1
00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:04,680
Speaker 1: Oh a right time, Old Bay Steve Plaster into the

2
00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:15,600
Speaker 1: end zone. Buckstown Bucks down down, touchdowns, down all the time.

3
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:26,280
Speaker 1: This is the middle game of a three game homestand

4
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:28,400
Speaker 1: and today I'm against the Super Bowl champions from a

5
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:30,240
Speaker 1: year and a half ago. The Bills will have to

6
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:33,959
Speaker 1: play better to earn this victory. And Josh Allen keeps

7
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:35,920
Speaker 1: it himself, runs right side, got the first down and

8
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:38,560
Speaker 1: more inside the twenty and he gets bang around and

9
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:40,360
Speaker 1: dropped to the ground and the flight goes down at

10
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:42,680
Speaker 1: the fifteen yard line to the four man rush. Alan

11
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:44,880
Speaker 1: steps away from pressure, runs to his right, fires a

12
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 1: short one put at the five into the end zone. Touchdown,

13
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:51,080
Speaker 1: Paul Beasley touchdown. Buffalo Bills on top of the Eagles.

14
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:53,880
Speaker 1: Two minutes left first half. Josh keeps it, runs it himself,

15
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 1: Baul gets knocked out of his hands as he goes

16
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:57,960
Speaker 1: right side and lose Paul down there around the twenty four.

17
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 1: Eagles say they have it and they do. Takes the snap,

18
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 1: gonna throw it. Cox's arm looks right now, looks left,

19
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 1: fires into the end zone, caught touchdown. Dallas Goddard touchdown.

20
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 1: Philadelphia hands it off top Sanders finds room up the middle.

21
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:12,960
Speaker 1: Now he cuts to the left and he's on the

22
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 1: run inside the Buffalo forty inside the thirty, down the sideline.

23
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 1: He's going all the way. Touchdown Philadelphia. Miles Sanders took off.

24
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:23,959
Speaker 1: Now it is third down, third and eight Eagles fresh five,

25
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:26,119
Speaker 1: Alan gets rid of it. Fires cut by col Beasley

26
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 1: on the run as the first down and more down

27
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 1: the fart sideline inside the thirty. Now it's third and thirteen.

28
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:34,040
Speaker 1: Short path this one top by Singletary has room at

29
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 1: the twenty, inside the fifteen, headed into the end zone. Touchdown, touchdown,

30
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 1: the motor into the end zone. Touchdown, Buffalo, snap and

31
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:45,959
Speaker 1: they'll give it the Boston. Scott ranging over the left side,

32
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 1: spinning his way into the end zone. Touchdown Philadelphia from

33
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 1: four yards out gives the Eagles the touchdown that they needed.

34
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 1: Final gun goes and the Bills come up short way short.

35
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 1: Thirty one thirteen to the Philadelphia Eagles. They earned it,

36
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 1: and the Bills have issues to deal with. Here you

37
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 1: go the game rewind, brought to you by Toshiba, the

38
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 1: official copy or company of the Buffalo Bills. That's the

39
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:09,920
Speaker 1: way we start, even when it's painful like that, and

40
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 1: Good afternoon, Walking to the show. Welcome to One Bill Side.

41
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:14,640
Speaker 1: We are here until three today. I'm John Murphy, Steve

42
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 1: tax Or co hosting, and Eric Wood joins us as

43
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 1: he does on Monday's. Good afternoon, gentlemen, how are you

44
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 1: doing today? Good? Suns up, suns up, it's beautiful out, Steve.

45
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 1: I mentioned to Eric yesterday as that game wound down yesterday,

46
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 1: and not to repeat myself, but it hit me yesterday

47
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 1: that was the Patriots loss was one thing close game

48
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 1: Brady held in check. Yesterday the Bills got steamrolled and

49
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:37,800
Speaker 1: it was kind of sobering. It was kind of like,

50
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say a wake up call that's cliche,

51
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 1: but just sort of like, whoa, Okay, we got some

52
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:44,399
Speaker 1: issues to deal with. We saw those on display yesterdays. Yeah,

53
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 1: and it's nothing we didn't know existed. It was. It

54
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 1: was illustrated for us, and I think a lot of

55
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 1: people kind of we convinced ourselves we're gonna get by

56
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 1: with whatever deficiency we have offensively, about not being able

57
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 1: to score points, about you know, penalties, about turnovers. Our

58
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 1: run defense was you know, was shown up a little

59
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 1: bit against Miami two games ago, and people are like, nah,

60
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 1: they'll they'll short up. It's gonna be good. You got

61
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:10,799
Speaker 1: to do that every week. And you met a team

62
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 1: that was really talented with a really good offensive line,

63
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 1: who was on a two game losing streak. They were

64
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 1: two game losing streak. They were embarrassed last week by

65
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. They were getting vilified in the press because

66
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 1: they were supposed to be a bunch of malcontents and

67
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:27,799
Speaker 1: didn't like each other and all that. They showed up. Yeah,

68
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:29,799
Speaker 1: they showed up big. I think I told you Eric,

69
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,239
Speaker 1: I watched the last game of the Eagles. I watched

70
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 1: on Saturday afternoon. I watched Eagles at Minnesota, two losses

71
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:37,839
Speaker 1: of goal, and even though they lost for eighteen points,

72
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 1: I think I told you yesterday. I was like, whoa Eagles.

73
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 1: They have talent. They're a pretty good team. Yeah, they're

74
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 1: definitely talent talented. And you know a guy who's probably

75
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 1: their best player, and that says a lot with the

76
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 1: amount of talent they do have, as Fletcher Cox, and

77
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 1: he met his presence known early in that game. You know,

78
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 1: I mentioned in the broadcast the first player of the game.

79
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 1: He penetrates and knocks off the center Mitch Morris on

80
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,120
Speaker 1: his pool. Well, now we're unable to get to the

81
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 1: extra defender out there and no gain or potentially even

82
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 1: a loss on that first play. Second player of the game,

83
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 1: he makes the tackle against the running back Frank gore

84
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 1: Goun off the middle, and then the third play of

85
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 1: the game he creates a sack fumble. He made his

86
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 1: present known early in that game. He had a sack

87
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 1: and a half on the day. He's a really good player.

88
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:20,360
Speaker 1: Brandon Graham's a good player of Barnett's a good pass

89
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 1: rusher and third down packages. They bring in Vinny Curry,

90
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 1: who can rush the passer. The early draft round, early

91
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:29,280
Speaker 1: draft pick sweat they bringing him in the game. He's

92
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:30,839
Speaker 1: got a great get off off the edge. I thought

93
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 1: he was off sides a couple of times. He was

94
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 1: getting off the ball so fast. So they have a

95
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 1: ton of talent up front, and I think one end

96
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 1: of the game everyone thought, Okay, well they don't have

97
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:41,919
Speaker 1: Nigel brad him their secondaries beat up. It's gonna be

98
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 1: easy to run the ball. But in a game when

99
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 1: they're expecting you to run the ball, sometimes it's stuff.

100
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 1: And when the windy conditions are the way they were

101
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 1: we were never able to take the top off the

102
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 1: defense to maybe get those secondary players out of the

103
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 1: box to be able to get some more effective runs.

104
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 1: All right, the other side of the ball, And maybe

105
00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 1: this is the alarming part of an airic. I'll start

106
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 1: with you. Defense through the first six games this year

107
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:06,039
Speaker 1: gave us every indication that they were solid and you

108
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 1: couldn't do anything against them. They had some amazing games

109
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 1: in the first half dozen games, and then yesterday they

110
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 1: get steamrolled on the ground. What happened there the Bills defense?

111
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:15,599
Speaker 1: You know, I think a lot of it's the fits.

112
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,679
Speaker 1: The run fits. So the way Sean McDermott and Leslie

113
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:23,360
Speaker 1: Fraser coach defense, unless they're pressuring, it's all one gap penetration,

114
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 1: one gap responsibilities, and it really makes it important for

115
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:31,040
Speaker 1: you to force the running back to your help. So,

116
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:34,159
Speaker 1: for instance, there was on the really long run, Matt

117
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 1: Milano didn't do a good job of forcing him to

118
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 1: Micah Hyde, who was coming down to fill. And when

119
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:43,280
Speaker 1: you have two guys in the same spot, especially when

120
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 1: you have speed like Miles Sanders, you can take it

121
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 1: to the house. You know. On the day, I think

122
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 1: you know, the Eagles offensive line got the better of

123
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 1: the Bills D line and linebackers. You know, there were

124
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 1: times where they weren't double teaming at the line of scrimmage,

125
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:56,919
Speaker 1: they were simply releasing up to the linebackers. Well, the

126
00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 1: linebackers for the Bills have made it so easy on

127
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:02,599
Speaker 1: the Bills defense this year because when they double team.

128
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:05,720
Speaker 1: When offensive lineman double team, Tremaine Evans and Matt Malana

129
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 1: are both excellent at shooting the gap pulling them off

130
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 1: their double team making plays in the backfield. Where there

131
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 1: was times yesterday where the Eagles simply released to the

132
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 1: second level on inside plays. You generally see that on

133
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 1: an outside play. They were doing it on inside plays

134
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:21,280
Speaker 1: and just washing the D line down the line of

135
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 1: scrimmage and making sure they had bodies on the really

136
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 1: talented linebackers of Buffalo. Steve, your thoughts on the Buffalo

137
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 1: defense and the shortcoming yesterday. I thought it was an

138
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:32,920
Speaker 1: attitude win by the Philly offense. Those guys they wanted

139
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,920
Speaker 1: to come out and make a statement. They played hard

140
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 1: and physical and fast. Uh. Their their game plan was excellent.

141
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:45,480
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz showed particularly in that drive to the long

142
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 1: drive to go up by I believe it was one

143
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 1: thirteen the last drive when he scrambled twice on two

144
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:55,039
Speaker 1: successive third and down third and longs. So the Bills

145
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 1: were kind of getting him into third and longs and

146
00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 1: they found a way to stay on the field. Carson

147
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:01,359
Speaker 1: went scrambled a couple of times. I think it was

148
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:03,920
Speaker 1: in consecutive third downs maybe, or maybe there was one

149
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 1: third down in between or one first down between the two.

150
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:09,160
Speaker 1: But I thought it was an attitude win for their

151
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 1: entire team, not only defensively for the for the Eagles,

152
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 1: but also offensively. I thought they established the line of

153
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 1: scrimmage on both sides of the ball, and you know,

154
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 1: that's where it starts, and everything else kind of took

155
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 1: care of itself. And I thought, that's nice of a

156
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 1: receiver to say that that's true. I mean it's really true.

157
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 1: I mean that their their run game. They rushed for

158
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 1: over two hundred yards on that team, and that's something

159
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 1: was Haywire, not only in the attitude that Philly brought

160
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 1: to the table of the Bills didn't match, but also

161
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 1: in their their ability to just dominate the line of

162
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 1: scrimmage and you know, the game, the conditions had a

163
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 1: little bit to do with that, maybe in the early

164
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 1: going where they wanted to feel how they were gonna

165
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 1: what they were gonna be able to do against the

166
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 1: win and with the win. But I thought their offensive

167
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 1: and defensive lines set the tone and their skill positions.

168
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 1: Their skill positions just really took advantage of it. A

169
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,119
Speaker 1: couple of things from a SI at a standpoint as well,

170
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 1: when the Eagles had twelve personnel on the field with

171
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 1: Ertz and Goddard, oftentimes the Bills were bringing in Dean

172
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 1: Marlow in place of Lorenzo Alexander because they didn't want

173
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 1: him matched up on one of those two tight ends.

174
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 1: That's it's a mismatch in the passing game. They likely

175
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:15,119
Speaker 1: would have checked to a pass in those situations. When

176
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 1: you bring off off of the field the two hundred

177
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 1: and fifty pound Lorenzo Alexander and you bring on a safety, well,

178
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 1: that creates a size mismatch, you know, up front for

179
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 1: the Bills, And they were able to exploit that at times,

180
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 1: and and and because of that, you know, it may

181
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 1: be something where in the future for the Bills, they're

182
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 1: they're going to have to do something differently against these teams.

183
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 1: We saw them run that personnel grouping out against the

184
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:43,680
Speaker 1: Giants a lot based upon Evan Ingram being their top

185
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 1: receiving threat. That's exactly why all these teams are having

186
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 1: these two tight end sets a lot. They're running a

187
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:50,199
Speaker 1: lot more this year than they have in the past

188
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:53,400
Speaker 1: because teams were matching up light and if you've got

189
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 1: tight ends, it can block or if you can switch

190
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 1: out of those plays, you do get a mismatch. And

191
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 1: that's that's what we're talking about. We're a one guy

192
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 1: on the defense that makes the difference and then and then,

193
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 1: and that's that's the margins you're working with. One thing

194
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 1: Philly also did schematically is early in the game they

195
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 1: hit Nelson Aglar on a jet sweep for sixteen yards. Well,

196
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 1: when they got that one, now the Bills had to

197
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:15,839
Speaker 1: honor all those fakes the rest of the game. It

198
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:19,719
Speaker 1: slows your linebackers from truly getting downhill. Another thing they

199
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:22,040
Speaker 1: did is they were running a lot of zone plays

200
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:24,960
Speaker 1: with a guy coming back across the formation, So they're

201
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:28,199
Speaker 1: simply washing everybody to go one way, and then one

202
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 1: guy was getting the cutoff block who's coming back across

203
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:32,960
Speaker 1: the formation. And not to get way too technical, but

204
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 1: in a one gap defense. That's that is now a

205
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 1: new blocker on the backside, and it creates every it

206
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,680
Speaker 1: creates just a little bit of confusion. We would do

207
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:45,080
Speaker 1: this the teams all the time throughout my career. When

208
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:46,960
Speaker 1: you have a one gap scheme, it doesn't work as

209
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 1: well against two gappers. Think New England. A guy who's

210
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 1: lined up right over the top of you. He's trying

211
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 1: to read you. When you get the one gap penetrators,

212
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:57,079
Speaker 1: you can often wash them, take their momentum. Yeah, you

213
00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:59,679
Speaker 1: use their momentum against them and get that cut off

214
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 1: on the back back side. And but but teams have

215
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:05,320
Speaker 1: tried to do that earlier this year. The Eagles were

216
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 1: just able to do with more success yesterday. It was

217
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 1: a difficult loss to be sure too. I think a

218
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 1: better team yesterday for sure, the Eagles. But here's the

219
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:14,680
Speaker 1: thing we want to well, let me tell you about

220
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 1: our Twitter poll first. Let me tell you about our show. First.

221
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 1: Eric is here until one. Chris Brown's coming by a two.

222
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 1: Plenty of time for you to a phone in and

223
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 1: send in your comments and tweets and on our Twitter

224
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:25,959
Speaker 1: poll today after the loss of the Eagles, we want

225
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 1: to kind of look forward what's your biggest concern moving forward?

226
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 1: As I said, a sobering loss where some of the

227
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 1: bills shortcomings, their failings were fully exposed. So what are

228
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:38,079
Speaker 1: you most worried about? Pretty simple Twitter poll? Offense or defense?

229
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 1: What's your biggest concern moving forward? That's our Twitter poll,

230
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:43,520
Speaker 1: four hundred votes in already seventy four percent of you

231
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 1: more worried about the offense, twenty six percent of you

232
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 1: more worried about the defense. At this point, as the

233
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:50,960
Speaker 1: Bills move forward, and they do move forward, Steve, with

234
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 1: more than half a season left, five and two records,

235
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 1: they are still the fifth seed in the AFC playoff picture.

236
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 1: That doesn't mean much at the end of October right now,

237
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 1: but it was a tough loss with some issues that

238
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 1: were raised, as we talked about here already today. But

239
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:07,680
Speaker 1: in the big picture, things haven't changed that much after that. No,

240
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:10,320
Speaker 1: they haven't. And I'll tell you this too. I don't

241
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 1: know that you need jerk. Yeah, yeah, particularly now because

242
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 1: we're talking about this. Tomorrow is the trade deadline, and

243
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:20,079
Speaker 1: we've been talking about you know, because if you need

244
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 1: jerk that all of a sudden, you're gonna go out

245
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 1: and you're gonna trade for defensive lineman, offensive lineman and stuff.

246
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:26,960
Speaker 1: We've been talking about wide receivers up until this point,

247
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 1: you know, so trying to get some points on the board.

248
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 1: But I think also it does you gotta step back

249
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:35,560
Speaker 1: and say, well, whoa, we didn't lose anything here. It's

250
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 1: standings wise, and it's certainly it's sobering to get beat

251
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 1: by eighteen points in your own building. But you knew

252
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:46,559
Speaker 1: that team was, you know they were. I think about

253
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 1: what they do if they go three and five, they're

254
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 1: three and five, they lose that game, they know it.

255
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:53,439
Speaker 1: They're only one game out of their division lead, and

256
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 1: that was gonna go away in the first half of

257
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 1: their season if they didn't, if they didn't win that

258
00:11:56,920 --> 00:12:00,360
Speaker 1: game yesterday. We saw the same thing too weeks ago,

259
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 1: and I said it earlier. Miami gave us the best

260
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:06,600
Speaker 1: shot they had and we beat them by eleven. Philly

261
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 1: gave us the best shot they had and they beat

262
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:11,320
Speaker 1: us by eighteen. That's the difference in those teams. That's

263
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 1: the difference in the executions, the difference in the game plans,

264
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:16,960
Speaker 1: the difference in their quarterback, their running game, their offensive

265
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:20,079
Speaker 1: line being able to hang thirty thirty one points on

266
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:22,959
Speaker 1: the defense that the Bills run out there, which is

267
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:27,680
Speaker 1: still a pretty good defense. So it was a bad

268
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 1: week for Buffalo. I thought they showed up a little bit,

269
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 1: a little bit flat. The turnover right at the beginning

270
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:34,960
Speaker 1: of the half. There was a big turning point right

271
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 1: before halftime when Josh turned it over on the twenty

272
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:40,440
Speaker 1: eight yard line. They went in scored, They went up

273
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:45,440
Speaker 1: eleven to seven, and then Houske couldn't hit the field

274
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 1: goal with the win. Instead of being ten to eleven

275
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:50,720
Speaker 1: at half, it was seven to thirteen. They come out

276
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:52,199
Speaker 1: and snap off the big run, and all of a

277
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:54,719
Speaker 1: sudden you're down. You're down double digits for the rest

278
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 1: of the game with Eagles and facing them and the

279
00:12:57,640 --> 00:12:59,959
Speaker 1: end of their season. Yesterday, Eric, they did this last year.

280
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 1: He started three and four then right off six wins

281
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 1: in their last seven weeks, made the playoffs, want a

282
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 1: playoff game, so they they had been there before, they

283
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:09,559
Speaker 1: knew what was at stake yesterday to be certain, Yeah, absolutely,

284
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:12,960
Speaker 1: And I'm with going back to your poll question. You

285
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:15,680
Speaker 1: know where the concern is. I don't know how you

286
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:17,719
Speaker 1: don't say the offense when you when you look at

287
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:20,080
Speaker 1: the Bills defense is tied for third in the league

288
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 1: and giving up points, I mean they have and the

289
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 1: Bills have had a number of turnovers this year and

290
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 1: we had a pump block for a touchdown and those

291
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:30,199
Speaker 1: are all counted in that and what they've been able

292
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:32,440
Speaker 1: to do defensively. Yes, they had an off week last week,

293
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:37,200
Speaker 1: you know, especially defending the run, but that happens. You know,

294
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 1: games like that happened. You play sixteen games now, bounce

295
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:41,680
Speaker 1: back from it. What are you gonna learn from it?

296
00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:44,320
Speaker 1: How are you gonna you know, shore up that run defense.

297
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:47,320
Speaker 1: And sometimes it takes getting exposed to make you really

298
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:51,880
Speaker 1: analyze what you're doing and maybe as a player, really

299
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 1: put your focus on that. And you know, we talked

300
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 1: about it before the game. When the Eagles were able

301
00:13:56,640 --> 00:14:00,600
Speaker 1: to run the ball effectively, when Jordan Howard average over

302
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:02,599
Speaker 1: five yards of carry they won this year, yeah, and

303
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 1: their losses. He averaged three point two yards per carry. Well,

304
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 1: you end of the first half and you have that

305
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:09,720
Speaker 1: turnover and they capitalize off of that, but you're really

306
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:11,440
Speaker 1: playing about even with them, maybe even a little bit

307
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:13,319
Speaker 1: better than them. Well, Jordan Howard, I believe in the

308
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:15,480
Speaker 1: first half was averaging right around two point five two

309
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:17,520

Speaker 1: pretty cool. I appreciate that. Yeah, it was. It was

323
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 1: quite an honor. We talked about it at length on

324
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 1: the show last week. We don't have to bore the

325
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 1: listeners with it again. But I was completely It's important.

326
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 1: I was completely blown away by the night. I don't

327
00:14:57,360 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 1: say this facetiously. I say this humbly. If there was

328
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:02,720
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty people in the room. I think

329
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 1: there was about a hundred of them from Cincinnati or Louisville,

330
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:08,880
Speaker 1: uh there to support me, and it was just absolutely incredible.

331
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:12,360
Speaker 1: There's me shaking hands with Francisco Garcia, a guy who

332
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 1: I really looked up to it during my time at UVL.

333
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:21,560
Speaker 1: Here's me struggling through my speech. Uh man I, um, well,

334
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:23,840
Speaker 1: I never got to make a true retirement speech. You know.

335
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:26,880
Speaker 1: The injury announcement has kind of known as my retirement

336
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 1: speech up here, which is a shame. Maybe one day,

337
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:32,120
Speaker 1: Uh maybe if the right people are listening right now,

338
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:35,000
Speaker 1: I'll get an offer to uh have another send off

339
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:37,240
Speaker 1: at some point. But but regardless, I never got to

340
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:39,560
Speaker 1: give a lot of the proper thank yous, And what

341
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 1: I had to say to my wife and my parents

342
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:44,840
Speaker 1: was emotional and um and I'm also not a crier.

343
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 1: So when you're not a crier and you start to

344
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:48,280
Speaker 1: get emotional and it only comes out once every five

345
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 1: or ten years, it's tough. Three you can't stop. Yeah,

346
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 1: that's tough to restrain that you went back here Alma

347
00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:57,640
Speaker 1: mater for a home coming to Northwest first time I'm

348
00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 1: back in thirty four years. I wasn't it's great. Do

349
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:04,360
Speaker 1: they remember driving rainstorm and we got our heads caved

350
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 1: in by Iowa, But it was fun. We outdoors watching again. Yeah,

351
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 1: it's outdoors and stay. Yeah, they've got Northwestern has always

352
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 1: been you know, it's a small private school. There's sixty

353
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 1: five hundred, seventy five hundred undergrads in about three or

354
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 1: four five thousand graduates, so it's like twelve thousand kids there.

355
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:24,400
Speaker 1: You know, you're playing against Michigan Ohio State you've got

356
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:27,880
Speaker 1: fifty thousand students. So it's right. And I was huge too,

357
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:31,960
Speaker 1: so it's always been like that. So they just opened

358
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:36,840
Speaker 1: this facility. The football facility is the all sports facility

359
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 1: and it's it's on the shores of Lake Michigan with

360
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:45,040
Speaker 1: a view of the Chicago skyline the shoreline of Lake Michigan,

361
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 1: and it's it's elevated. It's a football field indoor, much

362
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:51,720
Speaker 1: like the Bills Fieldhouse, but it's like two stories up

363
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 1: off the ground. The field is with buildings and rooms

364
00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:58,520
Speaker 1: underneath it. And you've got you're looking at Lake Michigan

365
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:01,840
Speaker 1: with a s It's unbelievable. I'm like, what And their

366
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:04,440
Speaker 1: weight rooms a lot like the Bills now the Bills

367
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:07,840
Speaker 1: Health Wellness Center here. I mean it's almost identical at

368
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 1: this college. It's like there's like eight thousand kids here.

369
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:13,040
Speaker 1: And so they gave me the big Nickel tour of

370
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:16,119
Speaker 1: that and and we went around and the game was okay.

371
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:18,840
Speaker 1: I mean, it was a Saturday in Chicago was a

372
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:23,960
Speaker 1: fire hose. I mean it was literally for eight hours,

373
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 1: it poured poured hard. In fact, we didn't even get

374
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 1: a chance to see Marvin and his wife. We couldn't

375
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 1: get downtown because because of the traffic and the and

376
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:34,080
Speaker 1: the rain. So it was a good weekend though. It

377
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:36,159
Speaker 1: was fun. Yeah, after the tour, how much money did

378
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:38,840
Speaker 1: you end up donating your check? Well, no I didn't.

379
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:43,160
Speaker 1: I will, but no, I will. I will anybody there

380
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:46,960
Speaker 1: in the Northwestern football department the dates back to your era,

381
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:51,280
Speaker 1: anybody left, No thirty four years No, nobody, nobody, no,

382
00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:54,400
Speaker 1: I but I'm well acquainted with Pat Fitzgerald, that head coach.

383
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:56,879
Speaker 1: He played ten years after I finished, and then was

384
00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 1: an assistant coach and took over really early in his

385
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:01,639
Speaker 1: life due to the sudden and tragic death of the

386
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:05,520
Speaker 1: head football coach at fifty two UM and so he

387
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:07,360
Speaker 1: took over and has been there for fourteen year. He's

388
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:10,240
Speaker 1: almost the Dean of Big ten coaches. Who's your coach,

389
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:13,760

00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:48,080
Speaker 1: gonna laminate on the game. And um, I know the Bills,

403
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:51,520
Speaker 1: I know the Yeah, Hi, how are you doing this afternoon? Good?

404
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 1: We got Jack. Go ahead, Okay, I'm not gonna laminate

405
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:57,119
Speaker 1: about the game. It's over, it's done. I know the

406
00:18:57,160 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 1: Bills and McDermot, are gonna put this back together. We

407
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:04,280
Speaker 1: gonna win big against Washington going forward. But my concerns

408
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:07,680
Speaker 1: three things. Is Number one, I know ed Oliver's a rookie.

409
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:12,040
Speaker 1: He's an undersized defensive tackle. I expected more from him

410
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:14,520
Speaker 1: coming out of the draft at number nine in the draft.

411
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 1: I don't even think he has maybe one sack. I

412
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:21,200
Speaker 1: mean I may be wrong, just one. Yeah. The other

413
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:27,040
Speaker 1: concern us Frank Gore Hall of Famer class act. But um,

414
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:32,199
Speaker 1: my thoughts going forward is making Devin Singletary our first

415
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:36,199
Speaker 1: go to as far as giving the ball due to

416
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:39,960
Speaker 1: his speed and his ability to break free. Um. And

417
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:42,960
Speaker 1: the last thing I had a concern about was the

418
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 1: um It was that Oliver changing back as far as

419
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 1: making Singletary our primary and um, I can't remember. That's okay,

420
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:56,119
Speaker 1: Jimmy got two good ones the same thing. Let me

421
00:19:56,160 --> 00:20:00,240
Speaker 1: start here. You watch in line play at Oliver. There

422
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:02,600
Speaker 1: are times when it looks like he's not big enough.

423
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:05,639
Speaker 1: And look that the Eagles had tremendous success running right

424
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:08,000
Speaker 1: up the middle of yesterday both against Oliver and uh

425
00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 1: you know, startled Tula Lay and whole bunch of him

426
00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:12,560
Speaker 1: right there. Yeah, I think coming into this game, and

427
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:15,720
Speaker 1: really for a rookie to step into the role that

428
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:18,280
Speaker 1: he's playing, he's doing a great job of playing his

429
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 1: one eleventh. Oftentimes, you know, his role within the defense

430
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:23,640
Speaker 1: will either simply to be to penetrate one gap. Well,

431
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:26,399
Speaker 1: oftentimes when you penetrate that one gap, you're forcing the

432
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:28,080
Speaker 1: ball a different area and that's when you see the

433
00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:32,239
Speaker 1: linebackers step up and make plays in his place. You know,

434
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:35,000
Speaker 1: I know he wants more production in the sack game

435
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:37,400
Speaker 1: and oftentimes, you know, Jordan Phillips has been so good

436
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:39,440
Speaker 1: rushing the passer. He is the d tackling there on

437
00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:43,000
Speaker 1: third down. So Ed's getting a few less chances at those,

438
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:44,960
Speaker 1: especially not being on the field on a number of

439
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:47,040
Speaker 1: third downs. But you know, I don't think there's room

440
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:49,400
Speaker 1: to pan. There's there's a time to panic right now

441
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 1: as a rookie. Is he gonna play games that aren't

442
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 1: as good. Sure, he's going against Brandon Brooks yesterday, an

443
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:58,439
Speaker 1: incredible guard for the Eagles, um a guy who was

444
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 1: an excellent pickup for them. He started his career in

445
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:04,840
Speaker 1: Houston and was a big free agent signing for him.

446
00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:07,359
Speaker 1: He also dealing with Jason Kelsey, an all pro center,

447
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:10,480
Speaker 1: So you're dealing with really good players up front. Lane

448
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:12,880
Speaker 1: Johnson an excellent football player in himself when when he's

449
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:14,840
Speaker 1: trying to scoop him off on the backside. So no

450
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:18,320
Speaker 1: room to panic on Ed. I just want to see

451
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:20,960
Speaker 1: constant progression through this season, and I think we've seen

452
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:23,480
Speaker 1: that so far. And you can't have one wet and

453
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:26,440
Speaker 1: crazy day in Orchard Park change your opinion of them completely. Hey,

454
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:28,520
Speaker 1: I'm Steve jim brings up, but I think an interesting

455
00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 1: point and I can't get my arms around the running

456
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:35,040
Speaker 1: back rotation. Singletary played sixty nine percent of the snaps yesterday.

457
00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:38,280
Speaker 1: Gore played twenty eight twenty nine percent, but Singletary only

458
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:40,399
Speaker 1: had three carries, none in the first half. I'm not

459
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:42,240
Speaker 1: quite sure where they're going with that and what they've

460
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:44,000
Speaker 1: done so far with it. I think I think it's

461
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:45,920
Speaker 1: free flowing. I don't think they have this thing where

462
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:47,480
Speaker 1: they come in and say, Frank you're gonna do a

463
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:50,000
Speaker 1: You're gonna get this many snaps and Singletary, you're gonna

464
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:51,600
Speaker 1: get this many. I think they go into the game

465
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:53,320
Speaker 1: with a certain plays they know they like each of

466
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:57,440
Speaker 1: those guys to run, and a certain situations it calls

467
00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:00,239
Speaker 1: for Frank Gore and a certain situations it calls for Singletary. Now,

468
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:02,280
Speaker 1: certainly there's a lot of plays that either one of

469
00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:05,399
Speaker 1: them can run. But I think at this point, like

470
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:07,880
Speaker 1: you can see it, they made some adjustments at halftime

471
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:10,720
Speaker 1: and Singletary got he got one touch in the first half,

472
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:14,200
Speaker 1: got eight touches in the second half. I think there's more.

473
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:17,679
Speaker 1: It's more free flowing about they And believe me, they

474
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:20,719
Speaker 1: don't care a bit and you can Eric, you can

475
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:22,240
Speaker 1: back me up on this. They don't care if one

476
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:24,239
Speaker 1: guy gets thirty touches one guy gets three, as long

477
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:27,840
Speaker 1: as they're productive. But they're gonna try different things throughout

478
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:29,800
Speaker 1: the game, and they're gonna give these guys chances. And

479
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:31,680
Speaker 1: when things start to work, then they start to plug

480
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:34,040
Speaker 1: it in and you see the percentage has changed. So

481
00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:37,280
Speaker 1: the rotation isn't a rotation where they say, okay, now

482
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:39,719
Speaker 1: it's your turn. It says, listen, we want to do this,

483
00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 1: and you're the best guy to do it. And I

484
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:45,960
Speaker 1: think it has more dictated by Frank's proven ability to

485
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:50,040
Speaker 1: get hard inside yardage and Singletary's ability to catch the

486
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:52,159
Speaker 1: ball and to be a little bit better in space,

487
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:55,760
Speaker 1: and I think that dictates some of what that rotation is,

488
00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:59,040
Speaker 1: because I don't think it's a it's now, it's your turn,

489
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:01,160
Speaker 1: Now it's you're out, ounce your turn kind of thing.

490
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:02,720
Speaker 1: I think it's listen, this is what we're gonna do.

491
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:04,440
Speaker 1: This is what they're showing us, and this year our

492
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:08,720
Speaker 1: best option. And they run enough. Yesterday, Ericay ten world

493
00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:10,679
Speaker 1: passes then runs. When the game is over and they

494
00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:12,400
Speaker 1: fell behind, they had to throw at the end. Yeah,

495
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:14,000
Speaker 1: so they fall behind in the second half and they

496
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:15,720
Speaker 1: have to throw the ball. They also get a twelve

497
00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:18,200
Speaker 1: yard run by Devin Sincletary wiped off the board by

498
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:20,840
Speaker 1: a holding call that I was very against on the

499
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 1: broadcast and I talked to Lee Smith about it last

500
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:25,040
Speaker 1: night and he asked the referee afterwards. He said, I

501
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:27,480
Speaker 1: don't know exactly what you want me to do there,

502
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:30,119
Speaker 1: because that is exactly what I'm coaching to do. I

503
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:33,080
Speaker 1: never grabbed him. He simply blocked him with leverage, and

504
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:35,119
Speaker 1: as he tried to separate, he threw him on the ground.

505
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:37,760
Speaker 1: And I guess maybe in today's NFL you just got

506
00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:39,720
Speaker 1: to keep guys on their feet because if the ref

507
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:42,000
Speaker 1: sees the ball go by and a dude hits to

508
00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:44,359
Speaker 1: the ground, there's a fifty fifty shot, whether it was

509
00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:46,879
Speaker 1: holding or not, that that eflec's coming in that situation,

510
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:52,440
Speaker 1: and so that wipes twelve yards off the board. I think,

511
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:55,040
Speaker 1: especially early in games, Brian day Ball has a trust

512
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:57,560
Speaker 1: factor with Frank Gore to get him four or five

513
00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:00,240
Speaker 1: yards on first down and keep the full playbook open.

514
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:03,240
Speaker 1: And I think that is why you're seeing more carries

515
00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:06,880
Speaker 1: from Frank Gore early in games. And I think as

516
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:08,879
Speaker 1: the season goes on, you know, as Frank Gore's in

517
00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:11,240
Speaker 1: there there I believe I read it this morning, forty

518
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:12,920
Speaker 1: percent of the snaps with Frank Gore in the game

519
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:15,880
Speaker 1: is an eight man box against normal personnel. Well, now

520
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:17,680
Speaker 1: that opens the play action, So maybe we see more

521
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:20,160
Speaker 1: play action with Frank Gore in Okay, when Devin Singletary

522
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:23,040
Speaker 1: goes in, yes, he only was. You know, he had

523
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:25,440
Speaker 1: three rushes for nineteen yards on the game, over six

524
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:27,040
Speaker 1: yards of carry and he has a twelve yard or

525
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 1: wiped out. Well, he also was targeted six times in

526
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:33,439
Speaker 1: the past game and he catches four of those. The

527
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:37,360
Speaker 1: one touchdown on the swing pass was excellent, and maybe

528
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:40,640
Speaker 1: you see a little bit more running with Devon because

529
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:43,000
Speaker 1: he got targeted six pay plays and you know, I

530
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:45,040
Speaker 1: think with an offense and we constantly got to remind

531
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:47,800
Speaker 1: ourselves with an offense that replaced that has nine new

532
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:50,639
Speaker 1: starters this year. Tyler Croft was out for a portion

533
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:52,720
Speaker 1: of this year, or for most of this year. Devin

534
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:55,160
Speaker 1: Singletary was out for most of this year. They're still

535
00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:57,960
Speaker 1: trying to find all the right combinations of skill, guys.

536
00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:02,280
Speaker 1: I mean, you saw yesterday Robert Foster was up, McKenzie down.

537
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:04,680
Speaker 1: Maybe next week it flips back. You know, we get

538
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:07,399
Speaker 1: more jet sweeps with McKenzie and whatnot. But you know,

539
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:09,199
Speaker 1: I think this is going to be evolving as the

540
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 1: season goes on, especially as they try to get their footing.

541
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:14,119
Speaker 1: Call here from Peter and Amherst. Total Peter, welcome to

542
00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:16,600
Speaker 1: the show. You're on the air of this. Hey, how's

543
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:19,359
Speaker 1: it going, guys? Okay, good, thanks for having me on.

544
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:22,200
Speaker 1: I just wanted to talk real quick, UM just about

545
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:25,320
Speaker 1: UM Sean McDermott and Josh Allen, just their relationship how

546
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:29,280
Speaker 1: it relates to UM. You know, our first sound production

547
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:32,240
Speaker 1: and then not only is Sean McDermot not really helping

548
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:36,240
Speaker 1: out Josh Allen late in the second half, our lousy

549
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:39,960
Speaker 1: first sound production making him throw the ball all three downs,

550
00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:44,080
Speaker 1: but also how it relates to using seventh singletary now

551
00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:47,080
Speaker 1: that he's you know, healthy, looks like he's a really

552
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:50,360
Speaker 1: good runner for us, Frank Or can constantly get those

553
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:52,960
Speaker 1: couple of yards on first down, but we don't really

554
00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:56,320
Speaker 1: seem to be using it. And then also just kind

555
00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:58,440
Speaker 1: of highlighting that this was kind of the first game

556
00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:01,440
Speaker 1: that our defense really didn't grow up, and then how

557
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:05,840
Speaker 1: our offense couldn't really handle the pressure in the second half. Okay, um, yeah,

558
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:07,720
Speaker 1: I don't know about that. I mean, they dropped back

559
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:12,320
Speaker 1: eighteen they dropped. He threw Josh Allen through eighteen times

560
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:17,840
Speaker 1: on first down, which is the modern NFL. I don't

561
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:21,040
Speaker 1: know how you think Sean mcdermot's gonna And by the way,

562
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:23,160
Speaker 1: Sean McDermot wants the game starts. I mean, it's called

563
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:26,240
Speaker 1: Brian Dable helping Josh Allen. I don't I don't know

564
00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:29,959
Speaker 1: what you mean by helping Josh Allen and why he

565
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,800
Speaker 1: didn't and why you think he didn't, But to think

566
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:35,440
Speaker 1: that they're not, you know, trying to help Josh Allen

567
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:38,280
Speaker 1: be successful. I think is not right. I think they're

568
00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:39,960
Speaker 1: given trying to give him the best chance to win

569
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:43,720
Speaker 1: and giving him plays he can run. I detect Eric

570
00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:46,280
Speaker 1: would a sentiment among fans both on our show and

571
00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:48,160
Speaker 1: some early stuff I was listening to that there were

572
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:52,760
Speaker 1: there's certain play calls or offensive approach that could have

573
00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:54,480
Speaker 1: won this game for Buffalo. I don't know about that.

574
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 1: I do think the better team won yesterday. I do

575
00:26:56,720 --> 00:27:00,879
Speaker 1: think the Bills were handled on both of scrimmage, But

576
00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:03,720
Speaker 1: I don't know what kind of play calls would Would

577
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:05,800
Speaker 1: you like to see him run more? Sure? In retrospect, yeah,

578
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:08,520
Speaker 1: which would run? Because they didn't only score thirteen points,

579
00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:11,120
Speaker 1: So that's just not a yesterday problem even either. That's

580
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:13,840
Speaker 1: like all season long, they've had offensive issues, right, And

581
00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:17,399
Speaker 1: for me, I don't think it's as much on the

582
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:19,840
Speaker 1: play calling. I'm actually a huge fan of Brian day Ball.

583
00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:22,720
Speaker 1: I've made that very well known throughout the broadcast. This

584
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:25,920
Speaker 1: is a very intelligent mind. He's an experienced offensive coordinator

585
00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 1: in this league, and he's spent a great bulk of

586
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:34,199
Speaker 1: his career under Josh McDaniels in running the system in

587
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:36,879
Speaker 1: New England, and that's a system that I am a

588
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:40,879
Speaker 1: huge fan of because it's really well rounded. It's you know,

589
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:43,480
Speaker 1: it's it's not the spread, but it has spread concepts.

590
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:45,560
Speaker 1: It's not the power game, but but they will run

591
00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:47,640
Speaker 1: it run power. And it's so multiple. I think it's

592
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:50,119
Speaker 1: hard to prepare for each week. But you know, we

593
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:54,080
Speaker 1: could critique, you know, not having downfield passing, but on

594
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:55,719
Speaker 1: some of the shots that have been opened this year,

595
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:58,040
Speaker 1: maybe the old line has failed, Maybe Josh just barely

596
00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 1: overthrows it, maybe the receiver's angle wasn't exactly correct where

597
00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:02,560
Speaker 1: it needs to be. And that's the stuff that you

598
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:04,760
Speaker 1: just need to keep progressing on as the season goes.

599
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:07,080
Speaker 1: I feel like I've said it multiple, way too many

600
00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:10,080
Speaker 1: times already today, but with nine new starters, you could

601
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:12,199
Speaker 1: simply need to continue to get better on offense. Now.

602
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:16,240
Speaker 1: Was yesterday a step back probably, but really tough conditions.

603
00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:20,800
Speaker 1: Talented Eagles defense, especially upfront costume havoc for the Bills yesterday.

604
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:22,160
Speaker 1: All right, we got a lot more to talk about.

00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:57,600
Speaker 1: John Murphy, t Tasker Eric Wood joins us for the

613
00:28:57,600 --> 00:28:59,400
Speaker 1: rest of this hour. We'll take your phone calls. This

614
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:01,920
Speaker 1: just in the trade deadlines tomorrow. The Jets made a

615
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:04,800
Speaker 1: move traded Leonard Williams to the Giants this morning for

616
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:06,880
Speaker 1: a third round pick in twenty twenty and a fifth

617
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:10,200
Speaker 1: rounder and twenty twenty one. Leonard Williams is a quality player.

618
00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:12,360
Speaker 1: He's really good player. I thought he's found dating guy

619
00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 1: for that he is. I guess as they looked at

620
00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:16,520
Speaker 1: maybe their salary cap situation over the next couple of years,

621
00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:18,720
Speaker 1: that maybe they're thinking, we can't afford to keep them,

622
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:21,920
Speaker 1: so let's try and maximize some capital here or struggling

623
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:25,520
Speaker 1: this year, maybe we just try and move on from now,

624
00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:29,000
Speaker 1: get some draft capital. And they've always been really solid

625
00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:33,200
Speaker 1: along their front. And you know, without watching too much

626
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:35,720
Speaker 1: of the film, at times throughout his career, he's kind

627
00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:38,080
Speaker 1: of a sometimes player. Sometimes he goes really hard. Sometimes

628
00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:41,320
Speaker 1: he doesn't. Maybe that's a message to the defense that

629
00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:43,200
Speaker 1: if you want to be around here for the future,

630
00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:45,600
Speaker 1: you need to play down in and down out for

631
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:48,440
Speaker 1: the jet And see the Dolphins sending messages. They traded

632
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:51,280
Speaker 1: running back Kenyan Drake, who the last time I looked

633
00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:53,720
Speaker 1: a week ago and he is their leading rusher and

634
00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:56,280
Speaker 1: was their leading receiver and he goes to the Arizona

635
00:29:56,280 --> 00:30:02,440
Speaker 1: Cardinals for conditional draft pick. Next we've talked. We've had

636
00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:07,160
Speaker 1: huge conversations about the tank that Miami seemed to be

637
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:09,200
Speaker 1: going through like they're deliberately And I'll tell you what

638
00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:13,520
Speaker 1: it for me. In the sport we've played, Eric, if

639
00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:16,320
Speaker 1: you're gonna if you're gonna send messages like that from

640
00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:18,920
Speaker 1: the top down, Certainly the coaches and players are doing

641
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:23,400
Speaker 1: everything they can to win every game. As they're preparing,

642
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:25,960
Speaker 1: their practicing, they're putting hard and they're sacrificing. But I'll

643
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:28,320
Speaker 1: tell you what, it goes south in a hurry. If

644
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:30,480
Speaker 1: the players in the locker room don't believe that the

645
00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:33,800
Speaker 1: organization is on board with them trying to win every week.

646
00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:38,719
Speaker 1: If the somehow becomes okay to lose, what's gonna have

647
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:40,800
Speaker 1: to happen in Miami is a little bit of what's

648
00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:44,720
Speaker 1: happening now. Almost everybody in that locker room, every player

649
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:46,920
Speaker 1: in that locker room who's ever been associated with when

650
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:49,160
Speaker 1: it was okay to lose, has to be gone at

651
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:51,239
Speaker 1: some point over the next before they can rebuild it,

652
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:54,920
Speaker 1: because that is something that is like, it's a disease

653
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:58,200
Speaker 1: and you've got and I think in our sport, you've

654
00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:02,080
Speaker 1: got to completely get that out of your building before

655
00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:03,880
Speaker 1: you can move forward. And I think that if they

656
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:06,080
Speaker 1: go further than they keep going like this, it's going

657
00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:07,920
Speaker 1: to send a message those guys you talk about, guys

658
00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:11,360
Speaker 1: if they want to be around nobody wants to be around,

659
00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:14,440
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, or if they're making a good buck,

660
00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:17,560
Speaker 1: whet I'll stick around. Doesn't matter if we win. You

661
00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:18,840
Speaker 1: don't care if we you know, if you guys up

662
00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:20,480
Speaker 1: there don't care if we win. I'm gonna sit here,

663
00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:23,320
Speaker 1: take the money, and I'm gonna just survive. Right And then,

664
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:26,800
Speaker 1: you know, for them in that locker room, you're an

665
00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:30,120
Speaker 1: independent contractor. Now, the organization obviously does not care about

666
00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:33,000
Speaker 1: winning this year, and that's fine. You're an independent contractor.

667
00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:35,160
Speaker 1: You are playing for your next job, whether it's with

668
00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:37,840
Speaker 1: the Dolphins or another team, week in and week out.

669
00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:41,240
Speaker 1: And unfortunately, I played in a number of i say,

670
00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:44,040
Speaker 1: meaningless games towards the end of the season. I only

671
00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:46,920
Speaker 1: played a meaningful week seventeen game in my last year

672
00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:49,200
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Well, I played a number of games

673
00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:51,920
Speaker 1: where it didn't matter, it had no playoff implications. But

674
00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:54,400
Speaker 1: I would tell the offense, the offensive line before the game.

675
00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:56,320
Speaker 1: I would get everyone on the same page, like, look,

676
00:31:56,920 --> 00:31:58,920
Speaker 1: we are trying to earn our jobs for next year.

677
00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:00,600
Speaker 1: We are trying to set a culture here where it's

678
00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:02,880
Speaker 1: not okay to lose. And I would that's where kind

679
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:05,640
Speaker 1: of I would pinpoint people. And you talk about trading

680
00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:08,760
Speaker 1: guys away right before the season. When we do our

681
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:12,800
Speaker 1: make our playoff run, we trade away Sammy Watkins and

682
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:15,640
Speaker 1: Ronald Darby, two of our most talented players early round draft,

683
00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:19,920
Speaker 1: early draft picks for the Whaley organization regime in the

684
00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:23,560
Speaker 1: front office, we trade them away. You know it took.

685
00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:25,920
Speaker 1: It took a meeting with Sean McDermott with probably six

686
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:27,960
Speaker 1: or seven of US veteran leaders to say, look, here's

687
00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:30,840
Speaker 1: our plan, this is what we are thinking. We are

688
00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:33,200
Speaker 1: worried about winning now and in the future, we are

689
00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:35,240
Speaker 1: going to try and replace these guys. And they brought

690
00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:39,440
Speaker 1: in they bring in EJ. They well, they bring in

691
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:41,280
Speaker 1: in that moment EJ. Gaines, who ends up being a

692
00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:43,680
Speaker 1: great player for us that year. And they brought in

693
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:47,920
Speaker 1: Jordan Matthews who came over from Philly and he had

694
00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:49,840
Speaker 1: got hurt that year, but he was pretty productive early

695
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:53,480
Speaker 1: in the year. But when we got to meet these guys, EJ. EJ. Gaines,

696
00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:55,160
Speaker 1: Locker is right between me and Richie's. I got to

697
00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:58,640
Speaker 1: know him really quick. He's all about ball and I said, oh, okay,

698
00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:01,120
Speaker 1: I'm starting to get this. I'm starting to get what

699
00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:03,600
Speaker 1: they're doing. It makes sense. It makes a lot more

700
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:05,360
Speaker 1: sense to me now than when I said, oh, our

701
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:08,360
Speaker 1: earliest draft pick two years ago was Ronald Darby and

702
00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:11,200
Speaker 1: we got rid of him and we traded to whatever

703
00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:14,000
Speaker 1: we had to give up to get Sammy at number three. Overall,

704
00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:16,840
Speaker 1: what are we doing? Well? It made sense, And then

705
00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:19,600
Speaker 1: we all bought together what they're doing to Miami. You

706
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:21,760
Speaker 1: can't get anybody to buy into that, right right, And

707
00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:24,120
Speaker 1: that's the thing too. And even so and people left

708
00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:26,000
Speaker 1: like you bring up the fact that they traded and

709
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:28,800
Speaker 1: got Kelvin Benjamin. The fact that they're trying to get

710
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:31,479
Speaker 1: back it didn't work, and Kelvin Benjamin didn't work out here.

711
00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:33,840
Speaker 1: I mean he didn't play well and didn't really seem

712
00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:36,520
Speaker 1: to put the effort in. But they were trying to

713
00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:38,959
Speaker 1: get better, you know, even if it didn't work, right,

714
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:40,600
Speaker 1: if they get a guy he didn't work, you know,

715
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:43,440
Speaker 1: but they weren't like just throwing over the guys out

716
00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:45,520
Speaker 1: and then just bringing up a practice squad player or

717
00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:47,880
Speaker 1: you know, doing this guy or who's his street free agent,

718
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:49,520
Speaker 1: you know, guy that we bring in. They're trying to

719
00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:51,200
Speaker 1: get a guy who's on another team to get better.

720
00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:54,479
Speaker 1: So that message got out quick that we're gonna win

721
00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:57,320
Speaker 1: now and in the future, right particularly with you know

722
00:33:57,400 --> 00:34:00,239
Speaker 1: Marcel Darius. Yeah, then they trade Marcel, all those all

723
00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:02,440
Speaker 1: that stuff happened, and a little bit from the outside

724
00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:04,800
Speaker 1: looking in, you can speak to this was it was

725
00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:08,880
Speaker 1: about personality and culture and leadership as much as it

726
00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:12,359
Speaker 1: was production. Absolutely, it was. It was all culture. They

727
00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:15,359
Speaker 1: wanted guys they you know, since day one, Brandon Bean

728
00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:17,800
Speaker 1: and Sean McDermott have been aligned and what they identify

729
00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:19,799
Speaker 1: as a football player. They want on this team, and

730
00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:22,799
Speaker 1: they identify by having the right DNA, and Sean's talk

731
00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:26,040
Speaker 1: to length about that, Well, the right DNA was not

732
00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:29,719
Speaker 1: in those guys at that time. Sammy, I believe has

733
00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:31,680
Speaker 1: from the outside looking in, it looks like he's kind

734
00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:34,319
Speaker 1: of matured out in Kansas City. He's doing, you know,

735
00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:36,640
Speaker 1: his more of his one eleventh and kind of staying

736
00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:39,520
Speaker 1: in his lane whatever it may be. They've identified what

737
00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:41,440
Speaker 1: they want here and they've built a team and now

738
00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:43,160
Speaker 1: you're seeing the fruits of it when the Bills are

739
00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:45,520
Speaker 1: five and two at this point of the season and

740
00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:47,560
Speaker 1: they have a team that plays consistent week in a

741
00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:50,760
Speaker 1: week out, and they have depth they've built here. When

742
00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:53,839
Speaker 1: they get a guy heard, the next guy can pop in.

743
00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 1: But I had I had dinner with Ryan Fitzpatrick. I

744
00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:59,399
Speaker 1: actually called the Georgia Tech Miami game prior to coming

745
00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:01,640
Speaker 1: up the Buffalo that weekend. So I caught dinner with

746
00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:05,480
Speaker 1: Fits in Miami prior to the game that weekend, and

747
00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:08,640
Speaker 1: he was saying, prior to their first game of the season,

748
00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:11,080
Speaker 1: it was the craziest thing he's ever been a part of.

749
00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:13,720
Speaker 1: Never seen obviously, never seen anything like it throughout his career.

750
00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:17,200
Speaker 1: But there were guys that were coming into the huddle

751
00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:21,279
Speaker 1: for Friday practice that he had never met before, and

752
00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:23,600
Speaker 1: there was gonna be blocking for him. That's Sunday. He's like,

753
00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:26,320
Speaker 1: it's insane. So then you go into the game with

754
00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:30,080
Speaker 1: such a limited playbook that because you guys don't even

755
00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:33,279
Speaker 1: know what he was teaching guys the snap count, the

756
00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:36,200
Speaker 1: snap count going into the game the Saturday before their

757
00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:40,239
Speaker 1: first game against Baltimore, No wonder they got smoked. Yeah, hey,

758
00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:44,120
Speaker 1: NFL trade deadline tomorrow four pm. Steve, let's start with you.

759
00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:47,200
Speaker 1: Do you expect a move by the Bills and should

760
00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:49,439
Speaker 1: the Bills make a move? I do expect one because

761
00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:52,919
Speaker 1: I think they're in that market and I think they've

762
00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:55,319
Speaker 1: got cap space to do it. I think there's and

763
00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:57,680
Speaker 1: I think I've always said this since we've been talking

764
00:35:57,680 --> 00:35:59,640
Speaker 1: about this for a couple of weeks. I think it's

765
00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:02,640
Speaker 1: gonna be somebody we unexpected. Right, It's not a name

766
00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:05,120
Speaker 1: that we're talking about. It's a guy that's like, at first,

767
00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:07,080
Speaker 1: I think most of us will go, oh wow, I wonder,

768
00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:09,040
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, okay, let me check him out. You know,

769
00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:10,920
Speaker 1: it's gonna be one of those guys. Now, it might

770
00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:12,920
Speaker 1: not be it might be a guy like you know,

771
00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:15,600
Speaker 1: Leonard Williams or somebody like that. Or it might be

772
00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:17,920
Speaker 1: an AJ Green or whoever what happened might be one

773
00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:19,720
Speaker 1: of those names we know. But I think more likely

774
00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:21,960
Speaker 1: it's a guy that they know, they like, they know

775
00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:24,640
Speaker 1: his DNA, they know the kind of person he is,

776
00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:26,759
Speaker 1: and they'll say, this is the guy we're gonna get.

777
00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:28,359
Speaker 1: And I think, but I think we will. I think

778
00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:29,960
Speaker 1: we will charact. What about you do the Bills? Do

779
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:31,600
Speaker 1: you expect to move and do they need to make

780
00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:34,160
Speaker 1: a move. You know, the way the Bills value their

781
00:36:34,239 --> 00:36:37,839
Speaker 1: draft picks, I don't see them getting some top notch guy.

782
00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:40,839
Speaker 1: I don't see them getting an AJ Green type. Could

783
00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:43,880
Speaker 1: they add a piece at the deadline, maybe some depth

784
00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:46,960
Speaker 1: on the offense or defensive line at a cheaper price, potentially.

785
00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:50,359
Speaker 1: I don't think it's a must at this point, you know.

786
00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:54,680
Speaker 1: But you know, I think in knowing Brandon being and

787
00:36:54,719 --> 00:36:57,759
Speaker 1: his staff, they are always looking to upgrade the roster

788
00:36:58,080 --> 00:37:01,160
Speaker 1: anyway they can throughout the season. And I don't know

789
00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:03,319
Speaker 1: the numbers, and I knows for a fact, but they

790
00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:05,359
Speaker 1: got to work out. They work out more guys than

791
00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:10,279
Speaker 1: any other regime. I was here they're constantly evaluating what's

792
00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:14,520
Speaker 1: out there, and so would it surprise me, No, if

793
00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:17,239
Speaker 1: they made a move. It would really surprise me if

794
00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:20,080
Speaker 1: they made a huge splash just because a lot of

795
00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:22,239
Speaker 1: the guy and a guy like Aja Green. Would it

796
00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:24,800
Speaker 1: be great to bring him in? Yeah? Sure, he probably

797
00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:27,720
Speaker 1: upgrade your roster, maybe he's healthy enough to actually play.

798
00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:30,120
Speaker 1: But you get him for a one year deal. You

799
00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:31,640
Speaker 1: got a one year lease and you give up a

800
00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:34,279
Speaker 1: first round draft pick this year. Yeah, and he hasn't

801
00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:36,120
Speaker 1: played it all yet, that yet this year, and you're

802
00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:38,000
Speaker 1: talking about Josh Allen still getting on the rapport with

803
00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:40,600
Speaker 1: Cole Beasley and John Brown and these guys that he's

804
00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:43,080
Speaker 1: had since training camp. You think aj Green just comes

805
00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:45,760
Speaker 1: in here and changes all of the offensive a struggle

806
00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:48,120
Speaker 1: so far this season. Absolutely not. I don't think he

807
00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:50,480
Speaker 1: will either, But he'll get good enough to help you

808
00:37:50,520 --> 00:37:51,880
Speaker 1: at the end of the season, the last month of

809
00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:53,920
Speaker 1: the season. You're right, I mean that, and then that's

810
00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:57,000
Speaker 1: when you need him, right, especially this year. But I

811
00:37:57,040 --> 00:37:59,160
Speaker 1: think more so, and you're right, I think you're not

812
00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:02,359
Speaker 1: giving up a one for anybody right draft picks, this

813
00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:04,759
Speaker 1: this machine. They like their draft picks too much. Might

814
00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:08,799
Speaker 1: be a player. You'd probably be a player and maybe

815
00:38:08,840 --> 00:38:12,160
Speaker 1: a future late rounder where they can you know, trade

816
00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:15,520
Speaker 1: and get it back. So I would think probably there's

817
00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:19,279
Speaker 1: more talent guys on this team that are willing that

818
00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:22,000
Speaker 1: they'll probably use as collateral and a trade rather than

819
00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:25,239
Speaker 1: a draft pick. One more call here, Joe and Town.

820
00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:28,640
Speaker 1: I want to go ahead, Joe, Welcome to the show. Hi, guys. Well,

821
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:31,840
Speaker 1: I don't know what to say now everything's covered, But

822
00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:36,120
Speaker 1: I just heard saying Gable is helping Josh. Now, I

823
00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:38,640
Speaker 1: don't know, but my friends are all saying it's time

824
00:38:38,719 --> 00:38:43,760
Speaker 1: for a new offensive coordinator. Seven games and still fifteen

825
00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:47,000
Speaker 1: points a game that can't be a coincidence. Is Gable

826
00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:50,359
Speaker 1: under the microscope? Now, Joe, if your friends are telling

827
00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:52,960
Speaker 1: the way, Joe, if they're friends are telling you, get

828
00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:54,880
Speaker 1: a new offensive coordinator to get new friends, not a

829
00:38:54,920 --> 00:38:57,400
Speaker 1: new offensive coordinator. I mean, I get it. When the

830
00:38:57,400 --> 00:38:59,680
Speaker 1: players don't work, they blame the guy who called the play,

831
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:05,440
Speaker 1: and they're all pointing to him. Yeah, listen, Joe, I'm

832
00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:07,200
Speaker 1: sitting here as a former player. I'm sitting next to

833
00:39:07,200 --> 00:39:11,200
Speaker 1: a former player. It's about the players executing the plays.

834
00:39:11,239 --> 00:39:13,120
Speaker 1: It's not the play called there are good They are

835
00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:16,040
Speaker 1: good reasons. They got sound reasons, they got film study reasons,

836
00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:18,919
Speaker 1: they got matchup reasons for calling all the plays, even

837
00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:22,200
Speaker 1: the run pass, the ratio, who's on the field, the formations,

838
00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:24,520
Speaker 1: the players. This isn't just a random he doesn't pick it.

839
00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:27,880
Speaker 1: He doesn't. He's not like picking plays out of a hat.

840
00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:30,919
Speaker 1: They got a plan, they got a strategy, they've talked

841
00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:32,359
Speaker 1: about it, and it's up to the players to get

842
00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:34,279
Speaker 1: it done. And the players, and let's face it, you

843
00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:38,280
Speaker 1: can't watch that Philly game and think that the Bills

844
00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:40,920
Speaker 1: players executed the way you've seen them executor need to

845
00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:42,880
Speaker 1: execute it. I mean, and now you're gonna blame the

846
00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:45,879
Speaker 1: guy that you know called the play. I just can't

847
00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:48,680
Speaker 1: get there talking about play calling. Eric. I keep going

848
00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:51,120
Speaker 1: back to you know and Dable. I'm sure it is

849
00:39:51,200 --> 00:39:53,719
Speaker 1: used to being under fire and after losses, but if

850
00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:56,000
Speaker 1: you go back to the Tennessee game, that formative offense

851
00:39:56,440 --> 00:39:59,320
Speaker 1: was was was a piece of art. It was masterful.

852
00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:01,360
Speaker 1: And that's Bran Gable play calling right there. And I

853
00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:03,680
Speaker 1: don't think play calling is everything, but I can't get

854
00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:05,920
Speaker 1: over that formuted offense in the in the Titans game

855
00:40:06,120 --> 00:40:08,040
Speaker 1: Steve said on the show last week, it's a week

856
00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:10,680
Speaker 1: to week league. It's a week to week league for teams,

857
00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:14,000
Speaker 1: players and coaches, because how quickly you can forget you

858
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:16,120
Speaker 1: know what, I'm what I what jumps out to me

859
00:40:16,200 --> 00:40:18,880
Speaker 1: about Brian day Balls performance this year for this Bill's

860
00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:21,440
Speaker 1: team and contributing to their five and two record as

861
00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:24,400
Speaker 1: their red zone touchdown percentage and the plays that he

862
00:40:24,600 --> 00:40:27,480
Speaker 1: is drawn up for a quarterback that you can't simply

863
00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:30,600
Speaker 1: do what Aaron Rodgers was doing on Sunday Night Football

864
00:40:30,680 --> 00:40:33,120
Speaker 1: last night and just dropping back to throw every single

865
00:40:33,239 --> 00:40:36,000
Speaker 1: play and fitting in tight windows. Now, Josh has made

866
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:38,080
Speaker 1: a few plays through the air. They've also ranted in

867
00:40:38,120 --> 00:40:40,200
Speaker 1: with Frank Gore. They've they've been excellent on the goal

868
00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:43,319
Speaker 1: line this year. He's also run Josh Allen on these

869
00:40:43,400 --> 00:40:47,120
Speaker 1: QB design runs, these sweeps, these rollouts. The first game

870
00:40:47,120 --> 00:40:49,840
Speaker 1: of the season against the Jets, they run a bootleg

871
00:40:49,960 --> 00:40:52,400
Speaker 1: and he scores with his legs. I've been really impressed

872
00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:54,560
Speaker 1: with that. In their top going into last game, top

873
00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:57,400
Speaker 1: five in the league in touchdown percentage in the red zone.

874
00:40:57,520 --> 00:41:00,360
Speaker 1: And that's how you win football games with offense. A

875
00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:03,760
Speaker 1: doesn't score a ton of points. You capitalize in finishing

876
00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:06,040
Speaker 1: off drives. We got a break, We got more coming up.

877

915
00:43:00,920 --> 00:43:03,560
Speaker 1: Welcome to the show. Hi guys, I enjoy the show,

916
00:43:03,680 --> 00:43:07,320
Speaker 1: but I have to disagree with your assessment of Dable

917
00:43:07,400 --> 00:43:10,800
Speaker 1: as an offensive coordinator, and I'll tell you why. I

918
00:43:10,840 --> 00:43:14,160
Speaker 1: guess this is as sixty year as offensive coordinator in

919
00:43:14,160 --> 00:43:18,479
Speaker 1: this league, with four different teams, his teams have never

920
00:43:18,520 --> 00:43:22,480
Speaker 1: averaged over twenty points a game. And I think it

921
00:43:22,560 --> 00:43:25,520
Speaker 1: was Eric said, you know, he likes to gauge a

922
00:43:25,600 --> 00:43:28,799
Speaker 1: team's progress as the year goes on. The Bills don't

923
00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:32,120
Speaker 1: seem to be getting better at best, you could say

924
00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:36,160
Speaker 1: through tread and water. I'm just I was surprised when

925
00:43:36,640 --> 00:43:39,279
Speaker 1: when they hired Dable to begin with. But he just

926
00:43:39,320 --> 00:43:42,600
Speaker 1: doesn't have the track record. Who wants to talk about that, Steve,

927
00:43:42,680 --> 00:43:45,520
Speaker 1: want to go first? Now go ahead, I'm looking. I'm

928
00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:48,440
Speaker 1: going to his track record. Let's just see. No. Yeah,

929
00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:53,080
Speaker 1: And to your point, yes, yesterday was there was thirteen points. Well,

930
00:43:53,120 --> 00:43:55,239
Speaker 1: besides the Patriots, that's the lowest output of the year

931
00:43:55,440 --> 00:43:58,600
Speaker 1: as far as a point total goes. Crazy conditions in

932
00:43:58,719 --> 00:44:00,960
Speaker 1: Orchard Park, you know has something to do with it.

933
00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:03,640
Speaker 1: But you know, and you're welcome to your own opinion.

934
00:44:03,719 --> 00:44:07,440
Speaker 1: I truly have appreciated what Brian day Ball has done

935
00:44:07,480 --> 00:44:09,120
Speaker 1: this year. I really appreciated what he did towards the

936
00:44:09,200 --> 00:44:10,880
Speaker 1: end of last year as well, some of the design

937
00:44:10,960 --> 00:44:13,800
Speaker 1: plays to Robert Foster, some of the deep crossing routes,

938
00:44:13,960 --> 00:44:15,960
Speaker 1: some stuff that you're seeing more of John Brown do

939
00:44:16,160 --> 00:44:19,040
Speaker 1: this year. But I'm a fan of Brian day ball,

940
00:44:19,360 --> 00:44:22,160
Speaker 1: you know, And when you have so many new players,

941
00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:24,680
Speaker 1: you know, it's almost like having a first year offensive

942
00:44:24,719 --> 00:44:27,240
Speaker 1: coordinator because so many of the guys that are contributing

943
00:44:27,239 --> 00:44:28,879
Speaker 1: for the Bills this year, this is their first year

944
00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:32,120
Speaker 1: under him. And I'm with you, but but I understand

945
00:44:32,120 --> 00:44:33,879
Speaker 1: where the caller is coming from as well. Should there

946
00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:36,960
Speaker 1: be some concern about the Bills offensive production this year, well,

947
00:44:36,960 --> 00:44:38,799
Speaker 1: based upon how good the Bills defense has been, Yes,

948
00:44:38,800 --> 00:44:41,080
Speaker 1: because you don't want to ruin this season based upon

949
00:44:41,320 --> 00:44:43,960
Speaker 1: you know, you have this elite level defense top three

950
00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:46,400
Speaker 1: in the NFL, and scoring defense that is so valuable

951
00:44:46,400 --> 00:44:51,640
Speaker 1: you don't want to ruin it. But but yeah, moving forward, hopefully, well,

952
00:44:51,680 --> 00:44:53,920
Speaker 1: I looked at the weather forecast already, might be another

953
00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:57,160
Speaker 1: wetton cold day in Orchard Park next Sunday as well.

954
00:44:57,560 --> 00:44:59,560
Speaker 1: But but hopefully the Bills can take a step on

955
00:44:59,640 --> 00:45:04,080
Speaker 1: offense and getting guys like Tyler Croft back, getting Devin

956
00:45:04,160 --> 00:45:09,560
Speaker 1: Singletary back. They need to find the proper offensive personnel groups. Yeah,

957
00:45:09,560 --> 00:45:14,240
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't have a problem with it because listen,

958
00:45:14,280 --> 00:45:16,120
Speaker 1: the first month of the season he was getting kudos.

959
00:45:16,280 --> 00:45:20,440
Speaker 1: All of a sudden he announced, what's you know, what's changed?

960
00:45:20,480 --> 00:45:23,879
Speaker 1: I mean, he hasn't become a different guy, He's I

961
00:45:23,920 --> 00:45:25,640
Speaker 1: think the players have to take a step forward. I

962
00:45:25,640 --> 00:45:30,000
Speaker 1: think they got to do better at execution in the offense.

963
00:45:30,800 --> 00:45:34,280
Speaker 1: I think the play selection, and you can always complain

964
00:45:34,280 --> 00:45:39,000
Speaker 1: about play selection, particularly when they don't work. But yeah,

965
00:45:39,040 --> 00:45:44,920
Speaker 1: I am not anywhere near bailing out on on offensive

966
00:45:44,920 --> 00:45:47,279
Speaker 1: coordinator Brian day Ball at all. All Right, thanks for

967
00:45:47,360 --> 00:45:50,400
Speaker 1: her called Jeff Eric, we got Bills in Washington Sunday.

968
00:45:50,480 --> 00:45:52,879
Speaker 1: You've got Syracuse in BC Saturday right down the road.

969
00:45:53,000 --> 00:45:55,640
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, yeah, lucked out again. So I call the

970
00:45:55,640 --> 00:45:58,359
Speaker 1: Syracuse game on Saturday, and then I'll have a drive

971
00:45:58,400 --> 00:46:00,520
Speaker 1: down to Buffalo that night, heading to this Abs game

972
00:46:00,560 --> 00:46:03,439
Speaker 1: next Aarday night. They're having an incredible start to the season. Uh,

973
00:46:03,560 --> 00:46:06,040
Speaker 1: looking forward to checking them out, and um we'll head

974
00:46:06,080 --> 00:46:10,560
Speaker 1: down um obviously from there and and got really lucky

975
00:46:10,600 --> 00:46:12,879
Speaker 1: for that one. One of my buddies, Ricky Brown, coaches

976
00:46:12,880 --> 00:46:15,000
Speaker 1: at Boston College. I've had Syracuse already a couple of

977
00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:16,400
Speaker 1: times this year, so I don't have to prep on

978
00:46:16,400 --> 00:46:18,719
Speaker 1: that one hundred man roster. Simply focus in on the

979
00:46:18,760 --> 00:46:21,440
Speaker 1: BC one. Washington's in interesting roster. I took a look

980
00:46:21,440 --> 00:46:23,960
Speaker 1: today and saw a lot of unfamiliar names. Yeah, for sure,

981
00:46:24,200 --> 00:46:26,800
Speaker 1: a whole lot of production there either no and um.

982
00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:30,200
Speaker 1: You know a little teaser for the chopping wood segment

983
00:46:30,280 --> 00:46:33,520
Speaker 1: this this week. They have a really successful receiver there

984
00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:37,719
Speaker 1: um on the outside, their third round rookie UM from

985
00:46:37,800 --> 00:46:42,799
Speaker 1: Ohio State, Terry Uh. I kept McLaren. Yeah, yeah, a

986
00:46:42,800 --> 00:46:45,880
Speaker 1: couple wanted to call him McLaren, McLaurin and um. But

987
00:46:45,920 --> 00:46:48,080
Speaker 1: he ran a four three five at the four three

988
00:46:48,160 --> 00:46:49,799
Speaker 1: five forty at the combine. A guy who could take

989
00:46:49,840 --> 00:46:51,840
Speaker 1: the top off the defense already has over four hundred

990
00:46:51,880 --> 00:46:54,560
Speaker 1: yards receiving on the season, A guy similar to John

991
00:46:54,680 --> 00:46:56,920
Speaker 1: Ross where for the Bengals where you got to keep

992
00:46:56,960 --> 00:46:59,400
Speaker 1: a guy over the top. He presents that kind of matchup.

993
00:46:59,400 --> 00:47:02,680
Speaker 1: But be really interesting this week tracking if case Keendom's

994
00:47:02,719 --> 00:47:06,160
Speaker 1: going to come out of concussion protocol, because they are

995
00:47:06,160 --> 00:47:08,160
Speaker 1: a different team with Case Keenom in that line up.

996
00:47:08,160 --> 00:47:10,480
Speaker 1: They also have a very familiar face at running back

997
00:47:10,520 --> 00:47:13,640
Speaker 1: in Adrian Peterson, who, similar to Frank Gore, is kind

998
00:47:13,640 --> 00:47:16,560
Speaker 1: of found the fount in the youth and still a

999
00:47:16,600 --> 00:47:19,080
Speaker 1: productive back in this league. All right, all right, Steve,

1069
00:50:40,320 --> 00:50:43,480
Speaker 1: eight eight five fifty two five fifty. We did spend

1070
00:50:43,480 --> 00:50:45,760
Speaker 1: some time in the locker room after the loss yesterday.

1071
00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:47,600
Speaker 1: Now it's time to hear what they were saying. It's

1072
00:50:47,600 --> 00:50:49,959
Speaker 1: around the locker room, brought to you by Connect Life

1073
00:50:49,960 --> 00:50:52,600
Speaker 1: Blood and organ Donor Network. Here's what the bills were

1074
00:50:52,640 --> 00:50:56,720
Speaker 1: saying in the locker room. Yesterday. Defensive end Jerry Hughes

1075
00:50:56,840 --> 00:51:00,279
Speaker 1: on the Eagles success in the run game and the

1076
00:51:00,320 --> 00:51:03,120
Speaker 1: ball for over one hundred and fifty yards. So anytime

1077
00:51:03,239 --> 00:51:06,560
Speaker 1: you lucy Russian battle, don't get off the field on

1078
00:51:06,640 --> 00:51:08,879
Speaker 1: third time. You know, certainly they out physical to us.

1079
00:51:08,880 --> 00:51:10,960
Speaker 1: They came in there and post it will We just

1080
00:51:10,960 --> 00:51:13,600
Speaker 1: gotta figure out a way to review the film see

1081
00:51:13,600 --> 00:51:15,640
Speaker 1: how we can get better so we don't let this

1082
00:51:16,080 --> 00:51:19,360
Speaker 1: go on for too much. Farer linebacker Lorenzoy Alexander on

1083
00:51:19,440 --> 00:51:23,080
Speaker 1: Buffalo's defensive struggle. We couldn't stop stop them run it.

1084
00:51:23,160 --> 00:51:25,000
Speaker 1: You know, they always come down to man and man

1085
00:51:25,000 --> 00:51:27,480
Speaker 1: because a certain part of the game you knew they

1086
00:51:27,480 --> 00:51:29,319
Speaker 1: were running the ball, and we still couldn't stopping. So

1087
00:51:30,239 --> 00:51:32,120
Speaker 1: you have to do a great job across the board

1088
00:51:32,400 --> 00:51:34,319
Speaker 1: and every eleven guys out there, as far as one

1089
00:51:34,320 --> 00:51:36,000
Speaker 1: of your one on one matchup be able to come

1090
00:51:36,040 --> 00:51:39,640
Speaker 1: off blocks um in tackling guy, and we weren't able

1091
00:51:39,640 --> 00:51:42,880
Speaker 1: to do that at all. Safety Micah Hyde asked if

1092
00:51:43,000 --> 00:51:46,799
Speaker 1: he's worried about the Buffalo defense. The guys in this

1093
00:51:46,880 --> 00:51:48,480
Speaker 1: locker room, you know, the high chacter guys are not

1094
00:51:49,440 --> 00:51:52,600
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not worrying a bit about you know,

1095
00:51:52,680 --> 00:51:55,280
Speaker 1: the defense, about the offense, about everybody, you know, coaching,

1096
00:51:55,440 --> 00:51:57,480
Speaker 1: coaching stuffing on that. I mean, I feel like the

1097
00:51:57,520 --> 00:51:59,799
Speaker 1: high character guys that we have, they understand. You know,

1098
00:52:00,000 --> 00:52:01,920
Speaker 1: it's not the it's not the end of the season. Um,

1099
00:52:01,960 --> 00:52:03,879
Speaker 1: we had plenty of you know, it's still a long season,

1100
00:52:04,000 --> 00:52:06,359
Speaker 1: plenty of games left. Um, we understand that. And just

1101
00:52:06,440 --> 00:52:08,040
Speaker 1: you know, next week, another opportunity in front of our

1102
00:52:08,040 --> 00:52:10,960
Speaker 1: home crowd to comar hand, gonna win. Yeah, nobody's nobody

1103
00:52:10,960 --> 00:52:13,440
Speaker 1: was freaking out after the game. Nobody was panicking. Um,

1104
00:52:13,560 --> 00:52:16,600
Speaker 1: we'll watch it from tomorrow, getting corrected and and move forward.

1105
00:52:17,000 --> 00:52:20,000
Speaker 1: Quarterback Josh Allen on his second quarter fumble that led

1106
00:52:20,080 --> 00:52:23,160
Speaker 1: to a Philadelphia touchdown, And that's play that coach puts

1107
00:52:23,160 --> 00:52:25,319
Speaker 1: in my hands and I gotta be better with taking

1108
00:52:25,360 --> 00:52:26,600
Speaker 1: care of the football. And he's just one of those

1109
00:52:26,640 --> 00:52:28,839
Speaker 1: he got a got a hat on it, and um,

1110
00:52:28,880 --> 00:52:30,600
Speaker 1: they made a play when they needed too. And that's

1111
00:52:30,680 --> 00:52:32,600
Speaker 1: that's one that that shouldn't happen. That's one that's in

1112
00:52:32,640 --> 00:52:35,520
Speaker 1: my control that I can't let happen. Head coach Sean McDermott.

1113
00:52:35,880 --> 00:52:39,719
Speaker 1: Josh Allen's fumble being the potential turning point, momentum, Yeah,

1114
00:52:39,760 --> 00:52:42,320
Speaker 1: it's momentum. Yeah, before half, I think it was seven

1115
00:52:42,400 --> 00:52:46,960
Speaker 1: three at that point. Um, and we're thinking, hey, you know,

1116
00:52:47,560 --> 00:52:49,480
Speaker 1: run the ball here, we get a chance. If we

1117
00:52:49,560 --> 00:52:52,839
Speaker 1: get it, we'll go. If not, we'll punt it. And uh,

1118
00:52:53,360 --> 00:52:55,440
Speaker 1: they turn the ball over, so we can't can't do that.

1119
00:52:56,080 --> 00:52:58,719
Speaker 1: Wide receiver Cole Beasley. Is this a wake up call

1120
00:52:58,800 --> 00:53:01,480
Speaker 1: for the offense to play a full sixty minutes? I

1121
00:53:01,520 --> 00:53:02,799
Speaker 1: don't know if it's a wake up call. I mean

1122
00:53:02,800 --> 00:53:06,640
Speaker 1: we've we've known that already. So, um, we didn't. We

1123
00:53:06,640 --> 00:53:10,160
Speaker 1: didn't put together and many good quarters today. You know,

1124
00:53:10,280 --> 00:53:13,080
Speaker 1: usually put together a few. And Um, I don't know

1125
00:53:13,120 --> 00:53:15,799
Speaker 1: if we had more than one good quarter today or not. Um,

1126
00:53:15,960 --> 00:53:18,160
Speaker 1: I don't know. I gotta see the film. But we

1127
00:53:18,280 --> 00:53:20,680
Speaker 1: just gotta we gotta be better. It's it's still the

1128
00:53:20,719 --> 00:53:24,840
Speaker 1: same deal. So hasn't changed. Center Mitch Mort's on the

1129
00:53:24,880 --> 00:53:27,759
Speaker 1: Bill's inability to get the offense going early in game.

1130
00:53:28,040 --> 00:53:32,799
Speaker 1: You know, it's frustrating. Uh, there's no fingers pointed. I

1131
00:53:32,800 --> 00:53:34,279
Speaker 1: think the whole team knows that there's a sense of

1132
00:53:34,360 --> 00:53:37,520
Speaker 1: urgency that every person has, you know, a part to

1133
00:53:37,600 --> 00:53:41,080
Speaker 1: play and executing better. Um, you know for right now,

1134
00:53:41,080 --> 00:53:43,520
Speaker 1: it's just there's no panic. It's just a sense of

1135
00:53:43,600 --> 00:53:46,960
Speaker 1: urgency and uh no rolling back having a great we

1136
00:53:47,000 --> 00:53:49,359
Speaker 1: could practice. Give kudos to the Eagles that came out

1137
00:53:49,360 --> 00:53:55,000
Speaker 1: and you know they they got us, they got him.

1138
00:53:55,040 --> 00:53:56,520
Speaker 1: There you go around the locker room brought to you

1139
00:53:56,520 --> 00:53:59,000
Speaker 1: by connect like Blood and organ donor Network. To the

1140
00:53:59,160 --> 00:54:02,840
Speaker 1: Josha Ellens bite and the discussion about his second quarter fumble.

1141
00:54:02,880 --> 00:54:05,680
Speaker 1: Steve Eagles took over at the twenty four, scored a

1142
00:54:05,760 --> 00:54:07,960
Speaker 1: few plays later late in the first half. That was

1143
00:54:08,040 --> 00:54:10,440
Speaker 1: I think a turning point. And look, Josh now has

1144
00:54:10,440 --> 00:54:13,440
Speaker 1: fumbled it eight times, He's lost three fumbles, hasn't had

1145
00:54:13,480 --> 00:54:15,920
Speaker 1: an interception since the one in Tennessee a couple of

1146
00:54:16,000 --> 00:54:18,239
Speaker 1: weeks ago, so he's done a better job in that sense.

1147
00:54:18,280 --> 00:54:20,520
Speaker 1: But that's just carelessness with the football having it knocked

1148
00:54:20,560 --> 00:54:23,280
Speaker 1: out of his hands, especially and I believe Josh probably

1149
00:54:23,280 --> 00:54:24,680
Speaker 1: wants to run the ball. He wants to be a

1150
00:54:24,680 --> 00:54:27,000
Speaker 1: part of the rushing offense. Right. Good, you can be

1151
00:54:27,080 --> 00:54:30,040
Speaker 1: a part of it, but you can't lose the ball. Yeah,

1152
00:54:30,040 --> 00:54:31,480
Speaker 1: it's on a cold run too. It's not like he

1153
00:54:31,560 --> 00:54:33,880
Speaker 1: got he wasn't looking or didn't know that he was

1154
00:54:33,920 --> 00:54:39,239
Speaker 1: gonna get tackled. It's just, you know, he thought he

1155
00:54:39,320 --> 00:54:41,400
Speaker 1: was past the guy that swiped it out. The guy

1156
00:54:41,440 --> 00:54:43,640
Speaker 1: who reached back got a piece of it. And I've

1157
00:54:43,640 --> 00:54:45,920
Speaker 1: had it happen as well. I mean I've forced fumbles

1158
00:54:46,480 --> 00:54:49,360
Speaker 1: like that, and I've forced a fumble a couple of fumbles.

1159
00:54:49,360 --> 00:54:51,879
Speaker 1: One of them I barely touched the ball at all.

1160
00:54:51,960 --> 00:54:53,600
Speaker 1: It's just if you catch it at the right moment

1161
00:54:53,600 --> 00:54:56,040
Speaker 1: of the right pressure and that guy's not thinking about

1162
00:54:56,080 --> 00:54:58,920
Speaker 1: it right, it comes out easy. You gotta grip it

1163
00:54:59,040 --> 00:55:02,839
Speaker 1: and squeeze it one hundred percent of the time. Yeah,

1164
00:55:02,960 --> 00:55:04,840
Speaker 1: because somebody's always trying to rive it out, particularly in

1165
00:55:04,880 --> 00:55:06,960
Speaker 1: this day and age of the NFL. I mean, that's given.

1166
00:55:07,400 --> 00:55:09,520
Speaker 1: And you know, Josh thought he was already past the

1167
00:55:09,520 --> 00:55:11,560
Speaker 1: guy and the guy just reached back and plucked it

1168
00:55:11,600 --> 00:55:14,520
Speaker 1: out of there like nothing. And he fumbled it three

1169
00:55:14,560 --> 00:55:18,359
Speaker 1: times lost one of them. They got lucky that in

1170
00:55:18,360 --> 00:55:21,640
Speaker 1: that respect. That's got a change, Yep. I gotta be

1171
00:55:21,640 --> 00:55:23,200
Speaker 1: better with the ball. Let's hear what you think. Give

1172
00:55:23,280 --> 00:55:25,560
Speaker 1: us your thoughts our Twitter poll today. What's your biggest

1173
00:55:25,600 --> 00:55:28,680
Speaker 1: concern after the loss to the Eagles. And we kept

1174
00:55:28,680 --> 00:55:31,360
Speaker 1: it simple on the Twitter pole offense or defense? What

1175
00:55:31,400 --> 00:55:33,720
Speaker 1: do you think? With nine hundred and sixty five votes,

1176
00:55:33,719 --> 00:55:36,280
Speaker 1: in seventy seven percent of you say your biggest concern

1177
00:55:36,719 --> 00:55:39,640
Speaker 1: is the Buffalo offense. Twenty three percent say the Buffalo defense.

1178
00:55:39,920 --> 00:55:41,879
Speaker 1: Let's hear from your phone lines. Open the eight three

1179
00:55:42,040 --> 00:55:44,720
Speaker 1: five fifty toll free one eight eight eight five fifty

1180
00:55:44,760 --> 00:55:46,880
Speaker 1: two five fifty and we'll read some tweets. But what

1181
00:55:46,920 --> 00:55:48,560
Speaker 1: do you got there? Well, I got yeah, the stats,

1182
00:55:48,680 --> 00:55:51,279
Speaker 1: you know. And Jerry Houston, while they ran they ran

1183
00:55:51,320 --> 00:55:55,360
Speaker 1: for two hundred and eighteen yards yesterday the Eagles, he

1184
00:55:55,360 --> 00:55:56,759
Speaker 1: didn't look at the stats. He was just saying it

1185
00:55:56,760 --> 00:55:58,360
Speaker 1: felt like they ran one hundred and fifty yards on

1186
00:55:58,360 --> 00:56:00,279
Speaker 1: as well. It wasn't. It was more worse. And that

1187
00:56:00,960 --> 00:56:03,080
Speaker 1: was more than that. It was two hundred and eighteen yards.

1188
00:56:03,120 --> 00:56:06,560
Speaker 1: They gave up three rushing tds with a long run.

1189
00:56:06,600 --> 00:56:08,400
Speaker 1: Of course, that sixty five yard or right at the

1190
00:56:08,400 --> 00:56:11,719
Speaker 1: beginning of the second half. That was that was startling,

1191
00:56:12,400 --> 00:56:15,680
Speaker 1: big play, and that's you know, you got to bounce

1192
00:56:15,719 --> 00:56:17,680
Speaker 1: back from that. I've been in games like that as

1193
00:56:17,719 --> 00:56:20,120
Speaker 1: a player on good teams where you get hit in

1194
00:56:20,120 --> 00:56:22,600
Speaker 1: the mouth and you get embarrassed, and I think the

1195
00:56:22,600 --> 00:56:24,080
Speaker 1: Bills got to look at themselves and say, Wow, what

1196
00:56:25,120 --> 00:56:26,640
Speaker 1: are we doing? You know that? I mean, I think

1197
00:56:26,640 --> 00:56:28,040
Speaker 1: that had to be a little bit embarrassed, a little

1198
00:56:28,040 --> 00:56:30,919
Speaker 1: bit upset with themselves yesterday the way that game turned

1199
00:56:30,920 --> 00:56:32,839
Speaker 1: out and the way they played. To the tweet sheet,

1200
00:56:32,880 --> 00:56:34,840
Speaker 1: we go. The tweet sheet brought to you by Corrigan

1201
00:56:34,960 --> 00:56:38,200
Speaker 1: Moving Systems, the official movers of the Buffalo Bills. Your

1202
00:56:38,239 --> 00:56:41,520
Speaker 1: biggest concern after the loss of the Eagles, Bill tweets this,

1203
00:56:41,600 --> 00:56:44,640
Speaker 1: and I honestly don't know why offense is winning this poll.

1204
00:56:44,680 --> 00:56:47,359
Speaker 1: We know what the offense is and is not. The

1205
00:56:47,440 --> 00:56:50,840
Speaker 1: defense is the concern? Well moving forward? I think we

1206
00:56:50,880 --> 00:56:52,640
Speaker 1: have that right in our Twitter poll, and that's what

1207
00:56:52,800 --> 00:56:55,080
Speaker 1: I think most Look, I'm going to try to interpret this,

1208
00:56:55,200 --> 00:56:57,960
Speaker 1: which maybe out about I think most Bills fans have

1209
00:56:58,040 --> 00:57:00,200
Speaker 1: a pretty good belief that this defense that was an

1210
00:57:00,200 --> 00:57:03,120
Speaker 1: aberration yesterday, that was an outlier, and the defense we'll

1211
00:57:03,160 --> 00:57:04,799
Speaker 1: be back and we'll be better, much better. They have

1212
00:57:04,840 --> 00:57:06,799
Speaker 1: to be much better than they were yesterday. But it's

1213
00:57:06,840 --> 00:57:09,320
Speaker 1: the offense now through seven games, almost half a season,

1214
00:57:09,640 --> 00:57:13,239
Speaker 1: you know, which is not producing points, not producing touchdowns

1215
00:57:13,280 --> 00:57:15,960
Speaker 1: at a good rate. Right, fifteen touchdowns and seven games

1216
00:57:15,960 --> 00:57:17,400
Speaker 1: produced so far that it's not going to get it

1217
00:57:17,400 --> 00:57:20,000
Speaker 1: done right. And I think that maybe is why why

1218
00:57:20,040 --> 00:57:23,840
Speaker 1: the poll is tending towards the offense. Yeah, the defense

1219
00:57:23,880 --> 00:57:26,760
Speaker 1: hasn't done enough despite what they what everybody saw in

1220
00:57:26,800 --> 00:57:28,760
Speaker 1: the game yesterday, they haven't done enough to have everybody

1221
00:57:28,800 --> 00:57:31,040
Speaker 1: lose faith in the defense. The offense has yet to

1222
00:57:31,080 --> 00:57:34,880
Speaker 1: earn that faith, let alone lose it. So I think

1223
00:57:34,880 --> 00:57:37,160
Speaker 1: people still want this offense to score more than thirteen

1224
00:57:37,200 --> 00:57:38,960
Speaker 1: points that they did yesterday, even against a good de

1225
00:57:39,080 --> 00:57:41,360
Speaker 1: Philli defense. I guess the team that's two years removed

1226
00:57:41,360 --> 00:57:44,360
Speaker 1: from the World Championship, all of that stuff that we've said,

1227
00:57:45,120 --> 00:57:47,080
Speaker 1: they expect more. You got to score more points. And

1228
00:57:47,120 --> 00:57:49,840
Speaker 1: the next guy on Twitter says similarly, Tom says, I

1229
00:57:49,880 --> 00:57:52,040
Speaker 1: don't know why the offense is winning the poll so far.

1230
00:57:52,600 --> 00:57:55,520
Speaker 1: Clearly the defense is the bigger issue. Do you think

1231
00:57:55,560 --> 00:57:57,280
Speaker 1: we should make a trade on that side of the ball.

1232
00:57:57,840 --> 00:57:59,480
Speaker 1: So I listened to you. If you want to tell

1233
00:57:59,480 --> 00:58:01,040
Speaker 1: me the defense this is a bigger issue. I don't

1234
00:58:01,040 --> 00:58:03,360
Speaker 1: think that's true a trade on that side of the ball.

1235
00:58:03,400 --> 00:58:05,000
Speaker 1: I would listen to people who want to make a

1236
00:58:05,000 --> 00:58:08,640
Speaker 1: trade for a defensive player, especially if it's a defensive lineman,

1237
00:58:08,680 --> 00:58:11,600
Speaker 1: an interior defensive lineman. I think the loss of Harrison

1238
00:58:11,680 --> 00:58:14,160
Speaker 1: Phillips after what two weeks, I think that hurt this

1239
00:58:14,200 --> 00:58:16,440
Speaker 1: team more than we thought it would and more than

1240
00:58:16,480 --> 00:58:18,960
Speaker 1: anyone that dissipated it would. And I think they might

1241
00:58:19,320 --> 00:58:21,200
Speaker 1: need some help up there. They want to have a healthy,

1242
00:58:21,920 --> 00:58:24,800
Speaker 1: vigorous defensive line rotation. I don't know if they're getting

1243
00:58:24,840 --> 00:58:27,480
Speaker 1: that done without Harrison Phillips right now. And yesterday it

1244
00:58:27,560 --> 00:58:30,400
Speaker 1: showed the way the Eagles ran the ball, Yeah it was.

1245
00:58:30,520 --> 00:58:31,840
Speaker 1: It was a rough day on the ground and the

1246
00:58:31,880 --> 00:58:34,600
Speaker 1: and the Eagles man handled ahead of the Bills up front.

1247
00:58:34,960 --> 00:58:38,360
Speaker 1: They really dominated the line of scrimmage, and Sean McDermott,

1248
00:58:38,360 --> 00:58:41,240
Speaker 1: after being on the sidelines close up, said the exact

1249
00:58:41,320 --> 00:58:43,240
Speaker 1: same thing right after the game, when it was still

1250
00:58:43,240 --> 00:58:45,000
Speaker 1: fresh in his mind. He said he thought they helped.

1251
00:58:45,000 --> 00:58:47,000
Speaker 1: They controlled the line of scrimmage on both sides, and

1252
00:58:47,520 --> 00:58:50,000
Speaker 1: it really looked that way two hundred and eighteen yards rushing.

1253
00:58:51,680 --> 00:58:54,720
Speaker 1: I'm sure these guys are there that's a bad taste

1254
00:58:54,760 --> 00:58:57,720
Speaker 1: in their mouth, no question about it, and you know

1255
00:58:57,760 --> 00:58:59,160
Speaker 1: they got to live with until they get a chance

1256
00:58:59,160 --> 00:59:02,960
Speaker 1: to redeem themselves. A week from now against Washington One okay,

1257
00:59:02,960 --> 00:59:07,240
Speaker 1: one more from I guess Dine Dinah. The defense took

1258
00:59:07,240 --> 00:59:09,360
Speaker 1: a step back in the last two weeks, but the

1259
00:59:09,440 --> 00:59:12,280
Speaker 1: offense has had issues since Week one. Got to say

1260
00:59:12,320 --> 00:59:14,320
Speaker 1: the turnovers are a bigger concern than lining up in

1261
00:59:14,360 --> 00:59:17,600
Speaker 1: the neutral zone. Also, can you please ask Greg Cosell

1262
00:59:17,760 --> 00:59:20,440
Speaker 1: not to feature the Bills again? Every time he has,

1263
00:59:20,800 --> 00:59:24,320
Speaker 1: they lose great co cell of NFL matchup on ESPN

1264
00:59:24,520 --> 00:59:28,760
Speaker 1: or regular Friday guest. He featured the Bills defense this

1265
00:59:28,840 --> 00:59:30,640
Speaker 1: last week and he said they're a fun team to watch.

1266
00:59:30,720 --> 00:59:32,240
Speaker 1: They're doing all this stuff right. And they went on

1267
00:59:32,280 --> 00:59:34,560
Speaker 1: and on about how great the Bills defense was, and

1268
00:59:34,640 --> 00:59:36,200
Speaker 1: of course the Bills went out and laid an egg,

1269
00:59:37,080 --> 00:59:40,000
Speaker 1: which is what Dinah is referring to. Take a phone

1270
00:59:40,000 --> 00:59:42,240
Speaker 1: call Kevin and Hamburg on the line. Hello, Kevin, you're

1271
00:59:42,240 --> 00:59:46,760
Speaker 1: on the air. Thanks. The thing that concerned me most

1272
00:59:46,800 --> 00:59:50,400
Speaker 1: we know about the offense is the flatness that Steve

1273
00:59:50,480 --> 00:59:53,920
Speaker 1: talked about earlier about twelve fifteen, about an hour ago.

1274
00:59:54,520 --> 00:59:58,040
Speaker 1: They were flat. The last two weeks. We got saved

1275
00:59:58,040 --> 01:00:01,760
Speaker 1: because the three White interception I freak really saved our momentum.

1276
01:00:02,120 --> 01:00:04,720
Speaker 1: Otherwise we might have lost that one, and this week

1277
01:00:04,760 --> 01:00:06,800
Speaker 1: we played. We were flating against the team with a

1278
01:00:06,920 --> 01:00:09,640
Speaker 1: much better coach, a super Bowl winning coach, and he

1279
01:00:09,720 --> 01:00:12,880
Speaker 1: took advantage of our flatness. I don't know about flatness.

1280
01:00:12,960 --> 01:00:15,240
Speaker 1: I don't see it. If you see it, okay, I'll

1281
01:00:15,240 --> 01:00:17,120
Speaker 1: take your word for it. But I didn't see it.

1282
01:00:17,160 --> 01:00:19,640
Speaker 1: I didn't see flatness. I saw a team that was underperforming,

1283
01:00:20,040 --> 01:00:22,840
Speaker 1: especially on offense, over the most of the first half

1284
01:00:22,840 --> 01:00:25,440
Speaker 1: of the season. I didn't see flatness. The thing that

1285
01:00:25,520 --> 01:00:29,320
Speaker 1: stands out about this offense to me is your drive.

1286
01:00:29,360 --> 01:00:31,200
Speaker 1: You're coming out of your own end. They drove the

1287
01:00:31,240 --> 01:00:34,120
Speaker 1: football really well, went down, Cole Beasley catches the touchdown,

1288
01:00:34,120 --> 01:00:35,960
Speaker 1: they take the lead. They're gonna do it again. They're

1289
01:00:36,040 --> 01:00:38,560
Speaker 1: just coming out of their own end and Josh coughs

1290
01:00:38,560 --> 01:00:41,640
Speaker 1: the ball up. Then they get down there close. And

1291
01:00:41,760 --> 01:00:44,200
Speaker 1: even before the Cole Beasley touchdown, they got down there close.

1292
01:00:45,040 --> 01:00:49,600
Speaker 1: And you know, Lee Smith false start, you get an

1293
01:00:50,440 --> 01:00:53,439
Speaker 1: an illegal procedure penalty, you got something else happened. There's

1294
01:00:53,440 --> 01:00:54,840
Speaker 1: a couple of plays in a row. They took two

1295
01:00:54,880 --> 01:00:57,840
Speaker 1: penalties in a row, and then coming out of their

1296
01:00:57,840 --> 01:00:59,520
Speaker 1: own end on the next drive, they cough it up

1297
01:00:59,520 --> 01:01:05,880
Speaker 1: and give up to go ahead score. This offense really

1298
01:01:06,000 --> 01:01:10,520
Speaker 1: struggles to play mistake free. And I know no offense

1299
01:01:10,560 --> 01:01:15,080
Speaker 1: plays mistake free completely, but this offense makes you know,

1300
01:01:15,120 --> 01:01:18,800
Speaker 1: the big ones right, the holding call on a twelve

1301
01:01:18,880 --> 01:01:21,640
Speaker 1: yard run to the other side, there's a you know,

1302
01:01:21,640 --> 01:01:24,720
Speaker 1: there's a tick, there's an illegal procedure on a third

1303
01:01:24,720 --> 01:01:27,080
Speaker 1: and short, there's a down the red zone, you get

1304
01:01:27,120 --> 01:01:29,680
Speaker 1: a guy jumping off side or you know, or a

1305
01:01:29,720 --> 01:01:32,840
Speaker 1: fumble or a turnover one of those plays. It just

1306
01:01:32,880 --> 01:01:37,360
Speaker 1: seems like this offense short circuits itself and makes too

1307
01:01:37,400 --> 01:01:43,280
Speaker 1: many mistakes in execution to be successful. They certainly, at

1308
01:01:43,320 --> 01:01:47,520
Speaker 1: times show more than enough potential to be a team

1309
01:01:47,560 --> 01:01:51,720
Speaker 1: that's able to score more than seventeen or eighteen nineteen

1310
01:01:51,760 --> 01:01:54,200
Speaker 1: points a game. They look certainly looked like a team

1311
01:01:54,240 --> 01:01:56,600
Speaker 1: that could score twenty eight to thirty points a game

1312
01:01:56,640 --> 01:02:01,280
Speaker 1: at times, but they mistake the mistakes crush show. And

1313
01:02:01,480 --> 01:02:03,440
Speaker 1: yesterday they played a team that was able. It was

1314
01:02:03,480 --> 01:02:05,640
Speaker 1: good enough and talented enough and well coached enough to

1315
01:02:05,640 --> 01:02:08,160
Speaker 1: take advantage of all those mistakes. And that's what happened

1316
01:02:08,160 --> 01:02:11,040
Speaker 1: to him in New England as well, the mistakes they

1317
01:02:11,120 --> 01:02:13,440
Speaker 1: made on It wasn't the offense so much was a

1318
01:02:13,480 --> 01:02:15,919
Speaker 1: special team's mistake and that kind of thing. But man,

1319
01:02:15,960 --> 01:02:21,120
Speaker 1: this is a team that up until that time, up

1320
01:02:21,680 --> 01:02:23,920
Speaker 1: to the present time, has just made too many mistakes

1321
01:02:23,960 --> 01:02:26,840
Speaker 1: to get on track offensively in score points consistently. Let's

1322
01:02:26,840 --> 01:02:31,400
Speaker 1: go to Peter in Rochester. Hello, Peter, Welcome to the show. Yes,

1323
01:02:31,520 --> 01:02:35,920
Speaker 1: good afternoon, gents. It seems to me that the so what,

1324
01:02:36,080 --> 01:02:38,800
Speaker 1: the elephant in the room that we're avoiding to talk

1325
01:02:38,840 --> 01:02:45,200
Speaker 1: about is that is Josh Allen's ability to score touchdowns.

1326
01:02:45,800 --> 01:02:50,160
Speaker 1: He doesn't, he doesn't. He doesn't lead in touchdowns scored,

1327
01:02:50,520 --> 01:02:56,840
Speaker 1: he doesn't lead in yards passing yards, and yet he's

1328
01:02:56,880 --> 01:02:59,240
Speaker 1: still there. And the only thing he seems to have

1329
01:02:59,320 --> 01:03:06,080
Speaker 1: improved in is turnal was in interceptions. But what can

1330
01:03:06,160 --> 01:03:08,720
Speaker 1: be done and what is being done to get him

1331
01:03:08,800 --> 01:03:12,120
Speaker 1: so that he can score more touchdown? Well, I hear you, Peter.

1332
01:03:12,200 --> 01:03:14,120
Speaker 1: I mean they're working on all right, work in progress.

1333
01:03:14,200 --> 01:03:16,440
Speaker 1: Eighteen NFL starts now got a long way to go,

1334
01:03:16,520 --> 01:03:20,840
Speaker 1: There's no question about that. I do think Steve Josh

1335
01:03:21,200 --> 01:03:23,560
Speaker 1: did not look comfortable yesterday as far as what he

1336
01:03:23,600 --> 01:03:25,640
Speaker 1: was seeing. I thought that in the New England game

1337
01:03:25,640 --> 01:03:27,400
Speaker 1: and even in a couple of the wins. This year.

1338
01:03:27,720 --> 01:03:30,120
Speaker 1: But I think he's better now. I know he's better

1339
01:03:30,120 --> 01:03:32,120
Speaker 1: now that he was, say twelve months ago, maybe even

1340
01:03:32,160 --> 01:03:34,160
Speaker 1: two months ago, three months ago. There's a couple of

1341
01:03:34,200 --> 01:03:36,520
Speaker 1: things that happened in these games. One is when he

1342
01:03:36,560 --> 01:03:40,479
Speaker 1: plays a team like Philadelphia or New England, a little

1343
01:03:40,480 --> 01:03:43,600
Speaker 1: bit of Miami, all these teams are still attempting to

1344
01:03:43,640 --> 01:03:46,400
Speaker 1: give him things, to give him problems and try to

1345
01:03:46,440 --> 01:03:50,000
Speaker 1: give him looks that he has not seen before, seeing

1346
01:03:50,200 --> 01:03:53,280
Speaker 1: stuff over and over again, or the only is the

1347
01:03:53,320 --> 01:03:56,160
Speaker 1: only real way to get better as a quarterback. And

1348
01:03:56,520 --> 01:03:58,400
Speaker 1: I've heard a lot of guys this year, from Dan

1349
01:03:58,520 --> 01:04:01,600
Speaker 1: Rolovsky to Steve Young to all you know, the guys

1350
01:04:01,640 --> 01:04:03,400
Speaker 1: on TV, all these guys that played the game and

1351
01:04:03,440 --> 01:04:05,840
Speaker 1: the guys I worked with at CBSL say play in

1352
01:04:05,880 --> 01:04:08,040
Speaker 1: the position is the best way to get better. And

1353
01:04:08,080 --> 01:04:10,760
Speaker 1: he's still got a lot more reps to get to

1354
01:04:10,800 --> 01:04:13,880
Speaker 1: before he's seen enough that nothing surprises him. And then

1355
01:04:14,280 --> 01:04:17,160
Speaker 1: you combine that with a team that is as talented

1356
01:04:17,200 --> 01:04:21,040
Speaker 1: as the Eagles are, and there then you've got guys

1357
01:04:21,080 --> 01:04:23,720
Speaker 1: who are winning one on one matchups against your offensive

1358
01:04:23,720 --> 01:04:27,240
Speaker 1: line or against your receivers, and you got to deal

1359
01:04:27,280 --> 01:04:29,680
Speaker 1: with that as well. So you got to avoid the pressure.

1360
01:04:30,040 --> 01:04:32,840
Speaker 1: You gotta trust the pressure, to trust your offensive line

1361
01:04:32,840 --> 01:04:34,920
Speaker 1: when maybe they're not up to the task, and when

1362
01:04:34,920 --> 01:04:36,600
Speaker 1: the defense is taken it to you and winning the

1363
01:04:36,600 --> 01:04:39,720
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage. So there's all this stuff that's going

1364
01:04:39,760 --> 01:04:42,200
Speaker 1: on that is different week to week and what they're

1365
01:04:42,240 --> 01:04:45,560
Speaker 1: given Josh to deal with, and but the result is

1366
01:04:45,560 --> 01:04:48,120
Speaker 1: the same. They struggled to get into the end zone.

1367
01:04:48,280 --> 01:04:50,960
Speaker 1: They struggled at times, friend for a long time. Yesterday

1368
01:04:50,960 --> 01:04:53,880
Speaker 1: in Philly they had seven series that we're three and out. Yeah,

1369
01:04:53,880 --> 01:04:57,440
Speaker 1: that's not good enough. And a lot of it comes

1370
01:04:57,480 --> 01:05:01,080
Speaker 1: down to not just it's not Josh's ability, but it's

1371
01:05:01,120 --> 01:05:03,600
Speaker 1: aware his awareness of where to go with the football,

1372
01:05:03,640 --> 01:05:06,400
Speaker 1: where to look, what happens after the snap, what's he

1373
01:05:06,480 --> 01:05:09,040
Speaker 1: looking at, and how much did he recognize And that's

1374
01:05:09,080 --> 01:05:12,120
Speaker 1: really where the development is coming. In the next step

1375
01:05:12,120 --> 01:05:15,040
Speaker 1: for Josh. It's going to be a slow you know,

1376
01:05:15,080 --> 01:05:17,320
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a light bulb on a reistat where

1377
01:05:17,320 --> 01:05:19,720
Speaker 1: it's going to go from dim to bright, hopefully, because

1378
01:05:19,720 --> 01:05:21,880
Speaker 1: he's starting to see more and more and recognize more

1379
01:05:21,920 --> 01:05:24,240
Speaker 1: and more as these weeks pass and there has been

1380
01:05:24,280 --> 01:05:26,640
Speaker 1: progress there, but much more to come. I think I

1381
01:05:26,640 --> 01:05:30,080
Speaker 1: think he sees better now and recognizes what's happening more

1382
01:05:30,200 --> 01:05:31,960
Speaker 1: now than he did at the end of last year. Yea.

1383
01:05:32,000 --> 01:05:33,800
Speaker 1: And even if he sees the same look from week

1384
01:05:33,800 --> 01:05:36,440
Speaker 1: to week two weeks ago, you're looking at it from

1385
01:05:36,440 --> 01:05:38,800
Speaker 1: the Miami Dolphins and his offensive lie I can handle

1386
01:05:38,840 --> 01:05:43,080
Speaker 1: that look well. This week against Fletcher Cox, that look

1387
01:05:43,120 --> 01:05:44,720
Speaker 1: ain't gonna work. You know, you got to you gotta

1388
01:05:44,760 --> 01:05:48,000
Speaker 1: double team Fletcher Cox. You gotta protect differently against the

1389
01:05:48,040 --> 01:05:51,160
Speaker 1: same look with a differently talented defense that you're facing.

1390
01:05:51,200 --> 01:05:53,440
Speaker 1: So all of that goes into the make. It's a

1391
01:05:53,600 --> 01:05:57,040
Speaker 1: It's a really complicated game, and Josh Allen is still

1392
01:05:57,120 --> 01:06:00,760
Speaker 1: learning it as he goes and he's making some progress,

1393
01:06:00,760 --> 01:06:05,080
Speaker 1: no question. But one the one stat that we're all

1394
01:06:05,080 --> 01:06:07,840
Speaker 1: looking for is points. Yeah, he's you know, they've moved

1395
01:06:07,840 --> 01:06:10,760
Speaker 1: the ball. They had another long drive yesterday against the

1396
01:06:10,800 --> 01:06:14,240
Speaker 1: Philly the Philadelphia Eagles. He had another seventy yard drive

1397
01:06:14,320 --> 01:06:16,480
Speaker 1: yesterday for a touchdown. They stayed on the field, look

1398
01:06:16,520 --> 01:06:20,200
Speaker 1: good doing it. But they gotta They gotta score points

1399
01:06:20,240 --> 01:06:24,680
Speaker 1: more consistently, averaging nineteen points scored per game after yesterday.

1400
01:06:24,720 --> 01:06:27,080
Speaker 1: Let's go to Edric in New Jersey. Hello, Edric, Welcome

1401
01:06:27,080 --> 01:06:29,880
Speaker 1: to the show. Hey, hey guys, how are you okay?

1402
01:06:30,880 --> 01:06:33,080
Speaker 1: Hope you guys are doing well. It's a tough monday.

1403
01:06:33,160 --> 01:06:36,640
Speaker 1: But listen, we lost. We lost a good team and

1404
01:06:36,840 --> 01:06:40,280
Speaker 1: um that Eagles team. They walked out of our stadium

1405
01:06:40,320 --> 01:06:43,160
Speaker 1: thinking we just beat a heck of a team at home. So,

1406
01:06:43,480 --> 01:06:46,320
Speaker 1: you know, people want to jump off a ledge. I'm

1407
01:06:46,360 --> 01:06:47,960
Speaker 1: not holding you. You know you want to jump off,

1408
01:06:47,960 --> 01:06:52,000
Speaker 1: go ahead, I'm not gonna hold you back. But you

1409
01:06:52,040 --> 01:06:56,240
Speaker 1: know what, I do feel the complaint. I think people

1410
01:06:56,240 --> 01:06:59,919
Speaker 1: will complain about Dabel. I don't think they're really see

1411
01:07:00,240 --> 01:07:02,280
Speaker 1: what the problem is. And I think this is my

1412
01:07:02,360 --> 01:07:06,360
Speaker 1: opinion because I saw it before here in Buffalo. Dabel

1413
01:07:06,440 --> 01:07:11,000
Speaker 1: has a wonderful playbook. He has wonderful concepts, um wonderful.

1414
01:07:11,240 --> 01:07:13,200
Speaker 1: You know, he has a lot of eye candy for

1415
01:07:13,280 --> 01:07:16,919
Speaker 1: defenses with the jet streets and the movements. But I

1416
01:07:16,960 --> 01:07:21,400
Speaker 1: think he lacks a knack of calling a game. In

1417
01:07:21,480 --> 01:07:25,280
Speaker 1: the game. You know, there's certain times when the offensive

1418
01:07:25,280 --> 01:07:28,640
Speaker 1: coordinate takes over where you go, Wow, what a call

1419
01:07:28,720 --> 01:07:32,160
Speaker 1: by that offensive coordinator. And I think Dabel has had

1420
01:07:32,200 --> 01:07:34,760
Speaker 1: a problem with that. And you know who we saw that.

1421
01:07:35,000 --> 01:07:37,120
Speaker 1: You know who we saw that from guys. We saw

1422
01:07:37,120 --> 01:07:39,880
Speaker 1: it from Greg Roman while he was here. Greg had

1423
01:07:39,880 --> 01:07:42,720
Speaker 1: a wonderful playbook. Oh my goodness, so many plays and

1424
01:07:42,800 --> 01:07:45,520
Speaker 1: the runs were terrific. But he didn't have a knack

1425
01:07:45,880 --> 01:07:48,840
Speaker 1: for calling the game. And that's what separates the guys

1426
01:07:48,920 --> 01:07:53,240
Speaker 1: like Sean Payton and Doug Peterson. Yesterday, that run of

1427
01:07:53,280 --> 01:07:56,480
Speaker 1: sixty five yards, that was the right play at the

1428
01:07:56,600 --> 01:08:00,080
Speaker 1: right time, you know what I mean. And there on

1429
01:08:00,200 --> 01:08:02,880
Speaker 1: that sixty five yard run, that was an amazing play call,

1430
01:08:03,640 --> 01:08:06,720
Speaker 1: perfectly well executed, like nothing the Eagles had done before,

1431
01:08:06,840 --> 01:08:08,840
Speaker 1: never been seen by the Bills, obviously on tape. But

1432
01:08:09,000 --> 01:08:11,240
Speaker 1: I am going to disagree. Look, as I mentioned, when

1433
01:08:11,320 --> 01:08:13,800
Speaker 1: Eric was here in the formative offense and the win

1434
01:08:13,840 --> 01:08:16,600
Speaker 1: over Tennessee, that was critical and that was that was

1435
01:08:16,720 --> 01:08:20,320
Speaker 1: tremendous play calling by Brian Dable. And there were instances

1436
01:08:20,360 --> 01:08:22,800
Speaker 1: in the Jets game, in the Giants game where I

1437
01:08:22,840 --> 01:08:24,880
Speaker 1: thought he was on top of it. I don't think

1438
01:08:24,880 --> 01:08:27,200
Speaker 1: he lacks a knack for calling the right play at

1439
01:08:27,200 --> 01:08:30,080
Speaker 1: the right time. Didn't work out yesterday. He'll take his

1440
01:08:30,120 --> 01:08:32,080
Speaker 1: share of that as well the players, I'm sure in

1441
01:08:32,120 --> 01:08:34,479
Speaker 1: the other coaches, but no, I think overall he's a

1442
01:08:34,520 --> 01:08:36,920
Speaker 1: pretty good play caller, and I don't think that. I

1443
01:08:36,960 --> 01:08:40,840
Speaker 1: don't think No, there's no amount of play calling expertise

1444
01:08:41,000 --> 01:08:43,080
Speaker 1: from yesterday's game that would have changed the outcome of

1445
01:08:43,120 --> 01:08:45,759
Speaker 1: that game. I don't think you. I would be hard pressed.

1446
01:08:46,120 --> 01:08:49,479
Speaker 1: Here's the thing, too, And I know it's easy for

1447
01:08:49,560 --> 01:08:52,800
Speaker 1: us to sit here and look at Andy Reid and

1448
01:08:52,880 --> 01:08:57,240
Speaker 1: Sean Payton and Sean McVeagh and all these other guys

1449
01:08:57,240 --> 01:08:59,680
Speaker 1: you see calling plays around the National Football like Frank Right,

1450
01:09:00,000 --> 01:09:03,599
Speaker 1: and yeah, there are some guys like that who But listen,

1451
01:09:04,800 --> 01:09:10,000
Speaker 1: you can't even transfer Sean mc Sean Payton, or Sean

1452
01:09:10,080 --> 01:09:12,519
Speaker 1: McVeagh or Frank Right. You can't transfer their offensive play

1453
01:09:12,520 --> 01:09:15,920
Speaker 1: calling into this offense because they got different players down there.

1454
01:09:15,960 --> 01:09:18,040
Speaker 1: They got different strengths and weaknesses down there. They call

1455
01:09:18,120 --> 01:09:20,360
Speaker 1: the plays in their offense differently than they would for

1456
01:09:20,360 --> 01:09:22,639
Speaker 1: this offense because they have different players and different talented

1457
01:09:22,640 --> 01:09:28,439
Speaker 1: players here. You know, it's just an offensive coordinator. There's

1458
01:09:28,520 --> 01:09:33,000
Speaker 1: not a rule book for calling plays in the NFL.

1459
01:09:33,640 --> 01:09:36,960
Speaker 1: It is a our talent against your talent on this

1460
01:09:37,040 --> 01:09:40,760
Speaker 1: given day, in this given matchup, with these with this

1461
01:09:40,800 --> 01:09:43,519
Speaker 1: playbook and this quarterback and these running backs against your

1462
01:09:43,840 --> 01:09:46,439
Speaker 1: defense as nicked up as it was for Philly yesterday,

1463
01:09:46,880 --> 01:09:49,160
Speaker 1: in the situation we think we can win with and

1464
01:09:49,240 --> 01:09:50,840
Speaker 1: all of a sudden we can't. You know, we got

1465
01:09:50,840 --> 01:09:53,400
Speaker 1: to change things on the fly. All this it's an

1466
01:09:53,560 --> 01:09:56,479
Speaker 1: art form that is that is ever changing week to week.

1467
01:09:57,120 --> 01:09:59,120
Speaker 1: So you can't even it's hard for me to even say,

1468
01:09:59,200 --> 01:10:01,400
Speaker 1: like Gregor, he brought Greg Roman up when he was listen,

1469
01:10:01,439 --> 01:10:06,679
Speaker 1: Greg Roman had Tyrod Taylor as a quarterback. You're telling

1470
01:10:06,720 --> 01:10:09,920
Speaker 1: me he can. That's a play caller that you know.

1471
01:10:10,040 --> 01:10:12,479
Speaker 1: I mean, you can't even think about calling the same

1472
01:10:12,560 --> 01:10:15,120
Speaker 1: kind of plays for those guys. I mean, that's what

1473
01:10:15,200 --> 01:10:18,320
Speaker 1: you're talking about. You can't call the same play a

1474
01:10:18,400 --> 01:10:20,840
Speaker 1: game that you do for Tyrod Taylors you do for

1475
01:10:21,240 --> 01:10:24,719
Speaker 1: Josh Allen. You don't call Tom Brady plays for Josh Allen.

1476
01:10:24,880 --> 01:10:29,599
Speaker 1: You don't call Jake Kobe Brissette plays for You called

1477
01:10:29,680 --> 01:10:32,479
Speaker 1: Josh Allen plays for Josh Allen. You know, you call

1478
01:10:32,520 --> 01:10:34,800
Speaker 1: the plays he's comfortable with. You call the plays that

1479
01:10:34,840 --> 01:10:37,600
Speaker 1: he's going to be successful with. So you know, and

1480
01:10:37,720 --> 01:10:41,200
Speaker 1: whenever it doesn't work, you always blame the guy that

1481
01:10:41,320 --> 01:10:44,280
Speaker 1: draws the plays up. Why don't they you know, people

1482
01:10:44,280 --> 01:10:48,760
Speaker 1: are so hesitant, saying, well, listen, these plays are does

1483
01:10:48,880 --> 01:10:51,360
Speaker 1: every single play that every it was ever called was

1484
01:10:51,400 --> 01:10:53,880
Speaker 1: designed to work? Yeah, I'd be interesstanding if we ever

1485
01:10:53,920 --> 01:10:55,679
Speaker 1: get Brian Damel on the show again, and we promise

1486
01:10:55,800 --> 01:10:58,080
Speaker 1: we won't ask about his favorite buffalo restaurant again, but

1487
01:10:58,080 --> 01:11:00,559
Speaker 1: if we ever get on the show, be interested to

1488
01:11:00,600 --> 01:11:03,559
Speaker 1: hear his assessment of what percentage of your job is

1489
01:11:03,600 --> 01:11:06,880
Speaker 1: play calling because it's not the main part of it.

1490
01:11:06,920 --> 01:11:09,280
Speaker 1: I don't think I think it's overall design of the offense.

1491
01:11:09,360 --> 01:11:12,720
Speaker 1: I think it's practicing the schemes and techniques you want

1492
01:11:12,760 --> 01:11:16,760
Speaker 1: your offense to use. I think it's actiativity and coming

1493
01:11:16,840 --> 01:11:19,080
Speaker 1: up with stuff. And he's done it. But play calling

1494
01:11:19,240 --> 01:11:21,559
Speaker 1: is Edric pointed out. Edrich is talking about the sequence

1495
01:11:21,600 --> 01:11:24,439
Speaker 1: of plays and when to call this play. Yeah, I'd

1496
01:11:24,439 --> 01:11:27,160
Speaker 1: be interested in here when a real NFL offensive coordinator

1497
01:11:27,240 --> 01:11:29,519
Speaker 1: day ball in this in this case, said well, you know,

1498
01:11:29,560 --> 01:11:31,880
Speaker 1: what's that twenty percent of my job? That's fifteen percent.

1499
01:11:31,920 --> 01:11:34,120
Speaker 1: I don't think it's as big an issue, maybe as

1500
01:11:34,400 --> 01:11:36,519
Speaker 1: many people do, Ederic, That's what I'm saying. I think

1501
01:11:36,520 --> 01:11:39,280
Speaker 1: there's much more that goes into being an NFL offensive

1502
01:11:39,320 --> 01:11:41,920
Speaker 1: coordinator than sitting down with a playbook and saying, okay,

1503
01:11:41,960 --> 01:11:43,519
Speaker 1: now this one, now this one, now this one. I

1504
01:11:43,560 --> 01:11:45,320
Speaker 1: just think there's more to a lot more to it.

1505
01:11:45,400 --> 01:11:48,519
Speaker 1: I don't think there's a given recipe either. For and

1506
01:11:48,560 --> 01:11:52,320
Speaker 1: I said this earlier, some people believe that the guy's

1507
01:11:52,320 --> 01:11:56,120
Speaker 1: got this list and he just like randomly picks a

1508
01:11:56,240 --> 01:11:59,880
Speaker 1: play to run. I mean, he's play this. They have

1509
01:12:00,120 --> 01:12:02,280
Speaker 1: lists for every down and distance, where they are on

1510
01:12:02,320 --> 01:12:05,479
Speaker 1: the field, which direction they're going, what personnel cat you know,

1511
01:12:05,760 --> 01:12:08,400
Speaker 1: groupings they want, what matchup they want to get, what

1512
01:12:08,520 --> 01:12:10,640
Speaker 1: has happened up to that point, and what's they they

1513
01:12:10,720 --> 01:12:13,639
Speaker 1: what they're trying to set up to get down the line.

1514
01:12:14,000 --> 01:12:17,720
Speaker 1: So there's all these fab these uh yeah, it's all

1515
01:12:18,080 --> 01:12:21,600
Speaker 1: yeah exactly. It's not gut feeling unless you get it

1516
01:12:21,680 --> 01:12:23,320
Speaker 1: in there where the quarterback comes over, looks in the

1517
01:12:23,320 --> 01:12:24,559
Speaker 1: eye and says, hey, I like this play in this.

1518
01:12:24,920 --> 01:12:26,760
Speaker 1: Then then it's a gut feeling too. Then it's like

1519
01:12:26,840 --> 01:12:29,759
Speaker 1: not this time next, you know what I'm saying, or say, okay,

1520
01:12:29,800 --> 01:12:31,920
Speaker 1: go you know, it's that kind of thing. It's an

1521
01:12:32,000 --> 01:12:35,000
Speaker 1: art It is an art form. And if you don't

1522
01:12:35,080 --> 01:12:37,400
Speaker 1: like the picture that nobody liked the picture that Brian

1523
01:12:37,479 --> 01:12:40,040
Speaker 1: day Ball painted yesterday. I mean, they couldn't get it done,

1524
01:12:40,439 --> 01:12:42,040
Speaker 1: but man, oh man, just say that they go in

1525
01:12:42,080 --> 01:12:44,360
Speaker 1: there and they all of a sudden, He goes from

1526
01:12:46,080 --> 01:12:48,519
Speaker 1: we were all loving jumping up and down the first

1527
01:12:48,560 --> 01:12:50,080
Speaker 1: three or four weeks of this season, and all of

1528
01:12:50,120 --> 01:12:52,080
Speaker 1: a sudden, they have a bad game against a good defense,

1529
01:12:52,080 --> 01:12:56,160
Speaker 1: and everybody's like overreaction. Hey, Edrich made one other point,

1530
01:12:56,360 --> 01:12:59,360
Speaker 1: thanks for your calling, Edric about the Eagles walked away

1531
01:12:59,400 --> 01:13:02,479
Speaker 1: yesterday saying we beat a good Buffalo team. I don't

1532
01:13:02,479 --> 01:13:04,200
Speaker 1: know if they all did. There was a lot of

1533
01:13:04,240 --> 01:13:06,679
Speaker 1: chippiness in that game yesterday, and there was a quote

1534
01:13:07,000 --> 01:13:10,160
Speaker 1: from Eagles running back Jordan Howard after the game which

1535
01:13:10,240 --> 01:13:13,000
Speaker 1: kind of got attention of a lot of us. Jordan Howard,

1536
01:13:13,120 --> 01:13:15,120
Speaker 1: in an excellent game. After the game said we were

1537
01:13:15,160 --> 01:13:17,320
Speaker 1: able to wear the defense down. You could tell at

1538
01:13:17,320 --> 01:13:18,760
Speaker 1: the end of the game they really didn't want to

1539
01:13:18,760 --> 01:13:22,439
Speaker 1: tackle us. Talking about the Bills. Okay, he earned the

1540
01:13:22,520 --> 01:13:24,800
Speaker 1: right to say that, and there's some truth to that too.

1541
01:13:24,880 --> 01:13:27,160
Speaker 1: I think as the game went on, the Buffalo defense

1542
01:13:27,200 --> 01:13:28,600
Speaker 1: spent a lot of time on the field and was

1543
01:13:28,640 --> 01:13:31,439
Speaker 1: worn down. They didn't want to tackle us. I don't

1544
01:13:31,439 --> 01:13:33,599
Speaker 1: know if the gut inside it when it got inside

1545
01:13:33,600 --> 01:13:35,719
Speaker 1: of four minutes left in the fourth quarter, five minutes

1546
01:13:35,760 --> 01:13:39,840
Speaker 1: left in the fourth quarter or down eighteen points, and

1547
01:13:39,880 --> 01:13:41,639
Speaker 1: the and the Eagles just wanted to try and stay

1548
01:13:41,680 --> 01:13:43,840
Speaker 1: on the field. That's you know, that's that's kind of

1549
01:13:43,840 --> 01:13:46,160
Speaker 1: the ad. And even they weren't running as hard either,

1550
01:13:46,240 --> 01:13:49,360
Speaker 1: let me tell you so, right, Um, I just yeah,

1551
01:13:49,479 --> 01:13:51,400
Speaker 1: I don't know that they were throwing bouquets at Buffalo.

1552
01:13:51,439 --> 01:13:53,760
Speaker 1: There was a lot of chippiness there was. Eric brought

1553
01:13:53,760 --> 01:13:56,720
Speaker 1: it out on the radio yesterday. There was a late

1554
01:13:56,800 --> 01:14:01,679
Speaker 1: hit on Josh Allen from Malcolm Butler, the Eagles safety.

1555
01:14:01,760 --> 01:14:03,720
Speaker 1: They call a penalty, They call a penalty, and then

1556
01:14:03,840 --> 01:14:07,280
Speaker 1: later when the Bills scored extra point. Uh Feliciano John

1557
01:14:07,280 --> 01:14:10,360
Speaker 1: Feliciano found himself with Malcolm Butler and he took care

1558
01:14:10,360 --> 01:14:11,760
Speaker 1: of him. He kind of drilled him in the back

1559
01:14:11,880 --> 01:14:13,640
Speaker 1: a couple of times, got the flagged for it. They

1560
01:14:13,640 --> 01:14:16,160
Speaker 1: called a penalty on that too. Didn't matter. The kickoff

1561
01:14:16,160 --> 01:14:18,519
Speaker 1: from the twenty yard nine after the fifteen year penalty

1562
01:14:18,680 --> 01:14:20,519
Speaker 1: still went in the end zone. But there was a

1563
01:14:20,520 --> 01:14:22,439
Speaker 1: lot going on there. There's a lot of bad feelings

1564
01:14:22,479 --> 01:14:25,600
Speaker 1: going back and forth. And it's interesting too, because you know,

1565
01:14:25,680 --> 01:14:30,679
Speaker 1: the game like like this, the Bill's got to be ready.

1566
01:14:30,680 --> 01:14:32,760
Speaker 1: When when you get beat in your own building by

1567
01:14:32,760 --> 01:14:34,880
Speaker 1: eighteen points and you're five and one and all that,

1568
01:14:34,960 --> 01:14:37,520
Speaker 1: you're gonna get a lot of criticism. And it's pretty predictable.

1569
01:14:38,560 --> 01:14:41,200
Speaker 1: The Bills haven't played anybody. Every time they played a

1570
01:14:41,200 --> 01:14:46,240
Speaker 1: good team, they're gonna lose. Um the you know, they

1571
01:14:46,360 --> 01:14:49,840
Speaker 1: got out coached, they got out played. It was like

1572
01:14:49,880 --> 01:14:53,519
Speaker 1: a home game for the Philadelphia Eagles. There was all

1573
01:14:53,560 --> 01:14:55,479
Speaker 1: of this stuff going on, and the Bill, you know,

1574
01:14:55,520 --> 01:15:00,320
Speaker 1: they got exposed. Uh. You know, everybody gets criticized, from

1575
01:15:00,360 --> 01:15:03,839
Speaker 1: the coaching staff, the players, even you know, the equipment guys,

1576
01:15:03,920 --> 01:15:09,760
Speaker 1: the medical staff, the concession workers, you know, the parking attendance, everybody.

1577
01:15:10,520 --> 01:15:12,479
Speaker 1: You know that that was you know, on the field

1578
01:15:12,520 --> 01:15:15,960
Speaker 1: or in the organization. Lasterday stunk. And that's the kind

1579
01:15:16,000 --> 01:15:18,280
Speaker 1: of criticism you're gonna get. Particularly, and you can bet

1580
01:15:18,320 --> 01:15:20,719
Speaker 1: two the Bills that go way back under the radar.

1581
01:15:20,800 --> 01:15:23,240
Speaker 1: Now at five and two with the number five position

1582
01:15:23,320 --> 01:15:25,439
Speaker 1: in the in the AFC, they're gonna go right back

1583
01:15:25,479 --> 01:15:27,880
Speaker 1: under the radar. And people are gonna say, you know,

1584
01:15:27,920 --> 01:15:30,479
Speaker 1: they're just not that good because of the way they

1585
01:15:30,479 --> 01:15:34,879
Speaker 1: played yesterday. It's not all true they played bad yesterday.

1586
01:15:35,160 --> 01:15:37,040
Speaker 1: They're not a bad football team. I went on, I

1587
01:15:37,080 --> 01:15:40,200
Speaker 1: said the interd and people were reminded me of as

1588
01:15:40,240 --> 01:15:43,280
Speaker 1: people do tend to do on Twitter. But well, you

1589
01:15:43,280 --> 01:15:45,040
Speaker 1: said that. I remember I said, I thought they got

1590
01:15:45,040 --> 01:15:47,760
Speaker 1: the talent to make the run. They're gonna they're getting there,

1591
01:15:48,200 --> 01:15:50,439
Speaker 1: They're gonna get into playoffs, and I got that they can.

1592
01:15:50,600 --> 01:15:52,439
Speaker 1: They're gonna have the talent to beat anybody they're gonna

1593
01:15:52,439 --> 01:15:55,439
Speaker 1: face in the tournament. Um, and you know, people are

1594
01:15:55,439 --> 01:15:56,880
Speaker 1: throwing that back in my face. Now they got a

1595
01:15:57,120 --> 01:15:59,200
Speaker 1: got beat by the love Eagles. I'm like, well, that's

1596
01:15:59,200 --> 01:16:00,880
Speaker 1: the same guy. So I still think they got the

1597
01:16:00,880 --> 01:16:03,720
Speaker 1: same guys. So yeah, I'm I'm sticking sticking with it.

1598
01:16:03,760 --> 01:16:06,120
Speaker 1: I'm sticking with it, and I'm sticking with my wind

1599
01:16:06,120 --> 01:16:10,080
Speaker 1: total too. This is it's kind of where I had them. Yeah,

1600
01:16:10,840 --> 01:16:12,360
Speaker 1: they need to win this next week to stay on

1601
01:16:12,439 --> 01:16:17,040
Speaker 1: my schedule for eleven plus. Do you don't have the plus?

1602
01:16:17,080 --> 01:16:19,000
Speaker 1: I don't know how I can. All right, we're breaking,

1603

Speaker 1: we're coming back. No, you can't. How many wins, how many?

1604
01:16:22,520 --> 01:16:24,559

1606
01:16:27,760 --> 01:16:31,400
Speaker 1: I mean, is that? I think I've done that, But

1607
01:16:31,400 --> 01:16:33,679
Speaker 1: I think I got chastise for it too. I'm getting

1608
01:16:33,760 --> 01:16:35,880
Speaker 1: right now, right, coming back with more One Bills Live,

1609
01:16:35,960 --> 01:16:38,559
Speaker 1: presented by Collie to Help from the Seneca Studio. This

1610
01:16:38,600 --> 01:16:53,400
Speaker 1: is Buffalo Bills Radio. We're motoring through the day here

1611
01:16:53,479 --> 01:16:55,960
Speaker 1: John Murphy and Steve Tansker. It is One Bills Live.

1612
01:16:56,800 --> 01:16:58,760
Speaker 1: We're coming to you from our Seneca studio in r

1613
01:16:58,840 --> 01:17:02,040
Speaker 1: Park show fieldsferent today doesn't it's a loss, it's a

1614
01:17:02,080 --> 01:17:05,719
Speaker 1: little different. So I'm like, after the New England lost

1615
01:17:05,720 --> 01:17:07,679
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago, who was that three weeks ago?

1616
01:17:08,160 --> 01:17:10,960
Speaker 1: That felt different because there was there were positives. Let's

1617
01:17:10,960 --> 01:17:13,160
Speaker 1: face it, the New England loss, right, look to look

1618
01:17:13,200 --> 01:17:14,960
Speaker 1: what they did to Brady, Look how they helped the

1619
01:17:14,960 --> 01:17:18,639
Speaker 1: Patriots sixteen points um. Those positives are not as apparent

1620
01:17:18,720 --> 01:17:20,599
Speaker 1: today as they were after the New England games. Don't

1621
01:17:20,640 --> 01:17:24,639
Speaker 1: forget yes, And I'm thinking back to my own playing

1622
01:17:24,720 --> 01:17:27,280
Speaker 1: days here in Buffalo and other places, and as a

1623
01:17:27,479 --> 01:17:30,280
Speaker 1: college players, as a Houston Oiler and all that stuff

1624
01:17:30,320 --> 01:17:33,800
Speaker 1: back in the day. And the years subsequent to that.

1625
01:17:35,160 --> 01:17:38,200
Speaker 1: These days happen every season to every team. Yeah, and

1626
01:17:38,400 --> 01:17:41,240
Speaker 1: certainly the Niners and the Patriots sitting there undefeated. They

1627
01:17:41,240 --> 01:17:43,120
Speaker 1: haven't gone through, but they've been through. You go through

1628
01:17:43,200 --> 01:17:48,360
Speaker 1: losses and they're never good, and you know, sometimes they're

1629
01:17:48,439 --> 01:17:50,840
Speaker 1: they're easier to you know, to take than other times.

1630
01:17:50,840 --> 01:17:52,639
Speaker 1: And these are this a bad loss, it's a hard

1631
01:17:52,680 --> 01:17:54,760
Speaker 1: loss to take, but it doesn't mean they're you know,

1632
01:17:54,800 --> 01:17:56,760
Speaker 1: that the bottom has fallen out of the season or that.

1633
01:17:56,960 --> 01:17:59,640
Speaker 1: And I don't believe this either. I mean, even in

1634
01:17:59,680 --> 01:18:01,880
Speaker 1: the last time they were five and one or whenever

1635
01:18:01,920 --> 01:18:04,080
Speaker 1: that was, and oh eight or whenever it was, I

1636
01:18:04,160 --> 01:18:07,519
Speaker 1: never really in early felt as confident going forward as

1637
01:18:07,520 --> 01:18:11,600
Speaker 1: I do with this club. Really I do. I'm not

1638
01:18:11,680 --> 01:18:14,439
Speaker 1: bailing out on any of this. So I am totally

1639
01:18:14,479 --> 01:18:17,599
Speaker 1: on board with everything. I've that this I've hoped for,

1640
01:18:17,920 --> 01:18:21,639
Speaker 1: this particular rendition of the Buffalo Bills. I think everything's

1641
01:18:21,680 --> 01:18:24,080
Speaker 1: in front of them. I think there's plenty of room

1642
01:18:24,120 --> 01:18:25,920
Speaker 1: for improvement here in the second half of the season

1643
01:18:25,920 --> 01:18:28,880
Speaker 1: that's coming up. They've got the schedule laid out for

1644
01:18:28,960 --> 01:18:31,360
Speaker 1: him is as good as you could possibly hope for.

1645
01:18:32,080 --> 01:18:37,360
Speaker 1: And they've got guys of the right mind frame. I

1646
01:18:37,400 --> 01:18:39,360
Speaker 1: got a lot of faith in this coaching staff as well,

1647
01:18:39,400 --> 01:18:43,960
Speaker 1: including Brian day Ball, who's been taking arrows today, you know,

1648
01:18:44,080 --> 01:18:47,559
Speaker 1: slings and arrows today. I like where they're at. And

1649
01:18:47,640 --> 01:18:49,720
Speaker 1: this is a game I knew when the schedule came

1650
01:18:49,720 --> 01:18:50,920
Speaker 1: out this was a team that was going to be

1651
01:18:51,000 --> 01:18:56,080
Speaker 1: difficult to beat. But the fact that they you know,

1652
01:18:56,520 --> 01:18:59,280
Speaker 1: when I look at that game, I still think that

1653
01:18:59,360 --> 01:19:02,040
Speaker 1: was a good team, the Philadelphia Eagles, And if the

1654
01:19:02,040 --> 01:19:03,920
Speaker 1: Bills wouldn't have made any mistakes, it still would have

1655
01:19:03,920 --> 01:19:05,840
Speaker 1: been a close game. You know what I'm saying. It's

1656
01:19:05,880 --> 01:19:08,800
Speaker 1: one of those games where it's like, wow, we would Yeah,

1657
01:19:08,840 --> 01:19:10,760
Speaker 1: we would have had to really play well to beat

1658
01:19:10,800 --> 01:19:13,479
Speaker 1: those guys yesterday. And I credit this and I know

1659
01:19:13,520 --> 01:19:15,040
Speaker 1: that I've seen it. I've been a part of it.

1660
01:19:15,040 --> 01:19:17,000
Speaker 1: I've been a victim of it, and I've been a

1661
01:19:17,320 --> 01:19:21,439
Speaker 1: beneficiary of it. One team shows up with a we're

1662
01:19:21,479 --> 01:19:28,080
Speaker 1: not gonna lose attitude because they've been embarrassed, they've been criticized,

1663
01:19:28,439 --> 01:19:30,400
Speaker 1: and they get it in their mind it was unfair,

1664
01:19:31,040 --> 01:19:34,400
Speaker 1: and that really fuels a fire that gives them some

1665
01:19:34,439 --> 01:19:36,400
Speaker 1: extra push and pushes them over, gives them an extra

1666
01:19:36,520 --> 01:19:38,840
Speaker 1: touchdown for the game or gives them an extra something

1667
01:19:38,880 --> 01:19:41,080
Speaker 1: for the game and they end up winning like they did.

1668
01:19:41,160 --> 01:19:42,920
Speaker 1: I've been a part of that on that good side,

1669
01:19:42,960 --> 01:19:44,639
Speaker 1: and I've been a victim of it on the wrong

1670
01:19:44,680 --> 01:19:47,400
Speaker 1: side as well. Call here from Ray and Henry Na,

1671
01:19:47,439 --> 01:19:50,559
Speaker 1: New York. Hello, Ray, Welcome to the show. Hey guys,

1672
01:19:50,560 --> 01:19:54,280
Speaker 1: how's it going? Okay? Good? I just wanted to talk

1673
01:19:54,320 --> 01:19:57,880
Speaker 1: about the lack of playmakers on this team or their

1674
01:19:58,240 --> 01:20:02,920
Speaker 1: time on the field, because Mackenzie, I don't think he

1675
01:20:02,960 --> 01:20:05,320
Speaker 1: got any time yesterday. Every time I've seen this guy

1676
01:20:05,360 --> 01:20:09,559
Speaker 1: play in the pass, he's done positive thing. He was inactive.

1677
01:20:09,560 --> 01:20:11,800
Speaker 1: So no, he didn't. He wasn't even eligible to play yesterday,

1678
01:20:11,920 --> 01:20:16,600
Speaker 1: ruled inactive before kickoff. Okay, that's that's my problem. Playmaker,

1679
01:20:17,080 --> 01:20:20,120
Speaker 1: he broke open the Tennessee game. Every time I've seen

1680
01:20:20,160 --> 01:20:24,120
Speaker 1: this guy play, he does positive things. Yeah, I will

1681
01:20:24,160 --> 01:20:25,920
Speaker 1: say this. I hear what you're saying, Ray, and you

1682
01:20:26,000 --> 01:20:28,040
Speaker 1: may have a point there. There are other people who

1683
01:20:28,040 --> 01:20:30,080
Speaker 1: would say, well, we need to get Robert Foster in

1684
01:20:30,080 --> 01:20:33,040
Speaker 1: the game and have Robert Foster as playmaking potential. So

1685
01:20:33,080 --> 01:20:36,280
Speaker 1: he was active yesterday after what four or five games

1686
01:20:36,280 --> 01:20:39,120
Speaker 1: on the inactive list, Foster unable to make a play.

1687
01:20:39,200 --> 01:20:41,200
Speaker 1: Yesterday he got close to one a deep pass, So

1688
01:20:42,080 --> 01:20:45,400
Speaker 1: I mean, those are the decisions they make. I don't

1689
01:20:45,400 --> 01:20:48,360
Speaker 1: know that McKenzie is a difference maker. Can I say

1690
01:20:48,360 --> 01:20:50,280
Speaker 1: that with I'm not insulting him, but does he make

1691
01:20:50,320 --> 01:20:52,240
Speaker 1: a difference in that game Steve yesterday? I don't know

1692
01:20:52,280 --> 01:20:53,559
Speaker 1: that he does. Oh, I don't know that he does.

1693
01:20:53,880 --> 01:20:55,599
Speaker 1: I don't know if anybody was going to really make

1694
01:20:55,680 --> 01:21:00,720
Speaker 1: that much difference. But you know, yeah, Foster was on

1695
01:21:00,760 --> 01:21:03,639
Speaker 1: the field for a little while, not a whole bunch.

1696
01:21:04,680 --> 01:21:08,120
Speaker 1: Even Lorenzo Alexander was only got eleven percent of the

1697
01:21:08,160 --> 01:21:12,519
Speaker 1: defensive snaps. So there was a lot of a lot

1698
01:21:12,520 --> 01:21:14,759
Speaker 1: of differences about that game. And we've seen it throughout

1699
01:21:14,760 --> 01:21:19,400
Speaker 1: the the throughout the season, different guys get activated at

1700
01:21:19,400 --> 01:21:22,719
Speaker 1: different times, and you know, whether we sometimes don't find

1701
01:21:22,720 --> 01:21:25,560
Speaker 1: out why we have to wait for the wait for

1702
01:21:25,600 --> 01:21:27,559
Speaker 1: the game to take place, and you see a guy

1703
01:21:27,600 --> 01:21:29,320
Speaker 1: have a really good game one week and then be

1704
01:21:29,400 --> 01:21:32,360
Speaker 1: inactive or out of the game plan the next week.

1705
01:21:32,400 --> 01:21:34,360
Speaker 1: That you just have to know that they're doing their

1706
01:21:34,360 --> 01:21:36,479
Speaker 1: research and watching film and they know that they are

1707
01:21:36,600 --> 01:21:40,719
Speaker 1: better off better served using a different guy. On that week.

1708
01:21:40,800 --> 01:21:46,120
Speaker 1: So that's how Duke Johnson got on the field. So yeah,

1709
01:21:46,160 --> 01:21:48,600
Speaker 1: I get it. We all have our favorites like to

1710
01:21:48,600 --> 01:21:51,400
Speaker 1: see play and sometimes it's like, you know, why is that?

1711
01:21:52,160 --> 01:21:54,680
Speaker 1: Because let's face it, Isaiah McKenzie is a guy that

1712
01:21:54,720 --> 01:21:57,800
Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Eagles didn't have to defend yesterday, and we've

1713
01:21:57,800 --> 01:22:02,800
Speaker 1: all seen how defenses have struggled with him, so it's like, well, gosh,

1714
01:22:02,840 --> 01:22:04,439
Speaker 1: maybe he would have helped him, you know what, Maybe

1715
01:22:04,479 --> 01:22:06,360
Speaker 1: he would have. But going into it, you gotta think.

1716
01:22:06,400 --> 01:22:08,880
Speaker 1: You gotta go with what your instincts and your research

1717
01:22:08,920 --> 01:22:11,200
Speaker 1: tells you, and that's what the Bills did. So call

1718
01:22:11,280 --> 01:22:13,880
Speaker 1: here from Tim and depu Hell about Tim, Welcome to

1719
01:22:13,920 --> 01:22:17,559
Speaker 1: the show. How you doing John? Hey, listen, I know

1720
01:22:17,640 --> 01:22:20,680
Speaker 1: that you and Steve are both enamored with this defense

1721
01:22:21,240 --> 01:22:23,920
Speaker 1: and I've been saying it right along. We have no

1722
01:22:24,040 --> 01:22:28,479
Speaker 1: pass rush whatsoever. And once again Edmunds showed in the

1723
01:22:28,520 --> 01:22:31,519
Speaker 1: middle that he cannot come off the blocks. Yea three

1724
01:22:31,560 --> 01:22:35,240
Speaker 1: sack yesterday, didn't they? You know what this is, John,

1725
01:22:35,640 --> 01:22:39,080
Speaker 1: That defense was horrendous yesterday all the way around. And

1726
01:22:39,920 --> 01:22:43,960
Speaker 1: Edmund's play once again in the middle where you watch

1727
01:22:44,080 --> 01:22:48,040
Speaker 1: him time and time again, gets sealed off, and once

1728
01:22:48,040 --> 01:22:51,120
Speaker 1: he gets sealed off by a block, no effort to

1729
01:22:51,160 --> 01:22:55,719
Speaker 1: come off the block, and just quits. Ryan. I watched

1730
01:22:56,920 --> 01:23:01,400
Speaker 1: numerous plays yesterday where you just quit completely. Quite I

1731
01:23:01,439 --> 01:23:03,719
Speaker 1: didn't quit. He had nine tackles, second on the team

1732
01:23:04,000 --> 01:23:06,799
Speaker 1: with nine tackles, one of them a tackle for a loss.

1733
01:23:07,160 --> 01:23:10,200
Speaker 1: And I hear what you're saying, no pass rush. But again,

1734
01:23:10,240 --> 01:23:13,439
Speaker 1: the Bills they sat Carson Wentz three time. Were they

1735
01:23:13,479 --> 01:23:16,479
Speaker 1: horrible defensively? They sure were, But I think the two

1736
01:23:16,479 --> 01:23:18,880
Speaker 1: things you focused on are off the market a little bit.

1737
01:23:19,240 --> 01:23:22,160
Speaker 1: Another I questioned a couple of weeks ago. I questioned

1738
01:23:22,200 --> 01:23:25,479
Speaker 1: about Lee Smith. You know, he had a horrendous game

1739
01:23:25,520 --> 01:23:28,120
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago with five you know, PI penalties,

1740
01:23:28,560 --> 01:23:31,759
Speaker 1: and again yesterday he killed the drive yesterday with another

1741
01:23:31,840 --> 01:23:34,559
Speaker 1: penalty on top of that. And I'm thinking of why

1742
01:23:34,640 --> 01:23:40,679
Speaker 1: we got these young rookie uh tight ends that are playmakers.

1743
01:23:40,720 --> 01:23:45,080
Speaker 1: And I can't understand why Lee Smith, who seems to

1744
01:23:45,200 --> 01:23:50,320
Speaker 1: have an issue with simple penalties that are killing drives,

1745
01:23:50,640 --> 01:23:52,880
Speaker 1: why he's on the field. He's on the field the block.

1746
01:23:53,040 --> 01:23:55,760
Speaker 1: He's a really good blocker. Oh yeah, it's a great.

1747
01:23:56,560 --> 01:24:00,200
Speaker 1: He had a reception getting a home penalty or or

1748
01:24:00,640 --> 01:24:03,960
Speaker 1: a motion penalty or whatever. When you're on the field,

1749
01:24:04,720 --> 01:24:07,240
Speaker 1: all the blocking in the world isn't doing your team

1750
01:24:07,240 --> 01:24:10,639
Speaker 1: any good. So Tim, to summarize your call, the five

1751
01:24:10,680 --> 01:24:13,320
Speaker 1: and two Bills just stink from get to go, from

1752
01:24:13,320 --> 01:24:16,320
Speaker 1: start to finish. Right, And you've talked about defense. Even

1753
01:24:16,360 --> 01:24:18,200
Speaker 1: though they get three sacks, you say no pass wretch.

1754
01:24:18,520 --> 01:24:21,080
Speaker 1: Kareen Edmonds stood around like a spectator and quit. He

1755
01:24:21,080 --> 01:24:23,920
Speaker 1: did not quitty at nine tackles. Lee Smith was awfully

1756
01:24:23,960 --> 01:24:25,960
Speaker 1: had some tough penalties. I'll give you that, but he's

1757
01:24:26,000 --> 01:24:28,680
Speaker 1: on the field as a blocking tight end, so I

1758
01:24:28,680 --> 01:24:30,679
Speaker 1: don't know. And the penalties you're saying about Lee Smith

1759
01:24:30,680 --> 01:24:32,960
Speaker 1: that killed a drive, the drives that I remember we

1760
01:24:33,040 --> 01:24:35,639
Speaker 1: got those penalties on they ended up scoring the Cole

1761
01:24:35,720 --> 01:24:40,680
Speaker 1: Beasley touchdown. So I mean, I get it. You're disgusted

1762
01:24:40,720 --> 01:24:43,439
Speaker 1: and we liked we liked the Bills defense, and they've

1763
01:24:43,560 --> 01:24:45,840
Speaker 1: played bad yesterday and now you're throwing it in our

1764
01:24:45,880 --> 01:24:48,840
Speaker 1: face again. Okay, all right, Hey, one of the Bills

1765
01:24:48,880 --> 01:24:51,120
Speaker 1: all time defensive players was here. Yea City Steeve. You

1766
01:24:51,120 --> 01:24:54,680
Speaker 1: missed him. You never played with with Ted Washing, Oh

1767
01:24:54,720 --> 01:24:57,439
Speaker 1: I did, I would, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, Teddy

1768
01:24:57,520 --> 01:25:00,479
Speaker 1: Washington was here as part of the Legends. Letso was

1769
01:25:00,520 --> 01:25:02,760
Speaker 1: here as well. But Teddy Washington gave the Bills a

1770
01:25:02,800 --> 01:25:05,479
Speaker 1: little fire up speech on the field on the sideline

1771
01:25:05,520 --> 01:25:07,439
Speaker 1: just before kickoff yesterday. I hope you heard it here

1772
01:25:07,439 --> 01:25:14,920
Speaker 1: it is. I got one question, one question the twelve men.

1773
01:25:17,120 --> 01:25:22,360
Speaker 1: Who else would you rather be then right here, right now?

1774
01:25:27,240 --> 01:25:31,880
Speaker 1: And he dropped the mic. He drops the mic. He

1775
01:25:32,000 --> 01:25:34,439
Speaker 1: did great. Ledso just sort of stood back and let

1776
01:25:34,479 --> 01:25:36,759
Speaker 1: him go. That was great. You did play with Ted Washington.

1777
01:25:37,040 --> 01:25:39,840
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, said he was great with Maybe bring back

1778
01:25:39,840 --> 01:25:41,880
Speaker 1: to if they had won, I would agree, let's bring

1779
01:25:41,920 --> 01:25:44,680
Speaker 1: back Ted Washington every game, every roll for him. Well,

1780
01:25:44,680 --> 01:25:47,840
Speaker 1: you know, so I was you know, you know, a

1781
01:25:47,880 --> 01:25:49,760
Speaker 1: special teams player, and I was always you know, I've

1782
01:25:49,760 --> 01:25:51,840
Speaker 1: always been five nine, right. I just this is small.

1783
01:25:51,880 --> 01:25:54,200
Speaker 1: And all my buddies that were all six five right, okay,

1784
01:25:54,240 --> 01:25:56,439
Speaker 1: all my friends are six five and they're either six

1785
01:25:56,520 --> 01:25:58,840
Speaker 1: five three hundred, or they're six five two fifty or

1786
01:25:59,200 --> 01:26:01,400
Speaker 1: they're six five buck ninety and they can run right.

1787
01:26:01,439 --> 01:26:03,599
Speaker 1: All these got all my friends are all big dudes.

1788
01:26:03,840 --> 01:26:07,280
Speaker 1: And I hang around guys. I played thirteen years in

1789
01:26:07,320 --> 01:26:09,479
Speaker 1: the league. I went to the Pro Bowl. All the

1790
01:26:09,520 --> 01:26:12,320
Speaker 1: guys I worked with and hung out with were enormous guys,

1791
01:26:12,920 --> 01:26:16,519
Speaker 1: and you get immune to that, right, Um, you just

1792
01:26:16,640 --> 01:26:18,160
Speaker 1: take that for grant. In fact, when you go out

1793
01:26:18,160 --> 01:26:20,439
Speaker 1: into regular places, you see people who think they're kind

1794
01:26:20,479 --> 01:26:22,320
Speaker 1: of a larger guy. They're like, you know, you're not

1795
01:26:22,360 --> 01:26:25,000
Speaker 1: that big dude, right. So, but I'll tell you this.

1796
01:26:25,040 --> 01:26:29,840
Speaker 1: In my years and playing football, Um, every morning, when

1797
01:26:29,880 --> 01:26:32,559
Speaker 1: Ted Washington walked in the locker room, he's the only

1798
01:26:32,600 --> 01:26:35,360
Speaker 1: guy I ever remember saying. Every single day, I'd look

1799
01:26:35,360 --> 01:26:38,479
Speaker 1: at him and say, man, he is big. That guy

1800
01:26:39,000 --> 01:26:41,960
Speaker 1: is big. And he was. He was maybe, in my opinion,

1801
01:26:42,040 --> 01:26:45,479
Speaker 1: the greatest nose guard to ever suit up. He was

1802
01:26:45,600 --> 01:26:48,880
Speaker 1: an absolute mountain of a human being. And I remember

1803
01:26:48,920 --> 01:26:52,320
Speaker 1: offensive lineman. He came over from Denver, I think, or

1804
01:26:52,320 --> 01:26:58,200
Speaker 1: maybe forty nine ers over right, and yes and uh

1805
01:26:58,320 --> 01:27:00,840
Speaker 1: or maybe it was I don't know what. Whoever it was,

1806
01:27:01,200 --> 01:27:03,240
Speaker 1: Ted came over to us and we got in through

1807
01:27:03,280 --> 01:27:07,200
Speaker 1: training camp and stuff, and after about a week of practices, we're,

1808
01:27:07,320 --> 01:27:09,360
Speaker 1: you know, we've got our first night off or whatever,

1809
01:27:09,400 --> 01:27:11,680
Speaker 1: and over a beer or something, somebody talked to Kent

1810
01:27:11,800 --> 01:27:14,240
Speaker 1: holl and they said, Kent House, you know what's Ted

1811
01:27:14,280 --> 01:27:16,760
Speaker 1: Washington like, how you know he's a new player? Is

1812
01:27:16,760 --> 01:27:19,439
Speaker 1: he all right or what? And Kent looked at us,

1813
01:27:19,439 --> 01:27:23,040
Speaker 1: he said, listen, he snapped that ball. If Hugh get

1814
01:27:23,160 --> 01:27:27,160
Speaker 1: if he gets his hip set, he said, I don't

1815
01:27:27,160 --> 01:27:29,400
Speaker 1: care what you do or if it's a double team

1816
01:27:29,520 --> 01:27:33,720
Speaker 1: or he goes, you can't move him. You cannot move him.

1817
01:27:34,280 --> 01:27:36,519
Speaker 1: And it's true. I think there was a stretch in

1818
01:27:36,560 --> 01:27:40,240
Speaker 1: Ted's career every defense he ever played on or lined

1819
01:27:40,320 --> 01:27:42,439
Speaker 1: up for is the starting nose guard. They were a

1820
01:27:42,479 --> 01:27:45,080
Speaker 1: top five rushing defense in the NFL, no matter what

1821
01:27:45,200 --> 01:27:47,479
Speaker 1: team or what year of his career it was he

1822
01:27:47,640 --> 01:27:51,200
Speaker 1: played for. I think he got drafted number one overall

1823
01:27:51,640 --> 01:27:54,880
Speaker 1: in the top first round by the San Francisco forty

1824
01:27:54,960 --> 01:27:58,400
Speaker 1: nine ers. They played in Denver for Ted or for Wade,

1825
01:27:58,760 --> 01:28:02,040
Speaker 1: and came to Buffalo, played for Buffalo, played for New England,

1826
01:28:02,040 --> 01:28:07,080
Speaker 1: and played for Cleveland as well. And he was just absolutely,

1827
01:28:08,200 --> 01:28:13,840
Speaker 1: unbelievably enormous, and you just couldn't move him. Yeah, you

1828
01:28:13,880 --> 01:28:17,160
Speaker 1: just couldn't move the guy. And I think he's certainly

1829
01:28:17,200 --> 01:28:18,920
Speaker 1: one of the most dominant players of his age. And

1830
01:28:18,960 --> 01:28:21,320
Speaker 1: I'm glad that the Bills have embraced him and brought

1831
01:28:21,360 --> 01:28:23,800
Speaker 1: him back on a number of occasions as there alumni. Hey,

1832
01:28:23,880 --> 01:28:27,080
Speaker 1: Jordan Phillips, Scott, one of the talking about interior defensive lineman,

1833
01:28:27,160 --> 01:28:28,920
Speaker 1: got one of the Bills three sacks. He's got five

1834
01:28:29,000 --> 01:28:32,679
Speaker 1: this season. Jordan Phillips tied for an NFL leadership among

1835
01:28:32,800 --> 01:28:35,640
Speaker 1: interior defensive lineman with sacks. You know, he's tied with

1836
01:28:36,040 --> 01:28:39,240
Speaker 1: Aaron Madonald pretty good. I got three sacks yesterday. I

1837
01:28:39,280 --> 01:28:41,360
Speaker 1: don't think the pass fresh was non existent. We'll take

1838
01:28:41,400 --> 01:28:43,280
Speaker 1: a break, we'll come back and talk some more. Your

1839
01:28:43,320 --> 01:28:46,439
Speaker 1: biggest concern after the loss to the Eagles. What do

1840
01:28:46,479 --> 01:28:48,559
Speaker 1: you think? Give us a call, Steve and I coming back.

1841
01:28:48,600 --> 01:28:50,719
Speaker 1: One Bill's Live. Coming to you from the Seneca studio

1842
01:28:50,720 --> 01:28:53,320
Speaker 1: at One Bill's Drive. And this is Buffalo Bill's Radio,

1843
01:29:06,960 --> 01:29:09,599
Speaker 1: One Bills Live, John Murphy, Steve Tasker here until three.

1844
01:29:09,880 --> 01:29:12,559
Speaker 1: Chris Brown from Buffalo Bills dot Com joins us at

1845
01:29:12,680 --> 01:29:15,559
Speaker 1: two o'clock more to talk about yesterday's loss. We approached

1846
01:29:15,560 --> 01:29:17,800
Speaker 1: the midway point of the season. When the Bills play

1847
01:29:17,880 --> 01:29:20,840
Speaker 1: Washington the Sunday, they would have completed half their season.

1848
01:29:21,120 --> 01:29:23,160
Speaker 1: And I detect around the league. Steve that right now

1849
01:29:23,200 --> 01:29:25,840
Speaker 1: at mid season, you get you get a sense of

1850
01:29:25,880 --> 01:29:28,840
Speaker 1: who's not who's beginning to realize that maybe the season

1851
01:29:28,880 --> 01:29:31,320
Speaker 1: isn't the going the way we thought right. Teams that

1852
01:29:31,360 --> 01:29:35,880
Speaker 1: have you know, Dolphins, Jets obviously, but Denver Broncos less

1853
01:29:36,000 --> 01:29:38,920
Speaker 1: yesterday lost to the Colts fifteen thirteen. They gave up

1854
01:29:38,920 --> 01:29:42,320
Speaker 1: a lead and after the game, the Colts came back

1855
01:29:42,360 --> 01:29:44,400
Speaker 1: on an Adam Military fifty one year if field goal.

1856
01:29:44,760 --> 01:29:46,840
Speaker 1: It was the third loss of the season that the

1857
01:29:46,840 --> 01:29:49,559
Speaker 1: Broncos have had decided in the final thirty seconds, and

1858
01:29:49,680 --> 01:29:53,320
Speaker 1: after the game, first year Denver quarterback Joe Flacco went

1859
01:29:53,400 --> 01:29:55,479
Speaker 1: public with this frustration We're gonna play the sound Bay.

1860
01:29:55,520 --> 01:29:57,760
Speaker 1: But you know what I mean. I think Flacco looks

1861
01:29:57,760 --> 01:30:00,800
Speaker 1: at his team to win six losses and say, this

1862
01:30:00,840 --> 01:30:02,720
Speaker 1: isn't what I envisioned, this is this is not what

1863
01:30:02,760 --> 01:30:04,479
Speaker 1: I signed up for, right Zack. Don't you think you

1864
01:30:04,520 --> 01:30:07,240
Speaker 1: get to that at absolutely? And I think it's interesting too,

1865
01:30:07,280 --> 01:30:09,040
Speaker 1: because we had we played it just a minute ago

1866
01:30:09,080 --> 01:30:10,479
Speaker 1: in the in the control room, and everyone like you

1867
01:30:10,479 --> 01:30:13,559
Speaker 1: can't even remember remember Joe Flacco saying anything. He's not

1868
01:30:13,760 --> 01:30:15,320
Speaker 1: He's not one of those vocal guys. He's not one

1869
01:30:15,360 --> 01:30:17,080
Speaker 1: of those guys even when he won the MVP of

1870
01:30:17,080 --> 01:30:19,920
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl for the Ravens. Wasn't a guy that

1871
01:30:19,960 --> 01:30:22,120
Speaker 1: came out and was on commercials and talking. You don't

1872
01:30:22,160 --> 01:30:26,920
Speaker 1: hear him speak very much. But here's probably for the

1873
01:30:27,120 --> 01:30:29,240
Speaker 1: entirety of his career, even when he was MVP of

1874
01:30:29,240 --> 01:30:31,240
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, this is probably the sound bite that's

1875
01:30:31,280 --> 01:30:34,200
Speaker 1: going to travel with him for his as his legacy.

1876
01:30:34,360 --> 01:30:37,519
Speaker 1: So the Roccos had the ball, they were looking at

1877
01:30:37,560 --> 01:30:39,960
Speaker 1: third and five two minute warning. They went with three

1878
01:30:39,960 --> 01:30:42,320
Speaker 1: wideouts and then ran Philip Lindsay for no gain on

1879
01:30:42,439 --> 01:30:44,920
Speaker 1: third down. And this is what set off Joe Flacco postgame.

1880
01:30:44,960 --> 01:30:48,439
Speaker 1: Here's what he said. We're now a two and six

1881
01:30:48,479 --> 01:30:51,040
Speaker 1: football team and we're like afraid to go for it

1882
01:30:51,160 --> 01:30:53,400
Speaker 1: in a two minute drill, you know, like, who cares

1883
01:30:53,400 --> 01:30:54,600
Speaker 1: if you give the ball back to the guys with

1884
01:30:54,640 --> 01:30:56,559
Speaker 1: a minute forty seconds that they obviously got the field

1885
01:30:56,560 --> 01:31:00,720
Speaker 1: goal anyway, And once again, we're a two and six

1886
01:31:00,720 --> 01:31:03,120
Speaker 1: football team and it just feels like we're kind of

1887
01:31:03,120 --> 01:31:05,640
Speaker 1: afraid to lose a game. It's third and five at

1888
01:31:05,640 --> 01:31:09,439
Speaker 1: the end of the game. Um, you know, it's who

1889
01:31:09,520 --> 01:31:10,760
Speaker 1: cares if they have a time out there at the

1890
01:31:10,840 --> 01:31:12,880
Speaker 1: end or not. You know, getting in field goal range

1891
01:31:12,880 --> 01:31:15,640
Speaker 1: isn't that tough? You know, So you're just putting your

1892
01:31:15,640 --> 01:31:19,320
Speaker 1: defense in these bad situations, and I just felt like,

1893
01:31:20,680 --> 01:31:22,439
Speaker 1: what do we have to lose? Like, why can't we

1894
01:31:22,479 --> 01:31:24,559
Speaker 1: be aggressive in some of these situations. That's kind of

1895
01:31:24,560 --> 01:31:26,080
Speaker 1: how I feel about a lot of the game today.

1896
01:31:26,200 --> 01:31:29,040
Speaker 1: And he's talking about play calling too, and really openly

1897
01:31:29,120 --> 01:31:32,760
Speaker 1: questioning their offensive coordinator rich Gangarrello, which is interesting. Like

1898
01:31:32,760 --> 01:31:34,800
Speaker 1: you said, you never hear Joe Flacco complain like that,

1899
01:31:35,080 --> 01:31:36,920
Speaker 1: I've never heard of that before. No, you don't. And

1900
01:31:37,240 --> 01:31:40,960
Speaker 1: it's that's that's kind of a little bit of that's

1901
01:31:40,960 --> 01:31:42,880
Speaker 1: why we played. It's a little bit of an unprecedented

1902
01:31:42,920 --> 01:31:46,200
Speaker 1: SoundBite from an NFL quarterback with the predigree of Joe Flacco.

1903
01:31:46,240 --> 01:31:48,080
Speaker 1: People say, why he's not that, Well, he's an He's

1904
01:31:48,080 --> 01:31:51,880
Speaker 1: a super Bowl winning MVP quarterback. Despite what you think

1905
01:31:51,880 --> 01:31:53,960
Speaker 1: about the kind of player he is or what the

1906
01:31:54,000 --> 01:31:56,600
Speaker 1: guy's got a pedigree and he's at one point was

1907
01:31:56,640 --> 01:31:59,120
Speaker 1: the highest played player in the National Football League. And

1908
01:31:59,200 --> 01:32:00,800
Speaker 1: to have him come out put a sound bat like

1909
01:32:00,840 --> 01:32:04,760
Speaker 1: that out there, frustration, that's pretty frustra that's pretty the

1910
01:32:05,080 --> 01:32:07,800
Speaker 1: option of a mid season. Look, now I'm sure, at

1911
01:32:07,840 --> 01:32:09,760
Speaker 1: some point you walk into the locker room and you're

1912
01:32:09,760 --> 01:32:12,040
Speaker 1: two win sick losses, You think, WHOA, is that the

1913
01:32:12,120 --> 01:32:13,240
Speaker 1: kind of ear it's going to be? Is that what

1914
01:32:13,240 --> 01:32:16,080
Speaker 1: we're looking at doing? Six translates? And I think and

1915
01:32:16,120 --> 01:32:20,040
Speaker 1: I think that's frustration based on players, and a player

1916
01:32:20,080 --> 01:32:22,040
Speaker 1: in a locker room where they think they've got enough

1917
01:32:22,040 --> 01:32:25,680
Speaker 1: talent to be something different. I think they feel like

1918
01:32:25,760 --> 01:32:28,680
Speaker 1: they had aspirations if they had a quarterback in there,

1919
01:32:28,720 --> 01:32:31,240
Speaker 1: they were going to take a step forward offensively, and

1920
01:32:31,320 --> 01:32:33,000
Speaker 1: some of the things haven't happened. You you got to

1921
01:32:33,040 --> 01:32:37,280
Speaker 1: think how frustrated the Cleveland Browns are this morning. Isn't

1922
01:32:37,280 --> 01:32:41,240
Speaker 1: that great? Yeah we can sit there and yeah we

1923
01:32:41,280 --> 01:32:44,680
Speaker 1: can sit here and dance on their grave, But nevertheless,

1924
01:32:44,760 --> 01:32:47,479
Speaker 1: it's the same boat. Those guys had high aspirations for

1925
01:32:47,479 --> 01:32:49,600
Speaker 1: this and and they had a they're toting around a

1926
01:32:49,640 --> 01:32:52,800
Speaker 1: target that the Buffalo Bills weren't, you know, weren't a

1927
01:32:52,920 --> 01:32:55,639
Speaker 1: victim of Everybody wanted a piece of the Browns after

1928
01:32:55,680 --> 01:32:57,080
Speaker 1: all the hype that they got and all the love

1929
01:32:57,120 --> 01:33:00,720
Speaker 1: they got. But that's kind of the point we're at now.

1930
01:33:00,760 --> 01:33:03,479
Speaker 1: You're halfway through this season, or some teams are, and

1931
01:33:04,080 --> 01:33:06,240
Speaker 1: the Bills and some others are one game away from

1932
01:33:06,280 --> 01:33:09,519
Speaker 1: being halfway there. You're sitting there going, this is who

1933
01:33:09,520 --> 01:33:11,960
Speaker 1: we are? We better, you know, we see ourselves as

1934
01:33:11,960 --> 01:33:15,200
Speaker 1: we are the Bills. But you know, five and two

1935
01:33:16,520 --> 01:33:18,200
Speaker 1: with one of the worst teams in the league coming

1936
01:33:18,200 --> 01:33:19,920
Speaker 1: in here to a home game, you think, okay, we

1937
01:33:20,000 --> 01:33:22,000
Speaker 1: got a chance of being six and two here at

1938
01:33:22,000 --> 01:33:24,920
Speaker 1: the halfway point. Let's go. You know, yeah, we do

1939
01:33:25,040 --> 01:33:28,120
Speaker 1: have warts, but you know what, we just dab a

1940
01:33:28,160 --> 01:33:30,280
Speaker 1: little makeup on those and let's move on, right, Let's

1941
01:33:30,320 --> 01:33:32,360
Speaker 1: fix them and move on. And some of these teams

1942
01:33:32,680 --> 01:33:35,400
Speaker 1: are like, how did we get like Joe Flacco, how

1943
01:33:35,400 --> 01:33:39,280
Speaker 1: are we two and six? That's frustration. Man. Hey. We'll

1944
01:33:39,280 --> 01:33:41,559
Speaker 1: talk more about the Bills and their loss to the

1993
01:36:09,000 --> 01:36:11,599
Speaker 1: That's the update from One Bill's Live. John Murphy Steve

1994
01:36:11,680 --> 01:36:14,240
Speaker 1: Tasker our number three of the show, joined by Chris Brown.

1995
01:36:14,320 --> 01:36:17,519
Speaker 1: You know him, Chris Brown, Bills Insider, Buffalo Bills dot com,

1996
01:36:17,520 --> 01:36:20,519
Speaker 1: the host of co hosts of Bills Field Pass right pregame.

1997
01:36:20,600 --> 01:36:22,280
Speaker 1: That's right, how did that go yesterday? It was? It

1998
01:36:22,320 --> 01:36:25,439
Speaker 1: was nasty weather, were you guys? Yeah, Fortunately for me,

1999
01:36:25,520 --> 01:36:27,320
Speaker 1: I don't have to worry about my hair blowing around

2000
01:36:27,360 --> 01:36:30,519
Speaker 1: in the weather. So it's the one advantage of having

2001
01:36:30,520 --> 01:36:32,920
Speaker 1: a lack of coverage like I do. But yes, my

2002
01:36:33,160 --> 01:36:36,040
Speaker 1: broadcast partner Maddie was in a much different situation and

2003
01:36:36,160 --> 01:36:38,640
Speaker 1: she kind of looked like nonooka the North when the

2004
01:36:38,760 --> 01:36:41,080
Speaker 1: hood on and everything, so she was she was having

2005
01:36:41,120 --> 01:36:43,000
Speaker 1: a tough time in the weather. Our listeners and viewers

2006
01:36:43,040 --> 01:36:46,000
Speaker 1: should know about Field Pass. It is twelve fifteen before

2007
01:36:46,240 --> 01:36:48,760
Speaker 1: like ten after twelve, we're on and we're there to

2008
01:36:48,840 --> 01:36:51,519
Speaker 1: kind of show everybody, you know, player warmups, We're right

2009
01:36:51,560 --> 01:36:53,320
Speaker 1: on the field there, you know, kind of bringing them

2010
01:36:53,360 --> 01:36:55,559
Speaker 1: the pregame action there when players are getting warmed up

2011
01:36:55,600 --> 01:36:58,160
Speaker 1: ready for the game. And we actually asked for their

2012
01:36:58,240 --> 01:37:01,400
Speaker 1: interaction as well. We want to know where they're watching

2013
01:37:01,400 --> 01:37:03,400
Speaker 1: the game from. We call that roll call where they

2014
01:37:03,520 --> 01:37:06,920
Speaker 1: you know, sent tweet in or send Instagram posts us

2015
01:37:07,280 --> 01:37:09,320
Speaker 1: of where they're watching the game. We had people in

2016
01:37:09,400 --> 01:37:12,600
Speaker 1: Chicago yesterday watching the game, just dad, this dad with

2017
01:37:12,640 --> 01:37:15,439
Speaker 1: his two little sons. And we had a few other

2018
01:37:15,479 --> 01:37:18,280
Speaker 1: people in Arizona. Some guy was hiking camel back and

2019
01:37:18,479 --> 01:37:20,439
Speaker 1: he had the he had the radio broadcast on his

2020
01:37:20,520 --> 01:37:23,639
Speaker 1: phone going ready for that. So yeah, we've got people.

2021
01:37:23,640 --> 01:37:26,519
Speaker 1: We had people in Poland at a bar the last

2022
01:37:26,560 --> 01:37:28,719
Speaker 1: time we did the show a few weeks back, and

2023
01:37:29,120 --> 01:37:31,320
Speaker 1: they sent a photo in. They got the beer steins

2024
01:37:31,360 --> 01:37:33,759
Speaker 1: and everything was it was impressive. They had like Bills

2025
01:37:33,800 --> 01:37:37,320
Speaker 1: gear in Poland, crack out they were in. It was nuts.

2026
01:37:37,320 --> 01:37:39,599
Speaker 1: So we like to welcome in the interaction. So it's

2027
01:37:39,640 --> 01:37:41,599
Speaker 1: their show as much as it is a Bills productive

2028
01:37:41,640 --> 01:37:44,280
Speaker 1: streaming live on Buffalo bills dot com, Facebook, Twitter, right,

2029
01:37:44,320 --> 01:37:47,000
Speaker 1: all those platforms. That's good. So Chris is the call

2030
01:37:47,040 --> 01:37:49,719
Speaker 1: host with Mandy Glamp. So why don't you start Steve

2031
01:37:49,760 --> 01:37:53,000
Speaker 1: get Chris Cohen on this game. I mean, we've been

2032
01:37:53,040 --> 01:37:55,680
Speaker 1: taking phone calls and even of course the sky's fall

2033
01:37:55,720 --> 01:37:58,160
Speaker 1: and I did look outside the sun is uh the

2034
01:37:58,240 --> 01:38:00,680
Speaker 1: sun rose again here on Buffalo and and you know

2035
01:38:00,720 --> 01:38:04,559
Speaker 1: they're still sitting for as bad as the loss looked

2036
01:38:04,560 --> 01:38:06,120
Speaker 1: and felt to a lot of people, you know, an

2037
01:38:06,120 --> 01:38:08,720
Speaker 1: eighteen point loss at home against the Eagles who are

2038
01:38:08,720 --> 01:38:10,880
Speaker 1: now four and four or five hundred team and the

2039
01:38:10,920 --> 01:38:14,599
Speaker 1: defense got gash in the running game, the loss didn't

2040
01:38:14,640 --> 01:38:16,360
Speaker 1: mean too much. They're still in the fifth place in

2041
01:38:16,400 --> 01:38:18,519
Speaker 1: a wild card by a game and a half. And

2042
01:38:18,680 --> 01:38:21,200
Speaker 1: it's an NFC loss, not an loss. I mean, it

2043
01:38:21,200 --> 01:38:23,120
Speaker 1: couldn't have been more innocuous even if it was by

2044
01:38:23,160 --> 01:38:25,479
Speaker 1: one point. But we're taking a lot of calls. The

2045
01:38:25,560 --> 01:38:28,200
Speaker 1: defense stinks. Ryan day Bole needs to do something different.

2046
01:38:28,520 --> 01:38:30,280
Speaker 1: And what are your I know you had You've got

2047
01:38:30,320 --> 01:38:35,240
Speaker 1: the the article on you know, the Bill's app about

2048
01:38:35,280 --> 01:38:38,639
Speaker 1: three things we learned takeaways? Yeah, takeaways? Well right, and

2049
01:38:39,080 --> 01:38:41,080
Speaker 1: you know, I know people are all over dable for

2050
01:38:41,160 --> 01:38:43,200
Speaker 1: the play calling too. To me, it wasn't a play

2051
01:38:43,200 --> 01:38:46,559
Speaker 1: calling issue. It was an execution issue, and the majority

2052
01:38:46,560 --> 01:38:49,280
Speaker 1: of the players said the same thing. That's what I said.

2053
01:38:49,400 --> 01:38:52,800
Speaker 1: That's what I said. It was an execution issue, playing

2054
01:38:52,800 --> 01:38:56,519
Speaker 1: and simple, and you can run down the list. I mean,

2055
01:38:56,600 --> 01:38:58,519
Speaker 1: John Brown's in the locker room telling us he ran

2056
01:38:58,560 --> 01:39:00,920
Speaker 1: the wrong route on the fourth and ten play where

2057
01:39:00,960 --> 01:39:04,439
Speaker 1: it looked like Josh threw it behind him right on

2058
01:39:04,600 --> 01:39:07,240
Speaker 1: Darby knocked it away. Because people are like, oh, Josh

2059
01:39:07,240 --> 01:39:08,920
Speaker 1: has got to lead him to the post on that route. Well,

2060
01:39:09,000 --> 01:39:11,200
Speaker 1: John Brown wasn't supposed to run a post. He was

2061
01:39:11,200 --> 01:39:12,960
Speaker 1: posted to run a curl and come back to him,

2062
01:39:13,080 --> 01:39:15,000
Speaker 1: which is why the ball placement was where it was.

2063
01:39:15,640 --> 01:39:18,000
Speaker 1: And so that one's on John into his credit. He

2064
01:39:18,000 --> 01:39:22,040
Speaker 1: took took responsibility for that. But Josh wasn't much better either.

2065
01:39:22,560 --> 01:39:25,639
Speaker 1: Second half, eight for twenty one, passing his last ten

2066
01:39:25,680 --> 01:39:29,200
Speaker 1: pass attempts, all in completions. They had seven three and

2067
01:39:29,280 --> 01:39:31,320
Speaker 1: ounce that's the most three and ounce they've had in

2068
01:39:31,360 --> 01:39:34,520
Speaker 1: a game this season. And a lot of those incompletions

2069
01:39:34,520 --> 01:39:39,880
Speaker 1: by Josh were on him wide, high, low, short. You

2070
01:39:39,920 --> 01:39:43,320
Speaker 1: know some of the receivers, you know Singletary had a drop,

2071
01:39:43,600 --> 01:39:46,880
Speaker 1: but the drops were not prevalent yesterday. It was and

2072
01:39:46,920 --> 01:39:49,040
Speaker 1: the win probably had something to do with it. I'm

2073
01:39:49,080 --> 01:39:53,400
Speaker 1: fully ready to acknowledge that, but you know, finishing the

2074
01:39:53,439 --> 01:39:55,280
Speaker 1: game with ten straight incompletions is not a way to

2075
01:39:55,320 --> 01:39:58,920
Speaker 1: come back in a football game. And you know, to me,

2076
01:39:58,960 --> 01:40:01,240
Speaker 1: it's an execution thing though more than anything else. The

2077
01:40:01,280 --> 01:40:04,760
Speaker 1: players did not execute the plays that were called. So

2078
01:40:04,800 --> 01:40:06,880
Speaker 1: you can argue they should have run more. You could

2079
01:40:07,120 --> 01:40:08,720
Speaker 1: you want to argue that they that you want to

2080
01:40:08,840 --> 01:40:10,960
Speaker 1: use singletary more in the game plan. Now, I'll listen

2081
01:40:11,000 --> 01:40:13,720
Speaker 1: to that, because I think he's been productive enough in

2082
01:40:13,760 --> 01:40:15,639
Speaker 1: the little bit of time that he's had his hands

2083
01:40:15,640 --> 01:40:18,559
Speaker 1: on the football to be deserving of more time with

2084
01:40:18,600 --> 01:40:20,600
Speaker 1: the ball in his hands. I think he's he's on

2085
01:40:20,640 --> 01:40:23,800
Speaker 1: the field a lot, but he's just not getting the

2086
01:40:23,840 --> 01:40:25,720
Speaker 1: ball a lot, and I think that has to cha.

2087
01:40:25,840 --> 01:40:27,559
Speaker 1: Why is it? Can you I can't put my finger.

2088
01:40:27,600 --> 01:40:30,040
Speaker 1: I see that. I recognize that. I don't know if

2089
01:40:30,080 --> 01:40:34,120
Speaker 1: it's a major crisis yet, But what the I understand

2090
01:40:34,240 --> 01:40:37,320
Speaker 1: last week why they didn't put too much on his plate.

2091
01:40:37,360 --> 01:40:40,519
Speaker 1: He hadn't played for a month. He's a rookie, and

2092
01:40:40,640 --> 01:40:42,360
Speaker 1: I think they wanted to ease him back into the

2093
01:40:42,400 --> 01:40:44,479
Speaker 1: speed of the game, get adjust to the run reads

2094
01:40:45,320 --> 01:40:49,640
Speaker 1: all of that stuff this week, though with as dedicated

2095
01:40:50,000 --> 01:40:51,960
Speaker 1: a student of the game as he is, sitting at

2096
01:40:51,960 --> 01:40:55,080
Speaker 1: the elbow of Frank or the kid can be a

2097
01:40:55,160 --> 01:40:57,680
Speaker 1: dynamic weapon in this offense, not only in the run

2098
01:40:57,720 --> 01:40:59,559
Speaker 1: game but in the past game, as we saw yesterday

2099
01:41:00,560 --> 01:41:03,439
Speaker 1: on the one big play that he made. So this

2100
01:41:03,560 --> 01:41:08,000
Speaker 1: is an offense that if it's going to work and operate,

2101
01:41:08,120 --> 01:41:11,160
Speaker 1: chiefly in the short to intermediate areas, you need a

2102
01:41:11,240 --> 01:41:15,559
Speaker 1: guy or guys who can make people miss and get

2103
01:41:15,600 --> 01:41:18,360
Speaker 1: extra yards either after the catch or after they make

2104
01:41:18,400 --> 01:41:21,679
Speaker 1: the first man miss. This guy, if he's not number one,

2105
01:41:22,080 --> 01:41:24,840
Speaker 1: he's number two on your list to fit that Bill

2106
01:41:24,960 --> 01:41:27,800
Speaker 1: John Brown being the other one. Cole Beasley's probably in

2107
01:41:27,840 --> 01:41:32,040
Speaker 1: that category. But those are probably your three most elusive

2108
01:41:32,120 --> 01:41:36,320
Speaker 1: players on offense, and that's why he needs to see

2109
01:41:36,360 --> 01:41:39,240
Speaker 1: the ball. He had one touch a reception in the

2110
01:41:39,280 --> 01:41:41,559
Speaker 1: first half, and he had eight in the second, four

2111
01:41:41,640 --> 01:41:43,880
Speaker 1: runs and four receptions in the second half, so he

2112
01:41:43,960 --> 01:41:48,479
Speaker 1: had nine touches overall in the game. And yeah, I

2113
01:41:48,800 --> 01:41:50,720
Speaker 1: think you're right. I think sooner or later it's going

2114
01:41:50,760 --> 01:41:54,080
Speaker 1: to be more of a balance between he and Frank Gore.

2115
01:41:54,160 --> 01:41:56,120
Speaker 1: But I don't think there's any questions still, I think

2116
01:41:56,160 --> 01:41:57,640
Speaker 1: with the offensive line in the way it's in and

2117
01:41:57,640 --> 01:41:59,680
Speaker 1: the way the running games going, I think they like

2118
01:42:00,280 --> 01:42:02,160
Speaker 1: going the running game more than anybody else on the

2119
01:42:02,240 --> 01:42:05,719
Speaker 1: roster because of his ability to carry guys and pound

2120
01:42:05,760 --> 01:42:07,280
Speaker 1: it in there. The other thing about the lack of

2121
01:42:07,320 --> 01:42:11,519
Speaker 1: execution yesterday was the game against the Eagles was probably

2122
01:42:11,560 --> 01:42:15,320
Speaker 1: the first time that both the offensive line and the

2123
01:42:15,360 --> 01:42:19,320
Speaker 1: defensive line lost at the line of scrimmage. They got

2124
01:42:19,920 --> 01:42:23,160
Speaker 1: outperformed at the line of scrimmage by Philly's defensive line

2125
01:42:23,320 --> 01:42:25,599
Speaker 1: and by Philly's offensive line. And don't get me wrong,

2126
01:42:26,280 --> 01:42:30,200
Speaker 1: those are strong groups. I mean, yes, that the Eagles

2127
01:42:30,200 --> 01:42:33,280
Speaker 1: did not have a starting defensive tackle with one single

2128
01:42:33,320 --> 01:42:36,080
Speaker 1: game of NFL experience playing next to Fletcher Cox, But

2129
01:42:36,160 --> 01:42:38,120
Speaker 1: those other three guys on the defensive line are all

2130
01:42:38,160 --> 01:42:41,240
Speaker 1: first round picks. They're talented players. Two of them have

2131
01:42:41,320 --> 01:42:44,320
Speaker 1: been to Pro Bowls, Fletcher Cox to four Pro Bowls,

2132
01:42:46,040 --> 01:42:50,400
Speaker 1: So you understand they weren't going against you know, regular

2133
01:42:50,479 --> 01:42:54,439
Speaker 1: Joe's there. They were going against top flight NFL players,

2134
01:42:54,720 --> 01:42:59,120
Speaker 1: So you get that to a certain extent. The defense, yes,

2135
01:42:59,160 --> 01:43:02,760
Speaker 1: they're facing a good offensive line, so you know, they

2136
01:43:02,840 --> 01:43:07,040
Speaker 1: just measure up yesterday. They just didn't YEA. Our Twitter

2137
01:43:07,080 --> 01:43:10,240
Speaker 1: poll today deals with the question you know what's your

2138
01:43:10,240 --> 01:43:14,040
Speaker 1: biggest concern, and offense is overwhelmingly winning that Twitter poll.

2139
01:43:14,320 --> 01:43:16,679
Speaker 1: I will say this though, Chris, especially run defense now

2140
01:43:16,960 --> 01:43:19,760
Speaker 1: in the middle of the pack league wide seventeenth ranked

2141
01:43:19,840 --> 01:43:22,280
Speaker 1: run defense. They've they've certainly got to be better than

2142
01:43:22,320 --> 01:43:24,160
Speaker 1: they were yesterday, and they got to be better than

2143
01:43:24,200 --> 01:43:25,479
Speaker 1: they have been I think in the first half of

2144
01:43:25,479 --> 01:43:28,360
Speaker 1: the season defending the run, right, I would agree with that.

2145
01:43:28,760 --> 01:43:31,200
Speaker 1: I think that this is a defense that is largely

2146
01:43:31,240 --> 01:43:34,160
Speaker 1: built to stop the pass. Right, I got it light

2147
01:43:34,600 --> 01:43:37,719
Speaker 1: in terms of sand in the pants, not only upfront,

2148
01:43:37,720 --> 01:43:39,720
Speaker 1: but at the second level a linebacker as well. They

2149
01:43:39,760 --> 01:43:42,400
Speaker 1: need people that can run and cover because in general,

2150
01:43:43,439 --> 01:43:45,760
Speaker 1: a lot of these offenses these days rely on the

2151
01:43:45,800 --> 01:43:48,880
Speaker 1: pass more than the run. But that doesn't mean you

2152
01:43:49,400 --> 01:43:51,680
Speaker 1: can have an inability to stop the run. And I

2153
01:43:51,720 --> 01:43:55,280
Speaker 1: think that's that's of concern right now. I think the

2154
01:43:55,360 --> 01:43:58,760
Speaker 1: loss of Harrison Phillips was felt greatest yesterday, maybe than

2155
01:43:58,800 --> 01:44:00,840
Speaker 1: any other game this season. I think I said that

2156
01:44:00,880 --> 01:44:02,640
Speaker 1: a couple hours ago, didn't I Steve, I think he

2157
01:44:02,760 --> 01:44:05,560
Speaker 1: said that he's act thing, so you know, and and

2158
01:44:06,280 --> 01:44:08,760
Speaker 1: Star Latula La. I don't know what's going on with him,

2159
01:44:08,760 --> 01:44:11,240
Speaker 1: but he is just not performing as well as he

2160
01:44:11,280 --> 01:44:14,160
Speaker 1: did last season. And I don't know what it is.

2161
01:44:14,640 --> 01:44:17,960
Speaker 1: M teams have a book on him now. Once they

2162
01:44:18,000 --> 01:44:21,200
Speaker 1: get him on the run, he is far less effective

2163
01:44:21,200 --> 01:44:23,320
Speaker 1: than when he's standing there trying to just hold his

2164
01:44:23,400 --> 01:44:25,599
Speaker 1: ground in his spot. You know, they you know, they

2165
01:44:25,680 --> 01:44:27,800
Speaker 1: run an outside zone, they get him on the move

2166
01:44:28,439 --> 01:44:30,320
Speaker 1: and it's very easy for them to just kind of

2167
01:44:30,400 --> 01:44:34,519
Speaker 1: leverage him out of a play. I mean, we got

2168
01:44:34,520 --> 01:44:36,840
Speaker 1: to remember this. When Harrison Phillips was healthy, he was

2169
01:44:36,840 --> 01:44:42,360
Speaker 1: getting more playing time than Star Lula. Latula was the

2170
01:44:42,400 --> 01:44:46,080
Speaker 1: starter in name only, and now you don't have Harrison Phillips.

2171
01:44:46,080 --> 01:44:49,519
Speaker 1: And Jordan Phillips has helped stem that void a little bit,

2172
01:44:50,000 --> 01:44:52,400
Speaker 1: you know, vacillating back and forth between the one and

2173
01:44:52,439 --> 01:44:54,920
Speaker 1: three techniques, but you can't ask him to play that

2174
01:44:55,000 --> 01:44:57,920
Speaker 1: full time because his best position is three technique of

2175
01:44:58,000 --> 01:45:01,400
Speaker 1: penetrating defensive tackle in my opinion. So there's there's a

2176
01:45:01,439 --> 01:45:04,160
Speaker 1: missing piece there, and that's why on the pregame show yesterday,

2177
01:45:04,200 --> 01:45:07,040
Speaker 1: even before the game, people are talking about adding a

2178
01:45:07,080 --> 01:45:10,920
Speaker 1: receiver via trade and everything. I want a defensive tackle

2179
01:45:11,240 --> 01:45:13,360
Speaker 1: get me another one that can just stuff the run

2180
01:45:13,439 --> 01:45:15,320
Speaker 1: more effective. Can I add this to the litany of

2181
01:45:15,320 --> 01:45:18,960
Speaker 1: issues with Buffalo's defense yesterday? Observation that was the Bill's

2182
01:45:19,040 --> 01:45:22,000
Speaker 1: poorest tackling game of the season. Bad tackling. There were

2183
01:45:22,040 --> 01:45:24,759
Speaker 1: a lot of miss tackles, And I don't know how

2184
01:45:24,880 --> 01:45:28,160
Speaker 1: or why this happens, especially at the professional level. It

2185
01:45:28,920 --> 01:45:31,439
Speaker 1: blows my mind. I am just completely dumbfounded by it.

2186
01:45:31,479 --> 01:45:34,320
Speaker 1: And Steve, maybe you can lend some intelligence to this,

2187
01:45:34,360 --> 01:45:39,720
Speaker 1: but I cannot understand when there is so much fundamental

2188
01:45:40,800 --> 01:45:45,919
Speaker 1: focus in practice, the on things like tackling and scooping

2189
01:45:45,920 --> 01:45:48,880
Speaker 1: with proper technique thumbs up for you know, eight fingers

2190
01:45:48,920 --> 01:45:52,640
Speaker 1: down underneath the ball, all these little nuances of fundamentals

2191
01:45:53,439 --> 01:45:59,840
Speaker 1: that players still go in and tackle high. You've got

2192
01:45:59,840 --> 01:46:01,680
Speaker 1: a running back coming at you with a full head

2193
01:46:01,680 --> 01:46:03,639
Speaker 1: of steam and they try to wrap him up around

2194
01:46:03,640 --> 01:46:08,000
Speaker 1: his shoulders. Can somebody explain to me why that happens

2195
01:46:08,080 --> 01:46:11,040
Speaker 1: over and over and over. It happened four times on

2196
01:46:11,040 --> 01:46:15,439
Speaker 1: one play yesterday, four guys went in above the waist

2197
01:46:15,479 --> 01:46:17,240
Speaker 1: to try to tackle a running back with a full

2198
01:46:17,240 --> 01:46:19,679
Speaker 1: headed steam. Can you help me with this, Steve Tasker,

2199
01:46:19,880 --> 01:46:24,160
Speaker 1: Please make me feel better. I don't understand it. I

2200
01:46:24,200 --> 01:46:26,559
Speaker 1: have nothing to offer it. Come on, man, I could

2201
01:46:26,640 --> 01:46:29,720
Speaker 1: lend you some intelligence, but I need it back. No,

2202
01:46:30,439 --> 01:46:33,240
Speaker 1: you're right, Why does that happen at the pro level?

2203
01:46:33,320 --> 01:46:35,439
Speaker 1: I don't get it. I think it's hard to tackle, right, See,

2204
01:46:35,560 --> 01:46:38,439
Speaker 1: it's painful and difficult, right, it hurt, Yeah, it hurts,

2205
01:46:38,439 --> 01:46:40,600
Speaker 1: and I don't know if it. See I used to

2206
01:46:40,640 --> 01:46:43,240
Speaker 1: do that, and I used to go in and go

2207
01:46:43,320 --> 01:46:47,120
Speaker 1: through the low because I was always I feel it's

2208
01:46:47,600 --> 01:46:49,800
Speaker 1: you give yourself a physical mismatch when you try and

2209
01:46:49,840 --> 01:46:52,320
Speaker 1: tackle high. At least I did as a smaller guy tackling.

2210
01:46:52,920 --> 01:46:56,840
Speaker 1: And I always used to go in and thigh high

2211
01:46:57,400 --> 01:46:59,760
Speaker 1: or whenever whatever you could get at. And I always through.

2212
01:46:59,800 --> 01:47:01,840
Speaker 1: If he was running in a direction, I throw myself

2213
01:47:01,880 --> 01:47:05,200
Speaker 1: across his path and grab, you know, across him, so

2214
01:47:05,240 --> 01:47:07,320
Speaker 1: he if he was even if I missed the tackle,

2215
01:47:07,360 --> 01:47:09,639
Speaker 1: he had just like step and stumble over me. Right,

2216
01:47:10,280 --> 01:47:12,360
Speaker 1: you kind of throw yourself into the wheels of the chariot.

2217
01:47:13,040 --> 01:47:15,639
Speaker 1: I don't had to do that like four or five times, right,

2218
01:47:15,720 --> 01:47:18,000
Speaker 1: I don't have to do it. Twenty five carries a game, right,

2219
01:47:18,000 --> 01:47:19,240
Speaker 1: I just had to do it four or five times

2220
01:47:19,240 --> 01:47:22,960
Speaker 1: in it and it's yeah, you kind of got to

2221
01:47:23,000 --> 01:47:25,439
Speaker 1: gird your loins to do that, right, I mean he said, well,

2222
01:47:26,000 --> 01:47:29,600
Speaker 1: do you think it might? It doesn't always, don't you.

2223
01:47:29,840 --> 01:47:32,080
Speaker 1: I mean you do you signed up to play pro football?

2224
01:47:32,160 --> 01:47:35,280
Speaker 1: Play pro football? Yeah, I mean that's why you get

2225
01:47:35,320 --> 01:47:38,160
Speaker 1: paid with Chris Brown Bills inside or Buffalo Bills dot Com.

2226
01:47:38,240 --> 01:47:40,479
Speaker 1: Let's take a few phone calls. Let's go do Pedro

2227
01:47:40,640 --> 01:47:43,920
Speaker 1: and Buffalo Go ahead, Pedro, Welcome to the show. Hey,

2228
01:47:43,920 --> 01:47:47,960
Speaker 1: how'd you guys doing? Okay, Hey, listen, I think, uh,

2229
01:47:49,960 --> 01:47:54,559
Speaker 1: the worst car that dabled me that's right before half.

2230
01:47:55,479 --> 01:47:57,759
Speaker 1: I mean I think he called a good gang. Okay,

2231
01:47:57,920 --> 01:48:01,000
Speaker 1: but this one car right here, right before I think

2232
01:48:01,040 --> 01:48:03,400
Speaker 1: it was a minute forty sixth lab. We got the

2233
01:48:03,520 --> 01:48:07,120
Speaker 1: ball like on the twenty yard line, and he called

2234
01:48:07,160 --> 01:48:11,680
Speaker 1: a quarterbacks suite. Yeah, you know what I'm saying. Instead

2235
01:48:11,720 --> 01:48:14,599
Speaker 1: of and just giving the ball to the Hall of

2236
01:48:14,600 --> 01:48:17,360
Speaker 1: Fame running back, we're gonna be in a Hall of

2237
01:48:17,400 --> 01:48:21,400
Speaker 1: fame that runs the ball. You give it to your

2238
01:48:21,960 --> 01:48:26,120
Speaker 1: second year quarterback to run a ball on a quarterback

2239
01:48:26,160 --> 01:48:30,200
Speaker 1: suek and he already got fumbling. Yeah. Well, I'm gonna

2240
01:48:30,200 --> 01:48:31,759
Speaker 1: disagree with the Pedro. I think that was a pretty

2241
01:48:31,760 --> 01:48:34,519
Speaker 1: good call. It was a third and two in their

2242
01:48:34,520 --> 01:48:36,400
Speaker 1: own territory. I think it was a pretty good call.

2243
01:48:36,680 --> 01:48:40,439
Speaker 1: It's worked before, Yeah, it's it's the They scored a

2244
01:48:40,479 --> 01:48:42,559
Speaker 1: touchdown on it in the Jets game, right, that played

2245
01:48:42,640 --> 01:48:46,960
Speaker 1: basically hindsight hindsight. It probably would have been a good

2246
01:48:47,000 --> 01:48:50,120
Speaker 1: call if he hadn't fumbled. Yeah, if he hadn't fumbled,

2247
01:48:50,160 --> 01:48:52,280
Speaker 1: would him in a good call? And and and Pedro,

2248
01:48:52,400 --> 01:48:54,240
Speaker 1: thank you for playing right into my argument that it

2249
01:48:54,280 --> 01:48:58,559
Speaker 1: was an execution issue yesterday, because did Brian Dable call

2250
01:48:58,640 --> 01:49:01,160
Speaker 1: this third and two play with the expected outcome being

2251
01:49:01,160 --> 01:49:04,080
Speaker 1: a fumble? No, of course not. But he didn't call

2252
01:49:04,160 --> 01:49:08,200
Speaker 1: the play. I mean, he didn't run the play. You know,

2253
01:49:08,840 --> 01:49:11,200
Speaker 1: Josh Allen ran the play and he lost the football.

2254
01:49:11,320 --> 01:49:16,280
Speaker 1: That's an execution issue. I mean, it's listening that play

2255
01:49:17,000 --> 01:49:19,080
Speaker 1: is now. I think we gotta say it's a bread

2256
01:49:19,080 --> 01:49:22,080
Speaker 1: and butter play. Used it a lot, see it every

2257
01:49:22,120 --> 01:49:25,120
Speaker 1: game was something similar on the two point conversion. We

2258
01:49:25,360 --> 01:49:28,439
Speaker 1: saw it on both You saw it on both weeks one,

2259
01:49:28,600 --> 01:49:31,120
Speaker 1: You've seen it every week. You see Josh pulling out,

2260
01:49:31,160 --> 01:49:33,880
Speaker 1: you see Mitch Morris and John Feliciano out in front

2261
01:49:34,520 --> 01:49:36,760
Speaker 1: with Frank Gore or whoever the running back is and

2262
01:49:36,800 --> 01:49:39,760
Speaker 1: they turn the corner, they get yardage. Sometimes they get

2263
01:49:39,760 --> 01:49:42,880
Speaker 1: ten yards. I mean they just they bowl. All they

2264
01:49:42,960 --> 01:49:45,280
Speaker 1: needed was too in that play, and you know the

2265
01:49:45,360 --> 01:49:49,360
Speaker 1: guy that runs past it reaches back and just gets

2266
01:49:49,360 --> 01:49:50,599
Speaker 1: a piece of the ball and it costs it up.

2267
01:49:50,640 --> 01:49:53,240
Speaker 1: So they got beat on a play that's their bread

2268
01:49:53,280 --> 01:49:54,720
Speaker 1: and butter. You got to tip your hat to the

2269
01:49:54,720 --> 01:49:56,840
Speaker 1: Eagles for expecting it and being all over it when

2270
01:49:56,880 --> 01:49:59,000
Speaker 1: they ran it and getting a big play out. And

2271
01:49:59,280 --> 01:50:01,160
Speaker 1: I don't want to be in a apologist for Brian Dable,

2272
01:50:01,200 --> 01:50:03,639
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna throw this out there too. How many

2273
01:50:03,680 --> 01:50:05,640
Speaker 1: players do you have in the playbook for first and

2274
01:50:05,680 --> 01:50:09,519
Speaker 1: twenty second and twenty second and fifteen? You know what

2275
01:50:09,520 --> 01:50:12,200
Speaker 1: I mean. It's not like his players did him any

2276
01:50:12,240 --> 01:50:16,439
Speaker 1: favors either, because right now, eight penalties yesterday right around

2277
01:50:16,439 --> 01:50:19,400
Speaker 1: their average. They average eight point four penalties a game.

2278
01:50:20,000 --> 01:50:22,599
Speaker 1: They're on let me see there I wrote this down.

2279
01:50:23,000 --> 01:50:25,920
Speaker 1: They're on pace for one hundred and thirty five penalties

2280
01:50:25,920 --> 01:50:30,519
Speaker 1: this season. One hundred thirty seven led the league last year. Okay,

2281
01:50:30,960 --> 01:50:33,080
Speaker 1: last year the Bills had one hundred and sixteen penalties.

2282
01:50:33,080 --> 01:50:35,320
Speaker 1: They were tied for sixth in the league. Right now,

2283
01:50:35,800 --> 01:50:38,080
Speaker 1: they have fifty nine on the season, that's tenth most

2284
01:50:38,120 --> 01:50:43,760
Speaker 1: in the league. Here's the problem, twenty nine pre snap penalties.

2285
01:50:44,000 --> 01:50:46,640
Speaker 1: That's tied for the league lead. They are tied with

2286
01:50:46,720 --> 01:50:50,519
Speaker 1: Houston for the league lead in pre snap penalties. Want

2287
01:50:50,520 --> 01:50:53,519
Speaker 1: to know what else? Houston's played eight games, Bills have

2288
01:50:53,600 --> 01:50:56,280
Speaker 1: only played seven, and yet the two teams are tied

2289
01:50:56,280 --> 01:50:58,600
Speaker 1: to the top of the league for pre snap penalties.

2290
01:50:58,840 --> 01:51:02,320
Speaker 1: Now you say, well, what's the big deal. They played

2291
01:51:02,360 --> 01:51:05,960
Speaker 1: one more game. Houston's run almost two hundred more plays

2292
01:51:06,040 --> 01:51:09,880
Speaker 1: from scrimmage than the Bills this season because their offense

2293
01:51:09,920 --> 01:51:11,639
Speaker 1: has stayed on the field a lot longer, they got

2294
01:51:11,640 --> 01:51:14,240
Speaker 1: the same number of pre snap penalties. I mean, it's

2295
01:51:14,280 --> 01:51:18,719
Speaker 1: just half of their penalties are yes, are pre snap.

2296
01:51:18,800 --> 01:51:22,439
Speaker 1: It's just it can't happen. It just can't. I mean,

2297
01:51:22,560 --> 01:51:25,120
Speaker 1: it's going to happen once in a while, but it

2298
01:51:25,160 --> 01:51:28,600
Speaker 1: can't happen with the other with the frequency that the

2299
01:51:28,680 --> 01:51:31,640
Speaker 1: Bills are committing them. It's just unacceptable right now. And

2300
01:51:32,120 --> 01:51:34,160
Speaker 1: you know you can, you can run down the list.

2301
01:51:34,240 --> 01:51:38,200
Speaker 1: I mean they're they're I mean, defense is not absolved either.

2302
01:51:38,280 --> 01:51:40,759
Speaker 1: Their second in the League in defensive off sides penalties.

2303
01:51:41,080 --> 01:51:43,799
Speaker 1: It's just they were lining up in the neutrals yesterday twice,

2304
01:51:43,840 --> 01:51:46,280
Speaker 1: and yeah, it's it's pretty fresh. I think it's got

2305
01:51:46,280 --> 01:51:48,639
Speaker 1: to be frustrating, and I don't really have an answer

2306
01:51:48,640 --> 01:51:53,080
Speaker 1: for it. I mean, you're either allowing it to As

2307
01:51:53,080 --> 01:51:54,880
Speaker 1: a coaching staff, you're either allowing it to happen or

2308
01:51:54,880 --> 01:51:56,640
Speaker 1: coaching it to happen, or not doing enough to get

2309
01:51:56,680 --> 01:51:58,439
Speaker 1: it out of their system. And I don't know how

2310
01:51:58,479 --> 01:52:00,599
Speaker 1: you do that, because if you got you've only got

2311
01:52:00,640 --> 01:52:02,599
Speaker 1: fifty three guys to work with, so you can't start

2312
01:52:02,640 --> 01:52:07,639
Speaker 1: benching guys. Otherwise, you're playing nine wide receivers and three

2313
01:52:07,680 --> 01:52:09,880
Speaker 1: of them are offensive linemen all of a sudden, you

2314
01:52:09,880 --> 01:52:11,360
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. I'm just wondering if the refs

2315
01:52:11,360 --> 01:52:13,920
Speaker 1: are coming back to practice, because they were here last

2316
01:52:13,960 --> 01:52:16,360
Speaker 1: year almost the entire season. They haven't been here this year.

2317
01:52:17,439 --> 01:52:20,599
Speaker 1: After coach McDermot watches this film again, I wonder how

2318
01:52:20,640 --> 01:52:22,960
Speaker 1: far off we are from seeing refs that practice again,

2319
01:52:23,160 --> 01:52:25,400
Speaker 1: throwing flags to kind of drill it into them. Hey,

2320
01:52:25,640 --> 01:52:28,840
Speaker 1: that's not gonna work. On Sunday, call here from Frank

2321
01:52:28,880 --> 01:52:30,840
Speaker 1: and Webster in New York. Come home, Frank, Welcome to

2322
01:52:30,840 --> 01:52:37,040
Speaker 1: the show. Hi guys, I worry good. Hey, I just

2323
01:52:37,040 --> 01:52:42,639
Speaker 1: wanted to see what you and Steve thought about. And Chris,

2324
01:52:42,680 --> 01:52:45,320
Speaker 1: it seems to me when we brought in or drafted

2325
01:52:45,400 --> 01:52:49,200
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, the plan was for him to sit behind

2326
01:52:49,360 --> 01:52:55,280
Speaker 1: AJ McCarron or Nick Peterman, and that was a plan

2327
01:52:55,400 --> 01:52:58,599
Speaker 1: as we went into the season, and I just don't

2328
01:52:58,600 --> 01:53:02,599
Speaker 1: feel not because of yesterday games, just all eighteen games

2329
01:53:02,600 --> 01:53:06,200
Speaker 1: he's played, I just don't quite think he's there yet

2330
01:53:06,439 --> 01:53:09,680
Speaker 1: to be a starting quarterback. And my thought is is

2331
01:53:09,720 --> 01:53:12,400
Speaker 1: to do whatever we can to get Teddy Bridgewater in

2332
01:53:14,320 --> 01:53:17,599
Speaker 1: and has to learn a year or two behind Teddy. Um,

2333
01:53:18,400 --> 01:53:22,080
Speaker 1: he's obviously a starter. If we don't get him, somebody

2334
01:53:22,080 --> 01:53:26,080
Speaker 1: else is going to make a starter. And not tossing

2335
01:53:26,200 --> 01:53:30,280
Speaker 1: Jack aside. I'm just thinking maybe after a year or

2336
01:53:30,280 --> 01:53:34,160
Speaker 1: two of watching Teddy that he can become a starter.

2337
01:53:34,240 --> 01:53:37,639
Speaker 1: And see, you know, I can't do this, I can't

2338
01:53:37,680 --> 01:53:40,760
Speaker 1: do that. I can't run him. Yeah. I don't love

2339
01:53:40,760 --> 01:53:42,360
Speaker 1: that plan. I don't like that plan, Frank, and I

2340
01:53:42,360 --> 01:53:44,519
Speaker 1: think Steve likes it less than I do. Yeah, I

2341
01:53:45,439 --> 01:53:47,720
Speaker 1: think that's a step backwards. Two. I think it's a

2342
01:53:47,760 --> 01:53:49,640
Speaker 1: step backwards. Frank, I mean, I get if you don't like,

2343
01:53:49,680 --> 01:53:52,439
Speaker 1: if you don't think Josh got here's the thing. You got.

2344
01:53:52,479 --> 01:53:56,200
Speaker 1: Eighteen starts under this guy's belt. We've seen incremental improvements,

2345
01:53:57,479 --> 01:54:00,000
Speaker 1: some of them some of them tangible, some of them

2346
01:54:00,040 --> 01:54:05,120
Speaker 1: not so tangible. And yesterday was a step backwards, no question,

2347
01:54:05,640 --> 01:54:10,880
Speaker 1: but it is not. You're not gonna go back. You're

2348
01:54:10,880 --> 01:54:13,599
Speaker 1: not gonna trash the plan because you had a bad day.

2349
01:54:13,600 --> 01:54:15,679
Speaker 1: Gets a good friend. And here's and here's the other

2350
01:54:15,720 --> 01:54:21,320
Speaker 1: thing to remember with young quarterbacks in this league. The

2351
01:54:21,360 --> 01:54:26,559
Speaker 1: way that a young quarterback improves is not this steady,

2352
01:54:26,800 --> 01:54:29,680
Speaker 1: inclined slope going up and up and up and up

2353
01:54:29,720 --> 01:54:32,720
Speaker 1: and up. It doesn't happen in the NFL. The NFL

2354
01:54:32,800 --> 01:54:36,680
Speaker 1: is too competitive where a quarterback doesn't just get it

2355
01:54:36,680 --> 01:54:38,960
Speaker 1: and there they just get greater and greater and greater

2356
01:54:39,000 --> 01:54:41,840
Speaker 1: and greater every single week. There are ups and there

2357
01:54:41,840 --> 01:54:44,320
Speaker 1: are downs, there are peaks and there are valleys. There

2358
01:54:44,320 --> 01:54:47,200
Speaker 1: are buzz saws that you just run into a certain

2359
01:54:47,240 --> 01:54:50,520
Speaker 1: week where you don't have an answer. And to a

2360
01:54:50,560 --> 01:54:53,640
Speaker 1: certain extent, that was yesterday. Now some of it was

2361
01:54:53,680 --> 01:54:57,000
Speaker 1: his own doing, with some of the inaccuracies of the

2362
01:54:57,040 --> 01:55:01,320
Speaker 1: passing game with his throws yesterday, and there were some

2363
01:55:01,360 --> 01:55:04,080
Speaker 1: things that he flat out just didn't see. Tyler Crofts

2364
01:55:04,160 --> 01:55:06,160
Speaker 1: running a corner route wide open in the end zone,

2365
01:55:06,360 --> 01:55:09,920
Speaker 1: going down towards the scoreboard end And granted it looked

2366
01:55:09,960 --> 01:55:12,360
Speaker 1: like the design of the play didn't have him looking

2367
01:55:12,400 --> 01:55:15,680
Speaker 1: there first, but Tyler Croft won off the line of scrimmage,

2368
01:55:15,680 --> 01:55:18,360
Speaker 1: and if he threw him the ball he had nothing

2369
01:55:18,400 --> 01:55:20,520
Speaker 1: but green grass for thirty yards in front of him,

2370
01:55:20,560 --> 01:55:23,160
Speaker 1: would have been a touchdown. He didn't see him. It's

2371
01:55:23,200 --> 01:55:25,640
Speaker 1: gonna happen. He's not going to see everything. We were

2372
01:55:25,680 --> 01:55:27,960
Speaker 1: talking to job. I was asking Josh last week at

2373
01:55:27,960 --> 01:55:31,920
Speaker 1: his press conference last Wednesday about how he feels it's

2374
01:55:31,920 --> 01:55:36,280
Speaker 1: coming with coming up with solutions pre snap, recognizing what's

2375
01:55:36,280 --> 01:55:39,400
Speaker 1: coming at in pre snap, and making adjustments accordingly. And

2376
01:55:39,520 --> 01:55:42,160
Speaker 1: he even said himself, look, I feel like I'm getting

2377
01:55:42,200 --> 01:55:44,200
Speaker 1: better in that area, but I know I have not

2378
01:55:44,400 --> 01:55:46,800
Speaker 1: seen everything that this league has to throw at you.

2379
01:55:47,080 --> 01:55:48,680
Speaker 1: There are going to be times where I may get

2380
01:55:48,720 --> 01:55:51,040
Speaker 1: a little crossed up or I may not have all

2381
01:55:51,040 --> 01:55:54,879
Speaker 1: the answers. He hasn't mastered the position, and to expect

2382
01:55:54,920 --> 01:55:58,240
Speaker 1: him to in his second season as a starter is

2383
01:55:58,320 --> 01:56:02,400
Speaker 1: unrealistic in my opinion, especially when you consider where he

2384
01:56:02,440 --> 01:56:06,440
Speaker 1: came from in college. So I just think that the

2385
01:56:06,560 --> 01:56:10,760
Speaker 1: learning curve is still being traveled. By no means has

2386
01:56:10,760 --> 01:56:13,560
Speaker 1: he maximized his potential as a quarterback in this league.

2387
01:56:14,080 --> 01:56:16,480
Speaker 1: And people, as much as they may not want to

2388
01:56:16,480 --> 01:56:18,760
Speaker 1: hear it, you're not going to get it all this year.

2389
01:56:19,120 --> 01:56:21,040
Speaker 1: I don't think it's all going to show up this year.

2390
01:56:21,080 --> 01:56:24,520
Speaker 1: I really don't. Because the way he's improving, as Steve said,

2391
01:56:24,720 --> 01:56:27,720
Speaker 1: is incremental in nature. So to think that he's going

2392
01:56:27,760 --> 01:56:29,800
Speaker 1: to get to Pro Bowl status by the end of

2393
01:56:29,800 --> 01:56:32,320
Speaker 1: this year, I just don't think that's realistic. It's not

2394
01:56:32,360 --> 01:56:36,360
Speaker 1: only incremental in nature, it's also a roller, a little

2395
01:56:36,400 --> 01:56:39,840
Speaker 1: bit of an up and down, and then you're gonna drop,

2396
01:56:39,880 --> 01:56:41,000
Speaker 1: and then you're gonna have a bad day, and you're

2397
01:56:41,000 --> 01:56:42,360
Speaker 1: gonna have a couple of good ones. You're gonna have

2398
01:56:42,360 --> 01:56:44,440
Speaker 1: a dropped. The problem that you just got to keep

2399
01:56:44,480 --> 01:56:47,160
Speaker 1: the trend going and your bad days turn into a

2400
01:56:47,160 --> 01:56:49,400
Speaker 1: little bit better days than they were to begin with,

2401
01:56:49,720 --> 01:56:51,760
Speaker 1: and your great days get better as well. And the

2402
01:56:51,760 --> 01:56:54,320
Speaker 1: one thing you can say definitively is he's not going

2403
01:56:54,400 --> 01:56:56,720
Speaker 1: to get better if he doesn't play so you want

2404
01:56:56,720 --> 01:56:58,800
Speaker 1: to trade for Trent Teddy Bridgewater and put him in

2405
01:56:58,840 --> 01:57:02,000
Speaker 1: the lineup, That's that's foolhardy if your plan is still

2406
01:57:02,000 --> 01:57:04,480
Speaker 1: to make you know Josh the guy you got. You're

2407
01:57:04,520 --> 01:57:06,880
Speaker 1: going five and two in the first seven games this

2408
01:57:07,000 --> 01:57:11,920
Speaker 1: season with a quarterback that's still learning and getting better.

2409
01:57:12,160 --> 01:57:16,320
Speaker 1: That's there's not too many better places to be as

2410
01:57:16,320 --> 01:57:19,760
Speaker 1: a starter, right ten hen Wings eight losses, believe that's right. Yeah, Hey,

2411
01:57:20,200 --> 01:57:21,760
Speaker 1: I don't want to skip over this because you wrote

2412
01:57:21,760 --> 01:57:25,160
Speaker 1: about it too. Tyler Croft four targets, two catches, two

2413
01:57:25,440 --> 01:57:27,640
Speaker 1: significant catches yesterday. That was good to see. I think

2414
01:57:27,640 --> 01:57:30,040
Speaker 1: a really good sign. Yeah, I mean I felt that

2415
01:57:30,120 --> 01:57:33,640
Speaker 1: he and Singletary flashed yesterday. They're deserving of more of

2416
01:57:33,680 --> 01:57:38,360
Speaker 1: the offensive percentages in terms of targets, carries, whatever you

2417
01:57:38,400 --> 01:57:41,160
Speaker 1: want to call it. These are two elements for Buffalo's

2418
01:57:41,200 --> 01:57:44,840
Speaker 1: offense where up until even last week, you weren't quite

2419
01:57:44,840 --> 01:57:47,440
Speaker 1: sure what you had. I think you have a little

2420
01:57:47,440 --> 01:57:51,120
Speaker 1: bit more evidence that these guys can help you on offense.

2421
01:57:51,720 --> 01:57:54,000
Speaker 1: Like I said, I think Singletary is one of the

2422
01:57:54,040 --> 01:57:57,200
Speaker 1: three most elusive weapons you have on offense with Beasley

2423
01:57:57,200 --> 01:58:00,360
Speaker 1: and Brown, and Croft is another big target. Get to

2424
01:58:00,360 --> 01:58:04,200
Speaker 1: add to the middle of the field. So yes, these

2425
01:58:04,240 --> 01:58:09,720
Speaker 1: guys should get more of the attention from the offense

2426
01:58:10,200 --> 01:58:12,600
Speaker 1: as a whole, whether Josh is looking for him, whether

2427
01:58:12,600 --> 01:58:15,400
Speaker 1: they're earlier in his progressions, where they're Singletary is on

2428
01:58:15,440 --> 01:58:18,080
Speaker 1: the field and getting more of the carries. Those two

2429
01:58:18,080 --> 01:58:20,680
Speaker 1: guys can help push this offense forward. They have the

2430
01:58:20,720 --> 01:58:23,480
Speaker 1: ability to do so. A couple of minutes here left

2431
01:58:23,480 --> 01:58:26,600
Speaker 1: with Chris will take another phone call or two. CJ

2432
01:58:26,760 --> 01:58:31,040
Speaker 1: from Buffalo. Go ahead, CJ, Welcome to the show. Good afternoon, gentlemen.

2433
01:58:31,800 --> 01:58:33,680
Speaker 1: Just call and just wanted to get your take on

2434
01:58:34,520 --> 01:58:37,960
Speaker 1: the way the Bills have been managing the clock on offense.

2435
01:58:38,280 --> 01:58:42,760
Speaker 1: It seems to me that like so many times, we're

2436
01:58:42,800 --> 01:58:45,080
Speaker 1: going down to like zero seconds on the play clock,

2437
01:58:45,480 --> 01:58:47,520
Speaker 1: and it seems to me that that really gives the

2438
01:58:47,560 --> 01:58:51,520
Speaker 1: advantage to the defense because they're like, no, it's either

2439
01:58:51,600 --> 01:58:54,240
Speaker 1: going to get snapped in like five seconds as opposed

2440
01:58:54,280 --> 01:58:55,840
Speaker 1: to trying to catch him off guard. You know, you

2441
01:58:55,880 --> 01:58:59,560
Speaker 1: see Brady Rogers, other quarterbacks, they're snapping the ball with

2442
01:58:59,600 --> 01:59:02,680
Speaker 1: twelve seconds on the clock. Not all the time, sometimes

2443
01:59:02,720 --> 01:59:05,080
Speaker 1: they do that, And the main reason why quarterbacks run

2444
01:59:05,120 --> 01:59:07,879
Speaker 1: the play clock down sometimes is to get the defense

2445
01:59:07,920 --> 01:59:10,520
Speaker 1: to play their hand and line up where they're supposed to.

2446
01:59:10,640 --> 01:59:13,640
Speaker 1: The defense, Yes, they know the snap's coming, so the

2447
01:59:13,680 --> 01:59:17,160
Speaker 1: offense avoids delay of game, but also if they're gonna

2448
01:59:17,160 --> 01:59:20,720
Speaker 1: spin their safeties or they're gonna walk somebody up to blitz,

2449
01:59:21,200 --> 01:59:24,000
Speaker 1: if you wait until one second left on the play clock,

2450
01:59:24,080 --> 01:59:26,360
Speaker 1: you can get a defense to play their hand so

2451
01:59:26,440 --> 01:59:29,560
Speaker 1: you have that split second advanced notice of what's coming

2452
01:59:29,600 --> 01:59:32,680
Speaker 1: at you. That's why quarterbacks running down sometimes they're trying

2453
01:59:32,680 --> 01:59:34,360
Speaker 1: to get the defense to play their hand. The only

2454
01:59:34,400 --> 01:59:36,400
Speaker 1: time they snap it earlier is to get them on

2455
01:59:36,480 --> 01:59:39,800
Speaker 1: tempo or tempo change them and get them caught nap

2456
01:59:39,800 --> 01:59:41,560
Speaker 1: in that way. Yeah, it's either one of the two things.

2457
01:59:41,640 --> 01:59:44,360
Speaker 1: They'd either take as much time as they possibly can

2458
01:59:45,120 --> 01:59:47,400
Speaker 1: or they go as fast as they possibly can, both

2459
01:59:47,440 --> 01:59:50,200
Speaker 1: for the same reason to get a different result. One,

2460
01:59:49,920 --> 01:59:53,960
Speaker 1: like Brownie said, it's they know the ball's gonna be snapped,

2461
01:59:53,960 --> 01:59:55,640
Speaker 1: so they'll start stemming to where they're gonna be in

2462
01:59:55,680 --> 01:59:57,240
Speaker 1: The quarterback will get a little bit of an early

2463
01:59:57,280 --> 01:59:59,200
Speaker 1: read on what the defense really is instead of what

2464
01:59:59,240 --> 02:00:01,360
Speaker 1: they're showing. And the other is to catch them when

2465
02:00:01,400 --> 02:00:03,880
Speaker 1: they're so far out of position. That they're standing around

2466
02:00:03,880 --> 02:00:05,960
Speaker 1: not ready for the snap, or that they're trying to

2467
02:00:05,960 --> 02:00:07,400
Speaker 1: get a call, or you get you know, you catch

2468
02:00:07,440 --> 02:00:09,360
Speaker 1: them on a tempo thing where you're going no huddling,

2469
02:00:09,440 --> 02:00:11,600
Speaker 1: going fast paced, and to catch them put them on

2470
02:00:11,600 --> 02:00:13,320
Speaker 1: their heels, particularly if you can have a couple of

2471
02:00:13,360 --> 02:00:18,160
Speaker 1: successful plays doing the fast tempo. But yeah, and you'll

2472
02:00:18,200 --> 02:00:20,360
Speaker 1: see every quarter. And I know you mentioned all those

2473
02:00:20,360 --> 02:00:22,680
Speaker 1: great quarterbacks in the league who always snap. They don't

2474
02:00:22,720 --> 02:00:24,920
Speaker 1: always snap at that they always they go down. Last

2475
02:00:25,000 --> 02:00:27,760
Speaker 1: night I was watching Monday Night football. Aaron Rodgers is

2476
02:00:27,760 --> 02:00:31,160
Speaker 1: taking the playclock down inside five almost virtually every series,

2477
02:00:31,200 --> 02:00:34,600
Speaker 1: every snap. So they do that for a reason. And

2478
02:00:34,640 --> 02:00:37,320
Speaker 1: they also go tempo for but and of course, I mean,

2479
02:00:37,440 --> 02:00:39,320
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna deny this for a second. There was

2480
02:00:39,360 --> 02:00:41,560
Speaker 1: a problem getting plays in on time earlier this season

2481
02:00:41,600 --> 02:00:43,760
Speaker 1: when they were burning time outs and the play clocks

2482
02:00:43,720 --> 02:00:45,080
Speaker 1: was running down because they were getting out of the

2483
02:00:45,120 --> 02:00:48,480
Speaker 1: hudle too late. They've they've corrected that. For the most part,

2484
02:00:48,760 --> 02:00:50,960
Speaker 1: they're getting out of I've been watching the last two games.

2485
02:00:50,960 --> 02:00:54,240
Speaker 1: They're getting out of the huddle around eighteen seventeen, sixteen

2486
02:00:54,320 --> 02:00:57,760
Speaker 1: seconds because the longer Josh has to kind of oversee

2487
02:00:58,040 --> 02:01:00,320
Speaker 1: what he's looking at defensively, I think the better it

2488
02:01:00,400 --> 02:01:01,920
Speaker 1: is for him as well. Chris, what do you make

2489
02:01:01,920 --> 02:01:04,400
Speaker 1: all the Eagles fans in attendance serious today? It's a

2490
02:01:04,400 --> 02:01:08,840
Speaker 1: good showing. Yeah, I know, I actually knows. I know

2491
02:01:08,880 --> 02:01:12,080
Speaker 1: a couple of Eagles fans, Uh, and they do travel

2492
02:01:12,160 --> 02:01:14,200
Speaker 1: well in general. I don't think they're at the top

2493
02:01:14,240 --> 02:01:16,360
Speaker 1: of the league in that category, you know, maybe like

2494
02:01:16,400 --> 02:01:18,920
Speaker 1: the Steelers are or like the Bills are. Usually don't

2495
02:01:18,920 --> 02:01:23,800
Speaker 1: see twenty thousand Eagles fan that's a high number, uh,

2496
02:01:23,840 --> 02:01:26,000
Speaker 1: and they were close to that yesterday, I believe from

2497
02:01:26,040 --> 02:01:28,560
Speaker 1: all the green we could see in the stands and uh,

2498
02:01:28,720 --> 02:01:30,440
Speaker 1: it was kind of it's kind of a taste of

2499
02:01:30,480 --> 02:01:32,280
Speaker 1: your own medicine. Yeah, Bills fans at the end of

2500
02:01:32,280 --> 02:01:34,400
Speaker 1: the game, it's well, yeah, certainly at the end of

2501
02:01:34,440 --> 02:01:36,960
Speaker 1: the game, no question, because they had the eagli as

2502
02:01:37,000 --> 02:01:40,280
Speaker 1: Eagles chant crowding around behind the Eagle and um. Yeah,

2503
02:01:40,320 --> 02:01:41,840
Speaker 1: So it was kind of a bitter pill to have

2504
02:01:41,920 --> 02:01:44,600
Speaker 1: to swallow in light of how the game unfolded. But

2505
02:01:45,200 --> 02:01:47,280
Speaker 1: it's it's not a far trip. I mean, you could

2506
02:01:47,360 --> 02:01:50,120
Speaker 1: drive it and probably six and a half and fly

2507
02:01:50,240 --> 02:01:53,120
Speaker 1: in his fifty minutes. So you know, if people have

2508
02:01:53,200 --> 02:01:56,080
Speaker 1: the financial wherewithal to do it, they're gonna show up.

2509
02:01:56,320 --> 02:01:58,560
Speaker 1: We mentioned top three things from yesterday's game. What else

2510
02:01:58,640 --> 02:02:00,360
Speaker 1: coming up on the website? Would you work? And you've

2511
02:02:00,320 --> 02:02:02,440
Speaker 1: got Sean McDermot. Yeah, we've got it. Yeah, So we'll

2512
02:02:02,480 --> 02:02:04,280
Speaker 1: have our quick hits off of him, just you know,

2513
02:02:04,360 --> 02:02:06,920
Speaker 1: kind of the highlights of what he addresses here this afternoon,

2514
02:02:07,280 --> 02:02:11,360
Speaker 1: and then tomorrow we'll have our statistical column noteworthy numbers,

2515
02:02:11,400 --> 02:02:13,640
Speaker 1: and you can bet penalties are going to be in there.

2516
02:02:13,640 --> 02:02:16,240
Speaker 1: But there's another stat where the Bills are still leading

2517
02:02:16,240 --> 02:02:18,200
Speaker 1: the league in a category that might catch some people

2518
02:02:18,240 --> 02:02:22,000
Speaker 1: by surprise. So we'll be profiling positive. It is positive. Yeah,

2519
02:02:22,040 --> 02:02:25,000
Speaker 1: well there you go. See. Not only is the sun up.

2520
02:02:25,160 --> 02:02:27,200
Speaker 1: We try to have a healthy mix here. Murph, that's

2521
02:02:27,200 --> 02:02:30,760
Speaker 1: not in a positive stat That's good, awesome, Chris. Thanks

2522
02:02:31,400 --> 02:02:33,800
Speaker 1: Chris Brown, Bills Inside or Buffalo Bills dot Com. Stephen

Speaker 1: I coming back. We'll take more of your phone calls

2524
02:02:35,480 --> 02:02:37,680
Speaker 1: as well. Come on back. One Bill's Live presented by

2525
02:02:37,720 --> 02:02:40,600
Speaker 1: Klada Health from the Seneca Studio in Orchard Park. This

2526
02:02:40,640 --> 02:02:54,280
Speaker 1: is Buffalo Bills Radio. Here we go One Bill's Live.

2527
02:02:54,360 --> 02:02:58,000
Speaker 1: John murfeaste tasker here until three. As we rebound from

2528
02:02:58,040 --> 02:02:59,920
Speaker 1: the loss of the Eagles. I think most of Bill

2529
02:03:00,160 --> 02:03:02,120
Speaker 1: Nation feels the same way. I want to get your

2530
02:03:02,120 --> 02:03:05,000
Speaker 1: thoughts on moving forward. You know, still more than half

2531
02:03:05,000 --> 02:03:07,600
Speaker 1: a season left. What is your biggest concern for the

2532
02:03:07,640 --> 02:03:11,280
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills moving forward? Offense? Defense? Pretty simple question. We

2533
02:03:11,320 --> 02:03:14,680
Speaker 1: put you on Twitter today on the Twitter poll biggest

2534
02:03:14,680 --> 02:03:17,040
Speaker 1: concern following the loss to the Eagles. You saw the

2535
02:03:17,120 --> 02:03:20,160
Speaker 1: defense fail miserably against the Eagles. You saw the offense

2536
02:03:20,240 --> 02:03:23,560
Speaker 1: continue to struggle. So what's your biggest concern? Votes in

2537
02:03:23,600 --> 02:03:26,280
Speaker 1: so far, seventy eight percent of you say offense. We

2538
02:03:26,320 --> 02:03:30,440
Speaker 1: need more offense, twenty two percent say defense. I'm claimed

2539
02:03:30,480 --> 02:03:33,360
Speaker 1: to agree. Tell us what you think eight three fifty.

2540
02:03:33,920 --> 02:03:36,280
Speaker 1: Let's go back to the calls though, Sam in Spring

2541
02:03:36,320 --> 02:03:40,800
Speaker 1: Goo Sam, Hello you guys. How's it going? Okay? Here? Yeah?

2542
02:03:40,840 --> 02:03:45,120
Speaker 1: Go ahead? Hey guys, Um, Well, I was just so

2543
02:03:45,200 --> 02:03:47,839
Speaker 1: I know you guys were defending Gable and everything earlier.

2544
02:03:48,240 --> 02:03:49,880
Speaker 1: May I get I'm not saying the play calls it

2545
02:03:50,000 --> 02:03:53,280
Speaker 1: horrible or anything. What I don't understand is like we

2546
02:03:53,280 --> 02:03:56,600
Speaker 1: we shipped off lastraw McCoy and you know we're comfortable

2547
02:03:56,600 --> 02:04:00,200
Speaker 1: with Singletary and Gore. But like what McDermott called the

2548
02:04:00,240 --> 02:04:02,800
Speaker 1: momentum swing at the end of the first half, Like,

2549
02:04:02,840 --> 02:04:04,760
Speaker 1: why don't you want to give that to Gore? There?

2550
02:04:04,800 --> 02:04:06,560
Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Well, yeah, you can say

2551
02:04:06,600 --> 02:04:09,680
Speaker 1: that in hindsight, as we talked about with Chris Brown,

2552
02:04:09,720 --> 02:04:12,200
Speaker 1: they have had success with that play. They scored a

2553
02:04:12,240 --> 02:04:14,320
Speaker 1: touchdown with that play in one of the first two

2554
02:04:14,360 --> 02:04:17,280
Speaker 1: games of the season. Sam, Sam, It's an important part

2555
02:04:17,280 --> 02:04:21,000
Speaker 1: of their offense, Josh Allen running the ball. It's as

2556
02:04:22,040 --> 02:04:24,120
Speaker 1: they run it every play they runned every week and

2557
02:04:24,120 --> 02:04:26,720
Speaker 1: it's been successful every nobody stopped it. Yet in fact,

2558
02:04:26,760 --> 02:04:28,200
Speaker 1: the only way it was stopped the other day was

2559
02:04:28,200 --> 02:04:30,480
Speaker 1: because Josh dropped the ball on the ground. And that's

2560
02:04:30,480 --> 02:04:33,320
Speaker 1: a go to short yardage play that they run every

2561
02:04:33,360 --> 02:04:36,480
Speaker 1: single week. I mean, I get it. It wasn't successful.

2562
02:04:37,880 --> 02:04:41,240
Speaker 1: You're gonna blame the play call on a play where

2563
02:04:41,320 --> 02:04:44,640
Speaker 1: Josh fumbled it? Well no, well, I mean you could

2564
02:04:44,640 --> 02:04:45,800
Speaker 1: have been a boy. I mean, do you think Frank

2565
02:04:45,840 --> 02:04:48,280
Speaker 1: Gore fumbles that ball? What if he if he fumbles

2566
02:04:48,280 --> 02:04:50,000
Speaker 1: that they pick it up and score on it right there.

2567
02:04:50,040 --> 02:04:52,240
Speaker 1: I mean it could have been I mean, that's the unpredicted.

2568
02:04:52,600 --> 02:04:55,680
Speaker 1: Nobody can't I get what you're saying. I mean, eleven

2569
02:04:55,760 --> 02:04:58,240
Speaker 1: carries for the backs throughout the day and Josh Allen

2570
02:04:58,320 --> 02:05:00,000
Speaker 1: is still coming in almost one or number one, one one

2571
02:05:00,120 --> 02:05:02,520
Speaker 1: and number two like that. Just counter and tutor. How

2572
02:05:02,560 --> 02:05:05,360
Speaker 1: I think our teams dope Like we gotta give our defense,

2573
02:05:05,480 --> 02:05:07,280
Speaker 1: you know, give him a break, give them some stuff

2574
02:05:07,320 --> 02:05:09,960
Speaker 1: where they fend, but don't break. Give them those long

2575
02:05:10,040 --> 02:05:12,280
Speaker 1: fields as the offense has to drop, does it? What

2576
02:05:12,360 --> 02:05:14,400
Speaker 1: does get ben? But don't break. That means you don't

2577
02:05:14,400 --> 02:05:17,080
Speaker 1: want to give the I mean you're staying on the

2578
02:05:17,080 --> 02:05:18,680
Speaker 1: They're trying to get a first down. It's not like

2579
02:05:18,720 --> 02:05:21,800
Speaker 1: they threw It's not like they threw it for you know,

2580
02:05:21,960 --> 02:05:23,880
Speaker 1: took a deep shot on a third and two. They're

2581
02:05:23,880 --> 02:05:25,680
Speaker 1: gonna pick up the first down. Stay on the field.

2582
02:05:26,120 --> 02:05:28,440
Speaker 1: I mean they were that. They had just put together

2583
02:05:28,480 --> 02:05:31,080
Speaker 1: a nice drive. They ended up with Cole Beasley rout

2584
02:05:31,240 --> 02:05:33,920
Speaker 1: walking into the end zone. They came back, started in.

2585
02:05:33,960 --> 02:05:36,240
Speaker 1: They were gonna got a third and two, which is

2586
02:05:36,320 --> 02:05:38,920
Speaker 1: right on schedule. They're gonna run the play that they

2587
02:05:39,000 --> 02:05:42,920
Speaker 1: run so successfully against everybody and pick up a two

2588
02:05:43,040 --> 02:05:46,120
Speaker 1: yard first down. Stay on the field, and let's go

2589
02:05:46,400 --> 02:05:48,000
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden they coughs it up. And

2590
02:05:48,040 --> 02:05:49,960
Speaker 1: I'll tell you this too. They bounced back pretty well

2591
02:05:50,000 --> 02:05:52,920
Speaker 1: because they got the ball with like what uh twenty

2592
02:05:52,960 --> 02:05:56,160
Speaker 1: five seconds left and a half. They got down the

2593
02:05:56,160 --> 02:05:59,560
Speaker 1: field after the penalty. Wow. They got down the field

2594
02:05:59,560 --> 02:06:04,280
Speaker 1: on the kickoff after the kickoff and got into range

2595
02:06:04,280 --> 02:06:06,600
Speaker 1: for a field goal with like two seconds on the clock.

2596
02:06:06,760 --> 02:06:09,280
Speaker 1: Of course it was missed by Haushka, but man, they

2597
02:06:09,440 --> 02:06:11,640
Speaker 1: managed the clock right at the end of the half perfectly.

2598
02:06:11,760 --> 02:06:14,560
Speaker 1: Josh rushed, rushed for the first down, got him in

2599
02:06:14,600 --> 02:06:17,000
Speaker 1: a field goal range, took and you know, gave himself up,

2600
02:06:17,080 --> 02:06:19,280
Speaker 1: came up, called the time out with two seconds. All

2601
02:06:19,280 --> 02:06:23,000
Speaker 1: that stuff goes into it. But man, oh man, that

2602
02:06:23,000 --> 02:06:27,120
Speaker 1: that quarterback sweep is the most protected, risk free and

2603
02:06:27,160 --> 02:06:29,880
Speaker 1: that's the ranging to run it two. It's risk free exchange,

2604
02:06:30,000 --> 02:06:33,480
Speaker 1: there's no exchange. You tuck it up, put your head down,

2605
02:06:33,640 --> 02:06:35,600
Speaker 1: fall forward for a first down, and you stay on

2606
02:06:35,640 --> 02:06:38,240
Speaker 1: the field and you grind it out. That's the most

2607
02:06:38,480 --> 02:06:42,400
Speaker 1: low risk play in the playbook. It's like a quarterback sneak.

2608
02:06:43,240 --> 02:06:46,480
Speaker 1: It's like nothing. It was a difficult loss yesterday, and

2609
02:06:46,480 --> 02:06:49,720
Speaker 1: I mentioned it's sobering and some of the things that

2610
02:06:49,760 --> 02:06:51,560
Speaker 1: you thought you could rely on this season for the

2611
02:06:51,600 --> 02:06:55,160
Speaker 1: Bills fell way short yesterday, most notably the defense. The

2612
02:06:55,240 --> 02:07:00,640
Speaker 1: offense continues to underperform, but everything's not wrong. The play

2613
02:07:00,640 --> 02:07:02,960
Speaker 1: calling is not wrong. The play calling that was strong

2614
02:07:03,000 --> 02:07:06,360
Speaker 1: earlier this year remains where it is some good, some bad,

2615
02:07:06,480 --> 02:07:10,080
Speaker 1: and not the deciding factor in yesterday's game. I just

2616
02:07:10,160 --> 02:07:12,440
Speaker 1: it shakes me up when people just blame the offensive

2617
02:07:12,480 --> 02:07:15,800
Speaker 1: coordinator for calling the most conservative play in the playbook

2618
02:07:15,800 --> 02:07:18,720
Speaker 1: and having it coughed up and go the other way. Now,

2619
02:07:18,760 --> 02:07:21,720
Speaker 1: it's like his whole game plan is like that. He's

2620
02:07:21,720 --> 02:07:25,520
Speaker 1: always been bad and he's been unsuccessful as an offensive coordination.

2621
02:07:25,680 --> 02:07:27,840
Speaker 1: Let's get to David and Brockport. Hello, David, go ahead,

2622
02:07:27,880 --> 02:07:31,560
Speaker 1: you're on the air. Hi, Murphus Steve, Hi, I only

2623
02:07:31,600 --> 02:07:36,760
Speaker 1: have positive stuff to say. And um, thanks for listening

2624
02:07:36,800 --> 02:07:41,600
Speaker 1: to me Friday. Um Josh Allen was sliding sliding with

2625
02:07:41,760 --> 02:07:48,360
Speaker 1: his feet much better yesterday, yep. And and also um,

2626
02:07:48,440 --> 02:07:52,440
Speaker 1: Devin singer Terry Um is coming back from an injury

2627
02:07:52,680 --> 02:07:54,560
Speaker 1: and that's why he only got nine touches and he

2628
02:07:54,600 --> 02:07:59,400
Speaker 1: did very well, I think, And uh, next four games

2629
02:07:59,840 --> 02:08:07,320
Speaker 1: is against losing teams. That's most likely for wins. Let's

2630
02:08:07,360 --> 02:08:11,680
Speaker 1: see what the names are saying after that. Okay, probably yeah.

2631
02:08:11,680 --> 02:08:14,360
Speaker 1: And here's the thing, and I appreciate it, Dave, that

2632
02:08:14,440 --> 02:08:17,560
Speaker 1: is a positive call. But that's what they're saying today.

2633
02:08:17,600 --> 02:08:20,080
Speaker 1: The Bills aren't very good because they play nobody and

2634
02:08:20,120 --> 02:08:22,560
Speaker 1: they beat bad teams, so they can't beat to get

2635
02:08:22,560 --> 02:08:24,320
Speaker 1: good teams. So what's it matter when they get in

2636
02:08:24,400 --> 02:08:26,880
Speaker 1: the playoffs where everybody's a pretty good team and they're

2637
02:08:26,920 --> 02:08:29,040
Speaker 1: gonna get you know, tossed pretty quickly. I mean, that's

2638
02:08:29,080 --> 02:08:32,120
Speaker 1: what they're saying. The Bills are making hay against bad teams.

2639
02:08:32,200 --> 02:08:36,120
Speaker 1: I think they're better than that. Despite what yesterday looked like.

2640
02:08:36,560 --> 02:08:39,520
Speaker 1: I think the Eagles gave had one of their best

2641
02:08:39,640 --> 02:08:41,840
Speaker 1: games of the season and they took it to the

2642
02:08:41,880 --> 02:08:44,520
Speaker 1: Bills on a game where the Bills weren't their best.

2643
02:08:44,640 --> 02:08:47,920
Speaker 1: And credit the Eagles for that. But you know, I'm

2644
02:08:48,280 --> 02:08:52,760
Speaker 1: not gonna pin everything about the hopes and dreams of

2645
02:08:52,800 --> 02:08:55,840
Speaker 1: the Bills fans have for this club. I'm not gonna

2646
02:08:55,840 --> 02:08:58,440
Speaker 1: pin everything on what we saw yesterday. I think they've

2647
02:08:58,480 --> 02:09:01,280
Speaker 1: got better games in them, do the buff Bills, And

2648
02:09:01,320 --> 02:09:02,880
Speaker 1: I think we're gonna see it. And I think they

2649
02:09:02,920 --> 02:09:05,160
Speaker 1: probably have games like the one we saw yesterday in them.

2650
02:09:05,640 --> 02:09:07,880
Speaker 1: We may see one of those down the stretch as well.

2651
02:09:08,240 --> 02:09:09,960
Speaker 1: This is a it's a week to week league, and

2652
02:09:10,000 --> 02:09:11,920
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna get too caught up in the fact

2653
02:09:11,920 --> 02:09:15,720
Speaker 1: they lost a bad one yesterday. In the fact, accepted

2654
02:09:15,720 --> 02:09:17,160
Speaker 1: in the fact that there's a lot they can learn

2655
02:09:17,200 --> 02:09:19,800
Speaker 1: from it, and I expect them to do that. Hey, well,

2656
02:09:19,880 --> 02:09:21,520
Speaker 1: let me take this call. The caller is gonna ask

2657
02:09:21,520 --> 02:09:23,440
Speaker 1: something I was gonna kind of wrap with here today.

2658
02:09:23,480 --> 02:09:26,160
Speaker 1: Steve Ray, You're on the line, Go ahead, how are

2659
02:09:26,160 --> 02:09:30,480
Speaker 1: you doing today? Guys? Okay, So basically my question was

2660
02:09:30,520 --> 02:09:36,680
Speaker 1: about trade scenarios. Obviously, apportion the trade deadline, so obviously

2661
02:09:36,720 --> 02:09:44,160
Speaker 1: with the Harrison Phillips injury and also with the stacked

2662
02:09:45,040 --> 02:09:48,240
Speaker 1: running back scenario that the Bills have been trying to

2663
02:09:48,480 --> 02:09:51,480
Speaker 1: situate since the beginning of the season, and also I'm

2664
02:09:51,560 --> 02:09:54,360
Speaker 1: needing somebody on the other side of John Brown. What

2665
02:09:54,440 --> 02:09:56,680
Speaker 1: do you think the guys in the front office are

2666
02:09:56,720 --> 02:09:58,800
Speaker 1: going to do apportion the deadline for the trade. I'd

2667
02:09:58,800 --> 02:10:00,240
Speaker 1: just be guessing, Steve, if you want to throw a

2668
02:10:00,240 --> 02:10:02,200
Speaker 1: few guys out there, I don't even want to guess

2669
02:10:02,320 --> 02:10:05,960
Speaker 1: what position group no question. I think it's and believe me,

2670
02:10:06,040 --> 02:10:09,480
Speaker 1: for whatever we saw yesterday and the defensive line, offensive line,

2671
02:10:09,800 --> 02:10:13,400
Speaker 1: whether they were overmatched or undermatched, or whether we didn't

2672
02:10:13,440 --> 02:10:16,000
Speaker 1: have the personnel or enough guys to roll through on

2673
02:10:16,040 --> 02:10:20,280
Speaker 1: the defensive line or on the offensive line. The Bills

2674
02:10:20,320 --> 02:10:23,880
Speaker 1: coaching staff has known about it for weeks. I mean,

2675
02:10:23,920 --> 02:10:28,120
Speaker 1: they see it before it manifests itself to the rest

2676
02:10:28,120 --> 02:10:31,760
Speaker 1: of us on game day. So they've probably had conversations

2677
02:10:31,840 --> 02:10:34,600
Speaker 1: like this already. They know that there are guys on

2678
02:10:34,640 --> 02:10:38,480
Speaker 1: their team, or if there are which guys on their team,

2679
02:10:38,920 --> 02:10:41,600
Speaker 1: are guys that they need to play better, or they

2680
02:10:41,640 --> 02:10:45,520
Speaker 1: need to play differently, or they need to change. And

2681
02:10:45,800 --> 02:10:48,000
Speaker 1: you can expect that when these trades happen, we're going

2682
02:10:48,040 --> 02:10:49,840
Speaker 1: to get a very clear picture of what the Bill's

2683
02:10:49,880 --> 02:10:51,920
Speaker 1: coaching staff has been looking at. There are I think

2684
02:10:51,960 --> 02:10:54,240
Speaker 1: you can bet that they if they do make a trade,

2685
02:10:55,880 --> 02:10:57,960
Speaker 1: it's gonna be one that they've spoken about for a

2686
02:10:58,000 --> 02:11:00,400
Speaker 1: long time. There are reports out there, I guess ESPN

2687
02:11:00,440 --> 02:11:02,480
Speaker 1: reporting that the Bills and Lions have an interest in

2688
02:11:02,520 --> 02:11:06,560
Speaker 1: acquiring running back Melvin Gordon in a trade. That'd be interesting, Yeah,

2689
02:11:06,600 --> 02:11:08,920
Speaker 1: I would, and as much as confused as I have

2690
02:11:09,000 --> 02:11:13,480
Speaker 1: been over the portionment of snaps and carries between Gore

2691
02:11:13,880 --> 02:11:16,680
Speaker 1: and Devin Secletary to this point. I'd be even more

2692
02:11:16,680 --> 02:11:18,760
Speaker 1: confused if Melvin Gordon this year, but I wouldn't rule

2693
02:11:18,800 --> 02:11:20,680
Speaker 1: anything out. I spoke to Tom to LESCo at the

2694
02:11:20,720 --> 02:11:23,800
Speaker 1: Northwestern game yesterday. He was general manager of the San

2695
02:11:23,840 --> 02:11:25,560
Speaker 1: Diego Chargers. Did he tell you to look out for

2696
02:11:25,640 --> 02:11:28,520
Speaker 1: Melvin Gordon? He said he didn't understand what Melvin was doing,

2697
02:11:29,240 --> 02:11:31,560
Speaker 1: not coming into play, and now that it's taken him

2698
02:11:31,680 --> 02:11:35,480
Speaker 1: some time to get acclimated, get back in the offense. Interesting. Interesting,

2699
02:11:35,480 --> 02:11:37,880
Speaker 1: It is interesting. A breakcare, We're coming back. One Bill's

Speaker 1: and we asked him to the Bills need to make

2706
02:12:07,560 --> 02:12:10,120
Speaker 1: a move before tomorrow's four pm trade deadline. Here's what

2707
02:12:10,360 --> 02:12:14,520
Speaker 1: Eric thinks the way the Bills value their draft picks.

2708
02:12:14,920 --> 02:12:17,640
Speaker 1: I don't see them getting some top notch guy I

2709
02:12:17,640 --> 02:12:20,720
Speaker 1: don't see them getting an aj Green type. Could they

2710
02:12:20,760 --> 02:12:23,680
Speaker 1: add a piece at the deadline, maybe some depth on

2711
02:12:23,720 --> 02:12:26,680
Speaker 1: the offense or defensive line at a cheaper price, potentially.

2712
02:12:27,320 --> 02:12:30,080
Speaker 1: I don't think it's a must at this point, you know,

2713
02:12:31,240 --> 02:12:34,360
Speaker 1: But you know, I think in knowing Brandon Being and

2714
02:12:34,400 --> 02:12:37,480
Speaker 1: his staff, they are always looking to upgrade the roster

2715
02:12:37,800 --> 02:12:41,320
Speaker 1: anyway they can throughout the season. I don't know the numbers,

2716
02:12:41,320 --> 02:12:43,320
Speaker 1: and I knows for a fact, but they got to

2717
02:12:43,400 --> 02:12:45,640
Speaker 1: work out. They work out more guys than any other

2718
02:12:45,800 --> 02:12:50,400
Speaker 1: regime I was here. They're constantly evaluating what's out there,

2719
02:12:50,640 --> 02:12:54,960
Speaker 1: and so would it surprise me? Know. Also on the

2720
02:12:54,960 --> 02:12:57,640
Speaker 1: show today, Chris Brown Bills inside a Buffalo bills dot Com.

2721
02:12:57,720 --> 02:13:00,800
Speaker 1: A lot of discussion among callers and fans today about

2722
02:13:00,800 --> 02:13:03,680
Speaker 1: play calling. Chris Brown says it really wasn't a problem

2723
02:13:03,760 --> 02:13:05,440
Speaker 1: yesterday and the loss of the Eagles. He thought it

2724
02:13:05,480 --> 02:13:09,560
Speaker 1: was more on execution. Finishing the game with ten straight

2725
02:13:09,600 --> 02:13:11,160
Speaker 1: incompletions is not a way to come back in a

2726
02:13:11,160 --> 02:13:15,200
Speaker 1: football game. And you know, to me, it's an execution

2727
02:13:15,280 --> 02:13:17,480
Speaker 1: thing though more than anything else. The players did not

2728
02:13:17,680 --> 02:13:20,800
Speaker 1: execute the plays that were called, so you can argue

2729
02:13:21,040 --> 02:13:22,760
Speaker 1: they should have run more you could you want to

2730
02:13:22,840 --> 02:13:25,080
Speaker 1: argue that they that you want to use singletary more

2731
02:13:25,080 --> 02:13:27,400
Speaker 1: in the game plan. Now, I'll listen to that, because

2732
02:13:27,440 --> 02:13:29,760
Speaker 1: I think he's been productive enough in the little bit

2733
02:13:29,800 --> 02:13:31,640
Speaker 1: of time that he's had his hands on the football

2734
02:13:32,160 --> 02:13:34,520
Speaker 1: to be deserving of more time with the ball in

2735
02:13:34,520 --> 02:13:37,400
Speaker 1: his hand. Zeem Tasker. Twenty five hours away to the

2736
02:13:37,440 --> 02:13:39,880
Speaker 1: trade deadline. What's the chance the Bills make a trade.

2737
02:13:39,920 --> 02:13:44,880
Speaker 1: I'm gonna put it at thirty five percent. Okay, okay,

2738
02:13:48,240 --> 02:13:49,920
Speaker 1: all right, Hey we're gonna have a partner. I think

2739
02:13:49,920 --> 02:13:52,600
Speaker 1: that's the thing. Oh yeah, I'll find somebody. They'll see.
