1
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:35,280
Speaker 1: This is One Bills Live presented by Kalida Health.

2
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 2: All Right, welcome into a game day edition of One

3
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:47,280
Speaker 2: Bills Live. Here as we get set for one of

4
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 2: Steve's favorite NFL anthems, Monday Night Football between the Bills

5
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 2: and the Falcons. And we should remind everybody Steve that

6
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 2: this game is going to start earlier than the usual

7
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 2: Monday night football game because it is a double header.

8
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 2: Bears Commanders are the late game, Bills Falcons the early game,

9
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 2: kicking off at seven fifteen. So don't go to your

10
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:16,760
Speaker 2: television at eight to fifteen and say, why are they

11
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 2: already through the first quarter?

12
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:20,279
Speaker 3: What the heck happened? You'll know why.

13
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:23,400
Speaker 4: Yep. I kind of like it. I gotta be honest.

14
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 3: Oh, I don't mind it. I'm getting hold of an

15
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:26,560
Speaker 3: hour earlier.

16
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean the eight to fifteen starts always tough

17
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 4: on the East Coast, you know, But yeah, it'll be good.

18
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 4: I'm I'm all about it. This is uh. I've been

19
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 4: watching a little bit of the Falcons and getting ready

20
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:44,680
Speaker 4: for what they're gonna do, and yeah, they're It's amazing

21
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 4: when you watch a team like the Falcons after having

22
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 4: watched the Bills and you just see the subtleties of

23
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 4: the differences in execution, the outcome of plays. You just think, well, gosh,

24
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 4: our quarterback, wouldn't it done that kind of thing. So

25
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 4: much of watching other teams play other than the one

26
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 4: you really root for all the time, you really get

27
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:12,959
Speaker 4: a sense, excuse me, you get a sense of how

28
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 4: they're how vastly different they are, and what this like.

29
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 4: The Falcons have much different strengths and weaknesses than the

30
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:20,360
Speaker 4: Bills do. Now the Bills are, you know, they're a

31
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 4: strong team and all that, but it's fun for me

32
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 4: to you know, you try and compare them in your

33
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 4: own mind. You got to play this game out. You

34
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:29,800
Speaker 4: try and play the game out before the game. And

35
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 4: it's it's fun to watch and scout, you know, do

36
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:36,360
Speaker 4: your own little, my little you know, pathetic scouting report

37
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:37,519
Speaker 4: by watching this team.

38
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:41,079
Speaker 2: Yeah, the more i've I've had the chance to watch

39
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 2: about three of their four games so far, and I

40
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 2: watched the thirty to nothing drubbing that they had at

41
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 2: the hands of the Carolina Panthers. I watched them lose

42
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 2: in the last second to the Tampa Bay Bucks in

43
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:58,800
Speaker 2: Week one due to a missfield goal, which cost Young

44
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 2: Ho who is job. And then I watched their game

45
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 2: against the Commanders right before thereby this past week, and

46
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 2: they certainly have the talent to put it all.

47
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 3: Together and play, particularly on offense.

48
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 2: But for some reason, they don't look like they play

49
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 2: as an eleven man unit all the time.

50
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 3: It's really weird.

51
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:25,799
Speaker 2: I haven't been able to put my finger onto.

52
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:25,920
Speaker 3: Why that is.

53
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:29,920
Speaker 2: But I'm watching them play and I'm sitting there going

54
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 2: there's something missing here.

55
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I can't figure out what the heck it is.

56
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 4: Because they'll look good, you know, Bjon Robinson can really play.

57
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 4: He's a really good player. Pinis. He's a lefty, but

58
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 4: he spends it. Really, I've got a live arm, you know. Pitts,

59
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 4: Kyle Pitts is a big rangy athlete. I mean, he's

60
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 4: an unbelievable physical specimen at tight end. Drake London, I mean,

61
00:03:56,760 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 4: they got some guys, you know, their offensive line, they're

62
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 4: running game their offensive line. I mean they play well,

63
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 4: and you're right, Brownie, there just seems to be some

64
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 4: hidden ingredient missing that allows them to hit on all

65
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:16,159
Speaker 4: cylinders enough to play really well. I can't put my

66
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 4: finger on it.

67
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know if it's that they don't sweat

68
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:22,720
Speaker 2: all the details. I don't know if it's that they're

69
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 2: just not consistent enough because it is a new offensive

70
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:30,479
Speaker 2: scheme for them under Zach Robinson. Yeah, I'm having trouble

71
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:32,919
Speaker 2: putting my finger on it. And we'll talk to Lewis

72
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 2: Ridick in the second hour of the show, who's doing

73
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 2: the game on the ESPN side of the Ledger with

74
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 2: Dan Orlovski and Chris Fowler tonight. He'll be in the building,

75
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 2: but he's been preparing for this game much like we have,

76
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 2: so it'll be interesting to get his perspective on it.

77
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 2: Here's the good news concerning some of the Bill's notes

78
00:04:55,760 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 2: for tonight's game and Bill's practice updates are presented by

79
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 2: Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine, and first and foremost,

80
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 2: at Oliver is good to go for tonight's game, even

81
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,479
Speaker 2: though he did tell some reporters his ankle isn't quite

82
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 2: one hundred percent, but he has no designation on the

83
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:19,479
Speaker 2: injury report and will make his first appearance since week

84
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:22,039
Speaker 2: one tonight. I was most encouraged by the fact that

85
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 2: he had a full practice on Saturday for the first time,

86
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:28,039
Speaker 2: which was probably a good sign at the end of

87
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:30,359
Speaker 2: the week that he went full came through it fine.

88
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 2: Has no injury designation for that ankle, so he's good

89
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 2: to go.

90
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:36,159
Speaker 3: Dorian Williams also back.

91
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 2: In the lineup as he returns from a knee injury

92
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 2: that kept him out of last week's game, so he's

93
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 2: expected to start tonight with Matt Mulano out. Milano reaggravated

94
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 2: the peck injury in last week's game, didn't finish the game,

95
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,720
Speaker 2: and is out this week. Coach McDermott earlier this week

96
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:56,840
Speaker 2: called him week to week with that injury, in case

97
00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:00,280
Speaker 2: you were out enjoying your leisure time over the weeknd.

98
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 2: With no Bills game, DeMar Hamlin and TJ. Sanders were

99
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:08,840
Speaker 2: put on injured reserve with peck and knee injuries, respectively.

100
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 2: They will miss at least the next four games counting tonight.

101
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:17,360
Speaker 2: Dalton Kincaid Curtis Samuel listed as questionable for tonight's game

102
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:22,479
Speaker 2: with oblique and neck and rib injuries respectively. We'll also

103
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 2: find out later this afternoon if there are any practice

104
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:30,039
Speaker 2: squad elevations. Those should come down right after we're off

105
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 2: the air. I believe it's four hours before the game

106
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:35,799
Speaker 2: where they usually see those come down on a Monday

107
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:39,719
Speaker 2: night or a Sunday night game, So we'll expect those

108
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 2: probably somewhere in the three o'clock.

109
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:43,719
Speaker 4: It'll come on.

110
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 3: That's right.

111
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:46,600
Speaker 4: They'll have it in the pregame for sure, if you

112
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:48,119
Speaker 4: guys get started with that down there.

113
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 2: I mean, they've been down at least one defensive tackle

114
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:55,599
Speaker 2: almost every week with the exception of Week one, and

115
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 2: they've elevated one every week.

116
00:06:58,000 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 3: So without TJ.

117
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 2: Sanders, who's now on IR, I think we should anticipate

118
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 2: probably a practice squad elevation.

119
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 4: There was probably going to come an hour earlier because

120
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 4: of the seven to fifteen start as well, so we

121
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 4: may there's a chance they may put it out an

122
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 4: hour earlier or something like that, you know what I mean.

123
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 4: So I don't know what the rule is. I think

124
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 4: it's like four hours before game time.

125
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's four, so that's fifteenth.

126
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 4: There's a chance I could put it out at two

127
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 4: thirty or so because the Yeos hold at twenty minutes.

128
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, so we'll wait and see on that.

129
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 2: And like I said, I think there's a chance you

130
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:37,840
Speaker 2: could see a defensive tackle elevated with DeMar Hamlin on

131
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 2: ir to Steve, We're probably also going to see a

132
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 2: lot more of Jordan Hancock, who will be active tonight

133
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 2: and presumably at the very least be playing on the

134
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 2: special teams units. I know a lot of fans are

135
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 2: eager to see him play some more after he flashed

136
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 2: in the preseason but then sustained the shoulder injury which

137
00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 2: kind of compromised his availability at the beginning of the season.

138
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 2: I think people are looking for him to come along

139
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 2: a little bit as the season wears on. It looks

140
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 2: like he'll get that opportunity tonight, so all things to

141
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 2: look forward to.

142
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 4: You wouldn't it be nice if Jordan Hancock splashed big tonight.

143
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 4: Let's go, oh.

144
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 2: Get a forced fumble on a kick return or something

145
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 2: like somebody else I know that did that a.

146
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 4: Lot, come in play, whatever, get on the field as

147
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 4: a defender too, something, you know.

148
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe in a dime package, yeah, yeah, whatever.

149
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, it would be nice because the defensive backfield has

150
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:35,960
Speaker 4: just been Oh it's in tatters. Yeah.

151
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 2: They can't seem to get everybody healthy at the same

152
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:45,960
Speaker 2: time for whatever reason. As for the Falcons, Darnell Mooney

153
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 2: is probably the most important absence for the Falcons. He

154
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 2: is out as he's still not recovered from the hamstring

155
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 2: injury that he suffered against the He suffered that in

156
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:03,319
Speaker 2: Week four, so he had the bye last week and

157
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:05,720
Speaker 2: was limited in practice all this week. Still not good

158
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:09,320
Speaker 2: enough to play, so he is out, along with a

159
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 2: couple of reserve defensive players Clark Phillips, the reserve defensive

160
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 2: back in Lacale London the reserve defensive lineman. Those guys

161
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 2: are both out for this game as well and then questionable.

162
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 2: This is an interesting questionable Steve. We'll have to keep

163
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 2: an eye on this as we get closer to the

164
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 2: inactives being released an hour and a half before game time.

165
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 2: But their starting nickel corner Billy Bowman is questionable, so

166
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:39,680
Speaker 2: we'll have to see if he suits up for tonight's game,

167
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 2: because if he does not, I believe his backup is

168
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:47,280
Speaker 2: Natron Brooks, who is also questionable after he suffered a

169
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 2: really bad concussion in the Week four game. I don't

170
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 2: know if you saw that he had then he got

171
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:55,720
Speaker 2: knocked out on the field. He got up and he

172
00:09:55,760 --> 00:10:00,160
Speaker 2: started running again right like he thought the play was

173
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:00,559
Speaker 2: still going.

174
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:02,319
Speaker 3: When he woke up it was. It was a little

175
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:03,240
Speaker 3: freaky to see that.

176
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 2: So he's questionable also, so they could be really shorthanded

177
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 2: the nickel corner spot. If Bowman's out and Brooks can't

178
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 2: co either, they're both questionable tonight.

179
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:12,840
Speaker 5: Yeah.

180
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:15,080
Speaker 4: I mean you look at it's amazing you look at

181
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:17,680
Speaker 4: their injury and I'm looking at the right injury report

182
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 4: here week six three, yeah, six nine, twelve. Fifteen guys

183
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 4: on the Atlanta Falcons injury report. Now there's only three one, two, three, four,

184
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 4: five guys who did not press, six guys who didn't practice.

185
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 4: Everybody else is limited and there's a couple of guys

186
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 4: who are full. But fifteen guys listened on the injury

187
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:39,679
Speaker 4: report this week, Yeah, off and on.

188
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:42,120
Speaker 2: More than half of them have no designation, so they're

189
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:46,199
Speaker 2: good enough to play tonight. Like AJ Terrell, their top corner.

190
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:49,440
Speaker 2: AJ Terrell is gonna play and return to the lineup.

191
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:51,720
Speaker 2: I think he missed the Week four game for them.

192
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's those guys like in the lineup, Caden Ellis,

193
00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:58,439
Speaker 4: Jake Matthews, Leonard Floyd on you. Yeah, they're all good,

194
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 4: Tony Mida, Yeah, all those guys are just taking veteran

195
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 4: days during the week, so they were all fine, but

196
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:09,439
Speaker 4: still it's it's that time of year. It's all hands

197
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:11,320
Speaker 4: on deck. If you can play, you gotta be out there.

198
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's go around the NFL presented by Kalida Healthy,

199
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:19,839
Speaker 2: official healthcare system of the Buffalo Bills, and last night,

200
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 2: the Chiefs improved to three and three on the season

201
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 2: with their thirty to seventeen went over the Lions on

202
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:27,319
Speaker 2: Sunday Night Football. There was a little dust up after

203
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 2: the game as Lions safety Brian Branch delivered an open

204
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:32,880
Speaker 2: hand strike to the head of Juju smith Schuster. He

205
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 2: still had his helmet on, but Branch was frustrated that

206
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 2: smith Schuster had blocked him in the back on a

207
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 2: play late in the game and it wasn't called. Branch

208
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 2: said after the game he shouldn't have done it, but

209
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 2: he's likely to be facing a hef define possibly a

210
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:48,720
Speaker 2: one game suspension as well.

211
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:52,960
Speaker 3: Not that Branch isn't wrong about the no flag thing.

212
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 2: Kansas City did not get a single assessed penalty in

213
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:02,079
Speaker 2: the game, despite averaging eight penalties a game through their

214
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:03,679
Speaker 2: first five games this season.

215
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 3: Make of that what you will, Steve.

216
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 4: I make of it that they're getting preferential treatment. Is

217
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 4: that what you want me to say?

218
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:12,719
Speaker 3: I don't know.

219
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 4: I've never say, Oh you you can say what I

220
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 4: was saying. You could say that it seems.

221
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:19,200
Speaker 3: Home field advantage.

222
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 4: It has been a narrative that has followed this cheap

223
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 4: iteration of the chiefs around for what Brownie five years?

224
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 4: At least five years.

225
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:32,640
Speaker 2: Now, now we we have we as as Bill's followers

226
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:36,680
Speaker 2: have witnessed, when it has worked against them. The Kadarius

227
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:40,079
Speaker 2: Tony off sides penalty that you worked.

228
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 4: Against him, as in wait worked against him, as in

229
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 4: calling a penalty that was actually a penalty that works

230
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 4: against him. That's right, Okay, that's like it does for

231
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 4: everybody else. I get it.

232
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm just trying to make it look.

233
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:54,839
Speaker 4: Guy lines off six inches off sides and all of

234
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 4: a sudden, the world, the whole universe is against them. Yeah.

235
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 2: Well, now they know what it's like to not have

236
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:04,880
Speaker 2: a call going their favor. So all the calls went

237
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 2: in their favor last night. Is they did not have

238
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 2: a single penalty assessed against them.

239
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 3: That is like, I'm sure there were some.

240
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 2: There were probably a couple thrown, Maybe there were some

241
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 2: that were declined.

242
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 3: I didn't pay that close attention.

243
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 2: I just saw at the end of the game on

244
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:26,640
Speaker 2: the stat sheet zero penalties.

245
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 3: So it's the first time I think in over thirty years.

246
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:33,560
Speaker 2: That it's happened to a football team, So it's pretty rare.

247
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 2: As I said, make of it what you will, uh.

248
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:41,200
Speaker 2: The Indianapolis Colts improved to five and one after missing

249
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 2: the postseason last year. In thirty five of the past

250
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:47,599
Speaker 2: thirty six seasons, at least one team that missed the

251
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 2: playoffs the year before has won at least five of

252
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 2: its first six games the following season, and the Colts

253
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 2: seem well on their way to being in contention for

254
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:00,959
Speaker 2: the AFC South Division. There's a lot of football left

255
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:03,439
Speaker 2: and there probably will be a race between them and

256
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:07,559
Speaker 2: the Jags, but the Jags are trailing right now, and

257
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 2: we'll see how that race comes down and if Houston

258
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:12,720
Speaker 2: has anything to say about it. After kind of righting

259
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:16,600
Speaker 2: the ship offensively for them after changing offensive play callers

260
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:18,120
Speaker 2: here early in the season.

261
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 3: Denver Broncos nine sacks.

262
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:24,680
Speaker 2: In their thirteen eleven victory over the New York Jets

263
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:27,800
Speaker 2: in London. Jets are now zero to six and Aaron

264
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 2: Glenn was accused after this one of playing not to lose,

265
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:35,120
Speaker 2: and you know what happens when you do that, Steve,

266
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 2: you usually lose.

267
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's uh, that's rough. You couldn't You can't imagine

268
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 4: a rougher start to the Jets season than they've had.

269
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 4: And you said it. There's been people who've watched that

270
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 4: team for a long time and says, this is as

271
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 4: bad as they have ever looked. Yeah, I think if

272
00:14:56,720 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 4: you've got an organization that has fled founded as long

273
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:05,520
Speaker 4: as the Jets have floundered, it's gonna take a minute,

274
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 4: and you're gonna have to go lower than you thought

275
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 4: you would have to. I mean, just because you get

276
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 4: everything start doing everything right doesn't make it all of

277
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 4: a sudden you're gonna start winning games automatically. So it

278
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:22,760
Speaker 4: takes a long time. I'm I would I'm interested. I

279
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 4: would really be interested to seeing what's going on in

280
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 4: that building now. I don't think there's any question. I

281
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:31,200
Speaker 4: don't know if Aaron Glenn has his staff exactly how

282
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 4: he wants it. We seem to be getting out maneuvered

283
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:41,800
Speaker 4: a little bit. He can fix that in this next offseason,

284
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 4: if he actually makes it to the offseason. I mean

285
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 4: I I can't imagine.

286
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 2: What are you gonna do if the Jets, the Jets

287
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:50,720
Speaker 2: are gonna go one and done with Aaron Glenn, what

288
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 2: are you doing?

289
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:54,080
Speaker 4: I can't see them doing that. That's a big and

290
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 4: I think that's a big mistake. The guy's a really

291
00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:00,440
Speaker 4: good coach, he's a really good leader. You've got to

292
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:04,080
Speaker 4: give him everything he needs to get it done his way,

293
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:07,240
Speaker 4: and if you don't, then it's your fault, not his.

294
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:11,160
Speaker 4: You've got it. You've got to support the guy until

295
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:17,200
Speaker 4: he figures it out. That's it. Yeah, it's not that hardy.

296
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:22,000
Speaker 4: It's not easy, but it's not hard. It's simple. Just

297
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:24,120
Speaker 4: do what the guy needs to have you do to

298
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:28,880
Speaker 4: support him, ask him, just tell He'll tell you. You know,

299
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 4: I'm telling you, man, I do They can't. They can't

300
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:35,920
Speaker 4: switch head coaches, Man, Brownie, they can't.

301
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:40,240
Speaker 3: Then again, there's the Jets.

302
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 4: You they can't.

303
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:44,640
Speaker 2: They are what do I tell you? They are the

304
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 2: masters of self sabotage. The Patriots improved to four and

305
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 2: two with a twenty five nineteen victory over the Saints.

306
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:55,640
Speaker 3: He May had three touchdown passes in the win.

307
00:16:56,600 --> 00:17:01,040
Speaker 2: Carolina running back Rico Doubtel went all off on his

308
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 2: former team, the Dallas Cowboys, totaled two hundred and thirty

309
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:09,240
Speaker 2: nine yards from scrimmage. It was a Panthers franchise single

310
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:13,440
Speaker 2: game record one hundred and eighty three yards rushing, fifty

311
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:17,480
Speaker 2: six receiving and a touchdown catch in the Panthers thirty

312
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:22,960
Speaker 2: twenty seven win over Dallas. Dowdell, who recorded two hundred

313
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:25,720
Speaker 2: thirty four scrimmage yards and a touchdown the week before,

314
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:28,920
Speaker 2: became the sixth running back in the Super Bowl era

315
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:31,680
Speaker 2: with at least two hundred and twenty five scrimmage yards

316
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:35,240
Speaker 2: and a touchdown in back to back games, joining Dalvin Cook,

317
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:40,280
Speaker 2: Le'Veon Bell, duce McAllister, and Hall of famers Marshall Fawk

318
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:44,680
Speaker 2: and Walter Payton. Steve, I've discovered this about the Cowboys.

319
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:50,399
Speaker 2: They can't stop anybody at all. So essentially, when you

320
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:55,159
Speaker 2: play the Cowboys, it's a race to thirty points. You

321
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:57,800
Speaker 2: can get to thirty points before them and get enough

322
00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 2: stops to hold them under thirty, you will win the game.

323
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:04,439
Speaker 4: Yeah, but they've got a pretty good offense though, Brownie,

324
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 4: they really do got so you got to get some stops.

325
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:10,840
Speaker 4: It's not just as easy as showing up Dallas, is

326
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 4: you know.

327
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:14,440
Speaker 3: They're wasting that offense.

328
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:17,960
Speaker 2: It is such a it's been out like the last

329
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:19,480
Speaker 2: two or three weeks.

330
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:27,560
Speaker 4: It's it has been cool to watch teams when they've

331
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:31,359
Speaker 4: got a player that should have a perceived chip on

332
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 4: his shoulder against the opponent. These teams man tap into it.

333
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:39,680
Speaker 4: Rico Dae traded from the Cowboys to Carolina. Give him

334
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:41,320
Speaker 4: the ball, let's go.

335
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:42,679
Speaker 3: Did they trade him?

336
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:43,200
Speaker 4: All right?

337
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 3: He was just signed him in free agency?

338
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 4: I got a check they well, Dallas refused to sign

339
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:49,960
Speaker 4: Dallas refused to sign him because they wanted to sign

340
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 4: Micah and then traded Micah. So Dawall said some stuff.

341
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 4: Dwell said some stuff in the week leading up to it,

342
00:18:57,359 --> 00:18:59,480
Speaker 4: said they better strap it on because I'm I'm coming

343
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:02,520
Speaker 4: for it. And by golly, he did good for him.

344
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:05,439
Speaker 4: I love that about I love that in football. If

345
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:06,960
Speaker 4: you got a guy with a chip on his shoulder,

346
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:08,240
Speaker 4: all right, man, let's go.

347
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:10,000
Speaker 3: We're giving you that.

348
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:13,880
Speaker 4: We're giving you the rock lead us. That's awesome, man.

349
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 4: Because I couldn't pick I got it, brownie. I couldn't

350
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 4: pick Rico Dawdle out of a lineup.

351
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:24,600
Speaker 2: I don't know the guy as a free agent one

352
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 2: year deal six million dollars.

353
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:33,640
Speaker 4: He couldn't get paid by Dallas, a team that drafted him, right, Yeah.

354
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:34,840
Speaker 3: I don't even know if he was drafted.

355
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:37,720
Speaker 4: I think he might have been undrafted Rico Daddle. I'll

356
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:40,280
Speaker 4: look it up. But I just love that man. I

357
00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:45,400
Speaker 4: absolutely love it. He's coming into the game. He said

358
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:48,800
Speaker 4: you better strap it on and then backed it up.

359
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:52,119
Speaker 4: That is awesome here it is.

360
00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:59,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, twenty Yeah, didn't get drafted, right, didn't I get drafted?

361
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:02,520
Speaker 4: How about me?

362
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 3: It's something man.

363
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 2: Meanwhile, in Miami, Dolphins quarterback to a Tongue of Iloa

364
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:14,439
Speaker 2: said the team has several little things to clean up

365
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:20,080
Speaker 2: following its one in five start, including attendance at players

366
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:24,400
Speaker 2: only meetings. Shortly after Miami's twenty nine to twenty seven

367
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 2: loss to the Chargers, in which they took the lead

368
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 2: twenty seven to twenty six with forty six seconds remaining,

369
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:35,160
Speaker 2: only to watch Justin Herbert and Ladd McConkie get them

370
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 2: in field goal range for a game winning field goal

371
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:41,200
Speaker 2: at the gun, was asked how players can refrain from

372
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:45,160
Speaker 2: feeling sorry for themselves. The Dolphins have now lost four

373
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:47,800
Speaker 2: games this season in which they trailed by one score

374
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 2: in the final two minutes, Tongue of Ioloa said, quote,

375
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:55,880
Speaker 2: I think it starts with the leadership in helping articulate

376
00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 2: that for the guys, and then what we're expecting out

377
00:20:59,080 --> 00:20:59,679
Speaker 2: of the guys.

378
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 3: We're expecting this, Are we getting that? Are we not

379
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:03,960
Speaker 3: getting that?

380
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:07,040
Speaker 2: We have guys showing up to players only meetings late,

381
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:10,080
Speaker 2: guys not showing up to players only meetings at all.

382
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:12,520
Speaker 2: There's a lot that goes into that. Do we have

383
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:15,080
Speaker 2: to make this mandatory? Do we not have to make

384
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:18,520
Speaker 2: this mandatory? If these are the questions you're asking, your

385
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:23,840
Speaker 2: season is already over. And we found out further details

386
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:28,360
Speaker 2: from some Miami reporters that were digging. They found out

387
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:33,199
Speaker 2: at the last player's only meeting there were fourteen players.

388
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:40,480
Speaker 4: Ah, are you kidding me? Yeah, I had not heard that, Brownie.

389
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 4: It's over.

390
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:44,200
Speaker 3: It's over. It is ok.

391
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:45,960
Speaker 4: And you know what, it was over a month ago.

392
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:48,240
Speaker 3: I mean maybe some others trickled in late.

393
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:51,879
Speaker 4: It was over. It was over. It was over a

394
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:55,600
Speaker 4: month ago, and today we found out about it. That's

395
00:21:55,640 --> 00:22:00,560
Speaker 4: it now, everybody knows it is over. Oh my gosh.

396
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:03,639
Speaker 4: They had a players only meeting and fourteen guys showed up.

397
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:10,240
Speaker 4: That is horrific.

398
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, so it's it's pretty bad. Nobody cares is pretty

399
00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:23,520
Speaker 2: much the answer there. And Steve and I discussed this

400
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 2: back in the spring. They were a top three team

401
00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:29,720
Speaker 2: to implode because they had guys showing up late to

402
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:33,360
Speaker 2: regular meetings with their position coaches. They would get fined

403
00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:35,159
Speaker 2: and then they turn around the next week and do

404
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 2: it again, Brownie, Like, what are they getting fined ten bucks?

405
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:40,359
Speaker 4: I might have to take your implosion bet off the

406
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:43,359
Speaker 4: board because when you said it in May and it

407
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:49,280
Speaker 4: already happened, Oh oh my god.

408
00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:51,119
Speaker 3: I was on the wall. That is.

409
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:55,879
Speaker 4: Yeah. Well there that they're done, I mean yeah, and

410
00:22:56,560 --> 00:23:00,800
Speaker 4: only meeting a players only meeting, there's sixty to nine

411
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:03,120
Speaker 4: players in the building. If they got sixteen at full

412
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:05,520
Speaker 4: practice squad, I should.

413
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:07,480
Speaker 2: Double check this because I want to make sure I

414
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:10,960
Speaker 2: have the facts correct. It's either it's either fourteen did

415
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:13,399
Speaker 2: not show or only fourteen showed up.

416
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:16,240
Speaker 3: I gotta check double check that. But either way, it's

417
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:16,800
Speaker 3: still bad.

418
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:23,160
Speaker 4: That's that is so bad. Either way, either way, it's

419
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:25,199
Speaker 4: not as bad with the fourteen that didn't show up.

420
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:29,680
Speaker 4: But if only fourteen guys showed up, yeah, that's that's like,

421
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:31,200
Speaker 4: like you don't show up for work the next day,

422
00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 4: just go home. It's over.

423
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:38,720
Speaker 3: Fourteen. If a lot of the players feel that way already.

424
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:43,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, that show that might be. That might be. Let

425
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:46,359
Speaker 4: me think, cause I've heard of I mean, there were fights.

426
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:48,920
Speaker 4: There were fist fights in the locker room during my day, right,

427
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:55,120
Speaker 4: I mean there was you know that stuff goes on, disagreements, fights, arguments, YadA, YadA, YadA.

428
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:56,280
Speaker 4: That may be the worst thing.

429
00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:59,520
Speaker 2: It looks like it's fourteen players that did not show up.

430
00:23:59,600 --> 00:23:59,920
Speaker 4: That may be.

431
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:02,360
Speaker 3: That may be several others that were late.

432
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:05,640
Speaker 4: That may be the worst thing I've ever heard. Fourteen

433
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:10,520
Speaker 4: guys that just didn't show up. Yeah, what were they doing?

434
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:13,359
Speaker 4: They and think about this, brownie. If they had a

435
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:16,199
Speaker 4: player's only meeting, it was during the regular hours that

436
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:18,560
Speaker 4: the team is like at the facility, right, they say, Hey,

437
00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:19,639
Speaker 4: we're gonna get together.

438
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:21,920
Speaker 3: And that I that I can't pretend.

439
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:24,360
Speaker 4: Well, that's almost got to be a given. That means

440
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:26,239
Speaker 4: they were in the building and decided not to show up.

441
00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 4: That's not like having to make a special trip for

442
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:32,439
Speaker 4: a team, meaning there, you're gonna be there anyway.

443
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:35,800
Speaker 2: And even so, it's not like you know, one or

444
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:39,160
Speaker 2: two boneheads on the team that just forgot it's it's

445
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:40,320
Speaker 2: fourteen dudes like.

446
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:47,200
Speaker 4: Sh you know, you get a guy like that. Yeah,

447
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:49,280
Speaker 4: that's that's so bad.

448
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:53,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, So we'll see if that can get corroborated. That's

449
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:57,600
Speaker 2: one person reporting that. In any event, we do have

450
00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:01,639
Speaker 2: to take a look at the standing in the AFC,

451
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:06,760
Speaker 2: the NFC for that matter, and that is brought to you,

452
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:11,639
Speaker 2: Steve by Stellar Roofing to find out who's raising the

453
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:17,040
Speaker 2: roof presented by Stellar Roofing. When quality counts, choose Stellar

454
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:21,719
Speaker 2: and just looking at this, Indianapolis in the top spot

455
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:25,720
Speaker 2: at five and one in the AFC, Pittsburgh behind them

456
00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:28,320
Speaker 2: at four and one, Buffalo then behind them at four

457
00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:31,320
Speaker 2: and one. Thanks to their conference loss to the Patriots

458
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:35,479
Speaker 2: last week, the Bills lose the tiebreaker to Pittsburgh and

459
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 2: our third in the conference standings Chargers four, Jacksonville five,

460
00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:43,920
Speaker 2: Denver six, New England seven. So Kansas City at three

461
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:46,720
Speaker 2: and three still on the outside looking in, but I

462
00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:48,760
Speaker 2: think we all believe that they will be a part

463
00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 2: of the playoff picture in the not too distant future.

464
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:58,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm The interesting thing about Kansas City is they've

465
00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:02,200
Speaker 4: you know, they just got through Detroit. Now they've got

466
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:04,520
Speaker 4: the Raiders, the Commanders, and the Bills coming up in

467
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:07,679
Speaker 4: their next three games, and then they've got the Broncos,

468
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:12,080
Speaker 4: Colts and Cowboys after their bye. So it's and you know,

469
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:17,040
Speaker 4: they've got a much more formidable schedule than the teams

470
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:22,720
Speaker 4: they're chasing, most notably Bread Flow and New England.

471
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:27,680
Speaker 2: So right, it's it's you know, even their own division

472
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:29,639
Speaker 2: is a lot tougher this year. You know, the Chargers

473
00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:32,159
Speaker 2: aren't going to be an easy out either, as Denver

474
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:35,680
Speaker 2: So and Chargers already have a game on them from

475
00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:38,480
Speaker 2: week one. Yeah, yeah, they still have to go out

476
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:40,879
Speaker 2: to La and play them again. Was that I gotta

477
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:42,919
Speaker 2: remember it was that Brazil game? A home game for

478
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:44,159
Speaker 2: the Chargers or the Chiefs.

479
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:46,320
Speaker 4: I can't right, I think it was the Chargers, but

480
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:48,000
Speaker 4: I could be wrong. You're good.

481
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:49,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm gonna check right now.

482
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:49,600
Speaker 4: Check.

483
00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:51,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was a Chargers home game.

484
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:52,520
Speaker 4: Yeah.

485
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:55,360
Speaker 2: So so the Chargers have to go to the Chiefs

486
00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:59,000
Speaker 2: in week fifteen, all right, so they lucked out there?

487
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:02,120
Speaker 4: What I think that that game's got to mean something, right,

488
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:06,000
Speaker 4: I mean, that's got to be that might be in

489
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:06,680
Speaker 4: week fifteen.

490
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:08,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, that'll be a that'll be an important one, I

491
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:11,320
Speaker 2: would think, provided both are still in contention.

492
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:14,000
Speaker 3: And there's no reason to keep.

493
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:22,000
Speaker 2: Absolutely uh NFC in case anyone cares leading the way

494
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:23,960
Speaker 2: over There is Tampa Bay.

495
00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:26,800
Speaker 3: Who's playing well.

496
00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:30,760
Speaker 2: Baker Mayfield already an early league MVP candidates slinging it

497
00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:32,800
Speaker 2: despite all the injuries they've had. They've had a slew

498
00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:35,760
Speaker 2: of injuries on offense, Holy cow, like they have like

499
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:39,280
Speaker 2: nobody left standing. And they lost Abuka yesterday. He got

500
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:40,680
Speaker 2: their top five wide receivers.

501
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:42,320
Speaker 4: I heard their top five.

502
00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:46,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, So Godwin's not back from injury, neither is Evans,

503
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:50,320
Speaker 2: and then Ibuka goes down with a hamstring yesterday. I

504
00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:52,520
Speaker 2: think Godwin's going to be back in the next week

505
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:56,480
Speaker 2: or two, and then Evans might come in after that.

506
00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:58,160
Speaker 2: We'll have to see how long a Bukah is down,

507
00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:00,360
Speaker 2: because he's been a revelation for them.

508
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:02,120
Speaker 3: Green Bay of three, one and one.

509
00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:06,600
Speaker 2: There's your favorite tie Steve san fran three, Philly four,

510
00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:13,119
Speaker 2: Seattle five, Detroit six, LA seven. So that's your playoff

511
00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:16,680
Speaker 2: conference standings on the NFC side of things again, brought

512
00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:21,120
Speaker 2: to you by Stellar Roofing. Topic of discussion for you

513
00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:24,199
Speaker 2: today is pretty simple. What needs to happen for the

514
00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:27,119
Speaker 2: Bills to get a win tonight here in Atlanta where

515
00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:30,640
Speaker 2: I sit eight oh three five point fifty one eight

516
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:32,639
Speaker 2: at eight five fifty two, five fifty those are the

517
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:35,480
Speaker 2: numbers to join us. Don't have time to give us

518
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:38,000
Speaker 2: a call, That's okay. You can hit us up on

519
00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:40,880
Speaker 2: the tweets sheet at one Bills Live. But Steve and

520
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:43,360
Speaker 2: I take a break here take your phone calls. Next

521
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:45,440
Speaker 2: on one Bill's Live, presented by Klid of Health, it's

522
00:28:45,520 --> 00:29:02,920
Speaker 2: Buffalo Bills rating all right back here on One of

523
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:05,720
Speaker 2: Bill's Live, Chris Brown, Steve Tasker on a game day

524
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:09,360
Speaker 2: Monday for Monday Night Football, Bill's Falcons kicking off at

525
00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 2: seven point fifteen tonight. And one other note that I

526
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:17,400
Speaker 2: forgot to pass along and around the NFL Steve the

527
00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:23,200
Speaker 2: sudden decision to retire by veteran pass rusher Zadarius Smith

528
00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:27,040
Speaker 2: for the Eagles, so the Eagles could be a team

529
00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:34,120
Speaker 2: seeking pass rushing help here before the deadline with Zadarius Smith,

530
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:37,840
Speaker 2: who I believe only signed with them after the season began,

531
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:42,200
Speaker 2: deciding to retire. He said it has nothing to do

532
00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:47,680
Speaker 2: with the Eagles. It's a personal decision. It's been dealing

533
00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:51,360
Speaker 2: with injuries the last couple of years, so.

534
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:53,200
Speaker 3: Sometimes the mind is willing, but the body isn't. And

535
00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:54,520
Speaker 3: you got to make a decision like that.

536
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:58,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's never easy. That's well, good for him and

537
00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:00,520
Speaker 4: I'm glad he got to make it an walk away

538
00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:03,960
Speaker 4: on his own terms. So many guys, Yeah, there's so

539
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:07,200
Speaker 4: many guys that are when I was coming up. You

540
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:09,960
Speaker 4: talk to you the old guys and who were fresh

541
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:11,760
Speaker 4: out or out three or four years, or even the

542
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:14,760
Speaker 4: guys that had been out for a while. You talk

543
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:16,560
Speaker 4: to him about the career, how it went, what the

544
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:19,280
Speaker 4: only thing they talked about is how it ended. They're

545
00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:20,360
Speaker 4: not happy with how it ended.

546
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:20,560
Speaker 3: You know.

547
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:23,320
Speaker 4: They had to they got cut, they got released, trade whatever.

548
00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:26,160
Speaker 4: And that's the one thing that's stuck with him. And

549
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:28,640
Speaker 4: I'm I'm good for Zadarius that he gets to call

550
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:29,600
Speaker 4: it quits on his own.

551
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:33,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, And we'll see if that prompts Howie Roseman, the

552
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:36,040
Speaker 2: GM of the Eagles, who as we know is a

553
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:39,600
Speaker 2: wheeler dealer, never found a trade. He wasn't willing to

554
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:43,120
Speaker 2: make it seems if he strikes in the next three

555
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:46,240
Speaker 2: weeks here before the deadline of November fourth.

556
00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:48,960
Speaker 3: I would anticipate that at some point he does.

557
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:52,320
Speaker 2: Eight oh three, five point fifty one eighty eight, five

558
00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:54,760
Speaker 2: fifty two, five fifty Those are the numbers to join

559
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:56,600
Speaker 2: us as we are asking you, what's it going to

560
00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:59,440
Speaker 2: take for the Bills to get a victory against the

561
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:01,680
Speaker 2: Falcons on the road tonight?

562
00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:06,200
Speaker 3: The Bills last year were five and four on the road.

563
00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:09,120
Speaker 2: All of their losses in the regular season happened a

564
00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:12,000
Speaker 2: weigh from heim Mark Stadium, where as we know, they

565
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:15,640
Speaker 2: went a perfect ten and zero counting playoffs last season.

566
00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:19,000
Speaker 2: That home winning streak came to an end last week

567
00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:23,000
Speaker 2: against the Patriots, so already already won in the lost

568
00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:27,480
Speaker 2: column at home this season. But they are, want to know,

569
00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:30,560
Speaker 2: on the road this season, having beaten the Jets all

570
00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:33,560
Speaker 2: the way back in Week two, which reminded me, Steve,

571
00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:36,400
Speaker 2: I wanted to ask you this, after you haven't been

572
00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:40,280
Speaker 2: on the road in like a month, is it almost.

573
00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:41,440
Speaker 3: Like reacclimating yourself.

574
00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:45,520
Speaker 2: I mean, it's a different atmosphere, but I haven't played

575
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:46,360
Speaker 2: a road game in a month.

576
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:48,600
Speaker 3: It's like, oh yeah, crowd noise again, Like you know

577
00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:49,000
Speaker 3: what I mean?

578
00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:52,479
Speaker 4: I mean, I think it's for the veteran guys who

579
00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:54,200
Speaker 4: have done it year after year, is probably not a

580
00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:54,720
Speaker 4: big deal.

581
00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:58,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, But yeah, for the.

582
00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:00,480
Speaker 4: For some of them, yes, like oh my god, you

583
00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:02,520
Speaker 4: know they're some of the young guy, the rookies. They

584
00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:04,440
Speaker 4: probably don't even even the second year guys, they probably

585
00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:09,320
Speaker 4: don't even have their routine down. I know there are

586
00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:11,840
Speaker 4: some cities you feel much more comfortable, and most namely

587
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:16,360
Speaker 4: obviously your divisional opponents that you play every year. I

588
00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:22,600
Speaker 4: don't and I don't know that the the away protocol,

589
00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:25,880
Speaker 4: the away trip to Atlanta is all that familiar to

590
00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:29,040
Speaker 4: these guys. These two teams have played fourteen times in history,

591
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:33,160
Speaker 4: so it's not like, yeah, it's not like the Bears

592
00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:37,760
Speaker 4: Packers rivalry, right, So, you know, Atlanta getting around down there,

593
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:40,600
Speaker 4: you think about the logistics of how you move around

594
00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:42,360
Speaker 4: the city and where the hotel's going to be, and

595
00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:44,840
Speaker 4: I don't know which one it is, but Atlanta's got

596
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:48,080
Speaker 4: lots of them, and so yeah, it's a little bit,

597
00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:50,320
Speaker 4: but it's not. I don't know if it's more so

598
00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:52,840
Speaker 4: I don't think there's any more reacclimation to it. I

599
00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:56,920
Speaker 4: think it's just like the regular pain that it is

600
00:32:56,960 --> 00:33:00,360
Speaker 4: to travel to a city that you know, you're not

601
00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:02,560
Speaker 4: familiar with, and some of these guys probably are familiar

602
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:03,960
Speaker 4: with it. You've got a bunch of Georgia guys. You

603
00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:06,040
Speaker 4: got a Georgia tech guy on the on the squad,

604
00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:08,959
Speaker 4: you got guys from Georgia, got you know, Cole Bishops

605
00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:12,080
Speaker 4: from Peachtree City for goodness sake, So he's probably got

606
00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:16,760
Speaker 4: some extra responsibilities. That's It's an interesting question because we've

607
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:20,040
Speaker 4: never seen a three game homestand right like they just finished,

608
00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:23,000
Speaker 4: not in a long time. Well, I'm sure it's probably happened,

609
00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:25,840
Speaker 4: but wow, it's a long way to wait.

610
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:29,640
Speaker 2: I will tell you there are an awful lot of

611
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:32,840
Speaker 2: Bills fans down here, So yeah, uh, this is a

612
00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:37,760
Speaker 2: stadium that does not have a rapidly passionate fan base

613
00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:42,480
Speaker 2: for the Falcons, and they have been they have been

614
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:47,080
Speaker 2: taken over before by visiting fans, and it would not

615
00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:52,160
Speaker 2: shock me if we see another one of those here tonight.

616
00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:53,600
Speaker 2: I think there's gonna be a lot of red, white

617
00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:57,160
Speaker 2: and blue in the stands, blue in particular, knowing red

618
00:33:57,200 --> 00:33:57,800
Speaker 2: and black are.

619
00:33:57,720 --> 00:33:59,000
Speaker 3: The colors of the Falcons.

620
00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:01,160
Speaker 2: But let's go to the fall to see what you

621
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:03,000
Speaker 2: think at eight oh three oh five point fifty one

622
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:05,480
Speaker 2: eight eight eight five fifty two five fifty the numbers

623
00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:07,280
Speaker 2: to join us. We do have open lines for you.

624
00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:10,680
Speaker 2: We're gonna lead off today with Bill in Connecticut. What

625
00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:12,400
Speaker 2: do you got for us? Bill, you're on one of Bill's.

626
00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:15,839
Speaker 6: Life Hell, guys, thanks for taking the call. I'll let

627
00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:19,239
Speaker 6: you know that I'm in Connecticut with three generations of

628
00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:21,200
Speaker 6: Bills fans in the car on the way to see

629
00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:26,680
Speaker 6: the Ukon women play an exhibition game. In terms, YEP,

630
00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:30,439
Speaker 6: in terms of what we're looking for tonight, I'd say

631
00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:33,960
Speaker 6: we're hoping Josh can have a good game by Josh standards,

632
00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:37,360
Speaker 6: and if we can keep Bijon somewhat under control, I

633
00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:42,200
Speaker 6: think that's a good recipe for victory tonight. So with that,

634
00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:44,280
Speaker 6: I would say, thank you very much, and.

635
00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:51,520
Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, okay, go Bill's yeah, they're all ready, Steve.

636
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:56,399
Speaker 2: I think people, well, they would certainly respect Bijon as

637
00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:59,200
Speaker 2: a runner. I don't know if everybody realizes this guy

638
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:03,279
Speaker 2: leads the team in receiving yards and has already had

639
00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:07,399
Speaker 2: two one hundred yard receiving games in their first four

640
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:11,520
Speaker 2: games this season. So while I'm all for you know,

641
00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:14,279
Speaker 2: stopping him on the ground, which is gonna be a

642
00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:17,560
Speaker 2: big enough task by itself, but they like to get

643
00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:18,879
Speaker 2: him out in space too.

644
00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:22,440
Speaker 3: And if he's out in space, that's scary.

645
00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:27,759
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's he's a problem. He's the best. He's a

646
00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:30,640
Speaker 4: Christian McCaffrey type guy. They use him like that. He's

647
00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:35,640
Speaker 4: the centerpiece of the offense. He's got great change and

648
00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:38,680
Speaker 4: I think in some ways he's a little bit shiftier

649
00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:43,279
Speaker 4: than you see him cut harder more often than a

650
00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:45,880
Speaker 4: guy like Christian McCaffrey. He's more of a he's not

651
00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:49,560
Speaker 4: Barry Sandersby. He's like that. He's jump cutting, he's sidestepping

652
00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:56,279
Speaker 4: guys in traffic. They run him downhill a lot. He's

653
00:35:56,320 --> 00:36:04,640
Speaker 4: a problem, and I would anticipate I would anticipate him

654
00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:11,480
Speaker 4: getting what twenty twenty five touches something like that. Yeah, right, So,

655
00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:14,480
Speaker 4: I mean he's got sixty four rushes on the season

656
00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:17,600
Speaker 4: in how many games? In five games? Right?

657
00:36:18,040 --> 00:36:18,640
Speaker 3: Four games?

658
00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:22,719
Speaker 2: Four games played because they're four and one, right, No,

659
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:25,960
Speaker 2: they're two and two, two and two the Falcons.

660
00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:29,399
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, so yeah, that's right. So it's sixty four

661
00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:35,480
Speaker 4: rushes in four games. And as you mentioned, uh, yeah,

662
00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:39,319
Speaker 4: he's got eighteen catches, so he's you know, he's got

663
00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:42,759
Speaker 4: eighty two touches and four so twenty. Yeah, he's gonna

664
00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:46,920
Speaker 4: be right at twenty touches. Yeah, I'll bet it goes

665
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:47,799
Speaker 4: up for this game.

666
00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:51,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, they might think it has to to keep up

667
00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:53,080
Speaker 2: with the Bills offensively.

668
00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:54,759
Speaker 4: Well, the Bills are going to I would think the

669
00:36:54,760 --> 00:36:56,279
Speaker 4: Bills are going to put some pressure on him to

670
00:36:56,360 --> 00:36:59,040
Speaker 4: keep up on the scoreboard. The Bills are really good

671
00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:06,399
Speaker 4: indoors with Josh in this iteration, they're gonna they're coming

672
00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:12,360
Speaker 4: off a loss. Yeah, I think Brannie, I yeah, Bjon

673
00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:14,960
Speaker 4: Robinson has got to be the centerpiece of their offense.

674
00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:18,399
Speaker 4: And if and Buffalo's got I think you double him,

675
00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:20,120
Speaker 4: bracket him the whole thing.

676
00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:24,080
Speaker 2: Oh if he's split out wise you mean yeah, yeah,

677
00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:25,719
Speaker 2: because he will, they will split him out.

678
00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:28,399
Speaker 4: Well, I'll do Briani. I'd rather have him split him

679
00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:32,840
Speaker 4: out than coming out of the backfield, Okay, I would,

680
00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:37,239
Speaker 4: you know, because then they've they've got to throw it

681
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:39,279
Speaker 4: to him at least, right, and you can put a

682
00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:43,160
Speaker 4: corner on him then. So I'm yeah, I hope they

683
00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:45,520
Speaker 4: split him out all right.

684
00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:47,319
Speaker 2: They don't do it often, but they do do it,

685
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:49,120
Speaker 2: so something to keep an eye on. Let's go do

686
00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:51,680
Speaker 2: Gerald in Buffalo next. What's up Gerald?

687
00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:53,000
Speaker 5: Hi? Guys?

688
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:56,120
Speaker 7: How we doing I win this game.

689
00:37:56,560 --> 00:37:58,759
Speaker 6: They're gonna have to open up the playbooks, do a

690
00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:02,280
Speaker 6: lot of misdirections, a lot of play action. They're gonna

691
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:05,120
Speaker 6: have to keep that defense on their heels and not

692
00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:07,040
Speaker 6: let them be able to pin their ears back.

693
00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:07,640
Speaker 5: And just go.

694
00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:10,960
Speaker 3: Yeah.

695
00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:12,759
Speaker 2: I mean, I get what you're saying there, and I

696
00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:16,040
Speaker 2: would tend to agree with that. Josh has been very

697
00:38:16,080 --> 00:38:19,680
Speaker 2: effective with play action under center. So that's a way

698
00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:21,719
Speaker 2: to get those linebackers to cheat up. And I think

699
00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:24,520
Speaker 2: you're gonna need them to cheat up because Kaden Ellis

700
00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:27,640
Speaker 2: and Divine Diablo are two very athletic linebackers who can

701
00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:31,200
Speaker 2: actually cover at the second level. Oftentimes we see the

702
00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:34,160
Speaker 2: Bills playing, you know, a bunch of teams through the

703
00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:37,439
Speaker 2: course of the schedule, and they just don't have linebackers

704
00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:40,000
Speaker 2: who can cover well, and we all say, up, it's

705
00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:42,799
Speaker 2: gonna be another Kinkaid Shakir game because they don't have

706
00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:46,359
Speaker 2: people that can cover at the second level. The Falcons do. Now,

707
00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:48,600
Speaker 2: if Billy Bowman, their nickel corner, can't play, that's a

708
00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:53,200
Speaker 2: different story. But Diablo and Ellis are pretty good, and

709
00:38:53,239 --> 00:38:56,320
Speaker 2: they will use those guys as movable chess pieces, you know,

710
00:38:56,360 --> 00:38:58,319
Speaker 2: whether they stand them up online of scrimmage and have

711
00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:01,280
Speaker 2: them rush into blitz package. It usually happens on second

712
00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:04,120
Speaker 2: and long or third down. They rarely blitz on on

713
00:39:04,239 --> 00:39:05,960
Speaker 2: first down, at least from what I've seen through the

714
00:39:05,960 --> 00:39:10,560
Speaker 2: first four games. So we'll we'll have to see what

715
00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:14,319
Speaker 2: the Bills answer to that is. Because Steve, I don't

716
00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:17,680
Speaker 2: know about you, but I tend to think that they

717
00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:20,360
Speaker 2: can be tested on the outside. I know aj Terrell

718
00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:24,759
Speaker 2: is back, but Mike Hughes the corner opposite him CB two.

719
00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:27,600
Speaker 2: He has been victimized a ton and I'm expecting the

720
00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:29,000
Speaker 2: Bills to go after him tonight.

721
00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:30,080
Speaker 7: Yeah.

722
00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:35,760
Speaker 4: I mean, they're twenty third in yards per attempt running

723
00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:41,080
Speaker 4: against this defense, so you're gonna start there. You're gonna

724
00:39:41,080 --> 00:39:43,480
Speaker 4: see if you can snowplow them a little bit. They're

725
00:39:43,560 --> 00:39:47,240
Speaker 4: sixteenth against the run in the league and rushing yards

726
00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:49,200
Speaker 4: given up, so they're kind of a middle.

727
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:49,279
Speaker 3: Of the pack.

728
00:39:49,640 --> 00:39:51,400
Speaker 2: And they're very bad in the red zone. They're like

729
00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:53,440
Speaker 2: twenty five right on defense in the red.

730
00:39:53,360 --> 00:39:56,440
Speaker 4: Zone, So you'll hit them where it hurts first, and

731
00:39:56,480 --> 00:39:58,319
Speaker 4: see if they can bear up against it, and then

732
00:39:58,440 --> 00:40:01,440
Speaker 4: you know, then maybe action and all that stuff. Off

733
00:40:01,480 --> 00:40:07,279
Speaker 4: of that. I don't think that it really gets me.

734
00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:12,680
Speaker 4: Everybody acts like the team is playing horrible and they

735
00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:15,040
Speaker 4: had a Listen, they turned the ball over three times

736
00:40:15,040 --> 00:40:15,880
Speaker 4: against the Patriots.

737
00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:16,160
Speaker 3: That's it.

738
00:40:16,239 --> 00:40:19,759
Speaker 4: Yet two guys drop the ball. So other than that,

739
00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:23,319
Speaker 4: the games were you know, that game goes differently. So

740
00:40:23,360 --> 00:40:25,680
Speaker 4: I'm they just keep on keeping on. The Bills just

741
00:40:25,719 --> 00:40:28,040
Speaker 4: need to play like they play. If they do that,

742
00:40:28,680 --> 00:40:31,080
Speaker 4: they'll be too much for the Atlanta Falcons to handle.

743
00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:33,480
Speaker 4: But once the Falcons, if the Falcons can take them

744
00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:36,320
Speaker 4: out of their game, then maybe not. But if the

745
00:40:36,360 --> 00:40:38,920
Speaker 4: Bills play their game, they don't need to do anything

746
00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:44,000
Speaker 4: different or special or out of the ordinary. They're good enough. Yeah,

747
00:40:44,040 --> 00:40:45,560
Speaker 4: we'll see if they can do that, though, because they

748
00:40:45,560 --> 00:40:47,920
Speaker 4: certainly did not do that against the Patriots.

749
00:40:49,160 --> 00:40:50,520
Speaker 3: We have to step aside.

750
00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:52,600

Speaker 2: edition of One Bill's Live. We are your extended pregame

763
00:41:43,680 --> 00:41:45,360
Speaker 2: show today and we want to know from you what

764
00:41:45,520 --> 00:41:47,680
Speaker 2: needs to happen for the Bills to get a win

765
00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:51,440
Speaker 2: tonight in Atlanta. And one guy is saying, gotta use

766
00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:54,280
Speaker 2: play action. Another guy's saying, just keep be sewn. Robinson

767
00:41:54,320 --> 00:41:59,439
Speaker 2: under wraps. Easier said than done, of course, And I'm

768
00:41:59,480 --> 00:42:03,840
Speaker 2: wondering how much the defensive front looks different. Steve with

769
00:42:04,080 --> 00:42:06,719
Speaker 2: Ed Oliver back in the lineup, has not been in

770
00:42:06,760 --> 00:42:10,000
Speaker 2: since Week one, as we know. Against Baltimore, he had

771
00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:13,160
Speaker 2: the huge forest fumble in the fourth quarter on Derrick Henry.

772
00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:14,759
Speaker 2: That was probably his biggest play of the game. But

773
00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:17,759
Speaker 2: he had six tackles, a sack, tackle for loss in

774
00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:21,080
Speaker 2: the forest fumble. I mean, he was impactful. I'm curious

775
00:42:21,120 --> 00:42:23,680
Speaker 2: to see how impactful. He can be here tonight as

776
00:42:23,680 --> 00:42:25,640
Speaker 2: he returns to the defensive front.

777
00:42:26,120 --> 00:42:30,759
Speaker 4: He had a great game the week one, and that

778
00:42:30,960 --> 00:42:33,160
Speaker 4: you know, is that comeback, come from behind, like you know,

779
00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:35,880
Speaker 4: the defense gave up forty. Don't forget. But he's still

780
00:42:36,080 --> 00:42:38,799
Speaker 4: all right. Ed was one of the good guys who

781
00:42:39,080 --> 00:42:41,760
Speaker 4: was singled out as playing really well, high modeor high energy.

782
00:42:42,120 --> 00:42:44,719
Speaker 4: He should be fresh coming back here tonight, no question

783
00:42:44,760 --> 00:42:47,600
Speaker 4: about it. He should have some juice. He'll bring something

784
00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:52,600
Speaker 4: to the rotation. It remains to be seen, Brownie, how

785
00:42:52,719 --> 00:42:54,080
Speaker 4: much of a difference he's gonna.

786
00:42:53,880 --> 00:42:57,239
Speaker 3: Make, But I was, I was encouraged. I'll tell you

787
00:42:57,400 --> 00:42:58,960
Speaker 3: quick that you know.

788
00:42:59,080 --> 00:43:03,920
Speaker 2: Rousseau was asked point blank by defensive coordinator Bobby Babbage

789
00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:06,120
Speaker 2: leading into last week's game. He said, we need more

790
00:43:06,160 --> 00:43:09,319
Speaker 2: from you, Like he had a very direct conversation with

791
00:43:09,360 --> 00:43:10,759
Speaker 2: Greg Rousseau saying we.

792
00:43:10,680 --> 00:43:11,520
Speaker 3: Need more from you.

793
00:43:12,360 --> 00:43:15,360
Speaker 2: Last week he delivered, I mean six tackles, two tackles

794
00:43:15,360 --> 00:43:19,440
Speaker 2: for loss and a sack. So if if that continues,

795
00:43:19,719 --> 00:43:23,040
Speaker 2: you get ed back, you know, and Bosa can do

796
00:43:23,080 --> 00:43:27,120
Speaker 2: her thing or two, you might have something. Because Pennix

797
00:43:27,360 --> 00:43:31,080
Speaker 2: usually likes to operate from the pocket. If you leave

798
00:43:31,120 --> 00:43:33,160
Speaker 2: that middle lane open, though. He will take it and

799
00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:36,080
Speaker 2: he can run like he's he can move a little bit.

800
00:43:36,239 --> 00:43:38,560
Speaker 2: He doesn't do it by design, but if he needs

801
00:43:38,600 --> 00:43:39,160
Speaker 2: to he will.

802
00:43:39,239 --> 00:43:41,760
Speaker 4: He's not a very You're right, he's not a willing runner.

803
00:43:43,480 --> 00:43:48,040
Speaker 4: He's he throws it and he gets in. He wastes

804
00:43:48,440 --> 00:43:51,040
Speaker 4: some plays. As a result, they're not as efficient as

805
00:43:51,040 --> 00:43:53,080
Speaker 4: they should be. They could probably churn out a few

806
00:43:53,080 --> 00:43:55,520
Speaker 4: more first downs if he just run it and get it,

807
00:43:56,200 --> 00:43:58,960
Speaker 4: but he doesn't like to do it. I'm with you, though,

808
00:43:59,040 --> 00:44:03,719
Speaker 4: I'm why your defensive coordinator has to sit down with

809
00:44:03,760 --> 00:44:05,640
Speaker 4: one of your top players and say, hey, we need

810
00:44:05,680 --> 00:44:08,080
Speaker 4: more from you, and then guy has something to give.

811
00:44:08,120 --> 00:44:14,160
Speaker 4: I mean, where was that for four weeks? Right, Bosa?

812
00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:16,200
Speaker 4: If you look at if you hear you know, go

813
00:44:16,320 --> 00:44:18,399
Speaker 4: to social and go to all the websites that are

814
00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:22,160
Speaker 4: talking about guys in their officialing. Bosa's playing well. The

815
00:44:22,200 --> 00:44:25,239
Speaker 4: analytics say he doesn't have many, very many numbers, but

816
00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:29,200
Speaker 4: he's getting quick pressure, he's win rates big. He's in

817
00:44:29,239 --> 00:44:30,840
Speaker 4: the top four or five and the guys in the

818
00:44:30,840 --> 00:44:34,839
Speaker 4: top two or three guys in the league. So any

819
00:44:34,840 --> 00:44:37,040
Speaker 4: help you can give him to get home would be great.

820
00:44:37,200 --> 00:44:39,239
Speaker 4: We saw we talked about the analytics last week. This

821
00:44:39,320 --> 00:44:44,520
Speaker 4: Bill's defensive line wins faster at a higher rate than

822
00:44:44,800 --> 00:44:47,120
Speaker 4: any defensive line in the league. They're just not getting

823
00:44:47,120 --> 00:44:49,520
Speaker 4: any sacks now you can. It may be a function

824
00:44:49,600 --> 00:44:51,600
Speaker 4: of the quarterbacks they're playing, or maybe a function of

825
00:44:51,640 --> 00:44:54,200
Speaker 4: that teams knowing that or seeing it on film and

826
00:44:54,200 --> 00:44:56,280
Speaker 4: saying we got to get rid of the ball. Certainly

827
00:44:56,360 --> 00:44:58,759
Speaker 4: Miami they do that all the time. But they're also

828
00:44:58,800 --> 00:45:02,319
Speaker 4: playing Lamar justin fields and some pretty mobile quarterbacks. Drake

829
00:45:02,360 --> 00:45:05,880
Speaker 4: may as well, so they've got that working against him.

830
00:45:07,280 --> 00:45:13,080
Speaker 4: Ed should help. That doesn't mean any of the other

831
00:45:13,120 --> 00:45:17,400
Speaker 4: guys are gonna up their game. We'll see. I'm you

832
00:45:17,440 --> 00:45:22,919
Speaker 4: know this the defense. The defense is you know, once

833
00:45:22,960 --> 00:45:26,080
Speaker 4: again you're kind of waiting for just to help. You know,

834
00:45:26,120 --> 00:45:28,480
Speaker 4: it's it's not a it's never been a dominant defense

835
00:45:28,520 --> 00:45:31,759
Speaker 4: during the McDermott era. Uh. The one thing they do

836
00:45:31,840 --> 00:45:33,880
Speaker 4: that you can count is it turn out turnovers. But

837
00:45:33,920 --> 00:45:36,640
Speaker 4: if that dries up there, you know, they're just hold

838
00:45:36,680 --> 00:45:42,160
Speaker 4: a place filler basically. So you really any extra they

839
00:45:42,200 --> 00:45:44,360
Speaker 4: can give you, and Ed Oliver may be the extra,

840
00:45:45,040 --> 00:45:48,520
Speaker 4: You're well, it's welcome, but it does say something about

841
00:45:48,840 --> 00:45:52,120
Speaker 4: the state of the team. When that's the bar they

842
00:45:52,120 --> 00:45:52,680
Speaker 4: have to clear.

843
00:45:53,760 --> 00:45:57,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, we have to take a break here because when

844
00:45:57,520 --> 00:45:59,600
Speaker 2: we come back to begin hour number two, we're going

845
00:45:59,640 --> 00:46:03,040
Speaker 2: to be doing it with Lewis Ridick, ESPN NFL analyst

Speaker 2: NFL and college football analyst Lewis Riddick joining us on

860
00:47:11,840 --> 00:47:13,080
Speaker 3: Lewis, good to have you back.

861
00:47:13,120 --> 00:47:15,239
Speaker 2: We know you're calling the game tonight with dan Orlovski

862
00:47:15,320 --> 00:47:17,920
Speaker 2: and Chris Fowler, so good to have you in the

863
00:47:17,960 --> 00:47:21,759
Speaker 2: atl to do that for our viewing audience. Back in Buffalo,

864
00:47:22,600 --> 00:47:25,799
Speaker 2: we've been trying to get a handle on just what

865
00:47:25,920 --> 00:47:28,840
Speaker 2: this Falcons team is because as you know, they've alternated

866
00:47:28,840 --> 00:47:31,680
Speaker 2: wins and losses each of their first four games coming

867
00:47:31,719 --> 00:47:35,040
Speaker 2: off the buy here, And I don't know what it is.

868
00:47:35,040 --> 00:47:37,759
Speaker 2: Steve and I were talking about this earlier. It just

869
00:47:37,840 --> 00:47:42,640
Speaker 2: feels like there's something missing from their operation. I don't

870
00:47:42,680 --> 00:47:44,840
Speaker 2: know if it's not sweating the details. I don't know

871
00:47:44,840 --> 00:47:47,040
Speaker 2: if it's a lack of urgency. There just seems to

872
00:47:47,040 --> 00:47:49,560
Speaker 2: be something missing because you look at that talent, You're like,

873
00:47:50,480 --> 00:47:52,560
Speaker 2: there should be a lot more results from this group.

874
00:47:53,040 --> 00:47:56,600
Speaker 9: Sure, look, I think you know they would probably frame

875
00:47:56,640 --> 00:47:58,880
Speaker 9: it a little bit differently, but the ultimately the results

876
00:47:58,880 --> 00:48:01,200
Speaker 9: are what they want to do. Feel that they are

877
00:48:02,280 --> 00:48:04,520
Speaker 9: from a talent standpoint, better than maybe than what their

878
00:48:04,520 --> 00:48:07,680
Speaker 9: record indicates. For sure, over the past two games that

879
00:48:07,719 --> 00:48:09,560
Speaker 9: they had prior to the buy, when you're looking at

880
00:48:09,560 --> 00:48:12,560
Speaker 9: Carolina and then looking at Washington, that they look like

881
00:48:12,600 --> 00:48:14,719
Speaker 9: polar opposite teams, And a lot of times, you know,

882
00:48:14,760 --> 00:48:19,040
Speaker 9: the margins aren't really that wide between what looks like

883
00:48:19,080 --> 00:48:21,239
Speaker 9: a real poor performance and a real good performance. A

884
00:48:21,280 --> 00:48:23,560
Speaker 9: lot of times that is about the details in particular,

885
00:48:23,600 --> 00:48:26,279
Speaker 9: as you mentioned, And I think what they're gonna find

886
00:48:26,320 --> 00:48:29,040
Speaker 9: out tonight is just exactly where early on in the

887
00:48:29,080 --> 00:48:30,160
Speaker 9: season where they stack up.

888
00:48:30,200 --> 00:48:31,279
Speaker 7: Look, Buffalo is.

889
00:48:31,200 --> 00:48:33,920
Speaker 9: A is a game in which in a team in

890
00:48:33,920 --> 00:48:36,480
Speaker 9: which a lot of people look look at as a

891
00:48:36,520 --> 00:48:39,480
Speaker 9: measuring stick for them, because look, Buffalo is and I'm

892
00:48:39,480 --> 00:48:42,440
Speaker 9: gonna say this earlier later on tonight, you know, Buffalo

893
00:48:42,520 --> 00:48:45,600
Speaker 9: is chasing greatness. They're chasing chasing immortality, so to speak,

894
00:48:45,640 --> 00:48:47,480
Speaker 9: in the form of a super Bowl championship. That's really

895
00:48:47,480 --> 00:48:49,160
Speaker 9: all that matters to them is getting to the super

896
00:48:49,200 --> 00:48:52,480
Speaker 9: Bowl and winning one. The Falcons are chasing relevance. They

897
00:48:52,520 --> 00:48:55,279
Speaker 9: want to be relevant in the greater discussion when you're

898
00:48:55,280 --> 00:48:57,719
Speaker 9: talking about contenders in the NFL, and what better way

899
00:48:57,719 --> 00:48:59,680
Speaker 9: to do that. And they come out and put together

900
00:48:59,680 --> 00:49:03,120
Speaker 9: a good permance against a Buffalo team that they are

901
00:49:03,160 --> 00:49:06,040
Speaker 9: more than capable of doing. It's just a matter of

902
00:49:06,040 --> 00:49:08,040
Speaker 9: whether or not you can string together enough plays in

903
00:49:08,160 --> 00:49:10,759
Speaker 9: enough series over three hours in order to get the

904
00:49:10,840 --> 00:49:11,239
Speaker 9: job done.

905
00:49:11,320 --> 00:49:13,920
Speaker 4: We'll see. And certainly, you know, the Bills have been

906
00:49:14,080 --> 00:49:17,360
Speaker 4: their five time defending division champs and all of that

907
00:49:17,400 --> 00:49:19,120
Speaker 4: stuff going on, a lot of it has to do

908
00:49:19,160 --> 00:49:22,080
Speaker 4: with the engine, the guy taking snaps the offense, Josh

909
00:49:22,160 --> 00:49:24,399
Speaker 4: All on the offense. They're cranking out thirty points a game.

910
00:49:24,440 --> 00:49:26,440
Speaker 4: They did it all last year. They were undefeated at home,

911
00:49:26,480 --> 00:49:29,120
Speaker 4: they got all that going on. But when you when

912
00:49:29,120 --> 00:49:30,920
Speaker 4: they put out a game like they did last week. Now,

913
00:49:31,040 --> 00:49:33,799
Speaker 4: certainly three turnovers, that was the difference in the game.

914
00:49:33,800 --> 00:49:35,880
Speaker 4: It was a three point win by the Patriots on

915
00:49:35,920 --> 00:49:39,160
Speaker 4: the road, tough environment in Buffalo, but Buffalo helped them.

916
00:49:39,360 --> 00:49:42,080
Speaker 4: And that's really what it has looked like under Sean McDermott.

917
00:49:42,080 --> 00:49:43,959
Speaker 4: If you're gonna beat this team, you're gonna it's gonna

918
00:49:43,960 --> 00:49:46,880
Speaker 4: be a close loss for the Bills and they're gonna

919
00:49:46,880 --> 00:49:49,319
Speaker 4: have to help you. Certainly, the Bills are capable of

920
00:49:49,360 --> 00:49:52,560
Speaker 4: doing that. They showed us last week. But it doesn't

921
00:49:52,640 --> 00:49:55,640
Speaker 4: from us. You know, when you try and find things

922
00:49:55,719 --> 00:49:59,239
Speaker 4: that are wrong with this team, you start with, you know,

923
00:49:59,280 --> 00:50:03,239
Speaker 4: the fact that they're de defence is middle of the pack. Yeah,

924
00:50:03,640 --> 00:50:08,879
Speaker 4: and if their offense stumbles, man, it's an uphill battle. Yeah.

925
00:50:08,920 --> 00:50:12,239
Speaker 9: Look, I think you know you understand, you know, as

926
00:50:12,280 --> 00:50:15,160
Speaker 9: you just kind of really alluded to Steve, there's a

927
00:50:15,160 --> 00:50:19,000
Speaker 9: certain way that they want to play and if they

928
00:50:19,000 --> 00:50:21,080
Speaker 9: don't play that way, then obviously they have the great

929
00:50:21,120 --> 00:50:23,960
Speaker 9: equalizer in seventeen that a lot of times can make

930
00:50:24,000 --> 00:50:26,680
Speaker 9: things right for them, but they don't want to live

931
00:50:26,680 --> 00:50:29,520
Speaker 9: in that world. And I think the way in which

932
00:50:29,520 --> 00:50:32,439
Speaker 9: they want to play is a winning formula in the NFL. Look,

933
00:50:32,440 --> 00:50:36,640
Speaker 9: they have a dominant offensive line one through five. When

934
00:50:36,640 --> 00:50:38,600
Speaker 9: they are healthy, they can control the line of scrimmage

935
00:50:38,600 --> 00:50:39,720
Speaker 9: against any team in the NFL.

936
00:50:40,480 --> 00:50:41,680
Speaker 7: Okay and James Cook.

937
00:50:42,400 --> 00:50:44,640
Speaker 9: As much as we'll talk about b John Robinson tonight,

938
00:50:45,440 --> 00:50:47,319
Speaker 9: James Cook can control the game on the ground as

939
00:50:47,320 --> 00:50:48,320
Speaker 9: well as any running.

940
00:50:48,040 --> 00:50:48,800
Speaker 3: Back in the NFL.

941
00:50:50,920 --> 00:50:51,840
Speaker 7: The tight ends.

942
00:50:52,000 --> 00:50:54,920
Speaker 9: Look, Dalton Kinkaid provided that he's healthy and he's going

943
00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:57,600
Speaker 9: to go on all Like, Dalton has really established a

944
00:50:57,640 --> 00:51:01,440
Speaker 9: great connection with Josh to the degree where he can

945
00:51:01,480 --> 00:51:03,120
Speaker 9: control the middle of the field as well as anyone.

946
00:51:03,239 --> 00:51:04,200
Speaker 7: If there's one knock.

947
00:51:04,480 --> 00:51:06,440
Speaker 9: And I know Brandon knows about this too, but that

948
00:51:06,560 --> 00:51:08,279
Speaker 9: being Brandon Bean that you know, because I'm sure he

949
00:51:08,320 --> 00:51:12,200
Speaker 9: gets hit up about this. If there's one knock, do

950
00:51:12,280 --> 00:51:13,800
Speaker 9: they have a home run hit or do they have

951
00:51:13,800 --> 00:51:16,359
Speaker 9: an alpha the on the perimeter, a guy who they

952
00:51:16,400 --> 00:51:19,080
Speaker 9: know that in crunch time, like Josh is always gonna

953
00:51:19,080 --> 00:51:20,000
Speaker 9: look to this one guy.

954
00:51:20,080 --> 00:51:20,120
Speaker 5: No.

955
00:51:20,320 --> 00:51:21,920
Speaker 7: Look, they subscribe.

956
00:51:21,480 --> 00:51:23,880
Speaker 9: To the principle of everyone can eat at any given

957
00:51:23,920 --> 00:51:28,200
Speaker 9: time and Khalil Shakir is an underrated wide receiver in

958
00:51:28,239 --> 00:51:28,720
Speaker 9: the NFL.

959
00:51:29,360 --> 00:51:30,040
Speaker 7: He just is.

960
00:51:30,719 --> 00:51:33,040
Speaker 9: But I think they have more than enough ingredients right

961
00:51:33,080 --> 00:51:36,200
Speaker 9: now that if they eliminate the stuff that really, you know,

962
00:51:36,360 --> 00:51:39,160
Speaker 9: came up and bit them in the rear end a.

963
00:51:39,120 --> 00:51:40,880
Speaker 7: Week ago, and they'll be good to go.

964
00:51:41,200 --> 00:51:45,879
Speaker 9: Defensively, Do they have you know, those two or three

965
00:51:45,880 --> 00:51:50,600
Speaker 9: signature game closers, No, they probably don't.

966
00:51:50,920 --> 00:51:53,719
Speaker 7: Can Greg Russo be that guy? Yeah? Has Joey been

967
00:51:53,760 --> 00:51:55,760
Speaker 7: that guy before? Yeah?

968
00:51:56,080 --> 00:51:58,520
Speaker 9: At the linebacker position, is Terrell Bernard one of the

969
00:51:58,560 --> 00:52:02,040
Speaker 9: better inside linebackers three down inside linebergers in the NFL? Yeah,

970
00:52:02,040 --> 00:52:05,759
Speaker 9: I do believe that. In the secondary, they don't have

971
00:52:05,840 --> 00:52:08,719
Speaker 9: that one, dude. But they play a team brand of

972
00:52:08,760 --> 00:52:11,360
Speaker 9: football and it's gotten them to the point where, I mean,

973
00:52:11,400 --> 00:52:12,840
Speaker 9: Steve you know as well as I do, just like

974
00:52:13,080 --> 00:52:17,080
Speaker 9: all your listeners, barring something catastrophic which knock on wood,

975
00:52:17,080 --> 00:52:18,759
Speaker 9: does not happen to this football team, because we don't

976
00:52:18,760 --> 00:52:19,200
Speaker 9: want to see that.

977
00:52:19,200 --> 00:52:20,239
Speaker 7: They're gonna be there in the end.

978
00:52:21,040 --> 00:52:22,759
Speaker 9: They're gonna be there, and they're gonna be challenging to

979
00:52:22,840 --> 00:52:25,800
Speaker 9: go out to Santa Clair and playing that Super Bowl.

980
00:52:26,120 --> 00:52:29,040
Speaker 9: They just area, So they need to kind of like

981
00:52:29,239 --> 00:52:33,560
Speaker 9: continue to build stack, develop, build stack, developed, especially on

982
00:52:33,600 --> 00:52:37,200
Speaker 9: that defensive line, get guys healthy, and then see where

983
00:52:37,200 --> 00:52:38,279
Speaker 9: it all shakes out in the end.

984
00:52:38,920 --> 00:52:42,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, speaking again, guys healthy. Lewis add Oliver returns to

985
00:52:42,200 --> 00:52:44,920
Speaker 2: the lineup for the first time since week one. Yep,

986
00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:49,880
Speaker 2: and we really saw last week what his absence means

987
00:52:50,360 --> 00:52:53,719
Speaker 2: when they're in a tight ballgame because second half Patriots

988
00:52:53,760 --> 00:52:56,680
Speaker 2: come out with split backs, they double team the ends

989
00:52:57,000 --> 00:52:59,360
Speaker 2: because they say, our guys guard to guard can handle

990
00:52:59,360 --> 00:53:02,600
Speaker 2: whoever you're play on the field defensively on the interior

991
00:53:02,719 --> 00:53:05,759
Speaker 2: because you don't have Ed Oliver and it worked. Ed

992
00:53:05,800 --> 00:53:08,600
Speaker 2: Oliver's back in the middle tonight. How can he be

993
00:53:08,640 --> 00:53:11,920
Speaker 2: a force multiplier for this defensive frontier?

994
00:53:12,160 --> 00:53:13,920
Speaker 9: Well, look, since he came into the league one, I

995
00:53:13,920 --> 00:53:16,120
Speaker 9: think he's at He's at the top of the heap

996
00:53:16,120 --> 00:53:18,279
Speaker 9: when you're talking about defensive tackles in terms of stuff

997
00:53:18,320 --> 00:53:20,279
Speaker 9: percentage tackles at or behind the.

998
00:53:20,280 --> 00:53:23,160
Speaker 7: Line of scrimmage. I mean, so the objective stats speak

999
00:53:23,160 --> 00:53:25,200
Speaker 7: for themselves what he brings.

1000
00:53:26,080 --> 00:53:29,920
Speaker 9: He has to play at least off of the interior

1001
00:53:29,920 --> 00:53:32,200
Speaker 9: of the Atlanta offensive line to a stalemate and or

1002
00:53:32,280 --> 00:53:34,399
Speaker 9: play a half a yard two yard on their side

1003
00:53:34,400 --> 00:53:37,040
Speaker 9: of the line of scrimmage to slow down this inside

1004
00:53:37,040 --> 00:53:39,719
Speaker 9: outside zone run game that they got. Because if you

1005
00:53:39,760 --> 00:53:43,120
Speaker 9: can't ever make Bijon Robinson stutter his feet a little

1006
00:53:43,120 --> 00:53:45,720
Speaker 9: bit and he can just stay on track and press

1007
00:53:45,760 --> 00:53:48,319
Speaker 9: this hole and then hit it, nor Bijon will cut

1008
00:53:48,400 --> 00:53:53,040
Speaker 9: you a new one, simple as that. So he's critical.

1009
00:53:53,800 --> 00:53:55,919
Speaker 9: We talked to Terrell Bernard last night. He said, look,

1010
00:53:56,000 --> 00:53:59,640
Speaker 9: hav An ed back is critical. How's this win going

1011
00:53:59,719 --> 00:54:02,359
Speaker 9: to be? How's he gonna be for four quarters? Those

1012
00:54:02,360 --> 00:54:03,960
Speaker 9: are the questions you have to ask. But some of

1013
00:54:04,000 --> 00:54:06,840
Speaker 9: the youngsters have to step up. They just do. The

1014
00:54:06,920 --> 00:54:10,000
Speaker 9: linebackers in this game have to play and they do.

1015
00:54:10,200 --> 00:54:15,080
Speaker 9: Look shack in Terrell and Dorian, all these guys play

1016
00:54:15,239 --> 00:54:17,319
Speaker 9: downhill with physics. I mean, that's how Sean coaches it.

1017
00:54:17,360 --> 00:54:19,360
Speaker 9: And you've got to play it this way. But there's

1018
00:54:19,640 --> 00:54:23,080
Speaker 9: You're absolutely right. Ed has to have one of those games,

1019
00:54:23,800 --> 00:54:27,560
Speaker 9: you know, And and Joey and Greg have to be

1020
00:54:27,600 --> 00:54:30,279
Speaker 9: able to set the edges. They cannot be soft on

1021
00:54:30,280 --> 00:54:33,080
Speaker 9: the perimeter. Those dudes, they got to play their best game.

1022
00:54:33,719 --> 00:54:36,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, we've seen this this offense when I've I've been

1023
00:54:36,200 --> 00:54:39,240
Speaker 4: watching the Atlanta Falcons in some of their games this season.

1024
00:54:40,120 --> 00:54:42,560
Speaker 4: Certainly be Jon Robinson is a centerpiece for them. But

1025
00:54:42,600 --> 00:54:45,760
Speaker 4: Michael Pennix, he's got a live arm. He's a lefty.

1026
00:54:46,160 --> 00:54:48,120
Speaker 4: Uh So it always catches a little off guard when

1027
00:54:48,120 --> 00:54:51,400
Speaker 4: you start when you turned the tape on. Uh. I

1028
00:54:51,440 --> 00:54:54,320
Speaker 4: gotta tell you, I like their skill, guys. London h

1029
00:54:55,320 --> 00:54:58,399
Speaker 4: is really good. Kyle Pitts of course, Mooney has been

1030
00:54:58,400 --> 00:55:01,560
Speaker 4: playing extremely well. Is they really showed up in some

1031
00:55:01,640 --> 00:55:05,040
Speaker 4: of the games to this point. I think they lose

1032
00:55:05,080 --> 00:55:09,080
Speaker 4: a little efficiency in Michael Pennix's and I can't believe

1033
00:55:09,080 --> 00:55:11,319
Speaker 4: that we're at this point in the NFL, at this

1034
00:55:11,360 --> 00:55:14,319
Speaker 4: point in history. He doesn't like to run. He'll do

1035
00:55:14,360 --> 00:55:18,520
Speaker 4: it with his arm. He's reluctant to get that first down, dive,

1036
00:55:18,600 --> 00:55:20,719
Speaker 4: slide for the first down and keep that team on

1037
00:55:20,760 --> 00:55:24,520
Speaker 4: the field. I think that's the only inefficiency I see

1038
00:55:24,560 --> 00:55:27,080
Speaker 4: in his game other than that. You know, it's just

1039
00:55:27,719 --> 00:55:29,839
Speaker 4: you know, a little more accurate with the ball, making

1040
00:55:29,920 --> 00:55:31,879
Speaker 4: better deliveries when he's on the move, that kind of thing.

1041
00:55:32,160 --> 00:55:36,319
Speaker 4: But man, oh man, this this offense, like like Brownie said,

1042
00:55:36,320 --> 00:55:38,279
Speaker 4: at the top of this thing, man, when they hit

1043
00:55:38,320 --> 00:55:41,280
Speaker 4: it on all cylinders, man They are a load.

1044
00:55:42,120 --> 00:55:45,120
Speaker 9: No doubt they are, I mean, and Steve, I mean,

1045
00:55:45,520 --> 00:55:48,799
Speaker 9: you're describing it perfectly. Like really, the one word that

1046
00:55:48,840 --> 00:55:52,400
Speaker 9: you come up with is they are a very rhythmic offense.

1047
00:55:52,520 --> 00:55:55,640
Speaker 9: If it's in rhythm and it's on time, and Michael

1048
00:55:55,760 --> 00:55:57,959
Speaker 9: never has to pat the ball in the past game

1049
00:55:58,480 --> 00:56:01,160
Speaker 9: and it's literally sitting the piss'll get the ball, catch

1050
00:56:01,200 --> 00:56:04,440
Speaker 9: and look and throw. You're in for a long night.

1051
00:56:04,880 --> 00:56:07,200
Speaker 9: You're in for a long night because then he can catch, look,

1052
00:56:07,320 --> 00:56:10,640
Speaker 9: hand it off to Bejon catch, turn, play fake, play

1053
00:56:10,680 --> 00:56:14,359
Speaker 9: action shot you and you know, like ironically, the further

1054
00:56:14,440 --> 00:56:16,360
Speaker 9: down the field he throws the football, the more accurate

1055
00:56:16,400 --> 00:56:19,200
Speaker 9: he gets. When you back him up short and intermediate,

1056
00:56:19,200 --> 00:56:21,160
Speaker 9: that's when stuff kind of gets haywar. So really, the

1057
00:56:21,200 --> 00:56:24,239
Speaker 9: thing you're talking about is you have to get him

1058
00:56:24,239 --> 00:56:25,880
Speaker 9: off rhythm. You have to get him where he catches

1059
00:56:25,880 --> 00:56:28,200
Speaker 9: the ball and looks that he's not throwing. Then its

1060
00:56:28,280 --> 00:56:30,839
Speaker 9: eyes come down. Then where's number two? Where's number three?

1061
00:56:30,840 --> 00:56:33,960
Speaker 9: And by that time, that's where that's where Greg and

1062
00:56:34,080 --> 00:56:35,880
Speaker 9: Joey Bosa have to be like, well, you don't have

1063
00:56:35,960 --> 00:56:40,319
Speaker 9: that time because now we've got you and if you

1064
00:56:40,440 --> 00:56:45,960
Speaker 9: do not tackle Bijon Robinson and have you know it

1065
00:56:46,080 --> 00:56:50,480
Speaker 9: was great because Bobby Babache said, look, we have to

1066
00:56:50,480 --> 00:56:52,560
Speaker 9: make sure that Bejon sees a sea of red, white

1067
00:56:52,600 --> 00:56:55,400
Speaker 9: and blue all night long. If you don't have eleven

1068
00:56:55,440 --> 00:56:57,160
Speaker 9: hats to the ball, he's gonna make the first guys

1069
00:56:57,560 --> 00:56:59,399
Speaker 9: how many times on a percentage basi is the first

1070
00:56:59,400 --> 00:57:02,880
Speaker 9: guy gonna get Bejon Robinson down? So yeah, they have

1071
00:57:02,960 --> 00:57:08,880
Speaker 9: got speed, they've got sized. Drake London's beast and Kyle Pitts.

1072
00:57:10,040 --> 00:57:12,720
Speaker 9: Kyle Pitts has become someone who now is playing with confidence.

1073
00:57:12,719 --> 00:57:15,160
Speaker 9: He's playing for a new contracts, he's in the contract year.

1074
00:57:15,320 --> 00:57:17,600
Speaker 9: Michael Pennix and him get along much better. They have

1075
00:57:17,640 --> 00:57:21,280
Speaker 9: a great rapport. Michael holds him accountable. You tell me

1076
00:57:21,360 --> 00:57:23,880
Speaker 9: what defensive back, what safety or inside backer can deal

1077
00:57:23,920 --> 00:57:26,560
Speaker 9: with Michael Pitts. When I mean with Kyle Pitts when

1078
00:57:26,600 --> 00:57:29,000
Speaker 9: he is locked in, there isn't anybody.

1079
00:57:29,280 --> 00:57:30,280
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, they're scary.

1080
00:57:30,880 --> 00:57:34,640
Speaker 3: They're flipping it over to the Falcons defense.

1081
00:57:36,080 --> 00:57:38,840
Speaker 2: You know they have pass rushing talent, you know, Leonard

1082
00:57:38,840 --> 00:57:41,600
Speaker 2: Floyd and the two first round picks, you know, can

1083
00:57:41,640 --> 00:57:47,000
Speaker 2: really bend the edge. I just find it interesting. You

1084
00:57:47,040 --> 00:57:49,680
Speaker 2: know their sack percentage looks good, but you watch them

1085
00:57:49,720 --> 00:57:53,920
Speaker 2: on film and they don't look as terrorizing as maybe

1086
00:57:53,960 --> 00:57:56,840
Speaker 2: they do on paper. And again, I keep coming back

1087
00:57:56,880 --> 00:58:00,520
Speaker 2: to this thing, like, and the talent is there? Where

1088
00:58:00,600 --> 00:58:04,760
Speaker 2: is the down ins, down out, series in series out

1089
00:58:05,160 --> 00:58:08,760
Speaker 2: ability that you know these players have within them. And

1090
00:58:08,800 --> 00:58:10,560
Speaker 2: I know some of it's on the back end. I

1091
00:58:10,560 --> 00:58:12,880
Speaker 2: know Mike Hughes has been victimized on the outside and

1092
00:58:12,920 --> 00:58:15,240
Speaker 2: maybe that's an area the Bills look to exploit tonight.

1093
00:58:15,760 --> 00:58:18,960
Speaker 2: But their linebackers are good. You know, Divine Diablo and

1094
00:58:19,040 --> 00:58:23,280
Speaker 2: Kate Ellis are athletes. They move them around as chess pieces. Again,

1095
00:58:23,440 --> 00:58:26,720
Speaker 2: I just don't feel like it's an eleven man unit

1096
00:58:26,760 --> 00:58:29,040
Speaker 2: that's just screaming at you for four quarters.

1097
00:58:29,320 --> 00:58:31,400
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean you're hitting the nail on the head.

1098
00:58:31,720 --> 00:58:33,720
Speaker 9: There's a lot of great individual pieces there.

1099
00:58:34,680 --> 00:58:35,200
Speaker 7: They have.

1100
00:58:36,960 --> 00:58:39,640
Speaker 9: The opportunity right now to come together and really have

1101
00:58:39,680 --> 00:58:43,040
Speaker 9: a breakout style game. And then the question is, and look,

1102
00:58:43,120 --> 00:58:45,840
Speaker 9: you guys know in the NFL, as I used to

1103
00:58:45,880 --> 00:58:47,360
Speaker 9: be told all the time when I was in the league,

1104
00:58:47,360 --> 00:58:49,480
Speaker 9: and I'm sure Steve you've heard this before in your career.

1105
00:58:49,520 --> 00:58:52,560
Speaker 9: Although you were one of the best players ever, it's

1106
00:58:52,560 --> 00:58:54,120
Speaker 9: not whether or not you can do it one time,

1107
00:58:54,160 --> 00:58:55,680
Speaker 9: it's whether you can do it the next week and

1108
00:58:55,720 --> 00:58:57,160
Speaker 9: the next week and the next week. And that's what

1109
00:58:57,280 --> 00:59:00,640
Speaker 9: separates average from good, good to great, right from guys

1110
00:59:00,640 --> 00:59:02,040
Speaker 9: who go in the Hall of Fame. The Hall of

1111
00:59:02,040 --> 00:59:04,240
Speaker 9: Famer is able to call upon that talent over and

1112
00:59:04,280 --> 00:59:06,720
Speaker 9: over and over in the biggest spots and over and over.

1113
00:59:06,920 --> 00:59:09,600
Speaker 9: Buffalo is more than I mean, Atlanta's more than capable.

1114
00:59:09,640 --> 00:59:11,760
Speaker 9: These kids just have to and I say kids, I

1115
00:59:11,800 --> 00:59:12,880
Speaker 9: mean because there's.

1116
00:59:12,680 --> 00:59:14,080
Speaker 7: So much youth on this football team.

1117
00:59:14,120 --> 00:59:18,120
Speaker 9: They just need to have some success and stack those successes,

1118
00:59:18,680 --> 00:59:20,480
Speaker 9: you know, a week after week, and they could be

1119
00:59:20,520 --> 00:59:24,320
Speaker 9: a very dangerous team at all three levels. They've got athletes,

1120
00:59:24,800 --> 00:59:27,480
Speaker 9: and I mean premium if you want to use college

1121
00:59:27,480 --> 00:59:30,240
Speaker 9: football vernacular, premium five star athletes.

1122
00:59:30,680 --> 00:59:31,520
Speaker 7: They've got them.

1123
00:59:32,000 --> 00:59:32,080
Speaker 5: Well.

1124
00:59:32,240 --> 00:59:36,400
Speaker 9: James Pearce, James Pearce is athletically maybe in the top

1125
00:59:36,480 --> 00:59:39,720
Speaker 9: three or four pound per pound in the NFL. You're

1126
00:59:39,720 --> 00:59:41,760
Speaker 9: talking about six five, two hundred and fifty pound guy

1127
00:59:41,800 --> 00:59:45,680
Speaker 9: who runs four four six. He can get Jalen Walker

1128
00:59:45,720 --> 00:59:48,840
Speaker 9: won the Buckets Award. He can rush the passer and

1129
00:59:48,880 --> 00:59:52,000
Speaker 9: play off ball. Arnold at Pikati from Penn State is

1130
00:59:52,040 --> 00:59:54,320
Speaker 9: one of the most underrated pass rushers in the NFL.

1131
00:59:55,320 --> 00:59:58,640
Speaker 9: Kayen ellis get you try to block him with a

1132
00:59:58,720 --> 01:00:01,160
Speaker 9: with a running back, you lose, You lose the game.

1133
01:00:02,240 --> 01:00:03,640
Speaker 7: And you know, aj.

1134
01:00:03,480 --> 01:00:06,000
Speaker 9: Terrell at one point was considered maybe one of the

1135
01:00:06,000 --> 01:00:09,240
Speaker 9: top three or four man the man covers corners in

1136
01:00:09,280 --> 01:00:09,840
Speaker 9: the NFL.

1137
01:00:10,160 --> 01:00:13,480
Speaker 7: I mean, they just got Xavier Watson and Jesse Bates.

1138
01:00:13,480 --> 01:00:17,360
Speaker 9: They've got dudes everywhere. But it's not about those individual guys.

1139
01:00:18,000 --> 01:00:20,480
Speaker 9: It's about the unit. It's about the collective. And see,

1140
01:00:21,160 --> 01:00:23,120
Speaker 9: that's the one thing that I think sometimes when people

1141
01:00:23,120 --> 01:00:25,040
Speaker 9: look at Buffalo, they go but they don't have all

1142
01:00:25,040 --> 01:00:26,520
Speaker 9: the they don't have a bunch of superstars. How are

1143
01:00:26,520 --> 01:00:29,080
Speaker 9: they win because they play like a team. Yeah, and

1144
01:00:29,120 --> 01:00:32,000
Speaker 9: we all know that, we all know it, but well

1145
01:00:32,160 --> 01:00:34,320
Speaker 9: we always question it. But in the end, that's why

1146
01:00:34,360 --> 01:00:38,160
Speaker 9: I'm saying Buffalo is gonna be there. This tonight is

1147
01:00:38,160 --> 01:00:40,840
Speaker 9: about the Falcons trying to announce, Hey, we need to

1148
01:00:40,840 --> 01:00:43,480
Speaker 9: slay one of the big dogs in the NFL and

1149
01:00:43,520 --> 01:00:45,000
Speaker 9: see then if we can do it, you know, in

1150
01:00:45,040 --> 01:00:46,760
Speaker 9: the next week and the next week, it's a great

1151
01:00:46,800 --> 01:00:50,280
Speaker 9: measuring stick for them. For Buffalo, it's about saying, Okay,

1152
01:00:51,040 --> 01:00:53,120
Speaker 9: let's just show everyone that last week was an operation.

1153
01:00:53,240 --> 01:00:55,720
Speaker 7: That's not us, that's not how we play, and just

1154
01:00:55,800 --> 01:00:56,480
Speaker 7: do what they do.

1155
01:00:57,120 --> 01:00:59,959
Speaker 9: That's why it's a fantastic matchup for us to call.

1156
01:01:00,160 --> 01:01:02,120
Speaker 4: Give us an idea of what rayheem head coach of

1157
01:01:02,160 --> 01:01:05,040
Speaker 4: the Falcons, Rayhee Morris has had to say about his team.

1158
01:01:05,600 --> 01:01:09,240
Speaker 4: And also, I thought it was a pretty good move

1159
01:01:09,320 --> 01:01:11,160
Speaker 4: when he picked up Jeff Oulber, when he put his

1160
01:01:11,160 --> 01:01:13,760
Speaker 4: staff together and Jeff Oulbrick came over his defensive coordinator.

1161
01:01:14,560 --> 01:01:17,360
Speaker 4: I didn't know anything about Zach Robinson, you know, so

1162
01:01:17,400 --> 01:01:20,040
Speaker 4: I don't know anything about the offensive coordinator. But Jeff

1163
01:01:20,080 --> 01:01:23,400
Speaker 4: Ulbrick we had some experience with here in Buffalo playing

1164
01:01:23,440 --> 01:01:26,640
Speaker 4: against his defenses. What's Rayhee Moose say about his team?

1165
01:01:26,680 --> 01:01:28,600
Speaker 4: What's his rhetoric been coming out? What's his message to

1166
01:01:28,640 --> 01:01:31,800
Speaker 4: you guys about, you know, his team and how it's

1167
01:01:31,800 --> 01:01:32,320
Speaker 4: coming together.

1168
01:01:33,040 --> 01:01:34,960
Speaker 7: Yeah, Rollim is all energy, man.

1169
01:01:35,360 --> 01:01:35,880
Speaker 4: He is.

1170
01:01:37,520 --> 01:01:40,000
Speaker 9: The moment you're in his presence, you feel the juice,

1171
01:01:40,080 --> 01:01:43,120
Speaker 9: the electricity, the wanting to connect with you on a

1172
01:01:43,160 --> 01:01:46,800
Speaker 9: personal level and trying to find whatever in he can

1173
01:01:46,840 --> 01:01:49,400
Speaker 9: with you in order to maximize your strengths. And players

1174
01:01:49,440 --> 01:01:52,800
Speaker 9: love that the players here in Atlanta love that about him.

1175
01:01:53,040 --> 01:01:54,960
Speaker 9: He's a guy who's coached on both sides of the ball.

1176
01:01:55,000 --> 01:01:57,840
Speaker 9: He's coached wide receivers, he's coached defensive backs. He's so

1177
01:01:57,920 --> 01:02:00,960
Speaker 9: he's kind of got two. He's got that dual perspective

1178
01:02:01,000 --> 01:02:03,600
Speaker 9: that obviously, you know, can really give a coach an

1179
01:02:03,600 --> 01:02:05,720
Speaker 9: advantage because he can see the game from both sides

1180
01:02:05,720 --> 01:02:07,560
Speaker 9: of the football and relate to all fifty three guys

1181
01:02:07,600 --> 01:02:08,040
Speaker 9: in the roster.

1182
01:02:08,160 --> 01:02:09,200
Speaker 7: Not everybody can do that.

1183
01:02:10,440 --> 01:02:12,440
Speaker 9: He feels as though his team is right on the cusp.

1184
01:02:12,480 --> 01:02:15,959
Speaker 9: They're right there, they're right there ready to explode. Now,

1185
01:02:16,680 --> 01:02:19,080
Speaker 9: you know, obviously they've turned the page from Kirk to

1186
01:02:19,160 --> 01:02:21,680
Speaker 9: where now they turned the football over football team over

1187
01:02:21,720 --> 01:02:22,480
Speaker 9: to Michael Pennix.

1188
01:02:23,080 --> 01:02:24,160
Speaker 7: Michaels just has.

1189
01:02:24,320 --> 01:02:26,240
Speaker 9: To kind of get some time in the cockpit now

1190
01:02:26,280 --> 01:02:30,120
Speaker 9: and just kind of gain confidence. Zach Robinson, the offensive coordinator,

1191
01:02:30,120 --> 01:02:33,920
Speaker 9: who's kind of a you know, he's a Sean McVay

1192
01:02:34,000 --> 01:02:38,800
Speaker 9: West Coast, that kind of Kyle and Sean, that kind

1193
01:02:38,840 --> 01:02:41,920
Speaker 9: of offense, zone blocking, scheme, play action past type of guy.

1194
01:02:41,960 --> 01:02:44,640
Speaker 7: But now he you know, he's kind of pulled.

1195
01:02:44,360 --> 01:02:46,640
Speaker 9: A little bit of the Mike McDaniel flavor in terms

1196
01:02:46,640 --> 01:02:48,640
Speaker 9: of putting penis in the pistol like they do down

1197
01:02:48,640 --> 01:02:49,520
Speaker 9: in Miami with Tuist.

1198
01:02:49,520 --> 01:02:50,840
Speaker 7: So it's got a little bit of that to it.

1199
01:02:51,600 --> 01:02:54,919
Speaker 9: And they are they are really a team that can

1200
01:02:55,160 --> 01:02:56,800
Speaker 9: really hit you in multiple ways.

1201
01:02:57,760 --> 01:03:00,520
Speaker 7: They got a lot of a lot of self.

1202
01:03:00,320 --> 01:03:03,560
Speaker 9: Confidence, a lot of unity, I believe in this locker room,

1203
01:03:03,720 --> 01:03:06,240
Speaker 9: and they are itching to kind of announce their arrival

1204
01:03:06,600 --> 01:03:09,080
Speaker 9: and say that the team that you saw against Washington

1205
01:03:09,480 --> 01:03:12,200
Speaker 9: and the team you saw against Minnesota is more of

1206
01:03:12,240 --> 01:03:14,280
Speaker 9: who we are, not the team you saw two weeks

1207
01:03:14,320 --> 01:03:17,800
Speaker 9: ago against Carolina that wound up pulling their starting quarterback

1208
01:03:17,840 --> 01:03:20,120
Speaker 9: out of the game because he was struggling so bad.

1209
01:03:20,440 --> 01:03:22,720
Speaker 7: So that's how a lot of young teams go.

1210
01:03:23,400 --> 01:03:25,800
Speaker 9: You know, the guys just have to have more time

1211
01:03:25,840 --> 01:03:27,680
Speaker 9: on task in order to kind of figure out that

1212
01:03:28,040 --> 01:03:29,880
Speaker 9: this is how you do it, this is how you

1213
01:03:29,960 --> 01:03:30,480
Speaker 9: sustain it.

1214
01:03:30,480 --> 01:03:31,240
Speaker 7: From week to week.

1215
01:03:32,760 --> 01:03:35,120
Speaker 9: And the only way to really find that out just

1216
01:03:35,200 --> 01:03:38,720
Speaker 9: really where you are is playing teams like Buffalo. And

1217
01:03:38,800 --> 01:03:40,400
Speaker 9: let me tell you this, look, Sean McDermott.

1218
01:03:40,480 --> 01:03:41,760
Speaker 7: Right now, as.

1219
01:03:41,720 --> 01:03:44,400
Speaker 9: Much as we think we know this football team, because

1220
01:03:44,440 --> 01:03:46,920
Speaker 9: all the primary players are, you know, still in place,

1221
01:03:47,480 --> 01:03:50,000
Speaker 9: every team is different and as he told us, I'm

1222
01:03:50,000 --> 01:03:52,040
Speaker 9: still trying to find out some things about our team

1223
01:03:52,080 --> 01:03:54,680
Speaker 9: this year. Did a little nuance about our own team,

1224
01:03:55,120 --> 01:03:56,320
Speaker 9: so I know how to kind of.

1225
01:03:56,280 --> 01:03:59,240
Speaker 7: Coach it and correct it and continue to develop.

1226
01:03:58,880 --> 01:04:01,640
Speaker 9: It as we move down the stretch. So it's not

1227
01:04:01,720 --> 01:04:03,440
Speaker 9: a it's not a wall at Buffalo.

1228
01:04:03,440 --> 01:04:04,080
Speaker 7: We know who we are.

1229
01:04:04,120 --> 01:04:06,360
Speaker 9: We can just roll our helmets out there. And Atlanta's

1230
01:04:06,360 --> 01:04:08,360
Speaker 9: trying to find themselves. No, both of these teams still

1231
01:04:08,360 --> 01:04:09,600
Speaker 9: are trying to find themselves.

1232
01:04:09,960 --> 01:04:14,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, in your conversations with Raheem, I'm wondering if he

1233
01:04:14,880 --> 01:04:18,800
Speaker 2: addressed what seems to be plaguing them in the red zone,

1234
01:04:18,840 --> 01:04:21,080
Speaker 2: both on offense and on defense. I know there haven't

1235
01:04:21,080 --> 01:04:23,880
Speaker 2: been a lot of possessions by opponents in their red zone.

1236
01:04:23,880 --> 01:04:27,040
Speaker 2: They've only played four games, but we know they have

1237
01:04:27,120 --> 01:04:29,320
Speaker 2: the skill position players that could bust off a sixty

1238
01:04:29,400 --> 01:04:30,840
Speaker 2: yard touchdown. They don't even have to get to the

1239
01:04:30,880 --> 01:04:32,760
Speaker 2: red zone and worry about it. But when they get

1240
01:04:32,800 --> 01:04:35,240
Speaker 2: down there, they're in the bottom through of the league

1241
01:04:35,280 --> 01:04:37,440
Speaker 2: on both sides of the ball. I'm curious if Raheem

1242
01:04:37,440 --> 01:04:39,160
Speaker 2: had an answer for that or something he could put

1243
01:04:39,200 --> 01:04:39,640
Speaker 2: his finger on.

1244
01:04:40,120 --> 01:04:42,280
Speaker 9: No, I think when you're talking about that. It's just

1245
01:04:43,480 --> 01:04:45,960
Speaker 9: it's about the details down there. Obviously, you want to

1246
01:04:45,960 --> 01:04:48,200
Speaker 9: be effective running the football in the red area because

1247
01:04:48,200 --> 01:04:50,880
Speaker 9: the windows are so tight when it comes time to

1248
01:04:50,920 --> 01:04:52,880
Speaker 9: throw it. So you can't get off scheduled down there.

1249
01:04:52,880 --> 01:04:55,439
Speaker 9: You can't get behind the sticks. You can't have self

1250
01:04:55,440 --> 01:04:58,800
Speaker 9: inflicted penalties, you can't have misreads, you can't have wrong

1251
01:04:58,880 --> 01:05:02,240
Speaker 9: routes being run, you can't have bad communication on the

1252
01:05:02,240 --> 01:05:04,520
Speaker 9: back end. On the defensive side, you gotta be set right.

1253
01:05:04,760 --> 01:05:08,720
Speaker 9: There's a myriad of things that come into why you

1254
01:05:08,760 --> 01:05:10,600
Speaker 9: don't have the kind of efficiency in the red zone

1255
01:05:10,640 --> 01:05:14,760
Speaker 9: offensively and defensively, And you can point to any number

1256
01:05:14,800 --> 01:05:16,720
Speaker 9: of those things that I just talked about. They just

1257
01:05:16,720 --> 01:05:19,080
Speaker 9: got to clean all that stuff up. It's not just

1258
01:05:19,200 --> 01:05:23,520
Speaker 9: one glaring thing or one glaring individual down there. It's

1259
01:05:23,560 --> 01:05:27,240
Speaker 9: all about it's all about collective communication, you know. I

1260
01:05:27,240 --> 01:05:29,800
Speaker 9: mean I say this all the time on broadcast. The

1261
01:05:29,840 --> 01:05:32,919
Speaker 9: red zone is my favorite area to talk about because

1262
01:05:32,920 --> 01:05:35,720
Speaker 9: the red area is for smart football players because everything

1263
01:05:35,760 --> 01:05:38,680
Speaker 9: happens so fast and you have no margin for error.

1264
01:05:39,080 --> 01:05:40,840
Speaker 9: And I think with this team as young as it is,

1265
01:05:42,560 --> 01:05:44,520
Speaker 9: they got to understand, they got they got to grow

1266
01:05:44,520 --> 01:05:46,960
Speaker 9: to understand that, and I think that's something that's a

1267
01:05:46,960 --> 01:05:48,880
Speaker 9: point of emphasis for them. Let's just put it that way,

1268
01:05:49,040 --> 01:05:51,320
Speaker 9: so we'll see how they improve.

1269
01:05:52,040 --> 01:05:55,400
Speaker 4: What is the if you're you know, Jeff Olbrick in

1270
01:05:55,440 --> 01:05:58,200
Speaker 4: the Atlanta Falcons and Raheem Morris, what when you look

1271
01:05:58,200 --> 01:06:02,040
Speaker 4: at this Bill's offense. Certainly James Cook and Josh Allen

1272
01:06:02,080 --> 01:06:04,080
Speaker 4: at the top of the list, But what what do

1273
01:06:04,160 --> 01:06:06,560
Speaker 4: they throw out with this everybody each mentality? How does

1274
01:06:06,560 --> 01:06:10,960
Speaker 4: that change their philosophy of getting ready for this team.

1275
01:06:11,200 --> 01:06:14,800
Speaker 9: Yeah, it's one of those where obviously then you know

1276
01:06:15,000 --> 01:06:18,440
Speaker 9: the core fundamentals of how you play defense, and understanding

1277
01:06:18,480 --> 01:06:20,160
Speaker 9: what the strengths of each defense that you call and

1278
01:06:20,240 --> 01:06:23,080
Speaker 9: what the weaknesses are really become the focal point along

1279
01:06:23,160 --> 01:06:27,480
Speaker 9: with obviously everything starts with number seventeen, regardless of who's playing.

1280
01:06:28,280 --> 01:06:30,840
Speaker 9: So you better be great with your past rush lanes,

1281
01:06:30,880 --> 01:06:33,840
Speaker 9: great with your spy principles if that's what you use.

1282
01:06:33,880 --> 01:06:35,720
Speaker 9: You better be great on the outside as far as

1283
01:06:35,760 --> 01:06:38,919
Speaker 9: when you play man to man coverage, when you play zone,

1284
01:06:38,920 --> 01:06:41,360
Speaker 9: you better have good eyes on Josh at all times.

1285
01:06:43,160 --> 01:06:46,320
Speaker 9: You gotta understand that, Hey, look they're going to hit

1286
01:06:46,360 --> 01:06:48,040
Speaker 9: some of their plays. Josh is going to do those

1287
01:06:48,080 --> 01:06:52,080
Speaker 9: things that only he can do so very rarely, especially

1288
01:06:52,120 --> 01:06:54,760
Speaker 9: in the passing game. You got to understand that every

1289
01:06:54,800 --> 01:06:58,000
Speaker 9: play basically has two plays wrapped in the one. There's

1290
01:06:58,040 --> 01:07:00,600
Speaker 9: the one that's supposed to happen on time and in rhythm,

1291
01:07:01,120 --> 01:07:03,120
Speaker 9: and then there's the one that happens when Josh says, well,

1292
01:07:03,160 --> 01:07:04,920
Speaker 9: I don't like what's supposed to happen on time and

1293
01:07:04,960 --> 01:07:06,920
Speaker 9: in rhythm, so now I'm about to pull out my

1294
01:07:07,000 --> 01:07:10,680
Speaker 9: cape and do my thing. And sometimes there ain't nothing

1295
01:07:10,720 --> 01:07:13,680
Speaker 9: you can do about that. And see, that's that's the

1296
01:07:13,720 --> 01:07:16,840
Speaker 9: frustrating and exhausting thing with playing a guy like Josh

1297
01:07:16,920 --> 01:07:19,160
Speaker 9: Allen or back in the day, playing against a guy

1298
01:07:19,160 --> 01:07:22,160
Speaker 9: like Steve Young, or playing against you know, guys like

1299
01:07:22,240 --> 01:07:25,720
Speaker 9: John Elway, because you can do it all right, and

1300
01:07:25,760 --> 01:07:28,320
Speaker 9: you sit there and you go, now, what am I

1301
01:07:28,320 --> 01:07:31,040
Speaker 9: supposed to do when they start doing that crap, when

1302
01:07:31,040 --> 01:07:36,240
Speaker 9: they start doing those things that aren't coached, and so yeah,

1303
01:07:36,240 --> 01:07:38,800
Speaker 9: for Jeff Oldbrick, it's kind of like, hey, look, let's

1304
01:07:38,840 --> 01:07:42,480
Speaker 9: focus on our fundamentals. Let's start with seventeen. Let's try

1305
01:07:42,480 --> 01:07:46,200
Speaker 9: and limit four's explosive runs. And after that it's eleven

1306
01:07:46,240 --> 01:07:48,200
Speaker 9: hats to the rock, and you better play physical because

1307
01:07:48,200 --> 01:07:49,720
Speaker 9: you know how this offensive line is going to try

1308
01:07:49,720 --> 01:07:50,120
Speaker 9: and play you.

1309
01:07:50,880 --> 01:07:51,480
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1310
01:07:52,000 --> 01:07:54,000
Speaker 2: Uh, Lewis, I don't have to tell you about rabid

1311
01:07:54,040 --> 01:07:59,400
Speaker 2: fan bases. The Bills fans travel well as you well know.

1312
01:07:59,480 --> 01:08:01,480
Speaker 2: I mean you watch your older brother and Steve in

1313
01:08:01,520 --> 01:08:03,000
Speaker 2: front of these fans for many years.

1314
01:08:03,600 --> 01:08:04,480
Speaker 3: Uh.

1315
01:08:04,040 --> 01:08:07,680
Speaker 2: There they are threatening a takeover here in Atlanta. So

1316
01:08:07,800 --> 01:08:09,600
Speaker 2: keep out, keep an eye out for the red, white

1317
01:08:09,640 --> 01:08:12,439
Speaker 2: and blue jerseys in the stands here tonight because they're

1318
01:08:12,560 --> 01:08:14,880

01:08:21,120 --> 01:08:21,360

01:08:54,640 --> 01:08:57,639
Speaker 2: Orlovsky and Chris Foller on ESPN on the TV side

1331
01:08:57,680 --> 01:09:02,160
Speaker 2: of this doubleheader night, the second game is Bears and Commanders,

1332
01:09:02,840 --> 01:09:07,439
Speaker 2: and I'm assuming that Joe Buck and Troy Aikman will

1333
01:09:07,479 --> 01:09:09,040
Speaker 2: be calling that game.

1334
01:09:09,640 --> 01:09:11,800
Speaker 3: Uh, we're asking you.

1335
01:09:11,800 --> 01:09:13,720
Speaker 2: You heard from Lewis what he thinks the Bills need

1336
01:09:13,800 --> 01:09:15,160
Speaker 2: to do to get a win tonight. What do you

1337
01:09:15,280 --> 01:09:18,000
Speaker 2: need to see tonight for the Bills to get a

1338
01:09:18,040 --> 01:09:21,720
Speaker 2: win on the road in Atlanta. Eight oh three, five

1339
01:09:21,720 --> 01:09:24,840
Speaker 2: point fifty one eighty eight, five fifty two, five fifty

1340
01:09:24,880 --> 01:09:26,680
Speaker 2: those are the numbers to join us, and we do

1341
01:09:26,760 --> 01:09:27,640
Speaker 2: have open lines for you.

1342
01:09:27,680 --> 01:09:29,519
Speaker 3: We did want to crack open the tweet scheet though,

1343
01:09:29,560 --> 01:09:31,680
Speaker 3: and take a look over there. See what you have

1344
01:09:31,760 --> 01:09:32,040
Speaker 3: to say.

1345
01:09:32,080 --> 01:09:34,760
Speaker 2: Tweet sheet brought to you by Corrigan Moving Systems, the

1346
01:09:34,800 --> 01:09:38,559
Speaker 2: official equipment moving company of the Buffalo Bills, and from say,

1347
01:09:38,600 --> 01:09:44,120
Speaker 2: when they say do not over pursue, maintain gap discipline,

1348
01:09:44,680 --> 01:09:48,639
Speaker 2: don't force the ball, and clean up the penalties, sounds

1349
01:09:48,640 --> 01:09:50,840
Speaker 2: like a lot of don'ts in there, Steve. That's usually

1350
01:09:50,880 --> 01:09:53,000
Speaker 2: not the way the coaches go about it. They tell

1351
01:09:53,000 --> 01:09:55,640
Speaker 2: you what to do rather than what to not do.

1352
01:09:55,880 --> 01:10:00,439
Speaker 4: Right, that's right, that's right. Take proper angles.

1353
01:10:00,920 --> 01:10:02,519
Speaker 3: Yeah, positive reinforced.

1354
01:10:02,600 --> 01:10:06,200
Speaker 4: Stay in your gap, stay in your gap, take what

1355
01:10:06,479 --> 01:10:10,759
Speaker 4: take what's there, and uh be disciplined in your penalty.

1356
01:10:10,840 --> 01:10:13,120
Speaker 4: You know, line up right and don't jump off sides.

1357
01:10:13,600 --> 01:10:16,080
Speaker 3: So yeah, and I will say Steve that.

1358
01:10:16,360 --> 01:10:20,040
Speaker 2: On defense, one of the things that we've seen that

1359
01:10:20,120 --> 01:10:23,599
Speaker 2: has been a persistent problem through the first five games

1360
01:10:23,640 --> 01:10:27,840
Speaker 2: is mistackles and b John Robinson's the kind of back

1361
01:10:27,840 --> 01:10:30,639
Speaker 2: that will make you look silly, even if you use

1362
01:10:30,760 --> 01:10:34,320
Speaker 2: proper technique. You go at this guy and you're at

1363
01:10:34,320 --> 01:10:36,800
Speaker 2: a position forget it. You might as well be a

1364
01:10:37,120 --> 01:10:37,759
Speaker 2: road code.

1365
01:10:37,960 --> 01:10:42,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, I've seen I've seen a lot of guys over

1366
01:10:42,160 --> 01:10:43,920
Speaker 4: the weekend. You know, this is one of those rare

1367
01:10:43,960 --> 01:10:46,080
Speaker 4: weekends when we all get to watch other teams play.

1368
01:10:46,720 --> 01:10:51,880
Speaker 4: And you've got to be a willing tackler. You got

1369
01:10:52,000 --> 01:10:55,280
Speaker 4: you just have to. You have to be willing to

1370
01:10:56,439 --> 01:11:02,559
Speaker 4: risk hurting after a tackle. I'm there were a lot

1371
01:11:02,560 --> 01:11:05,439
Speaker 4: of business decisions yesterday when guys busting into the end

1372
01:11:05,479 --> 01:11:08,920
Speaker 4: zone that Green Bay game playing against. And I can't

1373
01:11:08,960 --> 01:11:12,240
Speaker 4: remember who Green Bay played against, I'll have Cincinnati. Yeah,

1374
01:11:12,479 --> 01:11:15,679
Speaker 4: there were some Cincinnati defenders that were making business decisions

1375
01:11:15,760 --> 01:11:17,400
Speaker 4: the goal on They just didn't want any part of it.

1376
01:11:18,479 --> 01:11:20,280
Speaker 4: You gotta be willing to do that. You gotta you

1377
01:11:20,320 --> 01:11:22,920
Speaker 4: gotta throw your wheels. You gotta throw yourself in front

1378
01:11:22,960 --> 01:11:25,360
Speaker 4: of the wheels of the chariot to stop it. I mean,

1379
01:11:25,400 --> 01:11:27,679
Speaker 4: you've got to jump in front of the horses. And

1380
01:11:28,520 --> 01:11:31,000
Speaker 4: a lot of guys just don't, and they end up

1381
01:11:31,040 --> 01:11:35,040
Speaker 4: getting dragged and pulled along and they'll make a they'll

1382
01:11:35,080 --> 01:11:37,320
Speaker 4: make a great big show of going trying to rip

1383
01:11:37,360 --> 01:11:40,639
Speaker 4: the ball out and all that, when actuality, the guys

1384
01:11:40,640 --> 01:11:43,880
Speaker 4: should have been tackled, you know, ten yards behind. So

1385
01:11:45,280 --> 01:11:51,439
Speaker 4: you gotta be It starts with the willingness to get

1386
01:11:51,439 --> 01:11:55,439
Speaker 4: the guy on the ground no matter what. And that's

1387
01:11:55,520 --> 01:11:58,799
Speaker 4: that's where it starts. And then, you know, some guys,

1388
01:11:59,240 --> 01:12:02,920
Speaker 4: it's so frush straight for me to see guys overrun tackles. Now,

1389
01:12:02,960 --> 01:12:05,200
Speaker 4: certainly guys can change direction and they get and they

1390
01:12:05,320 --> 01:12:08,200
Speaker 4: change direction because they think you've over committed. Uh And

1391
01:12:08,240 --> 01:12:10,719
Speaker 4: a lot of times that's true. You can't you can't

1392
01:12:10,760 --> 01:12:15,479
Speaker 4: let them do that. You the first guy that can

1393
01:12:15,479 --> 01:12:18,040
Speaker 4: get to the ball has to get the guy on

1394
01:12:18,120 --> 01:12:20,599
Speaker 4: the ground. That's what it takes to be a good

1395
01:12:20,680 --> 01:12:22,439
Speaker 4: that's it. That's what it takes to.

1396
01:12:22,360 --> 01:12:24,599
Speaker 3: Be good, hang on until health gets there.

1397
01:12:24,680 --> 01:12:26,559
Speaker 4: Get the guy on the ground. If the first guy

1398
01:12:26,720 --> 01:12:30,080
Speaker 4: makes the tackle, you're gonna have a top two or

1399
01:12:30,080 --> 01:12:33,479
Speaker 4: three defense in the league. The Bills are not a

1400
01:12:33,520 --> 01:12:35,400
Speaker 4: top two or three defense in the league because they

1401
01:12:35,479 --> 01:12:40,360
Speaker 4: got too many guys whiffing at the top of the tackle.

1402
01:12:42,040 --> 01:12:44,640
Speaker 4: Too many guys and they over pursue, they take a

1403
01:12:44,640 --> 01:12:48,519
Speaker 4: bad angle, they allow the runner to get leverage on them.

1404
01:12:49,000 --> 01:12:53,920
Speaker 4: They just can't do it. If they've cleaned that up. Yeah,

1405
01:12:54,160 --> 01:12:56,360
Speaker 4: the yardage will drop. The yardage they're the yards they're

1406
01:12:56,360 --> 01:12:58,320
Speaker 4: giving up will drop significantly.

1407
01:13:00,200 --> 01:13:02,040
Speaker 2: Let's go to the phones at eight oh three zero

1408
01:13:02,120 --> 01:13:04,639
Speaker 2: five point fifty one eight eight eight five fifty two

1409
01:13:04,680 --> 01:13:07,040
Speaker 2: five point fifty and to Chris and only end.

1410
01:13:07,080 --> 01:13:08,280
Speaker 3: What's up? Chris?

1411
01:13:09,040 --> 01:13:12,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, I was just wondering, do you see that bringing

1412
01:13:12,080 --> 01:13:16,040
Speaker 6: up Kate Davis anytime, Queen to wide receiver cord.

1413
01:13:18,479 --> 01:13:18,880
Speaker 4: I don't.

1414
01:13:19,120 --> 01:13:22,400
Speaker 2: Well, I mean step one is he's got to get

1415
01:13:22,439 --> 01:13:28,120
Speaker 2: from practice squad injured to healthy practice squad. So he's

1416
01:13:28,160 --> 01:13:31,240
Speaker 2: on practice squad injured list right now, trying to get back.

1417
01:13:31,600 --> 01:13:32,439
Speaker 3: To full health.

1418
01:13:32,680 --> 01:13:36,200
Speaker 2: That's step one before he's even a consideration for either

1419
01:13:36,320 --> 01:13:40,559
Speaker 2: a a practice squad elevation or be an active roster

1420
01:13:40,640 --> 01:13:43,920
Speaker 2: spot on the fifty three man rosters. So I mean,

1421
01:13:44,560 --> 01:13:47,600
Speaker 2: could it happen? Sure, will it happen? We got to

1422
01:13:47,640 --> 01:13:50,479
Speaker 2: get past step one, which he's an injured player, right.

1423
01:13:50,720 --> 01:13:52,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, you'll hear, you'll have a ramp up time that

1424
01:13:52,760 --> 01:13:56,720
Speaker 4: you'll hear him coming through the news. It's just like

1425
01:13:57,040 --> 01:14:00,479
Speaker 4: you'll hear that he's practicing, starting to play on the squad.

1426
01:14:00,479 --> 01:14:03,560
Speaker 4: He's off the practice practice injured list and he's practicing

1427
01:14:03,600 --> 01:14:07,200
Speaker 4: on the practice squad. Then you'll hear about him getting

1428
01:14:07,240 --> 01:14:09,240
Speaker 4: activated to the game day, and then you know, being

1429
01:14:09,320 --> 01:14:12,320
Speaker 4: active on the roster. You'll hear it coming down the pipe,

1430
01:14:12,720 --> 01:14:17,240
Speaker 4: but you're not gonna hear about it until one of

1431
01:14:17,240 --> 01:14:19,960
Speaker 4: these other guys ahead of him who are playing an

1432
01:14:20,000 --> 01:14:25,320
Speaker 4: active struggles and I don't you know, it's gonna have

1433
01:14:25,360 --> 01:14:30,280
Speaker 4: to be and it's and then the guys between Gabe

1434
01:14:30,320 --> 01:14:33,679
Speaker 4: and the guy like if Kean Coleman or Khali Shakir

1435
01:14:33,720 --> 01:14:36,680
Speaker 4: started to struggle. Gabe's got like nine guys to go

1436
01:14:36,760 --> 01:14:38,680
Speaker 4: through before he gets to the point where he's the

1437
01:14:38,720 --> 01:14:42,960
Speaker 4: next guy up. You've still got to go through Shavers

1438
01:14:43,560 --> 01:14:48,040
Speaker 4: and Samuel and more. You know, he got a long

1439
01:14:48,080 --> 01:14:50,600
Speaker 4: way to go before Gabe filters his way to the

1440
01:14:50,600 --> 01:14:53,160
Speaker 4: top of that group. That's just the way it is.

1441
01:14:55,000 --> 01:14:57,559
Speaker 3: Back to the phones and to Butcher on the east side.

1442
01:14:57,600 --> 01:15:00,840
Speaker 5: What's up, Butch, my brother's from another beautiful mother. I

1443
01:15:00,840 --> 01:15:02,880
Speaker 5: love you, guys, I love him as g I love

1444
01:15:03,000 --> 01:15:05,000
Speaker 5: w drafts all the fans to listen and watch this

1445
01:15:05,080 --> 01:15:07,280
Speaker 5: beautiful show. I love each and everyone of you. I'm

1446
01:15:07,280 --> 01:15:10,040
Speaker 5: gonna get right to it, gentlemen. It's two it's three things,

1447
01:15:10,040 --> 01:15:12,080
Speaker 5: the dudes, the dunts, and how we can win the

1448
01:15:12,200 --> 01:15:13,000
Speaker 5: dudes the dudes.

1449
01:15:13,080 --> 01:15:13,559
Speaker 3: Is this way.

1450
01:15:13,880 --> 01:15:15,560
Speaker 5: Joe Brady's gonna have to snap out of him. He

1451
01:15:15,640 --> 01:15:17,920
Speaker 5: get back to what he was doing earlier. Let let

1452
01:15:18,600 --> 01:15:20,640
Speaker 5: Cook be the bell. Kyle might you might have to

1453
01:15:20,640 --> 01:15:24,320
Speaker 5: touch twenty times, maybe nineteen times, keep it maybe first

1454
01:15:24,360 --> 01:15:26,599
Speaker 5: and second down, instead of taking him out of first

1455
01:15:26,640 --> 01:15:29,400
Speaker 5: down to get the rotation process of playing three running

1456
01:15:29,400 --> 01:15:32,320
Speaker 5: backs tonight, spread it out to get it up temple

1457
01:15:32,400 --> 01:15:35,160
Speaker 5: beat like Steve and you guys just finish speaking about

1458
01:15:35,160 --> 01:15:37,680
Speaker 5: our defenses not on point right now, so I'm not

1459
01:15:37,720 --> 01:15:39,519
Speaker 5: going to depend on that. I'm gonna depend on putting

1460
01:15:39,520 --> 01:15:41,760
Speaker 5: points on the board so eventually we could take them

1461
01:15:41,800 --> 01:15:43,559
Speaker 5: out of their second they got to play catch up

1462
01:15:43,800 --> 01:15:46,080
Speaker 5: and then we could try to try to dictate deepensly

1463
01:15:46,240 --> 01:15:48,600
Speaker 5: based off what we have to try to win the

1464
01:15:48,640 --> 01:15:51,720
Speaker 5: game based off what we have, because we because we're

1465
01:15:51,720 --> 01:15:54,040
Speaker 5: putting points on the board. We can't come out and

1466
01:15:54,200 --> 01:15:57,040
Speaker 5: just be a three tighten three tight end, punch punch,

1467
01:15:57,080 --> 01:15:59,679
Speaker 5: punch one, two, three and out and try to beat

1468
01:15:59,680 --> 01:16:01,519
Speaker 5: this team him in their home field when they got

1469
01:16:01,520 --> 01:16:03,360
Speaker 5: to momental, they don't have nothing to lose. They are

1470
01:16:03,360 --> 01:16:06,439
Speaker 5: playing with house money tonight in their own place. We

1471
01:16:06,520 --> 01:16:08,200
Speaker 5: have something to lose because he just took an l

1472
01:16:08,360 --> 01:16:11,240
Speaker 5: last week against New England. Now to win the game

1473
01:16:11,880 --> 01:16:15,160
Speaker 5: with the combination of all that, I just want Sean

1474
01:16:15,240 --> 01:16:23,000
Speaker 5: McDermott to allow Dorian Williams, loud ed Oliver and the

1475
01:16:23,040 --> 01:16:26,960
Speaker 5: defense to attack. Got to watch those edges. Joey can't

1476
01:16:27,000 --> 01:16:30,240
Speaker 5: pinch because it run. This quarterback is a running quarterback

1477
01:16:30,280 --> 01:16:32,320
Speaker 5: as well, and so you already know you're gonna have

1478
01:16:32,320 --> 01:16:35,240
Speaker 5: a Bill kwar and Vijon. You got to watch him.

1479
01:16:35,240 --> 01:16:37,880
Speaker 5: But at the same time, my thing, I can't depend

1480
01:16:37,920 --> 01:16:39,960
Speaker 5: on the defense. I have to depend on offense. And

1481
01:16:40,000 --> 01:16:42,519
Speaker 5: I'm gotta put Joe Briddy. He's already an investigation, but

1482
01:16:42,520 --> 01:16:44,599
Speaker 5: I got to put him on the spotlight. You have

1483
01:16:44,720 --> 01:16:47,880
Speaker 5: to open up and let your quarterback put points on

1484
01:16:47,920 --> 01:16:50,920
Speaker 5: the board to help your defense within this game. I

1485
01:16:50,960 --> 01:16:53,040
Speaker 5: love you guys so much. Thanks for taking my call.

1486
01:16:53,160 --> 01:16:56,439
Speaker 4: Enjoy the game, guys, Yeah, thanks, thanks. But they took

1487
01:16:56,479 --> 01:16:58,920
Speaker 4: a week off, no question, But it wasn't because of

1488
01:16:59,000 --> 01:17:01,479
Speaker 4: Joe Brady or Sean mcdermotry that it was because they

1489
01:17:01,560 --> 01:17:03,759
Speaker 4: fumbled the ball or turned the ball over three times.

1490
01:17:03,760 --> 01:17:06,519
Speaker 4: That's why they didn't score thirty points last week. You

1491
01:17:06,640 --> 01:17:11,720
Speaker 4: might have scored more so they can score. I get it,

1492
01:17:11,760 --> 01:17:15,880
Speaker 4: and you're right. I think that's brand. And I talked

1493
01:17:15,880 --> 01:17:18,200
Speaker 4: about this on Bills by the Numbers last week about

1494
01:17:18,240 --> 01:17:20,320
Speaker 4: you know, do you run, do you pass? Do you

1495
01:17:20,400 --> 01:17:23,200
Speaker 4: shorten the game? Do you you do? None of that

1496
01:17:24,040 --> 01:17:26,799
Speaker 4: comes into it in the first half of these ball games.

1497
01:17:27,520 --> 01:17:29,559
Speaker 4: You come out and you got your foot on the gas,

1498
01:17:29,920 --> 01:17:32,040
Speaker 4: you throw it, you run, whatever it takes. If it's

1499
01:17:32,080 --> 01:17:34,040
Speaker 4: three times, I don't know. Mind you said you don't

1500
01:17:34,040 --> 01:17:36,040
Speaker 4: want three tight ends grinding. I don't mind if it's

1501
01:17:36,080 --> 01:17:38,800
Speaker 4: three tight ends. If they're moving the ball, scoring touchdowns,

1502
01:17:39,240 --> 01:17:40,960
Speaker 4: any of that stuff's fine. If they think if the

1503
01:17:41,000 --> 01:17:43,360
Speaker 4: film study says that's what you should do. Do it.

1504
01:17:43,400 --> 01:17:45,280
Speaker 4: If that's where they hurt, If that's where you can

1505
01:17:45,360 --> 01:17:48,919
Speaker 4: hurt them, hurt them. But yeah, first half of these games.

1506
01:17:50,080 --> 01:17:53,040
Speaker 4: Only if you can get control, you come out and score, score, score,

1507
01:17:53,360 --> 01:17:58,320
Speaker 4: that's it. Don't don't worry about run past balance, don't

1508
01:17:58,320 --> 01:18:00,720
Speaker 4: worry about shortening the game, don't worry about any of that.

1509
01:18:00,800 --> 01:18:03,040
Speaker 4: Don't turn it over, move the ball and get in

1510
01:18:03,040 --> 01:18:05,840
Speaker 4: the end zone. You've scored one thousand miles per or

1511
01:18:05,880 --> 01:18:08,080
Speaker 4: if you can't, you score sixty points on the first half.

1512
01:18:08,120 --> 01:18:11,040
Speaker 4: If you can't, then you think about game management. In

1513
01:18:11,080 --> 01:18:13,800
Speaker 4: the second half, you think about shortening the game then.

1514
01:18:14,680 --> 01:18:18,559
Speaker 4: But I'm with you. The offense's job as these games

1515
01:18:18,600 --> 01:18:21,840
Speaker 4: begin is to score points as fast as you can.

1516
01:18:23,200 --> 01:18:27,519
Speaker 4: Don't look back, don't pass, go, don't collect two hundred bucks.

1517
01:18:28,040 --> 01:18:32,840
Speaker 4: You score. That's what you do. And yeah, and I'm

1518
01:18:32,920 --> 01:18:36,160
Speaker 4: always your defense is always better when it's attacking, so

1519
01:18:36,200 --> 01:18:40,200
Speaker 4: you're right there too. Butchie, yeah, I like it better

1520
01:18:40,240 --> 01:18:42,120
Speaker 4: when the defense comes that you makes you deal with

1521
01:18:42,160 --> 01:18:45,880
Speaker 4: them rather than sits back, sees what you're gonna do,

1522
01:18:46,200 --> 01:18:50,160
Speaker 4: and reacts to it. So yeah, I'm I'm looking for

1523
01:18:50,200 --> 01:18:52,519
Speaker 4: a little bit of a bounce back kind of game

1524
01:18:52,640 --> 01:18:56,879
Speaker 4: from the players tonight, and the coaches would will probably

1525
01:18:57,080 --> 01:18:59,559
Speaker 4: compliment that with their play calls and their defensive goals.

1526
01:18:59,640 --> 01:19:03,840
Speaker 4: So yeah, I'm I hear you, Butcher, and I'm I'm

1527
01:19:03,920 --> 01:19:04,880
Speaker 4: kind of on board with you.

1528
01:19:06,720 --> 01:19:08,160
Speaker 3: And look, I know that the Bills.

1529
01:19:08,479 --> 01:19:12,080
Speaker 2: I mean that the Falcons played Baker Mayfield in Week

1530
01:19:12,160 --> 01:19:15,600
Speaker 2: one and they see him twice a year. In the

1531
01:19:15,680 --> 01:19:19,840
Speaker 2: last three games, they faced Bryce Young, JJ McCarthy, and

1532
01:19:19,920 --> 01:19:23,679
Speaker 2: Marcus Mariota. This is a step up in weight class

1533
01:19:23,680 --> 01:19:27,120
Speaker 2: for those guys too, I mean facing Josh Allen. So

1534
01:19:27,960 --> 01:19:30,120
Speaker 2: that's something that I don't think can be dismissed out

1535
01:19:30,120 --> 01:19:33,200
Speaker 2: of hand. Either you're playing one of the best of

1536
01:19:33,240 --> 01:19:36,639
Speaker 2: the best, and they're a middle of the road run defense.

1537
01:19:37,320 --> 01:19:39,640
Speaker 2: I know they're a number one total defense, but I

1538
01:19:39,640 --> 01:19:42,280
Speaker 2: think that's part of the reason why they've played Bryce Young,

1539
01:19:42,400 --> 01:19:46,360
Speaker 2: JJ McCarthy, and Marcus Mariota in three of their four games.

1540
01:19:46,520 --> 01:19:49,479
Speaker 2: The numbers are going to look good. No offense to

1541
01:19:49,479 --> 01:19:52,840
Speaker 2: those guys, but they're not Josh. So I think the

1542
01:19:52,840 --> 01:19:54,400
Speaker 2: Bills are going to be able to move the ball.

1543
01:19:54,520 --> 01:19:58,439
Speaker 2: I expect them to target Mike Hughes the corner opposite

1544
01:19:58,479 --> 01:20:02,719
Speaker 2: aj Terrell because he's been victimized for touchdowns a few

1545
01:20:02,760 --> 01:20:06,840
Speaker 2: times this season already. You know, veteran in the league,

1546
01:20:07,200 --> 01:20:10,559
Speaker 2: but he's been around and I think he can be

1547
01:20:10,640 --> 01:20:13,640
Speaker 2: had on the outside. So I'm curious to see if

1548
01:20:13,680 --> 01:20:17,240
Speaker 2: the Bills maybe have some plays dialed up to test

1549
01:20:17,320 --> 01:20:19,960
Speaker 2: him outside. Knowing that a lot of the time they

1550
01:20:20,000 --> 01:20:22,400
Speaker 2: work the middle of the field, you know, with kN Kid,

1551
01:20:22,439 --> 01:20:25,880
Speaker 2: even with Palmer on deep crossers. So I'm curious to

1552
01:20:25,880 --> 01:20:28,360
Speaker 2: see what the passing game looks like in terms of

1553
01:20:28,400 --> 01:20:31,439
Speaker 2: where they feel they can exploit this Atlanta defense.

1554
01:20:31,520 --> 01:20:33,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, what do you think? Yeah? What do you think

1555
01:20:34,160 --> 01:20:37,240
Speaker 4: the Falcons are going to do with their defense?

1556
01:20:37,439 --> 01:20:37,599
Speaker 3: Right?

1557
01:20:37,640 --> 01:20:39,120
Speaker 4: You think they're going to drop back in zone? You

1558
01:20:39,160 --> 01:20:41,680
Speaker 4: think they're gonna trust their their You know, they got

1559
01:20:41,720 --> 01:20:44,320
Speaker 4: some talents and guys up front on their defense.

1560
01:20:44,439 --> 01:20:45,599
Speaker 3: They do, they do.

1561
01:20:45,640 --> 01:20:48,519
Speaker 2: But Josh has a great passer rating against the Blitz,

1562
01:20:48,800 --> 01:20:51,519
Speaker 2: So I think they'll try it and if it has

1563
01:20:51,560 --> 01:20:56,120
Speaker 2: some success, fine, But if Josh again demonstrates it proclivity

1564
01:20:56,120 --> 01:20:59,200
Speaker 2: to defeat it, best of luck, you may be better

1565
01:20:59,240 --> 01:20:59,960
Speaker 2: off sitting back.

1566
01:21:00,080 --> 01:21:02,880
Speaker 4: Well. They they got to switch it up. They got

1567
01:21:02,880 --> 01:21:04,960
Speaker 4: to switch it up because Josh is so good pre

1568
01:21:05,080 --> 01:21:07,920
Speaker 4: snap Will, But I don't know.

1569
01:21:09,160 --> 01:21:12,040
Speaker 2: I'm so curious about those linebackers at the second level because,

1570
01:21:12,040 --> 01:21:15,320
Speaker 2: I mean, Divine Diablo is a huge man. He's he's

1571
01:21:15,360 --> 01:21:17,200
Speaker 2: a lot like Tremaine Edmonds. I mean, both of those

1572
01:21:17,200 --> 01:21:20,200
Speaker 2: guys are Virginia Tech guys, and so he's like a

1573
01:21:20,200 --> 01:21:22,960
Speaker 2: condor out there. So getting it over the second level

1574
01:21:23,000 --> 01:21:26,320
Speaker 2: on deep crossers is easier said than done against that

1575
01:21:26,479 --> 01:21:28,639
Speaker 2: linebacking crew when he's dropping in coverage.

1576
01:21:28,680 --> 01:21:31,120
Speaker 3: So he's he's a rangy player.

1577
01:21:31,200 --> 01:21:34,679
Speaker 2: I mean, we remember him with the Raiders even he's

1578
01:21:34,880 --> 01:21:37,160
Speaker 2: he's a good linebacker at the second level, can do

1579
01:21:37,240 --> 01:21:40,519
Speaker 2: just about everything, and the Bills don't typically see those

1580
01:21:40,560 --> 01:21:44,679
Speaker 2: guys all that often, particularly in their own division.

1581
01:21:44,960 --> 01:21:46,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it's going to be interesting to see

1582
01:21:46,960 --> 01:21:52,080
Speaker 4: what Atlanta defense, how Atlanta the Atlanta defense attacks. You know,

1583
01:21:52,120 --> 01:21:53,879
Speaker 4: the Bill's running game is going to be a factor,

1584
01:21:55,200 --> 01:21:57,720
Speaker 4: and how they you know, transition between the two where

1585
01:21:57,720 --> 01:22:01,760
Speaker 4: they go zone or man. You know, Josh is really

1586
01:22:01,800 --> 01:22:06,080
Speaker 4: good pre snap, so it's hard to fool him. It'll

1587
01:22:06,120 --> 01:22:07,599
Speaker 4: be interesting, that's gonna be. It's gonna be a fun.

1588
01:22:07,720 --> 01:22:08,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, I meant, you.

1589
01:22:08,840 --> 01:22:12,000
Speaker 2: Know, you know, Jeff Olbrick knows Josh Allen having faced

1590
01:22:12,080 --> 01:22:15,320
Speaker 2: him in the division. But this is a this is

1591
01:22:15,360 --> 01:22:19,439
Speaker 2: a defensive unit in their first year under Ulbrich's system.

1592
01:22:20,560 --> 01:22:22,920
Speaker 2: And you can watch as much tape as you want

1593
01:22:22,960 --> 01:22:26,879
Speaker 2: of Josh Allen until you've seen him up close and personal,

1594
01:22:26,920 --> 01:22:30,080
Speaker 2: you don't know what you're in for. And you know,

1595
01:22:30,120 --> 01:22:32,000
Speaker 2: I know Bijon gets all the pub and he should.

1596
01:22:32,040 --> 01:22:33,680
Speaker 2: I mean, he's one of the most gifted athletes in

1597
01:22:33,720 --> 01:22:36,640
Speaker 2: the entire league. But the Bill's got prett damn good

1598
01:22:36,720 --> 01:22:40,479
Speaker 2: back too in James Cook, and I want to quickly

1599
01:22:40,520 --> 01:22:43,160
Speaker 2: have this conversation with you because we noticed this on

1600
01:22:43,240 --> 01:22:45,200
Speaker 2: film and we talked about it briefly off air.

1601
01:22:46,400 --> 01:22:50,120
Speaker 3: But Bijon and James do not.

1602
01:22:51,040 --> 01:22:54,960
Speaker 2: Jump cut to elude defenders like some other backs in

1603
01:22:55,000 --> 01:22:58,559
Speaker 2: the league do. They just cut like while they're up

1604
01:22:58,600 --> 01:23:01,240
Speaker 2: on their toes. They don't play and jump cut, if

1605
01:23:01,240 --> 01:23:03,920
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying. They stay on their toes

1606
01:23:03,960 --> 01:23:09,639
Speaker 2: and just shift. It seems like a unique running style.

1607
01:23:09,920 --> 01:23:13,800
Speaker 2: Both of them do it, and they're extraordinarily effective at

1608
01:23:13,800 --> 01:23:17,920
Speaker 2: doing it. I don't know, maybe I'm just over analyzing,

1609
01:23:18,320 --> 01:23:21,080
Speaker 2: but they don't jump cut, they just sidestep.

1610
01:23:21,200 --> 01:23:22,840
Speaker 4: I'll say this, you know what I talked to. We

1611
01:23:22,880 --> 01:23:24,639
Speaker 4: talked about this earlier in the show where I said

1612
01:23:25,560 --> 01:23:28,320
Speaker 4: I liked in some of the games we saw this week,

1613
01:23:28,400 --> 01:23:30,720
Speaker 4: like the Rico Daddle game where he went back to

1614
01:23:30,800 --> 01:23:33,120
Speaker 4: Dallas after Dallas let him walk in free agency and

1615
01:23:33,120 --> 01:23:35,760
Speaker 4: paid everybody else except him, and he had a chip

1616
01:23:35,800 --> 01:23:38,080
Speaker 4: on his shoulder. We saw it when the Bills went

1617
01:23:38,080 --> 01:23:41,840
Speaker 4: into Kansas City last year and Andy Reid the first

1618
01:23:42,160 --> 01:23:44,439
Speaker 4: drive of the game. It was exager worthy show, you know,

1619
01:23:44,479 --> 01:23:46,280
Speaker 4: because the Bills had traded the pick and they picked

1620
01:23:46,360 --> 01:23:48,519
Speaker 4: him up. And you see that around the league where

1621
01:23:48,520 --> 01:23:51,000
Speaker 4: teams will you know, they send guys out as the

1622
01:23:51,040 --> 01:23:54,360
Speaker 4: team captain coming back like you know, and Steph Diggs

1623
01:23:54,400 --> 01:23:57,040
Speaker 4: coming into Buffalo last week and hanging a number on

1624
01:23:57,120 --> 01:24:01,639
Speaker 4: the Bills, you know, his former team. So the Bills

1625
01:24:01,680 --> 01:24:04,160
Speaker 4: come into Atlanta and all anybody's talking about for the

1626
01:24:04,160 --> 01:24:07,680
Speaker 4: Atlanta Falcons is b Jon Robinson. B Jhon Robinson, b

1627
01:24:07,760 --> 01:24:10,160
Speaker 4: Jeon Robinson, be what we think James Cook's gonna do.

1628
01:24:12,080 --> 01:24:15,479
Speaker 4: If I'm Joe Brady, I am, I am under that guy.

1629
01:24:15,560 --> 01:24:17,120
Speaker 4: I'm in that guy's ear all week.

1630
01:24:17,200 --> 01:24:17,360
Speaker 8: Man.

1631
01:24:17,400 --> 01:24:18,320
Speaker 3: You b Jon.

1632
01:24:18,280 --> 01:24:24,639
Speaker 4: Robinson is probably a way better back than you Nobody

1633
01:24:24,720 --> 01:24:27,719
Speaker 4: talks about James Cook. It's all Bjon Robinson. There's a

1634
01:24:27,800 --> 01:24:29,639
Speaker 4: they had a really good running back in this game.

1635
01:24:29,680 --> 01:24:32,080
Speaker 4: Who's who play? He plays for the Falcons. I guess right.

1636
01:24:32,560 --> 01:24:35,320
Speaker 4: I mean I would be all over that and then

1637
01:24:35,360 --> 01:24:35,880
Speaker 4: feed him.

1638
01:24:35,800 --> 01:24:39,000
Speaker 3: The ball, just tap into James competitive names.

1639
01:24:39,080 --> 01:24:41,120
Speaker 4: Just you know what, Let's just go show him. That's

1640
01:24:41,120 --> 01:24:43,599
Speaker 4: what I would do. I and I am all about that.

1641
01:24:43,600 --> 01:24:48,760
Speaker 4: That's just let's go, you know, and same thing and

1642
01:24:48,840 --> 01:24:50,840
Speaker 4: same thing. I'd sit in the offensive line meeting do

1643
01:24:50,880 --> 01:24:53,120
Speaker 4: the same thing. Their running backs really good, their offensive

1644
01:24:53,120 --> 01:24:55,240
Speaker 4: line really blocks for That's all anybody's talking about is

1645
01:24:55,240 --> 01:24:58,320
Speaker 4: how good b Jon Robinson. And he's an MVP candidate.

1646
01:24:58,360 --> 01:25:00,880
Speaker 4: He's an offensive player that you're candidate. He's like this

1647
01:25:01,000 --> 01:25:04,080
Speaker 4: year Saquon Barkley. Why can't we have a Why can't

1648
01:25:04,640 --> 01:25:06,840
Speaker 4: why can't Buffalo have players like that? Why can't they

1649
01:25:06,840 --> 01:25:13,360
Speaker 4: block for their guy like that? Let's go That's what

1650
01:25:13,400 --> 01:25:16,200
Speaker 4: I do, man, Let's go.

1651
01:25:16,400 --> 01:25:20,280
Speaker 3: The stir the pot. Steve's a potst uh.

1652
01:25:20,320 --> 01:25:22,400

Speaker 2: day edition of One Bills Live. As we are your

1661
01:25:58,960 --> 01:26:04,000
Speaker 2: extended pre game show here this afternoon in advance of

1662
01:26:04,600 --> 01:26:07,920
Speaker 2: the Bill's radio network coverage which picks up later on

1663
01:26:08,439 --> 01:26:13,439
Speaker 2: this afternoon. Choping the Bulldog will take you right up

1664
01:26:13,479 --> 01:26:17,639
Speaker 2: to the roundtable when myself and Eric Wood will join

1665
01:26:17,720 --> 01:26:21,920
Speaker 2: them from five to six pm. What we're asking you today,

1666
01:26:22,000 --> 01:26:24,080
Speaker 2: what do you need to see tonight for a Bill's

1667
01:26:24,120 --> 01:26:26,920
Speaker 2: victory over the Atlanta Falcons eight three zero five fifty

1668
01:26:27,040 --> 01:26:30,200
Speaker 2: one eight eight five fifty two five fifty some other

1669
01:26:30,320 --> 01:26:34,040
Speaker 2: answers on the tweetsheet. Bruce says, the d line needs

1670
01:26:34,120 --> 01:26:39,360
Speaker 2: to stop Robinson and apply some consistent pressure on the quarterback.

1671
01:26:40,000 --> 01:26:41,040
Speaker 3: And I've tried.

1672
01:26:40,840 --> 01:26:45,400
Speaker 2: To keep an eye on how other opponent, other opposing

1673
01:26:45,439 --> 01:26:49,719
Speaker 2: defenses have done this, Steve, and it seems as though

1674
01:26:49,960 --> 01:26:52,479
Speaker 2: they don't want to let Penix obviously roll out to

1675
01:26:52,560 --> 01:26:55,680
Speaker 2: his left because he can make plays when he does that,

1676
01:26:55,800 --> 01:26:57,639
Speaker 2: similar to the way Josh does when he rolls out

1677
01:26:57,640 --> 01:26:59,320
Speaker 2: to the right, being a right handed quarterback.

1678
01:27:01,280 --> 01:27:02,680
Speaker 3: I'm wondering.

1679
01:27:04,400 --> 01:27:08,040
Speaker 2: How the Bills approach this because I did see some

1680
01:27:08,160 --> 01:27:10,320
Speaker 2: teams leave the middle of the field, you know, the

1681
01:27:10,360 --> 01:27:12,679
Speaker 2: middle of the pocket open, and he would just step

1682
01:27:12,760 --> 01:27:17,160
Speaker 2: up and run through it. And he's comfortable scrambling straight ahead.

1683
01:27:17,720 --> 01:27:20,240
Speaker 2: I think it's when he has to double back roll around,

1684
01:27:20,360 --> 01:27:22,200
Speaker 2: that's when he'd rather just chuck it and get rid

1685
01:27:22,200 --> 01:27:24,720
Speaker 2: of it and live for another down. When you know

1686
01:27:24,800 --> 01:27:26,559
Speaker 2: that some of what you were talking about him being

1687
01:27:26,600 --> 01:27:30,160
Speaker 2: reluctant to take off and run, he'd rather just throw

1688
01:27:30,200 --> 01:27:30,960
Speaker 2: it and make a play.

1689
01:27:31,880 --> 01:27:36,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, I've noticed he You don't see him tucking the

1690
01:27:36,760 --> 01:27:41,840
Speaker 4: ball under his arm and taking off, And I agree

1691
01:27:41,880 --> 01:27:47,120
Speaker 4: with you. There's got to be a tactic that the

1692
01:27:47,160 --> 01:27:50,479
Speaker 4: coaching staff will tell their defensive line. You know, when

1693
01:27:50,520 --> 01:27:53,040
Speaker 4: you're playing Lamar and some of these other Mahomes and

1694
01:27:53,040 --> 01:27:54,680
Speaker 4: those guys, you kind of stay in your lanes. You

1695
01:27:54,720 --> 01:27:57,000
Speaker 4: rush four guys go straight ahead and try and close

1696
01:27:57,040 --> 01:27:59,600
Speaker 4: the pocket and press it in around him. Some of

1697
01:27:59,640 --> 01:28:03,080
Speaker 4: these other guys, you know, like Joe Flacco and those

1698
01:28:03,240 --> 01:28:06,439
Speaker 4: that kind of guy. You've got these guys looping around

1699
01:28:06,479 --> 01:28:09,439
Speaker 4: and swinging around, you know, crossing over and like I'll trade,

1700
01:28:09,479 --> 01:28:11,160
Speaker 4: you know, after the ball, snap will take off the

1701
01:28:11,160 --> 01:28:13,200
Speaker 4: field and I'll switch places with you and get the

1702
01:28:13,200 --> 01:28:16,519
Speaker 4: offensive lineman to cross over because you're not afraid of

1703
01:28:16,560 --> 01:28:20,160
Speaker 4: him tucking the ball up and taking off, running by

1704
01:28:20,280 --> 01:28:26,479
Speaker 4: gaps that you leave in your pocket. So yeah, there's

1705
01:28:26,560 --> 01:28:33,680
Speaker 4: no question that they will have a plan for Penix

1706
01:28:34,400 --> 01:28:37,080
Speaker 4: and something they prefer him to do. Now, you can't

1707
01:28:37,160 --> 01:28:40,559
Speaker 4: you know, you know what I mean, you can't dictate.

1708
01:28:40,640 --> 01:28:42,880
Speaker 4: You can dictate, but you've got to sell out to dictate.

1709
01:28:42,920 --> 01:28:45,240
Speaker 4: If you want him to flush, flush him right, you've

1710
01:28:45,240 --> 01:28:48,559
Speaker 4: got to rush him from the left right. So they'll

1711
01:28:48,600 --> 01:28:51,080
Speaker 4: have some a plan like that. But they will say, listen,

1712
01:28:51,080 --> 01:28:55,840
Speaker 4: we would rather have him move to his right rather

1713
01:28:55,920 --> 01:28:58,519
Speaker 4: than his left because he's a lefty or vice versa.

1714
01:28:59,120 --> 01:29:02,240
Speaker 4: We don't want him like teams are telling us, you know,

1715
01:29:02,320 --> 01:29:05,400
Speaker 4: teams say it about Josh Allen. Don't let the dude

1716
01:29:05,439 --> 01:29:07,840
Speaker 4: run to the right sideline. Don't let him run to

1717
01:29:07,880 --> 01:29:10,720
Speaker 4: his right, or we're dead. They'll have a plan for

1718
01:29:10,760 --> 01:29:12,800
Speaker 4: that for Pennix. What that is that you and I

1719
01:29:12,800 --> 01:29:16,200
Speaker 4: don't know because we haven't seen Penix enough. He doesn't

1720
01:29:16,240 --> 01:29:19,639
Speaker 4: He's not a threat to snap off a nineteen yard

1721
01:29:19,720 --> 01:29:24,960
Speaker 4: run like Josh is. This Josh is a dynamic step

1722
01:29:25,040 --> 01:29:27,599
Speaker 4: up from other quarterbacks they've faced even this year. Now

1723
01:29:27,600 --> 01:29:29,800
Speaker 4: they had they had Baker an opening weekend, but you

1724
01:29:29,840 --> 01:29:38,120
Speaker 4: know we didn't know. Yeah, I'm this Penix is a

1725
01:29:38,160 --> 01:29:40,920
Speaker 4: good quarterback with a live arm. He's not as accurate

1726
01:29:40,960 --> 01:29:46,040
Speaker 4: and doesn't complete as many balls as you think he should. Yeah,

1727
01:29:46,080 --> 01:29:50,519
Speaker 4: which is why Beijeon is the guy. So I think

1728
01:29:50,600 --> 01:29:52,000
Speaker 4: when they when you get him in if you can

1729
01:29:52,000 --> 01:29:54,400
Speaker 4: get him into an obvious passing situations where you're ahead

1730
01:29:54,400 --> 01:29:57,439
Speaker 4: of the game already anyway, right, So we'll see if

1731
01:29:57,439 --> 01:29:59,840
Speaker 4: they can do that with Robinson in the backfield. But

1732
01:30:01,080 --> 01:30:02,519
Speaker 4: I think you're going to be in kind of those

1733
01:30:02,560 --> 01:30:04,559
Speaker 4: no man lands with a you know, the second and

1734
01:30:04,680 --> 01:30:08,320
Speaker 4: six or second and four and third and ones if

1735
01:30:08,360 --> 01:30:11,400
Speaker 4: that's the case. And if that's then you know you're

1736
01:30:11,439 --> 01:30:13,960
Speaker 4: you're in trouble because they're you may allow them to

1737
01:30:14,000 --> 01:30:16,800
Speaker 4: stay on the field offensively because Panis will run on

1738
01:30:16,880 --> 01:30:22,599
Speaker 4: a third and one. I don't know, Brownie, I think

1739
01:30:22,600 --> 01:30:24,400
Speaker 4: this is a really intriguing game because we don't know

1740
01:30:24,560 --> 01:30:27,880
Speaker 4: enough about Atlanta and we've seen such a wide You

1741
01:30:27,920 --> 01:30:30,320
Speaker 4: and I both have met common that we've seen the

1742
01:30:30,439 --> 01:30:36,519
Speaker 4: entire spectrum from Atlanta. Great defense, horrible defense, really good offense,

1743
01:30:37,040 --> 01:30:39,240
Speaker 4: and they can't get out of their own way offense.

1744
01:30:40,000 --> 01:30:42,000
Speaker 4: I don't know who where you're gonna get.

1745
01:30:44,479 --> 01:30:46,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I think makes this game so intriguing

1746
01:30:47,000 --> 01:30:50,160
Speaker 2: because of the potential of Atlanta and whether Buffalo can

1747
01:30:50,200 --> 01:30:52,880
Speaker 2: bounce back from a down performance last week.

1748
01:30:52,920 --> 01:30:55,599
Speaker 4: I think Buffalo, you know, I think Buffalo will bounced back, right,

1749
01:30:55,680 --> 01:30:58,360
Speaker 4: But yeah, and what that looks like I believe.

1750
01:30:58,400 --> 01:31:03,479
Speaker 2: So, Yeah, we have our first head coach firing in

1751
01:31:03,520 --> 01:31:10,960
Speaker 2: the league. Brian Callahan coaches just twenty three games as

1752
01:31:11,040 --> 01:31:13,240
Speaker 2: head coach of the Titans and he has been given

1753
01:31:13,800 --> 01:31:17,679
Speaker 2: his walking papers. Went four and nineteen over that span

1754
01:31:18,640 --> 01:31:22,320
Speaker 2: and had another disappointing loss this past week, so he

1755
01:31:22,479 --> 01:31:28,320
Speaker 2: is out in week six. Robert Salad got bounced in

1756
01:31:28,360 --> 01:31:30,479
Speaker 2: Week five last year, but he had been there for

1757
01:31:30,520 --> 01:31:33,840
Speaker 2: three years. This guy is only twenty three games in

1758
01:31:33,920 --> 01:31:37,200
Speaker 2: as head coach and he is out. A lot of

1759
01:31:37,240 --> 01:31:41,920
Speaker 2: turmoil in Tennessee the last four or five years.

1760
01:31:42,800 --> 01:31:44,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know what. I don't know what to

1761
01:31:44,520 --> 01:31:44,920
Speaker 3: make of it.

1762
01:31:45,120 --> 01:31:48,720
Speaker 4: They Yeah, they fired Mike Vrabel. They don't know what

1763
01:31:48,720 --> 01:31:52,120
Speaker 4: they're doing, right, they know what they do, not know

1764
01:31:52,160 --> 01:31:52,719
Speaker 4: what they're doing.

1765
01:31:53,560 --> 01:31:56,240
Speaker 2: That's kind of where I sit. They fired, they fired,

1766
01:31:56,520 --> 01:31:57,760
Speaker 2: and they fired the GM too.

1767
01:31:58,040 --> 01:32:01,040
Speaker 4: Well, I don't know about the GM. I can't you know,

1768
01:32:01,320 --> 01:32:05,040
Speaker 4: you can't. You can't look in what Mike Vrabel does

1769
01:32:05,040 --> 01:32:06,840
Speaker 4: on a week to week basis as a head coach

1770
01:32:06,960 --> 01:32:10,639
Speaker 4: and think Brian Callahan's going to do a better job.

1771
01:32:11,840 --> 01:32:13,360
Speaker 4: You just you just don't know what you're doing.

1772
01:32:14,760 --> 01:32:18,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, especially as a first time head coach. But that's

1773
01:32:18,760 --> 01:32:21,240
Speaker 3: the way they went and that's what happened. We have

1774
01:32:21,280 --> 01:32:22,200
Speaker 3: to take a break here.

1775
01:32:22,760 --> 01:32:25,080
Speaker 2: I have to get to the stadium, So Maddie Clab

Speaker 10: The Ringer NFL Show. Steven, thanks for being on with us.

1795
01:34:06,160 --> 01:34:10,720
Speaker 10: A lot to talk about with Week six games yesterday,

1796
01:34:10,880 --> 01:34:13,920
Speaker 10: and first I want to start with the latest news,

1797
01:34:13,960 --> 01:34:17,080
Speaker 10: the fact that the Titans have fired their head coach,

1798
01:34:17,320 --> 01:34:20,840
Speaker 10: Brian Callahan. Now, the Titans just released a statement saying

1799
01:34:20,880 --> 01:34:24,120
Speaker 10: after extending conversations with our owner and general manager, we

1800
01:34:24,200 --> 01:34:26,240
Speaker 10: met with Brian Callahan this morning to tell him we

1801
01:34:26,280 --> 01:34:29,040
Speaker 10: are making a change at head coach. While we are

1802
01:34:29,040 --> 01:34:32,200
Speaker 10: committed to a patient and strategic plan to build a sustainable,

1803
01:34:32,240 --> 01:34:37,000
Speaker 10: winning football program, we have not demonstrated sufficient growth Are

1804
01:34:37,040 --> 01:34:39,719
Speaker 10: you shocked by the fact that they're deciding to part

1805
01:34:39,760 --> 01:34:43,240
Speaker 10: ways with Callahan in week six of the NFL season.

1806
01:34:45,240 --> 01:34:47,960
Speaker 11: I mean, yeah, when you're preaching patients, I don't think

1807
01:34:48,000 --> 01:34:50,840
Speaker 11: firing your head coach in week six is an.

1808
01:34:50,680 --> 01:34:51,439
Speaker 12: Example of that.

1809
01:34:51,800 --> 01:34:53,519
Speaker 11: But I'm not surprised based on what we've seen out

1810
01:34:53,520 --> 01:34:55,960
Speaker 11: of Callahan going back to last year and how he

1811
01:34:56,040 --> 01:34:58,080
Speaker 11: kind of interacted with will Levis, who was his first

1812
01:34:58,080 --> 01:35:00,760
Speaker 11: shot at developing a quarterback. We saw out burst on

1813
01:35:00,800 --> 01:35:02,920
Speaker 11: the sideline whenever you made a mistake, and I don't

1814
01:35:02,920 --> 01:35:04,280
Speaker 11: think you want that around cam Ward.

1815
01:35:04,320 --> 01:35:05,680
Speaker 12: So I don't know.

1816
01:35:05,600 --> 01:35:08,280
Speaker 11: If it's a move that suggests that they're confident, but

1817
01:35:08,320 --> 01:35:09,920
Speaker 11: I do think it's a move that will help them

1818
01:35:09,960 --> 01:35:11,400
Speaker 11: if they get a better coach going forward.

1819
01:35:11,640 --> 01:35:15,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, and it's interesting too, because we see players grow.

1820
01:35:15,240 --> 01:35:17,679
Speaker 4: We see him like throw the ball like a quarterback.

1821
01:35:17,720 --> 01:35:20,080
Speaker 4: You see him throw the ball away when the pocket collapses.

1822
01:35:20,120 --> 01:35:22,720
Speaker 4: You see him run and slide is to take on

1823
01:35:22,760 --> 01:35:26,440
Speaker 4: the linebacker. You see players do that. We seen Callahan

1824
01:35:26,880 --> 01:35:30,800
Speaker 4: blow a stack and then not learn from it and

1825
01:35:30,840 --> 01:35:35,280
Speaker 4: blow a stack again. Growth is one thing, but you

1826
01:35:35,320 --> 01:35:37,240
Speaker 4: kind of expect your head coach to get better too,

1827
01:35:37,280 --> 01:35:39,680
Speaker 4: and he didn't really show that he.

1828
01:35:39,840 --> 01:35:42,919
Speaker 12: Was, especially in that area with the quarterback.

1829
01:35:43,000 --> 01:35:45,559
Speaker 11: Especially when you're an offensive minded coach, you need to

1830
01:35:45,600 --> 01:35:47,880
Speaker 11: be patient with your quarterback, and he hasn't shown that

1831
01:35:47,920 --> 01:35:50,559
Speaker 11: at all, and the offense hasn't gotten any better, especially

1832
01:35:50,600 --> 01:35:52,680
Speaker 11: in the run game. You look back at Cincinnati when

1833
01:35:52,680 --> 01:35:54,120
Speaker 11: he's there, the same problems there.

1834
01:35:54,280 --> 01:35:56,160
Speaker 12: It was all Joe Burrow. You don't want to put

1835
01:35:56,200 --> 01:35:57,360
Speaker 12: everything on your QB.

1836
01:35:58,800 --> 01:36:02,200
Speaker 10: Now recapping some of these Week six games, who's the

1837
01:36:02,200 --> 01:36:04,439
Speaker 10: biggest winner in your mind from Week six?

1838
01:36:06,479 --> 01:36:08,479
Speaker 12: I'd go with the Chiefs. The offense looks back.

1839
01:36:08,560 --> 01:36:11,680
Speaker 11: I think the deep passing game isn't there yet, but

1840
01:36:12,040 --> 01:36:14,280
Speaker 11: everything else, the run game, that should set up for

1841
01:36:14,280 --> 01:36:18,360
Speaker 11: a depassing game eventually. I just I think things look

1842
01:36:18,400 --> 01:36:20,000
Speaker 11: easier for Patrick Mahomes.

1843
01:36:19,560 --> 01:36:24,920
Speaker 4: Now, right, Yeah, it seems as though the Chiefs are

1844
01:36:24,920 --> 01:36:27,759
Speaker 4: that team. Where as bad as it can look at times,

1845
01:36:29,040 --> 01:36:32,200
Speaker 4: there does seem to be that verbial switch that they

1846
01:36:32,280 --> 01:36:35,200
Speaker 4: flip and all of a sudden it's smooth sailing.

1847
01:36:37,240 --> 01:36:37,479
Speaker 7: Yeah.

1848
01:36:37,479 --> 01:36:39,120
Speaker 11: If they get the running game going, I think you're

1849
01:36:39,120 --> 01:36:44,360
Speaker 11: gonna see that even more going forward, play action, that's

1850
01:36:44,360 --> 01:36:45,320
Speaker 11: what they really need to.

1851
01:36:48,120 --> 01:36:48,280
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1852
01:36:48,360 --> 01:36:51,439
Speaker 10: Patrick Mahomes had three passing touchdowns in that game against

1853
01:36:51,439 --> 01:36:54,200
Speaker 10: the Chiefs. What did you notice about the Lions. They're

1854
01:36:54,200 --> 01:36:56,840
Speaker 10: now four and two on the season, so still a

1855
01:36:56,880 --> 01:37:00,000
Speaker 10: decent record, but they couldn't hang in there against the Chiefs.

1856
01:37:02,680 --> 01:37:04,640
Speaker 11: I just think it's a blip for them. It was

1857
01:37:04,640 --> 01:37:08,120
Speaker 11: an uncharacteristically bad game for the offense. I think going

1858
01:37:08,160 --> 01:37:10,720
Speaker 11: forward there are questions about the defense. For sure, can

1859
01:37:10,760 --> 01:37:13,639
Speaker 11: they play man coverage, especially against teams with more talent

1860
01:37:13,720 --> 01:37:16,559
Speaker 11: at wide receiver. But offensively, I'm not really worried about them.

1861
01:37:16,560 --> 01:37:18,360
Speaker 11: We've seen it for three years. We've seen the offensive

1862
01:37:18,360 --> 01:37:20,800
Speaker 11: line overpower teams. I think once they get back to that,

1863
01:37:20,800 --> 01:37:22,719
Speaker 11: they're going to move the ball. Well, it's a question

1864
01:37:22,800 --> 01:37:25,840
Speaker 11: with Kelvin Sheppard, the defensive coordinator, what can he get

1865
01:37:25,840 --> 01:37:27,519
Speaker 11: out of that defense? How can you evolve it from

1866
01:37:27,560 --> 01:37:29,479
Speaker 11: what they were last year. I think if they can

1867
01:37:29,479 --> 01:37:31,280
Speaker 11: find some answers down the stretch, I think they'll be

1868
01:37:31,400 --> 01:37:33,479
Speaker 11: just as dangerous as they were a year ago.

1869
01:37:33,640 --> 01:37:35,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, we've seen it too, that game last night where

1870
01:37:35,720 --> 01:37:38,160
Speaker 4: the Lions are all over it with the Chiefs. They're

1871
01:37:38,200 --> 01:37:41,800
Speaker 4: in it and you get one drop pass, one drive

1872
01:37:41,840 --> 01:37:43,800
Speaker 4: where you have to back it up and punt it

1873
01:37:43,840 --> 01:37:46,520
Speaker 4: away and all of a sudden, you're down two scores,

1874
01:37:46,560 --> 01:37:50,439
Speaker 4: and then the level of desperation rises, the crowd gets

1875
01:37:50,520 --> 01:37:52,280
Speaker 4: into it, and now you're in, all of a sudden,

1876
01:37:52,479 --> 01:37:54,599
Speaker 4: one drop pass and you're in a hole you can't

1877
01:37:54,600 --> 01:37:55,120
Speaker 4: dig out of.

1878
01:37:56,640 --> 01:37:58,559
Speaker 12: That's what it's like against the top teams in the league.

1879
01:37:58,560 --> 01:38:00,560
Speaker 11: There's the margin for error is so it seems like

1880
01:38:00,560 --> 01:38:02,479
Speaker 11: it's even smaller this year with so much parody at

1881
01:38:02,520 --> 01:38:02,920
Speaker 11: the top.

1882
01:38:02,760 --> 01:38:04,160
Speaker 12: Of the league.

1883
01:38:04,479 --> 01:38:07,240
Speaker 11: But I trust teams that have that thing that they

1884
01:38:07,280 --> 01:38:09,280
Speaker 11: can just hang their hat on on offense and they're

1885
01:38:09,280 --> 01:38:11,559
Speaker 11: always gonna have that offensive line, that downhill running game

1886
01:38:11,600 --> 01:38:14,120
Speaker 11: that forces defenses to play a certain type of way,

1887
01:38:14,640 --> 01:38:17,400
Speaker 11: gets certain type of coverage looks, which helps their passing game.

1888
01:38:17,720 --> 01:38:19,479
Speaker 11: For me, the question mark, which it has been for

1889
01:38:19,479 --> 01:38:21,760
Speaker 11: the last couple of years, is the defense. I think

1890
01:38:21,880 --> 01:38:23,640
Speaker 11: last night wasn't what you.

1891
01:38:23,640 --> 01:38:24,400
Speaker 12: Want to see out of them.

1892
01:38:24,479 --> 01:38:27,000
Speaker 11: You want to see them be able to contain a

1893
01:38:27,080 --> 01:38:29,000
Speaker 11: run game that hasn't been very good in the past,

1894
01:38:29,800 --> 01:38:31,680
Speaker 11: and we didn't see that. But there is time, and

1895
01:38:31,720 --> 01:38:34,960
Speaker 11: I think it is the first year defensive coordinator, so

1896
01:38:34,960 --> 01:38:36,720
Speaker 11: I think it's gonna take time. And I think when

1897
01:38:36,760 --> 01:38:39,360
Speaker 11: we revisit them in December. I think we're gonna have

1898
01:38:39,400 --> 01:38:41,400
Speaker 11: a totally different outlook on how their defense is.

1899
01:38:41,720 --> 01:38:44,200
Speaker 10: So we covered the biggest winner. Who's the biggest loser

1900
01:38:44,320 --> 01:38:45,120
Speaker 10: from Week six?

1901
01:38:46,800 --> 01:38:49,920
Speaker 12: Ah, that's a good question. I gotta go with the Dolphins.

1902
01:38:50,080 --> 01:38:52,840
Speaker 11: I just feel like whenever it seems like they're taking

1903
01:38:52,840 --> 01:38:54,760
Speaker 11: a step forward this season and maybe like they got

1904
01:38:54,760 --> 01:38:57,200
Speaker 11: their run game go into it looks a little more comfortable,

1905
01:38:57,240 --> 01:38:59,439
Speaker 11: it seems like they take two giant steps back and

1906
01:38:59,560 --> 01:39:01,880
Speaker 11: the second step always seems to come in the post

1907
01:39:01,880 --> 01:39:04,320
Speaker 11: a game press conference with someone making some type of comment,

1908
01:39:04,680 --> 01:39:09,880
Speaker 11: and Tua was comments after yesterday's games. I don't know

1909
01:39:10,000 --> 01:39:12,240
Speaker 11: who it reflects poorly on more. I don't know if

1910
01:39:12,240 --> 01:39:13,960
Speaker 11: it's the head coach. I don't know if it's the quarterback.

1911
01:39:14,000 --> 01:39:15,600
Speaker 11: I don't know if it's the GM who put this

1912
01:39:15,640 --> 01:39:17,519
Speaker 11: team together and has been around for a long time,

1913
01:39:17,560 --> 01:39:20,160
Speaker 11: one of the longest standing gms in the NFL in

1914
01:39:20,240 --> 01:39:20,840
Speaker 11: Chris career.

1915
01:39:21,280 --> 01:39:22,960
Speaker 12: But it's no good right now.

1916
01:39:23,160 --> 01:39:26,200
Speaker 11: It doesn't help that it was justin Herbert that kind

1917
01:39:26,200 --> 01:39:28,200
Speaker 11: of led that comeback, because that's always going to be

1918
01:39:28,240 --> 01:39:30,720
Speaker 11: the comparison with Tua, and like Chris Greer was there

1919
01:39:30,760 --> 01:39:33,799
Speaker 11: when they drafted too over Herbert, So it just seems

1920
01:39:33,800 --> 01:39:36,200
Speaker 11: like they're at a point of no return and there's

1921
01:39:36,240 --> 01:39:37,920
Speaker 11: gonna have to be some changes there at the top.

1922
01:39:38,200 --> 01:39:41,439
Speaker 4: Yeah, and it does seem to be almost imminent. I mean,

1923
01:39:41,479 --> 01:39:45,040
Speaker 4: there's no way that the full regime with Mike McDaniel,

1924
01:39:45,080 --> 01:39:49,559
Speaker 4: Tua and maybe the GM as well, survived this.

1925
01:39:51,800 --> 01:39:52,000
Speaker 10: Yeah.

1926
01:39:52,080 --> 01:39:53,600
Speaker 11: Yeah, I don't really see it, and I don't know

1927
01:39:53,600 --> 01:39:56,479
Speaker 11: where you go from here, just because of how the

1928
01:39:56,560 --> 01:39:58,479
Speaker 11: roster was kind of built around the vision of this

1929
01:39:58,520 --> 01:40:01,080
Speaker 11: offense for Mike McDaniel and how Mike McDaniel shape the

1930
01:40:01,120 --> 01:40:04,840
Speaker 11: offense to Tua's strengths. I think that's why we see

1931
01:40:04,880 --> 01:40:07,720
Speaker 11: when backups get in there. When we've seen this with

1932
01:40:07,760 --> 01:40:09,800
Speaker 11: similar systems like in San Francisco, it seems like it's

1933
01:40:09,800 --> 01:40:11,960
Speaker 11: plug and play with the quarterback, but with Miami it's

1934
01:40:12,000 --> 01:40:14,280
Speaker 11: been if it's not to it, it just doesn't work

1935
01:40:14,320 --> 01:40:14,559
Speaker 11: at all.

1936
01:40:14,600 --> 01:40:15,320
Speaker 12: And I think that just.

1937
01:40:15,280 --> 01:40:17,559
Speaker 11: Speaks to how they've had a tailor that offense and

1938
01:40:17,560 --> 01:40:20,880
Speaker 11: that personnel to him. So I do think that it

1939
01:40:20,880 --> 01:40:22,680
Speaker 11: has to be wholesale changes. I don't think it could

1940
01:40:22,680 --> 01:40:25,280
Speaker 11: be half measures. Just because of how this team is built.

1941
01:40:25,680 --> 01:40:26,920
Speaker 11: I think they're gonna need to blow it up and

1942
01:40:26,920 --> 01:40:27,439
Speaker 11: start from.

1943
01:40:27,320 --> 01:40:27,840
Speaker 12: The ground up.

1944
01:40:28,200 --> 01:40:32,120
Speaker 10: I know the Dolphins. Dolphins players specifically have been open

1945
01:40:32,280 --> 01:40:36,200
Speaker 10: about what's happening behind closed doors this offseason and into

1946
01:40:36,240 --> 01:40:39,880
Speaker 10: this season, and Tua's comments in the post game press

1947
01:40:39,880 --> 01:40:42,920
Speaker 10: conference talking about you know, in player led meetings, you

1948
01:40:42,960 --> 01:40:45,160
Speaker 10: have players that are showing up late, you have players

1949
01:40:45,160 --> 01:40:47,840
Speaker 10: that aren't even showing up to player led meetings. The

1950
01:40:47,880 --> 01:40:50,719
Speaker 10: fact that a quarterback is being that open and honest

1951
01:40:50,840 --> 01:40:54,679
Speaker 10: with what is happening, what is going wrong, you almost

1952
01:40:54,760 --> 01:40:57,519
Speaker 10: wonder is that a cry for help, so that it's

1953
01:40:57,680 --> 01:41:01,439
Speaker 10: out there in the public that's something has to be done.

1954
01:41:03,040 --> 01:41:04,759
Speaker 12: It definitely speaks to the desperation.

1955
01:41:04,880 --> 01:41:07,320
Speaker 11: I feel like they've been talking about a culture change

1956
01:41:07,320 --> 01:41:10,120
Speaker 11: for the last two off seasons, and I think players

1957
01:41:10,120 --> 01:41:12,840
Speaker 11: showing up to meetings on time was a specific.

1958
01:41:12,520 --> 01:41:13,519
Speaker 12: Talking point this year.

1959
01:41:13,560 --> 01:41:15,599
Speaker 11: It was like, Hey, we're not gonna let players show

1960
01:41:15,640 --> 01:41:17,000
Speaker 11: up too late to meetings anymore.

1961
01:41:17,000 --> 01:41:18,920
Speaker 12: And it was like, oh, you guys are just tolerating

1962
01:41:18,960 --> 01:41:19,519
Speaker 12: that in the past.

1963
01:41:19,520 --> 01:41:21,840
Speaker 11: But apparently even when there's been a point of emphasis,

1964
01:41:22,120 --> 01:41:23,400
Speaker 11: hasn't really changed anything.

1965
01:41:23,880 --> 01:41:27,440
Speaker 12: And I don't like to look into.

1966
01:41:27,200 --> 01:41:29,640
Speaker 11: These off field issues that pop up too much, but

1967
01:41:29,680 --> 01:41:31,360
Speaker 11: when you watch them on the field. It kind of

1968
01:41:31,360 --> 01:41:33,120
Speaker 11: feels like they're that kind of team, you know what

1969
01:41:33,160 --> 01:41:35,280
Speaker 11: I mean, Like they do lack a little toughness.

1970
01:41:35,360 --> 01:41:36,920
Speaker 12: They do lack a little mental toughness.

1971
01:41:36,920 --> 01:41:39,599
Speaker 11: When something goes wrong, it seems to just cascade throughout

1972
01:41:39,600 --> 01:41:42,719
Speaker 11: the team, and they don't look like a prepared team

1973
01:41:42,880 --> 01:41:43,559
Speaker 11: every week.

1974
01:41:43,920 --> 01:41:45,120
Speaker 12: It's very inconsistent.

1975
01:41:45,160 --> 01:41:47,920
Speaker 11: I think, inconsistency even when there are big there are highs,

1976
01:41:47,920 --> 01:41:48,639
Speaker 11: and there are lows.

1977
01:41:48,880 --> 01:41:51,479
Speaker 12: I think that's a sign of a poorly coached team.

1978
01:41:51,720 --> 01:41:55,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's it does seem to be a little bit

1979
01:41:55,080 --> 01:41:57,360
Speaker 4: of a mush piled in Miami. You don't know really

1980
01:41:57,400 --> 01:41:59,720
Speaker 4: who to even point the finger at, and nobody really

1981
01:41:59,760 --> 01:42:03,439
Speaker 4: cares even in the building. Nobody, right, I mean, it

1982
01:42:03,479 --> 01:42:06,920
Speaker 4: really seems like everybody's really calm and collected about how

1983
01:42:07,080 --> 01:42:10,479
Speaker 4: dysfunctional that culture is. I want to talk about a

1984
01:42:10,520 --> 01:42:16,000
Speaker 4: culture that's not dysfunctional. The Steelers took on the Cleveland Browns,

1985
01:42:16,120 --> 01:42:19,200
Speaker 4: and the Steelers, I mean, it looks like it's an

1986
01:42:19,400 --> 01:42:22,680
Speaker 4: absolute epic battle for them to score a touchdown, and

1987
01:42:22,680 --> 01:42:26,040
Speaker 4: I mean their offense just looks like it's fighting tooth

1988
01:42:26,080 --> 01:42:29,200
Speaker 4: and nail. They scored twenty three points, but man, oh, man,

1989
01:42:29,240 --> 01:42:31,519
Speaker 4: they just keep winning games four and won the Steelers,

1990
01:42:31,520 --> 01:42:36,080
Speaker 4: I think at the top of the AFC North. What

1991
01:42:36,200 --> 01:42:38,080
Speaker 4: a shocker that is. And when you sit back and

1992
01:42:38,120 --> 01:42:39,639
Speaker 4: look at the big picture where we were a month

1993
01:42:39,680 --> 01:42:42,760
Speaker 4: and a half ago, the Steelers being at for to

1994
01:42:42,760 --> 01:42:44,960
Speaker 4: one of and a top that division really is a

1995
01:42:45,040 --> 01:42:46,920
Speaker 4: surprise so far of them first month, is it not?

1996
01:42:48,360 --> 01:42:51,439
Speaker 11: It is really a shocker. I do think they've had

1997
01:42:51,560 --> 01:42:54,360
Speaker 11: a generous schedule to start. Like you said, when you

1998
01:42:54,439 --> 01:42:55,920
Speaker 11: when you sit down and watch the games, they don't

1999
01:42:55,920 --> 01:42:57,880
Speaker 11: look like a four and one team, especially on offense.

2000
01:42:57,920 --> 01:42:59,839
Speaker 11: Like you said, it's like fighting tooth and every touchdown

2001
01:43:00,160 --> 01:43:02,000
Speaker 11: like a miracle, and it feels like a twelve play bug.

2002
01:43:02,680 --> 01:43:04,639
Speaker 12: They're gonna have to find some layer of.

2003
01:43:04,560 --> 01:43:07,439
Speaker 11: Explosiveness if they're going to continue this, and they're gonna

2004
01:43:07,479 --> 01:43:10,120
Speaker 11: avoid what we've seen from them from the past couple

2005
01:43:10,160 --> 01:43:10,439
Speaker 11: of years.

2006
01:43:10,439 --> 01:43:11,960
Speaker 12: I feel like even last year they got off to

2007
01:43:12,000 --> 01:43:12,479
Speaker 12: a hot start.

2008
01:43:12,479 --> 01:43:14,240
Speaker 11: I think they were leading the AFC North to halfway

2009
01:43:14,280 --> 01:43:16,160
Speaker 11: through the season and then they didn't win a game

2010
01:43:16,200 --> 01:43:17,439
Speaker 11: for like the last month and a half.

2011
01:43:17,560 --> 01:43:18,920
Speaker 12: We saw that a couple of years ago.

2012
01:43:18,800 --> 01:43:20,760
Speaker 11: When they still had Ben Roethlisberger, and I think they

2013
01:43:20,760 --> 01:43:22,800
Speaker 11: started eleven to zero, ended up losing, and then they

2014
01:43:22,800 --> 01:43:24,200
Speaker 11: didn't win another game for the rest.

2015
01:43:24,040 --> 01:43:24,599
Speaker 12: Of the season.

2016
01:43:25,000 --> 01:43:27,400
Speaker 11: So I think things are gonna have to change, like

2017
01:43:27,479 --> 01:43:28,400
Speaker 11: is this sustainable?

2018
01:43:28,479 --> 01:43:31,120
Speaker 12: But I think the biggest.

2019
01:43:30,600 --> 01:43:32,400
Speaker 11: Green flag is how I would put it, is that

2020
01:43:32,520 --> 01:43:34,920
Speaker 11: we haven't really heard any complaints about the offense from

2021
01:43:34,960 --> 01:43:37,960
Speaker 11: Aaron Rodgers, even with the struggles and getting Aaron Rodgers

2022
01:43:37,960 --> 01:43:39,960
Speaker 11: to buy into a type of offense that he's not

2023
01:43:40,040 --> 01:43:43,040
Speaker 11: typically used to. Like, I know, they're still running a

2024
01:43:43,040 --> 01:43:46,000
Speaker 11: fair amount of shotgun, but he's getting.

2025
01:43:45,760 --> 01:43:46,639
Speaker 12: Under center a little more.

2026
01:43:46,640 --> 01:43:48,920
Speaker 11: He's turning his back to the defense and running a

2027
01:43:48,960 --> 01:43:50,800
Speaker 11: lot of play action, which is something that he hasn't

2028
01:43:50,880 --> 01:43:54,800
Speaker 11: enjoyed during his career. So Arthur Smith, whatever he's doing

2029
01:43:55,040 --> 01:43:56,960
Speaker 11: to get into Roger's ear and get him to kind

2030
01:43:57,000 --> 01:44:00,439
Speaker 11: of play ball, it's been a great coach job. And

2031
01:44:00,760 --> 01:44:02,479
Speaker 11: maybe it's a Tomlin thing. And we've seen this from

2032
01:44:02,520 --> 01:44:04,920
Speaker 11: Tomlin being able to keep that locker room together in

2033
01:44:04,960 --> 01:44:06,640
Speaker 11: ways that we haven't seen the Dolphins be able to

2034
01:44:06,640 --> 01:44:09,800
Speaker 11: do it. It is impressive and I think with the

2035
01:44:09,840 --> 01:44:12,439
Speaker 11: struggles of the three other teams in the division, I

2036
01:44:12,479 --> 01:44:14,920
Speaker 11: think they're gonna have a chance to win this division.

2037
01:44:14,920 --> 01:44:16,280
Speaker 12: And maybe even host a playoff game.

2038
01:44:16,439 --> 01:44:19,920
Speaker 10: Another team in the AFC North, The Baltimore Ravens lose

2039
01:44:20,720 --> 01:44:24,519
Speaker 10: yesterday to the Rams seventeen to three, still without Lamar Jackson.

2040
01:44:24,520 --> 01:44:27,120
Speaker 10: I know the plan was, Okay, bye week, they have

2041
01:44:27,160 --> 01:44:30,040
Speaker 10: a bye week in week seven, then we reassess Lamar

2042
01:44:30,160 --> 01:44:33,880
Speaker 10: Jackson coming back into the picture. The Ravens are one

2043
01:44:33,920 --> 01:44:36,799
Speaker 10: in five on the season. How big of a mountain

2044
01:44:36,920 --> 01:44:39,120
Speaker 10: do they have to climb to get back in this thing?

2045
01:44:41,080 --> 01:44:42,840
Speaker 11: It is a big mountain, but I don't think it's

2046
01:44:42,840 --> 01:44:44,439
Speaker 11: that big of a mountain because you look at the

2047
01:44:44,479 --> 01:44:47,439
Speaker 11: schedule and it gets a lot easier after the bye

2048
01:44:47,479 --> 01:44:50,800
Speaker 11: week you get Lamar back. And I will say this,

2049
01:44:50,920 --> 01:44:53,120
Speaker 11: like the game was ugly if you watched it, and

2050
01:44:54,560 --> 01:44:55,200
Speaker 11: they never.

2051
01:44:55,080 --> 01:44:56,080
Speaker 12: Really had a chance in it.

2052
01:44:56,120 --> 01:44:59,120
Speaker 11: But holding that Rams offense to only seventeen points after

2053
01:44:59,160 --> 01:45:01,679
Speaker 11: what we've seen from defense in the past couple of weeks,

2054
01:45:02,000 --> 01:45:04,680
Speaker 11: and how they've struggled against run games, and you know

2055
01:45:04,760 --> 01:45:06,640
Speaker 11: Sean McVay really wants to run the ball first, set

2056
01:45:06,680 --> 01:45:08,400
Speaker 11: up the play action pass. Those are the types of

2057
01:45:08,400 --> 01:45:11,680
Speaker 11: offenses that have given Baltimore problems this year. Going to

2058
01:45:11,720 --> 01:45:15,519
Speaker 11: the Lions game, even the Bills game, and we saw

2059
01:45:15,560 --> 01:45:18,600
Speaker 11: them kind of make some changes and they held up

2060
01:45:18,640 --> 01:45:20,080
Speaker 11: better against it. And maybe it was just because it

2061
01:45:20,120 --> 01:45:24,080
Speaker 11: was a Saggi afternoon and Matthew Stafford, when you put

2062
01:45:24,120 --> 01:45:26,120
Speaker 11: an older quarterback in the rain, he looks a little

2063
01:45:26,160 --> 01:45:27,280
Speaker 11: bit older than he actually is.

2064
01:45:27,720 --> 01:45:29,160
Speaker 12: Maybe it was a case of that.

2065
01:45:29,200 --> 01:45:32,400
Speaker 11: But I was enthused by what I saw out of

2066
01:45:32,439 --> 01:45:35,439
Speaker 11: the defense, and it does bode well for them going forward.

2067
01:45:35,760 --> 01:45:37,840
Speaker 11: Now you get Lamar back in the fold, maybe Derek

2068
01:45:37,840 --> 01:45:39,880
Speaker 11: Henry stops fumbling the ball in crunch time, and I

2069
01:45:39,880 --> 01:45:43,040
Speaker 11: think they have a chance of winning ten.

2070
01:45:42,479 --> 01:45:44,080
Speaker 12: Or eleven games from here on out.

2071
01:45:44,120 --> 01:45:45,680
Speaker 11: I know they don't have much of a margin for air,

2072
01:45:45,760 --> 01:45:48,560
Speaker 11: but their schedule kind of widens the margin.

2073
01:45:48,240 --> 01:45:48,920
Speaker 12: For air for them.

2074
01:45:49,120 --> 01:45:50,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, they do have a chance at I mean, you

2075
01:45:51,000 --> 01:45:53,439
Speaker 4: think about the way it's gone for the Ravens. They

2076
01:45:53,439 --> 01:45:55,800
Speaker 4: started out and they still have a loaded roster if

2077
01:45:55,840 --> 01:45:58,679
Speaker 4: they could get it healthy. They started scoring forty points

2078
01:45:58,680 --> 01:46:01,840
Speaker 4: in their first two weeks. Then it was thirty, then

2079
01:46:01,880 --> 01:46:04,759
Speaker 4: it was twenty, then it was ten, and week five

2080
01:46:04,840 --> 01:46:08,280
Speaker 4: and yesterday they scored three. I mean, it's going away

2081
01:46:08,439 --> 01:46:12,400
Speaker 4: fast and it starts and I know Lamar is that guy.

2082
01:46:12,760 --> 01:46:17,479
Speaker 4: I mean he is impossible to replace. But man, oh man,

2083
01:46:17,800 --> 01:46:20,839
Speaker 4: is it's circling the drain there, And certainly they limped

2084
01:46:20,840 --> 01:46:24,160
Speaker 4: into their bye week and they come out with the Bears,

2085
01:46:24,200 --> 01:46:26,280
Speaker 4: the Dolphins, the Vikings and the Browns coming out of

2086
01:46:26,280 --> 01:46:28,759
Speaker 4: the by so they should be able to write the ship.

2087
01:46:29,680 --> 01:46:30,360
Speaker 4: Is it too late?

2088
01:46:33,000 --> 01:46:34,080
Speaker 12: I don't think it's too late.

2089
01:46:34,360 --> 01:46:36,240
Speaker 11: I don't because I think we're gonna see the Steelers

2090
01:46:36,280 --> 01:46:38,240
Speaker 11: take a little bit of a step back. I think

2091
01:46:38,280 --> 01:46:40,439
Speaker 11: their schedule gets a little bit harder after an easy

2092
01:46:40,439 --> 01:46:43,759
Speaker 11: schedule over the first month and a half. And Lamar

2093
01:46:43,960 --> 01:46:46,640
Speaker 11: is that guy. I think he solves a lot of problems.

2094
01:46:46,760 --> 01:46:48,880
Speaker 11: I don't think he gets enough credit for the for

2095
01:46:48,960 --> 01:46:51,960
Speaker 11: how he elevates that offense in ways that are maybe

2096
01:46:52,040 --> 01:46:54,360
Speaker 11: harder to see with the naked eye, like, for instance,

2097
01:46:54,400 --> 01:46:57,120
Speaker 11: I think he makes the pass protection better because you

2098
01:46:57,120 --> 01:46:58,880
Speaker 11: can't pin your ears back and just rush with no

2099
01:46:58,960 --> 01:47:01,360
Speaker 11: abandon because you have to worry about the scramble lanes.

2100
01:47:01,400 --> 01:47:03,639
Speaker 11: You have to worry about him turning a pressure drop

2101
01:47:03,680 --> 01:47:07,200
Speaker 11: back into a twenty five yard run. So just him

2102
01:47:07,240 --> 01:47:09,200
Speaker 11: being out there improves the offensive line. I think it

2103
01:47:09,240 --> 01:47:11,000
Speaker 11: makes the run game a lot more effected because you

2104
01:47:11,000 --> 01:47:12,600
Speaker 11: have to account for the quarterback.

2105
01:47:12,240 --> 01:47:14,400
Speaker 12: In the run game. I think it makes the receivers

2106
01:47:14,400 --> 01:47:15,280
Speaker 12: more effective because.

2107
01:47:15,080 --> 01:47:16,960
Speaker 11: It's harder to play man coverage against them because you

2108
01:47:17,000 --> 01:47:19,200
Speaker 11: can't turn your back to the pocket or he'll take off.

2109
01:47:19,520 --> 01:47:22,920
Speaker 11: So it's hard to just bank on one player turning

2110
01:47:22,960 --> 01:47:25,240
Speaker 11: the whole offense around. But Lamar is a player that's

2111
01:47:25,240 --> 01:47:27,320
Speaker 11: capable of doing that just by being on the field.

2112
01:47:27,479 --> 01:47:29,320
Speaker 10: The Bills have that one player too. His name is

2113
01:47:29,400 --> 01:47:31,960
Speaker 10: Josh Allen. They're getting ready for a game against the

2114
01:47:32,000 --> 01:47:35,960
Speaker 10: Atlanta Falcons in Atlanta tonight at seven fifteen on Monday

2115
01:47:36,040 --> 01:47:39,040
Speaker 10: Night Football. Now, the Bills are averaging more than thirty

2116
01:47:39,040 --> 01:47:42,200
Speaker 10: points per game just face you know. Last week suffered

2117
01:47:42,200 --> 01:47:45,000
Speaker 10: a tough loss to the Patriots that came down to

2118
01:47:45,080 --> 01:47:48,040
Speaker 10: the wire. The Falcons have the number one total defense.

2119
01:47:48,479 --> 01:47:50,400
Speaker 10: What sticks out most about this matchup.

2120
01:47:52,520 --> 01:47:53,599
Speaker 12: I think it's a great matchup.

2121
01:47:53,720 --> 01:47:55,160
Speaker 11: I think it's a great test for the Bills in

2122
01:47:55,200 --> 01:47:59,400
Speaker 11: particular obviously one of the top offenses in the NFL.

2123
01:47:59,479 --> 01:48:01,360
Speaker 11: But I do think there's room to grow for them,

2124
01:48:01,439 --> 01:48:03,479
Speaker 11: especially on early downs. I think they've been able to

2125
01:48:03,520 --> 01:48:05,880
Speaker 11: run the football effectively. I think Josh has just been

2126
01:48:06,600 --> 01:48:09,720
Speaker 11: a master at picking out open wide receivers. But I

2127
01:48:09,720 --> 01:48:11,599
Speaker 11: think the one thing they haven't done is create explosive

2128
01:48:11,600 --> 01:48:13,280
Speaker 11: plays in the passing game on early downs. And I

2129
01:48:13,320 --> 01:48:16,240
Speaker 11: think you're seeing defenses start to adjust to how the

2130
01:48:16,240 --> 01:48:18,519
Speaker 11: Bills are playing. They're getting under center, they're putting bigger

2131
01:48:18,520 --> 01:48:22,520
Speaker 11: bodies on the on the field, they're running the football,

2132
01:48:23,000 --> 01:48:24,840
Speaker 11: and I think we're seeing teams play a little more

2133
01:48:24,880 --> 01:48:27,799
Speaker 11: single high, which should, in theory, open up those downfield looks.

2134
01:48:28,720 --> 01:48:30,320
Speaker 11: I think you're gonna see a lot of single high

2135
01:48:30,360 --> 01:48:33,200
Speaker 11: coverages against Atlanta tonight, and I think they're gonna sell

2136
01:48:33,200 --> 01:48:35,360
Speaker 11: out to stop the run. And if we could see

2137
01:48:35,360 --> 01:48:37,320
Speaker 11: them cash in on some of those downfield throws, I'm

2138
01:48:37,360 --> 01:48:39,720
Speaker 11: gonna feel a lot better about the Bills offense, which

2139
01:48:39,760 --> 01:48:42,640
Speaker 11: is already putting up great results. But I think this

2140
01:48:42,720 --> 01:48:45,280
Speaker 11: is a game where you could establish yourselves as the

2141
01:48:45,520 --> 01:48:47,320
Speaker 11: not only the best team in the AFC, but the

2142
01:48:47,360 --> 01:48:49,440
Speaker 11: favorites to win the Super Bowl if they're not already.

2143
01:48:49,640 --> 01:48:52,040
Speaker 4: And it's I think one of the reasons that you

2144
01:48:52,080 --> 01:48:54,400
Speaker 4: know the early down big plays in the passing game

2145
01:48:54,520 --> 01:48:57,600
Speaker 4: is because they go so much twelve personnel and thirteen personnel.

2146
01:48:57,920 --> 01:48:59,599
Speaker 4: You know, it's hard to get a tight end behind

2147
01:48:59,600 --> 01:49:02,640
Speaker 4: the defense, But you know, with Keon Coleman out there,

2148
01:49:02,680 --> 01:49:04,200
Speaker 4: maybe they could give that a shot. I think I

2149
01:49:04,240 --> 01:49:07,120
Speaker 4: think that's a it's a great point by you that. Yeah,

2150
01:49:07,360 --> 01:49:11,280
Speaker 4: people have been clamoring for them to see Josh's arm.

2151
01:49:11,640 --> 01:49:13,760
Speaker 4: You know, we want to see Josh's arm inactor, and

2152
01:49:13,880 --> 01:49:17,400
Speaker 4: defenses just won't let it happen. I mean, they're keeping

2153
01:49:17,400 --> 01:49:20,080
Speaker 4: a lid on it, going too high safety, They're taking

2154
01:49:20,080 --> 01:49:22,880
Speaker 4: their chances with the run game and just keeping a

2155
01:49:22,920 --> 01:49:27,240
Speaker 4: lid on it. Do you suspect that You suspect the

2156
01:49:27,240 --> 01:49:29,600
Speaker 4: Falcons will have to pull a safety down into the

2157
01:49:29,600 --> 01:49:32,840
Speaker 4: box to stop the run. Otherwise the Bills will just,

2158
01:49:33,280 --> 01:49:34,960
Speaker 4: you know, bulldoze them and Josh will throw for one

2159
01:49:35,000 --> 01:49:38,520
Speaker 4: hundred and forty seven yards and run for two touchdowns

2160
01:49:38,560 --> 01:49:40,559
Speaker 4: and the red zone will be one hundred percent.

2161
01:49:41,920 --> 01:49:43,719
Speaker 12: Yeah, I think it is one of those games.

2162
01:49:43,800 --> 01:49:47,080
Speaker 11: And you look at the Falcons front, it's a little

2163
01:49:47,160 --> 01:49:50,559
Speaker 11: lighter than the normal NFL team. Even their linebackers like

2164
01:49:50,600 --> 01:49:53,040
Speaker 11: Divine Diablo is having a great year at linebacker, but

2165
01:49:53,080 --> 01:49:54,439
Speaker 11: he is a finesse linebacker.

2166
01:49:54,479 --> 01:49:55,400
Speaker 12: He's not gonna take on blocks.

2167
01:49:55,439 --> 01:49:57,479
Speaker 11: He's going to work around blocks, and I don't think

2168
01:49:57,479 --> 01:50:00,599
Speaker 11: that really works against this uh Buffalo Bills offensive line

2169
01:50:00,600 --> 01:50:02,559
Speaker 11: in this run game in particular, which is a downhill

2170
01:50:02,640 --> 01:50:03,160
Speaker 11: running game.

2171
01:50:04,840 --> 01:50:07,280
Speaker 12: But I do want to see more out of Keon Coleman.

2172
01:50:07,280 --> 01:50:10,360
Speaker 11: I think Keon Coleman is the answer to that that problem,

2173
01:50:10,400 --> 01:50:13,400
Speaker 11: that downfield problem, especially when they get those cover one

2174
01:50:13,439 --> 01:50:16,439
Speaker 11: looks that man coverage with only one safety DP. He's

2175
01:50:16,520 --> 01:50:20,240
Speaker 11: been Josh's favorite target, but the efficiency hasn't really been

2176
01:50:20,240 --> 01:50:22,960
Speaker 11: there yet, and we've seen it with Josh Palmer. But

2177
01:50:23,240 --> 01:50:24,840
Speaker 11: I don't think you want to be relying on Josh

2178
01:50:24,880 --> 01:50:28,840
Speaker 11: Palmer when you have Super Bowl aspiration. So I think

2179
01:50:28,840 --> 01:50:30,960
Speaker 11: this is a big stretch for Keon Coleman coming up

2180
01:50:31,600 --> 01:50:33,800
Speaker 11: these next couple of weeks before the trade deadline. You

2181
01:50:33,800 --> 01:50:35,439
Speaker 11: want to show that you can be that guy, that

2182
01:50:35,560 --> 01:50:38,439
Speaker 11: man coverage target for Josh Allen. If not, I think

2183
01:50:38,479 --> 01:50:39,920
Speaker 11: they do have to make a move at the trade

2184
01:50:39,920 --> 01:50:42,280
Speaker 11: deadline because I don't think you can let this opportunity pass.

2185
01:50:42,560 --> 01:50:44,519
Speaker 11: You look at the AFC standings right now and it's

2186
01:50:44,560 --> 01:50:46,519
Speaker 11: it's right for the pick, and the Chiefs aren't even

2187
01:50:46,520 --> 01:50:47,679
Speaker 11: in the playoff field right now.

2188
01:50:47,880 --> 01:50:49,080
Speaker 12: The Ravens could be out of it.

2189
01:50:49,520 --> 01:50:51,280
Speaker 11: The Colts are the number one seed right now, the

2190
01:50:51,280 --> 01:50:53,400
Speaker 11: Steelers are the number two see right now.

2191
01:50:53,439 --> 01:50:55,360
Speaker 12: I think this is the year.

2192
01:50:55,160 --> 01:50:56,960
Speaker 11: For Buffalo, and I think they have to capitalize and

2193
01:50:56,960 --> 01:50:58,680
Speaker 11: pull out all the stops in order to be the

2194
01:50:58,720 --> 01:50:59,879
Speaker 11: best version of themselves.

2195
01:51:00,280 --> 01:51:04,559
Speaker 10: Last question for me, flipping it to Atlanta's offense going

2196
01:51:04,560 --> 01:51:07,400
Speaker 10: against Buffalo's defense. Now, you have a younger quarterback in

2197
01:51:07,479 --> 01:51:11,680
Speaker 10: Michael Pennix Junior. But Pennix has a lot of playmakers

2198
01:51:11,720 --> 01:51:14,599
Speaker 10: to get the ball to, obviously, Bijon Robinson, You've got

2199
01:51:14,680 --> 01:51:17,760
Speaker 10: Drake London, Kyle Pitts is an easy mismatch in their.

2200
01:51:17,760 --> 01:51:20,400
Speaker 10: Buffalo's defense a little bit injured right now. They just

2201
01:51:20,439 --> 01:51:24,599
Speaker 10: put two players on injured reserve this weekend in Damar

2202
01:51:24,760 --> 01:51:28,160
Speaker 10: Hamlin and TJ. Sanders. Now those are two guys who

2203
01:51:28,200 --> 01:51:31,439
Speaker 10: aren't getting a ton of snaps, but still important depth

2204
01:51:31,520 --> 01:51:35,880
Speaker 10: to this team. Titan well, Obviously on offense, Titan Dalton

2205
01:51:36,040 --> 01:51:39,840
Speaker 10: Kate is questionable. Wide receiver Curtis Samuel also questionable for

2206
01:51:39,880 --> 01:51:43,439
Speaker 10: this one. Linebacker Matt Mulano is out, but the good

2207
01:51:43,479 --> 01:51:46,599
Speaker 10: news is that defensive tackle At Oliver should be back

2208
01:51:46,640 --> 01:51:49,000
Speaker 10: in the fold. He's missed every game since that Week

2209
01:51:49,040 --> 01:51:51,800
Speaker 10: one game against the Ravens. When you look at the

2210
01:51:51,800 --> 01:51:55,919
Speaker 10: playmakers that Atlanta has, and you see what the Bills

2211
01:51:56,200 --> 01:51:59,840
Speaker 10: have on defense, Where do you see this matchup going

2212
01:52:00,000 --> 01:52:01,400
Speaker 10: and who has the upper hand.

2213
01:52:03,000 --> 01:52:05,760
Speaker 11: I think it comes down to tackling, and I think

2214
01:52:05,800 --> 01:52:09,000
Speaker 11: sometimes we overlook the most fundamental part of playing defense,

2215
01:52:09,000 --> 01:52:10,320
Speaker 11: like the only way to end up play is to

2216
01:52:10,320 --> 01:52:13,439
Speaker 11: bring the ball carrier down to the turf, and the

2217
01:52:13,479 --> 01:52:15,240
Speaker 11: Bills have had a problem with that. And I think

2218
01:52:15,280 --> 01:52:18,120
Speaker 11: when you look at everything else with the defensive performance,

2219
01:52:18,479 --> 01:52:22,120
Speaker 11: it's been fine to even good outside of that, especially

2220
01:52:22,160 --> 01:52:23,640
Speaker 11: the pass rush. I think the pass rush has been

2221
01:52:23,640 --> 01:52:27,160
Speaker 11: where they want, especially from the edge rushers. So I

2222
01:52:27,200 --> 01:52:29,000
Speaker 11: think this is another great test on the other side

2223
01:52:29,000 --> 01:52:33,080
Speaker 11: of the ball, where we've seen them miss a handful

2224
01:52:33,080 --> 01:52:36,320
Speaker 11: of tackles through the first month and a half, and

2225
01:52:36,360 --> 01:52:37,800
Speaker 11: this is the team that might be one of the

2226
01:52:37,840 --> 01:52:39,800
Speaker 11: hardest to tackle in the NFL. So it's a really

2227
01:52:39,880 --> 01:52:42,519
Speaker 11: good litmus test, especially for the second level. Who's gonna

2228
01:52:42,520 --> 01:52:44,160
Speaker 11: have to contend with Kyle Pitts. Who's gonna have to

2229
01:52:44,160 --> 01:52:47,080
Speaker 11: contend with Jehan Robinson when he gets you know, outside,

2230
01:52:47,080 --> 01:52:49,640
Speaker 11: when he catches dump offs, he can break past the

2231
01:52:49,640 --> 01:52:51,800
Speaker 11: first level of the defense. Ed Oliver being out there

2232
01:52:51,840 --> 01:52:54,040
Speaker 11: is definitely gonna help because he's gonna occupy blockers and

2233
01:52:54,080 --> 01:52:55,800
Speaker 11: kind of keep those blockers from climbing up to the

2234
01:52:55,840 --> 01:52:58,200
Speaker 11: second level. But that hasn't really been the problem for

2235
01:52:58,240 --> 01:53:00,160
Speaker 11: me when I've watched Buffalo. The problem has been open

2236
01:53:00,240 --> 01:53:03,720
Speaker 11: field tackling. And when you get Bjon Robinson one on one,

2237
01:53:03,720 --> 01:53:05,320
Speaker 11: I think that's one of the better tests in the

2238
01:53:05,400 --> 01:53:07,080
Speaker 11: NFL when it comes to your tackling.

2239
01:53:07,120 --> 01:53:09,240
Speaker 12: So this is what I'm That's what I'm.

2240
01:53:09,040 --> 01:53:12,479
Speaker 11: Really gonna be watching for with Buffalo's defense tonight, and

2241
01:53:12,520 --> 01:53:14,360
Speaker 11: I think it's gonna tell us a lot about what

2242
01:53:14,400 --> 01:53:16,479
Speaker 11: this team can be going for this unit going forward.

2243
01:53:16,520 --> 01:53:18,439
Speaker 4: I should say last one for me, I'm gonna go

2244
01:53:18,479 --> 01:53:20,400
Speaker 4: back around the NFL one of the most surprising I

2245
01:53:20,400 --> 01:53:23,320
Speaker 4: had forgotten about this. I'm gonna let you just touch

2246
01:53:23,360 --> 01:53:25,680
Speaker 4: base on this. The most surprising game for me the

2247
01:53:25,880 --> 01:53:29,920
Speaker 4: entire weekend was the New York Giants beating, yeah, the

2248
01:53:29,920 --> 01:53:32,880
Speaker 4: Philadelphia Eagles on Thursday. And I was the first game

2249
01:53:32,920 --> 01:53:35,559
Speaker 4: out of the blocks and the Giants rise up and

2250
01:53:35,640 --> 01:53:42,080
Speaker 4: double up the Philadelphia Eagles. What's going on? I mean

2251
01:53:42,080 --> 01:53:45,320
Speaker 4: that the Giants, right, I mean that, certainly the Giants

2252
01:53:45,320 --> 01:53:48,240
Speaker 4: got a big boost. They came out energized in front

2253
01:53:48,240 --> 01:53:53,720
Speaker 4: of their home fans and put on a show. To me,

2254
01:53:53,880 --> 01:53:56,439
Speaker 4: there is something there. I mean, we'll see how good

2255
01:53:57,120 --> 01:54:01,080
Speaker 4: Jackson Dart can be. But if the way Brian Dable

2256
01:54:01,120 --> 01:54:03,559
Speaker 4: has those guys playing, you know, and I get it's

2257
01:54:03,640 --> 01:54:06,160
Speaker 4: division game, those are a little closer usually. What did

2258
01:54:06,160 --> 01:54:08,320
Speaker 4: they do that caught Philly off guard?

2259
01:54:09,920 --> 01:54:12,240
Speaker 11: I think they've done, especially on the defensive side of

2260
01:54:12,280 --> 01:54:14,160
Speaker 11: the ball. Start there, because I think that's the crux

2261
01:54:14,160 --> 01:54:16,600
Speaker 11: of the problem for Philadelphia. I think they've done what

2262
01:54:16,720 --> 01:54:19,360
Speaker 11: every other team has done against Philadelphia. That's play a

2263
01:54:19,360 --> 01:54:21,599
Speaker 11: lot of that too high zone and forced Jalen Hurts

2264
01:54:21,600 --> 01:54:23,559
Speaker 11: to be a process or force him to play on time,

2265
01:54:23,640 --> 01:54:26,559
Speaker 11: force him to anticipate and throw into windows before receivers

2266
01:54:26,600 --> 01:54:28,800
Speaker 11: get there. And that's one thing he hasn't been able

2267
01:54:28,800 --> 01:54:30,400
Speaker 11: to do throughout his career. When you play a lot

2268
01:54:30,400 --> 01:54:32,040
Speaker 11: of man coverage, then he could just pick out a

2269
01:54:32,080 --> 01:54:34,440
Speaker 11: guy like I like to say, when a defense plays

2270
01:54:34,440 --> 01:54:37,800
Speaker 11: man coverage, they're trying to beat the skill players. When

2271
01:54:37,800 --> 01:54:39,879
Speaker 11: they play zone coverage, they're trying to beat the quarterback.

2272
01:54:39,920 --> 01:54:41,680
Speaker 11: And I think we're seeing a lot of defenses try

2273
01:54:41,720 --> 01:54:44,520
Speaker 11: to beat that quarterback and we haven't really seen him evolve,

2274
01:54:44,520 --> 01:54:46,920
Speaker 11: and we haven't seen that offensive alve But I think

2275
01:54:47,600 --> 01:54:49,800
Speaker 11: I know that the play caller, Kevin Patula has gotten

2276
01:54:49,840 --> 01:54:50,880
Speaker 11: a lot of the blame for that.

2277
01:54:51,400 --> 01:54:53,320
Speaker 12: But I think you can only change in the ways.

2278
01:54:53,080 --> 01:54:55,360
Speaker 11: That a quarterback allows you to change. Like I think

2279
01:54:55,400 --> 01:54:57,840
Speaker 11: Buffalo has gone through an evolution on offense over the

2280
01:54:57,840 --> 01:54:59,840
Speaker 11: past couple of years because I think Josh Allen some

2281
01:55:00,080 --> 01:55:02,760
Speaker 11: multifaceted quarterback who can do a lot of different things,

2282
01:55:02,760 --> 01:55:05,600
Speaker 11: whether it's you know, the quick game, whether it's straight dropback,

2283
01:55:05,640 --> 01:55:09,040
Speaker 11: whether it's boot, whether it's RPO, Whereas with Jalen Hurts,

2284
01:55:09,080 --> 01:55:11,640
Speaker 11: I think he is a limiting factor for that offense,

2285
01:55:11,680 --> 01:55:14,400
Speaker 11: which is very loaded they've spent I know, they've had

2286
01:55:14,440 --> 01:55:16,040
Speaker 11: a great run game last year, and a lot of

2287
01:55:16,080 --> 01:55:18,120
Speaker 11: people said, well, why woun't you throw the ball when

2288
01:55:18,200 --> 01:55:19,320
Speaker 11: you have this run game that you.

2289
01:55:19,320 --> 01:55:21,520
Speaker 12: Can lean on. Well, look at their roster construction.

2290
01:55:21,600 --> 01:55:23,200
Speaker 11: They spend a lot of money to be able to

2291
01:55:23,200 --> 01:55:26,040
Speaker 11: throw the football, investing in that offensive line, investing in

2292
01:55:26,080 --> 01:55:28,720
Speaker 11: that receiving court, investing in the quarterback position, and they

2293
01:55:28,760 --> 01:55:30,800
Speaker 11: just haven't been able to do it. And I think

2294
01:55:30,920 --> 01:55:33,440
Speaker 11: last year it was kind of a bad sign for

2295
01:55:33,480 --> 01:55:35,240
Speaker 11: what was going to happen this year if that run

2296
01:55:35,280 --> 01:55:37,720
Speaker 11: game slowed down at all and it wasn't a historic unit,

2297
01:55:37,760 --> 01:55:39,920
Speaker 11: and we've seen it struggle kind of, and I think

2298
01:55:40,800 --> 01:55:43,440
Speaker 11: partially that's a result of this past game that hasn't

2299
01:55:43,480 --> 01:55:44,320
Speaker 11: evolved at all.

2300
01:55:44,680 --> 01:55:47,320
Speaker 10: Yeah, so many people have said there's no way they

2301
01:55:47,320 --> 01:55:50,200
Speaker 10: can duplicate it from last season to this season in

2302
01:55:50,280 --> 01:55:52,280
Speaker 10: terms of the numbers they put up in the run game,

2303
01:55:52,320 --> 01:55:54,280
Speaker 10: and we just haven't seen it yet out of the

2304
01:55:54,320 --> 01:55:59,200
Speaker 10: Philadelphia Eagles. Steven, thanks so much for recapping Week six

2305
01:55:59,320 --> 01:56:02,280
Speaker 10: of the NFL and we hope you enjoy Monday night

2306
01:56:02,320 --> 01:56:03,920
Speaker 10: football double header coming at us.

2307
01:56:05,160 --> 01:56:06,920
Speaker 12: Can't wait. Thanks for having me, guys, thanks too.

2308
01:56:06,920 --> 01:56:08,920
Speaker 10: All Right, that was the NFL writer from The Ringer,

2309
01:56:08,960 --> 01:56:11,880
Speaker 10: Stephen Ruiz, joining us a co host of The Ringer

2310
01:56:12,000 --> 01:56:14,280
Speaker 10: NFL Show. We're going to take a break, but when

2311
01:56:14,320 --> 01:56:18,839
Speaker 10: we return, talking more about this Monday night football matchup

2312
01:56:18,880 --> 01:56:21,440
Speaker 10: against the Atlanta Falcons. Next on One Bill's Live were

2313
01:56:21,440 --> 01:56:40,960
Speaker 10: presented by Clyde Health on Buffalo Bills Radio. Well back

2314
01:56:41,000 --> 01:56:43,720
Speaker 10: into One Bills Live, Matti Glab alongside of Steve Tasker.

2315
01:56:43,760 --> 01:56:46,520
Speaker 10: We just had Stephen Reiz from The Ringer join us

2316
01:56:46,520 --> 01:56:50,040
Speaker 10: and recap all the games from Week six. Help us

2317
01:56:50,120 --> 01:56:54,040
Speaker 10: preview some Monday night football action the Bills and the

2318
01:56:54,080 --> 01:56:58,040
Speaker 10: Atlanta Falcons. Let's get back to the tweet sheet from Bruce.

2319
01:56:58,960 --> 01:57:02,360
Speaker 10: The defensive line needs to stop Bjeon Robinson and apply

2320
01:57:02,520 --> 01:57:06,080
Speaker 10: some consistent pressure on the quarterback. You know what, one

2321
01:57:06,120 --> 01:57:09,800
Speaker 10: thing that I think might help with this getting defensive

2322
01:57:09,840 --> 01:57:12,840
Speaker 10: tackle at Oliver back in the mix. The last time

2323
01:57:12,880 --> 01:57:16,560
Speaker 10: we heard from Sean McDermott on Saturday, McDermott said that

2324
01:57:16,680 --> 01:57:20,000
Speaker 10: at Oliver had a good week of practices. Oliver also

2325
01:57:20,120 --> 01:57:22,840
Speaker 10: spoke to media on Friday, saying that he's in a

2326
01:57:22,840 --> 01:57:25,640
Speaker 10: lot better place this week than he was last week,

2327
01:57:25,720 --> 01:57:28,400
Speaker 10: feeling like he's ready to go and wanted to give

2328
01:57:28,400 --> 01:57:30,880
Speaker 10: the ankle enough for us so he can make a

2329
01:57:31,040 --> 01:57:33,280
Speaker 10: long playoff push where his words.

2330
01:57:33,240 --> 01:57:36,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's We were all shocked when he had gotten

2331
01:57:36,760 --> 01:57:39,800
Speaker 4: stepped on in practice and he comes rolling in here

2332
01:57:39,840 --> 01:57:42,480
Speaker 4: on that Tuesday or whatever, Wednesday or Thursday, whatever was.

2333
01:57:42,560 --> 01:57:44,640
Speaker 4: He was on a scooter. Yeah, with his leg like

2334
01:57:44,680 --> 01:57:47,840
Speaker 4: in a boot. They wouldn't even let him put pure like.

2335
01:57:50,840 --> 01:57:53,360
Speaker 4: So it's been a month, so it's it's been a

2336
01:57:53,400 --> 01:57:57,520
Speaker 4: long road back and we'll see if he can, he

2337
01:57:57,520 --> 01:57:59,720
Speaker 4: can make a different Certainly they've missed his presence out there.

2338
01:58:00,040 --> 01:58:04,960
Speaker 4: Good player and better players make you play better. Joey

2339
01:58:05,040 --> 01:58:09,080
Speaker 4: Boso will play better, group will play better. And Ed's presence,

2340
01:58:09,120 --> 01:58:11,360
Speaker 4: I mean he's a he's a penetrator. He's going to

2341
01:58:11,440 --> 01:58:15,680
Speaker 4: cause problems for Penix if if he plays well. So, yeah,

2342
01:58:15,720 --> 01:58:17,600
Speaker 4: he could be a big difference maker. Everybody in the

2343
01:58:17,640 --> 01:58:19,920
Speaker 4: back end gets better if you got one of those guys.

2344
01:58:20,440 --> 01:58:22,680
Speaker 4: So if Ed can come back and make a splash

2345
01:58:22,720 --> 01:58:26,080
Speaker 4: game tonight, certainly that will help in the passing game.

2346
01:58:26,440 --> 01:58:28,760
Speaker 4: But it also they've got to stop find out. They've

2347
01:58:28,760 --> 01:58:32,040
Speaker 4: got to have an answer for Jean Robinson. It's really

2348
01:58:32,040 --> 01:58:34,880
Speaker 4: good back. And it's not just these good but there's

2349
01:58:34,880 --> 01:58:36,840
Speaker 4: a lot of great backs out there. But this is

2350
01:58:36,880 --> 01:58:39,720
Speaker 4: an offense that leans on the guy. They give him

2351
01:58:39,760 --> 01:58:42,040
Speaker 4: the ball and they give it to him on the

2352
01:58:42,040 --> 01:58:44,560
Speaker 4: perimeter their wide zone team. You got to get out there.

2353
01:58:44,600 --> 01:58:46,280
Speaker 4: You got to mind your gaps, and those gaps are

2354
01:58:46,280 --> 01:58:48,880
Speaker 4: widening as you get closer to the sideline, gives him

2355
01:58:48,880 --> 01:58:54,120
Speaker 4: more space. He's a tough back to run down, tackle,

2356
01:58:54,200 --> 01:58:57,160
Speaker 4: get on the ground him in whatever you want to

2357
01:58:57,200 --> 01:59:01,200
Speaker 4: call call it he's hard and the team gives him

2358
01:59:01,240 --> 01:59:04,280
Speaker 4: every opportunity. You've got to keep doing it because they

2359
01:59:04,320 --> 01:59:09,200
Speaker 4: don't shy away from it. It's a problem and Ed

2360
01:59:09,240 --> 01:59:11,240
Speaker 4: can help with that, but it's not going to be

2361
01:59:11,400 --> 01:59:13,680
Speaker 4: just Ed that's going to make the difference in against

2362
01:59:13,720 --> 01:59:15,160
Speaker 4: Beejon Robinson in their run game.

2363
01:59:15,440 --> 01:59:18,040
Speaker 10: Robinson is averaging the most scrimmage yards per game right

2364
01:59:18,080 --> 01:59:21,760
Speaker 10: now at one six. And when you think about facing

2365
01:59:21,880 --> 01:59:24,360
Speaker 10: a running back that has elite vision and can be

2366
01:59:24,440 --> 01:59:27,120
Speaker 10: used kind of all over the line of scrimmage. The

2367
01:59:27,200 --> 01:59:30,000
Speaker 10: number one thing our defensive line said this week was

2368
01:59:30,040 --> 01:59:32,800
Speaker 10: we have to stay in our gaps. So what is

2369
01:59:32,800 --> 01:59:34,920
Speaker 10: the hardest part about staying in your gap?

2370
01:59:34,960 --> 01:59:38,200
Speaker 4: Steve Well, yeah, because they got three hundred pounders trying

2371
01:59:38,240 --> 01:59:41,160
Speaker 4: to push you out of him. You know, basically, their

2372
01:59:41,200 --> 01:59:44,440
Speaker 4: offensive line is good at it. They run those schemes

2373
01:59:44,480 --> 01:59:47,040
Speaker 4: where they kind of all as one unit, take off

2374
01:59:47,040 --> 01:59:49,200
Speaker 4: to the sidelines as an offensive line, and move work

2375
01:59:49,280 --> 01:59:50,720
Speaker 4: up the field and they just work to the next

2376
01:59:50,800 --> 01:59:53,840
Speaker 4: level naturally as it happens, and it creates different depths

2377
01:59:53,880 --> 01:59:56,680
Speaker 4: for your defenders and the run gap, your run gap

2378
01:59:56,760 --> 01:59:58,200
Speaker 4: might be at the line. You've got to get to

2379
01:59:58,200 --> 02:00:00,000
Speaker 4: the line of scrimmage to get your gun run gap

2380
02:00:00,400 --> 02:00:02,960
Speaker 4: and their guys run out and to meet you further

2381
02:00:03,080 --> 02:00:05,480
Speaker 4: down up the field from the offensive line of scrimmage.

2382
02:00:05,560 --> 02:00:07,840
Speaker 4: They get up into that second level, get in your way,

2383
02:00:08,240 --> 02:00:09,880
Speaker 4: wall you off, and all of a sudden, you've got

2384
02:00:10,640 --> 02:00:13,040
Speaker 4: defenders at different And that's why you see guys like

2385
02:00:13,040 --> 02:00:16,600
Speaker 4: Bijon Robinson weaving their way through the traffic. You know,

2386
02:00:16,680 --> 02:00:19,880
Speaker 4: it's they're really good at it, and they they're really

2387
02:00:19,880 --> 02:00:21,640
Speaker 4: good at it because that's what their guys do best,

2388
02:00:21,640 --> 02:00:24,920
Speaker 4: and good coaching staffs Taylor their entire offense for that.

2389
02:00:24,960 --> 02:00:27,840
Speaker 4: We've seen it all over the league. That's you know,

2390
02:00:27,920 --> 02:00:31,920
Speaker 4: that's it's a problem. You got to see it coming

2391
02:00:32,000 --> 02:00:34,520
Speaker 4: and you got to sprint now. Dorian Williams being out there,

2392
02:00:34,560 --> 02:00:37,160
Speaker 4: he's he's athletic, He's gonna be good at that. That's

2393
02:00:37,160 --> 02:00:41,240
Speaker 4: what he's really good at. He's a downhill linebacker and

2394
02:00:41,360 --> 02:00:44,040
Speaker 4: loves to come up in the run game. That may

2395
02:00:44,080 --> 02:00:49,040
Speaker 4: be a plus for us, but you give up Matt

2396
02:00:49,040 --> 02:00:53,080
Speaker 4: Milano and his instincts as well. So we'll see, we'll see.

2397
02:00:53,920 --> 02:00:55,840
Speaker 10: I know I'm getting ahead of myself a little bit

2398
02:00:55,840 --> 02:00:58,920
Speaker 10: by saying this, but just in terms of the defensive

2399
02:00:58,920 --> 02:01:02,920
Speaker 10: line stop being playmakers regardless of the week it is.

2400
02:01:04,160 --> 02:01:06,480
Speaker 10: We have a bye week next week, and then after

2401
02:01:06,560 --> 02:01:10,360
Speaker 10: that you get Larry Ogan, Joby and Michael Hoyt back

2402
02:01:10,440 --> 02:01:14,680
Speaker 10: on this team and the defensive line can finally come together.

2403
02:01:14,880 --> 02:01:16,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, you finally get the guys you thought you were

2404
02:01:16,400 --> 02:01:20,840
Speaker 4: gonna have contributing, at least trying to contribute. That is

2405
02:01:20,880 --> 02:01:24,320
Speaker 4: going to be the overriding storyline for the entire bye week,

2406
02:01:24,560 --> 02:01:26,640
Speaker 4: those guys getting back in the building and on the

2407
02:01:26,640 --> 02:01:29,280
Speaker 4: field for the Bills and how that's going to change things.

2408
02:01:30,480 --> 02:01:32,400
Speaker 4: Two weeks more is going to be that much closer

2409
02:01:32,440 --> 02:01:34,440
Speaker 4: for Max Harriston to get out and start taking some

2410
02:01:34,480 --> 02:01:38,680
Speaker 4: reps and maybe get on get on his feet. Yeah,

2411
02:01:38,720 --> 02:01:42,920
Speaker 4: that's that's big. They got to get through this game

2412
02:01:42,960 --> 02:01:43,920
Speaker 4: though they really do.

2413
02:01:43,960 --> 02:01:44,880
Speaker 10: They can't overlook it.

2414
02:01:45,600 --> 02:01:46,960
Speaker 4: They got to win this game. Yep.

2415
02:01:47,120 --> 02:01:49,040
Speaker 10: You need to get right. You need to get right.

2416
02:01:49,120 --> 02:01:52,360
Speaker 10: Win after a tough loss to the Patriots in Week five.

2417
02:01:52,480 --> 02:01:57,040
Speaker 10: Joey his question or comment. Play four quarters and open

2418
02:01:57,280 --> 02:02:00,520
Speaker 10: the offense. Let Josh be Josh control the ball and

2419
02:02:00,600 --> 02:02:05,000
Speaker 10: dominate the time of possession. I like dominating, dominating the

2420
02:02:05,040 --> 02:02:08,400
Speaker 10: time of possession when you're going up against a playmaker

2421
02:02:08,520 --> 02:02:12,880
Speaker 10: like Bijon Robinson. You know, one of the one of

2422
02:02:12,920 --> 02:02:16,080
Speaker 10: the things you can do to limit his time handling

2423
02:02:16,120 --> 02:02:18,400
Speaker 10: the ball is stay on offense longer.

2424
02:02:18,480 --> 02:02:20,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, we talked about it, because this offense of the

2425
02:02:20,640 --> 02:02:23,400
Speaker 4: Bills is really efficient. They stay on the field. They're

2426
02:02:23,400 --> 02:02:26,120
Speaker 4: hard to get off, especially when they're clicking and taking

2427
02:02:26,160 --> 02:02:29,160
Speaker 4: what the defense gives them. Don't get impatient. They're just

2428
02:02:29,440 --> 02:02:31,560
Speaker 4: the run games working. It's really hard to get them

2429
02:02:31,560 --> 02:02:33,680
Speaker 4: off the field. So you feel like you can do that.

2430
02:02:34,280 --> 02:02:35,920
Speaker 4: But for me, and I said this earlier in the

2431
02:02:35,960 --> 02:02:40,320
Speaker 4: show when Brownie was on with us from his place

2432
02:02:40,400 --> 02:02:44,800
Speaker 4: down in Atlanta, the plan is always to go out

2433
02:02:44,840 --> 02:02:47,720
Speaker 4: and score. Score, score, score, score, score, just score to

2434
02:02:47,840 --> 02:02:49,760
Speaker 4: I don't care if it takes. If you have six

2435
02:02:49,880 --> 02:02:54,400
Speaker 4: two play drives, take them score because then in the

2436
02:02:54,440 --> 02:02:56,520
Speaker 4: second half you can turn around, hand it off. You

2437
02:02:56,560 --> 02:02:59,760
Speaker 4: can manage the game and the comment right the possessions

2438
02:02:59,800 --> 02:03:02,600
Speaker 4: and how it's gonna end up and doubling up at halftime.

2439
02:03:02,640 --> 02:03:04,880
Speaker 4: That's where it begins. And then in the second half

2440
02:03:04,880 --> 02:03:06,600
Speaker 4: you reassess and you say, okay, now it's time for

2441
02:03:06,680 --> 02:03:10,080
Speaker 4: us to you know, take the play clock down. Time

2442
02:03:10,120 --> 02:03:12,560
Speaker 4: for us to stay in bounds time all that stuff.

2443
02:03:13,920 --> 02:03:16,400
Speaker 4: Let's make them use their timeouts here kind of thing.

2444
02:03:18,040 --> 02:03:20,760
Speaker 4: But you don't go into the game, in my estimation,

2445
02:03:20,880 --> 02:03:22,600
Speaker 4: thinking that. You go into the game thing and we're

2446
02:03:22,600 --> 02:03:26,280
Speaker 4: gonna score, particularly with Josh at quarterback and James Cook

2447
02:03:26,320 --> 02:03:28,160
Speaker 4: and all these guys, We're gonna go out and we're

2448
02:03:28,160 --> 02:03:32,720
Speaker 4: gonna rip it loose and force them to keep up

2449
02:03:32,720 --> 02:03:35,120
Speaker 4: with us, and then put have them put the ball

2450
02:03:35,160 --> 02:03:37,840
Speaker 4: in at risk, you know, trying to keep up. I

2451
02:03:37,840 --> 02:03:40,200
Speaker 4: think that's the recipe. And then in the second half

2452
02:03:40,280 --> 02:03:43,120
Speaker 4: you can think about handing it the way they did

2453
02:03:43,120 --> 02:03:45,520
Speaker 4: it in the Jets game Week two when they're on

2454
02:03:45,560 --> 02:03:49,320
Speaker 4: the road. They jumped out, Jets were helping them scoring

2455
02:03:49,440 --> 02:03:53,040
Speaker 4: touchdowns and you're you're up significantly on the Jets, and

2456
02:03:53,080 --> 02:03:55,520
Speaker 4: because of that, you spend the entire second half with

2457
02:03:55,520 --> 02:03:58,960
Speaker 4: Mitch Drubisky on the field and you know, the game

2458
02:03:59,520 --> 02:04:03,640
Speaker 4: game turned into a snoozefest. So that's not the way

2459
02:04:03,640 --> 02:04:05,400
Speaker 4: you go into the game thinking to you know, maybe

2460
02:04:05,480 --> 02:04:07,360
Speaker 4: keep Jon Robinson off the field. No, you go in

2461
02:04:07,440 --> 02:04:10,280
Speaker 4: the game thinking we're scoring, we'll take what we can,

2462
02:04:10,360 --> 02:04:13,000
Speaker 4: just go right, and then later on get into the

2463
02:04:13,000 --> 02:04:13,680
Speaker 4: game management.

2464
02:04:14,320 --> 02:04:16,480
Speaker 10: Speaking of getting on the field and scoring. Do you

2465
02:04:16,480 --> 02:04:18,040
Speaker 10: think this is a game where the Bills can get

2466
02:04:18,080 --> 02:04:21,640
Speaker 10: back to scoring thirty points after scoring just twenty against

2467
02:04:21,680 --> 02:04:23,840
Speaker 10: the Patriots.

2468
02:04:25,400 --> 02:04:28,400
Speaker 4: Atlanta certainly has talented guys. They've got a really good

2469
02:04:28,440 --> 02:04:34,400
Speaker 4: pass rush, but Josh has always been very difficult to sack.

2470
02:04:36,320 --> 02:04:38,640
Speaker 4: Teams that come in to play Josh with the experience,

2471
02:04:38,680 --> 02:04:41,480
Speaker 4: like Jeff Olbrich has their defensive coordinators, and he was

2472
02:04:41,520 --> 02:04:43,160
Speaker 4: the head coach and the interim head coach of the

2473
02:04:43,200 --> 02:04:46,200
Speaker 4: Jets last year, so he's seen all this stuff from Josh.

2474
02:04:46,600 --> 02:04:51,240
Speaker 4: They'll have a plan on not letting Josh get out

2475
02:04:51,280 --> 02:04:55,400
Speaker 4: of the pocket, but they'll also know that they if

2476
02:04:55,400 --> 02:04:57,720
Speaker 4: they mess up and if their players don't understand it

2477
02:04:57,840 --> 02:05:00,040
Speaker 4: or don't get it or don't execute that plan, and

2478
02:05:00,400 --> 02:05:06,280
Speaker 4: Josh will make them pay. So I think that is

2479
02:05:06,280 --> 02:05:10,000
Speaker 4: where it begins. I mean that they're stepping up in

2480
02:05:10,080 --> 02:05:14,040
Speaker 4: quarterback play. They had Baker Mayfield week one, but then

2481
02:05:14,480 --> 02:05:20,160
Speaker 4: you know, then since week one, the schedule has been

2482
02:05:20,280 --> 02:05:23,600
Speaker 4: very kind to the Atlanta Falcons quarterback wise, because they

2483
02:05:23,600 --> 02:05:26,480
Speaker 4: got Baker in week one, and then they got JJ

2484
02:05:26,640 --> 02:05:32,360
Speaker 4: McCarthy and then Bryce Young and then Marcus Mariota for

2485
02:05:32,400 --> 02:05:37,440
Speaker 4: the commanders. So there isn't a Josh Allen among those calls,

2486
02:05:37,520 --> 02:05:42,560
Speaker 4: right they they have Jeff Olbrich is gonna have to

2487
02:05:42,720 --> 02:05:49,320
Speaker 4: let his players know how important it is to keep

2488
02:05:49,360 --> 02:05:51,400
Speaker 4: the quarterback where he's at in the pocket.

2489
02:05:51,880 --> 02:05:54,840
Speaker 10: Yeah. Well, speaking of that, I mean they blitz at

2490
02:05:54,840 --> 02:05:57,280
Speaker 10: the highest rate in the league right now, at forty

2491
02:05:57,320 --> 02:05:59,960
Speaker 10: seven point two percent. That's a big number. They get

2492
02:06:00,040 --> 02:06:02,560
Speaker 10: pressure at a top ten rate. I know Brownie spoke

2493
02:06:02,600 --> 02:06:05,600
Speaker 10: about this earlier. Josh Allen really good against the blitz.

2494
02:06:07,000 --> 02:06:09,760
Speaker 10: What do they do? Do they test it and see

2495
02:06:09,800 --> 02:06:12,480
Speaker 10: what happens and back away from it, or do they

2496
02:06:12,600 --> 02:06:16,520
Speaker 10: throw timely blitzes at him throughout the game. I'm interested

2497
02:06:16,560 --> 02:06:18,640
Speaker 10: to see the plan from that perspective.

2498
02:06:18,640 --> 02:06:23,240
Speaker 4: Well, yes, And it's hard to answer definitively because I

2499
02:06:23,520 --> 02:06:26,360
Speaker 4: don't know. But I want to know why they blitz.

2500
02:06:26,520 --> 02:06:27,960
Speaker 4: Is just because Jeff Ulbrick loves it?

2501
02:06:28,200 --> 02:06:28,440
Speaker 10: Yeah?

2502
02:06:28,600 --> 02:06:30,920
Speaker 4: Or is it just because it's because they can't get

2503
02:06:30,960 --> 02:06:34,280
Speaker 4: pressure otherwise? Is because they trust their back end to

2504
02:06:34,360 --> 02:06:38,880
Speaker 4: hold up in coverage or are they just trying to

2505
02:06:39,640 --> 02:06:42,480
Speaker 4: you know, they just not feel like they have a

2506
02:06:42,480 --> 02:06:46,280
Speaker 4: good pass rush. Any If any of those stuff those

2507
02:06:46,280 --> 02:06:48,880
Speaker 4: things are true, it changes what they will try against

2508
02:06:48,880 --> 02:06:52,440
Speaker 4: Buffalo because Josh, like I said, even when you've got

2509
02:06:52,480 --> 02:06:54,680
Speaker 4: a guy rushing clean, you can't get him on the

2510
02:06:54,720 --> 02:06:59,320
Speaker 4: ground and then you're stuck. Olbrick knows that. Now they've

2511
02:06:59,360 --> 02:07:02,120
Speaker 4: had jet defense. Is remember they had some pretty good

2512
02:07:02,320 --> 02:07:04,680
Speaker 4: games against the Bill. Now Josh won a lot of

2513
02:07:04,680 --> 02:07:08,960
Speaker 4: those games, but they've had some good success against Josh

2514
02:07:08,960 --> 02:07:12,080
Speaker 4: and holding them down under thirty points with the players

2515
02:07:12,080 --> 02:07:13,120
Speaker 4: they had in New York.

2516
02:07:13,240 --> 02:07:13,879
Speaker 10: That's true.

2517
02:07:14,920 --> 02:07:16,960
Speaker 4: That's what you're gonna see tonight. They're gonna try and

2518
02:07:17,000 --> 02:07:21,960
Speaker 4: do that. But the Bills have that jet film too,

2519
02:07:22,480 --> 02:07:23,120
Speaker 4: so we'll see.

2520
02:07:23,360 --> 02:07:26,560
Speaker 10: Yeah. And the Bills have a run game in a

2521
02:07:26,600 --> 02:07:31,560
Speaker 10: passing game. So even if they successfully take one one

2522
02:07:31,640 --> 02:07:32,760
Speaker 10: thing away.

2523
02:07:32,600 --> 02:07:34,080
Speaker 4: The Bills can beat you left handed.

2524
02:07:34,240 --> 02:07:37,120
Speaker 10: You can rely on whatever else that may be.

2525
02:07:37,200 --> 02:07:39,480
Speaker 4: The Bills can beat people left handed. That's why they're

2526
02:07:39,480 --> 02:07:42,800
Speaker 4: so good. They can beat you multiple waves. They can possession,

2527
02:07:42,840 --> 02:07:46,880
Speaker 4: passing game, the running game, the big play, a mobile quarterback.

2528
02:07:48,160 --> 02:07:51,080
Speaker 4: Your pass rush is negated because your quarterback is so elusive.

2529
02:07:52,320 --> 02:07:53,920
Speaker 4: They can hit you with a big play and they run.

2530
02:07:53,960 --> 02:07:56,680
Speaker 4: They got a home run hitter at running back. They

2531
02:07:56,680 --> 02:07:59,520
Speaker 4: can beat you so many ways, and you know the

2532
02:07:59,600 --> 02:08:01,320
Speaker 4: quarterback can throw it all over the field if you

2533
02:08:01,360 --> 02:08:04,920
Speaker 4: don't keep a lid on it. So it it'll be

2534
02:08:05,000 --> 02:08:08,360
Speaker 4: interesting to see what the Falcons try to do. I'll

2535
02:08:08,360 --> 02:08:11,160
Speaker 4: say this, Maddie and you talk about the evolution of Josh.

2536
02:08:11,400 --> 02:08:13,879
Speaker 4: I don't know that Josh was as good pre snap

2537
02:08:14,400 --> 02:08:16,560
Speaker 4: in the last couple of years when Ulbrich was with

2538
02:08:16,640 --> 02:08:19,640
Speaker 4: the Jets as he is now. So if they try

2539
02:08:19,640 --> 02:08:21,240
Speaker 4: and disguise or if they're trying to do things and

2540
02:08:21,640 --> 02:08:24,600
Speaker 4: Josh deciphers what they're doing pre snap, that may be

2541
02:08:25,080 --> 02:08:28,240
Speaker 4: something they haven't been prepared for. His ability to know

2542
02:08:28,280 --> 02:08:33,120
Speaker 4: what they're in before the snap intriguing, we'll see.

2543
02:08:33,120 --> 02:08:35,960
Speaker 10: And then the defense and the Falcons is going back

2544
02:08:36,000 --> 02:08:39,280
Speaker 10: to the field after Buffalo scores on offense and they're saying,

2545
02:08:39,920 --> 02:08:41,680
Speaker 10: he knows what we're doing.

2546
02:08:41,560 --> 02:08:42,600
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, we need to.

2547
02:08:42,640 --> 02:08:43,120
Speaker 10: Change it up.

2548
02:08:43,240 --> 02:08:45,440
Speaker 4: And also yeah, then their offense has to take the

2549
02:08:45,440 --> 02:08:47,320
Speaker 4: field and say we got to answer, yeah, you know,

2550
02:08:47,320 --> 02:08:49,640
Speaker 4: we've got to do this and that. You know, now

2551
02:08:49,960 --> 02:08:52,760
Speaker 4: you're asking Michael Pennick's second year guy to drop back

2552
02:08:52,760 --> 02:08:56,920
Speaker 4: and throw it forty times. That may that may not

2553
02:08:56,960 --> 02:08:59,600
Speaker 4: be their recipe for success because Bijon Robinson will get

2554
02:08:59,640 --> 02:09:01,320
Speaker 4: the bo getting the ball handed to him, they'll be

2555
02:09:01,440 --> 02:09:02,440
Speaker 4: forced to throw it to him.

2556
02:09:02,520 --> 02:09:06,440
Speaker 10: Sean McDermott is known for being good against younger quarterbacks too.

2557
02:09:06,600 --> 02:09:08,680
Speaker 10: Who do you want to see come alive on offense

2558
02:09:09,080 --> 02:09:12,160
Speaker 10: in this game? James Cook aside, because Cook is going

2559
02:09:12,200 --> 02:09:12,840
Speaker 10: to get his cookies.

2560
02:09:14,120 --> 02:09:15,480
Speaker 4: I would say Khalil Shakir.

2561
02:09:15,880 --> 02:09:16,280
Speaker 10: I like that.

2562
02:09:17,280 --> 02:09:19,560
Speaker 4: His ability to run after he catches it is great.

2563
02:09:19,600 --> 02:09:21,760
Speaker 4: I think that could turn a small, an easy completion

2564
02:09:21,840 --> 02:09:24,880
Speaker 4: into an enormous play, which is the best of both worlds. Right,

2565
02:09:25,160 --> 02:09:26,960
Speaker 4: you don't put the ball at that much risk in

2566
02:09:27,000 --> 02:09:30,320
Speaker 4: that passing play. You know, he's got fantastic hands, his

2567
02:09:30,400 --> 02:09:33,240
Speaker 4: catch rate is awesome, and then his turn it into

2568
02:09:33,280 --> 02:09:37,839
Speaker 4: a big play because then the defense can do everything

2569
02:09:37,920 --> 02:09:40,840
Speaker 4: right and still give up the big one and that's

2570
02:09:40,840 --> 02:09:43,960
Speaker 4: a crusher for them. Yeah, that would be my guess.

2571
02:09:44,120 --> 02:09:45,280
Speaker 4: It would be Khalil Shakir.

2572
02:09:45,360 --> 02:09:48,000
Speaker 10: Yeah, Shakier leads the NFL and catch rate since twenty

2573
02:09:48,080 --> 02:09:50,480
Speaker 10: twenty three. It would definitely be good to see him

2574
02:09:51,040 --> 02:09:54,200
Speaker 10: get going a little bit in there and just rotate through.

2575
02:09:54,360 --> 02:09:57,080
Speaker 10: You know, it's like week six. Start start getting guys

2576
02:09:57,120 --> 02:10:00,640
Speaker 10: the balls who haven't gotten a lot, and then continue

2577
02:10:00,680 --> 02:10:03,440
Speaker 10: to throw off defenses in terms of what they have

2578
02:10:03,520 --> 02:10:06,680
Speaker 10: to prepare for. What's the game plan for Curtis Samuel

2579
02:10:06,760 --> 02:10:10,560
Speaker 10: if he is good to go right now? Questionable, but

2580
02:10:10,600 --> 02:10:12,960
Speaker 10: we'll see soon enough in a few hours if Samuel

2581
02:10:13,040 --> 02:10:15,440
Speaker 10: will be a part of the game plan tonight. We're

2582
02:10:15,440 --> 02:10:17,760
Speaker 10: going to take a break, but when we return, we're

2583
02:10:17,760 --> 02:10:20,400
Speaker 10: closing things up here on One Bill's Live, presented by

2584
02:10:20,400 --> 02:10:41,320
Speaker 10: Clidahealth on Buffalo Bills Radio. Well back into One Bill's

2585
02:10:41,520 --> 02:10:44,000
Speaker 10: I don't know if you saw this this weekend, but

2586
02:10:44,120 --> 02:10:47,240
Speaker 10: something cool that happened not in Buffalo, but ties to

2587
02:10:47,280 --> 02:10:51,800
Speaker 10: Buffalo in California, Firebaugh High School, where Josh Allen went

2588
02:10:51,840 --> 02:10:56,240
Speaker 10: to school, they named their football field after Josh Allen

2589
02:10:56,440 --> 02:11:02,080
Speaker 10: Josh Allen Fields nice for him. Yeah, really cool and

2590
02:11:02,120 --> 02:11:07,000
Speaker 10: hopefully Alan produces tonight against the Atlanta Falcons. It's a

2591
02:11:07,040 --> 02:11:10,040
Speaker 10: game like this where, yes, the Falcons do have a

2592
02:11:10,040 --> 02:11:12,040
Speaker 10: lot of talent on both sides of the football, but

2593
02:11:12,640 --> 02:11:16,960
Speaker 10: after facing a loss, you really want this team to

2594
02:11:17,000 --> 02:11:19,000
Speaker 10: have a get right game and go into the bye

2595
02:11:19,000 --> 02:11:21,520
Speaker 10: week riding a little bit of a high.

2596
02:11:21,640 --> 02:11:24,440
Speaker 4: If the Bills go out and score like forty to

2597
02:11:24,480 --> 02:11:28,160
Speaker 4: fifty points on these guys and win double digits. Even

2598
02:11:28,160 --> 02:11:31,480
Speaker 4: if they give up twenty eight or thirty and score

2599
02:11:31,560 --> 02:11:36,720
Speaker 4: forty two. The whole conversation going into the bye week

2600
02:11:36,760 --> 02:11:39,200
Speaker 4: is going to be dominated by Michael Hoyt and Larry

2601
02:11:39,280 --> 02:11:41,360
Speaker 4: ogin job getting healthy and the rest of the guys

2602
02:11:41,360 --> 02:11:42,480
Speaker 4: that are going to you know, they have a bye

2603
02:11:42,520 --> 02:11:45,120
Speaker 4: week to get healthier and they're going to people are

2604
02:11:45,120 --> 02:11:47,200
Speaker 4: going to be looking for them to shift gears when

2605
02:11:47,200 --> 02:11:50,800
Speaker 4: they hit Carolina in two weeks, So that's going to

2606
02:11:50,840 --> 02:11:54,080
Speaker 4: put That's what you can look for out of this game.

2607
02:11:57,200 --> 02:12:02,760
Speaker 4: I think that loss to the Patriots kind of put

2608
02:12:02,800 --> 02:12:07,720
Speaker 4: their teeth on edge. So I'm for I look for

2609
02:12:07,760 --> 02:12:10,160
Speaker 4: an offensive output, and I think I think they're going

2610
02:12:10,240 --> 02:12:12,680
Speaker 4: to flex a little bit tonight. I think I really do. Yeah,

2611
02:12:12,880 --> 02:12:14,920
Speaker 4: you think they're really going to be a load tonight.

2612
02:12:15,560 --> 02:12:20,320
Speaker 10: You hope that fire, you hope whatever ignited you from

2613
02:12:20,320 --> 02:12:23,920
Speaker 10: the lost is still there, because you know, playing on

2614
02:12:24,000 --> 02:12:27,840
Speaker 10: Monday night football, it's a long week. Your schedule is

2615
02:12:27,880 --> 02:12:32,040
Speaker 10: a little bit different, so it's easy to have that

2616
02:12:32,120 --> 02:12:34,200
Speaker 10: flame kind of die down a little bit, and you

2617
02:12:34,280 --> 02:12:38,040
Speaker 10: hope it's still there for Monday night football so that

2618
02:12:38,080 --> 02:12:42,240
Speaker 10: they can correct what needs to be corrected and feel

2619
02:12:42,240 --> 02:12:44,720
Speaker 10: good about where they're at week seven. You're through a

2620
02:12:44,760 --> 02:12:47,240
Speaker 10: third of the season. At this point, you know who

2621
02:12:47,280 --> 02:12:50,120
Speaker 10: you are. Bills don't exactly know who they are yet

2622
02:12:50,160 --> 02:12:53,720
Speaker 10: because you're you're still missing pieces on defense, and like

2623
02:12:53,760 --> 02:12:56,640
Speaker 10: you said, hopefully those missing pieces come back soon enough,

2624
02:12:56,680 --> 02:12:58,560
Speaker 10: including some of the guys who are on IR We're

2625
02:12:58,600 --> 02:13:02,080
Speaker 10: still waiting for rookie corner back Maxwell Harriston to be

2626
02:13:02,120 --> 02:13:04,880
Speaker 10: added to the mix. You know, last couple of weeks

2627
02:13:04,880 --> 02:13:07,120
Speaker 10: we've heard from head coach Sean McDermott and that they're

2628
02:13:07,120 --> 02:13:10,600
Speaker 10: not opening any practice windows for any of these guys.

2629
02:13:10,640 --> 02:13:13,720
Speaker 10: And and you wonder, okay, get through the bye, is

2630
02:13:13,720 --> 02:13:15,800
Speaker 10: that coming in? Is that Panthers week?

2631
02:13:16,000 --> 02:13:18,920
Speaker 4: When when looking at this week and like you said,

2632
02:13:18,960 --> 02:13:20,760
Speaker 4: they're going to be through six games of the season

2633
02:13:20,960 --> 02:13:23,520
Speaker 4: after tonight, and you look back and I thought, I

2634
02:13:24,120 --> 02:13:27,280
Speaker 4: remember vividly, I think, and they could just get four

2635
02:13:27,320 --> 02:13:28,840
Speaker 4: and two out of this first six.

2636
02:13:29,560 --> 02:13:31,000
Speaker 10: You know, you're in a good place.

2637
02:13:31,040 --> 02:13:36,480
Speaker 4: It's a good spot, right Yeah, So yeah, I'm I'm

2638
02:13:36,560 --> 02:13:40,240
Speaker 4: right with you that they're in the perfect spot right

2639
02:13:40,280 --> 02:13:45,200
Speaker 4: now where they want to be. The game they lost,

2640
02:13:45,440 --> 02:13:47,440
Speaker 4: they lost, they didn't feel like they shouldn't feel like

2641
02:13:47,480 --> 02:13:50,280
Speaker 4: they got beat. They fumbled the ball and intercepted the

2642
02:13:50,280 --> 02:13:50,760
Speaker 4: ball away.

2643
02:13:51,480 --> 02:13:53,800
Speaker 10: It rarely happens when you see three turnovers.

2644
02:13:54,760 --> 02:13:58,000
Speaker 4: You never see that, not anymore anyway. Yeah, so they've

2645
02:13:58,000 --> 02:14:00,200
Speaker 4: got to feel like this is their game. Where going

2646
02:14:00,280 --> 02:14:02,640
Speaker 4: to say, listen, this is who we are watch out.

2647
02:14:02,720 --> 02:14:06,760
Speaker 4: So I'm I'm thinking this might be an offensive output game.

2648
02:14:07,400 --> 02:14:11,760
Speaker 10: Fingers crossed at Oliver continued to progress in the right

2649
02:14:11,800 --> 02:14:15,840
Speaker 10: direction the rest of Saturday and yesterday, and we get

2650
02:14:15,880 --> 02:14:18,640
Speaker 10: to see him back on the field for week six

2651
02:14:18,680 --> 02:14:21,000
Speaker 10: because it'll be fun to see him back in the folds.

2652

Speaker 4: Well, we're going to be uh we're here tonight postgame live.
