Let's go. 13 00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:18,200 Speaker 2: And I finally got a chance to watch some of 14 00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:20,479 Speaker 2: that Saints game against Seattle last week. 15 00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:22,120 Speaker 4: Tell me about their special teams. 16 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:28,039 Speaker 2: Yeah, cover your eyes, everybody. Yeah, I can't, but I can't. 17 00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:31,119 Speaker 2: I can't believe it's gonna be that bad again. 18 00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:31,839 Speaker 4: It won't. 19 00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:34,240 Speaker 2: They flew out to Seattle and it looks like they 20 00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:35,360 Speaker 2: never got off the plane. 21 00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:38,600 Speaker 4: It was bad. It is really gave up a ninety 22 00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:42,119 Speaker 4: six yard touchdown return on a kickoff on a punt return. 23 00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:44,839 Speaker 4: On a punt return, guy catches it on his four 24 00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:49,280 Speaker 4: and turns it into a touchdown. Then later on in 25 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:52,240 Speaker 4: the same quarter. First this is all first first quarter 26 00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:58,040 Speaker 4: on guy comes untouched and blocks the punt with his chest. 27 00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:00,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, not like his fingertips right chest. 28 00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:02,920 Speaker 4: The only reason it didn't turn into a touchdown is 29 00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:05,000 Speaker 4: because the guy who tried to scoop it panicked and 30 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:05,560 Speaker 4: tried to do it. 31 00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:06,560 Speaker 3: I couldn't take it out. 32 00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:08,959 Speaker 4: He was all by himself and biffed it, so he 33 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:10,720 Speaker 4: had to fall on it. So that turns into a 34 00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:14,799 Speaker 4: touchdown one or two plays later. And then later on 35 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,959 Speaker 4: sixty yards a sixty kickoff return out following a field 36 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:23,320 Speaker 4: goal that the Saints managed to get sixty yards all 37 00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:26,320 Speaker 4: the way down inside the opponent, you know, inside the 38 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:27,480 Speaker 4: forty yard line. 39 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:29,120 Speaker 3: Who doggy it was? 40 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:31,400 Speaker 4: Yeah, we said it again yesterday. I can't get over 41 00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:36,040 Speaker 4: that stat. They were down twenty one to nothing and 42 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:39,639 Speaker 4: they had run eight offensive place Seattle. Seattle was up 43 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:43,880 Speaker 4: twenty one nothing and they had run eight offensive place. 44 00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:45,400 Speaker 2: And it didn't get any better in the second quarter 45 00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:47,239 Speaker 2: because it was thirty eight to six at halftime. 46 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:48,200 Speaker 4: It was horrible. 47 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:51,240 Speaker 2: Thirty eight to six. Yeah, that game was over after 48 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:52,320 Speaker 2: one quarter, yeh. 49 00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:57,880 Speaker 4: Although we did have another double digit two touchdown comeback 50 00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:01,000 Speaker 4: by a team last night. Yeah, on Thursday night. 51 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:02,760 Speaker 3: We will get into that in just a second. 52 00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:04,560 Speaker 4: Well, we'll talk about that later, but that was it 53 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 4: was eerily reminiscent almost of the Bills comeback win over 54 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:10,959 Speaker 4: the Ravens in Week one. 55 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:13,440 Speaker 2: We'll get to that in just a second, because first 56 00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:16,920 Speaker 2: and foremost, we have to get to Bills practice updates, 57 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:20,920 Speaker 2: which are presented by Leeka your lake Erie College of 58 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:26,359 Speaker 2: Osteopathic Medicine, and head coach Sean McDermott in his press 59 00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:31,320 Speaker 2: conference this morning basically said ed Oliver Matt Mulana will 60 00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:34,280 Speaker 2: be both out for Sunday's game against the Saints. 61 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:36,320 Speaker 3: No real reason to rush them back. 62 00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:40,080 Speaker 2: This is a team that I think most believe the 63 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:44,520 Speaker 2: Bills are superior to, So no need to rush guys 64 00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:48,680 Speaker 2: with ankle and peck injuries back prematurely. Let them continue 65 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,839 Speaker 2: to rest up and hope for the best next week 66 00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:54,320 Speaker 2: when you have your third division game of the season 67 00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:59,560 Speaker 2: against the Patriots. Spencer Brown and aj Epanessa we're both 68 00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:03,760 Speaker 2: limited in practice today. Spencer Brown dealing with the calf injury. 69 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:08,080 Speaker 2: Ajpinessa also with a peck injury like Milano. They're both 70 00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:12,440 Speaker 2: going to be listed as questionable for Sunday's game against 71 00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:19,280 Speaker 2: the Saints. That's not great, yeah, Ryan Vandermark. Presumably if 72 00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:23,840 Speaker 2: Ajepanessa is down on Sunday, Landon Jackson, Bill's third round 73 00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:27,320 Speaker 2: draft choice will get his first NFL action on Sunday. 74 00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:29,880 Speaker 2: He would be the guy coming up, and Panessa would 75 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:33,960 Speaker 2: obviously sit down if he can't recover in time to 76 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:37,800 Speaker 2: play on Sunday. So that's kind of the four to 77 00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:40,880 Speaker 2: one one on the Bill's injury report, and we'll wait 78 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,040 Speaker 2: for the official Friday injury report to come out to 79 00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:46,120 Speaker 2: confirm everything and see if there are any other notable 80 00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:46,960 Speaker 2: items to come. 81 00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 3: Out of that. 82 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:51,400 Speaker 2: In the meantime, we go around the NFL, which is 83 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,600 Speaker 2: presented by Kalida Health, the official healthcare system of the 84 00:04:54,640 --> 00:05:01,440 Speaker 2: Buffalo Bills and the Seahawks. Steve, as you mentioned, Sorry, Yeah, 85 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,200 Speaker 2: the Seahawks. We're comfortably ahead for a while last night 86 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:06,920 Speaker 2: on Thursday Night Football in their matchup with the Cardinals 87 00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:10,600 Speaker 2: in Arizona, until they weren't. They were up twenty to 88 00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:14,719 Speaker 2: six with nine and a half minutes remaining, and Arizona 89 00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:18,039 Speaker 2: stage is a comeback, tying it up at twenty with 90 00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:23,040 Speaker 2: twenty eight seconds left in regulation, but Sam darnold. You 91 00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:25,760 Speaker 2: got the Seattle offense to within field goal range, and 92 00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:31,039 Speaker 2: Josh Myers was true from fifty two yards out at 93 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:34,719 Speaker 2: the gun for a twenty three to twenty victory for 94 00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 2: the Seahawks. 95 00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:38,200 Speaker 4: The reminder of this and this is a special team's 96 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:41,279 Speaker 4: day here, I guess, because what happened last night. Twenty 97 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:44,120 Speaker 4: eight seconds left. You think, okay, kick it off, get 98 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:45,960 Speaker 4: them down there, tack them in. They're thirty. You got 99 00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:49,040 Speaker 4: twenty eight seconds, they had one time out left. You 100 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:50,960 Speaker 4: should be able to get to overtime, at least if 101 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:55,400 Speaker 4: you're the Arizona Cardinals. They kick off and the ball 102 00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:57,600 Speaker 4: land short of the landing zone, so they get it 103 00:05:57,640 --> 00:05:59,800 Speaker 4: at the forty. Seattle gets it at the forty. They 104 00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:03,039 Speaker 4: need a first down and a half, which they get. 105 00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:05,920 Speaker 3: They lost the game on the kickoff, Yes, the game 106 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:07,000 Speaker 3: on Yeah. 107 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:08,720 Speaker 4: And then the guy comes in kicks a fifty two 108 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:11,400 Speaker 4: yarder which he had missed one earlier, which would have 109 00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:13,000 Speaker 4: you know, which would have put the game away as well. 110 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:16,720 Speaker 4: But he hit it last play of the game. Boom, 111 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:17,680 Speaker 4: you lose back. 112 00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:21,120 Speaker 2: How about Seattle with special teams the last two weeks, 113 00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:25,760 Speaker 2: they're begetting gifts, Yeah, gifts yeah, you know the special 114 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:26,560 Speaker 2: teams coaches. 115 00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:28,119 Speaker 4: Not all gifts go ahead. 116 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:30,040 Speaker 3: You know the special teams coaches for the Seahawks. 117 00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:37,160 Speaker 4: No, Jay Harbaugh. There you go one another Horrba. It 118 00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:40,240 Speaker 4: wasn't so much a gift as it was on all 119 00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:42,599 Speaker 4: of them as it was pretty good play. And which 120 00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:45,480 Speaker 4: is something I've been harping on for like a decade now. 121 00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:49,159 Speaker 4: Before they changed this kickoff rule back this year to 122 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,600 Speaker 4: where the thirty five and you had to start putting 123 00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:53,560 Speaker 4: the ball in play as a kickoff, you had somebody 124 00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,120 Speaker 4: had to mess up more royally before you got an 125 00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 4: advantage on special teams. Now kickoff returns are a thing again. 126 00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:02,440 Speaker 4: You can get good play out of that. You've still 127 00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:07,159 Speaker 4: got guys messing up on protection, which is what happened 128 00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:09,680 Speaker 4: on the block punt and they left a guy completely unblocked. 129 00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,120 Speaker 4: He walks through there and be talking about Seahawks, Seahawks 130 00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:15,680 Speaker 4: Saints now and you know then last night they got 131 00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:19,360 Speaker 4: you got to kick it. That's a huge mistake. So 132 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:22,960 Speaker 4: it's it is a gift, but there is more room 133 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,280 Speaker 4: now for guys to make a great play than there 134 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:26,320 Speaker 4: has been in years past. 135 00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,080 Speaker 2: And there were I saw people on social media last 136 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,520 Speaker 2: night saying, ah, not putting it in the landing zone 137 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 2: is too punitive. Given it to him at the forty. 138 00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:35,960 Speaker 2: It's no different than them kicking it over the sideline. 139 00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:40,240 Speaker 2: All you've done is put another line in the box. Yeah, 140 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:44,160 Speaker 2: you couldn't kick it over the sideline on a kickoff 141 00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:45,320 Speaker 2: or it comes out to the forty. 142 00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:47,440 Speaker 3: Now you got to kick it past the twenty yard line. 143 00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:48,520 Speaker 3: That's not a big ass. 144 00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:50,600 Speaker 4: It's not a big ass. It's a long kick, and 145 00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:52,000 Speaker 4: it's a good thing they didn't put it like at 146 00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:55,440 Speaker 4: the thirty because you'd never get a kick airborne. They 147 00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:58,280 Speaker 4: would be line driving those down there. We've seen a 148 00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:01,760 Speaker 4: couple of teams really struggle yielding a bouncing ball back there, 149 00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 4: because take it from a guy who used to do it. 150 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:06,160 Speaker 4: If that ball hits the ground and you're trying to 151 00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:08,080 Speaker 4: look at the ball and look up where the coverage 152 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,840 Speaker 4: is and find the ball and look because those guys 153 00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:13,520 Speaker 4: are blowing snot bubbles down they're trying to come and 154 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:17,560 Speaker 4: get you. It's it's pretty chaotic, and it's the urgency 155 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:19,960 Speaker 4: is off the charts in your own mind. So you're 156 00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:22,080 Speaker 4: down there trying to you're trying to find the ball 157 00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:27,120 Speaker 4: while not looking at it on the ground, and it's chaos. 158 00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:29,680 Speaker 4: And that's what has happened to a number of teams 159 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:32,320 Speaker 4: where the kicker has hit a good kick, landed it 160 00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:35,600 Speaker 4: just inside the landing zone and the oblong ball is 161 00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:39,920 Speaker 4: bouncing sideways, back and forth and you can't find it. 162 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:43,760 Speaker 4: It's chaos, and it's really turned into a weapon for 163 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:45,600 Speaker 4: some teams who have a kicker who can do it. 164 00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:49,360 Speaker 4: Last night, the Cardinals wanted to try that and it 165 00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:53,480 Speaker 4: backfired and they lost the game as a result. So 166 00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:58,480 Speaker 4: I'm loving the special teams years that's out there now. 167 00:08:58,360 --> 00:08:59,600 Speaker 3: Because it's more relevant. 168 00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:01,800 Speaker 4: Part of the is much more relevant, and teams that 169 00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:04,120 Speaker 4: don't have good special teams now are paying a price 170 00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:04,440 Speaker 4: for it. 171 00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:07,960 Speaker 3: Saints included Saints. 172 00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:09,440 Speaker 4: At the top of the list this week. 173 00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:13,840 Speaker 2: This week's home game against the Saints presented by Kalida Health, 174 00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:17,760 Speaker 2: the official healthcare system of the Buffalo Bills. Some other 175 00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:21,720 Speaker 2: news and notes around the NFL. Baltimore Ravens defensive coordinator 176 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:24,719 Speaker 2: Zach Orr has come under fire for what is now 177 00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:28,560 Speaker 2: the thirty second ranked defense in football. Pro Bowl safety 178 00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:33,360 Speaker 2: Kyle Hamilton defended Ravens defensive coordinator Zach Orr yesterday saying 179 00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:37,240 Speaker 2: the sky's not falling three games into the season. He said, quote, 180 00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:39,240 Speaker 2: it's unfair to put all the blame on him when 181 00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:41,040 Speaker 2: there's eleven guys out there on the field that are 182 00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:43,280 Speaker 2: playing their hearts out and he's put us in the 183 00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:45,120 Speaker 2: right position. It's just a matter of us doing the 184 00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:47,040 Speaker 2: right stuff. And that's where I feel like the critiques 185 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:50,080 Speaker 2: of Zach or whatever coaches are unfair because he can't 186 00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:51,640 Speaker 2: go out there and play for us as much as 187 00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:53,200 Speaker 2: he wants to. We can't, so it's up to us 188 00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:55,120 Speaker 2: to go out there and get the job done. It's 189 00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:56,040 Speaker 2: not a Zach thing. 190 00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:59,800 Speaker 4: I would agree with Hamilton. When they played the Bills, 191 00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:03,559 Speaker 4: who have an outstanding offense, and they played the Browns, 192 00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:06,760 Speaker 4: they held them to seventeen points. Then they lost to 193 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:10,600 Speaker 4: the Lions, who also have an elite offense. They're gonna 194 00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:13,079 Speaker 4: give up some points this week too. Good playing the Chiefs, 195 00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:15,959 Speaker 4: I mean, the the Ravens have a little bit of 196 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:17,840 Speaker 4: a gauntlet here in the first month of the season, 197 00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:21,120 Speaker 4: and you know they're gonna give up some points. That's 198 00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:24,480 Speaker 4: just the way it's gonna be. Houston Texans after that, 199 00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:27,600 Speaker 4: and then the ramp I mean every other week. They're 200 00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:31,120 Speaker 4: playing an elite offense. Their defense isn't gonna play, isn't 201 00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:33,440 Speaker 4: gonna hold those teams off the board. It's just not 202 00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:38,120 Speaker 4: gonna happen. So, yes, I agree with Hambleton. The guy's 203 00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:39,400 Speaker 4: not falling in Baltimore. 204 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,400 Speaker 3: And without for another couple of weeks. 205 00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:44,240 Speaker 4: That's true. Injuries are always a part of it, but 206 00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:49,280 Speaker 4: it's they've been up against it against these offenses with 207 00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:51,800 Speaker 4: the Bills, the Lions, and now the Chiefs this week 208 00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:56,000 Speaker 4: and in two weeks they're gonna have the l a Rams. Yeah, 209 00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:58,400 Speaker 4: the Ravens defense is gonna be up against it a 210 00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:00,160 Speaker 4: little bit. Even if they're a number trying to be 211 00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:02,079 Speaker 4: the number one defense, they're not gonna play like it 212 00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:03,200 Speaker 4: against those three offenses. 213 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:04,480 Speaker 3: It'll be hard getting back there. 214 00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:06,320 Speaker 2: Now, let me just say it the way you always 215 00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:09,000 Speaker 2: like to hear. Less of Swist's gonna be Yeah. 216 00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:13,440 Speaker 3: Meanwhile, tenver Broncos coach Sean Payton was busy defending quarterback 217 00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:14,559 Speaker 3: Bo Nix's. 218 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:18,400 Speaker 2: Mechanics with the promise that big plays will come. Peyton 219 00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:21,479 Speaker 2: said the offense's biggest problem that hasn't found its identity 220 00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:25,320 Speaker 2: and that it's been affecting Nicks as well. Broncos have 221 00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:28,440 Speaker 2: lost back to back games on the last play to 222 00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:32,319 Speaker 2: Indianapolis and then the Chargers. Knicks's play has been scrutinized 223 00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:35,079 Speaker 2: because of the offense's struggles. He's twenty fifth in the 224 00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:38,360 Speaker 2: league in QBR and according to Next Gen Stats, his 225 00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:42,120 Speaker 2: tight window completion percentage is sixteenth in the league at 226 00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:45,480 Speaker 2: thirty seven and a half percent, tied with recently benched 227 00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:50,120 Speaker 2: Giants QB Russell Wilson. Broncos played the Bengals in Cincinnati 228 00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:54,959 Speaker 2: on Monday Night Football. That's Jake Browning and the Cincinnati Bengals. Yeah, 229 00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:56,400 Speaker 2: I have not Joe Burrow, and. 230 00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:58,839 Speaker 4: I have a faith that it's it's gonna get better 231 00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:01,240 Speaker 4: for the Broncos this season. I mean, he's gonna play better, 232 00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:03,600 Speaker 4: They're gonna play better around him. And I get a 233 00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:06,079 Speaker 4: lot of what Sean Payton is saying. I think that's 234 00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:08,480 Speaker 4: a Sean Payton statement more than a bow Knicks statement. 235 00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:11,080 Speaker 4: So they don't have an identity yet. John Payton doesn't 236 00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:12,840 Speaker 4: know what he wants to do really well with this 237 00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:15,400 Speaker 4: offense yet. I don't think they've proven it to him, 238 00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:17,800 Speaker 4: So I think that's where they're at. I'm i have. 239 00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:20,439 Speaker 4: Sean Payton's too good a coach for them not to 240 00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:22,360 Speaker 4: get better and better as a season roles, even if 241 00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:23,280 Speaker 4: they start out rocky. 242 00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:28,720 Speaker 2: Baker Mayfield looks like he's trending toward starting on Sunday. 243 00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:31,240 Speaker 2: He's been dealing with a biceps injury, but was seen 244 00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:35,280 Speaker 2: throwing at Friday's practice. He's been limited in practice throughout 245 00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:38,559 Speaker 2: the week. Bucks are home against the Eagles this weekend. 246 00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:42,040 Speaker 2: Bucks head coach Todd Bowle said Baker Mayfield, Tristan Wurf's, 247 00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:46,240 Speaker 2: their left tackle, and Chris Godwin are all questionable for Sunday, 248 00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:49,800 Speaker 2: but trending the right way. Mayfield is expected to be 249 00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:52,600 Speaker 2: the most likely of those three to suit up and 250 00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:56,360 Speaker 2: start on Sunday because Werf's and Godwin are trying to 251 00:12:56,520 --> 00:13:00,240 Speaker 2: work their way back from off season surgeries and they 252 00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:03,160 Speaker 2: just re entered the practice fray this. 253 00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:05,160 Speaker 3: Week, so that's a wait and see. 254 00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:08,160 Speaker 2: Looking more and more like the Commanders will be without 255 00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:11,280 Speaker 2: quarterback Jaden Daniels the second straight week. Daniels wasn't spotted 256 00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:14,440 Speaker 2: during the media viewing portion of practice today. He was 257 00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:18,400 Speaker 2: limited in practice Wednesday and Thursday. Commanders play the Falcons 258 00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:21,960 Speaker 2: this weekend. If Daniels can't go. It'll be Marcus Mariota 259 00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:25,800 Speaker 2: starting again. Mariota a guy that started for the Falcons 260 00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:29,360 Speaker 2: just a couple of years ago. Yep, So that will 261 00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:32,760 Speaker 2: make that game a bit more interesting. And who the 262 00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:35,520 Speaker 2: hell knows who's starting for the Falcons a quarterback these days, 263 00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:40,440 Speaker 2: because we saw Pennix get bench in favor. 264 00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:41,600 Speaker 3: Of Kirk Cousins last week. 265 00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:44,000 Speaker 4: It was ugly last week, There's no question about it. 266 00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:48,480 Speaker 4: There's that was an eyebrow raiser for me. That Falcons 267 00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:50,520 Speaker 4: had looked pretty good up till that point in the 268 00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:54,839 Speaker 4: first couple of weeks. Last week not so much. 269 00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:57,480 Speaker 3: I can't figure that team out. That they are in enigma. 270 00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:00,360 Speaker 4: They've barely lost to the Buccaneers. Then they eat the 271 00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:04,960 Speaker 4: Vikings convincingly, and then they'll care. 272 00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:08,200 Speaker 3: Was that with Al McCarthy or McCarthy heard in that 273 00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:09,079 Speaker 3: game and then left. 274 00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:16,760 Speaker 4: Maybe the Carolina Panthers lumped him up nothing. 275 00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:20,920 Speaker 3: The Panthers, who still this just in have a horrible defense. 276 00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:24,720 Speaker 3: They shut him out. I don't know what's going on. 277 00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:26,760 Speaker 4: I don't know either that. Yeah, I don't either. 278 00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:29,200 Speaker 2: And the Minnesota Vikings are going to be without outside 279 00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:32,560 Speaker 2: linebacker Andrew Van Ginkel again this week. Suffered a neck 280 00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:36,400 Speaker 2: injury in Week two against the Falcons or sorry, against Cincinnati, 281 00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:38,800 Speaker 2: and he's now going to miss a second straight game 282 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:44,320 Speaker 2: with that injury. So he's a valuable edge presence for them. Yeah, 283 00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:48,680 Speaker 2: and he is not going to suit up again this week. 284 00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:52,480 Speaker 2: So tough break for the Vikings defense. 285 00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:55,360 Speaker 4: Yeah, the command Jaden Daniels being out of second straight 286 00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:57,600 Speaker 4: that kneat. You can't. 287 00:14:57,680 --> 00:14:58,840 Speaker 3: He's not a big guy either. 288 00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:03,560 Speaker 4: He's not big. He doesn't now he's he doesn't know 289 00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:05,400 Speaker 4: if he wants to wear a brace in the game 290 00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:11,400 Speaker 4: if he play. I'm like, dude, that's yeah, that's the worry. 291 00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:13,920 Speaker 4: The club has to protect guys. You have to protect 292 00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:17,320 Speaker 4: guys from themselves. They'll go out and try it, you know, 293 00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:24,400 Speaker 4: so we'll see. I always worry about young players who 294 00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:26,320 Speaker 4: want to fight through it, and because they you know, 295 00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:28,920 Speaker 4: they feel an obligation, particularly a guy like Jade Nels 296 00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:30,880 Speaker 4: who's such a big part of who they are and 297 00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:34,600 Speaker 4: what they're doing. You feel an extra load of responsibility 298 00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:35,800 Speaker 4: to go out there and try and do it for 299 00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:38,760 Speaker 4: your guys. When actually and actuality, it's probably a bad idea. 300 00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:41,920 Speaker 2: Looking like Terry mclaurin's not going to play either for 301 00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:46,400 Speaker 2: the Commanders. He's dealing with a quad injury. It is Friday, 302 00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:49,040 Speaker 2: and you know what that means. The OBL Friday fan 303 00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:53,400 Speaker 2: mail bag is open.

All vegetables 348 00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:04,040 Speaker 4: should taste. 349 00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:06,960 Speaker 2: Like that, Yes, I just and like I said, I 350 00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:10,960 Speaker 2: just wish I had thought to wrap more vegetables and 351 00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:12,480 Speaker 2: bacon when I was trying to get my kids to 352 00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:15,800 Speaker 2: eat their vegetables. Although they were pretty good vegetable eaters, 353 00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:17,479 Speaker 2: I can't knock them. They were certainly better than I 354 00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:19,200 Speaker 2: was as a kid. That's what That's what my parents 355 00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:22,200 Speaker 2: should have used me vegetables, wrap them and bacon. 356 00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:23,199 Speaker 3: I would have been all over it. 357 00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:26,000 Speaker 2: Uh eight O three oh five point fifty the number 358 00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:27,960 Speaker 2: to get on board. And we're gonna go to the 359 00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:31,960 Speaker 2: phones now and waiting. There is Mike down in Pennsylvania. 360 00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:32,919 Speaker 3: What he got for his mic. 361 00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:38,040 Speaker 5: Hey guys, Happy Friday for this beautiful weekend. What a 362 00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:39,880 Speaker 5: what a great one o'clock game. 363 00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:40,920 Speaker 6: And I'll be up there. 364 00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:45,040 Speaker 5: I'm actually traveling. I'm excited for that, you know. I 365 00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:48,960 Speaker 5: obviously the bills of my team. I watched them evolve 366 00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:51,800 Speaker 5: into what I really like in this three tight end set. 367 00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:55,400 Speaker 5: I think it adds an element of surprise to the defense. 368 00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:58,960 Speaker 5: They can run, they can pass, but eventually they're gonna 369 00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:01,880 Speaker 5: need somebody to take the top off the defense. Now, 370 00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:03,960 Speaker 5: I was watching the game last night. Maybe it's a 371 00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:07,119 Speaker 5: pipe dream. Maybe they have that guy on the roster 372 00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:09,760 Speaker 5: and Gabe Davis. But I just kind of came to 373 00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:12,960 Speaker 5: a conclusion similar to like Sammy Watkins, high draft pick 374 00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:15,919 Speaker 5: just maybe needs a scene of change of scenery. And 375 00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:19,399 Speaker 5: Marvin Harrison, do you think that the Bills could possibly 376 00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:22,719 Speaker 5: go after somebody like that, or even if the Cardinals 377 00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:24,520 Speaker 5: would even want to trade him? But it just seems 378 00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:27,760 Speaker 5: like he's having struggle after struggle after struggle there, and 379 00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:30,280 Speaker 5: it's just, you know, the Bills got to, in my opinion, 380 00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:32,680 Speaker 5: have to do something at that deep threat position. 381 00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:36,240 Speaker 4: Whether the Bills need to or not, you can we 382 00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:40,800 Speaker 4: debate that all day. Their offense is not broken. So 383 00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:43,320 Speaker 4: and I get you too. The thirteen personnel is a 384 00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:45,119 Speaker 4: cool thing, but once in a while you want to 385 00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:48,040 Speaker 4: see him, you know, lineup, drop back and throw it 386 00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:51,520 Speaker 4: to a little speedster. But as far as Marvin Harrison 387 00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:57,120 Speaker 4: Junior is concerned, I see what you see. He did 388 00:19:57,160 --> 00:20:02,159 Speaker 4: not look anything like the guy we thought he was 389 00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:04,120 Speaker 4: gonna look like when he was drafted. 390 00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:06,080 Speaker 3: Oh he's struggling with his confidence right now? 391 00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:10,080 Speaker 4: Well, I yes, I think he's struggling in a bad 392 00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:12,520 Speaker 4: offense with a quarterback who struggles to get the ball 393 00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:16,480 Speaker 4: to him. I think he's the communication and the way 394 00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:20,000 Speaker 4: the offense is called and what his quarterback does doesn't 395 00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:21,879 Speaker 4: mesh with the way his mindset is. I don't think 396 00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:24,600 Speaker 4: they know each other well enough. Even after a full 397 00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:30,000 Speaker 4: year together, they still seem like they're miscommunicating, where Marvin's 398 00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:34,320 Speaker 4: doing one thing and the quarterback's expecting another. His quarterback 399 00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:38,000 Speaker 4: is not a pure passer. He's more of a He 400 00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:40,000 Speaker 4: can't see the middle of the field because of his height. 401 00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:43,439 Speaker 4: It's a problem, whether he admits it or not. He 402 00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:46,080 Speaker 4: has limitations as a quarterback, but he also has some 403 00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:49,320 Speaker 4: really super gifts. The guy's really mobile and really turns out. 404 00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:52,080 Speaker 4: And if maybe Marvin Harrison Junior is not good at 405 00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:54,119 Speaker 4: the scrambled drill, it's not something he likes to do. 406 00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:56,960 Speaker 4: Maybe it's there are guys that like when I come 407 00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:59,359 Speaker 4: out of my break, I want to I want the ball, 408 00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:01,160 Speaker 4: you know, I want to see what's going on when 409 00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:02,720 Speaker 4: I turn around. I want the play to be working. 410 00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:04,440 Speaker 4: I don't want to come out and have the quarterback 411 00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:06,560 Speaker 4: on the opposite side of the field. It bothers me. 412 00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:10,160 Speaker 4: Sammy Watkins was notorious for that. When the quarterback broke 413 00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:14,320 Speaker 4: contained went out, Sammy just stopped running. It was a problem, 414 00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:17,879 Speaker 4: a real problem. I don't know if Marvin Harrison Junior 415 00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:19,760 Speaker 4: does that or not, but he didn't seem to be 416 00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:24,320 Speaker 4: on the same page with Kyler Murray having said that 417 00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:29,400 Speaker 4: it would take an awful big crowbar to get him 418 00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:32,080 Speaker 4: pry him out of the clutches of the Arizona Cardinals. 419 00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:34,359 Speaker 2: In my opinion, he was the fourth pick in the 420 00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:38,160 Speaker 2: draft two years ago, not to mention the huge crowbar 421 00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:40,440 Speaker 2: that he would carry a twenty eight million dollar dead 422 00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:43,400 Speaker 2: cap hit for the Cardinals to move him. I mean, 423 00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:47,040 Speaker 2: they are heavily invested in that player. They're not giving 424 00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:51,480 Speaker 2: up after two seasons. They're just not so I would 425 00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:56,600 Speaker 2: be stunned if a move like that happened. I would too, 426 00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:58,320 Speaker 2: And I don't even know if they could withstand the 427 00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:00,639 Speaker 2: cap hit they would incur as well, plus all the 428 00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:03,480 Speaker 2: guaranteed bonus money that they owe him. I mean it's 429 00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:06,560 Speaker 2: thirty five million in guaranteed bonus money. To have a 430 00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:08,520 Speaker 2: player not beyond your roster that that. 431 00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:13,160 Speaker 4: Yeah, it would have to be an elucrative, attractive offer. 432 00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:16,199 Speaker 4: And you're doing that to get a guy who you 433 00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:18,040 Speaker 4: think could be pretty good at or at least a 434 00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:21,000 Speaker 4: little better in your system. Right and adding him to 435 00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:27,520 Speaker 4: an offense that doesn't need fixed. So as much as 436 00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:30,000 Speaker 4: people like I don't know, I think this offense is 437 00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:32,199 Speaker 4: missing nothing, no nothing. 438 00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:33,240 Speaker 3: It's the number one offense. 439 00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:35,640 Speaker 4: Forget about forget about taking the litter. They don't take 440 00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:38,639 Speaker 4: the list. Don't worry about that. When they needed to 441 00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:41,119 Speaker 4: take the lid off, they did it in five minutes 442 00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:44,639 Speaker 4: against the Baltimore Ravens. They don't. They don't do it 443 00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:46,880 Speaker 4: because they don't want to. They don't do it because 444 00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:48,800 Speaker 4: they don't need to. They don't do it because Josh 445 00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:53,560 Speaker 4: is choosing to throw it someplace else there. They are absolutely, 446 00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:57,639 Speaker 4: they are an absolute offensive wagon. They don't need they 447 00:22:57,640 --> 00:22:59,800 Speaker 4: could use. Marvin Harrison Junior is probably a pretty good 448 00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:03,879 Speaker 4: play even the way he looked last night. Bill's no 449 00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:10,080 Speaker 4: offense doesn't need a shot in the arm, now, you know, 450 00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:15,760 Speaker 4: if you're talking about getting a mic on Parsons in yeah, okay, 451 00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:17,840 Speaker 4: that's on the other side of the ball. That's the 452 00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:19,919 Speaker 4: side of the ball could use a shot in the arm, 453 00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:22,439 Speaker 4: I'm not you know, Marvin Harrison Junior, and not so 454 00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:25,960 Speaker 4: much Miles Garrett. Yeah, I'll talk to you about that, right, 455 00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:29,000 Speaker 4: I mean, that's what we're talking about the offense isn't busted? 456 00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:34,639 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, you're nitpicking, is basically. 457 00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:36,800 Speaker 2: I mean, if you have an issue with the offense, 458 00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:39,159 Speaker 2: you are nitpicking because it's a number one offense your football. 459 00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:41,000 Speaker 3: It's the number one rushing offense in football. 460 00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:42,080 Speaker 4: You're getting distracted. 461 00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:44,640 Speaker 2: They're top five in the red zone. You just don't 462 00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:46,400 Speaker 2: see enough sizzle and that bothers you. 463 00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:51,720 Speaker 4: You're getting too bad, distracted from what needs to be fixed. Yeah. 464 00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:53,720 Speaker 4: I think we. 465 00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:55,760 Speaker 3: Will take more phone calls in the next segment, but 466 00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:56,879 Speaker 3: we have to ask you first. 467 00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:01,680 Speaker 2: Are you or is someone you know?

But as 498 00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:10,160 Speaker 2: we know, six sacks in three games, they're not getting 499 00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:12,160 Speaker 2: the quarterback on the ground and most of the time 500 00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:16,280 Speaker 2: they're not even hitting the quarterback. So something has to 501 00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:19,600 Speaker 2: change there to tip the scales in favor of more 502 00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:23,679 Speaker 2: quarterback takedowns. So we'll see if they can get the 503 00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:26,840 Speaker 2: best of this Saints offensive line. The Saints offensive line 504 00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:29,280 Speaker 2: did not have their starting right tackle in the last 505 00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:32,760 Speaker 2: week's game. Tally sa Fuaga looks like he's going to 506 00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:34,919 Speaker 2: be back in the lineup this week, So they're starting 507 00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:38,280 Speaker 2: right tackle back in after they had to do some 508 00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:44,480 Speaker 2: line shuffling last week, So that'll be a plus for them, presumably, 509 00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:45,080 Speaker 2: you would think. 510 00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:48,399 Speaker 4: Yeah, like we've been talking about it, it'll be interesting 511 00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:53,160 Speaker 4: to see if Epiness is able to go, if Landon 512 00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:55,480 Speaker 4: Jackson gets some time on the field in his place. 513 00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:58,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, so that could be a new element added to 514 00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:01,119 Speaker 2: the mix. And we'll have to see what they have 515 00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:04,520 Speaker 2: cooked up for the defensive interior. Because each of the 516 00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:08,000 Speaker 2: last two weeks steve for the Bills defensive line, we've 517 00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:13,480 Speaker 2: seen a different combination on the interior. Last week it 518 00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:16,680 Speaker 2: was Dion Walker and Daikwon Jones, Daiquon moving from his 519 00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:18,879 Speaker 2: one technique spot over to three technique and they had 520 00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:22,680 Speaker 2: Deon Walker play the one the quote unquote nose tackle position. 521 00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:25,879 Speaker 2: The week before, you saw Javon Solomon kicking inside on 522 00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:29,640 Speaker 2: pass rushing downs, basically serving as the Ed Oliver roll 523 00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:32,639 Speaker 2: pass rusher. So do they have something different for the 524 00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:35,159 Speaker 2: Saints this week. I'll be curious to see what they 525 00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:35,880 Speaker 2: have cooked up. 526 00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:38,760 Speaker 4: Yeah, there'll be some wrinkles for sure. They can't do 527 00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:41,600 Speaker 4: the same thing every week and have it not be anticipated. 528 00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:43,480 Speaker 4: So it'll be fun to see who that how that is. 529 00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:46,040 Speaker 4: And the only thing we get really to see is 530 00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:49,040 Speaker 4: who's actually on the field. The schemes and the twists 531 00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:53,600 Speaker 4: and the stunts, yeah, that's you'll you can only do 532 00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:57,920 Speaker 4: that in retrospect. So it'll be fun to see which 533 00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:00,320 Speaker 4: combinations in and see if these guys taking know to 534 00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:02,719 Speaker 4: have TJ. Sanders, If Dian Walker comes a little bit, 535 00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:04,879 Speaker 4: gets a little bit better, if Dean Walker gets a 536 00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:06,840 Speaker 4: little bit better, he's. 537 00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:09,040 Speaker 3: Gonna start to be a major problem. 538 00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:11,160 Speaker 4: He's gonna start to be a guy who doesn't come out, 539 00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:13,560 Speaker 4: who starts the who's got his hand on the ground, 540 00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:16,600 Speaker 4: snap one right, I mean he's gonna be out there 541 00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:20,720 Speaker 4: a lot. So yeah, he's started to spread his wings 542 00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:22,359 Speaker 4: a little bit here in the early going. We'll see. 543 00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:25,640 Speaker 2: So that is collision course brought to you by Gabe's collision. 544 00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:28,720 Speaker 2: Got to get back to the phones as the OBL 545 00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:30,800 Speaker 2: Friday fan mail bag is open for any and all 546 00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:34,480 Speaker 2: of your bills or NFL related questions. And we lead 547 00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:36,600 Speaker 2: off this segment with Michael and Buffalo. It's up Michael. 548 00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:41,640 Speaker 8: Hey, how you doing good. It's nice to see you guys. 549 00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:47,560 Speaker 8: You bet. I'm talking about Greg Ross. He's been non 550 00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:53,520 Speaker 8: existent in three games. Yeah, and the amount of money 551 00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:58,920 Speaker 8: he's being paid, uh makes it a little scary. 552 00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:03,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't disagree with you. He has been noticeably absent. 553 00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:07,600 Speaker 2: And this is a guy who led the team last 554 00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:11,680 Speaker 2: year in sacks with eight, tackles for loss with sixteen, 555 00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:14,720 Speaker 2: and forced fumbles with three. He was tied for the 556 00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:18,880 Speaker 2: league lead. Also led the team in quarterback hits. So 557 00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:21,920 Speaker 2: he was a guy whose presence you felt each and 558 00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:24,719 Speaker 2: every week on this defensive front. And I don't think 559 00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:26,959 Speaker 2: we've felt that way about him in any of the 560 00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:31,480 Speaker 2: first three games. And coach McDermott was asked about him 561 00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:35,640 Speaker 2: yesterday and you heard him talk about him a little bit. 562 00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:39,959 Speaker 2: And I think there's been a shift in terms of 563 00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:43,760 Speaker 2: philosophy upfront where they're not just attacking up the field 564 00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:49,160 Speaker 2: every play. They're mixing and matching some read and react calls, 565 00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:53,280 Speaker 2: you know, on the defensive front. And what do we 566 00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:56,240 Speaker 2: know about Greg Russo He's a thinker type of player, 567 00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:59,240 Speaker 2: and I think he's fallen victim to maybe thinking a 568 00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:02,640 Speaker 2: little too much intead of just going and playing. I mean, 569 00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:05,280 Speaker 2: your time is short to have an impact on the 570 00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:08,680 Speaker 2: quarterback on a snap, and if you're stopping and thinking, 571 00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:11,000 Speaker 2: or you're unsure about where you're headed or what your 572 00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:14,840 Speaker 2: pass rush plan is, you're gonna play slower and be ineffective, 573 00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:16,040 Speaker 2: simple as that. 574 00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:21,320 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's been the conversation surrounding Greg Russeau this season 575 00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:24,720 Speaker 4: is why nobody's talking about him on game day only 576 00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:30,080 Speaker 4: during the week and asking why they haven't called his 577 00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:35,360 Speaker 4: name during a game. He's been noticeably absent. It could 578 00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:37,200 Speaker 4: be I don't know, we haven't heard any of that. 579 00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:39,200 Speaker 4: He's not on the injury report or anything like that, 580 00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:41,920 Speaker 4: but you know, you kind of get the feeling he's 581 00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:44,920 Speaker 4: battling something that's not worth talking about and it's really 582 00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:47,840 Speaker 4: affecting him, or at least a little bit. I don't know, 583 00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:49,560 Speaker 4: we don't have any reason to believe that, but that's 584 00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:52,560 Speaker 4: what it feels like. But he's not on the injury 585 00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:56,040 Speaker 4: report and he seems healthy. And it's a question and 586 00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:58,640 Speaker 4: a conversation that's been going on for the last couple 587 00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:01,840 Speaker 4: of weeks now, So uh, I think we just kind 588 00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:03,360 Speaker 4: of have to sit here and watch him. 589 00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:03,720 Speaker 9: Yeah. 590 00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:06,040 Speaker 4: I've read a couple of guys online, some of the 591 00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:08,120 Speaker 4: guys you talk about online who are analysts and they 592 00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:10,520 Speaker 4: put stuff, you know, on X and stuff. Some of 593 00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:13,880 Speaker 4: them have said he's still playing solid football, but of course, 594 00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:17,720 Speaker 4: you know solid is great. Every once in a while, 595 00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:18,760 Speaker 4: you'd like spectacular. 596 00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:22,400 Speaker 2: Well, we're used to seeing him in the offensive backfield 597 00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:25,440 Speaker 2: every week, not maybe not necessarily sacking a quarterback, but 598 00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:28,120 Speaker 2: getting a tackle for loss or batting a pass out 599 00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:31,480 Speaker 2: of the air. Like you come to become accustomed to 600 00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:35,959 Speaker 2: noticing him at points in a game every week. And 601 00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:38,440 Speaker 2: that has not happened through the first three weeks. And look, 602 00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:41,720 Speaker 2: if we notice it, you certainly know the coaches notice it, 603 00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:45,280 Speaker 2: and they are desperate to get him unlocked and having 604 00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:48,280 Speaker 2: more of an impact on the game. Let's go to 605 00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:49,720 Speaker 2: Chris and only next, what's up? 606 00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:50,120 Speaker 4: Chris? 607 00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:52,160 Speaker 6: Hey, what's up? 608 00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:52,560 Speaker 4: Yeah? 609 00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:54,960 Speaker 10: I was just want here And if you think the 610 00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:57,880 Speaker 10: beast couple of years Matlinald's been getting hurt. You think 611 00:31:57,920 --> 00:31:59,880 Speaker 10: it's trying to move on from him and maybe tell 612 00:31:59,920 --> 00:32:03,920 Speaker 10: you trading for some draft picks or something for him. 613 00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:07,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't see that happening, and I think his 614 00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:10,600 Speaker 2: injury history is probably the biggest impediment to doing something 615 00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:13,720 Speaker 2: like that. Chris, if you're willing to throw him overboard, 616 00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:15,840 Speaker 2: what makes you think that some other team's gonna be 617 00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:19,320 Speaker 2: interested in him to part with assets to acquire a 618 00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:21,760 Speaker 2: guy that is having trouble staying on the field. I 619 00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:24,240 Speaker 2: just don't see that as a reason not to mention 620 00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:25,560 Speaker 2: the fact that he's going to be a free agent 621 00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:26,280 Speaker 2: after this year. 622 00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:28,800 Speaker 3: So I think they ride it out. 623 00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:31,200 Speaker 2: Hopefully it gets healthy and can get back to making 624 00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:34,120 Speaker 2: plays for this defense. And it's not like they don't 625 00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:37,680 Speaker 2: have a capable guy filling in for him and Dorian 626 00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:39,880 Speaker 2: Williams who led this team in tackles last year with 627 00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:41,080 Speaker 2: only eleven starts. 628 00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:43,400 Speaker 4: Yeah, they're not gonna They're not gonna move on from 629 00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:45,240 Speaker 4: him this year. He's in the last year of his deal. 630 00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:47,720 Speaker 4: He's been too good a player for them. He still 631 00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:49,640 Speaker 4: has an upside, and this injury doesn't seem to be 632 00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:52,000 Speaker 4: long term. They're gonna want him late in the season 633 00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:54,640 Speaker 4: when they can make a push, and then if he 634 00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:57,280 Speaker 4: wants to hit free agency, they'll allow him to do that. Probably, 635 00:32:57,480 --> 00:32:59,440 Speaker 4: we'll probably make him an offer because they do that 636 00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:02,960 Speaker 4: with guys love and respect, which they do. So I 637 00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:05,400 Speaker 4: don't think they're gonna move on from him during season. 638 00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:08,000 Speaker 4: I think they're counting on him to help them and 639 00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:09,440 Speaker 4: help him in a big way. And when he's been 640 00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:11,920 Speaker 4: out there, he's good. Yeah, we all know that, and 641 00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:14,440 Speaker 4: so what the problem is obvious, He's not been available 642 00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:17,680 Speaker 4: enough over the last two years. But this injury doesn't 643 00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:20,360 Speaker 4: seem to be serious, and I think they're gonna stick 644 00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:23,000 Speaker 4: with him for sure till the end of this season, 645 00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:27,680 Speaker 4: however long that is. Yeah, then after that when all 646 00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:28,200 Speaker 4: bets are. 647 00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:31,480 Speaker 3: Off, we'll see to Steven in Florida next. 648 00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:35,960 Speaker 11: What's up, Steven, Hey, good Friday afternoon. Glad to speak 649 00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:39,480 Speaker 11: with you guys. In reference to the two callars ago, 650 00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:42,560 Speaker 11: I agree with you guys one hundred percent. You know, 651 00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:44,880 Speaker 11: if it ain't broke, don't fix it. The problem ain't 652 00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:47,840 Speaker 11: not on offense with the Bills, and you know we've 653 00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:51,200 Speaker 11: all seen what's going on. It's the defense. You know, 654 00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:53,520 Speaker 11: and I'm not taking away from them, let's face that 655 00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:56,360 Speaker 11: they're you know, they need to improve their third down 656 00:33:56,440 --> 00:34:00,280 Speaker 11: defense radically and cause more three and outs. You know, 657 00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:02,239 Speaker 11: you look at Josh, I just see the way he 658 00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:07,040 Speaker 11: has improved and matured. He's now being patiently persistent. He's 659 00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:09,520 Speaker 11: not being slappy. And I think this is one of 660 00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:12,279 Speaker 11: the keys why you don't see the Bills turning over 661 00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:15,359 Speaker 11: the ball. The Bills are leading, I believe in the 662 00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:19,239 Speaker 11: turnover battle of all the NFL teams. So if they 663 00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:23,080 Speaker 11: can just radically improve on defense and you know, put 664 00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:27,240 Speaker 11: more pressure on the opposing quarterbacks and cause more sacks 665 00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:29,560 Speaker 11: and three and outs, and you know, just keep dealing 666 00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:31,640 Speaker 11: what they're doing, they'll be fine. Now I want to 667 00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:34,839 Speaker 11: finish this. I like writing poetry. So here's my take 668 00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:39,120 Speaker 11: for this Sunday. Here we are a week four, another Sunday, 669 00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:42,400 Speaker 11: So what will the story be when we get to Monday. 670 00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:46,880 Speaker 11: Expect the Bills to keep rolling along, giving Bills Mafia 671 00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:50,920 Speaker 11: reason to keep singing that shout song. So this Sunday, 672 00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:54,240 Speaker 11: the Saints may go marching in, but they'll be blown 673 00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:58,600 Speaker 11: out with the Bills forty five to fourteen win. Go Bills. 674 00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:04,120 Speaker 2: All right, thanks Steven little poetry there for your Friday. 675 00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:06,000 Speaker 4: My question is meter, but it was good. 676 00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:11,560 Speaker 3: Sorry, thanks Professor Tasker. 677 00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:14,279 Speaker 4: That's right, Stephen. Thanks man a dead poem with your 678 00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:15,080 Speaker 4: poetry any time. 679 00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:21,759 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not just third down defense, it's red zone 680 00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:22,600 Speaker 2: defense also. 681 00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:25,040 Speaker 3: That has been a trouble spot. Also. 682 00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:29,279 Speaker 2: They have the Bills right now are twenty ninth in 683 00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:34,000 Speaker 2: red zone defense. They're giving up or sorry, twenty seventh 684 00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:36,239 Speaker 2: in red zone defense, given up touchdowns at a rate 685 00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:40,840 Speaker 2: of seventy one percent, and they have the third worst 686 00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:42,360 Speaker 2: run defense. 687 00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:44,399 Speaker 3: In the red zone. They're giving up six point six 688 00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:47,919 Speaker 3: yards per carry starting in the red zone. They got 689 00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:51,719 Speaker 3: to cut that number by more than half to just 690 00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:54,279 Speaker 3: be where most teams are in defending the run. 691 00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:56,680 Speaker 2: You can't stop the run in the red zone. You're cooked, 692 00:35:57,040 --> 00:35:59,520 Speaker 2: forget it. You're gonna be giving up touchdowns left, right, 693 00:35:59,520 --> 00:35:59,920 Speaker 2: and center. 694 00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:05,720 Speaker 4: And you said their defense needs to radically radically, maybe 695 00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:11,399 Speaker 4: not steadily improve is they're good on first and second down. 696 00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:15,839 Speaker 4: You got teams third and long constantly, which is why 697 00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:19,760 Speaker 4: it's so frustrating when teams don't get off the field 698 00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:22,200 Speaker 4: when it's third and eight. They convert third and twelve 699 00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:25,040 Speaker 4: they convert third, and eleven they convert third, and fourteen 700 00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:32,960 Speaker 4: they convert. It is really frustrating. That sounds like a 701 00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:38,360 Speaker 4: bigger issue than it is. To me. They are gonna 702 00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:44,080 Speaker 4: just a slight uptick in pressure, a slight increase in 703 00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:47,279 Speaker 4: you know how fast they get, a slight decrease in 704 00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:50,319 Speaker 4: the time the quarterback has as all it's gonna take. 705 00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:54,399 Speaker 4: You're talking about fractions of a second, and that will 706 00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:58,200 Speaker 4: be plenty to improve your third down defense in a 707 00:36:58,239 --> 00:37:01,400 Speaker 4: big way. So they don't need to throw the baby 708 00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:03,560 Speaker 4: out with the bath water. They don't need to totally 709 00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:06,200 Speaker 4: revamp their third down defense. They just need to play 710 00:37:06,239 --> 00:37:09,759 Speaker 4: just a hair better because on first and second down 711 00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:14,080 Speaker 4: they are giving themselves a chance consistently, series in, series out, 712 00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:16,640 Speaker 4: They are really doing well on first and second down. 713 00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:19,560 Speaker 4: They just need one more play out of it, that's all. 714 00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:23,560 Speaker 4: So yeah, I'm no question, you're right that third down 715 00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:27,040 Speaker 4: defense is the problem with the entire The whole shooting 716 00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:30,120 Speaker 4: match right now to me, is about their third down defense. 717 00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:35,120 Speaker 4: It's not that far away, but it doesn't seem to 718 00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:37,440 Speaker 4: have gotten closer over the first couple of three weeks. 719 00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:41,839 Speaker 2: Let's take a look at some of the questions you've 720 00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:45,760 Speaker 2: got in thebl Fan Friday mail Bag on the tweet 721 00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:49,399 Speaker 2: sheet side of things and tweet sheet as always brought 722 00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:51,959 Speaker 2: to you by Corrigan Moving Systems, the official equipment moving 723 00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:55,600 Speaker 2: company of the Buffalo Bills. Henry says Dalton kin Kate 724 00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:59,520 Speaker 2: why is one of our best weapons? Snap percentage only 725 00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:02,799 Speaker 2: at fifty one percent this season? He's healthy compared with 726 00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:03,480 Speaker 2: last season. 727 00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:04,480 Speaker 3: Feels like his. 728 00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:08,640 Speaker 2: Talent is being underutilized, especially since we almost always have 729 00:38:09,239 --> 00:38:15,560 Speaker 2: a tight end on the field. I think they're happy 730 00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:19,279 Speaker 2: to rotate all three of those tight ends through and 731 00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:21,880 Speaker 2: there have been instances in eleven personnel where it's been 732 00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:25,680 Speaker 2: Dawson Knocks on the field as the single tight end. 733 00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:27,960 Speaker 2: There have been times where it's Kincaid, and there have 734 00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:30,640 Speaker 2: been times where it's even been Jackson Hawes. 735 00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:32,600 Speaker 3: The rookie. 736 00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:38,760 Speaker 2: I think as the year moves along, if you're asking 737 00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:40,719 Speaker 2: me to guess which tight end is going to have 738 00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:45,640 Speaker 2: the highest snap count share, I would be betting on 739 00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:48,160 Speaker 2: Kinkaid to have that. Now, is it going to be 740 00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:50,799 Speaker 2: a wide disparity between the first tight end, the second 741 00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:52,880 Speaker 2: tight end, and the third tight end? I don't know, 742 00:38:53,120 --> 00:38:54,719 Speaker 2: but I think at the end of the year, he 743 00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:57,799 Speaker 2: will have the highest snap count share of the three 744 00:38:57,840 --> 00:38:59,600 Speaker 2: tight end I'll bet it's still knocks at the end 745 00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:02,799 Speaker 2: of the year. Why because of their propensity to run 746 00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:03,360 Speaker 2: the football. 747 00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:04,440 Speaker 3: It's possible. 748 00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:09,440 Speaker 4: So I'm yeah, like I said, we've been talking about today, 749 00:39:10,040 --> 00:39:13,680 Speaker 4: I get it. Kinkaid is a weapon. He plays what 750 00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:16,960 Speaker 4: he's been a little bit of an elevated priority in 751 00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:19,640 Speaker 4: the passing game of late particularly in the thirteen and 752 00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:26,720 Speaker 4: twelve personnel packages. But I'm not I'm not gonna question 753 00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:31,279 Speaker 4: anything the offense is doing right now. Nope. Yeah, as 754 00:39:31,320 --> 00:39:34,280 Speaker 4: much as you'd like to see Dalton Kinkaid, there's another 755 00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:37,400 Speaker 4: section of the of the Mafia that wants more cook. 756 00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:39,480 Speaker 4: I mean, there's still another section. 757 00:39:39,239 --> 00:39:40,160 Speaker 3: Of the Mafia one shot. 758 00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:43,160 Speaker 4: They want Kean Coleman. There's another section that says, hey, 759 00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:47,680 Speaker 4: we've completely forgotten about Khalil Shakir. It ain't it's not broken. 760 00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:51,880 Speaker 4: Everybody eats, which means not everybody gets, you know, a 761 00:39:52,520 --> 00:40:00,200 Speaker 4: plate at the buffet every down. So yeah, it it's 762 00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:02,320 Speaker 4: not perpose. It's never gonna look perfect. It's you know, 763 00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:04,840 Speaker 4: there's always gonna be the ball's always gonna be spread 764 00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:07,880 Speaker 4: out and distributed so your favorite player probably is not 765 00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:12,560 Speaker 4: gonna be getting the ball half the offensive snaps. It's 766 00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:15,799 Speaker 4: just the way this team runs their offense, and it 767 00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:19,560 Speaker 4: is I'll say it again, it is an absolute wagon. 768 00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:24,480 Speaker 4: So they're not changing anything right now because some individual 769 00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:27,920 Speaker 4: guy player on their team isn't getting a you know, 770 00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:32,080 Speaker 4: ten percent more of the snaps. Forget it. They're they're 771 00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:36,879 Speaker 4: cruising and they're not gonna stop. There's no reason to no. 772 00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:39,880 Speaker 3: We are at a break here, so we got to 773 00:40:39,880 --> 00:40:40,560 Speaker 3: step aside. 774 00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:43,320 Speaker 2: But more of your phone calls when we return the 775 00:40:43,480 --> 00:40:46,640 Speaker 2: lead off with Jack in Lockport. When we come back 776 00:40:46,680 --> 00:40:49,839 Speaker 2: here on an obl Friday fan mail bag edition of 777 00:40:49,920 --> 00:41:04,320 Speaker 2: One Bill's Live Stay with us today, we're having a 778 00:41:04,320 --> 00:41:08,600 Speaker 2: little friendly competition during our lunch break, be trying two 779 00:41:08,680 --> 00:41:15,640 Speaker 2: different recipes, one sweet, one savory that feature snap Dragon apples. 780 00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:18,520 Speaker 2: Snap Dragon apples are a New York bred apple that 781 00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:21,600 Speaker 2: has a monster crunch, spicy sweet flavor, and a slight. 782 00:41:21,480 --> 00:41:22,280 Speaker 3: Hint of vanilla. 783 00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:23,880 Speaker 4: You've got them the vanilla. 784 00:41:24,760 --> 00:41:27,640 Speaker 2: There are some of the juiciest apples out there.

Very flavorful. 788 00:41:39,280 --> 00:41:44,040 Speaker 4: What did you think, I'd the sliders are awesome, and 789 00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:47,640 Speaker 4: like anything that, the apple's always good. It's about the dip, 790 00:41:47,640 --> 00:41:49,400 Speaker 4: and the DIP's good too. But you can bring these 791 00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:52,360 Speaker 4: apples in them. You can dip them into blue cheese. 792 00:41:52,360 --> 00:41:52,879 Speaker 4: It'd be good. 793 00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:55,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a lot of great flavor and protein in here. 794 00:41:55,680 --> 00:41:57,640 Speaker 2: But it's actually really quick to assemble.

The dip is a mixture of nut, butter 800 00:42:12,920 --> 00:42:16,560 Speaker 2: seeds and coconut and we have some freshly sliced snap 801 00:42:16,640 --> 00:42:18,279 Speaker 2: dragon apples to dunk in it. 802 00:42:18,320 --> 00:42:19,720 Speaker 3: I did that right before the break. 803 00:42:20,120 --> 00:42:23,960 Speaker 2: That is something I would even do for breakfast, Like 804 00:42:24,040 --> 00:42:28,479 Speaker 2: I would just roll out this protein peanut buttered fruit 805 00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:31,759 Speaker 2: or butter dipped. Yeah, it's got maple syrup in it. 806 00:42:31,760 --> 00:42:32,840 Speaker 2: That says breakfast to me. 807 00:42:33,880 --> 00:42:35,120 Speaker 4: Close enough, let's go. 808 00:42:35,320 --> 00:42:38,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, this also is super easy to make good option 809 00:42:38,640 --> 00:42:40,719 Speaker 2: for an appetizer for your tailgate, to pack for. 810 00:42:40,640 --> 00:42:42,200 Speaker 3: A snack while on the go, or just at home. 811 00:42:42,239 --> 00:42:45,160 Speaker 2: Apples compliment the sweet dip well provide a nice balance 812 00:42:45,160 --> 00:42:48,120 Speaker 2: of sweetness with added health benefits too. Grows across the 813 00:42:48,160 --> 00:42:50,680 Speaker 2: state currently picking snap Dragon apples, which can be found 814 00:42:50,680 --> 00:42:53,799 Speaker 2: at Wegman starting Monday and other retailers in the area. 815 00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:57,640 Speaker 2: They're also available at you pickstands around the region as 816 00:42:57,680 --> 00:43:01,120 Speaker 2: the official apple of the Bubbalo bill.

So I would have to say it's hard 820 00:43:11,880 --> 00:43:15,760 Speaker 2: to go against any slider that mixes the apple slice 821 00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:20,239 Speaker 2: with bacon. Yeah, So I was leaning that way, and 822 00:43:20,320 --> 00:43:24,920 Speaker 2: I would say if I'm having lunch, that wins. But 823 00:43:25,080 --> 00:43:29,200 Speaker 2: I think that the apples with the protein butter dip 824 00:43:31,200 --> 00:43:33,000 Speaker 2: that's good to breakfast man, because you got to get 825 00:43:33,040 --> 00:43:36,040 Speaker 2: protein to start your day so you're not got the 826 00:43:36,120 --> 00:43:39,680 Speaker 2: rumblies before lunch in your stomach. So I would definitely 827 00:43:39,719 --> 00:43:43,080 Speaker 2: do the dip with the apple slices in the morning 828 00:43:43,120 --> 00:43:46,120 Speaker 2: as a breakfast option to get my protein. That's kind 829 00:43:46,120 --> 00:43:47,280 Speaker 2: of the way I would go. 830 00:43:47,280 --> 00:43:50,320 Speaker 4: Good stuff, would you? What do you do for breakfast? 831 00:43:50,440 --> 00:43:52,239 Speaker 3: Usually coffee? 832 00:43:52,360 --> 00:43:54,680 Speaker 4: Yeah, you have a coffee and. 833 00:43:54,600 --> 00:43:56,360 Speaker 3: They have to mix this in. Get a little protein 834 00:43:56,400 --> 00:43:58,200 Speaker 3: in so you're not starving by ten. 835 00:43:58,920 --> 00:44:03,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm there, you go. Always a good option. Yeah, 836 00:44:03,160 --> 00:44:07,840 Speaker 2: so check it out. Snapdragon Apples the official apple of 837 00:44:07,840 --> 00:44:10,319 Speaker 2: the Buffalo bill but you can get these recipes on 838 00:44:10,360 --> 00:44:13,120 Speaker 2: their website, so be sure to check that out, and 839 00:44:13,120 --> 00:44:16,440 Speaker 2: be sure to check their home tailgate.

What do you 849 00:44:40,800 --> 00:44:41,480 Speaker 3: got for us? 850 00:44:41,760 --> 00:44:46,400 Speaker 9: Hey, I'm curious what are the Bills gonna do on defense? 851 00:44:47,320 --> 00:44:47,480 Speaker 11: Uh? 852 00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:50,919 Speaker 9: We got a couple injuries and we got a couple 853 00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:52,320 Speaker 9: guys that are coming off. 854 00:44:53,520 --> 00:44:55,120 Speaker 4: Whatever list they suspension? 855 00:44:57,280 --> 00:45:01,040 Speaker 9: Correct, how are they going to shuffle things? 856 00:45:01,040 --> 00:45:01,080 Speaker 11: So? 857 00:45:01,239 --> 00:45:04,960 Speaker 9: What are they doing there? And I think that can 858 00:45:04,960 --> 00:45:07,319 Speaker 9: only help our team. Where are we going to get 859 00:45:07,480 --> 00:45:09,440 Speaker 9: I would think better on defense? 860 00:45:09,760 --> 00:45:12,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, got worse? Yeah, I think that's a safe assumption. 861 00:45:12,640 --> 00:45:13,680 Speaker 3: But what they're gonna. 862 00:45:13,440 --> 00:45:16,359 Speaker 9: Do a cut for somebody to do it. 863 00:45:16,280 --> 00:45:18,080 Speaker 2: Well, I mean, I think that's a wait and see 864 00:45:18,160 --> 00:45:21,400 Speaker 2: right now, Jack, And thanks for the call. First of all, 865 00:45:22,080 --> 00:45:24,919 Speaker 2: we're hoping this doesn't happen, but an injury or two 866 00:45:25,840 --> 00:45:29,720 Speaker 2: could make the roster juggling rather easy if you sustain 867 00:45:29,800 --> 00:45:37,320 Speaker 2: one between now and we eight. And then secondarily, trade 868 00:45:37,360 --> 00:45:40,040 Speaker 2: is an option. I mean, I don't think they're going 869 00:45:40,120 --> 00:45:42,760 Speaker 2: to carry twelve defensive alignment on this roster. 870 00:45:43,120 --> 00:45:43,640 Speaker 3: They're just not. 871 00:45:45,719 --> 00:45:48,479 Speaker 2: Optioning somebody to the practice squad is another thing, although 872 00:45:48,520 --> 00:45:52,480 Speaker 2: you would expose them to being poached by another team 873 00:45:52,520 --> 00:45:55,520 Speaker 2: if you did that. So I think if you feel 874 00:45:55,560 --> 00:45:58,400 Speaker 2: like you're deficient in another area of your roster, you 875 00:45:58,480 --> 00:46:02,920 Speaker 2: may consider a trade and try to fortify the area 876 00:46:02,960 --> 00:46:04,759 Speaker 2: of your roster that you deemed to be a little 877 00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:06,440 Speaker 2: thin or perhaps even weak. 878 00:46:06,840 --> 00:46:10,680 Speaker 3: So there's a lot of options. Brandon Bean could do 879 00:46:10,800 --> 00:46:11,560 Speaker 3: just about anything. 880 00:46:11,880 --> 00:46:14,920 Speaker 2: He could trade, he could cut, he could option a 881 00:46:14,960 --> 00:46:18,960 Speaker 2: player to the practice squad, and then injury could crop 882 00:46:19,080 --> 00:46:21,399 Speaker 2: up and maybe you move a player to ir knowing 883 00:46:21,440 --> 00:46:22,879 Speaker 2: they're not going to be ready for you in a month, 884 00:46:23,800 --> 00:46:26,320 Speaker 2: you know, if you sustain some kind of serious injury 885 00:46:26,360 --> 00:46:29,520 Speaker 2: between now and the time Hoyd and Oga Joeby come back. 886 00:46:29,600 --> 00:46:32,520 Speaker 2: So that's why I said it to wait and see 887 00:46:32,560 --> 00:46:34,880 Speaker 2: any one of those things could happen. 888 00:46:35,360 --> 00:46:42,040 Speaker 4: Right And also for the short term, at Oliver's out, 889 00:46:42,320 --> 00:46:46,520 Speaker 4: you know it's gonna be perhaps with aj Panessa also hurt. 890 00:46:47,400 --> 00:46:49,120 Speaker 4: Now you're gonna find out it's going to be either 891 00:46:49,200 --> 00:46:53,960 Speaker 4: Landon Jackson, Javon Solomon, and Greg Rousseau on the edges 892 00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:57,120 Speaker 4: along with Joey Bosa, and then it'll be the same 893 00:46:57,200 --> 00:47:00,400 Speaker 4: three guys down inside with you know, Dion w Walker, 894 00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:05,560 Speaker 4: Dai Kwon and TJ. Sanders and is log still. 895 00:47:05,840 --> 00:47:08,279 Speaker 3: Log is still practice squad. He's and called up each 896 00:47:08,280 --> 00:47:09,880 Speaker 3: of the last two games. 897 00:47:09,480 --> 00:47:13,200 Speaker 4: So that's a possibility. So for the short term, it'll 898 00:47:13,239 --> 00:47:15,799 Speaker 4: be more of what we've already seen. Even with aj 899 00:47:15,920 --> 00:47:18,960 Speaker 4: Apanessa a question mark this week when you know, and 900 00:47:19,480 --> 00:47:23,160 Speaker 4: ed Oliver still out, it'll still be names you're familiar with. 901 00:47:23,760 --> 00:47:27,600 Speaker 2: I think there is a trade market for the pass 902 00:47:27,680 --> 00:47:30,920 Speaker 2: rusher position. Nick Bosa was just lost for the season 903 00:47:30,920 --> 00:47:33,480 Speaker 2: by the forty nine ers. They need edge help, and 904 00:47:33,560 --> 00:47:35,799 Speaker 2: there are other teams in the league looking for edge 905 00:47:35,800 --> 00:47:37,560 Speaker 2: help as well, so it's not like there won't be 906 00:47:37,600 --> 00:47:41,200 Speaker 2: a market for it. The question is, if you determine 907 00:47:41,239 --> 00:47:43,920 Speaker 2: that you need to move a player off your roster 908 00:47:44,040 --> 00:47:46,399 Speaker 2: via trade to make room for the likes of Hoyd 909 00:47:46,440 --> 00:47:48,920 Speaker 2: and Ogan Jobi, who is it and why? Is it 910 00:47:48,960 --> 00:47:54,719 Speaker 2: a financial decision, is it a performance decision? And what 911 00:47:54,880 --> 00:47:57,880 Speaker 2: kind of compensation are you looking for in return? Presumably 912 00:47:57,920 --> 00:48:00,000 Speaker 2: it's future draft picks, because you don't want to add 913 00:48:00,160 --> 00:48:02,560 Speaker 2: to a roster you're trying to subtract from because you 914 00:48:02,640 --> 00:48:05,640 Speaker 2: have a surplus of players at a given position. But 915 00:48:06,680 --> 00:48:08,560 Speaker 2: if you feel like you're thin in a position, like 916 00:48:09,400 --> 00:48:13,319 Speaker 2: let's just say hypothetically Hairston is not recovering at a 917 00:48:13,360 --> 00:48:15,160 Speaker 2: rate that you wanted him to and you still feel 918 00:48:15,200 --> 00:48:17,600 Speaker 2: thin at corner, do you trade a defensive end in 919 00:48:17,600 --> 00:48:20,520 Speaker 2: favor of a corner. These are all options that's for 920 00:48:21,239 --> 00:48:23,800 Speaker 2: Brandon Bean that he'll have to iron out in the 921 00:48:23,840 --> 00:48:25,680 Speaker 2: next couple of weeks with his personnel department, and. 922 00:48:25,760 --> 00:48:27,920 Speaker 4: It could be anything. So yeah, it's all of that 923 00:48:27,960 --> 00:48:30,040 Speaker 4: stuff is on the table, and there's no telling because 924 00:48:30,440 --> 00:48:34,240 Speaker 4: the circumstances that you would take advantage of this week 925 00:48:34,800 --> 00:48:37,880 Speaker 4: may not be there in two weeks when Oguin, Joby 926 00:48:37,920 --> 00:48:42,160 Speaker 4: and Hoyt come back, or just before the two weeks. 927 00:48:42,760 --> 00:48:46,439 Speaker 4: So you got to wait and see what the state 928 00:48:46,480 --> 00:48:48,880 Speaker 4: of your roster is at the moment when you have 929 00:48:48,920 --> 00:48:50,520 Speaker 4: to make that decision, and they'll push it till the 930 00:48:50,600 --> 00:48:51,240 Speaker 4: very deadline. 931 00:48:52,520 --> 00:48:53,360 Speaker 3: Got to take a break. 932 00:48:53,360 --> 00:48:56,080 Speaker 2: Here, Our number two begins with our good friends seenior 933 00:48:56,120 --> 00:48:58,560 Speaker 2: producer from NFL Films, Greg Coseel, going to join us 934 00:48:58,920 --> 00:49:02,160 Speaker 2: talk some x's and oh in this Bill Saints matchup 935 00:49:02,280 --> 00:49:04,960 Speaker 2: on Sunday.

All right, Greg, Not the sexiest of 944 00:50:12,640 --> 00:50:18,240 Speaker 2: matchups Bill's Saints, and uh boy, the Saints special teams 945 00:50:18,280 --> 00:50:19,520 Speaker 2: really let them down last week. 946 00:50:19,600 --> 00:50:20,320 Speaker 3: Holy crow. 947 00:50:21,440 --> 00:50:23,799 Speaker 2: That game was over in the first quarter, and it 948 00:50:23,880 --> 00:50:28,520 Speaker 2: was due almost exclusively to a horrible special teams unit. 949 00:50:29,000 --> 00:50:31,279 Speaker 2: And I know you don't usually watch special teams, but. 950 00:50:32,400 --> 00:50:33,600 Speaker 6: I happen to see those plays. 951 00:50:33,640 --> 00:50:35,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, it was hard not to notice what a disaster 952 00:50:36,000 --> 00:50:38,000 Speaker 2: it was. My God, they blinked and it was twenty 953 00:50:38,040 --> 00:50:38,439 Speaker 2: one nothing. 954 00:50:38,520 --> 00:50:39,239 Speaker 3: The game was over. 955 00:50:40,600 --> 00:50:43,359 Speaker 6: I know. And look, you guys know this because you 956 00:50:43,400 --> 00:50:45,840 Speaker 6: remember when Josh Allen was a rookie in the beginning 957 00:50:45,840 --> 00:50:48,800 Speaker 6: of his career. When you have a young quarterback who's playing, 958 00:50:49,560 --> 00:50:52,120 Speaker 6: the rest of the team really can't let you down, 959 00:50:52,200 --> 00:50:55,840 Speaker 6: it's almost impossible for a young quarterback, and Steve you 960 00:50:55,880 --> 00:50:58,560 Speaker 6: can appreciate this, I'm sure, really well, for a young 961 00:50:58,640 --> 00:51:01,520 Speaker 6: quarterback to really sort of get his feet on the 962 00:51:01,520 --> 00:51:04,799 Speaker 6: ground and for the team to feel like you have 963 00:51:04,840 --> 00:51:08,120 Speaker 6: a chance when the other parts of the team just 964 00:51:08,200 --> 00:51:10,640 Speaker 6: really lets you down. You know. The analogy would be, 965 00:51:10,719 --> 00:51:13,080 Speaker 6: let's say, in baseball, if you have bad starting pitching 966 00:51:13,200 --> 00:51:15,000 Speaker 6: and you're down six to nothing in the fourth inning 967 00:51:15,000 --> 00:51:16,640 Speaker 6: all the time, then it makes it look like you 968 00:51:16,680 --> 00:51:20,200 Speaker 6: have a really bad team and for a young quarterback. 969 00:51:20,239 --> 00:51:22,279 Speaker 6: And I guess Rattler has not won a game that 970 00:51:22,360 --> 00:51:27,600 Speaker 6: he started. But there's just everything has to fall into 971 00:51:27,640 --> 00:51:30,359 Speaker 6: place for a young quarterback to really have a chance 972 00:51:30,400 --> 00:51:30,759 Speaker 6: to win. 973 00:51:31,719 --> 00:51:35,680 Speaker 4: Yeah, and I get that. But I'll say this, and 974 00:51:35,719 --> 00:51:39,200 Speaker 4: I'll probably putting the huge hecks on Spencer Rattler here 975 00:51:39,239 --> 00:51:41,839 Speaker 4: because I kind of like what I see from him. 976 00:51:42,239 --> 00:51:45,560 Speaker 4: He is not it's not too much for him. He's 977 00:51:45,560 --> 00:51:48,440 Speaker 4: got live arm. No, he's a good athlete, he seems 978 00:51:48,480 --> 00:51:50,680 Speaker 4: to have a good feel in the pocket. He's been 979 00:51:50,760 --> 00:51:55,000 Speaker 4: betrayed by some bad drops early in games. And yes, 980 00:51:55,120 --> 00:51:58,800 Speaker 4: I just think he's not the problem in New Orleans. 981 00:51:58,880 --> 00:52:01,200 Speaker 4: I think they might have a guy. I think they 982 00:52:01,280 --> 00:52:03,080 Speaker 4: got a guy who they can move forward with. 983 00:52:04,200 --> 00:52:06,840 Speaker 6: A Yeah, I mean, I guess that part remains to 984 00:52:06,840 --> 00:52:08,879 Speaker 6: be seen. But I agree with what you've said about 985 00:52:08,920 --> 00:52:12,600 Speaker 6: the way in which he's played and the thing that 986 00:52:12,640 --> 00:52:15,040 Speaker 6: you have to be careful when you play him, and 987 00:52:15,120 --> 00:52:17,480 Speaker 6: you know it's I'm sure most people just assume that 988 00:52:17,560 --> 00:52:19,799 Speaker 6: this is a forty to ten bills win, But what 989 00:52:19,920 --> 00:52:21,560 Speaker 6: you have to be careful about with him is he 990 00:52:21,600 --> 00:52:24,359 Speaker 6: is an aggressive thrower of the football and he is 991 00:52:24,440 --> 00:52:27,760 Speaker 6: going to turn it loose and make throws down the field. 992 00:52:27,800 --> 00:52:29,920 Speaker 6: And he's a very good thrower. I mean when you 993 00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:32,560 Speaker 6: just talk about pure arm talent, and I know that 994 00:52:33,560 --> 00:52:37,120 Speaker 6: two words arm talent are overused, but this is a 995 00:52:37,160 --> 00:52:40,160 Speaker 6: guy that can snap it off. The ball comes out 996 00:52:40,239 --> 00:52:43,480 Speaker 6: really well. He'll be aggressive throwing it down the field, 997 00:52:43,920 --> 00:52:46,520 Speaker 6: and you know, sometimes all of a sudden, you know, 998 00:52:46,680 --> 00:52:49,440 Speaker 6: he hits two forty yard plays and all of a sudden, 999 00:52:49,440 --> 00:52:51,160 Speaker 6: you're in the middle of the second quarter and you're 1000 00:52:51,200 --> 00:52:52,920 Speaker 6: in a ten ten game, you know, and you just 1001 00:52:52,920 --> 00:52:54,719 Speaker 6: got to be careful about that because he is not 1002 00:52:54,920 --> 00:52:56,880 Speaker 6: a cautious risk averse player. 1003 00:52:57,719 --> 00:52:59,960 Speaker 2: And despite all of that, Greg, you look at his 1004 00:53:00,120 --> 00:53:02,360 Speaker 2: yards per attempt and it's the third lowest in the 1005 00:53:02,440 --> 00:53:05,839 Speaker 2: league at five point three seven. This despite the fact 1006 00:53:05,920 --> 00:53:09,080 Speaker 2: that they're often in long down and distant situations, mainly 1007 00:53:09,160 --> 00:53:10,440 Speaker 2: due to pre snat penalties. 1008 00:53:11,840 --> 00:53:12,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, but only. 1009 00:53:12,560 --> 00:53:15,200 Speaker 2: Bryce Young, cam Ward and Joe Flacco have a lower 1010 00:53:15,280 --> 00:53:18,080 Speaker 2: yards per attempt. What do you think is the biggest 1011 00:53:18,120 --> 00:53:20,600 Speaker 2: reason for that low number. 1012 00:53:23,280 --> 00:53:25,000 Speaker 6: I mean, that's hard to say. I mean, when you're 1013 00:53:25,000 --> 00:53:28,399 Speaker 6: in long yardage a lot, you know, it's it's it's 1014 00:53:28,560 --> 00:53:31,480 Speaker 6: very difficult. I'm sure he's being talked to a lot 1015 00:53:31,520 --> 00:53:34,560 Speaker 6: about not turning the ball over because you know, no 1016 00:53:34,640 --> 00:53:37,000 Speaker 6: team wants to turn the ball over, but they certainly 1017 00:53:37,000 --> 00:53:40,400 Speaker 6: can't afford to just because they're not a good enough team. 1018 00:53:40,719 --> 00:53:43,719 Speaker 6: So I'm sure in certain situations he's told to pull 1019 00:53:43,800 --> 00:53:46,319 Speaker 6: back a little bit. Obviously, they're not a very good 1020 00:53:46,440 --> 00:53:50,640 Speaker 6: third down conversion team. Because of that, they're probably, I 1021 00:53:50,640 --> 00:53:52,960 Speaker 6: would guess, in the lower five or six when it 1022 00:53:52,960 --> 00:53:55,959 Speaker 6: comes to third down conversions. I don't have that number 1023 00:53:56,000 --> 00:53:58,440 Speaker 6: in front of me, but that would be my guess. 1024 00:53:58,840 --> 00:54:02,760 Speaker 6: So's it. He's in a tough situation right now because 1025 00:54:03,160 --> 00:54:06,640 Speaker 6: they get behind, and it's it's hard to play that way. 1026 00:54:06,920 --> 00:54:09,200 Speaker 6: You know. Sometimes they run the ball well. They actually 1027 00:54:09,280 --> 00:54:10,960 Speaker 6: ran the ball well a couple of weeks ago when 1028 00:54:11,000 --> 00:54:13,719 Speaker 6: Kamara had I think close to one hundred yards and 1029 00:54:14,040 --> 00:54:17,160 Speaker 6: and but that was not the case. This week was 1030 00:54:17,200 --> 00:54:20,000 Speaker 6: almost a game. As you said, Brownie, you've almost got 1031 00:54:20,040 --> 00:54:21,880 Speaker 6: to throw it out for the way it started. I mean, 1032 00:54:21,920 --> 00:54:24,640 Speaker 6: you can't. You can't play when it's twenty one nothing 1033 00:54:25,000 --> 00:54:27,400 Speaker 6: before you even seem like you're in the game. So 1034 00:54:27,960 --> 00:54:30,280 Speaker 6: it's hard to get a total read in three games. 1035 00:54:31,400 --> 00:54:31,600 Speaker 4: You know. 1036 00:54:31,680 --> 00:54:34,560 Speaker 6: I don't think that they're a terrible roster. I mean, 1037 00:54:34,560 --> 00:54:37,759 Speaker 6: that's the thing. If you look at their roster, I 1038 00:54:37,760 --> 00:54:39,839 Speaker 6: would have bet that people would thought that this old 1039 00:54:39,880 --> 00:54:42,520 Speaker 6: line going into this season would be a top ten 1040 00:54:42,600 --> 00:54:43,160 Speaker 6: o line. 1041 00:54:43,000 --> 00:54:43,759 Speaker 4: In the league at all. 1042 00:54:43,800 --> 00:54:44,239 Speaker 3: First round. 1043 00:54:44,280 --> 00:54:46,440 Speaker 6: You know, obviously they're starting the rookie you'd left tackle, 1044 00:54:46,520 --> 00:54:49,760 Speaker 6: and but he was a high pick who most people 1045 00:54:49,800 --> 00:54:52,040 Speaker 6: believe should be a high pick. But the rest of 1046 00:54:52,080 --> 00:54:53,960 Speaker 6: that old line is a pretty good old line. 1047 00:54:54,040 --> 00:54:56,000 Speaker 3: There's four first round picks on that old line. 1048 00:54:56,160 --> 00:54:58,920 Speaker 4: Yeah, I know, there's a lot of gifts. There's a 1049 00:54:58,960 --> 00:55:04,000 Speaker 4: lot of physical gifts up and it's no question. I 1050 00:55:04,000 --> 00:55:06,920 Speaker 4: got a question for you. You're looking at the Bill. 1051 00:55:07,000 --> 00:55:10,479 Speaker 4: The Bills are three and zero, obviously, and every team, 1052 00:55:10,520 --> 00:55:12,799 Speaker 4: now I'll say this, every team they've played, they have 1053 00:55:12,880 --> 00:55:14,560 Speaker 4: yet to play a team who has won a game 1054 00:55:14,600 --> 00:55:17,160 Speaker 4: at the time they played them. So it hasn't been 1055 00:55:17,440 --> 00:55:20,359 Speaker 4: it hasn't been a you know, looking like a tough 1056 00:55:20,360 --> 00:55:22,319 Speaker 4: schedule at least off the top. Except for that, they've 1057 00:55:22,320 --> 00:55:24,759 Speaker 4: been playing some pretty good teams. So the Bills can 1058 00:55:24,840 --> 00:55:27,719 Speaker 4: run the ball, they don't give up, they don't give 1059 00:55:27,800 --> 00:55:31,479 Speaker 4: up very many sacks. No, they don't turn it over. 1060 00:55:32,640 --> 00:55:35,480 Speaker 4: They score a ton of points and They also are 1061 00:55:35,520 --> 00:55:37,760 Speaker 4: top five in the league in big plays like plus 1062 00:55:38,040 --> 00:55:41,160 Speaker 4: plus twenty plus yard plays. I know it, short passes, 1063 00:55:41,239 --> 00:55:43,359 Speaker 4: long runs, and they don't look like over the top 1064 00:55:43,400 --> 00:55:45,120 Speaker 4: big plays, but they are top five. 1065 00:55:46,320 --> 00:55:47,760 Speaker 6: You know what, Steve, those counts. 1066 00:55:47,880 --> 00:55:51,920 Speaker 4: Yeah, they do count. And so I'm asking you, I guess, basically, 1067 00:55:52,680 --> 00:55:57,560 Speaker 4: how tough is this Bill's offense right now to beat? 1068 00:55:58,360 --> 00:56:00,279 Speaker 6: Well? I think one of the key things that every 1069 00:56:00,280 --> 00:56:02,880 Speaker 6: coach wants offensively, and we're kind of talking overview stuff 1070 00:56:02,880 --> 00:56:04,719 Speaker 6: here right now, is you want to be able to 1071 00:56:04,760 --> 00:56:07,120 Speaker 6: win in multiple ways. And Steve, you know that with 1072 00:56:07,200 --> 00:56:09,600 Speaker 6: the teams you were on in Buffalo, you could win 1073 00:56:09,719 --> 00:56:12,719 Speaker 6: any way the way any game demanded. You could win 1074 00:56:12,760 --> 00:56:14,920 Speaker 6: with Jim Kelly having to throw it forty times for 1075 00:56:14,960 --> 00:56:17,239 Speaker 6: three hundred and fifty yards. You can win giving the 1076 00:56:17,239 --> 00:56:20,120 Speaker 6: ball to Thrman Thomas twenty five times. You could play 1077 00:56:20,160 --> 00:56:23,640 Speaker 6: any way a particular game demanded. Correct, Wasn't that true 1078 00:56:23,640 --> 00:56:26,759 Speaker 6: of your team's Sure? Yeah, I mean I think the 1079 00:56:26,800 --> 00:56:29,520 Speaker 6: Bills are in that situation right now where they can 1080 00:56:29,600 --> 00:56:34,080 Speaker 6: win offensively any way a particular game demands. I mean, 1081 00:56:34,120 --> 00:56:36,200 Speaker 6: you look what happened Week one. All of a sudden 1082 00:56:36,200 --> 00:56:39,360 Speaker 6: they're down and you know, this week, everybody's complaining that 1083 00:56:39,400 --> 00:56:41,920 Speaker 6: the Bills don't throw the ball down the field. You know, 1084 00:56:42,080 --> 00:56:44,080 Speaker 6: I hear a lot of people talking about that. Well 1085 00:56:44,120 --> 00:56:46,439 Speaker 6: it seemed to be okay when they had to throw 1086 00:56:46,480 --> 00:56:48,719 Speaker 6: it a little down the field Week one, you know, 1087 00:56:48,760 --> 00:56:50,640 Speaker 6: and they were able and they won the game. So 1088 00:56:50,719 --> 00:56:54,640 Speaker 6: they can play offensively multiple ways and be effective. I mean, 1089 00:56:54,680 --> 00:56:56,759 Speaker 6: this is the team, and I know Josh Allen's a 1090 00:56:56,760 --> 00:56:58,960 Speaker 6: part of it to some degree, but they have the 1091 00:56:58,960 --> 00:57:01,680 Speaker 6: most rushing attempt in the league. So this is a 1092 00:57:01,719 --> 00:57:03,680 Speaker 6: team that can you know, I think they want to 1093 00:57:03,719 --> 00:57:05,600 Speaker 6: run the ball. Look look what they did in the 1094 00:57:05,680 --> 00:57:10,360 Speaker 6: last game against Miami out of thirteen personnel running the 1095 00:57:10,400 --> 00:57:13,000 Speaker 6: football and Brownie, I just go back to what you 1096 00:57:13,040 --> 00:57:15,359 Speaker 6: talked about in training camp, because you guys are there 1097 00:57:15,400 --> 00:57:18,840 Speaker 6: and I wasn't about Hawes and the value that he's 1098 00:57:18,880 --> 00:57:21,320 Speaker 6: going to bring to this offense. So now they have 1099 00:57:21,440 --> 00:57:24,120 Speaker 6: thirteen personnel as a I don't want to say it's 1100 00:57:24,120 --> 00:57:27,000 Speaker 6: a foundation, but they run meaningful plays out of it, 1101 00:57:27,120 --> 00:57:29,440 Speaker 6: and they've been running the ball really well out of it, 1102 00:57:29,480 --> 00:57:32,720 Speaker 6: as we saw against Miami. So they can play in 1103 00:57:32,840 --> 00:57:37,080 Speaker 6: multiple ways out of multiple personnel packages. There's more pre 1104 00:57:37,200 --> 00:57:40,520 Speaker 6: snap movement than ever with Joe Brady. This is really 1105 00:57:40,560 --> 00:57:44,040 Speaker 6: a multi dimensional offense that you almost forget that the 1106 00:57:44,120 --> 00:57:49,000 Speaker 6: quarterback when necessary can be special because he just plays 1107 00:57:49,040 --> 00:57:50,760 Speaker 6: the game the way the game demands. 1108 00:57:51,080 --> 00:57:55,720 Speaker 2: Here's a microcosm that would illustrate Steve's point with statistics 1109 00:57:56,640 --> 00:58:00,800 Speaker 2: in twelve and thirteen personnel this year, the Bills are 1110 00:58:00,840 --> 00:58:04,560 Speaker 2: averaging seven point two yards per carry that leads the league, 1111 00:58:05,360 --> 00:58:07,960 Speaker 2: and they are and they are ten for ten passing 1112 00:58:08,000 --> 00:58:10,280 Speaker 2: for eighty four yards in a touchdown in twelve and 1113 00:58:10,400 --> 00:58:13,560 Speaker 2: thirteen personnel. That gives you a picture as to how 1114 00:58:13,680 --> 00:58:18,200 Speaker 2: unstoppable this offense is right now. And with that in mind, Greg, 1115 00:58:18,320 --> 00:58:20,720 Speaker 2: I want to ask you this because we start the 1116 00:58:20,760 --> 00:58:24,960 Speaker 2: second half against the Dolphins and here comes Miami with 1117 00:58:25,080 --> 00:58:30,200 Speaker 2: a four to four front, four defensive tackles, two edge rushers, 1118 00:58:30,240 --> 00:58:33,960 Speaker 2: and two linebackers. And I know Joe Brady said, what 1119 00:58:34,080 --> 00:58:37,800 Speaker 2: the heck is this? But by the same token, the 1120 00:58:37,920 --> 00:58:42,360 Speaker 2: Saints did something very similar defensively to stop Seattle's run games. 1121 00:58:42,360 --> 00:58:46,200 Speaker 2: So my question to you is this, what level of 1122 00:58:46,480 --> 00:58:52,000 Speaker 2: shift are we witnessing right now by NFL defenses to 1123 00:58:52,160 --> 00:58:56,560 Speaker 2: combat the surge of powerful and effective run games. 1124 00:58:57,640 --> 00:59:01,280 Speaker 6: Well, that there has been a definite increase as well 1125 00:59:01,760 --> 00:59:04,720 Speaker 6: meaningful increase over the last four or five six years 1126 00:59:05,000 --> 00:59:07,760 Speaker 6: in the use of multiple tight end sets in the league. 1127 00:59:08,360 --> 00:59:10,840 Speaker 6: So now you're dealing and again it's not just the 1128 00:59:10,920 --> 00:59:13,480 Speaker 6: run game, although that's a major part of it, Brownie, 1129 00:59:13,760 --> 00:59:17,360 Speaker 6: but now you're seeing more and more teams line up 1130 00:59:17,440 --> 00:59:20,200 Speaker 6: in twelve personnel, meaning one back in two tight ends, 1131 00:59:20,320 --> 00:59:23,760 Speaker 6: and thirteen personnel one back in three tight ends. And 1132 00:59:23,920 --> 00:59:27,840 Speaker 6: if you have tight ends that are receivers, this really 1133 00:59:28,040 --> 00:59:30,520 Speaker 6: dictates to the defense as to how do they want 1134 00:59:30,560 --> 00:59:33,400 Speaker 6: to play this, because if they're going to stay base 1135 00:59:33,520 --> 00:59:35,280 Speaker 6: or if they're going to go in a sense heavy 1136 00:59:35,480 --> 00:59:39,439 Speaker 6: as you suggested, then they're very susceptible to the pass game. 1137 00:59:39,640 --> 00:59:42,840 Speaker 6: So if you line up, let's say with Hawes and Kincaid, 1138 00:59:43,160 --> 00:59:46,480 Speaker 6: just for the sake of discussion, in twelve personnel, one 1139 00:59:46,560 --> 00:59:49,480 Speaker 6: of those guys can line up anywhere in the formation 1140 00:59:49,640 --> 00:59:52,560 Speaker 6: and be a really good receiver because he's athletic. So 1141 00:59:52,720 --> 00:59:55,120 Speaker 6: now how do you deal with that? You know, if 1142 00:59:55,120 --> 01:00:00,520 Speaker 6: you're going to play with your base defense, the problem 1143 01:00:00,560 --> 01:00:02,600 Speaker 6: if you're going to line up in nickel, now the 1144 01:00:02,720 --> 01:00:05,480 Speaker 6: run game really becomes an issue. One thing I've really 1145 01:00:05,560 --> 01:00:08,240 Speaker 6: noticed this year, and this maybe not be the case 1146 01:00:08,280 --> 01:00:11,640 Speaker 6: with twelve and thirteen personnel, but I've really noticed how 1147 01:00:11,640 --> 01:00:15,520 Speaker 6: many more teams are running at the nickel. And that's 1148 01:00:15,520 --> 01:00:18,280 Speaker 6: something that's really stood out to me on film because 1149 01:00:18,440 --> 01:00:21,240 Speaker 6: very few nickels can really buck up and play the 1150 01:00:21,320 --> 01:00:24,400 Speaker 6: run game. And by the way, there are some defensive 1151 01:00:24,440 --> 01:00:26,800 Speaker 6: fronts in which the nickel has to be a b 1152 01:00:27,000 --> 01:00:29,800 Speaker 6: gap defender in the run game, and there's not many 1153 01:00:29,840 --> 01:00:32,240 Speaker 6: guys that can do that. But so you know, you're 1154 01:00:32,320 --> 01:00:33,160 Speaker 6: seeing go ahead. 1155 01:00:33,160 --> 01:00:36,080 Speaker 2: I'm sorry, I'm just say but we've seen teams pivot 1156 01:00:36,080 --> 01:00:37,960 Speaker 2: away from that. Just as early as two years ago, 1157 01:00:38,000 --> 01:00:40,480 Speaker 2: the Bills were ninety five percent nickel was their base defense. 1158 01:00:40,520 --> 01:00:43,200 Speaker 2: Taron Johnson has played the few snaps this season than 1159 01:00:43,240 --> 01:00:45,280 Speaker 2: we've seen in the last five years, and they're putting 1160 01:00:45,280 --> 01:00:47,120 Speaker 2: Dorian Willis and now it's the third linebacker on the 1161 01:00:47,160 --> 01:00:48,280 Speaker 2: field because of that very. 1162 01:00:48,160 --> 01:00:52,320 Speaker 6: Thing I know. And and so it depends on the 1163 01:00:52,320 --> 01:00:54,920 Speaker 6: team and how they want to play. But you know, 1164 01:00:55,680 --> 01:00:58,320 Speaker 6: I'll give you an example of the Seahawks last night. 1165 01:00:58,400 --> 01:01:03,120 Speaker 6: They played nickel on every snap, okay, every snap but one. 1166 01:01:03,480 --> 01:01:06,560 Speaker 6: And the reason they did it even though the Cards 1167 01:01:06,560 --> 01:01:09,560 Speaker 6: played with a pretty good percentage of twelve and thirteen 1168 01:01:09,640 --> 01:01:13,920 Speaker 6: personnel is because of Witherspoon is one of those guys 1169 01:01:13,960 --> 01:01:17,320 Speaker 6: that can really play the run exceptionally well and is 1170 01:01:17,400 --> 01:01:20,880 Speaker 6: super competitive and feisty and tough, you know. So it 1171 01:01:20,880 --> 01:01:23,840 Speaker 6: depends on who your nickel is. And then you don't 1172 01:01:23,880 --> 01:01:25,920 Speaker 6: feel like you're sure changed in the past game in 1173 01:01:25,960 --> 01:01:28,680 Speaker 6: your pass defense. So that's a case by case deal 1174 01:01:28,720 --> 01:01:31,960 Speaker 6: with each team. But you know, teams are clearly running 1175 01:01:32,000 --> 01:01:32,400 Speaker 6: the ball. 1176 01:01:33,200 --> 01:01:33,400 Speaker 4: You know. 1177 01:01:33,480 --> 01:01:37,040 Speaker 6: Look we saw last year. I think if I'm not mistaken, 1178 01:01:37,840 --> 01:01:40,240 Speaker 6: the stats become the stats and I live in this world, 1179 01:01:40,280 --> 01:01:42,840 Speaker 6: you know. But I think the top five rushing teams 1180 01:01:42,840 --> 01:01:45,120 Speaker 6: in the league last year made the playoffs. I think 1181 01:01:45,160 --> 01:01:47,360 Speaker 6: the top three or four rushing teams right now might 1182 01:01:47,400 --> 01:01:50,080 Speaker 6: be undefeated. Because I know that the Bills are number one. 1183 01:01:50,120 --> 01:01:52,440 Speaker 6: I know the Eagles, I think are three. I forget 1184 01:01:52,440 --> 01:01:58,360 Speaker 6: who's colts Indianapolis? Yeah, I mean the run game. Teams 1185 01:01:58,360 --> 01:02:01,000 Speaker 6: are beginning to understand that the run game is an 1186 01:02:01,000 --> 01:02:04,480 Speaker 6: important part of offense. Everybody got caught up, and believe me, 1187 01:02:04,600 --> 01:02:07,360 Speaker 6: offensive coaches still want this. Everybody got caught up and 1188 01:02:07,360 --> 01:02:10,440 Speaker 6: everything has to be an explosive play. But you know, 1189 01:02:10,880 --> 01:02:13,560 Speaker 6: a lot of coaches are starting to think more old 1190 01:02:13,560 --> 01:02:16,080 Speaker 6: school in the sense that it's a three and four 1191 01:02:16,200 --> 01:02:19,440 Speaker 6: quarter game and that you can set things up. I 1192 01:02:19,480 --> 01:02:21,600 Speaker 6: think we reached a stretch where coaches start to think 1193 01:02:21,960 --> 01:02:24,520 Speaker 6: everything was an individual play. Let's make a big play, 1194 01:02:24,920 --> 01:02:27,480 Speaker 6: but now let's go through a game and see how 1195 01:02:27,520 --> 01:02:30,880 Speaker 6: defenses react and react to that and build it up 1196 01:02:30,920 --> 01:02:32,040 Speaker 6: over the course of a game. 1197 01:02:32,560 --> 01:02:35,040 Speaker 4: Yeah, we talk about it a lot, and when we 1198 01:02:35,080 --> 01:02:37,200 Speaker 4: talk to you, we get into these x's and o's. 1199 01:02:37,240 --> 01:02:39,000 Speaker 4: You know where the nickel and how it matches up 1200 01:02:39,040 --> 01:02:41,320 Speaker 4: with a thirty I do too, But the more you 1201 01:02:41,400 --> 01:02:43,440 Speaker 4: talk about it, the more it reverts back the other way. 1202 01:02:43,480 --> 01:02:46,120 Speaker 4: It's not the x's and o's, it's the Jimmy's and 1203 01:02:46,160 --> 01:02:49,280 Speaker 4: the Joe's. Right, it's the players you've got. If you've 1204 01:02:49,280 --> 01:02:52,320 Speaker 4: got a nickel that can stand up to it, like 1205 01:02:52,360 --> 01:02:55,240 Speaker 4: the Bills had with Tarren Johnson, Hey we're playing nickel. 1206 01:02:55,320 --> 01:02:58,160 Speaker 4: If you don't, then you're a problem. If you get 1207 01:02:58,640 --> 01:03:01,600 Speaker 4: better player gets just in. Better players make you more 1208 01:03:01,640 --> 01:03:04,200 Speaker 4: flexible and more versatile and able to win more ways, 1209 01:03:04,680 --> 01:03:09,160 Speaker 4: which is why I think they're more and more tight 1210 01:03:09,280 --> 01:03:12,120 Speaker 4: ends coming into the league, and they're moving to the 1211 01:03:12,120 --> 01:03:14,040 Speaker 4: These guys are moving to the offensive side of the ball. 1212 01:03:14,040 --> 01:03:16,320 Speaker 4: You know, they're too big to play wide out. They're 1213 01:03:16,360 --> 01:03:19,760 Speaker 4: too big, right, they're too small to play offensive line. 1214 01:03:20,320 --> 01:03:23,360 Speaker 4: And they don't have either something out they don't play defense, 1215 01:03:23,440 --> 01:03:25,040 Speaker 4: or they're you know, they're kind of they can't play 1216 01:03:25,080 --> 01:03:28,840 Speaker 4: d line. So they you get more and more quality 1217 01:03:28,840 --> 01:03:30,520 Speaker 4: tight ends out of the college ranks and they got 1218 01:03:30,560 --> 01:03:32,000 Speaker 4: to find a place to use them in this and 1219 01:03:32,040 --> 01:03:34,320 Speaker 4: it puts the defense in a buying I think it's 1220 01:03:34,400 --> 01:03:37,440 Speaker 4: really fascinating to see this evolve with the players that 1221 01:03:37,520 --> 01:03:39,840 Speaker 4: the college game is given the pros. You know this, 1222 01:03:39,960 --> 01:03:43,880 Speaker 4: that guy McBride from from the Cardinals, the tight end, 1223 01:03:44,680 --> 01:03:46,200 Speaker 4: he's a fantastic player. 1224 01:03:47,240 --> 01:03:49,120 Speaker 6: And yeah, but you know, it's funny you mentioned that 1225 01:03:49,240 --> 01:03:52,480 Speaker 6: because the Bills haven't. But there's not many Jackson Hawes 1226 01:03:52,480 --> 01:03:55,800 Speaker 6: in college football because in college football, there's not that 1227 01:03:55,880 --> 01:03:59,520 Speaker 6: many tight ends that are attached, players that really are 1228 01:03:59,560 --> 01:04:01,240 Speaker 6: asked to block defensive ends. 1229 01:04:01,440 --> 01:04:01,640 Speaker 5: You know. 1230 01:04:01,680 --> 01:04:03,960 Speaker 6: And I've had this conversation with Ross Tucker on you 1231 01:04:03,960 --> 01:04:06,280 Speaker 6: guys know Ross And he was telling me, which I 1232 01:04:06,320 --> 01:04:09,280 Speaker 6: know from watching tape, what it means when you have 1233 01:04:09,360 --> 01:04:11,960 Speaker 6: a tight end who can be attached. Who can block 1234 01:04:12,080 --> 01:04:14,840 Speaker 6: defensive ends and Steve you know all about this. Who 1235 01:04:14,920 --> 01:04:18,120 Speaker 6: can block defensive ends or outside backers if it's a 1236 01:04:18,120 --> 01:04:20,439 Speaker 6: five to two front in the game, one on one, 1237 01:04:20,840 --> 01:04:22,640 Speaker 6: if they can If if you have a tight end 1238 01:04:22,680 --> 01:04:24,920 Speaker 6: that can block a defensive end one on one in 1239 01:04:24,920 --> 01:04:28,040 Speaker 6: the run game, that opens up so much more that 1240 01:04:28,080 --> 01:04:29,240 Speaker 6: you can do in your run game. 1241 01:04:30,160 --> 01:04:31,760 Speaker 4: I want it. Yeah. That's also one of the reason 1242 01:04:31,800 --> 01:04:33,560 Speaker 4: Daniel Lobsky came out SA. That's one of the reasons 1243 01:04:33,560 --> 01:04:35,800 Speaker 4: the Bill's run game can be so creative is because 1244 01:04:35,800 --> 01:04:37,400 Speaker 4: they've got that guy at the end of the line 1245 01:04:37,400 --> 01:04:40,040 Speaker 4: of scrimmage or Lobbsy said, the Bill's running games the 1246 01:04:40,080 --> 01:04:42,480 Speaker 4: most creative he's seen in the National Football League. That's 1247 01:04:42,520 --> 01:04:44,439 Speaker 4: probably a reason why or one reason why. 1248 01:04:44,800 --> 01:04:45,000 Speaker 3: Yep. 1249 01:04:45,360 --> 01:04:47,680 Speaker 6: Yeah, because it allows you to do so much more, 1250 01:04:47,880 --> 01:04:50,480 Speaker 6: you know, because how many times do well when I'm 1251 01:04:50,520 --> 01:04:53,200 Speaker 6: watching tape, do I see that? I'm trying to figure 1252 01:04:53,200 --> 01:04:55,800 Speaker 6: out why are they not getting to the second level 1253 01:04:55,840 --> 01:04:58,360 Speaker 6: the way they need to to block a second level player, 1254 01:04:58,400 --> 01:05:03,600 Speaker 6: normally a linebacker, And that's because they need the tackle 1255 01:05:03,680 --> 01:05:06,400 Speaker 6: to basically block a defensive end. If you have a 1256 01:05:06,440 --> 01:05:08,600 Speaker 6: tight end that can do that, you can get to 1257 01:05:08,640 --> 01:05:11,760 Speaker 6: the second level so much better. And you know, I 1258 01:05:11,760 --> 01:05:15,160 Speaker 6: think the Bills are certainly in that situation with Jackson Hawes, who, 1259 01:05:15,160 --> 01:05:17,320 Speaker 6: as I mentioned to you before, when I watched film 1260 01:05:17,600 --> 01:05:19,720 Speaker 6: of the tight ends coming into the draft, he was, 1261 01:05:19,760 --> 01:05:22,480 Speaker 6: without questioning, the best block and tight end that was 1262 01:05:22,480 --> 01:05:23,000 Speaker 6: coming out. 1263 01:05:23,600 --> 01:05:26,000 Speaker 2: Greg, I wanted to get your thoughts on what is 1264 01:05:26,200 --> 01:05:31,120 Speaker 2: a revamped Saints' secondary. We know, you know because obviously 1265 01:05:31,160 --> 01:05:36,520 Speaker 2: they they trade. He's gonna his name miscakes me. The 1266 01:05:36,520 --> 01:05:39,080 Speaker 2: corner went to Washington in a trade late last year, their. 1267 01:05:38,920 --> 01:05:41,520 Speaker 6: Former number, and they lost the debo right. 1268 01:05:41,560 --> 01:05:45,840 Speaker 2: And then Tyron Matthew up and retires in the off season, 1269 01:05:46,520 --> 01:05:49,560 Speaker 2: so they signed Julian Blackman, but he goes on ir 1270 01:05:49,800 --> 01:05:52,680 Speaker 2: early in the season. And now you've got rookie Jonas 1271 01:05:52,760 --> 01:05:56,880 Speaker 2: Sanker alongside Justin Reid who's a new free agent signee 1272 01:05:56,920 --> 01:06:00,280 Speaker 2: but a veteran player, and Alonte Taylor and mckin's on 1273 01:06:00,320 --> 01:06:02,920 Speaker 2: the outside. What do you make of this secondary? Where 1274 01:06:02,920 --> 01:06:04,960 Speaker 2: do you feel they're vulnerable if anywhere? 1275 01:06:06,560 --> 01:06:09,400 Speaker 6: Well, it's funny because I think I think that they're 1276 01:06:09,440 --> 01:06:12,560 Speaker 6: actually more vulnerable when they play their nickel because they're 1277 01:06:12,600 --> 01:06:15,280 Speaker 6: playing Isaac Yattam at the other corner. You know, when 1278 01:06:15,280 --> 01:06:19,760 Speaker 6: they're nickel because Taylor moves inside Alante Taylor plays outside 1279 01:06:19,800 --> 01:06:22,680 Speaker 6: in their base, but it's slot in their nickel, and 1280 01:06:22,760 --> 01:06:25,760 Speaker 6: I think they're actually more vulnerable when they're in their nickel. 1281 01:06:25,800 --> 01:06:29,000 Speaker 6: But again, you know, Sanker was a player out of 1282 01:06:29,080 --> 01:06:31,440 Speaker 6: Virginia that I that I liked coming out. You know, 1283 01:06:31,480 --> 01:06:33,959 Speaker 6: I thought he was an aggressive, kind of downhill guy. 1284 01:06:34,200 --> 01:06:36,400 Speaker 6: It's always tough to get a read in college how 1285 01:06:36,440 --> 01:06:38,960 Speaker 6: he's going to react to, you know, a true NFL 1286 01:06:39,040 --> 01:06:42,400 Speaker 6: passing game, So that's sometimes tough to tell. But you know, 1287 01:06:42,440 --> 01:06:46,160 Speaker 6: it's funny you mentioned their defense. Their defense has pretty 1288 01:06:46,160 --> 01:06:49,960 Speaker 6: good players. I mean it's they're no team right now 1289 01:06:50,000 --> 01:06:53,160 Speaker 6: because I agree with Steve when I don't think Rattler's 1290 01:06:53,200 --> 01:06:55,840 Speaker 6: the problem. And their defense, if you look at their 1291 01:06:55,880 --> 01:06:58,640 Speaker 6: front group, let's take their front group when they're in nickel, 1292 01:06:58,840 --> 01:07:02,080 Speaker 6: just for sake of discos, they've got some pretty good players. 1293 01:07:02,200 --> 01:07:05,480 Speaker 6: Brian Barci is a really good player. He's exactly what 1294 01:07:05,560 --> 01:07:08,440 Speaker 6: you want at the detackle position. To Mario Davis, it 1295 01:07:08,440 --> 01:07:10,800 Speaker 6: seems like he's been playing for one hundred years. He's 1296 01:07:10,800 --> 01:07:13,920 Speaker 6: still a quality player. Warner is a really solid player. 1297 01:07:14,160 --> 01:07:17,400 Speaker 6: Grandison is a solid player. I mean this front group, 1298 01:07:17,760 --> 01:07:20,440 Speaker 6: you know, and and Cam Jordan is still there playing 1299 01:07:20,480 --> 01:07:24,240 Speaker 6: meaningful snaps. This is not a bad front group at all. So, 1300 01:07:24,920 --> 01:07:27,440 Speaker 6: you know, it's just who knows how the season is 1301 01:07:27,440 --> 01:07:31,200 Speaker 6: going to progress. But this is not necessarily an easy 1302 01:07:31,280 --> 01:07:33,040 Speaker 6: defense to play against. 1303 01:07:33,200 --> 01:07:37,040 Speaker 4: Right, and is the strength? The strength is upfront, defensively 1304 01:07:37,080 --> 01:07:39,960 Speaker 4: correct upfront. Yeah, and I guess it's Chase young Do 1305 01:07:40,080 --> 01:07:43,680 Speaker 4: to be back this week. I saw that as Yeah, 1306 01:07:43,760 --> 01:07:44,640 Speaker 4: he's been out of practice. 1307 01:07:44,680 --> 01:07:46,880 Speaker 6: Oh he hasn't. Okay, earlier in the week they said 1308 01:07:46,880 --> 01:07:48,360 Speaker 6: he would, so then he won't be back. 1309 01:07:48,640 --> 01:07:49,520 Speaker 4: He doesn't look like it. 1310 01:07:50,840 --> 01:07:55,040 Speaker 6: But no, but Berci and you'll see. I mean, I'm sure, Brownie, 1311 01:07:55,080 --> 01:07:57,280 Speaker 6: you've taken a look at their defense. Braci is a 1312 01:07:57,320 --> 01:07:58,520 Speaker 6: really good football player. 1313 01:07:59,200 --> 01:08:01,160 Speaker 4: We'll flip it over talk about their offense a little bit. 1314 01:08:01,240 --> 01:08:06,880 Speaker 4: Chris Olave, Yeah, Brandon Cooks, Rashid Shaheed. I thought Shahid 1315 01:08:06,960 --> 01:08:09,880 Speaker 4: has had some pretty good moments this season for the 1316 01:08:09,960 --> 01:08:12,640 Speaker 4: Sas and run. 1317 01:08:13,160 --> 01:08:14,040 Speaker 6: He's a guy again. 1318 01:08:14,600 --> 01:08:14,840 Speaker 4: You know. 1319 01:08:15,120 --> 01:08:17,240 Speaker 6: The thing is, you know, everybody just looks at some 1320 01:08:17,280 --> 01:08:20,400 Speaker 6: of these teams and assumes they're bad. The thing is, though, 1321 01:08:20,800 --> 01:08:23,000 Speaker 6: and Steve, you know, this. Any NFL team can beat 1322 01:08:23,040 --> 01:08:25,360 Speaker 6: you any given a week. It's it's the NFL. You know, 1323 01:08:25,439 --> 01:08:28,559 Speaker 6: Shahed is one of those guys. There's maybe three or 1324 01:08:28,600 --> 01:08:30,599 Speaker 6: four him in the league. And I'm being honest here 1325 01:08:30,640 --> 01:08:34,120 Speaker 6: just from film study, that have terrifying speed. You know, 1326 01:08:34,200 --> 01:08:36,400 Speaker 6: Jamison Williams is one of those guys. You know, there's 1327 01:08:36,439 --> 01:08:37,760 Speaker 6: a lot of guys we say always a four to 1328 01:08:37,840 --> 01:08:40,400 Speaker 6: three guys fast. But you know, as you know Steve, 1329 01:08:40,479 --> 01:08:43,559 Speaker 6: not everybody plays like that. You know, Shaheed's one of 1330 01:08:43,600 --> 01:08:46,880 Speaker 6: those guys like that. He's got terrifying speed. And the 1331 01:08:46,960 --> 01:08:49,000 Speaker 6: last thing you know you won is all of a sudden, 1332 01:08:49,040 --> 01:08:51,840 Speaker 6: you know, he catches a seventy yard touchdown, which you 1333 01:08:51,840 --> 01:08:55,360 Speaker 6: know he can do, and and you know a lave. Unfortunately, 1334 01:08:55,439 --> 01:08:58,599 Speaker 6: he's battle concussions. You know, he's had a few really 1335 01:08:58,720 --> 01:09:02,280 Speaker 6: uncharacteristic dry this year. You know, so I don't know 1336 01:09:02,320 --> 01:09:04,920 Speaker 6: what his his mental health is. I mean, you know, 1337 01:09:04,960 --> 01:09:07,680 Speaker 6: he had two really bad concussions a year ago. But 1338 01:09:07,840 --> 01:09:10,479 Speaker 6: he's I mean, at his best, he's a terrific receiver 1339 01:09:10,800 --> 01:09:13,439 Speaker 6: and coax. Wherever he goes, he produces. So it's not 1340 01:09:13,560 --> 01:09:16,800 Speaker 6: a bad receiving corps. And like I said, you look 1341 01:09:16,840 --> 01:09:19,920 Speaker 6: at this old line. I mean, this is actually a 1342 01:09:20,000 --> 01:09:25,080 Speaker 6: really good old line. And so I you know, look, 1343 01:09:25,120 --> 01:09:27,479 Speaker 6: it's a new coach, it's a new coaching staff. They're 1344 01:09:27,520 --> 01:09:30,320 Speaker 6: giving the job to Rattler, you know, obviously played some 1345 01:09:30,520 --> 01:09:33,600 Speaker 6: last year, but it's a you know, he's theoretically a 1346 01:09:33,600 --> 01:09:37,200 Speaker 6: full time starter. Now, this stuff takes time with the 1347 01:09:37,240 --> 01:09:40,479 Speaker 6: new staff, so we'll see it. You know. You know 1348 01:09:40,520 --> 01:09:42,840 Speaker 6: how sometimes what happens, guys, is all of a sudden, 1349 01:09:42,880 --> 01:09:45,960 Speaker 6: it's week six. You hope it's not this week that 1350 01:09:46,040 --> 01:09:47,960 Speaker 6: a team all of a sudden starts to look different 1351 01:09:47,960 --> 01:09:49,240 Speaker 6: because it starts to come together. 1352 01:09:49,680 --> 01:09:53,360 Speaker 2: Right, Greg, Thanks as always appreciate the insight. We'll catch 1353 01:09:53,439 --> 01:09:54,160 Speaker 2: up with you next week. 1354 01:09:55,240 --> 01:09:58,000 Speaker 6: But that was a fun conversation, guys, really appreciated.

Jacob says or asks, should the 1637 01:24:35,160 --> 01:24:37,400 Speaker 2: Bills play more up tempo early in games with the 1638 01:24:37,400 --> 01:24:39,800 Speaker 2: goal of more possessions each game once the game is 1639 01:24:39,800 --> 01:24:42,720 Speaker 2: well in hand, then play ball control and run out 1640 01:24:42,720 --> 01:24:45,080 Speaker 2: the clock. Bills have to average more points per possession 1641 01:24:45,520 --> 01:24:49,080 Speaker 2: than most teams. I guess this guy's not terribly confident 1642 01:24:49,400 --> 01:24:51,000 Speaker 2: in Buffalo's defense right now. 1643 01:24:52,160 --> 01:24:55,280 Speaker 4: That has been their mode of operational though. What happened 1644 01:24:55,280 --> 01:24:58,639 Speaker 4: whether they go fast or slow, what they do watch 1645 01:24:58,800 --> 01:25:01,760 Speaker 4: is how many points they're getting out of their early 1646 01:25:01,840 --> 01:25:03,800 Speaker 4: drives in the game. Once they start scoring, and they 1647 01:25:03,840 --> 01:25:05,840 Speaker 4: do a lot. They are very efficient in the first 1648 01:25:05,840 --> 01:25:09,599 Speaker 4: half of games to scoring on three out of four 1649 01:25:09,680 --> 01:25:13,479 Speaker 4: possessions or four out of six possessions. They're scoring in 1650 01:25:13,479 --> 01:25:16,479 Speaker 4: the first half that kind of percentage, and then if 1651 01:25:16,520 --> 01:25:20,639 Speaker 4: the other team can't keep up, they slow it up 1652 01:25:21,000 --> 01:25:23,160 Speaker 4: and they shorten the game in the back end, so 1653 01:25:23,160 --> 01:25:24,240 Speaker 4: they don't get enough possessions. 1654 01:25:24,240 --> 01:25:26,799 Speaker 2: I think there's another way to look at this, Jacob, 1655 01:25:26,840 --> 01:25:29,720 Speaker 2: And that is if you use ball control from the 1656 01:25:29,840 --> 01:25:32,120 Speaker 2: very beginning and you are as efficient as the Bills 1657 01:25:32,120 --> 01:25:35,040 Speaker 2: are and you can sustain ten to twelve plays scoring drives, 1658 01:25:35,560 --> 01:25:40,840 Speaker 2: you're also reducing your opponent's possessions. So there are two 1659 01:25:40,880 --> 01:25:42,600 Speaker 2: ways to look at that. Go fast, so you have 1660 01:25:42,680 --> 01:25:45,360 Speaker 2: more possessions, but in turn, you're probably given more to 1661 01:25:45,400 --> 01:25:47,920 Speaker 2: the opponent. So if you're a little squeamish about how 1662 01:25:47,920 --> 01:25:49,760 Speaker 2: the defense is playing right now, you might prefer to 1663 01:25:49,800 --> 01:25:53,639 Speaker 2: hold on it to it and take some clock consuming drives. 1664 01:25:54,160 --> 01:25:56,160 Speaker 2: So you might have only nine or ten possessions in 1665 01:25:56,200 --> 01:25:58,080 Speaker 2: the game, But chances are if you're going ten twelve 1666 01:25:58,080 --> 01:26:00,599 Speaker 2: plays every time you have the ball, the team's probably 1667 01:26:00,600 --> 01:26:02,720 Speaker 2: only getting seven or eight maybe nine. 1668 01:26:03,520 --> 01:26:07,920 Speaker 4: Yeah, And if and there no time here, here's a 1669 01:26:08,040 --> 01:26:10,719 Speaker 4: thing that goes unnoticed as well. The Bills offense rarely 1670 01:26:10,720 --> 01:26:14,439 Speaker 4: takes itself off the field, and when it does, and 1671 01:26:14,479 --> 01:26:18,120 Speaker 4: it so they're pushing the ball down and they're they're 1672 01:26:18,120 --> 01:26:22,080 Speaker 4: scoring on a you said it there. They're points per 1673 01:26:22,160 --> 01:26:24,960 Speaker 4: drive is like three and a half four points. Uh, 1674 01:26:25,120 --> 01:26:29,800 Speaker 4: that's high. Other teams take themselves off. They drop a 1675 01:26:29,840 --> 01:26:31,880 Speaker 4: pass on third down, or they drop it and we haven't. 1676 01:26:32,000 --> 01:26:34,599 Speaker 4: We didn't see that against uh, the Dolphins, but against 1677 01:26:34,600 --> 01:26:36,840 Speaker 4: the Jets, we did that. The Jets took themselves off 1678 01:26:36,880 --> 01:26:40,160 Speaker 4: the field and and also kept the Bills on the 1679 01:26:40,160 --> 01:26:42,880 Speaker 4: field a couple of times with penalties. That all goes 1680 01:26:42,880 --> 01:26:43,439 Speaker 4: into the mix. 1681 01:26:43,479 --> 01:26:45,280 Speaker 2: And when you score on those drives and then they 1682 01:26:45,280 --> 01:26:47,120 Speaker 2: take themselves off the field and you're going down, you 1683 01:26:47,120 --> 01:26:48,920 Speaker 2: score again, it's a two and all of a sudden, 1684 01:26:48,960 --> 01:26:49,840 Speaker 2: it's a two score game. 1685 01:26:51,040 --> 01:26:53,000 Speaker 4: Now they're playing catchup and they're gonna run out of 1686 01:26:53,160 --> 01:26:54,559 Speaker 4: possessions because you're you. 1687 01:26:54,640 --> 01:26:56,479 Speaker 2: They still haven't stopped you, and you go go down, 1688 01:26:56,560 --> 01:26:58,080 Speaker 2: get another point, and they got to keep up. 1689 01:26:58,080 --> 01:26:59,519 Speaker 4: They got to keep up, and they got to keep up. 1690 01:27:00,240 --> 01:27:01,080 Speaker 3: Gotta take a break. 1691 01:27:01,080 --> 01:27:04,360 Speaker 2: Here a couple of last few questions from the obl 1692 01:27:04,479 --> 01:27:06,479 Speaker 2: Friday fan mail bag when we return here on one 1693 01:27:06,520 --> 01:27:21,120 Speaker 2: Bill's Live Stay with Us Vision to Victory presented by 1694 01:27:21,120 --> 01:27:23,160 Speaker 2: a Well Eye Care, the official ie care provider of 1695 01:27:23,160 --> 01:27:26,600 Speaker 2: the Buffalo Bills. I think this is a pretty straightforward 1696 01:27:26,600 --> 01:27:31,080 Speaker 2: idea here, Steve, Bills have to focus on themselves more 1697 01:27:31,120 --> 01:27:33,680 Speaker 2: than their opponent. You hear the coaches talk about it 1698 01:27:33,720 --> 01:27:35,760 Speaker 2: all the time. We just have to take care of 1699 01:27:35,800 --> 01:27:39,800 Speaker 2: our business, our plan, our execution, and when we look 1700 01:27:39,880 --> 01:27:42,680 Speaker 2: up at the end of the game, we should be 1701 01:27:42,720 --> 01:27:45,600 Speaker 2: good on the scoreboard. It's funny. I was talking to 1702 01:27:45,680 --> 01:27:49,280 Speaker 2: Joe Brady this week and we'll hear his pregame interview 1703 01:27:49,400 --> 01:27:52,960 Speaker 2: on the Bills Radio Network leading up to kickoff, and 1704 01:27:53,040 --> 01:27:55,960 Speaker 2: he said, they tell their players do not look at 1705 01:27:55,960 --> 01:27:59,960 Speaker 2: the scoreboard. We're so locked in on executing our plan 1706 01:28:00,000 --> 01:28:02,679 Speaker 2: in our plays, we don't even look at the scoreboard. 1707 01:28:02,720 --> 01:28:06,719 Speaker 2: Now do players do that, probably, But that's the mantra, 1708 01:28:07,280 --> 01:28:08,439 Speaker 2: and I find that interesting. 1709 01:28:09,600 --> 01:28:12,800 Speaker 3: It is because he has to call plays sometimes based 1710 01:28:12,840 --> 01:28:14,320 Speaker 3: on score and time left in the game. 1711 01:28:14,479 --> 01:28:18,599 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a great message, although and practically speaking, it's 1712 01:28:18,640 --> 01:28:21,640 Speaker 4: a little unreasonable to expect, but I get the message. 1713 01:28:22,360 --> 01:28:26,080 Speaker 4: Just play, just do your job, show up, execute and 1714 01:28:26,120 --> 01:28:27,760 Speaker 4: it's going to be fine. And that that's been the 1715 01:28:27,800 --> 01:28:30,679 Speaker 4: mantra we've heard coming out of you know, the locker 1716 01:28:30,760 --> 01:28:33,400 Speaker 4: room and what we've been saying about the mindset that 1717 01:28:33,400 --> 01:28:36,960 Speaker 4: the team has. You know, you're facing a struggling team. 1718 01:28:37,000 --> 01:28:39,480 Speaker 4: They're not playing very well. They got it, they're rebuilding, 1719 01:28:39,520 --> 01:28:42,040 Speaker 4: they got a young quarterback, all that stuff. It doesn't matter. 1720 01:28:42,080 --> 01:28:44,800 Speaker 4: You're getting ready to play. Get ready, to play like 1721 01:28:44,800 --> 01:28:46,600 Speaker 4: you did last week and the week before. Get do 1722 01:28:46,800 --> 01:28:51,760 Speaker 4: your you know process, do your process and trust it. 1723 01:28:52,040 --> 01:28:54,160 Speaker 4: And when you show up, the results will be what 1724 01:28:54,200 --> 01:28:57,280 Speaker 4: you expect. But you just get ready to play like 1725 01:28:57,320 --> 01:28:59,960 Speaker 4: you get ready to play and trust. 1726 01:29:00,960 --> 01:29:04,200 Speaker 2: Saints' final injury report is out for Sunday's game against 1727 01:29:04,200 --> 01:29:07,120 Speaker 2: the Bills, and it has the following.

Questionable wide receiver Devon Velay, who is the 1731 01:29:17,680 --> 01:29:21,360 Speaker 2: receiver that they acquired via trade right before the season 1732 01:29:21,360 --> 01:29:23,559 Speaker 2: from the Broncos for a fourth round pick next year 1733 01:29:23,560 --> 01:29:26,639 Speaker 2: and a seventh round pick in twenty seven six' five, 1734 01:29:26,760 --> 01:29:30,240 Speaker 2: target and he's got a hip.
