1
00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:09,639
Speaker 1: Put down at a Steve Caster who has been all

2
00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:12,360
Speaker 1: over the field. He was out of a dual role

3
00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:18,919
Speaker 1: fighter for you, hedeed a blimp. We're not even in

4
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:30,880
Speaker 1: the credit Beard of normalcy. This is fifty seven yards

5
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:34,320
Speaker 1: for Bass. Stamp is good. The kick is on the way.

6
00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:38,479
Speaker 1: It looks long enough. It is good. Fifty seven yards

7
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:41,920
Speaker 1: fifty seven yard field goal for Tyler Bass. The Bills

8
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 1: taken early. League takes the stamp and it's the snap

9
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:47,480
Speaker 1: is missfired. The Bills are gonna recover. It's fountain around.

10
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:49,920
Speaker 1: They're picking up. The Bills have the football like a

11
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:52,520
Speaker 1: hide has it. He starts up field and he's finally

12
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 1: gonna be knocked out of bounds. And now they're pushing

13
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:57,960
Speaker 1: a shoven just as you predicted. Eric takes the sin,

14
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 1: picks the handoff, dance away from pressure, still getting away

15
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 1: from it. Fire to the end zone, then wide open touchdown,

16
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 1: touchdown Buffalo Gabriel Davis with a touchdown Alan Tiggs and

17
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:11,560
Speaker 1: the throwing down the middle, cluck my digs h the

18
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:17,040
Speaker 1: five cruises into the end zone. Touchdown Buffalo, step on Diggs.

19
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:22,280
Speaker 1: A nineteen yard strike from Josh Allen, touchdown Bills, second

20
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:24,960
Speaker 1: and goal at the one. Dolphins run it again, and

21
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 1: this time they are into the end zone. Touchdown Miami.

22
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:31,320
Speaker 1: Now the two point conversion attempt to a waiting for

23
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:34,400
Speaker 1: the Snamp takes it, keeps it, throws it. Got am

24
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:38,399
Speaker 1: a wide open caught conversion complete Mike Kiseki wide open

25
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 1: third and twenty six. The stamp Tuckablo as a pocket

26
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 1: guns it downfield. They intercepted, picked up My Poyer at

27
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 1: the thirty yard line, up to the twenty to the

28
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 1: fifteen along the first sideline and wrestled out of bounds

29
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 1: at the eleven yard line. Jordan Poyer makes the interception,

30
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 1: seals the deal for the Buffalo Bills. Play action fake

31
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 1: Josh keeps it, runs to his right, gonna give it himself.

32
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 1: I'm gonna try to get in the end zone Tights

33
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 1: in touchdown buffaball that will end it. Josh Allen a

34
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 1: seven yard touchdown runner on the right side, No doubt

35
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 1: about it. All right. That is your Toeshiba game rewind,

36
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 1: brought to you by Toshiba. Good job as the Bills

37
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 1: extend their division winning streak to eight games, Steve seven

38
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 1: straight over the Dolphins as well so rolling as far

39
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 1: as AFC East opponents. Go. But we'll be talking about

40
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 1: the Patriots a little bit later in the show, Steve.

41
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 1: They are finding a rhythm. Yeah, and as we predicted,

42
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 1: they will be a better team in November and December

43
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 1: than they were in September and October. But that's for later.

44
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:56,360
Speaker 1: For now, we discussed the bills twenty six eleven victory

45
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 1: on Sunday to complete the series sweep of the Dolphins.

46
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:01,359
Speaker 1: What is this the second year in a row they've

47
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 1: done that? Or is it the third? I didn't need

48
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 1: I forgot to look that up. They did it last year.

49
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 1: Three in a row, three years in a row. They

50
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 1: play him twice a year. Yeah, because they've won seven

51
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 1: straight against the Dolphins. When's their last loss? It was

52
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 1: the Charles Clay drop game, which was twenty eighteen. And

53
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 1: that was twenty eighteen. Yeah, yeah, so last three years

54
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 1: in a row, season sweep. Good lord, good lord, that's

55
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:27,360
Speaker 1: got of getting old for the Dolphin fans, my word.

56
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 1: All right, Well, hey, everybody, thanks for joining us. Yes,

59
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 1: going on? Boy, we're a little spoiled. Then I guess

60
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 1: more than anything else. Yeah, Chris Brown, Steve's tasker here

Speaker 1: we welcome your calls. Eight three five fifty one eighty

94
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 1: eight five fifty two, five fifty. I will say in

95
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:32,160
Speaker 1: the early going, Steve, it was a defensive battle and

96
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 1: an offensive struggle. Yeah, absolutely, I think the Bills showed.

97
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,039
Speaker 1: And I said this in Bill tonight after the game

98
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:42,720
Speaker 1: with Maddie. But I don't know what you think about it.

99
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 1: We haven't really spoken about what you thought the issues were.

100
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 1: There's a couple of issues going on in the first

101
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 1: half for the Bills offense I'm talking about, and for

102
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 1: the Miami other side of the ball too, but for

103
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:53,719
Speaker 1: the Bill's offense and the one thing that didn't show

104
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:55,599
Speaker 1: up because they only scored three points in the first half.

105
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 1: The Dolphins sent a lot of pressure in the first half,

106
00:05:57,720 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 1: and I think it worked to their advantage for a

107
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:04,040
Speaker 1: couple of reasons. One is they're good. Secondly, the Bill's

108
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 1: offensive line had three guys playing at different spots than

109
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 1: they did the week before, and they didn't know they

110
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 1: were gonna It wasn't like they had the bye week

111
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:12,040
Speaker 1: to get ready, and he said, well, yeah they did. No,

112
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:15,360
Speaker 1: they didn't. Spencer Brown didn't get hurt till like Wednesday afternoon,

113
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 1: so they didn't know they were gonna have a shuffled

114
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 1: offensive line until a practice and a half before the game.

115
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 1: So they go in with John Feliciano in a different spot,

116
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:30,279
Speaker 1: Darryl Williams in a different spot, and I Butcker playing

117
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 1: which he wasn't going to do. So that put him

118
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 1: in a bind. When the Dolphins came out and started

119
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:40,040
Speaker 1: flipping some things around and doing some things that they

120
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:42,840
Speaker 1: It's like those guys didn't know what each other was

121
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 1: talking about, well that and it showed Yeah, I'm talking

122
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:48,280
Speaker 1: about the offensive line. And we should note that on

123
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 1: Wednesday at practice, their five man alignment without Spencer Brown

124
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:55,120
Speaker 1: was different than what we saw at the end of

125
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:59,040
Speaker 1: the week on Friday. So they filled in where they

126
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,799
Speaker 1: had a hole, and then they changed the line combination

127
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:04,480
Speaker 1: again on Thursday or Friday. I believe I think when

128
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 1: it became more and more obvious that Brown was not

129
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 1: gonna be back, like it was gonna be like it

130
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 1: wasn't one day and you know it's not a two

131
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 1: day thing either. Okay, now what are we gonna do

132
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 1: really not just to get through practice, but now we're

133
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 1: gonna hit the game, and that forced some different decisions.

134
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 1: Tell me your thoughts on this. We talked to Great

135
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 1: co Sell last Friday. He was of the opinion that

136
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 1: the bill that the Dolphins would be playing a little

137
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 1: more zone defense, which they did. More importantly, though, were

138
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 1: there front seven personnel combinations. There were plays third down

139
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 1: in particular, where they would have two down linemen and

140
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 1: three linebackers and dime in the back, you know, six dbs.

141
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 1: There were times where they had one down linemen, three

142
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 1: linebackers and seven DBS. I come out of the press

143
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 1: box at halftime just to go to say hi to

144
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 1: my wife and my son who were at the game,

145
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 1: kind of catch up with him a halftime, talked to

146
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 1: him for a few minutes. I've got fans livid walking

147
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 1: by me. What the hell's wrong with these guys? This

148
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 1: is terrible. It's like, what do you want him to do? Ah,

149
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 1: they're not throwing deep? How do you want him to

150
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 1: throw deep on seven defensive backs? Like, what are you

151
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 1: watching the game? Yeah, you can't do it. Yeah, people

152
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 1: were bitter. It's reckless if you people were bitter. But

153
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 1: the simple fact the matter was Miami had a really

154
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 1: nice game plan and they executed it really well, and

155
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 1: you could tell that they were doing something differently than

156
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:36,719
Speaker 1: the Bills had seen or be able to prepare for,

157
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:41,560
Speaker 1: because whenever you see Josh kind of put his hands

158
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 1: out and stop everything and walk up to the line

159
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 1: of scrimmage and start pointing guys out, that means they,

160
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 1: wait a minute, here, they're doing something funky and so.

161
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 1: And he had to do that on a handful of

162
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 1: the cases during the first half, because you know, the

163
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 1: personnel was something they didn't know, so he had to

164
00:08:57,360 --> 00:08:59,200
Speaker 1: make sure they knew the exact guy they were talking about,

165
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 1: because that guy never been there before or not in

166
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:05,199
Speaker 1: their preparation. So that's so that would give you one

167
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 1: clue is to think that the Dolphins were doing some

168
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:09,679
Speaker 1: stuff that the Bills just didn't have a handle. And

169
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 1: that was the exact question that I asked Dion Dawkins

170
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 1: after the game. I said, how was the communication up

171
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 1: front with all of the different personnel groupings that the

172
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 1: Dolphins were throwing at you with either their front five

173
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 1: or their front six, depending on how many DBS they

174
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 1: had on the field. And he said, they do a

175
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:31,960
Speaker 1: lot of stuff and we practiced it during the week

176
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 1: in terms of identifying the different numbers, he says, because

177
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:39,559
Speaker 1: they will put big guys in little guy positions and

178
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:43,200
Speaker 1: little guys in big guy positions to cross you up.

179
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 1: You know, you're not sure who you have in the

180
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:51,960
Speaker 1: protection and because you have different players in unusual roles

181
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:55,319
Speaker 1: up at the line of scrimmage, it messes with guys, right,

182
00:09:55,800 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 1: and it affects the communication the sure five, your nature

183
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 1: of what guys are communicating. It's like, well, this guy's

184
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 1: number six, he's a safety um. But I think he's

185
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:11,080
Speaker 1: playing a linebacker spot here and he's coming. So he's

186
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 1: the mic. Yeah, here's the thing. You get guys in there.

187
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 1: You've seen film, you get any you know, it's commonplace

188
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 1: in the NFL for guys to wear jerseys and on

189
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 1: their numbers on their jerseys, and they wear the jerseys

190
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 1: of the other team when they're playing scout teams. So

191
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 1: you get it. Used to see in fifty seven in

192
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 1: that spot. Fifty seven's in that spot, and you get

193
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 1: there all week and laff, he does this, We do this,

194
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 1: and he goes there, we do this. Then you get

195
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:33,440
Speaker 1: in the game and it's not fifty seven, number eight,

196
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 1: it's number six. It's like, well, he's probably not gonna

197
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:40,200
Speaker 1: do it. Fifty seven did or or is he? What's

198
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 1: he gonna do? So that that really and if he

199
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 1: you know, if he rushes, fifty seven never rushed. Now,

200
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, this guy is so now everything

201
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 1: else that you know about that spot is in flux

202
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 1: as well. So so you're unsure of yourself and you're

203
00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 1: not just playing free, you're thinking, right, I mean that's

204
00:10:57,360 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 1: kind of the byproduct of what happens there. Huge five

205
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 1: and I think it was a huge vibe on both

206
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:03,679
Speaker 1: sides of the ball. Defense offensively for both clubs. I

207
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 1: think neither club was feeling it in that first half.

208
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:11,600
Speaker 1: Three ever, he was moving the ball, They were moving it. Ye,

209
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 1: they got to the red zone. They had Yes, they

210
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 1: had some success. But I'll say this. They had a

211
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:21,600
Speaker 1: thirty nine yard completion on third and fifteen to Parker

212
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:25,680
Speaker 1: down the sidelines. That was the first play they really got.

213
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 1: And then late in the game the one the lofted

214
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:31,719
Speaker 1: ball to Kasicky right down the far side. So that

215
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:34,559
Speaker 1: was it though. They yeah, they they were moving a

216
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 1: little bit. Yeah, and they ran it. They mixed up

217
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:38,679
Speaker 1: the run and stuff pretty well too, no question. But

218
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,080
Speaker 1: you know, in the first half, Bill's defense, I mean

219
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 1: ed Oliver was a monster. He was an absolute monster

220
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:46,959
Speaker 1: in the first half. Had a sack, he had a hurry,

221
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 1: he had he forced to throw away, he had a

222
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 1: tackle for loss. I mean he was he was really

223
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:55,959
Speaker 1: a force inside. Um. It's kind of what you hope

224
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 1: he would be. But man, oh man, he Yeah, he

225
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 1: had a game, and both defenses did in the first half.

226
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:08,680
Speaker 1: But at halftime an as we can see, Bills made

227
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 1: some adjustments and it made a big difference it make.

228
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 1: If you can come out and go touchdown, touchdown, field goal,

229
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 1: touchdown on your last four possessions, Yeah, you're doing something.

230
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 1: And I'm just gonna say this because the defense, to me,

231
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:21,560
Speaker 1: is the reason that they were in position to win

232
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:24,440
Speaker 1: the game at the end, because, yes, they got some help.

233
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:27,599
Speaker 1: Jason Sanders misses a thirty nine yard field goal I

234
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 1: think thirty six yard field goal on the opening drive,

235
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:34,199
Speaker 1: so it's remains scoreless. Then they have the misque on

236
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:36,960
Speaker 1: the timing of the snap as Gaziki's coming across the formation,

237
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:40,200
Speaker 1: Caram's off his leg and the Bills scooped that up.

238
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:42,599
Speaker 1: When the Dolphins were in the red zone ready to

239
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 1: take the lead with at least a field goal six three,

240
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:47,200
Speaker 1: knowing they're getting the first possession of the second half

241
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:50,079
Speaker 1: in the third quarter. Yeah, and they get that ball.

242
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:54,559
Speaker 1: So they did get some beneficial bounces. But after that

243
00:12:54,920 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 1: opening field goal by Miami, seven possession with nothing to

244
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 1: show for it, I mean, that's called holding the fort

245
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 1: As far as i'm Bill's defense played extremely well. They

246
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 1: gave up eleven points and they got a couple of turnovers,

247
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:14,600
Speaker 1: got a fumble of course, that was a Miami miscue

248
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:16,679
Speaker 1: more than anything. Gisicky going in motion in the in

249
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:19,520
Speaker 1: the center. That was actually give that one to the mafia.

250
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 1: I don't know if you saw it earlier in the game,

251
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 1: but Gisicki was coming in motion the opposite way down

252
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 1: at the scoreboard end and he had to stop and

253
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 1: back out of the way or he would have gotten

254
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:33,440
Speaker 1: hit by the ball again. So a couple of series

255
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 1: prior to that misq it almost happened again. Yeah, so

256
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:41,400
Speaker 1: they something messed up there, and then pour your at

257
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:43,120
Speaker 1: the end of the game puts the nail on the coffin.

258
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:44,559
Speaker 1: They gave the Bills a chance to go in and

259
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:47,320
Speaker 1: uh you know, took put it into a two score

260
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:50,280
Speaker 1: game and that that was basically it. But the Bill's

261
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 1: defense played extremely well yesterday against the Dolphins offense and

262
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:58,199
Speaker 1: Josh you know, got most of his statistics in the

263
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:00,600
Speaker 1: second half, as did the most of the our offense,

264
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:04,280
Speaker 1: and they scored twenty three points, which is a bundle

265
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 1: for a half of football. So that's you know, the

266
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 1: Bill's offense played a half a game and second luckily

267
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 1: it was the second half, and the Bill's defense showed

268
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:16,120
Speaker 1: up all day. All right, let's go to the phones

269
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 1: at eight O three five fifty one, eight five fifty two,

270
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:21,480
Speaker 1: five fifty the number to get on board, open line

271
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:24,440
Speaker 1: for you. Biggest takeaway from yesterday's game, Let us have it.

272
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:27,160
Speaker 1: We start with Corey in West Seneca. Corey, you're on

273
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 1: one Bill's Live. What do you have for us? All right?

274
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 1: First time call it, But I'm a long time listener.

275
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:39,720
Speaker 1: I associate you taking my call. Sure, coming off impressive

276
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:43,920
Speaker 1: but terrible loss of Tennessee. It was a fight. I

277
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:46,160
Speaker 1: enjoyed it, even though I was on the edge of

278
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:48,880
Speaker 1: my sick the whole time. Young, it's the TV. How

279
00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 1: do you what are your thoughts on how the offense

280
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 1: has struggled against Miami and how we're going into an

281
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:01,880
Speaker 1: easier couple of weeks. Well, none, it's gonna start picking

282
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 1: up again. Do you think Are you tick? What do

283
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 1: you think going on with the alpens? Okay, all right,

284
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 1: we can handle that, Corey. Thanks for the call. Look,

285
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 1: I don't know if I would chalk it up as

286
00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 1: easy games coming up here. I thought Coach McDermott painted

287
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 1: the picture pretty accurately after the game in his postgame

288
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:26,920
Speaker 1: press conference when he said this league is about tight

289
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 1: margins there are rarely blowouts. The fact that the Bills

290
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 1: have two of them and shut out victories this year,

291
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:39,760
Speaker 1: and you can argue a third over Washington, I think

292
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 1: raise the level of expectations to an unrealistic place where

293
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:50,680
Speaker 1: if the Bills are not throttling teams every single week,

294
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 1: there's this genuine belief that something is wrong. To me,

295
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:59,000
Speaker 1: the bottom line yesterday was the coaching staff of the

296
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:02,520
Speaker 1: Dolphins did a really good job of crossing up the

297
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 1: players on the field on offense through the first two

298
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:07,720
Speaker 1: quarters of the game. Took him a while, but they

299
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 1: figured out a way around those schemes, and as Steve said,

300
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 1: we're more effective in the second half. Now, that doesn't

301
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:18,920
Speaker 1: mean everything is right with Buffalo's offense, but what it

302
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 1: does mean is there are other coaching staffs and teams

303
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 1: out there that are more than capable of giving the

304
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 1: Bills offense fits. I mean, the Jets went out there

305
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:34,440
Speaker 1: yesterday and beat everybody's top banana in Week seven Cincinnati.

306
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 1: I mean it took overtime, but that's a one win

307
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 1: team that just dropped Cincinnati like a bad habit yesterday

308
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 1: and hung thirty four on them with their backup quarterback. Right,

309
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 1: There's nothing wrong with the Bills offense. They had had

310
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 1: a tough half, no question about it. Give Miami some credit.

311
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:51,480
Speaker 1: They had some issues of their own going in that

312
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:54,880
Speaker 1: had nothing to do with their with their play calling,

313
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:56,080
Speaker 1: or it might have had something to do with the

314
00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 1: play calling, because I think Brian day ball he leaned

315
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:01,120
Speaker 1: heavy on the run in the first half yesterday because

316
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:03,480
Speaker 1: I don't know, particularly when they were dropping back and

317
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:07,359
Speaker 1: Miami was sitting in an extra rusher. Bill's block five,

318
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 1: would would block five, Miami would send six, you know,

319
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:13,680
Speaker 1: And it's just the way it was. And Miami was

320
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 1: bringing a lot of heat, and Josh was running for

321
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:17,880
Speaker 1: his life a little bit, and even on that first

322
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 1: third down, If he completes that ball to Steph Diggs

323
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 1: on that first third down, that may change what Miami's

324
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:28,760
Speaker 1: thinking or trying to do. But it didn't because they

325
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:31,320
Speaker 1: didn't execute a simple pitch and catch because Josh was

326
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:32,720
Speaker 1: running as hard as he couldn't. He just let the

327
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:35,280
Speaker 1: ball float a little bit too high. If that plat

328
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:38,119
Speaker 1: passes completed, things might change. But Miami's planning in the

329
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:41,159
Speaker 1: first in the first half was pressure, pressure, pressure pressure.

330
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 1: My question is why didn't they do that in the

331
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:48,399
Speaker 1: second half. I mean, they held the most prolific offense

332
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:50,879
Speaker 1: one of the most prolific conferences in the league to

333
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:54,280
Speaker 1: three points and a half and they didn't do it anymore. Yeah.

334
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 1: I don't know why they completely changed what they were doing,

335
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:02,399
Speaker 1: but they did. Josh Allen had time to throw in

336
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:04,639
Speaker 1: the second half. They were rushing four on many more

337
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 1: occasions they did in the first half, and the Bills

338
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 1: quite frankly carved them up. Bills also used a lot

339
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:14,960
Speaker 1: of bubble screens and swing passes to combat that blitz

340
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 1: as well, in an effort to try to back them off.

341
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:20,000
Speaker 1: They didn't really get any giant plays out of that

342
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:23,919
Speaker 1: if you look back, and in the second half they

343
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:26,440
Speaker 1: went to it probably a half a dozen times, just

344
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:30,159
Speaker 1: throwing swings and bubble screens out to the wide areas

345
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:32,879
Speaker 1: of the field, hoping to get yardage from their players

346
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:36,239
Speaker 1: in space. But it just didn't happen. They didn't really

347
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:39,439
Speaker 1: lose yardage, but we're talking like three four yard games,

348
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 1: which I guess kept them on schedule to a certain

349
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:44,800
Speaker 1: extent and avoided Josh from taking unnecessary sacks and a

350
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:48,920
Speaker 1: loss of yardage. I have to believe Brian Dabel was

351
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:50,920
Speaker 1: hoping to get more out of that part of the

352
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:53,480
Speaker 1: game plan than they did though yesterday, as they had

353
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:56,679
Speaker 1: troublemaking plays the space. I gotta tell you, they had

354
00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:58,680
Speaker 1: to be going in at halftime thinking, man, this is it,

355
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:00,359
Speaker 1: this is what we're all about. I mean, we got

356
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 1: a chance to win up here in Buffalo and beat

357
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:05,920
Speaker 1: him for the first time in six seven games. We

358
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:08,960
Speaker 1: held him to three points and we should have a

359
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:11,879
Speaker 1: six to three lead, and if it weren't for a

360
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 1: botched snap, it could have been thirteen. They could have

361
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:20,000
Speaker 1: scored a touchdown that last possession that it was Steve.

362
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:22,240
Speaker 1: We did a whole podcast last week on the importance

363
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:25,120
Speaker 1: of the middle eight minutes of a football game. Dolphins

364
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:28,760
Speaker 1: won the toss elected to defer. The analytics show that

365
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:30,760
Speaker 1: when you do that, you're usually the team that has

366
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:32,399
Speaker 1: the football at the end of the first half, and

367
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:33,920
Speaker 1: you know you're getting the kick off at the start

368
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 1: of the second half after deferring at the beginning of

369
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 1: the game, and a lot of teams like to double

370
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:40,639
Speaker 1: dip there and if you can, if your offense can

371
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 1: cash in on back to back possessions, ideally with two touchdowns.

372
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:48,920
Speaker 1: That's a potential fourteen points swinging a ball game. And

373
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:51,359
Speaker 1: the analytics guy we had on last week, Pete Angler,

374
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:55,200
Speaker 1: on our podcast Bills by the Numbers, he said seventy

375
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:58,879
Speaker 1: six percent of games are won by the team that

376
00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:03,680
Speaker 1: wins those eight minutes in terms of score differential, more

377
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:05,520
Speaker 1: so than the team that wins in the final two

378
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:08,399
Speaker 1: minutes in terms of score differential. So it was pretty

379
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:11,080
Speaker 1: eye opening, and I think we saw the Dolphins fall

380
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:14,920
Speaker 1: victim to that. They don't come up with anything on

381
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:17,160
Speaker 1: those two possessions. They turn it over on the ball

382
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:18,920
Speaker 1: that hits because sticking in the leg on the snap

383
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:22,440
Speaker 1: hide scoops it up, so they're inside the twenty there,

384
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:25,119
Speaker 1: they don't even get a field goal. They get nothing,

385
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:27,000
Speaker 1: and it's tied to three and a half. They come

386
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:28,920
Speaker 1: out in the second half, they go three and out,

387
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:32,680
Speaker 1: zero zilch nothing on those back to back possessions. That

388
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:35,240
Speaker 1: was a huge swing in the game, even though it

389
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:38,840
Speaker 1: didn't necessarily show in numbers on the scoreboard. Right, you

390
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 1: just kind of think it's yeah, you think it's just

391
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:43,960
Speaker 1: kind of the way the game goes. But it makes

392
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:45,919
Speaker 1: a difference because when you get the ball coming out

393
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:47,960
Speaker 1: of half, you get a free possession, you get the ball,

394
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:51,080
Speaker 1: you get the ball first. That's big anytime, you know,

395
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:55,520
Speaker 1: and them botching that snap going in, I mean, that's

396
00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:59,399
Speaker 1: you fifteen yard line, fifteen yard line, not forget it.

397
00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:03,240
Speaker 1: That's three points for them and not for Buffalo. So

398
00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:07,200
Speaker 1: that's at least a three point swing, possibly you know,

399
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 1: a touchdown. I mean, because they think they're going to

400
00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:11,920
Speaker 1: score in that situation. They got time, and of course

401
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:14,800
Speaker 1: the Bills come in and kneel down. One play and

402
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:19,040
Speaker 1: the half is over. But man, oh man, that's a huge, huge,

403
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:21,840
Speaker 1: blown opportunity. Now let's go back to the phones. We

404
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:24,080
Speaker 1: go to Alex and Rochester. Alex, what do you have

405
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 1: for us? You're on one Bill's Live. Hey, guys, thanks

406
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:29,960
Speaker 1: for having me on a couple of things. I can't

407
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:32,800
Speaker 1: believe that the story isn't more about, you know, the

408
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:35,879
Speaker 1: wizard that Brian Dable is drying, you know, drawing up

409
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:38,200
Speaker 1: all the adjustments that we needed to make, because you know,

410
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:41,520
Speaker 1: the team that wins playoff football games oftentimes is a

411
00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:44,760
Speaker 1: team that makes the necessary adjustments. In my mind, that's

412
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:48,359
Speaker 1: the story of the game yesterday because Cobe easily they

413
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 1: had no no answer to him, he was he was

414
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:54,080
Speaker 1: running rouse for you know, five sometimes ten, you know,

415
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:57,640
Speaker 1: yards of space between him and his defender. And obviously

416
00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:01,240
Speaker 1: we recognize that made those adjustments. So that was should

417
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 1: be the story of the day, is that we made

418
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:05,720
Speaker 1: the adjustments, came out and then and then won the

419
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:08,800
Speaker 1: second half and the game. The other thing I wanted

420
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:10,880
Speaker 1: to mention to you guys and see if you could

421
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:14,800
Speaker 1: talk me through, was you know, partially a player safety

422
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:18,399
Speaker 1: issue on the blown you know, defensive off side call.

423
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:20,040
Speaker 1: I think it was third and came out of a

424
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:22,720
Speaker 1: third and twelve or something like that. The guy jumps

425
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:26,480
Speaker 1: off classic play. Josh sees the guy jump, so do

426
00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:29,200
Speaker 1: all the other players and Steve you probably you know,

427
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:33,040
Speaker 1: can feel everybody reacts differently now because I think the

428
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:37,359
Speaker 1: play is basically a free play. Josh goes down, you know,

429
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:40,359
Speaker 1: gets the intentional grounding call, and then the announcers on

430
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:43,680
Speaker 1: the on the broadcast, we're saying that in that instance,

431
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:47,399
Speaker 1: even if they had called, uh, you know, defensive off sides,

432
00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:53,160
Speaker 1: that the the the fact that Josh you know, got

433
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 1: the intentional grounding call would have outweighed that call and

434
00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:59,640
Speaker 1: they still would have been negative yards on that play,

435
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:02,639
Speaker 1: which I didn't understand all that, and then the comment

436
00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:04,639
Speaker 1: that they made about you know, player safety, to me

437
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:07,200
Speaker 1: was really true because you know, Josh gets hurt on

438
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:09,479
Speaker 1: that play. I'm looking at the rest. I thought they

439
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 1: had a couple of really poor calls yesterday, specifically that

440
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:16,560
Speaker 1: one because of player safety, especially with a quarterback. Well

441
00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:19,120
Speaker 1: so anybody else. Aaron Rodgers gets set all the time

442
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:21,560
Speaker 1: and destroys teams on that. Yeah, Alex, let me just

443
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:24,720
Speaker 1: say this. I'll just say this. I was losing my

444
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:27,120
Speaker 1: mind over that call for for a couple of reasons. One,

445
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:31,400
Speaker 1: you're right, the guy jumped off sides number two, the official,

446
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:33,920
Speaker 1: the white hat, the guy that was the announcer that

447
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:37,120
Speaker 1: was calling the get an announcer, the head official when

448
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:41,000
Speaker 1: Josh went down, called him down, called it a sack

449
00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:44,280
Speaker 1: in the grass. He spotted him in the grasp on

450
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:48,439
Speaker 1: the play, So you can't have him in the grasp

451
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:50,240
Speaker 1: on the play and then say that he threw the

452
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 1: football because the throw is irrelevant because he was already down,

453
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:56,600
Speaker 1: So you can't call intentional grounding if the head official

454
00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:59,639
Speaker 1: calls him down by contact and in the grasp. So

455
00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:03,920
Speaker 1: they screwed that up. Then they go back, they don't

456
00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:06,960
Speaker 1: call the off sides penalty that would that it was

457
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:09,280
Speaker 1: on I mean, you can't miss it at least neutral

458
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:15,400
Speaker 1: zone in front. Then they go back and double dip stabbing.

459
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:18,880
Speaker 1: They stabbed the Bills twice once they missed the off sides.

460
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 1: Then they called him down by comp within the grasp.

461
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 1: Then they say no instead of calling him down by

462
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:26,720
Speaker 1: in the grasp, he's moving backwards with two guys hanging

463
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:29,159
Speaker 1: on him, we're gonna call intentional ground him because he

464
00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:32,680
Speaker 1: tried to throw the football after I said he was

465
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:36,840
Speaker 1: already sacked. So yeah, don't get me started. Yeah, not

466
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:39,080
Speaker 1: to mention the fact there were several non calls. The

467
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:44,119
Speaker 1: right tackle Jesse James for the Miami Dolphins. He was

468
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:47,000
Speaker 1: out of his stance before the snap at least three

469
00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:50,240
Speaker 1: times in the game. False start was not called one

470
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:54,400
Speaker 1: time on him. So that was a bone of contention

471
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:58,280
Speaker 1: for me as well. We understand, Look, these officials, they're

472
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 1: not gonna get not gonna have a perfect record in

473
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:03,800
Speaker 1: any game. They're just not. They're gonna miss some. But man,

474
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:07,040
Speaker 1: there were a couple there, and Alex is right, that

475
00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:11,840
Speaker 1: could have been a catastrophic play. Thursday night, Packers Cardinals.

476
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:18,160
Speaker 1: Cardinals were off sides and jumped and Rogers gets the snap.

477
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:20,320
Speaker 1: He's rolling out ready for a free play. They blow

478
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:23,760
Speaker 1: it dead. He almost lost his mind. You just took

479
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:25,440
Speaker 1: a free play away from me. What are you doing?

480
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:30,200
Speaker 1: Why are you blowing it dead? It's just it happens everywhere,

481
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:34,480
Speaker 1: and unfortunately it happened in yesterday's game as well. Back

482
00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:37,320
Speaker 1: to the phones, and we go to Pete in Brockport. Pete,

483
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:40,600
Speaker 1: what do you have for us? You're on one Bills live. Hey,

484
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:42,560
Speaker 1: you guys, thanks for taking my call. Sure. One of

485
00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:45,040
Speaker 1: the things I got from the game yesterday was that

486
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:48,320
Speaker 1: the Bills did a much better job. You know, after

487
00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:51,840
Speaker 1: they made their adjustments. They showed the composure to be

488
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:54,280
Speaker 1: able to nickel and dime down the field where you

489
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:56,760
Speaker 1: could see Miami was trying to do it, but they

490
00:25:56,800 --> 00:26:00,119
Speaker 1: didn't have the composure or enough of an offense to

491
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:03,000
Speaker 1: go against our defense. So the Bills in the second

492
00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:05,240
Speaker 1: half way, you know, Nick lan Dame was all the

493
00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:08,639
Speaker 1: fast of the beasily along with the few runs that

494
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:11,560
Speaker 1: they would throw in or you know something the Diggs

495
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:15,240
Speaker 1: or Davis and that that. I think it just worked

496
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:19,080
Speaker 1: out better for them. Yeah, I would. I would agree

497
00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:23,280
Speaker 1: with that. You know that that's what most defenses are

498
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:25,359
Speaker 1: gonna do to this team. They're not going to let

499
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:28,040
Speaker 1: you get it all in one play, knowing Josh is

500
00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:30,639
Speaker 1: capable of doing that with his arms. So what's the

501
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:33,800
Speaker 1: better way to go. Let's make the Bills go twelve

502
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:36,600
Speaker 1: plays to get to the end zone and hope on

503
00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:40,240
Speaker 1: one of those twelve something gets screwed up, whether it's

504
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:43,480
Speaker 1: a bad read, a bad throw, a sack fumble. The

505
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:45,960
Speaker 1: more plays you're on the field to try to defend

506
00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:49,160
Speaker 1: that offense, the greater the chance is that something goes

507
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:52,040
Speaker 1: wrong for them and right for you, rather than a

508
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:54,200
Speaker 1: three play eighty yard drive where you get burned for

509
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:56,880
Speaker 1: a sixty yard score with Diggs getting behind you right.

510
00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:00,840
Speaker 1: The adjustments were what they were, and I couldn't begin

511
00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:02,680
Speaker 1: to tell you all the nuances of it, but I

512
00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:05,320
Speaker 1: know one thing. Cole Beasley crushed him in the second half.

513
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:08,240
Speaker 1: He absolutely crushed the Dolphins in the second half. And

514
00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:10,760
Speaker 1: his ability to get opened down the seams going, you know,

515
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:13,600
Speaker 1: threatening them deep and also getting yards after he catches it,

516
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:16,359
Speaker 1: even though it's like a five yard game after he

517
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:19,200
Speaker 1: catches it, rather than a fifty yard gain huge plays

518
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:21,800
Speaker 1: because he converted for third downs. There were a couple

519
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:24,240
Speaker 1: three the Bills were one of six on their first

520
00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:31,000
Speaker 1: first six third downs they ended up I think six

521
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:35,320
Speaker 1: of which they went five or seven in the same Yeah,

522
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:40,200
Speaker 1: that's big. So that that adjustment was huge, and Josh

523
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:42,600
Speaker 1: looked more comfortable. And like I said, Josh had more

524
00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:44,000
Speaker 1: time in the second half than he did in the

525
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:45,920
Speaker 1: first half. And I don't know whether it was because

526
00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:48,080
Speaker 1: the Dolphins stopped sending extra people. It seemed to me

527
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:51,920
Speaker 1: like they were. They did stop sending pressure as often

528
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:54,120
Speaker 1: as they did in the first half, but Josh had

529
00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:57,680
Speaker 1: more time to stand back there and throw, and he

530
00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:00,639
Speaker 1: carved him up to a certain extent that he couldn't

531
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:03,000
Speaker 1: something he couldn't do in the first half. Got a

532
00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:08,920
Speaker 1: blockbuster trade announcement from Adam Schefter Trade Alert. The Broncos

533
00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:12,560
Speaker 1: are finalizing a trade to send Pro Bowl linebacker Von

534
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:16,320
Speaker 1: Miller to the Los Angeles Rams in exchange for two

535
00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:19,840
Speaker 1: second Day twenty twenty two draft picks. That means second

536
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:24,600
Speaker 1: and third rounders according to ESPN sources, So Von Miller

537
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:27,800
Speaker 1: looks to be on his way to the La Rams,

538
00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:30,200
Speaker 1: who really don't need any more help, but they're gonna

539
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:32,440
Speaker 1: get some. I'm also convinced they're not going to have

540
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:36,000
Speaker 1: any draft choices in twenty twenty two, twenty twenty three,

541
00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:39,120
Speaker 1: or twenty twenty four. You want to talk about mortgaging

542
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:42,480
Speaker 1: the farm, they've done. They've mortgaged their own farm and

543
00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:44,600
Speaker 1: the farm of both of their neighbors on either side

544
00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:49,240
Speaker 1: of their property. Holy cow, they have refinanced once again.

545
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:53,600
Speaker 1: Von Miller is not making chump change either. No, no,

546
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:56,160
Speaker 1: he's making big money. It's like, here's the thing they

547
00:28:56,240 --> 00:29:03,040
Speaker 1: got Matt Stafford, Aaron Donald, j Jalen Ramsey, Von Miller. Now,

548
00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:05,800
Speaker 1: they did shed some salary last year. They let John Johnson,

549
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:09,200
Speaker 1: there really good safety go in free agency along with

550
00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:13,520
Speaker 1: some other guys. It's those four guys and Brownie and

551
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:17,800
Speaker 1: I Andrew Whitworth makes good money as they left Tackle

552
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:22,160
Speaker 1: Stafford obviously, as you mentioned. So yeah, it's I'm gonna

553
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:24,440
Speaker 1: pull up his contract real quick right now, just to

554
00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:28,880
Speaker 1: give everybody a sense as to what they're looking at. Now. Obviously,

555
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:33,120
Speaker 1: you know the bonus money gets accelerated into Denver's cap.

556
00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:37,160
Speaker 1: So let me see what they would be on the

557
00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:40,080
Speaker 1: hook for here. So twenty he's in the last year

558
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:43,320
Speaker 1: of his deal and it's pro rated base salary seventeen

559
00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:47,480
Speaker 1: and a half million, So for nine games, you know

560
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:51,640
Speaker 1: they're gonna pay like fifty five percent of that, so

561
00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:55,280
Speaker 1: you know a little more, probably close to about eight

562
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:58,360
Speaker 1: and a half million dollars for nine games. They're not Yeah,

563
00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:00,720
Speaker 1: they're I mean the Broncos aren't. You know, they won't

564
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:03,640
Speaker 1: have any dead cap space to speak of because it's

565
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:07,800
Speaker 1: the last year of his contract anyway, right, So, well,

566
00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:13,280
Speaker 1: he had seventy million dollars guaranteed, uh, forty two million guaranteed.

567
00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:18,400
Speaker 1: It's at signing and yeah, I mean he's it's all

568
00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:21,040
Speaker 1: in base salary this year, but his cap hits twenty

569
00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:25,520
Speaker 1: two five. But that makes them, that makes them really tough, man.

570
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:28,000
Speaker 1: I mean Aaron Donald and Von Miller on the same

571
00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:32,360
Speaker 1: defensive front. Yeah, well that's a big that's a big

572
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:36,680
Speaker 1: He's thirty two challenge, yes he is, which is not

573
00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:39,320
Speaker 1: and he hasn't been the picture of health the last

574
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 1: two years either, right, which is probably why you know

575
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:46,760
Speaker 1: the rams only part with two second part were COVID,

576
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:50,160
Speaker 1: right and then he yes, he had COVID. He also

577
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:51,720
Speaker 1: had an injury though he had a bad injury he

578
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:53,400
Speaker 1: was coming back from. It. Slipped my mind as to

579
00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:56,040
Speaker 1: what that was, but yeah, he's been a little nicked

580
00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:59,320
Speaker 1: up the let. I don't know if it was. I'll

581
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:02,240
Speaker 1: have to look it up and confirm it, but yes,

582
00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:06,280
Speaker 1: potential blockbuster news there. Adam Schefter reporting Broncos finalizing a

583
00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:09,920
Speaker 1: trade to send pass rusher Von Miller to the Rams

584
00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:13,600
Speaker 1: in exchange for two second day pick in the twenty

585
00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:16,160
Speaker 1: twenty two draft. Excuse me so hot to get ten

586
00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:18,360
Speaker 1: year vet? Yeah, this is this tenth year. Let's get

587
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:21,040
Speaker 1: back to the phones at eight oh three, five fifty

588
00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:23,760
Speaker 1: one eighty eight, five fifty two, five fifty. We'll do that,

589
00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:26,200
Speaker 1: though after we take this break. We are up against

590
00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:28,320
Speaker 1: the breaks, so sorry about that. Tom and Horseheads, Jim

591
00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:30,280
Speaker 1: and Only and Walter and Toronto. Hang tight. We'll get

592
00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:32,680
Speaker 1: to you when we return. Here on one Bill's Line,

593
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:50,160
Speaker 1: presented by Kalid to Health, it's Buffalo Bills Radio. All right,

594
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:52,720
Speaker 1: welcome back to One Bills Live. Chris Brown Steak tasker

595
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:55,760
Speaker 1: with you here on a Bills victory Monday edition of

596
00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:59,320
Speaker 1: One Bills Live. And if you're just joining us, there

597
00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:02,960
Speaker 1: was the red from Adam Schefter that von Miller is

598
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:06,920
Speaker 1: about to become an La RAM just before the trade deadline,

599
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:09,600
Speaker 1: here apparently going from the Broncos to the Rams in

600
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:13,520
Speaker 1: exchange for a pair of second day draft choices. There

601
00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:16,920
Speaker 1: is more news to the Trade Schefter, also reporting as

602
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:20,440
Speaker 1: part of the deal, the Bronchos are paying nine million

603
00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:25,520
Speaker 1: of von Miller's remaining nine point seven million in salary. Now,

604
00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:30,000
Speaker 1: my only stab as to why that is part of

605
00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:33,840
Speaker 1: the arrangement is because the Rams are giving them two

606
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:38,560
Speaker 1: second day draft choices, presumably at best two twos or

607
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:41,360
Speaker 1: at worst two threes. I'm not going to pretend to

608
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:46,240
Speaker 1: know what the rams twenty twenty two draft war chest contained,

609
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:50,120
Speaker 1: but if you're doing your homework and you have a

610
00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:53,520
Speaker 1: good personnel department, the Broncos should be getting two starters

611
00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:56,480
Speaker 1: for the next four years with those draft choices. So

612
00:32:56,800 --> 00:32:59,000
Speaker 1: if the Rams are parting with what will equate to

613
00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:03,000
Speaker 1: two starters your roster, you got to give them something back.

614
00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:05,920
Speaker 1: It is von Miller, but as we mentioned, you know,

615
00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:08,000
Speaker 1: he hasn't been the picture of health the last two

616
00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:11,080
Speaker 1: or three seasons. Yes, they want a pass rusher, but

617
00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:12,760
Speaker 1: is he the same guy he was when he was

618
00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:14,400
Speaker 1: going to pro Bowls every year. I don't know that

619
00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:17,680
Speaker 1: he is. So maybe the Rams said, look, you want

620
00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:19,480
Speaker 1: these draft choices, you're gonna have to pay some of

621
00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:22,000
Speaker 1: the money that von Miller is going to cost us,

622
00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:24,840
Speaker 1: and let's not make it a secret. The RAMS cap

623
00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:27,560
Speaker 1: situation is pretty compressed. I mean, it's not a pretty

624
00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:29,400
Speaker 1: picture over there. Yeah, they didn't have any room. I

625
00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:32,240
Speaker 1: mean between the Stafford deal and that trade, the money

626
00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:36,400
Speaker 1: they're still eating on Jared goff Um, they're not They're

627
00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:41,120
Speaker 1: not the picture of fiscal responsibility. You know, Jalen Ramsey's money,

628
00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:45,760
Speaker 1: Aaron Donald's money to pay um. Yeah, so there's that.

629
00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:49,800
Speaker 1: There is also some other news which meant in what

630
00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:53,320
Speaker 1: might be the worst kept secret in Buffalo, um the

631
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:57,600
Speaker 1: Manning Cast tonight on ESPN two. It is official josh

632

Speaker 1: that program in the third quarter of tonight's game. So

634
00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:06,400

Speaker 1: you can do that tonight during the third quarter of

636
00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:12,160
Speaker 1: the Monday night football game. Let's get back to the

637
00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:14,600
Speaker 1: phones to get your main takeaways from Bill's Dolphins on

638
00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:18,839
Speaker 1: Sunday and leading us off as promised, is Tom in Horseheads. Tom,

639
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:20,359
Speaker 1: what do you have for us? You're on One Bill's Live.

640
00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:24,920
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, first of all, first time caller, a long

641
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:27,400
Speaker 1: time listener. Thanks for doing it, and they mentioned they

642
00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:29,640
Speaker 1: mentioned it in the podcast yesterday, as we'll start with

643
00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:32,399
Speaker 1: Steve Taskers should be in the Hall of Fame. I'm

644
00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:34,239
Speaker 1: just gonna end it with that. I know he's not

645
00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:38,759
Speaker 1: gonna he's not gonna promote for it, but belongs I

646
00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:42,600
Speaker 1: takeaways from yesterday. I'm gonna steal a line from Aaron

647
00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:45,480
Speaker 1: Rodgerson and tell some of our Bills fans out there

648
00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:50,759
Speaker 1: to relax that that that point line yesterday for me

649
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:54,839
Speaker 1: seemed really high. It's a fourteen. You can make sense

650
00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:57,239
Speaker 1: of that from the thirty five point blowout. I get it.

651
00:34:57,760 --> 00:35:00,880
Speaker 1: But with the divisional game, a team it was obviously

652
00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:04,040
Speaker 1: motivated to make a point that they're not that bad.

653
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:07,719
Speaker 1: I just thought that would be you know, I thought

654
00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:12,200
Speaker 1: yesterday would be a closer game. So takeaways from me,

655
00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:15,040
Speaker 1: it is just that the defense was playing well, and

656
00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:17,120
Speaker 1: if the defense is going to play well, I trust

657
00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:20,240
Speaker 1: Josh to make plays down the strats and win games.

658
00:35:22,239 --> 00:35:23,920
Speaker 1: One quick thing though, I did want to ask because

659
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:26,160
Speaker 1: I noticed it a couple of times. Yesterday was the

660
00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:30,120
Speaker 1: timeouts that McDermott was running down the sideline to call

661
00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:32,479
Speaker 1: on those third downs. I was wondering if you guys

662
00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:35,160
Speaker 1: saw anything there. I didn't see anything on the broadcast.

663
00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:38,120
Speaker 1: Something was obviously going down on those third downs that

664
00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:40,520
Speaker 1: was making him nervous. I mean the one he didn't

665
00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:42,560
Speaker 1: call that they ended up picking up like a twenty

666
00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:45,200
Speaker 1: yard first down. So I was just curious if you

667
00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:48,080
Speaker 1: guys saw something. Okay, yeah, I'll tell you this. I

668
00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:54,400
Speaker 1: think Sean McDermott is really good at using his timeouts.

669
00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:57,120
Speaker 1: He may, he may, I may come back to bite

670
00:35:57,160 --> 00:36:00,360
Speaker 1: this later, I mean, but so far, I think he

671
00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:03,320
Speaker 1: has been masterful at clock management at the end of

672
00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:06,160
Speaker 1: halves and the end of games. When you see him

673
00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:08,480
Speaker 1: running down the field and calling a time out like that,

674
00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:11,120
Speaker 1: it's probably not just him in a vacuum doing it himself.

675
00:36:11,160 --> 00:36:14,399
Speaker 1: Somebody upstairs, either Leslie Frazier or the guy the eyes

676
00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:17,319
Speaker 1: and the coaches booth upstairs, are seeing something that they

677
00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:20,440
Speaker 1: don't like or that they want to take advantage of.

678
00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:24,000
Speaker 1: Meaning this if they if the offense has got a

679
00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:26,040
Speaker 1: personnel formation out there that they don't like, and they

680
00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:28,320
Speaker 1: think they Hey, we've got a bad defense called against

681
00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:31,040
Speaker 1: this formation, this personnel, call a time out, let's change it.

682
00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:33,960
Speaker 1: They've done that as much as any team in the league,

683
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:36,680
Speaker 1: and mighty you see him do it on a regular basis.

684
00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:40,640
Speaker 1: Or they come out on a crucial third down and

685
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:43,120
Speaker 1: just before the snap of the ball, they'll call that

686
00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:45,120
Speaker 1: time out because then they get a snapshot of at

687
00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:48,520
Speaker 1: least what their opponent is thinking in that situation. If

688
00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:50,480
Speaker 1: you can get that sometimes it gives you a chance

689
00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:53,040
Speaker 1: to call a different defensive scheme that gives you a

690
00:36:53,120 --> 00:36:55,400
Speaker 1: better chance to be successful. But I think all of that,

691
00:36:56,760 --> 00:36:59,640
Speaker 1: you look at the way the Bills have handled end

692
00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:03,000
Speaker 1: of half scenarios and end of game scenarios, and Sean

693
00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:05,840
Speaker 1: McDermott is on point with the way they use timeouts

694
00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:09,000
Speaker 1: and how they they manage the clock. They are one

695
00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:11,800
Speaker 1: of the best teams in the league at scoring just

696
00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:16,160
Speaker 1: before halftime when they've got the ball. They did it.

697
00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:19,920
Speaker 1: They've done it extremely well in this season, early in game,

698
00:37:20,160 --> 00:37:22,719
Speaker 1: early in first half of games, earlier in the year

699
00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:26,360
Speaker 1: against teams. So yeah, McDermott uses those timeouts. When you

700
00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:28,920
Speaker 1: see him running down the field, it is because something

701
00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:31,600
Speaker 1: has happened either offensively that they're looking at Deef. I

702
00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:36,480
Speaker 1: guess this is what you're talking about. Defensively, something they

703
00:37:36,520 --> 00:37:39,920
Speaker 1: don't like, something they've seen, and something they have talked

704
00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:43,520
Speaker 1: about before that moment, so that they're ready for it.

705
00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:45,520
Speaker 1: And that's why you see him or acting and call

706
00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:47,799
Speaker 1: him the time out like he does. Let's go back

707
00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:50,040
Speaker 1: to the phones. We go to Jim and only end

708
00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:51,520
Speaker 1: next Jim, what do you have for is you're on

709
00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:56,680
Speaker 1: one Bill's life A Hi, guys, great show today. Yesterday

710
00:37:56,800 --> 00:38:00,239
Speaker 1: just sort of reminded me of the Bills in the

711
00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:04,000
Speaker 1: warm up or knock the rust off. Much like the

712
00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:09,239
Speaker 1: first gaming against Pittsburgh. You know, I found myself almost screaming,

713
00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:12,120
Speaker 1: you know during their first drive when I thought Josh

714
00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:14,040
Speaker 1: Allen was going to run for what looked like a

715
00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:17,080
Speaker 1: sure first down and then at the last second throw

716
00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:20,440
Speaker 1: the ball for an incomplete pass and they sort of

717
00:38:20,520 --> 00:38:22,960
Speaker 1: just slept walk through the first half. I don't know.

718
00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:26,279
Speaker 1: It's games like that one in the next three where

719
00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:30,240
Speaker 1: they should be probably will be prohibitive favorites to scare

720
00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:35,040
Speaker 1: me the most. This is the team that, yes, I

721
00:38:35,120 --> 00:38:37,040
Speaker 1: think they're the cream of the crop of the AFC.

722
00:38:37,239 --> 00:38:41,400
Speaker 1: There are other good AFC teams, but I think Buffalo

723
00:38:41,560 --> 00:38:44,400
Speaker 1: is the best. But it's these upcoming games where I

724
00:38:44,520 --> 00:38:47,759
Speaker 1: hope that they're not looking past or looking over and

725
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:50,120
Speaker 1: do what they need to do. Yesterday they did what

726
00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:53,520
Speaker 1: they need to do against Miami, they beat them. But

727
00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:59,080
Speaker 1: I just hope through this all that Josh realized that

728
00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:03,239
Speaker 1: the does have to do everything and that they just

729
00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:07,800
Speaker 1: maintain you know, their present offense the way it is

730
00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:10,880
Speaker 1: right now. It's a great offense, and their defense was

731
00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:13,520
Speaker 1: just lights out in the second half. It just was

732
00:39:13,719 --> 00:39:19,000
Speaker 1: the way they stimmied the Dolphins. Just your thoughts on that, Okay,

733
00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:21,400
Speaker 1: thank thanks, Paul. Jam I will say it's interesting that

734
00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:25,560
Speaker 1: you mentioned the Week one game against Pittsburgh because watching

735
00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:28,600
Speaker 1: that offense in the first half, I even said to

736
00:39:28,680 --> 00:39:30,800
Speaker 1: myself in the press box, they're a little out of

737
00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:33,080
Speaker 1: sync here. This looks a lot like Week one where

738
00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:37,000
Speaker 1: they just couldn't find a rhythm in the first half,

739
00:39:37,080 --> 00:39:38,560
Speaker 1: and you were just hoping that it wasn't going to

740
00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:42,160
Speaker 1: come back to bite them. Fortunately, you know, for them,

741
00:39:42,280 --> 00:39:46,399
Speaker 1: their defense was great throughout and you know, they hold

742
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:49,560
Speaker 1: the Dolphins to eleven points. Oh, by the way, they're

743
00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:51,879
Speaker 1: still the number one defense in football and the number

744
00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:54,480
Speaker 1: one scoring defense in football. In fact, they reduced their

745
00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:56,920
Speaker 1: points per game average by almost a field goal. It's

746
00:39:56,960 --> 00:39:59,440
Speaker 1: down to thirteen point six points per game. They're allowing.

747
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:03,359
Speaker 1: Yeah they're tough. They're tough. I mean, they're really tough.

748
00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:07,239
Speaker 1: Um yeah. The Bills offense started out slow, their Bills

749
00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:14,239
Speaker 1: defense did not. Um yeah. I still think, um yeah,

750
00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:16,840
Speaker 1: they're really really good. And despite the fact that we

751
00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:20,520
Speaker 1: all sat there and think about it, I think I

752
00:40:20,600 --> 00:40:25,000
Speaker 1: think Jim was right. Most people. The biggest worry they

753
00:40:25,080 --> 00:40:28,880
Speaker 1: have about Jacksonville and behind them the Jets is the

754
00:40:28,920 --> 00:40:30,600
Speaker 1: Bills coming out like they did in the first half

755
00:40:30,680 --> 00:40:34,279
Speaker 1: yesterday and just being flat and not being not performing well.

756
00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:36,919
Speaker 1: They're not worried about the Jets. They're not worried about

757
00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:40,759
Speaker 1: the Jaguars. They're worried about the Bills. Yeah, they're worried

758
00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:42,920
Speaker 1: about them. Yeah. That's Bills have a bad place to

759
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:47,839
Speaker 1: be right at the same time. In this league, which

760
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:51,680
Speaker 1: as coach said, is about type margins, it doesn't take

761
00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:55,440
Speaker 1: much to open the door to somebody else and let

762
00:40:55,520 --> 00:40:57,640
Speaker 1: them walk through and win a football game. They probably

763
00:40:57,680 --> 00:41:01,320
Speaker 1: shouldn't like the Bengals did yesterday with the Jets. I

764
00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:06,200
Speaker 1: mean they they had trouble yesterday and all of a sudden,

765
00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:09,120
Speaker 1: the Jets get a little momentum, the crowd gets behind them,

766
00:41:09,239 --> 00:41:11,840
Speaker 1: they believe they can play with them. They end up

767
00:41:11,840 --> 00:41:13,800
Speaker 1: winning the game in overtime, putting thirty four on the

768
00:41:13,840 --> 00:41:16,040
Speaker 1: board with their backup quarterback who threw for over four

769
00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:20,439
Speaker 1: hundred yards. The backup quarterback to the rookie quarterback. Yeah,

770
00:41:21,080 --> 00:41:23,200
Speaker 1: I mean, that's the first time a Jets QB is

771
00:41:23,200 --> 00:41:26,480
Speaker 1: thrown for four hundred yards since Vinnie Testaverdi in two thousand,

772
00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:29,680
Speaker 1: twenty one years ago. Steve, that's what happened to the

773
00:41:29,719 --> 00:41:32,959
Speaker 1: Bengals yesterday. So you gotta mind your p's and q's.

774
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:35,640
Speaker 1: In this league. You can't take anybody lightly because it

775
00:41:35,719 --> 00:41:37,680
Speaker 1: truly is a week to week league. But it's where

776
00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:39,359
Speaker 1: you could get any kind of score under the sun.

777
00:41:39,520 --> 00:41:41,600
Speaker 1: It's a testament to where you are with this Bills

778
00:41:41,640 --> 00:41:44,879
Speaker 1: team right now. That's what you're worried about. You're worried

779
00:41:44,880 --> 00:41:47,640
Speaker 1: about them having an off day, not about You're not

780
00:41:47,640 --> 00:41:49,439
Speaker 1: about You're not worried about anybody. You're not worried about

781
00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:51,239
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay. You're not worried about in New England. You're

782
00:41:51,239 --> 00:41:53,920
Speaker 1: not worried about the Jets and Jacksonville or the Colts

783
00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:56,439
Speaker 1: or anybody. You're worried about your team. Just play well.

784
00:41:56,560 --> 00:41:59,239
Speaker 1: If they play well, I think most Bills fans think, hey,

785
00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:02,719
Speaker 1: we'll take our chances. Yeah. I mean, this was a

786
00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:05,239
Speaker 1: team that everybody was all up in arms about being

787
00:42:05,640 --> 00:42:07,479
Speaker 1: ranked twenty six in the league in the red zone,

788
00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:10,600
Speaker 1: and they were still hanging thirty points a game every week.

789
00:42:11,239 --> 00:42:14,359
Speaker 1: So the coaches probably sit to the players, hey, look

790
00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:18,880
Speaker 1: we up that scoring percentage in the red zone just

791
00:42:19,040 --> 00:42:21,560
Speaker 1: a little bit like one extra touchdown a week. We're

792
00:42:21,560 --> 00:42:25,040
Speaker 1: gonna be scoring forty a week on everything. Yes, they're

793
00:42:25,080 --> 00:42:27,560
Speaker 1: averaging thirty three point eight at coming into the game,

794
00:42:28,080 --> 00:42:31,040
Speaker 1: so if you yeah, forty one. And they were three

795
00:42:31,080 --> 00:42:34,239
Speaker 1: to four in the red zone yesterday, so they went

796
00:42:35,200 --> 00:42:41,040
Speaker 1: in the second half, they went touchdown, touchdown, field goal, touchdown. Yeah, okay,

797
00:42:42,239 --> 00:42:45,440
Speaker 1: sign me up right, all right, we gotta take a

818
00:43:56,600 --> 00:43:59,920
Speaker 1: one Bills Live, Walter Ay, gentlemen, thanks for taking my call.

819
00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:02,839
Speaker 1: I love Love listening to your show Love Love Listen.

820
00:44:02,880 --> 00:44:05,640
Speaker 1: It's a w gr Just a couple of questions and

821
00:44:05,719 --> 00:44:11,520
Speaker 1: then I'll I'll listen to your comments. Um, I'm both

822
00:44:11,680 --> 00:44:15,160
Speaker 1: the Dolphins and and the Bills did a two point conversion.

823
00:44:15,760 --> 00:44:19,600
Speaker 1: One was successful, one wasn't, but there was no strategic

824
00:44:20,040 --> 00:44:23,400
Speaker 1: reason to do it, like on the school board. And

825
00:44:23,600 --> 00:44:25,080
Speaker 1: you know, for a guy who likes to put a

826
00:44:25,200 --> 00:44:29,360
Speaker 1: couple of shekels down, it really affects the line. So

827
00:44:29,560 --> 00:44:31,800
Speaker 1: I don't know if they're if they're just practicing. Figure

828
00:44:32,200 --> 00:44:35,359
Speaker 1: there's no there's no really strategic reason, but let's work

829
00:44:35,400 --> 00:44:38,120
Speaker 1: in our two point game. And also in light of

830
00:44:38,160 --> 00:44:41,399
Speaker 1: the von Miller deal, do you think do you think

831
00:44:41,440 --> 00:44:44,160
Speaker 1: the Bills should do something before the deadline today and

832
00:44:44,640 --> 00:44:47,399
Speaker 1: maybe boost up that old line. Nate Geary was talking

833
00:44:47,440 --> 00:44:52,200
Speaker 1: about some fellow from Jacksonville who might might be available.

834
00:44:52,920 --> 00:44:56,000
Speaker 1: Thanks taking my calling and all listen, all right, thanks

835
00:44:56,000 --> 00:44:59,560
Speaker 1: for the call. There was strategic yeah, for going forward

836
00:44:59,600 --> 00:45:02,080
Speaker 1: to with you if they don't explain, all right. For

837
00:45:02,640 --> 00:45:04,799
Speaker 1: Miami when they went for their two point conversion, they

838
00:45:04,840 --> 00:45:09,040
Speaker 1: went from going being down ten to seventeen with three

839
00:45:09,200 --> 00:45:13,759
Speaker 1: forty four left in the game to eleven seventeen with

840
00:45:13,960 --> 00:45:18,760
Speaker 1: three forty seven, and that means they could win the game.

841
00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:22,399
Speaker 1: They were already they were they were they went from

842
00:45:22,480 --> 00:45:25,440
Speaker 1: three to nine, if they got to ten, they could

843
00:45:25,480 --> 00:45:27,360
Speaker 1: only tie it and go for the two points. So

844
00:45:27,360 --> 00:45:29,960
Speaker 1: if they're gonna go for the two point, they go

845
00:45:30,080 --> 00:45:31,680
Speaker 1: for it right there. That gives them a chance to

846
00:45:31,760 --> 00:45:33,879
Speaker 1: win the game with one more possession. Win the game

847
00:45:33,920 --> 00:45:38,279
Speaker 1: with one more possession. Now, if they don't get the

848
00:45:38,400 --> 00:45:42,960
Speaker 1: two and it's it goes from nine to seventeen, they're

849
00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:47,640
Speaker 1: still eight down, and it's the same situation to tie.

850
00:45:47,719 --> 00:45:49,840
Speaker 1: They got to get a two point to tie. So

851
00:45:49,960 --> 00:45:51,960
Speaker 1: if they get the two point on the first attempt,

852
00:45:52,040 --> 00:45:54,000
Speaker 1: which they did, now they got a chance to win.

853
00:45:55,760 --> 00:45:58,000
Speaker 1: See what I'm saying. So they instead of going from

854
00:45:58,120 --> 00:46:01,160
Speaker 1: they went it was three to seventeen favor of the Bills,

855
00:46:01,760 --> 00:46:05,440
Speaker 1: Miami scores a touchdown. Now it's nine to seventeen until

856
00:46:05,480 --> 00:46:07,239
Speaker 1: they hit the extra point. They get the extra point,

857
00:46:07,280 --> 00:46:11,240
Speaker 1: it's ten to seventeen. Touchdown extra point ties it or touchdown.

858
00:46:11,320 --> 00:46:15,040
Speaker 1: Two point wins it. If they if it's three to

859
00:46:15,200 --> 00:46:17,520
Speaker 1: nine and they try for the two point and get it,

860
00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:20,000
Speaker 1: now they can win. If they don't, they still have

861
00:46:20,120 --> 00:46:22,719
Speaker 1: to get another two point a two point conversion to

862
00:46:22,840 --> 00:46:25,600
Speaker 1: tie it. So it's the same thing both ways. So

863
00:46:25,760 --> 00:46:28,160
Speaker 1: you take it the attempt to two point because it's

864
00:46:28,160 --> 00:46:31,359
Speaker 1: a fifty fifty proposition statistically, so you try the two

865
00:46:31,400 --> 00:46:35,360
Speaker 1: point at first, and they got it. Now it's seventeen

866
00:46:35,440 --> 00:46:39,480
Speaker 1: to eleven Bill's favor. Now they got a chance to

867
00:46:39,560 --> 00:46:44,600
Speaker 1: win it. If they had not gotten it, they would

868
00:46:44,640 --> 00:46:46,319
Speaker 1: have had to try to tie it up. They would

869
00:46:46,360 --> 00:46:48,360
Speaker 1: have had to try yet another two point conversion and

870
00:46:48,480 --> 00:46:51,120
Speaker 1: get that one just to tie. So it made sense

871
00:46:51,200 --> 00:46:53,400
Speaker 1: for the Dolphins to try for their two point conversion.

872
00:46:53,480 --> 00:46:57,560
Speaker 1: Now the Bills, it's eleven to twenty six after Josh's

873
00:46:58,680 --> 00:47:03,200
Speaker 1: rushing last rushing touch down, they're up fifteen, which is

874
00:47:03,600 --> 00:47:06,360
Speaker 1: one touchdown and an extra point and one touchdown and

875
00:47:06,480 --> 00:47:10,840
Speaker 1: a two point. You got it. If they get the

876
00:47:10,960 --> 00:47:14,400
Speaker 1: two point conversion, it's eleven to twenty eight, and they

877
00:47:14,480 --> 00:47:17,680
Speaker 1: got to get a touchdown and an extra point, a touchdown,

878
00:47:17,719 --> 00:47:20,240
Speaker 1: an extra point and a field goal, or a touchdown

879
00:47:20,280 --> 00:47:22,919
Speaker 1: and a two point, a touchdown and another two point

880
00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:26,279
Speaker 1: and still another field goal. So it's a repossession game.

881
00:47:27,320 --> 00:47:30,000
Speaker 1: So that's why they did it. And certainly, and it

882
00:47:30,120 --> 00:47:32,960
Speaker 1: was only there's one fourteen left, but why would you

883
00:47:33,040 --> 00:47:37,200
Speaker 1: take a chance, because if you know they're still they

884
00:47:37,239 --> 00:47:39,200
Speaker 1: still got to score once. It's a possession game, and

885
00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:41,160
Speaker 1: you're gonna have a chance to recover from the missed

886
00:47:41,239 --> 00:47:44,239
Speaker 1: two point before you have to give them the football back,

887
00:47:45,080 --> 00:47:47,320
Speaker 1: and maybe they score and do the two point, you

888
00:47:47,400 --> 00:47:49,640
Speaker 1: know that kind of thing. So it it puts you

889
00:47:49,760 --> 00:47:51,920
Speaker 1: up instead of fifteen up, it puts you seventeen up.

890
00:47:51,960 --> 00:47:54,800
Speaker 1: And that's a three possession game no matter what, instead

891
00:47:54,800 --> 00:47:57,399
Speaker 1: of just a two possession with some two point opportunities.

892
00:47:58,760 --> 00:48:02,680
Speaker 1: So yeah, they were both long shots, but it made sense,

893
00:48:02,719 --> 00:48:05,520
Speaker 1: particularly from Miami's standpoint when they were down nine to

894
00:48:05,680 --> 00:48:09,640
Speaker 1: seventeen with a two point pending. Walter also asked about

895
00:48:10,280 --> 00:48:13,520
Speaker 1: Jacksonville with some players on the trade block. Obviously they're

896
00:48:13,560 --> 00:48:17,240
Speaker 1: going nowhere this season. Do they consider throwing some people

897
00:48:17,280 --> 00:48:20,560
Speaker 1: overboard as sellers at the trade deadline? And would you

898
00:48:20,600 --> 00:48:23,399
Speaker 1: be interested in anybody? Now? There have been some names

899
00:48:23,440 --> 00:48:26,000
Speaker 1: floated out there that the Jaguar should make available. I

900
00:48:26,040 --> 00:48:29,439
Speaker 1: haven't seen a specific name that's reported to be being

901
00:48:29,600 --> 00:48:33,200
Speaker 1: made available yet. But you have a guy like Miles

902
00:48:33,320 --> 00:48:36,719
Speaker 1: Jack a linebacker. You have James Robinson, the horse of

903
00:48:36,760 --> 00:48:38,839
Speaker 1: a running back who looks like he's gonna be okay

904
00:48:38,880 --> 00:48:41,239
Speaker 1: after suffering an injury yesterday, and he's expected to play

905
00:48:41,239 --> 00:48:44,000
Speaker 1: against the Bills unless he gets moved, and then there's

906
00:48:44,040 --> 00:48:46,600
Speaker 1: talk about how the Jaguars should unload Cam Robinson. It

907
00:48:46,640 --> 00:48:50,360
Speaker 1: didn't pan out as a franchise left tackle. If he

908
00:48:50,400 --> 00:48:51,920
Speaker 1: didn't pan out for you, I don't know what you're

909
00:48:51,960 --> 00:48:54,000
Speaker 1: gonna get back for him, you know what I mean.

910
00:48:55,480 --> 00:49:00,120
Speaker 1: James Robinson's an interesting thought. He's a hammer. But I

911
00:49:00,200 --> 00:49:03,560
Speaker 1: think what the Bills needed running back is more speed,

912
00:49:03,680 --> 00:49:05,600
Speaker 1: which is why they acquired Matt Breeda. But he's been

913
00:49:05,640 --> 00:49:08,240
Speaker 1: inactive for the last several weeks. And that's a discussion Steve,

914
00:49:08,280 --> 00:49:10,439
Speaker 1: that I want to start with you at the start

915
00:49:10,480 --> 00:49:13,480
Speaker 1: of the second hour of the program here today. Because

916
00:49:14,800 --> 00:49:19,839
Speaker 1: the Bills utilized bubble screens and swing passes to try

917
00:49:19,920 --> 00:49:23,480
Speaker 1: to foil the Dolphins blitz attempts, and it worked with

918
00:49:23,680 --> 00:49:26,640
Speaker 1: limited success. I don't think they did a very good

919
00:49:26,719 --> 00:49:30,200
Speaker 1: job of making people miss in space, and it had

920
00:49:30,280 --> 00:49:33,719
Speaker 1: me thinking as I was watching and unfold, this is

921
00:49:33,760 --> 00:49:36,920
Speaker 1: the reason you acquired Matt Breeda to make plays for

922
00:49:37,040 --> 00:49:40,000
Speaker 1: you in space with easy, high percentage throws out of

923
00:49:40,040 --> 00:49:43,560
Speaker 1: the backfield, and to see him inactive when this was

924
00:49:43,640 --> 00:49:45,719
Speaker 1: clearly part of the game plan because they turned to

925
00:49:45,840 --> 00:49:48,680
Speaker 1: that more than half a dozen times in the second quarter,

926
00:49:48,840 --> 00:49:51,359
Speaker 1: to the point where I was getting tweets saying, what's

927
00:49:51,440 --> 00:49:53,279
Speaker 1: up with the screen game? How many more times are

928
00:49:53,320 --> 00:49:55,279
Speaker 1: we going to this? Well? What's going on here? It's

929
00:49:55,320 --> 00:49:58,560
Speaker 1: not working? And I couldn't help but think Matt Breeda

930
00:49:58,640 --> 00:50:01,600
Speaker 1: might have made a few more plays base because I

931
00:50:01,680 --> 00:50:04,160
Speaker 1: think he's just better suited for that. So that's a

932
00:50:04,200 --> 00:50:06,239
Speaker 1: discussion we will have in the second hour of the program.

933
00:50:06,280 --> 00:50:08,000
Speaker 1: I want to get your thoughts. We also want to

934
00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:11,239
Speaker 1: get your thoughts on the win yesterday twenty six to

935
00:50:11,400 --> 00:50:14,000
Speaker 1: eleven over the Dolphins to improve to five and two

936
00:50:14,080 --> 00:50:16,640
Speaker 1: on the season, or are your biggest takeaways from the game.

937
00:50:16,840 --> 00:50:18,920
Speaker 1: The phone lines are open here for the second hour

938
00:50:18,960 --> 00:50:21,440
Speaker 1: of the show. Eight oh three, oh five fifty one

939
00:50:21,600 --> 00:50:23,960
Speaker 1: eight eight eight five fifty two five fifty Steve and

940
00:50:24,000 --> 00:50:26,120
Speaker 1: I back in a flash here on one Bills Live

941
00:50:26,200 --> 00:50:46,719
Speaker 1: presented by Kalida Health. It's Buffalo Bills Radio. At a

942
00:50:46,960 --> 00:50:50,400
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker who has been all over the fields. Kind

943
00:50:50,440 --> 00:50:52,280
Speaker 1: of unique. He was kind of a dual role player

944
00:50:52,320 --> 00:50:57,920
Speaker 1: for you state a lily, Steve a blimp. We're not

945
00:50:58,040 --> 00:51:03,600
Speaker 1: even in the strated beer of normalcy here our number two.

946
00:51:03,760 --> 00:51:06,800
Speaker 1: That's right, I'm I'm on the clock now I know

947
00:51:06,880 --> 00:51:09,759
Speaker 1: what's going on. Here's three hour show on Monday's just

948
00:51:10,000 --> 00:51:13,080
Speaker 1: got the memo. We're ready to roll speaking to roll ahead,

949
00:51:13,120 --> 00:51:16,000
Speaker 1: Steve rolling here. During the break, we'll get into that.

950
00:51:16,520 --> 00:51:20,440
Speaker 1: That halftime was eventful. Yeah, we'll get into the details

951
00:51:20,480 --> 00:51:23,600
Speaker 1: of that in just a minute. I wanted to hit

952
00:51:23,719 --> 00:51:27,919
Speaker 1: Steve up on the swing pass and screen game. We'll

953
00:51:27,960 --> 00:51:30,520
Speaker 1: do that after we get to your phone calls. We

954
00:51:30,600 --> 00:51:32,080
Speaker 1: want to get to you first. That's why we have

955
00:51:32,200 --> 00:51:34,919
Speaker 1: this show. It's for you, guys. So we'll go back

956
00:51:34,960 --> 00:51:38,480
Speaker 1: to the phones for your biggest takeaways from Sunday's victory

957
00:51:38,800 --> 00:51:42,279
Speaker 1: and leading us off out on the left coast, it's

958
00:51:42,360 --> 00:51:44,799
Speaker 1: Paul in Tempi. Paul, what do you have for us?

959
00:51:44,840 --> 00:51:47,560
Speaker 1: You're on One Bill's Live. Hey, guys, love to show

960
00:51:47,680 --> 00:51:50,919
Speaker 1: watch every day out here, planks. I noticed last week

961
00:51:51,000 --> 00:51:53,799
Speaker 1: you guys were talking a lot how the Dolphins had

962
00:51:53,880 --> 00:51:59,200
Speaker 1: played man to man almost exclusively, right and yesterday's game

963
00:52:00,440 --> 00:52:03,440
Speaker 1: they started out to me. Now, I'm no football expert,

964
00:52:03,640 --> 00:52:06,439
Speaker 1: but it looked less they were blitzing and in playing

965
00:52:06,480 --> 00:52:09,480
Speaker 1: his zone, and there the Bills weren't quite ready for that. Yeah,

966
00:52:09,520 --> 00:52:11,440
Speaker 1: you're right, Paul, they were playing more zone. If you

967
00:52:11,560 --> 00:52:14,080
Speaker 1: listen to Greg Kosell when we had him on Friday,

968
00:52:14,640 --> 00:52:18,400
Speaker 1: he astutely pointed out that the Dolphins, on this current

969
00:52:18,480 --> 00:52:21,560
Speaker 1: losing streak, which is still going now at seven games,

970
00:52:22,000 --> 00:52:24,440
Speaker 1: they had begun to drift away from the man to

971
00:52:24,520 --> 00:52:26,560
Speaker 1: man coverage or at least playing it as much as

972
00:52:26,600 --> 00:52:29,040
Speaker 1: they did, because I think they were finally coming to

973
00:52:29,120 --> 00:52:31,120
Speaker 1: the realization that they did not have a pass rush

974
00:52:31,200 --> 00:52:33,520
Speaker 1: to back it up to help their guys on the

975
00:52:33,560 --> 00:52:36,479
Speaker 1: back end. So what they have done instead is they've

976
00:52:36,640 --> 00:52:40,239
Speaker 1: used smoke and mirrors, some personnel changes up front to

977
00:52:40,719 --> 00:52:46,440
Speaker 1: try to play more blitz with smaller, faster players in

978
00:52:46,600 --> 00:52:49,919
Speaker 1: the front and play zone behind it. And they've done

979
00:52:49,960 --> 00:52:53,160
Speaker 1: that more in recent weeks. Greg predicted that we'd see

980
00:52:53,239 --> 00:52:54,840
Speaker 1: more of it on Sunday, and that's in fact what

981
00:52:54,920 --> 00:52:57,120
Speaker 1: we did see. Yeah, I think one thing the Dolphins

982
00:52:57,160 --> 00:53:00,319
Speaker 1: also got some some plus out of was the fling

983
00:53:00,360 --> 00:53:02,600
Speaker 1: on the offensive line of the Bills. Three guys are

984
00:53:02,640 --> 00:53:04,480
Speaker 1: playing in different spots than they did last week. They

985
00:53:04,520 --> 00:53:06,440
Speaker 1: didn't know that was going to happen until late in

986
00:53:06,520 --> 00:53:08,320
Speaker 1: the week just before the game, and I think Miami

987
00:53:08,400 --> 00:53:10,359
Speaker 1: got wint to that and said, listen, let's see if

988
00:53:10,400 --> 00:53:14,200
Speaker 1: we can make them try and communicate bet more than

989
00:53:14,360 --> 00:53:17,400
Speaker 1: those guys might be able to communicate. Plus, you got

990
00:53:17,440 --> 00:53:20,280
Speaker 1: a guy like Feliciano who's got to have everything mirror image.

991
00:53:20,280 --> 00:53:22,120
Speaker 1: He's been playing left guard, left guard, left guard, and

992
00:53:22,160 --> 00:53:24,080
Speaker 1: all of a sudden he's on the right side, so

993
00:53:24,200 --> 00:53:26,200
Speaker 1: everything he sees and does is going to have to

994
00:53:26,239 --> 00:53:31,759
Speaker 1: be flipped. So having to communicate that, and then communicating

995
00:53:31,800 --> 00:53:35,080
Speaker 1: with Darryl Williams, who moved out a spot, and then

996
00:53:35,120 --> 00:53:38,480
Speaker 1: you got Ike Butcker coming in and Mick Morris trying

997
00:53:38,480 --> 00:53:42,040
Speaker 1: to hold the whole thing together from the center. I

998
00:53:42,080 --> 00:53:44,400
Speaker 1: think they had some problems, and I think the Dolphin

999
00:53:44,480 --> 00:53:49,520
Speaker 1: game plan was probably tailored to exacerbate the problems they

1000
00:53:49,560 --> 00:53:53,959
Speaker 1: anticipated the Bills offensive line having and doing some things

1001
00:53:54,040 --> 00:53:58,120
Speaker 1: that the Bill's coaching staff couldn't have prepared for because

1002
00:53:58,160 --> 00:54:01,120
Speaker 1: they hadn't been doing that either, mainly the personnel groupings

1003
00:54:01,400 --> 00:54:03,839
Speaker 1: and the zone blitz concepts that were like like every

1004
00:54:03,920 --> 00:54:07,759
Speaker 1: down it seemed like for a while. So Miami got

1005
00:54:07,920 --> 00:54:10,040
Speaker 1: not only got a break with what happened to Bill's

1006
00:54:10,080 --> 00:54:12,160
Speaker 1: offensive line late in the week last week, but also

1007
00:54:13,280 --> 00:54:16,359
Speaker 1: in that their game plan coming in really fit well

1008
00:54:16,480 --> 00:54:18,160
Speaker 1: with what had happened to the Bills, so that I

1009
00:54:18,200 --> 00:54:21,680
Speaker 1: think the Dolphins coaching staff really deserves some kudos for

1010
00:54:21,800 --> 00:54:25,120
Speaker 1: that first half they put together yesterday against an offense

1011
00:54:25,239 --> 00:54:28,040
Speaker 1: that's really prolific. And then McDermott did that after the game,

1012
00:54:28,040 --> 00:54:29,680
Speaker 1: he said, you gotta give some credit to Miami. They

1013
00:54:29,760 --> 00:54:31,239
Speaker 1: had you know, and even Josh said it, they had

1014
00:54:31,320 --> 00:54:33,440
Speaker 1: us crossed up. Yeah, in the first half of the game.

1015
00:54:33,600 --> 00:54:35,719
Speaker 1: His postgame, his post game, Sean McDermot said, listen, we

1016
00:54:35,800 --> 00:54:37,479
Speaker 1: were spending the dial a little bit trying to find

1017
00:54:37,560 --> 00:54:39,399
Speaker 1: something that was gonna work, and you know, they kept

1018
00:54:39,440 --> 00:54:42,759
Speaker 1: going to that bubble screen or the swing pass. It's like, well,

1019
00:54:43,360 --> 00:54:46,080
Speaker 1: you know, we gotta come up with something better than that. Yeah,

1020
00:54:46,160 --> 00:54:48,359
Speaker 1: and at least something different, because once in a while,

1021
00:54:48,360 --> 00:54:49,799
Speaker 1: you go that one too many times and you got

1022
00:54:49,880 --> 00:54:52,040
Speaker 1: a dB go on the other way. He just anticipates

1023
00:54:52,080 --> 00:54:54,239
Speaker 1: it and jumps. And so they come out in the

1024
00:54:54,320 --> 00:54:58,279
Speaker 1: second half, they get some protection issues ironed out, Josh

1025
00:54:58,360 --> 00:55:01,400
Speaker 1: has a little more time, and then adually the Dolphins

1026
00:55:01,440 --> 00:55:03,799
Speaker 1: couldn't do that anymore because the Bills were carving them

1027
00:55:03,880 --> 00:55:05,440
Speaker 1: up in the back end because they got it blocked

1028
00:55:05,480 --> 00:55:09,680
Speaker 1: up up front, so they went almost exclusively to eleven

1029
00:55:09,800 --> 00:55:12,840
Speaker 1: personnel in the second half. There were a couple of

1030
00:55:12,920 --> 00:55:16,120
Speaker 1: plays here and there in ten personnel. Actually I'm running

1031
00:55:16,160 --> 00:55:18,160
Speaker 1: through it right now because I was charting them through

1032
00:55:18,239 --> 00:55:21,399
Speaker 1: the course of the game. And after halftime, first play

1033
00:55:21,400 --> 00:55:25,560
Speaker 1: of the second half, twelve personnel singletary run from minus two.

1034
00:55:26,040 --> 00:55:29,160
Speaker 1: They go into eleven personnel for the next ten plays.

1035
00:55:29,800 --> 00:55:31,600
Speaker 1: They go into ten for a couple of plays, then

1036
00:55:31,719 --> 00:55:34,759
Speaker 1: back to eleven almost for the balance of the game.

1037
00:55:35,080 --> 00:55:37,880
Speaker 1: That means they went three and four wide receiver throughout

1038
00:55:37,960 --> 00:55:43,000
Speaker 1: the second half. And that's you know, kudos to the

1039
00:55:43,280 --> 00:55:47,319
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins for holding the Bills offense to three points

1040
00:55:47,360 --> 00:55:49,719
Speaker 1: and a half, and then kudos to the Bills and

1041
00:55:49,840 --> 00:55:52,120
Speaker 1: Josh Allen the players for coming out and turn it

1042
00:55:52,239 --> 00:55:53,759
Speaker 1: loose in the second half and putting that game out

1043
00:55:53,800 --> 00:55:56,759
Speaker 1: of reach. Let's go to the phones where Dave and

1044
00:55:56,840 --> 00:55:58,640
Speaker 1: Orchard Park is waiting, and it's probably going to bring

1045
00:55:58,760 --> 00:56:00,520
Speaker 1: up a point that I wanted to raise with Steve,

1046
00:56:00,640 --> 00:56:02,759
Speaker 1: but we'll let Dave take the lead on this. Dave,

1047
00:56:02,760 --> 00:56:05,640
Speaker 1: you're on one Bills Live. What do you have a gentleman,

1048
00:56:05,680 --> 00:56:08,680
Speaker 1: good afternoon. I appreciate the call, and thank god that

1049
00:56:08,800 --> 00:56:11,200
Speaker 1: you finally brought up Matparaid on the show. It's been

1050
00:56:11,440 --> 00:56:14,200
Speaker 1: a month now. I've been driving my brother my friend's nuts.

1051
00:56:14,280 --> 00:56:16,640
Speaker 1: I'm not Matt Breida's agent, I want to make that clear,

1052
00:56:17,280 --> 00:56:20,640
Speaker 1: but I've called him the t J Yelden of the

1053
00:56:21,320 --> 00:56:24,840
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one Bills roster. Why this guy is not

1054
00:56:24,960 --> 00:56:27,839
Speaker 1: in the lineup is beyond me. Josh Allen has out

1055
00:56:28,120 --> 00:56:31,360
Speaker 1: ran or out rushed brother, our other two running backs.

1056
00:56:31,680 --> 00:56:33,719
Speaker 1: It's happened several times over the last couple of years.

1057
00:56:33,719 --> 00:56:36,439
Speaker 1: It happened again yesterday, fifty five yards to forty seven

1058
00:56:36,480 --> 00:56:39,920
Speaker 1: in favor of Allen. A Dabo gave him an endorsement

1059
00:56:40,040 --> 00:56:43,800
Speaker 1: referring to Mattreida in the offseason when he was acquired, saying,

1060
00:56:43,880 --> 00:56:46,200
Speaker 1: this guy is perfect for coming out of the back deals.

1061
00:56:46,239 --> 00:56:48,640
Speaker 1: I'll let Joe Cribbs and Thurman Thomas with the swing

1062
00:56:48,760 --> 00:56:51,520
Speaker 1: pass and the screen pass. And of course what did

1063
00:56:51,600 --> 00:56:54,479
Speaker 1: we see yesterday the swing pass in the screen pass.

1064
00:56:54,560 --> 00:56:56,600
Speaker 1: And as soon as I saw it, I'm thinking, why

1065
00:56:56,840 --> 00:56:59,319
Speaker 1: isn't this guy in the lineup? He's inactive every week?

1066
00:56:59,360 --> 00:57:02,000
Speaker 1: Are we waiting for Monster's singletary God forbid to go

1067
00:57:02,080 --> 00:57:05,520
Speaker 1: down to injury. I mean, it's ridiculous why this guy's

1068
00:57:05,560 --> 00:57:08,880
Speaker 1: on the bench. I appreciate you finally bring it up

1069
00:57:08,920 --> 00:57:11,279
Speaker 1: after all these weeks. Yeah, well, you're welcome, double and

1070
00:57:11,320 --> 00:57:13,239
Speaker 1: I'm glad. I'm happy to have your support on that

1071
00:57:13,360 --> 00:57:16,160
Speaker 1: because it was something that I think they turned to

1072
00:57:16,360 --> 00:57:19,160
Speaker 1: on the fly yesterday, right because of the way the

1073
00:57:19,240 --> 00:57:23,360
Speaker 1: Miami defense was playing. But watching it unfold, I couldn't

1074
00:57:23,400 --> 00:57:26,120
Speaker 1: help but think to myself, Brida would be much more

1075
00:57:26,160 --> 00:57:29,560
Speaker 1: effective in this spot, in that kind of a role.

1076
00:57:30,160 --> 00:57:32,200
Speaker 1: He just happened to be inactive. It'll be interesting to

1077
00:57:32,240 --> 00:57:34,439
Speaker 1: see where it goes from here going forward if he's

1078
00:57:34,560 --> 00:57:37,240
Speaker 1: up in the coming We think one of the reasons

1079
00:57:37,280 --> 00:57:38,960
Speaker 1: he you know, they didn't use him like that yesterday

1080
00:57:39,040 --> 00:57:40,880
Speaker 1: because if you know, if they had that game to

1081
00:57:40,920 --> 00:57:42,960
Speaker 1: do over again, he might have gotten activated. Yeah you

1082
00:57:43,000 --> 00:57:45,440
Speaker 1: know what I mean, I don't I don't think they anticipated,

1083
00:57:46,400 --> 00:57:48,000
Speaker 1: which is why it was so effective. I don't think

1084
00:57:48,040 --> 00:57:50,280
Speaker 1: this coaching staff had anticipated what Miami is going to

1085
00:57:50,280 --> 00:57:52,280
Speaker 1: do because it's little off the board for them. Isn't

1086
00:57:52,320 --> 00:57:54,880
Speaker 1: it safe to say? I think this is safe to say,

1087
00:57:55,640 --> 00:57:59,520
Speaker 1: he is your best space player at the running back position.

1088
00:58:00,880 --> 00:58:03,040
Speaker 1: I don't Yeah, I don't know. I guess I don't know.

1089
00:58:03,800 --> 00:58:07,800
Speaker 1: He had a hard time be able to elude the difference.

1090
00:58:07,800 --> 00:58:10,000
Speaker 1: A couple of good years in San Francisco. One good

1091
00:58:10,040 --> 00:58:12,320
Speaker 1: year in San Francisco, went to Miami, got stood sat

1092
00:58:12,400 --> 00:58:15,000
Speaker 1: on the bench down there, so and in favor of

1093
00:58:15,360 --> 00:58:19,400
Speaker 1: Miles Gaskin one year deal in Miami, they let him go.

1094
00:58:19,560 --> 00:58:21,680
Speaker 1: Now he's in Buffalo, and now he's having trouble getting

1095
00:58:21,720 --> 00:58:26,360
Speaker 1: on the field. Here. There's three coaching staffs, but they're

1096
00:58:26,360 --> 00:58:29,320
Speaker 1: saying there's a reason for that, right, three coaching staffs

1097
00:58:29,360 --> 00:58:31,480
Speaker 1: that have done that to him, don't I'm not saying

1098
00:58:31,480 --> 00:58:33,120
Speaker 1: it doesn't have to do with anything. It's the guys

1099
00:58:33,160 --> 00:58:34,840
Speaker 1: around him. It's everything he goes into. It's not like

1100
00:58:34,880 --> 00:58:36,600
Speaker 1: he's a bad guy or whatever or nothing like that.

1101
00:58:36,760 --> 00:58:40,320
Speaker 1: I'm just saying there's something about his skill set or

1102
00:58:40,440 --> 00:58:45,160
Speaker 1: lack thereof in some area, or maybe some deficient or whatever.

1103
00:58:45,560 --> 00:58:47,080
Speaker 1: Something's keeping him on the bench. And it's not just

1104
00:58:47,120 --> 00:58:48,960
Speaker 1: because the coach is saying I just don't like him

1105
00:58:49,360 --> 00:58:52,640
Speaker 1: or whatever we don't want to win, you know, has

1106
00:58:52,720 --> 00:58:55,200
Speaker 1: nothing to do with it. So there's something there that

1107
00:58:55,320 --> 00:58:57,880
Speaker 1: we're not privy to as why he's on the bench,

1108
00:58:58,000 --> 00:58:59,800
Speaker 1: And I don't know whether it's just it's as simple

1109
00:58:59,840 --> 00:59:04,640
Speaker 1: as hey loyalty to Zach Mosson and Devin's Singletary because

1110
00:59:04,680 --> 00:59:07,480
Speaker 1: we drafted them. I don't think this coaching staff works

1111
00:59:07,560 --> 00:59:10,320
Speaker 1: that way. So let's look at it a different way. Steve,

1112
00:59:11,320 --> 00:59:13,600
Speaker 1: there is no question he is the fastest back on

1113
00:59:13,680 --> 00:59:16,400
Speaker 1: the roster. He runs a four to three eight. He

1114
00:59:16,760 --> 00:59:19,000
Speaker 1: is he would be the quickest back to the edge

1115
00:59:19,160 --> 00:59:24,360
Speaker 1: on an outside run play. He conceivably could get to holes,

1116
00:59:25,200 --> 00:59:30,640
Speaker 1: you know, outside zone whatever, faster than the other two backs.

1117
00:59:31,600 --> 00:59:36,120
Speaker 1: So those are the advantages that speed would seem to provide.

1118
00:59:36,760 --> 00:59:38,320
Speaker 1: I mean, there's a bubble screen right there in the

1119
00:59:38,360 --> 00:59:45,880
Speaker 1: preseason against Green Bay. Those those would be advantageous reasons

1120
00:59:45,880 --> 00:59:48,320
Speaker 1: to put him on the field, right. Yeah, there's no

1121
00:59:48,480 --> 00:59:51,240
Speaker 1: question he um he's a bet. I think he's a

1122
00:59:51,280 --> 00:59:54,760
Speaker 1: bigger weapon in space than the other two because he

1123
00:59:54,800 --> 00:59:59,560
Speaker 1: can outrun most guys. Singletary and Moss don't. But Moss is,

1124
00:59:59,600 --> 01:00:02,880
Speaker 1: you know, as of physical power downhill runner. Yes, perhaps

1125
01:00:02,920 --> 01:00:07,520
Speaker 1: it could be that in total, Moss and Singletary compliment

1126
01:00:07,600 --> 01:00:12,520
Speaker 1: each other and are better options together. Than Brita and

1127
01:00:12,640 --> 01:00:14,760
Speaker 1: Moss or Brita and Singletary, And they just don't have

1128
01:00:14,840 --> 01:00:17,080
Speaker 1: room bringing him up because of Taiwan Jones and he's

1129
01:00:17,080 --> 01:00:18,720
Speaker 1: a running back, they bring him, they don't have enough

1130
01:00:18,760 --> 01:00:20,920
Speaker 1: room on the roster and the running game. I mean,

1131
01:00:20,960 --> 01:00:22,840
Speaker 1: they're not going to emphasize the running game more just

1132
01:00:22,840 --> 01:00:24,640
Speaker 1: because Breed is active. All right, So let me go

1133
01:00:25,000 --> 01:00:27,560
Speaker 1: let me ask this question. Then, do you think that

1134
01:00:27,640 --> 01:00:30,320
Speaker 1: when they put Matt Breda on the field they believe

1135
01:00:30,440 --> 01:00:33,400
Speaker 1: they are too predictable as an offense as opposed to

1136
01:00:33,520 --> 01:00:38,080
Speaker 1: Singletary or a Moss. No, No, okay, because nobody's seen

1137
01:00:38,200 --> 01:00:40,280
Speaker 1: him in this offense enough. You don't know what he is.

1138
01:00:40,400 --> 01:00:42,880
Speaker 1: You know what he's at. They've seen him in other

1139
01:00:42,920 --> 01:00:44,520
Speaker 1: teams and all that, and they haven't seen him with

1140
01:00:44,560 --> 01:00:48,080
Speaker 1: this quarterback. So no, I'm just trying to find reasons

1141
01:00:48,120 --> 01:00:50,480
Speaker 1: why he's not active, not up, That's all I'm trying

1142
01:00:50,480 --> 01:00:51,840
Speaker 1: to do here. Yeah, I think it has to do

1143
01:00:51,920 --> 01:00:54,520
Speaker 1: with his total skill set. He does some things really well,

1144
01:00:54,680 --> 01:00:58,600
Speaker 1: he doesn't do enough. Probably maybe his pass protection is

1145
01:00:59,320 --> 01:01:03,720
Speaker 1: not up to snow. Maybe it's he can't play any

1146
01:01:03,800 --> 01:01:07,919
Speaker 1: special teams. There's not available to space play special. Maybe

1147
01:01:07,920 --> 01:01:10,160
Speaker 1: he doesn't run was well inside, maybe he fumbles it

1148
01:01:10,240 --> 01:01:14,360
Speaker 1: in practice. Who knows. Um, it could be a million

1149
01:01:14,480 --> 01:01:18,880
Speaker 1: different things, But I agree with you his specific skill set.

1150
01:01:19,960 --> 01:01:22,640
Speaker 1: I wish I'd have had it yesterday, you know what

1151
01:01:22,680 --> 01:01:26,200
Speaker 1: I mean. That would have been affective. That would have

1152
01:01:26,240 --> 01:01:28,080
Speaker 1: been a game where you think, Okay, there's there's breed

1153
01:01:28,200 --> 01:01:29,560
Speaker 1: is in there. Analyt's seeing what they do with this,

1154
01:01:30,080 --> 01:01:31,720
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. But but you get into

1155
01:01:31,760 --> 01:01:33,040
Speaker 1: that game, you don't know you're gonna need well. I

1156
01:01:33,040 --> 01:01:35,160
Speaker 1: don't think any of us knew we were gonna need right,

1157
01:01:35,480 --> 01:01:38,160
Speaker 1: particularly in a game where you're just worried about getting

1158
01:01:38,200 --> 01:01:40,120
Speaker 1: five offensive linemen out there and hoping they stay in,

1159
01:01:40,320 --> 01:01:44,160
Speaker 1: you know, on two pins each. You know. So, yeah,

1160
01:01:44,200 --> 01:01:47,080
Speaker 1: there's a lot going on in this Breeder would have

1161
01:01:47,080 --> 01:01:50,640
Speaker 1: been maybe the perfect tool for what happened against Miami.

1162
01:01:51,320 --> 01:01:53,680
Speaker 1: That doesn't mean it's going to be that way going forward.

1163
01:01:54,360 --> 01:01:57,760
Speaker 1: Td Mac tweeted in and he said, does it seem

1164
01:01:57,840 --> 01:02:00,360
Speaker 1: like the Bills are forcing the run game in the

1165
01:02:00,480 --> 01:02:04,680
Speaker 1: pursuit of being two dimensional? Average guards plus average backs

1166
01:02:04,760 --> 01:02:08,320
Speaker 1: equals average run game at best? It feels like a

1167
01:02:08,400 --> 01:02:11,560
Speaker 1: wasted opportunity when Josh and or wide receivers are exceptional.

1168
01:02:12,000 --> 01:02:15,200
Speaker 1: While I would agree that the wide receivers Josh Allen

1169
01:02:15,240 --> 01:02:17,560
Speaker 1: in the passing game is the identity of this offense

1170
01:02:17,640 --> 01:02:21,520
Speaker 1: and probably its strength. I think anybody would tell you

1171
01:02:21,640 --> 01:02:25,560
Speaker 1: you can't do that all the time, you know, And

1172
01:02:25,720 --> 01:02:28,160
Speaker 1: for the most part, the Bills are about fifty seven

1173
01:02:28,240 --> 01:02:33,040
Speaker 1: percent pass forty three percent run this season, which is

1174
01:02:33,080 --> 01:02:34,920
Speaker 1: a little bit down from where it was last year

1175
01:02:34,960 --> 01:02:37,800
Speaker 1: when they simply could not run the ball at all. Yes,

1176
01:02:38,000 --> 01:02:40,560
Speaker 1: I know, Josh is a big part of the running equation.

1177
01:02:40,640 --> 01:02:43,520
Speaker 1: He's the second leading rusher on this team. He's one

1178
01:02:43,560 --> 01:02:46,160
Speaker 1: of the reasons they're eighth in the league in rushing.

1179
01:02:46,240 --> 01:02:48,439
Speaker 1: But I want you to think about this. They're only

1180
01:02:48,560 --> 01:02:51,680
Speaker 1: running forty three percent of the time. Their carries in

1181
01:02:51,800 --> 01:02:55,560
Speaker 1: comparison to other teams is down, and yet their yards

1182
01:02:55,600 --> 01:02:58,240
Speaker 1: per game on the ground is eighth best in football.

1183
01:02:59,200 --> 01:03:02,200
Speaker 1: Why because everybody else is throwing the ball all around

1184
01:03:02,200 --> 01:03:06,800
Speaker 1: the yard too. Yeah. Plus we've got a quarterback you

1185
01:03:06,880 --> 01:03:11,040
Speaker 1: can run. It helps. That's that's the big difference. You know,

1186
01:03:11,160 --> 01:03:15,680
Speaker 1: Josh led the team in rushing last this yesterday to yesterday. Yes, Um,

1187
01:03:17,240 --> 01:03:20,640
Speaker 1: that's a big difference. Because you know, Teddy Bridgewater's not

1188
01:03:20,800 --> 01:03:26,280
Speaker 1: doing that. Baker Mayfield's not doing that, you know, you know,

1189
01:03:26,360 --> 01:03:28,720
Speaker 1: even Zach Wilson, all these other nobody's doing that. So

1190
01:03:29,400 --> 01:03:33,240
Speaker 1: the Bill's run game is Singletary, Moss and Alan and

1191
01:03:33,360 --> 01:03:36,240
Speaker 1: not necessarily in that order. One of the things that

1192
01:03:37,880 --> 01:03:39,880
Speaker 1: has changed a little bit is the job. They're not

1193
01:03:41,040 --> 01:03:43,560
Speaker 1: Josh scrambled for a you know, thirty four yard or

1194
01:03:43,680 --> 01:03:47,320
Speaker 1: yesterday on that first half, which fifty seven yard or

1195
01:03:48,600 --> 01:03:51,400
Speaker 1: that isn't that's not a called run. No, he just

1196
01:03:51,440 --> 01:03:53,960
Speaker 1: saw wide open green grass. They've gotten away from colin

1197
01:03:54,080 --> 01:03:56,240
Speaker 1: Josh's number on a run game. They did it early

1198
01:03:56,280 --> 01:03:58,280
Speaker 1: in against Pittsburgh. Member he had like three or four

1199
01:03:58,360 --> 01:04:01,800
Speaker 1: quarterback draws. And I get all that, but Josh is

1200
01:04:01,840 --> 01:04:03,880
Speaker 1: a throwing quarterback now. It's not like he was when

1201
01:04:03,920 --> 01:04:06,240
Speaker 1: he was twenty eighteen, was a rookie. Yeah, he's a

1202
01:04:06,280 --> 01:04:09,200
Speaker 1: different player now, so I think even so, he picks

1203
01:04:09,240 --> 01:04:12,600
Speaker 1: his spots extremely well. When he does run, He's not

1204
01:04:12,680 --> 01:04:14,600
Speaker 1: afraid to get physically, he gets in. It's you know,

1205
01:04:15,200 --> 01:04:17,800
Speaker 1: it's as much about emotional lift as it is about

1206
01:04:17,840 --> 01:04:20,040
Speaker 1: getting the third first down. So you know that that

1207
01:04:20,160 --> 01:04:22,280
Speaker 1: play he runs off the corner off the side where

1208
01:04:22,320 --> 01:04:26,000
Speaker 1: he runs through like there's a huge pilot bodies there

1209
01:04:26,040 --> 01:04:29,120
Speaker 1: and Josh somehow just pops through and gets the first down,

1210
01:04:29,280 --> 01:04:31,960
Speaker 1: fumbles out on the tumbles out on the Bill's sideline

1211
01:04:32,040 --> 01:04:33,440
Speaker 1: right there, and then of course they busts into the

1212
01:04:33,520 --> 01:04:36,160
Speaker 1: end zone on the run late in the game to

1213
01:04:36,280 --> 01:04:40,560
Speaker 1: ice the game. Those kind of runs you kind of

1214
01:04:40,600 --> 01:04:43,520
Speaker 1: forget about, but they count. Yeah, you know, you can

1215
01:04:43,520 --> 01:04:45,560
Speaker 1: forget about because they're emotional, so you guys are going

1216
01:04:45,600 --> 01:04:47,960
Speaker 1: crazy on the sideline. That lifts the whole team. But yeah,

1217
01:04:48,000 --> 01:04:49,680
Speaker 1: it's just a it's a four yard run, and I

1218
01:04:49,760 --> 01:04:52,680
Speaker 1: don't think you can characterize it as the Bills forcing

1219
01:04:52,760 --> 01:04:55,440
Speaker 1: the run game when at the end of the day

1220
01:04:55,560 --> 01:04:58,440
Speaker 1: yesterday it's almost two to one pass to run. It's

1221
01:04:58,520 --> 01:05:01,080
Speaker 1: forty three pass attempts, three rushes. I mean that's like

1222
01:05:01,120 --> 01:05:03,240
Speaker 1: a two to one margin. Yeah, you can't say they're

1223
01:05:03,320 --> 01:05:06,000
Speaker 1: forcing the run. They're throwing it twice as much in

1224
01:05:06,080 --> 01:05:08,280
Speaker 1: a game that was three to three. Yeah, I don't

1225
01:05:08,360 --> 01:05:14,080
Speaker 1: think the Bills care. In the big picture. They make

1226
01:05:14,160 --> 01:05:18,080
Speaker 1: care forty three percent to fifty seven percent or sixty

1227
01:05:18,160 --> 01:05:20,800
Speaker 1: forty whatever you want to call it. In the big picture,

1228
01:05:20,840 --> 01:05:23,600
Speaker 1: they make care, but they're they're going into each first down,

1229
01:05:23,720 --> 01:05:26,040
Speaker 1: second down. That's why yesterday you saw a couple of

1230
01:05:26,080 --> 01:05:29,000
Speaker 1: times it's second nine, second and eight, second and ten

1231
01:05:29,160 --> 01:05:32,600
Speaker 1: or whatever, and the Bills are handing it off. That

1232
01:05:32,800 --> 01:05:35,560
Speaker 1: has to do with a game plan going into the game,

1233
01:05:36,520 --> 01:05:38,840
Speaker 1: whereas you see something that might work and you want

1234
01:05:38,880 --> 01:05:41,720
Speaker 1: to try it and force them to defend it. That's

1235
01:05:41,800 --> 01:05:43,960
Speaker 1: not about going, Okay, it's a third and a second

1236
01:05:43,960 --> 01:05:45,400
Speaker 1: and nine, but man, we need to mix in a

1237
01:05:45,520 --> 01:05:48,520
Speaker 1: run here. No, it's like, no, here's what's gonna happen.

1238
01:05:48,560 --> 01:05:50,240
Speaker 1: Here's the defense that you think they're gonna run on

1239
01:05:50,280 --> 01:05:52,560
Speaker 1: second and eight. And we got this play drawn up.

1240
01:05:52,600 --> 01:05:54,600
Speaker 1: Let's see if we can execute it. And they didn't.

1241
01:05:55,240 --> 01:05:57,160
Speaker 1: And that's what it boils down to. It's not Brian

1242
01:05:57,240 --> 01:06:00,200
Speaker 1: day ball up there with a slide rule keeping ratios. Now,

1243
01:06:00,280 --> 01:06:02,480
Speaker 1: he's like, no, in this situation, they're gonna do this,

1244
01:06:03,000 --> 01:06:05,240
Speaker 1: So run this play and execute it and we'll see

1245
01:06:05,880 --> 01:06:09,640
Speaker 1: and then when it doesn't work, you know, it's like,

1246
01:06:10,440 --> 01:06:12,840
Speaker 1: what's wrong with you? Well, that's the thing. That's what

1247
01:06:12,960 --> 01:06:15,280
Speaker 1: you get at halftime, right, What are they doing out there?

1248
01:06:15,480 --> 01:06:17,240
Speaker 1: Why do they think they can run the ball? What

1249
01:06:17,360 --> 01:06:19,560
Speaker 1: the hell's wrong with those guys, Like, this is what

1250
01:06:19,680 --> 01:06:22,360
Speaker 1: I hear when I go out at halftime. So they go,

1251
01:06:22,480 --> 01:06:24,840
Speaker 1: see what's wrong with those guys? Going to check out,

1252
01:06:25,240 --> 01:06:27,200
Speaker 1: check in with my family who's in the stands at

1253
01:06:27,200 --> 01:06:29,160
Speaker 1: the game, and try to catch up with them at halftime.

1254
01:06:29,480 --> 01:06:32,360
Speaker 1: And as I'm walking over to where they are, that's

1255
01:06:32,400 --> 01:06:34,800
Speaker 1: what I'm getting routing What the heck are they doing

1256
01:06:34,880 --> 01:06:36,880
Speaker 1: out there? How am they not throwing the ball down

1257
01:06:36,920 --> 01:06:38,960
Speaker 1: the field? Like there's seven dbs back there, what do

1258
01:06:39,000 --> 01:06:41,120
Speaker 1: you want them to do? Like? Where do you want

1259
01:06:41,160 --> 01:06:44,560
Speaker 1: them to throw the ball. There's seven defensive backs, two

1260
01:06:44,720 --> 01:06:47,640
Speaker 1: linemen and two linebackers running around up front and seven

1261
01:06:47,720 --> 01:06:49,760
Speaker 1: guys in coverage. Where do you want them to go

1262
01:06:49,840 --> 01:06:54,000
Speaker 1: with the ball. That's ridiculous. Tell them to stop throwing

1263
01:06:54,040 --> 01:06:56,400
Speaker 1: those screen passes. They're not getting anything on that. It's

1264
01:06:56,400 --> 01:06:58,560
Speaker 1: like it's like, oh yeah, I'll get right over to

1265
01:06:58,680 --> 01:07:01,520
Speaker 1: them and let them know text dayball right now. Hold on,

1266
01:07:01,560 --> 01:07:05,640
Speaker 1: I got him online one here. It's unbelievable. Popill just

1267
01:07:05,760 --> 01:07:09,840
Speaker 1: get so hot and bothered. Halftime. It's like when people

1268
01:07:09,880 --> 01:07:14,680
Speaker 1: are at there that the victory. I've been there. You

1269
01:07:14,840 --> 01:07:16,760
Speaker 1: talked to Jay Harris out here, He's sitting next to

1270
01:07:16,760 --> 01:07:18,560
Speaker 1: me in the radio booth. Maddy's sitting next to me

1271
01:07:18,680 --> 01:07:20,640
Speaker 1: up in the bro behind Murf because it's you know,

1272
01:07:20,680 --> 01:07:22,760
Speaker 1: we've got their space there. We can watch the game

1273
01:07:23,080 --> 01:07:27,400
Speaker 1: fairly easily. And and and I am, I am slapping

1274
01:07:27,480 --> 01:07:29,520
Speaker 1: the counter, I'm getting up and walking. I like what

1275
01:07:30,720 --> 01:07:34,400
Speaker 1: I'm that that intentional grounding on Josh. I was like, yeah, yeah,

1276
01:07:35,120 --> 01:07:37,800
Speaker 1: my head was gonna explode. And I'm you know, the

1277
01:07:38,400 --> 01:07:40,800
Speaker 1: Jay's worried. I'm it's gonna bleed onto the broadcast with

1278
01:07:40,920 --> 01:07:43,360
Speaker 1: Murf Mike, right. I I'm just losing my mind and

1279
01:07:43,520 --> 01:07:47,240
Speaker 1: going nuts. And oh so, I'm like the fans are

1280
01:07:47,240 --> 01:07:49,440
Speaker 1: the same way. That's the point in the game at halftime,

1281
01:07:49,520 --> 01:07:53,600
Speaker 1: when you are all of us as Bills, people are

1282
01:07:54,080 --> 01:08:00,160
Speaker 1: totally immersed and totally emotionally involved. We're beyond reason at

1283
01:08:00,240 --> 01:08:03,400
Speaker 1: times in the same way. Right, And you know, the

1284
01:08:03,520 --> 01:08:06,440
Speaker 1: expectations are higher than they've ever been. And when you've

1285
01:08:06,440 --> 01:08:08,720
Speaker 1: throttled the team like the Dolphins as many times as

1286
01:08:08,760 --> 01:08:12,280
Speaker 1: you had in recent history, the expectation is that's just

1287
01:08:12,360 --> 01:08:14,840
Speaker 1: kind of do it again. I just gonna wipe the

1288
01:08:14,920 --> 01:08:16,920
Speaker 1: flour with these guys. It'll be twenty to nothing. And

1289
01:08:17,080 --> 01:08:19,120
Speaker 1: after the first quarter. The problem is and then when

1290
01:08:19,160 --> 01:08:23,560
Speaker 1: you don't, it's catasts It's not just a lot, it's catastrophic.

1291
01:08:24,040 --> 01:08:27,320
Speaker 1: Yeah they do it. What the heck is rock right?

1292
01:08:27,560 --> 01:08:29,760
Speaker 1: Why can't they do? It's catastrophic when you lose a game,

1293
01:08:29,840 --> 01:08:32,160
Speaker 1: like you know, the Tennessee game was almost like, okay,

1294
01:08:32,200 --> 01:08:33,880
Speaker 1: they're a good team. We went down there on the road.

1295
01:08:33,880 --> 01:08:43,400
Speaker 1: We had a chance. Okay, the Dolphins, why right? Why

1296
01:08:43,720 --> 01:08:46,880
Speaker 1: what are they thinking? What? You gotta do it? Yeah?

1297
01:08:46,920 --> 01:08:50,080
Speaker 1: You got it? Yeah. I gotta just I gotta just

1298
01:08:50,200 --> 01:08:53,040
Speaker 1: start right there. The next time I go out, I

1299
01:08:53,200 --> 01:08:56,680
Speaker 1: just gotta put my phone on roll video and just

1300
01:08:56,880 --> 01:09:01,479
Speaker 1: keep it at my side. Because the audience alone is

1301
01:09:01,880 --> 01:09:05,879
Speaker 1: primetime entertainment value. It's just people are hot. At halftime,

1302
01:09:06,000 --> 01:09:09,360
Speaker 1: I got to go cool off. We wanted to pass

1303
01:09:09,400 --> 01:09:14,200
Speaker 1: along a couple of comments from postgame last night or

1304
01:09:14,439 --> 01:09:20,639
Speaker 1: late yesterday afternoon. Obviously we saw Josh Allen address the media,

1305
01:09:21,000 --> 01:09:23,120
Speaker 1: So it's time to go around the locker room. Here,

1306
01:09:23,200 --> 01:09:27,599
Speaker 1: presented by Connect Life, your Blood and organ Donor Network,

1307
01:09:28,760 --> 01:09:34,920
Speaker 1: We'll start with coach, who I thought very accurately portrayed

1308
01:09:35,000 --> 01:09:39,080
Speaker 1: the offensive struggles that the offense had in the first

1309
01:09:39,120 --> 01:09:41,200
Speaker 1: half of the game. So here is coach McDermott on

1310
01:09:41,400 --> 01:09:44,880
Speaker 1: the slow start offensively, we were spending the dial a

1311
01:09:44,960 --> 01:09:48,599
Speaker 1: little bit trying to find answers. And give Miami credit,

1312
01:09:48,680 --> 01:09:50,519
Speaker 1: they had a a little bit off balance there in

1313
01:09:50,560 --> 01:09:56,000
Speaker 1: the first half, and you know, did some things quite honestly,

1314
01:09:56,040 --> 01:09:59,800
Speaker 1: that they had success with in that first game, but

1315
01:10:00,040 --> 01:10:01,880
Speaker 1: didn't do them as much in that first game as

1316
01:10:01,920 --> 01:10:07,760
Speaker 1: they came out today and did so. But again we

1317
01:10:08,000 --> 01:10:10,560
Speaker 1: we eventually found the answer and found the rhythm and

1318
01:10:10,840 --> 01:10:14,120
Speaker 1: and I give Brian Dable credit and the entire offensive staff.

1319
01:10:14,360 --> 01:10:17,479
Speaker 1: Margins are tight in this league every week, no matter

1320
01:10:17,560 --> 01:10:20,800
Speaker 1: who you play, and and uh, and that's what we

1321
01:10:20,920 --> 01:10:25,960
Speaker 1: have to expect. So, um, you know, the details important,

1322
01:10:26,000 --> 01:10:29,639
Speaker 1: the discipline that we carry into every game, and us improving.

1323
01:10:29,680 --> 01:10:31,240
Speaker 1: We have certainly a lot to improve on, as you

1324
01:10:31,320 --> 01:10:34,799
Speaker 1: guys saw, and um, you know, so it's it's important

1325
01:10:34,800 --> 01:10:37,640
Speaker 1: that we bring all that every week. Yeah, I mean,

1326
01:10:37,720 --> 01:10:42,720
Speaker 1: that's that's why McDermott has the philosophy that he does

1327
01:10:42,760 --> 01:10:45,760
Speaker 1: with his players get better every day because you don't

1328
01:10:45,840 --> 01:10:48,680
Speaker 1: know the week you might be playing a one win

1329
01:10:48,760 --> 01:10:50,519
Speaker 1: team that they sneak up on you and bite you

1330
01:10:51,000 --> 01:10:53,360
Speaker 1: or throw something at you. You haven't seen before, and

1331
01:10:53,479 --> 01:10:56,320
Speaker 1: you got to find your bearings again and then find

1332
01:10:56,360 --> 01:10:59,799
Speaker 1: the consistency to execute in half of a game instead

1333
01:10:59,840 --> 01:11:01,880
Speaker 1: of the entire game, because you spent the first half

1334
01:11:01,920 --> 01:11:03,320
Speaker 1: trying to figure out what the heck they were doing

1335
01:11:03,400 --> 01:11:06,040
Speaker 1: over there. I gotta tell you that before we go

1336
01:11:06,120 --> 01:11:07,760
Speaker 1: to Brayton. Maddy. He's coming up after the break. But

1337
01:11:08,320 --> 01:11:11,400
Speaker 1: I I spent some time on the field yesterday before

1338
01:11:11,439 --> 01:11:13,000
Speaker 1: the game and the during pre games. I was talking

1339
01:11:13,040 --> 01:11:15,080
Speaker 1: to Marine Dan Marino, and he and I are friend

1340
01:11:15,120 --> 01:11:16,880
Speaker 1: when friends for a long time. Jim was down there,

1341
01:11:16,960 --> 01:11:21,400
Speaker 1: Kelly was down there, and I was talking to um,

1342
01:11:21,680 --> 01:11:23,760
Speaker 1: you know, Brandon, Brandon Bean was down there. I was

1343
01:11:23,800 --> 01:11:25,320
Speaker 1: talking with him and it was just a circle of

1344
01:11:25,360 --> 01:11:26,880
Speaker 1: guys and I was kind of like the odd man out.

1345
01:11:26,920 --> 01:11:29,160
Speaker 1: I was like the you know, so it was was

1346
01:11:29,240 --> 01:11:33,559
Speaker 1: the Miami GM Greer his top guy, and Joe Shane

1347
01:11:33,600 --> 01:11:36,760
Speaker 1: and Brandon, Dan Marie. And then I was like, I

1348
01:11:36,960 --> 01:11:40,200
Speaker 1: was saying that right, so fly on the wall right exactly,

1349
01:11:40,560 --> 01:11:43,160
Speaker 1: And the conversation was yeah, I mean it's you know,

1350
01:11:43,240 --> 01:11:45,320
Speaker 1: you put this thing together. The hard part is maintaining

1351
01:11:45,360 --> 01:11:48,360
Speaker 1: it and keeping it going. Um. But the more I

1352
01:11:48,479 --> 01:11:50,479
Speaker 1: talked to these guys are these high level positions and

1353
01:11:50,600 --> 01:11:53,280
Speaker 1: what goes into their job. And you hear mcdermam were

1354
01:11:53,520 --> 01:11:55,240
Speaker 1: the reason I'm talking about this is because of McDermott

1355
01:11:55,240 --> 01:11:57,479
Speaker 1: and what he just said. And we, you know, we say, yeah,

1356
01:11:57,479 --> 01:12:00,680
Speaker 1: he's got this philosophy of everybody getting better. At that philosophy.

1357
01:12:00,680 --> 01:12:04,640
Speaker 1: I've had other head coaches who stunk in their one

1358
01:12:04,720 --> 01:12:08,000
Speaker 1: loss record and aren't head coaches anymore, say the same thing.

1359
01:12:09,600 --> 01:12:11,200
Speaker 1: You know, I just want my guys to get better.

1360
01:12:11,439 --> 01:12:14,040
Speaker 1: I'm just I preach improvement. That's what I preach, and

1361
01:12:14,080 --> 01:12:15,240
Speaker 1: that's the thing to do. I know what I want

1362
01:12:15,240 --> 01:12:17,640
Speaker 1: to do that it doesn't work for them. It's not

1363
01:12:17,760 --> 01:12:20,519
Speaker 1: so much about just saying these platitudes and having this

1364
01:12:20,720 --> 01:12:24,920
Speaker 1: ideas and this this philosophy out in the out in

1365
01:12:25,000 --> 01:12:28,080
Speaker 1: the nether regions of you know, of you know, your

1366
01:12:28,120 --> 01:12:32,600
Speaker 1: mind of noo. There's there's more to it than just

1367
01:12:32,680 --> 01:12:34,800
Speaker 1: being able to speak those words and whatever it is

1368
01:12:34,880 --> 01:12:38,040
Speaker 1: that Sean McDermott does. And these like Mike Tomlins of

1369
01:12:38,080 --> 01:12:41,040
Speaker 1: the world and Bill Belichick's of the world, and you know,

1370
01:12:42,200 --> 01:12:46,840
Speaker 1: these successful coaches like Sean McVay, Sean Payton's, these guys

1371
01:12:46,880 --> 01:12:50,560
Speaker 1: that are really good head coaches. There's more to it

1372
01:12:50,640 --> 01:12:52,559
Speaker 1: than just being able to say that to your players.

1373
01:12:52,720 --> 01:12:56,720
Speaker 1: And McDermott and his crew have you know, have demonstrated

1374
01:12:56,800 --> 01:12:59,320
Speaker 1: that there they've got all of that other stuff and

1375
01:12:59,560 --> 01:13:01,200
Speaker 1: it's easy just sit here and have a show. And

1376
01:13:01,280 --> 01:13:03,000
Speaker 1: I get it. It's coach speak. It's it's in a

1377
01:13:03,040 --> 01:13:05,599
Speaker 1: press conference. It's not you know, it's not divulging any

1378
01:13:05,960 --> 01:13:09,280
Speaker 1: you know, nuclear codes or nobody sweats. He sweats the details.

1379
01:13:09,360 --> 01:13:12,639
Speaker 1: That's what he does. Makes his players sweat the details too.

1380
01:13:12,800 --> 01:13:18,240
Speaker 1: The difference is for these guys they've got they take

1381
01:13:18,360 --> 01:13:22,000
Speaker 1: action and help these guys do it. They empower their

1382
01:13:22,000 --> 01:13:24,200
Speaker 1: players to get better. They make them believe they should

1383
01:13:24,240 --> 01:13:27,360
Speaker 1: get better and give them an appetite to work hard

1384
01:13:27,439 --> 01:13:31,599
Speaker 1: to get better. That's hard to do and there's about

1385
01:13:31,640 --> 01:13:37,800
Speaker 1: a billion things in that recipe. And some coaches get

1386
01:13:37,840 --> 01:13:41,800
Speaker 1: a lot of them right, some don't. And you hear

1387
01:13:41,840 --> 01:13:45,600
Speaker 1: a guy like Sean McDermott going and said, listen, you know,

1388
01:13:45,720 --> 01:13:48,559
Speaker 1: you gotta give Brian Flores and his staff some credit.

1389
01:13:48,640 --> 01:13:51,880
Speaker 1: Those guys, aren't you know, they're they're not jokers, you know,

1390
01:13:51,960 --> 01:13:53,840
Speaker 1: he said, listen, they got they We had to spend

1391
01:13:53,880 --> 01:13:55,680
Speaker 1: the dial they had us. We you know, we're trying

1392
01:13:55,720 --> 01:13:58,160
Speaker 1: to figure this out. You're not an a vacuument. It's

1393
01:13:58,240 --> 01:14:00,720
Speaker 1: hard in the NFL, and I was. And one of

1394
01:14:00,760 --> 01:14:02,639
Speaker 1: the things that came out of that conversation on the field,

1395
01:14:02,720 --> 01:14:06,040
Speaker 1: just with all those guys, with Brandon being Greer and Marinos,

1396
01:14:06,479 --> 01:14:10,640
Speaker 1: it's like, hey, if it was easy, everybody doing it

1397
01:14:11,040 --> 01:14:12,880
Speaker 1: and they all kind of laugh that it ain't easy.

1398
01:14:13,360 --> 01:14:17,479
Speaker 1: And so as as bad as that first half look yesterday,

1399
01:14:17,560 --> 01:14:19,760
Speaker 1: that's what it is. That's the life you've chosen. If

1400
01:14:19,800 --> 01:14:22,599
Speaker 1: you're an NFL player and coach, you're gonna you're gonna

1401
01:14:22,600 --> 01:14:26,560
Speaker 1: get embarrassed and humiliated and sometimes just flat beat in

1402
01:14:26,640 --> 01:14:29,280
Speaker 1: a half or a game or a season or whatever.

1403
01:14:29,439 --> 01:14:32,400
Speaker 1: So the Bills are good enough at this point in

1404
01:14:32,520 --> 01:14:36,439
Speaker 1: history to play as bad as it looked offensively in

1405
01:14:36,479 --> 01:14:39,639
Speaker 1: that first half, but good enough defensively to make their

1406
01:14:39,680 --> 01:14:43,680
Speaker 1: team look just as bad and come out and outstretch

1407
01:14:43,760 --> 01:14:47,559
Speaker 1: them in the second half. It's there's just so much

1408
01:14:47,680 --> 01:14:49,439
Speaker 1: in this game. So why we all love it so much?

1409
01:14:49,680 --> 01:14:52,360
Speaker 1: That it is so complicated and so complex, And it

1410
01:14:52,439 --> 01:14:56,040
Speaker 1: has to do with personalities and skill sets and philosophies

1411
01:14:56,880 --> 01:15:00,760
Speaker 1: and temperament and it's just it's compelling watch. You know,

1412
01:15:00,800 --> 01:15:02,760
Speaker 1: you can't get enough of a game like that yesterday. Man,

1413
01:15:02,920 --> 01:15:05,960
Speaker 1: what a blast. And it is hard. Because Brian floor

1414
01:15:06,120 --> 01:15:08,240
Speaker 1: is the head coach of the Dolphins, who was now

1415
01:15:08,320 --> 01:15:10,960
Speaker 1: in the midst of a seven game losing streak. Took

1416
01:15:11,040 --> 01:15:13,000
Speaker 1: him a while to come out to the postgame lectern

1417
01:15:13,600 --> 01:15:15,920
Speaker 1: after the game. The media asked him, you know what

1418
01:15:16,040 --> 01:15:19,200
Speaker 1: took him so long, and he said, I had to

1419
01:15:19,280 --> 01:15:22,519
Speaker 1: sit there and just think about this for a second,

1420
01:15:22,600 --> 01:15:26,240
Speaker 1: because it's now seven losses in a row, and it's hard.

1421
01:15:27,240 --> 01:15:31,679
Speaker 1: And I don't envy that guy, because it is hard.

1422
01:15:31,920 --> 01:15:34,200
Speaker 1: And we've seen seasons like that here the Bills in

1423
01:15:34,320 --> 01:15:36,840
Speaker 1: twenty ten, first year under Chan Gailey, they lost the

1424
01:15:36,920 --> 01:15:40,960
Speaker 1: first eight games, so we've seen it here. It's not easy.

1425
01:15:41,080 --> 01:15:44,599
Speaker 1: It is hard, and you know, he probably felt like, man,

1426
01:15:45,080 --> 01:15:46,960
Speaker 1: we had their number in the first half. We were

1427
01:15:47,080 --> 01:15:49,519
Speaker 1: right there. We're in a tie game, and we can't

1428
01:15:49,560 --> 01:15:51,560
Speaker 1: put the thing away. And now it's seven losses in

1429
01:15:51,600 --> 01:15:53,400
Speaker 1: a row. And even Bill's fans will tell you right

1430
01:15:53,439 --> 01:15:56,439
Speaker 1: now that's where they sit. Because I think Bills and

1431
01:15:56,720 --> 01:15:59,519
Speaker 1: you gotta believe Sean mcdermots, gotta believe that if if

1432
01:15:59,680 --> 01:16:01,880
Speaker 1: he lets takes his foot off the gas or lets

1433
01:16:01,920 --> 01:16:03,360
Speaker 1: his players take their foot off the gas, there the

1434
01:16:03,400 --> 01:16:06,200
Speaker 1: next teams can have a seven game losing streak. It

1435
01:16:06,280 --> 01:16:09,880
Speaker 1: can happen. That's hand turned quickly. It turns around in

1436
01:16:09,960 --> 01:16:13,400
Speaker 1: a minute, and you've got to You've got to continue

1437
01:16:13,479 --> 01:16:16,080
Speaker 1: even when things are flying high, you gotta continue to

1438
01:16:16,160 --> 01:16:18,880
Speaker 1: strive to make sure it doesn't. It is a never

1439
01:16:19,040 --> 01:16:21,800
Speaker 1: ending battle. Break time here. When we come back, it's

1440
01:16:21,840 --> 01:16:24,479
Speaker 1: time for the Maddie Awards. Maddie Glab will join us

1448
01:17:03,800 --> 01:17:06,880
Speaker 1: How are you. I'm so happy to be back on

1449
01:17:07,120 --> 01:17:09,759
Speaker 1: with the squad. I mean I took a two week hiatus,

1450
01:17:09,960 --> 01:17:12,840
Speaker 1: you know, had a bye week and a sad loss

1451
01:17:12,920 --> 01:17:15,479
Speaker 1: of the Titans. But we're back. We're stronger than ever.

1452
01:17:16,120 --> 01:17:18,760
Speaker 1: Uh maybe we can make it a week two week

1453
01:17:18,840 --> 01:17:21,559
Speaker 1: thing like we did last year winning six straight games.

1454
01:17:21,720 --> 01:17:24,640
Speaker 1: I would be final that. Those are my expectations. So

1455
01:17:24,960 --> 01:17:28,840
Speaker 1: you know we're starting off on the right foot here. Yeah,

1456
01:17:28,920 --> 01:17:30,760
Speaker 1: we only took a week off last year whenever we

1457
01:17:30,840 --> 01:17:35,080
Speaker 1: felt like it, you know, so frankly right, Okay, I'll

1458
01:17:35,080 --> 01:17:36,880
Speaker 1: sign up. So we're so we're This is a game

1459
01:17:36,920 --> 01:17:39,280
Speaker 1: that was weird's a tailor two halves. Both teams scored

1460
01:17:39,320 --> 01:17:41,719
Speaker 1: three points in the first half. It was a snooze fest,

1461
01:17:42,160 --> 01:17:44,560
Speaker 1: and then the second half Bills kicked it in and

1462
01:17:44,760 --> 01:17:47,080
Speaker 1: and the Dolphins played a little better offensively as well.

1463
01:17:47,160 --> 01:17:49,160
Speaker 1: But you know, this was a story. I mean, where

1464
01:17:49,200 --> 01:17:50,800
Speaker 1: did you begin with your Maddie Awards? Let me just

1465
01:17:50,880 --> 01:17:54,519
Speaker 1: start there. Yeah, let's just begin with our Clutch Award,

1466
01:17:54,600 --> 01:17:57,680
Speaker 1: because there were some clutch performances in the second half

1467
01:17:57,720 --> 01:18:00,200
Speaker 1: of this game that made the win truly possible ball

1468
01:18:00,320 --> 01:18:03,560
Speaker 1: or the opportunity of winning possible. And I have to

1469
01:18:03,600 --> 01:18:06,240
Speaker 1: give back to Colebasley. I mean, he was lights out

1470
01:18:06,360 --> 01:18:08,760
Speaker 1: in the second half. I called him mister first down

1471
01:18:08,840 --> 01:18:11,439
Speaker 1: in our postgame show because that's what he was able

1472
01:18:11,520 --> 01:18:13,880
Speaker 1: to give the Buffalo Bills and the third and fourth quarter.

1473
01:18:14,000 --> 01:18:16,719
Speaker 1: I mean he racked up ten receptions for one hundred

1474
01:18:16,760 --> 01:18:20,120
Speaker 1: and ten yards in that game. He moved into twenty

1475
01:18:20,200 --> 01:18:24,360
Speaker 1: fourth for the Buffalo Bills all time receiving yards lists.

1476
01:18:24,439 --> 01:18:28,080
Speaker 1: So he really showed why he's an important factor and

1477
01:18:28,200 --> 01:18:32,080
Speaker 1: important figure to this Buffalo Bills offense. And he had

1478
01:18:32,160 --> 01:18:36,120
Speaker 1: four catches on that really long thirteen play drive where

1479
01:18:36,160 --> 01:18:38,920
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills went eighty yards to score and went

1480
01:18:39,040 --> 01:18:41,800
Speaker 1: up ten to three. So in some of those long

1481
01:18:41,960 --> 01:18:45,479
Speaker 1: drives he was who Josh turned two. They have such

1482
01:18:45,520 --> 01:18:48,640
Speaker 1: a great connection. They have great chemistry, and when you

1483
01:18:48,800 --> 01:18:50,680
Speaker 1: see it on the field and when you see it

1484
01:18:51,000 --> 01:18:54,160
Speaker 1: work the way that it did last night, it's just

1485
01:18:54,880 --> 01:18:58,760
Speaker 1: so great to watch. So clutch performance goes to Colbasley.

1486
01:18:59,080 --> 01:19:00,800
Speaker 1: I think if he didn't turn it on in the

1487
01:19:00,880 --> 01:19:04,080
Speaker 1: second half, if they didn't find that connection, I don't

1488
01:19:04,080 --> 01:19:05,840
Speaker 1: know if the Buffalo Bills would have won that game

1489
01:19:05,880 --> 01:19:08,960
Speaker 1: because he was just so important to the offense in

1490
01:19:09,040 --> 01:19:11,439
Speaker 1: the second half. Yeah, eight passes eighty nine yards in

1491
01:19:11,479 --> 01:19:15,080
Speaker 1: the second half alone, including five that moved the sticks

1492
01:19:15,520 --> 01:19:18,519
Speaker 1: and kept Buffalo's drives alive. He had a third and

1493
01:19:18,600 --> 01:19:21,560
Speaker 1: fourteen at the Bills twenty one, like early in the

1494
01:19:22,000 --> 01:19:23,559
Speaker 1: midway in the third Cord. That was a big one

1495
01:19:23,640 --> 01:19:27,200
Speaker 1: for him for sure. Okay, so this one I've not

1496
01:19:27,360 --> 01:19:30,759
Speaker 1: seen before. This is a new category, the Tenacious Grip Award.

1497
01:19:32,200 --> 01:19:35,840
Speaker 1: The Tenacious Award is going to the second half adjustments.

1498
01:19:36,000 --> 01:19:37,720
Speaker 1: I was trying to figure out like a word that

1499
01:19:37,800 --> 01:19:40,080
Speaker 1: could go along with what happened in the second half

1500
01:19:40,160 --> 01:19:42,519
Speaker 1: from the difference of the first half of the second half,

1501
01:19:42,560 --> 01:19:44,920
Speaker 1: and I just settled on the word tenacious. I mean,

1502
01:19:45,400 --> 01:19:47,320
Speaker 1: when you look at the first half, they scored on

1503
01:19:47,479 --> 01:19:51,639
Speaker 1: one of six drives sixteen percent. Second half they scored

1504
01:19:51,720 --> 01:19:54,479
Speaker 1: on four of their five drives, which is eighty percent.

1505
01:19:54,880 --> 01:19:57,679
Speaker 1: We know going into this game, the Buffalo Bills ranked

1506
01:19:57,760 --> 01:20:01,519
Speaker 1: first in scoring efficiency, doing it almost fifty three percent

1507
01:20:01,600 --> 01:20:04,000
Speaker 1: of the time, and in the first half they didn't

1508
01:20:04,000 --> 01:20:06,360
Speaker 1: look like a team who did at fifty three percent

1509
01:20:06,400 --> 01:20:08,680
Speaker 1: of the time because they were scoring at such a

1510
01:20:08,840 --> 01:20:11,719
Speaker 1: low rate. But the second half, what they were able

1511
01:20:11,800 --> 01:20:14,160
Speaker 1: to do go in the locker room, make those adjustments.

1512
01:20:14,280 --> 01:20:16,680
Speaker 1: The Dolphins defense was doing a great job in the

1513
01:20:16,760 --> 01:20:20,080
Speaker 1: first half. Without guys like Jerome Baker, I kind of

1514
01:20:20,439 --> 01:20:22,840
Speaker 1: thought we would just have another field day with the

1515
01:20:22,880 --> 01:20:25,840
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins because he was out and that wasn't the case.

1516
01:20:26,000 --> 01:20:28,400
Speaker 1: So I think for them to be able to be

1517
01:20:28,520 --> 01:20:32,719
Speaker 1: able to find the answers and to string plays together,

1518
01:20:33,400 --> 01:20:35,960
Speaker 1: to find guys like Cole Beasley to light it up,

1519
01:20:36,000 --> 01:20:39,240
Speaker 1: and for the defense to just stay so strong throughout

1520
01:20:39,280 --> 01:20:41,400
Speaker 1: the whole game. I was talking about this in our

1521
01:20:41,439 --> 01:20:44,600
Speaker 1: postgame show. It's the signs of a good team. Not

1522
01:20:44,760 --> 01:20:47,800
Speaker 1: every team can have a three to three score at

1523
01:20:47,800 --> 01:20:50,439
Speaker 1: halftime and then score twenty three points in the second

1524
01:20:50,479 --> 01:20:54,360
Speaker 1: half to win the game. This team has a lot

1525
01:20:54,400 --> 01:20:56,519
Speaker 1: of veteran leadership, they have a lot of good players,

1526
01:20:56,880 --> 01:20:59,400
Speaker 1: and when one guy is down, they're able to find

1527
01:20:59,479 --> 01:21:02,840
Speaker 1: somebody else who can light up the scoreboard, light up

1528
01:21:02,880 --> 01:21:05,000
Speaker 1: the offense. And that's what they were able to do

1529
01:21:05,080 --> 01:21:06,679
Speaker 1: in the second half. And that's why I think they're

1530
01:21:06,800 --> 01:21:09,760
Speaker 1: tenacious in this one. Yeah, I agree, But in at

1531
01:21:09,840 --> 01:21:13,080
Speaker 1: first half, where it was probably the least enjoyable first

1532
01:21:13,120 --> 01:21:16,960
Speaker 1: half or half of any game in the season, one

1533
01:21:17,080 --> 01:21:19,920
Speaker 1: guy actually stood out and had had a great first

1534
01:21:19,960 --> 01:21:22,760
Speaker 1: half of this Miami game, and you're you're giving him

1535
01:21:22,840 --> 01:21:26,800
Speaker 1: your came to Play award. Yeah, I came to play.

1536
01:21:26,960 --> 01:21:30,000
Speaker 1: How about Ed Oliver. He had a smile on his

1537
01:21:30,200 --> 01:21:33,040
Speaker 1: face from the beginning of that game with the way

1538
01:21:33,080 --> 01:21:35,439
Speaker 1: that he was able to put pressure on the Dolphins.

1539
01:21:35,520 --> 01:21:38,599
Speaker 1: He had that huge third down stop. The Dolphins were

1540
01:21:38,640 --> 01:21:41,760
Speaker 1: on Buffalo's thirty one yard line and he was able

1541
01:21:41,800 --> 01:21:44,400
Speaker 1: to limit the Dolphins to just a field goal. And

1542
01:21:44,520 --> 01:21:47,040
Speaker 1: it's so good to see a player like him have

1543
01:21:47,200 --> 01:21:49,120
Speaker 1: a good game. I mean, this is the year that

1544
01:21:49,240 --> 01:21:51,600
Speaker 1: we need to see Ed Oliver step up. This is

1545
01:21:51,640 --> 01:21:53,840
Speaker 1: the year where we need to see Ed Oliver really

1546
01:21:53,920 --> 01:21:56,439
Speaker 1: have a big presence. I know a lot last year

1547
01:21:56,520 --> 01:21:59,760
Speaker 1: we talked about the fact that maybe Ed Oliver was

1548
01:22:00,320 --> 01:22:03,960
Speaker 1: a flashy player because you know, Starlo Talle was not

1549
01:22:04,120 --> 01:22:06,760
Speaker 1: with us last year, and this year he's able to

1550
01:22:06,920 --> 01:22:09,320
Speaker 1: be with us, and Ed Oliver is able to eat

1551
01:22:09,320 --> 01:22:11,439
Speaker 1: a little bit more and flash a little bit more.

1552
01:22:11,680 --> 01:22:14,240
Speaker 1: So I love that ed had a game like he

1553
01:22:14,400 --> 01:22:16,880
Speaker 1: did yesterday. He needs more of those, and it's good

1554
01:22:16,920 --> 01:22:19,240
Speaker 1: to see him really be involved in what the defensive

1555
01:22:19,280 --> 01:22:21,320
Speaker 1: line can do. Yeah, he was eating Robert Hunt for

1556
01:22:21,360 --> 01:22:24,439
Speaker 1: a lunch for most of that game. They gotta have

1557
01:22:24,640 --> 01:22:28,960
Speaker 1: it award, Who's here, gotta have it? Well? The Bills

1558
01:22:29,120 --> 01:22:33,880
Speaker 1: needed something in the fourth quarter, the Dolphins had the ball.

1559
01:22:34,040 --> 01:22:36,400
Speaker 1: It was time for the Bills defense to step up

1560
01:22:36,439 --> 01:22:39,439
Speaker 1: and make a play, and Jordan Poyer absolutely did that

1561
01:22:39,520 --> 01:22:42,880
Speaker 1: with his interception. There was two minutes and twenty seconds

1562
01:22:42,960 --> 01:22:45,200
Speaker 1: left in the fourth quarter. The Bills were up by eleven,

1563
01:22:45,320 --> 01:22:47,639
Speaker 1: so I was like, Okay, I think they can steal

1564
01:22:47,760 --> 01:22:49,759
Speaker 1: this one. I steal the deal. It's gonna be fine.

1565
01:22:49,880 --> 01:22:52,200
Speaker 1: But still a little bit nerve racking there with the

1566
01:22:52,280 --> 01:22:53,920
Speaker 1: Dolphins with the ball and it was a third and

1567
01:22:54,040 --> 01:22:57,720
Speaker 1: twenty six and Jordan Poyer came up with an interception.

1568
01:22:58,040 --> 01:22:59,880
Speaker 1: I mean, who knows if Miami would have scored on

1569
01:23:00,040 --> 01:23:02,640
Speaker 1: that drive. Made it a little too tight, but the

1570
01:23:02,720 --> 01:23:05,200
Speaker 1: Bills did score on that next drive and it was

1571
01:23:05,280 --> 01:23:07,320
Speaker 1: game over from there. I mean, the both of the

1572
01:23:07,479 --> 01:23:10,839
Speaker 1: safety's Micah Hi Jordan Poyer, they're having a great season.

1573
01:23:10,920 --> 01:23:15,760
Speaker 1: They both have three interceptions each. With that interception yesterday,

1574
01:23:16,120 --> 01:23:19,679
Speaker 1: Jordan Poyer moved into eighteenth on the Bills all time

1575
01:23:19,800 --> 01:23:23,840
Speaker 1: interception list. He has eighteen total interceptions in his career.

1576
01:23:24,000 --> 01:23:29,800
Speaker 1: So having a great season, Jordan. Yeah. Yesterday also was Halloween,

1577
01:23:29,960 --> 01:23:32,439
Speaker 1: soho who had the best costume? Who gets your award

1578
01:23:32,479 --> 01:23:36,680
Speaker 1: for best Costume? Best Costume I was hoping more of

1579
01:23:36,760 --> 01:23:40,479
Speaker 1: our guys would dress up on Halloween. There weren't too

1580
01:23:40,600 --> 01:23:42,760
Speaker 1: many to pick from, but the ones to pick from

1581
01:23:43,040 --> 01:23:45,919
Speaker 1: we're pretty good. First, I've got to get a kudos

1582
01:23:45,960 --> 01:23:51,200
Speaker 1: to our specialist Matt Hawk, Tyler Bass and who else

1583
01:23:51,320 --> 01:23:53,960
Speaker 1: was a part of it? Read furiuson. They dressed up

1584
01:23:54,000 --> 01:23:57,160
Speaker 1: as the Western New York dads and so they had

1585
01:23:57,560 --> 01:24:01,160
Speaker 1: their jeane shorts on, they had their white nikes, they

1586
01:24:01,240 --> 01:24:05,400
Speaker 1: had their white socks and some sweatshirts. I mean, Steve Chris,

1587
01:24:05,520 --> 01:24:08,040
Speaker 1: is that what you guys wear on the weekends looking

1588
01:24:08,080 --> 01:24:12,040
Speaker 1: around Western New York? Hell? No, they made a fanny pack.

1589
01:24:12,240 --> 01:24:14,240
Speaker 1: They had a fanny pack. Two Reed had one that

1590
01:24:14,400 --> 01:24:18,320
Speaker 1: was awful video for the season. But cargo short pockets

1591
01:24:18,439 --> 01:24:20,639
Speaker 1: on the jeane shorts, I mean, those are a fine

1592
01:24:20,680 --> 01:24:23,400
Speaker 1: I don't think I've ever found that comment anywhere. That's

1593
01:24:23,439 --> 01:24:26,720
Speaker 1: a unicorn out, that's a food. So okay, you guys,

1594
01:24:26,800 --> 01:24:29,960
Speaker 1: I guess, aren't as fashionable as them. I'm just kidding that.

1595
01:24:31,240 --> 01:24:34,439
Speaker 1: Thankfully you guys don't wear that every day, or maybe

1596
01:24:34,479 --> 01:24:36,640
Speaker 1: you would be on the award for this. But my

1597
01:24:36,880 --> 01:24:39,679
Speaker 1: award has to go to the quarterbacks dressing up as golfers.

1598
01:24:39,760 --> 01:24:42,439
Speaker 1: I saw Jake from in the cafeteria during the morning,

1599
01:24:42,720 --> 01:24:45,360
Speaker 1: and I was like, why is Jake dressed like this?

1600
01:24:45,479 --> 01:24:48,479
Speaker 1: Because they weren't all together. And then I saw Josh

1601
01:24:48,600 --> 01:24:51,080
Speaker 1: walk in as Phil Mickelson. I was like, Oh, there

1602
01:24:51,160 --> 01:24:55,160
Speaker 1: goes the light bulb. The quarterbacks are golfers today. Loved

1603
01:24:55,280 --> 01:24:57,759
Speaker 1: his look and I love that he stayed in character

1604
01:24:58,800 --> 01:25:02,200
Speaker 1: during the postgame press conference with those glasses on, those

1605
01:25:02,240 --> 01:25:05,559
Speaker 1: sunglasses on and the visor on. And love the exchange

1606
01:25:05,600 --> 01:25:08,320
Speaker 1: that he had back and forth with Phil Nicholson too. Yesterday.

1607
01:25:08,560 --> 01:25:10,519
Speaker 1: He also had a golf glove in the back pocket

1608
01:25:10,520 --> 01:25:13,080
Speaker 1: there that I hadn't Oh, it was completed yet. Golf shoes.

1609
01:25:13,320 --> 01:25:15,360
Speaker 1: Very nice, It was very nice. He went top to

1610
01:25:15,439 --> 01:25:17,800
Speaker 1: bottom on it. Let's go, all right, let's go, let's

1611
01:25:17,840 --> 01:25:20,400
Speaker 1: go around the league. Now give us You're out of

1612
01:25:20,520 --> 01:25:23,120
Speaker 1: Nowhere award. There's a couple of really good performances by

1613
01:25:23,160 --> 01:25:27,439
Speaker 1: guys that I did not know existed, right, I mean,

1614
01:25:27,680 --> 01:25:30,639
Speaker 1: who thought the Jets were going to beat the Bengals yesterday?

1615
01:25:31,080 --> 01:25:33,000
Speaker 1: I'll raise my hand. I did not think that was

1616
01:25:33,120 --> 01:25:36,320
Speaker 1: possible with how the Bengals have been playing. But somehow

1617
01:25:36,840 --> 01:25:39,880
Speaker 1: the Jets beat the Bengals thirty four to thirty one,

1618
01:25:40,000 --> 01:25:43,240
Speaker 1: and hello, Mike White. I was looking him up after

1619
01:25:43,360 --> 01:25:45,640
Speaker 1: the game to try and figure out who this guy was.

1620
01:25:45,880 --> 01:25:48,519
Speaker 1: I mean, he was thirty seven to forty five, completed

1621
01:25:48,640 --> 01:25:51,439
Speaker 1: eighty two percent of his passes for four hundred and

1622
01:25:51,560 --> 01:25:53,800
Speaker 1: five yards. I mean, it's no big deal if you're

1623
01:25:53,880 --> 01:25:56,080
Speaker 1: completing eighty two percent of your passes for like one

1624
01:25:56,160 --> 01:25:59,040
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty. But he threw four hundred. He threw

1625
01:25:59,120 --> 01:26:03,160
Speaker 1: for four hundred in five yards, three touchdowns. This dude

1626
01:26:03,280 --> 01:26:06,160
Speaker 1: was a fifth round pick in twenty eighteen out of

1627
01:26:06,240 --> 01:26:09,479
Speaker 1: Western Kentucky. He spent his first year in the NFL

1628
01:26:09,560 --> 01:26:11,679
Speaker 1: with the Cowboys and has been with the Jets since

1629
01:26:11,800 --> 01:26:14,760
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen. I don't know if the Jets might want

1630
01:26:14,760 --> 01:26:17,960
Speaker 1: to use him going forward, because they looked pretty electric

1631
01:26:18,320 --> 01:26:22,040
Speaker 1: and finally got their second win. So Mike White out

1632
01:26:22,080 --> 01:26:24,680
Speaker 1: of nowhere. D Yeah, that first guy to throw for

1633
01:26:24,720 --> 01:26:26,559
Speaker 1: four hundred yards in a game for the Jets. It's

1634
01:26:26,640 --> 01:26:30,720
Speaker 1: Vinny Testaverdi in two thousand. Oh my gosh, it's ridiculous.

1635
01:26:30,840 --> 01:26:32,920
Speaker 1: But you know, last week, Steve and I were making

1636
01:26:32,920 --> 01:26:35,560
Speaker 1: fun of the Jets for trading for Joe Flacco, and

1637
01:26:36,320 --> 01:26:38,360
Speaker 1: now we're wondering, why the hell did they trade for

1638
01:26:38,439 --> 01:26:39,840
Speaker 1: Joe Flack? You know what I mean him? You got

1639
01:26:39,920 --> 01:26:45,080
Speaker 1: Mike White, all right? Last one here, the Hot Hands Award.

1640
01:26:45,120 --> 01:26:47,840
Speaker 1: You got two guys for this. Yeah, there were some

1641
01:26:48,040 --> 01:26:52,680
Speaker 1: impressive grabs yesterday. The first one I'll talk about came

1642
01:26:52,720 --> 01:26:56,240
Speaker 1: from the Cowboys Vikings game the Cowboys one twenty to sixteen,

1643
01:26:56,360 --> 01:26:58,280
Speaker 1: and one guy was important in that it was a

1644
01:26:58,400 --> 01:27:01,200
Speaker 1: Marii Cooper. He had a pretty clutch catch where he

1645
01:27:01,560 --> 01:27:05,400
Speaker 1: like juggled the ball three different times and finally grabbed

1646
01:27:05,439 --> 01:27:07,600
Speaker 1: possession of it and was able to come down with it.

1647
01:27:07,680 --> 01:27:10,200
Speaker 1: We're watching the highlight right now if you're watching on TV.

1648
01:27:11,040 --> 01:27:15,080
Speaker 1: But pretty acrobatic and impressive. I could not do that

1649
01:27:15,200 --> 01:27:18,000
Speaker 1: when I dropped something like my phone five times a day.

1650
01:27:18,080 --> 01:27:20,920
Speaker 1: There's no way I'm able to juggle it and grab

1651
01:27:21,040 --> 01:27:23,439
Speaker 1: it like Amari Cooper did. He also had a pretty

1652
01:27:23,720 --> 01:27:26,360
Speaker 1: impressive catch in the end zone too, you're watching it

1653
01:27:26,479 --> 01:27:28,720
Speaker 1: out back of the end zone. Was able to come

1654
01:27:28,800 --> 01:27:32,240
Speaker 1: down with it two feet inbounds, So he was an

1655
01:27:32,320 --> 01:27:35,240
Speaker 1: important factor to that when the Cowboys move on to

1656
01:27:35,360 --> 01:27:39,240
Speaker 1: six and one in the season. And then second for

1657
01:27:39,439 --> 01:27:43,000
Speaker 1: me came from the Steelers and Brown's game. The Steelers,

1658
01:27:43,040 --> 01:27:45,760
Speaker 1: of course one fifteen to ten. But Pat friar Muth

1659
01:27:45,840 --> 01:27:49,280
Speaker 1: had a great catch in the end zone, juggled the

1660
01:27:49,360 --> 01:27:51,880
Speaker 1: ball just like Amari Cooper did and was able to

1661
01:27:51,960 --> 01:27:54,120
Speaker 1: come down with it and score. So we're watching it

1662
01:27:54,280 --> 01:27:57,639
Speaker 1: right now on TV if you guys are watching on TV.

1663
01:27:58,080 --> 01:28:02,360
Speaker 1: Back of the end zone, the ball basically was about

1664
01:28:02,439 --> 01:28:05,040
Speaker 1: to hit the ground and he somehow was able to

1665
01:28:05,080 --> 01:28:08,400
Speaker 1: get his hands right under it. Very impressive grab by

1666
01:28:08,439 --> 01:28:13,280
Speaker 1: a tight end. The Brown's cornerback or safety whoever it was,

1667
01:28:13,479 --> 01:28:17,559
Speaker 1: was all over him and he was able to somehow

1668
01:28:17,720 --> 01:28:21,439
Speaker 1: make that grab. Really impressive. Those are two different players

1669
01:28:21,479 --> 01:28:24,000
Speaker 1: who had some great receptions. Yeah, I just love the

1670
01:28:24,080 --> 01:28:26,400
Speaker 1: ref in the back corner there, he's ten feet away.

1671
01:28:26,880 --> 01:28:29,920
Speaker 1: He clearly sees the guy dragged the toe complete the catch,

1672
01:28:30,280 --> 01:28:32,599
Speaker 1: and he's looking at this line judge up the field

1673
01:28:32,680 --> 01:28:34,840
Speaker 1: like was that good to you? Did that? Look all Ryan,

1674
01:28:34,960 --> 01:28:37,600
Speaker 1: It's like you're right there. Call it a touchdown. The

1675
01:28:37,640 --> 01:28:41,760
Speaker 1: guy made an unbelievable play. Unbelievable good all right stuff, Maddie, Yeah,

1676
01:28:41,840 --> 01:28:44,040
Speaker 1: well done on the Maddie Awards this week. Hopefully we're

1677
01:28:44,080 --> 01:28:47,360
Speaker 1: talking to you at this time next week. Thanks very much, Maddie.

1685
01:29:06,120 --> 01:29:07,760
Speaker 1: the Dolphins. We're back in a moment here on One

1686
01:29:07,800 --> 01:29:10,040
Speaker 1: Bill's Live, presented by Collid to Health. It's Buffalo Bill's

1687
01:29:10,120 --> 01:29:26,759
Speaker 1: Radio that year one will live on a Bill Victory Monday.

1688
01:29:27,200 --> 01:29:33,519
Speaker 1: Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you and wanted to We've

Speaker 1: got open lines for your phone calls, which will be

1690
01:29:35,880 --> 01:29:38,920
Speaker 1: taking here in this very short segment here, but then

1691
01:29:39,040 --> 01:29:40,559
Speaker 1: on the other side of the top of the hour

1692
01:29:41,200 --> 01:29:46,080
Speaker 1: as well for your biggest takeaways on the game. Cole Beasley, Steve,

1693
01:29:46,680 --> 01:29:51,320
Speaker 1: as Maddie was mentioning in the Maddie Awards, guys, got

1694
01:29:51,400 --> 01:29:52,920
Speaker 1: to be one of the best zone beaters for a

1695
01:29:53,000 --> 01:29:56,439
Speaker 1: quarterback we've ever seen, just in terms of finding the holes,

1696
01:29:56,600 --> 01:29:59,559
Speaker 1: knowing where the leverage of the defense is and adjusting

1697
01:29:59,600 --> 01:30:02,720
Speaker 1: a quarter lee. He even said after the game he

1698
01:30:02,920 --> 01:30:06,880
Speaker 1: was sore about missing on a third down conversion at

1699
01:30:06,920 --> 01:30:08,840
Speaker 1: the start of the second half. He's like, I had it.

1700
01:30:08,960 --> 01:30:10,200
Speaker 1: He goes, I think it was a third and eight,

1701
01:30:10,280 --> 01:30:14,960
Speaker 1: and he wasn't happy with where he said he turned

1702
01:30:14,960 --> 01:30:17,920
Speaker 1: the wrong way on the route and he was mad

1703
01:30:18,000 --> 01:30:21,880
Speaker 1: that they didn't convert on that. So after that though,

1704
01:30:23,160 --> 01:30:26,599
Speaker 1: he was the conversion machine. Yeah, in terms of third downs.

1705
01:30:26,600 --> 01:30:28,479
Speaker 1: I mean he converted a third and twelve, a third

1706
01:30:28,560 --> 01:30:31,240
Speaker 1: and fourteen, and I think a third and thirteen. Yeah,

1707
01:30:31,439 --> 01:30:34,800
Speaker 1: I mean he was money. It's you know, you know,

1708
01:30:34,840 --> 01:30:36,479
Speaker 1: we'll say, yeah, we all kind of fit figure, like

1709
01:30:36,560 --> 01:30:38,720
Speaker 1: we kind of know what a good slot receiver looks like,

1710
01:30:39,000 --> 01:30:40,840
Speaker 1: but there's a lot that goes into it. First, you

1711
01:30:40,920 --> 01:30:44,800
Speaker 1: gotta the most important thing is a receiver is when

1712
01:30:44,960 --> 01:30:48,000
Speaker 1: the slot receiver goes out, he knows what his quarterback

1713
01:30:48,080 --> 01:30:50,840
Speaker 1: wants to see. When he come out of the route.

1714
01:30:50,880 --> 01:30:52,200
Speaker 1: He knows where he's supposed to be on the route

1715
01:30:52,200 --> 01:30:54,200
Speaker 1: and knows how the route is supposed to look when

1716
01:30:54,280 --> 01:30:57,519
Speaker 1: he comes around. Give give the quarterback at some eye contact,

1717
01:30:57,600 --> 01:30:59,799
Speaker 1: come around and look like you expect the book football.

1718
01:30:59,800 --> 01:31:02,600
Speaker 1: When the quarterback wants you to expect the football and

1719
01:31:02,680 --> 01:31:04,080
Speaker 1: be in the right spot at the right time and

1720
01:31:04,200 --> 01:31:08,559
Speaker 1: be by yourself. All that sounds easy, but that's really

1721
01:31:08,600 --> 01:31:12,760
Speaker 1: what it is. Plus this just in and we've seen

1722
01:31:12,840 --> 01:31:15,799
Speaker 1: Cole Beasley do this. He gonna make some really tough catches.

1723
01:31:16,400 --> 01:31:18,439
Speaker 1: They always say like, wow, it's an easy throw the

1724
01:31:18,520 --> 01:31:20,840
Speaker 1: quarterbacks stone between that. If you've seen the catches Cole

1725
01:31:20,880 --> 01:31:23,120
Speaker 1: Beasley's made his guy, I mean, they're unbelievable, some of them.

1726
01:31:23,200 --> 01:31:25,320
Speaker 1: And he's not a guy who's got like big myths,

1727
01:31:25,439 --> 01:31:27,840
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, that big hands he's it's

1728
01:31:27,960 --> 01:31:30,760
Speaker 1: unbelievable the catches the guy makes. And you know the

1729
01:31:30,840 --> 01:31:33,879
Speaker 1: one down the scene, that was an easy one. Comparatively speaking,

1730
01:31:34,320 --> 01:31:35,719
Speaker 1: you get out here with some of the other catches

1731
01:31:35,760 --> 01:31:38,519
Speaker 1: he's made and it's like wow, you know, I don't know,

1732
01:31:39,960 --> 01:31:42,880
Speaker 1: just getting there and being in the right spot. You know,

1733
01:31:42,920 --> 01:31:45,639
Speaker 1: you always remember the the over the head, one handed

1734
01:31:45,760 --> 01:31:50,240
Speaker 1: catch on in the Arizona game last year. But he's

1735
01:31:50,280 --> 01:31:52,760
Speaker 1: gonna get pounded. He had to leave leave the game

1736
01:31:52,840 --> 01:31:56,080
Speaker 1: for a minute yesterday because he took a shot to

1737
01:31:56,160 --> 01:31:59,160
Speaker 1: the arm or the shoulder, the ribs or something. But

1738
01:31:59,280 --> 01:32:03,400
Speaker 1: getting the tough extra yards you know, all that stuff

1739
01:32:03,439 --> 01:32:05,600
Speaker 1: goes into being a good slot receiver. He's got to

1740
01:32:05,640 --> 01:32:08,120
Speaker 1: be fast enough, agile enough, quick and explosive enough to

1741
01:32:08,200 --> 01:32:10,920
Speaker 1: find some open areas and get separation from guys in

1742
01:32:11,000 --> 01:32:14,519
Speaker 1: tight spots and then catch a hard thrown ball and

1743
01:32:14,680 --> 01:32:17,320
Speaker 1: accept the violence that comes with it. It's a hard

1744
01:32:17,360 --> 01:32:20,599
Speaker 1: spot to play, and he has been really, really good

1745
01:32:21,360 --> 01:32:24,120
Speaker 1: over his entire career, but especially here with the Buffalo

1746
01:32:24,200 --> 01:32:27,320
Speaker 1: Bills first one hundred yard receiving day of the season.

1747
01:32:28,280 --> 01:32:31,679
Speaker 1: He's got I believe, five one hundred receiving yard days

1748
01:32:31,720 --> 01:32:34,200
Speaker 1: in his career, four of them with the Bills. So

1749
01:32:35,120 --> 01:32:39,519
Speaker 1: pretty good showing there. And I don't know, man, like

1750
01:32:40,640 --> 01:32:43,080
Speaker 1: we heard Diggs talk about it last year, the guy's

1751
01:32:43,120 --> 01:32:46,400
Speaker 1: always open. And I understand he's not always going to

1752
01:32:46,400 --> 01:32:50,120
Speaker 1: be the first read, but you're when you're struggling like

1753
01:32:50,200 --> 01:32:52,320
Speaker 1: they were on offense this week in the first half,

1754
01:32:53,200 --> 01:32:55,280
Speaker 1: not a bad guy to turn to for some answers,

1755
01:32:55,360 --> 01:32:58,519
Speaker 1: just to get back in rhythm. As a passing game,

1756
01:32:59,040 --> 01:33:02,360
Speaker 1: you know you can with a high percentage throw, staying

1757
01:33:02,400 --> 01:33:05,800
Speaker 1: on schedule down in distance. He's a good answer to

1758
01:33:05,960 --> 01:33:08,040
Speaker 1: kind of kickstart the engine, so to speak, of his

1759
01:33:08,160 --> 01:33:11,519
Speaker 1: passing game. Yeah, and it's you know, fans get caught

1760
01:33:11,640 --> 01:33:14,360
Speaker 1: up and you know, well, you know, Steph Diggs gonna

1761
01:33:14,360 --> 01:33:16,920
Speaker 1: be upset because he only got you know, six targets

1762
01:33:16,960 --> 01:33:18,880
Speaker 1: instead of ten or whatever and all this stuff, and

1763
01:33:19,000 --> 01:33:21,000
Speaker 1: he's not getting the ball and him. Here's the thing.

1764
01:33:21,160 --> 01:33:25,080
Speaker 1: If a guy like Beasley converts a third down, everybody

1765
01:33:25,160 --> 01:33:28,639
Speaker 1: loves it because now it's three more downs for Steph

1766
01:33:28,760 --> 01:33:32,639
Speaker 1: Diggs and Emmanuel Sanders and Gabe Davis and Dawson knocks

1767
01:33:32,680 --> 01:33:36,760
Speaker 1: to get another target. You know, I mean, if he's

1768
01:33:36,840 --> 01:33:40,040
Speaker 1: keeping us on the field, give him the ball. Yeah,

1769
01:33:41,600 --> 01:33:43,599
Speaker 1: that's how that works. And they didn't have an answer

1770
01:33:43,680 --> 01:33:46,559
Speaker 1: for him. And I was surprised that they kept putting

1771
01:33:46,680 --> 01:33:49,559
Speaker 1: Nick need Him on him. That is a mismatch, yeah,

1772
01:33:49,640 --> 01:33:52,639
Speaker 1: in a big way. And I they continued to put

1773
01:33:52,760 --> 01:33:56,120
Speaker 1: him on him. It was clear that it was a problem.

1774
01:33:56,200 --> 01:33:57,640
Speaker 1: And I know it wasn't always man to man. There

1775
01:33:57,680 --> 01:33:59,120
Speaker 1: was some zone call and he just happened to be

1776
01:33:59,200 --> 01:34:02,080
Speaker 1: in that zone, but it mix it up at all.

1777
01:34:02,640 --> 01:34:05,479
Speaker 1: It was him and need Him in most of those cases,

1778
01:34:06,080 --> 01:34:08,880
Speaker 1: and they never changed the matchup, which I found peculiar

1779
01:34:10,200 --> 01:34:13,120
Speaker 1: based on the way that Beasley kept torching him. I

1780
01:34:13,160 --> 01:34:16,400
Speaker 1: guess they felt, well, we'll let Beasley eat here for

1781
01:34:16,680 --> 01:34:19,920
Speaker 1: six and eight and twelve yards rather than get beat

1782
01:34:20,000 --> 01:34:22,680
Speaker 1: by Digs for twenty five or get beat over the

1783
01:34:22,760 --> 01:34:25,519
Speaker 1: top by Sanders for thirty. I guess that's what they thought.

1784
01:34:25,640 --> 01:34:27,680
Speaker 1: No questions some of that. There's some of that going

1785
01:34:27,720 --> 01:34:30,160
Speaker 1: in there. No question they're trying to keep a lid

1786
01:34:30,200 --> 01:34:33,280
Speaker 1: on the defense and force Josh and the offense to

1787
01:34:33,360 --> 01:34:35,080
Speaker 1: go the long way. One of their scoring drives was like,

1788
01:34:35,160 --> 01:34:38,320
Speaker 1: I think it was listed at sixteen seventeen plays. They

1789
01:34:38,400 --> 01:34:40,479
Speaker 1: had a long one in there now and I went

1790
01:34:40,520 --> 01:34:42,519
Speaker 1: back and looked. A couple of those plays were like

1791
01:34:42,680 --> 01:34:46,880
Speaker 1: no plays because there's a penalty. But thirteen for eighty yeah,

1792
01:34:46,960 --> 01:34:50,519
Speaker 1: longest one. Those are long drives. It takes a lot

1793
01:34:50,640 --> 01:34:52,880
Speaker 1: of precision to put together a drive like that, and

1794
01:34:52,920 --> 01:34:55,120
Speaker 1: you got to complete some third downs. Think about that

1795
01:34:55,200 --> 01:34:57,479
Speaker 1: field the last field goal drive with Bass from thirty

1796
01:34:57,560 --> 01:34:59,680
Speaker 1: nine fourteen for fifty nine yards. They had to go

1797
01:34:59,760 --> 01:35:03,960
Speaker 1: four team plays just to get fifty nine yards. It's

1798
01:35:04,000 --> 01:35:06,400
Speaker 1: a battle, yeah, And that's what defenses are doing. That's

1799
01:35:06,439 --> 01:35:07,880
Speaker 1: what the Bills have done to a lot of people.

1800
01:35:08,080 --> 01:35:10,400
Speaker 1: You know, you can you can come down. We get

1801
01:35:10,439 --> 01:35:11,720
Speaker 1: into the red zone. You're gonna have to settle for

1802
01:35:11,760 --> 01:35:13,320
Speaker 1: a field goals, so you're gonna go eighty You know

1803
01:35:13,880 --> 01:35:16,920
Speaker 1: you can go seventy nine yards. Settle for three points

1804
01:35:17,000 --> 01:35:20,479
Speaker 1: on fourteen plays. If you can run fourteen plays without

1805
01:35:20,520 --> 01:35:22,920
Speaker 1: making a mistake or us not making a play, bless

1806
01:35:22,960 --> 01:35:25,960
Speaker 1: your heart. Break time for us here Austin and Rochester,

1807
01:35:26,080 --> 01:35:28,080
Speaker 1: Jim and Florida. Hang tight. You guys will be first

1808
01:35:28,160 --> 01:35:30,840
Speaker 1: after the break as we continue to take your tip

Speaker 1: takeaways from yesterday's victory over the Dolphins. It's one Bills Live,

Speaker 1: presented by Collied to Health. It's Buffalo Bills Radio at

1811
01:35:55,200 --> 01:35:58,679
Speaker 1: a Steve Tesker who has been all over the fields

1812
01:35:58,760 --> 01:36:00,360
Speaker 1: kind of unique. He was out of a will roll

1813
01:36:00,520 --> 01:36:07,680
Speaker 1: last Steve a blimp. We're not even in the strategy

1814

Speaker 1: of normalcy here, all right, welcome back our number three

1815

Speaker 1: here on the Bills victory Monday. Chris Brown, Steve Tasker

1816
01:36:17,920 --> 01:36:20,960
Speaker 1: with you as always, and we want to get back

1817
01:36:21,000 --> 01:36:23,160
Speaker 1: to the phones at eight oh three oh five fifty

1818
01:36:23,520 --> 01:36:25,000
Speaker 1: where you get us up on the tweet sheet at

1819
01:36:25,000 --> 01:36:26,800
Speaker 1: one Bills Live. You don't have a way to get

1820
01:36:26,800 --> 01:36:28,320
Speaker 1: to a phone or time to get to a phone

1821
01:36:28,360 --> 01:36:32,600
Speaker 1: to rattle off your biggest takeaways from yesterday's victory and

1822
01:36:33,080 --> 01:36:37,600
Speaker 1: leading us off here is Austin in Rochester, Austin, what

1823
01:36:37,640 --> 01:36:40,720
Speaker 1: do you have for us? You're on one bills live. Hey,

1824
01:36:40,840 --> 01:36:43,920
Speaker 1: There's a couple of things real quick, guys. One thing,

1825
01:36:44,280 --> 01:36:46,479
Speaker 1: um is, you know, I've played the visual one football

1826
01:36:46,560 --> 01:36:48,800
Speaker 1: at the Big ten and I know you have sort

1827
01:36:48,800 --> 01:36:50,439
Speaker 1: of dressed it a little bit. But going back to

1828
01:36:50,520 --> 01:36:54,679
Speaker 1: the bread of comment earlier, I'm sure that these coaches

1829
01:36:54,800 --> 01:36:56,680
Speaker 1: know a lot more and they see a lot more

1830
01:36:56,720 --> 01:36:59,800
Speaker 1: in practices that we get to see as fans, you know,

1831
01:37:00,360 --> 01:37:02,679
Speaker 1: and I'm sure that if he was making enough plays

1832
01:37:02,840 --> 01:37:06,360
Speaker 1: in practice that he'd beginning his fair share of reps. Also,

1833
01:37:06,479 --> 01:37:08,720
Speaker 1: you know, it might be, like you mentioned, it might

1834
01:37:08,760 --> 01:37:10,479
Speaker 1: be something with a special team. You know, he's a

1835
01:37:10,560 --> 01:37:13,080
Speaker 1: season that he might not want to play on special teams.

1836
01:37:13,400 --> 01:37:17,000
Speaker 1: There's a bunch of stuff that goes into that, you know,

1837
01:37:17,200 --> 01:37:20,280
Speaker 1: just from a fan aspect, you know, is there certain

1838
01:37:20,360 --> 01:37:22,960
Speaker 1: certain situations that he might be fit for. Yes, but

1839
01:37:23,479 --> 01:37:26,840
Speaker 1: you know, overall, what does he bring compared to you know,

1840
01:37:26,960 --> 01:37:29,519
Speaker 1: Moss and Singletary and some of these other guys that

1841
01:37:29,600 --> 01:37:34,280
Speaker 1: are on the roster every week. Um. Secondly, is you know,

1842
01:37:34,560 --> 01:37:36,760
Speaker 1: we just gotta give it up for Tyler Bass. Um.

1843
01:37:37,240 --> 01:37:39,559
Speaker 1: You know, kickers usually only get a lot of credit

1844
01:37:39,720 --> 01:37:42,760
Speaker 1: when they kind of hit game winners. Um. You know,

1845
01:37:43,200 --> 01:37:46,120
Speaker 1: Tyler Bass has consistently been one of the best kickers

1846
01:37:46,160 --> 01:37:49,800
Speaker 1: in the NFL since his early struggles of his lucky year.

1847
01:37:50,400 --> 01:37:52,519
Speaker 1: I mean, that could be seven yr field goals. That

1848
01:37:52,720 --> 01:37:55,080
Speaker 1: was huge. It was pretty wendy yesterday. I was at

1849
01:37:55,120 --> 01:37:57,479
Speaker 1: the game, um, and then I don't think he missed

1850
01:37:57,520 --> 01:38:01,200
Speaker 1: the tick all day, so I think overall, which is

1851
01:38:01,360 --> 01:38:04,360
Speaker 1: very question for us as well. And I mean obviously

1852
01:38:04,520 --> 01:38:07,479
Speaker 1: cold easily we've already talked about a lot about him.

1853
01:38:08,200 --> 01:38:11,240
Speaker 1: But that that third down when we were out of

1854
01:38:11,280 --> 01:38:13,960
Speaker 1: phone goal range, we were only got to six I

1855
01:38:14,040 --> 01:38:16,400
Speaker 1: think it was the middle of the fourth quarter, and

1856
01:38:16,439 --> 01:38:21,040
Speaker 1: went down and scored a fill goals to go up

1857
01:38:21,080 --> 01:38:24,200
Speaker 1: by nine. That was just, in my opinion, to playing

1858
01:38:24,280 --> 01:38:27,040
Speaker 1: the game. Went up two scores with plus of three

1859
01:38:27,080 --> 01:38:30,080
Speaker 1: minutes left, the plus of the fans. We're leaving at

1860
01:38:30,120 --> 01:38:32,720
Speaker 1: that point. So that's all. I gotta thank you guys

1861
01:38:32,840 --> 01:38:36,160
Speaker 1: very much. All right, good call Austin. Plenty of chew

1862
01:38:36,200 --> 01:38:37,519
Speaker 1: on there. You want to take that first one on

1863
01:38:37,680 --> 01:38:40,200
Speaker 1: special teams and roll of. I couldn't. I didn't, I

1864
01:38:40,280 --> 01:38:42,679
Speaker 1: didn't get what do you say? So I think he's

1865
01:38:42,760 --> 01:38:45,280
Speaker 1: arguing Brita And maybe he can help you on special

1866
01:38:45,360 --> 01:38:48,599
Speaker 1: teams and he could be up on game days there,

1867
01:38:48,720 --> 01:38:50,720
Speaker 1: maybe as a kick returner, you know, and just let

1868
01:38:51,160 --> 01:38:53,720
Speaker 1: Kenzie handle punts. I don't know, Yeah, maybe, I mean

1869
01:38:53,880 --> 01:38:56,040
Speaker 1: that's but that's the issue you're looking at. He's got

1870
01:38:56,120 --> 01:38:57,840
Speaker 1: to contribute somehow if he's not going to get on

1871
01:38:57,920 --> 01:39:03,240
Speaker 1: the field offensive lead you know enough offensively. Certainly, Singletary

1872
01:39:03,280 --> 01:39:06,439
Speaker 1: and Moss don't play special teams unless one of thems

1873
01:39:06,439 --> 01:39:10,680
Speaker 1: on kick coverage or something, or on kimbo. So if

1874
01:39:10,680 --> 01:39:13,360
Speaker 1: you're gonna activate another guy, you're gonna have to have him.

1875
01:39:13,520 --> 01:39:15,519
Speaker 1: He's gonna have to help on that in some way,

1876
01:39:15,560 --> 01:39:21,200
Speaker 1: shape or form. Sometimes running backs have never tackled anybody

1877
01:39:22,360 --> 01:39:24,240
Speaker 1: because they played running back all the way through their

1878
01:39:25,080 --> 01:39:28,879
Speaker 1: you know, little loop football, a little you know junior football,

1879
01:39:29,439 --> 01:39:32,720
Speaker 1: high school football, college football. They played running back their

1880
01:39:32,840 --> 01:39:35,880
Speaker 1: entire career. They've never had to tackle a single person.

1881
01:39:36,880 --> 01:39:38,760
Speaker 1: You can't put them on special teams if that's the case.

1882
01:39:38,800 --> 01:39:41,160
Speaker 1: If they can't tackle or not willing to, so it

1883
01:39:41,200 --> 01:39:44,160
Speaker 1: could be something as simple as that. But no doubt,

1884
01:39:44,800 --> 01:39:47,880
Speaker 1: certainly Breed is a really good football player, but his

1885
01:39:48,040 --> 01:39:50,559
Speaker 1: skill set set is not such that they can get

1886
01:39:50,640 --> 01:39:54,720
Speaker 1: him activated right now ahead of Moss or Singletary. That's it.

1887
01:39:54,960 --> 01:39:57,200
Speaker 1: He runs fast, He's got a breakaway speed, and that's

1888
01:39:57,240 --> 01:40:00,920
Speaker 1: why they brought him in. But right now, something other

1889
01:40:01,000 --> 01:40:03,880
Speaker 1: than that is keeping him off the field. He does

1890
01:40:04,280 --> 01:40:07,000
Speaker 1: bring up a guy that's worth mentioning, Tyler Bass, who

1891
01:40:07,080 --> 01:40:11,200
Speaker 1: has been money all season long for the team and

1892
01:40:11,560 --> 01:40:15,519
Speaker 1: was clutch again yesterday. Fifty seven yarder then hit a

1893
01:40:15,600 --> 01:40:18,000
Speaker 1: thirty nine yard or later in the game to make

1894
01:40:18,040 --> 01:40:20,320
Speaker 1: it a nine point game, which was an important field

1895
01:40:20,360 --> 01:40:25,120
Speaker 1: goal coming in the latter stages of the fourth quarter

1896
01:40:25,240 --> 01:40:28,800
Speaker 1: before the turnover by Poyer at the very end. Let's

1897
01:40:28,840 --> 01:40:30,360
Speaker 1: go back to the phone, though. We go to Jim

1898
01:40:30,479 --> 01:40:32,040
Speaker 1: in Florida. Jim, what do you have for us? You're

1899
01:40:32,040 --> 01:40:37,200
Speaker 1: on one Bill's Live. Oh Hi. I understand the importance

1900
01:40:37,320 --> 01:40:42,000
Speaker 1: of the run, but my problem with the run is

1901
01:40:42,080 --> 01:40:46,160
Speaker 1: that if it's always done on first down, normal results

1902
01:40:46,240 --> 01:40:50,280
Speaker 1: in a second and nine. And now not only have

1903
01:40:50,479 --> 01:40:53,639
Speaker 1: you not gotten much out of the first down, allman,

1904
01:40:53,720 --> 01:40:56,400
Speaker 1: a surprise has gone because the second down you have

1905
01:40:56,560 --> 01:41:00,920
Speaker 1: to pass. So I think if you mix the run

1906
01:41:01,200 --> 01:41:03,519
Speaker 1: more soul than trying to always run on first down.

1907
01:41:03,840 --> 01:41:06,479
Speaker 1: It seems like it happens quite often when people are

1908
01:41:06,520 --> 01:41:09,080
Speaker 1: trying to establish the run, but they always go on

1909
01:41:09,240 --> 01:41:13,240
Speaker 1: first down at the middle and it's not very effective. Well,

1910
01:41:13,280 --> 01:41:16,000
Speaker 1: I'll say this, Jim, You're right in what you're saying,

1911
01:41:16,120 --> 01:41:20,200
Speaker 1: except maybe the percentages, because I know a year ago

1912
01:41:20,280 --> 01:41:22,280
Speaker 1: the Bills threw the football more on first down than

1913
01:41:22,280 --> 01:41:24,360
Speaker 1: any team in the NFL. So to say they ran

1914
01:41:24,439 --> 01:41:28,640
Speaker 1: it all the time first time, but but yesterday, I

1915
01:41:28,720 --> 01:41:32,880
Speaker 1: will admit, um, they they stuck with the running game

1916
01:41:32,920 --> 01:41:35,479
Speaker 1: in the first half at times where you noticed it.

1917
01:41:36,439 --> 01:41:38,519
Speaker 1: UM wasn't like you know, sometimes you gotta how many

1918
01:41:38,560 --> 01:41:40,240
Speaker 1: times do they run? I know they ran it once

1919
01:41:40,280 --> 01:41:43,080
Speaker 1: in a while. Who was yesterday? I think the entire

1920
01:41:43,160 --> 01:41:45,240
Speaker 1: first half people are going to, you know, stop doing that,

1921
01:41:46,080 --> 01:41:49,439
Speaker 1: um for whatever reason. And I can't even I in fact,

1922
01:41:49,520 --> 01:41:51,200
Speaker 1: I don't even Maybe we can do this in the

1923
01:41:51,240 --> 01:41:54,240
Speaker 1: break and the next we'll find out how many runs

1924
01:41:54,280 --> 01:41:57,280
Speaker 1: and passes they had in the first first half. Um.

1925
01:41:57,360 --> 01:42:00,479
Speaker 1: I know Miami had seven minutes a time of possession

1926
01:42:00,680 --> 01:42:02,920
Speaker 1: more than the Buffalo Bills did in the first half,

1927
01:42:03,400 --> 01:42:08,400
Speaker 1: which is huge, and you know so that in and

1928
01:42:08,520 --> 01:42:10,880
Speaker 1: of itself lends itself to the fact the Bill didn't

1929
01:42:10,920 --> 01:42:12,680
Speaker 1: have the football enough, and when they did get it,

1930
01:42:12,800 --> 01:42:14,840
Speaker 1: I'm with you. I thought they ran the football at

1931
01:42:14,880 --> 01:42:18,679
Speaker 1: times where they don't usually do that. But as a rule,

1932
01:42:18,760 --> 01:42:20,800
Speaker 1: as a general rule, the Bills are not afraid, and

1933
01:42:20,840 --> 01:42:23,920
Speaker 1: they're not they have a pensiant for throwing on first down,

1934
01:42:24,320 --> 01:42:28,080
Speaker 1: not running it on first down. But yesterday, no doubt

1935
01:42:28,880 --> 01:42:30,479
Speaker 1: we all saw something in the first half of that

1936
01:42:30,600 --> 01:42:33,519
Speaker 1: game that was different and we didn't like the results.

1937
01:42:35,320 --> 01:42:38,080
Speaker 1: I'm trying to tally up the first down passing percentage

1938
01:42:38,160 --> 01:42:41,360
Speaker 1: right now. I know going into the game yesterday that

1939
01:42:41,520 --> 01:42:45,320
Speaker 1: the Dolphins led the league in first down passing percentage

1940
01:42:46,000 --> 01:42:49,879
Speaker 1: at over sixty It was sixty one point seven percent

1941
01:42:50,120 --> 01:42:54,000
Speaker 1: that led the league in first down passing percentage, and

1942
01:42:54,160 --> 01:42:56,679
Speaker 1: the main reason for that they can't run the ball.

1943
01:42:57,000 --> 01:42:59,559
Speaker 1: It's the same reason the Bills through more than anybody

1944
01:42:59,600 --> 01:43:01,960
Speaker 1: else on first down last season, because they could not

1945
01:43:02,120 --> 01:43:04,639
Speaker 1: count on their running game to keep them on schedule

1946
01:43:04,680 --> 01:43:07,080
Speaker 1: after first down by running on that down, so instead

1947
01:43:07,560 --> 01:43:11,400
Speaker 1: they threw more often on first down. So I can

1948
01:43:11,479 --> 01:43:14,040
Speaker 1: tally these up. They have passed more than they have

1949
01:43:14,200 --> 01:43:17,800
Speaker 1: run on first down. I can tell you that because

1950
01:43:17,920 --> 01:43:22,799
Speaker 1: right now I've got them for ninety rushes and sixteen eighteen, twenty,

1951
01:43:22,920 --> 01:43:26,880
Speaker 1: twenty two, twenty four, twenty six, one, twenty nine, one

1952
01:43:27,000 --> 01:43:33,960
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty nine passes. Ninety rushes including seven Josh

1953
01:43:34,040 --> 01:43:38,200
Speaker 1: Allen scrambles this year. That's counting the scrambles, which in

1954
01:43:38,400 --> 01:43:40,600
Speaker 1: essence we're supposed to be a pass play, but he

1955
01:43:40,760 --> 01:43:45,439
Speaker 1: chose to run and tuck the ball. So ninety rushes

1956
01:43:45,479 --> 01:43:48,439
Speaker 1: on first down, one hundred and twenty nine passes so

1957
01:43:48,640 --> 01:43:51,439
Speaker 1: far this season for the Bills, that's been their breakdown

1958
01:43:52,240 --> 01:43:54,720
Speaker 1: on first down. Let's go back to the phones and

1959
01:43:54,960 --> 01:43:57,920
Speaker 1: we go to David in Williamsville. David, what do you

1960
01:43:57,960 --> 01:44:00,639
Speaker 1: have for us? You're on one Bills live. Heys, gentlemen,

1961
01:44:00,840 --> 01:44:04,479
Speaker 1: love your show and UH appreciate you both. Um Steve,

1962
01:44:04,560 --> 01:44:11,800
Speaker 1: I really appreciated your Tilntarry regarding Sean mcdermot's UH statements.

1963
01:44:11,960 --> 01:44:15,160
Speaker 1: That was really enlightening. But my question for you was

1964
01:44:15,280 --> 01:44:17,880
Speaker 1: regarding the punting game and whether or not we should

1965
01:44:17,880 --> 01:44:20,080
Speaker 1: be looking for a new punter. I'll hang up and

1966
01:44:20,160 --> 01:44:23,040
Speaker 1: listen to you. Thanks, Okay, that punt he had that

1967
01:44:23,120 --> 01:44:25,439
Speaker 1: first punt. I was his first punt yesterday. I think

1968
01:44:25,439 --> 01:44:29,840
Speaker 1: it was his first punt yesterday. Was I laugh when

1969
01:44:29,880 --> 01:44:33,000
Speaker 1: I say it was less than desirable. Um, there was

1970
01:44:33,040 --> 01:44:37,320
Speaker 1: a total shankapotamus and it was like a turned ended

1971
01:44:37,400 --> 01:44:39,400
Speaker 1: up being a nineteen yard punt or something like that.

1972
01:44:39,520 --> 01:44:41,120
Speaker 1: The rest of the game, he was fine. He punted

1973
01:44:41,160 --> 01:44:43,639
Speaker 1: extremely well, and the Bill's coverage was on the money too.

1974
01:44:43,920 --> 01:44:47,920
Speaker 1: I'll say that. Um, yeah, the Bills. The Bills covered

1975
01:44:47,960 --> 01:44:50,639
Speaker 1: those kicks really well. Now the nineteen yard or aside.

1976
01:44:51,360 --> 01:44:54,920
Speaker 1: You need more from him and every time, every so

1977
01:44:55,040 --> 01:45:00,320
Speaker 1: often that happens, but the Bills, Yeah, I'm not. I

1978
01:45:00,400 --> 01:45:04,200
Speaker 1: can't say I'm disappointed with the Bills punting. Yeah, he

1979
01:45:04,320 --> 01:45:06,679
Speaker 1: got that bad kick off yesterday in a game against

1980
01:45:06,720 --> 01:45:08,280
Speaker 1: his old team. Maybe it was in his mind a

1981
01:45:08,320 --> 01:45:11,800
Speaker 1: little bit. I don't know, and it's it stinks for

1982
01:45:11,920 --> 01:45:15,320
Speaker 1: that and it stinks for him too, But that has

1983
01:45:15,400 --> 01:45:19,360
Speaker 1: not been No, I've been pretty happy with the way

1984
01:45:19,400 --> 01:45:21,360
Speaker 1: he's punted. I'd like to have. You know, you always

1985
01:45:21,400 --> 01:45:23,280
Speaker 1: want the guy with the biggest leg, and he doesn't

1986
01:45:23,280 --> 01:45:26,160
Speaker 1: have that, but he's got a strong leg, strong enough.

1987
01:45:26,240 --> 01:45:28,320
Speaker 1: He hit the ball really well yesterday. Except for the

1988
01:45:28,360 --> 01:45:30,519
Speaker 1: one that he got away, and that's the one I remember,

1989
01:45:30,920 --> 01:45:32,360
Speaker 1: and that's the only one I can think of really

1990
01:45:32,400 --> 01:45:38,280
Speaker 1: for the season. No, I'm not. Yes yesterday he had

1991
01:45:38,360 --> 01:45:41,360
Speaker 1: a horrible punt in a half where you kind of

1992
01:45:41,439 --> 01:45:43,600
Speaker 1: needed everything going your way that it didn't go your

1993
01:45:43,640 --> 01:45:44,960
Speaker 1: way and all that. I get it, but it's a

1994
01:45:45,000 --> 01:45:47,960
Speaker 1: fifteen point win. I'm not ready to throw pick some

1995
01:45:48,120 --> 01:45:50,080
Speaker 1: guy off the roster just to get rid of because

1996
01:45:50,080 --> 01:45:51,960
Speaker 1: he had one bad play. If you're gonna do that,

1997
01:45:52,160 --> 01:45:55,320
Speaker 1: Isaiah McKenzie has to go too, and that you know

1998
01:45:55,360 --> 01:45:59,240
Speaker 1: that's not gonna happen either. The final percentages that I've

1999
01:45:59,280 --> 01:46:02,680
Speaker 1: talied up here, they are fifty nine percent pass on

2000
01:46:02,880 --> 01:46:07,760
Speaker 1: first and ten thus far this season, so that's where

2001
01:46:07,800 --> 01:46:10,280
Speaker 1: it's at, which would basically make him forty one percent

2002
01:46:10,400 --> 01:46:13,640
Speaker 1: run on first down. That's slightly down from where they

2003
01:46:13,680 --> 01:46:16,160
Speaker 1: were last year. They were sixty one percent and change

2004
01:46:16,320 --> 01:46:20,760
Speaker 1: pass on first down last season, so slightly down from that,

2005
01:46:20,960 --> 01:46:23,720
Speaker 1: but certainly not significantly. And we'll see where it goes

2006
01:46:23,800 --> 01:46:26,280
Speaker 1: from here. We have to take a break because when

2007
01:46:26,320 --> 01:46:29,280
Speaker 1: we come back, Eric Wood will join us. He was

2008
01:46:29,320 --> 01:46:31,519
Speaker 1: in the radio booth yesterday as he is every week

2009
01:46:31,560 --> 01:46:34,559
Speaker 1: for Bills games. We'll get his thoughts on the Bill's

2010
01:46:34,600 --> 01:46:38,200
Speaker 1: win over the Dolphins to complete the season sweep for

2011
01:46:38,320 --> 01:46:41,200
Speaker 1: the third year in a row. Eric would coming up

2012
01:46:41,240 --> 01:46:43,280
Speaker 1: next here on one Bills Live, presented by Kalid to Health.

2013
01:46:43,320 --> 01:46:59,240
Speaker 1: It's Buffalo Bill's Radio. Welcome back here on one Bills Live.

2014
01:46:59,280 --> 01:47:02,120
Speaker 1: And it's that time every Monday where we check in

2015
01:47:02,760 --> 01:47:04,599
Speaker 1: with the man who did the radio broadcast with one

2016
01:47:04,680 --> 01:47:06,960
Speaker 1: John Murphy. It's Eric Wood joining us here on one

2017
01:47:07,040 --> 01:47:10,120
Speaker 1: Bills Live to kind of give us his thoughts on

2018
01:47:10,320 --> 01:47:13,559
Speaker 1: yesterday's game. And Eric, first of all, welcome in long time.

2019
01:47:13,640 --> 01:47:17,200
Speaker 1: No see why don't we start here? The first half

2020
01:47:18,080 --> 01:47:22,200
Speaker 1: obviously was a bit of a struggle offensively for sure,

2021
01:47:23,000 --> 01:47:25,560
Speaker 1: and then they seemed to find some rhythm in the

2022
01:47:25,640 --> 01:47:30,280
Speaker 1: second half. What were what did your vantage point tell

2023
01:47:30,320 --> 01:47:35,840
Speaker 1: you about? What was giving the Bills offense such trouble? Well,

2024
01:47:36,200 --> 01:47:37,479
Speaker 1: on the first drive of the game, it was a

2025
01:47:37,560 --> 01:47:39,720
Speaker 1: self inflicted are you get the third and five and

2026
01:47:39,800 --> 01:47:42,559
Speaker 1: you Josh Allen could either ran for the first down

2027
01:47:42,800 --> 01:47:45,160
Speaker 1: or simply made an accurate throw to Digs, both of

2028
01:47:45,200 --> 01:47:47,920
Speaker 1: which would have probably been pretty long gains. Instead, they

2029
01:47:48,000 --> 01:47:49,640
Speaker 1: punt on their first possession of the game, we go

2030
01:47:49,760 --> 01:47:53,960
Speaker 1: three and out, and it looked like Miami, who teams

2031
01:47:54,520 --> 01:47:57,639
Speaker 1: almost ever since twenty nineteen, had gotten away from pressuring

2032
01:47:57,760 --> 01:47:59,519
Speaker 1: Josh Allen. He just torched so many teams with it,

2033
01:47:59,760 --> 01:48:03,679
Speaker 1: and Miami ran a ton of blitzes, more cover zero

2034
01:48:03,760 --> 01:48:06,400
Speaker 1: than expected, and where Miami generally plays press man, they're

2035
01:48:06,439 --> 01:48:09,759
Speaker 1: playing off man. So twice it appeared that Josh checked

2036
01:48:09,880 --> 01:48:13,559
Speaker 1: verse cover zero and both times well one of the times,

2037
01:48:13,600 --> 01:48:16,559
Speaker 1: in particular, Emanuel Sanders tried to run an out and up,

2038
01:48:16,560 --> 01:48:18,320
Speaker 1: which doesn't work. Steve, you know better than I do

2039
01:48:18,600 --> 01:48:20,880
Speaker 1: playing receiver, but out and ups do not work when

2040
01:48:20,920 --> 01:48:23,559
Speaker 1: you're dvs or ten yards off the line of scrimmage.

2041
01:48:23,600 --> 01:48:26,240
Speaker 1: They were anticipating, like Miami normally plays, they would play

2042
01:48:26,400 --> 01:48:28,880
Speaker 1: press man, which would work in that situation. And that's

2043
01:48:28,920 --> 01:48:31,280
Speaker 1: just one example. But Miami was doing a good job

2044
01:48:31,320 --> 01:48:36,240
Speaker 1: of mixing up almost all out pressures with sitting back

2045
01:48:36,280 --> 01:48:39,000
Speaker 1: and coverage a little bit more zone than they usually play,

2046
01:48:39,280 --> 01:48:42,920
Speaker 1: which could have been because of the reason that both

2047
01:48:42,960 --> 01:48:45,439
Speaker 1: are starting cornerbacks were dinged up coming into the game.

2048
01:48:45,520 --> 01:48:48,040
Speaker 1: Both of them had groin injuries, and Byron jone and

2049
01:48:48,080 --> 01:48:50,240
Speaker 1: said in Achille. But all that being said, some of

2050
01:48:50,320 --> 01:48:52,840
Speaker 1: it was self inflicted. You gotta give Miami credit as well.

2051
01:48:53,560 --> 01:48:55,679
Speaker 1: But then the Bills in the second half, their last

2052
01:48:55,760 --> 01:48:58,599
Speaker 1: four drives of the game end in points, touchdown, touchdown,

2053
01:48:58,680 --> 01:49:00,600
Speaker 1: field goal, touchdown, And they really got a rolling in

2054
01:49:00,640 --> 01:49:02,960
Speaker 1: the second half, and a lot of it was just executing,

2055
01:49:03,040 --> 01:49:05,080
Speaker 1: and then they went to Cole Beasley a ton in

2056
01:49:05,160 --> 01:49:07,680
Speaker 1: the second half. Those three third down conversions of third

2057
01:49:07,720 --> 01:49:10,519
Speaker 1: and eleven, third and thirteen, and third and fourteen were huge.

2058
01:49:10,600 --> 01:49:13,519
Speaker 1: I mean, three of the biggest players the entire game

2059
01:49:13,640 --> 01:49:16,560
Speaker 1: all coming from Cole Beasley. He really stepped up for

2060
01:49:16,600 --> 01:49:18,360
Speaker 1: the Bills in the second half. And that can happen

2061
01:49:18,439 --> 01:49:23,680
Speaker 1: when you have Sanders and Diggs going against Howard and

2062
01:49:23,800 --> 01:49:26,960
Speaker 1: Jones on the outside. Then you get Beasley working against

2063
01:49:27,000 --> 01:49:31,799
Speaker 1: either linebackers in zone coverage or primarily against Nick Needham,

2064
01:49:31,840 --> 01:49:34,799
Speaker 1: which is the best matchup when you're when you're scanning

2065
01:49:34,840 --> 01:49:37,080
Speaker 1: the defense for the Bills. YE talk to us a

2066
01:49:37,120 --> 01:49:39,280
Speaker 1: little bit about I want to get your thoughts about

2067
01:49:39,439 --> 01:49:42,440
Speaker 1: the offensive line. They didn't find out until maybe Thursday,

2068
01:49:42,560 --> 01:49:45,719
Speaker 1: maybe Friday, maybe even Saturday, that Spencer Brown was indeed

2069
01:49:45,800 --> 01:49:48,320
Speaker 1: not going to be able to go, So they start

2070
01:49:48,400 --> 01:49:50,320
Speaker 1: the week just kind of patching up, saying let's just

2071
01:49:50,439 --> 01:49:53,599
Speaker 1: get through practice until Spencer gets back at right tackle.

2072
01:49:53,680 --> 01:49:55,439
Speaker 1: Then they go another day, it is still not better.

2073
01:49:55,479 --> 01:49:56,760
Speaker 1: They go a third day, it's like, oh wait a

2074
01:49:56,800 --> 01:50:00,320
Speaker 1: minute now, then they move three three guys are at

2075
01:50:00,360 --> 01:50:03,000
Speaker 1: different spots on the offensive line. Daryl Williams goes from

2076
01:50:03,080 --> 01:50:05,680
Speaker 1: right tackle into right guard. I'm sorry, goes from right

2077
01:50:06,520 --> 01:50:09,960
Speaker 1: right guard to right tackle, Feliciano goes from left guard

2078
01:50:10,000 --> 01:50:11,920
Speaker 1: to right guard, and then Nike Butcker comes in at

2079
01:50:12,000 --> 01:50:14,080
Speaker 1: left guard. So you've got three guys playing in a

2080
01:50:14,120 --> 01:50:17,320
Speaker 1: different spot than they did two weeks ago, and they

2081
01:50:17,400 --> 01:50:19,720
Speaker 1: had like forty eight hours to make it happen. How

2082
01:50:19,920 --> 01:50:25,360
Speaker 1: much how many problems did that cause earlier in that game? Well,

2083
01:50:25,360 --> 01:50:27,160
Speaker 1: when you consider the fact that he said that three

2084
01:50:27,240 --> 01:50:29,680
Speaker 1: guys amongst the offensive line removing around, and then you

2085
01:50:29,760 --> 01:50:31,640
Speaker 1: also don't have your starting tight end, that's a lot

2086
01:50:31,720 --> 01:50:34,800
Speaker 1: of blockers that can affect the run game in particular.

2087
01:50:35,120 --> 01:50:37,400
Speaker 1: And when your run game's not in sync, you look

2088
01:50:37,439 --> 01:50:39,360
Speaker 1: at the offensive line, because you have both your starting

2089
01:50:39,439 --> 01:50:41,360
Speaker 1: running backs in this game, and you look at your

2090
01:50:41,400 --> 01:50:43,640
Speaker 1: tight end, Dawson Knox being out. And I know that

2091
01:50:44,479 --> 01:50:46,920
Speaker 1: Tommy Sweeney is generally known as a better blocker than

2092
01:50:47,000 --> 01:50:49,960
Speaker 1: even Dawson Knox is. But when you combine the fact

2093
01:50:50,000 --> 01:50:52,160
Speaker 1: that now you don't have quite the receiving your thread

2094
01:50:52,200 --> 01:50:54,360
Speaker 1: at tight end, that allows you to stack the box

2095
01:50:54,400 --> 01:50:55,880
Speaker 1: a little bit more against the run game. And I

2096
01:50:55,960 --> 01:50:58,160
Speaker 1: think it played a factor. And the Bill's offensive line

2097
01:50:58,160 --> 01:51:00,640
Speaker 1: have been rolling pretty good with Spencer Brown there. They

2098
01:51:00,720 --> 01:51:03,960
Speaker 1: loved his demeanor. He brings really good in the run game,

2099
01:51:04,520 --> 01:51:06,599
Speaker 1: and I think that played a factor in their slow

2100
01:51:06,640 --> 01:51:09,760
Speaker 1: start as well. And then when you bring those all

2101
01:51:09,800 --> 01:51:12,760
Speaker 1: out pressures and those covers pressures when the Bills weren't

2102
01:51:12,800 --> 01:51:14,720
Speaker 1: checking wide receiver screens, well, now you got to hold

2103
01:51:14,800 --> 01:51:16,880
Speaker 1: up and up front. You gotta win five one on

2104
01:51:17,000 --> 01:51:20,080
Speaker 1: one matchups in those situations. And it just seemed like

2105
01:51:20,200 --> 01:51:22,680
Speaker 1: at times, you know, there was a little bit of

2106
01:51:22,760 --> 01:51:26,800
Speaker 1: leakage up there from some of those pressures up front. Yeah,

2107
01:51:26,880 --> 01:51:31,560
Speaker 1: And I was interested in all the different personnel groupings

2108
01:51:31,640 --> 01:51:35,599
Speaker 1: they used in the front defensively Miami. Sometimes they had

2109
01:51:35,680 --> 01:51:39,360
Speaker 1: one down linemen with three linebackers and seven people in coverage.

2110
01:51:39,400 --> 01:51:42,080
Speaker 1: Other times they had two down lineman, three linebackers. Dime

2111
01:51:42,160 --> 01:51:44,640
Speaker 1: look on the back end, it almost looked like the

2112
01:51:44,760 --> 01:51:49,040
Speaker 1: Dolphins decided we'll be able to get home faster by

2113
01:51:49,120 --> 01:51:53,080
Speaker 1: putting smaller people in the front two blitz, and we'll

2114
01:51:53,120 --> 01:51:56,439
Speaker 1: get home more effectively that way, because our bigger, stronger

2115
01:51:56,520 --> 01:51:58,960
Speaker 1: players just can't get home against this group. And it

2116
01:51:59,080 --> 01:52:04,519
Speaker 1: seemed to work. Yeah, you're exactly right. And then those

2117
01:52:04,560 --> 01:52:06,920
Speaker 1: guys can also catch Josh Allen a little bit quicker

2118
01:52:06,960 --> 01:52:08,760
Speaker 1: than the bigger d lineman if Josh Allen were to

2119
01:52:08,880 --> 01:52:11,600
Speaker 1: escape the pocket or try to run for it. And

2120
01:52:11,720 --> 01:52:13,920
Speaker 1: you're exactly right. I was interested in that as well.

2121
01:52:14,000 --> 01:52:17,360
Speaker 1: And then another reason we might have seen the slower

2122
01:52:18,240 --> 01:52:19,880
Speaker 1: start for the run game in the first half was

2123
01:52:19,960 --> 01:52:22,400
Speaker 1: Rayquon Davis, the nose guard for Miami, was back. He

2124
01:52:22,560 --> 01:52:24,720
Speaker 1: was out for the Week two matchup. I talked to

2125
01:52:24,800 --> 01:52:27,400
Speaker 1: Mitch Morris before that game in Week two, ran into

2126
01:52:27,640 --> 01:52:29,880
Speaker 1: him at the hotel and I said, you never wish

2127
01:52:30,040 --> 01:52:32,240
Speaker 1: injury pon anybody, but you're sure glad ray Kuan's out

2128
01:52:32,240 --> 01:52:33,800
Speaker 1: for this one, right, And He's like, oh yeah. There's

2129
01:52:33,840 --> 01:52:37,120
Speaker 1: not too many six foot seven, three thirty pound nose

2130
01:52:37,160 --> 01:52:39,599
Speaker 1: guards in the NFL that can especially that can move

2131
01:52:39,680 --> 01:52:42,479
Speaker 1: like Rakewon Davis can. Now, Raikuon had a couple of

2132
01:52:42,479 --> 01:52:44,080
Speaker 1: big ponies, Yes, said, I think he had two hands

2133
01:52:44,120 --> 01:52:46,160
Speaker 1: of the face, which can happen when you're that tall,

2134
01:52:46,439 --> 01:52:48,880
Speaker 1: your hands get a little higher just being six foot seven.

2135
01:52:49,000 --> 01:52:52,160
Speaker 1: But he gave the Bills, I believe, two free first

2136
01:52:52,200 --> 01:52:55,000
Speaker 1: downs with hands of the face, pmonies. What did you notice?

2137
01:52:55,400 --> 01:52:58,360
Speaker 1: Generally speaking? Because I said this Arder in the show,

2138
01:52:58,720 --> 01:53:02,320
Speaker 1: I wondered why my ammy seemed to stop sending pressure

2139
01:53:02,360 --> 01:53:05,280
Speaker 1: in the second half. I don't know if you noticed that.

2140
01:53:05,640 --> 01:53:08,160
Speaker 1: What was I looking at that I missed? And why

2141
01:53:08,200 --> 01:53:09,639
Speaker 1: would they have done that? And what do the Bills

2142
01:53:09,680 --> 01:53:11,439
Speaker 1: do to combat it that made them get out of it?

2143
01:53:11,760 --> 01:53:17,200
Speaker 1: If anything? Yeah, you know, I think, well, without without

2144
01:53:17,280 --> 01:53:19,719
Speaker 1: knowing for sure, I would assume that, you know, they

2145
01:53:19,760 --> 01:53:21,720
Speaker 1: assumed that they were playing with fire. They were also

2146
01:53:21,760 --> 01:53:23,559
Speaker 1: doing a pretty good job of push in the pocket

2147
01:53:23,600 --> 01:53:26,400
Speaker 1: when they would just bring four after Josh Allen had

2148
01:53:26,439 --> 01:53:29,000
Speaker 1: the thirty five yard run in the first half, instead

2149
01:53:29,040 --> 01:53:31,479
Speaker 1: of those defensive ends kind of running the hoop they'll

2150
01:53:31,520 --> 01:53:33,120
Speaker 1: call it, or running the hump, whatever they want to

2151
01:53:33,120 --> 01:53:35,080
Speaker 1: call it on the outside, running around the tackles, they

2152
01:53:35,080 --> 01:53:36,759
Speaker 1: were just going to try to go through the tackles

2153
01:53:37,000 --> 01:53:39,759
Speaker 1: and just trying to pressure into Josh Allen by bullrush

2154
01:53:39,840 --> 01:53:42,200
Speaker 1: technique and try and contain them to the pockets. I

2155
01:53:42,200 --> 01:53:44,160
Speaker 1: think they felt pretty good about their format pass rush

2156
01:53:44,360 --> 01:53:46,920
Speaker 1: and then just assumed if they kept bringing pressure at

2157
01:53:47,000 --> 01:53:48,880
Speaker 1: some point they were gonna get burned. I did notice

2158
01:53:48,920 --> 01:53:51,720
Speaker 1: a few all out pressure in the second half, one

2159
01:53:51,760 --> 01:53:54,760
Speaker 1: of which was the Gabe Davis touchdown where Josh Allen

2160
01:53:54,800 --> 01:53:58,519
Speaker 1: stepped up, got the face mask penalty and then was

2161
01:53:58,560 --> 01:54:00,720
Speaker 1: able to hit Gabe Davis. And then a lot of

2162
01:54:00,960 --> 01:54:02,599
Speaker 1: times what the Bills were doing, we're checking the wide

2163
01:54:02,640 --> 01:54:05,280
Speaker 1: receiver screens and one was thrown to Zach Moss who

2164
01:54:05,360 --> 01:54:07,680
Speaker 1: was lined up in a five wide set, so one

2165
01:54:07,800 --> 01:54:09,880
Speaker 1: was to him. But they had digs a couple of

2166
01:54:09,920 --> 01:54:12,439
Speaker 1: times Beasley, and so that was their answer. Get the

2167
01:54:12,479 --> 01:54:14,680
Speaker 1: ball out of Josh's hands quickly, try and get it

2168
01:54:14,760 --> 01:54:16,960
Speaker 1: to the outside while everyone's packed in for the blitz.

2169
01:54:17,280 --> 01:54:19,639
Speaker 1: And we saw the Bills last year's score a couple

2170
01:54:19,640 --> 01:54:22,320
Speaker 1: of touchdowns on those planes, pretty close to breaking one yesterday,

2171
01:54:22,760 --> 01:54:25,360
Speaker 1: just not be able to hit a big one on them. Yeah,

2172
01:54:25,479 --> 01:54:27,720
Speaker 1: because in the first half when they were trying to

2173
01:54:27,760 --> 01:54:31,479
Speaker 1: look for answers, they were using the bubbles and even

2174
01:54:31,560 --> 01:54:34,520
Speaker 1: some swing passes to try to neutralize that rush, but

2175
01:54:34,640 --> 01:54:37,040
Speaker 1: they really didn't have a tremendous amount of success out

2176
01:54:37,120 --> 01:54:39,560
Speaker 1: in space, even when they had a blocker or two

2177
01:54:39,640 --> 01:54:43,760
Speaker 1: out there for you know, the ball carrier. Steve and

2178
01:54:43,800 --> 01:54:47,640
Speaker 1: I were knocking this around yesterday. Well, just one more

2179
01:54:47,720 --> 01:54:51,080
Speaker 1: thing in regards to the blitz. To your original question, Steve,

2180
01:54:52,440 --> 01:54:54,680
Speaker 1: I didn't notice necessarily in the moment, but it'd be

2181
01:54:54,760 --> 01:54:57,280
Speaker 1: interesting to go back and track for the Bills and

2182
01:54:57,640 --> 01:55:00,760
Speaker 1: for the Dolphins if you were more comfortable with those

2183
01:55:00,840 --> 01:55:03,320
Speaker 1: all out pressures while the offense was going into the

2184
01:55:03,400 --> 01:55:06,879
Speaker 1: wind and that was a stiff wind from the broadcast

2185
01:55:06,920 --> 01:55:09,120
Speaker 1: movie running left or right across the field for us,

2186
01:55:09,280 --> 01:55:11,280
Speaker 1: and you saw it with the fifty seven yard field goal.

2187
01:55:11,320 --> 01:55:13,040
Speaker 1: You saw it on all the kickoffs, how much that

2188
01:55:13,160 --> 01:55:16,000
Speaker 1: ball was carrying with the wind. And it'd be interesting

2189
01:55:16,040 --> 01:55:17,880
Speaker 1: to go back and chart. So the Bills in the

2190
01:55:18,120 --> 01:55:20,320
Speaker 1: fourth quarter had the wind if there was less all

2191
01:55:20,360 --> 01:55:23,000
Speaker 1: out pressures because of the fact that now you could

2192
01:55:23,040 --> 01:55:25,320
Speaker 1: take the top off with the wind. That's good. That's

2193
01:55:25,320 --> 01:55:27,120
Speaker 1: a good point. I hadn't thought about that. Yeah, it

2194
01:55:27,200 --> 01:55:28,800
Speaker 1: might have been might have been the conditions. But with

2195
01:55:29,000 --> 01:55:31,800
Speaker 1: respect to those you know, bubbles and swing passes they

2196
01:55:31,840 --> 01:55:33,880
Speaker 1: were running to try to neutralize the blitz a little bit.

2197
01:55:34,200 --> 01:55:36,200
Speaker 1: They went to the well a lot on that didn't

2198
01:55:36,240 --> 01:55:39,280
Speaker 1: really get any big gainers at times, it kept them

2199
01:55:39,320 --> 01:55:41,480
Speaker 1: on schedule at least in terms of down and distance.

2200
01:55:42,160 --> 01:55:44,160
Speaker 1: Steve and I were talking about this earlier in the show.

2201
01:55:45,760 --> 01:55:48,280
Speaker 1: This was probably an adjustment they made in game to

2202
01:55:48,360 --> 01:55:51,120
Speaker 1: combat what they were getting. In a game where maybe

2203
01:55:51,160 --> 01:55:54,080
Speaker 1: they make that part of the game plan. Is it

2204
01:55:54,240 --> 01:55:57,400
Speaker 1: better to have Matt Breta up to execute those kinds

2205
01:55:57,440 --> 01:56:02,000
Speaker 1: of plays? Potentially, But the Bills like what they got

2206
01:56:02,080 --> 01:56:04,640
Speaker 1: and Zach Moss in Devil's Singletary and they've shown that,

2207
01:56:04,760 --> 01:56:07,720
Speaker 1: and I wouldn't expect to see Breeda in there. But

2208
01:56:07,880 --> 01:56:10,760
Speaker 1: you're exactly right if that's going to be your game plan.

2209
01:56:10,920 --> 01:56:13,960
Speaker 1: If instead of having a traditional run game, your version

2210
01:56:14,000 --> 01:56:16,160
Speaker 1: of the run game will be the swing passes, those

2211
01:56:16,200 --> 01:56:19,640
Speaker 1: wide receiver screens, which I generally will just call extended handoffs.

2212
01:56:19,720 --> 01:56:22,920
Speaker 1: You know those are almost one throws the outside, and

2213
01:56:23,120 --> 01:56:25,640
Speaker 1: that's an extension of your run game, then you're right

2214
01:56:25,800 --> 01:56:28,800
Speaker 1: on those swing passes. I'd probably like Matt Breda in

2215
01:56:28,880 --> 01:56:33,560
Speaker 1: space over maybe anybody else in the Bills running back room. Yeah,

2216
01:56:33,600 --> 01:56:36,120
Speaker 1: And I would agree that if you can if you

2217
01:56:36,160 --> 01:56:37,720
Speaker 1: can get the guys to catch it on the run

2218
01:56:37,760 --> 01:56:39,320
Speaker 1: and get it get it out of his hand quick,

2219
01:56:40,240 --> 01:56:45,080
Speaker 1: no question. I think people were really taken aback by

2220
01:56:45,200 --> 01:56:47,720
Speaker 1: the fact the Bills continued to have that one answer

2221
01:56:47,960 --> 01:56:51,040
Speaker 1: Sean McDermot his postgame comments, We've talked about this little bit.

2222
01:56:51,040 --> 01:56:52,600
Speaker 1: He said, we were spending the dial a little bit

2223
01:56:52,600 --> 01:56:55,720
Speaker 1: to try and find something that works. Certainly, neither team

2224
01:56:55,840 --> 01:56:58,040
Speaker 1: defensively needed to spend the dial much more than they

2225
01:56:58,080 --> 01:57:00,480
Speaker 1: already did. I thought both defenses in the first half,

2226
01:57:01,120 --> 01:57:02,880
Speaker 1: we're doing what they needed to do. Now, certainly the

2227
01:57:02,920 --> 01:57:05,240
Speaker 1: Bills missed an opportunity on that first third down where

2228
01:57:05,240 --> 01:57:08,880
Speaker 1: you spoke about where you know, if he and I

2229
01:57:09,160 --> 01:57:10,600
Speaker 1: we can talk about this all day, but if he

2230
01:57:10,720 --> 01:57:15,120
Speaker 1: hits that pass to Steph Diggs, that changes everything for

2231
01:57:15,200 --> 01:57:17,720
Speaker 1: the defensive mindset of the Dolphins, because if you snap

2232
01:57:17,800 --> 01:57:20,880
Speaker 1: off and what would have been at least a forty

2233
01:57:20,960 --> 01:57:24,520
Speaker 1: yard gain, the Dolphins might think twice about doing what

2234
01:57:24,600 --> 01:57:26,720
Speaker 1: they were doing in that first half, but they didn't

2235
01:57:26,760 --> 01:57:28,680
Speaker 1: complete it. They go three and out, and now the

2236
01:57:28,720 --> 01:57:30,280
Speaker 1: Dolphins are like, ah, we'll go with it a little

2237
01:57:30,320 --> 01:57:34,360
Speaker 1: bit more. Oh, I agree one with that. Yeah, I

2238
01:57:34,440 --> 01:57:37,920
Speaker 1: think it changes the whole whole projection of the game.

2239
01:57:37,960 --> 01:57:41,160
Speaker 1: And then when you consider how well the Bills pass

2240
01:57:41,240 --> 01:57:43,000
Speaker 1: rush did down in Miami, a lot of that came

2241
01:57:43,080 --> 01:57:45,800
Speaker 1: with them being up by two scores for a majority

2242
01:57:45,800 --> 01:57:47,760
Speaker 1: of the game, and so the Bills are simply in

2243
01:57:47,840 --> 01:57:49,600
Speaker 1: teoff mode. So there was a lot of reasons that

2244
01:57:49,680 --> 01:57:52,280
Speaker 1: maybe they were spinning that dial and thinking, hey, our

2245
01:57:52,280 --> 01:57:54,720
Speaker 1: pass rush lit up Miami in the first game, that'll

2246
01:57:54,800 --> 01:57:57,640
Speaker 1: light them up again. We're gonna bring the same types

2247
01:57:57,680 --> 01:58:00,680
Speaker 1: of pressures and some were getting home others others weren't.

2248
01:58:00,680 --> 01:58:02,400
Speaker 1: And then, you know, the only thing I can think

2249
01:58:02,560 --> 01:58:06,720
Speaker 1: potentially that they were spending their dialog defensively early on,

2250
01:58:06,840 --> 01:58:09,560
Speaker 1: DeVante Parker was an issue. They were matching them up

2251
01:58:09,560 --> 01:58:13,640
Speaker 1: against Levi Wallace and they're in or against the zone defense.

2252
01:58:13,720 --> 01:58:15,800
Speaker 1: He was finding space between the linebackers. I believe he

2253
01:58:15,880 --> 01:58:18,680
Speaker 1: had four catches for sixty yards in the first quarter.

2254
01:58:18,960 --> 01:58:20,800
Speaker 1: But then they really put the clamps down on him.

2255
01:58:21,080 --> 01:58:23,080
Speaker 1: Not a hole block from him the rest of the game.

2256
01:58:23,200 --> 01:58:26,520
Speaker 1: So and I thought, Levi I lost a good job

2257
01:58:26,600 --> 01:58:28,600
Speaker 1: on him as the day goes on, and really just

2258
01:58:28,720 --> 01:58:32,720
Speaker 1: one drop by Parker where you know, I don't want

2259
01:58:32,720 --> 01:58:34,280
Speaker 1: to say they got lucky, but that was the only

2260
01:58:35,360 --> 01:58:39,480
Speaker 1: mistake that the Bills didn't necessarily force from Miami. But defensively,

2261
01:58:39,520 --> 01:58:41,320
Speaker 1: the Bills looked great again. And when you talk about

2262
01:58:41,360 --> 01:58:43,160
Speaker 1: coming off a week where you give up thirty four

2263
01:58:43,200 --> 01:58:45,240
Speaker 1: points and the loss at Tennessee, it was great to

2264
01:58:45,280 --> 01:58:48,040
Speaker 1: see them step up the way they did yesterday. Early on,

2265
01:58:48,560 --> 01:58:50,880
Speaker 1: the Dolphins were going to test this Bills run defense

2266
01:58:50,960 --> 01:58:52,640
Speaker 1: that gave up over one hundred yards of the Henry

2267
01:58:52,760 --> 01:58:55,680
Speaker 1: last week or two weeks ago, I guess, and the

2268
01:58:55,760 --> 01:58:59,080
Speaker 1: Bills hold him to three yards are under per carry

2269
01:58:59,120 --> 01:59:01,840
Speaker 1: in the game, which is great. Yeah, and ed Oliver

2270
01:59:02,200 --> 01:59:04,360
Speaker 1: was probably leading the charge on that front. I mean,

2271
01:59:04,440 --> 01:59:06,360
Speaker 1: got off to a really good start and sustain that

2272
01:59:06,840 --> 01:59:08,600
Speaker 1: through the majority of the first half. He even made

2273
01:59:08,640 --> 01:59:12,000
Speaker 1: a couple of plays in the second half. That's what

2274
01:59:12,120 --> 01:59:15,840
Speaker 1: they need out of Ed Oliver every single week. So

2275
01:59:16,240 --> 01:59:19,360
Speaker 1: while it was encouraging to see it this week, now

2276
01:59:19,440 --> 01:59:22,680
Speaker 1: the challenge is getting him to sustain that, right Because

2277
01:59:22,720 --> 01:59:24,800
Speaker 1: you get that kind of play out of him on

2278
01:59:24,920 --> 01:59:28,600
Speaker 1: the interior, you know it's it's got the potential to

2279
01:59:28,680 --> 01:59:30,520
Speaker 1: maybe pull some of the attention away from some of

2280
01:59:30,560 --> 01:59:34,240
Speaker 1: the edge players. You're exactly right, and that's what they

2281
01:59:34,280 --> 01:59:36,360
Speaker 1: expected out of Ed when they drafted him in the

2282
01:59:36,400 --> 01:59:38,880
Speaker 1: top ten. He's not an overly big defensive tackle, but

2283
01:59:38,960 --> 01:59:41,560
Speaker 1: he's so explosive he could penetrate and he was a

2284
01:59:41,640 --> 01:59:43,920
Speaker 1: force early in the game. And you know, maybe it's

2285
01:59:43,960 --> 01:59:47,400
Speaker 1: just maybe it's just how our brains work. When we

2286
01:59:47,480 --> 01:59:50,240
Speaker 1: see it something early in the game, we tend to

2287
01:59:50,240 --> 01:59:52,360
Speaker 1: see it more often as it goes. But throughout Ed's career,

2288
01:59:52,400 --> 01:59:54,800
Speaker 1: I just feel like in games where he's made plays,

2289
01:59:54,920 --> 01:59:56,680
Speaker 1: let's call it the first series of the game, first

2290
01:59:56,720 --> 01:59:58,520
Speaker 1: couple series of the game, feels like you see him

2291
01:59:58,560 --> 02:00:00,920
Speaker 1: throughout the rest of the game up consistently, and then

2292
02:00:00,920 --> 02:00:03,240
Speaker 1: the ones that maybe he's being double teamed early, maybe

2293
02:00:03,320 --> 02:00:05,920
Speaker 1: just can't flash early. It seems like kind of disappears

2294
02:00:05,960 --> 02:00:07,800
Speaker 1: for the remainder of the game. But you're exactly right,

2295
02:00:07,880 --> 02:00:12,040
Speaker 1: And if this defense just goes a whole new level,

2296
02:00:12,320 --> 02:00:15,800
Speaker 1: if at Oliver starts playing consistently like he did yesterday,

2297
02:00:15,880 --> 02:00:17,560
Speaker 1: and you know, I just think it's great, how many,

2298
02:00:18,600 --> 02:00:21,680
Speaker 1: how many just valuable players there are in this Bill's

2299
02:00:21,760 --> 02:00:24,240
Speaker 1: roster that in a game where you know the outside

2300
02:00:24,280 --> 02:00:27,320
Speaker 1: receivers aren't getting the same production Immanuel Sanders goes without

2301
02:00:27,320 --> 02:00:29,280
Speaker 1: a catch. When you in a game like that, Cole

2302
02:00:29,320 --> 02:00:32,160
Speaker 1: Beasley steps up and goes for over a hundred yards

2303
02:00:32,200 --> 02:00:35,080
Speaker 1: and has eleven catches. And then defensively, the defensive ends

2304
02:00:35,080 --> 02:00:36,920
Speaker 1: aren't getting home like they did in the first matchup.

2305
02:00:36,960 --> 02:00:39,160
Speaker 1: But now here comes at Oliver tackles for loss. He

2306
02:00:39,200 --> 02:00:41,080
Speaker 1: gets his first sack of the year wiped off the

2307
02:00:41,120 --> 02:00:43,800
Speaker 1: board because of the penalty on the off sides. But

2308
02:00:44,120 --> 02:00:46,960
Speaker 1: you know, Oliver steps up in a big way. And

2309
02:00:47,280 --> 02:00:50,440
Speaker 1: you know, I've said it on the broadcast, and when

2310
02:00:50,480 --> 02:00:52,600
Speaker 1: you're a fifteen point favorite, it's the tie ball game,

2311
02:00:52,800 --> 02:00:55,640
Speaker 1: it's not necessarily a hot take. But when Milano crushed

2312
02:00:55,760 --> 02:00:59,680
Speaker 1: Miles Gaskin on the swing pass, you could tell the

2313
02:00:59,760 --> 02:01:02,280
Speaker 1: stadium had a whole new energy about him, the defense

2314
02:01:02,320 --> 02:01:04,160
Speaker 1: had a whole new energy about him. You know, it

2315
02:01:04,240 --> 02:01:07,200
Speaker 1: just seemed like everything kind of flowed from that point on.

2316
02:01:07,640 --> 02:01:09,160
Speaker 1: So I'm not trying to act like I had an

2317
02:01:09,240 --> 02:01:11,840
Speaker 1: extremely hot take on the broadcast saying that the Bills

2318
02:01:11,880 --> 02:01:14,600
Speaker 1: would start rolling at that point, but it did come

2319
02:01:14,640 --> 02:01:17,280
Speaker 1: to fruition. Yeah, there's no question I remember that play

2320
02:01:17,400 --> 02:01:20,400
Speaker 1: as well, and you could feel that that lifted and

2321
02:01:20,960 --> 02:01:23,200
Speaker 1: I thought the exact same thing. It's exactly the kind

2322
02:01:23,240 --> 02:01:25,360
Speaker 1: of play that on the sideline, you're like, all right,

2323
02:01:25,480 --> 02:01:28,520
Speaker 1: finally somebody made a statement. The Bill defense had played

2324
02:01:28,560 --> 02:01:30,960
Speaker 1: extremely well all throughout the game. They only gave up

2325
02:01:31,000 --> 02:01:34,480
Speaker 1: eleven points in the entire afternoon, and you know, they

2326
02:01:34,560 --> 02:01:37,760
Speaker 1: weren't They didn't have any you know, spectacularly huge. Place

2327
02:01:37,840 --> 02:01:39,640
Speaker 1: had a sack, here, had a tackle for Lass here,

2328
02:01:39,680 --> 02:01:41,880
Speaker 1: stopped him on a four third down in short on

2329
02:01:41,920 --> 02:01:44,640
Speaker 1: a run play. I get all that, but that defense

2330
02:01:47,520 --> 02:01:52,280
Speaker 1: stifling and yet yeah, kind of unspectacular, and I think

2331
02:01:52,280 --> 02:01:54,440
Speaker 1: they didn't get enough credit for how well they played

2332
02:01:54,480 --> 02:01:57,800
Speaker 1: against the Miami offense that was you know, let's face it,

2333
02:01:57,920 --> 02:02:00,520
Speaker 1: they had They're all hands on deck on that side

2334
02:02:00,560 --> 02:02:04,600
Speaker 1: of the bowl. Yeah, they play the Dolphins in two games,

2335
02:02:04,680 --> 02:02:06,800
Speaker 1: give up eleven total points, and if not for a

2336
02:02:06,880 --> 02:02:09,560
Speaker 1: fourth and fourth conversion where Gaseki takes it all the

2337
02:02:09,600 --> 02:02:11,800
Speaker 1: way down near the goal line, you take away that

2338
02:02:11,920 --> 02:02:13,760
Speaker 1: one play where they end up getting eight points on

2339
02:02:13,840 --> 02:02:15,840
Speaker 1: that drive, they might only give up three points their

2340
02:02:15,880 --> 02:02:18,400
Speaker 1: two games against the Dolphins. And that's what you want

2341
02:02:18,560 --> 02:02:21,520
Speaker 1: when you're playing divisional games. You want to continue that

2342
02:02:21,680 --> 02:02:24,680
Speaker 1: dominance to go undefeating the division last year, two and

2343
02:02:24,760 --> 02:02:28,520
Speaker 1: o to start this year and really convincing fashion against Miami.

2344
02:02:28,600 --> 02:02:31,280
Speaker 1: And that's a franchise. We'll see if anything happens here

2345
02:02:31,560 --> 02:02:33,880
Speaker 1: at the trade deadline. But you know, you get all

2346
02:02:33,960 --> 02:02:36,560
Speaker 1: that draft capital when you trade away Laramie Tunsil and

2347
02:02:36,600 --> 02:02:39,440
Speaker 1: you draft your quarterback in the top five there was.

2348
02:02:40,040 --> 02:02:41,920
Speaker 1: They had the number one scoring defense in the league

2349
02:02:41,960 --> 02:02:44,200
Speaker 1: last year. There was just so much optimism about this team,

2350
02:02:44,200 --> 02:02:46,000
Speaker 1: A lot of teams, a lot of people out there

2351
02:02:46,040 --> 02:02:48,240
Speaker 1: picking just assume that this would be a double digit

2352
02:02:48,280 --> 02:02:50,760
Speaker 1: win team, and that the afc S would have multiple

2353
02:02:50,800 --> 02:02:53,880
Speaker 1: double digit win teams. And now they have one win

2354
02:02:54,040 --> 02:02:56,920
Speaker 1: through eight weeks of the season. So Eric, before we

2355
02:02:57,040 --> 02:02:59,880
Speaker 1: let you go, we know you've got your annual charity event,

2356
02:03:00,040 --> 02:03:02,760
Speaker 1: the Flights and Bites, going on tonight. I believe it

2357
02:03:02,880 --> 02:03:05,760
Speaker 1: is sold out last I checked. But there is still

2358
02:03:05,760 --> 02:03:08,320
Speaker 1: an opportunity for people to make donations right us to

2359
02:03:08,360 --> 02:03:12,040
Speaker 1: tell them where they can do that. Yeah, through a

2360
02:03:12,240 --> 02:03:15,360
Speaker 1: shot Children's Hospital website and you can go to the

2361
02:03:15,880 --> 02:03:18,560
Speaker 1: Evan Wood Fund link and do it there. I'll post

2362
02:03:18,600 --> 02:03:21,360
Speaker 1: it through my social media as well at Ewood seventy.

2363
02:03:21,520 --> 02:03:25,160
Speaker 1: I'll post the link on there. And I always say this,

2364
02:03:25,440 --> 02:03:28,720
Speaker 1: and I'm not trying to demean other foundations, but there

2365
02:03:28,720 --> 02:03:32,080
Speaker 1: will be no administrative fees taking out of your donations.

2366
02:03:32,120 --> 02:03:35,040
Speaker 1: Every dollar will go straight to families in need that

2367
02:03:35,160 --> 02:03:38,480
Speaker 1: have children that have been treated at a shot Children's hospital,

2368
02:03:38,600 --> 02:03:41,720
Speaker 1: and we're going to try to provide Christmas for any

2369
02:03:41,800 --> 02:03:44,320
Speaker 1: family in need that has a child in the hospital.

2370
02:03:44,360 --> 02:03:46,760
Speaker 1: We continue to have our suite for the Bills Games,

2371
02:03:46,800 --> 02:03:48,720
Speaker 1: which is a lot of fun and for many families

2372
02:03:48,760 --> 02:03:50,480
Speaker 1: that's the only time that they get to leave the

2373
02:03:50,560 --> 02:03:52,920
Speaker 1: hospital the entire week would be to come to a

2374
02:03:53,120 --> 02:03:57,360
Speaker 1: disinfected Bill suite where they get, you know, just a

2375
02:03:57,480 --> 02:04:01,320
Speaker 1: royal treatment there. And so looking forward to another great night,

2376
02:04:01,360 --> 02:04:04,280
Speaker 1: the event is sold out. Unfortunately, that means we either

2377
02:04:04,320 --> 02:04:06,000
Speaker 1: need to find a bigger spot next year, maybe do

2378
02:04:06,400 --> 02:04:10,600
Speaker 1: multiple events. But this Western New York community, I don't

2379
02:04:10,640 --> 02:04:13,840
Speaker 1: want to say it ever surprises me because their generosity

2380
02:04:14,680 --> 02:04:18,520
Speaker 1: is consistent, but it's it's extremely humbling when you know,

2381
02:04:18,800 --> 02:04:22,000
Speaker 1: I'm not even a current player anymore and these events

2382
02:04:22,040 --> 02:04:25,440
Speaker 1: sell out the way they do. It's it's it's incredible. Yeah,

2383
02:04:25,760 --> 02:04:27,400
Speaker 1: well Brownie and I well, I'll be there tonight and

2384
02:04:28,080 --> 02:04:30,240
Speaker 1: Brownie's gonna be there as well. Look forward to seeing

2385
02:04:30,280 --> 02:04:31,800
Speaker 1: you there tonight. Good luck with it. I hope that

2386
02:04:32,160 --> 02:04:35,560
Speaker 1: it surpasses our wildest dreams. I know Bill's fans will

2387
02:04:35,760 --> 02:04:37,760
Speaker 1: rise up. It'll be great. Thanks Eric for being a

2388
02:04:37,880 --> 02:04:41,120
Speaker 1: contributor to that. Appreciate you, no no doubt about it,

2389
02:04:41,160 --> 02:04:42,360
Speaker 1: and thank you guys for coming to look forward to

2390
02:04:42,360 --> 02:04:43,880
Speaker 1: see you guys a little bit. All right, we'll see

2391
02:04:43,880 --> 02:04:46,200
Speaker 1: you tonight. That's Eric Wood joining us here on one.

2392
02:04:46,280 --> 02:04:50,440
Speaker 1: Bill's Live has his annual Flights and Bites charity event

2393
02:04:51,360 --> 02:04:54,680
Speaker 1: part of the Evan Wood Foundation. So donations can still

2394
02:04:54,760 --> 02:04:57,760
Speaker 1: be made if you go to Oshie Children's Hospital and

2395
02:04:57,920 --> 02:05:00,520
Speaker 1: to their link. But if you can't find that link,

2396
02:05:00,560 --> 02:05:03,640
Speaker 1: you can find Eric at Ewood seventy on Twitter. He's

2397
02:05:03,640 --> 02:05:06,120
Speaker 1: going to post the link to donate there as well.

2398
02:05:06,160 --> 02:05:07,800
Speaker 1: It should be a fun event tonight. We're looking forward

2399
02:05:07,840 --> 02:05:11,320
Speaker 1: to joining him in his efforts to help kids in

2400
02:05:11,400 --> 02:05:15,200
Speaker 1: the Western New York community that are patients at Children's hospital.

2401
02:05:15,240 --> 02:05:18,480
Speaker 1: So certainly a great cause there. We wanted to get

2402
02:05:18,520 --> 02:05:21,440
Speaker 1: back to the phones and to the tweet sheet before

2403
02:05:21,520 --> 02:05:24,520
Speaker 1: we took our next break here and Brad and Grand

2404
02:05:24,560 --> 02:05:27,240
Speaker 1: Island has been waiting patiently there, So let's go to Brad.

2405
02:05:27,640 --> 02:05:29,080
Speaker 1: What do you have for us? Brad, you're on one

2406
02:05:29,160 --> 02:05:32,200
Speaker 1: Bill's Live. Hey, guys, thanks for taking my call. Sure. Hey,

2407
02:05:32,320 --> 02:05:34,440
Speaker 1: we watched the Bills game yesterday and you know, we

2408
02:05:34,520 --> 02:05:36,920
Speaker 1: got the top one of the top ranked defenses in

2409
02:05:37,000 --> 02:05:39,640
Speaker 1: the league. But we haven't seen anything like that Tampa

2410
02:05:39,760 --> 02:05:43,760
Speaker 1: Bay New Orleans game last night. The physicality in that game.

2411
02:05:44,200 --> 02:05:47,640
Speaker 1: I mean, we haven't matched that or even seen that

2412
02:05:47,840 --> 02:05:50,560
Speaker 1: yet this year. And we got to play both those teams.

2413
02:05:50,640 --> 02:05:53,400
Speaker 1: And so what do you guys think about that? I'll

2414
02:05:53,440 --> 02:05:56,600
Speaker 1: be I think they're probably our guys are probably looking

2415
02:05:56,600 --> 02:05:59,040
Speaker 1: forward to the challenge certainly. And I'll say this too.

2416
02:06:00,440 --> 02:06:03,160
Speaker 1: As a player, I remember being on a really good

2417
02:06:03,200 --> 02:06:07,760
Speaker 1: football team and watching other teams play and thinking to myself, Wow,

2418
02:06:08,800 --> 02:06:13,000
Speaker 1: those games look really good and and when you get

2419
02:06:13,040 --> 02:06:16,280
Speaker 1: into the game, you realize you're really good too. And

2420
02:06:17,280 --> 02:06:20,880
Speaker 1: believe me, that physicality and that stuff that you see

2421
02:06:20,960 --> 02:06:25,800
Speaker 1: on Monday night football, yeah, it's there. And some of

2422
02:06:25,840 --> 02:06:28,200
Speaker 1: these games turn out that way and some and sometimes

2423
02:06:28,280 --> 02:06:30,440
Speaker 1: you show up and some teams aren't ready for it. Um.

2424
02:06:30,600 --> 02:06:32,920
Speaker 1: I have no doubt though, that the level of the

2425
02:06:32,960 --> 02:06:34,840
Speaker 1: Bills are gonna play out for the rest of this season.

2426
02:06:35,200 --> 02:06:37,960
Speaker 1: We've made a lot about this that somehow, because we're

2427
02:06:38,000 --> 02:06:41,640
Speaker 1: playing yesterday, you're playing the Dolphins, this week you're playing

2428
02:06:41,680 --> 02:06:43,680
Speaker 1: the Jaguars, and the next week after that you're playing

2429
02:06:43,720 --> 02:06:46,080
Speaker 1: the Jets, that somehow the Bills are gonna turn soft.

2430
02:06:47,920 --> 02:06:54,280
Speaker 1: Don't believe it. Um, don't believe it that they're not

2431
02:06:54,760 --> 02:06:57,440
Speaker 1: so um, it's gonna be. Yeah, the Bills will look

2432
02:06:57,480 --> 02:06:59,880
Speaker 1: forward to that challenge. Those are two really good football teams.

2433
02:07:00,240 --> 02:07:03,600
Speaker 1: They get them both on primetime games on the road

2434
02:07:03,760 --> 02:07:06,760
Speaker 1: and on the road Tampa's a four o'clock game, but yeah, yeah,

2435
02:07:06,840 --> 02:07:09,520
Speaker 1: and Tampa's a four o'clock game and the Saints are

2436
02:07:09,760 --> 02:07:15,400
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving night. Yeah, that's that's big. We'll see how it goes. Yeah,

2437
02:07:15,400 --> 02:07:17,320
Speaker 1: Saints may not. That looks like they're not gonna have

2438
02:07:17,440 --> 02:07:20,160
Speaker 1: Jameis Winston the rest of the year. Trevor Simeon might

2439
02:07:20,200 --> 02:07:22,920
Speaker 1: be their weekly starting quarterback with Taysom Hill mixed in,

2440
02:07:23,680 --> 02:07:26,080
Speaker 1: and that's a change to how they're going to be

2441
02:07:26,160 --> 02:07:28,400
Speaker 1: doing business on a week to week basis. Their defense

2442
02:07:28,520 --> 02:07:31,480
Speaker 1: is really stout. Though it's hard not to be impressed

2443
02:07:31,760 --> 02:07:33,600
Speaker 1: by that defense. I believe they have the number one

2444
02:07:33,720 --> 02:07:37,400
Speaker 1: red zone defense in football right now, and they handed

2445
02:07:37,440 --> 02:07:40,360
Speaker 1: it to the Bucks again yesterday, picked off Brady a

2446
02:07:40,440 --> 02:07:42,760
Speaker 1: couple of times. We're all up in his kitchen for

2447
02:07:42,880 --> 02:07:46,080
Speaker 1: most of the day. And Tampa, you know, they got

2448
02:07:46,120 --> 02:07:49,000
Speaker 1: a pretty darn good defense as well. So Buffalo's offense

2449
02:07:49,040 --> 02:07:51,920
Speaker 1: will be challenged by both of those teams respective defenses.

2450
02:07:51,960 --> 02:07:54,480
Speaker 1: So gonna be some firm tests, you know, I'm coming

2451
02:07:54,520 --> 02:07:56,520
Speaker 1: up down the road. We haven't talked about this, I

2452
02:07:56,560 --> 02:07:58,640
Speaker 1: don't think today, I don't We didn't talk about it.

2453
02:07:58,760 --> 02:08:01,320
Speaker 1: But you you talk about the teams that Buffalo has

2454
02:08:01,400 --> 02:08:03,240
Speaker 1: played and are going to play. You look back at

2455
02:08:03,280 --> 02:08:05,760
Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans today. It was the word came out

2456
02:08:05,800 --> 02:08:09,680
Speaker 1: that Ry Henry Fos got a foot injury that may

2457
02:08:09,800 --> 02:08:12,120
Speaker 1: keep him out for the entire year, the remainder of

2458
02:08:12,160 --> 02:08:15,000
Speaker 1: the year. A lot of people are like, let me

2459
02:08:15,080 --> 02:08:18,880
Speaker 1: just say, let me just caution you to keep from

2460
02:08:19,000 --> 02:08:21,400
Speaker 1: throwing dirt on the Tennessee Titans. Write them off. Yeah,

2461
02:08:21,440 --> 02:08:23,560
Speaker 1: don't write them off. There's a lot of good players

2462
02:08:23,600 --> 02:08:25,840
Speaker 1: on that team. They've got a really sharp coaching staff

2463
02:08:25,920 --> 02:08:28,400
Speaker 1: on that team, and they're gonna They're gonna rally. Now.

2464
02:08:28,560 --> 02:08:30,160
Speaker 1: They may stumble for a week or two or a

2465
02:08:30,240 --> 02:08:31,720
Speaker 1: month even, but they're gonna be there at the end

2466
02:08:31,720 --> 02:08:32,880
Speaker 1: of it, and you're gonna have to deal with him.

2467
02:08:32,920 --> 02:08:35,680
Speaker 1: So with or without Derry Henry, they're better with him. No,

2468
02:08:35,880 --> 02:08:37,800
Speaker 1: don't get me wrong. They're better with him because he's

2469
02:08:37,800 --> 02:08:41,440
Speaker 1: a singularly great player. But don't think like the Tennessee

2470
02:08:41,480 --> 02:08:44,320
Speaker 1: Titans are gonna go hide and curl up in a

2471
02:08:44,360 --> 02:08:47,320
Speaker 1: fetal put the closet. They got room, they got margin

2472
02:08:47,400 --> 02:08:50,120
Speaker 1: for error. Here, there's six and two and they're atop

2473
02:08:50,200 --> 02:08:54,120
Speaker 1: the AFC South with no team within three games of

2474
02:08:54,160 --> 02:08:56,320
Speaker 1: them after they beat the Colts yesterday to drop them

2475
02:08:56,400 --> 02:08:58,920
Speaker 1: to three and five, right, I mean, I mean their

2476
02:08:58,960 --> 02:09:02,000
Speaker 1: division's a joke. Yeah, there's six and two. Indianapolis is

2477
02:09:02,080 --> 02:09:05,560
Speaker 1: next with their three and five, and Tennessee beat them yesterday. Yeah,

2478
02:09:05,880 --> 02:09:10,800
Speaker 1: so they've got Yeah, they're four games up on these guys.

2479
02:09:11,600 --> 02:09:14,360
Speaker 1: Quickly to the tweet sheet presented by Corrigan Moving Systems,

2480
02:09:14,400 --> 02:09:17,360
Speaker 1: the official equipment moving company of the Buffalo Bills. Biggest

2481
02:09:17,400 --> 02:09:19,920
Speaker 1: takeaway from the win yesterday, Willie says Cole Beasley is

2482
02:09:20,000 --> 02:09:22,440
Speaker 1: very important to this team going down the stretch and

2483
02:09:22,560 --> 02:09:26,600
Speaker 1: into the postseason. Agreed Seth says Josh and the offense

2484
02:09:26,640 --> 02:09:28,440
Speaker 1: can be unstoppable at times if they've got to be

2485
02:09:28,520 --> 02:09:30,720
Speaker 1: more consistent early in games. The lack of ability to

2486
02:09:30,800 --> 02:09:33,600
Speaker 1: finish drives early or even get them going will hurt

2487
02:09:33,680 --> 02:09:36,600
Speaker 1: us against better teams like it did against Tennessee. Also,

2488
02:09:36,760 --> 02:09:38,600
Speaker 1: Ed Oliver came to play. We need to see more

2489
02:09:38,640 --> 02:09:41,040
Speaker 1: of that. Nick says. It's a sign of a good

2490
02:09:41,080 --> 02:09:43,879
Speaker 1: team that we can start slowly yet still win comfortably

2491
02:09:43,920 --> 02:09:46,080
Speaker 1: by two touchdowns. I'm just a little bit concerned about

2492
02:09:46,080 --> 02:09:48,320
Speaker 1: the old line. It's one thing to get pushed around

2493
02:09:48,320 --> 02:09:50,640
Speaker 1: by the Titans power run team, but I didn't expect

2494
02:09:50,680 --> 02:09:52,640
Speaker 1: them to get pushed around so much by Miami. What

2495
02:09:52,720 --> 02:09:57,200
Speaker 1: do we think of that? Yeah, you're kind of You've

2496
02:09:57,240 --> 02:09:59,200
Speaker 1: been chalking it up today to all the changes up

2497
02:09:59,240 --> 02:10:01,560
Speaker 1: front more than anything else they got. They got an

2498
02:10:01,600 --> 02:10:07,920
Speaker 1: offensive lineman that I don't think that. Yeah, I don't. Yeah,

2499
02:10:09,560 --> 02:10:12,080
Speaker 1: I don't think. I don't think the Bills are gonna

2500
02:10:12,120 --> 02:10:14,240
Speaker 1: get pushed around. I think their offensive line shuffles heard

2501
02:10:14,280 --> 02:10:17,000
Speaker 1: them yesterday, No question they're better with Spencer Brown on

2502
02:10:17,040 --> 02:10:21,600
Speaker 1: the field. Yeah, I think their offensive line could play

2503
02:10:21,600 --> 02:10:23,840
Speaker 1: better upfront than they did yesterday. But that wasn't the

2504
02:10:23,920 --> 02:10:25,480
Speaker 1: offensive line they thought they were gonna get all the

2505
02:10:25,480 --> 02:10:27,480
Speaker 1: way up until Thursday Friday that week. I mean, how

2506
02:10:27,520 --> 02:10:28,880
Speaker 1: are you gonna how are you gonna go out there

2507
02:10:28,880 --> 02:10:30,960
Speaker 1: and play with five guys out there, three of them

2508
02:10:31,000 --> 02:10:33,400
Speaker 1: are playing different positions they played the entire season and

2509
02:10:33,480 --> 02:10:34,960
Speaker 1: they only got a chance. And I found out they

2510
02:10:34,960 --> 02:10:36,560
Speaker 1: were gonna do it thirty six hours before the game,

2511
02:10:36,600 --> 02:10:39,480
Speaker 1: forty eight hours before the game. Yeah, you're gonna look awful.

2512
02:10:40,200 --> 02:10:46,480
Speaker 1: So gosh, we only beat them by fifteen points. Yeah, okay,

2513
02:10:46,960 --> 02:10:49,720
Speaker 1: I mean, I yeah, you can say what you want,

2514
02:10:49,800 --> 02:10:52,800
Speaker 1: because the Bills went out there with an offensive line

2515
02:10:52,800 --> 02:10:55,120
Speaker 1: they didn't know they were gonna have, so and that

2516
02:10:55,440 --> 02:10:57,320
Speaker 1: there's a credit to those guys up front that they

2517
02:10:57,320 --> 02:10:59,880
Speaker 1: actually played and played well enough to score twenty three

2518
02:11:00,080 --> 02:11:02,360
Speaker 1: points and a half to win the game. So they

2519
02:11:02,480 --> 02:11:04,720
Speaker 1: got it together pretty quick. So the coaching staff doing

2520
02:11:04,800 --> 02:11:06,640
Speaker 1: something right, and they got the right guys as depth

2521
02:11:06,720 --> 02:11:09,080
Speaker 1: pieces for when guys get a back injury late in

2522
02:11:09,120 --> 02:11:12,919
Speaker 1: the week. So yeah, they didn't look their best yesterday offensively.

2523
02:11:13,000 --> 02:11:15,920
Speaker 1: And also, and I will continue to believe that it's

2524
02:11:15,920 --> 02:11:19,720
Speaker 1: because of the injuries they had, and Eric mentioned Dawson

2525
02:11:19,800 --> 02:11:23,920
Speaker 1: Knox as well. He's right that Miami defense might have

2526
02:11:24,520 --> 02:11:27,000
Speaker 1: played a few downs with a different alignment, different scheme

2527
02:11:27,080 --> 02:11:28,560
Speaker 1: if Dawson Knox is on the field, and they did

2528
02:11:28,600 --> 02:11:30,800
Speaker 1: with Tommy Sweeney. I don't know that for sure, but

2529
02:11:30,960 --> 02:11:34,160
Speaker 1: that's just one additional piece that you got to consider.

2530
02:11:34,280 --> 02:11:39,320
Speaker 1: So yeah, none of that. Yeah, they hung in there. No,

2531
02:11:39,520 --> 02:11:42,320
Speaker 1: they hung in there. They had a chance to beat

2532
02:11:42,440 --> 02:11:48,360
Speaker 1: Tennessee in their building, and the quarterbacks slipped and fell

2533
02:11:48,440 --> 02:11:51,640
Speaker 1: on a easy enough to get quarterback sneak for a

2534
02:11:51,680 --> 02:11:54,200
Speaker 1: half a yard. So if you're gonna say we got

2535
02:11:54,240 --> 02:11:57,520
Speaker 1: pushed around, okay, well they pushed us around to a

2536
02:11:57,840 --> 02:12:03,720
Speaker 1: game they escaped. Yeah, yeah, I'm yeah fine there and

2537
02:12:03,800 --> 02:12:06,040
Speaker 1: there it is fine. Break time for us. When we

2538
02:12:06,160 --> 02:12:09,480
Speaker 1: come back, we'll tell you who the Titans have tabbed

2539
02:12:09,840 --> 02:12:13,560
Speaker 1: to already replace Derrick Henry. They have found his replacement.

2540
02:12:13,600 --> 02:12:15,200
Speaker 1: Will tell you who it is next. Here on One

2541
02:12:15,240 --> 02:12:17,920
Speaker 1: Bills Live, presented by Kalida Health, It's Buffalo Bill's Radio.

2542
02:12:31,120 --> 02:12:34,000
Speaker 1: Welcome back one Bills Live. Here on A Bill's Victory Monday,

2543
02:12:34,120 --> 02:12:37,160
Speaker 1: Chris Brown Steve Tasker with you here to close it up.

2544
02:12:37,760 --> 02:12:41,080
Speaker 1: As we know, Derrick Henry suffered a foot injury that

2545
02:12:41,280 --> 02:12:45,080
Speaker 1: is going to require surgery. He is out indefinitely. Some

2546
02:12:45,360 --> 02:12:48,280
Speaker 1: believe it is potentially season ending. There are others who

2547
02:12:48,360 --> 02:12:51,280
Speaker 1: think he may have a chance to be back by

2548
02:12:51,440 --> 02:12:55,320
Speaker 1: the playoffs. But recovery for what he apparently has, which

2549
02:12:55,400 --> 02:12:59,040
Speaker 1: is a Jones fracture in his foot six to twelve weeks,

2550
02:12:59,640 --> 02:13:02,400
Speaker 1: and as we know, there are nine weeks left in

2551
02:13:02,480 --> 02:13:06,320
Speaker 1: the regular season as far as games played are concerned.

2552
02:13:06,840 --> 02:13:09,920
Speaker 1: So the Titans have gone out and signed a replacement.

2553
02:13:10,640 --> 02:13:15,440
Speaker 1: Adrian Peterson, thirty six years of age, played last year

2554
02:13:16,120 --> 02:13:20,000
Speaker 1: with the Detroit Lions. There's a pictures put out by

2555
02:13:20,040 --> 02:13:23,560
Speaker 1: Adam Schefter, I mean year ago Adrian Peterson a Lions

2556
02:13:23,640 --> 02:13:28,200
Speaker 1: uniform shaking hands with Ryan Tann. Yeah, average three point

2557
02:13:28,320 --> 02:13:31,880
Speaker 1: nine per carry last year with the Lions, seven touchdowns,

2558
02:13:32,840 --> 02:13:36,120
Speaker 1: six hundred yards on one hundred and fifty six carries,

2559
02:13:36,680 --> 02:13:39,360
Speaker 1: and you know, has not had a tremendous workload. He's

2560
02:13:39,360 --> 02:13:42,400
Speaker 1: basically going to play half a season here with Tennessee

2561
02:13:43,520 --> 02:13:44,920
Speaker 1: and we'll see where it goes. But you want to

2562
02:13:44,960 --> 02:13:48,720
Speaker 1: talk about a guy who's built similar in stature, he

2563
02:13:48,880 --> 02:13:51,000
Speaker 1: fits the bill there. I don't think he runs as

2564
02:13:51,080 --> 02:13:52,960
Speaker 1: well as Henry does now as he you know, it's
