1
00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:04,480
Speaker 1: Oh a green time of my Steve Plasper get to

2
00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:15,640
Speaker 1: the end zone touchdown, touchdown Textown Texdown, Techstown buff over time.

3
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:23,680
Speaker 1: You hear it over and over again. It's a week

4
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:26,119
Speaker 1: to weekly, and it's really true. You never know I

5
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:28,920
Speaker 1: was gonna go another chance to surprise who impressed to

6
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:33,040
Speaker 1: move forward in their quest or growth? Keep to himself.

7
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:36,280
Speaker 1: Rogers fires to the tight end clock, touchdown, Green Bay.

8
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:39,479
Speaker 1: Saron Jones second your running back off his right shoulder.

9
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 1: He'll give it to him and Aaron Jones sails into

10
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:45,440
Speaker 1: the end zone, bouncing off bodies over the left side. Touchdown,

11
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 1: Green Bay and it is thirteen to nothing green Bay.

12
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:50,199
Speaker 1: On top of the bills. Alan backed the throw. He

13
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 1: is surrounded. He has dropped sacked back just around the

14
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 1: ten yard line. He waited too long before Nick Perry

15
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 1: brought him down. Rogers play action fake Firestown fill picked

16
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 1: off in accepted by Jordan Poyer on the tip patch

17
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,319
Speaker 1: at the Buffalo forty cuts to his right and he

18
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 1: goes out of bounds at the green Bay forty eight

19
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:09,759
Speaker 1: yard line. The pass intended for Jimmy Graham went off

20
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:13,199
Speaker 1: his hands and picked off by Jordan Poyer. Now looks

21
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 1: ready there's the snap. Here comes pressure Alan and trouble

22
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 1: truck down over the right side and heaves it way

23
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:21,120
Speaker 1: down field and it is intercepted in the end zone.

24
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 1: Brought out of the end zone, cut to the twenty

25
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:25,839
Speaker 1: yard line, goes to Orkie Alexander and he has brought

26
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:29,560
Speaker 1: out the stamp. Alan looks to his lap hocks his

27
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 1: arm fires left side. Benjamin is open and he's bang

28
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 1: down to the ground and is intercepted, picked off by

29
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 1: Clinton Dicks. Benjamin is hurt down at the thirty yard line.

30
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:40,760
Speaker 1: Clinton Dicks is brought down at the thirty seven yard line,

31
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 1: said Montgomery. Out slot receiver left side. Rogers takes ball,

32
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 1: comes out as he's back to passing. The Bills may

33
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 1: have recovered the ball knocked loose by Tarron Johnson, and

34
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 1: then the big guys were down and they're trying to

35
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 1: cover up. Here we go Alan under center, first down

36
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 1: at the forty eight, sets up the throw. Here comes

37
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 1: the Blitts and they got him. They drop a Martinez

38
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 1: dropped him back at the buff Although forty three yard line.

39
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 1: A twenty two to nothing final. The Packers shut out

40
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:09,359
Speaker 1: the Bills all Green Bay, all day long. Mark Yeah,

41
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 1: it was a rough one that was yesterday, and that

42
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,520
Speaker 1: was our game rewind of yesterday's game, the twenty two

43
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 1: to nothing shutout defeat for the Buffalo Bills, their first

44
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 1: shutout in ten years. Good afternoon, everybody, John Murphy, Steve

45
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:22,800
Speaker 1: Tasher Company Alive from One Bill's Drive for three hours

46
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 1: of One Bills Live, and it's gonna be a lot

47
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 1: of talk about that game yesterday. That game rewind presented

48
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 1: by Toshiba, the official copy or company of the Buffalo Bills.

49
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 1: Good afternoon, Steve. You were not there in Green Bay yesterday.

50
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 1: You were in Foxboro. You saw I'll blow out too.

51
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 1: The home teams win both of the games that you

52
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:39,800
Speaker 1: and I were on yesterday, but for the Bills, a

53
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 1: particularly disheartening game after the big win over Minnesota the

54
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:45,360
Speaker 1: week before. Yeah, no question about it. And it comes

55
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:48,359
Speaker 1: down to we talked about this a little bit after

56
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:50,639
Speaker 1: Josh Allen was drafted. This kind of what you sign

57
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 1: up for. You're in the rookie quarterback business and until

58
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 1: you get out of that, and you're gonna have to

59
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 1: go through some pretty rough, rough games like this, I

60
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 1: mean throwing for a less in one hundred yards. I

61
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 1: mean I I crushed tyrod for doing that. As a

62
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,080
Speaker 1: six or seven year veteran, you can't be happy when

63
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 1: Josh Allen does the same thing. Couldn't get the running

64
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:12,359
Speaker 1: game going. Our Twitter poll is about the offensive side

65
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 1: of the football today because if you look at flipping around,

66
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:18,519
Speaker 1: the Bill's defense held Aaron Rodgers in that offense at

67
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 1: home to twenty two points. That's a pretty good effort.

68
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 1: Actually they got a ton of yards, no question about it.

69
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 1: But the bottom line is it's about points, and the

70
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 1: Bill's defense to me, did enough to win that game yesterday.

71
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 1: Twenty two points against Aaron Rodgers in that offense. That's

72
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 1: the bright side the problem. But the bad side of

73
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 1: it is, yeah, you got shut out. Even your defense

74
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 1: almost had a chance to break the shutout too. They

75
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 1: had to pick six and Ryan Lewis had a chance

76
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 1: for a pick that was gonna go in and he's

77
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 1: gonna walk in with it, and he dropped it. Couldn't

78
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 1: get that one in and then Josh Allen throws probably

79
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 1: I don't know, Murph, you talked to this about that

80
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:59,119
Speaker 1: that rollout pass that he heaved down the middle late

81
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 1: that was as bad. Had a rookie mistake I mean

82
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 1: that was like textbook Yeah, text book rookie. Yep. Stupid

83
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 1: throw that he made and ended up going the other

84
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 1: way and that probably took him out of and it

85
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 1: gave him they were in field goal range. Yeah, except

86
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 1: to shut out. Yeah you know that pass. And I

87
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,160
Speaker 1: said it to Kensel on the broadcast yesterday. If you

88
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 1: want to throw it away, you got lots of options,

89
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:21,839
Speaker 1: but throwing it down the middle is not the place

90
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 1: to go, right. And he was pressured. He was pressured

91
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 1: all day like a Joe break pass rush there, and

92
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:27,840
Speaker 1: there was a lot of that going on for a

93
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 1: variety of reasons. We'll talk about that. But you don't

94
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 1: float it over the middle like that. It's hard to

95
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 1: turn it loose, you know where. It's hard to say,

96
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 1: you know what, we're not gonna we're not gonna stay

97
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 1: on the field. We gotta get off the field and

98
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 1: let him kick a field goal. It's hard to do that.

99
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 1: Even I don't even know what down and I can't

100
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:43,720
Speaker 1: remember what down a distance that inter perception happened on.

101
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 1: But you just gotta, you know, you gotta say goodbye

102
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:50,040
Speaker 1: to it, throw it into the fifth row, away from

103
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 1: all the players and take take what you can and

104
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:55,920
Speaker 1: take your lumps and trying to get all that home

105
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 1: run on that throw from that angle, running that hard

106
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 1: one way, throwing it back. That's just it's a silly mistake.

107
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 1: And I think that was you know, if you're going

108
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 1: to look for a play that typifies the day for

109
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, that was it. That was a third and

110
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:11,279
Speaker 1: five from the year. So he wanted to try and

111
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 1: make something happen, trying to get back in the game.

112
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 1: I get it. Yeah, but you got a scrimmage three points.

113
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 1: I'm a scrimmage with the Green Bay twenty. You've got

114
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:20,800
Speaker 1: a field goal there. But again, just one mistake in

115
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 1: a in a litanyum mistakes for Josh Allen and the Bills.

116
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 1: And I think also this bears mentioning. And we talked

117
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 1: about a little bit last week the matchup between Josh

118
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 1: Allen and is what third NFL start and Mike Patton,

119
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:35,159
Speaker 1: the defensive coordinator for the Green Bay Packers. We know

120
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:38,279
Speaker 1: Mike Betton, he was here. He specializes in not so

121
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 1: much blitzing, not so much you know, extra men, throwing

122
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 1: extra men, but rushing you with the pass rushers from

123
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:46,720
Speaker 1: a different spot every time. If you look at all

124
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 1: seven sacks yesterday, I guarantee you and I haven't gone

125
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:51,039
Speaker 1: through the tape. I've made it through the first half

126
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,600
Speaker 1: so far, but I guarantee that all seven sacks came

127
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 1: as a result of different pressure looks from Mike Betton.

128
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 1: They weren't doing the same thing. They weren't blitzing corners

129
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 1: every time, you know, nickel corner. They weren't blitzing up

130
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:03,040
Speaker 1: the middle, double a gap blitz all the time they

131
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 1: were doing. I bet they had at least seven different

132
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 1: looks at Josh Allen. And there was more of pressure

133
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:09,920
Speaker 1: than just the sacks. Reflect more than just the seven sacks,

134
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:13,840
Speaker 1: all kinds of pressure coming from various directions, sometimes from

135
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:16,360
Speaker 1: you know, there was one time when they looped Nick Perry,

136
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 1: the linebacker around from the inside and number fifty three

137
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 1: came from the inside. He was getting a lot of

138
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:23,720
Speaker 1: different looks, and I think that's contributed to many at

139
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 1: Josh Allen's issues yesterday. He struggled. And you're right, Steve,

140
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 1: and I was thinking this last night. This is what

141
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 1: you sign up for, right if you're the Buffalo Bills,

142
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 1: you know that you're trying to break in a rookie quarterback,

143
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:37,040
Speaker 1: maybe sooner than you would hope. But Nathan peterman struggles

144
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 1: were so bad in the Baltimore game that they were

145
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:41,039
Speaker 1: forced to go to Josh Allen trying to break in

146
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 1: a rookie quarterback, trying to get him learning about what

147
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 1: it's going to take in this league. And you have

148
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 1: to sign up for days like that once in a while,

149
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:49,719
Speaker 1: and you have to coach him hard. Two things though

150
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 1: on this and you mentioned it a couple of times

151
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 1: on this show about breaking into rookie quarterback. The Peyton

152
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:57,479
Speaker 1: Manning experience from his rookie year, what were they three

153
00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:00,839
Speaker 1: and thirteen? They were awful and Peyton knowledges they ruffled,

154
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 1: But Peyton acknowledges tell the story Payton acknowledges is that

155
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 1: he got better as a result of the struggles. I

156
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,559
Speaker 1: was I was covering him in his second year, and

157
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 1: he said, listen. I I asked him the question, is

158
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 1: there any chance of you know, why would you know,

159
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 1: maybe taking you out, taking taking a break, maybe sitting

160
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 1: down through the fourth quarter when you're getting blown out,

161
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 1: white risk. He is listening. He said, I learned a

162
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 1: lot of great football in the fourth quarter of a

163
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 1: lot of bad football games. And that's that's where we're at.

164
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 1: I think on this Monday morning, you gotta have to

165
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 1: count on as a staff, coaching staff, and a fan base.

166
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:36,680
Speaker 1: You gotta count on Josh Allen going back in and

167
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 1: looking through that bad game yesterday at all the mistakes

168
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 1: and you know, when you watch this game on the

169
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 1: highlights and all the sacks, there were guys running free

170
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 1: on Josh Allen and all. And I know a lot

171
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 1: of people, particularly we'll get to the Twitter poll in

172
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 1: a moment, a lot of people are gonna say, man,

173
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 1: the offensive line was just horrible. You know some of

174
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 1: that is on Josh Allen too. Yep, he misset the

175
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 1: protections a couple of times where they got a guy,

176
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 1: they had two guys running free because he had their

177
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 1: direction the protection going the wrong way. Start talking about Petton,

178
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 1: That's what petty and it's it's easy to do when

179
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 1: a defensive coordinator wants to get that done and uh

180
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 1: and that's what the Packers did. They had free runners

181
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 1: at him a long time. And I'm not even gonna

182
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 1: put that on the offensive line because there's a lot

183
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 1: of time when you look at it, the offensive line

184
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 1: shifting slides one direction for the protection because they think

185
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 1: the Russia is coming there and it's coming from the

186
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 1: other direction. And they got a guy free running free

187
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 1: on Josh Allen. That happened in multiple times last yesterday.

188
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 1: And that's something that's on Josh Allen as much as

189
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:40,920
Speaker 1: it is the offensive line. And the other thing about

190
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 1: Josh and it's it's we saw how badly he struggled yesterday.

191
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:45,840
Speaker 1: We know where he's been in these what three and

192
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 1: a half appearances so far in the NFL. I think

193
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:51,320
Speaker 1: back to the Hall of Famer Bill Parcels and his

194
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:54,680
Speaker 1: appearance on our show after the Bills drafted Josh Allen

195
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 1: and we talked to him about his meeting pre draft

196
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 1: meeting with Josh Allen and Sam Darnold, and one of

197
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 1: the most striking things that he told us that day

198
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:05,840
Speaker 1: that he told those quarterbacks. He told us about what

199
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:08,719
Speaker 1: he told those quarterbacks was you're really tested and how

200
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 1: you bounce back from days like yesterday. And what Parcels

201
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:15,680
Speaker 1: was saying, how are you gonna be on the Monday

202
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 1: when you go into work after you're throwing foreign receptions

203
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 1: or maybe in Josh Allen's case, if you've been sacked

204
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:22,320
Speaker 1: seven times and got shut out? How are you going

205
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 1: to be in that locker room? How are you How

206
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 1: are you gonna respond to your teammates? That is the

207
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 1: true test of Josh Allen. That's what we'll see this week,

208
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:31,200
Speaker 1: I believe. Yeah, that's that's what it has to be.

209
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:34,559
Speaker 1: I mean, he's not going anywhere. He's not coming off

210
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:37,320
Speaker 1: the field unless he physically can't go. They're gonna leave

211
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:39,960
Speaker 1: him in there. And the challenge now for the coaching

212
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 1: staff is how do you get him ready to play again?

213
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:45,559
Speaker 1: How do you get him past a game that looks

214
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 1: this bad? Yeah? Uh, you got to stick your head

215
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 1: in the huddle and you gotta start helping him every

216
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 1: way you can. And that doesn't I'm just talking about

217
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 1: this coaching staff. I'm talking about the guys in the huddle.

218
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:58,679
Speaker 1: U Calvin Benjamin h yesterday. We saw it on the

219
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 1: highlights a minute ago in and Josh kind of put

220
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:04,679
Speaker 1: the ball in there where he Calvin Benjamin got decapitated

221
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:09,680
Speaker 1: and was down for whatever we say about Kelvin Benjamin.

222
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 1: And you know he's had some drops. He's not getting separation,

223
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 1: he doesn't seem to get open like other receivers. You

224
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:19,679
Speaker 1: see get Open doesn't get the separation, and yet you're

225
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 1: still gonna have to keep throwing him the football and

226
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:23,560
Speaker 1: you need him to show up in a big way

227
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 1: and be a part of the offense. You got to

228
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 1: get him back in there as well. That falls on

229
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 1: Josh Allen's shoulders as well. He's got to go to

230
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:32,839
Speaker 1: Calvin Benjamin and say, hey, I'm gonna keep trying to

231
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 1: throw you the football. You gotta keep working hard. Zay Jones,

232
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 1: who you know, for a lot of people, Za Jones

233
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 1: disappeared for three and a half quarters. He only showed

234
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 1: up when the game was decided, there were five minutes left.

235
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 1: He caught a couple of balls late. You got to

236
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 1: do more than that, as Zay Jones. Yeah, the offensive

237
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 1: line for whatever and whatever I just said about them,

238
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 1: you know, some of it not being their fault, some

239
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:55,600
Speaker 1: of it, a lot of it was their fault. They've

240
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:57,840
Speaker 1: got to do a better job of picking things up

241
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 1: when they come in. The team's to pick it up

242
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 1: around a young quarterback, he is not going to be perfect,

243
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:05,960
Speaker 1: So all the other guys on that team have to be.

244
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:08,800
Speaker 1: That's got to be their mindset. We've got to be

245
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:10,840
Speaker 1: perfect because we've got a young guy back there who's

246
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:13,319
Speaker 1: learning he's not gonna be Let's make it as easy

247
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 1: for him as we can by winning our battles and

248
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:18,320
Speaker 1: going forward. But it's tough. It's tough to come in

249
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 1: on a Monday and have to watch yourself play as

250
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 1: poorly as as Josh Allen did and put up the

251
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 1: numbers that he did, and some of the other players

252
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 1: feel the same way, no doubt about it. Well that's

253
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 1: going on right now, right film review as the players

254
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:32,959
Speaker 1: come back, a little conditioning, light conditioning work today, stretching,

255
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:36,680
Speaker 1: and now film review. After yesterday's shutout lost twenty two

256
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:38,679
Speaker 1: to nothing to the Green Bay Packers, we're here to

257

Speaker 1: to react, and we want you to react, and we

273
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 1: want you to take a look at our Twitter poll

274
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:23,840
Speaker 1: today and it deals with kind of what Steve's been

275
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 1: talking about. Look, you get shut out by the Packers yesterday,

276
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:30,680
Speaker 1: you struggle to score in the first a couple of games.

277
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 1: The Buffalo offense second to last in the NFL in

278
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:36,319
Speaker 1: terms of production right now, second to last in terms

279
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:38,960
Speaker 1: of points per game thirty first and points thirty first

280
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 1: in total yards on offense. There's a problem. Now the

281
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:43,560
Speaker 1: season's only a quarter or old. But I don't know

282
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:45,560
Speaker 1: from you what is the biggest problem you see with

283
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills offense. That is our Twitter poll. It's up,

284
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:50,680
Speaker 1: it's been up for it's been up for thirty minutes.

285
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:53,440
Speaker 1: I already have a thousand votes in what's the biggest

286
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 1: problem with the Buffalo Bills offense? So far? Almost half

287
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 1: of you forty eight percent say the limited receiving options,

288
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 1: the struggle for any playmaker at all to assert himself

289
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:05,640
Speaker 1: among the Bills receivers. That's real. Fifteen percent of you

290
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 1: say the lack of a run game. That's real as well.

291
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 1: Twelve percent of you say Josh Allen's in experience. Twenty

292
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 1: four percent have something else in mind, say other you

293
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 1: know what, and you're right, Steve right before and one

294
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 1: of the air Steve said instead of other, we should

295
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:19,080
Speaker 1: have put offensive line struggles. I anticipate that of that

296
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:21,559
Speaker 1: twenty four percent, most of them are thinking offensive line.

297
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:23,719
Speaker 1: But don't let us guess. Let us know what you think.

298
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:25,360
Speaker 1: What do you think is the biggest problem with the

299
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:28,040
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill's offense? Got phone lines open eight oh three

300
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 1: five fifty toll free one eight eight eight five fifty

301
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 1: two five fifty, or you can do it on Twitter,

302
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 1: vote on our Twitter poll, or send in a tweet

303
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:37,320
Speaker 1: and we might read it on the air. The biggest

304
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:40,080
Speaker 1: problem with the Buffalo Bill's offense with one quarter of

305
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:41,680
Speaker 1: the season complete, let us know what you think. I

306
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 1: by the way, I would vote for the lack of

307
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 1: a run game. I'd spend the bedrock that's been the

308
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 1: foundation of what the Bills have done and not tremendously

309
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:54,680
Speaker 1: successful for a few years. But they have been leaning

310
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 1: down their running game for a couple of years. They

311
00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:58,319
Speaker 1: have nothing to lean on right now. I think that's

312
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 1: a function of the offensive line. Quite because when I

313
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:03,320
Speaker 1: watched the game, he said, anyone back and looked at

314
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:06,840
Speaker 1: the video of this morning Steve Hired to find much

315
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:09,080
Speaker 1: fault at all with Lashawn McCoy or Chris Ivory. They

316
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 1: pretty much got what was there and there wasn't a

317
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:12,959
Speaker 1: whole out there. Yeah, I said, I saw the same

318
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 1: thing you did. I mean, I watched the game and

319
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 1: you could see where you know, Lashawn and Chris Ivory.

320
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 1: I didn't have any problems with their vision. I'd have

321
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 1: any problems with the way they ran the football. Once

322
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 1: they got in their hands, they got what was there

323
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:31,680
Speaker 1: and there wasn't much there. A lot of times, you know,

324
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:36,040
Speaker 1: you're looking at guys who you know rushed five times

325
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 1: a piece or six times a piece. McCoy had five rushes,

326
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 1: Ivory had six, and they rushed for a combined thirty

327
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 1: nine yards. I mean, that's just not enough. And there's

328
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:50,120
Speaker 1: just not enough room there, no question the Packers, we're

329
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 1: gonna stop the run no matter what, and forced Josh

330
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 1: Allen to throw the football. That's why you got in

331
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:57,640
Speaker 1: third and longs. There was just not much room up

332
00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:00,080
Speaker 1: inside for these running backs to go and it and

333
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 1: it forced him into third downs all too many times.

334
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:06,360
Speaker 1: They couldn't get first downs on second down, they had

335
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:09,080
Speaker 1: to go to third down. And as as as I

336
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 1: just said, third down and long, and that's just not

337
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:14,160
Speaker 1: a way to win. And for me on the with

338
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 1: the Twitter poll, uh, i'd put it on Josh. That

339
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 1: doesn't mean that I don't understand why or I think

340
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 1: it's abnormal that Josh Allen should be most of the

341
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 1: offense's problems. Um, some of the pressure was his problem.

342
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:31,240
Speaker 1: The passing game, he takes his share of the blame

343
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 1: for that. The turnovers were his, Uh, except for the

344
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 1: fumble and the fumble that's the fumble that wasn't a

345
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 1: fumble that that didn't get reversed, you know, Um, but

346
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:43,160
Speaker 1: the but the interceptions were on him. You know, those

347
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 1: things you gotta lay to him, but by the same

348
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:47,480
Speaker 1: token you say that, and it's like I understand why.

349
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:49,360
Speaker 1: You know, it's not like something that was out of

350
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:51,360
Speaker 1: the realm of possibility when you're gonna go with the

351
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:54,320
Speaker 1: rookie quarterback, no matter who it is. So as as

352
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:56,960
Speaker 1: much struggles as there are around the offense, you know,

353
00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 1: it all starts with Josh and I'm ready. I'm okay

354
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:02,760
Speaker 1: with it, right, you know, I mean I wish it

355
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:05,400
Speaker 1: was different. I mean, we all wish he was playing better.

356
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:07,880
Speaker 1: We wish he had some experience that that he would

357
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:10,200
Speaker 1: recognize some things and put his offensive line a little

358
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 1: bit better spot once in a while. Wish he'd make

359
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 1: some throws and release it. We wish he had some

360
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:17,400
Speaker 1: better options or some more open options in the passing

361
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 1: game down the field. But what they don't. But it's

362
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:21,960
Speaker 1: up to him to make the best of what he's got.

363
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 1: And sometimes that little extra hits you see and the

364
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 1: inaccurate throw to a guy that may or may not

365
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 1: be covered, you just can't do that. And certainly there's

366
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 1: guys coming through. We see it all, you know, we've

367
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:36,400
Speaker 1: been seeing the people on MSG. We're showing game film

368
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:41,440
Speaker 1: right now. Pet plays and he's missing guys that buy

369
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 1: a long shot, he's missing him, and he's trying to

370
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 1: throw it into double coverage deep. He's trying to do

371
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 1: a lot of things to fit it in, and there's

372
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:50,600
Speaker 1: there's just not much room there to do that. And

373
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:53,200
Speaker 1: so i'm I'm I think you can't. You do lay

374
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:55,600
Speaker 1: it a lot at the quarterbacks feet, But you know,

375
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 1: that's what you sign up for. He's kind of expected

376
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 1: and it's not that it's us. It's not abnormal. I

377
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 1: guess I approached the question, well, two things. What's the

378
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:06,440
Speaker 1: biggest problem with the Buffalo offense. I'm not just talking

379
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:08,600
Speaker 1: about yesterday. I'm talking about the first four games. That's

380
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 1: number one. Number two. We know, like you said, they

381
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:13,479
Speaker 1: know what they were signing enough for. They know they

382
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:16,120
Speaker 1: got a rookie quarterback who played at Wyoming. I think

383
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:18,040
Speaker 1: they know they have to do better around him. And

384
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:20,040
Speaker 1: that's why I would look. I would point to the

385
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 1: lack of a running game. We anticipated the running game

386
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:25,640
Speaker 1: would be there to help bail out this rookie quarterback.

387
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 1: It has not been. We had hoped that even with

388
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:31,520
Speaker 1: the retirements of Incognito, win would We had hoped that

389
00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 1: they had enough upfront on the offensive line to open

390
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:35,880
Speaker 1: up some holes for the run game and get things done.

391
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:38,639
Speaker 1: That has not been the case. I think we had hoped,

392
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:41,359
Speaker 1: I'm talking about most of the Bill's followers and observers

393
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:44,160
Speaker 1: had hoped that with Calvin Benjamin in particular, there would

394
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:46,960
Speaker 1: be some viable receiving options downfield. That has not been

395
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:49,240
Speaker 1: the case. They're not getting open, they're not catching the

396
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:52,679
Speaker 1: ball when it's thrown to them. I mean, I know

397
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 1: that Josh the struggle, but I think you would you

398
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:56,879
Speaker 1: would expect there'd be somewhat of a struggle for a

399
00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:59,440
Speaker 1: rookie quarterback in the first quarter of his first season

400
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:01,760
Speaker 1: in the NFL. But he's got no help around him, Steve.

401
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:03,399
Speaker 1: And that's why when I look at the biggest problem

402
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:05,840
Speaker 1: with the Buffalo offense, I look at issues other than

403
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:08,680
Speaker 1: Josh Allen. Just thinking, well, yeah, you knew that Josh

404
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:10,880
Speaker 1: Allen was a rookie and he's gonna have a break

405
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 1: in period. I think you were leaning on a couple

406
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:14,920
Speaker 1: of other things that just have not been there with

407
00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:17,119
Speaker 1: the Bill's offense through the first four games, not just

408
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:19,520
Speaker 1: necessarily yesterday. And I think here's what I saw in

409
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:23,159
Speaker 1: Josh Shallen's that game progressed certainly if he was a

410
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:26,560
Speaker 1: more experienced quarterback, particularly even more experienced with the guys

411
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:29,359
Speaker 1: that are around him. You know he's going to drop

412
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:32,959
Speaker 1: back to throw it, and he's got experienced memories and

413
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:36,760
Speaker 1: learning that he can fall back on. Yesterday, you saw

414
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 1: a guy who fell back and was hoping he was protected.

415
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:42,480
Speaker 1: He didn't know that he was protected. He thought he

416
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 1: might have had the protection set when he did or didn't,

417
00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:49,359
Speaker 1: and he didn't, and he started to know and expect

418
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:52,680
Speaker 1: pressure just about every time he dropped back to throw.

419
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:55,560
Speaker 1: That started to effect his decision making, and it started

420
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 1: to affect where his eyes were, and it started to

421
00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:01,120
Speaker 1: effect his poise in the pocket, and it just evaporated

422
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:03,040
Speaker 1: on him. And that's one of the things that happens

423
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:05,400
Speaker 1: with a young quarterback. He has so little to fall

424
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:08,720
Speaker 1: back on of success. He has so much is when

425
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 1: he when you drop back, as an experienced NFL quarterback,

426
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:15,840
Speaker 1: you drop back and even if you don't have the

427
00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:19,119
Speaker 1: protection set properly, or even if you've got a free runner,

428
00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:21,760
Speaker 1: you know where your help is. You know immediately who

429
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:24,199
Speaker 1: can win on the outside. And Josh Allen right now

430
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:26,200
Speaker 1: doesn't know either of those two things, and he doesn't

431
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:28,440
Speaker 1: even trust that it can happen on the outside. And

432
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:31,400
Speaker 1: that's when you start to get that young, young quarterback

433
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 1: panic look and the body language and and the dijitteriness

434
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:37,119
Speaker 1: in the pocket and starting to tuck the ball a

435
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:41,399
Speaker 1: little too quick at times because a he doesn't know

436
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:42,919
Speaker 1: if he's got anybody that he can throw it to.

437
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:45,439
Speaker 1: It be he may be uncertain at first that he

438
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 1: didn't get it picked up or it wasn't picked up,

439
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:49,360
Speaker 1: and he has to take a double take to see

440
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:51,320
Speaker 1: if it was if he does have a free runner,

441
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 1: and then by then it's too late. So all that

442
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 1: stuff is working against him, and he's got to get

443
00:19:57,560 --> 00:19:59,200
Speaker 1: over it. You got to fight through it. You gotta

444
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:01,200
Speaker 1: go back and stud You got to watch the game

445
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:03,359
Speaker 1: tape over and over and over. You got to go

446
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 1: over what calls you made, why you made it, and

447
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:07,920
Speaker 1: what call should have been made, and what you could

448
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:11,360
Speaker 1: have done right then in that situation to get back

449
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:13,439
Speaker 1: into a play that might have been successful. So what

450
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:15,480
Speaker 1: do you think what is the biggest problem so far

451
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:17,720
Speaker 1: this season with the Buffalo Bill's offense. You got plenty

452
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 1: to choose from, right, a lot of options. Give us

453
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:21,720
Speaker 1: a call vote on Twitter. Let us know what you think.

454
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:24,360
Speaker 1: The phone lines are open eight three fifty and toll

455
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:27,200
Speaker 1: free one eight eight five fifty two five fifty, and

456
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:30,359
Speaker 1: we'll start on the phones with Adam in Virginia. Good afternoon, Adam,

457
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:35,480
Speaker 1: what do you think? Good morning, Mercy Collis Hi. I

458
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:38,720
Speaker 1: think the biggest problem with the offense is clearly and

459
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:41,359
Speaker 1: all this is going to be pulled. But this is

460
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:46,199
Speaker 1: clearly being fault for the pathetic offense. Why is that?

461
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:50,359
Speaker 1: He said he set all up the family. Yes, you

462
00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:53,560
Speaker 1: moved up the trait. He tied it up yet, Josh.

463
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:56,560
Speaker 1: But then then where did he addrest the offense? He

464
00:20:56,560 --> 00:21:00,880
Speaker 1: addressed it in the sixth round with a glorified punta. Well,

465
00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 1: they addressed the defense. It's pretty clear when you look

466
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 1: at the draft and in free agency. Um, are you asserting,

467
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:09,920
Speaker 1: Adam that this was deliberate, set them up to fail deliberately?

468
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:12,360
Speaker 1: I don't think so. Are you saying that? I don't

469
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:15,199
Speaker 1: think it was deliberate? But no, yeah, how much how

470
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:20,520
Speaker 1: much money do we have them in year ninety and

471
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 1: I would anticipate they're going to be looking to add

472
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:24,359
Speaker 1: to the offense that year. But I think we can't.

473
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:26,639
Speaker 1: We can't about this, Adam, you can't stay have money

474
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 1: this year. No, but they had a job to do,

475
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:31,400
Speaker 1: which was built up the defense. I believe the thinking was, look,

476
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:33,800
Speaker 1: we got a rookie quarterback, we want them to succeed.

477
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:35,520
Speaker 1: We got a run game we can lean on. And

478
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:37,760
Speaker 1: if we beef up our defense, what were the twenty

479
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:40,399
Speaker 1: six defensively last year? Get better on defense, we'll be

480
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 1: able to get by with maybe a rookie quarterback and

481
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:46,000
Speaker 1: he maybe playing earlier than anyone anticipated. Set up to fail.

482
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:49,120
Speaker 1: I think it kind of indicates that they either did

483
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:51,280
Speaker 1: not want them to succeed or that they didn't think

484
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:54,040
Speaker 1: about it. Uh, they're trying, right. I mean they did

485
00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:56,119
Speaker 1: beef up the defense, no question about that, through the

486
00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:59,119
Speaker 1: draft and through free agency, knowing that they don't have

487
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 1: a lot of cap room to work with. I don't

488
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:02,280
Speaker 1: know what else they could have been done. Go ahead,

489
00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:05,120
Speaker 1: Adam where you have thought, Adam's gone, Well, here's the thing.

490
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:11,119
Speaker 1: You draft a quarterback. You talked to Baker Mayfield, Sam Darneld,

491
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:15,160
Speaker 1: Josh Allen and Josh Rosen. They're all set up to fail.

492
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:18,720
Speaker 1: They're rookies, and you can say what everyone the Bills

493
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:21,520
Speaker 1: had a chance to draft. It was a It was

494
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:25,440
Speaker 1: a bad offensive line draft to begin with. They could

495
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:28,520
Speaker 1: not anticipate losing two starters on their offensive line. And

496
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:30,840
Speaker 1: here's the thing, people, and you hear all these guys

497
00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:32,399
Speaker 1: will they should have done this, and they should have

498
00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:34,720
Speaker 1: made this move and that move. And dude, they had

499
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:36,720
Speaker 1: to get a quarterback, which they did and it took

500
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:40,639
Speaker 1: a lot to do it. Then they got a great

501
00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 1: defensive rookie whose plane has taken every snap. And here's

502
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:46,000
Speaker 1: the thing. When you get all that stuff happening to you,

503
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:48,920
Speaker 1: and you got fifty million dollars in deadcap money, you

504
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:54,679
Speaker 1: got two offensive linemen that retire, you don't get extra

505
00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:56,840
Speaker 1: draft picks because they feel sorry for you. You got

506
00:22:56,880 --> 00:23:00,440
Speaker 1: the same dead money, You got the same salary cap problems.

507
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:02,960
Speaker 1: You got the same roster holes every place else that

508
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:06,760
Speaker 1: you're trying to fill. You don't get extra assets to

509
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:10,200
Speaker 1: fill those places. You're just thinner every place. You've got

510
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:13,160
Speaker 1: more holes to fill with the same amount of assets

511
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:15,439
Speaker 1: to fill them. You's got the same draft picks, you

512
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:17,880
Speaker 1: got the same players on your roster, and you've got

513
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:23,560
Speaker 1: the same goal in mind to get one of those quarterbacks.

514
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:28,679
Speaker 1: And also to bolster your defense. You just because you

515
00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:31,280
Speaker 1: have more holes in the off season than you anticipated

516
00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:35,080
Speaker 1: going into the off season because of retirements and injury,

517
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:37,879
Speaker 1: that doesn't mean you get extra draft picks and extra money.

518
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:39,720
Speaker 1: And the league says, oh, by the way, because you

519
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:41,800
Speaker 1: have those bad breaks, you get all this other stuff

520
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:44,720
Speaker 1: so you can fix your roster. You don't. You don't.

521
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:47,320
Speaker 1: Your goal is still the same. You just have extra

522
00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:49,920
Speaker 1: holes to fill and no money and no draft picks

523
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:52,280
Speaker 1: to fill it with. No extra money and no extra

524
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:54,359
Speaker 1: draft picks to fill it with. So you can go

525
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:56,879
Speaker 1: back and rehash all that stuff if you want to

526
00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:00,119
Speaker 1: poke holes and what they've done, absolutely you can. But

527
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:02,639
Speaker 1: do you there's nothing they can do. There's fifty million

528
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:04,920
Speaker 1: dollars in cap money and they're and they've got they're

529
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:06,600
Speaker 1: getting all this stuff back next year. I mean they

530
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:10,359
Speaker 1: got they got the guys they want, and they don't

531
00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:12,919
Speaker 1: have enough guys around them, absolutely, no question about it.

532
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:15,080
Speaker 1: But they only had so much to work with. That's

533
00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:18,639
Speaker 1: the bottom line. When the Bills say, trust the process,

534
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:21,399
Speaker 1: this is what they're talking about, and and they have

535
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:23,159
Speaker 1: said the process is not going to be a one

536
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:26,280
Speaker 1: year fix. Making the playoffs last year not a fix. Um.

537
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 1: You know, they backpedaled a little bit this year to

538
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:32,920
Speaker 1: push forward next year when they have more cap money.

539
00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 1: When they say trust the process, it includes difficult periods

540
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:38,800
Speaker 1: like today, like a day after a shutout loss when

541
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:42,199
Speaker 1: the offense did absolutely nothing. If you believe in that

542
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:45,120
Speaker 1: good stick around, it's gonna get better. If you don't,

543
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:47,679
Speaker 1: I understand that, because it's difficult after a day it's

544
00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:50,120
Speaker 1: like yesterday. And that's the thing too. You remember how

545
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:52,080
Speaker 1: frustrating it was to watch this offense last year and

546
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:54,080
Speaker 1: the Tyrod Taylor's kind of the same thing this year,

547
00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:57,280
Speaker 1: except you got a kid with a bigger high end. Theoretically,

548
00:24:57,320 --> 00:25:00,640
Speaker 1: that's what we're that's what the situation is. I mean,

549
00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:03,000
Speaker 1: you had a quarterback and I crushed Tyrod last year

550
00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 1: for throwing less than one hundred yards. Josh Allen did

551
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:08,919
Speaker 1: it yesterday, and that's that's not good enough. It's just

552
00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:12,240
Speaker 1: not good enough. But Tyrod was a seven eight year

553
00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:17,600
Speaker 1: veteran who'd been a starter for three years and he

554
00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:20,240
Speaker 1: was doing it right. Hey, Um, we got a lot

555
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:22,240
Speaker 1: to talk about today, obviously a lot of rehash of

556
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:24,159
Speaker 1: yesterday's game. Want to get an idea from you what

557
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:26,840
Speaker 1: you think the biggest problem is with the Buffalo offense.

558
00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:28,639
Speaker 1: We can do that on the phones at eight oh

559
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:31,160
Speaker 1: three five fifty or two three one eight eight eight

560
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:33,359
Speaker 1: five fifty two five fifty, or you can do it

561
00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:36,320
Speaker 1: on Twitter at one Bills Live. We've got Evan Washburn

562
00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:38,399
Speaker 1: coming up, Chris Brown coming up. Red Jackson will join

563
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:40,399
Speaker 1: us later today. We did spend I did spend some

564
00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:42,480
Speaker 1: time in the Bills locker room after the game yesterday,

565
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:44,280
Speaker 1: and it's time to hear what they were seeing in

566
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:46,680
Speaker 1: the locker room. Time now for around the locker Room,

567
00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:50,480
Speaker 1: presented by Units Upstate New York Transplant Services, Save Lives,

568
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:53,880
Speaker 1: Joined Team Units, donate blood, Visit Units dot org. Here

569
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:58,040
Speaker 1: we go around the locker room. Head coach Sean McDermott,

570
00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:00,480
Speaker 1: the Bills have to start winning one on one battles,

571
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:03,200
Speaker 1: not offense. We've got to let's make sure we established

572
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:05,159
Speaker 1: a line of scrimmage and that and that sets up

573
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:07,960
Speaker 1: the running game, that sets up the past game, whether

574
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:10,600
Speaker 1: it's play action or whatnot. But you've got to make

575
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:13,240
Speaker 1: sure that um, you're winning your one on one whatever

576
00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:16,679
Speaker 1: that is, whether it's your whether upfront or outside, UM

577
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:20,200
Speaker 1: that we're winning those one on one quarterback Josh Allen

578
00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:24,040
Speaker 1: on buffle, those struggles on offense, and we came out

579
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:26,160
Speaker 1: a half time only down two scores were leaving down

580
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:29,520
Speaker 1: sixteen points. Um, you know, it wasn't a good first half.

581
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:31,440
Speaker 1: So to be down sixteen points in the second half,

582
00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:34,520
Speaker 1: you know that gave us gave us hope. Um, you know,

583
00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:37,280
Speaker 1: but we didn't capitalize on you know, opportunities that we had.

584
00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:40,000
Speaker 1: You know, And like I said, our defense played fantastic. Um,

585
00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:42,800
Speaker 1: you know, but we gotta be bad on the offensive

586
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:45,399
Speaker 1: side of the ball. Running back with Sean McCloy, the

587
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:48,920
Speaker 1: Bill is still looking for an effective run game. It

588
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:52,000
Speaker 1: was the game went man. We were down, I guess,

589
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:55,879
Speaker 1: so trying to throw the ball, I'm not sure. I

590
00:26:55,920 --> 00:27:00,320
Speaker 1: can't answer that. Um, I know what I know playing

591
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:04,520
Speaker 1: was giving me the ball. You know, we'll figure it out,

592
00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:07,600
Speaker 1: we'll get it together. But twenty one touches total in

593
00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:10,160
Speaker 1: three games. That's not a number that I'm sure you're

594
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:14,360
Speaker 1: used to. Nah, No, not at all. But I mean,

595
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:19,520
Speaker 1: I can't think. I can't worry about that. I don't

596
00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:23,000
Speaker 1: got to do with control dot control make plays. There's

597
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:24,760
Speaker 1: plays I'm not making. But I am getting the ball,

598
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:27,600
Speaker 1: you know, so, um, I just gotta focus on that

599
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:31,840
Speaker 1: wide receivers Jay Jones. There's no lack of competence even

600
00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:34,440
Speaker 1: after the laws. I don't think it hurts the confidence.

601
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:38,320
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think this this team flinches from

602
00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:43,159
Speaker 1: losing a ball game or resilient. Resilient group. We strive together,

603
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:46,080
Speaker 1: you know, we win together, we lose together, So then

604
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:48,600
Speaker 1: the confidence is still high. I still have faith in

605
00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:52,080
Speaker 1: every single person on this team, So I'm not not

606
00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:55,919
Speaker 1: waivered by it. Lightback, You're criminating advent. I'm learning and

607
00:27:56,000 --> 00:28:00,200
Speaker 1: getting better. Yeah, I feel like that just just and

608
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:02,879
Speaker 1: more one knowledge about the game each week, saying some

609
00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:05,359
Speaker 1: different things and just taking it in. Uh. You know,

610
00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:07,920
Speaker 1: clianetside game and uh, I think I think we're moving

611
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:11,600
Speaker 1: forward eating every week. Defensive tackle Kyle Williams, what's the

612
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:14,640
Speaker 1: identity of the Buffalo Bills. Through four games? We've played

613
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:18,359
Speaker 1: some tough teams, you know, with some veteran, good playing quarterbacks.

614
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:22,480
Speaker 1: Obviously we had our ups and down. So I think

615
00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:26,600
Speaker 1: if we can continue to be in the locker room,

616
00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:29,080
Speaker 1: you know, promoting growth and saying hey we're going to

617
00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:32,280
Speaker 1: continue to build, We're gonna keep working, you know, and

618
00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:35,080
Speaker 1: just da day by day and then you know, at

619
00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:36,280
Speaker 1: the end of the year, then we look up and

620
00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:38,440
Speaker 1: we see who are But you know, you can't you

621
00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:40,400
Speaker 1: can't win the Super Bowl day, you can't win thirteen

622
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:42,800
Speaker 1: games today. Uh. You know, we really have to focus

623
00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:44,320
Speaker 1: on each day. Like I said earlier, you know, it

624
00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:47,080
Speaker 1: comes down to preparation and things like that. Uh. And

625
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:50,280
Speaker 1: that's pivotal for our football team. Cornerback Terren Johnson on

626
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:53,200
Speaker 1: the impact that he and other rookies like Dremaine Edmonds

627
00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:56,360
Speaker 1: are making that defense. We're just just trying to get

628
00:28:56,400 --> 00:29:00,880
Speaker 1: better day by day. And I know he doesn't consider

629
00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:02,800
Speaker 1: heself a rookie anymore, you know what I'm saying, He's

630
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:06,320
Speaker 1: trying to step up and be a major guy in this.

631
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:11,120
Speaker 1: In his defense and Soliman there go around the locker

632
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:14,280
Speaker 1: room presented by Unit's Upstate New York Transplating Services. A

633
00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:17,920
Speaker 1: couple of things there, Steve Sean McDermott says, um. And

634
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:20,280
Speaker 1: you know people say Sean doesn't say anything. Why you know,

635
00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:22,680
Speaker 1: at these news conferences, he said something there when he

636
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:25,720
Speaker 1: said we gotta win battles both up front and on

637
00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:30,320
Speaker 1: the outside. Basically, he's in a mild way, calling out

638
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:32,760
Speaker 1: his offensive line and his receivers. They got to win

639
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:35,280
Speaker 1: one on one battle. Sean essentially said that yesterday, right

640
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:37,440
Speaker 1: he told us where he thinks the problems are on

641
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:39,960
Speaker 1: offense right there, it's not it. You know, it's out

642
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:42,560
Speaker 1: there for everybody to see, right. I mean, that's there's

643
00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:46,040
Speaker 1: no doubt about it. And you know, let's not forget too.

644
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:48,520
Speaker 1: They did make an effort to help out in the

645
00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 1: interior by replacing Eric Wood with Russell Bodine. And russ

646
00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:55,360
Speaker 1: Bodin came in from the Cincinnati Bengals had started sixty

647
00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:58,280
Speaker 1: straight games, a team that had gone to the playoffs

648
00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:00,560
Speaker 1: I think three of those four years, and he had

649
00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:03,120
Speaker 1: fallen off in his fourth year there because their offensive

650
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:06,360
Speaker 1: line got decimated by two free agent signings. UM, and

651
00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:08,840
Speaker 1: they lost two of their starting players Whitworth is now

652
00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:12,160
Speaker 1: with the Rams and and another guard and the guard

653
00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:15,840
Speaker 1: was gone as well, so uh bodies and that offensive

654
00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:17,920
Speaker 1: line of Cincinnati fell off in his fourth year in

655
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:21,640
Speaker 1: Cincinnati because they got decimated. Russ Bodin became a free

656
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:25,640
Speaker 1: agency Bills got him, uh and he's an experienced, savvy

657
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:28,960
Speaker 1: center and um, i'd like to I'd like to hear

658
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:31,160
Speaker 1: what he has to say about what happened yesterday. I'm

659
00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:33,280
Speaker 1: gonna see if I can find somebody to talk to

660
00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:35,600
Speaker 1: him about. I talked to him. Yeah we got sound

661
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:39,360
Speaker 1: around here. Yeah, yeah we should because he was a

662
00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:41,440
Speaker 1: guy who when they signed the Bills signed him, I

663
00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:43,920
Speaker 1: was I was pretty stoked because he is a center

664
00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:48,600
Speaker 1: that is has a reputation for being a solid, every down,

665
00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:53,320
Speaker 1: all day, every game available center who is in the

666
00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:56,040
Speaker 1: middle making calls. I'd like to know, you know about

667
00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:58,480
Speaker 1: the protection problems they had yesterday, because it seemed to

668
00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:01,080
Speaker 1: me he has some of them were one on one battles.

669
00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:03,800
Speaker 1: A lot of them seemed listen when you like on

670
00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:06,080
Speaker 1: that interception down in the red zone, the Josh outen

671
00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:08,880
Speaker 1: through when we scrolled rolled out and through that silly

672
00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:11,320
Speaker 1: pass have silly rookie pass over the middle. They had

673
00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:15,920
Speaker 1: two free runners coming two and that's just a miscommunication

674
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:20,920
Speaker 1: and a gotcha. Either the defensive coordinator completely fooled everybody

675
00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:23,920
Speaker 1: or somebody they just had the wrong protection call, and

676
00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:25,720
Speaker 1: that happened a couple of times, and that just doesn't

677
00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:29,720
Speaker 1: happen when you've got a chance to if you know

678
00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:31,920
Speaker 1: who's gonna rush, and there's no question there are a

679
00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:34,880
Speaker 1: bunch of times where they just got completely fooled by

680
00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:37,160
Speaker 1: that defensive front. One more point that comes out of

681
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:39,840
Speaker 1: that locker room sound I think was Kyle Williams when

682
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:42,200
Speaker 1: he and leave it to Kyle, right, he always does this,

683
00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:44,960
Speaker 1: puts things in perspective. It was a brutal loss yesterday.

684
00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:48,880
Speaker 1: They've had three brutal losses. In fact, as a broadcaster,

685
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:50,640
Speaker 1: you can appreciate this. I get back to my point

686
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:53,360
Speaker 1: in a second. All four of the Bills games have

687
00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:56,560
Speaker 1: been essentially over and halftime so far. Yeah, you know

688
00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:58,640
Speaker 1: you're up there. You've done it. You're a broadcast. One

689
00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:01,240
Speaker 1: in their favor and the two three. Yeah, it drives

690
00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:03,000
Speaker 1: you crazy. Now what are we going to talk about? Right?

691
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:05,400
Speaker 1: But aside from that, that's just my problem. Kyle put

692
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:07,080
Speaker 1: it in perspective though, he said, Look, we played some

693
00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:09,880
Speaker 1: tough teams. He's right. He said, we played against some good,

694
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:12,880
Speaker 1: experienced quarterbacks. He's right. They faced Philip Rivers, they faced

695
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:15,520
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. Lost to those two. Depending on what you think,

696
00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:18,440
Speaker 1: are Kirk Cousins and Joe Flacco. Those are pretty decent quarterbacks.

697
00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:21,320
Speaker 1: But the first four opponents were the Bills one lost

698
00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:24,520
Speaker 1: record so far this year five seventy four. All right,

699
00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:27,880
Speaker 1: not great, but they're winning the next twelve opponents for

700
00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:31,600
Speaker 1: the Bills the remaining schedule. The remaining opponents on the

701
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:34,240
Speaker 1: Bill schedule are even five hundred. They've won as many

702
00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:36,720
Speaker 1: as they've lost. Now, look, it's a week to weekly.

703
00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:38,560
Speaker 1: We say that all the time. I say it all

704
00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:40,760
Speaker 1: the time, And what the Tennessee Titans looked like now

705
00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:43,120
Speaker 1: with a three game win streak might be different looking

706
00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:44,800
Speaker 1: by the time they get up here on Sunday, But

707
00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:48,760
Speaker 1: you would have I think it's extremely arguable. I think

708
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:52,960
Speaker 1: it's really probably not. I'm not saying it's inarguable, but

709
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:55,440
Speaker 1: I do think the Bills have faced the toughest stretch

710
00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:57,160
Speaker 1: of the schedule. Right They played three and four on

711
00:32:57,200 --> 00:32:59,720
Speaker 1: the road, and the remaining games, they've got seven of

712
00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:02,360
Speaker 1: the meaning twelve games at home. So the home games

713
00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:04,640
Speaker 1: are coming and at a little bit of a break

714
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:06,640
Speaker 1: in the schedule is coming. I think you could argue

715
00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:08,920
Speaker 1: that they've faced the toughest part of the schedule so far. Yeah.

716
00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:10,880
Speaker 1: So people are starting to chime in on our Twitter

717
00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:14,560
Speaker 1: poll about what's going on with the Bill's offense. From

718
00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:17,600
Speaker 1: Brian Greer. The O line was horrible. Josh was running

719
00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:20,200
Speaker 1: for his life all game. Josh made his share of mistakes,

720
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:22,840
Speaker 1: but what do you expect from a rookie with no time.

721
00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:25,240
Speaker 1: Some of that's true, I don't think it happened on

722
00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:27,720
Speaker 1: every play, and there was times when I thought Josh

723
00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:31,040
Speaker 1: stepped up in and through it, But no doubt about

724
00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:36,280
Speaker 1: it either. I think Josh's mental skittishness and his you know,

725
00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:38,959
Speaker 1: his expectation for not having a lot of time as

726
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:41,640
Speaker 1: affecting his accuracy as well. He wasn't as accurate this

727
00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:43,560
Speaker 1: week because I've seen him most of the time when

728
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:45,800
Speaker 1: I've watched him, if not all the time, I thought

729
00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:49,880
Speaker 1: he was his most inaccurate outing that I can remember,

730
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:51,719
Speaker 1: even in the preseason. I thought he was much more

731
00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:53,680
Speaker 1: accurate in the preseason, in the first two or three

732
00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:56,160
Speaker 1: games that he played here this season in the regular

733
00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:58,280
Speaker 1: season than he was yesterday. And I think that was

734
00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:01,880
Speaker 1: a function of thinking he was going to get hit

735
00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:05,080
Speaker 1: every time or having to break contain and run. Also

736
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:07,360
Speaker 1: from the tweet sheet Brian Cook, I didn't see any

737
00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:10,400
Speaker 1: of the great creativity or imagination in the offense that

738
00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:12,759
Speaker 1: we saw in Minnesota. Some of that might have been

739
00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:15,040
Speaker 1: due to all the three and outs and taking us

740
00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:17,600
Speaker 1: out of rhythm, but the entire offense seemed very vanilla,

741
00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:19,200
Speaker 1: and compared to last week, we're getting a lot of

742
00:34:19,239 --> 00:34:23,279
Speaker 1: that vanilla What is that look? If you can't block

743
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:25,880
Speaker 1: and you can't run, and you can't pass protect and

744
00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:28,960
Speaker 1: your receivers aren't getting open, it doesn't matter what you're calling.

745
00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:31,360
Speaker 1: It really doesn't matter what pleas you're calling. I believe

746
00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:34,399
Speaker 1: that they by the way, looking at the first half

747
00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:37,320
Speaker 1: on video, they showed a lot of different offensive formations.

748
00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:39,160
Speaker 1: The Bills did kind of like the way they did

749
00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:42,640
Speaker 1: in Minnesota, obviously to much different level of success. They

750
00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:45,520
Speaker 1: were not successful, But I disagree with that. And he's

751
00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:47,960
Speaker 1: right about the three and outs, seven to twelve possessions

752
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:49,640
Speaker 1: yesterday three and out. We talked about that, and I

753
00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:51,279
Speaker 1: think last week, I think one of the things I

754
00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:53,839
Speaker 1: noticed too was they didn't get off to a fast start.

755
00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 1: But one of the things happened after on the second

756
00:34:56,560 --> 00:34:59,440
Speaker 1: possession of the game, when Green Bay went down and

757
00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:02,399
Speaker 1: scored their first touchdown and then missed the extra point,

758
00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:05,040
Speaker 1: the Bills put together a nice little drive. They got

759
00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:08,160
Speaker 1: in over into a packard terry Ary. Then they couldn't

760
00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:12,520
Speaker 1: they couldn't convert. Remember on the third and two, they

761
00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:15,360
Speaker 1: couldn't convert on that first that run up the middle,

762
00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:17,000
Speaker 1: and a lot of people say that it was vanilla.

763
00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:19,719
Speaker 1: Well listen, you know that's you should be able to

764
00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:22,520
Speaker 1: convert that, and they couldn't get it done, and then

765
00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:23,920
Speaker 1: they had to punt it away and then the game

766
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:25,480
Speaker 1: started to get out. But I think if they, you know,

767
00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:29,239
Speaker 1: putting together a first down there really would have gone

768
00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:30,920
Speaker 1: a long way. You'd love to see that happen. I

769
00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:32,360
Speaker 1: know it's just one drive and it was early in

770
00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:33,799
Speaker 1: the game, but I think getting off to a fast

771
00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:36,120
Speaker 1: start and coming back and putting together really what I

772
00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:39,080
Speaker 1: thought was certainly their best drive in the first half,

773
00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:44,360
Speaker 1: coming back and you know, getting a couple of first downs,

774
00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:47,640
Speaker 1: putting them together in right after green Bay score that

775
00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:50,120
Speaker 1: first touchdown to go up six to nothing, they had

776
00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:52,719
Speaker 1: a chance there to have some positive things happen and

777
00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:54,960
Speaker 1: maybe have its snowball and then maybe put the defense

778
00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:56,640
Speaker 1: on its heels a little bit, and they couldn't get

779
00:35:56,640 --> 00:35:58,879
Speaker 1: it done, and that was one of the more disappointing

780
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:02,080
Speaker 1: drive stalls of the day. There are a lot of them.

781
00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:03,680
Speaker 1: There was a ton of them. There's a lot of them.

782
00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:05,440
Speaker 1: But I thought, you know, early on that game, they

783
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:07,279
Speaker 1: had a chance to answer and they were answering it.

784
00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:09,120
Speaker 1: They were getting some stuff going and they just couldn't

785
00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:10,880
Speaker 1: put it together. We got a lot more to talk about,

786
00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:13,160
Speaker 1: more tweets to read from the tweet sheet, more phone

787

803
00:36:58,239 --> 00:37:00,759
Speaker 1: From One Bills Drive and this is Buffalo Bills Radio.

804
00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:17,960
Speaker 1: It is a Monday. From One Bill's Drive, John Murphy,

805
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:20,279
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker, right next door to New Airfield. It is

806
00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:23,360
Speaker 1: a cloudy, little bit rainy Monday. The weather seems to

807
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:26,080
Speaker 1: match the disposition of both most Bills fans today, Steve

808
00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:30,880
Speaker 1: and again, the weather is kind of reflects what people

809
00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:32,759
Speaker 1: are feeling. It's one of those days. It's a great day.

810
00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:35,319
Speaker 1: It's a great day where you know, and it's it's

811
00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:37,719
Speaker 1: like buff Yeah, it's like us here in Buffalo and

812
00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:40,200
Speaker 1: the winners. Man, do you get through it? We'll get

813
00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:43,200
Speaker 1: through this, get through it. Yeah, I don't know from you.

814
00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:45,000
Speaker 1: How can the Bills offense get through this? And what

815
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:46,680
Speaker 1: do you see is the biggest problems for the Buffalo

816
00:37:46,719 --> 00:37:49,120
Speaker 1: offense for the first four weeks. Got phone lines open,

817
00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:51,600
Speaker 1: got the tweet sheet open. Let's take another call, John

818
00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:53,640
Speaker 1: calling from North Collins. Hello, John, you're on the air

819
00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:59,200
Speaker 1: with us. Hey, morning guys, afternoon excuse me? Yeah, yeah,

820
00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:03,480
Speaker 1: have question for yeah. Um, Now we we know the

821
00:38:03,719 --> 00:38:06,200
Speaker 1: offensive line is going to struggle. There's no doubt about that,

822
00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:11,200
Speaker 1: but we definitely have the worst receiving corps. I believe

823
00:38:11,239 --> 00:38:15,120
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Okay, they cannot get open man and man,

824
00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:18,040
Speaker 1: which can be tough, but even when they put a

825
00:38:18,120 --> 00:38:21,879
Speaker 1: zone against them, they do not know how to get

826
00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:24,360
Speaker 1: in that open area and sit down and wait for

827
00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:27,960
Speaker 1: the ball. Now, I believe we needed new receiving coaches

828
00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:31,120
Speaker 1: because this has been going on probably for four or

829
00:38:31,120 --> 00:38:33,359
Speaker 1: five years. Let me just stop your second, John. They

830
00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:35,319
Speaker 1: do have a new receiving coach this year, so he's

831
00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:37,600
Speaker 1: coached for four games and that and while in the

832
00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:39,600
Speaker 1: last couple of years they've had a different one that

833
00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:42,600
Speaker 1: it's been different guys. It has been one guy for

834
00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:44,560
Speaker 1: any of these years. I mean it's been they've switched

835
00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:48,600
Speaker 1: it out. It's it's different than it was last year,

836
00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:50,399
Speaker 1: and it's a different guy than it was two years ago.

837
00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:53,560
Speaker 1: So it's you can say what you want. I mean,

838
00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:56,080
Speaker 1: three different receiving coaches in three years. But maybe that's

839
00:38:56,120 --> 00:38:59,120
Speaker 1: a problem. It could be Yes, John, go ahead, John,

840
00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:03,240
Speaker 1: what else? Yeah, that's I realized it sucked. But these guys.

841
00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:06,560
Speaker 1: I can remember about twenty five years ago Jim Kelly

842
00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:11,040
Speaker 1: mentioning a guy named Steve Tasker stated that he probably

843
00:39:11,120 --> 00:39:15,960
Speaker 1: ran the best routes that any receiver ever threw to. Now,

844
00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:20,000
Speaker 1: for some reason, it seems like they should be able

845
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:22,399
Speaker 1: to when they watch it on film. When you've got

846
00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:26,839
Speaker 1: five receivers out, man and man, they're they're covered. That's

847
00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:29,480
Speaker 1: a scary thought right there. Then you see the zone

848
00:39:30,239 --> 00:39:35,080
Speaker 1: and I repeating myself, but they cannot find the open spots.

849
00:39:35,760 --> 00:39:38,840
Speaker 1: And that's I think part of the education that a

850
00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:44,000
Speaker 1: good wide receiver coach could definitely Steve you played position.

851
00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:46,320
Speaker 1: How do you get to open? By the way, Steve

852
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:50,200
Speaker 1: Tasker is not available? I don't know why you brought

853
00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:52,279
Speaker 1: up Jim. They don't even know where Steve Tasker is.

854
00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:55,279
Speaker 1: Where is he? What happened? He fell off the face?

855
00:39:56,160 --> 00:40:00,200
Speaker 1: He's terrible. How do you get open? You're right, and

856
00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:03,400
Speaker 1: it does take some ability to take some understanding of defenses,

857
00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:08,640
Speaker 1: and yeah, they just haven't. And listen, the windows are

858
00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:11,040
Speaker 1: always small in the NFL. It's not easy to get

859
00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:14,160
Speaker 1: open in the NFL. I get that. And it seems

860
00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:16,480
Speaker 1: like the only time when this receivers start to get

861
00:40:16,520 --> 00:40:18,960
Speaker 1: open is when the defense steps back and says, okay,

862
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:21,280
Speaker 1: this game's over. The last five minutes of the game yesterday,

863
00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:24,239
Speaker 1: Josh Allen started throwing it around and all of a sudden,

864
00:40:24,320 --> 00:40:27,360
Speaker 1: Za Jones shows up, So you gotta do it when

865
00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:32,359
Speaker 1: the chips are down and they haven't. Josh Allen has

866
00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:34,520
Speaker 1: tried to force it to Kelvin Benjamin on a number

867
00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:37,879
Speaker 1: of occasions, and sometimes it was sometimes it's been a drop. Yeah,

868
00:40:37,920 --> 00:40:40,840
Speaker 1: sometimes he's been open on those hitch routs, he catches

869
00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:44,439
Speaker 1: it and gets the first down. But you rarely see

870
00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:47,399
Speaker 1: Kelvin Benjamin catching the ball in stride moving because he's

871
00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:50,800
Speaker 1: a big target, but he's not fast, and the trend

872
00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:53,720
Speaker 1: in the NFL, if you didn't notice his speed speed speed,

873
00:40:53,719 --> 00:40:56,000
Speaker 1: That's why Za Jones was out there, That's why Robert

874
00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:59,239
Speaker 1: Foster has been They've been trying to work him in

875
00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:02,640
Speaker 1: and weeks up prior to this, So you know, there's

876
00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:04,480
Speaker 1: a lot going on to the receiving corps. I don't

877
00:41:04,520 --> 00:41:06,960
Speaker 1: know claim to have all the answers, but there's absolutely

878
00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:10,200
Speaker 1: no doubt everybody sees the same thing. And I'm sure

879
00:41:10,239 --> 00:41:12,600
Speaker 1: Sean mcdermot's gonna have to answer those questions again this week.

880
00:41:12,600 --> 00:41:14,080
Speaker 1: You're gonna take a break when we come back, We're

881
00:41:14,120 --> 00:41:17,000

882
00:41:17,040 --> 00:41:19,799
Speaker 1: a front row seat, sideline perch for the Dolphins and

883
00:41:19,880 --> 00:41:21,959
Speaker 1: the Patriots. He wants to talk about that. We're gonna

884
00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:23,320
Speaker 1: get him to talk about that, what he saw and

885
00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:25,759
Speaker 1: what he heard yesterday in Foxborough. Come on back, One

886
00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:28,720
Speaker 1: Bill's Live, presented by Kalaida Health from One Bills Driving.

887
00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:44,719
Speaker 1: This is Buffalo Bills Radio. Welcome back. It's One Bill's Live.

888
00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:47,080
Speaker 1: Genre If he Seeve Tasker here at One Bills Drive

889
00:41:47,200 --> 00:41:50,800
Speaker 1: talking about the Bills loss, the shutout loss yesterday in

890
00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:54,120
Speaker 1: Green Bay, Steve working for the NFL on CBS sideline

891
00:41:54,160 --> 00:41:57,399
Speaker 1: reporter for the Patriots thirty eight to seven blowout over

892
00:41:57,440 --> 00:41:59,759
Speaker 1: the Miami Dolphins. We're gonna talk just a little bit

893
00:41:59,760 --> 00:42:03,759
Speaker 1: about that's Steve. Look, I guess I was wondering if

894
00:42:03,760 --> 00:42:06,120
Speaker 1: the Patriots defense was as bad as they had looked

895
00:42:06,120 --> 00:42:08,440
Speaker 1: through the first three games. It sounds like they came

896
00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:12,640
Speaker 1: alive yesterday against the Dolphins. So yeah, all the way

897
00:42:12,640 --> 00:42:16,520
Speaker 1: you says rumors about the New England Patriots being done

898
00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:20,279
Speaker 1: are greatly exaggerated. They beat the Dolphins thirty eight to seven.

899
00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:23,000
Speaker 1: They were up thirty one to nothing all the way

900
00:42:23,040 --> 00:42:25,960
Speaker 1: through the third quarter and most of the fourth. They

901
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:28,640
Speaker 1: absolutely took him to the woodshed. And it started from

902
00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:31,279
Speaker 1: the from right from the beginning. Their defense was all

903
00:42:31,280 --> 00:42:34,440
Speaker 1: over Miami. Miami has had some really good success offensively.

904
00:42:34,440 --> 00:42:37,719
Speaker 1: They've got a lot of fast, small guys. Tannehill was

905
00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:41,280
Speaker 1: playing extremely well and they had no no chance against

906
00:42:41,320 --> 00:42:43,520
Speaker 1: the Patriots. Ter a couple of guys on the Patriots

907
00:42:43,560 --> 00:42:46,600
Speaker 1: offense want to ask you about your impressions. Josh Gordon played,

908
00:42:46,760 --> 00:42:48,799
Speaker 1: What do you look like? He looked like a big,

909
00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:51,279
Speaker 1: strong athlete. They sprinkled him in for a handful of

910
00:42:51,360 --> 00:42:54,000
Speaker 1: maybe two handfuls of snaps, maybe ten snaps altogether. They

911
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:56,080
Speaker 1: threw the football to him a couple of times, and

912
00:42:56,800 --> 00:42:59,920
Speaker 1: he showed some ability. Yeah, he shook off a shot

913
00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:04,200
Speaker 1: the tackler, made some extra yardage, caught a hard, hard

914
00:43:04,239 --> 00:43:07,320
Speaker 1: square in and accepted that got the catch and the touchdown,

915
00:43:07,600 --> 00:43:09,279
Speaker 1: or not the touchdown. He caught the catch and the

916
00:43:09,320 --> 00:43:13,319
Speaker 1: contact held onto the football. Every time they targeted him

917
00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:16,919
Speaker 1: it resulted in a reception. He looked good, he looked

918
00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:21,759
Speaker 1: like he belonged, and it looked to me like they're

919
00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:25,040
Speaker 1: gonna find a place for Gordon going forward. And Gronk

920
00:43:25,080 --> 00:43:27,759
Speaker 1: got hurt. Is it serious? Gronk came up, he was

921
00:43:27,760 --> 00:43:30,560
Speaker 1: struggling with an ankle coming into the game and came

922
00:43:30,600 --> 00:43:33,760
Speaker 1: off the field late in the game, maybe its midway

923
00:43:33,760 --> 00:43:35,640
Speaker 1: through the fourth quarter or second half of the fourth

924
00:43:35,719 --> 00:43:38,279
Speaker 1: quarter even and they were working on his looked like

925
00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:41,839
Speaker 1: his calf on the sideline. They had the massage bar

926
00:43:41,840 --> 00:43:44,080
Speaker 1: out running that bar up and down his calf trying

927
00:43:44,120 --> 00:43:46,560
Speaker 1: to get it loosened up. They took him to the

928
00:43:46,600 --> 00:43:48,759
Speaker 1: locker room and he never returned. So Gronk is a

929
00:43:48,840 --> 00:43:51,320
Speaker 1: question mark going into this week for the Dolphins. Tannehill

930
00:43:51,360 --> 00:43:53,680
Speaker 1: throws for one hundred yards again only one hundred seventy

931
00:43:53,680 --> 00:43:55,960
Speaker 1: two yards of offense. I told you the Dolphins were

932
00:43:56,000 --> 00:43:58,720
Speaker 1: a phony three and oh right, Well they weren't phony,

933
00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:00,800
Speaker 1: but they just weren't convinced sing I mean three and

934
00:44:00,880 --> 00:44:02,920
Speaker 1: o's three and oz. When you play the Raiders, the

935
00:44:02,960 --> 00:44:07,319
Speaker 1: Titans and the Jets, so they get you get. It's

936
00:44:07,320 --> 00:44:09,680
Speaker 1: a week toweek league, Murph. You're the one who says it,

937
00:44:09,920 --> 00:44:13,320
Speaker 1: and it was true yesterday. Yeah, and you know, Steven's

938
00:44:13,360 --> 00:44:14,880
Speaker 1: on the sidelines for these games, and it gets a

939
00:44:14,960 --> 00:44:17,680
Speaker 1: chance to see and hear some interesting stuff. Sideline sounds

940
00:44:17,719 --> 00:44:20,040
Speaker 1: presented by Bows, the official headphones of the Buffalo Bills.

941
00:44:20,040 --> 00:44:22,759
Speaker 1: You know, I wear those noise canceling Bows headphones on

942
00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:25,200
Speaker 1: the sidelines because it really can't hear myself. Think if

943
00:44:25,200 --> 00:44:26,839
Speaker 1: I do, I can't hear the broadcast. So I put

944
00:44:27,040 --> 00:44:29,400
Speaker 1: over my earpieces and I wear these Bows things. And

945
00:44:29,440 --> 00:44:32,919
Speaker 1: one of the things I heard yesterday the fourth and two,

946
00:44:33,080 --> 00:44:35,879
Speaker 1: eight thirteen left in the second quarter. New England's lead

947
00:44:35,960 --> 00:44:37,920
Speaker 1: Miami ten to nothing. It's fourth and two and it's

948
00:44:37,920 --> 00:44:41,960
Speaker 1: out towards midfield, actually maybe past midfield, towards the Miami end.

949
00:44:43,280 --> 00:44:46,719
Speaker 1: The New England, you know, they get to a fourth

950
00:44:46,760 --> 00:44:48,480
Speaker 1: and two, they're gonna punt out. They start to run off.

951
00:44:48,520 --> 00:44:50,920
Speaker 1: Then Tom Brady the offense, they make some sort of call.

952
00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:53,400
Speaker 1: They run back on, they start to line up. The

953
00:44:53,680 --> 00:44:56,799
Speaker 1: Jet defense gets back lined up. Then they start to

954
00:44:56,880 --> 00:44:58,960
Speaker 1: run off again, the Miami offense, and they start to

955
00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:02,680
Speaker 1: try and get on quick pu that the Dolphins get

956
00:45:02,680 --> 00:45:05,280
Speaker 1: caught undawares. They got like eight guys on the field,

957
00:45:05,840 --> 00:45:07,440
Speaker 1: and then in the midst of all of that, they

958
00:45:07,440 --> 00:45:09,200
Speaker 1: looked like they're gonna try and snap it. Do the

959
00:45:09,239 --> 00:45:13,800
Speaker 1: Patriots and Bobby McCain, the cornerback for the Dolphins, lays

960
00:45:13,880 --> 00:45:18,680
Speaker 1: down like he's hurt. Had all the earmarks of fake.

961
00:45:19,120 --> 00:45:22,520
Speaker 1: You know, he's not gonna it's a fake. They need

962
00:45:22,520 --> 00:45:24,960
Speaker 1: to get the right people on the field. It ended

963
00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:28,759
Speaker 1: up being a fourth and about three and the Patriots

964
00:45:29,120 --> 00:45:31,399
Speaker 1: run out. They kind of run their pet punt team

965
00:45:31,440 --> 00:45:34,279
Speaker 1: onto the field hard. Then they run their offense back

966
00:45:34,320 --> 00:45:39,920
Speaker 1: onto the field and catch the catch the Miami Dolphins unawares,

967
00:45:39,960 --> 00:45:42,160
Speaker 1: and you know, people watching MSG up at the top

968
00:45:42,160 --> 00:45:45,560
Speaker 1: of the fifty. Bobby McCain just sits down. He sits down,

969
00:45:45,680 --> 00:45:50,040
Speaker 1: and Bill Belichick is living. He's in the official's ear saying, hey,

970
00:45:50,080 --> 00:45:53,480
Speaker 1: that's you know, sun sportsmanlike it's whatever. He's faking it.

971
00:45:54,120 --> 00:45:56,799
Speaker 1: And to his credit, I saw the same thing. I thought, Wow,

972
00:45:56,880 --> 00:46:00,239
Speaker 1: that's a quick thinking play by a good defender. Just

973
00:46:00,239 --> 00:46:05,520
Speaker 1: read right, Yes he used to burnyard epithet, Yes, right,

974
00:46:05,600 --> 00:46:09,719
Speaker 1: exactly and right. So he tells the official in knowing

975
00:46:09,800 --> 00:46:12,040
Speaker 1: certain terms he thinks is fake. But then again, Bobby

976
00:46:12,120 --> 00:46:14,080
Speaker 1: McCain didn't come back to the game. He was hurt.

977
00:46:14,080 --> 00:46:17,359
Speaker 1: He was hurt injury. I don't think he was even

978
00:46:17,400 --> 00:46:20,200
Speaker 1: asked about it because everybody, including me, I thought, wow,

979
00:46:20,200 --> 00:46:23,400
Speaker 1: that was a smart played by Bobby McCain. I was

980
00:46:23,440 --> 00:46:26,160
Speaker 1: probably in the minority thinking that because I was the

981
00:46:26,200 --> 00:46:28,480

1065
00:50:25,960 --> 00:50:29,000
Speaker 1: The whole layout was you do get a free pulmonary

1066
00:50:29,040 --> 00:50:31,200
Speaker 1: examination with each plate that you get it though, so

1067
00:50:32,400 --> 00:50:34,799
Speaker 1: didn't you tell? Mean? I didn't get deep involved. But

1068
00:50:34,840 --> 00:50:38,560
Speaker 1: they were making omelets to order for the game, made

1069
00:50:38,600 --> 00:50:41,680
Speaker 1: to order rots brots. Yeah, they had everything seat. It

1070
00:50:41,719 --> 00:50:43,680
Speaker 1: was unbelievable. I had a halftime brought and I have

1071
00:50:43,800 --> 00:50:45,320
Speaker 1: to say I was a little discipline. It's nice that

1072
00:50:45,320 --> 00:50:48,680
Speaker 1: they feed you before they shut you out right, brought

1073
00:50:48,719 --> 00:50:51,120
Speaker 1: worst was not snuff. I've made bitter brot worst at

1076
00:50:56,120 --> 00:50:59,080
Speaker 1: is great. It is not sacred ground though it's not

1077
00:50:59,239 --> 00:51:02,080
Speaker 1: just a regular say although it is a nice press box.

1080
00:51:05,640 --> 00:51:08,200
Speaker 1: I've been a little bit around Wisconsin. Great people, that's

1081
00:51:08,200 --> 00:51:10,360
Speaker 1: the thing. It's not sacred ground at Lambeau. It's the

1082
00:51:10,400 --> 00:51:13,319
Speaker 1: people are really nice. It's a good organization led by

Speaker 1: Mark Murphy, the Clarence Native. The bus, you know, the

1084
00:51:15,440 --> 00:51:17,960
Speaker 1: bus pulls in and they're just waving, wave, smiling and

1085
00:51:18,080 --> 00:51:20,759
Speaker 1: the way out. Some other places, some other places, you're

1086
00:51:20,800 --> 00:51:23,120
Speaker 1: getting a whole different kind of gesture and maybe some

1087
00:51:23,200 --> 00:51:27,920
Speaker 1: eggs thrown at you. Behind you there, All right, brownie,

1088
00:51:28,000 --> 00:51:29,919
Speaker 1: give us give us a little synopsis. I mean, what's

1089
00:51:29,920 --> 00:51:32,440
Speaker 1: your what's your take? I mean, we're asking about what

1090
00:51:32,520 --> 00:51:34,560
Speaker 1: the problem with the Bill's offense is. Today. We're getting

1091
00:51:34,560 --> 00:51:37,320
Speaker 1: all kinds of you know, we're getting everything from Brandon

1092
00:51:37,400 --> 00:51:40,040
Speaker 1: Bean and what happened in January all the way through

1093
00:51:40,120 --> 00:51:44,040
Speaker 1: to you know, the rookie quarterback. Yeah, right now, the

1094
00:51:44,160 --> 00:51:46,880
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage is a problem. In three of the

1095
00:51:46,920 --> 00:51:50,239
Speaker 1: four games this year, the offensive line has not been

1096
00:51:50,280 --> 00:51:53,759
Speaker 1: able to win at the line of scrimmage. They're not

1097
00:51:53,840 --> 00:51:55,960
Speaker 1: the only ones losing one on one battles, but I

1098
00:51:56,040 --> 00:51:58,080
Speaker 1: think we all know, and we've heard coach say it

1099
00:51:58,160 --> 00:52:01,239
Speaker 1: a million times. It starts up front. And when you

1100
00:52:01,400 --> 00:52:04,279
Speaker 1: can't win consistently up front, whether it's run block and

1101
00:52:04,320 --> 00:52:08,600
Speaker 1: pass block and whatever you're doing, it creates a domino effect.

1102
00:52:09,080 --> 00:52:11,520
Speaker 1: And I think that's exacerbated when you have a rookie

1103
00:52:11,600 --> 00:52:14,520
Speaker 1: quarterback who's relying on that line not only to do

1104
00:52:14,560 --> 00:52:16,800
Speaker 1: their job number one, but relying on that center and

1105
00:52:16,880 --> 00:52:19,360
Speaker 1: maybe help them out with some pre snap protection adjustments

1106
00:52:19,480 --> 00:52:22,360
Speaker 1: things like that. And with Petton and how or Petting

1107
00:52:22,400 --> 00:52:24,520
Speaker 1: and how varied and multiple he was with what he

1108
00:52:24,600 --> 00:52:26,600
Speaker 1: was throwing at those guys, I think it made it

1109
00:52:26,680 --> 00:52:29,399
Speaker 1: a tough road to hoe. But when you can't run

1110
00:52:29,440 --> 00:52:31,680
Speaker 1: the football because you can't win at the line of scrimmage,

1111
00:52:31,719 --> 00:52:34,680
Speaker 1: now you're creating third and long, third and medium, and

1112
00:52:34,840 --> 00:52:37,000
Speaker 1: that's playing right into what Mike Petton likes to do

1113
00:52:37,120 --> 00:52:40,640
Speaker 1: best defensively with play calls. So, because I get sick

1114
00:52:40,680 --> 00:52:41,960
Speaker 1: of doing this and we have to do it every

1115
00:52:42,040 --> 00:52:45,359
Speaker 1: time we have this conversation, there's really nothing they could

1116
00:52:45,400 --> 00:52:46,719
Speaker 1: have done about it more than they did in the

1117
00:52:46,800 --> 00:52:48,719
Speaker 1: offseason because they just didn't have the ESTs do. They

1118
00:52:48,719 --> 00:52:54,840
Speaker 1: signed Bodine, but they lost wood and incognito, and all

1119
00:52:54,840 --> 00:52:56,759
Speaker 1: everybody wants to say is how could they allowed them,

1120
00:52:56,840 --> 00:52:58,799
Speaker 1: you know, not take care Well, they got other things

1121
00:52:58,840 --> 00:53:00,239
Speaker 1: they got to take care of. And they did sign

1122
00:53:00,280 --> 00:53:02,439
Speaker 1: a center who it wasn't a strong and it wasn't

1123
00:53:02,440 --> 00:53:05,680
Speaker 1: a strong draft for alignment this year, especially offensive tackles.

1124
00:53:07,080 --> 00:53:09,680
Speaker 1: There were some guards and centers out there that were decent,

1125
00:53:11,320 --> 00:53:14,640
Speaker 1: you know, but the Bills chose to address other priorities,

1126
00:53:14,719 --> 00:53:17,040
Speaker 1: most notably quarterback, which is your most important position on

1127
00:53:17,080 --> 00:53:21,600
Speaker 1: the field. Um, you know, hindsight is always twenty twenty.

1128
00:53:21,640 --> 00:53:24,520
Speaker 1: I think everybody can admit to that. But uh yeah,

1129
00:53:24,680 --> 00:53:27,680
Speaker 1: upfront is an issue right now. It's it's a big issue. Yep.

1130
00:53:28,360 --> 00:53:30,920
Speaker 1: Chris Brown, Bills Insider, Buffalo Bills dot Com and studio

1131
00:53:31,000 --> 00:53:33,520
Speaker 1: with us talking about yesterday's lost to the Packers, and

1132
00:53:33,640 --> 00:53:36,479
Speaker 1: we can get Chris involved in our Twitter poll today

1133
00:53:36,480 --> 00:53:39,200
Speaker 1: as we talk about the Bills offensive issues through four games?

1134
00:53:39,440 --> 00:53:41,680
Speaker 1: Do we have here what's the biggest problem for the

1135
00:53:41,760 --> 00:53:45,400
Speaker 1: Bills on offense through the first four games? Um, A

1136
00:53:45,440 --> 00:53:47,200
Speaker 1: lot of response to this one. People have been giving

1137
00:53:47,200 --> 00:53:51,320
Speaker 1: it some deep thought. Forty nine percent of respondents fifty

1138
00:53:51,360 --> 00:53:55,879
Speaker 1: percent say limited receiving options the problems that receiver twenty

1139
00:53:55,920 --> 00:53:58,400
Speaker 1: three percent say other. I'm guessing they're thinking about offensive

1140
00:53:58,480 --> 00:54:01,600
Speaker 1: line sixteen percent the lack of a run game. Eleven

1141
00:54:01,640 --> 00:54:04,680
Speaker 1: percent say the inexperienced by Josh Allen. What do you think, Chris,

1142
00:54:04,800 --> 00:54:06,879
Speaker 1: what's their biggest problem on offense? And you have your

1143
00:54:07,000 --> 00:54:09,359
Speaker 1: you know, you have a lot to choose from. Yeah,

1144
00:54:09,440 --> 00:54:11,960
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm probably gonna go other because I think it,

1145
00:54:12,320 --> 00:54:14,560
Speaker 1: like I said, it starts up front, and I think

1146
00:54:14,600 --> 00:54:16,560
Speaker 1: the reason you have the lack of a run game

1147
00:54:16,680 --> 00:54:18,600
Speaker 1: is because you're not winning at the line of scrimmage.

1148
00:54:18,880 --> 00:54:20,320
Speaker 1: If you win at the line of scrimmage, at the

1149
00:54:20,400 --> 00:54:22,279
Speaker 1: very least, you should have a productive run game. With

1150
00:54:22,360 --> 00:54:26,239
Speaker 1: a talent the caliber of Lashawn McCoy, he doesn't just

1151
00:54:26,400 --> 00:54:29,520
Speaker 1: fall off a cliff in terms of production from one

1152
00:54:29,600 --> 00:54:32,239
Speaker 1: year to the next to the degree that he has now.

1153
00:54:32,280 --> 00:54:34,040
Speaker 1: He's also not getting the ball a lot either, and

1154
00:54:34,120 --> 00:54:36,200
Speaker 1: that's a problem because he's not getting enough touches. I mean,

1155
00:54:36,280 --> 00:54:38,840
Speaker 1: through the first three games in which he has appeared,

1156
00:54:39,239 --> 00:54:42,680
Speaker 1: he's averaging eleven touches a game that's rushing and receiving

1157
00:54:42,760 --> 00:54:44,680
Speaker 1: a little bit of a function of down and distance,

1158
00:54:44,719 --> 00:54:47,080
Speaker 1: though particularly in the run game, throw him the ball then,

1159
00:54:47,360 --> 00:54:48,680
Speaker 1: I mean, you know what I mean. He should be

1160
00:54:48,760 --> 00:54:51,520
Speaker 1: getting twenty touches a game. How many other proven weapons

1161
00:54:51,520 --> 00:54:53,600
Speaker 1: do you have on this offense. He's the number one weapon.

1162
00:54:53,640 --> 00:54:57,680
Speaker 1: He should see the more than anybody. So eleven touches

1163
00:54:57,719 --> 00:55:01,200
Speaker 1: a game is just not enough. It's just not It's

1164
00:55:01,239 --> 00:55:04,200
Speaker 1: not enough to allow him to make an impact for you,

1165
00:55:05,360 --> 00:55:08,440
Speaker 1: no matter what's working or what's not working. So you know,

1166
00:55:08,560 --> 00:55:12,279
Speaker 1: I think for me, it's offensive line first. You gotta

1167
00:55:12,360 --> 00:55:15,399
Speaker 1: win there at the line to have a run game

1168
00:55:16,360 --> 00:55:19,239
Speaker 1: and to have respectable pass protection so you can so

1169
00:55:19,360 --> 00:55:22,320
Speaker 1: you can get the ball off now. Josh is not blameless,

1170
00:55:22,840 --> 00:55:25,200
Speaker 1: you know. Going into last week's game, I saw Pro

1171
00:55:25,320 --> 00:55:29,319
Speaker 1: Football Focus at a stat he was thirty first among

1172
00:55:29,400 --> 00:55:31,800
Speaker 1: the thirty two quarterbacks in terms of time holding the

1173
00:55:31,880 --> 00:55:34,800
Speaker 1: ball at just over three seconds on average, and it

1174
00:55:34,920 --> 00:55:38,120
Speaker 1: may have been longer. It maybe longer now after this

1175
00:55:38,239 --> 00:55:41,799
Speaker 1: pass game. So there are things he has to clean

1176
00:55:41,880 --> 00:55:43,560
Speaker 1: up too, and make no mistake about it, he is

1177
00:55:43,600 --> 00:55:47,160
Speaker 1: not blameless in this. But up front is where it

1178
00:55:47,239 --> 00:55:49,080
Speaker 1: has to get better and get better in a hurry,

1179
00:55:49,480 --> 00:55:51,960
Speaker 1: and people are saying, well, you know, put this guy in,

1180
00:55:52,080 --> 00:55:55,239
Speaker 1: take this guy out. And I don't know how much

1181
00:55:55,239 --> 00:55:58,040
Speaker 1: you want to change because you're trying to blend it together.

1182
00:56:00,080 --> 00:56:03,600
Speaker 1: And they've already made one change with Bodine in a

1183
00:56:03,680 --> 00:56:05,719
Speaker 1: manner of speaking, because he was in and out during

1184
00:56:05,760 --> 00:56:09,400
Speaker 1: the whole competition through the summer. How many changes do

1185
00:56:09,480 --> 00:56:12,000
Speaker 1: you want to make? You are getting close to the point, though,

1186
00:56:12,080 --> 00:56:15,240
Speaker 1: where this isn't change for change sake. This is change

1187
00:56:15,239 --> 00:56:18,040
Speaker 1: in an effort to make it better. And I'm on

1188
00:56:18,200 --> 00:56:20,000
Speaker 1: board with that. If you think it's going to be better.

1189
00:56:21,920 --> 00:56:24,000
Speaker 1: There's a lot to fix there, an awful lot. I mean,

1190
00:56:24,080 --> 00:56:28,160
Speaker 1: this is a team that's averaging less than three yards

1191
00:56:28,440 --> 00:56:31,600
Speaker 1: on first down, and it is by far the lowest

1192
00:56:31,640 --> 00:56:34,600
Speaker 1: figure in the league. The only team that comes close

1193
00:56:34,640 --> 00:56:37,240
Speaker 1: to them is Arizona at three and a half yards

1194
00:56:37,320 --> 00:56:39,759
Speaker 1: per play on first down. And so that immediately puts

1195
00:56:39,800 --> 00:56:42,160
Speaker 1: you behind the sticks and in bad down and distance

1196
00:56:42,440 --> 00:56:46,800
Speaker 1: for play calling, for execution, for pass protection. It's a

1197
00:56:46,880 --> 00:56:49,880
Speaker 1: domino effect. As I said, say you're called Sean in

1198
00:56:50,000 --> 00:56:52,320
Speaker 1: Las Vegas on the line with the Sean your thoughts

1199
00:56:52,400 --> 00:56:56,080
Speaker 1: on the problems with the Buffalo offense. What do you think? Well,

1200
00:56:56,120 --> 00:56:58,200
Speaker 1: you know, I think I'll just be echoing a lot

1201
00:56:58,280 --> 00:57:00,360
Speaker 1: of what you guys have been saying, which is I

1202
00:57:00,440 --> 00:57:03,600
Speaker 1: think it's just a lack of talent. I mean, besides

1203
00:57:03,760 --> 00:57:07,000
Speaker 1: McCoy and Charles Clay, which has seemed to be in

1204
00:57:07,040 --> 00:57:10,080
Speaker 1: the top two targets, we don't have much going and

1205
00:57:10,920 --> 00:57:13,120
Speaker 1: I mean we got a lot of dead cap space,

1206
00:57:13,239 --> 00:57:15,640
Speaker 1: so we're kind of handcuffed. But I think next year

1207
00:57:15,680 --> 00:57:19,000
Speaker 1: they spend some money on the offensive line, draft some playmakers.

1208
00:57:19,040 --> 00:57:21,160
Speaker 1: I don't know if McCoy will be there after after

1209
00:57:21,280 --> 00:57:24,520
Speaker 1: next year, and I think they're moving in a good direction.

1210
00:57:24,640 --> 00:57:26,400
Speaker 1: I mean, even as far as Alan goes, I mean,

1211
00:57:26,840 --> 00:57:30,520
Speaker 1: he's got a high ceiling. But today and next Sunday,

1212
00:57:30,640 --> 00:57:33,680
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, his talent is pretty um, it's

1213
00:57:33,720 --> 00:57:37,760
Speaker 1: pretty uh, you know, one way he's got to learn.

1214
00:57:38,080 --> 00:57:40,960
Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, I mean that's yeah, Sean, you're you're right.

1215
00:57:41,040 --> 00:57:43,280
Speaker 1: I mean, but here's the thing. If you're in on

1216
00:57:43,400 --> 00:57:45,080
Speaker 1: this team, and you're in, you've got some skin in

1217
00:57:45,160 --> 00:57:47,480
Speaker 1: this game, like the players and coaches do. You're not

1218
00:57:47,560 --> 00:57:50,040
Speaker 1: talking about next year. You're talking about this week. You're

1219
00:57:50,080 --> 00:57:54,080
Speaker 1: talking about the Tennessee Titans, and you're talking about what

1220
00:57:54,160 --> 00:57:56,040
Speaker 1: you're gonna do against them, and you're talking about getting

1221
00:57:56,120 --> 00:57:57,920
Speaker 1: better and I think the real thing is, and we've

1222
00:57:57,960 --> 00:58:01,040
Speaker 1: talked about this, Brownie, the of the coaching staff now

1223
00:58:01,160 --> 00:58:02,959
Speaker 1: is to get the most out of Josh Allen. Also

1224
00:58:03,320 --> 00:58:06,240
Speaker 1: get make sure that when he shows up to work

1225
00:58:06,280 --> 00:58:08,840
Speaker 1: on Wednesday, starts taking reps, that he gets back in

1226
00:58:08,880 --> 00:58:12,720
Speaker 1: the huddle and wins the teammates, but his teammates back,

1227
00:58:13,040 --> 00:58:16,200
Speaker 1: shows some leadership, takes ownership for the problems he had. Well,

1228
00:58:16,240 --> 00:58:18,680
Speaker 1: he did that after the game, to his credit. Yeah,

1229
00:58:18,720 --> 00:58:20,800
Speaker 1: so that's what he's I mean, that's what you can't

1230
00:58:20,920 --> 00:58:24,200
Speaker 1: and because one of the fears about this season would

1231
00:58:24,240 --> 00:58:27,200
Speaker 1: have been playing him this early is like, Wow, he's

1232
00:58:27,200 --> 00:58:29,800
Speaker 1: gonna get his confidence crushed and he's never gonna be

1233
00:58:29,840 --> 00:58:31,520
Speaker 1: the same guy. He's gonna he's on pace to get

1234
00:58:31,600 --> 00:58:34,480
Speaker 1: sacked eighty two times this season. I mean, that's it's all,

1235
00:58:34,720 --> 00:58:39,080
Speaker 1: you know, disastrous. But I think you can belie some

1236
00:58:39,240 --> 00:58:42,680
Speaker 1: of that by with a good coaching staff and say, hey,

1237
00:58:42,720 --> 00:58:44,439
Speaker 1: you're gonna get stuck back in there, you're gonna be okay,

1238
00:58:44,480 --> 00:58:46,880
Speaker 1: you're gonna get through this, and handling him that way.

1239
00:58:46,880 --> 00:58:49,040
Speaker 1: How they handle him this week after a bad game

1240
00:58:49,840 --> 00:58:52,080
Speaker 1: is as important as some of the game plans they

1241
00:58:52,120 --> 00:58:54,080
Speaker 1: give him that is for the future. That is right,

1242
00:58:54,400 --> 00:58:58,800
Speaker 1: and I think looking at this in terms of expectations

1243
00:58:58,880 --> 00:59:03,680
Speaker 1: going forward. You know, even GM Brandon being when they

1244
00:59:03,800 --> 00:59:07,640
Speaker 1: drafted Josh said he's a player in need of development.

1245
00:59:07,840 --> 00:59:11,720
Speaker 1: He is an unfinished product, I believe were his exact words,

1246
00:59:12,600 --> 00:59:15,400
Speaker 1: and he might need a little more development than maybe

1247
00:59:15,440 --> 00:59:18,080
Speaker 1: even some of the other quarterbacks that got drafted along

1248
00:59:18,160 --> 00:59:21,920
Speaker 1: with him. I think most people would argue that Mayfield

1249
00:59:22,840 --> 00:59:25,640
Speaker 1: Rosen are a little bit more polished products coming out

1250
00:59:25,680 --> 00:59:29,720
Speaker 1: of school than Josh was. Josh obviously has the higher

1251
00:59:29,760 --> 00:59:32,960
Speaker 1: ceiling with the physical skill set, and I think his

1252
00:59:33,080 --> 00:59:35,520
Speaker 1: mental approach is right in terms of, you know, approaching

1253
00:59:35,560 --> 00:59:38,120
Speaker 1: this game, and I'm not worried about his confidence being shaken.

1254
00:59:38,600 --> 00:59:41,400
Speaker 1: My concern is with his internal clock. You know, when

1255
00:59:41,480 --> 00:59:46,560
Speaker 1: you have protection issues and you know he's not one

1256
00:59:46,640 --> 00:59:49,800
Speaker 1: hundred percent certain about what he's seeing and trusting his eyes,

1257
00:59:50,880 --> 00:59:53,400
Speaker 1: these can lead to either a holding onto the ball

1258
00:59:53,440 --> 00:59:55,680
Speaker 1: too long or be getting hit really early in a

1259
00:59:56,040 --> 00:59:59,200
Speaker 1: mess up in protection, and that internal clock and that

1260
00:59:59,360 --> 01:00:01,480
Speaker 1: rhythm that he's used to when he's throwing the ball,

1261
01:00:01,720 --> 01:00:05,880
Speaker 1: like we saw in Minnesota, suddenly disappears and it becomes

1262
01:00:05,960 --> 01:00:08,240
Speaker 1: difficult to get back again if it goes for a

1263
01:00:08,320 --> 01:00:10,760
Speaker 1: long stretch. Your concern is shared by one of our

1264
01:00:10,800 --> 01:00:14,520
Speaker 1: respondents on Twitter, Jonathan Policento tweets and I'm more concerned

1265
01:00:14,560 --> 01:00:17,120
Speaker 1: with lack of pocket presents and if it can be

1266
01:00:17,280 --> 01:00:19,919
Speaker 1: taught and reading blitz is and hitting the hot route,

1267
01:00:20,600 --> 01:00:22,240
Speaker 1: I want to get these guys thoughts. I believe it

1268
01:00:22,320 --> 01:00:23,920
Speaker 1: can be taught. I think the only way to do

1269
01:00:24,000 --> 01:00:26,959
Speaker 1: it develop pocket presents is to play. You gotta play,

1270
01:00:27,080 --> 01:00:28,920
Speaker 1: and that's why they'll have to stick at him. You

1271
01:00:29,000 --> 01:00:31,760
Speaker 1: hope that he stays healthy, Steve, the Bills as a

1272
01:00:31,840 --> 01:00:34,160
Speaker 1: team are gonna on pace to give up eighty two sacks.

1273
01:00:35,080 --> 01:00:37,520
Speaker 1: If it's any consolation to you, Josh Allens is on

1274
01:00:37,640 --> 01:00:42,000
Speaker 1: pace to be sacked seventy two times. Whatever, it's a lot.

1275
01:00:42,280 --> 01:00:45,760
Speaker 1: Here's the thing. He got sacked seven times yesterday and

1276
01:00:45,840 --> 01:00:47,840
Speaker 1: he probably got hit at least five other times, pretty

1277
01:00:47,880 --> 01:00:50,000
Speaker 1: serious hits. That is a concern. And here's the thing.

1278
01:00:51,200 --> 01:00:53,840
Speaker 1: You get better pocket presents when you have more success

1279
01:00:53,920 --> 01:00:57,720
Speaker 1: in the pocket, and you have more time in the pocket,

1280
01:00:58,480 --> 01:01:01,800
Speaker 1: and you have options in the pocket to throw the

1281
01:01:01,880 --> 01:01:06,080
Speaker 1: football too. You can't. You're not gonna get pocket presents

1282
01:01:06,120 --> 01:01:08,560
Speaker 1: when like and I keep going back to that rookie

1283
01:01:08,800 --> 01:01:13,080
Speaker 1: throw he made and Brownie, you weren't here when he

1284
01:01:13,240 --> 01:01:15,080
Speaker 1: rolled out, he had two free runners in his face,

1285
01:01:15,240 --> 01:01:17,520
Speaker 1: rolled out to his right and threw that bad pick

1286
01:01:17,640 --> 01:01:20,520
Speaker 1: down into the end zone. That was as bad a

1287
01:01:20,600 --> 01:01:23,800
Speaker 1: rookie mistake as you're gonna see throwing that football like that.

1288
01:01:24,240 --> 01:01:26,800
Speaker 1: But if you're talking about pocket presents, there was no

1289
01:01:26,960 --> 01:01:29,640
Speaker 1: pocket and no presence to be had. He was done

1290
01:01:30,080 --> 01:01:32,080
Speaker 1: at the snap of the ball. He had to roll

1291
01:01:32,120 --> 01:01:36,320
Speaker 1: out and throw that football away fast. You can't have

1292
01:01:36,600 --> 01:01:39,840
Speaker 1: that and have the guy learned pocket presents right, which

1293
01:01:39,920 --> 01:01:42,320
Speaker 1: is why you know, I was so encouraged by what

1294
01:01:42,440 --> 01:01:45,440
Speaker 1: we saw in week three because there was a you

1295
01:01:45,480 --> 01:01:47,760
Speaker 1: could tell there was a design in the game plan

1296
01:01:48,680 --> 01:01:51,960
Speaker 1: to have high percentage throws that got the ball out

1297
01:01:52,000 --> 01:01:54,760
Speaker 1: of his hand quickly, and I thought it's set him

1298
01:01:54,840 --> 01:01:57,560
Speaker 1: up well for the rest of the game. It allowed

1299
01:01:57,680 --> 01:02:00,720
Speaker 1: him to get into a passing rhythm. You could see

1300
01:02:00,760 --> 01:02:06,000
Speaker 1: his confidence growing as the early stages of that game unfolded. Yes,

1301
01:02:06,200 --> 01:02:09,800
Speaker 1: you know yesterday in Green Bay that really was absent,

1302
01:02:10,440 --> 01:02:15,080
Speaker 1: and as I mentioned to Murph in the Monday morning breakdown,

1303
01:02:15,400 --> 01:02:19,400
Speaker 1: you know on our social media channels, that was the

1304
01:02:19,480 --> 01:02:22,640
Speaker 1: first time he looked rattled. To me, he's been pretty

1305
01:02:23,040 --> 01:02:27,320
Speaker 1: even Stephen all through the preseason, you know, in games

1306
01:02:27,360 --> 01:02:30,160
Speaker 1: in the early stages of the regular season here, but

1307
01:02:30,320 --> 01:02:32,960
Speaker 1: I thought yesterday was probably the first time where he

1308
01:02:33,080 --> 01:02:36,360
Speaker 1: looked skittish and rattled. And I think they've got to

1309
01:02:36,400 --> 01:02:40,200
Speaker 1: get back to putting him in a rhythm type passing

1310
01:02:40,280 --> 01:02:42,120
Speaker 1: game to get the ball out of his hand quick,

1311
01:02:42,560 --> 01:02:45,600
Speaker 1: to kind of re establish that passing rhythm and that

1312
01:02:45,800 --> 01:02:48,959
Speaker 1: sense of timing. And if you're getting it out that quick,

1313
01:02:49,080 --> 01:02:51,640
Speaker 1: you can stay in the pocket. And then if he

1314
01:02:51,760 --> 01:02:55,760
Speaker 1: makes progress there, you know, maybe in successive weeks, take

1315
01:02:55,800 --> 01:02:58,520
Speaker 1: it a step further, maybe have some longer routes in

1316
01:02:58,560 --> 01:03:01,400
Speaker 1: the progression and see if he hangs in that extra

1317
01:03:01,520 --> 01:03:04,600
Speaker 1: half second that he's not right now for something to

1318
01:03:04,720 --> 01:03:08,480
Speaker 1: come open. Yeah, I want to say Chris mentioned Monday

1319
01:03:08,480 --> 01:03:10,200
Speaker 1: Morning Breakdown, and if you don't know, that's a show

1320
01:03:10,240 --> 01:03:12,800
Speaker 1: that Chris and I do on Monday mornings ten am

1321
01:03:12,960 --> 01:03:15,760
Speaker 1: on the Facebook and on Twitter and on YouTube, and

1322
01:03:16,040 --> 01:03:18,680
Speaker 1: it's about a twenty minute long show and you can

1323
01:03:18,760 --> 01:03:21,880
Speaker 1: weigh in on those three social media platforms. We talk

1324
01:03:21,880 --> 01:03:23,520
Speaker 1: about the game, some of the different aspects of the

1325
01:03:23,560 --> 01:03:25,040
Speaker 1: game to take a look around the NFL. We did

1326
01:03:25,120 --> 01:03:27,080
Speaker 1: one today, still up. I believe you can still find

1327
01:03:27,120 --> 01:03:29,040
Speaker 1: it on the Facebook and you can reac it. Yeah.

1328
01:03:29,120 --> 01:03:30,560
Speaker 1: One of the one of the common themes about this

1329
01:03:30,640 --> 01:03:32,640
Speaker 1: last game was the Mike pett and the defensive coordinator

1330
01:03:32,720 --> 01:03:35,920
Speaker 1: the pack. He threw a lot of exotic looks at him,

1331
01:03:35,920 --> 01:03:38,800
Speaker 1: no question about a lot of stuff. Now think back

1332
01:03:39,000 --> 01:03:42,960
Speaker 1: a week in Minnesota, Josh had some early success against

1333
01:03:43,040 --> 01:03:45,280
Speaker 1: that defensive front. Now they got remember the first drive,

1334
01:03:45,360 --> 01:03:47,360
Speaker 1: they got the penalty, they were gonna be a three

1335
01:03:47,440 --> 01:03:49,560
Speaker 1: and out. They didn't get three and out. They went

1336
01:03:49,640 --> 01:03:51,080
Speaker 1: bang bang, bang, and all of a sudden they ended

1337
01:03:51,160 --> 01:03:52,680
Speaker 1: up He ran it in for a touchdown and the

1338
01:03:52,760 --> 01:03:56,480
Speaker 1: game was on. I think if you get early success

1339
01:03:56,520 --> 01:03:58,640
Speaker 1: against these defensive coordinates where they're gonna do all that

1340
01:03:58,760 --> 01:04:01,880
Speaker 1: stuff and you nick them early, they stay away from it.

1341
01:04:02,880 --> 01:04:07,040
Speaker 1: They don't they right, they they're like whoa, whoa, and

1342
01:04:07,120 --> 01:04:09,400
Speaker 1: if he if he if he busts loose contained and

1343
01:04:09,480 --> 01:04:11,120
Speaker 1: he nicks him for a big play with his legs,

1344
01:04:11,320 --> 01:04:14,160
Speaker 1: or like the played Ivory in that game where he

1345
01:04:14,320 --> 01:04:17,080
Speaker 1: got some time and Ivory busted loose. If you can

1346
01:04:17,160 --> 01:04:21,439
Speaker 1: have some early success against these defensive coordinators, they tended Okay,

1347
01:04:21,440 --> 01:04:22,960
Speaker 1: all right, let's just play a little bit more close

1348
01:04:23,000 --> 01:04:24,640
Speaker 1: to the vest and just will play some defense here

1349
01:04:24,640 --> 01:04:26,000
Speaker 1: for a while and maybe you get away from that Stu.

1350
01:04:26,080 --> 01:04:28,880
Speaker 1: I will say this, Petton was ready for Josh to

1351
01:04:29,040 --> 01:04:31,200
Speaker 1: tuck and run because every time he did there was

1352
01:04:31,240 --> 01:04:33,480
Speaker 1: somebody right in the vicinity. I don't know if it

1353
01:04:33,560 --> 01:04:36,920
Speaker 1: was a spy every time, but they had people designated

1354
01:04:37,280 --> 01:04:39,040
Speaker 1: to be on him as soon as he took off

1355
01:04:39,080 --> 01:04:42,480
Speaker 1: and ran right. Chris Brown Bills inside of Buffalo Bills

1356
01:04:42,480 --> 01:04:44,760
Speaker 1: Dot Com with us for a few more minutes here. Hey, um,

1357
01:04:46,360 --> 01:04:48,520
Speaker 1: I want to give the Bills defense some credit. Yesterday

1358
01:04:48,800 --> 01:04:50,880
Speaker 1: twenty two points. They didn't score any other offense, but

1359
01:04:50,960 --> 01:04:53,360
Speaker 1: twenty two points. I thought they did a pretty good job.

1360
01:04:53,400 --> 01:04:56,200
Speaker 1: I thought, once again this year, they got better as

1361
01:04:56,200 --> 01:04:59,640
Speaker 1: the game went along. Um, pretty good pass rush on

1362
01:04:59,680 --> 01:05:02,680
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. Rodgers was not happy with what they did offensively.

1363
01:05:02,840 --> 01:05:05,200
Speaker 1: I think the Buffalo defense that quitted itself pretty pretty

1364
01:05:05,200 --> 01:05:08,160
Speaker 1: good yesterday. Not great, but yeah, I mean very quietly.

1365
01:05:08,240 --> 01:05:11,480
Speaker 1: They're top ten in yards allowed per play, what their

1366
01:05:11,600 --> 01:05:15,320
Speaker 1: ninth top ten Steve top ten defense yards yards allowed

1367
01:05:15,360 --> 01:05:18,640
Speaker 1: per play overall, their sixteenth they're allowing, but they're eleventh

1368
01:05:18,680 --> 01:05:21,880
Speaker 1: against the run. They're allowing fourteen points on average in

1369
01:05:21,880 --> 01:05:24,480
Speaker 1: the last two games, fourteen. And I'll tell you what.

1370
01:05:24,800 --> 01:05:27,240
Speaker 1: They gave up a ton of yards to Aaron Rodgers yesterday,

1371
01:05:27,880 --> 01:05:29,440
Speaker 1: but I'll tell you what, they only gave up twenty

1372
01:05:29,480 --> 01:05:32,760
Speaker 1: two points. They forced field goals. That to me, if

1373
01:05:32,800 --> 01:05:37,080
Speaker 1: you can keep Aaron Rodgers at home to twenty points

1374
01:05:37,200 --> 01:05:40,919
Speaker 1: or thereabouts, that's a win for your defense. You gotta

1375
01:05:40,960 --> 01:05:44,480
Speaker 1: be you gotta be expected to play that and have

1376
01:05:44,600 --> 01:05:47,040
Speaker 1: a chance to win that game. There's no doubt that

1377
01:05:47,160 --> 01:05:51,640
Speaker 1: the offense was the one that struggled yesterday. When you

1378
01:05:52,920 --> 01:05:56,480
Speaker 1: can hold Aaron Rodgers and the Packers to twenty two

1379
01:05:56,560 --> 01:06:00,200
Speaker 1: points in a game at home, that is a that's

1380
01:06:00,240 --> 01:06:02,600
Speaker 1: a good day for your defense. And now people look

1381
01:06:02,680 --> 01:06:05,000
Speaker 1: sideways at me, like I'm telling you that's the way

1382
01:06:05,000 --> 01:06:07,280
Speaker 1: I think about it. I thought they really holding them off.

1383
01:06:07,320 --> 01:06:11,680
Speaker 1: The off the scoreboard was huge. Ester Rogers after the

1384
01:06:11,760 --> 01:06:14,400
Speaker 1: game and his postgame press conference said, our defense played

1385
01:06:14,400 --> 01:06:17,760
Speaker 1: super Bowl caliber, our offense was not even playoff caliber.

1386
01:06:18,240 --> 01:06:20,320
Speaker 1: He wasn't happy, I mean, he was not happy with

1387
01:06:20,400 --> 01:06:23,760
Speaker 1: the results that they got yesterday. Now you know it

1388
01:06:24,480 --> 01:06:26,800
Speaker 1: might sound silly in a twenty two to nothing final,

1389
01:06:26,920 --> 01:06:30,440
Speaker 1: but his expectations clearly were not even close to being

1390
01:06:30,560 --> 01:06:32,960
Speaker 1: met in terms of what he felt they should have

1391
01:06:33,040 --> 01:06:35,040
Speaker 1: been able to do against this Bills. That's because they're

1392
01:06:35,160 --> 01:06:37,760
Speaker 1: they're not worried about yards, They're worried about points, and

1393
01:06:37,800 --> 01:06:40,360
Speaker 1: they couldn't put any points on the board. And you

1394
01:06:40,480 --> 01:06:42,640
Speaker 1: think back to you know, you got a cornerback in

1395
01:06:42,840 --> 01:06:45,560
Speaker 1: Ryan Lewis who dropped a pick six, and then you

1396
01:06:45,640 --> 01:06:48,000
Speaker 1: got a quarterback on your part, they had one too,

1397
01:06:48,040 --> 01:06:49,600
Speaker 1: and he could have thought right, so you had another

1398
01:06:49,680 --> 01:06:51,960
Speaker 1: one that could have turned into a field goal to

1399
01:06:52,040 --> 01:06:54,200
Speaker 1: turn into an interception or red zone from Josh Allen.

1400
01:06:54,240 --> 01:06:57,160
Speaker 1: There's ten points right off the top, and then you have,

1401
01:06:57,640 --> 01:07:00,880
Speaker 1: you know, all that stuff. The Packers ever felt comfortable

1402
01:07:00,920 --> 01:07:03,920
Speaker 1: in this game because of the Bill's defense. That's what

1403
01:07:04,000 --> 01:07:06,920
Speaker 1: you call from Sal in north TONA want to go ahead? Sal,

1404
01:07:06,960 --> 01:07:12,320
Speaker 1: you're on the air with this, Hello, Sal, Yeah, I'm here,

1405
01:07:12,560 --> 01:07:15,680
Speaker 1: go ahead, go ahead. One thing I like to address,

1406
01:07:15,840 --> 01:07:18,120
Speaker 1: You're right about the lack of touches from McCoy um.

1407
01:07:18,520 --> 01:07:21,080
Speaker 1: I just think we need a little more creativity. I mean,

1408
01:07:21,160 --> 01:07:22,640
Speaker 1: like we're not going to pound a pound of pound

1409
01:07:22,680 --> 01:07:24,720
Speaker 1: it inside downe with McCloy when they know it's coming.

1410
01:07:24,840 --> 01:07:26,960
Speaker 1: All the times of the game. You see the screens

1411
01:07:27,320 --> 01:07:28,840
Speaker 1: i'd like to see. I mean, like you look at

1412
01:07:29,240 --> 01:07:33,160
Speaker 1: Kase Jacksonville. There constant fakes, I mean crossing roads and

1413
01:07:33,320 --> 01:07:35,600
Speaker 1: we had clay and a crossing road and that was

1414
01:07:35,640 --> 01:07:38,520
Speaker 1: a good play. Um. I mean, Josh Allen almost looks

1415
01:07:38,560 --> 01:07:40,240
Speaker 1: a little bit lost out there, like some reads. He

1416
01:07:40,280 --> 01:07:43,200
Speaker 1: doesn't know which much progressions going first, what to look

1417
01:07:43,240 --> 01:07:45,520
Speaker 1: for against what defense, and when to step up and stuff.

1418
01:07:45,800 --> 01:07:47,080
Speaker 1: So I'd like to see a little bit better on

1419
01:07:47,120 --> 01:07:50,360
Speaker 1: the coaching staff, and they're trying to address that more. Well, Listen,

1420
01:07:50,480 --> 01:07:52,640
Speaker 1: you can't have it both ways, yeah, I mean, if

1421
01:07:52,720 --> 01:07:55,480
Speaker 1: Josh's confused, he's gonna get more confused, right, if you're

1422
01:07:55,560 --> 01:07:58,440
Speaker 1: trying to be creative. Plus, listen, this is you get

1423
01:07:58,560 --> 01:08:02,720
Speaker 1: Kansas City and LA and these other teams like and

1424
01:08:02,920 --> 01:08:04,720
Speaker 1: like the Jets too. I mean, they've got these guys.

1425
01:08:04,800 --> 01:08:07,360
Speaker 1: Their roster on the outside is a little more established

1426
01:08:07,400 --> 01:08:10,680
Speaker 1: than the Bills is, particularly even the Jets. Kansas City

1427
01:08:10,800 --> 01:08:13,720
Speaker 1: is as well. The ramp. They've got guys outside that

1428
01:08:13,840 --> 01:08:16,720
Speaker 1: are fast and they got a bunch of them and

1429
01:08:16,840 --> 01:08:18,880
Speaker 1: the Bills, don't they got Kelvin Benjamin is not a

1430
01:08:18,920 --> 01:08:22,000
Speaker 1: fast guy. He's a different type of receiver. Zay Jones

1431
01:08:22,479 --> 01:08:24,599
Speaker 1: has not shown the ability to do that kind of stuff,

1432
01:08:24,640 --> 01:08:27,160
Speaker 1: the crossing routes. Now, he might say, Robert Foster, maybe

1433
01:08:27,200 --> 01:08:29,920
Speaker 1: he can help you with that, Maybe Ray Ray McLeod

1434
01:08:30,000 --> 01:08:32,360
Speaker 1: can help you with that. But those guys aren't getting

1435
01:08:32,400 --> 01:08:35,160
Speaker 1: on the field or at least not doing that, and

1436
01:08:35,520 --> 01:08:38,360
Speaker 1: so and you can't say you gotta do all this

1437
01:08:38,640 --> 01:08:41,640
Speaker 1: exotic fun, all this stuff, and then say, but your

1438
01:08:41,680 --> 01:08:45,960
Speaker 1: quarterbacks getting confused with what he's got already. So I mean,

1439
01:08:46,040 --> 01:08:47,840
Speaker 1: you're talking out of both sides of your mouth, but

1440
01:08:47,920 --> 01:08:50,320
Speaker 1: I get what you're saying about some of it. But listen,

1441
01:08:50,760 --> 01:08:52,720
Speaker 1: this is the same coaching staff that put together the

1442
01:08:52,920 --> 01:08:55,519
Speaker 1: game plan in Minnesota that everybody was raving about and

1443
01:08:55,640 --> 01:08:58,479
Speaker 1: how successful it was and how great it worked. They're

1444
01:08:58,479 --> 01:09:01,320
Speaker 1: not gonna they're not gonna st doing that over one week.

1445
01:09:01,400 --> 01:09:04,920
Speaker 1: So you know, no question, it looked different, But I

1446
01:09:04,960 --> 01:09:06,599
Speaker 1: think you got to give you put it a lot

1447
01:09:06,680 --> 01:09:09,080
Speaker 1: of it on the defense that they faced yesterday and

1448
01:09:09,240 --> 01:09:11,920
Speaker 1: Josh Allen's ability and the offensive line's ability to cope

1449
01:09:11,960 --> 01:09:15,640
Speaker 1: with it. Chris One thing I did see um a

1450
01:09:15,760 --> 01:09:19,560
Speaker 1: variety of personnel formations on offense again, right especially early on.

1451
01:09:19,680 --> 01:09:21,840
Speaker 1: I mean, while the game was still in play, they

1452
01:09:21,920 --> 01:09:25,080
Speaker 1: were mixing up personnel packages and formations, just as they

1453
01:09:25,120 --> 01:09:28,040
Speaker 1: did the week earlier in Minnesota. Nothing was working, obviously,

1454
01:09:28,120 --> 01:09:30,040
Speaker 1: but I mean it was there was an effort anyway

1455
01:09:30,080 --> 01:09:32,599
Speaker 1: to show different looks. They go two tight ends, one back,

1456
01:09:32,680 --> 01:09:35,200
Speaker 1: and they go five wide look empty set. Yeah, I

1457
01:09:35,280 --> 01:09:36,840
Speaker 1: mean they were mixing it up. And then in the

1458
01:09:36,920 --> 01:09:39,080
Speaker 1: second half they went with heavy personnel. They came out

1459
01:09:39,120 --> 01:09:42,720
Speaker 1: with thirteen personnel, three tight ends, one back, had some

1460
01:09:42,880 --> 01:09:45,599
Speaker 1: twenty one Yeah, you know, so they were they were

1461
01:09:45,680 --> 01:09:47,599
Speaker 1: mixing it up, and they went heavy in the second

1462
01:09:47,600 --> 01:09:50,120
Speaker 1: half and gave heavy run looks and tried to throw

1463
01:09:50,200 --> 01:09:53,200
Speaker 1: out of those a couple of times with limited success.

1464
01:09:53,960 --> 01:09:56,880
Speaker 1: I mean, it's not like Brian Davie wasn't trying different

1465
01:09:56,960 --> 01:10:00,080
Speaker 1: things to try to get green Bay off balance. What

1466
01:10:00,280 --> 01:10:02,200
Speaker 1: was clear to me was in the early stages of

1467
01:10:02,280 --> 01:10:05,679
Speaker 1: that game that green Bay defense had the offense off balance,

1468
01:10:05,760 --> 01:10:10,519
Speaker 1: and I think that's what contributed to Josh's uncertainty when

1469
01:10:10,560 --> 01:10:12,640
Speaker 1: he had the ball in his hands and his hesitation

1470
01:10:12,720 --> 01:10:14,240
Speaker 1: out there. Christ do you agree with me that the

1471
01:10:14,600 --> 01:10:16,519
Speaker 1: most difficult part. I'm not saying it. They coast the

1472
01:10:16,600 --> 01:10:18,360
Speaker 1: rest of the way, but I do believe the most

1473
01:10:18,400 --> 01:10:20,840
Speaker 1: difficult part of the schedule is behind the Bills right now.

1474
01:10:21,479 --> 01:10:24,479
Speaker 1: In terms of quarterbacks, you're going to see quarterbacks homing away.

1475
01:10:24,640 --> 01:10:26,240
Speaker 1: You know, to start three or four on the road.

1476
01:10:26,320 --> 01:10:28,080
Speaker 1: They got seven. It's gonna be five out of seven

1477
01:10:28,120 --> 01:10:30,000
Speaker 1: on the road right now when we're through this first half.

1478
01:10:30,040 --> 01:10:33,040
Speaker 1: He Andrew Luck and Tom Brady curs in the NFL

1479
01:10:33,280 --> 01:10:35,320
Speaker 1: three weeks, but only one of those two is a

1480
01:10:35,400 --> 01:10:39,200
Speaker 1: concern what he's doing. Quarterbacks, you're not worried about what

1481
01:10:39,400 --> 01:10:43,200
Speaker 1: Andrew Luck? No, No, okay, through for over four hundred yesterday,

1482
01:10:43,560 --> 01:10:45,599
Speaker 1: he's coming here. No, we're going there. It doesn't matter,

1483
01:10:46,920 --> 01:10:49,640
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. No, I'm telling you that toughest part of

1484
01:10:49,680 --> 01:10:51,599
Speaker 1: the schedule is behind Oh there's no doubt we knew

1485
01:10:51,640 --> 01:10:54,880
Speaker 1: that coming in that to d Yeah, we're quarterbacks. Three

1486
01:10:54,960 --> 01:10:59,880
Speaker 1: games on the road. With Flacco, Cousins, Rivers and Roger

1487
01:11:01,320 --> 01:11:03,760
Speaker 1: there's four pretty good quarterbacks. Coustins is the highest paid

1488
01:11:03,800 --> 01:11:06,240
Speaker 1: quarterback in the league for reasons. Flacco's won a Super

1489
01:11:06,280 --> 01:11:08,519
Speaker 1: Bowl and he's making twenty five million for a reason.

1490
01:11:08,600 --> 01:11:12,120
Speaker 1: Andrew Rodgers is the highest paid quarterback now and he

1491
01:11:12,240 --> 01:11:15,680
Speaker 1: just signed his deal. He's in the Andy Rogers at

1492
01:11:16,040 --> 01:11:19,600
Speaker 1: at fourteen years he might be in the prime. You know.

1493
01:11:20,120 --> 01:11:23,120
Speaker 1: But with that in mind, tell us about Tennessee. Your

1494
01:11:23,120 --> 01:11:26,000
Speaker 1: concerns with Tennessee Titans. You feel, yeah, they won three

1495
01:11:26,000 --> 01:11:28,599
Speaker 1: in a row. They also lost their opening to the Dolphins,

1496
01:11:28,800 --> 01:11:30,840
Speaker 1: right and won a weird game at Jacksonville. I gotta

1497
01:11:30,840 --> 01:11:32,479
Speaker 1: go back and look at that one. Now. Their defense,

1498
01:11:32,560 --> 01:11:38,000
Speaker 1: I think is is underrated. I think they're pretty good defensively,

1499
01:11:38,120 --> 01:11:41,479
Speaker 1: at least in turn and it's classic Patriots type defense.

1500
01:11:42,200 --> 01:11:45,280
Speaker 1: They'll give up yards, they'll let you move down the field,

1501
01:11:45,560 --> 01:11:47,720
Speaker 1: but once you hit the red zone, all bets are

1502
01:11:47,760 --> 01:11:50,160
Speaker 1: off and suddenly you're kicking a field going. You can't

1503
01:11:50,160 --> 01:11:52,360
Speaker 1: get in the end zone there, you know. There you

1504
01:11:52,439 --> 01:11:55,400
Speaker 1: look at them, they're six and points allout and why

1505
01:11:56,000 --> 01:11:58,559
Speaker 1: because they'll just bleed you bleed, you bleed you down

1506
01:11:58,640 --> 01:12:00,240
Speaker 1: the field. And then once you get in the red zone,

1507
01:12:00,240 --> 01:12:05,040
Speaker 1: they get aggressive. They make plays. They have two good corners.

1508
01:12:05,080 --> 01:12:06,960
Speaker 1: They spend a lot of money in free agency. You know,

1509
01:12:06,960 --> 01:12:09,880
Speaker 1: they've got Logan Ryan and Malcolm Butler. You know, both

1510
01:12:10,000 --> 01:12:12,760
Speaker 1: from New England, and they're doing a pretty good job.

1511
01:12:13,000 --> 01:12:16,880
Speaker 1: They're aggressive blitzing defense. They're blitzing thirty four percent of

1512
01:12:16,960 --> 01:12:19,479
Speaker 1: the time. That's a really high number, at least in

1513
01:12:19,520 --> 01:12:24,080
Speaker 1: today's NFL, and it's working for them. They're they're doing

1514
01:12:24,160 --> 01:12:25,880
Speaker 1: really well. I mean, they had Wentz on the run

1515
01:12:26,000 --> 01:12:30,519
Speaker 1: yesterday and they've had other quarterbacks struggle against them, So,

1516
01:12:31,240 --> 01:12:34,720
Speaker 1: you know, I think they're kind of built similarly, at

1517
01:12:34,800 --> 01:12:36,680
Speaker 1: least in terms of where the Bills are right now.

1518
01:12:36,760 --> 01:12:39,160
Speaker 1: They're probably stronger on the defensive side of the ball,

1519
01:12:39,720 --> 01:12:42,880
Speaker 1: but the difference for them is their quarterback is far

1520
01:12:43,040 --> 01:12:45,439
Speaker 1: further along and his maturation was this year four or

1521
01:12:45,479 --> 01:12:49,400
Speaker 1: five for Mariota now. And I mean they're calling them

1522
01:12:49,439 --> 01:12:52,000
Speaker 1: the comeback hid down there because they are making comeback

1523
01:12:52,080 --> 01:12:55,599
Speaker 1: efforts and winning games late and winning the close ones

1524
01:12:55,720 --> 01:12:57,960
Speaker 1: is huge in this league because seventy five percent of

1525
01:12:58,040 --> 01:13:00,640
Speaker 1: these games are determined by seven points or and if

1526
01:13:00,640 --> 01:13:04,040
Speaker 1: you're gonna win these the tight ones, you're going to

1527
01:13:04,080 --> 01:13:05,840
Speaker 1: be in good position to be in the postseason. Now,

1528
01:13:05,840 --> 01:13:07,720
Speaker 1: I'm not saying this team's going to the postseason, but

1529
01:13:08,280 --> 01:13:11,000
Speaker 1: they're gonna give the rest of that AFC South Division

1530
01:13:11,080 --> 01:13:12,800
Speaker 1: or run for their money. I think they are. And

1531
01:13:12,920 --> 01:13:15,840
Speaker 1: their offensive line is good. I mean two first round

1532
01:13:15,880 --> 01:13:19,200
Speaker 1: picks at the tackles, Jack Cochlin, Taylor Lawan, got good

1533
01:13:19,280 --> 01:13:22,240
Speaker 1: protection on the edges. You've got a quarterback that can run,

1534
01:13:22,840 --> 01:13:26,880
Speaker 1: so they've and Corey Davis is coming into his own now.

1535
01:13:26,960 --> 01:13:28,880
Speaker 1: The first round pick at wide receiver. Room is most

1536
01:13:28,880 --> 01:13:30,639
Speaker 1: of the last year due to injury. Yeah. Their their

1537
01:13:30,720 --> 01:13:33,559
Speaker 1: defense is number seven in third down percentage, so they

1538
01:13:33,640 --> 01:13:35,680
Speaker 1: get off the field and third down and also in

1539
01:13:35,800 --> 01:13:37,599
Speaker 1: sacks per attempt, they get a lot of pressure. They're

1540
01:13:37,720 --> 01:13:40,920
Speaker 1: number eight in the league in that department, So they

1541
01:13:41,000 --> 01:13:42,840
Speaker 1: get you off the field and third down and every

1542
01:13:42,880 --> 01:13:44,719
Speaker 1: time you drop back and pass or a high percentage

1543
01:13:44,720 --> 01:13:47,519
Speaker 1: of it, they're getting a sack, so which means also too,

1544
01:13:47,720 --> 01:13:49,280
Speaker 1: they're getting a lot of pressure when they don't get

1545
01:13:49,320 --> 01:13:51,840
Speaker 1: sacks as well. So they've got to go on their

1546
01:13:51,880 --> 01:13:53,760
Speaker 1: defensive there. And they're a hot team right now. And

1547
01:13:53,840 --> 01:13:56,000
Speaker 1: you and Murphy say it, it's a week to week league.

1548
01:13:56,520 --> 01:13:59,280
Speaker 1: Could that hot streak end? It's sure could, It's sure could.

1549
01:13:59,320 --> 01:14:00,680
Speaker 1: I'm not going to deny for a second. They got

1550
01:14:00,760 --> 01:14:02,560
Speaker 1: to come on the road and play here, so that

1551
01:14:02,680 --> 01:14:05,760
Speaker 1: makes it a different animal. I don't disagree one bit,

1552
01:14:06,360 --> 01:14:09,600
Speaker 1: but I hope they kind of shot their wat in

1553
01:14:09,640 --> 01:14:12,400
Speaker 1: that overtime game yesterday, so they don't have their best

1554
01:14:12,479 --> 01:14:15,040
Speaker 1: here this week. You mentioned close games. I don't even

1555
01:14:15,040 --> 01:14:17,400
Speaker 1: know what a close game looks like anymore, you know

1556
01:14:17,439 --> 01:14:19,840
Speaker 1: what I mean? We've got three four straight Bills games

1557
01:14:19,880 --> 01:14:21,960
Speaker 1: where the issue has been decided at half time. Makes

1558
01:14:22,000 --> 01:14:23,920
Speaker 1: for easier writing, I'll tell you that, it makes form

1559
01:14:24,200 --> 01:14:27,120
Speaker 1: much more difficult broadcast. Listen, they beat They beat the

1560
01:14:27,520 --> 01:14:32,160
Speaker 1: Jaguars and they beat Philadelphia. If you want to talk

1561
01:14:32,160 --> 01:14:34,080
Speaker 1: about a tough schedule, you gotta think, Wow, those two

1562
01:14:34,120 --> 01:14:36,960
Speaker 1: teams are pretty tough to beat, and they beat them both.

1563
01:14:37,320 --> 01:14:39,320
Speaker 1: We'll talk about a lot about them this week and

1564
01:14:39,400 --> 01:14:41,400
Speaker 1: more with Chris Brown. Chris, thank you for joining us today.

1565
01:14:41,439 --> 01:14:43,160
Speaker 1: We appreciate it. You got as what's coming up? You

1566
01:14:43,240 --> 01:14:45,160
Speaker 1: got four o'clock Sean McDermott, and then you go to

1567
01:14:45,240 --> 01:14:46,960
Speaker 1: the website right and you actually you can see Sean

1568
01:14:47,080 --> 01:14:49,320
Speaker 1: McDermott right on the web. Yeah, were streaming live on

1569
01:14:49,439 --> 01:14:51,560
Speaker 1: the site there. And then if you know people have

1570
01:14:51,920 --> 01:14:54,559
Speaker 1: a full time job and can't hop online and watch

1571
01:14:54,640 --> 01:14:57,400
Speaker 1: the thing live, We've we hit them with quick hits,

1572
01:14:57,439 --> 01:15:01,559
Speaker 1: which kind of just encapsulates the ground that coach covers

1573
01:15:02,160 --> 01:15:05,479
Speaker 1: in a short drive through window type format, you know,

1574
01:15:05,640 --> 01:15:07,920
Speaker 1: and then after that we've got more covers through the

1575
01:15:08,000 --> 01:15:09,439
Speaker 1: course of the week. You know, we usually put a

1576
01:15:09,479 --> 01:15:12,400
Speaker 1: stat's column up on Tuesday of some kind. Might be

1577
01:15:12,439 --> 01:15:15,800
Speaker 1: a little more difficult to find something this week that

1578
01:15:16,479 --> 01:15:18,400
Speaker 1: fans would be interested in chewing on, but we're gonna

1579
01:15:18,400 --> 01:15:20,960
Speaker 1: do our best. You shot Steve, and I look, when

1580
01:15:20,960 --> 01:15:22,479
Speaker 1: you said people have a full time job, are you

1581
01:15:22,600 --> 01:15:24,800
Speaker 1: trying to say something about our work. I was gonna

1582
01:15:24,880 --> 01:15:27,800
Speaker 1: let that slide. You gave us a look. I noticed

1583
01:15:27,800 --> 01:15:30,479
Speaker 1: it a little bit, a little bit rank he does

1584
01:15:30,560 --> 01:15:33,200
Speaker 1: have a full time he does Chris Brown Bills inside

1585
01:15:33,240 --> 01:15:35,839

1594
01:16:07,720 --> 01:16:10,360
Speaker 1: On the sidelines yesterday for the Bills and the Packers

1597
01:16:16,240 --> 01:16:18,360
Speaker 1: Happy to have Evan Washburn with us. Evan is John

1598
01:16:18,439 --> 01:16:20,439
Speaker 1: Murphy and Steve up here in Buffalo. Thanks for joining us,

1599
01:16:20,960 --> 01:16:22,760
Speaker 1: of course, fellas good to be with it. Last time

1600
01:16:22,800 --> 01:16:24,280
Speaker 1: we talked to you was a training camp on a

1601
01:16:24,320 --> 01:16:27,760
Speaker 1: beautiful Sunday, eighty degree day in Pittsburgh, New York. It

1602
01:16:27,960 --> 01:16:29,840
Speaker 1: was not that way at LAMB, but it was called

1603
01:16:29,880 --> 01:16:32,679
Speaker 1: down there. It wasn't it yesterday it was. It was brisk,

1604
01:16:33,479 --> 01:16:36,120
Speaker 1: and I don't think my body's acclimated to h to

1605
01:16:36,280 --> 01:16:38,640
Speaker 1: dealing with that. So I was layered up. But as

1606
01:16:38,720 --> 01:16:42,519
Speaker 1: tasker knows, uh, it's all about preparations. So I went

1607
01:16:42,600 --> 01:16:45,000
Speaker 1: to Dick Sporting Goods on Saturday and picked up some

1608
01:16:45,520 --> 01:16:48,320
Speaker 1: long Johns and some thermals. So we're doing nice. Is

1609
01:16:48,360 --> 01:16:51,479
Speaker 1: there a Dick Sporting Goods in Green Bay here? You

1610
01:16:51,600 --> 01:16:56,280
Speaker 1: bet your your heart there is? Yeah, I bet, I

1611
01:16:56,439 --> 01:16:59,040
Speaker 1: bet it is. What struck you about yesterday's game, but

1612
01:16:59,200 --> 01:17:03,280
Speaker 1: on for both teams, green Bay and Buffalo. Really what

1613
01:17:03,479 --> 01:17:05,720
Speaker 1: I think and this happens, and you know, whether I'm

1614
01:17:05,760 --> 01:17:09,240
Speaker 1: doing a football game, basketball game at times, definitely lacrosse

1615
01:17:09,320 --> 01:17:14,080
Speaker 1: at times. Despite the score, it felt like it when

1616
01:17:14,120 --> 01:17:16,560
Speaker 1: it was thirteen nothing going into the half, and I

1617
01:17:16,680 --> 01:17:18,479
Speaker 1: know they got that field goal right at the break there,

1618
01:17:18,600 --> 01:17:21,040
Speaker 1: but thirteen nothing. For most of that first half, it

1619
01:17:21,160 --> 01:17:24,920
Speaker 1: felt like it was thirty five nothing green Bay and

1620
01:17:25,240 --> 01:17:28,320
Speaker 1: that was just a product of their inability to move

1621
01:17:28,400 --> 01:17:31,200
Speaker 1: the ball. That thirteen second drive, the second three and

1622
01:17:31,280 --> 01:17:34,640
Speaker 1: out they had, I think was probably the most polarizing

1623
01:17:34,720 --> 01:17:36,840
Speaker 1: of that that early portion of the game in terms

1624
01:17:36,880 --> 01:17:39,800
Speaker 1: of making it clear to me and the really us

1625
01:17:39,960 --> 01:17:42,479
Speaker 1: is the crew that this was going to be a

1626
01:17:42,560 --> 01:17:44,360
Speaker 1: game where green Bay was going to win. It was

1627
01:17:44,439 --> 01:17:46,200
Speaker 1: just how long was it going to take for them

1628
01:17:46,240 --> 01:17:49,080
Speaker 1: to get there? Because they didn't play that clean a

1629
01:17:49,240 --> 01:17:52,920
Speaker 1: brand of football, especially offensively either, but they didn't need

1630
01:17:53,000 --> 01:17:55,800
Speaker 1: to do much. Yeah, thirteen second drive, that was tough

1631
01:17:55,880 --> 01:17:58,880
Speaker 1: to watch the Bills. Seven of their twelve possessions went

1632
01:17:58,920 --> 01:18:01,600
Speaker 1: three and out. Evan, you saw Josh Allen back at

1633
01:18:01,640 --> 01:18:03,639
Speaker 1: training camp when we talked to you back in August.

1634
01:18:04,320 --> 01:18:06,280
Speaker 1: You saw him at his worst yesterday. What do you think.

1635
01:18:06,360 --> 01:18:09,320
Speaker 1: What's your overall impression of the Bill's quarterback? Well, I

1636
01:18:09,479 --> 01:18:12,599
Speaker 1: think where he's come from training camp, and look, as

1637
01:18:12,640 --> 01:18:14,600
Speaker 1: we discussed, I was only there for a day, so

1638
01:18:14,720 --> 01:18:17,400
Speaker 1: I didn't don't ever want to make sweeping judgments, but

1639
01:18:17,600 --> 01:18:19,800
Speaker 1: from people like yourselves who were there every day, and

1640
01:18:20,080 --> 01:18:23,320
Speaker 1: I trust your opinions that I read and other people

1641
01:18:23,400 --> 01:18:27,000
Speaker 1: that are covering this team. Early on, it was it

1642
01:18:27,160 --> 01:18:29,360
Speaker 1: was rough, but he deserved to have the job when

1643
01:18:29,400 --> 01:18:31,320
Speaker 1: he got the job, and obviously a big part of

1644
01:18:31,400 --> 01:18:34,840
Speaker 1: that was what Peterman didn't do in week one. And

1645
01:18:35,240 --> 01:18:37,519
Speaker 1: when we met with them, it was much like when

1646
01:18:37,560 --> 01:18:41,160
Speaker 1: I spoke with him out there in Rochester. He's a

1647
01:18:41,840 --> 01:18:47,240
Speaker 1: confident kid that is clearly young, but is physically gifted,

1648
01:18:47,280 --> 01:18:50,720
Speaker 1: and I think I can handle what was a challenging

1649
01:18:51,560 --> 01:18:54,840
Speaker 1: day there. I think that that that'll hopefully hearten him

1650
01:18:54,920 --> 01:18:57,920
Speaker 1: in a way that the Minnesota game obviously didn't. You've

1651
01:18:57,920 --> 01:18:59,479
Speaker 1: got to as much as you need to have those

1652
01:18:59,560 --> 01:19:02,680
Speaker 1: days they had in Minnesota where everything was going right.

1653
01:19:03,280 --> 01:19:05,840
Speaker 1: I'm a big believer that you need to have some

1654
01:19:06,000 --> 01:19:08,360
Speaker 1: of these ugly ones to have them in your memory

1655
01:19:08,439 --> 01:19:12,280
Speaker 1: banks as something in this first year where you can

1656
01:19:12,360 --> 01:19:15,080
Speaker 1: look back at it and really have some visual evidence

1657
01:19:15,120 --> 01:19:17,240
Speaker 1: of what not to do and things you shouldn't do.

1658
01:19:17,320 --> 01:19:18,840
Speaker 1: And that's something that he brought up and something that

1659
01:19:18,920 --> 01:19:22,240
Speaker 1: Sean brought up that they're looking at this first year

1660
01:19:22,400 --> 01:19:27,440
Speaker 1: is is it's all about just building I guess experience

1661
01:19:27,720 --> 01:19:31,120
Speaker 1: and visual evidence to things that they can then utilize

1662
01:19:31,240 --> 01:19:34,120
Speaker 1: both good and bad going forward, and yesterday was the bad.

1663
01:19:35,240 --> 01:19:37,200
Speaker 1: One of the big topics in Buffalo is how much

1664
01:19:37,280 --> 01:19:38,920
Speaker 1: help he's getting on his side of the ball, the

1665
01:19:39,000 --> 01:19:43,599
Speaker 1: offensive line, the wide receivers, all at the running game. Well,

1666
01:19:43,680 --> 01:19:46,920
Speaker 1: what did you see about you know, the I say,

1667
01:19:46,960 --> 01:19:49,840
Speaker 1: the talent around Josh Allen, but also how much help

1668
01:19:49,920 --> 01:19:52,120
Speaker 1: he's getting not only from the players around him, but

1669
01:19:52,160 --> 01:19:55,400
Speaker 1: also from game plan aspects and some of the things

1670
01:19:55,439 --> 01:19:58,120
Speaker 1: they're asking him to do. Yeah, I mean, I think

1671
01:19:58,160 --> 01:20:02,720
Speaker 1: it's a fair criticism or place to place a critical eye.

1672
01:20:02,920 --> 01:20:05,720
Speaker 1: I don't know enough Steve to talk about what Brian

1673
01:20:05,800 --> 01:20:08,800
Speaker 1: Dable's doing or not doing. But what I can see,

1674
01:20:08,960 --> 01:20:11,719
Speaker 1: and it didn't take a football expert, is he didn't

1675
01:20:11,760 --> 01:20:14,320
Speaker 1: have time. And that's also a credit to Green Bay.

1676
01:20:14,479 --> 01:20:16,400
Speaker 1: Kind of finally, figuring out how to dial up the

1677
01:20:16,479 --> 01:20:20,080
Speaker 1: pass rush and they confused probably Josh. They probably used

1678
01:20:20,160 --> 01:20:22,200
Speaker 1: that line with a lot of different looks. That's something

1679
01:20:22,240 --> 01:20:25,160
Speaker 1: Mike Petton, when he's at his best, the defensive coordinator

1680
01:20:25,200 --> 01:20:27,800
Speaker 1: for Green Bay, former head coach of the Brown does

1681
01:20:27,880 --> 01:20:31,759
Speaker 1: really well. I mean he can confuse even the experienced quarterback.

1682
01:20:31,840 --> 01:20:34,200
Speaker 1: He did that when he was with the Jets, and

1683
01:20:34,320 --> 01:20:36,760
Speaker 1: then when it comes to the wide receivers. Yes, that's

1684
01:20:37,040 --> 01:20:41,240
Speaker 1: been I think I'm speaking accurately here a narrative that's

1685
01:20:41,280 --> 01:20:43,960
Speaker 1: been following this team, going back to him. We spoke

1686
01:20:44,400 --> 01:20:47,600
Speaker 1: in August, and Calvin Benjamin has been a disappointment. He

1687
01:20:47,680 --> 01:20:50,200
Speaker 1: took an unfortunate hit there and think he got his

1688
01:20:50,280 --> 01:20:52,040
Speaker 1: way back in the game, which was a good sign.

1689
01:20:52,240 --> 01:20:57,160
Speaker 1: But I think Josh was also wildly inaccurate because I

1690
01:20:57,240 --> 01:21:00,200
Speaker 1: think his everything's sped up for him and and so

1691
01:21:00,320 --> 01:21:03,080
Speaker 1: I can't place that on what appeared to be no

1692
01:21:03,280 --> 01:21:05,720
Speaker 1: name receivers and a lack of weapons that at least

1693
01:21:05,760 --> 01:21:09,799
Speaker 1: we all know because it once he started getting banged around,

1694
01:21:10,280 --> 01:21:14,000
Speaker 1: it all kind of seemed to accelerate and we saw

1695
01:21:14,040 --> 01:21:16,760
Speaker 1: a bootball swine all over Lambeau Well on the line

1696
01:21:16,760 --> 01:21:19,759
Speaker 1: with Van Washburn from the NFL on CBS sideline reporter

1697
01:21:19,800 --> 01:21:22,960
Speaker 1: for yesterday's game the Bills at the Green Bay Packers. Evan,

1698
01:21:23,280 --> 01:21:26,400
Speaker 1: as you mentioned it never the outcome wasn't really in

1699
01:21:26,479 --> 01:21:28,920
Speaker 1: doubt yesterday, But I want to give credit to the

1700
01:21:28,960 --> 01:21:31,760
Speaker 1: Buffalo defense, which you know, it's the second half. They

1701
01:21:31,800 --> 01:21:34,320
Speaker 1: held the Packers to six points. It seemed like, you know,

1702
01:21:34,400 --> 01:21:37,400
Speaker 1: they forced a couple of turnovers. That's a pretty high

1703
01:21:37,400 --> 01:21:39,920
Speaker 1: powered offense with one of the game's great quarterbacks all time.

1704
01:21:39,960 --> 01:21:42,240
Speaker 1: And I thought the Buffalo defense held its own. At

1705
01:21:42,280 --> 01:21:43,960
Speaker 1: least they weren't great, but they held their own against

1706
01:21:44,000 --> 01:21:47,000
Speaker 1: Green Bay. What did you think? I think that's a

1707
01:21:47,160 --> 01:21:50,320
Speaker 1: fair observation. And the fact that they did it without

1708
01:21:50,640 --> 01:21:53,760
Speaker 1: Micah Hide for really all of that game speaks to

1709
01:21:54,200 --> 01:21:57,400
Speaker 1: that as well. Of the secondary held up really well.

1710
01:21:57,560 --> 01:22:00,479
Speaker 1: Tredavious White is fun to watch and they probably did

1711
01:22:00,479 --> 01:22:03,800
Speaker 1: a nice job. Lookdavante Adams make some plays, but Sir

1712
01:22:03,880 --> 01:22:06,360
Speaker 1: Davious White kept him from making some big plays. One

1713
01:22:06,400 --> 01:22:08,519
Speaker 1: of the end zone really stands out to me. And

1714
01:22:08,880 --> 01:22:11,719
Speaker 1: they frustrated Rogers a little bit. And look green Bay's

1715
01:22:12,640 --> 01:22:15,519
Speaker 1: it was funny talking about this matchup as a crew

1716
01:22:15,840 --> 01:22:18,720
Speaker 1: going into it if you take Aaron Rodgers out of

1717
01:22:18,760 --> 01:22:22,360
Speaker 1: the equation, and obviously can't do that, but he appeared

1718
01:22:22,400 --> 01:22:24,840
Speaker 1: to be somewhat limited going in because of the knee.

1719
01:22:25,200 --> 01:22:28,479
Speaker 1: These are two kind of comparable teams, but just the

1720
01:22:28,600 --> 01:22:31,720
Speaker 1: fact that you have twelve back there is how you

1721
01:22:31,840 --> 01:22:33,880
Speaker 1: end up with the twenty two nothings shut out. Because

1722
01:22:34,400 --> 01:22:38,240
Speaker 1: I think the Bills defense played really as well equally

1723
01:22:38,320 --> 01:22:42,880
Speaker 1: as well as the Packers defense did. It's just the

1724
01:22:43,000 --> 01:22:47,160
Speaker 1: Packers have Aaron Rodgers to kind of grind out nineteen

1725
01:22:47,280 --> 01:22:50,120
Speaker 1: twenty two points over the course of four quarters, and

1726
01:22:51,000 --> 01:22:53,559
Speaker 1: the Bills at this point, with Josh and who they

1727
01:22:53,640 --> 01:22:56,840
Speaker 1: have around him, just can't do that makes sense. I

1728
01:22:56,960 --> 01:22:59,439
Speaker 1: agree with you completely. I was thinking about that exact thing.

1729
01:23:00,120 --> 01:23:01,640
Speaker 1: I was in New England about, you know, kind of

1730
01:23:01,680 --> 01:23:03,760
Speaker 1: thinking about how that Bills game might go and if

1731
01:23:04,360 --> 01:23:07,080
Speaker 1: if you did switch those quarterbacks around, those two teams

1732
01:23:07,240 --> 01:23:13,680
Speaker 1: have to feel like pretty similar. Although Packers got receivers

1733
01:23:13,720 --> 01:23:15,760
Speaker 1: that the Bills aren't end yeah, well when Cobb was

1734
01:23:15,840 --> 01:23:18,320
Speaker 1: out as well. So yeah, you think about it, John,

1735
01:23:18,360 --> 01:23:22,400
Speaker 1: I mean, other than Adams that they're really Jimmy Graham

1736
01:23:22,439 --> 01:23:25,000
Speaker 1: to me, is a fascinating story. I don't know what

1737
01:23:25,120 --> 01:23:27,800
Speaker 1: happened there, because look, he has the touchdown early, but

1738
01:23:27,920 --> 01:23:30,639
Speaker 1: he's had a lot of drops. He just doesn't book

1739
01:23:31,320 --> 01:23:35,000
Speaker 1: fully engaged and for such an intoxicating talent, and they

1740
01:23:35,280 --> 01:23:37,439
Speaker 1: have a pack of running backs that all seemed to

1741
01:23:37,520 --> 01:23:41,400
Speaker 1: make plays. Aaron Jones was probably the lightning bolt there,

1742
01:23:41,560 --> 01:23:45,320
Speaker 1: but beyond Adams and with Cobb down, it was somewhat

1743
01:23:45,360 --> 01:23:48,479
Speaker 1: comfortable in that department as well. Hey, having speaking to

1744
01:23:48,520 --> 01:23:50,439
Speaker 1: Jimmy Graham and the touchdown, the one that put him

1745
01:23:50,520 --> 01:23:52,680
Speaker 1: up six to nothing in the early part of the game,

1746
01:23:52,760 --> 01:23:54,920
Speaker 1: the first quarter, you got the sideline view, you probably

1747
01:23:54,920 --> 01:23:56,559
Speaker 1: had a pretty good look at that. A legal pick

1748
01:23:56,680 --> 01:23:59,479
Speaker 1: that was set by Allison on that play right well,

1749
01:24:00,360 --> 01:24:02,960
Speaker 1: and Steve can speak to this because you never know

1750
01:24:03,000 --> 01:24:04,360
Speaker 1: where you are. I actually I don't think I was

1751
01:24:04,479 --> 01:24:06,280
Speaker 1: right next to it, but I always kind of try

1752
01:24:06,280 --> 01:24:08,680
Speaker 1: and hustle to a monitor a book, and yeah, look

1753
01:24:08,760 --> 01:24:12,960
Speaker 1: it looked like it falls under that purview of the

1754
01:24:13,080 --> 01:24:16,120
Speaker 1: pick play. But in Tasker was in New England where

1755
01:24:16,120 --> 01:24:19,560
Speaker 1: they mastered it, it's all about did you mean to

1756
01:24:19,680 --> 01:24:22,840
Speaker 1: do it? Did you mean not to do it? I

1757
01:24:22,960 --> 01:24:25,599
Speaker 1: was thinking about that, you know, I was saying, Man, Yeah,

1758
01:24:25,640 --> 01:24:27,120
Speaker 1: I know, and the way home last night, I'm taking

1759
01:24:27,120 --> 01:24:28,920
Speaker 1: you know what, the only way to deal with picks

1760
01:24:29,000 --> 01:24:30,720
Speaker 1: that are not going to be called is to do

1761
01:24:30,840 --> 01:24:33,240
Speaker 1: it yourself. You said, picks on offense, right, See if

1762
01:24:33,240 --> 01:24:36,240
Speaker 1: you can get away with it, right, that's the best way. Yeah. Yeah,

1763
01:24:36,280 --> 01:24:38,599
Speaker 1: there's no doubt it was a pick play. And it's

1764
01:24:38,680 --> 01:24:42,439
Speaker 1: interesting because sometimes you see it called, it looks like

1765
01:24:42,640 --> 01:24:46,080
Speaker 1: the defender is more than a yard off the ball. Uh,

1766
01:24:46,360 --> 01:24:48,840
Speaker 1: And there's no question that the receiver is not making

1767
01:24:48,880 --> 01:24:52,320
Speaker 1: any attempts to get open um. I'd be interested to

1768
01:24:52,360 --> 01:24:54,000
Speaker 1: see what the league has to say about that and

1769
01:24:54,880 --> 01:24:57,360
Speaker 1: going forward whether that's going to be allowed. There's no

1770
01:24:57,520 --> 01:25:01,040
Speaker 1: question that lots of teams use that. I'm sure if

1771
01:25:01,080 --> 01:25:03,479
Speaker 1: the Bills probably got it in there repertoire as well,

1772
01:25:04,000 --> 01:25:07,880
Speaker 1: But there's no doubt there's just a flatten, out, out

1773
01:25:07,960 --> 01:25:10,559
Speaker 1: and out pick play and it turned into a touchdown.

1774
01:25:11,760 --> 01:25:15,519
Speaker 1: And if we've based off of the numbers, at least initially,

1775
01:25:15,600 --> 01:25:18,439
Speaker 1: I saw from yesterday that rocking the pastor things calmed down,

1776
01:25:18,520 --> 01:25:21,720
Speaker 1: I think we do need another rule that can kind

1777
01:25:21,760 --> 01:25:24,080
Speaker 1: of grab the national headline. So hey, let's make it

1778
01:25:24,200 --> 01:25:27,240
Speaker 1: the pick big play, don't bother way just set your

1779
01:25:27,280 --> 01:25:28,880
Speaker 1: own picks. You know. See if we didn't get away

1780
01:25:28,880 --> 01:25:30,519
Speaker 1: with Evan, what's your next game? What do you guys?

1781
01:25:30,600 --> 01:25:33,479
Speaker 1: What game does your crew have next week? We we're

1782
01:25:33,560 --> 01:25:36,920
Speaker 1: heading to New York for for Jets and Broncos, so

1783
01:25:37,200 --> 01:25:39,559
Speaker 1: it should be interesting to get a look at Sam

1784
01:25:39,640 --> 01:25:42,160
Speaker 1: Donald in person. And I'm just naking my way through

1785
01:25:42,280 --> 01:25:46,000
Speaker 1: his bag experience yesterday, and that's a brutal defense to

1786
01:25:46,080 --> 01:25:48,680
Speaker 1: go up against as a rookie. And the Broncos you're

1787
01:25:48,720 --> 01:25:51,080
Speaker 1: just kind of not sure at this point where they

1788
01:25:51,200 --> 01:25:53,640
Speaker 1: stand and and what's going to be a monster of

1789
01:25:53,680 --> 01:25:56,479
Speaker 1: an AFC wet. Yeah ye, Evan, thanks for this, good

1790
01:25:56,520 --> 01:25:57,800
Speaker 1: to talk to you. Good do I see on the

1791
01:25:57,840 --> 01:25:59,720
Speaker 1: sidelines area, so I hope we get to talk again.

1792
01:25:59,760 --> 01:26:02,639
Speaker 1: Thank Yeah, I appreciate it, guys. Good day. Evan Washburn

Speaker 1: Drive in. This is Buffalo Bills radio. They said, Montgomery

1799

Speaker 1: out slot receiver and left side Rogers takes ball, comes

1800
01:26:36,800 --> 01:26:38,479
Speaker 1: out as he's back to passing. The Bills may have

1801
01:26:38,560 --> 01:26:41,200
Speaker 1: recovered at the Green Bay forty eight. Big time up there.

1802
01:26:41,800 --> 01:26:44,640
Speaker 1: The ball knocked loose by Tehron Johnson, and then the

1803
01:26:44,720 --> 01:26:46,599
Speaker 1: big guys were down in there trying to cover up.

1804
01:26:47,400 --> 01:26:49,639
Speaker 1: That is the Advanced Alarmed defensive play of the game.

1808
01:26:57,680 --> 01:27:01,080
Speaker 1: fumbled by Johnson gets credit for the sack forces the fumble.

1809
01:27:01,360 --> 01:27:05,560
Speaker 1: Kyle Williams recovers as they said, m Evan Washburn a

1810
01:27:05,600 --> 01:27:08,599
Speaker 1: minute ago. And we've talked about the defense was okay yesterday,

1811
01:27:08,720 --> 01:27:10,760
Speaker 1: not great, but okay for the Bills yesterday. I thought

1812
01:27:11,439 --> 01:27:13,680
Speaker 1: you can win games like that. Yeah, that's all I

1813
01:27:13,720 --> 01:27:16,360
Speaker 1: can say. Your offense certainly would have to score twenty

1814
01:27:16,439 --> 01:27:20,040
Speaker 1: three points, but you know, the average league averages twenty

1815
01:27:20,080 --> 01:27:22,360
Speaker 1: seven or something. I mean, you know, good teams expect

1816
01:27:22,400 --> 01:27:24,439
Speaker 1: to have to score more than twenty points to win. Yeah,

1817
01:27:25,320 --> 01:27:27,720
Speaker 1: that's where you want it to be that's that's kind

1818
01:27:27,720 --> 01:27:30,760
Speaker 1: of the I don't know if you want to go

1819
01:27:30,800 --> 01:27:33,160
Speaker 1: into analytics or whatever that you hear the analytics guy's going,

1820
01:27:33,200 --> 01:27:35,960
Speaker 1: any team that scores twenty points should expect to win,

1821
01:27:36,040 --> 01:27:38,400
Speaker 1: and less than twenty points is a defensive win. So

1822
01:27:38,960 --> 01:27:41,719
Speaker 1: that's the line. And I think the Bills did that yesterday,

1823
01:27:41,800 --> 01:27:45,360
Speaker 1: particularly given the fact that they're you know, their office

1824
01:27:45,960 --> 01:27:49,320
Speaker 1: was struggling so badly. I mean, that's extra possessions. They

1825
01:27:49,400 --> 01:27:53,360
Speaker 1: lost the turnover battle and the defense did get two turnovers,

1826
01:27:53,400 --> 01:27:58,200
Speaker 1: so it was, yeah, I'm with you. I thought that.

1827
01:27:58,520 --> 01:28:00,720
Speaker 1: I think the defense is in a much better place

1828
01:28:00,760 --> 01:28:03,240
Speaker 1: than it was two weeks ago, three weeks ago, and

1829
01:28:03,520 --> 01:28:05,840
Speaker 1: I think they can feel pretty optimistic about their ability

1830
01:28:05,840 --> 01:28:08,000
Speaker 1: to compete the rest of the season. The offense another story,

1831
01:28:08,040 --> 01:28:09,760
Speaker 1: and that is the story of our Twitter poll today.

1832
01:28:09,800 --> 01:28:12,439
Speaker 1: Want to hear from you, pretty simple question, four games in,

1833
01:28:12,600 --> 01:28:15,200
Speaker 1: what's the biggest problem with the Buffalo Bills on offense?

1834
01:28:15,280 --> 01:28:18,040
Speaker 1: On the poll, forty nine percent of fifty percent of

1835
01:28:18,120 --> 01:28:22,080
Speaker 1: you essentially say limited receiving options. Huh. Twenty four percent

1836
01:28:22,120 --> 01:28:23,800
Speaker 1: of you have something else in mind. You say other,

1837
01:28:23,840 --> 01:28:25,639
Speaker 1: and we're thinking that might be an offensive we should

1838
01:28:25,640 --> 01:28:27,519
Speaker 1: have put offensive line there. I don't know why we didn't.

1839
01:28:27,680 --> 01:28:30,080
Speaker 1: Sixteen percent you didn't consult. Now we're in a hurry,

1840
01:28:30,120 --> 01:28:32,599
Speaker 1: we rush to our twitter pulls right. That's sixteen percent

1841
01:28:32,680 --> 01:28:35,559
Speaker 1: say the lack of run game. Eleven percent say Josh

1842
01:28:35,640 --> 01:28:37,479
Speaker 1: Allen's inexperience. What do you think give us a call

1843
01:28:37,560 --> 01:28:39,880
Speaker 1: eight O three oh five fifty or twelve three one

1844
01:28:40,000 --> 01:28:42,600
Speaker 1: eight eight eight five fifty two five fifty. Send us

1845
01:28:42,640 --> 01:28:44,559
Speaker 1: a tweet. Maybe Steve will read it from the tweet sheet.

1846
01:28:44,760 --> 01:28:46,800
Speaker 1: Let's we see Steve mcday. The biggest problem is the

1847
01:28:46,840 --> 01:28:48,800
Speaker 1: O line not giving Josh time to throw. He's a

1848
01:28:48,880 --> 01:28:51,160
Speaker 1: rookie so likely needs more time to process. But our

1849
01:28:51,240 --> 01:28:54,519
Speaker 1: line is giving him less than the league average added

1850
01:28:54,920 --> 01:28:57,320
Speaker 1: to the drops by the wide receivers. Not a good combination.

1851
01:28:57,479 --> 01:29:01,400
Speaker 1: Go bills from Scotland. Steve mcday release from across the pond.

1852
01:29:01,800 --> 01:29:05,200
Speaker 1: Steve Glick also chimes in, Shady is an East West

1853
01:29:05,280 --> 01:29:07,400
Speaker 1: runner and is and this line can't get to the

1854
01:29:07,479 --> 01:29:10,080
Speaker 1: second level to block. Better off with Ivory, who can

1855
01:29:10,160 --> 01:29:14,160
Speaker 1: pound between the tackles. So that's from Steve Glick thinking,

1856
01:29:15,000 --> 01:29:17,120
Speaker 1: you know, maybe Ivory should be the lead dog now

1857
01:29:17,160 --> 01:29:19,040
Speaker 1: in the running game. I think it's gonna take more

1858
01:29:19,080 --> 01:29:21,599
Speaker 1: than switching running backs. I think Shady looks fine if

1859
01:29:21,640 --> 01:29:23,160
Speaker 1: he gets a block of wild I knew too, and

1860
01:29:23,200 --> 01:29:24,880
Speaker 1: I was surprised too that it took me about three

1861
01:29:24,960 --> 01:29:27,040
Speaker 1: quarters of watching that game before I remembered here, like,

1862
01:29:27,040 --> 01:29:29,240
Speaker 1: oh yeah, he's got a bad rib, you know, And

1863
01:29:29,400 --> 01:29:31,479
Speaker 1: so he looked. He looked okay to me. I thought

1864
01:29:31,520 --> 01:29:33,599
Speaker 1: both those guys were Ivory and Shady, and we said

1865
01:29:33,600 --> 01:29:35,280
Speaker 1: this order in the show. I thought they both got

1866
01:29:35,320 --> 01:29:38,439
Speaker 1: the yards that were there. Certainly it's hard to make

1867
01:29:38,600 --> 01:29:42,320
Speaker 1: extra yards. He break two tackles or whatever, but I

1868
01:29:42,720 --> 01:29:44,920
Speaker 1: didn't have a problem with the way Ivory or Shady

1869
01:29:45,000 --> 01:29:47,040
Speaker 1: ran with the ball. I did have a problem with

1870
01:29:47,080 --> 01:29:48,599
Speaker 1: the room that was there when they got it. Also

1871
01:29:48,680 --> 01:29:51,559
Speaker 1: from the tweet sheet from steel Kilt, we asked the question,

1872
01:29:51,600 --> 01:29:53,679
Speaker 1: what's the biggest problem with the Buffalo Bills on Offen?

1873
01:29:53,760 --> 01:29:57,680
Speaker 1: Steelkilt says, definitely Josh Allen's inexperience. He didn't stick in

1874
01:29:57,720 --> 01:30:01,679
Speaker 1: the pocket long enough, made horrible decision and made atrocious passes.

1875
01:30:02,080 --> 01:30:04,160
Speaker 1: Steelkilt goes on to say, as they've said it out along,

1876
01:30:04,240 --> 01:30:06,000
Speaker 1: he should not be playing this year because he's not

1877
01:30:06,080 --> 01:30:09,320
Speaker 1: ready yet. Bad managing to get rid of mccaren. Well, again,

1878
01:30:09,600 --> 01:30:11,160
Speaker 1: we're looking at this in terms of a four game

1879
01:30:11,200 --> 01:30:13,559
Speaker 1: stretch and you're talking about yesterday, and I think overall,

1880
01:30:14,040 --> 01:30:16,360
Speaker 1: Josh Ellen shows demonstrated he's got a lot of work

1881
01:30:16,400 --> 01:30:17,960
Speaker 1: and a lot of improvement to come, but he had

1882
01:30:18,000 --> 01:30:21,719
Speaker 1: some good moments. He'll get better faster playing. Yes, exactly,

1883
01:30:21,920 --> 01:30:23,960
Speaker 1: he should not be playing because he's not ready yet. Well,

1884
01:30:24,400 --> 01:30:26,080
Speaker 1: if he doesn't play, he's not gonna be ready next

1885
01:30:26,160 --> 01:30:28,160
Speaker 1: year either. You know, you're gonna look you're gonna have

1886
01:30:28,200 --> 01:30:29,800
Speaker 1: to suffer through this a little bit. I think you're

1887
01:30:29,800 --> 01:30:31,920
Speaker 1: gonna have to know, and I think most of us do.

1888
01:30:32,120 --> 01:30:33,720
Speaker 1: You're gonna have to know that this is what you

1889
01:30:33,760 --> 01:30:35,519
Speaker 1: sign up for when you play a rookie quarterback. That's

1890
01:30:35,520 --> 01:30:37,160
Speaker 1: where they're at right and they're gonna be some games

1891
01:30:37,280 --> 01:30:39,120
Speaker 1: like that happened last week where the Bills are going

1892
01:30:39,160 --> 01:30:42,479
Speaker 1: to be able to score points more points than the opponents.

1893
01:30:42,520 --> 01:30:46,080
Speaker 1: There's gonna be more games like that in this season,

1894
01:30:46,160 --> 01:30:47,840
Speaker 1: and that's what you gotta look for. You gotta look

1895
01:30:47,880 --> 01:30:50,240
Speaker 1: for ways that you can finally find a way to

1896
01:30:50,320 --> 01:30:53,040
Speaker 1: get on the scoreboard. The Bills can do that. That's

1897
01:30:53,080 --> 01:30:54,639
Speaker 1: gonna be the difference, and there's gonna be some games

1898
01:30:54,640 --> 01:30:56,120
Speaker 1: where they can He'll turn out like it did a

1899
01:30:56,160 --> 01:30:58,560
Speaker 1: little bit more. I'm not saying they're gonna win, you know,

1900
01:30:59,240 --> 01:31:02,880
Speaker 1: twenty seven six a bunch this year, but there's gonna

1901
01:31:02,880 --> 01:31:04,960
Speaker 1: be weeks where that's how they're gonna win. They're gonna

1902
01:31:05,000 --> 01:31:06,680
Speaker 1: win when they can scores a few points, get a

1903
01:31:06,720 --> 01:31:09,280
Speaker 1: few breaks go their way, and their defense continues to

1904
01:31:09,360 --> 01:31:11,040
Speaker 1: play well like they have the last two weeks. A

1905
01:31:11,120 --> 01:31:13,120
Speaker 1: lot of response on this, more than twenty five hundred

1906
01:31:13,160 --> 01:31:16,400
Speaker 1: responses on Twitter and some phone calls. We're gonna get

1907
01:31:16,400 --> 01:31:17,920
Speaker 1: to more of those in the third and final hour

1908
01:31:17,960 --> 01:31:20,040
Speaker 1: of the show. The question what's the biggest problem with

1909
01:31:20,080 --> 01:31:22,720
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills on offense? Not just yesterday but four

1910
01:31:22,800 --> 01:31:24,720
Speaker 1: games so far. Give us a call or let us

1911

Speaker 1: know what you think. Friend Jackson's coming up at a

1912

1913
01:31:29,320 --> 01:31:31,519
Speaker 1: to join us to get his thoughts on yesterday's game

1914
01:31:31,560 --> 01:31:33,479
Speaker 1: and some other issues around the NFL. Come on back

1915
01:31:33,520 --> 01:31:35,439
Speaker 1: for that, Steve and I coming back for one more hour.

1916
01:31:35,560 --> 01:31:37,760
Speaker 1: One Bill's Life presented by a lot of health from

1917

Speaker 1: One Bill's Drive, and this is Buffalo Bills Radio Bufalo

Speaker 1: Bills Radio Network stories up date. Got to be a

1919
01:31:55,160 --> 01:31:57,880
Speaker 1: bounce back week for the Buffalo Bills after yesterday's twenty

1920
01:31:57,920 --> 01:31:59,719
Speaker 1: two and not they loss in Green Bay. The Bills

1921
01:31:59,760 --> 01:32:02,000
Speaker 1: lose three of their first four games this season, three

1922
01:32:02,040 --> 01:32:03,640
Speaker 1: of the first four games on the road. So far

1923
01:32:03,800 --> 01:32:06,720
Speaker 1: this season, seven of the remaining twelve games are at home.

1924
01:32:06,760 --> 01:32:08,880
Speaker 1: We'll see if that makes a difference. The Bills back

1925
01:32:08,920 --> 01:32:12,160
Speaker 1: here at work for conditioning and meeting time today. Head

1926

Speaker 1: coach Sean McDermott will address the media at four o'clock

1927
01:32:14,600 --> 01:32:17,160
Speaker 1: this afternoon. At that time he may update the status

1928
01:32:17,240 --> 01:32:20,200
Speaker 1: of safety Micah High, who left yesterday's game with a

1929
01:32:20,360 --> 01:32:23,120
Speaker 1: groin injury. Nowhere yet on how serious that is. We'll

1930
01:32:23,160 --> 01:32:25,120
Speaker 1: hear from head coach on McDermot at four o'clock today,

1931
01:32:25,200 --> 01:32:27,680
Speaker 1: maybe an update on that. Monday Night football Tonight, it's

1932
01:32:27,720 --> 01:32:30,080
Speaker 1: the three and o Kansas City Chiefs led by Patrick

1933
01:32:30,160 --> 01:32:32,760
Speaker 1: Mahomes at the two and one Denver Broncos. The Chiefs

1934
01:32:32,800 --> 01:32:35,120
Speaker 1: have scored thirty eight or more points in their first

1935
01:32:35,200 --> 01:32:38,040
Speaker 1: three games this year. That's the third team in NFL

1936
01:32:38,160 --> 01:32:40,599
Speaker 1: history to do that. They've won their last five games.

1937
01:32:40,680 --> 01:32:43,840
Speaker 1: The kickoff tonight eight, fifteen, Broncos Stadium at Mile Hi

1938
01:32:43,920 --> 01:32:46,559
Speaker 1: the Broncos at home against the Kansas City Chiefs. Frank

1939
01:32:46,600 --> 01:32:48,439
Speaker 1: Greig says he'd do it again. He said he'd do

1940
01:32:48,520 --> 01:32:50,760
Speaker 1: it ten out of ten times. Let's go for it

1941
01:32:50,840 --> 01:32:54,720
Speaker 1: on fourth down in overtime. Colts team had an aggressive

1942
01:32:54,760 --> 01:32:57,360
Speaker 1: approach and they had come back from a second half deficit.

1943
01:32:57,439 --> 01:32:59,880
Speaker 1: At fourth and fourth their own forty three went for it.

1944
01:33:00,040 --> 01:33:02,559
Speaker 1: It failed and they'd cost the Colts in their thirty

1945
01:33:02,600 --> 01:33:05,360
Speaker 1: seven thirty four overtime loss to the Houston Texans. Frank

1946
01:33:05,360 --> 01:33:08,200
Speaker 1: Craik says, I do it again. Wide receiver Josh Gordon

1947

Speaker 1: played yesterday for the Patriots in their big win against

1948
01:33:10,680 --> 01:33:13,360
Speaker 1: the Dolphins thirty eight seven victory over the Miami Dolphins.

1949
01:33:13,439 --> 01:33:15,640
Speaker 1: Gordon says he's trying to make the boast of his

1950
01:33:15,720 --> 01:33:18,280
Speaker 1: fresh start in the NFL. John Gruden has his first

1951
01:33:18,320 --> 01:33:20,479
Speaker 1: win since his return to the NFL as the Oakland

1953

Speaker 1: Browns in Oakland last night. Grudon's first win since November

1954
01:33:27,400 --> 01:33:29,000
Speaker 1: of two thousand and eight, when he was with the

1955
01:33:29,080 --> 01:33:33,640
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Seahawks back defensive back Earl Thomas. His

1956
01:33:33,760 --> 01:33:36,800
Speaker 1: season and maybe his career ended yesterday when he broke

1957
01:33:36,880 --> 01:33:39,400
Speaker 1: his leg in their win over the Arizona Cardinals. Thomas

1958
01:33:39,680 --> 01:33:42,879
Speaker 1: held off held out all offseason in protest of his contract,

1959
01:33:43,080 --> 01:33:44,760
Speaker 1: and when he was carted off the field, he gave

1960
01:33:44,800 --> 01:33:46,519
Speaker 1: the middle finger to what appeared to be in the

1961
01:33:46,600 --> 01:33:50,639
Speaker 1: direction of Seattle's sideline. Sabers in action the home opener

1965
01:33:58,880 --> 01:34:01,400
Speaker 1: That is the update from One Bill's Drive. John Murphy,

1966
01:34:01,479 --> 01:34:04,559
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker here in our one Buffalo Studio, joining us

1967
01:34:04,840 --> 01:34:06,519

1968
01:34:06,560 --> 01:34:08,840
Speaker 1: of Bills Tonight, which airs Sunday Night's eleven thirty on

1969
01:34:08,880 --> 01:34:11,320
Speaker 1: the MSG. He works with Mike Catalana on the show.

1970
01:34:11,600 --> 01:34:14,000
Speaker 1: The third all time leading rusher in Buffalo Bill's history.

1971
01:34:14,160 --> 01:34:16,080
Speaker 1: Happy to have Fred Jackson with us. High Fred, Welcome

1972
01:34:16,080 --> 01:34:18,599
Speaker 1: to the show. Hi guys, going, thanks for having me again.

1973
01:34:18,720 --> 01:34:20,160
Speaker 1: It's great to have you. I know you did the

1974
01:34:20,160 --> 01:34:22,000
Speaker 1: show yesterday with Mike, and I know you followed the

1975
01:34:22,000 --> 01:34:24,280
Speaker 1: Bills pretty closely to do that show and follow the

1976
01:34:24,400 --> 01:34:26,320
Speaker 1: NFL closely. I just wanted to remind people that you

1977
01:34:26,360 --> 01:34:29,120
Speaker 1: were the third leading rusher in NFL in Bill's history.

1978
01:34:29,160 --> 01:34:31,479
Speaker 1: That's pretty impressive. I think fifty years of Bill's history.

1979
01:34:32,600 --> 01:34:33,960
Speaker 1: It's a lot of fun to be able to say that.

1980
01:34:34,080 --> 01:34:36,400
Speaker 1: You know, when you have two guys like Thurman and

1981
01:34:36,720 --> 01:34:40,200
Speaker 1: OJ in front of you, it's always a being that company. Hey, Fred,

1982
01:34:40,200 --> 01:34:41,800
Speaker 1: always good to be in that company. I gotta ask

1983
01:34:41,840 --> 01:34:44,000
Speaker 1: you on the Skype and we got Fred on Skype

1984
01:34:44,080 --> 01:34:45,880
Speaker 1: and I don't know if you can see it on

1985
01:34:45,920 --> 01:34:49,320
Speaker 1: the MSG feed. You have an Aaron Rodgers jersey behind

1986
01:34:49,400 --> 01:34:52,400
Speaker 1: you in your den there? What is up with that? Fred?

1987
01:34:52,479 --> 01:34:55,400
Speaker 1: He just torched the bills yesterday. You know what it's

1988
01:34:55,960 --> 01:34:57,720
Speaker 1: all about? Respect? Man, Some of the guys that I

1989
01:34:57,800 --> 01:34:59,639
Speaker 1: have on my wall, and I have a few other

1990
01:34:59,680 --> 01:35:01,920
Speaker 1: walls that are up here to have some jersey on them. Uh,

1991
01:35:02,000 --> 01:35:03,880
Speaker 1: it's it's all the guys that I competed with and

1992
01:35:03,960 --> 01:35:05,640
Speaker 1: you know, had a lot of respect for, and you

1993
01:35:05,720 --> 01:35:07,759
Speaker 1: know they were kind enough to give me a jersey

1994
01:35:07,800 --> 01:35:10,200
Speaker 1: and write a little message on it, and uh, it's

1995
01:35:10,240 --> 01:35:11,920
Speaker 1: just a great way to remember that I was out

1996
01:35:11,920 --> 01:35:14,280
Speaker 1: there competing with someone Freddy, you don't have to apologize

1997
01:35:14,720 --> 01:35:17,040
Speaker 1: and skin about that stuff today. You could have taken

1998
01:35:17,080 --> 01:35:20,360
Speaker 1: it down today, could yeah, Yeah, probably could have taken

1999
01:35:20,400 --> 01:35:22,040
Speaker 1: it down today. You're right, Murph, I could have taken

2000
01:35:22,080 --> 01:35:23,600
Speaker 1: it down. He could have. But you don't have to

2001
01:35:25,000 --> 01:35:26,960
Speaker 1: talk a little bit about yesterday. I mean, we've had

2002
01:35:27,000 --> 01:35:29,080
Speaker 1: a we've got a putter pole. We've asked people what

2003
01:35:29,520 --> 01:35:31,360
Speaker 1: their thoughts about the Bill's offense, What are some of

2004
01:35:31,400 --> 01:35:33,240
Speaker 1: the struggles and where they would pin most of the

2005
01:35:33,320 --> 01:35:35,439
Speaker 1: blame if if blame is what you call it, What

2006
01:35:35,479 --> 01:35:37,040
Speaker 1: do they think the problems are with the offense? What

2007
01:35:37,080 --> 01:35:39,120
Speaker 1: about you? What do you think about the bills offense

2008
01:35:39,160 --> 01:35:41,960
Speaker 1: and where the problems lie? Uh? You know what? I

2009
01:35:42,080 --> 01:35:44,160
Speaker 1: think one of the things obvious things they gotta do

2010
01:35:44,240 --> 01:35:46,080
Speaker 1: is get the running game going. I think if you

2011
01:35:46,120 --> 01:35:47,960
Speaker 1: get that running game going, it takes a lot of

2012
01:35:47,960 --> 01:35:51,040
Speaker 1: pressure off of Josh, makes his life a lot easier.

2013
01:35:51,160 --> 01:35:54,920
Speaker 1: And along those lines, you gotta you make it easier

2014
01:35:54,960 --> 01:35:56,800
Speaker 1: for the receivers to get open downfield if you got

2015
01:35:57,240 --> 01:36:00,160
Speaker 1: dbs concentrating on them trying to make tackles. So I

2016
01:36:00,240 --> 01:36:02,679
Speaker 1: think if you get that running game established, you gotta

2017
01:36:02,720 --> 01:36:05,280
Speaker 1: have some guys that are gonna go downfield and make

2018
01:36:05,360 --> 01:36:08,559
Speaker 1: some plays on some fifty fifty balls and again give

2019
01:36:08,680 --> 01:36:11,439
Speaker 1: Josh some confidence in that, and I think it opens

2020
01:36:11,520 --> 01:36:13,120
Speaker 1: up the offense. You got a weapon like Shay, you

2021
01:36:13,160 --> 01:36:15,439
Speaker 1: gotta learn how to use him or or get him

2022
01:36:15,520 --> 01:36:17,519
Speaker 1: and get him going some kind of way. Fred, Where

2023
01:36:17,600 --> 01:36:19,320
Speaker 1: does it start though, to get a run game going?

2024
01:36:19,360 --> 01:36:21,840
Speaker 1: Does it start upfront offensive line? Or can the backs

2025
01:36:21,880 --> 01:36:24,840
Speaker 1: do something different? What do you think? Well, I mean,

2026
01:36:25,000 --> 01:36:27,360
Speaker 1: without a doubt, the most important place on offense or

2027
01:36:27,439 --> 01:36:30,000
Speaker 1: defense is the line. You know, Without those guys performing

2028
01:36:30,080 --> 01:36:32,960
Speaker 1: well and moving people off the ball, off the ball

2029
01:36:33,040 --> 01:36:35,719
Speaker 1: and creating running lanes, it's gonna be hard for anybody

2030
01:36:35,760 --> 01:36:37,920
Speaker 1: to move the ball. So, uh, that's something that they

2031
01:36:38,240 --> 01:36:40,200
Speaker 1: have to, you know, step up to that challenge. You

2032
01:36:40,280 --> 01:36:43,160
Speaker 1: know that the offense has been stagnant the past couple

2033
01:36:43,200 --> 01:36:46,080
Speaker 1: of weeks, and that starts with those guys. And I'm

2034
01:36:46,120 --> 01:36:48,599
Speaker 1: sure they're talking about that in the in the room today,

2035
01:36:48,800 --> 01:36:50,880
Speaker 1: you know, watching film, they're they're saying in themselves, we

2036
01:36:51,000 --> 01:36:54,080
Speaker 1: gotta get scenes moving so we can get these running

2037
01:36:54,120 --> 01:36:56,760
Speaker 1: backs going and make it easier for our quarterbacks throw

2038
01:36:56,800 --> 01:36:59,280
Speaker 1: the ball downfield. What do you see in Josh Allen

2039
01:36:59,360 --> 01:37:01,040
Speaker 1: and some of the problems he was having in the

2040
01:37:01,200 --> 01:37:04,080
Speaker 1: in the pocket yesterday, also the pressures that he faced,

2041
01:37:04,479 --> 01:37:06,840
Speaker 1: you know, and you know there were times when there's

2042
01:37:06,880 --> 01:37:09,640
Speaker 1: no question you could tell he was a rookie. But

2043
01:37:10,320 --> 01:37:13,920
Speaker 1: talk a little bit about the progress you're seeing if any. Yeah,

2044
01:37:14,000 --> 01:37:16,599
Speaker 1: I mean he's definitely making strides. One of the things

2045
01:37:16,680 --> 01:37:19,000
Speaker 1: that I think he needs to work on is there

2046
01:37:19,080 --> 01:37:21,680
Speaker 1: are times that he's been spooked when you know he

2047
01:37:21,800 --> 01:37:24,040
Speaker 1: has time to stand in the pocket and look down field.

2048
01:37:24,880 --> 01:37:27,200
Speaker 1: And I think that just comes along with being a rookie.

2049
01:37:27,479 --> 01:37:29,800
Speaker 1: You know. Uh, pockets aren't always going to be as

2050
01:37:29,880 --> 01:37:32,280
Speaker 1: clean as you would like them to be. But if

2051
01:37:32,360 --> 01:37:33,920
Speaker 1: you have time to just stand in there and keep

2052
01:37:33,920 --> 01:37:36,880
Speaker 1: your eyes down feel eventually the offensive line is working

2053
01:37:36,920 --> 01:37:39,400
Speaker 1: for you. Somebody's gonna come open. So as long as

2054
01:37:39,479 --> 01:37:41,759
Speaker 1: he's doing that standing in the pocket, you know, trusting

2055
01:37:41,840 --> 01:37:44,720
Speaker 1: his offensive line, and again, they have to give him

2056
01:37:44,800 --> 01:37:48,200
Speaker 1: reasons to do so. And when you give up five

2057
01:37:48,320 --> 01:37:50,040
Speaker 1: or six sacks a game, that's gonna be hard for

2058
01:37:50,120 --> 01:37:51,960
Speaker 1: somebody to do. But I think if he stands in

2059
01:37:52,040 --> 01:37:54,280
Speaker 1: there long enough, he'll be able to keep his eyes

2060
01:37:54,320 --> 01:37:57,439
Speaker 1: down fielding and see God's coming coming open for him.

2061
01:37:57,520 --> 01:38:00,000
Speaker 1: Talking to former Bill's running back Fred Jackson about yesterday

2062
01:38:00,040 --> 01:38:02,720
Speaker 1: days Bills game. Fred's co hosted Bills Tonight eleven thirty

2063
01:38:02,720 --> 01:38:06,040
Speaker 1: on Sundays on MSG along with Mike Catalina. Fred I

2064
01:38:06,120 --> 01:38:09,559
Speaker 1: was in a group of reporters standing around Lashawan McCoy

2065
01:38:09,680 --> 01:38:12,960
Speaker 1: talking with him yesterday. Clearly frustrated and he hasn't, you know,

2066
01:38:13,120 --> 01:38:16,680
Speaker 1: lashed out or said anything inappropriate. But it's got to

2067
01:38:16,720 --> 01:38:18,599
Speaker 1: be frustrating when you know that you can do much

2068
01:38:18,640 --> 01:38:20,559
Speaker 1: more and you just can't get it done for a team,

2069
01:38:20,640 --> 01:38:23,000
Speaker 1: right and look, this Bill's team shot out yesterday three

2070
01:38:23,080 --> 01:38:25,479
Speaker 1: points in the opener a couple of weeks ago in Baltimore.

2071
01:38:25,640 --> 01:38:27,200
Speaker 1: They got to know that that's not going to get

2072
01:38:27,240 --> 01:38:28,960
Speaker 1: it done. How do you handle that kind of frustration.

2073
01:38:30,080 --> 01:38:34,439
Speaker 1: It's definitely frustrating, as as somebody who who prided himself

2074
01:38:34,479 --> 01:38:36,240
Speaker 1: on scoring a lot of touchdowns and making a lot

2075
01:38:36,320 --> 01:38:38,840
Speaker 1: of big plays. You definitely want the ball in your hands.

2076
01:38:39,880 --> 01:38:41,439
Speaker 1: It's one of those things that you just got to

2077
01:38:41,520 --> 01:38:43,439
Speaker 1: keep coming to work. You know, you gotta keep showing

2078
01:38:44,560 --> 01:38:46,880
Speaker 1: your coaches at practice that you're still invested in this,

2079
01:38:47,520 --> 01:38:49,160
Speaker 1: show them why they need to get you the ball.

2080
01:38:49,240 --> 01:38:51,120
Speaker 1: And it's not like he hasn't done that before. So

2081
01:38:51,240 --> 01:38:53,600
Speaker 1: as long as he keeps coming to work when he

2082
01:38:53,720 --> 01:38:56,040
Speaker 1: does get the chance, you know, to have the ball

2083
01:38:56,120 --> 01:38:58,200
Speaker 1: in his hands on Sundays, go out there and make

2084
01:38:58,240 --> 01:39:00,400
Speaker 1: some explosive plays for him. They know what type of

2085
01:39:00,439 --> 01:39:03,040
Speaker 1: back he's capable of being. And I'm sorta just like

2086
01:39:03,160 --> 01:39:05,160
Speaker 1: we're talking about it. They're sitting in the film room

2087
01:39:05,240 --> 01:39:07,080
Speaker 1: talking about it as well. You know, anytime you got

2088
01:39:07,200 --> 01:39:09,920
Speaker 1: a guy like Sadie getting five carries, it's gonna be

2089
01:39:10,000 --> 01:39:12,560
Speaker 1: hard to beat anybody. So, uh, they're gonna make a

2090
01:39:12,640 --> 01:39:15,000
Speaker 1: conscienceness point to get him the ball more and you know,

2091
01:39:15,120 --> 01:39:17,080
Speaker 1: even get him some some passes out in space and

2092
01:39:17,160 --> 01:39:18,880
Speaker 1: let him do what he does. Talk a little bit

2093
01:39:18,880 --> 01:39:21,960
Speaker 1: about your leadership skills, Fred, and you'd be if put

2094
01:39:22,040 --> 01:39:23,880
Speaker 1: yourself in the Bill's locker room. How do you handle

2095
01:39:23,920 --> 01:39:27,280
Speaker 1: a young quarterback like Josh Allen knowing that it's imperative

2096
01:39:27,360 --> 01:39:30,080
Speaker 1: that he stays strong and stays confident even though he's

2097
01:39:30,080 --> 01:39:32,840
Speaker 1: struggling at times. Yeah, and you know, you gotta kind

2098
01:39:32,880 --> 01:39:35,120
Speaker 1: of let him know that it's expected and not to

2099
01:39:35,200 --> 01:39:37,599
Speaker 1: expect too much of himself while still pushing to get better.

2100
01:39:37,600 --> 01:39:40,519
Speaker 1: I mean, well, how do you handle making sure Josh

2101
01:39:40,600 --> 01:39:44,519
Speaker 1: Allen continues to develop and doesn't doesn't be you know,

2102
01:39:44,600 --> 01:39:48,479
Speaker 1: knocked down by what's happening around him. Well, I mean

2103
01:39:48,520 --> 01:39:50,080
Speaker 1: that's just it. You gotta let him know that you

2104
01:39:50,280 --> 01:39:52,439
Speaker 1: still have the confidence him come to get the job done.

2105
01:39:53,080 --> 01:39:55,439
Speaker 1: You gotta get that whole locker room to rally around him.

2106
01:39:55,560 --> 01:39:57,320
Speaker 1: Let him know that you still believe in what he's

2107
01:39:57,400 --> 01:40:00,559
Speaker 1: capable of doing. And um, when when time to make

2108
01:40:00,600 --> 01:40:02,439
Speaker 1: a play for him. You know, if if he makes

2109
01:40:02,439 --> 01:40:04,439
Speaker 1: a play or he throws a ball that's you know,

2110
01:40:04,560 --> 01:40:06,479
Speaker 1: not the greatest ball, you gotta go up and catch

2111
01:40:06,520 --> 01:40:08,040
Speaker 1: it for him and let him know that you're gonna

2112
01:40:08,040 --> 01:40:10,680
Speaker 1: be there and have his back. So you know what

2113
01:40:10,800 --> 01:40:13,280
Speaker 1: type of quarterback is. You got drafted in the first

2114
01:40:13,360 --> 01:40:16,720
Speaker 1: round for a reason, So you gotta stay in his ear.

2115
01:40:16,840 --> 01:40:18,720
Speaker 1: Let him know, look, man, we still believe in you.

2116
01:40:18,960 --> 01:40:21,519
Speaker 1: We haven't done our part as well. This isn't all

2117
01:40:21,600 --> 01:40:23,880
Speaker 1: on you number one. He has to believe that that

2118
01:40:23,960 --> 01:40:26,560
Speaker 1: it's not all on him. It's a team effort and

2119
01:40:26,640 --> 01:40:29,639
Speaker 1: we haven't done what we needed to do to help

2120
01:40:29,720 --> 01:40:32,599
Speaker 1: you win these games. So you stay with it. We'll

2121
01:40:32,640 --> 01:40:34,920
Speaker 1: stay with you, and we'll we'll keep going out here

2122
01:40:34,920 --> 01:40:39,040
Speaker 1: and we'll keep competing together. Hey, Fred, Josh Allen is

2123
01:40:39,120 --> 01:40:42,840
Speaker 1: one of what four first round quarterbacks currently starting for

2124
01:40:42,880 --> 01:40:44,880
Speaker 1: their team. And a lot of interesting stories, a lot

2125
01:40:44,920 --> 01:40:46,800
Speaker 1: of different things going on with this group, and they

2126
01:40:46,840 --> 01:40:49,240
Speaker 1: seem to all have ups and downs. Josh Allen had

2127
01:40:49,280 --> 01:40:51,880
Speaker 1: his down game yesterday. Josh Rosen made his first start

2128
01:40:52,000 --> 01:40:55,120
Speaker 1: yesterday for Arizona against Seattle. They lost, But it's interesting

2129
01:40:55,160 --> 01:40:57,000
Speaker 1: to follow these guys, and I thought Rosen looked pretty

2130
01:40:57,000 --> 01:41:00,360
Speaker 1: solid in his first NFL start yesterday. It is and

2131
01:41:00,680 --> 01:41:02,880
Speaker 1: it's always gonna be fun to watch, you know, rookie

2132
01:41:02,960 --> 01:41:04,920
Speaker 1: quarterbacks in their first year, because there are gonna be

2133
01:41:05,040 --> 01:41:06,920
Speaker 1: ups and downs. There's gonna be plays that they make

2134
01:41:07,439 --> 01:41:09,840
Speaker 1: that you're gonna say, you know, he made that play

2135
01:41:09,880 --> 01:41:12,519
Speaker 1: strictly because he's a rookie. When you see a pass

2136
01:41:12,640 --> 01:41:15,880
Speaker 1: like Jos Thorn before halftime and it gets intercepted, that's

2137
01:41:16,240 --> 01:41:19,040
Speaker 1: a rookie mistake. So you live and die with those

2138
01:41:19,360 --> 01:41:22,960
Speaker 1: um and you know, Rosen is another one of those guys. Uh,

2139
01:41:23,080 --> 01:41:25,519
Speaker 1: he's gonna progress. You know, he's got some guys around him,

2140
01:41:25,560 --> 01:41:28,280
Speaker 1: He's got some good weapons around them, and David Johnson.

2141
01:41:28,360 --> 01:41:30,640
Speaker 1: You know Larry fitz Jill, you know, still in what

2142
01:41:30,800 --> 01:41:33,400
Speaker 1: I think his fifteenth year, still makes plays for those guys,

2143
01:41:33,439 --> 01:41:36,120
Speaker 1: and they'll do some learning from guys like that, and

2144
01:41:36,840 --> 01:41:38,880
Speaker 1: anytime they get a chance to step on the field,

2145
01:41:38,920 --> 01:41:40,680
Speaker 1: it'll be a learning opportunity for him and they're just

2146
01:41:40,720 --> 01:41:44,800
Speaker 1: gonna keep getting better. Also telling your thoughts on also

2147
01:41:44,880 --> 01:41:47,200
Speaker 1: in that game, did you see Earl Thomas Seahawk safety

2148
01:41:47,280 --> 01:41:50,600
Speaker 1: gets hurt? Pretty serious injury season most likely over, but

2149
01:41:51,320 --> 01:41:54,800
Speaker 1: just an inappropriate reaction I guess, you know, flips off,

2150
01:41:54,840 --> 01:41:56,920
Speaker 1: I guess his own bench because he's mad about his contract.

2151
01:41:57,160 --> 01:41:59,120
Speaker 1: I hate to see that, Fred, I really do. Yeah,

2152
01:41:59,800 --> 01:42:02,960
Speaker 1: it's a tough situation to see one because you know,

2153
01:42:03,080 --> 01:42:05,600
Speaker 1: I know Earl and I know how emotional he is.

2154
01:42:05,720 --> 01:42:09,120
Speaker 1: He's a guy that plays with his emotions, he feeds

2155
01:42:09,200 --> 01:42:11,479
Speaker 1: off of them, and you know, to be in that situation,

2156
01:42:11,560 --> 01:42:13,360
Speaker 1: I'm sure he was emotional in that as well, and

2157
01:42:14,120 --> 01:42:16,080
Speaker 1: I think he let his emotions get the best of him.

2158
01:42:16,840 --> 01:42:20,440
Speaker 1: But you know, it's clearly clear that he was frustrated

2159
01:42:20,479 --> 01:42:22,240
Speaker 1: and he kind of felt like he was in a

2160
01:42:22,320 --> 01:42:25,360
Speaker 1: situation he didn't need to be in. And you know,

2161
01:42:26,120 --> 01:42:28,519
Speaker 1: with the backlash that's gonna come with flipping the team off.

2162
01:42:28,600 --> 01:42:31,160
Speaker 1: And you hear Pete saying, you know, he doesn't think

2163
01:42:31,200 --> 01:42:34,360
Speaker 1: that it's he doesn't know who he was directing it towards.

2164
01:42:34,400 --> 01:42:37,760
Speaker 1: It's a big stadium, he said. But you hate to

2165
01:42:37,800 --> 01:42:41,200
Speaker 1: see things like that, and you hope the best comes

2166
01:42:41,240 --> 01:42:45,439
Speaker 1: from the situation and hope it gets resolved here quickly.

2167
01:42:45,600 --> 01:42:46,800
Speaker 1: I hate to see that. You know, there was an

2168
01:42:46,840 --> 01:42:48,360
Speaker 1: incident a couple of Monday nights to Go I think

2169
01:42:48,360 --> 01:42:50,280
Speaker 1: it was a couple of weeks ago Cleveland and they're

2170
01:42:50,320 --> 01:42:53,439
Speaker 1: running back Isaiah Crowell scored a touch No, I'm sorry,

2171
01:42:53,600 --> 01:42:56,200
Speaker 1: he scored a touchdown in Cleveland, right, and he made

2172
01:42:56,200 --> 01:42:58,760
Speaker 1: a gesture with the football that was totally inappropriate. Look,

2173
01:42:58,800 --> 01:43:01,120
Speaker 1: I know there's a lot of emotions and pend up

2174
01:43:01,120 --> 01:43:04,240
Speaker 1: emotions sometimes, but you can't do that. You can't. You're

2175
01:43:04,320 --> 01:43:06,640
Speaker 1: disrespecting the fans. I think when you do stuff like that,

2176
01:43:06,760 --> 01:43:10,080
Speaker 1: even flipping off your own team, if that's what a team, yeah,

2177
01:43:10,200 --> 01:43:13,280
Speaker 1: it's I mean, at some point you just have to

2178
01:43:13,400 --> 01:43:16,000
Speaker 1: understand that. You know, you're you got kids watching you,

2179
01:43:16,080 --> 01:43:18,559
Speaker 1: and I think once you realize that and you put

2180
01:43:18,640 --> 01:43:21,559
Speaker 1: that above everything is you got these young young kids

2181
01:43:21,600 --> 01:43:24,080
Speaker 1: out here following your career, and uh, you want to

2182
01:43:24,120 --> 01:43:26,400
Speaker 1: put that above everything, and you don't want to be

2183
01:43:26,520 --> 01:43:29,280
Speaker 1: known for, you know, some some emotional jesure that you

2184
01:43:29,360 --> 01:43:31,800
Speaker 1: make towards you know, a team or or a former team,

2185
01:43:31,920 --> 01:43:33,479
Speaker 1: or one of the other things that's going on around

2186
01:43:33,479 --> 01:43:36,600
Speaker 1: the NFL. Mitch Trubisky had a kind of a breakout

2187
01:43:36,720 --> 01:43:39,200
Speaker 1: game for the Chicago Bears against Tampa Bay and also

2188
01:43:39,320 --> 01:43:44,639
Speaker 1: Fits Magic and Jamis Winston h struggled going with Chicago

2189
01:43:44,760 --> 01:43:47,160
Speaker 1: in that game. They absolutely got trounced. Did the Tampa

2190
01:43:47,200 --> 01:43:50,080
Speaker 1: Bay Buccaneers talk about mister Bisky and also what's going

2191
01:43:50,120 --> 01:43:52,519
Speaker 1: on with the two quarterbacks Jamis Winston and our friend

2192
01:43:52,680 --> 01:43:56,120
Speaker 1: Ryan Fitzpatrick. Yeah, you know it's I think you just

2193
01:43:56,160 --> 01:43:58,600
Speaker 1: gotta give Trubisky credit. You know, he came in, they

2194
01:43:58,680 --> 01:44:00,960
Speaker 1: saw things on film that they wanted to take advantage

2195
01:44:01,000 --> 01:44:04,120
Speaker 1: of and they were able to do so. I think

2196
01:44:04,160 --> 01:44:06,360
Speaker 1: he had a lot of help. He threw six touchdowns

2197
01:44:06,400 --> 01:44:10,960
Speaker 1: to five different people. That's just great bald distribution. And

2198
01:44:11,040 --> 01:44:13,280
Speaker 1: anytime you're able to do that and guys around you're

2199
01:44:13,360 --> 01:44:16,839
Speaker 1: making plays and you got five different people you're throwing touchdowns,

2200
01:44:16,880 --> 01:44:19,599
Speaker 1: So it's gonna be hard to beat anybody. And as

2201
01:44:19,680 --> 01:44:23,000
Speaker 1: far as a quarterback situation, I think, you know, unfortunately,

2202
01:44:23,560 --> 01:44:25,240
Speaker 1: uh Fitz took a lot of brunt of that. But

2203
01:44:25,439 --> 01:44:27,920
Speaker 1: when you got a defense that's giving up that many points,

2204
01:44:28,400 --> 01:44:30,040
Speaker 1: I think you need to be looking at what's going

2205
01:44:30,120 --> 01:44:32,240
Speaker 1: on the defensive side of the ball and not the quarterback.

2206
01:44:33,240 --> 01:44:35,800
Speaker 1: But obviously, you know, this is a quarterback driven league,

2207
01:44:35,840 --> 01:44:38,559
Speaker 1: and when you're not producing and you're not putting up points,

2208
01:44:38,600 --> 01:44:41,000
Speaker 1: they're gonna try and get to somebody who who can

2209
01:44:41,240 --> 01:44:44,120
Speaker 1: or they may think and put up points. And that

2210
01:44:44,280 --> 01:44:46,200
Speaker 1: was the whole point of bringing Jami's out there. So

2211
01:44:46,960 --> 01:44:49,640
Speaker 1: we'll see what they do going forward. You know, I

2212
01:44:49,840 --> 01:44:52,120
Speaker 1: was really enjoying what Fitz was doing, obviously being a

2213
01:44:52,200 --> 01:44:55,439
Speaker 1: close friend of his. But I know him, he'll he'll

2214
01:44:55,479 --> 01:44:57,560
Speaker 1: continue to roll with the punches and we'll see what

2215
01:44:57,640 --> 01:45:01,040
Speaker 1: happens and what they decided to do out in Tampa Bay. Yep. Also,

2216
01:45:01,680 --> 01:45:04,840
Speaker 1: the Indianapolis Colts decided to go for it on fourth down.

2217
01:45:04,920 --> 01:45:08,000
Speaker 1: They're into the field in overtime with time running out.

2218
01:45:08,560 --> 01:45:11,800
Speaker 1: What do you think about that call by Frank w Reich.

2219
01:45:13,000 --> 01:45:15,040
Speaker 1: You know what, I love it, you know, I think

2220
01:45:15,120 --> 01:45:17,519
Speaker 1: it's one of those things where he's he came out

2221
01:45:17,560 --> 01:45:19,599
Speaker 1: and said it. He's like, I wasn't playing the tie,

2222
01:45:19,760 --> 01:45:21,960
Speaker 1: you know, I was playing to win the game. I

2223
01:45:22,080 --> 01:45:24,720
Speaker 1: think as a player on that team, you respect what

2224
01:45:24,800 --> 01:45:26,639
Speaker 1: he did for you. You know, he said, I want

2225
01:45:26,640 --> 01:45:28,280
Speaker 1: to put this guy. I believe in you guys. I

2226
01:45:28,360 --> 01:45:30,200
Speaker 1: believe in you as as players that you can go

2227
01:45:30,280 --> 01:45:32,320
Speaker 1: out and you can have an opportunity to win this game.

2228
01:45:32,360 --> 01:45:35,920
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna give you guys that opportunity. So you know,

2229
01:45:36,000 --> 01:45:38,920
Speaker 1: in doing that, you live and die with whatever you

2230
01:45:39,000 --> 01:45:42,439
Speaker 1: know happens with that outcome. I think as a player,

2231
01:45:42,840 --> 01:45:45,479
Speaker 1: you didn't get the job done. So you gotta take,

2232
01:45:45,760 --> 01:45:47,559
Speaker 1: you know, a lot of that blame. You gotta take

2233
01:45:47,600 --> 01:45:49,600
Speaker 1: to blame off of your coach. You gotta say, you

2234
01:45:49,680 --> 01:45:51,640
Speaker 1: know what, he believed in us, believed in us to

2235
01:45:51,680 --> 01:45:53,400
Speaker 1: get the job done, and we didn't go out there

2236
01:45:53,400 --> 01:45:57,760
Speaker 1: and get it done. So it's not only his fault

2237
01:45:57,920 --> 01:46:00,400
Speaker 1: or we can't be just were talking about call. We

2238
01:46:00,439 --> 01:46:02,799
Speaker 1: got to talk about us not getting the fourth down conversion.

2239
01:46:02,880 --> 01:46:05,600
Speaker 1: So um again, as a player, if I'm in that

2240
01:46:05,720 --> 01:46:08,479
Speaker 1: locker room, uh, you know, I'm telling everybody, you know,

2241
01:46:08,560 --> 01:46:10,360
Speaker 1: it was on us more than it was our coach

2242
01:46:10,439 --> 01:46:11,880
Speaker 1: for not getting the job. What do you think of

2243
01:46:11,920 --> 01:46:14,320
Speaker 1: that move? I agree with it. He gave you a chance.

2244
01:46:14,680 --> 01:46:17,640
Speaker 1: It's got less than a minute to go in overtime

2245
01:46:17,680 --> 01:46:19,320
Speaker 1: and you got a fourth and four. You're gonna punt

2246
01:46:19,320 --> 01:46:21,840
Speaker 1: it away and ensure that you're gonna tie the game? Yep.

2247
01:46:21,960 --> 01:46:24,160
Speaker 1: And a tie is better than a lost, Steve, You're

2248
01:46:24,200 --> 01:46:26,639
Speaker 1: not there to tie. You gotta not there to lose.

2249
01:46:26,760 --> 01:46:28,680
Speaker 1: You got when it's all said and done that there

2250
01:46:28,680 --> 01:46:31,960
Speaker 1: could they still had another play to defend to keep

2251
01:46:32,040 --> 01:46:33,960
Speaker 1: him from getting to the fourth first down marker too.

2252
01:46:34,000 --> 01:46:36,760
Speaker 1: I mean there could be a playoff tiebreaker decided on that.

2253
01:46:36,920 --> 01:46:38,840
Speaker 1: Oh we lost that game instead of tying that game?

2254
01:46:38,880 --> 01:46:40,960
Speaker 1: And then what Frank Creig? And look, I love Frank Craig,

2255
01:46:41,120 --> 01:46:43,760
Speaker 1: and I love that he's bold. And he came out

2256
01:46:43,800 --> 01:46:45,640
Speaker 1: and said it, as Fred said, I do that ten

2257
01:46:45,720 --> 01:46:47,800
Speaker 1: times out of ten. But a tie, you know, you

2258
01:46:47,840 --> 01:46:49,400
Speaker 1: can say you don't want to play for a tie. Well,

2259
01:46:49,680 --> 01:46:52,559
Speaker 1: the tie is better than a loss. I'll take decision.

2260
01:46:52,640 --> 01:46:55,040
Speaker 1: That play that we just showed on Nimus Genos, that

2261
01:46:55,200 --> 01:46:58,680
Speaker 1: was a horrible throw by Andrew Luck. Yeah, it's a

2262
01:46:58,760 --> 01:47:01,160
Speaker 1: horrible throw. You out You got one of the hottest

2263
01:47:01,240 --> 01:47:02,800
Speaker 1: quarterbacks in the league. And he throws it in the

2264
01:47:02,920 --> 01:47:05,479
Speaker 1: dirt inside on a fourth and four where the guy

2265
01:47:05,600 --> 01:47:07,720
Speaker 1: had separation, throw it to the throw it to the

2266
01:47:07,840 --> 01:47:11,200
Speaker 1: boundary chest hie outside and the guy makes the catch,

2267
01:47:11,479 --> 01:47:13,640
Speaker 1: and you keep going. Andrew Luck throws that on the

2268
01:47:13,760 --> 01:47:16,120
Speaker 1: ground at the defender's feet. Maybe what are you doing?

2269
01:47:16,280 --> 01:47:17,680
Speaker 1: Maybe his coach should not have put him in a

2270
01:47:17,760 --> 01:47:20,160
Speaker 1: position to need to make that play. That's what I'm saying,

2271
01:47:20,520 --> 01:47:22,080
Speaker 1: the coach, do you need to make it or not?

2272
01:47:22,240 --> 01:47:26,240
Speaker 1: He couldn't. He didn't missed him. You know, well, if

2273
01:47:26,280 --> 01:47:28,519
Speaker 1: it's just to extend the game, what if it was

2274
01:47:28,560 --> 01:47:30,200
Speaker 1: what if it was for to keep him going for

2275
01:47:30,280 --> 01:47:33,040
Speaker 1: the tie? He still doesn't make that. You gotta get listen.

2276
01:47:33,080 --> 01:47:35,080
Speaker 1: You're a head coach. Give your guys a chance to win,

2277
01:47:35,280 --> 01:47:37,880
Speaker 1: and they got to come through for if they don't listen,

2278
01:47:38,240 --> 01:47:39,840
Speaker 1: you gotta show him to show the faith. And I

2279
01:47:39,840 --> 01:47:41,720
Speaker 1: don't have a problem with that at all. Your thoughts, Fred,

2280
01:47:42,760 --> 01:47:46,160
Speaker 1: I agree. I think you know one if if Andrew

2281
01:47:46,240 --> 01:47:48,479
Speaker 1: makes a better throw, you know what, they're they're still

2282
01:47:48,560 --> 01:47:52,160
Speaker 1: going too. It's still under a minute left. On defense.

2283
01:47:52,280 --> 01:47:54,479
Speaker 1: You get a stop. You make one stop in bounds,

2284
01:47:54,479 --> 01:47:56,160
Speaker 1: the clock runs out, you don't have to worry about

2285
01:47:56,160 --> 01:47:58,720
Speaker 1: them kicking the field goal. So again, it's all on

2286
01:47:58,800 --> 01:48:02,120
Speaker 1: the players. If the players execute, coaches are going to

2287
01:48:02,200 --> 01:48:04,920
Speaker 1: take a lot of get a lot of the blame,

2288
01:48:05,000 --> 01:48:07,400
Speaker 1: but the players that deserve a lot of the blame

2289
01:48:07,400 --> 01:48:09,439
Speaker 1: as well. Well, I disagree with you, guys, and I

2290
01:48:09,520 --> 01:48:11,479
Speaker 1: get it, and I love Frank Reich. Before you get

2291
01:48:11,520 --> 01:48:12,960
Speaker 1: a chance to win, though, you gotta make sure you

2292
01:48:13,000 --> 01:48:16,320
Speaker 1: don't lose. And by making that call going forward on

2293
01:48:16,400 --> 01:48:19,160
Speaker 1: fourth and three from his home forty three, Frank Reich

2294
01:48:19,479 --> 01:48:21,800
Speaker 1: started the chain of events in motion. I agree with

2295
01:48:21,880 --> 01:48:23,720
Speaker 1: both of you. They got to make plays, but he

2296
01:48:23,800 --> 01:48:26,760
Speaker 1: started the chain of events in motion, including the luck,

2297
01:48:26,840 --> 01:48:29,000
Speaker 1: bad pass and the bad playing defense for them to lose.

2298
01:48:29,120 --> 01:48:31,400
Speaker 1: Before you can win a game, you gotta not lose.

2299
01:48:31,439 --> 01:48:33,519
Speaker 1: And I think Frank started that whole thing, in that

2300
01:48:33,640 --> 01:48:37,439
Speaker 1: whole process. Yeah, well listen, it's a it's a you

2301
01:48:37,520 --> 01:48:41,840
Speaker 1: gotta make one of the calls. And so they tie, Okay, great,

2302
01:48:42,560 --> 01:48:45,080
Speaker 1: Frank Reich's a great coach because he punted the ball away.

2303
01:48:45,200 --> 01:48:47,840
Speaker 1: That's and I disagree his team might be in the

2304
01:48:47,840 --> 01:48:50,360
Speaker 1: playoffs because of a tie, and said alone after four weeks.

2305
01:48:50,400 --> 01:48:53,920
Speaker 1: There's gonna be fifty thousand other opportunities to get into players. Yeah,

2306
01:48:54,160 --> 01:48:56,600
Speaker 1: I agree, And you know what, they go on, go

2307
01:48:56,720 --> 01:48:58,320
Speaker 1: forward on fourth down, they get it, go down and

2308
01:48:58,360 --> 01:49:00,000
Speaker 1: stick a field goal. We have in a different convers

2309
01:49:00,400 --> 01:49:02,800
Speaker 1: that's right, You're right, all right, hey, Fred, thanks for this.

2310
01:49:02,960 --> 01:49:04,559
Speaker 1: We look forward to talking to you again next week.

2311
01:49:04,680 --> 01:49:06,439
Speaker 1: Keep up the good work on Bills tonight. We'll talk

2312
01:49:06,520 --> 01:49:09,320
Speaker 1: next Monday. Thank you sounds good. Thanks for having guys.

2313
01:49:09,400 --> 01:49:12,240
Speaker 1: Fred Jackson, longtime Bill's running back, third all time rusher

2314
01:49:12,320 --> 01:49:15,000
Speaker 1: and franchise history. He is co host with Mike Catalana

2318
01:49:23,880 --> 01:49:26,040
Speaker 1: got plenty of opinions and it's a good show to

2319
01:49:26,080 --> 01:49:28,720
Speaker 1: watch eleven thirty on Sundays. This is a good show

2320
01:49:28,720 --> 01:49:30,280
Speaker 1: to watch and listen to as well. I think it's

01:49:30,280 --> 01:49:33,600
Speaker 1: pretty good show. My mom and dad agreed. Steve and

2325
01:49:41,640 --> 01:49:44,599

2326
01:49:44,680 --> 01:49:48,120
Speaker 1: the offense that could not squeeze out a drop yesterday

2327
01:49:48,160 --> 01:49:51,040
Speaker 1: they lost twenty two to nothing to the Green Bay Packers.

2328
01:49:51,120 --> 01:49:52,519
Speaker 1: We want to know from you when you look at

2329
01:49:52,520 --> 01:49:55,320
Speaker 1: the Buffalo offense through four games, not just yesterday, through

2330
01:49:55,360 --> 01:49:57,559
Speaker 1: the first quarter of the season, what's the biggest problem

2331
01:49:57,640 --> 01:50:00,639
Speaker 1: you see with the Buffalo offense? On Twitter? Amazing response.

2332
01:50:00,680 --> 01:50:03,639
Speaker 1: About twenty eight hundred people have chimed in on Twitter.

2333
01:50:03,920 --> 01:50:06,559
Speaker 1: Half of them say limited receiving options is the number

2334
01:50:06,560 --> 01:50:09,519
Speaker 1: one problem with the Buffalo offense. Twenty three percent have

2335
01:50:09,640 --> 01:50:11,519
Speaker 1: something else in mind. We're guessing they are looking at

2336
01:50:11,560 --> 01:50:14,160
Speaker 1: the offensive line. Sixteen percent say the lack of the

2337
01:50:14,240 --> 01:50:17,240
Speaker 1: run game. Eleven percent say Josh Allenson experience. What do

2341
01:50:25,120 --> 01:50:27,320
Speaker 1: ending something that we can read on the tweet sheet.

2342
01:50:27,439 --> 01:50:30,679
Speaker 1: I'm from the tweet sheet. Rob Read chimes in says,

2343
01:50:30,720 --> 01:50:32,840
Speaker 1: what about getting plays called quicker so we can get

2344
01:50:32,880 --> 01:50:34,920
Speaker 1: to the line and have day ball still talking to

2345
01:50:35,040 --> 01:50:37,559
Speaker 1: Josh the way Sean mcvayh does with Goff. That means

2346
01:50:37,600 --> 01:50:40,799
Speaker 1: Sean McVay and Jared Goff out in the Los Angeles.

2347
01:50:41,120 --> 01:50:42,320
Speaker 1: One of the things they do is they get their

2348
01:50:42,360 --> 01:50:44,200
Speaker 1: plays called quickly so that the quarterback can go to

2349
01:50:44,240 --> 01:50:46,920
Speaker 1: the line and their radio in his head is still

2350
01:50:47,000 --> 01:50:49,280
Speaker 1: on until fifteen seconds left in the play clock, so

2351
01:50:49,360 --> 01:50:51,040
Speaker 1: the coach can keep talking to him. He don't have

2352
01:50:51,040 --> 01:50:52,720
Speaker 1: to just call to play and shut up. He can

2353
01:50:52,800 --> 01:50:55,040
Speaker 1: say whatever he wants. He say, hey, look at the defense.

2354
01:50:55,120 --> 01:50:57,439
Speaker 1: The safety's walking out. He can do that too. And

2355
01:50:57,560 --> 01:50:59,880
Speaker 1: I hear that. And we've heard some things, and sometimes

2356
01:51:00,000 --> 01:51:02,200
Speaker 1: when we read some of these things from the tweet sheet,

2357
01:51:02,439 --> 01:51:05,040
Speaker 1: it's because we've gotten a lot of responses along those lines.

2358
01:51:05,080 --> 01:51:09,160
Speaker 1: We'll finally, we'll let those guys chime in in this case,

2359
01:51:09,360 --> 01:51:11,560
Speaker 1: this no huddle, maybe get into the line quicker and

2360
01:51:11,640 --> 01:51:13,920
Speaker 1: letting Josh Allen stand there and have Brian Dayball do

2361
01:51:14,120 --> 01:51:16,160
Speaker 1: his thinking a little bit for him. I get that,

2362
01:51:16,280 --> 01:51:18,760
Speaker 1: but it's also it's not just about that. It's not

2363
01:51:19,080 --> 01:51:21,200
Speaker 1: that Josh Allen would be in a vacuum and day

2364
01:51:21,240 --> 01:51:22,880
Speaker 1: Ball would be in a vacuum. Being able to do

2365
01:51:23,000 --> 01:51:26,080
Speaker 1: that it also puts one more thing on the plate

2366
01:51:26,120 --> 01:51:29,800
Speaker 1: a Josh Allen to snap the ball, quicker to recognize it,

2367
01:51:29,880 --> 01:51:33,000
Speaker 1: quicker to assimilate what's being said in his head. Quicker.

2368
01:51:33,160 --> 01:51:34,840
Speaker 1: I think it's just one more thing on his plate

2369
01:51:35,000 --> 01:51:36,240
Speaker 1: right now. I don't know. I don't know if that's

2370
01:51:36,240 --> 01:51:40,360
Speaker 1: a good idea. I'm as big a fan as anybody

2371
01:51:40,520 --> 01:51:44,280
Speaker 1: of picking up the pace and going fast, given the

2372
01:51:44,400 --> 01:51:46,599
Speaker 1: success that teams that I was on in the past

2373
01:51:46,880 --> 01:51:49,760
Speaker 1: have had doing that. It was a different scenario, it

2374
01:51:49,840 --> 01:51:51,880
Speaker 1: was different people, it was a different time in the league.

2375
01:51:52,040 --> 01:51:53,760
Speaker 1: It was not a rookie quarterback, and it wasn't It

2376
01:51:53,840 --> 01:51:57,400
Speaker 1: wasn't It was far from a rookie quarterback. So I'm

2377
01:51:57,400 --> 01:51:59,360
Speaker 1: all about pace and doing all that, but I don't

2378
01:51:59,400 --> 01:52:02,400
Speaker 1: know that with this group. Let's face it, it's not

2379
01:52:02,560 --> 01:52:04,920
Speaker 1: just Josh Allen getting him fit. It's getting the rest

2380
01:52:04,920 --> 01:52:07,120
Speaker 1: of those guys going to it. And you don't want

2381
01:52:07,160 --> 01:52:10,040
Speaker 1: too many thirteen second drives like they had once this

2382
01:52:10,240 --> 01:52:12,400
Speaker 1: last week, And that might, it might can be a

2383
01:52:12,479 --> 01:52:16,880
Speaker 1: conducive factor to having shorter and shorter playtime and clock

2384
01:52:17,000 --> 01:52:19,960
Speaker 1: management and time of possession than even now. Also from

2385
01:52:20,000 --> 01:52:22,920
Speaker 1: the tweet sheet from Stewart Franklin. He says, Josh Allen

2386
01:52:23,080 --> 01:52:25,840
Speaker 1: is simply not ready yet. The defense took over last

2387
01:52:25,880 --> 01:52:28,320
Speaker 1: week against Minnesota. Can't blame the offensive line and run

2388
01:52:28,439 --> 01:52:30,840
Speaker 1: game if he's not able to get the passing game going, well,

2389
01:52:31,160 --> 01:52:35,080
Speaker 1: you can a little bit and ready you're not right, Josh,

2390
01:52:35,160 --> 01:52:38,400
Speaker 1: here you go, ready or not. Peterman struggled so badly

2391
01:52:38,760 --> 01:52:41,080
Speaker 1: in that first game that Josh Allen has to be ready.

2392
01:52:41,200 --> 01:52:43,640
Speaker 1: Whether he's ready or not, right, throw him in there.

2393
01:52:43,720 --> 01:52:45,439
Speaker 1: He's in the deep end of the pool now, and

2394
01:52:45,560 --> 01:52:47,719
Speaker 1: we know what we're getting. We're getting games like yesterday.

2395
01:52:47,800 --> 01:52:50,280
Speaker 1: From time to time. I do think you know, he

2396
01:52:50,400 --> 01:52:53,840
Speaker 1: showed signs, including in Minnesota where he had things under control,

2397
01:52:53,960 --> 01:52:57,120
Speaker 1: using his athleticism and his competitive fire to make some

2398
01:52:57,200 --> 01:52:59,040
Speaker 1: big plays and cash in on a couple of takeaways

2399
01:52:59,080 --> 01:53:02,400
Speaker 1: against the Vikings. Yeah and uh from Bigs eighty nine.

2400
01:53:02,520 --> 01:53:05,160
Speaker 1: Also from the tweet, sheet play calling too many routes

2401
01:53:05,160 --> 01:53:06,880
Speaker 1: that took too long to develop. When you have trouble

2402
01:53:06,920 --> 01:53:08,840
Speaker 1: in the past protection, you need to do short, quick

2403
01:53:08,920 --> 01:53:14,840
Speaker 1: routes and quick drops to help. Yeah, all that's you

2404
01:53:14,920 --> 01:53:16,559
Speaker 1: can do all of this stuff some of the time.

2405
01:53:16,640 --> 01:53:18,840
Speaker 1: You can't do all some of this stuff all the time.

2406
01:53:19,520 --> 01:53:21,400
Speaker 1: You know, as soon as you go back and do

2407
01:53:21,520 --> 01:53:23,360
Speaker 1: that one too many times, you're throwing pick six. As

2408
01:53:23,400 --> 01:53:25,080
Speaker 1: we saw that with Nate Peterman all the way back

2409
01:53:25,240 --> 01:53:27,800
Speaker 1: last year in the in the Charger game, a couple

2410
01:53:27,800 --> 01:53:30,080
Speaker 1: of his picks were one of them that the first one,

2411
01:53:30,200 --> 01:53:34,080
Speaker 1: or actually the second one was because they knew their

2412
01:53:34,120 --> 01:53:36,439
Speaker 1: pass rush all of a sudden was dominating that game.

2413
01:53:36,760 --> 01:53:39,120
Speaker 1: Nobody retreated out of their stance in the secondary. They

2414
01:53:39,160 --> 01:53:41,320
Speaker 1: just stood there and Peterman had to let it go.

2415
01:53:42,479 --> 01:53:44,479
Speaker 1: And the defensive backs are waiting on them because they

2416
01:53:44,600 --> 01:53:46,240
Speaker 1: know you've got to get rid of it quicker. So

2417
01:53:46,280 --> 01:53:48,040
Speaker 1: while that will work once in a while, all these

2418
01:53:48,200 --> 01:53:51,120
Speaker 1: all these remedies in the passing game, hey, you gotta

2419
01:53:51,560 --> 01:53:54,160
Speaker 1: you gotta do quick routes, you gotta throw screen patty

2420
01:53:54,200 --> 01:53:57,800
Speaker 1: get One of those things may work once, it's not

2421
01:53:57,880 --> 01:54:00,960
Speaker 1: gonna work every time, and every replay is a new

2422
01:54:01,080 --> 01:54:04,400
Speaker 1: challenge for these guys. So you gotta if there was

2423
01:54:04,479 --> 01:54:09,880
Speaker 1: one magic bullet for every problem uh that that offenses face,

2424
01:54:10,400 --> 01:54:12,600
Speaker 1: everybody would be doing that one magic bullet. That's what

2425
01:54:13,120 --> 01:54:15,559
Speaker 1: we're going a call here, Sam calling from Springville. Sam,

2426
01:54:15,600 --> 01:54:17,559
Speaker 1: what's the biggest problem with the Bills offense so far

2427
01:54:17,680 --> 01:54:20,160
Speaker 1: this year. Hey, all right, going guys, good think I

2428
01:54:20,200 --> 01:54:23,040
Speaker 1: had something to do there. Um see your first point,

2429
01:54:23,160 --> 01:54:25,000
Speaker 1: Um back to your point on the twenty two points.

2430
01:54:25,080 --> 01:54:26,920
Speaker 1: The defense play good enough I think to win the

2431
01:54:27,000 --> 01:54:29,280
Speaker 1: game yesterday if we got some help on offense. I

2432
01:54:29,760 --> 01:54:31,920
Speaker 1: had this conversation my wife, as we always do after

2433
01:54:32,000 --> 01:54:34,960
Speaker 1: the game, and she's an extremist. You know, let's played terrible.

2434
01:54:35,240 --> 01:54:36,880
Speaker 1: Well yeah, look around the league though at some of

2435
01:54:36,920 --> 01:54:39,080
Speaker 1: the scores of some of those games, you know, I mean,

2436
01:54:39,640 --> 01:54:41,800
Speaker 1: we held that team to twenty two points of Aaron Rodgers,

2437
01:54:41,960 --> 01:54:45,680
Speaker 1: get a little offense, a little bit different game either way. UM,

2438
01:54:45,840 --> 01:54:48,200
Speaker 1: want to kind of get you guys thoughts on maybe

2439
01:54:48,280 --> 01:54:51,440
Speaker 1: working in Chris Ivory a little bit more early. I

2440
01:54:51,560 --> 01:54:53,720
Speaker 1: feel like if we can get ahead of the I

2441
01:54:53,840 --> 01:54:56,360
Speaker 1: had a schedule, you know, I use that term all

2442
01:54:56,400 --> 01:54:59,400
Speaker 1: the time. Uh, you know, those third and shorts or

2443
01:54:59,440 --> 01:55:01,840
Speaker 1: the second and shorts and kind of give it Josh

2444
01:55:01,920 --> 01:55:05,640
Speaker 1: Allen some more more options here. So hey, you gotta

2445
01:55:05,720 --> 01:55:07,120
Speaker 1: drop back. You gotta get to the eight you know,

2446
01:55:07,360 --> 01:55:09,520
Speaker 1: in those eight yards, those rout's gonna go eight yards.

2447
01:55:10,720 --> 01:55:15,240
Speaker 1: I think working shady in in those drives, you can

2448
01:55:15,280 --> 01:55:17,600
Speaker 1: get them out in space and stuff like that. I

2449
01:55:17,720 --> 01:55:19,920
Speaker 1: think that stuff we should try and work in later

2450
01:55:20,000 --> 01:55:22,400
Speaker 1: in the game, once we start wearing some guys down

2451
01:55:22,480 --> 01:55:24,680
Speaker 1: up front controlling the line of scrimmage. I just wanted

2452
01:55:24,680 --> 01:55:26,240
Speaker 1: to get your guys thoughts on Yeah, I've just looked

2453
01:55:26,240 --> 01:55:29,080
Speaker 1: it up to McCoy had thirty five snaps on the

2454
01:55:29,120 --> 01:55:32,280
Speaker 1: offense yesterday, Chris Ivory had I just had it here,

2455
01:55:32,360 --> 01:55:35,320
Speaker 1: had twenty two snaps, so you know, significant number more

2456
01:55:35,360 --> 01:55:37,760
Speaker 1: for Shady. But look, I would just say, I'll tell

2457
01:55:37,760 --> 01:55:39,120
Speaker 1: you what. Look. I like seven. They did it a

2458
01:55:39,160 --> 01:55:41,320
Speaker 1: little bit in Minnesota. They did it a little bit

2459
01:55:41,400 --> 01:55:43,680
Speaker 1: yesterday now as much as like, but as I'd like

2460
01:55:43,720 --> 01:55:46,080
Speaker 1: to see when they line up Ivory and McCoy in

2461
01:55:46,120 --> 01:55:49,160
Speaker 1: the backfield behind Josh Allen taking a shotgun snap with

2462
01:55:49,200 --> 01:55:51,680
Speaker 1: those two backs. I love that look. I love that formation.

2463
01:55:51,760 --> 01:55:53,160
Speaker 1: They didn't do it a whole lot yesterday, but a

2464
01:55:53,200 --> 01:55:55,120
Speaker 1: couple of times they did. I think that's a great

2465
01:55:55,160 --> 01:55:58,200
Speaker 1: formation to be in. Yeah, and Sam the caller was right.

2466
01:55:58,280 --> 01:56:00,960
Speaker 1: I mean, they've got to be more productive on first

2467
01:56:01,000 --> 01:56:03,600
Speaker 1: and second down so they don't have to throw the football,

2468
01:56:04,320 --> 01:56:07,000
Speaker 1: you know, nine yards to get past the sticks on

2469
01:56:07,200 --> 01:56:09,640
Speaker 1: third down, and also yesterday, I mentioned this earlier in

2470
01:56:09,680 --> 01:56:11,520
Speaker 1: the show, one of the things that getting off to

2471
01:56:11,600 --> 01:56:14,200
Speaker 1: a fast start would really help. And after the Packers

2472
01:56:14,240 --> 01:56:16,160
Speaker 1: scored their first touchdown the one that they missed the

2473
01:56:16,240 --> 01:56:18,520
Speaker 1: extra point on, the Bills put together a nice little

2474
01:56:18,600 --> 01:56:21,160
Speaker 1: drive and got down to a third and two and

2475
01:56:21,280 --> 01:56:23,320
Speaker 1: they tried to hand it off inside the tackles on

2476
01:56:23,480 --> 01:56:25,680
Speaker 1: just a hard, straight ahead run. They couldn't get there.

2477
01:56:26,320 --> 01:56:29,760
Speaker 1: That's huge, and I thought if they could have converted that,

2478
01:56:29,960 --> 01:56:32,200
Speaker 1: that would have changed the feel of that game and

2479
01:56:32,320 --> 01:56:34,160
Speaker 1: the early going. And maybe he might have changed the

2480
01:56:34,200 --> 01:56:37,360
Speaker 1: thought process of the Packers defensive coordinator Mike Petton. Maybe

2481
01:56:37,440 --> 01:56:40,800
Speaker 1: he's not as you know, aggressive as he would have been.

2482
01:56:40,920 --> 01:56:44,160
Speaker 1: But that's neither here nor there. I do agree with you.

2483
01:56:44,320 --> 01:56:48,440
Speaker 1: First and second downs are hugely important. All three downs

2484
01:56:48,480 --> 01:56:50,520
Speaker 1: are hugely important. But they've got to be productive on

2485
01:56:50,600 --> 01:56:52,920
Speaker 1: first and second down so they can stay on the

2486
01:56:53,120 --> 01:56:56,840
Speaker 1: field on third down more often. They can't do that.

2487
01:56:56,920 --> 01:56:59,080
Speaker 1: They have three and outs. They had a lot of

2488
01:56:59,120 --> 01:57:01,280
Speaker 1: three and outs. Yesterday. They had a play that we

2489
01:57:02,000 --> 01:57:04,320
Speaker 1: drive that you just mentioned earlier in the show, Murph.

2490
01:57:04,360 --> 01:57:07,640
Speaker 1: It took thirteen seconds. You know, you can't win doing

2491
01:57:07,680 --> 01:57:10,760
Speaker 1: that complete and complete and complete. Yeah, yeah, and that's

2492
01:57:11,000 --> 01:57:13,640
Speaker 1: that's a squasher. I didn't total them all up. CBS

2493
01:57:13,760 --> 01:57:16,320
Speaker 1: mentioned it was a thirteen second drive before the punt,

2494
01:57:16,680 --> 01:57:19,320
Speaker 1: But I do know this. Seven of Buffalo's twelve drives

2495
01:57:19,400 --> 01:57:22,360
Speaker 1: went three and out yesterday. That's a recipe for disaster

2496
01:57:22,680 --> 01:57:25,920
Speaker 1: or your defense. Two against Aaron Rodgers, they only gave

2497
01:57:26,000 --> 01:57:29,480
Speaker 1: up twenty two points. Seven of twelve drives were three

2498
01:57:29,520 --> 01:57:32,000
Speaker 1: plays and out. Yeah, they lead them, they're out of

2499
01:57:32,040 --> 01:57:33,600
Speaker 1: pace and I don't have the numbers in front of me.

2500
01:57:33,920 --> 01:57:36,240
Speaker 1: They sent an NFL record for the highest percentage of

2501
01:57:36,280 --> 01:57:39,000
Speaker 1: three and out series on offense. Yeah, the time of

2502
01:57:39,040 --> 01:57:41,920
Speaker 1: possession was thirty four minutes and thirty seven seconds in

2503
01:57:41,960 --> 01:57:45,000
Speaker 1: favor of the Packers. Bills had twenty five minutes plus

2504
01:57:45,440 --> 01:57:47,720
Speaker 1: of time possession. That's big. That's a big difference in

2505
01:57:47,760 --> 01:57:49,720
Speaker 1: the NFL. I'm a big difference. Talk more about this,

2506

2509
01:57:57,480 --> 01:57:59,320

Speaker 1: media platform. Shown with the media at four o'clock today.

2520
01:58:28,960 --> 01:58:31,120
Speaker 1: We're here for another twenty six minutes or so. Steve

2521
01:58:31,160 --> 01:58:33,800
Speaker 1: and I talking about the Buffalo offense. Maybe McDermott will

2522
01:58:33,800 --> 01:58:36,760
Speaker 1: talk about the Bills offensive issues. I don't know from you.

2523
01:58:37,160 --> 01:58:40,640
Speaker 1: Four games in the stats are non impressive, Steven. It's

2524
01:58:40,680 --> 01:58:43,320
Speaker 1: four games, and you know, small sample size. I know

2525
01:58:43,360 --> 01:58:45,760
Speaker 1: a little bit bigger now by twenty five percent or

2526
01:58:45,800 --> 01:58:48,760
Speaker 1: thirty three percent bigger. Bills are the second worst offense

2527
01:58:48,840 --> 01:58:51,200
Speaker 1: in the NFL in terms of yards, second worst in

2528
01:58:51,360 --> 01:58:55,120
Speaker 1: terms of points. They are twenty fourth in rushing yards

2529
01:58:55,160 --> 01:58:58,040
Speaker 1: per game. That's not good. Twenty fifth and rushing yards

2530
01:58:58,040 --> 01:59:00,360
Speaker 1: been play there, dead last in passing yard for game

2531
01:59:00,440 --> 01:59:04,480
Speaker 1: thirty second, dead last in percent head interception intercepted, dead

2532
01:59:04,560 --> 01:59:08,440
Speaker 1: last in sex per play, dead last, and third down efficiency.

2533
01:59:08,760 --> 01:59:11,480
Speaker 1: Should they keep going, You're gonna break in their thirty

2534
01:59:11,560 --> 01:59:15,560
Speaker 1: first in points a game. Did you say that first down,

2535
01:59:15,880 --> 01:59:18,880
Speaker 1: first downs, third down percentage of their thirty second can't

2536
01:59:18,880 --> 01:59:21,480
Speaker 1: get much worse on off? Yeah, they cannot move the

2537
01:59:21,560 --> 01:59:23,920
Speaker 1: football and if you can't move it, you can't score.

2538
01:59:24,320 --> 01:59:27,680
Speaker 1: And that's that's basically it, and it's it's got to

2539
01:59:27,680 --> 01:59:29,480
Speaker 1: get it's they're gonna find ways to get better, and

2540
01:59:29,560 --> 01:59:31,720
Speaker 1: it's gonna start with Josh getting better. It's gonna start

2541
01:59:31,720 --> 01:59:35,080
Speaker 1: with the guys around and playing better. Uh. The coaching staff,

2542
01:59:35,120 --> 01:59:37,400
Speaker 1: Believe me, the coaching staff is racking their brains trying

2543
01:59:37,400 --> 01:59:40,560
Speaker 1: to figure out different ways. And here's the thing. They

2544
01:59:40,640 --> 01:59:42,480
Speaker 1: can call all these plays and they can have all

2545
01:59:42,480 --> 01:59:45,800
Speaker 1: these things in place, but until Josh is experienced enough

2546
01:59:45,840 --> 01:59:48,160
Speaker 1: to get into those plays at the line of scrimmage

2547
01:59:48,240 --> 01:59:50,480
Speaker 1: or get to those checks when he's supposed to get

2548
01:59:50,520 --> 01:59:52,200
Speaker 1: to them, and he can handle it and see the

2549
01:59:52,360 --> 01:59:55,520
Speaker 1: defense and recognize it as being something that they're they're

2550
01:59:55,560 --> 01:59:58,680
Speaker 1: trying to disguise you're gonna be in bad plays a lot.

2551
01:59:58,800 --> 02:00:01,440
Speaker 1: And that's where that's where they it right now. It's

2552
02:00:01,520 --> 02:00:04,200
Speaker 1: up to the quarterback to look at the defensive front

2553
02:00:04,240 --> 02:00:06,880
Speaker 1: and decide who's rushing and who's not. Pick the guy

2554
02:00:06,960 --> 02:00:09,040
Speaker 1: that's the mic and say, Okay, if that guy comes,

2555
02:00:09,120 --> 02:00:11,480
Speaker 1: we're not covered. He's the guy you're watching. So if

2556
02:00:11,520 --> 02:00:13,520
Speaker 1: he comes, we know we're not. And if he picks

2557
02:00:13,560 --> 02:00:17,480
Speaker 1: the wrong guy because they're disguising it, you got problems.

2558
02:00:18,240 --> 02:00:21,160
Speaker 1: And it doesn't matter. No, no, no, please tell me no,

2559
02:00:21,240 --> 02:00:23,160
Speaker 1: no no. Plus, you gotta have guys that can win

2560
02:00:23,240 --> 02:00:25,160
Speaker 1: one on one, not only the offensive line, but also

2561
02:00:25,200 --> 02:00:27,680
Speaker 1: on the outside. And Josh's got a sort through all

2562
02:00:27,720 --> 02:00:29,360
Speaker 1: of that and and pick a guy and pick the

2563
02:00:29,480 --> 02:00:31,960
Speaker 1: right guy and go through it. That's complicated, and that's

2564
02:00:32,000 --> 02:00:33,800
Speaker 1: why it takes a long time to learn. And that's

2565
02:00:33,840 --> 02:00:37,440
Speaker 1: why Josh Allen, um, you know, isn't playing hopefully as

2566
02:00:37,480 --> 02:00:39,120
Speaker 1: good as he's gonna play the next week and the

2567
02:00:39,160 --> 02:00:41,360
Speaker 1: next week after that. Take your call here, Clarence is

2568
02:00:41,400 --> 02:00:44,640
Speaker 1: on the line. Clarence, go ahead, how are you? I'm good?

2569
02:00:44,720 --> 02:00:49,600
Speaker 1: How are you today? Good? Good? One of the problems

2570
02:00:49,640 --> 02:00:52,000
Speaker 1: that I see with the offensive line is that it

2571
02:00:52,120 --> 02:00:55,000
Speaker 1: looks like they're not really prepared. What I mean by

2572
02:00:55,120 --> 02:00:57,920
Speaker 1: that is I see them looking around to find out

2573
02:01:00,040 --> 02:01:03,560
Speaker 1: who they need to block or what the play is.

2574
02:01:03,600 --> 02:01:06,160
Speaker 1: I see a guy turning around looking at the quarterback,

2575
02:01:06,200 --> 02:01:08,800
Speaker 1: and they look like they're a little confused, and so

2576
02:01:09,120 --> 02:01:11,800
Speaker 1: one of they vest from lack of communication from the

2577
02:01:11,920 --> 02:01:16,280
Speaker 1: center or what do you think it is? I think

2578
02:01:16,280 --> 02:01:18,240
Speaker 1: a lot of it is what Steve just mentioned, right, Yeah,

2579
02:01:18,320 --> 02:01:21,400
Speaker 1: they're trying to that's right, They're trying to identify what

2580
02:01:21,480 --> 02:01:23,320
Speaker 1: the defense is doing. Here's what you'll see a lot

2581
02:01:23,400 --> 02:01:26,720
Speaker 1: of times where in especially for a road team, you'll

2582
02:01:26,760 --> 02:01:29,840
Speaker 1: see the center be look looking up and looking at

2583
02:01:29,880 --> 02:01:33,120
Speaker 1: the defense. He's looking at what the defense is doing,

2584
02:01:33,200 --> 02:01:35,480
Speaker 1: watching guys shift, and he'll change and he'll talk to

2585
02:01:35,680 --> 02:01:38,440
Speaker 1: his his linemates about what he sees and who is

2586
02:01:38,520 --> 02:01:42,240
Speaker 1: the key guy in their protections team. And then the

2587
02:01:42,480 --> 02:01:46,080
Speaker 1: guard will actually turn around and look at the quarterback

2588
02:01:46,440 --> 02:01:49,680
Speaker 1: and get read and when the quarterback is ready, he'll

2589
02:01:49,720 --> 02:01:51,800
Speaker 1: signal the guard because the guard is looking at the

2590
02:01:51,880 --> 02:01:55,240
Speaker 1: quarterback and the center is looking at the defense, so

2591
02:01:55,360 --> 02:01:57,520
Speaker 1: that the center doesn't get caught looking at the quarterback,

2592
02:01:57,760 --> 02:02:00,400
Speaker 1: have the defense shift, and then the center snaps it

2593
02:02:00,480 --> 02:02:02,120
Speaker 1: and he doesn't know what's going on. So the center

2594
02:02:02,200 --> 02:02:04,880
Speaker 1: never takes his eyes off the defense. The guard does

2595
02:02:05,000 --> 02:02:07,320
Speaker 1: so they can get the snap right. And then the

2596
02:02:07,440 --> 02:02:10,200
Speaker 1: thing that you don't a lot of times here on

2597
02:02:10,440 --> 02:02:14,600
Speaker 1: broadcasts is the amount of screaming that's going on down there.

2598
02:02:14,640 --> 02:02:16,800
Speaker 1: The defensive guys are screaming at each other trying to

2599
02:02:16,800 --> 02:02:19,440
Speaker 1: get themselves lined up. The offensive linemen are talking about

2600
02:02:19,640 --> 02:02:21,640
Speaker 1: what they're gonna do, who they're talking to, who they're

2601
02:02:21,640 --> 02:02:25,360
Speaker 1: gonna block, what the scheme is going to be. And

2602
02:02:25,480 --> 02:02:28,880
Speaker 1: also they're all using code words so that they can't

2603
02:02:28,920 --> 02:02:32,520
Speaker 1: just say, hey, you got him, you got him. If

2604
02:02:32,560 --> 02:02:35,280
Speaker 1: you start doing that, the defense line will make a

2605
02:02:35,360 --> 02:02:38,160
Speaker 1: call and shift it and then you're done. They'll they'll

2606
02:02:38,200 --> 02:02:40,160
Speaker 1: put you in a bad spot. So all that's going on,

2607
02:02:40,360 --> 02:02:43,440
Speaker 1: and there's no question at times it can look it

2608
02:02:43,520 --> 02:02:45,640
Speaker 1: can be confusing, but it can also look a little

2609
02:02:45,640 --> 02:02:47,640
Speaker 1: bit more helter skelter than it actually is. You know,

2610
02:02:47,760 --> 02:02:49,800
Speaker 1: they got issues. What's the biggest one, the biggest problem

2611
02:02:49,840 --> 02:02:51,920
Speaker 1: with the Buffalo offense. Four games into the season, Give

2612

Speaker 1: us a call eight three fifty or toll free from

2613
02:02:54,800 --> 02:02:58,440
Speaker 1: outside Buffalo one fifty two five fifty from the tweetcheet

2614
02:02:58,680 --> 02:03:03,760
Speaker 1: from a Matario says this is great. Everyone should relax.

2615
02:03:04,480 --> 02:03:07,440
Speaker 1: A young quarterback and young receivers and mostly inexperienced line

2616
02:03:07,520 --> 02:03:10,400
Speaker 1: day will get better as the year goes forward. A Matarial,

2617
02:03:12,560 --> 02:03:14,720
Speaker 1: I think you got something there. I do think they're

2618
02:03:14,720 --> 02:03:17,480
Speaker 1: gonna get better, especially at the quarterback spot. I think

2619
02:03:17,520 --> 02:03:20,240
Speaker 1: Josh Allen is just dipping his toe into the water here.

2620
02:03:20,280 --> 02:03:25,080
Speaker 1: What it means to pay You gotta call it out.

2621
02:03:25,080 --> 02:03:28,080
Speaker 1: You gotta overreact. I do think Josh Allen especially is

2622
02:03:28,120 --> 02:03:30,200
Speaker 1: going to get better. You gotta start asking if Josh

2623
02:03:30,240 --> 02:03:32,920
Speaker 1: Allen's a bust already. You gotta start making those questions.

2624
02:03:32,920 --> 02:03:35,520
Speaker 1: You gotta make those expersions, you know, to make it worse.

2625
02:03:35,600 --> 02:03:39,520
Speaker 1: If Patrick Mahomes, Patrick Mahomes plays well tonight at Denver,

2626
02:03:39,960 --> 02:03:42,400
Speaker 1: we'll hear about that tomorrow. Like why and why? Why is?

2627
02:03:42,600 --> 02:03:44,800
Speaker 1: Why is our guy playing? When that guy gotta sit

2628
02:03:44,880 --> 02:03:46,440
Speaker 1: down for a whole year. Why does our guy have

2629
02:03:46,480 --> 02:03:48,960
Speaker 1: to you know, get in the game right now? It's yeah?

2630
02:03:49,080 --> 02:03:52,960
Speaker 1: Thomas a tweet from more Fun. A tweet from Thomas

2631
02:03:53,040 --> 02:03:56,000
Speaker 1: derlac I voted other. He says this is a breakdown

2632
02:03:56,080 --> 02:03:59,120
Speaker 1: of the entire unit with the rookie quarterback. Opponents will

2633
02:03:59,120 --> 02:04:00,880
Speaker 1: stack the box take in a way our run game

2634
02:04:01,240 --> 02:04:03,800
Speaker 1: fortunate us to throw the wide receivers who cannot get open.

2635
02:04:04,040 --> 02:04:07,040
Speaker 1: The offensive mind misses assignments, and Josh does not recognize

2636
02:04:07,080 --> 02:04:10,000
Speaker 1: blitz is expect saying from all our opponents. I think

2637
02:04:10,000 --> 02:04:13,280
Speaker 1: you're right there, Thomas. It is and we're just asking

2638
02:04:13,360 --> 02:04:16,400
Speaker 1: for the biggest reason the Bill struggling offensively. But there's

2639
02:04:16,400 --> 02:04:18,080
Speaker 1: a lot of issues and a lot of them play

2640
02:04:18,560 --> 02:04:21,240
Speaker 1: into each other. You're gonna see all those things happen

2641
02:04:21,440 --> 02:04:24,440
Speaker 1: until the Bills have some success against that stuff. When

2642
02:04:24,440 --> 02:04:27,200
Speaker 1: the Bills prove to defenses across the league that they

2643
02:04:27,240 --> 02:04:30,640
Speaker 1: can beat you if they stack the box, then you're

2644
02:04:30,680 --> 02:04:34,040
Speaker 1: they're gonna stop stacking the box. And if you start

2645
02:04:34,120 --> 02:04:36,480
Speaker 1: showing that you can recognize what their defense is trying

2646
02:04:36,520 --> 02:04:39,840
Speaker 1: to do before the snap and beat it, they'll stop

2647
02:04:39,960 --> 02:04:42,840
Speaker 1: doing that, and you'll it'll get easier for you and

2648
02:04:42,840 --> 02:04:44,840
Speaker 1: they'll start having to and you'll be able to start

2649
02:04:45,000 --> 02:04:49,360
Speaker 1: dictating your matchups rather than having your matchups dictated to you.

2650
02:04:49,600 --> 02:04:54,240
Speaker 1: So yeah, the Bills will the teams will stop getting

2651
02:04:54,240 --> 02:04:56,520
Speaker 1: the better the Bill's offense. When the Bills start having

2652
02:04:56,800 --> 02:05:00,840
Speaker 1: success and they can force the defense to to play

2653
02:05:00,880 --> 02:05:03,440
Speaker 1: a little bit more conservatively than they have been able

2654
02:05:03,480 --> 02:05:05,680
Speaker 1: to do. You're you're going to get more and more

2655
02:05:05,760 --> 02:05:08,920
Speaker 1: exotic looks until Josh Allen proves he can handle them.

2656
02:05:09,240 --> 02:05:11,440
Speaker 1: Let's spend a little time here with NFL True and False.

2657
02:05:11,560 --> 02:05:13,360
Speaker 1: We'd like to do this at this portion of the show.

2658
02:05:13,400 --> 02:05:16,480
Speaker 1: It has brought to you by Yancey's Fancy New York's

2659
02:05:16,560 --> 02:05:19,040
Speaker 1: artists and Cheese. True and False. A couple of things

2660
02:05:19,080 --> 02:05:22,480
Speaker 1: here spnation dot com. Khalil Mack is the NFL's leading

2661
02:05:22,600 --> 02:05:25,720
Speaker 1: candidate for Most Valuable Player. Look, let's all acknowledge. First

2662
02:05:25,720 --> 02:05:27,760
Speaker 1: of all, it is too soon to worry about who's

2663
02:05:27,760 --> 02:05:31,720
Speaker 1: going to be the NFL MVP. But but Khalil Mack.

2664
02:05:31,880 --> 02:05:34,800
Speaker 1: Right yesterday, Chicago is three and one. They hammered Tampa

2665
02:05:34,840 --> 02:05:37,920
Speaker 1: Bay yesterday forty eight ten mac, a sack, forced fumble

2666
02:05:38,320 --> 02:05:40,480
Speaker 1: so far the season, four games, Khalil Mack, are you

2667
02:05:40,520 --> 02:05:43,320
Speaker 1: ready for this? Steve? He's amazing. Five sacks and four games,

2668
02:05:43,640 --> 02:05:47,240
Speaker 1: four forced fumbles and an interception return for a touchdown.

2669
02:05:47,560 --> 02:05:50,000
Speaker 1: How could he not be the Most Valuable player through

2670
02:05:50,000 --> 02:05:54,040
Speaker 1: four games? Anyway? You know how people don't vote for defenders. Defenders. Yeah,

2671
02:05:54,160 --> 02:05:58,040
Speaker 1: they don't vote for defenders. There's um a bet online

2672
02:05:58,120 --> 02:06:01,040
Speaker 1: website put twenty four players. There's a list of the

2673
02:06:01,160 --> 02:06:03,560
Speaker 1: latest sides for MVP award. You know who's listed ahead

2674
02:06:03,600 --> 02:06:08,360
Speaker 1: of Khalil Mack, Antonio Brown, Mitchell Trubisky, Ryan Fitzpatrick, Sequon Barkley.

2675
02:06:08,920 --> 02:06:13,200
Speaker 1: UM no mentioned him any defensive player. Are we really

2676
02:06:13,280 --> 02:06:15,080
Speaker 1: that limited? We got to look for a guy on

2677
02:06:15,160 --> 02:06:18,080
Speaker 1: the offensive be the MVP. The season ended today, Khalil

2678
02:06:18,160 --> 02:06:20,600
Speaker 1: Mack is my MVP. What do you think? I agree

2679
02:06:20,600 --> 02:06:22,840
Speaker 1: if it ended today, Khalil Max is the guy. He's

2680
02:06:22,880 --> 02:06:26,640
Speaker 1: been the biggest difference maker for that defense and that team. Really,

2681
02:06:27,200 --> 02:06:30,040
Speaker 1: they've got a second year quarterback who's still who Although

2682
02:06:30,080 --> 02:06:31,840
Speaker 1: he had a breakout game yesterday, a lot of it

2683
02:06:31,920 --> 02:06:33,800
Speaker 1: was set up by the fact that Khalil Mack is

2684
02:06:33,840 --> 02:06:36,760
Speaker 1: on his team and giving him opportunities. So, yeah, Khalil

2685
02:06:36,840 --> 02:06:39,000
Speaker 1: Mack is having a monster year. I don't know that

2686
02:06:39,080 --> 02:06:43,080
Speaker 1: he'll even get to double digit sacks, but I'll say this,

2687
02:06:43,280 --> 02:06:48,200
Speaker 1: if he keeps getting turnovers at this rate, he is

2688
02:06:48,280 --> 02:06:50,520
Speaker 1: the MVP because that is the stat in all of

2689
02:06:50,600 --> 02:06:54,320
Speaker 1: football that equates to you know, unless you get a

2690
02:06:54,360 --> 02:06:56,880
Speaker 1: guy that scores. The scores a touchdown every time he

2691
02:06:56,960 --> 02:06:59,600
Speaker 1: touches at Khalil mack On. His ability to get turnovers

2692
02:06:59,720 --> 02:07:01,280
Speaker 1: is a big game changer in the league right now.

2693
02:07:01,320 --> 02:07:03,680
Speaker 1: So yeah, I'll say true. I think that's true NFL

2694
02:07:03,720 --> 02:07:06,720
Speaker 1: True or false? Part two. The Pittsburgh Steelers in panic

2695
02:07:06,800 --> 02:07:10,080
Speaker 1: mode after they lost to UH Baltimore yesterday. The Steelers

2696
02:07:10,160 --> 02:07:13,280
Speaker 1: had won ten straight night games before Baltimore beat him

2697
02:07:13,320 --> 02:07:16,520
Speaker 1: last night twenty six to fourteen. Who are the Pittsburg

2698
02:07:16,560 --> 02:07:18,560
Speaker 1: Steelers right now? I watch the first half? Are they

2699
02:07:18,640 --> 02:07:20,280
Speaker 1: in panic mode? I mean they don't run it well

2700
02:07:20,320 --> 02:07:23,320
Speaker 1: maybe on Bell still not with him. Roethlisberger really doesn't

2701
02:07:23,360 --> 02:07:25,640
Speaker 1: have a lot of targets to throw too. They don't

2702
02:07:25,680 --> 02:07:29,280
Speaker 1: have an identity yet. Pittsburgh Steelers panic mode after losing

2703
02:07:29,320 --> 02:07:31,360
Speaker 1: to the Ravens yesterday. I'm gonna go true with this one.

2704
02:07:31,440 --> 02:07:34,040
Speaker 1: Steve a little too, I will too. Now, this is

2705
02:07:34,080 --> 02:07:36,960
Speaker 1: a that's a franchise that thrives on drama. Don't don't

2706
02:07:37,040 --> 02:07:41,880
Speaker 1: kid yourself. Ben Roethlisberger loves to have things stirred up around.

2707
02:07:41,920 --> 02:07:43,960
Speaker 1: I mean he comes out and does his postgame interview

2708
02:07:44,040 --> 02:07:47,400
Speaker 1: in a in a walking boot. He comes into production

2709
02:07:47,480 --> 02:07:52,080
Speaker 1: meetings on Friday's telling you that he can't talk. He has,

2710
02:07:52,520 --> 02:07:54,040
Speaker 1: you know, will come in on a Friday for a

2711
02:07:54,080 --> 02:07:55,800
Speaker 1: playoff game and all of a sudden he's got some

2712
02:07:55,920 --> 02:07:57,720
Speaker 1: phantom thing that he's got to deal with it that

2713
02:07:57,960 --> 02:08:00,920
Speaker 1: puts his ability to play well in out. He thrives

2714
02:08:01,080 --> 02:08:06,360
Speaker 1: on that kind of drama, and this team surrounds itself

2715
02:08:06,400 --> 02:08:09,360
Speaker 1: with a levion bell and all the things he brings

2716
02:08:09,440 --> 02:08:13,760
Speaker 1: to it because of his holdout. Antonio Brown chiming in

2717
02:08:14,120 --> 02:08:16,560
Speaker 1: about you know, trade me a week or two ago,

2718
02:08:17,440 --> 02:08:21,120
Speaker 1: and it's not getting better. So yeah, I think it

2719
02:08:21,280 --> 02:08:25,160
Speaker 1: is time for the Steelers to hit the panic button

2720
02:08:25,400 --> 02:08:27,440
Speaker 1: or their fans are gonna have to adjust their expectations

2721
02:08:27,480 --> 02:08:29,879
Speaker 1: for this season. They just lost a really important divisional

2722
02:08:30,000 --> 02:08:34,160
Speaker 1: game to the Ravens at home. This is an amazing

2723
02:08:34,240 --> 02:08:37,520
Speaker 1: stat to the Steelers. Their last three home games, the

2724
02:08:37,640 --> 02:08:40,680
Speaker 1: Steelers have spotted their opponents a lead of fifty six

2725
02:08:40,760 --> 02:08:44,080
Speaker 1: to nothing combined at home last three games fifty six

2726
02:08:44,120 --> 02:08:46,240
Speaker 1: to nothing lead. There you go. NFL tur Or False

2727
02:08:46,280 --> 02:08:48,920
Speaker 1: brought to you by Yancy's Fancy New York's artists and Cheese.

2728
02:08:48,960 --> 02:08:52,160
Speaker 1: Let's squeeze in a call right here. Mick from Jamestown. Mick,

2729
02:08:52,240 --> 02:08:56,480
Speaker 1: your thoughts on the bills go ahead. Yeah. I had

2730
02:08:56,640 --> 02:09:00,360
Speaker 1: noticed every time Josh had a bad series, which there

2731
02:09:00,520 --> 02:09:03,120
Speaker 1: is a lot of, he went to the bench and

2732
02:09:03,240 --> 02:09:06,480
Speaker 1: I saw on TV that there was nobody there to

2733
02:09:06,680 --> 02:09:09,960
Speaker 1: help him, sit with him, talk to him. Isn't there

2734
02:09:10,080 --> 02:09:13,480
Speaker 1: somebody that could kind of try to hold his ego?

2735
02:09:14,040 --> 02:09:16,200
Speaker 1: That's not true. He goes to the bench and he

2736
02:09:16,600 --> 02:09:18,839
Speaker 1: gets on the phone and tuchs to Brian Dable upstairs.

2737
02:09:19,120 --> 02:09:21,920
Speaker 1: He sits with the quarterback coach Kelly. He sits with

2738
02:09:22,040 --> 02:09:24,920
Speaker 1: Nathan Peterman. He brings out the tablet. No, he's not

2739
02:09:25,000 --> 02:09:27,000
Speaker 1: a alone Yeah, don't miss the coach. You're just missing that.

2740
02:09:27,080 --> 02:09:29,240
Speaker 1: They're you're not catching it on camera, Mick, There they

2741
02:09:29,400 --> 02:09:31,400
Speaker 1: don't they The last thing they do is leave the

2742
02:09:31,480 --> 02:09:34,040
Speaker 1: quarterback alone when he comes off the field. You may

2743
02:09:34,160 --> 02:09:37,400
Speaker 1: get that sense that they're not jumping on him whatever,

2744
02:09:37,480 --> 02:09:41,120
Speaker 1: But no, they They spend the entire time he's on

2745
02:09:41,200 --> 02:09:43,520
Speaker 1: the sidelines. He's working at getting better, he's working at

2746
02:09:43,560 --> 02:09:46,080
Speaker 1: the at the on the photographs. They come up with

2747
02:09:46,120 --> 02:09:48,920
Speaker 1: a plan for the next series. Uh. They talk about

2748
02:09:48,960 --> 02:09:50,640
Speaker 1: the last series and what they could expect in the

2749
02:09:50,720 --> 02:09:53,240
Speaker 1: next one. Defensively, what they're gonna be looking at So no,

2750
02:09:53,280 --> 02:09:54,880
Speaker 1: they're not leaving him alone. He may look like that

2751
02:09:54,960 --> 02:09:57,560
Speaker 1: at times, Mick, but you're I'm telling you're just missing it.

2752
02:09:57,920 --> 02:10:01,560
Speaker 1: Either the broadcast is not catching it on camera or

2753
02:10:02,080 --> 02:10:05,560
Speaker 1: you're you're just not watching, because there's no doubt that

2754
02:10:06,360 --> 02:10:08,280
Speaker 1: Josh Allen is far from alone when he comes off

2755
02:10:08,320 --> 02:10:10,800
Speaker 1: the field. One more time, for one more call. Here

2756
02:10:10,920 --> 02:10:14,960
Speaker 1: here is uh Steve calling from east to Rara Steve.

2757
02:10:15,080 --> 02:10:16,800
Speaker 1: We got Steve from Easter Roa right here in studio.

2758
02:10:16,840 --> 02:10:20,680
Speaker 1: There you go, Thanks for squeezing in sure. Um yeah,

2759
02:10:20,800 --> 02:10:22,760
Speaker 1: like you took your pull on what was wrong with

2760
02:10:22,840 --> 02:10:24,640
Speaker 1: the offense. And the only thing I didn't hear was

2761
02:10:25,360 --> 02:10:28,360
Speaker 1: just the choice of plays. I noticed, Uh Minnesota game,

2762
02:10:28,440 --> 02:10:31,240
Speaker 1: we came out and did some different things, and we

2763
02:10:31,360 --> 02:10:34,280
Speaker 1: are a little more tricky because McCoy wasn't in the lineup,

2764
02:10:34,360 --> 02:10:38,640
Speaker 1: so you had you know, we didn't. They didn't know

2765
02:10:38,680 --> 02:10:41,640
Speaker 1: what to expect. And then this last game, you know,

2766
02:10:41,800 --> 02:10:44,080
Speaker 1: it's like run cooy McCoy mcoy over and over again.

2767
02:10:44,080 --> 02:10:47,520
Speaker 1: It's like super predictable. All right, I don't know, we're

2768
02:10:47,560 --> 02:10:49,640
Speaker 1: out of time here, see, but yeah, I would say, no,

2769
02:10:49,960 --> 02:10:51,920
Speaker 1: I don't think that's the problem. Look, if you can't

2770
02:10:52,120 --> 02:10:54,680
Speaker 1: run effectively, you can't throw it really well, and you

2771
02:10:54,760 --> 02:10:57,800
Speaker 1: can't pass protect, there's no tricks that are gonna save you, right,

2772
02:10:57,840 --> 02:10:59,320
Speaker 1: I mean, there's nothing you can do that. I'll say,

2773
02:10:59,400 --> 02:11:01,400
Speaker 1: we gotta take a break, Steve. But yeah, I agree

2774
02:11:01,400 --> 02:11:03,560
Speaker 1: with you. There did seem to be a lack of

2775
02:11:03,760 --> 02:11:06,320
Speaker 1: that in there, but it's because they were unsuccessful doing

2776
02:11:06,440 --> 02:11:08,480
Speaker 1: so much of everything. They ran out of things to

2777
02:11:08,520 --> 02:11:10,320
Speaker 1: do to try and be successful. And you can't stay

2778
02:11:10,360 --> 02:11:13,840
Speaker 1: on the field and have things go well if you

2779
02:11:14,000 --> 02:11:16,520
Speaker 1: can't get a first down, and the Bills really struggled

2780
02:11:16,560 --> 02:11:20,360
Speaker 1: to do that yesterday. They it's they tried everything to

2781
02:11:20,520 --> 02:11:24,440
Speaker 1: stay on the field offensively, scheme wise, personnel wise, formation wise,

2782
02:11:24,800 --> 02:11:28,120
Speaker 1: run plays, pass plays, quick passes, long passes. They just

2783
02:11:28,320 --> 02:11:31,280
Speaker 1: couldn't do it. And that's why it looked like, you know,

2784
02:11:31,680 --> 02:11:34,320
Speaker 1: they needed to try something else. They tried everything, and

2785
02:11:34,480 --> 02:11:36,760
Speaker 1: they were Seven of twelve drives were three and outs.

2786
02:11:36,880 --> 02:11:38,600
Speaker 1: That was the story. All right, we're break. We're back

02:12:18,040 --> 02:12:20,320
Speaker 1: Washburn gave us his thoughts on Josh Allen's day and

2797
02:12:20,400 --> 02:12:26,760
Speaker 1: his development so far. He's a confident kid that is

2798
02:12:26,840 --> 02:12:31,400
Speaker 1: clearly young, but is physically gifted, and I think I

2799
02:12:31,520 --> 02:12:35,280
Speaker 1: can handle what was the challenging day there. I think

2800
02:12:35,600 --> 02:12:38,320
Speaker 1: that that will hopefully hearten him in a way that

2801
02:12:38,520 --> 02:12:41,360
Speaker 1: the Minnesota game obviously didn't. You gotta as much as

2802
02:12:41,400 --> 02:12:43,080
Speaker 1: you need to have those days like they had in

2803
02:12:43,120 --> 02:12:46,720
Speaker 1: Minnesota where everything was going right. I'm a big believer

2804
02:12:46,880 --> 02:12:49,560
Speaker 1: that you need to have some of these ugly ones

2805

Speaker 1: to have them in your memory bank. They're looking at

2807
02:12:57,600 --> 02:13:01,400
Speaker 1: experience and visual evidence the things that they can then

2808
02:13:01,520 --> 02:13:04,600
Speaker 1: utilize both good and bad going forward and yesterday was

2809
