One Bills Live presented by Called Light to Health. 2 00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:39,440 Speaker 1: All right, let's rock and roll here on a Tuesday, 3 00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:41,920 Speaker 1: Chris Brown Steve Tasker with you. One Bills Live is 4 00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:47,199 Speaker 1: the show, and the Bills are still licking their wounds 5 00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:52,760 Speaker 1: after Sunday's loss to the Dolphins. We'll get into that 6 00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:57,240 Speaker 1: in just a second. But Steve, as you know, as 7 00:00:57,240 --> 00:00:59,720 Speaker 1: a homeowner, there are things that you must deal with 8 00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:06,039 Speaker 1: from time to time, various repairs, various things that you 9 00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:10,240 Speaker 1: have to take care of. And I have two things 10 00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:15,200 Speaker 1: that happened to me in the span of approximately fifteen 11 00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:19,039 Speaker 1: to eighteen hours. I'm driving home yesterday afternoon. I get 12 00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:21,119 Speaker 1: a frantic call on the phone from my wife, who 13 00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:27,880 Speaker 1: fortunately was home before I was yesterday. She calls me 14 00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:31,280 Speaker 1: in a panic, and I knew right away it wasn't 15 00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:33,360 Speaker 1: good because all I can hear in the background on 16 00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:40,480 Speaker 1: the phone is rushing water. Oh okay, she's in the basement, 17 00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:45,959 Speaker 1: in the basement, rushing and she's she basically in the 18 00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:48,520 Speaker 1: she FaceTime me so I could see what was going on. 19 00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:53,280 Speaker 1: She basically has old faithful behind her in the basement. 20 00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:55,840 Speaker 1: It's a some pump issue, and you know, it was 21 00:01:55,880 --> 00:02:02,000 Speaker 1: pouring yesterday, there is water shooting out of the sumpump, 22 00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:06,520 Speaker 1: but up against the basement wall because the coupler that 23 00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:10,520 Speaker 1: connects the pipe up and out of the house along 24 00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:18,120 Speaker 1: with the sum is a part. So fortunately I'm on 25 00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:25,720 Speaker 1: my way home and um, you know, basically unplugged the 26 00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:28,840 Speaker 1: sumpump so it stops running, right, and then keep an 27 00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:33,119 Speaker 1: eye on it to make sure it's not filling up. Um. 28 00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:36,640 Speaker 1: And then I got home and fortunately it was an 29 00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:42,080 Speaker 1: easy fix. It was just reclamp the coupler back to 30 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:46,000 Speaker 1: the piet. Okay, but you know we had a little 31 00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:48,240 Speaker 1: bit of flooding down there, yea, so I had to 32 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:51,639 Speaker 1: take some It's on the Fortunately it's on the unfinished 33 00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:55,200 Speaker 1: side of our basement laundry area, you know that stuff. 34 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,239 Speaker 1: But you know, we have carpets down because it gets cold, 35 00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:00,520 Speaker 1: like little area remnants. That's what we have on that 36 00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:02,239 Speaker 1: side of the basement. So at least I could pick 37 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,600 Speaker 1: them up, carry them out to the back patio, let 38 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:10,160 Speaker 1: them drain dry, etc. They're still drying now. Not a 39 00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:12,680 Speaker 1: fun phone call to get that's number one. Number two 40 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:18,160 Speaker 1: was filled with a little bit more hijinks. Okay, so 41 00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:22,440 Speaker 1: my dog, this is my younger dog, my older dog 42 00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:30,639 Speaker 1: we unfortunately lost in June, and she was the intrepid 43 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:34,720 Speaker 1: territorial guardian of the yard. The old dog was yes 44 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:38,640 Speaker 1: to the point where squirrels would not even use our 45 00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:42,840 Speaker 1: yard to take a shortcut because she was like on him, 46 00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,280 Speaker 1: like white on rice. Even at an advanced age, she 47 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:49,880 Speaker 1: would chase them out of the yard. And she never 48 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:54,320 Speaker 1: caught one, but she got she she got half the 49 00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:57,000 Speaker 1: tail of one of them. Oh yeah, oh yeah, snapped 50 00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,120 Speaker 1: the tail off halfway through, so word got around the 51 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:05,560 Speaker 1: squirrel community, don't go through our backyard. She got a 52 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:07,640 Speaker 1: bird one time too. I don't know how she did that. 53 00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 1: So anyway, suffice it to say, good guard dog in 54 00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:14,480 Speaker 1: terms of keeping the critters out of the yard. But 55 00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:18,960 Speaker 1: gone but now gone since June. And let's just say 56 00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 1: that my younger dog, who now has rule of the roost, 57 00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:27,680 Speaker 1: a the one you call the dumb dog, because she's ay, 58 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:30,240 Speaker 1: she's not smart, a sweetheart of a dog, but just 59 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:38,279 Speaker 1: not intelligent, A not intelligent b not readily aware of 60 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:41,480 Speaker 1: what's going on around her. And I think it might 61 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:43,680 Speaker 1: be rooted in the fact I don't think her eyes 62 00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 1: are that great because I've told you, like when I'm 63 00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:50,839 Speaker 1: in the kitchen and like if I'm chopping up a salad, 64 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,279 Speaker 1: I'll toss her the end of the cucumber because she 65 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:57,560 Speaker 1: likes she eats cucumber, she eats carrots, she eats veggie, 66 00:04:57,640 --> 00:04:59,839 Speaker 1: so you know, I'll toss her a mini carrot, just 67 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,120 Speaker 1: kind of keep her occupied. Well, my old dog, I 68 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:07,840 Speaker 1: toss her anything to eat, snap like right out of 69 00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 1: the air, right like it. It's like us catching with hands. Yeah, 70 00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:16,839 Speaker 1: grab it like on it never missed. My younger dog. 71 00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:21,520 Speaker 1: You throw her the end of a cucumber like she's 72 00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,600 Speaker 1: She's three feet away from me. You know I'm underhand 73 00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:29,080 Speaker 1: tossing it to her. Couldn't She didn't even move. I'm 74 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:32,440 Speaker 1: not joking when I tell you the last five times 75 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,880 Speaker 1: I have done this with my younger dog. It literally 76 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:40,680 Speaker 1: bounces off of her forehead, then hits the ground. Then 77 00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:43,760 Speaker 1: she'll scurry around and look for it, like no reaction 78 00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,080 Speaker 1: to there is something in the air coming at me. 79 00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:51,840 Speaker 1: I'm either getting out of the way or hey, this 80 00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:54,360 Speaker 1: could be food. Let me snap it right out of 81 00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:57,599 Speaker 1: the air and have her check for cataract. Doesn't doesn't 82 00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:01,640 Speaker 1: even like no react action, Like I might as well 83 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 1: be throwing that to a statue. There's just nothing. So 84 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:11,200 Speaker 1: so keeping all of this in mind, Okay, reaction time, vision, 85 00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:16,520 Speaker 1: interest in guarding the yard, like all subpar grades across 86 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:22,080 Speaker 1: the board. Okay, like we're talking sixth round pick at 87 00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:26,720 Speaker 1: best here. So free agent. So this morning, before I 88 00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,760 Speaker 1: leave for work, I'm drinking my coffee on our little 89 00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:34,799 Speaker 1: front porch there and she's out there with me, and 90 00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:37,520 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, she hops off the porch and 91 00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:41,599 Speaker 1: she jumps into stealth mode. This is very unusual because, 92 00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:45,119 Speaker 1: as I said, really doesn't take an interest in any 93 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:49,880 Speaker 1: other critics in our yard whatsoever. So she hops into 94 00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:52,960 Speaker 1: stealth mode. I'm like, oh, what's this about. She actually 95 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:57,080 Speaker 1: sees something like maybe her vision isn't that bad, So 96 00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,880 Speaker 1: she goes. You know, she's on she's doing the prowl thing, 97 00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:02,640 Speaker 1: you know, kind of trying to sneak up on whatever. 98 00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:10,760 Speaker 1: See I'm assuming it's a squirrel, right, So she comes 99 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:14,200 Speaker 1: out of our front landscaping into our driveway. Off to 100 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 1: my left. Our garage door is open because I'm gonna 101 00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:20,360 Speaker 1: be leaving for work soon, So the garage door is open, 102 00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:25,760 Speaker 1: and she kind of slowly kind of stealth prowls her 103 00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:29,000 Speaker 1: way out to the far side of my garage door, 104 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:31,600 Speaker 1: the corner of the garage leading to the side of 105 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:34,000 Speaker 1: the house. All of a sudden, she disappears around the 106 00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:36,800 Speaker 1: corner springs into action. I was like, oh, you know, 107 00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:40,720 Speaker 1: I guess maybe we'll maybe she's gonna catch something, send 108 00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:43,960 Speaker 1: a message to the squirrel community, like you know. So 109 00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:45,680 Speaker 1: you scurry out there with your cup of coffee, and 110 00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:50,240 Speaker 1: I put my coffee down. I hop out onto the 111 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:53,640 Speaker 1: front walkway to see, you know, what we got going 112 00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:56,040 Speaker 1: on here, like do we have a hot pursuit? Like 113 00:07:56,120 --> 00:08:00,000 Speaker 1: what are we doing? I'm not even at the driveway yet, 114 00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:05,960 Speaker 1: and my dog's gone. A squirrel comes right back around 115 00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:09,240 Speaker 1: the front of the house, like doubled back. Yeah, sees me, 116 00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:14,880 Speaker 1: sees me hangs a right turn into my garage. So 117 00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:17,840 Speaker 1: now my dog comes back because she got faked out 118 00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:21,800 Speaker 1: of her socks because the squirrel completely doubled back on 119 00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:23,720 Speaker 1: her and she had no clue what was going on. 120 00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:26,960 Speaker 1: She comes back like, hey, where's the squirrel? You know? 121 00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:31,080 Speaker 1: And I hear the thing, So now she darts. She 122 00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:34,319 Speaker 1: hears it in the garage. She darts in there. She 123 00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:38,800 Speaker 1: chases this squirrel up my six foot ladder which is 124 00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:41,480 Speaker 1: leaning against the wall in the garage like just trying 125 00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:44,080 Speaker 1: to get to high ground to get it. Now, I 126 00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:48,920 Speaker 1: got a squirrel in the garage, so I'm just like, seriously, dog, 127 00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:53,560 Speaker 1: like the one time you actually show interest in chasing 128 00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:56,080 Speaker 1: something out of the yard, totally, it double back, it 129 00:08:56,200 --> 00:09:00,440 Speaker 1: double backs on yet fakes you out, you know, like 130 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:03,079 Speaker 1: you're a house on the side of the road. And 131 00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:05,840 Speaker 1: now I got this thing in my garage. So my 132 00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:10,559 Speaker 1: wife should have filmed this, quite frankly. So now I've 133 00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:13,640 Speaker 1: got a squirrel perched up on the ladder between the 134 00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:15,880 Speaker 1: wall and the ladder like looking like who's coming after me? 135 00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:20,839 Speaker 1: Like one of these deals. Now I've had a couple 136 00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:24,880 Speaker 1: of squirrel encounters in my life. I don't want this 137 00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:27,400 Speaker 1: thing in a panic jumping off the ladder at me, 138 00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:30,640 Speaker 1: you know, kind of like Christmas Vacation with Chevy Chase 139 00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:34,240 Speaker 1: and the squirrel jumping out of the Christmas tree. So 140 00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:37,880 Speaker 1: I've got my wife should have taken a picture of this. 141 00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:43,880 Speaker 1: My dog's inside now watching this because she doesn't know 142 00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:52,559 Speaker 1: what to do. Right, I have my son's spike ball net. 143 00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:58,120 Speaker 1: What's a spike ball? So spike ball, Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, 144 00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:00,480 Speaker 1: I got that over my face so this thing doesn't 145 00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:04,440 Speaker 1: leap out at me, okay, like a shield, yeah, because 146 00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:06,200 Speaker 1: if it jumps out, it'll hit the net, you know, 147 00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:09,720 Speaker 1: not my face, tear me apart. And in my other hand, 148 00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:12,600 Speaker 1: I've got my roof raak because I want to pull 149 00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:15,760 Speaker 1: the ladder off the wall to give it enough time 150 00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:19,320 Speaker 1: to you know, yeah camper and go like but the 151 00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:21,560 Speaker 1: thing you pull snow off the roof with. Yeah, So 152 00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:23,920 Speaker 1: I'm using that kind of like a hook to pull 153 00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:26,480 Speaker 1: the ladder off the wall. So I hold the shield 154 00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:28,959 Speaker 1: and I this thing doesn't want to she doesn't want 155 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:32,200 Speaker 1: to move. The squirrel doesn't want to move, like probably terrified. 156 00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:36,640 Speaker 1: So I pulled the thing off. It jumps to my 157 00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:40,720 Speaker 1: garage door opener bar like the track the door runs 158 00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:43,200 Speaker 1: down on. It jumps from the ladder to that, and 159 00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:49,240 Speaker 1: then belly flops to cement, but has enough presence of 160 00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:54,200 Speaker 1: mind to scurry away, and and Christ is averted. But 161 00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:59,880 Speaker 1: my dog, in its in its first interest and pursued 162 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:05,880 Speaker 1: of a squirrel again fails miserably and creates a problem 163 00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:09,600 Speaker 1: instead of solving One's there's some lessons to be learned 164 00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:12,360 Speaker 1: at your house, I'm sure obviously it is terrible. That's 165 00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:15,400 Speaker 1: too bad. It does not trump my other squirrel experience, 166 00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:19,160 Speaker 1: which we did in college. One of my housemates, he 167 00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:22,320 Speaker 1: lived upstairs, there was a squirrel in the wall. In 168 00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:25,920 Speaker 1: the wall, yes, so he would pound on the wall 169 00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:29,840 Speaker 1: and the squirrel would run out off the phone line 170 00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:34,680 Speaker 1: and you know, get to a tree, escape whatever. So 171 00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:37,560 Speaker 1: my buddy finally he's had enough because it's disrupting his sleep. 172 00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:39,439 Speaker 1: He hears a thing in the wall and the other 173 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:43,320 Speaker 1: he goes, guys, I just need you to bang on 174 00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:46,680 Speaker 1: the wall. He goes, because I'm not repeating this cycle again. 175 00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:50,000 Speaker 1: I'm going outside. I've got my pellet gun. I'm taking 176 00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:54,880 Speaker 1: this thing out. I was like, oh okay. So he goes, 177 00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:56,800 Speaker 1: I need you two guys to pound on the wall 178 00:11:57,679 --> 00:11:59,199 Speaker 1: when you hear it scurry, and I need you to 179 00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,480 Speaker 1: shout out the wind.

Okay, um, fair enough, Yeah, 202 00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:28,200 Speaker 1: squirrel it is. Yeah. Back in the day that Americans 203 00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:30,480 Speaker 1: grew up a lot of Americans grew up on squirrel 204 00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:35,880 Speaker 1: that was, you know, and rabbit. Yeah, that kind of stuff. 205 00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:45,199 Speaker 1: But yeah, that's squirrels are a main homeowner issue here 206 00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:48,480 Speaker 1: and what in west are right? Absolutely everybody. I've got 207 00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:50,920 Speaker 1: stories about squirrels in my We had them in and 208 00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,600 Speaker 1: I had I gotta have a heart trap or three 209 00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:55,760 Speaker 1: of them. They were red too. They weren't the gray squirrels. 210 00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:58,480 Speaker 1: They were the red ones, the smaller ones, okay, vicious 211 00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:03,760 Speaker 1: little buggers, and and uh I had to, like, you know, 212 00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:05,640 Speaker 1: you took it out. I let it go. It went 213 00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:08,160 Speaker 1: up the side of the house, back across the thing, 214 00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:10,760 Speaker 1: but right over to where I had blocked him. So 215 00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:12,440 Speaker 1: I got it right. I knew where they were coming in. 216 00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:15,079 Speaker 1: I got it right. I guessed and he couldn't get in. 217 00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:16,480 Speaker 1: So I got that one. Then I had to catch 218 00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:20,240 Speaker 1: two more that we're in there. Yeah it was, Yeah, 219 00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:23,960 Speaker 1: squirrels are a problem. Yeah, squirrels are a problem. So yeah, 220 00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:26,200 Speaker 1: that was That was the hijinks of this morning before 221 00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:29,440 Speaker 1: even that was this morning. That was, gosh, what a 222 00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:31,080 Speaker 1: way to start your But now I don't know whether 223 00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:34,320 Speaker 1: to encourage my dog to keep chasing squirrels because she's 224 00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:36,760 Speaker 1: horrible at it. Well, she got some things to learn. 225 00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:39,640 Speaker 1: Well you should you know, she's get a fishing pole, 226 00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:42,000 Speaker 1: get a fishing pole, get a little squirrel, a little 227 00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:44,480 Speaker 1: squirrel furry thing, and start training her around the house. 228 00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:47,480 Speaker 1: You know, cast it out there and you know, I 229 00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:49,760 Speaker 1: don't know. If that don't know, I'm gonna I'm totally guessing. 230 00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:56,640 Speaker 1: All right, enough about totally guessing home ownership hijinks here. Uh, 231 00:14:56,760 --> 00:15:00,200 Speaker 1: we got to get into the Bills news because coming 232 00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:03,200 Speaker 1: up very shortly, we're going to be joined by CBS 233 00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:06,760 Speaker 1: sideline reporter Evan Washburn, who, as we know, covers the 234 00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:10,320 Speaker 1: Ravens and does Ravens broadcasts in the preseason. He's based 235 00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:12,480 Speaker 1: out of Baltimore. He knows the Ravens inside and out, 236 00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:14,200 Speaker 1: and I have to double check he might even be 237 00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:17,360 Speaker 1: on he might even be covering this game, Bills Ravens. 238 00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:19,240 Speaker 1: I think he is. I remember I was talking to 239 00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:22,400 Speaker 1: him at him and it was at Harlan harl and 240 00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:29,000 Speaker 1: Trent Greene. No, it's right, Charles and Evan Washburn will 241 00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:30,760 Speaker 1: be on the sidelines. He was telling me in training 242 00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:32,920 Speaker 1: camp he was doing this game. So we'll catch up 243 00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:35,200 Speaker 1: with him very shortly here. But we got to get 244 00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:38,680 Speaker 1: into this. Multiple reports are out there already. Free agent 245 00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:42,920 Speaker 1: cornerback Xavier Rhodes is visiting with the Bills today. Buffalo 246 00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:45,320 Speaker 1: currently without Christian Benford for at least a couple of weeks. 247 00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:49,560 Speaker 1: According to head coach Sean McDermott and his press conference yesterday, Benford, 248 00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:51,960 Speaker 1: as we know, broke his hand in Sunday's game. He 249 00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:54,680 Speaker 1: did finish the game, but only on special teams. He's 250 00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:58,560 Speaker 1: He's scheduled to have surgery on his hand today. The 251 00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:01,680 Speaker 1: status of Dane Jackson not yet known for this week, 252 00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:04,000 Speaker 1: so it's not surprising to see the team looking outside 253 00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:08,280 Speaker 1: the organization at the cornerback position. Rhodes, for those of 254 00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:10,720 Speaker 1: you who don't know, nine year veteran the league, played 255 00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:13,240 Speaker 1: the last two seasons with the Colts, first seven in Minnesota, 256 00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:16,280 Speaker 1: where Leslie Frasier was his head coach his rookie year. 257 00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:20,720 Speaker 1: Thirteen career interceptions, typical tall, long corner that the Bills 258 00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:26,040 Speaker 1: cove at six foot one right and then he'll right now, 259 00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:27,800 Speaker 1: I mean at the right out of the gate. It's 260 00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:29,200 Speaker 1: going to be for depth. They just want the guy 261 00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:32,080 Speaker 1: ready in case somebody line up. Who's done it, Steve, 262 00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:34,200 Speaker 1: Let's think about this. The longer it goes, the more 263 00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:36,400 Speaker 1: he gets acclimated to the defense. Yeah, they could use him. 264 00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:40,240 Speaker 1: Right So if we go under the assumption, and it's 265 00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:43,200 Speaker 1: only an assumption right now, that Dane Jackson not ready 266 00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:46,080 Speaker 1: to play this week, you conceivably go into the game 267 00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:50,440 Speaker 1: with Kayer Elam JaMarcus Ingram is probably a call up 268 00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:53,640 Speaker 1: from the practice squad for a second straight week. Cam 269 00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:56,880 Speaker 1: Lewis and Saran Neil are your only other corners, and 270 00:16:56,920 --> 00:17:00,600 Speaker 1: it's clear after seeing Ingram play corner for Lewis and 271 00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:05,399 Speaker 1: Neil that Rhodes, if he signed, he could be the 272 00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:12,960 Speaker 1: team's third corner at worst this week. Maybe maybe depend Yeah, 273 00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:16,440 Speaker 1: I mean if the assumption that Dange's not yet ready 274 00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:21,040 Speaker 1: now he might be signed him. Um, he's got some 275 00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:22,800 Speaker 1: time to get up and get acclimated and get some 276 00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:27,520 Speaker 1: coverages under his belt, no question about it. Plus you'll have, um, 277 00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:30,440 Speaker 1: maybe Payer is gonna be out there and have somebody 278 00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:33,760 Speaker 1: out there going to tell him what he's got to do. Well, Yeah, 279 00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:38,720 Speaker 1: that the question remains how how well school is he 280 00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:42,840 Speaker 1: gonna be? I think yeah, I think he's strictly a 281 00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:45,159 Speaker 1: depth piece. I mean, they do not want him on 282 00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:48,720 Speaker 1: the field if they can help not in the first week. No, Um, well, 283 00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:50,760 Speaker 1: the longer it goes, the more you guys got a chance, 284 00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:53,320 Speaker 1: the guy's gotta make, you're gonna be You could potentially 285 00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:59,080 Speaker 1: be weighing JaMarcus Ingram, who didn't play poorly last week. 286 00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:03,119 Speaker 1: I'll give him Mark for that, or Xavier Rhodes, So 287 00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:06,160 Speaker 1: those are your I think that's the decision they're making, 288 00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:11,360 Speaker 1: assuming Dan Jackson isn't well enough to play coming off 289 00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:14,400 Speaker 1: the neck injury. So we'll have to see. And part 290 00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:17,080 Speaker 1: of the reason why is I think cam Lewis is 291 00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:20,120 Speaker 1: viewed as the backup nickel to Tarren Johnson, and he's 292 00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:24,040 Speaker 1: also a backup safety right now, m because you haven't 293 00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:28,520 Speaker 1: you haven't added back to the roster there either, you know, 294 00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:33,080 Speaker 1: with Hide going to I R. So, so there's that 295 00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:35,760 Speaker 1: as well. There was more injury news from the Bills. 296 00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:39,240 Speaker 1: Offensive lineman Tommy Doyle, who stepped in for an injured 297 00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:44,000 Speaker 1: Ryan Bates late in the game last week, tore his ACL. 298 00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:49,000 Speaker 1: He's out for the season. Yeah, So Steve eric Wood 299 00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,080 Speaker 1: and I were texting back and forth on that when 300 00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:55,080 Speaker 1: that news came out, because you think about that possession 301 00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:57,120 Speaker 1: at the end of the game on the two yard 302 00:18:57,160 --> 00:19:01,479 Speaker 1: line and you ask, why are they throwing. Why are 303 00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:04,360 Speaker 1: they throwing? Why are they not running? If he tore 304 00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:07,320 Speaker 1: his acls prior to that series, that would be a 305 00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:09,879 Speaker 1: good reason why. Yeah, he toughed it out and finished 306 00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:11,440 Speaker 1: the game the way I understand it, he toughed it 307 00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:17,040 Speaker 1: out and finished the game with an ACL and wow. Wow. Yeah, 308 00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:19,520 Speaker 1: So with a three pound or leaning on you everything, right, 309 00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:22,639 Speaker 1: that's a rough, that's a rough asking God there's his 310 00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:24,520 Speaker 1: heart for trying to do that and stuff. But that's 311 00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:26,520 Speaker 1: why we were. The Bills were in such a state 312 00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:27,960 Speaker 1: at the end of that game. I mean they were 313 00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:33,840 Speaker 1: just everybody was completely exhausted and there was nobody who 314 00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:35,600 Speaker 1: could come in and give you a rest, even for 315 00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:41,960 Speaker 1: one play. The bench was empty. Yeah, empty. So incredibly 316 00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:46,480 Speaker 1: bad news for Tommy Doyle. He's out for the season though, 317 00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:50,320 Speaker 1: right Their rose is coming into you know, have a 318 00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:51,760 Speaker 1: look see to see if they need some help, and 319 00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:55,919 Speaker 1: they probably do. And I think it also says, like 320 00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:57,920 Speaker 1: you said, I think it says more about Dane Jackson 321 00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:00,439 Speaker 1: and all of that than it does anything else. And 322 00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:03,080 Speaker 1: that's not the end of the list. Ryan Bates, who 323 00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:06,440 Speaker 1: Tommy Doyle came in for, is in the concussion protocol, 324 00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:09,879 Speaker 1: so We'll have to monitor his status through the course 325 00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:12,879 Speaker 1: of this week. Buffalo does get a lineman back in 326 00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:17,720 Speaker 1: Bobby Hart, who returns from his one game suspension, so 327 00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:22,080 Speaker 1: he's back on the roster. And not for nothing, Steve, 328 00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:24,399 Speaker 1: he had a pretty good training camp in preseason playing 329 00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:28,160 Speaker 1: the guard position. I think at tackle he was inconsistent 330 00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:30,240 Speaker 1: in his time here in Buffalo, but he looked pretty 331 00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:33,119 Speaker 1: good at guard through the preseason. He's a good so 332 00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:35,879 Speaker 1: he could be an answer, you know, if Van Roten 333 00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:38,480 Speaker 1: is not healthy because he couldn't finish the game last 334 00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:42,199 Speaker 1: week either. Yeah, because Van Roten was the first lineman 335 00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:44,560 Speaker 1: off the bench, guard to guard. But he may not 336 00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:46,200 Speaker 1: be an option this week. We don't know until the 337 00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:48,520 Speaker 1: Wednesday injury and when you start talking about offensive line 338 00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:51,320 Speaker 1: injuries and how they moved stuff around as shuffle guys in, 339 00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:54,240 Speaker 1: and it becomes an absolute jigsaw puzzle. So we're gonna 340 00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:55,560 Speaker 1: have to wait and see till later in the week 341 00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:57,720 Speaker 1: before we actually even get a handle on what they're thinking. 342 00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:00,920 Speaker 1: And that's still not the end of it. Jake Kumero 343 00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:03,560 Speaker 1: is week to week with a high ankle sprain, so 344 00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:07,080 Speaker 1: do not expect to see him this week. So maybe 345 00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:11,480 Speaker 1: we see Khalil Shaker up as the fifth receiver this week, 346 00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:14,560 Speaker 1: and then Ed Oliver, Jordan Poyer, Mitch Morse were all 347 00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:18,280 Speaker 1: considered day to day by head coach Sean McDermott. Jordan 348 00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:21,600 Speaker 1: Phillips with the hamstring, there was no update on him, 349 00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:23,840 Speaker 1: but I would estimate he's still probably a week or 350 00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:27,160 Speaker 1: two away. A hamstring injury is no joke, but we'll 351 00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:30,280 Speaker 1: see what the injury report reveals to us tomorrow afternoon. 352 00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:32,360 Speaker 1: We have to take a break here. When we come back, 353 00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:36,160 Speaker 1: we're going to be joined by NFL on CBS sideline 354 00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:39,479 Speaker 1: reporter Evan Washburn doing the Bills Ravens game on Sunday. 355 00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:41,399 Speaker 1: We'll catch up with him next here on One Bills Live, 356 00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:58,360 Speaker 1: presented by Khalida Health. It's Buffalo Bills Radio. Welcome back 357 00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:00,800 Speaker 1: to the one Bills Live, Chris Brown's caster. Would you 358 00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:04,520 Speaker 1: here on a Tuesday. We're gonna be joined momentarily by 359 00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:08,080 Speaker 1: NFL on CBS sideline reporter Evan Washburn, who's going to 360 00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:12,240 Speaker 1: be doing the game on Sunday in Baltimore with Ian 361 00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:15,800 Speaker 1: Eagle and Charles Davis. He'll be manning the sidelines. He 362 00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:18,560 Speaker 1: did make it up to training camp this summer for 363 00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:21,680 Speaker 1: the Bills, and we had him on the show actually 364 00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:23,720 Speaker 1: a training campus right out there at Saint John Fisher, 365 00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:26,600 Speaker 1: So be good to get him back on. Give us 366 00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:30,560 Speaker 1: the update on the latest from the Ravens, who are 367 00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:35,120 Speaker 1: pretty darn impressive out of the shoot here. Yes, they 368 00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:38,320 Speaker 1: had a second half collapse against the Dolphins in Week 369 00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:41,000 Speaker 1: two and a fourth quarter half. Yeah, they had two 370 00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:44,760 Speaker 1: broken covers that cost him, right, and that's what Miami's 371 00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:46,840 Speaker 1: relied on to get to a three and oh start, 372 00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:49,240 Speaker 1: some big play, just a few bleak plays on offense 373 00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:51,760 Speaker 1: and then a defense that holds it down on the 374 00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:56,000 Speaker 1: other end. Although Baltimore ran it up on the Dolphins 375 00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,800 Speaker 1: early in that game, sprinding out to a twenty eight 376 00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:01,879 Speaker 1: to seven leave put thirty eight points on the Dolphins. 377 00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:08,320 Speaker 1: And right now, Lamar Jackson is right at the top 378 00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:11,880 Speaker 1: of the league. Josh Allen leads the league in passing yards, 379 00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:16,000 Speaker 1: but if I remember what I saw yesterday, Lamar Jackson 380 00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:20,760 Speaker 1: leads the league in passer rating, so Lamar with a 381 00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:23,880 Speaker 1: one nineteen passer rating on the season. He also leads 382 00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:29,520 Speaker 1: the league in touchdown passes with ten and he's averaging 383 00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:31,760 Speaker 1: eight and a half yards an attempt. That is a 384 00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:35,679 Speaker 1: fat number. Yea. And people thought the passing game was 385 00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:37,760 Speaker 1: going to go in the tank after they traded away 386 00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:41,920 Speaker 1: Marky's Hollywood Brown, But Rashad Bateman, their former first round 387 00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:45,480 Speaker 1: draft joice of a year ago, is looking good out 388 00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:49,200 Speaker 1: of the gate. And they still rely heavily on their 389 00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:51,960 Speaker 1: tight end, Mark Andrews, who is the most productive tight 390 00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:54,679 Speaker 1: end in football right now, even more so than Travis 391 00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:58,160 Speaker 1: Kelsey and some of the others. Right. Yeah, Baltimore scorned 392 00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:00,680 Speaker 1: some points. They put twenty four were upon the Jets 393 00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:02,639 Speaker 1: in Week one, Okay, so he's just getting out of 394 00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:06,520 Speaker 1: the gates, and then they putty thirty eight against Miami 395 00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:08,840 Speaker 1: and then thirty seven last week against the Patriots. They're 396 00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:11,960 Speaker 1: they're hanging some numbers up. Yeah. This is their tour 397 00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:15,720 Speaker 1: through the AFC East. They've played each of their first 398 00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:18,360 Speaker 1: three games against AFC East opponents, and they're gonna wrap 399 00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:20,320 Speaker 1: up their tour of the AFC East with the Bills 400 00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:22,639 Speaker 1: here in Week four. Kind of a weird quirk in 401 00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:25,960 Speaker 1: the schedule for them. Yeah, it is, it is, But 402 00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:27,960 Speaker 1: you know, they're two and one. They're two and one, 403 00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:32,080 Speaker 1: and they could be whisker away Whisker away from three 404 00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:35,520 Speaker 1: and Oz. Yeah. So they just got JK. Dobbins back 405 00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:41,760 Speaker 1: in the lineup this past week, and Dobbins with a 406 00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:45,040 Speaker 1: pitch count, if you will, because he's coming off a 407 00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:49,360 Speaker 1: major knee injury from last year. Seven carries for twenty 408 00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:54,159 Speaker 1: three yards. They had Justice Hill as the other running 409 00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:58,080 Speaker 1: backs supplementing his effort. But we do have Evan with 410 00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:01,359 Speaker 1: us now. So here is NFL on CBS sideline reporter 411 00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:04,120 Speaker 1: Evan Washburn joining us. Haven't talked to you since training camp. 412 00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:06,720 Speaker 1: How are you doing, Evan? I know it seems like 413 00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:08,840 Speaker 1: ages ago, but I guess it was only I don't 414 00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:11,560 Speaker 1: know what six or eight weeks ago. I'm doing well. 415 00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:14,240 Speaker 1: Excited to be with you guys. Pumped for this game 416 00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:16,159 Speaker 1: this weekend. It's a big one. I'd be a lot 417 00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:18,960 Speaker 1: of fun. Right. My concern right off the bad, Evan, 418 00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:24,440 Speaker 1: is the forecast for game day. We know that Hurricane 419 00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:28,280 Speaker 1: Ian is making its way into the Gulf as we speak, 420 00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:30,800 Speaker 1: and it is so supposed to be moving up and 421 00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:34,639 Speaker 1: eastward out to the eastern seaboard, and there are some 422 00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:37,640 Speaker 1: early tracks that are saying it could be very wet 423 00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:40,639 Speaker 1: and very windy on Sunday, for Baltimore and Buffalo. What 424 00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:43,639 Speaker 1: have you seen are they? Are they panicking? Is it 425 00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:46,680 Speaker 1: like Defcon five in Baltimore yet? Or what are the weather? 426 00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:50,360 Speaker 1: What are the meteorologists doing up down there? Nothing yet? 427 00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:53,480 Speaker 1: It's gorgeous today. I know that means nothing in terms 428 00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:58,399 Speaker 1: of Sunday, but I think if conditions are brutal, that 429 00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:01,520 Speaker 1: plays to Baltimore hand. So I don't think they're going 430 00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:04,960 Speaker 1: to complain about maybe some wind and some rain that 431 00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:07,720 Speaker 1: maybe makes this a sloppier game the one that's played 432 00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:09,360 Speaker 1: on the ground and not as much to the air. 433 00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:12,240 Speaker 1: But let's be real, fellas. I was there for that 434 00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:17,280 Speaker 1: division or wildcard game when you guys had that Arctic 435 00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:19,680 Speaker 1: freeze going and some wins, Right, this will be a 436 00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:23,240 Speaker 1: cake walk compared to that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, would. We're 437 00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:26,760 Speaker 1: looking at one of the most fascinating stories of the 438 00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:30,879 Speaker 1: offseason and now into the regular season, as Lamar Jackson 439 00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:34,240 Speaker 1: and his contract couldn't get one done with the Baltimore Ravens, 440 00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:36,720 Speaker 1: and Lamar just said, hey, I'm gonna play. I'm gonna 441 00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:40,359 Speaker 1: bet on myself, and he has gotten off to a 442 00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:45,359 Speaker 1: smoking hot start. He's running for touchdowns, throwing for touchdowns, 443 00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:48,200 Speaker 1: his passer rating is great. He's at the top five 444 00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:51,560 Speaker 1: or six in the league in passing. Just you know, 445 00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:54,520 Speaker 1: Ravens are humming along, scoring thirty seven and thirty eight 446 00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:58,120 Speaker 1: points a week. But the Ravens to me, are letting 447 00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:00,520 Speaker 1: him play and they haven't gotten a contract done. They're 448 00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:02,000 Speaker 1: not It sounds like they're not going to work on 449 00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:05,600 Speaker 1: it during the season, and the Ravens seem okay with 450 00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:08,320 Speaker 1: just saying, well, you know, let the guy play highly 451 00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:13,000 Speaker 1: motivated and we'll reap the benefits for now. Makes sense 452 00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:15,400 Speaker 1: to me, Steve. I mean, I think the Ravens would 453 00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:17,119 Speaker 1: have liked to have gotten a deal done, but it 454 00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:19,400 Speaker 1: had to be a deal where they felt like they 455 00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:21,639 Speaker 1: were getting what they wanted out of it. And conversely, 456 00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:24,520 Speaker 1: obviously Lamar wants the same and they just were too 457 00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:28,000 Speaker 1: far apart in that area and they're getting I think 458 00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:30,359 Speaker 1: the best version of Lamar Jackson we've seen, and that 459 00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:34,600 Speaker 1: includes the twenty nineteen year where he won NFL MVP. 460 00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:37,720 Speaker 1: And that's not to say he's gonna accomplish that goal 461 00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:41,040 Speaker 1: or that award once again, but just a command that 462 00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:46,119 Speaker 1: he has as a quarterback. And look, twenty nineteen to 463 00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:49,840 Speaker 1: me was about Lamar's ability and also the scheme that 464 00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:52,280 Speaker 1: Greg Roman and that staff had built and how it 465 00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:54,880 Speaker 1: just sort of it took the league by storm. Well, 466 00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:58,520 Speaker 1: he's playing the position right now, albeit with his legs, 467 00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:01,880 Speaker 1: but just as much with his arm, and he's much 468 00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:06,720 Speaker 1: more accurate. He's dissecting defenses. John Harball lent some words 469 00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:09,000 Speaker 1: to that after the New England game, where you know 470 00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:11,879 Speaker 1: you're gonna be tested mentally, and Lamar has been up 471 00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:13,919 Speaker 1: to the task. So if you want to call it 472 00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:17,480 Speaker 1: betting on himself through three weeks, he's winning the bet. 473 00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:22,680 Speaker 1: Talk to me, Evan if you could about Baltimore's offensive line. 474 00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:28,200 Speaker 1: Ronnie Stanley yet to play this season, and it's been 475 00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:30,760 Speaker 1: a little bit of a revolving door there. Juwan James 476 00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:33,199 Speaker 1: plays in Week one, tears his achilles, he's out for 477 00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:37,000 Speaker 1: the year. And then I mean they even had their 478 00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:40,160 Speaker 1: rookie fourth round pick over there a little bit last week, right, 479 00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:43,640 Speaker 1: Daniel file Lelee, the giant human being of like three 480 00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:47,760 Speaker 1: hundred and eighty something pounds. Who do you think it 481 00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:51,120 Speaker 1: is going forward? Does Stanley have a chance? Number one? Evan? 482 00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:54,360 Speaker 1: And then number two? If it's not him, is it 483 00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:58,200 Speaker 1: Patrick McCarry is it Fi Lele who is manning the 484 00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:02,880 Speaker 1: blindside spot. Well, look, the goal is to get Ronnie 485 00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:05,320 Speaker 1: Stanley back out there. He's been dealing with a left 486 00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:09,600 Speaker 1: ankle injury that this goes back now almost two seasons, 487 00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:13,040 Speaker 1: and he came back for a game last year and 488 00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:16,440 Speaker 1: then had a regression with that injury. He's been back 489 00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:19,520 Speaker 1: out at practice, He's been working out all through training camp. 490 00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:22,720 Speaker 1: He was one of many players that missed all of 491 00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:26,760 Speaker 1: last season that they've really been careful kind of reintroducing 492 00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:30,040 Speaker 1: into live action. JK. Dobbins was one of those guys 493 00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:33,240 Speaker 1: getting his first game action last week. So the goal 494 00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:35,640 Speaker 1: is to have Ronnie Stanley is the left tackle. That's 495 00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:38,000 Speaker 1: so they paid him all that money for and drafted 496 00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:41,080 Speaker 1: him where they drafted him a few years ago. So 497 00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:45,320 Speaker 1: that's option one. At some point this season they would hope. 498 00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:49,360 Speaker 1: I think in the meantime, Patrick McCarry coming off an 499 00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:52,920 Speaker 1: ankle injury in New England, the senses, at least from 500 00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:54,719 Speaker 1: what we heard after the game, that it's not a 501 00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:58,680 Speaker 1: long term injury. So he continues to possibly be the 502 00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:02,600 Speaker 1: guy and waiting or the guy in that spot until 503 00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:06,640 Speaker 1: Stanley's available. Juan James suffered mckilles. So he's out, and 504 00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:09,280 Speaker 1: you mentioned it. The rookie steps in there and guys, 505 00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:12,280 Speaker 1: he's never played left tackle at any point in his 506 00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:14,520 Speaker 1: football career, and he comes in and has to deal 507 00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:17,360 Speaker 1: with guys like Matt Judon and after a rough start 508 00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:21,480 Speaker 1: and Getrick wise did pretty well. So I think they're 509 00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:23,800 Speaker 1: just kind of holding that spot as long as they 510 00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:26,320 Speaker 1: can until Ronnie Stanley can step back in. Right. What 511 00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:29,600 Speaker 1: are the early returns on the defensive coordinator Mike McDonald. 512 00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:32,760 Speaker 1: I know he took over for Wink Martindale this year 513 00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:35,920 Speaker 1: and it's a different kind of animal now than we've 514 00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:39,720 Speaker 1: seen in Baltimore for a long time. Yes, Steve, it's 515 00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:42,480 Speaker 1: it's a mixed bag at this point. I think there's 516 00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:45,000 Speaker 1: aspects of it, and there's so much belief in what 517 00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:47,720 Speaker 1: Mike McDonald can do. I mean, he really came up 518 00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:51,280 Speaker 1: in the system, in the organization as a defensive quality 519 00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:54,000 Speaker 1: control assistant all the way up and then obviously goes 520 00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:57,440 Speaker 1: to Michigan to work with Jim and now comes back home, 521 00:30:57,480 --> 00:31:00,360 Speaker 1: as they put it, to be the defensive coordinator. It's 522 00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:04,280 Speaker 1: it's different than Wink system of all out blitz and 523 00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:09,720 Speaker 1: and constantly kind of just attacking quarterbacks in that way, 524 00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:13,600 Speaker 1: but the concern has obviously been the back end. And look, 525 00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:15,440 Speaker 1: I don't know if this is as much an indictment 526 00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:20,400 Speaker 1: on scheme as it is just the personnel, because injuries 527 00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:23,000 Speaker 1: were such a storyline for Baltimore year ago and they 528 00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:25,960 Speaker 1: continue to be because of the guys one coming off 529 00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:28,240 Speaker 1: of injury and when are they going to be at 530 00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:33,320 Speaker 1: full speed and really at their highest caliber. And then 531 00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:35,600 Speaker 1: they've already started to lose some guys over the course 532 00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:38,360 Speaker 1: of the first three weeks, and that back end was 533 00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:42,920 Speaker 1: exposed in Week two against Miami and had some moments 534 00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:45,280 Speaker 1: even against New England, but they made the plays down 535 00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:47,840 Speaker 1: the stretch. So I think it's it's still a wait 536 00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:51,360 Speaker 1: and see at least from the outside, Steve when it 537 00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:54,560 Speaker 1: comes to Mike McDonald's defense, But internally they had the 538 00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:57,640 Speaker 1: utmost confidence and what he's doing with that group, Yeah, 539 00:31:57,680 --> 00:32:00,680 Speaker 1: because it's curious. I mean, I know the defense was 540 00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:02,920 Speaker 1: able to close the game out last week for them 541 00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:07,040 Speaker 1: against the Patriots, but you look at you know, some 542 00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:10,440 Speaker 1: of the early numbers, and you know, seven sacks in 543 00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:15,720 Speaker 1: three games is not terrible. It's also not elite. Where 544 00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:20,080 Speaker 1: would you peg the development of their pass rush in 545 00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:24,160 Speaker 1: this new scheme, you know, with o Way and Justin 546 00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:29,000 Speaker 1: Houston being the primary players there and Chris Justin Houston's 547 00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:30,760 Speaker 1: dealing with a growing injury right now, so it kind 548 00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:33,480 Speaker 1: of fits with this constant I mean, I know Buffalo 549 00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:36,960 Speaker 1: is dealing with it themselves, just the injuries continue to 550 00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:39,600 Speaker 1: be the dominant storyline weekend and week out. Look, I 551 00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:42,960 Speaker 1: think if you were having a pass rush conversation with 552 00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:46,360 Speaker 1: Baltimore at the end of this season or really next season, 553 00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:48,520 Speaker 1: they're in a great spot. At least they feel like 554 00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:52,160 Speaker 1: they are because they've got Way, a jobbie who they 555 00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:55,200 Speaker 1: drafted out of Michigan who dropped because of that achilles 556 00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:58,240 Speaker 1: tear during a workout, and they feel like they got 557 00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:02,000 Speaker 1: a first rounder in a later round. And then Taias Bowser, 558 00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:06,280 Speaker 1: who's been a consistent performer, not an a list pass rusher, 559 00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:09,240 Speaker 1: but a guy they've given some decent money too. I 560 00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:11,200 Speaker 1: think he had seven or eight sacks a year ago. 561 00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:14,280 Speaker 1: He's coming off an achilles, So it sounds like a 562 00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:18,360 Speaker 1: broken record here. But once guys are healthy, whether it's 563 00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:21,280 Speaker 1: with current injuries or coming off as season enders a 564 00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:24,120 Speaker 1: year ago, they feel like they're in a great spot. 565 00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:27,200 Speaker 1: That doesn't help them Sunday against Buffalo, and it hasn't 566 00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:29,840 Speaker 1: helped them necessarily first in the first three weeks of 567 00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:33,760 Speaker 1: the season. But that's kind of the story at that position. 568 00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:38,040 Speaker 1: And they just signed should mention Jason Pierre Paul who 569 00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:41,040 Speaker 1: was a free agent, and look, I mean, he's one 570 00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:44,320 Speaker 1: of the greatest stories as I can remember in recent memory, 571 00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:48,200 Speaker 1: based off of what he's overcome, how he performed down 572 00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:50,000 Speaker 1: in Tampa, big part of that Super Bowl run a 573 00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:53,240 Speaker 1: few years ago. And this is how Erica Costa, Ozzie 574 00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:56,640 Speaker 1: John Harball worked. They'll grab guys and see where they 575 00:33:56,640 --> 00:33:58,680 Speaker 1: can get out of them later in their career, and 576 00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:03,720 Speaker 1: maybe JPP helped stem the tide until guys like Tias 577 00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:05,880 Speaker 1: Bowser come back. Maybe they get a job he later 578 00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:08,759 Speaker 1: in the year. One of the things also that has 579 00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:12,200 Speaker 1: aided in Lamar Jackson becoming a little bit of better 580 00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:14,839 Speaker 1: a thrower. The weapons on the outside, Rashad Bateman has 581 00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:17,200 Speaker 1: really come on, I thought, and played pretty well in 582 00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:19,399 Speaker 1: the last couple of games. But the guy that's kind 583 00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:23,520 Speaker 1: of scary if you're looking at this team is DuVernay. DuVernay, 584 00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:26,719 Speaker 1: He's got some wheels. They use him as a kick returner. 585 00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:30,840 Speaker 1: I mean, he's got all kinds of athleticism, and I 586 00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:33,239 Speaker 1: think the weapons on the outside have really made a 587 00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:36,359 Speaker 1: difference for Lamar. Plus there's no doubt too, and we've 588 00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:39,479 Speaker 1: talked about earlier. Lamar is a different guy these days. 589 00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:43,200 Speaker 1: He really is. And I think Devin DuVernay is a 590 00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:48,399 Speaker 1: great example, Steve of the improvement of Lamar as an 591 00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:51,919 Speaker 1: accurate thrower, because Devin DuVernay is not a big guy. 592 00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:55,799 Speaker 1: He's a burner, but the windows are tight if I mean, 593 00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:58,520 Speaker 1: he'll get some separation, but Lamar's got to fit it 594 00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:01,080 Speaker 1: in there, and he's done that. Mark Andrews is still 595 00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:04,279 Speaker 1: their best pass catcher at the tight end position and 596 00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:07,080 Speaker 1: most consistent, but he's that big body guy with a 597 00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:11,520 Speaker 1: massive catch radius. Devin DuVernay is not. But he's a 598 00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:14,760 Speaker 1: great example of skill development. He's grown in this system. 599 00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:18,520 Speaker 1: He's an all Pro returner that is now showing himself 600 00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:22,400 Speaker 1: to be a legitimate number two wide receiver for the 601 00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:27,200 Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens. And the chemistry and trust that Lamar has 602 00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:30,880 Speaker 1: in DuVernay, I think has helped give this offense to 603 00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:34,160 Speaker 1: me a surprising look at least through the first three 604 00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:37,879 Speaker 1: weeks because the thought guys coming into this year with 605 00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:40,919 Speaker 1: now three tight ends, they bring in Isaiah Likely out 606 00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:43,880 Speaker 1: of Coastal Carolina, Nick Boyle's back off the injury, that 607 00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:46,040 Speaker 1: this is going to be again that three tight end 608 00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:48,400 Speaker 1: system that we saw in twenty nineteen where they just 609 00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:52,960 Speaker 1: almost looked like in the Navy Midshipment, running constant options 610 00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:57,040 Speaker 1: and really confusing defenses with the run game. I've seen 611 00:35:57,080 --> 00:35:59,480 Speaker 1: it as more balanced. Yes, Lamar is running the ball 612 00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:02,600 Speaker 1: when Sarah he's putting up those type of numbers, but 613 00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:04,880 Speaker 1: it looks different because I think they just have so 614 00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:09,400 Speaker 1: much trust in Lamar the passer what Mark Andrews obviously brings. 615 00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:12,600 Speaker 1: But now with Bateman coming on as a as a 616 00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:15,400 Speaker 1: second year player, and Devin DuVernay as kind of that 617 00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:18,320 Speaker 1: second or third option, it's it's a really a balanced 618 00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:22,920 Speaker 1: group in the secondary. Evan, You've got two corners that 619 00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:25,000 Speaker 1: are a little longer in the tooth coming off of 620 00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:29,680 Speaker 1: major season ending injuries. I don't want to say that 621 00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:33,240 Speaker 1: they're over the hill or anything. Marcus Peters and Marlon 622 00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:36,960 Speaker 1: Humphrey are the guys I'm talking about there. They've been 623 00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:40,600 Speaker 1: victimized a little bit. I know they've had some young 624 00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:43,319 Speaker 1: players at safety that have had to step in from 625 00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:46,920 Speaker 1: time to time, Kyle Hamilton being one of them. Where 626 00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:52,480 Speaker 1: would you assess the secondary play through three games, knowing 627 00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:56,080 Speaker 1: this defense has given up some points the last couple 628 00:36:56,120 --> 00:37:00,319 Speaker 1: of weeks. Well, I think it's it's it's to have 629 00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:03,560 Speaker 1: performed when you look at the numbers, and really the 630 00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:06,759 Speaker 1: outlier is that fourth quarter against Miami, and that was, 631 00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:09,640 Speaker 1: by all intents and purposes, kind of a meltdown, and 632 00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:12,640 Speaker 1: they acknowledged it. I mean, and part of it fell 633 00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:15,000 Speaker 1: on a rookie and Kyle Hamilton. But I think when 634 00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:18,279 Speaker 1: you look Chris at the personnel, I still think it's 635 00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:21,480 Speaker 1: it's got a lot of a listers and Marcus Williams, 636 00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:23,960 Speaker 1: so I didn't know much about the safety they signed 637 00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:27,120 Speaker 1: it free agency from the Saints. Has been arguably the 638 00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:30,600 Speaker 1: best player defensively for the Ravens, and alongside Chuck Clark, 639 00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:32,880 Speaker 1: who a lot of people don't know across the league, 640 00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:37,640 Speaker 1: sort of casual fans, he's as brilliant and smartest safety 641 00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:40,080 Speaker 1: and talented as safety as there is. So those two 642 00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:45,000 Speaker 1: in the back end I think have provided stability. You 643 00:37:45,040 --> 00:37:48,480 Speaker 1: mentioned Marcus Peters, He's coming off a serious injury. He 644 00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:50,799 Speaker 1: looked to be back to form in a lot of 645 00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:53,320 Speaker 1: ways against New England and Marlin Humphrey to me, and 646 00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:55,640 Speaker 1: this is something I'm looking forward to diving into over 647 00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:58,160 Speaker 1: the course of this week as you kind of play 648 00:37:58,239 --> 00:38:02,560 Speaker 1: that prediction game. Where's Marlin going to be deployed? Because 649 00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:06,560 Speaker 1: he's paid like a top cover corner in this league, 650 00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:08,879 Speaker 1: but they kind of use him in the slot a lot. 651 00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:11,400 Speaker 1: I mean, he's a really physical corner. We know his 652 00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:14,759 Speaker 1: ability to force fumbles. I mean, he's they call him 653 00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:17,520 Speaker 1: punch because he's just constantly punching the ball out. So 654 00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:20,960 Speaker 1: does he match up with Diggs Moore when Diggs is inside? 655 00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:24,719 Speaker 1: How do they deal with Gabe Davis? Because the glaring 656 00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:27,880 Speaker 1: hole right now when they match up with teams like 657 00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:32,160 Speaker 1: Buffalo or Miami, is that if Marlin's inside and they've 658 00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:36,560 Speaker 1: got Marcus on the outside, that second or however you 659 00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:39,120 Speaker 1: want to view a third corner, that's a spot where 660 00:38:39,160 --> 00:38:42,120 Speaker 1: they haven't had somebody really grab it. They've got Brandon Stevens, 661 00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:45,280 Speaker 1: who's a second year player at SMU that played safety 662 00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:48,120 Speaker 1: as a former running back. They got Jaalen Armor Davis 663 00:38:48,440 --> 00:38:52,160 Speaker 1: from Alabama. Fourth rounder, So guys that have shown potential, 664 00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:55,040 Speaker 1: but when they're after the deal with Jalen Wattle or 665 00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:58,080 Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill or this week maybe Gabe Davis or Stefan 666 00:38:58,200 --> 00:39:02,480 Speaker 1: Diggs or Isaiah mckenne. That's those are the guys that 667 00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:05,759 Speaker 1: have been exposed, along with Kyla Hamilton a couple of 668 00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:09,560 Speaker 1: times in that Dolphins game. So that's a long way 669 00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:11,759 Speaker 1: of saying I still think it's the potential to be 670 00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:14,799 Speaker 1: a really good secondary. They're still finding their way and 671 00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:17,919 Speaker 1: they do have some vulnerabilities at that at that sort 672 00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:21,120 Speaker 1: of second outside corner, if you will. Last one for me, 673 00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:22,640 Speaker 1: I mean, you've been around. I mean, this is we're 674 00:39:22,640 --> 00:39:24,359 Speaker 1: written the month. First month of the season. You've been 675 00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:26,880 Speaker 1: working every week you were You had the Steelers at 676 00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:31,640 Speaker 1: the Patriots hosting the Patriots, you had the Bengals this 677 00:39:31,719 --> 00:39:34,719 Speaker 1: last week at the Jets. What are some of the 678 00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:37,400 Speaker 1: surprising teams? I mean, because you know, the Bengals pounced 679 00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:40,120 Speaker 1: come back after the AFC Championship last year and they 680 00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:42,239 Speaker 1: kind of stumble out of the gate. You had the 681 00:39:42,280 --> 00:39:44,760 Speaker 1: Steelers trying to find their way, the Jets are getting 682 00:39:44,760 --> 00:39:46,080 Speaker 1: trying to get better. What are some of the things 683 00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:47,759 Speaker 1: you've seen in the first month of the season. The 684 00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:51,920 Speaker 1: games you've covered well, I think you mentioned it, Steve. 685 00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:57,480 Speaker 1: The Bengals situation was probably the most interesting because what 686 00:39:57,560 --> 00:40:01,319 Speaker 1: they look like in Week one was ring because it 687 00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:03,759 Speaker 1: was about as bad as you could play. But then 688 00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:05,800 Speaker 1: they really should have won the game if they didn't 689 00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:10,360 Speaker 1: lose their long snapper to a bicep injury. And then 690 00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:13,359 Speaker 1: they coupled that with the loss to Dallas and Cooper Rush. 691 00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:15,799 Speaker 1: But now Cooper Rush is good. I don't know. After 692 00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:19,160 Speaker 1: Monday night and then I think they I don't want 693 00:40:19,160 --> 00:40:21,080 Speaker 1: to say they had a full get right against the 694 00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:23,520 Speaker 1: New York Jets, but it was sort of like, Okay, 695 00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:25,719 Speaker 1: we can relax a little bit. We get the win. 696 00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:28,880 Speaker 1: We look a little bit more like ourselves. So I 697 00:40:28,920 --> 00:40:33,600 Speaker 1: don't think that the panic is there for the Bengals 698 00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:37,120 Speaker 1: like it was maybe a week ago. But really, Steve, 699 00:40:37,160 --> 00:40:39,719 Speaker 1: what stood out to me is just and it's kind 700 00:40:39,719 --> 00:40:42,120 Speaker 1: of what we said when we were there in Rochester. 701 00:40:42,760 --> 00:40:46,160 Speaker 1: This AFC is going to be an absolute gauntlet, and 702 00:40:46,840 --> 00:40:50,680 Speaker 1: you guys experienced it last week. Miami's for real. They're 703 00:40:50,680 --> 00:40:54,840 Speaker 1: not going anywhere, and despite a loss to the Colts 704 00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:58,280 Speaker 1: that was ugly, I don't think Kansas City's going anywhere. 705 00:40:58,360 --> 00:41:01,920 Speaker 1: I still think Buffalo, if you have to sort of 706 00:41:02,160 --> 00:41:04,560 Speaker 1: make a proclamation, is the one I would feel the 707 00:41:04,640 --> 00:41:08,400 Speaker 1: best about. I think Baltimore is eager to prove a 708 00:41:08,440 --> 00:41:10,680 Speaker 1: lot of people wrong and continue to play with a 709 00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:12,840 Speaker 1: chip on their shoulder and say they're for real. And 710 00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:16,720 Speaker 1: then there's the AFC West in Denver and the charges. 711 00:41:16,800 --> 00:41:20,200 Speaker 1: I don't know, it's just I'm continually validated. I guess 712 00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:23,200 Speaker 1: whether it's the games we're covering or when I'm catching 713 00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:25,440 Speaker 1: up Sunday night into Monday and then prepping for the 714 00:41:25,480 --> 00:41:30,160 Speaker 1: next week. Just how loaded this AFC is. All right, Evan, 715 00:41:30,239 --> 00:41:33,080 Speaker 1: thanks for the time. I'll see you down there on Sunday. 716 00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:35,680 Speaker 1: I'm bringing my rain gear. Seventy percent chance of rain, 717 00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:38,279 Speaker 1: sixty seven degrees for the high as the forecast. I'll 718 00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:41,680 Speaker 1: see on Sunday. Thanks heavn. Yeah, let's layer up. Great 719 00:41:41,719 --> 00:41:44,239 Speaker 1: to be with you guys, and we'll see in Baltimore. 720 00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:47,240 Speaker 1: All right, that's NFL on CBS sideline reporter Evan Washburn 721 00:41:47,360 --> 00:41:49,480 Speaker 1: joining us here. We have to take a break, but 722 00:41:49,520 --> 00:41:51,359 Speaker 1: when we come back, we'll get to some of your 723 00:41:51,360 --> 00:41:55,200 Speaker 1: phone calls. As we have our topic of discussion today 724 00:41:55,680 --> 00:41:58,160 Speaker 1: Which players do the Bills need back in the lineup 725 00:41:58,200 --> 00:42:01,799 Speaker 1: the most on Sunday against the Ravens. Steve and I 726 00:42:01,840 --> 00:42:04,000 Speaker 1: back in a second here on One Bills Live. Stay tuned. 727 00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:15,360 Speaker 1: The off season is difficult for any fan, but snap 728 00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:18,560 Speaker 1: Dragon Apple season kicks off in October and it's worth 729 00:42:18,600 --> 00:42:23,120 Speaker 1: the weight. Snap Dragon Apples the official apple of your 730 00:42:23,160 --> 00:42:26,719 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. Chris Brown, Steve Tasker back with you here 731 00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:30,680 Speaker 1: an hour number one of a Tuesday edition of One 732 00:42:30,760 --> 00:42:33,240 Speaker 1: Bills Live. And we want to get to the phones 733 00:42:33,320 --> 00:42:35,759 Speaker 1: because we are asking you today. It is the main 734 00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:40,840 Speaker 1: topic of conversation here. How quickly can the Bills get healthy? 735 00:42:41,239 --> 00:42:44,799 Speaker 1: And with that in mind, which player do you think 736 00:42:44,840 --> 00:42:47,720 Speaker 1: the Bills need back in the lineup the most on 737 00:42:47,760 --> 00:42:52,600 Speaker 1: Sunday against the Ravens. Eight oh three five fifty one 738 00:42:52,760 --> 00:42:55,680 Speaker 1: eight eight eight five fifty two, five fifty the number 739 00:42:55,719 --> 00:42:58,080 Speaker 1: to get on board? Do have an open line available 740 00:42:58,600 --> 00:43:02,120 Speaker 1: and we lead off here with Dave in Clarence. Dave, 741 00:43:02,160 --> 00:43:03,440 Speaker 1: what do you got for us your on One Bill's 742 00:43:03,480 --> 00:43:08,360 Speaker 1: Live and Rowell guys, the answer the question of the day. First, 743 00:43:09,120 --> 00:43:13,000 Speaker 1: we need as many defensive linemen healthy as we possibly 744 00:43:13,040 --> 00:43:16,759 Speaker 1: can get because our front sixth is the strength of 745 00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:20,640 Speaker 1: our defense. Now now just to move on and put 746 00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:24,200 Speaker 1: a caveat to the game. On Sunday, I was at 747 00:43:24,239 --> 00:43:26,680 Speaker 1: the game, and Brownie, I think you were there also, 748 00:43:26,800 --> 00:43:30,400 Speaker 1: were you not? Yes? Yes? Yes? Then then you know 749 00:43:30,920 --> 00:43:36,480 Speaker 1: how hot it was Saturday when I arrived. The thunderstorms 750 00:43:36,520 --> 00:43:38,640 Speaker 1: had come through and it had cooled down a lot. 751 00:43:38,800 --> 00:43:41,200 Speaker 1: I woke up Sunday morning and it felt like I 752 00:43:41,280 --> 00:43:45,240 Speaker 1: was in hell, and I know the way that field 753 00:43:45,360 --> 00:43:49,359 Speaker 1: is configured. The visiting team is in the sun the 754 00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:55,759 Speaker 1: whole game, and so our guys, to their credit, I 755 00:43:55,840 --> 00:43:58,600 Speaker 1: gained so much, so much respect for our team because 756 00:43:58,600 --> 00:44:01,719 Speaker 1: their credit, they played one hell of a game and 757 00:44:01,840 --> 00:44:04,600 Speaker 1: to lose by only two points to a team who 758 00:44:04,640 --> 00:44:09,160 Speaker 1: plays in that oppressive situations all the time, I guys 759 00:44:09,160 --> 00:44:13,280 Speaker 1: stood a tall And secondly, I have so much restrict 760 00:44:13,360 --> 00:44:17,640 Speaker 1: with Josh Allen. It's unbelievable because Josh is the only 761 00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:22,040 Speaker 1: player who played every snap on both sides of the ball. 762 00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:25,640 Speaker 1: He didn't come out one time for any offensive rust 763 00:44:26,160 --> 00:44:30,759 Speaker 1: and that cuts down the attempted task that ended up 764 00:44:30,800 --> 00:44:35,600 Speaker 1: in the dirt. Short. Josh, look any human being, he 765 00:44:35,640 --> 00:44:39,880 Speaker 1: would he would make that past normally ninety nine times 766 00:44:39,920 --> 00:44:42,360 Speaker 1: out of a hundred, I think he would just spent. 767 00:44:42,840 --> 00:44:46,879 Speaker 1: So I think we need to reassess. If there's any 768 00:44:46,960 --> 00:44:51,160 Speaker 1: doubt in anyone's mind about the Buffalo Bills, reassess right now. 769 00:44:51,280 --> 00:44:53,799 Speaker 1: We have one hell of a team and there's a 770 00:44:53,840 --> 00:44:56,759 Speaker 1: lot to be proud of. And finally, my old high 771 00:44:56,800 --> 00:45:00,239 Speaker 1: school football coach, George Flesh used to say, you can 772 00:45:00,280 --> 00:45:04,120 Speaker 1: tell more about a man when he loses than you 773 00:45:04,120 --> 00:45:07,720 Speaker 1: could tell about a man than when he finishes wood 774 00:45:07,480 --> 00:45:10,560 Speaker 1: and I can tell it a little lot about our team. 775 00:45:10,600 --> 00:45:13,360 Speaker 1: We got a great team. Thanks for taking my call, guys, 776 00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:16,160 Speaker 1: thanks thanks for the call. Yeah, I mean there's no question. 777 00:45:16,200 --> 00:45:19,960 Speaker 1: It was a gutsy performance by the entire team, just 778 00:45:20,120 --> 00:45:23,200 Speaker 1: to let you know. In addition to Josh Allen playing 779 00:45:23,239 --> 00:45:27,120 Speaker 1: every snap, two other guys on offense played all ninety 780 00:45:27,160 --> 00:45:29,920 Speaker 1: snaps on offense and a couple on special teams as well. 781 00:45:30,280 --> 00:45:36,280 Speaker 1: Deon Dawkins and Roger Saffold played all ninety two snaps 782 00:45:36,400 --> 00:45:41,600 Speaker 1: on offense in the game on Sunday. There were several 783 00:45:41,640 --> 00:45:44,320 Speaker 1: players on defense that played one hundred percent of the snaps, 784 00:45:44,360 --> 00:45:47,839 Speaker 1: but they they played half the number of snaps they 785 00:45:47,840 --> 00:45:51,840 Speaker 1: had played, like forty three total snaps on defense, Gabe 786 00:45:51,920 --> 00:45:54,759 Speaker 1: Davis played ninety six percent of the offensive snaps and 787 00:45:54,800 --> 00:45:56,840 Speaker 1: probably did a whole lot more running than Dion Dawkins, 788 00:45:56,960 --> 00:46:01,640 Speaker 1: Roger Staffold and Josh Allen, And we saw Stefan Diggs 789 00:46:01,680 --> 00:46:04,239 Speaker 1: was making his way around the national media outlets with 790 00:46:04,280 --> 00:46:08,080 Speaker 1: interviews today. He said on the Dan Lebotard Show today, 791 00:46:08,719 --> 00:46:13,440 Speaker 1: he has never experienced conditions like the one they had 792 00:46:13,480 --> 00:46:17,040 Speaker 1: on Sunday. He said it's the first time in any 793 00:46:17,080 --> 00:46:20,960 Speaker 1: game in his career that he had ivs in both 794 00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:25,600 Speaker 1: of his arms to rehydrate his body. He had full 795 00:46:26,239 --> 00:46:30,839 Speaker 1: body muscle cramps. Hey, everybody's experienced a cramp in your calf, 796 00:46:31,320 --> 00:46:35,279 Speaker 1: maybe a hamstring cramp where you're doing muscle cramps for 797 00:46:35,440 --> 00:46:40,879 Speaker 1: your foot, full body, that's a niche. Yeah, that hurts. Yeah. 798 00:46:40,920 --> 00:46:43,800 Speaker 1: It was an oppressive day, no question about it. Miami's 799 00:46:43,840 --> 00:46:46,399 Speaker 1: got a nice home field advantage there with the heat 800 00:46:46,440 --> 00:46:50,280 Speaker 1: on that sideline's significantly cooler on their side of the field, 801 00:46:51,040 --> 00:46:53,799 Speaker 1: and even they had some guys going down it was. 802 00:46:53,960 --> 00:46:57,200 Speaker 1: It was a rough day like I've never seen. I've 803 00:46:57,200 --> 00:46:59,000 Speaker 1: been you know, we've been down there a bunch, I've 804 00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:02,160 Speaker 1: done Super Bowl down there, I played down there in 805 00:47:02,239 --> 00:47:04,319 Speaker 1: that stadium. It's been around for a long time, but 806 00:47:04,360 --> 00:47:08,240 Speaker 1: when they put the the new they've refurbished it maybe 807 00:47:08,280 --> 00:47:10,759 Speaker 1: three or four times since it opened up as Joe 808 00:47:10,840 --> 00:47:15,600 Speaker 1: Robbie Stadium back in nineteen ninety something. They've refurbished it 809 00:47:15,640 --> 00:47:18,440 Speaker 1: a bunch. And this time they put the canopy on it, 810 00:47:18,560 --> 00:47:21,239 Speaker 1: except that, you know, in such a way that only 811 00:47:21,280 --> 00:47:24,160 Speaker 1: one side of the field is shaded. That changes everything. 812 00:47:24,239 --> 00:47:29,440 Speaker 1: Plus it was oppressively hot, oppressively hot, and they gained 813 00:47:29,440 --> 00:47:32,240 Speaker 1: a bigger advantage maybe than we've ever seen the Dolphins 814 00:47:32,320 --> 00:47:35,160 Speaker 1: get out of that. So yeah, the Bills, you know, 815 00:47:35,400 --> 00:47:37,520 Speaker 1: battled valiantly, but they just couldn't get it done in 816 00:47:37,520 --> 00:47:39,920 Speaker 1: those conditions. Plus with the injuries and the guy's fallen 817 00:47:39,920 --> 00:47:44,520 Speaker 1: out and you know everybody as well. It was your 818 00:47:44,560 --> 00:47:48,240 Speaker 1: defense that was hurt, not graving. Well, actually the Bill's 819 00:47:48,280 --> 00:47:53,320 Speaker 1: offensive line was a wreck in that game. Yeah, the 820 00:47:53,400 --> 00:47:55,360 Speaker 1: left tackle in the left guard in the game, and 821 00:47:55,360 --> 00:47:59,080 Speaker 1: the rest of it was the guys who were the 822 00:47:59,160 --> 00:48:01,719 Speaker 1: last guys little, the last guys available, and one of 823 00:48:01,760 --> 00:48:03,600 Speaker 1: them was playing with a torn acl at the end 824 00:48:03,600 --> 00:48:07,359 Speaker 1: of the game. So it was rough. It was really rough. 825 00:48:08,640 --> 00:48:12,160 Speaker 1: There's good game to watch. You lost a tight end 826 00:48:12,200 --> 00:48:15,719 Speaker 1: in Dawson Knox to heat related problems, and you lost 827 00:48:15,800 --> 00:48:19,040 Speaker 1: Jake Kumero to an ankle a high ankle spring. So 828 00:48:19,200 --> 00:48:22,359 Speaker 1: you were down to four receivers, one tight end, and 829 00:48:22,400 --> 00:48:25,200 Speaker 1: you had no offensive lineman left on your bench right 830 00:48:25,239 --> 00:48:26,640 Speaker 1: by the time you got to the end of the game. 831 00:48:26,680 --> 00:48:32,680 Speaker 1: The offense certainly suffered more casualties during the game than 832 00:48:32,760 --> 00:48:37,040 Speaker 1: the defense did. They basically lost Benford, that's right, and 833 00:48:37,120 --> 00:48:39,239 Speaker 1: that was it on the defensive side of the ball 834 00:48:40,120 --> 00:48:42,799 Speaker 1: to injury or heat related stress. We go back to 835 00:48:42,840 --> 00:48:45,680 Speaker 1: the phones, though, and to John and Philly. What do 836 00:48:45,680 --> 00:48:48,399 Speaker 1: you got first? John, you're on one Bill's Live. Hey, guys, 837 00:48:48,440 --> 00:48:51,000 Speaker 1: thanks for taking my call. Hey wanted to answer your 838 00:48:51,040 --> 00:48:53,839 Speaker 1: question first, And the first thing I'd say is I'd 839 00:48:53,840 --> 00:48:56,360 Speaker 1: like to get Jordan Phillips or at Oliver back at 840 00:48:56,440 --> 00:48:57,960 Speaker 1: least one of them. Two of them would be great, 841 00:48:58,040 --> 00:49:00,280 Speaker 1: but at least one of them on the defense inside 842 00:49:00,280 --> 00:49:02,600 Speaker 1: of the ball would help, especially with the rain coming 843 00:49:02,640 --> 00:49:05,160 Speaker 1: this weekend, probably going to be a running going on, 844 00:49:05,200 --> 00:49:07,120 Speaker 1: So I think they would be great to get one 845 00:49:07,160 --> 00:49:09,279 Speaker 1: of them back. But Hey, I wanted to tell you 846 00:49:09,280 --> 00:49:11,920 Speaker 1: guys about a win, and actually thank you guys about 847 00:49:11,920 --> 00:49:14,240 Speaker 1: a win that happened this weekend that you guys played 848 00:49:14,239 --> 00:49:16,520 Speaker 1: a part in, and you guys didn't know it. So 849 00:49:16,680 --> 00:49:20,280 Speaker 1: I'm just under forty years old. I'm thirty years old, 850 00:49:21,000 --> 00:49:23,800 Speaker 1: and I decided six months ago to run my first 851 00:49:23,920 --> 00:49:28,480 Speaker 1: half marathon this past weekend. And during the half marathon, 852 00:49:28,560 --> 00:49:30,880 Speaker 1: I listened to your off it was on Saturday. I 853 00:49:30,920 --> 00:49:34,080 Speaker 1: listened to your Friday segment because I purposely didn't listen 854 00:49:34,120 --> 00:49:35,719 Speaker 1: to you guys on Friday because I wanted you guys 855 00:49:35,760 --> 00:49:37,440 Speaker 1: to motivate me. And I listened to you guys. My 856 00:49:37,480 --> 00:49:40,440 Speaker 1: whole race did it in two hours and thirty seven minutes. 857 00:49:40,560 --> 00:49:42,680 Speaker 1: Nothing amazing there, but I got it finished, and you 858 00:49:42,719 --> 00:49:44,680 Speaker 1: guys were with me every step of the way. Literally. 859 00:49:44,920 --> 00:49:48,359 Speaker 1: Oh very nice. Glad we could help out. Had we known, 860 00:49:48,400 --> 00:49:50,360 Speaker 1: I don't know, I might have put a little subliminal 861 00:49:50,400 --> 00:49:52,680 Speaker 1: message in the show for you there, but I'm glad 862 00:49:52,680 --> 00:49:54,640 Speaker 1: it worked. Glad we got you over the finish line. 863 00:49:54,719 --> 00:49:57,480 Speaker 1: Nice job, hey, guys. Yeah, I appreciate it, and just 864 00:49:57,480 --> 00:50:00,279 Speaker 1: wanted to also give a thought for this week under 865 00:50:00,360 --> 00:50:02,839 Speaker 1: just the future. I think this game, this loss can 866 00:50:02,920 --> 00:50:05,440 Speaker 1: motivate us, similar to some of our losses in the 867 00:50:05,440 --> 00:50:08,040 Speaker 1: past couple of years, just to get back on it 868 00:50:08,080 --> 00:50:11,359 Speaker 1: and keep going forward and see us, you know, get 869 00:50:11,360 --> 00:50:13,840 Speaker 1: back ahead of the rest the AFC here starting with 870 00:50:13,880 --> 00:50:15,719 Speaker 1: a win this weekend. I'll be there. I'm driving down 871 00:50:15,719 --> 00:50:18,120 Speaker 1: from Philly. It's only about two hours away. We bought 872 00:50:18,120 --> 00:50:19,880 Speaker 1: tickets yesterday, my wife and I and we got him 873 00:50:19,960 --> 00:50:22,040 Speaker 1: underneath the awnings because there's quite a bit of awnings there's. 874 00:50:22,040 --> 00:50:23,759 Speaker 1: We made sure we got him because the hurricanes coming, 875 00:50:23,840 --> 00:50:26,279 Speaker 1: so you're going down bring lots of rain gearts that's 876 00:50:26,280 --> 00:50:28,239 Speaker 1: supposed to be coming. All right, man, Thanks John, I 877 00:50:28,280 --> 00:50:33,600 Speaker 1: appreciate the call. Two in a row there, Steve First. 878 00:50:33,600 --> 00:50:37,960 Speaker 1: Two callers player. They want back more any defensive lineman 879 00:50:37,960 --> 00:50:41,440 Speaker 1: that's healthy. Yeah, and for two very good reasons. Number One, 880 00:50:42,760 --> 00:50:44,560 Speaker 1: you're playing a team that's going to be running the ball. 881 00:50:44,560 --> 00:50:46,799 Speaker 1: And number two, with the weather that's forecast, they're probably 882 00:50:46,840 --> 00:50:48,640 Speaker 1: gonna run even more than they usually do, right, So 883 00:50:48,719 --> 00:50:50,839 Speaker 1: you better have some guys on the defensive interioror back. 884 00:50:51,000 --> 00:50:52,839 Speaker 1: That's right. And that's you know, it's Ed and Jordan 885 00:50:52,920 --> 00:50:56,160 Speaker 1: Phillips and they need him back. We'll see Jordan Phillips 886 00:50:56,280 --> 00:51:00,719 Speaker 1: probably further away than Ed is right, But neither one 887 00:51:01,000 --> 00:51:03,960 Speaker 1: is going to be out for an extended extended period 888 00:51:04,000 --> 00:51:06,920 Speaker 1: of time. At the most, probably Jordan Phillips about three 889 00:51:06,960 --> 00:51:10,279 Speaker 1: weeks maybe, so we'll see, depending on how severe his 890 00:51:10,360 --> 00:51:14,400 Speaker 1: hamstring was ed. You see. You know, he's kind of 891 00:51:14,400 --> 00:51:16,439 Speaker 1: a day to day thing, is what Sean says. I think, 892 00:51:16,520 --> 00:51:20,840 Speaker 1: so that's a little more optimistic for him. So yeah, 893 00:51:20,960 --> 00:51:22,920 Speaker 1: I agree with you that Ravens can run it, and 894 00:51:22,960 --> 00:51:25,160 Speaker 1: they run it really well. I've been watching them already 895 00:51:25,200 --> 00:51:27,200 Speaker 1: on tape. In their New England game. They do some 896 00:51:27,200 --> 00:51:30,839 Speaker 1: stuff that is just amazing. The ball handling and the 897 00:51:30,880 --> 00:51:35,080 Speaker 1: misdirection in their run game is really really difficult to follow, 898 00:51:35,120 --> 00:51:38,160 Speaker 1: and you've really got to stay disciplined upfront to defend it, 899 00:51:38,239 --> 00:51:41,440 Speaker 1: and because they spread you thin side to side in 900 00:51:41,480 --> 00:51:44,480 Speaker 1: their run game, and you've got to be able to 901 00:51:44,520 --> 00:51:47,960 Speaker 1: bear up and fight off a block and then still 902 00:51:48,040 --> 00:51:50,120 Speaker 1: be in position to make the make the tackle while 903 00:51:50,160 --> 00:51:54,919 Speaker 1: you're not getting distracted by the misdirection. It's really tough 904 00:51:54,960 --> 00:51:58,120 Speaker 1: to defend. For me as a guy watching it, never 905 00:51:58,160 --> 00:52:00,640 Speaker 1: having had to do it, it's really difficult to follow. 906 00:52:00,800 --> 00:52:03,360 Speaker 1: Sometimes the ball handling is smooth as Silk Lamar is 907 00:52:03,400 --> 00:52:06,239 Speaker 1: really good at it, and like you and I were talking. 908 00:52:06,440 --> 00:52:12,080 Speaker 1: They've got this fullback Ricard. Yeah, he's three oh five 909 00:52:12,840 --> 00:52:15,520 Speaker 1: six three three oh five and he had he had 910 00:52:15,520 --> 00:52:17,480 Speaker 1: a reception in the game last week. Well, he's a 911 00:52:17,560 --> 00:52:21,560 Speaker 1: very agile athlete, but he is a wrecker in the run. 912 00:52:21,600 --> 00:52:24,680 Speaker 1: He's a he's a train wrecker. Yeah, he's Yeah, he's 913 00:52:25,520 --> 00:52:30,080 Speaker 1: really nice for he's basically one and a half Reggie Gilliams. Yeah, yeah, 914 00:52:30,120 --> 00:52:33,600 Speaker 1: he's huge, he's gigantic. He'll you'll see him on Sunday. 915 00:52:33,640 --> 00:52:36,120 Speaker 1: He looks like alignman in the backfield. That's what he 916 00:52:36,160 --> 00:52:38,000 Speaker 1: looks like. Yeah, he looks like it looks like Kyle Williams. 917 00:52:38,120 --> 00:52:40,279 Speaker 1: It's like Kyle Williams in the backfield exactly. It's the 918 00:52:40,320 --> 00:52:42,040 Speaker 1: first thing I was thinking of. That's funny you said 919 00:52:42,080 --> 00:52:44,239 Speaker 1: that we have to take a break here. When we 920 00:52:44,280 --> 00:52:47,200 Speaker 1: come back, we are wide open in our number two 921 00:52:47,239 --> 00:52:49,919 Speaker 1: for your phone calls. So if you're on hold, stay 922 00:52:50,000 --> 00:52:52,120 Speaker 1: right where we are. We will get to you next. 923 00:52:52,160 --> 00:52:54,279 Speaker 1: Here on one Bill's Live presented by Kalia Health. It's 924 00:52:54,280 --> 00:53:43,719 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills Radio. These one Bills Live presented by called 925 00:53:43,800 --> 00:53:47,280 Speaker 1: light A Health our number two Here on a Tuesday, 926 00:53:47,400 --> 00:53:49,719 Speaker 1: Chris Brown, Steve tasker with you one Bills Lives the 927 00:53:49,760 --> 00:53:54,640 Speaker 1: show as we contemplate whether or not the Bills are 928 00:53:54,640 --> 00:53:57,920 Speaker 1: going to get healthy enough to put together a top 929 00:53:58,120 --> 00:54:01,279 Speaker 1: notch performance against the Baltimore Ravens, who are dealing with 930 00:54:01,320 --> 00:54:03,960 Speaker 1: some injuries of their own, not for nothing, not to 931 00:54:03,960 --> 00:54:06,839 Speaker 1: the extent that the Bills are, but they are beat 932 00:54:06,920 --> 00:54:09,520 Speaker 1: up in some key positions left tackle, most notably with 933 00:54:09,600 --> 00:54:13,480 Speaker 1: Ronnie Stanley still not ready last week to return from injury. 934 00:54:13,520 --> 00:54:15,960 Speaker 1: We'll see where it sits this week when the injury 935 00:54:16,000 --> 00:54:18,680 Speaker 1: reports come out on Wednesday. But in that vein, we 936 00:54:18,719 --> 00:54:22,480 Speaker 1: are asking you today which player do the Bills need 937 00:54:22,520 --> 00:54:26,480 Speaker 1: back in the lineup the most on Sunday against the Ravens. 938 00:54:26,520 --> 00:54:29,280 Speaker 1: First two callers out of the shoote have both said, 939 00:54:29,800 --> 00:54:34,320 Speaker 1: get us as many defensive tackles as we can. They believe, 940 00:54:34,360 --> 00:54:36,360 Speaker 1: and I would tend to agree with them that the 941 00:54:36,400 --> 00:54:39,080 Speaker 1: strength of this team is their defensive front. At least 942 00:54:39,120 --> 00:54:40,800 Speaker 1: that's what it showed through the first two weeks of 943 00:54:40,840 --> 00:54:45,160 Speaker 1: the season. Then injuries struck and things changed dramatically on 944 00:54:45,200 --> 00:54:48,440 Speaker 1: the defensive interior. Ed Oliver listed as day to day. 945 00:54:48,480 --> 00:54:50,279 Speaker 1: The hope is he is back and ready to play 946 00:54:50,280 --> 00:54:52,520 Speaker 1: on Sunday, but we'll have to see how he makes 947 00:54:52,520 --> 00:54:54,560 Speaker 1: his way through the week. Jordan Phillips might be a 948 00:54:54,560 --> 00:54:57,359 Speaker 1: little bit further away with that hamstring injury, but we'll 949 00:54:57,400 --> 00:55:00,520 Speaker 1: know for sure when the Wednesday injury report come out 950 00:55:00,560 --> 00:55:04,279 Speaker 1: what the status looks like for everybody on Buffalo's injury list, 951 00:55:04,320 --> 00:55:08,520 Speaker 1: which remains lengthy heading into week four. We go to 952 00:55:08,560 --> 00:55:10,960 Speaker 1: the phones, though at eight oh three five fifty one, 953 00:55:11,120 --> 00:55:13,759 Speaker 1: eight eight five fifty two, five fifty. There are a 954 00:55:13,800 --> 00:55:15,560 Speaker 1: couple open lines for you there if you want to 955 00:55:15,600 --> 00:55:18,480 Speaker 1: chime in yourself. But we lead off the second hour 956 00:55:18,800 --> 00:55:20,920 Speaker 1: with Judy and Buffalo. What do you have for us, 957 00:55:20,960 --> 00:55:24,600 Speaker 1: Judy or on one Bills Live, I have two questions 958 00:55:24,640 --> 00:55:27,800 Speaker 1: and two cameras. First of all, I thought the Bills 959 00:55:27,800 --> 00:55:30,240 Speaker 1: could go five and two in the first seven games. 960 00:55:30,760 --> 00:55:33,920 Speaker 1: Now I'll be happy with four and three. Next, well, 961 00:55:34,040 --> 00:55:40,520 Speaker 1: Isaiah Hodgins be activated for the game. Third, to win 962 00:55:40,600 --> 00:55:43,120 Speaker 1: the game, we must control Mark Andrews the way we 963 00:55:43,160 --> 00:55:47,759 Speaker 1: did in the playoff game. And Fourth, the Bills strategy 964 00:55:48,400 --> 00:55:53,600 Speaker 1: I think on a wet field must be with five receivers, 965 00:55:53,880 --> 00:55:58,600 Speaker 1: tight end and maybe runners out of bedfield catching the ball. 966 00:55:59,520 --> 00:56:03,040 Speaker 1: I wait, your chemists, all right? Judie, and thanks for 967 00:56:03,080 --> 00:56:06,960 Speaker 1: the call. And I will say this, I don't think 968 00:56:07,000 --> 00:56:10,400 Speaker 1: Isaiah Hodgins gets called up this week. The reason why 969 00:56:10,600 --> 00:56:15,560 Speaker 1: is Khalil Shakir has been inactive when they've decided to 970 00:56:15,600 --> 00:56:19,360 Speaker 1: go with just five receivers this season. Assuming Jake Kumerou 971 00:56:19,480 --> 00:56:21,120 Speaker 1: is down and he's got a week to week injury 972 00:56:21,160 --> 00:56:23,440 Speaker 1: with a high ankle sprain, I would expect Khalil Shakir 973 00:56:23,960 --> 00:56:28,160 Speaker 1: to be his replacement among the receiver rotation, so I 974 00:56:28,160 --> 00:56:30,479 Speaker 1: would expect him to be up, which to me, would 975 00:56:30,520 --> 00:56:34,520 Speaker 1: not prompt the need for a call up for Isaiah Hodgens. 976 00:56:35,280 --> 00:56:38,799 Speaker 1: I like your thoughts about the approach for Sunday's game. 977 00:56:38,880 --> 00:56:42,400 Speaker 1: I will remind everybody when the Baltimore Stadium first opened, 978 00:56:42,440 --> 00:56:46,880 Speaker 1: it was natural grass, but in two thousand and two, 979 00:56:46,960 --> 00:56:49,640 Speaker 1: it was a long time ago, they changed over to 980 00:56:49,640 --> 00:56:52,759 Speaker 1: turf and it's been turf there ever since because they 981 00:56:52,800 --> 00:56:54,920 Speaker 1: get a lot of wet weather there on the Eastern Seaboard, 982 00:56:54,960 --> 00:56:57,360 Speaker 1: and late in the season they were having major issues 983 00:56:57,400 --> 00:57:00,360 Speaker 1: with the field surface. So that's the good news because 984 00:57:00,560 --> 00:57:03,759 Speaker 1: the turiff drains a lot better than the grass does, 985 00:57:03,800 --> 00:57:06,440 Speaker 1: and you'd have a mud pit if you got even 986 00:57:06,480 --> 00:57:10,000 Speaker 1: a tropical depression blowing through there from Hurricane in by 987 00:57:10,040 --> 00:57:15,600 Speaker 1: the weekend. Steve, your assessment on her people that you 988 00:57:15,640 --> 00:57:20,320 Speaker 1: can't Yeah, well, first of all, stopping Mark Andrews. I 989 00:57:20,360 --> 00:57:22,560 Speaker 1: don't know at this point that that team is the 990 00:57:22,600 --> 00:57:25,400 Speaker 1: same as it was two years ago when they stopped 991 00:57:25,400 --> 00:57:27,800 Speaker 1: Mark Andrews in the playoffs. Certainly it was a big factor, 992 00:57:28,120 --> 00:57:29,920 Speaker 1: but Lamar is a different player than he was two 993 00:57:30,000 --> 00:57:34,280 Speaker 1: years ago. The players I'm more worried about on the 994 00:57:34,280 --> 00:57:39,400 Speaker 1: outside or DuVernay and Bateman. Bateman, They've got some guys 995 00:57:39,400 --> 00:57:41,280 Speaker 1: out there that I can play and they can run 996 00:57:41,320 --> 00:57:43,640 Speaker 1: to and they can run and their running game is 997 00:57:43,680 --> 00:57:46,120 Speaker 1: still a factor. But yeah, Mark Andrews is a good player. 998 00:57:46,600 --> 00:57:51,120 Speaker 1: But I'll say this, they I think against not Miami 999 00:57:51,200 --> 00:57:55,280 Speaker 1: but New England last week they suited up four tight ends. 1000 00:57:55,320 --> 00:57:59,240 Speaker 1: I think Isaiah Likely and Josh Oliver were all active 1001 00:57:59,240 --> 00:58:01,880 Speaker 1: with Mark and using Nick Boyle. I think Nick Boyle 1002 00:58:01,920 --> 00:58:05,600 Speaker 1: was active. Isaiah Likely is an intriguing player, Steve, and 1003 00:58:07,280 --> 00:58:11,240 Speaker 1: he is. Mark Andrews is just a big target. He 1004 00:58:11,320 --> 00:58:14,919 Speaker 1: runs well, but he's more of a build up speed guy, 1005 00:58:15,000 --> 00:58:17,920 Speaker 1: like a gronk. He doesn't run like Kelsey does you 1006 00:58:18,000 --> 00:58:23,600 Speaker 1: know what I mean? Isaiah Likely is. He's kind of 1007 00:58:23,640 --> 00:58:26,640 Speaker 1: an undersized tight end in terms of height, comes out 1008 00:58:26,640 --> 00:58:30,400 Speaker 1: of Coastal Carolina, very productive in the receiving game. He's 1009 00:58:30,480 --> 00:58:33,360 Speaker 1: kind of like a tight receiver. He's not Mike GISICKI. 1010 00:58:33,520 --> 00:58:37,040 Speaker 1: I think he can block better than that guy. But 1011 00:58:37,080 --> 00:58:41,120 Speaker 1: he runs routes really well and Lamar has established some 1012 00:58:41,200 --> 00:58:43,360 Speaker 1: good early chemistry with him. We forgot to ask Evan 1013 00:58:43,400 --> 00:58:46,920 Speaker 1: Washburn about Likely. So, Yeah, he's he's a He's a 1014 00:58:46,920 --> 00:58:50,200 Speaker 1: weapon for them, even though he hasn't been used extensively. Yeah. So, 1015 00:58:50,320 --> 00:58:52,960 Speaker 1: and then the other thing you mentioned about slot wide receiver, 1016 00:58:53,000 --> 00:58:55,840 Speaker 1: if it does get muddy or wet or whatever, are 1017 00:58:55,840 --> 00:58:58,080 Speaker 1: they getting used the slot guys, the tight ends and 1018 00:58:58,080 --> 00:59:00,200 Speaker 1: the running backs. Now, the running backs did be come 1019 00:59:00,200 --> 00:59:03,400 Speaker 1: a factor this last week as the wide receivers started 1020 00:59:03,440 --> 00:59:07,720 Speaker 1: to drop off the page because of the heat exhaustion. Yeah, 1021 00:59:07,760 --> 00:59:09,880 Speaker 1: which is unusual. And we all know that the Bills 1022 00:59:09,960 --> 00:59:13,800 Speaker 1: running backs don't usually catch that many passes, but um, 1023 00:59:14,200 --> 00:59:19,880 Speaker 1: certainly with the game that Um Devin Singletary had, that 1024 00:59:20,000 --> 00:59:25,200 Speaker 1: changed a lot. He had. Devin had eleven nine receptions 1025 00:59:25,200 --> 00:59:27,560 Speaker 1: for seventy eight yards and a touchdown. Those are both 1026 00:59:27,600 --> 00:59:30,280 Speaker 1: career high and he had eleven targets, so they you know, 1027 00:59:30,320 --> 00:59:32,000 Speaker 1: they gave him a lot of chances at that and 1028 00:59:32,040 --> 00:59:34,640 Speaker 1: the other one it was a safety valve for the blitz. 1029 00:59:34,840 --> 00:59:37,640 Speaker 1: James Cook had four catches. Yeah, I'd like to see 1030 00:59:37,640 --> 00:59:40,360 Speaker 1: a little more of him. Yeah, so that's a good 1031 00:59:40,360 --> 00:59:43,680 Speaker 1: call there, Judy on the guy the alternate receivers who 1032 00:59:43,760 --> 00:59:48,200 Speaker 1: may become a bigger part of it um under adverse conditions, 1033 00:59:48,480 --> 00:59:50,480 Speaker 1: and that includes the tight ends as well. So certainly 1034 00:59:50,520 --> 00:59:52,080 Speaker 1: we haven't seen as much as we thought we might 1035 00:59:52,120 --> 00:59:56,120 Speaker 1: have Dawson Knox, but that doesn't mean that they haven't 1036 00:59:56,120 --> 01:00:00,200 Speaker 1: been playing pretty good without targeting him. So we'll see. Yeah, 1037 01:00:00,240 --> 01:00:06,720 Speaker 1: we've had two calls already about defensive line. Can I 1038 01:00:06,800 --> 01:00:11,320 Speaker 1: just throw Mitch Morris's bone here? Really like to get 1039 01:00:11,320 --> 01:00:14,280 Speaker 1: the starting center back in there. In light of the 1040 01:00:14,280 --> 01:00:16,560 Speaker 1: bobbled snaps that they had last week, I realized they 1041 01:00:16,560 --> 01:00:18,480 Speaker 1: were few and far between, but they came at critical 1042 01:00:18,520 --> 01:00:22,240 Speaker 1: moments of the game, cost the team points. And nothing 1043 01:00:22,280 --> 01:00:27,840 Speaker 1: against Greg Van Roten or Greg Mans. I mean, both 1044 01:00:27,880 --> 01:00:31,200 Speaker 1: of those guys stepped in in difficult situation, did the 1045 01:00:31,240 --> 01:00:34,320 Speaker 1: best they could, and I thought they performed pretty admirably 1046 01:00:34,360 --> 01:00:40,240 Speaker 1: all things considered. But your center is a huge part 1047 01:00:40,280 --> 01:00:43,080 Speaker 1: of the whole deal there. I mean, yeah, yeah, the 1048 01:00:43,520 --> 01:00:46,680 Speaker 1: confidence they had in running the plays, getting the protections right, 1049 01:00:46,880 --> 01:00:50,880 Speaker 1: and getting every snap, there's no doubt. I mean, in hindsight, 1050 01:00:50,920 --> 01:00:53,200 Speaker 1: it's easy. Because we were all wondering why they kept 1051 01:00:53,200 --> 01:00:55,680 Speaker 1: going and shotgun in certain formation and certain down and 1052 01:00:55,760 --> 01:00:59,160 Speaker 1: distances short yardage, most notably in goal line. They'd never 1053 01:00:59,160 --> 01:01:02,760 Speaker 1: put Josh under center because they couldn't get it done. 1054 01:01:02,760 --> 01:01:05,040 Speaker 1: I mean, it's it looks easy because you see guys 1055 01:01:05,120 --> 01:01:06,960 Speaker 1: do it like the Bills, if they were under center 1056 01:01:07,000 --> 01:01:08,760 Speaker 1: the whole game. You see it ninety times a game, 1057 01:01:09,200 --> 01:01:11,040 Speaker 1: you see it fifty times a game. And back in 1058 01:01:11,120 --> 01:01:12,800 Speaker 1: the day, we all grew up watching guys do it 1059 01:01:12,840 --> 01:01:18,400 Speaker 1: all the time. But now with you understand how difficult 1060 01:01:18,400 --> 01:01:20,160 Speaker 1: it is to come in and get it done. We 1061 01:01:20,240 --> 01:01:23,000 Speaker 1: heard Eric would yesterday come on and say, listen, you 1062 01:01:23,040 --> 01:01:26,280 Speaker 1: got a guy three inches from your head, and what 1063 01:01:26,360 --> 01:01:29,160 Speaker 1: they do is and Kent Hall told me this, and 1064 01:01:29,160 --> 01:01:32,520 Speaker 1: I heard him tell young centers this. When you snap 1065 01:01:32,600 --> 01:01:35,040 Speaker 1: the ball, everything happens so fast. You're the only guy 1066 01:01:35,080 --> 01:01:36,840 Speaker 1: on the line's got one arm because the other one's 1067 01:01:36,880 --> 01:01:40,160 Speaker 1: back up between your legs. Given the ball to the quarterback, 1068 01:01:40,720 --> 01:01:43,360 Speaker 1: and then so the guy's jumping your shoulder while your 1069 01:01:43,440 --> 01:01:48,120 Speaker 1: arm's down. You know, it's hard. It's hard to execute 1070 01:01:48,120 --> 01:01:50,320 Speaker 1: a block like that. And when you start thinking about that, 1071 01:01:50,400 --> 01:01:52,080 Speaker 1: then you forget that. The first thing you gotta do 1072 01:01:52,120 --> 01:01:54,400 Speaker 1: is get the ball to the quarterback. All that stuff 1073 01:01:54,480 --> 01:01:58,439 Speaker 1: is and you got to do it lightning fast, which 1074 01:01:58,480 --> 01:02:01,680 Speaker 1: means you're doing it at high velocity with high intensity, 1075 01:02:01,800 --> 01:02:05,160 Speaker 1: and the ball snaps up into the quarterback's hands like 1076 01:02:05,200 --> 01:02:08,480 Speaker 1: it's coming out of a cannon. So all of that 1077 01:02:08,520 --> 01:02:13,000 Speaker 1: stuff is rife with risk. It's not so hard when 1078 01:02:13,040 --> 01:02:15,280 Speaker 1: you you just kind of half throw it back there, 1079 01:02:15,480 --> 01:02:17,760 Speaker 1: waist high to the quarterback in your arms, right, you know, 1080 01:02:17,840 --> 01:02:23,560 Speaker 1: halfway up already. So that's why Mitch morrise was missed 1081 01:02:24,320 --> 01:02:28,480 Speaker 1: in that game on Sunday, not only because of his 1082 01:02:28,520 --> 01:02:31,080 Speaker 1: ability to execute it, but the freedom it gave him 1083 01:02:31,120 --> 01:02:34,200 Speaker 1: to go under center at crucial moments. So you're right, 1084 01:02:34,400 --> 01:02:36,160 Speaker 1: and you can say, well, they're pros and listen, you 1085 01:02:36,160 --> 01:02:39,040 Speaker 1: can say that all you want to, but it's ninety 1086 01:02:39,120 --> 01:02:42,720 Speaker 1: thousand degrees on the field and these guys are hobbled together. 1087 01:02:43,280 --> 01:02:45,160 Speaker 1: You got to talk about protect. You gotta just a 1088 01:02:45,160 --> 01:02:49,560 Speaker 1: lot on their plate. Yeah, and you know you need 1089 01:02:50,120 --> 01:02:53,000 Speaker 1: makes a difference. It makes a difference, makes a difference. 1090 01:02:53,320 --> 01:02:55,280 Speaker 1: Let's get back to the phones and see what you 1091 01:02:55,400 --> 01:02:57,160 Speaker 1: have to say. Which player to the Bills need back 1092 01:02:57,160 --> 01:02:59,320 Speaker 1: in the lineup the most Sunday against the Ravens of 1093 01:02:59,360 --> 01:03:01,840 Speaker 1: the guys on the injury list, we go to Gary 1094 01:03:01,960 --> 01:03:04,840 Speaker 1: in Lancaster. Next we got first Gary hoop, hold on, 1095 01:03:04,920 --> 01:03:06,360 Speaker 1: let me get you out of here and there you 1096 01:03:06,400 --> 01:03:12,480 Speaker 1: go away and Oliver oly I would you said Morris, like, 1097 01:03:13,120 --> 01:03:14,760 Speaker 1: I agree with that now I hear about it. I 1098 01:03:15,200 --> 01:03:18,760 Speaker 1: can yeah, right, but and Oliver will will change the 1099 01:03:18,760 --> 01:03:22,920 Speaker 1: front line. One thing we can do is stop Lamar 1100 01:03:23,120 --> 01:03:25,320 Speaker 1: from doing what he does. Well, we can stop him, 1101 01:03:25,400 --> 01:03:29,400 Speaker 1: We'll still, yeah, and from moving he does, and then 1102 01:03:29,200 --> 01:03:31,280 Speaker 1: we have a chance to do what we do. Their 1103 01:03:31,360 --> 01:03:34,840 Speaker 1: defensive knocked out. So if we can limit them, and 1104 01:03:35,160 --> 01:03:38,760 Speaker 1: that's a big thing Lamar to like whatever I can 1105 01:03:38,800 --> 01:03:42,120 Speaker 1: do not forty R game, then we can do what 1106 01:03:42,160 --> 01:03:45,320 Speaker 1: we do and uh, Oliver just blow stuff up. And 1107 01:03:45,360 --> 01:03:48,680 Speaker 1: when he is next to all the people we have 1108 01:03:48,760 --> 01:03:55,160 Speaker 1: in our line, he can make a difference. Yeah, so 1109 01:03:55,360 --> 01:03:57,120 Speaker 1: I think I think Oliver is a big and you 1110 01:03:57,200 --> 01:03:59,880 Speaker 1: mentioned more Morris and said, and when you said that 1111 01:04:00,000 --> 01:04:02,040 Speaker 1: for them, my god, Yeah, we need a center because 1112 01:04:03,000 --> 01:04:07,720 Speaker 1: that's the rock of what Josh does. Ryan snaps and 1113 01:04:07,920 --> 01:04:10,160 Speaker 1: he goes, and when he snaps and goes in competent 1114 01:04:11,480 --> 01:04:14,680 Speaker 1: teams are in trouble. So but I'm sure they're taking 1115 01:04:15,880 --> 01:04:18,040 Speaker 1: you know what, every backup center in the world taking 1116 01:04:18,160 --> 01:04:22,800 Speaker 1: ten thousand snaps, So that'll be fine. But the last 1117 01:04:22,840 --> 01:04:28,160 Speaker 1: game was an ammosition. It was it was an impressible which, yeah, everything, 1118 01:04:28,400 --> 01:04:31,760 Speaker 1: every single thing that went wrong was what could go wrong, 1119 01:04:32,240 --> 01:04:38,640 Speaker 1: Ryan special teams. They missed interceptions, miss opportunities or fourth 1120 01:04:38,720 --> 01:04:42,320 Speaker 1: down and bloom field goals, and we still almost want it. 1121 01:04:42,600 --> 01:04:46,200 Speaker 1: So if we don't blow twenty different things, this team 1122 01:04:46,200 --> 01:04:49,280 Speaker 1: will battle you to the end and at Oliver will 1123 01:04:49,440 --> 01:04:53,200 Speaker 1: blow up my heart. That's to be all right, Gary, 1124 01:04:53,240 --> 01:04:55,800 Speaker 1: thanks for the call. We appreciate it. I mean, there 1125 01:04:55,920 --> 01:04:58,880 Speaker 1: is this to be said. Um, the Bills, as we know, 1126 01:04:59,120 --> 01:05:00,920 Speaker 1: when they're playing a guy like Lamar, are gonna have 1127 01:05:00,920 --> 01:05:03,040 Speaker 1: to be very disciplined in their rush lanes. You can't 1128 01:05:03,120 --> 01:05:05,240 Speaker 1: carry the pass rush arc too far up the field 1129 01:05:05,400 --> 01:05:08,240 Speaker 1: because Lamar just steps up underneath that and then escapes 1130 01:05:08,280 --> 01:05:10,439 Speaker 1: out to the right or the left, so they're gonna 1131 01:05:10,440 --> 01:05:15,440 Speaker 1: have to keep a tight pocket. But ed with his 1132 01:05:15,520 --> 01:05:18,680 Speaker 1: penetration ability could prevent Lamar from even stepping up if 1133 01:05:18,680 --> 01:05:20,840 Speaker 1: he can get the right kind of penetration directly up 1134 01:05:20,880 --> 01:05:23,320 Speaker 1: the middle. So we'll see how they work that with 1135 01:05:23,400 --> 01:05:26,040 Speaker 1: stunts and twists and whether they just do a straight 1136 01:05:26,080 --> 01:05:28,040 Speaker 1: four man rush and keep it tight in terms of 1137 01:05:28,080 --> 01:05:31,640 Speaker 1: the splits. But yeah, I mean, if you can get 1138 01:05:31,720 --> 01:05:34,120 Speaker 1: penetration up the middle, you just have to be careful 1139 01:05:34,120 --> 01:05:36,000 Speaker 1: that you're not leaving him a lane to loop around 1140 01:05:36,000 --> 01:05:37,760 Speaker 1: the outside and get away. I mean, it's a guy 1141 01:05:37,800 --> 01:05:40,720 Speaker 1: with four three speed, as the Dolphins found out in 1142 01:05:40,720 --> 01:05:43,680 Speaker 1: Week two when he rumbled for a seventy nine yard touchdown. 1143 01:05:43,920 --> 01:05:45,920 Speaker 1: Nobody was near him. I don't think anybody touched him. 1144 01:05:45,960 --> 01:05:49,640 Speaker 1: You gotta be ready to defend a guy that's as 1145 01:05:49,760 --> 01:05:52,720 Speaker 1: nifty and as elusive in the pocket as Josh Allen is. 1146 01:05:52,760 --> 01:05:54,280 Speaker 1: I mean, the guy can take off and run and 1147 01:05:54,280 --> 01:05:56,240 Speaker 1: beat you. That's what Josh does. That's why he's such 1148 01:05:56,240 --> 01:05:59,160 Speaker 1: a backbreaker for defense. As the Bills play, Lamar's the 1149 01:05:59,200 --> 01:06:02,480 Speaker 1: same kind of guy. You can make a comparisons all 1150 01:06:02,520 --> 01:06:06,680 Speaker 1: you want, um where Josh may be a better thrower 1151 01:06:06,800 --> 01:06:08,760 Speaker 1: or a passer from the pocket that Lamar is. But 1152 01:06:08,880 --> 01:06:11,120 Speaker 1: Lamar is better in the field running the football than 1153 01:06:11,240 --> 01:06:13,440 Speaker 1: Josh is as good as Josh is because he can 1154 01:06:13,520 --> 01:06:18,320 Speaker 1: take Yeah why And that's so. These two guys are 1155 01:06:18,400 --> 01:06:21,360 Speaker 1: both unicorns and they are a little different. They are 1156 01:06:21,360 --> 01:06:24,640 Speaker 1: each unique. But it's gonna be up to the others. 1157 01:06:25,680 --> 01:06:28,920 Speaker 1: Finger quotes, you know the von Miller's of the world, 1158 01:06:29,000 --> 01:06:33,120 Speaker 1: and to make a difference in this game, that the 1159 01:06:33,360 --> 01:06:37,400 Speaker 1: Ed Oliver's, the you know, Stefan Diggs, the Dawson Knoxes 1160 01:06:37,440 --> 01:06:39,040 Speaker 1: the world, that Gabe Davis is the world. And then 1161 01:06:39,160 --> 01:06:43,240 Speaker 1: for and and even for the Ravens. There guys, it's 1162 01:06:43,280 --> 01:06:46,840 Speaker 1: gotta be guys like like Ronnie Staley left tackle. Is 1163 01:06:46,880 --> 01:06:50,640 Speaker 1: he gonna play like Rashad Bateman and Devin Devin Duvernet. 1164 01:06:51,160 --> 01:06:53,200 Speaker 1: There's gonna be these other guys that it's who can 1165 01:06:53,240 --> 01:06:58,200 Speaker 1: help their quarterback win the most. Um. I still I 1166 01:06:58,240 --> 01:07:00,560 Speaker 1: like Ed Oliver. I like Jordan Phillips's answer to this, 1167 01:07:00,560 --> 01:07:02,640 Speaker 1: but Mitch Morse makes a lot of sense to me. Yeah, 1168 01:07:02,840 --> 01:07:05,160 Speaker 1: you'd love your offense to be hitting on all cylinders 1169 01:07:05,200 --> 01:07:07,640 Speaker 1: this week. Let's go to Mark and Lancaster next. What 1170 01:07:07,720 --> 01:07:10,880 Speaker 1: do you have first. Mark. Hey, guys, thanks for taking 1171 01:07:10,880 --> 01:07:13,720 Speaker 1: my call. Sure, Hey, Chris, you hit the nail right 1172 01:07:13,800 --> 01:07:16,040 Speaker 1: on the head. Without a doubt, it's miss Morris. We 1173 01:07:16,120 --> 01:07:19,720 Speaker 1: saw what happened with snaps under center, how they were 1174 01:07:19,760 --> 01:07:23,000 Speaker 1: bobbled and even out of the shotgun where or the 1175 01:07:23,000 --> 01:07:25,240 Speaker 1: snaps are kind of at his ankles. You know, we 1176 01:07:25,280 --> 01:07:27,720 Speaker 1: have a two hundred million dollars man back there, and 1177 01:07:27,920 --> 01:07:30,720 Speaker 1: every second counts, and if he's looking down, you know 1178 01:07:30,800 --> 01:07:33,400 Speaker 1: he's got to be able to feel comfortable with the snap, 1179 01:07:33,720 --> 01:07:36,920 Speaker 1: whether it's under center or in the shotgun. Also, if 1180 01:07:36,920 --> 01:07:38,920 Speaker 1: I'm not mistaken, he's the guy that's making all the 1181 01:07:38,960 --> 01:07:42,680 Speaker 1: line calls. Yep. If you look on plays that are 1182 01:07:42,760 --> 01:07:46,680 Speaker 1: outside sweeps or counters, who's usually leading away number sixty? 1183 01:07:46,920 --> 01:07:49,880 Speaker 1: You know he's very athletic, and if things are starting 1184 01:07:49,920 --> 01:07:52,560 Speaker 1: to head south, you got that comfort zone with a 1185 01:07:52,680 --> 01:07:56,200 Speaker 1: veteran that can keep keep the huddle under control, keep 1186 01:07:56,280 --> 01:07:59,240 Speaker 1: Josh in check. I think he's, without a doubt, is 1187 01:07:59,240 --> 01:08:02,240 Speaker 1: the key to our offense and making a tick and 1188 01:08:02,320 --> 01:08:05,640 Speaker 1: making things real comfortable. I appreciate you taking the call. Yeah, 1189 01:08:05,640 --> 01:08:08,840 Speaker 1: it sounds good. Mark, thanks for it. Yeah, I know 1190 01:08:09,000 --> 01:08:11,800 Speaker 1: that when Morris is in there, not to say that 1191 01:08:11,960 --> 01:08:17,760 Speaker 1: Van Roten and Man's can't make protection calls, but to me, 1192 01:08:18,479 --> 01:08:23,920 Speaker 1: the sense I get is that Josh leaves it in 1193 01:08:24,000 --> 01:08:27,960 Speaker 1: Mitch's hands because of that trust factor that he's established 1194 01:08:28,000 --> 01:08:30,479 Speaker 1: with him playing with him for the last three years. 1195 01:08:30,479 --> 01:08:36,760 Speaker 1: So I think there is less on Josh's plate when 1196 01:08:36,800 --> 01:08:38,960 Speaker 1: Mitch is in the game, if that makes sense right. 1197 01:08:39,240 --> 01:08:43,879 Speaker 1: And I'll say this, Sean made a point to praise 1198 01:08:44,120 --> 01:08:46,640 Speaker 1: the work Van Roten did and Man's did while they 1199 01:08:46,640 --> 01:08:48,840 Speaker 1: were in there, because you know, they were shorthanded and 1200 01:08:48,880 --> 01:08:50,840 Speaker 1: those guys stepped up, and yeah, they played well. Van 1201 01:08:50,920 --> 01:08:52,960 Speaker 1: Rotten went a long time after he looked like he 1202 01:08:53,000 --> 01:08:55,479 Speaker 1: was going to come out, like he bounced back, came 1203 01:08:55,520 --> 01:08:57,559 Speaker 1: back after a tough injury, then got it whacked again 1204 01:08:57,920 --> 01:09:00,400 Speaker 1: and had to stop finally. So he battled through some 1205 01:09:00,479 --> 01:09:03,559 Speaker 1: things on the way to getting last man in the game. 1206 01:09:04,240 --> 01:09:07,200 Speaker 1: And so Tommy Doyle the same thing. So there was 1207 01:09:07,240 --> 01:09:09,840 Speaker 1: a ton of guys that and not the least of 1208 01:09:09,840 --> 01:09:12,960 Speaker 1: which was Van Roten and Mance, who Sean McDermott really 1209 01:09:12,960 --> 01:09:15,599 Speaker 1: had some high praise for after that game. So yeah, 1210 01:09:15,600 --> 01:09:18,840 Speaker 1: it's it's appreciated, no question, But you know, you got 1211 01:09:18,920 --> 01:09:20,920 Speaker 1: of it starts where the ball is and that's that's 1212 01:09:20,960 --> 01:09:23,960 Speaker 1: Mitch Morse. Let's go to Bob and cheek dwagan X. 1213 01:09:24,040 --> 01:09:25,160 Speaker 1: What do you got for us? Bob, Y're all one 1214 01:09:25,160 --> 01:09:29,720 Speaker 1: Bill's life. Hi, guys, I'm I think Prayer will make 1215 01:09:29,840 --> 01:09:31,960 Speaker 1: such a big difference if we could get him back, 1216 01:09:32,560 --> 01:09:35,680 Speaker 1: just his leadership. And I don't know why, but I'm 1217 01:09:35,680 --> 01:09:38,240 Speaker 1: thinking that play where Wado got behind him. Guys, I 1218 01:09:38,320 --> 01:09:41,599 Speaker 1: know how fast he is. It says players always seems 1219 01:09:41,640 --> 01:09:44,120 Speaker 1: to be in a right spot. I think they missed 1220 01:09:44,160 --> 01:09:46,760 Speaker 1: his leadership back there in the huddle and everything, and 1221 01:09:47,200 --> 01:09:50,280 Speaker 1: I'm just excited if we could get player back, I 1222 01:09:50,360 --> 01:09:52,720 Speaker 1: feel a lot more comfortable. Yeah, No, that's a that's 1223 01:09:52,720 --> 01:09:55,000 Speaker 1: a worthy candidate for sure, Bob, And thanks for the 1224 01:09:55,040 --> 01:09:58,240 Speaker 1: call um. You know, with a tight end who is 1225 01:09:58,280 --> 01:10:00,680 Speaker 1: their number one target and Mark andrew it has been 1226 01:10:00,680 --> 01:10:03,840 Speaker 1: for the better part of the last year plus. Be 1227 01:10:03,960 --> 01:10:05,840 Speaker 1: nice to have Poyer out there, knowing he can draw 1228 01:10:05,920 --> 01:10:08,400 Speaker 1: some of those coverage assignments on Andrews. I mean, he's 1229 01:10:08,400 --> 01:10:11,599 Speaker 1: a big dude. You're probably gonna have mixing and matching 1230 01:10:11,680 --> 01:10:15,960 Speaker 1: with him and Milano and maybe some others. But yeah, 1231 01:10:16,000 --> 01:10:18,800 Speaker 1: you'd love to have Poyer out there with Johnson, you 1232 01:10:18,840 --> 01:10:20,639 Speaker 1: know you're not gonna have hide the rest of the year. 1233 01:10:21,439 --> 01:10:24,080 Speaker 1: I feel good about Jakuon Johnson out there as the 1234 01:10:24,120 --> 01:10:27,479 Speaker 1: second safety. If Jordan Poyer is your primary guy, I 1235 01:10:27,520 --> 01:10:30,960 Speaker 1: feel even better because now you can have Jaquon, who's 1236 01:10:30,960 --> 01:10:34,439 Speaker 1: a little bit smaller in stature than Jordan, kind of 1237 01:10:34,439 --> 01:10:38,200 Speaker 1: play center field look at the whole thing, you know, 1238 01:10:38,280 --> 01:10:41,000 Speaker 1: from back there, while Jordan is where you can have 1239 01:10:41,120 --> 01:10:43,400 Speaker 1: it up closer to the line of scrimmage. I think 1240 01:10:43,479 --> 01:10:47,400 Speaker 1: that's the best fit of the safeties they have left 1241 01:10:48,240 --> 01:10:52,280 Speaker 1: without Micahs. So yeah, you get him back and things 1242 01:10:52,360 --> 01:10:55,360 Speaker 1: dramatically improve on the back end as I see it. Yeah, 1243 01:10:55,360 --> 01:10:57,519 Speaker 1: as long as you can get lined up and have 1244 01:10:57,640 --> 01:11:00,840 Speaker 1: your assignments straight, you can you can depend on your 1245 01:11:00,880 --> 01:11:03,960 Speaker 1: athleticism to carry you through. And last week they you know, 1246 01:11:03,960 --> 01:11:06,360 Speaker 1: Tooa did a nice job looking left, left, left toward 1247 01:11:06,439 --> 01:11:09,479 Speaker 1: Tyreek and then coming back late and lofting it up 1248 01:11:09,479 --> 01:11:13,120 Speaker 1: to waddle and it made it too far to get 1249 01:11:13,120 --> 01:11:15,280 Speaker 1: back and help. And that's why you know, he was 1250 01:11:15,280 --> 01:11:16,960 Speaker 1: a tenth of a second late getting there, and the 1251 01:11:17,040 --> 01:11:19,280 Speaker 1: and the past was completely set up that touchdown for him. 1252 01:11:19,280 --> 01:11:21,840 Speaker 1: So or they go ahead touchdown. So you know that 1253 01:11:22,240 --> 01:11:25,960 Speaker 1: in and of itself was kind of what you you know, 1254 01:11:27,280 --> 01:11:30,559 Speaker 1: lends credence to you need to go. You gotta get 1255 01:11:30,640 --> 01:11:33,439 Speaker 1: him lined up right, Yeah, and that's what power does. 1256 01:11:33,479 --> 01:11:37,280 Speaker 1: So well, let's uh go to the phones again and 1257 01:11:37,360 --> 01:11:39,800 Speaker 1: we go to rich and Amhurst. Next. What do you 1258 01:11:39,800 --> 01:11:42,880 Speaker 1: got for us? Richard on one Bill's life. Hey, last 1259 01:11:42,880 --> 01:11:44,240 Speaker 1: couple of guys hit it on the head. I was 1260 01:11:44,240 --> 01:11:47,160 Speaker 1: gonna say, Morse as well for your question in the day, 1261 01:11:47,240 --> 01:11:50,840 Speaker 1: I mean, this team can run anybody and attrack meet. 1262 01:11:50,880 --> 01:11:53,439 Speaker 1: I think if if the offenses in rhythm, and I 1263 01:11:53,479 --> 01:11:57,000 Speaker 1: think you know, the defensive injuries, yeah, they hurt, but 1264 01:11:57,680 --> 01:11:59,719 Speaker 1: if you got to the off of clicking, I'm not worried. 1265 01:12:00,040 --> 01:12:01,720 Speaker 1: If the other team's hanging twenty eight, I think we 1266 01:12:01,720 --> 01:12:03,920 Speaker 1: can still put up thirty five when everything's in order. 1267 01:12:03,960 --> 01:12:06,479 Speaker 1: So I think Morris is the most critical of them all. 1268 01:12:07,080 --> 01:12:09,920 Speaker 1: And I wanted to talk about something you guys talked 1269 01:12:09,920 --> 01:12:14,080 Speaker 1: about a little bit yesterday. But the league rule where 1270 01:12:14,120 --> 01:12:17,320 Speaker 1: the Dolphins, if they don't use their air conditioning, heated 1271 01:12:17,479 --> 01:12:20,880 Speaker 1: or cooled benches, whatever, we can't. I think that is 1272 01:12:20,880 --> 01:12:24,920 Speaker 1: the most ridiculous thing in today's day and age, I 1273 01:12:25,040 --> 01:12:28,560 Speaker 1: understand the fairness aspect. If you're talking about the quarterbacks 1274 01:12:28,600 --> 01:12:31,000 Speaker 1: helmets of the sidelines not working, then the other team 1275 01:12:31,040 --> 01:12:34,040 Speaker 1: can't use it, or the headset's not working, or the tablets. 1276 01:12:34,080 --> 01:12:36,240 Speaker 1: That's all fine. I get that that's a fairness thing. 1277 01:12:36,240 --> 01:12:39,040 Speaker 1: But when we're talking about heat or even cold in 1278 01:12:39,040 --> 01:12:41,559 Speaker 1: the winter, if it was reversed in Buffalo, I mean, 1279 01:12:41,600 --> 01:12:43,759 Speaker 1: do you want me You know some of your college 1280 01:12:43,840 --> 01:12:46,320 Speaker 1: may not remember, but you don't want another Corey stringer 1281 01:12:46,360 --> 01:12:48,680 Speaker 1: on your hands in a game day situation because they 1282 01:12:48,720 --> 01:12:51,679 Speaker 1: have heat stroke. Like, that's just ridiculous to me that 1283 01:12:51,680 --> 01:12:54,400 Speaker 1: that's even a rule in place. I'll hang up and 1284 01:12:54,439 --> 01:12:58,080 Speaker 1: listen to you. Yeah, I'm not sure about the specific 1285 01:12:58,120 --> 01:13:01,719 Speaker 1: rule because I think too I've seen it where teams 1286 01:13:01,720 --> 01:13:05,360 Speaker 1: can request it and it'd be given to them. But 1287 01:13:05,439 --> 01:13:07,840 Speaker 1: I'm not sure that that's the case. Like if you're 1288 01:13:07,840 --> 01:13:09,439 Speaker 1: coming in and they're not going to use it, but 1289 01:13:09,560 --> 01:13:12,439 Speaker 1: you want it, you can kind of you can request it. 1290 01:13:12,479 --> 01:13:13,720 Speaker 1: I'm not sure if that's the case. And there's a 1291 01:13:13,760 --> 01:13:15,320 Speaker 1: couple of things I wanted to check about in this 1292 01:13:15,360 --> 01:13:18,559 Speaker 1: game because a couple of things came up, like yeah, 1293 01:13:18,680 --> 01:13:22,719 Speaker 1: like like fumbling the ball out of bounds deliberately inside 1294 01:13:22,760 --> 01:13:25,160 Speaker 1: the two minute warning. How that works with the clock 1295 01:13:25,200 --> 01:13:29,360 Speaker 1: stoppage and whether it helps your team at the end 1296 01:13:29,400 --> 01:13:32,000 Speaker 1: of the game. Don't know if it's possible or legal, 1297 01:13:32,120 --> 01:13:34,120 Speaker 1: or if it helps you or not. But I know 1298 01:13:34,160 --> 01:13:36,519 Speaker 1: it's been done in decades past, but I think the 1299 01:13:36,600 --> 01:13:38,479 Speaker 1: rule has been evolved since then. So there's a lot 1300 01:13:38,520 --> 01:13:39,760 Speaker 1: of things I want to get to the bottom up, 1301 01:13:39,800 --> 01:13:42,080 Speaker 1: but I think that you're never going to be able 1302 01:13:42,120 --> 01:13:47,840 Speaker 1: to make it. Yeah, that sideline thing is a big 1303 01:13:47,880 --> 01:13:50,760 Speaker 1: difference in Miami, and I think that's the most pronounced 1304 01:13:51,000 --> 01:13:57,320 Speaker 1: difference I've seen in any game in my experience of 1305 01:13:57,560 --> 01:14:01,000 Speaker 1: one side being in the shade, like there's the one 1306 01:14:01,040 --> 01:14:03,760 Speaker 1: side being in the heat and having it affect the 1307 01:14:03,800 --> 01:14:05,840 Speaker 1: game as much as it did, and the rosters and 1308 01:14:05,840 --> 01:14:09,640 Speaker 1: the players never seen anything like that. You know, you 1309 01:14:09,640 --> 01:14:11,519 Speaker 1: can say they should change the ruin all that, but 1310 01:14:11,600 --> 01:14:14,040 Speaker 1: it's it doesn't happen that often. Of course, in this case, 1311 01:14:14,080 --> 01:14:16,439 Speaker 1: the Bills were the victim of it, as you might 1312 01:14:16,479 --> 01:14:20,800 Speaker 1: expect a division opponent would be more likely. But I've 1313 01:14:20,840 --> 01:14:25,640 Speaker 1: never seen a game have that much disparity in the 1314 01:14:25,720 --> 01:14:29,320 Speaker 1: conditions on the sideline. Yeah, and it was even bad 1315 01:14:29,520 --> 01:14:31,559 Speaker 1: like I said earlier a couple of Dolphin guys fell 1316 01:14:31,600 --> 01:14:34,280 Speaker 1: out as well and they were in the shade. But 1317 01:14:34,360 --> 01:14:36,840 Speaker 1: the Bills, I mean, it was like every single guy 1318 01:14:37,840 --> 01:14:41,840 Speaker 1: was suffering from it. We have to take a break here, 1319 01:14:42,200 --> 01:14:44,400 Speaker 1: but more of your phone calls on the way next eight, 1320 01:14:44,640 --> 01:14:48,639 Speaker 1: three fifty, two, five fifty the number to get on board. 1321 01:14:49,520 --> 01:14:52,960 Speaker 1: Which Bills player on the injury list do you think 1322 01:14:53,080 --> 01:14:55,519 Speaker 1: is most important to have back in the lineup on 1323 01:14:55,640 --> 01:14:58,880 Speaker 1: Sunday against the Ravens. You let us know when we 1324 01:14:58,880 --> 01:15:01,360 Speaker 1: return here on one Bills Live presented by Kalada Health, 1325 01:15:01,360 --> 01:15:15,639 Speaker 1: It's Buffalo Bills Radio.

We are talking with you 1338 01:15:54,040 --> 01:15:58,479 Speaker 1: about the Bill's injury list and come Sunday against the Ravens, 1339 01:15:59,120 --> 01:16:02,360 Speaker 1: which player on that injury list do you think is 1340 01:16:02,479 --> 01:16:04,920 Speaker 1: most important to have back in the lineup for this 1341 01:16:05,000 --> 01:16:08,439 Speaker 1: matchup with Baltimore. We go back to the phones and 1342 01:16:08,640 --> 01:16:11,599 Speaker 1: leading us off in this segment is Marie and am Hurst. 1343 01:16:11,600 --> 01:16:15,680 Speaker 1: What do you have for us? Marie, Hey, guys, so 1344 01:16:16,360 --> 01:16:19,639 Speaker 1: I'll figure we're three games in. There's no need to panic. 1345 01:16:20,040 --> 01:16:22,840 Speaker 1: We don't need to bring anyone back right now from injury. 1346 01:16:22,920 --> 01:16:26,400 Speaker 1: Just let the guys rest up, move a few pieces around, 1347 01:16:26,960 --> 01:16:30,479 Speaker 1: bring back a familiar player with the system. I'm figuring 1348 01:16:30,840 --> 01:16:35,799 Speaker 1: we can move Tavin Austin up, let Gay Davis get arrest, 1349 01:16:36,760 --> 01:16:39,760 Speaker 1: move Tay line up, let him beyond special team. I 1350 01:16:39,760 --> 01:16:44,160 Speaker 1: mean to return pumps or kickoff, move syren Neil up 1351 01:16:44,200 --> 01:16:48,040 Speaker 1: to cornerback, because we do need some experience back there. 1352 01:16:48,240 --> 01:16:50,799 Speaker 1: We don't have much money to be going out getting 1353 01:16:50,840 --> 01:16:53,680 Speaker 1: other people bringing them in, and then we need to 1354 01:16:53,720 --> 01:16:57,519 Speaker 1: bring back a familiar, someone familiar with the system, like 1355 01:16:58,160 --> 01:17:02,439 Speaker 1: Elijah Griffin for special teams, just just special teams, not 1356 01:17:03,040 --> 01:17:06,839 Speaker 1: to go out there and be cover into corner special teams. 1357 01:17:06,880 --> 01:17:10,120 Speaker 1: You know, I think he's really good, he's familiar, he's solid, 1358 01:17:10,240 --> 01:17:13,320 Speaker 1: he's a good tackler. He's got to be any cheap 1359 01:17:14,120 --> 01:17:17,200 Speaker 1: like not to say cheap, but you know, that's something 1360 01:17:17,200 --> 01:17:20,000 Speaker 1: we can do. We don't need to let's not rush anything. 1361 01:17:20,040 --> 01:17:22,880 Speaker 1: It's Baltimore. We need to put up points. You just 1362 01:17:22,960 --> 01:17:24,960 Speaker 1: need to keep scoring and get our offense back in 1363 01:17:25,000 --> 01:17:28,519 Speaker 1: the group. So that's all I want to just say. Yeah, 1364 01:17:28,520 --> 01:17:31,439 Speaker 1: and Maria's it's a solid point. I don't know about 1365 01:17:31,439 --> 01:17:33,360 Speaker 1: the names you mentioned or the moves, but to make 1366 01:17:33,360 --> 01:17:35,200 Speaker 1: they're gonna make do with what they've got anyway, And 1367 01:17:35,200 --> 01:17:39,880 Speaker 1: you're right, it's up to the you know, to Jim 1368 01:17:39,479 --> 01:17:43,360 Speaker 1: and head coach to move the roster around if there's 1369 01:17:43,400 --> 01:17:45,360 Speaker 1: if they do need to bring in help from the outside, 1370 01:17:45,400 --> 01:17:47,439 Speaker 1: and I don't even think that they do. I don't 1371 01:17:47,439 --> 01:17:48,600 Speaker 1: think they need to go out on the street and 1372 01:17:48,600 --> 01:17:52,080 Speaker 1: bring guys back that they've released or whatever. Certainly they 1373 01:17:52,160 --> 01:17:55,960 Speaker 1: brought in roads this today as a veteran corner. So 1374 01:17:56,000 --> 01:17:59,240 Speaker 1: maybe they're getting some feedback as they're gonna need. Even 1375 01:17:59,320 --> 01:18:02,880 Speaker 1: if they do advance Sirran Neil to corner and all that, 1376 01:18:02,960 --> 01:18:05,840 Speaker 1: they still need somebody at that position to come in 1377 01:18:05,880 --> 01:18:07,559 Speaker 1: and be a lock of numbers. They need to back 1378 01:18:07,640 --> 01:18:11,680 Speaker 1: up for Saran. So you're right, they're gonna make do 1379 01:18:11,800 --> 01:18:13,800 Speaker 1: with what they've got because they trust those guys. And 1380 01:18:13,840 --> 01:18:15,719 Speaker 1: it's not that easy to come in and just you can't. 1381 01:18:15,920 --> 01:18:18,400 Speaker 1: It's not hockey or something like that. You can't plug 1382 01:18:18,439 --> 01:18:23,320 Speaker 1: a guy in. There's an entirely new language that the 1383 01:18:23,320 --> 01:18:25,160 Speaker 1: guy has to learn, the verbiage and all of that, 1384 01:18:25,240 --> 01:18:28,240 Speaker 1: the concepts that you're running on offense or defense. So 1385 01:18:28,439 --> 01:18:31,599 Speaker 1: it's not that easy. Special teams you can do that with. 1386 01:18:31,680 --> 01:18:33,080 Speaker 1: You can plug a guy in, he can go down 1387 01:18:33,080 --> 01:18:35,800 Speaker 1: and do his job and help out, but not on 1388 01:18:35,840 --> 01:18:38,160 Speaker 1: offense or defense. So you're right, and they and I 1389 01:18:38,200 --> 01:18:40,400 Speaker 1: think that's exactly what they are doing. They're gonna make 1390 01:18:40,439 --> 01:18:42,000 Speaker 1: do with the guys that are in the building first 1391 01:18:42,000 --> 01:18:45,240 Speaker 1: and foremost right, and whatever needs to be shuffled around, 1392 01:18:45,240 --> 01:18:47,559 Speaker 1: they will. And just so you know, Gabe Davis got 1393 01:18:47,600 --> 01:18:51,000 Speaker 1: through the game no worse for where this past Sunday, 1394 01:18:51,080 --> 01:18:53,800 Speaker 1: so he's not really an injury issue. I know he's 1395 01:18:54,040 --> 01:18:56,040 Speaker 1: had been dealing with an ankle injury, but he played 1396 01:18:56,040 --> 01:18:59,000 Speaker 1: eighty eight snaps last week and is no worse for 1397 01:18:59,080 --> 01:19:01,840 Speaker 1: where as we understand and it, so he should be 1398 01:19:01,840 --> 01:19:04,880 Speaker 1: good to go going forward. And then as far as 1399 01:19:04,880 --> 01:19:07,639 Speaker 1: your suggestion of Elijah Griffin, he is with the Giants 1400 01:19:07,720 --> 01:19:10,960 Speaker 1: right now. He was claimed by the Giants after he 1401 01:19:11,080 --> 01:19:15,439 Speaker 1: was cut here in final cuts, so he's not even 1402 01:19:15,439 --> 01:19:18,920 Speaker 1: available as an option though I agree with you he 1403 01:19:18,920 --> 01:19:21,759 Speaker 1: would be cheap, but he's not available to be had. 1404 01:19:23,160 --> 01:19:25,720 Speaker 1: So yeah, they're going to just dig deeper into their 1405 01:19:25,800 --> 01:19:29,000 Speaker 1: roster and where they don't have numbers even on their 1406 01:19:29,000 --> 01:19:31,400 Speaker 1: practice squad, they're probably gonna look to add somebody, which 1407 01:19:31,439 --> 01:19:34,120 Speaker 1: is why Xavier Rhodes was here today on a free 1408 01:19:34,120 --> 01:19:37,080 Speaker 1: agent visit. Whether they sign him is another question, And 1409 01:19:37,120 --> 01:19:40,920 Speaker 1: they may have to sign a lineman to Steve because yes, 1410 01:19:41,000 --> 01:19:45,040 Speaker 1: you got Bobby hartback this week, but you're losing Tommy 1411 01:19:45,120 --> 01:19:47,599 Speaker 1: Doyle for the season. Yeah, so he's got to be replaced. 1412 01:19:47,720 --> 01:19:49,479 Speaker 1: Nothing that says Van Roten's going to be ready to 1413 01:19:49,479 --> 01:19:51,719 Speaker 1: go or any of these others. Yeah, so Mitch Morse 1414 01:19:51,800 --> 01:19:53,640 Speaker 1: for that matter. Right, So you're going to have to 1415 01:19:53,680 --> 01:19:57,400 Speaker 1: add to the offensive line ranks, presumably here in the 1416 01:19:57,439 --> 01:20:00,679 Speaker 1: next day or so, so we'll have to see that. 1417 01:20:00,880 --> 01:20:04,559 Speaker 1: Goes back to the phones and we go to Will 1418 01:20:04,800 --> 01:20:06,599 Speaker 1: in Baltimore. What do you got for us? Will, You're 1419 01:20:06,640 --> 01:20:09,320 Speaker 1: on one Bill's Live. Hey, thanks for taking my call. 1420 01:20:09,439 --> 01:20:11,559 Speaker 1: I think that, Um, I think Mitch Morris is the 1421 01:20:12,240 --> 01:20:14,439 Speaker 1: probably the second most important guy on the offense, So 1422 01:20:14,680 --> 01:20:17,040 Speaker 1: I think we really need him back. You can tell 1423 01:20:17,080 --> 01:20:19,599 Speaker 1: when he's not in the game. It's like a trickler 1424 01:20:19,600 --> 01:20:23,040 Speaker 1: down effect. Um, he's He's just so important to you 1425 01:20:23,080 --> 01:20:25,200 Speaker 1: our running game. We get out, we get to the 1426 01:20:25,360 --> 01:20:27,720 Speaker 1: to the own, we get out of the huddle at 1427 01:20:27,760 --> 01:20:30,120 Speaker 1: fifteen seconds when Morris is in the game, But when 1428 01:20:30,160 --> 01:20:32,519 Speaker 1: he's not, we get to the line with five seconds 1429 01:20:32,520 --> 01:20:34,479 Speaker 1: in the in the two worst place that happened, not 1430 01:20:34,560 --> 01:20:36,240 Speaker 1: the two worst place, but one of the What was 1431 01:20:36,240 --> 01:20:38,479 Speaker 1: it that the script sacked? That was when the time 1432 01:20:38,520 --> 01:20:42,519 Speaker 1: was running down? And then another own another play with 1433 01:20:42,640 --> 01:20:44,439 Speaker 1: the rook when he couldn't get in when he couldn't 1434 01:20:44,439 --> 01:20:46,519 Speaker 1: he couldn't get the block. So it was like when 1435 01:20:46,600 --> 01:20:50,840 Speaker 1: he when he's in the game, everything and flows better. Everything. Yeah, 1436 01:20:50,360 --> 01:20:54,000 Speaker 1: it was interesting Will that I noticed last week they 1437 01:20:54,000 --> 01:20:56,240 Speaker 1: were breaking the huddle a lot later last week. Two 1438 01:20:56,840 --> 01:21:00,479 Speaker 1: first two weeks, offense was breaking the huddle around twenty 1439 01:21:00,479 --> 01:21:03,920 Speaker 1: one twenty two seconds left on the play clock. Last 1440 01:21:03,920 --> 01:21:08,240 Speaker 1: week it was more like fifteen, fourteen seconds, sometimes twelve 1441 01:21:08,320 --> 01:21:11,760 Speaker 1: or eleven. Now, to me, there's a part of me 1442 01:21:11,800 --> 01:21:15,599 Speaker 1: that wonders, was that on purpose to give guys as 1443 01:21:15,680 --> 01:21:19,479 Speaker 1: much rest as possible in the huddle in between plays 1444 01:21:19,880 --> 01:21:22,120 Speaker 1: before getting up to the line of scrimmage, knowing how 1445 01:21:22,160 --> 01:21:25,200 Speaker 1: taxing the weather conditions were, might have been a part 1446 01:21:25,240 --> 01:21:28,599 Speaker 1: of it. I'll try to remember to ask coach about 1447 01:21:28,640 --> 01:21:31,360 Speaker 1: that when I get a chance. Yeah, And if you're 1448 01:21:31,400 --> 01:21:33,680 Speaker 1: talking about offense, I mean they've got Alec Anderson, the 1449 01:21:33,760 --> 01:21:36,559 Speaker 1: rookie out of UCLAs on the practice squad. You could 1450 01:21:36,560 --> 01:21:38,479 Speaker 1: bring him up as an offensive line. You're talking about 1451 01:21:38,520 --> 01:21:42,280 Speaker 1: replacing these guys and having the offensive line takeoff like that, 1452 01:21:42,360 --> 01:21:45,800 Speaker 1: And we don't know yet. It's too early in the week. 1453 01:21:46,640 --> 01:21:49,360 Speaker 1: We're going to get an injury report tomorrow, So all 1454 01:21:49,360 --> 01:21:53,360 Speaker 1: these machinations that we're talking about happening, we don't even 1455 01:21:53,400 --> 01:21:57,320 Speaker 1: know if they need to yet. Well, yeah, you're down, Doyle. Doyle, 1456 01:21:57,439 --> 01:21:59,439 Speaker 1: is that guy's got to be replaced? And I would 1457 01:21:59,479 --> 01:22:01,880 Speaker 1: imagine and you're down like a hide, it's gonna be 1458 01:22:01,960 --> 01:22:09,280 Speaker 1: Alec Anderson or Ryan van Demark to be elevated. And 1459 01:22:09,360 --> 01:22:11,639 Speaker 1: now theoretically neither one of them is going to see 1460 01:22:11,640 --> 01:22:13,920 Speaker 1: the field because they're base is going to be healthy 1461 01:22:13,920 --> 01:22:16,559 Speaker 1: and they'll be It'll be Spencer Brown back on the 1462 01:22:16,560 --> 01:22:22,120 Speaker 1: field with Kessonbury backing him up. But we don't know, Yeah, 1463 01:22:22,320 --> 01:22:24,479 Speaker 1: we don't know. Let's go back to the phones at 1464 01:22:24,479 --> 01:22:26,720 Speaker 1: eight O three five fifty open line for you. There, 1465 01:22:26,760 --> 01:22:28,360 Speaker 1: we go to Jack and Buffalo next. What do you 1466 01:22:28,360 --> 01:22:32,240 Speaker 1: got for us? Jack? Yes? Hi, Um. I agree with 1467 01:22:32,840 --> 01:22:36,280 Speaker 1: the last caller that Mitch Morris is a is an 1468 01:22:36,280 --> 01:22:39,559 Speaker 1: important part of the most important player to get back 1469 01:22:39,560 --> 01:22:42,120 Speaker 1: in the lineup. But I do have a question about 1470 01:22:42,560 --> 01:22:46,080 Speaker 1: why didn't the Bills try Read Ferguson. They're long snapper, 1471 01:22:46,800 --> 01:22:49,800 Speaker 1: um to you know it's at the center position during 1472 01:22:49,840 --> 01:22:53,240 Speaker 1: that game, Steve, I'll let you take that one. I'll 1473 01:22:53,240 --> 01:22:57,960 Speaker 1: tell you why, um Read Ferguson isn't physically up to it. 1474 01:22:58,320 --> 01:23:00,760 Speaker 1: I love Read. He's a good dude, and I'm not 1475 01:23:00,840 --> 01:23:03,559 Speaker 1: saying I'm not insulting him in any way, shape or form. 1476 01:23:04,320 --> 01:23:08,320 Speaker 1: I'm just telling you read Ferguson two sixty is No, 1477 01:23:09,000 --> 01:23:12,559 Speaker 1: he's not even near to He's nowhere near to sixty. Read. 1478 01:23:12,880 --> 01:23:14,720 Speaker 1: I'm looking I'm looking this up now and I'm having 1479 01:23:14,760 --> 01:23:20,240 Speaker 1: trouble doing it. Let's see, here we go. Read Ferguson 1480 01:23:20,680 --> 01:23:24,880 Speaker 1: is six two two thirty five. There's your answer. Not 1481 01:23:24,960 --> 01:23:27,760 Speaker 1: an option, He's not an option. They would take Read 1482 01:23:27,800 --> 01:23:30,360 Speaker 1: Ferguson by both ends of his body and use him 1483 01:23:30,400 --> 01:23:32,800 Speaker 1: like a tent speG tent peg, and they would hammer 1484 01:23:32,880 --> 01:23:35,560 Speaker 1: him into the ground. He wouldn't laugh. I mean, I 1485 01:23:36,080 --> 01:23:38,920 Speaker 1: love Read, but he's a he's a long snapper, and 1486 01:23:39,080 --> 01:23:42,720 Speaker 1: that's different than being a center. Different skill set and 1487 01:23:42,760 --> 01:23:45,240 Speaker 1: a different job requirement. You can't line You don't line 1488 01:23:45,280 --> 01:23:48,519 Speaker 1: anybody up over the long snapper. It's illegal. You line 1489 01:23:48,560 --> 01:23:51,040 Speaker 1: somebody up over the center all the time, and it's 1490 01:23:51,080 --> 01:23:57,000 Speaker 1: a big, mean, nasty dude. Read Ferguson six two two 1491 01:23:57,120 --> 01:24:00,479 Speaker 1: thirty five. That there you go. I mean, that's your answer. 1492 01:24:00,560 --> 01:24:02,840 Speaker 1: Here's your answer. Read is not a center. He's a 1493 01:24:02,880 --> 01:24:07,280 Speaker 1: long snapper. It's not the same correct reads, not even 1494 01:24:07,320 --> 01:24:11,600 Speaker 1: an offensive lineman. So there you go. Let's take a 1495 01:24:11,640 --> 01:24:13,360 Speaker 1: look at some of the comments on the tweet sheet 1496 01:24:13,400 --> 01:24:16,040 Speaker 1: brought to you by Corrigan Moving Systems, the official equipment 1497 01:24:16,040 --> 01:24:19,320 Speaker 1: moving company of the Buffalo Bills. DJ on the tweet 1498 01:24:19,320 --> 01:24:23,720 Speaker 1: sheet says Poyer to get some experienced leadership in the secondary, 1499 01:24:24,120 --> 01:24:26,639 Speaker 1: and then I would pick Oliver or Phillips to eat 1500 01:24:26,720 --> 01:24:29,200 Speaker 1: up the middle of the line so Miller can feast 1501 01:24:29,240 --> 01:24:33,439 Speaker 1: on the outside. Go Bills. Yeah, I mean these are 1502 01:24:33,960 --> 01:24:37,600 Speaker 1: these have been common responses. Jeremy says Jordan Phillips, he 1503 01:24:37,720 --> 01:24:40,960 Speaker 1: is a presence we are missing dearly on that front line. 1504 01:24:40,960 --> 01:24:43,240 Speaker 1: I wish most of them would be back, but it's 1505 01:24:43,240 --> 01:24:47,920 Speaker 1: just not looking good. Janine says, definitely, Jordan Poyer. I 1506 01:24:47,960 --> 01:24:50,560 Speaker 1: think the secondary has been the hardest hit with injuries. 1507 01:24:50,800 --> 01:24:53,519 Speaker 1: The man can ball out. Hopefully he's feeling better and 1508 01:24:53,600 --> 01:24:56,439 Speaker 1: can get back out there to be the leader we need. 1509 01:24:57,240 --> 01:25:00,000 Speaker 1: Dave says stopping the run will be the most important 1510 01:25:00,120 --> 01:25:02,720 Speaker 1: part of the game Sunday, especially if the weather is 1511 01:25:02,760 --> 01:25:04,760 Speaker 1: going to be terrible from the hurricane. We need our 1512 01:25:04,800 --> 01:25:09,599 Speaker 1: big boys back. I want Oliver and Phillips. Keith says, 1513 01:25:09,680 --> 01:25:13,120 Speaker 1: considering what the offense looked like against Miami, it's got 1514 01:25:13,120 --> 01:25:16,479 Speaker 1: to be Mitch. Look, I don't think the offense looked bad. 1515 01:25:18,160 --> 01:25:20,240 Speaker 1: It was just in the red zone where they came 1516 01:25:20,320 --> 01:25:24,200 Speaker 1: up short, and in short yardage situations they struggled. Now 1517 01:25:24,400 --> 01:25:27,760 Speaker 1: do I think Morris could make a difference. Yeah, absolutely, 1518 01:25:28,640 --> 01:25:31,080 Speaker 1: given their number. I don't think the offense was terrible 1519 01:25:31,160 --> 01:25:35,080 Speaker 1: last week. In situational football, they were bad, because that's 1520 01:25:35,080 --> 01:25:39,200 Speaker 1: what that's the first It's like your golf game. First 1521 01:25:39,200 --> 01:25:40,680 Speaker 1: thing that you lose when you don't play for a 1522 01:25:40,680 --> 01:25:42,880 Speaker 1: while is your short game. The first thing you lose 1523 01:25:43,360 --> 01:25:45,840 Speaker 1: when you got your offensive line out or guys starting 1524 01:25:45,840 --> 01:25:49,040 Speaker 1: to leave is situational football is short yardage and goal line. 1525 01:25:49,320 --> 01:25:51,400 Speaker 1: That's it. And you know, maybe get long yardage if 1526 01:25:51,439 --> 01:25:54,479 Speaker 1: it's certain injuries. It's those situational plays where you've got 1527 01:25:54,479 --> 01:25:58,439 Speaker 1: specific things you've got to get done that cost you 1528 01:25:58,640 --> 01:26:01,120 Speaker 1: when you start losing player, and it's where you lose 1529 01:26:01,160 --> 01:26:03,960 Speaker 1: your edge when those guys have had reps together and 1530 01:26:04,000 --> 01:26:07,000 Speaker 1: there's certain things they gotta do and subtle things like 1531 01:26:08,760 --> 01:26:13,280 Speaker 1: feet put foot positioning, hand placement, body position, all of 1532 01:26:13,280 --> 01:26:15,880 Speaker 1: that stuff in conjunction with the guy next to you. 1533 01:26:16,800 --> 01:26:19,240 Speaker 1: It all makes a difference down in short yards goal line, 1534 01:26:19,280 --> 01:26:22,280 Speaker 1: and these guys just don't have enough reps, particularly playing 1535 01:26:22,360 --> 01:26:24,519 Speaker 1: the positions they were stuck playing the center, the right 1536 01:26:24,520 --> 01:26:28,879 Speaker 1: guard and the right tackle. Kessenberry knew what he was doing, probably, 1537 01:26:29,160 --> 01:26:33,120 Speaker 1: but not with Tommy Doylet guard right, and not not 1538 01:26:33,240 --> 01:26:37,280 Speaker 1: with Greg Mats at center. And so you know, you 1539 01:26:37,280 --> 01:26:40,080 Speaker 1: want to know why the offense sputtered and had trouble 1540 01:26:40,080 --> 01:26:42,400 Speaker 1: punching it in the end zone. You don't need to 1541 01:26:42,400 --> 01:26:44,400 Speaker 1: look any further than that. Now you can say what 1542 01:26:44,520 --> 01:26:48,800 Speaker 1: you want to buy, Josh and one hoping that throw, sure, sure, 1543 01:26:50,360 --> 01:26:52,160 Speaker 1: but you had like you can't do. You had a 1544 01:26:52,160 --> 01:26:54,680 Speaker 1: bunch of other chances than that. And one of the 1545 01:26:54,720 --> 01:26:57,320 Speaker 1: reasons you're throwing that place because you can't do anything else. 1546 01:26:57,600 --> 01:26:59,439 Speaker 1: You got no other you got other options that are 1547 01:26:59,479 --> 01:27:02,479 Speaker 1: limited because of the guys up front. Break time for 1548 01:27:02,560 --> 01:27:05,680 Speaker 1: us here, Steve and I back to wrap things up 1549 01:27:06,160 --> 01:27:08,439 Speaker 1: on who we'd like to see back in the lineup 1550 01:27:08,560 --> 01:27:13,120 Speaker 1: soonest for this weekend's matchup with the Ravens. We're back 1551 01:27:13,160 --> 01:27:15,040 Speaker 1: in a second here on One Bills Live, presented by 1552 01:27:15,080 --> 01:27:25,240 Speaker 1: Collot of Health. It's Buffalo Bill's Radio. All right, welcome 1553 01:27:25,240 --> 01:27:27,479 Speaker 1: back to One Bills Live. Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with 1554 01:27:27,520 --> 01:27:30,400 Speaker 1: you here on a Tuesday about ready to close this 1555 01:27:30,560 --> 01:27:32,880 Speaker 1: thing up. A couple of final thoughts on the tweet 1556 01:27:32,920 --> 01:27:36,679 Speaker 1: sheet from Dan We need Morse and Phillips back the most. 1557 01:27:36,760 --> 01:27:39,120 Speaker 1: We need someone to get heat on the quarterback with Miller, 1558 01:27:39,760 --> 01:27:44,120 Speaker 1: and we need Morse to help Alan. So it's kind 1559 01:27:44,120 --> 01:27:47,400 Speaker 1: of in a stude observation. They feel that if you 1560 01:27:47,439 --> 01:27:50,280 Speaker 1: get one of those guys on the defensive interior, that 1561 01:27:50,640 --> 01:27:53,000 Speaker 1: the trickle down effect will help Miller on the edge. 1562 01:27:53,080 --> 01:27:55,880 Speaker 1: I think that the prevailing sentiment is, and I agree 1563 01:27:55,920 --> 01:27:58,599 Speaker 1: with it, is that if the offense gets healthy, they 1564 01:27:58,600 --> 01:28:00,559 Speaker 1: can score with anybody. I mean, they're gonna be able 1565 01:28:00,560 --> 01:28:02,400 Speaker 1: to keep up on the scoreboard if the other team 1566 01:28:02,439 --> 01:28:05,640 Speaker 1: gets out and our defense has the ability to make 1567 01:28:05,760 --> 01:28:08,400 Speaker 1: enough plays to make the difference in the end with 1568 01:28:08,520 --> 01:28:11,840 Speaker 1: the pass rush and with the run stop. Um, Yeah, 1569 01:28:11,880 --> 01:28:14,600 Speaker 1: I don't think so. Yeah, I like. I like the 1570 01:28:14,680 --> 01:28:20,320 Speaker 1: answer with Mitch Morris, m Spencer Brown, Bates would be 1571 01:28:20,400 --> 01:28:22,559 Speaker 1: nice to get back in there. But if you can 1572 01:28:22,560 --> 01:28:24,920 Speaker 1: get your offensive line back to healthy, this offense can 1573 01:28:24,960 --> 01:28:27,519 Speaker 1: score with anybody, even the Baltimore Ravens, who are hanging 1574 01:28:27,520 --> 01:28:31,840 Speaker 1: a lot of points on people. But defensively, with this team, 1575 01:28:31,840 --> 01:28:35,320 Speaker 1: you're facing it scared. They scare me. They do this. 1576 01:28:35,320 --> 01:28:38,040 Speaker 1: This team the Baltimore Ravens is the first team this year. 1577 01:28:38,080 --> 01:28:41,080 Speaker 1: It saying maybe the Rams that really kind of scares me. 1578 01:28:41,640 --> 01:28:44,040 Speaker 1: And there because they're good, right, I mean, I think 1579 01:28:44,080 --> 01:28:46,200 Speaker 1: an argument can be made for the secondary because they 1580 01:28:46,240 --> 01:28:48,479 Speaker 1: have been the hardest hit by injury. Hide was down 1581 01:28:48,560 --> 01:28:52,360 Speaker 1: Plawyer's coming off an injury, Dane Jackson's coming off an injury. Um, 1582 01:28:53,320 --> 01:28:56,760 Speaker 1: and you don't after Davious White back yet, So I 1583 01:28:56,800 --> 01:28:59,240 Speaker 1: think you can make an argument. Nobody said Dane Jackson today. 1584 01:28:59,240 --> 01:29:03,400 Speaker 1: I was surprised, not one person said Dane Jackson a 1585 01:29:03,520 --> 01:29:08,720 Speaker 1: starting corner. Um. Almost. I realized people look at the 1586 01:29:08,800 --> 01:29:10,880 Speaker 1: Ravens and say, oh, they're a running team. They've been 1587 01:29:10,920 --> 01:29:13,599 Speaker 1: throwing the ball. Yeah, I mean, what are they? Are 1588 01:29:13,600 --> 01:29:19,760 Speaker 1: they the number one passing number three? Yeah? No, I'm 1589 01:29:19,800 --> 01:29:21,840 Speaker 1: sorry the Bills. The Bills are a little bit further down. 1590 01:29:21,880 --> 01:29:24,360 Speaker 1: The Bills are number one, number one passing. Josh leads 1591 01:29:24,360 --> 01:29:26,640 Speaker 1: the league in throwing. But Baltimore is the number one 1592 01:29:26,760 --> 01:29:29,759 Speaker 1: scoring outfensive. They score and that's a that's a problem. 1593 01:29:29,800 --> 01:29:32,120 Speaker 1: So we'll see, we'll see. That's it for Steve and 1594 01:29:32,160 --> 01:29:34,200 Speaker 1: I today. We'll catch you tomorrow here on one Bills 1595 01:29:34,200 --> 01:29:41,200 Speaker 1: Live at one
