Speaker 1: Cutdown Buffalo at a Steve Tester who has been all

2
00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:12,120
Speaker 1: over the field. He was kind of a dual role

3
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:18,680
Speaker 1: fighter for you, Steve, a blimp. We're not even in

4
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:28,400
Speaker 1: the straded beer of normalcy. It could be the start

5
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 1: of a special season for the Bills and their fans,

6
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 1: the sixty first season of Buffalo Bills football, with holpens

Speaker 1: first and goal from the two, Allen takes the snap,

9
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:44,280
Speaker 1: makes the handoff, rolls to his left, gonna keep it himself,

10
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:47,320
Speaker 1: race to the end zone. He is in touchdown, Buffalo

Speaker 1: Josh Allen first touchdown of the year. Josh lay action

12
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 1: Faith has time to throw, has time to scan the field, looks,

13
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:57,320
Speaker 1: looks those to his right, fires at right side of

Speaker 1: his caught, caught for the touchdown. Rookie Boss touchdown Buffalo.

Speaker 1: into the end zone. Touchdown Buffalo John Brown a seventeen

18
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:15,039
Speaker 1: yard touchdown catch snapped to Darnald Now. He rolls out

19
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:16,679
Speaker 1: to his left, fires it over the middle of the

20
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 1: field and it is intersect It picked off by Matt Mulano.

21
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 1: The pass was up high. Mulando came up with it.

22
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:26,679
Speaker 1: Third and seven, Darnald quick pass caught by Crowder. Crowder

23
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:29,479
Speaker 1: gets the first down in more at midfield Pizza Man

Speaker 1: one and the only Eric Wood who's live on the

35

Speaker 1: line with us from Louisville, and he'll be breaking down

36
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 1: the game with us through this first hour the program. Eric,

37
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:20,640
Speaker 1: good to have you. How'd that game grab you yesterday? Man?

38
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:24,240
Speaker 1: It was fun to watch, you know. It's always great

39
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 1: to see the Bills take care of business and take

40
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 1: care of it early. I don't know how great of

41
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 1: an indication we get for how good the Bills are

42
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 1: going to be this season based upon their opponent yesterday.

43
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 1: The Jets really struggled in Orchard Park yesterday. Hopefully that's

44
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:41,640
Speaker 1: an indication that the Buffalo Bills are just that good.

45
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:44,360
Speaker 1: The Bills defense picked up right when they left off,

46
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,079
Speaker 1: and we saw a lot of execution in a variety

47
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:50,800
Speaker 1: of ways from this offense. Yeah, Steve, I mean that

48
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 1: first quarterman, it looked the Bills passing game looked like

49
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 1: pitch and catch. I mean, it was way too easy. Yeah,

50
00:02:57,560 --> 00:02:58,960
Speaker 1: it was. And you know, it's not going to be

51
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,520
Speaker 1: like that every week. And I think most Bills fans

52
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 1: and the NFL fans for sure, you know, nobody's gonna

53
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 1: win all their games in the in a season. You're

54
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 1: gonna have up some downs. But it does say a

55
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 1: lot that the Bills did not play their best despite

56
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 1: the fact that Josh Allen had a career day. He

57
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 1: left a lot of plays on the field, so did

58
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 1: the rest of the team, and they still won convincingly.

59
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:22,239
Speaker 1: They absolutely they won a ten point game which could

60
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:24,919
Speaker 1: have been an absolute blowout. They didn't play their best,

61
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 1: but they still got the win, and I think that

62
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:29,359
Speaker 1: says a lot about where they're at the level of

63
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 1: talent they have. Their margin of error is such, particularly

64
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 1: against the Jets yesterday, was maybe bigger than we've seen

65
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 1: them have in any game in recent memory. Yeah, and

66
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 1: I know, once the inactives came out right after Steve

67
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 1: and I were finishing up with the roundtable on the

68
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 1: Bills Radio network, we see that Lee Smith is inactive,

69
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 1: and I looked at Steve and I'm like, they're spreading

70
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 1: them out today. Six wide receivers, which yeah, all six

71
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 1: wide receivers were active for the game. But even leading

72
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 1: up to the game on Sunday, Eric, Steve and I

73
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 1: were talking about on this show how the clear mismatch

74
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 1: was at the receiver position, knowing how devoid of top

75
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 1: end talent the Jets were at the cornerback position, so

76
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 1: why not spread that group thin? And that's just what

77
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:18,040
Speaker 1: Brian Dable did. Yeah, you're exactly right. That's a smart

78
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:20,479
Speaker 1: game plan. And I think where the Bills lie on

79
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 1: a depth standpoint on both sides of the ball, they

80
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:26,840
Speaker 1: can continue each week to activate and run the game

81
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 1: plan that they find weakness in their opponent. In this week,

82
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 1: when you're going against the Jets, even back to last year,

83
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,600
Speaker 1: this is an excellent run defense. You're playing the strength

84
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:39,599
Speaker 1: of their defense. Maybe their team is their defensive line.

85
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 1: So you spread them out, and you start the game

86
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,360
Speaker 1: in ten personnel and a hurry up offense. You wear

87
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 1: them out. I loved the use of screens early in

88
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:50,479
Speaker 1: the game. You saw multiple hard counts in the first half.

89
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:52,839
Speaker 1: You drew two off sides out of their defensive line.

90
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 1: It was very tough for that defensive line to get

91
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:58,160
Speaker 1: in any sort of a rhythm. The way Brian dave

92
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 1: Ball was mixing up the play calls. Did it say

93
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:04,279
Speaker 1: anything to you that, even with you know, rookie receiver

94
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 1: like Gabriel Davis, a new face like Steph Diggs, certainly

95
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 1: that didn't scare you. But did it say anything to

96
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 1: you that Brian Dabele has enough faith in a passing

97
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 1: offense that hasn't had a preseason game to say, you

98
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:18,599
Speaker 1: know what, guys, this is our game plan. I trust you.

99
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 1: We're gonna let this quarterback throw at forty times. Yeah,

100
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 1: And I think that shows a lot big testament to

101
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 1: the continuity that they've had. This is year three in

102
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 1: the offense with Josh Allen and Brian day Ball and

103
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 1: the new additions Stefan Diggs. Unlike, if you draft a guy,

104
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 1: you know what you're getting. And I'd loved what Josh

105
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:39,480
Speaker 1: Allen said after the game because this is what I've

106
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 1: been thinking for a while, Stefan Diggs and John Brown.

107
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 1: That's one A and one B in week the week,

108
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 1: pick on the matchup that you see best fit. I

109
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 1: think looking back to last year, Baker Mayfield in year

110
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 1: two and where he really had that drop off. Well

111
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:56,839
Speaker 1: he gets Odell Beckham Junior last year, well, with Odell

112
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 1: Beckham and Jarvis Landry, that should be one A and

113
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 1: one B. But you saw him forcing the ball to

114
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:04,799
Speaker 1: Obj early in games. He got in trouble. Well yesterday,

115
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,600
Speaker 1: early on in the game, Stefon Diggs wasn't catching the

116
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 1: number of balls John Brown was in some other targets

117
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 1: and that's fine, wait for it to open up. And

118
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 1: I thought Josh did a phenomenal job of that. And

119
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:18,719
Speaker 1: yes to your points, Steve, it shows a lot of

120
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 1: confidence in your third year quarterback that you're going to

121
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 1: come in in the opener in Orchard Park on a

122
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:26,160
Speaker 1: fairly windy day where it rained early in the game

123
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 1: and throw at forty plus times and let him go

124
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 1: out and have a bunch of career highs. Yeah. And

125
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 1: the other thing too was I think we all knew

126
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:35,839
Speaker 1: last year that their most popular personnel grouping on offense

127
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 1: was eleven personnel with the three wide, one tight end look,

128
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 1: and they used that a great deal yesterday. But right

129
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:46,599
Speaker 1: behind it was ten personnel going four wide with the

130
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:51,040
Speaker 1: one back, and they had pretty darn good success with

131
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:54,839
Speaker 1: that spread formation. And you wonder how much they turned

132
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 1: to that through the course of the season. Do they

133
00:06:57,440 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 1: do that this coming week against Miami? Know, when they

134
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 1: have two top flight corners there in Xavier and Howard

135
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 1: and Byron Jones, It'll be interesting to see where the

136
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 1: shift lies in the personnel groupings that Brian Dabele chooses

137
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 1: to deploy. But to give you guys a perspective on this, okay,

138
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 1: sixty eight percent of the plays in eleven personnel yesterday,

139
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 1: twenty seven percent of the plays in four wide, A

140
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 1: total of ninety five percent of their offensive plays called

141
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 1: we're in ten or eleven personnel. What does that say

142
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 1: to you, Eric? It shows that they have a lot

143
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 1: of weapons at the receiver position, they have a lot

144
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 1: of confidence in the quarterback. And to our original point,

145
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 1: they're attacking the mismatch, which is one of my favorite

146
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 1: things that Brian Dayball does is he tries to attack

147
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 1: the other team's weakness. Now, as the season goes on,

148
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 1: you find out what you're good at. And obviously early

149
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 1: in this season through preseason, they must have figured out

150
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 1: that they really like this ten personnel game. And what

151
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 1: I like that they can still do out their ten

152
00:07:55,920 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 1: personnel based upon Isaiah McKenzie's McKenzie's ability to run the

153
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 1: football and do that shovel pass. They still have a

154
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 1: great run game option there. You still have the read

155
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:09,559
Speaker 1: option game with Josh Allen, you have the design runs

156
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 1: for the running back, you have the jet sweeps. We

157
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 1: saw a wide receiver screen out of that. And then

158
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 1: even when Dawson Knox comes on the field and they

159
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 1: truly get into eleven personnel, he's not that far of

160
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 1: a drop off from a receiving standpoint. You saw him

161
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 1: make a great contest to catch along the sideline yesterday,

162
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 1: which which I absolutely loved. That throw just a back

163
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 1: shoulder throw. The throw that I wish quarterbacks prior to

164
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 1: Josh Allen could make on a more consistent basis. When

165
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:39,200
Speaker 1: when Aaron Rodgers made these back shoulder throws popular about

166
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 1: six seven years ago, we didn't. We couldn't make those happen.

167
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:45,440
Speaker 1: And now you have a guy that can make these

168
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 1: back shoulder throws happen. In Dawson Knox also has a

169
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 1: great run after the catch on that wide receiver screen.

170
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 1: It was, honestly, it was a lot of great things

171
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 1: to show on tape in week one. And if I'm

172
00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 1: sitting there down in Miami right now and I'm Brian

173
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 1: Flores and I'm looking at this film, you almost think, man,

174
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:08,040
Speaker 1: they can they can truly get to anything out of

175
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 1: all pretty much any formation. Yeah, speaking of the offensive formations,

176
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 1: we got a caller on the line, Patrick out in

177
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:16,440
Speaker 1: la Is up early this morning, and he wants to

178
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:19,720
Speaker 1: talk about those offensive line offensive formations. Patrick, what do

179
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 1: you have for us, Hey, guys, um, good morning, Good

180
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 1: morning morning. I was really impressed with the bill's very

181
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:30,199
Speaker 1: use to formations, but I wanted to mention that it's

182
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 1: embarrassing that the players stayed inside the locker room for

183
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 1: the anthem, given that they live in a country that

184
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 1: afforded them the privilege to go out and play a

185
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 1: child's game for money. So um, getting back to the

186
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:46,440
Speaker 1: formations that I think it's going to keep everyone on

187
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 1: their toes for the rest of the season, and that

188
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick is probably having a difficult morning thinking up

189
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 1: ways that how is he going to stop the spread

190
00:09:56,760 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 1: formation because once Gabriel Davis tightens up a couple of mistakes,

191
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:03,720
Speaker 1: he missed two blocks that led to Allen getting destroyed twice,

192
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:07,080
Speaker 1: and he had that holding on special teams. But we're

193
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 1: looking strong early in week one, So thank you so much, gentlemen.

194
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 1: I'll hang up and listen. Yeah, I mean, I go ahead, Steve,

195
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:15,720
Speaker 1: you can react to that one. Yeah, I agree. And

196
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:17,840
Speaker 1: that's one thing we saw early in the season last year.

197
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 1: You've got to go out and it's as much about

198
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 1: finding out what the defense wants to do against you

199
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:24,960
Speaker 1: and what who the defense you're playing against is as

200
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 1: much as it is finding out about your own team

201
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 1: week to week. They found out some things about themselves

202
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 1: yesterday going against a real, live NFL team instead of

203
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:37,960
Speaker 1: just themselves. And I think that experimentation with formations and

204
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:41,200
Speaker 1: personnel groupings not only said what they thought they could

205
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 1: do better against the people they had in New York,

206
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 1: but it also gave them some information about what they

207
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 1: could do in the future. So all that stuff goes

208
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 1: into the pot, and this is still a feeling out process.

209
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:53,599
Speaker 1: It was the first game of the regular season, but

210
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:56,440
Speaker 1: it was also the first game of the preseason as well. Eric,

211
00:10:56,440 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 1: I don't surmise that Bill Belichick is worried about the

212
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:02,800
Speaker 1: Bills right now because he's got a different opponent here

213
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 1: in Week two, and he's not going to see the

214
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:06,960
Speaker 1: Bills until Week eight, so he's onto the next opponent

215
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 1: that day have next week, which I don't even know,

216
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:12,439
Speaker 1: having not looked at their schedule, And we should probably

217
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 1: mention this too. Oh, by the way, they were the

218
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 1: number one defense last year, and while they have had

219
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 1: a lot of personnel losses, the one part of their

220
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 1: defense that is largely intact is their secondary with J. C. Jackson,

221
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:28,440
Speaker 1: Stefan Gilmore one of the mccardis. I mean, they're gonna

222
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:30,199
Speaker 1: be fine on the back end. I don't think they're

223
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:33,679
Speaker 1: terribly worried about four wide right now from Buffalo at

224
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:37,080
Speaker 1: this point in the season. Yeah, you're right. They played

225
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:39,319
Speaker 1: the Dolphins yesterday and this week they got a very

226
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:42,600
Speaker 1: tough test in the seahawksy. So Bill Belichick is probably

227
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 1: not onto Buffalo seen to your point on the Patriots defense,

228
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 1: I was watching the Bills game at the one o'clock hour.

229
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:52,080
Speaker 1: I'll admit most of what I saw from the Patriots

230
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:56,439
Speaker 1: Dolphins game yesterday was highlights. But their defense sure looked good.

231
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:59,960
Speaker 1: They picked off fits three times yesterday. And we'll say

232
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:02,719
Speaker 1: the jokes, guys, he's one of my best friends. But well,

233
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 1: they're already talking about two of down there, as you'd expect.

234
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:09,200
Speaker 1: That didn't take long. Oh yeah, I'm sure. And you

235
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:12,679
Speaker 1: know what, It's going to be two a time eventually, right,

236
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:15,959
Speaker 1: me and Ryan fitz Ryan Fitzpatrick talked about that on

237
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,480
Speaker 1: my podcast. It's eventually going to be two a time.

238
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 1: How soon that is? I'm not sure. How healthy is

239
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 1: he coming off the injuries from last year. How well

240
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:26,960
Speaker 1: does he know the offense with no preseason games and

241
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 1: no OTAs, that's going to be the question. And we

242
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:31,960
Speaker 1: sure no Fitz knows this offense having played in it

243
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 1: now with three organizations under Chaine Gaily. Yeah, and I'm

244
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:37,959
Speaker 1: not anticipating that Brian Floor is going to throw two

245
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 1: Otagovailoa out for his first NFL start against what's been

246
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 1: a top five defense each of the last two years

247
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:45,719
Speaker 1: in the Buffalo Bills this week, so I would anticipate

248
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 1: that Fitz would be back in the lineup again this week.

249
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:53,520
Speaker 1: Let's take another call from Carl on line. Carl and Amherst,

250
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 1: and we remind you you can call us call in

251
00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 1: here at eighth three, five fifty if you want to

252
00:12:57,800 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 1: be a part of the program here. So, Carl, what

253
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 1: do you have for us? Carlia there, Yes, I'm here, Okay,

254
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 1: what do you got for us? Guy? I'm I'm calling

255
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:12,600
Speaker 1: because I want to congratulate the team on their first win.

256
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:20,440
Speaker 1: But I'm very curious why why our quarterback carried the

257
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 1: ball so much, why we didn't use our backs more.

258
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 1: And I'm also calling to find out about our injuries

259
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:33,600
Speaker 1: and Milano and edmunds irony or do you know anything? Yeah,

260
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:36,640
Speaker 1: I'll take a stab. The injuries we don't know about

261
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:38,079
Speaker 1: for sure, and we don't have a report in it.

262
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 1: But I've heard people say, you know Edmonds was seeing

263
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:43,440
Speaker 1: he didn't have any ice on his shoulder, He wasn't

264
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:45,440
Speaker 1: in a sling or anything like that. It doesn't appear

265
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 1: to be catastrophic, at least on the surface. Milano soft

266
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 1: tissue pulled a hammy, so the history of hamstrings. Depending

267
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:56,480
Speaker 1: on the severity of it, the Bills will probably sit

268
00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:58,840
Speaker 1: him down and be very cautious with his return. So

269
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 1: I would say, have to see Coach McDermott will be

270
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:03,640
Speaker 1: addressing the media at four o'clock, so we may get

271
00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:06,840
Speaker 1: an update there as to the severity, although I would

272
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 1: tend to think we're probably going to hear much from coach,

273
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:14,080
Speaker 1: especially with a division game on tap this weekend. But Eric,

274
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:18,960
Speaker 1: this would leave a sizeable hole in this team's defense

275
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 1: if these two linebackers, who play a ton pretty much

276
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:25,400
Speaker 1: all the defensive snaps are not part of the equation

277
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 1: this week. Yeah. Absolutely, And when Sean McDermott took over,

278
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 1: they addressed the linebackers in the draft almost immediately. And

279
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 1: when Sean McDermott's defenses were elite in Carolina, was from

280
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 1: elite linebacker player was from Luke Keekley, it was from

281
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:45,840
Speaker 1: Thomas Davison. Then they drafted Shack Thompson in the first round. Well,

282
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:48,880
Speaker 1: they have their linebackers They love their two linebackers, and

283
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:51,320
Speaker 1: Milano and Edmunds. And you saw when Milana went out

284
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 1: of the game yesterday, the Jets attacked aj Klein immediately.

285
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:57,920
Speaker 1: With Levon Bell drew the holding call, which actually ended

286
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 1: up dinging up the hamstring of Levon Bell, but they

287
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:04,040
Speaker 1: went out to him immediately. Now, AJ Klein's played a

288
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 1: lot of football in this league. You love having a

289
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:09,360
Speaker 1: backup like aj Klein where you can put him right

290
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:12,880
Speaker 1: in and you know that you're going to get consistency

291
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:16,320
Speaker 1: from your veteran. This isn't a rookie linebacker where who

292
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 1: knows what you're going to get from him. You know

293
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 1: what you're gonna get from a J. Klein. Now, Matt Milano,

294
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:22,920
Speaker 1: in my opinion, is one of the best linebackers in

295
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:24,880
Speaker 1: the NFL, a guy that can truly stay on the

296
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:27,680
Speaker 1: field for three downs. But we saw last year the

297
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 1: Bills are very cautious with soft tissue injuries. They do

298
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 1: not want these to linger on throughout the season. We

299
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:35,600
Speaker 1: saw it with Devin Singletary last year. We saw it

300
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 1: with Matt Milano and a number of other players with hamstrings.

301
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:41,400
Speaker 1: The Bills have shown to be overly cautious, so hopefully

302
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:43,760
Speaker 1: it's it's very minor. He can come back with a

303
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:47,280
Speaker 1: sizeable lead. Yesterday they decided not to put him back in.

304
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:50,200
Speaker 1: Hopefully that's the case, but we'll see, and this could

305
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:52,680
Speaker 1: be a deal this week with a good rushing attack

306
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:55,760
Speaker 1: from Miami that they may I'll say a good running

307
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:58,880
Speaker 1: back stable from Miami. I'll correct myself a little bit,

308
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:02,440
Speaker 1: that they may try to get more downhill on the

309
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills, which we saw in Orchard Park last year.

310
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 1: We saw them activate a fullback for the first game

311
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:11,040
Speaker 1: against the Bills last year when they played him in

312
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 1: Orchard Park, they activated a fullback for the game, trying

313
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 1: to exploit the run defense of the Buffalo Bills, which

314
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:19,280
Speaker 1: had shown to be a little bit vulnerable to that point,

315
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 1: and to take it a step further. We should not

316
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 1: forget the fact that del Shan Phillips, the other linebacker

317
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:26,720
Speaker 1: who plays a lot on special teams, left the game

318
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 1: with a quad injury, and then at the very end

319
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 1: of the game, Tyrell Dodson went out and was tended

320
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:33,680
Speaker 1: to on the field and then left and went to

321
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:35,800
Speaker 1: the sidelines and did not play the last three plays.

322
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:38,640
Speaker 1: Tyler Mattacavige came in for him at the very end

323
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 1: of the game. So this linebacker injury list may go

324
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:44,640
Speaker 1: further than just Milano and Edmonds, And if it does,

325
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 1: you have to believe that the personnel department's going to

326
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:50,280
Speaker 1: be on the horn looking for options because you don't

327
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 1: want to get caught shorthanded, especially with a division game

328
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:54,640
Speaker 1: coming up. I will say this, Dodson wanted to come

329
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 1: back on the field. He ran halfway out, then got

330
00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 1: substituted back out. He was his didn't seem to be

331
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:00,440
Speaker 1: bad at all. He was going to come back in

332
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 1: the game. And they said no, no no, no, they you know,

333
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:05,359
Speaker 1: they were cautious with him, which maybe a little bit

334
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:07,920
Speaker 1: of what they did with Tremaine Edmonds if he had

335
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 1: if he had a tweaked wing, and we'll say, I

336
00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:13,400
Speaker 1: can go in, and they're like, and I could see

337
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:15,960
Speaker 1: Sean McDermot, the train staff, corny, No, no way. Games

338
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 1: in hand. Games in hand, you sit down, you're not

339
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:21,679
Speaker 1: going back. Let's let's address Carl's other question, and that

340
00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:24,720
Speaker 1: being the carries by Josh Allen. Now, there was a

341
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 1: good deal of read option and he chose to keep

342
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:30,080
Speaker 1: almost all of them based on the reads that he was,

343
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:32,360
Speaker 1: you know, reading the defensive line in the end and whatnot.

344
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:35,359
Speaker 1: Some were more successful than others. He did take a

345
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:37,960
Speaker 1: couple of pretty good licks, and I know every Bills

346
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 1: fan out there holds their breath when that happens. And

347
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:43,679
Speaker 1: I think the concern on the part of Bills fans

348
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:49,399
Speaker 1: is why unnecessarily expose him two hits that he doesn't

349
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:51,680
Speaker 1: need to be exposed to. Why don't you just hand

350
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:55,160
Speaker 1: the ball off? I look at it this way. He

351
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:57,800
Speaker 1: was the most effective runner for this team yesterday. Yeah,

352
00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:00,480
Speaker 1: and you look at you look at Zach Moss and

353
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:03,280
Speaker 1: you look at Devin Singletary. Those two guys had eighteen

354
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:06,320
Speaker 1: carries for what fifty one yards or forty one yards?

355
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:08,679
Speaker 1: I mean, that's two point two a carry. I mean,

356
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 1: and this is a number two run defense from last year,

357
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 1: granted without some linebackers that they had last year, but

358
00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:16,879
Speaker 1: it's a very good run front. I don't know if

359
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:19,879
Speaker 1: they thought they'd get more, you know, more positive gains

360
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:22,000
Speaker 1: out of Josh keeping the ball, But you guys, tell

361
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:24,600
Speaker 1: me what you think. They did call some quarterback runs

362
00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:26,080
Speaker 1: and I think that's part of the thing. You knew

363
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:27,880
Speaker 1: you were going to have to do something different than

364
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:29,919
Speaker 1: just handed off on a straight handoff. I mean in

365
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:33,240
Speaker 1: the first half they had one straight handoff run play.

366
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:35,959
Speaker 1: They knew that this. They had a lot of respect

367
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:37,719
Speaker 1: for the Jets defensive front in the run game. They

368
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 1: were number two in the league last year and a

369
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:41,399
Speaker 1: lot of people were saying, well, that's because everybody threw

370
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 1: it against You can say that, but in reality, now

371
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 1: they stopped people. They stop people last year. They were

372
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:49,719
Speaker 1: a good run front, and the Bills knew that. I mean,

373
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:52,480
Speaker 1: they're going six, they're going five four wide most of

374
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:54,680
Speaker 1: the games, so they knew that was gonna be the

375
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:56,919
Speaker 1: way they did it. And I said this on the

376
00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:59,000
Speaker 1: broadcast to Eric and you can chime in on this too.

377
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:02,360
Speaker 1: If I'm a defensive coordinator and you're going to run

378
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 1: the quarterback read options, I want the quarterback to be

379
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:07,000
Speaker 1: the guy running the football, not the running back, because

380
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 1: it gives a he's not as good at running the

381
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:10,960
Speaker 1: football as their guys. As the running backs are in

382
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 1: b I want a shot at him. Yeah, And you

383
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:16,800
Speaker 1: can bet a guy like Greg Williams would love to

384
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:19,440
Speaker 1: have his defenders coming downhill on the quarterback in a

385
00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:23,480
Speaker 1: run game. Yeah. I think as the season progresses, you'd

386
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:25,840
Speaker 1: love to see the Buffalo Bills get away from some

387
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:29,080
Speaker 1: of this read game. And I'll say in the north,

388
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:31,600
Speaker 1: out in the field where he's going to take shots.

389
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:33,119
Speaker 1: Now if you're on the five yard line and he's

390
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:35,040
Speaker 1: gonna be diving into the end zone, if it's for

391
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:39,119
Speaker 1: a critical fourth down in one like we saw the

392
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:42,159
Speaker 1: Bills utilize on the jet side of the field yesterday

393
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 1: where they ran essentially a QB sneak from the gun

394
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:48,920
Speaker 1: with Josh Allen. Let him get his momentum going forward.

395
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:52,920
Speaker 1: He's been extremely effective in fourth down runs. Let him

396
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:55,040
Speaker 1: convert first downs like that. But I think as the

397
00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:57,359
Speaker 1: season goes on, you get away from some of the

398
00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:00,879
Speaker 1: QB draw stuff out in the field where he's gonna

399
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:04,560
Speaker 1: take some i'll say unnecessary shots. But to your point,

400
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:08,960
Speaker 1: Steve and Chris, the run game wasn't as effective let yesterday,

401
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:13,080
Speaker 1: so they let him do a few more things. And Josh,

402
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:15,320
Speaker 1: I've talked to him about this in person, talked about

403
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:17,439
Speaker 1: on the podcast. I've heard him saying it elsewhere. He

404
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:19,800
Speaker 1: likes taking a shot early in the game to get

405
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:21,760
Speaker 1: him going. At one point. We get that out of

406
00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:23,639
Speaker 1: him in his career because I'd love him just to

407
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:26,239
Speaker 1: go through a game completely unscathed. I don't know, but

408
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 1: apparently he still likes taking a couple of shots early

409
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:30,520
Speaker 1: to get him into the flow of the ball game.

410
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:34,400
Speaker 1: But it's one of his biggest strengths though. So let's

411
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:37,399
Speaker 1: not pretend like Josh Allen at this point of his

412
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:40,720
Speaker 1: career is one of the top two or three best

413
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:43,520
Speaker 1: pure pocket passers in the league. But tell you what,

414
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 1: with the ball in his hands on the perimeter, he's

415
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:49,240
Speaker 1: phenomenal and we gotta let him use that as his weapon.

416
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:51,760
Speaker 1: Can you do a better job of not taking shots

417
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:55,679
Speaker 1: at the end of runs? Yes? Absolutely, yeah, And you

418
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:58,240
Speaker 1: know I we even mentioned it on the pregame radio

419
00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 1: show yesterday. Josh basically says, I tell Dabe will give

420
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:03,960
Speaker 1: me an early run in the game, just so I

421
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:07,639
Speaker 1: can get into the feel of and the flow of

422
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:09,760
Speaker 1: the game, because he said he's so jacked up at

423
00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:12,400
Speaker 1: the beginning of games he needs that like first hit

424
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:14,800
Speaker 1: to kind of settle him down almost, which is kind

425
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:17,119
Speaker 1: of crazy when you think about it, but it works

426
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 1: for him, and so I guess that's the way it goes.

427
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:22,240
Speaker 1: Eight oh three five fifty one eight eight eight five

428
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:27,160
Speaker 1: fifty two five fifty. Let's go to Brian online one.

429
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:30,399
Speaker 1: He's got a comment on Brian Dable's offensive game plan. Brian,

430
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:37,119
Speaker 1: Welcome to the show. What do you got for us? Brian?

431
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:43,480
Speaker 1: Are you're there or Derek? I'm sorry, Derek, Derek? Are

432
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:46,359
Speaker 1: you with us? Yeah? Going all right? What do you

433
00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:49,080
Speaker 1: got for us? I was just wondering what you guys

434
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:52,120
Speaker 1: thought about Dable yesterday. I thought he was pretty good.

435
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:54,320
Speaker 1: I was just curious what out the two of you

436
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 1: thought about. Yeah, I really liked his game plan. Steve

437
00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:58,680
Speaker 1: and I were wondering through the course of the week

438
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:02,200
Speaker 1: if they were going to spread this Jets cornerback contingent

439
00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:06,600
Speaker 1: thin in light of how devoid of top end talent

440
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:09,280
Speaker 1: it was, and they proved to do just that. And

441
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:12,000
Speaker 1: that's what Dables Himo is. As Eric mentioned, you know,

442
00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:14,960
Speaker 1: find the biggest mismatch and exploit it to high heaven,

443
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:17,920
Speaker 1: and it could be completely different next week. Knowing how

444
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:20,960
Speaker 1: strong the Dolphins corners are, there might be some other

445
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:23,920
Speaker 1: thing they feel they can exploit. We know that Beagle

446
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:26,159
Speaker 1: the linebacker is out for the year. They've got to

447
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:28,639
Speaker 1: back up in his role. Maybe they target him with

448
00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:31,639
Speaker 1: a tight end or some other kind of you know

449
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:34,400
Speaker 1: thing in the passing game with a running back coming

450
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:36,720
Speaker 1: on circle routes and exploiting that guy time and time

451
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:40,720
Speaker 1: and time again. I think that's what makes Dable so effective,

452
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:45,440
Speaker 1: is while the mismatch may even be obvious to people

453
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:50,200
Speaker 1: like Steve and I, he finds a way to exploit

454
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:53,280
Speaker 1: it in multiple ways, even though the personnel grouping may

455
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:56,040
Speaker 1: stay largely the same. Yeah, we've been talking about it

456
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:58,320
Speaker 1: all morning. We liked that the approach he took. It

457
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:00,280
Speaker 1: says a lot about his confidence in Josh. They let

458
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 1: him throw at forty plus times during the game on

459
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:06,399
Speaker 1: a day when they a lot of the runs were his,

460
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:09,600
Speaker 1: and also where they had eighty five offensive plays and

461
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:12,280
Speaker 1: they went most of the day in four wide. I

462
00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:14,399
Speaker 1: think it says a lot about his confidence in that offense.

463
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 1: But I think as they get further down the road,

464
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:19,760
Speaker 1: and Eric you can speak to this, you go four wide,

465
00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:22,720
Speaker 1: sooner or later, you're gonna get a team that's gonna

466
00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:25,960
Speaker 1: rush six when you block five, or rush seven when

467
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:28,439
Speaker 1: you block six. They're just gonna decide to do that

468
00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 1: a lot, and you're gonna have to have answers for that,

469
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:34,119
Speaker 1: But for yesterday against that team, I thought it was

470
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:37,760
Speaker 1: the exact right approach to take. Yeah, And to your point,

471
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:39,840
Speaker 1: there was a few times where Greg Williams styled up

472
00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:42,919
Speaker 1: pressures that were either undetected by the line to be

473
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:44,720
Speaker 1: able to slide back the other way, or is the

474
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:47,479
Speaker 1: simple call it and run at play where they were

475
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:51,400
Speaker 1: sliding away from an unblocked defender. And it's amazing how

476
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:53,880
Speaker 1: well Josh Allen can make those guys miss when they're

477
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:56,080
Speaker 1: coming free at him. Two or three times yesterday a

478
00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 1: blitzer completely scott free and Josh Allen avoids it and

479
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:02,879
Speaker 1: there makes a throw down the field or was a

480
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:05,359
Speaker 1: number one of a number of his scrambles came in

481
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:08,160
Speaker 1: that regard, But it's amazing how he's able to make

482
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:10,439
Speaker 1: that unblocked defender miss. But you don't want to make

483
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:12,920
Speaker 1: a living doing that, and you're gonna take some unnecessary shots.

484
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:15,480
Speaker 1: So if you're going to stay in that ten personnel game,

485
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:18,040
Speaker 1: you have to be very good at site reads by

486
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:22,520
Speaker 1: the quarterback and as you see defenders coming, you get

487
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:24,920
Speaker 1: on the same page as your receivers and you throw

488
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:27,360
Speaker 1: to the open windows and you make the defense pay

489
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:30,399
Speaker 1: if they're gonna continually bring six and seven guys. And

490
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:32,760
Speaker 1: last year on third downs, one of the biggest weaknesses

491
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:35,600
Speaker 1: the Bills had was when teams simply would bring one

492
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:38,440
Speaker 1: extra defender and say, hey, look, you can't get open

493
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:40,480
Speaker 1: fast enough. And I think that's part of the reason

494
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:43,680
Speaker 1: you bring in a Stefan Diggs is to combat that. Yeah,

495
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:46,800
Speaker 1: and we saw him make several plays off script yesterday

496
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:50,040
Speaker 1: by extending them. As you mentioned, arm tackles do not

497
00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:52,600
Speaker 1: bring Josh down in the pocket or anywhere else because

498
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:54,560
Speaker 1: he is so strong and he can pull through those

499
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:56,960
Speaker 1: and you and the touchdowns to Zach Moss is a

500
00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:59,159
Speaker 1: perfect example of that. I mean he gets out of

501
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:01,040
Speaker 1: the pocket when there is his pressure and the pockets

502
00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:05,480
Speaker 1: breaking down, he escapes, contain, gets outside, buys time with

503
00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:08,320
Speaker 1: his feet, and then just throws a dart in between

504
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:11,320
Speaker 1: two defenders to Moss for a touchdown. That's that's what

505
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:14,680
Speaker 1: he gives you. And you know, I know that, as

506
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:16,480
Speaker 1: Eric said, you don't want to make a living out

507
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:20,080
Speaker 1: of that, but knowing that you have that capability gets

508
00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:22,679
Speaker 1: you out of trouble a lot. And Josh after the

509
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:26,320
Speaker 1: game too, Steve, to his credit, gave credit to his

510
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:29,879
Speaker 1: receivers for being really sharp on their scramble rules. You know,

511
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:32,280
Speaker 1: when working back to the football or back to where

512
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:35,760
Speaker 1: the quarterback is on the field, what are you making

513
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:38,320
Speaker 1: those scramble rules? It's true. Just walk us through those,

514
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:40,480
Speaker 1: because I don't know if everybody is familiar with what

515
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:42,800
Speaker 1: the scramble rules are for receivers. What happened, and it's

516
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:45,120
Speaker 1: different for every team, but what happened. What we used

517
00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 1: to do is you have if you're on the same

518
00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:49,600
Speaker 1: side of the quarterback where he's scrambling. If you're short,

519
00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:52,760
Speaker 1: you go long. If you're long, you come short. You

520
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:55,359
Speaker 1: move away from where you were at the time. You

521
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:57,960
Speaker 1: got to get in motion when when the quarterback scrambles,

522
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:00,280
Speaker 1: you have to scramble too. You got him. If you

523
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:02,520
Speaker 1: can't just camp out, and if you're on the far

524
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:04,960
Speaker 1: side of the field, you come across and you come

525
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:07,760
Speaker 1: to the quarterback in a vacant area and try and

526
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:11,679
Speaker 1: get to him. Everybody's got to bust loose and try

527
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:13,400
Speaker 1: and get open a little bit of street bowl. There's

528
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:15,400
Speaker 1: no question about it. It's off the page. But if

529
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:17,840
Speaker 1: you have certain rules, it gives you the best chance

530
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:19,919
Speaker 1: to get open and the quarterback's got to understand what

531
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:21,800
Speaker 1: he expects you to do and then look for the

532
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:26,160
Speaker 1: void in the defense. Eight oh three five fifty five

533
00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:28,960
Speaker 1: fifty two five fifty. Let's go to Andy in Buffalo,

534
00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 1: who has a comment on Stefan Diggs. We're twenty six

535
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:34,280
Speaker 1: minutes in and we've barely touched on the top new

536
00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:36,159
Speaker 1: passing weapon for the Bills. Andy, what do you have

537
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:40,200
Speaker 1: for us? Um, I gotta thank you to take taking

538
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:45,280
Speaker 1: my call. I'm really impressed, Um. Wept hold of passing

539
00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:47,879
Speaker 1: off end. Look that it really seems like Josh Allen

540
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:50,000
Speaker 1: just has all day to throw, and it seems like

541
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:53,439
Speaker 1: odd that the addition that Dick is just only going

542
00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:57,600
Speaker 1: to help John Brown throughout the season, John Brown seems

543
00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:01,320
Speaker 1: to just be open all the time. It was really

544
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:04,600
Speaker 1: nice to see the passing offenses continuously moving the ball

545
00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:07,960
Speaker 1: down the field. I think the past protection too, it

546
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 1: has been amazing. Yeah, I'll tip my hat to the

547
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:14,760
Speaker 1: line here. I mean there were times where Josh is

548
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:17,120
Speaker 1: just bouncing around in the pocket, He's looking left, he's

549
00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 1: looking right, and then he gets to scan back to

550
00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:21,280
Speaker 1: the left again. I mean, I can't remember the last

551
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:25,680
Speaker 1: time that happened. With a great degree of consistency over

552
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:28,680
Speaker 1: the course of play after play after play after play.

553
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:31,719
Speaker 1: In a game like usually the defense will change something

554
00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:34,639
Speaker 1: up to shorten that time in the pocket down for

555
00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:37,200
Speaker 1: the quarterback. And it just did not seem to happen

556
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:39,320
Speaker 1: yesterday on the part of the Jets, which is why

557
00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:42,560
Speaker 1: the passing game looked like pitch and catch. But Eric,

558
00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:44,720
Speaker 1: why don't you break down for us? You know, I

559
00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:47,760
Speaker 1: know you're already outlined how John Brown was helped by

560
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:49,879
Speaker 1: the fact that Diggs was getting all the attention early

561
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:52,840
Speaker 1: in the game. But eventually Josh came back to Diggs

562
00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:54,520
Speaker 1: and he had nine targets in the game. And I

563
00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:56,640
Speaker 1: don't know about you, Eric, but I really think there

564
00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:59,399
Speaker 1: was only one time when he threw to him in

565
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:01,359
Speaker 1: the end zone he was double covered that he that

566
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:05,080
Speaker 1: he quote unquote forced the ball to Stefan. Other than that,

567
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:06,840
Speaker 1: I thought he just threw to him when he knew

568
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:09,400
Speaker 1: he was open. What do you think? Yeah, I agree

569
00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:11,280
Speaker 1: with that, And I thought Josh had a great job

570
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:13,960
Speaker 1: all day of not forcing it to anybody except for

571
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:15,760
Speaker 1: maybe that one play in the red zone. And those

572
00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:17,760
Speaker 1: windows down in the red zone do get tight. It

573
00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:21,480
Speaker 1: shows that he trusts Stefan Diggs to get open down there.

574
00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:24,480
Speaker 1: And I thought Stefan Diggs had a great day. Three

575
00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:28,399
Speaker 1: of his catches were were for first downs on third down,

576
00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:31,720
Speaker 1: So he's making plays when they when they know it's

577
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 1: a pass. And and I've loved his one block on

578
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:38,160
Speaker 1: the screen as well to spring John Brown for the touchdown,

579
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:40,800
Speaker 1: And Josh mentioned after the game in his press conference

580
00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:42,600
Speaker 1: that John Brown the first first and he ran to

581
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:45,480
Speaker 1: after he scored was Stefan Diggs for making that block

582
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:48,440
Speaker 1: down the field. But the Bill has got a special

583
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:52,200
Speaker 1: weapon in Stefan Diggs. And for Josh to have three

584
00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:55,360
Speaker 1: guys that can just flat out separate like Cole Beasley,

585
00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:58,360
Speaker 1: John Brown and Stefan Diggs, then you can simply go

586
00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:03,000
Speaker 1: to attacking matchups and you see man coverage because you've

587
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:06,080
Speaker 1: got three guys that are super effective at receiver. Yeah,

588
00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:07,880
Speaker 1: I'll agree with you that the offensive line did a

589
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:12,640
Speaker 1: nice job yesterday. And it's nice too for them when

590
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:14,800
Speaker 1: they do guess wrong and when they do hold off

591
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:17,120
Speaker 1: and then lating the down. They got a quarterback that

592
00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:20,640
Speaker 1: is hard to catch. You know, Josh Allen helps them

593
00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:23,800
Speaker 1: as much as as they're helping him. And everything was

594
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:25,880
Speaker 1: working for him yesterday. There's no question about it from

595
00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:28,280
Speaker 1: the from the early going. And you know, we we

596
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:30,040
Speaker 1: haven't talked about it yet, but you know the two

597
00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:32,880
Speaker 1: fumbles Josh Allen had, one was a strip and the

598
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:34,840
Speaker 1: other way he just lost control of the ball. That

599
00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:38,760
Speaker 1: you know, those are really tough plays to live through.

600
00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:41,200
Speaker 1: But I like too, and I said this on the broadcast,

601
00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:46,240
Speaker 1: Eric Dabele's not gonna stop calling those plays because to

602
00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:48,520
Speaker 1: win games in this league and consistently, you've got to

603
00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:50,680
Speaker 1: hit on all cylinders a lot of the time. And

604
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:54,000
Speaker 1: one of the big cylinders of Buffalo's offense is his

605
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:56,720
Speaker 1: ability to run. He's gonna have the ball in his

606
00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:58,920
Speaker 1: hands every play. You're not gonna bench him because he

607
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:01,680
Speaker 1: fumbled the ball running down the field twenty yards. He's

608
00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:03,560
Speaker 1: gonna come back. You got us say, oh listen, you're

609
00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:06,120
Speaker 1: gonna carry it more. They're not gonna take the ball

610
00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:09,640
Speaker 1: out of his hands, and they came right back to him.

611
00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:12,480
Speaker 1: Hence he had another fumble in the game when he

612
00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:14,600
Speaker 1: was running with it. They're gonna keep giving him the

613
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:16,640
Speaker 1: football on these run plays because it's one of the

614
00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:20,239
Speaker 1: things this offense needs to do to be effective. If

615
00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:23,560
Speaker 1: the running game. If if Moss and singletarry and they're

616
00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:26,120
Speaker 1: a defensive front and their run defense is that good,

617
00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:28,960
Speaker 1: let's see how good they are against the quarterback. Still

618
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:32,520
Speaker 1: make them pay for it without having to hand the

619
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:34,240
Speaker 1: football off. But they're not taking the ball out of

620
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:36,400
Speaker 1: Josh Allen's hands in the run game. I don't think

621
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:38,720
Speaker 1: hold on to your thoughts, guys, because we do have

622
00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:40,920
Speaker 1: to take a break. But keep calling in here at

623

Speaker 1: on one Bill's Live presented by Kalida Health. This is

632
00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:22,200
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills Radio broadcasting from the Seneca Studios here in

633
00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:25,600
Speaker 1: Orchard par Chris Brown, Steve Tasker along with Eric Wood

634
00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:29,440
Speaker 1: joining us from Louisville on a Bills victory Monday twenty

635
00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:32,080
Speaker 1: seven seventeen over the Jets, And we go right back

636
00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:34,160
Speaker 1: to the phones at eight o three oh five fifty

637
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:37,440
Speaker 1: and we talked to Randy in Buffalo. Randy, what do

638
00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:43,080
Speaker 1: you have for us here? Randy? Turn your radio down,

639
00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:47,720
Speaker 1: my man, turn it down. Sorry, guys, no problem. Oh yeah,

640
00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:51,840
Speaker 1: My question. My question is about in the last drive,

641
00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:54,640
Speaker 1: in last four minutes of the game, why they go

642
00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:58,240
Speaker 1: to the pre event when they were doing so well,

643
00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:02,240
Speaker 1: you know, stopping everything to them guys to get some points. Yeah,

644
00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:04,280
Speaker 1: I mean, I think that's just an example of what

645
00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:07,120
Speaker 1: we've seen Coach McDermott's teams do before. When they're up

646
00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:10,400
Speaker 1: on the scoreboard at that point in the game, it's

647
00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:13,280
Speaker 1: in hand, the win is virtually assured. You're up more

648
00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:18,000
Speaker 1: than a score, and you trade yards for time on

649
00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:21,320
Speaker 1: the clock, sometimes points too. But am I right? Guys?

650
00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:23,200
Speaker 1: You trade yards for time on the clock because you

651
00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:25,280
Speaker 1: want to end the game right, exactly right. You're you're

652
00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:27,680
Speaker 1: more interested in geting keeping them in bounds and giving

653
00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:29,800
Speaker 1: them some yards and keeping the clock running than you

654
00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:34,080
Speaker 1: are stopping them for three and out because and here's

655
00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:36,520
Speaker 1: the reason too. And you saw this a little bit yesterday,

656
00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:38,200
Speaker 1: when the Jets started to pick up the pace a

657
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:41,520
Speaker 1: little bit offensively, it's because they started to get desperate.

658
00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:45,720
Speaker 1: Desperate teams just play better, They gamble more, they try

659
00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:49,160
Speaker 1: to make things happen. And more often than not, NFL

660
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:51,320
Speaker 1: teams are good enough to do that when they're desperate.

661
00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:54,600
Speaker 1: They don't play like that all the time. But when

662
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:59,200
Speaker 1: that happens, and plus the Bills did not, we're not desperate. Yeah, right,

663
00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:02,440
Speaker 1: So that that little shift in the teeter totter of

664
00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:05,440
Speaker 1: emotional content, you could tell that happens. So what it is,

665
00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:08,400
Speaker 1: And when you get late in the game, Chum mcdermot's

666
00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:11,280
Speaker 1: taking the pressure off of his defense and saying, listen,

667
00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:14,320
Speaker 1: keep him in front of you. Let keep the clock running.

668
00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:17,000
Speaker 1: And that's the goal of these plays, not so much

669
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:19,120
Speaker 1: to go out to sell out, try and get an interception.

670
00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:21,240
Speaker 1: All of a sudden, the guy turns her rest, spins

671
00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:23,160
Speaker 1: out of a tackle and goes the distance. Eric, what

672
00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:25,440
Speaker 1: do you make of the defensive Ever, yesterday, we're almost

673
00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:27,239
Speaker 1: forty minutes into the show. We haven't even mentioned them

674
00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:29,560
Speaker 1: a lick, and I understand why, But you look at

675
00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:32,320
Speaker 1: that defensive front four three and outs in the first

676
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:36,880
Speaker 1: five series for the Jets. And you know, I don't

677
00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:39,840
Speaker 1: know about you guys, but Sam Darnold was rushing throws.

678
00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:42,840
Speaker 1: He was so skittish in the way that game started.

679
00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:45,960
Speaker 1: Would you agree with that? Eric? I agree, and I

680
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:48,120
Speaker 1: think the Bills de line did an excellent job of

681
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:50,920
Speaker 1: constantly moving him off of the spot, making him throw

682
00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:54,840
Speaker 1: on the move, not letting him hit his receivers in stride.

683
00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:57,480
Speaker 1: You saw three sacks by the Buffalo Bills yesterday, a

684
00:33:57,600 --> 00:33:59,600
Speaker 1: great start of the season in that regard. One of

685
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:02,000
Speaker 1: them was one of my biggest pet peeves ever. Sam

686
00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:03,880
Speaker 1: Darnold could easily throw the ball at a bounds and

687
00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:06,280
Speaker 1: he took a sack along the sideline on the dots

688
00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:08,560
Speaker 1: and sack. But it was a great after by the

689
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:11,160
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. That defense, they pick up right where they

690
00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:14,840
Speaker 1: left off last year, being stifling through the air. The

691
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:17,840
Speaker 1: last caller mentioned giving up some yards in the prevent

692
00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:19,160
Speaker 1: at the end of the game. But you know what,

693
00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:21,840
Speaker 1: as much as the Bills defense wants to be number

694
00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:25,080
Speaker 1: one statistical defense in the league this year, they'll take

695
00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:28,120
Speaker 1: a win any day of the week. And to you know,

696
00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:30,200
Speaker 1: you give up seven points there, but they chew up

697
00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:34,000
Speaker 1: the entire clock, put them in a desperation situation with

698
00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:36,400
Speaker 1: an onside kick and an opportunity for the Bills just

699
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:39,520
Speaker 1: a kneel the game out. But on the day, they

700
00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:42,120
Speaker 1: only give up two hundred and fifty four total yards.

701
00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:45,120
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's a dominating performance. And you mentioned

702
00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:47,520
Speaker 1: four out of the first five drives forcing a three

703
00:34:47,520 --> 00:34:50,760
Speaker 1: and out, and that's absolutely huge. And that's what allows

704
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:54,200
Speaker 1: the Bills to go on three consecutive scoring drives after

705
00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:56,839
Speaker 1: they fumble. It's because they're getting the ball back so

706
00:34:57,000 --> 00:35:00,520
Speaker 1: quickly that the Jets defense can't to the breath. And

707
00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:03,239
Speaker 1: their one possession they did get a first down. I

708
00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:05,520
Speaker 1: believe it was the fourth drive of the game. They

709
00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:07,800
Speaker 1: only got one first down and then they punted away

710
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:10,600
Speaker 1: and Andre Roberts did a great job in the return

711
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:12,840
Speaker 1: game of putting the Bills where they're not in a

712
00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:15,719
Speaker 1: backed up situation besides the one where they had a

713
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:19,000
Speaker 1: penalty on the punt return. But the Bills defense was outstanding.

714
00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:22,360
Speaker 1: Their pass coverage was gray Trey White with an awesome

715
00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:24,640
Speaker 1: pass break up on a third down on one of

716
00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:27,840
Speaker 1: the really accurate throws by Darnold to Perriman. Their number

717
00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:30,880
Speaker 1: one receiver Trey White just completely blankets him and it

718
00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:34,400
Speaker 1: was an incredible performance. And then you get the interception

719
00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:38,719
Speaker 1: through the air by Milano. I'm assuming that was some

720
00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:41,400
Speaker 1: type of a Tampa two look since he was retreating

721
00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:44,480
Speaker 1: to the middle of the field, but Milano showing off

722
00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:47,080
Speaker 1: his athleticism by making that play. Yeah, and it's interesting

723
00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:49,760
Speaker 1: that you talked about the Bill's efforts to move Darnold

724
00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:51,319
Speaker 1: off his spot, because a lot of what we were

725
00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:54,000
Speaker 1: hearing out of New York in terms of assessing Arnold's

726
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:57,120
Speaker 1: play in training camp was that he needs to work

727
00:35:57,160 --> 00:35:59,880
Speaker 1: on his lower body mechanics, and when you get him moving,

728
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:02,719
Speaker 1: I think it affects his throwing mechanics even more. I

729
00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:06,120
Speaker 1: think that certainly weighed into why he was so inaccurate

730
00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:08,960
Speaker 1: early in that football game. Let's go back to the

731
00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:11,960
Speaker 1: phones to carry in Hamburg. Who's got a topic that

732
00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:14,279
Speaker 1: I know Eric will be all over here. You want

733
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:16,160
Speaker 1: to talk about the screen game, Carrie? What do you

734
00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:20,080
Speaker 1: got for us? Yeah? What's the difference this year? Or

735
00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:22,399
Speaker 1: at least in the first game. The screen game looked

736
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:25,120
Speaker 1: pretty effective compared to what they were doing last year,

737
00:36:25,160 --> 00:36:28,319
Speaker 1: which he either didn't see it or wasn't very effective. Yeah, Eric,

738
00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:31,560
Speaker 1: I'm gonna let you take this one. Yeah, that's a

739
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:34,279
Speaker 1: great question, and some of it's circumstantial. You need a

740
00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:38,360
Speaker 1: defensive line that's rushing the passer to get the screen

741
00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:40,480
Speaker 1: game going. And when you throw, when you drop back

742
00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:43,479
Speaker 1: to throw the ball. You know, Josh Allen had forty

743
00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:45,440
Speaker 1: six attempts, but then he had scrambles on top of that,

744
00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:47,520
Speaker 1: drops back over fifty times to the game. Well, the

745
00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:50,160
Speaker 1: defensive line's gonna be rushing the passer because they assume

746
00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:52,560
Speaker 1: it's a pass almost every play, and so you get

747
00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:55,560
Speaker 1: you get that going. But but to your point, the

748
00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:57,960
Speaker 1: screen game is something that takes a lot of timing

749
00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:00,759
Speaker 1: and did not have any preseason game to work this out,

750
00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:03,120
Speaker 1: to not have OTA's to work through the spring game

751
00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:06,520
Speaker 1: to the screen game. It's incredible to see how far

752
00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:09,120
Speaker 1: along they were. One of the screens, the wide receiver

753
00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:11,600
Speaker 1: screen to John Brown was a check, a phenomenal check

754
00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:16,040
Speaker 1: by Josh Allen and Brian day Ball or I guess

755
00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:18,880
Speaker 1: Josh said it after the game that that wasn't a

756
00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:21,359
Speaker 1: check with me play. He simply saw that the Bills

757
00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:23,680
Speaker 1: were in a bad look and got them to that

758
00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:26,719
Speaker 1: wide receiver screen that ended up being a walk in touchdown.

759
00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:29,960
Speaker 1: But I loved the variety of screens we saw yesterday

760
00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:32,680
Speaker 1: because we saw receiver screens, we saw tight end screens

761
00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:35,759
Speaker 1: and screens of the running back. And that's we talk

762
00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:38,200
Speaker 1: about the Bills being so having so much variety on

763
00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:41,160
Speaker 1: offensive being touch to prepare for. That's the stuff you

764
00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:44,520
Speaker 1: can do in year three with an offensive coordinator. And

765
00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:47,239
Speaker 1: when you return so many starters, you simply build off

766
00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:49,520
Speaker 1: what you were doing last year, and you have so

767
00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:52,160
Speaker 1: many tools in the toolbox. And that's more homework for

768
00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:55,480
Speaker 1: Miami this week, right, Steve absolutely plus In a game

769
00:37:55,520 --> 00:37:57,839
Speaker 1: where you're really struggling to run the football at all,

770
00:37:57,840 --> 00:38:00,520
Speaker 1: the screen games a great way to get a little

771
00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:02,680
Speaker 1: bit of a run game going. It's just a short pass,

772
00:38:02,719 --> 00:38:05,520
Speaker 1: it turns into a long getting get a guy in space,

773
00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:07,279
Speaker 1: get the ball to somebody who can run with it

774
00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:11,200
Speaker 1: after the catch in some space. It's a great addition

775
00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:14,320
Speaker 1: to the passing game. That's also kind of a hybrid

776
00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:17,200
Speaker 1: run game. Gets your offensive lineman out ahead of it

777
00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:19,480
Speaker 1: and gets them running out. And I agree with you,

778
00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:21,920
Speaker 1: Eric that and he's right that that I called it

779
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:25,440
Speaker 1: on the broadcast to Josh Allen stopped everything and changed

780
00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:27,320
Speaker 1: that play at the at the line on that screen

781
00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:31,120
Speaker 1: pass to a John Brown and Cody Ford did a

782
00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:33,680
Speaker 1: great job releasing out and getting out ahead of him.

783
00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:36,000
Speaker 1: Of course, Steph Diggs, as you said, made a great

784
00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:39,680
Speaker 1: block as well, really well executed it on the fly

785
00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:43,880
Speaker 1: there by everybody involved. And you don't do that without

786
00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:47,440
Speaker 1: a lot of, you know, continuity, without a little experience

787
00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:51,080
Speaker 1: in the offense, not just by John Brown and Cody Ford,

788
00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:54,560
Speaker 1: but also a veteran like Stefan Diggs eight oh three

789
00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:56,919
Speaker 1: h five fifty to get on board with us, Chris Brown,

790
00:38:56,960 --> 00:38:59,600
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker and Eric Wood with you talking to Bill's

791
00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:03,040
Speaker 1: victory Monday, Let's go to Jerry in Depew, who wants

792
00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:06,120
Speaker 1: to talk about the running back contingent right now. Jerry,

793
00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:08,400
Speaker 1: what do you have for us? Hey, guys, good show.

794
00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:11,640
Speaker 1: Eric and Steve you could probably you know, address this.

795
00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:15,840
Speaker 1: But my question is, when Josh is in the shotgun

796
00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:19,879
Speaker 1: formation and it receives the ball, it appears like, yes,

797
00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:23,040
Speaker 1: he is stationarybody's giving that ball to the running back

798
00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:25,879
Speaker 1: who really has no time to make a move to

799
00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:29,000
Speaker 1: find a hole. I guess I'm saying as an obvious.

800
00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:32,200
Speaker 1: I think our running back should be furthered back in

801
00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:35,480
Speaker 1: the backfield so they can get momentum to make a

802
00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:38,879
Speaker 1: fake and maybe find a hole. What do you guys,

803
00:39:38,920 --> 00:39:40,400
Speaker 1: what do you think of that? Steve? I don't know.

804
00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:43,040
Speaker 1: I get what I guess. I think I get what

805
00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:44,960
Speaker 1: you're saying. I think one of the problems with that

806
00:39:46,680 --> 00:39:50,640
Speaker 1: is the fact that you got an offensive game plan

807
00:39:50,719 --> 00:39:53,239
Speaker 1: where you're gonna throw at fifty times, you're gonna drop

808
00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:56,600
Speaker 1: back fifty times. The defensive line is coming after you.

809
00:39:56,920 --> 00:39:58,840
Speaker 1: They're gonna get a lot of penetration. They're going to

810
00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:00,440
Speaker 1: get up the field if you want to run the

811
00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:02,759
Speaker 1: football at all. Like I said earlier, I think they

812
00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:05,520
Speaker 1: had less than a hand less than five straight handoffs

813
00:40:05,520 --> 00:40:08,640
Speaker 1: in the running game. It was a it was all

814
00:40:08,760 --> 00:40:12,120
Speaker 1: read option. That's not even a straight handoff. I mean

815
00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:15,840
Speaker 1: it's a read option, that kind of thing. The the

816
00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:19,080
Speaker 1: shovel pass to Isaiah McKenzie coming across with a handoff

817
00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:22,680
Speaker 1: there as well, Yeah it counts as a pass. But yeah, yeah,

818
00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:25,560
Speaker 1: all of that was their running game. They had less

819
00:40:25,600 --> 00:40:27,440
Speaker 1: than really I think they did less had less than

820
00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:30,400
Speaker 1: five places where Josh Allen took the ball from Underson

821
00:40:30,440 --> 00:40:32,120
Speaker 1: and ran back handed to the running back on a

822
00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:34,560
Speaker 1: running place straight into the line in one way, shape

823
00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:37,160
Speaker 1: or form. So it was all I think that was

824
00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:40,840
Speaker 1: the way this game unfolded. I don't know that changing

825
00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:44,600
Speaker 1: your offensive philosophy to drop and to line up your

826
00:40:44,680 --> 00:40:48,320
Speaker 1: running backs deeper as necessary, maybe it would have helped yesterday,

827
00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:50,799
Speaker 1: but I don't know how you know that going in

828
00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:53,920
Speaker 1: and they were showing some different looks also because they

829
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:56,799
Speaker 1: ran some twenty personnel yesterday in the red zone with

830
00:40:56,920 --> 00:41:00,359
Speaker 1: a split backfield with Zach Moss and Devin Singletary, which

831
00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:03,280
Speaker 1: is something that Steve thought they might unveil this season

832
00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:06,399
Speaker 1: with knowing the capabilities of those two guys, and very

833
00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:08,359
Speaker 1: late in the game, guys down in the red zone

834
00:41:08,560 --> 00:41:11,640
Speaker 1: they ran a pistol formation with Josh and the shotgun

835
00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:14,160
Speaker 1: and Singletary right behind him, which we haven't seen a

836
00:41:14,160 --> 00:41:17,360
Speaker 1: whole lot of under Brian Dables, so little different wrinkles

837
00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:19,359
Speaker 1: being thrown in there. I gotta believe at that point

838
00:41:19,360 --> 00:41:21,480
Speaker 1: in the game, Brian Davis probably sitting up there in

839
00:41:21,480 --> 00:41:23,040
Speaker 1: the booth, going, all right, let's give an extra homework

840
00:41:23,040 --> 00:41:26,560
Speaker 1: assignment to the Dolphins defensive coordinator this week let's run

841
00:41:26,560 --> 00:41:30,040
Speaker 1: put a little pistol out there. Let's put this. That's

842
00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:33,680
Speaker 1: the games when ship that happens, right, Eric, Yeah, that's

843
00:41:33,880 --> 00:41:38,279
Speaker 1: that's absolutely right. And to the point about the run game,

844
00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:41,880
Speaker 1: by moving the running back back or offsetting him or

845
00:41:41,920 --> 00:41:44,480
Speaker 1: pistol or whatever you want to do with that, at times,

846
00:41:44,480 --> 00:41:46,360
Speaker 1: that makes it very hard for that running back to

847
00:41:46,360 --> 00:41:48,799
Speaker 1: pass protect heat one. He cannot see through Josh Allen

848
00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:51,200
Speaker 1: if he's behind him in the shotgun and the pistol.

849
00:41:51,280 --> 00:41:53,640
Speaker 1: We ran into some issues with that when I was playing.

850
00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:55,560
Speaker 1: And when you offset him back a little bit further,

851
00:41:55,600 --> 00:41:58,480
Speaker 1: you see it more in the college game. Linebackers are

852
00:41:58,520 --> 00:42:00,040
Speaker 1: just so fast they get on you. You have to

853
00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:04,160
Speaker 1: close that space, and I see the caller's point. That's

854
00:42:04,280 --> 00:42:08,239
Speaker 1: that's the drawback of the shotgun runs is that the

855
00:42:08,320 --> 00:42:10,440
Speaker 1: running back does not get a lot of the momentum,

856
00:42:10,600 --> 00:42:13,120
Speaker 1: but he also gets the ball quickly and he gets

857
00:42:13,160 --> 00:42:15,960
Speaker 1: good vision of the play in the backfield. You know,

858
00:42:16,160 --> 00:42:18,640
Speaker 1: the check out the shotgun run game was effective for

859
00:42:18,680 --> 00:42:20,480
Speaker 1: him last year. They're not gonna ditch it. They're not

860
00:42:20,520 --> 00:42:23,600
Speaker 1: gonna switch in their strategy just based off of game

861
00:42:23,680 --> 00:42:27,040
Speaker 1: one not getting the run game going, and that partially

862
00:42:27,120 --> 00:42:30,560
Speaker 1: could be due to a the Jets defensive front and

863
00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:33,840
Speaker 1: then be you know, just getting this offensive line working

864
00:42:33,840 --> 00:42:36,400
Speaker 1: together for the first time against a different opponent this

865
00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:39,600
Speaker 1: year eight oh three five fifty one eighty eight five

866
00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:41,640

Speaker 1: on One Bills Live. Chris Brown, Steve Tasker, and one

873
00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:13,560
Speaker 1: Eric Wood joining us for the first hour of the

874
00:43:13,600 --> 00:43:17,520
Speaker 1: program today Here on A Bills Victory Monday. And we

875
00:43:17,640 --> 00:43:19,480
Speaker 1: go back to the phones at eight oh three oh

876
00:43:19,520 --> 00:43:22,600
Speaker 1: five fifty and we go to Gabe in Rochester who

877
00:43:22,600 --> 00:43:26,000
Speaker 1: has been waiting patiently. And Gabe has got a question

878
00:43:26,040 --> 00:43:28,759
Speaker 1: about Josh Allen throwing in windy conditions. What do you

879
00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:33,360
Speaker 1: have their, Gabe? Are you doing guys? Good? Steve Tasker

880
00:43:33,480 --> 00:43:36,120
Speaker 1: loved you growing up. Eric Wood, I was actually the

881
00:43:36,239 --> 00:43:39,560
Speaker 1: MCDJ when he came to Rochester at a bull riding

882
00:43:39,600 --> 00:43:45,680
Speaker 1: bar ah wow. Yeah, all right. So my question is

883
00:43:45,760 --> 00:43:49,640
Speaker 1: Josh Allen and with the wind? Was it the wind

884
00:43:49,760 --> 00:43:53,000
Speaker 1: or was it like no preseason because these throws, like

885
00:43:53,120 --> 00:43:55,560
Speaker 1: with John Brown wide opening the end zoe he didn't

886
00:43:55,560 --> 00:43:59,000
Speaker 1: even square up to throw it. Mike Singletary when he

887
00:43:59,040 --> 00:44:01,399
Speaker 1: didn't could have had a touchdown if he just let

888
00:44:01,480 --> 00:44:03,560
Speaker 1: him a little bit more against you know, because he's

889
00:44:03,600 --> 00:44:06,600
Speaker 1: smaller against the corner back there or even the cold

890
00:44:06,600 --> 00:44:08,960
Speaker 1: beast he play when when he stole and he had

891
00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:11,360
Speaker 1: a catchdown one he would have just hit him in stride.

892
00:44:11,360 --> 00:44:13,080
Speaker 1: He would have stoked up walking all the way out

893
00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:15,640
Speaker 1: to the end zone. Yeah, I would. I would agree

894
00:44:15,640 --> 00:44:17,839
Speaker 1: with that one on Cole Beasley especially he hits him

895
00:44:17,840 --> 00:44:21,319
Speaker 1: in stride. That's six and it's not even close and

896
00:44:21,400 --> 00:44:23,080
Speaker 1: he did have to die for that. Yeah. I mean

897
00:44:23,280 --> 00:44:25,520
Speaker 1: his ball location was a little off, guys, but at

898
00:44:25,520 --> 00:44:28,520
Speaker 1: the end of the day, he's seventy one percent completion.

899
00:44:28,640 --> 00:44:31,319
Speaker 1: I don't know how you have a problem with that, right,

900
00:44:31,520 --> 00:44:33,320
Speaker 1: And there are a couple of the two throws in

901
00:44:33,360 --> 00:44:34,480
Speaker 1: the end zone are the ones that are going to

902
00:44:34,600 --> 00:44:37,239
Speaker 1: keep him up at night. I think there's the first one.

903
00:44:37,320 --> 00:44:39,920
Speaker 1: I was laughing in the booth because Steph Diggs is there.

904
00:44:39,920 --> 00:44:42,759
Speaker 1: Think he's got two guys standing in his face. There

905
00:44:42,800 --> 00:44:45,440
Speaker 1: are standing on the gold line, He's standing at the pylon.

906
00:44:45,560 --> 00:44:47,520
Speaker 1: They're all within three feet of each other, and Steph

907
00:44:47,600 --> 00:44:51,840
Speaker 1: Diggs is pointing behind them at Dawson Knox, throw it

908
00:44:51,880 --> 00:44:54,680
Speaker 1: to him. Throw it to that guy. He's telling. He's

909
00:44:54,680 --> 00:44:58,279
Speaker 1: telling Josh Allen, throw it to him. And of course Josh,

910
00:44:58,360 --> 00:45:01,480
Speaker 1: you missed him. And and then later on he missed

911
00:45:02,640 --> 00:45:04,440
Speaker 1: John Brown in the back of the end zone, right

912
00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:07,040
Speaker 1: which everybody was, which is there were gifts up on

913
00:45:07,080 --> 00:45:10,279
Speaker 1: Twitter in like five minutes. It was ridiculous. And as

914
00:45:10,320 --> 00:45:12,400
Speaker 1: soon as I saw it, I said, um boys, they

915
00:45:12,480 --> 00:45:14,640
Speaker 1: sayers are gonna eat that one up. He just and

916
00:45:14,760 --> 00:45:17,879
Speaker 1: he did. He threw it, he squared He just kind

917
00:45:17,880 --> 00:45:20,080
Speaker 1: of threw it going backwards. He tried to square up

918
00:45:20,080 --> 00:45:22,040
Speaker 1: on it, and he just sailed it right over the

919
00:45:22,040 --> 00:45:24,880
Speaker 1: top of his head. And and I on the broadcast,

920
00:45:24,880 --> 00:45:26,959
Speaker 1: I was murmured, said that was as bad at throws

921
00:45:26,960 --> 00:45:30,359
Speaker 1: I've seen him making three years. And it probably was

922
00:45:30,560 --> 00:45:34,840
Speaker 1: because he just nonchalanted it and kind of tried to

923
00:45:34,880 --> 00:45:37,960
Speaker 1: get it off real quick and just did not just

924
00:45:38,080 --> 00:45:40,640
Speaker 1: lost focus but Eric, to take it a step further,

925
00:45:40,880 --> 00:45:42,960
Speaker 1: you look at the longest place from scrimmage for the

926
00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:45,600
Speaker 1: Bills yesterday and it was twenty nine, twenty eight, and

927
00:45:45,680 --> 00:45:49,239
Speaker 1: twenty six yards. Those are the three longest plays. It

928
00:45:49,280 --> 00:45:52,000
Speaker 1: looked like there was a concerted effort to stick to

929
00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:54,719
Speaker 1: the short to intermediate game. Quick throws, ball out of

930
00:45:54,800 --> 00:45:59,160
Speaker 1: Josh's hand, fast, high percentage plays, and you see the

931
00:45:59,160 --> 00:46:01,920
Speaker 1: proofs in the pudding. I mean seventy one percent completion.

932
00:46:02,400 --> 00:46:04,360
Speaker 1: I mean it was highest number of completions in a

933
00:46:04,400 --> 00:46:05,640
Speaker 1: game in his career, and I think it was his

934
00:46:05,760 --> 00:46:10,000
Speaker 1: highest completion percentage in a game in his career. Yeah,

935
00:46:10,040 --> 00:46:12,720
Speaker 1: you know, you could pick on the few bad throws

936
00:46:12,719 --> 00:46:16,200
Speaker 1: he made and ignore, but how can you ignore so

937
00:46:16,239 --> 00:46:19,120
Speaker 1: many good throws that he made? And I found it

938
00:46:19,160 --> 00:46:22,640
Speaker 1: funny the Twitter Warriors that came out that we're only

939
00:46:22,680 --> 00:46:25,120
Speaker 1: watching the red zone channel. That just saw a couple

940
00:46:25,120 --> 00:46:27,080
Speaker 1: of clips and on one of them, I'm sure was

941
00:46:27,160 --> 00:46:29,200
Speaker 1: the bad pass to John Brown in the end zone.

942
00:46:29,440 --> 00:46:31,640
Speaker 1: And so you could create this narrative if you want

943
00:46:31,640 --> 00:46:34,640
Speaker 1: that you still have an athlete quarterback that only threw

944
00:46:34,719 --> 00:46:38,120
Speaker 1: for over three hundred because it was a depleted jet

945
00:46:38,160 --> 00:46:41,279
Speaker 1: secondary whatever you want. Josh Allen looked great yesterday. In

946
00:46:41,320 --> 00:46:43,520
Speaker 1: my opinion, I thought he threw the belt of all

947
00:46:43,640 --> 00:46:46,279
Speaker 1: extremely well. I thought he made great decisions. You know

948
00:46:46,320 --> 00:46:48,120
Speaker 1: that ball to Cole Beasley, do you want to keep

949
00:46:48,200 --> 00:46:52,439
Speaker 1: him running and stride? Yes? But also by putting it lower, well,

950
00:46:52,440 --> 00:46:54,440
Speaker 1: he had he had to maneuver a linebacker to throw

951
00:46:54,480 --> 00:46:57,319
Speaker 1: it over his head. And by keeping it lower, yes,

952
00:46:57,440 --> 00:46:59,719
Speaker 1: he can't take off running. It also makes it a

953
00:46:59,800 --> 00:47:03,360
Speaker 1: very high percentage that it cannot be intercepted when you

954
00:47:03,400 --> 00:47:05,839
Speaker 1: throw those balls high across the middle, if they get

955
00:47:05,840 --> 00:47:07,279
Speaker 1: tipped up in the air and now you have two

956
00:47:07,280 --> 00:47:09,719
Speaker 1: safeties behind them that that could come and make a

957
00:47:09,760 --> 00:47:12,839
Speaker 1: play on that ball. I'm not I'm not saying that's

958
00:47:12,880 --> 00:47:15,680
Speaker 1: exactly what happened, just as I see it. You know,

959
00:47:15,800 --> 00:47:18,600
Speaker 1: I don't know that that that's a complete miscue or

960
00:47:18,600 --> 00:47:22,640
Speaker 1: misfire by him on that throw. But yeah, uh is

961
00:47:22,680 --> 00:47:24,160
Speaker 1: the one? You know, are they gonna have fun with

962
00:47:24,200 --> 00:47:26,800
Speaker 1: that one? To John Brown today on film? Sure is

963
00:47:26,920 --> 00:47:29,960
Speaker 1: Dawson Knox. Uh? Did they probably crack up about that

964
00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:32,239
Speaker 1: one too? Because you can have fun in a very

965
00:47:32,320 --> 00:47:35,040
Speaker 1: easy ten point win where you know they're simply running

966
00:47:35,080 --> 00:47:38,080
Speaker 1: out the clock. And talking about running out the clock

967
00:47:38,160 --> 00:47:42,040
Speaker 1: before I'm let go on my hour. I thought their

968
00:47:42,120 --> 00:47:45,560
Speaker 1: their last real drive was absolutely phenomenal. What they eat

969
00:47:45,680 --> 00:47:49,120
Speaker 1: up like six minutes a clock on the field. And

970
00:47:49,160 --> 00:47:51,440
Speaker 1: it wasn't all runs. Obviously, they weren't running the ball

971
00:47:51,440 --> 00:47:55,640
Speaker 1: super effectively yesterday it was just completion after completion. Had

972
00:47:55,680 --> 00:47:58,560
Speaker 1: had the one play to Stefon Diggs down the sideline

973
00:47:58,560 --> 00:48:01,279
Speaker 1: in the over route. But I thought that was just

974
00:48:01,320 --> 00:48:04,799
Speaker 1: an absolutely incredible drive to milk it completely out. They

975
00:48:04,840 --> 00:48:07,120
Speaker 1: showed nothing. As Steve I was listening to you on

976
00:48:07,120 --> 00:48:09,720
Speaker 1: the broadcast, I enjoyed your assessment of the goal on plays.

977
00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:13,080
Speaker 1: Don't show them anything at this point, you know, just

978
00:48:13,440 --> 00:48:16,839
Speaker 1: they literally ran the same handoff two maybe three times

979
00:48:16,840 --> 00:48:19,479
Speaker 1: in a row. Three time any of your three times

980
00:48:19,480 --> 00:48:21,480
Speaker 1: in a row. Don't give up any of your goal

981
00:48:21,520 --> 00:48:23,759
Speaker 1: on play your goal on plays? Yes, would you have

982
00:48:23,800 --> 00:48:25,919
Speaker 1: loved to run it in there? Yeah? Do you want

983
00:48:25,920 --> 00:48:29,399
Speaker 1: to score? Absolutely? You know they're competitors, but you run

984
00:48:29,440 --> 00:48:31,400
Speaker 1: all that time out and then you give Tyler Bassett

985
00:48:31,480 --> 00:48:34,120
Speaker 1: chip in field goal. Yeah. And Eric you mentioned Twitter

986
00:48:34,239 --> 00:48:36,160
Speaker 1: and before you go, we want to leave with this

987
00:48:36,239 --> 00:48:38,920
Speaker 1: because Eric had a tweet that got all blow up

988
00:48:38,960 --> 00:48:42,120
Speaker 1: in terms of a response about Tom Brady being down

989
00:48:42,160 --> 00:48:45,800
Speaker 1: in Tampa and losing to the Saints in Week one,

990
00:48:46,200 --> 00:48:49,759
Speaker 1: and Eric kind of wanted tom Brady to do well

991
00:48:49,840 --> 00:48:52,080
Speaker 1: in Tampa right out of the gate, to kind of

992
00:48:52,160 --> 00:48:55,279
Speaker 1: prove to everybody how difficult it was to win in

993
00:48:55,320 --> 00:48:58,480
Speaker 1: the AFC East when he was here. And I'm sure

994
00:48:58,480 --> 00:49:01,000
Speaker 1: you read some of the responses, Eric, nobody was agreeing.

995
00:49:01,080 --> 00:49:04,919
Speaker 1: The large majority of people were not agreeing with you. Yeah,

996
00:49:05,000 --> 00:49:08,440
Speaker 1: And I've kind of posted that half facetiously trying to

997
00:49:08,480 --> 00:49:11,960
Speaker 1: stir up some some Twitter emotions and mission accomplished. I'm

998
00:49:11,960 --> 00:49:15,200
Speaker 1: still getting responses from him. It's hilarious. Uh, you know,

999
00:49:15,239 --> 00:49:19,759
Speaker 1: it just shows the true passion of Bills fans with

1000
00:49:19,800 --> 00:49:22,319
Speaker 1: all the responses that I got. I mean I even

1001
00:49:22,400 --> 00:49:25,200
Speaker 1: got Andre Reid chiming in of course not. Of course,

1002
00:49:25,239 --> 00:49:28,399
Speaker 1: you can't reform down in Tampa. So I really got

1003
00:49:28,400 --> 00:49:30,760
Speaker 1: to kick out of those responses. All right, Eric, listen,

1004
00:49:30,840 --> 00:49:33,200
Speaker 1: thanks for spending the hour with us here. We look

1005
00:49:33,200 --> 00:49:36,120
Speaker 1: forward to doing this again with you next week. So

1006
00:49:36,520 --> 00:49:39,239
Speaker 1: get ready for the Bills Dolphins anything real quick? You

1007
00:49:39,280 --> 00:49:43,560
Speaker 1: have initial thoughts about Bill's Dolphins on Sunday, Well, you

1008
00:49:43,560 --> 00:49:47,120
Speaker 1: get my former head coach as the offensive coordinator. Chan

1009
00:49:47,200 --> 00:49:50,280
Speaker 1: Gailey's coming back to town. Ryan Fitzpatrick likely the starter

1010
00:49:50,880 --> 00:49:53,959
Speaker 1: this week, coming back to town. Always fun to watch

1011
00:49:54,000 --> 00:49:57,799
Speaker 1: my boy fits he play. You know, the Dolphins are

1012
00:49:58,120 --> 00:49:59,919
Speaker 1: they need to make some strines this year or else,

1013
00:50:00,360 --> 00:50:02,719
Speaker 1: Brian Floors and his staff, they won't be there to

1014
00:50:02,719 --> 00:50:05,560
Speaker 1: see the fruits of you know, essentially getting rid of

1015
00:50:05,600 --> 00:50:08,839
Speaker 1: everybody last year to either try and get to or

1016
00:50:09,120 --> 00:50:11,399
Speaker 1: you know, Joe Burrow or whoever they were trying to get.

1017
00:50:11,920 --> 00:50:13,239
Speaker 1: They're not going to see the fruits of that. So

1018
00:50:13,280 --> 00:50:15,040
Speaker 1: they want to have a good year this year. And

1019
00:50:15,760 --> 00:50:19,040
Speaker 1: you know, dropping to and two, the statistics go nuts

1020
00:50:19,040 --> 00:50:22,360
Speaker 1: as far as making the playoffs in these NFL players

1021
00:50:22,440 --> 00:50:24,319
Speaker 1: understand that they're going to come out fighting this week

1022
00:50:24,360 --> 00:50:27,200
Speaker 1: in or sorry, in Miami and hard Rock Stadium. Yeah,

1023
00:50:27,239 --> 00:50:29,080
Speaker 1: I think we're gonna see some ten personnel from the

1024
00:50:29,120 --> 00:50:31,279
Speaker 1: Dolphins this week. They go four wide if they do

1025
00:50:31,320 --> 00:50:33,279
Speaker 1: anything like they did here in Buffalo and it was C. J.

1026
00:50:33,400 --> 00:50:36,000
Speaker 1: Spiller in the backfield and four receivers spread all over

1027
00:50:36,040 --> 00:50:38,319
Speaker 1: the field. Eric, thanks very much. We'll catch up with

1028
00:50:38,320 --> 00:50:41,319
Speaker 1: you soon. Yeah, thank you guys. All right, that's Eric

1029
00:50:41,320 --> 00:50:43,040
Speaker 1: Wood joining us here for the first hour of a

1030
00:50:43,120 --> 00:50:45,520
Speaker 1: Bill's victory Monday. We have to take a break, but

1031
00:50:45,640 --> 00:50:48,680
Speaker 1: when we come back, we will hear from some of

1032
00:50:48,680 --> 00:50:52,240
Speaker 1: the players in the victory yesterday, Josh Allen's Deefon Diggs,

1033
00:50:52,239 --> 00:50:55,280
Speaker 1: Mitch Morse, and even coach McDermott as we go around

1034
00:50:55,360 --> 00:50:57,480
Speaker 1: the locker room. When we come back here on One

1035
00:50:57,480 --> 00:51:00,839
Speaker 1: Bill's Live presented by Kalida Health, this is Buffalo Bills

1036
00:51:00,960 --> 00:51:17,040
Speaker 1: Radiofalo Bills Radio Network Sports Update their sports update from

1037
00:51:17,080 --> 00:51:19,200
Speaker 1: One Bill's Drive. The Bills kick off the twenty twenty

1038
00:51:19,239 --> 00:51:21,799
Speaker 1: season where the twenty seven seventeen win over the Jets.

1039
00:51:21,920 --> 00:51:24,399
Speaker 1: Josh Allen impresses in the wind, throwing for over three

1040
00:51:24,480 --> 00:51:26,840
Speaker 1: hundred yards for the first time in his career. The

1041
00:51:26,920 --> 00:51:29,600
Speaker 1: win did, however, come with some injuries on the defensive

1042
00:51:29,600 --> 00:51:32,520
Speaker 1: side of the ball, both linebackers Matt Milano when Tremaine

1043
00:51:32,560 --> 00:51:35,520
Speaker 1: Edmonds left the game and did not return. Milano sustained

1044
00:51:35,560 --> 00:51:39,160
Speaker 1: a hamstring injury while Edmonds suffered a shoulder injury. We

1045
00:51:39,520 --> 00:51:42,680
Speaker 1: should get an update when head coach Sean McDermott speaks

1046
00:51:42,680 --> 00:51:45,640
Speaker 1: to the media later this afternoon. New York Jets coach

1047
00:51:45,680 --> 00:51:48,680
Speaker 1: Adam Gaze, who was involved in an injury dispute with

1048
00:51:48,760 --> 00:51:52,440
Speaker 1: lebon Bell in training camp. Openly second guest himself after

1049
00:51:52,480 --> 00:51:54,680
Speaker 1: the game Sunday for leaving the running back in the

1050
00:51:54,680 --> 00:51:57,719
Speaker 1: game after he injured his hamstring. Quote, I'm mad at

1051
00:51:57,719 --> 00:51:59,360
Speaker 1: myself that I let him go back in there in

1052
00:51:59,400 --> 00:52:02,399
Speaker 1: the second half, Gay said after the Jets ten point

1053
00:52:02,480 --> 00:52:05,960
Speaker 1: loss on Sunday to the Bills. Around the AFC East,

1054
00:52:06,000 --> 00:52:08,759
Speaker 1: the Cam Newton era in New England officially under way,

1055
00:52:08,800 --> 00:52:11,080
Speaker 1: as his two rushing touchdowns led them to a twenty

1056
00:52:11,120 --> 00:52:14,960
Speaker 1: one eleven win over the Dolphins. Ryan Fitzpatrick had three

1057
00:52:15,000 --> 00:52:18,640
Speaker 1: interceptions in the game. It will bear watching this week

1058
00:52:18,880 --> 00:52:20,960
Speaker 1: to see where the Dolphins go at quarterback when they

1059
00:52:20,960 --> 00:52:23,840
Speaker 1: host the Bills next Sunday. The Tom Brady era and

1060
00:52:23,840 --> 00:52:27,040
Speaker 1: Tampa didn't go as expected. Brady through two picks, including

1061
00:52:27,040 --> 00:52:29,600
Speaker 1: a pick six to Genoras Jenkins as the Saints dropped

1062
00:52:29,600 --> 00:52:32,320
Speaker 1: the Bucks thirty four to twenty three. Brady now fourteen

1063
00:52:32,320 --> 00:52:34,720
Speaker 1: and four in season openers, one of those four losses,

1064
00:52:34,960 --> 00:52:37,280
Speaker 1: of course, coming to the Bills in their two thousand

1065
00:52:37,280 --> 00:52:40,280
Speaker 1: and three thirty one nothing shutout win. Hear an Orchard Park.

1066
00:52:40,640 --> 00:52:43,000
Speaker 1: Having traveled the long road of recovery from a twenty

1067
00:52:43,080 --> 00:52:47,240
Speaker 1: nineteen season ending neck injury. Dallas Cowboys linebacker Layton vander

1068
00:52:47,360 --> 00:52:50,360
Speaker 1: Esh found more bad fortune on Sunday Night. He suffered

1069
00:52:50,360 --> 00:52:53,280
Speaker 1: a broken collar bone and is headed to injured reserve

1070
00:52:53,320 --> 00:52:56,520
Speaker 1: after suffering the injury in the first half of Dallas's

1071
00:52:56,560 --> 00:52:58,960
Speaker 1: Sunday Night loss to the Rams. Vander Esh should be

1072
00:52:58,960 --> 00:53:01,600
Speaker 1: back this season, but it's a blow for that Cowboys

1073
00:53:01,880 --> 00:53:04,400
Speaker 1: front seven. Finally, on the ice, the Stars can advance

1074
00:53:04,440 --> 00:53:06,560
Speaker 1: to the Stanley Cup Finals with a win tonight over

1075
00:53:06,560 --> 00:53:09,480
Speaker 1: the Golden Nights. Dallas currently leads that series three games

1076
00:53:09,520 --> 00:53:13,200
Speaker 1: to one. Face off tonight at eight o'clock. That is

1077
00:53:13,200 --> 00:53:15,879
Speaker 1: your sports update here from One Bill's Drive. Chris Brown

1078
00:53:15,920 --> 00:53:18,120
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker with you our number two of The Bill's

1079
00:53:18,200 --> 00:53:21,440
Speaker 1: Victory Monday program here as we're broadcasting live from the

1080
00:53:21,480 --> 00:53:25,120
Speaker 1: Seneca Studios in Orchard Park, and it's time now to

1081
00:53:25,200 --> 00:53:28,240
Speaker 1: go around the locker room, presented by Collect Connect Life,

1082
00:53:28,560 --> 00:53:32,919
Speaker 1: Your Blood and Organ Donor Network, and we begin with

1083
00:53:33,040 --> 00:53:37,480
Speaker 1: one Josh Allen, who commented on the team's offensive production

1084
00:53:37,560 --> 00:53:42,200
Speaker 1: Sunday against the Jets. Yeah, I mean, I think our

1085
00:53:42,360 --> 00:53:45,759
Speaker 1: our first five drives with didn't hunts, but opportunities to

1086
00:53:45,800 --> 00:53:48,880
Speaker 1: score and Uh. You know those two two turnovers by me,

1087
00:53:48,960 --> 00:53:51,479
Speaker 1: I can't can't have those, um, But we are moving

1088
00:53:51,480 --> 00:53:54,040
Speaker 1: the ball how we wanted to. Our guys were getting open.

1089
00:53:54,600 --> 00:53:56,920
Speaker 1: We understood, you know, we understand the guys that we

1090
00:53:57,000 --> 00:54:00,239
Speaker 1: have are tougher defenses to cover, you know, for for

1091
00:54:00,239 --> 00:54:01,759
Speaker 1: a long period of time and when I'm able to

1092
00:54:01,840 --> 00:54:04,160
Speaker 1: escape the pocket. And our guys did a great job

1093
00:54:04,200 --> 00:54:06,880
Speaker 1: today of scramble rules and getting open and making some

1094
00:54:06,960 --> 00:54:09,440
Speaker 1: plays in the end zone. You saw Zach Moss, a rookie,

1095
00:54:09,719 --> 00:54:12,160
Speaker 1: find find the lane and I was unfortunate to put

1096
00:54:12,160 --> 00:54:13,799
Speaker 1: it on him. He made the catch, and it's what

1097
00:54:13,880 --> 00:54:15,560
Speaker 1: you'd love to see, you know, those live reps that

1098
00:54:15,600 --> 00:54:18,120
Speaker 1: you don't really get in practice. But um, you know,

1099
00:54:18,200 --> 00:54:19,920
Speaker 1: when when you when in the game, you have good

1100
00:54:19,960 --> 00:54:23,960
Speaker 1: communication like we have, UM, like we've had. Uh, that's

1101
00:54:24,000 --> 00:54:27,840
Speaker 1: the results. You're gonna see. Pretty impressive performance by the

1102
00:54:27,880 --> 00:54:30,480
Speaker 1: receivers along with Josh when it came to making plays

1103
00:54:31,080 --> 00:54:34,760
Speaker 1: off script, Steve. Yeah, and it's when you're going off script,

1104
00:54:34,800 --> 00:54:37,480
Speaker 1: everybody's got to have the same field and that's when

1105
00:54:37,600 --> 00:54:39,440
Speaker 1: you know, one of the reasons continuity is such a

1106
00:54:39,480 --> 00:54:42,960
Speaker 1: big thing when when you've done it so many times before,

1107
00:54:43,000 --> 00:54:45,960
Speaker 1: and you talk about what happens when Josh does go

1108
00:54:46,120 --> 00:54:49,400
Speaker 1: right or Josh does go left, what he's thinking, what

1109
00:54:49,520 --> 00:54:51,439
Speaker 1: is gonna make him tuck the ball and run, what's

1110
00:54:51,480 --> 00:54:53,960
Speaker 1: gonna make him look for more receivers, and understanding what

1111
00:54:54,000 --> 00:54:56,720
Speaker 1: he wants when those when he does look down field.

1112
00:54:56,760 --> 00:54:58,400
Speaker 1: All of that stuff is in the mix when the

1113
00:54:58,480 --> 00:55:02,960
Speaker 1: play breaks down. And if everybody knows all of those things,

1114
00:55:03,320 --> 00:55:06,240
Speaker 1: they all still work together even though nothing's rehearsed. Josh

1115
00:55:06,360 --> 00:55:09,080
Speaker 1: commented on that very receiver group after seeing them in

1116
00:55:09,160 --> 00:55:11,360
Speaker 1: action with real bullets flying. Here's what he had to

1117
00:55:11,360 --> 00:55:16,040
Speaker 1: say about his receiving corps. Well, one, they're extremely smart

1118
00:55:16,080 --> 00:55:19,279
Speaker 1: football players. Um, they know how to get open um.

1119
00:55:19,960 --> 00:55:22,399
Speaker 1: They're just fun to play with. They communicate, they talk,

1120
00:55:22,840 --> 00:55:24,560
Speaker 1: and the things that they can do, you know, uh

1121
00:55:24,800 --> 00:55:26,279
Speaker 1: not a lot of guys in this league can can

1122
00:55:26,280 --> 00:55:28,759
Speaker 1: do what they can do. They're can constantly getting open um.

1123
00:55:28,800 --> 00:55:30,879
Speaker 1: They're making plays. You know, you saw some run after

1124
00:55:30,880 --> 00:55:34,080
Speaker 1: the catch today. I threw stuff one ball at two yards.

1125
00:55:34,080 --> 00:55:35,680
Speaker 1: You meet two guys miss and end up getting eight

1126
00:55:35,760 --> 00:55:37,319
Speaker 1: or nine. And that's what you'd love to see, you know,

1127
00:55:37,520 --> 00:55:40,560
Speaker 1: with your your one and two receivers and Um, and

1128
00:55:40,800 --> 00:55:42,400
Speaker 1: I really wouldn't say we got one in the two.

1129
00:55:42,440 --> 00:55:44,040
Speaker 1: I think we got two ones. You know. John Brown

1130
00:55:44,120 --> 00:55:47,080
Speaker 1: consistently played well last year. Um, you know, and I

1131
00:55:47,120 --> 00:55:49,000
Speaker 1: don't expect anything less this year. You saw what he

1132
00:55:49,000 --> 00:55:51,279
Speaker 1: did today and then uh, you know if they're down

1133
00:55:51,440 --> 00:55:54,279
Speaker 1: and opportunities for Cole, you know, making making guys miss

1134
00:55:54,320 --> 00:55:56,239
Speaker 1: when he's got a good matchup. So it's something that

1135
00:55:56,239 --> 00:55:58,520
Speaker 1: we're obviously we're still gonna work on and I expect

1136
00:55:58,560 --> 00:56:03,160
Speaker 1: things they continue to get better. Bee communication ay, and

1137
00:56:03,200 --> 00:56:07,640
Speaker 1: I'm supercided somebody was not muted there on that zoom call.

1138
00:56:08,320 --> 00:56:10,520
Speaker 1: There was a lot going on in the press box

1139
00:56:10,760 --> 00:56:13,040
Speaker 1: with all the media, and somebody didn't get muted after

1140
00:56:13,080 --> 00:56:15,040
Speaker 1: their question, which made it kind of hard to hear

1141
00:56:15,120 --> 00:56:18,040
Speaker 1: Josh there at the end. But it's clear that he

1142
00:56:18,160 --> 00:56:20,680
Speaker 1: is as giddy as he's ever been about the weapons

1143
00:56:20,719 --> 00:56:23,920
Speaker 1: he has at his disposal. Now. Well, it's it's it's

1144
00:56:23,960 --> 00:56:25,719
Speaker 1: tough not to be excited as a player when you

1145
00:56:25,760 --> 00:56:28,279
Speaker 1: have a game like that yesterday. Certainly you go into

1146
00:56:28,280 --> 00:56:30,920
Speaker 1: the game and I'm I did that, everybody did this.

1147
00:56:31,560 --> 00:56:34,720
Speaker 1: I did not expect the Jets to fall over. Um.

1148
00:56:34,760 --> 00:56:37,040
Speaker 1: I thought they would be a good football. They're an

1149
00:56:37,120 --> 00:56:38,560
Speaker 1: NFL team, and they're gonna play a lot of games.

1150
00:56:38,560 --> 00:56:40,160
Speaker 1: They're gonna win a couple of I don't know how

1151
00:56:40,200 --> 00:56:41,640
Speaker 1: many games are gonna they're gonna win some games and

1152
00:56:42,040 --> 00:56:44,879
Speaker 1: before they're not gonna go over. They're not gonna be good.

1153
00:56:45,520 --> 00:56:47,319
Speaker 1: They're not gonna be good. But you didn't you don't

1154
00:56:47,360 --> 00:56:50,480
Speaker 1: know what to expect um, So you go in there thinking,

1155
00:56:50,600 --> 00:56:52,399
Speaker 1: you know, we're gonna have to play well, and they did.

1156
00:56:52,400 --> 00:56:55,279
Speaker 1: They played well. They didn't play their best and they won.

1157
00:56:55,760 --> 00:56:57,680
Speaker 1: And that says a lot about maybe where their top

1158
00:56:57,800 --> 00:56:59,880
Speaker 1: end is. It works out, really when you're looking for

1159
00:57:00,080 --> 00:57:02,560
Speaker 1: things to motivate you, the players will always motivate, be

1160
00:57:02,600 --> 00:57:04,600
Speaker 1: motivated by what they haven't done well and what they

1161
00:57:04,600 --> 00:57:07,200
Speaker 1: need to work on. Certainly plenty of it to go

1162
00:57:07,280 --> 00:57:13,200
Speaker 1: around in this game. But as a group, they completely

1163
00:57:13,280 --> 00:57:16,240
Speaker 1: dominated this particularly that first half. It was not even.

1164
00:57:16,560 --> 00:57:18,240
Speaker 1: It was a clinic. It was not even. I mean,

1165
00:57:18,320 --> 00:57:21,200
Speaker 1: Josh Allen was sixteen of his first twenty. Like I said,

1166
00:57:21,200 --> 00:57:23,280
Speaker 1: I tweeted it yesterday when it was happening. It was

1167
00:57:23,320 --> 00:57:26,000
Speaker 1: pitch and catch. I mean it was way too easy.

1168
00:57:26,240 --> 00:57:29,000
Speaker 1: I mean, guys were I mean, yes, as Josh mentioned

1169
00:57:29,360 --> 00:57:31,439
Speaker 1: there were some instances where he would throw a short

1170
00:57:31,480 --> 00:57:33,920
Speaker 1: pass and then that receiver would make somebody miss and

1171
00:57:33,960 --> 00:57:36,160
Speaker 1: then get you know, seven eight yards after the catch,

1172
00:57:36,640 --> 00:57:39,080
Speaker 1: move the sticks fresh set of downs. But there were

1173
00:57:39,120 --> 00:57:43,080
Speaker 1: also times where guys were running completely wide open with

1174
00:57:43,120 --> 00:57:45,680
Speaker 1: nobody near him. I mean, you had photographers in row

1175
00:57:45,760 --> 00:57:47,840
Speaker 1: one that were closer to some of the Bills receivers

1176
00:57:47,960 --> 00:57:49,800
Speaker 1: than any of the defenders that the Jets were putting

1177
00:57:49,840 --> 00:57:52,600
Speaker 1: out on the field. It was unbelievable. And I was

1178
00:57:52,640 --> 00:57:55,400
Speaker 1: looking at some of the tweets that the Jets reporters

1179
00:57:55,400 --> 00:57:57,600
Speaker 1: were making back in New York and New Jersey or

1180
00:57:57,600 --> 00:58:00,720
Speaker 1: wherever they were, and they're like, this is ugly with

1181
00:58:00,760 --> 00:58:03,920
Speaker 1: a capital you. I mean, it was bad. I mean

1182
00:58:03,960 --> 00:58:08,680
Speaker 1: the Jets just they just looked flat, not in sync

1183
00:58:08,760 --> 00:58:12,120
Speaker 1: at all. And then they suffered injuries at linebacker, where

1184
00:58:12,120 --> 00:58:15,400
Speaker 1: they already had two injuries. You had Patrick Oasso, who

1185
00:58:15,440 --> 00:58:17,640
Speaker 1: was put on IR before week one. Then you had

1186
00:58:17,680 --> 00:58:20,320
Speaker 1: Avery Williamson declared out on Friday. You were down to

1187
00:58:20,440 --> 00:58:24,200
Speaker 1: Neville Hewitt and the other guy whose name is gonna

1188
00:58:24,280 --> 00:58:25,840
Speaker 1: escape me, and he had to leave the game with

1189
00:58:25,880 --> 00:58:28,600
Speaker 1: an injury, Blake Cashman early in the game, and they

1190
00:58:28,600 --> 00:58:30,880
Speaker 1: had to put Harvey Langey in. I was a last

1191
00:58:30,960 --> 00:58:35,240
Speaker 1: inside linebacker they had on the bench. Anybody else left.

1192
00:58:35,280 --> 00:58:37,400
Speaker 1: Two inside linebackers helped at the end of the game.

1193
00:58:37,440 --> 00:58:39,960
Speaker 1: We haven't talked about that enough. I mean around the league,

1194
00:58:39,960 --> 00:58:43,800
Speaker 1: and I mean I watched football all day yesterday. I

1195
00:58:43,880 --> 00:58:46,840
Speaker 1: watched I watched the entire Dallas game last night. I'm

1196
00:58:46,880 --> 00:58:51,240
Speaker 1: paying the price today, but hanging a little bit. Injuries,

1197
00:58:51,360 --> 00:58:54,680
Speaker 1: soft tissue injuries are rampant. Everybody's got them. They're all

1198
00:58:54,760 --> 00:58:58,560
Speaker 1: nagging hammies there with no preseason Steve, it's the ramp

1199
00:58:58,640 --> 00:59:02,360
Speaker 1: up is too extreme from training camp practice to games. Right,

1200
00:59:02,400 --> 00:59:05,000
Speaker 1: they suspected this might happen. It happened in twenty eleven.

1201
00:59:05,000 --> 00:59:06,960
Speaker 1: In the lockout. Everybody said, well, but he thought the

1202
00:59:07,040 --> 00:59:09,360
Speaker 1: ramp up would do. It didn't work. I mean it

1203
00:59:09,440 --> 00:59:13,120
Speaker 1: didn't work. There's there's hamstrings all over the league, and

1204
00:59:13,240 --> 00:59:16,120
Speaker 1: the Bills are no exception, and the Jets are no exception.

1205
00:59:17,440 --> 00:59:22,440
Speaker 1: Everybody's got some issues with soft tissue, so that, right,

1206
00:59:22,520 --> 00:59:27,680
Speaker 1: well does I'm brilliant. Sometimes that's that's gonna be something

1207
00:59:27,680 --> 00:59:30,280
Speaker 1: to watch going forward. I don't know what the sports

1208
00:59:30,280 --> 00:59:32,720
Speaker 1: science people are gonna have to do about it now.

1209
00:59:32,720 --> 00:59:34,080
Speaker 1: The Bills had a little bit of run of this

1210
00:59:34,160 --> 00:59:36,320
Speaker 1: last year. You know, Devin Singletary had it happened to

1211
00:59:36,440 --> 00:59:39,240
Speaker 1: him earlier. There was and there was maybe one or

1212
00:59:39,240 --> 00:59:41,280
Speaker 1: two other guys that had this happened to him last

1213
00:59:41,320 --> 00:59:45,480
Speaker 1: year missed a game, right, and so he's got a

1214
00:59:45,520 --> 00:59:49,400
Speaker 1: little bit of a history with it. But it's something

1215
00:59:49,480 --> 00:59:52,320
Speaker 1: they go through every year when the when the intensity

1216
00:59:52,400 --> 00:59:55,680
Speaker 1: goes all the way up and the regular season starts,

1217
00:59:55,960 --> 00:59:58,520
Speaker 1: you're turning it up to eleven. Yeah, I mean, guys, guys,

1218
00:59:59,400 --> 01:00:02,080
Speaker 1: you can't be ready for it physically. It's about hydration,

1219
01:00:02,080 --> 01:00:04,600
Speaker 1: it's about warming upright, It's about being ready for it,

1220
01:00:04,880 --> 01:00:07,680
Speaker 1: and it's not something you can feel beforehand. And it's

1221
01:00:07,720 --> 01:00:11,320
Speaker 1: also about playing relatively close to that regular season level

1222
01:00:11,680 --> 01:00:13,880
Speaker 1: for four preseason games. Even if you're just getting a

1223
01:00:13,880 --> 01:00:17,600
Speaker 1: few series, you're just conditioning your body to the speed

1224
01:00:17,640 --> 01:00:20,200
Speaker 1: and intensity that's gonna be required of you in the

1225
01:00:20,240 --> 01:00:23,120
Speaker 1: regular season. It's not the same in a preseason game,

1226
01:00:23,360 --> 01:00:25,960
Speaker 1: but a preseason game is dialed up higher than anything

1227
01:00:26,000 --> 01:00:28,400
Speaker 1: you can replicate in a camp setting. Right. Thinking back

1228
01:00:28,400 --> 01:00:31,160
Speaker 1: to my mindset, and I think what it does is this, Certainly,

1229
01:00:31,920 --> 01:00:34,840
Speaker 1: you go hard in a preseason game. And what it

1230
01:00:34,920 --> 01:00:37,400
Speaker 1: does is and I'm I'm I'm going back, you know,

1231
01:00:37,440 --> 01:00:39,760
Speaker 1: a couple of decades now, and I can and I

1232
01:00:39,800 --> 01:00:42,560
Speaker 1: kind of get my mind around it. It's the first

1233
01:00:42,600 --> 01:00:44,600
Speaker 1: time you think, okay, wait a minute, now, if this

1234
01:00:44,640 --> 01:00:46,000
Speaker 1: is gonna be the way it is. You kind of

1235
01:00:46,000 --> 01:00:47,560
Speaker 1: remind yourself every year if this way it would be

1236
01:00:47,560 --> 01:00:49,760
Speaker 1: the way it is. I gotta I gotta get rusty,

1237
01:00:49,880 --> 01:00:53,240
Speaker 1: or I gotta get stretched better to begin the game with.

1238
01:00:53,720 --> 01:00:57,760
Speaker 1: I got man, I gotta Yeah, this is I'm glad

1239
01:00:57,800 --> 01:01:00,360
Speaker 1: I'm not playing the whole half tonight, or I'm I'm

1240
01:01:00,360 --> 01:01:02,919
Speaker 1: not playing the whole game tonight because I really need

1241
01:01:02,920 --> 01:01:05,560
Speaker 1: to get it together. I can feel it, you know

1242
01:01:05,600 --> 01:01:07,440
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So you kind of do that in

1243
01:01:07,440 --> 01:01:09,919
Speaker 1: the preseason. That gives you a chance to mentally say,

1244
01:01:10,000 --> 01:01:13,520
Speaker 1: I gotta do something so that I don't blow my

1245
01:01:13,640 --> 01:01:16,880
Speaker 1: leg muscles out on the first time I cover a kick. Yeah,

1246
01:01:16,920 --> 01:01:20,280
Speaker 1: you know, a punt. Stefan Diggs set of mark in

1247
01:01:20,400 --> 01:01:23,480
Speaker 1: the opener yesterday with his highest reception total of his

1248
01:01:23,560 --> 01:01:26,720
Speaker 1: career and an opener with eight and he was targeted

1249
01:01:26,800 --> 01:01:29,560
Speaker 1: nine times. That's a hell of a catch percentage. And

1250
01:01:29,680 --> 01:01:32,919
Speaker 1: he talked about what he thought of Josh Allen seeing

1251
01:01:33,000 --> 01:01:34,600
Speaker 1: him up close and personal in a game for the

1252
01:01:34,640 --> 01:01:38,960
Speaker 1: first time. It's exciting. He's still out a little bit

1253
01:01:38,960 --> 01:01:40,560
Speaker 1: of kid in him, so when he's out there, he's

1254
01:01:40,560 --> 01:01:42,800
Speaker 1: out there having fun, and I enjoy it. You know.

1255
01:01:43,920 --> 01:01:45,960
Speaker 1: I'm always in his ear trying to like keep that

1256
01:01:46,000 --> 01:01:49,640
Speaker 1: positive energy going, just because I can't imagine hard is

1257
01:01:49,680 --> 01:01:52,120
Speaker 1: play quarterback. But when I see him out there having

1258
01:01:52,120 --> 01:01:53,960
Speaker 1: a good time, it gives me a little bit of

1259
01:01:54,440 --> 01:01:56,440
Speaker 1: pushing it back, a little bit motivation to say, you

1260
01:01:56,480 --> 01:01:57,760
Speaker 1: want to play for this guy. You want to go

1261
01:01:57,760 --> 01:01:59,920
Speaker 1: hard for this guy, because he's damns gonna offer you.

1262
01:02:01,360 --> 01:02:03,040
Speaker 1: He's gonna go hard for you. I don't think there's

1263
01:02:03,040 --> 01:02:08,200
Speaker 1: any question about that. Diggs also commented on John Brown,

1264
01:02:08,920 --> 01:02:12,680
Speaker 1: a guy who made a whole lot of plays on

1265
01:02:12,680 --> 01:02:15,720
Speaker 1: Sunday at the expense of Diggs to a certain extent,

1266
01:02:15,760 --> 01:02:18,840
Speaker 1: because Diggs was getting all the early attention, rolled coverage,

1267
01:02:18,880 --> 01:02:21,960
Speaker 1: whatever whatever the case might be, and so Josh very

1268
01:02:21,960 --> 01:02:24,640
Speaker 1: astuteley went to the guys that were open, which more

1269
01:02:24,680 --> 01:02:27,200
Speaker 1: often than not in the early going was John Brown.

1270
01:02:27,320 --> 01:02:30,320
Speaker 1: So here was Digg's take on John Brown's abilities as

1271
01:02:30,320 --> 01:02:34,520
Speaker 1: a receiver. I think, in my opinion, John Brown is

1272
01:02:34,520 --> 01:02:37,360
Speaker 1: one of the most underrated receives in the NFL. He

1273
01:02:37,400 --> 01:02:39,640
Speaker 1: don't appreciate it as well. He does a lot of

1274
01:02:39,640 --> 01:02:41,919
Speaker 1: things to string of weather. Plays on the outside, can't

1275
01:02:41,920 --> 01:02:46,200
Speaker 1: play on an inside. Yeah, it's great hands, great routes, mum,

1276
01:02:46,280 --> 01:02:48,720
Speaker 1: and it's just like it's it's it's fun to play

1277
01:02:48,760 --> 01:02:50,800
Speaker 1: with guys like that because you know, it's hard to double,

1278
01:02:50,840 --> 01:02:53,080
Speaker 1: it's hard to do all that and give his ability

1279
01:02:53,120 --> 01:02:55,520
Speaker 1: there for everybody to eat everybody who went on the outside,

1280
01:02:55,520 --> 01:02:57,040
Speaker 1: and we got some guys on the inside and play

1281
01:02:57,080 --> 01:03:00,120
Speaker 1: extremes as well. Dave Davis, young guy stepped out me

1282
01:03:00,200 --> 01:03:03,120
Speaker 1: a Articusa plays for us. He blocked you blocking as well.

1283
01:03:03,200 --> 01:03:06,120
Speaker 1: So he's doing a lot and having everybody come along.

1284
01:03:06,680 --> 01:03:09,040
Speaker 1: I was just saying, is go for offense. It's healthy

1285
01:03:09,080 --> 01:03:13,000
Speaker 1: for offense, and John Brown's the ball. Tell me, Steve,

1286
01:03:13,080 --> 01:03:14,720
Speaker 1: if this is the vibe you're getting, because this is

1287
01:03:14,760 --> 01:03:16,920
Speaker 1: the vibe I'm getting from Stefan Diggs. I think Stefan

1288
01:03:17,000 --> 01:03:19,760
Speaker 1: Diggs heard all this great stuff in camp kind of

1289
01:03:19,800 --> 01:03:23,360
Speaker 1: liked what he was seeing. Hearing the camaraderie of the roster.

1290
01:03:23,480 --> 01:03:26,919
Speaker 1: It all sounded and looked really good, but he wasn't

1291
01:03:26,960 --> 01:03:31,560
Speaker 1: sold yet. And now this game happens, He's getting doubled

1292
01:03:31,560 --> 01:03:34,919
Speaker 1: early and Josh is finding answers elsewhere on the field,

1293
01:03:34,960 --> 01:03:38,480
Speaker 1: and then he eventually comes back to Stefan. He finishes

1294
01:03:38,480 --> 01:03:42,160
Speaker 1: the game with eight receptions in a convincing victory. I

1295
01:03:42,200 --> 01:03:45,680
Speaker 1: think Stefan is sold. Yeah, And we noticed this from

1296
01:03:45,680 --> 01:03:47,280
Speaker 1: the or at least I noticed this from the radio

1297
01:03:47,320 --> 01:03:49,360
Speaker 1: booth yesterday when we were there at the stadium and

1298
01:03:49,400 --> 01:03:52,480
Speaker 1: watching it. The thing that there was no crowd, noise,

1299
01:03:53,280 --> 01:03:55,720
Speaker 1: none of that, and you could hear a lot more

1300
01:03:55,840 --> 01:03:58,320
Speaker 1: of what was going on, particularly the ambient mics that

1301
01:03:58,360 --> 01:04:00,160
Speaker 1: we always have on the broadcast of really your kind

1302
01:04:00,200 --> 01:04:02,080
Speaker 1: of drowned out most of the time by the crowd.

1303
01:04:03,280 --> 01:04:08,920
Speaker 1: The Bill's sideline was really enthusiastic. They were really upbeat

1304
01:04:08,960 --> 01:04:12,440
Speaker 1: and energetic. They were really encouraging to the guys on

1305
01:04:12,480 --> 01:04:17,480
Speaker 1: the field. They It was an atmosphere on the Bill's

1306
01:04:17,480 --> 01:04:21,160
Speaker 1: sideline that just oozed culture and camaraderie and team We're

1307
01:04:21,200 --> 01:04:23,280
Speaker 1: now certainly things were going their way and that helps

1308
01:04:23,320 --> 01:04:26,680
Speaker 1: with that, no question about it. But it wasn't manufactured.

1309
01:04:26,680 --> 01:04:30,200
Speaker 1: It was genuine and when the EBB and flow of

1310
01:04:30,240 --> 01:04:33,439
Speaker 1: the game. I think that energy in that camaraderie really

1311
01:04:33,440 --> 01:04:35,200
Speaker 1: carried these guys through. And I think for a lot

1312
01:04:35,280 --> 01:04:38,920
Speaker 1: of these new players it hasn't always It's not always

1313
01:04:38,960 --> 01:04:41,200
Speaker 1: that way at other places. Yeah, and I think the

1314
01:04:41,360 --> 01:04:43,720
Speaker 1: genuine nature of it is kind of striking to them

1315
01:04:44,520 --> 01:04:46,760
Speaker 1: and infectious at the state. It's for real. Yeah, No,

1316
01:04:46,920 --> 01:04:51,120
Speaker 1: it's genuine. It's unquestionably genuine. I think the other part

1317
01:04:51,160 --> 01:04:54,040
Speaker 1: of that, too is you better believe that Coach McDermott

1318
01:04:54,040 --> 01:04:56,560
Speaker 1: before that game said hey, we don't have any fans.

1319
01:04:57,280 --> 01:04:59,960
Speaker 1: We got to generate our own energy here for our team.

1320
01:05:00,240 --> 01:05:03,400
Speaker 1: So if you're on that sideline, we better hear you,

1321
01:05:03,400 --> 01:05:05,640
Speaker 1: you know, pump these guys up out there. You are

1322
01:05:05,680 --> 01:05:08,320
Speaker 1: the fans when you're not in the game today, essentially,

1323
01:05:08,360 --> 01:05:10,120
Speaker 1: that's what you are. I said it on the broadcast

1324
01:05:10,200 --> 01:05:12,320
Speaker 1: yesterday and I kind of mentioned it. Murphy is, I

1325
01:05:12,360 --> 01:05:14,280
Speaker 1: don't know, you might not want to do it, I said, listen,

1326
01:05:14,680 --> 01:05:17,560
Speaker 1: I go. They missed the fans. Those players missed it,

1327
01:05:17,800 --> 01:05:19,560
Speaker 1: were tweeting about it after the game. I wish they

1328
01:05:19,560 --> 01:05:21,640
Speaker 1: would have been there, the players would have. It was

1329
01:05:21,760 --> 01:05:26,200
Speaker 1: not the same, It wasn't as good obviously without the

1330
01:05:26,240 --> 01:05:29,080
Speaker 1: fans there. I said it on the I said it

1331
01:05:29,120 --> 01:05:33,560
Speaker 1: on the broadcast today. That team didn't need them, right,

1332
01:05:33,680 --> 01:05:36,120
Speaker 1: they didn't need them yesterday. Yeah, they were that much

1333
01:05:36,200 --> 01:05:40,320
Speaker 1: better yesterday. That first half was as a resounding as

1334
01:05:40,320 --> 01:05:43,760
Speaker 1: a defeat and in total control on both sides of

1335
01:05:43,800 --> 01:05:45,680
Speaker 1: the football as you'll ever have. You have just said

1336
01:05:45,680 --> 01:05:47,720
Speaker 1: if it happened in that stadium, and certainly the scoreboard

1337
01:05:47,720 --> 01:05:49,800
Speaker 1: didn't get out of hand real quick. But I'm telling

1338
01:05:49,800 --> 01:05:54,640
Speaker 1: you this, that team was in total control. And so

1339
01:05:55,440 --> 01:05:57,560
Speaker 1: the effect that the fans would have had, they would

1340
01:05:57,600 --> 01:05:59,360
Speaker 1: have been there to enjoy it, But I don't think

1341
01:05:59,400 --> 01:06:01,440
Speaker 1: they could have been answered in any way, shape or form.

1342
01:06:01,440 --> 01:06:04,800
Speaker 1: Mitch Morris has spoke glowingly of the strides that Josh

1343
01:06:04,800 --> 01:06:07,120
Speaker 1: Allen has made with his game leading up to the

1344
01:06:07,200 --> 01:06:10,920
Speaker 1: start of his third NFL season, and Josh made him

1345
01:06:10,960 --> 01:06:15,400
Speaker 1: look awfully good, set a career high for completions, completion percentage,

1346
01:06:15,560 --> 01:06:18,160
Speaker 1: and his first three hundred yard passing day through for

1347
01:06:18,200 --> 01:06:22,400
Speaker 1: two touchdowns. Ran for another. Mitch Morrise on Josh Allen's

1348
01:06:22,520 --> 01:06:27,000
Speaker 1: ultra productive day for out of Josh, I mean his

1349
01:06:27,080 --> 01:06:31,080
Speaker 1: composure after um, you know, making a mistake here there,

1350
01:06:32,520 --> 01:06:35,040
Speaker 1: It was great and it was it was, you know,

1351
01:06:35,040 --> 01:06:39,080
Speaker 1: a maturity at the utmost level and something that we

1352
01:06:39,240 --> 01:06:42,840
Speaker 1: love to see and we could build on. Josh helps

1353
01:06:42,880 --> 01:06:44,920
Speaker 1: us offensive linement out a lot, gets us out of

1354
01:06:46,240 --> 01:06:49,200
Speaker 1: some some sticky situations. A guy who can make a

1355
01:06:49,280 --> 01:06:53,040
Speaker 1: play on his feet is always something challenging for a defense.

1356
01:06:53,920 --> 01:06:55,680
Speaker 1: We don't want him to rely on that too much,

1357
01:06:57,000 --> 01:07:00,400
Speaker 1: but he you know, it really is nice to have

1358
01:07:00,400 --> 01:07:02,920
Speaker 1: a mobile quarterback. They can get you out some stuff,

1359
01:07:03,240 --> 01:07:04,840
Speaker 1: even if he knows that the offensive line kind of

1360
01:07:04,880 --> 01:07:06,400
Speaker 1: screwed up once or twice, so he can get us

1361
01:07:06,440 --> 01:07:09,480
Speaker 1: on the move him and sometimes he just played smart.

1362
01:07:09,720 --> 01:07:11,880
Speaker 1: I mean those fumbles aside, I thought he played great

1363
01:07:11,960 --> 01:07:15,400
Speaker 1: smart football and it was great. It was it was

1364
01:07:15,440 --> 01:07:17,360
Speaker 1: fantastic to see. And I know he feels like he's

1365
01:07:17,360 --> 01:07:19,919
Speaker 1: got a lot to work on, but we all did. Yeah.

1366
01:07:19,960 --> 01:07:24,360
Speaker 1: I mean, he was very apologetic of the fumbles right

1367
01:07:24,400 --> 01:07:26,520
Speaker 1: after the game in his postgame press conference. I can't

1368
01:07:26,560 --> 01:07:28,360
Speaker 1: do that, you know that. I know, I can't lose

1369
01:07:28,400 --> 01:07:30,640
Speaker 1: the ball there. We're gonna be in tighter games than

1370
01:07:30,680 --> 01:07:32,200
Speaker 1: the one we were in today and that could be

1371
01:07:32,240 --> 01:07:37,320
Speaker 1: more costly. And he's right, it is my concern going

1372
01:07:37,360 --> 01:07:41,880
Speaker 1: forward with that is teams are going to see that

1373
01:07:41,960 --> 01:07:45,640
Speaker 1: on film and they're going to be looking even more

1374
01:07:45,720 --> 01:07:49,600
Speaker 1: so to punch it out from him, knowing that he's

1375
01:07:50,000 --> 01:07:52,120
Speaker 1: he's got a history of fumbling the ball. I mean,

1376
01:07:52,200 --> 01:07:55,360
Speaker 1: let's be honest. I think that opponents see that and

1377
01:07:55,400 --> 01:07:57,320
Speaker 1: they say, oh, all right, if he's going to take

1378
01:07:57,360 --> 01:07:59,400
Speaker 1: off and run. I mean you might see some teams

1379
01:07:59,400 --> 01:08:02,520
Speaker 1: be less to go for the tackle and just try

1380
01:08:02,520 --> 01:08:04,160
Speaker 1: to punch it out first instead of trying to bring

1381
01:08:04,160 --> 01:08:06,280
Speaker 1: a two hundred and forty five pound quarterback to the ground.

1382
01:08:06,600 --> 01:08:09,520
Speaker 1: And the second one was different. You know, he's got

1383
01:08:09,560 --> 01:08:13,480
Speaker 1: he's you know, head over heels, and he said, what

1384
01:08:13,520 --> 01:08:16,240
Speaker 1: I should have done there is protect the ball rather

1385
01:08:16,280 --> 01:08:18,960
Speaker 1: than worrying about cushioning my fall. He said, that's the

1386
01:08:19,080 --> 01:08:21,200
Speaker 1: error I made on that play. The other one's just

1387
01:08:21,240 --> 01:08:23,200
Speaker 1: a straight strip. He thought he was in clean and

1388
01:08:23,240 --> 01:08:25,840
Speaker 1: never saw the guy coming from the backside and got

1389
01:08:25,880 --> 01:08:31,120
Speaker 1: hit and the guy punched it out. Future opponents are

1390
01:08:31,160 --> 01:08:32,960
Speaker 1: going to be after that ball when he's out there

1391
01:08:33,040 --> 01:08:35,559
Speaker 1: on the edge. It'll yeah, they'll actually be practicing. They'll

1392
01:08:35,560 --> 01:08:37,880
Speaker 1: talk about it all week and practice it. They'll work

1393
01:08:37,920 --> 01:08:40,400
Speaker 1: on it. It'll be a point of emphasis for their

1394
01:08:40,439 --> 01:08:42,840
Speaker 1: coaching staff, and it's it's not going to get more

1395
01:08:43,200 --> 01:08:45,040
Speaker 1: It's not going to get easier for Josh Allen not

1396
01:08:45,040 --> 01:08:47,960
Speaker 1: to fumble. It's going to get more difficult. Yeah, that's

1397
01:08:48,040 --> 01:08:51,440
Speaker 1: just the simple fact of the matter. Two hundred forty

1398
01:08:51,439 --> 01:08:54,720
Speaker 1: five total yards of offense for the Jets yesterday, that's

1399
01:08:54,720 --> 01:08:58,400
Speaker 1: an anemic figure. The defense hasn't gotten a lot of

1400
01:08:58,840 --> 01:09:01,519
Speaker 1: a lot of pub today and we understand why. But

1401
01:09:01,600 --> 01:09:04,360
Speaker 1: they had a heck of an effort yesterday. And coach

1402
01:09:04,439 --> 01:09:08,960
Speaker 1: McDermott commented on the defensive line rotation which which was

1403
01:09:09,080 --> 01:09:13,880
Speaker 1: exhibited with wholesale changes when the starting four comes on.

1404
01:09:14,080 --> 01:09:16,599
Speaker 1: A whole new four came out on the second series

1405
01:09:16,640 --> 01:09:20,160
Speaker 1: and then that continued for large stretches of the game yesterday.

1406
01:09:20,200 --> 01:09:22,880
Speaker 1: So I actually asked coach McDermott, you know, for his

1407
01:09:23,000 --> 01:09:25,920
Speaker 1: take on why the defensive line rotation was the way

1408
01:09:25,960 --> 01:09:30,240
Speaker 1: it was. I thought, you know, it just philosophically, that's

1409
01:09:30,680 --> 01:09:32,679
Speaker 1: a little bit of what we believe in there, Chris

1410
01:09:32,680 --> 01:09:36,519
Speaker 1: and s pride, combination of that, honestly, and also just

1411
01:09:36,720 --> 01:09:38,320
Speaker 1: you know, some of the three and outs combined with

1412
01:09:38,360 --> 01:09:40,080
Speaker 1: the offense stand on the field. On offense standing on

1413
01:09:40,160 --> 01:09:43,960
Speaker 1: the field, with multiple play drives, and then there are

1414
01:09:43,960 --> 01:09:46,680
Speaker 1: no huddle at times too, So it was probably a

1415
01:09:46,680 --> 01:09:49,080
Speaker 1: combination of all of that. Really, it's a lot of

1416
01:09:49,120 --> 01:09:51,240
Speaker 1: thought goes into that. It's not just saying, Okay, you guys,

1417
01:09:51,360 --> 01:09:53,000
Speaker 1: your turn, as your turn, as your joining you get

1418
01:09:53,000 --> 01:09:55,320
Speaker 1: three and out, three and out, three and out. Yeah,

1419
01:09:55,360 --> 01:09:58,360
Speaker 1: it's like four of the first five drives, right, nobody,

1420
01:09:58,479 --> 01:10:01,960
Speaker 1: but I found it interesting. Second, I mean, because this

1421
01:10:02,040 --> 01:10:05,439
Speaker 1: is why I found it interesting. First, first team D

1422
01:10:05,560 --> 01:10:07,720
Speaker 1: line goes out there, three and out. They come off

1423
01:10:07,720 --> 01:10:09,840
Speaker 1: the field. The next time on the field, they have

1424
01:10:09,960 --> 01:10:12,679
Speaker 1: four new guys. Those other guys just played three plays.

1425
01:10:12,760 --> 01:10:15,680
Speaker 1: I mean, do you need to rotate? They felt that

1426
01:10:15,800 --> 01:10:17,960
Speaker 1: they should. They wanted to get those guys into the

1427
01:10:18,000 --> 01:10:20,040
Speaker 1: field of the game, I guess to a certain extent.

1428
01:10:20,400 --> 01:10:24,120
Speaker 1: But we're talking about Darryl Johnson, a second year player,

1429
01:10:24,200 --> 01:10:26,880
Speaker 1: going in at left defensive end second series of the game,

1430
01:10:27,479 --> 01:10:30,960
Speaker 1: and next to him Justin zimmer, a former undrafted rookie

1431
01:10:31,240 --> 01:10:34,080
Speaker 1: who just joined this team three weeks ago, and he's

1432
01:10:34,120 --> 01:10:36,479
Speaker 1: out there for the second series of the game, along

1433
01:10:36,479 --> 01:10:39,479
Speaker 1: with Harrison Phillips and Mario Addison. Yeah, and then later

1434
01:10:39,520 --> 01:10:42,679
Speaker 1: on there were some different mixed match type combos where

1435
01:10:42,680 --> 01:10:44,600
Speaker 1: you had Addison and Hughes on the field at the

1436
01:10:44,640 --> 01:10:48,439
Speaker 1: same time, at as book ends and Quentin Jefferson and

1437
01:10:48,479 --> 01:10:52,080
Speaker 1: at Oliver were the predominant defensive tackle combo with the

1438
01:10:52,120 --> 01:10:55,040
Speaker 1: first unit. But I just found that very interesting that

1439
01:10:55,080 --> 01:10:57,240
Speaker 1: they just brought in a whole new four and then

1440
01:10:57,760 --> 01:11:00,240
Speaker 1: Vernon Butler had a pool hamstring he could he didn't

1441
01:11:00,280 --> 01:11:02,160
Speaker 1: even play, So it's gonna be interesting to see how

1442
01:11:02,200 --> 01:11:05,559
Speaker 1: they how they handle his rotation once he's back and healthy.

1443
01:11:05,560 --> 01:11:08,680
Speaker 1: And who will sit down if anybody? Yeah. Coach McDermott

1444
01:11:09,200 --> 01:11:14,599
Speaker 1: also addressed the injuries to Tremaine Edmonds and Matt Milan.

1445
01:11:14,680 --> 01:11:16,840
Speaker 1: Although he didn't give too many details on the nature

1446
01:11:16,920 --> 01:11:20,160
Speaker 1: or severity of those injuries, he addressed where they would

1447
01:11:20,160 --> 01:11:22,240
Speaker 1: have to go in the event that the two of

1448
01:11:22,240 --> 01:11:27,160
Speaker 1: them can't suit up on Sunday in Miami. Those guys

1449
01:11:27,160 --> 01:11:30,559
Speaker 1: are good football players, and you know they're good football

1450
01:11:30,560 --> 01:11:32,600
Speaker 1: players for us. They've done a nice job and I

1451
01:11:32,680 --> 01:11:34,559
Speaker 1: thought they were doing some good things today and I

1452
01:11:34,640 --> 01:11:37,439
Speaker 1: was very proud of the way um that the that

1453
01:11:37,560 --> 01:11:40,200
Speaker 1: the younger guys stepped in and did a good job.

1454
01:11:40,800 --> 01:11:46,800
Speaker 1: From Tyler, Tyrol Dodson to AJ Klein to Tyler Mannekevicum

1455
01:11:47,240 --> 01:11:49,200
Speaker 1: and so you know, that's the next man up. And

1456
01:11:49,200 --> 01:11:53,080
Speaker 1: that's the resultancy of linebacking crew and the resultance of

1457
01:11:53,120 --> 01:11:55,519
Speaker 1: our defense and of our team. And so there's going

1458
01:11:55,560 --> 01:11:58,280
Speaker 1: to be adversity like there was today, whether it was

1459
01:11:58,320 --> 01:12:03,800
Speaker 1: injuries or a changeing momentum. I think we've learned that

1460
01:12:04,200 --> 01:12:06,000
Speaker 1: you've got to continue to push through when I thought

1461
01:12:06,040 --> 01:12:09,040
Speaker 1: our team did that today. So we'll see what happens

1462
01:12:09,560 --> 01:12:11,960
Speaker 1: this week. We hope and pray we get them back.

1463
01:12:13,680 --> 01:12:16,479
Speaker 1: If we don't, then it'll be next man up, Next

1464
01:12:16,479 --> 01:12:18,160
Speaker 1: man up, is the way he always likes to put it.

1465
01:12:18,200 --> 01:12:20,080
Speaker 1: Don't make too much of an injury. It don't make

1466
01:12:20,120 --> 01:12:22,320
Speaker 1: too light of an injury. But hopefully the severity of

1467
01:12:22,320 --> 01:12:25,800
Speaker 1: those two are minimal or minor in nature, and you know,

1468
01:12:25,840 --> 01:12:27,720
Speaker 1: those guys can get treatment this week and be good

1469
01:12:27,720 --> 01:12:30,840
Speaker 1: to go on Sunday. The other thing to consider here

1470
01:12:30,840 --> 01:12:33,120
Speaker 1: in terms of a factor, especially with a soft tissue

1471
01:12:33,120 --> 01:12:35,760
Speaker 1: injury like Milano's dealing with, is the heat that's going

1472
01:12:35,800 --> 01:12:38,280
Speaker 1: to exist in Miami. That's going to sap at a

1473
01:12:38,360 --> 01:12:43,120
Speaker 1: player of their you know, hydration levels much faster than

1474
01:12:43,160 --> 01:12:46,200
Speaker 1: a game up here in sixty degrees, so that's going

1475
01:12:46,240 --> 01:12:48,080
Speaker 1: to be something also to keep an eye on. But

1476
01:12:48,400 --> 01:12:51,040
Speaker 1: Coach McDermot will be addressing the media around four pm

1477
01:12:51,080 --> 01:12:54,479
Speaker 1: this afternoon and we'll be bringing details to you on

1502
01:14:31,800 --> 01:14:35,360
Speaker 1: game plan yesterday. Joe, what do you have for us? Hey, guys,

1503
01:14:35,880 --> 01:14:38,320
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm no, don't get me wrong, I'm not.

1504
01:14:38,360 --> 01:14:40,719
Speaker 1: I like buying dabell a live like his game plans.

1505
01:14:40,760 --> 01:14:42,880
Speaker 1: I like, you know, he's very creative and all that.

1506
01:14:43,400 --> 01:14:45,960
Speaker 1: I just am worried, which seems to be like he

1507
01:14:46,000 --> 01:14:48,320
Speaker 1: seems to have a lot of lapses of common sense.

1508
01:14:48,400 --> 01:14:51,320
Speaker 1: Like at the end of the first half, we're up

1509
01:14:51,360 --> 01:14:56,240
Speaker 1: twenty one to nothing, we're inside the like fifteen or whatever,

1510
01:14:56,439 --> 01:15:00,479
Speaker 1: and it's under a minute something left, and instead of

1511
01:15:00,479 --> 01:15:03,680
Speaker 1: just using running backs to run the ball and let

1512
01:15:03,680 --> 01:15:05,679
Speaker 1: them use their time outs, take the half down. Even

1513
01:15:05,720 --> 01:15:07,840
Speaker 1: if you kick a field goal. It's twenty four to nothing.

1514
01:15:08,479 --> 01:15:11,599
Speaker 1: I mean, there's the time to be safe. You're up

1515
01:15:11,640 --> 01:15:13,720
Speaker 1: twenty one nothing at that point, you go into the

1516
01:15:13,760 --> 01:15:16,639
Speaker 1: half twenty four nothing. It's a big difference than giving

1517
01:15:16,680 --> 01:15:19,639
Speaker 1: them the ball, letting them get a spark to see

1518
01:15:19,640 --> 01:15:21,240
Speaker 1: they oh, we can move the ball. And it's twenty

1519
01:15:21,280 --> 01:15:22,880
Speaker 1: one to three. And that's why it ended up being

1520
01:15:22,880 --> 01:15:24,880
Speaker 1: only I mean, the game should have been like forty

1521
01:15:24,920 --> 01:15:27,559
Speaker 1: to nothing, you know what I mean, It's ended up

1522
01:15:27,560 --> 01:15:30,160
Speaker 1: being a ten point game. And yeah, wait, so what

1523
01:15:30,200 --> 01:15:32,439
Speaker 1: do you think he laps come and say, well, that's

1524
01:15:32,479 --> 01:15:34,439
Speaker 1: when Josh had the fumble, right, he called the run

1525
01:15:34,479 --> 01:15:36,720
Speaker 1: by Josh and he had the up ended fumble down

1526
01:15:36,760 --> 01:15:39,400
Speaker 1: there the guy that instead of running with the quarterback,

1527
01:15:39,560 --> 01:15:41,439
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, why even risk getting him hurt?

1528
01:15:41,600 --> 01:15:44,439
Speaker 1: Or he's known to fumble, I mean he fumbles almost

1529
01:15:44,479 --> 01:15:47,800
Speaker 1: once in ten and every ten carries. Just be safe there,

1530
01:15:48,080 --> 01:15:50,960
Speaker 1: run the ball out, take the end of the end

1531
01:15:51,000 --> 01:15:53,680
Speaker 1: the half, get the points and you're up twenty four

1532
01:15:53,720 --> 01:15:57,000
Speaker 1: to nothing. It seems like sometimes he forgets to use

1533
01:15:57,040 --> 01:16:01,000
Speaker 1: the running backs for long periods of time, like at

1534
01:16:01,040 --> 01:16:03,400
Speaker 1: the end of the playoff game and overtime. He didn't

1535
01:16:03,479 --> 01:16:05,040
Speaker 1: use the running backs at all, and we were running

1536
01:16:05,040 --> 01:16:07,479
Speaker 1: good back game. So it just seems to have these

1537
01:16:07,520 --> 01:16:09,960
Speaker 1: lapses where he just doesn't want to use the running backs.

1538
01:16:10,120 --> 01:16:13,280
Speaker 1: So it sounds like your criticism, Joe, is more about

1539
01:16:13,320 --> 01:16:17,080
Speaker 1: recognition of time and score. Yeah, and a play calling

1540
01:16:17,160 --> 01:16:20,000
Speaker 1: they're in. Am I right about that? That's that's all.

1541
01:16:20,160 --> 01:16:22,639
Speaker 1: That's my only problem. I love I love what he's doing.

1542
01:16:22,640 --> 01:16:25,720
Speaker 1: I mean, our offense looks really good. But yes, he

1543
01:16:25,800 --> 01:16:29,360
Speaker 1: needs to be more aware of the situations the time,

1544
01:16:29,800 --> 01:16:32,559
Speaker 1: what he can do at the time, what can happen

1545
01:16:32,840 --> 01:16:35,240
Speaker 1: if you if you decide to pass or run with

1546
01:16:35,280 --> 01:16:38,240
Speaker 1: the quarterback. He doesn't seem to take those things into account.

1547
01:16:38,560 --> 01:16:41,679
Speaker 1: You know, here's the thing, Joe, I understand it's working,

1548
01:16:41,800 --> 01:16:43,360
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? I get it, Yeah, I

1549
01:16:43,360 --> 01:16:45,799
Speaker 1: get it. My bi point is this, and I agree

1550
01:16:45,800 --> 01:16:47,880
Speaker 1: with it. And it's easy enough to sit here on

1551
01:16:47,880 --> 01:16:51,519
Speaker 1: a Monday when that I will rarely and I don't

1552
01:16:51,520 --> 01:16:56,560
Speaker 1: think it's fair to hold the mistake the obvious mistakes

1553
01:16:56,640 --> 01:16:59,759
Speaker 1: that a player makes on the field against the offensive

1554
01:16:59,760 --> 01:17:03,679
Speaker 1: co ordinator. The safest play in the world to run,

1555
01:17:03,880 --> 01:17:07,320
Speaker 1: the most conservative play in the world to run, is

1556
01:17:07,360 --> 01:17:10,160
Speaker 1: to give the ball to one guy. He doesn't hand

1557
01:17:10,160 --> 01:17:13,160
Speaker 1: it to anybody else. He just takes it and runs. Um,

1558
01:17:13,200 --> 01:17:15,680
Speaker 1: that's the safest, most conservative play in the world. And

1559
01:17:15,680 --> 01:17:18,360
Speaker 1: that's what they were doing. So and then you got

1560
01:17:18,360 --> 01:17:20,559
Speaker 1: the guy that just you know, Josh, he just laid

1561
01:17:20,600 --> 01:17:23,320
Speaker 1: it on the he just let go of it. Um. Yeah,

1562
01:17:23,400 --> 01:17:26,800
Speaker 1: it's hard to blame Brian day Ball for running the

1563
01:17:26,800 --> 01:17:31,360
Speaker 1: most the safest play in the playbook. Um, play in

1564
01:17:31,360 --> 01:17:34,800
Speaker 1: the playbook would be a run with Moss or Singletary,

1565
01:17:34,840 --> 01:17:39,200
Speaker 1: don't you Well, well no, because you have to hand

1566
01:17:39,240 --> 01:17:41,320
Speaker 1: it ball from one guy to two guys. You know,

1567
01:17:41,360 --> 01:17:43,080
Speaker 1: I mean you hand it to Josh once. Do you

1568
01:17:43,120 --> 01:17:45,439
Speaker 1: snap hand hand off that kind of thing? I get it.

1569
01:17:45,479 --> 01:17:47,519
Speaker 1: They do it all the time. But um, and you

1570
01:17:47,520 --> 01:17:49,559
Speaker 1: can say what you want about Josh fumbling all the time.

1571
01:17:50,600 --> 01:17:53,760
Speaker 1: It's that's Josh. That's not Brian day Ball. And you

1572
01:17:54,640 --> 01:17:57,120
Speaker 1: Brian day Ball has to trust and I trust him too.

1573
01:17:57,160 --> 01:18:00,360
Speaker 1: I trust Josh too. But it's hard. I don't think

1574
01:18:00,360 --> 01:18:02,720
Speaker 1: it's I think you got the wrong look at it.

1575
01:18:02,760 --> 01:18:05,679
Speaker 1: If you're trying to blame that scenario on Brian Dable

1576
01:18:05,760 --> 01:18:10,240
Speaker 1: when it was an obvious mistake by a player. I

1577
01:18:10,320 --> 01:18:12,519
Speaker 1: get that I'm just saying the teams to have lapses

1578
01:18:12,560 --> 01:18:15,880
Speaker 1: of not using them when he should in certain game situations.

1579
01:18:15,920 --> 01:18:18,400
Speaker 1: That's all. Yeah, I appreciate the take. I get you.

1580
01:18:18,479 --> 01:18:22,840
Speaker 1: I mean, you can make that argument about everybody can

1581
01:18:22,880 --> 01:18:25,439
Speaker 1: slice it a million ways. The thing that I often

1582
01:18:25,439 --> 01:18:29,040
Speaker 1: do when I see these situations that may remain and fans.

1583
01:18:29,080 --> 01:18:31,200
Speaker 1: I understand it's going to frustrate them when something is

1584
01:18:31,280 --> 01:18:33,479
Speaker 1: run and it doesn't work. But I think you have

1585
01:18:33,560 --> 01:18:37,559
Speaker 1: to ask yourself beyond the recognition of time and score,

1586
01:18:39,000 --> 01:18:41,640
Speaker 1: is what happened on the field a result of a

1587
01:18:41,760 --> 01:18:48,680
Speaker 1: lack of execution, a mistake by players, or is it

1588
01:18:48,760 --> 01:18:51,080
Speaker 1: just something that should not have been called at that

1589
01:18:51,120 --> 01:18:54,439
Speaker 1: particular time. More often than not, in the three years

1590
01:18:54,439 --> 01:18:57,519
Speaker 1: that Brian Dable has been here, it's fallen on the

1591
01:18:57,560 --> 01:19:00,599
Speaker 1: side of lack of execution. And the use in playoff

1592
01:19:00,640 --> 01:19:03,719
Speaker 1: game is a perfect example of that. There were plays

1593
01:19:03,800 --> 01:19:07,679
Speaker 1: to be made in that game that we're not made

1594
01:19:07,880 --> 01:19:14,559
Speaker 1: due to lack of execution, nothing else. Period. It's always

1595
01:19:14,560 --> 01:19:17,479
Speaker 1: easy to point fingers at the coordinator and in the

1596
01:19:17,600 --> 01:19:21,519
Speaker 1: vast majority of cases it's an execution issue, not a

1597
01:19:21,560 --> 01:19:24,000
Speaker 1: play calling issue. Absolutely, And I'll give you the example

1598
01:19:24,040 --> 01:19:28,600
Speaker 1: and not for these two teams. This team offensively and defensively.

1599
01:19:28,840 --> 01:19:31,200
Speaker 1: I love the way they're coordinated. Yeah, I love the

1600
01:19:31,240 --> 01:19:33,760
Speaker 1: way a day Ball runs his offense. And what's there

1601
01:19:33,800 --> 01:19:35,680
Speaker 1: not to love about what Leslie Frasier has done with

1602
01:19:35,680 --> 01:19:37,120
Speaker 1: the defense of it. I'll go go back to the

1603
01:19:37,120 --> 01:19:38,840
Speaker 1: Houston game again. And I've said this before on the

1604
01:19:38,880 --> 01:19:40,920
Speaker 1: showing people to get tired of hearing it. Think about

1605
01:19:41,000 --> 01:19:43,240
Speaker 1: what it's like to be a coordinator in the National

1606
01:19:43,240 --> 01:19:45,519
Speaker 1: Football League. You're in a playoff game, You've done a

1607
01:19:45,560 --> 01:19:47,639
Speaker 1: great job all year, You've got a top three defense.

1608
01:19:47,760 --> 01:19:51,400
Speaker 1: Leslie Frasier calls the defense. You're in overtime in the

1609
01:19:51,439 --> 01:19:54,400
Speaker 1: playoffs in the National Football League. I mean, it doesn't

1610
01:19:54,439 --> 01:19:58,560
Speaker 1: get any more pressure pack than that. He calls a defense,

1611
01:19:58,960 --> 01:20:04,360
Speaker 1: and he's exactly right. He has two free rushers on

1612
01:20:04,560 --> 01:20:08,320
Speaker 1: the quarterback untouched right in the lap of the quarterback.

1613
01:20:08,400 --> 01:20:13,360
Speaker 1: The quarterback tucks it's done the place, and they both

1614
01:20:13,479 --> 01:20:16,200
Speaker 1: miss the tackle. They knock each other off. One guy rolls,

1615
01:20:16,240 --> 01:20:19,479
Speaker 1: one guy misses. They close there. Whatever happens, the quarterback

1616
01:20:19,520 --> 01:20:22,080
Speaker 1: does not go down. He rolls out, throws a little

1617
01:20:22,120 --> 01:20:25,280
Speaker 1: outlet pass her running back games over. Next plays a

1618
01:20:25,320 --> 01:20:30,559
Speaker 1: field goal. You lose that execution, and you'll have people saying,

1619
01:20:30,800 --> 01:20:35,719
Speaker 1: you know, what is it, what's the defensive coordinator doing? Why? Whatever?

1620
01:20:36,560 --> 01:20:38,639
Speaker 1: And that's the same thing that the Joe is talking

1621
01:20:38,640 --> 01:20:41,559
Speaker 1: about here down and distant. You just want to go

1622
01:20:41,640 --> 01:20:44,960
Speaker 1: twenty four to nothing. Take it. That's awesome. We'll take

1623
01:20:45,040 --> 01:20:49,599
Speaker 1: that deal right now. Let's just snap it to the guy,

1624
01:20:49,960 --> 01:20:51,559
Speaker 1: let him just tuck it up and run it for

1625
01:20:51,600 --> 01:20:53,800
Speaker 1: a few yards. We'll just let the keep clock keep

1626
01:20:53,880 --> 01:20:57,720
Speaker 1: running and do all that, and your quarterback just he

1627
01:20:57,800 --> 01:21:02,320
Speaker 1: drops it on the ground. That's not about the coordinator. No,

1628
01:21:05,160 --> 01:21:07,880
Speaker 1: there's nothing. And I get it. It would if you

1629
01:21:07,960 --> 01:21:11,000
Speaker 1: if if you do something and something bad happens, you

1630
01:21:11,000 --> 01:21:12,720
Speaker 1: should have done the other thing. I get. It's easy

1631
01:21:12,720 --> 01:21:14,240
Speaker 1: to say, why did you handed Zach Moss, Why did

1632
01:21:14,280 --> 01:21:19,559
Speaker 1: you handed Devin Singletary. Well, that's fine, but that's more risky.

1633
01:21:19,600 --> 01:21:22,679
Speaker 1: You're not calling that play expecting Josh Allen fumble the football.

1634
01:21:22,840 --> 01:21:25,519
Speaker 1: I'm not all right, of course, So when it happens,

1635
01:21:26,240 --> 01:21:28,519
Speaker 1: it's a surprise to everybody. And I get that's it.

1636
01:21:28,600 --> 01:21:31,760
Speaker 1: Is it possible? Disaster is possible on every play you

1637
01:21:31,840 --> 01:21:34,240
Speaker 1: called to me that says he knew exactly what the

1638
01:21:34,280 --> 01:21:36,640
Speaker 1: down and distance and the clockwork. He was running the

1639
01:21:36,680 --> 01:21:42,240
Speaker 1: ball off tackle with territory, maybe even getting it onto

1640
01:21:42,240 --> 01:21:44,679
Speaker 1: the to the other hash for crying out loud. Who knows.

1641
01:21:44,760 --> 01:21:50,439
Speaker 1: All I'm saying is um, don't transpose the mistakes of

1642
01:21:50,479 --> 01:21:54,080
Speaker 1: the players and their execution into what was called and

1643
01:21:54,200 --> 01:21:57,240
Speaker 1: why it was called. So that's all I'm saying. And

1644
01:21:57,360 --> 01:22:00,360
Speaker 1: Joe and I get Joe's to you, it's easy to

1645
01:22:00,720 --> 01:22:05,759
Speaker 1: particularly an offensive coordinator to throw darts at him, because

1646
01:22:05,920 --> 01:22:08,439
Speaker 1: like I said, it's it's easy. If it doesn't work,

1647
01:22:08,479 --> 01:22:12,240
Speaker 1: you should have done the other thing. Yeah, So yeah,

1648
01:22:12,280 --> 01:22:15,000
Speaker 1: I get it. Eight oh three five fifty one, eight

1649
01:22:15,360 --> 01:22:17,439
Speaker 1: five fifty two, five fifty To get on board, let's

1650
01:22:17,439 --> 01:22:21,000
Speaker 1: go to Bill in Cattaraugus. Bill's got another comment on

1651
01:22:21,120 --> 01:22:23,760
Speaker 1: Josh and some of his ball security. So Bill, what

1652
01:22:23,840 --> 01:22:26,040
Speaker 1: you got for us? Well, it's not so much a

1653
01:22:26,080 --> 01:22:29,320
Speaker 1: comment or criticism, it's what can the coaches do to

1654
01:22:29,360 --> 01:22:32,920
Speaker 1: help him secure the ball? Betters or any like you

1655
01:22:32,960 --> 01:22:35,800
Speaker 1: would know all those any like special drills or anything. Yeah,

1656
01:22:35,800 --> 01:22:38,040
Speaker 1: you got carried high, right, I mean yeah, you got.

1657
01:22:39,000 --> 01:22:42,240
Speaker 1: You show it to him on film, You tell him

1658
01:22:42,240 --> 01:22:44,200
Speaker 1: what he's you know, you tell him what he should

1659
01:22:44,200 --> 01:22:46,519
Speaker 1: have been doing, how he should have been holding the football.

1660
01:22:46,640 --> 01:22:48,439
Speaker 1: You can talk to him about what he should have

1661
01:22:48,439 --> 01:22:50,400
Speaker 1: been doing, how he's doing, show him what he's supposed

1662
01:22:50,439 --> 01:22:53,439
Speaker 1: to be doing. Work on it in practice, talk to

1663
01:22:53,479 --> 01:22:56,040
Speaker 1: him about it in the game. Make sure you alert

1664
01:22:56,160 --> 01:22:58,639
Speaker 1: him with five points of pressure. When you've got a

1665
01:22:58,720 --> 01:23:01,160
Speaker 1: quarterback run coming up and you're about to call it,

1666
01:23:01,280 --> 01:23:03,920
Speaker 1: you say, Josh, remember now, protect the ball when you're

1667
01:23:03,960 --> 01:23:05,800
Speaker 1: running it every time. You know, when when day Ball

1668
01:23:05,800 --> 01:23:08,680
Speaker 1: calls the play, say don't fumble this. You give him

1669
01:23:08,680 --> 01:23:12,280
Speaker 1: a heads up, Say listen ball securities number one. Give

1670
01:23:12,320 --> 01:23:13,880
Speaker 1: him the heads up when you do it. So all

1671
01:23:13,880 --> 01:23:17,280
Speaker 1: of those things are possible all and I'm unfortunately they

1672
01:23:17,320 --> 01:23:20,000
Speaker 1: probably do all of those things already. Oh yeah, so

1673
01:23:20,760 --> 01:23:23,639
Speaker 1: I mean they pound the fundamentals. Yes, players, I will

1674
01:23:23,680 --> 01:23:25,840
Speaker 1: say this, but you're right there. He's got to continue

1675
01:23:25,840 --> 01:23:26,920
Speaker 1: to work on it. They got to make out a

1676
01:23:26,920 --> 01:23:28,840
Speaker 1: point of emphasis for him. Josh did have an interesting

1677
01:23:28,880 --> 01:23:31,559
Speaker 1: comment after the game yesterday regarding his fumbles. He didn't

1678
01:23:31,600 --> 01:23:33,559
Speaker 1: use this as an excuse, but he did point out

1679
01:23:34,080 --> 01:23:36,080
Speaker 1: it's been seven months since I've been hit like that,

1680
01:23:37,439 --> 01:23:39,880
Speaker 1: and I think it is an adjustment to a certain extent,

1681
01:23:40,320 --> 01:23:42,439
Speaker 1: but he does have to be better, and I think

1682
01:23:42,439 --> 01:23:45,400
Speaker 1: he knows that. So I think you maybe you should

1683
01:23:45,400 --> 01:23:48,240
Speaker 1: take it slide or get more out of bottle. Yeah.

1684
01:23:48,280 --> 01:23:50,120
Speaker 1: The thing, here's the thing. I know a lot of

1685
01:23:50,120 --> 01:23:52,720
Speaker 1: people are talking about sliding and this and that. I

1686
01:23:52,800 --> 01:23:55,880
Speaker 1: kind of worry about sliding because when you slide, you

1687
01:23:56,000 --> 01:23:58,760
Speaker 1: lower the level of your head, and now I think

1688
01:23:58,760 --> 01:24:02,120
Speaker 1: you expose yourself to a whole different array of dangers there,

1689
01:24:02,360 --> 01:24:04,280
Speaker 1: because all you need is a forearm to the side

1690
01:24:04,280 --> 01:24:08,439
Speaker 1: of your skull and you're out in concussion protocol. He's

1691
01:24:08,439 --> 01:24:11,439
Speaker 1: so tall, I would almost rather have him stay up

1692
01:24:11,479 --> 01:24:14,360
Speaker 1: and just run out of bounds then he died, unless

1693
01:24:14,360 --> 01:24:16,559
Speaker 1: he's got plenty of room to give himself up and

1694
01:24:16,600 --> 01:24:18,960
Speaker 1: slide on the play. I don't want him sliding into

1695
01:24:18,960 --> 01:24:21,120
Speaker 1: second base, but somebody ready to take his block off

1696
01:24:21,160 --> 01:24:23,840
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you this, and I realize it would

1697
01:24:23,840 --> 01:24:25,960
Speaker 1: be a penalty, but sometimes that doesn't matter to I

1698
01:24:26,040 --> 01:24:32,840
Speaker 1: believe yesterday was a little bit of an elevated quarterback

1699
01:24:32,920 --> 01:24:35,720
Speaker 1: run scheme than normal. I don't believe they're going to

1700
01:24:35,800 --> 01:24:38,400
Speaker 1: go through the regular season and have him deliberately run

1701
01:24:38,400 --> 01:24:40,920
Speaker 1: the football nine times or six times or whatever. It was.

1702
01:24:41,240 --> 01:24:43,799
Speaker 1: I think yesterday was an elevated count in the quarterback

1703
01:24:43,880 --> 01:24:46,160
Speaker 1: run game because there were a bunch of called runs

1704
01:24:46,760 --> 01:24:48,320
Speaker 1: and I don't really count, you know, not even to

1705
01:24:48,400 --> 01:24:52,519
Speaker 1: count quarterback sneaks. I'm talking about, you know, talking at

1706
01:24:52,560 --> 01:24:56,800
Speaker 1: and running and the quarterback the read draw, the you know,

1707
01:24:56,840 --> 01:25:00,800
Speaker 1: the read quarterback read kind of runs as well. I

1708
01:25:00,840 --> 01:25:02,880
Speaker 1: think they was there were more of those in this

1709
01:25:03,040 --> 01:25:06,760
Speaker 1: particular game plan. The quarterback, you know, the rollout and

1710
01:25:07,040 --> 01:25:10,000
Speaker 1: the touchdown that he ran for was a rollout, which

1711
01:25:10,080 --> 01:25:14,360
Speaker 1: is usually a safe, safe bet, but also there were

1712
01:25:14,360 --> 01:25:16,240
Speaker 1: a couple of times we tucked it and ran. And

1713
01:25:16,280 --> 01:25:17,760
Speaker 1: I thought for the most part, he did a nice

1714
01:25:17,800 --> 01:25:19,400
Speaker 1: job of running out of bounds. So he did it

1715
01:25:19,439 --> 01:25:22,400
Speaker 1: early on in the in the first half and got

1716
01:25:22,439 --> 01:25:25,800
Speaker 1: a like a third or a second and twelve and

1717
01:25:26,160 --> 01:25:28,040
Speaker 1: stepped out of bounds and didn't get hit doing it.

1718
01:25:28,320 --> 01:25:31,000
Speaker 1: It was a huge plus for that team. So I'm

1719
01:25:31,040 --> 01:25:32,880
Speaker 1: I'm a I thought he did a really nice job

1720
01:25:32,920 --> 01:25:35,599
Speaker 1: with his game yesterday. When he hung onto the football,

1721
01:25:36,720 --> 01:25:39,559
Speaker 1: he picked his spots pretty well. But he did take

1722
01:25:39,600 --> 01:25:42,400
Speaker 1: some hits. Yeah, And but for the most part he

1723
01:25:42,400 --> 01:25:44,280
Speaker 1: tries to avoid him. And I'm with Hugh Brownie. I

1724
01:25:45,160 --> 01:25:46,559
Speaker 1: think he does need to do a better job of

1725
01:25:46,600 --> 01:25:49,200
Speaker 1: avoiding the hits getting out of bounds. But I also

1726
01:25:49,240 --> 01:25:52,840
Speaker 1: think this game was about as much danger as he's

1727
01:25:52,840 --> 01:25:55,439
Speaker 1: gonna be in on quarterback runs for the whole year.

1728
01:25:55,439 --> 01:25:57,799
Speaker 1: I don't think they're gonna have him run twelve times again.

1729
01:25:58,160 --> 01:26:00,960
Speaker 1: Let's quickly go to Matt and Williamsville before the break. Here, Matt,

1730
01:26:00,960 --> 01:26:03,439
Speaker 1: what do you have for us? Hey, guys, how are

1731
01:26:03,479 --> 01:26:07,040
Speaker 1: you doing good? Thanks for having me on. I watched

1732
01:26:07,040 --> 01:26:09,800
Speaker 1: the game yesterday with my eighty two year old grandfather.

1733
01:26:10,080 --> 01:26:13,479
Speaker 1: Socially distant, of course, but m really enjoyed the game.

1734
01:26:14,160 --> 01:26:16,439
Speaker 1: I think you guys already answered my questions. So I

1735
01:26:16,479 --> 01:26:18,000
Speaker 1: was going to ask if you could help me with

1736
01:26:18,040 --> 01:26:21,200
Speaker 1: a little dilemma I was having during the game yesterday. Okay,

1737
01:26:22,600 --> 01:26:24,920
Speaker 1: so yesterday I was I was watching, Bills were up

1738
01:26:24,960 --> 01:26:27,640
Speaker 1: twenty one, nothing, you know, everything was going great. And

1739
01:26:27,680 --> 01:26:31,559
Speaker 1: then I go on snapchat and I see that my

1740
01:26:31,600 --> 01:26:36,519
Speaker 1: sister put my signed Tremaine Edmund's jersey on my dog

1741
01:26:36,560 --> 01:26:39,400
Speaker 1: and was taking videos of it. So I take my

1742
01:26:39,640 --> 01:26:44,640
Speaker 1: jersey collection very seriously. And yeah, so like, what do

1743
01:26:44,640 --> 01:26:47,000
Speaker 1: you guys think? Because I was I was about to

1744
01:26:47,120 --> 01:26:49,759
Speaker 1: yell and scream at her, but she had a friend

1745
01:26:49,760 --> 01:26:51,720
Speaker 1: with her, so I couldn't do that. So I don't know,

1746
01:26:52,240 --> 01:26:54,280
Speaker 1: you know what you guys think I should do about? Yeah,

1747
01:26:54,280 --> 01:26:56,320
Speaker 1: this is This is an interesting dilemma that you have here.

1748
01:26:56,360 --> 01:26:58,559
Speaker 1: Matt and Steve and I are probably at some point

1749
01:26:58,600 --> 01:27:02,280
Speaker 1: this season going to be addressing some relationship type issues

1750
01:27:02,320 --> 01:27:06,040
Speaker 1: around football season and the sacred nature that people take

1751
01:27:06,080 --> 01:27:10,240
Speaker 1: their football viewing habits into account for. And uh, this

1752
01:27:10,320 --> 01:27:14,120
Speaker 1: is not a significant other relationship. This is a sibling relationship,

1753
01:27:14,160 --> 01:27:17,719
Speaker 1: but still interesting one. Um. Yeah, I've got an issue

1754
01:27:17,800 --> 01:27:21,880
Speaker 1: with dog hair on my coveted Tremaine Edmund signed jersey.

1755
01:27:21,920 --> 01:27:25,760
Speaker 1: This is not okay, especially without asking permission. Steve, where

1756
01:27:25,760 --> 01:27:27,840
Speaker 1: you are, I'm I'm with you. You've got a beef.

1757
01:27:28,479 --> 01:27:30,840
Speaker 1: I think you've got a beef. She needs to hear

1758
01:27:30,880 --> 01:27:33,960
Speaker 1: about it. It's not just a jersey. It's not just

1759
01:27:34,040 --> 01:27:38,200
Speaker 1: a T shirt. It's a signed jersey. Yeah, there's value.

1760
01:27:38,280 --> 01:27:42,120
Speaker 1: There's value there. And you got you got the Pomeranian

1761
01:27:42,160 --> 01:27:44,400
Speaker 1: wearing the thing France and around the house for the

1762
01:27:44,400 --> 01:27:46,800
Speaker 1: benefit of her social media account. I don't know that

1763
01:27:46,800 --> 01:27:50,360
Speaker 1: the Yeah, what kind of dog is it? It's a

1764
01:27:50,400 --> 01:27:54,160
Speaker 1: Portuguese water dog. So I'm a big took her side,

1765
01:27:54,640 --> 01:27:56,840
Speaker 1: and my grandmother took her side, and I tould my

1766
01:27:56,880 --> 01:27:59,719
Speaker 1: grandmar I was like, how would you feel if if

1767
01:28:00,000 --> 01:28:04,040
Speaker 1: Papa's signed Darryl Talley jersey or Steve tak your jersey

1768
01:28:04,160 --> 01:28:07,200
Speaker 1: was on your dog, Like, it's ridiculous. And what did

1769
01:28:07,200 --> 01:28:11,040
Speaker 1: she say to that? She said, Oh, it's fine, it's

1770
01:28:11,120 --> 01:28:13,640
Speaker 1: just the jersey. I was like, no, it's not. I

1771
01:28:13,760 --> 01:28:17,120
Speaker 1: got it signed by Tremaine at Um the Bill's practice

1772
01:28:17,160 --> 01:28:20,920
Speaker 1: they had at the stadium last year, and Tremaine's one

1773
01:28:20,920 --> 01:28:23,400
Speaker 1: of my favorite players, and I think they could have

1774
01:28:23,560 --> 01:28:25,840
Speaker 1: damaged the jersey. So let me just tell you this.

1775
01:28:26,360 --> 01:28:31,200
Speaker 1: When she says, hey, it's just a jersey, the quintessential

1776
01:28:31,320 --> 01:28:36,559
Speaker 1: comeback for that is it's just your social media account. Yeah,

1777
01:28:36,600 --> 01:28:40,560
Speaker 1: that's the response there. Not only that you're taking a

1778
01:28:40,760 --> 01:28:44,120
Speaker 1: you're taking some measure of risk with with your four

1779
01:28:44,200 --> 01:28:47,519
Speaker 1: legged friend wearing the jersey. And you know we're talking

1780
01:28:47,560 --> 01:28:51,040
Speaker 1: about a Portuguese he needs a bathroom break. We could

1781
01:28:51,080 --> 01:28:53,920
Speaker 1: have a whole different issue. You know, we don't need

1782
01:28:54,000 --> 01:28:56,640
Speaker 1: him soiling the jersey totally. This is a problem. I

1783
01:28:56,680 --> 01:28:59,120
Speaker 1: think it's a real problem with you Matt. First of all, Matt,

1784
01:28:59,200 --> 01:29:01,599
Speaker 1: there's an issue for now on the jersey goes under

1785
01:29:01,640 --> 01:29:05,120
Speaker 1: lock and key and you don't, Yeah, you don't. That's

1786
01:29:05,160 --> 01:29:07,040
Speaker 1: a no no. And the Portuguese water dog is not

1787
01:29:07,080 --> 01:29:09,200
Speaker 1: a small dog. They're big. And let's let the record

1788
01:29:09,200 --> 01:29:11,960
Speaker 1: show the dog is not at fault either. This is

1789
01:29:12,000 --> 01:29:15,440
Speaker 1: strictly a sister issue and it needs to be rectified.

1790
01:29:15,479 --> 01:29:19,080
Speaker 1: So your sister with you, Matt, how old is yours? Yeah?

1791
01:29:19,080 --> 01:29:21,559
Speaker 1: I got If his sister is a millennial, you kind

1792
01:29:21,560 --> 01:29:24,880
Speaker 1: of get the no. All right, she's old enough. We

1793
01:29:24,920 --> 01:29:27,559
Speaker 1: are right. We are late for the break, but hey,

Speaker 1: a very special home tailgate experience. Thermot downas Steve, we

1822
01:31:07,000 --> 01:31:11,799
Speaker 1: are what almost two hours into the show here, and

1823
01:31:11,920 --> 01:31:14,400
Speaker 1: we have not gotten to the tweet sheet where we

1824
01:31:14,400 --> 01:31:17,439
Speaker 1: were asking fans, what is your biggest takeaway from the

1825
01:31:17,439 --> 01:31:19,680
Speaker 1: Bills win over the Jets? And we did tweet it

1826
01:31:19,680 --> 01:31:22,040
Speaker 1: out at the beginning of the show, but we have

1827
01:31:22,120 --> 01:31:23,960
Speaker 1: not gotten to it yet. And the first one from

1828
01:31:23,960 --> 01:31:27,240
Speaker 1: of all people is Steve somebody some other guy named Steve. Yeah,

1829
01:31:27,320 --> 01:31:29,320
Speaker 1: he says, And the tweet sheet is brought to you

1830
01:31:29,320 --> 01:31:32,680
Speaker 1: by Corrigan Moving Systems, the official equipment moving company of

1831
01:31:32,720 --> 01:31:35,200
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. Steve says, the biggest takeaway for me

1832
01:31:35,880 --> 01:31:37,840
Speaker 1: was how solid we looked most of the day with

1833
01:31:37,880 --> 01:31:41,559
Speaker 1: the limited offseason. Were there mistakes, yes, but overall a

1834
01:31:41,600 --> 01:31:43,640
Speaker 1: really solid day. One thing that bothers me is the

1835
01:31:43,680 --> 01:31:46,320
Speaker 1: number of hamstring injuries with the Bills and across the

1836
01:31:46,479 --> 01:31:50,640
Speaker 1: entire NFL there have been a lot there have I

1837
01:31:50,800 --> 01:31:53,720
Speaker 1: noticed it. They went in with Fern and Butler had

1838
01:31:53,800 --> 01:31:56,080
Speaker 1: a hamstring before they went in. Now Matt Malone's got

1839
01:31:56,080 --> 01:31:58,799
Speaker 1: a problem with his. They've got Josh Norman, Josh Norman's

1840
01:31:58,840 --> 01:32:01,400
Speaker 1: and I are with a hamstring. I I Walla's coming

1841
01:32:01,439 --> 01:32:04,000
Speaker 1: back from a hamstring. It's been rampant on the Bills.

1842
01:32:04,000 --> 01:32:05,880
Speaker 1: It's been the one thing that's been a little bit

1843
01:32:05,920 --> 01:32:08,760
Speaker 1: of an issue coming out of training camp. And I

1844
01:32:08,800 --> 01:32:10,720
Speaker 1: think the Bills aren't alone in that. Other teams have

1845
01:32:10,840 --> 01:32:14,120
Speaker 1: suffered it with it as well. Mike Evans and Tampa

1846
01:32:14,160 --> 01:32:19,160
Speaker 1: Bay was question mark. There's it's just all over. It's

1847
01:32:19,200 --> 01:32:22,240
Speaker 1: all over the league, and it is something. It says

1848
01:32:22,280 --> 01:32:28,120
Speaker 1: something about the ability of teams and players and individuals

1849
01:32:28,200 --> 01:32:32,160
Speaker 1: and organizations to figure out how not to have that happen.

1850
01:32:32,240 --> 01:32:34,000
Speaker 1: When you come off a long layoff where you don't

1851
01:32:34,000 --> 01:32:35,840
Speaker 1: have a preseason games, you don't have a way to

1852
01:32:36,320 --> 01:32:41,200
Speaker 1: go live, the intensity of your preparation can never match

1853
01:32:41,320 --> 01:32:43,559
Speaker 1: the intensity of what you're going to be actually doing

1854
01:32:43,600 --> 01:32:47,400
Speaker 1: on Sunday. Football is one of those sports where you

1855
01:32:47,439 --> 01:32:50,120
Speaker 1: just can't do that, and that has always been an issue.

1856
01:32:50,200 --> 01:32:53,679
Speaker 1: When you turn it up all the way, you get

1857
01:32:53,680 --> 01:32:56,360
Speaker 1: soft tissue and get pulled muscles, and it's it's always

1858
01:32:56,360 --> 01:32:58,360
Speaker 1: been a problem, and this year it seems like that

1859
01:32:58,479 --> 01:33:02,080
Speaker 1: is It's it's on the list than it is most years.

1860
01:33:02,200 --> 01:33:05,919
Speaker 1: From Tom on the tweet sheet, positive Josh Allen completed

1861
01:33:05,920 --> 01:33:09,080
Speaker 1: almost seventy two percent of his throws on forty plus attempts.

1862
01:33:09,360 --> 01:33:13,120
Speaker 1: Great scheme and use of personnel. Negative old line run

1863
01:33:13,160 --> 01:33:18,880
Speaker 1: blocking was not good. Yeah, it's a fair assessment. I mean,

1864
01:33:18,960 --> 01:33:21,680
Speaker 1: it was tough to find creases and holes against what

1865
01:33:21,920 --> 01:33:25,760
Speaker 1: was a top two run defense unit last year. They

1866
01:33:25,800 --> 01:33:28,240
Speaker 1: did have still changes, but they are still very good.

1867
01:33:28,280 --> 01:33:30,880
Speaker 1: I would expect the Jets to finish top ten in

1868
01:33:30,960 --> 01:33:36,240
Speaker 1: run defense. There's still a good front, although their linebacking

1869
01:33:36,280 --> 01:33:38,600
Speaker 1: corps is even thinner than what the Bills is looking at.

1870
01:33:38,640 --> 01:33:40,519
Speaker 1: What the Bills are looking at right now, potentially with

1871
01:33:40,560 --> 01:33:44,240
Speaker 1: their injuries. Yeah, it's you're right. They didn't run the

1872
01:33:44,240 --> 01:33:47,080
Speaker 1: ball well yesterday. That give credit to the Jets in

1873
01:33:47,080 --> 01:33:49,040
Speaker 1: some way, shape or form. They did a nice job there.

1874
01:33:49,120 --> 01:33:52,800
Speaker 1: They continued from where they left off last year and

1875
01:33:53,760 --> 01:33:56,400
Speaker 1: the Bills had to find a different way to move

1876
01:33:56,439 --> 01:33:59,960
Speaker 1: the football, and they did. But I don't really remember

1877
01:34:00,120 --> 01:34:03,040
Speaker 1: them attempting to run it a lot. I mean, if

1878
01:34:03,080 --> 01:34:05,200
Speaker 1: you look at the game stats, Josh Allen had fourteen

1879
01:34:05,280 --> 01:34:09,080
Speaker 1: rushes and a lot of those were on dropbacks. Singletary

1880
01:34:09,120 --> 01:34:13,720
Speaker 1: had nine, Zach Moss had nine. That's two per quarter, right,

1881
01:34:14,560 --> 01:34:18,320
Speaker 1: so a little over two per quarters. So's they didn't

1882
01:34:18,320 --> 01:34:22,160
Speaker 1: try to run the football all that much, and when

1883
01:34:22,200 --> 01:34:23,839
Speaker 1: they did, they didn't have a whole lot of success.

1884
01:34:23,920 --> 01:34:27,599
Speaker 1: They did not was Moss and Singletary combined eighteen carries

1885
01:34:27,600 --> 01:34:32,240
Speaker 1: forty one yards. That's two point two and change per rush.

1886
01:34:32,280 --> 01:34:34,439
Speaker 1: If you'd take out the two long runs they had.

1887
01:34:34,800 --> 01:34:36,519
Speaker 1: The longest run they had it was eight yards. It

1888
01:34:36,600 --> 01:34:41,840
Speaker 1: was twenty three yards rushing on what sixteen cares. So

1889
01:34:41,880 --> 01:34:44,080
Speaker 1: that's going to be in needisome improvement. You'd expect them

1890
01:34:44,080 --> 01:34:45,800
Speaker 1: to work on that this week, to be a little

1891
01:34:45,800 --> 01:34:50,400
Speaker 1: bit better balanced because this week the matchups aren't quite

1892
01:34:50,439 --> 01:34:53,760
Speaker 1: as favorable in the passing game. Knowing Xavian Howard and

1893
01:34:53,800 --> 01:34:56,080
Speaker 1: Byron Jones, where they spent a ton of money on

1894
01:34:56,160 --> 01:34:58,920
Speaker 1: to land and free agency from Dallas, are the top

1895
01:34:58,920 --> 01:35:01,720
Speaker 1: two corners there in my ammy. Those guys can cover,

1896
01:35:03,120 --> 01:35:05,040
Speaker 1: maybe not perfectly, but they can cover a whole lot

1897
01:35:05,040 --> 01:35:06,479
Speaker 1: better than what the Jets were putting out there on

1898
01:35:06,479 --> 01:35:08,479
Speaker 1: the field yesterday. So it'll be interesting. They will have

1899
01:35:08,520 --> 01:35:10,880
Speaker 1: to be a shift in approach and focus. This'll be

1900
01:35:10,880 --> 01:35:13,160
Speaker 1: interesting to see what Brian Dabele thinks they can get done,

1901
01:35:13,400 --> 01:35:15,800
Speaker 1: thinks that his guys can get done against those two guys,

1902
01:35:15,840 --> 01:35:18,439
Speaker 1: and how deep their cornerback roster goes. Yeah, all right,

1903
01:35:18,640 --> 01:35:20,240
Speaker 1: top of the hour, we have to take a break.

1904
01:35:20,240 --> 01:35:22,080
Speaker 1: We got a sports update, and then when we return

1905
01:35:22,120 --> 01:35:25,040
Speaker 1: We'll have one Mandy Glab joining us for the Mandy

1906
01:35:25,080 --> 01:35:28,960
Speaker 1: Awards for Week ones performances. We'll see who are nominated,

1907
01:35:29,040 --> 01:35:32,400
Speaker 1: who are award winners. There will probably be plenty to

1908
01:35:32,439 --> 01:35:35,280
Speaker 1: hand out after yesterday's performance by the Bills in their

1909
01:35:35,320 --> 01:35:37,840
Speaker 1: ten point win over the Jets. Back in a moment

1910
01:35:37,840 --> 01:35:40,080

1913
01:35:57,640 --> 01:36:00,480
Speaker 1: off the twenty twenty season with a twenty seven seventeen

1914
01:36:00,680 --> 01:36:03,439
Speaker 1: victory over the Jets. Josh Allen impressive in the win

1915
01:36:03,840 --> 01:36:06,559
Speaker 1: with over three hundred yards passing the first of his career.

1916
01:36:06,920 --> 01:36:09,040
Speaker 1: The win did, however, come with a couple of injuries

1917
01:36:09,080 --> 01:36:11,439
Speaker 1: on the defensive side of the ball, most notably the

1918
01:36:11,479 --> 01:36:14,120
Speaker 1: linebackers Matt Milano and Tremaine Edmonds, who left the game

1919
01:36:14,120 --> 01:36:17,680
Speaker 1: and did not return. Milano suffered a hamstring injury, while

1920
01:36:17,800 --> 01:36:20,880
Speaker 1: Edmonds sustained a shoulder injury where he looked to get

1921
01:36:20,880 --> 01:36:23,200
Speaker 1: an update from head coach Sean McDermott when he addresses

1922
01:36:23,240 --> 01:36:26,280
Speaker 1: the media later this afternoon at four pm. Stay tuned

Speaker 1: to Buffalo Bills dot Com for any and all updates.

1924
01:36:30,240 --> 01:36:32,519
Speaker 1: New York Jets coach Adam Gase, who was involved in

1925
01:36:32,560 --> 01:36:35,879
Speaker 1: an injury dispute with Lebon Bell in training camp, openly

1926
01:36:35,920 --> 01:36:39,280
Speaker 1: second guest himself Sunday for leaving the running back in

1927
01:36:39,360 --> 01:36:41,920
Speaker 1: the game after he injured his hamstring. Quote, I'm mad

1928
01:36:41,960 --> 01:36:43,640
Speaker 1: at myself that I let him go back in there

1929
01:36:43,680 --> 01:36:46,759
Speaker 1: in the second half day, said after the ten point

1930
01:36:46,800 --> 01:36:49,719
Speaker 1: loss to the Bills. Around the AFC East, the Cam

1931
01:36:49,720 --> 01:36:52,719
Speaker 1: Newton era is underway in New England. His two rushing

1932
01:36:52,760 --> 01:36:56,000
Speaker 1: touchdowns helped lead the Patriots to a twenty one eleven

1933
01:36:56,120 --> 01:37:00,080
Speaker 1: victory over the Dolphins. Ryan Fitzpatrick had three interceptions of

1934
01:37:00,120 --> 01:37:02,679
Speaker 1: the fish. It will bear watching this week to see

1935
01:37:02,800 --> 01:37:05,760
Speaker 1: whether the Dolphins make a change of quarterback when they

1936
01:37:05,760 --> 01:37:09,280
Speaker 1: host the Bills this coming Sunday. The Tom Brady era

1937
01:37:09,400 --> 01:37:12,439
Speaker 1: in Tampa not going as expected. He threw two picks,

1938
01:37:12,479 --> 01:37:15,559
Speaker 1: including a pick six to Genoras Jenkins, as the Saints

1939
01:37:15,640 --> 01:37:19,400
Speaker 1: dropped the Bucks thirty four to twenty three. NFL Networks

1940
01:37:19,400 --> 01:37:22,519
Speaker 1: Tom Pellicero is reporting that the high ankle injury suffered

1941
01:37:22,520 --> 01:37:25,800
Speaker 1: by Saints receiver Michael Thomas in Sunday's win is something

1942
01:37:25,880 --> 01:37:29,080
Speaker 1: he believes he can play through. Thomas does have the

1943
01:37:29,080 --> 01:37:32,040
Speaker 1: benefit of the Saints Week two game being on Monday night,

1944
01:37:32,040 --> 01:37:35,880
Speaker 1: affording him an additional day of rest. Finally, on the ice,

1945
01:37:35,920 --> 01:37:37,920
Speaker 1: the Stars can advance to the Stanley Cup Finals with

1946
01:37:38,040 --> 01:37:40,400
Speaker 1: a win tonight over the Golden Knights. Dallas currently leads

1947
01:37:40,439 --> 01:37:43,880
Speaker 1: that series three games to one. Face off tonight is

1948
01:37:44,040 --> 01:37:47,519
Speaker 1: at eight pm, and that is your sports update from

01:37:47,520 --> 01:37:49,920
Speaker 1: One Bills Drive. Chris Brown Steve Tasker with you for

1950
01:37:50,000 --> 01:37:54,080
Speaker 1: our number three of a bills victory Monday edition of

1951
01:37:54,080 --> 01:37:56,679
Speaker 1: One Bills Live as we're broadcasting live from the Seneca

1952
01:37:56,720 --> 01:38:01,000
Speaker 1: Studios here in Orchard Park, and joining us now is

1953
01:38:01,040 --> 01:38:03,600
Speaker 1: our colleague and friend, Won Maddie glab As. It is

1954
01:38:03,680 --> 01:38:08,360
Speaker 1: time for the Maddie's as we hand out awards for

1955
01:38:08,400 --> 01:38:12,000
Speaker 1: the performance on Sunday, and there are a lot to

1956
01:38:12,080 --> 01:38:15,599
Speaker 1: choose from here. So Maddie, why don't you kick it

1957
01:38:15,640 --> 01:38:22,280
Speaker 1: off for us? As where do we usually begin offensive MVP? Hello, guys, Yeah,

1958
01:38:22,360 --> 01:38:25,000
Speaker 1: let's start off with offensive MVP. I've got to say

1959
01:38:25,720 --> 01:38:28,360
Speaker 1: I came into the radio studio thinking that I would be,

1960
01:38:28,800 --> 01:38:31,040
Speaker 1: you know, sitting right next to you all on set,

1961
01:38:31,160 --> 01:38:34,599
Speaker 1: but of course we cannot do that with social distancing roles.

1962
01:38:34,600 --> 01:38:38,040
Speaker 1: So I'm about fifty feet removed from you. Yeah, with

1963
01:38:38,080 --> 01:38:41,080
Speaker 1: the wall, we could have had you in studio. We

1964
01:38:41,080 --> 01:38:42,599
Speaker 1: could have had you in studio, but you'd be off

1965
01:38:42,600 --> 01:38:44,639
Speaker 1: in the corner somewhere and we didn't think that was good.

1966
01:38:44,760 --> 01:38:46,640
Speaker 1: Or you come in, we could leave. I mean, we

1967
01:38:46,840 --> 01:38:49,120
Speaker 1: take a break. That's the other Well, all this kick

1968
01:38:49,160 --> 01:38:51,880
Speaker 1: you guys out next time. No, let's start off with

1969
01:38:51,960 --> 01:38:54,840
Speaker 1: the offensive MVP of the game. And I'm sure you

1970
01:38:54,840 --> 01:38:57,800
Speaker 1: guys have talked about this at length already, but it

1971
01:38:57,840 --> 01:39:01,799
Speaker 1: goes to the passing game. For three hundred twelve passing

1972
01:39:01,800 --> 01:39:04,760
Speaker 1: hours from Josh Allen. Of course, we wanted to see

1973
01:39:04,800 --> 01:39:08,400
Speaker 1: that in his third season. It was about time for

1974
01:39:08,800 --> 01:39:12,400
Speaker 1: the Bills fans to see that from Josh and you know,

1975
01:39:12,520 --> 01:39:14,840
Speaker 1: from the Bills as a whole, that hasn't happened since

1976
01:39:15,040 --> 01:39:18,360
Speaker 1: two and sixteen. It was great to see him distribute

1977
01:39:18,400 --> 01:39:22,440
Speaker 1: the ball to eight different players who caught a reception

1978
01:39:22,880 --> 01:39:26,240
Speaker 1: from Josh Allen. The running backs that even got involved

1979
01:39:26,240 --> 01:39:28,760
Speaker 1: in catching passes too, which is something that we will

1980
01:39:28,800 --> 01:39:32,040
Speaker 1: obviously see throughout this season. I think the chemistry looked

1981
01:39:32,080 --> 01:39:35,040
Speaker 1: really good between Alan and his receivers. That was a

1982
01:39:35,040 --> 01:39:38,360
Speaker 1: big question mark of course going into training camp and

1983
01:39:38,479 --> 01:39:41,599
Speaker 1: into the season was where is the passing game timing

1984
01:39:41,640 --> 01:39:47,040
Speaker 1: with new players like Gabriel Davis and Stefan Diggs really essentially,

1985
01:39:47,120 --> 01:39:50,759
Speaker 1: and it looked pretty dang good in my mind seeing

1986
01:39:50,840 --> 01:39:54,320
Speaker 1: him connect time and time again with those receivers. Diggs

1987
01:39:54,400 --> 01:39:57,519
Speaker 1: drew plenty of attention, which opened up the field for

1988
01:39:57,560 --> 01:40:00,600
Speaker 1: a lot of other receivers to have success us some

1989
01:40:00,880 --> 01:40:04,240
Speaker 1: like John Brown and Cole Beasley. They were able to

1990
01:40:04,280 --> 01:40:08,479
Speaker 1: find some open lanes with Diggs being doubled definitely quite

1991
01:40:08,479 --> 01:40:11,040
Speaker 1: a bit throughout the game, but he then appeared towards

1992
01:40:11,160 --> 01:40:13,840
Speaker 1: the end of the game and finished with eight receptions.

1993
01:40:14,160 --> 01:40:18,120
Speaker 1: So a great performance from him as well. So offensive MVP,

1994
01:40:18,320 --> 01:40:21,040
Speaker 1: it's the passing game. For me, it's something we've been

1995
01:40:21,040 --> 01:40:24,800
Speaker 1: waiting for. The three hundred plus yards from Josh Allen,

1996
01:40:24,880 --> 01:40:26,880
Speaker 1: So to see that in Week one, I think that

1997
01:40:27,000 --> 01:40:29,840
Speaker 1: says a lot about where this offense can go and

1998
01:40:29,840 --> 01:40:33,400
Speaker 1: what they can be this season, especially when thinking about

1999
01:40:33,400 --> 01:40:36,439
Speaker 1: their identity. Certainly, Maddie I get it, and it makes

2000
01:40:36,520 --> 01:40:38,400
Speaker 1: it makes good sense. I mean, it's as good a

2001
01:40:38,439 --> 01:40:40,920
Speaker 1: passing performance that we've seen Josh Allen put together, it's

2002
01:40:41,000 --> 01:40:44,679
Speaker 1: career high for him. Diggs made an impact, John Brown

2003
01:40:44,720 --> 01:40:46,680
Speaker 1: made an impact. Cole Beasley made an impact, and of

2004
01:40:46,680 --> 01:40:49,879
Speaker 1: course Devin Singley, even with Devin Singletary was seven reception.

2005
01:40:49,960 --> 01:40:52,840
Speaker 1: Now the sixty four dollar question is this, how much

2006
01:40:52,880 --> 01:40:56,680
Speaker 1: of that was Josh Allen, Devin Singletary, Stefan Diggs and

2007
01:40:56,720 --> 01:41:02,080
Speaker 1: Cole Beasley and how much was the Jets stink? You know,

2008
01:41:02,200 --> 01:41:04,840
Speaker 1: we're gonna We're gonna have that answer in week two

2009
01:41:04,960 --> 01:41:08,160
Speaker 1: and beyond. We'll see if this passing game is for real.

2010
01:41:08,280 --> 01:41:10,840
Speaker 1: I want to say it's for real, but yes, they

2011
01:41:10,880 --> 01:41:14,000
Speaker 1: threw the ball a lot because the secondary of the

2012
01:41:14,080 --> 01:41:16,920
Speaker 1: Jets was so weak, so they wanted to target that

2013
01:41:17,000 --> 01:41:20,040
Speaker 1: area of the Jets defense and they successfully did that.

2014
01:41:20,160 --> 01:41:23,160
Speaker 1: So it'll be interesting to see come week two. The

2015
01:41:23,200 --> 01:41:26,160
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins have a little bit better of a secondary

2016
01:41:26,400 --> 01:41:30,160
Speaker 1: than the Jets do their defensive line. When when looking

2017
01:41:30,160 --> 01:41:32,479
Speaker 1: at Miami, they gave up two hundred and seventeen rushing

2018
01:41:32,520 --> 01:41:34,720
Speaker 1: yards to the New England Patriots. So I think we'll

2019
01:41:34,760 --> 01:41:36,760
Speaker 1: see a little bit more from our run game next

2020
01:41:36,800 --> 01:41:41,200
Speaker 1: week as well. Let's move on to the defensive MVP

2021
01:41:41,600 --> 01:41:44,120
Speaker 1: of the game yesterday. I think it goes to the

2022
01:41:44,120 --> 01:41:46,920
Speaker 1: defensive line, and I heard you guys talk about just

2023
01:41:47,280 --> 01:41:51,360
Speaker 1: how they rotated. You played the quote from Sean McDermott

2024
01:41:51,400 --> 01:41:55,000
Speaker 1: about how multiple they looked yesterday, and Chris, I heard

2025
01:41:55,040 --> 01:41:58,280
Speaker 1: you comment on how they were rotating in. You know,

2026
01:41:58,400 --> 01:42:00,160
Speaker 1: four guys would come in and then they would come

2027
01:42:00,160 --> 01:42:02,400
Speaker 1: out and a new four would come in. I think

2028
01:42:02,400 --> 01:42:05,439
Speaker 1: it goes to the defensive line. Because the defense had

2029
01:42:05,479 --> 01:42:08,120
Speaker 1: three sacks as a whole. You had two from the

2030
01:42:08,160 --> 01:42:11,719
Speaker 1: defensive line. Had Jerry Hughes recovered that fumble that Jordan

2031
01:42:11,840 --> 01:42:16,040
Speaker 1: Poyer forced, they only allowed fifty three rushing yards. They

2032
01:42:16,200 --> 01:42:19,320
Speaker 1: rotated like they did, but they still had a solid game.

2033
01:42:19,360 --> 01:42:22,120
Speaker 1: I think that says a lot about this defensive line

2034
01:42:22,120 --> 01:42:24,479
Speaker 1: with just how many new faces are on this line.

2035
01:42:24,520 --> 01:42:27,479
Speaker 1: This was really their first test of the season, and

2036
01:42:27,520 --> 01:42:30,360
Speaker 1: to see them rotate like they did, but have the

2037
01:42:30,400 --> 01:42:33,439
Speaker 1: communication and have the success that they did in the

2038
01:42:33,520 --> 01:42:37,280
Speaker 1: first game, I think speaks volumes about how strong they

2039
01:42:37,280 --> 01:42:40,200
Speaker 1: can be throughout the entire year. They wanted to bring

2040
01:42:40,240 --> 01:42:42,760
Speaker 1: the pressure with just four players, and they definitely did that.

2041
01:42:42,840 --> 01:42:46,559
Speaker 1: Sam Darnold did not look comfortable throughout that entire game.

2042
01:42:46,640 --> 01:42:50,160
Speaker 1: Started off the day one for six. He didn't look

2043
01:42:50,160 --> 01:42:52,160
Speaker 1: that great at all. You know who else we didn't

2044
01:42:52,160 --> 01:42:55,400
Speaker 1: see a lot from it was the left tackle McKay Beckton.

2045
01:42:55,479 --> 01:42:58,840
Speaker 1: So our defensive ends did a great job dealing with

2046
01:42:58,880 --> 01:43:02,640
Speaker 1: that six seven, a huge left tackle coming out of

2047
01:43:02,680 --> 01:43:05,920
Speaker 1: Louisville now on the Jets for his rookie season. So

2048
01:43:06,000 --> 01:43:09,000
Speaker 1: I'm giving it to the defensive line for their strong performance.

2049
01:43:09,040 --> 01:43:12,320
Speaker 1: I think we'll see many more strong performances out of them,

2050
01:43:12,360 --> 01:43:16,679
Speaker 1: giving offensive line lines trouble for weeks to come. Yeah,

2051
01:43:16,760 --> 01:43:19,800
Speaker 1: I mean, it wasn't one of those like Banner days

2052
01:43:19,840 --> 01:43:21,679
Speaker 1: where you see a team where you see a defensive

2053
01:43:21,680 --> 01:43:23,800
Speaker 1: side get six sacks and you're like, oh my god.

2054
01:43:23,800 --> 01:43:26,200
Speaker 1: They were unbelievable. They only had three sacks, but they

2055
01:43:26,240 --> 01:43:30,439
Speaker 1: consistently moved Darnold off his spots that he could never

2056
01:43:30,520 --> 01:43:33,120
Speaker 1: have a set base to throw off of, and that's

2057
01:43:33,120 --> 01:43:36,280
Speaker 1: why he was inaccurate. Uh, you know, starting one for six,

2058
01:43:36,280 --> 01:43:38,519
Speaker 1: as Matt he mentioned, and then you know he tightened

2059
01:43:38,520 --> 01:43:40,040
Speaker 1: things up a little bit later in the game, but

2060
01:43:40,080 --> 01:43:42,120
Speaker 1: that was when the Bills were given up yards in

2061
01:43:42,160 --> 01:43:44,920
Speaker 1: exchange for time on the clock. Their next award is

2062
01:43:44,960 --> 01:43:46,720
Speaker 1: as a notice, it's a first chance. We got to

2063
01:43:46,760 --> 01:43:50,439
Speaker 1: look at these twenty twenty edition of the Buffalo Bills,

2064
01:43:50,439 --> 01:43:52,400
Speaker 1: and you have another award for the Newcomer of the

2065
01:43:52,479 --> 01:43:55,000
Speaker 1: Year or the Newcomer of the Week. Anyway, for a

2066
01:43:55,080 --> 01:43:58,599
Speaker 1: newcomer award. We saw plenty of new faces in this game,

2067
01:43:58,760 --> 01:44:01,280
Speaker 1: and I'm going to give it to Stephan Diggs and

2068
01:44:01,360 --> 01:44:04,200
Speaker 1: Mario Addison. It was good to see Diggs get involved

2069
01:44:04,240 --> 01:44:08,360
Speaker 1: in the game early and stay in the game throughout

2070
01:44:08,400 --> 01:44:11,840
Speaker 1: the entire game. Finished with eight catches. I already said

2071
01:44:11,840 --> 01:44:15,200
Speaker 1: for eighty six yards. He was targeted nine times. The

2072
01:44:15,200 --> 01:44:18,000
Speaker 1: fact that he caught eight out of those nine targets,

2073
01:44:18,560 --> 01:44:21,519
Speaker 1: I think speaks to the chemistry that him and Josh

2074
01:44:21,560 --> 01:44:24,840
Speaker 1: Allen have made and have put time in when it

2075
01:44:24,880 --> 01:44:28,800
Speaker 1: comes to the Zoom meetings that started off their connection,

2076
01:44:29,000 --> 01:44:32,799
Speaker 1: into the Florida meetup that they had for that entire weekend,

2077
01:44:33,120 --> 01:44:36,920
Speaker 1: and then then getting a field together during training camp,

2078
01:44:37,040 --> 01:44:41,440
Speaker 1: watching film together. I think we've really seen that chemistry blossom,

2079
01:44:41,600 --> 01:44:43,519
Speaker 1: and I think it's only going to grow from what

2080
01:44:43,600 --> 01:44:46,320
Speaker 1: we saw out of his Week one performance and then

2081
01:44:46,400 --> 01:44:50,120
Speaker 1: Mario Addison with his first sack as a Buffalo Bill.

2082
01:44:50,439 --> 01:44:52,920
Speaker 1: He's someone who is going to be important to this

2083
01:44:53,000 --> 01:44:55,400
Speaker 1: team from what he can bring on the line and

2084
01:44:55,479 --> 01:44:57,920
Speaker 1: also what he can bring in the locker room as well.

2085
01:44:57,960 --> 01:45:00,960
Speaker 1: Anytime that he speaks to media, it's always great to

2086
01:45:01,000 --> 01:45:03,160
Speaker 1: hear him talk. I think he's one of my favorite

2087
01:45:03,160 --> 01:45:06,000
Speaker 1: new additions when it comes to personalities on this team.

2088
01:45:06,040 --> 01:45:09,400
Speaker 1: So those are my Newcomer Awards for the Bills, and

2089
01:45:09,479 --> 01:45:13,760
Speaker 1: let's move on to my OOPS Award. This is not

2090
01:45:13,840 --> 01:45:16,960
Speaker 1: necessarily an award that you want to be a proud of,

2091
01:45:17,040 --> 01:45:20,080
Speaker 1: but I think those Mafia will enjoy this award. The

2092
01:45:20,080 --> 01:45:23,920
Speaker 1: Oops Award this week goes to Tom Brady for his

2093
01:45:24,080 --> 01:45:28,120
Speaker 1: performance on his new team. The Bucks dropped it in

2094
01:45:28,200 --> 01:45:31,880
Speaker 1: Week one to the Saints thirty four to twenty three.

2095
01:45:32,280 --> 01:45:35,720
Speaker 1: Now the Bucks, they're full of weapons, but it just

2096
01:45:36,360 --> 01:45:39,200
Speaker 1: didn't work out for Tom Brady. Yesterday. He threw a

2097
01:45:39,240 --> 01:45:42,080
Speaker 1: pick six, had another interception. He was twenty three to

2098
01:45:42,160 --> 01:45:45,920
Speaker 1: thirty six, did through for two touchdowns also with those

2099
01:45:45,920 --> 01:45:49,960
Speaker 1: two interceptions, had a thirty four point six quarterback rating.

2100
01:45:50,400 --> 01:45:53,120
Speaker 1: You would think that Gronk would get pretty involved in

2101
01:45:53,160 --> 01:45:55,559
Speaker 1: this game just because of the connection that they have

2102
01:45:55,680 --> 01:46:00,360
Speaker 1: had previously, But Gronk, you couldn't really see him at all. Game.

2103
01:46:00,439 --> 01:46:04,040
Speaker 1: He had two catches, four eleven yards, the Saint's defense

2104
01:46:04,960 --> 01:46:08,800
Speaker 1: eight yesterday, their secondary had a great game, picking Tom

2105
01:46:08,840 --> 01:46:12,799
Speaker 1: Brady off. So yep, Tom Brady gets my OOPS award.

2106
01:46:13,240 --> 01:46:15,720
Speaker 1: That's one quarterback that gets the OOPS Award. Who's the

2107
01:46:15,800 --> 01:46:20,040
Speaker 1: quarterback that gets your most convincing performance award? So there

2108
01:46:20,080 --> 01:46:24,040
Speaker 1: were some pretty good performances out there. Russell Wilson had

2109
01:46:24,040 --> 01:46:27,040
Speaker 1: a great game, Aaron Rodgers had a great game. Lamar

2110
01:46:27,120 --> 01:46:29,120
Speaker 1: Jackson had a great game. But I think when you

2111
01:46:29,160 --> 01:46:32,040
Speaker 1: look at the stats, is got to be Russell Wilson.

2112
01:46:32,200 --> 01:46:35,439
Speaker 1: They beat the Falcons thirty eight to twenty five. He

2113
01:46:35,600 --> 01:46:39,000
Speaker 1: only missed four passes. He was thirty one for thirty

2114
01:46:39,000 --> 01:46:42,160
Speaker 1: five for three hundred twenty two yards through for four touchdowns,

2115
01:46:42,439 --> 01:46:44,719
Speaker 1: had a one forty three point one pass A rating.

2116
01:46:45,000 --> 01:46:49,719
Speaker 1: And DK Metcalfe had a really strong performance for them yesterday.

2117
01:46:49,720 --> 01:46:53,840
Speaker 1: Four receptions for ninety five yards average almost twenty five

2118
01:46:53,920 --> 01:46:57,160
Speaker 1: yards per reception. I think Russell Wilson did have the

2119
01:46:57,200 --> 01:47:00,559
Speaker 1: most convincing performance. I mean to go thirty one thirty

2120
01:47:00,560 --> 01:47:03,360
Speaker 1: five and in a Week one opener when they were

2121
01:47:03,400 --> 01:47:06,400
Speaker 1: supposed to be so many questions about all these teams

2122
01:47:06,600 --> 01:47:09,880
Speaker 1: in Week one because there was a shortened offseason, there

2123
01:47:09,920 --> 01:47:12,680
Speaker 1: were no questions about Russell Wilson and what he can

2124
01:47:12,720 --> 01:47:14,960
Speaker 1: do for the season. I was pretty happy with him

2125
01:47:15,080 --> 01:47:16,840
Speaker 1: because he's on my fantasy team. He got me forty

2126
01:47:16,880 --> 01:47:19,360
Speaker 1: seven points yesterday, so I'm good. I'm good with Russ.

2127
01:47:20,200 --> 01:47:21,840
Speaker 1: I'm good with the Russ. All right, what about the

2128
01:47:21,840 --> 01:47:25,840
Speaker 1: hats off Award? Here, Maddie, the hats off Award, I'm

2129
01:47:25,840 --> 01:47:27,880
Speaker 1: going to give it to the Bears. I give the

2130
01:47:27,920 --> 01:47:31,559
Speaker 1: Bears a lot of crap because I'm from Chicago. I

2131
01:47:31,680 --> 01:47:35,040
Speaker 1: give Mitch Trubisky a lot of crap. Two, so I'm

2132
01:47:35,400 --> 01:47:38,439
Speaker 1: going to give them some praise. They beat the Lions

2133
01:47:38,479 --> 01:47:40,840
Speaker 1: twenty seven to twenty three, and honestly, I didn't even

2134
01:47:40,840 --> 01:47:42,920
Speaker 1: think they were going to beat the Lions because I

2135
01:47:42,920 --> 01:47:45,559
Speaker 1: don't believe in Mitch Trubisky and what he can do

2136
01:47:45,600 --> 01:47:47,639
Speaker 1: for the Bears. But you know what Matt Nagy said, Nope,

2137
01:47:47,680 --> 01:47:49,479
Speaker 1: he's going to be our starting quarterback. It's not going

2138
01:47:49,520 --> 01:47:51,840
Speaker 1: to be Nick Foles. Mitch Trubisky is going to be

2139
01:47:51,880 --> 01:47:54,120
Speaker 1: our guy. For Week one, well, they were down twenty

2140
01:47:54,120 --> 01:47:58,240
Speaker 1: three to six and scored twenty one unanswered points. Trubisky

2141
01:47:58,240 --> 01:48:01,759
Speaker 1: had three passing touchdowns in the fourth quarter. To seal

2142
01:48:01,840 --> 01:48:04,400
Speaker 1: that victory. And I think the cherry on top was

2143
01:48:04,439 --> 01:48:09,599
Speaker 1: a twenty seven yard touchdown reception to Anthony Miller. It

2144
01:48:09,720 --> 01:48:12,960
Speaker 1: was a beautiful pass right into the end zone. If

2145
01:48:12,960 --> 01:48:14,960
Speaker 1: you get a chance to watch some highlights, you should

2146
01:48:15,000 --> 01:48:17,280
Speaker 1: check that one out because I was like, oh, okay,

2147
01:48:17,400 --> 01:48:20,200
Speaker 1: Mitch Trubisky, you've you've got something in you there. I

2148
01:48:20,240 --> 01:48:22,040
Speaker 1: know a lot of people doubt you, but it was

2149
01:48:22,280 --> 01:48:24,320
Speaker 1: a pretty good performance by him. He was twenty of

2150
01:48:24,360 --> 01:48:27,480
Speaker 1: thirty six, two hundred forty two passing yards, three touchdowns.

2151
01:48:27,520 --> 01:48:30,639
Speaker 1: I'll give another hats off to the Washington football team.

2152
01:48:30,680 --> 01:48:34,080
Speaker 1: They scored twenty seven unanswered points. They were down seventeen

2153
01:48:34,120 --> 01:48:36,840
Speaker 1: to zero against the Eagles and won at twenty seven

2154
01:48:36,960 --> 01:48:40,720
Speaker 1: to seven. Haskins way to go there. Oh sorry, You

2155
01:48:40,760 --> 01:48:42,880
Speaker 1: may also want to, Maddie, take your head off to

2156
01:48:42,960 --> 01:48:45,400
Speaker 1: DeAndre Swift, the rookie running back for the Lions, because

2157
01:48:45,439 --> 01:48:47,720
Speaker 1: he dropped a game winning touchdown beast in the end

2158
01:48:47,800 --> 01:48:50,360
Speaker 1: so which since the victory for the Bills, you may

2159
01:48:50,400 --> 01:48:52,759
Speaker 1: want to take your head off to him too. All right. Finally,

2160
01:48:52,840 --> 01:48:57,760
Speaker 1: best zoom fit, Maddie, Best zoom fit. So this year

2161
01:48:57,800 --> 01:49:00,920
Speaker 1: I was thinking, you know, is based on how we

2162
01:49:00,960 --> 01:49:05,639
Speaker 1: saw our Buffalo Bill's players on Zoom doing interviews after

2163
01:49:05,680 --> 01:49:08,680
Speaker 1: the game. You know, everybody looked pretty casual. And of

2164
01:49:08,680 --> 01:49:10,320
Speaker 1: course it was a home game, and they addressed a

2165
01:49:10,320 --> 01:49:14,040
Speaker 1: little bit more casual for home games. But of course

2166
01:49:14,120 --> 01:49:16,200
Speaker 1: Cam Newton, he's not going to be a casual guy.

2167
01:49:16,320 --> 01:49:19,560
Speaker 1: Even if interviews are done over zoom. Cam Newton is

2168
01:49:19,560 --> 01:49:22,599
Speaker 1: going to Cam Newton. Hats off to him for getting

2169
01:49:22,720 --> 01:49:25,639
Speaker 1: his first win with the Patriots. He had a nice

2170
01:49:25,880 --> 01:49:29,880
Speaker 1: top hat on, had this like yellow suit going on,

2171
01:49:30,120 --> 01:49:33,920
Speaker 1: had had the glasses on. It was all working very

2172
01:49:33,960 --> 01:49:36,240
Speaker 1: well for him. I want to know what Bill Belichick

2173
01:49:36,320 --> 01:49:39,400
Speaker 1: had to say about what he was wearing. It. It

2174
01:49:39,479 --> 01:49:44,160
Speaker 1: wasn't like a yellow suit. It was canary bright yellow.

2175
01:49:44,240 --> 01:49:46,800
Speaker 1: It was the yellow suit of all time. It was

2176
01:49:46,880 --> 01:49:49,320
Speaker 1: it looked like a lightning bolt. Yeah, it was the

2177
01:49:49,520 --> 01:49:52,160
Speaker 1: yellow suit of all time, no question about it. You're right,

2178
01:49:52,400 --> 01:49:55,200
Speaker 1: and we expected to see it, and certainly he didn't disappoint,

2179
01:49:55,240 --> 01:49:59,559
Speaker 1: no question about it. Mattie, good stuff, no problem, guys,

2180
01:49:59,600 --> 01:50:01,320
Speaker 1: always happy to be on. Have a good rest of

2181
01:50:01,320 --> 01:50:02,960
Speaker 1: the show. All right, thank you. That's Maddie with the

2182
01:50:03,000 --> 01:50:05,519
Speaker 1: Mandi Awards after the Week one performance by the Bills,

2183
01:50:05,520 --> 01:50:08,920
Speaker 1: but some other awards handed out around the league, including

2184
01:50:08,920 --> 01:50:11,840
Speaker 1: her hometown Chicago Bears. She should take a hat. She

2185
01:50:11,840 --> 01:50:14,840
Speaker 1: should give a complimentary hats off awards to DeAndre Swift.

2186
01:50:14,840 --> 01:50:16,719
Speaker 1: Did you see that play? I saw it. He dropped

2187
01:50:16,720 --> 01:50:20,120
Speaker 1: it right end. Could have won the game for the line.

2188
01:50:20,160 --> 01:50:21,880
Speaker 1: It would have won the game for the lines. The

2189
01:50:21,920 --> 01:50:26,439
Speaker 1: game was over if he And how about how about

2190
01:50:26,479 --> 01:50:29,800
Speaker 1: Matt Stafford lighting it up? And I feel so bad

2191
01:50:29,840 --> 01:50:33,320
Speaker 1: for that that guy. HiT's so bad. It's so bad

2192
01:50:33,600 --> 01:50:37,640
Speaker 1: for him. He uh, he just behind Josh Allen. He

2193
01:50:37,640 --> 01:50:41,080
Speaker 1: had two hundred and ninety seven yards passing fifty seven

2194
01:50:41,120 --> 01:50:44,639
Speaker 1: point one percent completion percentage. He had a nice day

2195
01:50:45,000 --> 01:50:48,320
Speaker 1: and brought him back. He was a seesaw battle and

2196
01:50:48,400 --> 01:50:50,240
Speaker 1: he brought him back when it looked like the Bears

2197
01:50:50,240 --> 01:50:53,040
Speaker 1: had done it to him. And he got those guys

2198
01:50:53,040 --> 01:50:56,280
Speaker 1: back and had him down and threw a bowl, I

2199
01:50:56,320 --> 01:50:58,880
Speaker 1: mean right in the guys in l right in the grill,

2200
01:50:59,040 --> 01:51:01,479
Speaker 1: his hands right in front of his face and the

2201
01:51:01,600 --> 01:51:05,599
Speaker 1: ball goes. It was bad. Oh my gosh. Let's get

2202
01:51:05,600 --> 01:51:08,080
Speaker 1: back to the tweet sheet brought to you by Corrigan

2203
01:51:08,160 --> 01:51:11,559
Speaker 1: Moving Systems. As we were asking you today, what's your

2204
01:51:11,560 --> 01:51:14,080
Speaker 1: biggest takeaway was from the Bill's win over the Jets

2205
01:51:14,080 --> 01:51:18,040
Speaker 1: and from Max. He says Allan's accuracy. His passes look

2206
01:51:18,120 --> 01:51:20,240
Speaker 1: precise and crisp. For the most part, he was drilling

2207
01:51:20,240 --> 01:51:22,720
Speaker 1: it into tight windows. Looked really sharp. I know he

2208
01:51:22,800 --> 01:51:24,479
Speaker 1: missed Brown in the end zone and you have to

2209
01:51:24,600 --> 01:51:26,839
Speaker 1: hit those, but that was more of us should afflickted

2210
01:51:26,840 --> 01:51:30,799
Speaker 1: the wrist instead of all arm, not accuracy. Also, Diggs

2211
01:51:31,160 --> 01:51:35,800
Speaker 1: exclamation point. Yeah, that's a common refrain today. People pretty

2212
01:51:35,840 --> 01:51:38,479
Speaker 1: happy with Josh and very happy with Digs, So we

2213
01:51:38,600 --> 01:51:41,040
Speaker 1: got to hope. He continues, how about this, Steve. This

2214
01:51:41,120 --> 01:51:44,360
Speaker 1: is the first tweet sheet ever that I've seen that

2215
01:51:44,520 --> 01:51:46,720
Speaker 1: had a comment from a guy named Steve and a

2216
01:51:46,720 --> 01:51:48,760
Speaker 1: comment from a guy named Chris. We had to go

2217
01:51:48,840 --> 01:51:51,760
Speaker 1: dig deep for these. I think the obvious biggest takeaway

2218
01:51:51,880 --> 01:51:54,200
Speaker 1: was the progression of Josh. Last year. He seemed to

2219
01:51:54,240 --> 01:51:56,519
Speaker 1: start games playing with too much energy. Took him a

2220
01:51:56,520 --> 01:51:58,720
Speaker 1: few reps to get settled into the game. Sunday, he

2221
01:51:58,760 --> 01:52:02,240
Speaker 1: looked poised and confidence from the start, which is impressive

2222
01:52:02,520 --> 01:52:05,320
Speaker 1: considering there was no pre I think he started out

2223
01:52:05,320 --> 01:52:09,479
Speaker 1: at least eight of eighty seven. Now he started the game,

2224
01:52:09,520 --> 01:52:10,880
Speaker 1: I think he was nine of eleven and then he

2225
01:52:10,920 --> 01:52:13,880
Speaker 1: was sixteen of twenty. After it was twenty one nothing,

2226
01:52:13,920 --> 01:52:15,960
Speaker 1: he was sixteen of twenty passing. I mean, that's eighty

2227
01:52:16,000 --> 01:52:19,240
Speaker 1: percent completion. We won't see that. We haven't seen that

2228
01:52:19,320 --> 01:52:22,439
Speaker 1: from him to that degree, and I think I think

2229
01:52:22,479 --> 01:52:26,280
Speaker 1: it bears watching here, Steve, because everybody was so obsessed

2230
01:52:26,720 --> 01:52:30,320
Speaker 1: all through this off season about Oh, his deep ball

2231
01:52:30,360 --> 01:52:33,360
Speaker 1: accuracy was one of the lowest percentages in the league.

2232
01:52:33,439 --> 01:52:35,479
Speaker 1: He was only connecting on twenty four percent of his

2233
01:52:35,560 --> 01:52:38,560
Speaker 1: deep balls. That's not going to get us to victories.

2234
01:52:38,760 --> 01:52:41,599
Speaker 1: Blah blah blah blah blah. But the one area where

2235
01:52:41,720 --> 01:52:43,880
Speaker 1: Josh made a big stride in his second year in

2236
01:52:43,880 --> 01:52:46,720
Speaker 1: the league was in the short intermediate passing game. I mean,

2237
01:52:46,960 --> 01:52:52,280
Speaker 1: for those that remember the twenty eighteen season, Josh couldn't

2238
01:52:52,320 --> 01:52:54,600
Speaker 1: hit a guy in the flat. I mean he was

2239
01:52:54,600 --> 01:52:57,840
Speaker 1: throwing ground balls at guys on a tight end on

2240
01:52:57,880 --> 01:53:01,280
Speaker 1: a plant route or a back on a swing route.

2241
01:53:01,520 --> 01:53:02,920
Speaker 1: I mean he was throwing those in the ground. He

2242
01:53:02,920 --> 01:53:07,719
Speaker 1: couldn't even complete those. And last year that was gone.

2243
01:53:07,920 --> 01:53:10,800
Speaker 1: He fixed that, and so now there was this short

2244
01:53:10,840 --> 01:53:14,960
Speaker 1: to intermediate passing game that Brian Dable could deploy because

2245
01:53:15,040 --> 01:53:18,639
Speaker 1: Josh had become consistent enough with those higher percentage throws

2246
01:53:19,120 --> 01:53:20,960
Speaker 1: to kind of move the ball a little bit more

2247
01:53:21,000 --> 01:53:24,240
Speaker 1: effectively and be a more balanced offense. And it looks

2248
01:53:24,240 --> 01:53:26,280
Speaker 1: like they've taken that part of his game to the

2249
01:53:26,320 --> 01:53:29,320
Speaker 1: next level. Has he worked on the deep ball accuracy.

2250
01:53:29,400 --> 01:53:32,120
Speaker 1: I'm sure he has, But I don't know if that's

2251
01:53:32,160 --> 01:53:34,280
Speaker 1: an element of your offense that you want to hang

2252
01:53:34,320 --> 01:53:36,720
Speaker 1: your hat on every week. If you can hang your

2253
01:53:36,720 --> 01:53:39,960
Speaker 1: hat on this short intermediate passing game, now you've got

2254
01:53:40,000 --> 01:53:42,760
Speaker 1: something right. And they did. They didn't need the long

2255
01:53:42,840 --> 01:53:45,360
Speaker 1: ball yesterday, no question about it. They didn't. They didn't.

2256
01:53:45,400 --> 01:53:47,080
Speaker 1: They didn't even take any shots down the field. The

2257
01:53:47,080 --> 01:53:50,040
Speaker 1: longest places from scrimmage were twenty nine to twenty eight yards, right,

2258
01:53:50,080 --> 01:53:53,920
Speaker 1: and they were Yeah, they were throws of about that long,

2259
01:53:53,960 --> 01:53:56,240
Speaker 1: maybe a little room summer yards after cash. Yeah, so

2260
01:53:56,360 --> 01:53:58,439
Speaker 1: it was they didn't need the long ball yesterday. We

2261
01:53:58,479 --> 01:54:01,720
Speaker 1: don't know if, if indeed they've got that in their repertoire,

2262
01:54:02,000 --> 01:54:04,120
Speaker 1: how Brian Dabo will feel about it, if they have

2263
01:54:04,240 --> 01:54:06,960
Speaker 1: to do it, or if the defense will dare them

2264
01:54:07,000 --> 01:54:08,720
Speaker 1: to do it and give them the opportunity to take

2265
01:54:08,720 --> 01:54:10,599
Speaker 1: advantage of it. We don't know what Josh Allen looks

2266
01:54:10,600 --> 01:54:11,920
Speaker 1: like in the deep ball yet, but I know this.

2267
01:54:12,280 --> 01:54:14,880
Speaker 1: He completed seventy percent of the passes that weren't deep

2268
01:54:15,240 --> 01:54:19,559
Speaker 1: and defenses can't beat that, right, They're gonna do something

2269
01:54:19,600 --> 01:54:21,080
Speaker 1: to get him out of that. Now, we do have

2270
01:54:21,160 --> 01:54:23,519
Speaker 1: to again take this with a grain of salt, because

2271
01:54:23,520 --> 01:54:26,599
Speaker 1: they were playing a past defense which I think might

2272
01:54:26,640 --> 01:54:30,800
Speaker 1: be easily in the bottom quarter of the league. It

2273
01:54:30,880 --> 01:54:34,200
Speaker 1: might be the worst. We haven't seen everybody, but it's

2274
01:54:34,200 --> 01:54:36,440
Speaker 1: gonna be down in the thirties. I would bet money

2275
01:54:36,480 --> 01:54:38,160
Speaker 1: that it will be down in the thirties past the

2276
01:54:38,240 --> 01:54:40,720
Speaker 1: Jets pass defense this year. So we have to take

2277
01:54:41,080 --> 01:54:43,440
Speaker 1: the success rate of Josh and the receivers in the

2278
01:54:43,440 --> 01:54:45,920
Speaker 1: passing game with a grain of salt. The level of

2279
01:54:45,960 --> 01:54:48,120
Speaker 1: competition is going to take a noticeable step up this

2280
01:54:48,160 --> 01:54:50,840
Speaker 1: weekend with the two corners they can put on the

2281
01:54:50,880 --> 01:54:54,480
Speaker 1: field in Miami and Xavian Howard and Byron Jones. So

2282
01:54:54,520 --> 01:54:57,600
Speaker 1: this is where the rubber will meet the road. If

2283
01:54:57,680 --> 01:55:00,600
Speaker 1: Josh is still up around sixty four sixty five percent

2284
01:55:00,720 --> 01:55:03,600
Speaker 1: this week, I think then we can really start to

2285
01:55:03,640 --> 01:55:06,520
Speaker 1: get a little giddy here because this is this is

2286
01:55:06,560 --> 01:55:09,800
Speaker 1: a noticeable step up in talent level and ability when

2287
01:55:09,840 --> 01:55:11,960
Speaker 1: you look at the corners that the Dolphins can throw

2288
01:55:12,040 --> 01:55:14,760
Speaker 1: out there on the field. So it's gonna be a

2289
01:55:14,880 --> 01:55:21,640
Speaker 1: very interesting test coming off of the seemingly easy way

2290
01:55:21,800 --> 01:55:23,480
Speaker 1: in which the Bills were able to make plays in

2291
01:55:23,480 --> 01:55:25,160
Speaker 1: the passing game this week. It's like I said, it

2292
01:55:25,240 --> 01:55:27,720
Speaker 1: was pitch and catch, Steve. It looked like Josh was

2293
01:55:27,760 --> 01:55:29,800
Speaker 1: having a catch in the backyard with his receiving courts.

2294
01:55:29,840 --> 01:55:32,560
Speaker 1: You can look across the league, there were what four

2295
01:55:32,600 --> 01:55:37,120
Speaker 1: defenses that that struggled worse than the Jets did. It

2296
01:55:37,240 --> 01:55:39,760
Speaker 1: was Seattle. In Atlanta, Russell Wilson and Matt Ryan got

2297
01:55:39,800 --> 01:55:43,720
Speaker 1: into a Browns run off the field too by the Ravens. Yeah,

2298
01:55:43,760 --> 01:55:46,920
Speaker 1: but even so, Lamar Jackson didn't throw for three hundred yards, right,

2299
01:55:46,960 --> 01:55:49,520
Speaker 1: So I mean the top five throwers were Matt Ryan

2300
01:55:49,560 --> 01:55:52,160
Speaker 1: and Russell Wilson who played each other. Yeah, and then

2301
01:55:52,200 --> 01:55:55,080
Speaker 1: it was Aaron Rodgers and Philip Rivers who Philip Rivers

2302
01:55:55,120 --> 01:55:58,680
Speaker 1: was in a dog fight down in Jacksonville and through

2303
01:55:58,720 --> 01:56:03,560
Speaker 1: for three sixty three. So behind all those guys was

2304
01:56:03,640 --> 01:56:06,520
Speaker 1: Josh Allen and the Jet past defense. So I don't

2305
01:56:06,560 --> 01:56:10,080
Speaker 1: know if Atlanta and Seattle can be kind of picked

2306
01:56:10,080 --> 01:56:12,280
Speaker 1: on for having a worst pass defense than the Jets,

2307
01:56:12,800 --> 01:56:17,280
Speaker 1: or that Aaron Rodgers playing the Vikings. I think the

2308
01:56:17,360 --> 01:56:21,320
Speaker 1: Vikings are actually a pretty good defense. Yeah, and Philip

2309
01:56:21,360 --> 01:56:24,960
Speaker 1: Rivers playing Jacksonville, which was the surprise of the day

2310
01:56:25,320 --> 01:56:28,560
Speaker 1: that the way that game went down. But the Jets

2311
01:56:28,560 --> 01:56:31,160
Speaker 1: aren't going to be very good in past defense, and

2312
01:56:31,280 --> 01:56:33,720
Speaker 1: we'll have to see how the Bills stack up the

2313
01:56:33,760 --> 01:56:35,960
Speaker 1: rest of the way, and certainly Miami's going to be

2314
01:56:35,960 --> 01:56:38,800
Speaker 1: a different story. On the tweet sheet from Nick, it's

2315
01:56:38,800 --> 01:56:42,600
Speaker 1: impossible to play a play flawlessly in Week one this year,

2316
01:56:42,640 --> 01:56:46,400
Speaker 1: so our performance gets in a grade, But we can't

2317
01:56:46,440 --> 01:56:50,880
Speaker 1: call that many design quarterback runs. It's not just the fumbles.

2318
01:56:51,160 --> 01:56:54,200
Speaker 1: We can't let Alan get hurt. Scrambling on a pass

2319
01:56:54,240 --> 01:56:56,400
Speaker 1: play is fine, but no more than one to two

2320
01:56:56,480 --> 01:57:00,480
Speaker 1: design runs per game. That's from Nick. There is a

2321
01:57:00,560 --> 01:57:04,680
Speaker 1: general there is a genuine concern on a significant amount

2322
01:57:04,680 --> 01:57:07,120
Speaker 1: of Bills fans that Josh is going to get hurt

2323
01:57:07,160 --> 01:57:09,640
Speaker 1: and the season's going to go off the rails. Yeah,

2324
01:57:09,680 --> 01:57:12,120
Speaker 1: and I see the logic. It's there to be. It's

2325
01:57:12,360 --> 01:57:15,160
Speaker 1: pretty obvious logic. I think one thing for me, and

2326
01:57:15,200 --> 01:57:17,320
Speaker 1: I said it earlier in the show. I think this

2327
01:57:17,400 --> 01:57:19,240
Speaker 1: was a game plan thing. I think that was part

2328
01:57:19,240 --> 01:57:21,920
Speaker 1: of their plan to attack the jet defense with Josh

2329
01:57:21,920 --> 01:57:26,400
Speaker 1: Allen's legs, just like the Patriots did in Miami. With

2330
01:57:26,480 --> 01:57:31,320
Speaker 1: Cam Newton, they ran him a club record fourteen times

2331
01:57:31,920 --> 01:57:35,640
Speaker 1: with design runs. That's a lot. It's more than the

2332
01:57:35,680 --> 01:57:38,560
Speaker 1: Bills did with design runs for Josh. Although he had

2333
01:57:38,560 --> 01:57:42,080
Speaker 1: fourteen rushes, most of them are what five of them

2334
01:57:42,120 --> 01:57:46,520
Speaker 1: were scrambles at least, so it is a large number,

2335
01:57:46,560 --> 01:57:51,040
Speaker 1: no question about it. I doubt that that's going to

2336
01:57:51,120 --> 01:57:53,280
Speaker 1: be a weekly thing. I think it was a New

2337
01:57:53,360 --> 01:57:56,520
Speaker 1: York Jet thing myself. We'll see, yeah, we will, But

2338
01:57:56,600 --> 01:57:58,960
Speaker 1: I do think this the Dolphins got to get ready

2339
01:57:59,000 --> 01:58:01,400
Speaker 1: for that. And with Cam Newton doing to the Dolphins

2340
01:58:01,440 --> 01:58:03,360
Speaker 1: what he did last week, what do you think they're

2341
01:58:03,360 --> 01:58:06,040
Speaker 1: going to be working on right? You think Brian Dable

2342
01:58:06,120 --> 01:58:08,720
Speaker 1: might check them out and see if they've worked on it. Hey,

2343
01:58:08,760 --> 01:58:12,040
Speaker 1: you gotta test him. Probably will gotta test him at least, Yeah,

2344
01:58:12,200 --> 01:58:14,680
Speaker 1: or he'll take for granted that. Yeah, they're gonna work

2345
01:58:14,680 --> 01:58:19,480
Speaker 1: on it, and I'm gonna do the other you know. Yeah,

2346
01:58:19,760 --> 01:58:21,520
Speaker 1: Cam Newton is one of the only guys in his

2347
01:58:21,560 --> 01:58:23,240
Speaker 1: first three years in the league. They have more rushing

2348
01:58:23,240 --> 01:58:25,600
Speaker 1: touchdowns than Josh Allen. They're built, they're cut from the

2349
01:58:25,600 --> 01:58:28,360
Speaker 1: same cloth. It's the same kill set. Cam Newton is

2350
01:58:28,400 --> 01:58:30,840
Speaker 1: a young player, was a lot like Josh. Yeah. Now

2351
01:58:30,880 --> 01:58:33,520
Speaker 1: here's the interesting thing. I had your good friend Cornelius

2352
01:58:33,560 --> 01:58:37,040
Speaker 1: been it on Bill's field pass yesterday before the game,

2353
01:58:37,160 --> 01:58:39,440
Speaker 1: and I asked him, I said, can you give me

2354
01:58:40,080 --> 01:58:43,760
Speaker 1: a player, a quarterback you played against that Josh Allen

2355
01:58:43,840 --> 01:58:47,000
Speaker 1: reminds you of, you know, just in terms of ability.

2356
01:58:47,040 --> 01:58:48,640
Speaker 1: I said, look, I know this guy too, I can

2357
01:58:48,720 --> 01:58:50,280
Speaker 1: think of back in the day. Well, I'm gonna give

2358
01:58:50,320 --> 01:58:52,560
Speaker 1: you who Cornelius gave me, and then you tell me

2359
01:58:52,640 --> 01:58:57,000
Speaker 1: if he's on the money he gave me Elway. Yeah, yeah,

2360
01:58:57,800 --> 01:58:59,840
Speaker 1: and I think he moves even better than Elway. But

2361
01:59:00,080 --> 01:59:01,840
Speaker 1: he could get away from problems and run around and

2362
01:59:02,080 --> 01:59:05,320
Speaker 1: he plays. Yeah. And it's and I always tend to,

2363
01:59:05,640 --> 01:59:07,640
Speaker 1: you know, to project to John Elway as a twin

2364
01:59:07,720 --> 01:59:09,640
Speaker 1: or twelve year vet when a guy who's just you

2365
01:59:09,680 --> 01:59:12,120
Speaker 1: can't out smart him. Yeah, more that so than the

2366
01:59:12,440 --> 01:59:15,800
Speaker 1: third year John Elway, who was rocket arm right and

2367
01:59:15,880 --> 01:59:19,440
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball pitcher draft run. You know, he could

2368
01:59:19,480 --> 01:59:22,680
Speaker 1: really run. He wasn't as shifty as Josh I think he.

2369
01:59:23,880 --> 01:59:26,680
Speaker 1: I don't know, boy, you're pretty good. They're comparable though.

2370
01:59:27,440 --> 01:59:29,240
Speaker 1: That was kind of like he said Elway, and I

2371
01:59:29,320 --> 01:59:31,040
Speaker 1: was like, oh wow, he's gonna throw that Hall of

2372
01:59:31,040 --> 01:59:32,840
Speaker 1: Famer right out there. But the but the more you

2373
01:59:32,880 --> 01:59:37,080
Speaker 1: think about it, you're like his arm was like a rocket,

2374
01:59:37,160 --> 01:59:39,839
Speaker 1: just like Josh's is. And yeah, he could run around

2375
01:59:40,560 --> 01:59:46,680
Speaker 1: and like Josh, Elway was a smart dude. Um, Josh,

2376
01:59:46,680 --> 01:59:48,640
Speaker 1: you got aways to get there. But once they get

2377
01:59:48,800 --> 01:59:52,040
Speaker 1: once a quarterback like Josh, like Cam Newton, like John Elway,

2378
01:59:52,480 --> 01:59:55,880
Speaker 1: all of these guys, He's Jim um, all the great quarterbacks.

2379
01:59:55,920 --> 01:59:58,360
Speaker 1: Once they get to a point in their career football

2380
01:59:58,400 --> 02:00:00,840
Speaker 1: like you were there football, and and their depth of

2381
02:00:00,960 --> 02:00:05,120
Speaker 1: knowledge gets to a certain point, they become something special

2382
02:00:05,640 --> 02:00:07,720
Speaker 1: and then their skill set. They can use their skill

2383
02:00:07,760 --> 02:00:10,400
Speaker 1: set to its best ability. They can become mature emotionally

2384
02:00:10,400 --> 02:00:12,600
Speaker 1: when they're on the field, they can become more poised.

2385
02:00:12,800 --> 02:00:16,120
Speaker 1: The game slows down, and they become a little bit

2386
02:00:16,200 --> 02:00:21,120
Speaker 1: mentally above the game, so that everything becomes what do

2387
02:00:21,160 --> 02:00:23,680
Speaker 1: I If they do this, I do this, and I'm

2388
02:00:23,680 --> 02:00:25,320
Speaker 1: gonna get them. Then if they're doing that, I know

2389
02:00:25,360 --> 02:00:27,240
Speaker 1: they're gonna do this next and I'm gonna get them

2390
02:00:27,280 --> 02:00:29,120
Speaker 1: on that, you know, that kind of that one step

2391
02:00:29,120 --> 02:00:32,760
Speaker 1: ahead mentality, and then once you get to that point,

2392
02:00:32,760 --> 02:00:35,160
Speaker 1: but it does take a long time to get there

2393
02:00:35,200 --> 02:00:37,800
Speaker 1: because it's a lot of knowledge to accumulate. It's a

2394
02:00:37,840 --> 02:00:40,080
Speaker 1: lot of knowledge to accumulate. All Right, we have to

2395
02:00:40,080 --> 02:00:41,800
Speaker 1: take a break, but when we come back, we'll get

2396
02:00:41,800 --> 02:00:44,160
Speaker 1: into a little NFL true false. Maybe take a couple

2397
02:00:44,160 --> 02:00:46,680
Speaker 1: of more comments from the tweet sheet. That's all coming

2398
02:00:46,720 --> 02:00:48,720
Speaker 1: your way. Next here on One Bill's Live, presented by

2399
02:00:48,800 --> 02:00:52,000
Speaker 1: Collid to Health. As always, this is Buffalo Bill's Radio,

2400
02:01:03,960 --> 02:01:07,520
Speaker 1: Chris Brown, Steve Tasker, One Bill Live on a victory

2401
02:01:07,600 --> 02:01:11,520
Speaker 1: Monday half hour ago. In the program here as we

2402
02:01:11,560 --> 02:01:16,280
Speaker 1: are discussing the biggest takeaway that you pulled from Sunday's

2403
02:01:16,320 --> 02:01:19,520
Speaker 1: win over the Jets. Some news and notes in the

2404
02:01:19,560 --> 02:01:22,680
Speaker 1: AFC East Levi on Bell is going to miss a

2405
02:01:22,720 --> 02:01:24,960
Speaker 1: couple of weeks with his hamstring injury for the Jets.

2406
02:01:25,800 --> 02:01:27,880
Speaker 1: We hope that's not the case for Matt Mulano for

2407
02:01:27,880 --> 02:01:30,120
Speaker 1: the Bills. We may find out a little bit more

2408
02:01:30,160 --> 02:01:32,520
Speaker 1: information on his injury and the one to Germaine Edmonds

2409
02:01:32,880 --> 02:01:35,480
Speaker 1: when coach McDermot addresses the media at four pm today,

2410
02:01:35,520 --> 02:01:38,200
Speaker 1: so stay tuned to Buffalo Bills dot com for all

2411
02:01:38,200 --> 02:01:42,040
Speaker 1: the updates on that. We also got some news out

2412
02:01:42,080 --> 02:01:48,600
Speaker 1: of Mammy where Dolphins head coach Brian Flores has just

2413
02:01:48,720 --> 02:01:51,000
Speaker 1: informed the media down there that it will be Ryan

2414
02:01:51,040 --> 02:01:54,440
Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick's starting for them here in Week two against the Bills.

2415
02:01:56,160 --> 02:01:58,800
Speaker 1: And I gotta tell you, Steve, if I'm Brian Flores,

2416
02:01:58,840 --> 02:02:01,120
Speaker 1: I'm doing the same thing. You're gonna throw twa out

2417
02:02:01,120 --> 02:02:04,320
Speaker 1: there for his first NFL game against that defense. No, no,

2418
02:02:04,960 --> 02:02:08,920
Speaker 1: thank you. But the the interesting thing about that is

2419
02:02:10,520 --> 02:02:13,360
Speaker 1: he already had to answer that question, well, because it

2420
02:02:13,400 --> 02:02:17,440
Speaker 1: fits through three picks. Yes, yesterday, that's why that. Yeah,

2421
02:02:17,440 --> 02:02:21,520
Speaker 1: he's all. They scored eleven points and really they scored

2422
02:02:21,560 --> 02:02:23,680
Speaker 1: three points in the first half, and they scored a

2423
02:02:23,720 --> 02:02:26,160
Speaker 1: garbage touchdown with a two point conversion at the end

2424
02:02:26,160 --> 02:02:28,920
Speaker 1: of the game, which was completely meaningless. Their offense was

2425
02:02:29,000 --> 02:02:33,760
Speaker 1: devoid of any consistency yesterday. Yeah, they and already you

2426
02:02:33,800 --> 02:02:38,240
Speaker 1: know they're out saying how long is this going to take? Yeah?

2427
02:02:38,480 --> 02:02:42,440
Speaker 1: I imagine, But I'll say this, I agree with you.

2428
02:02:42,720 --> 02:02:46,840
Speaker 1: Do you don't put tah in this week? And I'm

2429
02:02:46,840 --> 02:02:48,400
Speaker 1: not saying that because I you know, because listen, I

2430
02:02:48,600 --> 02:02:50,760
Speaker 1: don't mind put a rookie quarterback. Oh yeah, I mean,

2431
02:02:50,760 --> 02:02:52,920
Speaker 1: we'd be all for it. But if you're trying to

2432
02:02:52,960 --> 02:02:56,000
Speaker 1: think logically and coherently for what's best for the Dolphins,

2433
02:02:56,040 --> 02:02:58,320
Speaker 1: it's not putting two in a game against this Bill's defense.

2434
02:02:58,360 --> 02:03:01,600
Speaker 1: That's just not exactly. It's a tough year to break

2435
02:03:01,640 --> 02:03:03,880
Speaker 1: another young quarterback in if you're breaking them in the

2436
02:03:03,960 --> 02:03:06,800
Speaker 1: AFC East because you're playing the NFC West, you're playing

2437
02:03:06,800 --> 02:03:16,000
Speaker 1: the AFC North and the AFC West. Don't do that.

2438
02:03:16,080 --> 02:03:18,480
Speaker 1: You know, that's bad. That's a bad scout the Bills.

2439
02:03:18,560 --> 02:03:20,880
Speaker 1: And we talked to Armand del sal Garre about two

2440
02:03:20,960 --> 02:03:23,760
Speaker 1: weeks ago now on the show, and he said, yeah,

2441
02:03:23,800 --> 02:03:26,000
Speaker 1: they're not gonna there's not gonna be a quick hook

2442
02:03:26,040 --> 02:03:28,960
Speaker 1: for fits. They want to wait on two of They

2443
02:03:28,960 --> 02:03:31,240
Speaker 1: know the strength of schedule they're playing this year. They

2444
02:03:31,280 --> 02:03:32,600
Speaker 1: want to They don't want to throw two it to

2445
02:03:32,680 --> 02:03:35,240
Speaker 1: the Wolves. And that's what you might be doing. If

2446
02:03:35,240 --> 02:03:37,520
Speaker 1: you have him make his first start against the Bills

2447
02:03:38,000 --> 02:03:40,920
Speaker 1: or against the Patriots, or against the forty nine ers

2448
02:03:41,240 --> 02:03:43,640
Speaker 1: or against the Seahawks. Well, I think there's also a

2449
02:03:43,640 --> 02:03:46,600
Speaker 1: thought in the in the coaching staff of Miami that

2450
02:03:47,680 --> 02:03:51,200
Speaker 1: they will find themselves a little bit there. Last year,

2451
02:03:51,280 --> 02:03:54,040
Speaker 1: they developed throughout the season. In the last part of

2452
02:03:54,080 --> 02:03:55,920
Speaker 1: the season, they went five and four of their last nine.

2453
02:03:55,920 --> 02:03:58,160
Speaker 1: I mean, they played much better football, and I think

2454
02:03:58,200 --> 02:04:01,120
Speaker 1: Brian Flores knows this. With all the new moving parts,

2455
02:04:01,240 --> 02:04:04,200
Speaker 1: upgraded as they are, they still have to get it

2456
02:04:04,600 --> 02:04:07,120
Speaker 1: together and the coaching staff needs to know what they

2457
02:04:07,160 --> 02:04:09,160
Speaker 1: look like on a game day. They have no idea.

2458
02:04:09,280 --> 02:04:13,000
Speaker 1: Still they got an idea yesterday against the Patriots, but

2459
02:04:13,040 --> 02:04:14,240
Speaker 1: they still have a lot of things they need to

2460
02:04:14,280 --> 02:04:16,440
Speaker 1: find out about. Once they find out who they are

2461
02:04:17,040 --> 02:04:19,360
Speaker 1: and who Toa is and how he can help, then

2462
02:04:19,400 --> 02:04:21,160
Speaker 1: they can start to integrate him in and say, Okay,

2463
02:04:21,240 --> 02:04:24,960
Speaker 1: you know what, in this game, if we get to

2464
02:04:25,040 --> 02:04:27,839
Speaker 1: a point where we're down, you know, by double digits

2465
02:04:27,840 --> 02:04:30,320
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter, where we're gonna give him some

2466
02:04:30,480 --> 02:04:32,520
Speaker 1: we're gonna give him some reps, or we're gonna get

2467
02:04:32,560 --> 02:04:34,880
Speaker 1: him in for a series or whatever, and then they

2468
02:04:34,880 --> 02:04:36,920
Speaker 1: can work at this that way to integrate him in.

2469
02:04:37,000 --> 02:04:39,960
Speaker 1: Once the team starts playing better, I think the Dolphins

2470
02:04:39,960 --> 02:04:41,080
Speaker 1: are gonna be much better at the end of the

2471
02:04:41,120 --> 02:04:43,280
Speaker 1: season than they are at the front. I think that's

2472
02:04:43,320 --> 02:04:44,840
Speaker 1: the way they did it last year. I think they

2473
02:04:45,480 --> 02:04:48,040
Speaker 1: mirror a lot of what the Buffalo Bills do. Their

2474
02:04:48,040 --> 02:04:50,960
Speaker 1: player development is a lot better than it's been in Miami.

2475
02:04:51,320 --> 02:04:53,200
Speaker 1: So I think that's gonna be a different team in

2476
02:04:53,240 --> 02:04:57,960
Speaker 1: a month. Then ask the question again, Yeah, and I

2477
02:04:57,960 --> 02:05:01,240
Speaker 1: think maybe you get a different answer. Okay, time Steve

2478
02:05:01,920 --> 02:05:06,280
Speaker 1: for NFL True false brought to you by Yancey's Fancy

2479
02:05:06,800 --> 02:05:12,400
Speaker 1: Yancey's Fancy New York's Artisan Cheese. Now, we did have

2480
02:05:13,000 --> 02:05:16,120
Speaker 1: question number one, which was supposed to be Dolphins turned

2481
02:05:16,160 --> 02:05:18,240
Speaker 1: to two in Week two versus the Bills. We already

2482
02:05:18,280 --> 02:05:20,960
Speaker 1: know that's not happening, so we will skate right by

2483
02:05:21,000 --> 02:05:25,880
Speaker 1: that one. So NFL true false pretty up to date

2484
02:05:25,920 --> 02:05:28,280
Speaker 1: by our two false crew. Yeah, they were, They were

2485
02:05:28,320 --> 02:05:30,520
Speaker 1: on top of the Kudos to them, NFL true false

2486
02:05:30,600 --> 02:05:33,760
Speaker 1: Number two, The Patriots need to be careful with Cam

2487
02:05:33,840 --> 02:05:37,040
Speaker 1: Newton running the football. Now, tell me if you think

2488
02:05:37,080 --> 02:05:39,720
Speaker 1: this is any different a situation than the one the

2489
02:05:39,720 --> 02:05:42,520
Speaker 1: Bills are dealing with with Josh Allen. Here is it

2490
02:05:43,040 --> 02:05:46,560
Speaker 1: different in New England? Because Cam is thirty years old

2491
02:05:46,720 --> 02:05:50,480
Speaker 1: and has had two shoulder surgeries and a foot surgery.

2492
02:05:50,760 --> 02:05:53,400
Speaker 1: Is it different than Josh Allen running the ball as

2493
02:05:53,440 --> 02:05:56,120
Speaker 1: much as he is. Do you have to protect him

2494
02:05:56,160 --> 02:05:58,960
Speaker 1: more because of his injury history? I think no. I

2495
02:05:59,040 --> 02:06:03,600
Speaker 1: think it's no. I think it's exactly the same. Every

2496
02:06:03,680 --> 02:06:06,920
Speaker 1: quarterback's exactly the same. You've got called runs by these guys.

2497
02:06:06,960 --> 02:06:09,720
Speaker 1: Cam Newton ran at fifteen times, two of them were

2498
02:06:09,720 --> 02:06:13,520
Speaker 1: for touchdowns, Josh Allen rent at fourteen times, and we've

2499
02:06:13,560 --> 02:06:16,240
Speaker 1: we've filled it, fielded half the calls we've fielded, and

2500
02:06:16,440 --> 02:06:18,600
Speaker 1: most of our feedback on Twitter is like, I really

2501
02:06:18,760 --> 02:06:21,360
Speaker 1: think it's bad idea to run him that much. It's

2502
02:06:21,400 --> 02:06:23,760
Speaker 1: got to be the same thing in New England's But

2503
02:06:25,800 --> 02:06:27,160
Speaker 1: let me take that back. It is a little different

2504
02:06:27,200 --> 02:06:29,760
Speaker 1: New England. You know why he's not a one year deal.

2505
02:06:31,240 --> 02:06:34,480
Speaker 1: Use him up. I don't care if the guy, if

2506
02:06:34,480 --> 02:06:36,560
Speaker 1: the guy can't play another down at the end of

2507
02:06:36,560 --> 02:06:38,000
Speaker 1: the year, as long as we get him through the

2508
02:06:38,000 --> 02:06:39,880
Speaker 1: playoffs and through the in Super Bowl. You know, New

2509
02:06:39,880 --> 02:06:42,240
Speaker 1: England's thinking the same way. Get him to the championship,

2510
02:06:42,360 --> 02:06:44,080
Speaker 1: then kick him to the curb when he's used up.

2511
02:06:44,120 --> 02:06:46,600
Speaker 1: And let's and let's not forget that seeing that in Buffalo,

2512
02:06:46,760 --> 02:06:49,560
Speaker 1: let's not forget this either, Bill Belichick. He's gonna do

2513
02:06:49,600 --> 02:06:51,400
Speaker 1: whatever he thinks is going to get them the most

2514
02:06:51,440 --> 02:06:53,960
Speaker 1: points on the scoreboard. And if that means Cam Newton

2515
02:06:54,040 --> 02:06:56,120
Speaker 1: is your best goal line back, guess what. He's gonna

2516
02:06:56,120 --> 02:06:58,080
Speaker 1: be their goal lineback, right, And that's just the way

2517
02:06:58,080 --> 02:06:59,960
Speaker 1: it's gonna be set a time and again, Cam new

2518
02:07:00,280 --> 02:07:01,960
Speaker 1: is it just like Josh Auton. They're the best short

2519
02:07:02,040 --> 02:07:04,760
Speaker 1: yardage backs in the NFL. They got the ball in

2520
02:07:04,760 --> 02:07:07,280
Speaker 1: their hands every time, they can throw it, run it whatever.

2521
02:07:07,320 --> 02:07:10,280
Speaker 1: If it's a short yardage situation, they can trip and

2522
02:07:10,400 --> 02:07:13,920
Speaker 1: fall forward and get the first down. They're the best

2523
02:07:13,920 --> 02:07:17,000
Speaker 1: option in the NFL. I think as short yardage backs

2524
02:07:17,000 --> 02:07:19,400
Speaker 1: and quarterbacks, they're both big and they can. They both

2525
02:07:19,440 --> 02:07:21,360
Speaker 1: have a knack for doing it. So so do they

2526
02:07:21,400 --> 02:07:23,320
Speaker 1: need to be careful with Cam Newton running the ball?

2527
02:07:23,320 --> 02:07:27,480
Speaker 1: True or false? I'd say no, no, let let's fall.

2528
02:07:27,600 --> 02:07:30,080
Speaker 1: That's different. I would say different. It's different there because

2529
02:07:30,080 --> 02:07:32,560
Speaker 1: I will say false too, because again of the one

2530
02:07:32,640 --> 02:07:34,920
Speaker 1: year deal that you mentioned, Yeah, use them and if

2531
02:07:34,920 --> 02:07:37,200
Speaker 1: you got to lose them, lose them. Yeah, I got

2532
02:07:37,200 --> 02:07:39,200
Speaker 1: to use them to help help you win. Yeah, if

2533
02:07:39,240 --> 02:07:41,960
Speaker 1: you if yeah, So false for me and false for you,

2534
02:07:42,120 --> 02:07:48,720
Speaker 1: right all right? NFL true false. Number three, the Jaguars

2535
02:07:48,760 --> 02:07:53,520
Speaker 1: win over the Cults was the biggest upset in Week one.

2536
02:07:53,800 --> 02:07:56,800
Speaker 1: I think that's false, Okay. I think the biggest upset

2537
02:07:56,880 --> 02:08:02,160
Speaker 1: was Washington over Philly. Was supposed to win that game.

2538
02:08:02,280 --> 02:08:08,520
Speaker 1: Philly and Washington is a mess there in the off season.

2539
02:08:08,560 --> 02:08:12,120
Speaker 1: They were a dumpster fire. They were an embarrassment to

2540
02:08:12,160 --> 02:08:17,080
Speaker 1: the league with all the scandals and the discrimination and

2541
02:08:17,160 --> 02:08:21,520
Speaker 1: the misbehavior and the toxic environment and all the yuck

2542
02:08:21,600 --> 02:08:23,440
Speaker 1: that was coming out of the Williams. I don't want

2543
02:08:23,480 --> 02:08:27,560
Speaker 1: to be here exactly, refusing to play for them. Uh

2544
02:08:27,640 --> 02:08:32,160
Speaker 1: now the owner has been implicated, they change their name.

2545
02:08:32,320 --> 02:08:38,440
Speaker 1: They the whole thing. H to have them score seventeen unanswered,

2546
02:08:38,560 --> 02:08:42,720
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, twenty seven unanswered to beat the team that

2547
02:08:42,760 --> 02:08:46,920
Speaker 1: many thought was gonna win the division in the NFC East. Um,

2548
02:08:47,080 --> 02:08:50,080
Speaker 1: I think is a big surprise, A big surprise, particularly

2549
02:08:50,080 --> 02:08:52,920
Speaker 1: with Dwayne Haskins pulling the trigger. So good for the

2550
02:08:53,000 --> 02:08:56,240
Speaker 1: good for the Washington football team. I showed you the

2551
02:08:56,280 --> 02:08:59,840
Speaker 1: great It's the greatest tagline, the greatest lead of in

2552
02:09:01,160 --> 02:09:03,920
Speaker 1: the NFL this weekend, no question about it. This is

2553
02:09:03,920 --> 02:09:07,240
Speaker 1: pretty good. I will give it from the APU. They're

2554
02:09:07,320 --> 02:09:09,800
Speaker 1: quoted as saying this. They this is the game recap

2555
02:09:09,880 --> 02:09:13,360
Speaker 1: of the Washington win over Philly ap the Associated Press

2556
02:09:14,080 --> 02:09:16,840
Speaker 1: the Washington football team played like a group of guys

2557
02:09:16,960 --> 02:09:20,920
Speaker 1: determined to make a name for themselves, and what will

2558
02:09:20,960 --> 02:09:23,160
Speaker 1: that name be? What will that name? That was very clever.

2559
02:09:23,400 --> 02:09:25,000
Speaker 1: I thought it was great. Yeah, that was really good.

2560
02:09:25,040 --> 02:09:27,520
Speaker 1: It's a great one I am. I am gonna say

2561
02:09:27,520 --> 02:09:31,040
Speaker 1: false as well, because I think the bigger upset was

2562
02:09:31,120 --> 02:09:35,040
Speaker 1: Arizona going into San Francisco and beating the defending NFC

2563
02:09:35,280 --> 02:09:39,520
Speaker 1: champs in a comeback effort twenty four to twenty and

2564
02:09:39,720 --> 02:09:43,000
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray. I'm not the first person saying this. You

2565
02:09:43,120 --> 02:09:46,440
Speaker 1: got to be pretty damn good. Kyler Murray was impressive yesterday,

2566
02:09:46,680 --> 02:09:49,120
Speaker 1: twenty six to forty for two hundred and thirty yards

2567
02:09:49,160 --> 02:09:51,720
Speaker 1: and a touchdown. He did have one pick. He also

2568
02:09:51,800 --> 02:09:54,600
Speaker 1: ran for ninety one yards on thirteen carries, had a

2569
02:09:54,640 --> 02:09:59,680
Speaker 1: rushing touchdown as well. DeAndre Hopkins fourteen catches, one hundred

2570
02:09:59,720 --> 02:10:04,480
Speaker 1: and fIF one yards, no touchdowns. But think about this, Okay,

2571
02:10:04,560 --> 02:10:07,280
Speaker 1: fourteen catches. Fourteen catches for one hundred and fifty one yards.

2572
02:10:07,320 --> 02:10:12,080
Speaker 1: Think about this for a second. Okay, Trudeavious White in

2573
02:10:12,120 --> 02:10:16,040
Speaker 1: the playoff game was getting flak for giving up like

2574
02:10:16,120 --> 02:10:18,120
Speaker 1: five or six catches. I want to say, for seventy

2575
02:10:18,120 --> 02:10:21,080
Speaker 1: five yards. This guy just put up double that on

2576
02:10:21,120 --> 02:10:24,920
Speaker 1: the number two defense in the league last year. Okay,

2577
02:10:25,120 --> 02:10:29,080
Speaker 1: But Kyler Murray on the road in San Francisco, that's

2578
02:10:29,120 --> 02:10:31,800
Speaker 1: my upset. So I say, Falls, that's a great game,

2579
02:10:31,840 --> 02:10:35,680
Speaker 1: too good. That's NFL true Falls Yeah. Presented by Yancy's

2580
02:10:35,680 --> 02:10:38,000
Speaker 1: Fancy New York's Artists and Cheese. Steve and I will

2581
02:10:38,040 --> 02:10:41,480
Speaker 1: step aside, but when we return, we bring you what

2582
02:10:41,520 --> 02:10:44,760
Speaker 1: we have learned from today's show, and there was plenty

2583
02:10:44,800 --> 02:10:47,040
Speaker 1: of stuff in there. What are we pulling out for

2584
02:10:47,080 --> 02:10:48,960
Speaker 1: the number one and number two lesson? We'll let you

2585
02:10:49,000 --> 02:10:51,480
Speaker 1: know in a second. Here on one Bills Live presented

2586
02:10:51,480 --> 02:11:08,080
Speaker 1: by Kalida Health, this is Buffalo Bill's radio time for

2587
02:11:08,280 --> 02:11:10,600
Speaker 1: what have we learned? Brought to you by Skyworks, the

2588
02:11:10,680 --> 02:11:15,640
Speaker 1: official construction equipment rental company of the Buffalo Bills. And

2589
02:11:16,000 --> 02:11:18,520
Speaker 1: I think Steve based on the responses we had both

2590
02:11:18,560 --> 02:11:21,080
Speaker 1: on the tweet sheet and on the phone lines, and

2591
02:11:21,160 --> 02:11:23,040
Speaker 1: thanks for everybody for calling in and being part of

2592
02:11:23,040 --> 02:11:27,000
Speaker 1: the show. People are generally happy with the Bill's offensive

2593
02:11:27,040 --> 02:11:30,640
Speaker 1: performance and the defensive performance. It just didn't get quite

2594
02:11:30,280 --> 02:11:34,959
Speaker 1: as quite as much headline attention, shall we say, But overall,

2595
02:11:35,040 --> 02:11:38,000
Speaker 1: and you know, we forgot to mention today the job

2596
02:11:38,080 --> 02:11:42,840
Speaker 1: Andre Roberts did on returns. My god, per punt return

2597
02:11:43,320 --> 02:11:45,680
Speaker 1: he'll he led the He is probably number one in

2598
02:11:45,680 --> 02:11:48,400
Speaker 1: the league and punt returns this week week one. But

2599
02:11:49,120 --> 02:11:51,959
Speaker 1: that and I said this on the broadcast with Murph yesterday.

2600
02:11:52,440 --> 02:11:55,000
Speaker 1: The thing you like about having a Pro Bowl caliber

2601
02:11:55,000 --> 02:11:56,760
Speaker 1: punt return isn't so much that you think he's gonna

2602
02:11:56,760 --> 02:11:59,360
Speaker 1: catch it and go the distance. He's always going to

2603
02:11:59,440 --> 02:12:01,800
Speaker 1: make the right decision. He'll run it when he has room,

2604
02:12:02,160 --> 02:12:04,480
Speaker 1: and he'll fair catch it when he needs to. And

2605
02:12:04,560 --> 02:12:06,720
Speaker 1: he makes the right decisions down deep in his own

2606
02:12:06,800 --> 02:12:08,440
Speaker 1: end whether to catch it, where it, let it bounce,

2607
02:12:08,480 --> 02:12:12,160
Speaker 1: judges the situation. When he's got great judgment, makes great decisions,

2608
02:12:12,200 --> 02:12:14,720
Speaker 1: and that is as important as anything he does now.

2609
02:12:14,760 --> 02:12:17,200
Speaker 1: And also he yesterday you saw he sprinkled in the

2610
02:12:17,200 --> 02:12:19,840
Speaker 1: ability to get big yardage after the catches. We almost

2611
02:12:19,880 --> 02:12:21,680
Speaker 1: got away a couple of times. He did almost a

2612
02:12:21,760 --> 02:12:24,480
Speaker 1: hair's breadth from breaking big ones. And that's where you

2613
02:12:24,680 --> 02:12:27,240
Speaker 1: exactly where you want to be. All in all, yesterday,

2614
02:12:27,400 --> 02:12:31,080
Speaker 1: with the exception of Tyler Bass's two miss field goals

2615
02:12:31,200 --> 02:12:34,120
Speaker 1: or one and a half miss field goals, the special

2616
02:12:34,160 --> 02:12:36,960
Speaker 1: teams was much better yesterday than they were last year.

2617
02:12:37,000 --> 02:12:40,880
Speaker 1: They seemed solid, they seemed their coverage was great, they

2618
02:12:40,920 --> 02:12:43,480
Speaker 1: were in section there. It was really good. They really

2619
02:12:43,520 --> 02:12:47,000
Speaker 1: played well. Bjorkes had one punt for fifty three yards

2620
02:12:47,040 --> 02:12:49,760
Speaker 1: and it was a fair catch. Perfect. Yeah. We also

2621
02:12:49,880 --> 02:12:52,840
Speaker 1: learned that there is nothing new to be learned about

2622
02:12:52,880 --> 02:12:56,200
Speaker 1: the injuries to Tremaine Edmonds and Matt Milano, who both

2623
02:12:56,280 --> 02:12:58,840
Speaker 1: left the game early yesterday. We hope that coach McDermott

2624
02:12:59,080 --> 02:13:01,240
Speaker 1: we'll be able to provide it's some kind of update

2625
02:13:01,280 --> 02:13:03,680
Speaker 1: at his four o'clock press conference today. Stay tuned to

2626
02:13:03,680 --> 02:13:06,760
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills dot com for updates on that. But we

2627
02:13:06,840 --> 02:13:09,640
Speaker 1: all have our fingers crossed that those are minor in nature.

2628
02:13:09,720 --> 02:13:14,000
Speaker 1: We'll see and there's a rash of soft tissue. We

2629
02:13:14,040 --> 02:13:16,120
Speaker 1: say soft tissue is a bunch of hamstrings all over

2630
02:13:16,160 --> 02:13:18,600
Speaker 1: the National Football League that popped up both in the game,

2631
02:13:18,680 --> 02:13:20,480
Speaker 1: in the week leading up to when they turned up

2632
02:13:20,520 --> 02:13:23,560
Speaker 1: the intensity of their preparation, and of course yesterday when

2633
02:13:23,560 --> 02:13:25,400
Speaker 1: everything was ratcheted all the way up. You got a

2634
02:13:25,400 --> 02:13:28,760
Speaker 1: bunch of guys going down with hamstring injuries. They kind

2635
02:13:28,760 --> 02:13:33,200
Speaker 1: of suspected it. We also had one achilles tear mar

2636
02:13:33,680 --> 02:13:36,960
Speaker 1: Marlon mack and running back for Indianapolis. They were afraid

2637
02:13:36,960 --> 02:13:39,280
Speaker 1: of that too because that happened in twenty eleven. So

2638
02:13:39,360 --> 02:13:40,720
Speaker 1: we'll keep an eye on that as we go along.

2639
02:13:40,720 --> 02:13:42,440
Speaker 1: All right, that'll do it for the Monday edition to

2640
02:13:42,440 --> 02:13:44,520
Speaker 1: the show. Our thanks to Jay Harris, Jeff Colton At,
