Isn't that dandy Chris Brown Steve 3 00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:40,360 Speaker 1: Tasker with you? 4 00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:44,080 Speaker 2: One Bill's Live Friday edition, Which means a whole host 5 00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:46,960 Speaker 2: of things, which we'll get into in just a second. 6 00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:51,640 Speaker 2: We do want to bring you up to speed on 7 00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:55,360 Speaker 2: the goings on with player availability for Sunday's game against 8 00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:59,120 Speaker 2: the Patriots. Head coach Sean McDermott, on his weekly appearance 9 00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:02,880 Speaker 2: on w g R here in Buffalo did lay it 10 00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:06,759 Speaker 2: out there are three players that he already ruled out 11 00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:10,240 Speaker 2: for a Sunday's game. They are Damien Harris, who remains 12 00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:13,240 Speaker 2: in the concussion protocol, tight end Quinton Morris with an 13 00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:17,520 Speaker 2: ankle injury, and Ed Oliver with the toe injury. What 14 00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:21,920 Speaker 2: was interesting was out during stretch at practice. Ed Oliver's 15 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:25,720 Speaker 2: out there with his helmet on, jogging around. So I'm 16 00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:28,360 Speaker 2: anticipating he's still going to be declared out when the 17 00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:32,120 Speaker 2: injury report comes out in about an hour. But it 18 00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:35,000 Speaker 2: was peculiar, say in the least, but maybe that's a 19 00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,759 Speaker 2: good sign. It means he's close but not quite ready 20 00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:40,400 Speaker 2: to play on Sunday. But we'll wait until the official 21 00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:45,080 Speaker 2: injury report is released. Bill's practice updates presented by Lee 22 00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:50,960 Speaker 2: coom Your Lake Erie, College of Ostia, Pathok Medicine. Josh 23 00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:54,560 Speaker 2: Allen full participant in practice yesterday and today. Greg Russau 24 00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:58,040 Speaker 2: back to full participation. That's all good news, So and 25 00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:00,240 Speaker 2: Dalton and Kate. It's going to be back in line 26 00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:02,520 Speaker 2: up after missing last week's game while he was in 27 00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:07,280 Speaker 2: the concussion protocol. So the numbers are better in several 28 00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:09,400 Speaker 2: of the positions. Actually, it's a wash at tight end 29 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:13,320 Speaker 2: with Quentin Morris out and kin Kid back up. You 30 00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:19,359 Speaker 2: and I we're watching Raiders Patriots Steve from last week. Yeah, 31 00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:22,600 Speaker 2: Holy crow, are the tight end's gonna eat this week? 32 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, it looks that way. They the Patriots struggled with 33 00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:28,919 Speaker 3: the Raiders tight end Murray. 34 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,240 Speaker 1: I mean the Patriots couldn't cover a house fire. 35 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:33,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean they were struggling. They had trouble keeping 36 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:35,560 Speaker 3: up with him. I think one of the things you 37 00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:37,880 Speaker 3: and I talked about, particularly with Ed Oliver being down 38 00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:41,720 Speaker 3: this week, the Kwan Jones already being out of the lineup. 39 00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,320 Speaker 3: I suspect the Patriots kind of try and run it 40 00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:50,320 Speaker 3: up inside us at two undersized, young, young and linebackers 41 00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:52,359 Speaker 3: and bills really like. But they're young and they're undersized. 42 00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:54,560 Speaker 3: I imagine the Patriots are going to go right at 43 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:57,640 Speaker 3: them offensively. I'm trying to get them into a bind, 44 00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:01,040 Speaker 3: whether to cover or to chase, or to bear up 45 00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:03,120 Speaker 3: on a big guard coming out on him, those kind 46 00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:07,000 Speaker 3: of things, particularly behind a defensive line that's without their 47 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:13,120 Speaker 3: two best players. That's how what I'm thinking about the Patriots. 48 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:14,880 Speaker 3: And then you know, Steph Diggs is gonna go ran. 49 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:17,359 Speaker 3: He's gonna have two Patriots in his in hip pockets. 50 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:19,840 Speaker 3: He'll get doubled all over the field. They do to 51 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:23,280 Speaker 3: him what they did to DeVante Adams, and he's gonna 52 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:27,880 Speaker 3: be up to Gabe Davis and Deontae Hardy, Kincaid and 53 00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:29,799 Speaker 3: Cook to pick up the slack. 54 00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:32,880 Speaker 4: Yeah. 55 00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:34,160 Speaker 2: I'm not discouraged by that. 56 00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:36,400 Speaker 3: No, I think that guys can do it. Yeah. 57 00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:38,400 Speaker 2: And the other thing, too, is you know, Jordan Phillips 58 00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:40,200 Speaker 2: is three hundred and forty one pounds. He's a tough 59 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,880 Speaker 2: man to move, so too is Poona Ford, who Mitch 60 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:46,640 Speaker 2: Morris described just like trying to flip over a flat rock, right. 61 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 2: He's so low to the ground, So it's not like 62 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 2: they're devoid of interior runs, stopping tall. 63 00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:52,920 Speaker 1: He's five to eleven. 64 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, he's not even six foot tall, and he's three 65 00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:58,880 Speaker 3: three bills easy and you can't get under him. He's 66 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,040 Speaker 3: really athletic. I mean, the guy can get low and 67 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:04,280 Speaker 3: lift and he's uses great leverage. He's got great explosion. 68 00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:06,880 Speaker 3: I mean, the guy's a pro football player and he's 69 00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:10,320 Speaker 3: five to eleven playing down the defensive line. He's special 70 00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:16,279 Speaker 3: in some ways, you know. So it's yeah, we'll see, let's. 71 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:17,520 Speaker 1: See if they can do it, hopefully. 72 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:22,159 Speaker 2: I wasn't all that impressed with New England's offensive line, which, 73 00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:26,839 Speaker 2: in fairness, has had four different offensive line combinations in 74 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:27,679 Speaker 2: six games. 75 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:29,120 Speaker 1: So they've been. 76 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,200 Speaker 2: Kind of shuffling that thing almost every week, and they're 77 00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:34,760 Speaker 2: doing it with some undrafted players. It hasn't been pretty, 78 00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:37,440 Speaker 2: and they just don't get a consistent push up front 79 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 2: at all. This week's game against the Patriots is presented 80 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:45,280 Speaker 2: by Ticketmaster. Ticketmaster, the official ticket marketplace of the NFL. 81 00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:49,960 Speaker 2: On yesterday's show, as we do every Thursday, we had 82 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:54,240 Speaker 2: the Football Relationship Hotline Steve, and we like to think 83 00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:57,400 Speaker 2: we helped a number of people yesterday with their football 84 00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:02,000 Speaker 2: viewing priorities when the rest of their life gets in 85 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:05,080 Speaker 2: the way.

And then we got 191 00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:19,240 Speaker 2: all kinds of things like soundbits presented by Tim Horton's 192 00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:21,800 Speaker 2: where we hear from the players in terms of what 193 00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:25,840 Speaker 2: they're anticipating for the game this week, and we've also 194 00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:28,920 Speaker 2: got vision to victory and everything else. But what do 195 00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:32,720 Speaker 2: we have, chiefly in our number two, Steve senior producer 196 00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:35,720 Speaker 2: from NFL Films, Greg Cosell, who joins us every week 197 00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:38,400 Speaker 2: to chop up the upcoming game. So we look forward 198 00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:41,840 Speaker 2: to that conversation in our number two. But any questions 199 00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:44,200 Speaker 2: you have on your mind about the Bills, the league 200 00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:46,320 Speaker 2: at large, whatever, you give us a call at eight 201 00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:48,880 Speaker 2: h three oh five fifty one eight eight eight five 202 00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:51,959 Speaker 2: fifty two five fifty the number to get on board, Steve, 203 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:56,400 Speaker 2: who do you think starts at the two defensive tackle 204 00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:59,840 Speaker 2: positions on Sunday against the Patriots? Knowing Ed Oliver has 205 00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:04,520 Speaker 2: been declared out by head coach Sean McDermott, Jordan Phillips 206 00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:07,240 Speaker 2: started alongside Ed Sunday night last week. 207 00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:13,440 Speaker 3: I think it'll be Jordan Phillips, Tim Saddle, okay, and 208 00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:19,079 Speaker 3: then they'll be spelled by Poona Ford and Kendall Vickers. 209 00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:24,720 Speaker 2: Right, yeah, I mean you're down to three healthy guys 210 00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:31,640 Speaker 2: right on the active roster. I wonder, yeah, I wonder 211 00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:34,320 Speaker 2: if you stick with just three DT's. 212 00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:35,800 Speaker 1: Here's the other thing I'm wondering, Steve. 213 00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:39,640 Speaker 2: And incidentally, head coach Sean McDermott on Wednesday, he said 214 00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:41,760 Speaker 2: he thought Jordan Phillips played his. 215 00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:43,480 Speaker 1: Best game of the season last week. 216 00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:47,160 Speaker 2: I think people forget the guy had off season shoulder surgery. 217 00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:50,680 Speaker 2: Guy was rehabbing most of the offseason, not playing football 218 00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:55,400 Speaker 2: or practicing and playing football through the OTAs in mini camp, 219 00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:59,800 Speaker 2: and so I think he's just starting to round into form, 220 00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:02,480 Speaker 2: which could not come at a better time right light 221 00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:05,920 Speaker 2: of how shorthanded they are. So that's encouraging because I 222 00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:08,000 Speaker 2: think people forget this is a guy that in twenty 223 00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:09,960 Speaker 2: nineteen at nine and a half sacks for this team. 224 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:13,440 Speaker 2: That's the biggest sax season since twenty fourteen for the Bills, 225 00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:17,199 Speaker 2: or no, sorry, since twenty sixteen, because that was the 226 00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:19,400 Speaker 2: year Lorenzo Alexander at twelve and a half. 227 00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:23,960 Speaker 3: Sacks, right, Yeah, Jordan Phillips is a huge piece of 228 00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:27,400 Speaker 3: what they've got left to field. I mean, there's always 229 00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:29,920 Speaker 3: an outside chance that maybe Daykon Jones could get back 230 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:34,200 Speaker 3: late in the season, you know, yeah, off a torn 231 00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:37,080 Speaker 3: peck yees six weeks, possible six weeks for the surgery 232 00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:41,880 Speaker 3: to heal up, a couple of weeks to train, another 233 00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:44,520 Speaker 3: couple of weeks to practice. He's looking at ten weeks 234 00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:47,200 Speaker 3: so late in the season for the playoffs. Maybe he 235 00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:50,600 Speaker 3: could get back and help, which would be just at 236 00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:52,000 Speaker 3: the right time. He's still on the roster. 237 00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:55,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, coach McDermott Saidy was around the facility this week. 238 00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:57,240 Speaker 2: He apparently already had surgery. 239 00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:59,120 Speaker 3: I had a chance to talk and that's how I 240 00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:01,760 Speaker 3: know the thing. Chance to talk to him. Briefly he says, Yeah, 241 00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:04,040 Speaker 3: you know, I go. You know, what are the chance 242 00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:06,160 Speaker 3: you thinking coming back? He was in that's wake players 243 00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:08,559 Speaker 3: are goues. Oh yeah, I definitely I'm going to try 244 00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:11,160 Speaker 3: and get back this year, because when you're fresh off 245 00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:14,959 Speaker 3: an injury, you always think that you don't decide. You 246 00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:17,160 Speaker 3: don't give it up until the bitter end. So right, 247 00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:19,960 Speaker 3: whether it's close or whether it's a possibility remains to 248 00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:22,000 Speaker 3: be seen, but certainly that's where his mind is. 249 00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:23,680 Speaker 1: So that's good news. 250 00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:26,000 Speaker 2: But yeah, I think you've got to have a practice 251 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:29,280 Speaker 2: squad elevation. We would presume it's Kendall Vickers, who played 252 00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:32,400 Speaker 2: pretty well against the Jaguars in Week five as a 253 00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:34,559 Speaker 2: call up, played a lot more than even he anticipated. 254 00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:37,079 Speaker 2: I think after the guys that did go down due 255 00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:40,960 Speaker 2: to injury, including day Kwon Jones, Kingsley, Jonathan was in 256 00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,640 Speaker 2: and out. Jack Lawson was inactive, so was Greg Russeau. 257 00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:46,520 Speaker 2: So yeah, it was all hands on deck that week. 258 00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:49,680 Speaker 2: They did add another defensive tackle about two weeks ago 259 00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:51,960 Speaker 2: on the practice squad in the form of Andrew Brown, 260 00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:55,160 Speaker 2: who's bounced around the league a little bit. I wonder 261 00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:57,839 Speaker 2: if they elevate just one defensive tackle or two. If 262 00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:00,040 Speaker 2: they elevate too, that probably means a defensive end and 263 00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:04,080 Speaker 2: that's healthy is sitting. But we'll have to see what 264 00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:10,240 Speaker 2: they ultimately decide come Sunday. And then you look at 265 00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:13,959 Speaker 2: the cornerback situation, Steve. The good news is Dame Jackson 266 00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:16,600 Speaker 2: is back to a full practice participant from the foot 267 00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:18,800 Speaker 2: injury that kept him out of last week's game, So 268 00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:22,920 Speaker 2: you would hope he's good to go on Sunday. And 269 00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:25,280 Speaker 2: then it's just a matter of where is Kyrie Elam's 270 00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:28,080 Speaker 2: designation because he has been limited all week with an 271 00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:31,440 Speaker 2: ankle injury, So is he going to be fit enough 272 00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:35,040 Speaker 2: to dress and play if needed. You know, with Benford 273 00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:37,880 Speaker 2: and Jackson healthy, you would assume those two are starting 274 00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:40,960 Speaker 2: based on how the coaching staff has lined these guys 275 00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:44,920 Speaker 2: up when healthy. But you want to know that you 276 00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:48,680 Speaker 2: have Elam in your back pocket. You know, should Jackson 277 00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:51,880 Speaker 2: god forbid aggravate his foot injury again or something of 278 00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:54,760 Speaker 2: that name. Yeah, well, I mean you have JaMarcus Ingram 279 00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:57,400 Speaker 2: too that you can elevate off the practice squad, But 280 00:14:57,440 --> 00:14:57,840 Speaker 2: there you are. 281 00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:00,400 Speaker 3: Yeah. Well, we've already seen that movie once this season 282 00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:03,440 Speaker 3: where when when Tredavious and Dane went down on the 283 00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:07,760 Speaker 3: same game. So I'm sorry Ben for Benford and Tredavious 284 00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:12,640 Speaker 3: went down on the same game. So the cautionary, the 285 00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:16,560 Speaker 3: caution is is warranted. But you look down at thet 286 00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:20,280 Speaker 3: this injury report is getting better for the Bills, no question. 287 00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:25,000 Speaker 3: They got three guys that were limited yesterday that are 288 00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:28,240 Speaker 3: going full, so it's getting better. And then a bunch 289 00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:30,360 Speaker 3: of guys that were out last week that are that 290 00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:34,280 Speaker 3: are now full and have been full all week. So well, 291 00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:36,640 Speaker 3: it's like, you know, let's ride this roller coaster, you know, 292 00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:38,560 Speaker 3: because they'll be guys. There'll be guys that are added 293 00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:41,640 Speaker 3: to this injury list after this game that we don't 294 00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:43,080 Speaker 3: know about yet, so we'll see. 295 00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:46,320 Speaker 2: Let's dip into the Friday fan mail bag here to 296 00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:49,560 Speaker 2: get some of your questions answered. Rubio asks, do you 297 00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:52,240 Speaker 2: have any insight as to why Cook didn't start last 298 00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:54,280 Speaker 2: week and then proceeded to get zero targets. 299 00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:57,960 Speaker 1: I wouldn't put much stock in the non start. 300 00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:01,360 Speaker 2: That's largely tied to, you know, an opening script for 301 00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:04,800 Speaker 2: the game plan, and if it was Latavius Murray or 302 00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:06,360 Speaker 2: Damien Harris, I can't even remember. 303 00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:08,720 Speaker 1: It really doesn't hold a lot of water. 304 00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:13,080 Speaker 2: As for his zero targets, though, that is something that 305 00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:17,280 Speaker 2: I noticed as well, and I think it was partially 306 00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:22,400 Speaker 2: a byproduct of Josh force feeding Stefan Diggs, who had 307 00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:27,960 Speaker 2: twelve targets out of sixteen passes by halftime. For Josh, 308 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:33,840 Speaker 2: he was targeting Steph inordinately at an inordinately high rate, 309 00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:37,840 Speaker 2: and we all noticed it. We were all talking about 310 00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:41,960 Speaker 2: it at halftime. And when you're targeting one guy that much, 311 00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:44,360 Speaker 2: other guys don't get opportunities. And I think Cook was 312 00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:47,240 Speaker 2: one of those victims. And I think after I want 313 00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:51,960 Speaker 2: to believe Steve, after watching the film, that the offensive 314 00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:57,640 Speaker 2: staff will make an effort to get Cook more involved 315 00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:00,880 Speaker 2: in the passing game because you and I, as I 316 00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:05,520 Speaker 2: just said earlier, we're watching this Raiders Patriots game tape. 317 00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:09,159 Speaker 2: Patriots might be the slowest defense I've seen all season. 318 00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:14,680 Speaker 2: They are painfully slow, and I think if you get 319 00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:17,280 Speaker 2: Cook out in space on the edges, I think you 320 00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:19,000 Speaker 2: can make some people miss and get you some nice 321 00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:20,000 Speaker 2: yards after the catch. 322 00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:23,639 Speaker 3: I really do. Yeah, well, yeah, we've been saying that 323 00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:27,160 Speaker 3: for a minute though. I mean, that's right. I'm I'm 324 00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:30,359 Speaker 3: we're kind of all ready for that. He did snap 325 00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:32,080 Speaker 3: off a couple of runs. We're watching here now in 326 00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:32,480 Speaker 3: the in. 327 00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:34,199 Speaker 1: The studio where yeah, against the Giants. 328 00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:36,760 Speaker 3: Cook snapped off some really nice runs against the Giants, 329 00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:41,159 Speaker 3: and so did Latavious Murray. They got it going a 330 00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:43,760 Speaker 3: little bit, but it was a little too few and 331 00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:46,200 Speaker 3: far between in that game. As we all know, they 332 00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:49,760 Speaker 3: only scored two touchdowns. It was painful, it was It 333 00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:53,600 Speaker 3: was a painful game offensively despite the targets that Steph 334 00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:56,040 Speaker 3: Diggs had. You know, this is a team that needs 335 00:17:56,080 --> 00:18:00,000 Speaker 3: to get more efficient and stay on the field and 336 00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,680 Speaker 3: get off to a little faster start and start making 337 00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:05,480 Speaker 3: getting some yardage early in games. I think it helps, 338 00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:08,920 Speaker 3: It helps everybody forget about the fans site or we're 339 00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:13,760 Speaker 3: out here, you know, jumping up and down. We're losing 340 00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:15,360 Speaker 3: our minds out here because they can't get a first 341 00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:19,000 Speaker 3: down in their first two series and they're they're kind 342 00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:21,080 Speaker 3: of the same way. You start and get out. You 343 00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:23,320 Speaker 3: get out there, you feel like everything you do is 344 00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:28,280 Speaker 3: gonna work. And it's a mindset. But spreading the targets 345 00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:32,920 Speaker 3: around seems easy to me. And it's we've talked about 346 00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:37,560 Speaker 3: it all week. It's not a Ken Dorsey issue. It's 347 00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:39,320 Speaker 3: a Josh Allen Steph Diggs ish Yeah. 348 00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:40,120 Speaker 1: Decision making. 349 00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:42,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, and we saw when they were highly 350 00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:45,399 Speaker 2: efficient between weeks two and four. They targeted nine, eight 351 00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:48,200 Speaker 2: and nine different players through the course of the games. 352 00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:51,040 Speaker 1: And that's gone away the last couple of weeks. 353 00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:55,639 Speaker 2: And just get cook out on a swing route, you know, 354 00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:57,360 Speaker 2: out in the flat in space. 355 00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:00,000 Speaker 1: Well, you get a receiver out there blocking in front 356 00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:00,280 Speaker 1: of them. 357 00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:02,239 Speaker 3: I don't care. I don't care what route it is, 358 00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:04,439 Speaker 3: whether it's a flat route, a swing route, or a 359 00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:07,280 Speaker 3: middle screen or you know, put him out, split him outide, 360 00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:09,159 Speaker 3: let him un a deep dig I don't care. But 361 00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:11,600 Speaker 3: you got to get somebody else involved because it changes 362 00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:16,280 Speaker 3: the mindset of the defense and they start to have 363 00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:19,120 Speaker 3: they start to get their plate too full. They're like, okay, 364 00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:21,800 Speaker 3: well through to that guy, last time he's thrown to 365 00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:24,000 Speaker 3: all these guys At some point what are we gonna do? Right? 366 00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:25,760 Speaker 3: They start looking around and it's like a guy who's 367 00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:28,399 Speaker 3: already caught a pass against him and they're like, Okay, 368 00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:31,920 Speaker 3: who are we gonna look at? They don't know. Now. 369 00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:34,240 Speaker 3: Certainly they've got calls and everybody's got an assignment of 370 00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:37,800 Speaker 3: where they're going to be, But it's a thing defensively 371 00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:40,280 Speaker 3: when you're out there and it's like, man, he's like, 372 00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:42,480 Speaker 3: we got to cover everything, you know. 373 00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:46,120 Speaker 2: The other question that we have in the mail bag 374 00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:48,600 Speaker 2: comes from Ed. Are the Bills going to be contenders 375 00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:55,360 Speaker 2: or pretenders at the NFL trade deadline? Any think of that? 376 00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:58,040 Speaker 1: Is there anything you'd like to see them? 377 00:19:58,040 --> 00:19:58,320 Speaker 4: Ad? 378 00:19:58,640 --> 00:19:59,920 Speaker 3: Pretenders? Are contender? 379 00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:01,760 Speaker 1: I mean are they gonna swing a deal at the 380 00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:02,440 Speaker 1: trade deadline? 381 00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:02,880 Speaker 3: Basically? 382 00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:03,800 Speaker 4: Is that question? No? 383 00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:04,480 Speaker 3: I don't think so. 384 00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:05,119 Speaker 1: You don't think so. 385 00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:08,280 Speaker 2: There they don't have a lot of cap space, so 386 00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:10,520 Speaker 2: if they wanted to do something, they would have to 387 00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:11,160 Speaker 2: be creative. 388 00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:14,520 Speaker 3: They're not gonna get Davante Adams. They're not gonna get 389 00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:20,440 Speaker 3: DeAndre Hopkins. They're not gonna get who named Ezekiel Elliott 390 00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:22,520 Speaker 3: from the Patriots? I mean, who are they gonna get? 391 00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:26,040 Speaker 3: I think that people are not gonna get Adam Thielen. No, 392 00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:28,560 Speaker 3: they're not gonna get obj. 393 00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:32,720 Speaker 2: What do you think of Hunter Renfro slot receiver for 394 00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:34,639 Speaker 2: the Raiders who's barely playing? 395 00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:37,920 Speaker 3: No, No, he's he's as old as you. 396 00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:40,520 Speaker 1: I don't think he is. You don't think he's only 397 00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:41,679 Speaker 1: a fourth or fifty year player. 398 00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:43,280 Speaker 3: I don't know. 399 00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:44,120 Speaker 1: I'll have to check. 400 00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:46,320 Speaker 3: I don't know if he can't. 401 00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:46,920 Speaker 1: I don't think he's thirty. 402 00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:50,200 Speaker 3: Yet. They're running the same offense that get that made 403 00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:54,400 Speaker 3: Julian Edelman and Wes Welker famous. Why can't that guy 404 00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:55,280 Speaker 3: play slot for them? 405 00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:58,200 Speaker 2: Well, that's that's a very curious question, one to which 406 00:20:58,240 --> 00:20:59,160 Speaker 2: I do not have an answer. 407 00:20:59,160 --> 00:20:59,840 Speaker 1: He's twenty seven. 408 00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:02,399 Speaker 3: Why can't that guy play out in that offense that 409 00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:06,280 Speaker 3: made Julian Edelman and Wes Welker household names. 410 00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:09,040 Speaker 2: I'm just I'm just throwing names out there that are 411 00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:09,960 Speaker 2: at affordable price. 412 00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:12,600 Speaker 1: I think, if. 413 00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:14,399 Speaker 3: You're going to trade for somebody, who's it going to be? 414 00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:16,479 Speaker 1: I don't know. 415 00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:18,720 Speaker 3: And what are you going to give up? No? I 416 00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:21,440 Speaker 3: don't think so. Okay, I don't think so. We don't 417 00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:26,280 Speaker 3: need to. We're a it's a deep roster. It's still 418 00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:29,399 Speaker 3: less than halfway through the football season. We've lost a 419 00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:31,399 Speaker 3: couple of key players, no question about it, but as 420 00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:37,639 Speaker 3: of now it has not hurt us, and we got offensively, particular, 421 00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:41,040 Speaker 3: the defensive side is the one with the injuries. Offense 422 00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:47,000 Speaker 3: has been the slow starters. The defense continues to hum along. 423 00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:52,040 Speaker 3: So I'm no, I'm fine, all right, I'm fine. What 424 00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:53,680 Speaker 3: about you? 425 00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:55,560 Speaker 2: You know, if you want to kick the tires on somebody, 426 00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:58,000 Speaker 2: or there's an opportunity that presents itself, I'll listen to. 427 00:21:58,080 --> 00:21:59,720 Speaker 1: I would listen to. What can I think Brandon Bean 428 00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:00,240 Speaker 1: would too. 429 00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:02,840 Speaker 3: Could you get like a Pat Certan from Denver? 430 00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:05,560 Speaker 2: Well, yeah, now you're talking because that's a guy that's 431 00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:08,080 Speaker 2: still on a rookie contract for this year and next year. 432 00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:11,119 Speaker 3: And he's he's the dude and they're in like full 433 00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:15,600 Speaker 3: out fire sale. Maybe, well, Pattans, you can get a 434 00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:17,520 Speaker 3: guy like that on a rookie contract with you? 435 00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:17,840 Speaker 5: Yeah? 436 00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:25,200 Speaker 3: Maybe? Yeah, particularly with Trey. 437 00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:24,120 Speaker 2: I don't know what he's gonna look like even when 438 00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:29,679 Speaker 2: he does come back, right, I don't know. Dollars in 439 00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:32,000 Speaker 2: dollars out, you know, do you have to send dollars 440 00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:34,040 Speaker 2: the other way in the form of a player, or 441 00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:35,800 Speaker 2: is it good enough to just part with a pick. 442 00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:38,120 Speaker 1: You know, it's a decision you got to make there. 443 00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:41,320 Speaker 3: But yeah, it depends on the compensation obviously. 444 00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:45,000 Speaker 1: Yep. Uh so we'll see. I guess is the answer there. 445 00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:47,800 Speaker 2: David asks, not related to our upcoming game, but didn't 446 00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:49,560 Speaker 2: the Bill show the NFL a blueprint of how to 447 00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:53,160 Speaker 2: beat Miami? Why aren't other teams trying the same strategy. Well, 448 00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:55,080 Speaker 2: it's easier said than done. I mean, the Bills have 449 00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:59,600 Speaker 2: an all world quarterback and scored forty eight points. They 450 00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:03,840 Speaker 2: also have a top five defense that has the talent 451 00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:08,919 Speaker 2: to slow down Miami and played a discipline brand of 452 00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:12,320 Speaker 2: defense where they didn't buy all the eye candy and 453 00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:15,800 Speaker 2: rallied effectively to the football. That doesn't mean that Miami 454 00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:19,520 Speaker 2: didn't have some big plays, but I think it just 455 00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:21,600 Speaker 2: shows you it's easier said than done. 456 00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:24,120 Speaker 1: The Bills got I mean they're ready to set records. 457 00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:28,040 Speaker 3: They are. I mean they're averaging at home this season 458 00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:31,320 Speaker 3: in three games, the Miami Dolphins have had forty seven points. Yeah, 459 00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:33,800 Speaker 3: they can ring it up. They're very good. We know 460 00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:37,440 Speaker 3: it to has to be in the conversation for MVP 461 00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:40,600 Speaker 3: right now, has to be has to be whether you 462 00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:43,520 Speaker 3: like Miami, whether you're you gotta it's like, you gotta 463 00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:49,200 Speaker 3: respect it, you gotta respect it. And the Bills ran 464 00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:51,480 Speaker 3: it up on them because they were really, really good 465 00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:54,440 Speaker 3: that day on both sides of the ball, and Miami's 466 00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:56,840 Speaker 3: defense couldn't hold up and the Bill's defense held up better. 467 00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:59,959 Speaker 3: Remember it got out. It was Bill's touchdown, Miami touchdown, 468 00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:05,960 Speaker 3: Bill's touchdown, Bills touchdown. And then Miami's faltered when the 469 00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:07,879 Speaker 3: Bills got them off the field and they scored again. 470 00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:13,760 Speaker 3: So now they're up two touchdowns. And then Miami faltered 471 00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:16,040 Speaker 3: once more before halftime, and the Bills attacked a field 472 00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:21,800 Speaker 3: goal on It was thirty one fourteen at half. It 473 00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:26,119 Speaker 3: takes a full roster to beat Miami. And this just 474 00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:27,840 Speaker 3: in Brownie and I have been sitting here for months 475 00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:30,200 Speaker 3: telling you this is a full roster. The Bills are deep. 476 00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:34,960 Speaker 3: It's been tested, no question, but they're deep, and not 477 00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:37,720 Speaker 3: many teams can pull off the kind of game plan 478 00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:41,439 Speaker 3: and performance that the Bill's defense can and the Bill's 479 00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:42,679 Speaker 3: offense in conjunction with it. 480 00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:49,639 Speaker 2: Jay Lesh says, is there something going on with Josh's vision? 481 00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:54,040 Speaker 2: Does he have issues tracking in his periphery? He appears 482 00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:57,399 Speaker 2: to be not seeing open receivers at times, or is 483 00:24:57,400 --> 00:25:00,800 Speaker 2: it a trust issue. It's a good question, you know. 484 00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:03,680 Speaker 2: I don't think his peripheral vision is the problem here. 485 00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:08,280 Speaker 2: I think it's his decision making. He there are times, 486 00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:13,360 Speaker 2: especially when the offense sputters. We've seen this before, when 487 00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:16,879 Speaker 2: the offense sputters and they're not in a rhythm, Josh 488 00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:18,479 Speaker 2: tries to get it all in one play. 489 00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:19,560 Speaker 1: What does that mean? 490 00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:23,560 Speaker 2: That means when he has a three level concept on 491 00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:28,919 Speaker 2: a given pass play, he's looking deep first, and sometimes 492 00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:31,240 Speaker 2: we'll hang on that deep route and wait on it, 493 00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:33,760 Speaker 2: even if he's got a guy running underneath for a 494 00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:37,200 Speaker 2: free fifteen yards. He's been doing that for three seasons. 495 00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:42,600 Speaker 2: During his high efficiency weeks two through four, he did 496 00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:45,119 Speaker 2: not do that. He was more willing to take the 497 00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:48,280 Speaker 2: check down. He was taking the easy yards, the high 498 00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:51,880 Speaker 2: percentage throws. But then he kind of fell back into 499 00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:55,520 Speaker 2: that trap against Jacksonville to some extent, and then last 500 00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:56,680 Speaker 2: week against the Giants. 501 00:25:57,280 --> 00:25:59,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, he did it on opening night at the Jets 502 00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:04,520 Speaker 3: as well and turned into interceptions. And and he has 503 00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:07,040 Speaker 3: done a really nice job of getting away from that 504 00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:11,879 Speaker 3: for the most part, but every so often, particularly in 505 00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:16,160 Speaker 3: the game. You can just tell there are situations where 506 00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:19,800 Speaker 3: he he's thinking what we needed here or I got 507 00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:22,440 Speaker 3: to have it here, and he'll go deep. But when 508 00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:24,440 Speaker 3: it's a close gamer, when the Bills have the lead, 509 00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:26,840 Speaker 3: he tends to relax and just say I'm just gonna 510 00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:29,399 Speaker 3: take the easy stuff. That's why getting off to a 511 00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:31,480 Speaker 3: fast start I think is so important for this club 512 00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:34,119 Speaker 3: because it doesn't put him in that mind get him 513 00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:37,000 Speaker 3: in that mindset where he's like, we gotta come on, man, 514 00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:40,040 Speaker 3: let's go, and then it gets worse, not better. 515 00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:41,720 Speaker 1: As it pertains to the trust question. 516 00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:45,720 Speaker 3: Steve, I'm no psychologist, but that's my opinion when. 517 00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:46,800 Speaker 1: It comes to the trust issue. 518 00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:47,119 Speaker 3: Steve. 519 00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:51,800 Speaker 2: We noted this in the offseason, the roster at receiver 520 00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:56,280 Speaker 2: turned over considerably. The only returning players from last year's 521 00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:59,880 Speaker 2: roster at the receiver position were Diggs, Davis, and Shakir. 522 00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:05,080 Speaker 2: Is it any coincidence that the top two targeted players 523 00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:09,960 Speaker 2: are Diggs and Davis. Kinkaid is new He's gotten a 524 00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:12,840 Speaker 2: ton of reps with Josh, but miss last week's game 525 00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:19,639 Speaker 2: has largely been catching underneath rows. Knox's targets are down, 526 00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:25,760 Speaker 2: and you know you've got Shaquir who's shown up here 527 00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:28,080 Speaker 2: and there, but Hardy and Sherfield have really had a 528 00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:30,600 Speaker 2: tough time getting assimilated into. 529 00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:31,120 Speaker 1: The passing game. 530 00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:31,720 Speaker 3: Right. 531 00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:34,840 Speaker 1: Uh, do you call that trust or is it something 532 00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:35,560 Speaker 1: else at work? 533 00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:36,119 Speaker 4: Do you believe? 534 00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:36,399 Speaker 1: No? 535 00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:38,520 Speaker 3: I think that's you can call it trust. I don't 536 00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:42,719 Speaker 3: think there's any question it's it has something to do 537 00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:47,959 Speaker 3: with the relationship the way Josh sees it, assimilating them 538 00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:52,800 Speaker 3: into the offense, trying to run on this that offense 539 00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:57,040 Speaker 3: of theirs with new skill sets around him. I think 540 00:27:57,080 --> 00:28:00,719 Speaker 3: it's too easy and probably probably not true for us 541 00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:04,240 Speaker 3: to sit here and say, well, Deontay hard is just 542 00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:06,760 Speaker 3: like Isaiah Mackenzie was. Now don't they use him the 543 00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:09,119 Speaker 3: same way? And it may not very well not be 544 00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:11,840 Speaker 3: the case. They might have a very different skill set 545 00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:15,679 Speaker 3: just because you know the same type of athletic ability 546 00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:18,640 Speaker 3: and stuff, you have different skill sets. So I think 547 00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:21,040 Speaker 3: it's too complex a question for us to know without 548 00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:25,240 Speaker 3: actually getting in there and seeing it. But something's different 549 00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:28,360 Speaker 3: the last couple of weeks anyway, for that week's two 550 00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:31,080 Speaker 3: through four, two three and four, it was better than 551 00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:35,000 Speaker 3: it's ever been. You know, they need to get back 552 00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:38,720 Speaker 3: to that. I need to find a way to reconstitute 553 00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:40,800 Speaker 3: that offense right back on the field. 554 00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:44,600 Speaker 2: We have to step aside here, but when we come back, 555 00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:48,120 Speaker 2: it'll be a little bit of excuse me, mister Tasker. 556 00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:52,560 Speaker 2: We'll see which is the winning question for Steve to 557 00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:55,760 Speaker 2: respond to when we return here.

Kent was one of the unsung heroes 575 00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:10,120 Speaker 2: during the Bills Super Bowl years. Can you tell us 576 00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:13,040 Speaker 2: more about your former teammate?

He was universally respected in our locker room, 580 00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:30,720 Speaker 3: spoken a Southern in a Mississippi drawl. Really, there's two 581 00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:34,160 Speaker 3: different things. Intelligence and wisdom are two different things. He 582 00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:39,120 Speaker 3: had oodles of both of those. His nickname was tough, 583 00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:41,680 Speaker 3: and that was all They called him tough, and that 584 00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:45,680 Speaker 3: gives you an idea of who he was. The Five 585 00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:48,440 Speaker 3: Presidents text loop that I'm a part of, just a 586 00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:55,080 Speaker 3: few days ago commemorated his passing. It's been now, it's 587 00:30:55,400 --> 00:31:00,520 Speaker 3: twelve years since he passed, and we all had a 588 00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:03,360 Speaker 3: round of his sorrow to see him go. He died 589 00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:06,840 Speaker 3: all too young, and Kent left behind his wife and 590 00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:15,680 Speaker 3: his two children. Kay, his wife, and you know, when 591 00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:17,520 Speaker 3: you play this game the way we did, and we 592 00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:19,160 Speaker 3: had this group of guys that went and did some 593 00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:23,120 Speaker 3: cool stuff together. Certain guys carried played a big role 594 00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:25,960 Speaker 3: in that Kent's role was that I saw the guy 595 00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:30,160 Speaker 3: in a training camp getting a fight with Bruce Smith 596 00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:36,600 Speaker 3: for the right reason, but still, you know, it was 597 00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:41,480 Speaker 3: just that kind of guy. Then they were close, and 598 00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:44,920 Speaker 3: word is passing. I can't really say enough about Kent. 599 00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:47,440 Speaker 3: He's the guy that came in signed the exact same 600 00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:50,360 Speaker 3: day as Jim Kelly. And the story he always told 601 00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:53,440 Speaker 3: was the gym had the drive the limousine and they 602 00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:56,520 Speaker 3: were driving from the airport to the to the stadium 603 00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:59,479 Speaker 3: and stuff, and Kent was in the equipment van behind 604 00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:03,960 Speaker 3: and some panel truck behind riding behind the limo, yep, 605 00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:09,040 Speaker 3: and he was okay with it. He he had story 606 00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:12,760 Speaker 3: after story like that about he was a Mississippi State 607 00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:16,040 Speaker 3: graduate Hall of Fame when he came back, when he 608 00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:18,520 Speaker 3: came into Buffalo the first time he told the story 609 00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:21,880 Speaker 3: he was Jim Ringo, the Hall of Fame Green Bay 610 00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:26,920 Speaker 3: Packer who Jim Ringo's on the Hall of Fame with 611 00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:30,440 Speaker 3: the Packers and with the Philadelphia Eagles. Uh, he was 612 00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:33,960 Speaker 3: the offensive coordinator when I arrived here. So the Bills 613 00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:36,280 Speaker 3: hire this is this is kind of how chaotic it 614 00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:41,000 Speaker 3: was back in the day. They hire Kent and another guy, 615 00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:45,040 Speaker 3: Kent as center, the other guy's guard. They're coming out 616 00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:49,160 Speaker 3: and Kent was so, can you know had some chops. 617 00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:51,880 Speaker 3: He'd played in the USA, the US. Yeah, he was, 618 00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:56,280 Speaker 3: you know, a respected player, but he was he was silent. 619 00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:58,400 Speaker 3: He was not going to He would never speak up 620 00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:00,520 Speaker 3: and say hey, you got that wrong kind of thing. 621 00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:02,640 Speaker 3: He was always like, just let you figure it out 622 00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:04,920 Speaker 3: that you were the one who was the donkey. 623 00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:05,200 Speaker 6: Right. 624 00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:11,360 Speaker 3: So Jim Ringo, who is iconic now his offensive coordinator, 625 00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:13,160 Speaker 3: he's out there and he's talking, and Jim Ringo was 626 00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:16,000 Speaker 3: kind of he was as salty as they come. And 627 00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:18,400 Speaker 3: these two guys get it and I don't even know 628 00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:19,720 Speaker 3: who the guard was, but it was Kent in this 629 00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:22,160 Speaker 3: guard and Ringo got him confused, thought Kent was the 630 00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:26,680 Speaker 3: guard and this other guy was the sinner. So he 631 00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:29,080 Speaker 3: gets out and he goes and he's, you know, you 632 00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:31,520 Speaker 3: can just had a game or practice. Is first time 633 00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:35,040 Speaker 3: they met. Oh okay, is that a practice And he goes, yeah, 634 00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:37,000 Speaker 3: let me see your stand get and he said the 635 00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:39,080 Speaker 3: guard getting just get in the guard, get down the guard, 636 00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:42,360 Speaker 3: give me your stance out. So Kid's like, I don't 637 00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:45,280 Speaker 3: even have a guard stance. I don't even I don't 638 00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:48,440 Speaker 3: know which hand to put down. So he gets down 639 00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:52,120 Speaker 3: in the stands and Ringo loses it. He's gotta what 640 00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:56,200 Speaker 3: you do.

Kent was 654 00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:46,120 Speaker 3: the smartest dude you'll ever meet, and he just would 655 00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:48,359 Speaker 3: He was not he was not gonna go there. 656 00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:48,759 Speaker 6: I know. 657 00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:53,920 Speaker 2: The media relied heavily on Kent to paint the picture 658 00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:56,520 Speaker 2: of what was going on with the team, whether it 659 00:34:56,600 --> 00:35:01,200 Speaker 2: was good or whether it was bad, media members would 660 00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:07,080 Speaker 2: gravitate to his locker to get answers, you know, basically 661 00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:09,600 Speaker 2: lay it out for us, what is going on here? 662 00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:13,760 Speaker 2: Is this a full blown crisis? And what he said 663 00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:17,279 Speaker 2: was taken as gospel by the media. And I don't 664 00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:19,280 Speaker 2: know if Kent decided, well, you know, let me snow 665 00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:21,640 Speaker 2: these guys, but more often than not, it felt like 666 00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:25,040 Speaker 2: he was giving it to you straight. So I always 667 00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:28,360 Speaker 2: found that interesting because, yeah, I was, you know, I 668 00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:30,560 Speaker 2: was a young reporter near the end of his career, 669 00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:34,279 Speaker 2: in your career obviously, and just seeing how often the 670 00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:39,720 Speaker 2: veteran reporters flocked to Kent's locker was noticeable right away. 671 00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:46,040 Speaker 3: Was spoken a southern drawl and didn't speak very much, 672 00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:50,759 Speaker 3: but was a brilliant communicator. Yeah, all that stuff kind 673 00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:56,160 Speaker 3: of seemed like a dichotomy, but it really was true. 674 00:35:56,680 --> 00:35:59,680 Speaker 3: He got to the core of the truth very quickly, 675 00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:01,759 Speaker 3: which is why the media loved him. May give you 676 00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:05,360 Speaker 3: a headline that was totally got to the heart of 677 00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:07,600 Speaker 3: the problem and whatever it was. And you know, in 678 00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:10,279 Speaker 3: this and then as back then, it was getting more 679 00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:12,319 Speaker 3: and more like it is today. It's a five second 680 00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:15,680 Speaker 3: sound bite and his ability to speak the way he 681 00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:21,440 Speaker 3: spoke was was gold for the guys in in our 682 00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:25,359 Speaker 3: industry now and and and he was. Yeah, so they 683 00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:30,040 Speaker 3: he's just a tremendous asset to the team on the field, 684 00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:33,759 Speaker 3: a tremendous friend and teammate, to us on the in 685 00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:40,680 Speaker 3: the locker room, great husband, father, and obviously an asset 686 00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:43,239 Speaker 3: even to the community and to the to the to 687 00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:46,439 Speaker 3: the team as it was perceived in the community. So yeah, 688 00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:48,400 Speaker 3: he's a guy who passed away all too young. We 689 00:36:48,480 --> 00:36:51,400 Speaker 3: miss and we talk about him, uh still with our friends. 690 00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:52,960 Speaker 3: That's the kind of effect he had on us. So 691 00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:55,080 Speaker 3: it's it's a good question. I'm glad you brought up 692 00:36:55,120 --> 00:36:58,640 Speaker 3: and it's nice to remember my friend, and you know, 693 00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:01,719 Speaker 3: just appreciate people bringing him up and knowing he was 694 00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:02,879 Speaker 3: one of my favorite guys too. 695 00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:03,360 Speaker 1: Yeah. 696 00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:07,120 Speaker 2: So Patrick, congratulations. You will be receiving in the mail 697 00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:13,440 Speaker 2: the mystery Memorabilia pack courtesy of Total Sports Experience. So 698 00:37:13,640 --> 00:37:15,840 Speaker 2: we move along here because we've got to get this 699 00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:18,680 Speaker 2: in as well. We kind of go through the locker 700 00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:21,200 Speaker 2: room to see what the players are thinking about this 701 00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:25,120 Speaker 2: upcoming game against the Patriots. It's called Soundbits, which is 702 00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:28,400 Speaker 2: presented by Tim Hortons. In this week's edition, we'll hear 703 00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:30,759 Speaker 2: from some of the top quotes from head coach Sean McDermott, 704 00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:35,080 Speaker 2: quarterback Josh Allen, and other Bills players heading into Sunday. 705 00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:38,320 Speaker 6: Well, we've got great respect for the Patriots and what 706 00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:42,280 Speaker 6: they've accomplished them and they have a deep history of winning, 707 00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:47,080 Speaker 6: and that's not easy to do in this league. And 708 00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:50,840 Speaker 6: so really our focus is on this week's game and 709 00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:52,520 Speaker 6: not what's happened in the past or what's going to 710 00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:55,480 Speaker 6: happen in the future. But our focus and sole focus 711 00:37:55,520 --> 00:37:57,640 Speaker 6: needs to be on this week's game. 712 00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:04,960 Speaker 5: It still looks like the same Patriots teemed to me. 713 00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:08,680 Speaker 5: It still looks like the same fundamentals, the same techniques. 714 00:38:09,719 --> 00:38:13,080 Speaker 5: You can see the greatness there. It just hasn't come 715 00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:15,719 Speaker 5: to fruish and yet. And I think part of that 716 00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:18,080 Speaker 5: reason is because in a lot of games that they 717 00:38:18,120 --> 00:38:21,440 Speaker 5: play this season, it's been over early, like they've been 718 00:38:21,480 --> 00:38:24,200 Speaker 5: really early, and I think you know. 719 00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:25,080 Speaker 3: That's been one of the problems. 720 00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:27,799 Speaker 5: They had turnovers early in the game, which kind of 721 00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:29,040 Speaker 5: took them out of the rhythm. 722 00:38:29,160 --> 00:38:30,799 Speaker 7: No matter who we play every week, we know that 723 00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:34,440 Speaker 7: every NFL team has talent you can never go in 724 00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:37,160 Speaker 7: there and expect just to really beat someone by a 725 00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:39,560 Speaker 7: lot of points. So we never we never try to 726 00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:42,680 Speaker 7: take that perspective. Everyone's got talent everyone, I mean, that's 727 00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:44,880 Speaker 7: how the NFL structured, you know, for parody, trying to 728 00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:48,120 Speaker 7: make sure every game's close. So for the most part, 729 00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:50,000 Speaker 7: we're just focusing on what we can focus on, and 730 00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:50,560 Speaker 7: that's kind of. 731 00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:52,160 Speaker 3: The same thing for us every week. 732 00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:56,440 Speaker 7: Just our execution, the way we you know, run the 733 00:38:56,480 --> 00:38:58,080 Speaker 7: plays is the most important. So I think we're just 734 00:38:58,080 --> 00:38:59,520 Speaker 7: focusing on last morning than anything. 735 00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:04,120 Speaker 8: We work on the details and execute, listen to every 736 00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:05,440 Speaker 8: game when this league is not going to be a 737 00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:09,520 Speaker 8: blow up by thirty. I know that's not what everyone 738 00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:14,439 Speaker 8: wants to hear. It's what we strive for, right It's 739 00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:16,080 Speaker 8: not changing who we are, is doubling down on what 740 00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:18,680 Speaker 8: we know works, and for us, that's just being consistent 741 00:39:18,719 --> 00:39:21,120 Speaker 8: and not riding the highs and lows of outside noise 742 00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:26,040 Speaker 8: or even self doubting yourself. So it'll just be kind 743 00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:28,800 Speaker 8: of recommitting ourselves to being consistent as possible. 744 00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:30,359 Speaker 9: We know as an offense we've got to be better. 745 00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:32,840 Speaker 9: Comes down to the guys on the field and myself 746 00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:35,560 Speaker 9: included on executing the plays that coach Dorsey calls. So 747 00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:39,120 Speaker 9: you know, we're going to have a detailed week, you know, 748 00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:40,920 Speaker 9: and look forward to get back on the field and 749 00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:44,040 Speaker 9: trying to go out there and put together our best 750 00:39:44,040 --> 00:39:46,520 Speaker 9: performance yet. And again it's no easy task going against 751 00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:50,560 Speaker 9: the Patriots and Bill Belichick, So we have to understand that, 752 00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:52,319 Speaker 9: you know, we're not going to score every time we 753 00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:56,120 Speaker 9: touch the ball, but you know, going out there and 754 00:39:56,200 --> 00:39:59,279 Speaker 9: just trying to execute every play and taking it one 755 00:39:59,280 --> 00:39:59,839 Speaker 9: play at a time. 756 00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:02,040 Speaker 10: I think just as an offense as a whole, for 757 00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:04,040 Speaker 10: us to be able to you know, get that first 758 00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:05,880 Speaker 10: first down and be able to click, you know, and 759 00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:08,680 Speaker 10: it's like the talent that we have on offense is 760 00:40:09,080 --> 00:40:10,560 Speaker 10: I mean, it's it's it's through the roof. And so 761 00:40:10,640 --> 00:40:12,680 Speaker 10: once we're able to click, and once we're able to 762 00:40:12,719 --> 00:40:15,880 Speaker 10: get going, it's it's it's no it's no telling, no 763 00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:17,080 Speaker 10: disguise the limit for us. 764 00:40:17,120 --> 00:40:22,319 Speaker 11: So overall, yeah, just shorten everything a little bit and 765 00:40:22,360 --> 00:40:24,600 Speaker 11: run will we know best and be able to go 766 00:40:24,640 --> 00:40:27,560 Speaker 11: out there and and fly around and it will help everybody. 767 00:40:27,560 --> 00:40:27,919 Speaker 3: A fact. 768 00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:30,960 Speaker 11: That's a great approach to anything when it comes to 769 00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:33,200 Speaker 11: this is just the less you have to worry about, 770 00:40:33,239 --> 00:40:35,160 Speaker 11: the more free you can play, if that makes sense. 771 00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:37,440 Speaker 11: And obviously that comes with preparation. 772 00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:39,440 Speaker 12: As well, Greg Aj, you know, all the all those 773 00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:42,080 Speaker 12: guys up front, you know, are having are having a 774 00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:44,719 Speaker 12: hell of a year, and you know, want to continue 775 00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:47,000 Speaker 12: to do that for them. And you know, anytime be 776 00:40:47,080 --> 00:40:49,600 Speaker 12: able to get Von out there fresh and you know, 777 00:40:49,640 --> 00:40:51,759 Speaker 12: whether it's third down, second and long, you know, pass 778 00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:54,399 Speaker 12: situations right now, to to kind of get him back 779 00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:57,200 Speaker 12: in his rhythm. You know, it's huge. Its huge for 780 00:40:57,239 --> 00:40:59,640 Speaker 12: our defense, it's huge for Vaughn. Takes a lot of 781 00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:02,200 Speaker 12: pressure off of you know, all those guys up front. 782 00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:04,799 Speaker 12: And you know, as long as those guys keep rushing, man, 783 00:41:04,960 --> 00:41:06,880 Speaker 12: you know we're gonna make They're gonna make a. 784 00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:07,239 Speaker 13: Ton of plays. 785 00:41:07,239 --> 00:41:08,640 Speaker 12: They're gonna help us make a ton of plays on 786 00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:09,120 Speaker 12: the back end. 787 00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:12,359 Speaker 3: All right. 788 00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:16,000 Speaker 2: So that soundbits presented by Tim Horton. Steve One comment 789 00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:20,400 Speaker 2: that was interesting Gabe Davis saying they're looking to simplify 790 00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:21,640 Speaker 2: this week. 791 00:41:21,880 --> 00:41:26,160 Speaker 1: What does that mean to you? Smaller volume of plays, 792 00:41:27,080 --> 00:41:28,360 Speaker 1: you know, shorter game. 793 00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:30,640 Speaker 3: Maybe if you will, maybe or maybe they're taking out 794 00:41:30,680 --> 00:41:33,760 Speaker 3: some of the adjustments or some of the read things 795 00:41:34,160 --> 00:41:36,840 Speaker 3: they might be taking off some of the options for 796 00:41:36,880 --> 00:41:40,319 Speaker 3: some of the option routes. I don't know. It could be. 797 00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:41,880 Speaker 3: It could be a bunch of stuff. It could be 798 00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:45,399 Speaker 3: less check with me at the line. It could mean 799 00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:49,719 Speaker 3: simpler play route concepts. It could mean given the receivers 800 00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:52,319 Speaker 3: on the outside or the skill positions, less things to read. 801 00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:55,200 Speaker 3: So when you go out and line up, you kind 802 00:41:55,200 --> 00:41:57,640 Speaker 3: of know what you're gonna do, rather than seeing the 803 00:41:57,640 --> 00:42:00,239 Speaker 3: defense looking at the over the and then saying case, 804 00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:04,120 Speaker 3: since they're doing this, I'm doing this other thing. Just 805 00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:05,799 Speaker 3: take off and run. You know what you're gonna do. 806 00:42:06,800 --> 00:42:08,880 Speaker 3: Could be any or all of that, gotcha. 807 00:42:09,600 --> 00:42:11,920 Speaker 2: We'll keep an eye out for it on Sunday against 808 00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:14,560 Speaker 2: the Patriots.

Yeah, he touched a 855 00:45:25,520 --> 00:45:28,279 Speaker 3: lot of people with a group, the Bills sent a 856 00:45:28,400 --> 00:45:33,840 Speaker 3: large contingent of executives and staff workers down to Greenville, 857 00:45:33,840 --> 00:45:36,719 Speaker 3: Mississippi for his funeral, and then me and a bunch 858 00:45:36,719 --> 00:45:42,560 Speaker 3: of our former teammates also of course went down and 859 00:45:44,920 --> 00:45:47,280 Speaker 3: the stories about what he had done in his community 860 00:45:47,280 --> 00:45:51,880 Speaker 3: there in Mississippi were you know, we're multi fold. I 861 00:45:51,880 --> 00:45:53,759 Speaker 3: mean they ever went on and on and on and 862 00:45:53,800 --> 00:45:57,960 Speaker 3: on and on about things that he did that he 863 00:45:58,000 --> 00:46:01,080 Speaker 3: would tell him not to tell anybody about. Just make 864 00:46:01,120 --> 00:46:03,960 Speaker 3: a gesture, you know. So it was He's a pretty 865 00:46:03,960 --> 00:46:05,640 Speaker 3: special guy.

It was sitting there in an antique store. 873 00:46:24,719 --> 00:46:27,160 Speaker 2: Does he have the football or I don't know. If 874 00:46:27,160 --> 00:46:29,080 Speaker 2: i'd have the heart to take it after that interaction 875 00:46:29,160 --> 00:46:31,160 Speaker 2: with the woman, I'd be like, keep the football, don't 876 00:46:31,200 --> 00:46:31,440 Speaker 2: load it. 877 00:46:33,160 --> 00:46:33,799 Speaker 1: I don't need it. 878 00:46:34,640 --> 00:46:37,200 Speaker 2: But he did get into the He's in the Mississippi 879 00:46:37,239 --> 00:46:41,440 Speaker 2: State Hall of Fame. I know that it's a pretty 880 00:46:41,480 --> 00:46:45,600 Speaker 2: cool deal. We are going to step aside and take 881 00:46:45,600 --> 00:46:49,279 Speaker 2: a break here because our number two is going to 882 00:46:49,320 --> 00:46:53,120 Speaker 2: begin with senior producer from NFL Films, Greg co Sell, who, 883 00:46:53,120 --> 00:46:55,440 Speaker 2: as we know, is also co host of ESPN's NFL 884 00:46:55,520 --> 00:46:56,240 Speaker 2: Matchup Show. 885 00:46:56,719 --> 00:46:59,040 Speaker 1: He is going to chop up Bill's patriots with us. 886 00:46:59,160 --> 00:47:02,319 Speaker 2: Let us know what's been ailing New England's offense and 887 00:47:02,360 --> 00:47:05,279 Speaker 2: how the Bills offense themselves can get off to a 888 00:47:05,360 --> 00:47:05,919 Speaker 2: quicker start. 889 00:47:05,960 --> 00:47:07,560 Speaker 1: We'll talk to Greg about that when we. 890 00:47:07,480 --> 00:47:10,040 Speaker 2: Return here on One Bills Live presented by Kalida Health, 891 00:47:10,280 --> 00:47:46,520 Speaker 2: It's Buffalo Bills Radio. 892 00:47:50,440 --> 00:47:55,080 Speaker 1: This One Bills Live presented by Kaleida Health. 893 00:47:55,640 --> 00:47:57,680 Speaker 2: All Right, our number two on a Friday can mean 894 00:47:57,800 --> 00:48:01,279 Speaker 2: only one thing.

I'm doing okay. How are you guys doing? That 901 00:48:23,120 --> 00:48:26,520 Speaker 13: was kind of a a heavy sweat. 902 00:48:26,200 --> 00:48:28,479 Speaker 2: Game the other night, you know, Oh yeah, Bills fans 903 00:48:28,520 --> 00:48:30,279 Speaker 2: chewed their fingernails down to the nub. 904 00:48:30,360 --> 00:48:32,440 Speaker 3: It was the most painful win I've sat through in 905 00:48:32,480 --> 00:48:33,440 Speaker 3: a long long time. 906 00:48:34,239 --> 00:48:37,560 Speaker 13: Yeah, that was I had no points at the half. God, 907 00:48:37,640 --> 00:48:39,880 Speaker 13: it was who knew what was going to happen in 908 00:48:39,920 --> 00:48:42,120 Speaker 13: the second half at that point, right, And that's. 909 00:48:42,000 --> 00:48:43,680 Speaker 3: The kind of the that's the theme of our show 910 00:48:43,719 --> 00:48:46,200 Speaker 3: this week. People are trying to figure out. First of all, Monday, 911 00:48:46,239 --> 00:48:48,600 Speaker 3: we called people called in and we were all trying 912 00:48:48,640 --> 00:48:51,319 Speaker 3: to fix it, right what trying to help them get 913 00:48:51,320 --> 00:48:54,080 Speaker 3: out of this this pension for slow start. Certainly they 914 00:48:54,120 --> 00:48:57,680 Speaker 3: couldn't catch up to the Jaguars in London, which because 915 00:48:57,680 --> 00:49:01,080 Speaker 3: of a slow start. Same thing this last week against 916 00:49:01,080 --> 00:49:03,000 Speaker 3: the Giants. Although the whole. 917 00:49:04,160 --> 00:49:06,480 Speaker 13: When people ask me those kinds of questions, I feel 918 00:49:06,480 --> 00:49:08,200 Speaker 13: like I never have a great answer, and I'm just 919 00:49:08,239 --> 00:49:10,280 Speaker 13: being honest. Do you guys have a great answer? 920 00:49:10,920 --> 00:49:11,520 Speaker 3: Play better? 921 00:49:12,280 --> 00:49:16,160 Speaker 1: Eh? That's his answer, Brownie. 922 00:49:16,400 --> 00:49:17,160 Speaker 13: You want to add to that. 923 00:49:17,600 --> 00:49:19,800 Speaker 1: Not really, I think it's largely. 924 00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:25,000 Speaker 2: I think it's largely an execution issue. Just kind of 925 00:49:25,040 --> 00:49:27,879 Speaker 2: looking back at the tape and stuff. There are instances 926 00:49:27,960 --> 00:49:31,960 Speaker 2: where you know, you have simple mental mistakes, whether it's 927 00:49:32,440 --> 00:49:34,719 Speaker 2: Gabe Davis not putting the ball in his outside arm 928 00:49:34,760 --> 00:49:36,800 Speaker 2: and a fumble happens and it stays in the field 929 00:49:36,800 --> 00:49:40,480 Speaker 2: of play and it's a turnover. You know, you can 930 00:49:40,520 --> 00:49:42,560 Speaker 2: go all the way back to the Jacksonville game and 931 00:49:43,239 --> 00:49:45,920 Speaker 2: the two first two series. You know, Cook can't catch 932 00:49:46,280 --> 00:49:48,319 Speaker 2: a ball in the right flat where he has the 933 00:49:48,360 --> 00:49:50,680 Speaker 2: angle and can run for the first down, they're punting. 934 00:49:51,320 --> 00:49:54,759 Speaker 2: Next series, Dalton Kincaid catches it on third down, can't 935 00:49:54,760 --> 00:49:56,520 Speaker 2: get to the sticks. That's a one hundred and ninety 936 00:49:56,520 --> 00:49:58,440 Speaker 2: pound defensive back knock him out of bounds. 937 00:49:58,800 --> 00:50:01,640 Speaker 1: So to me, it largely execution. 938 00:50:02,480 --> 00:50:04,759 Speaker 13: You know, I think the way I always look at 939 00:50:04,760 --> 00:50:07,480 Speaker 13: these things, and they're not the only team that's you know, 940 00:50:07,800 --> 00:50:09,160 Speaker 13: I've been doing this in a long time as you 941 00:50:09,200 --> 00:50:11,800 Speaker 13: guys have, so we've seen these kinds of things before. 942 00:50:12,040 --> 00:50:13,600 Speaker 13: You know, obviously I've seen it with many teams in 943 00:50:13,640 --> 00:50:16,840 Speaker 13: the league. Your focus is more on the Bills. I 944 00:50:16,840 --> 00:50:19,640 Speaker 13: always feel like there's a macro reason and a micro reason. 945 00:50:19,640 --> 00:50:22,360 Speaker 13: You've hit a lot on the micro reasons, individual plays 946 00:50:22,480 --> 00:50:26,080 Speaker 13: that you can always point to. One of the things 947 00:50:26,080 --> 00:50:28,760 Speaker 13: that I think stands out to me watching the Bills offense. 948 00:50:29,000 --> 00:50:31,480 Speaker 13: And again this is where also the macro and the 949 00:50:31,520 --> 00:50:35,000 Speaker 13: micro do merge. But there have not been as many 950 00:50:35,040 --> 00:50:37,319 Speaker 13: explosive pass plays this year as there have been in 951 00:50:37,360 --> 00:50:40,239 Speaker 13: the past. And again, as I said, that's where the 952 00:50:40,239 --> 00:50:42,920 Speaker 13: macro and the micro merge because it's not as if 953 00:50:42,920 --> 00:50:48,920 Speaker 13: they never run intermediate or vertical routes, but for different reasons, 954 00:50:48,960 --> 00:50:53,839 Speaker 13: on different plays, those are not there. Those plays are 955 00:50:53,840 --> 00:50:56,880 Speaker 13: not being made down the field either because balls not 956 00:50:56,960 --> 00:51:01,080 Speaker 13: being thrown, coverage takes it away, maybe Josh Times gets 957 00:51:01,120 --> 00:51:03,080 Speaker 13: out of the pocket a little too quick. You know, 958 00:51:03,120 --> 00:51:07,200 Speaker 13: there's Steve as you know, having played, there's always ten reasons. 959 00:51:07,239 --> 00:51:10,640 Speaker 13: There's never one reason. Fans like there to be one reason, 960 00:51:10,880 --> 00:51:12,480 Speaker 13: but there's never one reason. 961 00:51:13,000 --> 00:51:16,520 Speaker 3: But is there one solution? Right? I mean that's the question. 962 00:51:16,760 --> 00:51:19,520 Speaker 3: Can they fix it by say, listen, can we protect better? 963 00:51:20,239 --> 00:51:22,439 Speaker 3: Can we give them one more outlet? Can we run 964 00:51:22,480 --> 00:51:25,000 Speaker 3: the ball a little better? Can we do? And you know, 965 00:51:25,280 --> 00:51:27,440 Speaker 3: certainly Brownie and I have sat here and you know, 966 00:51:27,480 --> 00:51:28,799 Speaker 3: you go back and look at the old twenty two 967 00:51:28,840 --> 00:51:31,080 Speaker 3: and maybe you can shed some light on this. There 968 00:51:31,200 --> 00:51:35,880 Speaker 3: seems to be enough options open on these passing routes 969 00:51:36,280 --> 00:51:38,799 Speaker 3: that they could stay on the field more consistently than 970 00:51:38,800 --> 00:51:40,399 Speaker 3: they've been able to in the beginning of these two 971 00:51:40,440 --> 00:51:41,240 Speaker 3: last two games. 972 00:51:43,000 --> 00:51:46,319 Speaker 13: Yeah, you know, I mean again, now you get into 973 00:51:46,320 --> 00:51:51,319 Speaker 13: individual plays, and ultimately that's that's what happens with, you know, 974 00:51:53,080 --> 00:51:56,040 Speaker 13: plays that are there or that seem to be there 975 00:51:56,160 --> 00:51:59,520 Speaker 13: end up not being executed for any number of reasons. 976 00:51:59,760 --> 00:52:02,560 Speaker 13: I mean, and I'll give you a great example. There 977 00:52:02,640 --> 00:52:05,279 Speaker 13: was a second quarter play that was third and fourteen. 978 00:52:06,760 --> 00:52:09,400 Speaker 13: Alan had Davis on the deep curl beyond the sticks 979 00:52:09,440 --> 00:52:12,759 Speaker 13: versus an outside a leverage corner. Okay, but he left 980 00:52:12,800 --> 00:52:14,960 Speaker 13: the pocket to his right and then he made a 981 00:52:15,000 --> 00:52:20,200 Speaker 13: second reaction and complete throw to Diggs. Now, Alan never 982 00:52:20,320 --> 00:52:23,120 Speaker 13: looked to Davis, and that should have been the read 983 00:52:23,239 --> 00:52:25,680 Speaker 13: to me based on the movement of the safety. So 984 00:52:25,719 --> 00:52:27,960 Speaker 13: you end up with a third and fourteen that should 985 00:52:27,960 --> 00:52:30,520 Speaker 13: have been a twenty yard completion and it's a punt. 986 00:52:30,920 --> 00:52:33,840 Speaker 13: I mean. Then they run the ball really really well. 987 00:52:34,160 --> 00:52:37,400 Speaker 13: And then you get to a play that they loved. 988 00:52:37,480 --> 00:52:40,920 Speaker 13: Right after three Cook runs one of their staple plays, 989 00:52:40,960 --> 00:52:44,360 Speaker 13: that conventional bang play action with dig digs from the 990 00:52:44,400 --> 00:52:47,560 Speaker 13: reduced split running the condensed skinny. And you know, we've 991 00:52:47,560 --> 00:52:50,799 Speaker 13: seen them hit that play over and over, not only 992 00:52:50,800 --> 00:52:53,040 Speaker 13: in the field but in the red zone for touchdowns. 993 00:52:53,280 --> 00:52:56,480 Speaker 13: And Okaake from the backside just gets his hand on 994 00:52:56,520 --> 00:52:58,600 Speaker 13: the ball on a play that probably would have been 995 00:52:58,640 --> 00:53:01,480 Speaker 13: a twenty five or thirty yard game because there was 996 00:53:01,520 --> 00:53:04,000 Speaker 13: a ton of room for Diggs after he caught the ball. 997 00:53:04,200 --> 00:53:06,680 Speaker 13: So these are the micro plays, the plays that are 998 00:53:06,719 --> 00:53:10,239 Speaker 13: seemingly there that are not getting made. And you know, 999 00:53:10,280 --> 00:53:13,960 Speaker 13: these these are plays that that short circuit drives. 1000 00:53:14,239 --> 00:53:17,080 Speaker 2: Right, And we've seen that each of the last two weeks, 1001 00:53:17,280 --> 00:53:21,080 Speaker 2: because before before these last two games, the Bills had 1002 00:53:21,239 --> 00:53:24,600 Speaker 2: five three and outs all season through the first fright 1003 00:53:24,920 --> 00:53:27,040 Speaker 2: through the first four games, and I think they have seven. 1004 00:53:27,360 --> 00:53:29,360 Speaker 2: I think they have six or seven in the last 1005 00:53:29,400 --> 00:53:33,920 Speaker 2: two alone. Wanted to kind of bend your ear a 1006 00:53:33,920 --> 00:53:39,200 Speaker 2: little bit, Greg on Josh under center and Josh in 1007 00:53:39,280 --> 00:53:43,240 Speaker 2: the shotgun. So let's compare the production if we could, 1008 00:53:43,600 --> 00:53:47,279 Speaker 2: and why we think one has been more productive than 1009 00:53:47,320 --> 00:53:47,640 Speaker 2: the other. 1010 00:53:47,719 --> 00:53:52,239 Speaker 13: Per se, Well, let's just talk about play action under 1011 00:53:52,239 --> 00:53:54,920 Speaker 13: center as a general principle, which is true for any team, 1012 00:53:55,239 --> 00:53:57,439 Speaker 13: but it's certainly true for the Bills. But it's it's 1013 00:53:57,520 --> 00:54:02,319 Speaker 13: just universal stuff. When you're under center, a number of 1014 00:54:02,360 --> 00:54:05,960 Speaker 13: things are different. Number One, depending on the kind of 1015 00:54:06,080 --> 00:54:10,359 Speaker 13: run you show, a couple of things happen. Number One, 1016 00:54:10,640 --> 00:54:13,600 Speaker 13: it takes longer for second level the play second level 1017 00:54:13,640 --> 00:54:16,160 Speaker 13: defenders to know whether it's run or pass, because it 1018 00:54:16,200 --> 00:54:19,560 Speaker 13: takes longer to get to the mesh point. Secondly, if 1019 00:54:19,600 --> 00:54:23,080 Speaker 13: you run some kind of outside zone ish look. Doesn't 1020 00:54:23,080 --> 00:54:25,839 Speaker 13: have to be hardcore outside zone, but something that has 1021 00:54:26,120 --> 00:54:29,239 Speaker 13: a little bit more of a path that's outside zone 1022 00:54:29,320 --> 00:54:33,800 Speaker 13: is the defensive line. Their first step is horizontal, not vertical, 1023 00:54:33,800 --> 00:54:37,560 Speaker 13: toward the quarterback, so that slows the rush down. Play 1024 00:54:37,600 --> 00:54:40,799 Speaker 13: action under center also gives Josh the chance to get 1025 00:54:40,840 --> 00:54:43,520 Speaker 13: more depth in the pocket, which then gives him more 1026 00:54:43,600 --> 00:54:47,160 Speaker 13: time away from the rush. Normally, when you run play 1027 00:54:47,200 --> 00:54:51,000 Speaker 13: action under center, too, the reads are not as detailed, 1028 00:54:51,280 --> 00:54:55,279 Speaker 13: so you focus less on reading defenses and coverages and 1029 00:54:55,400 --> 00:54:57,680 Speaker 13: more on focusing on the routes and where you want 1030 00:54:57,719 --> 00:55:00,880 Speaker 13: to throw the ball, so you get more depth. You 1031 00:55:01,120 --> 00:55:05,560 Speaker 13: you you're more defined in your reads, and you know, 1032 00:55:05,600 --> 00:55:08,279 Speaker 13: those are all good things, you know. Play action from 1033 00:55:08,320 --> 00:55:11,400 Speaker 13: the shotgun is very quick, it's almost like flash fakes. 1034 00:55:12,200 --> 00:55:15,399 Speaker 13: It doesn't have a major impact on the defense, and 1035 00:55:15,640 --> 00:55:18,480 Speaker 13: the depth you know, the drop back is totally different. 1036 00:55:18,760 --> 00:55:21,759 Speaker 13: So I personally am a big believer, just from years 1037 00:55:21,760 --> 00:55:24,799 Speaker 13: of film study in an under center play action. I 1038 00:55:24,800 --> 00:55:27,520 Speaker 13: think it's a more effective way to run play action. 1039 00:55:28,400 --> 00:55:31,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, and how important is it to actually be able 1040 00:55:31,520 --> 00:55:33,080 Speaker 3: to run the football out of that or does that 1041 00:55:33,160 --> 00:55:34,879 Speaker 3: really matters you? Under center? 1042 00:55:35,080 --> 00:55:38,560 Speaker 13: That's always been a big question, Steven, and one can 1043 00:55:38,680 --> 00:55:41,799 Speaker 13: make the argument that you do not have to be 1044 00:55:41,880 --> 00:55:44,919 Speaker 13: a great running team to execute under center play action 1045 00:55:45,080 --> 00:55:50,480 Speaker 13: effectively because defensive players are not necessarily conscious of how 1046 00:55:50,520 --> 00:55:53,839 Speaker 13: many carries or how many yards you're getting running the ball. Now, 1047 00:55:55,360 --> 00:56:00,120 Speaker 13: obviously if you're running it well, then clearly defensive play 1048 00:56:00,480 --> 00:56:02,440 Speaker 13: because they want to be physical, they want to hit. 1049 00:56:02,680 --> 00:56:04,439 Speaker 13: They think in terms of, hey, we got to buck 1050 00:56:04,520 --> 00:56:06,200 Speaker 13: up and now we got to stop the run. So 1051 00:56:06,239 --> 00:56:08,879 Speaker 13: there's no question there's that element to it. But they 1052 00:56:08,960 --> 00:56:12,040 Speaker 13: still play their keys and they still react. So you 1053 00:56:12,080 --> 00:56:15,200 Speaker 13: don't have to be a great running team. I mean 1054 00:56:15,239 --> 00:56:17,000 Speaker 13: I used to hear you know, years ago, and not 1055 00:56:17,080 --> 00:56:19,160 Speaker 13: to bring up bad memories for you, Steve, but like 1056 00:56:19,200 --> 00:56:21,520 Speaker 13: the Cowboys with Aikman and Smith, people would say, well, 1057 00:56:21,520 --> 00:56:22,960 Speaker 13: they got to come out and run the ball to 1058 00:56:23,080 --> 00:56:26,360 Speaker 13: establish the run. No they don't. Their runs established just 1059 00:56:26,400 --> 00:56:28,600 Speaker 13: by who they were. They didn't have to come out 1060 00:56:28,600 --> 00:56:32,080 Speaker 13: and run the ball, you know. Defenses are our game 1061 00:56:32,120 --> 00:56:36,279 Speaker 13: planning to stop the run, you know. So it's it's 1062 00:56:36,280 --> 00:56:39,120 Speaker 13: always been a debatable point. I fall on the side 1063 00:56:39,120 --> 00:56:41,120 Speaker 13: that you don't have to have a great run game 1064 00:56:41,320 --> 00:56:43,759 Speaker 13: in order to execute under center play action. 1065 00:56:44,600 --> 00:56:49,360 Speaker 2: All right, So Greg, in this matchup, after seeing how 1066 00:56:49,719 --> 00:56:54,000 Speaker 2: inordinately targeted Diggs was in the last game, yes, I 1067 00:56:54,000 --> 00:56:56,600 Speaker 2: think it was targeted like twelve times in the first half, 1068 00:56:56,640 --> 00:56:59,520 Speaker 2: and it was like one or two targets for everybody else. 1069 00:56:59,560 --> 00:57:01,440 Speaker 2: At most there's only two or three other players on 1070 00:57:01,480 --> 00:57:04,680 Speaker 2: the halftime stat board, and that continued to a certain 1071 00:57:04,719 --> 00:57:08,680 Speaker 2: extent in the second half. Knowing how Belichick's defenses are 1072 00:57:08,800 --> 00:57:13,560 Speaker 2: usually good at taking away your number one option, what 1073 00:57:13,680 --> 00:57:17,680 Speaker 2: are you anticipating from New England? Knowing full well, in 1074 00:57:17,760 --> 00:57:22,320 Speaker 2: the last six games, Diggs has had i think four 1075 00:57:22,640 --> 00:57:26,920 Speaker 2: one hundred yard efforts against the Patriots and six touchdowns 1076 00:57:26,920 --> 00:57:27,720 Speaker 2: in six games. 1077 00:57:28,000 --> 00:57:30,880 Speaker 13: They know they've been very good against the Patriots, very good. 1078 00:57:31,200 --> 00:57:34,040 Speaker 13: So here's the question. With Kinkaid out this week, they 1079 00:57:34,040 --> 00:57:37,080 Speaker 13: had almost eighty percent of their offensive snaps in eleven personnel. 1080 00:57:37,800 --> 00:57:40,000 Speaker 13: You tend to believe that that's not going to happen 1081 00:57:40,040 --> 00:57:43,680 Speaker 13: because kincaid has been cleared correct, correct, So he's going 1082 00:57:43,760 --> 00:57:48,240 Speaker 13: to play so normally normally. And again with Bill Belichick, 1083 00:57:48,320 --> 00:57:50,560 Speaker 13: I know they're a bad team this year, you know, 1084 00:57:51,240 --> 00:57:53,640 Speaker 13: but there are still tendencies that he plays. He doesn't 1085 00:57:53,720 --> 00:57:57,920 Speaker 13: just do crazy stuff. Normally, when he plays against twelve personnel, 1086 00:57:58,240 --> 00:58:00,400 Speaker 13: you tend to see a lot of big nickel, meaning 1087 00:58:00,440 --> 00:58:03,520 Speaker 13: three safeties. So I would assume the Bills would go 1088 00:58:03,600 --> 00:58:08,080 Speaker 13: back to some meaningful, meaningful percentage of twelve personnel with 1089 00:58:08,160 --> 00:58:11,480 Speaker 13: Kinkaid back. Would you guys agree that that's likely to happen? 1090 00:58:11,680 --> 00:58:14,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's to say, yeah, at least more 1091 00:58:14,960 --> 00:58:16,880 Speaker 3: twelve than they have run last time. 1092 00:58:16,960 --> 00:58:18,520 Speaker 13: Yeah. I mean, I'm not saying they're going to be 1093 00:58:18,520 --> 00:58:21,720 Speaker 13: seventy percent twelve, but I would think they'd be, you know, 1094 00:58:21,840 --> 00:58:24,720 Speaker 13: forty percent give or take. You know, Pincaid's going to 1095 00:58:24,760 --> 00:58:28,040 Speaker 13: be on the field. So if they play big nickel, 1096 00:58:28,080 --> 00:58:30,560 Speaker 13: the question becomes, is he going to play zone out 1097 00:58:30,640 --> 00:58:32,560 Speaker 13: of that? Or is he going to play man out 1098 00:58:32,640 --> 00:58:35,040 Speaker 13: of that? And that's something we don't know the answer to. 1099 00:58:35,480 --> 00:58:38,600 Speaker 13: But I don't think and we see the same thing 1100 00:58:38,640 --> 00:58:41,640 Speaker 13: in Philadelphia or I'm closest to I don't think your 1101 00:58:41,680 --> 00:58:44,440 Speaker 13: past game can live on one guy. Now, that can 1102 00:58:44,480 --> 00:58:47,040 Speaker 13: happen for a couple of weeks. You know, can happen 1103 00:58:47,040 --> 00:58:49,440 Speaker 13: in given games, but guys, I don't think that can 1104 00:58:49,520 --> 00:58:52,040 Speaker 13: happen over the course of his season. I think you 1105 00:58:52,160 --> 00:58:55,400 Speaker 13: have to get other players involved, and that begs the question, 1106 00:58:55,720 --> 00:58:57,919 Speaker 13: which again is a difficult answer, and I'm just being 1107 00:58:57,960 --> 00:59:00,440 Speaker 13: honest as to why it has not been the case, 1108 00:59:00,840 --> 00:59:02,800 Speaker 13: and I can't answer that. That would be a Ken 1109 00:59:02,840 --> 00:59:06,240 Speaker 13: Dorsey Josh Allen question or and maybe the quarterback coach, 1110 00:59:06,240 --> 00:59:08,560 Speaker 13: and I'm not sure who that is, but you know, 1111 00:59:08,600 --> 00:59:10,920 Speaker 13: I think that's a question that needs you got to 1112 00:59:10,920 --> 00:59:16,000 Speaker 13: figure that out, because you know, Gabe Davis, he's now 1113 00:59:16,040 --> 00:59:18,800 Speaker 13: been there for five years and he has a couple 1114 00:59:18,800 --> 00:59:20,600 Speaker 13: of games every year where you go, oh my god, 1115 00:59:20,600 --> 00:59:23,320 Speaker 13: this guy's really a big time number two, and then 1116 00:59:23,360 --> 00:59:25,120 Speaker 13: he has a lot of other games where it doesn't 1117 00:59:25,120 --> 00:59:27,480 Speaker 13: seem like he's part of the offense. And this is 1118 00:59:27,520 --> 00:59:29,480 Speaker 13: no knock on Gabe Davis. It might have nothing to 1119 00:59:29,480 --> 00:59:32,480 Speaker 13: do with him, but you can't live like this every 1120 00:59:32,560 --> 00:59:33,200 Speaker 13: single week. 1121 00:59:33,440 --> 00:59:33,640 Speaker 3: You know. 1122 00:59:33,680 --> 00:59:35,920 Speaker 13: Even Dawson Knox, to me, I think he's a pretty 1123 00:59:35,960 --> 00:59:40,120 Speaker 13: talented receiver. I mean, he's an he's athletic, you know. 1124 00:59:41,360 --> 00:59:44,880 Speaker 13: To me, these guys need to be more involved in 1125 00:59:44,920 --> 00:59:48,000 Speaker 13: the past game. It can't be Stefon Diggs. Stefon Diggs 1126 00:59:48,040 --> 00:59:49,200 Speaker 13: as good as Diggs is. 1127 00:59:49,560 --> 00:59:51,240 Speaker 3: So when we get into a game like this where 1128 00:59:51,240 --> 00:59:53,760 Speaker 3: a team's one and five, and they're you know, they're 1129 00:59:53,800 --> 00:59:56,760 Speaker 3: they're desperate for a win. But we're you know, we're 1130 00:59:56,800 --> 00:59:58,800 Speaker 3: watching some of their the All twenty two for their 1131 00:59:58,840 --> 00:59:59,760 Speaker 3: game against U. 1132 01:00:00,120 --> 01:00:02,280 Speaker 13: The Their offense is painful to watch, the. 1133 01:00:02,520 --> 01:00:05,439 Speaker 3: Right and their defense. The thing I noticed overall about 1134 01:00:05,440 --> 01:00:08,400 Speaker 3: their defense. You're not gonna convince me that Bill Belichick 1135 01:00:08,400 --> 01:00:10,040 Speaker 3: and the guys over there and that coaching staff have 1136 01:00:10,080 --> 01:00:13,640 Speaker 3: forgotten how to coach. But their defense seems and brann 1137 01:00:13,680 --> 01:00:15,200 Speaker 3: ere Tiger, it seems a little bit slow. 1138 01:00:15,280 --> 01:00:15,920 Speaker 1: They're slow. 1139 01:00:16,080 --> 01:00:18,160 Speaker 3: It seems like they're they can't, you know, they just 1140 01:00:18,200 --> 01:00:21,080 Speaker 3: can't keep up. Sometimes the Raid agree with that. 1141 01:00:21,160 --> 01:00:23,920 Speaker 13: I think they I think they are a slow defense 1142 01:00:23,960 --> 01:00:27,720 Speaker 13: that locks really good personnel and you can only camouflage 1143 01:00:27,760 --> 01:00:31,320 Speaker 13: that and compensate for that, you know, in so many ways. 1144 01:00:31,640 --> 01:00:34,840 Speaker 13: And because their offense, and again we can discuss that 1145 01:00:34,880 --> 01:00:37,520 Speaker 13: if you like. You know, there's a lot to say 1146 01:00:37,560 --> 01:00:40,600 Speaker 13: about their offense, but because they can't really score a lot, 1147 01:00:40,680 --> 01:00:44,640 Speaker 13: they can't they can't you know, make up for their defense. 1148 01:00:44,760 --> 01:00:46,440 Speaker 13: You know, it's one thing if you can score a 1149 01:00:46,480 --> 01:00:48,600 Speaker 13: lot of points and you figure, hey, we can win 1150 01:00:48,640 --> 01:00:50,600 Speaker 13: games thirty one to twenty four. They can't do that. 1151 01:00:51,240 --> 01:00:54,280 Speaker 13: So you know, they're really not a very talented team, 1152 01:00:54,280 --> 01:00:56,760 Speaker 13: which is an odd thing to say about the Patriots 1153 01:00:56,800 --> 01:00:59,480 Speaker 13: given what their history has been, but they're really not 1154 01:00:59,520 --> 01:01:01,720 Speaker 13: particularly talented on either side of the ball. 1155 01:01:02,440 --> 01:01:05,280 Speaker 2: Okay, so the off and I realized that a lot 1156 01:01:05,280 --> 01:01:07,920 Speaker 2: of their offensive problems stem from their offensive line, which 1157 01:01:07,960 --> 01:01:10,640 Speaker 2: has already had four different line combinations through the first 1158 01:01:10,640 --> 01:01:15,520 Speaker 2: six weeks, and they don't I would call Devonte Parker, 1159 01:01:16,800 --> 01:01:19,800 Speaker 2: if not elite, close to an elite physical talent, but. 1160 01:01:19,800 --> 01:01:23,760 Speaker 1: He has never had He has never had week to 1161 01:01:23,880 --> 01:01:28,360 Speaker 1: week consistency in his entire career. So you have that. 1162 01:01:28,760 --> 01:01:32,040 Speaker 2: On one hand, I think Kendrick Bourne is is their 1163 01:01:32,120 --> 01:01:34,880 Speaker 2: most reliable offensive weapon right now. 1164 01:01:36,160 --> 01:01:39,880 Speaker 13: I think that's probably fair, and he's probably I hate 1165 01:01:39,920 --> 01:01:44,200 Speaker 13: categorizing receivers, but he's probably a number three in a 1166 01:01:44,400 --> 01:01:48,680 Speaker 13: you know, a good offense. You know, there's a couple 1167 01:01:48,720 --> 01:01:50,720 Speaker 13: of things we have not seen at all. First of all, 1168 01:01:50,760 --> 01:01:53,320 Speaker 13: you have to start with the quarterback. He's a certain 1169 01:01:53,400 --> 01:01:56,280 Speaker 13: kind of quarterback. I don't think you know, obviously, I'm 1170 01:01:56,320 --> 01:01:58,439 Speaker 13: sure in New England they probably think they're done with him. 1171 01:01:58,480 --> 01:02:02,160 Speaker 13: But he's a certain kind of quarterback. And I hate 1172 01:02:02,200 --> 01:02:05,760 Speaker 13: to use these words, but people understand he's a complimentary player. 1173 01:02:06,560 --> 01:02:08,920 Speaker 13: He needs a run game, and they've been unable to 1174 01:02:08,960 --> 01:02:11,880 Speaker 13: run the ball with any kind of meaningful production through 1175 01:02:11,920 --> 01:02:14,600 Speaker 13: six games. And they need the run game, both from 1176 01:02:14,640 --> 01:02:18,200 Speaker 13: a volume and production standpoint for their offense to have 1177 01:02:18,280 --> 01:02:21,560 Speaker 13: any chance to be successful. They only have eight rushes 1178 01:02:21,600 --> 01:02:23,680 Speaker 13: of ten plus yards, which is the second lowest in 1179 01:02:23,720 --> 01:02:27,480 Speaker 13: the league. And then on top of that, they've not 1180 01:02:27,520 --> 01:02:30,680 Speaker 13: shown any kind of meaningful intermediate or vertical passing game. 1181 01:02:31,400 --> 01:02:34,080 Speaker 13: Some of that's O line based. I think that it's 1182 01:02:34,120 --> 01:02:37,080 Speaker 13: been clear watching the tape that there have been sort 1183 01:02:37,120 --> 01:02:41,360 Speaker 13: of sync issues with Jones and the quarterbacks and the receivers. 1184 01:02:41,400 --> 01:02:46,440 Speaker 13: Excuse me, you know, and I don't think this is 1185 01:02:46,520 --> 01:02:49,400 Speaker 13: just my sense. Only Mac Jones can answer this question. 1186 01:02:49,640 --> 01:02:52,480 Speaker 13: I'm just trying to extrapolate, guys from watching the tape 1187 01:02:52,640 --> 01:02:54,760 Speaker 13: my senses. Jones does not have a lot of faith 1188 01:02:54,800 --> 01:02:57,640 Speaker 13: either in his protection or in his receiver's ability to 1189 01:02:57,720 --> 01:02:59,760 Speaker 13: win one on one. And it's really tough to play 1190 01:03:00,120 --> 01:03:02,160 Speaker 13: or back that way, and it's tough for a play caller. 1191 01:03:03,200 --> 01:03:05,600 Speaker 3: Should he have faith in it? And either one? 1192 01:03:08,880 --> 01:03:12,200 Speaker 13: Yeah, that's a fair question, and the easy answer would 1193 01:03:12,200 --> 01:03:15,439 Speaker 13: probably be no. But Steve, you played in this league 1194 01:03:15,440 --> 01:03:17,680 Speaker 13: a long time. At some point, you know you still 1195 01:03:17,680 --> 01:03:19,800 Speaker 13: have to line up and play. I mean, you can't 1196 01:03:19,800 --> 01:03:23,360 Speaker 13: play scared, and you know, but you know, it's still 1197 01:03:23,400 --> 01:03:26,479 Speaker 13: it's still human beings and it's still human nature and 1198 01:03:26,880 --> 01:03:29,400 Speaker 13: the old lion. I mean, they're starting two rookie guards, 1199 01:03:29,480 --> 01:03:32,240 Speaker 13: they're starting a free agent right tackle who had all 1200 01:03:32,320 --> 01:03:36,280 Speaker 13: kinds of problems last week with Max Crosby, and obviously 1201 01:03:36,320 --> 01:03:38,400 Speaker 13: Max Crosby is arguably one of the three or four 1202 01:03:38,440 --> 01:03:42,000 Speaker 13: best edge rushers in the league. But still, you know, 1203 01:03:42,080 --> 01:03:43,919 Speaker 13: at some point you've got to line up and try 1204 01:03:43,960 --> 01:03:47,000 Speaker 13: to execute what you're asked to execute, not only Mac Jones, everybody, 1205 01:03:47,200 --> 01:03:49,120 Speaker 13: but it's it's been a problem. I mean, this is 1206 01:03:50,280 --> 01:03:52,120 Speaker 13: there's no two ways around it. This has been a 1207 01:03:52,120 --> 01:03:55,160 Speaker 13: really difficult offense to watch. I mean, you know, obviously 1208 01:03:55,200 --> 01:03:57,560 Speaker 13: I've been watching it to some degree, maybe I missed 1209 01:03:57,560 --> 01:03:59,320 Speaker 13: a game or two, but it's not been an easy 1210 01:03:59,320 --> 01:04:00,240 Speaker 13: offense to watch. 1211 01:04:00,800 --> 01:04:03,360 Speaker 2: All Right, So let's look at Buffalo's defense, which is 1212 01:04:03,400 --> 01:04:07,840 Speaker 2: still trying to come up with full time solutions for 1213 01:04:07,920 --> 01:04:10,600 Speaker 2: some of the all pro talent that they've lost. Dorian 1214 01:04:10,640 --> 01:04:14,480 Speaker 2: Williams makes his first start last week, greg and is 1215 01:04:14,880 --> 01:04:20,240 Speaker 2: once again noticeable, active all over the field. Ten tackles 1216 01:04:20,280 --> 01:04:22,920 Speaker 2: on the night a quarterback hit on Tyrod when he 1217 01:04:23,000 --> 01:04:25,680 Speaker 2: chases him out in the flat on a scramble play, 1218 01:04:26,400 --> 01:04:30,920 Speaker 2: and him and Bernard they might be a little undersized, 1219 01:04:31,240 --> 01:04:34,320 Speaker 2: but man that they get to the football in a hurry. 1220 01:04:35,040 --> 01:04:37,800 Speaker 13: Yeah. I you know, from the time they drafted him, 1221 01:04:37,840 --> 01:04:39,840 Speaker 13: as you guys, remember I told you I really liked 1222 01:04:39,840 --> 01:04:41,640 Speaker 13: his college tape and this is the way in which 1223 01:04:41,640 --> 01:04:43,840 Speaker 13: he played, and by the way, he played this way 1224 01:04:43,880 --> 01:04:46,040 Speaker 13: all through training camp, and I know he got hurt, 1225 01:04:46,760 --> 01:04:48,200 Speaker 13: you know in the games that you know when he 1226 01:04:48,240 --> 01:04:50,240 Speaker 13: did play in the preseason games, this is what he 1227 01:04:50,280 --> 01:04:52,560 Speaker 13: looked like. Guys, when you agree you noticed him in 1228 01:04:52,600 --> 01:04:53,160 Speaker 13: the preseason. 1229 01:04:53,200 --> 01:04:55,800 Speaker 2: He was the leading tackler in the preseason for the defense. 1230 01:04:56,520 --> 01:04:59,800 Speaker 13: Yeah, so again not being there every day and knowing 1231 01:05:00,080 --> 01:05:02,120 Speaker 13: what he can handle. Mentally, at this point, I don't 1232 01:05:02,120 --> 01:05:04,800 Speaker 13: know the answer to that. But the bottom line is 1233 01:05:04,800 --> 01:05:07,000 Speaker 13: is they've got two even though they might be a 1234 01:05:07,000 --> 01:05:11,600 Speaker 13: little undersize, they've got two fast flow linebackers and in 1235 01:05:11,640 --> 01:05:14,240 Speaker 13: today's NFL that's a good thing. So you know, you 1236 01:05:14,320 --> 01:05:16,760 Speaker 13: have to figure both will continue to develop. Since they're 1237 01:05:16,760 --> 01:05:19,280 Speaker 13: young players. And obviously they're going to play this year 1238 01:05:19,320 --> 01:05:21,240 Speaker 13: because Milano is going to be out for the year. 1239 01:05:21,520 --> 01:05:25,520 Speaker 13: So you know, I think that's a real positive. You know, 1240 01:05:26,520 --> 01:05:28,920 Speaker 13: I think they're still trying to figure out corner. You know, 1241 01:05:29,000 --> 01:05:30,560 Speaker 13: the last thing you want to have happened. And you 1242 01:05:30,560 --> 01:05:32,880 Speaker 13: guys are well aware of this. Okay, we saw it 1243 01:05:32,880 --> 01:05:35,000 Speaker 13: a little bit last week, even though the Giants only 1244 01:05:35,240 --> 01:05:37,360 Speaker 13: you know, put up nine. Is the last thing you 1245 01:05:37,400 --> 01:05:40,400 Speaker 13: want to have happened. You mentioned Devonte Parker with with 1246 01:05:40,640 --> 01:05:42,960 Speaker 13: sort of trying to figure out the corner position, it 1247 01:05:43,080 --> 01:05:45,320 Speaker 13: being a little bit of a work in progress, the 1248 01:05:45,400 --> 01:05:48,120 Speaker 13: last thing you want to give up our big explosive plays, 1249 01:05:48,160 --> 01:05:51,040 Speaker 13: and all of a sudden, you know you're playing great defense, 1250 01:05:51,080 --> 01:05:53,120 Speaker 13: and you give up two or three of those, and 1251 01:05:53,160 --> 01:05:55,640 Speaker 13: now all of a sudden, you know you're trailing seventeen 1252 01:05:55,720 --> 01:05:58,120 Speaker 13: thirteen in the fourth quarter and it feels like, oh 1253 01:05:58,200 --> 01:06:00,440 Speaker 13: my god, where did this game go? Which is exactly 1254 01:06:00,480 --> 01:06:01,880 Speaker 13: what happened last week. 1255 01:06:01,960 --> 01:06:06,480 Speaker 3: Right, And when you talk about these linebackers Bernard and Williams, 1256 01:06:07,160 --> 01:06:12,240 Speaker 3: how critical thus far has the play of the defensive 1257 01:06:12,240 --> 01:06:14,600 Speaker 3: tackles in front of him, how much has that given 1258 01:06:14,640 --> 01:06:16,240 Speaker 3: them the ability not you know, not to have to 1259 01:06:16,280 --> 01:06:19,280 Speaker 3: step up and overcome that. The defensive line of the 1260 01:06:19,280 --> 01:06:21,280 Speaker 3: Bills has been playing really well. How well have they 1261 01:06:21,280 --> 01:06:21,920 Speaker 3: been playing. 1262 01:06:21,800 --> 01:06:23,560 Speaker 13: I would agree with that, and how much have they 1263 01:06:24,080 --> 01:06:26,120 Speaker 13: played well? But he's out this week, right, and he's 1264 01:06:26,120 --> 01:06:26,640 Speaker 13: actually out. 1265 01:06:26,760 --> 01:06:27,600 Speaker 3: He's out. 1266 01:06:28,120 --> 01:06:29,800 Speaker 13: No, I mean they do have depth there. It's not 1267 01:06:29,840 --> 01:06:32,000 Speaker 13: as if they're putting in guys off this tree. They 1268 01:06:32,000 --> 01:06:35,000 Speaker 13: do have good depth. But he's played well, you know, 1269 01:06:35,040 --> 01:06:36,880 Speaker 13: and I think they've gotten good play off the edge 1270 01:06:36,880 --> 01:06:39,120 Speaker 13: of this year. I mean, I've been very very impressed 1271 01:06:39,160 --> 01:06:41,960 Speaker 13: on tape with Leonard Floyd. He's played really really good 1272 01:06:41,960 --> 01:06:43,760 Speaker 13: football and you know he's going to be up again 1273 01:06:44,240 --> 01:06:46,840 Speaker 13: unless New England makes a change. I don't know their 1274 01:06:46,880 --> 01:06:49,400 Speaker 13: injury status, but unless they make a change, is it 1275 01:06:49,480 --> 01:06:51,600 Speaker 13: for Darien Lowe again at right tackle? As far as 1276 01:06:51,600 --> 01:06:52,240 Speaker 13: you guys. 1277 01:06:52,000 --> 01:06:56,480 Speaker 3: Know, No, no, I no, I don't think. I don't 1278 01:06:56,520 --> 01:06:57,840 Speaker 3: see any trade on the horizon. 1279 01:06:58,760 --> 01:07:01,320 Speaker 13: So you know, if it's low again at right tackle, 1280 01:07:01,640 --> 01:07:04,400 Speaker 13: then you're gonna have Floyd working against him. I mean, 1281 01:07:04,800 --> 01:07:08,880 Speaker 13: you know, I think, Look, everybody thought last week, and 1282 01:07:08,920 --> 01:07:11,400 Speaker 13: that's why they play the games, guys. Everybody thought last 1283 01:07:11,440 --> 01:07:14,760 Speaker 13: week in Buffalo Bill's thirty one Giants ten would be 1284 01:07:14,920 --> 01:07:17,360 Speaker 13: what everybody thought it was going to be. It didn't 1285 01:07:17,360 --> 01:07:19,480 Speaker 13: work out that way. You know, this game's in New England, 1286 01:07:20,560 --> 01:07:22,800 Speaker 13: you know, and they know they have a short week afterwards, 1287 01:07:22,800 --> 01:07:25,760 Speaker 13: playing Thursday night. You know, this is a week where 1288 01:07:25,800 --> 01:07:28,840 Speaker 13: you'd like to see them come out quick and fast 1289 01:07:28,920 --> 01:07:31,800 Speaker 13: and strong like they did numerous times a year ago. 1290 01:07:32,000 --> 01:07:33,720 Speaker 13: And all of a sudden in the second quarter it's 1291 01:07:33,760 --> 01:07:35,720 Speaker 13: twenty one to three, and not that you pack it 1292 01:07:35,800 --> 01:07:37,760 Speaker 13: up and go home at that point, but you feel 1293 01:07:37,800 --> 01:07:38,960 Speaker 13: like you've got a big cushion. 1294 01:07:39,600 --> 01:07:40,160 Speaker 3: Yeah. Right. 1295 01:07:41,480 --> 01:07:46,640 Speaker 2: Is there anything that you can foresee that would make 1296 01:07:46,680 --> 01:07:48,440 Speaker 2: the Patriots even. 1297 01:07:49,880 --> 01:07:52,240 Speaker 1: Marginally more competitive. 1298 01:07:51,720 --> 01:07:55,400 Speaker 2: On offense because it's even their run game, Greg, I 1299 01:07:55,400 --> 01:07:58,600 Speaker 2: mean they're run I mean Ramandre Stevenson's production has fallen 1300 01:07:58,640 --> 01:07:59,320 Speaker 2: off a cliff. 1301 01:07:59,320 --> 01:08:00,600 Speaker 1: He's averaging three. 1302 01:08:01,200 --> 01:08:04,600 Speaker 13: Cliff total cliff. They've not been able to run the ball, Brownie. 1303 01:08:04,680 --> 01:08:07,600 Speaker 13: I mean, look, all we have is the first six games. 1304 01:08:07,760 --> 01:08:11,440 Speaker 13: That's all we can address. But it's still NFL football. Okay, 1305 01:08:11,480 --> 01:08:14,400 Speaker 13: we saw that on Sunday night. So let's say, all 1306 01:08:14,400 --> 01:08:16,599 Speaker 13: of a sudden, Stevenson breaks off at thirty yarder, which 1307 01:08:16,680 --> 01:08:18,880 Speaker 13: is capable of Let's say all of a sudden, because 1308 01:08:18,920 --> 01:08:21,040 Speaker 13: we saw it last week with Slaton a couple of times. 1309 01:08:21,160 --> 01:08:23,160 Speaker 13: Let's say, all of a sudden, Jones hits Parker for 1310 01:08:23,200 --> 01:08:25,840 Speaker 13: a couple of forty yards. I mean, these things can happen, 1311 01:08:26,240 --> 01:08:29,280 Speaker 13: you know, so it's easy to say they're bad. And 1312 01:08:29,640 --> 01:08:32,880 Speaker 13: overall the tape suggests, you know, from like I said, 1313 01:08:32,920 --> 01:08:36,320 Speaker 13: to use my phrasing from earlier, a macro perspective, this 1314 01:08:36,479 --> 01:08:39,000 Speaker 13: is not a good offense. But you know, you know 1315 01:08:39,040 --> 01:08:41,280 Speaker 13: how that goes in this league. A couple of plays 1316 01:08:41,280 --> 01:08:44,040 Speaker 13: here and there, and suddenly it seems games can change, 1317 01:08:44,520 --> 01:08:48,000 Speaker 13: and you know you can't let those plays happen, especially 1318 01:08:48,040 --> 01:08:50,800 Speaker 13: since quite frankly, we're a little uncertain right now how 1319 01:08:50,840 --> 01:08:52,400 Speaker 13: the Bills will come out offensively. 1320 01:08:52,720 --> 01:08:54,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's that's kind of the way you see this. 1321 01:08:55,280 --> 01:08:57,040 Speaker 3: You know, there's a ton of ways you can see 1322 01:08:57,080 --> 01:08:59,120 Speaker 3: the Bills doing this, you know, running it, coming out, 1323 01:08:59,200 --> 01:09:01,240 Speaker 3: jumping out to a fat start. You can see the 1324 01:09:01,240 --> 01:09:03,120 Speaker 3: Bills winning this a number of ways. But if the 1325 01:09:03,160 --> 01:09:05,040 Speaker 3: Patriots are going to win, it's going to be a 1326 01:09:05,040 --> 01:09:06,960 Speaker 3: game like the Giants game or the Jets game. For 1327 01:09:07,000 --> 01:09:11,200 Speaker 3: the Billboards eighteen to fifteen or twelve to nine or 1328 01:09:11,240 --> 01:09:13,360 Speaker 3: fourteen to nine in the reverse like it was for 1329 01:09:13,439 --> 01:09:16,120 Speaker 3: the Giants and the Bills, right, I mean, that's that's 1330 01:09:16,160 --> 01:09:17,240 Speaker 3: the Patriots formula. 1331 01:09:18,560 --> 01:09:20,680 Speaker 13: Yeah. I mean, look, it took Josh Allen making a 1332 01:09:20,760 --> 01:09:23,360 Speaker 13: Josh Allen play on the Mars touchdown for them to 1333 01:09:23,400 --> 01:09:24,920 Speaker 13: go ahead and win, and then we went down to 1334 01:09:24,960 --> 01:09:27,280 Speaker 13: the final, you know. I mean, look, you don't want 1335 01:09:27,320 --> 01:09:29,160 Speaker 13: to be in that situation. You don't want to be 1336 01:09:29,160 --> 01:09:31,200 Speaker 13: in a situation where it's a one score game in 1337 01:09:31,200 --> 01:09:34,240 Speaker 13: the fourth quarter. And you know, again I spoke about 1338 01:09:34,240 --> 01:09:36,679 Speaker 13: some individual plays that weren't made in the first half. 1339 01:09:36,760 --> 01:09:39,600 Speaker 13: I mean even Josh's interception. I mean he threw that 1340 01:09:39,640 --> 01:09:42,760 Speaker 13: ball too flat. I mean the middle was wide open. 1341 01:09:42,840 --> 01:09:45,120 Speaker 13: If he just put a little firm touch on that 1342 01:09:45,360 --> 01:09:48,559 Speaker 13: instead of throwing a too flat god, Dawson Knox might 1343 01:09:48,600 --> 01:09:50,920 Speaker 13: still be running. He would have his head on the goalpost, 1344 01:09:51,120 --> 01:09:54,080 Speaker 13: you know. So it's little things like that that end 1345 01:09:54,200 --> 01:09:57,320 Speaker 13: up making games the way they were on Sunday night, 1346 01:09:57,600 --> 01:10:00,840 Speaker 13: when in fact, you know, they should won that game. 1347 01:10:01,120 --> 01:10:03,519 Speaker 13: I'm sure they felt should have won that game going away. 1348 01:10:03,760 --> 01:10:06,040 Speaker 13: So it's you know, it always comes down to little 1349 01:10:06,120 --> 01:10:09,320 Speaker 13: plays like that that changed the way games get played 1350 01:10:09,320 --> 01:10:11,080 Speaker 13: out over the course of four quarters. 1351 01:10:11,400 --> 01:10:14,920 Speaker 2: Last one, real quick, greg The three games in which 1352 01:10:14,960 --> 01:10:19,599 Speaker 2: Buffalo's offense have sputtered have come against three four fronts 1353 01:10:20,280 --> 01:10:22,280 Speaker 2: for the most part. And I know the Patriots play 1354 01:10:22,360 --> 01:10:25,240 Speaker 2: variations and sometimes it's a three, three, five and all 1355 01:10:25,280 --> 01:10:29,639 Speaker 2: that stuff. But again, here we are with what, in essence, 1356 01:10:29,680 --> 01:10:33,160 Speaker 2: for all intents and purposes, is an underfront. What do 1357 01:10:33,200 --> 01:10:36,760 Speaker 2: you what do you think if you wanted to formulate 1358 01:10:36,800 --> 01:10:41,080 Speaker 2: a theory as to what that front could throw at 1359 01:10:41,160 --> 01:10:44,639 Speaker 2: Buffalo's offense to continue to have them sputter the way 1360 01:10:44,640 --> 01:10:49,000 Speaker 2: they have in previous three games against defenses with that look. 1361 01:10:49,720 --> 01:10:53,160 Speaker 13: A lot of posts, snap movement, slants, things that that 1362 01:10:53,280 --> 01:10:56,240 Speaker 13: impact your blocking schemes. I thought the Giants didn't do 1363 01:10:56,280 --> 01:10:58,839 Speaker 13: a lot of that. I thought the most impressive element 1364 01:10:58,920 --> 01:11:00,960 Speaker 13: to me of the game the other night was the 1365 01:11:01,000 --> 01:11:03,920 Speaker 13: ability to run the ball inside against what would be 1366 01:11:04,000 --> 01:11:07,400 Speaker 13: viewed as the strength of the Giants defensive line, Williams 1367 01:11:07,400 --> 01:11:10,599 Speaker 13: and certainly Lawrence I guess, sexy dexy as he likes 1368 01:11:10,640 --> 01:11:14,080 Speaker 13: to be called, but that's the strength of the Giants 1369 01:11:14,120 --> 01:11:16,599 Speaker 13: d line, and they ran the ball between the tackles 1370 01:11:16,760 --> 01:11:20,120 Speaker 13: with efficiency. So I think, particularly with a rookie right 1371 01:11:20,200 --> 01:11:22,240 Speaker 13: guard and Torrance, who I thought played really well this 1372 01:11:22,280 --> 01:11:24,920 Speaker 13: past week. You want to change the look post snap, 1373 01:11:25,160 --> 01:11:28,320 Speaker 13: you want to slant, you want to send guys into gaps, 1374 01:11:28,320 --> 01:11:30,920 Speaker 13: you know, second level players into gaps. You want to 1375 01:11:30,960 --> 01:11:35,080 Speaker 13: do gap exchanges. All these kinds of things which change 1376 01:11:35,240 --> 01:11:37,840 Speaker 13: how you block post snap. Those are the kinds of 1377 01:11:37,880 --> 01:11:40,200 Speaker 13: things I would expect to Bill Belichick defense to do. 1378 01:11:40,479 --> 01:11:41,920 Speaker 13: You know, say what you want and you hit it 1379 01:11:42,000 --> 01:11:43,640 Speaker 13: right on the head. I think, Steve, you said it. 1380 01:11:43,840 --> 01:11:46,040 Speaker 13: You know, Belichick's not an idiot all of a sudden. 1381 01:11:46,240 --> 01:11:48,720 Speaker 13: You know, he's He's going to have tactics that are 1382 01:11:48,800 --> 01:11:52,120 Speaker 13: geared to dealing with this offense in this run game. 1383 01:11:52,280 --> 01:11:54,440 Speaker 13: But I would expect to see a lot of that Brownie. 1384 01:11:54,600 --> 01:11:57,200 Speaker 3: All right, Greg, thanks man, it's great talking to you again. 1385 01:11:58,080 --> 01:12:01,599 Speaker 13: Now, I love you guys. Hope maybe we can talk 1386 01:12:01,600 --> 01:12:03,000 Speaker 13: about an explosive offense. 1387 01:12:03,120 --> 01:12:06,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, that would be nice. Have a good weekend, all right, 1388 01:12:06,120 --> 01:12:07,320 Speaker 1: thank you? All right, that's great. 1389 01:12:07,320 --> 01:12:10,120 Speaker 2: Co Sale senior producer from NFL Films joining us every 1390 01:12:10,120 --> 01:12:12,880 Speaker 2: Friday as he does to kind of chop up the 1391 01:12:12,920 --> 01:12:17,360 Speaker 2: Bills and their future opponent. And yeah, I don't think 1392 01:12:17,400 --> 01:12:20,400 Speaker 2: the sample size is big enough to say, hey, these 1393 01:12:20,400 --> 01:12:24,000 Speaker 2: three four fronts are the major cause of the problem 1394 01:12:24,000 --> 01:12:26,800 Speaker 2: as to why Buffalo's offense is sputtering. I think it 1395 01:12:26,840 --> 01:12:28,439 Speaker 2: has more to do with the Bills than it does 1396 01:12:28,479 --> 01:12:31,240 Speaker 2: with their opponent in the grand scheme of things. But 1397 01:12:31,880 --> 01:12:34,559 Speaker 2: it does bear watching because here we are again this 1398 01:12:34,600 --> 01:12:37,559 Speaker 2: week against you another underfront, and let's let's see if 1399 01:12:37,560 --> 01:12:38,759 Speaker 2: they pose similar problems. 1400 01:12:38,840 --> 01:12:40,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, they are different. And for those of you don't know, 1401 01:12:40,760 --> 01:12:43,240 Speaker 3: it's five. It's a five man front across with two 1402 01:12:43,280 --> 01:12:46,559 Speaker 3: linebackers rather than four men across and three linebackers. And 1403 01:12:46,600 --> 01:12:49,000 Speaker 3: that's what the Bills play, the four to three And 1404 01:12:49,880 --> 01:12:52,080 Speaker 3: it's just more to think about for the offensive line, 1405 01:12:52,200 --> 01:12:54,560 Speaker 3: and it's much more difficult to predict who's going to 1406 01:12:54,880 --> 01:12:57,200 Speaker 3: rush the passer and who's going to drop out. Usually 1407 01:12:57,240 --> 01:13:00,800 Speaker 3: they will only rush four still, Yeah, but you don't 1408 01:13:00,840 --> 01:13:01,960 Speaker 3: know which four out of the five. 1409 01:13:02,439 --> 01:13:03,680 Speaker 1: And sometimes they play it. 1410 01:13:03,720 --> 01:13:05,439 Speaker 2: And actually I noticed this and we didn't even get 1411 01:13:05,479 --> 01:13:09,320 Speaker 2: into this with with Cosell. They play a good amount 1412 01:13:09,320 --> 01:13:13,080 Speaker 2: of dime, Steve like, they play more. Not many teams 1413 01:13:13,080 --> 01:13:14,400 Speaker 2: play a lot of dime, they do. 1414 01:13:14,520 --> 01:13:15,840 Speaker 3: They play more dime than Nickel. 1415 01:13:16,240 --> 01:13:20,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, So which is you know, a little unusual and 1416 01:13:20,120 --> 01:13:22,000 Speaker 2: something you have to adjust to, you know, and prepare for. 1417 01:13:22,720 --> 01:13:24,559 Speaker 2: We have to take a break here, but when we 1418 01:13:24,600 --> 01:13:27,040 Speaker 2: come back, we'll dip back into the obl Friday fan 1419 01:13:27,080 --> 01:13:29,400 Speaker 2: mail bag. We've got some other things in store for 1420 01:13:29,439 --> 01:13:31,920 Speaker 2: you as well, including Tailgate Friday coming your way here 1421 01:13:31,920 --> 01:13:34,240 Speaker 2: on one Bill's Live, presented by Collide Health. It's Buffalo 1422 01:13:34,240 --> 01:13:34,840 Speaker 2: Bills Radio. 1423 01:13:50,560 --> 01:13:51,240 Speaker 1: Welcome Back. 1424 01:13:51,640 --> 01:13:56,400 Speaker 2: Collision Course is brought to you by Gabes Collision. Gabe's Collision, 1425 01:13:56,400 --> 01:13:58,360 Speaker 2: the official auto collision repair center of. 1426 01:13:58,320 --> 01:14:01,120 Speaker 1: The Buffalo Bills. Get back in the game. 1427 01:14:01,960 --> 01:14:05,559 Speaker 2: We know the big matchup this week Steve Stefan Diggs 1428 01:14:05,800 --> 01:14:11,040 Speaker 2: with the cornerback for the Patriots who's just returned J C. 1429 01:14:11,439 --> 01:14:12,759 Speaker 1: Jackson via trade. 1430 01:14:13,520 --> 01:14:15,880 Speaker 2: Patriots fans were glad to see him back in a 1431 01:14:15,920 --> 01:14:19,120 Speaker 2: Patriots uniform. But I don't know if he's happy to 1432 01:14:19,160 --> 01:14:22,679 Speaker 2: see Stefan Diggs this week because over the last six games, 1433 01:14:23,920 --> 01:14:28,040 Speaker 2: so we're talking since twenty twenty, Stefan Diggs' stat lines 1434 01:14:28,280 --> 01:14:33,320 Speaker 2: are as follows. Six catches ninety two yards, nine catches 1435 01:14:33,360 --> 01:14:36,759 Speaker 2: one hundred and forty five yards, three touchdowns, four catches 1436 01:14:36,800 --> 01:14:39,559 Speaker 2: fifty one yards, seven for eighty five in a touch 1437 01:14:39,640 --> 01:14:41,960 Speaker 2: seven for ninety one in a touch seven for one 1438 01:14:42,040 --> 01:14:45,840 Speaker 2: oh four and a touchdown. He is one of those 1439 01:14:45,880 --> 01:14:48,600 Speaker 2: guys that, at least in his six games against the 1440 01:14:48,600 --> 01:14:52,840 Speaker 2: Patriots seems Belichick proof. There are so many players over 1441 01:14:52,840 --> 01:14:55,000 Speaker 2: the years that have been completely taken out of the 1442 01:14:55,040 --> 01:14:58,759 Speaker 2: game plan by Bill Belichick and his defensive scheming. 1443 01:14:59,000 --> 01:15:01,560 Speaker 3: Diggs is not one of the up No, Diggs is 1444 01:15:01,920 --> 01:15:04,599 Speaker 3: shined against the Patriots. And it was funny too, because 1445 01:15:04,600 --> 01:15:06,639 Speaker 3: that the game that I really remember was the Monday 1446 01:15:06,720 --> 01:15:10,280 Speaker 3: night game is thirty eight to that's not eight or something. 1447 01:15:10,479 --> 01:15:12,280 Speaker 1: The Belichick tablet throwing, that's right. 1448 01:15:12,280 --> 01:15:14,200 Speaker 3: The phone the phone. The phone throw. One of the 1449 01:15:14,240 --> 01:15:16,640 Speaker 3: most delicious moments of the last twenty five years in 1450 01:15:16,680 --> 01:15:20,160 Speaker 3: the NFL, indeed, and that was where and we got 1451 01:15:20,200 --> 01:15:21,920 Speaker 3: it kind of dawned on you and I at the 1452 01:15:21,920 --> 01:15:24,479 Speaker 3: same time. Diggs ain't Diggs wasn't here for any of 1453 01:15:24,520 --> 01:15:27,960 Speaker 3: that twenty year drought stuff. He just thinks the Patriots 1454 01:15:27,960 --> 01:15:30,280 Speaker 3: are another team and and bless his herd, he plays 1455 01:15:30,320 --> 01:15:33,600 Speaker 3: like it. And they've tried to take him out of. 1456 01:15:33,640 --> 01:15:35,519 Speaker 3: The one game they did kind of take him away 1457 01:15:36,280 --> 01:15:39,280 Speaker 3: was the Isaiah McKenzie game. Yeah, I don't even know 1458 01:15:39,280 --> 01:15:42,160 Speaker 3: if they took him away rather than just I was, 1459 01:15:44,040 --> 01:15:46,840 Speaker 3: well he was. He was working against Dougger who can't run. 1460 01:15:46,960 --> 01:15:49,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, and Miles Bryant, and he just. 1461 01:15:49,320 --> 01:15:53,320 Speaker 3: Outran those guys and Josh was just feeding him twelve 1462 01:15:53,320 --> 01:15:54,439 Speaker 3: targets eleven catches. 1463 01:15:54,600 --> 01:15:57,080 Speaker 2: Because I mean, if you go back far enough, and 1464 01:15:57,479 --> 01:16:01,040 Speaker 2: I do, with this series, like I remember Eric Bule's 1465 01:16:01,080 --> 01:16:04,160 Speaker 2: getting taken out of game plans by Belichick, you know 1466 01:16:04,200 --> 01:16:06,040 Speaker 2: where they could not get the ball to Moltz. 1467 01:16:06,520 --> 01:16:07,840 Speaker 1: They just took him away. 1468 01:16:07,880 --> 01:16:11,599 Speaker 2: And the Bills didn't have enough other answers to you know, 1469 01:16:11,680 --> 01:16:14,920 Speaker 2: overcome it. And for some reason, Diggs has been Belichick 1470 01:16:14,960 --> 01:16:15,639 Speaker 2: proof to this point. 1471 01:16:15,680 --> 01:16:16,360 Speaker 4: Knock on Wood. 1472 01:16:16,360 --> 01:16:20,559 Speaker 2: Hopefully it continues on Sunday, but that is the matchup 1473 01:16:20,640 --> 01:16:24,000 Speaker 2: we will have our eyes squarely focused on because J. C. 1474 01:16:24,200 --> 01:16:27,240 Speaker 2: Jackson has not had good answers for Stefon Diggs in 1475 01:16:27,280 --> 01:16:29,599 Speaker 2: the matchups that have taken place over the last few years. 1476 01:16:29,720 --> 01:16:33,200 Speaker 3: And here's the I think, particularly given you know what 1477 01:16:33,320 --> 01:16:35,280 Speaker 3: happened last week with in the first half, were had 1478 01:16:35,280 --> 01:16:38,880 Speaker 3: twelve the eighteen targets available in the first half, maybe 1479 01:16:38,920 --> 01:16:41,040 Speaker 3: if you're a guy like Belichick, you do it a 1480 01:16:41,040 --> 01:16:42,920 Speaker 3: little differently than you've done it in the past, which 1481 01:16:43,000 --> 01:16:45,519 Speaker 3: is kind of their modus operandi, right, So maybe they 1482 01:16:45,560 --> 01:16:47,559 Speaker 3: put j. C. Jackson on. I'm thinking he's their best 1483 01:16:47,560 --> 01:16:50,920 Speaker 3: cover guy. Plus he's got experience doing it and help 1484 01:16:51,120 --> 01:16:53,759 Speaker 3: every time. Maybe you just throw everything at Steph Diggs 1485 01:16:53,760 --> 01:16:57,120 Speaker 3: and say you're gonna beat us. Then Deontay Hardy or 1486 01:16:57,120 --> 01:16:59,879 Speaker 3: gave there, somebody else is gonna beat us. Yeah, nobody else. 1487 01:17:00,080 --> 01:17:01,000 Speaker 1: Usually been the approach. 1488 01:17:01,080 --> 01:17:01,719 Speaker 4: But right. 1489 01:17:03,280 --> 01:17:05,320 Speaker 1: This defense is slow. Yeah. 1490 01:17:06,280 --> 01:17:10,479 Speaker 3: One of the problems too for them is Josh because 1491 01:17:11,000 --> 01:17:13,920 Speaker 3: in games passing, you know, in the game of the 1492 01:17:13,920 --> 01:17:16,760 Speaker 3: playoff game, the perfect game we call it. You know, 1493 01:17:17,160 --> 01:17:22,599 Speaker 3: Josh takes literally nine seconds, between nine and ten seconds 1494 01:17:22,680 --> 01:17:24,920 Speaker 3: to throw the football. He's running around back there, and 1495 01:17:24,920 --> 01:17:26,400 Speaker 3: this one is the first touchdown of the game to 1496 01:17:26,520 --> 01:17:28,880 Speaker 3: Dawson Knox, where he finally lobs it over everybody and 1497 01:17:28,960 --> 01:17:31,559 Speaker 3: Dawson goes up and gets it. It took him nine seconds. 1498 01:17:33,200 --> 01:17:35,040 Speaker 3: You can't cover that long. It's just, you know, nobody 1499 01:17:35,080 --> 01:17:37,280 Speaker 3: can do it. And that's a problem that the Patriots 1500 01:17:37,280 --> 01:17:40,680 Speaker 3: have yet to address because once they start to try 1501 01:17:40,720 --> 01:17:44,720 Speaker 3: and keep Josh in the pocket, they struggle to cover 1502 01:17:44,800 --> 01:17:47,320 Speaker 3: guys up in the back end, and if Josh breaks contained, 1503 01:17:47,360 --> 01:17:50,880 Speaker 3: he snaps off a nineteen yard run or he throws 1504 01:17:50,920 --> 01:17:53,400 Speaker 3: it over the top. So Josh is as big a 1505 01:17:53,400 --> 01:17:55,600 Speaker 3: problem for those guys as Steph Diggs is, and I 1506 01:17:55,600 --> 01:17:59,720 Speaker 3: think they start there, but that's a that's a from 1507 01:17:59,720 --> 01:18:02,360 Speaker 3: giving what they've done defensively, it's a big ass. It's 1508 01:18:02,400 --> 01:18:04,519 Speaker 3: a big ask for them to all of a sudden 1509 01:18:04,640 --> 01:18:06,040 Speaker 3: rise up and stop Josh Allen. 1510 01:18:06,240 --> 01:18:10,600 Speaker 1: So that is Collision course brought to you by Gabe's Collision. 1511 01:18:11,479 --> 01:18:14,720 Speaker 1: We spin it forward to Tailgate Friday. 1512 01:18:15,000 --> 01:18:18,200 Speaker 2: Which Steve is presented by high marked Blue Cross, Blue Shield, 1513 01:18:18,240 --> 01:18:20,400 Speaker 2: the official healthcare plan of. 1514 01:18:20,360 --> 01:18:21,360 Speaker 1: The Buffalo Bills. 1515 01:18:21,479 --> 01:18:24,400 Speaker 2: And we've got a few submissions here this week, Steve. 1516 01:18:24,520 --> 01:18:30,360 Speaker 2: First one comes from Weikman, who says they're gonna be 1517 01:18:30,400 --> 01:18:35,639 Speaker 2: smoking some spatchcock chickens.

You'll never want to make roast 1527 01:18:55,000 --> 01:18:59,599 Speaker 2: chicken any other way. It's when a butcher, a chef, 1528 01:18:59,720 --> 01:19:04,120 Speaker 2: or a pro home cook removes a chicken backbone so 1529 01:19:04,160 --> 01:19:10,120 Speaker 2: that it lays flat. Well, I'll be also known as butterfly. 1530 01:19:11,600 --> 01:19:16,880 Speaker 1: Okay, now, Steve, I'm gonna ask you a question. Is 1531 01:19:16,880 --> 01:19:20,479 Speaker 1: that showing off? It's a little showing off, spatch cock chicken. 1532 01:19:20,640 --> 01:19:22,680 Speaker 1: You're showing off there? Just say you're butterflying. 1533 01:19:22,760 --> 01:19:24,920 Speaker 3: I'm gonna say this. I'm gonna say it's not showing 1534 01:19:24,960 --> 01:19:27,720 Speaker 3: off in the context of this show. It's more like grandstanding. 1535 01:19:30,760 --> 01:19:33,280 Speaker 1: All right, fair enough.

It does go good with that. 1603 01:22:53,120 --> 01:22:54,639 Speaker 3: Oh that's what she's doing here. 1604 01:22:54,520 --> 01:22:57,160 Speaker 2: She's yeah, well she has French onion. Yes, that's where 1605 01:22:57,160 --> 01:22:59,519 Speaker 2: it is acceptable for me. Really, but even then, I 1606 01:22:59,560 --> 01:23:01,240 Speaker 2: would take potato chip over pretzel. 1607 01:23:01,439 --> 01:23:04,640 Speaker 3: Really, French onion, the onion thing is the thing that 1608 01:23:04,680 --> 01:23:05,760 Speaker 3: sets the pretzel dip. 1609 01:23:06,000 --> 01:23:08,600 Speaker 1: I think I can what I'm saying.

That's about the only place where it's 1613 01:23:18,080 --> 01:23:22,759 Speaker 2: acceptable for me. Otherwise it's potato chip for a chip dip, 1614 01:23:23,320 --> 01:23:26,360 Speaker 2: and for anything remotely on the Mexican spectrum. 1615 01:23:26,600 --> 01:23:27,639 Speaker 1: It is a tortilla chip. 1616 01:23:28,360 --> 01:23:30,960 Speaker 3: Those of you who don't know, Brownie is a tortilla 1617 01:23:31,080 --> 01:23:31,879 Speaker 3: chip machine. 1618 01:23:31,960 --> 01:23:33,800 Speaker 1: I am an addict, that is what I am. And 1619 01:23:34,040 --> 01:23:37,080 Speaker 1: the first step in addiction is admitting your problem. And 1620 01:23:37,240 --> 01:23:38,280 Speaker 1: I have a nachio problem. 1621 01:23:38,360 --> 01:23:44,080 Speaker 3: Yes.

And you have made that 1623 01:23:46,040 --> 01:23:46,599 Speaker 3: step yet. 1624 01:23:47,040 --> 01:23:49,599 Speaker 1: No, there's no stopping me. I will say this. 1625 01:23:49,720 --> 01:23:53,080 Speaker 2: I did discover a new chip out there on the 1626 01:23:53,120 --> 01:24:00,360 Speaker 2: tortilla spectrum. They make chips now that are Salseevere Day flavored. 1627 01:24:01,720 --> 01:24:02,360 Speaker 3: Corn chips. 1628 01:24:02,840 --> 01:24:04,280 Speaker 1: No, no, tortilla chips. 1629 01:24:04,360 --> 01:24:05,080 Speaker 3: Tortilla chips. 1630 01:24:05,080 --> 01:24:09,599 Speaker 2: Well, yeah, they come from corn. Right, game changer because 1631 01:24:09,640 --> 01:24:11,280 Speaker 2: I am a big fan of Salsavere Day. 1632 01:24:11,320 --> 01:24:13,559 Speaker 3: If it's made properly, me too. 1633 01:24:13,640 --> 01:24:17,120 Speaker 2: Most people are red salsa people only, or Caeso people only. 1634 01:24:17,600 --> 01:24:20,679 Speaker 2: I run the gamut, I'll try, I'll dip a tortilla 1635 01:24:20,760 --> 01:24:25,360 Speaker 2: chip in just about anything. Found a bag of Salsavere 1636 01:24:25,439 --> 01:24:30,080 Speaker 2: Day flavored tortilla chips and they are the real mcgilla 1637 01:24:31,240 --> 01:24:34,880 Speaker 2: and I was just like, wow, these are outstanding. 1638 01:24:37,000 --> 01:24:38,960 Speaker 3: Well there you go. 1639 01:24:39,160 --> 01:24:40,160 Speaker 1: It was a game changer for me. 1640 01:24:40,240 --> 01:24:43,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, this is I think on these weekends where it's 1641 01:24:43,920 --> 01:24:47,920 Speaker 3: an away game, particularly the one o'clock away games, you 1642 01:24:47,960 --> 01:24:53,559 Speaker 3: still get a ton of people doing it up big. Yeah, 1643 01:24:53,800 --> 01:24:54,559 Speaker 3: especially while the. 1644 01:24:54,479 --> 01:24:56,680 Speaker 2: Weather's still nice and you can have people outside on 1645 01:24:56,760 --> 01:24:59,200 Speaker 2: your back patio and I get a little fire pit going. 1646 01:24:59,280 --> 01:25:01,400 Speaker 3: I still think I people still do it up big, 1647 01:25:01,600 --> 01:25:04,240 Speaker 3: And although you know, the stadium has its own atmosphere 1648 01:25:04,280 --> 01:25:06,680 Speaker 3: and people show up and they do it when it's 1649 01:25:06,680 --> 01:25:09,439 Speaker 3: an away game that it doesn't change. You just scattered 1650 01:25:09,479 --> 01:25:10,080 Speaker 3: throughout the region. 1651 01:25:10,120 --> 01:25:10,439 Speaker 4: That's right. 1652 01:25:10,439 --> 01:25:12,120 Speaker 3: People still do it. It's amazing. 1653 01:25:13,040 --> 01:25:16,920 Speaker 2: So get your apron on and get cooking this weekend. 1654 01:25:17,479 --> 01:25:20,600 Speaker 2: Some good submissions there on Tailgate Friday. Let's squeeze in 1655 01:25:20,680 --> 01:25:22,200 Speaker 2: a phone call here real quick and we go to 1656 01:25:22,280 --> 01:25:23,920 Speaker 2: Mark and West Seneca. What do you got for us? 1657 01:25:23,920 --> 01:25:24,120 Speaker 3: Mark? 1658 01:25:25,360 --> 01:25:29,599 Speaker 15: Good afternoon, gentlemen. I was so frustrated after the game 1659 01:25:29,640 --> 01:25:32,240 Speaker 15: on Sunday that I just turned everything off on Monday, 1660 01:25:32,320 --> 01:25:36,320 Speaker 15: didn't listen to anything anywhere, and stayed away from calling 1661 01:25:36,320 --> 01:25:39,920 Speaker 15: you guys all week. But I just wanted to call 1662 01:25:39,960 --> 01:25:43,200 Speaker 15: in today because I had heard a sound boye quote 1663 01:25:43,520 --> 01:25:45,960 Speaker 15: I don't remember who the player was on one of 1664 01:25:46,000 --> 01:25:49,839 Speaker 15: the morning shows from the Giants that the Giants defensive 1665 01:25:49,840 --> 01:25:53,519 Speaker 15: back said what we saw on tape is exactly what 1666 01:25:53,560 --> 01:25:57,200 Speaker 15: the Bills did, exactly what they ran and nothing changed. 1667 01:25:57,920 --> 01:26:01,720 Speaker 15: And that's a telling comment. I don't mean to overreact 1668 01:26:01,720 --> 01:26:04,760 Speaker 15: to it, because I know teams run certain plays over 1669 01:26:04,800 --> 01:26:07,000 Speaker 15: and over, they get good at them, they trust them, 1670 01:26:07,600 --> 01:26:10,080 Speaker 15: and that's what they do. But to me, where the 1671 01:26:10,800 --> 01:26:15,960 Speaker 15: great offensive teams separate themselves, it's inevitable that through two, three, 1672 01:26:16,080 --> 01:26:18,599 Speaker 15: four times a game they're going to run a play 1673 01:26:18,680 --> 01:26:21,280 Speaker 15: where they're going to scheme up something that the other 1674 01:26:21,320 --> 01:26:24,800 Speaker 15: team hasn't seen or isn't expecting, and that's what they 1675 01:26:24,840 --> 01:26:30,600 Speaker 15: separate themselves. And to me, underdoors, we haven't been doing that. 1676 01:26:30,640 --> 01:26:33,080 Speaker 15: The season seems to be starting to play out exactly 1677 01:26:33,120 --> 01:26:36,000 Speaker 15: like last year's Dif you asked me, last year, we 1678 01:26:36,040 --> 01:26:38,280 Speaker 15: came out of the gate game busters, doors looked great, 1679 01:26:38,920 --> 01:26:41,840 Speaker 15: everything was clicking. But as teams got film on us, 1680 01:26:42,280 --> 01:26:45,360 Speaker 15: we steadily struggled and we steadily went downhill like we 1681 01:26:45,400 --> 01:26:47,400 Speaker 15: were on skis until we got to the end of 1682 01:26:47,439 --> 01:26:50,599 Speaker 15: the season. And during that period of time, the same 1683 01:26:50,600 --> 01:26:52,920 Speaker 15: thing happened last year that seems to be happening now. 1684 01:26:53,400 --> 01:26:56,640 Speaker 15: Certain players were disappearing from the offense, either game to 1685 01:26:56,760 --> 01:27:00,000 Speaker 15: game or certainly in games, and we were relegating ourselves 1686 01:27:00,080 --> 01:27:03,519 Speaker 15: the two three players maybe at most offensively and not 1687 01:27:03,640 --> 01:27:06,960 Speaker 15: spreading the ball around consistently. And I know that can't 1688 01:27:06,960 --> 01:27:11,040 Speaker 15: totally be born blamed on Dorsey. Who knows what Josh 1689 01:27:11,120 --> 01:27:14,000 Speaker 15: is actually doing out there, what the play call is. 1690 01:27:14,080 --> 01:27:17,640 Speaker 15: We're just fans watching. But unless they get away from this, 1691 01:27:18,000 --> 01:27:19,679 Speaker 15: we're going to be going down that same road again. 1692 01:27:19,720 --> 01:27:23,880 Speaker 15: And it really scares me that I see Sherfield doesn't 1693 01:27:23,920 --> 01:27:26,040 Speaker 15: seem to be involved in the offense hard He's not 1694 01:27:26,160 --> 01:27:31,000 Speaker 15: involved again, Dawson Knox is not getting the balls thrown 1695 01:27:31,040 --> 01:27:34,120 Speaker 15: to him consistently, and I don't when you look at 1696 01:27:34,320 --> 01:27:36,120 Speaker 15: an offense and a guy is tired of three or 1697 01:27:36,160 --> 01:27:38,760 Speaker 15: four times, that's not being involved in the offense to 1698 01:27:38,840 --> 01:27:41,800 Speaker 15: me needs to be spread out more evenly. So I 1699 01:27:41,960 --> 01:27:44,519 Speaker 15: just wanted curious to what you guys say think about 1700 01:27:44,520 --> 01:27:47,520 Speaker 15: that one comment from the Giants in my comment. 1701 01:27:47,600 --> 01:27:50,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, And we don't have a lot of time here, Mark, 1702 01:27:50,360 --> 01:27:52,000 Speaker 2: We'll hit more of it on the other side. 1703 01:27:52,040 --> 01:27:54,120 Speaker 1: But I will say anybody. 1704 01:27:53,760 --> 01:27:56,639 Speaker 2: Would welcome more diversification in any offense because it makes 1705 01:27:56,640 --> 01:28:00,000 Speaker 2: it more difficult to defend. I would also tell you 1706 01:28:00,080 --> 01:28:02,599 Speaker 2: that Brian Dable knows this offense better than anybody because 1707 01:28:02,640 --> 01:28:06,920 Speaker 2: he invented it, so preparing his defense was probably easier 1708 01:28:06,920 --> 01:28:10,120 Speaker 2: for him and his defensive staff than most other defensive 1709 01:28:10,120 --> 01:28:15,840 Speaker 2: staffs in the league just because of his well high 1710 01:28:15,920 --> 01:28:17,800 Speaker 2: rate of knowledge into what makes a tick. 1711 01:28:18,080 --> 01:28:20,479 Speaker 3: And yeah, and there's also the idea too that he 1712 01:28:21,000 --> 01:28:23,120 Speaker 3: spent a couple of years with Ken Dorsey and knows 1713 01:28:23,120 --> 01:28:25,439 Speaker 3: how Ken Dorsey thinks as well, so he might have 1714 01:28:25,520 --> 01:28:28,920 Speaker 3: had the ability to tip his defense, you know, Wink Martindale, 1715 01:28:28,960 --> 01:28:31,360 Speaker 3: his defensive coordinator off to say, I think they will 1716 01:28:31,400 --> 01:28:34,200 Speaker 3: be thinking like this, so you might be able to 1717 01:28:34,200 --> 01:28:37,360 Speaker 3: try and stay a step ahead of them if you 1718 01:28:37,400 --> 01:28:39,679 Speaker 3: know their thought process and how they're going to do things, 1719 01:28:41,760 --> 01:28:44,200 Speaker 3: just stay out in front of them with adjustments. So 1720 01:28:44,880 --> 01:28:49,400 Speaker 3: there is that, and you're right, it does look uncomfortably 1721 01:28:49,439 --> 01:28:51,320 Speaker 3: familiar to what happened in the second half last year 1722 01:28:51,360 --> 01:28:53,479 Speaker 3: when we became a heavy lift and you know, they 1723 01:28:53,560 --> 01:28:56,639 Speaker 3: didn't have those easy throws and stuff like that. We'll see. 1724 01:28:57,520 --> 01:28:59,960 Speaker 3: I don't want to jump to conclusions. I mean they've 1725 01:29:00,080 --> 01:29:02,880 Speaker 3: had more good games than bad ones so far this year, 1726 01:29:02,960 --> 01:29:06,639 Speaker 3: or at least the same amount. We'll see. 1727 01:29:07,280 --> 01:29:09,120 Speaker 2: Gotta take a break, Steve and I close it up 1728 01:29:09,120 --> 01:29:10,439 Speaker 2: when we come back here on one Bill's Live. 1729 01:29:10,479 --> 01:29:27,200 Speaker 4: Stay tune all. 1730 01:29:27,160 --> 01:29:30,000 Speaker 2: Right, Welcome back time for Vision to Victory, presented by 1731 01:29:30,080 --> 01:29:32,720 Speaker 2: Adwall eye Care, the official eye care provider of the 1732 01:29:32,720 --> 01:29:35,360 Speaker 2: Buffalo Bill. Steve, I just think they should diversify the offense, 1733 01:29:35,439 --> 01:29:38,040 Speaker 2: get more people involved, spread the ball around, and have 1734 01:29:38,240 --> 01:29:39,840 Speaker 2: patriots looking every which way but up. 1735 01:29:39,960 --> 01:29:42,639 Speaker 3: I agree. I think you need to have at least 1736 01:29:42,960 --> 01:29:45,920 Speaker 3: six different receivers in your first drive to try and 1737 01:29:45,960 --> 01:29:47,960 Speaker 3: spread it around and put them on their heels. 1738 01:29:48,400 --> 01:29:51,320 Speaker 1: That is Vision to Victory. Let's hope for a victory. 1739 01:29:51,720 --> 01:29:54,120 Speaker 2: If so, we'll be talking about it on Monday, and 1740 01:29:54,160 --> 01:29:56,040 Speaker 2: if not, we'll still be talking on Monday. 1741 01:29:56,080 --> 01:29:57,000 Speaker 1: We'll see at noon. 1742 01:30:03,360 --> 01:30:03,400 Speaker 9: He
