It's yeah, bring the 12 00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:12,600 Speaker 1: rain gear. Apparently it's supposed to rain like almost the 13 00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:13,840 Speaker 1: entire week here in. 14 00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:16,600 Speaker 2: Western New York. It's raining now, it is raining now. 15 00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:18,880 Speaker 2: We're supposed to get one to two inches of rain today. 16 00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:21,319 Speaker 4: That's a lot, Thank goodness, it's now. 17 00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:24,840 Speaker 1: That's like twenty inches of snow at least, because what 18 00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:26,640 Speaker 1: do they say? It's one inch of rain is ten 19 00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:29,560 Speaker 1: inches of snow? Isn't it a one to ten ratio? 20 00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:31,840 Speaker 4: I seem to know. I don't know why that's second 21 00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:34,119 Speaker 4: a little to me. I thought, Oh it's too small. 22 00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:36,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's an inch for a foot. Is 23 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:38,479 Speaker 2: that what it is? I thought it was ten inches 24 00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:39,520 Speaker 2: of snow for one inch of rain. 25 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:41,400 Speaker 4: Why am I asking Google the hell out of that, 26 00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:42,959 Speaker 4: and I'm gonna find out. 27 00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:43,800 Speaker 2: You figure that out. 28 00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:45,039 Speaker 4: Talk amongst yourself, you. 29 00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:45,640 Speaker 2: Figure that out. 30 00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:49,800 Speaker 1: Why I while I discuss the rest of this here, 31 00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:54,720 Speaker 1: because there is Bill's injury news to discuss based on 32 00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:57,480 Speaker 1: some of the comments that head coach Sean mcdermoy made 33 00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,200 Speaker 1: late yesterday when he addressed the media. It was after 34 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:01,840 Speaker 1: we were off the air, so we couldn't bring this 35 00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:02,320 Speaker 1: news to you. 36 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:02,520 Speaker 2: Then. 37 00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:04,480 Speaker 4: One of rain, thirteen inches of snow. 38 00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:05,760 Speaker 2: Thirteen inches of snow. 39 00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:10,560 Speaker 4: Now there's a bit price. You can vary from two 40 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:14,000 Speaker 4: inches to fifty inches for dry you know, I mean 41 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,079 Speaker 4: it can go depending on how dry the snow is. 42 00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:18,920 Speaker 2: Wait, wait, wait, hold on a second. The range is what. 43 00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:22,919 Speaker 4: It's It says thirteen inches of snow equals one inch 44 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:26,959 Speaker 4: of rain in the US, although it differs. This ratio 45 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:32,079 Speaker 4: can vary from two inches for sleet to nearly fifty 46 00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:35,639 Speaker 4: inches for very dry, powdery snow under certain conditions, which 47 00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:37,240 Speaker 4: would be like an an arctache or. 48 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:39,720 Speaker 2: Something, or up in the mountains and like aspen or something. 49 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,480 Speaker 4: So you so, in the US, that is a wide 50 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,519 Speaker 4: variance thirteen inches per inch of snow. So if we 51 00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:47,440 Speaker 4: get to it I would not twenty six inches. 52 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:50,320 Speaker 1: I would not have guessed where you live would make 53 00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:53,560 Speaker 1: the snow to rain ratio different. 54 00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:54,920 Speaker 2: That is. 55 00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:58,320 Speaker 1: Now, that's something that I just learned today. Thank you 56 00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:01,320 Speaker 1: Steve for providing that information. We are a full service show. 57 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:06,400 Speaker 1: But getting back to the Bill's injury news, there are 58 00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:10,080 Speaker 1: two players on the list in addition to the ones 59 00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 1: that came out of last week's game. We know Daikwon 60 00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:18,200 Speaker 1: Jones and Matt Mlano had two pretty serious injuries. Neither 61 00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:22,639 Speaker 1: of those injuries have been declared season ending yet. Head 62 00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:24,679 Speaker 1: coach Sean McDermott said they have to find out more 63 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:28,960 Speaker 1: information on both to ascertain whether both have even a 64 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,959 Speaker 1: remote chance of making it back before the season is over. 65 00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:36,160 Speaker 1: We know they're out indefinitely. Both will need surgery for 66 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:38,400 Speaker 1: their respective injuries, so we wish them well on that 67 00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:42,600 Speaker 1: front and hope if there is some way possible for 68 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:44,839 Speaker 1: them to recuperate and be healthy enough to get back 69 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,080 Speaker 1: before the end of the season that that in fact happens. 70 00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:50,480 Speaker 1: I was looking up an advanced metrics steve for pass 71 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:54,520 Speaker 1: rush win rate at the defensive tackle position, and even 72 00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,080 Speaker 1: if you don't know how to read these analytic charts, 73 00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:00,200 Speaker 1: all you need to know is whoever the hell is 74 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:02,800 Speaker 1: in the upper right hand corner is the best at 75 00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,640 Speaker 1: whatever the metric is, And it's day Kwon Jones by 76 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:09,360 Speaker 1: a mile among defensive tackles in the entire league pass 77 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:11,800 Speaker 1: rush win rate. He was really playing out of his socks, 78 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:16,400 Speaker 1: and it's just a shame. You know that he's blessed 79 00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:19,000 Speaker 1: you that he's got that pectoral injury that's going to 80 00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:19,880 Speaker 1: require surgery. 81 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:21,960 Speaker 4: You're saying, if you don't know how to read those analytics, 82 00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:22,560 Speaker 4: what are you saying there? 83 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,279 Speaker 1: You're looking at me saying, you know, look, half the 84 00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:31,320 Speaker 1: time I can't even fully understand the breath of what 85 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:34,400 Speaker 1: they're measuring. Sometimes I just know the guys in the 86 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:36,479 Speaker 1: upper right hand corner are the best at whatever they're massing. 87 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:38,960 Speaker 4: They put those things out there a lot. You're getting 88 00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:40,680 Speaker 4: them a lot because all the everybody in their own. 89 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,000 Speaker 2: Like Computer Cowboy and some other guys. 90 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,440 Speaker 4: They're all doing their own analytics, and it's you're right, 91 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:46,720 Speaker 4: day Kwon's way up there. 92 00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:47,520 Speaker 2: So it's a shame. 93 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:50,800 Speaker 1: I really think they are going to be fine at 94 00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:54,240 Speaker 1: defensive tackle. That is not the position I'm concerned about. 95 00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:56,480 Speaker 1: The reason why is you've had poona Ford inactive the 96 00:04:56,560 --> 00:05:00,400 Speaker 1: last three games. It's pretty nice when you could pull 97 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:02,480 Speaker 1: a guy like that off your bench and put him 98 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:07,480 Speaker 1: in your rotation at defensive tackle. So this is why 99 00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:12,280 Speaker 1: Brandon Bean went out and got proven quality depth for 100 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:13,080 Speaker 1: this roster. 101 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:16,200 Speaker 4: You know, at Oliver's not playing badly. 102 00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:18,719 Speaker 2: No, he's doing pretty good in that area too. 103 00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:19,719 Speaker 4: He's in the mix. 104 00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:21,640 Speaker 2: But it was just those. 105 00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:23,960 Speaker 1: Those are the only two guys I saw on there 106 00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:27,240 Speaker 1: for the Bills at defensive tackle. But I feel good 107 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:30,040 Speaker 1: about Look, I was very happy when they signed Punaford, 108 00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:34,400 Speaker 1: proven starter, good run stuffer. I think he's going to 109 00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,560 Speaker 1: really help fill that void. I'm not saying he's Daikwon Jones, 110 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:42,480 Speaker 1: but I don't think he's far off linebacker. Maybe a 111 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:44,800 Speaker 1: little bit more of a concern Steve, you know, knowing 112 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,960 Speaker 1: Milano's out, and definitely it's never easy to replace an 113 00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:53,920 Speaker 1: All Pro. But you've got Dorian Williams, You've got Tyrel Dodson, 114 00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 1: and then if you want more depth because those guys 115 00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:00,200 Speaker 1: are going to play more on defense and presumably a 116 00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:04,000 Speaker 1: little bit less on special teams. Do you forget who 117 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:05,800 Speaker 1: we have on IR right now, who might be ready to. 118 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,440 Speaker 2: Return, Who Baylen Spector. 119 00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 4: Oh, that's right. 120 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:10,840 Speaker 2: Who's good on special teams? 121 00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 4: That's right, you know what I mean? Guy depth there, 122 00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:17,960 Speaker 4: and he's got knowledge about the the the defense as well. 123 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:18,960 Speaker 4: He's got some experience in it. 124 00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:19,200 Speaker 5: Yeah. 125 00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:21,120 Speaker 4: Absolutely, he's a perfect candidate, SHO. 126 00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:23,160 Speaker 1: So he went on IR at the beginning of the 127 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:24,560 Speaker 1: season with a hamstring injury. 128 00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:25,160 Speaker 2: We've seen him. 129 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:27,320 Speaker 1: He's working his tail off here trying to get himself back. 130 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:29,760 Speaker 1: I don't know if he's ready to return yet, but 131 00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:32,039 Speaker 1: it'd be nice if he was, because we're like a 132 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:35,400 Speaker 1: month removed, you know, and we don't know the severity 133 00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:37,640 Speaker 1: of the hamstring injury. But hopefully he's able to return 134 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:39,480 Speaker 1: sooner rather than later, because that would be some welcome 135 00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:42,360 Speaker 1: depth and you can use him on special teams if 136 00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:44,920 Speaker 1: you need one or both of those guys, because both 137 00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:47,640 Speaker 1: of them did play, you know, at linebacker last week 138 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:52,520 Speaker 1: in the absence of Milana against the Jaguars, so presumably 139 00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:55,000 Speaker 1: one or both of them are going to be playing 140 00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:58,200 Speaker 1: less snaps on special teams. So if Specter is healthy 141 00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:00,760 Speaker 1: enough to come off of IR, that would be, you know, 142 00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:05,720 Speaker 1: a welcome addition to the linebacking corps. Young player knows 143 00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 1: the defense has been here. You know, I just has 144 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,160 Speaker 1: a proven track record with his coaching staff. So that 145 00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:14,760 Speaker 1: would be a guy who's if his hamstring is ready. 146 00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:19,640 Speaker 1: The timing couldn't be better. You know, I understand fans 147 00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:21,320 Speaker 1: out there want you know, I want this guy. 148 00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:23,960 Speaker 2: I want that guy. I want that guy. This team 149 00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:25,760 Speaker 2: traditionally looks in house first. 150 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:29,200 Speaker 1: Well, yeah, promotes from within, and then if that doesn't work, 151 00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:30,160 Speaker 1: then they look outside. 152 00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:31,679 Speaker 4: Yeah, And that's the way it is for most teams 153 00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:33,440 Speaker 4: because you got to have guys who know the system 154 00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:34,960 Speaker 4: and can go in there and you make a play call. 155 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:37,280 Speaker 4: They don't know they know what you're talking about, whether 156 00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:38,920 Speaker 4: they play it right or not. At least they know 157 00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:41,360 Speaker 4: what you're talking about what they're supposed to do. And 158 00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:44,320 Speaker 4: that takes time. It takes training camp, it takes practices, 159 00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:46,160 Speaker 4: it takes reps, and you get a guy off the street, 160 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:48,240 Speaker 4: he's you're gonna be talking a foreign language to him 161 00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:51,040 Speaker 4: and you just can't get it done. So you always 162 00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:52,240 Speaker 4: promote from within first. 163 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,840 Speaker 1: The other good news on the injury front is the 164 00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:59,040 Speaker 1: three players who missed last week's game due to injury. 165 00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:04,200 Speaker 1: Greg ruse So, Christian Benford, Shaq Lawson all three of 166 00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:08,800 Speaker 1: them were described as improving by head coach Sean McDermott 167 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:13,440 Speaker 1: and more importantly, day to day. I mean, we all 168 00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:16,840 Speaker 1: kind of were walking on pins and needles, you know, 169 00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:20,080 Speaker 1: hoping none of those three guys would be described as 170 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:23,480 Speaker 1: week to week injuries because that would put them immediately 171 00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:26,280 Speaker 1: in doubt for this week's game against the Giants. All 172 00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:29,960 Speaker 1: three of them, Rousseau, Benford and Lawson described as day 173 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:30,640 Speaker 1: to day. 174 00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:32,319 Speaker 2: By head coach Sean McDermott. 175 00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:35,839 Speaker 1: That is good news, but there are two additions to 176 00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:39,960 Speaker 1: the injury report and they play the same position. Dalton 177 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:44,000 Speaker 1: Kincaid is in the concussion protocol. If we remember, he 178 00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:46,880 Speaker 1: got dinged in the game, came out, got examined by 179 00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:52,400 Speaker 1: an independent neurological consultant, checked out fine, and Steve you 180 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:55,080 Speaker 1: probably know this. I'm not telling saying anything you don't know, 181 00:08:55,160 --> 00:09:00,360 Speaker 1: but sometimes concussion symptoms will show up twenty four hours later, 182 00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:04,400 Speaker 1: and presumably that's what happened for Dalton Kincaid. So he 183 00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:08,360 Speaker 1: is in the concussion protocol. This week, we'll see if 184 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:12,120 Speaker 1: and when he gets back on the practice field, they 185 00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:15,040 Speaker 1: have the return to participation protocol that he must now 186 00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:18,720 Speaker 1: travel through the course of this week. We'll see players 187 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,040 Speaker 1: have come back in a week. You know, if it's 188 00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:24,520 Speaker 1: a Grade one concussion, you got a great greater chance 189 00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:26,800 Speaker 1: of coming back and playing the following week. But we'll 190 00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:28,199 Speaker 1: have to just see how he makes his way through 191 00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:31,640 Speaker 1: the week. Dawson Knox meanwhile, has a wrist injury that 192 00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:33,600 Speaker 1: he's been dealing with. It's kind of been a nagging 193 00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:36,240 Speaker 1: thing the last few weeks. He's been able to play, 194 00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:40,559 Speaker 1: but he also is gonna be on the injury report 195 00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:42,599 Speaker 1: this week, according to the head coach Sean McDermott. So 196 00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:45,840 Speaker 1: it's like I said yesterday, they really got to just 197 00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:48,840 Speaker 1: triage this thing and try to manage it as best 198 00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:49,199 Speaker 1: they can. 199 00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:51,439 Speaker 4: And it's at this time of year and we you 200 00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:54,360 Speaker 4: know we unfortunately last last year and this year too, 201 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:57,959 Speaker 4: and they're really going you spend most of the first 202 00:09:58,000 --> 00:09:59,800 Speaker 4: half of the week finding out who's that actually going 203 00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:03,080 Speaker 4: to be available, and then you start preparing. In a 204 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:05,880 Speaker 4: perfect world, you prepare six days a week instead of 205 00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:10,800 Speaker 4: five days a week, four days a week. So, yeah, 206 00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:12,959 Speaker 4: they don't know what they They still don't know who's 207 00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:15,680 Speaker 4: going to be available. Yet that's a problem, right, that's 208 00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:16,480 Speaker 4: a real problem. 209 00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:18,440 Speaker 2: The other thing is. 210 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:21,520 Speaker 1: For the second straight week, the Bills fortified their ranks 211 00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:25,160 Speaker 1: at the cornerback position with a practice squad signing. Last week, 212 00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:29,199 Speaker 1: they signed free agent cornerback Herb Miller to their practice squad. 213 00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:34,080 Speaker 1: This week, they signed veteran Josh Norman to their practice squad. 214 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:38,320 Speaker 1: Age thirty five played two games for the Carolina Panthers 215 00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:42,079 Speaker 1: last season. Obviously, he played here in twenty twenty. 216 00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:42,760 Speaker 2: I believe he. 217 00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:45,760 Speaker 1: Played in twelve games for the Bills that year, so 218 00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:49,480 Speaker 1: I understand it. You know, you're looking for a veteran 219 00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:52,719 Speaker 1: knows the system doesn't need a lot of schooling on it, 220 00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:57,000 Speaker 1: so you got him in reserve there on the practice squad. 221 00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,959 Speaker 1: People are going nuts on social media. Bills fans Samwow, 222 00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:03,480 Speaker 1: he's thirty five. They're not putting him on the field 223 00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:03,960 Speaker 1: on Sunday. 224 00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:04,280 Speaker 2: People. 225 00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:07,640 Speaker 1: They got this guy as veteran insurance. We've seen them 226 00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:10,680 Speaker 1: do this before at other positions. He's here on the practice. 227 00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:13,920 Speaker 1: He's here to help veteran insurance. If he is in 228 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:18,000 Speaker 1: case of emergency, break glass type of guy on the practice. 229 00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:21,400 Speaker 4: He's not gonna He's here to help him prepare, not play. 230 00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:26,599 Speaker 4: That's why he's here. He'll he'll acclimate in, he'll be 231 00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:29,000 Speaker 4: you know, guys will know him. He's he'll fold in. 232 00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,440 Speaker 4: He's a culture fit, all of that stuff. He's just 233 00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:34,120 Speaker 4: here to help him prepare. They Herb Miller will go 234 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:39,880 Speaker 4: in before he will, So yeah, that's you can just 235 00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:43,320 Speaker 4: bet on that. So that's you gotta have bodies to practice. 236 00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:45,000 Speaker 4: You gotta have bodies to play. You gotta have guys 237 00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:48,800 Speaker 4: go and and a guy like Josh Norman could come 238 00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:53,120 Speaker 4: in and contribute mentally to the young guy, guys like 239 00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:56,040 Speaker 4: Herb Miller and guys like you know, Cam, all these guys. 240 00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:59,560 Speaker 4: He'll help those guys get ready to play and have 241 00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:02,920 Speaker 4: something to off him without actually ever even having to 242 00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:06,200 Speaker 4: take a snap in a real game. That's why he's here. 243 00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:12,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, so you're gonna have presumably, I mean, I'm assuming 244 00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:14,280 Speaker 1: by the end of the week, you will probably see 245 00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:17,880 Speaker 1: Milano and Daikwon Jones on injured reserve, which would then 246 00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:22,640 Speaker 1: open two roster spots. If I'm guessing, and I am guessing, 247 00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:27,400 Speaker 1: I would think the call up at corner if they 248 00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:30,800 Speaker 1: feel one is needed, would be JaMarcus Ingram, who dressed 249 00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:34,600 Speaker 1: for last week's game as a practice squad elevation otherwise 250 00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:37,640 Speaker 1: you're bringing in a linebacker to fortify the ranks there, 251 00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:41,000 Speaker 1: because if Benford's healthy, then you don't need the extra corner. 252 00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:43,400 Speaker 1: But we know Milano is not going to be healthy 253 00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:46,280 Speaker 1: anytime soon, so maybe the addition is at linebacker, and 254 00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:48,760 Speaker 1: you know, if Baal Inspector's healthy, I would expect it 255 00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:51,920 Speaker 1: to be him. And then on the defensive line, you're 256 00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:53,920 Speaker 1: gonna get an open roster spot there. Do you add 257 00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:56,720 Speaker 1: a corner because you have Puniford and you know you're covered, 258 00:12:57,679 --> 00:12:59,440 Speaker 1: or do you feel you need to add somebody like 259 00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:02,360 Speaker 1: a Kendalls who was a practice squad elevation last week. 260 00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:03,440 Speaker 2: We'll have to wait and see. 261 00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:06,000 Speaker 1: Those are some decisions that the coaching staff and the 262 00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:08,200 Speaker 1: front office are going to have to make in the 263 00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:09,280 Speaker 1: span of the next. 264 00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:11,960 Speaker 2: Four or five days. So we'll have to keep our 265 00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:12,720 Speaker 2: eye on that. 266 00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:19,160 Speaker 1: You know, I know fans out there talking about, ah, 267 00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:24,280 Speaker 1: we should acquire this guy or pump the brakes. Let's 268 00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:27,400 Speaker 1: just see how this roster does. You know, it's not 269 00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:31,240 Speaker 1: dire straits yet, it's not good. You lost two All 270 00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:35,880 Speaker 1: Pro defenders in Tredavious White and Matt Mulano indefinitely, and 271 00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:38,680 Speaker 1: you lost a defensive tackle who was playing better football 272 00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:41,400 Speaker 1: from a pass rushing perspective than any other defensive tackle 273 00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:44,079 Speaker 1: in the league according to the advanced metrics. 274 00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:48,160 Speaker 2: That sucks. I mean, don't get me wrong, that's awful. 275 00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:54,959 Speaker 1: But you sign guys, proven veteran players to have in reserve. 276 00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:57,920 Speaker 1: Now they are being called upon. Let's just see how 277 00:13:57,960 --> 00:13:58,440 Speaker 1: it looks. 278 00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:01,679 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean put forward. 279 00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:03,760 Speaker 1: I mean that guy would be starting on twelve fourteen 280 00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:04,839 Speaker 1: other teams in this league. 281 00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:07,079 Speaker 4: Yes, he's a good player, really good player. And we 282 00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:09,440 Speaker 4: saw him. He played very well in the preseason and 283 00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:11,520 Speaker 4: two and in training camp. You and I were watching 284 00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:13,880 Speaker 4: closely at those guys up front. I was a little 285 00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:16,400 Speaker 4: surprised he was. He's been inactive with the way they camp. 286 00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:18,000 Speaker 4: He had But these guys are playing, the guys are 287 00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:20,640 Speaker 4: playing out Stanley ahead of him. So what are you 288 00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:24,200 Speaker 4: gonna do? But you talk about that, they've got four 289 00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:28,720 Speaker 4: they've got a defensive end. They've got Cameron Kleine, They've 290 00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:34,200 Speaker 4: got yeah, yeah, they've got Kendall Vickers who was up 291 00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:36,360 Speaker 4: this last week. And those are the only defensive linemen 292 00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:38,120 Speaker 4: they've got on the practice squad at the current time. 293 00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:40,880 Speaker 4: They got four corners. Herb Miller, Josh Norman that we've 294 00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:45,160 Speaker 4: been talking about. They also have JaMarcus Ingram and Kyron 295 00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:52,080 Speaker 4: Brown as well, and interestingly enough, all those guys, with 296 00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:56,680 Speaker 4: the exception of Josh Norman, they're all six to two. 297 00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:00,520 Speaker 4: I mean that's kind of they've got some traits. 298 00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:01,560 Speaker 2: I think they want to type. 299 00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:06,200 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think they do, right, So I think they've 300 00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:08,200 Speaker 4: got it lined up the way they want for these guys, 301 00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:10,800 Speaker 4: and they're in parachuting into the lineup if they're indeed needed. 302 00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:15,360 Speaker 4: But you know that that game last week was I mean, 303 00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:18,800 Speaker 4: it's the topic of discussion because it looked like literally 304 00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:25,960 Speaker 4: every single play you were losing a gigantic name. When 305 00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:29,760 Speaker 4: Milana went down and Daikwan Jones went down was in 306 00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:32,360 Speaker 4: the same series of downs. I mean it was like 307 00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:37,280 Speaker 4: boom boom, and then also uh, then you got uh Kingsley, 308 00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:41,560 Speaker 4: Jonathan hobbled off, Leonard Floyd hobbled off. I mean this 309 00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:45,240 Speaker 4: was all within five minutes. I thought it was like 310 00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:50,760 Speaker 4: a joke. Now those guys, you know, obviously Jonathan comes 311 00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:54,560 Speaker 4: back in, so does Floyd, but Floyd's not right, He's 312 00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:56,600 Speaker 4: he's he was limping around after the game. I mean, 313 00:15:57,160 --> 00:15:59,960 Speaker 4: it was bad. I mean it's really bad. And that's 314 00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:03,240 Speaker 4: unfortunately we all know. I mean that that's the one 315 00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:07,600 Speaker 4: thing you can't control as a GM, as a head coach, anybody. 316 00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:11,520 Speaker 4: It's a roll of the dice, a roll of the dice. 317 00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:13,400 Speaker 4: And we were talking today, we're looking around the league. 318 00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:16,800 Speaker 4: Bills aren't the only ones. A lot of guys around 319 00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:21,920 Speaker 4: the league on every roster are dropping eight Chen indefinitely, 320 00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:22,880 Speaker 4: definitely in Miami. 321 00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:28,280 Speaker 1: James Connor, the running back for Arizona, out indefinitely. The 322 00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:31,320 Speaker 1: Jets lost starting right guard Elijah Vera Tucker on their 323 00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:32,760 Speaker 1: offensive line for the season. 324 00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:33,960 Speaker 4: That guy is a good player. 325 00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:37,120 Speaker 1: I mean he's he's arguably their best offensive linement on 326 00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:38,280 Speaker 1: the whole team. 327 00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:39,080 Speaker 2: Gone for the year. 328 00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:43,960 Speaker 4: So yeah, it's unfortunately. It's that time of year where 329 00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:45,760 Speaker 4: it starts to you start to it starts to take 330 00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:48,960 Speaker 4: its toll early on. Everybody's got a plan. It's like 331 00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:50,800 Speaker 4: Mike Tyson, everybody's got a plan to get punched in 332 00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:53,040 Speaker 4: the mouth. Everybody's getting punched right now, a lot of 333 00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:54,600 Speaker 4: teams in the league. And it's that time of year 334 00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:58,880 Speaker 4: where your plan as kind of already been tested in 335 00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:01,440 Speaker 4: the first month. Now you into the second month, is like, okay, 336 00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:04,920 Speaker 4: now what do we do now? And you start looking 337 00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:06,720 Speaker 4: around in the locker room at guys who you didn't 338 00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:10,280 Speaker 4: think you're going to have to depend on, and amazingly, 339 00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:12,320 Speaker 4: some of them start to look pretty darn good. So 340 00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:15,840 Speaker 4: I'm glad we've got you.

In case you were 344 00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:26,639 Speaker 1: wondering what is the best way for the Bills to 345 00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:30,280 Speaker 1: adjust following the rash of injuries, Maybe you don't think 346 00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:32,240 Speaker 1: they need to do anything. Maybe you just let things 347 00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:35,119 Speaker 1: settle out. See how the guys who you have to 348 00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:39,040 Speaker 1: plug in and play fair?

Who So we'll 370 00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:33,320 Speaker 1: get to some of those when we get a chance. 371 00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:34,560 Speaker 1: But we want to get to the phones because we've 372 00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:36,080 Speaker 1: got some people waiting there at eight o three oh 373 00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:37,520 Speaker 1: five to fifty. Do you have an open line for 374 00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:39,280 Speaker 1: you though, if you want to jump on board. We 375 00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:41,520 Speaker 1: lead off today with Mark in New Jersey. 376 00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:42,120 Speaker 2: What do you got for us? 377 00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:42,320 Speaker 4: Mark? 378 00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:45,880 Speaker 6: Well, good afternoon, gentlemen, Thanks for taking my call. Sure, 379 00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:50,080 Speaker 6: I'm on line with you guys. And they they've drafted 380 00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:52,679 Speaker 6: Dorin Williams in the third round for a reason. You 381 00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:54,680 Speaker 6: know a lot of fans were clamoring him for him 382 00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:56,919 Speaker 6: to start. They got bummed when they found out he 383 00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:58,480 Speaker 6: was going to back up Milano and not be in 384 00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:01,040 Speaker 6: line for the middle linebacker spot. I mean, you can 385 00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:04,080 Speaker 6: argue Kyrie Elan was their best corner in the last 386 00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:08,720 Speaker 6: quarter of last season. Benford had the oblique after he 387 00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:12,080 Speaker 6: had the hand, Trey hadn't found his footing yet, wasn't 388 00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:16,280 Speaker 6: confident in himself. And I think Dane even got benched 389 00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:19,600 Speaker 6: for Kaye at one point because he started getting picked 390 00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:22,600 Speaker 6: on in the the Lions game. I know Aman Ross 391 00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:25,800 Speaker 6: Saint Brown really took him to the cleaners in that game. 392 00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:28,600 Speaker 6: So I feel like what they have. I mean, you 393 00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:31,560 Speaker 6: mentioned Poona Ford, all the guys that was a laundry 394 00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:34,800 Speaker 6: list of injuries. They have enough depth to absorb this. 395 00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:38,240 Speaker 6: And everybody wants to know Patrick's certain and all these 396 00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:40,560 Speaker 6: other guys, you know knee jerk reactions. I have a 397 00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:47,240 Speaker 6: quick question also for you. Chris Kinkaid cleared concussion protocol 398 00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:49,400 Speaker 6: in the game, but he's back in it. How does 399 00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:52,359 Speaker 6: that work exactly? Is it just because it's automatic if 400 00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:54,800 Speaker 6: any guy has some sort of head he enters it 401 00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:57,400 Speaker 6: again during the week, or I don't know the procedure 402 00:19:57,400 --> 00:19:57,639 Speaker 6: for that. 403 00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:01,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, from what I understand, you know, he clears protocol 404 00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:03,399 Speaker 1: and thanks for the call. He clears protocol so he 405 00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:06,679 Speaker 1: can play or get back in the game by an 406 00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:08,399 Speaker 1: independent neurological consultant. 407 00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:09,600 Speaker 2: My guess is this. 408 00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:12,080 Speaker 1: I don't know this, but this is my guess because 409 00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:14,439 Speaker 1: this is what I've seen in the past with some 410 00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:15,160 Speaker 1: of this stuff. 411 00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:17,119 Speaker 2: They come into. 412 00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:22,800 Speaker 1: Work on Monday after a Sunday game having been cleared, 413 00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:27,800 Speaker 1: as was Kincaid's situation, and he's experiencing concussion like symptoms, 414 00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:32,520 Speaker 1: so they examine him, run a baseline test, and make 415 00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:35,520 Speaker 1: a determination because, as we said at the top of 416 00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:39,640 Speaker 1: the show, sometimes concussion symptoms don't show up until twenty 417 00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:40,360 Speaker 1: four hours later. 418 00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:42,560 Speaker 2: I remember Carlos Williams when he was here with the Bills. 419 00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:45,960 Speaker 1: He had a big game, took some monster shots in 420 00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:49,160 Speaker 1: the game, was fine after the game. I even talked 421 00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:50,600 Speaker 1: to him after the game in the locker room and 422 00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:52,680 Speaker 1: he was fine. The next day we find out he's 423 00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:55,359 Speaker 1: in concussion protocol because sometimes these guys wake up the 424 00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:58,040 Speaker 1: next day and it takes twenty four hours for those 425 00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:01,600 Speaker 1: symptoms to surface and be readily noticed by the player 426 00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:04,600 Speaker 1: as much as the athletic training staff for the medical stats. 427 00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:07,320 Speaker 4: What happened to Tua last year in the Cincinnati game. 428 00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:08,760 Speaker 4: He goes down, plays the rest of the game and 429 00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:11,239 Speaker 4: doesn't play well. Comes back the next day and he 430 00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:15,600 Speaker 4: can't remember some of the snaps he took and he 431 00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:17,520 Speaker 4: goes right into and that was it. That was it 432 00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:20,600 Speaker 4: for him for the season. So it had Sometimes you 433 00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:25,119 Speaker 4: don't understand the symptoms until you have a minute to 434 00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:27,040 Speaker 4: collect yourself and you sleep on it, and you get 435 00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:29,439 Speaker 4: up in the next day and you have symptoms you 436 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:31,400 Speaker 4: have and then and there's a there's a list. It's 437 00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:33,960 Speaker 4: not just one thing, it's not just a headache. It's 438 00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:38,640 Speaker 4: a lot of stuff. And so that's one place where 439 00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:40,879 Speaker 4: the league is doing better. And I think it's in 440 00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:44,120 Speaker 4: the culture they have here. I'm pretty sure guys are 441 00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:48,200 Speaker 4: pretty are encouraged to report that stuff. You know, it 442 00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:55,359 Speaker 4: used to be you know, say nothing, do nothing. You know, 443 00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:59,080 Speaker 4: if you had if it was bothering, you just gut 444 00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:00,800 Speaker 4: it out until the week and hope you were better 445 00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:02,879 Speaker 4: by the weekend and I'm going to go ahead and practice. 446 00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:06,800 Speaker 4: Now they don't do that, and it's obviously better. 447 00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:09,879 Speaker 1: Now, let's get back to the phones and to Joe 448 00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:10,760 Speaker 1: in Williamsville. 449 00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:11,560 Speaker 2: Next we got for us. 450 00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:17,679 Speaker 3: Joe, Hey, Christ and Steve. Thanks for taking my call. Sure, Steve. 451 00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:21,000 Speaker 3: First of all, do players that are on IR do 452 00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:23,080 Speaker 3: they still count toward the cap? 453 00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:26,960 Speaker 2: Yes, they do. Once the season has started. 454 00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:31,280 Speaker 1: Any player on the fifty three man roster IR list, 455 00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:34,240 Speaker 1: even the practice squad, counts against the center. 456 00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:34,840 Speaker 4: Top fifty one. 457 00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:36,680 Speaker 2: It's your top fifty one salaries. 458 00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:40,199 Speaker 1: So if Matt Malone's presumably one of your top fifty one, 459 00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:41,320 Speaker 1: he would count on the cap. 460 00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:45,200 Speaker 3: That's sort of a double whammy, isn't it. 461 00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:48,800 Speaker 1: Well a little bit, the team insurance picks up his 462 00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:51,760 Speaker 1: eight about I think it's about eighty percent of his salary, 463 00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:56,760 Speaker 1: so the team literally in terms of dollars, doesn't incur 464 00:22:56,840 --> 00:23:00,280 Speaker 1: the cost, but the cap remains the same. 465 00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:01,879 Speaker 2: If that makes sense. 466 00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:06,400 Speaker 3: Okay. The other thing, as far as the best way 467 00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:09,000 Speaker 3: for the Bills to adjust to following the rash of injuries, 468 00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:11,600 Speaker 3: I agree with you Chris that we should wait and 469 00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:14,760 Speaker 3: see how things pan out the next two games. I mean, 470 00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:18,600 Speaker 3: the Giants in New England they're not they don't appear 471 00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:20,560 Speaker 3: to be that strong, and this will give us a 472 00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:23,800 Speaker 3: good measuring stick as to you know, how the defense 473 00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:25,840 Speaker 3: is going to perform before we go ahead and make 474 00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:30,080 Speaker 3: any drastic, drastic moves. And then the one thing that 475 00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:33,240 Speaker 3: I wanted to mention is Tyler Bass So when I 476 00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:37,159 Speaker 3: get kudos to him because when they kick that on 477 00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:40,040 Speaker 3: side kick, I thought, well, this is a shot in 478 00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:42,159 Speaker 3: the dark. There's no way that the Bills are going 479 00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:44,240 Speaker 3: to have a chance to recover it. The way he 480 00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:46,520 Speaker 3: kicked that ball, That ball bounced up in the air 481 00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:48,680 Speaker 3: and we had a stab at it. I mean we 482 00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:52,840 Speaker 3: recovered that ball. I mean he's a great field goal 483 00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:55,600 Speaker 3: kicker in that, but I mean that was just a 484 00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:56,600 Speaker 3: great on side kick. 485 00:23:56,760 --> 00:23:56,960 Speaker 2: Yeah. 486 00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:58,240 Speaker 3: Anyway, thanks guys. 487 00:23:58,119 --> 00:23:58,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, think Joe. 488 00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:00,919 Speaker 1: Yeah, it was a textbook on side kick. I mean, 489 00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:02,480 Speaker 1: Steve can speak to it better than I can for 490 00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:05,720 Speaker 1: obvious reasons. But you know, it got the hop that 491 00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:07,680 Speaker 1: you want right when you want it, like to jump 492 00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:09,520 Speaker 1: over that line of the hands. 493 00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:12,280 Speaker 2: Team. Yeah, they just couldn't get to the ball fastest. 494 00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:15,960 Speaker 4: It's it's a roll of the dice. You don't know 495 00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:19,119 Speaker 4: even the guys covering the kick. You practice it some 496 00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:21,280 Speaker 4: and sometimes it goes good and sometimes it doesn't, and 497 00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:24,960 Speaker 4: it's just you know, you can imagine it's a you're 498 00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:27,280 Speaker 4: talking fractures of an inch where the thing bounces the 499 00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:30,200 Speaker 4: right way for you and the timing's got to be right. 500 00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:33,199 Speaker 4: It's it's a real crapshoot to try and recover an 501 00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:38,919 Speaker 4: on side kick, and the advantage is totally on the 502 00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:41,240 Speaker 4: receiving end of it, you know, for the team that's receiving, 503 00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:42,640 Speaker 4: so all they could you could jump up and bat 504 00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:44,520 Speaker 4: it clear out of bounds and it's their ball still, 505 00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:50,640 Speaker 4: so yess. You know, at that point, there's been about 506 00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:53,080 Speaker 4: a million things leading up to an onside kick that 507 00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:54,440 Speaker 4: you can win the game, that would have won the 508 00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:56,479 Speaker 4: game for you instead of this on side kick, and 509 00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:58,600 Speaker 4: this is the one that has the least chance of working. 510 00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:01,320 Speaker 4: That's that's the situation in with it, and you kind 511 00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:04,560 Speaker 4: of got to live with it. But sometimes, I mean, 512 00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:06,439 Speaker 4: it's been a long time since I've seen somebody get 513 00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:09,120 Speaker 4: an on side kick and it led to the winning score. Yeah, 514 00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:11,520 Speaker 4: but that's the idea, yeah. 515 00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:13,800 Speaker 2: Because it's only like a fIF fifteen percent chance of 516 00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:14,920 Speaker 2: getting it is something like that. 517 00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:18,840 Speaker 4: It's a lot higher than ten percent when it's a 518 00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:21,359 Speaker 4: surprise on side during the game, like in in the 519 00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:24,000 Speaker 4: third quarter or the second quarter at half kick off 520 00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:27,240 Speaker 4: a second half, right, that's you know, you get a 521 00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:30,000 Speaker 4: much higher chance of getting it then because usually you've 522 00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:32,440 Speaker 4: scouted it, you got a week, they've got a vulnerability 523 00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:35,640 Speaker 4: that you've seen that they've consistently done. You take advantage 524 00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:38,840 Speaker 4: of it when they're not expecting anything other than a 525 00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:44,080 Speaker 4: regular kick. That's that changes it. But a staged on side. 526 00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:46,120 Speaker 2: Kick really hard. 527 00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:50,679 Speaker 1: Yeah, Joe did mention, and I mentioned it in the 528 00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:53,560 Speaker 1: top of the show here. I'm inclined to kind of 529 00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:56,320 Speaker 1: stand pat see what you have. You know. I know 530 00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:59,280 Speaker 1: people weren't thrilled with Kyrie Elam's performance last week, but 531 00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:02,160 Speaker 1: if Benford is still not fit enough to play corner, 532 00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:06,960 Speaker 1: I would put him out there again. The only reason 533 00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:11,520 Speaker 1: I say that is he gets thrust into the starting 534 00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:13,080 Speaker 1: lineup last week. And I'm not trying to be a 535 00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:17,000 Speaker 1: Kyrielam apologist, but I think when you go from your 536 00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:20,920 Speaker 1: last live action is week three of the preseason to 537 00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:27,000 Speaker 1: week five of the regular season, you're talking six weeks since. 538 00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:30,119 Speaker 2: You've played live Bullets football. I think that's a tough 539 00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:33,840 Speaker 2: adjustment to just jump in and play well. 540 00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:37,480 Speaker 1: I would like to think with another week of practice 541 00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:40,720 Speaker 1: after playing last week, he would be better this week. 542 00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:40,800 Speaker 4: Now. 543 00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:43,679 Speaker 2: If Benford's fine, start him fine, you know I get it. 544 00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:46,800 Speaker 2: But if not, I would put Elim out there again. 545 00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:49,480 Speaker 4: I really would brought One thing is and you've we've 546 00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:52,639 Speaker 4: talked about this off off the air. Where do you 547 00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:55,200 Speaker 4: think kyri Elam's his skill They had him playing off 548 00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:57,280 Speaker 4: coverage and man stuff and his skill set is to 549 00:26:57,280 --> 00:27:03,760 Speaker 4: play up and bump. The problem is usual, well, one 550 00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:07,199 Speaker 4: hundred percent of the time, you're not playing on an 551 00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:09,960 Speaker 4: island out there. I mean, you're you got safety over 552 00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:11,399 Speaker 4: the tie, you got safety help over the top. And 553 00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:13,399 Speaker 4: you say, well do don't give him? Say well, you 554 00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:15,720 Speaker 4: don't want to leave him on an island with Calvin Ridley. 555 00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:17,359 Speaker 4: You got to give the guy some help. The problem 556 00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:19,439 Speaker 4: is you've got to have five other guys in the 557 00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:22,000 Speaker 4: secondary that are playing the same coverage as he is. 558 00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:24,639 Speaker 4: So you can't just say, Kyer do your thing and 559 00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:26,200 Speaker 4: the rest of us are going to do this, because 560 00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:28,760 Speaker 4: what will happen is they'll flood the zone that Kyer 561 00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:30,760 Speaker 4: vacates when he's playing man to man and all of 562 00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:32,879 Speaker 4: a sudden there's nobody over there. Yeah, because you're all 563 00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:36,880 Speaker 4: playing this other coverage. You've got to have in this case, 564 00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:40,920 Speaker 4: five guys in the secondary, three corners, two safeties, plus 565 00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:44,320 Speaker 4: the linebackers who can all do the same thing. And 566 00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:48,879 Speaker 4: it's and you fear all these for kyr Apologists for 567 00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:50,680 Speaker 4: him to come in and say, let's let him play 568 00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:53,880 Speaker 4: his game. Well, no, you got to play the game 569 00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:56,280 Speaker 4: that all the other five guys are playing as well. 570 00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:59,040 Speaker 4: That's why it works. Now you can say, hey, let's 571 00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:02,399 Speaker 4: just go zero cover and man up everybody. Well you know, 572 00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:06,679 Speaker 4: not everybody's up to that. You know, you gotta have, 573 00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:08,960 Speaker 4: you gotta Then then you gotta have three guys that 574 00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:11,800 Speaker 4: win Manda Man, or four guys that win Manda Man, 575 00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:14,359 Speaker 4: or five guys that win Manda Man with somebody with 576 00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:17,640 Speaker 4: five eligible receivers on the offense. They all gotta win then. 577 00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:21,400 Speaker 4: So you can't and you can't play the same coverage 578 00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:25,840 Speaker 4: all the time. So you've got to have guys that 579 00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:31,520 Speaker 4: can play a variety of skill sets. And if you don't, 580 00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:35,800 Speaker 4: it limits your options as a defensive coordinator, and that's 581 00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:37,440 Speaker 4: when you start to become vulnerable. 582 00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:40,000 Speaker 1: We have to take a break here, but more of 583 00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:42,320 Speaker 1: your phone calls when we come back we're asking you 584 00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:46,680 Speaker 1: how would you adjust following the rash of injuries with 585 00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:48,400 Speaker 1: the Bills.

Maybe you don't think they need to 613 00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:14,840 Speaker 1: do anything, but if you think you'd like to see 614 00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:17,440 Speaker 1: them try to fortify the roster in some way or 615 00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:20,800 Speaker 1: maybe change their approach offensively, defensively, et cetera. 616 00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:23,000 Speaker 2: You let us know at eight oh three oh five fifty. 617 00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:25,560 Speaker 1: Back to the phones, and has promised to Steve and 618 00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:27,080 Speaker 1: Amherst to lead us off this segment. 619 00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:27,920 Speaker 2: What do you got for Steve? 620 00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:33,480 Speaker 7: Steve, you pretty much answered my question with Kayer Elim, 621 00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:36,880 Speaker 7: but I was wondering still if it would be possible 622 00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:40,400 Speaker 7: if you still did Elim one on one and then 623 00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:43,600 Speaker 7: run your regular zones and try to cheat somebody who's 624 00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:47,000 Speaker 7: a good cover man like Terrell Bernard at a little 625 00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:49,520 Speaker 7: deeper in to help him out. I don't know if 626 00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:52,440 Speaker 7: that hurts us bad. My second question real quick and 627 00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:56,040 Speaker 7: I'll hang up, is can we stretch King K deeper 628 00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:57,760 Speaker 7: down the field? Thank you much? 629 00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:01,680 Speaker 1: Okay, thanks Steve, appreciate the call. I'll let Steve handle 630 00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:04,840 Speaker 1: the question you asked him. 631 00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:07,200 Speaker 4: Yeah, you can combo coverage a lot of You can 632 00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:10,920 Speaker 4: do a lot of things, and I would trust Sean 633 00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:16,080 Speaker 4: McDermott to know. But my point was a minute ago 634 00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:18,640 Speaker 4: that if you if you put Kyrie Elam and you 635 00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:21,240 Speaker 4: let him play the way he wants to play, or 636 00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:23,600 Speaker 4: the way his skill set best wants him to play, 637 00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:27,880 Speaker 4: the other guys in the secondary have to kind of 638 00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:29,360 Speaker 4: play that way too. They have to do it. And 639 00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:31,120 Speaker 4: if you're gonna tilt the whole field and say, listen, 640 00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:32,920 Speaker 4: no matter what happens, we're gonna let Kye do his 641 00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:36,360 Speaker 4: thing and we're gonna play around him and his skill set, well, 642 00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:41,840 Speaker 4: you're asking an entire defense, you know, to cover up 643 00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:44,000 Speaker 4: for the guy, when you could probably do it easier 644 00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:46,959 Speaker 4: just calling a different coverage. 645 00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:49,920 Speaker 1: Kyer played within the framework of the defense last year. 646 00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:52,520 Speaker 1: It's not like he hasn't done it before. I just 647 00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:53,800 Speaker 1: think he needs more snaps. 648 00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:55,840 Speaker 4: Yeah, I would say some more snaps. 649 00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:57,360 Speaker 2: If you're not playing for six weeks. 650 00:31:57,720 --> 00:31:57,880 Speaker 8: And. 651 00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:02,520 Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm and it might and it might be a moot. 652 00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:04,520 Speaker 1: Point anyway, because if Benford's healthy to play, we know 653 00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:08,880 Speaker 1: he's gonna start, So I mean either way, yeah, you 654 00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:10,000 Speaker 1: know what I mean, Like, I just. 655 00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:12,920 Speaker 4: I don't think Kyer Elam was the reason the Bill's 656 00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:15,200 Speaker 4: lost last week. And certainly he could have played better, 657 00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:17,400 Speaker 4: and he gave up some throws, some catches. I mean, 658 00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:19,600 Speaker 4: he's like eight targets and six catches that kind of 659 00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:23,400 Speaker 4: I don't know. We'll never know how many targets would 660 00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:25,280 Speaker 4: have been there if i Elam didn't have the guy 661 00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:27,480 Speaker 4: covered up either, they might have gone twelve targets. And 662 00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:30,080 Speaker 4: he scared him off of six throws too. You never 663 00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:36,280 Speaker 4: get credit for that. It's yeah, it's a tough question 664 00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:40,080 Speaker 4: because you're down ostensibly, and no matter how good Kyer 665 00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:44,600 Speaker 4: Elam turns out to be. Right now, he was the 666 00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:51,000 Speaker 4: third outside, fourth outside corner fourth, yep, and he was inactive, 667 00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:53,280 Speaker 4: and he was inactive for those weeks. It was it 668 00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:56,440 Speaker 4: was tra Davious, it was Christian Benford, and then it 669 00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:59,680 Speaker 4: was Dan Jackson and then you got Kye in. So 670 00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:03,040 Speaker 4: I don't know what you know, if it was somebody, 671 00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:05,360 Speaker 4: if it wasn't for his draft status, nobody would even 672 00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:09,640 Speaker 4: be looking sideways at him. So and he's got some ability, 673 00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:11,480 Speaker 4: but there are other guys in that room with abilities. 674 00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:13,280 Speaker 4: There's a ton of guys in the league with ability. 675 00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:17,240 Speaker 4: You got to play well. I don't think they could 676 00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:20,680 Speaker 4: be totally dismissive or unhappy with the way Kyer filled in. 677 00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:23,040 Speaker 4: I don't think they are. I think they they would 678 00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:25,080 Speaker 4: put him in again in a heartbeat and expect him 679 00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:27,720 Speaker 4: to play better. I think he's We've seen him BROWNI 680 00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:29,560 Speaker 4: and I have seen him working hard to get better. 681 00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:32,760 Speaker 4: He's he's grinding it, wants to get on the field. 682 00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:35,080 Speaker 4: He knows what he knows. You know what the score 683 00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:37,760 Speaker 4: is and why he's not in there. They've been brutally 684 00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:39,160 Speaker 4: honest with him. He knows better than we do. 685 00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:41,080 Speaker 1: And he said all the right things after the game 686 00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:44,880 Speaker 1: on Sunday when he didn't play his best, right, he said, 687 00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:46,640 Speaker 1: I still think God has a plan for me to 688 00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:49,640 Speaker 1: help for me to help this team win football games. 689 00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:56,040 Speaker 4: That's right, and so I you know I'm not I 690 00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:58,320 Speaker 4: I'm ready to go. I think this team still wins 691 00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:00,440 Speaker 4: games with these guys in the back end, So I'm 692 00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:02,800 Speaker 4: h how they play him, what they play him. I 693 00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:05,160 Speaker 4: could never begin to tell you what coverages are best 694 00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:06,760 Speaker 4: for him, or where he plays best, or what his 695 00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:09,160 Speaker 4: skill set is as akin to all the other guys 696 00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:10,960 Speaker 4: that are in the room as well. I'm not even 697 00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:13,520 Speaker 4: gonna get into that. But I know this, you got 698 00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:15,760 Speaker 4: a game against the Giants coming up, and you're gonna 699 00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:18,239 Speaker 4: need him to play and play well at times at least. So, 700 00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:22,480 Speaker 4: like we said, at this point of the week, we 701 00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:24,960 Speaker 4: didn't even know who's going to be available, right he 702 00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:27,000 Speaker 4: may be cornerback one by the end of the week, 703 00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:31,160 Speaker 4: you don't know. So until that sorts itself out, this 704 00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:32,080 Speaker 4: is all kind of a moot. 705 00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:35,000 Speaker 1: Point back to the phones at eight oh three zero 706 00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:37,359 Speaker 1: five point fifty one eight eight eight five fifty two 707 00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:40,240 Speaker 1: five fifty got open lines for you there to Joe 708 00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:42,160 Speaker 1: in Olian next. 709 00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:43,920 Speaker 2: What do you got first, Joe? 710 00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:46,800 Speaker 5: Yeah, I was just wondering how you Ice fell about 711 00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:50,360 Speaker 5: bringing in in like maybe Landry or to Julio Jones 712 00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:54,400 Speaker 5: to help Digs out with Gabe Davis's struggles. 713 00:34:55,680 --> 00:34:58,120 Speaker 1: Don't I don't know that Gabe Davis has struggled that 714 00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:01,040 Speaker 1: seems a little strong for me. I mean, six catches 715 00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:04,240 Speaker 1: for one hundred yards last week in a losing effort, granted, 716 00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:08,640 Speaker 1: but he's had touchdowns in each of his last four games. 717 00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:10,760 Speaker 1: He's producing on a weekly basis. 718 00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:12,759 Speaker 4: He had two touchdowns in a row this last week, 719 00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:16,000 Speaker 4: one of which got called back by a penalty. We 720 00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:16,520 Speaker 4: never got to. 721 00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:19,480 Speaker 2: See a penalty that you didn't see it because it 722 00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:20,080 Speaker 2: didn't happen. 723 00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:25,640 Speaker 4: Yeah, the offensive he didn't see it. Come on. So yeah, 724 00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:28,759 Speaker 4: I'm yeah, I'm not down on Gabe at all. 725 00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:33,880 Speaker 1: No, neither am I if anything, and coach Rick Dermott 726 00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:36,279 Speaker 1: and coach Dorsey addressed this yesterday when they talked to 727 00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:36,760 Speaker 1: the media. 728 00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:39,719 Speaker 2: They agreed that they would like. 729 00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:44,000 Speaker 1: To incorporate more people in the passing game in a 730 00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:47,120 Speaker 1: more productive way on a weekly basis. Now, that's easier 731 00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:50,319 Speaker 1: said than done, because ultimately, the quarterback has to go 732 00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:53,280 Speaker 1: where the coverage dictates. He should go with the football 733 00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:57,160 Speaker 1: to make the play gain yards, stay on the field, 734 00:35:57,200 --> 00:36:00,640 Speaker 1: and stay in favorable down in distance. Sure, there are 735 00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:03,000 Speaker 1: ways you can scheme things up to maybe dictate to 736 00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:05,480 Speaker 1: a defense at times, but there are a healthy number 737 00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:07,719 Speaker 1: of times where the defense is going to tell you 738 00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:10,960 Speaker 1: where to put the football, and it might be to 739 00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:14,440 Speaker 1: the guy that's winning the most and to this point 740 00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:16,960 Speaker 1: that's been Digs, right, and there are a lot worse 741 00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:18,240 Speaker 1: people you could go to than Digs. 742 00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:18,480 Speaker 7: Yeah. 743 00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:23,520 Speaker 4: Sure, And I'll say this too. Up until this last games, 744 00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:28,799 Speaker 4: this Jacksonville game, I'm looking around and you and I 745 00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:31,719 Speaker 4: have I don't know that I'm totally putting this on 746 00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:37,040 Speaker 4: like these guys, this offense totally and all of a 747 00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:39,960 Speaker 4: sudden forgot how to play offense. Defensive well, I mean, 748 00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:41,839 Speaker 4: you know, the defense went through the injuries and stuff, 749 00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:44,120 Speaker 4: they still held into twenty five points, gave up the 750 00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:46,239 Speaker 4: one explosive play at the end of the game when 751 00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:49,879 Speaker 4: they were kind of gambling. I get that they played 752 00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:52,120 Speaker 4: a great game defensively, a game you should have won 753 00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:54,000 Speaker 4: on the other side of the ball. But on offense, 754 00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:56,719 Speaker 4: I don't think these guys forgot how to play or 755 00:36:56,719 --> 00:37:00,680 Speaker 4: all of a sudden were exposed as fraud odds by 756 00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:03,360 Speaker 4: the Jacksonville Jaguars. I think there's a lot of reasons 757 00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:06,000 Speaker 4: for for why they played poorly. You can say which 758 00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:10,720 Speaker 4: want jet lag whatever, good game plan or quick pressure 759 00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:13,560 Speaker 4: by Jacksonville, whatever it was. I don't think this team 760 00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:16,440 Speaker 4: all of a sudden became a bad offensive unit, and 761 00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:18,919 Speaker 4: coming into the game, there was no reason to think 762 00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:22,800 Speaker 4: they needed to go down to their plan C, D, 763 00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:26,560 Speaker 4: and E, you know, because playing A, B and C 764 00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:29,799 Speaker 4: were stymied or A and B were stymy. You know. 765 00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:33,919 Speaker 4: So we had talked about how's this team gonna find 766 00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:35,920 Speaker 4: different ways to win? They couldn't. They didn't do that 767 00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:38,400 Speaker 4: this last week. And now I think that's as disconcerting 768 00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:40,840 Speaker 4: as anything, the fact that the Bills couldn't find a 769 00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:43,280 Speaker 4: way to win a game where you got to feel 770 00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:46,279 Speaker 4: like they they were the better team on a game 771 00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:49,080 Speaker 4: when they where they didn't play their best for whatever reason. 772 00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:52,080 Speaker 4: They were jet lagged, they were the surface was bad, 773 00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:54,799 Speaker 4: that guys that they were counting on to play, key 774 00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:58,759 Speaker 4: players gone, All of that stuff goes into the mix. Yeah, okay, 775 00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:01,359 Speaker 4: all of that, but you gotta find way to win that. 776 00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:03,680 Speaker 4: And let's face it, like so many of the losses 777 00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:08,920 Speaker 4: they've had, and really virtually all regular season losses they've had, 778 00:38:10,120 --> 00:38:12,839 Speaker 4: they're like one play away. Oh, you need one guy 779 00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:15,200 Speaker 4: to make a play. You need somebody to turn it 780 00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:16,719 Speaker 4: up the field and get the first down. You need 781 00:38:16,719 --> 00:38:18,960 Speaker 4: somebody to catch the third down passes to drop it, 782 00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:21,480 Speaker 4: you need somebody to make the block, make a cut, 783 00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:25,560 Speaker 4: make a guy miss, and they couldn't do it. That's 784 00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:28,399 Speaker 4: the disconcerting part about the whole thing, because you had 785 00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:31,360 Speaker 4: all these guys with some opportunity to contribute, and so 786 00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:36,719 Speaker 4: many of them, from Khalil Shakir to Kincaid to Gave Davis, 787 00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:39,720 Speaker 4: you know, so many of them are like wow, Dawson, 788 00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:43,399 Speaker 4: everybody was like ah, James Cook, oh, you know, all 789 00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:45,640 Speaker 4: of them had a hand at some point in that 790 00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:48,640 Speaker 4: game where they dropped a pass or couldn't make a 791 00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:54,239 Speaker 4: guy miss, all of them. So that's the disconcerting part 792 00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:57,279 Speaker 4: of it. They had some answers and the guys just 793 00:38:57,320 --> 00:38:59,720 Speaker 4: failed to just failed to write down the answer. 794 00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:02,000 Speaker 1: That's why ninety eight percent of the time when a 795 00:39:02,080 --> 00:39:06,600 Speaker 1: team does not perform up to snuff, it's usually nine 796 00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:09,239 Speaker 1: I would say almost ninety and I don't have hard 797 00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:12,360 Speaker 1: stats to prove this, but it feels like the vast 798 00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:13,640 Speaker 1: majority of the time it's. 799 00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:15,080 Speaker 2: An execution issue. 800 00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:18,200 Speaker 1: And to a great degree, it was an execution issue 801 00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:21,000 Speaker 1: on Sunday. Let's go back to the phones and to 802 00:39:21,120 --> 00:39:22,319 Speaker 1: Steve and Tonawanda. 803 00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:23,560 Speaker 2: What's up, Steve. 804 00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:26,560 Speaker 7: Hey, Brownie tasker, how you guys. 805 00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:28,320 Speaker 2: Doing doing all right? What do you got for us? 806 00:39:28,719 --> 00:39:33,879 Speaker 7: Uh? Just real quick? Everybody's yeah, it's concerning a little 807 00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:37,200 Speaker 7: bit about the defense. But look, I mean we went 808 00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:41,520 Speaker 7: in shorthanded two backup cornerbacks. Then we lose our two. 809 00:39:42,239 --> 00:39:47,200 Speaker 7: I mean, we lose Milano, then Jones and the defense 810 00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:49,719 Speaker 7: played stellar. I mean, what do we old Jacksonville to 811 00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:51,160 Speaker 7: eleven points. 812 00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:53,879 Speaker 4: Minutes late halfway through the fourth? Yeah? 813 00:39:54,040 --> 00:39:57,920 Speaker 7: So, And I mean the lack of offense is going 814 00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:00,760 Speaker 7: to happen. We talked, you guys talked about last week. 815 00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:04,320 Speaker 7: Can they sustained what they'd been doing on offense? You 816 00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:06,839 Speaker 7: want them to, but no, they're not coming. I mean 817 00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:09,239 Speaker 7: it's just fast as you played back in the day 818 00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:12,120 Speaker 7: when you guys had the best offense going right, And 819 00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:14,759 Speaker 7: what did you guys your best record might have been 820 00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:17,160 Speaker 7: through thirteen and three, twelve and four. Most of the 821 00:40:17,239 --> 00:40:19,880 Speaker 7: time you're gonna lose games. You're not gonna We're not 822 00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:23,160 Speaker 7: gonna play perfect. Osyrus didn't have his best game as 823 00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:26,560 Speaker 7: a pro. He's a rookie's been playing stellar. The whole 824 00:40:26,560 --> 00:40:28,719 Speaker 7: offensive line is a group I don't think played bad, 825 00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:32,200 Speaker 7: but they just had blown assignments and got them out 826 00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:34,360 Speaker 7: of the running game. And the three and outs on 827 00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:37,480 Speaker 7: top of the penalties putting them down first at fifteen. 828 00:40:39,280 --> 00:40:41,880 Speaker 7: The three and outs killed them because they were shorthanded 829 00:40:41,880 --> 00:40:44,600 Speaker 7: on de as. It was them. Guys just got exhausted. 830 00:40:45,600 --> 00:40:47,480 Speaker 7: You could see it in the third quarter. I mean, 831 00:40:48,160 --> 00:40:52,359 Speaker 7: Eatn just the couple he busted off. They didn't have 832 00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:55,480 Speaker 7: nothing left in the tank. I think if the offense goes, 833 00:40:56,160 --> 00:40:59,480 Speaker 7: they're gonna come out this week and I think they're 834 00:40:59,480 --> 00:41:01,160 Speaker 7: gonna be able to the ball gets the giants, So 835 00:41:01,239 --> 00:41:04,040 Speaker 7: think they're gonna get back and form. You sustain a 836 00:41:04,040 --> 00:41:06,600 Speaker 7: bunch of drives, eat up some time, give your dcuts 837 00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:09,359 Speaker 7: a rest, and that decise is gonna look better. You're 838 00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:12,080 Speaker 7: gonna have a pass rush that is gonna help cover 839 00:41:12,239 --> 00:41:15,000 Speaker 7: up the little quirks that we got going on a 840 00:41:15,040 --> 00:41:17,920 Speaker 7: quarterback right now. I think I'll hang up and listen. 841 00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:21,200 Speaker 2: All right, Thanks appreciate that. Sorry if I cut you 842 00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:22,440 Speaker 2: off there, I didn't know if you had one more 843 00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:23,040 Speaker 2: thing to say. 844 00:41:23,520 --> 00:41:28,520 Speaker 1: But yeah, let's just see how it plays out here 845 00:41:28,520 --> 00:41:30,840 Speaker 1: this week and next week with the guys you got. 846 00:41:31,640 --> 00:41:34,680 Speaker 1: As Steve always says, this offense has plenty under the hood. 847 00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:36,880 Speaker 1: They just have to execute at a higher level. And 848 00:41:37,040 --> 00:41:40,479 Speaker 1: for three weeks they were executing at an extraordinary level, 849 00:41:41,160 --> 00:41:44,720 Speaker 1: and they kind of came back to the mean last week, 850 00:41:45,120 --> 00:41:47,200 Speaker 1: where you know, they were just out of sync on 851 00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:50,600 Speaker 1: some things, missed on a couple opportunities, didn't complete the 852 00:41:50,640 --> 00:41:54,399 Speaker 1: play on some others, and those things add up, and 853 00:41:54,680 --> 00:41:58,400 Speaker 1: you played a Jacksonville team that probably played one of 854 00:41:58,440 --> 00:42:03,960 Speaker 1: their more sounder had one of their more sounder performances 855 00:42:04,040 --> 00:42:07,160 Speaker 1: of the season after stinking it up in Week three 856 00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:12,360 Speaker 1: against the Texans and having a lackluster performance against the Chiefs, 857 00:42:12,520 --> 00:42:17,440 Speaker 1: managing only nine points. So every team has those weeks. 858 00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:21,120 Speaker 1: You'd prefer they don't surface, but in this case it did. Now, 859 00:42:21,160 --> 00:42:22,920 Speaker 1: what are they going to do about it in response? 860 00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:23,680 Speaker 2: The following week? 861 00:42:23,719 --> 00:42:26,920 Speaker 1: And even though they're down a couple of pretty important players, 862 00:42:27,239 --> 00:42:29,200 Speaker 1: Let's see what shakes out for us before you make 863 00:42:29,320 --> 00:42:32,440 Speaker 1: knee jerk reactions trying to address the roster or your 864 00:42:32,440 --> 00:42:34,759 Speaker 1: play calling or your scheme or anything like that. 865 00:42:34,840 --> 00:42:39,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, I you know, give the give Jacksonville some credit, 866 00:42:39,080 --> 00:42:44,160 Speaker 4: no question. It's just yeah, we see it every time 867 00:42:44,200 --> 00:42:46,520 Speaker 4: the Bills suffer a loss, which you know hasn't been 868 00:42:46,520 --> 00:42:50,160 Speaker 4: that often in the regular season in these his last 869 00:42:50,239 --> 00:42:52,680 Speaker 4: five or six years, and this is a team that 870 00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:56,120 Speaker 4: not only gets the playoffs, but wins a playoff game 871 00:42:56,160 --> 00:42:58,000 Speaker 4: every year as well. They just can't get that one, 872 00:42:58,320 --> 00:43:00,320 Speaker 4: that next step or the next step right, couple of 873 00:43:00,360 --> 00:43:04,239 Speaker 4: steps when you and that's in it's games like this. 874 00:43:04,400 --> 00:43:07,520 Speaker 4: I think that kind of can compare, can prepare you 875 00:43:08,680 --> 00:43:13,120 Speaker 4: to be better in tough moments, you know, these last 876 00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:16,359 Speaker 4: three weeks. I mean they rolled their helmets out there 877 00:43:16,360 --> 00:43:18,839 Speaker 4: and just walked off with it. I mean against all 878 00:43:18,840 --> 00:43:23,400 Speaker 4: three of those. Yeah, the Raiders, the Commanders, and the Dolphins. 879 00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:28,560 Speaker 4: And the Dolphins for crying out loud. So yeah, there's 880 00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:31,920 Speaker 4: no reason to think this team had any business putting 881 00:43:31,920 --> 00:43:35,719 Speaker 4: out putting a game together like that, particularly offensively. 882 00:43:36,800 --> 00:43:39,480 Speaker 1: Break time for us here, DJ and Lockport will lead 883 00:43:39,560 --> 00:43:41,000 Speaker 1: us off when we return as we take more of 884 00:43:41,040 --> 00:43:43,080 Speaker 1: your phone calls here on one Bill's Live Stay tuned. 885 00:43:58,680 --> 00:44:01,640 Speaker 1: The Buffalo Bills are partnering with high Mark Blue Cross 886 00:44:01,680 --> 00:44:06,680 Speaker 1: Blue Shield to use crowd sync synchronized LED wristbands for 887 00:44:06,719 --> 00:44:10,239 Speaker 1: a pregame light show in high Mark Stadium.

What? Where'd you call me? 896 00:44:37,680 --> 00:44:40,759 Speaker 1: Let's get back, Let's get back to the phones at 897 00:44:40,760 --> 00:44:42,960 Speaker 1: eight O three oh five point fifty and to DJ 898 00:44:43,080 --> 00:44:44,319 Speaker 1: in Lockport, what's up DJ? 899 00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:47,200 Speaker 7: Hey? 900 00:44:47,840 --> 00:44:50,759 Speaker 9: So, first off, the biggest thing I'd take away from 901 00:44:50,760 --> 00:44:53,080 Speaker 9: the season so far is that I don't want to 902 00:44:53,320 --> 00:44:55,600 Speaker 9: just say the Jets game might be the one outlier, 903 00:44:55,640 --> 00:44:57,759 Speaker 9: but it takes a lot to the team to just 904 00:44:57,840 --> 00:45:01,000 Speaker 9: lose by five points a lot, and it takes a 905 00:45:01,040 --> 00:45:02,919 Speaker 9: good team in order to take advantage of the things 906 00:45:02,920 --> 00:45:04,839 Speaker 9: that do go wrong for them to pull off the game. 907 00:45:05,239 --> 00:45:06,840 Speaker 9: I feel like this team's good enough to where if 908 00:45:06,840 --> 00:45:09,520 Speaker 9: we play a low leader squad, you know, the fifty 909 00:45:09,520 --> 00:45:12,120 Speaker 9: two hours prior to game pickoff and losing Milano, and 910 00:45:12,480 --> 00:45:15,120 Speaker 9: I think we still win by you know, eighteen points 911 00:45:15,200 --> 00:45:18,120 Speaker 9: to a low leader team. But Jacksonville, they got a 912 00:45:18,160 --> 00:45:20,160 Speaker 9: team over there, they know what they're doing. They got 913 00:45:20,160 --> 00:45:22,120 Speaker 9: a hell of the coach now, So I don't I 914 00:45:22,160 --> 00:45:25,439 Speaker 9: don't really like, I'm not going through mcgoom with this loss. Again, 915 00:45:25,480 --> 00:45:27,680 Speaker 9: it takes a lot to beat this team by five points. 916 00:45:27,880 --> 00:45:30,680 Speaker 9: But again, I hate to be that guy, but this 917 00:45:30,840 --> 00:45:32,400 Speaker 9: game we've seen. 918 00:45:32,239 --> 00:45:33,040 Speaker 10: A lot of times. 919 00:45:33,080 --> 00:45:35,040 Speaker 9: You know, a lot of teams have seen it as well. 920 00:45:35,440 --> 00:45:40,040 Speaker 9: But there was seven different discretionary flags that were thrown 921 00:45:40,360 --> 00:45:44,080 Speaker 9: at third downs for the Bills, six four Jacksonville on 922 00:45:44,200 --> 00:45:47,960 Speaker 9: the Bills third down that extended in completed drives in 923 00:45:48,160 --> 00:45:51,440 Speaker 9: with halt drives, and a lot of them you didn't 924 00:45:51,440 --> 00:45:53,680 Speaker 9: even see the camera angles because they didn't show replays 925 00:45:53,719 --> 00:45:56,279 Speaker 9: up then. But like, I'm not saying this compiracy. I'm 926 00:45:56,320 --> 00:45:58,839 Speaker 9: just saying there was a crab officiating game on top 927 00:45:58,880 --> 00:45:59,960 Speaker 9: of it. I feel like if it was will have 928 00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:02,400 Speaker 9: more equal, It might have even been a closer and we 929 00:46:02,440 --> 00:46:03,680 Speaker 9: might have been kicking still goal at the end to 930 00:46:03,719 --> 00:46:06,160 Speaker 9: win the game. But just a lot. It takes a 931 00:46:06,200 --> 00:46:08,560 Speaker 9: lot of the team to lose by five points against 932 00:46:08,600 --> 00:46:11,839 Speaker 9: another good squad. So we are going to make this up. 933 00:46:11,880 --> 00:46:13,960 Speaker 9: Things will be better, Like it's no doom and gloom. 934 00:46:14,320 --> 00:46:16,120 Speaker 9: So I still see us lose you know, three or 935 00:46:16,160 --> 00:46:18,239 Speaker 9: four games this year, and this is gonna be one 936 00:46:18,280 --> 00:46:20,560 Speaker 9: of them, unfortunately. So I'll hang up and listen. Go Bills, 937 00:46:20,560 --> 00:46:22,000 Speaker 9: and you guys have a great day. 938 00:46:22,120 --> 00:46:26,279 Speaker 4: Yeah thing, you're yeah, DJ you're far too coherent and 939 00:46:26,400 --> 00:46:31,960 Speaker 4: lucid to be calling in our radio. So here I'm 940 00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:35,319 Speaker 4: with you're overqualified. Yeah, I'm totally with You're right. It 941 00:46:35,400 --> 00:46:39,160 Speaker 4: took an outstanding effort by Jacksonville, uh, and a lot 942 00:46:39,160 --> 00:46:43,319 Speaker 4: of all the stuff that you mentioned, uh, discretionary flags, penalties, 943 00:46:43,960 --> 00:46:46,840 Speaker 4: UH turn you know, all that stuff, uh for the 944 00:46:46,840 --> 00:46:48,680 Speaker 4: Bills to lose by five points to a really good 945 00:46:48,719 --> 00:46:51,080 Speaker 4: to a playoff team from a year ago, uh, team 946 00:46:51,080 --> 00:46:54,520 Speaker 4: that won a playoff game a year ago. It's the 947 00:46:54,560 --> 00:46:58,480 Speaker 4: Bills are still a tough out even when they were 948 00:46:58,520 --> 00:47:02,640 Speaker 4: hampered by it, you know, right after the injuries happened, 949 00:47:02,640 --> 00:47:04,440 Speaker 4: when they got these guys just thrown into the lineup 950 00:47:04,440 --> 00:47:05,839 Speaker 4: where they didn't even have a week to take all 951 00:47:05,840 --> 00:47:07,440 Speaker 4: the reps, none of that. They just got thrown in there. 952 00:47:07,440 --> 00:47:09,879 Speaker 4: Here we go, and they still held them to going 953 00:47:09,880 --> 00:47:12,080 Speaker 4: into the second half of the fourth quarter. They held 954 00:47:12,120 --> 00:47:16,719 Speaker 4: them to eleven points, and the offense just you know, 955 00:47:16,880 --> 00:47:22,239 Speaker 4: we're just missing you know, drop passes and penalties and 956 00:47:22,480 --> 00:47:26,160 Speaker 4: a couple of the penalties I'm telling you were phantom penalties, 957 00:47:26,760 --> 00:47:32,640 Speaker 4: So yeah, that conspired as well. So you're right, DJ 958 00:47:34,160 --> 00:47:37,760 Speaker 4: Bills are the with the exception of the injured players. 959 00:47:37,800 --> 00:47:40,719 Speaker 4: Of course, the Bills are still the same team they 960 00:47:40,719 --> 00:47:44,400 Speaker 4: were when they hung forty eight on the Dolphins. But 961 00:47:44,440 --> 00:47:47,239 Speaker 4: they played, they did not play well, but they that's 962 00:47:47,280 --> 00:47:49,839 Speaker 4: still in there. It's not like they forgot how It's 963 00:47:49,880 --> 00:47:52,680 Speaker 4: not like they aren't trying. It's not like whatever events 964 00:47:52,760 --> 00:47:55,600 Speaker 4: led to them playing as poorly as they did are 965 00:47:55,640 --> 00:47:58,000 Speaker 4: going to be different this week. Now they that doesn't 966 00:47:58,000 --> 00:47:59,680 Speaker 4: mean they're going to be better or whatever, but it's 967 00:47:59,680 --> 00:48:00,960 Speaker 4: going to be different. They're going to be in their 968 00:48:00,960 --> 00:48:03,759 Speaker 4: own building, in their own beds for the entire week. 969 00:48:03,800 --> 00:48:07,000 Speaker 4: It's a home game, it's a night game, it's at 970 00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:11,360 Speaker 4: the finger quotes normal time primetime game instead of a 971 00:48:11,360 --> 00:48:14,440 Speaker 4: two thirty local time in London and a nine to 972 00:48:14,440 --> 00:48:18,080 Speaker 4: thirty local time on the East Coast. All of that stuff. 973 00:48:18,640 --> 00:48:20,279 Speaker 4: All this's going to be different this week. So you 974 00:48:20,280 --> 00:48:25,640 Speaker 4: haven't expected your expectations should be different. Hopefully they'll play 975 00:48:25,719 --> 00:48:28,239 Speaker 4: more like who the team they've shown they've been over 976 00:48:28,280 --> 00:48:31,120 Speaker 4: most of the last month.

Hopefully those 1001 00:50:34,760 --> 00:50:35,720 Speaker 8: guys can get well. 1002 00:50:35,880 --> 00:50:38,839 Speaker 4: Yeah, and interesting too, because the Bill's offense just never 1003 00:50:38,840 --> 00:50:40,719 Speaker 4: really found itself until late in the game where they 1004 00:50:40,800 --> 00:50:42,480 Speaker 4: kind of went no huddle had you know, and the 1005 00:50:42,560 --> 00:50:45,600 Speaker 4: and Jacksonville's was up two scores with you know, and 1006 00:50:45,640 --> 00:50:48,040 Speaker 4: the Bills made them. Hey, and I got to ask you, 1007 00:50:48,160 --> 00:50:50,399 Speaker 4: as a former quarterback, when you're in there and you're 1008 00:50:50,400 --> 00:50:54,080 Speaker 4: trying to get things started. The Bills come out in 1009 00:50:54,120 --> 00:50:56,840 Speaker 4: their first third down and they dropped the first third 1010 00:50:56,880 --> 00:50:59,080 Speaker 4: down conversion right at the I mean, the guy's gonna 1011 00:50:59,080 --> 00:51:01,160 Speaker 4: take it, turn up the field. He drops it the 1012 00:51:01,200 --> 00:51:03,840 Speaker 4: next third down, same thing. He catches it, turns up 1013 00:51:03,880 --> 00:51:06,760 Speaker 4: the field and instead of dropping the shoulder and plowing 1014 00:51:06,760 --> 00:51:08,080 Speaker 4: his way for the first time, he kind of gets 1015 00:51:08,160 --> 00:51:10,439 Speaker 4: run out of bounds short of the sticks. They punt again. 1016 00:51:10,520 --> 00:51:14,360 Speaker 4: How you know, a slow starts kind of means something, 1017 00:51:14,480 --> 00:51:14,880 Speaker 4: do they not? 1018 00:51:16,560 --> 00:51:19,359 Speaker 8: Oh, they certainly do, and certainly against the good football team, 1019 00:51:19,520 --> 00:51:23,000 Speaker 8: you know, and one offensively where you know they have 1020 00:51:23,120 --> 00:51:26,880 Speaker 8: firepower in Jacksonville. Whether you know they scored forty or didn't, 1021 00:51:26,920 --> 00:51:30,080 Speaker 8: they still have firepower at the skill position. So you know, 1022 00:51:30,120 --> 00:51:33,240 Speaker 8: when James drops that first third down, it's it's man, 1023 00:51:34,760 --> 00:51:36,680 Speaker 8: you never want to start that way because then that 1024 00:51:36,719 --> 00:51:39,520 Speaker 8: gives you another you know, it's another three downs. What 1025 00:51:39,920 --> 00:51:42,880 Speaker 8: could happen in that set of three downs? And and 1026 00:51:42,920 --> 00:51:46,759 Speaker 8: the slow start. I've seen that they didn't travel till Friday, 1027 00:51:46,880 --> 00:51:51,360 Speaker 8: and I've seen people complaining about that. You know, I've 1028 00:51:51,400 --> 00:51:54,319 Speaker 8: played out there twice, uh And we went out there 1029 00:51:54,440 --> 00:51:57,840 Speaker 8: once on a Sunday night, maybe our Sunday night or 1030 00:51:57,880 --> 00:51:59,600 Speaker 8: Monday night. We were out there for the whole week, 1031 00:52:00,280 --> 00:52:04,000 Speaker 8: and we went down twenty one to nothing, you know, 1032 00:52:04,239 --> 00:52:05,920 Speaker 8: and we ended up winning the game on a game 1033 00:52:05,960 --> 00:52:09,560 Speaker 8: winning field goal. We played out there another time, we 1034 00:52:09,600 --> 00:52:12,480 Speaker 8: went out for the whole week. The team that played us, 1035 00:52:12,600 --> 00:52:15,760 Speaker 8: the Kansas City Chiefs, came in on I believe Friday, 1036 00:52:15,960 --> 00:52:18,880 Speaker 8: Friday afternoon, and they beat us like forty one to fourteen. 1037 00:52:19,000 --> 00:52:22,680 Speaker 11: So I don't know how much I've put into that. 1038 00:52:22,920 --> 00:52:26,479 Speaker 8: I don't know, but the slow start definitely just didn't 1039 00:52:26,520 --> 00:52:29,440 Speaker 8: allow them to really find any rhythm offensively. 1040 00:52:30,239 --> 00:52:32,719 Speaker 1: You have obviously been a big proponent of play action, 1041 00:52:32,800 --> 00:52:36,200 Speaker 1: it seemed like there was less of that in Buffalo's 1042 00:52:36,280 --> 00:52:40,719 Speaker 1: game plan this past Sunday, because, yeah, their percentages have 1043 00:52:40,760 --> 00:52:42,680 Speaker 1: gone down in that area. And actually when they went 1044 00:52:42,719 --> 00:52:45,200 Speaker 1: to it, they did have some success. I mean, they 1045 00:52:45,200 --> 00:52:47,520 Speaker 1: could have had a ninety yard touchdown if Josh puts 1046 00:52:47,560 --> 00:52:49,840 Speaker 1: it on Digs. I realized that's not an easy throw 1047 00:52:50,040 --> 00:52:52,000 Speaker 1: fifty yards down the field, and you never want to 1048 00:52:52,080 --> 00:52:52,879 Speaker 1: overthrow them. 1049 00:52:53,080 --> 00:52:54,359 Speaker 2: That's the last thing you want to do. 1050 00:52:54,920 --> 00:52:56,799 Speaker 1: But you know Diggs has to wait on that, and 1051 00:52:56,840 --> 00:52:59,239 Speaker 1: it's only I say only, it's only a fifty yard 1052 00:52:59,239 --> 00:52:59,719 Speaker 1: pass play. 1053 00:52:59,719 --> 00:53:01,800 Speaker 2: But why do you think they moved away? 1054 00:53:02,239 --> 00:53:04,440 Speaker 1: I guess the question here, Dan, is is there anything 1055 00:53:04,440 --> 00:53:08,040 Speaker 1: a defense does that a OC might see on film 1056 00:53:08,440 --> 00:53:11,000 Speaker 1: that would steer them away from play action or was 1057 00:53:11,040 --> 00:53:13,960 Speaker 1: it just a conscious decision like this is what the 1058 00:53:13,960 --> 00:53:15,160 Speaker 1: plan is going to be this week. 1059 00:53:16,680 --> 00:53:18,880 Speaker 8: Yeah, I think they only ran it four or five 1060 00:53:19,200 --> 00:53:21,520 Speaker 8: times if I'm right, I think there were four for 1061 00:53:21,600 --> 00:53:24,480 Speaker 8: four or five for five or something like that. So 1062 00:53:24,600 --> 00:53:27,680 Speaker 8: to answer that question, I think, really the only thing 1063 00:53:27,920 --> 00:53:35,239 Speaker 8: that shows up defensively that would scare or hesitate a 1064 00:53:35,239 --> 00:53:38,520 Speaker 8: play caller from diving in and using it as much 1065 00:53:38,520 --> 00:53:41,160 Speaker 8: as they maybe have in the pass would be if 1066 00:53:41,200 --> 00:53:45,800 Speaker 8: there were certain fronts that stress that play action protection 1067 00:53:46,239 --> 00:53:49,160 Speaker 8: or a person in that play action more than they 1068 00:53:49,200 --> 00:53:53,040 Speaker 8: want to. Now, Buffalo, you know, the play actions that 1069 00:53:53,080 --> 00:53:57,759 Speaker 8: they've been using haven't necessarily been It's not like you know, 1070 00:53:57,760 --> 00:54:00,680 Speaker 8: in a San Francisco world. Sometimes the type ends have 1071 00:54:00,800 --> 00:54:03,640 Speaker 8: to be a part of their play action protections. And 1072 00:54:03,920 --> 00:54:06,759 Speaker 8: that's when brock Perty gets hurt in the NFC title game, 1073 00:54:06,960 --> 00:54:10,040 Speaker 8: he's blocking an edge rusher a tight end. Is so, 1074 00:54:10,239 --> 00:54:12,919 Speaker 8: but that's not necessarily what Buffalo and can have done 1075 00:54:13,000 --> 00:54:15,520 Speaker 8: over the past couple of weeks. So I lean not 1076 00:54:15,640 --> 00:54:18,400 Speaker 8: towards that. I mean really in play action protection, it's 1077 00:54:18,840 --> 00:54:20,880 Speaker 8: it's it's more safe. 1078 00:54:21,120 --> 00:54:21,319 Speaker 11: You know. 1079 00:54:21,480 --> 00:54:23,439 Speaker 8: Now you're moving a little bit, and if you get 1080 00:54:23,480 --> 00:54:28,080 Speaker 8: beat inside or you get beat early, that's a problem. 1081 00:54:28,520 --> 00:54:32,080 Speaker 8: But that's the case for dropback protection and well as well. 1082 00:54:32,600 --> 00:54:35,400 Speaker 8: And it's not like Jacksonville does a ton of unique 1083 00:54:35,440 --> 00:54:38,200 Speaker 8: fronts on early downs. Like sometimes Jacksonville would get into 1084 00:54:38,200 --> 00:54:41,480 Speaker 8: a five man front that's their base early down five 1085 00:54:41,560 --> 00:54:45,040 Speaker 8: man front with about five defensive linemen across the line 1086 00:54:45,040 --> 00:54:50,120 Speaker 8: of scrimmage. But I don't think that Buffalo's play action 1087 00:54:50,280 --> 00:54:55,120 Speaker 8: pass protection is intricate enough where that would scare them 1088 00:54:55,160 --> 00:54:59,000 Speaker 8: away from it. So I don't necessarily know why they 1089 00:54:59,040 --> 00:55:00,919 Speaker 8: didn't do it more. And I don't think that there's 1090 00:55:00,960 --> 00:55:05,719 Speaker 8: a ton from a defense unless they're an overwhelming, like 1091 00:55:05,920 --> 00:55:09,440 Speaker 8: overload pressure unit that would scare you away from doing it. 1092 00:55:10,160 --> 00:55:12,800 Speaker 4: What do you think was missing from Buffalo's offense Sunday? 1093 00:55:14,800 --> 00:55:17,200 Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean definitely, we just talked about a little bit. 1094 00:55:17,520 --> 00:55:18,520 Speaker 11: Was way more play action. 1095 00:55:18,760 --> 00:55:20,920 Speaker 8: You know, they just didn't live into that world, and 1096 00:55:20,960 --> 00:55:23,480 Speaker 8: then they didn't generate a lot of the chunk. 1097 00:55:23,239 --> 00:55:24,200 Speaker 11: Pass game world. 1098 00:55:24,560 --> 00:55:27,160 Speaker 8: And not only that, you know, I think we touched 1099 00:55:27,160 --> 00:55:30,520 Speaker 8: on this last week, guys is if you watched you know, 1100 00:55:30,880 --> 00:55:33,600 Speaker 8: I'm talking about this today on NFL Live. This second 1101 00:55:33,680 --> 00:55:37,400 Speaker 8: level meaning like that linebacker level right that five yards 1102 00:55:37,400 --> 00:55:41,560 Speaker 8: off the ball level of Jacksonville's defense was downhill in 1103 00:55:41,640 --> 00:55:44,680 Speaker 8: the run game, and we hit last week that not 1104 00:55:44,719 --> 00:55:47,400 Speaker 8: only putting Josh under center and running play action was 1105 00:55:47,840 --> 00:55:50,120 Speaker 8: you know, great for them because it helped their protection 1106 00:55:50,239 --> 00:55:52,440 Speaker 8: and Josh could drive the ball downfield and it allowed 1107 00:55:52,480 --> 00:55:55,719 Speaker 8: Steph time to work on his routes because that's his superpower. 1108 00:55:56,200 --> 00:55:59,480 Speaker 8: They had become a top three run team when they 1109 00:55:59,480 --> 00:56:03,160 Speaker 8: would put underneath and run the football. That wasn't the 1110 00:56:03,239 --> 00:56:07,279 Speaker 8: case again. And you know, if you watch Jacksonville's second 1111 00:56:07,360 --> 00:56:09,560 Speaker 8: level defenders, when they're trying to gun run the ball, 1112 00:56:09,640 --> 00:56:13,400 Speaker 8: it's downhill, hit downhill. And so they lost that element 1113 00:56:13,480 --> 00:56:16,280 Speaker 8: of their offense as well. And so I just think 1114 00:56:17,719 --> 00:56:20,799 Speaker 8: kind of reverting back to that and not even expanding 1115 00:56:20,840 --> 00:56:23,279 Speaker 8: it hindered them a little bit. And they didn't gain 1116 00:56:23,320 --> 00:56:27,279 Speaker 8: any type of explosive plays outside of one or two, 1117 00:56:27,320 --> 00:56:30,200 Speaker 8: and one of them was that play action to Steph. 1118 00:56:30,239 --> 00:56:35,440 Speaker 8: So it just forced a higher level of efficiency and 1119 00:56:35,480 --> 00:56:36,839 Speaker 8: that that didn't happen. 1120 00:56:37,239 --> 00:56:37,600 Speaker 2: All right. 1121 00:56:37,640 --> 00:56:41,640 Speaker 1: So spinning it forward to the Giants here in week six, 1122 00:56:42,239 --> 00:56:44,560 Speaker 1: I know, the Bills, even despite last week's game, are 1123 00:56:44,600 --> 00:56:47,439 Speaker 1: still second in the league in point differential, behind only 1124 00:56:47,480 --> 00:56:49,719 Speaker 1: San Francisco, you know who's been wiping the floor with 1125 00:56:49,760 --> 00:56:55,319 Speaker 1: people lately. The Giants are are the complete opposite end 1126 00:56:55,360 --> 00:56:58,880 Speaker 1: of the spectrum. They're minus ninety one after five games, 1127 00:56:58,960 --> 00:57:02,919 Speaker 1: Dan Like, it's thirty one more points than the Broncos 1128 00:57:03,360 --> 00:57:05,160 Speaker 1: in terms of net point differential. 1129 00:57:05,239 --> 00:57:05,520 Speaker 4: That is. 1130 00:57:05,880 --> 00:57:07,840 Speaker 1: I mean, I know they were struggling, but that's just 1131 00:57:08,239 --> 00:57:11,360 Speaker 1: stunning to me. After five games they've scored three points 1132 00:57:11,400 --> 00:57:15,000 Speaker 1: in the first quarter all season. We know that Daniel 1133 00:57:15,040 --> 00:57:17,560 Speaker 1: Jones has come under fire. He's actually gotten injured too, 1134 00:57:17,600 --> 00:57:19,920 Speaker 1: and his a little bit iffy for this week. Do 1135 00:57:19,960 --> 00:57:23,800 Speaker 1: you just break it down for us offensively for them? 1136 00:57:24,360 --> 00:57:30,320 Speaker 1: Is this more a byproduct of jones internal clock is 1137 00:57:30,440 --> 00:57:33,240 Speaker 1: completely shell shocked from all. 1138 00:57:33,160 --> 00:57:34,560 Speaker 2: The pressure that he has received. 1139 00:57:34,600 --> 00:57:37,680 Speaker 1: So is this a protection issue or is it you know, 1140 00:57:37,800 --> 00:57:41,960 Speaker 1: Daniel Jones not letting it go and trusting it issue. 1141 00:57:42,760 --> 00:57:46,840 Speaker 8: Yeah, it's it's probably it's more of a protection issue, 1142 00:57:46,920 --> 00:57:49,000 Speaker 8: and it's gotten worse as the weeks have gone on. 1143 00:57:49,840 --> 00:57:53,320 Speaker 8: And then it's the the quarterback. Isn't one of those 1144 00:57:53,360 --> 00:57:58,400 Speaker 8: guys that can overcompensate or overcome some of the protection issues. 1145 00:57:58,800 --> 00:58:02,240 Speaker 8: Last year, the success the Giants came from really two things, 1146 00:58:02,320 --> 00:58:05,520 Speaker 8: at least specifically to the offense. Outside of Saquan's performance, 1147 00:58:06,040 --> 00:58:10,560 Speaker 8: they did a great job of prioritizing protection. You know, 1148 00:58:10,640 --> 00:58:13,600 Speaker 8: they would have seven man eight man protection, and they 1149 00:58:13,600 --> 00:58:18,320 Speaker 8: weren't super explosive on offense, but didn't give the ball away. 1150 00:58:18,520 --> 00:58:21,400 Speaker 8: They stayed ahead of the chains. They were very efficient 1151 00:58:21,520 --> 00:58:25,360 Speaker 8: on offense, and then they would hit a chunk here 1152 00:58:25,440 --> 00:58:28,880 Speaker 8: or there, and they never panicked. Daniel wasn't in moments 1153 00:58:28,880 --> 00:58:30,880 Speaker 8: of panicking with the football because he had to think 1154 00:58:30,920 --> 00:58:34,680 Speaker 8: too fast. That hasn't really been a foundational piece of 1155 00:58:34,760 --> 00:58:37,600 Speaker 8: this year. I don't know why, but that hasn't been 1156 00:58:37,600 --> 00:58:40,160 Speaker 8: the case. And the second thing was Daniel was a 1157 00:58:40,200 --> 00:58:43,080 Speaker 8: problem solver, you know, like he did a great job 1158 00:58:43,160 --> 00:58:45,040 Speaker 8: last year. If you know, I got a problem with 1159 00:58:45,080 --> 00:58:46,720 Speaker 8: protection here, get the ball out, or I got a 1160 00:58:46,720 --> 00:58:48,720 Speaker 8: problem with the coverage here, throw the check down. And 1161 00:58:49,240 --> 00:58:52,880 Speaker 8: it was a very boring offense in many ways, but 1162 00:58:53,120 --> 00:58:55,320 Speaker 8: it was what was necessary for them to have the 1163 00:58:55,400 --> 00:58:57,840 Speaker 8: chance to win, and they did. And this year that's 1164 00:58:57,880 --> 00:59:01,280 Speaker 8: gone away, and I don't know I schematically they got 1165 00:59:01,320 --> 00:59:04,200 Speaker 8: away from some of the protection stuff. They've dealt with 1166 00:59:04,320 --> 00:59:06,960 Speaker 8: injuries on their offensive line. I'm very shocked that they 1167 00:59:06,960 --> 00:59:09,800 Speaker 8: haven't played. They've played as poorly as they've had on offense. 1168 00:59:10,080 --> 00:59:12,120 Speaker 8: You know, their left tackle has been hurt, the right 1169 00:59:12,160 --> 00:59:14,200 Speaker 8: tackle hasn't played to the level that they want to, 1170 00:59:14,320 --> 00:59:16,320 Speaker 8: their left guard has been hurt. So they've been down 1171 00:59:16,400 --> 00:59:18,920 Speaker 8: some some guys, there's no doubt about that. And then 1172 00:59:19,400 --> 00:59:22,280 Speaker 8: Daniel just you know, you wanted him to take this 1173 00:59:22,400 --> 00:59:24,560 Speaker 8: leap this year because the offensive line will be healthier 1174 00:59:24,560 --> 00:59:26,680 Speaker 8: and they got Darren Waller, and they drafted player named 1175 00:59:26,760 --> 00:59:29,360 Speaker 8: Jalen Hyatt out of the University of Tennessee who's a speedster. 1176 00:59:29,520 --> 00:59:32,280 Speaker 8: And you know, Wandale Robinson, who's their second your player 1177 00:59:32,280 --> 00:59:34,400 Speaker 8: out of Kentucky's there, and so they got more talent. 1178 00:59:35,400 --> 00:59:39,080 Speaker 8: And Daniel's just not that player. He's a good player, 1179 00:59:39,120 --> 00:59:42,800 Speaker 8: he's just not that player. And it's kind of been 1180 00:59:42,840 --> 00:59:44,360 Speaker 8: a snowball for their offense. 1181 00:59:44,520 --> 00:59:47,800 Speaker 4: So if how do the Giants how what's the scenario 1182 00:59:47,800 --> 00:59:50,720 Speaker 4: where the Giants walk into Buffalo Sunday night football and 1183 00:59:50,800 --> 00:59:53,400 Speaker 4: beat the Bills? I mean how it seems as though, 1184 00:59:53,640 --> 00:59:55,880 Speaker 4: and we've talked about it at length, when the Bills 1185 00:59:55,920 --> 00:59:58,200 Speaker 4: get beat, they helped the opponent. Now certainly they didn't 1186 00:59:58,240 --> 01:00:00,280 Speaker 4: do it with turnovers, ring, but penalty's hurt in this 1187 01:00:00,360 --> 01:00:03,200 Speaker 4: last week, they were flat. They couldn't, you know, drop passes, 1188 01:00:03,240 --> 01:00:06,960 Speaker 4: the untimely drops, not being efficient on offense. How do 1189 01:00:07,040 --> 01:00:10,560 Speaker 4: the Bills help the Giants this Sunday night? If the 1190 01:00:10,560 --> 01:00:11,760 Speaker 4: Giants are gonna win this game? 1191 01:00:12,800 --> 01:00:16,080 Speaker 8: Yeah, so I'd say, like the Bills would have to 1192 01:00:16,120 --> 01:00:20,560 Speaker 8: be really poor tackling, you know, just because the Giants 1193 01:00:20,560 --> 01:00:23,520 Speaker 8: will I would imagine do everything they can to get 1194 01:00:23,560 --> 01:00:25,920 Speaker 8: the ball out quickly given the pass rush that Buffalo 1195 01:00:26,080 --> 01:00:28,720 Speaker 8: still is showing. So get the ball out quickly and 1196 01:00:28,760 --> 01:00:31,760 Speaker 8: try to get completions. You're playing against the zone heavy 1197 01:00:31,760 --> 01:00:34,479 Speaker 8: defense in Buffalo, so they'd have to be really poor 1198 01:00:34,760 --> 01:00:40,000 Speaker 8: tackling on the defensive end and allow the ball to 1199 01:00:40,040 --> 01:00:42,600 Speaker 8: get over their head with adjailent highat But they haven't 1200 01:00:42,640 --> 01:00:45,440 Speaker 8: really tried that, Steve. You know, it's they haven't really 1201 01:00:45,480 --> 01:00:48,760 Speaker 8: tried that. So I think defensively, it's just like, can 1202 01:00:48,800 --> 01:00:51,240 Speaker 8: they make sure that they tackle really well because their 1203 01:00:51,280 --> 01:00:55,040 Speaker 8: defensive line should be able to have a ton of 1204 01:00:55,080 --> 01:00:58,840 Speaker 8: success against the Giants offensive line. And then I think offensively, 1205 01:00:59,240 --> 01:01:03,200 Speaker 8: you're gonna see man coverage. Their pass rush has been okay, 1206 01:01:03,240 --> 01:01:06,520 Speaker 8: it hasn't been as good as expected. They will throw 1207 01:01:06,600 --> 01:01:10,200 Speaker 8: some unique coverages at you. They had to pick six 1208 01:01:10,240 --> 01:01:11,840 Speaker 8: off two of last week, but that was a little 1209 01:01:11,840 --> 01:01:13,560 Speaker 8: bit more of a Tua thing. You know, if you 1210 01:01:13,600 --> 01:01:17,920 Speaker 8: remember the interception that you guys had Buffalo had against 1211 01:01:18,000 --> 01:01:19,800 Speaker 8: Tua when he's trying to throw the scene route is 1212 01:01:19,840 --> 01:01:23,000 Speaker 8: a very similar kind of concept where they didn't look 1213 01:01:23,000 --> 01:01:25,120 Speaker 8: at to his eyes, you know, they just kind of 1214 01:01:25,400 --> 01:01:27,720 Speaker 8: stayed to where their landmarks of the defense. 1215 01:01:27,840 --> 01:01:28,160 Speaker 11: And so. 1216 01:01:29,720 --> 01:01:32,160 Speaker 8: You know, I don't think that their defense was like 1217 01:01:32,560 --> 01:01:35,360 Speaker 8: this takeaway defense and then to to throw another ball 1218 01:01:35,400 --> 01:01:37,200 Speaker 8: where miscommunication. 1219 01:01:36,560 --> 01:01:37,480 Speaker 11: For another interception. 1220 01:01:37,680 --> 01:01:40,480 Speaker 8: So Josh will see some man coverage, You'll see some 1221 01:01:40,600 --> 01:01:43,439 Speaker 8: unique coverages, He'll see some unique pressures and blitzes because 1222 01:01:43,440 --> 01:01:45,440 Speaker 8: they I would imagine they'll try to take the ball away. So, 1223 01:01:46,000 --> 01:01:50,919 Speaker 8: you know, if Buffalo plays their level of football, I'm 1224 01:01:50,920 --> 01:01:53,040 Speaker 8: not even saying like their a level of football, but 1225 01:01:53,160 --> 01:01:56,360 Speaker 8: like they're they're winnable level of football, whatever you want to. 1226 01:01:56,440 --> 01:01:59,000 Speaker 11: Categorize, that is that they should handle New York. 1227 01:01:59,600 --> 01:02:03,800 Speaker 1: Uh, does anything change if for some reason Daniel Jones 1228 01:02:03,800 --> 01:02:06,320 Speaker 1: cannot play with the neck injury and Tyrod goes in 1229 01:02:06,360 --> 01:02:09,080 Speaker 1: Bills fans are all too familiar with Tyrod. But within 1230 01:02:09,120 --> 01:02:13,240 Speaker 1: the scope of the Giants offense, does anything change if 1231 01:02:13,280 --> 01:02:15,120 Speaker 1: Tyrod gets the start Sunday night? 1232 01:02:16,560 --> 01:02:19,880 Speaker 8: Now, you know Tyrod, you know Daniels a really good athlete. 1233 01:02:20,000 --> 01:02:22,880 Speaker 8: Tyrod's a really good athlete. Tyrod's seen a ton, but 1234 01:02:23,440 --> 01:02:27,240 Speaker 8: he's not necessarily this get it out, you know style 1235 01:02:27,280 --> 01:02:31,560 Speaker 8: of quarterbacks. So their offense doesn't change that much. They 1236 01:02:31,920 --> 01:02:33,840 Speaker 8: use a little bit of the quarterback run with Daniel. 1237 01:02:33,880 --> 01:02:35,200 Speaker 11: They use a little bit of the zone read with 1238 01:02:35,280 --> 01:02:35,720 Speaker 11: him as well. 1239 01:02:35,800 --> 01:02:39,920 Speaker 8: So stylistically, you know, maybe maybe Tyrod would be more 1240 01:02:39,960 --> 01:02:41,960 Speaker 8: willing to try and shoot the ball down field a 1241 01:02:41,960 --> 01:02:45,040 Speaker 8: little bit more, but stylistically that they won't be all 1242 01:02:45,040 --> 01:02:45,560 Speaker 8: that different. 1243 01:02:46,000 --> 01:02:48,640 Speaker 4: So as you see this game going forward for the Bills, 1244 01:02:49,440 --> 01:02:52,080 Speaker 4: certainly they didn't forget how to play offense this last week, 1245 01:02:52,120 --> 01:02:57,240 Speaker 4: and certainly the Jaguars are no pushover. Yeah, what do 1246 01:02:57,320 --> 01:02:59,520 Speaker 4: you see around the now? The Bills, you're right, have 1247 01:02:59,640 --> 01:03:03,320 Speaker 4: been estimated by injury? What about the teams? And I 1248 01:03:03,360 --> 01:03:07,560 Speaker 4: guess every team does it. What do you see as 1249 01:03:07,600 --> 01:03:09,840 Speaker 4: the you know, prognosis for a team that's got to 1250 01:03:09,880 --> 01:03:12,120 Speaker 4: overcome all this stuff, stay healthy, you know what I mean? 1251 01:03:12,480 --> 01:03:16,160 Speaker 4: Acclimating guys who are not expected to play now they're playing. Now, 1252 01:03:16,200 --> 01:03:20,040 Speaker 4: they're starting, and you may have to make some, you know, 1253 01:03:20,160 --> 01:03:23,840 Speaker 4: some different decisions about your style of play as an 1254 01:03:23,840 --> 01:03:26,080 Speaker 4: offense or defense when you got guys in there that 1255 01:03:26,160 --> 01:03:27,439 Speaker 4: are different talent level. 1256 01:03:28,600 --> 01:03:31,400 Speaker 8: Yeah, I don't think offensively, there's a ton of concern 1257 01:03:31,520 --> 01:03:33,000 Speaker 8: right now with injuries. 1258 01:03:33,200 --> 01:03:34,320 Speaker 11: I think defensively. 1259 01:03:34,400 --> 01:03:37,600 Speaker 8: And you know, these these are like the never fun 1260 01:03:37,800 --> 01:03:41,720 Speaker 8: comments indoor conversations. I always get you know, kind of 1261 01:03:41,760 --> 01:03:43,560 Speaker 8: stuck with this stuff. Steve, We're not stuck with it, 1262 01:03:43,640 --> 01:03:46,919 Speaker 8: but you know, cause big time players will get hurt, 1263 01:03:47,040 --> 01:03:49,080 Speaker 8: and I hear it will often hear people be like, 1264 01:03:49,120 --> 01:03:52,160 Speaker 8: oh they'll they'll be okay, or they can survive. I 1265 01:03:52,240 --> 01:03:55,680 Speaker 8: don't necessarily subscribe to that a ton, you know, like 1266 01:03:55,760 --> 01:03:58,480 Speaker 8: Tredevius White is a highly paid corner for a reason, 1267 01:03:58,520 --> 01:04:02,120 Speaker 8: Matt Mlano is a highly paid linebacker for a reason. 1268 01:04:02,640 --> 01:04:05,160 Speaker 8: Don't You don't just like replace those guys and there 1269 01:04:05,240 --> 01:04:08,360 Speaker 8: is going to be an impact of them not being there. 1270 01:04:08,400 --> 01:04:12,280 Speaker 8: You wouldn't pay them if there wasn't. And you know, 1271 01:04:12,920 --> 01:04:15,960 Speaker 8: I think that the burden of their defensive line is 1272 01:04:16,160 --> 01:04:18,600 Speaker 8: going to go up. And I don't know what Jones's 1273 01:04:18,760 --> 01:04:22,560 Speaker 8: health in long term prognosis is, but the burden of 1274 01:04:22,600 --> 01:04:26,120 Speaker 8: the defensive line is going to go up. You know, 1275 01:04:26,160 --> 01:04:29,640 Speaker 8: Buffalo probably plays a little bit less man than they were, 1276 01:04:30,120 --> 01:04:32,080 Speaker 8: and they weren't obviously playing a ton of it, but 1277 01:04:32,520 --> 01:04:35,800 Speaker 8: you know, players like Elam and Dane have to step 1278 01:04:35,920 --> 01:04:41,360 Speaker 8: up and become more consistent pros and are they capable 1279 01:04:41,440 --> 01:04:44,960 Speaker 8: of that? That's gonna be the big story, you know 1280 01:04:45,080 --> 01:04:48,520 Speaker 8: through this season for Buffalo is will those players that 1281 01:04:49,240 --> 01:04:52,240 Speaker 8: weren't expected to be in those roles be able to 1282 01:04:52,400 --> 01:04:58,120 Speaker 8: play at a certainly winning level. And then as you 1283 01:04:58,160 --> 01:05:02,120 Speaker 8: get down the road, man, it's gonna be Candace offense, 1284 01:05:02,560 --> 01:05:04,360 Speaker 8: you know, once they get into the playoffs, because I 1285 01:05:04,360 --> 01:05:09,040 Speaker 8: believe they do. Still absolutely Candace offense carry them and 1286 01:05:09,120 --> 01:05:12,480 Speaker 8: can Josh carry them? And if they can, and that 1287 01:05:12,760 --> 01:05:17,440 Speaker 8: other side can be complementary enough with some of those losses, 1288 01:05:17,760 --> 01:05:20,200 Speaker 8: I still think it's a really bright future. 1289 01:05:20,360 --> 01:05:22,400 Speaker 1: Last one I got here, yeah, last one I got 1290 01:05:22,440 --> 01:05:24,040 Speaker 1: for you, Dan, And I know we'll talk more about 1291 01:05:24,040 --> 01:05:26,960 Speaker 1: this next week because it is Buffalo's Week seven opponent. 1292 01:05:27,040 --> 01:05:29,680 Speaker 2: But it seems like the stuff has really hit the 1293 01:05:29,680 --> 01:05:30,560 Speaker 2: fan in New England. 1294 01:05:30,600 --> 01:05:34,320 Speaker 1: Here three points in each of the last two weeks. 1295 01:05:35,160 --> 01:05:37,960 Speaker 1: Matt Jones has been benched each of the last two weeks. 1296 01:05:40,120 --> 01:05:44,280 Speaker 1: It doesn't look like the cavalry is coming anytime soon 1297 01:05:44,360 --> 01:05:45,920 Speaker 1: to help the New England Patriots. 1298 01:05:46,920 --> 01:05:48,160 Speaker 2: How bad is it? 1299 01:05:49,920 --> 01:05:50,400 Speaker 7: It's bad? 1300 01:05:50,800 --> 01:05:52,600 Speaker 8: Would I would say it's probably the worst place in 1301 01:05:52,640 --> 01:05:58,720 Speaker 8: the NFL to play quarterback right now? You know, bluntly put, 1302 01:05:59,080 --> 01:06:03,240 Speaker 8: it's the worst pass protecting offensive line in football. It's 1303 01:06:03,280 --> 01:06:06,760 Speaker 8: the worst group when it comes to guys you can 1304 01:06:06,800 --> 01:06:09,480 Speaker 8: get open in football right now. That's that's what the 1305 01:06:09,560 --> 01:06:13,040 Speaker 8: tape says. That's what the numbers and stats people say 1306 01:06:13,080 --> 01:06:17,760 Speaker 8: as well. So it's it's bad now. I asked this 1307 01:06:17,880 --> 01:06:20,760 Speaker 8: question the other day, who who was the last New 1308 01:06:20,800 --> 01:06:25,760 Speaker 8: England Patriot drafted in the offensive skill group that became 1309 01:06:25,840 --> 01:06:28,680 Speaker 8: like a really good player, like like I'm not talking 1310 01:06:28,800 --> 01:06:32,560 Speaker 8: All Pro or Pro Bowl, just a really good impactful player. 1311 01:06:33,000 --> 01:06:35,840 Speaker 8: I think I go back to like James White, you know. Remindra, 1312 01:06:35,880 --> 01:06:38,160 Speaker 8: Stevenson looked really good last year, but he hasn't done 1313 01:06:38,760 --> 01:06:40,920 Speaker 8: nearly what he did last year this year. And so 1314 01:06:41,520 --> 01:06:44,600 Speaker 8: it's a bad situation in New England right now. It's 1315 01:06:44,720 --> 01:06:48,760 Speaker 8: it's not a good roster, and it's it's. 1316 01:06:48,560 --> 01:06:50,760 Speaker 11: A tough watch on tape. It's a tough watch. 1317 01:06:51,280 --> 01:06:51,800 Speaker 3: Yeah. 1318 01:06:51,840 --> 01:06:56,440 Speaker 4: Well, you know what the word shadden freud means. It's 1319 01:06:56,480 --> 01:06:58,840 Speaker 4: a German word.

I guess if you 1333 01:07:28,920 --> 01:07:31,000 Speaker 1: want to soak up more of that New England misery, 1334 01:07:31,160 --> 01:07:35,560 Speaker 1: have at it. I mean, that's why I was shocked, Steve. 1335 01:07:35,640 --> 01:07:37,840 Speaker 1: When you know, I looked at the numbers. I knew 1336 01:07:37,840 --> 01:07:42,520 Speaker 1: things were bad with the Giants and their offense because 1337 01:07:42,560 --> 01:07:44,440 Speaker 1: I hear it from some of my high school buddies 1338 01:07:44,480 --> 01:07:48,000 Speaker 1: a lot right downstate, right like they're lamenting, like, oh, 1339 01:07:48,160 --> 01:07:49,800 Speaker 1: Daniel Jones can't get any protection. 1340 01:07:50,080 --> 01:07:52,400 Speaker 2: This is blah blah blah. But I'm like, all right, 1341 01:07:52,840 --> 01:07:56,760 Speaker 2: they got problems, but not like New England. But you 1342 01:07:56,800 --> 01:07:57,320 Speaker 2: look at it. 1343 01:07:57,360 --> 01:07:59,640 Speaker 4: Three points in the last two games, in each of 1344 01:07:59,640 --> 01:08:01,479 Speaker 4: the last two games, right, I have been the two 1345 01:08:01,600 --> 01:08:04,120 Speaker 4: worst losses of Bill Belichick's coaching career. 1346 01:08:04,600 --> 01:08:08,680 Speaker 1: And they got to win against the Jets, scoring fifteen points. 1347 01:08:08,720 --> 01:08:13,880 Speaker 1: They won the game fifteen to ten. Yeah, I mean, 1348 01:08:14,240 --> 01:08:18,559 Speaker 1: And on the season, New England is minus seventy six 1349 01:08:18,880 --> 01:08:23,800 Speaker 1: in net points. The Giants are minus ninety one. Now 1350 01:08:23,800 --> 01:08:26,000 Speaker 1: that's due in large part to the forty to zhering 1351 01:08:26,080 --> 01:08:29,680 Speaker 1: loss in Week one to the Cowboys. But still the 1352 01:08:29,720 --> 01:08:35,519 Speaker 1: Giants have scored three points in the first quarter this season. 1353 01:08:36,400 --> 01:08:40,280 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's not that is not good. The Saints lumped 1354 01:08:40,360 --> 01:08:46,679 Speaker 4: up New England last week thirty four to nothing. They 1355 01:08:46,760 --> 01:08:49,519 Speaker 4: lost thirty four to three, or thirty five to three, 1356 01:08:49,640 --> 01:08:50,200 Speaker 4: or thirty. 1357 01:08:50,120 --> 01:08:52,400 Speaker 2: Eight, thirty eight to three, thirty cowboys. 1358 01:08:51,880 --> 01:08:55,519 Speaker 1: Three to the Cowboys, and Mac Jones got benched in 1359 01:08:55,560 --> 01:08:57,000 Speaker 1: each of the last two games. And I hate to 1360 01:08:57,000 --> 01:08:59,120 Speaker 1: say it, I'm gonna be the last guy sticking up 1361 01:08:59,120 --> 01:09:02,280 Speaker 1: for mac Jones. But as Dan just said, their old 1362 01:09:02,320 --> 01:09:07,480 Speaker 1: line is horrible, horrible. 1363 01:09:08,040 --> 01:09:12,479 Speaker 4: Yeah, they even even the the guy we've Cole Strange, 1364 01:09:12,520 --> 01:09:14,280 Speaker 4: the guy they draft number one. He's on ir he's 1365 01:09:14,280 --> 01:09:16,880 Speaker 4: not even playing, and he's the guy that was and 1366 01:09:16,920 --> 01:09:19,240 Speaker 4: he they miss him. And he's the guy that everybody's 1367 01:09:19,280 --> 01:09:20,760 Speaker 4: laughing at him for taking him so high in the 1368 01:09:20,760 --> 01:09:23,519 Speaker 4: first round. The first round, he was a third round tech. 1369 01:09:23,560 --> 01:09:25,479 Speaker 2: Jean McVay said, Oh, we're gonna look at him at 1370 01:09:25,479 --> 01:09:26,240 Speaker 2: one on one. 1371 01:09:26,280 --> 01:09:26,920 Speaker 4: Right, So. 1372 01:09:28,800 --> 01:09:30,360 Speaker 1: He was I mean he was half in the bag too, 1373 01:09:30,439 --> 01:09:32,439 Speaker 1: because they didn't have any first or second round picks. 1374 01:09:32,560 --> 01:09:34,440 Speaker 2: But that's night one of the draft. 1375 01:09:34,400 --> 01:09:37,439 Speaker 4: Right, So that's you know, they're it's they're in a 1376 01:09:37,479 --> 01:09:39,120 Speaker 4: bad way. They're in a bad way. 1377 01:09:39,120 --> 01:09:43,120 Speaker 1: It's rough, But I guess it's I guess in some respect. 1378 01:09:43,720 --> 01:09:45,400 Speaker 1: Not that you'd hear this from the Bill's locker room 1379 01:09:45,479 --> 01:09:48,040 Speaker 1: or anybody on their coaching staff say this, but I 1380 01:09:48,080 --> 01:09:52,519 Speaker 1: think for Bills fans, that's why I'm just thinking, even 1381 01:09:52,600 --> 01:09:55,760 Speaker 1: in spite of all these injuries, let's just let's just relax, 1382 01:09:55,880 --> 01:09:59,640 Speaker 1: pump the brakes a little bit. They're playing two opponents 1383 01:09:59,680 --> 01:10:03,000 Speaker 1: that they should beat even with their current roster beat up. 1384 01:10:03,720 --> 01:10:06,759 Speaker 1: So let's just see how things materialize with the guys 1385 01:10:06,760 --> 01:10:09,120 Speaker 1: that are filling in the next couple of weeks with 1386 01:10:09,200 --> 01:10:11,040 Speaker 1: the Giants here at home and then on the road 1387 01:10:11,040 --> 01:10:13,479 Speaker 1: against the Patriots next week, and and just kind of 1388 01:10:13,520 --> 01:10:16,479 Speaker 1: sift through some of the guys you got to plug 1389 01:10:16,520 --> 01:10:18,800 Speaker 1: in and play for some of the people you lost 1390 01:10:18,840 --> 01:10:22,400 Speaker 1: to injury. You may be pleasantly surprised if these next 1391 01:10:22,400 --> 01:10:25,840 Speaker 1: two games are a struggle to win. Okay, maybe it 1392 01:10:25,920 --> 01:10:28,840 Speaker 1: is time to reassess. You still have time, you know, 1393 01:10:28,920 --> 01:10:31,240 Speaker 1: before the trade deadline or to see what's out there. 1394 01:10:31,439 --> 01:10:34,920 Speaker 1: But I would just say your front office built this 1395 01:10:35,080 --> 01:10:38,919 Speaker 1: roster with proven depth. Let's see that depth prove itself 1396 01:10:39,400 --> 01:10:42,320 Speaker 1: this week and next week and see where you are. 1397 01:10:42,600 --> 01:10:45,680 Speaker 4: Right And I'm that's not out outlandishes, no, because I'm 1398 01:10:46,000 --> 01:10:48,000 Speaker 4: you and I I think you and I are maybe 1399 01:10:48,040 --> 01:10:50,000 Speaker 4: in a different spot than a lot of Bills fans 1400 01:10:50,000 --> 01:10:52,000 Speaker 4: are because we're sitting here. You and I have sat 1401 01:10:52,000 --> 01:10:55,240 Speaker 4: here and watched this team take shape from the new 1402 01:10:55,280 --> 01:11:00,559 Speaker 4: guys training camp, walk throughs OTA's and they're out here 1403 01:11:00,560 --> 01:11:04,320 Speaker 4: playing tug of war in May remember, and we've seen 1404 01:11:04,360 --> 01:11:06,280 Speaker 4: it take shape, and we've seen all these guys. And 1405 01:11:06,600 --> 01:11:11,040 Speaker 4: I've got a great deal of curiosity and enthusiastic curiosity 1406 01:11:12,120 --> 01:11:17,080 Speaker 4: about watching guys like Kyrie Elam take another step. Dorian Williams. 1407 01:11:17,920 --> 01:11:21,320 Speaker 4: I can't imagine where Dorian Williams head was when he 1408 01:11:21,400 --> 01:11:24,080 Speaker 4: got into the game this last weekend. Uh. And I 1409 01:11:24,120 --> 01:11:26,600 Speaker 4: know people say, well, he's on this head. Listen, you 1410 01:11:27,120 --> 01:11:30,000 Speaker 4: you go in, you get plugged where you're not expecting. 1411 01:11:30,040 --> 01:11:32,080 Speaker 2: You're asked to to place Matt Milan right. 1412 01:11:32,400 --> 01:11:34,640 Speaker 4: Go, You're in the middle of the NF in an 1413 01:11:34,720 --> 01:11:37,760 Speaker 4: NFL's number one defense and let's go. 1414 01:11:38,320 --> 01:11:39,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, he was. 1415 01:11:39,880 --> 01:11:46,360 Speaker 4: He was moving so fast. I'm I know his adrenaline 1416 01:11:46,560 --> 01:11:51,679 Speaker 4: kicked in through the roof, and I can just relate 1417 01:11:51,720 --> 01:11:53,160 Speaker 4: so much to it. So some of these guys are 1418 01:11:53,160 --> 01:11:55,640 Speaker 4: gonna need to take a deep breath and say, Okay, no, 1419 01:11:55,720 --> 01:11:57,360 Speaker 4: you know what, I belong here, I'm gonna do this, 1420 01:11:57,400 --> 01:12:00,519 Speaker 4: I'm gonna play. Well, let's go. Because Dorian Williams was 1421 01:12:00,560 --> 01:12:02,880 Speaker 4: overrunning some stuff during this game. I mean he got 1422 01:12:02,920 --> 01:12:05,160 Speaker 4: he got pulled out, he missed some tackle. He was 1423 01:12:05,200 --> 01:12:10,760 Speaker 4: going crazy. So you know, you gotta give the he 1424 01:12:10,840 --> 01:12:13,360 Speaker 4: was around the ball, he was, Yeah, he was seeing it. 1425 01:12:13,439 --> 01:12:16,000 Speaker 2: Tackles onles an hour, he was. 1426 01:12:15,960 --> 01:12:19,000 Speaker 4: Seeing it all. He was there, but man, oh man, 1427 01:12:19,040 --> 01:12:19,400 Speaker 4: he was. 1428 01:12:19,360 --> 01:12:22,840 Speaker 2: Like jumping out of his skin. Yeah. 1429 01:12:22,880 --> 01:12:25,320 Speaker 4: So if you can just get that guy to put 1430 01:12:25,320 --> 01:12:28,599 Speaker 4: a lid on it for just a minute and harness it, 1431 01:12:29,800 --> 01:12:31,400 Speaker 4: you know, he may be a guy. He may come 1432 01:12:31,439 --> 01:12:35,840 Speaker 4: out and impress this just like uh Bernard has. So 1433 01:12:36,160 --> 01:12:39,040 Speaker 4: I'm I'm really curious about that. And and I think 1434 01:12:39,479 --> 01:12:41,920 Speaker 4: Khalil Shakir same thing. He's got to settle down and 1435 01:12:42,200 --> 01:12:44,720 Speaker 4: fit and settle in this week will be a big take. 1436 01:12:44,760 --> 01:12:46,560 Speaker 4: If he has to play a lot this week, I 1437 01:12:47,120 --> 01:12:49,400 Speaker 4: sense he will feel different, whether he plays differently or 1438 01:12:49,439 --> 01:12:52,080 Speaker 4: I don't know, he's gonna feel differently. You know, he's 1439 01:12:52,120 --> 01:12:54,960 Speaker 4: gonna be there and he's gonna have a minute. Same 1440 01:12:55,000 --> 01:12:59,040 Speaker 4: thing with all these these young guys. Kingsley Jonathan I 1441 01:12:59,280 --> 01:13:02,000 Speaker 4: put on the white. That guy is going to be 1442 01:13:02,040 --> 01:13:03,600 Speaker 4: a name. Bill's fans are gonna love here in the 1443 01:13:03,640 --> 01:13:06,400 Speaker 4: near fiewd. He is playing extra when he gets reps. 1444 01:13:06,960 --> 01:13:11,679 Speaker 4: That guy shows up. So guys like that. This team 1445 01:13:12,680 --> 01:13:15,799 Speaker 4: does have some really intriguing guys that I'm really excited 1446 01:13:15,800 --> 01:13:18,599 Speaker 4: to see play now. You know, whether they go out 1447 01:13:18,600 --> 01:13:20,840 Speaker 4: and it all blows up in our face against the 1448 01:13:20,840 --> 01:13:23,120 Speaker 4: New York Giants, it may because it's they're not playing 1449 01:13:23,160 --> 01:13:27,080 Speaker 4: in a vacuum. But there's a lot of fun reasons 1450 01:13:27,080 --> 01:13:28,759 Speaker 4: to watch these young guys get on the field. 1451 01:13:29,800 --> 01:13:32,240 Speaker 2: Break time for us here, but happy to take more 1452 01:13:32,240 --> 01:13:34,760 Speaker 2: of your phone calls in terms of how you think 1453 01:13:34,800 --> 01:13:37,800 Speaker 2: the Bills should adjust to the recent rash of injuries 1454 01:13:38,200 --> 01:13:41,360 Speaker 2: if at all eight o three five fifty eight five 1455 01:13:41,479 --> 01:13:43,439 Speaker 2: fifty two five fifty will take more of your phone 1456 01:13:43,439 --> 01:13:45,680 Speaker 2: calls when we come back and take a look at 1457 01:13:45,720 --> 01:13:46,360 Speaker 2: the tweet sheet. 1458 01:13:46,479 --> 01:13:48,880 Speaker 1: Got to crack that open here before the show's over. 1459 01:13:49,120 --> 01:13:50,880 Speaker 1: One Bill's Live presented by to Lot of Health. 1460 01:13:50,880 --> 01:14:07,160 Speaker 12: It's Buffalo Bills Radio, The Buffalo Bills. 1461 01:14:06,840 --> 01:14:09,080 Speaker 1: And AD Pro Sports are teaming up to award varsity 1462 01:14:09,080 --> 01:14:11,120 Speaker 1: head football coaches with the Coach of the Week award 1463 01:14:11,200 --> 01:14:13,800 Speaker 1: Week six winners.

As he said himself, Jeremy says, 1486 01:15:17,960 --> 01:15:20,160 Speaker 1: this is probably the hardest question in years. The only 1487 01:15:20,200 --> 01:15:21,720 Speaker 1: thing they can do is hope the depth is as 1488 01:15:21,760 --> 01:15:23,600 Speaker 1: good as we all hope and think it is. I 1489 01:15:23,600 --> 01:15:25,400 Speaker 1: can't say I was really upset with anyone on the 1490 01:15:25,400 --> 01:15:28,040 Speaker 1: defensive side of the ball Sunday, as they hardly had 1491 01:15:28,160 --> 01:15:32,200 Speaker 1: time to prepare to be starters. Yeah, I said on 1492 01:15:32,240 --> 01:15:34,320 Speaker 1: the show yesterday, if you had a problem with the 1493 01:15:34,320 --> 01:15:38,120 Speaker 1: defensive performance in that game, I think you're barking up 1494 01:15:38,120 --> 01:15:38,919 Speaker 1: the wrong tree. 1495 01:15:38,760 --> 01:15:42,479 Speaker 4: Not paying attention that. Certainly they could have played better, 1496 01:15:42,520 --> 01:15:46,759 Speaker 4: but they played well enough to win. It's the offense 1497 01:15:47,160 --> 01:15:49,880 Speaker 4: that couldn't move the football consistent, got off to a 1498 01:15:49,920 --> 01:15:55,559 Speaker 4: slow start. That game changes dramatically. If the Bills play 1499 01:15:55,880 --> 01:15:58,600 Speaker 4: half as well as they did the week before and 1500 01:15:59,240 --> 01:16:01,400 Speaker 4: can get a couple scores in the first half rather 1501 01:16:01,439 --> 01:16:06,040 Speaker 4: than you know, struggle, you know, this is a team 1502 01:16:06,080 --> 01:16:09,559 Speaker 4: that should have had a touchdown a quarter in that 1503 01:16:09,640 --> 01:16:13,280 Speaker 4: game and could not do it. And if they do that, 1504 01:16:14,320 --> 01:16:18,760 Speaker 4: it's a much different football game. That Yeah, despite all 1505 01:16:18,800 --> 01:16:21,400 Speaker 4: the injuries on defense, that's not what the problem was, 1506 01:16:21,600 --> 01:16:24,040 Speaker 4: which is which is stunning to think about. 1507 01:16:25,240 --> 01:16:27,519 Speaker 2: Daniel going old school with his answer here. He says, 1508 01:16:27,560 --> 01:16:29,240 Speaker 2: every team deals with this, and the Bills have been 1509 01:16:29,240 --> 01:16:31,280 Speaker 2: one of the more healthy teams over the past few years. 1510 01:16:31,320 --> 01:16:33,200 Speaker 2: Now it's time to see what they're made of. No excuses, 1511 01:16:33,240 --> 01:16:33,800 Speaker 2: next man out. 1512 01:16:34,520 --> 01:16:37,800 Speaker 4: Yeah, he's right, he is. Last year was probably an 1513 01:16:37,800 --> 01:16:40,080 Speaker 4: exception of that. They were injured last year as well 1514 01:16:40,280 --> 01:16:44,559 Speaker 4: to a great degree, but two years before that, for 1515 01:16:44,600 --> 01:16:47,800 Speaker 4: the two years they were often not injured, the most 1516 01:16:47,840 --> 01:16:50,000 Speaker 4: healthy team in the league, and they were making hay 1517 01:16:50,000 --> 01:16:53,519 Speaker 4: as a result of it. So you can say what 1518 01:16:53,560 --> 01:16:57,200 Speaker 4: you want and blame it on whatever and not accepted, 1519 01:16:57,520 --> 01:16:59,599 Speaker 4: but you got to if you want to dig down 1520 01:16:59,600 --> 01:17:01,719 Speaker 4: to what the root cause of problems are, there's always 1521 01:17:01,760 --> 01:17:06,160 Speaker 4: good reasons for it. Sometimes you don't like the answers 1522 01:17:06,160 --> 01:17:06,439 Speaker 4: to that. 1523 01:17:07,000 --> 01:17:08,360 Speaker 2: Bill's News consolidate. 1524 01:17:08,400 --> 01:17:11,000 Speaker 1: It says, majority of the injuries have happened on defense, 1525 01:17:11,560 --> 01:17:13,840 Speaker 1: knowing the higher potential for other teams to score more 1526 01:17:13,880 --> 01:17:16,240 Speaker 1: points than in previous weeks. Now means we should try 1527 01:17:16,240 --> 01:17:20,720 Speaker 1: to be more aggressive offensively and defensively. That is the question, like, 1528 01:17:21,880 --> 01:17:25,920 Speaker 1: does this offense get more aggressive because they feel they 1529 01:17:26,000 --> 01:17:30,400 Speaker 1: may need to score more points to post victories, or 1530 01:17:30,439 --> 01:17:34,680 Speaker 1: does the defense get more aggressive because they feel they 1531 01:17:34,720 --> 01:17:38,080 Speaker 1: need to accumulate more splash plays to make up for 1532 01:17:38,120 --> 01:17:40,960 Speaker 1: the deficiencies of talent on their starting eleven. 1533 01:17:42,400 --> 01:17:44,680 Speaker 4: I don't think either side's going to change until they 1534 01:17:44,720 --> 01:17:46,519 Speaker 4: get into a game, where I would say inside of 1535 01:17:46,520 --> 01:17:47,360 Speaker 4: the demands they. 1536 01:17:47,320 --> 01:17:48,080 Speaker 2: Can play their game. 1537 01:17:48,400 --> 01:17:52,840 Speaker 4: They don't decide finger quotes that that's what they're going 1538 01:17:52,920 --> 01:17:55,400 Speaker 4: to be from now on. They get into a game 1539 01:17:55,479 --> 01:17:57,920 Speaker 4: and then they pull that out of their toolbox to 1540 01:17:58,040 --> 01:18:00,840 Speaker 4: use it if they need it, whether go more conservative 1541 01:18:00,880 --> 01:18:04,000 Speaker 4: defensively or more aggressive defensively, and vice versa for the offense, 1542 01:18:04,040 --> 01:18:06,000 Speaker 4: whether they go deep and start throwing it all over 1543 01:18:06,040 --> 01:18:09,240 Speaker 4: the joint or to go three tight ends and start 1544 01:18:09,240 --> 01:18:11,320 Speaker 4: handing it off all the time under center. That kind 1545 01:18:11,360 --> 01:18:16,280 Speaker 4: of stuff. You don't you're thinking about this, You know 1546 01:18:17,320 --> 01:18:19,040 Speaker 4: in a way that like you have to make these 1547 01:18:19,040 --> 01:18:21,800 Speaker 4: decisions now and then live with them. You don't you 1548 01:18:22,400 --> 01:18:25,799 Speaker 4: an NFL team is ready to win in multiple different ways. 1549 01:18:26,040 --> 01:18:28,679 Speaker 4: It becomes more difficult when players that you can count 1550 01:18:28,680 --> 01:18:30,800 Speaker 4: on in those situations are injured and you have to 1551 01:18:30,840 --> 01:18:34,360 Speaker 4: depend on somebody you're not sure about. That's the difference. 1552 01:18:35,200 --> 01:18:38,479 Speaker 4: So how that plays out remains to be seen. We 1553 01:18:38,520 --> 01:18:40,160 Speaker 4: have to wait and find out because we don't know 1554 01:18:40,200 --> 01:18:42,760 Speaker 4: anything more about these guys than the coaches do, and 1555 01:18:42,800 --> 01:18:43,840 Speaker 4: they don't know enough yet. 1556 01:18:45,040 --> 01:18:47,919 Speaker 1: Matthew on the tweet, she says, basically, be more effective 1557 01:18:47,920 --> 01:18:50,559 Speaker 1: on offense because I think it would help put less 1558 01:18:50,600 --> 01:18:53,040 Speaker 1: pressure on the defense. I mean, there's no doubt in 1559 01:18:53,080 --> 01:18:57,120 Speaker 1: anybody's mind that the burden of last week's game fell 1560 01:18:57,200 --> 01:19:01,120 Speaker 1: largely on the defense because the struggles that the offense 1561 01:19:01,160 --> 01:19:03,559 Speaker 1: had throughout the course of that game until the latter stages. 1562 01:19:04,040 --> 01:19:07,080 Speaker 1: So too much of the burden fell on the defensive 1563 01:19:07,080 --> 01:19:08,360 Speaker 1: side of the ball to hold them in the game. 1564 01:19:08,400 --> 01:19:10,240 Speaker 1: And for the most part, they came through in doing that, 1565 01:19:11,080 --> 01:19:14,040 Speaker 1: but by the end of the game they couldn't handle. 1566 01:19:13,760 --> 01:19:18,160 Speaker 2: That burden anymore and it's ultimately why they lost. 1567 01:19:18,320 --> 01:19:22,479 Speaker 1: So yeah, more effective offense would certainly help, and it 1568 01:19:22,520 --> 01:19:25,880 Speaker 1: would reduce the burden on the defense, which as we know, 1569 01:19:26,000 --> 01:19:27,120 Speaker 1: will be shorthanded. 1570 01:19:27,439 --> 01:19:28,639 Speaker 2: For the foreseeable future. 1571 01:19:29,200 --> 01:19:32,519 Speaker 1: T Bieber says, I think we hit a stretch where 1572 01:19:32,560 --> 01:19:36,240 Speaker 1: the offense can carry us. Hopefully, if they can put 1573 01:19:36,280 --> 01:19:39,160 Speaker 1: points up, it'll give our defense room for mistakes. It's 1574 01:19:39,160 --> 01:19:42,439 Speaker 1: the best way to learn, in my opinion. It's interesting 1575 01:19:42,560 --> 01:19:46,599 Speaker 1: take there at the end. Yeah, Steve says, I think 1576 01:19:46,640 --> 01:19:50,120 Speaker 1: the defense already adjusted to the injuries during the game 1577 01:19:50,120 --> 01:19:53,200 Speaker 1: on Sunday and they played well. The biggest difference this 1578 01:19:53,240 --> 01:19:56,240 Speaker 1: week is they can coach up the next man up 1579 01:19:56,479 --> 01:19:59,120 Speaker 1: and be even more prepared and adjusted for this game. 1580 01:19:59,200 --> 01:20:02,160 Speaker 1: To your point, se Dorian Williams, for example, if they 1581 01:20:02,200 --> 01:20:04,519 Speaker 1: decide he's going to be the starting will linebacker, he's 1582 01:20:04,560 --> 01:20:07,799 Speaker 1: gonna get all the snaps in practice Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, 1583 01:20:07,840 --> 01:20:12,439 Speaker 1: Saturday and be ultimately more prepared or significantly more prepared 1584 01:20:12,479 --> 01:20:14,519 Speaker 1: for the game on Sunday than just getting thrown in 1585 01:20:14,760 --> 01:20:16,960 Speaker 1: halfway through the first quarter and say go get them. 1586 01:20:17,000 --> 01:20:20,400 Speaker 4: Plus they can, Yeah, coaching them up from what they 1587 01:20:20,400 --> 01:20:22,800 Speaker 4: did in the game this last week will also help them. 1588 01:20:22,800 --> 01:20:26,719 Speaker 4: They'll say, listen, here's what you're thinking. Because the tendency 1589 01:20:26,760 --> 01:20:29,120 Speaker 4: and I'm just saying this happened, but it seemed like 1590 01:20:29,640 --> 01:20:31,720 Speaker 4: it's always an issue. Young guy gets in there, he 1591 01:20:31,800 --> 01:20:33,479 Speaker 4: feels like he's got to make it if he sees it, 1592 01:20:33,520 --> 01:20:36,280 Speaker 4: he's got to make every play. So they're running around 1593 01:20:36,439 --> 01:20:40,639 Speaker 4: like you know, a rocket ship, just jetting off into 1594 01:20:40,680 --> 01:20:42,840 Speaker 4: whatever part of space they want to go to whenever 1595 01:20:42,840 --> 01:20:45,479 Speaker 4: they see a bright light. Right, No, you've got an 1596 01:20:45,479 --> 01:20:49,080 Speaker 4: assignment you still have to carry out. Even when the 1597 01:20:49,080 --> 01:20:51,800 Speaker 4: ball's going over there, You've got to take the right 1598 01:20:51,840 --> 01:20:54,240 Speaker 4: angle and take the right gap because if it cuts back, 1599 01:20:54,280 --> 01:20:56,439 Speaker 4: it's your play to make. Then you got to trust 1600 01:20:56,439 --> 01:20:57,920 Speaker 4: your guys going to make the play at a point 1601 01:20:57,920 --> 01:20:59,960 Speaker 4: of attack. In the run game, that's why I run 1602 01:21:00,080 --> 01:21:02,320 Speaker 4: defenses work, and that's why they're so good in the NFL. 1603 01:21:02,360 --> 01:21:05,679 Speaker 4: These guys are disciplined. If it's your play to make, 1604 01:21:05,720 --> 01:21:08,760 Speaker 4: you make it. You don't try and make somebody else's play. 1605 01:21:08,760 --> 01:21:10,479 Speaker 4: Because when you over commit, all of a sudden, there's 1606 01:21:10,479 --> 01:21:12,800 Speaker 4: nobody where you're supposed to be, and a guy like 1607 01:21:12,840 --> 01:21:16,479 Speaker 4: Barry Sanders, you're looking at his name plate on the 1608 01:21:16,479 --> 01:21:18,960 Speaker 4: back of his jersey, he's gone, and everybody in the 1609 01:21:19,040 --> 01:21:21,439 Speaker 4: league is good enough to do that to you. So 1610 01:21:21,800 --> 01:21:25,120 Speaker 4: you learn quickly to stay disciplined. And I think some 1611 01:21:25,160 --> 01:21:27,599 Speaker 4: of these young guys, man, they were seeing it so well. 1612 01:21:28,200 --> 01:21:31,280 Speaker 2: They were I'm gonna make an amazing play watch. 1613 01:21:31,080 --> 01:21:34,000 Speaker 4: Me, and that's what they do. It's like and they 1614 01:21:34,080 --> 01:21:35,840 Speaker 4: you know, they take off like a road runner, and 1615 01:21:36,200 --> 01:21:38,360 Speaker 4: you know it's just too much. 1616 01:21:39,439 --> 01:21:41,000 Speaker 1: Let's get back to the phone today, do oh three 1617 01:21:41,000 --> 01:21:42,840 Speaker 1: oh five point fifty. We go to Jason on a 1618 01:21:42,880 --> 01:21:44,640 Speaker 1: cell next, what's up Jason. 1619 01:21:45,720 --> 01:21:49,240 Speaker 7: Hey, Christy, Steve, thanks to taking my call. Sure, I 1620 01:21:49,320 --> 01:21:52,479 Speaker 7: just wanted to commend Steve on using one of my 1621 01:21:52,560 --> 01:21:57,000 Speaker 7: favorite words, shodenfreude as it pertains to the Patriots, and 1622 01:21:57,280 --> 01:22:00,519 Speaker 7: just to put the cherry on top of that nice, 1623 01:22:00,560 --> 01:22:04,400 Speaker 7: delicious cake we're all enjoying this season. Chris, I think 1624 01:22:04,439 --> 01:22:06,479 Speaker 7: you said they scored three points in each of the 1625 01:22:06,560 --> 01:22:07,240 Speaker 7: last two games. 1626 01:22:07,360 --> 01:22:09,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, I was wrong about that. They got shut out 1627 01:22:09,439 --> 01:22:09,920 Speaker 1: last week. 1628 01:22:10,120 --> 01:22:13,639 Speaker 4: Yeah, they scored three points in both of those games combined. 1629 01:22:13,720 --> 01:22:16,880 Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, which which I have no problem with 1630 01:22:16,960 --> 01:22:17,640 Speaker 1: being wrong on that. 1631 01:22:17,640 --> 01:22:20,080 Speaker 2: That means they scored even less. So I'm happy here, right. 1632 01:22:20,920 --> 01:22:24,240 Speaker 7: I had two of Bill Belichick's worst losses in back 1633 01:22:24,280 --> 01:22:27,960 Speaker 7: to back games. So you know, we we do have 1634 01:22:28,000 --> 01:22:30,320 Speaker 7: some problems here in Buffalo with the injuries, but I 1635 01:22:30,320 --> 01:22:34,439 Speaker 7: think we'll get through it and living in Rheoan. I'm 1636 01:22:34,520 --> 01:22:37,960 Speaker 7: kind of enjoying what's happening to Patriots Nation right now. 1637 01:22:38,040 --> 01:22:43,000 Speaker 7: So that's that's almost enough for me. Yeah, so thanks, 1638 01:22:43,040 --> 01:22:45,439 Speaker 7: thanks for the show, Guy and Steve. You're doing a 1639 01:22:45,439 --> 01:22:48,360 Speaker 7: great job representing formal football players, pulling out work like 1640 01:22:48,439 --> 01:22:49,240 Speaker 7: shot in Florida. 1641 01:22:49,360 --> 01:22:52,360 Speaker 1: There you go, that is the fifty cent word of 1642 01:22:52,360 --> 01:22:55,120 Speaker 1: the day. Thanks Jason, appreciate the phone call. Let's go 1643 01:22:55,200 --> 01:22:56,880 Speaker 1: to John on a sale next. What do you got 1644 01:22:56,880 --> 01:22:57,080 Speaker 1: for us? 1645 01:22:57,120 --> 01:22:57,400 Speaker 2: John? 1646 01:22:58,720 --> 01:23:00,920 Speaker 10: Yeah, I was just wondering, I want to beat the 1647 01:23:01,040 --> 01:23:03,559 Speaker 10: dead horse, so to speak, about this jet lag thing. 1648 01:23:04,120 --> 01:23:06,559 Speaker 10: I know a lot of people say it doesn't affect them. 1649 01:23:06,840 --> 01:23:09,960 Speaker 10: It does affect them, But watching the game Sunday, you 1650 01:23:10,000 --> 01:23:14,479 Speaker 10: could basically tell that some of the players, not most, 1651 01:23:14,520 --> 01:23:18,479 Speaker 10: but someone were walking around like they're in a zombie movie. Now, 1652 01:23:18,640 --> 01:23:22,519 Speaker 10: I'm wondering if not focusing on the game because they're 1653 01:23:22,520 --> 01:23:25,400 Speaker 10: not one hundred percent, I wonder if that would cause 1654 01:23:25,960 --> 01:23:29,760 Speaker 10: someone to get injured. Debt normally wouldn't because they're not 1655 01:23:29,960 --> 01:23:34,120 Speaker 10: really focused. And I know what jet lack is. I've 1656 01:23:34,120 --> 01:23:37,960 Speaker 10: been overseen several times and I felt like a zombie 1657 01:23:38,040 --> 01:23:40,639 Speaker 10: when I was there, and then when I came back, 1658 01:23:40,680 --> 01:23:43,640 Speaker 10: I felt like a zombie. So I'll hang up and 1659 01:23:43,920 --> 01:23:46,599 Speaker 10: listen to you guys. Thanks so oft to taking my call. 1660 01:23:46,680 --> 01:23:47,679 Speaker 2: Yeah sure, thanks John. 1661 01:23:48,000 --> 01:23:52,240 Speaker 1: I'll say this, if we saw a lot of muscular injuries, 1662 01:23:53,840 --> 01:23:56,599 Speaker 1: I'd be inclined to at least hear your theory out. 1663 01:23:57,840 --> 01:24:00,519 Speaker 1: But I mean, Matt Mulano's injury is an injury we 1664 01:24:00,560 --> 01:24:03,519 Speaker 1: see all the time in football. Unfortunately, he got rolled 1665 01:24:03,600 --> 01:24:06,000 Speaker 1: up on his leg on the end of a play, 1666 01:24:07,000 --> 01:24:11,599 Speaker 1: and that has nothing to do with the travel the 1667 01:24:11,640 --> 01:24:15,680 Speaker 1: playing surface. It's a football play that happens, and unfortunately, 1668 01:24:15,760 --> 01:24:17,960 Speaker 1: guys get injured on those kinds of plays. Usually it's 1669 01:24:18,080 --> 01:24:21,080 Speaker 1: linemen that get those kinds of injuries more than anything. 1670 01:24:21,120 --> 01:24:22,880 Speaker 1: He's just in the wrong place at the wrong time 1671 01:24:22,920 --> 01:24:25,160 Speaker 1: and his foot gets caught under a pile and he 1672 01:24:25,200 --> 01:24:26,800 Speaker 1: can't pull it out in time and he's got a 1673 01:24:26,840 --> 01:24:28,080 Speaker 1: major leg injury. 1674 01:24:27,720 --> 01:24:28,320 Speaker 2: Because of it. 1675 01:24:30,040 --> 01:24:33,759 Speaker 1: Daikwan Jones, he has to dive at the ball carrier 1676 01:24:33,800 --> 01:24:37,200 Speaker 1: to make a tackle. The back half of his body 1677 01:24:37,240 --> 01:24:41,360 Speaker 1: is airborne. The running back changes direction as Daikwan Jones 1678 01:24:41,360 --> 01:24:44,559 Speaker 1: wraps him up with his arms, his entire backside of 1679 01:24:44,600 --> 01:24:47,719 Speaker 1: his body goes swinging around the body of the ball 1680 01:24:47,760 --> 01:24:50,920 Speaker 1: carrier and the last thing that's hanging on to him 1681 01:24:50,920 --> 01:24:53,640 Speaker 1: from daikon is his one arm. So now you've got 1682 01:24:53,720 --> 01:24:57,640 Speaker 1: three hundred and twenty pounds swinging with centripetal force and 1683 01:24:57,760 --> 01:25:01,479 Speaker 1: all of that force is on his pectoral us. That 1684 01:25:01,560 --> 01:25:05,679 Speaker 1: has nothing to do with jet lag, the playing surface, 1685 01:25:06,240 --> 01:25:09,160 Speaker 1: any of that stuff. Again, it's a football play that 1686 01:25:09,200 --> 01:25:11,559 Speaker 1: we've seen happen before. Again, it's just. 1687 01:25:11,840 --> 01:25:14,519 Speaker 2: Too much force on one muscle group in your body 1688 01:25:15,160 --> 01:25:15,920 Speaker 2: and it gives. 1689 01:25:16,320 --> 01:25:20,880 Speaker 1: It's just gonna happen. That's football. So I I respectfully 1690 01:25:21,280 --> 01:25:22,400 Speaker 1: disagree with the theory. 1691 01:25:25,080 --> 01:25:30,479 Speaker 4: Certainly there's there's evidence that when they come out flat, uh, 1692 01:25:30,520 --> 01:25:32,439 Speaker 4: and it will manifest itself in a lot of different 1693 01:25:32,479 --> 01:25:40,640 Speaker 4: ways penalties, drops, lack of lack of concentration, and and 1694 01:25:40,640 --> 01:25:42,960 Speaker 4: when it happens like it does to like groups of guys, 1695 01:25:43,000 --> 01:25:44,640 Speaker 4: you know, like a bunch of guys dropping balls, a 1696 01:25:44,640 --> 01:25:47,960 Speaker 4: lot of guys you know, getting penalties, the offensive line 1697 01:25:48,040 --> 01:25:51,720 Speaker 4: not as sharp and getting allowing more pressure quicker on 1698 01:25:52,200 --> 01:25:52,880 Speaker 4: Josh Allen. 1699 01:25:53,400 --> 01:25:53,559 Speaker 3: Uh. 1700 01:25:54,600 --> 01:25:56,960 Speaker 4: You know, it just it manifests itself in the ripple 1701 01:25:56,960 --> 01:26:01,200 Speaker 4: effects or you know, you can call it whatever you want. 1702 01:26:02,760 --> 01:26:05,600 Speaker 4: But the slow start, I think I think one of 1703 01:26:05,600 --> 01:26:07,320 Speaker 4: the things too, is you get off to a slow 1704 01:26:07,360 --> 01:26:10,120 Speaker 4: start and then you feel like you've never gotten started, 1705 01:26:10,479 --> 01:26:13,519 Speaker 4: so you're you're always stuck in that first gear of 1706 01:26:13,560 --> 01:26:15,240 Speaker 4: the game where you're trying to like, all right, let's 1707 01:26:15,960 --> 01:26:17,559 Speaker 4: you know, you don't even know enough about what you 1708 01:26:17,600 --> 01:26:21,320 Speaker 4: can do in this game. Yeah, because you've dropped passes 1709 01:26:21,360 --> 01:26:22,760 Speaker 4: so far. You can't even get on the field. You 1710 01:26:22,760 --> 01:26:26,360 Speaker 4: can't stay on the field. So the game got away 1711 01:26:26,360 --> 01:26:28,479 Speaker 4: from them. There's just no question about it. And I 1712 01:26:28,479 --> 01:26:32,080 Speaker 4: think that's, you know, kind of the frustrating part about 1713 01:26:32,120 --> 01:26:32,599 Speaker 4: the whole thing. 1714 01:26:33,160 --> 01:26:35,479 Speaker 2: Break time for us here some final thoughts on the 1715 01:26:35,479 --> 01:26:36,040 Speaker 2: tweets sheet. 1716 01:26:36,040 --> 01:26:38,120 Speaker 1: When we return here on one Bills Live presented by 1717 01:26:38,160 --> 01:26:40,120 Speaker 1: Collida Health, it's Buffalo Bills Radio. 1718 01:26:55,840 --> 01:26:56,200 Speaker 8: All right. 1719 01:26:56,320 --> 01:26:59,799 Speaker 1: Ticketmaster is the official ticket partner of the Buffalo Bills. 1720 01:27:00,840 --> 01:27:04,920 Speaker 1: So Buffalo Bills Season to Sorry, I got locked out 1721 01:27:04,920 --> 01:27:07,040 Speaker 1: of my system. I don't have the sponsorship read in 1722 01:27:07,040 --> 01:27:09,720 Speaker 1: front of me, So what do you want me to do? 1723 01:27:10,200 --> 01:27:13,000 Speaker 2: I did my best on that. I don't have it 1724 01:27:13,000 --> 01:27:18,040 Speaker 2: committed to memory, which which yeah. They are the presenting 1725 01:27:18,080 --> 01:27:20,799 Speaker 2: sponsor of the twenty twenty three season. 1726 01:27:20,920 --> 01:27:24,120 Speaker 4: So ticket Masters the official ticket marketplace of the NFL. 1727 01:27:24,200 --> 01:27:27,000 Speaker 2: There you go, so gotcha. That was untimely. 1728 01:27:27,080 --> 01:27:29,720 Speaker 1: My screen goes black as we're coming back and I 1729 01:27:29,720 --> 01:27:31,800 Speaker 1: have to log it back in. Couldn't do it fast enough. 1730 01:27:32,439 --> 01:27:34,720 Speaker 1: Stuff happens here on the show each and every day. 1731 01:27:34,720 --> 01:27:36,960 Speaker 1: We're usually able to hide most of it from everyone. 1732 01:27:37,040 --> 01:27:40,800 Speaker 1: But not in that instance, in any way, shape. 1733 01:27:40,520 --> 01:27:43,040 Speaker 4: Or form, I don't know the fragility of. 1734 01:27:43,200 --> 01:27:48,880 Speaker 1: I was completely hosed, unequivocally hosed. Some final thoughts on 1735 01:27:48,880 --> 01:27:51,040 Speaker 1: the tweet, sheeet I can bring that to you. Mark says, 1736 01:27:51,120 --> 01:27:54,080 Speaker 1: we have an extra third round pick, so we'll have 1737 01:27:54,120 --> 01:27:57,080 Speaker 1: to use it to acquire help this year. Unfortunately, those 1738 01:27:57,080 --> 01:27:59,479 Speaker 1: injuries are long term. Must be willing to part with 1739 01:27:59,520 --> 01:28:03,400 Speaker 1: a third so the Bills currently have a third round pick. 1740 01:28:03,439 --> 01:28:07,320 Speaker 1: They're expected to get another in the compensatory pool by 1741 01:28:07,360 --> 01:28:10,120 Speaker 1: losing Tremaine Edmonds in free agency. 1742 01:28:10,360 --> 01:28:13,880 Speaker 2: That's a you may be getting a pretty darn good player. 1743 01:28:13,640 --> 01:28:16,160 Speaker 4: If you're doing that, Yeah, for sure. 1744 01:28:17,520 --> 01:28:18,880 Speaker 2: I don't think you have to do it now. 1745 01:28:19,920 --> 01:28:21,880 Speaker 1: I would see how the next two games play out 1746 01:28:21,920 --> 01:28:25,280 Speaker 1: with the people you have in reserve already. Brandon Bean 1747 01:28:25,320 --> 01:28:29,360 Speaker 1: built this roster with talented, proven depth. Now it's time 1748 01:28:29,400 --> 01:28:32,320 Speaker 1: for that depth to step to the forefront, and let's 1749 01:28:32,320 --> 01:28:34,519 Speaker 1: see what it can do here. In these next two games, 1750 01:28:34,640 --> 01:28:36,639 Speaker 1: you may find that you don't need to do anything, 1751 01:28:37,000 --> 01:28:38,720 Speaker 1: and now you have an extra third round pick to 1752 01:28:38,840 --> 01:28:42,400 Speaker 1: utilize in the spring to fortify your roster for twenty 1753 01:28:42,400 --> 01:28:46,479 Speaker 1: twenty four. So I think Steve's in agreement with me 1754 01:28:46,520 --> 01:28:50,000 Speaker 1: on this. Just hang out. Let the next two weeks 1755 01:28:50,040 --> 01:28:52,320 Speaker 1: play out. See if the players that you're plugging in 1756 01:28:52,520 --> 01:28:56,680 Speaker 1: who know this system, backwards and forwards, actually demonstrate improvement 1757 01:28:57,160 --> 01:29:00,320 Speaker 1: over the next two weeks. From after being thrust in 1758 01:29:01,000 --> 01:29:04,759 Speaker 1: unceremoniously last week into the lineup, Ron on the tweets 1759 01:29:04,760 --> 01:29:08,000 Speaker 1: sheet says, there isn't There aren't many options other than 1760 01:29:08,280 --> 01:29:10,800 Speaker 1: to trust those on the roster. I actually believe the 1761 01:29:10,800 --> 01:29:13,519 Speaker 1: linebacker won't be as much as a disaster as many believe. 1762 01:29:13,920 --> 01:29:15,880 Speaker 1: As long as the D line continues to play well, 1763 01:29:15,920 --> 01:29:19,040 Speaker 1: it'll keep the linebackers clean and able to run and 1764 01:29:19,080 --> 01:29:22,799 Speaker 1: make plays. And then finally, Jeff says, make a trade 1765 01:29:22,800 --> 01:29:25,360 Speaker 1: for a good corner. You'll need him next season as well. 1766 01:29:25,840 --> 01:29:28,519 Speaker 1: With Trey out of the equation, We'll have to see 1767 01:29:28,520 --> 01:29:31,000 Speaker 1: what the equation is, but I think that's a little 1768 01:29:31,000 --> 01:29:31,679 Speaker 1: tough to project. 1769 01:29:31,760 --> 01:29:32,200 Speaker 2: Right now. 1770 01:29:32,479 --> 01:29:34,880 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a little premature to be thinking about next year. 1771 01:29:34,920 --> 01:29:40,960 Speaker 4: Next year, So let's let's just let's worry about the 1772 01:29:41,000 --> 01:29:45,160 Speaker 4: giants right now, and then we'll think about everything else 1773 01:29:45,200 --> 01:29:47,200 Speaker 4: that comes. You're gonna have some guys this. We don't 1774 01:29:47,200 --> 01:29:48,920 Speaker 4: know what this is gonna look like yet. We'll find out. 1775 01:29:49,160 --> 01:29:51,880 Speaker 1: We'll have comment from Sean McDermott to bring to you 1776 01:29:51,920 --> 01:30:07,920 Speaker 1: tomorrow Wednesday show. We'll see it one
