Rewind Toshiba, the official 36 00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:41,360 Speaker 2: copier company of the Buffalo Bills, and it was like 37 00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:43,680 Speaker 2: you and your friends were in the escape room and 38 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:47,720 Speaker 2: time was running out. The Bills literally escaped high Mark 39 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:51,960 Speaker 2: Stadium with a fourteen to nine victory. To tell you 40 00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:54,760 Speaker 2: and to paint a picture as to just how fortunate 41 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 2: the Buffalo Bills were, we have to thank optistats for 42 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 2: this one, which was I believe found by our good 43 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:05,880 Speaker 2: friend Jeff Colton act in the control room. The Giants 44 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:11,440 Speaker 2: are the only NFL team, the only NFL team in 45 00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:15,640 Speaker 2: the Super Bowl era to have more rushing yards, more 46 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:20,720 Speaker 2: passing yards, fewer interceptions thrown, fewer fumbles lost, and fewer 47 00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:26,200 Speaker 2: missfield goals than their opponent and still lose teams had 48 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:31,840 Speaker 2: been one hundred thirty four and oh in the Super 49 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,360 Speaker 2: Bowl era. When doing all of that in a game, 50 00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 2: regular season and postseason, the Bills were fortunate with a 51 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:49,840 Speaker 2: capital fortunat. 52 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:47,200 Speaker 7: What did you just spell there? 53 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:48,560 Speaker 2: I didn't fortunate other. 54 00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:54,760 Speaker 7: Unbelievable, tough, gritty win. But man was it ugly and 55 00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:57,200 Speaker 7: it was excruciating for Bills fans. Man, it was painful 56 00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:01,920 Speaker 7: to watch, and a lot of thoughts about this game 57 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:05,120 Speaker 7: flying around because you know, people are just frustrated as 58 00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,920 Speaker 7: all get out about the inability to score fourteen, you know, 59 00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:11,240 Speaker 7: more than fourteen points against a defense that was decimated 60 00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 7: like the Giants were in particularly an offense that was 61 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,840 Speaker 7: decimated like the Giants were. The Giants found a way 62 00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:19,159 Speaker 7: to win the time of possession. And I haven't even 63 00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:21,680 Speaker 7: let me look at what that total was. It was 64 00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:24,880 Speaker 7: twenty one. As the game went on and the Bills 65 00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:26,760 Speaker 7: got into that second half, they entered the fourth quarter 66 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:30,120 Speaker 7: the Bills down six nothing. It was you you g 67 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:34,000 Speaker 7: l y ugly, and they found a way to score 68 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:38,720 Speaker 7: twice in the fourth quarter and win this game. And man, 69 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,520 Speaker 7: old man, you talk about an escape, it was, There's 70 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:44,279 Speaker 7: no question about it. Giants did a masterful job moving 71 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:47,560 Speaker 7: Tyrod around. They knew Tyrod never turns it over. They 72 00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:50,920 Speaker 7: moved the pocket around. The Bills pass rush was getting 73 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 7: home early, and the Giants said, listen, we ain't doing 74 00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,919 Speaker 7: that anymore. The balls coming out, and we're moving the 75 00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:58,600 Speaker 7: pocket and getting Tyrod out of there. Tyrod scrambled a 76 00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:01,560 Speaker 7: couple of times. Really did nice job. I mean, Bills 77 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:05,279 Speaker 7: fans know it well. But this game, if you flip 78 00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:08,360 Speaker 7: the coin and put the Bills where the Giants are 79 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:11,400 Speaker 7: and the Giants where the Bills are, this had drought 80 00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,599 Speaker 7: written all over it. This is exactly what the Bills 81 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:16,440 Speaker 7: kind of did throughout their years. 82 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:16,880 Speaker 9: As you. 83 00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:21,039 Speaker 2: Yeah, the only difference is they lose the game, right exactly. 84 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:23,560 Speaker 7: The Bills are the Giants and the Giants are the Bills. 85 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,960 Speaker 7: For seventeen years we lived in that world, and the 86 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:31,240 Speaker 7: Bills come out make enough plays. Josh makes a one 87 00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:34,160 Speaker 7: of a kind throw to Quentin Morris for a touchdown 88 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 7: to take the lead. Unbelievable. Game, and you just kind 89 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:43,440 Speaker 7: of shrugged your shoulders, like wow, how did that happen? 90 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:44,840 Speaker 7: And you move on. You got to go play the 91 00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,559 Speaker 7: Patriots next week at one o'clock. People are going losing 92 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:50,920 Speaker 7: their minds over the offensive play calling. And I got 93 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:53,920 Speaker 7: the All twenty two comes out tomorrow. I want to 94 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:57,560 Speaker 7: go back and look because Josh was like an old 95 00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:59,920 Speaker 7: love song, I only have eyes for you, Steph Diggs. 96 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,000 Speaker 7: I mean he was He threw it twelve out of 97 00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:04,440 Speaker 7: the eighteen targets in the first half word of digs. 98 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:07,640 Speaker 2: Twelve of them, and he was double teamed the entire game. 99 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 7: And still Diggs was running open. So yeah, you'd love 100 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,400 Speaker 7: to have those targets the target shares spread out a 101 00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:20,360 Speaker 7: little bit, have somebody in the offense and merge. But 102 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,880 Speaker 7: I'm telling you, and there were flashes where the running 103 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:27,920 Speaker 7: game was good, even with you know, James Cook had 104 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:31,560 Speaker 7: snapped off of some really nice runs, no question about it. 105 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:36,880 Speaker 7: Latavious Murray snapped off some really good runs, no doubt 106 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:41,360 Speaker 7: about it. Murray had twelve for forty five, Cook, fourteen 107 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,359 Speaker 7: for seventy one, Cook five point one per carry with 108 00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:46,400 Speaker 7: a long of fourteen. I mean, there were times when 109 00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:52,839 Speaker 7: they looked really good. Wow. Man, it was exhausting and 110 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:56,400 Speaker 7: excruciating to watch that win. And that's where that's the 111 00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:58,880 Speaker 7: whorld you live in when you go with he couldn't 112 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:02,200 Speaker 7: they couldn't convert on third down? Goodness great? 113 00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:04,920 Speaker 2: It one for five in the first half on third down. 114 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:06,000 Speaker 7: It's hard to watch. 115 00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:09,920 Speaker 2: And the Giants I think were like fifty percent and 116 00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:13,320 Speaker 2: they finished ten of nineteen on third down. The Bills 117 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:15,880 Speaker 2: finished fifty percent two. When all is said and done, 118 00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:18,160 Speaker 2: they actually went four for four on third down on 119 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:21,200 Speaker 2: that seventeen play, eighty nine yards scoring drive that took 120 00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:24,160 Speaker 2: ten minutes off the clock. The reason why each team 121 00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:26,640 Speaker 2: barely had any possessions in the second half was largely 122 00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:29,560 Speaker 2: because of that drive and a twelve play seventy five 123 00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:33,080 Speaker 2: yard drive by the Bills on their second touchdown drive. 124 00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:36,000 Speaker 2: So this game was one and lost in the red zone. 125 00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:39,200 Speaker 2: I mean, Buffalo's defense was masterful in the red zone. 126 00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:41,400 Speaker 2: They gave up yards between the twenties, but when they 127 00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:43,560 Speaker 2: were backed up in the red zone, they were lights 128 00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:46,480 Speaker 2: out getting stops. Granted there were a couple penalties in there, 129 00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:48,840 Speaker 2: but you didn't let them score. They go zero for 130 00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:51,160 Speaker 2: five in the red zone yesterday the Giants, and it's 131 00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:53,320 Speaker 2: why they lost the football game, because the Bills go 132 00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:55,960 Speaker 2: two for two. They only score two touchdowns, but it's 133 00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:58,040 Speaker 2: enough to win the football game even with two missfield 134 00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:01,560 Speaker 2: goals on top of it. So you know, the Giants 135 00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:06,600 Speaker 2: they're kicking themselves today right that. It was an abomination 136 00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:08,760 Speaker 2: of clock management at the end of the first half. 137 00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:12,559 Speaker 2: Chirod Taylor took the blame Ford after the game because 138 00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:15,440 Speaker 2: he apparently checked out of a pass play with thirteen 139 00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:19,640 Speaker 2: seconds left to a run down on the one yard line. Well, 140 00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:22,040 Speaker 2: they had lost two yards on the previous carry, so 141 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:25,280 Speaker 2: on the second two or three yard line, he calls 142 00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:29,080 Speaker 2: a run play with thirteen seconds left, and they're nonchalant 143 00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:31,840 Speaker 2: in the thing. First of all, Barkley gets stopped at 144 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:34,800 Speaker 2: the line of scrimmage and then the defenders drive him back. 145 00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:38,600 Speaker 2: The refs blow the whistle late for forward progress. There's 146 00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:41,200 Speaker 2: a pile up and they're not letting him up anytime soon. 147 00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:42,680 Speaker 2: Why are you gonna hurry there? 148 00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:44,240 Speaker 7: There's no timeouts left. 149 00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:46,520 Speaker 2: There is no way for the Giants to stop to climb. 150 00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:49,520 Speaker 7: The Bills are taking their time trying to untangle get up. 151 00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:51,600 Speaker 7: But the last job by Ben for a nice job 152 00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:54,280 Speaker 7: by Dodson. They finally hop through. It's too late, But 153 00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:55,160 Speaker 7: I mean. 154 00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:59,000 Speaker 2: Hey, if you watch that play, the lack of urgency 155 00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:02,760 Speaker 2: by the Giants on offense is stunning. There are eleven 156 00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:06,600 Speaker 2: players on that field. None of them are signaling, hey, 157 00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:08,280 Speaker 2: hurry up. We gotta get up on the line and 158 00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:10,480 Speaker 2: spike it here so we could kick a field goal 159 00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:13,960 Speaker 2: before the half is over and you get nothing. So 160 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:18,439 Speaker 2: here's why it's important. It's fourteen twelve, it's fourteen nine 161 00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:21,480 Speaker 2: late in the game. It's fourteen to nine, not fourteen. 162 00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:23,040 Speaker 2: And you have the ball with a minute and a 163 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:25,679 Speaker 2: half left. It could be fourteen twelve. You're kicking a 164 00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:27,960 Speaker 2: field goal with the big leg of Graham Gono to 165 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,800 Speaker 2: win the game. Yeah, fifteen fourteen, you only need a 166 00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:31,320 Speaker 2: field goal. 167 00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:33,679 Speaker 7: Dave Ball's head was purple after that play. It was 168 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:35,840 Speaker 7: a total It looked like a grape. Oh my gosh. 169 00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:37,320 Speaker 7: I feel and I felt bad for him. I got 170 00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:38,800 Speaker 7: the guy's a friend of mine. I feel bad for 171 00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:41,160 Speaker 7: him in that situation. He's got this. Guys, it's not 172 00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:45,240 Speaker 7: it's not mental gymnastics. You're getting through. You gotta know now, 173 00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:49,920 Speaker 7: Tyrod blows it when he runs the ball, I'll say this, 174 00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:52,160 Speaker 7: you give it to Saquon Barkley, expect, all right, that 175 00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:56,760 Speaker 7: guy's gonna get in. Well he doesn't, he doesn't, and 176 00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,920 Speaker 7: that you got it right, then Tyrod's gotta be sc 177 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:03,559 Speaker 7: ream and then going and that offensive lineman go. Nobody's doing. 178 00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:07,960 Speaker 7: Brain cramp, total, total nonchalant. Whether they thought they had 179 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,760 Speaker 7: a timeout or whatever, it's no excuse for it. And 180 00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:13,680 Speaker 7: that really that really ends up giving them a chance, 181 00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:15,160 Speaker 7: cost him a chance to win the game at the 182 00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:17,240 Speaker 7: end of it the way they think. Now, you know, 183 00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:19,840 Speaker 7: things might have played out differently if it's different score 184 00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:22,680 Speaker 7: and all that, but man, oh man in a vacuum. 185 00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:26,840 Speaker 7: That is a total brain cramp. And the Bills escaped. 186 00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:30,480 Speaker 7: Great job defensively. They gave up nine points on the night. Defensively, 187 00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:33,079 Speaker 7: the only the only dart you can throw at the 188 00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:35,839 Speaker 7: defensive effort of the Bills is they couldn't get them 189 00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:39,679 Speaker 7: off the field on third down. They finally did late, 190 00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:42,400 Speaker 7: but even so late in the game, they couldn't get 191 00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:45,359 Speaker 7: them stopped. They they could start playing that soft coverage 192 00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:48,920 Speaker 7: in that last drive, and they they kept getting the 193 00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:51,280 Speaker 7: kept getting the out route, the out route, the out route, 194 00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:53,800 Speaker 7: the out route, the out route, and they kept hitting it. 195 00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:57,200 Speaker 7: They were to stop the clip right and it's and 196 00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:59,720 Speaker 7: it's like here we go. It's first and goal on 197 00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:05,000 Speaker 7: the wall one. You know. So the final play too, 198 00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:07,480 Speaker 7: I've been hearing a lot about that. I would get 199 00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:13,000 Speaker 7: your thoughts, Brownie, because we had this conversation the the 200 00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:17,440 Speaker 7: pass interference on kyer Elam in the end zone, the 201 00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:19,640 Speaker 7: play before that set up the first and goal on 202 00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:21,880 Speaker 7: the on the one yard line. Yeah, it was egregious. 203 00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:25,400 Speaker 7: He did it. It should have been holding, not pass interference. 204 00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:27,800 Speaker 7: But the play they called pass interference. It was in 205 00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:29,840 Speaker 7: the end zone. Instead of holding, it would have been 206 00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:32,600 Speaker 7: a five yard penalty instead of first and goal at 207 00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:35,400 Speaker 7: the one. But they called it pass interference, and it 208 00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:37,240 Speaker 7: was egregious. He was holding them, but it was before 209 00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:39,360 Speaker 7: the ball was thrown and all that you pointed out. 210 00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:41,080 Speaker 7: Instead of passing interference, it should have been holding, but 211 00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:42,800 Speaker 7: they called it pass interference. Now it's first and goal 212 00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:45,640 Speaker 7: on the one, and it was egregious. Even though they 213 00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:50,360 Speaker 7: called the wrong penalty. The next play on ty on 214 00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:54,160 Speaker 7: Taron Johnson, it wasn't nearly as bad as the kyer 215 00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:56,120 Speaker 7: Elm penalty. So the officials going on. That wasn't that 216 00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:59,679 Speaker 7: bad and in no way, shape or form in my mind, 217 00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:03,440 Speaker 7: did it really affect Waller's ability to catch That Ball's 218 00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:08,120 Speaker 7: a bad throw, high throw Taron Johnson didn't prevent because 219 00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:10,600 Speaker 7: of the holding him getting up after there's a bad 220 00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:13,240 Speaker 7: high throw, he's not catching it. So that play was 221 00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:16,280 Speaker 7: done from the start. Great play by Terreon Johnson, but 222 00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:21,520 Speaker 7: it is a tactic defensively that you'll see around the league. 223 00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:25,640 Speaker 7: You if it's a none timed down, they are not scoring. 224 00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:28,360 Speaker 7: If it looks like you're gonna get beat, tackle the guy, 225 00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:31,680 Speaker 7: hold him, grab him, play over the edge, force the 226 00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:34,000 Speaker 7: official to make the call. And in this case they 227 00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:38,199 Speaker 7: just called it. And this penalty by Taryn was in 228 00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:41,439 Speaker 7: nowhere near egregious as the one they just called. So 229 00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:43,959 Speaker 7: they're like, I ain't call him that. That's a tactic. 230 00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:47,000 Speaker 7: You'll hear coaches during the week saying, listen, don't let 231 00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:50,320 Speaker 7: him score. We'll take a first in goal on the 232 00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:53,600 Speaker 7: goal line. They're not gonna call penalty penalty, penalty, penalty penalty. 233 00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:56,040 Speaker 7: We'll take our chances, but if they score, it's over. 234 00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:59,559 Speaker 7: So you can't let him score no matter what. That's 235 00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:02,920 Speaker 7: a tack. It's a coaching point during the week and 236 00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:06,679 Speaker 7: in the situational football that you practice. So the Bills 237 00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:08,800 Speaker 7: that you gotta know that, and the Giants have to 238 00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:12,640 Speaker 7: know that too. The Giants know they're not gonna keep 239 00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:15,559 Speaker 7: getting these calls play after play after play. You gotta 240 00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:19,600 Speaker 7: come away and win it. They didn't do it. And 241 00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:22,800 Speaker 7: that play by Arreen Johnson was excellent, right, and you 242 00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:25,160 Speaker 7: and I, it's a nitpick if you call it. Certainly 243 00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:27,880 Speaker 7: he's got the jersey pulled away and in a vacuum. Okay, 244 00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:30,599 Speaker 7: but man, they're not gonna call that twice in a 245 00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:33,040 Speaker 7: row for a lesser penalty than the first one. 246 00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:35,120 Speaker 2: And we thought it was iland was actually Terrell Bernard 247 00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:37,959 Speaker 2: that was called on the pass interference call. 248 00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:41,000 Speaker 7: Right, Terrell Bernard's penalty right before that on the on 249 00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:43,240 Speaker 7: the and that and you're as you pointed out Brown, 250 00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:46,120 Speaker 7: it should have been holding, not pass interference. 251 00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:48,720 Speaker 2: So that's at the nine. It's half the distance, so 252 00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:50,599 Speaker 2: the ball's on the four and a half yard. 253 00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:52,320 Speaker 7: Line, and that would have been an untimed down. 254 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:56,360 Speaker 2: Right, But it's a big call calling it p I 255 00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:59,040 Speaker 2: instead of defensive holding. I thought it should have been 256 00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:02,640 Speaker 2: defensive holding because the holding clearly happened twice before the 257 00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:04,880 Speaker 2: ball was even in the air, So it's not p 258 00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:07,400 Speaker 2: I if the ball hasn't been thrown yet. To me, 259 00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:09,880 Speaker 2: it's defensive holding. So it's a fresh set of downs. 260 00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:12,520 Speaker 2: But it's only a five yard penalty or in this case, 261 00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:14,040 Speaker 2: half the distance to the goal that goes to the 262 00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:15,440 Speaker 2: four and a half yard line. It's not first and 263 00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:16,600 Speaker 2: goal on the want what do you take? 264 00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:18,560 Speaker 7: What do you take away from the feet getting tangled 265 00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:20,080 Speaker 7: early in the game on two thirty. 266 00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:22,280 Speaker 2: You gotta call that right, See, I don't care if 267 00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:24,800 Speaker 2: it's incidental contact. You can't do that to a receiver 268 00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:27,000 Speaker 2: down the field. You're telling them, okay, it's okay to. 269 00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:31,440 Speaker 7: Trip the guy, right, because if if a dB perfect twice, 270 00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:34,360 Speaker 7: if they perfect the technique of making it look like 271 00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:36,120 Speaker 7: incidental contact and tripping the guy. 272 00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,440 Speaker 2: Up, that's give him a flat tire. Step on his. 273 00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:39,360 Speaker 7: Heel, give him a flat tire. 274 00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:41,240 Speaker 2: Oh sorry, I didn't mean to try, that's right. 275 00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:43,560 Speaker 7: And if you if you look like you know, and 276 00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:46,560 Speaker 7: if you it's possible to do, if you've got the 277 00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:49,160 Speaker 7: wheels to keep up with the receiver, look back for 278 00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:50,240 Speaker 7: the ball and trip the guy. 279 00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:55,480 Speaker 2: Yep, Man, that's oh sorry, I didn't see. 280 00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:56,240 Speaker 7: Yeah, I don't know. 281 00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:58,360 Speaker 2: I have a got to throw the flag there, because 282 00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:00,080 Speaker 2: I don't care if it's you didn't mean to do 283 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:03,680 Speaker 2: do it. You're interfering with a receiver on his route 284 00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:06,520 Speaker 2: to catch a football, right, you got to throw the 285 00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:10,000 Speaker 2: flag there. I was very unimpressed with Trey Blakes because. 286 00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:12,000 Speaker 7: We haven't had this conversation before about what it is 287 00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:15,720 Speaker 7: that the officials are looking for if if indeed they're 288 00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:17,960 Speaker 7: saying that if it's incidental contact, and I go, man, 289 00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:20,560 Speaker 7: I'd be incidental contacting those guys to the ground all 290 00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:20,880 Speaker 7: the time. 291 00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:23,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, it was bad. Gave Davis would have been wide 292 00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:27,120 Speaker 2: open on the first one. Still a surefield was wide 293 00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:29,640 Speaker 2: open on the second one or about to be wide Yeah. 294 00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:32,280 Speaker 7: So it's you know, there are there and listen, we 295 00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:34,040 Speaker 7: can go round around with. There are always calls like 296 00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:35,520 Speaker 7: this in every game. So I'm you know, I don't 297 00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:37,720 Speaker 7: want to go down this slippery slope because you know, 298 00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:42,960 Speaker 7: just because of this last play the Giants, Yeah, they 299 00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:45,720 Speaker 7: it was a bad throat Waller in my opinion, was 300 00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:47,320 Speaker 7: not going to catch the pass anyway. It was too 301 00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:48,640 Speaker 7: high and it was too far back in the end 302 00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:50,840 Speaker 7: zone for him, it wasn't wasn't a good throw. So 303 00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:53,400 Speaker 7: that all in all, the Bills escape. It was an 304 00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:55,520 Speaker 7: ugly win, and I know Bills fans feel it. It's 305 00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:58,960 Speaker 7: it was excruciating to watch that excruciating to watch it, 306 00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:01,320 Speaker 7: but the Bills come out with a win. Moving on 307 00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:04,680 Speaker 7: to the New England Patriots in New England one o'clock game, 308 00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:07,320 Speaker 7: last one o'clock game of two that are remaining in 309 00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:10,960 Speaker 7: the entire season. We'll see how it goes. Bill's got 310 00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:12,760 Speaker 7: some stuff to clean up. As a coaching staff, I 311 00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:14,320 Speaker 7: think you got to feel like, all right, this is 312 00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:17,280 Speaker 7: a it's a great win because not only do you win, 313 00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:21,120 Speaker 7: but you win ugly when you don't play your best 314 00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:27,840 Speaker 7: and you grind out this this you know, this ugly victory, 315 00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:30,480 Speaker 7: and your team's gotta think, guys, we got to play better, man. 316 00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:32,640 Speaker 7: Your players have got to say, hey, we got to practice, 317 00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:34,360 Speaker 7: we got to really get on get on it, you know. 318 00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:37,000 Speaker 7: So it's it's motivating at the same time as you 319 00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:40,040 Speaker 7: get the benefit of the win. So uh man, omn 320 00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:44,200 Speaker 7: tough for tough game for Bills fans to say, we've 321 00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:47,360 Speaker 7: been I've been listening to the you know to the radio, 322 00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:50,840 Speaker 7: so gr our radio station here on the way in 323 00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:54,120 Speaker 7: and man o, man, what a game? 324 00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:57,360 Speaker 2: What a game?

Yeah, I mean, I know people are 331 00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:19,320 Speaker 2: gonna have their gripes. The offense was sleepwalking through the 332 00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:22,399 Speaker 2: first half of the second straight week. Things were not 333 00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:26,480 Speaker 2: clicking again after a week that was supposedly dedicated to 334 00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:28,880 Speaker 2: getting it to click into gears sooner rather than later, 335 00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:35,400 Speaker 2: and the game became a slog offensively. And everybody's got 336 00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:38,280 Speaker 2: their theories as to why that was the case. I 337 00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:41,119 Speaker 2: think lack of execution was a big part of it. 338 00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:45,600 Speaker 2: You know, Gabe Davis does not put the ball on 339 00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:50,399 Speaker 2: his outside arm after making a first down, fumbles the ball, 340 00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:56,040 Speaker 2: it's a turnover, tip pass, goes for a pick. Those 341 00:17:56,080 --> 00:18:00,240 Speaker 2: things happened, But even at the end of the game, 342 00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:03,080 Speaker 2: Josh doesn't throw a great ball on that third down, 343 00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:04,879 Speaker 2: they had to convert to hold onto the ball and 344 00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:08,200 Speaker 2: salt the clock away. Dawson Knox can't adjust his body 345 00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:11,159 Speaker 2: to a low throw to make the catch, and you know, 346 00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:15,760 Speaker 2: the game gets extended and they almost run into a 347 00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:20,120 Speaker 2: situation where they blow it at the end. So there 348 00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:22,960 Speaker 2: were execution issues again last night. Two missed field goals. 349 00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:25,119 Speaker 2: Tyler Bass had missed a field goal all season. He 350 00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:28,000 Speaker 2: misses two. The first one it looked like his timing 351 00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:30,520 Speaker 2: was off. It looked like he jumped before the snap, 352 00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:33,560 Speaker 2: so the timing on his approach was all off. He 353 00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:35,359 Speaker 2: pushed both of them wide, right, I believe if I 354 00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:42,720 Speaker 2: remember right. So, yeah, it's it's a tough it's a 355 00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:44,919 Speaker 2: tough way to watch a football game. I'll be the 356 00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:48,480 Speaker 2: first to agree with people on that. But in this league, 357 00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:52,240 Speaker 2: especially with all the stuff that happened this weekend, you 358 00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:54,760 Speaker 2: take it and you move on. You got the win. 359 00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:58,879 Speaker 2: Al Davis never said it better just win, baby, Dunno, 360 00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:01,359 Speaker 2: us have to be pretty. Just get the win. But 361 00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:03,359 Speaker 2: let's go to the phones at eight oh three five 362 00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:06,040 Speaker 2: point fifty one, eight eight eight five fifty two five 363 00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:08,680 Speaker 2: fifty the number to get on board, and we lead 364 00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:11,119 Speaker 2: off with Michael down in Atlanta. What do you got 365 00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:13,480 Speaker 2: for us, Michael, I've. 366 00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:16,320 Speaker 10: Got a couple of things. The first thing is just 367 00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:19,960 Speaker 10: wondering if you guys think that that throw from Josh, 368 00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:22,280 Speaker 10: knowing that he you know, injured his shoulder, if that 369 00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:24,800 Speaker 10: could have possibly affected that throat to Knox. 370 00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:29,040 Speaker 7: Don't I would doubt it. I don't think so. It 371 00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:32,080 Speaker 7: certainly didn't affect. I think it was after that that 372 00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:34,960 Speaker 7: he threw the throw to Morris too, So I'm thinking 373 00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:39,520 Speaker 7: probably not. I think, okay, I think we've seen Josh 374 00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:42,600 Speaker 7: struggle with touch throws more than he struggles with the 375 00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:44,600 Speaker 7: difficult throws, you know what I mean. So I think 376 00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:47,880 Speaker 7: that's probably what it was. He just didn't get enough 377 00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:49,840 Speaker 7: on that throw out to Dawson Knox, and I think 378 00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:51,879 Speaker 7: he was he was kind of aiming it rather than 379 00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:53,280 Speaker 7: just letting it rip, you know what I mean? 380 00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:56,240 Speaker 10: Right right, So a couple of things I want to 381 00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:59,720 Speaker 10: talk about. As far as the offensive coordinator, I think 382 00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:01,959 Speaker 10: he's doing a pretty good job. I mean again, I 383 00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:04,520 Speaker 10: think it was going back to the game in London. 384 00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:07,000 Speaker 10: I thought that was an absolute horrible decision to fly 385 00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:10,000 Speaker 10: it on Friday. You know, I know these guys are 386 00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:11,480 Speaker 10: pro athletes, but they're still humans. 387 00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:11,720 Speaker 4: Right. 388 00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:14,360 Speaker 10: That was a horrible decision and the timing of everybody 389 00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:16,800 Speaker 10: was slightly off and that could have been just a 390 00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:20,280 Speaker 10: contributing factor. And of course you know that wasn't Dorseery's fault, 391 00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:23,840 Speaker 10: that there wasn't proper execution. And this this last game, 392 00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:26,800 Speaker 10: you know, two drives were killed because of tripping, right, 393 00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:28,800 Speaker 10: I mean, what happens on those drives if they if 394 00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:31,160 Speaker 10: they get the flag throne. Plus there was some other 395 00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:33,879 Speaker 10: non calls that Digs was complaining about some others that 396 00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:37,880 Speaker 10: were non calls, you know, for interference. But again and 397 00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:41,720 Speaker 10: you know, uh uh, we had Gabe Davis dropped that 398 00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:43,800 Speaker 10: you know, fumble that ball. But again I don't put 399 00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:45,440 Speaker 10: on the doors set. But here's the question I want 400 00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:47,760 Speaker 10: to go especially to you, Steve, because you played on 401 00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:51,440 Speaker 10: those Super Bowl teams. We had a balance, you know, Yes, 402 00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:54,200 Speaker 10: it was most it was a lot of passing yards 403 00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:56,960 Speaker 10: from from Kelly, you know, great quarterback, but we also 404 00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:59,480 Speaker 10: had During Thomas, so we had we had that rushing threat, 405 00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:02,040 Speaker 10: you know, and of course his combined yards rushing and 406 00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:05,679 Speaker 10: receiving was it was a huge threat. He balanced that. 407 00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:09,200 Speaker 10: Marcher brod have balanced all that out, right, So I 408 00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:12,800 Speaker 10: don't I'm hearing commentary this morning on WGR about oh 409 00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:14,800 Speaker 10: I forget the run, forget the run, let's just pass 410 00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:17,880 Speaker 10: the ball. Well, you know, four Super Bowls in a row, right, 411 00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:22,280 Speaker 10: because of great running attack and also great passing. Do 412 00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:25,880 Speaker 10: guys like Dorsey ever go back and look at at 413 00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:29,800 Speaker 10: tapes from you know, successful eras of that team, like 414 00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:31,480 Speaker 10: you know, for Dorsche to go back and look at 415 00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:34,399 Speaker 10: the tapes, Uh, some of the coaching from Marcher bro 416 00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:37,040 Speaker 10: to some of the play calling because he's got similar talent. 417 00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:40,120 Speaker 10: He's got a lot of great receivers, he's got he's 418 00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:42,560 Speaker 10: got a great running back and Cook. Is that something 419 00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:45,040 Speaker 10: that would ever be considered by by Dorsey or the 420 00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:47,160 Speaker 10: team that let's look at some of the successes see 421 00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:48,400 Speaker 10: how we can implement some of that. 422 00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:51,119 Speaker 7: Well, it's a good answer. It's a good question, Michael. 423 00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:53,679 Speaker 7: But I would the answer be yes, absolutely. And the 424 00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:56,639 Speaker 7: thing about it is you got to remember these guys, 425 00:21:56,680 --> 00:22:01,200 Speaker 7: all of them like Brian Dabole, Ken Dorsey, Kyle Shanahan, 426 00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:07,040 Speaker 7: Sean McVay, they've all been steeped in history of the 427 00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:09,000 Speaker 7: league as they came up through the ranks. And also 428 00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:12,520 Speaker 7: in learning from the people who taught them, so it 429 00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:16,639 Speaker 7: all gets passed down and the way you attack it 430 00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:19,520 Speaker 7: is almost universal. You take what your players and what 431 00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:22,679 Speaker 7: they do best and apply it to the matchup you 432 00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:25,359 Speaker 7: have that week against what the other team does well 433 00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:27,119 Speaker 7: on the other side of the ball on their defense. 434 00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:31,680 Speaker 7: So they're steeped in what the answer should be to 435 00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:34,639 Speaker 7: what another team does well. Now, certainly you get some 436 00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:38,080 Speaker 7: innovative things like this thing that Mike McDaniel has done 437 00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:41,800 Speaker 7: in Miami with the sprint, the quick sprint motion. It's 438 00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:44,399 Speaker 7: a new idea the teams say are cool. All of 439 00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:47,639 Speaker 7: a sudden, every team in the league is trying it 440 00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:51,880 Speaker 7: or using it, so it stuff spreads out fast. So, yeah, 441 00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:55,639 Speaker 7: you're the stuff you're talking about. Absolutely, It's not just 442 00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:59,280 Speaker 7: Ken Dorsey. It's also Brian da Bol and Mike Kofka 443 00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:02,400 Speaker 7: and the Giants and you know, Shanahan and San Francisco 444 00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:04,440 Speaker 7: and all these guys all over the league. They see 445 00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:06,359 Speaker 7: it and know it, and they know what the answer 446 00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:08,879 Speaker 7: should be to what a defense is doing well. Some 447 00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:12,000 Speaker 7: of the problems that you'll see and I'm I'm waiting 448 00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:13,800 Speaker 7: on the all twenty two to come out tomorrow for 449 00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:17,280 Speaker 7: this game as to see if and you always should 450 00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:19,720 Speaker 7: do this if you have access to the All twenty 451 00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:23,399 Speaker 7: two coaching film, go back and watch the plays of 452 00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:27,720 Speaker 7: the offense and how they develop, and you'll be able 453 00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:32,359 Speaker 7: to see some It's always it's it's rarely one thing. 454 00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:34,399 Speaker 7: When you have a game like last night for the 455 00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:36,920 Speaker 7: Buffalo Bills. It's rarely like, Ah, the offensive line didn't 456 00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:39,720 Speaker 7: play well and that's the reason you lose, Or Ah, 457 00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:43,640 Speaker 7: the quarterback missed this open receivers. It may happen. All 458 00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:47,600 Speaker 7: that stuff happens. All these reasons happen every game, so 459 00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:50,479 Speaker 7: it's hard to pinpoint and generalize, say, well, Ken Dorsey 460 00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:52,720 Speaker 7: needs to run the ball more, or Ken Dorsey needs 461 00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:55,399 Speaker 7: to scheme guys open, or Josh needs to find the 462 00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:57,880 Speaker 7: open guy. Josh needs to take the check down. Their 463 00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:01,160 Speaker 7: running game needs to run. It's all of those things 464 00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:04,560 Speaker 7: all the time because you're not playing in a vacuum. 465 00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:09,840 Speaker 7: So certainly you can have games where wow, they could 466 00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:12,840 Speaker 7: not hit the short passes at all, Josh just wouldn't 467 00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:15,639 Speaker 7: look short, or certainly games like that pop up. But 468 00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:19,280 Speaker 7: until you get in there and watch the film, it's 469 00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:23,679 Speaker 7: hard to make those You know those generalizations like the 470 00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:26,240 Speaker 7: first series when they on the thirty on the Giants 471 00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:29,520 Speaker 7: thirty seven yard line, it's fourth and ten or fourth 472 00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:32,600 Speaker 7: and nine, and Sean McDermott punts it instead of trying 473 00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:36,320 Speaker 7: the fifty five yard field goal, and everybody's going, what 474 00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:38,920 Speaker 7: are you doing? And at that point, Tyler Bass hadn't 475 00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:42,120 Speaker 7: missed a kick all year. I'll tell you this right now, 476 00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:43,920 Speaker 7: and I don't know this yet, but I'm gonna find 477 00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:48,919 Speaker 7: out if I can. I'm telling you Matt Smiley and 478 00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:51,840 Speaker 7: Tyler Bass went to Mcgnermay said, listen, if we're going 479 00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:53,679 Speaker 7: this direction towards the score board, and we all know 480 00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:56,480 Speaker 7: that end of the field is the is the vortex 481 00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:57,040 Speaker 7: of death. 482 00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:00,080 Speaker 2: There was no win last night really though, And. 483 00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:04,520 Speaker 7: I'll say you this, they got the word from from Bass. 484 00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:09,560 Speaker 7: It's iffy outside fifty yards. I mean, they're probably one 485 00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:12,360 Speaker 7: of eight in warm ups from outside fifty and they 486 00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:14,359 Speaker 7: probably told Derma they said, all right, we're gonna pun 487 00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:17,480 Speaker 7: it then. Plus, I don't think Tyrod's going to go 488 00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:19,320 Speaker 7: the distance from the ten yard line all the way 489 00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:21,959 Speaker 7: down the field. We'll see what he can do. And 490 00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:25,199 Speaker 7: they probably took that matchup rather than given well like 491 00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:27,840 Speaker 7: they did, they missed the fifty four yard or later 492 00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:31,480 Speaker 7: in the game go in the other direction, So they 493 00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:34,360 Speaker 7: just probably said, listen, against this offense on this night, 494 00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:36,840 Speaker 7: with a backup quarterback, we're gonna take our chances with 495 00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:39,040 Speaker 7: the long field instead of giving him a half a 496 00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:41,680 Speaker 7: field if we absolutely if we miss a coin flip 497 00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:45,360 Speaker 7: from fifty five, which they ended up doing, which they 498 00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:49,720 Speaker 7: exactly they did it late in the game, so it's yeah, 499 00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:51,320 Speaker 7: I'm sure that went into it. 500 00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:54,640 Speaker 2: Let's go back to the phones and to Dan and Akron. 501 00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:55,280 Speaker 2: What do you got for us? 502 00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:59,080 Speaker 11: Dan Well, I guess hindsight makes for good Monday morning 503 00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:02,399 Speaker 11: football talk, And I'm going to be a supporter of 504 00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:06,000 Speaker 11: the fact that Ken Dorsey absolutely abandoned the run too early. 505 00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:09,119 Speaker 11: And someone who's on the inside, Stephan Diggs, at the 506 00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:10,840 Speaker 11: end of the game said that he said, we got 507 00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:12,800 Speaker 11: away from the run too early, so we kind of 508 00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:14,920 Speaker 11: let the cat out of the bag. First couple of 509 00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:17,440 Speaker 11: runs by Murray where I think seven and eleven yards, 510 00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:20,920 Speaker 11: and then we saw Allen and shotgun like fourteen times 511 00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:23,840 Speaker 11: in a row. So I don't think the play calling 512 00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:27,880 Speaker 11: was very good in the beginning. And then my other 513 00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:31,320 Speaker 11: point is, you know what, a healthy quarterback if you 514 00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:34,280 Speaker 11: don't make it to the playoffs, is completely useless. I'm 515 00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:37,080 Speaker 11: not a proponent of watching him hurtle three people every game, 516 00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:40,879 Speaker 11: but this guy, his weapons are his legs. This is 517 00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:43,639 Speaker 11: a two point game. I don't know why there are 518 00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:46,680 Speaker 11: no more called runs for Josh Allen. We've seen one 519 00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:48,960 Speaker 11: rollout and it just was so nice to see and 520 00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:51,880 Speaker 11: to be reminded how fast he is when the play 521 00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:54,160 Speaker 11: is designed to run and he doesn't have to hem 522 00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:57,240 Speaker 11: and hawd at desperation and scramble. What's your opinion on 523 00:26:57,240 --> 00:26:59,800 Speaker 11: one abandoning the run in two? Do you think we 524 00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:01,760 Speaker 11: have to get him running a little more? 525 00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:02,800 Speaker 7: Yeah? 526 00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:06,520 Speaker 2: Good questions, Dan. They ran only nine times in the 527 00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:08,719 Speaker 2: first half through at eighteen times, that's a two to 528 00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:11,399 Speaker 2: one ratio. And while I think most teams in the 529 00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:14,959 Speaker 2: league are going with a quarterback anywhere near the caliber 530 00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:17,080 Speaker 2: of Josh Allen are going to throw more than they run, 531 00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:20,960 Speaker 2: because analytics has shown it's more efficient to throw the 532 00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:23,520 Speaker 2: ball in terms of getting the ball down the field 533 00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:26,040 Speaker 2: and putting points on the board, not to mention the 534 00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:29,119 Speaker 2: fact that the rules of the league are more favorable 535 00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:32,880 Speaker 2: to passing offenses, you know, based on the new defensive 536 00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:36,760 Speaker 2: holding a legal contact, passer interference and the like. All 537 00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:39,600 Speaker 2: that being said, yeah, if there's success early in the 538 00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:41,399 Speaker 2: run game, you'd like to see them turn to that 539 00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:45,040 Speaker 2: again and again. Why they didn't is a mystery to me. 540 00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:51,240 Speaker 2: I understand your frustration. I mean, flow of the game 541 00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:54,159 Speaker 2: sometimes can compromise those things. But in a game that 542 00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:57,480 Speaker 2: was a one score game from start to finish, it's 543 00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:01,840 Speaker 2: hard to find reasons why you would turn away from 544 00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:03,520 Speaker 2: the run attack. Now, by the time you get to 545 00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:06,800 Speaker 2: the end of the game, it's pretty even. They have 546 00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:10,399 Speaker 2: thirty pass attempts and twenty nine runs, so by the 547 00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:12,560 Speaker 2: end of the game it's relatively even. But in the 548 00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:16,560 Speaker 2: first half it was badly lopsided eighteen to nine. And 549 00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:19,720 Speaker 2: maybe the game isn't six nothing at the half if 550 00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:22,040 Speaker 2: you run the ball a little bit more. There's no 551 00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:28,240 Speaker 2: way for us to know. Was it catastrophic? No, did 552 00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:31,159 Speaker 2: it compromise the effectiveness of the offense? I suppose you 553 00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:35,480 Speaker 2: can make an argument for that. It's like Steve says 554 00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:39,080 Speaker 2: all the time, if you didn't do that and what 555 00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:40,680 Speaker 2: you did work, you should have done the other thing. 556 00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:44,680 Speaker 2: It's just execution. Was an issue last night. If you 557 00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:47,200 Speaker 2: want to lump in the coordinators, which a lot of 558 00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:50,560 Speaker 2: people are wont to do, that's your opinion, you're entitled 559 00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:54,520 Speaker 2: to it. To me, execution was the big problem last 560 00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:58,760 Speaker 2: night with two miss field goals, failure to execute on 561 00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:00,840 Speaker 2: third down, either because of a poor throw or a 562 00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:05,280 Speaker 2: poor catch. Well, fundamental stuff like a fumble because you're 563 00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:08,120 Speaker 2: carrying a ball on an inside arm. There were a 564 00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:13,400 Speaker 2: lot of things blocking assignments, there were penalties. It just 565 00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:17,720 Speaker 2: they just they just manifested themselves for the second straight week. 566 00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:20,240 Speaker 2: And this team on offense, it was a slog for 567 00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:21,000 Speaker 2: most of the game. 568 00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:26,720 Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, you know, it's I mean, you think 569 00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:31,400 Speaker 7: about it. Ken Dorsey didn't fumble that ball, he didn't 570 00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:33,600 Speaker 7: throw the interception, and he didn't miss two field goals, 571 00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:36,080 Speaker 7: and he also didn't headbutt one of the opposing players 572 00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:41,240 Speaker 7: to keep a drive alive. So yeah, everybody's got a 573 00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:43,160 Speaker 7: hand in these ugly losses. They've got a hand in 574 00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:45,680 Speaker 7: these ugly wins. And everybody's got a hand in the 575 00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:47,760 Speaker 7: blowout wins. And they've also got a hand in the 576 00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:52,640 Speaker 7: blowout losses. Everybody contributes. It's you know, and to single 577 00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:54,640 Speaker 7: anybody out on an ugly win like this, and I'll 578 00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:57,680 Speaker 7: say this too. You got to you really have to. 579 00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:01,040 Speaker 7: You got to tip your hat to the coaching staff 580 00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:03,760 Speaker 7: of the Giants day Ball and Wink Martindale. 581 00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:07,640 Speaker 2: Martin Dale only blitzed seven times on thirty two dropbacks. 582 00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:10,880 Speaker 2: That is not his mos time. They timed him perfectly. 583 00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:12,760 Speaker 2: There was a couple of times when they had guys 584 00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:17,240 Speaker 2: rushing free up the middle. They're chasing Josh, so they 585 00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:19,480 Speaker 2: didn't get him. They didn't have any sacks on the night, 586 00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:23,000 Speaker 2: but they held. The team held the Buffalo Bills to 587 00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:27,400 Speaker 2: fourteen points on a night when they had like a 588 00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:32,280 Speaker 2: guy who self admittedly was straight off the couch to 589 00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:35,960 Speaker 2: play offensive line for him. I mean they got You 590 00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:38,080 Speaker 2: got to tip your hat to Brian Dable on the Giants' 591 00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:40,600 Speaker 2: coaching staff for giving the Bills all they could handle 592 00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:43,280 Speaker 2: on the road in Buffalo in Orchard Park in a 593 00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:51,960 Speaker 2: primetime game when the Bills came in offensively. Pretty healthy man, 594 00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:57,120 Speaker 2: old man Wink Martindale did a nice job last night, yep. 595 00:30:57,480 --> 00:31:00,800 Speaker 2: And he committed to coverage. He committed to a team 596 00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:02,840 Speaker 2: that was blitzing at forty five percent of their snaps. 597 00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:06,400 Speaker 2: Last night. They only blitz about twenty percent of their snaps. 598 00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:07,960 Speaker 7: About half as much as they used less than half 599 00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:10,360 Speaker 7: they and it worked, and they were doubling digs all 600 00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:13,240 Speaker 7: over the field, and they forced the Bills to try 601 00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:15,520 Speaker 7: and beat somebody left handed. Now, the Bills got it done, 602 00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:17,280 Speaker 7: but it wasn't pretty and they didn't do a really 603 00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:19,360 Speaker 7: great job at it. They didn't make it look easy 604 00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:23,320 Speaker 7: trying to beat the Giants left handed offensively, but they 605 00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:26,920 Speaker 7: did get it done. And if the Giants get any 606 00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:32,000 Speaker 7: better play, you know from their offense, you know, the 607 00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:33,880 Speaker 7: Giants win that game. So you got to tip your 608 00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:36,000 Speaker 7: hat to the Giants coaching staff, no question about it. 609 00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:40,280 Speaker 7: They didn't look pretty offensively, but like you said, they 610 00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:43,200 Speaker 7: were just over fifty percent on third down themselves last night. 611 00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:46,680 Speaker 7: Tyrod never turns it over. Hit a couple of lob 612 00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:50,040 Speaker 7: balls and that ball Tyrod Man, he doesn't throw it 613 00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:53,120 Speaker 7: deep very much, but when he does, man, it's money. 614 00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:54,840 Speaker 7: I don't know why the guy didn't let it lose more. 615 00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:57,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, we got to take a break though more of 616 00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:00,280 Speaker 2: your phone calls when we come back, include it this 617 00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:02,760 Speaker 2: week's Player of the Game. All that coming your way 618 00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:22,680 Speaker 2: next here on one Bill's Live. Stay tuned all right, 619 00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:25,440 Speaker 2: Welcome back to one Bill's Live here on a Buffalo 620 00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:29,040 Speaker 2: victory Monday time for this week's Player of the Game, 621 00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:31,680 Speaker 2: presented by Wegman's Meals to Go. Wegman's Meals to Go 622 00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:35,400 Speaker 2: Delicious Meals delivered download their app today and our player 623 00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:38,280 Speaker 2: of the game is Tarren Johnson. Yes, he had to 624 00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:40,120 Speaker 2: play at the end of the game on the untimed 625 00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:44,040 Speaker 2: down to preserve the fourteen to nine victory to break 626 00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:47,640 Speaker 2: up the pass to Darren Waller. He also had fifteen 627 00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:52,400 Speaker 2: tackles in the game, career high fifteen tackles for your 628 00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:55,880 Speaker 2: nickel corner. He was all over the field. He and 629 00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:58,840 Speaker 2: Dorian Williams and Terrell Bernard were probably three of the 630 00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:03,160 Speaker 2: most active players on the defensive side of the ball yesterday. 631 00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:08,760 Speaker 2: And the reason Darren Johnson is a dog man. The 632 00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:11,760 Speaker 2: guy is just tough as nails. I saw him slip attack, 633 00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:14,959 Speaker 2: slip a block. Darren Waller is trying to block down field. 634 00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:17,840 Speaker 2: He just ducks underneath the block and makes the tackle. 635 00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:20,800 Speaker 2: He walloped. I want to say it was Saquon Barkley, 636 00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:23,640 Speaker 2: or maybe it was Matt Brida on a run play 637 00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:26,240 Speaker 2: or a short pass in the flat and he buried 638 00:33:26,320 --> 00:33:31,320 Speaker 2: him because I remember calling the play lights out performance 639 00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:35,480 Speaker 2: by him last night. The best part was I asked 640 00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:38,360 Speaker 2: Von Miller about Taron Johnson last night in the postgame 641 00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:43,400 Speaker 2: press conference and he said, there was a time in 642 00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:47,520 Speaker 2: the fourth quarter he comes to Taron Johnson on the sideline. 643 00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:49,720 Speaker 2: Johnson's sitting on the bench, He's looking down at the 644 00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:52,440 Speaker 2: ground staring. Vaughn is trying to pick him up, and 645 00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:56,040 Speaker 2: he says, hey, man, we ready to go, and Tarn 646 00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:58,680 Speaker 2: with a straight face, just says I'm just thinking about 647 00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:01,560 Speaker 2: making a play to win the game. And then he 648 00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:04,520 Speaker 2: went out and did it. There's something to that, something 649 00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:08,000 Speaker 2: about visualization. There is something about that. I did that 650 00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:11,759 Speaker 2: in my career occasionally, and guys do that, and it's 651 00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:13,799 Speaker 2: preached too to guys in the locker room. You gotta 652 00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:16,640 Speaker 2: envision yourself being successful. And you know, you hear it 653 00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:20,239 Speaker 2: in business in team building things all the time, and 654 00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:22,760 Speaker 2: you hear it in business where you have to envision 655 00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:24,640 Speaker 2: where you want to go, and guys do that. I 656 00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:28,600 Speaker 2: it's a thing, and I'm it's kind of cool to 657 00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:30,960 Speaker 2: hear Taron Johnson talk about it. It brought back a 658 00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:33,480 Speaker 2: lot of memories I've heard about and I've done it myself. 659 00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:35,719 Speaker 2: I've heard about guys doing it. You sit there in 660 00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:39,800 Speaker 2: a moment and you it prepares you for that moment 661 00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:42,480 Speaker 2: when it does come your way. Not enough guys do it, 662 00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:48,439 Speaker 2: But when when that moment comes for Terran, you. 663 00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:50,359 Speaker 7: Don't shy away from you and you get your army. 664 00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:52,319 Speaker 7: You're just like, yes, you know. And it doesn't mean 665 00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:54,319 Speaker 7: that he envisioned doing it right there in the middle 666 00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:56,160 Speaker 7: of the gold and under the goal post in the 667 00:34:56,200 --> 00:34:57,360 Speaker 7: middle of the field. It could have been on the 668 00:34:57,400 --> 00:34:59,920 Speaker 7: corner of it. But you have to envision yourself being success. 669 00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:04,520 Speaker 7: It's a technique that guys use, and it's awesome to 670 00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:07,560 Speaker 7: hear about a guy sharing it with his teammates because 671 00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:11,040 Speaker 7: you always feel a little crazy, you know, like I 672 00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:15,640 Speaker 7: am daydreaming about You speak it into it, you think it, 673 00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:18,440 Speaker 7: you envision it, and you go out and it gives 674 00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:21,080 Speaker 7: you not that you're gonna picture the exact play that 675 00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:23,799 Speaker 7: you're gonna do or whatever. You're not gonna not like that, 676 00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:27,840 Speaker 7: but it gives you the mentality of being ready for 677 00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:31,560 Speaker 7: when it does show up. And great job by Taron Johnson. 678 00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:33,680 Speaker 7: You you know it and people who listen to the 679 00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:35,840 Speaker 7: show all the time. Greg Cosel comes in and raves 680 00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:40,440 Speaker 7: about Tarn Johnson, about him being that special player that 681 00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:43,320 Speaker 7: allows the Bill's defense to play the way it does, 682 00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:47,880 Speaker 7: staying in nickel so much of the time because of 683 00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:53,520 Speaker 7: his ability to do so many different things, particularly like 684 00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:56,399 Speaker 7: you said, come up fifteen tackles later, and it gives 685 00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:58,000 Speaker 7: you an idea of why they can, why they play 686 00:35:58,040 --> 00:35:59,480 Speaker 7: him so much, and why he's such an important part. 687 00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:02,120 Speaker 7: That's kind of cool to hear Von Miller share that. 688 00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:03,759 Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll have that a little bit later on the 689 00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:05,880 Speaker 2: show when we go around the locker room. But in 690 00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:07,920 Speaker 2: the meantime, we go back to the phones and to 691 00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:09,880 Speaker 2: Joe in cheek to Waga, what do you got for us? 692 00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:16,680 Speaker 12: Joe, Hello, gentlemen, just calling this morning. You know, a 693 00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:19,520 Speaker 12: win is a win, and I'm so happy about that. 694 00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:23,000 Speaker 12: If you give me this game every week and we 695 00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:25,720 Speaker 12: get to the super Bowl and we win the Super 696 00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:29,080 Speaker 12: Bowl three to nothing, I will be the happiest person 697 00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:33,839 Speaker 12: in the world. It just seems to me. I know 698 00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:38,239 Speaker 12: it's you know, the argument's been done, but something is 699 00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:42,920 Speaker 12: not right with this offense. And it started maybe after 700 00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:48,200 Speaker 12: Josh hurt his elbow last year. I feel like our 701 00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:54,120 Speaker 12: coaching staff. I don't know if it's Dorsey. Steve might 702 00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:57,000 Speaker 12: know better. I don't know if it's Dorsey or if 703 00:36:57,000 --> 00:37:01,359 Speaker 12: it's Dorsey playing and calling plays with in the head 704 00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:06,560 Speaker 12: coach's philosophy. But I feel like they are trying to 705 00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:12,759 Speaker 12: turn in my opinion, the greatest quarterback ever to walk 706 00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:17,040 Speaker 12: through Buffalo maybe the NFL. And that's saying a lot 707 00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:20,719 Speaker 12: the way I felt about Jim Kelly. But I feel 708 00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:23,080 Speaker 12: like they're trying to turn this guy into Trent Dilfer. 709 00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:28,200 Speaker 12: And it's sickening. You know, that passed to Dawson Knox 710 00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:29,799 Speaker 12: at the end of the game for that first down, 711 00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:33,960 Speaker 12: and that was game. Was it catchable? It was, and 712 00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:37,760 Speaker 12: he probably should have had it. That is not Josh Allen. 713 00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:41,080 Speaker 12: The Josh Allen we all know and we all love, 714 00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:43,520 Speaker 12: and the Josh Allen I think Josh Allen wants to 715 00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:46,839 Speaker 12: be would have run that ball for that first down 716 00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:48,160 Speaker 12: for eighty yards. 717 00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:50,799 Speaker 7: Yep, Josh, here you go. Joe, you're right, you're right. 718 00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:54,279 Speaker 7: But here's the thing that you're right. Maybe back in 719 00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:57,120 Speaker 7: the day, Josh tucks that ball, runs it blasts third 720 00:37:57,160 --> 00:37:59,520 Speaker 7: today for the first down. Maybe he does do that, 721 00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:03,160 Speaker 7: but here's what you gotta remember, there's six guys out there. 722 00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:05,400 Speaker 7: He's not running for that first down. But by the 723 00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:11,520 Speaker 7: same token, the play he made to Dawson Knox. Sooner 724 00:38:11,640 --> 00:38:15,560 Speaker 7: or later, great quarterbacks, even guys like Josh who run 725 00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:17,560 Speaker 7: the football and can win the game and carry the 726 00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:19,200 Speaker 7: team on his back and put the cape on and 727 00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:21,479 Speaker 7: do all the things we've seen him do to win 728 00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:25,279 Speaker 7: the Super Bowl. Quarterbacks of that nature as well as 729 00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:28,600 Speaker 7: every other quarterback, you gotta have guys who come through 730 00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:33,800 Speaker 7: for you. You gotta rely on somebody else to make a play. 731 00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:38,799 Speaker 7: Somebody has to step up and do something superlative. With 732 00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:41,120 Speaker 7: a guy who can put the cape on, I don't 733 00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:42,919 Speaker 7: care if he does put the cape on. Ask Cam 734 00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:45,880 Speaker 7: Newton how hard it is to win a Super Bowl 735 00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:49,359 Speaker 7: when you are superman. He couldn't get it done. They 736 00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:52,359 Speaker 7: were fifteen and two that year and he couldn't win 737 00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:54,880 Speaker 7: the Super Bowl. He got him there, but sooner or later, 738 00:38:55,120 --> 00:39:00,080 Speaker 7: somebody else has got to step up and make a play. 739 00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:03,520 Speaker 7: That's what the coaching staff's job is to do. Get 740 00:39:03,560 --> 00:39:06,440 Speaker 7: those other guys to elevate. And this is just a 741 00:39:06,480 --> 00:39:09,400 Speaker 7: simple little third down conversion. It ended up not costing 742 00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:12,319 Speaker 7: him the game. And it was a tough catch for 743 00:39:12,360 --> 00:39:16,160 Speaker 7: a six five and fifty five pound dude to pen 744 00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:19,960 Speaker 7: to go down backwards and catch a ball six inches 745 00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:22,759 Speaker 7: off at a tough play and it's a and it 746 00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:25,600 Speaker 7: was a it was a cruddy throw by Josh Nope. 747 00:39:26,200 --> 00:39:27,799 Speaker 2: After the game, he's got to put that. 748 00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:30,719 Speaker 7: Ball right out out. It's an easy throw he couldn't make. 749 00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:35,759 Speaker 7: And that's that's that. But sooner or later, both ends 750 00:39:35,760 --> 00:39:40,440 Speaker 7: of that pass have got to be better. They've got 751 00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:43,280 Speaker 7: to be a yes, not on Ken Dorsey, Ken Dorsey 752 00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:48,680 Speaker 7: schemed Dawson Knox. He's all open and that play puts 753 00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:51,319 Speaker 7: a game away, makes it easy. We can all take 754 00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:55,759 Speaker 7: a deep breath and they blew it. That's just one. 755 00:39:56,800 --> 00:40:01,240 Speaker 7: There's probably fifteen of those in the game, for both 756 00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:06,319 Speaker 7: sides of the ball. But sooner or later, your quarterback, who, 757 00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:08,920 Speaker 7: as you say, Joe, might be the best guy ever. 758 00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:13,239 Speaker 7: He may be, But sooner or later, somebody else got 759 00:40:13,239 --> 00:40:16,160 Speaker 7: to do something. Somebody else got to help him, right, 760 00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:19,399 Speaker 7: somebody's got to get off his back and help him 761 00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:20,759 Speaker 7: lift right. 762 00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:23,160 Speaker 2: If there's one thing that I would agree with you on, 763 00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:27,640 Speaker 2: Joe it's that it's clear to me and probably you too, 764 00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:30,160 Speaker 2: that it has been drilled into Josh's head to not 765 00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:33,759 Speaker 2: run as much. That is readily apparent to us. There 766 00:40:33,760 --> 00:40:37,279 Speaker 2: have been numerous examples through the first six games where 767 00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:39,839 Speaker 2: Josh has had an opportunity to run for the first down, 768 00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:41,920 Speaker 2: whether you're going all the way back to week one 769 00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:44,000 Speaker 2: where he throws an interception when he had thirty yards 770 00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:46,920 Speaker 2: of green grass in front of him, or yesterday. If 771 00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:48,759 Speaker 2: you want to argue that third and eight, I'm not 772 00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:50,080 Speaker 2: so sure he. 773 00:40:50,080 --> 00:40:50,759 Speaker 7: Would have got it. 774 00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:53,799 Speaker 2: Maybe he would, but it is clear to me they 775 00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:56,839 Speaker 2: have drilled that part into his head. Do not run 776 00:40:56,880 --> 00:40:59,040 Speaker 2: as much. We don't want you risking your body. We'd 777 00:40:59,120 --> 00:41:01,719 Speaker 2: rather have you play for another down. So if you 778 00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:04,000 Speaker 2: want to argue that, I will listen to that, because 779 00:41:04,040 --> 00:41:06,840 Speaker 2: I think he has been told, in no uncertain terms, 780 00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:10,239 Speaker 2: run less, protect yourself, make plays with your arm. He's 781 00:41:10,239 --> 00:41:13,959 Speaker 2: tried to do that, sometimes with success, sometimes not so much. 782 00:41:14,360 --> 00:41:16,920 Speaker 2: If you think it's taking away from who his identity 783 00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:19,520 Speaker 2: is as a player, and you want to make that argument, 784 00:41:19,719 --> 00:41:22,359 Speaker 2: that's fine, that's right. Let's see how it plays out 785 00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:24,400 Speaker 2: in the long run. Here, it's only six games. 786 00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:26,879 Speaker 7: The point is this, that player was right, that play 787 00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:30,120 Speaker 7: was right there. Just to throw the ball, execute it, 788 00:41:30,120 --> 00:41:33,120 Speaker 7: to make execute the play and everybody's happy. Josh never 789 00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:35,920 Speaker 7: even risks running the ball. He never risks getting piled 790 00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:38,440 Speaker 7: on by four guys out of bounds and nothing. Just 791 00:41:38,520 --> 00:41:40,360 Speaker 7: throw the ball out there, let Dawson Knox catch it, 792 00:41:40,440 --> 00:41:44,720 Speaker 7: slide inside in bounds, and the game's over. But Kennich, 793 00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:48,920 Speaker 7: that's the stuff. You got to execute. That play is 794 00:41:48,920 --> 00:41:51,960 Speaker 7: as important as a first quarter third down as well. 795 00:41:51,960 --> 00:41:54,800 Speaker 7: That was incomplete to Knocks in the first drive of 796 00:41:54,880 --> 00:41:57,520 Speaker 7: the game, or the first the second drive where they 797 00:41:57,520 --> 00:41:59,560 Speaker 7: were down on the thirty seven yard line. You know 798 00:41:59,560 --> 00:42:03,120 Speaker 7: it was. It was an incomplete pass, a completed pass 799 00:42:03,160 --> 00:42:05,880 Speaker 7: to Digs for no gain, an incomplete pass to Knocks 800 00:42:06,160 --> 00:42:08,719 Speaker 7: and they punt it from the opponent's thirty seven yards. 801 00:42:08,760 --> 00:42:13,560 Speaker 7: Those plays are all important. You just got to execute him. 802 00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:17,160 Speaker 7: Dave Davis, tuck the ball away. You don't get crushed 803 00:42:17,160 --> 00:42:20,120 Speaker 7: on that first series. You know, all that stuff, they're 804 00:42:20,120 --> 00:42:22,399 Speaker 7: all Every play is important because it spins the game 805 00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:25,400 Speaker 7: off into another direction. But as far as Josh running 806 00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:29,480 Speaker 7: the football, listen, he's healthy today. 807 00:42:29,719 --> 00:42:30,640 Speaker 2: We hope you. 808 00:42:30,680 --> 00:42:33,560 Speaker 7: Just got to throw the ball out there. That's why 809 00:42:33,600 --> 00:42:35,400 Speaker 7: you don't want him to run, because those plays are 810 00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:37,360 Speaker 7: the easy ones. Just you throw, toss it out there 811 00:42:37,360 --> 00:42:39,440 Speaker 7: and make the play. That's why you don't want him 812 00:42:39,480 --> 00:42:42,680 Speaker 7: to run.

I got two things I want 847 00:44:30,960 --> 00:44:34,160 Speaker 14: to ask you. On the two tripping instance, I think 848 00:44:34,200 --> 00:44:37,880 Speaker 14: it was Gay Davison Surefield. Where they penalties are at. 849 00:44:38,160 --> 00:44:40,399 Speaker 2: I thought they were. They didn't flag them. 850 00:44:40,520 --> 00:44:41,080 Speaker 7: I'll say this. 851 00:44:41,200 --> 00:44:44,160 Speaker 2: I mean, you can argue that it's incidental contact, and 852 00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:45,200 Speaker 2: I get that. 853 00:44:45,160 --> 00:44:47,719 Speaker 7: But it didn't look deliberate, no question about it. 854 00:44:48,080 --> 00:44:50,200 Speaker 2: But to me, if you're not going to call that. 855 00:44:50,600 --> 00:44:56,200 Speaker 2: You're inviting defenders to do that, to act like, oh incidental, Sorry, 856 00:44:56,320 --> 00:44:58,560 Speaker 2: didn't mean to trip you there. I was looking for 857 00:44:58,600 --> 00:45:02,640 Speaker 2: the ball, honestly, you there. Sorry, Right, it's a penalty. 858 00:45:02,680 --> 00:45:05,480 Speaker 2: You repeated the guy's ability to make a play on 859 00:45:05,520 --> 00:45:11,200 Speaker 2: the ball when he was clearly starting to run open. 860 00:45:11,480 --> 00:45:13,080 Speaker 7: And I'll say this, I was sitting next to Murph 861 00:45:13,120 --> 00:45:16,000 Speaker 7: in the booth last night, John Murphy next to us, 862 00:45:16,040 --> 00:45:18,759 Speaker 7: and he was behind us, and we looked at each 863 00:45:18,800 --> 00:45:21,160 Speaker 7: other and he goes, nah, he can't call that stuff, right. 864 00:45:21,560 --> 00:45:25,000 Speaker 7: I'm like, dude, yeah, you know, because it did look 865 00:45:25,239 --> 00:45:28,200 Speaker 7: innocent and it didn't. And they said on the first 866 00:45:28,239 --> 00:45:30,920 Speaker 7: where the guy actually kind of pulled him down stuff. Listen, 867 00:45:32,600 --> 00:45:34,960 Speaker 7: he was falling out. I don't know about all it did. 868 00:45:34,960 --> 00:45:38,680 Speaker 7: Look let's say it was innocent. It opens up a 869 00:45:38,719 --> 00:45:39,480 Speaker 7: can of worms. 870 00:45:39,600 --> 00:45:41,959 Speaker 2: Well you can't. You can't not throw a flag because 871 00:45:41,960 --> 00:45:43,359 Speaker 2: the guy didn't mean to do it. 872 00:45:43,520 --> 00:45:48,359 Speaker 7: Right. Intent is irrelevant. It's irrelevant in all penalties. It's 873 00:45:48,360 --> 00:45:49,920 Speaker 7: not the end unless it's a you know, fist. 874 00:45:50,160 --> 00:45:52,399 Speaker 2: I was largely unimpressed with that officiating crew. 875 00:45:52,640 --> 00:45:55,120 Speaker 7: Yeah I I I was. I went with you. I 876 00:45:55,120 --> 00:45:57,160 Speaker 7: think you got to call that stuff, because if you don't, 877 00:45:58,080 --> 00:46:00,600 Speaker 7: you open up the possibility they're gonna do it. 878 00:46:00,880 --> 00:46:02,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, they're like, oh that's a good All of a. 879 00:46:02,680 --> 00:46:04,920 Speaker 7: Sudden, they act like, you know, there antenna, what am 880 00:46:04,920 --> 00:46:05,279 Speaker 7: I gonna do? 881 00:46:05,320 --> 00:46:07,959 Speaker 2: Ah? Sorry, just run with things that step on his heel, 882 00:46:07,960 --> 00:46:08,919 Speaker 2: give him a flat tire. 883 00:46:08,960 --> 00:46:10,680 Speaker 7: And I don't know if I don't want to reference 884 00:46:10,719 --> 00:46:14,040 Speaker 7: anything too much, but the buffalo with the wings who says, 885 00:46:14,040 --> 00:46:15,799 Speaker 7: oh what if I back up? And I'm like, oh, 886 00:46:15,840 --> 00:46:18,480 Speaker 7: I'm sorry, and I trampled him, and you know it's 887 00:46:18,480 --> 00:46:21,319 Speaker 7: a it's a joke commercial. That's what you're asking for. 888 00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:24,480 Speaker 7: I was an accident. I didn't mean to, you know, 889 00:46:24,560 --> 00:46:26,839 Speaker 7: trip him up another again for the fifth time. 890 00:46:26,920 --> 00:46:29,920 Speaker 2: It's a given inch take a mile situation. Defenders, just 891 00:46:29,920 --> 00:46:31,799 Speaker 2: like anybody else, are looking for an edge. And if 892 00:46:31,800 --> 00:46:33,600 Speaker 2: they sense that there's an edge there and you're never 893 00:46:33,640 --> 00:46:36,000 Speaker 2: gonna call it, well, they'll find a way to step 894 00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:38,160 Speaker 2: on somebody's heel, give him a flat tire so they 895 00:46:38,160 --> 00:46:39,839 Speaker 2: can't run and make a play on the ball. Yeah, 896 00:46:40,120 --> 00:46:42,759 Speaker 2: especially if they're beat, which both of those guys were. 897 00:46:42,800 --> 00:46:47,960 Speaker 7: They were. They were totally toasted, and yeah, I was 898 00:46:48,600 --> 00:46:52,160 Speaker 7: you always I always see that called yeah, I don't know. 899 00:46:52,239 --> 00:46:52,840 Speaker 2: It bothered me. 900 00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:53,600 Speaker 7: It did me too. 901 00:46:53,719 --> 00:46:56,160 Speaker 2: Let's go to Dave in Rochester next. What's up Dave? 902 00:46:57,000 --> 00:47:00,880 Speaker 13: Hey, guys. Yeah, ugly game to watch, the painful, but 903 00:47:01,640 --> 00:47:05,160 Speaker 13: one of the highlights I loved was that touchdown pass 904 00:47:05,239 --> 00:47:08,800 Speaker 13: to Quinton Morris. I mean, that window closed so quickly. 905 00:47:09,640 --> 00:47:12,279 Speaker 13: I don't know how many quarterbacks can throw that ball, 906 00:47:12,360 --> 00:47:14,279 Speaker 13: but that was amazing to me. 907 00:47:14,600 --> 00:47:16,759 Speaker 2: Yeah. Patrick Mahomes is probably the only other one I 908 00:47:16,760 --> 00:47:17,239 Speaker 2: have to do that. 909 00:47:17,400 --> 00:47:18,440 Speaker 7: Yeah, it'd be That's. 910 00:47:18,280 --> 00:47:20,439 Speaker 2: A Josh Allen play all the way. 911 00:47:20,719 --> 00:47:23,000 Speaker 7: We know one guy that can make that throw, and 912 00:47:23,040 --> 00:47:24,319 Speaker 7: everybody else would have to prove it. 913 00:47:25,880 --> 00:47:29,239 Speaker 2: The most impressive part about that play whereas he avoided 914 00:47:29,400 --> 00:47:32,359 Speaker 2: pressure in two different areas in the pocket, rolled out 915 00:47:32,400 --> 00:47:35,719 Speaker 2: to buy time, and then as soon as Quinton Morris 916 00:47:35,760 --> 00:47:39,319 Speaker 2: goes into the scramble drill and turns his shoulder, the 917 00:47:39,400 --> 00:47:41,919 Speaker 2: ball is already out of Josh's hands as he turns 918 00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:45,279 Speaker 2: the shoulder. If it's not Jason Pinnock is breaking up 919 00:47:45,320 --> 00:47:49,560 Speaker 2: that pass or maybe even intercepting the ball. So Josh 920 00:47:49,840 --> 00:47:54,120 Speaker 2: anticipatory throw because as soon as Morris turns his shoulder, 921 00:47:54,239 --> 00:47:56,640 Speaker 2: he's not even out of that break and the ball's 922 00:47:56,680 --> 00:47:59,200 Speaker 2: already on the way. That's the only reason it fit 923 00:47:59,239 --> 00:47:59,520 Speaker 2: in there. 924 00:47:59,520 --> 00:48:02,640 Speaker 7: And I'll say this as a receiver, I remember thinking this, 925 00:48:02,800 --> 00:48:04,799 Speaker 7: not too much because I didn't play receiver all that much. 926 00:48:04,840 --> 00:48:09,440 Speaker 7: But when Morris comes around, that ball's already there. Morris 927 00:48:09,560 --> 00:48:12,000 Speaker 7: spins around. As as he's spinning around, you catch the 928 00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:16,800 Speaker 7: defender coming towards you. So Quentin knows the guy's closing 929 00:48:16,840 --> 00:48:19,720 Speaker 7: on him from the inside as well as turning away 930 00:48:19,760 --> 00:48:22,600 Speaker 7: from the guy on the outside. He knows when the 931 00:48:22,640 --> 00:48:25,360 Speaker 7: ball's coming. You do that mental calculation of is the 932 00:48:25,360 --> 00:48:28,520 Speaker 7: ball going to get here first? And when that ball's 933 00:48:28,560 --> 00:48:30,400 Speaker 7: coming at the velocity it was, he goes yeah. So 934 00:48:30,440 --> 00:48:32,319 Speaker 7: that gives him the confidence and no, he can go up, 935 00:48:32,600 --> 00:48:34,960 Speaker 7: grab it and brace before the guy's going to get 936 00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:38,120 Speaker 7: there to light him up. So the velocity and the 937 00:48:38,160 --> 00:48:41,239 Speaker 7: target of the ball tells Morris. He goes, I got 938 00:48:41,239 --> 00:48:44,359 Speaker 7: a chance at this when he comes out, and sure 939 00:48:44,440 --> 00:48:48,360 Speaker 7: enough he went up, caught it with his chest, crunched 940 00:48:48,400 --> 00:48:52,680 Speaker 7: it up and took the hit and it's a touchdown. 941 00:48:53,040 --> 00:48:55,520 Speaker 7: It was a great throw. It's a great throw. 942 00:48:55,640 --> 00:48:58,440 Speaker 2: Let's squeeze in John from Massachusetts here next. What do 943 00:48:58,480 --> 00:49:01,000 Speaker 2: you got for us, John, just want to give. 944 00:49:00,880 --> 00:49:05,400 Speaker 16: A little all right rip no, no, there's no h 945 00:49:06,000 --> 00:49:09,200 Speaker 16: no pictures in the wins and losses column. Just wanted 946 00:49:09,239 --> 00:49:12,880 Speaker 16: to touch on real quick. I feel like last couple 947 00:49:12,840 --> 00:49:15,520 Speaker 16: of games, defenses and they really know how to play, 948 00:49:15,600 --> 00:49:18,359 Speaker 16: Josh Allen, the Bills is just two deep safeties, take 949 00:49:18,400 --> 00:49:22,759 Speaker 16: away the twenty plus yarders. And I think yesterday at 950 00:49:22,760 --> 00:49:24,920 Speaker 16: some point in the second quarter we were it was 951 00:49:24,960 --> 00:49:28,160 Speaker 16: like eleven targets to digs, three to Gabe Davis. I 952 00:49:28,160 --> 00:49:31,520 Speaker 16: feel like the Bills offense really starts to quick when 953 00:49:31,560 --> 00:49:34,080 Speaker 16: we spread the ball around, saw it after you know, 954 00:49:34,120 --> 00:49:36,960 Speaker 16: we got bottled up against the Jets week one, start 955 00:49:37,040 --> 00:49:40,080 Speaker 16: to really move it around against the Raiders, move it 956 00:49:40,120 --> 00:49:42,800 Speaker 16: around against the Commanders. I'd like to see us just 957 00:49:42,880 --> 00:49:45,719 Speaker 16: kind of take a step back, settle down, take what 958 00:49:45,800 --> 00:49:48,000 Speaker 16: the defense gives us. If it's the dank and dunks 959 00:49:48,000 --> 00:49:50,560 Speaker 16: and the runs. Next week against the Pats, take that 960 00:49:50,600 --> 00:49:53,440 Speaker 16: all day, makes them bring the safeties up, and then 961 00:49:53,680 --> 00:49:56,360 Speaker 16: you start hitting digs Gape Davis for the big ones. 962 00:49:57,400 --> 00:50:00,920 Speaker 16: And in the past two you can definitely see uh. 963 00:50:02,080 --> 00:50:05,160 Speaker 16: I think it was twenty twenty one, after we you know, 964 00:50:05,200 --> 00:50:07,440 Speaker 16: had lost a couple tough ones like against the Bucks, 965 00:50:07,440 --> 00:50:10,560 Speaker 16: and then last part of that year we settled down. Yeah, 966 00:50:10,560 --> 00:50:12,880 Speaker 16: they won six in a row underneath and then yeah 967 00:50:12,920 --> 00:50:14,680 Speaker 16: so and then I also just wanted to real quick 968 00:50:14,680 --> 00:50:17,480 Speaker 16: give a shout out to my boys, Rob Aaron and 969 00:50:17,520 --> 00:50:18,720 Speaker 16: Mark Gobill's fellows. 970 00:50:18,800 --> 00:50:22,279 Speaker 2: Let's go all right, fair enough, John, thanks for the calls. Yeah, 971 00:50:22,320 --> 00:50:25,000 Speaker 2: I mean, you should put it in perspective. It's an 972 00:50:25,080 --> 00:50:28,480 Speaker 2: ugly victory. But the Bills have these games each of 973 00:50:28,520 --> 00:50:30,640 Speaker 2: the last few years. I mean, twenty twenty one, you 974 00:50:30,719 --> 00:50:33,080 Speaker 2: got the nine to six Jags game and a three 975 00:50:33,120 --> 00:50:35,880 Speaker 2: game losing streak in like Week fourteen, they win the 976 00:50:35,960 --> 00:50:39,719 Speaker 2: last five and they kill it in the playoffs, you know, 977 00:50:39,800 --> 00:50:43,719 Speaker 2: unfortunately before thirteen seconds. And then last year you lose 978 00:50:43,760 --> 00:50:46,600 Speaker 2: back to back games to the Jets and the Vikings 979 00:50:46,640 --> 00:50:49,719 Speaker 2: in overtime, and they win six in a row after that. Now, 980 00:50:49,880 --> 00:50:52,799 Speaker 2: I'm not saying that's guaranteed to happen this time, but 981 00:50:53,480 --> 00:50:55,960 Speaker 2: they have these lulls in the season where they just 982 00:50:55,960 --> 00:50:58,440 Speaker 2: don't play their best. Be glad they actually won the 983 00:50:58,480 --> 00:51:01,000 Speaker 2: game yesterday, because in the previous two seasons they lost 984 00:51:01,040 --> 00:51:01,640 Speaker 2: those games. 985 00:51:01,760 --> 00:51:05,600 Speaker 7: I'll say this too about the slow start. It's hard 986 00:51:05,840 --> 00:51:08,480 Speaker 7: it's hard to play well offensively in the league. It's 987 00:51:08,560 --> 00:51:11,200 Speaker 7: it's hard to do that. And sometimes, like with the 988 00:51:12,600 --> 00:51:16,120 Speaker 7: Miami Dolphins game and all that stuff, it looks easy, 989 00:51:16,160 --> 00:51:18,040 Speaker 7: you know, in some games and some of the other stuff, 990 00:51:18,040 --> 00:51:20,960 Speaker 7: the Raiders and the Commanders games, it kind of looked easy. Okay, 991 00:51:21,719 --> 00:51:25,319 Speaker 7: it's not easy. And those early the two penalties we 992 00:51:25,400 --> 00:51:28,520 Speaker 7: talked about, the ones where you get tripped up on 993 00:51:28,800 --> 00:51:31,239 Speaker 7: long balls. Listen, if you hit a couple of long 994 00:51:31,280 --> 00:51:34,720 Speaker 7: balls on a good defense, it changes things going forward. 995 00:51:35,320 --> 00:51:37,960 Speaker 7: But because they didn't hit them, the defense feels like, Okay, 996 00:51:37,960 --> 00:51:40,239 Speaker 7: we're doing okay. We don't have to adjust like we 997 00:51:40,280 --> 00:51:41,120 Speaker 7: thought we might. 998 00:51:42,560 --> 00:51:42,600 Speaker 3: Have. 999 00:51:42,760 --> 00:51:46,279 Speaker 7: An early success affects the defense as much as it 1000 00:51:46,280 --> 00:51:49,280 Speaker 7: affects the psych of the offense. You force that defense 1001 00:51:49,320 --> 00:51:52,120 Speaker 7: to reevaluate and listen, if they're nicking us, we can't 1002 00:51:52,160 --> 00:51:55,520 Speaker 7: do that anymore. The fumble and gave Davis fumble that 1003 00:51:56,000 --> 00:51:58,279 Speaker 7: they're off the field. Hey, it's great. We don't care 1004 00:51:58,480 --> 00:52:01,560 Speaker 7: that we gave up a fifteen yard crossing route to 1005 00:52:01,600 --> 00:52:03,680 Speaker 7: Gabe Davis. There was a fumble. We get it. Let's go. 1006 00:52:04,000 --> 00:52:07,480 Speaker 7: Our defense is playing great. Everything changes when you have 1007 00:52:07,520 --> 00:52:10,520 Speaker 7: a little success and those target shares you talked about 1008 00:52:10,560 --> 00:52:12,640 Speaker 7: early and the way you know, the dink and dunk 1009 00:52:12,680 --> 00:52:16,520 Speaker 7: stuff listening. If those guys gonna get tripped up on 1010 00:52:16,560 --> 00:52:20,440 Speaker 7: two successive series, that's a different game, and that's a 1011 00:52:20,440 --> 00:52:23,920 Speaker 7: different defense you're looking at. So it all, you know, 1012 00:52:24,000 --> 00:52:27,279 Speaker 7: we don't know how these games play out other than 1013 00:52:27,320 --> 00:52:30,680 Speaker 7: the fact that we missed some opportunities. Because those opportunities 1014 00:52:30,680 --> 00:52:34,719 Speaker 7: that you hit on affect things going forward. You're right, 1015 00:52:34,760 --> 00:52:36,960 Speaker 7: defenses may have an idea about how to stop the Bills. 1016 00:52:36,960 --> 00:52:39,960 Speaker 2: But Bills had one play of twenty yards or more. 1017 00:52:40,080 --> 00:52:43,200 Speaker 2: The Giants had four. Two of them were unplays. But 1018 00:52:43,239 --> 00:52:45,520 Speaker 2: the Giants had four times the number of plays if 1019 00:52:45,520 --> 00:52:48,319 Speaker 2: twenty yards or more to that of the Bills. And 1020 00:52:48,360 --> 00:52:51,320 Speaker 2: you bet your bottom dollar that Belichick and the Patriots 1021 00:52:51,320 --> 00:52:53,239 Speaker 2: are going to take a page out of Wink Martindale's 1022 00:52:53,239 --> 00:52:57,239 Speaker 2: book to hold down Buffalo's offense and eliminate the big 1023 00:52:57,280 --> 00:53:00,279 Speaker 2: play element as well. Break time for us here. Our 1024 00:53:00,400 --> 00:53:04,400 Speaker 2: number two will begin with the Maddie Awards back after 1025 00:53:04,520 --> 00:53:07,520 Speaker 2: a loss last week. The Maddie Awards returns an hour 1026 00:53:07,600 --> 00:53:09,759 Speaker 2: number two and then more of your phone calls here 1027 00:53:09,800 --> 00:53:12,320 Speaker 2: All One Bill's Live, presented by Colida Health. It's Buffalo 1028 00:53:12,320 --> 00:54:56,200 Speaker 2: Bill's Radio. 1029 00:54:07,440 --> 00:54:12,080 Speaker 1: The One Bill's Live, presented by Callida Health. 1030 00:54:12,280 --> 00:54:14,200 Speaker 2: All right, here we are an hour number two on 1031 00:54:14,280 --> 00:54:17,879 Speaker 2: a bills Victory Monday. Chris Brown, Steve Taster, and join 1032 00:54:18,000 --> 00:54:21,480 Speaker 2: now by Bill's reporter Maddy glab Because after a Bill's victory, 1033 00:54:22,080 --> 00:54:24,839 Speaker 2: we get to see Maddie on Mondays. For what else, 1034 00:54:25,040 --> 00:54:30,520 Speaker 2: The Maddie Awards, presented by Energy Mark, the official energy 1035 00:54:30,640 --> 00:54:34,000 Speaker 2: supplier to the Buffalo Bill's. Good afternoon, Maddie. 1036 00:54:34,920 --> 00:54:35,520 Speaker 17: Yeah, I'm with you. 1037 00:54:35,640 --> 00:54:37,839 Speaker 18: I know we took a break last week, but we're 1038 00:54:37,880 --> 00:54:38,319 Speaker 18: back here. 1039 00:54:38,360 --> 00:54:42,680 Speaker 17: I don't care if it was not so pretty victory. 1040 00:54:42,719 --> 00:54:44,040 Speaker 17: We've got things to celebrate. 1041 00:54:44,080 --> 00:54:45,720 Speaker 18: We got to talk about some of the good things 1042 00:54:45,719 --> 00:54:48,359 Speaker 18: that came out of last night's game. So we'll start 1043 00:54:48,400 --> 00:54:51,319 Speaker 18: first with our best Catch Award, and that's going to 1044 00:54:51,480 --> 00:54:55,120 Speaker 18: Quintin Morris. He had an opportunity last night with Don 1045 00:54:55,200 --> 00:54:56,600 Speaker 18: Kincaid out of the lineup. 1046 00:54:56,800 --> 00:54:58,880 Speaker 17: He was in concussion protocol all week. 1047 00:54:59,400 --> 00:55:01,560 Speaker 18: Hopefully we'll get an update on him when we hear 1048 00:55:01,640 --> 00:55:05,000 Speaker 18: from Sean later this afternoon. But Quinton Morris played about 1049 00:55:05,080 --> 00:55:08,359 Speaker 18: eighteen snaps last night, so thirty percent of the game 1050 00:55:08,400 --> 00:55:10,960 Speaker 18: he gets one target. It happens to be in a 1051 00:55:11,000 --> 00:55:13,839 Speaker 18: big time moment in the end zone, makes a great 1052 00:55:13,880 --> 00:55:18,080 Speaker 18: grab for a touchdown. This gives the Bills the lead 1053 00:55:18,200 --> 00:55:21,160 Speaker 18: with three minutes and forty eight seconds left to go 1054 00:55:21,280 --> 00:55:23,359 Speaker 18: in the game. I mean, Josh Allen fit the ball 1055 00:55:23,440 --> 00:55:26,160 Speaker 18: in a super tight window and Quinton Morris did a 1056 00:55:26,200 --> 00:55:29,200 Speaker 18: great job with those strong hands to make the catch. 1057 00:55:29,640 --> 00:55:32,160 Speaker 17: You need people to step up in moments like this. 1058 00:55:32,320 --> 00:55:34,880 Speaker 18: It doesn't matter if your starter, it doesn't matter if 1059 00:55:34,920 --> 00:55:38,399 Speaker 18: you come in for five snaps. And he answered the call, 1060 00:55:38,520 --> 00:55:41,120 Speaker 18: did what he needed to do in that moment. Love 1061 00:55:41,200 --> 00:55:44,560 Speaker 18: that for him, Love that this is his first touchdown 1062 00:55:44,680 --> 00:55:46,840 Speaker 18: of the season. Hopefully we see a little bit more 1063 00:55:46,920 --> 00:55:49,920 Speaker 18: of that going forward for Quinton Morris, because when the 1064 00:55:49,920 --> 00:55:52,600 Speaker 18: ball's thrown his way, he has made some great grabs 1065 00:55:52,640 --> 00:55:54,480 Speaker 18: in the past when he's been called upon. 1066 00:55:54,680 --> 00:55:57,640 Speaker 2: And that's a broken play number one, so he's you know, 1067 00:55:57,719 --> 00:56:01,120 Speaker 2: executing scramble rules at that point in time to get 1068 00:56:01,120 --> 00:56:04,440 Speaker 2: open for his quarterback. And more importantly, the play before that, 1069 00:56:04,600 --> 00:56:06,879 Speaker 2: he limped off the field. He had hurt his right 1070 00:56:06,920 --> 00:56:09,880 Speaker 2: foot or ankle or something. He was limping off the field. 1071 00:56:10,200 --> 00:56:12,600 Speaker 2: He's out for one play and then he goes back 1072 00:56:12,640 --> 00:56:16,120 Speaker 2: into the game for that play. He knows Dalton Kincaid's down. 1073 00:56:16,520 --> 00:56:19,120 Speaker 2: They're down tight ends, so it's got to get a 1074 00:56:19,160 --> 00:56:21,399 Speaker 2: two tight end play with Reggie Gilliam in the game 1075 00:56:21,440 --> 00:56:23,920 Speaker 2: as well. He comes in the game and gets rewarded. 1076 00:56:23,960 --> 00:56:26,840 Speaker 7: You can see the celebration too. He's hopping on one foot. Yeah, 1077 00:56:27,680 --> 00:56:29,920 Speaker 7: so he'll probably he was dinged. He'll be on their injuries. 1078 00:56:29,920 --> 00:56:30,759 Speaker 17: Hopefully he's all right. 1079 00:56:31,200 --> 00:56:33,799 Speaker 7: But yeah, it's great, great catch. We've seen him do 1080 00:56:33,840 --> 00:56:35,600 Speaker 7: that before in the Mining game last year. We had 1081 00:56:35,640 --> 00:56:38,320 Speaker 7: that catch around the body of the defender. 1082 00:56:39,040 --> 00:56:39,759 Speaker 17: He's got good hands. 1083 00:56:39,840 --> 00:56:40,960 Speaker 7: Yeah, he's got really good. 1084 00:56:40,760 --> 00:56:44,840 Speaker 2: Hands, all right. Moving along to the no fly zone. 1085 00:56:44,880 --> 00:56:45,719 Speaker 17: No fly zone. 1086 00:56:45,719 --> 00:56:48,719 Speaker 18: Shout out to the defense for not allowing a touchdown 1087 00:56:48,880 --> 00:56:52,160 Speaker 18: in yesterday's game. I think we need to recognize that. 1088 00:56:52,280 --> 00:56:54,759 Speaker 18: I mean, nine points on the scoreboard is what they 1089 00:56:54,840 --> 00:56:57,880 Speaker 18: let up. This Giants team was averaging just over twelve 1090 00:56:57,960 --> 00:57:01,080 Speaker 18: points per game. They go under that with nine points. 1091 00:57:01,239 --> 00:57:04,400 Speaker 18: Heading into this one, the Bills defense had only allowed 1092 00:57:04,960 --> 00:57:08,360 Speaker 18: four passing touchdowns. Now they have only allowed four passing 1093 00:57:08,400 --> 00:57:11,600 Speaker 18: touchdowns in six games to start the season. You know, 1094 00:57:11,680 --> 00:57:13,640 Speaker 18: you have to have guys who step up in the 1095 00:57:13,680 --> 00:57:16,640 Speaker 18: absence of Trey White, Matt Malano, and day Kwon Jones. 1096 00:57:16,840 --> 00:57:18,040 Speaker 17: And they did that last night. 1097 00:57:18,080 --> 00:57:20,080 Speaker 18: They had a big goal lying stand at the end 1098 00:57:20,080 --> 00:57:22,800 Speaker 18: of the first half and then the defense kept the 1099 00:57:22,840 --> 00:57:26,000 Speaker 18: score low to give the offense a chance to win 1100 00:57:26,080 --> 00:57:28,720 Speaker 18: this one. That's what you needed. So shout out to 1101 00:57:28,760 --> 00:57:32,000 Speaker 18: the defense for keeping the score low with just nine points, 1102 00:57:32,280 --> 00:57:34,959 Speaker 18: not surrendering a touchdown against this team. 1103 00:57:35,280 --> 00:57:37,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, that was five in the red zone. 1104 00:57:37,120 --> 00:57:40,080 Speaker 7: Fantastic job by the defense, and you know, they they 1105 00:57:40,200 --> 00:57:42,680 Speaker 7: just they just rose up at the moments that it was. 1106 00:57:42,560 --> 00:57:44,760 Speaker 7: It was a great defensive performance against a team that 1107 00:57:45,200 --> 00:57:47,320 Speaker 7: with a quarterback that you didn't know exactly what he was, 1108 00:57:47,360 --> 00:57:49,920 Speaker 7: you were going to get he they threw some deep balls, 1109 00:57:50,240 --> 00:57:52,560 Speaker 7: got nicked for a couple of big plays. Yeah, all 1110 00:57:52,600 --> 00:57:55,960 Speaker 7: in all, when it got close, the tyrod was not 1111 00:57:56,040 --> 00:57:58,280 Speaker 7: going to turn it over. He never does, and they 1112 00:57:58,280 --> 00:58:01,080 Speaker 7: didn't and pulled out the victory. 1113 00:58:01,840 --> 00:58:03,240 Speaker 2: Seal the deal. 1114 00:58:03,440 --> 00:58:04,080 Speaker 17: Seal the deal. 1115 00:58:04,120 --> 00:58:07,720 Speaker 18: We talk about the defense giving the offense a chance 1116 00:58:07,800 --> 00:58:10,360 Speaker 18: to win this one, and that's what they needed to do. 1117 00:58:10,800 --> 00:58:12,919 Speaker 18: At the end of the game with just a few 1118 00:58:12,920 --> 00:58:16,959 Speaker 18: minutes left on the clock. You need two big stops there, 1119 00:58:17,240 --> 00:58:20,240 Speaker 18: and they did exactly that with a five point leaders 1120 00:58:20,280 --> 00:58:23,440 Speaker 18: what the Bills had and almost four minutes left on 1121 00:58:23,480 --> 00:58:26,920 Speaker 18: the clock. So the defensive, the defense forces a turnover 1122 00:58:27,040 --> 00:58:30,080 Speaker 18: on downs, which was huge. The Giants try and convert 1123 00:58:30,120 --> 00:58:31,760 Speaker 18: a third and eight, then they try and go for 1124 00:58:31,800 --> 00:58:35,080 Speaker 18: a fourth and eight. Both were incomplete passes and give 1125 00:58:35,320 --> 00:58:37,960 Speaker 18: gives the offense the ball back, and fortunately that was 1126 00:58:38,000 --> 00:58:40,360 Speaker 18: a quick drive by the offense a missed field goal. 1127 00:58:40,400 --> 00:58:43,320 Speaker 18: So the Giants had one last drive to put some 1128 00:58:43,360 --> 00:58:46,240 Speaker 18: things together and try and beat the Bills. They get 1129 00:58:46,240 --> 00:58:49,640 Speaker 18: the ball on their thirty seven yard line. The Bills 1130 00:58:49,680 --> 00:58:52,760 Speaker 18: did unfortunately with that missed field goal. But the Giants 1131 00:58:52,800 --> 00:58:56,800 Speaker 18: then get a thirteen play drive going and you're thinking, Okay, 1132 00:58:56,880 --> 00:59:00,120 Speaker 18: what's gonna happen here. They've got some momentum the ar 1133 00:59:00,320 --> 00:59:02,840 Speaker 18: to move the ball. You have a first and goal 1134 00:59:02,920 --> 00:59:07,880 Speaker 18: situation with one final chance to score, and it did 1135 00:59:07,920 --> 00:59:11,360 Speaker 18: not happen. It did not happen because of Taron Johnson. 1136 00:59:11,440 --> 00:59:12,880 Speaker 18: And that is our next award. 1137 00:59:13,240 --> 00:59:16,520 Speaker 17: The Hunter. This guy is so underrated. 1138 00:59:16,560 --> 00:59:20,560 Speaker 18: He's made some huge plays in his Bill's career, whether 1139 00:59:20,600 --> 00:59:23,840 Speaker 18: it be a pick six, whether it be knocking the 1140 00:59:23,840 --> 00:59:26,840 Speaker 18: ball out of Darren Waller's hand. So the Bills win 1141 00:59:26,920 --> 00:59:30,840 Speaker 18: the game. Kudos to Taron Johnson for being in the moment, 1142 00:59:31,040 --> 00:59:34,120 Speaker 18: for being up for the challenge. Von Miller said in 1143 00:59:34,200 --> 00:59:38,920 Speaker 18: his postgame interview after the game, he said, I asked 1144 00:59:38,960 --> 00:59:41,760 Speaker 18: Taron Johnson on the sideline during the game what he 1145 00:59:41,880 --> 00:59:44,080 Speaker 18: was doing, because he was kind of just staring off 1146 00:59:44,120 --> 00:59:47,360 Speaker 18: into space looking at the ground, and Taron Johnson said, 1147 00:59:47,640 --> 00:59:50,920 Speaker 18: I'm envisioning making a game changing play at the end 1148 00:59:50,920 --> 00:59:54,640 Speaker 18: of this one, and that's exactly what he did. Arren 1149 00:59:54,680 --> 00:59:59,280 Speaker 18: Johnson five to eleven, Darren Waller six ' six, the 1150 00:59:59,320 --> 01:00:02,280 Speaker 18: five eleven guy knocks the ball out of the six 1151 01:00:02,360 --> 01:00:03,640 Speaker 18: to six guys hands. 1152 01:00:04,000 --> 01:00:07,120 Speaker 17: So what a great play by him to. 1153 01:00:09,080 --> 01:00:12,480 Speaker 18: Understand what was going on with that play, to understand 1154 01:00:12,560 --> 01:00:15,680 Speaker 18: who his guy was and what was asked of him 1155 01:00:15,720 --> 01:00:18,920 Speaker 18: in that moment with the game on the line, to 1156 01:00:19,040 --> 01:00:21,920 Speaker 18: come up with knocking the ball away with it being 1157 01:00:21,960 --> 01:00:25,280 Speaker 18: an incomplete pass. And the Bills get the win because 1158 01:00:25,280 --> 01:00:27,800 Speaker 18: of that final big play by Arren Johnson. 1159 01:00:28,080 --> 01:00:31,280 Speaker 7: And then then Bill struggled with the Giants who were 1160 01:00:31,360 --> 01:00:34,160 Speaker 7: now one and five. There were a couple of other 1161 01:00:34,240 --> 01:00:37,760 Speaker 7: teams who were considered contenders who also struggled, and you're 1162 01:00:37,800 --> 01:00:40,680 Speaker 7: giving out awards for that too, because hey, it's not 1163 01:00:40,760 --> 01:00:41,200 Speaker 7: just us. 1164 01:00:41,240 --> 01:00:44,120 Speaker 17: We got to talk about it. Upset City. 1165 01:00:44,320 --> 01:00:47,200 Speaker 18: That's going to the Browns and the Jets taking down 1166 01:00:47,200 --> 01:00:51,880 Speaker 18: the two remaining undefeated teams. And there were some pretty 1167 01:00:51,880 --> 01:00:54,800 Speaker 18: big upsets in yesterday's slate of games, and also some 1168 01:00:54,840 --> 01:00:56,360 Speaker 18: weird scores as well. 1169 01:00:56,400 --> 01:00:58,800 Speaker 17: This this week, Week six was a little bit weird. 1170 01:00:59,320 --> 01:01:01,480 Speaker 18: Thankfully, the bill end up getting the win in a 1171 01:01:01,520 --> 01:01:04,400 Speaker 18: low scoring game, but the Browns beat the forty nine 1172 01:01:04,480 --> 01:01:05,920 Speaker 18: Ers nineteen to seventeen. 1173 01:01:05,960 --> 01:01:06,240 Speaker 17: PJ. 1174 01:01:06,400 --> 01:01:08,720 Speaker 18: Walker started the game for the Browns and the forty 1175 01:01:08,840 --> 01:01:11,040 Speaker 18: nine Ers missed a forty one yard field goal with 1176 01:01:11,160 --> 01:01:13,760 Speaker 18: nine seconds left on the clock, and then the Jets 1177 01:01:14,120 --> 01:01:16,920 Speaker 18: upset the Eagles with the final score of twenty to fourteen. 1178 01:01:17,000 --> 01:01:21,680 Speaker 18: Jalen Hurts had three interceptions. On his final interception there 1179 01:01:21,760 --> 01:01:24,400 Speaker 18: was one minute and fifty seconds left to go in 1180 01:01:24,440 --> 01:01:27,480 Speaker 18: the game. The Jets turned the I int into points 1181 01:01:27,800 --> 01:01:31,160 Speaker 18: and got the lead with under two minutes left to play. 1182 01:01:31,640 --> 01:01:34,840 Speaker 18: The final drive for the Eagles I think was a 1183 01:01:34,880 --> 01:01:39,080 Speaker 18: turnover on downs. So the Jets and the Browns getting 1184 01:01:39,120 --> 01:01:40,360 Speaker 18: the job done. 1185 01:01:40,680 --> 01:01:44,080 Speaker 2: Even the Chiefs won ugly. Yeah yeah, the second time 1186 01:01:44,120 --> 01:01:44,760 Speaker 2: in three weeks. 1187 01:01:44,760 --> 01:01:47,080 Speaker 7: The Chiefs won out and also the Dolphins were down 1188 01:01:47,120 --> 01:01:49,600 Speaker 7: fourteen nothing before they came out and got things straightened 1189 01:01:49,640 --> 01:01:52,840 Speaker 7: out and hung forty on the Carolina Panthers. So it 1190 01:01:52,880 --> 01:01:54,680 Speaker 7: looked like one of the like something in the water 1191 01:01:55,360 --> 01:01:59,360 Speaker 7: this weekend.

It's a players league in 1238 01:04:04,720 --> 01:04:07,400 Speaker 19: players and need to make plays, but you still need 1239 01:04:07,400 --> 01:04:10,360 Speaker 19: to put players in good positions. He talked to somebody 1240 01:04:10,440 --> 01:04:14,200 Speaker 19: last week and he's talking about Kincaid not running through 1241 01:04:14,200 --> 01:04:17,000 Speaker 19: somebody in the flat. Well, that immediately tells me that's 1242 01:04:17,000 --> 01:04:20,160 Speaker 19: a bad play call because Dawson can care Dalton Kin 1243 01:04:20,200 --> 01:04:22,360 Speaker 19: Kate should be running straight up the seam and not 1244 01:04:22,520 --> 01:04:24,920 Speaker 19: on the flat. If you put him in a bad spot, 1245 01:04:25,400 --> 01:04:28,720 Speaker 19: then he can't perform to his to his max. 1246 01:04:29,040 --> 01:04:30,920 Speaker 7: And what makes you think wrong? What makes you think 1247 01:04:30,960 --> 01:04:34,160 Speaker 7: that a flat is a bad spot for Dalton Kid? 1248 01:04:35,560 --> 01:04:37,840 Speaker 19: This the same reason that the flat would be a 1249 01:04:37,840 --> 01:04:41,800 Speaker 19: bad spot for say On Beasley. That's not his strength. 1250 01:04:42,400 --> 01:04:45,000 Speaker 19: It's a bad spot because he should be running. 1251 01:04:44,720 --> 01:04:45,200 Speaker 20: Up the seam. 1252 01:04:45,560 --> 01:04:46,680 Speaker 21: That's where he's that's. 1253 01:04:46,480 --> 01:04:49,040 Speaker 10: Where he excels. That's where he excels. 1254 01:04:49,280 --> 01:04:52,720 Speaker 19: Secondarily, before you gotta get rid of me, we should 1255 01:04:52,800 --> 01:04:57,080 Speaker 19: not be praising this defense for stopping the Giants every 1256 01:04:57,120 --> 01:05:00,240 Speaker 19: team that they played this year. Except for one off 1257 01:05:00,320 --> 01:05:03,480 Speaker 19: the Giants. Their quarterbacks are horrible. They have a horrible 1258 01:05:03,720 --> 01:05:07,080 Speaker 19: offensive line that was missing three people. They brought a 1259 01:05:07,120 --> 01:05:10,040 Speaker 19: guy off the couch and we stopped the Giants. 1260 01:05:10,600 --> 01:05:11,240 Speaker 20: Of course we did. 1261 01:05:11,320 --> 01:05:12,000 Speaker 19: They're terrible. 1262 01:05:13,320 --> 01:05:15,920 Speaker 7: Okay, so they stink because they did it. 1263 01:05:17,800 --> 01:05:19,880 Speaker 21: Look, they did it because everybody does it. 1264 01:05:19,880 --> 01:05:21,440 Speaker 15: It's not to praise them because they did it. 1265 01:05:21,520 --> 01:05:23,800 Speaker 7: Right, Okay, So all right, so they all right, I 1266 01:05:23,800 --> 01:05:25,520 Speaker 7: don't know what you want us to say about the defense, 1267 01:05:25,560 --> 01:05:26,640 Speaker 7: then okay, go ahead. 1268 01:05:27,920 --> 01:05:30,480 Speaker 19: They did what they did what everybody does. Nothing special, 1269 01:05:30,520 --> 01:05:34,760 Speaker 19: they did what everybody does. The Cowboys put zero on them, 1270 01:05:34,840 --> 01:05:38,840 Speaker 19: everybody gets them. To that point, what what would we 1271 01:05:38,920 --> 01:05:40,760 Speaker 19: need to start putting players in good spots? We need 1272 01:05:40,760 --> 01:05:42,920 Speaker 19: to let Josh do his thing. If we continue to 1273 01:05:43,080 --> 01:05:45,000 Speaker 19: say that he as a pocket passer. You guys talked 1274 01:05:45,040 --> 01:05:46,720 Speaker 19: about it a couple of seconds ago. Why are they 1275 01:05:46,800 --> 01:05:49,360 Speaker 19: running two deep safeties because Josh ain't running? 1276 01:05:49,600 --> 01:05:50,160 Speaker 15: Who cares? 1277 01:05:50,440 --> 01:05:53,560 Speaker 19: Set everybody back because Josh won't run because our play 1278 01:05:53,600 --> 01:05:55,760 Speaker 19: call doesn't allow him to do what he does. He's 1279 01:05:55,800 --> 01:05:56,600 Speaker 19: a unicorn. 1280 01:05:56,880 --> 01:05:57,680 Speaker 20: Let him be that. 1281 01:05:58,360 --> 01:06:01,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I'm going to try to respect where 1282 01:06:01,080 --> 01:06:03,880 Speaker 2: you're coming from on that ron as far as the 1283 01:06:03,920 --> 01:06:07,520 Speaker 2: defense goes, you can't blame the Bills for who is 1284 01:06:07,560 --> 01:06:10,560 Speaker 2: on their schedule and who they have to play. The 1285 01:06:10,640 --> 01:06:14,040 Speaker 2: defense did what everybody else does. Okay, well, it was 1286 01:06:14,040 --> 01:06:16,120 Speaker 2: good enough to win a football game. They held him 1287 01:06:16,160 --> 01:06:18,560 Speaker 2: zero for five in the red zone. They did give 1288 01:06:18,640 --> 01:06:21,000 Speaker 2: up some yards, but it is what it is. As 1289 01:06:21,040 --> 01:06:24,240 Speaker 2: for the offense, if your tight end can't run a 1290 01:06:24,280 --> 01:06:28,400 Speaker 2: flat route, then you've got a problem. I understand wanting 1291 01:06:28,440 --> 01:06:31,240 Speaker 2: to put players in position to succeed, but the play 1292 01:06:31,240 --> 01:06:34,600 Speaker 2: that was called worked. He was open. They just have 1293 01:06:34,720 --> 01:06:38,600 Speaker 2: to execute the play. I mean, you can't take all 1294 01:06:38,640 --> 01:06:40,960 Speaker 2: of the blame off the players and put it all 1295 01:06:40,960 --> 01:06:41,960 Speaker 2: on the coordinates. 1296 01:06:42,280 --> 01:06:43,720 Speaker 7: Dalton Kin k is not going to be allowed to 1297 01:06:43,760 --> 01:06:45,720 Speaker 7: run any route other than a seam route right down 1298 01:06:45,720 --> 01:06:47,520 Speaker 7: the middle one hundred percent of the time, every. 1299 01:06:47,360 --> 01:06:49,520 Speaker 2: Single I would argue that seventy five percent of dalton 1300 01:06:49,560 --> 01:06:52,800 Speaker 2: kin Kay's catches this year have been outside the numbers 1301 01:06:53,160 --> 01:06:55,200 Speaker 2: because they try to take away the middle of the field, 1302 01:06:55,880 --> 01:06:59,880 Speaker 2: and that's what the Giants were doing also, So I mean, to. 1303 01:06:59,840 --> 01:07:02,680 Speaker 7: Me, I'm sorry that seemed like an overreaction that caller. 1304 01:07:02,840 --> 01:07:05,280 Speaker 7: That's a little bit of an overreaction. An overgeneralization of 1305 01:07:05,280 --> 01:07:08,480 Speaker 7: what's going on. Thanks for the call, and I know 1306 01:07:08,520 --> 01:07:11,480 Speaker 7: that it's I know that there's some things that and 1307 01:07:11,520 --> 01:07:14,400 Speaker 7: that was an ugly win, you know, no question about 1308 01:07:14,400 --> 01:07:17,560 Speaker 7: it was excruciating to watch. But I'll say it again, 1309 01:07:17,600 --> 01:07:19,600 Speaker 7: even after a win like that, and even after a 1310 01:07:19,640 --> 01:07:23,120 Speaker 7: loss like that, certainly you're gonna adjust, and you're gonna 1311 01:07:23,160 --> 01:07:25,400 Speaker 7: correct and you're gonna go move forward. The Bills have 1312 01:07:25,520 --> 01:07:28,040 Speaker 7: got to find a way to get a faster start 1313 01:07:28,080 --> 01:07:31,080 Speaker 7: to a game offensively. Last two games, it's been a problem. 1314 01:07:31,440 --> 01:07:33,160 Speaker 7: You can you can say what you want about jet 1315 01:07:33,200 --> 01:07:35,880 Speaker 7: lag and stuff in London. This one, I don't know 1316 01:07:35,880 --> 01:07:38,200 Speaker 7: that there's excuses for this one other than the fact 1317 01:07:38,240 --> 01:07:42,200 Speaker 7: that they should have called some pass interference on the 1318 01:07:42,240 --> 01:07:47,440 Speaker 7: tripping calls. Other than that, you're right, I'm not. This 1319 01:07:47,520 --> 01:07:50,960 Speaker 7: isn't This is the same offensive coaching staff that was 1320 01:07:51,520 --> 01:07:54,240 Speaker 7: that are hanging big points on other teams, and you 1321 01:07:54,320 --> 01:07:57,760 Speaker 7: run into a team like the Giants and they stone 1322 01:07:57,800 --> 01:08:00,360 Speaker 7: you for a couple of series. With a little help, 1323 01:08:01,400 --> 01:08:03,400 Speaker 7: you got to overcome it. I get it. And I 1324 01:08:03,440 --> 01:08:05,480 Speaker 7: know that everybody wants Josh to put this capon and 1325 01:08:05,480 --> 01:08:08,920 Speaker 7: spread his wings, but I'm telling you, the club is 1326 01:08:08,960 --> 01:08:11,560 Speaker 7: handling Josh the exact right way. You got to do it. 1327 01:08:11,800 --> 01:08:15,040 Speaker 7: Sooner or later, Josh Allen is gonna have to get 1328 01:08:15,040 --> 01:08:17,599 Speaker 7: some help from the guys who were playing offense with him. 1329 01:08:18,040 --> 01:08:21,320 Speaker 7: He cannot win the Super Bowl, he can't win a 1330 01:08:21,320 --> 01:08:23,840 Speaker 7: playoff game without help from the guys around him. You 1331 01:08:23,960 --> 01:08:25,080 Speaker 7: gotta cultivate that. 1332 01:08:25,160 --> 01:08:26,960 Speaker 2: You can't have it both ways. What was the complain 1333 01:08:27,000 --> 01:08:30,000 Speaker 2: of What was the complaint last year, Maddie, Josh is 1334 01:08:30,040 --> 01:08:32,920 Speaker 2: doing too much. Somebody else has got to help him out. 1335 01:08:32,960 --> 01:08:35,679 Speaker 2: He can't do it all by himself. We have callers 1336 01:08:35,720 --> 01:08:37,519 Speaker 2: callings say, and he can't do it all by himself. 1337 01:08:37,760 --> 01:08:41,080 Speaker 2: Now that they're trying to get other people involved, now 1338 01:08:41,080 --> 01:08:43,080 Speaker 2: it's like, hey, you got to let Josh be Josh. 1339 01:08:43,080 --> 01:08:44,719 Speaker 2: It's like, well, you can't have it both ways. 1340 01:08:44,920 --> 01:08:47,519 Speaker 18: On the broadcast last night, Mike Trico said, in their 1341 01:08:47,600 --> 01:08:50,800 Speaker 18: meeting with Josh Allen, Josh said, I'm not doing those 1342 01:08:50,840 --> 01:08:51,599 Speaker 18: things anymore. 1343 01:08:51,680 --> 01:08:53,000 Speaker 17: I'm not doing that anymore. 1344 01:08:53,120 --> 01:08:57,080 Speaker 18: I'm old enough, I'm wise enough, I'm smart enough in 1345 01:08:57,160 --> 01:08:59,559 Speaker 18: my years in the NFL and the experience that I 1346 01:08:59,640 --> 01:09:02,960 Speaker 18: have to know that I'm not gonna make those silly 1347 01:09:03,000 --> 01:09:07,240 Speaker 18: decisions anymore. I'm not going to be hero Josh every 1348 01:09:07,280 --> 01:09:09,439 Speaker 18: time I step on the field, because I know better 1349 01:09:09,479 --> 01:09:13,120 Speaker 18: than that. I know that I deserve to do that 1350 01:09:13,320 --> 01:09:15,559 Speaker 18: because of my team, because the guys on the field, 1351 01:09:15,600 --> 01:09:18,840 Speaker 18: I also need to get them involved in things. And 1352 01:09:18,840 --> 01:09:21,479 Speaker 18: and I've been hearing that from my coaches and the 1353 01:09:21,520 --> 01:09:24,280 Speaker 18: offensive coordinator that I need to operate in this way 1354 01:09:24,320 --> 01:09:27,519 Speaker 18: because that's that's what allows our offense to get going. 1355 01:09:27,960 --> 01:09:30,439 Speaker 18: Of course, Josh is gonna be Josh in the moments 1356 01:09:30,479 --> 01:09:32,960 Speaker 18: that he needs to be, and I think there's a 1357 01:09:33,040 --> 01:09:35,720 Speaker 18: window for him to do that. I don't think the 1358 01:09:35,720 --> 01:09:38,600 Speaker 18: offensive coordinator and Ken Dorsey or a head coach and 1359 01:09:38,680 --> 01:09:43,800 Speaker 18: Sean McDermott is tying Josh's hands behind his back and saying, Josh, 1360 01:09:43,840 --> 01:09:45,960 Speaker 18: You're not allowed to ever do any of this. It's 1361 01:09:46,040 --> 01:09:49,840 Speaker 18: just be smart within what is given to you, within 1362 01:09:50,479 --> 01:09:53,800 Speaker 18: the amount of time on the clock, or or in 1363 01:09:53,840 --> 01:09:57,120 Speaker 18: the quarter, or depending on what quarter it is, depending 1364 01:09:57,120 --> 01:09:59,479 Speaker 18: on what down in distance it is. There's all these 1365 01:09:59,800 --> 01:10:02,160 Speaker 18: things that you have to be aware of before you. 1366 01:10:02,160 --> 01:10:03,479 Speaker 17: Go and make decisions like this. 1367 01:10:03,920 --> 01:10:06,320 Speaker 18: And I think we've seen him do a great job 1368 01:10:07,520 --> 01:10:10,639 Speaker 18: after that first game this season of making the right 1369 01:10:10,680 --> 01:10:14,640 Speaker 18: decisions when it matters, and I think sure at some 1370 01:10:14,720 --> 01:10:17,120 Speaker 18: point we're gonna see Josh break one off for a run, 1371 01:10:17,160 --> 01:10:21,280 Speaker 18: and it's gonna be because he needed to and because 1372 01:10:21,320 --> 01:10:24,720 Speaker 18: the coaching staff is allowing him to decide to do 1373 01:10:24,800 --> 01:10:30,080 Speaker 18: what's best, knowing that, hey, he is, he's not a 1374 01:10:30,120 --> 01:10:33,479 Speaker 18: young quarterback anymore. He's been there, he's done that, he 1375 01:10:33,800 --> 01:10:38,519 Speaker 18: has grown, he's learned from his mistakes, and now we're seeing, 1376 01:10:39,560 --> 01:10:43,000 Speaker 18: hopefully the best version of himself as he continues to 1377 01:10:43,000 --> 01:10:43,960 Speaker 18: go throughout the season. 1378 01:10:45,160 --> 01:10:47,120 Speaker 2: Got a good update to pass along to you from 1379 01:10:47,280 --> 01:10:51,000 Speaker 2: ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. Damien Harris has been released from a 1380 01:10:51,040 --> 01:10:53,960 Speaker 2: local hospital here in Buffalo after being transported there last 1381 01:10:54,040 --> 01:10:57,439 Speaker 2: night with his neck injury. He has neck pain, but 1382 01:10:57,600 --> 01:11:01,080 Speaker 2: otherwise reports are he's going to be fine, So certainly 1383 01:11:01,080 --> 01:11:05,000 Speaker 2: good news on Damian Harris. Obviously, we'll see where things 1384 01:11:05,000 --> 01:11:08,240 Speaker 2: stand come Wednesday when the first injury report is put out, 1385 01:11:08,280 --> 01:11:10,200 Speaker 2: and maybe we get a further update from head coach 1386 01:11:10,240 --> 01:11:13,200 Speaker 2: Sean McDermott this afternoon when he addresses the media at 1387 01:11:13,240 --> 01:11:15,640 Speaker 2: four pm. Back to the phones and to Bill in 1388 01:11:15,720 --> 01:11:17,240 Speaker 2: New Jersey, next, what do you got for us? 1389 01:11:17,240 --> 01:11:18,880 Speaker 7: Bill? Oh? 1390 01:11:18,960 --> 01:11:20,920 Speaker 15: Yes, I was at the game. Last night, and now 1391 01:11:20,920 --> 01:11:23,960 Speaker 15: I'm driving back from Buffalo back to northern New Jersey. 1392 01:11:24,479 --> 01:11:26,639 Speaker 15: And let me tell you, those two mixed field goals 1393 01:11:26,720 --> 01:11:28,960 Speaker 15: that were aligned right by the Bills walk back some 1394 01:11:29,040 --> 01:11:31,479 Speaker 15: great memories. But that's not the reason for my call. 1395 01:11:32,040 --> 01:11:35,960 Speaker 15: The reason for my call is to disagree vmily with 1396 01:11:36,080 --> 01:11:39,040 Speaker 15: your interpretation of that of the last play of the game. 1397 01:11:39,560 --> 01:11:42,120 Speaker 15: The reason why Darren Waller cannot make a play on 1398 01:11:42,160 --> 01:11:46,320 Speaker 15: the ball there is because Tron Johnson is holding out 1399 01:11:46,320 --> 01:11:48,679 Speaker 15: in his left arm. I don't care if they call 1400 01:11:48,880 --> 01:11:51,639 Speaker 15: three plays three plays in a row pass there Faurus 1401 01:11:51,680 --> 01:11:54,839 Speaker 15: before that, you gotta call the fourth. That is blatant 1402 01:11:54,880 --> 01:11:58,160 Speaker 15: Holden who said it was Holden. You can't spend You 1403 01:11:58,200 --> 01:12:03,719 Speaker 15: can't spend twenty minutes going off on incidental the cornerback, 1404 01:12:03,760 --> 01:12:06,680 Speaker 15: you receiver getting their legs tangled out, and acknowledge the 1405 01:12:06,760 --> 01:12:08,880 Speaker 15: fact that there there should have been one more plans 1406 01:12:09,040 --> 01:12:11,800 Speaker 15: end of that game. You gotta watch the tape and 1407 01:12:11,800 --> 01:12:12,960 Speaker 15: get the correct interpretation. 1408 01:12:13,040 --> 01:12:14,680 Speaker 2: Well, I said he tugged on him a little bit. 1409 01:12:14,680 --> 01:12:16,760 Speaker 2: But the back judge who's making that call doesn't have 1410 01:12:16,800 --> 01:12:19,200 Speaker 2: a view of that. He can't see through Darren Waller 1411 01:12:19,200 --> 01:12:22,000 Speaker 2: to see what Taron Johnson's doing. So, you know you 1412 01:12:22,080 --> 01:12:24,200 Speaker 2: want to blame the back judge, I don't know how 1413 01:12:24,200 --> 01:12:27,000 Speaker 2: you can. He can't see Aaron Johnson tugging his jersey there. 1414 01:12:27,520 --> 01:12:28,559 Speaker 2: You know you can see that. 1415 01:12:28,640 --> 01:12:31,439 Speaker 7: And I'll say this, we're just watching it right now, Bill, 1416 01:12:31,479 --> 01:12:33,880 Speaker 7: and thanks for calling. We're watching it now. And I'm 1417 01:12:33,920 --> 01:12:36,160 Speaker 7: telling you, I don't think Waller could catch that ball. 1418 01:12:36,240 --> 01:12:37,280 Speaker 2: Period, wasn't even through. 1419 01:12:37,320 --> 01:12:39,200 Speaker 7: Even if Taron Johnson wasn't there. 1420 01:12:39,160 --> 01:12:41,200 Speaker 2: You got a six foot six I really don't think he. 1421 01:12:41,200 --> 01:12:43,880 Speaker 7: Could have caught it. But you're right if if you 1422 01:12:43,880 --> 01:12:46,040 Speaker 7: want to make those calls, you gotta make them. But 1423 01:12:46,040 --> 01:12:48,479 Speaker 7: if you're gonna make them, you gotta make them every play, 1424 01:12:48,600 --> 01:12:50,639 Speaker 7: not just on the goal line in the fourth quarter. 1425 01:12:51,040 --> 01:12:54,479 Speaker 7: And there's a ton of they don't call that stuff, 1426 01:12:54,560 --> 01:12:59,760 Speaker 7: and I get it, but I'll say this, leave me. 1427 01:12:59,800 --> 01:13:01,680 Speaker 7: We lived here for a lot of years. This is 1428 01:13:01,720 --> 01:13:04,080 Speaker 7: not the reason the Giants lost that game. The reason 1429 01:13:04,080 --> 01:13:07,040 Speaker 7: the Giants lost that game was the first half. Thing 1430 01:13:07,760 --> 01:13:08,559 Speaker 7: was the first half. 1431 01:13:08,520 --> 01:13:09,719 Speaker 2: Yeah, messing up the clock. 1432 01:13:09,920 --> 01:13:13,679 Speaker 7: Yes, I'm telling you, I don't believe Waller makes that play, 1433 01:13:13,720 --> 01:13:15,880 Speaker 7: even if Taron Johnson doesn't have a hold of his arm. 1434 01:13:16,320 --> 01:13:18,880 Speaker 7: But I know Giants fans don't want to hear it, 1435 01:13:18,920 --> 01:13:20,559 Speaker 7: and they got a beef. I get it. They've got 1436 01:13:20,600 --> 01:13:23,559 Speaker 7: a beef, no problem. I get it. It's a close 1437 01:13:23,640 --> 01:13:26,800 Speaker 7: game and there's probably ten plays in a game like 1438 01:13:26,840 --> 01:13:30,240 Speaker 7: this that would have made a difference for either team. Yeah, 1439 01:13:30,320 --> 01:13:33,280 Speaker 7: Giants fans got a beef with that last call. But 1440 01:13:33,400 --> 01:13:35,120 Speaker 7: even if they make the call, even if they make 1441 01:13:35,160 --> 01:13:37,200 Speaker 7: the penalty call, you still got to make another play 1442 01:13:37,600 --> 01:13:41,639 Speaker 7: and we will never know the results of that play. So, yeah, 1443 01:13:41,720 --> 01:13:43,960 Speaker 7: Giants fans, you got a beef, no problem. I don't 1444 01:13:43,960 --> 01:13:48,080 Speaker 7: have a problem with it. But for me, I don't 1445 01:13:48,080 --> 01:13:49,559 Speaker 7: know that. I don't think Waller is going to make 1446 01:13:49,600 --> 01:13:50,000 Speaker 7: that play. 1447 01:13:50,120 --> 01:13:53,040 Speaker 2: The officiating crew miscalls on both sides. I mean we 1448 01:13:53,080 --> 01:13:56,360 Speaker 2: can draw it's examples. Yes, where they failed to throw 1449 01:13:56,400 --> 01:13:58,679 Speaker 2: the flat we've been talking about. They should have thrown 1450 01:13:58,720 --> 01:14:02,360 Speaker 2: Leonard Williams out of the game. About that, yeah, I mean, no, 1451 01:14:02,560 --> 01:14:04,760 Speaker 2: just get to haul off on somebody after a play 1452 01:14:04,760 --> 01:14:07,040 Speaker 2: when flags have already thrown. I know he didn't throw 1453 01:14:07,080 --> 01:14:10,599 Speaker 2: a punch, but you can't throw a guy to the ground. Yeah, 1454 01:14:10,800 --> 01:14:14,439 Speaker 2: So you know, how about Kevon Thibodeau kicking Dion Dawkins 1455 01:14:14,479 --> 01:14:18,120 Speaker 2: repeatedly in the stomach with his cleats. Yeah, that's you 1456 01:14:18,200 --> 01:14:20,840 Speaker 2: starts to like conduct and an injectable of kicking a 1457 01:14:20,880 --> 01:14:22,800 Speaker 2: guy in the stomach with your cleats. I don't care 1458 01:14:22,800 --> 01:14:24,400 Speaker 2: if you're down on the ground, you kick a guy 1459 01:14:24,439 --> 01:14:27,240 Speaker 2: in the stomach with your cleats, that's ejectable. It's just 1460 01:14:27,280 --> 01:14:28,200 Speaker 2: as bad as a punch. 1461 01:14:28,439 --> 01:14:29,599 Speaker 7: Tell me it's not well. 1462 01:14:30,360 --> 01:14:34,480 Speaker 2: And then they flagg deon Dawkins for unsportsman like conduct. Unbelievable. 1463 01:14:34,960 --> 01:14:37,120 Speaker 7: It's gonna be interesting to see the fine schedule when 1464 01:14:37,120 --> 01:14:40,160 Speaker 7: it comes out, because there's gonna be multiple ones. I 1465 01:14:40,200 --> 01:14:42,000 Speaker 7: bet Dawkins gets fined, and I bet a couple of 1466 01:14:42,080 --> 01:14:44,960 Speaker 7: Giants get fined somebody, even Josh might get fined for 1467 01:14:45,000 --> 01:14:49,599 Speaker 7: coming in late on the on on okaake. Who knows. 1468 01:14:49,760 --> 01:14:51,719 Speaker 7: But they're all there's gonna be a ton of money 1469 01:14:51,760 --> 01:14:56,400 Speaker 7: spent on that little altercation the league. Yes, it's all, Yes, 1470 01:14:56,760 --> 01:14:58,519 Speaker 7: a ton of money. But as for you know, for 1471 01:14:58,560 --> 01:15:01,080 Speaker 7: Bill calling from New Jersey Giant fan came up for 1472 01:15:01,120 --> 01:15:04,600 Speaker 7: the game. You're right, the Giant fans do have a 1473 01:15:04,640 --> 01:15:09,920 Speaker 7: beef with that last call. But that's one of double 1474 01:15:09,960 --> 01:15:12,639 Speaker 7: digits in that game that could have gone either way, 1475 01:15:12,960 --> 01:15:15,759 Speaker 7: and a lot of them went against the Buffalo Bills, 1476 01:15:16,240 --> 01:15:19,519 Speaker 7: so it's one of those. We lived there and the 1477 01:15:19,520 --> 01:15:22,760 Speaker 7: Giant fans are living there this year.

I'm trying to be optimistic here. 1508 01:17:05,000 --> 01:17:07,240 Speaker 23: You know, you know people have been down on Dorsey 1509 01:17:07,320 --> 01:17:09,479 Speaker 23: and down on mcderim about play calls. But do you 1510 01:17:09,479 --> 01:17:12,439 Speaker 23: think just because it's week sick that we're just not 1511 01:17:12,560 --> 01:17:14,439 Speaker 23: diving into the back yet, you know, we're not getting 1512 01:17:14,479 --> 01:17:16,479 Speaker 23: creative or you know, because we don't want to show 1513 01:17:16,479 --> 01:17:19,080 Speaker 23: our hands. You know, we're very expulsive office. We're a 1514 01:17:19,080 --> 01:17:21,560 Speaker 23: top three offense and a top three dcard. So I 1515 01:17:21,640 --> 01:17:23,760 Speaker 23: kind of wanted to get your feelings. I appreciate you guys. 1516 01:17:23,800 --> 01:17:27,320 Speaker 23: What you guys do or go bells or happy happy Monday. 1517 01:17:27,520 --> 01:17:29,479 Speaker 2: All right, thanks Carl, appreciate the call you want to 1518 01:17:29,520 --> 01:17:30,240 Speaker 2: take that one, Steve. 1519 01:17:30,720 --> 01:17:32,680 Speaker 7: There's a lot in it, and there's a lot of 1520 01:17:32,720 --> 01:17:35,960 Speaker 7: possibilities that we don't know yet, or we'll probably never know. 1521 01:17:36,680 --> 01:17:39,880 Speaker 7: What kind of matchup the Giants defense presented to the 1522 01:17:39,880 --> 01:17:44,360 Speaker 7: Bills may dictate how it went, particularly with their top 1523 01:17:44,400 --> 01:17:46,040 Speaker 7: two one of their top two tight ends on the 1524 01:17:46,040 --> 01:17:50,360 Speaker 7: bench in Dalton kincaid, how that affected their game plan, 1525 01:17:50,520 --> 01:17:52,400 Speaker 7: what they really felt like they could do against a 1526 01:17:52,439 --> 01:17:57,360 Speaker 7: defense like that, and quite frankly, how the guys executed it, 1527 01:17:58,200 --> 01:18:02,320 Speaker 7: which guys Josh chose to throw to. And the running 1528 01:18:02,320 --> 01:18:05,920 Speaker 7: game showed up at times but then disappeared at times 1529 01:18:05,920 --> 01:18:08,080 Speaker 7: as well. So a lot of that stuff going on. 1530 01:18:08,800 --> 01:18:14,360 Speaker 7: It's interesting. I don't have a these coordinators in the NFL. 1531 01:18:14,439 --> 01:18:16,320 Speaker 7: Most people just think they sit up there and they 1532 01:18:16,320 --> 01:18:18,200 Speaker 7: think run or pass and let's let's see if we 1533 01:18:18,200 --> 01:18:20,200 Speaker 7: can throw it to this guy they've got. It's way 1534 01:18:20,240 --> 01:18:22,759 Speaker 7: more complicated than that. It goes way deeper than anybody 1535 01:18:22,840 --> 01:18:25,880 Speaker 7: gives it credit for. And some of the things that 1536 01:18:25,920 --> 01:18:29,240 Speaker 7: they do, and I'll admit some of the stuff they 1537 01:18:29,240 --> 01:18:31,360 Speaker 7: do is like what are you doing like running when 1538 01:18:31,400 --> 01:18:35,280 Speaker 7: it's a it's first and got it? Was it second? 1539 01:18:35,280 --> 01:18:38,160 Speaker 7: And goal in a foot to go and they line 1540 01:18:38,200 --> 01:18:40,320 Speaker 7: up in the shotgun. I was I was like, man, 1541 01:18:40,320 --> 01:18:43,080 Speaker 7: oh man, just that's when you just line up and 1542 01:18:43,120 --> 01:18:48,000 Speaker 7: have just push, you know, just get it in. Uh. 1543 01:18:48,040 --> 01:18:51,320 Speaker 7: That's the kind of stuff that bothers you. But even 1544 01:18:51,439 --> 01:18:55,680 Speaker 7: those plays, there's a lot in what you're asking your 1545 01:18:55,680 --> 01:18:59,760 Speaker 7: players to do, and it's just so hard to dissect 1546 01:19:00,240 --> 01:19:03,559 Speaker 7: the strategies and the reasons behind it because you've got 1547 01:19:03,840 --> 01:19:08,000 Speaker 7: personnel combinations, strengths and weaknesses that you're weighing. Plays that 1548 01:19:08,040 --> 01:19:10,120 Speaker 7: you want to try that you think are going to 1549 01:19:10,200 --> 01:19:13,880 Speaker 7: have an effect, like the orbit motion to hearty great 1550 01:19:13,920 --> 01:19:18,200 Speaker 7: call awesome. We all love it and it's all easy. 1551 01:19:18,840 --> 01:19:21,519 Speaker 7: But if it doesn't work, everybody's up in arms like 1552 01:19:21,680 --> 01:19:26,600 Speaker 7: you're a fool for trying that play. So I get it. 1553 01:19:27,800 --> 01:19:30,000 Speaker 7: We can sit here all day and talk and Sean McDermott, 1554 01:19:30,000 --> 01:19:31,240 Speaker 7: I mean, I don't know how you give up nine 1555 01:19:31,280 --> 01:19:34,799 Speaker 7: points to any NFL offense, don't give up a touchdown 1556 01:19:34,800 --> 01:19:39,439 Speaker 7: all night and have people criticize like saying you stink. 1557 01:19:39,760 --> 01:19:41,120 Speaker 7: I mean, I don't get that. 1558 01:19:41,120 --> 01:19:44,200 Speaker 2: That's what you're supposed to do. Everybody else is doing, right, Yeah, 1559 01:19:44,240 --> 01:19:46,240 Speaker 2: that's fine. So they did their jobs there. 1560 01:19:46,320 --> 01:19:47,800 Speaker 7: So they did their job, and they did it at 1561 01:19:47,800 --> 01:19:50,519 Speaker 7: a high level over in the red zone. And you 1562 01:19:50,600 --> 01:19:52,680 Speaker 7: got a quarterback. You're playing against the back of a 1563 01:19:52,720 --> 01:19:55,519 Speaker 7: quarterback that's known even in particularly in this town. You 1564 01:19:55,680 --> 01:19:58,679 Speaker 7: never you couldn't get any turnovers from those from those jokers, 1565 01:19:58,680 --> 01:19:59,800 Speaker 7: You're not they're not going to put the ball at 1566 01:19:59,840 --> 01:20:03,360 Speaker 7: risk at all. And then your your offense turns it 1567 01:20:03,400 --> 01:20:05,799 Speaker 7: over twice in the first half when. 1568 01:20:05,680 --> 01:20:07,479 Speaker 2: You had like special teams miss two field goals. 1569 01:20:07,520 --> 01:20:12,479 Speaker 7: You had like three possessions period in the first half. 1570 01:20:13,439 --> 01:20:17,479 Speaker 7: I mean, it's it's unbelievable. So it is a hard game. 1571 01:20:18,920 --> 01:20:21,040 Speaker 2: Back to the phones into Harry on a cell. What 1572 01:20:21,120 --> 01:20:21,960 Speaker 2: do you got for his Harry? 1573 01:20:23,240 --> 01:20:25,120 Speaker 21: You know, see, if you're telling people the truth and 1574 01:20:25,160 --> 01:20:30,120 Speaker 21: they're not listening to you, execution every drive. You can't 1575 01:20:30,200 --> 01:20:33,320 Speaker 21: look at three shutout quarters and say, oh that's Dorsey. 1576 01:20:33,640 --> 01:20:36,200 Speaker 21: You gotta look at every single drive and you got 1577 01:20:36,200 --> 01:20:40,519 Speaker 21: to find the drive killer. Drive one Diggs drops the ball, 1578 01:20:40,840 --> 01:20:45,880 Speaker 21: drive two uncalled pi drives, three game fumbles. There's always 1579 01:20:45,960 --> 01:20:48,680 Speaker 21: a drive killer. You know, the Bills were moving the 1580 01:20:48,720 --> 01:20:52,000 Speaker 21: ball but then something went wrong. That's what the what 1581 01:20:52,080 --> 01:20:56,000 Speaker 21: the problem is. It's not it's not everybody picking on Dorsey. 1582 01:20:56,040 --> 01:20:58,439 Speaker 21: I mean, Dorsey had a few if he calls, for sure, 1583 01:20:58,439 --> 01:21:02,000 Speaker 21: I'm not gonna say he didn't. But you gotta look 1584 01:21:02,000 --> 01:21:05,320 Speaker 21: at every drive just to understand what's happening on the field. 1585 01:21:05,760 --> 01:21:08,000 Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, you're right, and we talk about it a 1586 01:21:08,000 --> 01:21:10,719 Speaker 7: little bit, but yeah, the Gabe Davis fumble was huge. 1587 01:21:10,760 --> 01:21:13,880 Speaker 7: That the tripping calls that it didn't call were huge. 1588 01:21:14,240 --> 01:21:16,559 Speaker 7: And then you know, once you start getting into that, 1589 01:21:16,600 --> 01:21:18,840 Speaker 7: there's no telling where the game goes from there because 1590 01:21:18,840 --> 01:21:22,160 Speaker 7: it'll be first and ten on the on the you know, 1591 01:21:22,200 --> 01:21:25,920 Speaker 7: on the Giant forty two instead of you know, fourth 1592 01:21:26,000 --> 01:21:31,240 Speaker 7: and ten on the Bills thirty two. You know. So, yeah, 1593 01:21:31,280 --> 01:21:33,840 Speaker 7: you're right. Drive killers are really what you got to 1594 01:21:33,880 --> 01:21:37,040 Speaker 7: look at. I think when you the reasons you can't convert, 1595 01:21:37,080 --> 01:21:38,920 Speaker 7: and that's why third down is such a big down, 1596 01:21:39,280 --> 01:21:41,120 Speaker 7: and that's why teams that don't get into third down 1597 01:21:41,160 --> 01:21:43,120 Speaker 7: much and are getting first downs on first and second 1598 01:21:43,160 --> 01:21:45,360 Speaker 7: down are so prolific and it looks so easy. And 1599 01:21:45,360 --> 01:21:47,400 Speaker 7: the Bills have been there a couple of times this year. 1600 01:21:47,960 --> 01:21:51,840 Speaker 7: It's I agree with you the call. I agree with you. 1601 01:21:52,040 --> 01:21:54,400 Speaker 7: Drive killers are what I really look at as to 1602 01:21:54,439 --> 01:21:57,519 Speaker 7: why the offense looks off, it gets off to slow starts. 1603 01:21:57,760 --> 01:21:59,519 Speaker 7: What's getting them off the field? And a lot of 1604 01:21:59,520 --> 01:22:03,360 Speaker 7: times nothing to do with the play call. Every time 1605 01:22:03,360 --> 01:22:05,439 Speaker 7: you talking about though, like we just said, none of 1606 01:22:05,479 --> 01:22:05,840 Speaker 7: it has to. 1607 01:22:05,840 --> 01:22:07,880 Speaker 2: Do it, you have got a caller complaining that they're 1608 01:22:07,920 --> 01:22:10,439 Speaker 2: not having Dawson Knox run down the scene, which they 1609 01:22:10,439 --> 01:22:12,840 Speaker 2: think is his strength. How dare you run them out 1610 01:22:12,840 --> 01:22:15,559 Speaker 2: into the flat. You're not putting him in a position 1611 01:22:15,600 --> 01:22:18,040 Speaker 2: to succeed. Are you kidding me? The guy's wide open 1612 01:22:18,080 --> 01:22:20,439 Speaker 2: on a third and eight. Catch the ball. It's an 1613 01:22:20,479 --> 01:22:23,479 Speaker 2: execution issue. Don't put it on Dorsey. You gotta be 1614 01:22:23,560 --> 01:22:26,360 Speaker 2: kidding me. And I'll tell you right now, Dawson Knox 1615 01:22:26,400 --> 01:22:28,880 Speaker 2: would tell you the same exact thing, And Josh Allen 1616 01:22:28,960 --> 01:22:31,599 Speaker 2: said that very thing after the game. I gotta throw 1617 01:22:31,600 --> 01:22:34,559 Speaker 2: a better ball so Dawson can catch the ball. Guys, 1618 01:22:34,560 --> 01:22:37,800 Speaker 2: schemes wide open. You can't blame Dorsey on that one. 1619 01:22:37,840 --> 01:22:43,000 Speaker 2: I'm sorry, Kenny and Indiana. What do you got for us? Kenny? 1620 01:22:43,200 --> 01:22:43,720 Speaker 14: How you doing? 1621 01:22:43,760 --> 01:22:44,120 Speaker 9: Gentlemen? 1622 01:22:44,200 --> 01:22:44,800 Speaker 2: You all right? 1623 01:22:46,680 --> 01:22:49,120 Speaker 9: First of all, I want to say I will take 1624 01:22:49,160 --> 01:22:51,200 Speaker 9: the win. I'm going to be in the minority today. 1625 01:22:51,360 --> 01:22:54,000 Speaker 9: No gloom and doom here. I will take the win. 1626 01:22:54,160 --> 01:22:56,439 Speaker 9: It's a week to week league, but Bills know that 1627 01:22:56,479 --> 01:23:00,400 Speaker 9: we scored forty eight two weeks ago, so I'm fine 1628 01:23:00,400 --> 01:23:03,680 Speaker 9: with that. I'm worried about the team's psyche maybe a 1629 01:23:03,720 --> 01:23:06,360 Speaker 9: little bit. I mean, did you see Josh after the game, 1630 01:23:06,800 --> 01:23:09,400 Speaker 9: the way he was slumped over his face? You would 1631 01:23:09,400 --> 01:23:12,160 Speaker 9: never believe the Bills won. Yeah, I mean this is 1632 01:23:12,240 --> 01:23:14,599 Speaker 9: this game took a lot out of them, both physically 1633 01:23:14,720 --> 01:23:19,080 Speaker 9: and emotionally and mentally. And the thing is, next week, 1634 01:23:19,320 --> 01:23:21,599 Speaker 9: aren't we going into the same thing in New England? 1635 01:23:22,360 --> 01:23:26,120 Speaker 7: Well, the team with almost identical one run you're right, Yeah, 1636 01:23:26,080 --> 01:23:28,679 Speaker 7: an offense that's really struggling against a really good defense. 1637 01:23:29,680 --> 01:23:33,519 Speaker 9: Yeah. And what I'm worried about is another team desperately 1638 01:23:33,560 --> 01:23:36,599 Speaker 9: searching for answers. And I something in my gut, guys, 1639 01:23:36,960 --> 01:23:39,720 Speaker 9: something tells me the Patriots are going to change quarterbacks 1640 01:23:39,720 --> 01:23:42,080 Speaker 9: this week. And then aren't we looking at the exact 1641 01:23:42,120 --> 01:23:45,679 Speaker 9: same game, a new quarterback, a desperate team. How much 1642 01:23:45,760 --> 01:23:48,280 Speaker 9: can our team take of this? I mean, it's a 1643 01:23:48,280 --> 01:23:48,960 Speaker 9: lot to take. 1644 01:23:49,160 --> 01:23:51,439 Speaker 2: Well, you got to overcome it, Kenny. And now that's 1645 01:23:51,439 --> 01:23:54,759 Speaker 2: the bottom line. And as bad as the Patriots offense 1646 01:23:54,800 --> 01:23:57,920 Speaker 2: has been, which is twenty seventh in the league, thirty 1647 01:23:57,920 --> 01:24:02,000 Speaker 2: first in scoring, twenty fifth third down conversions, and twenty 1648 01:24:02,040 --> 01:24:05,360 Speaker 2: second in passing and twenty sixth in rushing. The bottom 1649 01:24:05,400 --> 01:24:08,559 Speaker 2: line is this, there's still a top ten defense despite 1650 01:24:08,600 --> 01:24:10,400 Speaker 2: the fact that they don't have their best pass rusher 1651 01:24:10,439 --> 01:24:13,040 Speaker 2: and Matthew Judon who's on injured reserve. They don't have 1652 01:24:13,080 --> 01:24:15,960 Speaker 2: their number one draft choice, Christian Gonzales, who has a 1653 01:24:15,960 --> 01:24:18,960 Speaker 2: shoulder injury and is out indefinitely, and yet there's still 1654 01:24:18,960 --> 01:24:21,280 Speaker 2: a top ten defense. They're tenth in the league and 1655 01:24:21,320 --> 01:24:23,680 Speaker 2: stopping teams on third down, and I would venture to 1656 01:24:23,720 --> 01:24:26,519 Speaker 2: guess they're pretty decent in red zone defense as well. 1657 01:24:26,840 --> 01:24:30,439 Speaker 2: They hold their team in games, and they're probably an 1658 01:24:30,479 --> 01:24:32,280 Speaker 2: even better defense than the Giants. 1659 01:24:33,000 --> 01:24:35,519 Speaker 7: Oh yes, I would say that is as well, very 1660 01:24:35,600 --> 01:24:38,280 Speaker 7: much so. They're more consistent than the Giants, and the 1661 01:24:38,320 --> 01:24:39,960 Speaker 7: Giants put out a good effort against the Bills, but 1662 01:24:40,000 --> 01:24:42,719 Speaker 7: they've you know, they've got lumped up while other teams 1663 01:24:42,720 --> 01:24:46,080 Speaker 7: in the league on their schedule and listen, you're right, 1664 01:24:46,800 --> 01:24:51,439 Speaker 7: everybody's you know, you take the win. It was an 1665 01:24:51,520 --> 01:24:53,439 Speaker 7: ugly win. You know, you'll take it. You're in the 1666 01:24:53,439 --> 01:24:55,439 Speaker 7: minority of saying, but here's the thing. When you get 1667 01:24:55,439 --> 01:24:58,240 Speaker 7: into games like this and positions like this in the league, 1668 01:24:58,280 --> 01:25:02,240 Speaker 7: and all are callers today, Let's face it. It was 1669 01:25:02,280 --> 01:25:05,040 Speaker 7: an ugly win, and we've seen this team play better 1670 01:25:05,040 --> 01:25:07,559 Speaker 7: and look better against what we would think would be 1671 01:25:07,560 --> 01:25:11,920 Speaker 7: better opponents, and everybody's calling it. Here's how you fix 1672 01:25:11,960 --> 01:25:15,120 Speaker 7: it right this. Let me let me figure this out 1673 01:25:15,120 --> 01:25:17,200 Speaker 7: for all of us. Brownie and I are doing it. 1674 01:25:17,240 --> 01:25:19,840 Speaker 7: All our callers will let me take the wheel. Let 1675 01:25:19,880 --> 01:25:24,559 Speaker 7: me fix this for you. Don't put Dalton Kincaid in 1676 01:25:24,600 --> 01:25:31,000 Speaker 7: the flat, don't don't you know, don't run it out 1677 01:25:31,040 --> 01:25:34,800 Speaker 7: of shotgun, don't all of this stuff. You know we 1678 01:25:34,840 --> 01:25:38,519 Speaker 7: all can fix it. Right back to more eleven perpony, 1679 01:25:38,640 --> 01:25:40,840 Speaker 7: come back to yeah, go back to eleven person. I'll 1680 01:25:40,880 --> 01:25:44,679 Speaker 7: go back to what we know we can. We're all 1681 01:25:44,680 --> 01:25:47,120 Speaker 7: trying to fix it today because we know they can 1682 01:25:47,160 --> 01:25:50,080 Speaker 7: play better, and so I get it. But that's where 1683 01:25:50,080 --> 01:25:52,559 Speaker 7: we're at. Right All the Bills fans are calling and say, guys, whoa, whoa, 1684 01:25:52,640 --> 01:25:57,560 Speaker 7: Just pump the brakes. Listen. Let you know you you 1685 01:25:57,640 --> 01:25:59,280 Speaker 7: gotta let them run the ball a little more, get 1686 01:25:59,320 --> 01:26:01,400 Speaker 7: a little more under center, some play action. You gotta 1687 01:26:01,439 --> 01:26:03,559 Speaker 7: do all that. You gotta hit, you gotta send you know, Dawson, 1688 01:26:04,080 --> 01:26:09,599 Speaker 7: all this stuff. That's it. But you're right. This next 1689 01:26:09,640 --> 01:26:13,080 Speaker 7: game is against a team with a very good copy, 1690 01:26:13,160 --> 01:26:16,280 Speaker 7: with a very good defense, desperate to get it together. 1691 01:26:16,320 --> 01:26:21,400 Speaker 7: On offense. Probably there's a chance you may see Bailey 1692 01:26:21,520 --> 01:26:22,559 Speaker 7: Zappi in the game. 1693 01:26:22,600 --> 01:26:25,120 Speaker 2: No, you're gonna see Malik cunning or Malik Cunningham in 1694 01:26:25,160 --> 01:26:26,920 Speaker 2: the game because he was in the game last week. 1695 01:26:27,160 --> 01:26:30,640 Speaker 2: They moved him in. You know, he's running direct snaps. 1696 01:26:30,920 --> 01:26:33,120 Speaker 2: I wouldn't be surprised if you see a little wildcat 1697 01:26:33,160 --> 01:26:36,679 Speaker 2: action he does. He can do more for the offense 1698 01:26:36,720 --> 01:26:39,800 Speaker 2: because he's a dual threat. Quarterback Mac Jones cannot. And 1699 01:26:39,880 --> 01:26:42,080 Speaker 2: that's how desperate Bill Belichick is right now. 1700 01:26:41,920 --> 01:26:43,800 Speaker 7: On I think they are too. I think they're gonna 1701 01:26:43,800 --> 01:26:46,400 Speaker 7: pull out all the stops. They may completely revamp and 1702 01:26:46,439 --> 01:26:48,600 Speaker 7: start over from scratch with a new quarterback and a 1703 01:26:48,640 --> 01:26:51,080 Speaker 7: new offensive philosophy and just start coming out. I mean, 1704 01:26:51,200 --> 01:26:53,920 Speaker 7: we may sing him in the wing te for goodness sake. Wow, 1705 01:26:54,160 --> 01:26:58,920 Speaker 7: So who knows, that's the kind of thing that the 1706 01:26:58,920 --> 01:27:03,080 Speaker 7: Patriots could. You could see him doing. But this game 1707 01:27:03,120 --> 01:27:05,559 Speaker 7: coming up this week on the road at one o'clock 1708 01:27:05,600 --> 01:27:08,000 Speaker 7: in the afternoon in New England. Should scare a lot 1709 01:27:08,040 --> 01:27:10,160 Speaker 7: of Bills fans because it's the defense it's hard to 1710 01:27:10,160 --> 01:27:10,639 Speaker 7: score on. 1711 01:27:10,760 --> 01:27:13,639 Speaker 2: New England number seven in the league in red zone defense, 1712 01:27:13,680 --> 01:27:16,200 Speaker 2: given up touchdowns forty five percent of the time. The 1713 01:27:16,200 --> 01:27:18,880 Speaker 2: Bill's the number four red zone defense in the league, 1714 01:27:19,240 --> 01:27:21,519 Speaker 2: giving up touchdowns thirty five percent of the time. So 1715 01:27:21,560 --> 01:27:23,760 Speaker 2: as bad as New England is, they're right there with 1716 01:27:23,800 --> 01:27:26,000 Speaker 2: Buffalo when it comes to red zone defense, and it's 1717 01:27:26,120 --> 01:27:30,200 Speaker 2: why they could potentially hold them in the game. We'll 1718 01:27:30,240 --> 01:27:32,599 Speaker 2: have to see. It's gonna be interesting this weekend for sure. 1719 01:27:32,960 --> 01:27:34,920 Speaker 2: Break time for us, but more of your phone calls 1720 01:27:34,920 --> 01:27:36,920 Speaker 2: when we return, So hang tight if you're hanging on 1721 01:27:36,960 --> 01:27:38,519 Speaker 2: there at eight h three ZHO five to fifty, we'll 1722 01:27:38,520 --> 01:27:40,320 Speaker 2: get to you when we return. Here on One Bill's Live, 1723 01:27:40,360 --> 01:28:06,120 Speaker 2: presented by Colida Health, It's Buffalo Bills Radio. Tea Master 1724 01:28:06,280 --> 01:28:08,880 Speaker 2: is the presenting sponsor of the Buffalo Bills twenty twenty 1725 01:28:08,920 --> 01:28:11,960 Speaker 2: three season. Ticketmaster, the official ticket marketplace of the NFL. 1726 01:28:12,080 --> 01:28:14,599 Speaker 2: Right back to the phones, we go into Matt in Rochester. 1727 01:28:14,720 --> 01:28:14,840 Speaker 24: Next. 1728 01:28:14,880 --> 01:28:17,879 Speaker 2: What you got for us, Matty? 1729 01:28:18,160 --> 01:28:20,720 Speaker 20: Yeah, So watching the game last night, I think my 1730 01:28:20,840 --> 01:28:25,760 Speaker 20: biggest thing is the players don't appear to be you know, 1731 01:28:27,040 --> 01:28:29,559 Speaker 20: they're just giving up on They don't seem to have 1732 01:28:29,640 --> 01:28:31,599 Speaker 20: much motivation on the sidelines or anything. 1733 01:28:31,640 --> 01:28:32,800 Speaker 24: I don't know if you guys noticed that. 1734 01:28:33,560 --> 01:28:35,320 Speaker 20: Uh, you know, And I don't know how we're gonna 1735 01:28:35,439 --> 01:28:37,880 Speaker 20: plan and go from here. Stefan Diggs looks to be 1736 01:28:37,920 --> 01:28:40,639 Speaker 20: like the only one to be carrying at this point. 1737 01:28:41,600 --> 01:28:42,680 Speaker 7: Yeah, I don't think. I don't know. 1738 01:28:42,760 --> 01:28:45,200 Speaker 2: I can't that's kind of a huge assumption. 1739 01:28:45,320 --> 01:28:47,200 Speaker 7: I don't know if I can agree with that in 1740 01:28:47,240 --> 01:28:50,080 Speaker 7: Matt because and I don't know what you're looking at, 1741 01:28:50,360 --> 01:28:56,080 Speaker 7: but you don't have a game like last night where 1742 01:28:56,120 --> 01:29:02,880 Speaker 7: you got guys fighting literally we got guys like on 1743 01:29:02,920 --> 01:29:06,080 Speaker 7: the edge of a fistfight who aren't engaged emotionally. So 1744 01:29:06,320 --> 01:29:10,519 Speaker 7: I'm whatever body language you're seeing and all that, I 1745 01:29:10,720 --> 01:29:12,920 Speaker 7: don't know that you're making an inference. It's just not 1746 01:29:13,000 --> 01:29:14,479 Speaker 7: there because I did not see that. 1747 01:29:15,120 --> 01:29:18,639 Speaker 2: Yeah, a lot of people see like a five second 1748 01:29:18,680 --> 01:29:23,080 Speaker 2: clip on the sideline and make an assumption like the 1749 01:29:23,080 --> 01:29:26,920 Speaker 2: one you're making. And as Josh Hallen pointed out last week, 1750 01:29:27,320 --> 01:29:30,519 Speaker 2: people thought Stefan Diggs was a problem on the sidelines 1751 01:29:30,560 --> 01:29:35,240 Speaker 2: at Jacksonville because he slammed down a Microsoft surface and 1752 01:29:35,680 --> 01:29:38,559 Speaker 2: he was actually just mad at himself for running the 1753 01:29:38,560 --> 01:29:41,200 Speaker 2: wrong release on a route on a play on the 1754 01:29:41,200 --> 01:29:45,880 Speaker 2: previous series. So have at it if you want to 1755 01:29:45,880 --> 01:29:49,680 Speaker 2: infer whatever you want, but often more often than not, 1756 01:29:49,760 --> 01:29:51,800 Speaker 2: what people interpret on the sidelines is wrong. 1757 01:29:51,880 --> 01:29:55,120 Speaker 7: Nine out of ten, you got to it. Yeah, I 1758 01:29:55,120 --> 01:29:56,559 Speaker 7: would agree with that. That's that's right. 1759 01:29:56,840 --> 01:29:59,920 Speaker 2: I mean, Von Diggs said it last week. You don't know. 1760 01:30:00,040 --> 01:30:01,879 Speaker 2: You just don't know what's going on on the sideline. 1761 01:30:02,000 --> 01:30:02,840 Speaker 2: You just don't. 1762 01:30:03,000 --> 01:30:05,120 Speaker 7: You see two guys yelling at each other and you 1763 01:30:05,160 --> 01:30:09,439 Speaker 7: think they're having an argument, and it's it can be 1764 01:30:09,479 --> 01:30:12,879 Speaker 7: part of an inside joke they where they have arguments. 1765 01:30:13,160 --> 01:30:17,000 Speaker 7: It really is. I mean, it's crazy stuff. Don't infer 1766 01:30:18,000 --> 01:30:20,920 Speaker 7: what you see on the sidelines as being self evident, 1767 01:30:21,640 --> 01:30:24,800 Speaker 7: because it's ninety nine percent of the time it's not. Yeah, 1768 01:30:24,960 --> 01:30:27,519 Speaker 7: it's not. Because these guys have relationships that go way 1769 01:30:27,600 --> 01:30:31,160 Speaker 7: beyond the field, way beyond the field. You know, their 1770 01:30:31,479 --> 01:30:34,559 Speaker 7: their wives or friends, their kids play together, their moms 1771 01:30:34,600 --> 01:30:37,120 Speaker 7: and dads know each other, they you know, and so 1772 01:30:37,200 --> 01:30:40,639 Speaker 7: they they've got relationships go far beyond any heated moment 1773 01:30:40,720 --> 01:30:45,080 Speaker 7: on the sideline, So don't it's it's really a mistake 1774 01:30:45,160 --> 01:30:51,080 Speaker 7: to infer any greater problems or or benefits from a 1775 01:30:51,120 --> 01:30:55,599 Speaker 7: sideline interaction. Don't. Don't think that it's anything that's self evident, 1776 01:30:55,720 --> 01:30:57,880 Speaker 7: because there's a lot in those relationships. 1777 01:30:58,120 --> 01:30:59,840 Speaker 2: Let's go to Bob and Lancaster next. 1778 01:31:00,040 --> 01:31:03,679 Speaker 24: Yeah, bout hey, how are you? Thank you for taking 1779 01:31:03,680 --> 01:31:06,320 Speaker 24: the call? You know, I just finished listened to the 1780 01:31:06,400 --> 01:31:12,519 Speaker 24: last caller and he's talking about game time, and I 1781 01:31:12,800 --> 01:31:15,800 Speaker 24: have something more to say about not in the game, 1782 01:31:15,840 --> 01:31:19,439 Speaker 24: but in the in the background. But first I wanted 1783 01:31:19,439 --> 01:31:24,599 Speaker 24: to mention something about, you know, penalties, and I think 1784 01:31:24,640 --> 01:31:27,360 Speaker 24: a lot of people have done that already, but you know, 1785 01:31:27,479 --> 01:31:31,600 Speaker 24: situational awareness is something that just cannot be overlooked. You 1786 01:31:31,720 --> 01:31:35,360 Speaker 24: just can't grab a jersey. It's like in basketball when 1787 01:31:35,520 --> 01:31:38,840 Speaker 24: you know, I played that and you're you're up by 1788 01:31:38,880 --> 01:31:40,920 Speaker 24: two when you fell fell a guy on their way 1789 01:31:41,360 --> 01:31:44,040 Speaker 24: to the rim, you know, and give him a chance 1790 01:31:44,080 --> 01:31:48,640 Speaker 24: to win by by one. And that's one thing, And 1791 01:31:48,720 --> 01:31:50,320 Speaker 24: then the other thing is, you know, I watched the 1792 01:31:50,320 --> 01:31:54,479 Speaker 24: whole game, I saw the post game, and I'm kind 1793 01:31:54,479 --> 01:31:56,720 Speaker 24: of a little a student of body language, and I 1794 01:31:56,760 --> 01:32:01,240 Speaker 24: was watching after the game the players talk about, you know, 1795 01:32:01,320 --> 01:32:03,960 Speaker 24: what happened and what's going on, and they kind of 1796 01:32:03,960 --> 01:32:07,280 Speaker 24: told the party line, which is important on the offense, 1797 01:32:08,000 --> 01:32:10,160 Speaker 24: you know, you pick up the D and vice versa. 1798 01:32:10,280 --> 01:32:12,519 Speaker 24: But the key thing for me and I don't have 1799 01:32:12,520 --> 01:32:15,120 Speaker 24: any insight into the into the locker room and what 1800 01:32:15,240 --> 01:32:19,479 Speaker 24: goes on before behind the game. But you know when 1801 01:32:19,600 --> 01:32:22,639 Speaker 24: Josh and Coach McDermott are both saying the same thing, 1802 01:32:23,240 --> 01:32:25,400 Speaker 24: that they go through the first two or three quarters 1803 01:32:25,640 --> 01:32:28,799 Speaker 24: and there's you know, they're flat. They come out flat, 1804 01:32:29,240 --> 01:32:32,800 Speaker 24: and then with a little bit of effort late in 1805 01:32:32,800 --> 01:32:35,599 Speaker 24: the game they'll either come close to winning, which happened 1806 01:32:35,600 --> 01:32:41,000 Speaker 24: out in the UK, or or actually win has happened here. 1807 01:32:42,280 --> 01:32:47,400 Speaker 24: That's just something that really can't happen without something else 1808 01:32:47,479 --> 01:32:50,800 Speaker 24: going on behind the scenes that people may not be 1809 01:32:51,160 --> 01:32:54,880 Speaker 24: understanding or realizing. You don't come out game after game 1810 01:32:55,479 --> 01:32:59,080 Speaker 24: and spend half the game playing flat. Mistakes are going 1811 01:32:59,120 --> 01:33:02,320 Speaker 24: to be made. Let's face but that that to me, 1812 01:33:02,960 --> 01:33:05,680 Speaker 24: uh smacks of something else going on. 1813 01:33:06,200 --> 01:33:06,960 Speaker 2: Why do you think it is? 1814 01:33:07,080 --> 01:33:10,120 Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, but you're right, I don't know, you. 1815 01:33:10,040 --> 01:33:14,599 Speaker 24: Know, maybe maybe there's some some interaction between the backs 1816 01:33:14,640 --> 01:33:18,640 Speaker 24: and so forth, you know, with with Diggs and you know, 1817 01:33:18,840 --> 01:33:21,960 Speaker 24: there's no way of someone like myself. You guys have 1818 01:33:21,960 --> 01:33:24,519 Speaker 24: a better insight and other people that spend time with 1819 01:33:24,560 --> 01:33:29,439 Speaker 24: the team behind the scenes, but something psychologically is going on. 1820 01:33:29,880 --> 01:33:32,160 Speaker 24: At one point I thought it might have been you know, 1821 01:33:32,400 --> 01:33:37,080 Speaker 24: uh the the uh bad injuries and so forth. But no, 1822 01:33:37,800 --> 01:33:40,360 Speaker 24: there's too much talent on this team. There's you know, execution. 1823 01:33:40,560 --> 01:33:44,600 Speaker 24: All these kinds of things can happen as as you know, 1824 01:33:44,680 --> 01:33:48,320 Speaker 24: games go in and out. But when you talk about 1825 01:33:48,360 --> 01:33:51,120 Speaker 24: as as the quarterback coming out flat for two and 1826 01:33:51,120 --> 01:33:53,200 Speaker 24: three quarters, and mc dermot said basically the same thing, 1827 01:33:53,240 --> 01:33:56,680 Speaker 24: we got to analyze why that is. I I like 1828 01:33:56,760 --> 01:33:59,320 Speaker 24: to think that there's a lack of some passion coming 1829 01:33:59,320 --> 01:34:01,519 Speaker 24: out of the out of the locker room in the 1830 01:34:01,520 --> 01:34:04,439 Speaker 24: first half that you know, kind of men's itself to 1831 01:34:04,479 --> 01:34:07,280 Speaker 24: some extent in the second half, but in the first 1832 01:34:07,280 --> 01:34:11,040 Speaker 24: half of the game, that's just not acceptable. And if 1833 01:34:11,040 --> 01:34:13,759 Speaker 24: that's the trend, then then they're gonna have a problem 1834 01:34:13,840 --> 01:34:15,879 Speaker 24: with bad teams anyway. 1835 01:34:15,960 --> 01:34:18,160 Speaker 7: Yeah, you're right, Bob, and thanks for the call. That's 1836 01:34:18,200 --> 01:34:19,880 Speaker 7: you're right. There's a lot in that and you're right, 1837 01:34:19,960 --> 01:34:22,479 Speaker 7: coming out flat one game when you think it's jet 1838 01:34:22,600 --> 01:34:26,400 Speaker 7: lag is one thing, but now coming out a second game, 1839 01:34:26,439 --> 01:34:28,200 Speaker 7: then you started to think, Okay, what are we doing here? 1840 01:34:28,240 --> 01:34:30,880 Speaker 7: What's going on, particularly against an inferior opponent like the 1841 01:34:30,880 --> 01:34:35,160 Speaker 7: Giants were purported to be. Yeah, I get all of that, 1842 01:34:35,760 --> 01:34:38,080 Speaker 7: no question, And certainly, and I'll say this too, you're 1843 01:34:38,160 --> 01:34:40,719 Speaker 7: right about body language of Josh was beat up last 1844 01:34:40,800 --> 01:34:44,040 Speaker 7: night after the game. He was down and he didn't look. 1845 01:34:43,920 --> 01:34:45,800 Speaker 2: As he knows he let down his defense, and he 1846 01:34:45,880 --> 01:34:47,880 Speaker 2: said as much in the locker room. Guys, I'm sorry 1847 01:34:47,880 --> 01:34:50,000 Speaker 2: we weren't better for you. We'll be better next time. 1848 01:34:50,320 --> 01:34:54,360 Speaker 2: He apologized to the defense. He's exasperated and down because 1849 01:34:54,400 --> 01:34:56,519 Speaker 2: he felt they didn't do enough to win the football 1850 01:34:56,560 --> 01:34:58,360 Speaker 2: game and too much of the burden was put on 1851 01:34:58,400 --> 01:35:01,280 Speaker 2: the defense. That's what it's about as far as but. 1852 01:35:01,240 --> 01:35:04,720 Speaker 7: I don't think there's anything like I don't know when 1853 01:35:04,720 --> 01:35:06,679 Speaker 7: everybody talks about the emotion of the team and they're 1854 01:35:06,680 --> 01:35:08,120 Speaker 7: coming out flat and Steven he goes, I don't know 1855 01:35:08,120 --> 01:35:11,320 Speaker 7: if and they always mentioned Digs and like it's like 1856 01:35:11,400 --> 01:35:13,920 Speaker 7: somehow or some way, Digs is the guy who's listen. 1857 01:35:14,360 --> 01:35:18,920 Speaker 7: Steph Diggs is a positive on the field, in the 1858 01:35:18,920 --> 01:35:22,960 Speaker 7: locker room, on the sideline. These guys love that guy. 1859 01:35:23,280 --> 01:35:26,720 Speaker 7: Josh loves him. They are close. He's walking up and 1860 01:35:26,760 --> 01:35:30,200 Speaker 7: down the talking to these guys. He is not letting up. 1861 01:35:30,320 --> 01:35:34,360 Speaker 7: And even better, he backs it up on the field. 1862 01:35:35,640 --> 01:35:38,720 Speaker 7: That guy is there all the time. And you want 1863 01:35:38,720 --> 01:35:41,719 Speaker 7: to know a better reason why that guy's the focal 1864 01:35:41,760 --> 01:35:45,040 Speaker 7: point of the offense. It's that right there. Now, some 1865 01:35:45,120 --> 01:35:48,879 Speaker 7: other guys could do the same and start to emulate 1866 01:35:48,920 --> 01:35:51,080 Speaker 7: that or start to be inspired by that and act 1867 01:35:51,200 --> 01:35:55,280 Speaker 7: like that. That's a good thing. But you know, you've 1868 01:35:55,280 --> 01:35:59,200 Speaker 7: got some guys on this team that are well, all 1869 01:35:59,240 --> 01:36:03,080 Speaker 7: these guys are one hundred percent invested, and it's easy 1870 01:36:03,080 --> 01:36:05,559 Speaker 7: to come out and say, well, they're starting slow. And listen, 1871 01:36:06,280 --> 01:36:10,920 Speaker 7: they started slow when the ball got punched out, a 1872 01:36:11,000 --> 01:36:13,280 Speaker 7: guy got tripped on a play that he was wide open. 1873 01:36:13,400 --> 01:36:15,519 Speaker 7: All of a sudden two series in you're off to 1874 01:36:15,560 --> 01:36:18,880 Speaker 7: a slow start again when the drive killers weren't even 1875 01:36:18,920 --> 01:36:23,040 Speaker 7: your fault. So well, the punch out was. But so 1876 01:36:23,120 --> 01:36:29,280 Speaker 7: there you go. Don't widen the problems when they're pretty 1877 01:36:29,280 --> 01:36:31,879 Speaker 7: specific on a certain play and aren't related. 1878 01:36:32,400 --> 01:36:35,520 Speaker 2: I'm just gonna say this. People want to create conspiracy 1879 01:36:35,560 --> 01:36:37,720 Speaker 2: theories that there's something else wrong as to why they're 1880 01:36:37,720 --> 01:36:40,360 Speaker 2: coming out flat in a football game. Have at it. 1881 01:36:40,680 --> 01:36:43,760 Speaker 2: I'm just gonna say this, all right, I've covered this 1882 01:36:43,800 --> 01:36:47,680 Speaker 2: team for a long time, A long time. I have 1883 01:36:47,880 --> 01:36:53,320 Speaker 2: seen cancerous locker rooms here in Orchard Park, locker rooms 1884 01:36:53,320 --> 01:36:58,040 Speaker 2: where the offense won't even talk to the defense. I 1885 01:36:58,080 --> 01:37:00,639 Speaker 2: don't know if I've seen a closer in locker room 1886 01:37:00,680 --> 01:37:04,240 Speaker 2: than this one. So to insinuate that something else is 1887 01:37:04,280 --> 01:37:07,439 Speaker 2: going on, to me, you're throwing darts. This is a 1888 01:37:07,479 --> 01:37:10,559 Speaker 2: team that genuinely loves each other. And if you don't 1889 01:37:10,560 --> 01:37:13,360 Speaker 2: believe it, look at what happened last night when Damian 1890 01:37:13,400 --> 01:37:15,720 Speaker 2: Harris gets loaded into an ambulance. He just got here 1891 01:37:15,760 --> 01:37:19,280 Speaker 2: five months ago, and that guy's beloved in that locker room. 1892 01:37:19,439 --> 01:37:22,000 Speaker 2: Why because of the culture that Sean McDermott is created, 1893 01:37:22,960 --> 01:37:25,000 Speaker 2: do they want to fix the problems that are ailing 1894 01:37:25,040 --> 01:37:27,439 Speaker 2: their offense? You're damn right they do. Is there some 1895 01:37:27,640 --> 01:37:32,000 Speaker 2: underlying thing? This deep seated? I mean, I mean, it's 1896 01:37:32,000 --> 01:37:34,280 Speaker 2: like we got think tanks out here trying to find 1897 01:37:34,280 --> 01:37:36,439 Speaker 2: out what the heck's wrong with the team. It's simple, 1898 01:37:37,200 --> 01:37:39,439 Speaker 2: they're not getting off to good starts. They're having trouble 1899 01:37:39,439 --> 01:37:42,720 Speaker 2: getting kicked into a rhythm early. There is no underlying 1900 01:37:42,880 --> 01:37:47,320 Speaker 2: thing that's a cancer for this football team. It's a 1901 01:37:47,320 --> 01:37:49,840 Speaker 2: good locker room. It's a strong locker room. They all 1902 01:37:49,880 --> 01:37:52,280 Speaker 2: love each other, they're all pulling on the same rope. 1903 01:37:52,320 --> 01:37:55,320 Speaker 2: It's just not working right now. They'll figure it out. 1904 01:37:54,920 --> 01:37:58,120 Speaker 2: If you want to not a locker room mission, come 1905 01:37:58,160 --> 01:37:58,639 Speaker 2: on with that. 1906 01:37:58,640 --> 01:38:01,599 Speaker 7: It's not play calling all. It's not Ken Dorsey's play 1907 01:38:01,600 --> 01:38:03,400 Speaker 7: can if you want to get on the coaching staff 1908 01:38:03,400 --> 01:38:06,640 Speaker 7: for anything. It's letting these guys show up flat. And that, 1909 01:38:06,880 --> 01:38:10,360 Speaker 7: to me is also about player leadership. It's Josh, it's 1910 01:38:10,400 --> 01:38:14,360 Speaker 7: Steph Diggs, It's Mitch Morris, it's Micah High, Jordan Poyer, 1911 01:38:14,680 --> 01:38:16,639 Speaker 7: it's those guys out there. And let's face it, Matt 1912 01:38:16,680 --> 01:38:18,960 Speaker 7: Mulano's not there. Maybe he was a little bit more 1913 01:38:18,960 --> 01:38:21,400 Speaker 7: prominent than we thought. They're still you know, they're still 1914 01:38:21,439 --> 01:38:24,479 Speaker 7: without Tremaine Edmonds. Was a guy in that locker room, 1915 01:38:24,479 --> 01:38:26,960 Speaker 7: guy's rally around. Well, they're you know now there. It's 1916 01:38:27,000 --> 01:38:30,720 Speaker 7: different and there's maybe strung. Although defensively they seem to 1917 01:38:30,720 --> 01:38:32,519 Speaker 7: be bringing the heat just like they always have. And 1918 01:38:32,640 --> 01:38:35,360 Speaker 7: Vaughan is now back in the mix. He'll help as well. 1919 01:38:36,080 --> 01:38:39,040 Speaker 7: But when you're when you're talking about emotional content, as 1920 01:38:39,040 --> 01:38:41,880 Speaker 7: some people are, because it slow starts. Because that's what 1921 01:38:41,920 --> 01:38:47,560 Speaker 7: it looks like. You're talking about player leadership. This isn't you. 1922 01:38:47,560 --> 01:38:49,479 Speaker 7: You don't go in the locker room and give a 1923 01:38:49,520 --> 01:38:56,280 Speaker 7: pep talk before the that's that's youth football stuff. It 1924 01:38:56,320 --> 01:39:01,760 Speaker 7: doesn't fly in professional football. Your motivating Each guy is 1925 01:39:01,840 --> 01:39:05,120 Speaker 7: motivated from inside. So if you don't have enough guys 1926 01:39:05,120 --> 01:39:07,760 Speaker 7: who are playing at a fervent level, that's on you 1927 01:39:07,800 --> 01:39:08,559 Speaker 7: for picking those guys. 1928 01:39:08,560 --> 01:39:11,960 Speaker 2: Sean McDermott doesn't pick those players, doesn't have him on 1929 01:39:12,000 --> 01:39:13,840 Speaker 2: his roster, right, and if he finds out he does, 1930 01:39:13,880 --> 01:39:17,439 Speaker 2: they're not here long, right. So that's why I'm saying 1931 01:39:17,560 --> 01:39:21,040 Speaker 2: that that conspiracy theory, that there's some underlying thing going 1932 01:39:21,040 --> 01:39:23,120 Speaker 2: on lock it's I mean, it couldn't be more off 1933 01:39:23,120 --> 01:39:25,240 Speaker 2: base with the kind of players they bring in here 1934 01:39:25,280 --> 01:39:26,000 Speaker 2: in the first place. 1935 01:39:26,200 --> 01:39:26,599 Speaker 7: That's right. 1936 01:39:27,000 --> 01:39:29,280 Speaker 2: They're busting their ass to try to win football games. 1937 01:39:29,320 --> 01:39:33,920 Speaker 7: Yeah, don't come on, don't overreach trying to generalize that 1938 01:39:33,960 --> 01:39:39,040 Speaker 7: there's some dark cloud keeping this team from getting off 1939 01:39:39,040 --> 01:39:41,880 Speaker 7: to a fast start offensively. What it is is a 1940 01:39:41,960 --> 01:39:44,120 Speaker 7: lack of execution on plays that they have made in 1941 01:39:44,160 --> 01:39:46,200 Speaker 7: the past that we've seen and expect them to make. 1942 01:39:46,600 --> 01:39:48,479 Speaker 2: And they'll work to get better this week and try 1943 01:39:48,479 --> 01:39:50,519 Speaker 2: to play better this next week. And if it doesn't work, 1944 01:39:50,560 --> 01:39:52,760 Speaker 2: they'll keep working on it. I mean, look, we all 1945 01:39:52,760 --> 01:39:55,599 Speaker 2: want him to find solutions. They do more than anybody else. Yeah, 1946 01:39:55,640 --> 01:39:57,880 Speaker 2: and they will so so we'll see. We got to 1947 01:39:57,920 --> 01:40:00,000 Speaker 2: take a break here. We got Eric Wood coming up now. 1948 01:40:00,160 --> 01:40:02,840 Speaker 2: We'll have him lend his thoughts on what he saw 1949 01:40:03,080 --> 01:40:05,280 Speaker 2: in last night's game from the broadcast booth. Next here 1950 01:40:05,280 --> 01:40:07,200 Speaker 2: on one Bill's Live and our number three stay. 1951 01:40:07,040 --> 01:40:56,439 Speaker 1: Tuned the one Bills Live presented by Calida Health. 1952 01:40:57,680 --> 01:41:00,519 Speaker 2: All right, here we are our number three, Chris Brown, 1953 01:41:00,560 --> 01:41:03,639 Speaker 2: Steve Tasker with you, and every Monday at this time 1954 01:41:04,040 --> 01:41:07,240 Speaker 2: we welcome in my broadcast partner on the Bills Radio Network, 1955 01:41:07,280 --> 01:41:10,320 Speaker 2: one Eric Wood, joining us to lend us some of 1956 01:41:10,320 --> 01:41:16,320 Speaker 2: his thoughts on last night's slogfest through the offensive first half. 1957 01:41:16,400 --> 01:41:19,679 Speaker 2: My gosh, that was like dragging a bob sled through 1958 01:41:19,720 --> 01:41:23,280 Speaker 2: the mud. Just could not get anything going with any 1959 01:41:23,280 --> 01:41:24,640 Speaker 2: semblance of consistency. 1960 01:41:24,760 --> 01:41:24,960 Speaker 7: Eric. 1961 01:41:25,720 --> 01:41:29,920 Speaker 2: Fortunately it does not cost them because the defense held 1962 01:41:30,000 --> 01:41:32,400 Speaker 2: up and held firm, particularly in the red zone. We'll 1963 01:41:32,400 --> 01:41:35,479 Speaker 2: get to that in a second, what can you put 1964 01:41:35,560 --> 01:41:39,360 Speaker 2: your finger on as to what is keeping Buffalo's offense 1965 01:41:39,479 --> 01:41:42,559 Speaker 2: from getting into the kind of rhythm we witnessed on 1966 01:41:42,640 --> 01:41:45,240 Speaker 2: their three game winning streak from week two to week four. 1967 01:41:45,360 --> 01:41:50,080 Speaker 5: If anything, Yeah, I mean it's hard to pinpoint exactly 1968 01:41:50,160 --> 01:41:52,880 Speaker 5: what it is, but to me, it seems like early 1969 01:41:52,920 --> 01:41:55,880 Speaker 5: in the games they're just not executing at a high 1970 01:41:56,000 --> 01:42:00,640 Speaker 5: enough level and consistently enough, which shouldn't be the issue. 1971 01:42:00,320 --> 01:42:01,519 Speaker 4: With a veteran squad. 1972 01:42:01,760 --> 01:42:04,720 Speaker 5: Is as much experience as you have at quarterback, at 1973 01:42:04,760 --> 01:42:07,519 Speaker 5: receiver and a number of spots that that shouldn't be 1974 01:42:07,560 --> 01:42:11,120 Speaker 5: the case where you're starting slow on a pretty consistent basis. 1975 01:42:11,160 --> 01:42:13,599 Speaker 5: When you look at you know, fifty percent of the games, 1976 01:42:13,640 --> 01:42:17,160 Speaker 5: they've started pretty slow this year, and so especially these 1977 01:42:17,240 --> 01:42:18,040 Speaker 5: last two weeks. 1978 01:42:18,080 --> 01:42:19,320 Speaker 4: When you look at what. 1979 01:42:19,479 --> 01:42:23,519 Speaker 5: Hurt them early in games, you know, it's it's drops. 1980 01:42:23,560 --> 01:42:26,040 Speaker 5: And a lot of this happens on third down where 1981 01:42:26,040 --> 01:42:29,600 Speaker 5: they didn't execute up until this point. But it's it's drops. 1982 01:42:29,640 --> 01:42:33,639 Speaker 5: It's you know, receivers falling or you know, you got 1983 01:42:33,640 --> 01:42:36,320 Speaker 5: the questionable pos or whatever it is down the field 1984 01:42:36,400 --> 01:42:39,880 Speaker 5: yesterday that could have been monster plays, but it's just 1985 01:42:40,120 --> 01:42:43,120 Speaker 5: little things that don't allow them to move the sticks 1986 01:42:43,120 --> 01:42:46,559 Speaker 5: early enough in the drive and then they end up 1987 01:42:46,800 --> 01:42:48,519 Speaker 5: you know, I think they go three and out to 1988 01:42:48,640 --> 01:42:52,920 Speaker 5: it of their first four drives. Yesterday, rewind a week 1989 01:42:52,920 --> 01:42:55,120 Speaker 5: ago against Jacksonville, they go three and out their first 1990 01:42:55,120 --> 01:42:57,479 Speaker 5: two drives of the game. And for one of the 1991 01:42:57,520 --> 01:43:00,400 Speaker 5: most explosive offense in the league, that that just shouldn't happen. 1992 01:43:00,520 --> 01:43:02,880 Speaker 5: And we wouldn't be having this conversation if the Bills 1993 01:43:02,880 --> 01:43:05,439 Speaker 5: went fourteen to nine and we just didn't know what 1994 01:43:05,479 --> 01:43:09,400 Speaker 5: they were capable offensively, and because they have the firepower 1995 01:43:09,439 --> 01:43:13,040 Speaker 5: they do, and so moving forward, you know, it's about, Okay, 1996 01:43:13,080 --> 01:43:15,599 Speaker 5: what's our identity as an offense. What can we rely 1997 01:43:15,720 --> 01:43:18,600 Speaker 5: on to get in a hot start or just to 1998 01:43:18,600 --> 01:43:20,839 Speaker 5: get in some type of rhythm early. Is it mixing 1999 01:43:20,920 --> 01:43:23,640 Speaker 5: up the tempo, is it getting under center more? Is 2000 01:43:23,640 --> 01:43:27,920 Speaker 5: it running the ball more? Is it getting in more 2001 01:43:28,040 --> 01:43:31,360 Speaker 5: five wides and giving Josh some easy access throws? But 2002 01:43:31,800 --> 01:43:35,320 Speaker 5: you know, yesterday, the game planned early on was forced. 2003 01:43:35,000 --> 01:43:35,840 Speaker 4: The ball to Diggs. 2004 01:43:35,920 --> 01:43:38,679 Speaker 5: I mean, what was it, Eleven of Josh's first sixteen 2005 01:43:38,680 --> 01:43:39,719 Speaker 5: attempts all went to Digs. 2006 01:43:39,760 --> 01:43:42,719 Speaker 4: And that's fine. I look, I think I think. 2007 01:43:42,640 --> 01:43:45,599 Speaker 5: When you have a true number one receiver like Diggs 2008 01:43:45,680 --> 01:43:48,080 Speaker 5: that wants the ball and competes like he does. You 2009 01:43:48,120 --> 01:43:50,879 Speaker 5: can force feed him some. Heck, a week ago in Jacksonville, 2010 01:43:50,920 --> 01:43:53,759 Speaker 5: I said at halftime, my halftime adjustment for the offense 2011 01:43:54,240 --> 01:43:56,960 Speaker 5: was the force feed Digs. He's your best playmaker. Get 2012 01:43:57,000 --> 01:43:59,280 Speaker 5: them the ball as much as you possibly can. But 2013 01:43:59,800 --> 01:44:04,200 Speaker 5: when and wing Martindale is double teaming, true double teams 2014 01:44:04,240 --> 01:44:07,000 Speaker 5: like not not hey safety help over the top, like 2015 01:44:07,120 --> 01:44:12,679 Speaker 5: two guys just chasing Digs around. Well, to me, especially 2016 01:44:12,720 --> 01:44:16,479 Speaker 5: with Kinkaid out yesterday, there's no kind of easy button 2017 01:44:16,560 --> 01:44:19,280 Speaker 5: throw for Josh. If Digs is double covered, there's no 2018 01:44:19,680 --> 01:44:22,719 Speaker 5: Cole Beasley anymore. It seemed like that role was gonna 2019 01:44:22,720 --> 01:44:25,519 Speaker 5: be Kincaid. Obviously he missed the game yesterday because of 2020 01:44:25,520 --> 01:44:28,920 Speaker 5: the concussion. And so they've got to find answers where 2021 01:44:28,920 --> 01:44:31,760 Speaker 5: they'd say, you know, it's second and ten and they're 2022 01:44:31,760 --> 01:44:35,679 Speaker 5: not running a drawplay for a game of two. It's 2023 01:44:35,720 --> 01:44:38,240 Speaker 5: something that they know that they can get into a 2024 01:44:38,360 --> 01:44:43,519 Speaker 5: manageable third down in short and so you know they'll 2025 01:44:43,560 --> 01:44:45,639 Speaker 5: get they'll get to the drawing board this week, they'll 2026 01:44:45,680 --> 01:44:48,400 Speaker 5: look at the film and you know they're gonna they're 2027 01:44:48,400 --> 01:44:51,559 Speaker 5: gonna learn from this. And you know, a week ago 2028 01:44:51,600 --> 01:44:54,000 Speaker 5: we were saying, hey, if Cook doesn't drop the ball 2029 01:44:54,040 --> 01:44:55,840 Speaker 5: in the first possession, they moved the sticks, and who 2030 01:44:55,880 --> 01:44:59,600 Speaker 5: knows what happens yesterday. If Davis doesn't fumble on the 2031 01:44:59,800 --> 01:45:02,439 Speaker 5: s drive, if they don't have their feet tangled up 2032 01:45:02,439 --> 01:45:04,679 Speaker 5: on the first drive, you probably get a monster truck 2033 01:45:05,280 --> 01:45:08,080 Speaker 5: chunk play. They're either up by one or two scores. 2034 01:45:08,120 --> 01:45:11,559 Speaker 5: You start putting pressure on this Giants offense to then 2035 01:45:11,680 --> 01:45:13,960 Speaker 5: move the football and not play clock control, and then 2036 01:45:13,960 --> 01:45:15,759 Speaker 5: all of a sudden you have a totally different ballgame. 2037 01:45:16,000 --> 01:45:18,240 Speaker 5: That's not the case, though, when you're not making those 2038 01:45:18,240 --> 01:45:19,000 Speaker 5: plays early. 2039 01:45:18,840 --> 01:45:21,400 Speaker 7: And it looks even worse after the first two drives 2040 01:45:21,439 --> 01:45:24,559 Speaker 7: get stopped. Gabe, Gabe Davis gets tripped on the first drive, 2041 01:45:24,560 --> 01:45:26,360 Speaker 7: you get those feet tangled up. The second one, he 2042 01:45:26,439 --> 01:45:29,439 Speaker 7: fumbled it after a big gainer. The third one they 2043 01:45:29,439 --> 01:45:31,000 Speaker 7: get to the first they get a first and ten 2044 01:45:31,080 --> 01:45:33,559 Speaker 7: on the on the New York Giant thirty seven, which 2045 01:45:33,640 --> 01:45:37,640 Speaker 7: was it was after Latavius Murray, you know, bursts up 2046 01:45:37,680 --> 01:45:39,400 Speaker 7: the middle for ten yards, so they're moving the ball. 2047 01:45:39,439 --> 01:45:45,479 Speaker 7: Then it's it and it's incomplete. To digs completed to 2048 01:45:45,600 --> 01:45:48,439 Speaker 7: digs for no gain. So now it's third and ten 2049 01:45:48,720 --> 01:45:52,599 Speaker 7: and incomplete to Dawson Knox and like you just die, 2050 01:45:52,640 --> 01:45:54,280 Speaker 7: it dies on the vine. And then they punt it 2051 01:45:54,280 --> 01:45:55,840 Speaker 7: from the thirty seven yard on which a lot of 2052 01:45:55,840 --> 01:45:58,240 Speaker 7: fans are like off, they're off, their rock are about 2053 01:45:58,439 --> 01:46:00,639 Speaker 7: and I was thinking they were kicking it into the 2054 01:46:00,680 --> 01:46:03,000 Speaker 7: scoreboard end if they decided to hit the fifty five 2055 01:46:03,120 --> 01:46:08,879 Speaker 7: yard er, and I am it's my thought, Matt Smiley 2056 01:46:09,479 --> 01:46:14,719 Speaker 7: and and Tyler Bass told coach listen from that direction 2057 01:46:14,840 --> 01:46:17,320 Speaker 7: going in, I was like one of six in warm 2058 01:46:17,400 --> 01:46:21,000 Speaker 7: ups and playing against the Giant team early it was 2059 01:46:21,040 --> 01:46:23,000 Speaker 7: only three nothing at that time, I think, or maybe 2060 01:46:23,000 --> 01:46:25,599 Speaker 7: it wasn't even three nothing. At that time, you're thinking, Okay, 2061 01:46:25,640 --> 01:46:27,720 Speaker 7: you know what, their offense is not going to move 2062 01:46:27,760 --> 01:46:29,800 Speaker 7: the ball on our defense. We're gonna get him down there, 2063 01:46:29,840 --> 01:46:31,840 Speaker 7: get a three and out and get the ball right back. 2064 01:46:31,880 --> 01:46:35,400 Speaker 7: I think that was the more the mindset because taking 2065 01:46:35,400 --> 01:46:37,479 Speaker 7: a coin flip, if he does miss it, which he 2066 01:46:37,600 --> 01:46:41,559 Speaker 7: did twice the rest of the game, you're giving the 2067 01:46:41,560 --> 01:46:44,120 Speaker 7: Giants a short field. I mean that's what the reasoning 2068 01:46:44,320 --> 01:46:46,360 Speaker 7: was behind that, right. 2069 01:46:47,320 --> 01:46:50,120 Speaker 5: Right absolutely, And then you know yesterday you don't have 2070 01:46:50,160 --> 01:46:52,599 Speaker 5: the defense forcing any turnovers, so you're not getting any 2071 01:46:52,680 --> 01:46:53,519 Speaker 5: short fields. 2072 01:46:53,560 --> 01:46:55,720 Speaker 4: There was no kind of cheap points. 2073 01:46:55,400 --> 01:46:58,639 Speaker 5: In the game either, which we've gotten those at times, 2074 01:46:58,760 --> 01:47:02,280 Speaker 5: especially in some of those blouts. And I'll also say this, 2075 01:47:02,760 --> 01:47:04,960 Speaker 5: and you'd expect this to show up the most in 2076 01:47:05,000 --> 01:47:06,679 Speaker 5: the red zone, but they go two for two scoring 2077 01:47:06,760 --> 01:47:09,879 Speaker 5: touchdowns in the red zone yesterday. The red zone essentially 2078 01:47:09,920 --> 01:47:12,240 Speaker 5: the deciding factor in the game. And I generally say, 2079 01:47:12,479 --> 01:47:16,160 Speaker 5: if you show me touchdown red zone percentage in turnover battle, 2080 01:47:16,400 --> 01:47:19,040 Speaker 5: that'll generally give you the winner of any football game. 2081 01:47:19,320 --> 01:47:20,559 Speaker 4: And I know that's a cheap stack. 2082 01:47:20,760 --> 01:47:22,560 Speaker 5: Is if you get to see three for four in 2083 01:47:23,040 --> 01:47:25,559 Speaker 5: if someone seventy five percent, then yeah, of course they 2084 01:47:25,600 --> 01:47:26,600 Speaker 5: scored three touchdowns. 2085 01:47:26,600 --> 01:47:28,320 Speaker 4: You know they probably scored enough points to win. 2086 01:47:28,400 --> 01:47:32,639 Speaker 5: But I'll say this, this Bill's offense, especially since Week 2087 01:47:32,680 --> 01:47:36,479 Speaker 5: one but throughout this season, is adjusting to life without 2088 01:47:36,560 --> 01:47:39,400 Speaker 5: Josh Allen scrambling or design runs. We haven't seen a 2089 01:47:39,479 --> 01:47:42,080 Speaker 5: design run to Josh Allen. Heck, we're not even seeing 2090 01:47:42,160 --> 01:47:44,479 Speaker 5: sneaks on third and one or fourth in one, and 2091 01:47:44,560 --> 01:47:48,920 Speaker 5: so they're adjusting to life without Josh Allen scrambling down 2092 01:47:48,920 --> 01:47:52,320 Speaker 5: the field. The one late in the game where Josh 2093 01:47:52,360 --> 01:47:55,040 Speaker 5: missus Knox. That might be one where Josh scrambles for 2094 01:47:55,080 --> 01:47:57,719 Speaker 5: that first down when they're trying to run the clock 2095 01:47:57,720 --> 01:48:00,320 Speaker 5: out at the end. And you have other times, you 2096 01:48:00,320 --> 01:48:03,960 Speaker 5: know last week where Josh just barely overthrows Knox, which 2097 01:48:04,000 --> 01:48:06,080 Speaker 5: could have been a big game. You know last year 2098 01:48:06,120 --> 01:48:09,600 Speaker 5: that's probably a twenty yard run by Allen. Defensive coordinators 2099 01:48:09,720 --> 01:48:13,479 Speaker 5: now have to assume that, you know, Josh isn't going 2100 01:48:13,520 --> 01:48:15,960 Speaker 5: to be the same force with his legs because of 2101 01:48:16,360 --> 01:48:19,639 Speaker 5: how they're coaching him right now, which allows a different 2102 01:48:19,680 --> 01:48:23,080 Speaker 5: defensive philosophy than this Bill's offense is used to going against. 2103 01:48:23,160 --> 01:48:27,439 Speaker 5: This is a major philosophy change with Josh not running 2104 01:48:27,479 --> 01:48:30,400 Speaker 5: the ball as much or hardly at all, really, and 2105 01:48:30,479 --> 01:48:31,120 Speaker 5: I'm fine with that. 2106 01:48:31,439 --> 01:48:32,160 Speaker 4: I'm great with that. 2107 01:48:32,240 --> 01:48:34,240 Speaker 5: I've came out here on plenty of Mondays and talked 2108 01:48:34,240 --> 01:48:36,920 Speaker 5: about how, you know, I want to see Josh take 2109 01:48:37,040 --> 01:48:40,160 Speaker 5: less and less hits as his career goes. Now, when 2110 01:48:40,200 --> 01:48:43,120 Speaker 5: the games on the line, when you got you know, 2111 01:48:43,400 --> 01:48:46,280 Speaker 5: playoff implications towards the end of the season, I think 2112 01:48:46,280 --> 01:48:48,719 Speaker 5: you'll see that dialed up. But heck, their best running 2113 01:48:48,720 --> 01:48:51,320 Speaker 5: plays the last few years have been zone reads and 2114 01:48:51,360 --> 01:48:53,479 Speaker 5: They're not running any of those because they don't even 2115 01:48:53,479 --> 01:48:56,000 Speaker 5: want to give Josh the option to pull the ball 2116 01:48:56,439 --> 01:48:58,000 Speaker 5: and go try and get some yards himself. 2117 01:48:58,640 --> 01:49:00,479 Speaker 7: One thing I got to ask, and I said earlier 2118 01:49:00,479 --> 01:49:03,400 Speaker 7: in the show, if you're gonna have Josh do this 2119 01:49:03,520 --> 01:49:05,799 Speaker 7: and play within the scheme of the offense, he's actually 2120 01:49:05,800 --> 01:49:08,640 Speaker 7: what it is basically is him giving other guys a 2121 01:49:08,720 --> 01:49:11,760 Speaker 7: chance to keep him from having to put on the 2122 01:49:12,240 --> 01:49:17,160 Speaker 7: Superman Cape. The question is, who, besides Steph Diggs, is 2123 01:49:17,240 --> 01:49:22,599 Speaker 7: gonna be the guy that you know helps him, right, 2124 01:49:22,920 --> 01:49:26,320 Speaker 7: I mean, who's gonna be a guy that that gets open, 2125 01:49:26,439 --> 01:49:29,280 Speaker 7: gives him a lane that he can depend on to 2126 01:49:29,439 --> 01:49:32,080 Speaker 7: keep from having to put the cape on and run 2127 01:49:32,120 --> 01:49:34,920 Speaker 7: for a nineteen yard gain on third and twelve. 2128 01:49:35,880 --> 01:49:36,080 Speaker 4: Yeah. 2129 01:49:36,080 --> 01:49:38,680 Speaker 5: I think as the season goes on, they're hoping that's Kincaid. 2130 01:49:39,080 --> 01:49:42,799 Speaker 5: They're hoping that Josh can build more relationship with Hardy 2131 01:49:43,680 --> 01:49:47,559 Speaker 5: in Sherfield, Gabe Davis. You know, he just disappears for 2132 01:49:47,800 --> 01:49:51,800 Speaker 5: too long A stretches for me. You know, incredible playmaker, 2133 01:49:51,960 --> 01:49:55,120 Speaker 5: great playmaker, love him being a part of this roster. 2134 01:49:55,160 --> 01:49:56,360 Speaker 4: But when we're talking to guy. 2135 01:49:56,200 --> 01:49:58,720 Speaker 5: That's just gonna hey, it's second and ten, we either 2136 01:49:58,800 --> 01:50:00,439 Speaker 5: rush the ball for no gain on first out and 2137 01:50:00,560 --> 01:50:01,360 Speaker 5: we threw an incompletion. 2138 01:50:01,680 --> 01:50:02,960 Speaker 4: Who can get us a third and two? 2139 01:50:02,960 --> 01:50:06,120 Speaker 5: Remove the sticks right now if they're gonna truly try 2140 01:50:06,160 --> 01:50:09,759 Speaker 5: and take away step Diggs and so understanding that teams 2141 01:50:09,840 --> 01:50:12,040 Speaker 5: might want to, you know, steph d still goes for 2142 01:50:12,160 --> 01:50:16,120 Speaker 5: ten and one hundred yesterday, but you could see some 2143 01:50:16,160 --> 01:50:20,200 Speaker 5: of Wink Martindale's game plan copied the rest of the year. 2144 01:50:20,240 --> 01:50:23,240 Speaker 5: So who's gonna be the guy that separates? And look, 2145 01:50:23,240 --> 01:50:26,040 Speaker 5: the Bills are gonna face much tougher secondaries throughout the 2146 01:50:26,080 --> 01:50:28,599 Speaker 5: rest of the season than they faced yesterday as well, 2147 01:50:28,600 --> 01:50:31,240 Speaker 5: And so there's got to be someone that can separate, 2148 01:50:31,600 --> 01:50:34,280 Speaker 5: and you know it's and it can be Cook out 2149 01:50:34,320 --> 01:50:36,800 Speaker 5: of the backfield, whatever it is, there's got to be 2150 01:50:36,840 --> 01:50:40,599 Speaker 5: more guys stepping up and truly separating. And look, I've 2151 01:50:40,640 --> 01:50:43,120 Speaker 5: seen the tweets today where people take a screenshot and 2152 01:50:43,160 --> 01:50:45,559 Speaker 5: show how open guys are and Josh isn't looking for him, 2153 01:50:45,720 --> 01:50:48,360 Speaker 5: And look, Josh may miss him on those plays. Maybe 2154 01:50:48,360 --> 01:50:51,080 Speaker 5: those guys weren't quick enough in the progression. But I'll 2155 01:50:51,080 --> 01:50:53,840 Speaker 5: say this, when a guy's that wide open and he's 2156 01:50:53,840 --> 01:50:56,200 Speaker 5: still force feeding digs you know what that shows me, 2157 01:50:56,479 --> 01:50:57,800 Speaker 5: that's who Josh trusts. 2158 01:50:58,000 --> 01:50:59,599 Speaker 4: That's who Josh under the gun. 2159 01:50:59,600 --> 01:51:02,960 Speaker 5: When you're a team that blitzes as high as anybody 2160 01:51:03,000 --> 01:51:04,559 Speaker 5: in the NFL, and you know you're gonna have to 2161 01:51:04,680 --> 01:51:07,200 Speaker 5: likely make quick decisions in a game. And look and 2162 01:51:07,520 --> 01:51:10,040 Speaker 5: Wig Martindale died it back yesterday and didn't blitz as 2163 01:51:10,120 --> 01:51:13,040 Speaker 5: much because you know, maybe that extra blitzer. They just 2164 01:51:13,080 --> 01:51:16,920 Speaker 5: took him and tried to double steph. But all that 2165 01:51:17,000 --> 01:51:19,679 Speaker 5: being said to me, that just shows that Josh doesn't 2166 01:51:19,680 --> 01:51:21,600 Speaker 5: trust a lot of the other guys. 2167 01:51:22,000 --> 01:51:25,519 Speaker 2: Let's talk about the defensive effort, Eric, and you know, 2168 01:51:25,600 --> 01:51:29,320 Speaker 2: Tarren Johnson, leading tackler fifteen tackles in the game, has 2169 01:51:29,360 --> 01:51:31,559 Speaker 2: the big play at the end. Although there's some people 2170 01:51:31,560 --> 01:51:33,880 Speaker 2: who believe he did have a DPI on the play. 2171 01:51:34,280 --> 01:51:35,800 Speaker 2: I don't think there was enough to rise to the 2172 01:51:35,880 --> 01:51:38,479 Speaker 2: level of PI, but that's just me. And then Torel 2173 01:51:38,520 --> 01:51:41,559 Speaker 2: Bernard another solid performance and Dorian Williams, who got the 2174 01:51:41,600 --> 01:51:45,120 Speaker 2: start last night. All over the field, I mean ten 2175 01:51:45,200 --> 01:51:49,320 Speaker 2: tackles in the game, made some plays, was not perfect, 2176 01:51:49,760 --> 01:51:53,479 Speaker 2: didn't fill every gap properly over the course of the game, 2177 01:51:54,000 --> 01:51:58,559 Speaker 2: but made an impact was noticeable. What do you foresee 2178 01:51:58,640 --> 01:52:00,960 Speaker 2: going forward with him? 2179 01:52:01,080 --> 01:52:03,400 Speaker 5: Yeah, I think he'll keep getting better and better. And 2180 01:52:04,000 --> 01:52:05,680 Speaker 5: we talked about it yesterday, Chris. I got to talk 2181 01:52:05,720 --> 01:52:07,840 Speaker 5: to Bobby Babage before the game, and you know, he 2182 01:52:07,880 --> 01:52:10,200 Speaker 5: loves Dorian Williams and just he knows what he's getting 2183 01:52:10,200 --> 01:52:13,639 Speaker 5: from Dorian Williams, and that's an absolute ball player that's 2184 01:52:13,680 --> 01:52:15,599 Speaker 5: gonna fly around the football field and give you everything 2185 01:52:15,600 --> 01:52:17,639 Speaker 5: he's got. And yes, there's gonna be some growing pains 2186 01:52:17,680 --> 01:52:20,040 Speaker 5: when you play a rookie in the middle of that defense, 2187 01:52:20,120 --> 01:52:23,680 Speaker 5: but or sorry at the will linebacker position, but you 2188 01:52:23,680 --> 01:52:26,120 Speaker 5: know they're one of their two off ball linebacker positions. 2189 01:52:26,320 --> 01:52:27,400 Speaker 4: Is there gonna be mistakes? 2190 01:52:27,680 --> 01:52:30,400 Speaker 5: Of course, you know at any position that you play 2191 01:52:30,400 --> 01:52:32,240 Speaker 5: a guy and he's getting his first start, there's gonna 2192 01:52:32,280 --> 01:52:35,320 Speaker 5: be mistakes. But I loved kind of the progression from 2193 01:52:35,479 --> 01:52:38,240 Speaker 5: him getting some action against Jacksonville but not even being 2194 01:52:38,280 --> 01:52:41,000 Speaker 5: truly in the game plan for that. He's looking, he's 2195 01:52:41,000 --> 01:52:44,360 Speaker 5: doing show team looks for Jacksonville throughout the weekend, then 2196 01:52:44,400 --> 01:52:47,280 Speaker 5: gets thrust into actual Milano goes down. I saw some 2197 01:52:47,360 --> 01:52:50,160 Speaker 5: great things from him yesterday. I'm excited about you know, 2198 01:52:50,320 --> 01:52:53,040 Speaker 5: just who he is as a football player. Bernard and 2199 01:52:53,160 --> 01:52:56,240 Speaker 5: Arren Johnson, they actually kind of remind me of of 2200 01:52:56,280 --> 01:52:58,960 Speaker 5: each other in the way that they play. Those guys 2201 01:52:59,080 --> 01:53:02,519 Speaker 5: are fearless there, they both are, and their impact players. 2202 01:53:02,880 --> 01:53:05,400 Speaker 5: And I'm sure glad both those guys are playing on 2203 01:53:05,439 --> 01:53:08,040 Speaker 5: our defense because they fly around, they make plays at 2204 01:53:08,120 --> 01:53:10,320 Speaker 5: or behind the line of scrimmage. They're active in the 2205 01:53:10,320 --> 01:53:13,080 Speaker 5: past game, both of them are. And look, Tarren makes 2206 01:53:13,120 --> 01:53:15,320 Speaker 5: a good play at the end. He's given up six 2207 01:53:15,360 --> 01:53:18,040 Speaker 5: inches and if he gets another pi or a hold 2208 01:53:18,080 --> 01:53:21,400 Speaker 5: on the play against Waller, so be it. Give him 2209 01:53:21,400 --> 01:53:24,439 Speaker 5: another shot, but don't give him an easy one there 2210 01:53:24,479 --> 01:53:27,400 Speaker 5: and make the ref make a decision there. 2211 01:53:27,960 --> 01:53:28,720 Speaker 7: You know he is. 2212 01:53:28,760 --> 01:53:30,519 Speaker 4: He gonna let that slide. 2213 01:53:31,120 --> 01:53:33,559 Speaker 5: He did, and you get away with one there, And 2214 01:53:33,640 --> 01:53:36,400 Speaker 5: I say get away with thee. There's gonna be contact 2215 01:53:36,800 --> 01:53:39,080 Speaker 5: down in the tight red zone like that anytime you 2216 01:53:39,120 --> 01:53:39,639 Speaker 5: throw the ball. 2217 01:53:39,960 --> 01:53:42,320 Speaker 7: So you get into this spot where the Bills are 2218 01:53:42,360 --> 01:53:45,080 Speaker 7: now one loss and then one win in two games 2219 01:53:45,120 --> 01:53:48,200 Speaker 7: where they started slowly on offense. Now the Bills defense 2220 01:53:48,240 --> 01:53:51,240 Speaker 7: has played well and not letting up any points. But 2221 01:53:52,120 --> 01:53:54,920 Speaker 7: what do you think, what's the what's the cure? I mean, 2222 01:53:54,960 --> 01:53:57,960 Speaker 7: how do you get this team to come out and 2223 01:53:58,640 --> 01:54:00,439 Speaker 7: like a house on fire like they have done in 2224 01:54:00,479 --> 01:54:03,840 Speaker 7: the past. What's missing or what can they change, if anything. 2225 01:54:04,680 --> 01:54:07,360 Speaker 5: Figure out what you're doing best offensively, look at all 2226 01:54:07,400 --> 01:54:10,160 Speaker 5: your breakdowns and start the game with that, and get 2227 01:54:10,160 --> 01:54:11,920 Speaker 5: the guys ready to roll and say, look, this is 2228 01:54:11,960 --> 01:54:12,639 Speaker 5: what we do best. 2229 01:54:12,720 --> 01:54:13,479 Speaker 4: This is what we've. 2230 01:54:13,360 --> 01:54:17,439 Speaker 5: Charted, whether that's up tempo and mixing in and out 2231 01:54:17,479 --> 01:54:20,000 Speaker 5: of five wide, whether that's Reggie gilliam on the you know, 2232 01:54:20,040 --> 01:54:22,679 Speaker 5: getting twenty one personnel, gets a big personnel out there, 2233 01:54:22,880 --> 01:54:25,960 Speaker 5: and mix mix up your formations to where you're putting 2234 01:54:25,960 --> 01:54:28,200 Speaker 5: the defense at the bottom, whatever it is. Figure out 2235 01:54:28,240 --> 01:54:31,000 Speaker 5: what you're doing best offensively and get to it early. 2236 01:54:31,360 --> 01:54:34,800 Speaker 5: And then the defense has been playing great, don't get 2237 01:54:34,840 --> 01:54:39,280 Speaker 5: me wrong, but there's times where they're letting offenses sustain drives, 2238 01:54:39,320 --> 01:54:42,960 Speaker 5: so then that offense hits on the sideline, and not 2239 01:54:43,040 --> 01:54:44,840 Speaker 5: that they're in a rhythm to start with, But then 2240 01:54:44,880 --> 01:54:47,280 Speaker 5: you sit there forever, and it's easy to come out 2241 01:54:47,320 --> 01:54:49,720 Speaker 5: flat when you've been sitting on the bench for twenty 2242 01:54:49,720 --> 01:54:52,000 Speaker 5: twenty five minutes and not been on the field. And 2243 01:54:52,040 --> 01:54:55,320 Speaker 5: so I think at times they can play better complimentary football. 2244 01:54:55,440 --> 01:54:56,120 Speaker 4: I say all this. 2245 01:54:56,400 --> 01:54:58,920 Speaker 5: It was the offense the last two weeks. I'm just saying, 2246 01:54:59,560 --> 01:55:03,240 Speaker 5: at times, you know, turn whether it's a turnover, whether 2247 01:55:03,320 --> 01:55:06,720 Speaker 5: it's a short field, whether it's a punt return, something 2248 01:55:06,760 --> 01:55:08,480 Speaker 5: can just give that offense a little bit of a 2249 01:55:08,600 --> 01:55:11,600 Speaker 5: jolt to where you know, the time of possession at 2250 01:55:11,640 --> 01:55:14,240 Speaker 5: the half. Both the last couple of weeks has been tough. 2251 01:55:14,320 --> 01:55:17,160 Speaker 5: Now two weeks ago against Jacksonville, majority of the reason 2252 01:55:17,200 --> 01:55:20,919 Speaker 5: for that was injuries. Yesterday, the Giants were sustaining drives, 2253 01:55:21,040 --> 01:55:23,480 Speaker 5: they were getting to some third and fourths tyrods, making 2254 01:55:23,560 --> 01:55:26,040 Speaker 5: quick decisions, getting the ball out of his hands and 2255 01:55:26,640 --> 01:55:30,400 Speaker 5: making completions. They're not scoring touchdowns. All that being said, 2256 01:55:30,720 --> 01:55:33,360 Speaker 5: they could still play better complimentary football, but it's on 2257 01:55:33,400 --> 01:55:35,880 Speaker 5: the offense to start faster in games and look, the 2258 01:55:35,920 --> 01:55:39,480 Speaker 5: defense can continue their high level play and the Bills 2259 01:55:39,480 --> 01:55:41,360 Speaker 5: will go back to blowing people out if they can 2260 01:55:41,400 --> 01:55:42,400 Speaker 5: start these games faster. 2261 01:55:43,120 --> 01:55:47,160 Speaker 2: Last one, Eric and spinning it forward to Week seven, 2262 01:55:47,440 --> 01:55:51,960 Speaker 2: Bills at Patriots, New England. A team that while their 2263 01:55:52,000 --> 01:55:56,840 Speaker 2: offense has struggled mightily, their defense holds them in games, 2264 01:55:57,520 --> 01:56:00,919 Speaker 2: sometimes not all the time. They've had some lowout losses, 2265 01:56:01,360 --> 01:56:03,560 Speaker 2: but there's still a top ten defense that's tenth in 2266 01:56:03,600 --> 01:56:05,720 Speaker 2: the league and third down defense and seventh in the 2267 01:56:05,760 --> 01:56:08,960 Speaker 2: league in red zone defense. That's where they excel third 2268 01:56:09,000 --> 01:56:11,800 Speaker 2: down in red zone and knowing the problems that the 2269 01:56:11,800 --> 01:56:14,240 Speaker 2: Bills have experienced on offense the last couple of weeks, 2270 01:56:14,280 --> 01:56:16,320 Speaker 2: I know that we've already taken some calls from fans. 2271 01:56:16,320 --> 01:56:19,160 Speaker 2: They're concerned that this Sunday could play out a lot 2272 01:56:19,200 --> 01:56:19,920 Speaker 2: like the last two. 2273 01:56:21,480 --> 01:56:23,480 Speaker 5: Yeah, and that's fine as long as the Bills get 2274 01:56:23,520 --> 01:56:26,040 Speaker 5: the win. And look, you know, we want to see 2275 01:56:26,360 --> 01:56:29,080 Speaker 5: the Bills be sharper. But what Bills fans got to 2276 01:56:29,120 --> 01:56:35,000 Speaker 5: understand is most games in the NFL, whether it's the Giants, 2277 01:56:35,040 --> 01:56:38,520 Speaker 5: the Patriots, or you're playing the Dolphins, most games are 2278 01:56:38,520 --> 01:56:41,360 Speaker 5: going to come down to one score. They're tight football 2279 01:56:41,360 --> 01:56:45,000 Speaker 5: games into the fourth quarter. So you know, myself included, 2280 01:56:45,040 --> 01:56:46,760 Speaker 5: we can't expect the Bills to go out and blow 2281 01:56:46,760 --> 01:56:49,560 Speaker 5: people out each and every week. Last night was a 2282 01:56:49,560 --> 01:56:52,600 Speaker 5: little too close for comfort. All that being said, yeah, 2283 01:56:52,880 --> 01:56:56,040 Speaker 5: likely will be a fairly tight game in New England. 2284 01:56:56,120 --> 01:56:58,000 Speaker 4: Do I expect the Bills to get the win? Yes? 2285 01:56:58,840 --> 01:57:01,800 Speaker 5: Do I expect them to score or forty and beat 2286 01:57:01,800 --> 01:57:04,080 Speaker 5: the brakes off the Patriots? No, because that just doesn't 2287 01:57:04,120 --> 01:57:07,040 Speaker 5: generally happen in the NFL. We've been spoiled at times 2288 01:57:07,120 --> 01:57:09,720 Speaker 5: where the Bills get on these hot streaks and just 2289 01:57:10,000 --> 01:57:13,680 Speaker 5: crush opponents. And you know, they traditionally the last few 2290 01:57:13,760 --> 01:57:15,840 Speaker 5: years have sat in that you know, top three and 2291 01:57:15,960 --> 01:57:17,960 Speaker 5: point differential at the end of the season because they 2292 01:57:17,960 --> 01:57:19,640 Speaker 5: have blown people out because they're so good on both 2293 01:57:19,640 --> 01:57:21,560 Speaker 5: sides of the ball. But yeah, I expect this to 2294 01:57:21,560 --> 01:57:23,720 Speaker 5: be a tight game in New England. And look, they're 2295 01:57:23,720 --> 01:57:27,600 Speaker 5: sitting at one in five. Bill Belichick, He's gonna have 2296 01:57:27,640 --> 01:57:30,760 Speaker 5: those guys ready to go because they have a lot 2297 01:57:30,800 --> 01:57:32,840 Speaker 5: of pride over there, and you know, we go into 2298 01:57:32,880 --> 01:57:37,280 Speaker 5: their place, which isn't always the most hostile environment. But 2299 01:57:37,720 --> 01:57:39,400 Speaker 5: all that being said, yeah, I do expect to be 2300 01:57:39,400 --> 01:57:40,200 Speaker 5: a pretty tight game. 2301 01:57:40,720 --> 01:57:43,240 Speaker 7: Give us an idea. This could be more like the 2302 01:57:43,280 --> 01:57:46,640 Speaker 7: Giants game than we knew. If the Patriots decide to 2303 01:57:46,640 --> 01:57:50,080 Speaker 7: switch up quarterbacks, Malie Campbell may be in the running, 2304 01:57:50,360 --> 01:57:54,880 Speaker 7: or Malik Cunningham maybe in there. That's you know, I 2305 01:57:54,960 --> 01:57:58,320 Speaker 7: hate that for a team you have no film on 2306 01:57:58,360 --> 01:58:01,840 Speaker 7: the guy except like a quarter of game last week. 2307 01:58:02,960 --> 01:58:05,160 Speaker 7: How does that change things for a team when you've 2308 01:58:05,200 --> 01:58:08,560 Speaker 7: got a different signal caller for an opponent who is 2309 01:58:08,720 --> 01:58:11,320 Speaker 7: absolutely desperate to get off the schneid. 2310 01:58:12,680 --> 01:58:16,000 Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean Malik. I followed him at the University 2311 01:58:16,000 --> 01:58:18,040 Speaker 5: of Louisville. He got that COVID year, so that's he 2312 01:58:18,160 --> 01:58:20,880 Speaker 5: felt like he was setting school records that maybe he 2313 01:58:20,880 --> 01:58:23,640 Speaker 5: shouldn't have just based upon being there so long. But 2314 01:58:25,320 --> 01:58:27,400 Speaker 5: super athlete. You know, they tried him out in the 2315 01:58:27,440 --> 01:58:31,000 Speaker 5: preseason at receiver. He would you know, played special teams, 2316 01:58:31,160 --> 01:58:32,440 Speaker 5: played quarterback. 2317 01:58:32,000 --> 01:58:33,920 Speaker 4: As well, so he's very mobile. 2318 01:58:35,120 --> 01:58:37,200 Speaker 5: You know, at times it might even look closer to 2319 01:58:37,280 --> 01:58:41,520 Speaker 5: a wildcat offense just because he's he's an athlete back there, 2320 01:58:41,560 --> 01:58:43,600 Speaker 5: and that's the strength of his game. He does have 2321 01:58:43,840 --> 01:58:47,680 Speaker 5: the capability of throwing the football. But you know, if 2322 01:58:47,840 --> 01:58:51,600 Speaker 5: I'm if I'm the Bills, whether it's mac Jones or 2323 01:58:51,720 --> 01:58:54,600 Speaker 5: Cunningham back there with the Patriots, you got to stop 2324 01:58:54,640 --> 01:58:57,240 Speaker 5: the run, don't allow the big plays going to make 2325 01:58:57,280 --> 01:58:59,320 Speaker 5: them earn it. And at this point of the season 2326 01:58:59,320 --> 01:59:02,400 Speaker 5: they've proven that, but don't make enough mistakes to not 2327 01:59:02,480 --> 01:59:03,560 Speaker 5: put up many points. 2328 01:59:04,080 --> 01:59:06,480 Speaker 2: Eric, thanks as always, We appreciate it. We'll catch up 2329 01:59:06,480 --> 01:59:07,360 Speaker 2: with you next weeks. 2330 01:59:07,400 --> 01:59:07,560 Speaker 7: Man. 2331 01:59:08,480 --> 01:59:10,360 Speaker 4: All right, sounds good, guys, have a great week. 2332 01:59:10,160 --> 01:59:12,120 Speaker 2: All right, that's Eric Wood joining us as he does 2333 01:59:12,160 --> 01:59:15,720 Speaker 2: every Monday, giving us his insights from the broadcast booth 2334 01:59:15,760 --> 01:59:19,920 Speaker 2: of the game the day before. And yeah, I think 2335 01:59:19,960 --> 01:59:22,280 Speaker 2: that Patriots game is going to be interesting because of 2336 01:59:22,280 --> 01:59:26,680 Speaker 2: what you mentioned, the unknowns involved with Malie Cunningham, who 2337 01:59:26,760 --> 01:59:29,520 Speaker 2: at the very least is expected to get some time 2338 01:59:29,920 --> 01:59:33,240 Speaker 2: at the quarterback position, maybe more than we even anticipate, 2339 01:59:33,400 --> 01:59:37,160 Speaker 2: and that requires extra preparation on the Bills part defensively 2340 01:59:37,800 --> 01:59:42,320 Speaker 2: and secondarily how their defense somehow, some way tends to 2341 01:59:42,480 --> 01:59:45,480 Speaker 2: stemy teams at times, not all the time, because they 2342 01:59:45,480 --> 01:59:48,680 Speaker 2: have had some blowout losses, but at times they can 2343 01:59:48,720 --> 01:59:52,280 Speaker 2: hold their team in a game if their offense is sputtering, 2344 01:59:52,320 --> 01:59:54,840 Speaker 2: which has happened as we know more often than not 2345 01:59:55,000 --> 01:59:56,920 Speaker 2: for New England. You think the Bills have had issues 2346 01:59:56,920 --> 01:59:59,560 Speaker 2: in half of their games New England, almost every game 2347 01:59:59,640 --> 02:00:04,200 Speaker 2: has been an uphill climb as far as their offense goes. 2348 02:00:04,640 --> 02:00:07,600 Speaker 2: That's still six days away. We'll be talking more about 2349 02:00:07,640 --> 02:00:09,760 Speaker 2: that throughout the week, but when we come back, more 2350 02:00:09,800 --> 02:00:11,960 Speaker 2: of your phone calls, so stay put if you're at 2351 02:00:12,040 --> 02:00:14,600 Speaker 2: Adio three zero five point fifty, and we'll get around 2352 02:00:14,600 --> 02:00:16,720 Speaker 2: the locker room as well. Here on one Bill's Live 2353 02:00:16,760 --> 02:00:33,160 Speaker 2: presented by Colt of Health. It's Buffalo Bills Radio. Let's 2354 02:00:33,200 --> 02:00:35,560 Speaker 2: go around the locker room on this Bill's Victory Monday, 2355 02:00:35,600 --> 02:00:39,160 Speaker 2: presented by connect Life, your blood and organ donor Network, 2356 02:00:39,200 --> 02:00:42,880 Speaker 2: and we begin with Josh Allen, who was very straightforward 2357 02:00:43,080 --> 02:00:47,720 Speaker 2: in addressing the inconsistencies of the past two games on offense. 2358 02:00:51,400 --> 02:00:54,160 Speaker 3: I don't want to make mountains out of molehills here. 2359 02:00:55,360 --> 02:00:58,000 Speaker 3: You know, we've been an extremely efficient offense. We've scored 2360 02:00:58,040 --> 02:01:01,160 Speaker 3: a lot of points the last two games. We haven't 2361 02:01:01,160 --> 02:01:02,840 Speaker 3: gotten off to a hot start. We got to figure 2362 02:01:02,840 --> 02:01:05,760 Speaker 3: out why that is and how to get ourselves in 2363 02:01:05,800 --> 02:01:08,120 Speaker 3: a funk or get ourselves out of a funk early on, 2364 02:01:08,160 --> 02:01:10,040 Speaker 3: and get ourselves into a good rhythm early on. So, 2365 02:01:11,600 --> 02:01:14,600 Speaker 3: you know, just we'll take it one game at a time, 2366 02:01:14,960 --> 02:01:17,160 Speaker 3: one week at a time, and just try to continue 2367 02:01:17,160 --> 02:01:18,240 Speaker 3: to get better throughout the week. 2368 02:01:18,400 --> 02:01:19,520 Speaker 4: Again, we just gotta we got to. 2369 02:01:19,480 --> 02:01:23,080 Speaker 3: Have a sense of urgency and get to the bottom 2370 02:01:23,120 --> 02:01:26,000 Speaker 3: of it. And we're a much better team than than 2371 02:01:26,040 --> 02:01:28,440 Speaker 3: what we showed tonight and what we showed last week. 2372 02:01:28,440 --> 02:01:31,160 Speaker 3: Were much better offense than that, and we know that. 2373 02:01:31,360 --> 02:01:32,480 Speaker 3: So we got to go out there. We got to 2374 02:01:32,480 --> 02:01:34,960 Speaker 3: prove it. But again it starts with practice and figuring 2375 02:01:35,000 --> 02:01:38,120 Speaker 3: out how to get our guys in good situations to 2376 02:01:38,120 --> 02:01:42,480 Speaker 3: help this football team win football games. So again, we'll 2377 02:01:42,480 --> 02:01:44,880 Speaker 3: watch the film, we'll get better from it, and we'll 2378 02:01:44,920 --> 02:01:45,680 Speaker 3: be better going forward. 2379 02:01:46,520 --> 02:01:49,440 Speaker 2: All right. So that's the offensive side of the ball. Meanwhile, 2380 02:01:49,520 --> 02:01:52,360 Speaker 2: the defensive side of the ball held the Giants without 2381 02:01:52,400 --> 02:01:57,080 Speaker 2: a touchdown, nine total points and zerover five in the 2382 02:01:57,120 --> 02:02:00,560 Speaker 2: red zone. Here is head coach Sean McDermott on defensive 2383 02:02:00,600 --> 02:02:03,920 Speaker 2: effort in the win over the Giants nine fourths. 2384 02:02:04,000 --> 02:02:06,200 Speaker 25: Right, how often can you do that in an NFL game? 2385 02:02:06,280 --> 02:02:09,480 Speaker 25: And you know, really two drives that they had two 2386 02:02:09,480 --> 02:02:11,520 Speaker 25: opportunities to go down and win the game, and our 2387 02:02:11,560 --> 02:02:13,520 Speaker 25: defense stood up with thought. The guys did a phenomenal 2388 02:02:13,640 --> 02:02:16,840 Speaker 25: job two fourth down situations or you know, in terms 2389 02:02:16,840 --> 02:02:21,080 Speaker 25: of those drives ended in basically last play situations there 2390 02:02:21,200 --> 02:02:23,240 Speaker 25: and our guys stood up. And some of those guys 2391 02:02:23,280 --> 02:02:26,680 Speaker 25: are young guys, but we're not there yet. But when 2392 02:02:26,720 --> 02:02:30,040 Speaker 25: you're talking about Kayer a second year player, CB, a 2393 02:02:30,120 --> 02:02:34,920 Speaker 25: second year player, TB a second year player, Dorian a rookie, 2394 02:02:36,240 --> 02:02:38,360 Speaker 25: I mean those guys in a game like that, when 2395 02:02:38,360 --> 02:02:41,000 Speaker 25: it's you know, it's nip and tuck and to go 2396 02:02:41,040 --> 02:02:43,560 Speaker 25: on a drive where you're saying, hey, two minute, let's execute. 2397 02:02:43,680 --> 02:02:43,840 Speaker 13: Right. 2398 02:02:43,920 --> 02:02:45,640 Speaker 25: That's why we practice the way we do, and you've 2399 02:02:45,640 --> 02:02:48,920 Speaker 25: got to communicate execute. It's got to all be rolling 2400 02:02:49,680 --> 02:02:51,360 Speaker 25: in the critical moments of the game, and it was 2401 02:02:51,400 --> 02:02:53,240 Speaker 25: those guys were doing a really good job. And then 2402 02:02:53,840 --> 02:02:55,840 Speaker 25: again they stood up with it in that last play. 2403 02:02:55,880 --> 02:02:57,240 Speaker 25: They stood up and made the play that they had 2404 02:02:57,280 --> 02:02:57,560 Speaker 25: to make. 2405 02:02:58,720 --> 02:03:01,520 Speaker 2: And then von Miller, who said he started to feel 2406 02:03:01,520 --> 02:03:05,160 Speaker 2: a little bendy yesterday with his pass rushing, felt better 2407 02:03:05,200 --> 02:03:10,360 Speaker 2: than he did last week, also discussed Tarren Johnson, Buffalo's 2408 02:03:10,440 --> 02:03:13,880 Speaker 2: leading tackler in the game with fifteen total tackles and 2409 02:03:13,920 --> 02:03:15,320 Speaker 2: the big play at the end. 2410 02:03:16,760 --> 02:03:20,000 Speaker 8: He's on fire, man, Like saw him on a side 2411 02:03:20,120 --> 02:03:21,680 Speaker 8: I was lay man, what you're thinking about because he 2412 02:03:21,720 --> 02:03:22,760 Speaker 8: was just staring down at the Terryfux. 2413 02:03:22,920 --> 02:03:23,680 Speaker 4: You know what you're thinking about it. 2414 02:03:23,680 --> 02:03:25,480 Speaker 8: He's like, hey man, I'm trying to I'm thinking I've 2415 02:03:25,560 --> 02:03:27,240 Speaker 8: played to close the game. 2416 02:03:27,760 --> 02:03:29,640 Speaker 4: And I was like, okay, let me leave you alone then, 2417 02:03:29,640 --> 02:03:31,080 Speaker 4: because we as. 2418 02:03:30,880 --> 02:03:31,480 Speaker 7: We gonna do that. 2419 02:03:31,760 --> 02:03:34,320 Speaker 8: Arry he's been on fire.

That's 2424 02:03:42,080 --> 02:03:44,680 Speaker 2: around the locker room, presented by Connect Life, your Blood 2425 02:03:44,800 --> 02:03:48,080 Speaker 2: and organ Donor Network. Let's get right back to the 2426 02:03:48,120 --> 02:03:50,680 Speaker 2: phones where some people have been holding patiently and we 2427 02:03:50,800 --> 02:03:53,200 Speaker 2: go to stand in Buffalo next. What do you got 2428 02:03:53,200 --> 02:03:54,600 Speaker 2: for a stand? You're on one Bill's Live. 2429 02:03:56,160 --> 02:03:59,920 Speaker 26: Hey, guys, always good talking to you, Steven Brownie, you know, 2430 02:04:00,000 --> 02:04:01,240 Speaker 26: but at the end of the day, of the dub 2431 02:04:01,400 --> 02:04:05,160 Speaker 26: and dub's a dub. But there's just and I'm not 2432 02:04:05,240 --> 02:04:09,120 Speaker 26: picking on Dorsey, but you guys can can honestly answer 2433 02:04:09,120 --> 02:04:13,360 Speaker 26: this for me, there's a situation where it almost seems 2434 02:04:13,440 --> 02:04:17,200 Speaker 26: like his game is scripted the entire like sixty or 2435 02:04:17,240 --> 02:04:21,040 Speaker 26: seventy plays. It almost seems like, you know, Steve, you 2436 02:04:21,080 --> 02:04:23,800 Speaker 26: want to say, who's gonna step up at least putting 2437 02:04:23,800 --> 02:04:25,840 Speaker 26: the right personnel on the field at the right time. 2438 02:04:26,400 --> 02:04:29,320 Speaker 26: And my point in case is this, James Cook has 2439 02:04:29,360 --> 02:04:32,880 Speaker 26: proved himself. Last night I watched James Cook pop out 2440 02:04:32,920 --> 02:04:37,720 Speaker 26: twelve twelve, right, I yelled the TV I said, Dorsey, 2441 02:04:38,280 --> 02:04:42,360 Speaker 26: I said, run the same personnel, run the same formation, 2442 02:04:42,960 --> 02:04:45,720 Speaker 26: throw a slant over the middle and you're gonna hit it. 2443 02:04:46,440 --> 02:04:50,440 Speaker 26: Diggs was open. Problem is he went from under. He 2444 02:04:50,520 --> 02:04:53,080 Speaker 26: took Cook out, So we got a guy going to 2445 02:04:53,160 --> 02:04:57,000 Speaker 26: slow hole slower and Murray we went to the shotgun 2446 02:04:57,440 --> 02:04:59,560 Speaker 26: so linebacker didn't have to step up a yard and 2447 02:04:59,600 --> 02:05:02,120 Speaker 26: a half to yards and he knocked the ball down 2448 02:05:02,760 --> 02:05:06,080 Speaker 26: and Bigs was wide open. I just you say, who's 2449 02:05:06,080 --> 02:05:09,840 Speaker 26: gonna step up. I don't think that Cooks should have 2450 02:05:09,880 --> 02:05:15,040 Speaker 26: fourteen carries and Latavius Murray twelve. Cooks proved himself he's 2451 02:05:15,120 --> 02:05:18,160 Speaker 26: our guy. And do you think that McDermott should have 2452 02:05:18,400 --> 02:05:21,520 Speaker 26: Dorsey down in the sideline. Josh looks like the lost 2453 02:05:21,560 --> 02:05:24,200 Speaker 26: puppy sitting at the end of the bench sometimes. And 2454 02:05:24,240 --> 02:05:27,600 Speaker 26: I know Dad's always had him up, had the book. 2455 02:05:27,920 --> 02:05:30,920 Speaker 26: They reviewed every single series. We just see it on 2456 02:05:30,920 --> 02:05:34,080 Speaker 26: the sidelines. And do you think that that's an issue too. 2457 02:05:34,360 --> 02:05:35,880 Speaker 26: I'm gonna hang up and listen to you guys. 2458 02:05:35,960 --> 02:05:38,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm gonna let Steve handle the run part of this. 2459 02:05:38,520 --> 02:05:41,720 Speaker 2: I'll just start with the other part. Dabel was up 2460 02:05:41,760 --> 02:05:44,840 Speaker 2: in the booth as well. It was Ken Dorsey talking 2461 02:05:44,840 --> 02:05:47,320 Speaker 2: to him on the sidelines for the four years that 2462 02:05:47,400 --> 02:05:49,400 Speaker 2: Dabell was the coordinator, or at least three of the 2463 02:05:49,400 --> 02:05:52,520 Speaker 2: four years that Dable was the coordinator. So that one 2464 02:05:52,600 --> 02:05:55,240 Speaker 2: really doesn't hold a lot of water. But what about 2465 02:05:55,240 --> 02:05:57,760 Speaker 2: the run game and more opportunities for Cook Steve. 2466 02:05:57,920 --> 02:06:01,640 Speaker 7: Yeah, Well, they wrote they've always rotated their running backs, 2467 02:06:01,640 --> 02:06:04,080 Speaker 7: and I think Cook being the guy who gets most 2468 02:06:04,120 --> 02:06:12,040 Speaker 7: of the carries is a designed I think they want 2469 02:06:12,080 --> 02:06:13,720 Speaker 7: to keep those guys fresh, as I guess, is what 2470 02:06:13,760 --> 02:06:16,000 Speaker 7: I'm saying. So I'm not really going to get into, 2471 02:06:16,080 --> 02:06:18,920 Speaker 7: you know, it's hard to get into why they get guys. 2472 02:06:19,040 --> 02:06:22,200 Speaker 7: One guy's got fourteen, one guy's got twelve. There's your 2473 02:06:22,240 --> 02:06:24,200 Speaker 7: answer right there. I think that's where they want now. 2474 02:06:25,280 --> 02:06:27,280 Speaker 2: There is something to be said about the hot hand though, 2475 02:06:27,400 --> 02:06:28,760 Speaker 2: right Yeah. 2476 02:06:28,400 --> 02:06:32,680 Speaker 7: Absolutely, and certainly Latavius came in and snapped off a 2477 02:06:32,680 --> 02:06:35,400 Speaker 7: couple of runs that are impressive, and he has the 2478 02:06:35,400 --> 02:06:40,760 Speaker 7: They run differently too. Murray is a guy who hits 2479 02:06:40,800 --> 02:06:44,120 Speaker 7: it and he's between the tackles. He's big, he runs 2480 02:06:44,120 --> 02:06:47,120 Speaker 7: through contact, he pushes the pile when he gets hit 2481 02:06:47,200 --> 02:06:49,400 Speaker 7: at the line of scrimmage. It's still a four yard game. 2482 02:06:49,440 --> 02:06:51,600 Speaker 7: We saw that a couple of times last night. Maybe 2483 02:06:51,600 --> 02:06:53,000 Speaker 7: not at the line of scrimmage, but if it gets 2484 02:06:53,040 --> 02:06:54,840 Speaker 7: hit two yards deep, it's a four yard gain four 2485 02:06:54,840 --> 02:06:57,480 Speaker 7: and a half yard gain. So Murray gets some yards 2486 02:06:57,480 --> 02:07:01,680 Speaker 7: after contact that Cook does not do. It's just different. 2487 02:07:01,840 --> 02:07:04,520 Speaker 2: I will say this, that's the most aggressive I've seen 2488 02:07:04,560 --> 02:07:07,440 Speaker 2: James Cook run between the tackles in a Bill's uniform 2489 02:07:07,520 --> 02:07:07,880 Speaker 2: last night. 2490 02:07:07,880 --> 02:07:10,680 Speaker 7: That's right, it is, and maybe it's maybe it's part 2491 02:07:10,680 --> 02:07:12,760 Speaker 7: of the messaging as to why Murray got it more 2492 02:07:12,800 --> 02:07:14,920 Speaker 7: carries last night. It's because they wanted somebody like that 2493 02:07:15,000 --> 02:07:18,080 Speaker 7: and Cook hurt him. You know they're gonna say lesson learned. 2494 02:07:18,080 --> 02:07:20,960 Speaker 7: Then that's right, it's a lesson learned, and maybe it's 2495 02:07:21,000 --> 02:07:25,160 Speaker 7: part of the development process for James. So we'll see. 2496 02:07:26,000 --> 02:07:28,960 Speaker 7: But they ran the ball twenty six times with the 2497 02:07:28,960 --> 02:07:31,240 Speaker 7: two guys. Damien Harris got the one carry and he 2498 02:07:31,360 --> 02:07:34,919 Speaker 7: was hurt. So they ran the ball twenty seven times. 2499 02:07:35,640 --> 02:07:38,120 Speaker 7: Josh ran it twice and they were both obviously scrambles. 2500 02:07:39,880 --> 02:07:44,320 Speaker 7: That's to me about what you're gonna see from most 2501 02:07:44,360 --> 02:07:47,360 Speaker 7: teams who don't have and I don't think the Bills 2502 02:07:47,440 --> 02:07:49,520 Speaker 7: feel this way about James Cook. I don't think they 2503 02:07:49,560 --> 02:07:52,080 Speaker 7: have the philosophy of like a like a Giant's team 2504 02:07:52,120 --> 02:07:55,160 Speaker 7: with Saquon Barkley, or a Colt's team with Jonathan Taylor, 2505 02:07:55,560 --> 02:07:59,880 Speaker 7: or a Raiders team with their guy, yeah, Josh Jacobs. 2506 02:07:59,880 --> 02:08:02,120 Speaker 7: So I don't think the Bills feel like they don't 2507 02:08:02,120 --> 02:08:05,000 Speaker 7: have that philosophy. So I think you're always going to 2508 02:08:05,080 --> 02:08:09,360 Speaker 7: get two guys three guys with carries in a game, 2509 02:08:10,840 --> 02:08:12,720 Speaker 7: because I think that's the way they want to do business. 2510 02:08:13,280 --> 02:08:16,600 Speaker 7: And I you're telling me you think James Cook has 2511 02:08:16,800 --> 02:08:19,560 Speaker 7: earned the right to be a guy who gets twenty 2512 02:08:19,600 --> 02:08:22,760 Speaker 7: five carries. I don't think the Bills see it that way. 2513 02:08:24,160 --> 02:08:27,600 Speaker 2: Let's get back to the phones into Mark in Jersey City. Next, 2514 02:08:27,600 --> 02:08:28,200 Speaker 2: what do you got for us? 2515 02:08:28,200 --> 02:08:28,440 Speaker 14: Mark? 2516 02:08:29,440 --> 02:08:32,720 Speaker 27: Good afternoon, gentlemen, thanks for taking my call. I think 2517 02:08:32,760 --> 02:08:37,560 Speaker 27: the whole you know, coming back from the UK, we're 2518 02:08:37,600 --> 02:08:40,520 Speaker 27: going to get right this game psychologically, you know, the 2519 02:08:40,640 --> 02:08:43,520 Speaker 27: way inferior opponent. I see the Giants every week down here. 2520 02:08:43,520 --> 02:08:46,560 Speaker 27: That's the best game they played by far all year. 2521 02:08:46,680 --> 02:08:51,600 Speaker 27: It's not even close. Like they had tackling issues, covered breakdowns, 2522 02:08:51,640 --> 02:08:54,640 Speaker 27: just get it just they all went away last night. 2523 02:08:54,920 --> 02:08:58,320 Speaker 27: Bobby o'kerki was, you know, called a bust signing down 2524 02:08:58,320 --> 02:09:00,920 Speaker 27: here and he was, you know, all old last night 2525 02:09:01,800 --> 02:09:04,080 Speaker 27: had his best game as a Giant. It was just 2526 02:09:04,640 --> 02:09:07,320 Speaker 27: the perfect storm of like and then the whole day 2527 02:09:07,400 --> 02:09:11,480 Speaker 27: ble feel good coming back to Buffalo him knowing the playbook. 2528 02:09:11,520 --> 02:09:14,520 Speaker 27: I felt like it just psychologically played two touchdown favorite 2529 02:09:14,520 --> 02:09:16,320 Speaker 27: at home. I think it played on them a little bit. 2530 02:09:16,600 --> 02:09:18,640 Speaker 27: One thing I do know is the Bills don't like 2531 02:09:18,680 --> 02:09:22,520 Speaker 27: New England collective. Collectively, McDermott doesn't like them. There's a 2532 02:09:22,560 --> 02:09:25,440 Speaker 27: certain aminist they have towards that team. And I think 2533 02:09:25,880 --> 02:09:27,960 Speaker 27: this week, I don't care who they throw out a quarterback. 2534 02:09:27,960 --> 02:09:31,840 Speaker 27: They can bring back Tony Eason, Steve Grogan, whoever they want. 2535 02:09:32,800 --> 02:09:35,200 Speaker 27: They're gonna they're gonna try to really embarrass them at 2536 02:09:35,200 --> 02:09:37,520 Speaker 27: home this weekend. Like I think that's what this is. 2537 02:09:37,560 --> 02:09:39,760 Speaker 27: The perfect opponent at the right time. They're wounded, and 2538 02:09:39,800 --> 02:09:41,720 Speaker 27: I think they're gonna want to bury them even more. 2539 02:09:42,240 --> 02:09:46,200 Speaker 2: All right, Mark, appreciate the phone call. I will give 2540 02:09:46,520 --> 02:09:50,800 Speaker 2: the Giants defense. You know, Bobby Akarake, what a player man. 2541 02:09:51,240 --> 02:09:54,800 Speaker 2: That guy was involved in every takeaway against Miami last 2542 02:09:54,800 --> 02:09:57,320 Speaker 2: week in a losing effort. He was all over the 2543 02:09:57,320 --> 02:09:59,920 Speaker 2: field last night. He has the force fumble on Gabe Davi, 2544 02:10:00,360 --> 02:10:02,080 Speaker 2: he has the tip pass in the air that leads 2545 02:10:02,080 --> 02:10:06,480 Speaker 2: to an interception, and uh, he had another play that 2546 02:10:06,560 --> 02:10:09,920 Speaker 2: I'm trying to remember. He was all over the field. 2547 02:10:10,120 --> 02:10:13,840 Speaker 2: I mean that guy was everywhere for the Giants, as 2548 02:10:13,920 --> 02:10:16,000 Speaker 2: you know, they're inside linebacker there. He is a heck 2549 02:10:16,040 --> 02:10:17,720 Speaker 2: of a player and had a world of a game 2550 02:10:17,800 --> 02:10:21,040 Speaker 2: last night and a losing effort unfortunately for him. Uh, 2551 02:10:21,120 --> 02:10:23,600 Speaker 2: let's get to Fred on a cell. What do you 2552 02:10:23,600 --> 02:10:24,360 Speaker 2: got for his Fred? 2553 02:10:25,480 --> 02:10:27,240 Speaker 28: Yeah, Hi, guys, how you doing good? 2554 02:10:28,560 --> 02:10:28,880 Speaker 12: Good? 2555 02:10:29,240 --> 02:10:32,160 Speaker 28: Hey, Chris, I'm starting to worry about your buddy.

One thing, A lot of people are 2562 02:10:51,680 --> 02:10:55,240 Speaker 28: running around with their hair on fire. I don't you know, 2563 02:10:55,280 --> 02:10:58,800 Speaker 28: I've coached football. I coached high school football before, and 2564 02:10:58,840 --> 02:11:04,200 Speaker 28: I you know, this weekend was I don't know how 2565 02:11:04,240 --> 02:11:07,560 Speaker 28: else you can say. It was very uncharacteristic football played 2566 02:11:07,560 --> 02:11:11,600 Speaker 28: this weekend all around. You know, you had two undefeated 2567 02:11:11,640 --> 02:11:16,680 Speaker 28: teams lost, low scoring games. I don't know if you 2568 02:11:16,720 --> 02:11:22,280 Speaker 28: guys caught any of the games on Sunday, but it 2569 02:11:22,360 --> 02:11:25,920 Speaker 28: was just very uncharacteristic kind of anomalies, you know, right, 2570 02:11:26,880 --> 02:11:29,080 Speaker 28: So I'm not I'm not getting too crazy about that. 2571 02:11:29,360 --> 02:11:30,000 Speaker 12: I really not. 2572 02:11:31,120 --> 02:11:34,800 Speaker 28: I did have a question, and I don't know what 2573 02:11:35,160 --> 02:11:39,680 Speaker 28: did They will face a fourth and inches and and 2574 02:11:39,760 --> 02:11:43,320 Speaker 28: kick a field goal last night? Do you guys remember 2575 02:11:43,320 --> 02:11:43,720 Speaker 28: that or all? 2576 02:11:43,840 --> 02:11:45,480 Speaker 2: I'm going I'll have to go back and check to 2577 02:11:45,520 --> 02:11:48,040 Speaker 2: be sure because I'm just calling the game in the moment, 2578 02:11:48,160 --> 02:11:50,520 Speaker 2: and I'll have to take a look for you. But 2579 02:11:50,560 --> 02:11:51,800 Speaker 2: I'm not one hundred percent on that. 2580 02:11:52,840 --> 02:11:53,680 Speaker 28: Okay, I'm not here. 2581 02:11:53,720 --> 02:11:55,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, there was a fourth and one at the Bills 2582 02:11:55,800 --> 02:11:58,040 Speaker 2: eleven yard line. They kicked a twenty nine yard field 2583 02:11:58,080 --> 02:11:59,600 Speaker 2: goal to take the lead nine to seven. 2584 02:12:00,640 --> 02:12:04,000 Speaker 28: Yes, exactly, That's what I'm talking about. That seemed to 2585 02:12:04,040 --> 02:12:07,400 Speaker 28: be uncharacteristic for Gable. I was surprised he didn't go 2586 02:12:07,520 --> 02:12:07,800 Speaker 28: for that. 2587 02:12:08,120 --> 02:12:10,920 Speaker 2: Well, when you have an offensive line that's got a 2588 02:12:10,920 --> 02:12:13,800 Speaker 2: guy off the couch playing left tackle, which was that 2589 02:12:13,960 --> 02:12:16,560 Speaker 2: which was going on at that point in time, a 2590 02:12:16,600 --> 02:12:20,560 Speaker 2: practice squad player, a backup, a guy that plays left 2591 02:12:20,560 --> 02:12:23,440 Speaker 2: guard playing center for you, and a right tackle. That's 2592 02:12:23,480 --> 02:12:26,120 Speaker 2: been nothing but a disappointment from the word go. You 2593 02:12:26,200 --> 02:12:28,200 Speaker 2: might lack a little confidence that you can get a 2594 02:12:28,240 --> 02:12:30,600 Speaker 2: tough yard when you absolutely need it, and with a 2595 02:12:30,680 --> 02:12:33,000 Speaker 2: chance to go ahead on the field goal, and knowing 2596 02:12:33,040 --> 02:12:36,240 Speaker 2: you're holding that Bills offense under wraps, I think you 2597 02:12:36,280 --> 02:12:39,160 Speaker 2: can see your way to the decision to take the 2598 02:12:39,160 --> 02:12:40,920 Speaker 2: field goal. But I get what you're saying. You know 2599 02:12:40,960 --> 02:12:42,840 Speaker 2: you're at the eleven yard line. You need a yard 2600 02:12:43,000 --> 02:12:46,160 Speaker 2: get into first and goal. And yeah, Dabel used to 2601 02:12:46,240 --> 02:12:49,480 Speaker 2: be more aggressive, but that was when he had Josh 2602 02:12:49,480 --> 02:12:50,760 Speaker 2: Allen is his quarterback. 2603 02:12:51,160 --> 02:12:56,240 Speaker 7: It's a little bit different, right, Yeah, that's right. And yeah, 2604 02:12:56,240 --> 02:12:59,440 Speaker 7: before you said, yeah, uncharacteristic weekend around the NFL. It's 2605 02:12:59,480 --> 02:13:01,120 Speaker 7: a week to week league, no question about it. The 2606 02:13:01,120 --> 02:13:04,800 Speaker 7: Bill's got to feel like though they played And like 2607 02:13:04,880 --> 02:13:07,360 Speaker 7: the caller just before you from Jersey City, he's watched 2608 02:13:07,400 --> 02:13:09,680 Speaker 7: the Giants all year. By far, they played their best 2609 02:13:09,720 --> 02:13:13,040 Speaker 7: game last night. The Bills did not. The Bills got 2610 02:13:13,080 --> 02:13:15,880 Speaker 7: snuck out of there with a win, five point win, 2611 02:13:16,560 --> 02:13:20,240 Speaker 7: and you kind of move on. We were having fun 2612 02:13:21,040 --> 02:13:22,960 Speaker 7: during the week leading up to you just you couldn't 2613 02:13:22,960 --> 02:13:26,000 Speaker 7: get your mind around a two touchdown underdog and the 2614 02:13:26,000 --> 02:13:28,800 Speaker 7: Giants coming into Buffalo on a when Buffalo is gonna 2615 02:13:28,840 --> 02:13:31,800 Speaker 7: self correct. After the Jacksonville game, Bill's gonna roll on 2616 02:13:31,880 --> 02:13:33,640 Speaker 7: him and Brown and I were we just kind of 2617 02:13:34,080 --> 02:13:34,440 Speaker 7: you were. 2618 02:13:34,560 --> 02:13:36,440 Speaker 2: I still felt they'd be okay, but I was wrong. 2619 02:13:36,560 --> 02:13:38,240 Speaker 7: Well, I felt like they were gonna you know, we 2620 02:13:38,280 --> 02:13:39,920 Speaker 7: felt like they were going to roll up on them, 2621 02:13:40,080 --> 02:13:41,880 Speaker 7: you know, particularly if they got up on them, but 2622 02:13:42,760 --> 02:13:46,240 Speaker 7: certainly didn't happen that way. Bill's played bad, gotta win. 2623 02:13:46,320 --> 02:13:50,320 Speaker 7: Giants played great and took the loss. Right, but it 2624 02:13:50,400 --> 02:13:54,960 Speaker 7: was a historic way to lose a game. Yes, but 2625 02:13:55,040 --> 02:13:55,960 Speaker 7: it was a weird week. 2626 02:13:56,080 --> 02:13:59,920 Speaker 2: You're right about that too, Fred, because the undefeated Niners 2627 02:14:00,200 --> 02:14:04,560 Speaker 2: a backup quarterback, lost, The Eagles played a backup quarterback, 2628 02:14:04,760 --> 02:14:09,480 Speaker 2: undefeated lost. The Bills played a backup quarterback and fortunately won. 2629 02:14:10,000 --> 02:14:12,680 Speaker 2: So relish the victory and move on to the next week. 2630 02:14:12,960 --> 02:14:14,600 Speaker 2: Break time for us. Steve and I close it up 2631 02:14:14,600 --> 02:14:33,520 Speaker 2: next yere on One Bill's Live. All right, welcome back 2632 02:14:33,520 --> 02:14:37,200 Speaker 2: to One Bills Live. Some final thoughts. Got a tweet 2633 02:14:37,680 --> 02:14:40,840 Speaker 2: question where they ask, hey, guys, would you go no 2634 02:14:41,000 --> 02:14:44,000 Speaker 2: huddle to help the offense get into a rhythm? Quicker, 2635 02:14:44,080 --> 02:14:46,520 Speaker 2: the Bills have actually tried that. They've done some of 2636 02:14:46,560 --> 02:14:49,400 Speaker 2: that over the course of the first six weeks, with 2637 02:14:49,840 --> 02:14:55,240 Speaker 2: mixed results, I would say, And I don't think they 2638 02:14:55,280 --> 02:14:58,200 Speaker 2: wanted to do that against the Jaguars very much because 2639 02:14:58,240 --> 02:15:00,160 Speaker 2: their defense had been on the field for so long 2640 02:15:00,160 --> 02:15:01,320 Speaker 2: and had incurred injuries. 2641 02:15:01,400 --> 02:15:02,040 Speaker 7: That's the risk. 2642 02:15:02,160 --> 02:15:05,280 Speaker 2: But yeah, that is the risk, And I don't know. 2643 02:15:05,360 --> 02:15:07,720 Speaker 2: You may have to try it though. I remember there 2644 02:15:07,720 --> 02:15:10,400 Speaker 2: were times even last year where they started running like 2645 02:15:10,400 --> 02:15:12,880 Speaker 2: a two minute drill type offense to try to kick 2646 02:15:12,880 --> 02:15:14,720 Speaker 2: it into a rhythm. You may have to try something 2647 02:15:14,760 --> 02:15:15,000 Speaker 2: like that. 2648 02:15:15,080 --> 02:15:16,840 Speaker 7: Yeah, and they've been successful in the two minutes. I 2649 02:15:16,840 --> 02:15:19,920 Speaker 7: mean the forty five second drive in against Jacksonville they 2650 02:15:19,920 --> 02:15:21,839 Speaker 7: looked really good. Of course that was a different defensive 2651 02:15:21,840 --> 02:15:25,480 Speaker 7: scheme for the Jacksonville Jaguars. But yeah, they'll try everything, 2652 02:15:25,480 --> 02:15:28,320 Speaker 7: and everything's on the table. But with every risk or 2653 02:15:28,360 --> 02:15:32,200 Speaker 7: try attempt that you make, there's a backhanded backside of 2654 02:15:32,200 --> 02:15:34,240 Speaker 7: that blade too, So you gotta watch it. 2655 02:15:34,560 --> 02:15:36,320 Speaker 2: We'll see you tomorrow with Dan Orlovsky
