63
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 1: were talking about the Ryder Cup. That was it, Oh

64
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 1: killed nineteen twenty three years ago. I'll tell you what

65
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:15,640
Speaker 1: I will do this in the other go ahead on

66
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 1: the list of compelling sporting events that I have ever

67
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 1: attended in my life that is at or near the top.

68
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 1: I'm telling you that was unbelievable. I went to again.

69
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 1: I was thinking with Thursday, Saturday Sunday that weekend or Thursday,

70
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 1: Friday Sunday. That's what I did. It was amazing. I mean,

71
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 1: drama all over the course. And I'm like, you've been

72
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 1: to a golf tournament. You think, Oh, I've been to

73
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 1: a golf tournament. Ryder Cup match play, that's different. Every

74
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 1: match matters. You know, you don't want You're not watching

75
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 1: guys who are twelve over prior and have no chance

76
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 1: to do anything here. Yeah, and the whole match, their

77
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 1: whole day is wrapped up right where they're at. They

78
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 1: don't have to think about the leaderboard or this or that.

79
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 1: It's about the guy you're planning us right there in

80
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 1: that force amount. I mean, it's the tensions palpable. And

81
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 1: I think back in ninety five now, I think that

82
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 1: really helped propel the Ryder Cup to this big, huge,

83
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 1: tell vision event that it's become over the last twenty years.

84
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 1: Was that, you know, it got to beat Nick Faldo,

85
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 1: beat beat Curtis Strange, who had won the US Open

86
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 1: at oak Hill, and he beat him on eighteen on

87
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:18,839
Speaker 1: the eighteenth hole, and the Euros took the Cup. Yeah,

88
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:22,040
Speaker 1: it was oh my god, and the and the US

89
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 1: had been lumping up the Euros for a long time

90
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 1: up until that, and that was like a big moment. Yeah,

91
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:27,799
Speaker 1: it was great. It was one of the best sport

92
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 1: events I've ever and it's on, and it's on, and

93
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 1: they're having it in France now this weekend and you can,

94
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 1: obviously you can catch up all the coverage of that

95
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 1: if you want. But I'm telling you what I as

96
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 1: a golfer, it's a big deal. And not like you know,

97
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:43,040
Speaker 1: it's not as big this year as it has been

98
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:45,360
Speaker 1: in past for me because I'm doing this other thing.

99
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:49,159
Speaker 1: I'm here with you with you. This thing today includes

100
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 1: covering the Bills practice. They're back on the practice field

101
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 1: inside the ad Pro Sports Training Center today and that's

102
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 1: where our man Chris Brown, Bills Insider Buffalo Bills dot

103
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 1: Com is sandybody ready to give us a look and

104
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 1: a description of what he sees at practice today. Good afternoon, Chris.

105
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:07,719
Speaker 1: How are you well? Guys? We're inside rain. Yeah, rain.

106
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 1: It was raining hard earlier today, so it would make

107
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 1: sense at their inside. Well. The injury list is interesting

108
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 1: this week, Chris, and interesting for both teams, including the Packers.

109
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:19,160
Speaker 1: Will get to that later, but I think the focus

110
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 1: of attention is going to be pretty much Lashawn McCoy,

111
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:25,160
Speaker 1: wouldn't you say, right? And it was good to hear that.

112
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 1: Coach McDermott described it as considerable, considerable progress in terms

113
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:34,359
Speaker 1: of him recovering from that cracked rib cartilage. He is

114
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 1: limited again today and again this week. He still has

115
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 1: the red non contact jersey on, as does Marcus Murphy,

116
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 1: who also is dealing with a rib injury, the nature

117
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,600
Speaker 1: of which has not been divulged by the team or

118
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,039
Speaker 1: by coach. He just labeled it a rib injury and

119
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 1: left it at that, But He too has a red

120
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 1: non contact jersey, as does Charles Clay tight end, who's

121
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 1: also going to be on the injury list and limited today.

122
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 1: The good news from a defensive standpoint, Shack Lawson is

123
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:08,360
Speaker 1: back practicing after missing all of last week and each

124
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:10,840
Speaker 1: of the last two games with his hamstring injury, so

125
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 1: hopefully he is looking good to play on Sunday at

126
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:16,920
Speaker 1: Green Bay. And then Trent Murphy is out here practicing.

127
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 1: He's a little hobbled with the ankle injury, not moving

128
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:23,160
Speaker 1: super well right now, so I don't anticipate him doing

129
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 1: much more beyond individual position drills, which they're in right now. Hey,

130
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 1: I want to talk to you a little bit about

131
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 1: the Buffalo offense, and it's our Twitter poll later today.

132
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 1: We don't have to get into that with you, but

133
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:37,039
Speaker 1: there's room for improvement offensively, and I think really in

134
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:39,159
Speaker 1: the run game. Right McCoy didn't play last week, We

135
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:41,119
Speaker 1: get that, but even in the first couple of games

136
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 1: he was, he was not a factor in those two

137
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 1: horrible performances to start the season. At some point here,

138
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,479
Speaker 1: if the Bills are gonna have any chance of being

139
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:51,799
Speaker 1: a decent team, they're gonna have to get that running

140
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 1: game going, why not this week against a green Bay

141
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 1: defense that could be vulnerable, right, Yeah, And it's a

142
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 1: green Bay defense that has had trouble stopping people on

143
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 1: the ground and through the air. They made Adrian Peterson

144
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 1: look like he was twenty five years old again last

145
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 1: week with the game he had for Washington in the

146
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 1: win over Green Bay. But they're twenty sixth in the

147
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 1: league against the run. They're giving up almost one hundred

148
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 1: and twenty five yards on the ground per game, and

149
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 1: they're also susceptible to big plays over the top. You know,

150
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 1: Washington goes right after him last week, fourth play of

151
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 1: the game and they hit it for a forty six

152
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 1: yard touchdown. They've given up sixteen plays of twenty yards

153
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 1: or more in just the first three games. That's not

154
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 1: an extraordinary number, but it's higher than average. And there's

155
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 1: been a lot written about their two safeties this week

156
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 1: and how they are having miscommunication issues with their cornerbacks

157
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 1: in terms of leverage, help, who's got help, wear, and

158
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 1: the like, and it's caused problems. And now they've got

159
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 1: an injury to one of their corners, Kevin King. He's

160
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 1: got a groin injury and That's why today the Packers

161
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 1: signed Bashad Breland, who was a free agent formerly at Washington. Yeah,

162
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 1: well we can while their defense may look gettable, I mean,

163
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 1: let's pump the brakes a little bit. We've got a

164
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 1: rookie quarterback who is looking to develop. Now, this may

165
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:06,800
Speaker 1: be a great time if Lashawn McCoy was healthy, if

166
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 1: Marcus Murphy was healthy, if Chris Ivory can stay healthy,

167
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 1: and their offensive line didn't have some issues. You know,

168
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 1: you might think this is a day where they're gonna

169
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 1: grind the football out, run at thirty five times, throw

170
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 1: it ten times or fifteen times, and win this game.

171
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 1: But let's face it, they're gonna have to keep up

172
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 1: with the Packers offense, whether Aaron Rodgers is healthy or not.

173
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 1: They're gonna air it out right. And I found it

174
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 1: interesting that coach McDermott admitted on Monday we felt the

175
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:37,720
Speaker 1: better approach last week was to start with the pass

176
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:41,560
Speaker 1: and use the run as the compliment. They obviously felt

177
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 1: their matchups were better there and believed in what Josh

178
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 1: CoA do for them as far as offensive production was concerned.

179
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:49,720
Speaker 1: Are they going to feel the same way this week

180
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 1: when you're facing as I mentioned the twenty six ranked

181
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:55,679
Speaker 1: run defense, that's maybe that's the more conservative way to go.

182
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 1: But with all the problems that Green Bay has had

183
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 1: in their secondary, and yes, Breelan's a good player, but

184
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 1: if he has to play and be in the lineup

185
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 1: next week, you know he's not going to be super

186
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 1: comfortable in terms of playing off the other players, most

187
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 1: notably the safeties. So maybe there are some opportunities to

188
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 1: be had there as well. Do they go right back

189
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 1: to the well and try to use the pass game

190
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 1: and use the run game as a compliment, knowing they're

191
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 1: still a little bit banged up there. Yeah, a lot

192
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,559
Speaker 1: of a lot of Josh Allen's completions early in the game,

193
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 1: particularly we're short hitches, a little dump off passes, and

194
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 1: they used the screen game a bunch, And I think

195
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:32,320
Speaker 1: that there was probably an anticipation of the Vikings thinking,

196
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 1: listen to Bill's offensive line struggling a little bit, They're

197
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 1: probably gonna try, well, let's let's see if we can

198
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:39,080
Speaker 1: get after their quarterback and get through some pressure. And

199
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 1: the Bills kind of use that anticipation to, you know,

200
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 1: to sprout a screen game with Josh Allen, right, and

201
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:48,400
Speaker 1: then they set up better plays a little later in

202
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 1: the game by using that screen game and the swing passes,

203
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:54,719
Speaker 1: because as we know, you know, you had the linebacker

204
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:57,839
Speaker 1: Pike on the swing pass that Josh Allen fake to

205
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:01,080
Speaker 1: the right flat and then Jason Crum's run and there's

206
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:03,240
Speaker 1: nothing but green grass around him for ten yards in

207
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:05,720
Speaker 1: every direction and it ends up going for a touchdown.

208
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:09,840
Speaker 1: So I'm interested to see what they feel their best

209
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:12,680
Speaker 1: foot forward will be with respect to the offensive game

210
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,440
Speaker 1: plan this week with all the variables that we mentioned.

211
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 1: Chris Brown Bills inside of Buffalo Bills dot Com on

212
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:21,200
Speaker 1: the practice field inside the ad Pro Sports Training Center

213
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 1: as we speak as the Bills begin to practice week

214
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 1: getting set for the Green Bay Packers on Sunday. Hey,

215
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 1: Chris roster moves. Yesterday, first of all, the Bills traded

216
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:33,440
Speaker 1: away Marshall Newhouse to Carolina in exchange for a future

217
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 1: conditional draft choice. He's safe to say that they were

218
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:40,080
Speaker 1: not happy with what they were getting from Marshall. Newhouse

219
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:42,120
Speaker 1: is one of their free agent signings, right, I mean,

220
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:45,200
Speaker 1: that's pretty clear. Yeah, And I'm going to tip my

221
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 1: hat to Brandon being forgetting something for a guy that

222
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:52,199
Speaker 1: I mean to be honest, his play was not memorable,

223
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 1: and I think that's being kind. I mean, his time

224
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 1: on the field has been limited. He's been a backup,

225
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 1: you know, tackle largely here through the first three weeks

226
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:03,680
Speaker 1: and in the two or three instances where he would

227
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:06,000
Speaker 1: get on the field as a tackle eligible in the

228
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 1: last two games, his first snap on the field he

229
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:12,679
Speaker 1: committed a penalty. Yep, you just can't have it. I mean,

230
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 1: if your opportunities are gonna be few and far between,

231
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:17,200
Speaker 1: you can't screw him up. And he screwed him up

232
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 1: in multiple weeks, and you know that earned him a

233
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:22,840
Speaker 1: ticket out of here. So that's where it is. To

234
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:24,920
Speaker 1: take his spot on the roster. They signed a free

235
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:28,679
Speaker 1: agent offensive line in Jeremiah Searles, who was with the

236
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:32,839
Speaker 1: Carolina He got an injury settlement with Carolina a couple

237
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:34,200
Speaker 1: of weeks ago. What do you know about him and

238
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 1: what does he bring to the party. Yeah, I mean

239
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:39,720
Speaker 1: he's not, you know, a wet behind the years, inexperienced

240
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 1: kind of player. He's played thirty games in the NFL.

241
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:46,319
Speaker 1: Fifteen of those were starts, most of those coming with Minnesota.

242
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:49,520
Speaker 1: Fourteen of those fifteen career starts came in Minnesota. He

243
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:52,239
Speaker 1: was basically filling in as a backup, just an opportunity

244
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 1: to get starts due to a starter coming out of

245
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 1: the lineup. You know, I talked to a couple of

246
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:58,679
Speaker 1: people in Minnesota that I know, and you know, he

247
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:02,040
Speaker 1: didn't have a great go of it in Minnesota. He

248
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 1: was a younger player than two years removed from that time,

249
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:08,720
Speaker 1: So you know, you want to believe that he's improved

250
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 1: and he is better. Is long. You know, he's six

251
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:14,320
Speaker 1: six three fifteen long arms, And I believe he was

252
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 1: one of the tryout players here last Friday when they

253
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 1: had a host of guys trying out both at the

254
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:23,079
Speaker 1: offensive line positions and at the defensive back positions. Those

255
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:25,600
Speaker 1: are the two positions they were focusing on due mainly

256
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:27,679
Speaker 1: to some of the injuries they've had and probably due

257
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:30,840
Speaker 1: to a certain extent to performance on the offensive line there.

258
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 1: So we'll see how he does and how quickly he

259
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:36,240
Speaker 1: can get up to speed with the scheme the blocking

260
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 1: techniques that coach Castillo employees and demands of his players.

261
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 1: You know, that still leaves them with ten offensive linemen

262
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 1: on the fifty three man roster, which is a little

263
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:49,080
Speaker 1: bit fatter number than you typically see around the league. Yeah,

264
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 1: and you don't. We don't anticipate any changes the offensive line,

265
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:56,840
Speaker 1: although Groy may be moved back and Bodine may have

266
00:12:56,840 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 1: solidified his spot as the starting center. Yeah, I would.

267
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:02,680
Speaker 1: I would expect Bodin to be back in the lineup.

268
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:04,439
Speaker 1: He left late in the game last week due to

269
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 1: muscle cramps, so I anticipated him to be fine this week.

270
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:11,000
Speaker 1: And you know, I think if you're looking for a

271
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 1: major difference in terms of where the offensive line was

272
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 1: better than they were in previous weeks, I would say

273
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 1: the protection calls were more consistent with Minnesota than they

274
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:25,079
Speaker 1: were in the Chargers game or the Ravens game. They

275
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 1: just had things blocked up better, in my opinion. And

276
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 1: you know, you got a credit Bodin with that for

277
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:34,079
Speaker 1: recognizing what's coming at them, getting the call communicated or

278
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:36,960
Speaker 1: changed at the line pre snap, and you're helping your

279
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:39,319
Speaker 1: rookie quarterback out that way, because there's one less thing

280
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 1: he's got to worry about. Chris Brown is on the

281
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 1: practice field. Well, Chris, here's a question about the Buffalo offense,

282
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 1: and Steve and I are going to talk about it

283
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 1: more in depth as our show goes along today. We're

284
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:52,320
Speaker 1: on the year till three today. But as far as

285
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 1: room for improvement, one of the things I think the

286
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:57,480
Speaker 1: Bills have to look at is getting the ball more

287
00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:00,360
Speaker 1: to their wide receivers. We were crunching out some numbers

288
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:03,079
Speaker 1: came across this Josh Allen twenty ninth in the league

289
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:06,240
Speaker 1: in a percentage of completion to wide receivers. A forty

290
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 1: six percent of his completion so far have been to whiteouts.

291
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 1: Fifty percent of his attempts have been to whiteouts. They

292
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:13,680
Speaker 1: got to get those guys more involved. They have to

293
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 1: play better those wide receivers. But I would think the

294
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 1: Bills are looking to kind of what expand their offense

295
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 1: a little bit. Maybe get down for you a little

296
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 1: bit and use the wide receivers more, right, Yeah, I

297
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 1: mean that would be an ideal world. You know. Again,

298
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:30,680
Speaker 1: I think the focus last week was to get high

299
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 1: percentage throws early to help get Josh into a passing

300
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 1: rhythm and build his confidence, because I think that was

301
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:39,680
Speaker 1: the thing that was sorely lacking from his first start

302
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 1: against the Chargers. He just never seemed to get into

303
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 1: any kind of passing rhythm, and that counts a lot

304
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 1: for a quarterback in terms of executing the offense and

305
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 1: moving the football on a consistent basis, staying on the field,

306
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:55,160
Speaker 1: moving the sticks, etc. Etc. So I think in the

307
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:57,040
Speaker 1: grand scheme of things, yeah, they want to get the

308
00:14:57,120 --> 00:15:00,040
Speaker 1: receivers more involved, and it's easy to do that and

309
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 1: do a lot of short passes to receivers as well,

310
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 1: whether it's bubble screens or you know, uh, shovel passes

311
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 1: with a guy coming across the formation. I mean, that's

312
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 1: an easy way to get them more involved. Yes, they

313
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:14,560
Speaker 1: took a couple of deep shots to Robert Foster they

314
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:17,680
Speaker 1: couldn't connect. They got mcleoud involved right away on a

315
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 1: receiver screen on the first play of the game, So

316
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 1: there there are avenues to get those numbers up. I

317
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:27,120
Speaker 1: know you're probably thinking more of the downfield nature. I

318
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:29,000
Speaker 1: think it will come in time. I just don't know

319
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:31,520
Speaker 1: if it's going to come right away this coming week.

320
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 1: One of the things I was noticing too is the

321
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:37,240
Speaker 1: emergence of guys like Ray Ray mcleoud, Robert Foster, Zay Jones,

322
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:39,560
Speaker 1: and of course Andre Holmes had a couple of targets

323
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 1: in the game as well. I mean, these are guys

324
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:45,360
Speaker 1: and I'm the most excited or the most curious about

325
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 1: Ray Ray McLeod, Robert Foster, as well as Zay Jones

326
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 1: a little bit. But those two guys, I think if

327
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 1: he's talk about, you know, just four months ago they

328
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 1: were long shots. And now Robert Foster in particular has

329
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:02,160
Speaker 1: started to elevate himself and rise through the depth chart

330
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:05,640
Speaker 1: until he's getting some targets and really had some opportunities

331
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 1: in the game against the Vikings to make some big

332
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:11,160
Speaker 1: plays they just missed right, And you know, I think

333
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 1: it's a guy that's still feeling his way here. I

334
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:16,480
Speaker 1: don't think they're giving him too much to handle. I

335
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 1: think coach Dabele, who obviously knows him from his time

336
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:22,240
Speaker 1: with him last year at Alabama, is trying and knows

337
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:25,040
Speaker 1: how much to give him and where the breaking point

338
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 1: is in terms of overloading him. But I gotta tell you, guys,

339
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 1: Robert Foster spends an ordinate amount of time with the

340
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 1: assistant offensive coaches up in the meeting rooms upstairs. Whenever

341
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 1: he is not in a position group meeting or an

342
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 1: offensive group meeting or on the practice field, he's upstairs

343
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 1: because he wants to get all his teas crossed and

344
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 1: his eyes dotted, so he knows as much as he

345
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 1: possibly can so he can play fast, because playing fast

346
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:55,400
Speaker 1: is what he does best. So if he's out there thinking,

347
00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 1: he knows he's only going to slow himself down and

348
00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:00,360
Speaker 1: hurt his opportunities to get on the field. So he

349
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 1: certainly has the work ethic that has very quickly gained

350
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:05,280
Speaker 1: the respect at the coaching staff. Now he's just got

351
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:07,520
Speaker 1: to go out and make those plays. As for McLeod,

352
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:10,919
Speaker 1: he's a completely different player than Foster. He's a space player,

353
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:13,920
Speaker 1: and so I envision a lot of his work happening

354
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:17,360
Speaker 1: within ten yards of the line of scrimmage because they

355
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:19,680
Speaker 1: want to get him out in space, make somebody miss,

356
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:22,600
Speaker 1: and then get yards after the catch. He's not a

357
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:24,720
Speaker 1: guy that's gonna win a lot of jump balls. He's

358
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 1: slight framed. He's not gonna be boxing out defenders and

359
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 1: fighting for footballs. They've got to find a way, either

360
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:33,520
Speaker 1: on rub plays or something else, to get him out

361
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:35,720
Speaker 1: in space so then he can take over with the

362
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 1: ball in his hands. He was a running back as

363
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:41,560
Speaker 1: a young kid, so he's used to eluding people and

364
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:45,240
Speaker 1: getting yards that way. So now moving to the receiver

365
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:47,480
Speaker 1: position here at the NFL level, which he also did

366
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:50,159
Speaker 1: at college. You know, he's a space player, so I

367
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:51,920
Speaker 1: envisioned that's how they're going to be using him. Yeah,

368
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:53,480
Speaker 1: and I like to hear you guys talk about, you know,

369
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 1: more development from McLeod and Foster coming along. I'm not

370
00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:59,159
Speaker 1: giving up on number thirteen yet, Calvin Benjamin. They need

371
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:00,960
Speaker 1: a lot more from him, and I know it's been

372
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:03,679
Speaker 1: three kind of rough games for Calvin Benjamin Chris, but

373
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:06,000
Speaker 1: as I said, I'm not giving up. I think there's

374
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:07,520
Speaker 1: more to come from him, and I think the Bill's

375
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 1: coaching sat fills that way. Also, he's got to get

376
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 1: his catch percentage up, but I don't think there's any

377
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:14,040
Speaker 1: question about that. Too many drops. It's not that they're

378
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:16,400
Speaker 1: not targeting him. He's just not coming down with the football.

379
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:19,760
Speaker 1: And when you have as big a catch radius as

380
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:22,200
Speaker 1: he does and as big a hands as he does,

381
00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:25,600
Speaker 1: you're expected to come down with almost everything, and that

382
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 1: just has not happened. I think he's been fighting the

383
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:31,520
Speaker 1: football a little bit. He's allowed some balls to get

384
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:34,200
Speaker 1: into his chest instead of catching him with his hands,

385
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:37,360
Speaker 1: and that always presents problems, especially for guys with long

386
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:39,199
Speaker 1: arms because you got to go from here and now

387
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 1: suddenly you got to bring it into here and cradle

388
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 1: that ball. He's got to get that, he's got to

389
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 1: make those catches away from his body and pull him

390
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:48,640
Speaker 1: in that way. He's a much more effective receiver when

391
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:51,919
Speaker 1: he does that. And I know, guys that it's largely

392
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:53,879
Speaker 1: because of the fifty seven yard catch he had in

393
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:56,920
Speaker 1: week two. But Zay Jones very quietly leaves his team

394
00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:59,600
Speaker 1: in receiving yards with just over a hundred, which I

395
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:02,040
Speaker 1: know is anything to write home about. But there he

396
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:03,879
Speaker 1: is at the top of the leaderboard. Yeah, I'd like

397
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:05,680
Speaker 1: to switch gears and go to the other side of

398
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:09,680
Speaker 1: the football. The Bill's front really stepped it up last week.

399
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:11,800
Speaker 1: Now you've got Trent Murphy dragon around on ankle. Doesn't

400
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 1: look like he's gonna be one hundred percent. Don't know

401
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:15,200
Speaker 1: if Shack Lawson is going to be on there. Looks

402
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:17,479
Speaker 1: like they're gonna take a hit to their personnel's side

403
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 1: on their defensive scheme. Plus, we've heard the Green Bay

404
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 1: Packers have an elite left tackle in Bok tr and

405
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:26,560
Speaker 1: Jerry Hughes is going to have his hands full trying

406
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:29,120
Speaker 1: to get there. As well, so the Bill's pass rush

407
00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:33,439
Speaker 1: might take a big hit after showing some promise last week. Yeah,

408
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:36,639
Speaker 1: I mean yes, they are facing a better caliber left tackle.

409
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 1: I don't think there's any question about that. But the

410
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 1: right side of the offensive line is beat up for

411
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:44,440
Speaker 1: Green Bay right now. Steve Brian Bulaga exited the game

412
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:47,680
Speaker 1: last week with a back injury. They're starting right guard.

413
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:50,520
Speaker 1: McCrae is not gonna play. They're gonna fill him in

414
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 1: with Byron Bell, a veteran player who's played mostly tackle.

415
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 1: He's gonna go into guard. So there could be some

416
00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 1: opportunities on the left side of the Bill's defensive line

417
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:00,280
Speaker 1: if Jerry's tied up with Bok tr All right, Chris,

418
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:03,760
Speaker 1: thanks very much. We appreciate it. Chris Brown Bills Inside

423
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 1: of practice is over and everybody's got a clear out. Yeah,

424
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:20,119
Speaker 1: we always know when to take a break from Brownie.

425
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:21,919
Speaker 1: It's good to him there though, And there's a lot

426
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:24,159
Speaker 1: to follow up practice this week. We'll get back with

427
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:27,080
Speaker 1: Chris tomorrow at they started practice as well, So again,

428
00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:28,480
Speaker 1: welcome to the show. We got a lot of ground

429
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:31,159
Speaker 1: to cover today. We just talked to Chris Thurman. Thomas

430
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:32,920
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame running back joins us for his regular

431
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:36,359
Speaker 1: weekly visit today at one o'clock after practice. Safety Jordan

432
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:38,640
Speaker 1: Poyer schedule to join us in studio. We look forward

433
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:41,000
Speaker 1: to that. Chris will be back with coffee with the coach,

434
00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:43,360
Speaker 1: Chris and the head coach, Sean McDermott, and of course

435
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:46,120
Speaker 1: your participation, your phone calls. We talk well, a couple

436
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:47,840
Speaker 1: of news items. Let's talk a little bit about the

437
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:50,119
Speaker 1: news of the day here, the practice going on, a

438
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 1: veteran restde for Lorenzo Alexander Call Williams limited work today

439
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:56,679
Speaker 1: for Lashawan McCoy with his ribs. Marcus Murphy comes up

440
00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:59,639
Speaker 1: with ribs. He's limited today. Shack Lawson limited today with

441
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 1: ham stringing. I think is actually a step forward for

442
00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:04,879
Speaker 1: him as he missed most of practice the last two weeks.

443
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:07,800
Speaker 1: Trent Murphy limited with an ankle. Charles Claty limited today

444
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:10,600
Speaker 1: as well. What else is going on out here? Matt Milano,

445
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:13,119
Speaker 1: AFC Defensive Player of the week for what he did

446
00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:16,440
Speaker 1: against Minnesota, a sack of fumble recovery and an interception

447
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:18,960
Speaker 1: in the Bill's victory. Firstly, got it from Matt Milano,

448
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 1: who is the first AFC Defensive Player of the Week

449
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:24,760
Speaker 1: winner from the Bill since Nikel Robie Coleman one of

450
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:27,160
Speaker 1: two years ago. And we talked about this, the moves

451
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:29,520
Speaker 1: on the offensive line, the Bill signing freege and offensive

452
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:33,480
Speaker 1: lineman Jeremiah Searles late yesterday, most recently with Carolina. He

453
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:35,800
Speaker 1: was on Iron got an injury settlement with the Panthers

454
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:37,720
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago, and to make room, the

455
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:40,159
Speaker 1: Bills traded Marshall Newhouse to the Carolina Panthers for a

456
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:43,960
Speaker 1: future conditional draft choice signed this offseason as a free agent.

457
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:45,520
Speaker 1: All right, you're caught up. You saw a little bit

458
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:47,240
Speaker 1: of practice, you saw you know what, the news of

459
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:49,679
Speaker 1: the day. I think the Packers injury lists are going

460
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:52,760
Speaker 1: to be pretty interesting to follow. Steve Today, Mike McCarthy

461
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:55,480
Speaker 1: said he doesn't know if Aaron Rodgers will practice any

462
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:57,080
Speaker 1: earlier in the week than he has the last two

463
00:21:57,080 --> 00:21:59,440
Speaker 1: weeks when he was only there on Saturday. So he's

464
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:02,120
Speaker 1: played the couple of weeks but has not practiced till Saturday.

465
00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:04,560
Speaker 1: You will not practice today, Aaron Rodgers. He's got that

466
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 1: nice sprain. We'll see. The Packers do not practice on Friday.

467
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:12,840
Speaker 1: Apparently they're on Friday. They practice today, Thursday and Saturday.

468
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 1: Outside linebacker for green Bay. Green Bay Nick Perry in

469
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:21,159
Speaker 1: concussion protocol. Cornerback Kevin King with a growing will not

470
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:24,960
Speaker 1: work today. Chris talked about that the Packers getting ready

471
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:28,359
Speaker 1: to start Byron Bell at right guard Saturday. Justin mccraie

472
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:30,520
Speaker 1: shoulder injury believed to not believe to be long term,

473
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:32,920
Speaker 1: but their word on the exact Progers. So green Bay's

474
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:35,360
Speaker 1: got injuries that they're kind of feeling. You go through

475
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:37,920
Speaker 1: this and I'm getting ready for the Patriots Dolphins game

476
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:39,520
Speaker 1: as well, and you go down the list and you

477
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:41,959
Speaker 1: start looking at these teams and you think, man, are

478
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:44,560
Speaker 1: the Bill's got some issues here. We got we're not

479
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:47,080
Speaker 1: throwing the wide receivers enough. Their offensive line is kind

480
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:48,720
Speaker 1: of starting to get together, but now they've got injuries.

481
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:52,119
Speaker 1: They're defense Every team mass issues exactly like that. You

482
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:54,920
Speaker 1: read that the injury report of the Green Bay Packers.

483
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:57,400
Speaker 1: They've got issues up front as well. I mean everybody

484
00:22:57,440 --> 00:22:59,840
Speaker 1: in the league starts to go through these exact same issues.

485
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:03,520
Speaker 1: And you look at the Patriots. They had three wide

486
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:06,919
Speaker 1: receivers actively yes last week. I mean they everybody's got issues,

487
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:10,959
Speaker 1: so you gotta. It becomes a you know a thing

488
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:14,439
Speaker 1: about attrition. Yeah, which guys are available, And that's one

489
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:16,160
Speaker 1: of the things you talk about in the preseason where

490
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:18,680
Speaker 1: guys have got to be available. LaShaun McCoy was always

491
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 1: available in this where now he's down with a rib injury.

492
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 1: Same thing Marcus Murphy. I think that's all of a sudden,

493
00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:28,640
Speaker 1: that's an issue. With the Buffalo Bills. They got one

494
00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:33,120
Speaker 1: healthy running back. Yeah that's well. They got Taiwan Jones

495
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:36,200
Speaker 1: as well, but he's a special teams guy. But still,

496
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:39,880
Speaker 1: all these issues, you gotta. It becomes a real guessing

497
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:41,720
Speaker 1: game for these teams and who who's gonna be on

498
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:43,640
Speaker 1: the field against him? Who's gonna be on the field

499
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:47,679
Speaker 1: forum And you got to formulate a game plan around

500
00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:50,440
Speaker 1: both those issues, And that's that's where it gets tough

501
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:52,760
Speaker 1: for an NFL coaching staff. I can't wait for this

502
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:55,680
Speaker 1: game on Sunday, and I'll tell you why. It's nothing

503
00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:57,320
Speaker 1: to do with being a lambo I've been to Lambo.

504
00:23:57,400 --> 00:23:59,439
Speaker 1: It's okay, it's it's historic. I like it better than

505
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:02,399
Speaker 1: many stadiums in the NFL. But that's not why Bill's

506
00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:04,520
Speaker 1: got a chance here. Steve. A week ago, I didn't

507
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:06,960
Speaker 1: get that feeling going into Minnesota, and I was dead

508
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 1: wrong about that. But I watched. I watched the Green

509
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:13,680
Speaker 1: Bay game last night, Green Bay Washington, and stunned by

510
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:16,439
Speaker 1: how loose defensively the Packers were on the back end,

511
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:19,320
Speaker 1: especially just giving up big plays, as Brownie pointed out

512
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:21,640
Speaker 1: fourth play of the game, big long touchdown pass by

513
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:26,840
Speaker 1: Alex Smith and Washington. They they're good on offense, and

514
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 1: Rogers is great, future Hall of Famer, but you know

515
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:32,520
Speaker 1: they don't run it that well. They run it okay.

516
00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:34,800
Speaker 1: They're getting a boost with their guy back again who

517
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:38,200
Speaker 1: missed the first three games, the running back who was

518
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:42,480
Speaker 1: out for not performance enhancing but other drug abuse, whose

519
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:44,320
Speaker 1: name is not going to escape me because I'm reading

520
00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:48,520
Speaker 1: it right now, Aaron Jones. He's pretty good, quick, little back,

521
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:50,280
Speaker 1: and he came back last week and you can see

522
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:52,720
Speaker 1: how they might lean on him a little bit. But look,

523
00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:55,880
Speaker 1: I don't think on paper they're as good as Minnesota offense.

524
00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:59,439
Speaker 1: Maybe on defense because of Rodgers, but or maybe on No,

525
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:02,000
Speaker 1: they're better on paper defensively than green Bay a lot

526
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 1: better on offense. Yeah, I don't know. I think green

527
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:09,240
Speaker 1: Bay has Rogers and now they got capable receivers who

528
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 1: are doing pretty good job. I just think this is

529
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:13,359
Speaker 1: a competitive game coming up, even though the Bills are

530
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:14,960
Speaker 1: on the road. Yeah, and I think one of the

531
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:17,320
Speaker 1: things you got to know too, is the Bills looked

532
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:19,960
Speaker 1: much much better on both sides of the football last week.

533
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:21,480
Speaker 1: And one of the reasons I'm excited is I want

534
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:25,359
Speaker 1: to see the Bills offense keep growing. Yeah, I'm not.

535
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:26,880
Speaker 1: I don't expect him to go out there and hang

536
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:29,200
Speaker 1: fifty two points on the Packers, no matter who's playing

537
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:31,639
Speaker 1: for the pack I don't expect Josh Allen to complete

538
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:34,119
Speaker 1: eighty percent of his passes for five new touchdowns. Have

539
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 1: kind of this Patrick Mahomes kind of day. I just

540
00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:38,840
Speaker 1: want to see him play better. I want to see

541
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:41,280
Speaker 1: him use his wide receivers. I want to see Ray

542
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:43,439
Speaker 1: Ray McLeod. I want to see Robert Foster pull in

543
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:45,280
Speaker 1: those deep balls that they're throwing. I want to see

544
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:51,600
Speaker 1: him continue to progress. When loser draw We've We've known this.

545
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:54,240
Speaker 1: I mean, there's a lot to watch in this game,

546
00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:57,639
Speaker 1: and then going into Lambeau and playing against Aaron Rodgers.

547
00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:00,399
Speaker 1: You know, listen, I know this as a player, always

548
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:02,960
Speaker 1: do this. Josh Allen's gonna stand over there on the

549
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:04,600
Speaker 1: sidelines when he's not on the field, and he's gonna

550
00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:07,000
Speaker 1: be watching Aaron Rodgers. Is he gonna be watching what

551
00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:09,440
Speaker 1: he does, how he plays, what he's talking, what he says,

552
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:12,640
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage. It's gonna be looking at their formations.

553
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:15,200
Speaker 1: It's gonna be watching how he handles himself on the field,

554
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:18,240
Speaker 1: what kind of plays he makes. Guys do that, and

555
00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:22,399
Speaker 1: it's gonna be fun to see or talk to Josh

556
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:24,760
Speaker 1: Allen after this game this week and say, you know,

557
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:27,959
Speaker 1: tell me what you saw in that game, because that

558
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:30,160
Speaker 1: guy can play. I think most of us are looking

559
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:33,280
Speaker 1: for the improvement, especially on the offensive side of the ball,

560
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:35,920
Speaker 1: and that takes us right to our Twitter question today.

561
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:38,159
Speaker 1: We'd love to have you participate. You can do it

562
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:39,920
Speaker 1: on the phone. Lines are on Twitter. On the phone

563
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:42,080
Speaker 1: the number two call eight h three oh five fifty

564
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:45,080
Speaker 1: or from outside Buffalo one eight eight eight five fifty

565
00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:48,119
Speaker 1: two five fifty On Twitter, it's at one Bills Live.

566
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:49,879
Speaker 1: You can vote and our Twitter poll and here it

567
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:52,639
Speaker 1: is what is simple what is the next step for

568
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:55,400
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills offensively? And it's a pretty close vote

569
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:57,800
Speaker 1: early early on here with about four hundred votes, what's

570
00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:00,600
Speaker 1: the next step for the Buffalo Bills on offense? On Twitter?

571
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:03,879
Speaker 1: Thirty eight percent of you say get Lashawn McCoy going,

572
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:05,680
Speaker 1: get the run game going, and hasn't really had a

573
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:09,000
Speaker 1: chance to do much of anything yet. Thirty seven percent

574
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:11,879
Speaker 1: of you say sustain offensive drives. More on that in

575
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:13,880
Speaker 1: a moment, but they haven't had a lot of long

576
00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:17,920
Speaker 1: time consuming offensive drives. Twenty four percent of you say

577
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:20,760
Speaker 1: get wide receivers involved. One percent of you have something

578
00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:24,480
Speaker 1: else in mind, Steve, you are a critic of Twitter polls.

579
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:29,200
Speaker 1: That's quality good, that's quality. Can I take credit for it? Yes,

580
00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:31,119
Speaker 1: you can. Thank you thought about it in the car

581
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:33,280
Speaker 1: on the way here to some job pulling that one out,

582
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:36,600
Speaker 1: because let's think it's great, because there is so many

583
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:38,399
Speaker 1: things that everybody wants to say, that's a really good

584
00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:43,359
Speaker 1: important and they only I love your approval. But the

585
00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:45,960
Speaker 1: only reason it's good because of the percentages people are split.

586
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:49,600
Speaker 1: Three years and that makes it interesting. And one of

587
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:51,520
Speaker 1: the reasons is because there's a lot of room for improvement,

588
00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:53,399
Speaker 1: a lot of things. They got to be better on offense.

589
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:54,640
Speaker 1: And I think one of the things too, you're gonna

590
00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:57,919
Speaker 1: get to this minute, that Buffalo leads the league in

591
00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:00,600
Speaker 1: one bad stat most of their drives, what is a

592
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:04,800
Speaker 1: fifty drives into three and out, three and out, they're

593
00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:07,600
Speaker 1: on the field and they're off. That's disaster. Yeah, that's

594
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:11,960
Speaker 1: a problem. Now, no question. That game in in uh

595
00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:16,159
Speaker 1: Baltimore is still kind of an albatrosc around, a statistical

596
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:19,600
Speaker 1: albatross with three games, small sample size, three games, and

597
00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:21,280
Speaker 1: a third of them were as bad as they could

598
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:24,440
Speaker 1: possibly be. Now, they got a little better in the

599
00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:27,800
Speaker 1: Charger game, even though they didn't the second half putting yeah,

600
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:29,800
Speaker 1: the half of it, and they put together some drives

601
00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:33,880
Speaker 1: there and got some statistics going there. Um, the Charger

602
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:36,080
Speaker 1: game was more in line statistically with what the Bills

603
00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:40,280
Speaker 1: did in Minnesota, and Josh Allen completed the sixty eight

604
00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:43,240
Speaker 1: percent of his passes in Minnesota. Yeah, but the three

605
00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:45,240
Speaker 1: and outs are an issue, and they had three three

606
00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:47,400
Speaker 1: and outs in the second half last week in the

607
00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:50,200
Speaker 1: in the win at Minnesota, and it look it and

608
00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:52,320
Speaker 1: it compounds the problem. If you go three and out,

609
00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:54,520
Speaker 1: now your defense is back on the field. They're struggling,

610
00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:56,200
Speaker 1: and they did struggle for a game and a half

611
00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:58,320
Speaker 1: and it kind of gets worse and worse. It just

612
00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:00,600
Speaker 1: sort of builds up. It compounds a problem to me.

613
00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:02,080
Speaker 1: That's what number one thing they have to do is

614
00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:05,280
Speaker 1: get some sustained drives. Even look, they scored on five

615
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:10,160
Speaker 1: consecutive offensive possessions last week at Minnesota, right in the

616
00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:13,720
Speaker 1: first half. The first three they benefited from a couple

617
00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:16,200
Speaker 1: of big penalties. Is it seventy five yards scoring drive?

618
00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:18,800
Speaker 1: Twenty five of the yards came on penalties. Big penalties

619
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:21,440
Speaker 1: kept them going on the next two drives, both scoring drives,

620
00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:23,400
Speaker 1: they hit the short field because of takeaways. Those count.

621
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:25,840
Speaker 1: You gotta cash it on takeaways. That was big. They

622
00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:29,120
Speaker 1: need more takeaways, but they also need to sustain drives

623
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:31,080
Speaker 1: and do better than three and out. That's why that's

624
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:33,160
Speaker 1: in there. What do you think what's the next step

625
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:35,320
Speaker 1: for the Buffalo Bills offense this weekend into the next

626
00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:38,960
Speaker 1: few weeks. Is it sustained offensive drives? I believe it is.

627
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:41,440
Speaker 1: Is it get the wide receivers involved? That would help too,

628
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:43,400
Speaker 1: or is it get les Seawan McCoy in the run

629
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:45,080
Speaker 1: game going. Let us know what you think phone lines

632

Speaker 1: on the Twitter poller. Let us know what you think

633
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:53,880
Speaker 1: on Twitter and we'll read them some of them on

634
00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:58,000
Speaker 1: the tweet sheet. Back at the game in Minnesota, and

635
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:01,280
Speaker 1: the real stark difference between the Minute Soda game statistically

636
00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:03,920
Speaker 1: and the Charger game was that they had thirty eight

637
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:07,480
Speaker 1: rushing plays in the Minnesota game. Thirty eight second half

638
00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:11,520
Speaker 1: ton That's a function of the score, no question about it.

639
00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:14,920
Speaker 1: They only had twenty two in both the Baltimore and

640
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:16,760
Speaker 1: the Charger games. They were trailing and they had to

641
00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:19,400
Speaker 1: air it out. And you know, in the second half

642
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:21,360
Speaker 1: of that game last week, everything's gonna be skewed a

643
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:24,120
Speaker 1: little bit because they were up by so much. And

644
00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:26,479
Speaker 1: let's face it, Brian Daboll was like, listen, we've got this.

645
00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:29,080
Speaker 1: We're gonna try and grind out a first down. We're

646
00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:31,920
Speaker 1: not gonna try and gamble to get a first down.

647
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:34,040
Speaker 1: They played a conservative in the second half, and it

648
00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:35,600
Speaker 1: turned out it was the right thing to do. The

649
00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:38,719
Speaker 1: defense was all over the Vikings and they couldn't get

650
00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:40,920
Speaker 1: anything going, and the Vikings kept going three and out two.

651
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:44,080
Speaker 1: And the second half defense for the offense for the

652
00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:46,600
Speaker 1: Bills last week was all about clock. Let's let's get

653
00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:48,960
Speaker 1: out of here r. Yeah, exactly. And that's that's why,

654
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:52,560
Speaker 1: you know, I think even now with this sample size

655
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:55,080
Speaker 1: of three games, everything skewed the first game. The first game,

656
00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:57,320
Speaker 1: it was skewed one way. The second game it was

657
00:30:57,720 --> 00:30:59,640
Speaker 1: skewed a little bit because of the fact that they

658
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:01,960
Speaker 1: were trailed in the first game, they were leading by

659
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:05,440
Speaker 1: three scores, and you know that skews everything as well.

660
00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:09,080
Speaker 1: So and they weren't they weren't as high up. Well,

661
00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:11,520
Speaker 1: they kind of were as high up in the game

662
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:14,240
Speaker 1: third game as they were down in the first game. Yeah,

663
00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:17,200
Speaker 1: but it still doesn't balance out completely. No, And look,

664
00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:19,040
Speaker 1: the numbers don't tell the whole story. I get that

665
00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:21,480
Speaker 1: maybe you've seen something, maybe you've noticed something about the

666
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:23,960
Speaker 1: Buffalo offense. Where do they need to get better. What's

667
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:26,280
Speaker 1: the next step for the Buffalo offense. We'd like to

668
00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:28,560
Speaker 1: discuss that with you when we come back. On Twitter

00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:46,440
Speaker 1: bit more about this game, and hopefully here from you

677
00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:49,160
Speaker 1: One Bills Live presented by Collada Health. We're coming here

678
00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:52,080
Speaker 1: from One Bill's Drive and this is Buffalo Bill's Radio

679
00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:07,960
Speaker 1: what we call the show One Bill's Live, and we

680

681
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:12,320
Speaker 1: It is raining. I don't know if you can see

682
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:14,680
Speaker 1: it on the MSG fee, but it's barn Ever said

683
00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:16,800
Speaker 1: the last hour and a half. It's really rained hard here.

684
00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:19,840
Speaker 1: Steve Hard right. And the thunderstorm last night, although it

685
00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:22,240
Speaker 1: didn't wake me turn up. I didn't wake me either.

686
00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:24,200
Speaker 1: I heard about it. I saw it when I got up.

687
00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:26,480
Speaker 1: I can see the evidence of it, and I can't

688
00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:28,640
Speaker 1: believe it didn't wake me up me neither. It's a

689
00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:30,720
Speaker 1: time here when you're sleeping with the windows and doors open,

690
00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:34,640
Speaker 1: you know, and good sleeping wea exactly and it didn't

691
00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:37,320
Speaker 1: wake me. Yeah, I was just kind of exhausted after

692
00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:40,560
Speaker 1: working with you all day. You wear me out there, buddy,

693
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:43,520
Speaker 1: were wearing each I'm at home and as I said,

694
00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:48,800
Speaker 1: I made my boards for UM Sunday. Sunday I watched

695
00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:52,320
Speaker 1: the Packers in Washington. Not impressive from Green Bay, but

696
00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:54,400
Speaker 1: I know, you know they've had some They're one one

697
00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:57,640
Speaker 1: and one by the way, wind tie loss. What's next?

698
00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:01,720
Speaker 1: What more can they do? Anyway? And on the basis

699
00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:05,640
Speaker 1: and uh, I don't know about this game. Now, there

700
00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:08,280
Speaker 1: is this. We mentioned this briefly with Chris Brown. Matt

701
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:11,040
Speaker 1: Milano builds a linebacker with the big game last week,

702
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:14,880
Speaker 1: a sack of fumber, recovering interception, eight tackles, a quarterback hit,

703
00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:17,960
Speaker 1: a couple of pass breakups. Matt Milano understandably, he's the

704
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:20,440
Speaker 1: AFC Defensive Player of the Week, first time he's ever

705
00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:23,080
Speaker 1: won that award. Sean McDermot talking about today at his

706
00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:25,160
Speaker 1: news conference, he talked about Matt Milano and the work

707
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:27,960
Speaker 1: he's put in to get that kind of leadwide recognition.

708
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:31,760
Speaker 1: And I think he and Bob Babbish, our linebackers coach,

709
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:35,600
Speaker 1: have formed a nice nice union together. In terms of

710
00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:39,480
Speaker 1: his development, matts development. You know, Matt was played some

711
00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:42,760
Speaker 1: dB a little bit on his way through and and

712
00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:47,400
Speaker 1: the athleticism overall is what we identified in the draft process.

713
00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:51,800
Speaker 1: And he continues to get better, um and and so

714
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:55,400
Speaker 1: UM that's a good thing for us obviously, his growth,

715
00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:58,200
Speaker 1: his development, UM, whether it's in the run game, the

716
00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:02,600
Speaker 1: pass game. He plays some special teams as well. So

717
00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:05,160
Speaker 1: I've really been pleased with the way he's played him.

718
00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:07,640
Speaker 1: To take with this past weekend, Matt Milanna was on

719
00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:11,360
Speaker 1: our show just yesterday. Was it? Yeah, here's what Monday?

720
00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:14,360
Speaker 1: It was Monday. He wasn't on yesterday, No, it was Monday.

721
00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:16,560
Speaker 1: It was Monday. Yeah, you're right, hey, but here's start

722
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:18,399
Speaker 1: thinking about Milan. I was thinking about this today, Steve.

723
00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:20,279
Speaker 1: He's that kind of run around and think about the

724
00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:23,359
Speaker 1: Bills twenty four seven. Milano has been coming off the

725
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:26,960
Speaker 1: field on early in this season, I mean Game one basically,

726
00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:30,080
Speaker 1: and much of a Game two, coming off on third downs.

727
00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:34,560
Speaker 1: Lorenzo Alexander stays out there with Tremaine Edmonds. He's been

728
00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:36,879
Speaker 1: coming off on third downs. I wonder if that'll change

729
00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:38,839
Speaker 1: now with his production, and he stayed on more third

730
00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:40,560
Speaker 1: downs this past week, by the way, played on more

731
00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:43,239
Speaker 1: third downs. The other thing he's been spelled too by

732
00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:45,839
Speaker 1: Ramon Humber just on first and second downs. I wonder

733
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:47,960
Speaker 1: if that changes a little bit now. We'll see. We'll

734
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:50,800
Speaker 1: see on Sunday. Do they get more reps more snaps

735
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:54,200
Speaker 1: for Matt Milano because of his outstanding performance against Minnesota.

736
00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:56,320
Speaker 1: That's just something to keep an eye on this Sunday

737
00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:57,879
Speaker 1: in the week's ahead. I think one of the things

738
00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:01,880
Speaker 1: that happened, they put Lorenzo in a DT a defensive

739
00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:06,120
Speaker 1: tackle on a pass rush they rushed. They had Jerry Hughes,

740
00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:12,080
Speaker 1: Kyle Williams, Lorenzo Alexander, and Trent Murphy on in pass

741
00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:16,399
Speaker 1: rush and so they were both so they so they

742
00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:21,000
Speaker 1: took out either Starlo two Lelei or Harry Phillips and

743
00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:23,640
Speaker 1: stuck Lorenzo in on the D line with his hand

744
00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:26,360
Speaker 1: on the ground or off the ground, and then stuck

745
00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:29,759
Speaker 1: Milano in at Lorenzo's spot a linebacker. So Lorenzo got

746
00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:31,840
Speaker 1: some I mean, so Milano got some extra snaps, and

747
00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:34,560
Speaker 1: obviously they turned into huge plays. And they put Lorenzo

748
00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:37,200
Speaker 1: in on the pass rush up front. So that was

749
00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:40,919
Speaker 1: a move that was made I didn't see in week

750
00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:43,640
Speaker 1: one or two. Maybe it'll continue, It depends on I

751
00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:45,880
Speaker 1: think it might depend on what happens with Trent Murphy

752
00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:47,759
Speaker 1: and his It was halftime of the Chargers game Week

753
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:50,439
Speaker 1: two where you began to see Lorenzo playing up front

754
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:53,719
Speaker 1: more as a defensive lineman, sometimes even inside on the

755
00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:59,319
Speaker 1: defensive line, and that meant Milano, you know, stayed down

756
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:01,839
Speaker 1: the field that as the outside linebacker. We'll see how

757
00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:04,520
Speaker 1: that plays out. Give us your thoughts. Our Twitter poll

758
00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:07,439
Speaker 1: today deals with the Bill's offense, not the Buffalo defense.

759
00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:09,960
Speaker 1: Who I don't know from you. What's the next step,

760
00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:12,560
Speaker 1: the next thing that the Buffalo offense has to get

761
00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:14,840
Speaker 1: done this week into the near future. What do you

762
00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:18,719
Speaker 1: think on Twitter? We put up these options. Thirty six

763
00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:21,839
Speaker 1: percent of you think that it's sustained offensive drives, get

764
00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:24,040
Speaker 1: away from the three and ounce. Thirty seven percent say that,

765
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:26,719
Speaker 1: thirty eight percent say get the running game going with

766
00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:29,640
Speaker 1: Lashawn McCoy if he's healthy this week, that could happen.

767
00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:32,759
Speaker 1: Twenty four percent say get the wide receivers involved, two

768
00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:34,759
Speaker 1: percent have something else to say. Let us know what

769
00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:36,759
Speaker 1: you think. Give us a call. Eight oh three five

770
00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:39,439
Speaker 1: fifty toll free one eight eight eight five fifty two

771
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:41,720
Speaker 1: five fifty. The lines are open and people are responding

772
00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:43,840
Speaker 1: on Twitter. Two right from the From the tweet sheet

773
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:47,000
Speaker 1: from Joe Deffkill, I believe sustaining offensive drives and getting

774
00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:50,879
Speaker 1: McCoy go, getting McCoy going go hand in hand. Sure,

775
00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:53,560
Speaker 1: if Allen can keep the box down to seven by

776
00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:55,640
Speaker 1: connecting on some deep throws and the O line can

777
00:36:55,719 --> 00:36:58,799
Speaker 1: duplicate what they did in Minnesota, McCoy could have a

778
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:01,560
Speaker 1: good game this week. That makes good sense. And he's right,

779
00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:04,400
Speaker 1: I mean, all the offensive problems go kind of go

780
00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:08,000
Speaker 1: hand in hand. Also on the tweet sheet from Brian Cook,

781
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:09,680
Speaker 1: I think the next step for the offense is to

782
00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:11,839
Speaker 1: have a full game of production. Last week, we let

783
00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:13,399
Speaker 1: things up in the first half, but took the foot

784
00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:15,200
Speaker 1: off the pedal in the second. We didn't need extra

785
00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:17,600
Speaker 1: points in that game, but one of these weeks we will.

786
00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:20,840
Speaker 1: So we need to prove we can. And that's a

787
00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:22,640
Speaker 1: good point as well. You're right, I mean they wanted,

788
00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:25,400
Speaker 1: but you can't find Look they're up. The game was

789
00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:28,440
Speaker 1: over essentially at halftime last week. They needed to run

790
00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:31,279
Speaker 1: clock and maintain possession. If they could run a lot

791
00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:33,160
Speaker 1: of clock. They weren't gonna lose it. You can say

792
00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:35,839
Speaker 1: that now, No, I said it, then you can. I'm

793
00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:38,040
Speaker 1: sitting there in the press box in the radio boats

794
00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:41,319
Speaker 1: in Minnesota say to Markulso, let's get that clock going, man,

795
00:37:41,400 --> 00:37:45,600
Speaker 1: let's keep it going. Because the Vikings after two series

796
00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:47,959
Speaker 1: for Minnesota second half, it was clear they had nothing.

797
00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:52,520
Speaker 1: They had nothing to offer, right, And I didn't know

798
00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:54,399
Speaker 1: that from where I was in Carolina. I was looking

799
00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:56,120
Speaker 1: at that. I was checking on it every so often.

800
00:37:56,160 --> 00:37:58,360
Speaker 1: I was like, Wow, are they gonna they are not scoring?

801
00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:00,719
Speaker 1: And that was an amazing part about you pitch a

802
00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:03,960
Speaker 1: shout out you're gonna win and almost out. Yeah, they

803
00:38:04,040 --> 00:38:06,160
Speaker 1: almost got a shutout, and just with the last few

804
00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:09,759
Speaker 1: minutes they finally gave up a touchdown when Minnesota was

805
00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:14,960
Speaker 1: fighting against embarrassment and it was. It was a total

806
00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:17,839
Speaker 1: total win by the entire team. Twenty seven points by

807
00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:19,640
Speaker 1: the offense and then pulling their sales in in the

808
00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:23,279
Speaker 1: second half says a lot about where they were that day.

809
00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:26,400
Speaker 1: And we said it from the beginning of this this week.

810
00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:29,560
Speaker 1: At least you know that's somewhere in there in the tank. Yeah,

811
00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:31,480
Speaker 1: where they can go back to it and U and

812
00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:33,120
Speaker 1: look they're looking to do it again this week in

813
00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:36,400
Speaker 1: Green Bay. But I think for the next there's a

814
00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:38,359
Speaker 1: lot of good stuff on this tweet sheet about where

815
00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:39,759
Speaker 1: the next step is and I think a lot of

816
00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:42,759
Speaker 1: people are excited about what they can possibly get out

817
00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:46,279
Speaker 1: of their offense. And from Brett Struthers, he says, we

818
00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:48,719
Speaker 1: absolutely need to connect on some deep balls, which we

819
00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:52,160
Speaker 1: are zero percent on right now thanks to our receiver corps.

820
00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:55,840
Speaker 1: There's no question that it's easy because there's two different

821
00:38:55,880 --> 00:38:59,200
Speaker 1: things going on. I think with their receiving Corpsmurph Calvin

822
00:38:59,239 --> 00:39:01,480
Speaker 1: Benjamin's like, are you I mean we need you to

823
00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:03,279
Speaker 1: pull those balls in? A couple of them were, Yeah,

824
00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:06,680
Speaker 1: they were tough catches. They need him to catch those

825
00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:09,719
Speaker 1: balls that he dropped, particularly the slant going into the

826
00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:12,319
Speaker 1: end zone and on the early going on on the

827
00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:14,520
Speaker 1: route on the back shoulder throw. He couldn't pull that in.

828
00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:17,080
Speaker 1: The drops have got to stop from your number one receiver.

829
00:39:17,120 --> 00:39:18,560
Speaker 1: But then on the other side of that, the other

830
00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:20,800
Speaker 1: thing that's going on with a wide receiver corps. Robert

831
00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:23,400
Speaker 1: Foster's got to develop, Ray Ray McCloud's got to develop,

832
00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:25,080
Speaker 1: and Zay Jones got to come through. He's got to

833
00:39:25,080 --> 00:39:29,000
Speaker 1: step up and play. He had one catch. That's got

834
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:31,279
Speaker 1: to change. The young guys, and they're all young, from

835
00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:35,480
Speaker 1: Zay Jones, Ray, Ray McLeod, all of those guys. It

836
00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:37,880
Speaker 1: has got to change. They've got to step up and develop.

837
00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:39,960
Speaker 1: And that's the next the other thing that's going on

838
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:43,600
Speaker 1: with a wide receivering He's right, Um, the guy on Twitter,

839
00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:46,759
Speaker 1: Brett Strothers is right. Need to connect on some deep balls,

840
00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:50,520
Speaker 1: need to connect in general with wide receivers. Past distribution

841
00:39:50,560 --> 00:39:52,400
Speaker 1: the bills as we sent when we were talking to Brownie,

842
00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:56,920
Speaker 1: forty six percent of Josh Allen's past completions only forty

843
00:39:57,000 --> 00:40:00,440
Speaker 1: six percent, less than half have gone to wide receivers.

844
00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:03,719
Speaker 1: Only fifty percent of his attempts have gone to wide receivers.

845
00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:07,440
Speaker 1: Not enough attempts, I mean, I get it. Last week

846
00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:09,560
Speaker 1: they want to get the short passing game going, and

847
00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:11,600
Speaker 1: they threw to the backs and a lot of underneath

848
00:40:11,640 --> 00:40:14,560
Speaker 1: them through to the tight ends. But definitely not enough

849
00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:17,239
Speaker 1: and not enough completions. I almost put that on the

850
00:40:17,680 --> 00:40:22,719
Speaker 1: receiving cord, the lack of completions. Foster, he and he

851
00:40:22,840 --> 00:40:24,919
Speaker 1: and Josh Allen have had a couple of occasions where

852
00:40:24,920 --> 00:40:26,600
Speaker 1: they try to hook up deep and it just doesn't

853
00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:30,200
Speaker 1: happen right, Foster's got a foot, Foster drops. I thought

854
00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:32,840
Speaker 1: the Josh under threw it and Foster ends up breaking

855
00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:35,200
Speaker 1: it up on the interception and that she should have thrown. So,

856
00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:37,840
Speaker 1: you know, works both ways. A lot of ways to

857
00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:41,359
Speaker 1: go on this team. Any twenty two on the tweet sheet,

858
00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:44,320
Speaker 1: he thinks it's get McCoy run game going. Takes pressure

859
00:40:44,680 --> 00:40:47,120
Speaker 1: off Allen and will open up the pass game. Can't

860
00:40:47,160 --> 00:40:48,799
Speaker 1: rely on Allan at this point, they had to do

861
00:40:48,800 --> 00:40:51,120
Speaker 1: it by himself. Will also slow down the pass rush

862
00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:54,000
Speaker 1: and help with more second third and short verses, long

863
00:40:54,040 --> 00:40:56,400
Speaker 1: and Look, they were unable to get any kind of

864
00:40:56,960 --> 00:40:59,479
Speaker 1: run game going in the first game and a half

865
00:40:59,480 --> 00:41:02,239
Speaker 1: because they fell behind so early last week. They were

866
00:41:02,239 --> 00:41:06,120
Speaker 1: without their primary running weapon, Sean McCoy. If he's healthy,

867
00:41:06,160 --> 00:41:08,279
Speaker 1: if he's ready to go this week, this has to

868
00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:10,239
Speaker 1: be the game where the Bills get the running game

869
00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:12,680
Speaker 1: going right. They have to get a lot of rushing attempts,

870
00:41:12,840 --> 00:41:14,239
Speaker 1: and they have to get a lot of production out

871
00:41:14,239 --> 00:41:15,919
Speaker 1: of the run game. Ivery did a pretty good job

872
00:41:16,480 --> 00:41:18,120
Speaker 1: last week, but I do think that they have to

873
00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:20,480
Speaker 1: get the run game going some of its game plan too.

874
00:41:20,560 --> 00:41:23,319
Speaker 1: I mean Sean McDermot alluded to it in his press

875
00:41:23,320 --> 00:41:25,480
Speaker 1: conference today. Listen, this week, we thought that the run

876
00:41:25,680 --> 00:41:27,359
Speaker 1: the pass game was going to set up the run

877
00:41:27,400 --> 00:41:29,040
Speaker 1: in Minnesota. That's the way we thought it was going

878
00:41:29,080 --> 00:41:31,120
Speaker 1: to go down. So we came out throwing the football.

879
00:41:31,719 --> 00:41:33,719
Speaker 1: So you knew that they were going to have to

880
00:41:33,760 --> 00:41:36,399
Speaker 1: open it up a little bit on with the front

881
00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:38,920
Speaker 1: seven or front eight as it was in Minnesota. And

882
00:41:39,040 --> 00:41:40,880
Speaker 1: until they did that, they weren't going to try and

883
00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:44,240
Speaker 1: run bang their head against the wall against the Minnesota defense.

884
00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:46,360
Speaker 1: But I think another thing is as well, and we

885
00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:48,000
Speaker 1: can talk all we want because it is a small

886
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:49,759
Speaker 1: sample size. We keep going back to it. It's only

887
00:41:49,760 --> 00:41:51,920
Speaker 1: three games and they've been lops Two of them have

888
00:41:51,960 --> 00:41:54,799
Speaker 1: been lopsided one way or the other. When you get

889
00:41:54,840 --> 00:41:57,520
Speaker 1: back to it, this offense that Brian Dable is putting together,

890
00:41:57,600 --> 00:42:00,759
Speaker 1: it's about matchups and the way. I mean, let's face it,

891
00:42:02,440 --> 00:42:05,600
Speaker 1: Josh Allen completed sixty eight percent of his passes this

892
00:42:05,680 --> 00:42:09,399
Speaker 1: last week. That's huge. That is exactly what they need

893
00:42:09,520 --> 00:42:12,080
Speaker 1: him to do. But they did it with the backs

894
00:42:12,160 --> 00:42:13,759
Speaker 1: and the tight ends and a couple of them were

895
00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:15,839
Speaker 1: broken plays, and a couple of big plays were broken plays.

896
00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:18,080
Speaker 1: I don't have a problem with that. But getting him

897
00:42:18,080 --> 00:42:20,800
Speaker 1: to complete balls to the tight ends and the running

898
00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:24,600
Speaker 1: backs this last week is fine and dandy if it

899
00:42:24,719 --> 00:42:29,000
Speaker 1: was the game plan. As it progresses, you want to

900
00:42:29,040 --> 00:42:31,440
Speaker 1: see this team be able to do it in every facet.

901
00:42:31,520 --> 00:42:32,920
Speaker 1: You want to see him go down the field of

902
00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:35,400
Speaker 1: their wide receivers if they need to. And I'm not

903
00:42:35,440 --> 00:42:39,040
Speaker 1: saying I'm not saying that it wasn't their plan to

904
00:42:39,120 --> 00:42:41,680
Speaker 1: do it exactly the way they did it in Minnesota.

905
00:42:41,719 --> 00:42:43,520
Speaker 1: Certainly it worked out the way they wanted it to.

906
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:46,040
Speaker 1: But going in and Sean McDermot said, listen, we're gonna

907
00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:48,360
Speaker 1: throw it in order to run it against Minnesota in

908
00:42:48,480 --> 00:42:51,560
Speaker 1: Green Bay. Given what happened to Adrian Peterson and the

909
00:42:51,560 --> 00:42:55,000
Speaker 1: Washington Redskins last week, Chris Ivory might carry it twenty

910
00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:57,120
Speaker 1: five times in the first half. That may be the

911
00:42:57,160 --> 00:42:59,759
Speaker 1: way it goes. And so I'm not saying we've got

912
00:42:59,760 --> 00:43:01,959
Speaker 1: to have this offense that looks the same every week,

913
00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:05,560
Speaker 1: I guess is my point. You know what, right, And

914
00:43:05,600 --> 00:43:07,600
Speaker 1: it's not supposed to be that way. This thing, and

915
00:43:08,040 --> 00:43:10,160
Speaker 1: we said it a lot in the preseason. How Brian

916
00:43:10,239 --> 00:43:13,080
Speaker 1: Dabole spent all this time two different extended stints in

917
00:43:14,640 --> 00:43:17,680
Speaker 1: the Patriots of organization. And that's the way they do

918
00:43:17,719 --> 00:43:21,000
Speaker 1: it when they're clicking. One game, they beat you by

919
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:22,640
Speaker 1: throwing it to the tight ends and the running backs.

920
00:43:22,680 --> 00:43:26,360
Speaker 1: The next game it's all it's all about the wide receivers,

921
00:43:26,360 --> 00:43:28,880
Speaker 1: and the next game their running backs are going to

922
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:32,320
Speaker 1: carry the football and run it fifty fifty five sixty

923
00:43:32,320 --> 00:43:34,120
Speaker 1: percent of the time. They're not gonna throw the football

924
00:43:34,239 --> 00:43:36,879
Speaker 1: very much, so they do it a number of different ways.

925
00:43:36,880 --> 00:43:38,920
Speaker 1: If this offense is going to look like that, we

926
00:43:38,920 --> 00:43:40,600
Speaker 1: don't know what it's gonna what it's gonna take for

927
00:43:40,640 --> 00:43:43,800
Speaker 1: them to win this week. It may be Kelvin Benjamin

928
00:43:44,040 --> 00:43:47,960
Speaker 1: getting eighteen targets, or it may be Zay Jones getting

929
00:43:47,960 --> 00:43:51,720
Speaker 1: eighteen targets, or it may be you know, Charles Clay.

930
00:43:52,640 --> 00:43:54,359
Speaker 1: But the simple fact of the matter is we don't

931
00:43:54,400 --> 00:43:56,680
Speaker 1: know what it's supposed to look like from week to week. Right,

932

Speaker 1: to you that although you are a fan of cheese

955
00:45:15,560 --> 00:45:18,200
Speaker 1: curds and apparently are halfway through a plate of cheese skirts.

956
00:45:19,239 --> 00:45:20,920
Speaker 1: I'm not a big fan of cheese curds. I do

957
00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:25,600
Speaker 1: like brots, and usually somewhere halftime or something in lambeau

958
00:45:25,640 --> 00:45:28,120
Speaker 1: Field they managed to put out a tray of brots,

959
00:45:28,120 --> 00:45:31,200
Speaker 1: which are fantastic with mustard on them. Yeah, you know. Yeah.

960
00:45:31,200 --> 00:45:34,000
Speaker 1: Do you ever cook broughts? Yeah, soaker and beer put

Speaker 1: them on the grill. I'm all about it. You're right.

962
00:45:36,440 --> 00:45:39,200
Speaker 1: And some of the stuff you go to these places

963
00:45:39,239 --> 00:45:42,560
Speaker 1: and it's like, you know, wings in Buffalo, carb cakes

964
00:45:42,560 --> 00:45:46,719
Speaker 1: in Baltimore, broughts and cheese curds in Wisconsin, with barbecue

Speaker 1: looking forward to the brots, at least one. I'll have one.

967
00:45:53,680 --> 00:45:55,320
Speaker 1: I probably can't get involved in much more than that.

00:45:55,600 --> 00:45:58,200

Speaker 1: we're in the break, you said, I don't like Italian sausage.

973
00:46:09,640 --> 00:46:12,000
Speaker 1: Go to the mild mild you can taste it spice,

974
00:46:12,040 --> 00:46:13,800
Speaker 1: and it gets too hot, then you all your tasting

975
00:46:13,920 --> 00:46:19,239

00:46:19,280 --> 00:46:22,560
Speaker 1: more savory thing of the Polish. I agree, I like

1021
00:48:39,400 --> 00:48:41,080
Speaker 1: you don't have to send that memo out to everybody.

1022
00:48:41,400 --> 00:48:44,600
Speaker 1: He said it to me in a personal memo. I'm good. Wait, also,

1023
00:48:44,719 --> 00:48:47,520
Speaker 1: did you see this? He's getting pressure from somebody in LA.

1024
00:48:48,120 --> 00:48:50,200
Speaker 1: His late father Bumped Phillips. Of course, he used to

1025
00:48:50,280 --> 00:48:52,080
Speaker 1: dress up with a big cowboy hat, in the huge

1026
00:48:52,120 --> 00:48:54,360
Speaker 1: belt and the boots and the jeans. Some of the

1027
00:48:54,440 --> 00:48:56,839
Speaker 1: LA fans want Wade to dress that way Thursday night

1028
00:48:56,840 --> 00:48:59,960
Speaker 1: when he's on National TV. I wouldn't put it back

1029
00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:02,360
Speaker 1: as him, Wade, Mike, could you get could you do

1030
00:49:02,400 --> 00:49:04,239
Speaker 1: that without getting in trouble by the No Fun League.

1031
00:49:04,760 --> 00:49:07,759
Speaker 1: That's on the logo that's on a hat. If you

00:49:07,800 --> 00:49:09,200
Speaker 1: put an if you put it, if you put the

1033
00:49:09,280 --> 00:49:11,680
Speaker 1: right logo on cowboy hat, they won't care. I would

1034
00:49:11,719 --> 00:49:13,720
Speaker 1: love it if Wade did that, even if he uh,

1035
00:49:13,760 --> 00:49:16,279
Speaker 1: even if he took a fine from the league, if

1036
00:49:16,280 --> 00:49:18,520
Speaker 1: he dressed up like bum When Wade was the defensive

1037
00:49:18,520 --> 00:49:20,160
Speaker 1: coordinator here in the last year or two of my

1038
00:49:20,239 --> 00:49:23,640
Speaker 1: career in Buffalo, Bumm came in the locker room a

1039
00:49:23,640 --> 00:49:25,640
Speaker 1: couple of times. Yeah, great, great to meet him. I

1040
00:49:25,640 --> 00:49:28,000
Speaker 1: grew up watching him and those and I played for

1041
00:49:28,040 --> 00:49:31,279
Speaker 1: the Oilers um for a minute, and uh, great to

1042
00:49:31,320 --> 00:49:33,520
Speaker 1: see him. And he Yeah, he always wore the cowboy

1043
00:49:33,560 --> 00:49:35,279
Speaker 1: hat on the sidelines unless they played at home in

1044
00:49:35,320 --> 00:49:38,320
Speaker 1: the Astrodome, and he would always take his hat off indoors.

1045
00:49:38,520 --> 00:49:40,640
Speaker 1: One of the best stories we ever did in my

1046
00:49:41,000 --> 00:49:43,600
Speaker 1: tenure of Channel seven. Wade was the head coach here.

1047
00:49:43,680 --> 00:49:45,640
Speaker 1: I might have been coordinator, but he was coaching here.

1048
00:49:46,120 --> 00:49:49,120
Speaker 1: Bumm came in to see Wesley Phillips, Wade's son play

1049
00:49:49,200 --> 00:49:53,080
Speaker 1: at played high school football in Williamsville, and we Wade

1050
00:49:53,200 --> 00:49:55,920
Speaker 1: was great, obviously, Wade, and yeah, you can, yeah, you

1051
00:49:55,920 --> 00:49:57,520
Speaker 1: can put a mic on me and my dad, that'll

1052
00:49:57,560 --> 00:49:59,120
Speaker 1: be kind of a good story. So we had him

1053
00:49:59,120 --> 00:50:03,520
Speaker 1: miked up watch Wesley play, and the conversation was fantastic

1054
00:50:03,560 --> 00:50:06,480
Speaker 1: between the two of them. Oh, Wade, he can run faster. Yeah,

1055
00:50:06,480 --> 00:50:08,440
Speaker 1: he run faster than me. Daddy, a little faster than me,

1056
00:50:08,520 --> 00:50:10,560
Speaker 1: that's for sure. I mean, it was just amazing. It

1057
00:50:10,600 --> 00:50:13,160
Speaker 1: was an amazing two minute story that we did on

1058
00:50:13,239 --> 00:50:15,360
Speaker 1: Channel seven. Well, yeah, he's pretty good now, daddy, you

1059
00:50:15,400 --> 00:50:17,319
Speaker 1: know you can throw it too in. Wade Phillips now

1060
00:50:17,680 --> 00:50:22,239
Speaker 1: seventy five, maybe seventy six years old something like that,

1061
00:50:22,400 --> 00:50:25,279
Speaker 1: and still coaching and coordinating Lincoln is a really good

1062
00:50:25,360 --> 00:50:28,279
Speaker 1: coordination is still That's why what Sean McDermot doing calling

1063
00:50:28,360 --> 00:50:30,719
Speaker 1: him out. He should send a limo to pick up

1064
00:50:30,680 --> 00:50:34,520
Speaker 1: a way. Sean mcbaay, he should send a limo to

1065
00:50:34,520 --> 00:50:36,200
Speaker 1: Wade's house and make sure he gets there at five.

1066
00:50:36,600 --> 00:50:38,080
Speaker 1: I think he takes it in the right vein. I

Speaker 1: including various topics, including sausage and Italian sausage. But one

1123
00:53:30,080 --> 00:53:34,120
Speaker 1: football opinion, and we'll get to that. But one opinion

1124
00:53:34,200 --> 00:53:37,040
Speaker 1: that you blurted right out was about Milano. You're happy

1125
00:53:37,080 --> 00:53:39,120
Speaker 1: that he's the AFC Defensive Player of the Week, but

1126
00:53:39,160 --> 00:53:41,160
Speaker 1: he's got a teammate who's been playing really good defense,

1127
00:53:41,239 --> 00:53:44,319
Speaker 1: right man, Jerry Hugh's been playing great. Yeah, I mean

1128
00:53:44,760 --> 00:53:47,800
Speaker 1: it could have very easily have been cold AFC Defensive

1129
00:53:47,840 --> 00:53:51,520
Speaker 1: Players of the Week. Really, I mean, Jared sent the tone. Really.

1130
00:53:51,560 --> 00:53:53,640
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, you look at the Baltimore game,

1131
00:53:53,680 --> 00:53:56,000
Speaker 1: you look at the San Diego game, and I was

1132
00:53:56,120 --> 00:53:58,080
Speaker 1: losing both of those games. You don't really see and

1133
00:53:58,239 --> 00:54:00,000
Speaker 1: hear too much about Jerry Hughes, but if you go back,

1134
00:54:00,000 --> 00:54:02,160
Speaker 1: I can look at the film. The guy has been

1135
00:54:02,200 --> 00:54:04,880
Speaker 1: a monster for all three games. And we talked about

1136
00:54:06,000 --> 00:54:09,879
Speaker 1: him being tied with clil mac pressures. Yeah, I mean,

1137
00:54:09,920 --> 00:54:14,319
Speaker 1: that's that's pretty significant. Yeah, he's he's been playing great,

1138
00:54:14,360 --> 00:54:16,520
Speaker 1: and we're talking about this week. They've got a left

1139
00:54:16,520 --> 00:54:19,000
Speaker 1: tackle in back yard that's very good, a really good

1140
00:54:19,080 --> 00:54:21,440
Speaker 1: left tackle. But everybody else is they've been struggling. Their

1141
00:54:21,440 --> 00:54:24,319
Speaker 1: whole right side is in the shambles right now. So

1142
00:54:24,440 --> 00:54:27,560
Speaker 1: it is uh now and now, of course got Trent

1143
00:54:27,760 --> 00:54:30,239
Speaker 1: Murphy who's hurt, so you know now everything you know,

1144
00:54:30,400 --> 00:54:33,799
Speaker 1: it's just never you never get on top, never get

1145
00:54:33,840 --> 00:54:36,600
Speaker 1: on top of it. Yeah, it's just it's always one

1146
00:54:36,680 --> 00:54:39,600
Speaker 1: thing after another. But uh, you know, I know I

1147
00:54:39,239 --> 00:54:41,919
Speaker 1: I watched the game and uh man, they played great,

1148
00:54:42,239 --> 00:54:44,920
Speaker 1: and they played great. One more question about Jerry hust

1149
00:54:45,520 --> 00:54:48,160
Speaker 1: He's thirty years old now, turned thirty back in August.

1150
00:54:48,719 --> 00:54:50,440
Speaker 1: Is he at the peak of his career? Is he

1151
00:54:50,560 --> 00:54:52,520
Speaker 1: just passed the peak? I mean, what do you guys,

1152
00:54:52,520 --> 00:54:54,520
Speaker 1: both of you guys think, when does the player at

1153
00:54:54,560 --> 00:54:57,000
Speaker 1: his peak. Jerry's in his ninth year. I believe at

1154
00:54:57,000 --> 00:54:59,920
Speaker 1: aage thirty, what do you think. I think Jerry got

1155
00:55:00,040 --> 00:55:01,719
Speaker 1: least three or four more years in him. Okay, I

1156
00:55:01,760 --> 00:55:04,120
Speaker 1: really do. I mean, this is a guy who has

1157
00:55:04,120 --> 00:55:07,279
Speaker 1: a motor. You don't find too many of those that

1158
00:55:07,360 --> 00:55:09,880
Speaker 1: has a motor every single play. I mean, he hustles

1159
00:55:09,920 --> 00:55:12,760
Speaker 1: all across the football field at the age of thirty.

1160
00:55:12,800 --> 00:55:15,319
Speaker 1: I mean, and you got to realize too, his first

1161
00:55:15,320 --> 00:55:19,080
Speaker 1: couple of years in Indianapolis wasn't very well. Yeah, it

1162
00:55:19,200 --> 00:55:21,400
Speaker 1: wasn't good. I mean, he didn't really get on the field.

1163
00:55:21,440 --> 00:55:24,800
Speaker 1: So they traded him. Yeah, they traded him. The Shepherd

1164
00:55:24,880 --> 00:55:27,680
Speaker 1: is out of the league. Yeah, so great trade for

1165
00:55:27,760 --> 00:55:30,799
Speaker 1: the Bills. Great trade, great trade, and uh yeah, I'm

1166
00:55:30,840 --> 00:55:33,480
Speaker 1: looking forward to uh Jared. You know, I think he's

1167
00:55:33,520 --> 00:55:35,759
Speaker 1: maybe I might maybe have one more year left on

1168
00:55:35,800 --> 00:55:38,279
Speaker 1: his contract or something like that, but I I hope

1169
00:55:38,280 --> 00:55:40,600
Speaker 1: the bills extend him. I mean, he's he's I mean,

1170
00:55:40,800 --> 00:55:43,319
Speaker 1: he loves it here. Him and his wife, they love

1171
00:55:43,400 --> 00:55:46,320
Speaker 1: it here. Two little kids, uh so uh and plus

1172
00:55:46,320 --> 00:55:48,719
Speaker 1: their sweetest next of mind. So I get to really

1173
00:55:48,719 --> 00:55:50,960
Speaker 1: getting to know really well this year and talk to

1174
00:55:51,000 --> 00:55:53,600
Speaker 1: us about la Shawn got Ribs. If he played with Ribbs.

1175
00:55:53,640 --> 00:55:56,919
Speaker 1: It's hard, It's hard. Yeah. I was surprised he even

1176
00:55:56,960 --> 00:55:59,799
Speaker 1: went out on the football field and attempted to work

1177
00:55:59,800 --> 00:56:01,239
Speaker 1: out out and maybe see if he had a chance

1178
00:56:01,280 --> 00:56:03,560
Speaker 1: to play. Uh, that's just something that you just don't

1179
00:56:03,600 --> 00:56:05,759
Speaker 1: want to play with. Uh, you know, having a real

1180
00:56:05,880 --> 00:56:09,960
Speaker 1: injury like that. Um, I don't know. He could be

1181
00:56:10,000 --> 00:56:11,920
Speaker 1: doubtful this week. I really don't know. I mean that's

1182
00:56:11,960 --> 00:56:13,680
Speaker 1: an injury that you have. You have to rest it.

1183
00:56:13,920 --> 00:56:16,719
Speaker 1: And as much as he cuts and everything, I mean,

1184
00:56:16,760 --> 00:56:20,399
Speaker 1: it's gonna be yeah, your core, your core, Yeah, where

1185
00:56:20,400 --> 00:56:22,600
Speaker 1: it works had So yeah, it's gonna be difficult for

1186
00:56:22,680 --> 00:56:25,120
Speaker 1: him to play. But you know, he's a tough guy.

1187
00:56:25,239 --> 00:56:27,040
Speaker 1: He wants to be out there to win. You know,

1188
00:56:27,120 --> 00:56:30,200
Speaker 1: any player that is his caliber. He wants to be

1189
00:56:30,239 --> 00:56:33,439
Speaker 1: out there and playing in the football game, especially if

1190
00:56:33,440 --> 00:56:36,239
Speaker 1: you're winning. You know, he wants he wants to be

1191
00:56:36,320 --> 00:56:37,880
Speaker 1: out there and be a part of that. Did you

1192
00:56:37,920 --> 00:56:39,680
Speaker 1: see some of the video of him on the sideline

1193
00:56:39,680 --> 00:56:42,600
Speaker 1: Sunday in Minnesota. Yeah, he had the tablet in his hand,

1194
00:56:42,800 --> 00:56:45,240
Speaker 1: so he's going through the plays, you know, through the images,

1195
00:56:45,560 --> 00:56:48,319
Speaker 1: and he's he's a cheerleader too, coaching and cheering at

1196
00:56:48,320 --> 00:56:49,880
Speaker 1: the same time. It's pretty fun to why and then

1197
00:56:49,920 --> 00:56:52,040
Speaker 1: you think about it. You look at it when when

1198
00:56:52,040 --> 00:56:54,040
Speaker 1: he was around Johns Shallow, he did so they got

1199
00:56:54,080 --> 00:56:57,280
Speaker 1: some blar handshake going. Now. I mean, he he's involved

1200
00:56:57,280 --> 00:56:59,000
Speaker 1: with it, you know. But that's the way you're supposed

1201
00:56:59,000 --> 00:57:01,640
Speaker 1: to be, especially having a young quarterback like Josh Allen.

1202
00:57:01,880 --> 00:57:04,759
Speaker 1: You talk a little bit about him being out he's

1203
00:57:04,840 --> 00:57:07,759
Speaker 1: that's his hallmark. He's been available. Yeah when he's you

1204
00:57:07,760 --> 00:57:09,640
Speaker 1: know what I mean. So it's got to be killing

1205
00:57:09,680 --> 00:57:12,560
Speaker 1: him not to be out there, right, It has, I mean,

1206
00:57:12,560 --> 00:57:15,200
Speaker 1: because that's it becomes your thing and you take it

1207
00:57:15,239 --> 00:57:19,080
Speaker 1: for granted until you can't go. And I think that's

1208
00:57:19,120 --> 00:57:20,880
Speaker 1: probably got to be eating away at him not to

1209
00:57:20,920 --> 00:57:22,520
Speaker 1: be able to help out at least be out there.

1210
00:57:22,880 --> 00:57:24,840
Speaker 1: You know, it is becauld. You thrive on the work,

1211
00:57:24,880 --> 00:57:26,480
Speaker 1: and you thrive on being the middle of it. You

1212
00:57:26,520 --> 00:57:28,400
Speaker 1: thrive on the ball in your hands. You thrive on

1213
00:57:28,440 --> 00:57:30,520
Speaker 1: that's what you kind of that's what keeps you going

1214
00:57:30,520 --> 00:57:33,280
Speaker 1: in the off season. And you get halfway get into

1215
00:57:33,320 --> 00:57:35,520
Speaker 1: the seat and it's like, well, I mean gone, you

1216
00:57:35,560 --> 00:57:38,320
Speaker 1: know for another year probably what's this year? His third

1217
00:57:38,400 --> 00:57:42,320
Speaker 1: or fourth year here? Fourth year here? And he's been

1218
00:57:42,360 --> 00:57:45,360
Speaker 1: the focal point every single year that he've been there,

1219
00:57:45,440 --> 00:57:48,640
Speaker 1: and coming into a new offense, yeah, he wanted to

1220
00:57:48,640 --> 00:57:51,160
Speaker 1: be out there. Yeah, yeah, you gotta It has to

1221
00:57:51,200 --> 00:57:52,920
Speaker 1: be eating at him right now. But you know what,

1222
00:57:53,080 --> 00:57:55,080
Speaker 1: I don't want him to be going out there knowing

1223
00:57:55,160 --> 00:57:58,000
Speaker 1: that he's not one hundred percent and then maybe extend

1224
00:57:58,040 --> 00:58:02,120
Speaker 1: the injury. You know. So so you mentioned its last

1225
00:58:02,120 --> 00:58:04,640
Speaker 1: week you had a similar rib injury. When you come

1226
00:58:04,680 --> 00:58:07,960
Speaker 1: back from that, what are you looking for? Um? I mean,

1227
00:58:08,000 --> 00:58:09,600
Speaker 1: you know, if you get hit in the ribs again,

1228
00:58:09,600 --> 00:58:11,680
Speaker 1: it's gonna hurt, right when you have that during you

1229
00:58:11,760 --> 00:58:13,680
Speaker 1: they wear the flat jackets. But so what are you

1230
00:58:13,680 --> 00:58:15,880
Speaker 1: looking forward during the practice week to let you know that?

1231
00:58:16,080 --> 00:58:18,880
Speaker 1: All right, let me give the shot. First of all,

1232
00:58:18,960 --> 00:58:21,400
Speaker 1: let somebody take a shot at him. Really, yeah, I mean,

1233
00:58:21,560 --> 00:58:23,800
Speaker 1: ain't nobody gonna take a shot. Ain't nobody gonna take

1234
00:58:23,800 --> 00:58:26,000
Speaker 1: a shot. But still, I mean, I can't remember when

1235
00:58:26,040 --> 00:58:29,520
Speaker 1: I had the my lace rated liver and uh yeah,

1236
00:58:29,560 --> 00:58:32,520
Speaker 1: I mean that was serious. When I came back, you know,

1237
00:58:32,600 --> 00:58:35,680
Speaker 1: I was, I was in practices, I was kind of

1238
00:58:35,760 --> 00:58:38,040
Speaker 1: running into people. Yeah, you know, even though it was

1239
00:58:38,080 --> 00:58:40,480
Speaker 1: like inside and budding, I'm saying it was hell. I

1240
00:58:40,520 --> 00:58:43,600
Speaker 1: was just trying to run into somebody just to see

1241
00:58:43,600 --> 00:58:47,160
Speaker 1: if I feel anybody like, what are you doing right

1242
00:58:47,240 --> 00:58:54,040
Speaker 1: exactly Wednesday? Yeah, right, yeah, I'm trying to hit somebody.

1243
00:58:54,240 --> 00:58:57,480
Speaker 1: Remember now, I'm trying to piece together the details in

1244
00:58:57,520 --> 00:59:00,400
Speaker 1: my head. But when when Travis Henry was here, and

1245
00:59:00,440 --> 00:59:02,960
Speaker 1: I believe the coach was Greg Williams, who was a

1246
00:59:03,000 --> 00:59:06,280
Speaker 1: little bit out there, Travis had a rib situation went

1247
00:59:06,400 --> 00:59:08,120
Speaker 1: right down to the end of the week, Sunday morning,

1248
00:59:08,200 --> 00:59:11,600
Speaker 1: game day morning, right here at home. Greg Williams, I

1249
00:59:11,640 --> 00:59:13,720
Speaker 1: believe I got this right, put Travis in the room

1250
00:59:13,760 --> 00:59:15,080
Speaker 1: over there by the locker room with one of the

1251
00:59:15,120 --> 00:59:16,880
Speaker 1: linebackers and said, go ahead and hit him and let's

1252
00:59:16,880 --> 00:59:19,400
Speaker 1: see if he can withstand this, and the linebackers like, no,

1253
00:59:19,440 --> 00:59:20,960
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna do that, and he goes no, go ahead,

1254
00:59:21,160 --> 00:59:23,080
Speaker 1: and Travis was up for it, and they did it

1255
00:59:23,120 --> 00:59:24,600
Speaker 1: a couple of times. They said, yeah, okay, he can

1256
00:59:24,640 --> 00:59:26,440
Speaker 1: handle it. Go ahead Travis, right. I mean, is that

1257
00:59:26,480 --> 00:59:29,360
Speaker 1: what you have to do? It sounds crazy, It sounds crazy,

1258
00:59:29,400 --> 00:59:30,720
Speaker 1: but I guess you could have to do something like

1259
00:59:30,800 --> 00:59:34,120
Speaker 1: that just to see if you're preparing for Yeah, not

1260
00:59:34,160 --> 00:59:38,680
Speaker 1: only sound it is crazy. That's crazy. It happened. That's crazy.

1261
00:59:38,760 --> 00:59:41,480
Speaker 1: That's that's we're all nuts doing. And we'd all do

1262
00:59:41,520 --> 00:59:45,240
Speaker 1: it though. But here's the thing you, Lois Shawan, he

1263
00:59:45,280 --> 00:59:47,280
Speaker 1: has been the focal point. He look, he's twenty ninth

1264
00:59:47,280 --> 00:59:49,560
Speaker 1: in NFL history with ten thousand, one hundred and fifty three.

1265
00:59:49,560 --> 00:59:52,320
Speaker 1: He's one hundred and twenty yards behind Otis Anderson for

1266
00:59:52,360 --> 00:59:55,920
Speaker 1: twenty eighth spot. And he's eight points one touchdown, you know,

1267
00:59:55,920 --> 00:59:59,520
Speaker 1: two touchdowns, and he's got five hundred career points in

1268
00:59:59,560 --> 01:00:03,440
Speaker 1: his in his ten year career. One another one hundred

1269
01:00:03,480 --> 01:00:06,720
Speaker 1: yard rushing performance, he's got fourteen. He'll tie Freddy Jackson

1270
01:00:06,720 --> 01:00:09,840
Speaker 1: for the most in this team's history with fifteen. So

1271
01:00:10,200 --> 01:00:12,200
Speaker 1: with the eight short period of time, right, and with

1272
01:00:12,280 --> 01:00:16,240
Speaker 1: eight yards he moves past Ray Carlton for sixth old

1273
01:00:16,280 --> 01:00:18,720
Speaker 1: time in the history of this franchise, four years. It's

1274
01:00:18,760 --> 01:00:22,200
Speaker 1: four years. He's yeah the guy. They need him. They

1275
01:00:22,280 --> 01:00:25,120
Speaker 1: need him, obviously, they do need him. And really, you know,

1276
01:00:25,600 --> 01:00:27,640
Speaker 1: looking at what they did last week in Minnesota, I mean,

1277
01:00:28,440 --> 01:00:30,240
Speaker 1: I mean, how many catches did Chris Ivory hair? I

1278
01:00:30,240 --> 01:00:32,360
Speaker 1: mean a lot of the back I mean receptions did

1279
01:00:32,400 --> 01:00:35,000
Speaker 1: the running backs have? What do you think of Chris

1280
01:00:35,000 --> 01:00:37,040
Speaker 1: Ivory's a body of work class side. I thought it

1281
01:00:37,080 --> 01:00:38,720
Speaker 1: was great. I mean, that's kind of what they brought

1282
01:00:38,800 --> 01:00:41,560
Speaker 1: him here for, you know, to run behind Lesha McCall

1283
01:00:41,640 --> 01:00:43,880
Speaker 1: or something happened to him. So I mean, if Leshawan

1284
01:00:44,000 --> 01:00:47,160
Speaker 1: can't go, I see another dosage of Chris Iver you know.

1285
01:00:47,160 --> 01:00:48,720
Speaker 1: And I think too the thing that I got this

1286
01:00:48,840 --> 01:00:51,160
Speaker 1: in the play that people on HIMS year watching Josh

1287
01:00:51,280 --> 01:00:52,960
Speaker 1: rolls out. It's the fifty five yard that was a

1288
01:00:53,000 --> 01:00:55,120
Speaker 1: short pass and turned in. I don't know if every

1289
01:00:55,200 --> 01:00:58,720
Speaker 1: running back is as veteran as that to stay alive

1290
01:00:58,760 --> 01:01:00,840
Speaker 1: and kind of you know, I don't know if everybody

1291
01:01:00,920 --> 01:01:02,840
Speaker 1: makes that play. It looked easy because you know, he

1292
01:01:02,920 --> 01:01:04,600
Speaker 1: faked the hand off. He kind of comes through and

1293
01:01:04,680 --> 01:01:08,360
Speaker 1: kind of follows Josh out. It looks easy, no question

1294
01:01:08,360 --> 01:01:11,080
Speaker 1: about it. Man oh man, A veteran, you know, makes

1295
01:01:11,080 --> 01:01:13,800
Speaker 1: that play absolutely and that's why he's here. And everybody says, well,

1296
01:01:13,800 --> 01:01:15,640
Speaker 1: he's thirty years old. I don't know if that's the

1297
01:01:15,760 --> 01:01:18,840
Speaker 1: kind of heads up stuff that veterans give you. And

1298
01:01:18,880 --> 01:01:21,040
Speaker 1: I'm not saying nobody else would have made that play,

1299
01:01:21,040 --> 01:01:22,920
Speaker 1: but man oh man, you know, a veteran's going to

1300
01:01:23,120 --> 01:01:25,920
Speaker 1: find an open spot is exactly what he did. The

1301
01:01:25,960 --> 01:01:29,560
Speaker 1: protection part was probably to the left side anyway, trash

1302
01:01:29,600 --> 01:01:31,840
Speaker 1: Adam Scrambler to the right side, and uh yeah, he

1303
01:01:32,000 --> 01:01:35,560
Speaker 1: just know that his blocking responsibilities were gone. So hey,

1304
01:01:35,600 --> 01:01:37,040
Speaker 1: let me just go out here and just be kind

1305
01:01:37,080 --> 01:01:38,880
Speaker 1: of a hey sit out here in the flat. You know.

1306
01:01:38,880 --> 01:01:40,320
Speaker 1: That's what Jim and I used to do that all

1307
01:01:40,320 --> 01:01:42,360
Speaker 1: the time. Yeah, you just do it all the time. Well,

1308
01:01:42,360 --> 01:01:45,440
Speaker 1: it's being you know, it's like you know, coach Nick Nicholas,

1309
01:01:45,480 --> 01:01:47,680
Speaker 1: and just be a football you know football, Just be

1310
01:01:47,680 --> 01:01:49,280
Speaker 1: a football. You know what that means. It means be

1311
01:01:49,280 --> 01:01:52,360
Speaker 1: a football player, be a football player. Just be a football,

1312
01:01:52,440 --> 01:01:54,680
Speaker 1: you know, and that's you know, you just gotta know

1313
01:01:54,720 --> 01:01:57,240
Speaker 1: what you're doing out there and feel confident enough that

1314
01:01:58,000 --> 01:02:00,600
Speaker 1: you're not missing anything or you know, guy is overthink

1315
01:02:00,640 --> 01:02:03,040
Speaker 1: it and when he when the quarter and I said

1316
01:02:03,040 --> 01:02:07,400
Speaker 1: this before, the scramble drill is a thing. It's a

1317
01:02:07,480 --> 01:02:11,280
Speaker 1: real thing, and and the game is really complicated, therman,

1318
01:02:11,320 --> 01:02:13,160
Speaker 1: you know this. You got protections, You got guys you're

1319
01:02:13,160 --> 01:02:15,240
Speaker 1: stepping to. You got techniques that you're thinking about in

1320
01:02:15,240 --> 01:02:18,200
Speaker 1: pass protection and route running, in handoffs and ball handling,

1321
01:02:18,440 --> 01:02:21,000
Speaker 1: in offensive line play. You got all this technique, all

1322
01:02:21,040 --> 01:02:23,720
Speaker 1: the verbiage that is you know why right z post

1323
01:02:23,760 --> 01:02:27,680
Speaker 1: at all this language when the quarterback breaks contain you're

1324
01:02:27,720 --> 01:02:30,680
Speaker 1: all eight years old and in the front yard, it

1325
01:02:30,720 --> 01:02:33,080
Speaker 1: all gets thrown right in the garbage and it's just like, okay,

1326
01:02:33,160 --> 01:02:35,840
Speaker 1: you go go that way. You're waving at people and stuff,

1327
01:02:35,880 --> 01:02:38,479
Speaker 1: and it's real well, you know, and when we play,

1328
01:02:38,800 --> 01:02:40,560
Speaker 1: you know when we ran, we ran actually ran a

1329
01:02:40,560 --> 01:02:45,040
Speaker 1: scramble drilling practice. You know, so you wouldn't have one

1330
01:02:45,360 --> 01:02:48,440
Speaker 1: two guys running the goal route. You know you've had guys.

1331
01:02:48,480 --> 01:02:51,040
Speaker 1: You know, one guy won't up, Somebody coming to side,

1332
01:02:51,080 --> 01:02:53,400
Speaker 1: somebody come closer to gym. If itbody just get into

1333
01:02:53,440 --> 01:02:55,640
Speaker 1: an air and just standing. If this happens you do

1334
01:02:55,680 --> 01:02:57,680
Speaker 1: this right, and they do that, and if the other

1335
01:02:57,680 --> 01:02:59,640
Speaker 1: thing happens, they do this and you do that right.

1336
01:03:01,000 --> 01:03:03,160
Speaker 1: Burman Thomas Hall of Famer in studio with us Sermon.

1337
01:03:03,240 --> 01:03:05,720
Speaker 1: Want to get you involved in our Twitter poll today,

1338
01:03:06,160 --> 01:03:08,320
Speaker 1: and it's about the Buffalo offense. You've seen the bills.

1339
01:03:08,480 --> 01:03:11,000
Speaker 1: What's the next step for the Buffalo offense? What do

1340
01:03:11,040 --> 01:03:13,200
Speaker 1: they need to do next? It's a pretty close vote

1341
01:03:13,240 --> 01:03:17,040
Speaker 1: on Twitter. Thirty six percent of responding and say sustained

1342
01:03:17,040 --> 01:03:19,439
Speaker 1: offensive drives. You know they have too many three and outs.

1343
01:03:19,720 --> 01:03:21,840
Speaker 1: Thirty six percent say get the running game going, to

1344
01:03:21,920 --> 01:03:24,760
Speaker 1: get mccoin and running game going. Twenty six percent say

1345
01:03:24,760 --> 01:03:27,560
Speaker 1: get the wide receivers involved. They haven't really used wide

1346
01:03:27,560 --> 01:03:30,040
Speaker 1: receivers much at all. Two percent have something else. In

1347
01:03:30,160 --> 01:03:34,919
Speaker 1: my compliment Murph on how good this Twitter poll? Because

1348
01:03:34,960 --> 01:03:39,880
Speaker 1: it's close, we like to encourage debate a debate. Well,

1349
01:03:39,920 --> 01:03:43,400
Speaker 1: I'll tell how good it is. It's great. Thanks, awesome, Thanks,

1350
01:03:43,640 --> 01:03:45,360
Speaker 1: that's all we wanted. That's the only reason I asked. Yet,

1351
01:03:45,440 --> 01:03:48,280
Speaker 1: glad you came up with that last night. Thanks this morning,

1352
01:03:48,720 --> 01:03:52,280
Speaker 1: I will look at sustained drives going into this game,

1353
01:03:52,800 --> 01:03:55,560
Speaker 1: keeping no much twelve on sideline, Yeah, I think that

1354
01:03:55,600 --> 01:03:58,480
Speaker 1: would be. But when you talk about that, I think

1355
01:03:58,480 --> 01:04:02,480
Speaker 1: you do in le Sean mccauy. If he's playing right,

1356
01:04:02,600 --> 01:04:04,080
Speaker 1: that's the only way that you're going to keep Man

1357
01:04:04,240 --> 01:04:07,160
Speaker 1: Rogers on the sideline. So I did, Yeah, you can't

1358
01:04:07,200 --> 01:04:09,560
Speaker 1: have any three and ounce like they did a couple

1359
01:04:09,720 --> 01:04:14,080
Speaker 1: second half league and three and ouns. But yeah, if

1360
01:04:14,080 --> 01:04:15,800
Speaker 1: you want to, you know, if you want to get

1361
01:04:15,840 --> 01:04:19,960
Speaker 1: the two and two, you have long, sustain drives, no turnovers.

1362
01:04:20,560 --> 01:04:23,040
Speaker 1: Hope the defense gets some turnovers, and hope you have

1363
01:04:23,080 --> 01:04:25,000
Speaker 1: with Sean mccauy, got a caller on the line who

1364
01:04:25,080 --> 01:04:26,920
Speaker 1: believes the same thing I think, Greg, go ahead, you're

1365
01:04:26,960 --> 01:04:28,840
Speaker 1: on the air with Thurman and Steve and I go ahead.

1366
01:04:30,840 --> 01:04:36,240
Speaker 1: All right, good afternoon, gentlemen. Hi, great show, Thank you.

1367
01:04:36,400 --> 01:04:41,800
Speaker 1: I'm time with LISTENERN but first time callers. So the cliche,

1368
01:04:43,600 --> 01:04:46,280
Speaker 1: I think the first thing they gotta do is sustain

1369
01:04:46,600 --> 01:04:50,480
Speaker 1: offensive drives and that I guess that kind of covers

1370
01:04:50,520 --> 01:04:55,720
Speaker 1: the running game. It calls everybody getting involved because you

1371
01:04:55,760 --> 01:04:59,880
Speaker 1: don't want that sniper getting on the field and start

1372
01:05:00,000 --> 01:05:05,120
Speaker 1: and getting good. Look at that at the opposing defense

1373
01:05:05,400 --> 01:05:10,160
Speaker 1: talking about Aaron Rodgers. Well, yeah, yeah, sniper, I don't

1374
01:05:10,160 --> 01:05:15,040
Speaker 1: care if he's wounded or not. Yeah, yeah, yeah, he's

1375
01:05:15,120 --> 01:05:17,920
Speaker 1: you're right, Greg, that's you're right, Gregg. And thanks for

1376
01:05:17,960 --> 01:05:21,160
Speaker 1: the call and and all this stuff. On the offense,

1377
01:05:21,200 --> 01:05:24,920
Speaker 1: whenever it's something goes well, whether it's the sustaining the

1378
01:05:24,920 --> 01:05:27,640
Speaker 1: offensive drives or getting the wide receivers involved and getting

1379
01:05:27,680 --> 01:05:29,800
Speaker 1: McCoy the run game going, it's all hand in hand

1380
01:05:29,800 --> 01:05:32,120
Speaker 1: because it's on the same side of the football. Anything

1381
01:05:32,280 --> 01:05:34,160
Speaker 1: Lecron McCoy can give you is going to be a

1382
01:05:34,200 --> 01:05:37,200
Speaker 1: bonus to the wide receivers and two keeping them on

1383
01:05:37,240 --> 01:05:39,200
Speaker 1: the field. So it is all a little bit hand

1384
01:05:39,240 --> 01:05:44,040
Speaker 1: in hand. But nevertheless, in this game and Therm, you're right,

1385
01:05:44,080 --> 01:05:47,480
Speaker 1: I didn't really put it in those terms. Keeping twelve

1386
01:05:47,520 --> 01:05:51,440
Speaker 1: off the field is enormous and it's something that is

1387
01:05:51,480 --> 01:05:54,320
Speaker 1: going to go a long way towards towards winning the game,

1388
01:05:54,360 --> 01:05:56,200
Speaker 1: whether you score points on the drive or not. And

1389
01:05:56,320 --> 01:05:59,080
Speaker 1: changing field position, keeping him on the sidelines and limiting

1390
01:05:59,160 --> 01:06:01,440
Speaker 1: his opportunities, well, I'll tell you what, I'll take the

1391
01:06:01,480 --> 01:06:03,520
Speaker 1: defense coming up and playing fast like they did last

1392
01:06:03,520 --> 01:06:07,080
Speaker 1: week against Minnesota. That can help right away. That right

1393
01:06:07,120 --> 01:06:09,320
Speaker 1: there was set the tone and uh and I expect

1394
01:06:09,360 --> 01:06:13,320
Speaker 1: that because he can't move around Aaron Rodgers. Well, he

1395
01:06:13,320 --> 01:06:15,680
Speaker 1: couldn't move around too much last week. Right, he's gonna,

1396
01:06:15,680 --> 01:06:19,160
Speaker 1: He's probably gonna. And now you're seeing now what we've

1397
01:06:19,200 --> 01:06:23,040
Speaker 1: seen a little course of last year and really this

1398
01:06:23,160 --> 01:06:26,520
Speaker 1: past game, David's white can be left out there on

1399
01:06:26,560 --> 01:06:29,000
Speaker 1: the corner by himself. Now I think, oh yeah, yeah,

1400
01:06:29,000 --> 01:06:30,480
Speaker 1: I think you know what I'm saying. And they got

1401
01:06:30,480 --> 01:06:32,360
Speaker 1: to match it up. Now he's not left and right now,

1402
01:06:32,400 --> 01:06:34,520
Speaker 1: he's not left the right, So I mean he could

1403
01:06:34,560 --> 01:06:36,960
Speaker 1: be following around the carbon around all day long. Yeah.

1404
01:06:37,360 --> 01:06:40,360
Speaker 1: So you have a guy there now who was playing

1405
01:06:41,160 --> 01:06:43,400
Speaker 1: really good football, and I see why he was upset

1406
01:06:43,440 --> 01:06:45,440
Speaker 1: that he didn't make the Pro Bowl last year, because

1407
01:06:45,440 --> 01:06:48,200
Speaker 1: he's picked up right where he was last year. You

1408
01:06:48,200 --> 01:06:50,440
Speaker 1: said something a minute goo thirming about and I think

1409
01:06:50,440 --> 01:06:52,320
Speaker 1: your language is if you want to get to tune two.

1410
01:06:52,600 --> 01:06:55,720
Speaker 1: And I thought a week ago we would have laughed

1411
01:06:55,720 --> 01:06:57,560
Speaker 1: in your face to think that the Bills could even

1412
01:06:57,600 --> 01:06:59,640
Speaker 1: think about being tun and two. But it's real. They

1413
01:06:59,640 --> 01:07:01,600
Speaker 1: can think about being two and two now after last

1414
01:07:01,600 --> 01:07:04,680
Speaker 1: week and the opportunity that presents itself this week. Absolutely,

1415
01:07:04,680 --> 01:07:07,560
Speaker 1: I mean after the first two games. I mean the

1416
01:07:07,600 --> 01:07:10,280
Speaker 1: first game Okay, it was over with. But coming back

1417
01:07:10,320 --> 01:07:13,920
Speaker 1: home the opener, I thinking that week, I even guaranteed

1418
01:07:13,920 --> 01:07:18,160
Speaker 1: that they were going to Yes, I forgot to come back,

1419
01:07:18,200 --> 01:07:21,520
Speaker 1: you know, and and that game really, you know, and

1420
01:07:21,960 --> 01:07:24,400
Speaker 1: at least the first half, yes, and then come back.

1421
01:07:24,440 --> 01:07:27,520
Speaker 1: And I mean so they could be I mean they

1422
01:07:27,560 --> 01:07:33,120
Speaker 1: could be the only way too. What I like where

1423
01:07:33,120 --> 01:07:34,720
Speaker 1: they're at right now. Yeah, I like where they're going.

1424
01:07:34,840 --> 01:07:37,360
Speaker 1: Like where they're at, like where they're going. And this

1425
01:07:37,400 --> 01:07:40,400
Speaker 1: game is another game in which you have another Super

1426
01:07:40,440 --> 01:07:44,320
Speaker 1: Bowl contender. Sure on the road, on the road in Lambo.

1427
01:07:44,800 --> 01:07:48,160
Speaker 1: You know, don't be looking up at Kurl Lambo is

1428
01:07:48,160 --> 01:07:52,280
Speaker 1: you know that place? Is that it's not that safe,

1429
01:07:52,640 --> 01:07:58,800
Speaker 1: it's not that special special? Why probably I'm better. I'm

1430
01:07:58,800 --> 01:08:01,840
Speaker 1: just like, okay, let's just say him. Whatever, what's special

1431
01:08:01,840 --> 01:08:07,360
Speaker 1: about it? What's the history vis Lombardi and all those guys. Man,

1432
01:08:07,440 --> 01:08:11,800
Speaker 1: Just when you walk in there, you're like, wow, yeah,

01:08:11,920 --> 01:08:15,880
Speaker 1: this is incredible, this is yeah, you're happy to be Okay,

1434
01:08:15,880 --> 01:08:18,120
Speaker 1: all right, that's enough about the pack. Let's talking about

1435
01:08:19,240 --> 01:08:21,200
Speaker 1: you didn't get to play. You got kicked off your

1436
01:08:21,240 --> 01:08:23,800
Speaker 1: last game. We already been through that before we get

1437
01:08:23,800 --> 01:08:26,040
Speaker 1: to golf. All right, I'm gonna ask you about Tiger Woods.

1438
01:08:26,240 --> 01:08:27,519
Speaker 1: We think it's gonna do. I want to know about

1439
01:08:27,520 --> 01:08:30,040
Speaker 1: your buddy, Drew Brees, who just passed Brett Farve last

1440
01:08:30,080 --> 01:08:34,280
Speaker 1: week for most career completions in NFL history. He's a

1441
01:08:34,280 --> 01:08:39,640
Speaker 1: good buddy of yours, right Texas Uh, Texas born, Yeah,

1442
01:08:39,680 --> 01:08:42,920
Speaker 1: Austin Westlake. Actually I met Drew when I was going

1443
01:08:43,000 --> 01:08:47,080
Speaker 1: into the Texas High School Football Hall of Fame and um,

1444
01:08:47,600 --> 01:08:50,439
Speaker 1: and that I mean that was that was twenty five

1445
01:08:50,560 --> 01:08:53,080
Speaker 1: something years ago. And he came up to me and like,

1446
01:08:53,760 --> 01:08:56,880
Speaker 1: I always look watching you play, even even at Willow Ridge.

1447
01:08:56,880 --> 01:08:59,479
Speaker 1: I'm like, wow, yeh, go way back to the end,

1448
01:09:00,000 --> 01:09:03,040
Speaker 1: you know. And so we've we've always kept a good relationship.

1449
01:09:03,120 --> 01:09:06,920
Speaker 1: And text him two days ago congratulate him on his

1450
01:09:07,640 --> 01:09:10,800
Speaker 1: all time completion record in the National Football League. And

1451
01:09:11,080 --> 01:09:12,880
Speaker 1: obviously he was real busy because I just got the

1452
01:09:12,920 --> 01:09:16,800
Speaker 1: text back today from him. So well, he played a

1453
01:09:16,800 --> 01:09:19,080
Speaker 1: game against Atlanta where they went to overtime and he

1454
01:09:19,120 --> 01:09:22,000
Speaker 1: was in large measure the reason they won. Yeah, And

1455
01:09:22,280 --> 01:09:26,000
Speaker 1: and really, I mean within the next game or two,

1456
01:09:26,040 --> 01:09:29,240
Speaker 1: he'll be the all time in passing yards. There's more records.

1457
01:09:29,400 --> 01:09:31,679
Speaker 1: There's more records. Because here's a guy who he's passing,

1458
01:09:31,720 --> 01:09:34,880
Speaker 1: Brett Farven, Peyton Manning in these numbers. He never he

1459
01:09:35,080 --> 01:09:38,680
Speaker 1: is so under the radar being as good as he is. Yeah,

1460
01:09:38,720 --> 01:09:40,400
Speaker 1: I think it's because you know, they don't they get

1461
01:09:40,439 --> 01:09:42,680
Speaker 1: to the playoffs. Maybe they don't go too far. They

1462
01:09:42,680 --> 01:09:46,400
Speaker 1: made one Super Bowl, they did win the championship, no question,

1463
01:09:46,439 --> 01:09:48,880
Speaker 1: But I don't know how he has stayed under the

1464
01:09:48,960 --> 01:09:52,640
Speaker 1: radar as far as he has. Yeah, and you, I mean,

1465
01:09:52,640 --> 01:09:55,839
Speaker 1: if you really think about since he's been in New Honors,

1466
01:09:56,840 --> 01:10:02,160
Speaker 1: made me five receivers, made three receivers that that really

1467
01:10:02,560 --> 01:10:07,960
Speaker 1: that really stood out. I can't Jake, Jimmy Graham, d Yeah,

1468
01:10:08,040 --> 01:10:10,640
Speaker 1: but he ain't a receiver. They've got some guy on

1469
01:10:10,680 --> 01:10:16,200
Speaker 1: a Colston. Was he there? I think I don't even know,

1470
01:10:16,600 --> 01:10:20,400
Speaker 1: Yeah he was. You got Michael. At one point there

1471
01:10:20,400 --> 01:10:23,559
Speaker 1: were like seven seasons in the NFL where a quarterback

1472
01:10:23,600 --> 01:10:25,519
Speaker 1: had thrown him for five thousand yards. He had five

1473
01:10:25,520 --> 01:10:29,439
Speaker 1: of them. Yeah, five of them. Yeah, that includes Marino

1474
01:10:29,640 --> 01:10:32,320
Speaker 1: and includes whoever else it was. And the thing about

1475
01:10:32,360 --> 01:10:34,840
Speaker 1: it now with Drew, he doesn't really throw the deep

1476
01:10:34,840 --> 01:10:37,200
Speaker 1: ball anymore. I think the armor has gotten to a

1477
01:10:37,200 --> 01:10:41,160
Speaker 1: point where he can't really chuck it downfield. But now

1478
01:10:41,200 --> 01:10:44,439
Speaker 1: everything is like twenty yards and then anywhere between twenty

1479
01:10:44,479 --> 01:10:48,439
Speaker 1: and fifteen yards. He's point blank on him all the time. Now, Terman,

1480
01:10:48,479 --> 01:10:50,240
Speaker 1: you walked in here with the Tiger Woods camp. You

1481
01:10:50,240 --> 01:10:53,240
Speaker 1: can put it on if you want. Well, you whether

1482
01:10:53,240 --> 01:10:55,519
Speaker 1: they can want you to ask you about the Ryder Cup.

1483
01:10:55,560 --> 01:10:59,280
Speaker 1: The show is sponsored yet it is. By the way,

1484
01:10:59,280 --> 01:11:01,080
Speaker 1: I got a text from we were talking about Wade

1485
01:11:01,120 --> 01:11:03,599
Speaker 1: Phillips my Cowboy had they can wear the cowboy hat

1486
01:11:03,600 --> 01:11:05,840
Speaker 1: if its new era made it is that right? Yeah, yeah,

1487
01:11:05,960 --> 01:11:10,040
Speaker 1: that's the thing. It had to be the right logogo

1488
01:11:12,000 --> 01:11:14,400
Speaker 1: I'm making cowboy heads. I was thinking about it's gonna

1489
01:11:14,400 --> 01:11:15,800
Speaker 1: be a problem because he wears a head he'd have

1490
01:11:15,880 --> 01:11:18,120
Speaker 1: to get a Cowboy head custom Mads, we wear a headset. Well,

1491
01:11:18,120 --> 01:11:20,080
Speaker 1: that was an issue for some people when he was

1492
01:11:20,120 --> 01:11:23,599
Speaker 1: a coach. Are why doesn't he wear a headset? Coordinator,

1493
01:11:23,600 --> 01:11:26,439
Speaker 1: you're not wearing a headset? What are you up for

1494

Speaker 1: the Ryder Cup? What are you up for the Ryder Cup? YEA, yeah, yeah,

1500
01:11:48,200 --> 01:11:50,040
Speaker 1: I told Steve this. I got on the plane coming

1501
01:11:50,080 --> 01:11:52,400
Speaker 1: home and everybody in the plane was talking about Tiger Woods.

1502
01:11:52,800 --> 01:11:55,760
Speaker 1: Nobody saw it, but there was no Tiger one. It

1503
01:11:55,800 --> 01:11:57,840
Speaker 1: was incredible. And I'll tell you what. The US US

1504
01:11:57,920 --> 01:12:02,240
Speaker 1: got some dynamite uniform this year too. I haven't even

1505
01:12:02,240 --> 01:12:04,759
Speaker 1: seen a hero uniform. I know the US is great,

1506
01:12:05,040 --> 01:12:09,160
Speaker 1: are they? Yeah? I see, I'm a big uniform. I likes.

Speaker 1: from US now, nobody, nobody. We're costing him. Friends. You

1512
01:12:26,840 --> 01:12:32,320
Speaker 1: got to go back in Buffalo and talk. That is

1513
01:12:32,360 --> 01:12:34,840
Speaker 1: exactly what happened. You gotta get your social life going.

1514
01:12:34,840 --> 01:12:36,599
Speaker 1: There was days he would come in here at Steve

1515
01:12:36,640 --> 01:12:39,040
Speaker 1: and talk about the six different people. Yes, and I'm like,

1516
01:12:39,920 --> 01:12:42,800
Speaker 1: what I'm going to Uh, I'll be at the Texans game. So, oh,

1517
01:12:42,840 --> 01:12:45,040
Speaker 1: you're in the Houston via the Corner Houston, so you'll

Speaker 1: see people in the family going there, so I have

1519
01:12:47,000 --> 01:12:50,360
Speaker 1: to see my mom came out. My mom was like,

01:12:51,240 --> 01:12:54,040
Speaker 1: what day y'all coming. I was like, okay, we gotta

1522
01:12:56,280 --> 01:12:58,320
Speaker 1: of weeks away. Pretty so I'm not I haven't thought

1523
01:12:58,320 --> 01:13:00,000
Speaker 1: about that. Thurman, thanks for this. Good to see you.

1524
01:13:00,080 --> 01:13:02,639
Speaker 1: We appreciate it coming to you guys. Thanks Derman Thomas,

1525
01:13:02,680 --> 01:13:04,479
Speaker 1: hall of fame running back for the Buffalo Bills, joining

1526
01:13:04,560 --> 01:13:06,680
Speaker 1: us in studio. Steve and I back with more One

1527
01:13:06,720 --> 01:13:10,000
Speaker 1: Bills Live from One Bill's Driving. This is Buffalo Bills Radio.

1528
01:13:26,160 --> 01:13:28,439
Speaker 1: Thanks again to Thurman Thomas, the Hall of Famer stopping

1529
01:13:28,520 --> 01:13:31,519
Speaker 1: by always lightens the move, to say the least when

1530
01:13:31,520 --> 01:13:34,000
Speaker 1: he comes in. Forgot to ask him about sausage. I

1531
01:13:34,040 --> 01:13:37,200
Speaker 1: know he's a sausage guy. Never got to that part

1532
01:13:37,240 --> 01:13:38,800
Speaker 1: of it. Never got to the sausage part of the

1533
01:13:39,200 --> 01:13:41,640
Speaker 1: interview with thurmant Thanks for tuning in. The Bills are

1534
01:13:41,640 --> 01:13:43,559
Speaker 1: on the practice field at the ad Pro Sports Training

1535
01:13:43,600 --> 01:13:49,360
Speaker 1: Center practicing indoors today. Buffalo a number of players limited.

1536
01:13:49,360 --> 01:13:53,800
Speaker 1: They gave Lorenzo, Alexander and Kyle Williams, a veteran rest date.

1537
01:13:53,840 --> 01:13:57,040
Speaker 1: Lashawan McCoy limited with his ribs. We talked to therm

1538
01:13:57,120 --> 01:14:00,320
Speaker 1: about that. Charles Clay also, yep, I think he did

1539
01:14:00,360 --> 01:14:03,639
Speaker 1: that last year too. They they didn't call it that today,

1540
01:14:03,680 --> 01:14:05,880
Speaker 1: but limited. They said today, yeah, he's limited. So I

1541
01:14:05,920 --> 01:14:07,320
Speaker 1: don't know if he's got an injury or where. They

1542
01:14:07,360 --> 01:14:10,360
Speaker 1: just said, you know, yeah, take it easy. Clay should

1543
01:14:10,400 --> 01:14:12,519
Speaker 1: be effector and what the Bills are trying to do offensively.

1544
01:14:12,560 --> 01:14:14,920
Speaker 1: And we're talking about the Buffalo offense today. I want

1545
01:14:14,920 --> 01:14:16,840
Speaker 1: to hear from you about our Twitter poll. What's the

1546
01:14:16,880 --> 01:14:19,080
Speaker 1: next step? It's pretty simple. What's the next step for

1547
01:14:19,120 --> 01:14:22,000
Speaker 1: the Buffalo offense? What do you think? On Twitter? Thirty

1548
01:14:22,120 --> 01:14:24,599
Speaker 1: six percent of you say it's get starting to sustain

1549
01:14:24,680 --> 01:14:27,960
Speaker 1: offensive drives. Thirty six percent say get the run game going,

1550
01:14:28,040 --> 01:14:30,400
Speaker 1: get Shady involved, twenty six percent say get the wide

1551
01:14:30,439 --> 01:14:33,360
Speaker 1: receivers involved, and two percent have something else in mind.

1552
01:14:33,520 --> 01:14:36,320
Speaker 1: Phone lines open eight three five fifty toll free one

1553
01:14:36,479 --> 01:14:40,160
Speaker 1: eight eight five fifty two five fifty or participate in

1554
01:14:40,200 --> 01:14:43,280
Speaker 1: the Twitter poll or vote on Twitter. You can always

1555
01:14:43,320 --> 01:14:45,760
Speaker 1: do that. I would vote for I don't know they

1556
01:14:45,760 --> 01:14:47,679
Speaker 1: all are linked. I will give you that. Yeah, they're

1557
01:14:47,680 --> 01:14:49,479
Speaker 1: hand in hand, but there's all you know, you want

1558
01:14:49,479 --> 01:14:51,360
Speaker 1: to see something, if you want to see some growth

1559
01:14:51,439 --> 01:14:54,920
Speaker 1: or some change, what's the one you most liked, most

1560
01:14:54,960 --> 01:14:58,280
Speaker 1: like to see. I think of those three, and once

1561
01:14:58,320 --> 01:15:03,040
Speaker 1: again it's it's a close race. Yeah, very good, very good,

1562
01:15:03,040 --> 01:15:07,000
Speaker 1: twittery m Clay Matthews and I watched, as I said,

1563
01:15:07,000 --> 01:15:09,600
Speaker 1: I watched the Packers and saw now I've seen. I

1564
01:15:09,600 --> 01:15:11,640
Speaker 1: watched the Packers a week ago, Packers Vikings, so the

1565
01:15:11,640 --> 01:15:14,639
Speaker 1: Packers watching it. I watched that last night. In both games,

1566
01:15:15,520 --> 01:15:18,760
Speaker 1: Packers linebacker Clay Matthews got flank for very controversial roughing

1567
01:15:18,800 --> 01:15:20,720
Speaker 1: the passer calls. And it's an issue now right all

1568
01:15:20,720 --> 01:15:23,639
Speaker 1: over the league. Everybody's talking about it. What constitutes rushing,

1569
01:15:24,360 --> 01:15:27,880
Speaker 1: rushing the path, roughing the passer? A lot of brand

1570
01:15:27,880 --> 01:15:30,840
Speaker 1: new twist to the rules where defenders are prohibited from

1571
01:15:30,920 --> 01:15:33,800
Speaker 1: landing with their full body weight on the quarterback. Jerry

1572
01:15:33,840 --> 01:15:35,519
Speaker 1: Jones says, that's a big deal. The owner of the

1573
01:15:35,560 --> 01:15:39,240
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys, the de facto general manager of the Dallas Cowboys,

1574
01:15:39,439 --> 01:15:41,720
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones, talked about it speaking on the fan in

1575
01:15:41,800 --> 01:15:46,600
Speaker 1: Dallas yesterday. Here's what he said. When it comes to

1576
01:15:46,640 --> 01:15:50,000
Speaker 1: pro football. To use a boxing term, that's when you

1577
01:15:50,040 --> 01:15:54,439
Speaker 1: put the six ounce club. So that's when you you

1578
01:15:54,479 --> 01:15:57,040
Speaker 1: don't fight with those ten outs or you don't fight

1579
01:15:57,120 --> 01:16:02,360
Speaker 1: with those head gears. Everybody's being really paid to go

1580
01:16:02,400 --> 01:16:05,599
Speaker 1: out and they're paid a lot of money to go

1581
01:16:05,680 --> 01:16:10,960
Speaker 1: out and incur those type situations that have more risk

1582
01:16:11,040 --> 01:16:15,840
Speaker 1: at them. It's really important that pro football distinguish itself

1583
01:16:16,600 --> 01:16:20,839
Speaker 1: as a very physical game relative to the game at college,

1584
01:16:21,080 --> 01:16:24,240
Speaker 1: relative to the game in high school and amateur. That's

1585
01:16:24,360 --> 01:16:27,960
Speaker 1: very important. Now, where to find that balance, that's one thing.

1586
01:16:28,080 --> 01:16:30,760
Speaker 1: But when we finish, or when we get to a

1587
01:16:30,880 --> 01:16:34,160
Speaker 1: point in the future, in time, you'll see pro football

1588
01:16:34,600 --> 01:16:37,240
Speaker 1: where they put the six Houns gloves on and where

1589
01:16:37,280 --> 01:16:41,320
Speaker 1: the men are playing. Interesting comments from the Cowboys owner.

1590
01:16:41,439 --> 01:16:44,840
Speaker 1: He had a player, Tyrone Crawford, call for roughing the

1591
01:16:44,840 --> 01:16:48,120
Speaker 1: pass there after hitting Russell Wilson over the weekend. He obviously,

1592
01:16:48,280 --> 01:16:50,559
Speaker 1: I mean, from whatever you think of Jerry Jones, he

1593
01:16:50,600 --> 01:16:53,400
Speaker 1: knows what he's looking at, he knows what profile, he knows. Yeah, absolutely,

1594
01:16:53,439 --> 01:16:55,000
Speaker 1: what do you think I mean? It was seemed to

1595
01:16:55,040 --> 01:16:58,360
Speaker 1: me in i'm Park, Avada and New York they probably

1596
01:16:58,400 --> 01:17:01,439
Speaker 1: cringe when they heard that sound like, I don't know, Yeah, maybe,

1597
01:17:01,800 --> 01:17:03,880
Speaker 1: but he's I hear a lot of what he's saying,

1598
01:17:03,880 --> 01:17:05,519
Speaker 1: and I agree with it. I think the only thing

1599
01:17:05,560 --> 01:17:08,960
Speaker 1: you wouldn't even get any pushback from the players. All

1600
01:17:09,000 --> 01:17:11,080
Speaker 1: you'd need to do is just give all the players

1601
01:17:11,280 --> 01:17:14,080
Speaker 1: lifetime health benefits. They know what they're signing up for,

1602
01:17:14,640 --> 01:17:16,120
Speaker 1: they know they're gonna get taken care of, and that

1603
01:17:16,200 --> 01:17:19,000
Speaker 1: you know, we had that. It's now a little bit

1604
01:17:19,040 --> 01:17:21,080
Speaker 1: humorous letter from the Hall of Famers wanting to get

1605
01:17:21,160 --> 01:17:23,040
Speaker 1: lifetime benefits for just for the Hall of Famers. But

1606
01:17:23,040 --> 01:17:26,719
Speaker 1: I think if they're going to give health benetsifit's the players,

1607
01:17:26,760 --> 01:17:29,839
Speaker 1: no problem, you know, let them play a more physical

1608
01:17:29,880 --> 01:17:31,640
Speaker 1: game at the pro level. The players do know what

1609
01:17:31,680 --> 01:17:35,000
Speaker 1: they're signed up. They're very well compensated. The problem is,

1610
01:17:35,040 --> 01:17:37,880
Speaker 1: how do you get consistency with the rules this Clay

1611
01:17:37,960 --> 01:17:43,000
Speaker 1: Matthews issues. Listen the second one of the three he

1612
01:17:43,040 --> 01:17:45,799
Speaker 1: got called for roughing the passer in the first three weeks,

1613
01:17:46,160 --> 01:17:48,640
Speaker 1: one of them that won against the Vikings led to

1614
01:17:48,680 --> 01:17:51,439
Speaker 1: a tie the game. If he does not get that penalty,

1615
01:17:51,560 --> 01:17:53,400
Speaker 1: that game is over and the Packers win it. As

1616
01:17:53,439 --> 01:17:58,000
Speaker 1: it ended up that pat the Vikings get the touch

1617
01:17:58,040 --> 01:18:01,160
Speaker 1: to get the penalty, continue with the possession, get the touchdown,

1618
01:18:01,600 --> 01:18:03,240
Speaker 1: tie the game up or field goal, whatever it was,

1619
01:18:03,280 --> 01:18:04,960
Speaker 1: and they tie the game up and it ends a tie.

1620
01:18:05,160 --> 01:18:08,679
Speaker 1: And it was nothing but that last penalty that Clay

1621
01:18:08,760 --> 01:18:11,720
Speaker 1: Matthews incurred rough in the passer, which it was the

1622
01:18:11,760 --> 01:18:13,960
Speaker 1: scoop one where he grabbed the guy's leg and scooped

1623
01:18:13,960 --> 01:18:18,320
Speaker 1: and dipped and lend it on him. Listen, I get it.

1624
01:18:18,400 --> 01:18:20,760
Speaker 1: The problem. It's been a change. It's something we're not

1625
01:18:20,920 --> 01:18:24,160
Speaker 1: used to seeing. When you get used to seeing it, it

1626
01:18:24,040 --> 01:18:26,200
Speaker 1: it won't be that big a deal if they can

1627
01:18:26,240 --> 01:18:28,040
Speaker 1: call it the same all the time. But you got

1628
01:18:28,040 --> 01:18:30,479
Speaker 1: these defenders who come in and do something and it's

1629
01:18:30,520 --> 01:18:33,759
Speaker 1: really innocuous. It's not something that you've seen other guys

1630
01:18:33,800 --> 01:18:36,759
Speaker 1: get hurt for. And that's not the point. The point

1631
01:18:36,880 --> 01:18:41,519
Speaker 1: is keeping your body weight off the quarterback, and you

1632
01:18:41,600 --> 01:18:43,840
Speaker 1: know if you do that, you're not going to get penalized.

1633
01:18:44,040 --> 01:18:46,360
Speaker 1: And there's no question they want these guys. You know,

1634
01:18:46,439 --> 01:18:48,880
Speaker 1: they want the quarterbacks protected because they're so important to

1635
01:18:48,920 --> 01:18:51,200
Speaker 1: these teams. You wonder where it's going, though. There's a

1636
01:18:51,200 --> 01:18:54,320
Speaker 1: couple of reports out there. NFL dot Com reporter Judy

1637
01:18:54,360 --> 01:18:57,280
Speaker 1: Battista who's a really good reporter. She've been on the

1638
01:18:57,280 --> 01:18:59,599
Speaker 1: show a lot. She says. Some members of the Competition

1639
01:18:59,760 --> 01:19:03,479
Speaker 1: any are uncomfortable with the roughing the pastor penalties that

1640
01:19:03,479 --> 01:19:06,200
Speaker 1: have been called so far, including at least one of

1641
01:19:06,200 --> 01:19:09,240
Speaker 1: the Clay Matthews penalties. Judy Batista reports that there'll be

1642
01:19:09,240 --> 01:19:12,439
Speaker 1: a discussion next week, but members of the Competition Committee

1643
01:19:12,439 --> 01:19:15,240
Speaker 1: are unsure if they're going to make immedia changes. ESPN's

1644
01:19:15,280 --> 01:19:18,360
Speaker 1: Dan Graziano says that members are concerned. There's a call

1645
01:19:18,439 --> 01:19:22,200
Speaker 1: scheduled changes not expected to come this year. Mark Maski

1646
01:19:22,280 --> 01:19:24,559
Speaker 1: from The Washington Post Peter King talked about this yesterday.

1647
01:19:24,920 --> 01:19:27,680
Speaker 1: He reports that it's expected the roughing the pastor rule

1648
01:19:28,000 --> 01:19:30,920
Speaker 1: will be called differently, with a shift in emphasis becoming

1649
01:19:31,000 --> 01:19:34,680
Speaker 1: clear through videos distributed by the league, which means they

1650
01:19:34,720 --> 01:19:37,919
Speaker 1: might not change the language. They might not even publicly

1651
01:19:37,920 --> 01:19:40,680
Speaker 1: announced it. They're changing it, but they want officials to

1652
01:19:40,720 --> 01:19:42,960
Speaker 1: call it differently. We'll see how this plays out. We

1653
01:19:43,040 --> 01:19:44,800
Speaker 1: know there's a lot of pushback, right you heard Jerry

1654
01:19:44,840 --> 01:19:50,000
Speaker 1: Jones pushback pushback this one. I guess I find it

1655
01:19:50,000 --> 01:19:52,559
Speaker 1: a little bit hard to believe, but people say it happened.

1656
01:19:52,600 --> 01:19:56,000
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins William Hayes suffered a torn ACL trying to

1657
01:19:56,000 --> 01:19:59,240
Speaker 1: avoid putting his body weight on Derek Carr, the Oakland quarterback,

1658
01:19:59,320 --> 01:20:01,720
Speaker 1: last week. That's the allegation that he suffered a torn

1659
01:20:01,880 --> 01:20:04,840
Speaker 1: ACL trying to comply with the rule. I didn't see

1660
01:20:04,840 --> 01:20:09,880
Speaker 1: that play, and I don't know. I don't know. I

1661
01:20:09,880 --> 01:20:12,280
Speaker 1: don't know how that happened. It didn't It looked like

1662
01:20:12,360 --> 01:20:15,479
Speaker 1: the Jimmy garoppolo play. I don't know why he thinks

1663
01:20:16,080 --> 01:20:21,240
Speaker 1: doing something different would have saved his knee. Um, it

1664
01:20:21,280 --> 01:20:24,599
Speaker 1: was an innocuous play by any standard, and I don't

1665
01:20:24,600 --> 01:20:28,759
Speaker 1: know how even got hurt on that play. But whatever

1666
01:20:28,800 --> 01:20:33,400
Speaker 1: his mindset was, that he did something different. Uh, that's

1667
01:20:33,439 --> 01:20:37,320
Speaker 1: what he says. Yeah, No, I don't see Yeah, I

1668
01:20:37,320 --> 01:20:39,800
Speaker 1: don't see it at all. I don't see it at all.

1669
01:20:40,200 --> 01:20:43,519
Speaker 1: There's nothing He got Derek Carr on the ground, And

1670
01:20:43,520 --> 01:20:44,960
Speaker 1: I don't know how he could have even made a

1671
01:20:44,960 --> 01:20:47,760
Speaker 1: different play than he did. He came out an up

1672
01:20:47,760 --> 01:20:51,320
Speaker 1: and under rush. Yeah, I don't know. And there's no

1673
01:20:51,360 --> 01:20:54,200
Speaker 1: way you can convince me that that hit and that

1674
01:20:54,280 --> 01:20:57,040
Speaker 1: play because he did something different than he normally would

1675
01:20:58,080 --> 01:21:00,719
Speaker 1: injured his knee. Now I get it that the thought

1676
01:21:00,800 --> 01:21:03,479
Speaker 1: is out there that the defender will do something different

1677
01:21:03,720 --> 01:21:07,320
Speaker 1: and he'll get into a weird position and hurt himself. No,

1678
01:21:08,000 --> 01:21:10,960
Speaker 1: I don't see it. I don't know how what he

1679
01:21:11,360 --> 01:21:14,960
Speaker 1: what he thinks? Well, no, I don't know, Adam Gays

1680
01:21:15,040 --> 01:21:17,439
Speaker 1: claimed Monday morning. Adam Gays quote, he was trying to

1681
01:21:17,640 --> 01:21:20,080
Speaker 1: not put his body weight on the quarterback and that happened.

1682
01:21:20,720 --> 01:21:22,719
Speaker 1: I wonder you can take a look at it, and

1683
01:21:22,720 --> 01:21:26,080
Speaker 1: maybe even even the last replay that we showed on

1684
01:21:26,080 --> 01:21:28,800
Speaker 1: the MSG side, you can almost see William Hayes trying

1685
01:21:28,840 --> 01:21:32,080
Speaker 1: to instead of driving right to the middle of Derek Carr,

1686
01:21:32,280 --> 01:21:34,000
Speaker 1: kind of pulling off to the side a little bit

1687
01:21:34,040 --> 01:21:35,879
Speaker 1: to the right a little bit. Was that his attempt

1688
01:21:35,880 --> 01:21:39,479
Speaker 1: not to put his body weight on the quarterback. That

1689
01:21:39,560 --> 01:21:42,600
Speaker 1: might be the argument, you know, in an effort to

1690
01:21:42,920 --> 01:21:46,120
Speaker 1: avoid getting penalized, that he did not drive straight through

1691
01:21:46,160 --> 01:21:47,720
Speaker 1: Derek Carr. He tried to go to the right a

1692
01:21:47,720 --> 01:21:50,559
Speaker 1: little bit so as to avoid putting his entire body

1693
01:21:50,600 --> 01:21:52,920
Speaker 1: weight on the quarterback. It's a little bit, said me

1694
01:21:52,960 --> 01:21:57,559
Speaker 1: say this, if you're doing that, if you're if you

1695
01:21:57,600 --> 01:22:03,639
Speaker 1: think that's a problem, what do you think defenders? I mean,

1696
01:22:05,400 --> 01:22:09,040
Speaker 1: I listen, if he hurt himself trying to not hurt

1697
01:22:09,080 --> 01:22:13,639
Speaker 1: another player. Listen, guys get hurt trying to hurt other

1698
01:22:13,640 --> 01:22:19,120
Speaker 1: players too. I mean, I mean, what are we talking about.

1699
01:22:19,240 --> 01:22:21,479
Speaker 1: I mean, that's it's a It's there for a reason.

1700
01:22:21,560 --> 01:22:23,920
Speaker 1: The rules are there for a reason. If you get

1701
01:22:24,000 --> 01:22:28,760
Speaker 1: hurt trying to play within the rules, you know that

1702
01:22:29,080 --> 01:22:33,400
Speaker 1: it happens to everybody about every rule. I mean, you know,

1703
01:22:33,439 --> 01:22:37,320
Speaker 1: every rule that involves competitive is of competitive nature. You

1704
01:22:37,320 --> 01:22:40,000
Speaker 1: can get hurt doing any of it. So to say

1705
01:22:40,040 --> 01:22:42,240
Speaker 1: that he's hurt because they put a new rule in

1706
01:22:42,400 --> 01:22:46,719
Speaker 1: is to me ridiculous. Certainly he might have been thinking

1707
01:22:46,760 --> 01:22:51,000
Speaker 1: about it when he got hurt. You think Jimmy Garoppolo

1708
01:22:51,200 --> 01:22:54,439
Speaker 1: is gonna complain that the field isn't wide enough because

1709
01:22:54,439 --> 01:22:56,120
Speaker 1: he had to cut back in and it made his

1710
01:22:56,200 --> 01:23:00,200
Speaker 1: knee buckle when he cut. Nobody got hurt. Nobody, you know,

1711
01:23:00,200 --> 01:23:03,559
Speaker 1: nobody's to blame about that either. You know, he cut

1712
01:23:03,600 --> 01:23:06,880
Speaker 1: on his left leg and it buckled. There was there

1713
01:23:06,880 --> 01:23:09,000
Speaker 1: a rule there that needed that he was trying to

1714
01:23:09,000 --> 01:23:11,000
Speaker 1: adhere to. That it that caused him to get hurt.

1715
01:23:11,040 --> 01:23:15,080
Speaker 1: It was there is there a rule when uh, yeah,

1716
01:23:15,080 --> 01:23:17,720
Speaker 1: he just name your injury, and name your injury that

1717
01:23:17,840 --> 01:23:21,160
Speaker 1: somebody's trying to adhere to one of the rules invariably.

1718
01:23:21,560 --> 01:23:26,720
Speaker 1: So I don't buy this stuff about protecting quarterbacks means

1719
01:23:26,720 --> 01:23:29,120
Speaker 1: everybody else is in more danger. It's just not true

1720
01:23:29,160 --> 01:23:31,479
Speaker 1: to me. It's just not true. It stops on that.

1721
01:23:31,520 --> 01:23:32,960
Speaker 1: If you do give us a calleau, got phone lines

1722
01:23:33,000 --> 01:23:37,920
Speaker 1: open eight fifty and toll free one eight five, two fifty,

1723
01:23:38,840 --> 01:23:42,280
Speaker 1: that doesn't mean. It doesn't mean. I don't that. I'm

1724
01:23:42,479 --> 01:23:43,920
Speaker 1: you know, think all these new rules in the way

1725
01:23:43,920 --> 01:23:46,439
Speaker 1: they're being called or right, I mean the Clay Matthew stuff.

1726
01:23:46,479 --> 01:23:48,160
Speaker 1: I mean some of them are you're right, some of

1727
01:23:48,200 --> 01:23:50,479
Speaker 1: them look ridiculous when they're calling these roughing of pastors.

1728
01:23:50,520 --> 01:23:52,800
Speaker 1: I get all that, but don't give me this thing

1729
01:23:52,840 --> 01:23:54,960
Speaker 1: like it makes it more dangerous when you try to

1730
01:23:54,960 --> 01:23:58,040
Speaker 1: protect the quarterbacks. It doesn't make it more dangerous for

1731
01:23:58,080 --> 01:24:00,920
Speaker 1: everybody else. That's that's my point. That's my point. If

1732
01:24:00,960 --> 01:24:02,880
Speaker 1: we got high school football here at New air Field

01:25:12,800 --> 01:25:14,760
Speaker 1: you about the green Bay defense having been there for

1755
01:25:14,800 --> 01:25:17,040
Speaker 1: some one but they changed coordinators as well. Has that

1756
01:25:17,080 --> 01:25:19,320
Speaker 1: been an issue for you guys coming into this game.

1757
01:25:19,560 --> 01:25:22,080
Speaker 1: No getting to read on the new coordinator. Oh, I

1758
01:25:22,080 --> 01:25:23,760
Speaker 1: don't think it's been an issue. I mean I think

1759
01:25:23,840 --> 01:25:27,120
Speaker 1: just being able to go and study Tennessees and um,

1760
01:25:27,200 --> 01:25:29,519
Speaker 1: obviously he did have some he has some really good

1761
01:25:29,560 --> 01:25:33,439
Speaker 1: tips on on you know, just especially number twelve. Um,

1762
01:25:33,560 --> 01:25:35,840
Speaker 1: just how he's gonna approach the game and approach us

1763
01:25:35,840 --> 01:25:38,000
Speaker 1: and so, um. You know, whenever you get a guy

1764
01:25:38,000 --> 01:25:41,400
Speaker 1: who's who's played um on the other team, Uh, it's

1765
01:25:41,439 --> 01:25:44,080
Speaker 1: always it's always good and helpful for us. I'd be

1766
01:25:44,120 --> 01:25:46,120
Speaker 1: interested in hearing some of those tips on Audie Animal

1767
01:25:46,240 --> 01:25:50,240
Speaker 1: number twelve. Aaron Roddie can't tell you well, I mean

1768
01:25:50,280 --> 01:25:53,160
Speaker 1: the guy looks unstoppable. He's banged up, his left knee

1769
01:25:53,200 --> 01:25:55,719
Speaker 1: is is really hurting, yet he still makes plays. Yeah,

1770
01:25:55,760 --> 01:25:58,840
Speaker 1: I mean he's a he's a gamer. Um, you know,

1771
01:25:58,880 --> 01:26:01,040
Speaker 1: he's are you being one of the best quarterbacks who

1772
01:26:01,040 --> 01:26:03,559
Speaker 1: have played the game, And so when you're going up

1773
01:26:03,600 --> 01:26:05,880
Speaker 1: against a guy like that, you know you you gotta

1774
01:26:05,920 --> 01:26:07,840
Speaker 1: be you gotta be on your stuff man. And um,

1775
01:26:07,920 --> 01:26:10,519
Speaker 1: you know, because he he'll he'll find he'll find the

1776
01:26:10,520 --> 01:26:13,280
Speaker 1: weakness and he'll exploit it. What's the personality, their offense.

1777
01:26:13,320 --> 01:26:16,000
Speaker 1: I mean talk a little bit about you know, their guys,

1778
01:26:16,040 --> 01:26:18,919
Speaker 1: their go to guys. Yeah, run a game with obviously

1779
01:26:19,000 --> 01:26:22,360
Speaker 1: Cobb m over there. Um is a huge threat. You know,

1780
01:26:22,400 --> 01:26:23,760
Speaker 1: he likes to find ways to get the ball in

1781
01:26:23,800 --> 01:26:26,080
Speaker 1: his hand. You know, obviously they got Jimmy Graham, UM,

1782
01:26:26,200 --> 01:26:29,439
Speaker 1: huge red zone threat. Um. And I mean twelve runs

1783
01:26:29,439 --> 01:26:32,160
Speaker 1: the show though twelve he'll he'll go back there if

1784
01:26:32,160 --> 01:26:35,040
Speaker 1: he doesn't like something, Um, he'll he'll make his checks

1785
01:26:35,080 --> 01:26:37,360
Speaker 1: to to get his offense and the best play. And so,

1786
01:26:37,760 --> 01:26:40,519
Speaker 1: like I said, we're gonna this week's gonna be um

1787
01:26:40,600 --> 01:26:42,960
Speaker 1: huge on the back end, especially our disguises and being

1788
01:26:42,960 --> 01:26:45,479
Speaker 1: able to uh to make him think, you know, and

1789
01:26:45,720 --> 01:26:47,640
Speaker 1: hold the ball maybe half a second longer. Jordan, it

1790
01:26:47,640 --> 01:26:50,960
Speaker 1: appears that there's like a certain fearless quality to Aaron Rodgers.

1791
01:26:51,360 --> 01:26:54,720
Speaker 1: He'll throw it anywhere, force it anywhere. Uh doesn't care

1792
01:26:54,760 --> 01:26:56,680
Speaker 1: really what your coverage is or what he sees it

1793
01:26:56,800 --> 01:26:59,240
Speaker 1: looking at your coverage. Yeah. I actually actually some of this,

1794
01:26:59,360 --> 01:27:02,320
Speaker 1: and Josh Allen sometimes too, but that's an important gat. Yeah,

1795
01:27:02,360 --> 01:27:06,400
Speaker 1: he's confidence his confidence, you know, he which he should have. Um,

1796
01:27:06,520 --> 01:27:08,360
Speaker 1: you know, he's able to make every throw and so

1797
01:27:08,479 --> 01:27:10,840
Speaker 1: he's made every throw. Um he's played in the game.

1798
01:27:10,920 --> 01:27:12,599
Speaker 1: I don't know what year this is for him, but

1799
01:27:12,640 --> 01:27:14,559
Speaker 1: you know he's made every throw. UM. So he's his

1800
01:27:14,680 --> 01:27:16,360
Speaker 1: confidence is high. You can tell by the way he

1801
01:27:16,360 --> 01:27:19,280
Speaker 1: plays the game, by the way he um. He's just

1802
01:27:19,320 --> 01:27:23,320
Speaker 1: out there um walking walking to the to the line scrimmage.

1803
01:27:23,320 --> 01:27:26,160
Speaker 1: You know, he's just a swagger. So um, you obviously

1804
01:27:26,280 --> 01:27:28,400
Speaker 1: respect a guy like that and so um, you know,

1805
01:27:28,520 --> 01:27:30,519
Speaker 1: just got to prepare heart and come ready to play.

1806
01:27:30,560 --> 01:27:32,720
Speaker 1: We were talking just before we went on about the

1807
01:27:32,760 --> 01:27:34,560
Speaker 1: game that Ryan Lewis put together. We had him on

1808
01:27:34,560 --> 01:27:37,160
Speaker 1: the show early in the week. I was surprised by

1809
01:27:37,200 --> 01:27:39,680
Speaker 1: how well he played. I mean, you know, he's you know,

1810
01:27:39,760 --> 01:27:41,920
Speaker 1: less than what fourteen days before that game, he wasn't

1811
01:27:41,960 --> 01:27:43,920
Speaker 1: even on the team. Yeah, you know Ryan, Uh, he's

1812
01:27:43,960 --> 01:27:46,640
Speaker 1: he's a smart football player, um uh. And and he

1813
01:27:46,960 --> 01:27:49,639
Speaker 1: studies well and and he listens. He's coachable and so

1814
01:27:49,760 --> 01:27:52,080
Speaker 1: you know, anytime you're a guy like that, who's who's

1815
01:27:52,120 --> 01:27:54,360
Speaker 1: willing to come into you know, a new system, a

1816
01:27:54,400 --> 01:27:56,760
Speaker 1: new secondary and being able to bond um with the

1817
01:27:56,800 --> 01:27:59,040
Speaker 1: guys like he like he's been doing. Um, you know,

1818
01:27:59,080 --> 01:28:00,800
Speaker 1: it's only gonna help out he can get better. You know,

1819
01:28:00,840 --> 01:28:02,840
Speaker 1: we're we talked to Ryan yesterday in the show, and

1820
01:28:03,200 --> 01:28:06,280
Speaker 1: he's got a football background, right, He's his uncle is

1821
01:28:06,880 --> 01:28:09,839
Speaker 1: Lewis Riddick. His father is a GM and the Alliance

1822
01:28:09,840 --> 01:28:11,960
Speaker 1: of American Football the new league coming out that. Yeah,

1823
01:28:12,000 --> 01:28:13,880
Speaker 1: he's growing up around the game. And maybe that goes

1824
01:28:13,920 --> 01:28:15,360
Speaker 1: to what you say about him being a smart player.

1825
01:28:15,360 --> 01:28:16,880
Speaker 1: He's grown up around this. Yeah, I didn't know that,

1826
01:28:16,920 --> 01:28:19,559
Speaker 1: but that's that's interesting in fact. But now, like I said,

1827
01:28:19,560 --> 01:28:23,559
Speaker 1: he's a very smart football player and he works extremely hard,

1828
01:28:23,600 --> 01:28:25,280
Speaker 1: and so it's a he's a fun guy to have

1829
01:28:25,360 --> 01:28:27,680
Speaker 1: in our secondary, is it with him? Now? He got

1830
01:28:27,720 --> 01:28:29,160
Speaker 1: a game under his belt and it was a good

1831
01:28:29,200 --> 01:28:32,160
Speaker 1: game for the entire defense. Does that give you maybe

1832
01:28:32,160 --> 01:28:33,880
Speaker 1: a little added confidence or a little bit of a

1833
01:28:34,040 --> 01:28:35,479
Speaker 1: kind of you can take you like, Okay, now at

1834
01:28:35,560 --> 01:28:38,080
Speaker 1: least we know we got a guy over there. I mean,

1835
01:28:38,080 --> 01:28:39,880
Speaker 1: there had to be some apprehension going into the game,

1836
01:28:39,920 --> 01:28:42,599
Speaker 1: not knowing what you know. Now. Honestly, I don't think

1837
01:28:42,640 --> 01:28:47,200
Speaker 1: anybody thought like, I don't think anybody was thinking bad

1838
01:28:47,200 --> 01:28:50,400
Speaker 1: about the situation. I think everybody had confidence going into

1839
01:28:50,400 --> 01:28:52,559
Speaker 1: the game, regardless who was gonna be out because we

1840
01:28:52,560 --> 01:28:54,400
Speaker 1: didn't even know who was going to start until really

1841
01:28:54,920 --> 01:28:58,280
Speaker 1: probably two hours before the game. So um, and once

1842
01:28:58,320 --> 01:29:00,680
Speaker 1: we found out, like I said, it's always and so

1843
01:29:00,840 --> 01:29:02,800
Speaker 1: we could say, hey, Ryan, here we go, let's do this.

1844
01:29:02,880 --> 01:29:04,240
Speaker 1: You know, we're out there. Like I said, he played

1845
01:29:04,280 --> 01:29:06,000
Speaker 1: hell of a game. The other corner you know, is

1846
01:29:06,040 --> 01:29:08,640
Speaker 1: playing pretty well too, Tardavius. And and this year it

1847
01:29:08,680 --> 01:29:10,519
Speaker 1: seems the Bills are using him more to match up

1848
01:29:10,520 --> 01:29:12,280
Speaker 1: with people. He's not playing left and right. What is

1849
01:29:12,280 --> 01:29:15,040
Speaker 1: that meant to the overall secondary? And do you guys

1850
01:29:15,040 --> 01:29:17,800
Speaker 1: back there at safety? I mean, Trey is trade man.

1851
01:29:17,840 --> 01:29:19,639
Speaker 1: He's gonna go out there every game and he's gonna

1852
01:29:19,760 --> 01:29:22,280
Speaker 1: you know, he's gonna be Trey. Uh, he's gonna go

1853
01:29:22,280 --> 01:29:25,160
Speaker 1: go to the best receiver each and every week. And

1854
01:29:24,800 --> 01:29:27,800
Speaker 1: um he he wants that, you know, and he expects that.

1855
01:29:27,840 --> 01:29:30,200
Speaker 1: And so um. You know, when you got a guy

1856
01:29:30,240 --> 01:29:32,200
Speaker 1: like Trey over there, you know who you know, you're

1857
01:29:32,280 --> 01:29:34,760
Speaker 1: able to maybe lean the other way a little bit

1858
01:29:34,760 --> 01:29:37,240
Speaker 1: because you know he's gonna be on lockdown. Talk a

1859
01:29:37,240 --> 01:29:40,679
Speaker 1: little bit about a philosophy. Sometimes there's two different ways

1860
01:29:40,720 --> 01:29:43,320
Speaker 1: to do it. You've got a lockdown guy like Tredavious.

1861
01:29:43,920 --> 01:29:46,160
Speaker 1: You can put him on the number one guy and

1862
01:29:46,160 --> 01:29:48,280
Speaker 1: and lock him down and knowing that they may get

1863
01:29:48,320 --> 01:29:50,200
Speaker 1: some targets over there and even maybe the guy does

1864
01:29:50,400 --> 01:29:51,920
Speaker 1: you know, win once in a while. More, do you

1865
01:29:51,920 --> 01:29:54,840
Speaker 1: put a guy like Tredavious on their number two guy

1866
01:29:55,040 --> 01:29:57,080
Speaker 1: knowing he's not going to be a factor, and then

1867
01:29:57,160 --> 01:29:58,800
Speaker 1: double team the one wherever he got You know what

1868
01:29:58,880 --> 01:30:01,519
Speaker 1: I'm saying. I guess you mean you can flip the

1869
01:30:01,560 --> 01:30:03,600
Speaker 1: coin and do it one of two ways, knowing that

1870
01:30:03,640 --> 01:30:05,360
Speaker 1: if you double team their number one guy, you got

1871
01:30:05,400 --> 01:30:08,040
Speaker 1: a good chance, and maybe taking him out of that play, Yeah,

1872
01:30:08,080 --> 01:30:10,559
Speaker 1: and shutting down the top two guys instead of just

1873
01:30:10,600 --> 01:30:13,920
Speaker 1: the top one with Tredavius. I mean, if you go there,

1874
01:30:13,960 --> 01:30:17,880
Speaker 1: then you're kind of you're almost taking two guys. You know,

1875
01:30:17,880 --> 01:30:19,519
Speaker 1: you're taking two guys out of the play for one

1876
01:30:19,560 --> 01:30:21,880
Speaker 1: guy instead of one for one almost, you know, you

1877
01:30:22,360 --> 01:30:25,160
Speaker 1: I think exactly. I think our defense and our coaches

1878
01:30:25,200 --> 01:30:27,280
Speaker 1: have a lot of confidence in trade that you know Trey,

1879
01:30:28,000 --> 01:30:29,880
Speaker 1: you know you're guarding him and that's gonna be let

1880
01:30:29,960 --> 01:30:31,760
Speaker 1: him catch it. Yeah, I mean, and they get paid too.

1881
01:30:31,800 --> 01:30:34,040
Speaker 1: I mean they're gonna make plays. But at the end

1882
01:30:34,080 --> 01:30:36,280
Speaker 1: of the day, don't give up, you know, big plays,

1883
01:30:36,320 --> 01:30:38,439
Speaker 1: and I think, you know, we'll be okay. Yeah, to

1884
01:30:38,479 --> 01:30:39,920
Speaker 1: think about it is is, even if he doesn't take him

1885
01:30:39,920 --> 01:30:42,400
Speaker 1: out completely, he's not gonna have eighteen catches, no, you know,

1886
01:30:42,560 --> 01:30:43,960
Speaker 1: I mean he's going to be less than what his

1887
01:30:44,040 --> 01:30:47,400
Speaker 1: normal role would be for sure. Jordan Poyer our guests

1888
01:30:47,400 --> 01:30:49,439
Speaker 1: Bills a safety. I got a question for you about

1889
01:30:49,439 --> 01:30:53,280
Speaker 1: the turnaround in this defense, Jordan. What what happened the

1890
01:30:53,320 --> 01:30:56,640
Speaker 1: first six quarters game and a half, Bills give up

1891
01:30:56,640 --> 01:30:59,760
Speaker 1: seventy five points ten touchdowns the last six quarters since

1892
01:30:59,760 --> 01:31:02,600
Speaker 1: half time against the Chargers giving up one touchdown in

1893
01:31:02,720 --> 01:31:08,479
Speaker 1: nine points. That's that's amazing. What change? You know, It's

1894
01:31:08,560 --> 01:31:11,479
Speaker 1: it's tough to say, really because I don't think really

1895
01:31:11,479 --> 01:31:14,360
Speaker 1: anything changed. I think we were just we just started

1896
01:31:14,360 --> 01:31:16,920
Speaker 1: to feel ourselves as a defense a little bit more

1897
01:31:17,000 --> 01:31:19,960
Speaker 1: like feel the confidence and feel the trust and the

1898
01:31:20,000 --> 01:31:22,280
Speaker 1: brotherhood within the guys around us. And you know, it's

1899
01:31:22,280 --> 01:31:25,880
Speaker 1: still continuing to build. But you know, I think coming

1900
01:31:25,880 --> 01:31:29,080
Speaker 1: out there in the second half of the Chargers game,

1901
01:31:29,160 --> 01:31:31,640
Speaker 1: we had a little momentum, We found some and then

1902
01:31:31,680 --> 01:31:33,639
Speaker 1: we found something that carried over to the Minnesota game,

1903
01:31:33,640 --> 01:31:35,960
Speaker 1: and so we wanted to continue to continue to take

1904
01:31:35,960 --> 01:31:38,120
Speaker 1: that momentum and continue to use that and continue to

1905
01:31:38,120 --> 01:31:39,960
Speaker 1: build that trust in that bottom with the guys so

1906
01:31:40,000 --> 01:31:42,479
Speaker 1: that we can play fast on Sundays. How awesome was

1907
01:31:42,479 --> 01:31:44,439
Speaker 1: it last week? And what a difference it was from

1908
01:31:44,439 --> 01:31:47,000
Speaker 1: the first two weeks when your offense went out, put

1909
01:31:47,000 --> 01:31:49,160
Speaker 1: together long drive, got you an early lead, and then

1910
01:31:49,160 --> 01:31:50,600
Speaker 1: you got to turnover and they got it and all

1911
01:31:50,640 --> 01:31:52,640
Speaker 1: of a sudden you're up a couple of scores, and

1912
01:31:53,560 --> 01:31:55,559
Speaker 1: very different from the first two weeks. Oh man. I

1913
01:31:55,560 --> 01:31:57,759
Speaker 1: mean when you're we were talking about on the sideline,

1914
01:31:57,800 --> 01:32:00,519
Speaker 1: Holy coy, when your offense is able to continue to

1915
01:32:00,520 --> 01:32:02,920
Speaker 1: move the chains and and you're not having you're sitting

1916
01:32:02,920 --> 01:32:05,519
Speaker 1: on the scoring their first five drops. That just drinking

1917
01:32:05,640 --> 01:32:08,960
Speaker 1: some drinkings some gatorade. You know, I think, uh, it's awesome.

1918
01:32:09,000 --> 01:32:10,640
Speaker 1: You know, you played complimentary football. That's how you win

1919
01:32:10,680 --> 01:32:13,200
Speaker 1: football games in National Football League. So um, you know,

1920
01:32:13,200 --> 01:32:15,040
Speaker 1: I think our offense did a great job and hopefully

1921
01:32:15,120 --> 01:32:17,840
Speaker 1: that we as a team can continue to do that.

1922
01:32:18,000 --> 01:32:20,639
Speaker 1: Takeaways were huge last week. Obviously set up some short

1923
01:32:20,680 --> 01:32:23,840
Speaker 1: fields and that's really the formula the Bills defense had

1924
01:32:23,880 --> 01:32:26,000
Speaker 1: last year early on especially right take the ball away

1925
01:32:26,000 --> 01:32:27,920
Speaker 1: and things drop. You know, follow your way. I think

1926
01:32:28,200 --> 01:32:30,320
Speaker 1: they said if you if you're plus three in the

1927
01:32:30,400 --> 01:32:34,840
Speaker 1: turnover um ratio, you have a ninety percent chance of

1928
01:32:34,840 --> 01:32:38,080
Speaker 1: winning the football game. So um, I said, anytime you're

1929
01:32:38,080 --> 01:32:40,919
Speaker 1: able to take the football away man, and especially especially

1930
01:32:41,040 --> 01:32:44,240
Speaker 1: you know, give your offense good field position. Um, you know,

1931
01:32:44,280 --> 01:32:47,719
Speaker 1: it's huge, huge for our defense or huge for our team. Yeah, Jordan,

1932
01:32:47,760 --> 01:32:49,960
Speaker 1: have you ever played at lambau Field. I played a

1933
01:32:49,960 --> 01:32:52,599
Speaker 1: preseason game there. I actually played against Micah. He had

1934
01:32:52,600 --> 01:32:55,400
Speaker 1: a pick, I remember, But uh, now that was that

1935
01:32:55,479 --> 01:32:58,320
Speaker 1: was just the preseason game. I'm fired up to go

1936
01:32:58,320 --> 01:33:00,599
Speaker 1: out there and see what it's really like. On on Sunday,

1937
01:33:00,640 --> 01:33:02,840
Speaker 1: Steve and I have like an ongoing it's not a

1938
01:33:02,880 --> 01:33:07,160
Speaker 1: debate yet. I just said, it's not sacred ground out there, right,

1939
01:33:07,200 --> 01:33:10,200
Speaker 1: I mean, let's not get carried away. It's a nice, iconic,

1940
01:33:10,320 --> 01:33:12,840
Speaker 1: historic place where a lot of famous games have been played,

1941
01:33:12,880 --> 01:33:15,880
Speaker 1: for sure, But that's not sacred, hallowed ground or anything.

1942
01:33:16,240 --> 01:33:18,320
Speaker 1: Tell me that. I don't think so, But you know

1943
01:33:18,400 --> 01:33:20,519
Speaker 1: it is. It is very historic. Yes, Like I said,

1944
01:33:20,520 --> 01:33:23,160
Speaker 1: it's gonna be exciting to go in there and um

1945
01:33:23,240 --> 01:33:24,720
Speaker 1: and play, you know, in front of the fans. You

1946
01:33:24,760 --> 01:33:26,680
Speaker 1: know they're gonna be rowdy, so it's gonna be it's

1947
01:33:26,680 --> 01:33:29,679
Speaker 1: gonna be fun. Yeah, I'm not saying sacred. I'm saying special.

1948
01:33:29,760 --> 01:33:31,720
Speaker 1: It is special. I don't know how rowdy they are.

1949
01:33:31,760 --> 01:33:34,240
Speaker 1: I told see last time the Bills played there, busses

1950
01:33:34,240 --> 01:33:37,719
Speaker 1: are driving out and the fans are all waving friendly.

1951
01:33:37,800 --> 01:33:40,880
Speaker 1: They're a little too friendly. I think they're a little

1952
01:33:40,880 --> 01:33:43,920
Speaker 1: too polite. It may be just me. This guy got

1953
01:33:43,920 --> 01:33:46,640
Speaker 1: thrown out of his games. Not so much. They're not

1954
01:33:46,680 --> 01:33:50,160
Speaker 1: too polite. Last NFL game fans are I gotta tell

1958
01:34:01,160 --> 01:34:04,719
Speaker 1: I'm thrown out. Well for what I didn't do anything.

1959
01:34:05,680 --> 01:34:11,080
Speaker 1: I did absolutely nothing to total miss Jordan. Thanks for

1982
01:35:25,720 --> 01:35:28,200
Speaker 1: moved yesterday for the Bills. They signed freege an offensive

1983
01:35:28,200 --> 01:35:31,800
Speaker 1: lineman Jeremiah Searles, most recently with the Carolina Panthers. He

1984
01:35:31,920 --> 01:35:34,160
Speaker 1: was put on injured reserve on the final cutdown there

1985
01:35:34,400 --> 01:35:37,320
Speaker 1: and the Bills to make room traded away Marshall Newhouse

1986
01:35:37,360 --> 01:35:40,120
Speaker 1: offensive lineman did the Carolina Panthers for a future conditional

1987
01:35:40,200 --> 01:35:43,559
Speaker 1: draft choice. Packers have injury issues. Mike McCarthy says he

1988
01:35:43,640 --> 01:35:46,559
Speaker 1: doesn't know if Aaron Rodgers will practice any earlier this week.

1989
01:35:46,800 --> 01:35:48,759
Speaker 1: Then he has the last two weeks with his knee

1990
01:35:48,760 --> 01:35:51,000
Speaker 1: injury in nice brain. He only worked on the field

1991
01:35:51,000 --> 01:35:53,439
Speaker 1: on Saturday last week, and McCarthy says that's probably going

1992
01:35:53,520 --> 01:35:56,200
Speaker 1: to be the situation this week as well. Packers outside

1993
01:35:56,240 --> 01:36:00,120
Speaker 1: linebacker Nick Perry still in concussion protocol, cornerback Kevin King

1994
01:36:00,240 --> 01:36:03,000
Speaker 1: is still on the sidelines rehabbing, and the Packers are

1995
01:36:03,000 --> 01:36:05,559
Speaker 1: getting ready to start Byron Bell at right guard against

1996
01:36:05,560 --> 01:36:08,679
Speaker 1: the Bills on Sunday. With Justin McCrae having a shoulder injury,

1997
01:36:08,920 --> 01:36:12,280
Speaker 1: Packers made an addition to their secondary yesterday, signing quarterback

1998
01:36:12,320 --> 01:36:14,960
Speaker 1: Machean Breland to the roster and spot of injured veteran

1999
01:36:15,040 --> 01:36:18,879
Speaker 1: Devana Hollis. The announcement came early today. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

2000
01:36:18,880 --> 01:36:20,559
Speaker 1: still don't know who's going to start a quarterback for

2001
01:36:20,640 --> 01:36:23,439
Speaker 1: them this week they get set to play the Chicago Bears.

2002
01:36:23,840 --> 01:36:26,559
Speaker 1: Last night, the Dirk Cutter, the coach of the Bucks,

2003
01:36:26,560 --> 01:36:30,040
Speaker 1: met with Ryan Fitzpatrick and Jameis Winston. Winston now eligible

2004
01:36:30,080 --> 01:36:32,479
Speaker 1: to return, and he would not tell the media yet

2005
01:36:32,600 --> 01:36:34,840
Speaker 1: who is what is planning is for the starter and

2006
01:36:35,000 --> 01:36:37,559
Speaker 1: the Sabers on the road in Pittsburgh tonight for another

2007
01:36:37,840 --> 01:36:40,439
Speaker 1: preseason game. Last night, the Sabers lost to Columbus four

2008
01:36:40,479 --> 01:36:43,160
Speaker 1: to two outside U Tokay in a preseason game. That's

2009
01:36:43,160 --> 01:36:46,280
Speaker 1: the update from One Bill's Drive, John Murphy and Steve

2010
01:36:46,320 --> 01:36:49,040
Speaker 1: Tasker coming to you live from our one Buffalo studio.

2011
01:36:49,400 --> 01:36:50,760
Speaker 1: What are we gonna tell me? Can you tell me

2012
01:36:50,800 --> 01:36:53,680
Speaker 1: on the air? You're you what were we talking about?

2013
01:36:53,400 --> 01:36:55,840
Speaker 1: I don't, I don't remember. But you can't do that

2014
01:36:55,880 --> 01:36:58,719
Speaker 1: to people. I'm coming back, getting ready to do the update.

2015
01:36:59,040 --> 01:37:01,680
Speaker 1: People are to you. Your def says, let me tell

2016
01:37:01,680 --> 01:37:03,840
Speaker 1: you something, and I said, and then then what we

2017
01:37:03,920 --> 01:37:06,880
Speaker 1: had to go on there and came on. He's had

2018
01:37:06,920 --> 01:37:08,680
Speaker 1: something important to tell me. You can't tell it. I

2019
01:37:08,680 --> 01:37:11,559
Speaker 1: can't remember what subject we were talking about, let alone

2020
01:37:12,200 --> 01:37:14,559
Speaker 1: you can't either. It was totally irrelevant. It looked like

2021
01:37:14,560 --> 01:37:16,040
Speaker 1: it was going to be kind of important, and then

2022
01:37:16,080 --> 01:37:18,200
Speaker 1: you just have that ability to make it look like

2023
01:37:18,200 --> 01:37:20,360
Speaker 1: it was going to be important when I can't say, hey,

2024
01:37:20,360 --> 01:37:22,080
Speaker 1: I got something to tell you, and then just let

2025
01:37:22,080 --> 01:37:23,800
Speaker 1: me tell you, let me tell you this, and then

2026
01:37:23,880 --> 01:37:26,960
Speaker 1: that's what you said. Exactly how it went. I can't

2027
01:37:26,960 --> 01:37:29,920
Speaker 1: even remember what it was because while you're doing the update,

2028
01:37:29,960 --> 01:37:33,280
Speaker 1: I'm going through the show and i'd think about other things.

2029
01:37:33,680 --> 01:37:36,519
Speaker 1: Practice ends for the Bills. About fifteen twenty minutes ago.

2030
01:37:36,560 --> 01:37:39,000
Speaker 1: You just heard Jordan Poyter. He's an impressive young man, Steve,

2031
01:37:39,240 --> 01:37:40,800
Speaker 1: he really is, you know. I hope we get a

2032
01:37:40,840 --> 01:37:42,880
Speaker 1: chance to talk to Micah Hyde this week as he

2033
01:37:42,920 --> 01:37:45,360
Speaker 1: gets ready for his return to Green Bay, where he

2034
01:37:45,400 --> 01:37:47,599
Speaker 1: played the first four years of his career. Those two,

2035
01:37:47,640 --> 01:37:49,600
Speaker 1: you know, it was interesting to Jordan said something I

2036
01:37:49,600 --> 01:37:53,320
Speaker 1: should have followed up on about how disguising coverage was

2037
01:37:53,320 --> 01:37:56,120
Speaker 1: so important this week against Aaron Rodgers, and I was

2038
01:37:56,160 --> 01:37:58,240
Speaker 1: thinking back Brownie talking about this the other day about

2039
01:37:58,240 --> 01:38:00,439
Speaker 1: the Bill Belichick quote from last year where the Bills

2040
01:38:00,439 --> 01:38:03,920
Speaker 1: played the Patriots. Belichick made notice and say, and Belichick

2041
01:38:04,000 --> 01:38:06,360
Speaker 1: doesn't say this very often, but he said those two

2042
01:38:06,520 --> 01:38:10,639
Speaker 1: Poyer and hide disguise coverages later and better than any

2043
01:38:10,680 --> 01:38:14,439
Speaker 1: pair of safeties, and they hold their water safety duo

2044
01:38:14,520 --> 01:38:16,519
Speaker 1: in the league. And Jordan just said, you know, that's

2045
01:38:16,520 --> 01:38:18,639
Speaker 1: what you got to do that, Aaron Rodgers. And we've

2046
01:38:18,680 --> 01:38:20,600
Speaker 1: also said too that we heard somebody on the on

2047
01:38:20,640 --> 01:38:22,960
Speaker 1: the show earlier today say that, you know, as far

2048
01:38:23,000 --> 01:38:27,120
Speaker 1: as his recognition of being, you know, Roger's ability to

2049
01:38:28,200 --> 01:38:32,680
Speaker 1: diagnose and get a read pre snap is really unparalleled,

2050
01:38:32,720 --> 01:38:35,920
Speaker 1: which is why power and Hide are so important to

2051
01:38:35,960 --> 01:38:38,519
Speaker 1: this defense. They can't let Aaron Rodgers get a tip

2052
01:38:38,520 --> 01:38:40,840
Speaker 1: on where they're going to be, so at least one

2053
01:38:40,880 --> 01:38:45,000
Speaker 1: of them on any given play from what is so

2054
01:38:45,040 --> 01:38:47,400
Speaker 1: far out of position from where the defense is going

2055
01:38:47,439 --> 01:38:50,400
Speaker 1: to be shown where he's supposed to be. The quarterback

2056
01:38:50,520 --> 01:38:53,719
Speaker 1: is prevented from understanding exactly what the coverage is because

2057
01:38:53,760 --> 01:38:56,280
Speaker 1: one of those two guys knows he can be someplace

2058
01:38:56,640 --> 01:39:00,759
Speaker 1: completely wrong for the defense that's actually called and still

2059
01:39:00,800 --> 01:39:02,880
Speaker 1: get to his spot once the snap is done. And

2060
01:39:02,920 --> 01:39:06,240
Speaker 1: that that does a lot towards, you know, keeping a

2061
01:39:06,320 --> 01:39:08,360
Speaker 1: quarterback from knowing what you're doing before you show it.

2062
01:39:08,400 --> 01:39:11,920
Speaker 1: They're good there, that's what I heard. They're good Yeah,

2063
01:39:12,640 --> 01:39:14,599
Speaker 1: they seem to be. They're really good. Hey, we got

2064
01:39:14,600 --> 01:39:17,200
Speaker 1: an interesting Steve thinks it's a really good Twitter poll,

2065
01:39:17,520 --> 01:39:20,919
Speaker 1: and you do, and I think it's okay too. It's

2066
01:39:20,920 --> 01:39:23,400
Speaker 1: about the Buffalo offense, not the Buffalo defense. What's the

2067
01:39:23,439 --> 01:39:26,439
Speaker 1: next step for the Buffalo Bills offense, including this week

2068
01:39:26,720 --> 01:39:29,519
Speaker 1: against the Green Bay Packers? What they've had success now

2069
01:39:29,560 --> 01:39:32,120
Speaker 1: for a game and a half, especially last week, But

2070
01:39:32,160 --> 01:39:34,280
Speaker 1: what's the next step for the Bills offense? What do

2071
01:39:34,320 --> 01:39:36,800
Speaker 1: you think? On Twitter? Thirty six percent of you say

2072
01:39:36,800 --> 01:39:39,839
Speaker 1: the next step is for them to sustain offensive drives.

2073
01:39:39,840 --> 01:39:41,920
Speaker 1: Thirty seven percent say get the running game going with

2074
01:39:42,000 --> 01:39:45,439
Speaker 1: Lashawan McCoy, Twenty five percent say get wide receivers involved,

2075
01:39:45,479 --> 01:39:47,920
Speaker 1: three percent say something else. Let's hear from you. Give

2076
01:39:48,000 --> 01:39:50,320
Speaker 1: us a call eight oh three fifty toll free one

2077
01:39:50,439 --> 01:39:53,120
Speaker 1: eight eight eight five fifty two five fifty. What's the

2078
01:39:53,160 --> 01:39:55,400
Speaker 1: next step for the Buffalo Bills offense? We haven't had

2079
01:39:55,400 --> 01:39:56,920
Speaker 1: many calls on this, but a lot of tweets on

2080
01:39:56,960 --> 01:39:59,519
Speaker 1: this stave. Yeah, and from our old friend Tiffany Daniels.

2081
01:39:59,520 --> 01:40:02,599
Speaker 1: Extending drives and time of possession are important to keys,

2082
01:40:02,960 --> 01:40:06,280
Speaker 1: are important keys to success. It's critical or crucial to

2083
01:40:06,360 --> 01:40:09,360
Speaker 1: keep drives alive, giving the defense time to rest and

2084
01:40:09,439 --> 01:40:12,000
Speaker 1: keeping them fresh for the fourth quarter and finish off opponents.

2085
01:40:12,000 --> 01:40:15,520
Speaker 1: It also helps build the confidence of a young quarterback

2086
01:40:15,640 --> 01:40:18,760
Speaker 1: moving forward. And there there's a lot right about that.

2087
01:40:18,800 --> 01:40:21,920
Speaker 1: And we've said earlier in the show too. Keeping drives

2088
01:40:21,920 --> 01:40:25,120
Speaker 1: and sustained offensive drives keeps Aaron Rodgers off the field. Yeah,

2089
01:40:25,160 --> 01:40:28,120
Speaker 1: so it's not only do you build Josh Allen's confidence,

2090
01:40:28,160 --> 01:40:31,639
Speaker 1: you also keep Aaron Rodgers from beating you. This tweet

2091
01:40:31,720 --> 01:40:34,599
Speaker 1: is interesting from Andrew North and he says, and answer

2092
01:40:34,600 --> 01:40:36,920
Speaker 1: to this question the next step. Andrew North says, if

2093
01:40:36,920 --> 01:40:39,200
Speaker 1: Benjamin Kelvin Benjamin is going to be labeled as your

2094
01:40:39,240 --> 01:40:41,439
Speaker 1: number one wide receiver, you need to figure out a

2095
01:40:41,479 --> 01:40:44,040
Speaker 1: way to utilize him more. But on his party needs

2096
01:40:44,040 --> 01:40:46,719
Speaker 1: to be better with ball control. Josh Allen is putting

2097
01:40:46,760 --> 01:40:48,360
Speaker 1: it right on the numbers. He needs to catch that

2098
01:40:48,479 --> 01:40:52,320
Speaker 1: ball and make the play. I agree with you, Andrew North.

2099
01:40:52,600 --> 01:40:54,799
Speaker 1: I will say I don't get hung up on labeling

2100
01:40:54,800 --> 01:40:56,439
Speaker 1: the number one receiver. You doesn't have a number one

2101
01:40:56,479 --> 01:40:58,920
Speaker 1: on his chest. He's got a number thirteen. And what

2102
01:40:59,000 --> 01:41:01,800
Speaker 1: I'm trying to say here is is he the number one?

2103
01:41:02,040 --> 01:41:04,080
Speaker 1: I guess why, because he's been in the league longer

2104
01:41:04,080 --> 01:41:06,519
Speaker 1: than anybody else. Okay, it doesn't matter to me who

2105
01:41:06,560 --> 01:41:08,719
Speaker 1: we think, who I think, who you think. It doesn't

2106
01:41:08,760 --> 01:41:11,120
Speaker 1: matter who we think is the number one wide receiver

2107
01:41:11,200 --> 01:41:13,360
Speaker 1: on this roster. Somebody's got to step up and make

2108
01:41:13,400 --> 01:41:15,120
Speaker 1: the play. What do we say, fifty percent of the

2109
01:41:15,320 --> 01:41:17,880
Speaker 1: fifty four percent of their past completions, fifty percent of

2110
01:41:17,920 --> 01:41:20,479
Speaker 1: their attempts have gone to wide receivers from Josh Allen,

2111
01:41:20,560 --> 01:41:23,360
Speaker 1: the lowest market or twenty ninth mark in the league

2112
01:41:23,400 --> 01:41:26,559
Speaker 1: so far, somebody's got to step up, Yes, Calvin Benjamin.

2113
01:41:26,600 --> 01:41:28,880
Speaker 1: And when we had Brownie on for practice and you

2114
01:41:28,880 --> 01:41:31,599
Speaker 1: guys are talking about Robert Fosson, about Ray Ray McLoud, Sure,

2115
01:41:31,880 --> 01:41:34,240
Speaker 1: step up, go ahead, go to the head of the class,

2116
01:41:34,360 --> 01:41:37,559
Speaker 1: make your play. But Calvin Benjamin's got to step up too.

2117
01:41:37,600 --> 01:41:40,040
Speaker 1: Whether he's the number one wide receiver or the number

2118
01:41:40,160 --> 01:41:42,680
Speaker 1: five wide receiver, somebody's got to step up out of

2119
01:41:42,720 --> 01:41:45,320
Speaker 1: that group. Make the catches, make the plays, get separation

2120
01:41:45,360 --> 01:41:47,639
Speaker 1: a consistent basis that has not happened through the first

2121
01:41:47,640 --> 01:41:49,439
Speaker 1: three games. When we were having the debate in the

2122
01:41:49,479 --> 01:41:52,280
Speaker 1: offseason about the Tyrod Taylor and the new quarterback and

2123
01:41:52,320 --> 01:41:54,799
Speaker 1: what it was going to happen, and how good Tyrod

2124
01:41:54,960 --> 01:41:58,519
Speaker 1: could have, should have would have been with great wide

2125
01:41:58,520 --> 01:42:01,120
Speaker 1: receiving corps. I always may this point that it is

2126
01:42:01,160 --> 01:42:04,759
Speaker 1: the quarterback that makes the wide receiver, and I still

2127
01:42:04,760 --> 01:42:08,679
Speaker 1: maintain that. But here's the thing. When a wide receiver

2128
01:42:08,760 --> 01:42:11,120
Speaker 1: gets the opportunity, he's got to catch it. Yeah, he's

2129
01:42:11,160 --> 01:42:14,280
Speaker 1: got to get separation. Your wide receiver becomes great when

2130
01:42:14,320 --> 01:42:17,439
Speaker 1: he takes advantage of the opportunities he gets from the quarterback,

2131
01:42:17,479 --> 01:42:20,120
Speaker 1: from the offensive coordinator, from his position on the field.

2132
01:42:20,760 --> 01:42:22,679
Speaker 1: When you get a chance to catch it, you gotta

2133
01:42:22,720 --> 01:42:25,080
Speaker 1: catch it. And there's too many drops going on for

2134
01:42:25,120 --> 01:42:30,360
Speaker 1: the Bills. Kelvin Benjamin got some targets early in that game,

2135
01:42:30,400 --> 01:42:31,680
Speaker 1: and then they went away from him for a bit,

2136
01:42:31,720 --> 01:42:33,240
Speaker 1: and then he came back later in the second half

2137
01:42:33,240 --> 01:42:35,439
Speaker 1: and got him a couple of crucial first downs on

2138
01:42:35,560 --> 01:42:38,360
Speaker 1: third and sixes and third and sevens. He got past

2139
01:42:38,439 --> 01:42:41,479
Speaker 1: the sticks and Alan hit him with the pass. But

2140
01:42:41,600 --> 01:42:46,040
Speaker 1: I'm with you, Murph. Whatever wide receiver gets the opportunity,

2141
01:42:46,640 --> 01:42:49,280
Speaker 1: they're really going to help the entire team out by

2142
01:42:49,320 --> 01:42:52,679
Speaker 1: making their young quarterback look good. Yeah, that's the idea

2143
01:42:52,800 --> 01:42:55,519
Speaker 1: right now, Josh Allen has done some really nice things,

2144
01:42:55,600 --> 01:42:58,719
Speaker 1: no question about it, but he's still at the point

2145
01:42:58,760 --> 01:43:00,800
Speaker 1: where he needs guys once in a while to do

2146
01:43:00,880 --> 01:43:03,559
Speaker 1: something special for him. Brian Dayball did it last week

2147
01:43:03,600 --> 01:43:06,840
Speaker 1: with that with that well designed screen pass. Uh. Chris

2148
01:43:06,880 --> 01:43:09,320
Speaker 1: Ivory did it when he kind of mirrored Hims breaking

2149
01:43:09,320 --> 01:43:11,599
Speaker 1: out a contain, made himself available and turned it into

2150
01:43:11,640 --> 01:43:15,599
Speaker 1: a fifty five yard gain. Players are doing that around him,

2151
01:43:15,600 --> 01:43:17,519
Speaker 1: and he needs to come now from the wide receivers.

2152
01:43:17,560 --> 01:43:19,080
Speaker 1: What do you think give us a call? E three

2153
01:43:19,320 --> 01:43:22,639
Speaker 1: fifty toll free one eight eight five fifty two five fifty.

2154
01:43:22,880 --> 01:43:25,000
Speaker 1: What's the next step for the Buffalo Bills on offense?

2155
01:43:25,120 --> 01:43:27,679
Speaker 1: Dan and Kenmore has some ideas on this, Dan, go ahead,

2156
01:43:27,680 --> 01:43:32,080
Speaker 1: you're on the air with this. Hello. I wish their

2157
01:43:32,200 --> 01:43:36,840
Speaker 1: offensive line together because with the offensive line the way

2158
01:43:36,880 --> 01:43:43,280
Speaker 1: it is now, they really first down learn m If

2159
01:43:43,320 --> 01:43:46,880
Speaker 1: they don't get a obviously a decent gain on first sound,

2160
01:43:47,280 --> 01:43:50,519
Speaker 1: it really limits them as far as play calling when

2161
01:43:50,560 --> 01:43:56,479
Speaker 1: you're losing four yards at a back or anything anything

2162
01:43:56,600 --> 01:43:58,080
Speaker 1: like that. Well, when you say, Dan, they got to

2163
01:43:58,120 --> 01:44:00,960
Speaker 1: get their offensive line together, is there anything specifically you're

2164
01:44:01,000 --> 01:44:10,559
Speaker 1: referring to? What Pat? What past protection. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Okay,

2165
01:44:10,840 --> 01:44:13,760
Speaker 1: they they've they've given up a lot of sacks, that's true.

2166
01:44:14,240 --> 01:44:16,360
Speaker 1: I think the offensive line took the step forward last

2167
01:44:16,360 --> 01:44:19,519
Speaker 1: Sunday in Minnesota. Whether it was you know, replacing the

2168
01:44:19,600 --> 01:44:23,000
Speaker 1: center or not, something worked and worked pretty well last week.

2169
01:44:23,040 --> 01:44:25,920
Speaker 1: I think in Minnesota they're not there yet. They're not perfect,

2170
01:44:26,320 --> 01:44:29,120
Speaker 1: and I guess I look at the real problem or

2171
01:44:29,200 --> 01:44:31,880
Speaker 1: the real area of improvement still out there for the

2172
01:44:31,960 --> 01:44:34,320
Speaker 1: Bills offensive line is the run game. You know they

2173
01:44:34,400 --> 01:44:36,439
Speaker 1: need to block for the run better. Steve. Yeah, they

2174
01:44:36,479 --> 01:44:39,200
Speaker 1: gave up three sacks last week. Yeah, that's not too many.

2175
01:44:39,360 --> 01:44:42,920
Speaker 1: I mean they gave up six in Week two and

2176
01:44:43,720 --> 01:44:46,080
Speaker 1: five in week two, six in week one when they

2177
01:44:46,120 --> 01:44:49,400
Speaker 1: got beat by Baltimore, and some of those were avoided

2178
01:44:49,479 --> 01:44:51,920
Speaker 1: by Josh Allen where he's avoiding pressure and stuff. But

2179
01:44:52,040 --> 01:44:55,160
Speaker 1: three sacks, Yeah, you want to give up zero sacks.

2180
01:44:55,880 --> 01:44:58,519
Speaker 1: But it's it was an improvement this last week. I

2181
01:44:58,560 --> 01:45:00,479
Speaker 1: think we all saw that, no question, they can play

2182
01:45:00,520 --> 01:45:02,960
Speaker 1: better than they did. Bodine came out of the game late,

2183
01:45:03,080 --> 01:45:05,920
Speaker 1: Groy went back in and a game that was you know,

2184
01:45:06,080 --> 01:45:09,559
Speaker 1: was over by that time. But you know, caller Dan

2185
01:45:09,680 --> 01:45:11,839
Speaker 1: makes it great. It makes a point. There are issues

2186
01:45:11,880 --> 01:45:13,720
Speaker 1: on this team, no question about it. And like I

2187
01:45:13,760 --> 01:45:16,880
Speaker 1: said earlier, every team's got issue. The Packers may have

2188
01:45:17,000 --> 01:45:20,240
Speaker 1: more offensive line issues than the Buffalo Bills do, but

2189
01:45:20,360 --> 01:45:23,200
Speaker 1: they've got a quarterback that has made a living covering

2190
01:45:23,240 --> 01:45:25,760
Speaker 1: those up and so that other people don't really even

2191
01:45:25,840 --> 01:45:27,840
Speaker 1: notice it. He gets rid of the football, he gets

2192
01:45:27,920 --> 01:45:30,360
Speaker 1: him in and out of plays, he gets the maximum

2193
01:45:30,479 --> 01:45:32,360
Speaker 1: number of guys into the pattern that he can still

2194
01:45:32,439 --> 01:45:35,600
Speaker 1: is protected. Yeah, Aaron Rodgers covers up a lot of that.

2195
01:45:35,920 --> 01:45:38,120
Speaker 1: I don't know that Josh Allen's there yet, but he

2196
01:45:38,200 --> 01:45:40,680
Speaker 1: certainly made up for a couple of things last week

2197
01:45:40,720 --> 01:45:43,240
Speaker 1: when he ran for a touchdown, moved out of the

2198
01:45:43,280 --> 01:45:45,800
Speaker 1: pocket a couple of times, hurdled a guy you know,

2199
01:45:46,240 --> 01:45:48,720
Speaker 1: just play that everybody in the NFL's talking about. So

2200
01:45:49,080 --> 01:45:50,880
Speaker 1: he's doing a little bit of that too. I don't

2201
01:45:50,920 --> 01:45:52,320
Speaker 1: know that he's the We can't put him at the

2202
01:45:52,400 --> 01:45:55,840
Speaker 1: level of Aaron Rodgers yet, but certainly he did a

2203
01:45:55,920 --> 01:45:57,840
Speaker 1: better job of it in this week three win in

2204
01:45:57,920 --> 01:46:00,320
Speaker 1: Minnesota than either he or Nathan peter And did in

2205
01:46:00,400 --> 01:46:03,360
Speaker 1: weeks one and two. Let's take a call from Ken

2206
01:46:03,560 --> 01:46:05,519
Speaker 1: in Buffalo. Hello, Ken, Welcome to the show. You're on

2207
01:46:05,560 --> 01:46:09,400
Speaker 1: the air with this. Hey, thank you guys for having me. Um,

2208
01:46:09,920 --> 01:46:13,080
Speaker 1: that's when I talk about you guys are always obviously

2209
01:46:13,120 --> 01:46:15,759
Speaker 1: I hope also the McCoy is good to go this weekend.

2210
01:46:16,760 --> 01:46:20,640
Speaker 1: But I think when we solely focus on getting him

2211
01:46:20,680 --> 01:46:22,519
Speaker 1: the ball and spending so much time on trying to

2212
01:46:22,520 --> 01:46:26,120
Speaker 1: get him the ball, the defense they plan for that

2213
01:46:26,240 --> 01:46:28,760
Speaker 1: and they pretty much kind of make him avoid when

2214
01:46:28,840 --> 01:46:32,599
Speaker 1: it comes to getting him the ball, and I don't

2215
01:46:32,640 --> 01:46:35,640
Speaker 1: see him doing much. So let me stop you there.

2216
01:46:35,640 --> 01:46:38,120
Speaker 1: How do you account for a thousand yards rushing last year?

2217
01:46:40,560 --> 01:46:43,599
Speaker 1: But I mean, he doesn't do much he got I'm sorry,

2218
01:46:43,600 --> 01:46:47,880
Speaker 1: go ahead, I'll let you talk. But when he's out

2219
01:46:47,920 --> 01:46:51,080
Speaker 1: of the game or not as much as a role,

2220
01:46:52,400 --> 01:46:55,599
Speaker 1: they since we don't have all the playmakers that other

2221
01:46:55,680 --> 01:46:59,840
Speaker 1: teams have, the defense can't really plan on just one

2222
01:47:00,080 --> 01:47:03,360
Speaker 1: guy that we would hope to do the most for

2223
01:47:03,600 --> 01:47:06,000
Speaker 1: our offense. Yeah, I know, I think. I know what

2224
01:47:06,040 --> 01:47:08,040
Speaker 1: you're saying, Ken, and I understand what you're saying, and

2225
01:47:08,240 --> 01:47:10,360
Speaker 1: there is a benefit to getting other people involved. But

2226
01:47:11,040 --> 01:47:13,839
Speaker 1: for two years, the last two years now, Bill's opponents

2227
01:47:13,880 --> 01:47:16,280
Speaker 1: have known that shitty McCoy is the focus of their offense.

2228
01:47:16,560 --> 01:47:18,760
Speaker 1: You got eleven hundred yards last year, rushing in twelve

2229
01:47:18,880 --> 01:47:21,840
Speaker 1: hundred yards the year before that, So what does that

2230
01:47:21,920 --> 01:47:23,479
Speaker 1: tell you? He's pretty good? Whether or not you know

2231
01:47:23,560 --> 01:47:26,080
Speaker 1: he's coming, he's pretty good. That's that's my answer. I

2232
01:47:26,240 --> 01:47:27,760
Speaker 1: get it too, And we I think we had we

2233
01:47:27,880 --> 01:47:30,920
Speaker 1: call her on this earlier. Who didn't make the He

2234
01:47:31,000 --> 01:47:33,759
Speaker 1: didn't make his point as well as Ken did. Leshawn

2235
01:47:33,920 --> 01:47:36,519
Speaker 1: out of the lineup kind of forced the defense to

2236
01:47:36,560 --> 01:47:39,320
Speaker 1: play completely honest and and they kind of open it

2237
01:47:39,400 --> 01:47:43,360
Speaker 1: up a little bit for Yeah, for Chris Ivory. If

2238
01:47:43,400 --> 01:47:45,200
Speaker 1: they're not going to treat Chris Ivory with the same

2239
01:47:45,240 --> 01:47:48,000
Speaker 1: respect they treat Leshawn McCoy too, that makes it that

2240
01:47:48,120 --> 01:47:50,400
Speaker 1: much easy for the running game and the offensive line

2241
01:47:50,439 --> 01:47:52,120
Speaker 1: to play a little better in the run game because

2242
01:47:52,160 --> 01:47:55,160
Speaker 1: the defense isn't thinking that Chris Ivory's going to get

2243
01:47:55,160 --> 01:47:59,240
Speaker 1: as many opportunities as Leshaun McCoy would in a normal game.

2244
01:47:59,320 --> 01:48:03,080
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's the case very much. I

2245
01:48:03,120 --> 01:48:04,920
Speaker 1: don't know if it was the case against Minnesota. You'd

2246
01:48:04,920 --> 01:48:07,680
Speaker 1: have to ask their defensive coordinator, their players. But there

2247
01:48:07,800 --> 01:48:11,200
Speaker 1: is something to be said for not having anybody to

2248
01:48:11,280 --> 01:48:14,120
Speaker 1: worry about. But I think Minnesota fell into the traps

2249
01:48:14,240 --> 01:48:17,679
Speaker 1: was they didn't worry about any enough. They showed up flat.

2250
01:48:18,240 --> 01:48:20,760
Speaker 1: You know, they just they didn't think Buffalo could put

2251
01:48:20,840 --> 01:48:23,800
Speaker 1: together the kind of effort that Buffalo did, and they

2252
01:48:23,880 --> 01:48:26,840
Speaker 1: got punched in the mouth early and couldn't get up.

2253
01:48:27,240 --> 01:48:29,840
Speaker 1: And you know, credit to Buffalo for being for doing

2254
01:48:29,880 --> 01:48:33,200
Speaker 1: it and not letting up on it defensively or offensively

2255
01:48:33,240 --> 01:48:34,680
Speaker 1: until that game was out of reach. And then the

2256
01:48:34,720 --> 01:48:36,559
Speaker 1: coaches kind of took over and said, Okay, we're gonna,

2257
01:48:36,720 --> 01:48:39,200
Speaker 1: we're gonna. You know, they took their foot off the

2258
01:48:39,240 --> 01:48:42,880
Speaker 1: gas in their play calling, but the players didn't. And

2259
01:48:44,120 --> 01:48:46,320
Speaker 1: I think, you know, for what you said, Ken, the

2260
01:48:46,360 --> 01:48:48,439
Speaker 1: caller just came in. It said it, called in and

2261
01:48:48,520 --> 01:48:51,439
Speaker 1: said made the point that maybe the things were different

2262
01:48:51,439 --> 01:48:54,200
Speaker 1: because Lashawn wasn't in there. The defense viewed our offense differently.

2263
01:48:54,439 --> 01:48:57,000
Speaker 1: Whatever their view was in Minnesota, they had the wrong

2264
01:48:57,080 --> 01:49:01,600
Speaker 1: view because Buffalo took it to them. If Ken was

2265
01:49:01,640 --> 01:49:04,320
Speaker 1: he Rochester, I can't remember. Ken. Yeah, Ken, if his

2266
01:49:04,520 --> 01:49:06,400
Speaker 1: contention is, and I don't believe it is, But if

2267
01:49:06,720 --> 01:49:10,240
Speaker 1: if his contention was, the Bill's offense is better without

2268
01:49:10,360 --> 01:49:14,439
Speaker 1: McCoy no, I think that's foolish again, eleven hundred yards

2269
01:49:14,479 --> 01:49:16,320
Speaker 1: last year, twelve hundred yards a year before it. Right,

2270
01:49:16,400 --> 01:49:18,479
Speaker 1: Is it a different look for opponents? Yes, my dad

2271
01:49:18,520 --> 01:49:22,599
Speaker 1: provide some advantages in spotted games. Yes, if they're much

2272
01:49:22,640 --> 01:49:25,720
Speaker 1: better offense with McCoy than without that, I have no, absolutely, absolutely,

2273
01:49:25,720 --> 01:49:28,599
Speaker 1: And I don't you know who knows. Yeah, like I said,

2274
01:49:28,680 --> 01:49:32,400
Speaker 1: who knows what the how the Vikings viewed Buffalo's offense.

2275
01:49:32,479 --> 01:49:34,720
Speaker 1: But like I said, if there was an advantage, it

2276
01:49:34,800 --> 01:49:39,000
Speaker 1: showed because the Bill's offense looked really good, really good

2277
01:49:39,560 --> 01:49:42,800
Speaker 1: early yeah, early on last week without McCoy. Um, I

2278
01:49:42,880 --> 01:49:44,400
Speaker 1: don't know that they would have looked I don't know

2279
01:49:44,479 --> 01:49:46,280
Speaker 1: if you can convince me they would have looked worse

2280
01:49:46,360 --> 01:49:49,479
Speaker 1: with McCoy healthy on the field. No, I think they

2281
01:49:49,479 --> 01:49:53,080
Speaker 1: would look better. I do too. Trent in Rochester, Hello, Trent,

2282
01:49:53,200 --> 01:49:56,000
Speaker 1: go ahead, you're on the here with us. Hey, guys,

2283
01:49:56,439 --> 01:50:00,439
Speaker 1: Number one, I have to praise your staff behind of scenes,

2284
01:50:00,560 --> 01:50:03,040
Speaker 1: Jay and those guys. No one ever mentions them, but

2285
01:50:03,120 --> 01:50:05,839
Speaker 1: they're doing a great job with these segues and sections

2286
01:50:05,960 --> 01:50:08,280
Speaker 1: and stuff. So I wanted to give them just a

2287
01:50:08,360 --> 01:50:11,280
Speaker 1: shout off for the great job that they're doing. They're

2288
01:50:11,400 --> 01:50:13,760
Speaker 1: plotting for you, they're plotting you in the back room

2289
01:50:13,840 --> 01:50:15,800
Speaker 1: right now. That's all, thank you, Trent. That's great. You're

2290
01:50:15,880 --> 01:50:18,479
Speaker 1: right they do. We have a great staff in the

2291
01:50:18,560 --> 01:50:22,280
Speaker 1: back right and they never get any recognition for it.

2292
01:50:22,360 --> 01:50:23,920
Speaker 1: But I want it. And there's good reason for that too.

2293
01:50:23,960 --> 01:50:25,519
Speaker 1: We don't want them to you know, we every day

2294
01:50:25,560 --> 01:50:27,280
Speaker 1: at the end of the show, I mean every one

2295
01:50:27,360 --> 01:50:29,000
Speaker 1: of the names, we do read their names the end

2296
01:50:29,000 --> 01:50:30,560
Speaker 1: of the show, but beyond that, we don't want to

2297
01:50:30,600 --> 01:50:32,680
Speaker 1: pump them up too much. We gotta you know, you

2298
01:50:32,800 --> 01:50:35,040
Speaker 1: got me there, but it's better coming from a fan.

2299
01:50:35,160 --> 01:50:38,360
Speaker 1: We appreciate the man you guys. But now they answer

2300
01:50:38,360 --> 01:50:42,040
Speaker 1: your Twitter question. Moving forward, Dabo's just got to open

2301
01:50:42,160 --> 01:50:44,679
Speaker 1: up the playbook. You can just see the jobs. Allen

2302
01:50:44,840 --> 01:50:48,200
Speaker 1: is ready for more. He's ready to make more spectacular

2303
01:50:48,280 --> 01:50:52,000
Speaker 1: plays for you. And the creative mind of Brian Dabo

2304
01:50:52,120 --> 01:50:55,400
Speaker 1: was on foot display against Minnesota. So I believe moving

2305
01:50:55,520 --> 01:50:58,519
Speaker 1: forward they just have to do more of that. Of course,

2306
01:50:58,680 --> 01:51:02,559
Speaker 1: keep playing fundamentally sound football, but other than that, I'm

2307
01:51:02,600 --> 01:51:05,439
Speaker 1: excited about what I believe they can do, providing they

2308
01:51:05,520 --> 01:51:08,599
Speaker 1: do open that playbook and let this kid really show

2309
01:51:08,680 --> 01:51:11,320
Speaker 1: what he's got. Man, it's it's just right. So that's

2310
01:51:11,400 --> 01:51:13,800
Speaker 1: my answer to the question. That's interesting because that would

2311
01:51:13,800 --> 01:51:17,040
Speaker 1: have to go into the category of other the small

2312
01:51:17,120 --> 01:51:21,479
Speaker 1: two percent. But yeah, I mean, there's no question Brian

2313
01:51:21,560 --> 01:51:24,200
Speaker 1: Dable deserves a lot of credit for the win in Minnesota.

2314
01:51:24,280 --> 01:51:26,400
Speaker 1: The game plan they came up with, starting with the

2315
01:51:26,439 --> 01:51:29,960
Speaker 1: short passes, the screen passes and uh it's sprinkling in

2316
01:51:30,000 --> 01:51:32,320
Speaker 1: a couple of shots down the football field and using

2317
01:51:32,400 --> 01:51:34,960
Speaker 1: Chris Ivory the way they did deserves a lot of credit.

2318
01:51:35,040 --> 01:51:40,360
Speaker 1: And you know, his contribution I think was hallmarked by

2319
01:51:40,520 --> 01:51:43,840
Speaker 1: that intricate screen pass they ran that turned into a

2320
01:51:43,920 --> 01:51:47,840
Speaker 1: walk in touchdown. That's coaching and he deserves a lot

2321
01:51:47,880 --> 01:51:50,439
Speaker 1: of credit for it. Thanks your calling. We get word

2322
01:51:50,479 --> 01:51:54,880
Speaker 1: from the control room. Thomas Hollander on our message board

2323
01:51:54,920 --> 01:51:58,760
Speaker 1: from the control says best call of the years. I

2324
01:51:58,840 --> 01:52:01,400
Speaker 1: can see why they'd say that, let's go to Danny

2325
01:52:01,439 --> 01:52:03,479
Speaker 1: and Buffalo. Danny, go ahead, you're on the air with us.

2326
01:52:04,040 --> 01:52:06,439
Speaker 1: How you doing, Trent, and how you doing, Ugh, Steve Tasker.

2327
01:52:06,479 --> 01:52:08,479
Speaker 1: It's great to hear you guys so on the air.

2328
01:52:09,400 --> 01:52:12,400
Speaker 1: But I agree with Trent, we need to go ahead

2329
01:52:12,439 --> 01:52:15,320
Speaker 1: and open up some more play callings. And due to

2330
01:52:15,400 --> 01:52:18,040
Speaker 1: the fact that you know, I hate to talk about

2331
01:52:18,080 --> 01:52:21,439
Speaker 1: this guy, Tom Brady. Tom Brady kill us every year

2332
01:52:22,040 --> 01:52:24,640
Speaker 1: going across the middle with Amondola and everything like that.

2333
01:52:25,040 --> 01:52:27,479
Speaker 1: That's one thing that Buffalo does not do. You don't

2334
01:52:27,479 --> 01:52:31,000
Speaker 1: have a slot receiver going across the middle, you know,

2335
01:52:31,640 --> 01:52:33,600
Speaker 1: to open up place so we can be able to

2336
01:52:33,640 --> 01:52:37,920
Speaker 1: go downfield. Yeah, you're right. I mean they got to

2337
01:52:37,960 --> 01:52:40,200
Speaker 1: continue to evolve as an offense, no question about it.

2338
01:52:40,280 --> 01:52:42,720
Speaker 1: And you got to be right. And we've had two

2339
01:52:42,760 --> 01:52:46,400
Speaker 1: callers in a row that agree with it. Josh Allen

2340
01:52:46,479 --> 01:52:48,280
Speaker 1: is gonna have to do more. They're gonna have to

2341
01:52:48,320 --> 01:52:50,560
Speaker 1: put more on his plate. They're gonna and stuff that

2342
01:52:50,680 --> 01:52:52,400
Speaker 1: maybe none of us will be able to see or

2343
01:52:52,479 --> 01:52:54,840
Speaker 1: discern that it's actually more for Josh Allen to do

2344
01:52:55,800 --> 01:52:57,960
Speaker 1: more than just calling a different play in the huddle.

2345
01:52:58,520 --> 01:53:01,760
Speaker 1: But by the same token, everybody on the offense has

2346
01:53:01,760 --> 01:53:03,559
Speaker 1: got to do more. They've got to continue to get better,

2347
01:53:03,640 --> 01:53:05,800
Speaker 1: They've got they do have to do more things in

2348
01:53:05,880 --> 01:53:08,080
Speaker 1: their playbook. But like I also told Murph on the

2349
01:53:08,160 --> 01:53:11,200
Speaker 1: other side of that coin, is one of the things

2350
01:53:11,240 --> 01:53:14,559
Speaker 1: they're gonna do, I think is kind of transform their

2351
01:53:14,600 --> 01:53:16,800
Speaker 1: offense week to week. They're gonna evolve week to week.

2352
01:53:17,479 --> 01:53:19,640
Speaker 1: Some of the play callings and philosophies they use to

2353
01:53:19,720 --> 01:53:23,840
Speaker 1: beat the Minnesota Vikings won't be in play against the

2354
01:53:23,960 --> 01:53:26,680
Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers. In my opinion, I would think. I

2355
01:53:26,800 --> 01:53:29,280
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be a different offensive game plan. They're

2356
01:53:29,320 --> 01:53:33,120
Speaker 1: gonna use different players, They're gonna put guys in different spots.

2357
01:53:33,200 --> 01:53:36,160
Speaker 1: They're gonna call different types of plays, not let alone

2358
01:53:37,080 --> 01:53:41,200
Speaker 1: just screens and hitches and small, you know, shots down

2359
01:53:41,240 --> 01:53:42,960
Speaker 1: the field. They're gonna do some more in the running game.

2360
01:53:42,960 --> 01:53:44,720
Speaker 1: They'll do some more in the passing game. They'll maybe

2361
01:53:44,760 --> 01:53:47,320
Speaker 1: throw the ball over the middle of intermediate routes. Whatever

2362
01:53:47,360 --> 01:53:50,160
Speaker 1: it's gonna be. Josh Allen's got to be able to

2363
01:53:50,200 --> 01:53:52,360
Speaker 1: handle that, and so does the rest of the team,

2364
01:53:52,400 --> 01:53:53,840
Speaker 1: and they've got to execute it as well as they

2365
01:53:53,880 --> 01:53:56,240
Speaker 1: did this past week. And I think that's yeah. I

2366
01:53:56,320 --> 01:53:58,559
Speaker 1: think to me, that's the most interesting thing coming up

2367
01:53:58,600 --> 01:54:02,080
Speaker 1: for this offense is seeing what they think it's gonna

2368
01:54:02,120 --> 01:54:05,000
Speaker 1: take to beat the Packers and can they get it done. Yeah.

2369
01:54:05,080 --> 01:54:07,160
Speaker 1: And I love the fact that the couple of those

2370
01:54:07,240 --> 01:54:10,439
Speaker 1: last two callers are invested in Josh Allen's development. That

2371
01:54:10,600 --> 01:54:12,000
Speaker 1: is a big part of what they're doing the season

2372
01:54:12,040 --> 01:54:13,920
Speaker 1: and trying to win every week, but also trying to

2373
01:54:13,960 --> 01:54:16,840
Speaker 1: develop a rookie quarterback, and he took another step forward

2374
01:54:16,880 --> 01:54:19,479
Speaker 1: in Minnesota last week. Josh Allen did. Allen spoke with

2375
01:54:19,600 --> 01:54:23,000
Speaker 1: the media moments ago here after the Wednesday practice broke up,

2376
01:54:23,200 --> 01:54:24,960
Speaker 1: and he talked about that among other things. But he

2377
01:54:25,040 --> 01:54:26,840
Speaker 1: was asked right off the bat, what does that win

2378
01:54:26,880 --> 01:54:30,120
Speaker 1: in Minnesota do for his professional development as a quarterback.

2379
01:54:31,280 --> 01:54:34,840
Speaker 1: I mean, it's my first win as an NFL starter,

2380
01:54:35,440 --> 01:54:37,520
Speaker 1: It's our first win on the season, and opfil, I'll

2381
01:54:37,520 --> 01:54:40,600
Speaker 1: just carry some momentum um into Green Bay. How much

2382
01:54:41,960 --> 01:54:44,160
Speaker 1: that's kind of right? Its people you win in a

2383
01:54:44,280 --> 01:54:47,600
Speaker 1: situation like that play as well as you did. You're

2384
01:54:47,640 --> 01:54:51,480
Speaker 1: so early in your development transitioning the what can you

2385
01:54:51,560 --> 01:54:54,320
Speaker 1: take from that game? I mean it's one game, so

2386
01:54:54,400 --> 01:54:57,120
Speaker 1: I mean there's not a whole lot riding on it.

2387
01:54:57,320 --> 01:54:59,320
Speaker 1: I don't want people to jump into conclusions on everything.

2388
01:55:00,040 --> 01:55:02,400
Speaker 1: We're still trying to get better, still trying to develop, um,

2389
01:55:02,760 --> 01:55:05,440
Speaker 1: you know, myself included. We're we're looking forward to having

2390
01:55:05,440 --> 01:55:07,240
Speaker 1: a good week of practice, good week of preparation for

2391
01:55:07,280 --> 01:55:10,840
Speaker 1: Green Bay. I don't prepare. I mean you go into

2392
01:55:10,840 --> 01:55:13,240
Speaker 1: a place like Minnesota when there you go to lakebo

2393
01:55:13,360 --> 01:55:16,040
Speaker 1: Fields Street kit because it made you get use conference

2394
01:55:16,240 --> 01:55:19,160
Speaker 1: unity to a road situation. Um. I mean there's some

2395
01:55:20,720 --> 01:55:23,160
Speaker 1: at least in practice to all the silent counting stuff

2396
01:55:23,160 --> 01:55:24,880
Speaker 1: that we have to go through. You know, I've heard

2397
01:55:24,920 --> 01:55:28,280
Speaker 1: nothing but great things about you know, the environment in Lambeau. Um,

2398
01:55:28,640 --> 01:55:30,880
Speaker 1: just the tradition that's been there, and the team that

2399
01:55:30,920 --> 01:55:32,840
Speaker 1: they got is you know, really good. You know, they

2400
01:55:32,920 --> 01:55:35,720
Speaker 1: got a quarterback over there that you put them on

2401
01:55:35,760 --> 01:55:38,800
Speaker 1: any team, he's gonna win football games. So um, you know,

2402
01:55:38,840 --> 01:55:40,800
Speaker 1: we're going in there and just trying to prepare and

2403
01:55:40,880 --> 01:55:47,200
Speaker 1: have a good week coming out, try to date anyway.

2404
01:55:47,400 --> 01:55:50,200
Speaker 1: For sure, he was one of the you know, best

2405
01:55:50,280 --> 01:55:53,120
Speaker 1: quarterbacks you know growing up I was watching still is. Um,

2406
01:55:53,520 --> 01:55:55,480
Speaker 1: so it's kind of cool to be able to go

2407
01:55:55,600 --> 01:55:59,680
Speaker 1: up against him, you know. Um yeah, just followed up

2408
01:56:00,200 --> 01:56:04,200
Speaker 1: but roughing the pastor controversy, So it's getting a lot

2409
01:56:04,240 --> 01:56:07,000
Speaker 1: of attention obviously. You know, what's your thoughts on how

2410
01:56:07,120 --> 01:56:10,320
Speaker 1: much sup quarterback should be protect them? I mean we

2411
01:56:10,520 --> 01:56:14,440
Speaker 1: should be protected, don't get me wrong. Um, you know,

2412
01:56:14,480 --> 01:56:16,200
Speaker 1: I don't know how many rough in the pastor calls

2413
01:56:16,240 --> 01:56:18,360
Speaker 1: we've had as a as a bills football team. I

2414
01:56:18,400 --> 01:56:20,640
Speaker 1: don't think it's been that much. You know, we're practicing

2415
01:56:20,680 --> 01:56:23,320
Speaker 1: and being taught the right ways to go about it. Um,

2416
01:56:24,640 --> 01:56:27,520
Speaker 1: you know, there's just there's the rules now, and I'm

2417
01:56:27,560 --> 01:56:29,600
Speaker 1: not saying that they're right. I'm just saying that those

2418
01:56:29,600 --> 01:56:32,200
Speaker 1: are the rules, and um, you know, we got to

2419
01:56:32,240 --> 01:56:34,080
Speaker 1: follow them and got to be taught the right way.

2420
01:56:34,120 --> 01:56:35,920
Speaker 1: And there is some calls that are judgmental, calls that,

2421
01:56:36,560 --> 01:56:39,800
Speaker 1: um that are just tough to to take. But you know,

2422
01:56:40,120 --> 01:56:44,000
Speaker 1: fortunate enough, I'm I'm playing quarterback positions, so uh, and

2423
01:56:44,160 --> 01:56:46,280
Speaker 1: I'm trying not to look at it as just a quarterback,

2424
01:56:46,360 --> 01:56:48,560
Speaker 1: just trying to look as a football player. And um,

2425
01:56:48,920 --> 01:56:50,480
Speaker 1: if it needs to be changed, it needs to be

2426
01:56:50,560 --> 01:56:52,960
Speaker 1: changed with that's not up to me. I'm sorry that

2427
01:56:53,360 --> 01:56:56,360
Speaker 1: in the brief time you've played, have you noticed any defenders,

2428
01:56:56,800 --> 01:57:00,200
Speaker 1: dare you trying to pull off or jackle from the

2429
01:57:00,320 --> 01:57:03,320
Speaker 1: side They want they want defensive they want defenders to

2430
01:57:03,360 --> 01:57:06,720
Speaker 1: actually pull themselves off in the middle of a tax. No,

2431
01:57:07,280 --> 01:57:10,400
Speaker 1: that hasn't happened to me. Um. You know, I'm gonna

2432
01:57:10,400 --> 01:57:12,200
Speaker 1: try and get away from anybody that's trying to tackle me,

2433
01:57:12,280 --> 01:57:17,080
Speaker 1: So UM, that hasn't happened, yet don't don't plan on

2434
01:57:17,120 --> 01:57:20,040
Speaker 1: it happening. You said you guys want to signing at

2435
01:57:20,040 --> 01:57:22,400
Speaker 1: a lock in Minnesota. What are the challenges of trying

2436
01:57:22,480 --> 01:57:24,880
Speaker 1: to maybe call audibles or change plays when that happens.

2437
01:57:24,880 --> 01:57:27,160
Speaker 1: I mean, you don't have to get into the dynamics

2438
01:57:27,160 --> 01:57:28,560
Speaker 1: because you want to give anything a wait. But is

2439
01:57:28,560 --> 01:57:30,400
Speaker 1: it tougher if you have to let side of count

2440
01:57:30,480 --> 01:57:32,160
Speaker 1: that you can't really get in not a certain place

2441
01:57:32,240 --> 01:57:34,840
Speaker 1: if you want. I mean, it is just the verbal

2442
01:57:34,960 --> 01:57:38,360
Speaker 1: communication that we have is very limited. Um, I can

2443
01:57:38,600 --> 01:57:40,800
Speaker 1: can't look out to receiver and yell at him and

2444
01:57:40,840 --> 01:57:42,000
Speaker 1: tell him what I want. You know, it's got to

2445
01:57:42,000 --> 01:57:44,520
Speaker 1: be a hand signal or this and that. On the

2446
01:57:44,600 --> 01:57:46,520
Speaker 1: other side, it's hard for them too. You know, on

2447
01:57:46,640 --> 01:57:48,960
Speaker 1: film when they're at home, they show some hand signals,

2448
01:57:49,000 --> 01:57:51,800
Speaker 1: and that's prevalent with any team that has a loud

2449
01:57:51,880 --> 01:57:55,320
Speaker 1: home stadium. They have to deal with the loud aspect too.

2450
01:57:55,440 --> 01:57:58,120
Speaker 1: So it's things that both teams pick pick up on

2451
01:57:58,200 --> 01:58:00,000
Speaker 1: each other. And uh, you know it's gonna be film

2452
01:58:00,080 --> 01:58:03,960
Speaker 1: out process. Early in Greenback, they just so to utilize

2453
01:58:04,320 --> 01:58:07,760
Speaker 1: a spy on you. If not so much, how much

2454
01:58:07,800 --> 01:58:11,360
Speaker 1: are you anticipating it going forward, knowing the success you've

2455
01:58:11,360 --> 01:58:14,360
Speaker 1: read with your legs. Um, I don't think they did

2456
01:58:14,400 --> 01:58:16,200
Speaker 1: it till late in the game. UM. I think they

2457
01:58:16,240 --> 01:58:20,520
Speaker 1: played it a couple of snaps. Um. You know, I'm

2458
01:58:20,560 --> 01:58:22,160
Speaker 1: not sure what their coach is gonna do. I don't

2459
01:58:22,160 --> 01:58:24,000
Speaker 1: know if he's gonna tell him to come after me

2460
01:58:24,200 --> 01:58:26,920
Speaker 1: or um, have one guy sit back. I know, if

2461
01:58:26,920 --> 01:58:29,400
Speaker 1: it's one guy sitting back, that's you know, better for

2462
01:58:29,480 --> 01:58:31,880
Speaker 1: our offensive line. I'm in protection. It's better for our

2463
01:58:31,880 --> 01:58:34,280
Speaker 1: guys getting open. We just have more time. UM. So

2464
01:58:35,600 --> 01:58:37,760
Speaker 1: you know I'm not calling defenses, but you know I

2465
01:58:37,840 --> 01:58:41,680
Speaker 1: have no idea speak speak of your legs. You know,

2466
01:58:41,840 --> 01:58:46,480
Speaker 1: look run for the first down. Leaks everywhere, Um, you

2467
01:58:46,560 --> 01:58:48,920
Speaker 1: know national highlights and imany what if they should do

2468
01:58:48,920 --> 01:58:53,440
Speaker 1: you joking about maybe you're approaching that regard similar situation.

2469
01:58:55,560 --> 01:58:58,920
Speaker 1: You know, just continue to protect yourself. UM. You know

2470
01:58:59,000 --> 01:59:01,880
Speaker 1: that's I wouldn't say I was reckless and in that game, UM,

2471
01:59:02,600 --> 01:59:04,640
Speaker 1: that's one play I probably could have protected myself a

2472
01:59:04,640 --> 01:59:07,240
Speaker 1: little better. But you know that was last week. So

2473
01:59:07,400 --> 01:59:09,600
Speaker 1: We're moving on to Green Bay and UM, you know

2474
01:59:09,720 --> 01:59:12,560
Speaker 1: going forward from now, well point during tracks, Shawn Reason's

2475
01:59:12,600 --> 01:59:14,040
Speaker 1: voice that you going help and how do they drive

2476
01:59:14,080 --> 01:59:17,080
Speaker 1: you going forward to the US preface. I mean, it's

2477
01:59:17,120 --> 01:59:20,000
Speaker 1: just kind of a little wake up call. Um. You know,

2478
01:59:20,080 --> 01:59:21,880
Speaker 1: by no means are we where we want to be?

2479
01:59:22,120 --> 01:59:23,960
Speaker 1: You know, we got a lot of work and you

2480
01:59:24,040 --> 01:59:26,520
Speaker 1: know we're the type of the team that's not going

2481
01:59:26,560 --> 01:59:28,400
Speaker 1: to put everything in the last basket that we just played.

2482
01:59:28,440 --> 01:59:30,960
Speaker 1: You know, we're looking forward to Green Bay. We're preparing

2483
01:59:31,040 --> 01:59:33,080
Speaker 1: for them as hard as we can be, and you know,

2484
01:59:33,200 --> 01:59:34,800
Speaker 1: going about it the same way we did last week

2485
01:59:34,840 --> 01:59:37,120
Speaker 1: and so on. So it's one week at a time.

2486
01:59:37,360 --> 01:59:40,080
Speaker 1: We're counting it as a one week season right now,

2487
01:59:40,200 --> 01:59:42,800
Speaker 1: so you know, our attention is completely on Green Bay.

2488
01:59:42,880 --> 01:59:45,040
Speaker 1: But you know, coaches, he wants the best for us.

2489
01:59:45,160 --> 01:59:46,720
Speaker 1: He wants us working as hard as we can. So

2490
01:59:46,800 --> 01:59:48,640
Speaker 1: that's what we're gonna try to do. Josh mc patton

2491
01:59:48,640 --> 01:59:52,440
Speaker 1: and their defensive coordinator is known for unique creative stuff

2492
01:59:52,480 --> 01:59:54,480
Speaker 1: against young quarterbacks. And how much of that you need

2493
01:59:54,560 --> 01:59:56,360
Speaker 1: prepared for you haven't seen on the film, but you

2494
01:59:56,440 --> 01:59:59,560
Speaker 1: know something's coming. Yeah, I mean that's gonna be every weekend.

2495
01:59:59,640 --> 02:00:02,680
Speaker 1: I think, Uh, it's just something different, whether it's on

2496
02:00:02,760 --> 02:00:05,800
Speaker 1: third down or a trickle here or there. But for

2497
02:00:05,920 --> 02:00:09,560
Speaker 1: the most part. You know, defenses don't vary too much.

2498
02:00:09,640 --> 02:00:11,520
Speaker 1: You know, they might show it here one or two snaps,

2499
02:00:11,600 --> 02:00:15,360
Speaker 1: but um, you know, good defenses are good defenses because

2500
02:00:15,400 --> 02:00:17,000
Speaker 1: they know what they're doing, they do it well. And

2501
02:00:17,320 --> 02:00:18,680
Speaker 1: you know that's what we're looking at a Green Bay

2502
02:00:18,680 --> 02:00:21,560
Speaker 1: Packer team. They know what they do well. They got

2503
02:00:21,640 --> 02:00:23,600
Speaker 1: some good players over there, So we're just trying to

2504
02:00:23,640 --> 02:00:25,400
Speaker 1: find ways that we can get our playmakers of ball.

2505
02:00:25,520 --> 02:00:28,560
Speaker 1: After this week, all five of the first round quarterbacks

2506
02:00:28,600 --> 02:00:31,280
Speaker 1: will have either started or at least played in games.

2507
02:00:31,320 --> 02:00:34,560
Speaker 1: What does that say about your rookie quarterback class? Um?

2508
02:00:36,200 --> 02:00:40,000
Speaker 1: You know, I mean, do you pay attention to those

2509
02:00:40,280 --> 02:00:42,480
Speaker 1: I'm not not really. You know, we are drafted to

2510
02:00:42,520 --> 02:00:45,800
Speaker 1: play football, and you know, whether it happened now or later,

2511
02:00:45,880 --> 02:00:49,400
Speaker 1: it's it's happening now, so you know. Um, you know,

2512
02:00:49,440 --> 02:00:51,800
Speaker 1: I keep in touch with the guys, but I don't

2513
02:00:51,840 --> 02:00:53,920
Speaker 1: really follow to too many other teams and I'm focused

2514
02:00:53,960 --> 02:00:56,800
Speaker 1: on our season right now. There you go, Josh Allen,

2515
02:00:56,800 --> 02:00:58,520
Speaker 1: you know I don't get too hung up. Steve On,

2516
02:00:58,560 --> 02:01:00,640
Speaker 1: would any players say in the course of the week

2517
02:01:00,720 --> 02:01:02,920
Speaker 1: or even on Sundays it's about how they play? But

2518
02:01:03,040 --> 02:01:06,320
Speaker 1: I will say this Josh Allen constantly impresses me with

2519
02:01:06,480 --> 02:01:09,320
Speaker 1: his level headed approach to the questions that come on

2520
02:01:09,440 --> 02:01:13,720
Speaker 1: Wednesday and on Sunday after games. He's a little bit

2521
02:01:14,200 --> 02:01:17,800
Speaker 1: more mature than most rookies, I think, and he demonstrates that. Yeah,

2522
02:01:17,880 --> 02:01:20,040
Speaker 1: he seems to have a good handle, a sense of

2523
02:01:20,120 --> 02:01:22,920
Speaker 1: self self awareness that he knows it's part of his

2524
02:01:23,120 --> 02:01:25,160
Speaker 1: deal as quarterback to have something to say about all

2525
02:01:25,200 --> 02:01:27,560
Speaker 1: the things he's asked about. And certainly there's more in

2526
02:01:27,600 --> 02:01:29,240
Speaker 1: a quarter And I know this is a member of

2527
02:01:29,320 --> 02:01:33,160
Speaker 1: the TV crews that cover these guys on a national basis.

2528
02:01:34,000 --> 02:01:36,360
Speaker 1: It's part of their job description. They got to handle it,

2529
02:01:36,520 --> 02:01:38,520
Speaker 1: and they get a lot put on their plate that

2530
02:01:38,640 --> 02:01:41,400
Speaker 1: not a lot of other players do, and you got

2531
02:01:41,520 --> 02:01:43,680
Speaker 1: to be able to handle it. And so far he's

2532
02:01:43,960 --> 02:01:46,000
Speaker 1: passed that test. I think he has. He's got more

2533
02:01:46,040 --> 02:01:48,440
Speaker 1: tests to come, including Sunday in Green Bay. We'll talk

2534
02:01:48,520 --> 02:01:51,360
Speaker 1: more about that when we continue. We got coffee with

2535
02:01:51,400 --> 02:01:53,440
Speaker 1: the coach Chris Brown and Sean mcdermore coming up. We

2536
02:01:53,520 --> 02:01:55,880
Speaker 1: got les Sean McCoy coming up as well, his comments

2537
02:01:55,920 --> 02:01:58,240
Speaker 1: after practice today. Come on back. We'll take your phone

2538
02:01:58,280 --> 02:02:00,360
Speaker 1: calls to what's next step for the Buffalo offense. What

02:02:00,440 --> 02:02:02,040
Speaker 1: do they need to do? Give us a call or

2542
02:02:20,200 --> 02:02:23,000
Speaker 1: Our Wednesday flies by as it always does, and I

2543
02:02:23,080 --> 02:02:25,000
Speaker 1: think we got a pretty good show tomorrow. Dan Fouts,

2544
02:02:25,080 --> 02:02:26,720
Speaker 1: hall of Fame quarterback, gonna be in the show tomorrow.

2545
02:02:26,720 --> 02:02:30,680
Speaker 1: He's calling the game on Steve's never the bird and

2546
02:02:30,720 --> 02:02:35,840
Speaker 1: the beard. I've never heard that before. I an eagle

2547
02:02:35,920 --> 02:02:38,440
Speaker 1: the bird and Dan founts the beard. He's had a

2548
02:02:38,480 --> 02:02:41,560
Speaker 1: beard for thirty years? Not you mentioned it that? It's

2549
02:02:41,640 --> 02:02:44,640
Speaker 1: really probably question number one for Dan Fouts. Why does

2550
02:02:44,680 --> 02:02:47,280
Speaker 1: CBS let you have a beard? And Steve felt compelled

2551
02:02:47,320 --> 02:02:48,960
Speaker 1: to shave his off back and at the end of

2552
02:02:49,000 --> 02:02:53,440
Speaker 1: training camp, if I'm gonna ask forgot even had a beard?

2553
02:02:53,440 --> 02:02:54,920
Speaker 1: Do you look like you're not gonna had it for

2554
02:02:55,040 --> 02:02:58,840
Speaker 1: like a like a fifteen minutes, got rave reviews all

2555
02:02:58,880 --> 02:03:04,320
Speaker 1: over America? Everybody who saw you here you're now that's

2556
02:03:04,360 --> 02:03:06,800
Speaker 1: the question for stay to the next topic. That's the

2557
02:03:06,920 --> 02:03:08,880
Speaker 1: question for Foults, right, why do you have a beard

2558
02:03:08,920 --> 02:03:11,320
Speaker 1: and this guy can't ever beard? Nobody said I couldn't

2559
02:03:11,320 --> 02:03:13,800
Speaker 1: have a beard, you were, I didn't want the beard

2560
02:03:13,920 --> 02:03:16,640
Speaker 1: when I went on TV. I think it's a good

2561
02:03:16,720 --> 02:03:21,200
Speaker 1: question for foults. Um. Lashawan McCoy limited a practice today,

2562
02:03:21,280 --> 02:03:24,440
Speaker 1: met with the media after today's practice. UH practice ended

2563
02:03:24,440 --> 02:03:27,080
Speaker 1: about forty five fifty minutes ago. Here's what Lashan McCoy

2564
02:03:27,120 --> 02:03:29,120
Speaker 1: had to say about his condition with the Ribs. Let's

2565
02:03:29,160 --> 02:03:32,600
Speaker 1: listen in. I feel good, feel good. I said it.

2566
02:03:32,680 --> 02:03:36,440
Speaker 1: First day, I really ran hard. Um Cton was kind

2567
02:03:36,480 --> 02:03:40,040
Speaker 1: of a minor little setback. Wether than that, I felt good,

2568
02:03:40,160 --> 02:03:44,200
Speaker 1: felt fast, I felt rested. So I'm excited. What went

2569
02:03:44,280 --> 02:03:49,560
Speaker 1: into you n I know you said it decision. Yeah,

2570
02:03:49,560 --> 02:03:52,000
Speaker 1: I couldn't. I couldn't sprint. We found in the pain,

2571
02:03:52,600 --> 02:03:55,560
Speaker 1: you know, so just imagine really didn't hit um, it

2572
02:03:55,560 --> 02:03:57,960
Speaker 1: would be even more fain But I still want to

2573
02:03:57,960 --> 02:04:01,400
Speaker 1: affect the team. Are going out there, you know, not

2574
02:04:01,480 --> 02:04:06,080
Speaker 1: being one hundred percent eight percent you know, so um,

2575
02:04:06,520 --> 02:04:08,840
Speaker 1: you know he sent me out. But today I've been

2576
02:04:09,280 --> 02:04:11,440
Speaker 1: full goal spraying. I'm ready to get out there. I'm

2577
02:04:11,440 --> 02:04:14,360
Speaker 1: ready to get back going. I gotta get my I

2578
02:04:14,440 --> 02:04:16,680
Speaker 1: gotta get it going, you know, looking at all the

2579
02:04:16,720 --> 02:04:20,680
Speaker 1: other running backs. So I got a lot to a

2580
02:04:20,720 --> 02:04:23,440
Speaker 1: lot to do them so much granted the cover in

2581
02:04:23,520 --> 02:04:26,040
Speaker 1: terms of your recovery before. It's a great light and

2582
02:04:27,480 --> 02:04:30,880
Speaker 1: I'm playing, I'm playing. I'm playing. Uh, like I said,

2583
02:04:30,880 --> 02:04:32,800
Speaker 1: I felt good today. Still some pain, but I'll be

2584
02:04:32,800 --> 02:04:37,920
Speaker 1: all right. I can deal with that during the well,

2585
02:04:37,960 --> 02:04:41,160
Speaker 1: that sounds pretty definitive. Steve played three times, I'm playing,

2586
02:04:41,200 --> 02:04:44,160
Speaker 1: I'm playing. What do you think? Sounds like he's playing.

2587
02:04:45,160 --> 02:04:47,200
Speaker 1: The question is how good will he play? How will

2588
02:04:47,240 --> 02:04:49,080
Speaker 1: he feel? Will it be able to go the entire game?

2589
02:04:49,120 --> 02:04:50,680
Speaker 1: Will it be able to take a full load, will

2590
02:04:50,720 --> 02:04:52,480
Speaker 1: it be able to take half a load? Will he

2591
02:04:52,560 --> 02:04:54,280
Speaker 1: be a decoy? Will you know? What are they? You

2592
02:04:54,320 --> 02:04:56,600
Speaker 1: know how they're gonna use him? That's but he's gonna

2593
02:04:56,600 --> 02:04:59,080
Speaker 1: be active, and it sounds like they're gonna need him,

2594
02:04:59,080 --> 02:05:00,840
Speaker 1: and we can I find out about Marcus Murphy too.

2595
02:05:00,880 --> 02:05:02,600
Speaker 1: You got two guys that are at Nick dubb Well

2596
02:05:02,600 --> 02:05:04,560
Speaker 1: with the injury report for today just came out the

2597
02:05:04,720 --> 02:05:08,000
Speaker 1: practice participation report. McCoy limited with his ribs. But you

2598
02:05:08,080 --> 02:05:10,800
Speaker 1: heard him say, I'm playing Marcus Murphy. Steve said he

2599
02:05:11,000 --> 02:05:14,160
Speaker 1: was limited today with his rib injury. Also limited today

2600
02:05:14,800 --> 02:05:17,760
Speaker 1: Charles Clay shoulder and hip Micah Hyde with a toe

2601
02:05:17,840 --> 02:05:20,560
Speaker 1: was limited today. Shack Lawson with a hamstring limited. Shack

2602
02:05:20,640 --> 02:05:22,240
Speaker 1: did not practice at all the last two weeks, so

2603
02:05:22,280 --> 02:05:24,560
Speaker 1: that's a step in the right direction. Trent Murphy with

2604
02:05:24,640 --> 02:05:27,280
Speaker 1: his ankle limited today, arrest day a day off or

2605
02:05:27,400 --> 02:05:31,840
Speaker 1: linebacker Lorenzo Alexander and defensive tackle Kyle Williams and full

2606
02:05:31,920 --> 02:05:34,360
Speaker 1: practice today. This is good news too. Full practice for

2607
02:05:34,480 --> 02:05:37,520
Speaker 1: cornerback Philip Gaines, who was a late scratch. He was

2608
02:05:37,560 --> 02:05:39,240
Speaker 1: limited all last week with that elbow. He's got the

2609
02:05:39,240 --> 02:05:41,680
Speaker 1: big brace on his elbow, got in full practice today.

2610
02:05:41,880 --> 02:05:44,640
Speaker 1: I would say the injury report is trending in favor

2611
02:05:44,640 --> 02:05:46,640
Speaker 1: of the Buffalo Bill. Steve, what do you think? Yeah,

2612
02:05:46,800 --> 02:05:48,680
Speaker 1: it sounds better than it did yesterday when all those

2613
02:05:48,720 --> 02:05:53,440
Speaker 1: guys were out completely or limited. Lashawn sounds really positive.

2614
02:05:53,480 --> 02:05:55,800
Speaker 1: And you can tell he and I didn't think about this,

2615
02:05:55,960 --> 02:05:59,000
Speaker 1: but given a guy like him a week off just

2616
02:05:59,160 --> 02:06:01,480
Speaker 1: to rest, even though he was healing and he could,

2617
02:06:02,040 --> 02:06:04,680
Speaker 1: he's got to feel like a million bucks god, like

2618
02:06:04,840 --> 02:06:07,920
Speaker 1: maybe eight million bucks or whatever it is. But you know, yeah,

2619
02:06:08,040 --> 02:06:10,800
Speaker 1: because listen, and it used to be everybody always said,

2620
02:06:10,840 --> 02:06:12,240
Speaker 1: we'll talk about this when the Bills get to the

2621
02:06:12,280 --> 02:06:13,680
Speaker 1: bye week. I'm sure that you know. Is it a

2622
02:06:13,720 --> 02:06:15,120
Speaker 1: good time it used to be? Is it a good

2623
02:06:15,160 --> 02:06:17,040
Speaker 1: time for the bye week? Is this is it too

2624
02:06:17,120 --> 02:06:19,080
Speaker 1: early for the bye? Is it too late in the buy?

2625
02:06:19,120 --> 02:06:22,320
Speaker 1: Are you listen? Every week is a great week for

2626
02:06:22,400 --> 02:06:26,040
Speaker 1: the bye for the players. It really makes a difference

2627
02:06:26,240 --> 02:06:29,560
Speaker 1: that it's that seven days off feels like a month

2628
02:06:29,920 --> 02:06:33,640
Speaker 1: because you're going so hard, you're so regimented, you're so focused,

2629
02:06:34,120 --> 02:06:37,720
Speaker 1: you're so so intent on the next thing you've got

2630
02:06:37,800 --> 02:06:39,840
Speaker 1: to do. And to take that away for just a

2631
02:06:39,920 --> 02:06:41,880
Speaker 1: few days, four or five days, if they get away

2632
02:06:42,000 --> 02:06:44,680
Speaker 1: or you know, it's a different schedule, it is a

2633
02:06:44,920 --> 02:06:47,320
Speaker 1: It really really feels good. So I'm sure, Look, Sean

2634
02:06:47,560 --> 02:06:49,240
Speaker 1: is going to bounce back and be really fresh this

2635
02:06:49,320 --> 02:06:51,720
Speaker 1: week if he can go every week. Chris Brown sits

2636
02:06:51,760 --> 02:06:54,400
Speaker 1: down with head coach Sean McDermott. It is Coffee with

2637
02:06:54,480 --> 02:06:57,360
Speaker 1: the Coach, presented by Tim Horton's Cafe and Bakeshop, the

2638
02:06:57,440 --> 02:07:02,080
Speaker 1: official coffee of the Buffalo Bills. Hello again, everybody, Welcome

2639
02:07:02,160 --> 02:07:04,160
Speaker 1: to the week four edition of Coffee with the Coach,

2640
02:07:04,280 --> 02:07:07,280
Speaker 1: presented by Tim Hortons. I'm Chris Brown, joined by Bill's

2641
02:07:07,280 --> 02:07:09,760
Speaker 1: head coach Sean McDermott as the Bill's head to Green

2642
02:07:09,840 --> 02:07:12,680
Speaker 1: Bay to face the Packers for a one pm kickoff Sunday.

2643
02:07:12,840 --> 02:07:15,080
Speaker 1: Ed lambeau Field coach is always thanks for joining us.

2644
02:07:15,480 --> 02:07:19,480
Speaker 1: I know you always preach complimentary football, and your pass

2645
02:07:19,560 --> 02:07:21,440
Speaker 1: rush was helped by the guys on the back end.

2646
02:07:21,840 --> 02:07:24,880
Speaker 1: But what kind of combination do you feel you found

2647
02:07:25,400 --> 02:07:29,240
Speaker 1: with that quartet up front, Lorenzo, Trent, Kyle and Jerry

2648
02:07:29,280 --> 02:07:31,320
Speaker 1: and the pass rush there. They did a phenomenal job

2649
02:07:31,360 --> 02:07:33,360
Speaker 1: in that game. I you know, I think the best

2650
02:07:33,440 --> 02:07:36,200
Speaker 1: as yet yet to come. I would hope Trent continues

2651
02:07:36,200 --> 02:07:38,680
Speaker 1: to get healthy. The way we're using Lorenzo, I think

2652
02:07:38,800 --> 02:07:43,520
Speaker 1: is very creative, and you know, pass rushes work well

2653
02:07:43,560 --> 02:07:45,280
Speaker 1: when they've been around each other for a little bit

2654
02:07:45,280 --> 02:07:48,080
Speaker 1: and can feel where their partner is going to be,

2655
02:07:48,280 --> 02:07:50,840
Speaker 1: and it's got to be synchronized and coordinator and I

2656
02:07:50,920 --> 02:07:53,400
Speaker 1: think coach Tarlank and coach whitecottam done a nice job

2657
02:07:53,440 --> 02:07:56,320
Speaker 1: with that and will continue to get better as we

2658
02:07:56,440 --> 02:07:59,480
Speaker 1: move forward. Even though it was a giant win against

2659
02:07:59,720 --> 02:08:02,960
Speaker 1: the Vikings last Sunday, how encouraging was it for you

2660
02:08:03,920 --> 02:08:05,960
Speaker 1: to hear from the players in the locker room not

2661
02:08:06,040 --> 02:08:08,800
Speaker 1: long after that victory even from some of the young players,

2662
02:08:09,120 --> 02:08:12,400
Speaker 1: just the even keeled nature of you taking the win

2663
02:08:12,560 --> 02:08:15,920
Speaker 1: for what it was but not making too much of it. Well,

2664
02:08:15,960 --> 02:08:18,320
Speaker 1: we've got a young team. I know there's some older

2665
02:08:18,360 --> 02:08:20,000
Speaker 1: guys on the team that have been there and done that,

2666
02:08:20,080 --> 02:08:22,400
Speaker 1: But for the most part, even at halftime of last

2667
02:08:22,400 --> 02:08:24,520
Speaker 1: week's game, there was quite a few guys in that

2668
02:08:24,600 --> 02:08:26,200
Speaker 1: locker room that I was looking at who it hadn't

2669
02:08:26,240 --> 02:08:28,600
Speaker 1: been in a situation like that before, And I thought

2670
02:08:28,640 --> 02:08:30,920
Speaker 1: our leadership group did a phenomenal job of getting out

2671
02:08:30,920 --> 02:08:33,320
Speaker 1: in front of it at halftime and then certainly after

2672
02:08:33,400 --> 02:08:35,680
Speaker 1: the game and as we've gone through the week here,

2673
02:08:35,800 --> 02:08:37,680
Speaker 1: so you know, we've got a lot of work to do,

2674
02:08:37,800 --> 02:08:39,720
Speaker 1: and this is a big challenge for us to head

2675
02:08:39,720 --> 02:08:41,840
Speaker 1: the lambeau Field against a very good opponent. Right, So

2676
02:08:41,960 --> 02:08:44,840
Speaker 1: that's perfect segue, coach, as we look ahead to the Packers. Now,

2677
02:08:44,920 --> 02:08:48,040
Speaker 1: let's do some of our weekly word association. So give

2678
02:08:48,120 --> 02:08:49,680
Speaker 1: me a couple of words that come to mind when

2679
02:08:49,720 --> 02:08:55,440
Speaker 1: I say lambeau Field tradition, Vince Lombardi, greatness, And that

2680
02:08:55,600 --> 02:08:57,760
Speaker 1: was my next one, actually, Vince Lombardi. What do you

2681
02:08:57,800 --> 02:08:59,720
Speaker 1: think of when you hear that name? Just a guy

2682
02:08:59,800 --> 02:09:02,400
Speaker 1: that I think if you're a coach, or any coach,

2683
02:09:02,440 --> 02:09:05,320
Speaker 1: whether it's football or any sport for that matter, it's

2684
02:09:06,240 --> 02:09:09,000
Speaker 1: you talk about modeling yourself after a guy that's had

2685
02:09:09,160 --> 02:09:11,920
Speaker 1: a tremendous amount of success and the habits that he

2686
02:09:12,160 --> 02:09:15,200
Speaker 1: utilized as a coach. It's something that I continue to

2687
02:09:15,240 --> 02:09:18,000
Speaker 1: try and learn from every day. A little personnel up there, Now,

2688
02:09:18,080 --> 02:09:20,960
Speaker 1: how about Jimmy Graham. He's a guy that was in

2689
02:09:21,000 --> 02:09:24,080
Speaker 1: the NFC South, very good tight end in particular, he

2690
02:09:24,160 --> 02:09:27,920
Speaker 1: plays above the rim in the passing game, and tough

2691
02:09:28,000 --> 02:09:31,960
Speaker 1: matchup for US, Tough tough matchups for most defenses. He

2692
02:09:32,040 --> 02:09:34,920
Speaker 1: shows up in the red zone, third down, and certainly

2693
02:09:34,960 --> 02:09:36,960
Speaker 1: he's a big target for Aaron Rodgers. Yeah, and he

2694
02:09:37,080 --> 02:09:39,280
Speaker 1: might be a little gimpy, but what about Aaron Rodgers?

2695
02:09:40,400 --> 02:09:42,360
Speaker 1: What more? What more can you say about him? Him?

2696
02:09:42,400 --> 02:09:45,200
Speaker 1: He's probably the best quarterback plan right now in the game,

2697
02:09:45,560 --> 02:09:47,760
Speaker 1: or one of the best. If he's not the best, Arguably,

2698
02:09:48,680 --> 02:09:50,600
Speaker 1: I have a lot of respect for him. He wins

2699
02:09:50,640 --> 02:09:55,320
Speaker 1: with accuracy, wins with intelligence, he wins with his mobility,

2700
02:09:55,400 --> 02:09:58,640
Speaker 1: and he's a long He's a he's a long afternoon guy.

2701
02:09:58,680 --> 02:10:00,920
Speaker 1: I mean, you got to play for quarters and sometimes

2702
02:10:01,000 --> 02:10:03,280
Speaker 1: then some to come out with a win. All right,

2703
02:10:03,280 --> 02:10:07,560
Speaker 1: A couple of words for me for Clayey Matthews, another

2704
02:10:07,640 --> 02:10:10,840
Speaker 1: good dominant pass rusher that can change a game, and

2705
02:10:11,400 --> 02:10:13,920
Speaker 1: so ball security and knowing where he is he lines

2706
02:10:14,000 --> 02:10:15,760
Speaker 1: up all over the place will be important for us

2707
02:10:15,800 --> 02:10:17,480
Speaker 1: and it'll be a good test for our offensive line

2708
02:10:17,520 --> 02:10:19,560
Speaker 1: in our backs. All Right. Now it's time for our

2709
02:10:19,640 --> 02:10:22,000
Speaker 1: Fan Question of the Week, a chance for you the

2710
02:10:22,080 --> 02:10:24,920
Speaker 1: fan to ask coach a question. This week's question comes

2711
02:10:25,000 --> 02:10:28,040
Speaker 1: from Team Manning twenty two and he asks, what's the

2712
02:10:28,160 --> 02:10:32,000
Speaker 1: single biggest difference you've seen between the first six quarters

2713
02:10:32,080 --> 02:10:35,360
Speaker 1: coach versus the last six quarters of play? Well, I

2714
02:10:35,440 --> 02:10:38,040
Speaker 1: think our team overall has started to find itself in

2715
02:10:38,240 --> 02:10:40,320
Speaker 1: terms of every team is different every year. And then

2716
02:10:40,760 --> 02:10:44,440
Speaker 1: the overall aggressiveness of our style of play, whether it's

2717
02:10:44,480 --> 02:10:47,800
Speaker 1: played calling or just the freeing up nature of the

2718
02:10:47,880 --> 02:10:50,560
Speaker 1: way that the guys have played to the last six quarters.

2719
02:10:51,320 --> 02:10:53,480
Speaker 1: When you play fast, you play aggressive, you're gonna make

2720
02:10:53,560 --> 02:10:55,000
Speaker 1: some mistakes. But at the end of the day, we'll

2721
02:10:55,080 --> 02:10:57,960
Speaker 1: learn from those with this young football team and continue

2722
02:10:58,280 --> 02:11:01,040
Speaker 1: to develop and grow and play our best foot forward.

2743
02:12:16,000 --> 02:12:18,400
Speaker 1: from Thurman Thomas Hall of Fame running back. We talked

2744
02:12:18,440 --> 02:12:20,760
Speaker 1: with him about the next step for the Buffalo Bills offense.

2745
02:12:20,800 --> 02:12:24,800
Speaker 1: Here's what he said. I will look at sustained drives

2746
02:12:25,400 --> 02:12:29,280
Speaker 1: going into this game, keeping on the point on sideline. Yeah,

2747
02:12:29,520 --> 02:12:32,240
Speaker 1: I think that would be. But when you talk about that,

2748
02:12:32,640 --> 02:12:36,360
Speaker 1: I think you do involved Lashawan mccauy, right, if he's

2749
02:12:36,400 --> 02:12:38,240
Speaker 1: playing right, that's the only way that you're going to

2750
02:12:38,320 --> 02:12:41,280
Speaker 1: keep an Rogers on the sideline. So I've did ye

2751
02:12:41,440 --> 02:12:43,640
Speaker 1: can't have any three and ounce like they did a

2752
02:12:43,720 --> 02:12:48,560
Speaker 1: couple second half League three and ouns. But yeah, if

2753
02:12:48,600 --> 02:12:50,280
Speaker 1: you want to you know, if you want to get

2754
02:12:50,360 --> 02:12:54,440
Speaker 1: the two and two, you have long, sustained drives, no turnovers,

2755
02:12:55,040 --> 02:12:57,520
Speaker 1: Hope the defense gets some turnovers, and hope you have

2756
02:12:57,640 --> 02:13:00,920
Speaker 1: Lashaw mccauy. There you go, Thurmantown, I'm trying to get

2757
02:13:00,960 --> 02:13:03,360
Speaker 1: to two and two. Also on the show today, Jordan Poyer,

2758
02:13:03,400 --> 02:13:06,520
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill safety, talked about going up against Aaron Rodgers.

2759
02:13:06,600 --> 02:13:09,120
Speaker 1: What it will take to go against Aaron Rodgers in

2760
02:13:09,160 --> 02:13:13,880
Speaker 1: Sunday's game. He's a he's a gamer. Um, you know

2761
02:13:14,000 --> 02:13:16,080
Speaker 1: he's are you being one of the best quarterbacks who

2762
02:13:16,280 --> 02:13:18,680
Speaker 1: have played the game, and so when you're going up

2763
02:13:18,680 --> 02:13:21,000
Speaker 1: against a guy like that, you know you you gotta

2764
02:13:21,000 --> 02:13:22,800
Speaker 1: be you gotta be on your stuff man, And um,

2765
02:13:23,000 --> 02:13:25,560
Speaker 1: you know, because he he'll he'll find he'll find the

2766
02:13:25,640 --> 02:13:28,120
Speaker 1: weakness and he'll export it. And I mean twelve runs

2767
02:13:28,200 --> 02:13:30,880
Speaker 1: the show though twelve, he'll he'll go back there if

2768

2769
02:13:33,840 --> 02:13:35,800
Speaker 1: to to get his offense and the best play. And

Speaker 1: so I said, we're gonna this week's gonna be um

2771
02:13:39,360 --> 02:13:41,680

02:13:41,720 --> 02:13:44,240
Speaker 1: able to uh to make him think, you know, and

2773
02:13:44,480 --> 02:13:47,200
Speaker 1: hold the ball maybe half a second longer. Ope, He's right,

2776
02:13:51,080 --> 02:13:52,880
