11
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:40,680
Speaker 1: I'm doing really good. Me too, really good. Yeah. We

12
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:44,600
Speaker 1: went the hockey game last night. It did great atmosphere, great,

13
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 1: great game, even then a loss. That was so fun

14
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:50,239
Speaker 1: to watch that overtime and we were jumping out our

15
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:53,600
Speaker 1: seats in overtime like three or four times and ended

16
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 1: up not seeing a goal. It was fun. O, what

17
00:00:57,480 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 1: a fun game. It watched some of the game and

18
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 1: the overtime and then I'll be honest with you, the

19
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:04,520
Speaker 1: shootout loses me. It's just it's not exciting. Yeah, it's

20
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:07,280
Speaker 1: amazing too. How could you know it used to be

21
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:09,120
Speaker 1: back in the old days when you and I were

22
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 1: growing up. Shootout was like, Oh, this is gonna be awesome,

23
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 1: you know, because we're gonna see some guys some skills.

24
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 1: And last night it was anti climactic because the game

25
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 1: was so good. Yeah, that's really weirds of the game,

26
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 1: that's for sure. And the Sabers lost. That's not Why

27
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:22,959
Speaker 1: don't you don't settle a game, a contested game with

28
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:26,840
Speaker 1: a skills competition. I guess that's my take. And over

29
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:29,319
Speaker 1: overtime is fine, And now it's three and three overtime

30
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 1: and it's wide open. As you said, it was wild fun,

31
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:35,120
Speaker 1: wildly fun to watch, and I'm good with that. But whatever,

32
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 1: you know, Sabers, they'll they gotta figure out some way.

33
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 1: I know they don't want to end the games and ties. Um,

34
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:44,040
Speaker 1: I'm just saying they don't. They don't want to, but

35
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 1: I we were talking about great idea would be because

36
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 1: there's the thing you could leave it if you don't

37
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 1: have a time limit on it. Those guys will never

38
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 1: commit to try and to score. You know, they'll wait

39
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 1: for the perfect opportunity and the other team won't give

40
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 1: it to him. You could be out there for two

41
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 1: hours skating around three on three, you know, but it's

42
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 1: a great You gotta have an end point, so you

43
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 1: gotta say, Okay, you're gonna go down the roster and

44
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 1: you're gonna have changes every same ninety seconds of overtime.

45
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 1: You're gonna change three new guys. And once those guys

46
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 1: play on the ice and overtime, they can't play anymore.

47
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:18,919
Speaker 1: They can't play anymore. So those three guys are off

48
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 1: the ice, and it's different. Three guys are on the

49
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 1: ice until you go all the way through the roster.

50
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 1: So then there would be you'd get guys like Keel

51
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 1: and Skinner and Rhinehart out there and they know they

52
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 1: got ninety seconds to score, and there'd be an urgency

53
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 1: to that, right. I guess this is too deep for me.

54
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 1: It's too deep. I'm just saying that was a fun game.

55
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 1: Last I'll tell you what. It's rare that you get

56
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 1: a game that's fun to watch that you don't your

57
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 1: team doesn't win, And Hockey does it better than anybody

58
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 1: I think does. What have games that are entertaining even

59
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:54,520
Speaker 1: if you come out on the wrong end of it,

60
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 1: like a like a shooting. I think you say that

61
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 1: because you're a Savers fan and you're you're accustomed today,

62
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 1: yet settle for the settle for that right. No, I

63
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 1: watched that game. I had to. My remote control is

64
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 1: on fire, still warm this morning because I'm watching that.

65
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 1: Quick switch over to Monday Night football, which was an

66
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:15,360
Speaker 1: entertaining first half anyway. Right then he had the Cleveland Cavaliers.

67
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:18,080
Speaker 1: I got the NBA League pastel and they didn't play well,

68
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:20,679
Speaker 1: but that was all I want was boom boom boom boom. Yeah,

69
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 1: I'm Tony. Walked in the room and so, what are

70
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:24,360
Speaker 1: you doing? What do you watching? I said, all of it?

71
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:26,360
Speaker 1: I'm watching all of it all three Yeah, see, And

72
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 1: I had I had the UM the Monday night game

73
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:32,959
Speaker 1: on last night too, and was watching them at the

74
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 1: hockey game after the game, after the game, I came

75
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 1: home and and turned it out for the second and fifth.

76
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you, if it fits is just he

77
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 1: is the only positive vibe coming out of Miami. That's it.

78
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 1: He was gutsy. He walks off the field last night

79
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 1: covered in grass stains. Right he was getting whacked diving

80
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 1: for first downs. And listen, there's another thing, and there's

81
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 1: another anton you have about the officials continue to contaminate

82
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 1: the League. They have a delay last night on an

83
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 1: instant replay delay of ten minutes because they're trying to

84
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 1: figure out whether he was down before it was a

85
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 1: challenge on a first down spot. They're imbeciles up there.

86
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,920
Speaker 1: What are they doing in New York? Did he get

87
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 1: it or not? Did he get it or not? Did

88
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:26,480
Speaker 1: he get it? And if you're debating it for ten minutes,

89
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:28,719
Speaker 1: shut up, Let the call stand and get back to

90
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 1: the game. They called it a first down. If he

91
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 1: made it, fine, If he didn't, he didn't. If you're

92
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 1: debating it, be done with it. Say that call stands.

93
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 1: And if you're debating on where it is, and what

94
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 1: are you doing? Ten minute halftime is thirteen minutes and

98
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:03,360

106
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 1: didn't know, but no, we did not. I didn't know

107
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:29,719
Speaker 1: you're gonna do that. I didn't when I saw the

108
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:31,599
Speaker 1: fourth Tim Hortons go down, I thought, oh, we could

109
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:34,239
Speaker 1: be in trouble. Yeah, but really, if you want to sponsor,

110
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 1: when of Steve's rants go ahead? Given I can't believe

112

Speaker 1: on an island shouting into the ocean. Hey? How many

114
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:48,960

Speaker 1: know what's going to happen, but it's it's it's notable.

154
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 1: Menish Meta, Daily News, New York writes this today like

155
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 1: within the hour, could Levion Bell's time with the Jets

156
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 1: already be coming to an end? The Daily News has

157
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:44,240
Speaker 1: learned that the Jets are amenable to dealing the perennial

158
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl running back for the right price before today's deadline.

159
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 1: It is unclear what the price tank has been during discussions,

160
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 1: but there are legitimate buyers. Jets maybe looking to unload

161
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 1: as salary. As you know, Adam Gase was not a

162
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 1: fan of of Levion Beld wasn't in on the signing.

163
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 1: Now Mani Shmida writes this, This is where I don't

164
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 1: know what to what to do with this. He writes,

165
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 1: keep an eye and the Texans, the Chiefs, and the

166
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 1: Bills as a possible trademark partner for him innisch Meda.

167
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 1: He says, they all could use a dynamic running back.

168
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 1: That would surprise me. It would surprise me. That would

169
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 1: surprise me too. The Bills have also been linked to

170
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 1: a Chargers running back, Melvin Gordon, and reports where did

171
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 1: I see coming out of Los Angeles and people who

172
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 1: cover the Chargers talking about maybe it'll take a third rounder.

173
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 1: I guess speculated to get Melvin Gordon out of there.

174
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 1: He's in the final year of his contract now half

175
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:37,680
Speaker 1: a season left us. Yes, you're gonna get him for

176
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 1: basically rental. If you get him, get him and sign

177
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 1: him and sign him, or get him and they have

178
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 1: third rounder, though that's too much for a third rounder.

179
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:47,440
Speaker 1: If you're not gonna be able to sign him, well

180
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 1: you gotta make sure you sign him. That you gotta

181
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:52,560
Speaker 1: sign him. I'm not a huge trade guy today, and

182
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 1: if they make one, we'll see how it works out.

183
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:56,200
Speaker 1: But if they can get Melvin Gordon for a third rounder,

184
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:58,840
Speaker 1: maybe even a second rounder, Steve, I think I'd go

185
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:00,719
Speaker 1: for that. If the Bills can do that, I can

186
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 1: see how he could be the guy that fits in

187
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:08,120
Speaker 1: alongside the motor Devin Singletary for next season. And again,

188
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 1: you gotta sign him. You gotta make sure you can

189
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 1: sign him, and there'd be job one. We're traded for

190
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 1: him and we sign him to an extension. That'd be

191
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 1: a good fit. Though Here's here's the thing. Though, I

192
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 1: think Melvin Gordon and Devin Singletary for next year, here's

193
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 1: what kind of lightened the load on this year on Frank.

194
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 1: Frank Or is on a pace for like two hundred

195
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 1: carries this year, probably a little too much. Yeah, and

196
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:28,840
Speaker 1: he's also I mean he's on a one year deal,

197
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:31,199
Speaker 1: Frank Gore, right or Yeah, it's a one year deal,

198
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 1: isn't it. Anyway, Besides the point, if it happens with

199
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 1: Melvin Gordon, here's what happened has to happen for me, Murph,

200
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 1: I'd give up a three, maybe a two. If they've

201
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,560
Speaker 1: been talking. In the days leading up to the trade deadline.

202
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 1: The Chargers gave the Bills permission to talk to Melvin

203
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 1: Gordon's representation that get a deal in place and say,

204
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 1: if the trade happens, you'll agree to this long term

205
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 1: deal boom, then we make the trade. You know, you

206
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 1: agree to the deal before the deal. And if that happens,

207
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:00,079
Speaker 1: then I can say, okay, I would jump up or

208
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 1: two right, yeah, if you got him locked up and

209
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:05,560
Speaker 1: you got a long term deal in place, i'd do that.

210
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 1: But and for three I certainly would. But if you

211
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:11,679
Speaker 1: could get permission get Melvin Gordon say okay, mom, and

212
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 1: here's what we're gonna give you, A B and C,

213
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 1: a long term deal, will guarantee you this T this

214
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 1: much much of it, and will you sign it when

215
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 1: we trade for your you know, we signed the deal

216
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 1: and then we'll trade for you and he'll and either

217
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 1: yes or no. And then if that was in place,

218
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 1: then I think, yeah, okay, then we can make that deal. Um.

219
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:30,800
Speaker 1: So the Bills, you know, seem to be in on

220
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:33,200
Speaker 1: at least making phone calls say hey, what's it gonna take.

221
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:37,560
Speaker 1: But that's to me all that's possible. If certain things

222
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 1: are done before it. You can't trade for him and

223
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 1: not have him under contract for a long term. You're

224
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 1: not gonna give up that high of a dract make

225
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:46,840
Speaker 1: that deal because to sign him long term. And here's

226
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 1: where I always go. I mean, you'll be giving up

227
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:52,840
Speaker 1: guys like you'd be giving up a second and a third. Well,

228
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:54,959
Speaker 1: who's our third this year? It'd be Devin Singletary. You'd

229
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:56,840
Speaker 1: be given up Devin Singletary. By the way, I'm not

230
00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:58,600
Speaker 1: saying I'd give up both a second and a third,

231
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 1: would you, No, no no, no, no, but there are But

232
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 1: the second rounder would this year would be Cody Ford.

233
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 1: Right last year, the second rounder would have been who

234
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:08,200
Speaker 1: was our second rounder last year? And I can't remember.

235
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 1: Well that's maybe that says says a lot, uh, you know,

236
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:15,079
Speaker 1: but that's what we're talking about, right, I mean, you're

237
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 1: talking about, you know, giving up a really good player,

238
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:21,080
Speaker 1: a player that you're gonna that's gonna hang around maybe

239
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:25,680
Speaker 1: for a decade, and you know, for a guy that's

240
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 1: Melvin Gordon, who's had some good years, but I don't

241
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 1: know about phenomenal. I mean, the Chargers aren't going to

242
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 1: sign him for the kind of money, he's asking, he's

243
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 1: holding out. He was okay, but the Chargers were like,

244
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 1: what four and one, five and one without him last year? Yeah,

245
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:42,720
Speaker 1: so I was didn't have a second rounder last year. Okay,

246
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:45,679
Speaker 1: maybe that's why that's why we couldn't remember. So they're

247
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 1: all kinds of rumors out there, and we're happy to

248
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 1: talk about him. Our Twitter poll today deals with the

249
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 1: trade deadline four o'clock. I mean, we've talked about this

250
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 1: over the last couple of weeks. Do they even need

251
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:56,679
Speaker 1: to make a trade? And yes, Sunday's lost to the

252
00:11:56,720 --> 00:12:00,600
Speaker 1: Eagles factors into this, the failings, the shortcomings on display

253
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:04,319
Speaker 1: against the Eagles. Those include, you know, I think interior

254
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:08,520
Speaker 1: defensive line could be something they're looking at. Those include weapons.

255
00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 1: I mean, you look at the Kyle Brandt from the

256
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:12,760
Speaker 1: outside looking in says, can the Bills please get some weapons?

257
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 1: Can they get some targets in the passing game? All

258
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 1: of that in play now and we're just three hours,

259
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:19,840

Speaker 1: seven percent of you say they need a minor adjustment.

280
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 1: Maybe this is where you look at you know a

00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 1: defensive lineman who can help out in the defensive tactic rotation.

282
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:17,439

285
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:24,679
Speaker 1: play here in this question is your assessment of where

286
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:28,080
Speaker 1: the Bills are, what your expectations are for this season,

287
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 1: what you saw last Sunday in the loss to the Eagles,

288
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:33,960
Speaker 1: and what you anticipate for the remainder of the schedule,

289
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,480
Speaker 1: the third or fourth easiest schedule still out in front

290
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:38,720
Speaker 1: of him. That's at play here. What's at play also

291
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:42,080
Speaker 1: is your expectation for how well the Bills draft. They

292
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 1: draft pretty well, and maybe you want to let us

293
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 1: know what you think of that, and do you want

294
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 1: to give up draft picks and now to add something

295
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 1: to this year? And also what your expectation for this

296
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:53,880
Speaker 1: year or what do you think? You know, five wins,

297
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:56,760
Speaker 1: two losses, they are on pace for a playoff spot

298
00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 1: right now? Do you want them to be on pace

299
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:02,120
Speaker 1: for a Super Bowl intention for Super Bowl contention? Maybe

300
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:04,319
Speaker 1: you do. Maybe you see the windows open. Look when

301
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:07,560
Speaker 1: you see the Jets and the Dolphins as poor as

302
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 1: they are, and the rest of the AFC landscape, it's

303
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 1: not hard to say, hey, maybe this is Buffalo's year.

304
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:15,360
Speaker 1: Why out us? As people say, right right? I mean,

305
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:17,680
Speaker 1: maybe there's a deep playoff run in this Buffalo Bills

306
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 1: team that could be enhanced by a deal before today.

307
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 1: So we'll listen to all of that. I understand that

308
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 1: people get excited about trades, and I'm willing to entertain

309
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 1: anything today. How about you? Are you okay? Tyler? In

310
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 1: a moment ago about the official, right, I really think

311
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 1: this is a it's more about a partner than it

312
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:39,920
Speaker 1: is about the Bills. I think the Bills are very

313
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:41,560
Speaker 1: willing to go out and make a deal they think

314
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:43,080
Speaker 1: will get them better. And I think the one and

315
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 1: I said this yesterday on the show too, I think

316
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:48,680
Speaker 1: the atmosphere in this building would be to me, Murph,

317
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 1: and I don't know if you agree with it. We

318
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 1: didn't really get into whether you agreed with this or not.

319
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:53,560
Speaker 1: I think that's more likely that the Bills will trade

320
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 1: players and maybe a late draft pick current fifty three

321
00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:01,680
Speaker 1: fifty three, rather than and like a two or three.

322
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:05,240
Speaker 1: Who can they afford to lose? Yeah, that's a good question,

323
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, that's that's just it. But I

324
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 1: think I think they would think the future draft pick,

325
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 1: particularly as first, second or third dround draft pick, would

326
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 1: be much more valuable than you know, a depth at

327
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 1: corner like a Kevin Johnson. You know, who's got a

328
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:22,600
Speaker 1: guy who's got first round talent, or Terren Johnson or

329
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 1: some of these defensive backs they've got. They've got so

330
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:26,800
Speaker 1: many good defensive backs that could be a place where

331
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 1: they could shed some shed some talent um offensively, Maybe

332
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 1: they've got some guys on their practice squad or their

333
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 1: depth that their offensive lines. Listen, the Bills almost cornered

334
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 1: the market on good offensive lineman in training They had

335
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:42,920
Speaker 1: fifteen guys in training camp and they sifted through them

336
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 1: pretty well. So they've probably got some pretty good offensive

337
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:50,120
Speaker 1: lineman people have got their eyes on. Yeah, Listen, there's

338
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 1: some teams out there that are You've heard the Jets

339
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 1: offensive line struggle. The Miami Dolphins line is struggling. And

340
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:58,640
Speaker 1: you can go back and make it. Well, I know

341
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 1: you might not want to, but if you give up

342
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 1: a Ryan Bates for what are you gonna get for him? Well,

343
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:06,760
Speaker 1: that's what I'm saying. Maybe you get a guy like

344
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 1: Melvin Gordon with a fifth or a fourth, you know

345
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:11,560
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, instead of a third or a second,

346
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 1: you give up a fifth and an offensive lineman for

347
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:16,440
Speaker 1: a guy like Melvin Gordon. That's what I'm saying. I

348
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:18,960
Speaker 1: think I think there are teams out there who are

349
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:21,840
Speaker 1: so bereft of players that they can look at the

350
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 1: Bills roster and say, hey, you've got a lot of

351
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 1: depth here there wherever. Let's get one of those guys

352
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 1: and we'll make the deal. I think that's more likely.

353
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:32,400
Speaker 1: I think that's I'm thinking. So you don't agree with that.

354
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 1: I don't want to lose anybody. Look, I don't think

355
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:36,480
Speaker 1: the Bills are that deep and that excellent. And I'm

356
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 1: trying to think where their deepest, but I don't know

357
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 1: where that is defensive backfield. I don't want to what

358
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:42,880
Speaker 1: if they trade like these guys that have been bumping

359
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:44,520
Speaker 1: up and down on the wide receiver charts like in

360
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 1: Isaiah McKenzie or bought Robert Foster. Guys are taking like

361
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 1: two snaps a game Robert Foster. Yet I do want

362
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 1: to see what he has. You'd rather have Robert Foster

363
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 1: than Melvin Gordon? No, I did not say that. Well,

364
00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:59,280
Speaker 1: that's kind of what you're saying. I'm saying, I don't

365
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 1: know that they're that deep at any position that I'd

366
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:04,159
Speaker 1: want to start trading away assets I'd rather trade away

367
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 1: some draft picks. I don't think. I don't know where

368
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:09,960
Speaker 1: they're deep. Where the deep receiver you're gonna get Robert

369
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:13,840
Speaker 1: You're gonna get Melvin Gordon for Robert Foster. Robert You're

370
00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:15,639
Speaker 1: not gonna get Melvin Gordon for that. I don't think

371
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:17,639
Speaker 1: you get it. I don't know not if they think drafted,

372
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:21,479
Speaker 1: I think rookie last year. It depends on how bad that. Yeah, okay,

373
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:23,400
Speaker 1: maybe I won't then I don't make the deal. Then

374
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:25,399
Speaker 1: you know, I don't make the deal to give you

375
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:27,240
Speaker 1: a chance to make that don't deal. I wouldn't. I

376
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:29,720
Speaker 1: wouldn't make the deal then and I would take And

377
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna make the deal for Melvin Gordon. And yeah,

378
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:35,440
Speaker 1: I don't know if i'd give up a third or

379
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:38,199
Speaker 1: a second for unless he's signed. Well, we said that,

380
00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:39,919
Speaker 1: yeah he's got any They won't even do it if

381
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:41,679
Speaker 1: he's not signed. All right, what do you think? Give

382
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:43,439
Speaker 1: us a call? Fall line's open? Eight oh three? What

383
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:44,960

00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:47,600
Speaker 1: get you. I get you. I'm a lot of calls.

385
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:49,000
Speaker 1: You want to take calls? You want to retweets? What

386
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 1: do you want to do basically wants to talk about

387
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:54,360
Speaker 1: this because everybody loves playing GM. Yeah, ahead, and that's

388
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:56,080
Speaker 1: the appeal. I get it, you know. And and look,

389
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 1: nothing may happen today, by the way, we put that

390
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:01,399
Speaker 1: in as our options for the two pole. Yeah about anything.

391
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:03,960
Speaker 1: Nothing may happen. Yeah, it might not. And I we

392
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:05,959
Speaker 1: went off the here yesterday. It'll be interesting to give

393
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,200
Speaker 1: it a thirty percent chance yesterday that they'd make a deal.

394
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:12,399
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you this, there's gonna be some bills

395
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:17,159
Speaker 1: fans who are gonna be vehement if they don't make

396
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:19,360
Speaker 1: a trade. You sure, I don't know. I think there

397
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:21,480
Speaker 1: will be. I think there always are. Take a few

398
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:24,120
Speaker 1: calls here, let's go to a Joe in Rochester. Welcome Joe.

399
00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:26,159
Speaker 1: You're on the air with us, all right, how are you?

400
00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:30,320
Speaker 1: How you doing Okay? Um, I just don't think, um,

401
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:33,399
Speaker 1: I don't think they need anybody. And if um, I

402
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:36,359
Speaker 1: really don't think, I don't think that if they trade

403
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:38,479
Speaker 1: it for anybody would be worthwhile because if they get

404
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:40,520
Speaker 1: a running back, they're not going to use them. They

405
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 1: don't want to run the ball. And if they get

406
00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 1: a receiver, Josh Ellen's gonna miss them deep anyway. So

407
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:49,679
Speaker 1: what's the point, right Joe? Is that what you're saying? Yeah,

408
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:52,200
Speaker 1: what's the point? Why did I wake up today? That's

409
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:54,480
Speaker 1: basically what you're saying. Why am I? Why do I

410
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:56,240
Speaker 1: even follow this team? I'm just kidding you, Joe, I

411
00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:58,679
Speaker 1: think you're I don't think I don't think you're I

412
00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:02,840
Speaker 1: don't think you're thinking correctly. I think Look, they anticipate

413
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:04,719
Speaker 1: they'll get better play out of their quarterback. They need

414
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:07,440
Speaker 1: to get better play from Josh allen Um. But if

415
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:09,679
Speaker 1: they got a good receiver, I'm sure they would use them.

416
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:11,879
Speaker 1: The same thing at a running back. They run the

417
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:15,360
Speaker 1: ball pretty well, and numbers suggest that they can do better. Yeah,

418
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:17,159
Speaker 1: I don't know where he's what you're talking about. They

419
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:19,680
Speaker 1: don't want to run the ball. I mean they run

420
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:22,360
Speaker 1: it a lot. Now, Yeah, Okay, one more call here,

421
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:25,840
Speaker 1: Joe and Tonawanda, go ahead, Joe, Okay, now you got

422
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:30,320
Speaker 1: the right Joel. That was the wrong Joejen and Melvin Gordon?

423
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 1: What do you think about that? What are those chances?

424
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:34,879
Speaker 1: Are you going to give up? Joe's hero? Joe? But

425
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 1: go ahead? What would you give up for him? Joe's gone?

426
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:41,800
Speaker 1: He just wanted to throw it up. He dropped the mike.

427
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:47,080
Speaker 1: Here's what Joe thinks. Here's what Joe thinks. Right now,

428
00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 1: he's picturing himself as one of those big airplanes who

429
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:51,560
Speaker 1: flies over a forest fire and dumps a big bucket

430
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:54,639
Speaker 1: of water. I just put the fire up. That Just

431
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:59,360
Speaker 1: get aj Green and Melvin Gordon, and all our problems

432
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 1: are solved. Those are off to a rough start today.

433
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 1: Let's go to a Steve and Orchard Park. Steve help us, Hey, guys,

434
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:08,600
Speaker 1: how you doing. I don't know about swinging a deal.

435
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:11,480
Speaker 1: I mean, we certainly could use, in my opinion, another

436
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 1: outside receiver. John Brown's a very good receiver. Whether he's

437
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:18,919
Speaker 1: a true number one, I'm not just sure about that.

438
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:22,639
Speaker 1: He's very good. And I think, you know, a defensive

439
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:25,159
Speaker 1: lineman or an end or a tackle they show up

440
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:31,159
Speaker 1: our our you know, defensive game there. But I don't know,

441
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:33,040
Speaker 1: you know, I don't I'm not for giving up a

442
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:36,439
Speaker 1: lot of early round draft picks for guys. That's just me,

443
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:40,919
Speaker 1: um my. Only my problem is and you know, you know,

444
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:44,359
Speaker 1: I mean, everybody's calling about you know, the play calling us.

445
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:48,160
Speaker 1: My problem is this, we haven't played a really good

446
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 1: offensive game in all season for four quarters, and you know,

447
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:56,120
Speaker 1: I think there is talent here. I think there's enough

448
00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:58,320
Speaker 1: of town here, Steve. He touched on it last week

449
00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:01,880
Speaker 1: when you said we have enough of I don't. It's

450
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:07,320
Speaker 1: frustrating on why we're not coming as an offense at

451
00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 1: least twenty four points a game with the people we have.

452
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 1: And you know, people say, well, don't quite criticize Brian Dabo,

453
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:18,760
Speaker 1: but he is the CEO of the offense, correct knows

454
00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:21,720
Speaker 1: the offensive court. Yeah, go ahead, you know no, that's

455
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:26,119
Speaker 1: my point is listen, um, you know I want to

456
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:28,840
Speaker 1: have faith in him. I like our players that are here.

457
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:33,400
Speaker 1: I think we're underachieving big time on offense. That's that's

458
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:35,679
Speaker 1: my opinion. Okay, I agree with you, Steve. I think

459
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:37,280
Speaker 1: we are and I think they would agree with you too.

460
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:38,879
Speaker 1: I don't think they're hiding from the fact that they

461
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:41,400
Speaker 1: need to score more points, hang on to the football more,

462
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:45,280
Speaker 1: have more series that don't end in a three and out.

463
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:49,159
Speaker 1: They were they were that bad game this last weekend,

464
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:51,000
Speaker 1: no question about it. But we've seen it all year.

465
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:54,080
Speaker 1: They've struggled to get into the end zone consistently. And

466
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:58,600
Speaker 1: until they do, um, you know that's gonna be the big, glaring,

467
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:02,639
Speaker 1: glaring hole in their completeness as a team. Their defense

468
00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:04,960
Speaker 1: I think is solid despite what happened last week against

469
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Eagles. Uh, their ability to run the football

470
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:10,320
Speaker 1: on this team, I think they I think the Bills

471
00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:13,440
Speaker 1: can shore that up. They're a top five deep defense

472
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 1: even now. There are top five points against defense right now,

473
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:19,720
Speaker 1: even after this last Philly game. So I think their

474
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:21,800
Speaker 1: defense is going to continue to be solid. They're gonna

475
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:25,880
Speaker 1: bounce back. Uh Well, but I think offensively, they got

476
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:27,280
Speaker 1: a lot of work to do. They got a lot

477
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:31,840
Speaker 1: of consistencies and inconsistencies, consistency to work for and inconsist

478
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:35,880
Speaker 1: consistencies to get rid of. I you know, and I

479
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:39,439
Speaker 1: and I don't really for me and I know, I

480
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:41,320
Speaker 1: know I have a slanted view of this, and most

481
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:45,399
Speaker 1: people don't. Don't see. I used to play, and I

482
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:48,520
Speaker 1: still in them of the mind, even as a player.

483
00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:50,399
Speaker 1: When we go in and watch the film and whatever

484
00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:55,360
Speaker 1: play call or whatever you get, it was the players,

485
00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:58,439
Speaker 1: not the coaching staff. It wasn't the play called. We

486
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:00,639
Speaker 1: all we all saw the rational now for why they

487
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:04,600
Speaker 1: called this play run pass, short pass, long pass, screen pass,

488
00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:09,240
Speaker 1: personnel combinations, the rationale for that was always really evident

489
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:11,240
Speaker 1: to us because we knew the game plan going in,

490
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:13,520
Speaker 1: We knew what we were trying to do against that defense.

491
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 1: So when the play didn't work, while some people in

492
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:17,960
Speaker 1: the stands were saying, what are they doing that for?

493
00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:19,639
Speaker 1: Why didn't they throw it when they ran it, Why

494
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:22,159
Speaker 1: didn't they run it when they should have thrown it.

495
00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:23,920
Speaker 1: Why did they do all this stuff this way? Why

496
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:25,840
Speaker 1: did they put that person on the field. He should

497
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:27,840
Speaker 1: be off. I want my favorite player to be on

498
00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:31,280
Speaker 1: the field. You go through all these hoops, and you know,

499
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:34,000
Speaker 1: you jump through all these hoops, and you go through

500
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:36,800
Speaker 1: all these mind games about why they're picking the plays

501
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:39,720
Speaker 1: when it's very simple. The players aren't playing good enough.

502
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:42,760
Speaker 1: They're not executing what they're supposed to be doing. Even

503
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:45,440
Speaker 1: in the last week's game, even a guy as quality

504
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:48,800
Speaker 1: player like John John Brown said, listen, on that fourth

505
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:50,960
Speaker 1: and ten, Josh threw me the ball and everybody thought

506
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:52,480
Speaker 1: it was a bad past I ran the wrong route.

507
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:56,280
Speaker 1: So you got guys like that admitting say, listen, we're

508
00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:59,840
Speaker 1: executing in a poor manner. That's why we're not moving

509
00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:01,720
Speaker 1: the ball. That's why we're going three and out. That's

510
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:04,960
Speaker 1: why we're jumping off sides pre snap in the red zone.

511
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:07,879
Speaker 1: That's why we're getting holding penalties. You know, it's not

512
00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:10,920
Speaker 1: the play call. The guys have got to play better.

513
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:12,479
Speaker 1: They got to play better, and they got to win

514
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:17,000
Speaker 1: a personal matchup one on one eleven times over on

515
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:19,520
Speaker 1: one play. And when you do that, you start playing

516
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:22,400
Speaker 1: consistent football. And right now they're not doing that on offense. Steve,

517
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 1: you know, supposed Steves the caller and Steve tasker, you

518
00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:26,720
Speaker 1: know who agrees to do that. The Bills are under

519
00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:30,080
Speaker 1: achieving on offense. Sean McDermott, he said it. Yes, I

520
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:31,880
Speaker 1: just found the quote. He said, we got to continue

521
00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:34,680
Speaker 1: to grow, continue to work out. This is McDermot talking.

522
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:36,520
Speaker 1: We've got to work out some of the kinks that

523
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:39,479
Speaker 1: are preventing us from scoring points because at the end

524
00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:41,040
Speaker 1: of the day, you have to score points and we

525
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:43,560
Speaker 1: haven't scored enough points. We've got to continue to find

526
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:46,000
Speaker 1: ways to score points. Pretty simple, right, pretty basic. They

527
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:49,000
Speaker 1: average nineteen points per game. They managed to win five

528
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:52,119
Speaker 1: of seven games, averaging nineteen points per game. But McDermott

529
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:56,000
Speaker 1: knows there's issues on offense or trying to solve. I

530
00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:58,119
Speaker 1: don't think it's play calling either. I do think they

531
00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:01,879
Speaker 1: could use an injection us some talent on the offensive line,

532
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:04,560
Speaker 1: maybe at running back, maybe at receiver. But I do

533
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:07,080
Speaker 1: I think talent always helps, which is kind of where

534
00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:09,560
Speaker 1: we're at today. As far as today, the Bills off today,

535
00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:12,399
Speaker 1: players off. Cody Ford with his elbow is listed his

536
00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:15,719
Speaker 1: day to day yesterday, according to McDermott. Quarterback Levi Wallace

537
00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:17,840
Speaker 1: with the shoulder also day to day. The Bills returned

538
00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:20,040
Speaker 1: to practice tomorrow and they made an addition and a

539
00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:23,600
Speaker 1: subtraction to their practice squad today. They signed linebacker del

540
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:26,359
Speaker 1: Shan Phillips, who was an undrafted rookie and went to

541
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:30,840
Speaker 1: Atlanta and they did not make that team. Phillips played

542
00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:33,119
Speaker 1: at Illinois six two, two hundred and thirty pound rookie

543
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:35,960
Speaker 1: was with the Falcons. They released from the practice squad

544
00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:38,360
Speaker 1: linebacker in Nate Hall. You're caught up. We'll talk more

545
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:40,439
Speaker 1: about this trade deadline is today and what do you

546
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:43,000
Speaker 1: think the Bills need to do before the trade deadline?

547
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:44,320
Speaker 1: Give us a call. We got a lot of them

548
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:46,040
Speaker 1: coming up, got tweets to read, and we got a

549
00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:48,359
Speaker 1: lot to talk about today here until three one Bills

550
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:50,840
Speaker 1: I've presented by Kalaida Health. Coming to you from the

551
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:54,119
Speaker 1: Seneca Studios in Orchard Park. This is Buffalo Bills Radio.

552
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:19,720
Speaker 1: It's just laying out. So the instigators stuck around for

553
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:21,880
Speaker 1: our first segment. They're back there talking about their show,

554
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:23,600
Speaker 1: and we got what were we talking? We had advice

555
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:25,720
Speaker 1: for their show. Yeah, yeah, we have advice for the

556
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:28,360
Speaker 1: show and they and they were intently listening to. I'm

557
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:31,239
Speaker 1: sure we got our own problems here, our own show here,

558
00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:32,919
Speaker 1: I mean, and we're happy to be here. Thanks for

559
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:35,639
Speaker 1: tuning in, John Murphy and Steve Tanskar. So the trade

560
00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:38,240
Speaker 1: deadline four o'clock today. We don't know what the Bills

561
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:40,560
Speaker 1: have planned. They might have something planned. Reports out there

562
00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:42,880
Speaker 1: that Melvin Gordon might be in play for Buffalo here,

563
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:44,440
Speaker 1: just gotta tape this up here. Yeah, what do you

564
00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:47,080
Speaker 1: got going on? It's just a little reminder. Oh yeah,

565
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:50,639
Speaker 1: from my laptop. Reports out there, Manish Meta reports that

566
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:54,119
Speaker 1: h Levian Bell might be available for trade, and he

567
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:58,119
Speaker 1: mentions the Bills. Who knows, right, We got to four oclow. Listen,

568
00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:02,440
Speaker 1: how far of that where the Jets gone? Well, listen,

569
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:05,600
Speaker 1: let me just take us back to week one of

570
00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:08,760
Speaker 1: the regular season, when the Bills were going to New

571
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:13,160
Speaker 1: York to play the Jets in MetLife Stadium, Levion Bell,

572
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:17,520
Speaker 1: Sam Darnald, c J. Mosley, they were they had it together.

573
00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:20,280
Speaker 1: They spent some money in free agency, they were turning

574
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:21,800
Speaker 1: it around. They were gonna this was gonna be a

575
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:25,040
Speaker 1: year where they went the Bills escape. They remember, the

576
00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:27,879
Speaker 1: Bills were down sixteen points the fourth quarter. CJ. Mosley

577
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:30,480
Speaker 1: gets hurt, and the Bills come back, put together two

578
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:33,880
Speaker 1: long scoring drives and win the game seventeen sixteen, right

579
00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:38,359
Speaker 1: something like that. It's a really close game. And since

580
00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:43,760
Speaker 1: then the next day Darnald gets mono. Then their backup

581
00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:48,560
Speaker 1: quarterback gets hurt, they start luke fault, they lose, lose, lose,

582
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:54,160
Speaker 1: and now they're trying to trade Levion Bell. The word

583
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:58,920
Speaker 1: is I feel guilty about taking the Jets at all. Seriously,

584
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:02,480
Speaker 1: during the offseason, and at one point, probably right before

585
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:04,960
Speaker 1: the Bills Jets game, the opener I thought, Man, the Jets,

586
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:07,320
Speaker 1: maybe they're the second best team in the AFCs. No,

587
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:09,560
Speaker 1: they're not. We had questions. They don't have a they

588
00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:11,080
Speaker 1: don't have a program in place. They got a bad

589
00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:13,240
Speaker 1: head coach who's not really a head coach. He's a

590
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:15,439
Speaker 1: play caller with his face buried in the call sheet,

591
00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:16,879
Speaker 1: and he didn't know how to run a team. He

592
00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:19,280
Speaker 1: doesn't know how to handle players. He was there when

593
00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:21,560
Speaker 1: they traded for Levion Bell, apparently didn't want him, and

594
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:24,080
Speaker 1: now they're looking at according to minish Mena, maybe getting

595
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:26,879
Speaker 1: rid of Levion Bell. I mean, what what are you doing, Jets?

596
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:30,800
Speaker 1: What are you doing? I apologize for taking at all,

597
00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:34,320
Speaker 1: taking them seriously as a contender, a team that might

598
00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:36,760
Speaker 1: challenge the Buffalo Bills. It's not happening, not this year,

599
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:39,320
Speaker 1: probably not for a couple of years. How's that? Well,

600
00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:41,160
Speaker 1: they got thirty million bucks tied up into a guy

601
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 1: they're trying to trade, right, I mean that's what they're doing. Yea.

602
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:50,160
Speaker 1: And for whatever you think about Adam Gays, he's right.

603
00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:52,680
Speaker 1: You don't pay that kind of money to that guy.

604
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:55,560
Speaker 1: We should have been right and should have been the

605
00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:57,640
Speaker 1: third round. Sorry, he should have been more assertive about

606
00:28:57,680 --> 00:28:59,600
Speaker 1: it when they made the deal. I don't want that guy.

607
00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:01,480
Speaker 1: I don't like that guy. We don't need that guy,

608
00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:04,920
Speaker 1: right Instead, Yeah, and you got you got a guy.

609
00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:06,760
Speaker 1: We got a guy who's headed to the Hall of

610
00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:09,880
Speaker 1: Fame on a one year deal, who's playing really well.

611
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:12,000
Speaker 1: We got a guy in the third round behind him

612
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:14,920
Speaker 1: who everybody wants to see more of. You can look

613
00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:18,920
Speaker 1: around the league and they're riding. Alvin Kamara is tearing

614
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:22,080
Speaker 1: it up in the NFL. He's a fifth rounder. You

615
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:24,360
Speaker 1: don't need to paid thirty million bucks to that guy.

616
00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:28,880
Speaker 1: Come on here, what planner are you on? What are

617
00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:30,760
Speaker 1: the Bills need to do ahead of the train deadline?

618
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:32,280
Speaker 1: What do you think of us? A call eight oh

619
00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:34,920
Speaker 1: three five fifty toll free one eight eight eight five

620
00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:37,840
Speaker 1: fifty two five fifty. We'll take your tweets as well.

621
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:39,480
Speaker 1: We got the tweet sheet here, brought to you by

622
00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:42,920
Speaker 1: Cargan Moving Systems, the official movers of the Buffalo Bills.

623
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:45,680
Speaker 1: Tiffany gets us going on the tweet sheet. She says,

624
00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:49,080
Speaker 1: the offense feels like it's spinning its wheels. Adding a

625
00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:51,120
Speaker 1: weapon at this point standing in five and two can

626
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:53,640
Speaker 1: only help A skill position player would keep help, would

627
00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:56,440
Speaker 1: help keep defenses a bit more on us. Basing nine

628
00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:59,040
Speaker 1: man fronts makes it challenging for the run the ball effectively,

629
00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:01,360
Speaker 1: it could open up the offense. She makes good points

630
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:04,440
Speaker 1: she always does the offense, Yeah, spinning its Wheels. I mean,

631
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:07,520
Speaker 1: here they are going into the eighth game of the

632
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:10,640
Speaker 1: season and there's still what twenty sixth and points scored

633
00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:12,760
Speaker 1: per game and twenty third overall on offense. And they

634
00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:16,360
Speaker 1: run it okay, they don't throw it well at all. Added,

635
00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:19,000
Speaker 1: a weapon can't hurt if it's I guess the question

636
00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:21,440
Speaker 1: today is three and a half hours for the deadline.

637
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:23,240
Speaker 1: How much you want to spend to get a weapon

638
00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:25,680
Speaker 1: for offense. That's that's an interesting question. I don't have

639
00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:29,200
Speaker 1: the answer. I don't either. It's but we all say,

640
00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:30,960
Speaker 1: you know, we're looking more at the offense than we

641
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:33,640
Speaker 1: are the defense. The defense, despite what happening, is Philly there.

642
00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:37,120
Speaker 1: I think there's a quality defense. Certainly they were hurt

643
00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:39,000
Speaker 1: by Harrison Phillips not being in there, and I think

644
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:41,680
Speaker 1: in the last couple of weeks their run defense has

645
00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:44,080
Speaker 1: had some things happened that we didn't anticipate. I mean,

646
00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:45,880
Speaker 1: they got the Dolphins ran it up on them a

647
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:47,640
Speaker 1: little bit, and now that the Eagles ran for two

648
00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:49,600
Speaker 1: hundred and eighteen on them, so they got to get

649
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:55,400
Speaker 1: that fixed. Maybe that maybe they think inside the coach's

650
00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:57,960
Speaker 1: office and that's a bigger issue than getting an extra

651
00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:04,280
Speaker 1: guy a wide receiver, then it is you know, then

652
00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:06,479
Speaker 1: getting a wide receiver or a piece on offense. So

653
00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:10,239
Speaker 1: maybe they think run defense is a higher priority at

654
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:12,200
Speaker 1: this point after a couple of weeks. I doubt that,

655
00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:16,080
Speaker 1: but there's always that out there, and I'm yeah, I

656
00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:17,640
Speaker 1: don't know. We got a lot of we got an

657
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:19,160
Speaker 1: everybody wants to get in on this. What are the

658
00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:21,480
Speaker 1: Bills need to get ahead of the trade deadline? From

659
00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:24,040
Speaker 1: Dougie in from the tweet sheet, This regime loves the rotation.

660
00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:27,000
Speaker 1: If we make additions at all, I see depth editions.

661
00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:29,200
Speaker 1: We could really use some more D line O line

662
00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:31,440
Speaker 1: linebacker helping. My opinion with that being said, if we

663
00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:35,000
Speaker 1: get a big name guy, I won't be crying tonight.

664
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:38,320
Speaker 1: And right, I mean, well, I think what that responded

665
00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:41,560
Speaker 1: Dougie on Twitter says kind of falls into option number two.

666
00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:44,320
Speaker 1: Will the Bills? Do the Bills need to make a

667
00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:48,280
Speaker 1: deal and that comes under minor adjustment? Right? Um, there

668
00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:50,160
Speaker 1: are those I think I saw a tweet about this

669
00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:52,760
Speaker 1: who said, well, what's the point making a minor adjustment?

670
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:54,360
Speaker 1: What difference is that going to make? And I get that.

671
00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:56,600
Speaker 1: I don't think they need a big splash. Let me

672
00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:58,600
Speaker 1: say that. I'm trying. I'm struggling to answer our own

673
00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:00,840
Speaker 1: Twitter poll. I don't think and I don't. I don't

674
00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:03,840
Speaker 1: think a big splash edition is necessary and I don't

675
00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:06,720
Speaker 1: look for that to happen. A minor adjustment maybe doesn't

676
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:11,400
Speaker 1: make a difference. Maybe that they need depth. They might

677
00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:14,280
Speaker 1: need depth, you know, in the defensive line in particular.

678
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:17,360
Speaker 1: So I don't know. I'm kind of they make a

679
00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:19,880
Speaker 1: deal fine, Like the guy said, yeah, I won't be

680
00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:21,680
Speaker 1: crying tonight if they make a big deal. If they

681
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:23,360
Speaker 1: don't make a big deal, I won't be crying. I'm

682
00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:25,040
Speaker 1: still the mind that they got enough guys in the

683
00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:27,560
Speaker 1: room to get it done now. If they just click

684
00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:30,600
Speaker 1: offensive with they just execute better offensively. I think they

685
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:32,600
Speaker 1: got enough talent there now. I think they got enough

686
00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:35,880
Speaker 1: guys there now to get to the playoffs. And once

687
00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:38,400
Speaker 1: you get in the playoffs, you can beat anybody, so

688
00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:41,800
Speaker 1: as we've seen. So I'm of mine that they got

689
00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:45,400
Speaker 1: enough guys now now. Certainly, and I always say this,

690
00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:49,880
Speaker 1: good players make you better. Better players make you better.

691
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:52,800
Speaker 1: But I don't think there's anything holding them back now

692
00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:56,360
Speaker 1: except what's between their ears. You know, you got guys

693
00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:58,880
Speaker 1: you got. I think they make too many mistakes offensively.

694
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:03,280
Speaker 1: I think that's what's holding them back and until they,

695
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:06,520
Speaker 1: you know, shore that up and start hitting on the

696
00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:08,520
Speaker 1: cylinders they should hit. I think their offensive line is

697
00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:10,720
Speaker 1: good enough. I think their receivers are good enough, and

698
00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:12,960
Speaker 1: running backs are good enough, and it all comes down

699
00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:15,880
Speaker 1: to Josh getting the ball to those guys and doing

700
00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:18,640
Speaker 1: what he can do. And if they can do that

701
00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:20,880
Speaker 1: and execute their plays and do the things, I'm not

702
00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:22,920
Speaker 1: it's not about the plays that are called. It's about

703
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:25,800
Speaker 1: the way they're running those plays that is holding them

704
00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:28,520
Speaker 1: back now. So I'm not Surely they can make a

705
00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:30,800
Speaker 1: great up trade and maybe it'll help on the d

706
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:33,160
Speaker 1: line rotation, or maybe their wide receiver will be better

707
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:37,960
Speaker 1: than the guys they've got now. But I'm okay with

708
00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:39,479
Speaker 1: where they are now because I think they can get

709
00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:41,520
Speaker 1: into the playoffs, and once they get in there, anything

710
00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:43,240
Speaker 1: can happen. I think that's all you can hope for.

711
00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:46,200
Speaker 1: One more from the tweet sheet from Nick, he tweets

712
00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:47,920
Speaker 1: in I don't think we need a big splash, but

713
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:50,280
Speaker 1: if we do trade for someone like that, I could

714
00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:54,000
Speaker 1: only justify doing it for the defensive line. Huh. He

715
00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:57,080
Speaker 1: says With Harrison out, Oliver is still developing and starting

716
00:33:57,160 --> 00:33:58,840
Speaker 1: not doing as well as last year. A big name

717
00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:03,240
Speaker 1: d lineman could be useful. I don't know about that.

718
00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:06,040
Speaker 1: I don't know, well it could it be useful? Yeah,

719
00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:07,720
Speaker 1: do you want to give up what it would take

720
00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:10,640
Speaker 1: to get a defensive lineman, a big name defensive lineman.

721
00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:13,200
Speaker 1: That's the part that depends on how big. But yeah,

722
00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:15,200
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't want to give up premium picks

723
00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:18,840
Speaker 1: at a position that you know you need some help.

724
00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:20,520
Speaker 1: But I don't know if you need a big name.

725
00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:23,440
Speaker 1: I think name miss Harrison Phillips. He was playing really

726
00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:26,080
Speaker 1: well early in the season when he got hurt and

727
00:34:26,200 --> 00:34:28,960
Speaker 1: I think that I think I hurt what in the

728
00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:31,440
Speaker 1: Cincinnati games Week three, right, I mean I think that's

729
00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:35,480
Speaker 1: when he went down and played in the Jets and

730
00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:37,239
Speaker 1: the Giants, and I think he got hurt in the

731
00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:42,800
Speaker 1: at home against the Bengals. Maybe not. Anyway, he was

732
00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:44,799
Speaker 1: playing extremely well earlier this year. He was the guy

733
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:47,520
Speaker 1: who was making the line calls, the defensive line calls,

734
00:34:47,520 --> 00:34:50,200
Speaker 1: the past stunt calls. Um. He had really taken a

735
00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:52,359
Speaker 1: step forward mentally this year, and now you know they

736
00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:57,480
Speaker 1: lost him, so so I think, you know, you'd find

737
00:34:57,520 --> 00:34:59,959
Speaker 1: a guy to replace his production or replace his mode,

738
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:02,200
Speaker 1: or you know, maybe even play better than he was

739
00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:06,120
Speaker 1: able to. Yeah, that would be great and certainly would

740
00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:08,200
Speaker 1: help the run defense. If they indeed think there's a

741
00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:12,160
Speaker 1: real massive problem in there. I doubt that they do,

742
00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:16,759
Speaker 1: but I see it and I'm up for anything because

743
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:18,840
Speaker 1: I here's the thing, Murph, I got total faith in

744
00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:21,200
Speaker 1: what they're doing up there. I've seen him make all

745
00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:23,839
Speaker 1: these moves over the last two years with Brandon Bean

746
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:26,719
Speaker 1: in three years with Sean McDermott. I loved everything they've done.

747
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:30,880
Speaker 1: I've been I've I've been pleasantly surprised by all the

748
00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:33,560
Speaker 1: moves and the philosophy that they've been able to stick to,

749
00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:35,440
Speaker 1: because we see so many teams come in with a

750
00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:37,759
Speaker 1: philosophy and all of a sudden, the shiny new thing

751
00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:40,560
Speaker 1: gets get you and you're you're overpaying for somebody, you know.

752
00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:45,239
Speaker 1: So I love the discipline they've shown. So I'm I'm

753
00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:48,279
Speaker 1: actuously to see if they do make a move what

754
00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:51,839
Speaker 1: it's going to be, because I think they know better

755
00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:54,160
Speaker 1: than we do, and I think it'll be really telling

756
00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:56,440
Speaker 1: what the move they do make. Now, maybe it will

757
00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:58,400
Speaker 1: be a limited move because they can't find a partner

758
00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:00,759
Speaker 1: and they wanted to do more. But I think even

759
00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:02,600
Speaker 1: that tells us that, hey, they are not going to

760
00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:04,560
Speaker 1: go outside the lines. They're not going to overpay for

761
00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:08,760
Speaker 1: something because I think this year is the ultimate chance

762
00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:11,240
Speaker 1: they're ever gonna have here and now and going forward.

763
00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:13,319
Speaker 1: I don't think they have that mindset. I think they're here.

764
00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:16,160
Speaker 1: They feel like they're here to stay, and they're gonna

765
00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:18,440
Speaker 1: play this and go with what they got and having

766
00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:20,239
Speaker 1: a faith in what they've done already that they're gonna

767
00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:21,680
Speaker 1: have enough to get in the playoffs. To a call

768
00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:24,480
Speaker 1: here from Mike and Florida. Hello, Mike, Welcome to the show.

769
00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:29,560
Speaker 1: Hey guys, thanks for taking my call. Sure for me,

770
00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:32,439
Speaker 1: I think it's one tech defensive tackle. I think that's

771
00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:34,960
Speaker 1: where we gotta go. I mean, for the past couple

772
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:36,880
Speaker 1: of weeks now and you have the Dolphins running right

773
00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:38,560
Speaker 1: down your throw and then you have the Eagles still

774
00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:40,480
Speaker 1: in the same thing. I mean, this is becoming a trend.

775
00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:43,760
Speaker 1: And with the getting later in the year, the season

776
00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:45,880
Speaker 1: change in the weather, I mean, that's just where it's

777
00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:47,520
Speaker 1: gonna go. It's gonna go to the running game. So

778
00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:49,040
Speaker 1: I think that's why they give this issue. You know,

779
00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:50,959
Speaker 1: the Eagles had twice as many yards on the ground

780
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:54,279
Speaker 1: as the Dolphins. I know that the Bills were disappointed

781
00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:56,880
Speaker 1: they didn't play better run defense against Miami, but that

782
00:36:57,800 --> 00:37:02,160
Speaker 1: it was not a disaster, wasn't Mike? In the first

783
00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:05,200
Speaker 1: I was at the game actually a scoreboard, end zone side,

784
00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:07,080
Speaker 1: and even in the first half, it seemed like there

785
00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:09,200
Speaker 1: was a lot of holes that maybe Howard missed. Even

786
00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:11,160
Speaker 1: in the first half. That was a little concerning. And

787
00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:13,480
Speaker 1: even going into the game, that's what I was concerned about,

788
00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:16,600
Speaker 1: was just a running game. And I'll even give you

789
00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:19,560
Speaker 1: a name. I was reading an article from philbus Gallia,

790
00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:23,880
Speaker 1: what about Andrew Billings from the Bengalsh You know, I

791
00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:26,040
Speaker 1: don't think he'll be I mean, I think of one

792
00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:29,040
Speaker 1: should be out of the question, but you know, anything

793
00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:30,960
Speaker 1: from a two on down I think should be in

794
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:35,359
Speaker 1: the discussion. Well, I'm I'm I get you and Mike

795
00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:38,120
Speaker 1: and I if the price is right, if the guy

796
00:37:38,239 --> 00:37:40,520
Speaker 1: is right, then the price is right too, right. I mean,

797
00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:43,400
Speaker 1: if your guy, if you're gonna give up something like that,

798
00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:45,719
Speaker 1: that guy better be really good, and he'd better be

799
00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:48,879
Speaker 1: really good, like right now, and he'd better be here

800
00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:51,120
Speaker 1: for a handful of years. If you're gonna give up

801
00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:54,239
Speaker 1: a two or three, or particularly a one, he'd better

802
00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:56,680
Speaker 1: be here for more than a handful of years. So

803
00:37:56,880 --> 00:37:58,640
Speaker 1: if the price, if the guy is right, and the

804
00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:01,799
Speaker 1: price is there, get do it. I'm totally with you.

805
00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:05,839
Speaker 1: But I hope and I know this too. I don't

806
00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:09,160
Speaker 1: think this organization with Brandon, Bean and McDermott, they won't

807
00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:11,000
Speaker 1: step outside the lines. They're not going to lose their

808
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:14,400
Speaker 1: discipline over a shiny object on the store shelf. But

809
00:38:14,520 --> 00:38:16,960
Speaker 1: I get you that, I get you with a run defense,

810
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:19,680
Speaker 1: go ahead. I agree that is the way to go.

811
00:38:19,760 --> 00:38:21,920
Speaker 1: But I see we have a window here. I mean,

812
00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:24,719
Speaker 1: it's not often not a schedule comes up like this,

813
00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:27,000
Speaker 1: and we have to take advantage because once you get

814
00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:29,920
Speaker 1: into the tournament, anything can happen. But getting there, we

815
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:33,279
Speaker 1: have been given this road to get there. We've got

816
00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:36,880
Speaker 1: to take advantage of this window. That's my feeling on it.

817
00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:39,480
Speaker 1: But I agree that we should first is too much,

818
00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:42,960
Speaker 1: but anything from two on down we should probably work with.

819
00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:45,400
Speaker 1: And if I could just say something about the offense

820
00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:47,560
Speaker 1: as well, that it drives me crazy when people call

821
00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:50,720
Speaker 1: and complain about the offense, nine new starters at twenty

822
00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:54,759
Speaker 1: three year old second year quarterback, who everyone is still

823
00:38:54,760 --> 00:38:57,359
Speaker 1: coming together. I think it's more personnel group edents. Get

824
00:38:57,440 --> 00:39:00,759
Speaker 1: Isaiah McKenzie and there more Devin single Terry and I

825
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:04,040
Speaker 1: think we're just keep on going with what we got. Like,

826
00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:06,200
Speaker 1: tell me what you like about what you know about

827
00:39:06,239 --> 00:39:10,080
Speaker 1: Andrew Billings, if you would please? What's that Andrew Billings?

828
00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:13,600
Speaker 1: Why would he be a target for you? Twenty four

829
00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:16,760
Speaker 1: years old, three hundred and thirty pounds. It just seems

830
00:39:16,760 --> 00:39:20,319
Speaker 1: like right age, it's a right position. Just things I've

831
00:39:20,360 --> 00:39:22,520
Speaker 1: read on him. I mean, I haven't watched every Bengals game.

832
00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:24,680
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie to you, but from what I've seen,

833
00:39:24,719 --> 00:39:26,520
Speaker 1: he seems like a pretty good player to me. And

834
00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:29,319
Speaker 1: it looks like you would sit with us. Okay, So yeah,

835
00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:31,360
Speaker 1: if Andrew Billings a player like that? You want a

836
00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:35,319
Speaker 1: big time, a big body, young yes, who can play. Yeah,

837
00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:37,560
Speaker 1: and I get that. That's that sounds great. And I'll

838
00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:39,440
Speaker 1: tell you what. You make a great point, Mike about

839
00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:41,720
Speaker 1: this being a window and not just for the Bills.

840
00:39:41,719 --> 00:39:43,200
Speaker 1: I know, and I just said, you know, the Bills

841
00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:45,200
Speaker 1: are built for this for a long haul they're gonna

842
00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:47,719
Speaker 1: be They want to be sustainable year to year to year.

843
00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:49,840
Speaker 1: They want to be in the conversation in the playoffs

844
00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:53,160
Speaker 1: or in the conversation in week seventeen about getting in

845
00:39:53,239 --> 00:39:56,120
Speaker 1: playing their own way in, and they want to be there.

846
00:39:56,160 --> 00:39:58,920
Speaker 1: But you make a great point. They're playing the Washington

847
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:01,480
Speaker 1: Redskins who have won one game coming up, the Cleveland

848
00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:03,520
Speaker 1: Browns who are a train wreck coming up, the Miami

849
00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:06,000
Speaker 1: Dolphins who are winless coming up, the two and six

850
00:40:06,080 --> 00:40:09,080
Speaker 1: Denver Broncos coming up. And then you've got you know,

851
00:40:09,239 --> 00:40:10,960
Speaker 1: so you've got some and the Jets at the end

852
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:13,360
Speaker 1: of the season. Yeah, the fourth easiest schedule. Yeah, you

853
00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:16,920
Speaker 1: got the fourth easiest schedule. So I know how enticing

854
00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:19,120
Speaker 1: it is to maybe go all in on a year

855
00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:23,359
Speaker 1: like this, But I still think it's more important to

856
00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:26,640
Speaker 1: think about being here. You gotta think two And I'm

857
00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:29,360
Speaker 1: not saying they do this, but from the outside looking in,

858
00:40:30,640 --> 00:40:33,040
Speaker 1: if I'm Brandon being to Sean McDermott, I want to

859
00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:34,960
Speaker 1: make sure I got a job here next year, in

860
00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:36,440
Speaker 1: the year after, the year after. I'm not gonna go

861
00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:38,200
Speaker 1: all in on this year and then take a year

862
00:40:38,239 --> 00:40:40,480
Speaker 1: off and then lose my job. In eighteen months. You know,

863
00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:42,960
Speaker 1: they want to be here for fifteen years. The two

864
00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:45,319
Speaker 1: of these guys, they want to build this thing. So

865
00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:48,759
Speaker 1: they're in the conversation like a John Harbaugh is like,

866
00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:54,960
Speaker 1: I'm like all these coaches like Bill Belichick, like Mike

867
00:40:56,120 --> 00:40:58,359
Speaker 1: Tomlin in Pittsburgh. They want to be one of these

868
00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:01,359
Speaker 1: groups that are in place for a decade or more,

869
00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:06,480
Speaker 1: winning games because and being there because they are in

870
00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:09,040
Speaker 1: the conversation for the playoffs every single year, and that's

871
00:41:09,080 --> 00:41:10,600
Speaker 1: what they want to do. So I don't think they're

872
00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:15,239
Speaker 1: going to sabotage that just for an easy schedule at

873
00:41:15,239 --> 00:41:18,200
Speaker 1: the second half of this season. That's a question, and

874
00:41:18,239 --> 00:41:20,879
Speaker 1: it's an important consideration, and we talked about We've talked

875
00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:22,879
Speaker 1: about it for a couple of weeks. The self evaluation,

876
00:41:23,080 --> 00:41:27,120
Speaker 1: are we are If you're Brandon Bean and Sean McDermott,

877
00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:29,960
Speaker 1: are we in position to challenge for a championship this year?

878
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:32,399
Speaker 1: What do you think can we make one or two

879
00:41:32,480 --> 00:41:36,160
Speaker 1: moves that would put us in championship contention today in

880
00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:39,320
Speaker 1: the next couple of hours. That's a difficult question. I

881
00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:41,080
Speaker 1: don't know how they would answer that. I'd love to

882
00:41:41,120 --> 00:41:43,040
Speaker 1: find out what they think of their not what do

883
00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:45,000
Speaker 1: they think of the prospects out there Andrew Billings and

884
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:46,399
Speaker 1: all that, but what do they think of their own

885
00:41:46,760 --> 00:41:48,440
Speaker 1: group and what do they think of their own chances?

886
00:41:48,480 --> 00:41:50,759
Speaker 1: And how Look? I think we're going to get the

887
00:41:50,920 --> 00:41:52,960
Speaker 1: Brandon bean on the show this week, maybe even as

888
00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:54,880
Speaker 1: soon as tomorrow. But that's the question one of the

889
00:41:54,920 --> 00:41:57,399
Speaker 1: questions I want to know, like what do you see

890
00:41:57,440 --> 00:41:59,560
Speaker 1: on your team that where do you think you're going right?

891
00:41:59,600 --> 00:42:02,359
Speaker 1: Do you contending for a championship now? Good? Next year?

892
00:42:02,440 --> 00:42:03,920
Speaker 1: How good are you? How good do you think you are?

893
00:42:03,960 --> 00:42:06,719
Speaker 1: Those those questions I think are just as important as

894
00:42:06,719 --> 00:42:08,319
Speaker 1: who you might be able to get into trade? And

895
00:42:08,360 --> 00:42:11,480
Speaker 1: I think I think also it is the of the

896
00:42:11,520 --> 00:42:14,920
Speaker 1: menu of phone calls that they've made and the deals

897
00:42:14,920 --> 00:42:18,160
Speaker 1: that have been out there, floated out there and talked about,

898
00:42:18,200 --> 00:42:21,520
Speaker 1: and the prices to be paid and the and the

899
00:42:21,560 --> 00:42:25,720
Speaker 1: benefits to be had from a trade. Do they think

900
00:42:25,840 --> 00:42:29,040
Speaker 1: you know what? Or the likeliest, do they think there's

901
00:42:29,080 --> 00:42:31,239
Speaker 1: somebody out there or trade that's out there that is

902
00:42:31,239 --> 00:42:35,080
Speaker 1: a magic potion, which I kind of doubt, Or is

903
00:42:35,080 --> 00:42:36,879
Speaker 1: there a guy over here that's like, you know what,

904
00:42:36,920 --> 00:42:38,360
Speaker 1: we're not you know, it's not going to be a

905
00:42:38,360 --> 00:42:39,920
Speaker 1: difference maker. But I'll tell you what, We're going to

906
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:43,400
Speaker 1: be significantly better in one small area that we've struggled,

907
00:42:43,520 --> 00:42:46,560
Speaker 1: and we're gonna make that move for that reason. Long

908
00:42:46,719 --> 00:42:49,000
Speaker 1: the guy's gonna be here long term, and he's gonna

909
00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:51,880
Speaker 1: help us fix a problem that we've seen happening on

910
00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:54,239
Speaker 1: our roster. That kind of thing I think is more

911
00:42:54,320 --> 00:42:57,040
Speaker 1: likely to happen for this club at this point in

912
00:42:57,120 --> 00:43:00,480
Speaker 1: history than say, we've got If you could go out

913
00:43:00,520 --> 00:43:03,680
Speaker 1: and get like a Levion Bell or Melvin Gordon, that man,

914
00:43:03,719 --> 00:43:05,480
Speaker 1: oh man, all of a sudden, our offense is going

915
00:43:05,520 --> 00:43:08,719
Speaker 1: to click big time. I don't know that that's their

916
00:43:08,840 --> 00:43:11,840
Speaker 1: favorite there. I don't think it's my thing thinking maybe

917
00:43:11,840 --> 00:43:14,960
Speaker 1: some of you out there listening think that Melvin Gordon

918
00:43:15,080 --> 00:43:17,240
Speaker 1: or Levion Bell is going to be a magic potion.

919
00:43:18,080 --> 00:43:21,279
Speaker 1: I don't believe it, but that's the that's the point

920
00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:23,800
Speaker 1: I'm making. If they thought there was a magic potion

921
00:43:23,800 --> 00:43:26,319
Speaker 1: out there, they would probably be, you know, willing to

922
00:43:26,360 --> 00:43:29,000
Speaker 1: pay a price for that, right. Yeah. But I think

923
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:30,920
Speaker 1: it's more likely that they're they're looking for guys that

924
00:43:30,920 --> 00:43:32,360
Speaker 1: are just going to say, hey, listen, we need to

925
00:43:32,360 --> 00:43:34,520
Speaker 1: get deeper on the defensive. Line. We need to get bigger,

926
00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:37,360
Speaker 1: we need to get more stout. We need more size

927
00:43:37,360 --> 00:43:39,879
Speaker 1: in our linebacking corps. Or we need one more really

928
00:43:39,920 --> 00:43:42,080
Speaker 1: good cover guy, or we need a big time one

929
00:43:42,160 --> 00:43:44,399
Speaker 1: number one receiver or a tight end or whatever whatever,

930
00:43:44,440 --> 00:43:46,960
Speaker 1: whatever go down the list. We all have the thing

931
00:43:46,960 --> 00:43:50,000
Speaker 1: that we think. I think it's more likely that they

932
00:43:50,080 --> 00:43:52,799
Speaker 1: think there's some small need that they could fix more

933
00:43:52,800 --> 00:43:56,480
Speaker 1: readily with a deal before the deadline breakcare. We're coming

934
00:43:56,480 --> 00:43:58,840
Speaker 1: back One Bill's Life, presented by Kalada Health from the

935
00:43:58,880 --> 00:44:02,040
Speaker 1: Seneca Studio in Archer Park. This is Buffalo Bill's Radio.

936
00:44:13,560 --> 00:44:19,399
Speaker 1: Keep right, Welcome back, John Murphy, Steve Tansker, something different. Yeah,

937
00:44:19,640 --> 00:44:22,240
Speaker 1: Steve talking about lunch, trying to figure out the origin

938
00:44:22,280 --> 00:44:24,200
Speaker 1: of his lunch and it. Most of us been in

939
00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:27,160
Speaker 1: that position that we don't know where it's come from.

940
00:44:27,160 --> 00:44:28,879
Speaker 1: But the worst part is when you open your own

941
00:44:28,880 --> 00:44:31,520
Speaker 1: refrigerator at home and you can't detect the origin. Where

942
00:44:31,560 --> 00:44:36,480
Speaker 1: did this come from? Honey? What is this? How old?

943
00:44:37,400 --> 00:44:41,480
Speaker 1: I wouldn't all right, yeah, but you wouldn't. I know. Yes,

944
00:44:41,920 --> 00:44:43,840
Speaker 1: I'm talking about you. I'm talking about me. Can I

945
00:44:43,880 --> 00:44:46,560
Speaker 1: eat this? Right? Hey? We got com Brandt coming up

946
00:44:46,560 --> 00:44:48,600
Speaker 1: at one o'clock on the show today, we're gonna talk

947
00:44:48,600 --> 00:44:50,360
Speaker 1: about the trade deadline. He's looking for the bill to

948
00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:52,359
Speaker 1: make a move. I want to see some weapons here.

949
00:44:52,400 --> 00:44:53,960
Speaker 1: What do you think give us a call eight three

950
00:44:54,160 --> 00:44:57,120
Speaker 1: five fifty toll free one eight eight eight five fifty

951
00:44:57,160 --> 00:44:59,520
Speaker 1: two five fifty. Look, the show is going to be

952
00:45:00,239 --> 00:45:03,280
Speaker 1: consumed by the trade deadline at four many bills, fans

953
00:45:03,320 --> 00:45:06,040
Speaker 1: are all consumed by the trade deadline. I will say

954
00:45:06,040 --> 00:45:07,920
Speaker 1: this to even you've been here, although the deadline is

955
00:45:07,920 --> 00:45:10,640
Speaker 1: different now than your career. I don't think the players

956
00:45:10,680 --> 00:45:12,800
Speaker 1: are coaches are even thinking about it to you. I

957
00:45:12,840 --> 00:45:15,120
Speaker 1: mean they're they're really turning their attention now to the

958
00:45:15,120 --> 00:45:17,480
Speaker 1: walk to the Washington. Yeah, they can now now McDermott

959
00:45:17,520 --> 00:45:20,680
Speaker 1: will have a hand in it. Um, he'll have a

960
00:45:20,719 --> 00:45:24,879
Speaker 1: meeting with with uh Brandon Bean and Brandon say here's

961
00:45:24,920 --> 00:45:26,719
Speaker 1: what we're got going on. And think Brandon pops it

962
00:45:26,719 --> 00:45:28,879
Speaker 1: in a couple of times today. Absolutely, what do you think? Hey?

963
00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:31,239
Speaker 1: What if I could exactly know? And yeah, I think

964
00:45:31,360 --> 00:45:34,279
Speaker 1: McDermott is very tuned to The players can't be. They

965
00:45:34,320 --> 00:45:37,239
Speaker 1: don't because they're not here, because they realize how complicated

966
00:45:37,360 --> 00:45:39,320
Speaker 1: is and they don't they know like six guys around

967
00:45:39,320 --> 00:45:42,800
Speaker 1: the league, and Brandon Bean and his and his staff

968
00:45:42,840 --> 00:45:45,880
Speaker 1: they know, you know, two thousand. So there's the difference.

969
00:45:45,920 --> 00:45:47,840
Speaker 1: They know guys, and they know guys who are available,

970
00:45:47,840 --> 00:45:49,839
Speaker 1: they know a price for him, they know the marketplace

971
00:45:49,880 --> 00:45:52,839
Speaker 1: and all that. So the players, it's so overwhelming for them.

972
00:45:52,840 --> 00:45:54,719
Speaker 1: They're just like, all right, whatever, let's see. But I

973
00:45:54,760 --> 00:45:57,080
Speaker 1: think this and somebody brought it up as well just

974
00:45:57,239 --> 00:46:01,640
Speaker 1: in passing. You know, Sean McDermott reaches, Hey, it's a

975
00:46:01,719 --> 00:46:04,560
Speaker 1: growth mindset. We got to get better all the time.

976
00:46:06,320 --> 00:46:13,120
Speaker 1: If you're preaching that, does it not parallel a front

977
00:46:13,200 --> 00:46:16,760
Speaker 1: office that says we got to get better? Absolutely So

978
00:46:17,000 --> 00:46:20,480
Speaker 1: by standing pat does it send a message? Does it

979
00:46:20,520 --> 00:46:22,520
Speaker 1: send one of two messages, either like, hey, we like

980
00:46:22,600 --> 00:46:27,040
Speaker 1: our guys, or two, we don't want to make a

981
00:46:27,080 --> 00:46:29,439
Speaker 1: move for whatever. You know, we're not trying to get better.

982
00:46:29,480 --> 00:46:31,319
Speaker 1: We didn't go out and find somebody to help you

983
00:46:31,360 --> 00:46:33,279
Speaker 1: guys win. You know what I'm saying. If you could

984
00:46:33,280 --> 00:46:34,719
Speaker 1: take it on either side, but I think most of

985
00:46:34,719 --> 00:46:36,680
Speaker 1: the players would say would take it. And because I

986
00:46:36,719 --> 00:46:39,120
Speaker 1: know that's the message that mcderbott would give, say, listen,

987
00:46:39,120 --> 00:46:40,680
Speaker 1: we got the guys in the room. Now let's go.

988
00:46:41,080 --> 00:46:42,840
Speaker 1: And I think that would be motivating for the players

989
00:46:42,840 --> 00:46:44,719
Speaker 1: in the locker room. But on the other hand, it

990
00:46:44,719 --> 00:46:47,080
Speaker 1: would be positive too, and says, hey, we expect you

991
00:46:47,120 --> 00:46:49,600
Speaker 1: guys to get better. We're trying to help you get better.

992
00:46:49,600 --> 00:46:51,480
Speaker 1: We're trying to win games. And here's our here's proof

993
00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:55,000
Speaker 1: of it. We traded for this guy. So all of

994
00:46:55,000 --> 00:46:57,080
Speaker 1: it's going to be spun positive in the locker room.

995
00:46:57,440 --> 00:47:01,680
Speaker 1: But it's interesting that if this growth mindset goes all

996
00:47:01,680 --> 00:47:04,680
Speaker 1: the way to the top, so face it extends to

997
00:47:05,360 --> 00:47:07,400
Speaker 1: every part of the building, right, don't you think we

998
00:47:07,440 --> 00:47:10,520
Speaker 1: all feel it. McDermott was asked yesterday about the Philadelphia

999
00:47:10,560 --> 00:47:12,960
Speaker 1: loss when what it means for the future, and he

1000
00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:15,120
Speaker 1: was asked, in particular, what lessons did you and your

1001
00:47:15,120 --> 00:47:18,200
Speaker 1: team learn from the tough loss against the Eagles on Sunday.

1002
00:47:18,200 --> 00:47:23,560
Speaker 1: Here was John mcdermot's response. There's many lessons. Um. You know,

1003
00:47:23,640 --> 00:47:26,440
Speaker 1: you start by a and knowing it's a week to

1004
00:47:26,440 --> 00:47:28,640
Speaker 1: week league, and we've talked a lot about that. Um,

1005
00:47:28,880 --> 00:47:32,120
Speaker 1: knowing that that team was urgent coming in here because

1006
00:47:32,120 --> 00:47:34,840
Speaker 1: of where their season was and and respecting that. And

1007
00:47:34,880 --> 00:47:37,560
Speaker 1: then there's also the focus on us of hey, the

1008
00:47:37,600 --> 00:47:41,560
Speaker 1: physicality of our of our of our football team, being

1009
00:47:41,560 --> 00:47:43,600
Speaker 1: able to establish the line of scrimmage on both sides

1010
00:47:43,600 --> 00:47:47,760
Speaker 1: of the ball early in the game, affecting the quarterback

1011
00:47:47,800 --> 00:47:51,000
Speaker 1: early in the game, US affecting their quarterback, them affecting

1012
00:47:51,040 --> 00:47:54,200
Speaker 1: our quarterback. And then special team is playing its role

1013
00:47:54,680 --> 00:47:57,759
Speaker 1: in the game as well. Um so all three phases

1014
00:47:58,440 --> 00:48:02,040
Speaker 1: coming together to form one one unit really, and so

1015
00:48:02,440 --> 00:48:04,480
Speaker 1: there's some things we did well. There's some things obviously

1016
00:48:04,600 --> 00:48:06,360
Speaker 1: we didn't do well enough, and that's where we have

1017
00:48:06,400 --> 00:48:08,400
Speaker 1: to work this week. Sean McDermot yesterday, one of the

1018
00:48:08,520 --> 00:48:11,239
Speaker 1: I think one of the good things about Sean McDermott

1019
00:48:11,280 --> 00:48:13,200
Speaker 1: is how he keeps it simple. He boils it down,

1020
00:48:13,239 --> 00:48:15,960
Speaker 1: you know, talking in particular about establishing the line of

1021
00:48:15,960 --> 00:48:18,319
Speaker 1: scrimmage on both sides of the ball, being able to

1022
00:48:18,320 --> 00:48:20,400
Speaker 1: do that early in the Philadelphia game. They did not

1023
00:48:20,880 --> 00:48:23,280
Speaker 1: neither on the offense nor on defense, and that really,

1024
00:48:23,560 --> 00:48:25,520
Speaker 1: if you had to say one thing what went wrong,

1025
00:48:25,640 --> 00:48:27,640
Speaker 1: that's what went wrong. And McDermott gets right to it

1026
00:48:27,680 --> 00:48:32,000
Speaker 1: when he answers that question. Yeah, that's any think about

1027
00:48:32,040 --> 00:48:33,839
Speaker 1: where they were a year ago, where they're going six

1028
00:48:33,880 --> 00:48:36,480
Speaker 1: and ten, and it felt like they had a little

1029
00:48:36,520 --> 00:48:38,400
Speaker 1: bit more to give, except they didn't have the offensive line.

1030
00:48:38,400 --> 00:48:40,400
Speaker 1: They couldn't win the line of scrimmage at all up

1031
00:48:40,440 --> 00:48:44,200
Speaker 1: front offensively, and that turn went turned him from a

1032
00:48:44,239 --> 00:48:46,719
Speaker 1: playoff team into a non playoff team. Along with it,

1033
00:48:46,840 --> 00:48:48,440
Speaker 1: you know everything else that went on, but I think

1034
00:48:48,440 --> 00:48:50,200
Speaker 1: that was the most glaring thing. We didn't even know

1035
00:48:50,239 --> 00:48:51,960
Speaker 1: what we had in Josh Allen because he was running

1036
00:48:51,960 --> 00:48:54,200
Speaker 1: for his life. We didn't know we had in Leasha.

1037
00:48:54,440 --> 00:48:56,480
Speaker 1: We don't know what Leshan McCoy had left in the tank.

1038
00:48:56,520 --> 00:48:58,120
Speaker 1: We didn't you know, all of this stuff, we didn't

1039
00:48:58,120 --> 00:49:00,840
Speaker 1: know because they couldn't get it going off offensively. You

1040
00:49:00,840 --> 00:49:04,279
Speaker 1: couldn't find out about the skill position players because the

1041
00:49:04,320 --> 00:49:08,160
Speaker 1: offensive lineman couldn't do their job. So this year it's

1042
00:49:08,160 --> 00:49:09,960
Speaker 1: a little different. You feel like you can until up

1043
00:49:10,040 --> 00:49:12,680
Speaker 1: until last week, you know that they couldn't win that

1044
00:49:12,760 --> 00:49:17,439
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage. How much are you willing to make

1045
00:49:17,520 --> 00:49:21,000
Speaker 1: sure you win that line scrimmage every week? Do you

1046
00:49:21,160 --> 00:49:24,000
Speaker 1: keep bolsting, you keep throwing assets at the offensive line,

1047
00:49:24,000 --> 00:49:27,280
Speaker 1: that the defensive line to get bigger, better, stronger, faster,

1048
00:49:27,440 --> 00:49:30,600
Speaker 1: more dominant, and then at the expense of giving yourself

1049
00:49:31,160 --> 00:49:34,560
Speaker 1: backup DBS or or number one wide receivers or more

1050
00:49:34,640 --> 00:49:36,600
Speaker 1: running backs. I mean, that's that's what you're tooking out.

1051
00:49:36,600 --> 00:49:39,839
Speaker 1: You only got so many assets to get to use

1052
00:49:40,560 --> 00:49:42,680
Speaker 1: and where you got to allocate them in the way

1053
00:49:42,680 --> 00:49:44,040
Speaker 1: that gives you a chance to win. But now all

1054
00:49:44,080 --> 00:49:46,880
Speaker 1: of a sudden, you know, are you showing some cracks

1055
00:49:46,880 --> 00:49:49,920
Speaker 1: in your defense because you're defensive line lost Harrison Phillips

1056
00:49:49,960 --> 00:49:53,960
Speaker 1: and an extra rotational guy in there. I don't know.

1057
00:49:54,360 --> 00:49:56,480
Speaker 1: I don't know. It's interesting to think about it. It'll

1058
00:49:56,520 --> 00:49:59,040
Speaker 1: be fun to see how this trade deadline comes around.

1059

1113
00:52:41,520 --> 00:52:44,799
Speaker 1: we saw your tweet. Kyle tweeted out today can the

1114
00:52:44,840 --> 00:52:47,160
Speaker 1: Bills please get a weapon at the wire? So you've

1115
00:52:47,160 --> 00:52:48,640
Speaker 1: made it clear you want a deal, and you know

1116
00:52:48,680 --> 00:52:51,680
Speaker 1: what you want right you want an offensive weapon. I

1117
00:52:51,760 --> 00:52:53,839
Speaker 1: just I look at the offense right now, and if

1118
00:52:54,200 --> 00:52:56,799
Speaker 1: the goal this season is to win a playoff game

1119
00:52:57,160 --> 00:53:00,120
Speaker 1: win two, is this the offense that's doing it. It

1120
00:53:00,560 --> 00:53:02,840
Speaker 1: just feels like it's not. It just feels like not

1121
00:53:02,960 --> 00:53:05,560
Speaker 1: quite there, just missing a little piece. Now. I know

1122
00:53:05,640 --> 00:53:07,840
Speaker 1: you guys have a poll and it's sort of the

1123
00:53:07,880 --> 00:53:11,840
Speaker 1: Goldilocks porridge, the hot, medium, cold, big small movie. I

1124
00:53:11,840 --> 00:53:15,080
Speaker 1: don't even need the big splash move. In the off season,

1125
00:53:15,160 --> 00:53:17,879
Speaker 1: they went through the whole Antonio Brown will there won't

1126
00:53:17,880 --> 00:53:20,200
Speaker 1: They turn out to be a great, great idea not

1127
00:53:20,280 --> 00:53:23,680
Speaker 1: to do that, But I would love that nice, warm porridge.

1128
00:53:23,719 --> 00:53:27,080
Speaker 1: I just somebody either a running back or a wide receiver.

1129
00:53:27,280 --> 00:53:30,200
Speaker 1: I know this DeVante Parker from the Dolphins is getting

1130
00:53:30,200 --> 00:53:32,080
Speaker 1: a little bit of run. That's the kind of guy

1131
00:53:32,120 --> 00:53:34,520
Speaker 1: who would like they don't need to change the whole world.

1132
00:53:34,760 --> 00:53:37,399
Speaker 1: I just one guy who in January, when it's third

1133
00:53:37,440 --> 00:53:39,600
Speaker 1: and nine can catch a big pass from Alan. I

1134
00:53:39,680 --> 00:53:41,440
Speaker 1: really think they need it. I don't know if this

1135
00:53:41,520 --> 00:53:45,640
Speaker 1: offense is a playoff winning offense yet. Right every name

1136
00:53:45,680 --> 00:53:47,440
Speaker 1: in the book has come up, and some of the

1137
00:53:47,480 --> 00:53:50,160
Speaker 1: things you look at. Robbie Anderson from the Jets, Leveon

1138
00:53:50,239 --> 00:53:52,359
Speaker 1: Bell now is said to be you know, the Jets

1139
00:53:52,360 --> 00:53:55,480
Speaker 1: are shopping him. And what's going on with Gang Green

1140
00:53:55,719 --> 00:53:59,480
Speaker 1: in New York? Are they Are they following the Dolphins

1141
00:53:59,480 --> 00:54:04,040
Speaker 1: to the bottom. It might be. Listen, there's flashy names

1142
00:54:04,040 --> 00:54:05,920
Speaker 1: out there, Steve and It's it's I think it's a

1143
00:54:06,040 --> 00:54:09,440
Speaker 1: dangerous move to chase them. You hear aj Green. I

1144
00:54:09,480 --> 00:54:12,320
Speaker 1: don't think Cincinnati's getting rid of them. Robbie Anderson, I

1145
00:54:12,400 --> 00:54:14,040
Speaker 1: don't know if he brings much to the field that

1146
00:54:14,120 --> 00:54:19,080
Speaker 1: John Brown doesn't already bring. Levion big expensive I don't

1147
00:54:19,080 --> 00:54:21,920
Speaker 1: even think they need that. Well, let's let's we'll put

1148
00:54:21,920 --> 00:54:23,759
Speaker 1: the Eagles game to a side for a second. I

1149
00:54:23,800 --> 00:54:25,880
Speaker 1: still do believe in this team, which is maybe the

1150
00:54:25,880 --> 00:54:28,560
Speaker 1: bigger question of this week talking to you guys every week.

1151
00:54:28,600 --> 00:54:30,000
Speaker 1: I don't know if you loan me into it, but

1152
00:54:30,200 --> 00:54:32,200
Speaker 1: I've been excited about this build team. And I go

1153
00:54:32,280 --> 00:54:34,279
Speaker 1: on in the morning and I say things that this

1154
00:54:34,440 --> 00:54:37,120
Speaker 1: Bills team's going to the playoffs, They're gonna win eleven games,

1155
00:54:37,120 --> 00:54:39,040
Speaker 1: on and on, and then I have to show up

1156
00:54:39,080 --> 00:54:41,399
Speaker 1: on Monday morning after the Eagles game. Let me put

1157
00:54:41,400 --> 00:54:43,640
Speaker 1: it in from my perspective. As you guys know, for

1158
00:54:43,719 --> 00:54:46,000
Speaker 1: a long time, I worked in radio and I worked

1159
00:54:46,040 --> 00:54:48,480
Speaker 1: with Jim Rome, and Jim Rome is very popular in

1160
00:54:48,520 --> 00:54:50,880
Speaker 1: Buffalo amongst a lot of Bills fans. And it was

1161
00:54:50,920 --> 00:54:55,120
Speaker 1: the same cycle every single year. September phones are ringing

1162
00:54:55,160 --> 00:54:57,720
Speaker 1: off the hook. There's Mark and Buffalo, and Tim and Buffalo.

1163
00:54:57,800 --> 00:55:00,560
Speaker 1: They all want to talk Bills. End of September, less

1164
00:55:00,760 --> 00:55:04,400
Speaker 1: in the by October silent. Is that this team? Again?

1165
00:55:04,560 --> 00:55:07,200
Speaker 1: I say no, And I think the difference is it's

1166
00:55:07,239 --> 00:55:09,880
Speaker 1: not just Allen, It's not just the defense. Guys. I

1167
00:55:09,920 --> 00:55:12,239
Speaker 1: believe in coach McDermott. Those teams that were having that

1168
00:55:12,280 --> 00:55:15,680
Speaker 1: happen were Dick Geron, Jan Gaily, Doug Morone. I believe

1169
00:55:15,719 --> 00:55:18,360
Speaker 1: in this guy. It was a brutal day on Sunday,

1170
00:55:18,400 --> 00:55:20,000
Speaker 1: but I'm not jumping ship. I think one of the

1171
00:55:20,000 --> 00:55:23,000
Speaker 1: things about it is and this offense has sputtered. You're right,

1172
00:55:23,000 --> 00:55:25,520
Speaker 1: they struggled to score points. It kind of starts with

1173
00:55:25,560 --> 00:55:27,720
Speaker 1: our guy, Josh Allen. Do you bring in a number

1174
00:55:27,719 --> 00:55:29,759
Speaker 1: one receiver if you really don't have faith that Josh

1175
00:55:29,760 --> 00:55:31,880
Speaker 1: Allen can hit the deep pass kind of thing. You

1176
00:55:31,920 --> 00:55:35,160
Speaker 1: went out to Wyoming and had an experience out there

1177
00:55:35,280 --> 00:55:38,040
Speaker 1: where people live and die with Josh Allen's stories. Am

1178
00:55:38,040 --> 00:55:41,640
Speaker 1: I right? It sounds totally wild to do, but it

1179
00:55:41,719 --> 00:55:44,040
Speaker 1: is true. This is one hundred percent try story. This

1180
00:55:44,080 --> 00:55:46,359
Speaker 1: past weekend, my wife and I went to the state

1181
00:55:46,400 --> 00:55:49,040
Speaker 1: of Wyoming. Now some might say we went there for

1182
00:55:49,080 --> 00:55:51,040
Speaker 1: a vacation, but I'm gonna say it was strictly work,

1183
00:55:51,120 --> 00:55:53,120
Speaker 1: so I can tell the i RS that we were.

1184
00:55:53,280 --> 00:55:55,560
Speaker 1: The work that I was doing was to meet some

1185
00:55:55,640 --> 00:55:59,440
Speaker 1: of these Wyoming people who have known Josh Allen well before,

1186
00:55:59,520 --> 00:56:01,279
Speaker 1: since he came at the college and everything. I went

1187
00:56:01,320 --> 00:56:03,799
Speaker 1: to this crazy bar in Jackson, Wyoming where this bar

1188
00:56:03,840 --> 00:56:06,640
Speaker 1: stools are actual saddles, and I sat down next to

1189
00:56:06,680 --> 00:56:10,280
Speaker 1: this dude named Joe. Joe drives a snowplow, he drives

1190
00:56:10,280 --> 00:56:13,080
Speaker 1: a snowmobile, and he's got all kinds of takes on

1191
00:56:13,160 --> 00:56:15,560
Speaker 1: Josh Youllen. I know, Buffalo thinks they know Josh Shellen.

1192
00:56:15,760 --> 00:56:18,560
Speaker 1: The Wyoming people all they want to talk about or

1193
00:56:18,600 --> 00:56:21,520
Speaker 1: Harrison Board stories because he lives there, and Josh Allen

1194
00:56:21,600 --> 00:56:24,320
Speaker 1: Paul Bunyan stories. I said, yeah, but I hear mahomes

1195
00:56:24,360 --> 00:56:26,160
Speaker 1: as a stronger arm than now and he's They almost

1196
00:56:26,160 --> 00:56:28,640
Speaker 1: spit his drink out. He said, I saw Josh Allen

1197
00:56:29,000 --> 00:56:31,680
Speaker 1: throw the ball one hundred and ten yards. I said,

1198
00:56:31,880 --> 00:56:34,359
Speaker 1: come on, Joe, nobody's throwing them all hundred and ten yards.

1199
00:56:34,400 --> 00:56:36,160
Speaker 1: He said, he was on his own goal line and

1200
00:56:36,239 --> 00:56:39,560
Speaker 1: he threw it through the opposite uprights. Josh Youllen is

1201
00:56:39,640 --> 00:56:42,399
Speaker 1: second to none. I'm telling you. I left this bar

1202
00:56:42,480 --> 00:56:45,239
Speaker 1: Saturday night and maybe it was the Livasians, but I

1203
00:56:45,360 --> 00:56:47,440
Speaker 1: thought that Josh Allen was gonna win the next day

1204
00:56:47,480 --> 00:56:49,520
Speaker 1: by sixty points because he's Paul Bunyan with Babe the

1205
00:56:49,520 --> 00:56:52,840
Speaker 1: Blue Ox. So that was so shocked on Sunday morning

1206
00:56:53,040 --> 00:56:55,040
Speaker 1: when I saw what happened to him. Because the people

1207
00:56:55,080 --> 00:56:56,960
Speaker 1: in Wyoming say the best is yet to come. And

1208
00:56:56,960 --> 00:56:59,440
Speaker 1: I think they know the guy the best, and Josh

1209
00:56:59,440 --> 00:57:02,480
Speaker 1: didn't struggle and really for a couple of games now

1210
00:57:02,760 --> 00:57:05,760
Speaker 1: there's been some headscrap. They hasn't turned it over the Bills.

1211
00:57:05,760 --> 00:57:07,799
Speaker 1: You have just two turnovers the last three games, Kyle,

1212
00:57:07,880 --> 00:57:10,479
Speaker 1: But you need the Bills need more from Josh Allen.

1213
00:57:10,520 --> 00:57:13,719
Speaker 1: I think that's pretty obvious, right yeah. And it's it's

1214
00:57:13,760 --> 00:57:16,800
Speaker 1: tricky with that Eagles game because if if Josh Allen

1215
00:57:16,880 --> 00:57:18,720
Speaker 1: just threw a bunch of picks and they lost, well,

1216
00:57:18,880 --> 00:57:20,439
Speaker 1: all right, it's the same kind of problem that happened

1217
00:57:20,440 --> 00:57:22,920
Speaker 1: Agast New England. They gotta get better at that. But

1218
00:57:23,520 --> 00:57:25,320
Speaker 1: it was they just got punched in the stomach. It

1219
00:57:25,400 --> 00:57:27,720
Speaker 1: was I always thought that the defense was gonna never

1220
00:57:27,800 --> 00:57:30,160
Speaker 1: let them have a day like that, and the Eagles

1221
00:57:30,200 --> 00:57:32,040
Speaker 1: decided to run the hell out of it. They ran

1222
00:57:32,040 --> 00:57:33,520
Speaker 1: it right up to the middle. I don't think Josh

1223
00:57:33,560 --> 00:57:35,640
Speaker 1: Tollen was terrible at all. It was like the defense

1224
00:57:35,760 --> 00:57:38,480
Speaker 1: is the one who took the body blows. But you know,

1225
00:57:38,480 --> 00:57:40,560
Speaker 1: I remember Murphytte. You asked me last week they didn't

1226
00:57:40,560 --> 00:57:43,200
Speaker 1: play against well against Miami, is that reason to concern?

1227
00:57:43,240 --> 00:57:45,720
Speaker 1: And I said, look, it's sometimes you played down to

1228
00:57:45,800 --> 00:57:47,680
Speaker 1: your level of competition. The important thing is they won.

1229
00:57:48,240 --> 00:57:50,920
Speaker 1: This was different. I don't know that. This was a really, really,

1230
00:57:50,920 --> 00:57:53,600
Speaker 1: really tough loss at home. And we're gonna learn a

1231
00:57:53,600 --> 00:57:56,000
Speaker 1: lot about this Bills team this week because that was

1232
00:57:56,040 --> 00:57:57,880
Speaker 1: a body blow. Yeah, what do you think the biggest

1233
00:57:57,880 --> 00:58:00,360
Speaker 1: concern is going forward? Do you really think like maybe

1234
00:58:00,360 --> 00:58:04,040
Speaker 1: our defense isn't any good or maybe you know, I'm

1235
00:58:04,080 --> 00:58:05,680
Speaker 1: not ready to hit the panic button. I know they

1236
00:58:05,760 --> 00:58:09,200
Speaker 1: lost by eighteen points. Is a tough loss at home,

1237
00:58:10,120 --> 00:58:11,640
Speaker 1: you know, and there's a lot goes into that. The game,

1238
00:58:11,720 --> 00:58:13,200
Speaker 1: you know, could have been a little closer than that.

1239
00:58:13,240 --> 00:58:15,440
Speaker 1: But that was a good Philadelphia team that showed up

1240
00:58:15,480 --> 00:58:18,760
Speaker 1: and it wasn't the same Philadelphia team that got their

1241
00:58:18,800 --> 00:58:22,760
Speaker 1: heads handed to them in Dallas a week before that. Well,

1242
00:58:22,960 --> 00:58:25,280
Speaker 1: I've learned a few things in the last couple of years.

1243
00:58:25,360 --> 00:58:28,200
Speaker 1: Right now, I think there's three to four teams in

1244
00:58:28,240 --> 00:58:30,760
Speaker 1: the whole league that you do not ever give up on,

1245
00:58:30,880 --> 00:58:34,400
Speaker 1: do not ever count out obviously New England and then

1246
00:58:34,440 --> 00:58:37,280
Speaker 1: the Doug Peterson Eagles. Don't ever think that they're out

1247
00:58:37,280 --> 00:58:39,480
Speaker 1: of it, because they will come back under any circumstances

1248
00:58:39,480 --> 00:58:41,320
Speaker 1: and win. And now I'm gonna throw on the Frank

1249
00:58:41,360 --> 00:58:44,280
Speaker 1: Wright Colts too, because they've been through everything. One in

1250
00:58:44,360 --> 00:58:47,200
Speaker 1: five start last year, Luck retires this year. Those are

1251
00:58:47,200 --> 00:58:49,360
Speaker 1: the three teams that I don't care if they're Owen

1252
00:58:49,440 --> 00:58:51,800
Speaker 1: two or Owen nine. They will find a way to

1253
00:58:51,840 --> 00:58:53,960
Speaker 1: turn it around. As far as what happened to the Bills,

1254
00:58:54,480 --> 00:58:56,120
Speaker 1: it was tough. I think they ran into the wrong

1255
00:58:56,120 --> 00:58:58,080
Speaker 1: team or the wrong day when they're backed into a corner.

1256
00:58:58,120 --> 00:59:00,600
Speaker 1: But I'm not jumping ships deep because I saw what

1257
00:59:00,680 --> 00:59:02,320
Speaker 1: that defense did to Tom Brady and it was one

1258
00:59:02,360 --> 00:59:04,240
Speaker 1: of the worst games he's ever played in his career.

1259
00:59:04,440 --> 00:59:06,800
Speaker 1: I think it was the wrong day in a tough situation,

1260
00:59:06,840 --> 00:59:08,280
Speaker 1: and I think they'll get back on their horse. I

1261
00:59:08,320 --> 00:59:10,640
Speaker 1: really do. Yeah. Kyle Brandt joins this host of Good

1262
00:59:10,640 --> 00:59:13,480
Speaker 1: Morning Football on NFL Network seven am on weekdays. Kyle,

1263
00:59:13,520 --> 00:59:16,240
Speaker 1: what has happened in the NFL that's made the treadline

1264
00:59:16,440 --> 00:59:19,120
Speaker 1: trade deadline so much more fun, so much more significant?

1265
00:59:19,120 --> 00:59:21,760
Speaker 1: What happened in the last couple of years. It's kind

1266
00:59:21,760 --> 00:59:25,240
Speaker 1: of fun, right because typically we as NFL kind of sours.

1267
00:59:25,680 --> 00:59:28,120
Speaker 1: We pat our little buddy, the NBA and the head

1268
00:59:28,160 --> 00:59:30,200
Speaker 1: and say they're such a nice little brother. If we

1269
00:59:30,280 --> 00:59:32,880
Speaker 1: kind of run the world, and they're cute and someday

1270
00:59:32,920 --> 00:59:35,320
Speaker 1: they'll grow up big and strong like us. And yet

1271
00:59:35,480 --> 00:59:38,600
Speaker 1: the NBA gets wild. They do trades like where you

1272
00:59:38,640 --> 00:59:41,880
Speaker 1: need in TV talk, you need two full screens to

1273
00:59:41,880 --> 00:59:43,800
Speaker 1: write all the names on and this guy in this

1274
00:59:43,920 --> 00:59:45,800
Speaker 1: draft pick, in this draft pick. And then all of

1275
00:59:45,840 --> 00:59:49,120
Speaker 1: a sudden, now like the NFL's getting a little sexier

1276
00:59:49,200 --> 00:59:51,600
Speaker 1: and you're seeing what trades that I like are the

1277
00:59:51,600 --> 00:59:54,600
Speaker 1: ones that are in the division, and I like the ones.

1278
00:59:54,680 --> 00:59:56,920
Speaker 1: We had a New York Jets New York Giants trade,

1279
00:59:56,920 --> 00:59:59,640
Speaker 1: which hasn't happened in almost forty years. You know, it

1280
00:59:59,680 --> 01:00:02,520
Speaker 1: doesn't go down like that. I also like, here's what's

1281
01:00:02,520 --> 01:00:05,040
Speaker 1: contriguing right now for the next couple of hours. There's

1282
01:00:05,080 --> 01:00:07,400
Speaker 1: one thing. If the teams two and six and they

1283
01:00:07,440 --> 01:00:09,200
Speaker 1: want to trade, I want to get rid of things

1284
01:00:09,240 --> 01:00:11,760
Speaker 1: or maybe get back into it. I like when the

1285
01:00:11,800 --> 01:00:15,480
Speaker 1: contenders are trading. I like that the New England got

1286
01:00:15,680 --> 01:00:19,000
Speaker 1: some new or that the Niners were undefeated and went

1287
01:00:19,040 --> 01:00:21,560
Speaker 1: out and got Emmanuel Sanders. That's how you go from

1288
01:00:21,560 --> 01:00:24,840
Speaker 1: a millionaire to a billionaire. The front runners, the contenders,

1289
01:00:24,960 --> 01:00:27,880
Speaker 1: which is why guys, I would just love to say

1290
01:00:28,040 --> 01:00:30,120
Speaker 1: I love right now if Murphy said, I'm sorry, Cobb,

1291
01:00:30,240 --> 01:00:32,960
Speaker 1: we have breaking news. The Bills have made a move,

1292
01:00:33,280 --> 01:00:35,480
Speaker 1: and yet here we are, We're under three hours now

1293
01:00:35,480 --> 01:00:37,120
Speaker 1: and I still haven't headed. I would love to see it.

1294
01:00:37,200 --> 01:00:39,720
Speaker 1: The Andy Dalton news doesn't qualify as breaking news for you.

1295
01:00:39,800 --> 01:00:43,400
Speaker 1: That doesn't get you gone, not unless they trade him

1296
01:00:43,400 --> 01:00:47,640
Speaker 1: to the Bears, right right, Yeah, your Bears need some help.

1297
01:00:47,800 --> 01:00:50,000
Speaker 1: Are they good with the cornerback spot or what do

1298
01:00:50,040 --> 01:00:51,760
Speaker 1: you think? And what about Nagie? What do you make

1299
01:00:51,760 --> 01:00:56,000
Speaker 1: of your your hometown team Chicago. Well, I'm thrilled to

1300
01:00:56,000 --> 01:00:58,520
Speaker 1: say that I can't identify with this in my personal life.

1301
01:00:58,680 --> 01:01:02,440
Speaker 1: But the Bears are in a marriage with no prenuff.

1302
01:01:02,480 --> 01:01:04,880
Speaker 1: It's there's no other There's no other thing they can do.

1303
01:01:05,000 --> 01:01:09,280
Speaker 1: There is no Josh McCown type backup that they could

1304
01:01:09,280 --> 01:01:11,520
Speaker 1: put in. You know, they tried that. Chase Daniel's not

1305
01:01:11,600 --> 01:01:14,720
Speaker 1: the guy. There is no late round rookie that maybe

1306
01:01:14,720 --> 01:01:17,600
Speaker 1: we'll give them a spark. It's just Trubisky. And we

1307
01:01:17,640 --> 01:01:20,640
Speaker 1: saw Matt Nagge, guys, the reigning coach of the Year,

1308
01:01:21,040 --> 01:01:23,880
Speaker 1: at the end of the game, decide that he trusted

1309
01:01:23,920 --> 01:01:26,880
Speaker 1: his kicker more than he trusted his quarterback, and the

1310
01:01:26,960 --> 01:01:29,440
Speaker 1: crazy thing is, I think he might be rights to

1311
01:01:29,600 --> 01:01:33,360
Speaker 1: do that. Everyone's breaking Naggie over the coals. Watched Trubisky

1312
01:01:33,400 --> 01:01:35,240
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter. He did everything he could to

1313
01:01:35,280 --> 01:01:37,840
Speaker 1: give that game away, and the defense can only do

1314
01:01:37,880 --> 01:01:41,480
Speaker 1: so much. The Bears have real, real problems right now. Yeah, well,

1315
01:01:41,480 --> 01:01:44,240
Speaker 1: I was We're gonna ask you about that. That division.

1316
01:01:46,160 --> 01:01:47,800
Speaker 1: We knew it was going to be competitive with the

1317
01:01:47,920 --> 01:01:50,280
Speaker 1: Vikings and Bears bows back. What do you think how

1318
01:01:50,280 --> 01:01:51,640
Speaker 1: do you think it's going to shake out when it's

1319
01:01:51,640 --> 01:01:55,840
Speaker 1: all said and done. It's really hard to pick against

1320
01:01:55,840 --> 01:01:58,080
Speaker 1: the Packers right now, Steve and just as good as

1321
01:01:58,080 --> 01:02:01,600
Speaker 1: they look, they're they're light teams up without I think

1322
01:02:01,600 --> 01:02:04,040
Speaker 1: the top five receiver in the league, DeVante Parker. You

1323
01:02:04,040 --> 01:02:09,240
Speaker 1: have Aaron Rodgers throwing a guy's name Kumero and Geronimo

1324
01:02:09,480 --> 01:02:12,760
Speaker 1: at Lazar. These are guys that are not household names,

1325
01:02:13,040 --> 01:02:15,680
Speaker 1: and it's like he's one of these players late in

1326
01:02:15,720 --> 01:02:18,200
Speaker 1: his career who still has his fastball. It's I don't

1327
01:02:18,240 --> 01:02:20,960
Speaker 1: know if it's if it's Smoltzermadox or one of those

1328
01:02:21,000 --> 01:02:23,280
Speaker 1: braves from the nineties, but that's what it looks like

1329
01:02:23,360 --> 01:02:25,840
Speaker 1: right now. They've already completely swept in a vision. They've

1330
01:02:25,840 --> 01:02:28,160
Speaker 1: already beat the Lions, beat the Bears, beat the Vikings.

1331
01:02:28,440 --> 01:02:30,440
Speaker 1: I do still think it's one of the best divisions

1332
01:02:30,440 --> 01:02:33,880
Speaker 1: in the league because the Vikings are really strong, especially

1333
01:02:33,960 --> 01:02:36,080
Speaker 1: at home. And if you look into it and it's

1334
01:02:36,120 --> 01:02:38,920
Speaker 1: kind of people roll their eyes and hear Matt Stafford.

1335
01:02:39,080 --> 01:02:41,960
Speaker 1: Matt Stafford is putting up MVP numbers with anybody else

1336
01:02:41,960 --> 01:02:44,040
Speaker 1: in the league right now. Those three teams, that's the

1337
01:02:44,040 --> 01:02:46,320
Speaker 1: crazy thing. The raining champs the Bears are the weak

1338
01:02:46,400 --> 01:02:48,560
Speaker 1: link right now. But the NFC North is loaded, and

1339
01:02:48,560 --> 01:02:52,800
Speaker 1: it's one of the reasons this trade atmosphere is so prevalent.

1340
01:02:52,840 --> 01:02:55,880
Speaker 1: This is because there's a spots where teams have got

1341
01:02:56,000 --> 01:02:58,040
Speaker 1: quarterbacks that can play. Look at the Saints now they

1342
01:02:58,120 --> 01:03:00,800
Speaker 1: found out Teddy Bridgewater. Hey, people can win with him.

1343
01:03:00,920 --> 01:03:04,920
Speaker 1: Gardner Minshoe is in Jacksonville with Nick Foles, one of

1344
01:03:04,920 --> 01:03:07,800
Speaker 1: the you know both those guys are there. You've got

1345
01:03:07,840 --> 01:03:11,720
Speaker 1: all these all these players, Sam Darnold's coming back, You've

1346
01:03:11,720 --> 01:03:14,920
Speaker 1: got you know, all the good You've got quarterbacks with

1347
01:03:14,960 --> 01:03:17,120
Speaker 1: teams with quarterbacks that actually seem to have two guys

1348
01:03:17,520 --> 01:03:20,880
Speaker 1: you only need one. And now Andy Dalton is gonna

1349
01:03:20,880 --> 01:03:24,200
Speaker 1: be benched. You've got all these quarterbacks who, hey, you

1350
01:03:24,240 --> 01:03:26,640
Speaker 1: know what, maybe I'll pick up the phone. So that

1351
01:03:26,760 --> 01:03:29,640
Speaker 1: kind of is really intriguing for teams like a two

1352
01:03:29,640 --> 01:03:33,600
Speaker 1: and six Denver who washed through big name quarterbacks like

1353
01:03:33,720 --> 01:03:36,520
Speaker 1: yesterday's laundry. I mean, they all of a sudden, I

1354
01:03:36,560 --> 01:03:38,200
Speaker 1: can see John Elway picking up with the phone. With

1355
01:03:38,200 --> 01:03:41,800
Speaker 1: all of those teams. Yeah, I mean it's Ryan Tannehill

1356
01:03:41,920 --> 01:03:45,640
Speaker 1: right winning games. Last night, Mason Rudolph won a game

1357
01:03:45,720 --> 01:03:49,360
Speaker 1: on national television. It's all over the place, and yet

1358
01:03:50,080 --> 01:03:52,200
Speaker 1: you think that might make some action if somebody wants

1359
01:03:52,200 --> 01:03:54,440
Speaker 1: to grab a quarterback Denver or somebody like that to

1360
01:03:54,560 --> 01:03:56,240
Speaker 1: chase one in the middle of the season. It's I

1361
01:03:56,320 --> 01:03:58,560
Speaker 1: like this time of year because it's so obvious. You

1362
01:03:58,600 --> 01:04:02,560
Speaker 1: can see teams are packing an in, or they're front runners,

1363
01:04:02,760 --> 01:04:05,120
Speaker 1: or they're saying, we're still in this thing. There's teams

1364
01:04:05,120 --> 01:04:08,600
Speaker 1: that are packing in right now. My cohort nay Bur Listen,

1365
01:04:08,600 --> 01:04:10,560
Speaker 1: refers to it as car shipping. I don't know what

1366
01:04:10,600 --> 01:04:12,680
Speaker 1: that meant because I wasn't a player, but I guess

1367
01:04:12,720 --> 01:04:14,640
Speaker 1: what the players do sometimes is when they live in

1368
01:04:14,680 --> 01:04:17,360
Speaker 1: cities other than where their home is when the season's over,

1369
01:04:17,480 --> 01:04:20,479
Speaker 1: they ship their cars back to their home. So Nate

1370
01:04:20,520 --> 01:04:22,760
Speaker 1: always says, oh, they're shipping their cars, and they've always

1371
01:04:22,760 --> 01:04:24,959
Speaker 1: sent their cars home. They're done for this season. There's

1372
01:04:25,000 --> 01:04:28,280
Speaker 1: some car shippers going on. It's pretty good. Hey, Kyle,

1373
01:04:28,320 --> 01:04:30,640
Speaker 1: thanks for this. We'll talk again next week. We appreciate it.

1374
01:04:31,520 --> 01:04:33,680
Speaker 1: Let's get another Bills win. I don't like calling you

1375
01:04:33,720 --> 01:04:36,280
Speaker 1: guys after losses. All right, next week win? All right? Man,

1376
01:04:36,360 --> 01:04:38,840
Speaker 1: do our best. Thanks you, guys. Kyle Brand hosted Good

1377
01:04:38,880 --> 01:04:41,800
Speaker 1: Morning Football on NFL Network seven am on weekdays. It's

1378
01:04:41,840 --> 01:04:43,320
Speaker 1: a good show. He does a great job, and he

1379
01:04:43,360 --> 01:04:46,400
Speaker 1: does a great job with us. I think he's right.

1380
01:04:46,440 --> 01:04:48,200
Speaker 1: We have converted him into a bit of a Bills

1381
01:04:48,240 --> 01:04:49,960
Speaker 1: fan and it shows on the air. Well, we picked

1382
01:04:49,960 --> 01:04:52,040
Speaker 1: a good season to do it, despite what happened this

1383
01:04:52,120 --> 01:04:54,240
Speaker 1: last Sunday. Right, it's not just us. I mean, it's

1384
01:04:54,600 --> 01:04:57,240
Speaker 1: it's a fun team to talk about. I think the

1385
01:04:57,360 --> 01:05:00,760
Speaker 1: defense gives them a chance every week. And I saw

1386
01:05:00,800 --> 01:05:02,720
Speaker 1: it and we showed his tweet, can the Bills please

1387
01:05:02,720 --> 01:05:05,439
Speaker 1: get a weapon at the wire? But he also said, look,

1388
01:05:05,440 --> 01:05:07,640
Speaker 1: they don't need to make a big splash move, right,

1389
01:05:07,680 --> 01:05:09,800
Speaker 1: didn't he say that? Right? What do you want? I

1390
01:05:09,800 --> 01:05:11,920
Speaker 1: guess what My question is, what do you want something?

1391
01:05:12,160 --> 01:05:14,160
Speaker 1: You know, what do you want? A dirt string running back,

1392
01:05:15,000 --> 01:05:16,960
Speaker 1: a little salt on the popcorn? You know that's what

1393
01:05:17,080 --> 01:05:20,240
Speaker 1: you need. We're all sitting here too in this season updated.

1394
01:05:20,280 --> 01:05:22,080
Speaker 1: All right, Okay, five and two, let's go. We've got

1395
01:05:22,120 --> 01:05:24,120
Speaker 1: to We've got a string of four games here with

1396
01:05:24,440 --> 01:05:27,440
Speaker 1: teams that are have losing records. Those are the teams

1397
01:05:27,440 --> 01:05:31,040
Speaker 1: we're supposed to beat, because now the criticism is we

1398
01:05:31,040 --> 01:05:33,760
Speaker 1: can't beat good teams, but we'll clean up on bad ones. Well,

1399
01:05:33,800 --> 01:05:36,760
Speaker 1: let's see. You know this team, what happens if they

1400
01:05:36,840 --> 01:05:39,280
Speaker 1: do do that and they go nine and two going

1401
01:05:39,360 --> 01:05:46,720
Speaker 1: into Dallas, who after Sunday they were against Philadelphia. I

1402
01:05:46,720 --> 01:05:48,200
Speaker 1: don't want to think about it. I know it's hard

1403
01:05:48,200 --> 01:05:51,400
Speaker 1: to jump, it's hard to fast forward anything, mister, one

1404
01:05:51,400 --> 01:05:53,160
Speaker 1: week at a time. But you know what, beat we'd

1405
01:05:53,240 --> 01:05:57,080
Speaker 1: Washington first and then we'll reassess, right, because they just

1406
01:05:57,120 --> 01:06:00,400
Speaker 1: there were a lot of a lot of problems supposed

1407
01:06:00,400 --> 01:06:03,400
Speaker 1: in the loss against Philadelphia, which have prevented me from

1408
01:06:03,440 --> 01:06:06,080
Speaker 1: getting too excited about where they could be next week,

1409
01:06:06,120 --> 01:06:08,240
Speaker 1: going to Cleveland at mid season or three weeks away

1410
01:06:08,240 --> 01:06:10,200
Speaker 1: going to Dallas. You know what I'm saying, Yeah, really

1411
01:06:10,400 --> 01:06:13,320
Speaker 1: take care of some business here, including beating Washington. I

1412
01:06:13,360 --> 01:06:15,400
Speaker 1: was gonna we ran out of time with Kyle. This

1413
01:06:15,440 --> 01:06:18,560
Speaker 1: game against Washington is one of those games where the

1414
01:06:18,600 --> 01:06:20,240
Speaker 1: Bills win and it's like, yeah, well, of course you

1415
01:06:20,280 --> 01:06:22,600
Speaker 1: should have beaten them, and if they lose, it's a disaster.

1416
01:06:22,720 --> 01:06:24,320
Speaker 1: But you know what I'm saying, they don't. They won't

1417
01:06:24,320 --> 01:06:26,600
Speaker 1: get credit and they can't do anything about their schedule.

1418
01:06:26,640 --> 01:06:29,320
Speaker 1: I know that, and they have the fourth easiest remaining schedule,

1419
01:06:29,360 --> 01:06:34,360
Speaker 1: including this game against Washington. But um, they should beat Washington,

1420
01:06:34,440 --> 01:06:36,560
Speaker 1: and I think they will, but they don't. They won't

1421
01:06:36,560 --> 01:06:40,040
Speaker 1: get fulled marks for it, because it just keep stacking wins, right,

1422
01:06:40,160 --> 01:06:42,000
Speaker 1: And that's all you gotta do, no matter who it is,

1423
01:06:42,400 --> 01:06:45,640
Speaker 1: whether it's Miami, whether it's the Jets, whether it's Washington,

1424
01:06:45,720 --> 01:06:49,640
Speaker 1: whether it's Cincinnati. Don't worry about it. Just keep doing it.

1425
01:06:50,040 --> 01:06:55,120
Speaker 1: And then when you get in the playoffs, then play

1426
01:06:55,160 --> 01:06:56,800
Speaker 1: I mean, then you got to show up and do

1427
01:06:56,880 --> 01:07:00,440
Speaker 1: something special. You gotta show up and prove it, and

1428
01:07:00,520 --> 01:07:02,440
Speaker 1: that'll be your chance to do it. And I think

1429
01:07:02,480 --> 01:07:06,080
Speaker 1: that's you know, that's where we're sitting right now. That's

1430
01:07:06,080 --> 01:07:08,680
Speaker 1: where you're gonna be and we'll see how it how

1431
01:07:08,680 --> 01:07:10,960
Speaker 1: it plays out. But you're right, Murph, and I remember

1432
01:07:11,280 --> 01:07:13,280
Speaker 1: you just take it one week at a time. We've

1433
01:07:13,320 --> 01:07:15,120
Speaker 1: seen how much of a week to week league. It

1434
01:07:15,200 --> 01:07:18,520
Speaker 1: is one week that Eagles are getting embarrassed and the

1435
01:07:18,800 --> 01:07:21,360
Speaker 1: next week they're the ones pulling the other team's pants down,

1436
01:07:21,400 --> 01:07:23,240
Speaker 1: you know. I mean, they're the ones who are you know,

1437
01:07:23,320 --> 01:07:26,280
Speaker 1: who are embarrassing everybody else. So it's just you know,

1438
01:07:26,440 --> 01:07:30,200
Speaker 1: strap it up, practice hard, prepare as well as you can,

1439
01:07:30,240 --> 01:07:32,160
Speaker 1: and go out and play and we'll see. But I

1440
01:07:32,560 --> 01:07:34,560
Speaker 1: I feel good about this week, no question every and

1441
01:07:34,600 --> 01:07:37,240
Speaker 1: I think you know, for good reason. But you gotta

1442
01:07:37,280 --> 01:07:39,320
Speaker 1: do it, Yeah, you gotta do it. All right, we

1443
01:07:39,360 --> 01:07:41,200
Speaker 1: gotta break here. We're gonna talk more about our topic

1444
01:07:41,200 --> 01:07:42,680
Speaker 1: of the day. What do the Bills need to do

1445
01:07:43,080 --> 01:07:45,320
Speaker 1: before the trading deadline now two and a half hours away.

1446
01:07:45,400 --> 01:07:48,160
Speaker 1: Let us know what you think. Eight fifty toll free

1447
01:07:48,200 --> 01:07:51,280
Speaker 1: one eight eight five fifty two five fifty. We'll do that.

1448
01:07:51,320 --> 01:07:53,440
Speaker 1: We'll recheck the Twitter pull when we return. One. Bills

1449
01:07:53,440 --> 01:07:55,880
Speaker 1: Live presented by collat of Health Company from the Seneca

1450
01:07:55,920 --> 01:08:11,160
Speaker 1: Studio in Archard Park on Buffalo Bills Radio NFL Trade

1451
01:08:11,160 --> 01:08:15,000
Speaker 1: deadline Day, and we got nothing for you yet. That's okay.

1452
01:08:15,040 --> 01:08:17,679
Speaker 1: I anticipate we could get right to the next half

1453
01:08:17,680 --> 01:08:19,599
Speaker 1: of the show and maybe not have anything done either.

1454
01:08:19,680 --> 01:08:22,599
Speaker 1: But we're here. We're on pins and needles. I don't

1455
01:08:22,640 --> 01:08:24,479
Speaker 1: feel like I'm on pins and needles. But it's been

1456
01:08:24,479 --> 01:08:26,320
Speaker 1: an interesting day with a good guest, Kyle Brandt an

1457
01:08:26,479 --> 01:08:28,280
Speaker 1: the good one coming up, Michael Lombardi. We'll talk to

1458
01:08:28,320 --> 01:08:30,719
Speaker 1: him about trade deadline. What it means that Bills haven't

1459
01:08:30,720 --> 01:08:33,080
Speaker 1: done anything yet. They have made an adjustment on their

1460
01:08:33,080 --> 01:08:36,519
Speaker 1: practice squad and a linebacker del Shan Phillips, and releasing

1461
01:08:36,560 --> 01:08:39,160
Speaker 1: a linebacker in Nate Hall. Around the league, no real

1462
01:08:39,200 --> 01:08:42,680
Speaker 1: trades today. Interesting moved by the Cincinnati Bengals. They have

1463
01:08:42,760 --> 01:08:46,000
Speaker 1: benched quarterback Andy Dalton, Buffalo's hero. They're gonna start their

1464
01:08:46,000 --> 01:08:49,439
Speaker 1: fourth round pick from NC State, Ryan Finley in their

1465
01:08:49,720 --> 01:08:51,640
Speaker 1: next game they have they're on the bye week. I

1466
01:08:51,640 --> 01:08:54,080
Speaker 1: believe this week, right after the bye week, yeah, Ryan

1467
01:08:54,120 --> 01:08:56,559
Speaker 1: Finley will start in place of Dalton. Then eight Bengals.

1468
01:08:57,160 --> 01:08:59,559
Speaker 1: That's a sea change in the franchise that has been

1469
01:08:59,600 --> 01:09:02,120
Speaker 1: wetted to Andy Dalton for a long time. It certainly is.

1470
01:09:02,320 --> 01:09:04,160
Speaker 1: This is a guy that signed one hundred million dollar

1471
01:09:04,240 --> 01:09:07,040
Speaker 1: contract and saw most of that money, if not all

1472
01:09:07,040 --> 01:09:09,880
Speaker 1: of it. He might have signed an extension. It might

1473
01:09:09,920 --> 01:09:11,920
Speaker 1: be into the extension by now, I'm not really sure.

1474
01:09:11,960 --> 01:09:16,040
Speaker 1: But he took that franchise to the playoffs his first

1475
01:09:16,160 --> 01:09:18,360
Speaker 1: four full years in the league as a rookie. He

1476
01:09:18,360 --> 01:09:21,519
Speaker 1: took him to the playoffs. So yeah, that's a big

1477
01:09:21,560 --> 01:09:25,080
Speaker 1: shift in you know where, And it's kind of that

1478
01:09:25,120 --> 01:09:28,280
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton era is over, and it was a significant

1479
01:09:28,280 --> 01:09:31,080
Speaker 1: era as far as Cincinnati fans have got to be going.

1480
01:09:31,120 --> 01:09:34,200
Speaker 1: I'm sure there's gonna be derision and people saying yeah

1481
01:09:34,200 --> 01:09:36,439
Speaker 1: about time all that stuff. You get that on social

1482
01:09:36,479 --> 01:09:38,640
Speaker 1: media constantly. But that's a guy who played quarterback for

1483
01:09:38,680 --> 01:09:40,160
Speaker 1: them very well and won a lot of games for

1484
01:09:40,240 --> 01:09:42,920
Speaker 1: him and they're moving on in the midst of an

1485
01:09:42,960 --> 01:09:46,400
Speaker 1: oz and eight season. Wow. Our Twitter poll deals with

1486
01:09:46,439 --> 01:09:48,760
Speaker 1: the trade deadline is four o'clock today and what did

1487
01:09:48,760 --> 01:09:51,519
Speaker 1: the Bills need before the trade deadline? What do you think?

1488
01:09:51,600 --> 01:09:53,519
Speaker 1: Let's talk about it. You can vote in the Twitter poll.

1489
01:09:53,560 --> 01:09:56,760
Speaker 1: We've had almost a thousand votes in already. Fifty five

1490
01:09:56,800 --> 01:09:59,879
Speaker 1: percent of you say the Bills need a big splash. Addition,

1491
01:10:01,040 --> 01:10:04,360
Speaker 1: those are the people who are bored. Thirty five No,

1492
01:10:04,479 --> 01:10:06,599
Speaker 1: I don't think, but some of them are. Thirty five

1493
01:10:06,640 --> 01:10:09,639
Speaker 1: percent say they need a minor tweak and adjustment, which

1494
01:10:09,800 --> 01:10:12,519
Speaker 1: begs the question, well, what's the point we're gonna we

1495
01:10:12,600 --> 01:10:14,599
Speaker 1: can scare with that? What difference will that make? Nine

1496
01:10:14,640 --> 01:10:16,840
Speaker 1: percent said they don't need anything. Let's hear from you

1506
01:10:47,640 --> 01:10:50,360
Speaker 1: like our over, I would live to see him while

1507
01:10:50,439 --> 01:10:53,800
Speaker 1: to where Jerry Hues is, maybe little Cherry Hues to

1508
01:10:53,880 --> 01:10:56,880
Speaker 1: the linebreaker spot. If you can't do that, maybe Cherry

1509
01:10:56,960 --> 01:11:00,880
Speaker 1: Jerry Hughes to get a linebreaker or defensive arriving. And

1510
01:11:01,520 --> 01:11:03,920
Speaker 1: you have all these cornerbacks that you keep talking about.

1511
01:11:04,720 --> 01:11:09,280
Speaker 1: Why Levi Wallace and you're still stilling in there. They're

1512
01:11:09,280 --> 01:11:14,160
Speaker 1: thinking about him in that answers. Okay, okay, we'll see

1513
01:11:14,160 --> 01:11:15,200
Speaker 1: what we can do with that. You want to start,

1514
01:11:15,200 --> 01:11:17,439
Speaker 1: where do you want to start? Let's start with Levi Wallace. Um.

1515
01:11:17,960 --> 01:11:20,559
Speaker 1: Levi's had a pretty solid first seven games, I think,

1516
01:11:20,600 --> 01:11:21,960
Speaker 1: and I think he'll be all right. They pick on

1517
01:11:22,000 --> 01:11:24,559
Speaker 1: it because the other guy's great tradevious White is great

1518
01:11:24,880 --> 01:11:27,519
Speaker 1: and you know, so if it's not Levi, who are

1519
01:11:27,520 --> 01:11:29,600
Speaker 1: you looking at? Kevin Johnson? Okay, he can play a

1520
01:11:29,640 --> 01:11:31,960
Speaker 1: little bit. I just think, you know, let's not get

1521
01:11:31,960 --> 01:11:33,640
Speaker 1: carried away here. They're going they got they want to

1522
01:11:33,640 --> 01:11:36,439
Speaker 1: throw somewhere, and they're not. They're gonna try to stay

1523
01:11:36,479 --> 01:11:38,560
Speaker 1: away from one of the best top five corners in

1524
01:11:38,600 --> 01:11:42,320
Speaker 1: the game, Tridivious White. Yeah, it's a function of you know,

1525
01:11:42,439 --> 01:11:46,680
Speaker 1: he looked back. Lester Hayes back in the eighties or

1526
01:11:46,720 --> 01:11:52,040
Speaker 1: seventies had fourteen or fifteen interceptions in a year. Anything, Well,

1527
01:11:52,040 --> 01:11:54,519
Speaker 1: why did these what how do you get that many interceptions?

1528
01:11:54,640 --> 01:11:56,840
Speaker 1: Because he had Mike Hanes on the other side playing corner.

1529
01:11:57,439 --> 01:12:00,920
Speaker 1: Teams kept throwing it, Lester about it, Lester, Hey, they

1530
01:12:00,920 --> 01:12:03,280
Speaker 1: were throwing at Lester Hayes, because Mike Haynes guy wouldn't

1531
01:12:03,280 --> 01:12:05,200
Speaker 1: never open picking. I leave by while I send the

1532
01:12:05,200 --> 01:12:07,960
Speaker 1: Bills by the way, you know, everything didn't end Sunday.

1533
01:12:07,960 --> 01:12:10,200
Speaker 1: They are the third ranked past defense in the NFL.

1534
01:12:10,240 --> 01:12:12,960
Speaker 1: So the past defense is pretty good. Yeah, so then yeah, okay,

1535
01:12:13,120 --> 01:12:15,559
Speaker 1: So that's one thing. He also said, moved at Oliver

1536
01:12:15,640 --> 01:12:18,000
Speaker 1: to defensive end and put Jerry Hughes in a linebacker

1537
01:12:18,360 --> 01:12:20,320
Speaker 1: back him off the ball. I don't know about that.

1538
01:12:22,320 --> 01:12:25,400
Speaker 1: The Bills got three sacks this last week. They had

1539
01:12:25,680 --> 01:12:29,960
Speaker 1: five sacks. I think against the Tennessee Titans. They're starting

1540
01:12:29,960 --> 01:12:31,640
Speaker 1: to get home a little more than they have in

1541
01:12:31,640 --> 01:12:34,720
Speaker 1: the past. They're certainly they're not a defense that's that's

1542
01:12:34,760 --> 01:12:36,920
Speaker 1: gonna get you know, fifty sacks in a season or

1543
01:12:36,960 --> 01:12:39,760
Speaker 1: sixty sacks in a season. But I think they're very

1544
01:12:39,800 --> 01:12:41,439
Speaker 1: I think they're happy with the pressure they're putting on.

1545
01:12:41,479 --> 01:12:43,519
Speaker 1: Certainly they'd like to get home a little bit more.

1546
01:12:43,840 --> 01:12:49,120
Speaker 1: They had Ryan Fitzpatrick bottled up in the pocket before

1547
01:12:49,120 --> 01:12:50,960
Speaker 1: we ran for fifteen yards in a touchdown, if you

1548
01:12:51,000 --> 01:12:52,960
Speaker 1: remember that two weeks ago. So they missed a couple

1549
01:12:53,000 --> 01:12:55,519
Speaker 1: where they did get home. So there's that. I don't.

1550
01:12:55,760 --> 01:12:58,559
Speaker 1: I don't. I'm not up for a wholesale change on defense,

1551
01:12:58,600 --> 01:13:00,720
Speaker 1: moving guys around, starting to try and get I think

1552
01:13:00,760 --> 01:13:03,280
Speaker 1: that's crazy talking. You've got a top five defense, they're

1553
01:13:03,320 --> 01:13:05,720
Speaker 1: playing good. They had a bad week, and just chalk

1554
01:13:05,760 --> 01:13:08,000
Speaker 1: it up to that. Now, if it continues, then maybe,

1555
01:13:08,000 --> 01:13:11,280
Speaker 1: but not after uh not after winning by eleven points

1556
01:13:11,320 --> 01:13:14,320
Speaker 1: against the Dolphins and winning by you know, getting beat

1557
01:13:14,400 --> 01:13:17,240
Speaker 1: on a bad day against the Philadelphia Eagles. So I'm

1558
01:13:17,320 --> 01:13:18,840
Speaker 1: i'd said, and I'm and I'm with him. He also

1559
01:13:18,840 --> 01:13:20,960
Speaker 1: said about McCoy, if they didn't want to Levion bell

1560
01:13:21,120 --> 01:13:26,240
Speaker 1: Or or Melvin Gordon, you know why why those guys

1561
01:13:26,240 --> 01:13:28,320
Speaker 1: are not Lashaw McCoy or why you know they if

1562
01:13:28,320 --> 01:13:30,000
Speaker 1: they want to pay that much money to a running back,

1563
01:13:30,000 --> 01:13:33,200
Speaker 1: they would have paid Lashawan McCoy. McCoy, you know, is

1564
01:13:33,200 --> 01:13:37,320
Speaker 1: older than those guys, is a different player. But I

1565
01:13:37,360 --> 01:13:39,320
Speaker 1: think they liked the guys they've got here, and it

1566
01:13:39,720 --> 01:13:41,559
Speaker 1: would be for the right price. And unless they can

1567
01:13:41,560 --> 01:13:43,719
Speaker 1: get Melvin Gordon signed to a long term deal before

1568
01:13:43,760 --> 01:13:46,599
Speaker 1: the trade, they won't make that trade. Thick call here

1569
01:13:46,720 --> 01:13:49,519
Speaker 1: from uh Buffalo. Hi, you're on the line with us.

1570
01:13:49,520 --> 01:13:52,599
Speaker 1: I don't have your name what's your name? My name

1571
01:13:52,600 --> 01:13:53,920
Speaker 1: is Mike. Hi, Mike, you're on the air with this

1572
01:13:54,040 --> 01:13:56,759
Speaker 1: go ahead. Hey, good, Hey, talk to you guys last weekend.

1573
01:13:56,800 --> 01:13:59,920
Speaker 1: Thanks for the conversation. This week, I'm thinking the Weenia

1574
01:14:00,120 --> 01:14:03,160
Speaker 1: new offensive coordinator. Okay, I was just not doing the

1575
01:14:03,240 --> 01:14:06,000
Speaker 1: job for seven weeks. What's he'd done? You know, he

1576
01:14:06,080 --> 01:14:08,280
Speaker 1: had ten days to work on the Miami game and

1577
01:14:09,080 --> 01:14:12,479
Speaker 1: barely We barely won that offensively. Then we had a

1578
01:14:12,479 --> 01:14:15,800
Speaker 1: week against Philadelphia he had you know, he knew they

1579
01:14:15,800 --> 01:14:18,000
Speaker 1: were going to come in angry. He didn't plan for

1580
01:14:18,040 --> 01:14:20,920
Speaker 1: that properly. We haven't scored a lot of points. I

1581
01:14:20,960 --> 01:14:23,400
Speaker 1: think we need enough offensive coordinator. We're not going to

1582
01:14:23,479 --> 01:14:25,720
Speaker 1: trade they make a big splash, like you said, if

1583
01:14:25,720 --> 01:14:28,720
Speaker 1: we're going to stand pat and it just tells the

1584
01:14:28,760 --> 01:14:31,400
Speaker 1: players either we're not going to try to get better

1585
01:14:31,520 --> 01:14:33,880
Speaker 1: or we have the right pieces in place. After the

1586
01:14:33,960 --> 01:14:35,760
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks, I think we need to get

1587
01:14:35,800 --> 01:14:37,960
Speaker 1: better with a trade Like I wouldn't look for that

1588
01:14:38,439 --> 01:14:41,479
Speaker 1: that move an offensive coordinator now in the middle of

1589
01:14:41,479 --> 01:14:45,640
Speaker 1: the season, and Brian Dabo cannot just be judged on

1590
01:14:45,760 --> 01:14:48,840
Speaker 1: Sunday's game or on the previous six before that. He's

1591
01:14:48,840 --> 01:14:50,479
Speaker 1: been here for a second year. What has he done?

1592
01:14:50,520 --> 01:14:52,360
Speaker 1: I think he's done a lot. I think he is

1593
01:14:53,080 --> 01:14:55,559
Speaker 1: in charge of Josh Allen's development and he's got a

1594
01:14:55,560 --> 01:14:57,120
Speaker 1: lot of work to do in that area. But I

1595
01:14:57,160 --> 01:14:59,800
Speaker 1: think he's improved. Josh Allen has improved. I think with

1596
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:04,000
Speaker 1: the weapons provided the Bills offense this year, I think

1597
01:15:04,040 --> 01:15:06,240
Speaker 1: they have I know they have improved offensively either not

1598
01:15:06,320 --> 01:15:08,400
Speaker 1: where they need to be, but they have improved with

1599
01:15:08,600 --> 01:15:11,040
Speaker 1: much more room to come. And it's not just play calling.

1600
01:15:11,080 --> 01:15:12,559
Speaker 1: How many times are you going to say that, it's

1601
01:15:12,600 --> 01:15:14,960
Speaker 1: not just what play did you run here? What play

1602
01:15:14,960 --> 01:15:18,040
Speaker 1: did you run there? That's a percentage of the coordinator job.

1603
01:15:18,040 --> 01:15:19,439
Speaker 1: It's not all of it. You want to speak how

1604
01:15:19,479 --> 01:15:21,280
Speaker 1: much Mike, are you still there? How much do you

1605
01:15:21,280 --> 01:15:25,200
Speaker 1: put on the players for running the offense? Well enough? Well,

1606
01:15:25,240 --> 01:15:28,040
Speaker 1: you know, here's a call play we were It was

1607
01:15:28,080 --> 01:15:30,680
Speaker 1: third and two. So we're gonna pick one play, one

1608
01:15:30,680 --> 01:15:34,080
Speaker 1: play out of hundreds this year. Go ahead, third and two.

1609
01:15:34,120 --> 01:15:36,000
Speaker 1: We're having a problem throwing the ball deep, and he

1610
01:15:36,080 --> 01:15:38,000
Speaker 1: chose the ball deep on third and two when we

1611
01:15:38,040 --> 01:15:41,920
Speaker 1: had the ball roughly at the forty. He's calling plays. Well,

1612
01:15:42,000 --> 01:15:44,599
Speaker 1: wait minute, let's talk about that. They also, let's try

1613
01:15:44,640 --> 01:15:46,880
Speaker 1: to do something that they haven't had success to. Right,

1614
01:15:46,960 --> 01:15:49,640
Speaker 1: Let's try to do something people clamoring for. Where's the

1615
01:15:49,680 --> 01:15:52,639
Speaker 1: deep pass? That's what Josh does best. Um, let's try

1616
01:15:52,640 --> 01:15:56,120
Speaker 1: it third and two. You're right, let's try it. You

1617
01:15:56,120 --> 01:15:59,160
Speaker 1: can't have it both ways, you know. Then you know

1618
01:15:59,200 --> 01:16:02,200
Speaker 1: a day balls working on Josh. I hate to say this.

1619
01:16:02,280 --> 01:16:04,879
Speaker 1: I love Josh as a guy, but look at Minshew,

1620
01:16:04,960 --> 01:16:08,000
Speaker 1: look at Kyle Allen, look at You're giving up on Josh.

1621
01:16:08,040 --> 01:16:12,000
Speaker 1: Then okay, now I'm not giving up one. Let's get

1622
01:16:12,080 --> 01:16:14,040
Speaker 1: him working a little better. Let's teach him how to

1623
01:16:14,080 --> 01:16:15,680
Speaker 1: hold on to the ball. Let's teach him how to

1624
01:16:16,320 --> 01:16:18,360
Speaker 1: you know, not to fumble as many times as he can.

1625
01:16:18,600 --> 01:16:20,519
Speaker 1: I know he comes by the help me out here

1626
01:16:20,560 --> 01:16:23,599
Speaker 1: before I get angry. Well, Mikey, listen, you're you're acting

1627
01:16:23,640 --> 01:16:25,720
Speaker 1: like Josh is living in a vacuum, and and you

1628
01:16:25,800 --> 01:16:27,880
Speaker 1: got to put some of this on him. He is

1629
01:16:27,880 --> 01:16:29,880
Speaker 1: playing better than he did. He has cut down on

1630
01:16:29,920 --> 01:16:32,559
Speaker 1: his interceptions and he does and he did. He coughed

1631
01:16:32,640 --> 01:16:34,439
Speaker 1: up the ball a little bit this last week against

1632
01:16:34,439 --> 01:16:37,400
Speaker 1: a really good defensive front once. But let's face it,

1633
01:16:39,120 --> 01:16:41,679
Speaker 1: he's playing way better than he did twelve months ago.

1634
01:16:41,720 --> 01:16:44,160
Speaker 1: He's in his eighteenth about to make his nineteenth start.

1635
01:16:44,200 --> 01:16:47,120
Speaker 1: He's ten and eight as a starter, and we don't

1636
01:16:47,280 --> 01:16:49,320
Speaker 1: and I think you'll agree he hasn't even we haven't

1637
01:16:49,360 --> 01:16:52,360
Speaker 1: even tapped into his potential at the top end of

1638
01:16:52,400 --> 01:16:54,400
Speaker 1: his game yet. And I think, but I think we're

1639
01:16:54,479 --> 01:16:56,280
Speaker 1: still on our way to getting there. They are tangible

1640
01:16:56,280 --> 01:16:58,559
Speaker 1: things you can point to every week to say, this

1641
01:16:58,600 --> 01:17:01,040
Speaker 1: guy is playing better and better and better. And after

1642
01:17:01,080 --> 01:17:03,479
Speaker 1: a tough week, I get it. It's hard to sit

1643
01:17:03,520 --> 01:17:07,120
Speaker 1: there and see this team get get beat by eighteen

1644
01:17:07,160 --> 01:17:09,040
Speaker 1: points in their own building. But let me tell you

1645
01:17:09,080 --> 01:17:11,920
Speaker 1: something that there's a lot of things in there that

1646
01:17:12,000 --> 01:17:14,800
Speaker 1: I loved about that and Brian day balls one of them.

1647
01:17:15,479 --> 01:17:19,519
Speaker 1: Josh Allen coughed it up on the most conservative play

1648
01:17:19,600 --> 01:17:24,000
Speaker 1: call you can have, at the most conservative play call.

1649
01:17:24,080 --> 01:17:27,240
Speaker 1: Every they turned it over, you're gonna blame that on

1650
01:17:27,280 --> 01:17:31,160
Speaker 1: the offensive coordinator. And then you're and I know, Mike,

1651
01:17:31,200 --> 01:17:33,519
Speaker 1: you see it a different way. But we've had what

1652
01:17:34,960 --> 01:17:37,800
Speaker 1: every other caller we put put on the air says,

1653
01:17:37,840 --> 01:17:39,439
Speaker 1: they gotta throw the deep ball, they gotta throw the

1654
01:17:39,479 --> 01:17:40,880
Speaker 1: deep ball, they gotta throw the deep ball. And now

1655
01:17:40,880 --> 01:17:42,880
Speaker 1: you're getting magazin. They throw the deep ball on third

1656
01:17:42,880 --> 01:17:46,840
Speaker 1: and two. I mean, you know, what are we talking

1657
01:17:46,880 --> 01:17:50,000
Speaker 1: about here? We're all over the map, and you know

1658
01:17:50,000 --> 01:17:53,400
Speaker 1: it's if you're gonna have, you know, fix it. Your

1659
01:17:53,479 --> 01:17:56,960
Speaker 1: fix is somebody else's making it broken more broken. And

1660
01:17:57,040 --> 01:17:58,800
Speaker 1: the way you want to break it is the way

1661
01:17:58,840 --> 01:18:01,000
Speaker 1: somebody else wants to fix it. I think you just

1662
01:18:01,240 --> 01:18:03,559
Speaker 1: need to, you know, take a deep breath and say, Man,

1663
01:18:04,240 --> 01:18:06,160
Speaker 1: they're five and two and they're playing pretty good football.

1664
01:18:06,200 --> 01:18:09,160
Speaker 1: Had a bad day Benny in Buffalo, Hello, Bennie walks

1665
01:18:09,160 --> 01:18:11,719
Speaker 1: into the show. Hey, how are you doing? Good? Best

1666
01:18:11,720 --> 01:18:13,519
Speaker 1: thing the Bills to do right now? We need a

1667
01:18:13,560 --> 01:18:17,400
Speaker 1: big fast before receiver, and I believe Mike Evans would

1668
01:18:17,400 --> 01:18:19,160
Speaker 1: definitely make that happen. So you do what you gotta

1669
01:18:19,160 --> 01:18:24,200
Speaker 1: do and pull the trigger. What would you? What's your price? Whatever?

1670
01:18:24,720 --> 01:18:27,800
Speaker 1: Longest it is not too much? Right enough, I'll go

1671
01:18:27,880 --> 01:18:29,400
Speaker 1: getting all right? Let me all right, let me run

1672
01:18:29,400 --> 01:18:32,479
Speaker 1: a couple of things by you, Vinnie? All right, you're ready? Yeah?

1673
01:18:32,520 --> 01:18:35,760
Speaker 1: All right? Would you give up a number one? M

1674
01:18:36,560 --> 01:18:39,000
Speaker 1: you would? I will give up another one in the

1675
01:18:39,080 --> 01:18:43,080
Speaker 1: heart beat? Really okay? You give up like Tremaine Edmonds

1676
01:18:43,680 --> 01:18:50,160
Speaker 1: for Mike Evans, because that's what you're talking about. See,

1677
01:18:50,360 --> 01:18:53,439
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. You're not to hit on

1678
01:18:53,439 --> 01:18:55,840
Speaker 1: the first round pick every time? Right, I get you,

1679
01:18:56,160 --> 01:18:58,880
Speaker 1: Like Mike Evans, he would be big enough, strong enough

1680
01:18:59,400 --> 01:19:02,320
Speaker 1: to compete with any quarterback in the league. Yeah, I

1681
01:19:02,360 --> 01:19:05,880
Speaker 1: get you, Allen. All right, So let me just ask

1682
01:19:05,880 --> 01:19:07,760
Speaker 1: you this. You have enough faith and I and I

1683
01:19:07,920 --> 01:19:09,599
Speaker 1: and I applaud you if you do. You have enough

1684
01:19:09,640 --> 01:19:11,400
Speaker 1: faith in Josh Allen. And if they get a guy

1685
01:19:11,439 --> 01:19:14,479
Speaker 1: like Mike Evans, Josh Allen is automatically gonna be able

1686
01:19:14,479 --> 01:19:17,840
Speaker 1: to look at him, find him and hit him all day,

1687
01:19:18,120 --> 01:19:20,559
Speaker 1: all day. All right, man, you got you got beasy

1688
01:19:20,600 --> 01:19:24,360
Speaker 1: covering underneath. You got John Brown on the ouse. Who

1689
01:19:24,400 --> 01:19:26,759
Speaker 1: you go cover? You always run to draw the middle

1690
01:19:26,800 --> 01:19:30,080
Speaker 1: with Devin Singletary. I don't see nobody's stopping him. So

1691
01:19:30,120 --> 01:19:31,720
Speaker 1: I think you're I don't think. I do not think

1692
01:19:31,720 --> 01:19:33,840
Speaker 1: you're alone, Vinny. I think there's a group of fans

1693
01:19:33,880 --> 01:19:37,080
Speaker 1: out there for Buffalo who think a guy like Mike Evans,

1694
01:19:37,200 --> 01:19:43,200
Speaker 1: or a guy like uh DeAndre Hopkins or Michael Thomas

1695
01:19:43,200 --> 01:19:47,160
Speaker 1: in New Orleans or Keenan Allen and like, oh, one

1696
01:19:47,160 --> 01:19:50,479
Speaker 1: of these guys that we're talking about. You're thinking one

1697
01:19:50,520 --> 01:19:54,840
Speaker 1: of those guys, AJ Green, Julio Jones, they are a

1698
01:19:55,280 --> 01:19:58,599
Speaker 1: magic wand that you're gonna line up in the Buffalo

1699
01:19:58,640 --> 01:20:01,840
Speaker 1: Bill's offense and then we're scoring thirty points a game.

1700
01:20:03,080 --> 01:20:05,960
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say a j great because he's injury prone.

1701
01:20:06,479 --> 01:20:09,320
Speaker 1: But everybody else you mentioned, go get one of them. Right.

1702
01:20:09,320 --> 01:20:11,320
Speaker 1: You're saying the Bucks are looking to trade Mike Evans

1703
01:20:11,360 --> 01:20:13,680
Speaker 1: because I'm reading stuff, and they've read stuff that said there,

1704
01:20:13,680 --> 01:20:15,800
Speaker 1: it's not really on their radar. I don't know if

1705
01:20:15,800 --> 01:20:17,599
Speaker 1: they're looking to get rid of them lead. I believe

1706
01:20:17,640 --> 01:20:21,240
Speaker 1: t is two and five this year. Yeah, right price,

1707
01:20:21,280 --> 01:20:23,840
Speaker 1: they'll let them go. Yeah, you're probably right about that.

1708
01:20:23,880 --> 01:20:27,040
Speaker 1: Everybody's for sale for the right price. Vinnie, we're talking

1709
01:20:27,040 --> 01:20:30,559
Speaker 1: about professional football players. You're right, and I and I'm

1710
01:20:30,640 --> 01:20:33,680
Speaker 1: yeah when I say name one of those guys, so

1711
01:20:33,840 --> 01:20:38,240
Speaker 1: you and I applause you because I don't know that

1712
01:20:38,400 --> 01:20:41,880
Speaker 1: one more player, even even a quality wide receiver like

1713
01:20:42,040 --> 01:20:44,000
Speaker 1: people have been talking about. I don't know that that's

1714
01:20:44,040 --> 01:20:47,240
Speaker 1: the magic elixir. I think it's more about Josh Allen

1715
01:20:47,280 --> 01:20:51,639
Speaker 1: and his ability to make plays the mundane everyday place,

1716
01:20:51,760 --> 01:20:54,600
Speaker 1: let alone the over the top long balls that have

1717
01:20:54,680 --> 01:20:57,160
Speaker 1: been opened and we missed. I think it's more about

1718
01:20:57,240 --> 01:20:59,080
Speaker 1: Josh than it is about who he's throwing to and

1719
01:20:59,160 --> 01:21:01,280
Speaker 1: all of that, I think, and I've always said this

1720
01:21:02,040 --> 01:21:04,360
Speaker 1: in my experience and my teams that I was on

1721
01:21:04,439 --> 01:21:06,280
Speaker 1: and had, I had a really good guy doing and

1722
01:21:06,320 --> 01:21:09,160
Speaker 1: I thought it was the guy pulling the trigger makes

1723
01:21:09,200 --> 01:21:11,720
Speaker 1: the opportunities for the guy who catch guys who catch it.

1724
01:21:12,080 --> 01:21:14,040
Speaker 1: And I think we got enough guys on the squad

1725
01:21:14,080 --> 01:21:16,680
Speaker 1: now that we can win with. And certainly, and I've

1726
01:21:16,680 --> 01:21:19,760
Speaker 1: always been saying this, we'd be foolish not to get

1727
01:21:20,520 --> 01:21:22,240
Speaker 1: one of the guys we're talking about if we can

1728
01:21:22,320 --> 01:21:25,479
Speaker 1: at the right price, Absolutely no question. But I'm not

1729
01:21:25,560 --> 01:21:27,920
Speaker 1: thinking that one of those guys, as good as they are,

1730
01:21:28,040 --> 01:21:32,120
Speaker 1: or the be all, end all cure all for the

1731
01:21:32,160 --> 01:21:36,519
Speaker 1: bill's offensive problems. Call from Joe in Caledonia. Hello Joe,

1732
01:21:36,680 --> 01:21:39,120
Speaker 1: Welcome to the show. Hey guys, how are you doing? Man?

1733
01:21:39,120 --> 01:21:42,320
Speaker 1: Thanks for taking my call? Well? Sure, thanks. You know,

1734
01:21:42,360 --> 01:21:45,000
Speaker 1: we're talking about all these sexy players that we could

1735
01:21:45,000 --> 01:21:48,360
Speaker 1: bring in, the wide receivers, the running backs, but you

1736
01:21:48,439 --> 01:21:50,920
Speaker 1: know who I'd like to see them go get. I

1737
01:21:50,960 --> 01:21:53,800
Speaker 1: am not sold on Quentin Spain and I am not

1738
01:21:53,960 --> 01:21:58,120
Speaker 1: sold on Feliciano. Let's make a run to Brandon Sheriff

1739
01:21:58,280 --> 01:22:00,960
Speaker 1: the offense of guard for the Regis, and he's young enough.

1740
01:22:01,439 --> 01:22:04,080
Speaker 1: We could lock him up and he'd be a solid edition.

1741
01:22:04,160 --> 01:22:06,640
Speaker 1: Right now, I will agree with you. I would be

1742
01:22:06,720 --> 01:22:09,720
Speaker 1: open to upgrades on the offensive line. And I know

1743
01:22:09,760 --> 01:22:12,360
Speaker 1: they signed you know, four new ones this year, and

1744
01:22:12,720 --> 01:22:14,800
Speaker 1: I applaud that they brought it. Would you say ten

1745
01:22:14,800 --> 01:22:16,280
Speaker 1: of them? They had a training camp and I saw

1746
01:22:16,439 --> 01:22:18,880
Speaker 1: that there were fifteen guys on the rosters. You know,

1747
01:22:18,920 --> 01:22:21,800
Speaker 1: obviously they're not all here anymore. But yeah, I would

1748
01:22:21,800 --> 01:22:23,880
Speaker 1: be okay with an upgrade on the offensive line. I

1749
01:22:23,920 --> 01:22:26,599
Speaker 1: think that would be a big step forward and fixing

1750
01:22:26,640 --> 01:22:28,880
Speaker 1: what goes wrong on the Buffalo offense which needs fixing.

1751
01:22:29,000 --> 01:22:30,800
Speaker 1: And it's the age, the age that he's at, we

1752
01:22:30,800 --> 01:22:32,680
Speaker 1: could lock him in. I think he's watch twenty six.

1753
01:22:32,760 --> 01:22:35,599
Speaker 1: I think he came out in two fifteen. I think

1754
01:22:35,640 --> 01:22:37,160
Speaker 1: he'd be a great addition we could hang on to

1755
01:22:37,360 --> 01:22:39,719
Speaker 1: for four or five years. Well, I'll tell you this, Joe,

1756
01:22:40,640 --> 01:22:45,680
Speaker 1: It's my philosophy and football. You can never ever have

1757
01:22:45,840 --> 01:22:50,160
Speaker 1: too many good offensive lineman or great offensive lineman. You

1758
01:22:50,280 --> 01:22:53,680
Speaker 1: just cannot. You cannot have too many of them. We

1759
01:22:53,720 --> 01:22:56,040
Speaker 1: have the receivers, we have the playmakers to win with

1760
01:22:56,240 --> 01:22:59,200
Speaker 1: right now, but it starts up front. I mean, we

1761
01:23:00,160 --> 01:23:01,920
Speaker 1: to get our guys, our running backs have to have

1762
01:23:01,960 --> 01:23:03,800
Speaker 1: the opportunity to hit the gaps and get into the

1763
01:23:03,800 --> 01:23:06,840
Speaker 1: secondary or get into the linebacking area. They're getting they're

1764
01:23:06,840 --> 01:23:10,000
Speaker 1: getting met in the backfield right now. I'm sorry, but

1765
01:23:10,120 --> 01:23:12,200
Speaker 1: I'm not sold on not sold on Quickney spin As.

1766
01:23:12,200 --> 01:23:16,519
Speaker 1: We're starting guard. Okay, okay, Brandon Sure first rounder in

1767
01:23:17,360 --> 01:23:20,880
Speaker 1: two thousand and fifteen, two three's in the final year

1768
01:23:20,880 --> 01:23:24,240
Speaker 1: of his contract, right so you'd have to know easy exactly. Yeah,

1769
01:23:24,240 --> 01:23:26,680
Speaker 1: you have to resign him, but that'd be something I

1770
01:23:26,720 --> 01:23:28,800
Speaker 1: would look at absolutely. Thanks for calling. I got a

1771
01:23:28,840 --> 01:23:30,679
Speaker 1: break here. We're coming back with more. One Bill's Life

1772
01:23:30,720 --> 01:23:34,160
Speaker 1: presented by Kalida Health from the Seneca Studio in Orchard Park,

1773
01:23:34,160 --> 01:23:58,160
Speaker 1: and this is Buffalo Bills Radio. We are so busy.

1774
01:23:58,479 --> 01:24:04,520
Speaker 1: We're watching every single Twitter feed of every NFL journalist

1775
01:24:04,520 --> 01:24:08,320
Speaker 1: in the Western hemisphere, someone whom know what they're talking about.

1776
01:24:09,360 --> 01:24:13,679
Speaker 1: This is interesting to keep Talib Graham's corner on injured reserve.

1777
01:24:14,080 --> 01:24:16,519
Speaker 1: Traded with the fifth round pick to the Dolphins, for

1778
01:24:16,560 --> 01:24:19,360
Speaker 1: a future pick. So Dolphins just want the draft pick.

1779
01:24:19,520 --> 01:24:21,439
Speaker 1: They have a Keeb Talib, but I don't think he's

1780
01:24:21,439 --> 01:24:25,240
Speaker 1: ready to play. He's on I R right. It's perfect

1781
01:24:25,320 --> 01:24:28,080
Speaker 1: for the Dolphins because they don't They won't get better

1782
01:24:28,640 --> 01:24:33,439
Speaker 1: until next year when he comes in and plays, right,

1783
01:24:34,560 --> 01:24:39,160
Speaker 1: so they'll, you know, a future pick, a fifth round

1784
01:24:39,400 --> 01:24:44,680
Speaker 1: picked to Miami comes to the comes to Miami with

1785
01:24:44,960 --> 01:24:51,120
Speaker 1: Talib for a future pick from Miami. I would Talib

1786
01:24:51,240 --> 01:24:53,640
Speaker 1: is thirty three years old, asmuch long as he's gonna play,

1787
01:24:54,360 --> 01:24:55,760
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? The best year is way

1788
01:24:55,800 --> 01:25:00,960
Speaker 1: behind him. Okay, Dolphins. Yeah, you can drive yourself nuts

1789
01:25:00,960 --> 01:25:03,080
Speaker 1: trying to figure out what the Dolphins are doing, right gosh,

1790
01:25:03,120 --> 01:25:05,879
Speaker 1: I mean, you know it's clear what they're doing. Stay

1791
01:25:06,000 --> 01:25:08,599
Speaker 1: to get there. I don't know. I don't know. Injury

1792
01:25:08,600 --> 01:25:10,759
Speaker 1: reserved for the last two weeks with a rib injury,

1793
01:25:11,840 --> 01:25:14,160
Speaker 1: not ready to play yet, and he's in Miami Dolphin. Now,

1794
01:25:14,479 --> 01:25:15,800
Speaker 1: did you want you did watch some of the game

1795
01:25:15,880 --> 01:25:18,839
Speaker 1: last night? The Dolphins were dreadful. They got the fourteen

1796
01:25:18,880 --> 01:25:21,280
Speaker 1: to nothing lead and and then it got bad and

1797
01:25:21,360 --> 01:25:26,160
Speaker 1: it was they're getting second guess about their blitz call

1798
01:25:26,240 --> 01:25:29,040
Speaker 1: on the one long Pittsburgh touchdown and people that have

1799
01:25:29,080 --> 01:25:31,479
Speaker 1: actually said, well, that shows you they're trying to lose

1800
01:25:31,520 --> 01:25:33,920
Speaker 1: on purpose that call that defensive call. I don't think so.

1801
01:25:34,680 --> 01:25:36,960
Speaker 1: But the moves that they made so far this year,

1802
01:25:37,000 --> 01:25:40,679
Speaker 1: you have to look at yourself and say, really, maybe right,

1803
01:25:40,840 --> 01:25:43,600
Speaker 1: you know, I'm talking about the long touchdown pass. I

1804
01:25:43,640 --> 01:25:48,800
Speaker 1: don't know, second quarter um all out blitz and the

1805
01:25:48,880 --> 01:25:51,800
Speaker 1: Steelers Mason Rudolph just torched him with a short pass

1806
01:25:51,840 --> 01:25:54,080
Speaker 1: over the middle. There was nobody home to cover anybody.

1807
01:25:54,160 --> 01:25:56,640
Speaker 1: Nobody home because somebody wasn't who was supposed to be

1808
01:25:56,640 --> 01:25:59,880
Speaker 1: playing man to man on the guy was someplace else.

1809
01:26:00,120 --> 01:26:03,880
Speaker 1: I mean, you don't call the defense with nobody covering

1810
01:26:03,920 --> 01:26:07,760
Speaker 1: the gun twenty. You don't blitz really on third and

1811
01:26:07,800 --> 01:26:09,880
Speaker 1: twenty do you have to? No, you'd back off, let

1812
01:26:09,920 --> 01:26:11,360
Speaker 1: him catch a short one, come up and make the

1813
01:26:11,360 --> 01:26:13,439
Speaker 1: tackle and here we go touch You know, he punted

1814
01:26:13,479 --> 01:26:17,000
Speaker 1: away or a long field goal at least, so I'm

1815
01:26:17,640 --> 01:26:19,680
Speaker 1: you know, And that's one of the things about this

1816
01:26:19,800 --> 01:26:22,880
Speaker 1: Kali keep Talib trade from the Rams. The Rams are

1817
01:26:23,000 --> 01:26:25,280
Speaker 1: like up against the cap all the time, so it's

1818
01:26:25,280 --> 01:26:29,080
Speaker 1: a it's probably a salary cap dump for the Rams

1819
01:26:29,360 --> 01:26:31,519
Speaker 1: to get back under the salary cap. They've you know,

1820
01:26:31,560 --> 01:26:34,519
Speaker 1: they've paid a ton of guys because they feel like

1821
01:26:34,560 --> 01:26:36,400
Speaker 1: this is their window to win. They got Sean mc

1822
01:26:36,720 --> 01:26:39,679
Speaker 1: McVeigh out there, they got Jared Goff. They just paid.

1823
01:26:39,720 --> 01:26:44,360
Speaker 1: They got some guys, and they paid all these free agents, Peters, Peterson, Talib,

1824
01:26:44,840 --> 01:26:47,120
Speaker 1: they got Aaron Donald, they got some guys that are

1825
01:26:47,120 --> 01:26:50,120
Speaker 1: trying to make a run now, Cooper Cup and so

1826
01:26:50,680 --> 01:26:52,960
Speaker 1: they're up against the salary cap. And if Talib's not

1827
01:26:52,960 --> 01:26:54,720
Speaker 1: going to help him on the field at thirty three

1828
01:26:54,760 --> 01:26:56,760
Speaker 1: years of old, they just dump his salary and him

1829
01:26:57,479 --> 01:26:59,280
Speaker 1: and get back under the cap. A couple of calls

1830
01:26:59,280 --> 01:27:03,519
Speaker 1: here Andrew in Houston. Go ahead, Andrew, how are you good?

1831
01:27:03,560 --> 01:27:07,640
Speaker 1: Thanks taking my call? Sure? So, first I wanted to

1832
01:27:07,640 --> 01:27:09,640
Speaker 1: answer the Twitter poll saying that I would love the

1833
01:27:09,640 --> 01:27:12,240
Speaker 1: builds to go out and grab somebody. If they do great,

1834
01:27:12,360 --> 01:27:15,479
Speaker 1: they don't, that's okay too. You know, maybe a just

1835
01:27:15,560 --> 01:27:17,439
Speaker 1: to throw one out there, a fourth or fifth pick

1836
01:27:17,560 --> 01:27:20,439
Speaker 1: to get Parker from the Dolphins. You know, Dolphins are

1837
01:27:20,439 --> 01:27:22,439
Speaker 1: blowing up their season. You know, he's a big body.

1838
01:27:22,479 --> 01:27:25,320
Speaker 1: I don't think he's shown his potential in that system.

1839
01:27:25,400 --> 01:27:28,599
Speaker 1: Maybe bringing them the Buffalo playing under Nick Garment could

1840
01:27:28,600 --> 01:27:30,240
Speaker 1: bring something out of him that we don't have. Do

1841
01:27:30,280 --> 01:27:31,720
Speaker 1: you think they gave him up for a fourth or

1842
01:27:31,760 --> 01:27:33,840
Speaker 1: fifth He was like a premium first rounder just a

1843
01:27:33,840 --> 01:27:37,680
Speaker 1: couple of years ago. Yeah, because the Dolphins don't care

1844
01:27:37,920 --> 01:27:42,320
Speaker 1: right now. They don't care about this year. Yeah, they

1845
01:27:42,320 --> 01:27:44,800
Speaker 1: don't care about this right they care about what draft

1846
01:27:44,840 --> 01:27:46,759
Speaker 1: picks you're giving him. I would think for a pretty

1847
01:27:46,760 --> 01:27:48,679
Speaker 1: good asset. I don't know. I just don't think they'd

1848
01:27:48,680 --> 01:27:50,720
Speaker 1: be enough. No. But if it is, I mean, yeah,

1849
01:27:50,720 --> 01:27:52,479
Speaker 1: i'd make that deal. But I don't think it's gonna

1850
01:27:52,520 --> 01:27:56,360
Speaker 1: be enough. What else you got, Andrew? But well, I

1851
01:27:56,360 --> 01:27:58,960
Speaker 1: also wanted to talk a lot of these guys calling

1852
01:27:59,000 --> 01:28:02,040
Speaker 1: in yesterday about trying to get rid of Dable. I

1853
01:28:02,080 --> 01:28:07,080
Speaker 1: don't understand their logic because I see football and an

1854
01:28:07,080 --> 01:28:10,080
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator calling plays. He's calling what he sees from

1855
01:28:10,080 --> 01:28:13,000
Speaker 1: the sideline, what he's film studied, you know, what he's

1856
01:28:13,040 --> 01:28:16,120
Speaker 1: done throughout the week. He called the play, and I

1857
01:28:16,400 --> 01:28:19,080
Speaker 1: feel that a tallenge job being a team, you know,

1858
01:28:19,200 --> 01:28:22,280
Speaker 1: Tim and Dable as a tag team, looking at what

1859
01:28:22,320 --> 01:28:24,160
Speaker 1: he called and see him it's gonna work, and being

1860
01:28:24,200 --> 01:28:26,720
Speaker 1: able to audible out of it call a different play

1861
01:28:26,840 --> 01:28:28,840
Speaker 1: do whatever he's gotta do. If he thinks it's gonna work,

1862
01:28:28,920 --> 01:28:31,400
Speaker 1: then he goes with it doesn't work, doesn't work. But

1863
01:28:31,680 --> 01:28:34,200
Speaker 1: I don't think that's It's not Everything is not all

1864
01:28:34,240 --> 01:28:36,960
Speaker 1: on Dable. He can't take the blame for everything that

1865
01:28:37,000 --> 01:28:39,519
Speaker 1: goes wrong, right, You're you're saying, Andrew, and I'm inclined

1866
01:28:39,520 --> 01:28:41,839
Speaker 1: to agree. And I also think, so I said yesterday,

1867
01:28:41,840 --> 01:28:44,880
Speaker 1: play calling is just one facet of his job. There's

1868
01:28:44,920 --> 01:28:48,080
Speaker 1: a week's worth and months of prep that goes into

1869
01:28:48,439 --> 01:28:50,840
Speaker 1: deciding which plays are in our playbook for this game

1870
01:28:50,880 --> 01:28:54,880
Speaker 1: this week against Washington, and and play calling is twenty

1871
01:28:54,880 --> 01:28:57,479
Speaker 1: percent of the job. Maybe there's a lot more that

1872
01:28:57,479 --> 01:28:59,400
Speaker 1: goes into it than just play calling. I think people

1873
01:28:59,400 --> 01:29:02,559
Speaker 1: get hung up on that play calling is important, but

1874
01:29:02,600 --> 01:29:04,680
Speaker 1: it's not all that he does, and it maybe not

1875
01:29:04,720 --> 01:29:06,679
Speaker 1: be the most important thing you do. It's quite frankly,

1876
01:29:07,120 --> 01:29:08,680
Speaker 1: what do you think, Steve? I agree. I think it's

1877
01:29:08,720 --> 01:29:12,479
Speaker 1: frosting on the cake, you know, quite honestly, it looks great,

1878
01:29:12,560 --> 01:29:14,760
Speaker 1: and it works good, and it makes the cake look great,

1879
01:29:15,560 --> 01:29:18,040
Speaker 1: But the cake better tastes good, you know, And I

1880
01:29:18,080 --> 01:29:20,280
Speaker 1: think that's I think that's kind of the what you

1881
01:29:20,320 --> 01:29:23,519
Speaker 1: look at with this uh with an offensive coordinator's job,

1882
01:29:25,479 --> 01:29:27,880
Speaker 1: I still think it. I still think it's up to

1883
01:29:27,920 --> 01:29:30,880
Speaker 1: the players on the field more as much as an

1884
01:29:30,960 --> 01:29:33,639
Speaker 1: as much as it is the offensive play caller. Certainly

1885
01:29:33,640 --> 01:29:36,000
Speaker 1: there's an art form to it, but as we've seen,

1886
01:29:36,080 --> 01:29:39,080
Speaker 1: this is a team that I don't think it's about

1887
01:29:39,080 --> 01:29:41,760
Speaker 1: the talent. I think it's about discipline and execution. It's

1888
01:29:41,760 --> 01:29:46,840
Speaker 1: about not taking penalties, not turning it over, and executing

1889
01:29:46,880 --> 01:29:48,800
Speaker 1: the offense. I don't think it's a talent issue at

1890
01:29:48,800 --> 01:29:51,000
Speaker 1: all offensive and I don't think it's play calling issue either.

1891
01:29:51,120 --> 01:29:54,960
Speaker 1: I think it's an execution issue. And so that's that's

1892
01:29:54,960 --> 01:29:56,599
Speaker 1: where I'm at in the whole thing. A break here

1893
01:29:56,600 --> 01:29:59,920
Speaker 1: when we come back. Mike Lombardi, former NFL general manager.

1894
01:30:00,040 --> 01:30:02,320
Speaker 1: He is an NFL writing for The Athletic. He'll join

1895
01:30:02,400 --> 01:30:04,280
Speaker 1: us when we return. Come on back for that. Got

1896
01:30:04,280 --> 01:30:06,800
Speaker 1: another hour ago. One Bill's I presented by Kalada Health

1897
01:30:06,880 --> 01:30:09,839
Speaker 1: from the Seneca Studio at One Bill's Drive on Buffalo

1898
01:30:09,920 --> 01:30:26,040
Speaker 1: Bill's Radio Bills Radio Network. Sports Update from One Bill's Drive.

1899
01:30:26,080 --> 01:30:28,400
Speaker 1: It is NFL trade deadline day and things are heating

1900
01:30:28,479 --> 01:30:31,479
Speaker 1: up around the National Football League. The St. Louis, the

1901
01:30:31,920 --> 01:30:34,160
Speaker 1: Laws into this. Rams are trading cornerback I Keep to

1902
01:30:34,280 --> 01:30:36,800
Speaker 1: leave and a fifth round pick to the Dolphins for

1903
01:30:36,880 --> 01:30:39,080
Speaker 1: a future draft pick. An interesting move to leave an

1904
01:30:39,120 --> 01:30:42,080
Speaker 1: injured reserve. Not known when or if he will return

1905
01:30:42,120 --> 01:30:45,320
Speaker 1: to the lineup. In Cincinnati, the Bengals are benching quarterback

1906
01:30:45,360 --> 01:30:48,400
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton rookie Ryan Finley, their fourth round pick. Dispatch

1907
01:30:48,439 --> 01:30:51,200
Speaker 1: here from North Carolina State will start after the bye.

1908
01:30:51,240 --> 01:30:54,120
Speaker 1: Another interesting move quiet so far here at one Bills Drive.

1909
01:30:54,160 --> 01:30:56,400
Speaker 1: Bills player's day off today, they have a couple of

1910
01:30:56,439 --> 01:30:59,200
Speaker 1: injuries to be concerned with this week. Cody Ford, offensive

1911
01:30:59,200 --> 01:31:00,960
Speaker 1: lineman with his zel was going to be day to day.

1912
01:31:01,240 --> 01:31:04,000
Speaker 1: Cornerback Levi Wallace with his shoulder he also day to

1913
01:31:04,120 --> 01:31:08,040
Speaker 1: day with his shoulder injury. The Bills returned to practice tomorrow.

1914
01:31:08,040 --> 01:31:10,240
Speaker 1: They made a move on their practice squad, adding linebacker

1915
01:31:10,280 --> 01:31:14,479
Speaker 1: del Shan Phillips was with the Atlanta Falcons this past year,

1916
01:31:14,479 --> 01:31:17,000
Speaker 1: a product of the University of Illinois, and they released

1917
01:31:17,040 --> 01:31:19,839
Speaker 1: from their practice squad linebacker in Nate Hall Bills in Washington.

1918
01:31:19,880 --> 01:31:22,559
Speaker 1: Coming up Sunday one o'clock here in Orchard Park as

1919
01:31:22,600 --> 01:31:25,240
Speaker 1: Buffalo gets back to action after the loss to the

1920
01:31:25,280 --> 01:31:29,080
Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles. A surprising moved. The Chargers fired offensive coordinator

1921
01:31:29,120 --> 01:31:31,760
Speaker 1: Ken wizzen Hunt yesterday. They ranked near the bottom of

1922
01:31:31,800 --> 01:31:34,960
Speaker 1: the league in several offensive categories, leading to his removal.

1923
01:31:35,000 --> 01:31:38,160
Speaker 1: He'd been their offensive coordinator since twenty sixteen. Last night,

1924
01:31:38,160 --> 01:31:40,320
Speaker 1: Steelers running back James Connor left the field with his

1925
01:31:40,479 --> 01:31:43,360
Speaker 1: right arm in a sling. He has an ac joint

1926
01:31:43,400 --> 01:31:46,479
Speaker 1: injury and is being evaluated. Connord injured near the two

1927
01:31:46,479 --> 01:31:48,400
Speaker 1: minute warning. He had one hundred forty five yards on

1928
01:31:48,439 --> 01:31:50,639
Speaker 1: the ground last night for the Steelers in their twenty

1929
01:31:50,640 --> 01:31:53,720
Speaker 1: seven fourteen win over the Miami Dolphins. Sabers lost to

1930
01:31:53,720 --> 01:31:56,240
Speaker 1: Arizona in a shootout last night, three to two. Jeff

1931
01:31:56,280 --> 01:31:58,280
Speaker 1: Skinner with two points. Jack Icole had a goal to

1932
01:31:58,360 --> 01:32:01,799
Speaker 1: Sabers finished the month about with nine wins, two losses,

1933
01:32:01,800 --> 01:32:04,080
Speaker 1: and two ties. There are twenty points in the month.

1934
01:32:04,120 --> 01:32:07,160
Speaker 1: Fell shy of tying the franchise record for the opening

1935
01:32:07,160 --> 01:32:09,320

01:32:48,520 --> 01:32:51,479
Speaker 1: around the league, gms are getting to work these days

1951
01:32:51,479 --> 01:32:53,760
Speaker 1: trying to add to their team, if not build their team.

1952
01:32:53,760 --> 01:32:56,160
Speaker 1: It's a big day today, isn't it. Yeah, it is.

1953
01:32:56,240 --> 01:32:59,519
Speaker 1: I think we're seeing more NBA type transactions than anything.

1954
01:32:59,560 --> 01:33:01,919
Speaker 1: I think this The lead trade clearly was a salary

1955
01:33:02,000 --> 01:33:04,800
Speaker 1: dump for the Rams. They need to create some cap room.

1956
01:33:04,800 --> 01:33:08,040
Speaker 1: They took on the responsibility of trying to get Jalen

1957
01:33:08,160 --> 01:33:10,920
Speaker 1: Ramsey to a contract. They need as much cap room

1958
01:33:10,920 --> 01:33:13,640
Speaker 1: as they possibly can get, so dumping him. They had

1959
01:33:13,680 --> 01:33:15,880
Speaker 1: to give a fifth round pick for Miami to take them,

1960
01:33:16,160 --> 01:33:18,719
Speaker 1: So that tells you all you need to know. Yeah,

1961
01:33:18,800 --> 01:33:20,840
Speaker 1: you talk about what these gems are doing today. I

1962
01:33:20,840 --> 01:33:23,599
Speaker 1: know that the phone lines were ringing all over the league,

1963
01:33:23,600 --> 01:33:26,320
Speaker 1: particularly with the thrash of quarterbacks that have been benched

1964
01:33:26,680 --> 01:33:29,000
Speaker 1: and changed out and guys who were injured. We found

1965
01:33:29,040 --> 01:33:32,120
Speaker 1: out about Teddy Bridgewater in New Orleans because of Drew

1966
01:33:32,160 --> 01:33:35,240
Speaker 1: Brees's injury. Do you think there'll be any quarterbacks changing

1967
01:33:35,240 --> 01:33:39,439
Speaker 1: teams today? You know, I think unless the Bears have

1968
01:33:39,880 --> 01:33:42,360
Speaker 1: truth serum and decide that they really need to move

1969
01:33:42,400 --> 01:33:45,719
Speaker 1: on from Mitchell. And I call him MVP Mitch because

1970
01:33:45,720 --> 01:33:48,479
Speaker 1: this summer when I was in Vegas, all the sports

1971
01:33:48,520 --> 01:33:51,040
Speaker 1: books were complaining about how much liability they had on

1972
01:33:51,080 --> 01:33:54,599
Speaker 1: Mitch Traubisky as the MVP of the league, and I laughed,

1973
01:33:54,640 --> 01:33:57,320
Speaker 1: I'm like, that's not a bet, that's a donation. You

1974
01:33:57,360 --> 01:34:00,240
Speaker 1: should get at least a tax refund for that. But

1975
01:34:00,760 --> 01:34:03,400
Speaker 1: you know, MVP Mitch is not a very good player.

1976
01:34:03,439 --> 01:34:06,960
Speaker 1: They're struggling there offensively. I think if Andy Dalton were

1977
01:34:07,000 --> 01:34:09,080
Speaker 1: available and they could get him for the right price,

1978
01:34:09,120 --> 01:34:10,760
Speaker 1: they should take a run at him. I mean, Andy

1979
01:34:10,840 --> 01:34:14,120
Speaker 1: Dalton in that offense could be just what they need.

1980
01:34:14,479 --> 01:34:16,880
Speaker 1: He's benched today, They're going to start Ryan Finley. That's

1981
01:34:16,920 --> 01:34:19,040
Speaker 1: a guy that I think, you know, if you're Mike Brown,

1982
01:34:19,080 --> 01:34:20,880
Speaker 1: you probably should trade him. He's got another year on

1983
01:34:20,920 --> 01:34:23,800
Speaker 1: his contract, and if he's not going to be your starter,

1984
01:34:23,920 --> 01:34:25,720
Speaker 1: you can't have him as a backup. And what do

1985
01:34:25,720 --> 01:34:27,559
Speaker 1: you think has happening? You were GM of the Browns

1986
01:34:27,600 --> 01:34:30,439
Speaker 1: back in twenty thirteen and fourteen, and even since then,

1987
01:34:30,880 --> 01:34:33,479
Speaker 1: even in the last four or five years, the trade

1988
01:34:33,520 --> 01:34:35,280
Speaker 1: deadline is a much more active day. What do you

1989
01:34:35,320 --> 01:34:38,120
Speaker 1: think happened around the NFL to make that so? I

1990
01:34:38,160 --> 01:34:39,880
Speaker 1: think a lot of bad teams. I think there's a

1991
01:34:39,880 --> 01:34:41,680
Speaker 1: lot of teams that are just know they're on the

1992
01:34:41,720 --> 01:34:44,360
Speaker 1: next year. I mean, I counted it on my podcast,

1993
01:34:44,400 --> 01:34:48,320
Speaker 1: but every week I do it, I break down the

1994
01:34:48,360 --> 01:34:50,600
Speaker 1: teams and try to figure out how many teams legitimately

1995
01:34:50,640 --> 01:34:52,880
Speaker 1: are out of it. And I think there's over twelve

1996
01:34:52,880 --> 01:34:54,760
Speaker 1: teams that are on the next year. And when you're

1997
01:34:54,760 --> 01:34:56,920
Speaker 1: on the next year, you should be thinking about next year.

1998
01:34:56,960 --> 01:35:00,400
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously we see Miami the Jets washing. I

1999
01:35:00,400 --> 01:35:03,080
Speaker 1: mean there's some bad teams out there that need to

2000
01:35:03,120 --> 01:35:04,880
Speaker 1: focus on next year, and I think if they can

2001
01:35:04,920 --> 01:35:07,439
Speaker 1: do that will strengthen their football team. Some teams like

2002
01:35:07,479 --> 01:35:10,200
Speaker 1: Philadelphia are trying to improve their team this year. Philly

2003
01:35:10,240 --> 01:35:12,880
Speaker 1: needs another rusher, they need to improve their defensive line.

2004
01:35:13,240 --> 01:35:15,320
Speaker 1: I'm sure Buffalo would like to add things to their

2005
01:35:15,320 --> 01:35:17,599
Speaker 1: team as well. So there are some of those teams,

2006
01:35:17,640 --> 01:35:20,679
Speaker 1: and there's teams with kind of different agendas, and sometimes

2007
01:35:20,680 --> 01:35:23,160
Speaker 1: those agendas make for good trades. I wonder as a

2008
01:35:23,240 --> 01:35:26,240
Speaker 1: GM we were trying to put ourselves in the mindset

2009
01:35:26,280 --> 01:35:29,320
Speaker 1: of Brandon Bean over the last few days, how important

2010
01:35:29,400 --> 01:35:32,680
Speaker 1: is it to do self scouting, self evaluation before you

2011
01:35:32,720 --> 01:35:35,080
Speaker 1: dive into the trade market. I would think that's top

2012
01:35:35,120 --> 01:35:37,879
Speaker 1: of the list. I think that's the most critical component

2013
01:35:37,920 --> 01:35:39,320
Speaker 1: of this whole thing. I mean, you got to know

2014
01:35:39,360 --> 01:35:41,559
Speaker 1: who you are, right, You got to understand, like, really,

2015
01:35:41,600 --> 01:35:44,719
Speaker 1: what's the reason why I wrote about it a gridiron genius.

2016
01:35:45,120 --> 01:35:47,439
Speaker 1: You know, when you're in football, you're in the veterinarian business.

2017
01:35:47,439 --> 01:35:49,439
Speaker 1: The patient doesn't speak to you. So you've got to

2018
01:35:49,439 --> 01:35:52,040
Speaker 1: figure out through systems and checks which wrong with your team.

2019
01:35:52,320 --> 01:35:54,439
Speaker 1: And when you look at Buffalo, look the reality of

2020
01:35:54,479 --> 01:35:57,080
Speaker 1: the Bills are they play really good defensively. They got

2021
01:35:57,080 --> 01:35:58,880
Speaker 1: to get more out their passing game, and that's really

2022
01:35:58,920 --> 01:36:01,240
Speaker 1: about Josh Allen That's what it really comes down to.

2023
01:36:01,320 --> 01:36:03,960
Speaker 1: They got to get more consistency from their passing game.

2024
01:36:04,280 --> 01:36:06,160
Speaker 1: They've got to be able to throw the ball because

2025
01:36:06,160 --> 01:36:08,120
Speaker 1: they're going to get into games like the Eagle game

2026
01:36:08,200 --> 01:36:09,920
Speaker 1: this week, where they're not going to be able to

2027
01:36:09,920 --> 01:36:12,280
Speaker 1: really run the football. As much as you want to

2028
01:36:12,320 --> 01:36:13,640
Speaker 1: run it, the Eagles are not going to let you

2029
01:36:13,720 --> 01:36:15,760
Speaker 1: run it against them. So you got to throw to

2030
01:36:15,880 --> 01:36:17,800
Speaker 1: run it. And they've got to be able to do

2031
01:36:17,840 --> 01:36:19,720
Speaker 1: it with Josh Allen, and he's got to be more

2032
01:36:19,760 --> 01:36:22,040
Speaker 1: than athlete than quarterback. I think that's going to be

2033
01:36:22,080 --> 01:36:24,200
Speaker 1: the key. We're talking to Michael Lombardi, the host of

2034
01:36:24,240 --> 01:36:26,639
Speaker 1: the GM Shuffle podcast, and the shuffle has already begun

2035
01:36:26,760 --> 01:36:31,080
Speaker 1: in Washington. They shuffle Jay Gruden out. Is Dan Schneider

2036
01:36:32,640 --> 01:36:35,400
Speaker 1: the guy to hire the new head coach for maybe

2037
01:36:35,400 --> 01:36:37,599
Speaker 1: what can be some success? And what's the plan there

2038
01:36:37,680 --> 01:36:40,320
Speaker 1: in Washington for the next guy up. I'm certainly he's

2039
01:36:40,320 --> 01:36:44,479
Speaker 1: probably not gonna be Dan Callahan or Dave Callahan. Steve,

2040
01:36:44,520 --> 01:36:47,080
Speaker 1: I think you use the operative word their plan. They

2041
01:36:47,120 --> 01:36:50,679
Speaker 1: have no plan on Washington. Look, they've won sixty games

2042
01:36:50,680 --> 01:36:54,320
Speaker 1: since twenty and thirteen. I think they've lost eighty nine

2043
01:36:54,400 --> 01:36:57,719
Speaker 1: they lost ninety's sixty ninety had one over that time.

2044
01:36:58,120 --> 01:37:00,000
Speaker 1: They don't have a plan. I mean, Dan Snyder refused

2045
01:37:00,040 --> 01:37:03,520
Speaker 1: uses to acknowledge that culture matters. He refuses to acknowledge

2046
01:37:03,560 --> 01:37:05,840
Speaker 1: that the head coach has to be more than just

2047
01:37:05,880 --> 01:37:08,160
Speaker 1: a puppet. And as long as he does that, they

2048
01:37:08,200 --> 01:37:10,200
Speaker 1: have no chance. They're one of those teams that, as

2049
01:37:10,200 --> 01:37:12,879
Speaker 1: Bill Parcells would say, when you start the season, fifteen

2050
01:37:12,880 --> 01:37:14,920
Speaker 1: teams have no chance. They're going to be one of

2051
01:37:14,920 --> 01:37:16,720
Speaker 1: those fifteen that have no chance. I don't care who

2052
01:37:16,760 --> 01:37:19,439
Speaker 1: they get what they do. This whole Dwayne Haskins things

2053
01:37:19,560 --> 01:37:22,200
Speaker 1: is a comedy. I mean, the coach didn't want Haskins,

2054
01:37:22,400 --> 01:37:24,000
Speaker 1: he didn't want him on the team, he didn't want

2055
01:37:24,040 --> 01:37:27,120
Speaker 1: to draft them. The general manager, the president of the team,

2056
01:37:27,160 --> 01:37:29,519
Speaker 1: and the owner wanted them. So they have them. And

2057
01:37:29,560 --> 01:37:31,479
Speaker 1: now they're complaining about he's not ready, he doesn't know

2058
01:37:31,520 --> 01:37:33,720
Speaker 1: the playbook. Well, if they did any homework at him

2059
01:37:33,720 --> 01:37:35,679
Speaker 1: in Ohio State, that would have known all this. But

2060
01:37:35,720 --> 01:37:38,760
Speaker 1: they're just they're fantasy football fans. And that's what poor

2061
01:37:38,760 --> 01:37:40,920
Speaker 1: redskin fan gets. I mean, there's a time steam when

2062
01:37:40,920 --> 01:37:43,439
Speaker 1: you played in the league, you couldn't get a Redskin ticket.

2063
01:37:43,640 --> 01:37:46,160
Speaker 1: I mean, it was a long waiting list. Now they

2064
01:37:46,200 --> 01:37:48,960
Speaker 1: can't wait to give him away. You know, are that

2065
01:37:49,200 --> 01:37:53,519
Speaker 1: FedEx Field is filled with more opponent teams of visitors

2066
01:37:53,520 --> 01:37:55,800
Speaker 1: than they are home teams. So it's just a tragics

2067
01:37:55,800 --> 01:37:59,000
Speaker 1: the tragedy that the NFL allows because, let's face it,

2068
01:37:59,560 --> 01:38:02,680
Speaker 1: the revenues and the profitability of these franches, they're not

2069
01:38:02,680 --> 01:38:05,400
Speaker 1: based on win losses. They're based on TV raids. Yeah,

2070
01:38:05,560 --> 01:38:06,880
Speaker 1: one of the things I want to ask you about

2071
01:38:06,880 --> 01:38:09,120
Speaker 1: as well, you said that you know, fifteen teams have

2072
01:38:09,240 --> 01:38:11,680
Speaker 1: no shot when the season begins. I wanted to ask

2073
01:38:11,720 --> 01:38:13,880
Speaker 1: you about the teams that, you know, when you get

2074
01:38:13,880 --> 01:38:16,040
Speaker 1: to this point where they do have a shot, where

2075
01:38:16,120 --> 01:38:18,599
Speaker 1: you get to this trade deadline, and some of these

2076
01:38:18,600 --> 01:38:20,920
Speaker 1: teams do want to upgrade, and maybe they have the

2077
01:38:20,960 --> 01:38:22,800
Speaker 1: capital to do it or they don't. But the thing

2078
01:38:22,800 --> 01:38:25,280
Speaker 1: that always intrigues me is they got to find somebody

2079
01:38:25,320 --> 01:38:27,960
Speaker 1: who's willing to do business with them. Are there any

2080
01:38:28,040 --> 01:38:30,760
Speaker 1: teams that are still even at the halfway part of

2081
01:38:30,760 --> 01:38:35,120
Speaker 1: the season, have either a anything left to trade or

2082
01:38:35,280 --> 01:38:39,080
Speaker 1: be partners out there that are willing to give them

2083
01:38:39,120 --> 01:38:41,800
Speaker 1: what they want in high draft picks or capital to

2084
01:38:41,880 --> 01:38:45,240
Speaker 1: spend in next year's draft. You know what Washington certainly

2085
01:38:45,240 --> 01:38:47,240
Speaker 1: would qualify. I mean, Trent Williams isn't going to play

2086
01:38:47,240 --> 01:38:49,280
Speaker 1: for them, so he's a huge jasset. You know, they

2087
01:38:49,320 --> 01:38:51,679
Speaker 1: should trade him. They've got some good players on their team.

2088
01:38:51,720 --> 01:38:54,599
Speaker 1: They should rebuild the Giants. You know, the Giants are

2089
01:38:54,720 --> 01:38:56,760
Speaker 1: another example of a team that there's no chance to

2090
01:38:56,760 --> 01:38:58,479
Speaker 1: win this year. They're paying a ton of money to

2091
01:38:58,880 --> 01:39:00,640
Speaker 1: Nate sold or the pain, a ton of money to

2092
01:39:00,760 --> 01:39:04,280
Speaker 1: some gallic Ogletree and to Jenners Jenkins. They've got to

2093
01:39:04,320 --> 01:39:07,040
Speaker 1: get more production, and teams could take those players and

2094
01:39:07,120 --> 01:39:09,800
Speaker 1: make them better. But I think this, I think, more

2095
01:39:09,840 --> 01:39:12,600
Speaker 1: than anything, all Davis was right at this time of

2096
01:39:12,600 --> 01:39:14,840
Speaker 1: the season. You got to make your players better. You

2097
01:39:14,880 --> 01:39:17,040
Speaker 1: have to be a high school coach with your mentality

2098
01:39:17,360 --> 01:39:19,920
Speaker 1: that we're not gonna find nobody's walking through that door.

2099
01:39:20,160 --> 01:39:22,120
Speaker 1: Who's going to make us a better team? Right, No

2100
01:39:22,200 --> 01:39:24,599
Speaker 1: one's going to come in here. You got to develop players.

2101
01:39:24,640 --> 01:39:28,000
Speaker 1: Let's just take the Patriots. Okay, of the eleven starters

2102
01:39:28,040 --> 01:39:33,200
Speaker 1: on this unbelievable defense that is setting records beyond comprehension, right,

2103
01:39:33,479 --> 01:39:36,439
Speaker 1: I mean, they're posing quarterback rating is forty six point

2104
01:39:36,520 --> 01:39:38,840
Speaker 1: nine against them, and if you just spiked the ball

2105
01:39:38,840 --> 01:39:41,200
Speaker 1: in the ground, you'll get a thirty nine. So think

2106
01:39:41,240 --> 01:39:44,320
Speaker 1: about that for a minute, right, So, but nine of

2107
01:39:44,360 --> 01:39:48,080
Speaker 1: those eleven starters on their defensive team, nobody wanted. Nine

2108
01:39:48,080 --> 01:39:50,479
Speaker 1: of the eleven, three of them were rejects in Cleveland.

2109
01:39:51,000 --> 01:39:53,280
Speaker 1: So all that's happened, and I think this is what's

2110
01:39:53,280 --> 01:39:55,920
Speaker 1: going on in Buffalo and why Buffalo is successful because

2111
01:39:56,000 --> 01:39:59,400
Speaker 1: Bean and McDermott get it is player development. You got

2112
01:39:59,400 --> 01:40:01,880
Speaker 1: to develop the players from within. You got to make

2113
01:40:01,960 --> 01:40:04,400
Speaker 1: your players better. And the teams that do that have

2114
01:40:04,439 --> 01:40:06,800
Speaker 1: a chance. The teams that don't have none. So, Mike,

2115
01:40:06,840 --> 01:40:09,160
Speaker 1: how do you balance that? And I think I agree

2116
01:40:09,200 --> 01:40:10,679
Speaker 1: with you one hundred percent, But how do you balance

2117
01:40:10,720 --> 01:40:13,360
Speaker 1: that with the opportunity to go out and maybe get

2118
01:40:13,400 --> 01:40:15,479
Speaker 1: a little bit better? Do you just look to marginally

2119
01:40:15,560 --> 01:40:19,320
Speaker 1: get your team better this week? Today? Look, Kyle Dan

2120
01:40:19,400 --> 01:40:21,360
Speaker 1: always one of the best players on the Patriots defense.

2121
01:40:21,400 --> 01:40:24,439
Speaker 1: The Lions gave them to them. So there's always somebody,

2122
01:40:24,439 --> 01:40:25,880
Speaker 1: you know. The year we won the Super Bowl and

2123
01:40:25,920 --> 01:40:30,080
Speaker 1: four team, we signed a keeam Airs, Alan branch And

2124
01:40:30,160 --> 01:40:32,400
Speaker 1: at the trade deadline, and both those guys were instrumental

2125
01:40:32,400 --> 01:40:34,439
Speaker 1: and helping us win Super Bowl. So there's guys on

2126
01:40:34,479 --> 01:40:37,400
Speaker 1: the street or available via for nothing that you could

2127
01:40:37,400 --> 01:40:40,120
Speaker 1: get and if you can make them better excuse me,

2128
01:40:40,160 --> 01:40:42,080
Speaker 1: and they make your team better, you gotta jump on them.

2129
01:40:42,080 --> 01:40:45,519
Speaker 1: And it really comes with knowing exactly what you need

2130
01:40:45,760 --> 01:40:48,000
Speaker 1: and how you can improve that player. It's the player

2131
01:40:48,040 --> 01:40:51,280
Speaker 1: development that separates most of these teams. And you can

2132
01:40:51,320 --> 01:40:52,640
Speaker 1: do it. And I mean it doesn't have to be

2133
01:40:52,680 --> 01:40:54,200
Speaker 1: a big trade. It doesn't have to be one that

2134
01:40:54,240 --> 01:40:57,160
Speaker 1: Adam Schefter is going to break here at three fifty eight.

2135
01:40:57,439 --> 01:41:00,240
Speaker 1: It can be just a whole hum deal that the

2136
01:41:00,240 --> 01:41:02,160
Speaker 1: guy comes in, he fills the specific need and makes

2137
01:41:02,160 --> 01:41:05,840
Speaker 1: your team better. Yeah, you mentioned your I know you've

2138
01:41:06,120 --> 01:41:08,960
Speaker 1: worked with Bill Pelichick and for him back into Cleveland

2139
01:41:09,000 --> 01:41:10,799
Speaker 1: Brown days way back in the turn of the century.

2140
01:41:11,040 --> 01:41:16,840
Speaker 1: Put into perspective his three hundredth win. I mean it's remarkable.

2141
01:41:17,280 --> 01:41:19,080
Speaker 1: You know, I was with him for one. We beat

2142
01:41:19,120 --> 01:41:22,559
Speaker 1: the Patriots twenty to nothing an old Shaffer Stadium, Foxboro Stadium,

2143
01:41:22,600 --> 01:41:24,760
Speaker 1: whatever it was called at that time. I mean, we

2144
01:41:24,800 --> 01:41:26,559
Speaker 1: knew he was a great coach. We knew Nick Saber

2145
01:41:26,640 --> 01:41:28,840
Speaker 1: was a great coach. Everybody knew it that the town

2146
01:41:28,840 --> 01:41:31,759
Speaker 1: of Cleveland was obsessed with Bernie Kosar, not Bill Belichick

2147
01:41:31,840 --> 01:41:35,400
Speaker 1: and the media, and that really left the stigma on Bill.

2148
01:41:35,960 --> 01:41:38,519
Speaker 1: That really wasn't unfair. I think the fact that he's

2149
01:41:38,520 --> 01:41:41,400
Speaker 1: spent as so many consecutive conference championship games in a

2150
01:41:41,479 --> 01:41:44,519
Speaker 1: row is flat out remarkable. Forget the Super Bowls. Getting

2151
01:41:44,520 --> 01:41:46,560
Speaker 1: to a conference championship game, as you know, Steve's the

2152
01:41:46,560 --> 01:41:48,960
Speaker 1: hardest thing to get in sports. That's the final four

2153
01:41:49,000 --> 01:41:51,200
Speaker 1: of the NFL, and he seems to do it on

2154
01:41:51,240 --> 01:41:55,160
Speaker 1: a regular basis. It's every year he's there, so he's

2155
01:41:55,160 --> 01:41:57,800
Speaker 1: getting better. He's got to think about this. He has

2156
01:41:57,920 --> 01:42:02,479
Speaker 1: eighty one wins. The next closest competition to him or

2157
01:42:02,479 --> 01:42:06,200
Speaker 1: the Kancie Chiefs at sixty one. He's twenty wins counting

2158
01:42:06,200 --> 01:42:08,639
Speaker 1: playoffs ahead of the rest of the second best team

2159
01:42:08,640 --> 01:42:12,400
Speaker 1: in the NFL. He's lapped the field. Mike Lombardi our guest,

2160
01:42:12,400 --> 01:42:15,360
Speaker 1: former NFL general manager now a writer for the Athletic

2161
01:42:15,640 --> 01:42:19,280
Speaker 1: dot Com, and Mike, we become used to the Dolphins

2162
01:42:19,280 --> 01:42:21,719
Speaker 1: approach of this season. But as we hit this trade

2163
01:42:21,760 --> 01:42:24,320
Speaker 1: deadline about an hour and forty five minutes away, are

2164
01:42:24,320 --> 01:42:26,559
Speaker 1: the Jets getting there too? When they're talking about their

2165
01:42:26,680 --> 01:42:28,840
Speaker 1: rumors anyway that they might trade away leaving on Bell,

2166
01:42:28,960 --> 01:42:31,640
Speaker 1: they might trade away Jamal Adams. What exactly are the

2167
01:42:31,680 --> 01:42:33,680
Speaker 1: Jets up to? What do you think their position is

2168
01:42:33,760 --> 01:42:36,040
Speaker 1: right now? Well, I think for the last five years

2169
01:42:36,040 --> 01:42:38,760
Speaker 1: of Jets really a Mike mccaguan GM. I mean, he

2170
01:42:38,800 --> 01:42:41,080
Speaker 1: really didn't build a team. He just collected players, and

2171
01:42:41,120 --> 01:42:43,000
Speaker 1: I think that Jets are paying a price for that.

2172
01:42:43,240 --> 01:42:44,800
Speaker 1: Their offensive line is one of the worst in the

2173
01:42:44,840 --> 01:42:48,080
Speaker 1: National Football League. Mike didn't draft an offensive lineman in

2174
01:42:48,120 --> 01:42:51,200
Speaker 1: the first four rounds in this first four years there. Now,

2175
01:42:51,240 --> 01:42:54,640
Speaker 1: if you go to any school for football one oh one,

2176
01:42:54,680 --> 01:42:57,160
Speaker 1: they tell your draft offensive lineman early. It helps your team.

2177
01:42:57,200 --> 01:42:59,320
Speaker 1: Just look how good Buffalo is improved by improving their

2178
01:42:59,400 --> 01:43:02,360
Speaker 1: lie be of the coach via the players. Their team

2179
01:43:02,400 --> 01:43:05,960
Speaker 1: has improved because of their line play, no doubt. And

2180
01:43:06,000 --> 01:43:08,559
Speaker 1: the Jets just have ignored it. They've patched it together,

2181
01:43:08,800 --> 01:43:10,519
Speaker 1: and now they're paying a price. And now they're going

2182
01:43:10,560 --> 01:43:14,160
Speaker 1: to start trading off assets because the prior regime brought

2183
01:43:14,200 --> 01:43:16,920
Speaker 1: these players in and now the current regime really doesn't

2184
01:43:16,920 --> 01:43:19,519
Speaker 1: have any attachment to them. And that's just the treadmill

2185
01:43:19,560 --> 01:43:22,200
Speaker 1: you never want to be on. We've seen two you

2186
01:43:22,280 --> 01:43:24,320
Speaker 1: mentioned the Buffalo Bills, how they've done over the last

2187
01:43:24,360 --> 01:43:26,840
Speaker 1: three years with Sean McDermott and then the last two

2188
01:43:26,880 --> 01:43:28,920
Speaker 1: years with Brandon Bean. You look out at the forty

2189
01:43:29,000 --> 01:43:31,160
Speaker 1: nine ers, they've begun to build something and put together

2190
01:43:31,400 --> 01:43:34,320
Speaker 1: with Kyle Shanahan. In that regime, you've got certain teams

2191
01:43:34,320 --> 01:43:36,720
Speaker 1: that have done it patiently and with time. There and

2192
01:43:36,720 --> 01:43:39,720
Speaker 1: some other teams that just believe you can do it overnight.

2193
01:43:40,320 --> 01:43:43,639
Speaker 1: Which way's best? I think you have to have patience

2194
01:43:43,640 --> 01:43:45,160
Speaker 1: and you gotta have a plan. I think the one

2195
01:43:45,200 --> 01:43:47,760
Speaker 1: thing we can learn from the seventy sixers. You know,

2196
01:43:47,800 --> 01:43:50,519
Speaker 1: they used this word process. It really didn't work if

2197
01:43:50,560 --> 01:43:52,960
Speaker 1: you break it down, it didn't work. They missed on

2198
01:43:53,000 --> 01:43:56,480
Speaker 1: a ton of draft picks, right, but they convinced everybody

2199
01:43:56,520 --> 01:43:59,200
Speaker 1: that it was the process. Be patient. I think if

2200
01:43:59,200 --> 01:44:01,519
Speaker 1: you have a plan, fans will follow you. If you

2201
01:44:01,640 --> 01:44:03,920
Speaker 1: talk about your plan, fans will buy into it. If

2202
01:44:03,960 --> 01:44:06,080
Speaker 1: you don't, you can't get anybody to follow you. I

2203
01:44:06,080 --> 01:44:07,439
Speaker 1: think if you have a three year plan, That's what

2204
01:44:07,520 --> 01:44:11,160
Speaker 1: I wrote about for The Athletic. When Jed York, the

2205
01:44:11,160 --> 01:44:13,439
Speaker 1: owner of the forty nine ers, he had been through

2206
01:44:14,160 --> 01:44:17,280
Speaker 1: Jim thomasoula Chip Kelly. He was going on his third

2207
01:44:17,320 --> 01:44:20,320
Speaker 1: coach in three years. If he didn't do something dramatic

2208
01:44:20,360 --> 01:44:23,439
Speaker 1: to convince that coach he was willing to step aside

2209
01:44:23,439 --> 01:44:25,680
Speaker 1: and allow him to run the organization. He was on

2210
01:44:25,720 --> 01:44:27,680
Speaker 1: the worst treadmill you can be on, and he did

2211
01:44:28,160 --> 01:44:30,000
Speaker 1: and he gave Kyle three years, and the first two

2212
01:44:30,040 --> 01:44:32,639
Speaker 1: years were not good. He won seven games, But now

2213
01:44:32,720 --> 01:44:34,920
Speaker 1: he's got it going and I think that's the big difference.

2214
01:44:34,960 --> 01:44:37,000
Speaker 1: He's got an offensive system that he can win with.

2215
01:44:37,360 --> 01:44:40,959
Speaker 1: He's got a really dominant defensive line. It takes patience,

2216
01:44:41,200 --> 01:44:44,920
Speaker 1: but it takes a plan most people don't have. They

2217
01:44:44,960 --> 01:44:46,960
Speaker 1: want patience, but they don't bring the plan with him.

2218
01:44:47,120 --> 01:44:48,840
Speaker 1: That's my problem with the Jets. You know the other

2219
01:44:48,840 --> 01:44:52,120
Speaker 1: problem the Giants. What is the Giants plan? They trade

2220
01:44:52,120 --> 01:44:54,040
Speaker 1: for Leonard Williams, give up a third and a fifth

2221
01:44:54,080 --> 01:44:56,519
Speaker 1: mile pick, he makes fourteen and a half million. Are

2222
01:44:56,520 --> 01:44:58,840
Speaker 1: you going to sign him next year? And really you

2223
01:44:58,920 --> 01:45:01,320
Speaker 1: talk about bringing him in to help you with your run.

2224
01:45:01,360 --> 01:45:04,120
Speaker 1: You traded Damon Harrison, he's your best run player, and

2225
01:45:04,200 --> 01:45:06,120
Speaker 1: now you trade for a guy who has zero sacks

2226
01:45:06,160 --> 01:45:09,160
Speaker 1: seven quarterback hits, and what are you doing? Like, where

2227
01:45:09,280 --> 01:45:11,400
Speaker 1: is the plan here and I don't see one in

2228
01:45:11,439 --> 01:45:13,479
Speaker 1: New York. Hey, I'm interested in your take on one

2229
01:45:13,520 --> 01:45:16,160
Speaker 1: of your former teams, that Cleveland Browns. The Bills get

2230
01:45:16,160 --> 01:45:18,840
Speaker 1: them in a couple of weeks. They've collected talent, but

2231
01:45:19,000 --> 01:45:21,200
Speaker 1: is Freddie Kitchens the right guy to assemble that? And

2232
01:45:21,400 --> 01:45:23,759
Speaker 1: I know their schedule will lighten up for him moving forward,

2233
01:45:23,800 --> 01:45:25,200
Speaker 1: But do you think they have a run in them

2234
01:45:25,240 --> 01:45:27,800
Speaker 1: this year? I think any team they play is going

2235
01:45:27,840 --> 01:45:29,439
Speaker 1: to be hard for them. Look, they're not well coached.

2236
01:45:29,439 --> 01:45:32,360
Speaker 1: They're seventy penalties, they lead the league of penalties. They

2237
01:45:32,400 --> 01:45:35,240
Speaker 1: really don't have an identity of who they are offensively right,

2238
01:45:35,280 --> 01:45:38,120
Speaker 1: so they need to be Nick Chubble. Let me just

2239
01:45:38,160 --> 01:45:41,160
Speaker 1: give you some numbers on Baker Mayfield. Right. I know

2240
01:45:41,240 --> 01:45:42,880
Speaker 1: he's the first pick in the draft. I know he

2241
01:45:42,920 --> 01:45:45,800
Speaker 1: has seventy five commercials. But the reality of it is

2242
01:45:45,800 --> 01:45:48,240
Speaker 1: is he's twenty eight for sixty four on throws over

2243
01:45:48,280 --> 01:45:50,960
Speaker 1: ten yards. He's not very effective when he has to

2244
01:45:51,000 --> 01:45:53,280
Speaker 1: throw the ball, and when the Browns throw the ball

2245
01:45:53,320 --> 01:45:55,960
Speaker 1: more than thirty five times in a game, he's two

2246
01:45:56,000 --> 01:45:58,320
Speaker 1: and nine. He's two and nine when he has to

2247
01:45:58,320 --> 01:46:00,920
Speaker 1: throw the ball more than that. So they need to

2248
01:46:00,960 --> 01:46:04,559
Speaker 1: be in basically in twelve personel, one back, two tight ends,

2249
01:46:04,720 --> 01:46:06,920
Speaker 1: or in twenty one two backs, one tight end, and

2250
01:46:07,040 --> 01:46:09,479
Speaker 1: let Nick Chubb be the guy. Let Nick Chubb run

2251
01:46:09,560 --> 01:46:12,519
Speaker 1: the ball, run play action, run the forty nine or

2252
01:46:12,600 --> 01:46:15,599
Speaker 1: offense which has helped Garoppolo. And if they don't do that,

2253
01:46:15,680 --> 01:46:18,080
Speaker 1: and they keep relying on getting the ball to Beckham,

2254
01:46:18,200 --> 01:46:20,439
Speaker 1: getting the ball in the Landry and exposing that really

2255
01:46:20,479 --> 01:46:22,960
Speaker 1: bad offensive line, they're going to end up with four

2256
01:46:23,000 --> 01:46:24,840
Speaker 1: wins this year. I gotta ask you about one more

2257
01:46:24,880 --> 01:46:30,000
Speaker 1: thing we've talked about. We're talking to Michael Lombardi, the

2258
01:46:30,000 --> 01:46:32,400
Speaker 1: host of the GM Shuffle podcast. I gotta ask you

2259
01:46:32,400 --> 01:46:35,120
Speaker 1: about one more change that came down today. Former head

2260
01:46:35,120 --> 01:46:37,040
Speaker 1: coach of the years on the Cardinals now the offensive

2261
01:46:37,080 --> 01:46:40,000
Speaker 1: coordinator or formerly the offensive coordinator as of this morning

2262
01:46:40,160 --> 01:46:43,320
Speaker 1: of the Los Angeles Chargers. What is the Chargers plan

2263
01:46:43,479 --> 01:46:45,280
Speaker 1: and are they one of the teams that have decided

2264
01:46:45,320 --> 01:46:49,120
Speaker 1: that they're done for this year. I don't know, Steve,

2265
01:46:49,160 --> 01:46:51,639
Speaker 1: that's a great question. Like I watched their tape right

2266
01:46:51,680 --> 01:46:54,840
Speaker 1: and their defense can't stop anybody. They play thirty eight

2267
01:46:54,840 --> 01:46:58,760
Speaker 1: minutes of defense against the MVP Mitchell Trubisky, Chicago Bears right.

2268
01:46:58,920 --> 01:47:01,320
Speaker 1: They allowed almost third first downs in the game. They

2269
01:47:01,320 --> 01:47:04,320
Speaker 1: couldn't really get control of the game. Their offense has

2270
01:47:04,360 --> 01:47:07,120
Speaker 1: been without a bunch of players. Their left tackle, Russell Oku,

2271
01:47:07,280 --> 01:47:10,400
Speaker 1: finally came back. Rivers is back to having a normal Yeah.

2272
01:47:10,439 --> 01:47:13,400
Speaker 1: Last year, Rivers his numbers were off the charts, off

2273
01:47:13,400 --> 01:47:16,360
Speaker 1: the charts. They won twelve games because Rivers numbers were

2274
01:47:16,400 --> 01:47:18,360
Speaker 1: off the chart. This year, I don't know, I don't

2275
01:47:18,400 --> 01:47:20,599
Speaker 1: know who they are. Their offensive line is really bad

2276
01:47:20,840 --> 01:47:22,920
Speaker 1: and that's been a real problem for Philip Rivers and

2277
01:47:22,920 --> 01:47:25,439
Speaker 1: it's a problem for ken woodson Hunt. Unfortunately, it costs

2278
01:47:25,520 --> 01:47:28,240
Speaker 1: Kenny's job. I mean, he'll go back to his hometown

2279
01:47:28,280 --> 01:47:30,400
Speaker 1: of Augusta, Georgia. I'm sure he's got the sticks out.

2280
01:47:30,439 --> 01:47:32,280
Speaker 1: He'll play a bunch of golf and just enjoy the

2281
01:47:32,280 --> 01:47:35,479
Speaker 1: rest of his life. Because sometimes you can't explain the NFL.

2282
01:47:35,640 --> 01:47:38,200
Speaker 1: Sometimes you get Look, I traded a first round I

2283
01:47:38,240 --> 01:47:39,960
Speaker 1: got a first round pick for Trent Richardson, and I

2284
01:47:40,040 --> 01:47:43,120
Speaker 1: got fired. So you just can't explain the NFL. Last

2285
01:47:43,160 --> 01:47:45,880
Speaker 1: question I had for you, Mike, and that's give us

2286
01:47:45,880 --> 01:47:47,600
Speaker 1: an idea of what the atmosphere might be like for

2287
01:47:47,720 --> 01:47:50,280
Speaker 1: Brandon Bean and the other gms in the league right now,

2288
01:47:50,400 --> 01:47:53,160
Speaker 1: hour and a half before the trade deadline. Is it frenzied?

2289
01:47:53,240 --> 01:47:54,640
Speaker 1: Is it pretty low key? What do you think is

2290
01:47:54,640 --> 01:47:56,760
Speaker 1: going on? I think it's pretty low key. I think

2291
01:47:56,800 --> 01:47:59,360
Speaker 1: he's waiting. You know, he's like the Maytag repairman. He's busy,

2292
01:47:59,400 --> 01:48:01,120
Speaker 1: but he's home. You know, he's trying to figure out

2293
01:48:01,200 --> 01:48:04,120
Speaker 1: what's going on. You know, he's trying to understand who's

2294
01:48:04,160 --> 01:48:06,960
Speaker 1: playing poker and who's bluffing and who really has a

2295
01:48:07,000 --> 01:48:08,840
Speaker 1: good hand. And I think he's just sitting back there.

2296
01:48:09,080 --> 01:48:11,000
Speaker 1: And you got to take the attitude of hey, look,

2297
01:48:11,080 --> 01:48:13,000
Speaker 1: we're not going to panic. We're gonna make a decision

2298
01:48:13,040 --> 01:48:15,280
Speaker 1: today that's going to affect our team tomorrow and out

2299
01:48:15,439 --> 01:48:18,320
Speaker 1: next year, not just how it affects us today. You

2300
01:48:18,400 --> 01:48:21,360
Speaker 1: have to be always sustainable based with your solutions. I

2301
01:48:21,400 --> 01:48:23,800
Speaker 1: got one last question for you, Mike. Who's gonna lose

2302
01:48:23,800 --> 01:48:28,080
Speaker 1: a game first? The Niners or the Patriots? I would

2303
01:48:28,080 --> 01:48:30,559
Speaker 1: think the Patriots would until they get going on. I mean,

2304
01:48:30,600 --> 01:48:32,800
Speaker 1: the Patriots are playing now, the Niners are too. The

2305
01:48:32,800 --> 01:48:36,240
Speaker 1: Patriot to playing. Last week they played, they played Marshall Newhouse,

2306
01:48:36,240 --> 01:48:38,360
Speaker 1: who wasn't even on their team when they started training

2307
01:48:38,400 --> 01:48:41,240
Speaker 1: camp right at left at left tackle. They played Ted

2308
01:48:41,320 --> 01:48:44,400
Speaker 1: Carus at center. They played James Farrins, the thirty year

2309
01:48:44,439 --> 01:48:46,639
Speaker 1: old guy who's bounced around the league for six years,

2310
01:48:46,640 --> 01:48:49,360
Speaker 1: finally played in his first NFL game at right guard.

2311
01:48:49,560 --> 01:48:51,680
Speaker 1: I mean it was a problem. They're struggling to move

2312
01:48:51,720 --> 01:48:54,400
Speaker 1: the football effectively, and I think that could creep up

2313
01:48:54,400 --> 01:48:57,000
Speaker 1: to him, especially when they play against a team like Baltimore,

2314
01:48:57,080 --> 01:49:00,400
Speaker 1: who's unconventional and what they do. Michael Lombard, his book

2323
01:49:24,479 --> 01:49:27,800
Speaker 1: Interesting stuff, interesting takes on the Browns, I think right,

2324
01:49:27,920 --> 01:49:30,320
Speaker 1: no plan there on the Jets and on the Giants.

2325
01:49:30,360 --> 01:49:33,760
Speaker 1: I mean, as he said, you gotta have a plan,

2326
01:49:33,840 --> 01:49:35,679
Speaker 1: or at least you gotta sell people on the fact

2327
01:49:35,680 --> 01:49:37,360
Speaker 1: that you have a plan. And what do you say.

2328
01:49:37,400 --> 01:49:39,240
Speaker 1: There are a lot of bad teams here in the NFL.

2329
01:49:39,320 --> 01:49:40,960
Speaker 1: The Chargers are in there now too. They fired their

2330
01:49:40,960 --> 01:49:43,439
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator. He didn't know why. I mean, and you're right,

2331
01:49:43,479 --> 01:49:45,479
Speaker 1: look at them. Yeah, they won that game on Sunday

2332
01:49:45,520 --> 01:49:48,519
Speaker 1: against one of the great defenses in the league, and

2333
01:49:49,000 --> 01:49:53,200
Speaker 1: he fired the offensive coordinator after their defense gave up

2334
01:49:53,240 --> 01:49:58,000
Speaker 1: thirty first downs. I mean, what do we do? What

2335
01:49:58,080 --> 01:50:01,720
Speaker 1: are they doing? What are you doing? Interesting insight? We

2336
01:50:01,760 --> 01:50:03,320
Speaker 1: thank Mike for that. We're gonna get back to our

2337

Speaker 1: milestones presented by Reid's Jewelers, the official jeweler of the

2346
01:50:25,479 --> 01:50:29,599
Speaker 1: hundred forty yards behind Um Marshall Falk who's number four.

2347
01:50:29,800 --> 01:50:32,880
Speaker 1: You know, Frank Gore is approaching Barry Sanders too. Right

2348
01:50:32,880 --> 01:50:34,760
Speaker 1: when it comes to ninety nine yards away, less than

2349
01:50:34,760 --> 01:50:39,000
Speaker 1: a hundred yards away from taking over four third all time,

2350
01:50:39,120 --> 01:50:41,920
Speaker 1: he's fourth. Now he'd be third all time in the

2351
01:50:42,040 --> 01:50:46,759
Speaker 1: NFL's rushing category. For you wrought yards. That's that's elite.

2352
01:50:46,840 --> 01:50:49,720

01:50:49,800 --> 01:50:54,400
Speaker 1: Walter Ammet Adrian Peterson on the other side, there were

2354
01:50:54,880 --> 01:50:56,680
Speaker 1: rushing right now. Those are all guys that go by

2355
01:50:56,680 --> 01:50:59,759
Speaker 1: one name. Yeah, you know, that's Reads Milestones, the official

2356

Speaker 1: jew ruler of the Buffalo Bills. We're back with more

2357
01:51:01,720 --> 01:51:04,160
Speaker 1: one Bills Live, presented by Kalada Hell from the Seneca

2358
01:51:04,160 --> 01:51:12,360
Speaker 1: Studio in Archard Park on Buffalo Bills Radio. It's time

2359
01:51:12,400 --> 01:51:14,640
Speaker 1: to honor the at Pro high school coaches of the

2360
01:51:14,680 --> 01:51:17,280
Speaker 1: Week for this past week. We start with Section six

2361
01:51:17,360 --> 01:51:19,920
Speaker 1: from here in the Buffalo area and we start with

2362
01:51:20,160 --> 01:51:23,759
Speaker 1: Phil Vecchio from Olean. They went on a long trip

2363
01:51:23,840 --> 01:51:25,720
Speaker 1: from Olean all the way up to Niagara County to

2364
01:51:25,720 --> 01:51:27,479
Speaker 1: New Fan and they beat higher Seat to New Fan

2365
01:51:27,800 --> 01:51:29,519
Speaker 1: twenty six, twenty four in the first round of the

2366
01:51:29,520 --> 01:51:32,040
Speaker 1: Class B playoffs. Winning the game in the last second.

2367
01:51:32,040 --> 01:51:34,479
Speaker 1: Hail Mary play. Olean now plays in the Class B

2368
01:51:34,640 --> 01:51:38,120
Speaker 1: semifinals at Albion this Friday. You know what, another long

2369
01:51:38,200 --> 01:51:40,840
Speaker 1: bus trip for the guys from Olean. Huskies have not

2370
01:51:40,920 --> 01:51:43,320
Speaker 1: played in New Airfield since two thousand and two, but

2371
01:51:43,400 --> 01:51:45,400
Speaker 1: they have a chance if they beat Albion this weekday.

2372
01:51:45,439 --> 01:51:47,000
Speaker 1: I wonder if they stayed right up there, went right

2373
01:51:47,000 --> 01:51:50,120
Speaker 1: from New Fan to Albion, New Fan to Albian is

2374
01:51:50,120 --> 01:51:51,960
Speaker 1: like twenty five thirty minute. That'd be smarter if they

2375
01:51:52,000 --> 01:51:54,000
Speaker 1: could just get a couple of hotel rooms in Medinah

2376
01:51:54,200 --> 01:51:57,400
Speaker 1: and avoid the long bus trip from Section five. Jason

2377
01:51:57,520 --> 01:52:01,000
Speaker 1: Johnson from Eastridge High School. East Ridge beat Brighton forty

2378
01:52:01,040 --> 01:52:02,960
Speaker 1: thirty five in the first round of their playoffs. There

2379
01:52:03,000 --> 01:52:05,360
Speaker 1: are eight and the season they played Cannondegua in the

2380
01:52:05,400 --> 01:52:08,600

2383
01:52:15,400 --> 01:52:17,320
Speaker 1: You know those long bus trips, I'll kill you. I

2384
01:52:17,479 --> 01:52:20,400
Speaker 1: believe me. I grew up in rural Kansas. It's you

2385
01:52:20,479 --> 01:52:25,639
Speaker 1: had to drive an hour for groceries. The they haven't

2386
01:52:25,680 --> 01:52:28,360
Speaker 1: been there since two thousand and two, and the played

2387
01:52:28,360 --> 01:52:30,120
Speaker 1: in the new air of field since two thousand and two.

2388
01:52:30,160 --> 01:52:31,920
Speaker 1: That means some of the guys that seventeen years so

2389
01:52:32,000 --> 01:52:35,320
Speaker 1: some of these kids playing weren't even were born the

2390
01:52:35,400 --> 01:52:39,240
Speaker 1: last time. I was waiting to say that it's great. Yeah,

2391
01:52:39,240 --> 01:52:41,679
Speaker 1: it's NIC's not great. It was just it was okay.

2392
01:52:41,800 --> 01:52:44,360
Speaker 1: Struck me Twitter. Today, we are just about an hour

2393
01:52:44,400 --> 01:52:46,200
Speaker 1: and a half away from the NFL trade deadline. The

2394
01:52:46,200 --> 01:52:48,200
Speaker 1: Bills haven't done anything yet. You may or may not

2395
01:52:48,280 --> 01:52:50,040
Speaker 1: be okay with that. Let us know what you think

2396
01:52:50,240 --> 01:52:51,800
Speaker 1: and what do you think they should do. That's kind

2397
01:52:51,840 --> 01:52:53,720
Speaker 1: of our Twitter pole question of the day. Let's check

2398
01:52:53,760 --> 01:52:57,679
Speaker 1: out how that's going so far. Yes, there's a Twitter

2399
01:52:58,400 --> 01:53:01,760
Speaker 1: The sports Line tweeted out the Bengals just to have

2400
01:53:01,840 --> 01:53:05,400
Speaker 1: benched Andy Dalton. The Bills are have the best odds

2401
01:53:05,400 --> 01:53:07,519
Speaker 1: of landing AJ Green now that Andy Dalton has been

2402
01:53:07,560 --> 01:53:10,759
Speaker 1: benched because they think the Bengals are going to fire

2403
01:53:10,840 --> 01:53:14,080
Speaker 1: sale their squad. Who made this tweet sports Line the

2404
01:53:15,200 --> 01:53:16,920
Speaker 1: I don't know them, I don't need that familiar with

2405
01:53:16,960 --> 01:53:20,920
Speaker 1: their work. There you go, somebody's saying it. Somebody's saying it,

2406
01:53:20,920 --> 01:53:24,000
Speaker 1: And now we've repeated it NFL trade deadline four pm.

2407
01:53:24,000 --> 01:53:25,880
Speaker 1: What are the bills need before the trade deadline? Give

2408
01:53:25,960 --> 01:53:28,800
Speaker 1: us a call and discuss eight three five fifty toll

2409
01:53:28,880 --> 01:53:31,759
Speaker 1: free from outside Buffalo one eight eight eight five fifty

2410
01:53:31,800 --> 01:53:34,200
Speaker 1: two five fifty got eleven hundred votes in on the

2411
01:53:34,200 --> 01:53:36,599
Speaker 1: Twitter poll, fifty five percent of you say they need

2412
01:53:36,680 --> 01:53:38,360
Speaker 1: to make a big splash here. They need a big

2413
01:53:38,400 --> 01:53:41,479
Speaker 1: splash addition to the roster. Thirty five percent say all

2414
01:53:41,520 --> 01:53:43,640
Speaker 1: the Bills need is a little tweak, a minor adjustment.

2415
01:53:43,920 --> 01:53:45,920
Speaker 1: Ten percent of you pound your fist on the table

2416
01:53:45,960 --> 01:53:48,000
Speaker 1: and say they don't need any can get out of

2417
01:53:48,000 --> 01:53:49,760
Speaker 1: here with that. Let's hear from you. Eight to three

2418
01:53:49,840 --> 01:53:52,360
Speaker 1: h five five. Here's one of the table pounders right now.

2419
01:53:52,400 --> 01:53:55,559
Speaker 1: Tony and Albany are still there. Tony, I'm still here.

2420
01:53:55,680 --> 01:54:00,880
Speaker 1: You're still pound on the table. Actually my house right now.

2421
01:54:00,920 --> 01:54:04,280
Speaker 1: Oh good for you. Tony builds life. Yeah. So today's

2422
01:54:04,320 --> 01:54:06,800
Speaker 1: my birthday too. By the way, they supposed to beat

2423
01:54:06,840 --> 01:54:09,800
Speaker 1: the Eagles on Sunday for my birthday, but they didn't

2424
01:54:09,840 --> 01:54:12,720
Speaker 1: get it done. I don't think they need anything at all.

2425
01:54:12,960 --> 01:54:14,800
Speaker 1: I think they have everything that they need in front

2426
01:54:14,840 --> 01:54:17,200
Speaker 1: of them. I think that they just need to take

2427
01:54:17,200 --> 01:54:19,920
Speaker 1: some of the mistakes away. I think they need to

2428
01:54:19,960 --> 01:54:24,640
Speaker 1: play a lot more clean. Josh Allen has proved that

2429
01:54:24,680 --> 01:54:27,360
Speaker 1: if you just keep it simple stupid, he can get

2430
01:54:27,360 --> 01:54:30,640
Speaker 1: it done and he can improve on that. And what

2431
01:54:31,600 --> 01:54:34,880
Speaker 1: you start to see that momentum start to build with

2432
01:54:35,000 --> 01:54:38,560
Speaker 1: that team, and it's kind of like the analogy between

2433
01:54:38,760 --> 01:54:42,040
Speaker 1: your front breaks and your back breaks, meaning your offense

2434
01:54:42,080 --> 01:54:45,880
Speaker 1: and your defense. If the front breaks aren't working as well,

2435
01:54:45,960 --> 01:54:47,920
Speaker 1: it's going to put more pressure on your back brakes.

2436
01:54:47,960 --> 01:54:50,080
Speaker 1: And you're starting to see that with the defense now.

2437
01:54:50,560 --> 01:54:54,520
Speaker 1: And so that's my opinion. I just have everything that

2438
01:54:54,560 --> 01:54:56,840
Speaker 1: they need in front of them. I hear you. I

2439
01:54:56,880 --> 01:54:59,640
Speaker 1: don't disagree, you don't um I think Tony, happy birthday,

2440
01:54:59,640 --> 01:55:02,280
Speaker 1: by the way, I think you're onto something there. But look,

2441
01:55:03,040 --> 01:55:05,400
Speaker 1: there's a window of opportunity. And this is the strongest

2442
01:55:05,480 --> 01:55:08,000
Speaker 1: argument that people have made. I believe to let's make

2443
01:55:08,000 --> 01:55:09,240
Speaker 1: a deal today, in the next hour and a half.

2444
01:55:09,280 --> 01:55:12,200
Speaker 1: There's a window of opportunity, and it is fast, It

2445
01:55:12,200 --> 01:55:15,440
Speaker 1: opens quickly, closes quickly. What if the Bills looking at

2446
01:55:15,440 --> 01:55:17,960
Speaker 1: the ac landscape, think we got to make a move.

2447
01:55:18,000 --> 01:55:20,000
Speaker 1: Look at this, everything's open enough for us. The Bengals

2448
01:55:20,280 --> 01:55:22,600
Speaker 1: are done the Jets and Dolphins are done, I mean,

2449
01:55:22,680 --> 01:55:25,480
Speaker 1: go around the whole AFC. What if that exists and

2450
01:55:25,560 --> 01:55:27,160
Speaker 1: what if this is the way. I don't know if

2451
01:55:27,200 --> 01:55:29,720
Speaker 1: Brandon Bean thinks that way, I don't know. I don't know.

2452
01:55:30,000 --> 01:55:32,520
Speaker 1: I think I think it'll happen if the Bills believe

2453
01:55:32,720 --> 01:55:35,640
Speaker 1: that the move they can make will be sustainable going

2454
01:55:35,640 --> 01:55:37,200
Speaker 1: for it. I don't think they're into renting a guy

2455
01:55:37,320 --> 01:55:38,600
Speaker 1: till the end of the year. I don't think they're

2456
01:55:38,600 --> 01:55:40,240
Speaker 1: into getting a guy that they don't think is a

2457
01:55:40,280 --> 01:55:42,440
Speaker 1: long term answer, and I don't think it's in they'll

2458
01:55:42,680 --> 01:55:45,200
Speaker 1: that means they'll compromise their culture to bring a guy

2459
01:55:45,240 --> 01:55:47,040
Speaker 1: in who's not going to have the DNA they want

2460
01:55:47,040 --> 01:55:49,480
Speaker 1: that the DNA that Sean McDermott talks about. I don't

2461
01:55:49,760 --> 01:55:52,320
Speaker 1: I think they'll have to check a lot of boxes

2462
01:55:52,360 --> 01:55:54,960
Speaker 1: for the deal to happen. And if all those boxes

2463
01:55:54,960 --> 01:55:57,120
Speaker 1: are checked, and we know they'll pull the trigger, We

2464
01:55:57,160 --> 01:56:00,280
Speaker 1: absolutely know it. If they're they're interested in getting better

2465
01:56:00,280 --> 01:56:02,480
Speaker 1: and getting better all the time. They say they preach

2466
01:56:02,520 --> 01:56:05,120
Speaker 1: it to their players, they preach it about them theirselves

2467
01:56:05,160 --> 01:56:08,480
Speaker 1: as a coaching staff and as administration as it as executives.

2468
01:56:08,840 --> 01:56:10,720
Speaker 1: So you know, if there's a deal out there for

2469
01:56:10,760 --> 01:56:14,760
Speaker 1: the bills that they think will get them better, if

2470
01:56:14,760 --> 01:56:17,240
Speaker 1: it checks all the right boxes, there's no doubt they're

2471
01:56:17,240 --> 01:56:20,840
Speaker 1: gonna make it, absolutely. But the question is, even in

2472
01:56:20,840 --> 01:56:23,080
Speaker 1: this fertile ground, with all these names out there, with

2473
01:56:23,120 --> 01:56:24,960
Speaker 1: all these teams that seemed to be checking it and

2474
01:56:25,000 --> 01:56:28,080
Speaker 1: packing it in, is there somebody out there who fits

2475
01:56:28,120 --> 01:56:29,680
Speaker 1: all those boxes? And that's what we have to wait

2476
01:56:29,680 --> 01:56:32,520
Speaker 1: and find out. It was a called from Greg and Buffalo. Hello, Greg,

2477
01:56:32,560 --> 01:56:37,360
Speaker 1: Welcome to the show. Hey guys. Yeah, I definitely agree

2478
01:56:37,400 --> 01:56:39,560
Speaker 1: with a lot of what you guys are saying. Hearing

2479
01:56:39,600 --> 01:56:42,440
Speaker 1: the mouth and Gordon rumors in the past week, I've

2480
01:56:42,440 --> 01:56:45,080
Speaker 1: been a little, I don't want to say frustrated, but

2481
01:56:45,400 --> 01:56:47,320
Speaker 1: kind of confused. I don't think that's one of our

2482
01:56:47,400 --> 01:56:50,280
Speaker 1: needs right now. I think our needs are, you know,

2483
01:56:50,360 --> 01:56:55,040
Speaker 1: wide receiver or you know, offensive line. My preference would

2484
01:56:55,040 --> 01:56:57,440
Speaker 1: be offensive line. I think we need to do everything

2485
01:56:57,520 --> 01:57:00,600
Speaker 1: we can to help Josh succeed, you know. And going

2486
01:57:00,600 --> 01:57:03,560
Speaker 1: back to the Dable discussion some of the callers are making,

2487
01:57:04,520 --> 01:57:06,920
Speaker 1: I mean, about a month ago, we were pretty happy

2488
01:57:06,960 --> 01:57:09,680
Speaker 1: with Dable's play calling, and I think we just need

2489
01:57:09,720 --> 01:57:11,800
Speaker 1: to remember that this is a process. We're gonna have

2490
01:57:11,880 --> 01:57:14,760
Speaker 1: some bad games where teams are going to learn on

2491
01:57:14,800 --> 01:57:16,680
Speaker 1: to our plays, and you know, we just got to

2492
01:57:16,760 --> 01:57:19,880
Speaker 1: be patient for day Ball and Josh to make things click.

2493
01:57:20,040 --> 01:57:22,000
Speaker 1: I have to invite myself of that sometimes when I

2494
01:57:22,000 --> 01:57:25,760
Speaker 1: get frustrated as well. But I'm hoping for a trade here.

2495
01:57:25,760 --> 01:57:27,360
Speaker 1: He doesn't need to be a big splash. I'm just

2496
01:57:27,440 --> 01:57:31,280
Speaker 1: hoping it's someone that can help Josh and Brian succeed

2497
01:57:31,320 --> 01:57:34,800
Speaker 1: on the offensive side. All right, but that sounds all reasonable,

2498
01:57:34,920 --> 01:57:37,000
Speaker 1: very reasonable in fact, right, what are you doing calling

2499
01:57:37,080 --> 01:57:40,480
Speaker 1: our show being a reasonable? Don't ever recall it? You

2500
01:57:40,560 --> 01:57:42,200
Speaker 1: know I was thinking and it wasn't a trade, right,

2501
01:57:42,280 --> 01:57:45,040
Speaker 1: But you were here when James Lofton was signed, Yes,

2502
01:57:45,600 --> 01:57:48,680
Speaker 1: deep into a season. Was that I'm trying to recall

2503
01:57:48,720 --> 01:57:51,360
Speaker 1: and I was covering the team. I don't recall four games. Yeah,

2504
01:57:51,360 --> 01:57:53,720
Speaker 1: I don't recall thinking, Wow, what a great big move

2505
01:57:53,760 --> 01:57:55,760
Speaker 1: that was. It was a huge edition, No, right, because

2506
01:57:55,800 --> 01:57:58,240
Speaker 1: Lofton was he had had success a Gray Bay, he

2507
01:57:58,280 --> 01:58:00,320
Speaker 1: had success at Oakland. He was out on the story,

2508
01:58:00,520 --> 01:58:02,240
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So you look for what's

2509
01:58:02,240 --> 01:58:04,480
Speaker 1: and I know that was thirty years ago, but you

2510
01:58:04,560 --> 01:58:07,840
Speaker 1: look for a splash move, and sometimes you don't recognize

2511
01:58:07,840 --> 01:58:09,720
Speaker 1: the splash move a big move when it's made. I

2512
01:58:09,720 --> 01:58:12,320
Speaker 1: guess that's the point I'm trying to make. Yeah, exactly.

2513
01:58:12,400 --> 01:58:14,600
Speaker 1: I'll tell you this too. I just read a tweet

2514
01:58:14,600 --> 01:58:17,560
Speaker 1: from Carnadians been at thirty two years ago today was

2515
01:58:17,600 --> 01:58:20,400
Speaker 1: when they made the Cornelius Bennett trade with Greg Bell

2516
01:58:20,520 --> 01:58:24,920
Speaker 1: going to trade. Greg Bell goes to La La, sends

2517
01:58:25,040 --> 01:58:29,840
Speaker 1: Eric Dickerson to Indianapolis. Indianapolis sends us the first pick

2518
01:58:29,880 --> 01:58:31,840
Speaker 1: of that year's draft, which was Canadians Bennett. That was

2519
01:58:31,840 --> 01:58:36,080
Speaker 1: the strike here in nineteen eighty seven, and plus the

2520
01:58:36,160 --> 01:58:40,160
Speaker 1: Bills sent a one and the Rams sent a one

2521
01:58:41,520 --> 01:58:45,240
Speaker 1: or got a one to the Rams got two ones, yeah,

2522
01:58:45,240 --> 01:58:48,640
Speaker 1: for Eric Dickerson and Greg Bell, and the Colts got

2523
01:58:48,800 --> 01:58:52,960
Speaker 1: Eric Dickerson and a one for Carnelius Bennett, and we

2524
01:58:53,040 --> 01:58:56,080
Speaker 1: got Biscuit and we went to four straight Super Bowls.

2525
01:58:56,160 --> 01:58:58,560
Speaker 1: So and Bill Pullings in the Hall of Fame because

2526
01:58:58,600 --> 01:59:03,760
Speaker 1: of that move in and parts of it. So today's

2527
01:59:03,760 --> 01:59:06,040
Speaker 1: the anniversary of that thirty two years I just read

2528
01:59:06,040 --> 01:59:08,440
Speaker 1: that thing. So, yeah, that was a splash trade. I mean,

2529
01:59:08,440 --> 01:59:11,680
Speaker 1: am I right in that landscape back then? That was

2530
01:59:11,720 --> 01:59:14,400
Speaker 1: when everything was carved in. Granted, you didn't get to

2531
01:59:14,400 --> 01:59:17,160
Speaker 1: move anything around. And then they did that Bill Polian

2532
01:59:17,240 --> 01:59:20,080
Speaker 1: made that move a three team trade with number ones

2533
01:59:20,160 --> 01:59:24,680
Speaker 1: and Hall of Fame players involved. About a moving parts wow.

2534
01:59:25,240 --> 01:59:28,000
Speaker 1: And so that you know, you talk about a splash trade,

2535
01:59:29,040 --> 01:59:31,480
Speaker 1: the Bills have done it in the past. I mean, goodness, gracious,

2536
01:59:31,520 --> 01:59:35,000
Speaker 1: that was a splashy one. But I'd sign up for

2537
01:59:35,040 --> 01:59:37,960
Speaker 1: that one. That was. That was a fun trade, right,

2538
01:59:38,080 --> 01:59:41,440
Speaker 1: it was an amazing wow. Let's go to Dave and Tampa. Hello, Dave, welcome,

2539
01:59:41,480 --> 01:59:45,800
Speaker 1: you're on the show. Hey, how's it going, guys? Okay, good?

2540
01:59:46,040 --> 01:59:47,880
Speaker 1: And yeah, yeah, I just I want to talk kind

2541
01:59:47,880 --> 01:59:51,200
Speaker 1: of about the the psychology behind what we're experiencing as

2542
01:59:51,200 --> 01:59:53,960
Speaker 1: Bills fans. I think, um, you know, I'm hearing a

2543
01:59:53,960 --> 01:59:56,240
Speaker 1: lot of negative calls come in and it's kind of

2544
01:59:56,280 --> 01:59:58,880
Speaker 1: like we need to step back and realize, Hey, we're

2545
01:59:58,920 --> 02:00:00,560
Speaker 1: five and two right now. Dave, where you hearing the

2546
02:00:00,560 --> 02:00:06,880
Speaker 1: negative calls? I don't hear him head yeah, yeah, putting

2547
02:00:06,920 --> 02:00:10,280
Speaker 1: putting dable on a platter. I mean, we're constantly I

2548
02:00:10,320 --> 02:00:12,520
Speaker 1: think we've been fed for a really long time from

2549
02:00:12,560 --> 02:00:16,800
Speaker 1: like from different different coaches like Rex Ryan. Um, you know,

2550
02:00:16,920 --> 02:00:19,880
Speaker 1: Dick Giron to some extent that we need this one

2551
02:00:19,960 --> 02:00:22,240
Speaker 1: superstar player, right, that's that we need to make this

2552
02:00:22,360 --> 02:00:26,120
Speaker 1: huge splash in free agency, or this huge splash on

2553
02:00:26,160 --> 02:00:29,120
Speaker 1: the trade block or during before the trade deadline in

2554
02:00:29,240 --> 02:00:30,720
Speaker 1: order for us to be a successful team. And I

2555
02:00:30,760 --> 02:00:32,840
Speaker 1: don't necessarily to think that that's the case. Like I

2556
02:00:32,920 --> 02:00:35,840
Speaker 1: just heard that call or call in about Brian Dable

2557
02:00:36,200 --> 02:00:38,680
Speaker 1: and and the fact that he was blaming um the

2558
02:00:38,760 --> 02:00:43,440
Speaker 1: offensive execution on Brian Dable when it's not necessarily his fault.

2559
02:00:43,480 --> 02:00:45,520
Speaker 1: I mean, I think you guys made really good points. Yeah,

2560
02:00:45,560 --> 02:00:48,440
Speaker 1: we threw the ball deep on third and two, but hey,

2561
02:00:48,520 --> 02:00:50,280
Speaker 1: you guys, we were the fans were also asking to

2562
02:00:50,320 --> 02:00:51,720
Speaker 1: see the deep ball, you know what I mean, Like

2563
02:00:52,160 --> 02:00:53,880
Speaker 1: you can't have your cake and eat it too. So

2564
02:00:54,400 --> 02:00:58,920
Speaker 1: do I think the Bills would be in a better place,

2565
02:00:59,360 --> 02:01:02,960
Speaker 1: Yes if they made a trade um right now, if

2566
02:01:02,960 --> 02:01:05,000
Speaker 1: they if they were looking for, you know, like a

2567
02:01:05,000 --> 02:01:06,960
Speaker 1: big time player. But I don't think it's necessarily what

2568
02:01:07,000 --> 02:01:09,320
Speaker 1: we need. I don't think that we need we need

2569
02:01:09,320 --> 02:01:12,080
Speaker 1: to look for a savior right now, you know. I

2570
02:01:12,320 --> 02:01:14,360
Speaker 1: think I think we just need to execute better as

2571
02:01:14,360 --> 02:01:16,600
Speaker 1: a team. I think we need to if anything, I

2572
02:01:16,600 --> 02:01:19,000
Speaker 1: think there's three three pieces we need. I think one

2573
02:01:19,080 --> 02:01:21,960
Speaker 1: a utility player on offense, somebody like a Levion Bell.

2574
02:01:22,120 --> 02:01:24,440
Speaker 1: Now I know that he's he's comes with controversy, but

2575
02:01:24,480 --> 02:01:26,400
Speaker 1: I think the fact that we could split him out

2576
02:01:26,400 --> 02:01:27,720
Speaker 1: and you know, put him in the slot, we could

2577
02:01:27,720 --> 02:01:29,320
Speaker 1: have him at running back, we could have him do

2578
02:01:30,200 --> 02:01:32,160
Speaker 1: multiple things that kind of open up our offense. I

2579
02:01:32,160 --> 02:01:34,400
Speaker 1: think that would be a great addition. I think in

2580
02:01:34,760 --> 02:01:37,600
Speaker 1: enhancing the interior line, you know, at offensive guard, I

2581
02:01:37,600 --> 02:01:40,040
Speaker 1: think that would be a major upgrade. And based on

2582
02:01:40,200 --> 02:01:43,080
Speaker 1: where Philadelphia was running the ball, the interior of the

2583
02:01:43,120 --> 02:01:46,440
Speaker 1: defense needs to be shored up to some extent. We've

2584
02:01:46,480 --> 02:01:49,440
Speaker 1: already showed that we can we can guard them the

2585
02:01:49,520 --> 02:01:53,480
Speaker 1: secondary and the perimeter. I think the interior, interior side

2586
02:01:53,520 --> 02:01:57,040
Speaker 1: of the defensive line needs to be shored up somehow,

2587
02:01:57,040 --> 02:02:01,040
Speaker 1: all Steve, how much different would this conversation today be

2588
02:02:01,480 --> 02:02:03,720
Speaker 1: had the Bills beating the Eagles. I think it would

2589
02:02:03,720 --> 02:02:06,200
Speaker 1: be different. I think people's sentiment would be different, don't

2590
02:02:06,240 --> 02:02:08,880
Speaker 1: you Yeah. I think you know you talk about making

2591
02:02:08,880 --> 02:02:10,920
Speaker 1: a splash trade like that. I think people are hoping

2592
02:02:10,960 --> 02:02:13,360
Speaker 1: the splashiness of the trade would wash away the stench

2593
02:02:13,360 --> 02:02:16,280
Speaker 1: of the Philly game, Right, I think there's some of that, right,

2594
02:02:16,320 --> 02:02:17,800
Speaker 1: I think, you know, I think that we're making this

2595
02:02:17,880 --> 02:02:21,160
Speaker 1: splash fix all the problems we saw our team have

2596
02:02:21,480 --> 02:02:24,200
Speaker 1: on Sunday against a you know, Philly team that showed up,

2597
02:02:25,320 --> 02:02:28,040
Speaker 1: fired up and angry. So I and I get it.

2598
02:02:28,080 --> 02:02:30,960
Speaker 1: I'm and I just don't think I'm not gonna kneed you.

2599
02:02:31,040 --> 02:02:33,440
Speaker 1: And I'm not saying they may not exist, because you know,

2600
02:02:33,480 --> 02:02:35,440
Speaker 1: the Dolphins scored more points than we thought they would

2601
02:02:35,440 --> 02:02:38,600
Speaker 1: be able to against this defense as well with Ryan Fitzpatrick.

2602
02:02:39,360 --> 02:02:43,880
Speaker 1: But I just don't know that, you know, it's starting

2603
02:02:43,880 --> 02:02:45,760
Speaker 1: to fall off a cliff, is what I'm saying. I

2604
02:02:45,800 --> 02:02:48,160
Speaker 1: think this defense is still pretty good. Certainly they feel

2605
02:02:48,200 --> 02:02:50,160
Speaker 1: like they can they can play better than they did

2606
02:02:50,160 --> 02:02:52,880
Speaker 1: in the last two weeks. But there's no doubt that,

2607
02:02:53,040 --> 02:02:55,080
Speaker 1: you know, this team has played extremely well in the

2608
02:02:55,080 --> 02:02:57,280
Speaker 1: first month and a half of the season, and there's

2609
02:02:57,280 --> 02:02:59,760
Speaker 1: no reason to think that it was smoke and mirrors

2610
02:02:59,840 --> 02:03:03,120
Speaker 1: or or they weren't playing quality football teams. But as

2611
02:03:03,160 --> 02:03:04,720
Speaker 1: a result of that that that was the only reason

2612
02:03:04,760 --> 02:03:07,400
Speaker 1: it was looking good. This is a really good defense

2613
02:03:07,720 --> 02:03:10,480
Speaker 1: and their statistics and you know, even the eye test

2614
02:03:10,800 --> 02:03:13,880
Speaker 1: will tell you that. And despite what happened in the

2615
02:03:13,920 --> 02:03:16,640
Speaker 1: team against Philly, there's a lot of good players on

2616
02:03:16,640 --> 02:03:18,200
Speaker 1: this team, and they're going to play better than they

2617
02:03:18,200 --> 02:03:20,520
Speaker 1: did against Philly this last week, and better than they

2618
02:03:20,520 --> 02:03:22,520
Speaker 1: did against Miami the week before that. I think you're

2619
02:03:22,520 --> 02:03:23,760
Speaker 1: going to see more of what they saw in the

2620
02:03:23,760 --> 02:03:25,720
Speaker 1: first four or five games. He's gonna call here from

2621
02:03:25,760 --> 02:03:29,960
Speaker 1: Bill in Rochester. Hello, Bill, you're on the air. Yeah, Hi, guys.

2622
02:03:30,000 --> 02:03:32,200
Speaker 1: We love the show. By the way, thank you. My

2623
02:03:32,400 --> 02:03:35,440
Speaker 1: question to you guys is do you think that the

2624
02:03:35,560 --> 02:03:39,160
Speaker 1: bye week hurts the Bills or help them? Because before

2625
02:03:39,200 --> 02:03:41,000
Speaker 1: the bye week it just seemed like they had so

2626
02:03:41,120 --> 02:03:44,640
Speaker 1: much momentum. Then coming back, it just came to seem

2627
02:03:44,720 --> 02:03:49,280
Speaker 1: like a little blaise kind of sort of. And that's

2628
02:03:49,320 --> 02:03:51,160
Speaker 1: my question. I'm going to hang up. I'll let you

2629
02:03:51,200 --> 02:03:55,200
Speaker 1: guys answer, and you know, hopefully the rest of the

2630
02:03:55,320 --> 02:03:58,320
Speaker 1: year will will go great form. Thanks Bill, appreciate it.

2631
02:03:58,520 --> 02:04:00,960
Speaker 1: And that's a good, it's a good. It's a valid point.

2632
02:04:01,000 --> 02:04:04,640
Speaker 1: I mean the schedule. I mean, you look at the

2633
02:04:04,640 --> 02:04:09,000
Speaker 1: schedule and the Bills played, you know, five games before

2634
02:04:09,040 --> 02:04:12,760
Speaker 1: the bye and they played two cents. They were four

2635
02:04:12,800 --> 02:04:14,880
Speaker 1: and one before the bye. They're one on one since

2636
02:04:14,920 --> 02:04:16,840
Speaker 1: the bye. I don't know that it means the Bills

2637
02:04:17,080 --> 02:04:20,120
Speaker 1: the bye broke their momentum. It did not. I'm just

2638
02:04:20,160 --> 02:04:22,680
Speaker 1: saying it seems like it's a month ago now, the

2639
02:04:22,760 --> 02:04:28,680
Speaker 1: bye week, so I would say, no, they needed to buy.

2640
02:04:28,680 --> 02:04:30,520
Speaker 1: It happened at the right time. They had some crucial

2641
02:04:30,560 --> 02:04:33,040
Speaker 1: people that were out that we got back after the bye,

2642
02:04:33,440 --> 02:04:38,640
Speaker 1: most notably Devin Singletary and Tyler Croft or in the mix. Now.

2643
02:04:38,680 --> 02:04:40,640
Speaker 1: They both kind of didn't do very much in the

2644
02:04:40,680 --> 02:04:42,400
Speaker 1: Miami game. They didn't use them very much at all,

2645
02:04:42,400 --> 02:04:44,520
Speaker 1: but they were active and got acclimated in this last week.

2646
02:04:44,560 --> 02:04:48,120
Speaker 1: They did contribute, and I think going forward you'll see

2647
02:04:48,160 --> 02:04:51,000
Speaker 1: him contribute more. But I don't think it was any

2648
02:04:51,040 --> 02:04:56,800
Speaker 1: I don't I didn't sense a wholesale deep breath after

2649
02:04:56,840 --> 02:04:59,000
Speaker 1: the bye week that every guy's kind of let up

2650
02:04:59,000 --> 02:05:01,920
Speaker 1: on the gas. Think. So you're right, I mean it

2651
02:05:01,960 --> 02:05:04,320
Speaker 1: can happen, and teams can come and can stink out

2652
02:05:04,320 --> 02:05:06,880
Speaker 1: of the buy. And the Bills didn't look like they

2653
02:05:06,920 --> 02:05:08,440
Speaker 1: did in the first five weeks of the season when

2654
02:05:08,440 --> 02:05:11,000
Speaker 1: the Buys came back. When they came back and played

2655
02:05:11,040 --> 02:05:13,640
Speaker 1: the Dolphins, but they still won that game. By ten points,

2656
02:05:13,640 --> 02:05:18,160
Speaker 1: and they played almost about exactly like they did before

2657
02:05:18,200 --> 02:05:20,800
Speaker 1: the buy. So I'm gonna say no, let's get to NFL.

2658
02:05:20,840 --> 02:05:22,760
Speaker 1: True or false. Brought to you by Yancey's, Fancy New

2659
02:05:22,840 --> 02:05:24,360
Speaker 1: York's Artists and Cheese. I don't know if I like

2660
02:05:24,440 --> 02:05:27,160
Speaker 1: these options. We're gonna zip through these. Yeah, there are

2661
02:05:27,840 --> 02:05:30,160
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. Number one true false. The Bears are the

2662
02:05:30,240 --> 02:05:35,000
Speaker 1: NFL's biggest disappointment of twenty nineteen. True or false. I'm

2663
02:05:35,040 --> 02:05:37,000
Speaker 1: gonna say false. Look, the Bears had a good year

2664
02:05:37,080 --> 02:05:39,520
Speaker 1: last year, but there are many people who didn't think

2665
02:05:39,520 --> 02:05:41,480
Speaker 1: they were for real. I thought they were better, and look,

2666
02:05:41,480 --> 02:05:43,960
Speaker 1: their story is not over yet this year. But they're

2667
02:05:43,960 --> 02:05:46,280
Speaker 1: not the biggest disappointment in the NFL. I think there

2668
02:05:46,320 --> 02:05:49,000
Speaker 1: are others. I think the Bears need to get better.

2669
02:05:49,040 --> 02:05:51,000
Speaker 1: I think they will get better, they'll sort things out

2670
02:05:51,000 --> 02:05:53,440
Speaker 1: a little bit. But no, they're not the biggest disappointment.

2671
02:05:53,920 --> 02:05:56,920
Speaker 1: I'd say no as well. I think a bigger disappointment

2672
02:05:56,960 --> 02:06:00,560
Speaker 1: to me would be the Chargers. Yes, that's what I

2673
02:06:00,600 --> 02:06:04,000
Speaker 1: was thinking. The Dolphins. No, the Jets, I think are

2674
02:06:04,040 --> 02:06:06,320
Speaker 1: as big a disappointments anybody the Jets had asked Brey,

2675
02:06:06,360 --> 02:06:10,080
Speaker 1: we thought the Jets were gonna contend. I didn't think that.

2676
02:06:11,200 --> 02:06:13,560
Speaker 1: I don't know. I did not before our opening game.

2677
02:06:13,560 --> 02:06:15,640
Speaker 1: We thought, man, the Jets might be pretty good. Before

2678
02:06:15,680 --> 02:06:18,080
Speaker 1: the opening game, I thought, wow, how about how about

2679
02:06:18,080 --> 02:06:20,160
Speaker 1: the brown Before the opening game, I thought the Jets

2680
02:06:20,240 --> 02:06:22,360
Speaker 1: might give the Bills a good game and the Bills

2681
02:06:22,360 --> 02:06:24,880
Speaker 1: only being by a point, right, how about the Cleveland Browns?

2682
02:06:24,880 --> 02:06:27,080
Speaker 1: They might be talked to that when those guys are

2683
02:06:27,320 --> 02:06:31,080
Speaker 1: who there's no excuse for that compared to where their

2684
02:06:31,120 --> 02:06:33,240
Speaker 1: expectations are at the beginning of the season. Part two,

2685
02:06:33,360 --> 02:06:36,200
Speaker 1: NFL True or false Kirk Cousins deserves to be on

2686
02:06:36,520 --> 02:06:41,440
Speaker 1: MVP radar. I'm gonna say false. You want me to

2687
02:06:41,480 --> 02:06:43,960
Speaker 1: start listening the guys who could be MVPs. Yeah, not

2688
02:06:44,720 --> 02:06:46,800
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers could be an MP if by on the

2689
02:06:46,880 --> 02:06:51,280
Speaker 1: radar you mean on an NFL roster. Okay, but right

2690
02:06:51,320 --> 02:06:54,120
Speaker 1: there's two thousand guys that are on the radar. No,

2691
02:06:54,240 --> 02:06:57,960
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins ain't no, absolutely no, there's no He is

2692
02:06:58,840 --> 02:07:02,600
Speaker 1: no two or false And this is MVP through eight weeks.

2693
02:07:02,600 --> 02:07:04,880
Speaker 1: The Bills aren't at mid season yet, but much of

2694
02:07:04,880 --> 02:07:07,640
Speaker 1: the league is. Nick Posa should be considered an MVP

2695
02:07:07,800 --> 02:07:10,520

2718
02:08:10,520 --> 02:08:25,920
Speaker 1: This is Buffalo Bills Radio. So how we ramp things up?

2719
02:08:25,960 --> 02:08:27,720
Speaker 1: What have we learned from today's show? Brought to you

2720
02:08:27,720 --> 02:08:31,680
Speaker 1: by Skyworks, the official construction equipment rental company of the

2721
02:08:31,680 --> 02:08:34,040
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. What have we learned? We had Kyle Brand

2722
02:08:34,120 --> 02:08:35,960
Speaker 1: on the show we do every Tuesday at one o'clock.

2723
02:08:36,160 --> 02:08:38,240
Speaker 1: Kyle Brand from the NFL Network, the co host of

2724
02:08:38,240 --> 02:08:40,960
Speaker 1: Good Morning Football, loves the Bills and he says he

2725
02:08:41,000 --> 02:08:44,640
Speaker 1: remains optimistic about the Bills even after that disappointing loss

2726
02:08:44,640 --> 02:08:47,840
Speaker 1: to the Eagles two days ago. Here's Kyle Brand. For

2727
02:08:47,880 --> 02:08:50,160
Speaker 1: a long time, I worked in radio, and I worked

2728
02:08:50,200 --> 02:08:52,680
Speaker 1: with Jim Rome, and Jim Rome is very popular in

2729
02:08:52,680 --> 02:08:55,040
Speaker 1: Buffalo amongst a lot of Bills fans. And it was

2730
02:08:55,080 --> 02:08:59,280
Speaker 1: the same cycle every single year. September phones are ringing

2731
02:08:59,320 --> 02:09:01,880
Speaker 1: off the hook. Is Mark and Buffalo and Tim and Buffalo.

2732
02:09:01,960 --> 02:09:04,080
Speaker 1: They all want to talk Bills. End of September, a

2733
02:09:04,120 --> 02:09:07,800
Speaker 1: few less in the by October silent. Is that this

2734
02:09:07,960 --> 02:09:10,680
Speaker 1: team Again, I say no, And I think the difference

2735
02:09:10,800 --> 02:09:13,080
Speaker 1: is it's not just Alan, It's not just the defense.

2736
02:09:13,560 --> 02:09:15,880
Speaker 1: The guys I believe in Coach McDermott. Those teams that

2737
02:09:15,920 --> 02:09:19,080
Speaker 1: were having that happening were Dick Geron, Jan Gaily, Doug Morone.

2738
02:09:19,280 --> 02:09:22,040
Speaker 1: I believe in this guy. It was a brutal day

2739
02:09:22,080 --> 02:09:24,240
Speaker 1: on Sunday, but I'm not jumping ship. Well, it's good

2740
02:09:24,240 --> 02:09:26,800
Speaker 1: to know we need here. You go on forward with us.

2741
02:09:27,000 --> 02:09:29,840
Speaker 1: Also today, just in this past hour, Michael Lombardi, former

2742
02:09:29,960 --> 02:09:33,320
Speaker 1: NFL general manager rights for the Athletic dot Com Michael Lombardi.

2743
02:09:33,680 --> 02:09:37,040
Speaker 1: We asked him if teams need to make a move

2744
02:09:37,200 --> 02:09:39,320
Speaker 1: before the trade deadline and what type of teams need

2745
02:09:39,360 --> 02:09:43,320
Speaker 1: to do that. Here's Michael Lombardi. Look Kyle dan who

2746
02:09:43,440 --> 02:09:45,160
Speaker 1: is one of the best players on the Patriots defense.

2747
02:09:45,200 --> 02:09:48,240
Speaker 1: The Lions gave him to him. So there's always somebody,

2748
02:09:48,280 --> 02:09:50,120
Speaker 1: you know, the year we won the Super Bowl and fourteen,

2749
02:09:50,200 --> 02:09:54,200
Speaker 1: we saw a Keam airs Alan branch and at the

2750
02:09:54,240 --> 02:09:56,520
Speaker 1: trade deadline and both those guys were instrumental and helping

2751
02:09:56,560 --> 02:09:58,720
Speaker 1: us win Super Bowl. So there's guys on the street

2752
02:09:58,800 --> 02:10:01,680
Speaker 1: were available via nothing that you could get and if

2753
02:10:01,720 --> 02:10:04,320
Speaker 1: you can make them better, excuse me, and they make

2754
02:10:04,360 --> 02:10:05,960
Speaker 1: your team better, you got to jump off. I mean,

2755
02:10:05,960 --> 02:10:09,680
Speaker 1: it really comes with knowing exactly what you need and

2756
02:10:09,720 --> 02:10:12,400
Speaker 1: how you can improve that player. It's the player development

2757
02:10:12,640 --> 02:10:15,320
Speaker 1: that separates most of these teams. And you can do it.

2758
02:10:15,360 --> 02:10:17,040
Speaker 1: And I mean, it doesn't have to be a big trade.

2759
02:10:17,040 --> 02:10:18,720
Speaker 1: It doesn't have to be one that Adam Schefter is

2760
02:10:18,760 --> 02:10:21,520
Speaker 1: going to break here at three fifty eight. It can

2761
02:10:21,560 --> 02:10:23,920
Speaker 1: be just a whole hum deal and you get the

2762
02:10:23,960 --> 02:10:25,920
Speaker 1: guy comes in, he fills a specific need and makes

2763
02:10:25,920 --> 02:10:28,840
Speaker 1: your team better for I agree with Michael Lombardi, and

2764
02:10:28,840 --> 02:10:30,520
Speaker 1: see if I agree with something you said earlier too.

2765
02:10:30,520 --> 02:10:32,520
Speaker 1: And we're now an hour and nine minutes away from

2766
02:10:32,560 --> 02:10:35,040
Speaker 1: the trade deadline, and no matter what happens, Bills make

2767
02:10:35,080 --> 02:10:36,560
Speaker 1: a move. Don't make a move, make a big move,

2768
02:10:36,600 --> 02:10:38,480
Speaker 1: make a big splash, make a little move. I do

2769
02:10:39,160 --> 02:10:41,640
Speaker 1: have trust and the decision makers here that they will

2770
02:10:41,680 --> 02:10:43,520
Speaker 1: make the right move, at least what they believe is

2771
02:10:43,520 --> 02:10:46,200
Speaker 1: the right move for this group, because I believe they

2772
02:10:46,200 --> 02:10:48,760
Speaker 1: have a very strong awareness, as they said to Michael Lombardi,

2773
02:10:49,080 --> 02:10:51,960
Speaker 1: who they are, who they have, what they need, and

2774
02:10:52,000 --> 02:10:54,000
Speaker 1: who they are as a team. And you said that

2775
02:10:54,120 --> 02:10:55,760
Speaker 1: essentially the same thing. I think they've earned it over

2776
02:10:55,800 --> 02:10:58,160
Speaker 1: the last two and a half three years with Sean

2777
02:10:58,240 --> 02:11:00,880
Speaker 1: McDermott and Brandon Bean in the house. They've not deviated

2778
02:11:00,880 --> 02:11:03,800
Speaker 1: from the discipline plan they set forth. And if they

2779
02:11:03,840 --> 02:11:06,120
Speaker 1: can check all the boxes within that plan about a

2780
02:11:06,120 --> 02:11:09,160
Speaker 1: player coming in here who's new, who's different, who fills

2781
02:11:09,160 --> 02:11:11,520
Speaker 1: a need, who makes them better, there's no doubt they'll

2782
02:11:11,520 --> 02:11:15,880
Speaker 1: pull the trigger on it. Whether it's for draft picks,

2783
02:11:16,280 --> 02:11:19,120
Speaker 1: early round draft picks, late round draft picks, or players

2784
02:11:19,160 --> 02:11:23,520
Speaker 1: plus draft picks, or salary dumps or contracts or whatever.

2785
02:11:23,680 --> 02:11:27,720
Speaker 1: If it makes this team better, that is their core belief.

2786
02:11:28,240 --> 02:11:29,920
Speaker 1: They got to make that trade. And I think they'll

2787
02:11:29,960 --> 02:11:32,040
Speaker 1: adhere to that core belief and make it if it happens.

2788
02:11:32,040 --> 02:11:34,280
Speaker 1: I haven't pulled the trigger yet here. Really not much

2789
02:11:34,280 --> 02:11:36,040
Speaker 1: going on around the league, and we're approaching one hour

2790
02:11:36,120 --> 02:11:38,800
Speaker 1: left until the deadline here at one Bills Drive. Not

2791
02:11:38,880 --> 02:11:41,800
Speaker 1: much news today. Cody Ford day to day with his elbow,

2792
02:11:41,840 --> 02:11:44,080
Speaker 1: lee By Wallace day to day with the shoulder. Around

2793
02:11:44,120 --> 02:11:47,080
Speaker 1: the league, just one trade officially announced, the Rams trading

2794
02:11:47,160 --> 02:11:49,400
Speaker 1: veteran quarterback I Keep to Leban a fifth rounder to

2795
02:11:49,440 --> 02:11:52,160
Speaker 1: Miami for a future draft pick. And the other interesting

2796
02:11:52,400 --> 02:11:55,200
Speaker 1: news note today, Bengals may get a quarterback change. They

2797
02:11:55,240 --> 02:11:58,960
Speaker 1: are benching Andy Dalton, their longtime veteran quarterback rookie Ryan Finley,

2798
02:11:58,960 --> 02:12:02,040
Speaker 1: fourth round pick from North Carolina State. We'll be their

2799
02:12:02,080 --> 02:12:06,480
Speaker 1: starting quarterback after the bye week. Sean McDermott was asked yesterday,

2800
02:12:06,480 --> 02:12:07,840
Speaker 1: I think that's a good way to and he's asked

2801
02:12:07,840 --> 02:12:10,600
Speaker 1: about after the loss of the Eagles and the setback,

2802
02:12:10,680 --> 02:12:13,160
Speaker 1: it was a clear setback. What's he looking for now?

2803
02:12:13,200 --> 02:12:15,280
Speaker 1: What is his goal this week as the Bills players

2804
02:12:15,320 --> 02:12:19,000
Speaker 1: return to work tomorrow. It's what John McDermott said. I'm

2805
02:12:19,040 --> 02:12:21,120
Speaker 1: looking for us to get back to our process and

2806
02:12:21,440 --> 02:12:23,360
Speaker 1: doing what we do and how we do it, playing

2807
02:12:23,480 --> 02:12:26,000
Speaker 1: playing physical football, having a great week of practice, a

2808
02:12:26,000 --> 02:12:29,520
Speaker 1: great week of preparation, and you know, going against a

2809
02:12:29,520 --> 02:12:31,200
Speaker 1: good football team coming in here. I know what the

2810
02:12:31,280 --> 02:12:33,280
Speaker 1: record sage, yes, but this is a good football team.

2811
02:12:33,280 --> 02:12:35,080
Speaker 1: He saw you saw how they played the Vikings, who

2812
02:12:35,080 --> 02:12:38,240
Speaker 1: are a good football team, and so we expect to

2813
02:12:38,520 --> 02:12:41,400
Speaker 1: expect a good game this week. And they're well coached

2814
02:12:41,400 --> 02:12:43,600
Speaker 1: by coach Callahan. Have a lot of respect for him

2815
02:12:43,600 --> 02:12:46,640
Speaker 1: and his staff and and so We've got to make

2816
02:12:46,680 --> 02:12:48,800
Speaker 1: sure that we have a good week of preparation here.

2817
02:12:49,400 --> 02:12:51,480
Speaker 1: It's important, I think, to end with see because look,

2818
02:12:51,480 --> 02:12:53,120
Speaker 1: the deadline is an hour or more, a little bit

2819

2822
02:13:02,640 --> 02:13:05,320
Speaker 1: lose sight of the fact that you know, particularly if
