1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:01,920
Speaker 1: I make the cool one. He go with his his

2
00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:05,920
Speaker 1: mind every time wants him full gen coming, Soky came

3
00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:09,480
Speaker 1: the bullman. Allany flots the Kenzie in motion over the

4
00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:12,880
Speaker 1: right side. Now the stamp. Josh wants to throws Hans

5
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:15,120
Speaker 1: the end zone. Players ain't gonnat a man right up

6
00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:18,960
Speaker 1: and it is caught. Touchdown Buffalo touchdown Fields. They take

7
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:22,800
Speaker 1: the lead with fourteen second slept in the first half.

8
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:26,079
Speaker 1: Skill put this book. You can never teach lays in

9
00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:29,440
Speaker 1: the room. Put them stamps down. Bass looks like it's

10
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 1: long enough. It is up and in cut A fifty

11
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:36,600
Speaker 1: six yard field goal by Tyler bad This is what

12
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:40,640
Speaker 1: a scene certifying you already know. And he tries to

13
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:43,400
Speaker 1: drive forward Jacobe bercaif, but I don't think he got it.

14
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 1: They stopped him. They stop him short on fourth and one.

15
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 1: May not even been a whole full yard there. Eric

16
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 1: Brown's turning over rundown takes the stamp, hands it off.

17
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 1: Devin Singletary cuts right, goes back left into the end

18
00:00:55,960 --> 00:01:00,400
Speaker 1: time touchdown Buffalo. A five yard touchdown run by Motor

19
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:04,760
Speaker 1: Thing to Hook takes a shotgun snap pocket clapping. He

20
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 1: has dropped. He is sacked back around the eighteen yard line.

21
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:12,400
Speaker 1: He has brought down back there by Matt Mulano, the

22
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 1: defensive star of the game so far. The Bills have

23
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:17,400
Speaker 1: to come from behind to do it, but they did it.

24
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 1: Thirty one twenty three. Buffalo wins in a much needed

25
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 1: victory for the Bills after two straight losses. We ask

26
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 1: the work back to the Zea. It took a lot

27
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:33,399
Speaker 1: of ticket here that could have drained us that didn't

28
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 1: stick together to play for each other. Win. The win

29
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 1: is a win, all right. That is your Toshiba game.

30
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 1: Rewind Toshiba, the official copier company of the Buffalo Bills.

31
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 1: Welcome to a Buffalo football victory Monday. Uh something that

32
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 1: we hadn't been able to experience the last couple of weeks.

33
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 1: But the Bills get a much needed win in Detroit

34
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 1: in a relocated home game after a very very trying

35
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 1: week for the organization. For a multitude of reasons, they

36
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 1: get the win in Detroit against the Browns thirty one

37
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 1: twenty three, And to be honest, it really was never

38
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 1: that close. I know there were some moments of trepidation

39
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:24,239
Speaker 1: on some onside kicks, especially the last one that went

40
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:27,079
Speaker 1: off of Gabe Davis's hands helmet and then fortunately out

41
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:30,919
Speaker 1: of bounds. But they get what they needed, a victory

42
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:34,239
Speaker 1: so that everybody could breathe a little bit and stop gripping. Yeah,

43
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:36,360
Speaker 1: it was. It was a slow start as well for

44
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:38,640
Speaker 1: the Bills. They you know, so it took a while

45
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 1: and find themselves. I thought the first touchdown you saw there,

46
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 1: the one that Murph called to Digs right before halftime,

47
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 1: that was the one where you say, okay, we kind

48
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 1: of got up back on the rails. The Browns were

49
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 1: playing really good football up until that point. The Bills

50
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,520
Speaker 1: looked a little bit off kilter. Their defense all of

51
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 1: a sudden started to really clamp down on the running

52
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:00,959
Speaker 1: game of the Browns, and just you know, it was

53
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 1: a slow death after that for the Browns, and the

54
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:06,360
Speaker 1: Bills just kept tacking it on. Six field goals from

55
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 1: Tyler Bass. Not exactly the star studded, high flying offensive

56
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 1: performance you'd love to see, but they did move the football.

57
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 1: Dawson Knox got involved heavily, and the two running backs

58
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 1: James Cook and Devin Singletary were the engine of the offense.

59
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 1: For maybe the first time this year, they ran the

60
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 1: ball at will, and that's that's what a win like

61
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 1: that looks like. That was the most encouraging thing that

62
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:32,640
Speaker 1: I pulled out of the game. Buffalo's run game looked

63
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 1: as good as it's been all season long. And I realize,

64
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 1: you're not going against a super strong run defense. You know,

65
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 1: the Browns have lost two starting linebackers this year to injury,

66
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 1: Walker being the most important of them. And you know,

67
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 1: I get that you're not going against the juggernaut run defense,

68
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 1: but that's who you take advantage of. And I was

69
00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 1: saying in the pregame show, and we'll talk about this

70
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 1: with Eric Wood a little bit. We have him on

71
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 1: in the third hour of the program. I thought that

72
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 1: because they had backup linebackers in the two middle spots

73
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 1: for them, that they could be had on the edges. Now,

74
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 1: as it turned out, the offensive line opened up some

75
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 1: consistent holes between the tackles as well. But when they

76
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 1: ran Cook outside, they were gashing them. Yeah, I thought.

77
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 1: And he always feeling it has for the last couple

78
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:32,040
Speaker 1: of weeks, was face. After the two losses won to

79
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 1: the you know, the Jets and the Vikings, you always

80
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:37,919
Speaker 1: felt like the offense was kind of limping along. It

81
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 1: didn't feel like they were really spreading their wings. And

82
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 1: I think when you get into a game like this,

83
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 1: the offense played much better, but it still looked like

84
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 1: they were off kilter, mostly because that's what looks like

85
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:48,599
Speaker 1: when you run the ball well. It doesn't look like

86
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 1: Josh and Kansas City last year, doesn't look like the

87
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 1: first week of the season against the Rams, doesn't look

88
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,280
Speaker 1: like the first second week of the season against the Titans.

89
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 1: So even when you're playing really well on offense and

90
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 1: you're running the ball, that's kind of what your offense

91
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:05,240
Speaker 1: looks like. It was a listen. That was a dominating performance,

92
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 1: even though they had gone off to an incredibly slow

93
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:12,280
Speaker 1: start that you know, once that game got in the

94
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 1: second half, there was never in doubt. The first two series,

95
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:20,720
Speaker 1: actually two plus series, they threw on ten of their

96
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 1: first twelve plays from scrimmage, and after that they said,

97
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:28,160
Speaker 1: let's try the run game and see what happens. And

98
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:30,599
Speaker 1: they also started doing that pin and pull stuff too

99
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:33,799
Speaker 1: up inside, where they were pulling guys back and forth

100
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 1: in the tackle box, but real tight polls and switches

101
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 1: for the offensive line, and man, they were gashing them.

102
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:42,920
Speaker 1: The next four possessions they put points on the board.

103
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:46,719
Speaker 1: They called twenty two passes and sixteen runs and piled

104
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:49,599
Speaker 1: up twenty two points in the process. And the Bills

105
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 1: run game was instrumental in that rate of success on

106
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:56,359
Speaker 1: the offensive side of the ball. I mean, they scored

107
00:05:56,839 --> 00:06:00,200
Speaker 1: on each of their last seven possessions of the game,

108
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 1: if you don't count the kneel down at the end,

109
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 1: and I don't so on their last seven possessions, points

110
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 1: on all of them. And if you can do that

111
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:11,280
Speaker 1: in a football game, and your defense can can force

112
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 1: two or three punts, you're gonna win as long as

113
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 1: you don't turn the ball over exactly, and they didn't.

114
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 1: And I'll say this too, we talked about turnovers last week.

115
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:21,160
Speaker 1: You're in the in the run up to the game,

116
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:23,040
Speaker 1: and how important it was. If Bills don't turn it over,

117
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:25,719
Speaker 1: they're really hard to beat. And even when their red

118
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,159
Speaker 1: zone offense isn't clicking, and they were like two of

119
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:30,480
Speaker 1: what were they two? Two? Five? Five? Yeah, you got

120
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 1: to be better than that, you yeah, even one more touchdown.

121
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:36,280
Speaker 1: I mean, think what this looks like. You know, this

122
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:39,599
Speaker 1: game looks like it's thirty five on the board instead

123
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:44,840
Speaker 1: of thirty one. So that aside the red zone offense aside. Yeah,

124
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:48,799
Speaker 1: it's a dominating performance and the running game key did um.

125
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,919
Speaker 1: They've found another way to win a game against a

126
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 1: team that, yeah, notoriously hasn't hasn't been good against the run,

127
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 1: and they exploited it and they were good enough to

128
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:01,720
Speaker 1: do it. And look, I know, people, and look, we're

129
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:04,720
Speaker 1: taking your takeaways from yesterday's game at eight three fifty

130
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,280
Speaker 1: eight fifty two, five fifty. So if you want to

131
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:10,679
Speaker 1: chime in with your takeaways from yesterday's victory, feel free.

132
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 1: We'll take any and all comers at eight three fifty.

133
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 1: Have an open line for you there, so chime in

134
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:20,240
Speaker 1: if you want. I know people are going to knock

135
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 1: the passing game and how it didn't look right and

136
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 1: it was off, and you can make all of those

137
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 1: comments and you wouldn't be wrong. But I think we

138
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 1: have to take yesterday's game with a grain assault for

139
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 1: two reasons. One, you had an extremely truncated practice schedule

140
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:45,119
Speaker 1: this week. Okay, so let's rewind when people have probably

141
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 1: forgotten about this already. On Wednesday, there were no team

142
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 1: segments of practice because you had five players out sick

143
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 1: and you had more than a half a dozen players

144
00:07:56,960 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 1: out injured, they did not have enough players to put

145
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 1: on the practice field to run team segments of practice

146
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 1: on Wednesday. Thursday, they got a full practice in and

147
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 1: in anticipation of not being able to practice on Friday,

148
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 1: which happened because of the weather, they ran an additional

149
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:22,200
Speaker 1: walkthrough at the end of the workday on Thursday from

150
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 1: about five to five forty five. They ran a long,

151
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 1: extended walk through session at the end of meetings on

152
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:32,319
Speaker 1: Thursday to get extra work in, knowing they probably weren't

153
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 1: going to get much done on the field on Friday,

154
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 1: and that proved to be the case. The snow hit

155
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:41,840
Speaker 1: here in western New York. The southtowns were completely debilitated, isolated,

156
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:47,560
Speaker 1: shut off roads impassable. There's still roads now here on

157
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 1: Monday that are impassable that haven't been plowed yet. And

158
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 1: they met via zoom on Friday, so let's just think

159
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 1: about this, Okay, No team segments of practice on Wednesday,

160
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 1: they ran individual position drills and work Thursday, full practice. Friday,

161
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 1: no practice at all, nothing, so to expect the offense

162
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:18,440
Speaker 1: to be airtight. On Sunday, they walked through the On Saturday,

163
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:20,680
Speaker 1: they're all shoveling their driveways. They're trying to get in.

164
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 1: Joan Player shoveled his driveway for two hours with his neighbors. Okay,

165
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 1: I talked to Devin Singletary at the hotel Saturday night.

166
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 1: He had to walk through waist deep snow for a

167
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 1: quarter of a mile to get to the car that

168
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 1: was picking him up. One of our scouts, Chris Marrow,

169
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:42,560
Speaker 1: picked him up and drove him to the facility to

170
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:45,760
Speaker 1: get him on the bus to the airport. So let's

171
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 1: just think about this one practice all week, like one

172
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 1: regular practice all week, guys exerting themselves in a much

173
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 1: different fashion. And for those of you that were like

174
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 1: me that were clearing our driveway on our sidewalks, I

175
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 1: don't know about you, guys. I took a bath on

176
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 1: Friday night just to soak my body. That's how freaking

177
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 1: sore I was after shoveling all that stuff off my

178
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:15,320
Speaker 1: driveway Apron, which remains the bane of my existence. The

179
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 1: driveway Apron in the winter. Dear God, it's the worst

180
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 1: thing going. I mean, I got backsaber shovels. It just

181
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:25,080
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. But I'm telling you right now, Steve, it

182
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:28,199
Speaker 1: felt like I had my arms ripped off and then

183
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 1: surgically reattached. That's how sore my shoulders were. I know

184
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 1: I'm getting old, but my god, I was sore for

185
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:41,200
Speaker 1: like two days. Yeah, it wasn't that bad for us. Yeah,

186
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:43,199
Speaker 1: you forgot well, you had the crew. You had a

187
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 1: shoveling crew in your house. I had like ten people

188
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:47,839
Speaker 1: staying at the house for the game, and we ran

189
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 1: out of shovels. They were breaking shovels right and left,

190
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:53,439
Speaker 1: and my shovels were not. My shovels were the kind were,

191
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:55,440
Speaker 1: you know, because usually you know, I got the shovels

192
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:58,080
Speaker 1: that you push right, Oh, kind of like those guys

193
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 1: used to using the ice at the sabers. It's exactly right.

194
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:02,840
Speaker 1: I got two of those. I actually got three or

195
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 1: four of those. I got two great, big wide ones

196
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:07,720
Speaker 1: for when we clear the ice on my pond, we'll

197
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:10,719
Speaker 1: go out and skate, usually in February. Yeah, but then

198
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:12,600
Speaker 1: I've got others as you can use both ways. Right,

199
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:16,280
Speaker 1: So yeah, those a couple of those broke. And these

200
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 1: guys are down from Alaska. They're in for a football game,

201
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden they turn into the road

202
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:23,320
Speaker 1: crew of a chain gang and you know, they may

203
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:25,079
Speaker 1: as well be they may as well have manacles on

204
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 1: it because they can't leave, right, So so what what

205
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:32,840
Speaker 1: was gonna what the potential for having a fantastic weekend

206
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 1: blew up by turnsday night turned catastrophic and you know,

207
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 1: we're marooned. We My driveway is long, and it overwhelmed

208
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 1: my plow guy. He couldn't get in. And you know

209
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 1: that you couldn't even push the snow. It was too deep. No,

210
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:49,440
Speaker 1: and that's why there are still roads here in the

211
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 1: south towns that have not been plowed. People don't understanda well,

212
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 1: why I thought were good at this. What's the problem.

213
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:55,839
Speaker 1: The problem is you got six feet of snow. Yeah

214
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:58,840
Speaker 1: they could, and even the commercial plow trucks from the

215
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 1: Public Works and Highway Department, from the local towns and municipalities,

216
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 1: it's too much snow to push. They can't push it

217
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:06,040
Speaker 1: out of the way. So and that's what happened to

218
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 1: my driveway. And he got in with a high loader

219
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:12,080
Speaker 1: and that got stuck. So it was like a couple

220
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:15,199
Speaker 1: of hours later and then you know, so last so

221
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:19,079
Speaker 1: they come in Thursday, last night, we could get our

222
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 1: vehicles in. Wow, Other than that we were walking in

223
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:24,600
Speaker 1: and out of the property and it was Yeah, it

224
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 1: was a it was a catastrophe. So hold on, I

225
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:32,440
Speaker 1: have a question. So most of these people that were

226
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:36,680
Speaker 1: in were from Alaska. Sure, they've obviously seen a lot

227
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:39,200
Speaker 1: of snow. What did they make of this? No, not

228
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:42,200
Speaker 1: like this? Yeah, I'm curious. What did they say about

229
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 1: this lake effect event that was they were? They were like, yeah,

230
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:50,720
Speaker 1: a lot of snow, you know. And we we got

231
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 1: out and we cleared my patty. We needed a place

232
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 1: to go, you know, we want to get outside, right,

233
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 1: so we cleared this patty. I have a pretty good

234
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:59,960
Speaker 1: sized patio. But it took them, you know, it took

235
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 1: like six full grown men each with shovels and a snowblower.

236
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 1: It took him like an hour and a half to

237
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:08,200
Speaker 1: get it all out, and they it was like and

238
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:09,680
Speaker 1: they were fighting it because they had to go back

239
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 1: and start again because it kept filling up. Right, so

240
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:17,439
Speaker 1: it was here. Yeah, So we did that and they

241
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:22,040
Speaker 1: finally get that all cleared off, and then late on

242
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:24,360
Speaker 1: was it late on Friday night it stopped. I can't

243
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 1: remember the days now, I'm a blur. Well, it stopped

244
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:28,920
Speaker 1: for a while. I think it late Friday night. I

245
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 1: think it stopped and uh, you know they got out

246
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:36,719
Speaker 1: and we built a fire, you know, so you're out

247
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:39,840
Speaker 1: there and it was just then they had Then they

248
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:42,440
Speaker 1: went over and they they helped the Nate, Well, they

249
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 1: helped my other son, he's got you know, the business

250
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 1: in ea. They that thing was buried, so they helped

251
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 1: him do that, undo that, and he gave him all

252
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 1: the ice cream they could eat for helping. But you know,

253
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 1: it was just one of those weekends. It was not

254
00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:59,040
Speaker 1: we couldn't yet, we couldn't get out of the house.

255
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:01,480
Speaker 1: I mean, there's literally really I went out the second

256
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:05,720
Speaker 1: day on Friday morning and walked out and back in

257
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:08,120
Speaker 1: snowshoes to try and pack a pass so people could

258
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:10,600
Speaker 1: get in and out of the property so we could

259
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 1: hike out and then somebody could come by and pick

260
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:15,360
Speaker 1: us up and drive us, you know, after the band

261
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:19,960
Speaker 1: was up and so we were stuck. Yeah, we were stuck. Yeah,

262
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 1: Fortunately that wasn't the case for us, Alan Lancaster. We

263
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:26,040
Speaker 1: got about three three and a half almost four feet,

264
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 1: but we were able to stay on top of it

265
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 1: because it came in two waves Thursday night into Friday morning,

266
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 1: two two and a half feet and then it stopped

267
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 1: at like eleven am. So you get out and you

268
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:43,200
Speaker 1: clear it all. Yeah, and we didn't snow again there

269
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:47,640
Speaker 1: until Friday night overnight into Saturday. So you wake up

270
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 1: Saturday morning and you clear another fourteen inches and you

271
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 1: can stay ahead of it, because you guys couldn't stay

272
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 1: ahead of it because it never stopped. You're like, what

273
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 1: four miles north of me something like that, So we

274
00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 1: were coming. It's probably more than that, all right, So

275
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:01,240
Speaker 1: we were under twelve We have a different time zone.

276
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 1: And when we were snowing with us, and when it

277
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 1: was snowing with you, and you're right it he our

278
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 1: our guy plowed at once and before he could get

279
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 1: back in because you know, he didn't make the rounds

280
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 1: right before he get back to us, it was literally

281
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 1: two and a half feet deep. I have some friends

282
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:23,800
Speaker 1: who are plowed drivers, and one guy has commercial clients,

283
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:26,480
Speaker 1: and yeah, he basically slept in his truck in the

284
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:29,520
Speaker 1: parking lot because he would not have been able to

285
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 1: stay on top of it where he could plow it

286
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 1: unless he was doing it every two hours. That's right,

287
00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:37,040
Speaker 1: That's the way it was. And so we were all

288
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:38,880
Speaker 1: in the same boat. It was great seeing the pictures

289
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:40,400
Speaker 1: and the videos of the if you hadn't been to

290
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 1: go to the Bills app and they that pictures of

291
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:45,880
Speaker 1: guys and and of course all all the players facebook

292
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:48,920
Speaker 1: pages and their Instagram accounts, they were all chronicling the

293
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:50,800
Speaker 1: help they got. It was to get out of the city,

294
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 1: and it was a full organizational effort with assistance from

295
00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 1: neighborhood residents. The mafia showed up, the Bills Mafia showed up,

296
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 1: and really they helped out. That's why the players dedicated

297
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:05,200
Speaker 1: the win to the fans, because they literally helped them

298
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 1: get to Detroit. And once you sit back and look

299
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:11,160
Speaker 1: at it, it's no wonder they got off to the

300
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 1: slow start. Well right, the way you chronicled it, you know,

301
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:16,200
Speaker 1: they couldn't practice, They couldn't get ready, I mean game

302
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:20,920
Speaker 1: planning by looking at it on the computer screen. They

303
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 1: couldn't practice early in the week, not because of the storm,

304
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 1: but because of the sickness that ran through the locker

305
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 1: room and the injury list that was so long. They

306
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:30,320
Speaker 1: had like, you know, half, you know, a third of

307
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:33,880
Speaker 1: the rosters like not available, so they couldn't really practice.

308
00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:35,360
Speaker 1: Here's the thing, you're not going to go out and

309
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 1: practice and get guys who aren't even gonna be in

310
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 1: the game ready, I mean, what are you doing? So

311
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 1: and their plan, they had a plan in place. They

312
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 1: contracted a bunch of plow drivers and said, hey, plow

313
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 1: out all of these driveways of player residences so they

314
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:52,080
Speaker 1: can get their vehicles out, they can get to the stadium,

315
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 1: we can throw them on a bus, and they can

316
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 1: go to the airport and fly to Detroit. The problem

317
00:16:56,080 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 1: was the snow was too high for your regular plow

318
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:03,160
Speaker 1: contractors to move the snow like we've been talking about.

319
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:05,920
Speaker 1: So then it became a dig out and mass pickup

320
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 1: on Operaturday morning. And you all saw this, if you've

321
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:11,240
Speaker 1: if you've kept up with the content that's being turned

322
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 1: out by all these guys and our n our people

323
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:18,440
Speaker 1: as well, on Saturday morning, everything that they had planned

324
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:21,120
Speaker 1: for coming up to that moment, we just got scrapped.

325
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:23,240
Speaker 1: They just threw because there was too much. They reached

326
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 1: out to each player individually and said, what's it gonna

327
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:30,239
Speaker 1: take for you to get in? What's your situation? Can

328
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:31,840
Speaker 1: you get in? Can you get in? You need help?

329
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 1: Can you help? Can you get to this spot? Because

330
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:35,159
Speaker 1: if you can get to this spot, we can come

331
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:38,440
Speaker 1: get you in. That's why you got Devin Singletary walking

332
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:42,360
Speaker 1: through a quarter mile waist deep snow getting out. Um.

333
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 1: And so it's obvious. You know, there's the coaches. You

334
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 1: see the coaches, these guys. He's got Wendy's got snowshoes on.

335
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 1: That's the assistant offensive line coach. He's got snowshoes on.

336
00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:59,119
Speaker 1: It's great. That makes it. You know, if you've got snowshoes,

337
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 1: I've got, I've got are just like that. Yeah, And

338
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:04,359
Speaker 1: like I said, I had to. I had to do

339
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:07,919
Speaker 1: it just to you know, to get in, so to

340
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:11,960
Speaker 1: get to carve a path. So all these guys each

341
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:13,959
Speaker 1: they had to call him out, each individual, and they

342
00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:16,480
Speaker 1: all had to make up an individual plan for each guy.

343
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:18,199
Speaker 1: Plus you know, all the teammates are calling him. They

344
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:20,159
Speaker 1: lived some of them live in the same neighborhoods and stuff. Say,

345
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:21,960
Speaker 1: all right, here we go, guys, at this time, we're

346
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 1: headed out. Let's go. Most there they are. Most guys

347
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:28,120
Speaker 1: were able to get picked up by cars as we're

348
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 1: seeing as our MSG viewers, we're seeing Devin Singletary get

349
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 1: picked up now. And there was one player who had

350
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:42,600
Speaker 1: to get picked up on a snowmobile. Tremaine Edmonds could

351
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:46,520
Speaker 1: not get out his street was not plowed and the

352
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:48,320
Speaker 1: only way to get to him was to send an

353
00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 1: Erie County chef Sheriff's rescue snowmobile to his house, pop

354
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:55,439
Speaker 1: him on the snowmobile and ride down. You got all that,

355
00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:58,240
Speaker 1: and at Oliver shows up. We're showing pictures now he

356
00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:01,880
Speaker 1: shows up in flip flops, socks and shorty and shorts.

357
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:06,960
Speaker 1: I'm like, dude, what he's like. It was bad. Yeah,

358
00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 1: it's like, yeah, put some put some shoes with laces on.

359
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:13,919
Speaker 1: How about some pants and some pants? But yeah, it

360
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,879
Speaker 1: was to a man though everybody was thinking. The Bills

361
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 1: fans and the neighbors that you know, pitched in and

362
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:23,480
Speaker 1: helped out, and you know, many hands made make light work.

363
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:25,199
Speaker 1: It worked, and they got it done and they got

364
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:27,640
Speaker 1: to win as well. And now it's interestingly enough, as

365
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:29,280
Speaker 1: we've been, you know, hearing about and you got to think,

366
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 1: kind of wrap your mind around, Bills are gonna be

367
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:35,720
Speaker 1: on the same field in three days. The interesting thing

368
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:40,200
Speaker 1: about that, Steve was going to the game this past weekend.

369
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 1: The Bills were the home team playing the Browns, and

370
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 1: coach McDermott said, nope, I want to go in the

371
00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 1: visitor's locker room and I want to be on the

372
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:53,439
Speaker 1: visitor's sideline because that's what we're going to do in

373
00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:57,080
Speaker 1: four days so that these guys can effectively visualize the

374
00:19:57,080 --> 00:20:00,720
Speaker 1: next games coming in ten minutes. It's gonna be seventy

375
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:03,720
Speaker 1: two hours exactly from kickoff. Yep. So that's I mean,

376
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:05,359
Speaker 1: and I'll tell you that's how they slice it up.

377
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:07,679
Speaker 1: There's just they got so much work to do and

378
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:11,280
Speaker 1: so much prep work to do. They carve us seventy

379
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:15,000
Speaker 1: two hours and counting here we go, and that's uh yeah,

380
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:17,919
Speaker 1: it's amazing. It's a great effort. Um. It's one of

381
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:20,240
Speaker 1: those things that Bill's fans are gonna remember it for

382
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:21,840
Speaker 1: a long time, these players are gonna remember it for

383
00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 1: a long time, and it goes in the history books

384
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:26,480
Speaker 1: as a win. So yeah, yeah, that's it was funny

385
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:28,720
Speaker 1: after the games, von Miller's talking about how it was

386
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:31,280
Speaker 1: a once in a lifetime event for him. He goes like,

387
00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:33,119
Speaker 1: guess it's not for Buffalo. I was like, yeah, it

388
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:36,160
Speaker 1: happened seven years ago, buddy, and it was worse. Yeah,

389
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:39,359
Speaker 1: that once a decade it looks like. But let's get

390
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:41,520
Speaker 1: to the phones at eight O three oh five fifty

391
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:44,240
Speaker 1: one eight eight eight five fifty two five fifty hundred

392
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:48,280
Speaker 1: takeaways from the game on Sunday. If you have any

393
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:50,600
Speaker 1: snow stories to throw in there as well, feel free.

394
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:52,280
Speaker 1: At eight O three oh five fifty we go to

395
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:54,520
Speaker 1: Scott in Jamestown to lead us off today. What do

396
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:57,520
Speaker 1: you have, Scott? Hey, I'm happy about yesterday's game, but

397
00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:06,920
Speaker 1: I'm mad about when I kissed. Yeah. Uh, they weren't all.

398
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:09,520
Speaker 1: They weren't all good calls by the officials. I think

399
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:14,119
Speaker 1: we can agree on that, because there were some questionable

400
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:16,679
Speaker 1: borderline calls. I think there were some flat out calls

401
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:19,280
Speaker 1: that they missed. Apparently it's okay to tackle guys by

402
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:23,120
Speaker 1: their earhole on their helmet that wasn't picked up on um.

403
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:28,000
Speaker 1: There were some issues with the penalty calls. But yeah,

404
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:31,200
Speaker 1: the Bills had eight penalties for eighty nine yards. Many

405
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:35,720
Speaker 1: of those cost them big plays on not big plays,

406
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:39,480
Speaker 1: but productive plays on offense that got called back on penalty,

407
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 1: mostly of the holding variety, So they've got to clean

408
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:45,920
Speaker 1: that up. And on the back end defensively, yeah, there

409
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:48,960
Speaker 1: was there were some issues there that they'll have to

410
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:51,080
Speaker 1: clean up. Also, yeah, I thought the officials had a

411
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:54,840
Speaker 1: rough day. I mean, it's not that it doesn't happen. Um.

412
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:57,679
Speaker 1: I was shocked that some of the calls they made

413
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:01,960
Speaker 1: in the secondary against the Pills parents called and I

414
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 1: was like, well, if they're calling that, you're telling me

415
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:09,680
Speaker 1: that's not going on when the Cleveland Browns are on

416
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:11,879
Speaker 1: the field. Yeah, it was like do you I mean,

417
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:13,760
Speaker 1: you can't run a route in the NFL and not

418
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:15,680
Speaker 1: have the kind of contact we were seeing on every

419
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:18,800
Speaker 1: play and then they were calling them, you know, the

420
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:21,280
Speaker 1: penalties I thought, I was, you know, and of course

421
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:23,080
Speaker 1: you never see that. I mean, they didn't show us

422
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:26,360
Speaker 1: replays of a clean play in the secondary. But man,

423
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:29,119
Speaker 1: oh man, Adrian Hill's crew left a lot to be desired.

424
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:31,880
Speaker 1: That's what I thought too. And it happens sometimes, but man,

425
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:34,800
Speaker 1: I mean I was some of them were legit, absolutely,

426
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:38,399
Speaker 1: but yes, but yeah, that's kind of where it is,

427
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:42,359
Speaker 1: it seemed. Yeah, and as always in these situations, and

428
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:44,119
Speaker 1: I'm laughing at it because it seemed like it was

429
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:46,200
Speaker 1: one side the house comings is against us and never

430
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:48,560
Speaker 1: as them. And that's the I try not to be

431
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:52,600
Speaker 1: by that way absolute go to argument for everybody who's

432
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:56,400
Speaker 1: ever argument or gotta keep playing, you gotta keep playing.

433
00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:58,600
Speaker 1: Let's go to Joe and Rochester next. What do you

434
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 1: got for us? Joe? You're on One Bill's Live, Joe. Oh,

435
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:08,200
Speaker 1: Joe's listening to his radio. Hello, I'm here, Hey Joe, Joe,

436
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:12,160
Speaker 1: don't listen to radio. Well, no, listen to the radio,

437
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:13,880
Speaker 1: but just listen to your phone at the same time.

438
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:17,520
Speaker 1: What do you got for us, Joe? Yeah, I'm just

439
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 1: amazed that our inability to run a decent screenplay. I

440
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:26,760
Speaker 1: don't know how many times he's had a We've had

441
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:29,640
Speaker 1: a screenplay set up and he, Josh has to throw

442
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:32,880
Speaker 1: the ball into the ground. It's just kind of sad

443
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:36,919
Speaker 1: that we just can't do it. You look at teams

444
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:41,040
Speaker 1: like Kansas City, who has a zillion different screenplays and

445
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:45,600
Speaker 1: they run it well, it's just the offensive line. I

446
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:47,760
Speaker 1: don't know what it is, but we just can't seem

447
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:51,560
Speaker 1: to get a screenplay going. Yeah, it is interesting, and

448
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:53,359
Speaker 1: I'm not going to disagree with you, Joe. It's a

449
00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:56,440
Speaker 1: valid point. A lot of their screens have been muddy

450
00:23:56,560 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 1: this year, and it has compromised the effectives of you

451
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:03,040
Speaker 1: know that that kind of play calling, and I think

452
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:06,560
Speaker 1: that's why they've been wound up being few and far between.

453
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:09,080
Speaker 1: And here's the other thing. When you don't practice all week,

454
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:12,560
Speaker 1: it's even harder to execute a screenplay because there are

455
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:15,399
Speaker 1: so many moving parts in that thing. It's an easy

456
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:19,879
Speaker 1: completion to execute, but all the blocking elements involved and

457
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:23,680
Speaker 1: the timing of the blocking with the catch. Well, here's

458
00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:26,400
Speaker 1: the thing too different. Here's here's the really frustrating part

459
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 1: about it. Screens kill our defense. Yeah, we always see

460
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:32,879
Speaker 1: them like, how's can they work against us? And we

461
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:34,920
Speaker 1: can't get them to work against anybody else. So it's

462
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:37,399
Speaker 1: kind of a double edged sword. Not only do we

463
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:41,240
Speaker 1: not run them that well, they catch our defense a lot.

464
00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:43,159
Speaker 1: And that was one of those are one of the

465
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:45,120
Speaker 1: some of the most positive plays that the Browns were

466
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:48,120
Speaker 1: able to put together yesterday was that were the screen passes,

467
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:52,040
Speaker 1: particularly on third and long, and it was pretty, uh,

468
00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:55,520
Speaker 1: it was pretty frustrating. I think. So when you can't

469
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:58,480
Speaker 1: when you don't have that kind of tool in your toolbox,

470
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 1: or at least don't run it well, and then you

471
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:05,480
Speaker 1: always get hit by it defensively, it's pretty frustrating to watch.

472
00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:12,080
Speaker 1: But Nevertheless, there's not too much wrong with this Bill's offense,

473
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:16,680
Speaker 1: even yesterday, when you know Josh didn't put up mammoth numbers. Still,

474
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:19,080
Speaker 1: he's pretty efficient, had an over one hundred rating and

475
00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:22,720
Speaker 1: all that. So it even though there are things that

476
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:25,720
Speaker 1: you'd love to see him do better, I think they've

477
00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:27,600
Speaker 1: got all that under their hood, and they've all they've

478
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:31,000
Speaker 1: got it in their their arsenal. You'd like to see

479
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 1: it once in a while, maybe a little more, but

480
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:36,120
Speaker 1: you'll see. I don't know. I think as nyheim Hines

481
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:41,679
Speaker 1: gets more acclimated to the offensive system, I think he

482
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:45,639
Speaker 1: is the perfect guy to run screen passes with because

483
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:48,280
Speaker 1: that guy, even if the blocking is a little muddy

484
00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:54,600
Speaker 1: on a screenplay, is elusive and quick enough to make

485
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:58,720
Speaker 1: people miss even if blocks aren't executed to perfection. I'll

486
00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:01,560
Speaker 1: say this too, Um, when you got a quarterback like

487
00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:10,080
Speaker 1: Josh Teams, I don't want to say, don't expect the

488
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:13,159
Speaker 1: quarterback to get in trouble like that. But when you

489
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:16,600
Speaker 1: got a quarterback that's else as elusive as Josh Allen is,

490
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:20,520
Speaker 1: defense is rush you a little different than they do

491
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:26,639
Speaker 1: everybody else, and Josh has to act like he's in

492
00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:31,440
Speaker 1: trouble in a screen pass, you know what I mean? Yeah, Yeah,

493
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:33,639
Speaker 1: you're like, oh my gosh, they got him. Well you

494
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:37,239
Speaker 1: never got him? Yeah, so or never think you if

495
00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:39,480
Speaker 1: you never think you've got him. So this is really

496
00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:42,320
Speaker 1: hard to sell on a quarterback like Josh, knowing that

497
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:44,800
Speaker 1: no matter how fast you get back there or whatever,

498
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:47,960
Speaker 1: he's either gonna get away and run away or he's

499
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:51,719
Speaker 1: gonna stiff arm, you know. And he's got a taser

500
00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:56,359
Speaker 1: of a stiff arm. So maybe that has something to

501
00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:57,960
Speaker 1: do with it. I hadn't really thought about it until

502
00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:00,959
Speaker 1: until we started having this discussion. But it might be

503
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:03,080
Speaker 1: that Josh isn't really the greatest quarterback to run a

504
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:05,359
Speaker 1: screen pass with because he's never the pass rush is

505
00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:07,080
Speaker 1: never that big a deal to him, even when there's

506
00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:11,720
Speaker 1: a jailbreak, So it's hard to catch him in a

507
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:15,240
Speaker 1: moment like that. And maybe he's not Maybe he's not

508
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:19,560
Speaker 1: a good actor. I don't know. It's got it's gotta

509
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:21,560
Speaker 1: be something though. There might be something. There's gotta be

510
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:23,800
Speaker 1: something might be something to that. Let's go back to

511
00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:25,880
Speaker 1: the phones and to Mike and cheek to Walgan next,

512
00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:32,159
Speaker 1: what do you got for us? Mike? Mike are you're there? Yeah,

513
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:33,800
Speaker 1: I'm here. Hey, what do you got for us? Mike,

514
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:36,760
Speaker 1: You're on? Hey, thanks for taking my call. Sure. I've

515
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:39,480
Speaker 1: been a fans the Bill since I was eight years old.

516
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:42,959
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be sixty five soon. I remember them practicing

517
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:45,920
Speaker 1: at the old Camel Out Motoring on Mile Stript Road,

518
00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:49,520
Speaker 1: you know, and I've been a fan forever. The problem

519
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:53,840
Speaker 1: might see this year, the offensive facts are not turning

520
00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:57,080
Speaker 1: around to make a play on the ball, and when

521
00:27:57,080 --> 00:28:00,280
Speaker 1: they do, they don't knock the ball down. Well, what

522
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:02,400
Speaker 1: did Tomorrow Hamlin do yesterday when he got a called

523
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:04,640
Speaker 1: for defensive pass interference? I think he did all three

524
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:08,159
Speaker 1: of those things correct, you know. And it's just very frustrating.

525
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:10,520
Speaker 1: The last three weeks it's been like that. On third,

526
00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:14,560
Speaker 1: bone and long they're converting. It's just sad. Yeah, you're right, Yeah,

527
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:16,200
Speaker 1: the Bills have been given up a lot of third

528
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:19,120
Speaker 1: and long conversions. But I'll say this, it's not just

529
00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:22,639
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills defense. I've watched a ton of games yesterday,

530
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:25,920
Speaker 1: as watching the red Zone as well last night, and

531
00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:28,159
Speaker 1: at the end of the four clock segment of games,

532
00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:32,399
Speaker 1: and every defensive backfield in the league is going through

533
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:34,760
Speaker 1: exactly what the Bills are going through. I think the

534
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:37,800
Speaker 1: way they're calling it in the defensive backfield this year,

535
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:40,760
Speaker 1: the emphasis on a legal car, whatever the emphasis is,

536
00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:44,520
Speaker 1: it's manifesting itself. And these balls just flying right by

537
00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:51,240
Speaker 1: these dbs and getting impossibly caught by these wide receivers

538
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:55,360
Speaker 1: and tight ends down the field where the dB just

539
00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:58,600
Speaker 1: they've got their hand in there, they've got their hand,

540
00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:02,800
Speaker 1: it's just or magically misses them. There's a ton of

541
00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:05,840
Speaker 1: that going on where these defensive backs all across the NFL,

542
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:08,400
Speaker 1: not just the Bills, all across the NFL, are right

543
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:12,360
Speaker 1: there on this receiver and because they can't turn around

544
00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:14,440
Speaker 1: and look, because if you turn around a look, you

545
00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:17,520
Speaker 1: lose your coverage, and they don't want him to do that,

546
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:19,840
Speaker 1: you know, because if you if you turn around and

547
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:23,760
Speaker 1: look for the football, chances are you're not doing the

548
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:26,560
Speaker 1: most of the time, you're not looking at the right time.

549
00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:28,520
Speaker 1: And if you look at the wrong time, the receiver

550
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:31,480
Speaker 1: turns when you're looking someplace else, and now he's in

551
00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:34,280
Speaker 1: space by himself, and you're running off in a different direction.

552
00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:36,320
Speaker 1: That can even happen in tight covers. That's what happen

553
00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:39,200
Speaker 1: to Arren Johnson on the touchdown. That's what happened yesterday

554
00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:44,360
Speaker 1: in the overtime win by the Raiders when Davanta Adams

555
00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:48,960
Speaker 1: just throws a sick route up the up and squares

556
00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:52,040
Speaker 1: up and gets out and he catches one. Davanta Adams,

557
00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:57,080
Speaker 1: the most dangerous receiver in the league, is alone in

558
00:29:57,240 --> 00:30:01,240
Speaker 1: overtime for the win. Alone. How open with Diggs yesterday?

559
00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:03,800
Speaker 1: And that's it. So they teach these guys, They coach

560
00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:05,959
Speaker 1: it not to look for the football because they know

561
00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:09,160
Speaker 1: if they can stay in position, it's a hard throw

562
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:11,720
Speaker 1: to make. Yeah, just plaster. It's just plaster him, and

563
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:13,280
Speaker 1: it's a hard throw to make and get your arm

564
00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:15,760
Speaker 1: up and the chances are. And they also teach him

565
00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:18,880
Speaker 1: too to look at the receiver and play his eyes.

566
00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:21,360
Speaker 1: You can tell when somebody's looking high for a football

567
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:24,520
Speaker 1: or low for a football or out. And also receivers,

568
00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:28,080
Speaker 1: you'll see them never reach for the football until the

569
00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:31,800
Speaker 1: last possible moment because dbs watch their hands and their

570
00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:34,320
Speaker 1: body language to get an idea of where they're going

571
00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:35,840
Speaker 1: to have to catch the ball. And if they start

572
00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:39,560
Speaker 1: to reach up for it, the dB reaches up high

573
00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:41,560
Speaker 1: for it, two gets in the way. So That's how

574
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:45,320
Speaker 1: they're coached because they can't let that guy go. They

575
00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:47,720
Speaker 1: can't take their eyes off him because he'll know, he'll

576
00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:52,280
Speaker 1: turn and then they're done. They're the guy's open. That's

577
00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:54,120
Speaker 1: just the way it is. Plus if they do catch it,

578
00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:55,760
Speaker 1: you're looking at him. You can pull them down, you

579
00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:59,880
Speaker 1: can get The new emphasis on a legal contact has

580
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:03,600
Speaker 1: forced defensive backs to play differently, and I think the

581
00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:07,200
Speaker 1: vast majority of the league is still adjusting. And once again,

582
00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:11,040
Speaker 1: it's another rule that anybody will tell you favors the

583
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:14,720
Speaker 1: offense and scoring, and that's what we're seeing. We have

584
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:16,880

00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:54,880
Speaker 1: down when Big Spot has touched down to celebrate with him.

611
00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:59,160
Speaker 1: Something going on there. I don't doubt it. I don't

612
00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:03,200
Speaker 1: think so, because on their way to the sideline after

613
00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:04,920
Speaker 1: the touchdown, you know, a couple of guys that were

614
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:07,600
Speaker 1: near him in the end zone congratulated him. He started

615
00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:10,880
Speaker 1: heading to the Bill's sideline. Josh waited for him in

616
00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:12,920
Speaker 1: the middle of the field and they kind of dapped

617
00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:14,560
Speaker 1: each other up at that point. So it was about

618
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:19,440
Speaker 1: ten seconds later after the score had been made. And

619
00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:22,920
Speaker 1: then you're talking about what CBS caught on the telecast

620
00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:26,200
Speaker 1: yesterday when Diggs went up to McDermott on the sideline,

621
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:30,680
Speaker 1: looked a little exasperated and frustrated, and coach kind of

622
00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:34,240
Speaker 1: talked him off the ledge. Here's the thing, if you

623
00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:42,320
Speaker 1: don't know Stefan Diggs, the man is an ultimate competitor.

624
00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:48,640
Speaker 1: You remember the AFC Championship Game two years ago and

625
00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:53,800
Speaker 1: how difficult it was for him to process the fact

626
00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:57,320
Speaker 1: that they had lost the AFC title game. Now, let's

627
00:33:57,400 --> 00:34:00,720
Speaker 1: not forget this man has also lost an NC title

628
00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:06,840
Speaker 1: game in his career. So there he was again wants

629
00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:08,279
Speaker 1: to get to the top of the mountain in his

630
00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:11,960
Speaker 1: profession and could not do so. He stood there with

631
00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:17,759
Speaker 1: his hands on his helmet for over two or three minutes, teammates.

632
00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:20,360
Speaker 1: McDermott had to come out and bring him to the

633
00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:24,319
Speaker 1: locker room because he was so beside himself. That's how

634
00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:28,759
Speaker 1: bad that guy wants to win, and more importantly, he

635
00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:32,040
Speaker 1: wants to be a main factor in contributing to the victory.

636
00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:35,640
Speaker 1: At that point in time in the game, he had

637
00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:38,680
Speaker 1: yet to be targeted. The Bills were losing I think

638
00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:41,880
Speaker 1: ten to three at that point, and he had not

639
00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:44,640
Speaker 1: had a ball thrown in his direction on their first

640
00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:49,840
Speaker 1: two series. So coming off a two game losing streak,

641
00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:53,800
Speaker 1: now you're down ten to three to the Browns, and

642
00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:57,160
Speaker 1: he's like, I want to help. I know I can help,

643
00:34:57,680 --> 00:35:01,360
Speaker 1: but I'm dependent upon all these other people, including Josh.

644
00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:04,960
Speaker 1: What am I supposed to do? That's my general feeling

645
00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:07,160
Speaker 1: as to what he was going to coach McDermott with.

646
00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:10,600
Speaker 1: He was exasperated and coach had to kind of talk

647
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:11,920
Speaker 1: him off the ledge, and I thought he did a

648
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:13,239
Speaker 1: good job of doing that in the span of a

649
00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:18,200
Speaker 1: minute and a half. Yeah, I don't think there's anything there. Certainly,

650
00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:23,600
Speaker 1: it was a frustrating dig starting out for everybody, including

651
00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:25,640
Speaker 1: Steph Diggs. I mean, he didn't get it, didn't get

652
00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:27,759
Speaker 1: a target for most of the first half. His first

653
00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:32,399
Speaker 1: target was the touchdown catch, and it's frustrating. Plus none

654
00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:34,520
Speaker 1: of nobody else on offense was playing that good either.

655
00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:36,600
Speaker 1: I mean, Dawson Knox was having you know a little

656
00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:38,880
Speaker 1: bit of a few receptions and all that. But it

657
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:43,560
Speaker 1: was frustrating for everybody. And as for Josh and Diggs, No,

658
00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:46,040
Speaker 1: I think those boys. I think those guys love each other.

659
00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:49,120
Speaker 1: I think they're fine. That doesn't That's not an issue

660
00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:51,520
Speaker 1: for me, I don't think at all. Certainly Diggs was

661
00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:53,800
Speaker 1: frustrated with how it was going and all that, and

662
00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:56,840
Speaker 1: he wants to help, and that's just normal. So I

663
00:35:57,120 --> 00:36:01,640
Speaker 1: don't think there's anything long term there or something that's

664
00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:04,600
Speaker 1: festering or anything like that. I think it's just you know,

665
00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:07,000
Speaker 1: bad spot in the game, and he's he wants to help,

666
00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:09,680
Speaker 1: and he's saying, hey, why is it going well? And

667
00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:14,000
Speaker 1: I think they forget they didn't get a chance to practice,

668
00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:16,400
Speaker 1: you know. And the point I'm trying, the point I

669
00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:20,400
Speaker 1: was trying to make, is that Dig's frustration is rooted

670
00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:25,440
Speaker 1: in his inability in that moment to do everything he

671
00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:28,640
Speaker 1: can to help turn it around. Because his position as

672
00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:31,480
Speaker 1: a receiver, as you well know, Steve is dependent on

673
00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:35,000
Speaker 1: a multitude of other factors, the line blocking enough, the

674
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:38,719
Speaker 1: quarterback making a raid and throwing him the football, so

675
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:41,440
Speaker 1: you can get frustrating at times. I don't think he

676
00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:44,040
Speaker 1: was being selfish or anything like that he thinks. I

677
00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:46,560
Speaker 1: think he's I think he's trying to implore, you know,

678
00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:49,160
Speaker 1: trying to implore, maybe even trying to talk to coach

679
00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:52,880
Speaker 1: about saying, hey, coach, you know I'm winning on my

680
00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:56,080
Speaker 1: rouse something you know, help us, you know, do something, either,

681
00:36:56,640 --> 00:36:58,560
Speaker 1: you know, talk to Ken Dorsey or whatever. Maybe that

682
00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:01,800
Speaker 1: was it. I mean, that's as at as serious a

683
00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:03,879
Speaker 1: thing as I could think of him saying in that moment.

684
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:06,120
Speaker 1: But I'm sure it was just a little frustration over

685
00:37:06,239 --> 00:37:09,120
Speaker 1: how the game was going. Yeah. I don't think that's

686
00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:12,400
Speaker 1: a long term problem or something that's festering or doing

687
00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:17,160
Speaker 1: anything like that. I particularly between Diggs and Josh Yeah.

688
00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:20,920
Speaker 1: So yeah, I think those guys are solid. Yeah, And

689
00:37:21,239 --> 00:37:24,760
Speaker 1: I think that in some ways, that was how Stefan

690
00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:28,680
Speaker 1: Diggs was misconstrued in Minnesota. He was portrayed as a

691
00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:33,800
Speaker 1: malcontent when all of his issues were rooted in wanting

692
00:37:33,880 --> 00:37:36,359
Speaker 1: to do more for his team so that the team

693
00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:38,600
Speaker 1: could win. And I think that was a little bit

694
00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:40,840
Speaker 1: at work yesterday when he went to coach and was

695
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:43,920
Speaker 1: a little exasperated. We go back to the phones and

696
00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:47,600
Speaker 1: to Chris in Brooklyn. What do you got for us? Chris, Hey, guys,

697
00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:51,160
Speaker 1: thanks for taking my call. Um. My biggest thing yesterday,

698
00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:53,640
Speaker 1: what I love to see was that the offense took

699
00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:57,120
Speaker 1: the pressure off Josh Allen to the run game. The

700
00:37:57,239 --> 00:38:00,600
Speaker 1: run game was was great. Guys were sustain drives with

701
00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:04,560
Speaker 1: the run, you know, taking time off the clock and

702
00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:08,160
Speaker 1: just generally given Alan some options. They also remember Dawson

703
00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:11,320
Speaker 1: Knox was out there and started throwing some passes to Dawson,

704
00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:14,480
Speaker 1: which was fantastic. And then to me, I think the

705
00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:17,359
Speaker 1: key moment was, you know, because Alan looked a little

706
00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:20,160
Speaker 1: shaky in the first half. To me, the key was

707
00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:22,560
Speaker 1: that final two minute drive. I was watching the game

708
00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:24,239
Speaker 1: with my brother and my dad and I was to

709
00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:26,520
Speaker 1: my brother and I said, this, this final drive before

710
00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:29,360
Speaker 1: halftime is going to set the tone for Josh. You know,

711
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:31,880
Speaker 1: those final two minutes you you have to focus. You

712
00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:33,920
Speaker 1: don't have time to think about the last game or

713
00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:36,560
Speaker 1: the last pass. You have to score and you need

714
00:38:36,640 --> 00:38:39,880
Speaker 1: that touchdown now before halftime, and I think from that

715
00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:43,120
Speaker 1: point on, I think we saw a different Josh Allen.

716
00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:45,840
Speaker 1: I thought it was fantastic on the defensive side. You

717
00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:48,480
Speaker 1: know everyone's talking about Milana. Malana was fantastic as well.

718
00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:51,400
Speaker 1: I also think Player was It was really good to

719
00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:53,280
Speaker 1: have Player back. He made a couple of key plays

720
00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:56,759
Speaker 1: on defense, broke up some passes that were just we're great,

721
00:38:56,920 --> 00:38:58,520
Speaker 1: and frankly, I don't know that that would have happened

722
00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:01,520
Speaker 1: if Player wasn't there. Um. The question I have for

723
00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:07,080
Speaker 1: you guys is on Davis White. Um. You know, I

724
00:39:07,239 --> 00:39:09,560
Speaker 1: get the fact that they're giving him some leeway, and

725
00:39:09,760 --> 00:39:11,560
Speaker 1: I my guess is that some of this is just

726
00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:13,880
Speaker 1: mental right. He just may not be ready and ACL

727
00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:16,680
Speaker 1: as a rough injury to come back from. But at

728
00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:18,640
Speaker 1: what point do you say, like, hey, hey, buddy, like

729
00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:20,520
Speaker 1: I get it, but you know you gotta get out

730
00:39:20,560 --> 00:39:23,160
Speaker 1: there that the team meets you. Um, and you're going

731
00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:25,680
Speaker 1: to make an impact immediately. So I'll hang up and

732
00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:27,640
Speaker 1: listen to what you guys have to say, and I

733
00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:30,560
Speaker 1: appreciate the time. As far as the mental thing with White,

734
00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:34,840
Speaker 1: we'll never know, I mean, who knows how he's feeling.

735
00:39:35,120 --> 00:39:38,640
Speaker 1: But there's gonna be a time when he realizes, um,

736
00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:41,759
Speaker 1: and maybe it's already happened. I'm just saying, maybe he's

737
00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:43,839
Speaker 1: going to realize that he's never gonna feel any better

738
00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:45,319
Speaker 1: than he does right now, you know what I mean,

739
00:39:45,480 --> 00:39:47,319
Speaker 1: when it gets to that point, right he's gonna get

740
00:39:47,320 --> 00:39:48,719
Speaker 1: there anything, you know what, This is why it's going

741
00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:50,200
Speaker 1: to be and if I'm if I'm gonna play, this

742
00:39:50,320 --> 00:39:52,560
Speaker 1: is how it's gonna feel because it is going to

743
00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:55,719
Speaker 1: be different. And it takes wow, a couple of years

744
00:39:55,960 --> 00:40:01,560
Speaker 1: before you forget that it was hurt. And and maybe

745
00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:05,120
Speaker 1: that's where he's at now. I don't know. Certainly he's

746
00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:10,759
Speaker 1: practicing and you know, his knee solid again. I mean

747
00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:12,920
Speaker 1: they you know, they're telling him he's going to be

748
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:16,120
Speaker 1: ready to play. And if it's his call or if

749
00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:20,800
Speaker 1: it's the sports science people or whatever, I do believe

750
00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:26,439
Speaker 1: his return is imminent. I believe it is. We'll see

751
00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:31,200
Speaker 1: when it happens. We'll see, Yeah, we'll see. I know

752
00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:34,759
Speaker 1: that the clamoring to get tradevious back was reaching a

753
00:40:34,840 --> 00:40:37,240
Speaker 1: fevered pitch at the end of the game yesterday because

754
00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:41,880
Speaker 1: Cleveland kind of made the game interesting late and you know,

755
00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:45,040
Speaker 1: their past defense was a little suspect. They got beat

756
00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:47,759
Speaker 1: in the end zone for a couple of touchdowns. And

757
00:40:48,239 --> 00:40:51,520
Speaker 1: I get it. Everybody in their brother in Buffalo that

758
00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:53,759
Speaker 1: roots for this team would like to have Tredevious White

759
00:40:53,760 --> 00:40:55,520
Speaker 1: in the lineup because they know the kind of difference

760
00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:59,240
Speaker 1: that he makes and everybody wants it to happen yesterday.

761
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:06,200
Speaker 1: But it's clear that the team is giving him the

762
00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:11,319
Speaker 1: time that he feels he needs, and as coach said

763
00:41:11,440 --> 00:41:15,000
Speaker 1: last week, it's a team effort and that's how they're

764
00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:18,640
Speaker 1: going to continue to approach this. As badly and as

765
00:41:18,760 --> 00:41:21,759
Speaker 1: desperately as they want him back on the field, they're

766
00:41:21,800 --> 00:41:28,440
Speaker 1: trying to honor that. And yeah, I mean, look, there's

767
00:41:28,560 --> 00:41:32,160
Speaker 1: no question in anyone's mind they are a much better

768
00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:34,960
Speaker 1: pass defense with him in the lineup because he could

769
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:38,000
Speaker 1: shut off one half of the field. Yeah, he's a

770
00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:40,600
Speaker 1: good player, and when he does come back, he got

771
00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:43,480
Speaker 1: to feel like, particularly now that he's been able to

772
00:41:43,560 --> 00:41:45,759
Speaker 1: practice for a couple of weeks and get acclimated to

773
00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:47,759
Speaker 1: the speed and have a training camp kind of length

774
00:41:47,800 --> 00:41:50,280
Speaker 1: of preparation and all that, you kind of feel like, Okay,

775
00:41:50,680 --> 00:41:53,960
Speaker 1: when he does come back, he's going to come back

776
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:56,759
Speaker 1: at a high level. And so you know, whenever that

777
00:41:56,920 --> 00:41:59,160
Speaker 1: happens to be is going to be a huge boost

778
00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:01,719
Speaker 1: for him. Maybe it'll be maybe we'll be until, you know,

779
00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:04,040
Speaker 1: late in the season or even the playoffs. Maybe it'll

780
00:42:04,080 --> 00:42:07,680
Speaker 1: be that long. It was a you know, it's a

781
00:42:07,719 --> 00:42:11,960
Speaker 1: bad tear and it's always a catastrophic injury when it happens,

782
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:13,480
Speaker 1: and it takes a lot of time to get back.

783
00:42:13,520 --> 00:42:15,279
Speaker 1: So we'll see. And when he's back, he's gonna be back,

784
00:42:15,320 --> 00:42:16,719
Speaker 1: and he's gonna be back for good, and it'll be

785
00:42:16,880 --> 00:42:21,040
Speaker 1: it'll be wonderful. So you're right. I'm sure he's impatient

786
00:42:21,120 --> 00:42:23,120
Speaker 1: as well to get to a point where he says, man,

787
00:42:23,160 --> 00:42:28,080
Speaker 1: I feel great, let's go. And when that happens, it'll

788
00:42:28,239 --> 00:42:31,000
Speaker 1: you know, it will he'll come back, but not yet,

789
00:42:31,120 --> 00:42:34,400
Speaker 1: I guess. Yeah, we have to break here. We'll squeeze

790
00:42:34,440 --> 00:42:36,799
Speaker 1: in some more phone calls when we come back. Coming

791
00:42:36,880 --> 00:42:40,719
Speaker 1: up in our number two NFL Networks, Michael Robinson will

792
00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:44,000
Speaker 1: join us to give us his take on Buffalo's victory

793
00:42:44,120 --> 00:42:47,960
Speaker 1: yesterday over the Browns in Detroit. But your phone calls

794
00:42:48,280 --> 00:42:50,720
Speaker 1: coming your way next here on One Bill's Live, presented

795
00:42:50,760 --> 00:42:56,160
Speaker 1: by Kalota Health, It's Buffalo Bill's Radio. All Right, New

796
00:42:56,280 --> 00:43:00,000
Speaker 1: York Lottery's Biggest Gift, presented by the New York Lives

797
00:43:00,280 --> 00:43:04,359
Speaker 1: of all people, get your scratch off tickets now, Holiday Luck,

798
00:43:04,640 --> 00:43:08,560
Speaker 1: Holiday Fun, Holiday one million or Holiday million, I guess

799
00:43:08,680 --> 00:43:11,759
Speaker 1: is what they're calling it. New York Lottery's biggest gift

800
00:43:11,840 --> 00:43:15,879
Speaker 1: in the game yesterday, Steve was Josh Allen's five yard

801
00:43:15,920 --> 00:43:19,560
Speaker 1: touchdown pass just fond Diggs gave the Bills the lead

802
00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:21,719
Speaker 1: for the first time in the game, a lead they

803
00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:24,920
Speaker 1: would not relinquish. The reason I'm calling it a gift, Brownie,

804
00:43:25,120 --> 00:43:28,600
Speaker 1: is because the Browns just let Steph Diggs run by himself.

805
00:43:29,200 --> 00:43:31,560
Speaker 1: You're down close. Is a five yard on the five

806
00:43:31,640 --> 00:43:34,320
Speaker 1: yard line and the number one wide receiver in the game,

807
00:43:34,520 --> 00:43:36,680
Speaker 1: and something is in the lead, one of the top

808
00:43:36,760 --> 00:43:40,200
Speaker 1: guys in the league is uncovered. How do you forget

809
00:43:40,239 --> 00:43:42,840
Speaker 1: about that guy? I don't know, but Josh didn't, and

810
00:43:42,960 --> 00:43:44,239
Speaker 1: he threw it right to the back of the end

811
00:43:44,239 --> 00:43:46,919
Speaker 1: of it. There's nobody there. It was absolutely a gift.

812
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:49,680
Speaker 1: I don't know what they were doing, totally blown coverage.

813
00:43:49,840 --> 00:43:53,239
Speaker 1: Bills take advantage of it, and after stinking to high

814
00:43:53,280 --> 00:43:58,200
Speaker 1: heaven offensively throughout the first half, they have the lead

815
00:43:58,480 --> 00:44:02,120
Speaker 1: at halftime, and they put together as sensational two minute.

816
00:44:02,200 --> 00:44:03,840
Speaker 1: That's one of the things they don't get enough credit for.

817
00:44:04,040 --> 00:44:06,080
Speaker 1: I think when people watch this team a lot, and

818
00:44:06,360 --> 00:44:09,360
Speaker 1: Bills fans know this. At the end of both halves,

819
00:44:10,320 --> 00:44:13,359
Speaker 1: the Bills have been really good offensively when they get

820
00:44:13,800 --> 00:44:17,200
Speaker 1: even even in the Vikings game, when they fumbled and

821
00:44:17,360 --> 00:44:20,160
Speaker 1: botched the snap just to put the game away, give

822
00:44:20,239 --> 00:44:23,200
Speaker 1: up a touchdown to lose the lead, they go down

823
00:44:23,280 --> 00:44:24,960
Speaker 1: in pink pink, pink, Big Bank, and they feel and

824
00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:29,600
Speaker 1: they tie it up. Yeah, they've been unbelievable in moments

825
00:44:29,680 --> 00:44:32,960
Speaker 1: like that, and not for nothing. Back in the day

826
00:44:33,040 --> 00:44:36,640
Speaker 1: and old Bills fans like me will remember, that's how

827
00:44:36,719 --> 00:44:39,000
Speaker 1: the k gun came to be. Listen, we're so good

828
00:44:39,040 --> 00:44:43,480
Speaker 1: at that, let's just do it. And it was a

829
00:44:43,560 --> 00:44:46,520
Speaker 1: step that defenses had a hard time catching up with mentally,

830
00:44:47,160 --> 00:44:49,759
Speaker 1: and the build we ran with that to you know,

831
00:44:50,239 --> 00:44:52,160
Speaker 1: for a large part of four Super Bowl runs. So

832
00:44:53,320 --> 00:44:55,480
Speaker 1: that kind of offense is hard to defend when you're

833
00:44:55,520 --> 00:44:57,719
Speaker 1: not right on top of it. That's the biggest gift

834
00:44:57,840 --> 00:45:01,160
Speaker 1: presented by the New York Lot read you know, I'm

835
00:45:01,320 --> 00:45:04,520
Speaker 1: reminded of our caller Chris in the comment he made

836
00:45:05,040 --> 00:45:09,279
Speaker 1: about the approach of the team, and I think there

837
00:45:09,440 --> 00:45:13,360
Speaker 1: was an element of truth to this. They were trying

838
00:45:13,480 --> 00:45:16,560
Speaker 1: to win the game in a way where Josh did

839
00:45:16,640 --> 00:45:18,800
Speaker 1: not feel like the weight of the world was on

840
00:45:18,880 --> 00:45:22,439
Speaker 1: his shoulders. It's almost like they wanted to show Josh, hey,

841
00:45:23,280 --> 00:45:26,640
Speaker 1: this team is good enough to win in different ways

842
00:45:26,880 --> 00:45:28,960
Speaker 1: where it doesn't have to be you throwing for three

843
00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:32,279
Speaker 1: to fifty and running for another eighty every single week.

844
00:45:32,680 --> 00:45:35,120
Speaker 1: We can run the football, we have one of the

845
00:45:35,160 --> 00:45:40,239
Speaker 1: best kickers in the league, and it doesn't all always

846
00:45:40,520 --> 00:45:43,720
Speaker 1: have to be on you to do everything. And hopefully

847
00:45:43,800 --> 00:45:47,360
Speaker 1: it serves notice to him, hey man, you can just

848
00:45:47,600 --> 00:45:52,400
Speaker 1: play and we should be fine in most cases. Granted

849
00:45:52,440 --> 00:45:54,359
Speaker 1: you're playing a three and six football team. I get

850
00:45:54,400 --> 00:45:57,600
Speaker 1: all that, and a backup quarterback to boot, but I

851
00:45:57,760 --> 00:46:01,920
Speaker 1: keep thinking back to the end of last season when

852
00:46:01,960 --> 00:46:03,960
Speaker 1: they were in Kansas City and Josh comes out after

853
00:46:04,600 --> 00:46:07,680
Speaker 1: just pouring it on the Chiefs and what turned out

854
00:46:07,680 --> 00:46:10,560
Speaker 1: into ultimately a loss. The way they were playing. They

855
00:46:10,640 --> 00:46:13,560
Speaker 1: had the absolute perfect game against the New England Patriots

856
00:46:13,600 --> 00:46:16,320
Speaker 1: in the Divisional round, remember that, and they or in

857
00:46:16,400 --> 00:46:21,480
Speaker 1: the wildcard round. They never took one a negative play

858
00:46:21,560 --> 00:46:25,560
Speaker 1: until a kneel down. They scored on every a touchdown,

859
00:46:25,600 --> 00:46:28,920
Speaker 1: on every possession, They never punted. I mean, it was

860
00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:31,080
Speaker 1: that kind of game. And then they go into Kansas

861
00:46:31,120 --> 00:46:33,959
Speaker 1: City and do what they did in that game as well.

862
00:46:35,160 --> 00:46:38,280
Speaker 1: And he kept saying at that point that he felt

863
00:46:38,360 --> 00:46:40,800
Speaker 1: just as calm as he could be, just just fluid

864
00:46:40,840 --> 00:46:43,759
Speaker 1: and calm, just in control and never up, never down.

865
00:46:44,600 --> 00:46:47,919
Speaker 1: And I'm kind of thinking I wish somebody would remind

866
00:46:48,040 --> 00:46:50,040
Speaker 1: him of that, you know, to try and find that spot.

867
00:46:50,160 --> 00:46:53,360
Speaker 1: Maybe the performance with other guys chipping in in a

868
00:46:53,400 --> 00:46:56,040
Speaker 1: big way where he throws for less than two hundred

869
00:46:56,120 --> 00:46:59,000
Speaker 1: yards convinces him that, oh, you know what, I do

870
00:46:59,080 --> 00:47:00,960
Speaker 1: have a pretty good crew around me. It doesn't always

871
00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:02,600
Speaker 1: have to be up to me. We were talking in

872
00:47:02,680 --> 00:47:05,319
Speaker 1: the break. Jacoby Brissette had three twenty four and three

873
00:47:05,360 --> 00:47:08,360
Speaker 1: touchdown passes and you said it, You're right. They should

874
00:47:08,360 --> 00:47:10,640
Speaker 1: have thrown the ball more. Yeah, they you know, their

875
00:47:10,760 --> 00:47:12,880
Speaker 1: run game was such a part of their offense and

876
00:47:12,960 --> 00:47:15,320
Speaker 1: they got caught up doing it. They got a quarterback

877
00:47:15,400 --> 00:47:18,080
Speaker 1: that really was lightening it up, and our defensive backfield

878
00:47:18,120 --> 00:47:21,279
Speaker 1: we got we got like three starters out. Yeah, and

879
00:47:22,160 --> 00:47:25,200
Speaker 1: they just ran the football. It was and to me,

880
00:47:25,560 --> 00:47:28,360
Speaker 1: not very well and not very not good enough obviously,

881
00:47:28,560 --> 00:47:31,480
Speaker 1: and we haven't mentioned this, but and we will you

882
00:47:31,560 --> 00:47:33,879
Speaker 1: know when we get Michael Robinson on in the next hour.

883
00:47:34,920 --> 00:47:38,239
Speaker 1: The run defense was outstanding yesterday. Yeah, it really was.

884
00:47:38,360 --> 00:47:41,160
Speaker 1: The defensive front really won the battle of line of

885
00:47:41,160 --> 00:47:43,680
Speaker 1: scrimmage in a giant way. Yesterday. The Browns ran the

886
00:47:43,760 --> 00:47:49,839
Speaker 1: ball deliberately well twenty one times, no, twenty six times,

887
00:47:49,880 --> 00:47:53,160
Speaker 1: and seven of them were from Jacoby Brissette. He had

888
00:47:53,200 --> 00:47:56,320
Speaker 1: a long of twenty two. But at the seven of Brissette,

889
00:47:57,120 --> 00:48:00,960
Speaker 1: we're probably scrambles, I don't They never called his number quarterbacks.

890
00:48:01,000 --> 00:48:03,879
Speaker 1: And the two sneaks two swere which were yeah, which

891
00:48:03,880 --> 00:48:07,160
Speaker 1: were yeah. So he ran it five times. That's twenty

892
00:48:07,239 --> 00:48:09,560
Speaker 1: four times they ran the ball. It's almost too many, Yeah,

893
00:48:10,560 --> 00:48:13,600
Speaker 1: almost too many. And Nick Chubb Chub had fourteen rushes

894
00:48:13,640 --> 00:48:15,840
Speaker 1: for nineteen yards. Now, he had some big runs, but

895
00:48:16,160 --> 00:48:18,760
Speaker 1: five of his carries went for six of his carries

896
00:48:18,800 --> 00:48:20,960
Speaker 1: went for no gain or negative yardage. Yeah, he had

897
00:48:21,040 --> 00:48:23,800
Speaker 1: long and twelve That is the lowest yardage total for

898
00:48:23,920 --> 00:48:26,480
Speaker 1: him in any game in his career with ten carries

899
00:48:26,560 --> 00:48:29,560
Speaker 1: or more. So, it was a fantastic effort by the

900
00:48:29,640 --> 00:48:32,600
Speaker 1: d line. Let's squeeze in a quick call with Mike

901
00:48:32,719 --> 00:48:37,120
Speaker 1: in Williamsville, Mike wigof You're on one Bills Live, Hie.

902
00:48:37,200 --> 00:48:40,160
Speaker 1: I was looking at the red zone touchdown efficiencies in

903
00:48:40,239 --> 00:48:43,600
Speaker 1: the league and the top three were Cincinnati, Tennessee, and

904
00:48:43,760 --> 00:48:45,799
Speaker 1: Kansas City, and the Bills were all the way down

905
00:48:45,840 --> 00:48:47,840
Speaker 1: to twenty three. And I just wanted to see what

906
00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:51,560
Speaker 1: your guys take is as to why the red zones

907
00:48:51,640 --> 00:48:55,600
Speaker 1: and so poor for us this year. Turnovers, yea, turnovers.

908
00:48:55,760 --> 00:48:59,719
Speaker 1: That's the reason. Six of Josh's last eight turnovers have

909
00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:01,640
Speaker 1: been in the red zone. So you're not even getting

910
00:49:01,680 --> 00:49:04,080
Speaker 1: field goals when you're down there, you're giving the ball

911
00:49:04,120 --> 00:49:05,920
Speaker 1: to the other team and you're coming away with nothing.

912
00:49:06,320 --> 00:49:09,560
Speaker 1: That is the biggest inhibitor for Buffalo's red zone troubles

913
00:49:09,600 --> 00:49:11,399
Speaker 1: this season. I would like to know too. I think

914
00:49:11,480 --> 00:49:14,160
Speaker 1: the Bills they were like this and other times when

915
00:49:14,360 --> 00:49:17,480
Speaker 1: Josh has been their quarterback earlier in his career, they

916
00:49:17,560 --> 00:49:20,040
Speaker 1: were really at the top of the league at red

917
00:49:20,160 --> 00:49:23,359
Speaker 1: zone opportunities. But like we're saying, because of turnovers and whatever,

918
00:49:23,400 --> 00:49:26,319
Speaker 1: they weren't that good percentage wise. I wonder if they've

919
00:49:26,400 --> 00:49:29,239
Speaker 1: dropped off in their opportunity number of opportunities they had

920
00:49:29,920 --> 00:49:33,640
Speaker 1: five yesterday. They are at the top of the league

921
00:49:33,719 --> 00:49:37,840
Speaker 1: in red zone possessions, they have thirty nine, so they're

922
00:49:38,239 --> 00:49:40,520
Speaker 1: down there a ton. Yeah, they're just not cashing in

923
00:49:40,719 --> 00:49:44,200
Speaker 1: nearly enough. And there are times where it looks very easy,

924
00:49:44,400 --> 00:49:47,440
Speaker 1: like the drive where Devin Singletary waltz is into the

925
00:49:47,520 --> 00:49:49,640
Speaker 1: end zone. That red zone possession looked like a piece

926
00:49:49,680 --> 00:49:51,880
Speaker 1: of cake. And then there's other times where you're scratching

927
00:49:51,960 --> 00:49:54,000
Speaker 1: your head, going, what the heck happened on that series? Right?

928
00:49:54,680 --> 00:49:56,480
Speaker 1: What are they kicking a field goal for? Again? What's

929
00:49:56,520 --> 00:50:01,759
Speaker 1: the deal? Two or five yesterday with no turnovers. So

930
00:50:01,960 --> 00:50:04,600
Speaker 1: you're saying, I understand why people are concerned, and you

931
00:50:04,680 --> 00:50:06,239
Speaker 1: have a right to be concerned, because if you want

932
00:50:06,239 --> 00:50:07,719
Speaker 1: to get to the playoff, you want to beat the

933
00:50:07,760 --> 00:50:10,319
Speaker 1: playoff teams that do cash in in the red zone.

934
00:50:11,160 --> 00:50:13,120
Speaker 1: It's got to get better. I'll say this as well.

935
00:50:14,200 --> 00:50:18,480
Speaker 1: I thought a couple of times yesterday twice anyway, that

936
00:50:18,600 --> 00:50:21,239
Speaker 1: the Bills under a tight game, in a game where

937
00:50:21,280 --> 00:50:24,040
Speaker 1: there was like dicey, they go for a couple of

938
00:50:24,080 --> 00:50:25,960
Speaker 1: those instead of kicking field goals. Might have been a

939
00:50:25,960 --> 00:50:29,080
Speaker 1: little less aggressive yesterday. Let's just take the points. Yeah,

940
00:50:29,120 --> 00:50:33,760
Speaker 1: they were less aggressive yesterday because the Browns they weren't

941
00:50:33,800 --> 00:50:37,400
Speaker 1: doing anything offensively. They had them bottled up. So and

942
00:50:37,520 --> 00:50:41,680
Speaker 1: when you're when you're up twenty two to ten and

943
00:50:42,040 --> 00:50:44,440
Speaker 1: you're still scoring, and you're still and you're moving the

944
00:50:44,480 --> 00:50:48,000
Speaker 1: football and they're struggling, it's like, you know what, take

945
00:50:48,080 --> 00:50:49,600
Speaker 1: our three and we're gonna take our three and we're

946
00:50:49,600 --> 00:50:51,520
Speaker 1: gonna move on. Put make it, you know, make them

947
00:50:51,600 --> 00:50:54,319
Speaker 1: score with three possessions rather than two. So I think

948
00:50:54,360 --> 00:50:57,439
Speaker 1: there's a little bit of that going on. They would

949
00:50:57,440 --> 00:51:00,120
Speaker 1: give them a chance. But still everybody else's numbers are

950
00:51:00,160 --> 00:51:01,680
Speaker 1: the same as the Bills. You know, they're doing it

951
00:51:01,760 --> 00:51:04,479
Speaker 1: on third down. Probably some of them go four on fourth,

952
00:51:04,640 --> 00:51:06,799
Speaker 1: but you know, and the Bills struggled on third down too.

953
00:51:06,800 --> 00:51:08,640
Speaker 1: There were three of eleven on conversions. That's got to

954
00:51:08,680 --> 00:51:10,840
Speaker 1: be better. So, as the players said themselves, there's a

955
00:51:10,840 --> 00:51:14,160
Speaker 1: lot to clean up there. But you didn't play your

956
00:51:14,200 --> 00:51:16,000
Speaker 1: best football and you still have thirty one points on

957
00:51:16,040 --> 00:51:17,719
Speaker 1: the board most of the most of the time, that's

958
00:51:17,760 --> 00:51:19,120
Speaker 1: gonna get you a victory. All Right, We've got to

959
00:51:19,160 --> 00:51:21,400
Speaker 1: take a break here, because when we come up next

960

00:52:28,920 --> 00:52:33,440
Speaker 1: of Bill's Mafia One. Michael Robinson, Real Mike rob Welcome,

970
00:52:34,520 --> 00:52:37,800
Speaker 1: what's up, guys, what's up? Happy victory Monday to you

971
00:52:37,920 --> 00:52:41,520
Speaker 1: guys as well, and guys we random football. Oh, the

972
00:52:41,680 --> 00:52:44,400
Speaker 1: running back in me is very excited. Absolutely Yeah, that

973
00:52:44,760 --> 00:52:47,160
Speaker 1: that did seem to be um. We knew the Browns

974
00:52:47,200 --> 00:52:51,520
Speaker 1: were struggling against the run, but we didn't know if

975
00:52:51,680 --> 00:52:54,360
Speaker 1: we had the juice to take advantage of it, and

976
00:52:54,480 --> 00:52:57,760
Speaker 1: certainly we did. Both James Cook Devin Singletary both getting

977
00:52:57,800 --> 00:53:00,480
Speaker 1: eighty six yards on the ground. Josh All, his number

978
00:53:00,520 --> 00:53:02,560
Speaker 1: wasn't called. He wasn't even a factor really in that

979
00:53:02,719 --> 00:53:05,960
Speaker 1: run game. Not very many quarterback called runs. It was

980
00:53:06,040 --> 00:53:08,480
Speaker 1: just old fashioned. They went up in between the tackles

981
00:53:08,480 --> 00:53:11,640
Speaker 1: a lot of the times. So I guess maybe it's

982
00:53:11,680 --> 00:53:13,960
Speaker 1: on the menu now that the Bills can take advantage

983
00:53:13,960 --> 00:53:16,000
Speaker 1: of it. If you don't, if you don't bring the

984
00:53:16,080 --> 00:53:20,480
Speaker 1: stuff in the run defense, absolutely, and I thought, especially

985
00:53:20,760 --> 00:53:24,480
Speaker 1: you know, Roger Saffold and Dion Dawkins, those guys on

986
00:53:24,560 --> 00:53:27,920
Speaker 1: that left side, those double teams man were critical. They

987
00:53:28,040 --> 00:53:30,719
Speaker 1: got to the second level and they gave you know,

988
00:53:30,880 --> 00:53:34,200
Speaker 1: Devin White and James James Cook some space to operate.

989
00:53:34,239 --> 00:53:37,280
Speaker 1: I thought James Cook also does well taking the football

990
00:53:37,360 --> 00:53:40,239
Speaker 1: on the outside. Again, just his linear's shape and his

991
00:53:40,400 --> 00:53:42,800
Speaker 1: body didn't have many hips, so tacklers seem to just

992
00:53:43,280 --> 00:53:45,560
Speaker 1: kind of slug off of him. But I think just

993
00:53:45,680 --> 00:53:48,359
Speaker 1: seeing the fact that this team ran the b off

994
00:53:48,400 --> 00:53:51,080
Speaker 1: a one hundred and seventy one yards, they moved the

995
00:53:51,160 --> 00:53:54,759
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage and they stopped the Cleveland Browns, who

996
00:53:54,800 --> 00:53:56,400
Speaker 1: I thought were one of the one of the top

997
00:53:56,520 --> 00:53:59,200
Speaker 1: running teams in the National Football League. They stopped that

998
00:53:59,360 --> 00:54:01,800
Speaker 1: rushing attack. So again, controlling the line of scrimmage is

999
00:54:01,840 --> 00:54:04,200
Speaker 1: something that I know is important to Sean McDermott, and

1000
00:54:04,280 --> 00:54:07,000
Speaker 1: they did a great job of this yesterday. Yeah, I

1001
00:54:07,120 --> 00:54:09,000
Speaker 1: was talking to James Cook in the locker room after

1002
00:54:09,080 --> 00:54:11,560
Speaker 1: the game, and he's kind of a quiet, as kept guy,

1003
00:54:12,280 --> 00:54:14,680
Speaker 1: and I kind of looked at him and I said,

1004
00:54:15,040 --> 00:54:17,880
Speaker 1: he almost had that one, and he's like, man, that

1005
00:54:18,000 --> 00:54:21,680
Speaker 1: should have gone for seventy three. He was a shoe

1006
00:54:21,719 --> 00:54:25,560
Speaker 1: string tackle away from, you know, a seventy plus yard touchdown.

1007
00:54:26,040 --> 00:54:28,560
Speaker 1: It ends up only going for twenty nine, but that

1008
00:54:28,719 --> 00:54:31,600
Speaker 1: ends up being the longest play from scrimmage for the

1009
00:54:31,680 --> 00:54:36,359
Speaker 1: Bills in the entire football game. He got the most

1010
00:54:36,480 --> 00:54:39,719
Speaker 1: carries he's had. He tied for the most carries he's

1011
00:54:39,760 --> 00:54:43,000
Speaker 1: had all season, except this time, instead of garbage time

1012
00:54:43,160 --> 00:54:46,560
Speaker 1: against Pittsburgh going for fifty three yards, he goes for

1013
00:54:46,719 --> 00:54:51,680
Speaker 1: eighty six on eleven carries. I'm kind of pounding the

1014
00:54:51,719 --> 00:54:54,320
Speaker 1: table a while for this, but he's got to be

1015
00:54:54,440 --> 00:54:59,799
Speaker 1: in the game that much, if not more, going forward. Yeah,

1016
00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:02,480
Speaker 1: I mean, and I think the early part of the

1017
00:55:02,560 --> 00:55:05,080
Speaker 1: season was just the team kind of figuring out the

1018
00:55:05,200 --> 00:55:08,080
Speaker 1: exact role for him. But it's just that, you know,

1019
00:55:08,120 --> 00:55:10,719
Speaker 1: we don't run the ball as much, so that the

1020
00:55:10,800 --> 00:55:13,560
Speaker 1: opportunities just aren't going to be there. And I've said

1021
00:55:13,560 --> 00:55:17,120
Speaker 1: it before on this show, Devin Singletary, in my opinion,

1022
00:55:17,320 --> 00:55:20,440
Speaker 1: is the glue to this offense. He just does so much,

1023
00:55:20,520 --> 00:55:22,560
Speaker 1: whether it's the dirty three yards to get the first

1024
00:55:22,640 --> 00:55:24,839
Speaker 1: down or just to check down pass that he ends

1025
00:55:24,920 --> 00:55:27,239
Speaker 1: up getting twelve yards to getting the first down and

1026
00:55:27,400 --> 00:55:30,120
Speaker 1: bailing the offense out. So both of these running backs

1027
00:55:30,160 --> 00:55:32,000
Speaker 1: are very critical to the success of his offense, and

1028
00:55:32,040 --> 00:55:33,960
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to find a defined role for both

1029
00:55:34,000 --> 00:55:36,160
Speaker 1: of these guys. But again, just to see the line

1030
00:55:36,200 --> 00:55:39,080
Speaker 1: of scrimmage move, to me, that was something that was

1031
00:55:39,480 --> 00:55:42,640
Speaker 1: huge for our Bill's offense. And then when you look

1032
00:55:42,640 --> 00:55:45,120
Speaker 1: at Josh Allen's final numbers eighteen for twenty seven, one

1033
00:55:45,160 --> 00:55:47,719
Speaker 1: hundred and ninety seven yards and just a touchdown. I

1034
00:55:47,880 --> 00:55:50,320
Speaker 1: looked at that as a very successful day because it

1035
00:55:50,480 --> 00:55:52,239
Speaker 1: ad meant that he checked the football hall down and

1036
00:55:52,320 --> 00:55:54,840
Speaker 1: meant he didn't try to force the ball in the windows.

1037
00:55:54,880 --> 00:55:57,480
Speaker 1: And I know people saw Stefan, you know, kind of

1038
00:55:57,520 --> 00:56:00,279
Speaker 1: having some issues and you know, Sean McDermot having to

1039
00:56:00,320 --> 00:56:02,160
Speaker 1: talk to them, kind of calming them down a little bit.

1040
00:56:02,640 --> 00:56:05,920
Speaker 1: To me, that was indicative of Josh Allen just taking

1041
00:56:06,040 --> 00:56:08,880
Speaker 1: whatever the defense gives you and if they can do that,

1042
00:56:09,040 --> 00:56:10,680
Speaker 1: I think again this team will be in a better

1043
00:56:10,760 --> 00:56:13,359
Speaker 1: situation at the end of games to close games out.

1044
00:56:13,840 --> 00:56:16,080
Speaker 1: You mentioned it, and when we brought up the running

1045
00:56:16,160 --> 00:56:19,080
Speaker 1: game about the ability to run to the edges and

1046
00:56:19,200 --> 00:56:22,800
Speaker 1: James Cook's ability to get around the corner, Devin Singletary

1047
00:56:22,880 --> 00:56:24,520
Speaker 1: did a little bit of that. But James Cook with

1048
00:56:24,600 --> 00:56:29,840
Speaker 1: his explosion, it seemed to work better yesterday. Why yesterday?

1049
00:56:30,480 --> 00:56:32,120
Speaker 1: When not only did they run to the edge with

1050
00:56:32,280 --> 00:56:34,200
Speaker 1: James Cook as we saw in a couple of those highlights,

1051
00:56:34,280 --> 00:56:36,120
Speaker 1: but also they ran up inside with a pin and

1052
00:56:36,200 --> 00:56:38,719
Speaker 1: pull in the trap blocks. Yes, they did a lot

1053
00:56:38,800 --> 00:56:42,759
Speaker 1: of you know stuff in the offensive line that gave

1054
00:56:42,840 --> 00:56:45,360
Speaker 1: him some seams up inside. Why yesterday? And I know

1055
00:56:45,600 --> 00:56:47,520
Speaker 1: someone had to do with the Browns, but you know

1056
00:56:47,840 --> 00:56:52,279
Speaker 1: what they do yesterday differently offensively? Well again, when you

1057
00:56:52,360 --> 00:56:54,279
Speaker 1: look at the Cleveland Browns, and I'll just talk about

1058
00:56:54,320 --> 00:56:56,680
Speaker 1: them for a second, to me the reason why they

1059
00:56:56,719 --> 00:56:58,680
Speaker 1: were able to run the ball so effectively. First of all,

1060
00:56:58,719 --> 00:57:01,239
Speaker 1: a lot of their defensive linemen they like to rush

1061
00:57:01,280 --> 00:57:03,000
Speaker 1: the passer. They don't want to play the run. You

1062
00:57:03,080 --> 00:57:05,080
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. Miles Good He's a threat every

1063
00:57:05,120 --> 00:57:06,840
Speaker 1: single time he's on the football field. But a lot

1064
00:57:06,880 --> 00:57:09,200
Speaker 1: of those of other defensive linemen they don't want to

1065
00:57:09,200 --> 00:57:11,759
Speaker 1: play the run and get dirty like that. And then

1066
00:57:11,800 --> 00:57:14,000
Speaker 1: when I look at their their linebackers, right, you know,

1067
00:57:14,400 --> 00:57:17,280
Speaker 1: Jeremiah Usu kor Moore, he's a smaller guy, you know

1068
00:57:17,360 --> 00:57:22,800
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Takasi Taki, Taki, He's a smaller guy.

1069
00:57:22,920 --> 00:57:25,120
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. And so the ability for

1070
00:57:25,320 --> 00:57:27,440
Speaker 1: offensive linemen to get up on those guys, to me,

1071
00:57:27,680 --> 00:57:29,560
Speaker 1: that was the difference in the run game. That was

1072
00:57:29,640 --> 00:57:32,000
Speaker 1: why the offensive line, that was why the line of

1073
00:57:32,000 --> 00:57:34,400
Speaker 1: scrimmage was moving so much yesterday. Yeah, and there's no

1074
00:57:34,480 --> 00:57:36,960
Speaker 1: reason to think it wouldn't continue this coming week against

1075
00:57:36,960 --> 00:57:39,680
Speaker 1: the Troy, the team that can't stop anybody run or pass.

1076
00:57:40,080 --> 00:57:42,080
Speaker 1: They're thirty first in the league against the run, and

1077
00:57:42,240 --> 00:57:45,400
Speaker 1: people just seem to run over them. So more of that, please?

1078
00:57:46,400 --> 00:57:49,600
Speaker 1: What do you think of this theory, Mike? Obviously, the

1079
00:57:49,680 --> 00:57:52,800
Speaker 1: Bills are coming off a very trying week. Wednesday, they

1080
00:57:52,840 --> 00:57:55,360
Speaker 1: can't even have team segments of practice because five guys

1081
00:57:55,400 --> 00:57:58,160
Speaker 1: are out sick. They got another half dozen out with injury.

1082
00:57:58,480 --> 00:58:00,960
Speaker 1: They only do an individual position drills on Wednesday, they

1083
00:58:01,000 --> 00:58:04,040
Speaker 1: get a regular practice in Thursday, but then practice is

1084
00:58:04,080 --> 00:58:07,160
Speaker 1: canceled on Friday. I think that kind of explains the

1085
00:58:07,240 --> 00:58:11,760
Speaker 1: slow start number one, but number two from a psychological standpoint,

1086
00:58:12,720 --> 00:58:16,080
Speaker 1: Josh Allen was supremely frustrated with himself after these last

1087
00:58:16,120 --> 00:58:19,840
Speaker 1: two games, and the Bills came out on Sunday and

1088
00:58:20,080 --> 00:58:23,760
Speaker 1: won in a much different fashion than they had been previously.

1089
00:58:24,520 --> 00:58:30,120
Speaker 1: How much does that help Josh Allen's mental psyche in believing, Hey,

1090
00:58:30,240 --> 00:58:34,000
Speaker 1: you know what, it's not all on me every week

1091
00:58:34,120 --> 00:58:37,640
Speaker 1: to do everything for us to win a football game.

1092
00:58:37,880 --> 00:58:41,160
Speaker 1: How far does that go for Josh Allen's mental psyche?

1093
00:58:41,280 --> 00:58:45,520
Speaker 1: The way they won yesterday, it goes a whole. It

1094
00:58:45,680 --> 00:58:48,919
Speaker 1: goes twenty thirty miles. Man, it goes a long way.

1095
00:58:49,160 --> 00:58:51,120
Speaker 1: I mean, if I was Ken Dorsey after this game,

1096
00:58:51,360 --> 00:58:54,360
Speaker 1: the first thing I would have said to Josh Allen is, see,

1097
00:58:55,080 --> 00:58:58,520
Speaker 1: you don't have to do it yourself. See we got guys.

1098
00:58:58,960 --> 00:59:00,800
Speaker 1: And to me, that's why the Buffalo Bills out of

1099
00:59:00,800 --> 00:59:04,720
Speaker 1: a front runner. When you can when a defense can

1100
00:59:04,800 --> 00:59:07,560
Speaker 1: present something to your team can present something to you,

1101
00:59:07,680 --> 00:59:11,240
Speaker 1: and you can play any game that team presents. If

1102
00:59:11,280 --> 00:59:13,600
Speaker 1: it's a throwing game where you know, it's a bunch

1103
00:59:13,600 --> 00:59:16,000
Speaker 1: of different coverages that have to be used. We have

1104
00:59:16,120 --> 00:59:17,840
Speaker 1: the depth, we have the players, we have the pass

1105
00:59:17,880 --> 00:59:19,440
Speaker 1: for us to be able to defend against that. If

1106
00:59:19,440 --> 00:59:21,480
Speaker 1: it's a team that wants to run the football, you

1107
00:59:21,560 --> 00:59:24,560
Speaker 1: got big at Oliver and those guys splitting double teams yesterday.

1108
00:59:24,640 --> 00:59:27,560
Speaker 1: I mean Oliver was pumped up, and I know he

1109
00:59:27,680 --> 00:59:29,800
Speaker 1: was pumped up because the first player of the game

1110
00:59:29,960 --> 00:59:31,720
Speaker 1: he kind of got kind of slunk down, you know

1111
00:59:31,800 --> 00:59:34,439
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. And then after that she started wearing

1112
00:59:34,480 --> 00:59:37,440
Speaker 1: the interior of the Cleveland Browns out right, you know

1113
00:59:37,480 --> 00:59:40,479
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So you can play any any game

1114
00:59:40,560 --> 00:59:43,240
Speaker 1: that an offense presents, and then offensively, Josh can throw

1115
00:59:43,280 --> 00:59:46,480
Speaker 1: it as we've seen him throw this team the wins.

1116
00:59:46,640 --> 00:59:48,880
Speaker 1: And then to me, yesterday it was the offensive line,

1117
00:59:48,920 --> 00:59:50,960
Speaker 1: it was the running backs, it was the line of scrimmage,

1118
00:59:51,000 --> 00:59:53,040
Speaker 1: and then stopping the other team from running the football

1119
00:59:53,360 --> 00:59:55,600
Speaker 1: that won the football game for you. So if I'm

1120
00:59:55,680 --> 00:59:58,880
Speaker 1: Josh Shaller, absolutely I'm sitting back saying, Okay, maybe I

1121
00:59:59,040 --> 01:00:02,400
Speaker 1: don't have to always being a superman type of a

1122
01:00:02,520 --> 01:00:05,320
Speaker 1: role and try to always put so much on myself.

1123
01:00:05,400 --> 01:00:07,680
Speaker 1: Sometimes maybe we can put play the field position game

1124
01:00:07,920 --> 01:00:09,840
Speaker 1: and at the end of the game, we'll figure out

1125
01:00:09,880 --> 01:00:11,720
Speaker 1: a way where I could use my special powers to

1126
01:00:11,760 --> 01:00:14,520
Speaker 1: be special. Did you ever get a chance to play

1127
01:00:14,560 --> 01:00:17,120
Speaker 1: on Thanksgiving? I know every team now plays on Thursday

1128
01:00:17,160 --> 01:00:21,720
Speaker 1: at some point, but Thanksgiving at twelve thirty, it's pretty quick.

1129
01:00:22,640 --> 01:00:25,040
Speaker 1: That's tough. That's stuff. I don't even lie to you, man,

1130
01:00:25,160 --> 01:00:28,040
Speaker 1: I don't even know how the You know, the game

1131
01:00:28,120 --> 01:00:30,440
Speaker 1: plan can't change, but so much because again, I mean,

1132
01:00:30,680 --> 01:00:33,040
Speaker 1: you guys had to travel back from Detroit. You know,

1133
01:00:33,080 --> 01:00:35,120
Speaker 1: you're dealing with family coming into It's just a lot

1134
01:00:35,320 --> 01:00:38,800
Speaker 1: going on and you got to travel back, so it's

1135
01:00:38,800 --> 01:00:40,360
Speaker 1: a lot. It's going to come up on you quick.

1136
01:00:40,680 --> 01:00:42,720
Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, this is where

1137
01:00:42,760 --> 01:00:47,120
Speaker 1: Brandon Bean comes in. Right. The roster is that is

1138
01:00:47,160 --> 01:00:50,000
Speaker 1: that good? The depth is that good, The chemistry, the

1139
01:00:50,640 --> 01:00:54,000
Speaker 1: fact that these guys have played together has been that good,

1140
01:00:54,080 --> 01:00:56,280
Speaker 1: and so to me, that is what needs to kick

1141
01:00:56,360 --> 01:00:59,360
Speaker 1: in and that'll get us a w You touched on it, Mike.

1142
01:00:59,720 --> 01:01:03,800
Speaker 1: The defensive front ed Oliver, as you said, was a

1143
01:01:03,920 --> 01:01:07,520
Speaker 1: beast three tackles for a loss on Nick Chubb alone.

1144
01:01:08,360 --> 01:01:11,480
Speaker 1: Matt Mlano had two, including the big one on the

1145
01:01:11,560 --> 01:01:13,640
Speaker 1: direct snap in the red zone, drops him for a

1146
01:01:13,680 --> 01:01:16,320
Speaker 1: six yard loss. The Browns ends up settling for a

1147
01:01:16,480 --> 01:01:22,880
Speaker 1: field goal. There, I mean Jordan Phillips, Tim Settle. All

1148
01:01:22,960 --> 01:01:27,160
Speaker 1: these guys were getting involved in. You know, the focal

1149
01:01:27,240 --> 01:01:29,840
Speaker 1: point was Nick Chubb and they shut him down nineteen

1150
01:01:29,960 --> 01:01:33,880
Speaker 1: yards on fourteen carries. It's his lowest rushing total in

1151
01:01:34,040 --> 01:01:36,560
Speaker 1: his career in any game in which he has had

1152
01:01:36,640 --> 01:01:40,560
Speaker 1: ten carries or more. What impressed you most about that

1153
01:01:40,760 --> 01:01:46,360
Speaker 1: defensive front in neutralizing Chubb The ability of Ed Oliver,

1154
01:01:46,880 --> 01:01:49,800
Speaker 1: Daquan Jones and in company some subtle all of those

1155
01:01:49,840 --> 01:01:53,320
Speaker 1: guys to split double teams right when the ball is

1156
01:01:53,360 --> 01:01:56,600
Speaker 1: coming directly at him, and then that outside zone to

1157
01:01:56,800 --> 01:02:00,840
Speaker 1: kind of use the offensive linemen to shut off the

1158
01:02:00,960 --> 01:02:04,040
Speaker 1: gap in front of them and still have the wherewithal

1159
01:02:04,160 --> 01:02:06,600
Speaker 1: and playmaking ability to be able to make the tackle.

1160
01:02:06,680 --> 01:02:08,640
Speaker 1: If you guys understand what I'm saying, Like a lot

1161
01:02:08,720 --> 01:02:11,480
Speaker 1: of defensive linemen, they can beat up an offensive lineman,

1162
01:02:11,800 --> 01:02:14,760
Speaker 1: but they don't always still make the tackle, or they

1163
01:02:14,840 --> 01:02:17,720
Speaker 1: can jack up an offensive lineman or make it, you know,

1164
01:02:18,120 --> 01:02:20,720
Speaker 1: hold up multiple offensive lineman to allow the run to

1165
01:02:20,760 --> 01:02:23,520
Speaker 1: to allow the linebackers to go running hit, but they

1166
01:02:23,560 --> 01:02:27,080
Speaker 1: don't make the tackle. I mean, Oliver tim suttle those guys, man.

1167
01:02:27,120 --> 01:02:30,440
Speaker 1: I mean, these are playmakers at the point of attack,

1168
01:02:30,520 --> 01:02:33,040
Speaker 1: playmakers at the line of scrimmage. And when you have

1169
01:02:33,240 --> 01:02:35,800
Speaker 1: guys like that, man, it makes running the football very tough.

1170
01:02:36,160 --> 01:02:39,800
Speaker 1: You talk about Nick Chubb fourteen carries nineteen yards. Hell,

1171
01:02:39,960 --> 01:02:43,240
Speaker 1: his longest carry was twelve yards. I mean, so the

1172
01:02:43,360 --> 01:02:46,320
Speaker 1: rest of his carries didn't net much. So at the

1173
01:02:46,400 --> 01:02:50,439
Speaker 1: end of the day, this defense and especially that defensive front,

1174
01:02:50,520 --> 01:02:54,800
Speaker 1: defensive line, they showed up. I was talking to Jordan

1175
01:02:54,840 --> 01:02:57,880
Speaker 1: Phillips in the locker room after the game, and he says,

1176
01:02:58,880 --> 01:03:01,000
Speaker 1: y'all need to start talking about Matt Milano as a

1177
01:03:01,080 --> 01:03:05,480
Speaker 1: defensive Player of the Year candidate. Uh. He said, the

1178
01:03:05,600 --> 01:03:10,480
Speaker 1: guy shows up every week. He's consistent, he makes big plays.

1179
01:03:10,720 --> 01:03:13,680
Speaker 1: He has the fumble recovery yesterday, as we mentioned, two

1180
01:03:13,720 --> 01:03:16,880
Speaker 1: tackles for loss. He should have had an interception too. Um.

1181
01:03:17,320 --> 01:03:20,200
Speaker 1: But all of that being said, what can be said

1182
01:03:20,240 --> 01:03:23,360
Speaker 1: about the week to week consistency of Milano, especially in

1183
01:03:23,440 --> 01:03:26,520
Speaker 1: the absence of Tremaine Edmonds yesterday showing up and playing

1184
01:03:26,560 --> 01:03:30,000
Speaker 1: the game he played. I mean, he may be the

1185
01:03:30,080 --> 01:03:35,200
Speaker 1: most valuable piece to any defense, you know, specifically to

1186
01:03:35,280 --> 01:03:37,520
Speaker 1: this Buffalo Bills defense. I mean, think about it when

1187
01:03:37,600 --> 01:03:42,040
Speaker 1: when he's not there, whether it's tight ends backs or whatever. Um,

1188
01:03:42,560 --> 01:03:44,840
Speaker 1: they find success in the run game, they find success

1189
01:03:44,880 --> 01:03:48,240
Speaker 1: in underneath passes, all of those things. I mean, Leslie

1190
01:03:48,280 --> 01:03:52,520
Speaker 1: Fraser uses his ability in so many different ways. There's

1191
01:03:52,560 --> 01:03:55,160
Speaker 1: there was this little, um little blitz third down blitz

1192
01:03:55,280 --> 01:03:57,120
Speaker 1: package of this past week where they were kind of

1193
01:03:57,160 --> 01:03:59,600
Speaker 1: an odd front walk the linebackers up over the over

1194
01:03:59,680 --> 01:04:02,520
Speaker 1: the guard arts and Matt Milano, well, you know, was

1195
01:04:02,600 --> 01:04:05,160
Speaker 1: on the outside, and the scheme allowed him to be

1196
01:04:05,480 --> 01:04:08,240
Speaker 1: Scott free, right, and he just went in there and

1197
01:04:08,280 --> 01:04:10,320
Speaker 1: did his thing, made the sack, kept and got up

1198
01:04:10,640 --> 01:04:13,840
Speaker 1: and he just keeps on playing, right. He's never too excited,

1199
01:04:13,920 --> 01:04:17,320
Speaker 1: ever too hype, or never two down about whatever what's happening.

1200
01:04:17,480 --> 01:04:19,800
Speaker 1: He just gets up and he continues to play. I'm

1201
01:04:19,840 --> 01:04:21,600
Speaker 1: not gonna go as far and saying he should be

1202
01:04:22,080 --> 01:04:25,040
Speaker 1: in the Defensive Player of the Year raction anything like that,

1203
01:04:25,880 --> 01:04:27,560
Speaker 1: but at the end of the day, I'm not. I

1204
01:04:27,600 --> 01:04:30,480
Speaker 1: don't know if there's anybody else that makes more important plays,

1205
01:04:30,520 --> 01:04:33,480
Speaker 1: more impactful plays for their defense than a Matt Milan

1206
01:04:33,640 --> 01:04:37,800
Speaker 1: would you go all pro? Oh yeah, that's easy, that's easy.

1207
01:04:37,840 --> 01:04:41,320
Speaker 1: I don't know. Is there another linebacker playing better, making

1208
01:04:41,480 --> 01:04:44,920
Speaker 1: bigger plays. I mean, if you count Michael Parsons as

1209
01:04:44,960 --> 01:04:47,360
Speaker 1: a linebacker, okay, yeah, because he rushed the passer. But

1210
01:04:47,640 --> 01:04:50,360
Speaker 1: I'm talking about the little things. I'm talking about a lineman.

1211
01:04:50,400 --> 01:04:52,640
Speaker 1: I'm talking about being able to spy a quarterback and

1212
01:04:52,720 --> 01:04:55,400
Speaker 1: talk a quarterback out from Russian. I'm talking about tipping

1213
01:04:55,440 --> 01:04:57,200
Speaker 1: a path. I mean, all of the little things that

1214
01:04:57,280 --> 01:04:59,480
Speaker 1: sometimes don't always show up in the box score of

1215
01:04:59,520 --> 01:05:01,920
Speaker 1: Matt mLAN does. Yeah. One of the things about this

1216
01:05:02,000 --> 01:05:04,439
Speaker 1: defense last year, it was a defense that was really

1217
01:05:04,520 --> 01:05:07,600
Speaker 1: great statistically, but they didn't have too many splash plays.

1218
01:05:07,640 --> 01:05:10,560
Speaker 1: Even yesterday, neither team had an interception, although he almost

1219
01:05:10,600 --> 01:05:13,960
Speaker 1: got a tipped one. The splash plays are really kind

1220
01:05:14,040 --> 01:05:19,120
Speaker 1: of what defenses look for to get that label of

1221
01:05:19,200 --> 01:05:21,520
Speaker 1: being a dominant defense, one where the offense is just

1222
01:05:21,920 --> 01:05:24,479
Speaker 1: a mess because the defense is just in their grill

1223
01:05:24,640 --> 01:05:27,280
Speaker 1: the entire game. The Bills are more like that this

1224
01:05:27,440 --> 01:05:29,480
Speaker 1: year than they were a year ago. Milano's a big

1225
01:05:29,520 --> 01:05:35,400
Speaker 1: reason why, even with a secondary that is nothing like

1226
01:05:35,520 --> 01:05:37,800
Speaker 1: what we thought it was going to look like. No

1227
01:05:38,000 --> 01:05:40,160
Speaker 1: they've been beat up. But I will say Jordan Poyer's

1228
01:05:40,240 --> 01:05:43,880
Speaker 1: return was very much welcomed. I mean, he was on

1229
01:05:44,080 --> 01:05:46,040
Speaker 1: David and Joko with on a couple of screens that

1230
01:05:46,080 --> 01:05:48,160
Speaker 1: would have been out the gate if he wasn't there,

1231
01:05:48,600 --> 01:05:50,680
Speaker 1: long passed down the field that he ended up breaking

1232
01:05:50,800 --> 01:05:53,840
Speaker 1: up that if he wasn't in the game, those would

1233
01:05:53,840 --> 01:05:55,680
Speaker 1: have been big plays and could have been the difference

1234
01:05:55,720 --> 01:05:58,840
Speaker 1: in the game. I mean just seeing the communication between

1235
01:05:59,000 --> 01:06:02,760
Speaker 1: him and how I mean, they needed his experience, they

1236
01:06:02,840 --> 01:06:05,480
Speaker 1: needed his eyes, they needed, you know, the things that

1237
01:06:05,560 --> 01:06:07,800
Speaker 1: he've seen before in the past. They needed his playmaking

1238
01:06:07,840 --> 01:06:10,720
Speaker 1: ability in the back end. It just seems like when

1239
01:06:10,840 --> 01:06:13,040
Speaker 1: Jordan Poyer is in the lineup, there's a little bit

1240
01:06:13,080 --> 01:06:16,280
Speaker 1: of there's a calmness in the back end. There's there

1241
01:06:16,360 --> 01:06:19,160
Speaker 1: isn't any panic, And when both him and Micah High

1242
01:06:19,160 --> 01:06:20,920
Speaker 1: were out the last couple of weeks, to me, there

1243
01:06:21,000 --> 01:06:22,600
Speaker 1: was a little bit of panic in the back end.

1244
01:06:22,760 --> 01:06:24,360
Speaker 1: They seemed to be a little bit more subtled down

1245
01:06:24,400 --> 01:06:27,320
Speaker 1: this past war. The most interesting thing was the way

1246
01:06:27,400 --> 01:06:32,200
Speaker 1: in which Poyer was deployed yesterday, because playing with Damar Hamlin,

1247
01:06:32,320 --> 01:06:35,640
Speaker 1: who's known as a more physical player and does some

1248
01:06:35,760 --> 01:06:37,960
Speaker 1: of his best work up near the line of scrimmage.

1249
01:06:38,200 --> 01:06:40,520
Speaker 1: They had Payer playing more of the center field role

1250
01:06:40,600 --> 01:06:43,000
Speaker 1: that Micah Hyde used to play. Obviously, Hides out for

1251
01:06:43,040 --> 01:06:46,320
Speaker 1: the season with the neck injury. What did you make

1252
01:06:46,360 --> 01:06:49,520
Speaker 1: of that seeing Poyer out in center field more? Kind

1253
01:06:49,560 --> 01:06:53,120
Speaker 1: of viewing everything from that perspective when in past years

1254
01:06:53,160 --> 01:06:55,600
Speaker 1: when Hide is in the lineup, he's usually the more

1255
01:06:55,640 --> 01:07:00,640
Speaker 1: physical guy up at the line. That's the that's the

1256
01:07:00,760 --> 01:07:03,360
Speaker 1: value of Jordan Poyer. Right, with all the motion and

1257
01:07:03,440 --> 01:07:06,600
Speaker 1: shifts that these offenses do. Now with fly motion, jet

1258
01:07:06,680 --> 01:07:10,000
Speaker 1: sweet motion this and RPO this or whatever, you almost

1259
01:07:10,040 --> 01:07:12,160
Speaker 1: got to be connected in the back end right, and

1260
01:07:12,240 --> 01:07:15,160
Speaker 1: Jordan Poiler hit. To me, his experience is the reason

1261
01:07:15,200 --> 01:07:17,560
Speaker 1: why they put him in the bat Right. You're dealing

1262
01:07:17,640 --> 01:07:20,800
Speaker 1: with a guy like Amari Cooper, who I mean, he

1263
01:07:20,840 --> 01:07:23,080
Speaker 1: can route anybody up in the National Football League. He

1264
01:07:23,440 --> 01:07:25,920
Speaker 1: understands how to get open. You want to experience on

1265
01:07:26,040 --> 01:07:28,520
Speaker 1: the back end, especially with young corners. You want to

1266
01:07:28,520 --> 01:07:31,040
Speaker 1: experience on the back end. At the very least. You

1267
01:07:31,120 --> 01:07:32,840
Speaker 1: may give up a big play, but you won't give

1268
01:07:32,920 --> 01:07:35,080
Speaker 1: up a big play for an explosive touchdown because you

1269
01:07:35,160 --> 01:07:37,280
Speaker 1: have a you have a short tackler on the back end.

1270
01:07:37,640 --> 01:07:40,680
Speaker 1: That is the insurance policy that Jordan Poyer added for

1271
01:07:40,800 --> 01:07:42,320
Speaker 1: this defense. That's why I think they put him in

1272
01:07:42,360 --> 01:07:44,200
Speaker 1: the back end. What do the Bills have to be

1273
01:07:45,160 --> 01:07:49,240
Speaker 1: wary of this week against the Lions. Certainly they're the Lions.

1274
01:07:49,360 --> 01:07:51,760
Speaker 1: You know that they've got a three game winning streak going.

1275
01:07:52,560 --> 01:07:55,280
Speaker 1: Their defenses struggle, but their offenses throwing some points on

1276
01:07:55,360 --> 01:07:56,840
Speaker 1: the board. What do you think the Bills need to

1277
01:07:56,920 --> 01:08:01,040
Speaker 1: worry about most when they're facing the Detroit Lions this week. Well,

1278
01:08:01,760 --> 01:08:05,280
Speaker 1: more than anything, just complacency in their heads. Right, just

1279
01:08:05,480 --> 01:08:07,840
Speaker 1: understand what happened, right, You played a tough game against

1280
01:08:07,880 --> 01:08:11,320
Speaker 1: the Minnesota Vikings, tough emotional game that you literally gave

1281
01:08:11,480 --> 01:08:13,760
Speaker 1: them the game. Right, then you had to deal with

1282
01:08:13,880 --> 01:08:16,200
Speaker 1: whether you had to deal with traveling all of those

1283
01:08:16,240 --> 01:08:19,600
Speaker 1: things this past week. Now you're dealing with Thanksgiving and

1284
01:08:19,680 --> 01:08:23,760
Speaker 1: all and everything, and you could kind of you could

1285
01:08:23,800 --> 01:08:25,519
Speaker 1: kind of relax a little bit in this game. Oh,

1286
01:08:25,560 --> 01:08:28,120
Speaker 1: it's the Detroit Lions. We should just show we can

1287
01:08:28,200 --> 01:08:29,920
Speaker 1: show up and just beat them. And I'm not saying

1288
01:08:29,960 --> 01:08:32,400
Speaker 1: that guys will be saying that, but there's it's a

1289
01:08:32,479 --> 01:08:36,000
Speaker 1: kind of feeling, right as soon as this game starts,

1290
01:08:36,600 --> 01:08:38,840
Speaker 1: they need to be on the attack mode. They need

1291
01:08:38,880 --> 01:08:42,160
Speaker 1: to be hitting everything defensively and offensively, being explosive and

1292
01:08:42,280 --> 01:08:45,439
Speaker 1: being physical, still being able to run the football, being

1293
01:08:45,600 --> 01:08:48,479
Speaker 1: physical and being explosive that way, and I think they'll

1294
01:08:48,520 --> 01:08:52,960
Speaker 1: be fine. But Jared Golf, I'm saying, I'm I'm on Ross,

1295
01:08:52,960 --> 01:08:57,160
Speaker 1: Saint Brown, I mean, Jamal Williams. You know all of

1296
01:08:57,200 --> 01:08:59,200
Speaker 1: those guys can play. So if you don't come in

1297
01:08:59,280 --> 01:09:02,599
Speaker 1: with the right mind, that the Detroit lines will beat you. Yeah,

1298
01:09:03,479 --> 01:09:05,400
Speaker 1: I want to before we let you go, tip my

1299
01:09:05,479 --> 01:09:08,320
Speaker 1: hat to Buffalo special teams here, Mike Rob I know

1300
01:09:08,439 --> 01:09:12,799
Speaker 1: you played some special teams in your time. The drive

1301
01:09:13,000 --> 01:09:16,840
Speaker 1: starts that Niheim Hines was handing the offense, particularly in

1302
01:09:16,920 --> 01:09:19,439
Speaker 1: the first half when their offense wasn't in full gear yet,

1303
01:09:20,080 --> 01:09:23,720
Speaker 1: and Tyler Bass with six field goals yesterday, So maybe

1304
01:09:23,800 --> 01:09:26,200
Speaker 1: just talk about the contributions of those two because at

1305
01:09:26,240 --> 01:09:28,080
Speaker 1: the end of the day, Hines has one hundred and

1306
01:09:28,160 --> 01:09:31,439
Speaker 1: thirteen yards on returns. Those are those hidden yards that

1307
01:09:31,560 --> 01:09:36,160
Speaker 1: coaches talk about. That is those those all those hidden yards.

1308
01:09:36,240 --> 01:09:40,000
Speaker 1: And first of all, Tyler Bass, dude, bro, you got

1309
01:09:40,160 --> 01:09:42,400
Speaker 1: ice water running too your veins. Man. I know it's

1310
01:09:42,400 --> 01:09:44,559
Speaker 1: coal up there, Buffalo like, let's go here for two,

1311
01:09:44,880 --> 01:09:46,840
Speaker 1: but you got ice water running into your veins. Bro

1312
01:09:46,960 --> 01:09:48,880
Speaker 1: six for six. That's pretty dope, man. And you hit

1313
01:09:48,960 --> 01:09:51,200
Speaker 1: some long ones and you drilled them, man, great job

1314
01:09:51,560 --> 01:09:54,280
Speaker 1: number one. Number two. When I look at Naim Haines,

1315
01:09:54,360 --> 01:09:58,160
Speaker 1: man return guy, he reminds me, not necessarily how he's

1316
01:09:58,200 --> 01:10:01,280
Speaker 1: built or whatever, but just the way he returns, he

1317
01:10:01,360 --> 01:10:03,680
Speaker 1: reminds me of Leon Washington. I used to block for

1318
01:10:03,800 --> 01:10:06,040
Speaker 1: Leon Washington with the Seattle Seahawks, and it's because he

1319
01:10:06,560 --> 01:10:09,080
Speaker 1: the first guy never really gets them right. Whether it's

1320
01:10:09,080 --> 01:10:11,880
Speaker 1: a pump return, kickoff return, he always makes the first

1321
01:10:11,920 --> 01:10:15,280
Speaker 1: guy go and he goes right. It's the guys that

1322
01:10:15,439 --> 01:10:17,479
Speaker 1: hesitate is the guys that I didn't know. I didn't

1323
01:10:17,520 --> 01:10:19,200
Speaker 1: like blocking for right because you didn't know where they

1324
01:10:19,240 --> 01:10:21,479
Speaker 1: were gonna go. They didn't set up blocks. This guy

1325
01:10:21,680 --> 01:10:24,479
Speaker 1: goes and that's why those hidden yards you talk about,

1326
01:10:24,800 --> 01:10:27,280
Speaker 1: if they're out there, nim Hans is gonna find him.

1327
01:10:27,360 --> 01:10:29,799
Speaker 1: And he's a running back, right, and so he understands

1328
01:10:29,840 --> 01:10:32,639
Speaker 1: how to run through contact. That's why I like running

1329
01:10:32,640 --> 01:10:35,040
Speaker 1: backs being return guys because at the end of the day,

1330
01:10:35,080 --> 01:10:37,320
Speaker 1: they know how to run with the football. Special teams

1331
01:10:37,479 --> 01:10:40,639
Speaker 1: is awesome and at the end of the day, special

1332
01:10:40,680 --> 01:10:42,920
Speaker 1: teams are gonna be the reason why we win some

1333
01:10:43,080 --> 01:10:45,880
Speaker 1: games coming down to stretch. I'll say this too. Guys

1334
01:10:45,880 --> 01:10:48,640
Speaker 1: who running backs are more used to break and tackles too.

1335
01:10:48,760 --> 01:10:52,640
Speaker 1: It's you're always gonna it's all right for guys you know,

1336
01:10:52,720 --> 01:10:56,800
Speaker 1: like me and Isaiah McKenzie. You know, these guys are

1337
01:10:56,840 --> 01:10:59,280
Speaker 1: way at Bucks seventy five or Buck eighty. When when

1338
01:10:59,280 --> 01:11:01,840
Speaker 1: somebody gets a hand on ego down right, you get

1339
01:11:01,840 --> 01:11:04,120
Speaker 1: a two hundred pound guy in there, or one hundred

1340
01:11:04,240 --> 01:11:05,960
Speaker 1: ninety five on two hundred pound, two hundred and ten

1341
01:11:05,960 --> 01:11:08,720
Speaker 1: pound guy back there, makes a big difference when you're

1342
01:11:08,840 --> 01:11:12,320
Speaker 1: trying to run through an arm tackle. And and for

1343
01:11:12,439 --> 01:11:14,439
Speaker 1: the guys covering, I mean, you know what, you know

1344
01:11:14,600 --> 01:11:16,960
Speaker 1: this I'm covering, It makes you think a little bit.

1345
01:11:17,040 --> 01:11:20,360
Speaker 1: You know, running full speed, you're like, okay, got coming

1346
01:11:20,400 --> 01:11:22,680
Speaker 1: at me, Okay, let me slow it down a little bit.

1347
01:11:22,880 --> 01:11:25,080
Speaker 1: And it forced you to make a business yeah yeah, yeah,

1348

Speaker 1: to jump under that chariot, you know, I mean I did,

1350
01:11:31,840 --> 01:11:33,240
Speaker 1: I mean I did it a couple of times when

1351
01:11:33,280 --> 01:11:35,200
Speaker 1: I threw myself under the wheels of the train a

1352
01:11:35,280 --> 01:11:39,040
Speaker 1: couple of times. But you know, down man, somebody else

1363
01:12:13,400 --> 01:12:16,559
Speaker 1: week hiatus, Steve, but after the latest Bills victory, they

1364
01:12:16,720 --> 01:12:19,240
Speaker 1: are back Maddie glab to hand those out next Here

1365
01:12:19,280 --> 01:12:22,000
Speaker 1: on One Bills Live, presented by Kalida Health, It's Buffalo

1366
01:12:22,040 --> 01:12:36,920
Speaker 1: Bills Radio. Welcome back to one Bills Live on this

1367
01:12:37,200 --> 01:12:42,839
Speaker 1: Buffalo Football victory Monday. And what we do after victories

1368
01:12:43,479 --> 01:12:45,640
Speaker 1: is something we haven't done in almost three weeks. It

1369
01:12:45,840 --> 01:12:50,800
Speaker 1: is time for the Maddie Awards, Long overdue, presented by

1370
01:12:51,120 --> 01:12:54,479
Speaker 1: Energy Mark the official energy supplier to the Buffalo Bills,

1371
01:12:55,040 --> 01:12:58,040
Speaker 1: and we welcome in Bills reporter Maddie glab to do

1372
01:12:58,160 --> 01:13:00,840
Speaker 1: the honors. Maddie, it's good to finally see you on

1373
01:13:00,960 --> 01:13:05,840
Speaker 1: a Monday. My goodness, it's been a minute, guys. It

1374
01:13:05,960 --> 01:13:08,799
Speaker 1: has been long enough. Like the what the heck happened?

1375
01:13:08,840 --> 01:13:10,960
Speaker 1: We had a good thing going and then we missed

1376
01:13:11,000 --> 01:13:14,160
Speaker 1: two weeks. But hopefully, hopfully we're back on for a

1377
01:13:14,280 --> 01:13:17,240
Speaker 1: nice long streak. You know, the Lions are riding a

1378
01:13:17,320 --> 01:13:20,160
Speaker 1: three game win streak. I want to be in their territory.

1379
01:13:20,320 --> 01:13:22,400
Speaker 1: We need to stop them from having their win streak

1380
01:13:22,680 --> 01:13:25,000
Speaker 1: and get ours going again, because that's what the Bills

1381
01:13:25,040 --> 01:13:26,599
Speaker 1: need if they want to go deep into the playoffs

1382
01:13:26,720 --> 01:13:29,920
Speaker 1: this season. Yeah, no question about it. Kick it off,

1383
01:13:32,320 --> 01:13:35,840
Speaker 1: all righty, let's go. Number one has got to be

1384
01:13:36,760 --> 01:13:40,560
Speaker 1: our guy. By Tyler Bass, he wins are coming in

1385
01:13:41,000 --> 01:13:44,800
Speaker 1: Clutch Award for Week eleven, I mean tied a team

1386
01:13:44,880 --> 01:13:47,599
Speaker 1: record six field goal attempts that he made. He also

1387
01:13:47,720 --> 01:13:50,920
Speaker 1: had that record in twenty twenty Steve Christie as well.

1388
01:13:51,120 --> 01:13:54,840
Speaker 1: Nineteen total points a single game career high for Tyler Bass,

1389
01:13:55,400 --> 01:13:57,479
Speaker 1: the one from fifty six yards out. He had one

1390
01:13:57,560 --> 01:14:00,520
Speaker 1: from forty nine yards out. I mean, these are situations

1391
01:14:00,560 --> 01:14:04,320
Speaker 1: where you wish your offense could score touchdowns in the

1392
01:14:04,400 --> 01:14:07,160
Speaker 1: red zone, but sometimes that's just not how it all

1393
01:14:07,240 --> 01:14:10,200
Speaker 1: shakes out, and in situations like that, you need a

1394
01:14:10,320 --> 01:14:13,479
Speaker 1: reliable kicker. I think it definitely helped that Tyler Bass

1395
01:14:13,680 --> 01:14:17,439
Speaker 1: was inside instead of outside, but I have belief in

1396
01:14:17,600 --> 01:14:19,960
Speaker 1: him if he was outside as well. So it was

1397
01:14:20,040 --> 01:14:22,960
Speaker 1: great to see him just connect on six field goal

1398
01:14:23,120 --> 01:14:26,360
Speaker 1: attempts yesterday. The Bills literally could not have done it

1399
01:14:26,640 --> 01:14:28,840
Speaker 1: without him. He gave them a multiple score lead at

1400
01:14:28,880 --> 01:14:31,800
Speaker 1: different points, so shout out to him. We really haven't

1401
01:14:31,880 --> 01:14:34,960
Speaker 1: seen that, you know, five field goal, six field goal,

1402
01:14:35,120 --> 01:14:38,680
Speaker 1: four field goal makes from Tyler Bass this season, so

1403
01:14:38,760 --> 01:14:40,400
Speaker 1: it was good to see him kind of be the

1404
01:14:40,680 --> 01:14:43,320
Speaker 1: MVP in a game this season. I know the Bills

1405
01:14:43,360 --> 01:14:46,320
Speaker 1: will need him down the stretch. Yeow. That those six

1406
01:14:46,439 --> 01:14:48,800
Speaker 1: field goals plus his extra point, he set a career

1407
01:14:48,880 --> 01:14:51,800
Speaker 1: high nineteen points in the single game. That's a new

1408
01:14:51,880 --> 01:14:54,120
Speaker 1: career best for him. So yeah, coming up clutch is

1409
01:14:54,360 --> 01:14:57,000
Speaker 1: great award there. Yeah, and also you got another one

1410
01:14:57,560 --> 01:15:00,320
Speaker 1: tough as nails, which we knew this was going to coming.

1411
01:15:00,439 --> 01:15:01,680
Speaker 1: This was going to be the big test for the

1412
01:15:01,720 --> 01:15:05,880
Speaker 1: Bills defense. Yeah, tough as nails is going to a

1413
01:15:05,960 --> 01:15:09,400
Speaker 1: run defense. They finally showed up. They're showing what they

1414
01:15:09,520 --> 01:15:11,840
Speaker 1: looked like in the beginning of this season when they

1415
01:15:11,920 --> 01:15:14,879
Speaker 1: were the number one run defense in the NFL, allowing

1416
01:15:14,960 --> 01:15:18,880
Speaker 1: less than eighty rushing yards per game. They did exactly

1417
01:15:19,040 --> 01:15:21,760
Speaker 1: that against the Browns against a really good running back

1418
01:15:21,800 --> 01:15:24,160
Speaker 1: in Nick Chubb, who going into the game led the

1419
01:15:24,320 --> 01:15:27,680
Speaker 1: NFL with eleven rushing touchdowns and was averaging over one

1420
01:15:27,720 --> 01:15:30,920
Speaker 1: hundred rushing yards per game. It was crazy that this

1421
01:15:31,080 --> 01:15:33,680
Speaker 1: team went on a three game skid where they were

1422
01:15:33,720 --> 01:15:36,200
Speaker 1: allowing almost one hundred and eighty rushing yards a game,

1423
01:15:36,200 --> 01:15:37,920
Speaker 1: and a lot of those rushing yards were coming in

1424
01:15:38,000 --> 01:15:41,200
Speaker 1: a second half as teams started to play catchup against

1425
01:15:41,240 --> 01:15:44,240
Speaker 1: the Bills. Well, the Bills hold the Browns to just

1426
01:15:44,640 --> 01:15:49,280
Speaker 1: twenty six rushing yards in the half, eighty rushing yards overall.

1427
01:15:49,520 --> 01:15:51,640
Speaker 1: And I love that they held Nick Chubb to just

1428
01:15:51,880 --> 01:15:54,759
Speaker 1: nineteen rushing yards for an average of one point yards

1429
01:15:55,000 --> 01:15:58,320
Speaker 1: one point four yards per carry. That's the lowest since

1430
01:15:58,400 --> 01:16:01,760
Speaker 1: his rookie season in twenty eighteen. Guys, they did this

1431
01:16:01,840 --> 01:16:05,520
Speaker 1: without Tremaine Edmonds and Greg Russo, two players who obviously

1432
01:16:05,640 --> 01:16:08,719
Speaker 1: would have helped in the run game in run defense.

1433
01:16:09,320 --> 01:16:11,400
Speaker 1: They needed the run defense to show up big, and

1434
01:16:11,520 --> 01:16:15,400
Speaker 1: they did exactly that. They had points against the Vikings

1435
01:16:15,479 --> 01:16:17,720
Speaker 1: where they showed it, but they allowed that eighty one

1436
01:16:17,760 --> 01:16:20,880
Speaker 1: yard rushing touchdowns to Dalvin Cook, so it was nice

1437
01:16:20,920 --> 01:16:24,040
Speaker 1: to see them heighten it up here before they have

1438
01:16:24,200 --> 01:16:27,960
Speaker 1: Jamal Williams on Thursday, who oh, by the way, leads

1439
01:16:27,960 --> 01:16:30,760
Speaker 1: the NFL with twelve rushing touchdowns right now. Yeah, they

1440
01:16:30,800 --> 01:16:32,599
Speaker 1: are running the ball really well. They're moving the ball

1441
01:16:32,680 --> 01:16:34,280
Speaker 1: really well. The Lions who are the problem is they

1442
01:16:34,320 --> 01:16:37,360
Speaker 1: just can't stop anybody. But yeah, they also the second

1443
01:16:37,400 --> 01:16:39,360
Speaker 1: straight week, the d line also had a turnover on

1444
01:16:39,520 --> 01:16:41,800
Speaker 1: downs and Shack Lawson with both of the fourth down

1445
01:16:41,880 --> 01:16:43,680
Speaker 1: stops each of the last two weeks. So yeah, the

1446
01:16:43,880 --> 01:16:45,719
Speaker 1: guys up front did a heck of a job. Spark

1447
01:16:45,840 --> 01:16:50,800
Speaker 1: Plug Award, who's getting this spark plugs go into our

1448
01:16:50,880 --> 01:16:55,280
Speaker 1: rushing offense, Devin Singletary and James Cook. We need we

1449
01:16:55,360 --> 01:16:58,040
Speaker 1: need the rushing offense and the run defense to get

1450
01:16:58,120 --> 01:17:00,960
Speaker 1: going to stop the other team. And we needed our

1451
01:17:01,040 --> 01:17:04,000
Speaker 1: rushing offense to help this team get me end zone.

1452
01:17:04,240 --> 01:17:07,200
Speaker 1: Help this team games gained some yards and that's what

1453
01:17:07,320 --> 01:17:10,639
Speaker 1: they did and it was so nice to see. We've

1454
01:17:10,680 --> 01:17:13,479
Speaker 1: heard Ken Dorsey say, We've heard Sean McDermott say, we

1455
01:17:13,600 --> 01:17:15,720
Speaker 1: want to be a balanced team. We know we have

1456
01:17:16,600 --> 01:17:18,960
Speaker 1: to be more balanced as we start to go into

1457
01:17:19,000 --> 01:17:23,120
Speaker 1: the colder months of the season. And this team looked

1458
01:17:23,120 --> 01:17:26,040
Speaker 1: almost equal in terms of rushing yards to passing yards,

1459
01:17:26,120 --> 01:17:28,960
Speaker 1: one seventy one to one eighty six. And the key

1460
01:17:29,080 --> 01:17:33,439
Speaker 1: thing here, guys is Josh Allen only had seven rushing yards.

1461
01:17:33,720 --> 01:17:36,200
Speaker 1: The Bills running backs coming into this game, we're averaging

1462
01:17:36,240 --> 01:17:38,880
Speaker 1: only seventy three rushing yards a game, and they go

1463
01:17:39,000 --> 01:17:42,320
Speaker 1: almost over one hundred more than that. One hundred and

1464
01:17:42,400 --> 01:17:46,040
Speaker 1: seventy one rushing yards for the Buffalo Bills overall. Love

1465
01:17:46,120 --> 01:17:50,360
Speaker 1: that Jaden's Cook and David Devin's singletary had eighty six

1466
01:17:50,520 --> 01:17:52,479
Speaker 1: rushing yards on the ground. But I think the really

1467
01:17:52,560 --> 01:17:56,679
Speaker 1: important thing there was their average. James Cook had almost

1468
01:17:56,760 --> 01:17:59,800
Speaker 1: eight yards per carry, Devon had almost five yards per carry.

1469
01:18:00,120 --> 01:18:03,320
Speaker 1: Loved the explosiveness that we saw from James Cook. He

1470
01:18:03,439 --> 01:18:06,960
Speaker 1: definitely grabbed some extra yards with his strength and his vision.

1471
01:18:07,360 --> 01:18:10,120
Speaker 1: I'm really excited to see how that unfolds as the

1472
01:18:10,200 --> 01:18:13,599
Speaker 1: season goes on. So this was a good sign, something

1473
01:18:13,640 --> 01:18:16,000
Speaker 1: that we really needed to see from the Bill's offense,

1474
01:18:16,080 --> 01:18:18,759
Speaker 1: and I loved that we got it against the Cleveland Browns.

1475
01:18:18,840 --> 01:18:21,160
Speaker 1: They're going to need to do it in weeks ahead

1476
01:18:21,200 --> 01:18:23,519
Speaker 1: as well, so we'll see if this team can stay

1477
01:18:23,560 --> 01:18:26,840
Speaker 1: consistent on the ground. It definitely wasn't a Josh Allen

1478
01:18:26,960 --> 01:18:29,080
Speaker 1: game yesterday. It was a lot of other people that

1479
01:18:29,240 --> 01:18:32,640
Speaker 1: helped the Bills win, and the rushing offense. Devon and

1480
01:18:32,840 --> 01:18:34,800
Speaker 1: James were a big part of that. Yeah, and it

1481
01:18:35,000 --> 01:18:37,760
Speaker 1: certainly was a time when the offense played a little

1482
01:18:37,760 --> 01:18:39,840
Speaker 1: bit different style of game because the fact that Josh

1483
01:18:39,920 --> 01:18:42,120
Speaker 1: handed it off a ton. Really not too many Josh

1484
01:18:42,160 --> 01:18:45,080
Speaker 1: Allen called runs either. He only ran the ball three

1485
01:18:45,160 --> 01:18:47,519
Speaker 1: times for seven yards and as long was six, so

1486
01:18:47,800 --> 01:18:49,720
Speaker 1: he really didn't run the football. Didn't have his number

1487
01:18:49,760 --> 01:18:52,599
Speaker 1: called in the run game either. But nevertheless, the offense

1488
01:18:52,680 --> 01:18:54,920
Speaker 1: did kind of get on track, particularly in the run game.

1489
01:18:55,000 --> 01:18:58,519
Speaker 1: And for your next award, they scored a second half touchdown.

1490
01:19:00,120 --> 01:19:03,360
Speaker 1: Better late than never, baby, that's our award for the

1491
01:19:03,600 --> 01:19:08,320
Speaker 1: second half touchdown. Finally, the Bills score a touchdown in

1492
01:19:08,400 --> 01:19:11,040
Speaker 1: the second half. Before yesterday, the Bills hadn't scored a

1493
01:19:11,120 --> 01:19:13,760
Speaker 1: touchdown the second half since before the bye week. This

1494
01:19:13,920 --> 01:19:16,920
Speaker 1: is crazy for a team that is such a high scoring,

1495
01:19:17,040 --> 01:19:19,599
Speaker 1: high production type offense. It was good to see them

1496
01:19:19,680 --> 01:19:22,559
Speaker 1: get back to that. Hopefully this week we see them

1497
01:19:22,640 --> 01:19:25,720
Speaker 1: score multiple touchdowns in the second half, not just one.

1498
01:19:26,320 --> 01:19:29,519
Speaker 1: That rushing touchdown by Devin Singleton Ferry that happened in

1499
01:19:29,560 --> 01:19:35,080
Speaker 1: the third quarter is exactly what they needed to get

1500
01:19:35,160 --> 01:19:37,719
Speaker 1: that lead going against the Browns. I know that Tyler

1501
01:19:37,800 --> 01:19:41,200
Speaker 1: Bass showed up in the second half as well, but

1502
01:19:42,200 --> 01:19:45,439
Speaker 1: hopefully we can add to this against the Lions. It

1503
01:19:45,520 --> 01:19:47,800
Speaker 1: would have been nice, obviously, like I said, to see

1504
01:19:47,840 --> 01:19:50,639
Speaker 1: some of those field goals be touchdowns, because this red

1505
01:19:50,720 --> 01:19:54,360
Speaker 1: zone efficiency for this offense needs to improve. It's been

1506
01:19:54,439 --> 01:19:56,760
Speaker 1: something that's kind have been a bugaboo for them this

1507
01:19:56,920 --> 01:20:00,280
Speaker 1: season and especially over the last few weeks. But baby

1508
01:20:00,320 --> 01:20:03,960
Speaker 1: steps here, right, baby steps second half touchdown, check that,

1509
01:20:04,520 --> 01:20:07,760
Speaker 1: and let's keep moving on and get back to this

1510
01:20:07,960 --> 01:20:11,240
Speaker 1: high scoring team. And really, the stat that we saw

1511
01:20:11,360 --> 01:20:13,880
Speaker 1: from this team in the second half in the first

1512
01:20:13,920 --> 01:20:16,400
Speaker 1: few weeks of the season, they were allowing no points

1513
01:20:16,479 --> 01:20:18,760
Speaker 1: basically in the second half, and they were scoring a

1514
01:20:18,840 --> 01:20:22,080
Speaker 1: boatload of points in the second half. So Hopefully these

1515
01:20:22,120 --> 01:20:25,200
Speaker 1: are little little inklings as to what this team is

1516
01:20:25,240 --> 01:20:27,360
Speaker 1: going to be doing here going ahead as we finish

1517
01:20:27,439 --> 01:20:30,840
Speaker 1: out the regular season. All right, difference maker time, you

1518
01:20:30,960 --> 01:20:32,880
Speaker 1: might have been able to pick a couple of people here,

1519
01:20:33,439 --> 01:20:37,720
Speaker 1: and who'd you end up landing on. Yeah, it's a

1520
01:20:37,720 --> 01:20:41,439
Speaker 1: little tough. There are a couple of different makers on defense,

1521
01:20:41,600 --> 01:20:43,479
Speaker 1: is what I was thinking about. And I'm going to

1522
01:20:43,560 --> 01:20:45,960
Speaker 1: give this one to Jordan Poyer. It was so nice

1523
01:20:46,040 --> 01:20:47,920
Speaker 1: to see him back in this game. He's missed a

1524
01:20:47,960 --> 01:20:50,400
Speaker 1: couple games with that elbow injury. He has just been

1525
01:20:50,479 --> 01:20:53,439
Speaker 1: in and out of the lineup this season with injuries.

1526
01:20:53,520 --> 01:20:55,720
Speaker 1: I feel so bad for him with what he's had

1527
01:20:55,760 --> 01:20:58,080
Speaker 1: to deal with, probably the rehab that he's had to

1528
01:20:58,120 --> 01:21:00,880
Speaker 1: go through every single week to make sure he's getting

1529
01:21:00,960 --> 01:21:03,320
Speaker 1: healthier and was able to play in this past game.

1530
01:21:03,920 --> 01:21:06,599
Speaker 1: I would love to see some consistency out of him

1531
01:21:06,760 --> 01:21:09,160
Speaker 1: in terms of playing in games and hopefully not missing

1532
01:21:09,439 --> 01:21:12,800
Speaker 1: too many more this season. He showed up big, you

1533
01:21:12,880 --> 01:21:15,360
Speaker 1: know when the Bills needed a big time play yesterday,

1534
01:21:15,560 --> 01:21:18,960
Speaker 1: when they needed a big tackle on third down, when

1535
01:21:19,200 --> 01:21:21,800
Speaker 1: there was a chance of a play escaping out and

1536
01:21:21,960 --> 01:21:24,360
Speaker 1: gaining more yards than it needed to it seemed like

1537
01:21:24,479 --> 01:21:27,040
Speaker 1: Jordan Poyer was right there to make that tackle or

1538
01:21:27,160 --> 01:21:30,200
Speaker 1: make that stop. Also got to give an honorable mention

1539
01:21:30,240 --> 01:21:33,080
Speaker 1: to Matt Milano because it seemed like he showed up too,

1540
01:21:33,200 --> 01:21:35,000
Speaker 1: and a lot of big moments yesterday. I know, he

1541
01:21:35,080 --> 01:21:38,400
Speaker 1: had that sack and had the second most tackles on

1542
01:21:38,479 --> 01:21:42,559
Speaker 1: the team. He came through with Tremaine Edmonds being out.

1543
01:21:42,880 --> 01:21:46,160
Speaker 1: He was going to have more responsibilities yesterday without Edmunds,

1544
01:21:46,200 --> 01:21:48,519
Speaker 1: and so I was proud of what those two players

1545
01:21:48,920 --> 01:21:51,320
Speaker 1: were able to do. They've both been injured in different

1546
01:21:51,360 --> 01:21:53,880
Speaker 1: ways this season, and I think they came in clutch,

1547
01:21:53,960 --> 01:21:56,360
Speaker 1: and we're difference makers in a lot of ways for

1548
01:21:56,520 --> 01:21:59,360
Speaker 1: this defense. And not only that, Matt Milano has been

1549
01:21:59,439 --> 01:22:02,040
Speaker 1: doing it asstantly all season. He's got his own teammates

1550
01:22:02,200 --> 01:22:04,599
Speaker 1: calling him Defensive player of the Year and a candidate

1551
01:22:04,680 --> 01:22:07,320
Speaker 1: for that honor, and Bill's fans have really come to

1552
01:22:07,760 --> 01:22:11,200
Speaker 1: really realize how much of a difference he makes when

1553
01:22:11,240 --> 01:22:14,000
Speaker 1: he's on the field. The tackles for loss this year

1554
01:22:14,040 --> 01:22:17,080
Speaker 1: have been phenomenal. If and if if Matt could catch,

1555
01:22:17,840 --> 01:22:20,800
Speaker 1: he might be high in the league. And interceptions as well.

1556
01:22:20,880 --> 01:22:23,360
Speaker 1: I mean he dropped three interceptions in the Minnesota game,

1557
01:22:23,439 --> 01:22:27,559
Speaker 1: was it, or or maybe it was the Jeta so um, yeah,

1558
01:22:27,720 --> 01:22:32,040
Speaker 1: Matt Matt Malana is putting together maybe well, I think,

1559
01:22:32,120 --> 01:22:36,560
Speaker 1: without question, the best season of his career. Yeah, I

1560
01:22:36,600 --> 01:22:39,760
Speaker 1: would agree. It's been so far fun to watch him play.

1561
01:22:40,320 --> 01:22:44,559
Speaker 1: He dropped another interception yesterday, Not that that makes him

1562
01:22:44,600 --> 01:22:47,280
Speaker 1: a terrible player at all, It just would be awesome

1563
01:22:47,360 --> 01:22:49,160
Speaker 1: to see what that number could be, because I think

1564
01:22:49,200 --> 01:22:52,519
Speaker 1: he could probably have five interceptions so far this season

1565
01:22:52,680 --> 01:22:56,040
Speaker 1: if those drops were actually catches. But this team needs him.

1566
01:22:56,120 --> 01:22:58,479
Speaker 1: They need him a lot when Tremaine Edmonds is not

1567
01:22:58,640 --> 01:23:02,320
Speaker 1: on the field the way that this defense plays, and

1568
01:23:02,400 --> 01:23:05,639
Speaker 1: mostly Nickel. I know we saw some three linebacker sets yesterday,

1569
01:23:05,760 --> 01:23:08,160
Speaker 1: but you need a lot from your two linebackers when

1570
01:23:08,160 --> 01:23:09,760
Speaker 1: they're in the game and you're playing a four two

1571
01:23:09,840 --> 01:23:13,200
Speaker 1: five defense. So yeah, all right, So let's wrap it

1572
01:23:13,320 --> 01:23:19,840
Speaker 1: up with the real MVP Award. Real MVP Award. I

1573
01:23:20,120 --> 01:23:22,280
Speaker 1: know I said Tyler Bass was the MVP of the

1574
01:23:22,360 --> 01:23:26,160
Speaker 1: game yesterday, but the real MVP was Bill's Mafia and

1575
01:23:26,280 --> 01:23:28,880
Speaker 1: all of our staff for helping players get out of

1576
01:23:28,920 --> 01:23:32,439
Speaker 1: their driveways and helping them get to Detroit on time.

1577
01:23:32,479 --> 01:23:34,360
Speaker 1: And then all of our fans who showed up to

1578
01:23:34,520 --> 01:23:38,120
Speaker 1: support this team in Detroit. It was a crazy couple

1579
01:23:38,200 --> 01:23:40,320
Speaker 1: of it of days as this team tried to figure

1580
01:23:40,360 --> 01:23:43,559
Speaker 1: out are we playing the game in Buffalo or are

1581
01:23:43,640 --> 01:23:45,640
Speaker 1: we playing the game in Orchard Park? How is this

1582
01:23:45,760 --> 01:23:48,240
Speaker 1: going to look if we play the game? Actually, we're

1583
01:23:48,280 --> 01:23:51,160
Speaker 1: going to move it to Detroit. And everybody has gotten

1584
01:23:51,200 --> 01:23:53,679
Speaker 1: over four feet of snow now six and a half

1585
01:23:53,720 --> 01:23:56,080
Speaker 1: are the totals. But it was amazing to just log

1586
01:23:56,160 --> 01:24:00,679
Speaker 1: onto social media and see player after player after player

1587
01:24:01,040 --> 01:24:03,320
Speaker 1: being helped out of their driveways being dug out of

1588
01:24:03,360 --> 01:24:08,760
Speaker 1: their driveways by people neighbors, friends, fans, family members who

1589
01:24:08,960 --> 01:24:11,680
Speaker 1: just showed up, and we're there to say, tell me

1590
01:24:11,800 --> 01:24:13,800
Speaker 1: what I need to do to help help you get

1591
01:24:13,880 --> 01:24:16,920
Speaker 1: to Detroit. I know we heard Josh shouted out a

1592
01:24:17,240 --> 01:24:21,200
Speaker 1: squirrel Winters, which is the best name in the entire world,

1593
01:24:21,720 --> 01:24:24,439
Speaker 1: for getting him out of his driveway. It was fun

1594
01:24:24,479 --> 01:24:26,519
Speaker 1: to see Spencer Brown, he had a bunch of people

1595
01:24:26,560 --> 01:24:28,960
Speaker 1: helping him out of his driveway. And then of course

1596
01:24:29,080 --> 01:24:31,880
Speaker 1: our support staff was there to pick those guys up

1597
01:24:32,320 --> 01:24:34,400
Speaker 1: when they got out of their driveway or when they

1598
01:24:34,439 --> 01:24:36,760
Speaker 1: were walking out of their driveway. I know we saw

1599
01:24:36,920 --> 01:24:40,840
Speaker 1: videos of Tyrell Dodson and Devin Singletary walking a quarter

1600
01:24:40,960 --> 01:24:43,080
Speaker 1: of a mile to get to a street where a

1601
01:24:43,160 --> 01:24:46,559
Speaker 1: car could be there at least drivable to help pick

1602
01:24:46,640 --> 01:24:51,000
Speaker 1: them up. So Bill's Mafia, our staff, our players really

1603
01:24:51,080 --> 01:24:53,120
Speaker 1: went the extra mile to make sure this game was

1604
01:24:53,200 --> 01:24:55,800
Speaker 1: played and to make sure our players got there in time.

1605
01:24:55,840 --> 01:24:58,479
Speaker 1: It was crazy what this team went through this week.

1606
01:24:58,760 --> 01:25:01,840
Speaker 1: You know, missing practice because there were a lot of

1607
01:25:01,920 --> 01:25:04,280
Speaker 1: illnesses on the team. They couldn't even have a full

1608
01:25:04,360 --> 01:25:07,519
Speaker 1: practice on Wednesday, and then their Friday practice is kind

1609
01:25:07,520 --> 01:25:10,160
Speaker 1: of a wash because of the weather. And now they're

1610
01:25:10,200 --> 01:25:12,200
Speaker 1: on a short week this week and next week. So

1611
01:25:12,320 --> 01:25:14,680
Speaker 1: in the next three weeks for this team, it's going

1612
01:25:14,760 --> 01:25:16,439
Speaker 1: to be a big test for them to see how

1613
01:25:16,520 --> 01:25:19,080
Speaker 1: they can prepare after what they just went through. So

1614
01:25:19,400 --> 01:25:22,360
Speaker 1: kudos to Bills Mafia, to the sports staff, and for

1615
01:25:22,479 --> 01:25:26,000
Speaker 1: everybody just riding with this team the last couple of

1616
01:25:26,080 --> 01:25:29,920
Speaker 1: days into yesterday. Good stuff, Maddie. In fact, I was

1617
01:25:29,920 --> 01:25:32,400
Speaker 1: gonna say Spencer Brown didn't even own a snow shovel.

1618
01:25:32,479 --> 01:25:34,400
Speaker 1: Some of these guys got crime. They got caught with

1619
01:25:34,479 --> 01:25:36,640
Speaker 1: their pants name. What do they do know them? I

1620
01:25:36,760 --> 01:25:39,800
Speaker 1: know the video team, I know the video team for Buffalovills.

1621
01:25:39,800 --> 01:25:42,720
Speaker 1: Dot Com ran the thing where they put a snowbrush

1622
01:25:42,760 --> 01:25:44,800
Speaker 1: in a lot of these guys hands right and ask

1623
01:25:44,880 --> 01:25:47,200
Speaker 1: them to identify, like what is this and half of

1624
01:25:47,240 --> 01:25:53,519
Speaker 1: them guests shovel, which is embarrassing. It's unbelievable. So we

1625
01:25:53,640 --> 01:25:56,800
Speaker 1: got some guys. Yeah, there's baby steps, I guess. I mean,

1626
01:25:56,840 --> 01:25:59,080
Speaker 1: they don't cover that in training camp. It's gonna have

1627
01:25:59,200 --> 01:26:03,040
Speaker 1: to be part of their orientation here, I think going forward. Maddie,

1628
01:26:03,120 --> 01:26:05,320
Speaker 1: great stuff, Thanks for coming on. It's great seeing you again.

1629
01:26:06,680 --> 01:26:08,400
Speaker 1: All right, see later, guys, have a good rest to

1630
01:26:08,479 --> 01:26:10,680
Speaker 1: your show. All right. That's the Mattie Awards, presented by

1631
01:26:10,800 --> 01:26:13,479
Speaker 1: Energy Mark, the official energy supplier to the Buffalo Bills.

1632
01:26:13,800 --> 01:26:16,160
Speaker 1: Steve and I will take a break. When we come back,

1633
01:26:16,200 --> 01:26:18,880
Speaker 1: we'll see if we can squeeze in a call or two.

1634
01:26:19,560 --> 01:26:21,960
Speaker 1: And we've got plenty more on the horizon for you,

1635
01:26:22,080 --> 01:26:26,400
Speaker 1: including one Eric Wood in our number three and maybe

1636
01:26:27,160 --> 01:26:29,800
Speaker 1: some comments from one Head coach Sean McDermott, who was

1637
01:26:29,800 --> 01:26:34,160
Speaker 1: scheduled to address the media earlier than usual here on Monday.

1638
01:26:34,680 --> 01:26:37,280
Speaker 1: Ton more coming your way here on One Bill's Lot.

1639
01:26:43,000 --> 01:26:45,040
Speaker 1: All right, welcome back to One Bill's Live. Time for

1640
01:26:45,160 --> 01:26:47,599
Speaker 1: us to go around the locker room presented by connect Life,

1641
01:26:47,640 --> 01:26:52,760
Speaker 1: your blood and organ donor network, and Josh Allen was

1642
01:26:53,400 --> 01:26:56,800
Speaker 1: very grateful to the help he received along with those

1643
01:26:56,840 --> 01:26:59,920
Speaker 1: of his teammates and the Bill's staff to get everybody

1644
01:27:00,240 --> 01:27:04,160
Speaker 1: on buses to the airport and out to Detroit. Here

1645
01:27:04,360 --> 01:27:06,400
Speaker 1: was the Bill's quarterback on the efforts to get the

1646
01:27:06,479 --> 01:27:09,519
Speaker 1: team to the Motor City in time for Sunday's game

1647
01:27:09,560 --> 01:27:14,760
Speaker 1: against the Browns. That took a whole organization to be

1648
01:27:14,840 --> 01:27:17,640
Speaker 1: able to switch switch the game plan that fast and

1649
01:27:17,920 --> 01:27:20,519
Speaker 1: get us here. And you know, the neighbors and the

1650
01:27:20,560 --> 01:27:23,559
Speaker 1: good people of Buffalo helping teammates, you know, dig out

1651
01:27:23,600 --> 01:27:25,439
Speaker 1: of their driveways and allowing them to get their cars

1652
01:27:25,479 --> 01:27:26,800
Speaker 1: out so they can make it to the facility so

1653
01:27:26,880 --> 01:27:28,840
Speaker 1: we can get on the plane to come here. So, um,

1654
01:27:29,600 --> 01:27:33,280
Speaker 1: obviously crazy week, didn't practice Friday, you know, uh, small

1655
01:27:33,320 --> 01:27:36,679
Speaker 1: practice Wednesday with some guys out. It's not your typical

1656
01:27:37,200 --> 01:27:40,000
Speaker 1: typical week. But um, got some resilient guys on this team,

1657
01:27:40,040 --> 01:27:42,439
Speaker 1: Guys that care about each other through things the right way.

1658
01:27:43,000 --> 01:27:45,360
Speaker 1: And uh, you know we play again here in four days,

1659
01:27:45,400 --> 01:27:47,120
Speaker 1: so we had to get home, make sure we get

1660
01:27:47,200 --> 01:27:49,720
Speaker 1: some rest, recover, the way we need to recover and

1661
01:27:49,880 --> 01:27:54,800
Speaker 1: be ready to go again. Yeah, big, big effort here

1662
01:27:54,920 --> 01:27:57,600
Speaker 1: was saying it was a trying week. It seems like

1663
01:27:57,760 --> 01:27:59,720
Speaker 1: it's not a big because we all we all get

1664
01:27:59,800 --> 01:28:03,400
Speaker 1: used to doing it. These guys really needed someone, really

1665
01:28:03,439 --> 01:28:06,080
Speaker 1: needed some help. And you got to think too, and

1666
01:28:06,160 --> 01:28:09,720
Speaker 1: I've been there. You got guys. I mean, you know,

1667
01:28:09,840 --> 01:28:11,559
Speaker 1: Trey White's kind of trying to get on this trip.

1668
01:28:11,680 --> 01:28:14,719
Speaker 1: He just they just had a baby like ten days

1669
01:28:14,800 --> 01:28:19,799
Speaker 1: ago and so a week ago. Yeah, so they're snowed

1670
01:28:19,880 --> 01:28:23,320
Speaker 1: in and it's precarious enough, Like it's what happen if

1671
01:28:23,320 --> 01:28:27,160
Speaker 1: there's an emergency. What are you going to do? Throw somebody?

1672
01:28:27,200 --> 01:28:29,920
Speaker 1: Fireman's carry him through four feet of snow to get him.

1673
01:28:30,120 --> 01:28:31,840
Speaker 1: I mean, that's Austin Knox was telling me. He was

1674
01:28:31,880 --> 01:28:34,559
Speaker 1: carrying a suitcase over his head right to walk out

1675
01:28:34,600 --> 01:28:36,760
Speaker 1: of his property and out to the street. That's right.

1676
01:28:36,800 --> 01:28:40,200
Speaker 1: So it's a real thing, and they some of these

1677
01:28:40,280 --> 01:28:42,559
Speaker 1: guys really needed help. As good a football players there,

1678
01:28:42,560 --> 01:28:45,639
Speaker 1: as big and strong and athletic as they are, they're

1679
01:28:45,720 --> 01:28:49,000
Speaker 1: leaving families behind, and support systems behind, and people they

1680
01:28:49,080 --> 01:28:51,400
Speaker 1: love and care about behind. And those people aren't all

1681
01:28:51,479 --> 01:28:57,360
Speaker 1: that comfy being by themselves, so wives and girlfriends and

1682
01:28:57,520 --> 01:29:00,960
Speaker 1: family members and all of that. So it's it's not nothing.

1683
01:29:01,479 --> 01:29:05,200
Speaker 1: We've all seen it. So and the whole organization had

1684
01:29:05,240 --> 01:29:07,439
Speaker 1: to jump on board. They had to, I mean to

1685
01:29:07,560 --> 01:29:09,320
Speaker 1: sit down and just start calling guys on the list

1686
01:29:09,360 --> 01:29:12,639
Speaker 1: and say, hey, what is it you need to get here? Yea,

1687
01:29:12,880 --> 01:29:18,120
Speaker 1: And sometimes they just didn't know yeah, or it changed.

1688
01:29:19,200 --> 01:29:24,320
Speaker 1: Dion Dawkins was a happy guy with respect to Buffalo's

1689
01:29:24,400 --> 01:29:26,800
Speaker 1: run game, as it looked maybe the best it has

1690
01:29:26,880 --> 01:29:30,360
Speaker 1: all season in terms of down in and down out consistency.

1691
01:29:31,000 --> 01:29:36,120
Speaker 1: It helped Buffalo score on seven consecutive possessions. Here is

1692
01:29:36,240 --> 01:29:38,559
Speaker 1: the Bill's left tackle on their success in the run

1693
01:29:38,640 --> 01:29:42,599
Speaker 1: game against Cleveland. This is a play call man like motor,

1694
01:29:43,240 --> 01:29:46,920
Speaker 1: you know. Cook. They had their mindset that they're gonna

1695
01:29:46,960 --> 01:29:49,320
Speaker 1: do it, and we had our like mindset that we're

1696
01:29:49,320 --> 01:29:52,479
Speaker 1: gonna do it as well. And you know, it takes

1697
01:29:52,520 --> 01:29:54,519
Speaker 1: two to tangle, you know, the old line and then

1698
01:29:54,680 --> 01:29:57,200
Speaker 1: the running backs. So we were all on the on

1699
01:29:57,320 --> 01:29:59,519
Speaker 1: the same page. And not to say that those other

1700
01:29:59,560 --> 01:30:02,040
Speaker 1: times we weren't, but you know, it was just it

1701
01:30:02,120 --> 01:30:04,719
Speaker 1: was just a beautiful bay. I think we've talked about

1702
01:30:04,840 --> 01:30:07,439
Speaker 1: enough about the run game today to know, you know

1703
01:30:07,840 --> 01:30:10,439
Speaker 1: what said, he has been said, and what's been done

1704
01:30:10,479 --> 01:30:12,639
Speaker 1: has been done. I think you just hope it continues

1705
01:30:12,720 --> 01:30:15,200
Speaker 1: this week against a run defense that's one of the

1706
01:30:15,280 --> 01:30:19,120
Speaker 1: worst in football in the Detroit Lions. It might be

1707
01:30:19,240 --> 01:30:21,200
Speaker 1: something to turn to again and you really might be

1708
01:30:21,240 --> 01:30:23,519
Speaker 1: able to make some hay and set up some things

1709
01:30:23,560 --> 01:30:25,560
Speaker 1: in the past game as a result forced them to

1710
01:30:25,640 --> 01:30:27,640
Speaker 1: put it in the box or something like that, and

1711
01:30:27,720 --> 01:30:29,600
Speaker 1: then start picking people apart on the back end. That

1712
01:30:29,640 --> 01:30:31,640
Speaker 1: would be nice to see. I still think, I mean,

1713
01:30:31,720 --> 01:30:34,200
Speaker 1: you go out there, I still think I don't think

1714
01:30:34,280 --> 01:30:36,679
Speaker 1: Josh one hundred percent with his elbow. Even the broadcast

1715
01:30:36,760 --> 01:30:40,160
Speaker 1: care yesterday Andrew and James said, you know that they

1716
01:30:40,280 --> 01:30:42,400
Speaker 1: kind of described when he throws it. When you stand

1717
01:30:42,439 --> 01:30:43,960
Speaker 1: there and throw it over the top, he's fine, but

1718
01:30:43,960 --> 01:30:45,840
Speaker 1: when he starts to side armor, like when we saw

1719
01:30:45,920 --> 01:30:48,080
Speaker 1: him get injured, and that kind of it kind of

1720
01:30:48,160 --> 01:30:51,920
Speaker 1: twangs on him. So having a run game's great, so

1721
01:30:52,000 --> 01:30:55,320
Speaker 1: you don't have to drop back and cut it loose

1722
01:30:55,400 --> 01:30:59,400
Speaker 1: fifty two times in the game, you know, So having that,

1723
01:30:59,479 --> 01:31:06,599
Speaker 1: if they're just Bozal, was huge. I'm still intrigued by

1724
01:31:06,640 --> 01:31:08,280
Speaker 1: the fact that they didn't have a I don't think

1725
01:31:08,320 --> 01:31:11,080
Speaker 1: that a single cold run for Josh in the game yesterday, No,

1726
01:31:11,320 --> 01:31:14,240
Speaker 1: and protecting that elbow is probably a factor in that

1727
01:31:14,360 --> 01:31:15,800
Speaker 1: as well. And they got out with a win and

1728
01:31:15,880 --> 01:31:19,040
Speaker 1: he ran for a buck eighty one or whatever it was. Um,

1729
01:31:19,320 --> 01:31:22,720
Speaker 1: I think that's ginormous through for a buck ninety seven.

1730
01:31:22,760 --> 01:31:26,320
Speaker 1: You mean, is that what you were talking? For a

1731
01:31:26,360 --> 01:31:28,760
Speaker 1: buck ninety one without Josh having to be a part

1732
01:31:28,800 --> 01:31:32,040
Speaker 1: of it, right, that's big, really big. It's kind of weird.

1733
01:31:32,160 --> 01:31:37,120
Speaker 1: But Josh's elbow injury may very well be the catalysts

1734
01:31:37,160 --> 01:31:38,800
Speaker 1: to getting this run game where it needs to be

1735
01:31:39,120 --> 01:31:43,440
Speaker 1: out of necessity. And maybe I'm not we're just conjecturing

1736
01:31:43,439 --> 01:31:45,000
Speaker 1: because we don't know if it's good or I mean,

1737
01:31:45,040 --> 01:31:47,840
Speaker 1: it seems fine, but but there's no reason overtax it

1738
01:31:47,880 --> 01:31:50,280
Speaker 1: if you don't have to r right right, because it's

1739
01:31:50,360 --> 01:31:52,920
Speaker 1: you know, turn him loose when he's one hundred percent, yeah,

1740
01:31:53,040 --> 01:31:56,280
Speaker 1: and just win games. In the meantime, Tim Settle, one

1741
01:31:56,320 --> 01:31:58,920
Speaker 1: of the stal whets on the defensive front, wanted to

1742
01:31:59,000 --> 01:32:02,320
Speaker 1: throw some props his teammates way, namely day Kwon Jones.

1743
01:32:02,400 --> 01:32:04,920
Speaker 1: We didn't talk about this yet as good as the

1744
01:32:05,000 --> 01:32:08,400
Speaker 1: special teams was on returns with Niheem Hinz and on

1745
01:32:08,600 --> 01:32:11,240
Speaker 1: field goals with Tyler Bass. There was another player in

1746
01:32:11,320 --> 01:32:14,000
Speaker 1: that equation, day Kwon Jones with the block field goal.

1747
01:32:14,080 --> 01:32:17,200
Speaker 1: Here's Tim Settle on that we talk about every week.

1748
01:32:17,280 --> 01:32:19,880
Speaker 1: We almost blocked one every week, you know, and when

1749
01:32:19,880 --> 01:32:22,000
Speaker 1: you when you get when you give it all at

1750
01:32:22,120 --> 01:32:24,920
Speaker 1: at blocking the field goal at each week, one's gonna come,

1751
01:32:25,160 --> 01:32:26,920
Speaker 1: you know. Uh. And I don't think that's gonna be

1752
01:32:26,960 --> 01:32:28,560
Speaker 1: our last one either, you know, because we we we

1753
01:32:28,760 --> 01:32:30,960
Speaker 1: make sure we get out there. Uh we almost blocking

1754
01:32:31,360 --> 01:32:34,840
Speaker 1: every time if you watch almost the everytime. So I'm

1755
01:32:34,840 --> 01:32:36,720
Speaker 1: happy that he was able to fall in and and

1756
01:32:36,840 --> 01:32:38,759
Speaker 1: he was able to get the blockings. It was amazing.

1757
01:32:38,800 --> 01:32:41,000
Speaker 1: It was a big time play. It was definitely a

1758
01:32:41,040 --> 01:32:44,240
Speaker 1: game change in moment. Yeah, it was a momentum shifter

1759
01:32:44,439 --> 01:32:45,960
Speaker 1: for sure. Let me give you let me give some

1760
01:32:46,080 --> 01:32:48,639
Speaker 1: insight as to how this kind of goes down. When

1761
01:32:48,680 --> 01:32:50,760
Speaker 1: you watch film every week and you see these other

1762
01:32:50,880 --> 01:32:55,360
Speaker 1: teams and you get a team like like yesterday, um,

1763
01:32:55,640 --> 01:32:58,639
Speaker 1: where the Minnesota Vikings are getting there, you know, heads

1764
01:32:58,720 --> 01:33:01,920
Speaker 1: caved in by the Cowboys, all of that in that game.

1765
01:33:02,080 --> 01:33:04,040
Speaker 1: You go back and watch the film The All twenty two.

1766
01:33:04,080 --> 01:33:06,240
Speaker 1: If you want to see how how committed a team is,

1767
01:33:06,320 --> 01:33:09,320
Speaker 1: how really good they are, you watch a Minnesota Vikings

1768
01:33:09,400 --> 01:33:13,920
Speaker 1: team rush an extra point when they're down forty nothing.

1769
01:33:15,840 --> 01:33:17,840
Speaker 1: Some teams just kind of get up and lean on

1770
01:33:17,920 --> 01:33:22,360
Speaker 1: the guys that other teams even then they are striving

1771
01:33:22,439 --> 01:33:26,599
Speaker 1: to try and block that thing. It is the barrassed

1772
01:33:26,680 --> 01:33:30,400
Speaker 1: Bones litmus test for how hard a team is playing

1773
01:33:30,800 --> 01:33:33,280
Speaker 1: when they're down big and there's an extra point up?

1774
01:33:33,960 --> 01:33:38,000
Speaker 1: Do they rush hard? Even then? The Bills obviously too.

1775
01:33:39,560 --> 01:33:41,760
Speaker 1: They you know, they keep they keep bringing it. You

1776
01:33:41,760 --> 01:33:43,479
Speaker 1: can see Tim Suttle, they're talking about it in the film,

1777
01:33:43,560 --> 01:33:45,640
Speaker 1: is going we almost get one. Every we're gonna get one.

1778
01:33:45,640 --> 01:33:48,240
Speaker 1: You know that's a one We're gonna get one, you

1779
01:33:48,320 --> 01:33:50,759
Speaker 1: know that kind of thing. So it is a really

1780
01:33:52,400 --> 01:33:56,120
Speaker 1: really accurate test of where a team's mentality is at

1781
01:33:56,160 --> 01:33:58,599
Speaker 1: that moment. And when you see a team who's down

1782
01:33:58,640 --> 01:34:00,800
Speaker 1: big or whatever and they're still rushing that extra point,

1783
01:34:01,400 --> 01:34:04,240
Speaker 1: it's big. It's really big. It says something about their culture,

1784
01:34:04,320 --> 01:34:07,439
Speaker 1: about their character, about their coaching staff, their leadership, their

1785
01:34:07,479 --> 01:34:11,880
Speaker 1: player leadership. Everything that's it's a big thing that is

1786
01:34:11,920 --> 01:34:14,920
Speaker 1: around the locker Room presented by Connect Life, your blood

1787
01:34:15,000 --> 01:34:18,439
Speaker 1: and organ donor network. We take a break here. When

1788
01:34:18,520 --> 01:34:22,200
Speaker 1: we return, it's Eric Wood, Bills radio color analyst, joining

1789
01:34:22,320 --> 01:34:25,120
Speaker 1: us next for his weekly appearance on a Buffalo Football

1790
01:34:25,280 --> 01:35:12,240
Speaker 1: victory Monday. Next on One Bill's Live. These One Bill's

1791
01:35:12,320 --> 01:35:16,960
Speaker 1: Live presented by Come Light a health our number three

1792
01:35:17,080 --> 01:35:21,000
Speaker 1: on a Buffalo football victory Monday. Chris Brown, Steve Tasker

1793
01:35:21,120 --> 01:35:23,439
Speaker 1: with you, and we bring in now the man who

1794
01:35:23,520 --> 01:35:27,960
Speaker 1: joins us every Monday when loser draw. It is Bill's

1795
01:35:28,040 --> 01:35:31,800
Speaker 1: radio color analyst Eric Wood joining us on the line here.

1796
01:35:31,960 --> 01:35:35,240
Speaker 1: And Eric, who would have thought that it would be

1797
01:35:35,360 --> 01:35:38,880
Speaker 1: easier for you to get to a relocated home game

1798
01:35:38,960 --> 01:35:41,559
Speaker 1: than it would be for us? Talk about a heavy lift,

1799
01:35:41,640 --> 01:35:44,080
Speaker 1: but they pulled it off. You just jumped in the car.

1800
01:35:44,360 --> 01:35:46,280
Speaker 1: Not that a five hour drive is easy either, but

1801
01:35:46,600 --> 01:35:51,519
Speaker 1: nonetheless you you got there unscathed. Yeah, I mean, with

1802
01:35:52,080 --> 01:35:56,240
Speaker 1: flight delays and cancelations nowadays, regardless of whether a five

1803
01:35:56,320 --> 01:36:00,200
Speaker 1: hour drive is right in my wheelhouse, almost any week,

1804
01:36:00,240 --> 01:36:02,840
Speaker 1: I'll take that. But as far as the effort by

1805
01:36:03,760 --> 01:36:08,120
Speaker 1: the community, the staff, the players, the coaches, everybody involved

1806
01:36:08,120 --> 01:36:12,440
Speaker 1: in the organization to get that game moved and essentially

1807
01:36:13,720 --> 01:36:16,519
Speaker 1: you know, running at one o'clock on Sunday and not

1808
01:36:16,640 --> 01:36:19,080
Speaker 1: even get delayed, not even have to push the game back,

1809
01:36:19,240 --> 01:36:23,479
Speaker 1: is incredible. And I think if they didn't have the

1810
01:36:23,760 --> 01:36:26,360
Speaker 1: Thursday night, or if they didn't have the Thursday Thanksgiving game,

1811
01:36:26,400 --> 01:36:28,000
Speaker 1: I think all indications would have been that the game

1812
01:36:28,040 --> 01:36:30,679
Speaker 1: would have been moved to Monday. Maybe Tuesday still likely

1813
01:36:30,760 --> 01:36:35,120
Speaker 1: have been relocated, but to a different day. Having that

1814
01:36:35,240 --> 01:36:37,880
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving game, already having the bye week, there was nothing

1815
01:36:38,000 --> 01:36:40,280
Speaker 1: to do, and so all hands went on deck. And

1816
01:36:40,400 --> 01:36:44,559
Speaker 1: I've heard stories about ron Riculia and Derek Boko going

1817
01:36:44,600 --> 01:36:47,280
Speaker 1: and getting out Dion Dawkins and so many others. But

1818
01:36:48,200 --> 01:36:51,760
Speaker 1: incredible effort. Maybe led to a rusty start because the

1819
01:36:51,840 --> 01:36:54,639
Speaker 1: focus was on so much other than football throughout the week,

1820
01:36:55,080 --> 01:36:57,759
Speaker 1: but the Bills turned it around. Yeah, there's no question

1821
01:36:57,840 --> 01:37:00,240
Speaker 1: they got off to a slow start, particularly offense lee

1822
01:37:00,320 --> 01:37:04,080
Speaker 1: and defensively as well. I mean that the opening drive

1823
01:37:04,160 --> 01:37:06,880
Speaker 1: went down, but after that, man, it really looked like

1824
01:37:07,000 --> 01:37:10,120
Speaker 1: the Bills flexed. I mean, they came out and ran

1825
01:37:10,240 --> 01:37:14,040
Speaker 1: the football. They got physical upfront. Josh did what he

1826
01:37:14,120 --> 01:37:16,120
Speaker 1: needed to do. He was six through you know, two

1827
01:37:16,240 --> 01:37:19,520
Speaker 1: thirds of his passes were completed, had a touchdown, no interceptions.

1828
01:37:19,600 --> 01:37:21,479
Speaker 1: They just really went in there and it was just

1829
01:37:21,600 --> 01:37:27,120
Speaker 1: a workman like win, it was, and there didn't seem

1830
01:37:27,200 --> 01:37:30,000
Speaker 1: to be really any panic, and I didn't feel it

1831
01:37:30,080 --> 01:37:32,360
Speaker 1: as well as we were calling the game. The Bills

1832
01:37:32,400 --> 01:37:36,080
Speaker 1: were down by seven points and they're getting the ball

1833
01:37:36,160 --> 01:37:38,519
Speaker 1: back before the half, and I said on the broadcast,

1834
01:37:38,680 --> 01:37:40,720
Speaker 1: this is where good teams go to. For one, they

1835
01:37:40,760 --> 01:37:43,040
Speaker 1: take the lead against the team that they're an eight

1836
01:37:43,080 --> 01:37:45,400
Speaker 1: point favorite against and they run away with it. That's

1837
01:37:45,560 --> 01:37:47,439
Speaker 1: that's what good teams do. They end up getting ten

1838
01:37:47,520 --> 01:37:51,519
Speaker 1: points in that exchange there, and you know, they kept

1839
01:37:51,560 --> 01:37:56,200
Speaker 1: their foot on the gas and so impressive for the

1840
01:37:56,320 --> 01:37:59,200
Speaker 1: Bills to kind of regroup get back on track. But

1841
01:37:59,560 --> 01:38:01,960
Speaker 1: that's what good teams do. And you know, you mentioned

1842
01:38:02,040 --> 01:38:04,040
Speaker 1: Josh Allen did what he had to do yesterday, and

1843
01:38:04,200 --> 01:38:06,880
Speaker 1: yesterday was not a day that that Cleveland offense was

1844
01:38:06,880 --> 01:38:08,679
Speaker 1: gonna put up so many points that Josh was gonna

1845
01:38:08,680 --> 01:38:10,160
Speaker 1: have to light it up through the air and go

1846
01:38:10,640 --> 01:38:12,840
Speaker 1: toe to toe with anybody on the opposite team. And

1847
01:38:12,920 --> 01:38:16,080
Speaker 1: so he took what the defense gave him. Now, at

1848
01:38:16,200 --> 01:38:18,800
Speaker 1: times he seemed almost a little too cautious to pull

1849
01:38:18,880 --> 01:38:21,760
Speaker 1: the trigger, which can happen when everybody around you is

1850
01:38:21,840 --> 01:38:24,559
Speaker 1: talking about the only thing holding back this Bill's team

1851
01:38:24,640 --> 01:38:27,280
Speaker 1: are the turnovers right now that can happen from everybody.

1852
01:38:27,640 --> 01:38:30,479
Speaker 1: Maybe a ball carrier, instead of breaking away, just keeps

1853
01:38:30,520 --> 01:38:32,719
Speaker 1: two hands on the ball because he's so worried about

1854
01:38:32,800 --> 01:38:35,639
Speaker 1: maybe coughing it up at Devin Singletary in particular. Maybe

1855
01:38:35,680 --> 01:38:38,120
Speaker 1: it's Josh being a little shot pulling the trigger down

1856
01:38:38,160 --> 01:38:40,479
Speaker 1: the field, but in a game against Cleveland they were

1857
01:38:40,520 --> 01:38:44,679
Speaker 1: able to still execute without it. I just I'm still

1858
01:38:44,720 --> 01:38:47,719
Speaker 1: a little scarred from playing in such a long streak

1859
01:38:47,760 --> 01:38:50,320
Speaker 1: of Buffalo over a hundred starts for quarterbacks without a

1860
01:38:50,360 --> 01:38:53,280
Speaker 1: three hundred yard passing game. I never want my quarterback

1861
01:38:53,360 --> 01:38:56,560
Speaker 1: to be too cautious with the football. But you know,

1862
01:38:56,600 --> 01:38:58,639
Speaker 1: when you talk about how good this roster is, especially

1863
01:38:58,640 --> 01:39:01,000
Speaker 1: a game like yesterday, they didn't need to be overly aggressive.

1864
01:39:02,120 --> 01:39:04,960
Speaker 1: I want to know if you believe that the way

1865
01:39:05,000 --> 01:39:10,400
Speaker 1: in which the Bills won can booie Josh Allen's psyche

1866
01:39:10,680 --> 01:39:14,280
Speaker 1: and convince him that this team is capable of winning

1867
01:39:14,320 --> 01:39:16,599
Speaker 1: in different ways where it doesn't have to be Josh

1868
01:39:16,680 --> 01:39:19,880
Speaker 1: throwing for three fifty three touchdowns and running for sixty

1869
01:39:19,960 --> 01:39:23,800
Speaker 1: yards for them to win a football game. Yeah, well, one,

1870
01:39:23,840 --> 01:39:25,599
Speaker 1: I think it's a great sign that they were able

1871
01:39:25,640 --> 01:39:28,160
Speaker 1: to prove that and, if anything, prove it to themselves

1872
01:39:28,240 --> 01:39:29,960
Speaker 1: and prove it to a few other teams around the

1873
01:39:30,040 --> 01:39:32,000
Speaker 1: league that want to say, hey, we'll keep our safeties high,

1874
01:39:32,000 --> 01:39:34,320
Speaker 1: we're gonna try and bait you into a bad decision

1875
01:39:34,400 --> 01:39:37,960
Speaker 1: down the field. And so, you know, I think they

1876
01:39:38,080 --> 01:39:40,360
Speaker 1: proved to themselves yesterday that if they need to rely

1877
01:39:40,479 --> 01:39:43,400
Speaker 1: on that run game, they can. And you know, Devin

1878
01:39:43,479 --> 01:39:45,519
Speaker 1: Singletary for about a five game stretch now, is put

1879
01:39:45,560 --> 01:39:47,720
Speaker 1: together some really good football. In the second half of

1880
01:39:47,800 --> 01:39:50,360
Speaker 1: last season, he played great ball as well, and so

1881
01:39:51,200 --> 01:39:53,559
Speaker 1: I kind of knew what we should and could get

1882
01:39:53,640 --> 01:39:55,920
Speaker 1: from Devin Singletary as the year went on. To me,

1883
01:39:56,160 --> 01:40:01,000
Speaker 1: James Cook yesterday was really impressive, and in particular, I

1884
01:40:01,080 --> 01:40:03,840
Speaker 1: thought his first run of the game, he missed a

1885
01:40:04,120 --> 01:40:07,240
Speaker 1: monster cut that was an easy first down. The Bills

1886
01:40:07,360 --> 01:40:10,040
Speaker 1: desperately needed a first down at that point of the game,

1887
01:40:10,400 --> 01:40:14,160
Speaker 1: and you know, he goes right into Gilliam's block for

1888
01:40:14,280 --> 01:40:16,720
Speaker 1: a no gain on something that could have been out

1889
01:40:16,800 --> 01:40:19,360
Speaker 1: the gate. Well, I love the fact that Ken Dorsey,

1890
01:40:19,360 --> 01:40:21,160
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott and the rest of the staff didn't go

1891
01:40:21,240 --> 01:40:23,120
Speaker 1: away from him for the rest of the game and

1892
01:40:23,160 --> 01:40:25,719
Speaker 1: actually gave him more carries than he's used to getting,

1893
01:40:26,040 --> 01:40:29,640
Speaker 1: gave him the snaps and to me, James Cook, the

1894
01:40:29,720 --> 01:40:32,800
Speaker 1: way he runs the zone, there were some traps encounters.

1895
01:40:33,400 --> 01:40:38,160
Speaker 1: I was just very impressed with how he's developed throughout

1896
01:40:38,200 --> 01:40:41,080
Speaker 1: the season. Is kind of a natural runner back there.

1897
01:40:41,800 --> 01:40:43,920
Speaker 1: You mentioned earlier on when the Bills get offered the

1898
01:40:43,920 --> 01:40:46,400
Speaker 1: slow start that there was no panic, and then we

1899
01:40:46,520 --> 01:40:51,160
Speaker 1: saw on the broadcast we saw Steph Diggs, you know,

1900
01:40:51,280 --> 01:40:54,400
Speaker 1: in a face to face kind of emotional interchange with

1901
01:40:54,520 --> 01:40:58,120
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott, and but neither Brownie and I think that's

1902
01:40:58,120 --> 01:41:00,040
Speaker 1: anything that's festering round. I think it was just a

1903
01:41:00,080 --> 01:41:04,479
Speaker 1: little frustration and how the day was going and and he,

1904
01:41:04,720 --> 01:41:08,439
Speaker 1: you know, Steph's going, hey, they throwing me the ball,

1905
01:41:08,600 --> 01:41:11,880
Speaker 1: you know. So I don't think it's anything selfish or

1906
01:41:11,880 --> 01:41:16,200
Speaker 1: anything that's festering, but it does speak to, you know,

1907
01:41:16,280 --> 01:41:18,519
Speaker 1: how strong a grip Sean has on this team, and

1908
01:41:18,640 --> 01:41:22,920
Speaker 1: also how hard a competitor, great competitor Steph is. Yeah,

1909
01:41:23,040 --> 01:41:25,160
Speaker 1: he is, and he shows up every week and you

1910
01:41:25,240 --> 01:41:27,080
Speaker 1: know he expects to take the game over and that's

1911
01:41:27,080 --> 01:41:30,160
Speaker 1: how I want my wide receivers. I had two buddies

1912
01:41:30,160 --> 01:41:33,040
Speaker 1: from Louisville drive up to the game with me on

1913
01:41:33,680 --> 01:41:35,720
Speaker 1: Saturday and then back with me last night, and they

1914
01:41:35,840 --> 01:41:38,200
Speaker 1: noticed the same thing from Digs that he looked visibly

1915
01:41:38,280 --> 01:41:40,840
Speaker 1: frustrated throughout the game. And I said, yeah, when you're

1916
01:41:40,840 --> 01:41:43,040
Speaker 1: a receiver and you're used to producing at the level

1917
01:41:43,120 --> 01:41:44,920
Speaker 1: he does each and every week and getting the amount

1918
01:41:44,920 --> 01:41:47,360
Speaker 1: of targets he does, it is going to be frustrating

1919
01:41:47,439 --> 01:41:49,920
Speaker 1: for you. And that's okay. That's okay as long as

1920
01:41:49,920 --> 01:41:52,599
Speaker 1: it doesn't linger after the game. I've heard some stories

1921
01:41:52,680 --> 01:41:55,840
Speaker 1: from former teammates of yours, Steve, about how you know

1922
01:41:56,000 --> 01:41:58,400
Speaker 1: the ball could only go around to so many people

1923
01:41:58,439 --> 01:42:00,320
Speaker 1: in that locker room when you're talking about that Hall

1924
01:42:00,320 --> 01:42:04,360
Speaker 1: of famers, in Superstars and Pro Bowlers, it is what

1925
01:42:04,479 --> 01:42:06,400
Speaker 1: it is. The ball can only go around. And how

1926
01:42:06,640 --> 01:42:10,479
Speaker 1: maybe uh guys wearing eighties numbers weren't always happy after

1927
01:42:10,560 --> 01:42:15,320
Speaker 1: that game. But that's okay, Layers, and I'll just say it. Yeah,

1928
01:42:15,360 --> 01:42:17,639
Speaker 1: Andre liked the football, no question about it. But that's

1929
01:42:17,680 --> 01:42:19,599
Speaker 1: the way it is. That and Thurmo was the same

1930
01:42:19,680 --> 01:42:22,479
Speaker 1: way too. They all want to contribute, they want a

1931
01:42:22,560 --> 01:42:25,720
Speaker 1: chance to help, even if they're not scoring touchdown. They

1932
01:42:25,840 --> 01:42:27,840
Speaker 1: want a chance to play and be a part of

1933
01:42:27,880 --> 01:42:30,240
Speaker 1: it and to contribute. And that's what the bottom line.

1934
01:42:30,280 --> 01:42:32,680
Speaker 1: It's not about me, me, me me, It's about let

1935
01:42:32,800 --> 01:42:37,160
Speaker 1: me help, right. And you know, for a lot of

1936
01:42:37,240 --> 01:42:39,439
Speaker 1: that game, even though Cleveland play so much zone, they

1937
01:42:39,560 --> 01:42:43,120
Speaker 1: lined up um Denzil a Ward over Diggs for a

1938
01:42:43,160 --> 01:42:45,240
Speaker 1: lot of the game. You have Newsom already out of

1939
01:42:45,240 --> 01:42:47,200
Speaker 1: the game. Emerson leaves the game for part of the game.

1940
01:42:47,600 --> 01:42:50,320
Speaker 1: A lot of what this Bill's offense does is attack matchups.

1941
01:42:50,439 --> 01:42:53,400
Speaker 1: Now oftentimes they will move Digs and get him in

1942
01:42:53,439 --> 01:42:55,320
Speaker 1: the spot that they want to attack. A matchup. Well,

1943
01:42:55,360 --> 01:42:58,960
Speaker 1: a lot of those matchup yesterday, it seemed, from my perspective,

1944
01:42:59,040 --> 01:43:01,960
Speaker 1: seemed to follow more on game Davis at receiver, and

1945
01:43:02,120 --> 01:43:05,080
Speaker 1: then when Cleveland would drop out of there, Josh was

1946
01:43:05,120 --> 01:43:06,840
Speaker 1: outamant that he was going to take the checks downs,

1947
01:43:06,960 --> 01:43:09,759
Speaker 1: especially to Dawson Knox where he goes for seven catches

1948
01:43:09,760 --> 01:43:13,559
Speaker 1: and seventy yards. The run game you touched on already, Eric,

1949
01:43:14,320 --> 01:43:17,280
Speaker 1: it was the third time this season that a running

1950
01:43:17,320 --> 01:43:19,880
Speaker 1: back led this team in rushing. The Bills are three

1951
01:43:19,920 --> 01:43:25,040
Speaker 1: and oz in those games where does the running game

1952
01:43:25,160 --> 01:43:27,320
Speaker 1: go from here? Because I think there are some of

1953
01:43:27,479 --> 01:43:31,280
Speaker 1: us who are wondering, is this the week where it

1954
01:43:31,439 --> 01:43:35,200
Speaker 1: starts to materialize and then catch fire kind of the

1955
01:43:35,240 --> 01:43:38,240
Speaker 1: way it did the last month of the season last year,

1956
01:43:38,680 --> 01:43:41,639
Speaker 1: when the run game was an unstoppable force that suddenly

1957
01:43:41,800 --> 01:43:44,880
Speaker 1: was an important element of the team's attack. I'm not

1958
01:43:45,040 --> 01:43:50,040
Speaker 1: saying balance out run to pass necessarily, but the effectiveness

1959
01:43:50,479 --> 01:43:55,479
Speaker 1: was palpable yesterday. Can that continue going forward, especially against

1960
01:43:55,520 --> 01:43:59,800
Speaker 1: the Detroit run defense that's thirty first in the league. Yeah,

1961
01:44:00,000 --> 01:44:02,720
Speaker 1: definitely think it can, and it becomes a matchup deal.

1962
01:44:02,840 --> 01:44:06,320
Speaker 1: So yesterday they attacked Cleveland on the ground a lot. Well,

1963
01:44:06,360 --> 01:44:08,880
Speaker 1: Cleveland was giving up the fifth most yards per carry

1964
01:44:08,920 --> 01:44:12,080
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Their defensive tackles are not very good.

1965
01:44:12,160 --> 01:44:15,679
Speaker 1: Jadeveon Clowney runs the edge a lot, and Myles Garrett

1966
01:44:15,720 --> 01:44:17,960
Speaker 1: likes to get sacks. You know, you got defensive ends

1967
01:44:18,000 --> 01:44:19,240
Speaker 1: that like to get up the field. You don't have

1968
01:44:19,280 --> 01:44:22,120
Speaker 1: two very good defensive tackles, but those are very easy

1969
01:44:22,240 --> 01:44:24,519
Speaker 1: teams to run the football on. And I'm not trying

1970
01:44:24,560 --> 01:44:26,479
Speaker 1: to take anything away from what the Bills did on

1971
01:44:26,520 --> 01:44:28,600
Speaker 1: the ground yesterday. That's what they should have done, and

1972
01:44:28,680 --> 01:44:30,560
Speaker 1: they did and it was awesome to see. And so

1973
01:44:30,720 --> 01:44:33,599
Speaker 1: moving forward, maybe against a Lions team who also struggles

1974
01:44:33,600 --> 01:44:35,960
Speaker 1: against the run, you add more of that ind from

1975
01:44:36,000 --> 01:44:38,160
Speaker 1: week to week, and then as soon as you have

1976
01:44:38,280 --> 01:44:40,559
Speaker 1: to add another guy to the box, okay, here comes

1977
01:44:40,640 --> 01:44:44,679
Speaker 1: that Bill's passing attack again. And you know, you also

1978
01:44:44,760 --> 01:44:47,519
Speaker 1: have a first year offensive coordinator when the offense is

1979
01:44:47,560 --> 01:44:49,519
Speaker 1: similar to day balls, but you have a first year

1980
01:44:49,560 --> 01:44:52,120
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator and a new offensive line coach, and you're

1981
01:44:52,160 --> 01:44:54,800
Speaker 1: trying to figure out exactly each and every week. You're

1982
01:44:54,800 --> 01:44:58,120
Speaker 1: trying to figure out exactly what the best runs for

1983
01:44:58,200 --> 01:45:01,040
Speaker 1: this offense is going to be, whether it's specific to

1984
01:45:01,120 --> 01:45:03,760
Speaker 1: the running back, whether it's the offensive line that's in there,

1985
01:45:04,000 --> 01:45:07,040
Speaker 1: whether it's the matchup with the other team's personnel. And

1986
01:45:07,160 --> 01:45:11,280
Speaker 1: so yeah, I do think that the run games showing

1987
01:45:11,320 --> 01:45:13,760
Speaker 1: the signs that did last week, we'll pay off for

1988
01:45:13,800 --> 01:45:16,360
Speaker 1: the Bills in a number of ways throughout the rest

1989
01:45:16,360 --> 01:45:18,720
Speaker 1: of the season. All right, without getting you know, too

1990
01:45:18,800 --> 01:45:20,840
Speaker 1: far down the rabbit hole. What do you think of

1991
01:45:20,880 --> 01:45:26,880
Speaker 1: the officiating yesterday? Not very good? I mean, to me,

1992
01:45:27,400 --> 01:45:31,080
Speaker 1: it's just the inconsistency that gets me. I understand that

1993
01:45:31,240 --> 01:45:34,479
Speaker 1: some cruise and I understand within cruise there's different officials

1994
01:45:34,520 --> 01:45:35,960
Speaker 1: that are in different parts of the field, so they

1995
01:45:36,040 --> 01:45:39,000
Speaker 1: might call the game differently. But as a crew come

1996
01:45:39,080 --> 01:45:41,280
Speaker 1: into a game and say, hey, we're gonna call illegal

1997
01:45:41,360 --> 01:45:43,960
Speaker 1: contact down the field. Every time a dB touches a guy,

1998
01:45:44,600 --> 01:45:47,040
Speaker 1: if the balls in the air and there's contact, there's

1999
01:45:47,080 --> 01:45:49,320
Speaker 1: gonna be a flag. It just seems like it's so

2000
01:45:49,600 --> 01:45:52,000
Speaker 1: hit or missed this year. And you know, I'm only

2001
01:45:52,040 --> 01:45:54,439
Speaker 1: watching the Bills games every second start to finish, but

2002
01:45:54,439 --> 01:45:57,640
Speaker 1: I watch enough NFL football that it just seems so

2003
01:45:57,920 --> 01:46:01,719
Speaker 1: inconsistent in any time hits the ground and a running

2004
01:46:01,760 --> 01:46:04,680
Speaker 1: back goes past him, it's a flag. That's part of

2005
01:46:04,760 --> 01:46:07,600
Speaker 1: the reason. You know, we talk about the rules that

2006
01:46:07,720 --> 01:46:10,240
Speaker 1: favor the passing game now well, I also feel like

2007
01:46:10,360 --> 01:46:13,320
Speaker 1: the way they officiate the run game nowadays hurts the

2008
01:46:13,400 --> 01:46:16,439
Speaker 1: teams that run the football as well. We've gotten away

2009
01:46:16,560 --> 01:46:18,559
Speaker 1: from a great block, and I talked to Aaron Krummer

2010
01:46:18,560 --> 01:46:21,120
Speaker 1: about this two weeks ago. We've gotten away from a

2011
01:46:21,240 --> 01:46:23,320
Speaker 1: really good block is putting a guy on the back

2012
01:46:23,360 --> 01:46:28,240
Speaker 1: of his head. To a great block is getting extension

2013
01:46:28,439 --> 01:46:30,720
Speaker 1: as the ball carrier goes past you, and that guy

2014
01:46:30,920 --> 01:46:34,839
Speaker 1: not leaving his feet because as you extend, you're showing

2015
01:46:34,920 --> 01:46:39,000
Speaker 1: the referees. I'm not holding this guy, and there's no

2016
01:46:39,120 --> 01:46:41,080
Speaker 1: way of torking him in that moment, and there's no

2017
01:46:41,160 --> 01:46:43,599
Speaker 1: way of him flailing his arms and pretending like you are.

2018
01:46:44,040 --> 01:46:46,639
Speaker 1: And it's just like we've had to change how offensive

2019
01:46:46,680 --> 01:46:49,439
Speaker 1: line and even run block nowadays because of how the officials,

2020
01:46:49,800 --> 01:46:51,840
Speaker 1: how the officials call it, and so I thought it

2021
01:46:51,920 --> 01:46:55,680
Speaker 1: was inconsistent. Again line a scrimmage battle, even on the

2022
01:46:55,760 --> 01:46:58,960
Speaker 1: defensive side, was very good, particularly for the men up front.

2023
01:46:59,400 --> 01:47:03,880
Speaker 1: I mean Tim Settle, de Kwon Jones, Jordan Phillips, and

2024
01:47:04,120 --> 01:47:06,360
Speaker 1: Oliver looked like he was getting shot out of a

2025
01:47:06,439 --> 01:47:08,840
Speaker 1: cannon yesterday in terms of penetration and getting up the

2026
01:47:08,880 --> 01:47:14,120
Speaker 1: field tackles for loss. They rendered Nick Chubb a non

2027
01:47:14,280 --> 01:47:18,479
Speaker 1: factor in this game. How impressive was that for you?

2028
01:47:19,680 --> 01:47:22,080
Speaker 1: It was awesome? And in all week, if you watched

2029
01:47:22,080 --> 01:47:24,960
Speaker 1: the ESPN or NFL network, they talked about, you know,

2030
01:47:25,120 --> 01:47:27,760
Speaker 1: the Browns will cover, you know, because the Bills can't

2031
01:47:27,760 --> 01:47:30,479
Speaker 1: stop the run. And I'm not saying those guys don't

2032
01:47:30,520 --> 01:47:32,680
Speaker 1: watch every second of Bills football like we do, but

2033
01:47:33,439 --> 01:47:36,519
Speaker 1: you know, the Dalvin Cook yards per carry is very

2034
01:47:36,680 --> 01:47:41,720
Speaker 1: skewed injuries have impacted a couple of games where the

2035
01:47:41,800 --> 01:47:44,519
Speaker 1: rushing totals were maybe higher than they maybe should have been.

2036
01:47:45,000 --> 01:47:48,000
Speaker 1: And so that being said, they didn't let Chubb pop

2037
01:47:48,120 --> 01:47:51,240
Speaker 1: one and he ends up with one point four yards

2038
01:47:51,320 --> 01:47:54,559
Speaker 1: per carry, a guy who's that's got the most yards

2039
01:47:54,600 --> 01:47:57,720
Speaker 1: per carry in NFL history at five point four for

2040
01:47:57,880 --> 01:48:00,920
Speaker 1: his career for a fifth year running back. That's the

2041
01:48:01,000 --> 01:48:02,960
Speaker 1: best of all time to be able to do that.

2042
01:48:03,439 --> 01:48:06,800
Speaker 1: Um was great. When when Cleveland center went out early

2043
01:48:06,880 --> 01:48:09,799
Speaker 1: with an injury, you know, it affected them. They fumbled

2044
01:48:09,840 --> 01:48:12,599
Speaker 1: the one snap, but he got he got the business

2045
01:48:12,640 --> 01:48:14,679
Speaker 1: for a majority of the game. And then when Jack

2046
01:48:14,720 --> 01:48:17,040
Speaker 1: Conklin went out of the game, their right tackle and

2047
01:48:17,160 --> 01:48:19,679
Speaker 1: they put in sixty six behind him. I can't remember

2048
01:48:19,760 --> 01:48:22,000
Speaker 1: his name, Von Millard just having a field day with him,

2049
01:48:22,320 --> 01:48:25,559
Speaker 1: and so, um, yeah, that that defensive line was impressive.

2050
01:48:25,600 --> 01:48:28,200
Speaker 1: And when those defensive tackles play that way, you know,

2051
01:48:28,360 --> 01:48:30,559
Speaker 1: then you're then you're seeing big games from a guy

2052
01:48:30,640 --> 01:48:34,680
Speaker 1: like Matt Milano as well. Who I mean, gosh, if

2053
01:48:34,720 --> 01:48:36,360
Speaker 1: he's not an All Pro this season, I don't know

2054
01:48:36,439 --> 01:48:39,519
Speaker 1: what an all Pro linebacker looks like, right, Yeah, And

2055
01:48:39,560 --> 01:48:42,360
Speaker 1: I would agree with that and his his teammates are,

2056
01:48:42,479 --> 01:48:44,920
Speaker 1: you know, campaigning and openly campaigning for him to be

2057
01:48:45,000 --> 01:48:47,800
Speaker 1: Defensive Player of the year in that conversation. I don't

2058
01:48:47,800 --> 01:48:50,800
Speaker 1: know if that'll happen, but certainly when he's in there,

2059
01:48:51,920 --> 01:48:56,200
Speaker 1: this group is allowed to play much differently. Yeah, you're right,

2060
01:48:56,360 --> 01:48:58,759
Speaker 1: and I think what will hurt him in the defensive

2061
01:48:58,760 --> 01:49:01,120
Speaker 1: player of the year conversations. He's not gonna have the

2062
01:49:01,160 --> 01:49:03,400
Speaker 1: sack totals. He's not gonna have the interception totals. You know,

2063
01:49:03,520 --> 01:49:05,680
Speaker 1: you're just not gonna have those types of totals to

2064
01:49:05,880 --> 01:49:07,800
Speaker 1: get the defensive Player of the year. He's not a

2065
01:49:07,920 --> 01:49:10,920
Speaker 1: huge personality. He's not doing a dance when he comes

2066
01:49:10,960 --> 01:49:12,880
Speaker 1: out of the locker room like a ray Lewis to

2067
01:49:12,960 --> 01:49:15,479
Speaker 1: where you get a ton of national media attention. But

2068
01:49:15,640 --> 01:49:19,200
Speaker 1: the fact that on a defense that has a lock

2069
01:49:19,280 --> 01:49:23,000
Speaker 1: Hall of Famer at defensive end outside linebacker and Von Miller,

2070
01:49:23,439 --> 01:49:26,240
Speaker 1: plenty of first round draft picks and Alpha dogs, and

2071
01:49:26,439 --> 01:49:30,639
Speaker 1: they're touting they're one player as the potential defensive Player

2072
01:49:30,640 --> 01:49:33,240
Speaker 1: of the year. That shows the impact that Matt Mulano

2073
01:49:33,320 --> 01:49:36,960
Speaker 1: has on this football team. Special teams deserves a little

2074
01:49:37,000 --> 01:49:38,920
Speaker 1: tip of the hat, not just because the Tyler bass

2075
01:49:39,000 --> 01:49:42,679
Speaker 1: Is six field goals, but Niheim Hines makes an impact

2076
01:49:42,760 --> 01:49:45,479
Speaker 1: in the return game over a hundred total return yards

2077
01:49:45,880 --> 01:49:49,920
Speaker 1: and de Kwon Jones but a block field goal yesterday. Yeah,

2078
01:49:50,080 --> 01:49:53,400
Speaker 1: very impressive special team's performance. Bass. We just take him

2079
01:49:53,439 --> 01:49:56,000
Speaker 1: for granted. I mean, he's so good, we take him

2080
01:49:56,040 --> 01:49:59,519
Speaker 1: for granted. There's not there's we just expect every field

2081
01:49:59,560 --> 01:50:02,080
Speaker 1: goal to go in every pat and we don't realize

2082
01:50:02,120 --> 01:50:04,080
Speaker 1: when you look around the NFL on a weeks week

2083
01:50:04,120 --> 01:50:06,800
Speaker 1: basis that that's not the case in every organization. And

2084
01:50:06,920 --> 01:50:09,400
Speaker 1: then Haines has brought some juice to the return game,

2085
01:50:09,479 --> 01:50:11,479
Speaker 1: and you know, I have full confidence in him as

2086
01:50:11,479 --> 01:50:14,120
Speaker 1: a punt return and making the correct decisions. And then man,

2087
01:50:14,200 --> 01:50:17,240
Speaker 1: he's got some juice back there and Steve, you know

2088
01:50:17,439 --> 01:50:22,639
Speaker 1: from playing a more special teams than almost anybody. When

2089
01:50:22,680 --> 01:50:24,559
Speaker 1: you have a guy back there with that much juice,

2090
01:50:24,600 --> 01:50:28,160
Speaker 1: I'm not saying you don't block harder or protect better.

2091
01:50:28,720 --> 01:50:30,560
Speaker 1: You know, you're always trying to do your job, but

2092
01:50:30,600 --> 01:50:32,200
Speaker 1: when you understand that you have a guy that can

2093
01:50:32,240 --> 01:50:33,920
Speaker 1: truly take it to the house, that can truly make

2094
01:50:33,960 --> 01:50:36,599
Speaker 1: an impact play, maybe you lock in just a touch

2095
01:50:36,680 --> 01:50:39,280
Speaker 1: more like we would if we had, you know, an

2096
01:50:39,320 --> 01:50:42,240
Speaker 1: all pro running back behind us. Yeah, there's no question

2097
01:50:42,280 --> 01:50:44,719
Speaker 1: it makes a big difference. And a guy like Hines

2098
01:50:45,560 --> 01:50:49,120
Speaker 1: understands too, because maybe because of his running back ability

2099
01:50:49,240 --> 01:50:52,240
Speaker 1: or his time as a running back that what you

2100
01:50:52,400 --> 01:50:54,200
Speaker 1: do in the path you take when you get the

2101
01:50:54,240 --> 01:50:56,000
Speaker 1: ball in your hands has a lot to do with

2102
01:50:56,120 --> 01:50:58,080
Speaker 1: the guys in front of your ability to get angles

2103
01:50:58,120 --> 01:50:59,800
Speaker 1: on the guys that are coming down covering the kick.

2104
01:51:00,120 --> 01:51:02,880
Speaker 1: So when he comes up takes three hard steps straight

2105
01:51:02,960 --> 01:51:07,120
Speaker 1: up the field, that convergence by the coverage team really

2106
01:51:07,200 --> 01:51:09,439
Speaker 1: sets up the return the way you wanted to be

2107
01:51:09,520 --> 01:51:13,000
Speaker 1: set up. And likewise, taking a few lateral steps and

2108
01:51:13,000 --> 01:51:16,800
Speaker 1: then planning hard back the other way really helps those

2109
01:51:16,920 --> 01:51:20,760
Speaker 1: guys up front. And you know, it's just the subtleties

2110
01:51:20,880 --> 01:51:23,439
Speaker 1: of being confident enough as a guy that not only

2111
01:51:23,520 --> 01:51:26,559
Speaker 1: to handle the kick, but then to do that after

2112
01:51:26,720 --> 01:51:28,599
Speaker 1: you handle the kick, you know, to take a couple

2113
01:51:28,680 --> 01:51:32,080
Speaker 1: of false steps one way or the other hard really

2114
01:51:32,160 --> 01:51:34,880
Speaker 1: goes a long way to giving yourself the corner when

2115
01:51:34,920 --> 01:51:36,680
Speaker 1: you go back the other direction. And that, you know

2116
01:51:36,760 --> 01:51:40,639
Speaker 1: that guy's like Hind just seemed to get that. Yeah,

2117
01:51:41,080 --> 01:51:45,120
Speaker 1: it certainly seems so. And we were talking oh maybe

2118
01:51:45,200 --> 01:51:47,960
Speaker 1: during training camp where we were wondering about the return

2119
01:51:48,040 --> 01:51:50,519
Speaker 1: game and we were saying, look, you know, put Michael

2120
01:51:50,560 --> 01:51:52,600
Speaker 1: Hide back there again for punts, because as goes as

2121
01:51:52,600 --> 01:51:54,400
Speaker 1: this offense is going to be, you know, having a

2122
01:51:54,560 --> 01:51:57,240
Speaker 1: great returner, it's just a luxury that the Bills don't

2123
01:51:57,280 --> 01:51:58,960
Speaker 1: need to necessarily go out and spend a bunch of

2124
01:51:59,000 --> 01:52:01,400
Speaker 1: money for. And then you trade a six round pick

2125
01:52:01,520 --> 01:52:03,680
Speaker 1: and Zach Moss and you got a stud in the

2126
01:52:03,760 --> 01:52:05,720
Speaker 1: return game. And I'd like to see him get more

2127
01:52:05,800 --> 01:52:09,400
Speaker 1: involved in this offense. And I know everybody does, and

2128
01:52:09,840 --> 01:52:12,640
Speaker 1: I understand it went for a minus eight yesterday in

2129
01:52:12,920 --> 01:52:16,080
Speaker 1: the staff book, But if Myles Garrett doesn't get him there,

2130
01:52:16,120 --> 01:52:18,920
Speaker 1: and they and Gabe Davis just misses that down blocked

2131
01:52:18,960 --> 01:52:21,040
Speaker 1: on the ender round to Hines, he could be out

2132
01:52:21,120 --> 01:52:24,760
Speaker 1: the gate there. And as this Bill's team continues to

2133
01:52:24,840 --> 01:52:27,280
Speaker 1: look for answers in the red zone and scoring touchdowns,

2134
01:52:27,840 --> 01:52:30,680
Speaker 1: Hines is a guy that can make you stretch sideline

2135
01:52:30,680 --> 01:52:34,360
Speaker 1: to stydeline, defend the whole field, just like Mackenzie has

2136
01:52:34,479 --> 01:52:36,360
Speaker 1: a can on some of those ender rounds. And so

2137
01:52:36,400 --> 01:52:38,840
Speaker 1: I'd like to see him just continue to stay involved there.

2138
01:52:39,320 --> 01:52:42,000
Speaker 1: Last one I've got for you. Eric concerns Dawson Knox

2139
01:52:42,120 --> 01:52:45,479
Speaker 1: the most involved he's been in the passing game all season,

2140
01:52:45,680 --> 01:52:48,759
Speaker 1: leads the team and receiving with seventy yards on seven catches.

2141
01:52:49,640 --> 01:52:53,640
Speaker 1: What can that do for both the pass game and

2142
01:52:53,920 --> 01:52:56,960
Speaker 1: the run game going forward When he's that kind of

2143
01:52:57,040 --> 01:53:01,280
Speaker 1: a threat, Yeah, he just becomes another person on game

2144
01:53:01,400 --> 01:53:03,639
Speaker 1: day you have to worry about. It's a touch less

2145
01:53:03,840 --> 01:53:08,080
Speaker 1: attention on a Gabe Davis hones Stefon Diggs and it helps.

2146
01:53:08,240 --> 01:53:11,040
Speaker 1: And you know last year he lit it up in

2147
01:53:11,120 --> 01:53:13,240
Speaker 1: the red zone and had a ton of touchdowns and

2148
01:53:13,600 --> 01:53:15,639
Speaker 1: this year he's drawing more attention there and they're also

2149
01:53:15,720 --> 01:53:17,439
Speaker 1: using it to block a little bit more this year,

2150
01:53:18,160 --> 01:53:20,640
Speaker 1: which is you know, every offensive coordinator is going to

2151
01:53:20,720 --> 01:53:24,160
Speaker 1: have their nuances that they like in week to week.

2152
01:53:24,240 --> 01:53:26,040
Speaker 1: It could be matchup. You know, you're gonna have him

2153
01:53:26,120 --> 01:53:28,680
Speaker 1: chip more often when you have a Miles Garrett, if

2154
01:53:28,720 --> 01:53:30,800
Speaker 1: you have these big time pass rushers. That being said,

2155
01:53:31,240 --> 01:53:33,000
Speaker 1: love to see him get going there. He was also

2156
01:53:33,120 --> 01:53:35,599
Speaker 1: dinged up for part of the early season and lost

2157
01:53:35,680 --> 01:53:37,720
Speaker 1: his brother. He was going through a ton. As he

2158
01:53:37,800 --> 01:53:41,120
Speaker 1: settles into the season, you know, I'm excited about what

2159
01:53:41,240 --> 01:53:44,320
Speaker 1: he can do and really that first the first first

2160
01:53:44,360 --> 01:53:46,479
Speaker 1: down of the game for the Bills that showed any

2161
01:53:46,560 --> 01:53:48,800
Speaker 1: bit of life from the offense. Dawson had to run

2162
01:53:48,920 --> 01:53:50,840
Speaker 1: through a guy, and he's always been great running after

2163
01:53:50,880 --> 01:53:54,439
Speaker 1: the catch. It was fun to watch yesterday. Dawson as

2164
01:53:54,680 --> 01:53:56,760
Speaker 1: as you guys know, he's about as easy as it

2165
01:53:57,000 --> 01:53:59,080
Speaker 1: is the route for a guy in this league, the

2166
01:53:59,120 --> 01:54:02,080
Speaker 1: way he handles his business. Eric, good stuff, thanks for

2167
01:54:02,439 --> 01:54:04,320
Speaker 1: coming back and seeing us. Well, we're gonna catch you,

2168
01:54:04,400 --> 01:54:09,880
Speaker 1: I guess probably next Monday. Yeah, probably, Yeah, sounds good. Yeah,

2169
01:54:09,920 --> 01:54:12,880
Speaker 1: you guys probably be in a Turkey coma Friday. That's right,

2170
01:54:12,960 --> 01:54:15,400
Speaker 1: that's the plan. I'll see you on Thanksgiving though, all

2171
01:54:15,479 --> 01:54:18,720
Speaker 1: right man, yep, sounds good. Chris, looking forward to happy Thanksgiving. Guys,

2172
01:54:18,760 --> 01:54:20,360
Speaker 1: have a great week, all right, you too. That's Eric

2173
01:54:20,400 --> 01:54:23,040
Speaker 1: Wood joining US Bill's radio color analyst as he does

2174
01:54:23,160 --> 01:54:26,840
Speaker 1: after every Bill's game, and got another one three days.

2175
01:54:27,160 --> 01:54:31,320
Speaker 1: Gonna come fast, rights, we have to take a break

2176
01:54:31,400 --> 01:54:34,640
Speaker 1: here when we come back. We're hoping that coach McDermott

2177
01:54:34,640 --> 01:54:39,160
Speaker 1: will be addressing the media at that time. His Monday, uh,

2178
01:54:39,320 --> 01:54:43,160
Speaker 1: you know, post game day after game press conference is

2179
01:54:43,200 --> 01:54:45,760
Speaker 1: a little earlier this week because of the abbreviated week,

2180
01:54:46,120 --> 01:54:48,080
Speaker 1: So we hope we can bring that to you. Coming

2181
01:54:48,160 --> 01:54:50,240
Speaker 1: up next here on One Bill's Live, presented by Kalid

2182
01:54:50,240 --> 01:55:00,920
Speaker 1: to Health, It's Buffalo Bill's Radio. All right back on

2183
01:55:01,040 --> 01:55:03,120
Speaker 1: One Bills Live, gonna get back into the phone calls.

2184
01:55:03,160 --> 01:55:06,320
Speaker 1: Your biggest takeaways from yesterday's win over the Browns. I

2185
01:55:06,360 --> 01:55:08,520
Speaker 1: almost said lions because we were in Detroit. It's like

2186
01:55:08,560 --> 01:55:11,080
Speaker 1: you have that mental thing in your head. We go

2187
01:55:11,160 --> 01:55:13,240
Speaker 1: back to the phones at eight o three, five fifty

2188
01:55:13,440 --> 01:55:16,160
Speaker 1: and we've got Judy and Buffalo up next. What do

2189
01:55:16,200 --> 01:55:17,800
Speaker 1: you got for us? Judy or On One Bills Live,

2190
01:55:19,000 --> 01:55:22,120
Speaker 1: I have a question on the second on side kick,

2191
01:55:23,200 --> 01:55:26,880
Speaker 1: a Browns player touched it and then a Bills player

2192
01:55:26,960 --> 01:55:29,760
Speaker 1: touched it before it went out of bounds. Would the

2193
01:55:29,840 --> 01:55:32,120
Speaker 1: ruling have been different if the Bills player had not

2194
01:55:32,320 --> 01:55:34,960
Speaker 1: touched ship before it went out of bounds. No, And

2195
01:55:35,120 --> 01:55:36,720
Speaker 1: I gotta be honest with you, I missed that play.

2196
01:55:36,760 --> 01:55:38,520
Speaker 1: I haven't seen it, so I don't know. But if

2197
01:55:38,840 --> 01:55:41,320
Speaker 1: he was it had it gone ten yards. That's the

2198
01:55:41,400 --> 01:55:43,320
Speaker 1: real thing. If the if the ball goes ten yards,

2199
01:55:43,400 --> 01:55:46,040
Speaker 1: it's live. So it doesn't really matter who touches it.

2200
01:55:46,640 --> 01:55:50,440
Speaker 1: Somebody's got to possess it before it makes any difference

2201
01:55:50,560 --> 01:55:53,400
Speaker 1: about who gets the ball or what the after the kick.

2202
01:55:53,720 --> 01:55:56,320
Speaker 1: So once it goes ten yards, it's live and it

2203
01:55:56,400 --> 01:55:59,120
Speaker 1: doesn't matter what happens. The smart play is to bat

2204
01:55:59,240 --> 01:56:01,800
Speaker 1: that thing out of ounds, which is what was done. Yeah,

2205
01:56:02,000 --> 01:56:04,360
Speaker 1: and that's so nobody can get it, and if they

2206
01:56:04,400 --> 01:56:08,160
Speaker 1: don't get it, you know, we win the play. You

2207
01:56:08,200 --> 01:56:10,680
Speaker 1: win the play because essentially, Judy, what's happening is the

2208
01:56:10,800 --> 01:56:17,080
Speaker 1: kicking team is surrendering possession. So if nobody m definitively

2209
01:56:17,840 --> 01:56:20,320
Speaker 1: gets possession of the ball before it goes out of bounds,

2210
01:56:20,360 --> 01:56:22,600
Speaker 1: it goes to the receiving team, which is the Bills

2211
01:56:22,640 --> 01:56:28,480
Speaker 1: in that case. Does that help? I guess it does,

2212
01:56:28,600 --> 01:56:33,760
Speaker 1: all right, Thanks, Judy, A valid question. Uh, yeah, it was.

2213
01:56:34,320 --> 01:56:36,800
Speaker 1: There was a little trepidation there, if it always is,

2214
01:56:36,920 --> 01:56:39,040
Speaker 1: And it's better now than it used to be because

2215
01:56:39,040 --> 01:56:41,080
Speaker 1: you used to have a real shot at it back

2216
01:56:41,120 --> 01:56:43,040
Speaker 1: in the day. Now really and like like it almost

2217
01:56:43,040 --> 01:56:45,440
Speaker 1: happened when when Davis couldn't handle it. It's hard to

2218
01:56:45,480 --> 01:56:48,440
Speaker 1: handle it because you got guys bearing down on you,

2219
01:56:49,120 --> 01:56:53,960
Speaker 1: and it's it's a pressure pack situation. The balls kind

2220
01:56:53,960 --> 01:56:56,720
Speaker 1: of bouncing funky. So but you're saying it's harder now

2221
01:56:56,800 --> 01:56:58,720
Speaker 1: because they can't get a running start. It's harder to

2222
01:56:58,840 --> 01:57:00,960
Speaker 1: get it. It's harder for the kicking team to get

2223
01:57:01,000 --> 01:57:03,080
Speaker 1: because you can't get a running start. Back when I played,

2224
01:57:03,120 --> 01:57:05,560
Speaker 1: they had a real shot out it because they'd stampede

2225
01:57:05,640 --> 01:57:08,280
Speaker 1: at you have ten guys running full speed trying to

2226
01:57:08,360 --> 01:57:11,320
Speaker 1: blow you up. Yeah. It was actually Bobby April, the

2227
01:57:11,400 --> 01:57:15,160
Speaker 1: Bill's old special teams coach. He ran a Kamakazi play

2228
01:57:15,920 --> 01:57:18,800
Speaker 1: where before you had to start lineing people up a

2229
01:57:18,880 --> 01:57:22,160
Speaker 1: certain number on either side right, only a certain number

2230
01:57:22,160 --> 01:57:26,920
Speaker 1: of people outside the numbers. He packed everybody in between that. Yeah,

2231
01:57:27,120 --> 01:57:30,240
Speaker 1: and they'd sit behind Ryan Lindel. He would just dribble it.

2232
01:57:31,120 --> 01:57:33,920
Speaker 1: The first two guys would plow into whoever was the

2233
01:57:33,960 --> 01:57:36,560
Speaker 1: first guy on the ball and basically wreck him, and

2234
01:57:36,680 --> 01:57:39,480
Speaker 1: then the guys would come in second wave and jump

2235
01:57:39,560 --> 01:57:42,600
Speaker 1: on the ball. That was their Kamakazi play, because that's

2236
01:57:42,600 --> 01:57:45,680
Speaker 1: what it was. Player's safety was a secondary consideration. Well,

2237
01:57:45,720 --> 01:57:47,760
Speaker 1: the poor guy that was first to the football, he

2238
01:57:47,880 --> 01:57:51,280
Speaker 1: had two linebackers charging in him and they basically ran

2239
01:57:51,400 --> 01:57:53,840
Speaker 1: him over like a bowling ball. That's right. And then

2240
01:57:53,840 --> 01:57:55,320
Speaker 1: the next wave of guys would come in and try

2241
01:57:55,360 --> 01:57:57,360
Speaker 1: to scoop up the football and it worked. It's you

2242
01:57:57,480 --> 01:58:00,280
Speaker 1: got to it got outlawed after that. Yeah, how to

2243
01:58:00,320 --> 01:58:04,520
Speaker 1: have It's a really courageous ask to have your guys

2244
01:58:04,640 --> 01:58:08,360
Speaker 1: do that. And so and what would happen now? Teams

2245
01:58:08,480 --> 01:58:12,480
Speaker 1: combated it by whatever the kickoff team, however they were aligned,

2246
01:58:12,640 --> 01:58:14,840
Speaker 1: you would match them. So if they were in there

2247
01:58:14,920 --> 01:58:18,480
Speaker 1: huddled up the front six guys are front five and

2248
01:58:18,600 --> 01:58:21,360
Speaker 1: front three guys or whatever, they would all huddle up

2249
01:58:21,560 --> 01:58:24,320
Speaker 1: to opposite them. So in case they did that stampede,

2250
01:58:24,360 --> 01:58:27,960
Speaker 1: you'd be ready for it, and you'd have guys as well.

2251
01:58:28,400 --> 01:58:30,560
Speaker 1: Enough number of guys there as well. If they spread

2252
01:58:30,560 --> 01:58:32,160
Speaker 1: out and they were lined up spread out across the

2253
01:58:32,200 --> 01:58:33,960
Speaker 1: field and you were huddled up and you did that,

2254
01:58:34,120 --> 01:58:38,840
Speaker 1: you got one poor soul. They're taken on a stampede.

2255
01:58:38,920 --> 01:58:43,440
Speaker 1: So it's harder to do now, and it's purely due

2256
01:58:43,720 --> 01:58:49,280
Speaker 1: to player safety considerations, but it has really crushed the

2257
01:58:49,440 --> 01:58:52,320
Speaker 1: onside kick and it's the kicking team's ability to get it.

2258
01:58:52,840 --> 01:58:54,880
Speaker 1: Let's go back to the phones and to Greg in

2259
01:58:55,000 --> 01:58:56,960
Speaker 1: north Tonawanda. What do you got for us? Greg? You're

2260
01:58:56,960 --> 01:58:59,880
Speaker 1: on one bills live. Hey, guys, love the show. Thanks

2261
01:58:59,880 --> 01:59:03,160
Speaker 1: for taking my college sated. You know, obviously the bill

2262
01:59:03,240 --> 01:59:06,080
Speaker 1: started out slowly. I don't think that's totally unexpected given

2263
01:59:06,080 --> 01:59:08,360
Speaker 1: the circumstances of the past week, kind of crazy for

2264
01:59:08,440 --> 01:59:12,000
Speaker 1: all of us. But I think a minor turning point

2265
01:59:12,040 --> 01:59:14,000
Speaker 1: in the game, and I was simple, it was subtle

2266
01:59:14,040 --> 01:59:15,520
Speaker 1: out and make that big a deal out of it.

2267
01:59:15,640 --> 01:59:18,360
Speaker 1: But remember when towards the end of the first half,

2268
01:59:18,480 --> 01:59:21,360
Speaker 1: Josh forced out of the pocket, scrambled to his left,

2269
01:59:21,440 --> 01:59:23,920
Speaker 1: was going out of bounds and the Cleveland defender gave

2270
01:59:23,960 --> 01:59:26,920
Speaker 1: him that shove on his bum elbow, and Josh really

2271
01:59:27,000 --> 01:59:28,760
Speaker 1: took offense to it. In fact, the roughead to come

2272
01:59:28,840 --> 01:59:31,920
Speaker 1: between them. It just seemed like, you know, different players

2273
01:59:32,000 --> 01:59:34,560
Speaker 1: get motivated different ways. I coached for years. You know,

2274
01:59:34,760 --> 01:59:36,800
Speaker 1: sometimes you talk to him, sometimes you got to get

2275
01:59:36,800 --> 01:59:39,920
Speaker 1: in their face. That just you know, Josh is fantastic

2276
01:59:40,200 --> 01:59:43,640
Speaker 1: when he's pissed at somebody other than himself. When it's himself,

2277
01:59:43,720 --> 01:59:45,560
Speaker 1: he can go good, it can go bad. But he

2278
01:59:45,800 --> 01:59:47,400
Speaker 1: just seemed to light a fire. I was watching the

2279
01:59:47,440 --> 01:59:50,280
Speaker 1: game with my wife. I said, oh, that's it, game over.

2280
01:59:50,520 --> 01:59:52,600
Speaker 1: You watch and then he threw the touchdown past the

2281
01:59:52,680 --> 01:59:54,680
Speaker 1: digs and we all felt it was kind of like

2282
01:59:55,120 --> 01:59:57,920
Speaker 1: downhill after that. But you know, something he was just saying,

2283
01:59:58,000 --> 02:00:01,160
Speaker 1: isn't there let cleeping dogs lie? Don't wake a sleeping giant.

2284
02:00:01,480 --> 02:00:04,040
Speaker 1: He's not the right guy I think to hit old,

2285
02:00:04,400 --> 02:00:06,880
Speaker 1: you know, and he just I don't know, it motivates people.

2286
02:00:07,160 --> 02:00:11,360
Speaker 1: You're probably I'll tell you. Um, thanks for Greg, Yeah, Greg,

2287
02:00:11,480 --> 02:00:13,960
Speaker 1: it's it's a good it's a good observation. I think

2288
02:00:14,000 --> 02:00:17,160
Speaker 1: he might be right. I hadn't thought about that, but yeah,

2289
02:00:17,280 --> 02:00:20,800
Speaker 1: Josh certainly wasn't happy about it, and it went better

2290
02:00:20,880 --> 02:00:24,920
Speaker 1: after that. So there's something in there. And I there

2291
02:00:25,000 --> 02:00:29,720
Speaker 1: may be something to you know, doing exactly what you said,

2292
02:00:29,800 --> 02:00:33,360
Speaker 1: provoking a player in a certain way that motivates him. Well, however,

2293
02:00:33,440 --> 02:00:36,760
Speaker 1: it may be either trash talking him or giving him

2294
02:00:36,760 --> 02:00:40,440
Speaker 1: a little something extra after the whistle, or just quite

2295
02:00:40,480 --> 02:00:43,440
Speaker 1: the opposite, flattering them whatever, you know, saying hey, we

2296
02:00:43,520 --> 02:00:45,120
Speaker 1: really think you're a good player, kind of thing while

2297
02:00:45,120 --> 02:00:47,960
Speaker 1: you're walking back to the huddle. Uh. Sometimes that works,

2298
02:00:48,040 --> 02:00:51,680
Speaker 1: sometimes not. Sometimes guys kind of get soft when they

2299
02:00:51,760 --> 02:00:55,320
Speaker 1: do that, you know. So I don't know, Well, that's

2300
02:00:55,360 --> 02:00:57,560
Speaker 1: a subtle observation. I don't know if it's the true,

2301
02:00:57,600 --> 02:01:03,520
Speaker 1: if it really was, but it's something to think about. Yeah,

2302
02:01:03,760 --> 02:01:06,120
Speaker 1: let me think about. Let's go to the tweet sheets

2303
02:01:06,480 --> 02:01:09,080
Speaker 1: as we were asking you there as well for your

2304
02:01:09,160 --> 02:01:13,640
Speaker 1: thoughts and takeaways from yesterday's game and tweet sheets. OO

2305
02:01:13,840 --> 02:01:16,040
Speaker 1: is brought to you by Corrigan Moving Systems, the official

2306
02:01:16,040 --> 02:01:20,120
Speaker 1: equipment moving company of the Buffalo Bills, and Daniel says

2307
02:01:20,200 --> 02:01:23,040
Speaker 1: great to score a second half touchdown, which was something

2308
02:01:23,080 --> 02:01:26,080
Speaker 1: they hadn't done since Week six at Kansas City considering

2309
02:01:26,120 --> 02:01:29,360
Speaker 1: the lack of practice and weather circumstances. The Bills did

2310
02:01:29,480 --> 02:01:32,240
Speaker 1: well yesterday, and I would tend to agree with that.

2311
02:01:32,520 --> 02:01:34,320
Speaker 1: You know, we had some people on social media at

2312
02:01:34,360 --> 02:01:36,080
Speaker 1: the end of the game because you know, the Browns

2313
02:01:36,120 --> 02:01:39,040
Speaker 1: made it a little interesting saying, oh my gosh, well,

2314
02:01:39,080 --> 02:01:41,040
Speaker 1: I guess we'll take the win. But it wasn't that great.

2315
02:01:41,640 --> 02:01:45,240
Speaker 1: And I'm just like, whoa pump the brakes man, Like,

2316
02:01:45,760 --> 02:01:48,200
Speaker 1: you know what this team had to endure this past week.

2317
02:01:49,000 --> 02:01:52,280
Speaker 1: It was a lift just to get to the dang game. Yeah.

2318
02:01:53,280 --> 02:01:54,880
Speaker 1: The fact that they were able to get a win

2319
02:01:55,000 --> 02:01:58,680
Speaker 1: on top of it, I mean, we're going to take

2320
02:01:58,720 --> 02:02:01,800
Speaker 1: a win anyway you can possibly get it. After all

2321
02:02:01,840 --> 02:02:04,160
Speaker 1: that the Bills had to go through Yeah, this week

2322
02:02:04,520 --> 02:02:09,320
Speaker 1: in terms of lack of practice time, team illness, injuries,

2323
02:02:10,360 --> 02:02:17,600
Speaker 1: snow logistics, it was insane. Yeah, the bar is pretty

2324
02:02:17,680 --> 02:02:21,840
Speaker 1: high here in Buffalo, no question about it. When you

2325
02:02:21,920 --> 02:02:24,320
Speaker 1: beat three of the first few teams you play, you know,

2326
02:02:24,440 --> 02:02:27,360
Speaker 1: thirty one to something and forty one to something, and

2327
02:02:27,440 --> 02:02:31,480
Speaker 1: then thirty eight to three and you're the super Bowl favorite,

2328
02:02:31,520 --> 02:02:34,920
Speaker 1: sometimes people get a little bit their expectations become a

2329
02:02:34,960 --> 02:02:38,640
Speaker 1: little bit overinflated. But getting a ten point when or

2330
02:02:38,640 --> 02:02:41,720
Speaker 1: whatever it was eight point when over Cleveland team, when

2331
02:02:41,760 --> 02:02:43,120
Speaker 1: you kind of let your foot off the gas in

2332
02:02:43,200 --> 02:02:46,960
Speaker 1: the last five minutes of the game, yeah, you take

2333
02:02:47,000 --> 02:02:48,960
Speaker 1: it and you run with it. Your quarterback didn't have

2334
02:02:49,040 --> 02:02:51,120
Speaker 1: his number called in the running game at all, which

2335
02:02:51,200 --> 02:02:54,160
Speaker 1: is something that people have criticized the team for. Your

2336
02:02:54,240 --> 02:02:56,920
Speaker 1: running game came to the forefront against the team it

2337
02:02:56,960 --> 02:02:58,800
Speaker 1: should have been able to and did in a big

2338
02:02:58,920 --> 02:03:04,640
Speaker 1: way after a slow start, after the week that they

2339
02:03:04,720 --> 02:03:08,720
Speaker 1: went through. Coming back and then hanging thirty plus points

2340
02:03:08,960 --> 02:03:11,960
Speaker 1: on your opponent, it's a pretty good day. It's pretty

2341
02:03:12,000 --> 02:03:13,680
Speaker 1: good day. So you gotta be ready for that. And

2342
02:03:14,360 --> 02:03:16,840
Speaker 1: you know, I think we asked Eric Wood about this

2343
02:03:18,440 --> 02:03:21,200
Speaker 1: and also about Mike rob the real Mike rob Right,

2344
02:03:21,280 --> 02:03:23,520
Speaker 1: Mike Robinson about you know what it's going to be

2345
02:03:23,560 --> 02:03:26,400
Speaker 1: like to face the Detroit Lions. The Lions are gonna

2346
02:03:26,440 --> 02:03:29,640
Speaker 1: play really well. They're in a three game winning streak,

2347
02:03:29,680 --> 02:03:33,280
Speaker 1: and it's Thanksgiving in Detroit. They always get into the NFL.

2348
02:03:33,400 --> 02:03:36,000
Speaker 1: It's an NFL tradition that is that has to do

2349
02:03:36,120 --> 02:03:39,400
Speaker 1: with nobody else except their team. They're gonna be ready

2350
02:03:39,440 --> 02:03:41,080
Speaker 1: to play this and they'll have something up their sleeve

2351
02:03:41,120 --> 02:03:43,440
Speaker 1: for it as well. You better go in there, no,

2352
02:03:43,560 --> 02:03:45,240
Speaker 1: and you're gonna get hit in the mouth and you

2353
02:03:45,360 --> 02:03:49,280
Speaker 1: better be really ready to punch back. So I would

2354
02:03:49,320 --> 02:03:52,040
Speaker 1: say this is gonna be a dog fight as well

2355
02:03:52,120 --> 02:03:55,920
Speaker 1: in Detroit this week. So don't think the Bills are

2356
02:03:55,960 --> 02:03:58,400
Speaker 1: gonna come in there and stroll over the Detroit Lions

2357
02:03:58,400 --> 02:04:01,280
Speaker 1: in a game like this. Jeremy on the tweet sheet says,

2358
02:04:01,320 --> 02:04:03,640
Speaker 1: we still need an underneath guy on offense and we

2359
02:04:03,800 --> 02:04:08,440
Speaker 1: desperately need treyback. Jacobe made the defense look like Swiss cheese,

2360
02:04:08,880 --> 02:04:10,920
Speaker 1: and I'm afraid to see what happens when we play

2361
02:04:10,920 --> 02:04:13,160
Speaker 1: an all pro quarterback. Yes, we secured the win and

2362
02:04:13,240 --> 02:04:16,520
Speaker 1: that was the emphasis, but still scary. I agree with you. Jeremy.

2363
02:04:16,600 --> 02:04:19,480
Speaker 1: The defense has to get healthy. I think that's the

2364
02:04:19,600 --> 02:04:22,640
Speaker 1: number one thing keeping the defense from playing the way

2365
02:04:22,680 --> 02:04:25,400
Speaker 1: we're used to seeing them play, particularly against the pass.

2366
02:04:25,800 --> 02:04:28,360
Speaker 1: You get Tredavious White back in the lineup, that changes

2367
02:04:28,400 --> 02:04:30,880
Speaker 1: the dynamics on the back end. If you can get

2368
02:04:30,920 --> 02:04:33,600
Speaker 1: Tremaine Edmund's back in the lineup, that changes the dynamics

2369
02:04:33,640 --> 02:04:37,040
Speaker 1: at the second level, and suddenly this defense looks a

2370
02:04:37,160 --> 02:04:39,680
Speaker 1: lot more like it used to. And I don't think

2371
02:04:39,720 --> 02:04:43,280
Speaker 1: we should dismiss the absence of Greg Rousseau who's missed

2372
02:04:43,280 --> 02:04:46,240
Speaker 1: the last two games with the high ankle spring. Hopefully

2373
02:04:46,280 --> 02:04:50,320
Speaker 1: he can come back sooner rather than later, because I

2374
02:04:50,480 --> 02:04:53,720
Speaker 1: think he makes a difference setting the edge. So you know,

2375
02:04:53,840 --> 02:04:58,680
Speaker 1: to me, are those are critical elements that have to

2376
02:04:58,760 --> 02:05:02,240
Speaker 1: get put back on this defensive unit. And it all

2377
02:05:02,360 --> 02:05:04,360
Speaker 1: has to do with health right now to me as

2378
02:05:04,400 --> 02:05:06,520
Speaker 1: I see it, I don't know if people feel differently, also,

2379
02:05:06,640 --> 02:05:11,040
Speaker 1: like Kyrie Elam healthy, Yeah, Kayer Elam's missing too all

2380
02:05:11,080 --> 02:05:14,400
Speaker 1: of that, So yeah, they were. It was a yeoman's

2381
02:05:14,400 --> 02:05:15,920
Speaker 1: effort by the guys that were left standing on the

2382
02:05:16,000 --> 02:05:18,800
Speaker 1: defensive side of the football. They played really well. Matt

2383
02:05:18,880 --> 02:05:22,400
Speaker 1: Milano stood tall as did de Quan Jones and Tim

2384
02:05:22,480 --> 02:05:25,560
Speaker 1: Settle and Ed Oliver. Those guys were really good upfront.

2385
02:05:25,880 --> 02:05:28,400
Speaker 1: Vaughan was still a presence there. He had a couple

2386
02:05:28,440 --> 02:05:30,680
Speaker 1: of good plays that were taken away at one tackle,

2387
02:05:30,960 --> 02:05:33,760
Speaker 1: almost a sack strip fumble, but because Brissette was a

2388
02:05:34,080 --> 02:05:35,880
Speaker 1: yard over the line of scrimmage, you didn't count as

2389
02:05:35,880 --> 02:05:37,840
Speaker 1: a sack. That A lot of that stuff going on,

2390
02:05:38,040 --> 02:05:41,840
Speaker 1: and penalties were a crusher in this game to me.

2391
02:05:42,680 --> 02:05:44,880
Speaker 1: So all of those things being said, and you can

2392
02:05:44,920 --> 02:05:46,560
Speaker 1: say what you want about the penalties, whether they were

2393
02:05:46,600 --> 02:05:48,440
Speaker 1: good or bad, or you can't control them. So don't

2394
02:05:48,720 --> 02:05:50,960
Speaker 1: think you got to You got if you If you

2395
02:05:51,000 --> 02:05:53,840
Speaker 1: don't turn it over and you don't take penalties, the

2396
02:05:54,000 --> 02:05:57,800
Speaker 1: percentages of you winning the game are greatly enhanced. And

2397
02:05:57,840 --> 02:06:00,320
Speaker 1: I'll say this about the underneath passing game, but all

2398
02:06:00,440 --> 02:06:02,520
Speaker 1: ringing our hands about the lack of production from the

2399
02:06:02,560 --> 02:06:06,320
Speaker 1: slot receiver position, whether it's Mackenzie losing Jamison Crowder was

2400
02:06:06,400 --> 02:06:12,000
Speaker 1: a loss. Where does Khalil Shakir fit in yesterday showed

2401
02:06:12,080 --> 02:06:15,360
Speaker 1: me Dawson Knox can be that underneath guy. Why can't

2402
02:06:15,400 --> 02:06:18,320
Speaker 1: he run the routes that Travis Kelsey runs in Kansas City, right,

2403
02:06:18,480 --> 02:06:22,920
Speaker 1: I mean that guy isn't underneath weapon of the highest order.

2404
02:06:23,600 --> 02:06:26,360
Speaker 1: How about we have Dawson Knox do some of that stuff. Yeah,

2405
02:06:26,440 --> 02:06:28,800
Speaker 1: he saw it yesterday. He played extremely well. It was

2406
02:06:28,840 --> 02:06:31,960
Speaker 1: really a great option for Josh. He ran his routes

2407
02:06:32,000 --> 02:06:33,960
Speaker 1: and as you see him, we're watching this highlight now,

2408
02:06:34,040 --> 02:06:35,840
Speaker 1: he ran down the seam there and had this big

2409
02:06:35,960 --> 02:06:38,920
Speaker 1: catch right down the hash marks. It's a huge play

2410
02:06:39,760 --> 02:06:42,040
Speaker 1: and it's great to have one of those guys. Certainly,

2411
02:06:42,200 --> 02:06:44,040
Speaker 1: if any of you saw the game late last night,

2412
02:06:44,640 --> 02:06:49,160
Speaker 1: Kansas City and Mahomes, it just seems inevitable that those

2413
02:06:49,200 --> 02:06:51,280
Speaker 1: guys are gonna come back and Knox can be that

2414
02:06:51,480 --> 02:06:53,280
Speaker 1: at least a good part of it for Josh and

2415
02:06:53,960 --> 02:06:57,520
Speaker 1: this offense. We're gonna go to head coach Sean McDermott

2416
02:06:57,640 --> 02:06:59,720
Speaker 1: right now, as he is addressing the media a day

2417
02:06:59,800 --> 02:07:03,680
Speaker 1: after their win over the Browns. Early in the second quarter,

2418
02:07:04,000 --> 02:07:06,960
Speaker 1: offense seemed to be a little frustrated. You have a

2419
02:07:07,000 --> 02:07:09,480
Speaker 1: conversation with Steph on the sidelines. I know you're not

2420
02:07:09,560 --> 02:07:11,880
Speaker 1: going to tell me what you said in the conversation,

2421
02:07:12,080 --> 02:07:14,720
Speaker 1: but I guess what was the theme and why did

2422
02:07:14,760 --> 02:07:17,760
Speaker 1: you feel it was important to have that conversation with

2423
02:07:17,960 --> 02:07:20,280
Speaker 1: one of your leaders then, because it seemed to work

2424
02:07:20,360 --> 02:07:24,960
Speaker 1: whatever you said and it didn't become a distraction or anything. Yeah.

2425
02:07:25,000 --> 02:07:26,760
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, Steff is one of our leaders.

2426
02:07:26,800 --> 02:07:28,880
Speaker 1: So I just wanted to, you know, offer a couple

2427
02:07:28,880 --> 02:07:31,440
Speaker 1: of words of encouragement and settle everyone down. And I

2428
02:07:31,520 --> 02:07:34,480
Speaker 1: thought Stepp did a great job of taking that message

2429
02:07:34,520 --> 02:07:37,440
Speaker 1: and running with it and putting his own, his own

2430
02:07:37,480 --> 02:07:40,040
Speaker 1: signature on it. How often have you done that in

2431
02:07:40,040 --> 02:07:43,720
Speaker 1: your coaching career? Kind of pulled aside a player in

2432
02:07:43,840 --> 02:07:46,880
Speaker 1: that instance when the team's maybe squandering a little bit,

2433
02:07:47,360 --> 02:07:48,680
Speaker 1: just kind of is it a feel of hey, I

2434
02:07:48,760 --> 02:07:51,400
Speaker 1: need to talk to him, Yeah, probably probably more so

2435
02:07:51,560 --> 02:07:53,320
Speaker 1: it's just to feel, you know, you just kind of

2436
02:07:53,720 --> 02:07:56,320
Speaker 1: feel what we need and uh and stuff was there,

2437
02:07:56,400 --> 02:07:59,360
Speaker 1: and you know you don't want people, you don't want

2438
02:07:59,400 --> 02:08:02,879
Speaker 1: people press seeing, and so you go to your your captains,

2439
02:08:02,920 --> 02:08:05,160
Speaker 1: your leaders, and not just the captains, but just guys

2440
02:08:05,200 --> 02:08:07,160
Speaker 1: that carry influence in our locker room, on our team

2441
02:08:07,240 --> 02:08:10,240
Speaker 1: and in that case with staff, and I thought, again,

2442
02:08:10,280 --> 02:08:16,920
Speaker 1: he did a great job. Thanks coaching, Sure, coach, Good

2443
02:08:16,960 --> 02:08:22,120
Speaker 1: afternoon with sports SINNETI welcome back, Thanks Mookie. Yeah, just

2444
02:08:22,200 --> 02:08:24,320
Speaker 1: to piggyback a little bit off of Dan there Um.

2445
02:08:24,440 --> 02:08:28,080
Speaker 1: When coaching players out of those shortcomings in game, what

2446
02:08:28,240 --> 02:08:34,040
Speaker 1: do you learn about yourself during those experiences? Uh, well,

2447
02:08:34,240 --> 02:08:36,160
Speaker 1: you know, I think you know, to be honest with you,

2448
02:08:36,200 --> 02:08:38,600
Speaker 1: I barely remembered it because you're just in the You're

2449
02:08:38,640 --> 02:08:40,240
Speaker 1: in the heat of the battle and in the moment,

2450
02:08:40,280 --> 02:08:44,120
Speaker 1: and you're and you're just naturally trying to do read

2451
02:08:44,160 --> 02:08:45,920
Speaker 1: the situation, trying to do what you feel like your

2452
02:08:45,960 --> 02:08:47,920
Speaker 1: team needs and most. And I think that's what work

2453
02:08:48,400 --> 02:08:52,320
Speaker 1: that we were all trying to do in that situation. Absolutely, coaching, Um,

2454
02:08:52,800 --> 02:08:56,120
Speaker 1: you know, coaching in those certain situations, you you went

2455
02:08:56,200 --> 02:08:59,160
Speaker 1: to the run, you stuck with it. How you know,

2456
02:08:59,440 --> 02:09:02,560
Speaker 1: impressed where you have Coach Kromer's approach up front, we're

2457
02:09:02,640 --> 02:09:05,000
Speaker 1: running the ball. Yeah, I was good. I was happy

2458
02:09:05,040 --> 02:09:07,120
Speaker 1: to see that. I thought coach Dorsey did a really

2459
02:09:07,160 --> 02:09:09,400
Speaker 1: good job of doaling those runs up and Coach Cromer

2460
02:09:09,480 --> 02:09:13,440
Speaker 1: the communication, the collaboration they had on the sideline. Um,

2461
02:09:13,600 --> 02:09:15,840
Speaker 1: and and then the guys executed to the line and

2462
02:09:15,920 --> 02:09:18,040
Speaker 1: the tight ends. I mean it takes everyone to run

2463
02:09:18,480 --> 02:09:20,560
Speaker 1: to run the ball. Well, the backs obviously hit the

2464
02:09:20,640 --> 02:09:24,560
Speaker 1: holes and they did a good job overall, short work,

2465
02:09:24,600 --> 02:09:26,520
Speaker 1: we coach, what will be the focus the main Saint

2466
02:09:26,680 --> 02:09:31,600
Speaker 1: saying summer Yesterday's success, Well, I mean listen, not all

2467
02:09:31,600 --> 02:09:33,960
Speaker 1: of it was was was where needed to be. So

2468
02:09:34,120 --> 02:09:37,600
Speaker 1: we'll certainly happen with the with the result. But in

2469
02:09:37,680 --> 02:09:39,320
Speaker 1: the midst of all that, we've got to continue to

2470
02:09:39,440 --> 02:09:41,280
Speaker 1: improve as a football team. And I thought we made

2471
02:09:42,360 --> 02:09:46,520
Speaker 1: made steps, took strategy yesterday, and we've got two days

2472
02:09:46,560 --> 02:09:49,480
Speaker 1: a little bit today and tomorrow to continue to move

2473
02:09:49,520 --> 02:09:53,240
Speaker 1: in the right direction. Here now, coach chapter Thanksgiving, say travels,

2474
02:09:53,680 --> 02:10:00,600
Speaker 1: look the thanks Hi Sean, what did you think of

2475
02:10:00,760 --> 02:10:04,080
Speaker 1: the defensive tackle play yesterday? The interior of the defensive line,

2476
02:10:04,160 --> 02:10:08,360
Speaker 1: especially Daquin seemed like he started the game really strong. Yeah,

2477
02:10:08,400 --> 02:10:10,320
Speaker 1: I mean when you can hold that type of a

2478
02:10:10,480 --> 02:10:16,200
Speaker 1: running back to what they were able to hold him to. Um,

2479
02:10:16,280 --> 02:10:20,120
Speaker 1: I thought that was pretty impressive. And the discipline, the gap, intecrity,

2480
02:10:20,240 --> 02:10:23,680
Speaker 1: the fundamentals that they that they had to use to

2481
02:10:23,800 --> 02:10:26,120
Speaker 1: do that. I think we're very apparent on the film.

2482
02:10:27,440 --> 02:10:35,640
Speaker 1: Thank you, sure, Hi Sean, just kind of jumping on

2483
02:10:35,920 --> 02:10:37,880
Speaker 1: on that kind of piggyback in a little bit on

2484
02:10:38,000 --> 02:10:41,160
Speaker 1: marks question there, but maybe broadening it out in light

2485
02:10:41,280 --> 02:10:43,520
Speaker 1: of all of what your team had been through in

2486
02:10:43,680 --> 02:10:46,080
Speaker 1: order to get to Detroit and what had been happening,

2487
02:10:46,480 --> 02:10:48,960
Speaker 1: you know on the field, you talked about areas to correct.

2488
02:10:49,080 --> 02:10:52,760
Speaker 1: I mean from my view, you know, obviously running the

2489
02:10:53,040 --> 02:10:56,320
Speaker 1: running game, the run defense both made very good strides.

2490
02:10:56,400 --> 02:10:59,120
Speaker 1: And and Josh going through whatever he went through with

2491
02:10:59,160 --> 02:11:01,600
Speaker 1: the offense early in that game seemed to settle down

2492
02:11:01,800 --> 02:11:04,040
Speaker 1: and play a more patient, smart game. Would you agree

2493
02:11:04,080 --> 02:11:07,480
Speaker 1: with that in those three areas generally after watching the film,

2494
02:11:07,480 --> 02:11:10,960
Speaker 1: I guess that's my question, Yes, I would, Adam, I mean,

2495
02:11:11,040 --> 02:11:12,640
Speaker 1: those are some of the strides that I felt like

2496
02:11:12,720 --> 02:11:16,080
Speaker 1: we made in the game. Was you know, being able

2497
02:11:16,160 --> 02:11:20,560
Speaker 1: to grow our offense, um in the running in the

2498
02:11:20,640 --> 02:11:22,800
Speaker 1: in the way of running the ball effectively there and

2499
02:11:23,720 --> 02:11:27,080
Speaker 1: m Josh not getting off to a great start, but

2500
02:11:27,240 --> 02:11:29,800
Speaker 1: really finding his rhythm in the to the back half

2501
02:11:29,840 --> 02:11:31,560
Speaker 1: of the second quarter and all throughout the rest of

2502
02:11:31,560 --> 02:11:34,160
Speaker 1: the game, made some really really key throws later in

2503
02:11:34,200 --> 02:11:37,200
Speaker 1: the game in particular, and obviously before half, and um,

2504
02:11:37,680 --> 02:11:39,320
Speaker 1: you know that's that was great to see. And then

2505
02:11:39,400 --> 02:11:41,760
Speaker 1: taking care of the football the way that the offense did,

2506
02:11:41,800 --> 02:11:45,880
Speaker 1: I think deserves to be mentioned as well. All Right,

2507
02:11:45,920 --> 02:11:48,480
Speaker 1: and just a quick follow from me. Um, you know,

2508
02:11:48,560 --> 02:11:51,560
Speaker 1: this whole squirrel and bronze story is really taken off

2509
02:11:51,640 --> 02:11:54,200
Speaker 1: here and helping to get Josh out of his driveway

2510
02:11:54,240 --> 02:11:56,480
Speaker 1: and everything, and there are other examples of that. You've

2511
02:11:56,520 --> 02:11:58,560
Speaker 1: spoken to this before, But to what degree did this

2512
02:11:58,720 --> 02:12:02,760
Speaker 1: all maybe re firm? Um? What makes Buffalo unique as

2513
02:12:02,760 --> 02:12:06,560
Speaker 1: an NFL market? Yeah, I mean I've we've talked about it,

2514
02:12:06,640 --> 02:12:11,600
Speaker 1: and it's just it's unique. It's it's unique for a

2515
02:12:11,680 --> 02:12:15,120
Speaker 1: lot of reasons. And until you come here, you don't

2516
02:12:15,120 --> 02:12:18,200
Speaker 1: really understand this place. And when I came here, people

2517
02:12:18,640 --> 02:12:21,200
Speaker 1: you know said to me who were born and raised

2518
02:12:21,280 --> 02:12:24,000
Speaker 1: here that it doesn't get the credit it deserves. And

2519
02:12:24,240 --> 02:12:28,080
Speaker 1: I would echo that now having been here a few years. So, Um,

2520
02:12:28,760 --> 02:12:31,000
Speaker 1: you know, I think the biggest thing is the way

2521
02:12:31,080 --> 02:12:35,000
Speaker 1: that all the people stepped up for a common cause

2522
02:12:35,080 --> 02:12:37,800
Speaker 1: and a common purpose. And I mean, whether it's this

2523
02:12:37,920 --> 02:12:41,520
Speaker 1: situation or the many other situations that have happened around

2524
02:12:41,560 --> 02:12:44,320
Speaker 1: the city. You go back to the summer and went

2525
02:12:44,440 --> 02:12:48,800
Speaker 1: down and at the tops there, and just the way

2526
02:12:48,880 --> 02:12:51,440
Speaker 1: that people step up, you know at Oshi Hospital and

2527
02:12:51,600 --> 02:12:54,680
Speaker 1: raise the money they do to to fund O'shei Hospital

2528
02:12:54,760 --> 02:12:58,400
Speaker 1: and the different initiatives. I think it's great. Um, so

2529
02:12:58,520 --> 02:13:00,920
Speaker 1: we can't thank people enough and listen. For us as

2530
02:13:00,960 --> 02:13:02,560
Speaker 1: a team, we got to move forward. It's a it's

2531
02:13:02,560 --> 02:13:05,200
Speaker 1: a short turnaround and we have to turn the page.

2532
02:13:05,240 --> 02:13:07,720
Speaker 1: And I'll let you guys right all you want about

2533
02:13:07,800 --> 02:13:09,480
Speaker 1: about what happened last week, but for us, we got

2534
02:13:09,560 --> 02:13:12,040
Speaker 1: to move forward and get ready for the Lions. All right.

2535
02:13:12,120 --> 02:13:14,480
Speaker 1: That's head coach Sean McDermott, and he's right, it is

2536
02:13:14,520 --> 02:13:16,640
Speaker 1: a short week. We have to take a break, Steve

2537
02:13:16,680 --> 02:13:18,760
Speaker 1: and I back to close it up here next on

2538
02:13:18,880 --> 02:13:36,400
Speaker 1: One Bill's Live. Okay, I gotta bring you up to

2539
02:13:36,520 --> 02:13:38,640
Speaker 1: date on the injury situation because we had to duck

2540
02:13:38,680 --> 02:13:42,360
Speaker 1: out of coach mcdermot's press conference. AJ Epenesa Tremaine Edmonds.

2541
02:13:42,400 --> 02:13:43,760
Speaker 1: He said it's going to be tough for both of

2542
02:13:43,800 --> 02:13:46,240
Speaker 1: those guys to play this week up in SLF yesterday's

2543
02:13:46,280 --> 02:13:49,080
Speaker 1: game with an ankle injury. Edmonds has the groin. Mitch

2544
02:13:49,160 --> 02:13:52,320
Speaker 1: Morris David Questenberry expected to be limited in practice along

2545
02:13:52,360 --> 02:13:55,160
Speaker 1: with Greg Rousseau, who is trying to come back from

2546
02:13:55,200 --> 02:13:57,520
Speaker 1: that high ankle sprain. If AJ can't play, they're gonna

2547
02:13:57,520 --> 02:13:59,320
Speaker 1: need Greg. We'll see you tomorrow one,
