1
00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:09,959
Speaker 1: At a Steve Tasker who has been all all over

2
00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:11,719
Speaker 1: the fields. Kind of unique. He was kind of a

3
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:18,319
Speaker 1: dual role player for you State Stave a blimp. We're

4
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:24,279
Speaker 1: not even in the strated here of normalcy. It is

5
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:28,600
Speaker 1: a Thursday edition of One Bills Live here at the

6
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:32,519
Speaker 1: Rainy Orchard Park campus of the Buffalo Bills. Steve Tasker

7
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:36,640
Speaker 1: and myself broadcasting from the Seneca Studios practice indoors today

8
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:40,080
Speaker 1: for the team in the field house, and we'll get

9
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:42,879
Speaker 1: an update later this hour as to how some of

10
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:47,280
Speaker 1: the injured players of interest are faring today. We know

11
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:50,520
Speaker 1: we had four of them not practice yesterday, Cody four,

12
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 1: John Brown, and a couple others including Dawson Knox, so

13
00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 1: Tyrell Dotson being the fourth, So we'll have to see

14
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:03,280
Speaker 1: where that all goes today. A Milano was limited yesterday,

15
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 1: so was Cam Lewis, who left last week's game with

16
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 1: a wrist injury. So if both of them are practicing

17
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 1: again today, who knows, Maybe they're trending up. But we'll

18
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 1: just have to take it a day at a time

19
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 1: here to see who will be available for this game

20
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:19,279
Speaker 1: against the Jets. As I said, Chris Brown, Steve Tasker

21
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:22,279
Speaker 1: with you here on a Thursday, and we are wide

22
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 1: open to get your input on the show today. We

23
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:26,039
Speaker 1: just wanted to make you aware of that at eight

24
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:28,960
Speaker 1: oh three five fifty one eight eight eight five fifty two,

25
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 1: five fifty. I don't know about you, Steve, but I've

26
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:34,039
Speaker 1: I've been encouraged by a lot of the calls that

27
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:36,040
Speaker 1: we've gotten this week. I know there were a few

28
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 1: people on Tuesday that we're ready to jump off bridges

29
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 1: into the Niagara River. But you know, I think for

30
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 1: the most part, people have kept their bearings after back

31
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 1: to back losses to the two teams that were in

32
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 1: last year's AFC title game. Yeah, for the most part,

33
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 1: and no questions, it's discouraging and disappointing that they lost

34
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 1: to two really good football teams in your conference, the

35
00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 1: Chiefs and the Titans, who played for the championship last year.

36
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 1: You want to play well against those teams. I'll go on.

37
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 1: I'll say it again. The Tennessee game, I kind of

38
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 1: have to write it off because of the way it

39
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:12,519
Speaker 1: came about that with the COVID problems they had getting

40
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:14,800
Speaker 1: that game scheduled in the first place, and then playing

41
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 1: it on a Tuesday. Obviously, there's no excuses. The game counts,

42
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 1: no question, but I know I can I can really

43
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 1: relate and feel like I see what those guys were

44
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 1: going through getting into that game, and they showed up

45
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 1: flat and that's all it took. Um the Tennessee Titans

46
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:30,640
Speaker 1: are gonna take advantage of it. And it was just

47
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 1: the reverse for the Titans in the way they ran

48
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 1: up to that game. So I I see that the

49
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:39,799
Speaker 1: Chiefs game was close late, but they are a good

50
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 1: football team, and you got to hit on all cylinders

51
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 1: and not make mistakes against those guys, and you gotta

52
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 1: get some stops defensively, and your offense has got to

53
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 1: show up. Neither one of those really with the full distance,

54
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 1: even even saying that they still you know, we're within

55
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 1: six points until that last drive. I was not as

56
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 1: disappointed with the Chiefs game as I was, obviously with

57
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 1: the Tennessee game where they did get beat by twenty five.

58
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:07,640
Speaker 1: But like I said, both those games have their problems

59
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:10,079
Speaker 1: and their separate issues. This is a team that's going forward,

60
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 1: and I think Bill's fans will know this, particularly the

61
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 1: ones who've lived through the last two decades. That's a

62
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 1: pretty good football team. I mean, you know what you're

63
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 1: looking at. And there may be some teams out there

64
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,239
Speaker 1: who are better or who play better on a given Sunday,

65
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:22,799
Speaker 1: but this is a good football team and they're hard

66
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 1: to beat. I will say this about this game coming up, though, Brownie,

67
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 1: you gotta win this game. Well, you're right, and coincidentally enough, Steve,

68
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 1: it's a good segue there. That is the crux of

69
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 1: our Twitter poll today. Will a dominant win over the

70
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 1: Jets restore your confidence in the Bills? And if so, why?

71
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 1: I mean, your choices are pretty simple there. Yes you're

72
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 1: no on the poll there, and then you just tell

73
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 1: us why you said yes or no, and you know

74
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 1: you think about it's Steve. Going into the game, the

75
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 1: Jets just look like a hapless, lifeless, leaderless squad that

76
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 1: is still selling off parts. Yesterday, they traded Jordan Willis,

77
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 1: an edge rushing linebacker, to San Francisco for some more

78
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 1: draft choices, so no players coming back to the roster.

79
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 1: That's their second trade this week. Earlier this week, they

80
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 1: traded defensive tackle Steve McClendon, who was a very good player,

81
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 1: to Tampa Bay. He's old, but he's an old He's

82
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 1: a quality veteran leader kind of guy, So, you know,

83
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 1: getting blocked, getting things blocked up in the runfront, maybe

84
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 1: a little bit easier this week going against the Jets.

85
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 1: I will say this though, we you know, we talked

86
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:42,720
Speaker 1: to Eric Allen yesterday, the Jets insider for New York

87
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:47,040
Speaker 1: Jets dot Com, and he said the offense is going

88
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 1: to be a much healthier group than it was the

89
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,599
Speaker 1: last time the Bills played the Jets because back in

90
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 1: Week one, no Denzel Mims, the rookie second round pick

91
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 1: who they're expecting big things from, they did not have

92
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 1: Avery william Send, the inside linebacker. He was out hurt.

93
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 1: I realized he's on the defensive side of the ball.

94
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 1: They had Perryman and Crowder, but they have never had

95
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 1: in any one of their six games this season brushad Perryman,

96
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 1: Denzel Mims, and Jamison Crowder their slot receiver. Now, Crowder's

97
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 1: dealing with a groin injury. We don't know where his

98
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:23,360
Speaker 1: status is. If he can't play, Braxton Barrios would presumably

99
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 1: slide into that slot role, but Mims hasn't played a game.

100
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:31,360
Speaker 1: Adam Gayson, his press conference today was just saying he's

101
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 1: had five NFL practices right like, he barely practiced in

102
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 1: training camp, re injured his hamstring, missed the opener against

103
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 1: the Bills, and he's practiced last week and now today

104
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 1: he said, is going to be his fifth NFL regular

105
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 1: season practice. Where do you come down on that? Stay

106
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:56,279
Speaker 1: if you're a coach, this is a rookie high expectations,

107
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 1: but has been an injury disappointment. Now he's healthy, but

108
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:02,280
Speaker 1: he's only practiced five times. Do you throw him out

109
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 1: on the field this Sunday, you're rowing six? I guess

110
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,280
Speaker 1: you got nothing to lose. Absolutely, you throw him out there.

111
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:07,720
Speaker 1: You don't give him you don't expect him to win

112
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 1: the game for you, don't put him in a position

113
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 1: to win the game for you, but you do put

114
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:14,839
Speaker 1: him in a position to help with his athleticism and speed.

115
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 1: If he's one hundred percent, you got to get him

116
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:17,720
Speaker 1: out there and let him do what he does well,

117
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:19,719
Speaker 1: at least what you've seen in practice. Give him some

118
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,039
Speaker 1: routes that he can run, give him some completions that

119
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 1: he can catch, and get him out there as much

120
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 1: as you can get him acclimated. There's no reason to

121
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:32,480
Speaker 1: hold him out now. Yeah, the injuries aside no question,

122
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:35,599
Speaker 1: hamstrings or a crusher, and some guys are more susceptible

123
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 1: to two it than others. But with some with the

124
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:40,359
Speaker 1: right kind of therapy and with the right kind of

125
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:43,719
Speaker 1: medical approach, you can get those guys to stop having

126
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 1: these problems. But it takes some commitment by the player

127
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 1: and the and the club to make sure the guy

128
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:52,919
Speaker 1: stays on top of protocols and things to do to

129
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:56,720
Speaker 1: keep yourself and your hamstrings in one piece. They'll they've

130
00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:59,279
Speaker 1: got to be all over that. But sometimes a guy

131
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 1: gets anti, particularly in this situation as a rookie, wanting

132
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:04,720
Speaker 1: to help a team that you know he'd come back

133
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:07,480
Speaker 1: too quick, which is what he did during training camp,

134
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 1: and now you week six, he still hasn't gotten on

135
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 1: the field, so we'll see where that goes. Although it

136
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 1: does appear that he will play this week. It also

137
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 1: appears that Sam Darnold is trending up, Adam Gaye saying

138
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 1: today that he thought he had a strong practice yesterday.

139
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 1: He's trying to return from a two game absence after

140
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 1: suffering a non throwing shoulder injury in the Thursday night

141
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 1: game a couple of weeks ago. Joe Flacco has made

142
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 1: the last two starts for the Jets, but it looks

143
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:37,120
Speaker 1: like Darnold is trending up in terms of getting back

144
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 1: on the field and starting for the Jets on Sunday

145
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 1: against the Bills, So we'll have to keep a close

146
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 1: eye on that. And then an interesting special teams note

147
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 1: the Jets kicker Sam Ficken, who's done pretty well this season.

148
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 1: He has a groin injury and he's not even going

149
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 1: to practice today. He was limited yesterday and he's not

150
00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 1: going to kick at all today. And a groin injury

151
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 1: is a very tough injury for a kicker. It's I mean,

152
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 1: it's pretty much groin and quad are the two worst

153
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 1: injuries you can have for a kick. A soccer guy

154
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 1: is that. Isn't that a bad thing? Well, yeah, because

155
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 1: you use it every time you swing through a kick.

156
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 1: I mean it's just and usually, but you know, most

157
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 1: most kickers train those muscles a lot to avoid such

158
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 1: a problem because when you have that, I think the

159
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 1: biggest thing it impacts is legs strength in terms of

160
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 1: kicking distance. You can still kick a football with a

161
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:33,679
Speaker 1: groin injury. It's not gonna feel good, but you can

162
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:36,560
Speaker 1: still do it. It's not like pulling up, you know,

163
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:38,679
Speaker 1: with a back injury, like oh you know, like, hey,

164
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 1: you do that. It's not like that, but there's pain

165
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:44,560
Speaker 1: in there. You can gut it out. But fifty yarders

166
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 1: are probably off the table, you know, if if he

167
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:50,679
Speaker 1: actually plays on Sundays and there is and I think

168
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:52,960
Speaker 1: it's just an outside chance that Darnel doesn't start this

169
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 1: game for the Jets. Doesn't start, you're saying does not. Yeah,

170
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:59,079
Speaker 1: we're expecting it. We expect him to start. Joe Flacco's

171
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:01,680
Speaker 1: not the answer for them. And certainly, and while it

172
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:05,440
Speaker 1: is a foregone conclusion that they're thinking about next year

173
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 1: already with all the drafts and the trades that they've made,

174
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:10,960
Speaker 1: in the nature of what those trades looked like, why

175
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:16,200
Speaker 1: would you throw Joe Flacco out there? Yeah? Yeah, if

176
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:19,559
Speaker 1: he can play, get him out there. If you missed

177
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:23,080
Speaker 1: it late yesterday, everybody knew and heard about because we

178
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 1: mentioned it on this show because it was happenings as

179
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 1: we were on the air. Quentin Spain got released and

180
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 1: then his roster spot was filled by defensive tackle Justin Zimmer,

181
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 1: who was called up from the practice squad last week.

182
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 1: Which teams this year can do twice a year without

183
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:42,320
Speaker 1: having to put the player through waivers, and then you know,

184
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 1: back on the practice squad. The following week, they added

185
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 1: him to the active roster, so he takes the open

186
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 1: roster spot left vacant by the release of Quentin Spain,

187
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:55,080
Speaker 1: and then they filled Zimmer's practice squad spot this morning

188
00:09:55,360 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 1: with linebacker Ahmad Goodden, who, interestingly enough, was asked with

189
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:03,480
Speaker 1: the Jets in training camp. He was with Denver the

190
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:08,200
Speaker 1: prior year in twenty nineteen, played sparingly, and then spent

191
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:11,839
Speaker 1: most of his time on the Jets practice squad in

192
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:14,320
Speaker 1: the rest of twenty nineteen, and then came back to

193
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 1: that roster here in this past offseason, but did not

194
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 1: make the fifty three man roster for the Jets. So

195
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 1: Amad Goodden the newest addition to the Bills practice squad.

196
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 1: There's also a ton of NFL trade deadline rumors floating around,

197
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 1: and we can pass some of those along to you,

198
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 1: but one has already been made. Yannick and Goakway, the

199
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 1: pass rusher who wanted out of Jacksonville, gets traded to

200
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 1: Minnesota at the beginning of the year, signs a one year,

201
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:42,720
Speaker 1: twelve million dollars deal to get traded, and now he

202
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 1: has been traded again from Minnesota to Baltimore in exchange

203
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:51,960
Speaker 1: for a third and a conditional fifth round pick from Baltimore.

204
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 1: And there seems to be some consternation as to whether

205
00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:59,560
Speaker 1: the Ravens can even fit the remaining five million dollars

206
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 1: of his base salary onto their cap because they're pretty

207
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 1: tight against the cap. So some of the reporters are

208
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 1: working through the numbers right now that work out of

209
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 1: the Baltimore area to find out what has to be

210
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:10,840
Speaker 1: done to make sure he can get on the roster

211
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:13,440
Speaker 1: by I guess it would be four pm today in

212
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:15,439
Speaker 1: terms of clearing money if they need to do that.

213
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 1: But that's a monster move for the Baltimore Ravens. And

214
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 1: there is further reports now that the Ravens are very

215
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 1: close to signing Dez Bryant, who has been out of

216
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:31,320
Speaker 1: the league for almost two years and is largely a

217
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:37,720
Speaker 1: possession receiver at best. I you know, I see it,

218
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 1: I get it. For those of you who are interested,

219
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:43,560
Speaker 1: the Vikings traded a second and a fifth to getting Gokway.

220
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:45,600
Speaker 1: They traded him away for a third and a fifth.

221
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 1: They almost it was almost a push for the vicot

222
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 1: every the six games they got out of him, and

223
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 1: they got him at a reduced salary for a one

224
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:57,560
Speaker 1: year deal as well from from Jacksonville. Yeah, because the

225
00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 1: franchise tag was seven. That that move, not the Ngoquay move,

226
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 1: although inway you gotta he's on a one year deal.

227
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:08,439
Speaker 1: They're getting him for ten games, that's it, and he's

228
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 1: gonna be playing out of his mind, that's it. I

229
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 1: think they are going to try to resign him, though

230
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:13,840
Speaker 1: they may. I don't know what kind of cap space

231
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 1: they've got for next year, but the cap going flat

232
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:22,079
Speaker 1: at least, Yeah, it's gonna be really difficult, but probably

233
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 1: a go for it for them. They may be losing

234
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 1: some guys on the cap, maybe three guys up anyway.

235
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:31,199
Speaker 1: But you're right, this thing, the des Bryant thing that

236
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 1: smacks of desperation, don't get that one. I don't think

237
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 1: he's your answer. If you're look at their offense is putred.

238
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, but they're they're struggling right now. But man,

239
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:44,920
Speaker 1: oh man, dez Bryant, Yeah, I'd like to think you

240
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:47,200
Speaker 1: could do better than that. That's crazy out of the league.

241
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:49,560
Speaker 1: Wasn't he the guy that went down to New Orleans

242
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:51,840
Speaker 1: and then he tore his achilles like the first day.

243
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 1: Um so that's why he's been out of the league

244
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:57,319
Speaker 1: as long as he has. He was away from it.

245
00:12:57,400 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 1: He had been released by the Cowboys. He was trying

246
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 1: to land where in New Orleans was giving him a

247
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 1: workout at guys. He goes to the workout and he

248
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:05,280
Speaker 1: rips up his achilles and is out for another year.

249
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:08,200
Speaker 1: So now he's back again trying to find his way

250
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 1: back into the league. It looks like the Ravens are

251
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:11,720
Speaker 1: going to give him an opportunity according to some reports

252
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 1: here so be interesting to see where that goes. Eight

253
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:18,560
Speaker 1: oh three, five fifty lines filling up there, and we'll

254
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 1: lead off this morning north of the border. You can't

255
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:23,960
Speaker 1: come down here and we can't go up there, Ricky,

256
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 1: but you can call into the show. Welcome to One

257
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:28,920
Speaker 1: Bill's Live. How you doing, How do you guys do it? Goood?

258
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 1: I just I'm a long time listener, first time caller.

259
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:35,959
Speaker 1: You guys are awesome. Oh thanks for doing it. I'm

260
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:38,719
Speaker 1: just wanted to say I honestly, I'm a huge Bills finn.

261
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 1: I think the last two games they were gonna be

262
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 1: hard looking at it from the beginning of the season,

263
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 1: nothing to worry about. The defense has been weaker than

264
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 1: I expected, but there's also a second half of the

265
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:52,800
Speaker 1: season to go. I think John mcderby has been doing

266
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:54,679
Speaker 1: a great job. He will writing the ship on the

267
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 1: defensive side, and if Josh Allen the offense can play

268
00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:00,199
Speaker 1: the way we play we've been playing, the first four

269
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:02,680
Speaker 1: games will be just fine. And see you guys in

270
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 1: the AFC Championship game. Thank there you go. That's a

271
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 1: nice way to look at it. Yeah, I mean ten

272
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:10,600
Speaker 1: games left on the schedule, a lot of time to

273
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 1: get something done here, and it starts this week with

274
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:16,120
Speaker 1: the Jets, and I was encouraged. And we'll hear from

275
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 1: some of the players that address the media yesterday after practice.

276
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 1: I mean, it really sounds like everybody's got their head

277
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 1: on straight, which you would expect under coach McDermott. I mean,

278
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 1: it's onto the next and then laser focus on that,

279
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:30,160
Speaker 1: and then onto the next after that. And you know,

280
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 1: I think Josh Allen and Cole Beasley, who will hear

281
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 1: from a little bit later in the show, along with

282
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 1: Stefon Diggs, are all on the same page here. It's

283
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 1: about locking in on this game, and there is no

284
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:46,160
Speaker 1: wavering of confidence in the offensive meeting rooms that they

285
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 1: are not going to bounce back in a big way

286
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 1: this week and put up production similar to what we

287
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 1: saw the first month of the season. Yeah. I've been

288
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:56,000
Speaker 1: in rooms like that where you've you've got this stretch

289
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:59,520
Speaker 1: of games, four tremendous games to start the season where

290
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 1: you're backs in the MVP conversation and then you run

291
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:04,960
Speaker 1: into a buzz saw in Tennessee Wood and it was

292
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 1: a weird game there. And then you know, run into

293
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 1: the AFC Champions and you run into a really good

294
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 1: team and that, and then you look at that game

295
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:15,520
Speaker 1: and I'm sure I know Josh is looking at that

296
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:20,920
Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs going that game, going, dudes, what was

297
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:23,440
Speaker 1: I how do I miss? What was I doing? Yeah?

298
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:26,600
Speaker 1: You know, and he's and I've I've heard Jim say that,

299
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 1: Jim Kelly say this, and I'm pretty sure Josh the

300
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 1: same kind of guy. He goes, he goes, I'm gonna

301
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:34,480
Speaker 1: make that throw. I you know, that was my bad.

302
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 1: I can't believe I missed that. He said it right

303
00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:39,320
Speaker 1: after the game. Yeah, there's gonna be throws in that game.

304
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:41,360
Speaker 1: He's gonna want back. There's throws in every game every

305
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 1: quarterback wants back, but and decisions as well. Uh, Josh, though,

306
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 1: has we have seen it where he has changed his

307
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 1: game on a week to week basis, where he has

308
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:53,480
Speaker 1: done some things that are noticeably different and you can

309
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 1: see the decision making that it's different one week to

310
00:15:56,680 --> 00:16:00,160
Speaker 1: the next week. He does seem to react to his

311
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:03,080
Speaker 1: own mistakes very quickly and learned from them. Yeah, so

312
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:05,840
Speaker 1: I would imagine that it has been a very up

313
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 1: tempo week of practice for the Bills on that side

314
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 1: of the bowl. Yeah. And I'll say, if there's one

315
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:14,080
Speaker 1: thing that we probably haven't done in terms of giving

316
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 1: Josh enough credit because obviously he's lit it up and

317
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:20,920
Speaker 1: exceeded expectations, we probably haven't talked enough about how dang

318
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:23,760
Speaker 1: smart he is. I mean we've heard day Ball mention it.

319
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 1: Brandon Bean has mentioned it in terms of what struck

320
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 1: him when they were doing the recruiting process with Josh

321
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 1: Okay's pretty dang smart. So yes, he has demonstrated an

322
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 1: ability to learn from his own mistakes. And like I've

323
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 1: said many many times, it's gotta be one of the

324
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 1: most self aware quarterbacks I've ever been around in terms of,

325
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:47,400
Speaker 1: you know, self scouting and judging his own play. When

326
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 1: he messes up, it's almost he almost instantly knows what

327
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:52,080
Speaker 1: he did wrong, and then he works all week to

328
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:54,560
Speaker 1: figure out a way to avoid those in the future.

329
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:56,960
Speaker 1: That's not saying it won't happen again, but man, he

330
00:16:57,800 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 1: busts tail to make sure it doesn't. I'm not saying

331
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 1: right or wrong. It's true just about of every quarterback.

332
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:04,640
Speaker 1: But to have Josh Allen come out and he said

333
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:07,119
Speaker 1: these words, he said, this team cannot afford to have

334
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:09,639
Speaker 1: me play poorly. That's what he said after the right

335
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 1: after the game. That really empowers the guys around you

336
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:17,280
Speaker 1: to play better. As crazy as you know, as disconnected

337
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 1: as that may sound, when you're playing with a guy

338
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:23,720
Speaker 1: like that who's putting it on he's putting on loss

339
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:26,199
Speaker 1: like that, it's like, I'm not you know, I'm not

340
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 1: gonna let that guy down. You know, I want to

341
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:30,439
Speaker 1: make sure I'm not the guy who next has to

342
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 1: say I'm the guy who played poorly and that's why

343
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:35,680
Speaker 1: we lost. That's a That's a great stance for a

344
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:37,639
Speaker 1: quarterback to take in front of the media and in

345
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 1: front of the fans, and Josh has never failed to

346
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 1: do that, and that's uh, that's one of the reasons

347
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 1: this team plays well around him. All right back to

348
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:46,879
Speaker 1: the phones into Ray in Buffalo, Ray, what do you

349
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:50,359
Speaker 1: have for us? Welcome to one Bills Live. Hey, thank you, Yeah,

350
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 1: good afternoon to you guys. Um. I just have two

351
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:58,119
Speaker 1: things as far as division goes with the Jets. Um

352
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:02,399
Speaker 1: Number one is, do you think it's possible, probably depending

353
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:04,920
Speaker 1: if they fire Gays or not, that if they actually

354
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 1: finish bad enough that they may look into Trevor Lawrence

355
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:10,240
Speaker 1: or one of the quarterbacks and look to trade Darnold.

356
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:15,080
Speaker 1: The other thing is about Fits and Tuah. Do you

357
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:17,200
Speaker 1: think what do you do you agree with that move?

358
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:18,680
Speaker 1: Do you think the Dolphins are doing that at the

359
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 1: right time? And also do you think that you know,

360
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:24,400
Speaker 1: Tuah could have rookie struggles and this could actually open

361
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:27,520
Speaker 1: the division so wide for Buffalo that there's really not

362
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:30,040
Speaker 1: much competition anymore. I mean, I know New England still

363
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 1: New England, you never know with Belichick, but just curious

364
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:34,680
Speaker 1: to your thoughts. And do you think Fit sticks around

365
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:37,840
Speaker 1: as a mentor to Tah? You know, maybe another year? Yeah?

366
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:42,879
Speaker 1: All valid questions, Ray, and thanks for the call. I

367
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:46,600
Speaker 1: will say this first of all about tah And you

368
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:48,680
Speaker 1: know we were talking about it yesterday and even the

369
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:50,720
Speaker 1: day before when the news first came down, Stephen. It

370
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 1: just crossed my mind this morning driving into work. How

371
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:57,919
Speaker 1: much do you think the two a decision to go

372
00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 1: to him now well is impacted by the early success

373
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:08,400
Speaker 1: that has been witnessed from Joe Burrow and Justin Herbert.

374
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 1: Those two guys came in and bang, off they go.

375
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:15,960
Speaker 1: Do you think that impacts a team like the Dolphins.

376
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:18,040
Speaker 1: I think it does, and all that's in the mix.

377
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:20,640
Speaker 1: You've got to consider every absolutely everything. We're you gonna

378
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 1: make a move like this. When you're gonna go from

379
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:23,880
Speaker 1: a guy who just won three out of four or four,

380
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:25,200
Speaker 1: you got you within a game of the lead of

381
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 1: the division that you haven't won in over ten years,

382
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:30,800
Speaker 1: that's in the mix. You're taking everything into account. But

383
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:35,800
Speaker 1: I also think it's this as well. Chan Gailey, offensive coordinator,

384
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:39,080
Speaker 1: Brian Flores, the head coach, and all the other coaches,

385
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:41,640
Speaker 1: the wide receivers coach, the running backs coach, all those guys.

386
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:43,119
Speaker 1: They're all in a room putting their heads together and

387
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:44,520
Speaker 1: say what do you think And they say, well, the guy,

388
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:47,920
Speaker 1: he's doing it in practice, and Chan Gailey will say, listen,

389
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:50,200
Speaker 1: if we're gonna put him in, we're gonna do this

390
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:52,159
Speaker 1: with our offense, and we're gonna protect him and we're

391
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:54,440
Speaker 1: gonna let him do this better. We're gonna do this better.

392
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 1: We're gonna move towards this. And a head coach and say, listen,

393
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:00,480
Speaker 1: can you make him? Can you make it easy? How

394
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:03,560
Speaker 1: easy can you make it on him? And Shan Kaylor

395
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:05,080
Speaker 1: give him answer, I don't have to make it that

396
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:08,680
Speaker 1: easy on this kid can play. That All that goes

397
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:11,520
Speaker 1: into the mix. There's a lot there's a strong sentiment

398
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:13,960
Speaker 1: coming out of Miami. And I know it's it's we're

399
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:15,880
Speaker 1: in that kind of Ara Brownie, but there's a strong

400
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:19,240
Speaker 1: sentiment in Miami that's saying this guy's ready. Yeah, they

401
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:21,240
Speaker 1: think they think he can and certainly they think he

402
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 1: can play. If it wasn't for his hip injury, he

403
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:26,639
Speaker 1: would have been Joe Burrow this year. He would be

404
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:29,439
Speaker 1: playing in the Cincinnati Bengals because he would have been

405
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:31,640
Speaker 1: the first player picked. But he didn't happen. He got

406
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:36,399
Speaker 1: his hip snapped in an Alabama football game and he

407
00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:39,200
Speaker 1: missed the rest of the season, so there's big question

408
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:42,600
Speaker 1: marks about him. But this guy was the guy and

409
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:44,480
Speaker 1: was going to remain the guy. This is the guy

410
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:47,800
Speaker 1: that they brought off the bench in the second half

411
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:51,280
Speaker 1: of a National championship game and benched a guy who

412
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 1: had already been in two of those games, and they

413
00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 1: put this kid in and he won it as a

414
00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 1: freshman who'd been on camp for six months. Yeah, the

415
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:06,960
Speaker 1: kid's pretty special. Yeah, they think he's gonna remain so

416
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:09,479
Speaker 1: in the NFL level in Miami, and they think this

417
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:11,639
Speaker 1: is the time to do it now. I don't know

418
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:15,359
Speaker 1: if there's ever a perfect time, but if you're riding

419
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:17,960
Speaker 1: that Fitz roller coaster, it's better to jump off before

420
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:20,920
Speaker 1: you drop right. And Fitz is in the last year

421
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 1: of his contract, and I know we also wanted our

422
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:24,880
Speaker 1: take on whether or not we think Fitz stays there.

423
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:28,320
Speaker 1: As a mentor, I will say this, Fitz couldn't be

424
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:30,800
Speaker 1: in a better spot in terms of if he gets

425
00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:34,159
Speaker 1: into games to play, because he and Chan Gailey are

426
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:37,439
Speaker 1: thickest thieves. He knows that system backwards and forwards. He

427
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:40,480
Speaker 1: could run it with his eyes closed and earplugs in

428
00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:45,760
Speaker 1: his ears. But if there is another place in the

429
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:48,920
Speaker 1: league where he even has a chance to start or

430
00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:52,159
Speaker 1: compete to start, I think he would go there. Always

431
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:55,640
Speaker 1: will be a free agent again this year, and so

432
00:21:56,440 --> 00:22:00,359
Speaker 1: he knows what's going to happen in Miami. And unless

433
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:04,919
Speaker 1: TWA falls completely on his face here for five consecutive games. Um,

434
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:09,800
Speaker 1: you know, I do happen to think that the Dolphins

435
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:11,440
Speaker 1: are going to stumble a little bit here out of

436
00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 1: the gate with Tah. I don't think it's gonna be

437
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 1: instance playing the Ram. They gotta play the Rams this week.

438
00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:19,239
Speaker 1: I mean, good lord man, that's I mean, that's not

439
00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:22,240
Speaker 1: getting easy. I'm kind of with you. I think they

440
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:26,359
Speaker 1: will make Fits, and I think it's crazy not to

441
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 1: offer Fits the backup job to Tah. I don't know

442
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:33,159
Speaker 1: if Fits wants it at this point in his career.

443
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:36,159
Speaker 1: Fits is already I don't know. We don't even know

444
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:38,919
Speaker 1: that Fitz won't start another game this year. Yeah, you know,

445
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:42,280
Speaker 1: Ta gets a tweaked ankle whatever, or you know whatever.

446
00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:47,040
Speaker 1: H Fitz probably isn't done in Miami this year. But

447
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:51,280
Speaker 1: next year, for me, if I'm Miami, that's the guy

448
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:53,320
Speaker 1: I want. I want him. I want to him. I

449
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:55,800
Speaker 1: want him a Josh McCown. I want him. Yeah, you

450
00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:59,040
Speaker 1: know he is the new Josh m right. I want

451
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 1: that guy behind my young quarterback. He's a teacher, he's

452
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:06,240
Speaker 1: a team player, he's a leader, he's got all the intangibles.

453
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:08,119
Speaker 1: He's one of the all time great teammates. And you know,

454
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:09,640
Speaker 1: in a pinch, he's gonna come out and he can

455
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:12,240
Speaker 1: come off the bench cold and win a good game.

456
00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:14,639
Speaker 1: If not, just finish it. The next three games for

457
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:16,680
Speaker 1: the Dolphins coming out of their bye week this week

458
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:22,760
Speaker 1: rams at home at Arizona and then home against the

459
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 1: Chargers in the Herbert to a battle. They do get

460
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:30,360
Speaker 1: the Jets and the Bengals, so you would you would

461
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:32,399
Speaker 1: venture to guess, but they still got to play the Chiefs.

462
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:34,560
Speaker 1: They still got to play New England. And you know

463
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:38,040
Speaker 1: what Belichick does with rookie quarterbacks, I mean he makes

464
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:40,960
Speaker 1: them well toothless. He did it. He did it with

465
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:44,760
Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick this year, and you know they do it with

466
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:47,359
Speaker 1: every quarterback all right back to the phones and to

467
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:49,959
Speaker 1: Dan in Albany, Dan, welcome to the show. You're on

468
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:54,160
Speaker 1: one of Bill's live Hey guys from the opening area.

469
00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:56,359
Speaker 1: So it's kind of hard for us to get those

470
00:23:56,400 --> 00:24:00,840
Speaker 1: games over here. Good news though, is that good news?

471
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:02,959
Speaker 1: And bad news is that we got to see Bill's

472
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:06,560
Speaker 1: play two games on the national level. Yeah. The problem

473
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:09,879
Speaker 1: I have is I'm really ticked off at these commentators,

474
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:15,919
Speaker 1: especially Terry Bradshaw. Okay, during halftime him saying that Josh

475
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:18,240
Speaker 1: Allen is not accurate and you're born with it or

476
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:20,840
Speaker 1: you're not born with it, and Alan is not born

477
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:23,600
Speaker 1: with it, and that really took me off because he's

478
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 1: been doing great. Yeah, he's worked really hard to make

479
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:28,960
Speaker 1: it better. So yeah, you lose two games and all

480
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:32,159
Speaker 1: of a sudden you suck. You know, that really irritates me,

481
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:34,440
Speaker 1: to be honest with you, and this will make you happy.

482
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:38,880
Speaker 1: I saw somebody look up Terry Bradshaw's career completion percentage,

483
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:42,800
Speaker 1: which is fifty one point seven percent. So that was

484
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:45,920
Speaker 1: the Twitter response from Bill's Mafia after they saw Jerry

485
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:50,000
Speaker 1: Bradshaw's halftime comments. So there it is. Yeah, between that

486
00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:53,639
Speaker 1: and the commentating, I mean I saw some you know,

487
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:55,639
Speaker 1: they were saying some good things about the Bills, but

488
00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:58,760
Speaker 1: mostly it was sort of like, oh, same old Bills again.

489
00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:02,000
Speaker 1: So that's all I want you to say. Yeah, it'll

490
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:05,320
Speaker 1: be a long time before that goes away. Dan, It's

491
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:07,119
Speaker 1: gonna take a long time for that to go away.

492
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:10,040
Speaker 1: Another year. If the Bills can do it get into

493
00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:12,440
Speaker 1: the playoffs, that'll be three playoff appearances in the last

494
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:15,720
Speaker 1: four years. Josh Allen taking a big step forward, and

495
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:18,920
Speaker 1: like it or not, he's gonna he's gonna revert closer

496
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:21,159
Speaker 1: back to where he was the first month of this

497
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:23,000
Speaker 1: season for a lot of these games. I'm not saying

498
00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:26,840
Speaker 1: he won't have another game a bad game, but we're

499
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 1: seeing who he's gonna be. He's his potential is going

500
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:34,720
Speaker 1: to be reached and that's big. So you just gotta

501
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:36,439
Speaker 1: have You just gotta be patient with it. And I

502
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:39,640
Speaker 1: know every I was in that game for a long

503
00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:41,720
Speaker 1: time that and I still am, I guess in this

504
00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:49,280
Speaker 1: radio thing. But you're always gonna get crushed for saying

505
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:52,440
Speaker 1: something definitive about any player. When you have a strong

506
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:54,520
Speaker 1: opinion about a player and you express it, there's always

507
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:56,359
Speaker 1: going to be people who disagree with you. And there's

508
00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:59,439
Speaker 1: a lot of Bills fans who disagree with the criticism

509
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:02,480
Speaker 1: of Josh because they see to see how hard he's worked,

510
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:04,399
Speaker 1: they see how far he's coming, they see where he

511
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:09,720
Speaker 1: could where he's going. But I got I mean my phone.

512
00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:12,840
Speaker 1: I was on the radio doing the game. My phone

513
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:16,359
Speaker 1: was blowing up over the stuff that Aikman was saying,

514
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:19,560
Speaker 1: the stuff that Terry Bradshaw was saying, all of that,

515
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:22,080
Speaker 1: and even the week before with Jay Feely and what

516
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:24,280
Speaker 1: he was talking about in the in the Tuesday night

517
00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:28,400
Speaker 1: game and Mike McCarthy and Tommy McCarthy. Those guys are friends.

518
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:30,639
Speaker 1: I mean, those guys are friends of mine. But I

519
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:33,800
Speaker 1: didn't hear their broadcast. Yeah, but it's just part of

520
00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:37,040
Speaker 1: the deal when you're in the broadcast industry. If your

521
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:40,520
Speaker 1: team doesn't win, if one team doesn't win, those fans

522
00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:43,320
Speaker 1: are really critical of the announce I'm not saying Terry

523
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:47,520
Speaker 1: Bradshaw was writing what he said. I'm just saying, well,

524
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:50,000
Speaker 1: they're paid to have an opinion. You don't get criticized

525
00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 1: when your team wins, and they're paid to have an opinion.

526
00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:54,119
Speaker 1: That's the other part of it too, and that's part

527
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 1: of their job. To Gary and Depew, we go, Gary,

528
00:26:57,119 --> 00:27:00,600
Speaker 1: you're on one pills live. What do you have for us? Hey, guys,

529
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:03,160
Speaker 1: thank you very much. Sure, what do you guys think

530
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:06,879
Speaker 1: about Gerald McCloy about the Bills picking him up. I

531
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:09,280
Speaker 1: know he's hurt right now, but he would be a

532
00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:12,040
Speaker 1: great run stopper and plus he can pass wash don't

533
00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:17,560
Speaker 1: know what we got, Key, hear your opinion on that. Yeah,

534
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:19,280
Speaker 1: I don't know how I feel about that. I mean,

535
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:21,800
Speaker 1: he certainly was a talented player, but he tore his

536
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:27,160
Speaker 1: quadriceps tendon. He's not going to play this year. He's

537
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:30,160
Speaker 1: out for this year. And what is he now, thirty five,

538
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:35,960
Speaker 1: thirty four somewhere in there. I think you'd try to

539
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:38,680
Speaker 1: do better than that. He's only thirty two, but a

540
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:42,439
Speaker 1: torn quadriceps tendon that can be a career ender. I

541
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:46,640
Speaker 1: remember Alex Carrington, a former third round pick here defensive end.

542
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:49,040
Speaker 1: Remember mega hands. He used to block the kicks and

543
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:51,359
Speaker 1: stuff that one year he had like three blocked kicks

544
00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:54,639
Speaker 1: in one season. I mean, he was a rotational player.

545
00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:57,679
Speaker 1: He wasn't a world beater, but he tore his quadriceps tendon,

546
00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:00,360
Speaker 1: tried to come back, played the next year, your tour

547
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:02,600
Speaker 1: it again out of the league. Done. And there's a

548
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:04,840
Speaker 1: couple other players that have done that and they have

549
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:07,160
Speaker 1: been unable to come back from it. Just the torque

550
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:10,880
Speaker 1: and the strain, especially lineman that they put on their

551
00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:15,160
Speaker 1: bodies trying to heal those tendons and ligaments and things

552
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:17,080
Speaker 1: like that. They really get pushed to the max and

553
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:20,680
Speaker 1: sometimes they just don't hold up even after they're corrected surgically. Right,

554
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 1: it's there's a lot. He's not gonna here's risk there,

555
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:25,639
Speaker 1: I guess, is what I'm saying. He may be, but

556
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:28,000
Speaker 1: it's not going to be this year. If you're talking

557
00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:33,280
Speaker 1: about this team this year, forget it. He's done. You

558
00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:35,080
Speaker 1: could look into you could come out and bring him

559
00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:36,480
Speaker 1: up for a tryout and sign him to a deal

560
00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:38,120
Speaker 1: next year at him, try and let him give it

561
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:40,520
Speaker 1: a short shot. I get all of that, But if

562
00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:42,520
Speaker 1: you're talking about him coming in to help you this year,

563
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:45,000
Speaker 1: it's just not gonna happen. He's not gonna be healthy

564
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:48,280
Speaker 1: enough to play. Let's go to Nick and Buffalo. Nick,

565
00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:50,160
Speaker 1: you're on one bills Live. Welcome to the show. What

566
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:53,600
Speaker 1: do you have? Hey, guys, listen. As much as I

567
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:58,280
Speaker 1: blame the players, I blame the coaching staff too. The

568
00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:01,480
Speaker 1: game against Kansas City, they lined up nine ten guys

569
00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:04,120
Speaker 1: across the front because they know Josh has trouble handling pressure.

570
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:06,200
Speaker 1: Because he's so young right now. It's just kind of

571
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:09,000
Speaker 1: reminded me of the playoff game against Houston. They seem

572
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:12,760
Speaker 1: not prepared to handle the pressure they got. Guys, they

573
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:16,080
Speaker 1: could have took advantage of an overaggressive defense with screens,

574
00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:19,120
Speaker 1: something anything. I mean, they're paid to do this. They

575
00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:21,680
Speaker 1: see game film. They know how Andy Reid is going

576
00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:25,040
Speaker 1: to take advantage of your tendencies. Our tendencies aren't. Josh

577
00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:27,640
Speaker 1: is a little weak hand wing pressure right now. So

578
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:30,800
Speaker 1: why didn't they adjust? He could have took advantage with

579
00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:36,080
Speaker 1: a screen or something, some kind of gadget player or anything.

580
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:38,520
Speaker 1: I mean, I'll say I'll say this, Nick. They did.

581
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:41,800
Speaker 1: They did have a screenplay dialed up. And if Josh

582
00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:44,800
Speaker 1: Allen could hit him, hit Devin Singletary, he had forty

583
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:46,640
Speaker 1: yards of green grass in front of him. It was

584
00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:49,920
Speaker 1: man coverage on the play. Everybody had their back turn

585
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:53,560
Speaker 1: to the line of scrimmage and Devin Singletary was completely uncovered.

586
00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:56,760
Speaker 1: That's an execution issue, not a play calling issue. The

587
00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:58,680
Speaker 1: right play was called, it would have gone for a

588
00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:01,760
Speaker 1: touchdown and he just missed him. Yeah, that's just that's

589
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:04,640
Speaker 1: just one example. Um. The simple fact that matters Brandie

590
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:06,160
Speaker 1: and I said this earlier in the week coming into

591
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:08,960
Speaker 1: this game. The two quarterbacks in the NFL that were

592
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:11,920
Speaker 1: best against the blitz or Pat Mahomes and Josh, and

593
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:15,000
Speaker 1: they were in the top three in the league at

594
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:17,080
Speaker 1: handling pressure. So I know, Nick, it looks to you

595
00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:18,960
Speaker 1: like the Chiefs thought they were going to be the

596
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:21,760
Speaker 1: team that gets him with pressures and all that. All that,

597
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:25,760
Speaker 1: they were not bringing extra guys very much. The Chiefs

598
00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:29,840
Speaker 1: they ran run blitz is more than passing blitz. They

599
00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:32,320
Speaker 1: they certainly wanted to look like they were bringing pressure,

600
00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:35,120
Speaker 1: but they never did. Really they got pressure on Josh

601
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:38,400
Speaker 1: with just four guys. Their rushers were really good. Um,

602
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:42,400
Speaker 1: I mean Chris Jones, Chris Jones, those guys are players,

603
00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:48,320
Speaker 1: all pros, And that was the story. So I get

604
00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:50,960
Speaker 1: what you're saying. It looked like the Chiefs were doing,

605
00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:54,320
Speaker 1: but they didn't bring very much pressure, extra added pressure blitzes.

606
00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:57,800
Speaker 1: Josh is usually and has shown that he's very good

607
00:30:57,800 --> 00:30:59,680
Speaker 1: against those because of his ability to get away from

608
00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:01,440
Speaker 1: him escape, and we saw him do that. A little bit.

609
00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:03,680
Speaker 1: Simple fact of the matter was this Josh, for some

610
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:08,120
Speaker 1: reason on Monday night, was not thrown at the way

611
00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:09,520
Speaker 1: we've seen him throw at this season. He was a

612
00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:11,840
Speaker 1: little off. He was off, and I'm not saying that

613
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:14,440
Speaker 1: that's indicative of where he's at now because it's not.

614
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:17,520
Speaker 1: But somewhere along the line his mindset wasn't right throwing

615
00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:20,400
Speaker 1: the football on Monday night and he reverted back to

616
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:23,240
Speaker 1: the twenty eighteen Josh Allen. Yeah, all right, we have

617
00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:25,040
Speaker 1: to take a break, but when we return, we'll get

618
00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:27,240
Speaker 1: more of your phone calls and we'll be checking in

619
00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:31,560
Speaker 1: on the sidelines at practice, which is indoors today. Maddie

620
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:33,560
Speaker 1: glab will bring us up to date on who is

621
00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:37,240
Speaker 1: and who is not practicing that's coming your way next.

00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:34,800
Speaker 1: you're on one Bills Live. What do you have for us? Yes? Hello, guys,

637
00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:37,280
Speaker 1: how are you doing today? We're doing all right? What

638
00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:40,880
Speaker 1: do you have for us? Well? I watch your show,

639
00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:45,480
Speaker 1: you know, occasionally, and I just would like to give

640
00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:49,320
Speaker 1: you Mike critique kind of of the Bills. Yeah, let

641
00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:53,640
Speaker 1: her rip this season? And well, because I think I

642
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:57,479
Speaker 1: think we've seen this movie before with the Bills, they

643
00:32:57,600 --> 00:33:00,400
Speaker 1: usually win a few games in the beginning of the year,

644
00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:11,440
Speaker 1: then going to a mid season swoon and uh and yeah,

645
00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:16,000
Speaker 1: are you there, Mark, I'm still here Oka. Uh And

646
00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:19,640
Speaker 1: I just I mean watching the last two games the

647
00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:25,480
Speaker 1: Bills played, Um, it was really embarrassing. Um. The defense

648
00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:32,520
Speaker 1: was horrible. Um there there there were some plays where uh,

649
00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:36,560
Speaker 1: Mahomes had all kinds of time in the pocket and

650
00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:39,520
Speaker 1: when they even got close to him, he just stepped

651
00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:43,040
Speaker 1: out of the pocket. And he does that to everybody. Mark,

652
00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:44,800
Speaker 1: why don't we why don't we get to the point here.

653
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:47,640
Speaker 1: What's your You know they play the Jets this weekend.

654
00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:49,760
Speaker 1: It looks like a good opportunity to bounce back if

655
00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:53,960
Speaker 1: they do. Where's that going to leave you with this team? Well,

656
00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:57,320
Speaker 1: the point is that that you know, this isn't a

657
00:33:57,400 --> 00:34:00,160
Speaker 1: new problem for Buffalo. This problem has been going man

658
00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:04,040
Speaker 1: for a long time. They're one of the worst tackling

659
00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:08,160
Speaker 1: teams in the NFL. I don't know whether it's coaching

660
00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:11,719
Speaker 1: or the players just don't care or that. I don't

661
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:13,840
Speaker 1: know what it is, but they're one of the worst

662
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:17,600
Speaker 1: tackling teams in the NFL. I haven't looked up the

663
00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:20,280
Speaker 1: stats on miss tackles, which is which is a metric

664
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:22,560
Speaker 1: that is kept in the league yet, But I can

665
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:24,279
Speaker 1: try to get a hold of that and we can

666
00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:29,080
Speaker 1: corroborate whether your assessment is valid or not. I appreciate

667
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:32,560
Speaker 1: the call, Mark, I'm sorry you're so concerned about this

668
00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:37,000
Speaker 1: being another failed season on the Bill to end. Mark, Look,

669
00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:40,400
Speaker 1: I understand that Bill's fans are scarred. I get it.

670
00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:42,520
Speaker 1: You know, the whether you want to go to the

671
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:44,920
Speaker 1: two thousand and eleven team that was three and zero

672
00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:48,040
Speaker 1: and five and two, whether you want to go to

673
00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:50,640
Speaker 1: the two thousand and eight team that started five and one,

674
00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:53,719
Speaker 1: and neither of those teams finished above five hundred. I

675
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:58,120
Speaker 1: get all the disappointments of years past, new regime things

676
00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:00,920
Speaker 1: that run a lot differently. We've even had callers tell

677
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:03,640
Speaker 1: us that this is probably the best front office head

678
00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:06,880
Speaker 1: coaching combination since Polian and Marv and I would agree

679
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:10,480
Speaker 1: with it. Yeah, So just have a little faith here.

680
00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:12,719
Speaker 1: It's been a couple of rough weeks against two very

681
00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:16,440
Speaker 1: very good teams, and they have a good chance of

682
00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:19,000
Speaker 1: getting healthy and bouncing back this week against a hapless

683
00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:22,920
Speaker 1: Jets team. Now that might not put any stock in

684
00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:26,480
Speaker 1: the in the price of what you think of the Bills,

685
00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:30,320
Speaker 1: may not raise their stock price in your mind, but

686
00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:32,560
Speaker 1: getting another way and it will certainly help towards getting

687
00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:34,239
Speaker 1: to the end goal. And they got a good chance

688
00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:36,520
Speaker 1: againting one he says, he said, we've seen this before.

689
00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:39,880
Speaker 1: How's this end? Then? How's this season going to end?

690
00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:42,920
Speaker 1: Because if you know how this season's gonna end, put

691
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:46,080
Speaker 1: your money where your mouth is. Go to Vegas, because

692
00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:48,200
Speaker 1: if it's gonna end up like two thousand, what is

693
00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:51,080
Speaker 1: it eight? Two thousand and six, one of those seasons

694
00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:53,360
Speaker 1: where they start out fast and falter, or is it

695
00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:56,000
Speaker 1: gonna end up like like last year where they get

696
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:57,800
Speaker 1: to the playoffs and have a chance to win a

697
00:35:57,840 --> 00:36:02,120
Speaker 1: playoff game and get deeper into the tournament, Because those

698
00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:05,160
Speaker 1: are two very different endings. Um So, I don't know.

699
00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:08,600
Speaker 1: Every year is different. This is this team is much

700
00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:11,200
Speaker 1: different than it was last year. It's the strengths are different,

701
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:15,000
Speaker 1: the weaknesses are different. I know this. It's even last

702
00:36:15,080 --> 00:36:16,520
Speaker 1: year and this year. It's a lot of fun to

703
00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:19,720
Speaker 1: watch these teams. We'll watch these this team play whoever

704
00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:23,759
Speaker 1: it may be. And I think this year more so

705
00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:27,320
Speaker 1: than many years, or if not all these years combined

706
00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:29,839
Speaker 1: before this, you feel like you've got a shot at

707
00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:32,640
Speaker 1: every game and to win whoever it is, because of

708
00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:35,239
Speaker 1: the offense and the way they're playing. Eight oh three

709
00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:39,319
Speaker 1: five fifty fifty two five fifty. Let's go to Bill,

710
00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:42,719
Speaker 1: who I think has the trade deadline on his mind

711
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:44,920
Speaker 1: or maybe looking to acquire some more talent. Bill, what

712
00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:47,960
Speaker 1: do you have for us here? Welcome to the show. Yeah,

713
00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:51,640
Speaker 1: follows them. I'm wondering if you have any information where

714
00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:57,400
Speaker 1: the Bills are looking to do a trade bolster defensive

715
00:36:57,440 --> 00:37:03,440
Speaker 1: line and one in particular, Jerry Hughes. He used to

716
00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:06,839
Speaker 1: be good, but I haven't heard his name tab at

717
00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:11,960
Speaker 1: all when the Bills are on defense. Yeah, enlighten me. Yeah, No,

718
00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:14,600
Speaker 1: I get what you're saying. Bill. I'm gonna hang up

719
00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:17,560
Speaker 1: so you can listen here. Thanks for the call. I

720
00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:20,560
Speaker 1: think what you have there is a player who can

721
00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:23,600
Speaker 1: generate pressure, even now at thirty two years of age.

722
00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:27,919
Speaker 1: As we've said in past weeks, here though, the ball

723
00:37:28,040 --> 00:37:30,839
Speaker 1: is coming out so fast from so many of these

724
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:34,560
Speaker 1: quarterbacks that even the best pass rushers are having trouble

725
00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:36,480
Speaker 1: racking up sacks. I mean, if you look at Mario

726
00:37:36,520 --> 00:37:38,759
Speaker 1: Addison for the Bills, he leads the team with three

727
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:41,719
Speaker 1: sacks on the season, two of them or when the

728
00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:45,200
Speaker 1: quarterback has stepped up in the pocket and and Mario

729
00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:47,399
Speaker 1: has been the closest guy there and has been the beneficiary.

730
00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:49,800
Speaker 1: Not not saying Mario Addison is in a good pass rusher,

731
00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:52,320
Speaker 1: he obviously is. He's got a track record to prove it.

732
00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:55,920
Speaker 1: My point is he's kind of fallen into two of

733
00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:58,360
Speaker 1: his three sacks of this season. To a certain extent,

734
00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:03,520
Speaker 1: Jerry's coming off the edge every single time. I know,

735
00:38:03,719 --> 00:38:05,480
Speaker 1: in the last couple of years He's been near the

736
00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:08,799
Speaker 1: top of the league in pressure rate, which is calculated

737
00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:11,680
Speaker 1: by how many times a quarterback has to hurry a throw,

738
00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:17,040
Speaker 1: move off platform, flushed out of the pocket, sacked. Those

739
00:38:17,080 --> 00:38:19,640
Speaker 1: all factor into that metrics. So it's not just sacks.

740
00:38:19,719 --> 00:38:22,840
Speaker 1: It's more than that. And Jerry, according to those metrics,

741
00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:25,399
Speaker 1: does a pretty good job. You're right, we haven't heard

742
00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:28,880
Speaker 1: his name much. He hasn't done a whole lot out there. Now.

743
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:31,360
Speaker 1: Last year he did play hurt as far as I know.

744
00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:34,840
Speaker 1: Now he is healthy, one hundred percent healthy, you know,

745
00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:38,400
Speaker 1: in a manner of speaking. And yeah, I mean, but

746
00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:41,440
Speaker 1: it's him, it's a bunch of other guys. I mean,

747
00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:45,040
Speaker 1: the collective has to be better. Upfront. It hasn't been

748
00:38:45,080 --> 00:38:48,320
Speaker 1: good as a collective. Forget about just Jerry. Yeah, they have.

749
00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:52,280
Speaker 1: They have not played well defensively yet not to their standard,

750
00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:54,840
Speaker 1: there's no question about it. And Jerry Hughes is a

751
00:38:54,920 --> 00:38:56,520
Speaker 1: part of that, just like all those other guys who

752
00:38:56,520 --> 00:38:58,520
Speaker 1: are a part of it. They're still tinkering with the

753
00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:01,600
Speaker 1: rotation and upfront or trying to find something that will work.

754
00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:05,160
Speaker 1: Last week they benched two guys and elevated two guys.

755
00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:08,319
Speaker 1: In fact, they elevated Justin Zimmer and then they ran

756
00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:10,360
Speaker 1: the risk of somebody signing him off their practice squad,

757
00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:12,120
Speaker 1: so they had to activate him. So they signed him

758
00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:14,640
Speaker 1: permanently to the fifty three so they wouldn't lose him.

759
00:39:14,960 --> 00:39:18,040
Speaker 1: So somebody's seeing something from from the Bills d line

760
00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:21,799
Speaker 1: that they want to poach. But the entire defense has

761
00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:23,719
Speaker 1: not played as well as it did a year ago.

762
00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:24,880
Speaker 1: I think some of it has to do with the

763
00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:28,000
Speaker 1: quality of quarterbacks that they have faced, which has been

764
00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:30,600
Speaker 1: an upgrade from the first half of last season. But

765
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:34,399
Speaker 1: you're right, and I'm not gonna single out Jerry Hughes

766
00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:36,560
Speaker 1: as the guy who's you know, you're thinking, hey, he

767
00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:39,840
Speaker 1: should be doing a B or C. The whole defense.

768
00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:43,480
Speaker 1: We'd love to see them play a lot better, more sacks,

769
00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:47,000
Speaker 1: more run stopping, and I get what happened to Kansas City,

770
00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:49,440
Speaker 1: And of course Tennessee is an obvious point because that's

771
00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:52,840
Speaker 1: the way they run things. But this is a defense

772
00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:55,719
Speaker 1: that has to play better. And they'll tell you that

773
00:39:56,280 --> 00:39:58,160
Speaker 1: without me having to stand here in a harp on

774
00:39:58,280 --> 00:40:01,080
Speaker 1: it on the radio. But you're right, and as far

775
00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:05,279
Speaker 1: as you know. To start out, Bill asked about making

776
00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:07,360
Speaker 1: a trade to do something to some good getting a

777
00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:10,120
Speaker 1: b D lineman or whatever. No question that that's on

778
00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:14,200
Speaker 1: the table, and the Bills are probably in talks and

779
00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:16,720
Speaker 1: kicking the tires on a lot of guys around the league.

780
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:20,319
Speaker 1: The question is how far down that rabbit hole you're

781
00:40:20,360 --> 00:40:22,840
Speaker 1: gonna get, And there's not very many. I would be

782
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:27,200
Speaker 1: surprised if there was even a handful. I don't even

783
00:40:27,239 --> 00:40:30,120
Speaker 1: think there'd be five guys in the entire National Football

784
00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:32,520
Speaker 1: League who would meet the criteria that would say, Okay,

785
00:40:32,600 --> 00:40:34,120
Speaker 1: that's the kind of deal the Bills need to make

786
00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:39,279
Speaker 1: a a guy who fits their profile size positionwise, big

787
00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:44,400
Speaker 1: defensive run stopper, Ted Washington type, you know what, Gerald

788
00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:46,600
Speaker 1: McCoy type when he was healthy. That that kind of

789
00:40:46,680 --> 00:40:49,840
Speaker 1: player and has a contract in place where you're not

790
00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:51,520
Speaker 1: going to get him for ten games and have to

791
00:40:51,560 --> 00:40:55,399
Speaker 1: say goodbye to him, and is available for a team

792
00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:58,640
Speaker 1: for the kind of draft picker, capitol or player that

793
00:40:58,719 --> 00:41:02,080
Speaker 1: you would be willing to part with. Those guys, that's

794
00:41:02,120 --> 00:41:05,400
Speaker 1: a that's a tough group of criteria to meet for

795
00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:07,399
Speaker 1: another team or to find a guy on another team

796
00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:10,759
Speaker 1: who fits that criteria. It's a small, very short list,

797
00:41:11,040 --> 00:41:13,000
Speaker 1: and I couldn't even begin to sit here and say, hey,

798
00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:16,279
Speaker 1: I got a guy. We've already had a guy. You know,

799
00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:18,400
Speaker 1: somebody called in asked me by Gerald McCoy, who is

800
00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:21,279
Speaker 1: And he's not gonna play this year. He's injured. So

801
00:41:22,040 --> 00:41:25,359
Speaker 1: you're down to a very small group of players who

802
00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:27,759
Speaker 1: would fit into what the Bills would want in a

803
00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:30,719
Speaker 1: trade like this a the right price obviously, or be

804
00:41:31,600 --> 00:41:33,880
Speaker 1: a guy with enough years on his contract to make

805
00:41:33,920 --> 00:41:35,440
Speaker 1: it worth it, so you're not gonna get him for

806
00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:39,640
Speaker 1: ten games or maybe even or maybe even twenty six

807
00:41:39,760 --> 00:41:43,040
Speaker 1: games this year and next year, and you don't have

808
00:41:43,120 --> 00:41:46,759
Speaker 1: to give up a number one, or you know a

809
00:41:46,880 --> 00:41:49,560
Speaker 1: player that's near and dear to you and everybody around

810
00:41:49,640 --> 00:41:51,520
Speaker 1: you that you've got to have going forward. You know,

811
00:41:51,640 --> 00:41:54,120
Speaker 1: a quality player, the price is going to be too steep.

812
00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:58,440
Speaker 1: So that's it's a small list of players. And sometimes

813
00:41:58,520 --> 00:42:00,040
Speaker 1: the player might be on a guy a team in

814
00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:02,080
Speaker 1: your division. They're not going to do it. Yeah, So

815
00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:06,080
Speaker 1: it's a it's a really hard deal to find and

816
00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:09,440
Speaker 1: to strike with another team, Yes, especially a mid season

817
00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:12,320
Speaker 1: you know, when everybody's got their own self interests, especially

818
00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:14,000
Speaker 1: if they feel they're in the hunt. All right, we

819
00:42:14,120 --> 00:42:16,000
Speaker 1: have to take a break, but real quick, for one

820
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:18,319
Speaker 1: of those previous callers that labeled the Bills the worst

821
00:42:18,320 --> 00:42:21,319
Speaker 1: tackling team in the league, they are not. I looked

822
00:42:21,360 --> 00:42:25,880
Speaker 1: it up. They're missed tackle percentage this season nine point

823
00:42:25,960 --> 00:42:31,120
Speaker 1: four percent. That's the eleventh best mistackle percentage, meaning they're

824
00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:33,080
Speaker 1: one of the they're in the almost in the top

825
00:42:33,160 --> 00:42:37,440
Speaker 1: ten in terms of fewest misstackles. So nine point four

826
00:42:37,480 --> 00:42:41,280
Speaker 1: percentage there mistackle percentage. The league leader. The league worst

827
00:42:41,320 --> 00:42:44,439
Speaker 1: tackling team, the Las Vegas Raiders, seventeen and a half

828
00:42:44,520 --> 00:42:46,840
Speaker 1: percent of the time they miss tackles. The team with

829
00:42:46,920 --> 00:42:50,360
Speaker 1: the most total misstackles this season, the New York Jets

830
00:42:50,600 --> 00:42:54,240
Speaker 1: sixty six. They're also second in the league in mistackled percentage,

831
00:42:54,280 --> 00:42:56,520
Speaker 1: behind the Raiders. So there you go, Glad we can

832
00:42:56,560 --> 00:42:58,920
Speaker 1: get that answer for you. The Bills are not the

833
00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:01,719
Speaker 1: worst tackling team in the league. Not by a long shot.

834
00:43:02,040 --> 00:43:05,080
Speaker 1: All right, So, people waiting on hold, hang there, especially

835
00:43:05,200 --> 00:43:08,000
Speaker 1: David and Wheatfield and Barry and cheeked Wagga. You'll lead

836
00:43:08,040 --> 00:43:09,880
Speaker 1: us off in the next segment as we continue to

837
00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:12,720
Speaker 1: take your phone calls. Here on a one Bill's Live Thursday,

838
00:43:12,960 --> 00:43:29,959
Speaker 1: presented by Kalid to health. It's Buffalo Bill's Radio, Chris Brown,

839
00:43:30,040 --> 00:43:32,879
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker closing up our number one of the show

840
00:43:33,040 --> 00:43:36,280
Speaker 1: here on a Thursday, broadcasting live from the Seneca Studios

841
00:43:36,800 --> 00:43:39,759
Speaker 1: in Orchard Park. And we do want to get back

842
00:43:39,760 --> 00:43:42,440
Speaker 1: to the phones right away. Our Twitter poll in case

843
00:43:42,520 --> 00:43:45,280
Speaker 1: you can't call in at eight oh three five fifty

844
00:43:45,520 --> 00:43:47,560
Speaker 1: is asking you will a dominant win over the Jets

845
00:43:47,600 --> 00:43:51,080
Speaker 1: on Sunday, restore your confidence in this Bill team And

846
00:43:51,160 --> 00:43:53,440
Speaker 1: if so, why and I if not, tell us why.

847
00:43:53,520 --> 00:43:55,799
Speaker 1: And right now people are saying a big win over

848
00:43:55,800 --> 00:43:57,400
Speaker 1: the Jets isn't going to mean a hill of beans.

849
00:43:57,840 --> 00:44:00,720
Speaker 1: Fifty four percent of you saying yeah, won't be impressed.

850
00:44:01,040 --> 00:44:04,040
Speaker 1: We won't have my confidence restored just yet, all right.

851
00:44:04,239 --> 00:44:07,240
Speaker 1: I mean, I know they're going against they're going against

852
00:44:07,239 --> 00:44:09,520
Speaker 1: an over team, so I get it. But I think

853
00:44:09,920 --> 00:44:12,160
Speaker 1: more so than this. And there's this. There's a leverage

854
00:44:12,239 --> 00:44:15,040
Speaker 1: chart out now that'll tell you a giving idea. What

855
00:44:15,200 --> 00:44:17,800
Speaker 1: leverage chart? This sounds advanced, yeah, And it's it's a

856
00:44:17,880 --> 00:44:20,840
Speaker 1: probability of teams where they are now and how and

857
00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:23,320
Speaker 1: projecting course across the course of the net rest of

858
00:44:23,360 --> 00:44:25,440
Speaker 1: their season, how probable they are of getting in the

859
00:44:25,480 --> 00:44:27,480
Speaker 1: playoffs if they win. If the Bills win, this is

860
00:44:27,480 --> 00:44:31,520
Speaker 1: going to be up around probability of making the playoffs,

861
00:44:32,120 --> 00:44:34,200
Speaker 1: and it does help them. And if they but here's

862
00:44:34,239 --> 00:44:39,120
Speaker 1: the thing, if they lose this game, it's unbelievable that

863
00:44:39,440 --> 00:44:43,279
Speaker 1: the downer that will be. I mean, it's a it's

864
00:44:43,320 --> 00:44:44,920
Speaker 1: a it's like one of those games that would just

865
00:44:45,360 --> 00:44:49,320
Speaker 1: absolutely by. You know, cynics will say this is a

866
00:44:49,680 --> 00:44:52,520
Speaker 1: this is a no win proposition. No win because if

867
00:44:52,560 --> 00:44:55,800
Speaker 1: you win the game, you didn't win convincingly enough. And

868
00:44:55,920 --> 00:44:58,439
Speaker 1: if you lose the game, oh my gosh, how could

869
00:44:58,440 --> 00:45:00,880
Speaker 1: you lose to that team? You know that you're a fraud,

870
00:45:01,080 --> 00:45:03,320
Speaker 1: you're you know, you'll never amount to anything. And and

871
00:45:03,520 --> 00:45:06,239
Speaker 1: and there's you know, you can make an argument for

872
00:45:06,360 --> 00:45:09,320
Speaker 1: both those. It's like pump the brakes. It's gonna be okay,

873
00:45:09,600 --> 00:45:11,640
Speaker 1: and you never know how it's gonna look. So, for instance,

874
00:45:11,680 --> 00:45:15,640
Speaker 1: if if you lose the Jets and and you know,

875
00:45:15,920 --> 00:45:18,520
Speaker 1: you lose your four and three, you lose your quarterback

876
00:45:19,800 --> 00:45:22,000
Speaker 1: on the opening drive or something like that, and then

877
00:45:22,080 --> 00:45:24,439
Speaker 1: you can you've got an idea of maybe that could happen.

878
00:45:24,560 --> 00:45:27,480
Speaker 1: But yeah, this is a but this is a game

879
00:45:28,320 --> 00:45:30,759
Speaker 1: just good, get in, get the win, get out. Good

880
00:45:30,840 --> 00:45:33,719
Speaker 1: teams win this game. Another check in the bon You

881
00:45:33,840 --> 00:45:35,880
Speaker 1: move it along. All right, back to the Fallings to

882
00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:38,200
Speaker 1: David and we field. David, you're on one Bill's Live.

883
00:45:38,280 --> 00:45:41,879
Speaker 1: What do you have for us, hi, guys, Well, there's

884
00:45:41,920 --> 00:45:43,800
Speaker 1: so many things that you guys have talked about, but

885
00:45:43,880 --> 00:45:47,400
Speaker 1: I want to concentrate on the defense. I think a huge,

886
00:45:48,160 --> 00:45:51,840
Speaker 1: huge loss for the defense will Startula opting out. And

887
00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:56,839
Speaker 1: also I think, um I agree that that the front

888
00:45:56,880 --> 00:45:58,880
Speaker 1: office and the coaching staff is the best we've had

889
00:45:58,880 --> 00:46:01,160
Speaker 1: in a long time. But I think Randon being made

890
00:46:01,200 --> 00:46:04,680
Speaker 1: a huge mistake letting Jordan Phillips go. I think those

891
00:46:04,719 --> 00:46:06,719
Speaker 1: two guys up the middle eating up blocks so that

892
00:46:06,840 --> 00:46:09,880
Speaker 1: Tremaine can do his I think Tremaine's looking bad this

893
00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:12,480
Speaker 1: year because he doesn't have those guys eating up blocks,

894
00:46:12,800 --> 00:46:16,279
Speaker 1: and those those guards and tackles are getting out into

895
00:46:16,360 --> 00:46:19,399
Speaker 1: the secondary. And he's not real he's not super big,

896
00:46:19,480 --> 00:46:22,360
Speaker 1: and he's not real good at shedding blocks. He's effective

897
00:46:22,440 --> 00:46:25,520
Speaker 1: when he's free to roam sideline to sidelines. And I

898
00:46:25,640 --> 00:46:27,680
Speaker 1: think there was a big mistake on Brandon Beings part.

899
00:46:27,719 --> 00:46:30,200
Speaker 1: The other thing I want your guys on its opinion

900
00:46:31,160 --> 00:46:35,920
Speaker 1: again holding Brandon being accountable a little bit so far

901
00:46:36,080 --> 00:46:39,320
Speaker 1: to me, I don't want to say their bus but

902
00:46:39,640 --> 00:46:43,759
Speaker 1: Oliver and Fanessa both looked like whiffs. I mean, am

903
00:46:43,800 --> 00:46:47,560
Speaker 1: I just being impatient? Are they? Is this something that

904
00:46:47,640 --> 00:46:50,360
Speaker 1: they just need more time to develop? I mean, Ethanessa

905
00:46:50,480 --> 00:46:52,600
Speaker 1: being inactive for the first three or four games is

906
00:46:52,719 --> 00:46:55,960
Speaker 1: kind of a clue to me. And you know ed

907
00:46:56,040 --> 00:46:59,759
Speaker 1: Oliver has basically been in effectives. Yeah, I would say

908
00:46:59,840 --> 00:47:02,120
Speaker 1: on your last two people that you mentioned there, David

909
00:47:02,239 --> 00:47:05,279
Speaker 1: would I would disagree on Epanessa. The kids barely got

910
00:47:05,320 --> 00:47:06,680
Speaker 1: on the field. I don't even know how you think

911
00:47:06,719 --> 00:47:09,560
Speaker 1: you can make an assessment right now. I mean, perfect example,

912
00:47:09,600 --> 00:47:11,680
Speaker 1: he played four snaps against the Titans, and now you're

913
00:47:11,719 --> 00:47:13,640
Speaker 1: going to say, well, this isn't that an indication that

914
00:47:13,719 --> 00:47:15,400
Speaker 1: he's no good? He can't get on the field. This

915
00:47:15,600 --> 00:47:19,920
Speaker 1: is the way, to a large degree, how Sean McDermott

916
00:47:19,920 --> 00:47:24,160
Speaker 1: handles rookie players unless they are so over the top,

917
00:47:24,840 --> 00:47:27,759
Speaker 1: dominant on the practice field and look ready to play,

918
00:47:28,120 --> 00:47:31,520
Speaker 1: Tredevious White being an example in twenty seventeen, Cody Ford

919
00:47:31,560 --> 00:47:34,400
Speaker 1: has been a starter since day one. Yeah, unless they

920
00:47:34,520 --> 00:47:38,760
Speaker 1: show and prove to them that they are ready convincingly

921
00:47:39,960 --> 00:47:42,880
Speaker 1: they will get sprinkled in as the year wears on.

922
00:47:43,080 --> 00:47:45,319
Speaker 1: And Oliver didn't start right, well, what did he start

923
00:47:45,360 --> 00:47:48,040
Speaker 1: the first game? And then he didn't. He got replaced

924
00:47:48,080 --> 00:47:49,840
Speaker 1: in the lineup by Jordan Phillips in week two or

925
00:47:49,920 --> 00:47:52,160
Speaker 1: week three, and he even get back into the starting

926
00:47:52,200 --> 00:47:55,480
Speaker 1: lineup till like week ten. If you remember that from

927
00:47:55,560 --> 00:47:57,680
Speaker 1: last year. It's a good point by you though about

928
00:47:57,840 --> 00:48:00,600
Speaker 1: particularly about Jordan Phillips and Starlow two yeh, I said

929
00:48:00,600 --> 00:48:02,799
Speaker 1: this yesterday, and I even I think I've thought about

930
00:48:02,800 --> 00:48:04,960
Speaker 1: it a little bit. I think even more now. Certainly

931
00:48:05,000 --> 00:48:06,440
Speaker 1: they didn't think they were gonna be able to keep

932
00:48:06,560 --> 00:48:09,200
Speaker 1: Jordan Phillips, uh for the price that he was going

933
00:48:09,239 --> 00:48:11,000
Speaker 1: to command on the open market. They didn't want to

934
00:48:11,040 --> 00:48:12,600
Speaker 1: pay it, and they didn't want they didn't want to

935
00:48:12,640 --> 00:48:14,279
Speaker 1: pay that much money. You can call him on that,

936
00:48:14,360 --> 00:48:17,439
Speaker 1: and that's no problem. But nobody knew Starlow to Lela

937
00:48:17,640 --> 00:48:20,840
Speaker 1: was not going to be on this team. And it

938
00:48:21,000 --> 00:48:24,239
Speaker 1: and it equates with the two eighteen offensive line that

939
00:48:24,320 --> 00:48:29,440
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills had that lost Eric would unexpectedly and

940
00:48:30,480 --> 00:48:33,000
Speaker 1: Richie incognito unexpectedly. They didn't have a chance to recover

941
00:48:33,760 --> 00:48:36,120
Speaker 1: two of their best linemen, a Pro Bowl guard and

942
00:48:37,080 --> 00:48:40,680
Speaker 1: a Pro Bowl center. They lost him, uh and all unexpectedly,

943
00:48:40,880 --> 00:48:43,080
Speaker 1: and this was at a time no time to recover.

944
00:48:43,400 --> 00:48:45,680
Speaker 1: They didn't have the assets to recover from that. They

945
00:48:45,960 --> 00:48:47,719
Speaker 1: are you know, they had so many draft picks, and

946
00:48:47,719 --> 00:48:50,160
Speaker 1: then when you throw two Pro Bowl caliber players, you

947
00:48:50,200 --> 00:48:52,279
Speaker 1: gotta replace. They just couldn't do it. That's the kind

948
00:48:52,280 --> 00:48:54,399
Speaker 1: of what they're in. With Jordan Phillips, you can say

949
00:48:54,440 --> 00:48:56,040
Speaker 1: they were gonna try and replace him, and they were

950
00:48:56,040 --> 00:48:59,319
Speaker 1: gonna bring in, you know, these other guys, but they didn't.

951
00:48:59,360 --> 00:49:01,040
Speaker 1: No star is going to opt out. It didn't have

952
00:49:01,080 --> 00:49:04,160
Speaker 1: any idea what kind of scenario they would be looking

953
00:49:04,280 --> 00:49:07,600
Speaker 1: at with the opt ins opt outs, Who would do it?

954
00:49:07,640 --> 00:49:09,279
Speaker 1: Who had no way to predict? You can't put that

955
00:49:09,400 --> 00:49:12,239
Speaker 1: on the GM. So that's that for me, that's kind

956
00:49:12,239 --> 00:49:15,560
Speaker 1: of hard. But yes, the lack of both those guys,

957
00:49:16,080 --> 00:49:18,799
Speaker 1: I think has made a difference for this defensive line.

958
00:49:18,840 --> 00:49:21,640
Speaker 1: It's made Tremaine Edmunds, It's made it more difficult for

959
00:49:21,680 --> 00:49:23,839
Speaker 1: Tremaine Edmonds to make plays to run and hit, which

960
00:49:23,920 --> 00:49:26,279
Speaker 1: is what he does best. As the caller mentioned, and

961
00:49:27,120 --> 00:49:30,640
Speaker 1: I think it's also compromised at Oliver's ability to make

962
00:49:30,719 --> 00:49:33,960
Speaker 1: plays because if you've got a big guy next to him,

963
00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:37,040
Speaker 1: I mean, think about all the times that Phillips was

964
00:49:37,239 --> 00:49:40,920
Speaker 1: next to Ed Oliver. That's a hell of a tandem

965
00:49:41,000 --> 00:49:43,560
Speaker 1: right there. Because Phillips is a home wrecker at three

966
00:49:43,680 --> 00:49:46,400
Speaker 1: hundred and forty pounds with uncommon athletic ability for a

967
00:49:46,480 --> 00:49:49,800
Speaker 1: man that size. He's gonna command two people. Now you

968
00:49:49,920 --> 00:49:52,160
Speaker 1: put ed in a one on one situation on almost

969
00:49:52,200 --> 00:49:54,719
Speaker 1: every snap, He's gonna win a lot more of those

970
00:49:55,000 --> 00:49:57,040
Speaker 1: if he's one on one with a guard or one

971
00:49:57,120 --> 00:50:00,360
Speaker 1: on one with the center. Whatever it is that is

972
00:50:00,440 --> 00:50:04,400
Speaker 1: gone now, and I mean Hindsights twenty twenty. You can

973
00:50:04,480 --> 00:50:06,800
Speaker 1: argue it as much as you want. If you wanted

974
00:50:06,840 --> 00:50:09,960
Speaker 1: to bring back Jordan Phillips, then you probably had to

975
00:50:10,080 --> 00:50:13,320
Speaker 1: part ways with Trent Murphy. They made their decision that

976
00:50:13,440 --> 00:50:16,640
Speaker 1: they made to go forward as they saw best fit,

977
00:50:17,200 --> 00:50:23,359
Speaker 1: and I think Star's absence compromised the decision to move

978
00:50:23,440 --> 00:50:28,720
Speaker 1: on from Phillips and not overpay, because now you didn't

979
00:50:28,719 --> 00:50:31,759
Speaker 1: have anybody else to turn to to fill that role

980
00:50:31,880 --> 00:50:35,680
Speaker 1: as capably as those two did. There was a I

981
00:50:35,760 --> 00:50:38,759
Speaker 1: mean we've seen it. There's a noticeable drop off from

982
00:50:38,800 --> 00:50:41,080
Speaker 1: those two guys who manned that position last year. All right,

983
00:50:41,080 --> 00:50:42,680
Speaker 1: we have to take a break, but when we return

984
00:50:42,719 --> 00:50:45,160
Speaker 1: an hour number two, Barry and cheek Twaga is going

985
00:50:45,200 --> 00:50:46,960
Speaker 1: to lead us off and the rest of your holding

986
00:50:46,960 --> 00:50:48,759
Speaker 1: at eight oh three, five fifty. We will get to

987
00:50:48,840 --> 00:50:50,719
Speaker 1: you in the next segment as we have to take

988
00:50:50,719 --> 00:50:53,120
Speaker 1: a break. Here, quick sports update and then we're right

989
00:50:53,160 --> 00:50:55,320
Speaker 1: back to you on One Bill's Live, presented by Kalid

990
00:50:55,320 --> 00:51:09,440
Speaker 1: to Health. This is Buffalo Bill's Radio, Bills Radio Network

991
00:51:09,960 --> 00:51:13,640
Speaker 1: Sports Update. You're a sports update from One Bill's Drive.

992
00:51:13,719 --> 00:51:16,200
Speaker 1: Practice going on in the Bills fieldhouse today, so we

993
00:51:16,239 --> 00:51:19,240
Speaker 1: won't get an injury update until the Thursday injury report

994
00:51:19,400 --> 00:51:23,840
Speaker 1: is released later this afternoon. John Brown, Tyrrell Dotson, Cody Ford,

995
00:51:24,200 --> 00:51:28,080
Speaker 1: and Dawson Knox did not practice on Wednesday. Matt Milano

996
00:51:28,120 --> 00:51:31,920
Speaker 1: and Cam Lewis were limited in Wednesday's practice. The Bill's

997
00:51:31,960 --> 00:51:34,440
Speaker 1: next opponent continues to make roster moves. The forty nine

998
00:51:34,480 --> 00:51:37,520
Speaker 1: ers have acquired outside linebacker Jordan Willis in a trade

999
00:51:37,600 --> 00:51:39,279
Speaker 1: with the New York Jets. The Jets will get a

1000
00:51:39,400 --> 00:51:42,720
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two sixth round pick in exchange for Willis

1001
00:51:42,760 --> 00:51:45,560
Speaker 1: and Edge rusher while also sending a twenty twenty one

1002
00:51:45,680 --> 00:51:49,360
Speaker 1: seventh rounder with Willis to the Bay Area. Just before

1003
00:51:49,400 --> 00:51:51,440
Speaker 1: the start of the season, the Vikings thought they might

1004
00:51:51,600 --> 00:51:56,200
Speaker 1: be one big time pass rusher away from the Super Bowl,

1005
00:51:56,840 --> 00:52:00,040
Speaker 1: so they acquired Janikin Gockway from the Jaguars. Apparently it

1006
00:52:00,080 --> 00:52:02,800
Speaker 1: didn't work out after six games, and Gockway is on

1007
00:52:02,840 --> 00:52:05,800
Speaker 1: the move again, being traded from the Vikings to the Ravens.

1008
00:52:06,080 --> 00:52:08,319
Speaker 1: The Ravens are sending a twenty twenty one third round

1009
00:52:08,360 --> 00:52:10,759
Speaker 1: pick in a conditional twenty twenty two fifth round pick

1010
00:52:11,120 --> 00:52:14,600
Speaker 1: to the Vikings four and Goackway tonight in the NFL

1011
00:52:14,680 --> 00:52:17,320
Speaker 1: Thursday Night Football that features two one win teams. But

1012
00:52:17,440 --> 00:52:19,239
Speaker 1: believe it or not, despite the records, the Eagles and

1013
00:52:19,280 --> 00:52:21,920
Speaker 1: the Giants are right in the thick of the NFC

1014
00:52:22,200 --> 00:52:25,799
Speaker 1: East Divisional race, which currently has the two and four

1015
00:52:26,040 --> 00:52:29,719
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys at the front of the pack. Kickoff is

1016
00:52:29,840 --> 00:52:33,400
Speaker 1: set for a twenty in Philadelphia. The Raiders place right

1017
00:52:33,440 --> 00:52:36,520
Speaker 1: tackle Trent Brown on the reserve COVID nineteen less Wednesday,

1018
00:52:36,840 --> 00:52:39,760
Speaker 1: then had to send all five of their starting offensive

1019
00:52:39,800 --> 00:52:43,000
Speaker 1: lineman home because they were around their veteran teammate. Head

1020
00:52:43,000 --> 00:52:45,600
Speaker 1: coach John Gruden is optimistic about the other offensive lineman

1021
00:52:45,680 --> 00:52:47,960
Speaker 1: testing negative and the Raiders being able to field a

1022
00:52:48,040 --> 00:52:52,120
Speaker 1: team on Sunday against the Bucks. On Thursday afternoon, Sea

1023
00:52:52,160 --> 00:52:54,120
Speaker 1: Yawk's coach Pete Carroll made it clear that his team

1024
00:52:54,200 --> 00:52:57,000
Speaker 1: is indeed taking a look at receiver Antonio Brown, whose

1025
00:52:57,040 --> 00:53:01,120
Speaker 1: suspension ends in ten days. Carrold In confirming the interest

1026
00:53:01,239 --> 00:53:04,920
Speaker 1: later in the night on his serious XM NFL radio appearance.

1027
00:53:05,280 --> 00:53:07,400
Speaker 1: That is your sports update from one Bill's Drive, Chris

1028
00:53:07,520 --> 00:53:09,920
Speaker 1: Brownsteed tasking with you our number two with a program

1029
00:53:10,239 --> 00:53:12,399
Speaker 1: and more of your phone calls at eight oh three

1030
00:53:12,520 --> 00:53:17,200
Speaker 1: oh five fifty and leading us off here as promised.

1031
00:53:17,440 --> 00:53:19,919
Speaker 1: I did not forget Barry in cheek towag are gonna

1032
00:53:19,960 --> 00:53:21,920
Speaker 1: lead us off here, Barry, Welcome to the show. What

1033
00:53:21,960 --> 00:53:24,520
Speaker 1: do you have for us? Hey? Guys, how you doing good? Man?

1034
00:53:25,120 --> 00:53:26,799
Speaker 1: I don't have a beef about the Bills at all.

1035
00:53:26,840 --> 00:53:29,200
Speaker 1: I think our coaches are fantastic and they're gonna straighten

1036
00:53:29,239 --> 00:53:31,920
Speaker 1: the guys out. They're gonna straighten everything out. I've got

1037
00:53:32,000 --> 00:53:34,439
Speaker 1: a problem. I think, Steve, you talked about this during

1038
00:53:34,520 --> 00:53:38,719
Speaker 1: the game about Kansas City with the slow dancing of

1039
00:53:38,800 --> 00:53:41,040
Speaker 1: our players and the pass interference stuff. I mean it

1040
00:53:41,239 --> 00:53:44,480
Speaker 1: was constant, constant, constant, And I think you said something

1041
00:53:44,520 --> 00:53:46,239
Speaker 1: about him the here, did you, Steve? Yeah, I did.

1042
00:53:46,320 --> 00:53:48,360
Speaker 1: I thought the Chiefs were their plan was to be

1043
00:53:48,600 --> 00:53:52,240
Speaker 1: very physical with our receivers and almost dare the officials

1044
00:53:52,280 --> 00:53:56,200
Speaker 1: to call PI or illegal contact or holding whatever? Was

1045
00:53:56,239 --> 00:54:00,960
Speaker 1: every single route? Yes, yes, I think they called three

1046
00:54:01,080 --> 00:54:04,560
Speaker 1: DPIs in total and one illegal contact. So you think

1047
00:54:04,560 --> 00:54:06,960
Speaker 1: about all the pass plays that the Bills ran. What

1048
00:54:07,160 --> 00:54:09,960
Speaker 1: was that twenty seven pass attempts for Josh, Probably a

1049
00:54:10,000 --> 00:54:12,239
Speaker 1: couple of no plays in there somewhere along with those

1050
00:54:12,280 --> 00:54:16,839
Speaker 1: four penalties that go as no plays and automatic first downs. Um,

1051
00:54:17,640 --> 00:54:20,239
Speaker 1: you know you're probably talking thirty two some odd pass plays.

1052
00:54:20,239 --> 00:54:22,719
Speaker 1: They only got called for a flag on four of them. Yeah,

1053
00:54:22,719 --> 00:54:25,560
Speaker 1: they care. So if you're the Chiefs, Barry, were adopted

1054
00:54:25,680 --> 00:54:27,680
Speaker 1: Patriot way, you like, Yeah, if you're the if you're

1055
00:54:27,719 --> 00:54:31,080
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, it's probably worth it. Right. If you're the Chiefs, though,

1056
00:54:31,120 --> 00:54:33,120
Speaker 1: it's probably worth it, Barry, because you've got such a

1057
00:54:33,200 --> 00:54:36,080
Speaker 1: high scoring offense. Take a few extra penalties, maybe they

1058
00:54:36,160 --> 00:54:37,719
Speaker 1: get a field goal out of a drive or something,

1059
00:54:37,800 --> 00:54:40,359
Speaker 1: or get some easy yards, but in the end they

1060
00:54:40,400 --> 00:54:43,120
Speaker 1: come out ahead. Because they got Patrick Mahomes in that offense. Right,

1061
00:54:43,440 --> 00:54:45,399
Speaker 1: it's worth getting the penalty more than a long pass

1062
00:54:45,440 --> 00:54:48,080
Speaker 1: for a touchdown whatever. Right, that's probably what he told them. Bright, Yeah,

1063
00:54:48,080 --> 00:54:50,080
Speaker 1: give them the first down in five yards rather than

1064
00:54:50,120 --> 00:54:55,800
Speaker 1: a forty five yard completion. That's sad, that's not no,

1065
00:54:56,160 --> 00:54:58,919
Speaker 1: it's it's called an end around, is what it is. Yeah,

1066
00:54:59,120 --> 00:55:01,839
Speaker 1: but it is. It's not an unusual tactic a lot

1067
00:55:01,840 --> 00:55:03,640
Speaker 1: of teams doing. He saw a couple of times where

1068
00:55:03,760 --> 00:55:07,960
Speaker 1: there were also plays against John Brown in specific, there

1069
00:55:08,000 --> 00:55:10,359
Speaker 1: were twice where he got illegal hands in the face

1070
00:55:10,440 --> 00:55:12,440
Speaker 1: because the guy jammed him, jacked him right in the

1071
00:55:12,480 --> 00:55:14,880
Speaker 1: face mask, right at the snap. They got called for

1072
00:55:15,000 --> 00:55:17,839
Speaker 1: two of those, and those are to me, those are

1073
00:55:17,880 --> 00:55:20,560
Speaker 1: blatant cheap shots. I don't I don't know how you know.

1074
00:55:20,760 --> 00:55:25,160
Speaker 1: That's not it's intentional. It's it's absolutely intentional. So, uh,

1075
00:55:25,400 --> 00:55:28,040
Speaker 1: they had a strategy that came down to being very

1076
00:55:28,120 --> 00:55:30,839
Speaker 1: physical with guys, but particularly I think what happens too,

1077
00:55:31,920 --> 00:55:33,680
Speaker 1: and I don't want to make it sound like it's

1078
00:55:33,719 --> 00:55:36,960
Speaker 1: a it's a barbaric league, but you're trying to win.

1079
00:55:37,880 --> 00:55:40,200
Speaker 1: John Brown's out there, he was hobbled a little bit,

1080
00:55:40,600 --> 00:55:42,759
Speaker 1: and he was cutting it out, he was gutting it out.

1081
00:55:43,200 --> 00:55:45,120
Speaker 1: You could see it on our broadcast from our booth

1082
00:55:45,280 --> 00:55:47,200
Speaker 1: and you could see and I know that the chiefs

1083
00:55:47,239 --> 00:55:50,360
Speaker 1: probably saw it as well. So what how do you

1084
00:55:50,440 --> 00:55:52,680
Speaker 1: take a guy out of it if he's not feeling

1085
00:55:52,719 --> 00:55:57,120
Speaker 1: one hundred percent? Smash him in the mouth and then

1086
00:55:57,160 --> 00:55:59,480
Speaker 1: he's gonna he's gonna like it's really hard to buck

1087
00:55:59,560 --> 00:56:02,480
Speaker 1: up and play hard when you're not feeling your best

1088
00:56:02,600 --> 00:56:05,680
Speaker 1: and you're getting beat up illegally. Now they got called

1089
00:56:05,719 --> 00:56:09,440
Speaker 1: for it twice, no question, but it does bother you

1090
00:56:09,520 --> 00:56:11,240
Speaker 1: the rest of the night because you're trying to hobble

1091
00:56:11,280 --> 00:56:14,640
Speaker 1: around and gut it out. Yeah, it's like kicking a

1092
00:56:14,680 --> 00:56:16,920
Speaker 1: guy when he's down. And that's a little bit of

1093
00:56:17,000 --> 00:56:19,640
Speaker 1: what the Chief's tactic was. And it was effective for them,

1094
00:56:19,719 --> 00:56:21,520
Speaker 1: don't don't get me wrong. And they're not the only

1095
00:56:21,600 --> 00:56:24,480
Speaker 1: ones who do that either. The Patriots will do it

1096
00:56:24,680 --> 00:56:29,440
Speaker 1: at the drop of a hat. It's part of Ravens

1097
00:56:29,520 --> 00:56:34,120
Speaker 1: are very good at it. Here's what there's some philosophies

1098
00:56:34,160 --> 00:56:36,399
Speaker 1: you can see. We've seen all these philosophies take place,

1099
00:56:36,400 --> 00:56:38,640
Speaker 1: and I'll give you a couple of examples. One example

1100
00:56:38,760 --> 00:56:41,520
Speaker 1: is this it's third and nineteen. Right, you get a

1101
00:56:41,600 --> 00:56:44,200
Speaker 1: team in a really third and long, and you've seen

1102
00:56:44,239 --> 00:56:46,239
Speaker 1: it a bunch with the Bill's defense and a lot

1103
00:56:46,280 --> 00:56:50,239
Speaker 1: of other defenses. They play this real soft off coverage.

1104
00:56:50,480 --> 00:56:52,800
Speaker 1: The quarterback drops back, got all kinds of time to

1105
00:56:52,880 --> 00:56:55,200
Speaker 1: throw it, and he has to throw like a ten

1106
00:56:55,280 --> 00:56:57,759
Speaker 1: yard completion. Then you come up and you tackle the

1107
00:56:57,840 --> 00:57:01,000
Speaker 1: guy and his third and nineteen and now it's fourth

1108
00:57:01,040 --> 00:57:05,560
Speaker 1: and five. They got they got fourteen yards, So you're going,

1109
00:57:05,640 --> 00:57:07,120
Speaker 1: what are you doing giving up all those yards? Well,

1110
00:57:07,120 --> 00:57:08,600
Speaker 1: they're just trying to get them to punt. They don't

1111
00:57:08,600 --> 00:57:11,719
Speaker 1: care about that. That's one tactic. Another tactic is this

1112
00:57:11,880 --> 00:57:17,120
Speaker 1: that is very prevalent for some teams. It's the money

1113
00:57:17,240 --> 00:57:19,680
Speaker 1: down of the entire game. It is a two point

1114
00:57:19,760 --> 00:57:24,640
Speaker 1: conversion for the win. Okay, that kind of play. You're

1115
00:57:24,720 --> 00:57:30,920
Speaker 1: telling your defensive backs, linebackers, defensive lineman, everybody, you play

1116
00:57:31,320 --> 00:57:34,440
Speaker 1: past the limit of the rules, and you force them

1117
00:57:34,520 --> 00:57:37,160
Speaker 1: to make a call because even if they make the call,

1118
00:57:37,520 --> 00:57:40,160
Speaker 1: they're not going to convert this two point and they

1119
00:57:40,280 --> 00:57:41,840
Speaker 1: have to do it again. It will do the same

1120
00:57:41,920 --> 00:57:45,400
Speaker 1: thing again, and we'll just keep doing it until they

1121
00:57:45,520 --> 00:57:48,000
Speaker 1: decide they're tired. Of calling a penalty. And that's a

1122
00:57:48,040 --> 00:57:51,520
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator in Steve Spagnolo, who has recognized that far

1123
00:57:51,720 --> 00:57:55,840
Speaker 1: fewer penalties have been called this season, mainly on offense

1124
00:57:55,920 --> 00:57:59,280
Speaker 1: with respect to holding, but it looks like fewer are

1125
00:57:59,320 --> 00:58:01,280
Speaker 1: being called on defense. You could have thrown a flag

1126
00:58:01,440 --> 00:58:04,960
Speaker 1: on just about every other play that the Chiefs ran

1127
00:58:05,080 --> 00:58:07,960
Speaker 1: on defense. I mean, they were being that physical, but

1128
00:58:08,560 --> 00:58:11,280
Speaker 1: the referees are not going to bog the day the

1129
00:58:11,400 --> 00:58:14,520
Speaker 1: game down with a hundred flags. It's just not feasible.

1130
00:58:14,560 --> 00:58:16,240
Speaker 1: It's not human game would have lasted four and a

1131
00:58:16,280 --> 00:58:19,120
Speaker 1: half hours. It's not human nature to just keep doing that,

1132
00:58:20,000 --> 00:58:22,120
Speaker 1: because then you got to get into an altercation with

1133
00:58:22,240 --> 00:58:24,320
Speaker 1: their head coach. He's saying, what are you doing? These

1134
00:58:24,360 --> 00:58:26,400
Speaker 1: are not you know whatever whatever. Even though it's a

1135
00:58:26,440 --> 00:58:28,200
Speaker 1: bogus Howard argument, the only way to nip that in

1136
00:58:28,240 --> 00:58:30,680
Speaker 1: the bud is if you eject somebody that's right, and

1137
00:58:30,800 --> 00:58:34,440
Speaker 1: that's got to be you know, egregious. I guess although

1138
00:58:34,640 --> 00:58:37,640
Speaker 1: some of what they were doing was ran pretty afoul

1139
00:58:37,720 --> 00:58:39,560
Speaker 1: of the rules of the game, right eight oh three

1140
00:58:39,800 --> 00:58:42,800
Speaker 1: five fifty eight five fifty two five fifty Anthony and

1141
00:58:42,880 --> 00:58:45,720
Speaker 1: Syracuse joins us next Anthony or on one Bills Live.

1142
00:58:45,760 --> 00:58:48,320
Speaker 1: What do you got for us? Guy? Hey, good morning

1143
00:58:48,760 --> 00:58:54,080
Speaker 1: or afternoon? All right, go ahead, So that's real quick.

1144
00:58:54,120 --> 00:58:55,800
Speaker 1: On the Jets game, I don't I don't think that

1145
00:58:55,960 --> 00:58:58,640
Speaker 1: means a who a being to us this year just

1146
00:58:58,720 --> 00:59:01,120
Speaker 1: because of the Jet situation. But I got a little

1147
00:59:01,120 --> 00:59:03,080
Speaker 1: bit more stock in the in the Patriots game. But

1148
00:59:03,160 --> 00:59:05,040
Speaker 1: even that means lection it has in the past with

1149
00:59:05,120 --> 00:59:07,920
Speaker 1: his departure, Hunt and Brady and everything. Even though they

1150
00:59:07,960 --> 00:59:12,320
Speaker 1: haven't beaten the Patriots under coach McDermott, it still wouldn't

1151
00:59:12,320 --> 00:59:14,200
Speaker 1: carry a lot of weight for you. Yeah, it's it's

1152
00:59:14,240 --> 00:59:16,080
Speaker 1: it's it's a nice banner to have that. You know,

1153
00:59:16,160 --> 00:59:19,200
Speaker 1: we finally took down about the check and in the Patriots,

1154
00:59:19,280 --> 00:59:21,080
Speaker 1: but it just, you know, last year it would have

1155
00:59:21,080 --> 00:59:26,000
Speaker 1: been nicer in my opinion, But I'm not but but

1156
00:59:26,240 --> 00:59:27,960
Speaker 1: but some of the things that I also wanted to

1157
00:59:28,040 --> 00:59:30,520
Speaker 1: touch on. Um the guy that talked about the miss

1158
00:59:30,560 --> 00:59:33,720
Speaker 1: tackling Um. Certainly, eleventh in the league is respectable. But

1159
00:59:34,320 --> 00:59:37,360
Speaker 1: my bigger pick, my bigger issue with the tackling uh

1160
00:59:37,680 --> 00:59:40,800
Speaker 1: perspective is I feel like our linebackers were just not

1161
00:59:40,920 --> 00:59:42,880
Speaker 1: in the position to miss the tackle in the first place.

1162
00:59:43,040 --> 00:59:45,480
Speaker 1: You know, they're not shedding blocks, they're not gap of

1163
00:59:45,560 --> 00:59:50,280
Speaker 1: timement isn't strong. Um, that's my issue. And if we can't,

1164
00:59:50,560 --> 00:59:53,400
Speaker 1: um go out and get a stud defensive lineman, it

1165
00:59:53,520 --> 00:59:56,440
Speaker 1: hurts dead. And Gocway went to Baltimore. Um. You know

1166
00:59:56,960 --> 00:59:59,480
Speaker 1: Ball went to the Chiefs. Every all of our competition

1167
00:59:59,560 --> 01:00:03,000
Speaker 1: this year is is picking up finalizing pieces. Um, and

1168
01:00:03,120 --> 01:00:05,200
Speaker 1: we're not pulling the trigger. And to your point, Steve

1169
01:00:05,280 --> 01:00:08,440
Speaker 1: about the contract and everything happened to be perfect. If

1170
01:00:08,480 --> 01:00:10,120
Speaker 1: we're going for it this year, then we're going to

1171
01:00:10,200 --> 01:00:12,320
Speaker 1: have to compromise on one of those, whether it's the price,

1172
01:00:12,400 --> 01:00:16,680
Speaker 1: the contract lane, yeah, the fit. Um. We got to

1173
01:00:16,720 --> 01:00:19,040
Speaker 1: do something soon, I think to put ourselves in a

1174
01:00:19,080 --> 01:00:21,520
Speaker 1: position to make a run. And we can't. My last

1175
01:00:21,560 --> 01:00:23,760
Speaker 1: point is is we can't do what we've done in

1176
01:00:23,800 --> 01:00:28,640
Speaker 1: the past under McDermott um and end the season strong week. Um.

1177
01:00:28,720 --> 01:00:30,520
Speaker 1: I think we lost four out of tide last year.

1178
01:00:30,720 --> 01:00:34,080
Speaker 1: And you know the teams that go deep in the playoffs,

1179
01:00:34,120 --> 01:00:36,040
Speaker 1: they're they're humming at the end of the season, and

1180
01:00:36,480 --> 01:00:39,240
Speaker 1: we've consistently I feel like tailed off at the end

1181
01:00:39,240 --> 01:00:41,760
Speaker 1: of the season. Um, and we got to change that.

1182
01:00:41,880 --> 01:00:44,040
Speaker 1: But I got competence in the in the coaching staff,

1183
01:00:44,080 --> 01:00:47,120
Speaker 1: in the front office. So hopefully this is our year. Yeah,

1184
01:00:47,160 --> 01:00:49,240
Speaker 1: it's a that's a good call, Anthy. I appreciate it,

1185
01:00:49,280 --> 01:00:50,880
Speaker 1: and you're right, And I think it's interesting you were

1186
01:00:50,880 --> 01:00:53,040
Speaker 1: talking about the linebackers not being in their gap down

1187
01:00:53,160 --> 01:00:55,760
Speaker 1: or not and not being in a position to miss

1188
01:00:55,800 --> 01:00:57,320
Speaker 1: the tackle, and then you said we should get a

1189
01:00:57,400 --> 01:00:59,920
Speaker 1: defensive lineman. You didn't say a lineman. That's where it's

1190
01:01:00,000 --> 01:01:02,160
Speaker 1: because I think there's there's a trickle down Effec absolutely,

1191
01:01:02,360 --> 01:01:04,480
Speaker 1: and I think he picked that up. Ndey Anthony got it,

1192
01:01:04,520 --> 01:01:07,280
Speaker 1: and I agree with you. I think what we said

1193
01:01:07,520 --> 01:01:12,240
Speaker 1: Starlo to Lalae and Jordan Phillips being gone hurt them

1194
01:01:12,880 --> 01:01:15,120
Speaker 1: and I but it was something that they didn't know

1195
01:01:15,280 --> 01:01:17,880
Speaker 1: was going to happen. They anticipated Jordan Phillips perhaps, but

1196
01:01:18,080 --> 01:01:21,760
Speaker 1: Starlo too lay kind of who knew um that new

1197
01:01:21,920 --> 01:01:24,040
Speaker 1: drop and that and this at the end of the game,

1198
01:01:24,080 --> 01:01:25,960
Speaker 1: at the end of the season slump. And I'll say

1199
01:01:26,000 --> 01:01:31,240
Speaker 1: this last year, Week seventeen, that Bill's team would have

1200
01:01:32,600 --> 01:01:35,520
Speaker 1: they could throw that jet team into a pillow case,

1201
01:01:35,640 --> 01:01:37,360
Speaker 1: hang it from the clothesline, and beat it with a

1202
01:01:37,440 --> 01:01:40,800
Speaker 1: ball bat. They were gonna crush that team if they

1203
01:01:40,880 --> 01:01:43,800
Speaker 1: played him in Week seventeen and instead they didn't need

1204
01:01:43,840 --> 01:01:46,439
Speaker 1: the game and they sat everybody and they coasted through

1205
01:01:46,520 --> 01:01:49,840
Speaker 1: it with a preseason roster and a preseason game plan.

1206
01:01:50,200 --> 01:01:54,400
Speaker 1: So I'll lose that. But you're right, they did lose

1207
01:01:54,960 --> 01:01:57,840
Speaker 1: too many games coming down the stretch last year and

1208
01:01:58,360 --> 01:02:00,640
Speaker 1: they need to fix that. I don't know that that's

1209
01:02:00,680 --> 01:02:05,480
Speaker 1: a trend, because you know, you look what they did

1210
01:02:05,560 --> 01:02:08,840
Speaker 1: in two seventeen when they made the playoffs, and remember

1211
01:02:08,880 --> 01:02:12,400
Speaker 1: the Tyler boyd Andy Dalton play they came. They can't

1212
01:02:12,400 --> 01:02:14,720
Speaker 1: finish that season a little bit stronger, I think. So

1213
01:02:16,160 --> 01:02:19,640
Speaker 1: it's a good point. I'll tell you this though, these

1214
01:02:19,760 --> 01:02:21,720
Speaker 1: next two games, so they win these next two games,

1215
01:02:21,840 --> 01:02:24,160
Speaker 1: they are going to win the division because they'll beat

1216
01:02:24,200 --> 01:02:28,160
Speaker 1: They'll have already won four games in the division. They're four.

1217
01:02:28,360 --> 01:02:30,960
Speaker 1: They'd be four, worst case, four and two in the division.

1218
01:02:31,800 --> 01:02:34,240
Speaker 1: And that will happen over the next two weeks if

1219
01:02:34,280 --> 01:02:36,520
Speaker 1: they can get to that point. Now, for those of

1220
01:02:36,600 --> 01:02:38,720
Speaker 1: you out there that are hoping for some kind of

1221
01:02:38,840 --> 01:02:42,520
Speaker 1: splash signing to reinforce the defensive front for the Bills,

1222
01:02:43,320 --> 01:02:46,800
Speaker 1: I wouldn't anticipate it happening. The only reason I say

1223
01:02:46,880 --> 01:02:52,240
Speaker 1: that is, yeah, you've got a cap space issue. You

1224
01:02:52,360 --> 01:02:54,600
Speaker 1: just release quinnin Spain and eight four and a half

1225
01:02:54,680 --> 01:02:57,960
Speaker 1: million in a cap this year with his full contract

1226
01:02:58,000 --> 01:03:02,400
Speaker 1: accelerating onto this year's cap and the bills. According to

1227
01:03:02,440 --> 01:03:05,160
Speaker 1: a couple of different stat you know, salary cap sites

1228
01:03:05,200 --> 01:03:08,240
Speaker 1: over the cap and spot track, they have somewhere between

1229
01:03:08,320 --> 01:03:10,800
Speaker 1: three point six and four million dollars in cap space

1230
01:03:11,200 --> 01:03:13,840
Speaker 1: with ten games to go. And we've heard Brandon Bean

1231
01:03:13,960 --> 01:03:16,880
Speaker 1: say he usually likes to leave between three and five

1232
01:03:16,960 --> 01:03:19,720
Speaker 1: million for roster emergencies. You know, you have a rash

1233
01:03:19,760 --> 01:03:22,480
Speaker 1: of injury somewhere and you have to sign somebody. That's

1234
01:03:22,480 --> 01:03:24,400
Speaker 1: what he likes to leave that little pool of money for,

1235
01:03:24,920 --> 01:03:27,120
Speaker 1: not some major signing that's going to gobble up the

1236
01:03:27,160 --> 01:03:29,360
Speaker 1: rest of that money. So I'll say this, it's my

1237
01:03:29,480 --> 01:03:35,320
Speaker 1: gut feeling this coaching staff likes their guys that they've got,

1238
01:03:36,920 --> 01:03:40,040
Speaker 1: and I know that sometimes it's coach speak, but Leslie

1239
01:03:40,120 --> 01:03:42,840
Speaker 1: Frazier said he believes the guys they've got can get

1240
01:03:42,880 --> 01:03:47,160
Speaker 1: it done and for whatever reason, they haven't yet that

1241
01:03:47,360 --> 01:03:49,680
Speaker 1: I think Leslie Frasier and Sean McDermot have faith in

1242
01:03:49,760 --> 01:03:51,800
Speaker 1: the roster. They have that they can go places with

1243
01:03:51,960 --> 01:03:54,400
Speaker 1: these guys in place that they have now. Certainly, better

1244
01:03:54,440 --> 01:03:57,680
Speaker 1: players make you better, absolutely, and they I mean they

1245
01:03:57,800 --> 01:04:03,880
Speaker 1: kick the tires on everybody that becomes free. But I

1246
01:04:04,040 --> 01:04:05,880
Speaker 1: think they've got a lot more faith in the guys

1247
01:04:05,920 --> 01:04:07,960
Speaker 1: they have on this roster now than maybe a lot

1248
01:04:08,000 --> 01:04:10,280
Speaker 1: of fans do, given particularly on the defensive side of

1249
01:04:10,320 --> 01:04:14,760
Speaker 1: the ball. Offensively, I think we've seen it. This team's

1250
01:04:14,800 --> 01:04:18,520
Speaker 1: got a big engine and they can rev and I

1251
01:04:18,560 --> 01:04:20,760
Speaker 1: think they'll continue to flex on people now. They didn't

1252
01:04:20,760 --> 01:04:24,120
Speaker 1: against Kansas City, they didn't against Tennessee, although if they

1253
01:04:24,160 --> 01:04:27,320
Speaker 1: didn't turn it over, it would have been a different game,

1254
01:04:27,400 --> 01:04:31,400
Speaker 1: I think. But I think they feel this coaching staff

1255
01:04:31,440 --> 01:04:33,320
Speaker 1: feels like if you look at if you look across

1256
01:04:33,360 --> 01:04:35,520
Speaker 1: the recent history of the National Football League, teams that

1257
01:04:35,560 --> 01:04:40,720
Speaker 1: are built substantially similar to this one can go deep

1258
01:04:40,920 --> 01:04:43,400
Speaker 1: in the playoffs and give themselves a chance. So I

1259
01:04:43,480 --> 01:04:46,280
Speaker 1: think they feel confident in the talent they have, not

1260
01:04:46,440 --> 01:04:48,320
Speaker 1: that they don't think, you know, not that they think

1261
01:04:48,400 --> 01:04:50,760
Speaker 1: this is a super Bowl or bus kind of roster.

1262
01:04:50,960 --> 01:04:53,840
Speaker 1: They're just thinking with the guys they've got, they can

1263
01:04:53,920 --> 01:04:55,760
Speaker 1: go deep and give themselves a chance to win the

1264
01:04:55,840 --> 01:05:00,280
Speaker 1: whole thing. But it's gonna take everybody playing at the

1265
01:05:00,400 --> 01:05:02,320
Speaker 1: top when they get into the playoffs and get deep

1266
01:05:02,360 --> 01:05:04,120
Speaker 1: into this year and get in against these good teams

1267
01:05:04,160 --> 01:05:07,200
Speaker 1: like Pittsburgh, like Seattle, all these teams that they've got

1268
01:05:07,240 --> 01:05:09,320
Speaker 1: on the schedule, they're going to have to play well.

1269
01:05:09,920 --> 01:05:11,480
Speaker 1: And we've seen what they did against two of the

1270
01:05:11,560 --> 01:05:13,400
Speaker 1: top teams in the conference in Tennessee and Kanas say,

1271
01:05:13,440 --> 01:05:15,840
Speaker 1: if you don't play well, you're not gonna win. But

1272
01:05:16,000 --> 01:05:18,000
Speaker 1: this team has shown that when it does play well,

1273
01:05:18,080 --> 01:05:19,720
Speaker 1: they are very difficult to be and I think that's

1274
01:05:19,760 --> 01:05:22,520
Speaker 1: where our coaching staff's mindset is. All Right, back to

1275
01:05:22,600 --> 01:05:24,880
Speaker 1: the phones and we go to Tiffany on a seale.

1276
01:05:24,920 --> 01:05:27,160
Speaker 1: Tiffany are on one Bills Live. Thanks for joining us,

1277
01:05:28,200 --> 01:05:32,000
Speaker 1: Thank you, How you guys are good. I was calling

1278
01:05:32,040 --> 01:05:36,240
Speaker 1: about us as fans, like I watched before the season starts.

1279
01:05:36,280 --> 01:05:38,800
Speaker 1: I go down the schedule and see like winning the losses.

1280
01:05:39,520 --> 01:05:42,880
Speaker 1: So my two the first two was Kansas City in

1281
01:05:43,880 --> 01:05:48,480
Speaker 1: Tennessee type. I knew we probably could beat Tennessee, but

1282
01:05:48,720 --> 01:05:52,600
Speaker 1: Kansas City super Bowl champions. I mean us, as you know,

1283
01:05:53,160 --> 01:05:56,080
Speaker 1: Bills fans, we want to think that we can just

1284
01:05:56,160 --> 01:05:59,120
Speaker 1: win every game out what we can't. And if you

1285
01:05:59,160 --> 01:06:01,320
Speaker 1: didn't look at that guy, wouldn't say, you know what, Tennessee,

1286
01:06:01,560 --> 01:06:05,160
Speaker 1: maybe Kansas City, come on, you know, although we are

1287
01:06:05,200 --> 01:06:07,440
Speaker 1: a good team and they went out and got you know,

1288
01:06:07,640 --> 01:06:10,840
Speaker 1: Stefan Dick, which was great. Did we think our defense

1289
01:06:11,000 --> 01:06:13,680
Speaker 1: was going to take a step back. No, but we

1290
01:06:13,800 --> 01:06:15,840
Speaker 1: still got the guys there. The only one that's not

1291
01:06:16,000 --> 01:06:19,160
Speaker 1: there is um you know start. I wasn't even counting

1292
01:06:19,240 --> 01:06:22,880
Speaker 1: the Phillips or or Lawson to be there next year.

1293
01:06:23,200 --> 01:06:26,680
Speaker 1: So they're still there. The foundation is still there. They

1294
01:06:26,800 --> 01:06:28,600
Speaker 1: just had, like Steve said, they just have to get

1295
01:06:28,680 --> 01:06:31,760
Speaker 1: in there and win like they just like they did

1296
01:06:31,880 --> 01:06:34,960
Speaker 1: last year. That's it. You know, I'm a fan. I

1297
01:06:35,080 --> 01:06:38,280
Speaker 1: think our team is going places. So I'm just excited,

1298
01:06:39,200 --> 01:06:44,240
Speaker 1: all right. We appreciate thank you. Yeah, And it's hard,

1299
01:06:44,560 --> 01:06:47,000
Speaker 1: you know, this season without the fans being in the

1300
01:06:47,080 --> 01:06:49,680
Speaker 1: stands to kind of jack up the players, especially on

1301
01:06:49,760 --> 01:06:51,520
Speaker 1: the defensive side of the ball. I mean, we talked

1302
01:06:51,560 --> 01:06:54,600
Speaker 1: about earlier this week, Steve, what that stadium would have

1303
01:06:54,600 --> 01:06:56,400
Speaker 1: been like in a one score game with six minutes

1304
01:06:56,480 --> 01:06:58,720
Speaker 1: left when the Bill's defense had to get a stop.

1305
01:06:58,800 --> 01:07:02,280
Speaker 1: I mean, right would have been rocking. And there is

1306
01:07:02,360 --> 01:07:06,440
Speaker 1: a trend that was mentioned on the league's NFL Media

1307
01:07:06,520 --> 01:07:10,240
Speaker 1: Research page. Talking about home field advantage, it says entering

1308
01:07:10,320 --> 01:07:14,440
Speaker 1: week seven, home teams have a five two two win

1309
01:07:14,600 --> 01:07:19,040
Speaker 1: percentage thus far this season, and that would be the

1310
01:07:19,200 --> 01:07:22,920
Speaker 1: third lowest home winning percentage in a season since nineteen

1311
01:07:23,040 --> 01:07:26,840
Speaker 1: seventy since the merger. So they were doing all the

1312
01:07:26,920 --> 01:07:29,600
Speaker 1: totals you know of the teams that are allowing some

1313
01:07:29,840 --> 01:07:32,480
Speaker 1: fans in the stadiums. So through weeks six there's been

1314
01:07:32,480 --> 01:07:34,680
Speaker 1: a total of three hundred and sixty nine five hundred

1315
01:07:34,720 --> 01:07:38,560
Speaker 1: twenty six people in attendance across all games, all stadiums.

1316
01:07:39,240 --> 01:07:44,800
Speaker 1: The twenty nineteen average attendants gave them a total of

1317
01:07:44,960 --> 01:07:48,640
Speaker 1: sixteen point three million fans for a full season, so

1318
01:07:49,400 --> 01:07:52,880
Speaker 1: it's going to be way down. Some people are of

1319
01:07:52,920 --> 01:07:55,160
Speaker 1: the opinion that it does make a difference for the players.

1320
01:07:55,520 --> 01:07:58,120
Speaker 1: The coaches have said as much. It's a different atmosphere.

1321
01:07:59,200 --> 01:08:04,240
Speaker 1: I should compromise your level of play, Absolutely not, But

1322
01:08:04,400 --> 01:08:06,360
Speaker 1: I think human nature is human nature, and in some

1323
01:08:06,520 --> 01:08:09,400
Speaker 1: cases it probably has it. Certainly I think has made

1324
01:08:09,440 --> 01:08:11,880
Speaker 1: it more difficult for a defense that might be on

1325
01:08:11,960 --> 01:08:14,320
Speaker 1: its heels to get their momentum back without their home

1326
01:08:14,360 --> 01:08:18,360
Speaker 1: crowd behind. Yeah, we'll never know. No, there's no way

1327
01:08:18,360 --> 01:08:20,840
Speaker 1: to really can feel it prove it. We can feel it,

1328
01:08:21,120 --> 01:08:23,519
Speaker 1: we can see it, we can point to it and

1329
01:08:23,600 --> 01:08:26,679
Speaker 1: say that looks you know, wrong or whatever, but there's

1330
01:08:26,680 --> 01:08:30,320
Speaker 1: no way of scientifically proving it. But the players, guys

1331
01:08:30,400 --> 01:08:32,479
Speaker 1: like me who used to play, guys who play now,

1332
01:08:32,640 --> 01:08:34,599
Speaker 1: guys who played before me, and the guys who are

1333
01:08:34,600 --> 01:08:36,280
Speaker 1: going to play in the future, will always tell you.

1334
01:08:36,360 --> 01:08:39,000
Speaker 1: The fans make a difference. And if the if the

1335
01:08:39,080 --> 01:08:41,720
Speaker 1: players feel it, that makes it real to me, you know,

1336
01:08:42,400 --> 01:08:44,559
Speaker 1: that makes it real. Let's go back to the phones.

1337
01:08:44,640 --> 01:08:47,240
Speaker 1: We go to Matt in Depew. Matt, you're on one

1338
01:08:47,280 --> 01:08:50,360
Speaker 1: Bill's Live. What do you have for us, sir? But um,

1339
01:08:50,680 --> 01:08:53,280
Speaker 1: I just want to add a statement and a question.

1340
01:08:53,439 --> 01:08:57,120
Speaker 1: I'd like to add the Tiffany's um point, where you know,

1341
01:08:57,400 --> 01:09:01,799
Speaker 1: our our defense has actually been playing like pretty decent, honestly,

1342
01:09:01,880 --> 01:09:05,200
Speaker 1: like for what we have. Um, if you look at Tennessee,

1343
01:09:05,320 --> 01:09:09,000
Speaker 1: the Tennessee game, we really only lost that game because

1344
01:09:09,040 --> 01:09:16,680
Speaker 1: of field position. And if you look at them twenty six, like,

1345
01:09:16,840 --> 01:09:20,160
Speaker 1: sure they ran the ball very good, but if we didn't,

1346
01:09:20,439 --> 01:09:24,040
Speaker 1: if maybe stopped the run like Patrick Mahomes would probably

1347
01:09:24,080 --> 01:09:26,880
Speaker 1: make us look like fools once he started throwing the ball. Yeah,

1348
01:09:27,040 --> 01:09:29,679
Speaker 1: if you look at Travis kel that Travis Kelsey play

1349
01:09:30,160 --> 01:09:31,800
Speaker 1: where you threw the ball in the end zone for

1350
01:09:32,160 --> 01:09:35,840
Speaker 1: right to him, there's some around. I just that's all

1351
01:09:35,840 --> 01:09:38,960
Speaker 1: I want to say for that, And then, um, I

1352
01:09:39,080 --> 01:09:42,400
Speaker 1: have a I was wondering what you guys think on

1353
01:09:42,680 --> 01:09:45,519
Speaker 1: signing is like, I know you guys talked about like

1354
01:09:45,560 --> 01:09:47,000
Speaker 1: the cats face and all that, but I just want

1355
01:09:47,040 --> 01:09:49,120
Speaker 1: to hear your pans and I'll hang up and listen.

1356
01:09:49,160 --> 01:09:50,880
Speaker 1: Thank you. Yeah, I don't know if Clay Matthews. I

1357
01:09:50,960 --> 01:09:54,840
Speaker 1: think he said Clay Matthews, Matt's sitting out. Yeah, I

1358
01:09:54,880 --> 01:09:56,759
Speaker 1: think Clay. I don't know if Clay Matthews is actually

1359
01:09:56,800 --> 01:09:58,400
Speaker 1: that interested in getting signed. So I don't know if

1360
01:09:58,400 --> 01:10:00,479
Speaker 1: you can coach him off the couch and coax him

1361
01:10:00,479 --> 01:10:02,599
Speaker 1: off the couch for whatever money you've got to pay

1362
01:10:02,720 --> 01:10:06,400
Speaker 1: him as Bills. Yeah, the guy can play. I mean,

1363
01:10:06,479 --> 01:10:08,840
Speaker 1: I know he's he's been around a while along in

1364
01:10:08,880 --> 01:10:14,360
Speaker 1: the tooth now, but he's certainly got a lot of experience.

1365
01:10:14,439 --> 01:10:16,040
Speaker 1: I don't know what he's got left, and I don't

1366
01:10:16,040 --> 01:10:18,160
Speaker 1: know that the Bills would have a spot for him,

1367
01:10:18,280 --> 01:10:19,880
Speaker 1: and he to me he would play kind of the

1368
01:10:19,960 --> 01:10:24,080
Speaker 1: same spot as Milano, you know, and maybe he would

1369
01:10:24,120 --> 01:10:28,400
Speaker 1: be that kind of guy. I don't know how long

1370
01:10:28,400 --> 01:10:29,960
Speaker 1: it would take get him acclimated. I don't know if

1371
01:10:30,000 --> 01:10:31,760
Speaker 1: he's in shape to play that kind of thing. But yeah,

1372
01:10:31,840 --> 01:10:33,519
Speaker 1: that's the kind of guy that you would look for

1373
01:10:33,800 --> 01:10:35,920
Speaker 1: to bolster a lineback and court, no question about it.

1374
01:10:35,920 --> 01:10:39,080
Speaker 1: If Clay Matthews was Matthews was fit and perfect and

1375
01:10:39,160 --> 01:10:43,360
Speaker 1: playing his a game, everybody wants that guy absolutely, all right.

1376
01:10:43,479 --> 01:10:47,639
Speaker 1: Speaking of Clay Matthews, we now go to Matthew in Rochester. Matthew,

1377
01:10:47,640 --> 01:10:49,040
Speaker 1: what do you have for us? Welcome to the show,

1378
01:10:50,680 --> 01:10:52,519
Speaker 1: Thank you for having me. And I just want to

1379
01:10:52,600 --> 01:10:56,560
Speaker 1: say that I think as a Bills fan, it's important

1380
01:10:56,640 --> 01:10:58,479
Speaker 1: that any win that we get, Like, I don't care

1381
01:10:58,520 --> 01:11:01,280
Speaker 1: if we dominate or if we win by a field goal,

1382
01:11:01,760 --> 01:11:03,880
Speaker 1: as long as we get to win. Five and two

1383
01:11:04,120 --> 01:11:07,240
Speaker 1: is much better than four and three. And when you

1384
01:11:07,400 --> 01:11:10,639
Speaker 1: stacking up wins against teams that you're better than, it's

1385
01:11:10,680 --> 01:11:13,480
Speaker 1: always good to do that to get yourself in preparation

1386
01:11:13,600 --> 01:11:17,200
Speaker 1: to play the premier team. But there's also like a

1387
01:11:17,320 --> 01:11:21,200
Speaker 1: separate set of expectations as Bill fans where we know

1388
01:11:21,360 --> 01:11:23,880
Speaker 1: that we're a good team. We know we've had a

1389
01:11:23,960 --> 01:11:26,719
Speaker 1: dominant defense, and that I think that most Bills fans

1390
01:11:26,800 --> 01:11:29,200
Speaker 1: believe ultimately that our defense will get in shape because

1391
01:11:29,200 --> 01:11:32,720
Speaker 1: of the coaching and the culture. But I also think

1392
01:11:32,800 --> 01:11:36,280
Speaker 1: that we won't be really satisfied as Bill flans until

1393
01:11:36,320 --> 01:11:39,240
Speaker 1: we beat a premier team. And we haven't done that,

1394
01:11:39,400 --> 01:11:43,519
Speaker 1: even in our ascension to being a good team. We haven't.

1395
01:11:43,680 --> 01:11:46,000
Speaker 1: Even from last year. All of the wins that we

1396
01:11:46,160 --> 01:11:48,400
Speaker 1: had were big for us as bill fans, like the

1397
01:11:48,680 --> 01:11:53,120
Speaker 1: like the thingsgiving game, but Dallas isn't the premier team

1398
01:11:53,400 --> 01:11:57,880
Speaker 1: we just thought they were. And the win against you know,

1399
01:11:58,160 --> 01:12:01,280
Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh to clinch the playoff, well, they didn't have

1400
01:12:01,400 --> 01:12:05,400
Speaker 1: their starting quarterback, so it's like also didn't have either, right,

1401
01:12:05,439 --> 01:12:08,080
Speaker 1: and they didn't have Juju either, right. So ultimately it's

1402
01:12:08,160 --> 01:12:10,160
Speaker 1: like we're a good team. We're beating the teams that

1403
01:12:10,200 --> 01:12:12,840
Speaker 1: we're better than, and that's what we want as Bills fans,

1404
01:12:12,920 --> 01:12:16,439
Speaker 1: to beat next a solid team. The only the only

1405
01:12:17,080 --> 01:12:19,560
Speaker 1: team that throw that I would throw in there to

1406
01:12:19,600 --> 01:12:21,600
Speaker 1: say hey, that's a quality win right now would be

1407
01:12:21,920 --> 01:12:26,479
Speaker 1: the La Rams earlier this season. Yeah, we have quality wins.

1408
01:12:26,960 --> 01:12:28,840
Speaker 1: I'm not taking away from our wins, because the winner

1409
01:12:28,840 --> 01:12:31,920
Speaker 1: is a win in the NFL. H taking away our wins.

1410
01:12:32,000 --> 01:12:34,400
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, as Bills fans, we want to beat

1411
01:12:34,479 --> 01:12:37,080
Speaker 1: that that Ravens team that we were fourth and ten

1412
01:12:37,240 --> 01:12:39,519
Speaker 1: at almost at the end zone. We want to beat

1413
01:12:39,600 --> 01:12:42,720
Speaker 1: that premier team that so we can really feel like

1414
01:12:42,880 --> 01:12:45,439
Speaker 1: we can beat these good teams, not just the teams

1415
01:12:45,479 --> 01:12:47,600
Speaker 1: that we know we're better than that. When we go

1416
01:12:47,680 --> 01:12:50,360
Speaker 1: in like this Jet game, rather we blow them out

1417
01:12:50,520 --> 01:12:52,760
Speaker 1: or it's a close game, it's five and two, we're

1418
01:12:52,800 --> 01:12:56,400
Speaker 1: onto New England, and then again that's another big game,

1419
01:12:56,720 --> 01:12:59,960
Speaker 1: more for us than it is because New England is

1420
01:13:00,479 --> 01:13:03,599
Speaker 1: real and two, so it's like they're coming down to Earth.

1421
01:13:03,760 --> 01:13:05,559
Speaker 1: So we beat them, It's like yeah, but they don't

1422
01:13:05,600 --> 01:13:08,160
Speaker 1: have Brady. It's like there's after us against our big

1423
01:13:08,240 --> 01:13:10,479
Speaker 1: wins for us, and I'll take the wins. I'm not

1424
01:13:10,600 --> 01:13:13,120
Speaker 1: knocking that because it's important that we brack up these wins,

1425
01:13:13,280 --> 01:13:16,360
Speaker 1: especially against teams were better than But as a Bills fan,

1426
01:13:16,479 --> 01:13:19,840
Speaker 1: we really want that. We want to beat Seattle, you know,

1427
01:13:20,000 --> 01:13:22,400
Speaker 1: we want to beat one of those really premier teams

1428
01:13:22,479 --> 01:13:25,599
Speaker 1: that will put the world on notice. That Yeah, we're

1429
01:13:25,800 --> 01:13:28,200
Speaker 1: we've arrived, you know, that feeling of we've arrived. Even

1430
01:13:28,240 --> 01:13:30,280
Speaker 1: if we lose a game later in the year, we

1431
01:13:30,400 --> 01:13:32,559
Speaker 1: know that we beat a good team, not just teams

1432
01:13:32,560 --> 01:13:34,360
Speaker 1: were better. Then. Yeah, I hear you. That's a good call.

1433
01:13:36,240 --> 01:13:39,200
Speaker 1: And you look he wants he and a lot of

1434
01:13:39,240 --> 01:13:42,559
Speaker 1: Bills fans want to know. Okay, this is all very exciting,

1435
01:13:42,840 --> 01:13:45,639
Speaker 1: This all looks very good. Show me, you guys are

1436
01:13:45,680 --> 01:13:48,360
Speaker 1: truly a next level team, right and to do that,

1437
01:13:48,560 --> 01:13:50,479
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to beat teams like it, like he said,

1438
01:13:50,600 --> 01:13:54,080
Speaker 1: like the Seahawks, like the Steelers with forty niners on

1439
01:13:54,160 --> 01:13:58,760
Speaker 1: the road on Monday, and like the Patriots at least once. Right, Um,

1440
01:13:59,080 --> 01:14:00,960
Speaker 1: those are the teams that you have left. And the

1441
01:14:01,000 --> 01:14:03,599
Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals they're a pretty good football team, but they're

1442
01:14:03,680 --> 01:14:05,400
Speaker 1: kind of like the Bills. They're still searching for a

1443
01:14:05,479 --> 01:14:08,479
Speaker 1: marquee win too. You know. They they lumped up the

1444
01:14:08,600 --> 01:14:11,800
Speaker 1: Cowboys on it on this season, which doesn't seem like

1445
01:14:11,840 --> 01:14:13,720
Speaker 1: it's that much of a quality win, much like the

1446
01:14:13,760 --> 01:14:17,839
Speaker 1: Bills Thanksgiving game last year. So I'm totally with you, Matthew,

1447
01:14:17,880 --> 01:14:20,759
Speaker 1: and and uh, the Bills are gonna get a chance

1448
01:14:20,800 --> 01:14:24,080
Speaker 1: to do that in the coming weeks. Uh, you know,

1449
01:14:24,160 --> 01:14:26,960
Speaker 1: they're beating teams like the La Rams and like the

1450
01:14:27,280 --> 01:14:31,479
Speaker 1: like the Vegas Raiders. Vegas is three and two, and

1451
01:14:31,600 --> 01:14:36,360
Speaker 1: they beat the Chiefs, and they beat um another quality team.

1452
01:14:36,400 --> 01:14:40,000
Speaker 1: They beat the Chiefs, and they beat the Patriots or somebody.

1453
01:14:40,000 --> 01:14:41,200
Speaker 1: I don't let me just see if I can find

1454
01:14:41,240 --> 01:14:43,479
Speaker 1: it here. Who are you talking about? The Raiders? So

1455
01:14:43,600 --> 01:14:47,360
Speaker 1: the Bills that they beat the Saint Saints. They beat

1456
01:14:47,360 --> 01:14:49,280
Speaker 1: the Saints and the Chiefs, So they beat two quality

1457
01:14:49,320 --> 01:14:51,360
Speaker 1: people in the and the Raiders did and then the

1458
01:14:51,400 --> 01:14:55,639
Speaker 1: Bills beat them. Uh. The Bills have struggled against probably

1459
01:14:55,680 --> 01:14:59,480
Speaker 1: the two best teams they've faced. And that's that's disconcerting.

1460
01:14:59,520 --> 01:15:02,040
Speaker 1: For a Bill fan. You'd like to see him. You'd

1461
01:15:02,040 --> 01:15:04,280
Speaker 1: almost like, when you're going to be next level? Right,

1462
01:15:04,439 --> 01:15:06,640
Speaker 1: show us when you're gonna be next level. And the

1463
01:15:06,680 --> 01:15:09,000
Speaker 1: biggest way to convince fans that you are next level

1464
01:15:09,160 --> 01:15:10,880
Speaker 1: is to have a big win like that. All Right,

1465
01:15:10,920 --> 01:15:12,639
Speaker 1: we have to take a break, but when we return,

1466
01:15:12,880 --> 01:15:16,440
Speaker 1: we're gonna play some of the players comments from yesterday

1467
01:15:16,960 --> 01:15:19,880
Speaker 1: as they address the media. Josh Allen on the level

1468
01:15:19,920 --> 01:15:23,639
Speaker 1: of confidence he has in this offense. Cole Beasley convinced

1469
01:15:23,720 --> 01:15:26,280
Speaker 1: that the offense will bounce back. Jordan Poyer on the

1470
01:15:26,360 --> 01:15:29,599
Speaker 1: defensive side of the ball, along with Tredevious White, Stefon Diggs,

1471
01:15:29,600 --> 01:15:31,719
Speaker 1: They're all coming your way. Next, you're on One Bill's

1472
01:15:31,760 --> 01:15:34,280
Speaker 1: Live presented by Kalid to Health. This is Buffalo Bill's Radio.

1473
01:15:46,439 --> 01:15:49,080
Speaker 1: Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you One Bill's Live. Second

1474
01:15:49,120 --> 01:15:51,320
Speaker 1: half of the show under way, and we wanted to

1475
01:15:51,400 --> 01:15:54,240
Speaker 1: get some of the player comments to you so you

1476
01:15:54,320 --> 01:15:56,559
Speaker 1: can see where the players heads are at heading into

1477
01:15:56,600 --> 01:15:59,000
Speaker 1: this game against the Jets and on the heels of

1478
01:15:59,120 --> 01:16:02,040
Speaker 1: back to back laws. And we begin on the offensive

1479
01:16:02,080 --> 01:16:07,280
Speaker 1: side of the ball, where Josh Allen re reiterated his

1480
01:16:07,640 --> 01:16:11,640
Speaker 1: level of confidence in this offense going forward despite its

1481
01:16:11,720 --> 01:16:15,840
Speaker 1: most recent shortcomings. You know the analogy of you using

1482
01:16:15,880 --> 01:16:19,200
Speaker 1: the basketball player shooter or shoot, We're gonna keep shooting. Um,

1483
01:16:19,320 --> 01:16:21,240
Speaker 1: We're not gonna let like I said the last couple

1484
01:16:21,240 --> 01:16:23,080
Speaker 1: of games, throws in the tank. We're gonna keep trying

1485
01:16:23,120 --> 01:16:25,040
Speaker 1: to do what we do. Um, you know, Coach Abe

1486
01:16:25,080 --> 01:16:26,760
Speaker 1: was gonna call a good game. We're gonna go out there,

1487
01:16:26,760 --> 01:16:29,200
Speaker 1: we're gonna execute how we're supposed to execute. And um,

1488
01:16:29,560 --> 01:16:31,360
Speaker 1: you know, once we once we get things rolling again

1489
01:16:31,400 --> 01:16:34,400
Speaker 1: on Sunday, know that obviously, and still some confidence, but

1490
01:16:34,439 --> 01:16:36,720
Speaker 1: we're we're a confident group, and um, we got a

1491
01:16:36,800 --> 01:16:38,599
Speaker 1: tough opponent this week and we know that and we're

1492
01:16:38,640 --> 01:16:40,920
Speaker 1: not gonna you know, going there and uh, you know,

1493
01:16:41,240 --> 01:16:43,599
Speaker 1: just we want to go in there and let loose,

1494
01:16:43,640 --> 01:16:45,320
Speaker 1: but we gotta we gotta make sure we're doing things

1495
01:16:45,360 --> 01:16:47,320
Speaker 1: the right way and throughout the week and practicing hard

1496
01:16:47,360 --> 01:16:49,320
Speaker 1: and um, you know, trying to go execute a game

1497
01:16:49,360 --> 01:16:51,519
Speaker 1: plan that you know Gable puts in front of us. Now,

1498
01:16:51,600 --> 01:16:54,160
Speaker 1: there was a follow up question to that, which basically

1499
01:16:54,240 --> 01:16:56,240
Speaker 1: asked him, Yeah, but what if the Jets come in

1500
01:16:56,360 --> 01:16:59,280
Speaker 1: and play a similar defense to that of the Chiefs,

1501
01:16:59,320 --> 01:17:01,200
Speaker 1: where they're just to keep everything in front of you

1502
01:17:01,320 --> 01:17:03,800
Speaker 1: and you can't let it loose, so to speak, and

1503
01:17:03,920 --> 01:17:07,360
Speaker 1: start firing, you know, forty yard passes downfield because they've

1504
01:17:07,400 --> 01:17:09,640
Speaker 1: got they're playing quarters coverage deep down the field or

1505
01:17:09,680 --> 01:17:12,519
Speaker 1: whatever it is cover too. And Josh had this to

1506
01:17:12,640 --> 01:17:17,080
Speaker 1: say in response to that, myself, I gotta do a

1507
01:17:17,120 --> 01:17:19,200
Speaker 1: better job of staying patient, taking what they give me

1508
01:17:19,280 --> 01:17:22,920
Speaker 1: really on forced them to come up and really try

1509
01:17:22,960 --> 01:17:24,479
Speaker 1: to take our outlets away, and then that's when we

1510
01:17:24,560 --> 01:17:26,760
Speaker 1: get our chunk plays. But you know, early on the game,

1511
01:17:26,880 --> 01:17:29,240
Speaker 1: just maybe just getting going, just throwing some underneath stuff,

1512
01:17:29,800 --> 01:17:32,600
Speaker 1: let our guys kind of get warm. And again, you know,

1513
01:17:32,720 --> 01:17:34,720
Speaker 1: if you start completing these underneath stuff, you know the

1514
01:17:34,800 --> 01:17:36,600
Speaker 1: defense is reaction. They're going to have to play up

1515
01:17:36,640 --> 01:17:39,120
Speaker 1: and defend that too. So we got to make them

1516
01:17:39,160 --> 01:17:40,960
Speaker 1: defend all all parts of the field. And you know,

1517
01:17:41,000 --> 01:17:42,360
Speaker 1: I haven't been doing a good enough job of that

1518
01:17:42,360 --> 01:17:44,760
Speaker 1: in the last couple of weeks. So really it's just

1519
01:17:44,920 --> 01:17:47,160
Speaker 1: it's staying patient and taking with the defense because us

1520
01:17:47,640 --> 01:17:50,400
Speaker 1: knowing how shorthanded this Jets defense is with all their

1521
01:17:50,439 --> 01:17:52,519
Speaker 1: player losses, Steve, you would kind of expect them to

1522
01:17:52,640 --> 01:17:57,240
Speaker 1: play nothing cheap, nothing deep, right. Oh yeah, they were

1523
01:17:57,360 --> 01:17:59,719
Speaker 1: killing people early on and the with the long pall

1524
01:18:00,240 --> 01:18:04,360
Speaker 1: so including the Jets. Yeah, and now the Jets that

1525
01:18:04,439 --> 01:18:07,400
Speaker 1: were undermanned, and I think Greg Williams was trying to

1526
01:18:07,600 --> 01:18:10,479
Speaker 1: compensate for guys for the deficiencies he knew he had.

1527
01:18:10,560 --> 01:18:12,599
Speaker 1: He was daring him to do it and to hit

1528
01:18:12,640 --> 01:18:14,360
Speaker 1: the deep ball, because they hadn't proven they could do

1529
01:18:14,400 --> 01:18:15,920
Speaker 1: it at that time. It was opening day of a

1530
01:18:16,000 --> 01:18:18,439
Speaker 1: new season. The Bills couldn't hit the deep ball to

1531
01:18:18,479 --> 01:18:21,000
Speaker 1: save their life a year ago, and they came out

1532
01:18:21,040 --> 01:18:22,880
Speaker 1: and dared him to try it, and the Bills got

1533
01:18:23,000 --> 01:18:26,800
Speaker 1: it done in a big way against him. So and

1534
01:18:27,000 --> 01:18:29,799
Speaker 1: now they've seen other teams have some success. Now. Granted,

1535
01:18:29,800 --> 01:18:31,280
Speaker 1: the Jets aren't going to be able to play as

1536
01:18:31,320 --> 01:18:33,439
Speaker 1: good a defense as the Chiefs are because they don't

1537
01:18:33,520 --> 01:18:35,599
Speaker 1: have the two guys up front of the four guys

1538
01:18:35,680 --> 01:18:37,600
Speaker 1: up front who can put pressure right away. But you

1539
01:18:37,680 --> 01:18:42,120
Speaker 1: have some guys and Greg Williams will continue to be

1540
01:18:42,400 --> 01:18:44,600
Speaker 1: who he is as a defensive coordinator. So they're going

1541
01:18:44,640 --> 01:18:46,719
Speaker 1: to have a plan for Josh Allen and the Bills,

1542
01:18:47,040 --> 01:18:49,400
Speaker 1: and they're going to try and get inside Josh's mind

1543
01:18:49,479 --> 01:18:51,800
Speaker 1: and get him to throw the ball where he's not

1544
01:18:51,880 --> 01:18:55,200
Speaker 1: supposed to basically, and we'll see if if Josh is

1545
01:18:55,360 --> 01:18:59,439
Speaker 1: up to the task. Cole Beasley kind of echoed some

1546
01:18:59,680 --> 01:19:05,200
Speaker 1: of Josh Allen's comments, He too, remains confident that this

1547
01:19:05,400 --> 01:19:09,000
Speaker 1: offense is going to bounce back this week. I mean,

1548
01:19:09,040 --> 01:19:10,800
Speaker 1: over the last two weeks, I feel really good about

1549
01:19:10,840 --> 01:19:13,160
Speaker 1: our team. And I think that's that's the majority of

1550
01:19:13,240 --> 01:19:16,560
Speaker 1: our team. You know they're thinking that way. Um, you know,

1551
01:19:16,640 --> 01:19:18,720
Speaker 1: it's it's the NFL. You're gonna lose sometimes, you know

1552
01:19:18,720 --> 01:19:21,360
Speaker 1: what I mean. And you know the outside, outside of

1553
01:19:21,400 --> 01:19:24,200
Speaker 1: the building, people love to react and do all that stuff,

1554
01:19:24,200 --> 01:19:26,200
Speaker 1: but it's not it's not like that in here. I mean,

1555
01:19:26,240 --> 01:19:28,960
Speaker 1: we know the reality of the business. Those guys are

1556
01:19:29,000 --> 01:19:31,400
Speaker 1: getting paid too. If you don't put your best foot

1557
01:19:31,400 --> 01:19:33,080
Speaker 1: forward every week, you can lose, you know what I mean,

1558
01:19:33,160 --> 01:19:35,280
Speaker 1: no matter who you play. Um So, so we're just

1559
01:19:35,360 --> 01:19:37,320
Speaker 1: focusing on that. We're focusing on us. We're not worried

1560
01:19:37,360 --> 01:19:39,680
Speaker 1: about who we play. As long as we execute how

1561
01:19:39,720 --> 01:19:42,960
Speaker 1: we know how, we'll beat anybody. He's right, I mean

1562
01:19:43,000 --> 01:19:44,960
Speaker 1: it starts with us. That That's what you hear from

1563
01:19:45,000 --> 01:19:47,200
Speaker 1: teams a lot of the time, especially when things aren't

1564
01:19:47,200 --> 01:19:49,720
Speaker 1: going exactly right. You got to fix things in your

1565
01:19:49,760 --> 01:19:53,120
Speaker 1: own house right before you can then focus on who

1566
01:19:53,160 --> 01:19:55,599
Speaker 1: you're playing. I've been in those rooms, and you're right.

1567
01:19:55,760 --> 01:19:57,559
Speaker 1: You look at that as an offensive team, you're looking

1568
01:19:57,600 --> 01:19:59,240
Speaker 1: at that film or you're going, man, oh man, we

1569
01:19:59,360 --> 01:20:01,960
Speaker 1: missed so many opportunities. This guy was open, and this

1570
01:20:02,040 --> 01:20:03,640
Speaker 1: guy was open, and Josh said, man, I could have

1571
01:20:03,720 --> 01:20:05,799
Speaker 1: hit it. If I'd have hit this throw, everything changes

1572
01:20:05,840 --> 01:20:08,439
Speaker 1: and you go all the way down the list all

1573
01:20:08,479 --> 01:20:11,519
Speaker 1: through four quarters of play after play after play of

1574
01:20:11,720 --> 01:20:15,599
Speaker 1: things you can clean up and get better. And I thought,

1575
01:20:15,760 --> 01:20:18,120
Speaker 1: I thought this was the case and this wasn't. I'll

1576
01:20:18,160 --> 01:20:19,720
Speaker 1: have that, you know, we'll get that down. That was

1577
01:20:19,760 --> 01:20:21,479
Speaker 1: a mistake here, but this was a good play that

1578
01:20:21,760 --> 01:20:26,839
Speaker 1: all this stuff there's there's a laundry list of plays

1579
01:20:26,960 --> 01:20:30,080
Speaker 1: that you feel you could have improved upon. And when

1580
01:20:30,120 --> 01:20:32,320
Speaker 1: you put that in your mind of if you'd have

1581
01:20:32,400 --> 01:20:34,439
Speaker 1: done this, and not all of them, but just a

1582
01:20:34,520 --> 01:20:36,599
Speaker 1: handful of them you didn't, the game would have been

1583
01:20:36,760 --> 01:20:39,599
Speaker 1: completely different. We would have run off with this game.

1584
01:20:40,360 --> 01:20:42,679
Speaker 1: You really get that feeling when you watch the film,

1585
01:20:42,800 --> 01:20:44,479
Speaker 1: knowing what you were supposed to do, how it went

1586
01:20:44,560 --> 01:20:46,920
Speaker 1: and what went wrong. And I know that's what Cole

1587
01:20:46,960 --> 01:20:50,200
Speaker 1: Beasley's communicating to the to the question or there He's listen,

1588
01:20:50,240 --> 01:20:52,400
Speaker 1: I know we can score points on these guys. I

1589
01:20:52,520 --> 01:20:54,400
Speaker 1: know we can win games. And our whole team feels

1590
01:20:54,439 --> 01:20:57,000
Speaker 1: the same way. Flipping it over to the defensive side

1591
01:20:57,000 --> 01:21:00,280
Speaker 1: of the ball. Jordan Poyer, coming off the practice field

1592
01:21:00,320 --> 01:21:04,519
Speaker 1: on Wednesday, felt very good about the practice that they

1593
01:21:04,600 --> 01:21:07,679
Speaker 1: had just completed, even though it wasn't even a full

1594
01:21:07,720 --> 01:21:11,720
Speaker 1: pads practice. That's going on today, but he is encouraged

1595
01:21:12,200 --> 01:21:15,880
Speaker 1: about the sense of urgency that the team was showing. Uh,

1596
01:21:16,080 --> 01:21:17,920
Speaker 1: not only on the defensive side of the ball, but

1597
01:21:18,040 --> 01:21:22,200
Speaker 1: in totality on the practice field wednesday. I never want

1598
01:21:22,200 --> 01:21:24,439
Speaker 1: to give up, you know, the rs we've been given up,

1599
01:21:24,520 --> 01:21:27,880
Speaker 1: the points have been given up. You know, Um, you

1600
01:21:27,960 --> 01:21:30,439
Speaker 1: know it's it's this is this is NFL football. You

1601
01:21:30,479 --> 01:21:33,160
Speaker 1: know this is uh. You you you go through ups

1602
01:21:33,200 --> 01:21:36,080
Speaker 1: and downs in the season, you try to figure things out. Um,

1603
01:21:36,439 --> 01:21:38,400
Speaker 1: you know, I've been in this league long enough to understanding.

1604
01:21:38,520 --> 01:21:40,800
Speaker 1: You know, there's there's a lot of football to be played,

1605
01:21:41,240 --> 01:21:43,600
Speaker 1: and and you know, the sense of urgency, you know

1606
01:21:43,840 --> 01:21:45,759
Speaker 1: I felt for this morning, just a sense of urgency

1607
01:21:45,840 --> 01:21:48,000
Speaker 1: within our team, within our group. You know, it's there

1608
01:21:48,040 --> 01:21:50,599
Speaker 1: to get back on tracking and get back to maybe

1609
01:21:50,640 --> 01:21:53,720
Speaker 1: you know, how to play football. So that that was

1610
01:21:53,840 --> 01:21:56,400
Speaker 1: very refreshing to hear. I mean, they they're on the

1611
01:21:56,439 --> 01:22:01,960
Speaker 1: ball right now, they are locked in. Um, they might

1612
01:22:02,000 --> 01:22:04,040
Speaker 1: wax the floor with this Jets team this week. I

1613
01:22:04,080 --> 01:22:06,360
Speaker 1: mean it could happen. Well, Jets are bad and the

1614
01:22:06,439 --> 01:22:08,920
Speaker 1: Bills are that focused. Yeah, and I've seen that happen

1615
01:22:08,960 --> 01:22:10,320
Speaker 1: as well. You say, well, why didn't they put that

1616
01:22:10,360 --> 01:22:13,080
Speaker 1: forth that effort last weekend. But there's there's an emotional

1617
01:22:13,720 --> 01:22:16,200
Speaker 1: I say it all the time. The emotional content means

1618
01:22:16,240 --> 01:22:17,840
Speaker 1: a lot, and you can go out and put it

1619
01:22:17,880 --> 01:22:20,400
Speaker 1: a little effort into it. But with some emotion and

1620
01:22:20,600 --> 01:22:25,120
Speaker 1: some added juice to you know, just an added fire

1621
01:22:25,240 --> 01:22:29,719
Speaker 1: under you, it becomes it's just like doing something because

1622
01:22:29,800 --> 01:22:31,080
Speaker 1: you know it's the right thing to do, and you're

1623
01:22:31,120 --> 01:22:32,920
Speaker 1: doing it and you're working hard at it, and then

1624
01:22:33,400 --> 01:22:35,320
Speaker 1: flip the coin and all of a sudden it becomes

1625
01:22:35,360 --> 01:22:37,800
Speaker 1: a lot of fun and you're energized by it. That's

1626
01:22:37,880 --> 01:22:41,000
Speaker 1: the difference. You're doing the exact same thing, but in fact,

1627
01:22:41,400 --> 01:22:44,960
Speaker 1: now it's fun. It's you get a little more joy

1628
01:22:45,080 --> 01:22:46,800
Speaker 1: from it. You get a little more exuberance from it

1629
01:22:46,880 --> 01:22:51,640
Speaker 1: because you see the tangible results good and bad for

1630
01:22:51,840 --> 01:22:54,320
Speaker 1: doing it the right way. And that's what these guys

1631
01:22:54,360 --> 01:22:55,800
Speaker 1: talk about. When there's a little out of juice and

1632
01:22:55,800 --> 01:22:58,840
Speaker 1: there's a little out of sense of urgency, it's that

1633
01:22:58,960 --> 01:23:03,120
Speaker 1: little extra thing where you know it's just a lot

1634
01:23:03,240 --> 01:23:07,439
Speaker 1: more fun when you get that sense that this is

1635
01:23:07,479 --> 01:23:10,800
Speaker 1: going to make a difference. And you get that when

1636
01:23:10,840 --> 01:23:12,760
Speaker 1: you watch yourself on film and it didn't go quite

1637
01:23:12,880 --> 01:23:14,880
Speaker 1: right and you know that there are a few things

1638
01:23:15,000 --> 01:23:18,040
Speaker 1: you can do tangibly to fix it. It really gives

1639
01:23:18,040 --> 01:23:22,920
Speaker 1: you a boost of enthusiasm. Tradevius White was asked about

1640
01:23:23,320 --> 01:23:29,280
Speaker 1: the defensive problems and whether this defense truly has an

1641
01:23:29,360 --> 01:23:33,040
Speaker 1: identity in light of the struggles that they've experienced, particularly

1642
01:23:33,080 --> 01:23:37,360
Speaker 1: in the past couple of weeks, but essentially through probably

1643
01:23:37,439 --> 01:23:40,280
Speaker 1: almost half of their games now. So here's his response

1644
01:23:40,360 --> 01:23:43,720
Speaker 1: to that. It's a year by year league. We know that,

1645
01:23:43,880 --> 01:23:45,439
Speaker 1: and we just got to kind of adjust on the

1646
01:23:45,520 --> 01:23:48,479
Speaker 1: line and try to find the ways to be the

1647
01:23:48,560 --> 01:23:51,040
Speaker 1: best version of ourself this year on this defense with

1648
01:23:51,120 --> 01:23:53,920
Speaker 1: the players that we have, and we just haven't found

1649
01:23:53,960 --> 01:23:55,880
Speaker 1: that nick yet. What's going to work for us? So

1650
01:23:56,360 --> 01:23:59,160
Speaker 1: is it going to be us holding teams to load

1651
01:23:59,720 --> 01:24:01,880
Speaker 1: load points, It's gonna be us holding them to lord

1652
01:24:02,040 --> 01:24:04,240
Speaker 1: lord yards, or it's gonna be us taking the ball away.

1653
01:24:04,240 --> 01:24:07,720
Speaker 1: We gotta find which defense is going to be us. Uh.

1654
01:24:07,960 --> 01:24:09,639
Speaker 1: If we take the ball away, I feel like that's

1655
01:24:09,640 --> 01:24:12,080
Speaker 1: the best. That's the best version we can we can get,

1656
01:24:12,280 --> 01:24:13,960
Speaker 1: even if we're giving up yards were we're taking the

1657
01:24:14,040 --> 01:24:17,519
Speaker 1: ball away, that's that's giving our offense more possessions. And

1658
01:24:17,640 --> 01:24:19,439
Speaker 1: with our offense that we have. Man, those guys are

1659
01:24:19,479 --> 01:24:21,800
Speaker 1: gonna light it up. So if we can find out

1660
01:24:22,080 --> 01:24:25,599
Speaker 1: our identity on defense, what defense we're gonna be, uh,

1661
01:24:25,920 --> 01:24:27,960
Speaker 1: we'll be fine. And I feel like, you know, uh,

1662
01:24:28,120 --> 01:24:30,519
Speaker 1: we continue to get better, we continue to try to

1663
01:24:30,920 --> 01:24:34,080
Speaker 1: um get the cohesion, and I feel like we'll we'll

1664
01:24:34,120 --> 01:24:35,960
Speaker 1: be fine if we continue to just believe in each

1665
01:24:35,960 --> 01:24:37,800
Speaker 1: other and continue to just come in and fight because

1666
01:24:37,800 --> 01:24:39,439
Speaker 1: it's it's a year by year league and it's a

1667
01:24:39,479 --> 01:24:41,880
Speaker 1: week by week league too, So I feel like, you know,

1668
01:24:41,920 --> 01:24:43,840
Speaker 1: we'll be fine. We hit shrive when we need to,

1669
01:24:43,960 --> 01:24:47,000
Speaker 1: and uh, I think we'll do it. Pretty interesting that

1670
01:24:47,520 --> 01:24:51,320
Speaker 1: he divided defensive identity into three parts. He said, we're

1671
01:24:51,360 --> 01:24:54,639
Speaker 1: either a defense that holds teams off the scoreboard, which

1672
01:24:54,720 --> 01:24:56,519
Speaker 1: is what they were to a large degree last year.

1673
01:24:58,120 --> 01:25:01,760
Speaker 1: We don't give up many yards force him to punt

1674
01:25:01,760 --> 01:25:05,400
Speaker 1: a lot, or we take the ball away a lot.

1675
01:25:06,439 --> 01:25:09,240
Speaker 1: And he believes they are going to be a takeaway defense.

1676
01:25:09,760 --> 01:25:13,479
Speaker 1: That's what he thinks their identity ultimately will be. Now

1677
01:25:13,600 --> 01:25:16,760
Speaker 1: right now, I want to say they're a plus two,

1678
01:25:18,560 --> 01:25:20,400
Speaker 1: but I might be wrong about that. I will check

1679
01:25:20,479 --> 01:25:23,280
Speaker 1: on that, and they're not among the league leaders right now.

1680
01:25:23,840 --> 01:25:29,439
Speaker 1: In takeaways. But I think the potential is there to

1681
01:25:29,640 --> 01:25:31,759
Speaker 1: do that because not giving up a lot of yards.

1682
01:25:32,160 --> 01:25:34,760
Speaker 1: I don't think it's going to be their identity this year, right,

1683
01:25:34,800 --> 01:25:39,679
Speaker 1: I mean, there's no way. So they are a minus

1684
01:25:39,760 --> 01:25:42,360
Speaker 1: two sorry minus two that which is amazing that they

1685
01:25:42,400 --> 01:25:45,000
Speaker 1: can be formed too with a minus two takeaway. They

1686
01:25:45,800 --> 01:25:50,120
Speaker 1: what he said is also true when you're you're trying

1687
01:25:50,160 --> 01:25:51,880
Speaker 1: to find It goes back to what they went through

1688
01:25:51,880 --> 01:25:54,240
Speaker 1: in the off season, and Sean mcdermot's montra was just

1689
01:25:54,320 --> 01:25:56,599
Speaker 1: find a way, find a way to get ready to play,

1690
01:25:56,680 --> 01:25:58,439
Speaker 1: find a way to get yourself Freddy, find a way

1691
01:25:58,479 --> 01:26:00,919
Speaker 1: to get better in the off season in an offseason

1692
01:26:00,960 --> 01:26:04,439
Speaker 1: that almost was non existent. Completely different. And Trey White

1693
01:26:04,840 --> 01:26:08,559
Speaker 1: his mindset is one that probably reflects everybody's. I'm going

1694
01:26:08,600 --> 01:26:12,800
Speaker 1: to find a way to make this work. Defensively, they're

1695
01:26:12,840 --> 01:26:15,320
Speaker 1: not gonna be a dominant defense. We've seen that. They

1696
01:26:15,400 --> 01:26:18,439
Speaker 1: just don't have it, and they're gonna have to do things.

1697
01:26:18,520 --> 01:26:20,519
Speaker 1: They're gonna have to find a way to help this

1698
01:26:20,760 --> 01:26:23,080
Speaker 1: team win on a week end, week out basis and

1699
01:26:23,240 --> 01:26:25,439
Speaker 1: in a consistent basis, And one of the fastest ways

1700
01:26:25,479 --> 01:26:26,960
Speaker 1: you can do that is taking the pall away and

1701
01:26:27,000 --> 01:26:29,639
Speaker 1: give an extra possessions to this offense, which to this point,

1702
01:26:29,960 --> 01:26:32,360
Speaker 1: despite the last two weeks, has been high flying and

1703
01:26:32,479 --> 01:26:36,439
Speaker 1: point producing. So just play complimentary football that way, you know,

1704
01:26:36,439 --> 01:26:38,280
Speaker 1: we here coach mcdermots say it all the time. That's

1705
01:26:38,320 --> 01:26:41,799
Speaker 1: the best way this defense could probably play complimentary football

1706
01:26:42,240 --> 01:26:44,120
Speaker 1: this season. All right, we have to take a break,

1707
01:26:44,160 --> 01:26:46,640
Speaker 1: but when we return more of your phone calls, and

1708
01:26:47,640 --> 01:26:50,960
Speaker 1: we also will have the tweet sheet. We haven't gotten

1709
01:26:50,960 --> 01:26:52,479
Speaker 1: to the tweet sheet yet. We're gonna have to get

1710
01:26:52,479 --> 01:26:54,960
Speaker 1: to that sooner rather than later. Here on One Bill's Live,

1711

1721
01:27:32,479 --> 01:27:35,080
Speaker 1: sale to lead us off. Joe, you're on one Bills Live.

1722
01:27:35,120 --> 01:27:37,680
Speaker 1: What do you have, sir, My good afternoon. I just

1723
01:27:37,800 --> 01:27:40,840
Speaker 1: wanted to say this season, I've been up Bill Sends

1724
01:27:40,880 --> 01:27:43,400
Speaker 1: for a long time. My mindset has changed. I have

1725
01:27:43,479 --> 01:27:48,040
Speaker 1: to admit from kind of us not getting beat, but

1726
01:27:48,280 --> 01:27:50,880
Speaker 1: we're losing the game. Like I have the feeling that

1727
01:27:51,000 --> 01:27:53,759
Speaker 1: the game is ours even when I'm watching those two losses,

1728
01:27:53,840 --> 01:27:56,800
Speaker 1: like just one more drive, one more whatever. This game

1729
01:27:56,920 --> 01:28:00,320
Speaker 1: is ours to win instead of us getting beat. So

1730
01:28:00,600 --> 01:28:03,760
Speaker 1: I just want to say it's refreshing changes and see

1731
01:28:03,800 --> 01:28:06,680
Speaker 1: what you think about that. Thanks, But yeah, I mean

1732
01:28:07,479 --> 01:28:10,040
Speaker 1: it is. It's a different mindset that you have to have.

1733
01:28:10,120 --> 01:28:12,439
Speaker 1: I don't think there's any question about it. The offense

1734
01:28:12,520 --> 01:28:14,519
Speaker 1: came out like a house on fire and you're like, whoa,

1735
01:28:15,080 --> 01:28:16,760
Speaker 1: So this is what we're going to be about this year,

1736
01:28:17,080 --> 01:28:20,880
Speaker 1: and it changes your perception. It changes your expectations, and

1737
01:28:21,000 --> 01:28:24,280
Speaker 1: it may even change how far you think this team

1738
01:28:24,320 --> 01:28:28,280
Speaker 1: can really go this year. And then the defense on

1739
01:28:28,400 --> 01:28:30,720
Speaker 1: the other side of the ledger changes your expectations too,

1740
01:28:30,760 --> 01:28:35,000
Speaker 1: because they're no longer this top five, lockdown past defense

1741
01:28:35,080 --> 01:28:37,080
Speaker 1: that you've seen the last two years. Yeah, you don't

1742
01:28:37,120 --> 01:28:39,880
Speaker 1: even really for now. You just want this offense to

1743
01:28:39,960 --> 01:28:41,840
Speaker 1: play to its potential and just want the defense just

1744
01:28:41,920 --> 01:28:43,400
Speaker 1: to give you something once in a while, you know,

1745
01:28:43,560 --> 01:28:47,080
Speaker 1: like and that was the thought I had last week

1746
01:28:47,400 --> 01:28:49,439
Speaker 1: or this last Monday, going into the Kansas City game.

1747
01:28:49,479 --> 01:28:51,519
Speaker 1: Mike thought the defense was all about, you know, just

1748
01:28:51,600 --> 01:28:54,240
Speaker 1: getting making a couple of plays, getting them off the

1749
01:28:54,280 --> 01:28:58,360
Speaker 1: field on a third down, forcing a fumble, knocking down

1750
01:28:58,400 --> 01:29:00,880
Speaker 1: a pass on through, just getting off the field, getting

1751
01:29:00,920 --> 01:29:03,360
Speaker 1: a turnover. That's what the defense is going to be

1752
01:29:03,400 --> 01:29:05,360
Speaker 1: about this year. And the more they can give you

1753
01:29:05,560 --> 01:29:07,960
Speaker 1: of that, the better it's gonna be for this team.

1754
01:29:08,000 --> 01:29:13,040
Speaker 1: Because if they can start stacking up free possessions, the

1755
01:29:13,080 --> 01:29:14,880
Speaker 1: team's gonna take the most make the most of them

1756
01:29:14,960 --> 01:29:16,960
Speaker 1: more often than not. Now, certainly they're you know, last

1757
01:29:17,000 --> 01:29:19,439
Speaker 1: week they struggle to score points, that only got seventeen

1758
01:29:19,479 --> 01:29:22,200
Speaker 1: points and that loss against the Chiefs. But and the

1759
01:29:22,280 --> 01:29:24,800
Speaker 1: same thing in Tennessee though, although it was the Bills

1760
01:29:24,800 --> 01:29:27,960
Speaker 1: who turned it over. Yeah, if they win the turnover battle,

1761
01:29:28,000 --> 01:29:29,800
Speaker 1: which they have not done to this point on a

1762
01:29:29,840 --> 01:29:32,439
Speaker 1: regular basis, they're minus two on the season, the Bills

1763
01:29:32,479 --> 01:29:35,080
Speaker 1: are gonna be really hard to beat. And Josh, as

1764
01:29:35,160 --> 01:29:38,200
Speaker 1: we every so often, he gets re taught that lesson

1765
01:29:38,240 --> 01:29:40,639
Speaker 1: of how important it is not to turn the football over,

1766
01:29:41,520 --> 01:29:45,560
Speaker 1: but this defense, the more it can do in the

1767
01:29:45,680 --> 01:29:48,439
Speaker 1: side of the turnovers for this offense, the better this

1768
01:29:48,520 --> 01:29:50,160
Speaker 1: whole season is gonna go. And I think that's the

1769
01:29:50,240 --> 01:29:52,680
Speaker 1: way this team's gonna have to play, Brownie. I think

1770
01:29:52,680 --> 01:29:55,960
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to be even or ahead on the

1771
01:29:56,000 --> 01:29:59,599
Speaker 1: turnover margin. Yeah, Bob in Pittsford, you are on one

1772
01:29:59,680 --> 01:30:01,679
Speaker 1: Bills Live. Thanks for joining us. What do you have, Bob?

1773
01:30:02,760 --> 01:30:06,800
Speaker 1: I just wanted to observe that two losses were to

1774
01:30:07,000 --> 01:30:10,120
Speaker 1: the teams that played each other in the AFC Championship

1775
01:30:10,240 --> 01:30:13,519
Speaker 1: game last year. Correct, and the only loss either team

1776
01:30:13,880 --> 01:30:16,120
Speaker 1: has had this year is when they've played each other.

1777
01:30:16,760 --> 01:30:19,120
Speaker 1: So you know, we've had our ups and downs. I've

1778
01:30:19,160 --> 01:30:22,000
Speaker 1: been there for many years as much as anybody, but

1779
01:30:22,160 --> 01:30:26,000
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be all down about this team just yet. Yeah,

1780
01:30:26,120 --> 01:30:27,880
Speaker 1: you're right. I mean, we know that they were two

1781
01:30:27,960 --> 01:30:29,640
Speaker 1: really good football teams and the Bills were going to

1782
01:30:29,720 --> 01:30:31,439
Speaker 1: play better. I think it's more about the way the

1783
01:30:31,479 --> 01:30:35,000
Speaker 1: Bills lost to Tennessee and the fact that they were

1784
01:30:35,720 --> 01:30:40,080
Speaker 1: behind the eight ball in their ability or in their

1785
01:30:40,439 --> 01:30:45,519
Speaker 1: probability of showing up sharp because of the lack of

1786
01:30:46,520 --> 01:30:48,160
Speaker 1: knowledge about who they were actually going to play and

1787
01:30:48,200 --> 01:30:49,799
Speaker 1: when it was going to happen, and what the finish

1788
01:30:49,840 --> 01:30:53,000
Speaker 1: line was to that week's preparation. The Tennessee game was

1789
01:30:53,040 --> 01:30:57,000
Speaker 1: a total trap for a team going in there expecting

1790
01:30:57,040 --> 01:30:58,760
Speaker 1: to play well. There's just no way I feel like

1791
01:30:58,840 --> 01:31:00,720
Speaker 1: the Bills could have done it. And it was the

1792
01:31:00,800 --> 01:31:04,439
Speaker 1: exact opposite for Tennessee. They had they were all about it,

1793
01:31:04,479 --> 01:31:06,519
Speaker 1: and they were in a perfect position to play well

1794
01:31:06,800 --> 01:31:09,360
Speaker 1: despite them and even in the face of not having

1795
01:31:09,400 --> 01:31:12,000
Speaker 1: practice for two weeks, their emotional state could not have

1796
01:31:12,080 --> 01:31:15,160
Speaker 1: been more perfect. And for the Chiefs, hey, they're a

1797
01:31:15,200 --> 01:31:18,479
Speaker 1: good football team, and the Bills had a game plan

1798
01:31:18,800 --> 01:31:21,200
Speaker 1: and their offense really just didn't play as well as

1799
01:31:21,240 --> 01:31:23,000
Speaker 1: they needed it to play. I thought that was a

1800
01:31:23,080 --> 01:31:25,760
Speaker 1: game where your offense needed to show up and they

1801
01:31:25,880 --> 01:31:29,679
Speaker 1: didn't for whatever reason. And the Chief's the only loss

1802
01:31:29,800 --> 01:31:31,519
Speaker 1: right now is to the Raiders this season, and the

1803
01:31:31,600 --> 01:31:34,640
Speaker 1: Titans still haven't lost now. I think a lot of

1804
01:31:34,680 --> 01:31:36,599
Speaker 1: people are hoping that the Steelers can knock them off

1805
01:31:36,640 --> 01:31:39,439
Speaker 1: this weekend. This is the makeup game from the original

1806
01:31:39,479 --> 01:31:41,560
Speaker 1: Week four game that had to be postponed when the

1807
01:31:41,600 --> 01:31:45,360
Speaker 1: Titans outbreak happened. Those two teams will square off this weekend,

1808
01:31:45,920 --> 01:31:49,439
Speaker 1: so yeah, it'll be interesting to see if the Titans

1809
01:31:49,479 --> 01:31:53,000
Speaker 1: can remain unbeaten. One of the few unbeaten teams left,

1810
01:31:53,600 --> 01:31:58,200
Speaker 1: but two pretty darn good football clubs, so not really

1811
01:31:58,280 --> 01:32:03,519
Speaker 1: surprising to see that. We go to Jim in Hamburg,

1812
01:32:03,720 --> 01:32:06,000
Speaker 1: Jim joining us on one bills Live. What do you have, sir?

1813
01:32:07,320 --> 01:32:11,600
Speaker 1: Just can you guys be specific on why the defensive

1814
01:32:11,680 --> 01:32:15,200
Speaker 1: line is failing like it is? There? Is it? I

1815
01:32:15,360 --> 01:32:19,160
Speaker 1: know there's we don't have tremendous personnel there, but is

1816
01:32:19,160 --> 01:32:22,479
Speaker 1: it anybody's fault specifically? I mean last year people were

1817
01:32:22,560 --> 01:32:25,040
Speaker 1: pointing to Jordan Phillips and Acuccier that they were out

1818
01:32:25,080 --> 01:32:29,680
Speaker 1: of place? What specifically? When you watch the game on television,

1819
01:32:29,800 --> 01:32:32,320
Speaker 1: we just see our defensive lineman falling back three or

1820
01:32:32,400 --> 01:32:36,479
Speaker 1: four yards against the offensive line. Can you guys tell

1821
01:32:36,560 --> 01:32:39,439
Speaker 1: us what is what technically is happening wrong with them?

1822
01:32:39,520 --> 01:32:41,880
Speaker 1: They're not getting off blocks, Jim. That's why you're seeing

1823
01:32:41,920 --> 01:32:43,920
Speaker 1: them going in reverse three and four yards. They can't

1824
01:32:43,960 --> 01:32:46,479
Speaker 1: get off blocks to get in their assigned gabs and

1825
01:32:46,600 --> 01:32:50,160
Speaker 1: make a play. Yeah, that's the that's the base answer

1826
01:32:50,280 --> 01:32:52,479
Speaker 1: for it. I'm sure there are other components to it.

1827
01:32:52,600 --> 01:32:55,920
Speaker 1: But that's the main crux of the problem here. So

1828
01:32:56,120 --> 01:32:58,200
Speaker 1: it's not just one, it's the whole unit that it

1829
01:32:58,439 --> 01:33:01,240
Speaker 1: basically is underplaying at the line of scrimm. I don't

1830
01:33:01,280 --> 01:33:03,559
Speaker 1: think they're all getting beat every play, oh not all

1831
01:33:03,600 --> 01:33:05,640
Speaker 1: the time, but they need they need more of them

1832
01:33:05,720 --> 01:33:09,200
Speaker 1: to win together on most more plays, is what I think.

1833
01:33:09,280 --> 01:33:12,640
Speaker 1: And I'm no defensive line expert at all, but I

1834
01:33:12,800 --> 01:33:15,920
Speaker 1: see what you see. You see guys getting covered up

1835
01:33:16,040 --> 01:33:19,880
Speaker 1: and blocked, and that you need that to stop guys

1836
01:33:21,120 --> 01:33:24,759
Speaker 1: for defensive tackles, particularly in the run game. First and foremost,

1837
01:33:24,840 --> 01:33:26,840
Speaker 1: you want to get. You want to hold your ground

1838
01:33:28,080 --> 01:33:31,080
Speaker 1: and get and use up as many offensive linemen to

1839
01:33:31,160 --> 01:33:33,599
Speaker 1: hold your ground as you have to. Usually you try

1840
01:33:33,640 --> 01:33:35,360
Speaker 1: and want to try and use up two guys to

1841
01:33:35,439 --> 01:33:37,720
Speaker 1: block one, which means one of them is not going

1842
01:33:37,800 --> 01:33:39,439
Speaker 1: to be able to get to Tremaine Edmonds or Matt

1843
01:33:39,479 --> 01:33:42,439
Speaker 1: Milano or AJ Clin and AJ Clin Matt Milano or

1844
01:33:42,479 --> 01:33:44,120
Speaker 1: Tremaine Edmond's going to step into the hole make a

1845
01:33:44,200 --> 01:33:47,280
Speaker 1: tackle because the two offensive linemen are too busy blocking

1846
01:33:47,360 --> 01:33:50,240
Speaker 1: one guy that the other defender is right there to

1847
01:33:50,280 --> 01:33:52,519
Speaker 1: make the tackle. That it has not worked that way

1848
01:33:52,800 --> 01:33:55,080
Speaker 1: thus far this year. And the trickle down effect from

1849
01:33:55,160 --> 01:33:58,200
Speaker 1: that is if you are getting backed off the line

1850
01:33:58,240 --> 01:34:00,519
Speaker 1: and losing the battle at the line of scrim and

1851
01:34:00,640 --> 01:34:02,720
Speaker 1: you can't get off that block, and then the guy

1852
01:34:02,840 --> 01:34:05,120
Speaker 1: next to you is getting ridden off the line of

1853
01:34:05,160 --> 01:34:07,600
Speaker 1: scrimmage and he can't get off that block. Now the

1854
01:34:07,680 --> 01:34:11,160
Speaker 1: gap that that linebacker has to fill is wider. It's

1855
01:34:11,760 --> 01:34:14,439
Speaker 1: it's wider than the man that's got to fill the gap,

1856
01:34:14,560 --> 01:34:17,240
Speaker 1: which now gives the ball carrier more room in which

1857
01:34:17,320 --> 01:34:21,200
Speaker 1: to operate and elude the would be tackler. So that's

1858
01:34:21,240 --> 01:34:23,479
Speaker 1: why the battle at the line of scrimmage is so important,

1859
01:34:23,520 --> 01:34:27,479
Speaker 1: because if you lose there, the trickle down effect is enormous.

1860
01:34:27,640 --> 01:34:30,080
Speaker 1: It's like a boulder rolling downhill and it gets to

1861
01:34:30,120 --> 01:34:32,320
Speaker 1: a point where you just don't have enough people to

1862
01:34:32,360 --> 01:34:35,080
Speaker 1: stop it. And that's the problem. So hopefully that explains

1863
01:34:35,120 --> 01:34:37,000
Speaker 1: it for you. That's the way we see it. Yeah,

1864
01:34:37,400 --> 01:34:40,080
Speaker 1: and again Chief said, neither of us are deficients a

1865
01:34:40,080 --> 01:34:44,040
Speaker 1: little better than we do, and their actions speak louder

1866
01:34:44,080 --> 01:34:45,760
Speaker 1: than words. I think the tinkering they've done with their

1867
01:34:45,800 --> 01:34:48,160
Speaker 1: defensive rotation and the guys they've benched and brought up

1868
01:34:48,240 --> 01:34:50,559
Speaker 1: last week and how that will change and be different

1869
01:34:50,600 --> 01:34:52,640
Speaker 1: this week than it was last week. We'll tell you

1870
01:34:52,680 --> 01:34:54,439
Speaker 1: a lot about what they're trying to do to fix it,

1871
01:34:55,080 --> 01:34:57,439
Speaker 1: all right, eight O three five fifty to get on board,

1872
01:34:57,600 --> 01:35:01,040
Speaker 1: Jerry and Lavonia and Percy and Buffalo hang tight. We'll

1873
01:35:01,080 --> 01:35:03,000
Speaker 1: get to you when we come back from the sports

1874
01:35:03,120 --> 01:35:06,160
Speaker 1: update break here on One Bill's Live, presented by Kalida Health.

1875
01:35:06,360 --> 01:35:22,400
Speaker 1: This is Buffalo Bill's Radiofalo Bill's Radio Network. Sports Update.

1876
01:35:22,640 --> 01:35:26,000
Speaker 1: Your sports update from One Bill's Drive. Practice wrapping up

1877
01:35:26,120 --> 01:35:30,200
Speaker 1: in the Bills Fieldhouse today and let me pull this

1878
01:35:30,360 --> 01:35:32,799
Speaker 1: up because I wanted to get the updated injury report.

1879
01:35:33,439 --> 01:35:37,360
Speaker 1: Not practicing today, Dawson Knox, Tyrrell Dodson, John Brown and

1880
01:35:37,560 --> 01:35:41,160
Speaker 1: Cody Ford, Cam Lewis and Matt Malana were again limited today.

1881
01:35:41,280 --> 01:35:45,320
Speaker 1: John Feliciano took reps in individual drills but still remains

1882
01:35:45,920 --> 01:35:51,000
Speaker 1: on injured reserve. As for the Bill's opponent this week,

1883
01:35:51,640 --> 01:35:54,840
Speaker 1: they're continuing to make roster moves. The forty nine Ers

1884
01:35:54,880 --> 01:35:58,160
Speaker 1: acquired Jets outside linebacker Jordan Willis in a trade with

1885
01:35:58,240 --> 01:36:00,080
Speaker 1: New York. The Jets will get a twenty twenty to

1886
01:36:00,200 --> 01:36:02,719
Speaker 1: sixth round pick in exchange for Willis, who's an edge rusher,

1887
01:36:03,200 --> 01:36:06,880
Speaker 1: also sending out a twenty twenty one seventh rounder to

1888
01:36:07,360 --> 01:36:09,960
Speaker 1: the Niners. Just before the start of the season, the

1889
01:36:10,040 --> 01:36:13,000
Speaker 1: Vikings thought they might be one big time pass rusher

1890
01:36:13,080 --> 01:36:16,479
Speaker 1: away from Super Bowl contention, so they made the trade

1891
01:36:16,520 --> 01:36:20,720
Speaker 1: for Yannikin Gackway with the Jaguars. Six games later, Agackway

1892
01:36:20,840 --> 01:36:23,880
Speaker 1: is on the move again, traded to the Vikings or

1893
01:36:23,960 --> 01:36:26,120
Speaker 1: traded to the Ravens by the Vikings. The Ravens are

1894
01:36:26,120 --> 01:36:28,320
Speaker 1: sending a twenty twenty one third round pick and a

1895
01:36:28,400 --> 01:36:30,960
Speaker 1: conditional twenty twenty two fifth round pick to the Vikings.

1896
01:36:31,360 --> 01:36:34,320
Speaker 1: Four in Gackway to night in the NFL thurs and

1897
01:36:34,400 --> 01:36:37,840
Speaker 1: Night Football, two one win teams are featured, but believe

1898
01:36:37,880 --> 01:36:41,719
Speaker 1: it or not, despite those records, the Eagles and Giants

1899
01:36:41,800 --> 01:36:45,080
Speaker 1: are in the thick of an NFC East Divisional race,

1900
01:36:45,360 --> 01:36:48,240
Speaker 1: which currently has the two and five Cowboys at the

1901
01:36:48,320 --> 01:36:51,560
Speaker 1: front of the pack. Kickoff set for eight twenty in Philadelphia,

1902
01:36:52,280 --> 01:36:54,479
Speaker 1: The Raiders put right tackle Trent Brown on the reserve

1903
01:36:54,560 --> 01:36:57,960
Speaker 1: COVID nineteen list Wednesday, then had to send all five

1904
01:36:58,080 --> 01:37:01,639
Speaker 1: of their starting offensive lineman home because they were around Brown.

1905
01:37:02,040 --> 01:37:05,599
Speaker 1: Head coach John Gruden is optimistic about their offensive lineman

1906
01:37:05,680 --> 01:37:08,200
Speaker 1: testing negative and the Raiders being able to field a

1907
01:37:08,240 --> 01:37:11,800
Speaker 1: team on Sunday night against the Bucks, and Brandon Low

1908
01:37:11,840 --> 01:37:14,200
Speaker 1: became the first player to hit two opposite field home

1909
01:37:14,280 --> 01:37:16,639
Speaker 1: runs in a World Series game, and the Raised bullpen

1910
01:37:16,720 --> 01:37:18,320
Speaker 1: bent but didn't break as they held on for a

1911
01:37:18,400 --> 01:37:20,639
Speaker 1: six or four game two victory to even that series

1912
01:37:20,680 --> 01:37:24,679
Speaker 1: with the Dodgers at a game apiece, our number two

1913
01:37:25,640 --> 01:37:28,720
Speaker 1: or our number three of One Bill's life, it's just

1914
01:37:29,040 --> 01:37:32,200
Speaker 1: I can count. It's okay. Flying by Steve Tasker, Chris

1915
01:37:32,280 --> 01:37:34,519
Speaker 1: Brown with you, and we are taking your phone calls

1916
01:37:34,520 --> 01:37:36,680
Speaker 1: at eight oh three oh five fifty. We also are

1917
01:37:36,720 --> 01:37:38,120
Speaker 1: going to get to the tweet sheet here at some

1918
01:37:38,240 --> 01:37:40,400
Speaker 1: point in time, but we do have people on hold,

1919
01:37:40,479 --> 01:37:42,080
Speaker 1: so we do want to get to them as we

1920
01:37:42,200 --> 01:37:44,799
Speaker 1: are asking you if a convincing win by the Bills

1921
01:37:44,840 --> 01:37:48,640
Speaker 1: over the Jets happens on Sunday, will restore your confidence

1922
01:37:48,960 --> 01:37:51,360
Speaker 1: in this twenty twenty Bills squad, Yes or no, or

1923
01:37:51,400 --> 01:37:54,880
Speaker 1: your choices on Twitter at one Bills Live, or you

1924
01:37:54,920 --> 01:37:57,040
Speaker 1: can let us know how you feel here at eight

1925
01:37:57,120 --> 01:37:59,720
Speaker 1: oh three oh five fifty, and we lead off here

1926
01:37:59,720 --> 01:38:02,360
Speaker 1: in number three with Percy in Buffalo Percy, you're on

1927
01:38:02,400 --> 01:38:04,840
Speaker 1: one bills live. What do you have for us? Hey,

1928
01:38:05,000 --> 01:38:06,639
Speaker 1: I just wanted to say, I just want to tell

1929
01:38:06,680 --> 01:38:10,559
Speaker 1: people a guest, you relax, man, you know, to understand

1930
01:38:10,680 --> 01:38:13,280
Speaker 1: that the first thing we have to do is take

1931
01:38:13,320 --> 01:38:16,200
Speaker 1: care of our division. Okay, once we won our division,

1932
01:38:16,240 --> 01:38:18,800
Speaker 1: if we win these next two games, our division is

1933
01:38:18,840 --> 01:38:22,280
Speaker 1: pretty much mocked. So I don't know why people are stressing.

1934
01:38:22,400 --> 01:38:25,760
Speaker 1: The most important thing is get to the playoffs and

1935
01:38:25,880 --> 01:38:28,880
Speaker 1: then anything can happen. You know. I just think that,

1936
01:38:29,920 --> 01:38:32,080
Speaker 1: you know, people are just overreacting. I mean, when the

1937
01:38:32,120 --> 01:38:35,280
Speaker 1: sketule came out, you know, probably everybody said, hey, the

1938
01:38:35,360 --> 01:38:38,200
Speaker 1: Casey loss, the Casey game was going to be a loss.

1939
01:38:38,800 --> 01:38:40,760
Speaker 1: You know. My thing is I had the Bills at

1940
01:38:40,800 --> 01:38:44,160
Speaker 1: five and one, you know, but under under the circumstances

1941
01:38:44,240 --> 01:38:47,960
Speaker 1: lead with the pandemic and everything with the Tennessee game. Yeah, okay,

1942
01:38:48,120 --> 01:38:50,800
Speaker 1: I'll bite the boat on that wood. But we're good.

1943
01:38:51,280 --> 01:38:53,960
Speaker 1: I don't know why people stressing We're fine. That's all

1944
01:38:53,960 --> 01:38:58,400
Speaker 1: I wanted to say. Yeah, Percy, thanks, fine, is good? Yeah,

1945
01:38:58,960 --> 01:39:02,800
Speaker 1: I get it. If they win this game, if they

1946
01:39:02,880 --> 01:39:05,200
Speaker 1: win the next game against the New England Patriots, which

1947
01:39:05,280 --> 01:39:09,640
Speaker 1: is no GIMMEI at all. You're right, they're four and

1948
01:39:09,720 --> 01:39:13,240
Speaker 1: no in the division and they got a lock on it,

1949
01:39:13,960 --> 01:39:16,800
Speaker 1: but they got a long way to go. They got

1950
01:39:16,840 --> 01:39:20,960
Speaker 1: some really good football teams to play, and I'm I'm

1951
01:39:21,040 --> 01:39:23,160
Speaker 1: not one to sit here and just mark time until

1952
01:39:23,200 --> 01:39:27,200
Speaker 1: the playoffs, until the playoffs are in hand, and quite frankly,

1953
01:39:28,680 --> 01:39:30,439
Speaker 1: I don't want to see this team take its foot

1954
01:39:30,439 --> 01:39:32,559
Speaker 1: off the gas the way it did like last week

1955
01:39:32,600 --> 01:39:34,679
Speaker 1: and the weeks said last year in Week seventeen, where

1956
01:39:34,680 --> 01:39:36,720
Speaker 1: they don't have to win these games or whatever, there's

1957
01:39:36,720 --> 01:39:39,040
Speaker 1: gonna because there's only one bye week, So what do

1958
01:39:39,120 --> 01:39:41,840
Speaker 1: you you know, what's gonna be the incentive for a

1959
01:39:41,960 --> 01:39:44,559
Speaker 1: team who's like, say, you got a team like Kansas

1960
01:39:44,640 --> 01:39:50,479
Speaker 1: City or Pittsburgh who's out there at twelve or ten

1961
01:39:50,560 --> 01:39:53,679
Speaker 1: and one or eleven and one with four games to play,

1962
01:39:54,120 --> 01:39:57,439
Speaker 1: and you're sitting in there, You're sitting there at whatever

1963
01:39:57,520 --> 01:40:00,400
Speaker 1: you are, nine and two or six and three, eight

1964
01:40:00,439 --> 01:40:03,639
Speaker 1: and three, whatever the numbers are. The Matthews right, you're

1965
01:40:03,640 --> 01:40:05,760
Speaker 1: not gonna get only only one team gets a buy

1966
01:40:06,120 --> 01:40:09,400
Speaker 1: and you're trailing maybe two teams. Yeah, why do you

1967
01:40:09,400 --> 01:40:11,760
Speaker 1: even and you've got the division wrapped up? Why are

1968
01:40:11,760 --> 01:40:13,200
Speaker 1: you even going to play the last month and a

1969
01:40:13,200 --> 01:40:16,280
Speaker 1: half of the season. That's a problem for me. You know,

1970
01:40:18,000 --> 01:40:21,519
Speaker 1: you can see that scenario getting rearing its ugly head

1971
01:40:22,520 --> 01:40:25,800
Speaker 1: way more now than you did when there were two

1972
01:40:25,880 --> 01:40:29,400
Speaker 1: buys to give out. You know what I mean. Teams

1973
01:40:29,439 --> 01:40:31,559
Speaker 1: will be battling right to the end if they're within

1974
01:40:31,640 --> 01:40:34,479
Speaker 1: a game of one another, just to earn that. By right,

1975
01:40:34,640 --> 01:40:37,160
Speaker 1: they will, But two teams will And here's an interesting

1976
01:40:37,200 --> 01:40:40,439
Speaker 1: philosophy that I hadn't really thought of. You could kind

1977
01:40:40,479 --> 01:40:43,560
Speaker 1: of flip the buy and just say, hey, look, I

1978
01:40:43,640 --> 01:40:47,360
Speaker 1: think it's better if we keep, if we maybe rest

1979
01:40:47,400 --> 01:40:50,760
Speaker 1: some guys now, and if we don't get the buy,

1980
01:40:51,040 --> 01:40:53,000
Speaker 1: so what I know, I can give ourselves a buy

1981
01:40:53,080 --> 01:40:55,040
Speaker 1: now because of the cache that I've built up with

1982
01:40:55,080 --> 01:41:01,040
Speaker 1: our record. Let's just yeah, because we don't know if

1983
01:41:01,040 --> 01:41:03,080
Speaker 1: we're gonna get that week off later. Yea, think about it.

1984
01:41:03,600 --> 01:41:05,640
Speaker 1: I wonder how many coaches actually think that you got

1985
01:41:05,720 --> 01:41:07,519
Speaker 1: a three game lead in the division with two games

1986
01:41:07,600 --> 01:41:14,320
Speaker 1: to play. Wow, rest in week seventeen or sixteen two.

1987
01:41:14,400 --> 01:41:18,760
Speaker 1: I mean, you got guys hurts week seventeen. Who cares

1988
01:41:18,760 --> 01:41:21,280
Speaker 1: you're already in That's gonna be a problem for the league.

1989
01:41:21,280 --> 01:41:23,360
Speaker 1: I think because there are coaches that do worry about

1990
01:41:24,120 --> 01:41:26,120
Speaker 1: losing that momentum and never getting it back when the

1991
01:41:26,200 --> 01:41:29,599
Speaker 1: games are really important, important in the post. It's a thing. Yeah,

1992
01:41:29,640 --> 01:41:32,439
Speaker 1: because you guys said a lot in Week seventeen. Yeah,

1993
01:41:33,479 --> 01:41:37,320
Speaker 1: we never won the Super Bowl either. I mean, I'm

1994
01:41:37,360 --> 01:41:39,240
Speaker 1: not saying that was the reason. I can't remember back

1995
01:41:39,280 --> 01:41:42,439
Speaker 1: that probably couldn't, you know, I don't want to talk

1996
01:41:42,479 --> 01:41:44,519
Speaker 1: out of both side. I can't remember that far. But

1997
01:41:44,920 --> 01:41:47,200
Speaker 1: I don't think it's an interesting philosophy now with only

1998
01:41:47,320 --> 01:41:51,719
Speaker 1: one buy there for the taking. You know, do some teams.

1999
01:41:52,000 --> 01:41:54,120
Speaker 1: I think there's gonna be differing philosophies and how to

2000
01:41:54,200 --> 01:41:57,200
Speaker 1: approach it this year. Namely some of these teams that

2001
01:41:57,320 --> 01:42:01,160
Speaker 1: might feel they're in a race to get they may

2002
01:42:01,240 --> 01:42:03,280
Speaker 1: not sell out to get the buy if they know

2003
01:42:03,360 --> 01:42:06,080
Speaker 1: they have their division locked up, and they might rest

2004
01:42:06,160 --> 01:42:08,960
Speaker 1: people even if they're within one game of getting a

2005
01:42:09,000 --> 01:42:11,439
Speaker 1: bye week. They might say, you know what, we're gonna

2006
01:42:11,479 --> 01:42:14,280
Speaker 1: take our buy here in Week seventeen. If we get

2007
01:42:14,360 --> 01:42:17,080
Speaker 1: the buy for the playoffs, great, but that's not a

2008
01:42:17,160 --> 01:42:21,000
Speaker 1: sure thing. Let's take our buy now, gets healthy and

2009
01:42:21,120 --> 01:42:23,920
Speaker 1: get primed for the playoffs because we've got the division

2010
01:42:24,000 --> 01:42:26,400
Speaker 1: locked up. You know, whatever the Bills did that last

2011
01:42:26,479 --> 01:42:29,360
Speaker 1: year didn't work. You know, they took that buy in

2012
01:42:29,439 --> 01:42:32,680
Speaker 1: week seventeen, rested everybody went into Houston and they took

2013
01:42:32,680 --> 01:42:38,280
Speaker 1: them to overtime first half. Yeah, and there's gonna be

2014
01:42:38,800 --> 01:42:41,120
Speaker 1: some real soul searching, particular if you got two games

2015
01:42:41,160 --> 01:42:44,280
Speaker 1: that don't mean anything. Yeah, and then you can rest

2016
01:42:44,439 --> 01:42:46,519
Speaker 1: part of your guys this week, part of them next week.

2017
01:42:46,560 --> 01:42:48,840
Speaker 1: I get that, But I'm telling you it's a thing

2018
01:42:48,920 --> 01:42:50,400
Speaker 1: where you show up and you're just not ready to

2019
01:42:50,439 --> 01:42:53,120
Speaker 1: play because you haven't seen live action or a meaningful

2020
01:42:53,200 --> 01:42:56,360
Speaker 1: game in a month. That's gonna be an issue this

2021
01:42:56,479 --> 01:42:58,559
Speaker 1: year coming down to the stretch for a lot of teams.

2022
01:42:58,640 --> 01:43:00,800
Speaker 1: I think let's go back to the phones and to

2023
01:43:00,960 --> 01:43:03,479
Speaker 1: Paul in Buffalo. Paul, you're on one Bill's Live. What

2024
01:43:03,560 --> 01:43:06,360
Speaker 1: do you have for us? Gentlemen? Thank you for taking

2025
01:43:06,439 --> 01:43:12,240
Speaker 1: my call? You bet okay? I got problems. Um well,

2026
01:43:12,320 --> 01:43:16,559
Speaker 1: Lorenzo william left our team. I think expected UM number

2027
01:43:16,640 --> 01:43:21,040
Speaker 1: forty nine. Lorenzo Williams, Yeah, we lost we lost him

2028
01:43:21,160 --> 01:43:27,360
Speaker 1: in retirement Forrenzo Alexander UM forty nine, big time, right.

2029
01:43:27,479 --> 01:43:29,400
Speaker 1: You think he's been hurt by the loss of Lorenzo.

2030
01:43:30,160 --> 01:43:33,639
Speaker 1: He's definitely hurt. I might be shoulder and fifty five.

2031
01:43:33,840 --> 01:43:36,799
Speaker 1: It's really hurt us too. Awesome, So you're not impressed

2032
01:43:36,840 --> 01:43:38,920
Speaker 1: with what Jerry Hughes has done out there, No, I

2033
01:43:39,000 --> 01:43:41,559
Speaker 1: am not at all, and you are not even guys.

2034
01:43:41,760 --> 01:43:46,160
Speaker 1: I mean, like I had not thought anything anything about

2035
01:43:46,240 --> 01:43:51,920
Speaker 1: him this whole year. Yeah, I get where you're coming from.

2036
01:43:52,160 --> 01:43:55,560
Speaker 1: I get where you're coming from, Paul, the Doctors depenses,

2037
01:43:55,600 --> 01:43:58,200
Speaker 1: But in the hours, how you like that? And then

2038
01:43:58,479 --> 01:44:01,200
Speaker 1: then I can't play. There's a lot of defenses right

2039
01:44:01,240 --> 01:44:03,680
Speaker 1: now that are better than the Bills, Paul. I mean,

2040
01:44:03,720 --> 01:44:07,040
Speaker 1: that's let's just be real, you know, and like and

2041
01:44:07,240 --> 01:44:09,800
Speaker 1: the gap for the gap with forty nine, you know,

2042
01:44:09,880 --> 01:44:12,880
Speaker 1: he losing his gap coverage. Man, But I'm that's my

2043
01:44:13,000 --> 01:44:16,960
Speaker 1: team by Lorenzo. He's hurt. Yeah you think, Yeah, you

2044
01:44:17,000 --> 01:44:21,639
Speaker 1: think Lorenzo's absence is really hurting everybody around him, right, Yeah,

2045
01:44:21,760 --> 01:44:25,080
Speaker 1: he's he's yeah, I get it. I'm so I can

2046
01:44:25,200 --> 01:44:28,439
Speaker 1: hear that. I listen. The defense deserves some criticism. They

2047
01:44:28,560 --> 01:44:31,960
Speaker 1: know it, um, And that's not the same league it

2048
01:44:32,080 --> 01:44:33,960
Speaker 1: was a year ago, and it's not the same defense

2049
01:44:34,040 --> 01:44:35,720
Speaker 1: for the Bills as it was a year ago, and

2050
01:44:36,280 --> 01:44:39,120
Speaker 1: whatever the ripple effects are, I do know this. I

2051
01:44:39,200 --> 01:44:40,720
Speaker 1: think this is a team and I think that the

2052
01:44:40,840 --> 01:44:44,080
Speaker 1: coaching staff has their mindset of they're trying to get

2053
01:44:44,120 --> 01:44:46,439
Speaker 1: these guys better with what they've gotten, who they've gotten.

2054
01:44:46,479 --> 01:44:49,880
Speaker 1: If they can do that, um, the team's gonna be fine.

2055
01:44:49,920 --> 01:44:52,120
Speaker 1: I think they're very good anyway, don't get me wrong,

2056
01:44:52,920 --> 01:44:55,240
Speaker 1: but you're right. They do need to shore up some things.

2057
01:44:55,280 --> 01:44:57,280
Speaker 1: They do need to get more out of the guys

2058
01:44:57,320 --> 01:45:01,120
Speaker 1: they've got playing, whether it's Jerry Us or Matt Milano

2059
01:45:01,240 --> 01:45:03,360
Speaker 1: getting on the field and healthy, getting Dawson Knox back

2060
01:45:03,400 --> 01:45:05,920
Speaker 1: on the field, getting guys healthy, and maybe that will

2061
01:45:05,960 --> 01:45:10,439
Speaker 1: make a difference. Getting John Felicio Feliciano on the field

2062
01:45:10,600 --> 01:45:13,280
Speaker 1: might make a difference. There's a lot of things left

2063
01:45:13,640 --> 01:45:16,400
Speaker 1: in the toolbox for the coaching staff to try, both

2064
01:45:16,520 --> 01:45:18,840
Speaker 1: roster wise and schematically. So you can bet they're gonna

2065
01:45:19,120 --> 01:45:21,000
Speaker 1: you know, they're stand awake nights thinking about it. So

2066
01:45:21,360 --> 01:45:23,320
Speaker 1: we have to wait and see. But this is the

2067
01:45:23,400 --> 01:45:25,400
Speaker 1: same coaching staff it got these guys to four and

2068
01:45:25,479 --> 01:45:27,599
Speaker 1: two and they're pretty good at their job. I got

2069
01:45:27,680 --> 01:45:29,640
Speaker 1: a lot of faith in them. But they do have

2070
01:45:29,800 --> 01:45:31,320
Speaker 1: some work they have to do, and some things they've

2071
01:45:31,360 --> 01:45:33,439
Speaker 1: got to accomplish, and some wartz they've got to make

2072
01:45:33,479 --> 01:45:36,120
Speaker 1: go away. We go back to the phones into Manny

2073
01:45:36,640 --> 01:45:38,360
Speaker 1: on a sell, Manny, what do you have for us?

2074
01:45:38,360 --> 01:45:40,519
Speaker 1: Welcome to the show. All right, gentlemen, this will be

2075
01:45:40,520 --> 01:45:44,040
Speaker 1: a lady. It's your question for you. I'm really I

2076
01:45:44,160 --> 01:45:46,960
Speaker 1: really don't understand what's going on with t J. Yelden.

2077
01:45:47,240 --> 01:45:49,040
Speaker 1: I'm a t J. Yelden fan, and when we got

2078
01:45:49,120 --> 01:45:51,360
Speaker 1: him a few years back, I was very excited about that.

2079
01:45:52,200 --> 01:45:54,720
Speaker 1: But for some reason I just don't understand and not

2080
01:45:54,760 --> 01:45:58,280
Speaker 1: really using him the opportunity when the Food Bank had

2081
01:45:58,360 --> 01:46:00,599
Speaker 1: hurt to put him in there in Kenneth, teach him

2082
01:46:00,600 --> 01:46:02,880
Speaker 1: a little bit, throw the ball to him. I'm thinking, like,

2083
01:46:03,080 --> 01:46:06,000
Speaker 1: why couldn't we use him like Belichick uses a white

2084
01:46:06,400 --> 01:46:08,960
Speaker 1: What gives you what the sixty bubbles out of the

2085
01:46:09,000 --> 01:46:12,120
Speaker 1: backfield another weapon? Manny? Why do you what have you

2086
01:46:12,200 --> 01:46:15,760
Speaker 1: seen from t J. Yelden either in Jacksonville or here

2087
01:46:15,800 --> 01:46:17,280
Speaker 1: in Buffalo that makes you think he would bet a

2088
01:46:17,320 --> 01:46:22,920
Speaker 1: better option than Zach Moss or Devin Singletary. Well, nothing

2089
01:46:22,960 --> 01:46:24,960
Speaker 1: since he's been in Buffalo. It's the problem. But before

2090
01:46:25,000 --> 01:46:26,720
Speaker 1: we got the Buffalo, he was a pretty pretty damn

2091
01:46:26,760 --> 01:46:29,920
Speaker 1: good running back. Um, I just don't know that he's

2092
01:46:29,960 --> 01:46:32,280
Speaker 1: gotten the proper or chance here. He may have dropped

2093
01:46:32,280 --> 01:46:34,360
Speaker 1: a few balls in the beginning of his career you're

2094
01:46:34,400 --> 01:46:36,519
Speaker 1: in Buffalo, but it seems like now he's got a

2095
01:46:36,560 --> 01:46:38,720
Speaker 1: black mark out of his name and that you know,

2096
01:46:38,760 --> 01:46:41,320
Speaker 1: they can get a rookie or somebody it doesn't make

2097
01:46:41,360 --> 01:46:44,040
Speaker 1: as much money and and just take up the space

2098
01:46:44,080 --> 01:46:45,640
Speaker 1: there if they want to. Why are they keeping him?

2099
01:46:45,680 --> 01:46:47,920
Speaker 1: I don't understand. Yeah, I mean I think they do see.

2100
01:46:48,400 --> 01:46:50,960
Speaker 1: I think they do see and thanks for the call, Manny.

2101
01:46:50,960 --> 01:46:53,559
Speaker 1: I think they do see value in him as a player,

2102
01:46:54,240 --> 01:46:56,000
Speaker 1: and they were not afraid to use him in the

2103
01:46:56,040 --> 01:46:58,240
Speaker 1: Titans game, especially in short yardage where I thought he

2104
01:46:58,320 --> 01:47:03,880
Speaker 1: did very well in that Week five game. So or well,

2105
01:47:03,880 --> 01:47:07,439
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter Week four, game five game, well oh yeah,

2106
01:47:07,439 --> 01:47:10,479
Speaker 1: week five okay. So in any event, I thought he

2107
01:47:10,560 --> 01:47:13,160
Speaker 1: did okay for the job he was asked to do

2108
01:47:13,280 --> 01:47:16,559
Speaker 1: when he was up and playing. But I think they

2109
01:47:16,640 --> 01:47:19,600
Speaker 1: just see him as a reserve type presence in the

2110
01:47:19,680 --> 01:47:22,800
Speaker 1: running back room. Whether I mean, obviously you disagree with that,

2111
01:47:22,880 --> 01:47:24,720
Speaker 1: and that's fine. You're entitled to your opinion. You think

2112
01:47:24,720 --> 01:47:26,320
Speaker 1: a lot of T. J. Eldon. I know he had

2113
01:47:27,400 --> 01:47:30,720
Speaker 1: a great career in Alabama, and I think he was

2114
01:47:30,800 --> 01:47:33,880
Speaker 1: the number two high school recruit in the country in

2115
01:47:33,960 --> 01:47:36,280
Speaker 1: his graduating year, so I mean he was a five

2116
01:47:36,320 --> 01:47:41,679
Speaker 1: star guy. We'll see where it goes. I mean we're

2117
01:47:41,920 --> 01:47:45,800
Speaker 1: already seen it, Steve. This coaching staff will not hesitate

2118
01:47:46,360 --> 01:47:48,720
Speaker 1: to try another option if they think there's even the

2119
01:47:49,040 --> 01:47:51,880
Speaker 1: slimmest possibility that it will get them better results on

2120
01:47:51,920 --> 01:47:55,679
Speaker 1: the field. Right and if and I'll say this as well,

2121
01:47:55,720 --> 01:47:59,479
Speaker 1: we've seen evidence that this coaching staff takes practice very seriously.

2122
01:48:00,120 --> 01:48:03,519
Speaker 1: And if they've got a guy who's really lighten it up,

2123
01:48:03,720 --> 01:48:05,479
Speaker 1: lighten it up in practice, they get on the field.

2124
01:48:05,479 --> 01:48:09,519
Speaker 1: I think that's what happened to cam Lewis, zimmer Justin

2125
01:48:09,720 --> 01:48:15,479
Speaker 1: zimmer Us, j H, all those guys. They have made

2126
01:48:15,520 --> 01:48:18,600
Speaker 1: it clear that if guys work hard during practice and

2127
01:48:18,720 --> 01:48:21,200
Speaker 1: contribute and are doing exactly what they're asking him to

2128
01:48:21,240 --> 01:48:23,439
Speaker 1: do and playing better and better and better, they do

2129
01:48:23,600 --> 01:48:26,240
Speaker 1: earn a spot. Duke Williams last year. Duke Williams is

2130
01:48:26,280 --> 01:48:29,000
Speaker 1: a perfect example as well. Bob Foster was a great

2131
01:48:29,040 --> 01:48:31,920
Speaker 1: example while he was here with Buffalo. There are guys

2132
01:48:31,960 --> 01:48:35,840
Speaker 1: who continue to elevate during the regular season. It took

2133
01:48:35,880 --> 01:48:39,040
Speaker 1: Duke Johnson or Duke Williams a long time to get

2134
01:48:39,080 --> 01:48:40,519
Speaker 1: on the field last year, but he did it, and

2135
01:48:40,600 --> 01:48:44,559
Speaker 1: in the playoff game he got ten targets and he's

2136
01:48:44,560 --> 01:48:50,559
Speaker 1: still here. So if t J. Yelden wants to get

2137
01:48:50,640 --> 01:48:53,679
Speaker 1: on the field, certainly he's he's had his chance already.

2138
01:48:54,320 --> 01:48:56,200
Speaker 1: But they've they're hanging on to him for a reason.

2139
01:48:56,280 --> 01:48:58,920
Speaker 1: They they they feel enough about him to keep him

2140
01:48:58,960 --> 01:49:00,840
Speaker 1: on the roster and have a couple of years now.

2141
01:49:01,280 --> 01:49:03,519
Speaker 1: So I'm I don't know about you. I don't know

2142
01:49:03,640 --> 01:49:05,439
Speaker 1: that I'm ready to put him ahead of Zach Moss

2143
01:49:05,479 --> 01:49:09,000
Speaker 1: or ahead of Devin Singletary. But he's here for a reason,

2144
01:49:09,080 --> 01:49:13,519
Speaker 1: and this coaching staff, the way they do business. If

2145
01:49:13,560 --> 01:49:16,559
Speaker 1: he earns a spot, if he earns an opportunity, they're

2146
01:49:16,560 --> 01:49:18,679
Speaker 1: going to give it to him. But in their eyes,

2147
01:49:19,040 --> 01:49:21,960
Speaker 1: it's not the time yet for whatever reason. All right,

2148
01:49:22,040 --> 01:49:24,280
Speaker 1: to Mike and Pittsford. Mike, what do you have for us?

2149
01:49:24,360 --> 01:49:28,920
Speaker 1: Welcome to the showy afternoon, guys, A great show. I

2150
01:49:28,960 --> 01:49:32,360
Speaker 1: always enjoy listening to you. Thank you for me being

2151
01:49:32,400 --> 01:49:35,080
Speaker 1: a long term billspan It's one of those things that

2152
01:49:36,360 --> 01:49:39,519
Speaker 1: how are we going to win now as opposing years passed.

2153
01:49:39,760 --> 01:49:42,200
Speaker 1: If we're gonna win, when are we gonna win? So,

2154
01:49:42,560 --> 01:49:44,560
Speaker 1: I mean, we got the tools to find ways to

2155
01:49:44,640 --> 01:49:47,720
Speaker 1: win now, and let's just focus on it and concentrate

2156
01:49:48,200 --> 01:49:52,400
Speaker 1: and as far as dominating this weekend, for me, I'd

2157
01:49:52,720 --> 01:49:56,360
Speaker 1: rather see them, you know, commanding a good win and

2158
01:49:56,680 --> 01:49:59,600
Speaker 1: showing development in all departments, you know, because we got

2159
01:49:59,680 --> 01:50:01,439
Speaker 1: a lot that we're nicked up out there, you know,

2160
01:50:01,439 --> 01:50:04,559
Speaker 1: a few warts, like Steve says, so you know, get

2161
01:50:04,600 --> 01:50:07,000
Speaker 1: those cleared up and show progress in each one of

2162
01:50:07,040 --> 01:50:09,599
Speaker 1: those departments. That's when I would be looking for from

2163
01:50:09,600 --> 01:50:12,200
Speaker 1: the team. Okay, Mike, I appreciate the call. Thank you.

2164
01:50:13,320 --> 01:50:15,600
Speaker 1: That's why I found Turdevious White's comments so interesting. We

2165
01:50:15,680 --> 01:50:19,080
Speaker 1: hear coach McDermott talk all the time about complimentary football,

2166
01:50:19,160 --> 01:50:21,439
Speaker 1: each phase of the game helping the other two phases.

2167
01:50:22,600 --> 01:50:25,160
Speaker 1: You know, whether it's special teams getting a long return

2168
01:50:25,240 --> 01:50:27,920
Speaker 1: to give the offense a short field, or the defense

2169
01:50:28,000 --> 01:50:30,840
Speaker 1: getting a takeaway and a return to give them a

2170
01:50:30,880 --> 01:50:33,120
Speaker 1: short field, you know, all of that stuff, or the

2171
01:50:33,240 --> 01:50:36,720
Speaker 1: offense staging along twelve play drive after the defense was

2172
01:50:36,800 --> 01:50:38,519
Speaker 1: on the field for an eight minute scoring drive by

2173
01:50:38,520 --> 01:50:42,160
Speaker 1: the opposition giving them a break. It all fits together,

2174
01:50:42,280 --> 01:50:44,760
Speaker 1: and coach preaches that an awful lot. And that's why

2175
01:50:44,800 --> 01:50:47,320
Speaker 1: I found urdevious whites comments so interesting. He's of the

2176
01:50:47,439 --> 01:50:50,439
Speaker 1: opinion that the identity of the defense this year is

2177
01:50:50,520 --> 01:50:52,920
Speaker 1: going to be their takeaway ability. We haven't seen it

2178
01:50:53,479 --> 01:50:55,599
Speaker 1: pop up enough to this point. They only have two

2179
01:50:55,680 --> 01:51:00,120
Speaker 1: interceptions on the entire season and five fumble recoveries, a

2180
01:51:00,160 --> 01:51:04,360
Speaker 1: total of seven takeaways in six games. That number is

2181
01:51:04,360 --> 01:51:07,320
Speaker 1: going to have to spike a little bit if that's

2182
01:51:07,320 --> 01:51:09,920
Speaker 1: going to be your identity. But there is no question

2183
01:51:10,160 --> 01:51:16,120
Speaker 1: that takeaway ability is a gigantic equalizer or difference maker

2184
01:51:16,280 --> 01:51:18,240
Speaker 1: in a football game. So if they can be that,

2185
01:51:19,400 --> 01:51:22,160
Speaker 1: I think everybody's on board. But we've got to see

2186
01:51:22,200 --> 01:51:23,920
Speaker 1: more of it here in the coming weeks, especially with

2187
01:51:24,000 --> 01:51:25,760
Speaker 1: the caliber of opponents coming up. Yeah, they got to

2188
01:51:25,800 --> 01:51:28,320
Speaker 1: find a way to get the ball out if they're

2189
01:51:28,320 --> 01:51:30,880
Speaker 1: going to give up yards, Okay, fine, they're not giving

2190
01:51:30,960 --> 01:51:34,120
Speaker 1: up that many points. They held Kansas City to below

2191
01:51:34,160 --> 01:51:37,760
Speaker 1: their season average. The Tennessee game, like I keep saying,

2192
01:51:37,800 --> 01:51:40,000
Speaker 1: was a little bit of an aberration on in every way,

2193
01:51:40,040 --> 01:51:43,000
Speaker 1: shape and form and I'm willing to kind of throw

2194
01:51:43,080 --> 01:51:45,840
Speaker 1: that one in the garbage, but they've got to do

2195
01:51:46,080 --> 01:51:49,360
Speaker 1: something to get the football out, or they've got to

2196
01:51:49,400 --> 01:51:51,760
Speaker 1: be either getting turnovers or they've got to be a

2197
01:51:51,880 --> 01:51:57,560
Speaker 1: really really good third down defense. If either one of

2198
01:51:57,600 --> 01:52:02,080
Speaker 1: those two things becomes through, this team will be fine

2199
01:52:02,439 --> 01:52:05,720
Speaker 1: defensively and offensively too. For that matter, time to go

2200
01:52:05,800 --> 01:52:07,760
Speaker 1: to the tweet sheet. We haven't gotten there yet, We're

2201
01:52:07,760 --> 01:52:09,400
Speaker 1: gonna get there now. And is brought to you by

2202
01:52:09,479 --> 01:52:12,080
Speaker 1: Corrigan Moving Systems, the official equipment moving company of the

2203
01:52:12,120 --> 01:52:15,280
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. Will a dominant went over the Jets. Restore

2204
01:52:15,320 --> 01:52:19,880
Speaker 1: your confidence in the Bills and why from Jeremy g Yes,

2205
01:52:20,720 --> 01:52:22,720
Speaker 1: only because it should give us a week to not

2206
01:52:22,880 --> 01:52:27,240
Speaker 1: hear the couch warriors calling in complaining about the team. People.

2207
01:52:27,720 --> 01:52:30,080
Speaker 1: This season is more critical than the seasons we went

2208
01:52:30,120 --> 01:52:32,679
Speaker 1: four and twelve or six and ten. Having a Jets

2209
01:52:32,760 --> 01:52:36,040
Speaker 1: bye week is a perfect time for people to settle down.

2210
01:52:37,520 --> 01:52:40,400
Speaker 1: Look at Jeremy g Wagon his finger at the Bills

2211
01:52:40,479 --> 01:52:43,479
Speaker 1: fan base coming out firing with both well, yeah, I

2212
01:52:43,600 --> 01:52:46,559
Speaker 1: get it, and we well, we notice it as much

2213
01:52:46,600 --> 01:52:48,920
Speaker 1: as anybody we have. And for those of you listening

2214
01:52:48,920 --> 01:52:52,640
Speaker 1: and watch us every day. On a week where the

2215
01:52:52,680 --> 01:52:57,000
Speaker 1: Bills lose, we get our phone rings off the hook.

2216
01:52:57,280 --> 01:52:59,040
Speaker 1: People want to talk to us about what they think

2217
01:52:59,280 --> 01:53:00,800
Speaker 1: they can fix it, or what they can do it,

2218
01:53:00,920 --> 01:53:02,439
Speaker 1: or what they're doing or what they're not doing, or

2219
01:53:02,479 --> 01:53:04,559
Speaker 1: what moves they could make, what moves they shouldn't have made,

2220
01:53:05,320 --> 01:53:08,840
Speaker 1: the whole, the whole menu of that. And obviously Jeremy

2221
01:53:08,880 --> 01:53:11,880
Speaker 1: has been listening because you know, and I get it.

2222
01:53:12,560 --> 01:53:15,559
Speaker 1: We're the same way we come in and haggle about

2223
01:53:15,600 --> 01:53:18,840
Speaker 1: what went wrong with kim it and so, yeah, I'm

2224
01:53:18,880 --> 01:53:21,519
Speaker 1: totally with you. A win would make everybody feel better,

2225
01:53:22,240 --> 01:53:26,400
Speaker 1: I think, particularly a decisive win. Yeah, you want to

2226
01:53:26,439 --> 01:53:29,120
Speaker 1: see a good team beat up on a team that's

2227
01:53:29,160 --> 01:53:32,479
Speaker 1: not good, and the Jets are not good. It's just

2228
01:53:32,680 --> 01:53:35,559
Speaker 1: in there. Yeah, I don't think that's breaking news from

2229
01:53:35,680 --> 01:53:39,120
Speaker 1: Darryl on the tweet sheet. The Bills should dominate the Jets,

2230
01:53:39,160 --> 01:53:42,240
Speaker 1: but that's what the Bills do, beat subpart teams and

2231
01:53:42,360 --> 01:53:45,880
Speaker 1: sometimes less than convincingly. So the only thing that would

2232
01:53:45,920 --> 01:53:49,280
Speaker 1: restore confidence in the Bills for me is beating a

2233
01:53:49,439 --> 01:53:54,320
Speaker 1: proven great team. And there have been some callers today

2234
01:53:54,360 --> 01:53:57,439
Speaker 1: that share that sentiment. Yeah, it's I get it, it's A.

2235
01:53:57,600 --> 01:54:02,400
Speaker 1: It's a. It's a it's valid, completely valid. I get it.

2236
01:54:02,479 --> 01:54:04,800
Speaker 1: I mean you think about the Bills coming up. The

2237
01:54:04,880 --> 01:54:07,680
Speaker 1: Bills have got as hard a schedule as there is

2238
01:54:07,720 --> 01:54:10,120
Speaker 1: in the league. They're like top five and degree of

2239
01:54:10,200 --> 01:54:13,719
Speaker 1: difficulty for the remaining schedule. They got the Patriots, the Seahawks,

2240
01:54:13,800 --> 01:54:17,680
Speaker 1: the Cardinals, the Chargers. Even the Chargers are a tougher team. Now, yes,

2241
01:54:18,040 --> 01:54:21,599
Speaker 1: the Chargers, the Niners, the Steelers, and now the Broncos

2242
01:54:21,680 --> 01:54:24,240
Speaker 1: who just beat the Patriots, although the Patriots were you know,

2243
01:54:25,040 --> 01:54:27,479
Speaker 1: no shows for two weeks before that, so they've got

2244
01:54:27,560 --> 01:54:31,880
Speaker 1: some team that's stretched between the first Patriots game. Then

2245
01:54:31,920 --> 01:54:35,400
Speaker 1: you got the Seahawks, the Cardinals, the Chargers, the Niners,

2246
01:54:35,520 --> 01:54:40,520
Speaker 1: the Steelers. That's the gauntlet right there. How well can

2247
01:54:40,600 --> 01:54:44,960
Speaker 1: you play in that stretch of games is gonna say

2248
01:54:44,960 --> 01:54:46,920
Speaker 1: a lot about how good you really think you are

2249
01:54:47,000 --> 01:54:49,160
Speaker 1: and how good you know, how much smack you can

2250
01:54:49,200 --> 01:54:52,720
Speaker 1: talk about your team Going forward from Andrew, they need

2251
01:54:52,880 --> 01:54:56,040
Speaker 1: to show that they can at the very least compete

2252
01:54:56,120 --> 01:54:59,320
Speaker 1: with the top teams in the AFC. Dominating the worst

2253
01:54:59,360 --> 01:55:02,400
Speaker 1: team in the league. Can't hide that they got dominated

2254
01:55:02,520 --> 01:55:07,839
Speaker 1: by the best. I'm sensing a theme here. Steve from Dinah.

2255
01:55:09,240 --> 01:55:11,360
Speaker 1: Not really. A win's not going to really make me

2256
01:55:11,480 --> 01:55:14,640
Speaker 1: more Have my confidence restored in the Bills. First, my

2257
01:55:14,760 --> 01:55:18,200
Speaker 1: confidence is still pretty high. Well, that's good. Second, I

2258
01:55:18,320 --> 01:55:20,480
Speaker 1: expect a dominant went over the Jets. A close game

2259
01:55:20,560 --> 01:55:23,320
Speaker 1: might only shake my confidence, but a loss could sabotage

2260
01:55:23,400 --> 01:55:27,560
Speaker 1: it entirely. Oh, I don't even want to think about that.

2261
01:55:28,880 --> 01:55:32,160
Speaker 1: And from primetime, Nick I skipped over him. Sorry, Nick,

2262
01:55:32,520 --> 01:55:35,240
Speaker 1: I'm already confident they'll beat the Jets and lower tier opponents.

2263
01:55:35,280 --> 01:55:39,080
Speaker 1: Our confidence is questionable against their top tier teams. Hopefully

2264
01:55:39,160 --> 01:55:43,320
Speaker 1: Dabil and Frasier come up with winning formulas. I think

2265
01:55:43,440 --> 01:55:47,280
Speaker 1: this game this says a lot about what the Bills

2266
01:55:47,320 --> 01:55:52,680
Speaker 1: can do going for it. I continue to be curious

2267
01:55:52,880 --> 01:55:58,240
Speaker 1: about how McDermott and company, Dave all Frasier, you know

2268
01:55:59,160 --> 01:56:02,080
Speaker 1: all these guys he farwell, for example, as well the

2269
01:56:02,200 --> 01:56:09,760
Speaker 1: three coordinators. They continue to tinker with things actively, more

2270
01:56:09,840 --> 01:56:13,040
Speaker 1: so than maybe we've seen other team other coaches do.

2271
01:56:14,640 --> 01:56:17,800
Speaker 1: They've tinkered with the offensive line, they continue to constantly

2272
01:56:17,840 --> 01:56:23,840
Speaker 1: tinker and rotate the defensive line. They've tried Cam Lewis

2273
01:56:23,920 --> 01:56:26,720
Speaker 1: in for tarn Johnson. They've tried Josh Norman in for

2274
01:56:26,880 --> 01:56:28,920
Speaker 1: Levi Wallace. Now. They've also had to work around some

2275
01:56:29,040 --> 01:56:31,960
Speaker 1: injuries that they didn't anticipate. John Feliciano in and out,

2276
01:56:32,360 --> 01:56:36,560
Speaker 1: Quentin Spain in and out, and cut Cody Ford right guard,

2277
01:56:36,920 --> 01:56:40,720
Speaker 1: left guard. All this stuff has happened during this season

2278
01:56:40,800 --> 01:56:44,320
Speaker 1: has been most of it, I know most of it.

2279
01:56:44,400 --> 01:56:48,560
Speaker 1: Half of it has been a decision, not forced by

2280
01:56:48,600 --> 01:56:52,600
Speaker 1: any injury, not forced by any tinkering or because this,

2281
01:56:53,280 --> 01:56:56,320
Speaker 1: you know, just out of curiosity. It has been tinkering

2282
01:56:56,960 --> 01:56:59,720
Speaker 1: because and it's been decisions by the coaching staff to

2283
01:56:59,800 --> 01:57:03,760
Speaker 1: try something to get better. And that continues to intrigue

2284
01:57:03,760 --> 01:57:06,240
Speaker 1: me as I intrigued me as I watched the inactives

2285
01:57:06,240 --> 01:57:08,080
Speaker 1: every week and I watched the teams come on and

2286
01:57:08,160 --> 01:57:10,440
Speaker 1: off the field. Who's playing and who's actually who's in

2287
01:57:10,600 --> 01:57:12,920
Speaker 1: this week that didn't get a play, Brian Cox Junior

2288
01:57:13,080 --> 01:57:18,160
Speaker 1: and Justin Zimmer holy crow, what you know. And that's

2289
01:57:18,800 --> 01:57:21,560
Speaker 1: it's going to continue. I think it's going to continue.

2290
01:57:22,040 --> 01:57:24,320
Speaker 1: Not so much on the offensive side. I think they're

2291
01:57:24,360 --> 01:57:25,840
Speaker 1: kind of settling in maybe a little bit on the

2292
01:57:25,880 --> 01:57:29,000
Speaker 1: offensive line now with Spain gone and whatever, in Feliciano

2293
01:57:29,080 --> 01:57:32,520
Speaker 1: getting healthy maybe and of course Zach Moss now on

2294
01:57:32,640 --> 01:57:35,560
Speaker 1: the field again, but Dawson Knox is still a question

2295
01:57:35,640 --> 01:57:37,560
Speaker 1: mark how long it's going to be before he gets

2296
01:57:37,600 --> 01:57:40,480
Speaker 1: back on the field so as a hamstring, right, So

2297
01:57:40,600 --> 01:57:43,480
Speaker 1: they've got some of that going on, but certainly on

2298
01:57:43,520 --> 01:57:46,040
Speaker 1: the defensive side, they're going to continue to churn that

2299
01:57:46,360 --> 01:57:48,640
Speaker 1: roster over there and the lineup to see if they

2300
01:57:48,680 --> 01:57:50,920
Speaker 1: can get better over there. And I think the players

2301
01:57:50,960 --> 01:57:53,640
Speaker 1: will respond. From Doug on the tweet sheet, a win

2302
01:57:53,880 --> 01:57:57,440
Speaker 1: doesn't change anything. We're supposed to beat the worst team

2303
01:57:57,480 --> 01:58:00,160
Speaker 1: in the league. But a loss in this game will

2304
01:58:00,200 --> 01:58:03,960
Speaker 1: push this Bill's team into an absolute free fall of

2305
01:58:04,080 --> 01:58:06,840
Speaker 1: negativity and strip the team of any confidence it built

2306
01:58:06,880 --> 01:58:09,640
Speaker 1: up in the first four weeks. Now you say to Doug,

2307
01:58:10,240 --> 01:58:13,040
Speaker 1: Doug's getting a little yeah a shape here, Old Doug.

2308
01:58:13,080 --> 01:58:15,200
Speaker 1: Wait till the game's over, you know, I mean, And

2309
01:58:15,280 --> 01:58:17,760
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. And one of the callers said this today,

2310
01:58:17,880 --> 01:58:19,800
Speaker 1: It don't I mean, I get it. It'd be great

2311
01:58:19,840 --> 01:58:25,080
Speaker 1: to beat him forty two zip, but I don't care

2312
01:58:25,080 --> 01:58:28,120
Speaker 1: if they beat him nine to six. Win is a win,

2313
01:58:28,200 --> 01:58:31,120
Speaker 1: and it can't win. It can't out two to nothing.

2314
01:58:31,640 --> 01:58:34,240
Speaker 1: It'll it'll be it'll be a bummer that you know

2315
01:58:34,320 --> 01:58:36,320
Speaker 1: it was a tough game and all that and the jests,

2316
01:58:36,480 --> 01:58:40,480
Speaker 1: but take the win, take the win, and wherever you

2317
01:58:40,560 --> 01:58:43,800
Speaker 1: can get it, however you can get it. I'm yeah,

2318
01:58:43,960 --> 01:58:46,320
Speaker 1: it's always fun and it always you know, we're always

2319
01:58:46,360 --> 01:58:48,520
Speaker 1: all have all this angst as Bills fans, and you

2320
01:58:48,640 --> 01:58:50,280
Speaker 1: hit this game, so it's like, oh, man, just and

2321
01:58:50,520 --> 01:58:53,000
Speaker 1: they get a quick, quick, early touchdown or something. It's like, oh,

2322
01:58:53,320 --> 01:58:55,680
Speaker 1: and it's just so much. It's so much stress relief

2323
01:58:55,840 --> 01:58:57,920
Speaker 1: because now they got not only they start out good,

2324
01:58:58,120 --> 01:59:00,320
Speaker 1: now they've got a seven point lead. Now we can

2325
01:59:00,400 --> 01:59:05,600
Speaker 1: take take a deep breath, don't that's that's fine, but

2326
01:59:05,760 --> 01:59:07,760
Speaker 1: it's just as good to go out and win it

2327
01:59:07,840 --> 01:59:10,400
Speaker 1: on the last play of the game. It all counts,

2328
01:59:10,960 --> 01:59:12,640
Speaker 1: and that's where you got to You gotta see big

2329
01:59:12,720 --> 01:59:15,560
Speaker 1: picture here, and no matter how it looks, the Jets

2330
01:59:15,600 --> 01:59:17,400
Speaker 1: are gonna come out and they're gonna try at their

2331
01:59:17,480 --> 01:59:20,240
Speaker 1: best to punch the Bills in the mouth. You gotta

2332
01:59:20,240 --> 01:59:22,720
Speaker 1: be ready for that. Yeah, we have to take a break,

2333
01:59:22,760 --> 01:59:25,480
Speaker 1: but when we return, Maddie Glab will check in with

2334
01:59:25,760 --> 01:59:29,360
Speaker 1: Jets beat reporter Olivia Landis to get the four to

2336
01:59:33,240 --> 01:59:36,520
Speaker 1: in New Jersey, as it's looking more and more like

2337
01:59:36,720 --> 01:59:39,800
Speaker 1: Sam Darnold will be playing on Sunday as he returns

2338
01:59:39,840 --> 01:59:42,320
Speaker 1: from a two game absence due to a left shoulder injury.

2339
01:59:42,400 --> 01:59:45,280
Speaker 1: So she'll provide an update on that and many other

2340

Speaker 1: Bill's Live. Presented by a Lot of Health. This is

Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill's Radio. Chris Browns keep tasker One Bills Live.

2343
02:00:04,400 --> 02:00:07,040
Speaker 1: Time to get some info now on the New York

2344
02:00:07,160 --> 02:00:10,080
Speaker 1: Jets and where things stand with them. Got some players

2345
02:00:10,120 --> 02:00:12,400
Speaker 1: on the injury list, they may or may not play.

2346
02:00:12,480 --> 02:00:14,960
Speaker 1: They are getting healthier, so let's check in now with

2347
02:00:15,040 --> 02:00:19,760
Speaker 1: Maddie glab who's with Jets beat reporter Olivia Landis, Olivia,

2348
02:00:19,880 --> 02:00:21,680
Speaker 1: thanks so much for being with us. We got one

2349
02:00:21,720 --> 02:00:24,200
Speaker 1: of the Jets reporters here to help us preview this

2350
02:00:24,480 --> 02:00:27,680
Speaker 1: Bills and Jets match up here in week seven and

2351
02:00:27,800 --> 02:00:30,880
Speaker 1: in recent weeks, Olivia, this Jets team has really started

2352
02:00:30,920 --> 02:00:32,880
Speaker 1: to look different. Of course, when the Bills faced them

2353
02:00:32,920 --> 02:00:35,360
Speaker 1: in week one, they were without Jamal Adams. But now

2354
02:00:35,440 --> 02:00:38,440
Speaker 1: in the past few weeks, even this week, we've seen

2355
02:00:38,480 --> 02:00:42,120
Speaker 1: this team change quite a bit. Specifically the running back

2356
02:00:42,240 --> 02:00:44,480
Speaker 1: lava On Bell not being on the Jets anymore. So,

2357
02:00:44,640 --> 02:00:47,520
Speaker 1: how have you seen this team change since the start

2358
02:00:47,560 --> 02:00:50,400
Speaker 1: of the season. Well, Mattie, you mentioned it right there.

2359
02:00:50,560 --> 02:00:53,120
Speaker 1: Running Back Lavian Bell, who at the beginning of the

2360
02:00:53,160 --> 02:00:56,560
Speaker 1: season was a very key player in this offense, is

2361
02:00:56,600 --> 02:00:59,920
Speaker 1: now gone and general manager Joe Douglas released a statement

2362
02:01:00,120 --> 02:01:03,160
Speaker 1: earlier last week and he talked about how it just

2363
02:01:03,320 --> 02:01:06,240
Speaker 1: didn't work out for both sides. He said, initially they

2364
02:01:06,280 --> 02:01:08,400
Speaker 1: were trying to shop around and see if they could

2365
02:01:08,440 --> 02:01:10,960
Speaker 1: get any offers for running back lady On Bell, and

2366
02:01:11,040 --> 02:01:13,480
Speaker 1: that wasn't the case, which is why they ended up

2367
02:01:13,520 --> 02:01:15,800
Speaker 1: having to release him. But at the end of the day,

2368
02:01:15,880 --> 02:01:18,120
Speaker 1: both sides just said, you know, it just didn't work out,

2369
02:01:18,240 --> 02:01:20,240
Speaker 1: and that's the name of the game. You know, football

2370
02:01:20,400 --> 02:01:22,200
Speaker 1: is a business at the end of the day, and

2371
02:01:22,600 --> 02:01:25,280
Speaker 1: both sides seemed to be happy and trying to move on.

2372
02:01:25,800 --> 02:01:28,200
Speaker 1: At this point in time, the Jets are just searching

2373
02:01:28,440 --> 02:01:30,960
Speaker 1: for their first win. Head coach Adam Gay said that

2374
02:01:31,000 --> 02:01:33,440
Speaker 1: this team is trying to turn things around and look

2375
02:01:33,480 --> 02:01:35,920
Speaker 1: ahead to Week seven as they're matching up against the

2376
02:01:35,960 --> 02:01:38,560
Speaker 1: Bills for the second time this year. So heading into

2377
02:01:38,600 --> 02:01:40,840
Speaker 1: Week seven, you know, we talked about, I think in

2378
02:01:40,880 --> 02:01:44,000
Speaker 1: our first interview that Sam Darnold would have this comeback

2379
02:01:44,120 --> 02:01:46,560
Speaker 1: season in that last year, you know, he was out

2380
02:01:46,640 --> 02:01:49,960
Speaker 1: for a few games with that mono and never really

2381
02:01:49,960 --> 02:01:51,920
Speaker 1: seemed to get kind of back into it. Yes, the

2382
02:01:52,000 --> 02:01:54,240
Speaker 1: Jets did finish the season on quite a high note.

2383
02:01:54,280 --> 02:01:56,400
Speaker 1: But heading into this season, you're thinking, all right, Sam

2384
02:01:56,520 --> 02:01:58,920
Speaker 1: Darnold's got an entire year in front of him, and

2385
02:01:59,040 --> 02:02:00,840
Speaker 1: right now it seems like he's dealing with a little

2386
02:02:00,880 --> 02:02:04,320
Speaker 1: bit of a shoulder injury and hasn't really gotten into

2387
02:02:04,640 --> 02:02:07,000
Speaker 1: maybe the Sam Donald that people thought he would be

2388
02:02:07,680 --> 02:02:11,040
Speaker 1: heading into this season. He's completing fifty nine percent of

2389
02:02:11,120 --> 02:02:14,520
Speaker 1: his passes right now, he is rushing the ball quite

2390
02:02:14,560 --> 02:02:18,320
Speaker 1: a bit. His yards per attempt to average ranks second

2391
02:02:18,400 --> 02:02:21,840
Speaker 1: among all other quarterbacks. So what's the latest on Sam Darnald.

2392
02:02:21,920 --> 02:02:24,480
Speaker 1: Why haven't why hasn't he really been able to get

2393
02:02:24,520 --> 02:02:29,080
Speaker 1: into that groove yet heading into the half point of

2394
02:02:29,120 --> 02:02:32,480
Speaker 1: the season here, Yeah, Head coach Adam Gas was asked

2395
02:02:32,480 --> 02:02:35,640
Speaker 1: about Sam Donald yesterday and his media availability, and he

2396
02:02:35,760 --> 02:02:38,920
Speaker 1: talked about this week being extremely important in determining whether

2397
02:02:39,040 --> 02:02:42,120
Speaker 1: or not Sam Donald is going to start this weekend

2398
02:02:42,240 --> 02:02:44,120
Speaker 1: or not. He said, it's pretty much day to day.

2399
02:02:44,160 --> 02:02:47,280
Speaker 1: It's trying to see his progress, trying to see exactly

2400
02:02:47,400 --> 02:02:49,880
Speaker 1: how he feels. So that will determine a lot this

2401
02:02:50,040 --> 02:02:52,840
Speaker 1: week in practice as far as his progress. You know,

2402
02:02:52,880 --> 02:02:55,320
Speaker 1: it's tough. He's a player who is in his third year.

2403
02:02:55,440 --> 02:02:58,320
Speaker 1: I think there's always really high expectations on a quarterback,

2404
02:02:58,720 --> 02:03:00,960
Speaker 1: especially in their third season, and we have to keep

2405
02:03:01,000 --> 02:03:04,920
Speaker 1: in mind Sam Donald hasn't had his starting receivers pretty

2406
02:03:05,000 --> 02:03:07,880
Speaker 1: much all season that he's been able to play. You know,

2407
02:03:07,920 --> 02:03:10,640
Speaker 1: Breshad Pairman was out for a while dealing with some injuries.

2408
02:03:10,920 --> 02:03:14,000
Speaker 1: Wide receiver Jameson Crowder was even out a couple of weeks,

2409
02:03:14,360 --> 02:03:16,680
Speaker 1: and Denzel Mims, the rookie who was drafted in the

2410
02:03:16,760 --> 02:03:19,440
Speaker 1: second round, hasn't even been able to play in a

2411
02:03:19,560 --> 02:03:22,440
Speaker 1: game yet. So I think that some of the struggles

2412
02:03:22,520 --> 02:03:26,480
Speaker 1: there oftentimes come from a lack of consistency just because

2413
02:03:26,480 --> 02:03:29,240
Speaker 1: of injuries, and injuries are definitely a part of a game.

2414
02:03:29,400 --> 02:03:31,360
Speaker 1: The Jets are not special in any fact that they're

2415
02:03:31,400 --> 02:03:33,800
Speaker 1: the only team dealing with injuries. However, I think that

2416
02:03:33,880 --> 02:03:36,360
Speaker 1: that's very important when it comes to a quarterback who

2417
02:03:36,600 --> 02:03:38,800
Speaker 1: needs to find that rhythm and needs to get in

2418
02:03:39,440 --> 02:03:43,640
Speaker 1: a consistent rhythm with his starting receivers and his starting weapons.

2419
02:03:43,720 --> 02:03:46,720
Speaker 1: So you know, some players were back this week. We

2420
02:03:47,080 --> 02:03:49,240
Speaker 1: were hoping to see, you know, as soon as Sam

2421
02:03:49,320 --> 02:03:52,240
Speaker 1: Donald is healthy, more of that consistency like you mentioned

2422
02:03:52,280 --> 02:03:54,360
Speaker 1: in his third year. But we'll just have to see

2423
02:03:54,440 --> 02:03:57,000
Speaker 1: how it goes from there. You know, the Bills have

2424
02:03:57,200 --> 02:04:00,600
Speaker 1: lost the last two games and the Jets are searching

2425
02:04:00,720 --> 02:04:03,160
Speaker 1: for their first win on the season. Of course, both

2426
02:04:03,240 --> 02:04:06,560
Speaker 1: teams wanting to get a win here in week seven.

2427
02:04:06,800 --> 02:04:10,600
Speaker 1: What has Adam Gas and the players pointed to as

2428
02:04:10,960 --> 02:04:13,680
Speaker 1: a reason maybe why they haven't been able to find

2429
02:04:13,880 --> 02:04:16,640
Speaker 1: that first win? And I guess how do you see

2430
02:04:16,720 --> 02:04:19,840
Speaker 1: this team progressing in the direction of maybe picking a

2431
02:04:19,920 --> 02:04:23,880
Speaker 1: win up here in the next few weeks. Hey, Adam

2432
02:04:23,920 --> 02:04:27,520
Speaker 1: Gas was very honest in a post game interview a

2433
02:04:27,560 --> 02:04:30,520
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago, and when he just talked about, honestly,

2434
02:04:30,640 --> 02:04:33,280
Speaker 1: this team, we're just not doing anything right at the moment.

2435
02:04:33,360 --> 02:04:36,960
Speaker 1: He said, it's hard for them to find some consistency.

2436
02:04:37,040 --> 02:04:39,160
Speaker 1: He said they aren't doing a lot of things well.

2437
02:04:39,640 --> 02:04:42,240
Speaker 1: So he was very honest about that, and which is

2438
02:04:42,280 --> 02:04:44,640
Speaker 1: why at the moment the team has not been able

2439
02:04:44,680 --> 02:04:47,360
Speaker 1: to snag their first win. However, I would say one

2440
02:04:47,400 --> 02:04:49,880
Speaker 1: of the positives that this team can probably look to

2441
02:04:50,000 --> 02:04:52,800
Speaker 1: and build off of is the defense. Over the last

2442
02:04:53,480 --> 02:04:57,880
Speaker 1: three games, the Jets defense has had six interceptions seven

2443
02:04:57,960 --> 02:05:00,720
Speaker 1: total overall this season, and so I think that that

2444
02:05:00,880 --> 02:05:03,200
Speaker 1: is a positive that they can build off of. Greg

2445
02:05:03,360 --> 02:05:07,320
Speaker 1: Williams has always the defensive coordinator, has always reiterated the

2446
02:05:07,400 --> 02:05:10,760
Speaker 1: importance of takeaways, and when a team is able and

2447
02:05:10,800 --> 02:05:12,760
Speaker 1: a defense is able to get takeaways, I think that

2448
02:05:12,840 --> 02:05:15,000
Speaker 1: the offense then needs to build off of that. So

2449
02:05:15,080 --> 02:05:17,400
Speaker 1: I think that's one positive that they might be able

2450
02:05:17,440 --> 02:05:20,520
Speaker 1: to look forward to in the coming weeks. Who do

2451
02:05:20,600 --> 02:05:22,840
Speaker 1: you think is an emerging weapon for this team. Maybe

2452
02:05:22,920 --> 02:05:25,280
Speaker 1: it's someone who is coming off of an injury. Maybe

2453
02:05:25,320 --> 02:05:27,600
Speaker 1: it's a rookie who we haven't really seen yet. Who

2454
02:05:27,640 --> 02:05:30,200
Speaker 1: do you see as someone who could be an impact

2455
02:05:30,600 --> 02:05:35,440
Speaker 1: on this team in the next coming weeks. Actually, Maddie,

2456
02:05:35,440 --> 02:05:38,040
Speaker 1: I'm not going to go with the rookie. I'm probably

2457
02:05:38,080 --> 02:05:41,480
Speaker 1: going to say safety Marcus May who's in his fourth season,

2458
02:05:41,880 --> 02:05:44,720
Speaker 1: so he is a veteran. But Adam Gays was talking

2459
02:05:44,760 --> 02:05:47,920
Speaker 1: about him yesterday in his availability and he was talking

2460
02:05:47,960 --> 02:05:50,520
Speaker 1: about how his role has changed a lot this season.

2461
02:05:51,000 --> 02:05:54,080
Speaker 1: You know, the past three years safety Jamal Adams was

2462
02:05:54,120 --> 02:05:56,200
Speaker 1: back there, they were called the dynamic duo, so he

2463
02:05:56,280 --> 02:05:59,360
Speaker 1: had a very different role in the defense. This year,

2464
02:05:59,480 --> 02:06:02,360
Speaker 1: he's he's a veteran on that defense. He is playing

2465
02:06:02,480 --> 02:06:04,880
Speaker 1: an extremely different role on the defense, and I think

2466
02:06:05,320 --> 02:06:08,600
Speaker 1: that you've really seen his leadership emerge. Adam Gays talked

2467
02:06:08,600 --> 02:06:12,400
Speaker 1: about how his leadership and his vocality inside that locker room,

2468
02:06:12,520 --> 02:06:14,320
Speaker 1: you could just notice it. He said, he's on the

2469
02:06:14,440 --> 02:06:17,520
Speaker 1: sidelines when the offense does well, you can see him

2470
02:06:17,600 --> 02:06:19,960
Speaker 1: rooting for them, trying to get the defense up. So

2471
02:06:20,080 --> 02:06:22,800
Speaker 1: I think he is a player that has emerged, as

2472
02:06:23,120 --> 02:06:25,640
Speaker 1: he's always been a very, very talented player, but I

2473
02:06:25,680 --> 02:06:28,160
Speaker 1: think he's emerged into a different role this year. So

2474
02:06:28,280 --> 02:06:30,080
Speaker 1: I think he is a player that you're going to

2475
02:06:30,160 --> 02:06:33,400
Speaker 1: see have a large impact on this team. In Week one,

2476
02:06:33,480 --> 02:06:36,880
Speaker 1: and the Jets struggled to stop the Bills offensively as

2477
02:06:36,960 --> 02:06:39,440
Speaker 1: they put twenty seven points on the board, you say

2478
02:06:39,520 --> 02:06:42,360
Speaker 1: that this defense has had six interceptions in the last

2479
02:06:42,440 --> 02:06:45,880
Speaker 1: three games. So what's been the message from Adam Gas

2480
02:06:46,000 --> 02:06:49,440
Speaker 1: heading into this game playing against a team that can

2481
02:06:49,520 --> 02:06:52,480
Speaker 1: get you on offense? Now this year with Josh Allen

2482
02:06:52,560 --> 02:06:55,280
Speaker 1: and all of his new weapons. Is there a different

2483
02:06:55,320 --> 02:06:58,520
Speaker 1: approach in the second time they're seeing the Bills to

2484
02:06:58,640 --> 02:07:02,960
Speaker 1: try and stop their offense. Well, he definitely said that

2485
02:07:03,200 --> 02:07:07,560
Speaker 1: one thing the Bills have are explosive players. We talked

2486
02:07:07,600 --> 02:07:10,120
Speaker 1: about it the first time you and I met in

2487
02:07:10,280 --> 02:07:13,400
Speaker 1: Week one, wide receiver Stephan Diggs, who has just had

2488
02:07:13,520 --> 02:07:16,440
Speaker 1: an absolutely amazing season so for and he played well

2489
02:07:16,440 --> 02:07:19,080
Speaker 1: against the Jets in Week one. So Adam Gays has

2490
02:07:19,080 --> 02:07:22,200
Speaker 1: talked about how the Bills do have explosive players. He

2491
02:07:22,320 --> 02:07:25,600
Speaker 1: also talked about wide receiver Josh Allen, who not only

2492
02:07:26,800 --> 02:07:29,760
Speaker 1: is so efficient in the passing game, but also with

2493
02:07:30,000 --> 02:07:33,480
Speaker 1: his legs. So that's one thing that Adam Gays has

2494
02:07:33,560 --> 02:07:36,440
Speaker 1: noted multiple times about how talented of a player he

2495
02:07:36,600 --> 02:07:39,360
Speaker 1: is and how honestly, I think that the defense is

2496
02:07:39,400 --> 02:07:41,440
Speaker 1: really going to need to be more aware of that

2497
02:07:41,680 --> 02:07:44,680
Speaker 1: this second time around. The first time that the Jets

2498
02:07:44,720 --> 02:07:47,840
Speaker 1: and Bills faced off earlier this season, Josh Allen was

2499
02:07:47,920 --> 02:07:51,320
Speaker 1: able to get the Jets with his legs, So I

2500
02:07:51,360 --> 02:07:53,360
Speaker 1: think that's going to be a big key in stopping

2501
02:07:53,400 --> 02:07:56,720
Speaker 1: them in Week seven. However, the offense is also going

2502
02:07:56,760 --> 02:07:58,360
Speaker 1: to have to do their part you know, the defense

2503
02:07:58,400 --> 02:08:00,400
Speaker 1: has been getting the takeaway, so the often is going

2504
02:08:00,480 --> 02:08:02,960
Speaker 1: to have to capitalize on that. And Adam Gas has

2505
02:08:03,040 --> 02:08:05,960
Speaker 1: noted that. Like I said, he talked about it after

2506
02:08:06,160 --> 02:08:08,680
Speaker 1: postgame a couple of weeks ago when he said, the

2507
02:08:08,800 --> 02:08:11,120
Speaker 1: team just isn't doing a lot right right now, so

2508
02:08:11,120 --> 02:08:13,040
Speaker 1: they're trying to fix that and turn that around. For

2509
02:08:13,160 --> 02:08:16,640
Speaker 1: Week seven, Yeah, it'll be an interesting matchup, both teams

2510
02:08:17,040 --> 02:08:20,000
Speaker 1: coming off losses searching for a win. The Bill's losing

2511
02:08:20,040 --> 02:08:23,240
Speaker 1: the last two, the Jets still searching for that first win.

2512
02:08:23,440 --> 02:08:26,080
Speaker 1: So it's a home game for you guys. We'll be

2513
02:08:26,240 --> 02:08:29,320
Speaker 1: traveling on the road for this week seven matchup. An

2514
02:08:29,400 --> 02:08:32,640
Speaker 1: important division game, of course, because these games do matter

2515
02:08:32,840 --> 02:08:35,640
Speaker 1: later in the season when you're looking at rankings in

2516
02:08:35,720 --> 02:08:37,600
Speaker 1: the AFC East and who's going to make it to

2517
02:08:37,680 --> 02:08:40,440
Speaker 1: the playoffs. Olivia, thank you so much for the time.

2518
02:08:40,800 --> 02:08:45,360
Speaker 1: We do appreciate it. Thank you so much. Maddie. All right,

2519
02:08:45,400 --> 02:08:48,200
Speaker 1: that's Maddie glab with Olivia Landis the Jets beat Reporter

2520
02:08:48,320 --> 02:08:50,040
Speaker 1: Steve and I have to take a break, but when

2521
02:08:50,120 --> 02:08:53,240
Speaker 1: we return, it's time for what have we learned from

2522
02:08:53,280 --> 02:08:55,400
Speaker 1: today's show That's coming your way When we return, here

2523
02:08:55,400 --> 02:08:57,880
Speaker 1: on One Bill's Live, presented by Kalida Health. This is

2524
02:08:57,920 --> 02:09:15,840
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill's Radio for What have we learned? Brought to

2525
02:09:15,920 --> 02:09:20,560
Speaker 1: you by Skyworks, the official construction equipment rental company of

2526
02:09:20,680 --> 02:09:24,800
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. Well, I mean we learned a couple

2527
02:09:24,840 --> 02:09:27,800
Speaker 1: of things about where the fans stand. They're not gonna

2528
02:09:27,800 --> 02:09:29,680
Speaker 1: be all that impressed with a win over the Jets,

2529
02:09:29,760 --> 02:09:32,720
Speaker 1: and I think we totally get why, and a lot

2530
02:09:32,760 --> 02:09:34,960
Speaker 1: of them have the same feeling about what is going

2531
02:09:35,080 --> 02:09:38,000
Speaker 1: to maybe put their minds more at ease that this

2532
02:09:38,160 --> 02:09:41,520
Speaker 1: team truly has reached next level, you know, not a

2533
02:09:41,600 --> 02:09:44,320
Speaker 1: team that just gets to the playoffs and gets knocked

2534
02:09:44,360 --> 02:09:47,080
Speaker 1: out in the first round. For them to truly believe

2535
02:09:47,120 --> 02:09:49,280
Speaker 1: they can be something more than that. They are looking

2536
02:09:49,680 --> 02:09:54,160
Speaker 1: for equality victory over equality opponent. And it'll be interesting

2537
02:09:54,200 --> 02:09:56,840
Speaker 1: to see whether they feel like if the Jet, if

2538
02:09:56,840 --> 02:09:59,040
Speaker 1: the Bills can beat the Jets, Okay, they won't think

2539
02:09:59,080 --> 02:10:01,880
Speaker 1: that is if they think the Patriots or quality. When

2540
02:10:01,960 --> 02:10:03,640
Speaker 1: I know some of them today the calls said they

2541
02:10:03,680 --> 02:10:05,920
Speaker 1: don't think so, yea not. The Patriots are two and four,

2542
02:10:06,040 --> 02:10:07,360
Speaker 1: the Bills are four and two. I don't know, they

2543
02:10:07,360 --> 02:10:09,200
Speaker 1: don't know that they're not believers in the Patriots. What

2544
02:10:09,240 --> 02:10:11,200
Speaker 1: about the Seahawks Cardinals. I gotta think if the Bills

2545
02:10:11,240 --> 02:10:13,240
Speaker 1: can roll in and beat the Seahawks, people to think, yeah,

2546
02:10:13,240 --> 02:10:15,200
Speaker 1: that's a pretty good football team, even though they're playing

2547
02:10:15,240 --> 02:10:18,560
Speaker 1: them in Buffalo. Yeah, and they've got Arizona who's looking

2548
02:10:18,640 --> 02:10:20,760
Speaker 1: like more and more like a quality team. That's the

2549
02:10:20,880 --> 02:10:23,920
Speaker 1: that's the Juris Convention, Niners. On Monday night, we'll see

2550
02:10:23,960 --> 02:10:27,560
Speaker 1: you beat a really good team. And after getting you know,

2551
02:10:27,800 --> 02:10:29,840
Speaker 1: getting your heads handed to you by the Titans and

2552
02:10:29,880 --> 02:10:32,440
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, we want to see you beat the upperretional

2553
02:10:32,440 --> 02:10:34,200
Speaker 1: on teams in the conference. We have time for one

2554
02:10:34,320 --> 02:10:37,880
Speaker 1: last call, Rolando in Buffalo, Rolando, what do you have

2558
02:10:50,520 --> 02:10:55,800
Speaker 1: luckiest Buffalo Bills fan because I'm a professional actor that

2559
02:10:55,920 --> 02:10:58,640
Speaker 1: I did one of the commercials with dear Steves there

2560
02:10:58,920 --> 02:11:01,760
Speaker 1: who turn and I tell you something hits a really

2561
02:11:01,800 --> 02:11:10,120
Speaker 1: good actor. Wow. Am I am the luckiest Buffalo Fields

2562
02:11:10,160 --> 02:11:14,080
Speaker 1: band because I actually I grew up in Puerto Rico

2563
02:11:14,200 --> 02:11:17,320
Speaker 1: and there was no American football there. But I lived

2564
02:11:17,400 --> 02:11:21,480
Speaker 1: in New York City for ten years. I never ever

2565
02:11:22,320 --> 02:11:25,760
Speaker 1: got into football through the Jets or the Giants. Nothing

2566
02:11:25,960 --> 02:11:28,800
Speaker 1: is until I get married. I moved to Buffalo that

2567
02:11:28,920 --> 02:11:32,800
Speaker 1: I love this game and I am so blessed to

2568
02:11:32,880 --> 02:11:34,920
Speaker 1: be here. And I'm telling you I am happy with

2569
02:11:35,040 --> 02:11:38,640
Speaker 1: the team right now. I think they're moving forward to

2570
02:11:39,080 --> 02:11:43,000
Speaker 1: two weird laws because of all of the other issues.

2571
02:11:43,080 --> 02:11:47,080
Speaker 1: Like Steve mentioned, emotionally, I was very upset with the

2572
02:11:48,200 --> 02:11:53,520
Speaker 1: the national media just saying to the Titans, oh, how

2573
02:11:53,560 --> 02:11:56,560
Speaker 1: wonderful you are, and never mentioned once the stuff that

2574
02:11:56,640 --> 02:11:59,040
Speaker 1: the Buffalo this leader to go through to adapt to

2575
02:11:59,120 --> 02:12:02,320
Speaker 1: this situation. So I'm very happy with the team. And

2576
02:12:02,680 --> 02:12:06,480
Speaker 1: um and by the way, I'll ask people to vote

2577
02:12:06,560 --> 02:12:11,040
Speaker 1: for Diggs and our quarterback for the next game. We

2578
02:12:11,160 --> 02:12:13,880
Speaker 1: are going to win, all right, Thank thank you for

2579
02:12:13,920 --> 02:12:16,000
Speaker 1: the call. And I I married a Buffalo girl too,

2580
02:12:16,040 --> 02:12:19,240
Speaker 1: so I know where you're coming from. Um, yeah, uh

2581
02:12:20,160 --> 02:12:25,400
Speaker 1: you know Alan and Diggs. Sure, and talk about all

2582
02:12:25,440 --> 02:12:28,120
Speaker 1: the lawn signs were singing around town, right those election

2583
02:12:28,200 --> 02:12:31,480
Speaker 1: signs with Alan Diggs and twenty he's a he's a believer.

2584
02:12:31,680 --> 02:12:33,440
Speaker 1: And I don't know how you couldn't be. Diggs is

2585
02:12:33,640 --> 02:12:36,640
Speaker 1: leading the AFC and receptions and receiving yards, right, I

2586
02:12:36,720 --> 02:12:40,600
Speaker 1: mean he's exceeded expectations of anything. Um. Yeah, this guy

2587
02:12:40,680 --> 02:12:44,080
Speaker 1: has been has advertised and advertised. Man he is. He

2588
02:12:44,240 --> 02:12:46,600
Speaker 1: has been the elixir of this offense and needed. Josh

2589
02:12:46,680 --> 02:12:50,280
Speaker 1: Allen has improved greatly obviously as well. But then, um,

2590
02:12:50,840 --> 02:12:54,760
Speaker 1: to see all this come together, um you really, I

2591
02:12:54,840 --> 02:12:57,360
Speaker 1: know it's a tough season, It's a long season. I

2592
02:12:57,480 --> 02:12:59,520
Speaker 1: really want to see him get really healthy and play

2593
02:12:59,520 --> 02:13:02,200
Speaker 1: a few game ames, not only with John Brown healthy

2594
02:13:03,160 --> 02:13:06,800
Speaker 1: and Zach Moss healthy, but also Dawson Knox healthy. And

2595
02:13:07,120 --> 02:13:09,280
Speaker 1: I'd love to see him get John Feliciano on the

2596
02:13:09,320 --> 02:13:11,400
Speaker 1: field if they could do that. You know, this is

2597
02:13:11,400 --> 02:13:13,720
Speaker 1: a team that has not played its best football. Even

2598
02:13:13,760 --> 02:13:15,280
Speaker 1: when it was four and oh, it hadn't played his

2599
02:13:15,400 --> 02:13:18,600
Speaker 1: best football. And I want to see that happen. And

2600
02:13:18,760 --> 02:13:20,400
Speaker 1: I think a lot of Bills fans are waiting on

2601
02:13:20,520 --> 02:13:22,760
Speaker 1: that to happen. I agree with him. I'm waiting for

2602
02:13:22,760 --> 02:13:24,440
Speaker 1: a quality win as well. I don't think the Jets

2603
02:13:24,520 --> 02:13:28,720
Speaker 1: can provide that, but I do know this. You need

2604
02:13:28,760 --> 02:13:31,920
Speaker 1: to beat this team, You really really need to beat

2605
02:13:31,960 --> 02:13:35,480
Speaker 1: this team. Yeah, it doesn't mean much except it means more.

2606
02:13:35,960 --> 02:13:38,200
Speaker 1: It's more of a crushing loss than it is a

2607
02:13:38,360 --> 02:13:42,080
Speaker 1: rewarded victory. But you've got to win this game. I

2608
02:13:42,200 --> 02:13:44,680
Speaker 1: think you really got to win this game. We have

2609
02:13:45,600 --> 02:13:50,240
