1
00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:10,840
Speaker 1: At a Steve tester who has been all over the fields.

2
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:12,559
Speaker 1: Kind of unique. He was kind of a dual role

3
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:18,959
Speaker 1: player for you, state Steve a blimp. We're not even

4
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:24,880
Speaker 1: in the strated here of normalcy. It is a Thursday

5
00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:29,600
Speaker 1: edition of one Bill's Live overcast. Guys here in Orchard Park.

6
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:34,960
Speaker 1: The team practicing indoors today. Are they indoors? Yeah? Or

7
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:38,280
Speaker 1: are they outside? They are outside, Susie. It was back

8
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:40,279
Speaker 1: and forth because there was a chance of rain out here.

9
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:43,120
Speaker 1: We're gonna have a hit from Maddie. Yeah, I'd practice,

10
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:45,440
Speaker 1: so now that has to be outside. It is a

11
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:48,239
Speaker 1: jog through practice. The team is only two days removed

12
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:51,559
Speaker 1: from their game Tuesday night walk through. It's a jog through. Well, yeah,

13
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 1: so it's a little bit higher tempo than a walk through. Um, So,

14
00:00:56,600 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 1: getting a gauge on injured players will be difficult, or Maddie,

15
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 1: because even if you have people participating who have been

16
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 1: on the injured list, you're not going to get a

17
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:13,559
Speaker 1: real idea as to what their level of participation would

18
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 1: truly be until that injury report comes out later in

19
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 1: the after. By the way, your shirt looks great, so

20
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 1: does yours. Steve, who have that's our poll today. Who

27
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 1: it's been around showing the background. Scott like the that's

28
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 1: better than me turning around the chair. Um, yeah, it's

29
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 1: kind of cool. So there you go. We're on. That's

30
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 1: basically a series of silhouettes of Josh throwing the ball

Speaker 1: So we thought we'd sport that a little bit. We're not,

47
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 1: you know, out here doing push ups between breaks here,

48
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 1: although you know we could do that if you really

49
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:55,360
Speaker 1: needed us to. We should begin before we get to

50
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 1: practice situation injured players with Maddie a little bit later

51
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:05,079
Speaker 1: this hour. With the news that came down probably about

52
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 1: two hours ago, a now hour and a half ago.

53
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:12,080
Speaker 1: It's the reports from the National NFL reporters are that

54
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 1: Levion Bell, who was cut by the Jets on Tuesday

55
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,640
Speaker 1: in a news dump during a football game and became

56
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:21,360
Speaker 1: a total free agent at four o'clock yesterday right because

57
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 1: he went unclaimed, is down to three teams that he

58
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 1: is interested in playing four if those teams will have him,

59
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 1: those are the Dolphins, the Chiefs, and the Bills. Now,

60
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 1: no matter who he signs with this week, he will

61
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 1: not be playing this week because of the COVID testing

62
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 1: onboarding that needs to happen over the course of five days.

63
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 1: So he would not be eligible to play Monday night

64
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 1: if he signed with the Chiefs or the Bills or

65
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 1: Sunday for the Dolphins. So all of that being said,

66
00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 1: coach McDermott was asked about the team's interest in Levion

67
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 1: Bell and he essentially confirmed it. The full comment from

68
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 1: coach was as follows quote because he was basically, we

69
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 1: have it. Okay, well let's let's react that beautiful footage

70
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 1: and roll it now. Yeah. You know, Brandon and I

71
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 1: always you know how we do it. We always look

72
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 1: into every situation, this being one of them. So trying

73
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 1: to improve our football team. So as much as I

74
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:35,280
Speaker 1: can tell you right now, so short and sweet, but

75
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:40,040
Speaker 1: he basically confirmed there is interest, and okay, I mean

76
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:43,720
Speaker 1: he did. Does it make you That was as short

77
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 1: answers you'll ever get out of him, and he was like,

78
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,040
Speaker 1: so that was more than we usually get though with

79
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 1: some of those reported things that are out there in

80
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 1: the NFL ether. My point is this, does that make

81
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 1: you more excited that he that short answer make you like,

82
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:02,039
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, she's trying to hi something or you

83
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 1: know what I mean. Does it make you more excited

84
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:06,919
Speaker 1: or more positive that Levion Bell is going to be

85
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,159
Speaker 1: here or less? Or do you think or is he

86
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:13,480
Speaker 1: playing it down because he doesn't think it's going to happen? Yeah?

87
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:17,040
Speaker 1: I know. I just think this is typical coach. Coach

88
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 1: doesn't like to blow anything out of proportion, especially if

89
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 1: nothing is finalized. And I can't imagine that it would

90
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 1: be with two other teams in play, right, So I

91
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 1: think coach is just playing it close to the vest.

92
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 1: That's because that's what you do in an uncertain situation

93
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 1: like this. But I thought it was commendable of him

94
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 1: to at least confirm for the media that the reports

95
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:39,360
Speaker 1: out there are accurate. There is interest on the part

96
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 1: of the Bills in Levion Bell. And he went on

97
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 1: shortly after that to talk about the running game, which

98
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:52,040
Speaker 1: he feels needs to get better. He feels that it

99
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 1: has to improve. It's he wants to be more balanced

100
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 1: as an offense. He feels that they're a little too relying.

101
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 1: It's on the passing game, and he believed and that's

102
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:08,479
Speaker 1: a philosophical that is a base philosophical belief for him.

103
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:14,279
Speaker 1: He believes balanced football wins because there are because and

104
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:18,480
Speaker 1: he knows because from a defensive perspective, which he has,

105
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 1: he knows that defenses in this league are good enough

106
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 1: to sometimes take away what you do best. So if

107
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 1: you've got nothing else in the back pocket, you're a trouble.

108
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:36,159
Speaker 1: So he believes in balance because if they if you

109
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 1: have an opponent that's good enough to take something that

110
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 1: you do well away, you better have something else that

111
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 1: you can do. Also, and I think he does not

112
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 1: want to be a one dimensional offense. Yeah, I think

113
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 1: so too, And it's it's played itself out even on

114
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 1: a larger scale too. He would bring this, know, this

115
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:54,479
Speaker 1: defensive coach in from from Carolina and he starts about

116
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 1: and he does it the right way. They don't have really,

117
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 1: they don't have a franchise quarterback. They have Tyrod Taylor,

118
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 1: who's a veteran, pretty deady guy, but he's not a

119
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:03,720
Speaker 1: thrower like you know these guys are, you know, all

120
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 1: over the league now. So they come in build a

121
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:08,040
Speaker 1: defense first, because he knows how to do that, and

122
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 1: they've got some pieces in place. They start there, they

123
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 1: get a couple, they get a running back, then they

124
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 1: get they get this quarterback. He kind of suffers through

125
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 1: a year without an old line. They fixed the old line,

126
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 1: so he built this defense first. But the fact that

127
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 1: the thing about that gets me about Sean McDermott is

128
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 1: this now. I mean, he threw a lot of assets

129
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 1: at the offense and has over the last two years.

130
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 1: He's not afraid to win with offense. You get so

131
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 1: many of these defensive guys and this they're always gonna be.

132
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 1: Their team's always gonna look the same. It's gonna be

133
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 1: defense first. But if you get a chance to get

134
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 1: your team better on either side of the ball and

135
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 1: win like that, some defensive coach, even some offensive coaches,

136
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 1: they never have one of those teams that well, they

137
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 1: had a chance to get all these great defenders and

138
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 1: they just didn't want them, you know what I'm saying.

139
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 1: So I think it's it speaks to him that he's

140
00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 1: willing to win in a lot of different ways, every way.

141
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 1: You can even build his roster in a way that

142
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 1: is not in line with his expertise as a coordinator.

143
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 1: I think it says a lot about his mindset and

144
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 1: about his willingness to do it in some other ways,

145
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Because this is a this

146
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 1: is a team that's built completely different than it was

147
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 1: three years ago. And they made it to the playoffs

148
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 1: three years ago too, and you know in eighteen, so

149
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:29,679
Speaker 1: I seventeen in seventeen, So yeah, I just I tipped

150
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:33,320
Speaker 1: my hat to him. You know, this Levion Bell thing,

151
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,679
Speaker 1: maybe it'll be the same thing as the Antonio Brown thing.

152
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 1: Maybe Leve Bell really isn't interested in coming to Buffalo,

153
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 1: or maybe you know, like Antonio Brown and Khalil Mack

154
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 1: and that trade and all the other stuff we've heard

155
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:46,559
Speaker 1: over the years, good and bad about what Buffalo is

156
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 1: like and how likely it was in the aftermath that

157
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:52,559
Speaker 1: it would happen. But I think the fact we know

158
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 1: Brandon Being and Sean McDermott, they're gonna say, what about it?

159
00:08:56,520 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 1: What do you suspect Levy and Bell is most interested

160
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 1: in at this point in his career in terms of

161
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:05,560
Speaker 1: what he's looking for in a team. If you think

162
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 1: he's more interested in money, opportunity or a chance to

163
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 1: win a Super Bowl, what do you think of those

164
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 1: three things is at the top of his list right now?

165
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:19,440
Speaker 1: In light of how things went so poorly with the Jets,

166
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:22,040
Speaker 1: where his yards per carry average was a full yard

167
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 1: under what his career yards per carry average was. He's

168
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 1: guaranteed five point five this year. He's already sat out

169
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 1: a year that he you know, during the dispute with Pittsburgh. Correct,

170
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 1: If he wants an opportunity, you gotta look and say, well,

171
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 1: that would leave the Chiefs off to the side. Correct,

172
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:46,960
Speaker 1: And depending on how you view Devin Singletary and Zach

173
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:53,080
Speaker 1: Moss here in Buffalo, but Miami rebuilding, that may be

174
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 1: the top of the list opportunity wise to carry the

175
00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 1: load a team like Miami. Money I think is off

176
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 1: the table. I think whatever he signs, he's going to

177
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 1: get the deal that he wants, or at least a

178
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 1: deal that he's happy with, because he's making he's guaranteed

179
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 1: money this year anyway, and he's probably only signing a

180
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:13,199
Speaker 1: deal for the rest of this season to get back

181
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 1: in the market next season championship. So with that in mind, now, yeah,

182
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 1: if he would think he wants an opportunity so he

183
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:21,719
Speaker 1: can show he still has it, right, an opportunity to

184
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:23,200
Speaker 1: show he still has a plus being on a team

185
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 1: that goes to the playoffs and gives him a chance

186
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:27,600
Speaker 1: to play well in a big game. Right, So that

187
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 1: would put the Chiefs, then the Bills, then Miami behind.

188
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 1: And I think a lot of this comes down to

189
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 1: when you sit down at a table with the guy

190
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:41,840
Speaker 1: in his representation and you look in the eye and say,

191
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 1: what's he want to hear from the coach, Because let's

192
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 1: face it, he's signed a deal for money with New York.

193
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:50,560
Speaker 1: His coach had said it's too much money, we don't

194
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:54,560
Speaker 1: want him for that, and he signed anyway. I don't

195
00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:56,559
Speaker 1: know if I think that might be a lesson learned

196
00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:59,080
Speaker 1: for him. You got you gotta sit down not only

197
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 1: with McDermott, but with Dable. Yep, you know, Um, I

198
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 1: think it'll be what in Andy Reid? I don't you

199
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 1: know he gonna he gonna take over for Clyde Edwards Hilaire,

200
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:12,959
Speaker 1: I don't think. So He's not gonna get much of

201
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 1: an opportunity there, No, and and Clyde Edwards Hilaire can

202
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:17,719
Speaker 1: do everything that he can do. I mean, he is

203
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 1: a fantastic receiver out of the backfield. CEH is really good,

204
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 1: and I get it. I think you think he goes

205
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:26,600
Speaker 1: there to be a depth piece. I don't think there's

206
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 1: any way. M right, Yeah, I don't know. I don't

207
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:34,720
Speaker 1: think they're taking Clyde Edwards Hlaire off the field. I

208
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:36,760
Speaker 1: don't think they are not at this point. I think

209
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 1: it's a bigger I think it's more likely that the

210
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 1: Bills would use him more here than the Chiefs would

211
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:46,200
Speaker 1: use him there. Now, what about I think people have

212
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 1: very quickly forgotten though. Steve. This guy, I mean, say

213
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:54,560
Speaker 1: what you will about him as a running back. This

214
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:58,680
Speaker 1: guy has caught seventy five passes or more into season

215
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:02,720
Speaker 1: three times his career. He caught eighty three balls in

216
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 1: twenty fourteen, seventy five passes in twenty sixteen, eighty five

217
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:14,200
Speaker 1: receptions in twenty eighteen. I mean, when you think about

218
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 1: how this offense spreads the field, you just make him

219
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 1: a fourth or a fifth receiver. You could do it. Yeah,

220
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:24,400
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm talking about short underneath stuff. I'm not

221
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:27,080
Speaker 1: saying full time saying he's a running back first and

222
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:28,840
Speaker 1: exactly what you're saying. But I don't know that he

223
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:30,839
Speaker 1: caught all those balls. He was with Pittsburgh when he

224
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:33,520
Speaker 1: did it. And Ben Relisberger, I mean, got Ben Roethlisberger's

225
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 1: dumping it. I don't know that he was out split

226
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 1: out running routes. I'm sure he can, but I don't

227
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:41,560
Speaker 1: know that that's his forte. I think it's his forte

228
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:43,719
Speaker 1: is being available to a quarterback who's not going to

229
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 1: run anywhere. You want to talk about an opportunity for

230
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:50,280
Speaker 1: him to show he can still play running back. I

231
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 1: think the best of the three options is Miami well

232
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:55,720
Speaker 1: because he'll get the most. He could step on the

233
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 1: field for them and be their number one guy next week,

234
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 1: next week. Uh. Here in Buffalo, he would have to

235
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 1: earn his way onto the field and get ahead of

236
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 1: not only Devin Singletary, but probably Zach Moss if he

237
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:12,200
Speaker 1: comes back healthy. Yeah so, but maybe we don't know

238
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:14,480
Speaker 1: enough about the Zach Moss injury. Now he was not

239
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 1: put on IR, but he's missed three games, right, so

240
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 1: where is that headed? We don't know, and you know,

241
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 1: hopefully madd he can give us an idea. I mean,

242
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,440
Speaker 1: Coach McDermott essentially said Dawson Knox is the only person

243
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:33,199
Speaker 1: that's not going to be out there with his what

244
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:38,440
Speaker 1: did he have a calf injury? Uh No, I don't remember,

245
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 1: but we'll look it up. You remember what it was

246
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 1: from um. In any event, he's the only one that

247
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 1: coach specifically mentioned as not practicing. Now it is a

248
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:50,680
Speaker 1: jog through practice. But if everyone's back, including Zach Moss,

249
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:54,440
Speaker 1: well then you know, maybe the conversation does change there.

250
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:59,280
Speaker 1: And knowing how Brandon Bean and the personnel department typically works, Steve,

251
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:03,440
Speaker 1: I think we can say this the Bills are not

252
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:06,360
Speaker 1: the kind of team that is going to get into

253
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:09,120
Speaker 1: a bidding war for a player's services. That's just not

254
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:13,960
Speaker 1: how they operate. They establish a value on what they

255
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:18,079
Speaker 1: feel the player is worth, and they stick to that value.

256
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 1: They rarely move off it, if ever. And the perfect

257
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 1: example would be the two guys that left in free

258
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 1: agency this last year. Would they have liked to have

259
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 1: Jordan Phillips back this year? Absolutely right, But they had

260
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 1: a set value on what they felt was a fiscally

261
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:38,080
Speaker 1: responsible value that didn't insult Jordan Phillips but at the

262
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:41,720
Speaker 1: same time was good for the team. And I think

263
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 1: they knew in their heart of hearts, with thirty one

264
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 1: other teams in play, that what they offered probably wasn't

265
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 1: going to get the job done. But they didn't move

266
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:54,440
Speaker 1: off of that number, because they know if they did,

267
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:56,760
Speaker 1: they're going to get themselves right back into the salary

268
00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 1: cap jail that Brandon Being worked so hard to get

269
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 1: them out of from previous bad contracts from previous regimes.

270
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 1: And I think one of the reasons as well is

271
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 1: they don't forget that while they love and respect Jordan

272
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:11,320
Speaker 1: Phillips and guys like him and that in that spot

273
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 1: or in that situation, there are thirty one other teams

274
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:17,680
Speaker 1: that are saying the same thing to other really good

275
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 1: guys who you you who will be able to earn

276
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:23,000
Speaker 1: your love and respect as well, and they'll come cheaper.

277
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:28,160
Speaker 1: That's what you gotta remember. They have a lot of

278
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 1: faith in the way they evaluate the guys coming off

279
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 1: the free agent market. They've had some really good success

280
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 1: with that and got and you know, they're getting to

281
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:39,120
Speaker 1: the playoffs every other year here, so they know what

282
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 1: they're doing that way. So they'd never get caught up

283
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:44,600
Speaker 1: in the fact that there's only one guy for that spot, right,

284
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 1: And that's that's something I think fans get caught up

285
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:49,240
Speaker 1: in some Gosh, what are we gonna do? We don't

286
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 1: have Jordan Phillips, so what are we gonna do you know, well,

287
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 1: you got Quentin Jefferson, you got Mario Addison, you got

288
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 1: Vernon Butler. There's some guys out there that are quality

289
00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 1: pro players that are gonna come along and they're gonna

290
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:02,560
Speaker 1: you know, they're gonna help, they're gonna be you know,

291
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 1: you're gonna like them too. So that's what this regime

292
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 1: and GM and staff has gotten. There's gonna be other options,

293
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:15,160
Speaker 1: and they're gonna be fiscally more fiscally responsible. So on

294
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 1: the show today, we will have Maddie and about oh,

295
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:20,800
Speaker 1: I don't know about ten minutes time with an update

296
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:23,960
Speaker 1: from the practice field where she'll give us a lowdown

297
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:27,080
Speaker 1: on what's going on out there. And then in the

298
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:30,440
Speaker 1: one o'clock hour, I think we're gonna be turning to

299
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:34,240
Speaker 1: some comments made by coach Frasier yesterday, who was outstanding

300
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 1: and spelling out what has been ailing this Bill's defense

301
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 1: from a performance perspective. Thought he was very self effacing

302
00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:46,240
Speaker 1: and kind of shed some light on their plans going

303
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:49,000
Speaker 1: forward to try to rectify some of these things. So

304
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:51,480
Speaker 1: we'll play some of those comments in the one o'clock hour,

305
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 1: and Steve and I will obviously offer our two cents

306
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,600
Speaker 1: as well. And then at two o'clock we've got a

307
00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 1: Chief speed reporter, Pete Sweeney joining us to kind of

308
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:02,720
Speaker 1: give us the what's what on the Chiefs and where

309
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:06,240
Speaker 1: they stand. You know, coming off the Monday night game

310
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:08,159
Speaker 1: where they were playing the Patriots and there was a

311
00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:11,919
Speaker 1: positive COVID with Stefan Gilmore and how they responded to that,

312
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:13,600
Speaker 1: and then they had to play the Raiders took their

313
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:15,879
Speaker 1: first loss of the season, much like the Bills. So

314
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:18,159
Speaker 1: you have two four and one teams coming off of

315
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:23,280
Speaker 1: a loss, and it's a Monday night game, so to speak,

316
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:27,280
Speaker 1: five pm kickoff, so we'll get we'll get the what's

317
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:29,879
Speaker 1: what from Pete Sweeney on the Chiefs and where they stand.

318
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:33,040
Speaker 1: We know Sammy Watkins pulled his hamstring in that game

319
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:35,240
Speaker 1: last week. It doesn't look like he's going to be available,

320
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:37,320
Speaker 1: but we'll get an update on that in the two

321
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 1: o'clock hour. Also, our Twitter poll today, what's the biggest

322
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:46,399
Speaker 1: need for the Bills in their game with the Chiefs.

323
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:50,199
Speaker 1: Here are your choices. More pressure on Mahomes, return of

324
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:54,920
Speaker 1: injured players, or the offense bounces back, or maybe something else.

325
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:56,679
Speaker 1: So hit us up on the tweet sheet. At one

326
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 1: Bills Live. The early returns have the return of injured

327
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,640
Speaker 1: players topping the list with fifty five percent of the vote.

328
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:05,520
Speaker 1: That doesn't surprise me all that much. We'll see where

329
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:08,320
Speaker 1: that moves as the show goes along. So hit us

330
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:09,919
Speaker 1: up with your comments on the tweet sheet or give

331
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:12,120
Speaker 1: us a call. Eight oh three h five fifty one

332
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:17,280
Speaker 1: eight fifty two five fifty What do you what would

333
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:19,399
Speaker 1: you prefer to see, Steve in terms of that Chiefs

334
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:22,879
Speaker 1: game Monday night? Ah, what do they need the most

335
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:25,480
Speaker 1: think to have a shot against this Chiefs team. I

336
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:28,320
Speaker 1: think you need your offense to show up big. I

337
00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:30,679
Speaker 1: think we've seen teams try to get on top of

338
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:34,199
Speaker 1: this team defenseman. Some have some pretty good success. I

339
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 1: don't rarely for a whole whole game exactly. I think

340
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:41,960
Speaker 1: you got to take the tack. What of the Raiders

341
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:47,720
Speaker 1: go at them all the time every single series, Take

342
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:50,119
Speaker 1: a big swing at the fence, stay on the field,

343
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:53,160
Speaker 1: take a shot down the field, stretch that team and

344
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:56,040
Speaker 1: keep the pressure on and hopefully once in a while

345
00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:59,200
Speaker 1: your defense can tip a pass and get a pass.

346
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:01,520
Speaker 1: Defense get them into a third and long where they

347
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 1: you know, we can't find anybody whatever. Just get it.

348
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:08,320
Speaker 1: Just get more possessions than the Chiefs do and score

349
00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:11,239
Speaker 1: on enough of them to win, you know, try and

350
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:13,720
Speaker 1: get even if they get a nice long run, knock

351
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 1: the ball out something like that, stay after the ball.

352
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 1: I think that's the way the defenses in the NFL

353
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:21,879
Speaker 1: are playing now. It's not about getting twenty sacks or

354
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 1: pressing the passers chasing them all over the place. It's

355
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:27,400
Speaker 1: about getting turnovers and getting a stop on a third

356
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:30,439
Speaker 1: down some way, shape or form in any way you can.

357
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:33,960
Speaker 1: A dropped pass even counts. So I think that's how

358
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 1: you attack this team. And I think your offense needs

359
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:40,080
Speaker 1: to show up big time and be solid, mistake free

360
00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:43,080
Speaker 1: and score. That's it, I mean, that's I think you

361
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:45,560
Speaker 1: have to play the Chiefs like that. Getting the injured

362
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 1: players back would help a great deal in slowing that

363
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:50,560
Speaker 1: Chiefs offense, and so maybe you don't need quite as

364
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:53,919
Speaker 1: much firepower from your offense if you have Milano tradevious

365
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:57,040
Speaker 1: White back in the lineup. Although their their firm question

366
00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:58,960
Speaker 1: marks right now, but we will take a break to

367
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:01,280
Speaker 1: see if we can get more answers to those questions.

368
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:04,320
Speaker 1: As we have Maddie Glab joining us from the practice sidelines.

369
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:07,040
Speaker 1: When we return here on One Bill's Live, presented by

370
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 1: Kalida Health. This is Buffalo Bill's Radio first ground. She

371
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 1: cast her with you One Bills Live Thursday addition, And

372
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:30,119
Speaker 1: it's a windy day out here in Orchard Park, Steve.

373
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:34,359
Speaker 1: And again, you know, we get concerned when our field

374
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:37,800
Speaker 1: reporter Maddie clab is out there in high wind conditions. Yes,

375
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:41,879
Speaker 1: hopefully her coat is tightly fitting and I'm not loose.

376
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:44,439
Speaker 1: I think we need an ankle bracelet for her. That's

377
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:46,600
Speaker 1: like got a tent steak stuck into the ground, like,

378
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:49,400
Speaker 1: you know, like to keep her from blown away. Hopefully

379
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:55,680
Speaker 1: she's weighted down row a couple of dumbells in her

380
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 1: pants pockets. But we gotta go out to the practice

381
00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:03,440
Speaker 1: field now where Maddie is joining us. And okay, good,

382
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:07,600
Speaker 1: she's anchored down, she's ready to go. Are you okay, Maddie?

383
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:09,359
Speaker 1: First of all, are you okay? We'll get to the

384
00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:12,840
Speaker 1: injured players in a second. So far, so good. I'm

385
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:15,360
Speaker 1: still waiting on that girl expurt and maybe that will

386
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:17,919
Speaker 1: help me out. I was not getting blown away in

387
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 1: the Western Europe win. You know, I come from Chicago

388
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 1: and people call that the windy city, but I am

389
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:29,399
Speaker 1: convinced that Buffalo is the windiest place in the world.

390
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 1: I mean, almost every single day here in the fall,

391
00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:35,320
Speaker 1: there is some sort of wind, especially when he're out

392
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:37,800
Speaker 1: here on the practice field. So I'm okay, it's not

393
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:40,880
Speaker 1: too bad today, just taking in a nice practice. It's

394
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:43,359
Speaker 1: not too cold out here either, So kind of feeling

395
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:45,920
Speaker 1: blessed about that that we're not in a heavy duty

396
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:48,399
Speaker 1: coacht yet. Now I know it's I know it's going

397
00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 1: to be a little bit difficult to really assess who's

398
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:53,840
Speaker 1: doing what today because coach labeled it a jog through

399
00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:56,960
Speaker 1: practice as he's trying to rest some bodies only two

400
00:21:57,040 --> 00:22:00,679
Speaker 1: days removed from the game against the Titans. But he

401
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:04,320
Speaker 1: did say Dawson Knox was not participating with the calf injury,

402
00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:07,639
Speaker 1: but beyond that, he left it open ended. So do

403
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 1: we see just a lot of the injured suspects participating

404
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:15,360
Speaker 1: at least in some capacity here. Yeah, So I'll start

405
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:18,320
Speaker 1: with the guys who were not participating. Like you said,

406
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:22,200
Speaker 1: Dawson Knox was on a bike to start off practice

407
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:25,680
Speaker 1: when they were kind of doing their first initial period

408
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:29,199
Speaker 1: here before they got into stretch. Dawson was on the

409
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:32,679
Speaker 1: bike next to Levi Wallace, who is still on IR

410
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:35,920
Speaker 1: right now. But Dawson left the bike went inside. Levi

411
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:38,760
Speaker 1: is on the sidelines kind of working out, but like

412
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:40,760
Speaker 1: I said, he was still on IR. And this is

413
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:43,879
Speaker 1: really looks like a walk through jog through practice. The

414
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:47,080
Speaker 1: guys are in t shirts and shorts or pants, and

415
00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 1: they also all have masks on because it's not technically

416
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:54,360
Speaker 1: a practice practice. So everybody's mass up going through practice,

417
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:57,159
Speaker 1: walking through right now. But guys who are on a field,

418
00:22:57,280 --> 00:22:59,800
Speaker 1: I do see a John Brown, I do see a

419
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:04,119
Speaker 1: at Milano. Tredavious White is out here. John Feliciano is

420
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:06,800
Speaker 1: out here. So some of those guys who we didn't

421
00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:10,040
Speaker 1: see in the game on I was gonna say Sunday,

422
00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 1: but we didn't say on the game on Tuesday are

423
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:17,480
Speaker 1: practicing or walking through today. Also, Zach Moss is out

424
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:21,320
Speaker 1: here as well. And then Quentin Spain was an earl

425
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:24,520
Speaker 1: a late scratch on Tuesday, Maddie. He was complaining of

426
00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:27,960
Speaker 1: foot sore nows and told the coaches, Hey, I can't

427
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:30,680
Speaker 1: go tonight if you need me. Didn't play in the game.

428
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:35,240
Speaker 1: Is he out there participating? Yeah, Quentin Spain is out

429
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:38,440
Speaker 1: there with his offensive linemen. They are doing a special

430
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:41,680
Speaker 1: teams period currently SISM. The offensive linemen are kinda off

431
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:45,000
Speaker 1: to the side working on some individual things. So, yes,

432
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:48,200
Speaker 1: Quinn is out here and Milano. Does Milano have any

433
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:50,640
Speaker 1: kind of brace on his shoulder or anything like that

434
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:55,359
Speaker 1: as he looked inhibited. I didn't see a brace on

435
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:58,160
Speaker 1: any shoulder. But the white T shirts that the defense

436
00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:00,520
Speaker 1: is wearing are honestly a little big down some of

437
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 1: these guys, so there could be something hidden underneath, but

438
00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:06,919
Speaker 1: nothing too obvious to me. They did stretch on like

439
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:09,640
Speaker 1: the farthest part of the field they could be on,

440
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:12,200
Speaker 1: so it was a little bit tough to see exactly

441
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:15,919
Speaker 1: what some of these guys had on. All Right, Maddie,

442
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:17,960
Speaker 1: I know, uh, this isn't going to be a super

443
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:20,440
Speaker 1: exciting practice for you, but we appreciate you being out

444
00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:22,520
Speaker 1: there and giving us the four one one on everything.

445
00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:26,440
Speaker 1: So we appreciate the update, and uh we'll be looking

446
00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:30,680
Speaker 1: for more of your updates on Twitter at Madclab. Thank you. Yeah,

447
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:33,679
Speaker 1: no problem. I like the Josh Allen shirts that I

448
00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:36,960
Speaker 1: see you guys are sporting today. Yeah, yeah, there, it

449
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:38,919
Speaker 1: looks like very comfortable, looks like We're gonna go do

450
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:41,320
Speaker 1: some push ups in the brain, go wash a car

451
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:43,600
Speaker 1: or something. Looks like you know, it looks like we're

452
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:47,480
Speaker 1: in like boot camp here or something together. Now, you

453
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 1: guys should have a throw off. That's what you should do.

454
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:54,320
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Josh talked about having one. So since you're

455
00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:56,639
Speaker 1: wearing the Josh Allen shirts, you guys have to have

456
00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:59,480
Speaker 1: a throw off today. I would lose that in space,

457
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:02,680
Speaker 1: but thank matic win, but I'd be in a sling

458
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:06,320
Speaker 1: ye a week. I played second base in Little League

459
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:09,840
Speaker 1: baseball for a reason. Ye, throwing it across the diamond

460
00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:13,560
Speaker 1: from third was not happening back in the day. I was, Yes,

461
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:15,640
Speaker 1: I was. I had an arm, but not like yeah,

462
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:18,040
Speaker 1: I'm not like Josh Allen ynthing like that. No, well,

463
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:19,960
Speaker 1: there's probably like ten guys on the planet with that

464
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:24,400
Speaker 1: kind of an arm. I yeah, well, receive A lot

465
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:26,960
Speaker 1: of guys would tell you. Wide receivers usually have pretty

466
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:28,840
Speaker 1: good arms because you play all you do play catch

467
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:31,400
Speaker 1: with each other, right y'all You play a catch constantly.

468
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:34,359
Speaker 1: So the thing that amazes me, though, you watch Major

469
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:38,520
Speaker 1: League Baseball players when they play long toss in the outfield,

470
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:40,400
Speaker 1: you know, in between innings, they're just kind of yeah,

471
00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:43,040
Speaker 1: and you're just sitting there watching it and just looks effortless.

472
00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:46,639
Speaker 1: They're throwing it like a baseball is different than a football,

473
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:48,760
Speaker 1: but they're throwing up baseball like one hundred and fifty

474
00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:51,399
Speaker 1: yards and they're just kind of you know, they're not

475
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:53,760
Speaker 1: like crow hopping it up and it's not one hundred

476
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:58,480
Speaker 1: and fifty yards, it's like seventy five yards. Okay, one

477
00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:02,720
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty yards is four hundred fifty okay, nobody,

478
00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:05,520
Speaker 1: they're they're at the warning track and they gun it

479
00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:08,400
Speaker 1: to the plate. I mean that's three hundreds so yeah, yeah,

480
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:10,239
Speaker 1: I mean, oh, there are guys that can do it,

481
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:14,160
Speaker 1: but they got Have you ever seen you ever seen

482
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:19,080
Speaker 1: some of Bo Jackson? I know exactly what you're talking about.

483
00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:21,240
Speaker 1: You're talking about when he runs into catch the flyball

484
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:24,840
Speaker 1: and left field and the guy on first was halfway

485
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:27,080
Speaker 1: to second, saw the catch in his running and he

486
00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:30,440
Speaker 1: sees the guy off the first guns him out by

487
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:33,640
Speaker 1: three steps. It's one of those things where you see

488
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:35,960
Speaker 1: the guy on first was probably one of the you know,

489
00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:40,520
Speaker 1: overweight DH guys. Right, He's like, let me get over, Okay,

490
00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:43,520
Speaker 1: what if you'll kid you get home. I'm done. Like

491
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:47,240
Speaker 1: he was out by so much he didn't even bother

492
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:50,639
Speaker 1: stepping on first again. That's how far out he was

493
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:54,640
Speaker 1: by the throw, which was a laser. Yeah, a veritable

494
00:26:55,240 --> 00:27:00,280
Speaker 1: a laser. It's fun. I remember when when I was

495
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:04,200
Speaker 1: a Northwestern my dad and I and John Kidd and

496
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:07,760
Speaker 1: another NU football player and it was Mike Gwendling. We

497
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:12,119
Speaker 1: went to the twenty fifth anniversary All Star Game is

498
00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:18,320
Speaker 1: in Komiskey in Chicago, and it was the one Freddie

499
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:23,320
Speaker 1: Lynn hit a Grand Slam, I think, and I think

500
00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:25,240
Speaker 1: I'm sure it was. So the thing I got from

501
00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:28,280
Speaker 1: was it was late seventies, early eighties, earlyer is probably

502
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:33,680
Speaker 1: eighty three something like that. So the thing you want,

503
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:35,879
Speaker 1: you know, we're watching everything right because I'm not a

504
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:38,359
Speaker 1: baseball guy. You know, I grew up in rural America.

505
00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:41,560
Speaker 1: There was the nearest ballpark was like nine hundred miles

506
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:45,320
Speaker 1: literally nine hundred miles away, So we didn't see baseball

507
00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:47,480
Speaker 1: too much live. So you see all the stuff you

508
00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:50,200
Speaker 1: can't see on TV. I mean, everybody's watching commercials. You're

509
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:52,080
Speaker 1: watching these guys warm up in the outfield. It's like

510
00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:54,480
Speaker 1: Dave Winfield is out there there and you know, all right,

511
00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:59,199
Speaker 1: so they all these guys, you know, they kind of

512
00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:00,879
Speaker 1: at some point during the night, they all want to

513
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:07,480
Speaker 1: flex a little bit. Okay, So somebody hits this, you know,

514
00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:11,320
Speaker 1: blue bloop single to right field or something. I think

515
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:15,560
Speaker 1: Dave Winfield's playing right, Freddy Lynn's playing center. Don't round

516
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:18,440
Speaker 1: third on that gay. So they get a bloop and

517
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:20,159
Speaker 1: and he comes out. He catches over by, you know,

518
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:21,879
Speaker 1: in the right field corner a little bit, and it

519
00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:25,479
Speaker 1: was it was nowhere gonna be a double or anything. Um,

520
00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:29,720
Speaker 1: and the guy guy barely even rounded first. But Winfield

521
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:31,520
Speaker 1: just picks up. He's gonna he throws it to second.

522
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:35,119
Speaker 1: That ball, he threw it to second on a line

523
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 1: It was a line up and it was it was

524
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:39,640
Speaker 1: like two and a half feet all it looked like

525
00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:44,320
Speaker 1: it was like barely off the ground. And it never arked. Yeah,

526
00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:47,000
Speaker 1: it was. He had a gun. It was a shot

527
00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 1: from right deep right field to second base. It was

528
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:51,560
Speaker 1: about three feet when he you know, he stride it

529
00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:53,680
Speaker 1: into it and wherever it left his hand, that's how

530
00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:55,840
Speaker 1: high it was when it got to second base. And

531
00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:58,520
Speaker 1: it didn't go up and it didn't go down. And

532
00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:02,920
Speaker 1: so he has that and then you can almost feel it.

533
00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 1: The other guys in the outfield. They started like, let

534
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:10,840
Speaker 1: me get mine. I'm all right. So they all did

535
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:13,080
Speaker 1: it at least once during the game. They all gunned

536
00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:15,920
Speaker 1: one in, you know, and I was like, those guys,

537
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:18,680
Speaker 1: those are arms there, those are Dave Winfield could have

538
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:20,840
Speaker 1: been a three sport athlete in college. He was that

539
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:25,160
Speaker 1: six foot six, you know, two hundred and twenty something pounds,

540
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:29,600
Speaker 1: you know, Hall of Fame baseball player, played basketball at

541
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:33,040
Speaker 1: Minnesota and could have played football. He could have been

542
00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:35,840
Speaker 1: a tight end or something. There's a lot of going

543
00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:38,360
Speaker 1: up again. Yeah, there's a guy. There's an elite group

544
00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:40,680
Speaker 1: of guys. I played with and against a bunch of them,

545
00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:42,840
Speaker 1: a handful now, with a bunch of hump you know,

546
00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:46,960
Speaker 1: a handful. And I've I've told you this, um my

547
00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:50,800
Speaker 1: acid test for how great a guy was, because it's

548
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:53,320
Speaker 1: hard to impress an NFL locker room, and it's hard

549
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:55,480
Speaker 1: to impress a major league locker room. You know, these

550
00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:57,320
Speaker 1: locker rooms where you get guys who have worked their

551
00:29:57,320 --> 00:29:59,960
Speaker 1: whole lives. Right, it's a bunch of type A alpham

552
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:04,360
Speaker 1: mail guys. It's hard to impress those guys with physical stuff. Right.

553
00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:09,760
Speaker 1: So I'm a rookie with the Houston Oilers and it

554
00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:12,719
Speaker 1: was my rookie year was eighty five, and the eighty

555
00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:16,120
Speaker 1: four was the year that Eric Dickerson ran for twenty

556
00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:21,520
Speaker 1: one hundred yards, right. So they played the Oilers the Rams.

557
00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:26,960
Speaker 1: The Oilers played the Rams the day. Eric Dickerson he

558
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:30,040
Speaker 1: needed one hundred and seventy five to get the record

559
00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:31,960
Speaker 1: that and it was like he had week left, you know.

560
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:37,720
Speaker 1: So the guys tell me the story where he takes

561
00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:39,920
Speaker 1: this little kind of a lead draw, steps up in

562
00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:42,360
Speaker 1: and Keith Bostick, who was a Michigan safety who ended

563
00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:44,920
Speaker 1: up playing for the Oilers, was a big dude. He

564
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:51,040
Speaker 1: hit He hit dick Eric Dickerson right in the mouth,

565
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:54,520
Speaker 1: I mean pop. This is the old time eighties football

566
00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:57,520
Speaker 1: wherever they had these huge helm pass pads were huge.

567
00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:00,000
Speaker 1: He hit him pop, and Dickerson he stood him up

568
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:03,120
Speaker 1: up and they then they started talking in low tones.

569
00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:06,600
Speaker 1: Was a small man, like they said three they said,

570
00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:08,280
Speaker 1: he hit him in the mouth, stood him up and

571
00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:11,560
Speaker 1: Dickerson put his hand on the side of Bostick's head,

572
00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:17,360
Speaker 1: pushed him to the ground and sixty five yards down

573
00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:19,120
Speaker 1: the sideline they had to run him out of bounds,

574
00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:22,200
Speaker 1: and he ran out of bounds on the oiler sideline.

575
00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:24,360
Speaker 1: This is you know, this is eighties like rock'em sock

576
00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:27,000
Speaker 1: 'em football. And he's and he looked at he says,

577
00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:37,360
Speaker 1: I'm getting it all today. I love it. It was yeah,

578
00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:41,080
Speaker 1: I'll see a hundred and seventy right, And I don't

579
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:42,680
Speaker 1: I can't even remember the story whether he got it

580
00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:44,000
Speaker 1: that day or not. I think he got a ton

581
00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:45,960
Speaker 1: of he didn't get all of it. I can't remember.

582
00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:47,719
Speaker 1: You can go back and check the check the records.

583
00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:50,600
Speaker 1: But they when they start taught, when the NFL players

584
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:53,240
Speaker 1: start talking about guys on other teams and hushed tones,

585
00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:58,000
Speaker 1: that's a guy who could, who could get it done.

586
00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:00,600
Speaker 1: You know. Both Jackson was one of those guys. Dion

587
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:03,000
Speaker 1: was one of those guys. Eric Dickerson was one of

588
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:05,840
Speaker 1: those guys. I'll tell you this too, But yeah, Bo Jackson.

589

Speaker 1: go crazy. They get silent, a silence, they go there,

601

Speaker 1: By Pat Mahomes who comes in and takes the league

613
00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:33,000
Speaker 1: by storm, it's different. It's like he can throw the bone,

614
00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:35,440
Speaker 1: he's accurate, he's skill. You're talking about a guy who's

615
00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:43,720
Speaker 1: physically scary, yeah, and athletically skilled and gifted. It's a

616
00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:46,520
Speaker 1: rare combination, is deep end of the gene pool? Yes?

617
00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:50,200
Speaker 1: Eight oh three oh five me by digressive five one

618
00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:52,239
Speaker 1: eight eight five We got all day one eight eight

619
00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:55,560
Speaker 1: five fifty two five fifty. As we are asking you

620
00:33:56,640 --> 00:33:59,840
Speaker 1: what you feel is the biggest need for the Bill

621
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:02,880
Speaker 1: in their game with the Chiefs on Monday, more pressure

622
00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:06,760
Speaker 1: on Mahomes, the return of injured players, or the offense

623
00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:10,680
Speaker 1: bouncing back, or maybe it's something else. Eight three, five fifty.

624
00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:12,800
Speaker 1: We'll take your calls there. We are going to go

625
00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:16,160
Speaker 1: to the phones and we will lead off with Anthony

626
00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:19,279
Speaker 1: in Hamburg. Anthony, you're on one Bill's Live. Thanks for

627
00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:21,640
Speaker 1: joining us. What do you have Hey, it's my pleasure

628
00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:23,680
Speaker 1: and you guys. I just wanted to say, first of all,

629
00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:28,160
Speaker 1: I thought the performance by Josh on Tuesday was gutsie.

630
00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:31,520
Speaker 1: I thought that he came out there and he played well,

631
00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:35,120
Speaker 1: but for that you know, early stepback with the interception.

632
00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:37,560
Speaker 1: I really thought that he kept his head with making

633
00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:41,520
Speaker 1: completions across the field, and the team didn't really didn't

634
00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:43,440
Speaker 1: really support him. Yeah, he didn't get a lot of

635
00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:46,040
Speaker 1: help on Tuesday. I don't think there's any question about that.

636
00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:50,160
Speaker 1: We know there were at least four drop passes. Think

637
00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:53,480
Speaker 1: about this. There was a series in the second half

638
00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:58,120
Speaker 1: where his teammates on offense committed three fall start penalties

639
00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:00,200
Speaker 1: in the span of six snaps. And it was three

640
00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:03,960
Speaker 1: different guys, including a receiver and a tight end. I mean,

641
00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:07,320
Speaker 1: false start for a receiver. Come on, watch the ball.

642
00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:10,879
Speaker 1: So and you know, and the defense didn't help him.

643
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:13,560
Speaker 1: They couldn't get off the field. They couldn't get a stop.

644
00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:17,799
Speaker 1: You know, Yes, they were handed some short fields. The

645
00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:20,440
Speaker 1: deck was stacked against the defense from the very beginning.

646
00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:24,360
Speaker 1: But even when they got a stop in the red zone,

647
00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:28,080
Speaker 1: they committed roughing the passer penalty. So you know, all

648
00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:30,959
Speaker 1: the way around, if you want to grade this game out,

649
00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:35,279
Speaker 1: you can make the argument that Josh Allen was one

650
00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:37,760
Speaker 1: of the best players on the field for them on Tuesday.

651
00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:42,120
Speaker 1: He didn't play bad. He was just a shade off

652
00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:45,080
Speaker 1: of what he was the first four weeks. He had

653
00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:47,040
Speaker 1: one play where he threw the interception and it was

654
00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:49,960
Speaker 1: a gotcha defense and they got him and he knew it.

655
00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:53,400
Speaker 1: But you know, the interception he threw was a tip interception.

656
00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:56,120
Speaker 1: It should have been caught, and then he had four

657
00:35:56,200 --> 00:36:00,600
Speaker 1: drops by four different guys. And yeah, I'm totally and

658
00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:02,239
Speaker 1: I'm glad to hear you say that, Anthony. I mean,

659
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:06,120
Speaker 1: I I don't know if you're still there, but you're right.

660
00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:09,200
Speaker 1: There's a lot to be happy about with Josh Allen

661
00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:13,759
Speaker 1: the other night. And it's a game where he did

662
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:16,160
Speaker 1: a lot of good things. There's a clip going around

663
00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:17,960
Speaker 1: of him going down after that game when he got

664
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:19,760
Speaker 1: pulled out of that game, he went down and shook

665
00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:22,319
Speaker 1: hands with everybody on the bench, the whole sidelines, you know,

666
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:25,080
Speaker 1: kind of encourage him saying you know, and you know

667
00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:28,640
Speaker 1: he always points the finger at himself first. So yeah,

668
00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:32,600
Speaker 1: there's a lot to be encouraged about in that game.

669
00:36:33,239 --> 00:36:35,680
Speaker 1: And I know this, and I said this yesterday, and

670
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:38,719
Speaker 1: you know, people kind of took it, kind kind of

671
00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:40,560
Speaker 1: went away with it on got carried away with it

672
00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:43,960
Speaker 1: on Twitter. But it's easier for the team to get

673
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:47,360
Speaker 1: over a loss than it is the fans, and today

674
00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:50,200
Speaker 1: they're not. They went in yesterday and they watched that

675
00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:53,160
Speaker 1: film and they you know, excruciating they had to go

676
00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:56,080
Speaker 1: over where they all did something stupid, all those false

677
00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:58,160
Speaker 1: start penalties. Those guys had to sit through the whole

678
00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:01,680
Speaker 1: team watching that, you know, and the drops. You had

679
00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:03,880
Speaker 1: to go through that and have everybody watching that, and

680
00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:06,200
Speaker 1: you talk about it, and you talk about why this

681
00:37:06,239 --> 00:37:08,640
Speaker 1: play worked and why it didn't, what your mindset was

682
00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:10,319
Speaker 1: when you went into this play, and what we saw

683
00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:12,960
Speaker 1: and what should have happened, what we expected when it

684
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:17,720
Speaker 1: went well, when it went bad, and then that's it. Man.

685
00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:20,960
Speaker 1: Today you show up and it's all about Kansas City

686
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:24,560
Speaker 1: Chiefs and they're onto the next game. Now the fans

687
00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:26,400
Speaker 1: are still sitting here talking about and listening to the

688
00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:29,400
Speaker 1: media pundits and how much shine has worn off the

689
00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:32,360
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills and all that. But for this team, there's

690
00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:34,440
Speaker 1: a lot that they can build on, and there's a

691
00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:38,320
Speaker 1: lot I think that they feel like they can depend

692
00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:41,400
Speaker 1: on despite what happened in Tennessee. They can depend on

693
00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:43,759
Speaker 1: this offense being able to get some things done in

694
00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:48,719
Speaker 1: weekend week out. They can depend on Josh Allen extending

695
00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:51,000
Speaker 1: a play and completing a third down. This team on

696
00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:55,560
Speaker 1: third down is unbelievable. They still are despite what happened

697
00:37:55,560 --> 00:37:59,080
Speaker 1: on the scoreboard. Gene despite what happened on the scoreboard

698
00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:04,799
Speaker 1: on Monday Tuesday night. Man, there they're hard to get

699
00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:06,680
Speaker 1: off the field. Well, I told you the other I

700
00:38:06,719 --> 00:38:09,319
Speaker 1: told you yesterday on yesterday's show. You know, I do

701
00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:12,360
Speaker 1: that Numbers to Know column every day. After the game,

702
00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:15,600
Speaker 1: and I looked at the third down conversion rate. I

703
00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:18,319
Speaker 1: was like, that is really high for a game. I

704
00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:20,520
Speaker 1: said that, like thirteen to seventeen. Are you kidding me?

705
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:23,120
Speaker 1: So I was like, I gotta look this up. It's

706
00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:26,880
Speaker 1: the third highest third down conversion rate in a game

707
00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:30,320
Speaker 1: in Bill's history, and the other two were in the

708
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:35,520
Speaker 1: ninety one season. So I mean that is that is

709
00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:38,960
Speaker 1: elite efficiency on third down, and he's been fantastic on

710
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:41,400
Speaker 1: third down. I think his completion percentage is around seventy

711
00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:44,440
Speaker 1: six percent on third down. I mean that's the money

712
00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:48,280
Speaker 1: down and he's doing that. So I agree with anths.

713
00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:51,920
Speaker 1: I thought that Josh he played well. He wasn't elite.

714
00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:54,400
Speaker 1: I don't think he was quite where he was the

715
00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:56,920
Speaker 1: first week, first four weeks of the season, but he

716
00:38:56,960 --> 00:38:59,480
Speaker 1: wasn't far off. He just got a lot less help. Yeah,

717
00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:01,920
Speaker 1: they're they're a good football team. We know it. You

718
00:39:02,080 --> 00:39:03,799
Speaker 1: when you take a deep breath, you know it. Yeah,

719
00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:07,120
Speaker 1: certainly they got beat by double by twenty five on

720
00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:11,640
Speaker 1: Tuesday night. That's an aberration that is was caused by

721
00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:13,560
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff going on outside the line, in

722
00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:16,080
Speaker 1: my opinion. Outside the line, certainly the Bills didn't play

723
00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:17,840
Speaker 1: that well. But when you turn it over three times

724
00:39:18,440 --> 00:39:20,839
Speaker 1: against a team that was in the AFC Championship game,

725
00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:24,840
Speaker 1: you got pre snap penalties, you got four drops, you

726
00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:27,200
Speaker 1: got all that kind of stuff going on, You're gonna

727
00:39:27,239 --> 00:39:31,879
Speaker 1: look bad. That is not the football team we've come

728
00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:36,279
Speaker 1: to expect from a Sean McDermott coaching job. So yes,

729
00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:40,160
Speaker 1: take We'll take take the lumps, take the l let's go,

730
00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:42,439
Speaker 1: because I'll tell you what, the Chiefs aren't thinking, oh wow,

731
00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:44,479
Speaker 1: they got look what the Titans did to these guys

732
00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:47,520
Speaker 1: were good. They're not thinking that. All right, let's take

733
00:39:47,520 --> 00:39:50,479
Speaker 1: a quick phone call here from Jeff in Buffalo. Jeff,

734
00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:51,919
Speaker 1: what do you have for us? Welcome to the show,

735
00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:55,759
Speaker 1: Hey guys, Hey Steve, Steve. I wanted to bring up

736
00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:59,240
Speaker 1: Corney Elias Bennett. I'll never forgetting on the fixt fiers

737
00:39:59,239 --> 00:40:01,439
Speaker 1: old and I'll forget the first game he played against Denver.

738
00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:03,239
Speaker 1: He chased all the way all over the field like

739
00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:07,000
Speaker 1: like a like a cat on a mouse. It was unbelievable.

740
00:40:07,360 --> 00:40:10,440
Speaker 1: I'm sure you remember that game, Um, and that just

741
00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:12,959
Speaker 1: that just brought me back as far as it needs

742
00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:17,160
Speaker 1: goal for the Bills, I gotta say, Man Knox, Dawson

743
00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:19,920
Speaker 1: k one step forward, two steps back. That guy got

744
00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:22,520
Speaker 1: some unbelievable like I don't know want it. I mean

745
00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:26,120
Speaker 1: that that passed that he I call it a drop

746
00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:28,279
Speaker 1: one right through his hands and he lucky that wasn't

747
00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:31,839
Speaker 1: deflected and intersected by a defender. I just liked your

748
00:40:31,960 --> 00:40:35,759
Speaker 1: your take on this, this tight end position and if

749
00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:40,000
Speaker 1: maybe Croft isn't like the all around him better option

750
00:40:40,160 --> 00:40:42,480
Speaker 1: right now, Well, here's the thing. I think Dawson Knox

751
00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:44,520
Speaker 1: needs to get on the field and stay there. First

752
00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:47,520
Speaker 1: of all, I mean this is his second UM and

753
00:40:47,680 --> 00:40:50,239
Speaker 1: he's back on the field after a concussion. Then he

754
00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:55,879
Speaker 1: didn't finish the game Tuesday night. I think it's hard

755
00:40:55,920 --> 00:40:58,000
Speaker 1: to have him develop and step into this player we

756
00:40:58,040 --> 00:40:59,600
Speaker 1: thought he was going to be in his second year.

757
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:01,680
Speaker 1: If he can't be on the field all the time,

758
00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:04,239
Speaker 1: he can't practice all the time, and he can't you know,

759
00:41:04,640 --> 00:41:06,800
Speaker 1: work on his craft all the time. Because he's always

760
00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:10,640
Speaker 1: healing up. That's I think to that point and to

761
00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:12,960
Speaker 1: this point of the season, that's been the story of

762
00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:16,200
Speaker 1: the first quarter of the season for Dawson Knox. The concussion,

763
00:41:16,239 --> 00:41:19,080
Speaker 1: he got, the game he missed, and the game and

764
00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:22,400
Speaker 1: he couldn't finish this game. So I think if he

765
00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:25,799
Speaker 1: can get on the field and stay there consistently, he'll

766
00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:28,279
Speaker 1: evolve into a place where we all think he's gonna be.

767
00:41:28,560 --> 00:41:31,680
Speaker 1: But until that happens, he's a question He's a question mark.

768
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:34,480
Speaker 1: He is. And I think also, you know, and and

769
00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:36,480
Speaker 1: thanks very much for the college if we appreciate we're

770
00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:41,000
Speaker 1: up against the break here. I think also that his

771
00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:44,640
Speaker 1: game is going to stay inconsistent. As Steve was saying,

772
00:41:45,120 --> 00:41:47,759
Speaker 1: if he can't get the experience on the field, right,

773
00:41:48,080 --> 00:41:50,440
Speaker 1: you know, he misses a game for a concussion, he

774
00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:52,560
Speaker 1: comes back this week and he's dropping a pass and

775
00:41:52,719 --> 00:41:56,319
Speaker 1: drops with a problem for him last year. So you say, well,

776
00:41:56,440 --> 00:41:58,160
Speaker 1: come on, how come he can't fix it? Well, he's

777
00:41:58,160 --> 00:42:00,440
Speaker 1: gotta play. He's got to get experience, he's got to

778
00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:01,759
Speaker 1: be on the field, he's got to be in those

779
00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:05,680
Speaker 1: situations more often. And if injuries are going to continue

780
00:42:05,719 --> 00:42:08,880
Speaker 1: to crop up, I think it's going to compromise his development.

781
00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:12,600
Speaker 1: You're wondering if Croft is the better all around player.

782
00:42:13,120 --> 00:42:16,480
Speaker 1: I think right now he probably is, just by virtue

783
00:42:16,520 --> 00:42:20,200
Speaker 1: of his experience in the league. Now. Croft is another

784
00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:23,239
Speaker 1: guy who I think his growth has been stunted by

785
00:42:23,280 --> 00:42:25,560
Speaker 1: the number of injuries he's had to deal with in

786
00:42:25,640 --> 00:42:27,759
Speaker 1: his career because of all the foot problems that he had,

787
00:42:28,040 --> 00:42:30,319
Speaker 1: which extended into his first year here with the Bills

788
00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:34,239
Speaker 1: last year. So he's another guy who I think could

789
00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:36,960
Speaker 1: probably be more than he even is right now, but

790
00:42:37,080 --> 00:42:41,120
Speaker 1: because of those injuries earlier in his career, he's behind also.

791
00:42:41,520 --> 00:42:43,359
Speaker 1: And that's why you hear coaches say it all the time.

792
00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:46,279
Speaker 1: The number one ability in the league is availability, and

793
00:42:46,360 --> 00:42:48,279
Speaker 1: so hopefully both of those guys can get on the

794
00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:50,840
Speaker 1: right track with their health and be available week to

795
00:42:50,920 --> 00:42:53,160
Speaker 1: week so they can be a bigger part of this

796
00:42:53,320 --> 00:42:56,400
Speaker 1: passing game, because right now it's been leaning heavily on

797
00:42:56,520 --> 00:42:58,440
Speaker 1: the receivers, and it's due more to a lack of

798
00:42:58,480 --> 00:43:00,960
Speaker 1: availability on the part of the tight ends at least

799
00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:04,560
Speaker 1: the pass catching ones, more than anything else. I'll say this.

800
00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:06,880
Speaker 1: It's obvious to me too that when they're both healthy,

801
00:43:06,880 --> 00:43:08,560
Speaker 1: he knocks is the guy that coaches the one on

802
00:43:08,680 --> 00:43:11,120
Speaker 1: the field. Yes, he's the more athletic of the two.

803
00:43:11,239 --> 00:43:13,319
Speaker 1: I don't think there's any debating that. But you can't,

804
00:43:13,400 --> 00:43:16,040
Speaker 1: like the consistency is going to count more. You can't.

805
00:43:16,480 --> 00:43:20,280
Speaker 1: You can't be consistent and you can't develop consistency without

806
00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:24,520
Speaker 1: consistently being on the field. So that's where he's at

807
00:43:24,600 --> 00:43:26,279
Speaker 1: right now. I think he will and there's plenty of

808
00:43:26,360 --> 00:43:28,840
Speaker 1: time for him to take a big step forward, but

809
00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:30,439
Speaker 1: he's got to get healthy and get on the field

810
00:43:30,440 --> 00:43:32,120
Speaker 1: and stay there. All right, More of your phone calls

811
00:43:32,160 --> 00:43:35,640
Speaker 1: when we return, Matt and Rochester, Gary on a cell,

812
00:43:35,960 --> 00:43:38,040
Speaker 1: Bruce and Buffalo hang type. We'll get to you when

813
00:43:38,040 --> 00:43:40,440
Speaker 1: we return. Here on one Bills Live, presented by Kalid

814
00:43:40,480 --> 00:43:55,399
Speaker 1: to Health, this is Buffalo Bill's radio me jaster Chris

815
00:43:55,480 --> 00:43:57,600
Speaker 1: Brown with you closing up hour number one on one

816
00:43:57,680 --> 00:43:59,200
Speaker 1: Bills Live. Where do you want to get right back

817
00:43:59,239 --> 00:44:02,399
Speaker 1: to the phones? As we're asking you on the tweet sheet,

818
00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:05,440
Speaker 1: what do you think the Bills need most in this

819
00:44:05,600 --> 00:44:07,760
Speaker 1: game coming up against the Chiefs. You need the offense

820
00:44:07,800 --> 00:44:11,480
Speaker 1: to bounce back. You need people back from injury something else.

821
00:44:12,120 --> 00:44:14,760
Speaker 1: You need the defense to come up with a yeoman's performance.

822
00:44:14,840 --> 00:44:16,680
Speaker 1: Whatever you think it is way in and if you

823
00:44:16,719 --> 00:44:20,280
Speaker 1: have any comments on you know, the the now confirmed

824
00:44:20,280 --> 00:44:22,680
Speaker 1: reports that the Bills are expressing interest in leavy on

825
00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:25,280
Speaker 1: Bell and Bell is down to the Bills, the Chiefs

826
00:44:25,320 --> 00:44:28,200
Speaker 1: and the Dolphins as a future destination. You can weigh

827
00:44:28,239 --> 00:44:29,560
Speaker 1: in on what you think about that. Where do you

828
00:44:29,600 --> 00:44:31,560
Speaker 1: think it's good for the Bills, bad for the Bills,

829
00:44:32,320 --> 00:44:35,880
Speaker 1: whatever you think about it, let us know at eight fifty.

830
00:44:35,960 --> 00:44:38,760
Speaker 1: So with that we go to Gary on a sell, Gary,

831
00:44:38,800 --> 00:44:40,399
Speaker 1: what do you have for us? Thanks for joining the show?

832
00:44:41,640 --> 00:44:43,880
Speaker 1: Hey guys, are you all doing? Doing you good? Gary?

833
00:44:45,239 --> 00:44:47,799
Speaker 1: I think we need two things and I think one

834
00:44:47,840 --> 00:44:50,319
Speaker 1: was a whole lot. We need a power running game

835
00:44:50,880 --> 00:44:52,920
Speaker 1: for the room games. You can play a team like Tennessee.

836
00:44:53,640 --> 00:44:56,840
Speaker 1: We're not running the ball. It's the good real well's

837
00:44:58,040 --> 00:45:00,880
Speaker 1: a concern. I think let me Bell help and our

838
00:45:00,960 --> 00:45:03,600
Speaker 1: guard play needs to be better. And I think we

839
00:45:03,680 --> 00:45:05,960
Speaker 1: need pass for us. And I think, you know, obviously

840
00:45:06,040 --> 00:45:09,239
Speaker 1: the injuries, getting Tray Whites would be a big you

841
00:45:09,280 --> 00:45:13,040
Speaker 1: know phonus. Yeah, back, yes, and I think if we

842
00:45:13,160 --> 00:45:16,520
Speaker 1: do that'll be all right. Yeah, you need how long

843
00:45:16,640 --> 00:45:20,719
Speaker 1: is that list? Though? Garry that's a long list. But

844
00:45:23,239 --> 00:45:27,400
Speaker 1: if you want to win. Yeah, yeah, I'm not disagreeing

845
00:45:27,440 --> 00:45:29,279
Speaker 1: with you, Gary, I'm just saying that's a lot of doing.

846
00:45:29,480 --> 00:45:31,040
Speaker 1: Let me tell you this, Gary, let me tell you

847
00:45:31,080 --> 00:45:33,080
Speaker 1: what I'm off the top of my head here. I've

848
00:45:33,120 --> 00:45:34,759
Speaker 1: been looking, you know, I've been starting to read about

849
00:45:34,760 --> 00:45:36,680
Speaker 1: this game and getting ready for the Chiefs and talking

850
00:45:36,680 --> 00:45:39,680
Speaker 1: about him. Here's what happens after Now. The Chiefs got

851
00:45:39,719 --> 00:45:44,600
Speaker 1: beat last week forty two thirty by the Raiders, and

852
00:45:45,160 --> 00:45:48,759
Speaker 1: after a loss in his career, Mahomes is five and

853
00:45:49,719 --> 00:45:58,359
Speaker 1: two after a loss. Also the Raiders, I mean, sorry,

854
00:45:58,400 --> 00:46:02,480
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. Here's what their defense this season. In the

855
00:46:02,600 --> 00:46:05,000
Speaker 1: Raiders game, they got one turnover. In the rest of

856
00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:08,160
Speaker 1: the games, all the games together, they got seven turnovers

857
00:46:08,520 --> 00:46:10,840
Speaker 1: in the rest of the games. The turnovers or what

858
00:46:10,960 --> 00:46:14,120
Speaker 1: their defense, the Chiefs and their offense thrive on. That's

859
00:46:14,120 --> 00:46:18,720
Speaker 1: whats they thrive on. Extra possessions. So, in my opinion,

860
00:46:18,800 --> 00:46:20,839
Speaker 1: I think, I don't know if I want to go conservative,

861
00:46:21,160 --> 00:46:23,040
Speaker 1: but I know this, you ain't. You're not gonna win

862
00:46:23,080 --> 00:46:26,000
Speaker 1: if you start throwing tip ball interceptions or bad interceptions

863
00:46:26,080 --> 00:46:28,680
Speaker 1: or coughing the ball up on striving for extra yards

864
00:46:29,040 --> 00:46:31,400
Speaker 1: So if the Bills don't turn the ball over, or

865
00:46:31,800 --> 00:46:33,839
Speaker 1: if they turn it over twice, if they make sure

866
00:46:33,880 --> 00:46:36,200
Speaker 1: that the Chiefs turn it over three times or four times,

867
00:46:36,840 --> 00:46:39,719
Speaker 1: if they win that statistic, they got a chance to

868
00:46:39,760 --> 00:46:41,880
Speaker 1: stay with this team at least. And then even if

869
00:46:41,920 --> 00:46:44,120
Speaker 1: they stay, just stay with them, they gotta don't have

870
00:46:44,160 --> 00:46:45,640
Speaker 1: a chance to win it late. Tell me what you

871
00:46:45,719 --> 00:46:48,520
Speaker 1: think about this theory. Okay, the Bills go down and

872
00:46:48,560 --> 00:46:52,479
Speaker 1: play the Titans. It's a physical, you know, rock'em sock

873
00:46:52,520 --> 00:46:54,440
Speaker 1: 'em kind of game, which is what you expected from

874
00:46:54,480 --> 00:46:56,080
Speaker 1: the Titans. And the Bills win toe to toe with

875
00:46:56,160 --> 00:46:58,719
Speaker 1: them in that kind of a game last year. Right

876
00:47:00,239 --> 00:47:02,720
Speaker 1: this year, I don't think they quite matched the physical

877
00:47:02,760 --> 00:47:05,800
Speaker 1: intensity that the Titans brought to the field. And I

878
00:47:05,960 --> 00:47:08,560
Speaker 1: think it was a wake up call for coach McDermott.

879
00:47:09,200 --> 00:47:11,879
Speaker 1: And what did he talk about after the game. He said,

880
00:47:11,880 --> 00:47:13,320
Speaker 1: we got to be able to run the ball against

881
00:47:13,360 --> 00:47:16,719
Speaker 1: Cover two And I think he's looking at the physicality

882
00:47:16,800 --> 00:47:18,840
Speaker 1: that the Titans bring to the field and he says

883
00:47:20,200 --> 00:47:23,680
Speaker 1: we couldn't match that. We gotta be a more physical team. Now.

884
00:47:24,320 --> 00:47:27,360
Speaker 1: I think they will get there when Feliciano's back in

885
00:47:27,440 --> 00:47:31,879
Speaker 1: the lineup. Arguably your most physical offensive lineman who brings

886
00:47:31,920 --> 00:47:34,920
Speaker 1: an attitude to that group and inspires other guys to

887
00:47:35,040 --> 00:47:39,000
Speaker 1: start banging heads. I just think that's the infectious kind

888
00:47:39,080 --> 00:47:42,000
Speaker 1: of physical play that he brings to that offensive line.

889
00:47:42,040 --> 00:47:44,800
Speaker 1: When Feliciano's on the field, watch how Cody Ford plays.

890
00:47:45,800 --> 00:47:48,719
Speaker 1: Cody Ford's ready to start taking people's faces off. When

891
00:47:48,800 --> 00:47:50,840
Speaker 1: Feliciano's out there on the field with him, he just

892
00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:55,480
Speaker 1: charges people up and again, with no fans, you kind

893
00:47:55,480 --> 00:47:57,200
Speaker 1: of need one of those guys. I was thinking the

894
00:47:57,320 --> 00:48:00,320
Speaker 1: exact same thing. If if Feliciano's ready to get in

895
00:48:00,400 --> 00:48:03,840
Speaker 1: the game and McDermott wants to say make a statement

896
00:48:03,880 --> 00:48:06,560
Speaker 1: about where they were at physically last week, and I'm

897
00:48:06,560 --> 00:48:09,040
Speaker 1: not saying they didn't get there last week, I think

898
00:48:09,520 --> 00:48:11,920
Speaker 1: it's in their for him to be there. Mentally. The

899
00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:14,120
Speaker 1: whole team was a little bit down last week because

900
00:48:14,160 --> 00:48:16,279
Speaker 1: I don't think they were They knew if they were

901
00:48:16,280 --> 00:48:18,640
Speaker 1: actually going to play a game, let alone prepare for

902
00:48:18,760 --> 00:48:21,160
Speaker 1: one mentally. But I think he knows. I think coach

903
00:48:21,280 --> 00:48:23,879
Speaker 1: McDermott knows because he's been in this league long enough.

904
00:48:23,960 --> 00:48:28,040
Speaker 1: I think he knows that between now and the postseason,

905
00:48:28,960 --> 00:48:31,240
Speaker 1: they better get a physical edge to them on offense

906
00:48:31,360 --> 00:48:33,880
Speaker 1: and on defense for that matter, if they want to

907
00:48:33,920 --> 00:48:35,920
Speaker 1: go anywhere in the playoffs, right because and I think

908
00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:37,480
Speaker 1: that's why you and I are both talking about a

909
00:48:37,520 --> 00:48:41,520
Speaker 1: guy like Feliciano. Yeah, if he's healthy, I think as

910
00:48:41,600 --> 00:48:44,520
Speaker 1: soon as he is, he's in, he's in. Yeah, And

911
00:48:44,760 --> 00:48:46,720
Speaker 1: that does. But I'm not saying thing against Brian Winters

912
00:48:46,840 --> 00:48:49,120
Speaker 1: or even Cody Ford or anybody in there. I'm thinking

913
00:48:49,480 --> 00:48:51,879
Speaker 1: that he brings something that nobody else does. But there

914
00:48:51,920 --> 00:48:54,560
Speaker 1: has to be a trickle down effect of that physicality

915
00:48:54,880 --> 00:48:58,000
Speaker 1: to this team's running game because right now it's not

916
00:48:58,160 --> 00:49:01,120
Speaker 1: there on a consistent enough basis, and I think coach

917
00:49:01,200 --> 00:49:04,399
Speaker 1: wants to get back to more of that. What, don't

918
00:49:04,440 --> 00:49:06,960
Speaker 1: get me wrong, what Josh Allen and the passing game

919
00:49:07,200 --> 00:49:09,760
Speaker 1: and Brian's ables play calling is doing right now is great.

920
00:49:10,600 --> 00:49:13,200
Speaker 1: They're a modern NFL offense now, And how long have

921
00:49:13,280 --> 00:49:16,400
Speaker 1: we been waiting to say that. Okay, it's great, but

922
00:49:16,520 --> 00:49:20,520
Speaker 1: it doesn't mean you can't be a physically a physical

923
00:49:20,600 --> 00:49:23,000
Speaker 1: team that can impose your will on an opponent. When

924
00:49:23,040 --> 00:49:25,440
Speaker 1: you have the lead and you say I'm running the

925
00:49:25,520 --> 00:49:28,880
Speaker 1: damn ball, try and stop us, and they can't and

926
00:49:29,040 --> 00:49:31,600
Speaker 1: I think he wants to get to that place because

927
00:49:31,640 --> 00:49:34,920
Speaker 1: he knows in games in the playoffs, you better be

928
00:49:35,000 --> 00:49:37,920
Speaker 1: able to mash with people. I mean, think about how

929
00:49:38,000 --> 00:49:41,520
Speaker 1: Baltimore plays defense. They beat you up. Think about how

930
00:49:41,600 --> 00:49:44,440
Speaker 1: this Titans team plays defense up front, they beat you up.

931
00:49:45,280 --> 00:49:47,279
Speaker 1: You can't match and go toe to toe. That way,

932
00:49:47,560 --> 00:49:49,440
Speaker 1: you're not going anywhere in the playoffs. Well, here's what

933
00:49:49,520 --> 00:49:52,080
Speaker 1: happens in the playoff. And we're talking about the playoffs

934
00:49:52,080 --> 00:49:56,080
Speaker 1: here it's Week six. But I know, but you're right,

935
00:49:57,920 --> 00:50:03,960
Speaker 1: Like last year, the Bill were not consistently good enough offensively,

936
00:50:04,520 --> 00:50:07,399
Speaker 1: they were they were kind of a run first team

937
00:50:07,520 --> 00:50:09,600
Speaker 1: and then kind of a Josh Allen, let's make a

938
00:50:09,680 --> 00:50:12,959
Speaker 1: play kind of team. He was not a drop back,

939
00:50:13,160 --> 00:50:15,760
Speaker 1: pure pastor going to pick you apart. And their weapons

940
00:50:15,800 --> 00:50:18,680
Speaker 1: on the outside were a little bit deficient than they

941
00:50:18,680 --> 00:50:21,000
Speaker 1: are this more deficient than they are this year. This year,

942
00:50:21,280 --> 00:50:23,440
Speaker 1: now they got four guys out there, they're very confident

943
00:50:23,520 --> 00:50:26,160
Speaker 1: in maybe five if Devin Singletary is out there or whatever.

944
00:50:27,239 --> 00:50:30,680
Speaker 1: But when you get to the playoffs, unless you're very

945
00:50:30,800 --> 00:50:33,040
Speaker 1: lucky and the draw comes through where you don't have

946
00:50:33,160 --> 00:50:35,360
Speaker 1: to face a team like this or that or whatever,

947
00:50:36,160 --> 00:50:38,759
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to show an exhibit, particularly to win

948
00:50:38,800 --> 00:50:41,520
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl. You're gonna have to exhibit the ability

949
00:50:41,840 --> 00:50:45,360
Speaker 1: to win games in different ways and have every facet

950
00:50:45,520 --> 00:50:49,239
Speaker 1: of a game at your disposal. Now, occasionally you'll see

951
00:50:49,239 --> 00:50:52,360
Speaker 1: a team like the Saint Louis Rams with Kurt Warner

952
00:50:52,400 --> 00:50:55,120
Speaker 1: and the Greatest Show on Turf. They're gonna play their

953
00:50:55,200 --> 00:50:57,520
Speaker 1: offense and they're gonna win every game like that or

954
00:50:57,600 --> 00:50:59,560
Speaker 1: lose every game like that, and when they lose, it's

955
00:50:59,560 --> 00:51:02,560
Speaker 1: because they dropped a pass or or you know, they

956
00:51:02,680 --> 00:51:06,400
Speaker 1: got somebody stumbled and fell down. Whatever. The Chiefs were

957
00:51:06,480 --> 00:51:09,720
Speaker 1: like that last year. They're playing that wide open, let's

958
00:51:09,800 --> 00:51:13,160
Speaker 1: go defense offense, and we don't care if our defense

959
00:51:13,239 --> 00:51:16,320
Speaker 1: even shows up. We'll see if you can be the

960
00:51:16,400 --> 00:51:19,719
Speaker 1: ones not to drop a pass and blow the game

961
00:51:19,760 --> 00:51:22,839
Speaker 1: because of it. And indeed, two years ago, the Chiefs

962
00:51:22,880 --> 00:51:25,200
Speaker 1: would have been in the Super Bowl if they hadn't

963
00:51:25,200 --> 00:51:27,320
Speaker 1: had if their defense wouldn't have showed up, if the

964
00:51:27,360 --> 00:51:29,359
Speaker 1: guy wouldn't have lined up off sides on the play

965
00:51:29,440 --> 00:51:32,520
Speaker 1: that they actually intercepted it on, they would have been

966
00:51:32,560 --> 00:51:34,920
Speaker 1: in two straight Super Bowls if everything was remained equal.

967
00:51:35,480 --> 00:51:37,920
Speaker 1: So the Chiefs are gonna win their way. Occasionally you

968
00:51:38,040 --> 00:51:40,560
Speaker 1: get a team like that, but occasionally, and I think

969
00:51:40,640 --> 00:51:43,400
Speaker 1: this is what happened to the Titans last year. They

970
00:51:43,480 --> 00:51:45,680
Speaker 1: had one way to win and that was how it

971
00:51:45,760 --> 00:51:48,439
Speaker 1: was going to be, and that was it. They could

972
00:51:48,520 --> 00:51:50,880
Speaker 1: if you could stop their running game, if Derrick Henry

973
00:51:50,880 --> 00:51:53,840
Speaker 1: couldn't get enough yards, if Ryan Tannehill couldn't, you know,

974
00:51:54,360 --> 00:51:56,600
Speaker 1: compliment him or carry the team with a passing game,

975
00:51:56,640 --> 00:52:00,440
Speaker 1: which they couldn't, they got a long way, but they

976
00:52:00,480 --> 00:52:04,040
Speaker 1: couldn't beat that Chiefs team. Yeah. So and that same

977
00:52:04,080 --> 00:52:07,280
Speaker 1: thing with Houston. Houston, I mean were they were a playmaker.

978
00:52:07,360 --> 00:52:09,560
Speaker 1: They were a bunch of playmakers. Last year. They jumped

979
00:52:09,560 --> 00:52:11,840
Speaker 1: out way big on the Chiefs, but they couldn't maintain that.

980
00:52:11,920 --> 00:52:14,759
Speaker 1: They couldn't win another way. They couldn't stay on the

981
00:52:14,840 --> 00:52:18,160
Speaker 1: field and f offensively. So my point is this, Yeah,

982
00:52:18,200 --> 00:52:20,279
Speaker 1: the Bills can throw it out there, and Josh can

983
00:52:20,360 --> 00:52:22,759
Speaker 1: throw it in complete seventy percent of his third downs,

984
00:52:22,800 --> 00:52:25,560
Speaker 1: and they can do all this, but sooner or later

985
00:52:25,600 --> 00:52:27,759
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to find be able to win a

986
00:52:27,880 --> 00:52:31,280
Speaker 1: different way and complement that offense with a different facet

987
00:52:31,320 --> 00:52:33,400
Speaker 1: of the offense, with a running game, a power running

988
00:52:33,440 --> 00:52:35,719
Speaker 1: game and their defense at some points gonna have to

989
00:52:35,800 --> 00:52:37,760
Speaker 1: get a key sack or a key couple of sacks,

990
00:52:38,040 --> 00:52:39,840
Speaker 1: or a bunch of pressures in the second half of

991
00:52:39,880 --> 00:52:41,920
Speaker 1: the game. To this point, those are kind of the

992
00:52:41,960 --> 00:52:43,880
Speaker 1: things we're looking for. This team hasn't been able to

993
00:52:43,920 --> 00:52:47,400
Speaker 1: give us. We'll see if they can get there, or

994
00:52:47,440 --> 00:52:49,719
Speaker 1: if the cards fall enough in their right way, in

995
00:52:49,760 --> 00:52:52,359
Speaker 1: their favor that they can go far enough without them.

996
00:52:52,880 --> 00:52:54,480
Speaker 1: All right, we have to take a break, but when

997
00:52:54,560 --> 00:52:56,640
Speaker 1: we return, more of your phone calls and we'll hear

998
00:52:57,120 --> 00:52:59,920
Speaker 1: from Bill's defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier, who had some very

999
00:53:00,080 --> 00:53:03,399
Speaker 1: interesting things to say about the teams struggling pass rush,

1000
00:53:03,800 --> 00:53:06,080
Speaker 1: their inability to get off the field on third down,

1001
00:53:06,400 --> 00:53:09,440
Speaker 1: and the steps the coaching staff is taking to rectify

1002
00:53:09,560 --> 00:53:11,600
Speaker 1: some of those issues. It's all coming up next here

1003
00:53:11,680 --> 00:53:13,880
Speaker 1: on One Bill's Live, presented by Kalid to Health. This

1004
00:53:14,000 --> 00:53:27,879
Speaker 1: is Buffalo Bill's Radio. Hello, Bill's Radio Network. Sports Date,

Speaker 1: update for the Bills. Dawson Knox not practicing due to

1007
00:53:34,600 --> 00:53:37,240
Speaker 1: a calf injury suffered in Tuesday night's game against the Titans.

1008
00:53:37,560 --> 00:53:40,359
Speaker 1: It is a jog through practice today for the team,

1009
00:53:40,440 --> 00:53:43,959
Speaker 1: since they just played on Tuesday night. Tradevious White, John Brown,

Speaker 1: Matt Mulano, Quentin Spain, and John Feliciano all participating. We'll

1011
00:53:48,080 --> 00:53:50,360
Speaker 1: get an update on each player's status when the injury

1012
00:53:50,440 --> 00:53:54,799
Speaker 1: report is released later this afternoon. Bill's head coach Sean

1013
00:53:54,880 --> 00:53:58,239
Speaker 1: McDermott confirmed that the team has expressed interest in now

1014
00:53:58,360 --> 00:54:01,160
Speaker 1: free agent running back Lavin leaby On Bell, who was

1015
00:54:01,560 --> 00:54:05,320
Speaker 1: released by the Jets on Tuesday. ESPN's Jeremy Fowler is

1016
00:54:05,360 --> 00:54:08,839
Speaker 1: reporting that Bell is down to three teams in terms

1017
00:54:08,880 --> 00:54:12,240
Speaker 1: of making a decision as to where he'll sign. The Bills,

1018
00:54:12,320 --> 00:54:15,080
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, and the Dolphins are said to be the

1019
00:54:15,239 --> 00:54:18,920
Speaker 1: three teams in play. It's been a roller coaster week

1020
00:54:18,960 --> 00:54:21,640
Speaker 1: in Atlanta. Earlier this week, the team fire GM Thomas

1021
00:54:21,680 --> 00:54:25,000
Speaker 1: Dimitrov and head coach Dan Quinn. Now the club's week

1022
00:54:25,040 --> 00:54:28,399
Speaker 1: six plans have been disrupted by COVID nineteen. The team

1023
00:54:28,440 --> 00:54:33,239
Speaker 1: worked remotely today following one confirmed positive tests that came

1024
00:54:33,320 --> 00:54:36,880
Speaker 1: back from Wednesday's testing this morning. The Falcons are scheduled

1025
00:54:36,920 --> 00:54:39,120
Speaker 1: to play the Minnesota Vikings at one o'clock on Sunday.

1026
00:54:39,520 --> 00:54:42,800
Speaker 1: Patriots QB Cam Newton removed from the reserve COVID nineteen

1027
00:54:42,880 --> 00:54:46,759
Speaker 1: list Wednesday. He will practice today. He is return puts

1028
00:54:46,800 --> 00:54:49,360
Speaker 1: him in line to play Sunday against the Broncos. The

1029
00:54:49,440 --> 00:54:51,839
Speaker 1: former MVP had been on the COVID nineteen lists since

1030
00:54:51,880 --> 00:54:54,440
Speaker 1: October third, which kept him out of New England's Week

1031
00:54:54,520 --> 00:54:57,440
Speaker 1: four loss to the Chiefs and the Broncos looking to

1032
00:54:57,480 --> 00:55:00,560
Speaker 1: get their starting quarterback back as well. Drew Locke was

1033
00:55:00,600 --> 00:55:03,120
Speaker 1: a full participant in Broncho's practice Wednesday for the first

1034
00:55:03,160 --> 00:55:06,160
Speaker 1: time since injuring his right throwing shoulder against Pittsburgh in

1035
00:55:06,239 --> 00:55:08,760
Speaker 1: Week two, a good sign for the second year quarterbacks

1036
00:55:08,800 --> 00:55:11,800
Speaker 1: hopes of returning to start Sunday against New England. That

1037
00:55:11,920 --> 00:55:14,440
Speaker 1: is your sports update here from One Bill's Drive. Chris

1038
00:55:14,520 --> 00:55:17,319
Speaker 1: Brownsteve Tasker with you our number two, as we are

1039
00:55:17,360 --> 00:55:21,239
Speaker 1: both sporting our Bills fanbox shirts that were designed by

1040
00:55:21,360 --> 00:55:25,960
Speaker 1: Josh Allen. On the front here it says Football Propulsion Laboratory,

1041
00:55:26,040 --> 00:55:29,520
Speaker 1: the Allen Football Propulsion Laboratory, and there are silhouettes of

1042
00:55:29,640 --> 00:55:32,160
Speaker 1: him on the back of the shirt throwing and arching

1043
00:55:32,239 --> 00:55:35,000
Speaker 1: the ball into the heavens. So kind of a cool

1044
00:55:35,080 --> 00:55:36,960
Speaker 1: design there, and there'll be more coming your way. You

1045
00:55:37,040 --> 00:55:41,279
Speaker 1: can go to Bills or Bills fanbox dot com for

1046
00:55:41,400 --> 00:55:44,239
Speaker 1: all the details and a portion of the proceeds from

1047
00:55:44,320 --> 00:55:48,080
Speaker 1: these shirts will go toward each player's design charity, and

1048
00:55:48,280 --> 00:55:52,560
Speaker 1: for Josh it's the Oshi Children's Foundation for the hospital.

1049
00:55:52,600 --> 00:55:56,680
Speaker 1: Oshi Children's Hospital Foundation, so a worthy cause there. So

1050
00:55:57,040 --> 00:55:59,680
Speaker 1: go to Bills fanbox dot com if you are interested

1051
00:56:00,160 --> 00:56:01,880
Speaker 1: in picking up one of these or any of the

1052
00:56:01,960 --> 00:56:06,320
Speaker 1: other design shirts forthcoming from the likes of Dion Dawkins

1053
00:56:06,920 --> 00:56:09,800
Speaker 1: and I believe Dawson Knox will have a shirt design

1054
00:56:09,920 --> 00:56:15,600
Speaker 1: coming up, and Cody Ford, Tremaine Edmonds. Those are all

1055
00:56:15,640 --> 00:56:18,840
Speaker 1: the guys still with shirts to be released. They usually

1056
00:56:18,880 --> 00:56:21,480
Speaker 1: come out the week of every Bill's home game, so

1057
00:56:22,160 --> 00:56:25,080
Speaker 1: look for those on the horizon here and hopefully we'll

1058
00:56:25,120 --> 00:56:27,120
Speaker 1: be wearing those as well. Yeah, and we did have

1059
00:56:27,560 --> 00:56:30,200
Speaker 1: and thinking about how the games are coming. Now. This

1060
00:56:30,280 --> 00:56:33,760
Speaker 1: Bill's game is going to be on Monday at five o'clock.

1061
00:56:33,800 --> 00:56:36,920
Speaker 1: It was supposed to be tonight. You could think about

1062
00:56:36,920 --> 00:56:39,719
Speaker 1: that the game, the Bills Chiefs game was supposed to

1063
00:56:39,760 --> 00:56:45,040
Speaker 1: be tonight. Yeah, it's now on Monday at five. But

1064
00:56:45,280 --> 00:56:47,120
Speaker 1: are you okay having said all that, did you wake

1065
00:56:47,200 --> 00:56:48,680
Speaker 1: up today knowing what day it was? Yeah? I know,

1066
00:56:49,719 --> 00:56:54,000
Speaker 1: but I'm here now. So the thing gets me is

1067
00:56:54,360 --> 00:56:57,759
Speaker 1: if now the Atlanta Falcons had a positive test, they

1068
00:56:57,880 --> 00:57:00,640
Speaker 1: and they worked remotely today, They're gonna work out of

1069
00:57:00,640 --> 00:57:04,920
Speaker 1: an abundance of cautions those uncharted waters and out of

1070
00:57:04,920 --> 00:57:10,200
Speaker 1: an abundance of caution. If the Bills game goes off,

1071
00:57:10,239 --> 00:57:12,600
Speaker 1: if this next weekend of games goes off without a hitching,

1072
00:57:12,680 --> 00:57:15,040
Speaker 1: we don't have any more outburst or brush fires. If

1073
00:57:15,080 --> 00:57:16,760
Speaker 1: we just have a little pilot lights that you can

1074
00:57:16,840 --> 00:57:20,880
Speaker 1: snuff out real quick. Yeah, this is it's gonna be amazing.

1075
00:57:22,240 --> 00:57:23,800
Speaker 1: I don't know how long it's gonna last, but it

1076
00:57:23,880 --> 00:57:26,960
Speaker 1: looks like though after that, Bills are back on schedule

1077
00:57:27,000 --> 00:57:30,080
Speaker 1: with their regular schedule going on for going forward. They

1078
00:57:30,160 --> 00:57:32,600
Speaker 1: go to the Jets next and you hope there are

1079
00:57:32,640 --> 00:57:34,760
Speaker 1: on any more disruptions. Their buy is still in play

1080
00:57:34,800 --> 00:57:40,400
Speaker 1: in week eleven, right, But yeah, I my concern lies

1081
00:57:40,760 --> 00:57:45,120
Speaker 1: with what's happening in the country, and what's happening in

1082
00:57:45,160 --> 00:57:49,520
Speaker 1: the country is sharp spikes in this virus in about

1083
00:57:49,720 --> 00:57:54,520
Speaker 1: thirty states right now, right, And you know, the medical

1084
00:57:54,600 --> 00:57:58,320
Speaker 1: experts haven't declared anything in terms of a second wave,

1085
00:57:58,400 --> 00:58:00,560
Speaker 1: like we're in the second wave now. We haven't heard

1086
00:58:00,560 --> 00:58:03,400
Speaker 1: anything like that. But I fear that we're on our

1087
00:58:03,480 --> 00:58:06,000
Speaker 1: way to that. And I think we all are smart

1088
00:58:06,120 --> 00:58:09,240
Speaker 1: enough to know that if the virus is sprouting up

1089
00:58:09,320 --> 00:58:13,720
Speaker 1: in all these places around these NFL teams, that it

1090
00:58:13,880 --> 00:58:17,600
Speaker 1: is probably inevitable that, despite the best efforts of players,

1091
00:58:17,960 --> 00:58:20,960
Speaker 1: when they leave their respective team facilities, that they're going

1092
00:58:21,040 --> 00:58:24,840
Speaker 1: to get exposed somewhere, whether they're pumping gas or picking

1093
00:58:24,920 --> 00:58:27,400
Speaker 1: up take out, you know what I mean. Like, it's

1094
00:58:27,440 --> 00:58:29,960
Speaker 1: just it's the law of averages that I am not

1095
00:58:30,240 --> 00:58:33,000
Speaker 1: liking right now, based on where the country's going with

1096
00:58:33,160 --> 00:58:38,120
Speaker 1: an increase in cases. Even so, if they all do

1097
00:58:38,640 --> 00:58:42,600
Speaker 1: what they're supposed to do, and that is, if they

1098
00:58:42,760 --> 00:58:46,440
Speaker 1: come in to the building and they don't feel their

1099
00:58:46,520 --> 00:58:49,160
Speaker 1: best or have something going on, they get their temperature taken,

1100
00:58:49,200 --> 00:58:53,120
Speaker 1: they get tested. They gotta be honest with hey, what

1101
00:58:53,240 --> 00:58:57,240
Speaker 1: did you do? You know, well, yeah, I talked to

1102
00:58:57,280 --> 00:59:00,479
Speaker 1: the delivery guy or whatever whatever. A lot of people

1103
00:59:00,560 --> 00:59:04,240
Speaker 1: in normal in normal times, how do you feel. I

1104
00:59:04,600 --> 00:59:07,120
Speaker 1: don't feel all like, great, well, you know what, you're

1105
00:59:07,160 --> 00:59:08,480
Speaker 1: good enough to go? Yeah, I'm good enough to go.

1106
00:59:08,520 --> 00:59:11,360
Speaker 1: All right, let's go. You know now that the problem

1107
00:59:11,400 --> 00:59:13,439
Speaker 1: with right that's what led to the problem with the titan.

1108
00:59:13,480 --> 00:59:16,400
Speaker 1: Somebody goes, I don't feel great, didn't wasn't truthful on

1109
00:59:16,440 --> 00:59:18,320
Speaker 1: the daily four he has to fill out, you know,

1110
00:59:18,360 --> 00:59:20,200
Speaker 1: are you're feeling and all these symptoms? Do you have

1111
00:59:20,240 --> 00:59:21,920
Speaker 1: a running nose? Do you have a sore throat? All

1112
00:59:21,960 --> 00:59:25,080
Speaker 1: of a sudden, Eight guys and then then twenty three yeah,

1113
00:59:25,120 --> 00:59:27,600
Speaker 1: eight guys on the way to twenty three, one or

1114
00:59:27,640 --> 00:59:30,080
Speaker 1: two a day for the next two weeks. It's that's

1115
00:59:30,160 --> 00:59:38,240
Speaker 1: what the crucial element is. Guys understanding and acknowledging that

1116
00:59:38,360 --> 00:59:41,320
Speaker 1: there was a chance that they need to be careful about.

1117
00:59:41,840 --> 00:59:44,800
Speaker 1: Eight oh three, five fifty one, eighty eight, five fifty two,

1118
00:59:44,920 --> 00:59:46,800
Speaker 1: five fifty. We're asking you on the Twitter poll, what's

1119
00:59:46,800 --> 00:59:48,360
Speaker 1: the biggest need for the Bills in their game with

1120
00:59:48,480 --> 00:59:51,439
Speaker 1: the Chiefs on Monday. More pressure on Mahomes, a return

1121
00:59:51,520 --> 00:59:54,080
Speaker 1: to the injured players, bounced back by the offense, or

1122
00:59:54,160 --> 00:59:57,360
Speaker 1: something else. We're also talking Levy on bell Uh and

1123
00:59:58,280 --> 01:00:01,280
Speaker 1: him being down to three teams in terms of where

1124
01:00:01,360 --> 01:00:04,000
Speaker 1: he may sign here in the very near future. The

1125
01:00:04,120 --> 01:00:06,520
Speaker 1: Bills basically coach McDermott was asked about it today in

1126
01:00:06,600 --> 01:00:10,480
Speaker 1: his press conference and confirmed that the Bills have expressed interest.

1127
01:00:10,800 --> 01:00:12,560
Speaker 1: So it's down to the Chiefs, the Bills, and the

1128
01:00:12,680 --> 01:00:15,640
Speaker 1: Dolphins in terms of the three teams that Levion Bell

1129
01:00:15,720 --> 01:00:17,280
Speaker 1: could sign with. So with that, we go to the

1130
01:00:17,360 --> 01:00:20,680
Speaker 1: phones and eight three fifty we go to Bruce and Buffalo.

1131
01:00:20,720 --> 01:00:22,600
Speaker 1: Who wants to talk Levion Bell? Bruce, what do you

1132
01:00:22,680 --> 01:00:26,240
Speaker 1: have for us? Yeah, guys, I think Leveon Bell's a

1133
01:00:26,320 --> 01:00:29,440
Speaker 1: perfect thing for the Bills way our offensive lines of

1134
01:00:29,560 --> 01:00:33,400
Speaker 1: fenus line. I think he fit in perfectly. He's a

1135
01:00:33,520 --> 01:00:36,520
Speaker 1: three down back, can catch the ball out of the backfield.

1136
01:00:37,000 --> 01:00:40,000
Speaker 1: He's great on screens and draws, and he's a great

1137
01:00:40,040 --> 01:00:44,240
Speaker 1: pass protector. He also is a patient runner. He needs

1138
01:00:44,280 --> 01:00:47,000
Speaker 1: somebody like that behind the offensive line that we have

1139
01:00:47,840 --> 01:00:50,560
Speaker 1: another thing. I could just picture him on a goal

1140
01:00:50,680 --> 01:00:54,000
Speaker 1: line with Josh Allen running a read option. What do

1141
01:00:54,080 --> 01:00:57,240
Speaker 1: you think? I mean, he's a talented player. I don't

1142
01:00:57,240 --> 01:01:00,440
Speaker 1: think there's any debating that. I agree he's a three

1143
01:01:00,480 --> 01:01:05,440
Speaker 1: down player. He's a patient runner. That is true. I

1144
01:01:05,520 --> 01:01:08,440
Speaker 1: mean that's how he was so successful in Pittsburgh. Can

1145
01:01:08,560 --> 01:01:11,480
Speaker 1: he play that way here? Can he play that way

1146
01:01:11,520 --> 01:01:14,320
Speaker 1: with this line? I'm I'm I'm asking you, Steve. I'm

1147
01:01:14,320 --> 01:01:17,720
Speaker 1: not one hundred percent certain that he can. Yeah, I

1148
01:01:17,760 --> 01:01:20,120
Speaker 1: don't think so, but I think you're right. I'm in

1149
01:01:22,120 --> 01:01:24,720
Speaker 1: on the surface level when you see him, Levion Bell

1150
01:01:24,840 --> 01:01:26,760
Speaker 1: is a perfect fit. But he's perfect fit for everybody.

1151
01:01:26,800 --> 01:01:29,160
Speaker 1: The guy's a great play talent. He's a talented player.

1152
01:01:29,240 --> 01:01:32,400
Speaker 1: He's big, fast, He's got a skill set that is

1153
01:01:32,520 --> 01:01:34,680
Speaker 1: for today's game. He can run routes, he can catch

1154
01:01:34,760 --> 01:01:36,400
Speaker 1: the ball out of the backfield, and he can run

1155
01:01:36,600 --> 01:01:38,880
Speaker 1: from a straight handoff right up through between the guards.

1156
01:01:39,200 --> 01:01:41,760
Speaker 1: He can do all of that. Uh, he is a

1157
01:01:41,880 --> 01:01:43,960
Speaker 1: great fit. I think what it comes down to more

1158
01:01:44,000 --> 01:01:48,040
Speaker 1: than anything with Levion Bell is what's it say to

1159
01:01:48,120 --> 01:01:49,640
Speaker 1: your team when he bring it? They bring him in?

1160
01:01:49,680 --> 01:01:52,840
Speaker 1: What kind of guy is he gonna fit in? Who's

1161
01:01:53,160 --> 01:01:59,200
Speaker 1: who gets jettisoned out of the rotation? And you know

1162
01:02:01,360 --> 01:02:03,440
Speaker 1: he is? He gonna make that big a difference is

1163
01:02:03,480 --> 01:02:06,560
Speaker 1: your is he is? Is Devin Singletary? The problem with

1164
01:02:06,600 --> 01:02:09,400
Speaker 1: your running game? Is he? The problem with your passing

1165
01:02:09,480 --> 01:02:15,000
Speaker 1: game or the wide receivers? Is Levion Bell gonna Because

1166
01:02:15,000 --> 01:02:17,520
Speaker 1: I'll tell you, if you put Levion Bell on the field,

1167
01:02:17,520 --> 01:02:20,240
Speaker 1: you're gonna take Devin Singletary off the field. Or if

1168
01:02:20,280 --> 01:02:22,400
Speaker 1: you put Levion Bell on the field. You're gonna take

1169
01:02:22,680 --> 01:02:27,400
Speaker 1: who Gabriel Davis off the field or Dawson Knocks off

1170
01:02:27,440 --> 01:02:29,480
Speaker 1: the field, or Tyler Croft off the field? I mean,

1171
01:02:29,520 --> 01:02:31,560
Speaker 1: who are you taking off the field? Well? Do you

1172
01:02:31,640 --> 01:02:34,400
Speaker 1: get better doing that? Yeah? There is an interesting formation

1173
01:02:34,520 --> 01:02:37,320
Speaker 1: that the Bills have sprinkled in on occasion through the

1174
01:02:37,400 --> 01:02:40,680
Speaker 1: course of this season, and it's that two back, that

1175
01:02:40,800 --> 01:02:45,000
Speaker 1: split back, twenty personnel set, no tight ends, two backs

1176
01:02:45,000 --> 01:02:50,000
Speaker 1: and three wides. Um. That wouldn't look too bad. Ye

1177
01:02:50,760 --> 01:02:53,000
Speaker 1: didn't look too bad. If you can protect. You got

1178
01:02:53,080 --> 01:02:56,520
Speaker 1: Bell and Singletary, you know, flanking Josh Allen in the shotgun,

1179
01:02:56,600 --> 01:03:00,520
Speaker 1: and you got three wides. I don't know if a

1180
01:03:00,600 --> 01:03:03,320
Speaker 1: defense can quite figure out what's coming there, can you.

1181
01:03:03,520 --> 01:03:06,680
Speaker 1: I mean there's a lot of options. Yeah, that's a

1182
01:03:06,800 --> 01:03:11,200
Speaker 1: lot of options. Brian Dabo be finger Payton there, he'd be. Yeah,

1183
01:03:11,320 --> 01:03:13,680
Speaker 1: that'd be pretty created a lot of options there, And

1184
01:03:13,920 --> 01:03:15,360
Speaker 1: it all comes down to if you're gonna throw the

1185
01:03:15,440 --> 01:03:17,720
Speaker 1: football out of that brownie, it becomes it comes down

1186
01:03:17,720 --> 01:03:19,680
Speaker 1: to what I just said, can you protect it? If

1187
01:03:19,720 --> 01:03:22,120
Speaker 1: you got five offensive line to protect and maybe one

1188
01:03:22,200 --> 01:03:26,800
Speaker 1: or one or the other back, Uh, yeah, can you

1189
01:03:26,920 --> 01:03:29,880
Speaker 1: can you keep John Allen upright. I like that personnel

1190
01:03:29,960 --> 01:03:33,120
Speaker 1: groping a lot. It's pretty intriguing, I will admit. But

1191
01:03:33,360 --> 01:03:36,400
Speaker 1: you can also do that if if Zach Moss is healthy. Yeah,

1192
01:03:37,160 --> 01:03:41,800
Speaker 1: that's and they use that sparingly when early in the season.

1193
01:03:41,840 --> 01:03:45,360
Speaker 1: I think that's an interesting It is an interesting personnel combination.

1194
01:03:45,560 --> 01:03:47,880
Speaker 1: And not only for the fact that you can throw

1195
01:03:47,960 --> 01:03:49,560
Speaker 1: out of it and do all that spread offense, but

1196
01:03:50,240 --> 01:03:53,040
Speaker 1: you can run out of it, and that I think

1197
01:03:53,200 --> 01:03:58,440
Speaker 1: is is key because with all these high flying spread offenses,

1198
01:03:58,560 --> 01:04:01,640
Speaker 1: even go back through history, even the Ka gun, the

1199
01:04:01,800 --> 01:04:06,320
Speaker 1: running shoot, the greatest show on turf, all of those

1200
01:04:06,440 --> 01:04:10,440
Speaker 1: teams who threw it all over the yard, they had

1201
01:04:10,480 --> 01:04:12,120
Speaker 1: somebody to give it to and hand it off to

1202
01:04:12,320 --> 01:04:14,080
Speaker 1: that they could be productive in the running game. I

1203
01:04:14,120 --> 01:04:16,040
Speaker 1: don't mean just as a token either. I mean it

1204
01:04:16,160 --> 01:04:19,760
Speaker 1: was a threat. Well, the Bills with Thurman Thomas, the

1205
01:04:19,960 --> 01:04:26,440
Speaker 1: Rams with Marshall Falk, all of that stuff, All Rams

1206
01:04:26,480 --> 01:04:30,200
Speaker 1: with Todd Gurley, right, the Rams with Todd Gurley, the

1207
01:04:30,320 --> 01:04:34,520
Speaker 1: Running Shoot with Lorenzo white Um, they had some that's

1208
01:04:34,560 --> 01:04:36,600
Speaker 1: the key. You can do it and you can throw

1209
01:04:36,640 --> 01:04:38,400
Speaker 1: it down every down, and that's one of the reasons

1210
01:04:38,440 --> 01:04:41,160
Speaker 1: why the San Diego Chargers, you know, kind of struggled.

1211
01:04:41,360 --> 01:04:44,880
Speaker 1: They Dan dan Foux wouldn't hand it off, right, forget it,

1212
01:04:45,520 --> 01:04:47,120
Speaker 1: So go all the way back to the forty nine

1213
01:04:47,200 --> 01:04:50,400
Speaker 1: ers with Roger Craig. That's right. So at some point

1214
01:04:50,440 --> 01:04:52,560
Speaker 1: you can spread it out all you want at some point.

1215
01:04:53,480 --> 01:04:57,760
Speaker 1: And Dan Henning, great defensive coordinator, was here my nineteen

1216
01:04:57,880 --> 01:05:01,760
Speaker 1: ninety seven, I think my last year. He said, that's great,

1217
01:05:01,800 --> 01:05:03,480
Speaker 1: it's all really good. I love you throw. He goes,

1218
01:05:03,520 --> 01:05:05,800
Speaker 1: what are you gonna do when you got a lineup

1219
01:05:06,160 --> 01:05:08,920
Speaker 1: and you got to kick somebody's behind? Yeah, now what

1220
01:05:09,000 --> 01:05:10,120
Speaker 1: are you going to? And I think that's what coach

1221
01:05:10,200 --> 01:05:12,640
Speaker 1: McDermot is thinking about right now, because he was he

1222
01:05:12,840 --> 01:05:15,680
Speaker 1: was not happy that this offense could not run the

1223
01:05:15,720 --> 01:05:20,000
Speaker 1: football effectively against Cover two. Your passing game is so good,

1224
01:05:20,320 --> 01:05:23,360
Speaker 1: it's got the respect of the opposing defense. You've got

1225
01:05:23,440 --> 01:05:26,160
Speaker 1: seven man boxes, more than you've probably ever seen in

1226
01:05:26,240 --> 01:05:29,040
Speaker 1: the McDermott tenure here, and you can't run against a

1227
01:05:29,080 --> 01:05:31,560
Speaker 1: seven man box. That's a problem, and they have to

1228
01:05:31,640 --> 01:05:35,400
Speaker 1: get it rectified because otherwise everybody's just gonna play Cover

1229
01:05:35,480 --> 01:05:37,640
Speaker 1: two and say, all you the only way you scare

1230
01:05:37,680 --> 01:05:39,919
Speaker 1: us is by throwing the football so we're just gonna

1231
01:05:39,920 --> 01:05:42,240
Speaker 1: play cover two, keep everything in front of us, and

1232
01:05:42,560 --> 01:05:44,600
Speaker 1: until you show you can run against the seven man box.

1233
01:05:44,880 --> 01:05:46,440
Speaker 1: This is how we're gonna play it. Listen. That's what

1234
01:05:46,600 --> 01:05:49,720
Speaker 1: the Bills did all of last year. Yeah, they gave up.

1235
01:05:49,920 --> 01:05:51,640
Speaker 1: They were like, you can run it on us. We'll

1236
01:05:51,720 --> 01:05:54,440
Speaker 1: let you do it. We'll stop you for two four

1237
01:05:54,560 --> 01:05:57,600
Speaker 1: yard gains or two three yard gains. And now it's

1238
01:05:57,640 --> 01:06:00,880
Speaker 1: third and four, third and five, and we're gonna win. There.

1239
01:06:01,200 --> 01:06:04,120
Speaker 1: See what you now? Now you got you're throwing. You

1240
01:06:04,120 --> 01:06:05,600
Speaker 1: gotta throw it? Now, what are you gonna do? And

1241
01:06:05,760 --> 01:06:10,120
Speaker 1: that's they and they may convert one, yeah, but the

1242
01:06:10,200 --> 01:06:12,840
Speaker 1: next one they're not going to. So it's that's what

1243
01:06:12,960 --> 01:06:14,720
Speaker 1: teams did to the Bills last year, and that's what

1244
01:06:14,840 --> 01:06:17,920
Speaker 1: this Bill's defense did uh to people last year. And

1245
01:06:17,960 --> 01:06:20,160
Speaker 1: it worked. It worked very well. We want to flip

1246
01:06:20,200 --> 01:06:22,640
Speaker 1: it around and talk about Buffalo's defense because we know

1247
01:06:22,720 --> 01:06:25,080
Speaker 1: they had their share of issues in the game against

1248
01:06:25,120 --> 01:06:27,280
Speaker 1: the Titans and quite frankly, in some other games so

1249
01:06:27,360 --> 01:06:30,680
Speaker 1: far this season. So Leslie Frasier addressed the media as

1250
01:06:30,720 --> 01:06:33,960
Speaker 1: he normally does the day after games, along with offensive

1251
01:06:33,960 --> 01:06:36,880
Speaker 1: coordinator Brian Dable and coach McDermott does as well, kind

1252
01:06:36,880 --> 01:06:41,040
Speaker 1: of the post mortem, and uh, coach Frasier was great yesterday.

1253
01:06:41,040 --> 01:06:43,840
Speaker 1: I gotta say just he's just so self effacing with

1254
01:06:43,920 --> 01:06:46,160
Speaker 1: the media as I mean, he just gives it to

1255
01:06:46,200 --> 01:06:49,240
Speaker 1: you straight and it's very refreshing. So here is Coach

1256
01:06:49,320 --> 01:06:53,720
Speaker 1: Frasier talking about the coverage issues on defense that we've

1257
01:06:53,760 --> 01:06:57,880
Speaker 1: seen of late. Well, it's a combination of a few things.

1258
01:06:58,000 --> 01:07:02,960
Speaker 1: Met being able to play man coverage. We've struggled with

1259
01:07:03,000 --> 01:07:05,840
Speaker 1: that a little bit. We've even struggled in our zones

1260
01:07:05,880 --> 01:07:10,080
Speaker 1: at time. So you need a combination of rush and

1261
01:07:10,120 --> 01:07:13,240
Speaker 1: coverage to work together in order to have success and

1262
01:07:13,400 --> 01:07:17,040
Speaker 1: pass defense, and we haven't been able to consistently put

1263
01:07:17,120 --> 01:07:19,960
Speaker 1: that together yet, and so we'll keep working at it

1264
01:07:20,600 --> 01:07:22,160
Speaker 1: because you have to be able to play some man

1265
01:07:22,240 --> 01:07:24,400
Speaker 1: in our league, and you have to be able to

1266
01:07:24,480 --> 01:07:26,640
Speaker 1: mix in zone and have success as well. But that

1267
01:07:26,760 --> 01:07:30,120
Speaker 1: comes back to your ability to be able to rush

1268
01:07:30,160 --> 01:07:32,920
Speaker 1: and not let the quarterback hold the ball as long

1269
01:07:33,000 --> 01:07:35,320
Speaker 1: as he has at times, and then being able to

1270
01:07:35,360 --> 01:07:38,840
Speaker 1: get that tight coverage or having his own awareness to

1271
01:07:39,000 --> 01:07:40,960
Speaker 1: make him have to hold the football a little bit

1272
01:07:41,040 --> 01:07:43,440
Speaker 1: longer to buy our rush some time. So we just

1273
01:07:43,560 --> 01:07:46,640
Speaker 1: haven't been able to put that together as consistently as

1274
01:07:46,680 --> 01:07:49,200
Speaker 1: we need to, and it's something we'll have to continue

1275
01:07:49,200 --> 01:07:54,920
Speaker 1: to work on. Coach did say the reason that that

1276
01:07:55,760 --> 01:08:00,560
Speaker 1: continuity has not been there yet is because of all

1277
01:08:01,200 --> 01:08:05,640
Speaker 1: the new faces. So here is coach on making progress

1278
01:08:06,120 --> 01:08:11,240
Speaker 1: in building on field chemistry on that side of the ball. Yeah,

1279
01:08:11,360 --> 01:08:15,080
Speaker 1: it's a good point. You know, we've steadily been trying

1280
01:08:15,160 --> 01:08:18,519
Speaker 1: to build that chemistry, both in the classroom as well

1281
01:08:18,600 --> 01:08:21,880
Speaker 1: as on the field, and it's probably taking us a

1282
01:08:21,920 --> 01:08:23,600
Speaker 1: little bit longer than we would have liked, but a

1283
01:08:23,680 --> 01:08:25,800
Speaker 1: lot of it has to do with the way the

1284
01:08:25,920 --> 01:08:29,800
Speaker 1: preseason went or the lack of a preseason occurred, and

1285
01:08:29,960 --> 01:08:32,200
Speaker 1: so we're trying to build that chemistry because that's a

1286
01:08:32,240 --> 01:08:35,120
Speaker 1: big part of the success of a unit where they

1287
01:08:35,240 --> 01:08:37,360
Speaker 1: kind of feed off of each other and they have

1288
01:08:37,720 --> 01:08:40,000
Speaker 1: a presence about one another where they know, you kind

1289
01:08:40,040 --> 01:08:42,280
Speaker 1: of know what this guy's gonna do even before he

1290
01:08:42,360 --> 01:08:46,000
Speaker 1: does it. And we just haven't found that symmetry yet

1291
01:08:46,800 --> 01:08:49,680
Speaker 1: amongst our d line. And hopefully this will be the

1292
01:08:49,720 --> 01:08:52,479
Speaker 1: week because we're gonna need it for sure. So this

1293
01:08:52,640 --> 01:08:55,800
Speaker 1: is what you know. He pretty much admits that the

1294
01:08:55,920 --> 01:08:59,440
Speaker 1: new faces and the lack of a preseason have compromised

1295
01:08:59,560 --> 01:09:02,040
Speaker 1: their ability to play off one another. I mean, you

1296
01:09:02,160 --> 01:09:05,880
Speaker 1: think about the changes up front over the last two years.

1297
01:09:06,000 --> 01:09:09,080
Speaker 1: You know, Kyle Williams was the only subtraction after the

1298
01:09:09,160 --> 01:09:12,960
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen season, you know, and then last year. Now

1299
01:09:13,040 --> 01:09:15,560
Speaker 1: you take Phillips and Lawson out of the equation and

1300
01:09:15,640 --> 01:09:18,000
Speaker 1: to a certain extent, Lorenzo Alexander, who was in their

1301
01:09:18,040 --> 01:09:21,360
Speaker 1: turbo pass rush package. That's three that you took out

1302
01:09:21,400 --> 01:09:23,960
Speaker 1: of the equation, and now you plugged three new ones

1303
01:09:24,000 --> 01:09:28,639
Speaker 1: in or four. Really, it's Epinessa, it's Quentin Jefferson, it's

1304
01:09:28,720 --> 01:09:31,920
Speaker 1: Mario Addison, it's Vernon Butler. I mean, that's almost half

1305
01:09:32,000 --> 01:09:35,800
Speaker 1: of your defensive line is brand new, and these guys

1306
01:09:35,920 --> 01:09:39,040
Speaker 1: just don't know. I mean, Leslie talked about it a

1307
01:09:39,080 --> 01:09:42,559
Speaker 1: little bit further in the conference call where he basically said,

1308
01:09:43,439 --> 01:09:45,200
Speaker 1: two years ago, we just had guys that would give

1309
01:09:45,200 --> 01:09:48,280
Speaker 1: each other a look before the snap and they knew

1310
01:09:48,280 --> 01:09:49,880
Speaker 1: what each other was doing. He's like, we don't have

1311
01:09:50,120 --> 01:09:54,000
Speaker 1: that yet, and that slows you down right, It doesn't

1312
01:09:54,080 --> 01:09:56,519
Speaker 1: make you as effective. You maybe don't play as fast

1313
01:09:56,680 --> 01:10:01,160
Speaker 1: right right, absolutely, and it makes you less confident. Yeah,

1314
01:10:01,200 --> 01:10:03,080
Speaker 1: about what you're doing. You want to do this thing,

1315
01:10:03,160 --> 01:10:05,160
Speaker 1: so you do it, and all the while you're thinking,

1316
01:10:05,280 --> 01:10:07,840
Speaker 1: I hope he I hope he knows what I'm doing, right,

1317
01:10:07,840 --> 01:10:11,240
Speaker 1: because if we don't, we're done. That kind of mindset

1318
01:10:11,320 --> 01:10:13,080
Speaker 1: is up there. I've never I never played defense, so

1319
01:10:13,080 --> 01:10:14,840
Speaker 1: I don't know the ins and outs of how that works.

1320
01:10:14,880 --> 01:10:18,040
Speaker 1: But that's all they talk about. Sometimes you'll have guys

1321
01:10:18,120 --> 01:10:20,160
Speaker 1: come off, and the last year was no exception. Before

1322
01:10:20,360 --> 01:10:23,360
Speaker 1: Harrison Phillips went down to injury, it was it was

1323
01:10:23,680 --> 01:10:26,280
Speaker 1: you have a guy in there who makes calls and

1324
01:10:28,160 --> 01:10:31,080
Speaker 1: everybody just knows. Halfway through the call, they know, yeah, okay,

1325
01:10:31,160 --> 01:10:32,760
Speaker 1: let's do it. I know exactly what he's doing, and

1326
01:10:32,880 --> 01:10:36,160
Speaker 1: I get it. When you've got a bunch of strangers

1327
01:10:36,200 --> 01:10:40,720
Speaker 1: out there, basically, football wise, it's gonna take some time. Right.

1328
01:10:40,880 --> 01:10:43,479
Speaker 1: And on top of that, I asked coach Frasier early

1329
01:10:43,560 --> 01:10:46,160
Speaker 1: in the season. I said, hey, look, Kyle Williams would

1330
01:10:46,200 --> 01:10:48,400
Speaker 1: call all your pass rush games a few years ago.

1331
01:10:49,080 --> 01:10:51,920
Speaker 1: Last year you had Harrison Phillips and Lorenzo Alexander doing it.

1332
01:10:52,120 --> 01:10:54,240
Speaker 1: It was their responsibility. I said, how are you handling

1333
01:10:54,280 --> 01:10:56,760
Speaker 1: it this year? And he said, it's going to be

1334
01:10:56,840 --> 01:11:00,240
Speaker 1: a group effort, And I said to myself, Oh, well,

1335
01:11:00,320 --> 01:11:03,360
Speaker 1: maybe the reason he's doing that is because last year

1336
01:11:03,520 --> 01:11:05,400
Speaker 1: it was Harrison Phillips. He gets hurt in week three

1337
01:11:05,479 --> 01:11:07,040
Speaker 1: and now it's got a fall to somebody else and

1338
01:11:07,080 --> 01:11:08,479
Speaker 1: he doesn't want to go down that road again. So

1339
01:11:08,560 --> 01:11:10,960
Speaker 1: maybe he wants multiple guys that know how to do it.

1340
01:11:11,479 --> 01:11:15,759
Speaker 1: But yeah, at the same time, now you've got multiple

1341
01:11:15,800 --> 01:11:18,040
Speaker 1: guys doing it, maybe they're thinking different things based on

1342
01:11:18,120 --> 01:11:20,720
Speaker 1: what they're seeing. Everybody interprets it differently. I think what

1343
01:11:20,840 --> 01:11:23,800
Speaker 1: they're probably doing, they're saying, letting multiple guys do it

1344
01:11:23,800 --> 01:11:25,559
Speaker 1: because I got some guys with some experience up there,

1345
01:11:25,760 --> 01:11:29,640
Speaker 1: despite their luck, they haven't played together. Addison Butler, Jefferson,

1346
01:11:30,439 --> 01:11:32,880
Speaker 1: Jerry Hughes, Trent Murphy, all these guys that you know,

1347
01:11:32,960 --> 01:11:35,519
Speaker 1: they're they're veterans, but they haven't played together as a unit.

1348
01:11:35,960 --> 01:11:39,160
Speaker 1: I think what he's what I would think he's doing.

1349
01:11:40,360 --> 01:11:43,200
Speaker 1: They're saying, we'll let him be a group effort, and

1350
01:11:43,320 --> 01:11:45,640
Speaker 1: then they're letting it sift out because then later on

1351
01:11:45,720 --> 01:11:47,640
Speaker 1: they'll say, Okay, now you start calling it here, who

1352
01:11:47,720 --> 01:11:50,080
Speaker 1: keeps making the right calls? Right? Who who gets the

1353
01:11:50,160 --> 01:11:51,680
Speaker 1: most out of it? And then when they come off

1354
01:11:51,720 --> 01:11:53,479
Speaker 1: the field, they say, yeah, that was great, and they

1355
01:11:53,520 --> 01:11:57,479
Speaker 1: start and they and actually the players all decide who's

1356
01:11:57,520 --> 01:11:59,280
Speaker 1: going to do it right. I believe this guy knows

1357
01:11:59,280 --> 01:12:01,400
Speaker 1: what the hell he's doing when he says something, I'm

1358
01:12:01,600 --> 01:12:04,880
Speaker 1: taking it to the bank. I think that's kind of

1359
01:12:05,000 --> 01:12:08,080
Speaker 1: what you see guys doing the preseason. Coaches, you said, well,

1360
01:12:08,120 --> 01:12:10,000
Speaker 1: go out there and let's tell you you make the

1361
01:12:10,040 --> 01:12:12,240
Speaker 1: calls this series. Let's have you make the calls this series.

1362
01:12:12,680 --> 01:12:14,759
Speaker 1: Let's see what you guys think about this this series,

1363
01:12:15,240 --> 01:12:17,080
Speaker 1: and then you evolve from there and get to a

1364
01:12:17,120 --> 01:12:19,240
Speaker 1: point where, well, now what we're doing after a month,

1365
01:12:19,880 --> 01:12:22,000
Speaker 1: he's just making all the calls. So in an effort

1366
01:12:22,640 --> 01:12:27,839
Speaker 1: to get that chemistry faster, coach Fraser and his defensive

1367
01:12:27,880 --> 01:12:32,600
Speaker 1: staff and probably coach McDermott as well, met yesterday and

1368
01:12:33,160 --> 01:12:36,320
Speaker 1: they are trying to come to a conclusion, you know,

1369
01:12:36,400 --> 01:12:39,960
Speaker 1: a consensus as to who their best pass rushers are

1370
01:12:41,360 --> 01:12:44,000
Speaker 1: in combination. Not just hey, this is the best pass

1371
01:12:44,080 --> 01:12:46,920
Speaker 1: rusher on the team, but this guy's really good, but

1372
01:12:47,000 --> 01:12:50,320
Speaker 1: who is he really good with? And they want to

1373
01:12:50,360 --> 01:12:52,960
Speaker 1: go with the best combination going forward and play that

1374
01:12:53,200 --> 01:12:58,320
Speaker 1: group more than rotating as much as they have through

1375
01:12:58,400 --> 01:13:01,000
Speaker 1: the first few weeks. Here is a coach Raiser's comment

1376
01:13:01,080 --> 01:13:05,160
Speaker 1: on all of that. You sound like we were sitting

1377
01:13:05,160 --> 01:13:07,320
Speaker 1: in our coaching staff meeting, because that's exactly what we

1378
01:13:07,439 --> 01:13:12,120
Speaker 1: talked about, just identifying who our best rushers are and

1379
01:13:12,320 --> 01:13:15,880
Speaker 1: maybe shrinking that rotation a little bit because we're not

1380
01:13:16,200 --> 01:13:18,840
Speaker 1: really getting what we want right now, and that's that's

1381
01:13:18,880 --> 01:13:20,519
Speaker 1: going to be a big part of our success as

1382
01:13:20,560 --> 01:13:22,479
Speaker 1: we try to turn the corner as a defense. So

1383
01:13:22,960 --> 01:13:24,960
Speaker 1: it's something we're talking about and we're looking at, and

1384
01:13:25,360 --> 01:13:27,360
Speaker 1: you know, we'll probably make some decisions here real soon,

1385
01:13:28,080 --> 01:13:31,559
Speaker 1: so we might not see as heavier rotation going forward,

1386
01:13:31,680 --> 01:13:34,960
Speaker 1: provided they find the right combination that they think will

1387
01:13:35,040 --> 01:13:38,479
Speaker 1: work more effectively in getting pressure on opposing quarterbacks. Because Steve,

1388
01:13:38,880 --> 01:13:41,479
Speaker 1: it's not just about sacks. This defense has been very

1389
01:13:41,560 --> 01:13:45,879
Speaker 1: successful just moving the quarterback off his spots or hurrying

1390
01:13:45,960 --> 01:13:48,920
Speaker 1: a throw, and they're not even doing that with a

1391
01:13:49,000 --> 01:13:52,680
Speaker 1: great level of success right now. Well, not against the

1392
01:13:52,720 --> 01:13:56,719
Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans. They did a little bit better against the Raiders,

1393
01:13:56,800 --> 01:13:59,280
Speaker 1: but yea, we saw some signs of life against the Raiders.

1394
01:13:59,560 --> 01:14:02,960
Speaker 1: The tie, I think was a different kind of game

1395
01:14:03,040 --> 01:14:06,720
Speaker 1: for so many reasons, But you're right. I think they'll

1396
01:14:06,760 --> 01:14:10,400
Speaker 1: probably tighten up the snap counts. That will say a

1397
01:14:10,479 --> 01:14:14,880
Speaker 1: lot about who they like and who and where they

1398
01:14:14,960 --> 01:14:16,960
Speaker 1: play those guys and who they're playing with, you know,

1399
01:14:17,040 --> 01:14:19,320
Speaker 1: which four guys they've got in there, and then when

1400
01:14:19,360 --> 01:14:21,320
Speaker 1: they're not in there, what are the other four guys

1401
01:14:21,479 --> 01:14:24,160
Speaker 1: that are coming in? And do they have one guys?

1402
01:14:24,200 --> 01:14:26,599
Speaker 1: For instance, I don't know if a Jerry Hughes takes

1403
01:14:26,840 --> 01:14:29,040
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, he's taken eighty five percent of

1404
01:14:29,080 --> 01:14:32,720
Speaker 1: the defensive snaps, but he's taken it with five other

1405
01:14:32,840 --> 01:14:35,479
Speaker 1: defensive linemen instead of just three. You know, there's two

1406
01:14:35,520 --> 01:14:37,439
Speaker 1: guys they rotate in with Jerry, you know what I mean.

1407
01:14:38,040 --> 01:14:40,519
Speaker 1: So they'll they'll start looking at that, and you'll start

1408
01:14:40,640 --> 01:14:42,840
Speaker 1: noticing on the snap counts who they like and who

1409
01:14:43,880 --> 01:14:47,920
Speaker 1: and who's getting pushed out. We will take a break now,

1410
01:14:48,120 --> 01:14:51,160
Speaker 1: but when we return. One more comment from coach Fraser

1411
01:14:51,479 --> 01:14:54,320
Speaker 1: as he was asked about the play of Tremaine Edmonds.

1412
01:14:54,360 --> 01:14:56,559
Speaker 1: We know we got a lot of phone calls about

1413
01:14:56,600 --> 01:14:58,680
Speaker 1: the play of Tremaine Edmonds the last few weeks and

1414
01:14:58,800 --> 01:15:01,880
Speaker 1: how he hasn't flashed or made an impact on games

1415
01:15:02,200 --> 01:15:04,559
Speaker 1: to the liking of a lot of the Bills fans.

1416
01:15:05,400 --> 01:15:08,639
Speaker 1: Coach had a very interesting answer on that very subject,

1417
01:15:08,680 --> 01:15:10,680
Speaker 1: So we'll get to that when we return here on

1418
01:15:10,760 --> 01:15:13,200
Speaker 1: One Bills Live, presented by Kalid to Health. This is

1419
01:15:13,240 --> 01:15:28,120
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill's Radio. See I d Asker Chris Brown. Our

1420
01:15:28,280 --> 01:15:31,200
Speaker 1: number two of the program well underway as we have

1421
01:15:31,760 --> 01:15:34,760
Speaker 1: passed midfield on a Thursday edition of One Bills Live,

1422
01:15:35,520 --> 01:15:37,479
Speaker 1: and we'll get back to the phones in a second

1423
01:15:37,560 --> 01:15:41,840
Speaker 1: here at eight fifty as we are asking you what

1424
01:15:42,040 --> 01:15:47,160
Speaker 1: the bills biggest need is for their game with the Chiefs.

1425
01:15:47,680 --> 01:15:50,479
Speaker 1: More pressure on Pat Mahomes, a return of the injured players,

1426
01:15:50,800 --> 01:15:53,320
Speaker 1: a bounce back game by the offense, or something else.

1427
01:15:53,720 --> 01:15:55,920
Speaker 1: So hit us up at one Bills Live on the

1428
01:15:55,920 --> 01:15:59,160
Speaker 1: tweet sheet or give us a call e three fifty.

1429
01:15:59,160 --> 01:16:01,160
Speaker 1: We're also talking of beon Bell, so weigh in on

1430
01:16:01,240 --> 01:16:04,360
Speaker 1: that as well at your leisure at eight oh three,

1431
01:16:04,680 --> 01:16:07,000
Speaker 1: five fifty. But we wanted to get back to one

1432
01:16:07,080 --> 01:16:10,320
Speaker 1: last comment from coach Frasier's press conference on I was

1433
01:16:10,320 --> 01:16:12,240
Speaker 1: gonna say Monday because he usually talks on Monday, but

1434
01:16:12,280 --> 01:16:16,160
Speaker 1: it was Wednesday. Man, These rescheduled games are really gonna

1435
01:16:16,200 --> 01:16:18,760
Speaker 1: bite me in the rear end here um. So here

1436
01:16:18,880 --> 01:16:24,080
Speaker 1: is coach Frasier addressing the concerns about Tremaine Edmond's play,

1437
01:16:24,160 --> 01:16:26,719
Speaker 1: and I thought he was very honest in his response.

1438
01:16:26,800 --> 01:16:31,320
Speaker 1: So here is Coach Frasier on Tremaine. Well, probably the

1439
01:16:31,560 --> 01:16:35,000
Speaker 1: biggest thing is his physicality, and you know, obviously a

1440
01:16:35,040 --> 01:16:37,040
Speaker 1: lot of it has to do with the shoulder injury,

1441
01:16:37,680 --> 01:16:40,280
Speaker 1: just being able to throw his body around like he

1442
01:16:40,520 --> 01:16:44,240
Speaker 1: ordinarily would. You could see it a little bit in

1443
01:16:44,320 --> 01:16:46,599
Speaker 1: the Raiders game that he was getting back to form,

1444
01:16:46,720 --> 01:16:50,040
Speaker 1: and there's some indications even last night that he's getting

1445
01:16:50,080 --> 01:16:52,679
Speaker 1: closer to getting back to the forum that he finished

1446
01:16:52,680 --> 01:16:55,240
Speaker 1: the season with. He's not quite there yet, but his

1447
01:16:55,360 --> 01:16:58,679
Speaker 1: confidence is growing as he's getting stronger and more physically

1448
01:16:58,720 --> 01:17:01,759
Speaker 1: able to use his hands and punch the offensive lineman

1449
01:17:01,800 --> 01:17:04,600
Speaker 1: and then get off of blocks. But the fact that

1450
01:17:04,680 --> 01:17:06,599
Speaker 1: he's out there, even though he may not be playing

1451
01:17:06,640 --> 01:17:10,240
Speaker 1: at the high level that we're accustomed to, his presence

1452
01:17:10,280 --> 01:17:12,760
Speaker 1: still means a lot to us. Madden the huddle and

1453
01:17:13,080 --> 01:17:15,240
Speaker 1: the physical part is going to come. We just need

1454
01:17:15,280 --> 01:17:18,120
Speaker 1: a little bit more time, but we need him out there.

1455
01:17:19,080 --> 01:17:23,200
Speaker 1: So it sounds Steve like eventually Tremaine Emmons is going

1456
01:17:23,240 --> 01:17:25,320
Speaker 1: to be one hundred percent healthy in his return from

1457
01:17:25,360 --> 01:17:28,400
Speaker 1: this injury. Now, I know you don't play, you didn't

1458
01:17:28,400 --> 01:17:30,040
Speaker 1: play on the defensive side of the ball, but you

1459
01:17:30,160 --> 01:17:32,800
Speaker 1: know about using your hands and getting away from people

1460
01:17:32,880 --> 01:17:36,160
Speaker 1: just by you know, being a gunner and stuff. When

1461
01:17:36,280 --> 01:17:40,360
Speaker 1: you have a shoulder injury and you can't extend and

1462
01:17:40,640 --> 01:17:44,360
Speaker 1: punch with any force, how the hell are you getting

1463
01:17:44,400 --> 01:17:47,439
Speaker 1: off a block? Right? I think it's telling that Leslie

1464
01:17:48,800 --> 01:17:52,960
Speaker 1: when he watches Tremaine, he sees the difference in it

1465
01:17:53,040 --> 01:17:56,040
Speaker 1: because of his shoulder. That says a lot. Because he

1466
01:17:56,120 --> 01:17:58,840
Speaker 1: watches the guy you know well has seen him when

1467
01:17:58,840 --> 01:18:00,280
Speaker 1: he's healthy and sees when he's not. He knows what

1468
01:18:00,360 --> 01:18:01,920
Speaker 1: he's looking at. And that's why I'm saying, like, we

1469
01:18:02,000 --> 01:18:04,759
Speaker 1: get all these calls saying Tremaine can't get off blocks,

1470
01:18:04,880 --> 01:18:07,599
Speaker 1: he can't get to his assigned gap. Well, this kind

1471
01:18:07,600 --> 01:18:10,639
Speaker 1: of helps explain why, right, Yeah, there's no doubt about it. Yeah,

1472
01:18:10,840 --> 01:18:13,840
Speaker 1: we suspected and kind of figured that his shoulder was

1473
01:18:13,880 --> 01:18:16,200
Speaker 1: not one hundred percent and Leslie is saying, yeah, he's not,

1474
01:18:16,960 --> 01:18:20,800
Speaker 1: And that's you can he's not doing some things that

1475
01:18:20,960 --> 01:18:23,600
Speaker 1: Leslie Frasier has seen Tremaine Edmunds do a lot in

1476
01:18:23,640 --> 01:18:25,599
Speaker 1: the first couple of years. He's not doing those now,

1477
01:18:25,640 --> 01:18:28,120
Speaker 1: and that's why his play is suffering and he's not

1478
01:18:28,200 --> 01:18:30,519
Speaker 1: doing him because of his shoulder. It's that simple, and

1479
01:18:31,800 --> 01:18:35,720
Speaker 1: it's kind of it's kind of a bummer. Didn't know

1480
01:18:35,800 --> 01:18:36,960
Speaker 1: that you got a guy out there who's not a

1481
01:18:36,960 --> 01:18:39,439
Speaker 1: one hundred percent But you know, like Leslie Fraser said,

1482
01:18:39,520 --> 01:18:44,040
Speaker 1: I mean, he he's important out there, and yeah, so

1483
01:18:44,160 --> 01:18:46,760
Speaker 1: I'm I'm he's getting better. I think that's a good thing.

1484
01:18:46,840 --> 01:18:50,240
Speaker 1: And that's also you know for me. Gosh, I feel

1485
01:18:50,320 --> 01:18:53,040
Speaker 1: for him because you really want to play your best

1486
01:18:53,120 --> 01:18:58,840
Speaker 1: all the time, but it's more important to play sometimes

1487
01:18:58,920 --> 01:19:00,920
Speaker 1: even if you're not at yours, Like a seventy five

1488
01:19:01,880 --> 01:19:04,880
Speaker 1: is better than Yeah, but plus seventy five percent of

1489
01:19:04,920 --> 01:19:07,000
Speaker 1: Tremaine Edmonds, just him being out there brings one hundred

1490
01:19:07,040 --> 01:19:10,120
Speaker 1: percent out of other guys. Yeah, where they were, they

1491
01:19:10,160 --> 01:19:13,200
Speaker 1: would be unsure, you know, not as confident and whoever

1492
01:19:13,280 --> 01:19:15,360
Speaker 1: else was out there or whatever else the defense was doing.

1493
01:19:15,760 --> 01:19:18,360
Speaker 1: So I'm yeah, it's it's hard to be in that

1494
01:19:18,479 --> 01:19:20,519
Speaker 1: spot as a player. You know, you're not one hundred

1495
01:19:20,560 --> 01:19:24,240
Speaker 1: percent and people are noticing and they're not blaming it

1496
01:19:24,320 --> 01:19:26,800
Speaker 1: on your shoulder. Yeah, they're blaming it on that you're

1497
01:19:26,840 --> 01:19:30,559
Speaker 1: just not a very good football player. Sometimes that's tough

1498
01:19:30,600 --> 01:19:32,360
Speaker 1: to take. That's pretty hard to take. Eight oh three

1499
01:19:32,640 --> 01:19:35,680
Speaker 1: five fifty one fifty two five fifty Back to the

1500
01:19:35,760 --> 01:19:38,000
Speaker 1: phones and when you go to Butch on the east side, Butch,

1501
01:19:38,000 --> 01:19:40,280
Speaker 1: how you doing, Thanks for joining us, Thanks for taking

1502
01:19:40,360 --> 01:19:42,400
Speaker 1: my called Chris and Steve, and thanks to Joe for

1503
01:19:42,479 --> 01:19:44,680
Speaker 1: being a true professional and the show in respect. I

1504
01:19:44,760 --> 01:19:47,760
Speaker 1: really appreciate that I got two things. Uh, Steve, you

1505
01:19:47,880 --> 01:19:50,360
Speaker 1: brought up. You brought up Corny has been his name earlier.

1506
01:19:50,640 --> 01:19:52,720
Speaker 1: And it's really strange that you brought up his name

1507
01:19:52,760 --> 01:19:55,000
Speaker 1: because I was talking to him over the weekend and

1508
01:19:55,080 --> 01:19:57,200
Speaker 1: he was asking me about how my uncle Douglas was

1509
01:19:57,240 --> 01:20:00,400
Speaker 1: who east to him Thurman and bruising him. Guys always

1510
01:20:00,439 --> 01:20:02,640
Speaker 1: come up the leaves barbecue all the time, and they

1511
01:20:02,680 --> 01:20:04,720
Speaker 1: saw always go fishing, and I was telling he made

1512
01:20:04,760 --> 01:20:07,200
Speaker 1: homemade wine and he was doing great. The reason why

1513
01:20:07,240 --> 01:20:08,920
Speaker 1: I brought that up is because we were talking about

1514
01:20:08,960 --> 01:20:12,360
Speaker 1: Levion Bell and I remember back when we have se

1515
01:20:12,439 --> 01:20:17,360
Speaker 1: we got Shane Colin as a linebacker. We pulled off

1516
01:20:17,400 --> 01:20:19,840
Speaker 1: a blockbuster and we got Cornellius been It as the

1517
01:20:19,920 --> 01:20:22,720
Speaker 1: same way, and this year on our offensive side of

1518
01:20:22,800 --> 01:20:25,759
Speaker 1: the ball, we went ahead and we got Stefan Diggs.

1519
01:20:26,840 --> 01:20:31,200
Speaker 1: We've struck gold with Gabriel Davis, and we our offensive

1520
01:20:31,240 --> 01:20:34,400
Speaker 1: line is solid, a good pass blocking offensive line. And

1521
01:20:34,520 --> 01:20:37,640
Speaker 1: I really think, like you said, Chris, moving forward with

1522
01:20:37,760 --> 01:20:39,560
Speaker 1: the way the weather has changed, and you need that

1523
01:20:39,680 --> 01:20:42,799
Speaker 1: running game going. And I think Levion Bell runs between

1524
01:20:42,880 --> 01:20:46,439
Speaker 1: the tackles. He's a good pass blocker. He knows how

1525
01:20:46,520 --> 01:20:48,840
Speaker 1: to catch the ball out of the backfield. He would

1526
01:20:48,840 --> 01:20:51,679
Speaker 1: be good for the young players like a single single

1527
01:20:51,760 --> 01:20:55,439
Speaker 1: Tarry and Zack Mass in the locker room because he's

1528
01:20:55,439 --> 01:20:58,280
Speaker 1: a veteran and at the zac same time using Zack

1529
01:20:58,360 --> 01:21:01,559
Speaker 1: Mass that so injury he has, that's not an easy injury.

1530
01:21:01,640 --> 01:21:03,640
Speaker 1: You don't overget. Steve. You a player, you know what

1531
01:21:03,680 --> 01:21:06,080
Speaker 1: I'm talking about. When you get that toe injury, that's

1532
01:21:06,120 --> 01:21:08,080
Speaker 1: not necessarily saying that you're going on the back and

1533
01:21:08,160 --> 01:21:10,560
Speaker 1: be back full straight right away. So that's something to

1534
01:21:10,600 --> 01:21:12,800
Speaker 1: look at now. The last thing is the last time

1535
01:21:12,840 --> 01:21:14,640
Speaker 1: I spoke with you guys, I was speaking about the

1536
01:21:14,760 --> 01:21:17,200
Speaker 1: D line, and I remember I was telling you about

1537
01:21:17,280 --> 01:21:20,960
Speaker 1: Daryl Johnson in that particularly, Daryl Johnson had an outstanding game.

1538
01:21:21,320 --> 01:21:23,920
Speaker 1: You guys brought him on the show, and I'm saying,

1539
01:21:24,040 --> 01:21:27,560
Speaker 1: moving forward, to get pressure on Patrick Mahomes. You have

1540
01:21:27,680 --> 01:21:29,800
Speaker 1: to play this young kid. He's not gonna be like

1541
01:21:29,840 --> 01:21:32,599
Speaker 1: a slice of bread. Everybody was slicing it. You guys

1542
01:21:32,640 --> 01:21:35,040
Speaker 1: watched the game. All the d ends on that left

1543
01:21:35,080 --> 01:21:38,320
Speaker 1: side was slicing, slicing, slicing, and he were running right

1544
01:21:38,360 --> 01:21:40,599
Speaker 1: around him for him for the score or first down

1545
01:21:40,680 --> 01:21:43,200
Speaker 1: or whatever it is. This guy plays his lanes. He

1546
01:21:43,280 --> 01:21:45,320
Speaker 1: puts his hands in the lanes, and you're gonna need

1547
01:21:45,360 --> 01:21:47,640
Speaker 1: a guy like him. But but moving forward with this

1548
01:21:47,800 --> 01:21:51,400
Speaker 1: late Levian Bill, Buffalo Bills, pay that money, get him

1549
01:21:51,439 --> 01:21:54,600
Speaker 1: in here, be playing on November. We have we have,

1550
01:21:55,200 --> 01:21:58,160
Speaker 1: we have New England, we have Seattle, we have Arizona,

1551
01:21:58,600 --> 01:22:00,920
Speaker 1: and we have we need this guy in our backfield

1552
01:22:01,240 --> 01:22:04,280
Speaker 1: to run between the tackles. I love you guys, You

1553
01:22:04,400 --> 01:22:06,080
Speaker 1: have a great day. Thank you so much to take

1554
01:22:06,120 --> 01:22:09,160
Speaker 1: him on call. Thanks Butch, I appreciate it. Um, there's

1555
01:22:09,160 --> 01:22:14,479
Speaker 1: a lot in there where we'll start. Well, let's let's

1556
01:22:14,640 --> 01:22:17,479
Speaker 1: let's start here. Bam Johnson. Okay, he brings him up,

1557
01:22:18,160 --> 01:22:20,479
Speaker 1: and you know, I thought he played a steady game

1558
01:22:20,840 --> 01:22:25,240
Speaker 1: last week. He did miss read a screenplay. He thought

1559
01:22:25,280 --> 01:22:27,680
Speaker 1: he had a free run at Tannehill and went, you know,

1560
01:22:27,840 --> 01:22:30,960
Speaker 1: headlong after the quarterback and then he just drops a

1561
01:22:31,000 --> 01:22:34,840
Speaker 1: pass over him to the back and off he goes

1562
01:22:34,920 --> 01:22:37,360
Speaker 1: on a screen pass that went for first down yardagein

1563
01:22:37,439 --> 01:22:42,320
Speaker 1: more and that's just a young player not recognizing something

1564
01:22:42,400 --> 01:22:46,200
Speaker 1: fast enough. But I think he's he's a player that's

1565
01:22:46,200 --> 01:22:49,439
Speaker 1: steadily improving. And we'll see if it translates into more

1566
01:22:49,479 --> 01:22:52,960
Speaker 1: playing time at a time when this defensive staff, as

1567
01:22:53,000 --> 01:22:56,080
Speaker 1: we just heard from Croach Frasier last segments, say we're

1568
01:22:56,120 --> 01:22:59,599
Speaker 1: looking to shuck this rotation down to the cob where

1569
01:22:59,640 --> 01:23:01,479
Speaker 1: we get the best four guys got a tight rush

1570
01:23:01,520 --> 01:23:03,240
Speaker 1: the pass, and it'll be interesting to see if Bam

1571
01:23:03,360 --> 01:23:06,679
Speaker 1: Johnson's on that because I see what Butch saw. Every

1572
01:23:06,760 --> 01:23:10,240
Speaker 1: so often Bam flashes and you think, you know, I

1573
01:23:10,320 --> 01:23:12,400
Speaker 1: wonder and he kind of get into the thing where

1574
01:23:12,400 --> 01:23:13,960
Speaker 1: I wonder how many snaps he's been in or what

1575
01:23:14,200 --> 01:23:16,240
Speaker 1: Like the other night, I was surprised that a japanez

1576
01:23:16,280 --> 01:23:19,679
Speaker 1: he only got four snaps and he made one play

1577
01:23:19,760 --> 01:23:22,200
Speaker 1: on one of them, made one playing on penalty on them.

1578
01:23:22,200 --> 01:23:25,200
Speaker 1: But he's a little bit rookie like great, he's all

1579
01:23:25,280 --> 01:23:28,000
Speaker 1: over the joint. I think it'll be really interesting to

1580
01:23:28,080 --> 01:23:32,320
Speaker 1: see what that rotation will look like. It was Bam

1581
01:23:32,439 --> 01:23:36,400
Speaker 1: Johnson a part of that, maybe, But I think as

1582
01:23:36,520 --> 01:23:38,679
Speaker 1: much as Butch talked about, you know, the defensive lines

1583
01:23:38,920 --> 01:23:41,200
Speaker 1: and getting some more pressure on the passer, I think

1584
01:23:41,240 --> 01:23:44,320
Speaker 1: the defensive coaching staff, obviously from Leslie Frasier's comments, would

1585
01:23:44,320 --> 01:23:47,760
Speaker 1: agree with you. So we'll see, And I think it's

1586
01:23:47,800 --> 01:23:49,640
Speaker 1: going to be interesting. Like I said earlier, it's going

1587
01:23:49,680 --> 01:23:53,080
Speaker 1: to be interesting to see the snap counts from this

1588
01:23:53,240 --> 01:23:56,479
Speaker 1: game against the Chiefs after it's over. Obviously, he also

1589
01:23:56,600 --> 01:23:59,360
Speaker 1: wants Levy on Bell in here saying pay the guy,

1590
01:23:59,520 --> 01:24:05,200
Speaker 1: make it happen. Us been at as examples. It certainly

1591
01:24:05,320 --> 01:24:09,559
Speaker 1: makes you a more versatile offense and much more difficult

1592
01:24:09,600 --> 01:24:13,120
Speaker 1: to predict from a defensive perspective, because you have a

1593
01:24:13,200 --> 01:24:15,960
Speaker 1: guy in the backfield now that you have to respect,

1594
01:24:16,640 --> 01:24:18,120
Speaker 1: not only in terms of running the ball, but you

1595
01:24:18,240 --> 01:24:20,280
Speaker 1: better have somebody covering him in the passing game if he,

1596
01:24:20,439 --> 01:24:22,280
Speaker 1: you know, leaks out on a circle route or a

1597
01:24:22,280 --> 01:24:25,720
Speaker 1: swing pass or whatever. So um, he would bring in

1598
01:24:26,000 --> 01:24:29,479
Speaker 1: an added dimension to the unpredictability of this offense. And

1599
01:24:29,520 --> 01:24:31,080
Speaker 1: I'm telling you right now. And I know I said

1600
01:24:31,080 --> 01:24:33,280
Speaker 1: at last Bank, but I'm gonna say it again. If

1601
01:24:33,360 --> 01:24:35,880
Speaker 1: he comes to the Bills, they're gonna be running that

1602
01:24:35,920 --> 01:24:37,800
Speaker 1: twenty personnel a lot more than they have so far

1603
01:24:37,960 --> 01:24:41,280
Speaker 1: this season. Split backs with Josh and the shotgun and

1604
01:24:41,360 --> 01:24:45,040
Speaker 1: three wides and go get him, Chris Brown, offensive coordinator

1605
01:24:45,120 --> 01:24:47,920
Speaker 1: the Bill get him, I get I get it. Um.

1606
01:24:48,120 --> 01:24:50,120
Speaker 1: And we've seen, you know, the people in MS year

1607
01:24:50,200 --> 01:24:53,519
Speaker 1: watching some highlights of Levon Bill's game the first game

1608
01:24:53,560 --> 01:24:57,280
Speaker 1: of the year against the Bills. Um, you know, and

1609
01:24:57,800 --> 01:25:00,760
Speaker 1: in all these highlights, he's working against Matt Milan and

1610
01:25:00,960 --> 01:25:05,960
Speaker 1: he's got a couple of highlights. He ran a streak

1611
01:25:06,040 --> 01:25:09,960
Speaker 1: pass pattern down the near side and caught it on

1612
01:25:10,280 --> 01:25:13,519
Speaker 1: Matt Milana one on one. So he does bring you

1613
01:25:13,640 --> 01:25:15,559
Speaker 1: something in the passing game. And he's a big dude.

1614
01:25:15,680 --> 01:25:22,000
Speaker 1: He's sneaky pig two twenty five. He's big. So I

1615
01:25:22,120 --> 01:25:24,120
Speaker 1: think the Bills are right to kick those tires, no

1616
01:25:24,280 --> 01:25:27,760
Speaker 1: question about it. I don't know how he's going to

1617
01:25:27,840 --> 01:25:30,080
Speaker 1: incorporate into the locker room or anything like that. I

1618
01:25:30,160 --> 01:25:32,560
Speaker 1: don't know that what kind of guy is. I know

1619
01:25:32,680 --> 01:25:36,240
Speaker 1: he's been a little bit unhappy in New York. He

1620
01:25:36,400 --> 01:25:41,080
Speaker 1: has been criticized for saying things on social media and

1621
01:25:41,160 --> 01:25:45,000
Speaker 1: stuff that most players, most teams would like their players

1622
01:25:45,040 --> 01:25:49,360
Speaker 1: to keep in house. That certainly falls outside the lines

1623
01:25:49,439 --> 01:25:53,080
Speaker 1: for this organization. So I don't know, but certainly they're right.

1624
01:25:53,120 --> 01:25:55,640
Speaker 1: You're right. He's a great player. And this just in

1625
01:25:55,800 --> 01:25:59,200
Speaker 1: and we learned the hard lesson on Tuesday night. You

1626
01:25:59,320 --> 01:26:01,680
Speaker 1: need your best players. You need good players if you're

1627
01:26:01,680 --> 01:26:03,920
Speaker 1: gonna win. The Bills didn't have all their guys on

1628
01:26:04,040 --> 01:26:05,840
Speaker 1: Tuesday Night, and they paid the price for it. This

1629
01:26:05,960 --> 01:26:08,599
Speaker 1: would pull put an awfully large bullet in the chamber

1630
01:26:09,240 --> 01:26:12,160
Speaker 1: for the Bills. You add this guy. Um, all right,

1631
01:26:12,200 --> 01:26:13,960
Speaker 1: we have to take a break, but Dave in Florida,

1632
01:26:14,160 --> 01:26:16,360
Speaker 1: Milton on the east Side, hang tight. We will get

1633
01:26:16,360 --> 01:26:18,639
Speaker 1: to you in the next segment. Here as we roll

1634
01:26:18,760 --> 01:26:21,000
Speaker 1: on on one Bill's Live presented by Kalida Health, this

1635
01:26:21,080 --> 01:26:35,400
Speaker 1: is Buffalo Bill's Radio, Miss Brown, Steve Task, you're with

1636
01:26:35,560 --> 01:26:38,439
Speaker 1: you just about wrapping up our number two, but we're

1637
01:26:38,439 --> 01:26:39,920
Speaker 1: gonna do that with a couple of phone calls at

1638
01:26:40,000 --> 01:26:44,200
Speaker 1: eight three fifty one fifty two, five fifty and we

1639
01:26:44,360 --> 01:26:48,120
Speaker 1: begin with Dave in Florida. Dave, thanks for joining the show.

1640
01:26:48,160 --> 01:26:51,040
Speaker 1: What do you have for us? How you doing? Guys? Good?

1641
01:26:51,920 --> 01:26:53,960
Speaker 1: All right, listen, Steve, you don't remember me. I'm no

1642
01:26:54,040 --> 01:26:56,799
Speaker 1: guy that's stood on the mail on the milk curtain

1643
01:26:56,960 --> 01:27:01,160
Speaker 1: back in the eighty eight team photo. Okay, you're you're

1644
01:27:01,200 --> 01:27:04,120
Speaker 1: the guy. Why I'm the guy that'd asked Steve if

1645
01:27:04,439 --> 01:27:06,519
Speaker 1: White ending him a milk carton to stand out in

1646
01:27:06,600 --> 01:27:10,000
Speaker 1: the eighty eight team photo next to metsolars well after

1647
01:27:10,040 --> 01:27:16,000
Speaker 1: the eight team photo they did every year. Ye, Lean

1648
01:27:16,080 --> 01:27:22,000
Speaker 1: Bell okay, Levian Bell, I take here's a detriment to

1649
01:27:22,160 --> 01:27:26,880
Speaker 1: the team and the team locker. So you're worried about

1650
01:27:26,920 --> 01:27:29,880
Speaker 1: his character? Yeah, I am. I am in the locker

1651
01:27:30,000 --> 01:27:32,360
Speaker 1: room the team. The team has got a good locker

1652
01:27:32,479 --> 01:27:35,360
Speaker 1: right now. We've got some good players in there. And

1653
01:27:35,840 --> 01:27:38,240
Speaker 1: Lebian Bellots just said he he's a head case in

1654
01:27:38,400 --> 01:27:41,240
Speaker 1: my opinion. You know, I want to pay him. If

1655
01:27:41,240 --> 01:27:42,640
Speaker 1: you want to pay him, you pay him to be

1656
01:27:42,720 --> 01:27:45,519
Speaker 1: a decoy or an end or something like that. Other

1657
01:27:45,560 --> 01:27:47,120
Speaker 1: than that, I don't think you get much out of him.

1658
01:27:47,280 --> 01:27:49,560
Speaker 1: We'll say this, Dave, I'll say this day and I

1659
01:27:49,680 --> 01:27:52,880
Speaker 1: appreciate that. I'll say this a lot of people, you know,

1660
01:27:53,000 --> 01:27:57,320
Speaker 1: obviously everyone was the Bill's fan base was completely crushed

1661
01:27:57,320 --> 01:28:00,280
Speaker 1: over the game they lost to the Tennessee Titans. Team

1662
01:28:00,280 --> 01:28:02,160
Speaker 1: look a little flat. Tennessee took it to him. They

1663
01:28:02,200 --> 01:28:04,000
Speaker 1: got beat by twenty five and all that. And I

1664
01:28:04,200 --> 01:28:06,920
Speaker 1: but I would say this, I'm kind of in the

1665
01:28:07,040 --> 01:28:09,720
Speaker 1: camp where they they don't need to, you know, like

1666
01:28:09,880 --> 01:28:14,880
Speaker 1: overhaul anything. That's for sure. They don't need to change philosophies.

1667
01:28:14,920 --> 01:28:17,200
Speaker 1: They don't need to ask more or less or they're

1668
01:28:17,280 --> 01:28:20,160
Speaker 1: doing fine. They ran into a really good team on

1669
01:28:20,240 --> 01:28:23,599
Speaker 1: a bad night. They turned it, had three bad turnovers. Listen,

1670
01:28:23,760 --> 01:28:27,120
Speaker 1: that's that happens. Let's move on. You don't need to

1671
01:28:28,160 --> 01:28:31,320
Speaker 1: revamp the entire philosophy of the Buffalo Bill's offense or

1672
01:28:31,479 --> 01:28:33,639
Speaker 1: defense just because you lost a game to the Tennessee

1673
01:28:33,720 --> 01:28:37,640
Speaker 1: Titans on a Tuesday night. So I'm kind of with

1674
01:28:37,760 --> 01:28:40,320
Speaker 1: you on that. I don't think Levont I think Levon

1675
01:28:40,360 --> 01:28:42,320
Speaker 1: Bell is a great player, don't get me wrong. But

1676
01:28:42,439 --> 01:28:45,479
Speaker 1: if you get an inkling that he might be the

1677
01:28:45,600 --> 01:28:48,760
Speaker 1: kind of problem child he is here in Buffalo, that

1678
01:28:48,800 --> 01:28:51,560
Speaker 1: he was maybe in his last year in Pittsburgh, or

1679
01:28:51,600 --> 01:28:53,559
Speaker 1: that he seems to maybe have been in New York,

1680
01:28:53,680 --> 01:28:56,200
Speaker 1: then yeah, I don't. I don't sign him either. But

1681
01:28:56,320 --> 01:28:58,920
Speaker 1: if he's a good player, if he's in which he is,

1682
01:28:59,320 --> 01:29:03,840
Speaker 1: and he's highly motivated, which maybe he is. Yeah, I

1683
01:29:03,920 --> 01:29:05,519
Speaker 1: think he kicked the tires on the guy, and give

1684
01:29:05,600 --> 01:29:07,120
Speaker 1: him a chance, and maybe you do bring him in.

1685
01:29:08,960 --> 01:29:12,080
Speaker 1: He's a super talented player. I mean, the first thing

1686
01:29:12,120 --> 01:29:14,920
Speaker 1: you need to ask yourself is does he make us

1687
01:29:15,000 --> 01:29:18,200
Speaker 1: a better offense? The answer is yes. I mean it's

1688
01:29:18,240 --> 01:29:21,000
Speaker 1: not even you don't even hesitate. Yes, he makes you

1689
01:29:21,640 --> 01:29:25,800
Speaker 1: a more potent offense without question. From a receiving perspective,

1690
01:29:25,840 --> 01:29:30,880
Speaker 1: From a rushing perspective, he makes you more unpredictable to

1691
01:29:31,080 --> 01:29:33,519
Speaker 1: defenses because of all the things that he can bring

1692
01:29:33,560 --> 01:29:36,400
Speaker 1: to the table, the respect he garners from a matchup

1693
01:29:36,439 --> 01:29:39,960
Speaker 1: perspective in this league, the next question you ask is

1694
01:29:40,040 --> 01:29:43,960
Speaker 1: the one that Dave is concerned about, which is is

1695
01:29:44,000 --> 01:29:47,240
Speaker 1: he going to compromise the integrity of your locker room?

1696
01:29:47,920 --> 01:29:52,760
Speaker 1: And the Bill's personnel department does due diligence like I've

1697
01:29:52,800 --> 01:29:55,560
Speaker 1: never seen before in terms of what they uncover on

1698
01:29:55,720 --> 01:29:59,519
Speaker 1: people to make sure they don't make bad calls on

1699
01:29:59,680 --> 01:30:05,280
Speaker 1: play years and have they all worked out. I don't

1700
01:30:05,320 --> 01:30:08,320
Speaker 1: know if they're batting a thousand, but they're probably somewhere

1701
01:30:08,320 --> 01:30:12,400
Speaker 1: around eight fifty nine hundred, and it's because of the

1702
01:30:12,600 --> 01:30:15,679
Speaker 1: diligent work that they do to cross all the t's

1703
01:30:15,720 --> 01:30:17,519
Speaker 1: and dot all the eyes, so they know the person

1704
01:30:17,560 --> 01:30:19,840
Speaker 1: they're getting as much as the player they're getting. And

1705
01:30:20,200 --> 01:30:22,200
Speaker 1: I don't think they would be pursuing him to this

1706
01:30:22,400 --> 01:30:25,720
Speaker 1: point if they didn't check all those boxes on him. Right.

1707
01:30:25,800 --> 01:30:27,720
Speaker 1: I'm not saying I'm not I'm with you. I'm not

1708
01:30:27,800 --> 01:30:29,519
Speaker 1: saying that every guy they have drafted is gonna go

1709
01:30:29,560 --> 01:30:31,680
Speaker 1: to the Hall of Fame, you know, but certainly Ed

1710
01:30:31,720 --> 01:30:34,000
Speaker 1: Oliver's has got a talent, He's got a role to play.

1711
01:30:34,080 --> 01:30:37,320
Speaker 1: Milano has gotten has been a find in the fifth round.

1712
01:30:37,800 --> 01:30:42,639
Speaker 1: Gabriel Davis looks like a star waiting to happen. Cody Ford,

1713
01:30:43,000 --> 01:30:46,479
Speaker 1: it's another story. Maybe a Japanza. Don't know, Maybe these

1714
01:30:46,560 --> 01:30:48,759
Speaker 1: guys are the ones who are gonna be like just okay,

1715
01:30:48,920 --> 01:30:50,720
Speaker 1: a Japanez is having a hard time getting on the

1716
01:30:50,800 --> 01:30:56,000
Speaker 1: field in his rookie year at all. Of Cody Ford,

1717
01:30:56,040 --> 01:30:58,240
Speaker 1: they he's been switched. He maybe this He's on his

1718
01:30:58,520 --> 01:31:02,360
Speaker 1: third position to start game as right guard, right tackle,

1719
01:31:02,560 --> 01:31:06,400
Speaker 1: now left guard, So maybe they haven't hit a thousand

1720
01:31:07,400 --> 01:31:09,720
Speaker 1: on all the draft picks you think they should have,

1721
01:31:10,600 --> 01:31:13,880
Speaker 1: but they have done really well, not only in the draft,

1722
01:31:14,160 --> 01:31:16,320
Speaker 1: but also in free agency, getting guys to come in

1723
01:31:16,439 --> 01:31:20,000
Speaker 1: here and keeping it financially stable. So all of those

1724
01:31:20,040 --> 01:31:22,360
Speaker 1: things put together, Yeah, you got to be really happy

1725
01:31:22,439 --> 01:31:25,320
Speaker 1: with the way they've evaluated and built this roster. And

1726
01:31:25,400 --> 01:31:28,240
Speaker 1: if they get to a point or in these latest

1727
01:31:28,400 --> 01:31:31,599
Speaker 1: round and negotiation, the conversation with levon Bell and if

1728
01:31:31,640 --> 01:31:34,040
Speaker 1: they think he can help them at the right price,

1729
01:31:35,320 --> 01:31:40,360
Speaker 1: you know they'll pull the trigger. Yeah, eighth three fifty one,

1730
01:31:40,479 --> 01:31:42,360
Speaker 1: eighty eight, five fifty. It's gonna be interesting to see

1731
01:31:42,360 --> 01:31:44,679
Speaker 1: if they do pull that trigger. Of course, the decision

1732
01:31:44,800 --> 01:31:47,200
Speaker 1: is ultimately up to Bell. I mean, he's the guy

1733
01:31:47,280 --> 01:31:49,080
Speaker 1: that's holding all the cards here. He's got teams that

1734
01:31:49,160 --> 01:31:52,040
Speaker 1: are interested. Where does he want to go? So we'll

1735
01:31:52,120 --> 01:31:55,360
Speaker 1: find out probably in the next few days. I would

1736
01:31:55,400 --> 01:31:58,920
Speaker 1: think it's a five day onboarding process with the COVID testing,

1737
01:31:59,400 --> 01:32:02,640
Speaker 1: so he be eligible to play Monday night or for

1738
01:32:02,720 --> 01:32:05,720
Speaker 1: the Dolphins this weekend. If he signed with them. We're

1739
01:32:05,760 --> 01:32:09,479
Speaker 1: talking week seven. And oh, by the way, Steve, in

1740
01:32:09,560 --> 01:32:12,760
Speaker 1: case you forgot, you know, the Bills playing Week seven.

1741
01:32:14,280 --> 01:32:18,200
Speaker 1: The New York Football jet, the jets, you want to

1742
01:32:18,240 --> 01:32:20,120
Speaker 1: talk about the back page of the New York Post,

1743
01:32:20,240 --> 01:32:22,920
Speaker 1: Holy crow Bay. All right, back to the phones and

1744
01:32:23,000 --> 01:32:25,360
Speaker 1: to Milton on the east side. Milton, thanks for joining us.

1745
01:32:25,360 --> 01:32:28,680
Speaker 1: What do you have sir? Yeah? Thanks. My first thing

1746
01:32:28,800 --> 01:32:32,360
Speaker 1: is a statement, definitely get Leaveyon Bill because you know,

1747
01:32:32,479 --> 01:32:34,320
Speaker 1: the more stars the better. You ain't got to answer

1748
01:32:34,320 --> 01:32:39,560
Speaker 1: that question. Second, though, I observe something far as Patrick Mahomes, like,

1749
01:32:39,600 --> 01:32:42,360
Speaker 1: if YA could pull up some tape, then he likes

1750
01:32:42,400 --> 01:32:44,840
Speaker 1: to when he's under pressure. He likes to dip his

1751
01:32:44,920 --> 01:32:47,120
Speaker 1: shoulder to the right and get out of pressure all

1752
01:32:47,200 --> 01:32:49,920
Speaker 1: the time, never to the left, to the right. So

1753
01:32:50,080 --> 01:32:52,880
Speaker 1: if the defensive line can show some light containment and

1754
01:32:53,080 --> 01:32:55,599
Speaker 1: have a spy on him, you probably have a better chance.

1755
01:32:55,760 --> 01:32:57,920
Speaker 1: Like just look it up when you see it on tape.

1756
01:32:57,920 --> 01:33:00,960
Speaker 1: I've been watching this whole year last and always said

1757
01:33:00,960 --> 01:33:03,000
Speaker 1: he always dips his shoulder to the right to get

1758
01:33:03,040 --> 01:33:05,160
Speaker 1: out of numbing, get out of the pressure. So he

1759
01:33:05,240 --> 01:33:07,040
Speaker 1: want and you're saying he wants to roll to his

1760
01:33:07,160 --> 01:33:11,559
Speaker 1: throwing side. Yes, he always dips his shoulder, gets out

1761
01:33:11,640 --> 01:33:14,400
Speaker 1: of pressure to the right, and that's when he makes

1762
01:33:14,439 --> 01:33:17,080
Speaker 1: his moveing I mean, and usually be successful but if

1763
01:33:17,080 --> 01:33:20,240
Speaker 1: you could stop him from doing that, then we would

1764
01:33:20,240 --> 01:33:21,680
Speaker 1: be successful, you know what I mean. So are you

1765
01:33:21,800 --> 01:33:24,680
Speaker 1: saying pressure him and force him to his left, you know,

1766
01:33:24,800 --> 01:33:28,640
Speaker 1: his non throwing side, yeah, or stop him or have

1767
01:33:28,720 --> 01:33:30,840
Speaker 1: a spy on him. So when he tries to dip

1768
01:33:30,960 --> 01:33:33,200
Speaker 1: out of there. Because I don't know, when I watched

1769
01:33:33,240 --> 01:33:36,160
Speaker 1: the Bills game just this weekend, I've seen fifty five

1770
01:33:36,320 --> 01:33:38,320
Speaker 1: was kind of getting into insight in Sante Hill making

1771
01:33:38,400 --> 01:33:40,280
Speaker 1: to the outside. So if you could show some light

1772
01:33:40,360 --> 01:33:43,960
Speaker 1: containing where when he dips his shoulder somebody would be

1773
01:33:44,040 --> 01:33:47,439
Speaker 1: right on him, we could stop him, all right. That's

1774
01:33:47,880 --> 01:33:52,000
Speaker 1: that's an interesting point. If when guys show tendencies like that. Yeah,

1775
01:33:52,120 --> 01:33:56,519
Speaker 1: sometimes teams can take advantage of it. We'll see if

1776
01:33:56,560 --> 01:33:58,640
Speaker 1: they can dips his right and goes to his right,

1777
01:33:58,800 --> 01:34:02,320
Speaker 1: dips his right shoulder and goes right. Okay, I mean

1778
01:34:02,400 --> 01:34:05,840
Speaker 1: I don't know how that change your approach necessarily. I mean,

1779
01:34:06,040 --> 01:34:07,960
Speaker 1: just gon aware you're gonna have you just gotta be

1780
01:34:08,040 --> 01:34:10,720
Speaker 1: aware of defensive line on the stas rush. Yeah, I

1781
01:34:10,760 --> 01:34:13,040
Speaker 1: get it, all right. We have to take a break,

1782
01:34:13,080 --> 01:34:16,439
Speaker 1: but when we come back, we'll be talking to Chief

1783
01:34:16,479 --> 01:34:20,479
Speaker 1: Speet Reporter Pete Sweeney to get the lowdown on Chief's

Speaker 1: to nothing in the series, but the defending American League

1813
01:36:04,320 --> 01:36:06,360
Speaker 1: champs responded with a four three win to force a

1814
01:36:06,439 --> 01:36:09,640
Speaker 1: Game five that'll be tonight at five o'clock. In the NLCS,

1815
01:36:09,680 --> 01:36:12,000
Speaker 1: the Dodgers got their first win of that series with

1816
01:36:12,120 --> 01:36:15,439
Speaker 1: a fifteen to three throttling of Atlanta. The Braves lead

1817
01:36:15,520 --> 01:36:17,639
Speaker 1: the series though two games to one. Game four tonight

1818
01:36:18,160 --> 01:36:20,400
Speaker 1: at eight pm. And that is your sports update from

1819
01:36:20,400 --> 01:36:23,120
Speaker 1: One Bill's Drive. Chris Brown, Steve Tasker our number three

1820
01:36:23,560 --> 01:36:26,479
Speaker 1: as we're broadcasting from the Seneca Studios here in Orchard

1821
01:36:26,560 --> 01:36:29,840
Speaker 1: Park and joining us on the line right now is

1822
01:36:29,960 --> 01:36:33,479
Speaker 1: Chiefs Beat reporter one Pete Sweeney, who is here to

1823
01:36:33,600 --> 01:36:37,000
Speaker 1: give us the lowdown on Chief's Kingdom. And Pete, first

1824
01:36:37,040 --> 01:36:39,519
Speaker 1: and foremost, how did this Levion Bell News grab you?

1825
01:36:39,640 --> 01:36:43,960
Speaker 1: Earlier this morning? I thought it was surprising that he's

1826
01:36:44,000 --> 01:36:47,600
Speaker 1: down to three teams. From what I was hearing yesterday,

1827
01:36:47,920 --> 01:36:50,160
Speaker 1: I felt like the Chiefs would be pretty close on this,

1828
01:36:50,400 --> 01:36:54,200
Speaker 1: But now you have two AFC East teams. There's rumors

1829
01:36:54,240 --> 01:36:57,320
Speaker 1: of the Patriots being involved as well. That sort of

1830
01:36:57,400 --> 01:37:00,519
Speaker 1: makes me think sticking into the Jets is part of this.

1831
01:37:00,680 --> 01:37:03,479
Speaker 1: So I think as time goes along here, I think

1832
01:37:03,520 --> 01:37:06,880
Speaker 1: as time goes along here, I think it becomes less

1833
01:37:06,880 --> 01:37:09,439
Speaker 1: and less likely he ends up achieve. It really does

1834
01:37:09,520 --> 01:37:12,880
Speaker 1: seem maybe Miami because of him working out there, or

1835
01:37:12,920 --> 01:37:16,120
Speaker 1: even Buffalo, who, at least from the outside looking in

1836
01:37:16,240 --> 01:37:18,920
Speaker 1: the AFC East seems to have the best promise in

1837
01:37:19,000 --> 01:37:22,440
Speaker 1: the division. Yeah, and when you come down to you conjecturing,

1838
01:37:22,479 --> 01:37:24,040
Speaker 1: and of course none of us can get inside leve

1839
01:37:24,200 --> 01:37:26,600
Speaker 1: On Bill's mind, but it comes to opportunity, maybe the

1840
01:37:26,680 --> 01:37:29,800
Speaker 1: money and maybe a chance to win a championship. And

1841
01:37:30,520 --> 01:37:32,599
Speaker 1: when you look at the Miami Dolphins, the Buffalo Bills,

1842
01:37:32,600 --> 01:37:34,720
Speaker 1: and Kansas City Chiefs, each of them brings something to

1843
01:37:34,800 --> 01:37:36,640
Speaker 1: the table. I don't know how much of an opportunity

1844
01:37:36,720 --> 01:37:38,479
Speaker 1: or how much the Chiefs would need a guy like

1845
01:37:38,640 --> 01:37:42,280
Speaker 1: that when they've got Clyde Edwards Hilaire playing and their

1846
01:37:42,320 --> 01:37:45,000
Speaker 1: offense playing so well. Certainly, great players make you better,

1847
01:37:45,880 --> 01:37:47,920
Speaker 1: But as far as opportunity and getting it a lion

1848
01:37:48,000 --> 01:37:50,400
Speaker 1: share the opportunity looks like Miami might be the place

1849
01:37:50,479 --> 01:37:54,080
Speaker 1: for him. Miami could be the place I could see

1850
01:37:54,160 --> 01:37:57,360
Speaker 1: him in and stepping in Buffalo with a pretty big role,

1851
01:37:57,680 --> 01:37:59,439
Speaker 1: it would be tough to think that he would be

1852
01:37:59,600 --> 01:38:01,880
Speaker 1: the guy in Kansas City. With the Chiefs spitting their

1853
01:38:01,920 --> 01:38:04,640
Speaker 1: first round pick, I think there would be some pushback

1854
01:38:04,680 --> 01:38:06,320
Speaker 1: as to whether or not they would want to stunt

1855
01:38:06,400 --> 01:38:10,200
Speaker 1: a guy like Clyde Edwards Elaire's growth. And though it

1856
01:38:10,320 --> 01:38:12,800
Speaker 1: probably hasn't been the start we thought it might be

1857
01:38:12,880 --> 01:38:14,760
Speaker 1: with all of the preseason hype, Clyde has done a

1858
01:38:14,760 --> 01:38:17,240
Speaker 1: pretty good job. I actually just asked Andy Reid about it.

1859
01:38:17,320 --> 01:38:20,000
Speaker 1: They've been happy with him, and I think that lebon Bell,

1860
01:38:20,120 --> 01:38:21,800
Speaker 1: if he joined the Chiefs, would be more of a

1861
01:38:21,960 --> 01:38:25,880
Speaker 1: third down back roll. So again, as time goes along here,

1862
01:38:26,000 --> 01:38:29,719
Speaker 1: I think Buffalo becomes more likely. What is crazy about

1863
01:38:29,800 --> 01:38:33,439
Speaker 1: this is it's likely he'll be at the game on Monday.

1864
01:38:33,600 --> 01:38:36,960
Speaker 1: It is just which team, which colors will he be wearing? Right,

1865
01:38:37,720 --> 01:38:40,240
Speaker 1: And if you want to get back at the Jets,

1866
01:38:40,439 --> 01:38:43,320
Speaker 1: the Bills will offer Levandrell the first crack to do

1867
01:38:43,439 --> 01:38:45,920
Speaker 1: that because they play the Jets in Week seven. So

1868
01:38:46,720 --> 01:38:48,760
Speaker 1: why don't you give us a sense pete if you can.

1869
01:38:49,320 --> 01:38:51,679
Speaker 1: The Bills are still fresh off of licking their wounds

1870
01:38:51,720 --> 01:38:53,439
Speaker 1: from their first loss of the season. We know the

1871
01:38:53,520 --> 01:38:56,360
Speaker 1: Chiefs had an unexpected home loss to the Raiders. What

1872
01:38:56,720 --> 01:39:00,760
Speaker 1: was the general consensus in feeling from coach Read and

1873
01:39:00,840 --> 01:39:04,840
Speaker 1: the players coming off of that loss. I think they

1874
01:39:04,880 --> 01:39:08,000
Speaker 1: were obviously disappointed. This was the second straight week there

1875
01:39:08,040 --> 01:39:10,679
Speaker 1: were some struggles and this time it led to a loss.

1876
01:39:10,800 --> 01:39:13,640
Speaker 1: And so now you have to start to really evaluate

1877
01:39:13,760 --> 01:39:15,920
Speaker 1: what do we have to do to get better here?

1878
01:39:16,200 --> 01:39:18,320
Speaker 1: The defense didn't look good. The Raiders were able to

1879
01:39:18,360 --> 01:39:22,720
Speaker 1: score forty points. The Chiefs offense was shut down in

1880
01:39:22,800 --> 01:39:25,240
Speaker 1: the third quarter. Had they been able to score at all,

1881
01:39:25,720 --> 01:39:28,080
Speaker 1: I think in the third quarter, it's a completely different game,

1882
01:39:28,200 --> 01:39:31,200
Speaker 1: and so everyone was disappointed. I don't think that necessarily

1883
01:39:31,280 --> 01:39:33,040
Speaker 1: the Chiefs were talking about this, but there was some

1884
01:39:33,240 --> 01:39:35,240
Speaker 1: kind of sense in Kansas City when was this team

1885
01:39:35,280 --> 01:39:37,600
Speaker 1: that a lose. They hadn't lost since November tenth of

1886
01:39:37,760 --> 01:39:41,519
Speaker 1: last year, and so there were some of those undefeated talks.

1887
01:39:41,520 --> 01:39:43,640
Speaker 1: Because you got through one fourth of the season, you

1888
01:39:43,720 --> 01:39:45,600
Speaker 1: never know what can happen. I always said, if they

1889
01:39:45,640 --> 01:39:48,720
Speaker 1: could get through that four game stretch with the Ravens, Patriots,

1890
01:39:49,000 --> 01:39:51,120
Speaker 1: the Raiders and the Bills, which I considered sort of

1891
01:39:51,160 --> 01:39:53,120
Speaker 1: the stretch of death, then maybe you could start to

1892
01:39:53,160 --> 01:39:55,200
Speaker 1: talk about it. But you got a division game, a

1893
01:39:55,280 --> 01:39:57,040
Speaker 1: team that's wanted to beat you for a long time.

1894
01:39:57,360 --> 01:39:59,080
Speaker 1: You could tell they wanted it a bit more. And

1895
01:39:59,120 --> 01:40:01,240
Speaker 1: the Raiders come away with the win in a big

1896
01:40:01,400 --> 01:40:04,800
Speaker 1: part because Derek Carr was suddenly willing to throw the

1897
01:40:04,840 --> 01:40:07,200
Speaker 1: ball down the field. And that's what the Chiefs are

1898
01:40:07,280 --> 01:40:09,599
Speaker 1: running into here with Josh Allen. We know Josh Allen

1899
01:40:09,720 --> 01:40:11,400
Speaker 1: is not afraid to throw the ball down the field.

1900
01:40:11,760 --> 01:40:13,599
Speaker 1: What do you think about the Chiefs and the scheduling

1901
01:40:13,680 --> 01:40:16,160
Speaker 1: snaffoos and all the adjustments that everybody around the league

1902
01:40:16,200 --> 01:40:18,639
Speaker 1: is making. How has that affected the Chiefs. The delay

1903
01:40:18,720 --> 01:40:21,519
Speaker 1: of this third the game should have been tonight and

1904
01:40:21,640 --> 01:40:23,920
Speaker 1: it's not going to happen until Monday at five o'clock.

1905
01:40:24,000 --> 01:40:26,160
Speaker 1: How are the Chiefs handling it? And how have they

1906
01:40:26,240 --> 01:40:30,479
Speaker 1: had positive COVID tests at all lately? And give us

1907
01:40:30,479 --> 01:40:33,640
Speaker 1: a vibe of how they're handling the virus. I know

1908
01:40:33,760 --> 01:40:35,680
Speaker 1: you guys are probably feeling this too. Where is our

1909
01:40:35,720 --> 01:40:38,040
Speaker 1: mini bye week? We wanted a mini by but we

1910
01:40:38,120 --> 01:40:40,000
Speaker 1: don't get that. They'll play on Monday, so you get

1911
01:40:40,080 --> 01:40:42,439
Speaker 1: media throughout the week. And I think it's been an

1912
01:40:42,439 --> 01:40:45,840
Speaker 1: adjustment the Monday night football. The Chiefs are about to enter.

1913
01:40:45,920 --> 01:40:48,120
Speaker 1: It will be their third Monday game of the year,

1914
01:40:48,200 --> 01:40:51,519
Speaker 1: which is completely abnormal, and it shifts things and where

1915
01:40:51,600 --> 01:40:54,920
Speaker 1: they were almost not going to have a ton of preparation,

1916
01:40:55,000 --> 01:40:56,839
Speaker 1: where the Bills were about to have a ton of preparation,

1917
01:40:56,920 --> 01:40:59,240
Speaker 1: the Chiefs get two extra days, which in a way

1918
01:40:59,320 --> 01:41:02,080
Speaker 1: doesn't seem fair. So everyone's kind of working with everything

1919
01:41:02,200 --> 01:41:04,840
Speaker 1: right now. The Chiefs did have a guy added to

1920
01:41:04,920 --> 01:41:08,639
Speaker 1: the COVID list this week in Anthony Sherman. He apparently

1921
01:41:08,720 --> 01:41:11,439
Speaker 1: doesn't have the virus and it could be in the family.

1922
01:41:11,560 --> 01:41:13,559
Speaker 1: Something like that that has landed him the COVID list.

1923
01:41:13,760 --> 01:41:16,519
Speaker 1: He's not expected to play this week. A bigger thing

1924
01:41:16,680 --> 01:41:20,000
Speaker 1: is has been the injury the left guard for the Chiefs,

1925
01:41:20,120 --> 01:41:24,000
Speaker 1: really their best offensive lineman all year, collecchi Osemile. He

1926
01:41:24,160 --> 01:41:27,080
Speaker 1: tore tendons in both his needs last game, which is

1927
01:41:27,120 --> 01:41:28,760
Speaker 1: gonna be a problem because the Chiefs when they were

1928
01:41:28,840 --> 01:41:31,160
Speaker 1: running the football, they were running it a lot better

1929
01:41:31,240 --> 01:41:33,840
Speaker 1: to the left. Their run protection and run blocking has

1930
01:41:33,880 --> 01:41:36,000
Speaker 1: not been great this year, and so you take him out.

1931
01:41:36,120 --> 01:41:39,040
Speaker 1: Mike Reremers, a veteran, he goes into place there. Chiefs

1932
01:41:39,080 --> 01:41:41,240
Speaker 1: have had some struggles along the offensive line, so that

1933
01:41:41,360 --> 01:41:44,120
Speaker 1: injury hurts. Another injury to look out for. Sammy Watkins

1934
01:41:44,479 --> 01:41:47,520
Speaker 1: probably won't play in this game. Pulled up as hamstring

1935
01:41:47,640 --> 01:41:50,280
Speaker 1: last game, so look forward to Marcus Robinson and second

1936
01:41:50,360 --> 01:41:52,840
Speaker 1: year player McCole. Hardman had a bigger role against the Bills.

1937
01:41:52,880 --> 01:41:56,000
Speaker 1: So talking to Chiefs an LSP Sweeney and Pete, I

1938
01:41:56,080 --> 01:41:58,439
Speaker 1: have to ask you because you know you're looking over

1939
01:41:58,520 --> 01:42:01,559
Speaker 1: the statistics and everything. Obviously it doesn't tell the whole story,

1940
01:42:01,640 --> 01:42:04,640
Speaker 1: but you mentioned the third quarters, so I'll ask it.

1941
01:42:04,800 --> 01:42:07,120
Speaker 1: You know, only six points scored for the Chiefs in

1942
01:42:07,160 --> 01:42:09,439
Speaker 1: the third quarter. It's been a bugaboo for the Bills

1943
01:42:09,520 --> 01:42:12,040
Speaker 1: offense as well. They only have seven points scored in

1944
01:42:12,120 --> 01:42:14,240
Speaker 1: the third quarter. I mean, these are two teams that

1945
01:42:14,280 --> 01:42:17,240
Speaker 1: are up in the high twenties, low thirties almost every

1946
01:42:17,320 --> 01:42:20,040
Speaker 1: week so far this season, and yet the third quarter

1947
01:42:20,400 --> 01:42:24,360
Speaker 1: remains a major issue from a point point scoring perspective,

1948
01:42:24,600 --> 01:42:27,240
Speaker 1: as coach Reid been asked about that in recent weeks,

1949
01:42:27,280 --> 01:42:30,519
Speaker 1: and if so, what's his explanation for coming out of

1950
01:42:30,560 --> 01:42:33,759
Speaker 1: the locker room and kind of laying an egg. Hasn't

1951
01:42:33,800 --> 01:42:36,720
Speaker 1: specifically been asked about the third quarter, but about the

1952
01:42:36,840 --> 01:42:39,559
Speaker 1: offensive struggles in general. And I think the thing that's

1953
01:42:39,600 --> 01:42:42,160
Speaker 1: bothering a lot of Chiefs fans right now is the

1954
01:42:42,280 --> 01:42:45,040
Speaker 1: defenses that are playing. The Chiefs are best when they're

1955
01:42:45,120 --> 01:42:48,599
Speaker 1: not blitzing. Patrick Mahomes is actually very very strong against

1956
01:42:48,640 --> 01:42:51,760
Speaker 1: the blitz. But when there are the opposing defenses that

1957
01:42:51,840 --> 01:42:54,320
Speaker 1: are rushing three or four guys, maybe you spy a guy,

1958
01:42:54,360 --> 01:42:57,080
Speaker 1: you have six or seven defensive backs in the backfield.

1959
01:42:57,200 --> 01:42:59,600
Speaker 1: The offense that it was supposed to be this explosive

1960
01:42:59,680 --> 01:43:02,360
Speaker 1: thing everyone called the Legion of Zoom, it's been able

1961
01:43:02,400 --> 01:43:04,120
Speaker 1: to be shut down. And I think that's been a

1962
01:43:04,160 --> 01:43:08,000
Speaker 1: concern and so now the challenges playing in that intermediate area.

1963
01:43:08,120 --> 01:43:10,560
Speaker 1: Maybe Travis Kelsey has a bigger role than that, and

1964
01:43:10,720 --> 01:43:13,840
Speaker 1: that way, once you start having success there where you're

1965
01:43:14,400 --> 01:43:16,920
Speaker 1: making the game a little bit longer, you're winning methodically,

1966
01:43:17,040 --> 01:43:19,559
Speaker 1: then that'll open these deep shots that the Chiefs were

1967
01:43:19,600 --> 01:43:23,240
Speaker 1: once I think known for last year a little more consistently.

1968
01:43:23,439 --> 01:43:27,120
Speaker 1: So the problem I find more so than just a

1969
01:43:27,200 --> 01:43:29,679
Speaker 1: specific quarter, and granted the Chiefs have been a second

1970
01:43:29,760 --> 01:43:34,320
Speaker 1: quarter team is just being able to have your guys

1971
01:43:34,439 --> 01:43:36,880
Speaker 1: over the top a bit open, and then the run

1972
01:43:37,000 --> 01:43:39,880
Speaker 1: game has struggled and that is going to eliminate a

1973
01:43:39,960 --> 01:43:42,479
Speaker 1: lot of the past. So there's been some problems on offense,

1974
01:43:42,479 --> 01:43:45,120
Speaker 1: although they've been able to get points, and you're wondering,

1975
01:43:45,280 --> 01:43:48,519
Speaker 1: can they adjust to play better against the Bills on Monday?

1976
01:43:48,760 --> 01:43:52,160
Speaker 1: What did the Raiders do, if anything, to give themselves

1977
01:43:52,200 --> 01:43:54,320
Speaker 1: a chance to win so their offense could push it

1978
01:43:54,400 --> 01:43:58,040
Speaker 1: down the field. What the Raiders defense do in this game? Yeah,

1979
01:43:58,120 --> 01:44:01,479
Speaker 1: the defense kind of just what I was talking about.

1980
01:44:01,560 --> 01:44:03,880
Speaker 1: They were able to shut down some of these Chiefs

1981
01:44:04,000 --> 01:44:07,000
Speaker 1: receivers and without having much pressure at all, And so

1982
01:44:07,120 --> 01:44:09,640
Speaker 1: I look for teams to continue doing that until the

1983
01:44:09,800 --> 01:44:12,360
Speaker 1: offense can figure it out, and then the Raiders on offense,

1984
01:44:12,400 --> 01:44:15,280
Speaker 1: they just attacked the young Chiefs defenders. The one of

1985
01:44:15,320 --> 01:44:19,800
Speaker 1: the cornerbacks, Dravarias Ward, he has a fractured hand. He

1986
01:44:19,880 --> 01:44:21,960
Speaker 1: seemed to struggle in this game. Was actually benched at

1987
01:44:21,960 --> 01:44:25,479
Speaker 1: halftime for Rashad Fenton, another second year player. Their rookie

1988
01:44:25,560 --> 01:44:28,960
Speaker 1: cornerback Lagarius Sneed is out right now. He ended up

1989
01:44:29,080 --> 01:44:31,680
Speaker 1: with a clavical injury that's going to keep him out

1990
01:44:31,680 --> 01:44:34,680
Speaker 1: for the foreseeable future. So it's been some players that

1991
01:44:34,760 --> 01:44:37,760
Speaker 1: have been banged up, and again really atypical of Derek

1992
01:44:37,840 --> 01:44:40,679
Speaker 1: Carr so far against the Chiefs in his career, willing

1993
01:44:40,760 --> 01:44:44,760
Speaker 1: to just test the secondary and basically, without saying much more,

1994
01:44:44,880 --> 01:44:47,640
Speaker 1: the secondary of the Chiefs defense failed last week, and

1995
01:44:47,760 --> 01:44:50,400
Speaker 1: so Stefan Diggs, I imagine, is going to be a

1996
01:44:50,479 --> 01:44:53,920
Speaker 1: huge problem for the Kansas City Chiefs defense. Also, John Brown,

1997
01:44:54,000 --> 01:44:55,400
Speaker 1: if he's able to play, I know he was held

1998
01:44:55,439 --> 01:44:59,479
Speaker 1: out a last game, and even Cole Beasley. Until the

1999
01:44:59,560 --> 01:45:02,360
Speaker 1: Chiefs secondary proofs that they can handle these talent receivers,

2000
01:45:02,560 --> 01:45:05,960
Speaker 1: you gotta believe otherwise with respect to availability, I know

2001
01:45:06,080 --> 01:45:08,479
Speaker 1: you said it's probably unlikely that Watkins suits up for

2002
01:45:08,560 --> 01:45:10,360
Speaker 1: them on Monday night after he pulled up with a

2003
01:45:10,479 --> 01:45:14,400
Speaker 1: hamstring injury. So who kind of fills that void? Is

2004
01:45:14,439 --> 01:45:16,800
Speaker 1: it Hardman and Williams as a combination, or do one

2005
01:45:16,840 --> 01:45:20,479
Speaker 1: of those guys specifically or Robinson? I should say Hardman

2006
01:45:20,560 --> 01:45:22,880
Speaker 1: or Robinson. Do one of those guys fill the role

2007
01:45:23,280 --> 01:45:26,960
Speaker 1: solely or is it a combination. Well, it's an interesting

2008
01:45:27,080 --> 01:45:29,200
Speaker 1: question because a lot of people say Hardman is the

2009
01:45:29,240 --> 01:45:32,519
Speaker 1: more talented receiver between Hardman and Robinson, and I think

2010
01:45:32,600 --> 01:45:36,280
Speaker 1: Hardman Hardman's role is elevated in this game, but Sammy

2011
01:45:36,320 --> 01:45:38,759
Speaker 1: plays more of an X an inline receiver and DeMarcus

2012
01:45:38,800 --> 01:45:40,880
Speaker 1: fits that a little bit better. You could go even

2013
01:45:40,960 --> 01:45:43,679
Speaker 1: deeper and maybe you see a younger player named Byron

2014
01:45:43,720 --> 01:45:46,439
Speaker 1: Pringle out of Kansas State who could have a bigger

2015
01:45:46,520 --> 01:45:49,120
Speaker 1: role in this game. So, while I think Hardman touches

2016
01:45:49,160 --> 01:45:51,600
Speaker 1: the ball a bit more, he's not a receiver for

2017
01:45:51,760 --> 01:45:55,000
Speaker 1: receiver fit for what Sammy Watkins does well. So that,

2018
01:45:55,120 --> 01:45:57,560
Speaker 1: like you talk to people who love fantasy football, just

2019
01:45:57,680 --> 01:46:00,600
Speaker 1: because Watkins is out doesn't mean Hardman is necessarily going

2020
01:46:00,640 --> 01:46:03,320
Speaker 1: to have this explosive game, though I think there's a

2021
01:46:03,439 --> 01:46:05,519
Speaker 1: chance the Chiefs feature him more in the backfield, like

2022
01:46:05,560 --> 01:46:07,680
Speaker 1: we've seen on some of those end around plays with

2023
01:46:07,800 --> 01:46:11,040
Speaker 1: both Hardman and Tyreek Hill. What's been your assessment of

2024
01:46:12,360 --> 01:46:15,280
Speaker 1: that entire group with and obviously it starts with Tyree

2025
01:46:15,400 --> 01:46:17,800
Speaker 1: Hill and usually Sammy Watkins when he's healthy. How deep

2026
01:46:17,880 --> 01:46:21,320
Speaker 1: do the Chiefs go at wide receiver that Mahomes really

2027
01:46:21,360 --> 01:46:25,200
Speaker 1: trust these guys? How deep does that depth go? Yeah,

2028
01:46:25,240 --> 01:46:27,400
Speaker 1: it's strong, it's strong. What I think you're seeing a

2029
01:46:27,439 --> 01:46:30,040
Speaker 1: lot this year is you're used to Tyree Hill having

2030
01:46:30,120 --> 01:46:32,519
Speaker 1: these plays where he catches the football and then he

2031
01:46:32,600 --> 01:46:34,839
Speaker 1: just runs away from the defense, and you're seeing opposing

2032
01:46:34,880 --> 01:46:37,519
Speaker 1: defenses taking him away a little bit more. What's been

2033
01:46:37,600 --> 01:46:41,040
Speaker 1: interesting about all the Chiefs pass catchers Travis Kelsey included

2034
01:46:41,080 --> 01:46:43,120
Speaker 1: his last game was the first game that any Chiefs

2035
01:46:43,200 --> 01:46:45,400
Speaker 1: pass catcher had more than a hundred yards on the

2036
01:46:45,479 --> 01:46:47,600
Speaker 1: game this season. Travis Kelsey was able to do that,

2037
01:46:47,960 --> 01:46:51,240
Speaker 1: and so they've been able to opposing defenses pretty much

2038
01:46:51,320 --> 01:46:54,160
Speaker 1: managed Tyreek Hill except for a few plays a game.

2039
01:46:54,280 --> 01:46:57,320
Speaker 1: Last game, the Chiefs had this great play about sixty

2040
01:46:57,400 --> 01:46:59,479
Speaker 1: sixty five yards in the air to Tyreek Hill that

2041
01:46:59,560 --> 01:47:01,759
Speaker 1: was called back to a holding call. And it seems

2042
01:47:01,800 --> 01:47:04,360
Speaker 1: like the last two weeks they've had these untimely penalties.

2043
01:47:04,439 --> 01:47:07,000
Speaker 1: Last game they also had ten penalties for ninety four yards.

2044
01:47:07,080 --> 01:47:10,040
Speaker 1: So while these big shots are few and far between,

2045
01:47:10,120 --> 01:47:12,880
Speaker 1: they're hurting themselves when that's able to happen, and you're

2046
01:47:12,880 --> 01:47:15,759
Speaker 1: seeing the production when in terms of the box scorps

2047
01:47:16,439 --> 01:47:19,599
Speaker 1: kind of reflect some of those struggles. Talking to Pete Tweeney,

2048
01:47:20,080 --> 01:47:23,160
Speaker 1: chiefs analysts and Pete, I do have to ask, like

2049
01:47:24,200 --> 01:47:26,800
Speaker 1: we see the struggles that both of these teams respective

2050
01:47:26,840 --> 01:47:31,040
Speaker 1: defenses are having in recent games. Here are we anticipating

2051
01:47:31,120 --> 01:47:32,599
Speaker 1: that this is going to be one of those games

2052
01:47:32,680 --> 01:47:35,280
Speaker 1: where whichever quarterback has the ball in their hand last

2053
01:47:35,400 --> 01:47:36,720
Speaker 1: is going to have a chance to win this thing?

2054
01:47:38,920 --> 01:47:42,360
Speaker 1: It's possible with how similar it seems like the seasons are.

2055
01:47:42,560 --> 01:47:45,280
Speaker 1: Because I don't get me wrong, like I've been looking

2056
01:47:45,360 --> 01:47:47,639
Speaker 1: forward to this game since the schedule came out because

2057
01:47:47,800 --> 01:47:50,040
Speaker 1: I've always felt the Bills are this up and coming team.

2058
01:47:50,320 --> 01:47:52,920
Speaker 1: But even as we got closer, I think both sides

2059
01:47:53,080 --> 01:47:56,680
Speaker 1: just assume that it would be this undefeated battle of

2060
01:47:56,800 --> 01:47:59,559
Speaker 1: the AFC to really see who has control. And now

2061
01:47:59,600 --> 01:48:03,000
Speaker 1: it's become this thing where because of the one loss

2062
01:48:03,080 --> 01:48:05,599
Speaker 1: and because of the one bye week in the AFC,

2063
01:48:06,280 --> 01:48:08,559
Speaker 1: this almost becomes a must win in a sense if

2064
01:48:08,640 --> 01:48:10,280
Speaker 1: you want to be in play for that because of

2065
01:48:10,400 --> 01:48:13,439
Speaker 1: that swing and that tiebreaker. And so you look at

2066
01:48:13,479 --> 01:48:16,200
Speaker 1: these offenses, who you know, we had mentioned earlier, both

2067
01:48:16,200 --> 01:48:19,240
Speaker 1: struggling in the third quarter. I think kids whoever strikes

2068
01:48:19,280 --> 01:48:22,479
Speaker 1: through those halftime adjustments. First, what was most surprising to

2069
01:48:22,560 --> 01:48:25,400
Speaker 1: me about the Chiefs last game? And A, because they've

2070
01:48:25,479 --> 01:48:28,160
Speaker 1: hadn't lost in eleven months, you're surprised about the loss.

2071
01:48:28,640 --> 01:48:31,439
Speaker 1: But the biggest thing was the fact that they couldn't

2072
01:48:31,479 --> 01:48:35,559
Speaker 1: get anything going after the half. And you figured because

2073
01:48:35,680 --> 01:48:37,760
Speaker 1: they had a lead early on the Raiders. First it

2074
01:48:37,880 --> 01:48:40,120
Speaker 1: was fourteen three and then it was twenty one, ten

2075
01:48:40,160 --> 01:48:43,200
Speaker 1: eleven points. Usually the Chiefs just roll after that, and

2076
01:48:43,360 --> 01:48:46,080
Speaker 1: so to see that they were open for a comeback,

2077
01:48:46,160 --> 01:48:48,799
Speaker 1: it's just surprising to me. And good on the Raiders,

2078
01:48:48,840 --> 01:48:51,439
Speaker 1: who were also I think a good young AFC team.

2079
01:48:51,479 --> 01:48:53,400
Speaker 1: I think they deserve a ton of credit for sticking

2080
01:48:53,479 --> 01:48:56,240
Speaker 1: with it. But this game, I could see it being

2081
01:48:56,320 --> 01:48:58,559
Speaker 1: defensive at times, but just as much being a shootout

2082
01:48:58,600 --> 01:49:01,080
Speaker 1: where it does end up the last team that has

2083
01:49:01,160 --> 01:49:04,040
Speaker 1: the ball maybe gets that field goal or whatever it is.

2084
01:49:04,080 --> 01:49:06,880
Speaker 1: Because I truly think that the seasons line up and

2085
01:49:06,960 --> 01:49:10,360
Speaker 1: these teams are that close, how does Kansas City's offense change?

2086
01:49:10,600 --> 01:49:14,559
Speaker 1: And it's happened before when Sammy Watkins is out, certainly

2087
01:49:14,600 --> 01:49:16,439
Speaker 1: two years ago, they didn't have, you know, me Cole

2088
01:49:16,520 --> 01:49:19,560
Speaker 1: Hardman or these guys. What does Andy Reid usually do

2089
01:49:19,760 --> 01:49:22,519
Speaker 1: to cover up for the loss of a really good player.

2090
01:49:23,800 --> 01:49:26,160
Speaker 1: You gotta rely on some of these other younger players

2091
01:49:26,320 --> 01:49:30,200
Speaker 1: that are not as good as Watkins, but they can

2092
01:49:30,280 --> 01:49:33,080
Speaker 1: do the job. We mentioned DeMarcus Robinson, McCole Hardman and

2093
01:49:33,160 --> 01:49:36,759
Speaker 1: things like that. But blindly to say, I mean bluntly

2094
01:49:37,320 --> 01:49:40,360
Speaker 1: to say I should the Chiefs are just a worse

2095
01:49:40,520 --> 01:49:42,880
Speaker 1: offense without Watkins on the field. And it's not always

2096
01:49:42,920 --> 01:49:45,120
Speaker 1: because Watkins has the ball in his hands. It's what

2097
01:49:45,280 --> 01:49:47,560
Speaker 1: he does is maybe a decoy for what would be

2098
01:49:47,600 --> 01:49:50,880
Speaker 1: a Travis Kelsey or a Tyree Kill. You take Watkins away,

2099
01:49:51,000 --> 01:49:53,200
Speaker 1: It's not like mcole Hardman is coming onto the field

2100
01:49:53,200 --> 01:49:55,160
Speaker 1: and you're saying we have to devote two guys. We

2101
01:49:55,240 --> 01:49:57,600
Speaker 1: have to devote three guys to him. Same thing with

2102
01:49:57,680 --> 01:50:01,520
Speaker 1: DeMarcus Robinson. So it's just more of your talented defenders

2103
01:50:01,560 --> 01:50:05,360
Speaker 1: that can focus on real threats, real blue Ship players

2104
01:50:05,439 --> 01:50:08,280
Speaker 1: like a Tyreek Kill, like a Travis Kelsey, and you

2105
01:50:08,360 --> 01:50:11,920
Speaker 1: can allocate that attention there and maybe at times when

2106
01:50:12,240 --> 01:50:14,040
Speaker 1: it calls for it. Again, I would stress that it

2107
01:50:14,120 --> 01:50:16,200
Speaker 1: probably has to be occasionally when how good Mahomes is

2108
01:50:16,240 --> 01:50:19,240
Speaker 1: playing the blitz, But it allows you to blitz occasionally

2109
01:50:19,360 --> 01:50:21,160
Speaker 1: with an extra guy and still feel like you have

2110
01:50:21,240 --> 01:50:23,520
Speaker 1: the rest of the field covered. And it's a disadvantage

2111
01:50:23,520 --> 01:50:25,439
Speaker 1: for Kansas City. They're gonna miss Watkins the next two

2112
01:50:25,479 --> 01:50:27,680
Speaker 1: to three weeks. He us the editor in chief at

01:50:34,920 --> 01:50:37,040
Speaker 1: Pete Sweeney joining us. Thanks very much, Pete for all

2116
01:50:37,080 --> 01:50:39,360
Speaker 1: the insight. We look forward to the game on Monday.

2117
01:50:39,680 --> 01:50:43,360
Speaker 1: Thanks Pete. Thanks guys. All right, Pete Sweeney with some

2118
01:50:44,000 --> 01:50:47,360
Speaker 1: good tidbits there for sure about this upcoming game. It

2119
01:50:47,560 --> 01:50:49,920
Speaker 1: is interesting how these two teams really mirror each other

2120
01:50:50,000 --> 01:50:51,720
Speaker 1: in terms of what they have been good at to

2121
01:50:51,800 --> 01:50:54,400
Speaker 1: this point this season and where they're struggling right now.

2122
01:50:54,720 --> 01:50:57,840
Speaker 1: Both defenses are struggling. It's crazy to think about it.

2123
01:50:58,640 --> 01:51:01,360
Speaker 1: It's not true. It kind of feels true that this,

2124
01:51:01,640 --> 01:51:03,599
Speaker 1: he said it. You know, for both these teams kind

2125
01:51:03,640 --> 01:51:05,760
Speaker 1: of a must win you're gonna keep pace at the

2126
01:51:05,840 --> 01:51:07,559
Speaker 1: top of the conference. I mean, these are two teams

2127
01:51:07,600 --> 01:51:09,080
Speaker 1: that are thinking they not only want to go to

2128
01:51:09,120 --> 01:51:10,720
Speaker 1: the playoffs, they want to get a bye week, they

2129
01:51:10,800 --> 01:51:12,799
Speaker 1: want to get you know, top seed in the conference.

2130
01:51:12,840 --> 01:51:15,320
Speaker 1: They want to get all of that stuff in their favor.

2131
01:51:15,479 --> 01:51:17,080
Speaker 1: And this early in the season, both of them with

2132
01:51:17,200 --> 01:51:19,880
Speaker 1: one loss. It's amazing that they're both thinking that a

2133
01:51:20,040 --> 01:51:22,439
Speaker 1: second loss in the first half of the season, it's

2134
01:51:22,479 --> 01:51:24,280
Speaker 1: going to be, you know, the tipping point for him.

2135
01:51:24,320 --> 01:51:26,760
Speaker 1: But I think I think that's a little bit of

2136
01:51:26,880 --> 01:51:31,240
Speaker 1: hyperbole for both of these clubs. Certainly, wins are going

2137
01:51:31,280 --> 01:51:33,200
Speaker 1: to be at a premium with the schedule that the

2138
01:51:33,280 --> 01:51:35,479
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills and the rest of the conference, the rest

2139
01:51:35,520 --> 01:51:38,360
Speaker 1: of the division, the AFC East half, with the NFC

2140
01:51:38,560 --> 01:51:40,960
Speaker 1: West on the schedule, the AFC West on the schedule,

2141
01:51:41,880 --> 01:51:45,040
Speaker 1: it's a gauntlet for the AFC East teams to get

2142
01:51:45,120 --> 01:51:47,880
Speaker 1: through all those really good football teams. So any win

2143
01:51:48,120 --> 01:51:51,120
Speaker 1: you can squeeze out of those other two divisions is

2144
01:51:51,160 --> 01:51:53,479
Speaker 1: going to be like goal at the end. I mean,

2145
01:51:53,520 --> 01:51:57,080
Speaker 1: we're five weeks into this season and You've got six

2146
01:51:57,200 --> 01:52:00,920
Speaker 1: teams in the AFC with four victories, six two of

2147
01:52:01,040 --> 01:52:04,600
Speaker 1: whom are still undefeated. Pittsburgh in Tennessee, who you have

2148
01:52:04,760 --> 01:52:06,240
Speaker 1: to believe you're going to be in a race with.

2149
01:52:06,680 --> 01:52:09,120
Speaker 1: And you're already down a game to Tennessee via the

2150
01:52:09,160 --> 01:52:11,439
Speaker 1: head to head, so you want to be down head

2151
01:52:11,479 --> 01:52:13,360
Speaker 1: to head on the Chiefs too. You also got to

2152
01:52:13,360 --> 01:52:14,960
Speaker 1: play Pittsburgh. You don't want to be down head to

2153
01:52:15,040 --> 01:52:18,599
Speaker 1: head on them. So yeah, this game is important because

2154
01:52:18,680 --> 01:52:21,519
Speaker 1: that AFC conference record tiebreaker comes in to play with

2155
01:52:21,640 --> 01:52:23,519
Speaker 1: teams that are not in your division, and it's two things.

2156
01:52:23,600 --> 01:52:25,960
Speaker 1: It's not just that it's a win. It's a win

2157
01:52:26,040 --> 01:52:28,280
Speaker 1: against somebody who's good. You're gonna need to win against

2158
01:52:28,520 --> 01:52:31,879
Speaker 1: right at the ends because another tiebreaker's common games exactly.

2159
01:52:32,000 --> 01:52:34,439
Speaker 1: So you're gonna need to get a win of this

2160
01:52:34,680 --> 01:52:38,479
Speaker 1: caliber against a team like this. Plus, I know the

2161
01:52:38,560 --> 01:52:41,519
Speaker 1: Chiefs have gotten gotten nicked by a division opponent last week,

2162
01:52:41,680 --> 01:52:44,719
Speaker 1: but I've said it to I said it on Kansas

2163
01:52:44,720 --> 01:52:49,160
Speaker 1: City Radio over the weekend as well. This that game

2164
01:52:49,240 --> 01:52:51,839
Speaker 1: that the Raiders put together, he alluded. Pete Sweeney alluded

2165
01:52:51,840 --> 01:52:54,920
Speaker 1: to it, and during our interview that was like a

2166
01:52:55,200 --> 01:52:59,800
Speaker 1: big game for Vegas, John Gruden, Derek Carr, that crew

2167
01:53:00,080 --> 01:53:02,880
Speaker 1: they wanted that game in the worst way, and it showed.

2168
01:53:03,000 --> 01:53:05,280
Speaker 1: They played well, they executed well, they did some things

2169
01:53:05,320 --> 01:53:07,360
Speaker 1: they hadn't done up to that point, which has pushed

2170
01:53:07,400 --> 01:53:10,280
Speaker 1: the ball down the field consistently and it and it

2171
01:53:10,400 --> 01:53:13,160
Speaker 1: gave the Chiefs problems, which becomes easier with Henry Ruggs

2172
01:53:13,200 --> 01:53:16,720
Speaker 1: on the field, that's right. But because of that, you

2173
01:53:16,800 --> 01:53:20,639
Speaker 1: know this is you know, the Chiefs are a team.

2174
01:53:21,240 --> 01:53:23,679
Speaker 1: Anytime you can beat them, a team like the Chiefs,

2175
01:53:23,800 --> 01:53:28,000
Speaker 1: the Vet caliber, defending world champions, it says something about

2176
01:53:28,080 --> 01:53:31,240
Speaker 1: your team to everybody outside the building. But it also, Brownie,

2177
01:53:31,360 --> 01:53:33,519
Speaker 1: take it from me, it says something to the guys

2178
01:53:33,560 --> 01:53:35,880
Speaker 1: in your locker room. When you're a guy, when you

2179
01:53:35,960 --> 01:53:37,840
Speaker 1: look around your locker room and you know that crew

2180
01:53:37,920 --> 01:53:40,040
Speaker 1: in there has beaten the best team in the league,

2181
01:53:41,240 --> 01:53:46,600
Speaker 1: that you prepare better, You're highly motivated, you have more confidence,

2182
01:53:47,920 --> 01:53:49,880
Speaker 1: and it's just a it's it has an effect on

2183
01:53:49,960 --> 01:53:51,960
Speaker 1: you going forward. And I think that's the kind of

2184
01:53:52,000 --> 01:53:54,120
Speaker 1: thing you're looking at for this Bills team going having

2185
01:53:54,160 --> 01:53:56,680
Speaker 1: the Chiefs come into their building and this Monday night,

2186
01:53:57,280 --> 01:54:00,679
Speaker 1: if if the Bills I guess if the Bills beat

2187
01:54:00,760 --> 01:54:03,240
Speaker 1: this team, I guess what I'm saying is it's gonna

2188
01:54:04,120 --> 01:54:06,800
Speaker 1: it's gonna boost them, not just in the standings, but

2189
01:54:06,960 --> 01:54:09,280
Speaker 1: in their own mind and their own confidence. We can

2190
01:54:09,360 --> 01:54:11,599
Speaker 1: hang with anybody. Yeah, I think it's gonna say something.

2191
01:54:11,640 --> 01:54:14,040
Speaker 1: It's going to serve them well down the line. Looking

2192
01:54:14,160 --> 01:54:17,400
Speaker 1: at and I know it's ridiculously early, but looking at

2193
01:54:17,439 --> 01:54:21,200
Speaker 1: the teams that would currently be the seven playoff seeds

2194
01:54:21,240 --> 01:54:26,400
Speaker 1: for the AFC right now, You've got one team from

2195
01:54:26,439 --> 01:54:30,840
Speaker 1: the AFC East and that being Buffalo. You've got um

2196
01:54:32,520 --> 01:54:38,959
Speaker 1: two teams excuse me, one team from the AFC South Tennessee.

2197
01:54:40,080 --> 01:54:43,080
Speaker 1: You've got two teams from the AFC West Kansas City

2198
01:54:43,120 --> 01:54:45,560
Speaker 1: and Las Vegas, which would be the seventh seed. And

2199
01:54:45,720 --> 01:54:55,040
Speaker 1: then you've got three teams from the AFC North Steve Cleveland, Baltimore, Pittsburgh,

2200
01:54:55,120 --> 01:55:00,440
Speaker 1: and Pittsburgh. Three teams three teams from the a SEE North.

2201
01:55:00,560 --> 01:55:03,320
Speaker 1: Right now, they're they all have four wins. Pittsburgh, Baltimore,

2202
01:55:03,360 --> 01:55:06,360
Speaker 1: Cleveland are all four. How about that? How about that?

2203
01:55:07,240 --> 01:55:11,360
Speaker 1: It's big, that's something, and it's early. A lot of

2204
01:55:11,440 --> 01:55:16,520
Speaker 1: this is going to change, not could it will? Some

2205
01:55:16,720 --> 01:55:20,120
Speaker 1: team schedules get considerably harder. Some team schedules get a

2206
01:55:20,160 --> 01:55:23,280
Speaker 1: little bit easier, Bill scheduling getting easier. No, it's not,

2207
01:55:23,800 --> 01:55:26,480
Speaker 1: it is not. And the wins that they have are

2208
01:55:26,520 --> 01:55:30,280
Speaker 1: against teams with good records right now, So so there

2209
01:55:30,320 --> 01:55:32,560
Speaker 1: you go. But that's an early look at the playoff

2210
01:55:32,600 --> 01:55:35,600
Speaker 1: picture for our MSG viewers in terms of the teams

2211
01:55:35,640 --> 01:55:38,600
Speaker 1: and red being the seven qualifiers for all of the

2212
01:55:38,640 --> 01:55:42,560
Speaker 1: playoff berths as it stands right now. All right, we

2213
01:55:42,680 --> 01:55:44,680
Speaker 1: have to take a break, but when we return, we'll

2214
01:55:44,720 --> 01:55:46,920
Speaker 1: get to the tweet sheet. We haven't gotten too that yet,

2215
01:55:47,400 --> 01:55:49,520
Speaker 1: and we want to get to your comments on the

2216
01:55:49,560 --> 01:55:52,120
Speaker 1: tweet sheet to see where you stand on what you

2217
01:55:52,200 --> 01:55:54,920
Speaker 1: feel the Bills need the most going into this game

2218
01:55:54,960 --> 01:55:57,760
Speaker 1: against Kansas City. And if we have time, Steve and

2219
01:55:57,800 --> 01:55:59,800
Speaker 1: I might do a little bit of true false NFL

2220
01:55:59,840 --> 01:56:01,960
Speaker 1: two false, which we haven't done it quite some time,

2221
01:56:02,000 --> 01:56:03,520
Speaker 1: So we'll try to get to that when we return.

2222
01:56:03,640 --> 01:56:05,800
Speaker 1: Here on One Bill's Live presented by Kalata Health, this

2223
01:56:06,000 --> 01:56:20,640
Speaker 1: is Buffalo Bills Radio, Chris Brown, Steve Casker with you

2224
01:56:20,800 --> 01:56:23,520
Speaker 1: final half hour of the show, and we are just

2225
01:56:23,840 --> 01:56:27,240
Speaker 1: now getting to the tweet sheet, which is always is

2226
01:56:27,280 --> 01:56:30,000
Speaker 1: brought to you by Corrigan Moving Systems, the official equipment

2227
01:56:30,080 --> 01:56:34,480
Speaker 1: moving company of the Buffalo Bills, and they're on that

2228
01:56:34,760 --> 01:56:36,840
Speaker 1: very tweet sheet today. We were asking you what's the

2229
01:56:36,880 --> 01:56:39,360
Speaker 1: biggest need for the Bills in their game with the Chiefs,

2230
01:56:40,480 --> 01:56:43,880
Speaker 1: and Anthony leads us off today and he says, a

2231
01:56:44,120 --> 01:56:47,680
Speaker 1: healthy defense is the biggest need right now. The Chiefs

2232
01:56:47,720 --> 01:56:50,840
Speaker 1: have a high powered attack that will be determined coming

2233
01:56:50,960 --> 01:56:54,280
Speaker 1: off their loss to Vegas. We need Milano and White

2234
01:56:54,360 --> 01:57:00,680
Speaker 1: to be healthy and ready for Monday. It'll help. Healthy

2235
01:57:00,800 --> 01:57:03,600
Speaker 1: is good. Um, at least you get a chance, give

2236
01:57:03,600 --> 01:57:08,760
Speaker 1: yourself a chance. I think, like this last game against Tennessee,

2237
01:57:08,800 --> 01:57:10,640
Speaker 1: I think turnovers are going to be an enormous part

2238
01:57:10,680 --> 01:57:13,240
Speaker 1: of this game. I think both these offenses are really

2239
01:57:13,280 --> 01:57:16,760
Speaker 1: hard to get off the field. Basically, for me, the

2240
01:57:16,880 --> 01:57:19,440
Speaker 1: only reason Tennessee got the Bills off the field was

2241
01:57:19,640 --> 01:57:25,880
Speaker 1: the turnovers. But they count it counts. Um, yeah, take

2242
01:57:25,960 --> 01:57:29,400
Speaker 1: the over on this game. I think it could be

2243
01:57:29,480 --> 01:57:31,480
Speaker 1: another one of those games where it's who's got the

2244
01:57:31,560 --> 01:57:35,040
Speaker 1: ball last? And look at where the rams played out,

2245
01:57:35,080 --> 01:57:37,360
Speaker 1: you know, in a much different fashion. It was one

2246
01:57:37,400 --> 01:57:40,160
Speaker 1: sided scoring over here, and then one sided scoring over there,

2247
01:57:40,200 --> 01:57:41,800
Speaker 1: and then it was like who's got the ball last.

2248
01:57:42,320 --> 01:57:44,280
Speaker 1: Where this I think could be more of a back

2249
01:57:44,320 --> 01:57:46,960
Speaker 1: and forth type of affair. There's thirty five thirty two

2250
01:57:47,200 --> 01:57:50,040
Speaker 1: the Rams game, right the final, Yeah, the final was

2251
01:57:50,080 --> 01:57:52,760
Speaker 1: thirty five thirty two that one. This one will kind

2252
01:57:52,760 --> 01:57:56,560
Speaker 1: of right around there, probably looks like that. The Chiefs

2253
01:57:56,600 --> 01:57:59,240
Speaker 1: without Sammy Wadkins changes things for them a little bit,

2254
01:57:59,320 --> 01:58:02,280
Speaker 1: no question about. He's their third leading receiver. It's all out.

2255
01:58:02,360 --> 01:58:05,440
Speaker 1: Like the Bills going without John Brown. That changes things

2256
01:58:05,520 --> 01:58:09,400
Speaker 1: for them as well, although I would say the Bills

2257
01:58:09,440 --> 01:58:11,640
Speaker 1: have depended on Gabriel Davis a lot more than the

2258
01:58:11,720 --> 01:58:14,680
Speaker 1: Chiefs have, even me Cole Hardman, who's a really good

2259
01:58:14,720 --> 01:58:17,920
Speaker 1: player for them as a rookie. So both those clubs

2260
01:58:18,000 --> 01:58:20,440
Speaker 1: have the guys to plug in there, but they're not

2261
01:58:20,560 --> 01:58:25,840
Speaker 1: proven like Sammy Watkins, John Brown. John Brown practiced today,

2262
01:58:25,880 --> 01:58:31,320
Speaker 1: I guess job, but who knows. So, yeah, health is

2263
01:58:31,360 --> 01:58:33,920
Speaker 1: going to be crucial on all levels of both sides

2264
01:58:33,960 --> 01:58:36,760
Speaker 1: of the ball. But yeah, this is going to be

2265
01:58:36,800 --> 01:58:40,160
Speaker 1: a game where, yeah, yeah, I think I'm with you, Brownie.

2266
01:58:40,200 --> 01:58:41,800
Speaker 1: I think it's going to come down to either a

2267
01:58:41,880 --> 01:58:45,800
Speaker 1: mistake or just somebody with the ball last. From Chet

2268
01:58:46,240 --> 01:58:48,560
Speaker 1: on the tweet sheet, going to need all of this

2269
01:58:48,960 --> 01:58:52,120
Speaker 1: and more. I gave you guys choices. You know, do

2270
01:58:52,240 --> 01:58:54,240
Speaker 1: you do you need a bounce back game from the offense,

2271
01:58:54,600 --> 01:58:57,960
Speaker 1: Do you need to get healthy players back from injury,

2272
01:58:58,720 --> 01:59:01,880
Speaker 1: or do you need a better pass rush? On mahomes

2273
01:59:02,000 --> 01:59:05,280
Speaker 1: Chet saying We're gonna need everything and more. Need healthy players,

2274
01:59:05,480 --> 01:59:08,240
Speaker 1: need all players and coaches to be better prepared, better focused,

2275
01:59:08,280 --> 01:59:10,720
Speaker 1: and perform better. And even that might not be enough.

2276
01:59:11,040 --> 01:59:14,600
Speaker 1: This will be a huge challenge. Casey losing last week

2277
01:59:14,720 --> 01:59:20,160
Speaker 1: means they're coming in angry. It will be tough. Not

2278
01:59:20,280 --> 01:59:22,040
Speaker 1: for nothing. The Bills are coming off a loss too,

2279
01:59:22,840 --> 01:59:26,160
Speaker 1: that's right, and they're gonna be focused and that and

2280
01:59:26,400 --> 01:59:28,320
Speaker 1: they have got to be looking at the way they

2281
01:59:28,480 --> 01:59:30,680
Speaker 1: played and saying it was our fault. Yeah, son of

2282
01:59:30,760 --> 01:59:33,600
Speaker 1: a gun, we beat ourselves, the Raiders and maybe the

2283
01:59:33,840 --> 01:59:36,880
Speaker 1: I'm sure the Chiefs field this way. Might Mahomes through

2284
01:59:36,960 --> 01:59:39,320
Speaker 1: the picks in the second half of that game as well,

2285
01:59:39,440 --> 01:59:41,040
Speaker 1: or maybe it was three in the first half. I'm

2286
01:59:41,040 --> 01:59:43,080
Speaker 1: not sure what it was. He threw a bunch of picks,

2287
01:59:43,320 --> 01:59:47,640
Speaker 1: so he's bummed. Uh, that's that's crucial. So both these

2288
01:59:47,680 --> 01:59:49,840
Speaker 1: teams are in the same boat. We'll see how the

2289
01:59:49,880 --> 01:59:51,760
Speaker 1: Bills respond and the Chiefs were prob. We've seen the

2290
01:59:51,800 --> 01:59:56,320
Speaker 1: Chiefs respond before. Um, it's not very often, but you know,

2291
01:59:56,440 --> 01:59:58,720
Speaker 1: like I said, Mahomes is five and two after a

2292
01:59:58,800 --> 02:00:02,600
Speaker 1: loss in his career, so he's only I means seven times.

2293
02:00:03,720 --> 02:00:05,640
Speaker 1: Well you heard what Pete said in the last segment.

2294
02:00:05,680 --> 02:00:08,560
Speaker 1: I mean this team hasn't hadn't lost since November tenth

2295
02:00:09,080 --> 02:00:12,440
Speaker 1: of last year. So yeah, I mean it's like an

2296
02:00:12,480 --> 02:00:16,400
Speaker 1: anomaly almost for them. Right from Nick, I think it'll

2297
02:00:16,480 --> 02:00:20,320
Speaker 1: be all about our offense bouncing back. The Pats and

2298
02:00:20,400 --> 02:00:22,600
Speaker 1: Raiders played good d against the Chiefs, but they still

2299
02:00:22,640 --> 02:00:25,320
Speaker 1: gave up twenty six and thirty two points. No matter

2300
02:00:25,440 --> 02:00:29,720
Speaker 1: how healthy, slash good our defense plays, it's going to

2301
02:00:29,800 --> 02:00:32,480
Speaker 1: be a shootout. We'll need another thirty plus point game

2302
02:00:32,520 --> 02:00:34,920
Speaker 1: from our offense. Well that's kind of what we've been saying. Yeah,

2303
02:00:34,960 --> 02:00:37,640
Speaker 1: I kind of that made sense to me. Agree. Check

2304
02:00:38,080 --> 02:00:40,000
Speaker 1: you can play good defense against the Chiefs and they

2305
02:00:40,040 --> 02:00:43,360
Speaker 1: hang twenty five thirty points on you anyway, Yeah, Yeah,

2306
02:00:43,560 --> 02:00:48,400
Speaker 1: that's true. Yeah, you're josh Own's gotta show up, so

2307
02:00:48,560 --> 02:00:51,200
Speaker 1: do all the receivers. He can't have four drops from

2308
02:00:51,360 --> 02:00:53,680
Speaker 1: four year, can't be Josh by himself. He can't need

2309
02:00:53,760 --> 02:00:57,040
Speaker 1: some picks. You can't have tipped interceptions, you can't fumble

2310
02:00:57,120 --> 02:01:01,320
Speaker 1: the ball away. That's it's that's simple. You need every

2311
02:01:01,600 --> 02:01:04,960
Speaker 1: possession to go the dis You almost have to play

2312
02:01:05,040 --> 02:01:08,120
Speaker 1: the perfect game against this team. You really do to win,

2313
02:01:08,600 --> 02:01:10,880
Speaker 1: I mean, you really do. You gotta You definitely have

2314
02:01:10,960 --> 02:01:13,080
Speaker 1: to win the turnover battle. That Yeah, your margin of

2315
02:01:13,160 --> 02:01:15,160
Speaker 1: air is almost set by the number of mistakes the

2316
02:01:15,280 --> 02:01:17,720
Speaker 1: Chiefs make. Yeah, right, I mean, and if they don't

2317
02:01:17,760 --> 02:01:22,200
Speaker 1: make many, it's razor thin exactly exactly from Jeremy. The

2318
02:01:22,280 --> 02:01:25,240
Speaker 1: return of injured players is crucial, but also they need

2319
02:01:25,280 --> 02:01:27,920
Speaker 1: to forget about Tuesday and whatever emotional slump they were

2320
02:01:27,960 --> 02:01:31,920
Speaker 1: in and get back to weeks one to four form. Yeah,

2321
02:01:33,920 --> 02:01:36,920
Speaker 1: I think that's that's a given. You know, you don't

2322
02:01:37,120 --> 02:01:40,920
Speaker 1: you don't get laser focused and lock in again, you're

2323
02:01:40,920 --> 02:01:43,360
Speaker 1: gonna blink. You're gonna blink and have two losses. Yeah,

2324
02:01:43,360 --> 02:01:44,800
Speaker 1: you have no excuse for it. You this is a

2325
02:01:44,880 --> 02:01:46,880
Speaker 1: game you've you know it's coming, you know one is

2326
02:01:46,880 --> 02:01:50,760
Speaker 1: going to be played, and the finish line is that's

2327
02:01:50,800 --> 02:01:52,680
Speaker 1: not like last week where you didn't know exactly what

2328
02:01:52,880 --> 02:01:54,920
Speaker 1: was happening in which game where you're gonna play, you

2329
02:01:55,000 --> 02:01:58,200
Speaker 1: were gonna play, and you're also, by the way, playing

2330
02:01:58,240 --> 02:02:00,960
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl champions. So it's not like you're thinking

2331
02:02:01,000 --> 02:02:03,680
Speaker 1: that we got these guys right. You know you're gonna

2332
02:02:03,680 --> 02:02:05,360
Speaker 1: have to play well, You're gonna have to prepare well,

2333
02:02:05,400 --> 02:02:08,320
Speaker 1: and you have to execute extremely well. So there is

2334
02:02:08,720 --> 02:02:11,520
Speaker 1: there's no excuse for not showing up sharp this week. Yeah,

2335
02:02:11,960 --> 02:02:15,280
Speaker 1: from Tiffany, she says, pressure, pressure, and more pressure on Mahomes.

2336
02:02:15,720 --> 02:02:17,760
Speaker 1: You better put him on his backside a few times

2337
02:02:17,800 --> 02:02:20,320
Speaker 1: where he's going to carve you apart. It's a challenge

2338
02:02:20,360 --> 02:02:22,520
Speaker 1: to cover all the weapons he has at his disposal.

2339
02:02:22,880 --> 02:02:25,080
Speaker 1: The more uncomfortable he is, the better chance you have

2340
02:02:25,600 --> 02:02:28,480
Speaker 1: to pull off a victory. Now, I will say this,

2341
02:02:29,000 --> 02:02:31,520
Speaker 1: a lot of teams are taking the opposite approach. The

2342
02:02:31,640 --> 02:02:34,320
Speaker 1: Raiders did it last week with some success. We've seen

2343
02:02:34,440 --> 02:02:37,840
Speaker 1: mahomes numbers against the Blitz. They're through the roof, through

2344
02:02:38,000 --> 02:02:42,320
Speaker 1: the roof, Like his completion percentage is over seventy under pressure.

2345
02:02:42,840 --> 02:02:46,280
Speaker 1: I think it's touchdown interception ratio is something like ridiculous

2346
02:02:46,400 --> 02:02:49,600
Speaker 1: twenty to one. I mean, it's just insane. So a

2347
02:02:49,720 --> 02:02:52,880
Speaker 1: lot of teams have said, all right, how about you

2348
02:02:52,960 --> 02:02:55,840
Speaker 1: sit back there and we're gonna drop eight and let's

2349
02:02:55,840 --> 02:02:58,280
Speaker 1: see if you can find somebody. And maybe they can,

2350
02:02:59,560 --> 02:03:01,480
Speaker 1: especially and you've got a guy who's nicknamed the Cheetah

2351
02:03:01,520 --> 02:03:07,400
Speaker 1: running around out there. But I think they feel let's

2352
02:03:07,840 --> 02:03:10,400
Speaker 1: they might take an approach similar to the approach the

2353
02:03:10,440 --> 02:03:12,920
Speaker 1: Titans took with the Bills. Yeah, you know, keep everything

2354
02:03:12,960 --> 02:03:14,840
Speaker 1: in front of us. Let's see you Nicolo dime the

2355
02:03:14,880 --> 02:03:17,560
Speaker 1: ball down the field without making any mistakes. The Raiders

2356
02:03:17,680 --> 02:03:19,880
Speaker 1: did it with three rush, three men rushing in a

2357
02:03:20,000 --> 02:03:23,280
Speaker 1: spy on Mahomes, and seven in coverage and seven in

2358
02:03:23,360 --> 02:03:26,000
Speaker 1: coverage dropping back into coverage. So in seven in coverage

2359
02:03:26,040 --> 02:03:28,160
Speaker 1: you can double team three guys and have a guy

2360
02:03:28,200 --> 02:03:31,600
Speaker 1: over the top or man the other guy. It depends,

2361
02:03:31,680 --> 02:03:34,880
Speaker 1: you know, So they've got If you've got five guys,

2362
02:03:36,640 --> 02:03:43,240
Speaker 1: five guys out and you're rushing three with a spy. Yeah,

2363
02:03:43,360 --> 02:03:45,200
Speaker 1: so you can do the math. And that's what this

2364
02:03:45,280 --> 02:03:48,240
Speaker 1: whole thing is about. Math. The great defenses get pressure

2365
02:03:48,280 --> 02:03:51,080
Speaker 1: with as few of guys as you possibly can. And

2366
02:03:51,240 --> 02:03:54,480
Speaker 1: if you've got a spy on Mahomes, at least theoretically,

2367
02:03:54,520 --> 02:03:57,600
Speaker 1: he's not gonna snap out and bust off a fifteen

2368
02:03:57,680 --> 02:03:59,800
Speaker 1: yard run or you may be able to keep him

2369
02:03:59,840 --> 02:04:03,200
Speaker 1: from running for any first downs. That's something you take

2370
02:04:03,240 --> 02:04:06,280
Speaker 1: away from him if you do that. But then again,

2371
02:04:07,120 --> 02:04:09,320
Speaker 1: how much pressure can you get with just three guys rushing.

2372
02:04:09,360 --> 02:04:11,200
Speaker 1: He may he may carve you up that way, but

2373
02:04:11,520 --> 02:04:14,200
Speaker 1: that's you know, if you blitz him, he is gonna

2374
02:04:14,240 --> 02:04:17,440
Speaker 1: beat you. He's proven it to everybody every defense he's played.

2375
02:04:17,520 --> 02:04:20,960
Speaker 1: He's really good against the blitz. So there you go.

2376
02:04:21,120 --> 02:04:23,320
Speaker 1: I mean, I think you're gonna be doing I can't

2377
02:04:23,360 --> 02:04:24,680
Speaker 1: get more of a chance if you do what the

2378
02:04:24,760 --> 02:04:28,560
Speaker 1: Raiders did. Rush three, spy him, or rush four with

2379
02:04:28,720 --> 02:04:30,640
Speaker 1: one of those guys. If the guys maybe you know,

2380
02:04:30,720 --> 02:04:33,120
Speaker 1: you don't do any stunts up front. Four guys straight

2381
02:04:33,200 --> 02:04:36,200
Speaker 1: up the field, keep him in the pocket, and hopefully

2382
02:04:36,280 --> 02:04:39,160
Speaker 1: you can collapse the pocket around him. From Dinah on

2383
02:04:39,240 --> 02:04:42,120
Speaker 1: the tweet sheet, all your options are important, but the

2384
02:04:42,320 --> 02:04:44,960
Speaker 1: offense needs to bounce back the most. The Chiefs score

2385
02:04:45,240 --> 02:04:48,560
Speaker 1: a lot most of the time. We need to score more.

2386
02:04:50,360 --> 02:04:52,200
Speaker 1: That is the name of the game. And you know

2387
02:04:53,320 --> 02:04:57,040
Speaker 1: you think back over the course of the last to

2388
02:04:57,160 --> 02:05:01,680
Speaker 1: pick your number of years. This is actually an option.

2389
02:05:01,800 --> 02:05:07,320
Speaker 1: This year, Yeah, score more, yeah, two years, three years.

2390
02:05:07,400 --> 02:05:10,560
Speaker 1: Nice isn't it Three years ago with Tyrod, it's like, no,

2391
02:05:10,920 --> 02:05:12,640
Speaker 1: we better you know, we gotta try to get to

2392
02:05:12,760 --> 02:05:15,840
Speaker 1: see the defense locks it down. Yeah, you gotta shorten

2393
02:05:15,920 --> 02:05:19,240
Speaker 1: the game, run the ball, don't give mahomes any Now

2394
02:05:19,400 --> 02:05:21,720
Speaker 1: it's like, no, I think we The better thing for

2395
02:05:21,840 --> 02:05:24,680
Speaker 1: us to do is to score points, more points, a

2396
02:05:24,760 --> 02:05:27,720
Speaker 1: lot of them. That that's never been an option on

2397
02:05:27,840 --> 02:05:35,280
Speaker 1: the table until now, which it's kind of nice. Makes

2398
02:05:35,400 --> 02:05:38,160
Speaker 1: makes for a fun game. It's refreshing, it really is.

2399
02:05:38,280 --> 02:05:40,000
Speaker 1: I won't. I won't deny that, but I think it is.

2400
02:05:40,280 --> 02:05:43,920
Speaker 1: It's a legitimate option, all right, particularly if they if

2401
02:05:43,960 --> 02:05:48,200
Speaker 1: they're healthy. That's the tweet sheets, all right. Brought to

2402
02:05:49,040 --> 02:05:52,320
Speaker 1: moving Systems. Thanks for everybody's input. There time now though

2403
02:05:52,400 --> 02:05:54,839
Speaker 1: for some NFL True Falls, brought to you by Yancy's

2404
02:05:54,840 --> 02:05:58,640
Speaker 1: Fancy New York's artists In Cheese and Steve. We lead

2405
02:05:58,760 --> 02:06:06,320
Speaker 1: off with the Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert. Is the real deal?

2406
02:06:06,720 --> 02:06:12,760
Speaker 1: True or false? Seems like it. It's a small sample size, Yeah,

2407
02:06:14,000 --> 02:06:16,280
Speaker 1: small sample size. And certainly he's not going to be

2408
02:06:17,480 --> 02:06:18,920
Speaker 1: I mean, you don't, you don't. He doesn't have to

2409
02:06:18,960 --> 02:06:20,640
Speaker 1: be the real he doesn't have to be Drew Brees,

2410
02:06:20,760 --> 02:06:24,400
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, Ben Roethlisberger, Tom Brady. He doesn't have to

2411
02:06:24,440 --> 02:06:26,320
Speaker 1: be all of those guys to be the real deal,

2412
02:06:27,640 --> 02:06:31,240
Speaker 1: but he seems like the real deal he does. It

2413
02:06:31,400 --> 02:06:34,640
Speaker 1: was interesting. I was hearing some analysis on what was

2414
02:06:34,680 --> 02:06:36,680
Speaker 1: that the Sunday night game or the Monday night game,

2415
02:06:36,920 --> 02:06:41,520
Speaker 1: the one we're watching now, Chargers Saints. It was Monday Night, Okay.

2416
02:06:41,840 --> 02:06:47,760
Speaker 1: So they were talking about Herbert and how advanced his

2417
02:06:47,960 --> 02:06:51,000
Speaker 1: processing of the game is, and one of the analysts

2418
02:06:51,120 --> 02:06:53,760
Speaker 1: was saying, you know, at Oregon, he didn't really get

2419
02:06:53,760 --> 02:06:58,040
Speaker 1: an opportunity to demonstrate his football IQ because the offense

2420
02:06:58,160 --> 02:07:00,360
Speaker 1: is so simplistic. You know, you see all these fences

2421
02:07:00,360 --> 02:07:02,920
Speaker 1: in college, and you know there's no huddle. You're killing

2422
02:07:04,000 --> 02:07:07,880
Speaker 1: you look going through the progressions. And so they were

2423
02:07:07,920 --> 02:07:10,960
Speaker 1: of the opinion that Herbert never really had the opportunity

2424
02:07:11,320 --> 02:07:15,000
Speaker 1: to show just how astute a player he was and

2425
02:07:15,280 --> 02:07:17,680
Speaker 1: what a high football IQ he had. Now he has

2426
02:07:17,720 --> 02:07:20,000
Speaker 1: the opportunity to do it, and he's doing it. And

2427
02:07:20,160 --> 02:07:23,760
Speaker 1: he's got a big arm too. And I gotta tell you,

2428
02:07:23,880 --> 02:07:26,760
Speaker 1: the thing that has me most excited about Monday night

2429
02:07:27,240 --> 02:07:31,120
Speaker 1: is how well this rookie played against the Chiefs with

2430
02:07:31,400 --> 02:07:34,840
Speaker 1: five minutes noticed that he was starting, and he throws

2431
02:07:34,880 --> 02:07:38,080
Speaker 1: for over three hundred yards and loses on a fifty

2432
02:07:38,160 --> 02:07:41,440
Speaker 1: eight yard field goal. It's good point. That gives me

2433
02:07:41,560 --> 02:07:45,680
Speaker 1: hope for Monday. Yeah, it's true. I will say true

2434
02:07:45,720 --> 02:07:49,680
Speaker 1: by the way to this, it's true. But it's a

2435
02:07:49,800 --> 02:07:51,760
Speaker 1: level playing field in the league. Ever, you know, the

2436
02:07:51,840 --> 02:07:53,520
Speaker 1: bad teams get a chance to get better, and the

2437
02:07:53,600 --> 02:07:55,720
Speaker 1: good teams get you know, hamstrung and their ability to

2438
02:07:55,800 --> 02:07:57,840
Speaker 1: pick good players on the waiver wire and the draft

2439
02:07:57,920 --> 02:08:00,440
Speaker 1: prostain good pay retain good players of the money they

2440
02:08:00,480 --> 02:08:05,760
Speaker 1: have to pay him. So, yeah, the Chiefs can be had,

2441
02:08:07,000 --> 02:08:09,200
Speaker 1: But I'm telling you, you don't do that to the

2442
02:08:09,320 --> 02:08:12,080
Speaker 1: defending world champions. As a rookie who found out five

2443
02:08:12,200 --> 02:08:15,120
Speaker 1: seconds before he's gonna start. Now I get some of that.

2444
02:08:15,200 --> 02:08:17,120
Speaker 1: In some ways, that's better because he didn't much to

2445
02:08:17,120 --> 02:08:21,040
Speaker 1: think about it. Just play, man, just play. But that

2446
02:08:21,200 --> 02:08:23,320
Speaker 1: still says something about where that kid's heads at, and

2447
02:08:23,440 --> 02:08:25,360
Speaker 1: I you gotta tip your hat to him. That's a

2448
02:08:25,400 --> 02:08:27,960
Speaker 1: big deal. Yeah, getting beat by the World champions in

2449
02:08:27,960 --> 02:08:30,440
Speaker 1: a fifty eight yard or that they had to kick

2450
02:08:30,520 --> 02:08:34,720
Speaker 1: three times or twice after a penalty, Yeah, all right. True.

2451
02:08:34,760 --> 02:08:39,600
Speaker 1: False number two, Andy Dalton, the Red Rifle, will lead

2452
02:08:39,720 --> 02:08:44,280
Speaker 1: the Cowboys and revive his career. True or false. As

2453
02:08:44,360 --> 02:08:46,680
Speaker 1: we all know, he's playing the rest of the string

2454
02:08:46,720 --> 02:08:49,720
Speaker 1: out for the Cowboys with Dak Prescott out for the year.

2455
02:08:51,640 --> 02:08:54,440
Speaker 1: He's gonna play well. He's gonna play well for You

2456
02:08:54,520 --> 02:08:56,800
Speaker 1: could do a lot worse than Andy Dalton. Yes, that

2457
02:08:56,960 --> 02:08:59,160
Speaker 1: might be the best backup, one of the best backup

2458
02:08:59,200 --> 02:09:04,000
Speaker 1: options in the entire He's gonna play well now the team,

2459
02:09:04,080 --> 02:09:06,000
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a different kind of game with him

2460
02:09:06,040 --> 02:09:10,360
Speaker 1: in there, no question about it. My god, what a crew, right,

2461
02:09:10,920 --> 02:09:15,360
Speaker 1: The Cowboys are talented. I don't Yeah, he's gonna play

2462
02:09:15,400 --> 02:09:16,920
Speaker 1: well now. I don't know that he's gonna be in

2463
02:09:16,960 --> 02:09:22,240
Speaker 1: a position after this season's over to command some big contract.

2464
02:09:22,560 --> 02:09:25,440
Speaker 1: I don't know about all that. But he's gonna show

2465
02:09:26,360 --> 02:09:28,960
Speaker 1: what he can do on a good team when he's supported,

2466
02:09:29,120 --> 02:09:31,400
Speaker 1: Unlike he was in Cincinnati for a lot of years.

2467
02:09:31,480 --> 02:09:33,240
Speaker 1: I mean, he got him to the playoffs four straight

2468
02:09:33,320 --> 02:09:35,760
Speaker 1: years and was one and done when it push comes

2469
02:09:35,800 --> 02:09:37,640
Speaker 1: to shove. He's not the guy that's going to carry

2470
02:09:37,680 --> 02:09:40,400
Speaker 1: the franchise on his back, but he certainly knows how

2471
02:09:40,480 --> 02:09:44,920
Speaker 1: to drive one. So he's been a quarterback forever. I mean,

2472
02:09:45,160 --> 02:09:49,560
Speaker 1: and he's a Texas he's an underrated thrower of the football. Uh,

2473
02:09:50,120 --> 02:09:52,640
Speaker 1: he's gonna play well for those guys now he's now.

2474
02:09:52,920 --> 02:09:57,560
Speaker 1: I don't know what the question was his career. This

2475
02:09:57,680 --> 02:09:59,560
Speaker 1: won't be his last year in the league. I know that,

2476
02:10:00,200 --> 02:10:02,080
Speaker 1: and the Cowboys will say, Wow, he played great, we'll

2477
02:10:02,080 --> 02:10:03,960
Speaker 1: bring They're gonna bring him back if if they don't,

2478
02:10:04,200 --> 02:10:08,480
Speaker 1: you know, so yes, I guess i'd say probably yes

2479
02:10:08,720 --> 02:10:11,920
Speaker 1: rather than no. Yeah. Um, I don't think he's gonna

2480
02:10:12,000 --> 02:10:13,760
Speaker 1: you know, he's not in a position at his age

2481
02:10:13,800 --> 02:10:15,880
Speaker 1: where he's gonna be a guy where somebody's gonna get

2482
02:10:17,280 --> 02:10:20,000
Speaker 1: eleven drafts. So he's a nine year Vet's thirty one,

2483
02:10:20,160 --> 02:10:23,320
Speaker 1: So he's thirty. That's that's that's prime years for a quarterback.

2484
02:10:23,920 --> 02:10:26,200
Speaker 1: I wonder if he could get a starting gig somewhere else,

2485
02:10:26,280 --> 02:10:29,600
Speaker 1: you know, some team that's desperate for a qb um

2486
02:10:29,880 --> 02:10:33,520
Speaker 1: or just wants just wants the position stabilized. Here. Hey, look,

2487
02:10:33,520 --> 02:10:35,520
Speaker 1: we're not looking for a world beater. We just need

2488
02:10:35,560 --> 02:10:39,000
Speaker 1: a steady Eddie in there to run this offense everywhere.

2489
02:10:39,120 --> 02:10:41,720
Speaker 1: He'll be a guy that the New York Jets signed

2490
02:10:41,800 --> 02:10:44,280
Speaker 1: to play next year after they go oh and sixteen

2491
02:10:44,320 --> 02:10:47,960
Speaker 1: and draft Trevor Lawrence. You know what I'm saying, he'll

2492
02:10:48,000 --> 02:10:50,880
Speaker 1: be He'll start for the Jets next year and hold

2493
02:10:50,960 --> 02:10:54,040
Speaker 1: that seat for Trevor Lawrence in twenty twenty two. You

2494
02:10:54,080 --> 02:10:55,560
Speaker 1: know what I mean. That's what I'm thinking. I am

2495
02:10:55,600 --> 02:10:58,640
Speaker 1: gonna say Falls only because of the way I interpreted

2496
02:10:58,680 --> 02:11:02,320
Speaker 1: the question. I interpreted reviving his career like getting a

2497
02:11:02,600 --> 02:11:05,560
Speaker 1: premo starting job somewhere else. I agree with you. I

2498
02:11:05,640 --> 02:11:07,960
Speaker 1: think he will play well, but I don't know if

2499
02:11:07,960 --> 02:11:09,800
Speaker 1: it's going to be the degree where people are like, ooh,

2500
02:11:09,880 --> 02:11:12,560
Speaker 1: I want to I want this guy for my starter. Yeah,

2501
02:11:12,640 --> 02:11:14,800
Speaker 1: he's gonna get to a level where somebody will want

2502
02:11:14,880 --> 02:11:18,040
Speaker 1: him to hold us be a placeholder for a young quarterback. Yeah,

2503
02:11:18,400 --> 02:11:20,280
Speaker 1: all right, that's NFL True Falls. Brought to you by

2504
02:11:20,360 --> 02:11:22,640
Speaker 1: Yancy's Fancy New York's Artists and Cheese got a break.

2505
02:11:22,720 --> 02:11:24,800
Speaker 1: But back for the final segment, What have we learned?

2506
02:11:25,000 --> 02:11:26,960
Speaker 1: When we return here on One Bill's Live, presented by

2507
02:11:27,000 --> 02:11:43,160
Speaker 1: Kalida Health, It's Buffalo Bill's Radio time for what have

2508
02:11:43,440 --> 02:11:46,440
Speaker 1: we learned from today's show? Brought to you, as always

2509
02:11:46,520 --> 02:11:50,440
Speaker 1: by Skyworks, the Official Construction Equipment Rental Company of the

2510
02:11:50,520 --> 02:11:53,160
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills and Steve I think we learned that the

2511
02:11:53,240 --> 02:11:55,879
Speaker 1: Chief's defense is suffering from some of the same problems

2512
02:11:56,360 --> 02:11:59,400
Speaker 1: that the Bills defense is suffering from. Can't get off

2513
02:11:59,440 --> 02:12:03,720
Speaker 1: the field, given up a ton of yards. They're they're

2514
02:12:03,760 --> 02:12:05,920
Speaker 1: worse against the run than the Bills by a mile.

2515
02:12:06,080 --> 02:12:08,000
Speaker 1: I mean, they are twenty ninth in the league and

2516
02:12:08,160 --> 02:12:13,360
Speaker 1: run defense. And where they've been lucky is in points allowed.

2517
02:12:13,440 --> 02:12:16,720
Speaker 1: They're only seventh in points allowed. That's even after given

2518
02:12:16,800 --> 02:12:19,040
Speaker 1: up forty to the Raiders. Right, teams have had a

2519
02:12:19,080 --> 02:12:22,440
Speaker 1: hard time scorn points on them. They move the ball fine,

2520
02:12:22,600 --> 02:12:25,760
Speaker 1: you know, and it's something and I'd say this, it's

2521
02:12:25,800 --> 02:12:27,480
Speaker 1: like a page out of the New England book. Yeah,

2522
02:12:27,520 --> 02:12:29,840
Speaker 1: but the Bills have been a really good red zone team.

2523
02:12:29,960 --> 02:12:31,920
Speaker 1: Josh Allen has yet to throw a red zone intersect.

2524
02:12:32,080 --> 02:12:33,760
Speaker 1: Let me just knock on woods. As yet to throw

2525
02:12:33,800 --> 02:12:37,560
Speaker 1: a red zone interception in his career, despite that he

2526
02:12:37,640 --> 02:12:39,560
Speaker 1: threw two or the other night, well he was credited

2527
02:12:39,560 --> 02:12:42,560
Speaker 1: with two. He threw one bad one last on Tuesday.

2528
02:12:43,120 --> 02:12:46,680
Speaker 1: But the Bills have been really good in the red zone,

2529
02:12:46,920 --> 02:12:50,160
Speaker 1: mostly because Josh Allen a throws the ball really well

2530
02:12:50,240 --> 02:12:52,760
Speaker 1: down there. He's never thrown a red zone interception, and

2531
02:12:52,960 --> 02:12:54,920
Speaker 1: he can run with the ball down there, which is

2532
02:12:54,960 --> 02:12:58,560
Speaker 1: a huge concern for any defense they face. So all

2533
02:12:58,600 --> 02:13:01,760
Speaker 1: of that stuff together would give the Bills I think,

2534
02:13:01,800 --> 02:13:03,520
Speaker 1: if they can get in the red zone, a chance

2535
02:13:03,600 --> 02:13:06,400
Speaker 1: to punch it in. But the treat Chiefs have not

2536
02:13:06,560 --> 02:13:09,040
Speaker 1: been vulnerable to that. They've been really good down there,

2537
02:13:09,280 --> 02:13:13,200
Speaker 1: and that's got to be concerned. And you know, among

2538
02:13:13,360 --> 02:13:15,360
Speaker 1: they're beat up on the defensive side of the ball.

2539
02:13:15,400 --> 02:13:17,440
Speaker 1: They also are gonna be missing an offensive lineman and

2540
02:13:17,560 --> 02:13:22,520
Speaker 1: left guard, Collecio Semele, who tore some tendons in his shoulder,

2541
02:13:22,600 --> 02:13:24,640
Speaker 1: I believe, so he's not gonna play. Doesn't look like

2542
02:13:24,720 --> 02:13:27,400
Speaker 1: Sammy Watkins is gonna play. Legarius sneed one of their

2543
02:13:27,880 --> 02:13:30,400
Speaker 1: top cover guys. He looks like he's gonna be out

2544
02:13:30,440 --> 02:13:32,720
Speaker 1: as well, so they're gonna be shorthanded. Hopefully the Bills

2545
02:13:32,760 --> 02:13:35,560
Speaker 1: can get healthy this week, and by keeping guys out

2546
02:13:35,600 --> 02:13:39,040
Speaker 1: like John Brown last week, maybe it helps for him

2547
02:13:39,080 --> 02:13:41,440
Speaker 1: being available this week. We'll have to see. Yeah, maybe

2548
02:13:41,520 --> 02:13:44,840
Speaker 1: it's we'll see. But both teams have got some problems

2549
02:13:44,880 --> 02:13:46,400
Speaker 1: with both of them are getting a little bit healthier

2550
02:13:46,440 --> 02:13:48,960
Speaker 1: as time goes on at a time, but back with

2551
02:13:49,080 --> 02:13:51,400
