1
00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 1: This is One Bill's Live presented by Kalida Health.

2
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:39,559
Speaker 2: How you'd be on this Thursday? Chris Brown, Steve Tasker

3
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:42,600
Speaker 2: with you. One Bill's Live is your program of choice.

4
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 2: Thanks for choosing it. Steve and I here on a

5
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 2: getaway Thursday, as we will be the fortunate recipients of

6
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:57,720
Speaker 2: a long Memorial Day weekend, and of course we remember

7
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 2: those who paid the ultimate price in defending our freedom

8
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 2: of this country. As a as a descendant of three

9
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 2: generations of those who served, I say thank you to

10
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 2: those who did not come home for making the ultimate sacrifice.

11
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 2: So thank you for that. And to all those families

12
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 2: who made those sacrifices with their respective family members who serve,

13
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 2: thank you as well, because you make just as many sacrifices.

14
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 2: But we are getting into football topics. Team out on

15
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 2: the field today. Practice not open to the media nor us.

16
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:37,840
Speaker 2: But we hear the music pumping just yards away from

17
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 2: our office. It's it's so tempting, Steve, wat you want

18
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 2: to sneak a peek?

19
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, I watched. I stood in the doorway of the

20
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 3: building what for about thirty seconds, and then I started

21
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 3: feeling creepy, so I left.

22
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 2: You didn't want to be creepy, creepy old guy watching

23
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 2: the I.

24
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 3: Saw him break the huddle once it was glory. I

25
00:01:57,320 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 3: felt so naughty.

26
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 2: But yes, they are hard at work again today. They

27
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 2: have another session tomorrow, and then we will be able

28
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 2: to see a session early next week, and then we'll

29
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 2: obviously bring you any and all details from that session

30
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 2: here on the show and on Buffalo bills dot com

31
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:23,080
Speaker 2: as well. Earlier this week we heard from Josh Allen,

32
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 2: we heard from Sean McDermott, and not surprisingly, the subject

33
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:30,919
Speaker 2: of Josh and his game and advancing it came up

34
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 2: in short order. And I think we all are completely

35
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 2: aware of the fact that those around Josh and Josh

36
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:48,080
Speaker 2: himself has stated that he is locked in in a

37
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:51,399
Speaker 2: way that he has never been before. Not to say

38
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:53,799
Speaker 2: he wasn't trying hard, giving his best and all of

39
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:58,680
Speaker 2: that stuff, but I think Josh has made it plain

40
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:03,080
Speaker 2: that he has removed anything from his life that he

41
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:06,520
Speaker 2: deems a distraction from his ultimate goal, which is bringing

42
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:11,079
Speaker 2: a championship to Buffalo. And so with that in mind,

43
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 2: we do have our Twitter topic out there for you

44
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 2: to respond to today, and it goes like this, Josh

45
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 2: Allen is Laker laser focused for the twenty twenty three season.

46
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 2: What changes do you think he makes to his game?

47
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 2: Give us your thoughts on that at AIGHTEO three h

48
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 2: five fifty one eight eight eight five point fifty two

49

Speaker 2: five fifty the number to get on board. We also,

50
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 2: since this is a getaway Thursday and we will not

51
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 2: have a show on Friday, we also wanted to do

52

54
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 2: So if you have any questions about the team, what

55
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 2: we've seen on the practice field to this point, questions

56
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 2: about the league, maybe some of those rule changes that

57
00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 2: we were talking about earlier this week, fire off your

58
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,000

61
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 2: five point fifty the number to dial in, So Steve,

62
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:16,159
Speaker 2: there is also NFL News, which I think is kind

63
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, this time of year, how interesting

64
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 2: is the NFL news? Who's moving the meter? You know

65
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:26,360
Speaker 2: that kind of stuff. There is one note here, maybe two,

66
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 2: and we'll kind of dive into all of it. But

67
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 2: let's go around the NFL here brought to you by

68
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:38,039
Speaker 2: Kalida Health, and we begin Steve with Lamar Jackson, who

69
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 2: has you know, met the meeting at OTAs down there

70
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:44,479
Speaker 2: in Baltimore or Owings Mills, Maryland wherever they practice, right,

71
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:49,159
Speaker 2: And he's been asked, naturally a lot of questions about

72
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 2: the new offense with offensive coordinator Todd Monkin, who has

73
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:56,840
Speaker 2: years in the league as a coordinator Tampa Bay, Atlanta,

74
00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:00,480
Speaker 2: a couple other places, but most recently was the offensive

75
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:03,720
Speaker 2: coordinator at the University of Georgia. He has since left.

76
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:05,480
Speaker 2: He is now with the Ravens as their new OC,

77
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:09,160
Speaker 2: replacing Greg Roman. So Lamar Jackson was asked the other

78
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:13,039
Speaker 2: day what's different about this Ravens offense, and he said,

79
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:20,159
Speaker 2: less running, more passing, and he believes the offense is

80
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:23,280
Speaker 2: going to allow him to throw the ball down the

81
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 2: field more. He said, running can only take you so far.

82
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 2: What I'm seeing in this offense, it's looking tremendous. My

83
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 2: question to you, Steve, is Lamar going to be a

84
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 2: better all around quarterback from a passing perspective because of

85
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:43,160
Speaker 2: this offensive system being implemented in Baltimore.

86
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:47,280
Speaker 3: Yes, he will be he will be forced to be

87
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 3: a little bit more well rounded. I think his numbers

88
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:52,720
Speaker 3: passing are obviously going to be going up than from

89
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 3: where they were a year ago and two years ago.

90
00:05:55,400 --> 00:06:00,359
Speaker 3: Even in his MVP year. He will look better. But

91
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 3: will this offense be a pass first offense. No, I

92
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 3: don't think so. I don't think that.

93
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:08,839
Speaker 4: No.

94
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 3: I think they will begin with that idea, and I

95
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 3: think they'll evolve back to what they do best, and

96
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:19,279
Speaker 3: that is Lamar with the ball in his hands, run around.

97
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 2: I think the reason that there is this perception or

98
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 2: assumption that with Todd Monkin and the free agent additions

99
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 2: Miles Boykin, Nelson, Aguilore, Odell Beckham Junior, and a draft

100
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 2: choice in Zay Flowers, people are like, oh, they're loading

101
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:45,919
Speaker 2: up to throw. Now. Look have they upgraded their talent

102
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 2: at the receiver position. I would say they have. I

103
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 2: just don't know if it changes who Lamar Jackson is.

104
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:59,039
Speaker 2: And let's not forget this either. Opposing defenses, the game

105
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:02,720
Speaker 2: plan against Lamar Jackson in the passing game is to

106
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 2: give him anything he wants outside the numbers. Just do

107
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 2: not give him the middle of the field. Between the numbers.

108
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:13,120
Speaker 2: He is deadly accurate between the numbers. Outside the numbers

109
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 2: is where his game falls off a bit. Right now.

110
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 2: I'm not saying he can't improve that and make that better,

111
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 2: But how much does that limit his coordinator if he

112
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 2: can't be consistent outside the numbers throwing the football? And

113
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 2: is that an oversimplification?

114
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 3: Said this first? They know better than I do, Lamar Jackson,

115
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 3: John Harbaugh know a lot better than I do. But

116
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 3: I would I I'd be hesitant to throw this all

117
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 3: on the feet of their former offensive coordinator, Greg Roman.

118
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 3: Most NFL coordinators, and Greg Roman is one of those guys.

119
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 3: They run an offense and call plays because they know

120
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 3: what their guys can do. They formulate game plans knowing

121
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 3: what their guys can do, and that what they do best.

122
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 3: They stay away from doing things they don't think their

123
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 3: guy can do. And they see the guy every day,

124
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 3: as does everybody else on the coaching staff. So I

125
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 3: think to throw, you know, Greg Roman under the bus

126
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 3: might be a little premature because there's nobody nobody was

127
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 3: trying to win games more than Greg Roman, and I don't.

128
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 3: I don't know Greg Roman well at all.

129
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:27,800
Speaker 2: That three tight end offense they ran in twenty eighteen

130
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 2: was a freight train. They we were fourteen to two.

131
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 3: Right, Lamar did have a high, you know, sixty two

132
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 3: point three percent completion percentage. He was six point nine

133
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:45,760
Speaker 3: per attempt, seventeen tds seven interceptions didn't get intercepted all

134
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 3: that much two point one percent. I think he's you know,

135
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:54,440
Speaker 3: he has some things he does well. I think Mark

136
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:59,680
Speaker 3: Andrews is a beneficiary of that. But when they start

137
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 3: call and plays, the question is going to be can

138
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:07,320
Speaker 3: Lamar make us see and believe all that stuff we

139
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,959
Speaker 3: thought about him was not true? When you see guys

140
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:14,439
Speaker 3: running the corner route at seventeen yards or a flat

141
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:18,720
Speaker 3: deep comeback, he ain't cutting it loose. Bill's fans saw

142
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:23,960
Speaker 3: that with Tyrod. Tyrod wouldn't cut it loose, and it

143
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 3: was frustrating. So that's up to Lamar. Certainly, Todd Munkin's

144
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:33,079
Speaker 3: got the chops to get it done. He can design plays,

145
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:36,719
Speaker 3: and I don't know that Greg Roman couldn't. It's a

146
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 3: different story if you're saying Greg Roman wouldn't. We'll never

147
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:46,600
Speaker 3: know that. But that's the idea Lamar is. They changed,

148
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 3: They entirely revamped their entire offensive philosophy. When they drafted him,

149
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 3: They got rid of the highest paid quarterback, super Bowl

150
00:09:56,720 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 3: winning quarterback in their franchise's history. Because of all those things,

151
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 3: Because of Lamar, they went all in with this run offense,

152
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:13,840
Speaker 3: offensive coordinator for Lamar. They paid Lamar the you know,

153
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 3: offensive new offensive coordinator for Lamar. This first one was

154
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:21,719
Speaker 3: for Lamar. Now this one's for Lamar as well. You

155
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:23,959
Speaker 3: know they're running out of they're running out of options.

156
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:25,720
Speaker 2: But they and they flipped the script on what the

157
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 2: offense is going to be focused on.

158
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 3: Now it's up to Lamar to develop into this other

159
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:33,320
Speaker 3: offensive coordinator. The first offensive coordinator brought him along, got

160
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 3: him an MVP. You think Todd Monkin is going to

161
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:39,199
Speaker 3: get Lamar Jackson another MVP. That's a real question. I

162
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 3: don't know, that's the question.

163
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:44,960
Speaker 2: We'll have to see the new England Patriots, Steve, this

164
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 2: is going to bring a smile to your face forfeiting

165
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 2: two days of OTAs due to violations of off season rules.

166
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 2: So two days of practice scrapped, which you say, ah,

167
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 2: what's the big deal, Well, it's twenty percent of your

168
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 2: OT eight schedule, so it's not nothing. And that team

169
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 2: right now needs all the help they can get, especially

170
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 2: you know, putting in new elements of the offense fitting

171
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 2: the offensive lineback together. Pro Football Talk is reporting that,

172
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:20,200
Speaker 2: according to a source with knowledge of the situation, it

173
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 2: was a meeting violation that got the Patriots pinched. According

174
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 2: to the source, an observer from the NFL Players Association

175
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:32,199
Speaker 2: asserted that one of the optional early offseason meetings was

176
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:36,440
Speaker 2: a violation because the fifteen minute meeting in question, which

177
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 2: was a special team session, was made visible on the

178
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 2: internal schedule. In the opinion of the players Association, placing

179
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 2: the meeting on the formal schedule converted it from optional

180
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 2: to mandatory, which is a violation. How'd you like getting

181
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:55,839
Speaker 2: pinched two practices for a fifteen minute special teams meeting

182
00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:58,600
Speaker 2: that you mistakenly listed on your daily schedule.

183
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, Yeah, that's that's pretty petty. Even by that happened

184
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:06,080
Speaker 3: to a better team Patriots standards gon't happened to a

185
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:11,680
Speaker 3: better team, right, even by my you know, unforgiving stance

186
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 3: on the Patriots in the past. And I'm gonna say,

187
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 3: I'm gonna say, wow, So you're gonna like, that's not

188
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:17,920
Speaker 3: as tasty as I wished it would have been.

189
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 2: You're gonna like this. You're gonna like this though.

190
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 3: Yeah.

191
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:26,440
Speaker 2: One Patriots fan in response to the report when it

192
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 2: first came out, we didn't know why it was. The

193
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:33,840
Speaker 2: guy said, we're cheating again. Awesome. I feel so much

194
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:36,120
Speaker 2: better about the outlook for the twenty twenty threes.

195
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 3: Ring number seven's on the way. We're cheating again.

196
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:45,040
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, that it went.

197
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:48,839
Speaker 3: I read some of those responses and they all went

198
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 3: down and they paid. Even Patriot fans are like going, sweet,

199
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:53,440
Speaker 3: we're back in a saddle.

200
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 2: You know, we're cutting corner.

201
00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:57,200
Speaker 5: We are.

202
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 3: We are doing it the way we have always done it. Man,

203
00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:05,280
Speaker 3: we're back. We are back in championship mode. Pretty funny stuff.

204
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:10,959
Speaker 3: And you can imagine because Goodal's been there. He's been

205
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 3: the I think he's been the commissioner ever since Belichick

206
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:13,720
Speaker 3: had that job.

207
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:14,840
Speaker 2: He's been the hammer.

208
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 3: He's got to be like like just rubbing his forehead,

209
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 3: going on, what are you doing up there? Plus he's

210
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 3: also doing that going listen, keep an eye on those jokers. Yeah,

211
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:28,440
Speaker 3: don't let anything happen, because I don't.

212
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 2: Don't let anything slide. Right, fifteen minute meeting.

213
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:33,720
Speaker 3: I don't care let him practice slide because I don't

214
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:36,679
Speaker 3: want to be dragged through the mud having to suspend

215
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 3: mac Jones or I certainly don't want to suspend Bill

216
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:43,199
Speaker 3: Belichick again. And you know, find them because you know what,

217
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 3: we know this their owner is on board with it.

218
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 3: Yeah he's not. We can't trust him to let us know.

219
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 3: So just watch those guys, would you please?

220
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 2: And I mean, that's that's fine tooth calm stuff. Right

221
00:13:58,120 --> 00:13:59,040
Speaker 2: fifteen they.

222
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:01,200
Speaker 3: Put a meeting, it was gonna happen. They put her

223
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 3: on the schedule. Yeah, well that means you gotta be there,

224
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 3: doesn't it.

225
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 2: It's no longer option.

226
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:17,120
Speaker 3: Well I guess, well it is not optional, all.

227
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 2: Right, Just do what you gotta do.

228
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:16,960
Speaker 3: Whatever.

229
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 2: That so delicious, it's all. Every one of those morsels

230
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:22,840
Speaker 2: is tasty.

231
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:30,880
Speaker 3: Even even seeing them get caught is like, And the

232
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 3: only reason the media up there, I can't even I

233
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:36,120
Speaker 3: can't even relish the feeling of them getting caught for

234
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:36,760
Speaker 3: something like this.

235
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:38,840
Speaker 2: I mean, I know. And the only reason the media

236
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 2: got kind of put on the scent of that was

237
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:45,520
Speaker 2: they were supposed to have practice yesterday and then all

238
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 2: of a sudden it got scrapped in like the eleventh hour,

239
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 2: and something's going on what so, you know, a lot

240
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:55,160
Speaker 2: of the good reporters up there, like Mike Reese, who

241
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 2: we had on last week on the show, you know,

242
00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 2: did some digging and found out oh well, unbelievable, uh,

243
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:11,640
Speaker 2: from middling to just outright poor. The Raiders quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo, Steve,

244
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 2: We've we've learned from some good reporting from some people

245
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:17,120
Speaker 2: at the athletic including VIC to four.

246
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 3: UH.

247
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 2: Quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo underwent foot surgery after signing with Las

248
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:26,640
Speaker 2: Vegas in March. He's not on the field for Raiders

249
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 2: OTAs an exact timeline for his return is unknown, though

250
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 2: the sense from the team is he'll be ready for

251
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:41,160
Speaker 2: the season. The Raiders apparently discovered Garoppolo's foot problem at

252
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:44,680
Speaker 2: his physical and they found that his foot was not

253
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 2: fully healed and he'd have to undergo a procedure to

254
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:52,800
Speaker 2: correct it. And so that's why his introductory press conference

255
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:57,040
Speaker 2: and official signing back in March was pushed back a day.

256
00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 2: But Steve, I know that Garopa is familiar with Josh

257
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:05,000
Speaker 2: McDaniel's system, having played in it in New England, albeit

258
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 2: as a backup. But this guy's got to get on

259
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 2: the field with his with his receivers and his backs

260
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 2: and his you know what I mean, Like, he's not

261
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:18,280
Speaker 2: gonna do that through OTAs. They're saying he'll be ready

262
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 2: for the season. Well, does that mean he's missing training

263
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 2: camp too?

264
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 6: Yeah?

265
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:25,280
Speaker 3: I sense a top five draft pick for this.

266
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:27,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, sign me up for a five to twelve Raiders season.

267
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:31,120
Speaker 3: I mean my got I sense a top five draft

268
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:31,720
Speaker 3: pick for them.

269
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:34,880
Speaker 2: Who would have thought they regret moving on from Derek Carr?

270
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 2: They might be there already. Season hasn't even started. Good grief.

271
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:44,160
Speaker 2: I mean, that's the Raiders though these days. Uh, we

272
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:47,400
Speaker 2: said it already, We'll say it again. The OBL fan

273
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 2: mailbag is open a day early because Steve and I

274
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 2: are here on a getaway Thursday for Memorial Day weekend.

275
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 2: That's number one. Number two our topic of discussion. Josh

276
00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 2: Allen is laser focused for the twenty twenty three season.

277
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 2: What changes do you think he'll be making in his

278
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:06,639
Speaker 2: game this year? You can let us know at eight

00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:15,119
Speaker 2: Won eighty eight five point fifty two five point fifty

282
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:17,639
Speaker 2: is the toll free number. To call, or you can

283
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:21,879
Speaker 2: hit us up on the tweet sheet at One Bill's Live. Steve,

284
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:24,679
Speaker 2: we've talked about this, and you actually had a comment

285
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:29,280
Speaker 2: yesterday because on the show, because we had been discussing

286
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:34,720
Speaker 2: a lot of the public perception is based on the

287
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:38,919
Speaker 2: running back editions and some of the line editions that

288
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:41,040
Speaker 2: they're going to let Josh be more of a pocket

289
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 2: guy and not have him run around as much so

290
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:47,960
Speaker 2: he doesn't get hurt. You had a rebuttal to that

291
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 2: line of thinking on the show yesterday. So let's hear

292
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:52,160
Speaker 2: that to set this up.

293
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:56,840
Speaker 3: Quarterbacks don't get hurt running the ball. Josh doesn't get

294
00:17:56,920 --> 00:18:01,680
Speaker 3: hurt running the ball. Cunningham never got hurt running the ball.

295
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:03,760
Speaker 3: John Elway didn't get hurt running the ball. Mike Vick

296
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 3: never got hurt running the ball. Tim Tebow never got

297
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:09,960
Speaker 3: hurt running the ball. What's another one? Name it? These

298
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:11,760
Speaker 3: quarterbacks who run the ball don't get hurt when they

299
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:14,640
Speaker 3: run the ball. Every quarterback that you ever see get

300
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:20,080
Speaker 3: whacked with rare exception, gets hurt standing in the pocket

301
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:22,359
Speaker 3: like a statue. Josh Allen isn't going to get hurt

302
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:26,399
Speaker 3: running the ball. That guy's a hammer. It's the nail

303
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:29,440
Speaker 3: who gets hurt, and when he's standing in the pocket,

304
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:30,480
Speaker 3: he becomes the nail.

305
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:33,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I don't.

306
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:35,720
Speaker 3: Have a problem with Josh running. I wish the offense

307
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:39,000
Speaker 3: was more efficient so that Josh would throw the ball

308
00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:43,640
Speaker 3: from the pocket, from a clean pocket. So there it is.

309
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 2: And you know, you can look at this a number

310
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:49,959
Speaker 2: of different ways, because you could say, all right, they

311
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:52,520
Speaker 2: got some backs that can run between the tackles to

312
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:55,200
Speaker 2: get tough yards, so Josh doesn't have to be the

313
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 2: best short yards ball carrier on the team, which we've

314
00:18:57,560 --> 00:18:59,520
Speaker 2: seen for the better part of the last four or

315
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:06,560
Speaker 2: five years. But at the same time, is Josh gonna

316
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:09,840
Speaker 2: change his game where he's not making off script plays.

317
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:14,000
Speaker 2: I don't think that's gonna happen. I mean he makes

318
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:17,880
Speaker 2: almost as he makes sometimes the more spectacular plays out

319
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:20,680
Speaker 2: of the pocket than he does in Uh. So that's

320
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 2: why we're asking you today, what changes do you think

321
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:28,680
Speaker 2: he makes to his game? Knowing he is laser focused

322
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:32,480
Speaker 2: on raising his level of play based on what he

323
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:34,560
Speaker 2: said this week, based on what we've heard from his

324
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:37,199
Speaker 2: head coach, So you tell us at eight oh three

325
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:40,160
Speaker 2: five point fifty one eight eight eight five point fifty two,

326
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:42,359
Speaker 2: five fifty. We're gonna go to the phones right away here, Steve,

327
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 2: we'll go to Tom on the west side. What do

328
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:46,640
Speaker 2: you offer as Tom, you're on one Bill's live.

329
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 6: Heah, guys, I'm glad you're asking this question because I

330
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:55,760
Speaker 6: think it's gonna be just like Lamar Jackson, but it's

331
00:19:55,800 --> 00:20:00,439
Speaker 6: gonna be run less and hand off more because with

332
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:03,920
Speaker 6: the backfield we have, we have the players that can

333
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:07,560
Speaker 6: run the ball, and Allen doesn't have to do it.

334
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:10,080
Speaker 6: He's still going to pass the ball a lot. Don't

335
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:13,600
Speaker 6: get me wrong, but I the question is ken Lamar

336
00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:16,679
Speaker 6: passed the ball? That's a question.

337
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:18,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that is.

338
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 3: You're right.

339
00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:21,400
Speaker 6: They're tapping up and let you talk, all right.

340
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:25,320
Speaker 3: Thanks Tom, Yeah, you're right. Josh Lamar to you can

341
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:28,960
Speaker 3: tell even you know, even my mom can tell the

342
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:32,160
Speaker 3: difference between the way those guys play. Lamar is way

343
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:36,840
Speaker 3: different than josh Uh. Lamar has an offense, was in

344
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:39,199
Speaker 3: an offense, and he won an MVP doing it. You

345
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 3: can't short change him. The guy was a juggernaut with

346
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:48,359
Speaker 3: the Ravens. You won the MVP with that misdirection side

347
00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:50,520
Speaker 3: to side and a quarterback who's six three to two

348
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:53,680
Speaker 3: twenty whatever. Lamar is runs a four to three. He's

349
00:20:53,720 --> 00:21:00,120
Speaker 3: a he's a dude. Josh has been a mixture of

350
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:02,880
Speaker 3: both and for most of us. And we remember when

351
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:05,760
Speaker 3: Josh was young with day Ball, they had a lot

352
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:09,040
Speaker 3: of cold quarterback runs. Remember he'd just you know, get

353
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 3: the ball out of shotgun, tucking under his arm. Two

354
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:13,600
Speaker 3: guards pull out, or a garden attackle pull out in

355
00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:16,119
Speaker 3: front of him, the running back pulls out. It's like

356
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 3: student body right, student body left, let's go, and we're

357
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:23,440
Speaker 3: just gonna outweigh everybody at the goal line. Right. They

358
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:25,440
Speaker 3: did some of that with Josh. They got away from that.

359
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:32,320
Speaker 3: Josh now runs on cold passing plays, or better still,

360
00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:35,640
Speaker 3: he extends passing plays, and then as guys just get two,

361
00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 3: they get spread too thin in the back end of

362
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:41,200
Speaker 3: the defense and Josh just picks him apart, throws touchdowns,

363
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:45,080
Speaker 3: jumping out of bounds and stuff. That's different. So Lamar

364
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:48,200
Speaker 3: and Josh are different, and you're right, it may be

365
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:52,480
Speaker 3: a more effective running game. Takes the starch out of

366
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:55,520
Speaker 3: the pass rush, makes it easier on the offensive line,

367
00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:57,880
Speaker 3: an offensive line that by all rights should be better

368
00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:01,960
Speaker 3: than the offensive line a year ago, and Now when

369
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:05,640
Speaker 3: Josh does throw it, he's not jumping all around dodging

370
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:08,479
Speaker 3: defensive ends. He stand back there and let it go.

371
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:11,840
Speaker 3: Steph Diggs comes open balls on him. That would be

372
00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 3: much more fun for Bills fans. Yeah, and I think

373
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:17,480
Speaker 3: that's what the idea will be.

374
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:22,240
Speaker 2: And just to kind of illustrate the differences between Lamar

375
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:27,560
Speaker 2: and Josh, Lamar has two one thousand yard rushing seasons

376
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:31,639
Speaker 2: in his career does not have a single four thousand

377
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:34,000
Speaker 2: yard passing season in his career. As a matter of fact,

378
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:38,520
Speaker 2: he has only one three thousand yard passing season in

379
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:40,359
Speaker 2: his career. Now, part of that is due to the

380
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:43,520
Speaker 2: injuries he sustained each of the last two seasons, but

381
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:47,320
Speaker 2: Josh has three. His last three seasons, he's thrown for

382
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 2: forty two hundred yards or more so, and last year

383
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:54,160
Speaker 2: he only played in sixteen games because of the postponed game.

384
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:58,600
Speaker 2: So he's a much better passer and a much more

385
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:02,720
Speaker 2: proven passer than Lamar is. That could change. I don't

386
00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:06,639
Speaker 2: think it's going to, but it could. But how do

387
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:09,800
Speaker 2: you think he changes his game. I've got some thoughts,

388
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:11,399
Speaker 2: but we'll get to them after we get through some

389
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:13,840
Speaker 2: of these calls. Here we go to Gary and Arcade next.

390
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:14,520
Speaker 2: What do you got for us?

391
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:14,800
Speaker 3: Gary?

392
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:18,680
Speaker 7: Yeah, I hope one of the things Josh will change

393
00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:20,920
Speaker 7: he holds down to the ball with two hands when

394
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:22,080
Speaker 7: he does have to scramble.

395
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:25,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, fall security.

396
00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:28,439
Speaker 3: Sure, and I'll get Brownie brought this up when we

397
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 3: were sitting there, and he's right. We've talked about it before,

398
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:33,720
Speaker 3: but not at length and probably won't get into it

399
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:35,800
Speaker 3: too much today. It's just so because it's so obvious

400
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:40,400
Speaker 3: you can't turn it over. He's got to cut Josh

401
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:45,000
Speaker 3: Allen has to cut down on the turnovers, on his

402
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:52,600
Speaker 3: interceptions and fumbles as well, No question, it's it's been

403
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:55,480
Speaker 3: that was a problem. Last year they were thirteen and

404
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:58,120
Speaker 3: three and they lost and I'll say it again, three

405
00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:00,880
Speaker 3: games by total of eight points. They were killing everybody.

406
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:04,200
Speaker 3: They were a steamroller and they were what number two

407
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:04,880
Speaker 3: in the league.

408
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:10,400
Speaker 2: And second turn with twenty seven in sixteen games. Yeah,

409
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:12,760
Speaker 2: only Houston had more with twenty eight.

410
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:15,919
Speaker 3: They turned it over all the time and they you

411
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:22,240
Speaker 3: still couldn't beat them. Yeah. I mean so that if Josh,

412
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:29,639
Speaker 3: Josh had thirty five touchdowns and fourteen interceptions, if he

413
00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:33,520
Speaker 3: get his interceptions even just to below ten. Yeah, it's

414
00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:36,840
Speaker 3: a huge plus along with and there's fumbles lost, fumbles

415
00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:41,399
Speaker 3: lost and stuff. Gary's point, Yeah, that's right. The fumbles lost.

416
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:43,280
Speaker 3: I'll look, I'm looking at him trying to find him

417
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:49,399
Speaker 3: on the list right here. Fumbles lost? Where are they?

418
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:52,000
Speaker 3: Where do they put them on the team stats?

419
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:56,000
Speaker 2: Some stat services don't have them? I have.

420
00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:57,960
Speaker 3: This is the Jesus when it should have.

421
00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:00,920
Speaker 2: I have total fumbles for here. He had thirteen.

422
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:04,120
Speaker 3: Fumbles and fumbles lost. They had twenty four fumbles.

423
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:07,600
Speaker 2: He had thirteen of those twenty four.

424
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:11,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, fourteen, Yeah right, I don't know how many were lost.

425
00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:15,600
Speaker 3: Thirteen lost, twenty four fumbles total, thirteen lost, thirteen of

426
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:18,280
Speaker 3: them you said were Josh. That doesn't mean the thirteen

427
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:19,520
Speaker 3: that were lost were all Josh's.

428
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:22,280
Speaker 2: But yeah, I remember Spencer Brown recovered one of his

429
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:24,680
Speaker 2: in a playoff game, so I do remember he fell

430
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:30,159
Speaker 2: out thirty dude, it's a lot of time, are.

431
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:34,080
Speaker 3: You kidding me? Twenty four fumbles.

432
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:37,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's why Devin Singletary isn't here anymore.

433
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 3: Twenty four fumbles.

434
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:43,880
Speaker 2: That's the main reason why Devin Singletary is not here,

435
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:46,840
Speaker 2: And it's also the main reason teen interceptions and it's

436
00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:49,600
Speaker 2: also the main reason why Damien Harris is here and

437
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:52,960
Speaker 2: Latavius Murray is here. Latavius Murray has three fumbles in

438
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:56,520
Speaker 2: his last one thousand carries, and Damien Harris has three

439
00:25:56,600 --> 00:26:01,439
Speaker 2: fumbles in his entire four year career. Professionally, if they.

440
00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:06,000
Speaker 3: Don't turn the ball over, they're impossible to beat.

441
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:08,560
Speaker 2: But they turned it over a lot.

442
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:13,040
Speaker 3: But they turned it over a ton. Everybody except the

443
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:15,480
Speaker 3: number the team with the number one picking the draft

444
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:19,879
Speaker 3: twenty eight times, and they beat it by one, or

445
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:21,719
Speaker 3: they were worse by one. Not beat us, but they

446
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:24,960
Speaker 3: were worse by one. The Bills turned it over entirely

447
00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:26,560
Speaker 3: too much. If you're looking for something, and this is

448
00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:28,840
Speaker 3: our question of the day, how's Josh gonna fix the

449
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:31,199
Speaker 3: game or improve his game or what's this fuck? Just

450
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:34,560
Speaker 3: don't turn it over. If he doesn't turn it over,

451
00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:38,119
Speaker 3: doesn't throw interceptions, they don't fumble it away, and his

452
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:42,440
Speaker 3: receivers can get into the sixty to seventy percent catch

453
00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:45,280
Speaker 3: rate instead of the fifty percent catch rate with the

454
00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:50,920
Speaker 3: drops that they had. This team will go twenty and oh.

455
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:52,359
Speaker 2: I'm gonna read you a quote from Sean McDermott this

456
00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:56,520
Speaker 2: week concerning raising how Josh could improve his game, and

457
00:26:56,600 --> 00:27:00,399
Speaker 2: McDermott said, I just think that Josh taking his game

458
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:05,560
Speaker 2: to another level really means being a great decision maker.

459
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:09,400
Speaker 2: We've talked about before this offseason. It's been talked about

460
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:12,119
Speaker 2: adjusting his style of play enough to keep himself healthy

461
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:17,159
Speaker 2: and to play smart smarter at times. And then I

462
00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:21,800
Speaker 2: just think overall approach to the game. So the smarter

463
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:27,520
Speaker 2: decision making is all about the turnovers because a lot

464
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:30,080
Speaker 2: of the times, an ill advised decision by a quarterback,

465
00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:33,280
Speaker 2: whether it's late in the play, throwing back across the middle,

466
00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:36,240
Speaker 2: whatever the case might be, can put the ball in

467
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:39,919
Speaker 2: harm's way and sometimes result in a takeaway. So I

468
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:42,160
Speaker 2: think that's there. And I'll read a quote from Josh

469
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:43,520
Speaker 2: a little bit later on the show to kind of

470
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:45,920
Speaker 2: illustrate that further. But we got people on hold, so

471
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:48,080
Speaker 2: let's get back to the phones to Kevin and Hamburg. Next.

472
00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:49,160
Speaker 2: What do you have Kevin, guys?

473
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:50,600
Speaker 8: How you doing for taking my call?

474
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:51,080
Speaker 2: Sure?

475
00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:53,880
Speaker 8: Hope you have a nice holity weekend this weekend? You too,

476
00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:57,000
Speaker 8: Andy A question. I'm glad you brought up about the

477
00:27:57,080 --> 00:28:00,440
Speaker 8: running back situation, and not only the fumble, but now

478
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 8: that we got two Brudi running backs finally that we

479
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:07,080
Speaker 8: didn't have before. Brudi guys like Harris and Murray, I

480
00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:10,480
Speaker 8: think Josh needs to let Dorsey. Let them do the

481
00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:14,520
Speaker 8: brute work. Let them running their people. Let them plow

482
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:17,080
Speaker 8: in the people that he don't have to plow. I

483
00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:18,680
Speaker 8: know that's he loves to do it. That's part of

484
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:21,680
Speaker 8: that's what makes them special. But let them act like

485
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:24,240
Speaker 8: John Riggins because they're running. Let them act like Earl

486
00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:27,199
Speaker 8: Campbell and plowing the people that he don't have to

487
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:29,879
Speaker 8: maybe get hurt or get his bell rung. We finally

488
00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:33,080
Speaker 8: got some brutes. Let him use their brute power. Let

489
00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:36,600
Speaker 8: them act like iron Head Hayward and those guys, so

490
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:39,040
Speaker 8: he don't maybe get hurt or get his bell rung.

491
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:41,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that makes sense. And I'll say this. The

492
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:45,479
Speaker 3: thing that Josh always gave the offense in short yards

493
00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:49,400
Speaker 3: and goal line we're talking about was that option the

494
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:52,760
Speaker 3: defense had to They had to use a threat, wait

495
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:54,560
Speaker 3: for him to bootleg out to make sure he didn't

496
00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:56,360
Speaker 3: have the ball. They couldn't chase the ball down they

497
00:28:56,360 --> 00:29:00,760
Speaker 3: didn't and because the team had to use him every

498
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:02,600
Speaker 3: once in a while in that situation, to make sure

499
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:06,800
Speaker 3: the defense stayed honest. When you've got Latavius Murray or

500
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:12,000
Speaker 3: Damian Harris, maybe they got enough confidence they I don't care,

501
00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:13,800
Speaker 3: we're gonna hand it off. We're gonna get it anyway.

502
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:15,600
Speaker 3: I don't care if you don't think Josh is gonna

503
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:17,960
Speaker 3: run it. He's gonna we're gonna hand it to this

504
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:19,640
Speaker 3: guy and he's gonna do it. And Josh didn't even

505
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:22,520
Speaker 3: have to get involved. So maybe a little more of that,

506
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:28,000
Speaker 3: and you're right, that may be enough to take that

507
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:31,800
Speaker 3: much pressure off Josh Allen that he doesn't have to

508
00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:37,080
Speaker 3: have that kind of responsibility in the short yard goal

509
00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:39,560
Speaker 3: line areas or even in any type of running area.

510
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:41,840
Speaker 3: The only time he runs it is when hey, everybody's

511
00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:43,720
Speaker 3: covered up in the pocket starts to collapse and he

512
00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:50,360
Speaker 3: skidters out, runs for nineteen yards, runs out of bounds.

513
00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:52,120
Speaker 3: Let's go line it up and let's play again. That

514
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:54,080
Speaker 3: kind of stuff I think got We're all fine with that.

515
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:55,560
Speaker 3: He can run the ball. He wants to that when

516
00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:58,560
Speaker 3: he runs out of bounds and doesn't get touched. So

517
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:03,400
Speaker 3: the situational runs where he needs to be an option

518
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:05,640
Speaker 3: to give the offense a chance to actually run the

519
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:08,120
Speaker 3: ball even with the running back, let alone with him

520
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:11,600
Speaker 3: as an option is where I think the big difference

521
00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:13,200
Speaker 3: could be envisioned.

522
00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:17,080
Speaker 2: We have to take a break here, but Mark and

523
00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:19,239
Speaker 2: West Seneca, Mike an Orchard Parks Day, where you are.

524
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:21,200
Speaker 2: You'll lead us off when we come back from break.

525
00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:26,240
Speaker 2: Josh's laser focused the twenty twenty three season. What changes

526
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:29,239
Speaker 2: do you think he makes to his game? To raise it?

527
00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:33,000
Speaker 2: To get another level? Height three five point fifty, to

528
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:35,280
Speaker 2: get on board more of your phone calls. Next here

529
00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:37,560
Speaker 2: on one Bill's Live, presented by Kalida Health, It's Buffalo

530
00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:44,320
Speaker 2: Bill's rating. All right, we know Josh Allen's laser focused

531
00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:46,480
Speaker 2: for the twenty twenty three season. He said as much

532
00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:48,640
Speaker 2: as coaches have said, as much as teammates have said

533
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:51,840
Speaker 2: as much. So with that in mind, what changes do

534
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:55,720
Speaker 2: you think he might make to his game this coming season?

535
00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:58,200
Speaker 2: Go to the phones and to Mark in West Seneca.

536
00:30:58,240 --> 00:30:58,880
Speaker 2: What do you got first?

537
00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:03,600
Speaker 9: Mark, He's Steve great minds. Think of like your argument

538
00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:06,760
Speaker 9: about where quarterbacks get hurt. I've been arguing with people

539
00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:10,960
Speaker 9: with that exact argument for three years, and nobody wants

540
00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:13,520
Speaker 9: to admit it or agree with it. So I am

541
00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:16,640
Speaker 9: one hundred percent on board with that. As far as

542
00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:18,880
Speaker 9: Josh goes, I've got a.

543
00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:21,840
Speaker 10: Comment about his game and then comment about the running backs.

544
00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:25,400
Speaker 10: If you guys, don't indulge me for amanent. It's funny

545
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:28,320
Speaker 10: that decision making is what Sean McDermott brings up, because

546
00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:32,040
Speaker 10: I see it as a twofold thing for him to

547
00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:35,640
Speaker 10: get better decision making. In the passing game, there have

548
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:39,640
Speaker 10: been enough instances where Josh continues to force the ball

549
00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:44,400
Speaker 10: down the field in situations that call for higher percentage

550
00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:48,160
Speaker 10: completion passes of a shorter distance that keeps us on

551
00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:52,040
Speaker 10: the field, as in third and four, five, six, and

552
00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:55,200
Speaker 10: we and he throws the ball thirty yards down the field,

553
00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:59,080
Speaker 10: low percentage pass. So I think he needs to get

554
00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:03,200
Speaker 10: that under control. And in the running game, the only

555
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:05,320
Speaker 10: way I see Josh getting hurt running the ball is

556
00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:09,520
Speaker 10: when he puts himself in run role positions, the hurdling,

557
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:12,960
Speaker 10: the not going down when he's under tackle and letting

558
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:15,960
Speaker 10: guys take an extra shot on him. You know, it's

559
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:18,120
Speaker 10: different if he's fighting for a first down, But there's

560
00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:20,920
Speaker 10: a lot of instances where when he's under tackle, he's

561
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:24,200
Speaker 10: got the yards he wants needs just go down, don't

562
00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:26,760
Speaker 10: don't give that extra shot because guys like it, and

563
00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:31,760
Speaker 10: it's happened. Teams like to take extra shots on Josh

564
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:35,960
Speaker 10: and they're unnecessary. And then my other comment is running backs.

565
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:39,120
Speaker 10: You guys are talking about positions yesterday when I look

566
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:41,360
Speaker 10: at the running back group, and I'd like your comment

567
00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:46,000
Speaker 10: on this. With the signing of Murray, I think it's

568
00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:51,040
Speaker 10: almost pushed Hines out the door. The only I mean,

569
00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:58,480
Speaker 10: Nahim Heinz's skill set, you know, is really passing game quickness.

570
00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:01,840
Speaker 10: Maybe some Jets sweep things like that. Well, we got

571
00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:04,760
Speaker 10: James Cook with a very similar skill set and we're

572
00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:08,920
Speaker 10: going to feature him. And now we've got Harris and Murray,

573
00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:12,080
Speaker 10: We're I don't see Hines lining up in the slot

574
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:16,640
Speaker 10: with the signing of Hardy and what we've added on

575
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:19,320
Speaker 10: in the you know, and we still got secure and

576
00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:22,880
Speaker 10: I don't know if his return game is going to

577
00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:26,000
Speaker 10: be enough to carry him to a roster spot. I

578
00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:29,280
Speaker 10: was wondering what you guys think about that, But I

579
00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:32,600
Speaker 10: think there's a little bit of duplication in skill set

580
00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:35,560
Speaker 10: now between Cook and Hines. Uh, if we want to

581
00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:37,520
Speaker 10: keep the other guys that we brought on board, So

582
00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:41,000
Speaker 10: I was wondering if you get comment on that. Thanks guys, Yeah, thanks.

583
00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:41,160
Speaker 2: For the call.

584
00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:45,040
Speaker 3: Mark remain You're right. Let's start with the last thing first.

585
00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:50,880
Speaker 3: It may be that Nahim Heinz loses out in that competition,

586
00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:54,080
Speaker 3: but let's not forget Nahim Heines is an outstanding kickoff returner.

587
00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:56,480
Speaker 3: If there's a space for an extra running back, that

588
00:33:56,600 --> 00:33:59,280
Speaker 3: may be enough for him to be kept around anyway.

589
00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:01,640
Speaker 2: And let's think of about the fact that Taiwan Jones

590
00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:04,400
Speaker 2: is no longer occupying a spot in the running back

591
00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:06,320
Speaker 2: room as a special.

592
00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:07,640
Speaker 3: They don't have a coverage guy.

593
00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:09,799
Speaker 2: Maybe Hines becomes that guy.

594
00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:14,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's possibility. But you're right as well, Uh, having

595
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:23,160
Speaker 3: those two Latavious Murray and Damien Harris in the room,

596
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:27,600
Speaker 3: there's some chops in that room now that weren't there before. Uh,

597
00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:30,319
Speaker 3: James Cook is in there. He's he's got to be,

598
00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:32,200
Speaker 3: at least this early stage's got to be the number

599
00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:35,120
Speaker 3: one front runner because of his you know, status and

600
00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:39,440
Speaker 3: his skill set. And if you're going to go with four,

601
00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:44,960
Speaker 3: those are the guys. There's that's four of them, and Hines,

602
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:48,239
Speaker 3: by virtue of his kick returning abilities, may just get

603
00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:51,480
Speaker 3: it on that even though that may not be a

604
00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:56,120
Speaker 3: thing anymore. With the fair catch possibilities.

605
00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:59,400
Speaker 2: Right and there, that new rule is something to consider.

606
00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:01,279
Speaker 2: Even though it is only in place for a year

607
00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:03,160
Speaker 2: right now, it could be extended or it could be

608
00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:06,480
Speaker 2: scrapped based on how things go this year. Let's not

609
00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:11,080
Speaker 2: also dismiss this. His competition in the return game has

610
00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:14,320
Speaker 2: also been heightened because of the presence of Deontay Hardy,

611
00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:21,560
Speaker 2: who has plenty of punt return experience and kick return experience,

612
00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:26,000
Speaker 2: and so if he gets outperformed in that area by

613
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:30,480
Speaker 2: Deontay Hardy, he could be off the roster. It's not

614
00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:33,520
Speaker 2: just competition at the running back position, it's competition in

615
00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:35,520
Speaker 2: the return game too, by a proven guy.

616
00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:38,240
Speaker 3: The best kickoff return teams in the in the league

617
00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:40,160
Speaker 3: are the ones who get kicked off to a bunch.

618
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:42,160
Speaker 3: They got a poor defense, They give up a lot

619
00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:44,040
Speaker 3: of points, and they get a lot of reps doing it.

620
00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:47,320
Speaker 3: You can't You can never practice kickoff or kickoff return

621
00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:50,960
Speaker 3: at full speed for the simple fact of the reason

622
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:53,760
Speaker 3: they put the fair catch rule in. It's too dangerous

623
00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:57,160
Speaker 3: to practice. So nobody gets to practice except the teams

624
00:35:57,160 --> 00:35:59,360
Speaker 3: to get scored on a lot, so they get reps

625
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:01,800
Speaker 3: at it. Right, the best kickoff return teams are the

626
00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:05,600
Speaker 3: ones who get scored on a bunch. If you think

627
00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:10,239
Speaker 3: you've got an edge in that, you're not the team

628
00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:12,000
Speaker 3: that's gonna fair catch it all the time. If you

629
00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:17,160
Speaker 3: got these teams that never cover a kick for a month,

630
00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:21,520
Speaker 3: it's touchbacks, touch back, touch back, now, fair catch, touchback,

631
00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:24,359
Speaker 3: fair catch, touch back, touch back, fair catch, fair catch,

632
00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:27,840
Speaker 3: they never get to do it. You bust out Nahem

633
00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:29,719
Speaker 3: Hines and a bunch of guys who really do do

634
00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:35,160
Speaker 3: it a lot. It's a huge advantage. Reps and live

635
00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:38,680
Speaker 3: reps only come during games, and the more you do

636
00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:40,360
Speaker 3: it during games, the better you get at it. And

637
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:41,960
Speaker 3: you get a team who hasn't done it in a

638
00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:45,359
Speaker 3: month because of the way the games have fallen, all

639
00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:47,160
Speaker 3: of a sudden, you get two in the same game

640
00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:48,160
Speaker 3: and you win it because of them.

641
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:51,719
Speaker 2: Mark, You're right, Josh did force the ball down the

642
00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:54,759
Speaker 2: field too much. Last year we had fans complaining how

643
00:36:54,760 --> 00:36:57,400
Speaker 2: come they don't put checkdowns in the passing game for Josh.

644
00:36:57,719 --> 00:37:01,600
Speaker 2: News flash, Ken Dorsey did chose not to use them? Now?

645
00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:03,239
Speaker 2: Is that because he had a lack of faith in

646
00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:06,359
Speaker 2: some of those underneath targets. I doubt that. I just

647
00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:10,319
Speaker 2: think that Josh sometimes his competitive nature takes over and

648
00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:14,200
Speaker 2: he wants it all in one play rather than, you know,

649
00:37:14,760 --> 00:37:17,680
Speaker 2: focusing on the first down, he's focusing on the touchdown.

650
00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:20,719
Speaker 2: And I like aggressiveness in my quarterback as much as

651
00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:25,400
Speaker 2: the next guy. But there is a time where you

652
00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:29,319
Speaker 2: have to look at the whole picture and say, what's

653
00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:33,359
Speaker 2: going to keep us on the field longer or more effectively.

654
00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:35,840
Speaker 2: And let's not dismiss the fact that this was the

655
00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:38,680
Speaker 2: number one third down conversion offense in football despite that.

656
00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:43,040
Speaker 2: So I think if he's a little more discerning in

657
00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:46,319
Speaker 2: taking what the defense gives him, let me take this

658
00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:47,919
Speaker 2: because this is going to get us the first down,

659
00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:50,080
Speaker 2: and maybe we'll hit a big one in the next series,

660
00:37:50,520 --> 00:37:52,880
Speaker 2: you know that kind of thing. I think if he

661
00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:56,759
Speaker 2: takes that mindset, this offense is even more efficient than

662
00:37:56,800 --> 00:37:59,080
Speaker 2: it was last year. Yeah, going forward.

663
00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:01,320
Speaker 3: So yeah, if you go back and look at the

664
00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:04,120
Speaker 3: old twenty two's plenty of times when Josh.

665
00:38:04,040 --> 00:38:05,480
Speaker 2: Said, guy's running free underneath.

666
00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:07,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not gonna throw it there. I'm I'm gonna

667
00:38:07,520 --> 00:38:08,240
Speaker 3: get some yards.

668
00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:11,680
Speaker 2: You know, I'm gonna dagger him here right, Yeah, let's

669
00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:14,000
Speaker 2: go back to the phones and to Mike and Orchard Park.

670
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:17,160
Speaker 7: What do you got for his Mike, Hey, Stephen Brownie,

671
00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:18,200
Speaker 7: thank you for having me on the show.

672
00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:18,600
Speaker 3: I love it.

673
00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:25,080
Speaker 7: One thing I think with Josh is trust between the

674
00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:28,239
Speaker 7: positions around him. I love the additions on the offensive line.

675
00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:31,360
Speaker 7: I feel Josh is going to feel more comfortable inside

676
00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:33,680
Speaker 7: the pocket. And number two, I was listening to Steve

677
00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:38,960
Speaker 7: yesterday discuss the accumunication, the nastiness with the quarterback between

678
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:40,279
Speaker 7: the other positions around him.

679
00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:41,640
Speaker 11: I really believe in that.

680
00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:45,120
Speaker 7: I really Josh is focused in on the other positions

681
00:38:45,160 --> 00:38:49,520
Speaker 7: around him, not just playing quarterback, of understanding the receiver position,

682
00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:52,240
Speaker 7: the running back position, of where he wants his guys

683
00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:55,279
Speaker 7: to be. And I feel that's gonna what we're gonna

684
00:38:55,320 --> 00:38:57,879
Speaker 7: see it on the field. I feel he's he's he's

685
00:38:57,880 --> 00:39:00,239
Speaker 7: gonna have the guys in there and if they're if

686
00:39:00,239 --> 00:39:03,680
Speaker 7: they're not held to their position or in the right spots,

687
00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:04,680
Speaker 7: joshon gonna get him.

688
00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:08,279
Speaker 2: Off the field right. And you know the other thing

689
00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:11,040
Speaker 2: about that, Mike is Josh has pointed that out himself

690
00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:14,480
Speaker 2: earlier this week, and that's what kind of sparked our

691
00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:16,960
Speaker 2: conversation on the show that you're referencing, Mike, the fact

692
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:21,160
Speaker 2: that Josh said, I have to step up my communication

693
00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:25,040
Speaker 2: with the guys that I'm playing with on offense. And

694
00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:28,879
Speaker 2: I think that's a nice way of him saying, I'm

695
00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:32,919
Speaker 2: calling people out on the mat if I have to

696
00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:34,959
Speaker 2: to get them to do things the way I need

697
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:37,120
Speaker 2: to do them to be the most effective quarterback I

698
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:39,520
Speaker 2: can be. And Steve went into depth on this and

699
00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:42,400
Speaker 2: how you know Jim Kelly kind of took that approach

700
00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:48,239
Speaker 2: with him and his teammates. It's necessary because it has

701
00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:50,919
Speaker 2: to be done the way the quarterback wants it done,

702
00:39:51,040 --> 00:39:52,880
Speaker 2: because he's the guy holding the ball and pulling the

703
00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:54,080
Speaker 2: trigger on every single play.

704
00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:57,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, the best receivers now, certainly the great ones. All

705
00:39:57,239 --> 00:39:58,920
Speaker 3: of them are a little bit of like Steph Diggs,

706
00:39:58,960 --> 00:40:06,120
Speaker 3: Andre Reed, Rice, Justin Jefferson, Jamar Chase go down the

707
00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:08,239
Speaker 3: list and go down through history. They all have a

708
00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:10,000
Speaker 3: little bit of diva in him. They want the ball

709
00:40:10,640 --> 00:40:12,120
Speaker 3: if they're gonna go out there and run around and

710
00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:14,960
Speaker 3: do all this and do everything it takes to get

711
00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:16,720
Speaker 3: away from one of the best athletes on the planet

712
00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:20,200
Speaker 3: in whatever NFL cornerback you want to point to. They

713
00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:23,640
Speaker 3: want to get the ball when they get open. But

714
00:40:23,800 --> 00:40:28,799
Speaker 3: the best receivers understand that ultimately they are there to

715
00:40:29,040 --> 00:40:34,040
Speaker 3: serve the quarterback with an option, an option that the

716
00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:37,799
Speaker 3: quarterback has seen before. He knows it. He trusts you,

717
00:40:38,120 --> 00:40:41,160
Speaker 3: he knows you're going to get open. You've earned this

718
00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:44,720
Speaker 3: from him. He has expectations for you in this route,

719
00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:49,080
Speaker 3: and in more and more situations, you know, whatever happens.

720
00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:53,600
Speaker 3: And there's a great story between Troy Aikman and Irvin,

721
00:40:53,719 --> 00:40:58,480
Speaker 3: Michael Irvin in the NFC Championship game. They were down

722
00:40:58,560 --> 00:41:02,200
Speaker 3: twenty one to nothing early in that game. It was

723
00:41:03,320 --> 00:41:07,160
Speaker 3: before they beat the Buffalo Bills. My Buffalo Bills for

724
00:41:07,200 --> 00:41:11,840
Speaker 3: the second time. And they're in it's a tight spot

725
00:41:12,040 --> 00:41:14,680
Speaker 3: and Troy Aigman gets in the huddle says, listen. He

726
00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:16,000
Speaker 3: calls the plane right and he looks at Michael i

727
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:18,160
Speaker 3: Ever says listen, I'm coming to you no matter what.

728
00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:23,280
Speaker 3: That kind of trust where I don't care what's happening,

729
00:41:23,360 --> 00:41:25,359
Speaker 3: I trust you to do we need this play. I'm

730
00:41:25,360 --> 00:41:30,240
Speaker 3: coming to you get open. That kind of mentality, the

731
00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:33,680
Speaker 3: receiver has to have the mindset that he's running that

732
00:41:33,760 --> 00:41:35,680
Speaker 3: route for the other guy, not for himself, so he

733
00:41:35,719 --> 00:41:38,400
Speaker 3: can get a catch for the quarterback to have a

734
00:41:38,520 --> 00:41:42,359
Speaker 3: chance to get him the ball. When you think like that,

735
00:41:42,520 --> 00:41:45,640
Speaker 3: your routes come out different, your attitude comes out different.

736
00:41:45,719 --> 00:41:50,320
Speaker 3: You get open better, you make it easier for the quarterback,

737
00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:53,480
Speaker 3: and that's what they need. That's what this communication thing

738
00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:56,840
Speaker 3: between Josh and these receivers is all about.

739
00:41:57,719 --> 00:42:00,200
Speaker 2: Let's see it. I'd love to see it. We have

740
00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:04,080
Speaker 2: to take a break here, Jack and Rochester, Tom on

741
00:42:04,200 --> 00:42:06,520
Speaker 2: a cell, Jim and cheek to Wogga. You guys, hang tight.

742
00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:07,960
Speaker 2: We'll get to you when we return more of your

743
00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:27,600
Speaker 2: phone calls next here on One Bill's Live. The Buffalo Bills,

751
00:42:56,680 --> 00:42:59,000
Speaker 2: witnessed to this yesterday, Steve, because it was happening in

752
00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:00,839
Speaker 2: the fieldhouse as we were making our way in here

753
00:43:00,880 --> 00:43:04,000
Speaker 2: to do the show yesterday. But the players and the

754
00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:10,879
Speaker 2: coaches got training from some local medical professionals and we're

755
00:43:10,920 --> 00:43:17,560
Speaker 2: taught hands only CPR, so the whole team doing it yesterday,

756
00:43:17,600 --> 00:43:19,520
Speaker 2: which was kind of cool, so good to see that.

757
00:43:20,760 --> 00:43:23,319
Speaker 2: Let's get back to the phones where we are discussing

758
00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:27,839
Speaker 2: today Josh Allen's laser focus for the twenty twenty three

759
00:43:27,880 --> 00:43:31,640
Speaker 2: season and how might he makes some changes to his

760
00:43:31,680 --> 00:43:34,840
Speaker 2: game to be an even more effective player. Back to

761
00:43:34,840 --> 00:43:37,600
Speaker 2: the phones we go and to Jack in Rochester. What

762
00:43:37,719 --> 00:43:39,359
Speaker 2: you got for us, Jack, you're on one Bill's Live.

763
00:43:40,200 --> 00:43:42,560
Speaker 12: I think for Josh to take his game to the

764
00:43:42,600 --> 00:43:45,239
Speaker 12: next level, he needs to take a page out of

765
00:43:45,280 --> 00:43:49,880
Speaker 12: Patrick Mahomes playbook and learn to throw those extremely precise

766
00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:53,439
Speaker 12: passes to his receivers where he's leading them to gain

767
00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:56,520
Speaker 12: those yards after catch. If he could do that on

768
00:43:56,560 --> 00:43:59,920
Speaker 12: those short and medium range passes and see big success,

769
00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:01,919
Speaker 12: I don't think he's going to be trying to force

770
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:03,399
Speaker 12: the ball downfield as much.

771
00:44:04,360 --> 00:44:07,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that's a valid point, Jack, I get that,

772
00:44:07,200 --> 00:44:13,960
Speaker 2: and hopefully Dalton Kincaid is a factor in improving that

773
00:44:14,040 --> 00:44:16,800
Speaker 2: part of Josh's game. Steve and I have talked about

774
00:44:16,800 --> 00:44:21,239
Speaker 2: this a lot. Josh is an accurate thrower, but his

775
00:44:21,360 --> 00:44:25,239
Speaker 2: arm strength is so good that he can get it

776
00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:28,239
Speaker 2: there and put it on the guy rather than lead

777
00:44:28,280 --> 00:44:30,719
Speaker 2: the guy into space. So even if the guy's forty

778
00:44:30,760 --> 00:44:33,800
Speaker 2: yards down the field, he's putting it on in between

779
00:44:33,840 --> 00:44:36,080
Speaker 2: the guy's numbers instead of leading him into space for

780
00:44:36,120 --> 00:44:37,640
Speaker 2: the chance for extra yardage.

781
00:44:37,719 --> 00:44:41,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I agree. I mean, anytime you can look

782
00:44:41,360 --> 00:44:45,200
Speaker 3: more like Pat Mahomes, you're probably a better quarterback. I

783
00:44:46,160 --> 00:44:49,120
Speaker 3: think the reason Pat Mahomes looks like he does is

784
00:44:49,160 --> 00:44:53,719
Speaker 3: because he's the one and only. I think if you

785
00:44:53,760 --> 00:44:56,480
Speaker 3: want to start making Josh look like somebody other than

786
00:44:56,520 --> 00:44:58,160
Speaker 3: he is, I think you're kind of headed down the

787
00:44:58,160 --> 00:45:00,920
Speaker 3: wrong path. You need to make Josh the best version

788
00:45:00,920 --> 00:45:04,400
Speaker 3: of Josh. Certainly, you can point to other examples of

789
00:45:04,440 --> 00:45:06,520
Speaker 3: guys who do things a little differently or live better

790
00:45:06,560 --> 00:45:08,560
Speaker 3: than Josh, or things that Josh does better than some

791
00:45:08,640 --> 00:45:11,000
Speaker 3: other guys, those kind of things. But I think you

792
00:45:11,080 --> 00:45:12,840
Speaker 3: just need Josh to be as good as he can be.

793
00:45:14,200 --> 00:45:16,640
Speaker 3: And I get what you mean about the yards after catch,

794
00:45:18,960 --> 00:45:21,080
Speaker 3: and there is some of that leading guys away from

795
00:45:21,120 --> 00:45:23,200
Speaker 3: defenders on the dead run so they can keep their

796
00:45:23,239 --> 00:45:29,239
Speaker 3: momentum going. That kind of thing, certainly, certainly is a

797
00:45:29,320 --> 00:45:35,839
Speaker 3: good idea, But I don't know about making Josh into

798
00:45:35,880 --> 00:45:38,520
Speaker 3: a Pat Mahomes. Certainly, you know, anybody would love to

799
00:45:38,520 --> 00:45:40,960
Speaker 3: be a quarterback like Mahomes. But I think he's a

800
00:45:41,040 --> 00:45:42,759
Speaker 3: unique talent. I think he's got stuff that he does

801
00:45:42,800 --> 00:45:45,320
Speaker 3: and nobody else could do. Throwing off one foot, falling

802
00:45:45,400 --> 00:45:47,920
Speaker 3: down and side arm and you know, submarine and the

803
00:45:47,920 --> 00:45:51,560
Speaker 3: ball forward kind of throws. I think that's that's a

804
00:45:52,040 --> 00:45:55,080
Speaker 3: Pat Mahomes one and only Josh can do some things

805
00:45:55,080 --> 00:45:56,640
Speaker 3: nobody else can do too. I think he just need

806
00:45:56,680 --> 00:45:59,120
Speaker 3: those guys to be themselves and Josh and I think

807
00:45:59,400 --> 00:46:01,920
Speaker 3: McDermott as well as anybody. And I think another way

808
00:46:01,960 --> 00:46:06,080
Speaker 3: of saying what you're saying, Jack is just just make

809
00:46:06,160 --> 00:46:08,239
Speaker 3: Josh make the right decision all the time, because I

810
00:46:08,280 --> 00:46:10,640
Speaker 3: think physically, with his arm and his head and his

811
00:46:10,719 --> 00:46:13,600
Speaker 3: body and his mechanics all that, he can make any throw,

812
00:46:14,239 --> 00:46:15,880
Speaker 3: but he's got to make the right decision thrown at

813
00:46:15,880 --> 00:46:16,359
Speaker 3: the right guy.

814
00:46:16,520 --> 00:46:19,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I will give credit to Josh for this,

815
00:46:19,120 --> 00:46:22,720
Speaker 2: because while he might not be the best at leading

816
00:46:22,760 --> 00:46:26,920
Speaker 2: receivers into space, for yards after catch opportunities, he will

817
00:46:27,080 --> 00:46:30,719
Speaker 2: in tight space put it on the proper shoulder to

818
00:46:30,840 --> 00:46:33,919
Speaker 2: allow the receiver to spin away from a tackle. I've

819
00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:37,719
Speaker 2: seen him do that multiple times. Where you know a

820
00:46:37,760 --> 00:46:41,640
Speaker 2: defender is bearing down on the receiver's left side, he'll

821
00:46:41,680 --> 00:46:44,319
Speaker 2: put it on his on his receiver's right shoulder so

822
00:46:44,360 --> 00:46:46,719
Speaker 2: he can spin away from the hit instead of into it.

823
00:46:46,920 --> 00:46:48,839
Speaker 2: I've seen him do that several times over the last

824
00:46:48,880 --> 00:46:51,600
Speaker 2: couple of years. Eight h three oh five fifty the

825
00:46:51,680 --> 00:46:54,239
Speaker 2: number to get on board. Let's go to Jim in

826
00:46:54,360 --> 00:46:56,759
Speaker 2: West Seneca next, will squeeze him in before the break.

827
00:46:56,800 --> 00:47:00,440
Speaker 2: What do you got for his Jim?

828
00:47:00,920 --> 00:47:04,880
Speaker 11: I got that. Uh. It seemed like he was always

829
00:47:04,960 --> 00:47:09,680
Speaker 11: running to the right passing from the right and because

830
00:47:09,719 --> 00:47:14,080
Speaker 11: they were blowing in from this left side, and now

831
00:47:14,239 --> 00:47:17,719
Speaker 11: they beefed it up. Now they'll be able to run

832
00:47:17,800 --> 00:47:23,320
Speaker 11: to the left pass from the left and or right now.

833
00:47:24,320 --> 00:47:26,920
Speaker 11: So he should be a better player in that sense.

834
00:47:27,640 --> 00:47:30,520
Speaker 2: So you're you're attributing that to better protection up front?

835
00:47:31,800 --> 00:47:35,560
Speaker 3: Yes, okay, okay, well yeah, I mean yeah, better off

836
00:47:36,400 --> 00:47:39,160
Speaker 3: right time. Yeah, I said it earlier in the show.

837
00:47:39,239 --> 00:47:43,000
Speaker 3: I think the in that rant that I put out

838
00:47:43,080 --> 00:47:46,400
Speaker 3: yesterday that we're kind of basing this off of I

839
00:47:46,440 --> 00:47:48,680
Speaker 3: would much. I think the offense will look better when

840
00:47:48,800 --> 00:47:53,920
Speaker 3: Josh can drop back, hitch a step, make the decision,

841
00:47:54,080 --> 00:47:57,560
Speaker 3: let it go without having to worry about having guys

842
00:47:57,560 --> 00:47:59,359
Speaker 3: in and around his legs, or in around his feet,

843
00:47:59,440 --> 00:48:01,919
Speaker 3: or his throwing arm in the middle of his motion

844
00:48:02,400 --> 00:48:09,680
Speaker 3: blown out as ucl if they can keep him consistently

845
00:48:09,800 --> 00:48:15,839
Speaker 3: cleaner in the pocket, I mean, it's it's obvious he's

846
00:48:15,840 --> 00:48:18,759
Speaker 3: gonna play better, but they got to do that and

847
00:48:18,800 --> 00:48:22,359
Speaker 3: do it consistently so he learns to trust it. We've

848
00:48:22,360 --> 00:48:24,799
Speaker 3: all seen too many quarterbacks pull it down too early

849
00:48:24,840 --> 00:48:27,200
Speaker 3: and start to run around back there, particularly young guys.

850
00:48:27,400 --> 00:48:30,200
Speaker 3: Josh doesn't really do that too much. He's gotten to

851
00:48:30,239 --> 00:48:31,959
Speaker 3: the point now where he lets it loose on time.

852
00:48:32,320 --> 00:48:36,360
Speaker 3: That's what I think this offense needs to do. And

853
00:48:36,400 --> 00:48:38,440
Speaker 3: you're right, offensive line is a huge part of that.

854
00:48:38,840 --> 00:48:42,360
Speaker 2: Right, And I don't think the reason he rolls to

855
00:48:42,400 --> 00:48:45,480
Speaker 2: the right is because the protection was compromised on the left.

856
00:48:45,680 --> 00:48:48,279
Speaker 2: As any right handed quarterback will tell you, rolling to

857
00:48:48,320 --> 00:48:52,239
Speaker 2: the right, it's easier to throw than it is to

858
00:48:52,400 --> 00:48:54,719
Speaker 2: roll to your left as a right handed quarterback and

859
00:48:54,719 --> 00:48:57,880
Speaker 2: throw the football because you're running to the left, your

860
00:48:57,960 --> 00:49:01,200
Speaker 2: hips are pointed towards the left sideline, and before you

861
00:49:01,280 --> 00:49:03,440
Speaker 2: throw the ball you've got to turn and square up

862
00:49:03,440 --> 00:49:06,440
Speaker 2: your hips to put the proper power on the throw.

863
00:49:07,440 --> 00:49:10,520
Speaker 2: That is very hard to do because you're throwing across

864
00:49:10,600 --> 00:49:14,080
Speaker 2: your body and fighting your own momentum to make a

865
00:49:14,120 --> 00:49:17,480
Speaker 2: play throwing right handed rolling left, when you're rolling right

866
00:49:17,520 --> 00:49:20,000
Speaker 2: as a right handed quarterback, it's just a more natural

867
00:49:20,080 --> 00:49:24,799
Speaker 2: throwing motion because your right hip is back downfield as

868
00:49:24,840 --> 00:49:26,880
Speaker 2: it is when you set up in the pocket, and

869
00:49:26,920 --> 00:49:29,359
Speaker 2: that's why it's easier to roll to the right and

870
00:49:29,400 --> 00:49:32,880
Speaker 2: still make plays with a natural feel to your throwing mechanics.

871
00:49:33,960 --> 00:49:36,919
Speaker 2: I don't think it was a compromise in protection, although

872
00:49:37,000 --> 00:49:39,760
Speaker 2: I do agree with you Jack that the protection should

873
00:49:39,760 --> 00:49:43,280
Speaker 2: be better. The Bills made the biggest free agent investment

874
00:49:43,320 --> 00:49:46,400
Speaker 2: of the entire offseason at the left guard position in

875
00:49:46,440 --> 00:49:50,040
Speaker 2: the form of Connor McGovern so, and then they added

876
00:49:50,080 --> 00:49:52,840
Speaker 2: a couple more with a second round draft pick and

877
00:49:52,960 --> 00:49:54,960
Speaker 2: David Edwards, who was a three year starter for the

878
00:49:55,080 --> 00:50:00,000
Speaker 2: La Rams. Those investments alone would tell you how much

879
00:50:00,120 --> 00:50:03,160
Speaker 2: they felt improving the protection and the run blocking in

880
00:50:03,200 --> 00:50:07,000
Speaker 2: front of Josh, how important that was. So there you are.

881
00:50:07,360 --> 00:50:09,359
Speaker 2: We have to take a break here, but you tell

882
00:50:09,440 --> 00:50:11,920
Speaker 2: us what changes you think Josh is gonna make to

883
00:50:11,920 --> 00:50:15,160
Speaker 2: his game in the upcoming twenty twenty three season. The

905
00:51:49,840 --> 00:51:52,440
Speaker 2: the phones and to Jim in West Seneca. What do

906
00:51:52,480 --> 00:51:52,920
Speaker 2: you got for us?

907
00:51:53,000 --> 00:51:53,640
Speaker 3: Jim?

908
00:51:54,600 --> 00:51:59,480
Speaker 11: Well, I think that Josh last year seemed to be

909
00:51:59,760 --> 00:52:04,480
Speaker 11: all he's running to the right, running the ball from

910
00:52:04,520 --> 00:52:08,600
Speaker 11: the right, passing from the right, trolling across the digs

911
00:52:08,680 --> 00:52:13,080
Speaker 11: on the left hand side, because the offensive line seemed

912
00:52:13,080 --> 00:52:17,360
Speaker 11: to be blowing right through and tackling him in the backfield.

913
00:52:17,719 --> 00:52:21,160
Speaker 11: This year, they beached up that line and he should

914
00:52:21,160 --> 00:52:23,239
Speaker 11: be able to go to the left, or go to

915
00:52:23,280 --> 00:52:26,040
Speaker 11: the right, passer on the left, or passer and the

916
00:52:26,120 --> 00:52:31,360
Speaker 11: right and run from either side. So that that's my opinion.

917
00:52:31,480 --> 00:52:33,640
Speaker 11: I think he's going to be a better quarterback. He'll

918
00:52:34,520 --> 00:52:36,879
Speaker 11: as long as he's got that line to protect him.

919
00:52:37,239 --> 00:52:38,680
Speaker 2: All right, Thanks, UN's good, Jim?

920
00:52:38,680 --> 00:52:39,560
Speaker 3: Are we had time work?

921
00:52:39,600 --> 00:52:42,960
Speaker 2: I think there's an echo in here that wasn't The

922
00:52:43,000 --> 00:52:45,720
Speaker 2: previous caller was not a guy from my senecond.

923
00:52:45,360 --> 00:52:45,959
Speaker 3: But it was Jim.

924
00:52:46,160 --> 00:52:46,520
Speaker 11: It was.

925
00:52:46,600 --> 00:52:47,520
Speaker 3: It was the same gym.

926
00:52:47,960 --> 00:52:49,640
Speaker 2: It might be I think it was the same gym.

927
00:52:49,719 --> 00:52:52,840
Speaker 2: He pulled a fast one on us. I don't know

928
00:52:52,840 --> 00:52:54,280
Speaker 2: how he did that, but okay.

929
00:52:54,120 --> 00:52:54,719
Speaker 3: I blame you.

930
00:52:54,760 --> 00:52:56,400
Speaker 2: We covered that sure. Feel free?

931
00:52:56,680 --> 00:52:57,160
Speaker 3: Feel free.

932
00:52:57,200 --> 00:52:59,560
Speaker 2: I mean I saw a guy no more than one

933
00:52:59,640 --> 00:53:01,200
Speaker 2: Jim out there, so I figured out maybe it's a

934
00:53:01,239 --> 00:53:04,200
Speaker 2: different gym. But yeah, I think we covered that ground

935
00:53:04,239 --> 00:53:06,560
Speaker 2: in the last segment, so we'll just move forward. Didn't

936
00:53:06,560 --> 00:53:08,239
Speaker 2: go to Dave and Clarence. We have not had on

937
00:53:08,280 --> 00:53:08,759
Speaker 2: the show yet.

938
00:53:08,840 --> 00:53:11,240
Speaker 6: Dave, how are you tell us?

939
00:53:11,400 --> 00:53:14,600
Speaker 5: And listen. I think the number one thing that's going

940
00:53:14,640 --> 00:53:17,719
Speaker 5: to be different about Josh's game this year is going

941
00:53:17,760 --> 00:53:21,680
Speaker 5: to be a take charge attitude. Now, Steve, you've been

942
00:53:21,719 --> 00:53:25,080
Speaker 5: alluding to this all week, and I kind of think

943
00:53:25,160 --> 00:53:28,040
Speaker 5: it's gone under the radar, but I really think you've

944
00:53:28,120 --> 00:53:32,320
Speaker 5: hit on it. Only the quarterback can bring a team

945
00:53:32,400 --> 00:53:35,680
Speaker 5: together and play as a unit. All the other units,

946
00:53:36,160 --> 00:53:40,080
Speaker 5: offensive line, running backs, and receivers are all outside of

947
00:53:40,080 --> 00:53:43,759
Speaker 5: that realm. If Josh takes the attitude that it is

948
00:53:43,920 --> 00:53:46,399
Speaker 5: either the team or nothing at all, and if you're

949
00:53:46,440 --> 00:53:48,520
Speaker 5: not going to play as one, then get out of here.

950
00:53:48,760 --> 00:53:51,640
Speaker 5: And I'll give you a quick example. At the end

951
00:53:51,680 --> 00:53:56,520
Speaker 5: of the playoff game against Cincinnati, Steph Diggs came over

952
00:53:56,560 --> 00:54:01,400
Speaker 5: and was very demonstrative in Josh's face, as a defense mechanism,

953
00:54:01,560 --> 00:54:06,800
Speaker 5: Josh kept looking down at the teleprompter and offensively ignored

954
00:54:07,760 --> 00:54:11,160
Speaker 5: step But the new Josh I think this year he

955
00:54:11,320 --> 00:54:14,400
Speaker 5: means to stand up and stick his finger in Steph's

956
00:54:14,440 --> 00:54:16,560
Speaker 5: face and telling him get that you know what out

957
00:54:16,600 --> 00:54:19,560
Speaker 5: of here because we are a team and you're not

958
00:54:19,600 --> 00:54:22,480
Speaker 5: going to be a team and you're against us. That

959
00:54:22,800 --> 00:54:25,280
Speaker 5: I think is the one thing that has been missing

960
00:54:25,280 --> 00:54:28,400
Speaker 5: in Josh's attitude all the while. He's a wonderful guy,

961
00:54:28,800 --> 00:54:33,680
Speaker 5: he's a team oriented guy. He loves everybody. But sometimes

962
00:54:34,000 --> 00:54:37,520
Speaker 5: sometimes you gotta let your even your best player know

963
00:54:38,040 --> 00:54:40,879
Speaker 5: that you mean business. And I think that's what we're

964
00:54:40,920 --> 00:54:43,399
Speaker 5: going to see different about Josh. And as I said,

965
00:54:43,520 --> 00:54:47,320
Speaker 5: I'll conclude, Steve, you've been hitting on this all week,

966
00:54:47,640 --> 00:54:48,880
Speaker 5: every great day, fella.

967
00:54:48,960 --> 00:54:51,799
Speaker 3: Thanks Dave, Thanks Dave. I will say this about that.

968
00:54:52,040 --> 00:54:54,400
Speaker 3: There was some stuff made about that when Steph was

969
00:54:54,480 --> 00:54:57,719
Speaker 3: getting on Josh in that game. I know what he's

970
00:54:57,719 --> 00:54:59,359
Speaker 3: saying is as important as the fact of the way

971
00:54:59,360 --> 00:55:05,360
Speaker 3: he was saying. So I heard Steph was encouraging Josh

972
00:55:05,440 --> 00:55:08,600
Speaker 3: like saying, hey, you called, you make it, you do it.

973
00:55:08,640 --> 00:55:10,600
Speaker 3: You know you make the call, you make the play.

974
00:55:10,280 --> 00:55:12,759
Speaker 3: You know you talk to the code, you say that

975
00:55:12,800 --> 00:55:15,360
Speaker 3: what's gonna happen. So he was encouraging Josh to be

976
00:55:15,440 --> 00:55:17,319
Speaker 3: the exact kind of guy you're were asking him to be.

977
00:55:17,520 --> 00:55:19,840
Speaker 3: It's not that Steph was mad at Josh or berating

978
00:55:19,920 --> 00:55:21,640
Speaker 3: Josh or getting after him or telling me he was

979
00:55:21,640 --> 00:55:25,000
Speaker 3: playing like a dog or anything like that. It was

980
00:55:25,080 --> 00:55:29,080
Speaker 3: telling Josh to be the kind of person we're asking

981
00:55:29,200 --> 00:55:31,719
Speaker 3: be like this today. What we're saying, listen, just take

982
00:55:31,760 --> 00:55:32,560
Speaker 3: this thing now.

983
00:55:32,600 --> 00:55:36,239
Speaker 2: At the same time, and this has been corroborated by

984
00:55:36,320 --> 00:55:40,160
Speaker 2: teammates of Steff's, that when he gets that frustrated and

985
00:55:40,280 --> 00:55:43,399
Speaker 2: a game is lost, as that one was, because when

986
00:55:43,400 --> 00:55:46,200
Speaker 2: he came to the sidelines there it was essentially the

987
00:55:46,320 --> 00:55:48,440
Speaker 2: end of the season. That was their last shot of

988
00:55:48,480 --> 00:55:51,759
Speaker 2: climbing back into that football game. Diggs did not get

989
00:55:51,760 --> 00:55:54,920
Speaker 2: targeted on a fourth down play and he was in

990
00:55:54,920 --> 00:55:58,520
Speaker 2: one on one coverage and he wants to help the

991
00:55:58,560 --> 00:56:00,640
Speaker 2: team as much as he can and leaves he's their

992
00:56:00,640 --> 00:56:04,200
Speaker 2: best option, and he's not wrong to think that. But

993
00:56:04,239 --> 00:56:06,279
Speaker 2: according to a lot of his teammates, you got to

994
00:56:06,320 --> 00:56:09,399
Speaker 2: let Steph get it all out when he's frustrated like that,

995
00:56:09,760 --> 00:56:12,080
Speaker 2: You just got to let him say his piece, be

996
00:56:12,200 --> 00:56:15,160
Speaker 2: all demonstrative, wave his arms, jump up and down, whatever

997
00:56:15,200 --> 00:56:16,799
Speaker 2: he's got to do. You got to let him get

998
00:56:16,800 --> 00:56:19,040
Speaker 2: it out of his system because they know him and

999
00:56:19,080 --> 00:56:21,399
Speaker 2: that's how he is. And after he gets it out,

1000
00:56:21,560 --> 00:56:22,160
Speaker 2: he's fine.

1001
00:56:22,239 --> 00:56:25,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, And don't don't think that like in some way

1002
00:56:25,320 --> 00:56:28,920
Speaker 3: hamstrings everybody around him. The fact that they know that

1003
00:56:29,000 --> 00:56:35,719
Speaker 3: about Steph Diggs make lessons that effect. I mean that

1004
00:56:35,960 --> 00:56:39,680
Speaker 3: you know, if if fans and stuff, everybody's some of

1005
00:56:39,680 --> 00:56:42,200
Speaker 3: the fans were like, oh my god, the sky was

1006
00:56:42,200 --> 00:56:44,839
Speaker 3: falling because Steph had you know, was yelling her scream

1007
00:56:45,080 --> 00:56:47,040
Speaker 3: for the guys on the sideline. Is no big deal,

1008
00:56:47,200 --> 00:56:49,319
Speaker 3: that ain't. It's part of the group dynamic of being

1009
00:56:49,320 --> 00:56:51,319
Speaker 3: in the locker room. You have guys that act certain

1010
00:56:51,320 --> 00:56:55,520
Speaker 3: ways in certain situations. You expect it. You expect you know,

1011
00:56:55,840 --> 00:56:58,200
Speaker 3: you expect Jim Kelly to go in and puke before

1012
00:56:58,239 --> 00:57:00,560
Speaker 3: the game. It's a cool, no problem. It's not that

1013
00:57:00,800 --> 00:57:03,560
Speaker 3: it's different. It's like, not outrageous. It happens every week.

1014
00:57:04,320 --> 00:57:08,240
Speaker 3: When when Steph gets into situations like that, he acts

1015
00:57:08,280 --> 00:57:10,279
Speaker 3: like that. Guys know it, they expect it, and it's

1016
00:57:10,320 --> 00:57:14,080
Speaker 3: okay with them. When Josh gets into certain situations, he

1017
00:57:14,160 --> 00:57:17,400
Speaker 3: does stuff. Guys expect it, they know it. They it's

1018
00:57:17,440 --> 00:57:20,080
Speaker 3: comforting almost to see a guy act out in a

1019
00:57:20,120 --> 00:57:22,720
Speaker 3: way that you expect him to act out. It's normal,

1020
00:57:23,360 --> 00:57:27,160
Speaker 3: you know. These guys. Guys are so aware of each

1021
00:57:27,200 --> 00:57:32,560
Speaker 3: other's attitudes, actions, the way they work, the way they think,

1022
00:57:32,880 --> 00:57:35,680
Speaker 3: the way they speak, how they react to certain things. People.

1023
00:57:35,920 --> 00:57:39,080
Speaker 3: Guys are so aware and so familiar with guys. It

1024
00:57:39,120 --> 00:57:41,440
Speaker 3: doesn't affect that locker room the way we think it

1025
00:57:41,480 --> 00:57:43,960
Speaker 3: does the way it does fans, because the fans don't know.

1026
00:57:44,760 --> 00:57:54,000
Speaker 3: So those sideline spats for them, in large measure are meaningless, certainly,

1027
00:57:54,240 --> 00:57:57,439
Speaker 3: And mostly they're helpful, even if it looks like they're

1028
00:57:57,440 --> 00:58:01,880
Speaker 3: in a combative way, in a combative mode. Mostly they're helpful. Certainly,

1029
00:58:01,880 --> 00:58:05,120
Speaker 3: not all of them, but most of the time they're constructive.

1030
00:58:05,160 --> 00:58:10,360
Speaker 3: Even though they look violent or argumentative or combative, it's

1031
00:58:10,480 --> 00:58:16,200
Speaker 3: usually helpful. So, yeah, don't don't get carried away. And

1032
00:58:16,440 --> 00:58:18,760
Speaker 3: I see why you use that, And I mean our

1033
00:58:19,080 --> 00:58:21,480
Speaker 3: our guy Dave, you know, he used as an example

1034
00:58:21,520 --> 00:58:23,080
Speaker 3: of what he wants Josh to be like he wants

1035
00:58:23,120 --> 00:58:25,040
Speaker 3: them And I see that, and I and I would

1036
00:58:25,160 --> 00:58:29,320
Speaker 3: agree with it. I think there's room for Josh to

1037
00:58:29,400 --> 00:58:32,000
Speaker 3: be the guy that says, hey, that this house can

1038
00:58:32,080 --> 00:58:35,840
Speaker 3: be that. The NFL is like I've let you know,

1039
00:58:35,880 --> 00:58:38,640
Speaker 3: I've told you a couple off the air. It's neck

1040
00:58:38,720 --> 00:58:41,920
Speaker 3: deep in stories about quarterbacks who were that way, and

1041
00:58:41,960 --> 00:58:45,800
Speaker 3: they're most of them are humorous now because the guy

1042
00:58:45,920 --> 00:58:50,800
Speaker 3: was the guy had to be such a donkey to

1043
00:58:50,920 --> 00:58:52,760
Speaker 3: get guys to do what he wanted him to do.

1044
00:58:53,440 --> 00:58:56,040
Speaker 3: Everybody thought he was a donkey all the time when

1045
00:58:56,080 --> 00:59:00,800
Speaker 3: he really wasn't you know what I mean? So you

1046
00:59:00,880 --> 00:59:04,400
Speaker 3: the guy get yeah, So that kind of stuff happens.

1047
00:59:04,960 --> 00:59:09,320
Speaker 3: So it it's a weird world inside an NFL locker room.

1048
00:59:09,720 --> 00:59:13,600
Speaker 3: But it gets weird because it's so individualized and so

1049
00:59:14,320 --> 00:59:18,160
Speaker 3: and I say that it's so intimate. These guys can

1050
00:59:18,240 --> 00:59:21,960
Speaker 3: do things for and with each other and to each

1051
00:59:22,000 --> 00:59:27,120
Speaker 3: other in a in a positive way that can be

1052
00:59:27,800 --> 00:59:30,600
Speaker 3: perceived as just the opposite of that from the outside.

1053
00:59:31,960 --> 00:59:34,120
Speaker 2: Let's get back to the phones and see what you

1054
00:59:34,200 --> 00:59:36,080
Speaker 2: have to say at eighth three oh five point fifty

1055
00:59:36,120 --> 00:59:38,720
Speaker 2: open line for you there, and we go to Tia

1056
00:59:38,800 --> 00:59:41,360
Speaker 2: in Lavonia next. What do you got for us? Tia?

1057
00:59:41,640 --> 00:59:46,720
Speaker 13: Hi, guys, Happy Memorial Day? Early One thing Josh needs

1058
00:59:46,720 --> 00:59:51,880
Speaker 13: to change only is to lower his ironts. Those receivers

1059
00:59:51,920 --> 00:59:54,560
Speaker 13: out there, if that ball comes with an armed link,

1060
00:59:54,960 --> 00:59:57,880
Speaker 13: they better catch it. Other than that, he's a beast.

1061
00:59:57,880 --> 01:00:00,720
Speaker 13: He don't have to change a thing in my view

1062
01:00:00,760 --> 01:00:01,400
Speaker 13: except that.

1063
01:00:01,960 --> 01:00:04,800
Speaker 2: Okay, fair enough, cut that right, and now wait.

1064
01:00:04,680 --> 01:00:07,240
Speaker 13: A minute, one one more thing I want to say.

1065
01:00:07,440 --> 01:00:10,520
Speaker 13: Thank guys talking about him being like Patrick A. Holmes.

1066
01:00:10,880 --> 01:00:14,680
Speaker 13: Not He's Josh. He went total toe with them season

1067
01:00:14,760 --> 01:00:19,120
Speaker 13: before last. He can go total toe with anybody running game.

1068
01:00:19,280 --> 01:00:21,520
Speaker 13: I don't give a crap about long as them dudes.

1069
01:00:21,560 --> 01:00:24,600
Speaker 13: That ball comes with an arm's length, they catch it.

1070
01:00:24,960 --> 01:00:27,160
Speaker 14: He lowers his turnovers. We're good.

1071
01:00:27,760 --> 01:00:29,680
Speaker 13: Thank you, you guys have a great weekend.

1072
01:00:29,760 --> 01:00:30,080
Speaker 3: You too.

1073
01:00:30,120 --> 01:00:30,920
Speaker 2: To you, thanks for the call.

1074
01:00:31,120 --> 01:00:33,160
Speaker 3: You can call back any time you want. Your speaking

1075
01:00:33,160 --> 01:00:36,840
Speaker 3: our language, I mean that Brownie and I've been talking

1076
01:00:36,880 --> 01:00:39,680
Speaker 3: about this. If you don't if you cut your interceptions

1077
01:00:39,680 --> 01:00:42,800
Speaker 3: in half, if you cut your fumbles in half, particularly

1078
01:00:42,840 --> 01:00:48,840
Speaker 3: your lost fumbles. Of course, this team is an unstoppable force.

1079
01:00:49,120 --> 01:00:52,680
Speaker 2: How much do you think that is rooted in the

1080
01:00:52,720 --> 01:00:57,880
Speaker 2: instances in which Josh had the full weight of the

1081
01:00:57,920 --> 01:01:01,400
Speaker 2: outcome of the game on his shoulders. When that happens.

1082
01:01:02,160 --> 01:01:07,000
Speaker 2: I almost feel like he loses that decision making edge

1083
01:01:07,400 --> 01:01:11,520
Speaker 2: because I think he feels his options are reduced and

1084
01:01:11,720 --> 01:01:15,640
Speaker 2: it's just him out there, whereas when the offense is humming,

1085
01:01:16,200 --> 01:01:19,920
Speaker 2: guys are making plays around him. I think there's this

1086
01:01:21,280 --> 01:01:23,960
Speaker 2: There isn't this sense of foreboding, if you will, not

1087
01:01:24,040 --> 01:01:26,040
Speaker 2: that I know that he thinks that way, but you

1088
01:01:26,080 --> 01:01:28,919
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying, when things aren't going right, when

1089
01:01:28,920 --> 01:01:31,080
Speaker 2: the offense looks like a heavy lift, he puts it

1090
01:01:31,120 --> 01:01:34,360
Speaker 2: on himself to make more of the plays. And I

1091
01:01:34,400 --> 01:01:37,320
Speaker 2: think that's when you get into the danger area and

1092
01:01:37,440 --> 01:01:43,360
Speaker 2: turnovers become more prevalent. And so I think Brandon Bean

1093
01:01:43,480 --> 01:01:49,680
Speaker 2: very astutely, and Sean McDermot undoubtedly has supported this, has

1094
01:01:50,120 --> 01:01:53,760
Speaker 2: upgraded some of the positions around him, the skilled positions

1095
01:01:54,520 --> 01:01:57,840
Speaker 2: chief among them, and then obviously the offensive line positions too.

1096
01:01:59,440 --> 01:02:02,360
Speaker 2: I think to give him faith and confidence that, you

1097
01:02:02,400 --> 01:02:04,520
Speaker 2: know what, I don't have to do all of it

1098
01:02:04,880 --> 01:02:08,240
Speaker 2: right now. Look, there are certainly gonna be games this

1099
01:02:08,320 --> 01:02:10,240
Speaker 2: year where the offense is stinking out the joint and

1100
01:02:10,280 --> 01:02:12,360
Speaker 2: he might have to put the cape on once or twice.

1101
01:02:12,520 --> 01:02:14,000
Speaker 2: I think they're hoping he doesn't have to put on

1102
01:02:14,040 --> 01:02:16,720
Speaker 2: the Cape eight or nine times. Maybe it's just one

1103
01:02:16,800 --> 01:02:19,320
Speaker 2: or two times, you know, this season in a seventeen

1104
01:02:19,360 --> 01:02:21,480
Speaker 2: game schedule. You know what I'm saying, absolutely, and I

1105
01:02:21,480 --> 01:02:23,120
Speaker 2: think that will cut the turnovers down too.

1106
01:02:23,480 --> 01:02:25,680
Speaker 3: I think you're right. Some of it is rooted in

1107
01:02:25,880 --> 01:02:29,920
Speaker 3: his belief that he has to put the team on

1108
01:02:30,000 --> 01:02:33,880
Speaker 3: his shoulders, and his belief that he can put the

1109
01:02:33,920 --> 01:02:37,600
Speaker 3: team on his shoulders anytime he darn well wants to,

1110
01:02:37,800 --> 01:02:41,520
Speaker 3: you know what I mean, There is a little bit

1111
01:02:41,520 --> 01:02:42,800
Speaker 3: of that in there. I would think some of that

1112
01:02:42,880 --> 01:02:45,680
Speaker 3: is rooted in there the turnovers, I mean, right, yeah,

1113
01:02:45,760 --> 01:02:48,520
Speaker 3: some of the attitude and the reasons why Josh thinks,

1114
01:02:48,560 --> 01:02:50,320
Speaker 3: all right, well, I'm gonna win this game here in

1115
01:02:50,360 --> 01:02:52,560
Speaker 3: the early in the third quarter, you know what I mean,

1116
01:02:52,600 --> 01:02:54,040
Speaker 3: I'm gonna do it right now in this play, I'm

1117
01:02:54,040 --> 01:02:56,840
Speaker 3: gonna win the game, right that kind of attitude where

1118
01:02:56,960 --> 01:02:59,800
Speaker 3: you know you're gonna you're gonna put the cape on,

1119
01:03:00,080 --> 01:03:03,360
Speaker 3: come the ultimate weapon, and it'll just be over with.

1120
01:03:04,600 --> 01:03:06,640
Speaker 3: I think some of the turnovers do happen with that.

1121
01:03:06,840 --> 01:03:09,880
Speaker 3: I think you look back at the last turnover right

1122
01:03:09,880 --> 01:03:12,400
Speaker 3: at the end of the Minnesota game, the interception that

1123
01:03:12,520 --> 01:03:16,600
Speaker 3: ended the game in overtime, He's trying to make a

1124
01:03:16,640 --> 01:03:18,720
Speaker 3: throw he didn't need to make. He's got an option

1125
01:03:18,880 --> 01:03:23,120
Speaker 3: right here that he could hit in Devin Singletary, who

1126
01:03:23,200 --> 01:03:26,200
Speaker 3: is they forgot about? And he tries to squeeze it

1127
01:03:26,240 --> 01:03:29,160
Speaker 3: in and it was you know, it took a superhuman

1128
01:03:29,200 --> 01:03:31,680
Speaker 3: throw that was just off and you know it gets

1129
01:03:31,680 --> 01:03:34,320
Speaker 3: picked off and the game's over All of that stuff

1130
01:03:34,400 --> 01:03:39,760
Speaker 3: happens because too often he decides he's gonna win the game,

1131
01:03:39,800 --> 01:03:43,600
Speaker 3: and he does win the game thirteen times. It happened

1132
01:03:43,680 --> 01:03:47,360
Speaker 3: last year. Maybe if it only happened three we you know,

1133
01:03:48,160 --> 01:03:50,040
Speaker 3: and with all these guys they've gotten on this, with

1134
01:03:50,040 --> 01:03:53,160
Speaker 3: the upgrades around him, you would think, yeah, they see

1135
01:03:53,160 --> 01:03:56,440
Speaker 3: the same thing we do. Let's give Josh some options

1136
01:03:56,440 --> 01:03:58,200
Speaker 3: that he doesn't have to put the cape on and

1137
01:03:58,200 --> 01:04:00,120
Speaker 3: he understands it and trusts it.

1138
01:04:01,200 --> 01:04:04,480
Speaker 2: Let's get back to the phones and to Scott in Florida.

1139
01:04:04,560 --> 01:04:04,800
Speaker 3: Next.

1140
01:04:04,800 --> 01:04:06,600
Speaker 2: What do you got for a Scott?

1141
01:04:06,840 --> 01:04:10,120
Speaker 11: I got a good and why I think Chris Watson

1142
01:04:10,200 --> 01:04:14,360
Speaker 11: Everything on the TV in the last week, They've made

1143
01:04:14,400 --> 01:04:21,360
Speaker 11: the Jets and the Dolphins super Bowl champions and I

1144
01:04:22,320 --> 01:04:25,120
Speaker 11: just can't understand how they can shup ahead of the Bills.

1145
01:04:25,360 --> 01:04:30,000
Speaker 11: Which I am. I'm pure a lover, right, So I

1146
01:04:30,040 --> 01:04:32,000
Speaker 11: just wanted to ask the way you're thinking about that.

1147
01:04:32,440 --> 01:04:35,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I'm not surprised. The New York height

1148
01:04:35,200 --> 01:04:38,600
Speaker 2: machine is what is what it is. And so when

1149
01:04:38,600 --> 01:04:41,320
Speaker 2: you have a four time MVP coming to a franchise

1150
01:04:42,000 --> 01:04:45,040
Speaker 2: that hasn't had a franchise caliber quarterback for the better

1151
01:04:45,080 --> 01:04:49,680
Speaker 2: part of the last forty years, they're gonna get excited

1152
01:04:50,200 --> 01:04:53,560
Speaker 2: and the expectations are going to be overinflated. And I

1153
01:04:53,600 --> 01:04:59,320
Speaker 2: think people just feel on paper they've got a better team.

1154
01:04:59,440 --> 01:05:04,760
Speaker 2: And look, last year, the Jets had a championship caliber defense.

1155
01:05:04,960 --> 01:05:07,800
Speaker 2: It was good enough in my estimation. The problem is

1156
01:05:07,840 --> 01:05:09,880
Speaker 2: they didn't have the same stuff on offense. They weren't

1157
01:05:09,920 --> 01:05:12,160
Speaker 2: a well rounded team. And I think a lot of

1158
01:05:12,160 --> 01:05:16,000
Speaker 2: people were of the opinion after watching disastrous quarterback play

1159
01:05:16,080 --> 01:05:18,680
Speaker 2: last year, Oh, all the Jets needed to proven quarterback.

1160
01:05:18,760 --> 01:05:20,680
Speaker 2: And then they get a four time MVP, and so

1161
01:05:20,760 --> 01:05:23,160
Speaker 2: people are over the moon about them, saying, oh, yeah,

1162
01:05:23,240 --> 01:05:24,600
Speaker 2: they're gonna run off with this thing.

1163
01:05:25,400 --> 01:05:29,600
Speaker 3: There's yeah, listen, everybody's gonna pick a Super Bowl favorite.

1164
01:05:29,840 --> 01:05:32,600
Speaker 3: That's what we do. Last year was the Bills and

1165
01:05:32,680 --> 01:05:34,720
Speaker 3: the Chiefs, and you know a couple of other things.

1166
01:05:34,760 --> 01:05:37,480
Speaker 3: Now it's you know, the Bengals and or the Dolphins

1167
01:05:37,560 --> 01:05:40,760
Speaker 3: or the Jets. It's just what we do. I don't

1168
01:05:40,760 --> 01:05:45,240
Speaker 3: have a problem with that, but we can sit here

1169
01:05:45,280 --> 01:05:47,560
Speaker 3: and certainly see the logic in it. The Jets were

1170
01:05:47,720 --> 01:05:50,720
Speaker 3: tough out last year with zero quarterback play. Yeah, I mean,

1171
01:05:50,840 --> 01:05:54,440
Speaker 3: Zach Wilson beat the Bills. You know, don't forget about that.

1172
01:05:54,440 --> 01:05:56,720
Speaker 3: That's how good their roster was last year. And you

1173
01:05:56,720 --> 01:05:59,520
Speaker 3: throw Aaron Rodgers into that, particularly in the year where

1174
01:05:59,520 --> 01:06:03,560
Speaker 3: he's and extremely motivated with some pressure on him to

1175
01:06:03,640 --> 01:06:08,200
Speaker 3: come through, there's every reason to think the Jets are

1176
01:06:08,240 --> 01:06:10,400
Speaker 3: going to be significantly better than they were a year ago.

1177
01:06:11,320 --> 01:06:15,400
Speaker 3: So having said all of that, I mean, Bills fans

1178
01:06:15,440 --> 01:06:20,160
Speaker 3: know this. To get to and win a Super Bowl,

1179
01:06:21,240 --> 01:06:24,600
Speaker 3: you've got to keep a thousand balls juggling all at

1180
01:06:24,640 --> 01:06:27,400
Speaker 3: the same time. And just when you think you've got

1181
01:06:27,440 --> 01:06:29,840
Speaker 3: it and you got the quarterback, you know, you got

1182
01:06:29,880 --> 01:06:31,440
Speaker 3: the quarterback ball, and you toss it in the air

1183
01:06:31,440 --> 01:06:33,360
Speaker 3: to keep it in the air like you're juggling. All

1184
01:06:33,400 --> 01:06:36,240
Speaker 3: of a sudden, your defense drops on the ground, or

1185
01:06:36,280 --> 01:06:39,320
Speaker 3: your secondary drops on the ground, your running game drops

1186
01:06:39,360 --> 01:06:41,760
Speaker 3: on the ground, your defensive line drops on the ground,

1187
01:06:41,840 --> 01:06:44,320
Speaker 3: or injuries get dropped on the ground, or you know,

1188
01:06:44,720 --> 01:06:48,000
Speaker 3: or you have a guy have a heart attack on

1189
01:06:48,040 --> 01:06:56,640
Speaker 3: the field. You know, that kind of thing. There's always

1190
01:06:56,640 --> 01:06:59,080
Speaker 3: something to keep thirty one teams from winning the Super Bowl.

1191
01:07:00,040 --> 01:07:01,880
Speaker 3: Expectations sometimes can be that thing.

1192
01:07:02,800 --> 01:07:08,840
Speaker 2: And I would argue that it's more about the excitement

1193
01:07:09,000 --> 01:07:12,640
Speaker 2: level of what the Jets have at the quarterback position

1194
01:07:13,280 --> 01:07:16,200
Speaker 2: and less. I think people are more excited about what

1195
01:07:16,240 --> 01:07:20,280
Speaker 2: the Jets can be than they are dismissive about what

1196
01:07:20,400 --> 01:07:24,560
Speaker 2: the Bills are, if that makes any sense. I think

1197
01:07:24,840 --> 01:07:28,120
Speaker 2: they're so excited about the Jets that it's blocking out

1198
01:07:28,200 --> 01:07:31,440
Speaker 2: the sun and everything else in the AFC East to

1199
01:07:31,520 --> 01:07:34,360
Speaker 2: a certain extent. And people are excited about the Dolphins

1200
01:07:34,680 --> 01:07:38,480
Speaker 2: because they've retooled their defense, made a big name trade,

1201
01:07:38,880 --> 01:07:43,280
Speaker 2: you know, acquiring Jalen Ramsey and or signing Jalen whatever

1202
01:07:43,280 --> 01:07:44,640
Speaker 2: it was did they sign him a trade for I

1203
01:07:44,680 --> 01:07:47,480
Speaker 2: can't even remember. It's not important. They have Jalen Ramsey,

1204
01:07:47,920 --> 01:07:51,120
Speaker 2: they did trade for him, and they have Vic Vangio

1205
01:07:51,520 --> 01:07:54,600
Speaker 2: as their defensive coordinator who is a proven successful coordinator

1206
01:07:54,640 --> 01:07:57,800
Speaker 2: in this league. And so that's what has people all

1207
01:07:57,920 --> 01:08:01,480
Speaker 2: jazzed up. It's always about the shiny new thing. Last year,

1208
01:08:01,520 --> 01:08:03,960
Speaker 2: the shiny new thing in the AFC East was Von Miller,

1209
01:08:04,520 --> 01:08:07,720
Speaker 2: and so what happened. People got all excited about the

1210
01:08:07,720 --> 01:08:10,880
Speaker 2: Bills and stamped him a super Bowl favorite before they

1211
01:08:10,920 --> 01:08:14,000
Speaker 2: played a game. They're doing the same thing with the Jets,

1212
01:08:14,000 --> 01:08:16,599
Speaker 2: and to a lesser extent, the Dolphins and the Bills

1213
01:08:16,640 --> 01:08:18,640
Speaker 2: are just lying in the weeds. And I'll tell you

1214
01:08:18,760 --> 01:08:21,559
Speaker 2: right now, I'm happy about it. I love the Bills

1215
01:08:21,600 --> 01:08:22,360
Speaker 2: lying in the weeds.

1216
01:08:23,760 --> 01:08:26,320
Speaker 3: That's where I want to Bills fans are more comfortable there.

1217
01:08:27,920 --> 01:08:31,000
Speaker 3: But expectations are part of the NFL, particularly at this

1218
01:08:31,080 --> 01:08:33,960
Speaker 3: time of year, because that's all you have. Everybody's one

1219
01:08:34,040 --> 01:08:38,800
Speaker 3: hundred percent healthy, everybody has improvements that they can point to,

1220
01:08:39,640 --> 01:08:44,600
Speaker 3: and everybody has optimism, and everybody has the exact same record.

1221
01:08:44,960 --> 01:08:49,040
Speaker 3: So it's a very different landscape than it is a

1222
01:08:49,120 --> 01:08:51,720
Speaker 3: month into the season, two months into the season, three

1223
01:08:51,760 --> 01:08:53,920
Speaker 3: months into the season, and then headed into the postseason.

1224
01:08:53,920 --> 01:08:56,760
Speaker 3: It's a very different landscape at all those milestones and

1225
01:08:56,880 --> 01:09:02,400
Speaker 3: this one it's the same. Every year. Every team is better.

1226
01:09:02,560 --> 01:09:05,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, whether it's right, wrong, or indifferent. Back to the

1227
01:09:05,720 --> 01:09:07,680
Speaker 2: phones into Joe and Tanawanda, What do you got for.

1228
01:09:07,640 --> 01:09:13,000
Speaker 4: Us, Joey. I'm still trying to write this down, but yeah,

1229
01:09:13,080 --> 01:09:18,000
Speaker 4: the last play, that argument this stepped its head with Josh.

1230
01:09:18,080 --> 01:09:22,040
Speaker 4: I'm complaining about the play calling on that because we

1231
01:09:22,040 --> 01:09:25,799
Speaker 4: were down by seventeen with seven and a half minutes left.

1232
01:09:26,240 --> 01:09:29,519
Speaker 4: We needed a field goal anyway, why did we even

1233
01:09:29,600 --> 01:09:32,280
Speaker 4: go for it on fourth down? You know, it's like

1234
01:09:32,400 --> 01:09:36,000
Speaker 4: we committed suicide because anything could happen with seven and

1235
01:09:36,000 --> 01:09:38,760
Speaker 4: a half minutes left, Why did we go for it

1236
01:09:38,800 --> 01:09:39,519
Speaker 4: on fourth down?

1237
01:09:39,920 --> 01:09:40,479
Speaker 6: Yeah? I don't know.

1238
01:09:40,680 --> 01:09:42,519
Speaker 4: I was thinking about it for a while and now

1239
01:09:42,520 --> 01:09:45,000
Speaker 4: I finally called, all right, thank you?

1240
01:09:45,160 --> 01:09:47,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, sure, Joe, Joe, I got to tell you I

1241
01:09:47,240 --> 01:09:48,479
Speaker 3: haven't that's off my radar.

1242
01:09:49,640 --> 01:09:52,360
Speaker 2: Well, so it's fourth and six at the sixteen yard

1243
01:09:52,400 --> 01:09:54,479
Speaker 2: line with seven and a half minutes to go in

1244
01:09:54,520 --> 01:10:01,799
Speaker 2: a three score game, right, sure, you can go out

1245
01:10:01,880 --> 01:10:05,560
Speaker 2: and kick the field goal and get your three points.

1246
01:10:06,400 --> 01:10:10,760
Speaker 2: But now you've got to stop the Bengals again, which

1247
01:10:10,800 --> 01:10:12,880
Speaker 2: the defense had not done a great job of doing

1248
01:10:13,000 --> 01:10:16,400
Speaker 2: through the course of the day, and then you got

1249
01:10:16,400 --> 01:10:18,639
Speaker 2: to score, and then you got to stop them again

1250
01:10:19,120 --> 01:10:21,640
Speaker 2: and score again. There's a lot of football going so

1251
01:10:22,320 --> 01:10:28,360
Speaker 2: that's a heavy lift. And I will say that the

1252
01:10:28,400 --> 01:10:34,479
Speaker 2: Bills had gotten into the red zone just two times

1253
01:10:34,560 --> 01:10:37,920
Speaker 2: prior to that in the entire football game. So here

1254
01:10:37,960 --> 01:10:42,360
Speaker 2: they are down at the sixteen yard line, down three scores.

1255
01:10:43,520 --> 01:10:46,360
Speaker 2: It's not unrealistic to think that. Coach McDermott's like, we

1256
01:10:46,439 --> 01:10:49,200
Speaker 2: got to get a touchdown here and then we'll worry

1257
01:10:49,240 --> 01:10:51,280
Speaker 2: about on side kick or whatever we want to do

1258
01:10:51,720 --> 01:10:54,160
Speaker 2: after we stick it in the end zone. You're at

1259
01:10:54,160 --> 01:10:58,400
Speaker 2: the sixteen. I don't mind them going for that at all.

1260
01:10:58,479 --> 01:10:59,280
Speaker 2: I really don't.

1261
01:10:59,439 --> 01:11:03,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, don't. I don't know what the analytics would say

1262
01:11:03,240 --> 01:11:05,360
Speaker 3: about that taking the field. Maybe they would say take

1263
01:11:05,400 --> 01:11:08,519
Speaker 3: a field goal. Fourth and six is a big number.

1264
01:11:10,240 --> 01:11:12,280
Speaker 3: At the sixteen yard line, though, is pretty close.

1265
01:11:13,320 --> 01:11:15,080
Speaker 2: I mean, you're still taking a shot at the end zone.

1266
01:11:15,080 --> 01:11:17,200
Speaker 2: Whether it's fourth and six, fourth and nine, whatever, it's

1267
01:11:17,200 --> 01:11:19,000
Speaker 2: fourth down, Yeah, you gotta score.

1268
01:11:20,520 --> 01:11:23,320
Speaker 3: I can't remember that, I gotta be honest with you.

1269
01:11:23,560 --> 01:11:25,720
Speaker 2: That's the play where Diggs was in one on one

1270
01:11:25,760 --> 01:11:27,800
Speaker 2: coverage on the fart on the back side of the

1271
01:11:27,800 --> 01:11:31,360
Speaker 2: play and Josh threw it to Davis in the end

1272
01:11:31,439 --> 01:11:32,240
Speaker 2: zone and he didn't come.

1273
01:11:32,200 --> 01:11:37,320
Speaker 3: Up with it. Be maybe Sean, maybe It's as simple

1274
01:11:37,320 --> 01:11:39,720
Speaker 3: as Sean having a gut feeling and say, listen, this

1275
01:11:39,760 --> 01:11:40,439
Speaker 3: is what we're gonna do.

1276
01:11:40,520 --> 01:11:42,120
Speaker 2: And not for nothing. They only got the ball one

1277
01:11:42,120 --> 01:11:44,559
Speaker 2: more time because the defense could not get off the field.

1278
01:11:44,640 --> 01:11:48,240
Speaker 2: So I think if you're down there, closed with seven

1279
01:11:48,240 --> 01:11:50,200
Speaker 2: and a half minutes left in a three score game,

1280
01:11:50,680 --> 01:11:52,400
Speaker 2: and you have a chance for a touchdown, you go

1281
01:11:52,479 --> 01:11:55,120
Speaker 2: for the touchdown because you don't know how the next

1282
01:11:55,120 --> 01:11:57,439
Speaker 2: possession is gonna go. What if the next possession stalls

1283
01:11:57,439 --> 01:12:00,280
Speaker 2: at the thirty and it's fourth and six, what are

1284
01:12:00,320 --> 01:12:02,519
Speaker 2: you doing there? You're probably bringing Tyler Bass on to

1285
01:12:02,640 --> 01:12:04,519
Speaker 2: kick it because he's good enough to put it through

1286
01:12:04,560 --> 01:12:07,679
Speaker 2: from there, you know what I mean. So I think

1287
01:12:07,720 --> 01:12:10,120
Speaker 2: with where they were on the field, it dictated let's

1288
01:12:10,120 --> 01:12:12,080
Speaker 2: try to get the touchdown here because we may not

1289
01:12:12,120 --> 01:12:14,640
Speaker 2: get this close again, right, And I think that's what

1290
01:12:14,880 --> 01:12:17,920
Speaker 2: kind of predicated that decision. That's just my guess. I

1291
01:12:17,960 --> 01:12:21,360
Speaker 2: don't know that for sure. Let's go to lou in

1292
01:12:21,479 --> 01:12:22,920
Speaker 2: Rochester next. What do you got first?

1293
01:12:22,920 --> 01:12:29,200
Speaker 14: Lou Hi, guys, I'm Josh Allen. The Jets in Miami

1294
01:12:29,280 --> 01:12:32,559
Speaker 14: don't have him. The bill is due. I wouldn't trade

1295
01:12:32,600 --> 01:12:35,840
Speaker 14: him for my homes Mahomes is kind of an improviser

1296
01:12:35,880 --> 01:12:39,559
Speaker 14: who has been built out by Calsey innumerable times because

1297
01:12:39,600 --> 01:12:43,800
Speaker 14: Kelsey is a mismatch and DC's can figure him out.

1298
01:12:44,320 --> 01:12:48,360
Speaker 14: Hopefully Kinkaid becomes that with the Bills. The one area

1299
01:12:48,439 --> 01:12:53,080
Speaker 14: that Josh could make life easier for himself though, is

1300
01:12:53,080 --> 01:12:58,720
Speaker 14: the dump hop to cook Hines Harris now take the

1301
01:12:58,760 --> 01:13:02,959
Speaker 14: place that Tom Brady used to do, which often resulted

1302
01:13:02,920 --> 01:13:05,920
Speaker 14: in first downs. So hopefully it takes the easy road.

1303
01:13:07,680 --> 01:13:10,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, thanks Lou, Yeah, we would agree. I mean that

1304
01:13:11,120 --> 01:13:12,599
Speaker 3: there was a lot of times when you just wish

1305
01:13:12,640 --> 01:13:16,040
Speaker 3: Josh had to just make it look easy move the

1306
01:13:16,040 --> 01:13:18,840
Speaker 3: ball down the field. I would say this too, And

1307
01:13:18,880 --> 01:13:21,720
Speaker 3: I don't know. As I say that, I'm reminded of

1308
01:13:21,760 --> 01:13:24,320
Speaker 3: how it was early in this last season when you know,

1309
01:13:24,320 --> 01:13:26,240
Speaker 3: they go out to LA on that Thursday night game

1310
01:13:26,240 --> 01:13:28,400
Speaker 3: to kick off the season against the defending world champions

1311
01:13:28,439 --> 01:13:30,320
Speaker 3: and hang thirty one points on them and hold him

1312
01:13:30,320 --> 01:13:33,000
Speaker 3: to ten points. Von Miller gets two sacks in the

1313
01:13:33,000 --> 01:13:35,360
Speaker 3: game and they look like they're humming along. It seemed

1314
01:13:35,439 --> 01:13:38,759
Speaker 3: like although they had big plays in the game, Josh

1315
01:13:38,880 --> 01:13:42,280
Speaker 3: was more willing to hit those quick release get them

1316
01:13:42,280 --> 01:13:45,280
Speaker 3: out of your hands. Passes same thing in the Tennessee

1317
01:13:45,400 --> 01:13:49,000
Speaker 3: game the week a week later, just seemed more willing.

1318
01:13:49,040 --> 01:13:53,280
Speaker 3: And when he did that later on, you'd get the

1319
01:13:53,280 --> 01:13:53,840
Speaker 3: big play.

1320
01:13:54,280 --> 01:13:54,519
Speaker 2: Right.

1321
01:13:56,080 --> 01:13:58,599
Speaker 3: Then you get to a game like a Pittsburgh Steelers game,

1322
01:13:58,720 --> 01:14:01,439
Speaker 3: and your first third down of the game, you're third

1323
01:14:01,479 --> 01:14:04,920
Speaker 3: and sixteen on your own three yard line because you

1324
01:14:05,920 --> 01:14:08,400
Speaker 3: bobble a snap away or whatever it was, they got

1325
01:14:09,520 --> 01:14:12,519
Speaker 3: tackle for loss and Josh dross it back throws a

1326
01:14:12,600 --> 01:14:15,320
Speaker 3: ninety eight yard touchdown pass. Then later he throws a

1327
01:14:15,360 --> 01:14:18,240
Speaker 3: sixty four yard touchdown pass. It's like, who needs them?

1328
01:14:18,360 --> 01:14:19,240
Speaker 3: Who needs the dump off?

1329
01:14:19,400 --> 01:14:19,519
Speaker 13: Right?

1330
01:14:19,520 --> 01:14:21,200
Speaker 2: I lure it into his false sense of security.

1331
01:14:21,240 --> 01:14:23,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know how much that happens. He needs

1332
01:14:23,720 --> 01:14:29,360
Speaker 3: to play. It's just unbelievable how that game happens right

1333
01:14:29,360 --> 01:14:36,120
Speaker 3: out of the shoot. But early on, very early in

1334
01:14:36,160 --> 01:14:38,519
Speaker 3: the season, it seemed like, as yeah, okay, they'll do that,

1335
01:14:38,960 --> 01:14:42,160
Speaker 3: we'll take the dump off. But as the season wore on,

1336
01:14:42,280 --> 01:14:44,920
Speaker 3: more and more they got away from it and it

1337
01:14:45,280 --> 01:14:46,679
Speaker 3: became about all or busts.

1338
01:14:46,720 --> 01:14:51,479
Speaker 2: You know, I get it, and I think you can't

1339
01:14:51,479 --> 01:14:54,000
Speaker 2: get lured into a false sense of security. Because he

1340
01:14:54,040 --> 01:14:57,360
Speaker 2: had a red zone turnover in that game and then

1341
01:14:57,400 --> 01:14:59,599
Speaker 2: he still used big plays to win the game handily

1342
01:15:00,120 --> 01:15:02,080
Speaker 2: and so it didn't really crop up as a problem.

1343
01:15:02,120 --> 01:15:05,280
Speaker 2: But that is when the red zone turnovers started and

1344
01:15:05,320 --> 01:15:07,519
Speaker 2: continued for the better part of the next five games

1345
01:15:08,080 --> 01:15:11,599
Speaker 2: and made games much closer than they needed to be.

1346
01:15:12,280 --> 01:15:15,200
Speaker 2: And ESPN threw the stat up yesterday when they were

1347
01:15:15,200 --> 01:15:18,480
Speaker 2: talking about one score games over the last three seasons.

1348
01:15:19,560 --> 01:15:24,599
Speaker 2: Among quarterbacks, Josh leads the league in turnovers with thirty

1349
01:15:24,680 --> 01:15:27,519
Speaker 2: six over the last three seasons in one score games.

1350
01:15:28,200 --> 01:15:31,040
Speaker 2: I think Josh is hyper aware of those kinds of things.

1351
01:15:31,360 --> 01:15:34,000
Speaker 2: He reviews all his film from the season before, and

1352
01:15:34,080 --> 01:15:36,519
Speaker 2: I think he's aware of that along with coach McDermot,

1353
01:15:36,560 --> 01:15:39,640
Speaker 2: and they've probably had those conversations to illustrate a I

1354
01:15:39,720 --> 01:15:42,120
Speaker 2: got to be a better decision maker week in and

1355
01:15:42,200 --> 01:15:46,360
Speaker 2: week out and reduce the risk that might sometimes creep

1356
01:15:46,360 --> 01:15:47,799
Speaker 2: into my game throwing the football.

1357
01:15:47,800 --> 01:15:53,280
Speaker 3: And I'll say this too. Let's not forget the Bills

1358
01:15:53,280 --> 01:15:58,120
Speaker 3: are out to a six and one start and they

1359
01:15:58,120 --> 01:15:59,200
Speaker 3: ain't changing anything.

1360
01:15:59,280 --> 01:16:01,479
Speaker 2: Beat the Chiefs on the road and they ain't changing anything.

1361
01:16:01,520 --> 01:16:03,800
Speaker 3: The Packers come in here and they that Packers are

1362
01:16:03,840 --> 01:16:05,880
Speaker 3: absolutely have no chance of winning that game. They score

1363
01:16:05,920 --> 01:16:10,440
Speaker 3: a touchdown late to get it to ten. The Bills

1364
01:16:10,520 --> 01:16:14,920
Speaker 3: absolutely were throttling people, so it wasn't any reason for

1365
01:16:14,960 --> 01:16:17,599
Speaker 3: them to think, you know, maybe maybe we should start

1366
01:16:17,600 --> 01:16:22,360
Speaker 3: taking the dump down. No, you know, they were rolling people.

1367
01:16:23,400 --> 01:16:30,040
Speaker 3: So I'm, uh, yeah, I get it, and I agree.

1368
01:16:30,160 --> 01:16:32,719
Speaker 3: I think Josh does need to hit those and Brownie

1369
01:16:32,760 --> 01:16:35,280
Speaker 3: you call them easy button throws. Just take it, and

1370
01:16:35,320 --> 01:16:37,599
Speaker 3: let's stay on the field and let's you know, get

1371
01:16:37,640 --> 01:16:39,840
Speaker 3: it first down and keep rolling, you know, just keep

1372
01:16:39,840 --> 01:16:44,200
Speaker 3: doing it. If they do that more this year, two

1373
01:16:44,240 --> 01:16:47,599
Speaker 3: fold effect. One they stay on the field. Two, they

1374
01:16:47,680 --> 01:16:49,960
Speaker 3: face fewer third downs even though they're very good at it.

1375
01:16:51,240 --> 01:16:55,880
Speaker 3: And now it's three and three, they turn it over less. Yeah,

1376
01:16:55,880 --> 01:16:57,320
Speaker 3: because he's not trying to force it in.

1377
01:16:58,400 --> 01:17:02,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, higher percentage throws. Break time for us here, more

1378
01:17:02,080 --> 01:17:03,800
Speaker 2: of your thoughts coming up on the tweet sheet, and

1379
01:17:03,840 --> 01:17:06,479
Speaker 2: we may even crack open the Friday fan mail bag

1380
01:17:06,520 --> 01:17:09,040
Speaker 2: here on a getaway Thursday. One Bill's live for is

1381
01:17:09,040 --> 01:17:21,320
Speaker 2: anybody toll out of health? It's Buffalo Bills Radio right

1382
01:17:21,360 --> 01:17:23,400
Speaker 2: back here on one of Bill's lives and good comments

1383
01:17:23,439 --> 01:17:23,840
Speaker 2: so far.

1384
01:17:24,479 --> 01:17:26,760
Speaker 11: We go right back to the phones and to.

1385
01:17:26,960 --> 01:17:29,280
Speaker 2: Kevin, who's out there in Rome, New York. What do

1386
01:17:29,280 --> 01:17:30,200
Speaker 2: you got for is Kevin?

1387
01:17:32,320 --> 01:17:33,719
Speaker 15: Good afternoon, love your show.

1388
01:17:33,920 --> 01:17:34,240
Speaker 2: Thanks.

1389
01:17:35,520 --> 01:17:38,760
Speaker 15: I have two comments. One on Josh is running. It

1390
01:17:38,800 --> 01:17:41,479
Speaker 15: would be nice to see him this year be able

1391
01:17:41,520 --> 01:17:45,920
Speaker 15: to run when it's advantageous and not have to run

1392
01:17:46,000 --> 01:17:51,360
Speaker 15: so often because he has to run and be our superhero.

1393
01:17:51,760 --> 01:17:54,120
Speaker 15: The second thing I have to say is what I'd

1394
01:17:54,160 --> 01:17:56,000
Speaker 15: like to see, and I'd like to hear what you

1395
01:17:56,040 --> 01:17:58,479
Speaker 15: guys have to say about it. I'd like to see

1396
01:17:58,560 --> 01:18:01,080
Speaker 15: us running the ball a little bit more with the

1397
01:18:01,120 --> 01:18:05,640
Speaker 15: running backs and Josh be a little more disciplined and

1398
01:18:05,720 --> 01:18:11,400
Speaker 15: throwing the quick, shorter passes. And my logic is, if

1399
01:18:11,439 --> 01:18:16,240
Speaker 15: we do that, then the defenses cannot just rush with

1400
01:18:16,760 --> 01:18:19,400
Speaker 15: a total focus of going after Josh because they could

1401
01:18:19,439 --> 01:18:24,720
Speaker 15: get burned. Secondly, it seems that the cornerbacks and safeties,

1402
01:18:24,960 --> 01:18:28,080
Speaker 15: if we keep doing so well with this shorter and

1403
01:18:28,120 --> 01:18:30,880
Speaker 15: a little bit more running, they might get caught cheating

1404
01:18:30,960 --> 01:18:33,479
Speaker 15: up and that would open up for some of our

1405
01:18:33,520 --> 01:18:38,200
Speaker 15: speedy receivers to be more wide open on the long passes.

1406
01:18:38,840 --> 01:18:40,800
Speaker 15: I'll hang up and look forward to hear what you

1407
01:18:40,880 --> 01:18:41,320
Speaker 15: have to say.

1408
01:18:41,479 --> 01:18:45,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, sure, thank Kevin, I will say this. I think

1409
01:18:45,479 --> 01:18:50,320
Speaker 2: Sean McDermott knows that this is a passing league, and

1410
01:18:50,360 --> 01:18:52,799
Speaker 2: so I think he gives full license to Ken Dorsey

1411
01:18:53,640 --> 01:18:58,200
Speaker 2: to you know, lean more towards the passing game. Not

1412
01:18:58,240 --> 01:19:01,640
Speaker 2: only because that's what the league has proven through analytics

1413
01:19:01,680 --> 01:19:03,840
Speaker 2: is the more effective way to score. But you got

1414
01:19:03,840 --> 01:19:06,280
Speaker 2: a guy back there with a howitzer for an arm,

1415
01:19:06,640 --> 01:19:10,040
Speaker 2: so it makes sense. But I think that at his core,

1416
01:19:10,200 --> 01:19:13,760
Speaker 2: Sean McDermott also believes you have to be able to

1417
01:19:13,920 --> 01:19:19,599
Speaker 2: do everything on offense, and I think under day Ball

1418
01:19:19,600 --> 01:19:21,880
Speaker 2: and then maybe a little bit more under Dorsey, it

1419
01:19:22,000 --> 01:19:25,840
Speaker 2: drifted to an area where while they did run the

1420
01:19:25,840 --> 01:19:28,880
Speaker 2: ball to a certain degree, it was Josh doing most

1421
01:19:28,920 --> 01:19:32,439
Speaker 2: of the heavy lifting in that area because the guys

1422
01:19:32,880 --> 01:19:34,960
Speaker 2: that they had lined up at running back either weren't

1423
01:19:35,040 --> 01:19:40,800
Speaker 2: utilized enough James Cook, or weren't elite enough to have

1424
01:19:40,920 --> 01:19:45,080
Speaker 2: them run it effectively more. And so Brandon Bean went

1425
01:19:45,120 --> 01:19:49,519
Speaker 2: about correcting that this offseason by upgrading the running back position,

1426
01:19:50,120 --> 01:19:54,600
Speaker 2: upgrading the guard position up front to enable them to

1427
01:19:54,720 --> 01:19:57,080
Speaker 2: be better at everything. Now, that doesn't mean they're going

1428
01:19:57,120 --> 01:20:01,040
Speaker 2: to necessarily run at a higher percentage of their plays.

1429
01:20:01,439 --> 01:20:04,840
Speaker 2: They still might be you know, fifty eight forty two

1430
01:20:05,080 --> 01:20:10,040
Speaker 2: pass to run or even sixty forty. But I think

1431
01:20:10,120 --> 01:20:12,519
Speaker 2: if they are better running the ball, they can do

1432
01:20:12,600 --> 01:20:16,400
Speaker 2: what you're hoping the offense can demonstrate, which is keeping

1433
01:20:16,479 --> 01:20:18,960
Speaker 2: a defense more honest. Because I mean we saw it

1434
01:20:19,000 --> 01:20:22,759
Speaker 2: all the time Steve the you know, the ball fake

1435
01:20:23,280 --> 01:20:26,599
Speaker 2: to the running back. It almost became a half hearted

1436
01:20:26,640 --> 01:20:31,160
Speaker 2: exercise where the play action that they had used under dable.

1437
01:20:31,520 --> 01:20:35,080
Speaker 2: I always felt like they were selling it more effectively

1438
01:20:35,479 --> 01:20:37,559
Speaker 2: than maybe we saw at times last year, and I

1439
01:20:37,560 --> 01:20:40,160
Speaker 2: think it did make them one dimensional and more predictable

1440
01:20:40,160 --> 01:20:40,799
Speaker 2: as a result.

1441
01:20:41,520 --> 01:20:45,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, all that stuff I would sign off on. I'm

1442
01:20:45,680 --> 01:20:48,519
Speaker 3: not really ready to run the ball more. No, but

1443
01:20:48,600 --> 01:20:51,280
Speaker 3: you can always run it more effectively. But as soon

1444
01:20:51,320 --> 01:20:54,599
Speaker 3: as you start running it effectively and winning games doing

1445
01:20:54,600 --> 01:20:56,519
Speaker 3: it's like, why don't we run it more? You know,

1446
01:20:56,760 --> 01:20:58,880
Speaker 3: it's a throwing league. You're only going to run it

1447
01:20:58,920 --> 01:21:03,400
Speaker 3: so well, it's because you're playing against NFL defenses and

1448
01:21:03,439 --> 01:21:06,920
Speaker 3: they just refuse to let you do it, so they'll

1449
01:21:07,280 --> 01:21:09,240
Speaker 3: even to the point of enticing you to throw it.

1450
01:21:09,760 --> 01:21:13,400
Speaker 3: So running it more okay. If you can get four

1451
01:21:13,400 --> 01:21:16,360
Speaker 3: and a half five yards a crack and never take

1452
01:21:16,479 --> 01:21:19,600
Speaker 3: a zero play or a negative play, that's kind of

1453
01:21:19,600 --> 01:21:23,040
Speaker 3: where you want to be get good yardage when you

1454
01:21:23,120 --> 01:21:26,559
Speaker 3: hand the ball off and force the defense to respect

1455
01:21:26,600 --> 01:21:29,479
Speaker 3: it every single play. And this stuff about Josh running,

1456
01:21:30,160 --> 01:21:33,960
Speaker 3: and he said, I don't run. I don't know whether

1457
01:21:33,960 --> 01:21:37,679
Speaker 3: you're talking about Josh running the ball on Cald plays

1458
01:21:38,040 --> 01:21:40,960
Speaker 3: or non Cald plays, because when he drops back to pass,

1459
01:21:41,080 --> 01:21:43,519
Speaker 3: pulls it down and runs it, that's that's not a

1460
01:21:43,600 --> 01:21:47,439
Speaker 3: running game with Josh. It's a broken play that Josh

1461
01:21:47,520 --> 01:21:50,080
Speaker 3: makes something out of. It's not a it's not like

1462
01:21:50,120 --> 01:21:52,599
Speaker 3: they hey, drop back, wait a half second, then take

1463
01:21:52,640 --> 01:21:54,120
Speaker 3: off run. And they don't have any plays in the

1464
01:21:54,120 --> 01:21:58,280
Speaker 3: playbook like that, you know, unless unless there's a quarterback draw.

1465
01:22:00,080 --> 01:22:04,799
Speaker 3: But that that's what you're talking about. So I'm yeah,

1466
01:22:04,960 --> 01:22:07,880
Speaker 3: I don't want any call running plays to Josh Allen.

1467
01:22:08,120 --> 01:22:09,680
Speaker 3: If you can help it, if you're good enough to

1468
01:22:09,720 --> 01:22:13,720
Speaker 3: do that, that would be awesome because Josh is going

1469
01:22:13,800 --> 01:22:18,040
Speaker 3: to get his share of running, of his share of carries,

1470
01:22:18,960 --> 01:22:21,200
Speaker 3: just out of the passing game, because that's what he'll do.

1471
01:22:22,000 --> 01:22:24,559
Speaker 3: So I'm with you. I don't want to run the

1472
01:22:24,560 --> 01:22:27,120
Speaker 3: ball more, and I certainly don't want to run it

1473
01:22:27,240 --> 01:22:30,280
Speaker 3: more with Josh. I just want to run it more effectively.

1474
01:22:30,280 --> 01:22:32,720
Speaker 3: We've been saying that for two years, let alone this one,

1475
01:22:32,720 --> 01:22:34,920
Speaker 3: and of course more short passes means the DB's are

1476
01:22:34,920 --> 01:22:37,080
Speaker 3: going to guess more, get tighter and tighter the line

1477
01:22:37,080 --> 01:22:39,320
Speaker 3: of scrimmage, and ultimately you'll beat him deep that way.

1478
01:22:39,920 --> 01:22:42,120
Speaker 3: That's all part and parcel of what it is to

1479
01:22:42,120 --> 01:22:42,759
Speaker 3: play football.

1480
01:22:42,840 --> 01:22:44,840
Speaker 2: And the other thing about the running game too is

1481
01:22:44,920 --> 01:22:47,000
Speaker 2: if you can run it effectively enough when you have

1482
01:22:47,120 --> 01:22:49,639
Speaker 2: the lead at the end of games the four minutes

1483
01:22:49,680 --> 01:22:52,280
Speaker 2: drill for example, and we talked to Jamian Harris about

1484
01:22:52,280 --> 01:22:54,559
Speaker 2: this in studio when we had him here earlier this week.

1485
01:22:54,920 --> 01:22:59,280
Speaker 2: If you can do that, If you can do that,

1486
01:22:59,280 --> 01:23:02,840
Speaker 2: that probably uses your turnovers too, because you're running the

1487
01:23:02,840 --> 01:23:04,880
Speaker 2: ball instead of putting it in harm's way in the

1488
01:23:04,920 --> 01:23:06,760
Speaker 2: air when you already have the lead and the game

1489
01:23:06,760 --> 01:23:09,000
Speaker 2: can be salted away with a running game. May not

1490
01:23:09,040 --> 01:23:11,519
Speaker 2: be sexy, may not be exciting, but if he gets

1491
01:23:11,560 --> 01:23:14,160
Speaker 2: you to win, who that cares? And so I think

1492
01:23:14,200 --> 01:23:18,360
Speaker 2: that's another element of why it would be who of

1493
01:23:18,360 --> 01:23:22,240
Speaker 2: the bills to make the run game more effective. Let's

1494
01:23:22,280 --> 01:23:24,320
Speaker 2: go to the tweet sheet, Steve. We have not done

1495
01:23:24,320 --> 01:23:27,719
Speaker 2: that yet, and we've got some people with some comments

1496
01:23:27,760 --> 01:23:30,080
Speaker 2: over there in terms of what changes they think Josh

1497
01:23:30,160 --> 01:23:32,400
Speaker 2: will make in his game, knowing he's laser focused on

1498
01:23:32,439 --> 01:23:35,560
Speaker 2: this twenty twenty three season and tweets. Sheet brought to

1499
01:23:35,600 --> 01:23:38,280
Speaker 2: you by Corrigan Moving Systems, the official equipment moving company

1500
01:23:38,320 --> 01:23:40,719
Speaker 2: of the Buffalo Bills. Connor leads us off and he says,

1501
01:23:41,280 --> 01:23:43,519
Speaker 2: I think Josh will take more of a role in

1502
01:23:43,560 --> 01:23:45,840
Speaker 2: the offense. He needs to get in his receiver's faces

1503
01:23:45,840 --> 01:23:47,599
Speaker 2: when they aren't doing what he wants. I also want

1504
01:23:47,680 --> 01:23:50,479
Speaker 2: him to voice his opinion Dorsey in terms of playing

1505
01:23:50,520 --> 01:23:54,439
Speaker 2: time for certain players. He obviously wanted Kincaid for a reason.

1506
01:23:55,479 --> 01:23:58,599
Speaker 2: Me Bang Drum says, Josh doesn't need to change anything.

1507
01:23:59,160 --> 01:24:01,920
Speaker 2: The old line needs to perform. He was under constant

1508
01:24:01,920 --> 01:24:04,320
Speaker 2: pressure the second half of twenty twenty two being invested

1509
01:24:04,360 --> 01:24:06,240
Speaker 2: in the line. It's now time for Chromer to step

1510
01:24:06,240 --> 01:24:10,800
Speaker 2: it up. Andrew says, being more aware of his surroundings

1511
01:24:10,800 --> 01:24:13,719
Speaker 2: and trusting that his players will make the plays. Also,

1512
01:24:13,760 --> 01:24:15,639
Speaker 2: taking a little zip off the ball for those short

1513
01:24:15,680 --> 01:24:18,600
Speaker 2: passes might help. That could be could have been a

1514
01:24:18,600 --> 01:24:21,840
Speaker 2: contributing factor for some of those drop passes last season.

1515
01:24:21,840 --> 01:24:23,719
Speaker 2: What do you think of that one from Andrew Being

1516
01:24:23,840 --> 01:24:28,160
Speaker 2: more trusting of the players around him, making plays and

1517
01:24:28,280 --> 01:24:29,559
Speaker 2: taking a little off the fastball.

1518
01:24:29,640 --> 01:24:32,519
Speaker 3: Yeah, I see it. We've talked about it being more

1519
01:24:32,560 --> 01:24:34,760
Speaker 3: trusting the players. Being able to make plays means you're

1520
01:24:34,800 --> 01:24:36,200
Speaker 3: going to give them the chance to do it by

1521
01:24:36,200 --> 01:24:39,120
Speaker 3: giving them the ball, throwing the football to him. You

1522
01:24:39,200 --> 01:24:41,640
Speaker 3: got to trust those guys that when you throw it

1523
01:24:41,680 --> 01:24:43,160
Speaker 3: to them, they're gonna be able to make the play,

1524
01:24:43,320 --> 01:24:46,200
Speaker 3: even if it's you know, short of the line to gain.

1525
01:24:46,360 --> 01:24:55,639
Speaker 3: You know, that's all in Yes, that is his, that's

1526
01:24:55,640 --> 01:24:57,800
Speaker 3: his decision to make. If he doesn't trust him, he's

1527
01:24:57,800 --> 01:24:59,759
Speaker 3: not gonna throw him the football, even on a screen pass.

1528
01:25:00,400 --> 01:25:00,639
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1529
01:25:00,720 --> 01:25:06,200
Speaker 3: So yeah, that's and I'm sure he has a level

1530
01:25:06,200 --> 01:25:09,200
Speaker 3: of trust for all those guys out there. But I

1531
01:25:09,200 --> 01:25:12,120
Speaker 3: think from the way we've been talking, I think a

1532
01:25:12,120 --> 01:25:14,920
Speaker 3: lot of it is to say, listen, I'm not gonna

1533
01:25:14,920 --> 01:25:17,000
Speaker 3: do I'm gonna let him do this this time. I'm

1534
01:25:17,040 --> 01:25:19,599
Speaker 3: not gonna put the cape on and carry this team.

1535
01:25:19,600 --> 01:25:21,519
Speaker 3: I'm gonna allow this guy to carry the team for

1536
01:25:21,560 --> 01:25:22,000
Speaker 3: a minute.

1537
01:25:22,040 --> 01:25:22,240
Speaker 6: You know.

1538
01:25:22,479 --> 01:25:25,080
Speaker 3: Yep, that's kind of the mindset we've been talking about.

1539
01:25:25,320 --> 01:25:27,719
Speaker 2: Carl says. I think he will focus more on taking

1540
01:25:27,760 --> 01:25:30,000
Speaker 2: what the defense gives him and protecting the football too.

1541
01:25:30,040 --> 01:25:34,160
Speaker 2: Many turnovers last year, especially in the red zone. That's right,

1542
01:25:34,320 --> 01:25:37,680
Speaker 2: Jeremy says, I personally hope he focuses on the intermediate

1543
01:25:37,720 --> 01:25:39,800
Speaker 2: portion of the field instead of the high risk, high

1544
01:25:39,800 --> 01:25:42,320
Speaker 2: reward plays. I feel that would come with time, and

1545
01:25:42,400 --> 01:25:46,479
Speaker 2: that time should be now. And then finally, from Rich,

1546
01:25:47,000 --> 01:25:49,000
Speaker 2: I think he adds a little more Joe Burrow to

1547
01:25:49,080 --> 01:25:52,320
Speaker 2: his game, making the obvious easy throws and being more

1548
01:25:52,360 --> 01:25:55,080
Speaker 2: of a boxer with a lot more jabs, crosses and

1549
01:25:55,160 --> 01:25:58,400
Speaker 2: body blows. I e shorter, easier throws to set up

1550
01:25:58,439 --> 01:25:59,759
Speaker 2: the Haymaker shot plays.

1551
01:26:01,200 --> 01:26:02,200
Speaker 3: Rich makes a lot of sense.

1552
01:26:02,240 --> 01:26:05,759
Speaker 2: I'll sign up for that. A guy named Jello says,

1553
01:26:05,840 --> 01:26:07,840
Speaker 2: I have a feeling the short over the middle tight

1554
01:26:07,920 --> 01:26:10,519
Speaker 2: end throws are going to be fast and plentiful. Ball

1555
01:26:10,560 --> 01:26:13,519
Speaker 2: gets out quicker and it will open up the run game.

1556
01:26:13,560 --> 01:26:17,200
Speaker 2: I think that's why kincaid is here quite frankly, work

1557
01:26:17,240 --> 01:26:19,840
Speaker 2: the middle of the field more effectively, which was a

1558
01:26:19,880 --> 01:26:22,960
Speaker 2: problem with Cole Beasley no longer on the roster until

1559
01:26:22,960 --> 01:26:26,000
Speaker 2: the latter stages of the season last year. Break time

1560
01:26:26,040 --> 01:26:28,120
Speaker 2: here for us. We'll get some final thoughts on the

1561
01:26:28,160 --> 01:26:30,639
Speaker 2: tweetsheet when we return here. On one Bill's Live presented

1562
01:26:30,640 --> 01:26:33,639
Speaker 2: by Coalida Health. It's Buffalo Bills Radio.

1563
01:26:46,080 --> 01:26:46,400
Speaker 11: All Right.

1564
01:26:46,479 --> 01:26:49,639
Speaker 2: One final thought here from the OBL Friday fan mail

1565
01:26:49,720 --> 01:26:53,360
Speaker 2: bag from Bill's News Consolidated. They asked, Taron Johnson had

1566
01:26:53,400 --> 01:26:57,360
Speaker 2: the highest defensive snapcount last season. Knowing we prioritize player health,

1567
01:26:57,400 --> 01:26:58,880
Speaker 2: do you think it would be wise to work in

1568
01:26:58,920 --> 01:27:02,960
Speaker 2: another player in the rotation, such as Taylor Rap. I'll

1569
01:27:03,000 --> 01:27:07,160
Speaker 2: be in favor of that, and I think it's gonna

1570
01:27:07,160 --> 01:27:09,400
Speaker 2: be incumbent upon Sean McDermott to find ways to get

1571
01:27:09,439 --> 01:27:11,160
Speaker 2: Taylor Rap on the field. I think he's too good

1572
01:27:11,160 --> 01:27:13,679
Speaker 2: a player to not try to incorporate into this defense,

1573
01:27:13,720 --> 01:27:15,479
Speaker 2: even if he doesn't have a starting role because you

1574
01:27:15,520 --> 01:27:17,000
Speaker 2: have Poyer and Hide at the safety spot.

1575
01:27:17,360 --> 01:27:21,080
Speaker 3: Right. I'm not really one for taking a good player

1576
01:27:21,080 --> 01:27:23,760
Speaker 3: off the field when he's playing well. Right, But if

1577
01:27:23,760 --> 01:27:25,719
Speaker 3: for the case, in the case of a long season

1578
01:27:26,200 --> 01:27:29,599
Speaker 3: and to get a guy some reps, certainly they're gonna

1579
01:27:29,640 --> 01:27:31,880
Speaker 3: be experimenting with some of this during the preseason. You

1580
01:27:31,880 --> 01:27:33,519
Speaker 3: may be able to catch this in some of one

1581
01:27:33,560 --> 01:27:36,680
Speaker 3: of the three preseason games. Maybe get an idea the

1582
01:27:36,680 --> 01:27:39,760
Speaker 3: flavor of Sean McDermott's play calling. Certainly, if they start

1583
01:27:39,840 --> 01:27:42,400
Speaker 3: changing people in and out. They're gonna have to. But

1584
01:27:42,680 --> 01:27:46,479
Speaker 3: I'm talking about positions in and out, not just players.

1585
01:27:46,520 --> 01:27:48,280
Speaker 3: I mean, obviously we're going to see different players playing,

1586
01:27:48,520 --> 01:27:50,000
Speaker 3: but are they going to be out of that two

1587
01:27:50,040 --> 01:27:53,160
Speaker 3: linebacker five dB set all the time that they're in.

1588
01:27:53,400 --> 01:27:55,240
Speaker 3: Are they going to go into some three linebacker? Are

1589
01:27:55,240 --> 01:27:57,679
Speaker 3: they going to go into some six dbs that stuff

1590
01:27:57,720 --> 01:28:00,200
Speaker 3: like that. That's going to be really interesting to watch

1591
01:28:00,240 --> 01:28:02,800
Speaker 3: and see. We don't know the answers to that, but

1592
01:28:02,880 --> 01:28:05,519
Speaker 3: certainly when you start doing that, Taron Johnson's name is

1593
01:28:05,520 --> 01:28:09,720
Speaker 3: the first one up because you got to inside in

1594
01:28:09,760 --> 01:28:13,479
Speaker 3: the slot is different than playing outside, and you could

1595
01:28:13,840 --> 01:28:16,840
Speaker 3: see different kinds of athletes being pushed into that role,

1596
01:28:16,880 --> 01:28:18,960
Speaker 3: even if they're gonna zone it off rather than play

1597
01:28:19,000 --> 01:28:24,760
Speaker 3: man to man. So yes, it's part of one of

1598
01:28:24,840 --> 01:28:28,519
Speaker 3: the questions we don't know the answer to going into this.

1599
01:28:28,840 --> 01:28:31,720
Speaker 2: But knowing how much this team has played Nickel with

1600
01:28:31,800 --> 01:28:34,639
Speaker 2: those fives, with the same five guys all the time,

1601
01:28:36,280 --> 01:28:38,840
Speaker 2: teams have started to game plan against that. They'll pull

1602
01:28:38,880 --> 01:28:41,080
Speaker 2: a guard around and put them on Terran coming around

1603
01:28:41,120 --> 01:28:43,240
Speaker 2: the edge and blasting him out of there on a

1604
01:28:43,320 --> 01:28:47,920
Speaker 2: run play. And I believe that Sean McDermott always wanted

1605
01:28:48,000 --> 01:28:50,000
Speaker 2: to stay on the front foot of those things, with

1606
01:28:50,080 --> 01:28:53,040
Speaker 2: those matchups, and that scheming is going to want to

1607
01:28:53,080 --> 01:28:56,280
Speaker 2: have different looks for that to throw curveballs at the

1608
01:28:56,280 --> 01:28:59,360
Speaker 2: opposing offense to say, hey, you can't scheme it up

1609
01:28:59,360 --> 01:29:01,599
Speaker 2: with the anticity patient the Terran's gonna be sitting there

1610
01:29:01,600 --> 01:29:02,120
Speaker 2: all the time.

1611
01:29:02,200 --> 01:29:05,200
Speaker 3: That's right. I think that. I think there's a that's

1612
01:29:05,200 --> 01:29:08,120
Speaker 3: one of the most intriguing questions of this offseason, certainly

1613
01:29:08,200 --> 01:29:10,439
Speaker 3: Josh's statements about his play and how the team's going

1614
01:29:10,479 --> 01:29:13,479
Speaker 3: to bounce back from last year. Von Miller all of

1615
01:29:13,479 --> 01:29:15,960
Speaker 3: that is a question mark. But Sean McDermott and his

1616
01:29:16,560 --> 01:29:21,080
Speaker 3: defensive coordinatorship of this team is really gonna be fun

1617
01:29:21,120 --> 01:29:22,320
Speaker 3: to watch and interesting.

1618
01:29:22,920 --> 01:29:25,919
Speaker 2: Steve and I have a long weekend. No show Friday,

1619
01:29:26,160 --> 01:29:29,000
Speaker 2: no show Monday, but we'll be back on Tuesday when

1620
01:29:29,080 --> 01:29:31,559
Speaker 2: OTAs are back open. We'll have full coverage for you.

1621
01:29:31,640 --> 01:29:32,559
Speaker 2: Then enjoy the weekend.
