50
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 2: four this week, and a Titanic battle coming up next

51
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 2: week at home stops straight, all right, that is the

52
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 2: Toshiba game. Rewind Toshiba, the official copier company of the

53
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 2: Buffalo Bills. Welcome to a Buffalo Football Monday. Another victory Monday,

54
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 2: two in a row now for Buffalo. Chris Brown, Maddy

55
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 2: Glad with you here on One Bill's Live, the Monday

56
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 2: three hour edition. And obviously we want your biggest takeaways

57
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 2: from the thirty seven to three shellacking of the Commanders,

58
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 2: and I don't We'll talk about Miami in due course

59
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 2: here Maddy today, because I know people are already trying

60
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 2: to flip the page, but everybody's talking about Miami. Seventy

61
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 2: points yesterday, and it is something to behold. Nobody's done

62
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 2: it since nineteen sixty six. The Bills kind of stopped

63
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 2: themselves on offense yesterday. I think they could have put

64
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 2: a fifty burger on Washington easy yesterday, not seventy, but

65
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 2: they could have hung fifty on him pretty easily.

66
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 5: Maybe more, Yeah, I definitely think so. I mean, thirty

67
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 5: seven points is nothing to be upset at. I think

68
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 5: they could have done more as well. It was good

69
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 5: to see the defense continuously give the ball back to

70
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 5: the offense. I think that's what you're going to need

71
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,360
Speaker 5: to see a little bit in this game against the

72
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 5: Miami Dolphins. I know it's going to be tough, knowing

73
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:34,480
Speaker 5: how fast they operate on offense. I think it's going

74
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:36,839
Speaker 5: to be on the offense to try and match what's

75
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:40,160
Speaker 5: going on during Sunday's game against the Dolphins. I know

76
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 5: we'll get into that later in the show, But Chris,

77
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:43,840
Speaker 5: I wanted to ask you what was the vibe like

78
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,280
Speaker 5: of this game. We were watching it from the TV

79
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:48,840
Speaker 5: doing the postgame show here, but it looked like there

80
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 5: are a lot of Bills fans in the stands.

81
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 2: It was a classic Bills mafia takeover. I don't think

82
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 2: there's any question about that. It's we do the pregame

83
00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 2: roundtable on the radio side from eleven noon for one

84
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 2: o'clock games, and as we're you know, talking about the

85
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:07,919
Speaker 2: game and getting ready and whatever, that's when the gates

86
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 2: open and people start filing in and you know, we're

87
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 2: seeing blue shirts coming in. You know, the typical Bills

88
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 2: garb that you expect when Bills fans are showing up

89
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 2: and more and more on the far sideline, which is

90
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 2: where the Bills were, you know, lined up from where

91
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 2: we sat in the broadcast booth. More and more and

92
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 2: more and more blue blue jerseys, blue hoodies. Everything starts

93
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 2: coming right on time. Uh start filtering in, And I'm

94
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:40,040
Speaker 2: saying to myself, man, like the stands behind the Bill's

95
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 2: sideline is like seventy five percent Bills fans. It reminded

96
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:51,360
Speaker 2: me of a game against the Tennessee Titans in twenty nineteen.

97
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 2: The Bills won that game fourteen to seven, and the

98
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 2: Titans had to go to a silent count late in

99
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 2: that game as the Bill fans got into it, and

100
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:04,679
Speaker 2: it was similar. Washington did not go to a silent

101
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 2: count yesterday, but there were some third downs late in

102
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:11,920
Speaker 2: that game where it did not feel like a home

103
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:15,239
Speaker 2: game for Washington at all. It was kind of funny

104
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:18,480
Speaker 2: because Terrell Bernard was covering his ear holes on a

105
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,799
Speaker 2: couple of play calls late in that game because because

106
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 2: his fans on the road were getting loud to try

107
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 2: to make life difficult for the Washington offense. So yeah,

108
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 2: then and once we saw the way the game was going.

109
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:37,040
Speaker 2: It was a party like atmosphere. I heard Jeremy this

110
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:39,719
Speaker 2: morning on the morning show on WGR here in Buffalo,

111
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:43,680
Speaker 2: essentially saying that it was one of those party games

112
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:46,720
Speaker 2: where you know how it's going to end, there's no

113
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 2: threat of being disappointed, and you can just relax and

114
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 2: enjoy the second half. And that's what it was for

115
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:55,480
Speaker 2: most of the people in attendance, And kudos to them

116
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 2: for brave in the weather, because it was it was

117
00:06:58,040 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 2: a day for a duck. For lack of a bet.

118
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 2: I mean, just on and off rain through the first

119
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 2: three quarters of the game, and then it finally kind

120
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 2: of moved out of the area. And you could tell

121
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 2: because we're watching the game. Fortunately we're undercover and you're

122
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 2: seeing you see the pontros go up and the hoods

123
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 2: go up, and then they come down again and then

124
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 2: they got it's like okay, it's raining again. And it

125
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 2: was just on and off for the first three quarters

126
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 2: of the game.

127
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 9: It was rough.

128
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 2: I mean, it wasn't pouring, but it was just enough

129
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 2: to be annoying, you know what I mean, if you're

130
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 2: a fan.

131
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 5: Trying to take any I was wondering how much rain

132
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 5: came down, because it was honestly, at least for me,

133
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 5: it was hard to see on the game broadcast how

134
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 5: much it was raining or just how heavy the rain

135
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 5: was throughout the entire game. But good to hear that

136
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 5: it was a party for Bill's Mafia, I know. Jordan

137
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 5: Phillips commented about that after the game, saying that Bill's

138
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 5: Mafia was a huge part in the victory, and he

139
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 5: said that he could tell that the commanders were kind

140
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 5: of looking around saying like, this is this an away

141
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 5: game for us because there were so many Bills fans

142
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 5: in the stands.

143
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's strange because I don't get the sense that

144
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 2: NFC East fans travel in great numbers, if you know

145
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 2: what I mean, which is which you know, if you're

146
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 2: a Bills fan thinking about that, you're like, why wouldn't

147
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 2: you Like Giants fans can take the train to Philly

148
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 2: to go to a game. You just hop on the train,

149
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 2: two hours, you're there, and you could do the same

150
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:20,560
Speaker 2: thing from Philly to Washington. I mean, Dallas is the

151
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 2: only big trip that they've gotten that whole division, and

152
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 2: at least from the games that I've seen on television

153
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 2: over the years, there aren't overwhelming numbers of visiting fans

154
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 2: in that division, so maybe that's why it was so

155
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:36,440
Speaker 2: foreign to the Washington players. You know, it's like, hey,

156
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:38,319
Speaker 2: this is a home game, what the hell's going on here?

157
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 2: Like they were, Yeah, there were some people that were

158
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 2: a little surprised by the atmosphere and it was the

159
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 2: funniest thing. I mentioned it on the air towards the

160
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 2: end of the game. It was it was kind of

161
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 2: heartwarming to see it. So we're in a break and

162
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:55,439
Speaker 2: the Bills are up thirty to three. I think it

163
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 2: was right after Epinez has picked six and there is

164
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:03,080
Speaker 2: a dad and his son. The dad's you know, young father,

165
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:07,440
Speaker 2: his son's maybe five, possibly six. He's got an Allen

166
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 2: jersey on. His dad's got a Digs jersey on, and

167
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:13,840
Speaker 2: they're just in the aisle during the break just dancing.

168
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 2: They're just dancing together, just like this is awesome. They're

169
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:20,040
Speaker 2: just grooving around and everything. And I think Eric shot

170
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:21,959
Speaker 2: it on his phone, might have put it up on Instagram,

171
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,079
Speaker 2: I don't know, but it was just like, look at this,

172
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 2: this is this is what it's all about right here.

173
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:30,079
Speaker 2: It was fantastic. So yeah, for a road game, it was.

174
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:32,559
Speaker 2: It was definitely a party atmosphere for Bills fans and

175
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:35,199
Speaker 2: I was happy to see it. And I'm sure everybody

176
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 2: back home, you know, watching or listening to the game,

177
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:41,560
Speaker 2: felt the same way. And it was a defensive performance

178
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:45,840
Speaker 2: like to end all defensive performances. I realized, we're only

179
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 2: in week three here, Maddie, but the crooked numbers the

180
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 2: Bills put up in just about every defensive statistical category

181
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 2: you could think of, takeaways, I INT's, fumble recoveries, force fumbles, sacks,

182
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:03,040
Speaker 2: qb hits, Q pressures, passes broken up. I mean, it

183
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 2: was just an endless string of plays being made. And Maddie,

184
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 2: this is what we talked about a lot in the

185
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 2: offseason coming into the regular season here in terms of

186
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 2: what this defense was going to look like under Sean

187
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 2: McDermott as the play caller, and we all anticipated it

188
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 2: might be a little more aggressive and it might be

189
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 2: a little bit more exotic, which can make life difficult

190
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 2: for opposing quarterbacks, especially young and inexperienced ones like Sam Hall.

191
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 2: And that's exactly what we saw yesterday.

192
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, when you look at Sean mcderertt's stats

193
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 5: against quarterbacks, who have five or less career starts. I mean,

194
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:45,600
Speaker 5: the quarterbacks are zero to eight against Sean McDermott since

195
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 5: twenty seventeen, since he became the Bills head coach, and

196
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 5: they've combined for so many interceptions, a little passer rating

197
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 5: in the forties, and have only had like three passing

198
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 5: touchdowns in eight games.

199
00:10:57,960 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, three touchdowns, so.

200
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 5: Wild wild. He knows how to scheme up against younger quarterbacks.

201
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 5: And I think this is the game that the Bill's

202
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 5: defense needed to have going into a game that they're

203
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:12,719
Speaker 5: going to have against the Dolphins, because we know it's

204
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:16,280
Speaker 5: going to be tough against the fastest offense in the NFL,

205
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 5: but just focusing on the defense and what they were

206
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 5: able to do against the Commanders. I also think it's

207
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:24,640
Speaker 5: a confidence booster for a lot of players on this defense,

208
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 5: for guys like Terrell Bernard and aj Epanessa, Trey White,

209
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 5: and Micah Hyde being able to be involved in some

210
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:34,559
Speaker 5: of those big splash plays on defense. To have that

211
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 5: already in your bag in Week three, The confidence that

212
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 5: that must give you going forward in the season. For

213
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 5: guys who have worked hard to get back to the field,

214
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 5: like Mike Hide and Trey White, to have an interception

215
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 5: for a guy like aj Epanessa who's been working and

216
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 5: working and working, and you could see a little bit

217
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 5: of that in training camp, but then to see it

218
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 5: on the field yesterday, to see that interception that he

219
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 5: returned for a touchdown, to see his hands get up

220
00:11:57,800 --> 00:11:59,559
Speaker 5: in the passing line to knock a pass down. And

221
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:02,400
Speaker 5: then and then for Trell Bernard, a guy who has

222
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:05,439
Speaker 5: had to work to earn a starting position, who's a

223
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 5: younger player wearing that green dot, there's a lot of

224
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:11,480
Speaker 5: responsibilities that go into that. And to have the type

225
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:15,320
Speaker 5: of game that he had, leading the team in tackles too, sacks,

226
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 5: an interception, his second straight game with an interception, and

227
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 5: then recovering a fumble. I mean, that's about as much

228
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:26,280
Speaker 5: as you can do in one game as a defensive player,

229
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 5: and he was all over the place. Anytime you were

230
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 5: watching this team on defense, you saw the number forty

231
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:36,839
Speaker 5: three pop up time and time again. And I just

232
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:39,560
Speaker 5: go back to the confidence it's got to give these guys,

233
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:41,679
Speaker 5: and to do it all without von Miller, I think

234
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:44,600
Speaker 5: is huge. To do all of this without Von Miller

235
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 5: part of the lineup. The Bills are going to get

236
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 5: him back soon enough. But to be able to put

237
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 5: some games like this together without one of your best

238
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 5: playmakers on defense says a lot about this defense going forward.

239
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:57,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I realize it's very early. We're only three

240
00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 2: games in here, but Terrell Bernard's splash playability is off

241
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 2: the charts right now. And maybe it drifts back to

242
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 2: the mean a little bit playing against better competition than

243
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 2: maybe the Raiders or the Commanders, but you can't blame

244
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:16,320
Speaker 2: him or anybody else on the defense for who they

245
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 2: have to play and who's on their schedule. You gotta

246
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:19,920
Speaker 2: play who's in front of you. This was the next

247
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 2: team in front of you, and you dominated, and maybe

248
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 2: you should have dominated because you are that much better

249
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:27,679
Speaker 2: than the Commanders, but kudos to them they did. But

250
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:31,040
Speaker 2: it was hard not to notice the comments on social

251
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:34,679
Speaker 2: media yesterday. And this is not meant as disrespect to

252
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:38,959
Speaker 2: Tremaine Edmonds, but we heard coach McDermott talk about it

253
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 2: last year. We need more, and Leslie Fraser said it

254
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 2: last year too, we need more splash plays on defense,

255
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:49,960
Speaker 2: and Tremaine Edmonds, for whatever reason, had trouble delivering those

256
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 2: on a regular basis. Doesn't mean, he's not a good player,

257
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:59,960
Speaker 2: but I think we see the difference between an instinctive

258
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 2: player that is an athlete who can cover and Tremaine

259
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 2: was like a freakazoid elite physical player, but I don't

260
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 2: know if his instincts matched his physical abilities, and I

261
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 2: think that's what robbed him of making more instinctive splash

262
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 2: type plays by trusting his gut and triggering or firing

263
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 2: and getting to a spot at the right time to

264
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 2: make a play like that. Bernard, the scouting report on

265
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 2: him coming out of college at Baylor was just that

266
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 2: super instinctive reads it fast, gets to the spot before

267
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 2: anybody else. And we've witnessed that through the first three games.

268
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:43,560
Speaker 2: And oh, by the way, Maddie, this is a guy

269
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:47,640
Speaker 2: that was that had no preseason run him to the

270
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 2: regular season, didn't get a preseason snap, got dropped in

271
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:54,160
Speaker 2: on Monday night in Week one and said go get them,

272
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 2: you know. And I think there were a couple of

273
00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 2: times in the Week one game against the Jets, and

274
00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 2: understandably so, where Bernard wasn't one hundred percent certain about

275
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 2: what he was looking at. And there was an adjustment

276
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 2: to the speed element as well, because as we said

277
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:11,880
Speaker 2: he didn't have a game snap of any kind after

278
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 2: training camp ended at Saint John Fisher. But now here

279
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:18,360
Speaker 2: in week three, the dude is more than up to speed.

280
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 2: He is owning it and killing it right now for

281
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:26,600
Speaker 2: this team. And if you have two splash play linebackers

282
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 2: like this with Milano and Bernard, holy cow, like you're

283
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:35,000
Speaker 2: gonna you're gonna make life really difficult for teams at

284
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:36,280
Speaker 2: the second level of your defense.

285
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:38,960
Speaker 5: That's what I was talking about last night during our

286
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 5: postgame show with Chris Trapasso from CBS Sports. I was

287
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:45,360
Speaker 5: talking about, all right, now, you have Terrell Bernard, who's

288
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:48,240
Speaker 5: shown what he's capable of doing. You have Matt Milano,

289
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 5: who's approven linebacker, one of the best in the NFL,

290
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 5: super underrated. But when you pair these two together and

291
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:56,840
Speaker 5: you think about what you have in these two if

292
00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 5: they continue to play the way that they've played already

293
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:03,160
Speaker 5: to start the season, and like you're looking, you're looking

294
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:06,040
Speaker 5: really great. And Sean McDermott's looking good as the defensive

295
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 5: coordinator and the head coach of this defense. And drafting

296
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 5: Trel Bernard in twenty twenty two last season in the

297
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 5: third round of the draft, I think people, you know,

298
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 5: were wondering, all right, he's got some splash plays like

299
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:21,520
Speaker 5: you talked about, but where's the future with him? How

300
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:23,400
Speaker 5: is this all going to pan out for the Bills?

301
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:26,520
Speaker 5: And I don't know if anybody could have predicted it perfectly.

302
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:28,480
Speaker 5: I know some people thought, okay, he could be the

303
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:31,880
Speaker 5: starting linebacker down the road for the Bills. But the

304
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:35,280
Speaker 5: scouting department, the scouting department knows what they're doing. They

305
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 5: know what to look for in terms of adding the

306
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 5: right guys to the roster, the guys that fit in

307
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:43,920
Speaker 5: the roster, and they they probably knew, Hey, Matt Milano

308
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:46,240
Speaker 5: and Trel Bernard could look really good together on the

309
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:49,040
Speaker 5: field based on what they both add to this defense,

310
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 5: based on their traits and their physicality and their makeup.

311
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 5: And we got to see that yesterday.

312
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 2: Their skill sets are very similar and they play the

313
00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 2: same way. They play an instinctive brand of football. And

314
00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 2: you see what a difference instincts can make. I mean,

315
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:06,440
Speaker 2: when you think about Sean McDermott when he was a

316
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:11,199
Speaker 2: defensive coordinator in Carolina, he had three linebackers that played instinctively.

317
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 2: He had Luke Heighley, Shaq Thompson and Thomas Davis. All

318
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:21,480
Speaker 2: three of those guys were instinctive, anticipatory, playmaking type linebackers.

319
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:25,200
Speaker 2: So it's no surprise that they saw to Rell Bernard

320
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:28,000
Speaker 2: as an attractive asset in the draft two years ago.

321
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:30,840
Speaker 2: And fast forward to two years and here we are.

322
00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:33,639
Speaker 2: You've got Bernard and Milano right in the middle of

323
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 2: that defense and they are causing havoc for opposing offenses.

324
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 2: Now that being said, the task goes up a couple

325
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:44,399
Speaker 2: of notches in weight class this week, you know, with

326
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:47,440
Speaker 2: Miami rolling in here to town. But before we dive

327
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:49,640
Speaker 2: into that, since we've got three hours today, we want

328
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:53,840
Speaker 2: your main takeaways from the Bill's latest performance in Washington,

329
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:56,920
Speaker 2: the thirty seven to three win over the Commanders eighth

330
00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:00,200
Speaker 2: three five point fifty one eight eight five fifty two

331
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:01,840
Speaker 2: five pint fifty the number to get on board. We

332
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:03,639
Speaker 2: have open lines for you there, or you can hit

333
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:06,000
Speaker 2: us up on the tweets sheet. Add one Bill's Live

334
00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:08,440
Speaker 2: if you don't have time to lob a phone call

335
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:10,840
Speaker 2: into us. Just to kind of put some of the

336
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:16,600
Speaker 2: Bill's pass pressure in perspective. ESPN dot COM's John Kyme,

337
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:19,840
Speaker 2: who covers the Commanders down there in Washington said the

338
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:24,280
Speaker 2: ability by the opposing defense to pressure with just four

339
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:29,240
Speaker 2: and cover with seven has led to issues for Washington's offense.

340
00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:33,720
Speaker 2: Thus far this season, Sam Howell has faced only nineteen

341
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 2: pass rushes of five or more rushers quote unquote blitz,

342
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:43,680
Speaker 2: second fewest to Patrick Mahomes. Against the seventy five fore

343
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:47,800
Speaker 2: man rushes that Howell has faced this season, all five

344
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:50,880
Speaker 2: of his interceptions have come on a four man rush,

345
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:55,480
Speaker 2: and he's been sacked fourteen times on four man rushes.

346
00:18:55,880 --> 00:19:00,640
Speaker 2: His QBR is twenty four point two, which ranks twenty

347
00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 2: ninth in the league. Some of you probably already know

348
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:09,200
Speaker 2: this already. The Bills became the first team since Dallas,

349
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:12,840
Speaker 2: which had twelve sacks and four interceptions back in nineteen

350
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 2: eighty five, with nine sacks and four interceptions in a

351
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:22,800
Speaker 2: single game. That's ultra productive. That's not just productive. That's

352
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:25,080
Speaker 2: ultra productive. And there were a lot of other times

353
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:30,080
Speaker 2: when Howell was getting hit and I saw this making

354
00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:33,399
Speaker 2: its way around the social media circles too, Maddie. We

355
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:37,760
Speaker 2: talked about it on this show back in June, Brandon

356
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:42,639
Speaker 2: Bean getting Poona Ford and Leonard Floyd in May and

357
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:46,440
Speaker 2: June of the free agent season. I called it a coup.

358
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 2: Now they sit Poonafod down yesterday as a healthy and

359
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:55,040
Speaker 2: active to get an extra pass rusher up in Kingsley Jonathan,

360
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:57,920
Speaker 2: and he played a role in the pass rush yesterday,

361
00:19:58,119 --> 00:19:59,960
Speaker 2: had one QB hit, didn't get a ton of snaw,

362
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:03,920
Speaker 2: certainly not as many as the other guys. But my word,

363
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 2: like Leonard Floyd through the first three weeks, I mean

364
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:09,679
Speaker 2: he leads the team with three and a half sacks,

365
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:13,960
Speaker 2: and even beyond the sex, the guy is just a

366
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:17,240
Speaker 2: menacing presence out there, even when he doesn't get home.

367
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:20,919
Speaker 2: He's long like Greg Russeau as he puts his arms up,

368
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:25,240
Speaker 2: and I'm telling you this week against Tua, Rousseau and Floyd,

369
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:28,600
Speaker 2: as long limbed players, getting their hands up could prove

370
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:30,439
Speaker 2: to be very valuable against them.

371
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:33,040
Speaker 5: And Aja Ebnessa talked about it after the game. I

372
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:35,360
Speaker 5: believe in his press conference how he likes to get

373
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:38,560
Speaker 5: his hands up against shorter quarterbacks and that's the reason

374
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:40,440
Speaker 5: why he did it against Sam Howell. And I know

375
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 5: you have to time it well as a defensive end.

376
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:45,159
Speaker 5: If you're gonna put your hands up, you have to

377
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 5: know that that pass is coming, is going to be

378
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 5: in your lane that you're able to slide into or

379
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:52,560
Speaker 5: already in. And he said, you know, that's what we

380
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:55,440
Speaker 5: practice in practice, and we've seen it out of him before.

381
00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:57,840
Speaker 5: We've seen him bat those passes down, and I would

382
00:20:57,840 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 5: expect that's what they're going to be looking forward to

383
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 5: in Week four against the Dolphins. And with what Leonard

384
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:07,600
Speaker 5: Floyd has done so far, I just think about how

385
00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:11,520
Speaker 5: effective the Bill's defensive line has been in rotating their

386
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:16,280
Speaker 5: defensive lineman and bringing fresh legs onto the field. Defensively,

387
00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:20,240
Speaker 5: a guy Leonard Floyd, who has played quite some time

388
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:23,720
Speaker 5: in the NFL, an older player compared to some guys

389
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:27,359
Speaker 5: like a Japanessa and Ed Oliver and some of the

390
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:30,320
Speaker 5: younger defensive linemen. But the ability that you have when

391
00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 5: you add guys to your defensive line like poona forward

392
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:37,760
Speaker 5: like Leonard Floyd, younger players like Kingsley Jonathan who's newer

393
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:39,960
Speaker 5: to this team, and you're able to rotate them in

394
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:44,720
Speaker 5: play in, play out or series after a series. You

395
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 5: get so much more out of guys who have fresh

396
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:50,920
Speaker 5: legs coming in, pressuring the quarterback, getting onto the offensive

397
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:53,760
Speaker 5: line to where you're wearing down the offense by the

398
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:55,840
Speaker 5: end of the game, by the second half of the game,

399
00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 5: with the ability that you have to put that type

400
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:01,520
Speaker 5: of pressure on that offense. And I would expect the

401
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:04,640
Speaker 5: same out of this group going into this week's game

402
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:07,480
Speaker 5: against Miami Dolphins. Yes, it's gonna be harder. Yes, it's

403
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:10,879
Speaker 5: a faster offense. Yes, Tua gets the ball out faster

404
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:13,879
Speaker 5: than any other quarterback in the NFL. He's only been

405
00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:16,680
Speaker 5: sacked once so far, and I know you said he's

406
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:19,159
Speaker 5: only been hit a few times. So they do have

407
00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 5: a tall test and they do have their work cut

408
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:24,479
Speaker 5: out for them this week in practices. But man, oh man,

409
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:27,359
Speaker 5: to see what they've been able to do this so

410
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:33,240
Speaker 5: far this season, especially in yesterday's game, I would expect

411
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:35,680
Speaker 5: to see some of the same against the Dolphins.

412
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:38,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought coach mcdermot's comments after the game, we're

413
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:42,280
Speaker 2: pretty spot on in terms of how the coverage helped

414
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:46,399
Speaker 2: the pass rush. Like, Howell had a habit of locking

415
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:49,720
Speaker 2: on to his first read, and so the Bills took

416
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:52,359
Speaker 2: that first read away in coverage a lot of the time,

417
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:55,560
Speaker 2: and he would wait an extra half second for somehow

418
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:58,479
Speaker 2: that first read to get open. Now he's waited too

419
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:01,600
Speaker 2: long he's missed the window for his second progression, the

420
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:04,000
Speaker 2: third guy's not open, and now he's on the ground.

421
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:09,119
Speaker 2: I think coverage is really gonna have to help the

422
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:12,960
Speaker 2: pass rush this coming week against Miami, because, as we

423
00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:18,200
Speaker 2: know through three games, Tua has the quickest release in

424
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:20,480
Speaker 2: the league right now. I think it's under two point

425
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 2: five seconds on average, and so there isn't usein bolt

426
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:29,399
Speaker 2: couldn't come off the edge and get there in less

427
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:32,840
Speaker 2: than two and a half seconds come in free. So

428
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:35,159
Speaker 2: what you have to do is you have to design

429
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:38,399
Speaker 2: your coverage scheme in such a way that you're taking

430
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:41,480
Speaker 2: away the easy button throws for Tua who gets it

431
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:45,000
Speaker 2: out so quickly. And they added another wrinkle to that

432
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:50,560
Speaker 2: quick release passing game yesterday against Denver. They have the

433
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:54,359
Speaker 2: shovel pass now that they're using. They offset a back

434
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 2: or they bring a receiver underneath the formation, and at

435
00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:00,920
Speaker 2: the snap, Tua takes two stays back as if he's

436
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:03,240
Speaker 2: going to pass, and then just throws a shovel pass

437
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:05,240
Speaker 2: to a guy right in front of him. We often

438
00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:07,680
Speaker 2: see Kansas City run that down at the goal line.

439
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:11,320
Speaker 2: The Dolphins ran that the in the high to low

440
00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:14,680
Speaker 2: red zone yesterday scored a touchdown off one of them.

441
00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:17,560
Speaker 2: But that's another example of a quick release where even

442
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:20,720
Speaker 2: coverage can't help you. So it always seems like Mike

443
00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:24,360
Speaker 2: McDaniel's got an extra answer each successive week. So it's

444
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 2: really going to be a meeting of the minds this

445
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:31,320
Speaker 2: week with regard to that. And speaking of that, let's

446
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:35,119
Speaker 2: go around the NFL presented by Kalida Health, the official

447
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:38,960
Speaker 2: healthcare system of the Buffalo Bills. So the Miami Dolphins says,

448
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:41,399
Speaker 2: we know seven hundred and twenty six total yards of

449
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:45,719
Speaker 2: offense in a seventy to twenty win over Denver, who

450
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:47,720
Speaker 2: by most accounts, and I'll say this, I have not

451
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:49,960
Speaker 2: seen the game. I'll have to watch it this week.

452
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:52,840
Speaker 2: Obviously you get ready for this weekend's game. But a

453
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:56,440
Speaker 2: lot of people had the opinion that Denver just gave

454
00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:59,600
Speaker 2: up by the third quarter, like laid down, which is

455
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:01,640
Speaker 2: not a good look when you have a new head

456
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:05,360
Speaker 2: coach and it's game three. But I guess when you're

457
00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:09,600
Speaker 2: up to fifty five sixty three points, it's going to

458
00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:14,080
Speaker 2: demoralize any opponent. But there's that no look shovel pass

459
00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:17,560
Speaker 2: our MSG viewers they're seeing right now it's just another

460
00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:21,080
Speaker 2: element and wrinkle in this offense. They also ran the

461
00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:24,480
Speaker 2: ball exceptionally well. I'm encouraged by Buffalo's run defense. I

462
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:27,560
Speaker 2: don't know that Miami is gonna have quite that success.

463
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:31,160
Speaker 2: But man, the motion, the pre snap motion by Miami

464
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:35,960
Speaker 2: is dizzying Maddie with all the different moving parts. And

465
00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 2: because of the speed they put on the field, you

466
00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:41,200
Speaker 2: have to respect every moving part that's out there. So

467
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:43,560
Speaker 2: now you got to shuttle this way, you cheat two

468
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:45,960
Speaker 2: steps this way, and then they run something right through

469
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,880
Speaker 2: the space you just vacated. And that's what makes them

470
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:52,520
Speaker 2: so hard to defend. But they're the second team in

471
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:55,639
Speaker 2: NFL history to record at least seven hundred yards a

472
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:58,360
Speaker 2: total offense in a single game. The only other team

473
00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:00,680
Speaker 2: in NFL history that had more yards than them were

474
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:04,600
Speaker 2: the nineteen fifty one Rams. We're going back to like

475
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:07,560
Speaker 2: the crazy legs hirsh days. That's how far back in

476
00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:12,280
Speaker 2: football history we're going here. Dolphins one hundred and thirty

477
00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:18,680
Speaker 2: points scored so far this season is second only to

478
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:21,240
Speaker 2: the sixty eight Dallas Cowboys, who had one hundred and

479
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:24,800
Speaker 2: thirty two through their first three games. So a lot

480
00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:29,720
Speaker 2: of records set there by the Dolphins. I will mention

481
00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:33,440
Speaker 2: this though the Bills in there. So in their last

482
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:37,040
Speaker 2: five games, the last five games, so the last two

483
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:40,000
Speaker 2: of the regular season last year, the first three this year,

484
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:42,840
Speaker 2: the Miami Dolphins have one hundred and sixty two points.

485
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:46,640
Speaker 2: The Bills have one hundred and sixty one. Just thought

486
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:51,120
Speaker 2: i'd put that out there, so just something to chew on. Look,

487
00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:54,800
Speaker 2: a seventy burger is an eyebrow raising event, there is

488
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:58,159
Speaker 2: no doubt about it. And all due respect to Miami

489
00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:01,920
Speaker 2: and what they were able to do yesterday, but I'm

490
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:04,280
Speaker 2: really hoping that's a one week wonder. Not that they

491
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:08,000
Speaker 2: didn't have any trouble scoring over thirty in Week one

492
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:11,520
Speaker 2: against the Chargers, whose defense is hmm a little average.

493
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:14,439
Speaker 2: Belichick game a tough time last week up in New England.

494
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:17,400
Speaker 2: So maybe there's something that can be pulled from there

495
00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:19,400
Speaker 2: that the Bills can use defensively this week.

496
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:22,120
Speaker 5: We'll see, yeah, exactly. And the fact that they were

497
00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:24,000
Speaker 5: able to do it on the ground too, I think

498
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:27,240
Speaker 5: says a lot about this Dolphins offense. Three hundred and

499
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:32,640
Speaker 5: fifty rushing yards out of their ground game. That's insane

500
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:35,000
Speaker 5: that they were able to put that number together devon

501
00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:38,800
Speaker 5: a chain, two hundred and three rushing yards like what

502
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:43,880
Speaker 5: averaged eleven point three yards per carry. This Bill's team,

503
00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:46,800
Speaker 5: this Bill's defense, they know about it. They're going to

504
00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:49,920
Speaker 5: be drilling it in practice this week and learning ways

505
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:52,919
Speaker 5: to slow down this offense, because I don't know if

506
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:55,960
Speaker 5: you can entirely stop the offense. You have to figure

507
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:59,159
Speaker 5: out ways to slow down to and the guys that

508
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:01,360
Speaker 5: he can throw to. I mean, Jaalen Waddle wasn't even

509
00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:02,960
Speaker 5: a part of the game playing yesterday.

510
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:05,680
Speaker 2: He didn't even play out with a concussion.

511
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:08,480
Speaker 5: But when looking at how fast Tua gets it out,

512
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:12,879
Speaker 5: it's two point three six seconds. He's getting it getting

513
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:15,479
Speaker 5: the ball out. Average time to throw first in the NFL.

514
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:19,879
Speaker 5: Your next person next to Tua, just to compare, is

515
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:23,159
Speaker 5: Joe Burrow average time to throw two point four to

516
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:26,320
Speaker 5: nine seconds, and then Josh Allen is kind of the

517
00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:30,520
Speaker 5: middle of the pack at two point nine to six seconds.

518
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:32,280
Speaker 2: And that's He's never going to be high in that

519
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:34,920
Speaker 2: category just because of the way he extends plays. His

520
00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:37,280
Speaker 2: average is never going to be down there because he

521
00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:39,680
Speaker 2: can do more things off script than Tua, who's a

522
00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:42,400
Speaker 2: strict pocket guy and Burrow, who for the most part

523
00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:45,320
Speaker 2: is a true pocket guy as well elsewhere in the

524
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:49,320
Speaker 2: AFC East. The Jets lose to the Patriots for the

525
00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:55,400
Speaker 2: fifteenth consecutive time. Zach Wilson looks lost. The offensive line

526
00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:58,240
Speaker 2: was a mess. They had to put Elijah Vera Tucker

527
00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:01,080
Speaker 2: out at right tackle. They had to flip Mackay Beckton

528
00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:03,560
Speaker 2: from right tackle to left tackle because Dwayne Brown went

529
00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:08,440
Speaker 2: on ir with a hip injury. The Jets o line

530
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:12,640
Speaker 2: Maddie last in the league in pass block win rate

531
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:17,840
Speaker 2: and twenty six in run block win rate. And despite that,

532
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:21,520
Speaker 2: on the few plays where the opposing defense failed to

533
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:26,720
Speaker 2: get a pass rush, Wilson has the lowest QBR and

534
00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:30,600
Speaker 2: the lowest completion rate in the NFL out of thirty

535
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:36,960
Speaker 2: five qualified quarterbacks. When the defense gets no pass rush,

536
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:45,360
Speaker 2: his QBR is seven point six. His completion percentage fifty

537
00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:50,280
Speaker 2: two percent. Man yuck oh man. Just for reference, the

538
00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:54,280
Speaker 2: average QBR is seventy point three. His QBR when there's

539
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:59,160
Speaker 2: no pressure seven point six. I just don't think he

540
00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:01,920
Speaker 2: knows what he's likening looking at. He either doesn't trust

541
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:04,959
Speaker 2: it or he has zero clue what he's looking at.

542
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:10,120
Speaker 2: And even Nathaniel Hackett can't come up with anything to

543
00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:13,800
Speaker 2: save him. The most troubling news for Jets fans is

544
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:17,120
Speaker 2: after the game, head coach Robert sala is a I'm

545
00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:20,240
Speaker 2: sure you saw this. He's asked about Zach Wilson. Can

546
00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:22,440
Speaker 2: you keep putting them out there? Do you have a

547
00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:27,360
Speaker 2: better option? Tim Boyle's their backup quarterback, and sala kind

548
00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:30,240
Speaker 2: of dismissed it out of hand. He's fine, he gives

549
00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:32,600
Speaker 2: us our best chance to win. Now, look when you

550
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:35,560
Speaker 2: only have Tim Boyle on your roster, Okay, I guess

551
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:41,120
Speaker 2: you can make that argument to some extent, but you

552
00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:43,400
Speaker 2: may have to get somebody else in there. There's veteran

553
00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:47,200
Speaker 2: quarterbacks out there that even if they've got to be

554
00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:49,760
Speaker 2: a quick study, you can get on the field. I

555
00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:53,840
Speaker 2: would like to think in the next three weeks to

556
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:56,800
Speaker 2: try to at least salvage your season, because I'm gonna

557
00:30:56,800 --> 00:31:00,320
Speaker 2: tell you this, Maddie. While the Aaron Rodgers acquisition was great,

558
00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:05,840
Speaker 2: there was no backup plan number one number two. They

559
00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:10,200
Speaker 2: went into the season believing an offensive tackle who hadn't

560
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:12,200
Speaker 2: played in two years would be great on the right

561
00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:15,000
Speaker 2: side to start, and a thirty nine year old who

562
00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:17,760
Speaker 2: granted has five Pro Bowls on his resume, but couldn't

563
00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:21,240
Speaker 2: stay healthy, was going to play seventeen games at left tackle.

564
00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:25,640
Speaker 2: I mean that was foolhardy. Yes, and I'm wondering. Despite

565
00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:28,320
Speaker 2: all the strides this roster has made in terms of

566
00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:32,120
Speaker 2: draft choice acquisition, which has been strong by Joe Douglas,

567
00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:36,040
Speaker 2: this is year three, and I know they have the

568
00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:40,880
Speaker 2: giant excuse of rogers, got hurt, were screwed. But man,

569
00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:44,000
Speaker 2: if this goes really bad and really the wrong way,

570
00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:48,520
Speaker 2: it's gonna get nasty there in New York. The media

571
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:52,160
Speaker 2: is going to be threatening job security for both of

572
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:54,320
Speaker 2: those men if it goes sideways. And it looks like

573
00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:55,479
Speaker 2: it's already headed that way. Now.

574
00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:58,640
Speaker 5: Their next three games Chiefs Broncos.

575
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:00,920
Speaker 2: Eagles might beat the Broncos.

576
00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:04,360
Speaker 5: You got one in there, but not the Chiefs in

577
00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:04,880
Speaker 5: the Eagles.

578
00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:07,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, their first six games, I know we looked at that. Yeah,

579
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:11,560
Speaker 2: the first six games are a gauntlet for them. Boo. Yeah,

580
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:15,120
Speaker 2: it's it's probably gonna get worse. It's gonna get worse.

581
00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:16,400
Speaker 2: I hate to say it. All right, we have to

582
00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:18,760
Speaker 2: take a break. When we come back, we're taking your

583
00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:21,320
Speaker 2: phone calls. Eight oh three oh five point fifty one

Speaker 2: the week three whitewash of the Washington Commanders, your phone

587
00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:33,760

588
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:50,440
Speaker 2: by Colida Health, It's Buffalo Bills Radio. All right, welcome

589
00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:52,720
Speaker 2: back to the One Bill's Live. This week's Player of

592
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:03,360
Speaker 2: day well to know in surprise it is Terrell Bernard

593
00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:07,240
Speaker 2: seven tackles, which led the team to for lost two sacks,

594
00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:11,960
Speaker 2: an interception and to fumble recovery. Might as well start

595
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:14,440
Speaker 2: calling him Splash Bernard with the way we're going here,

596
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:18,600
Speaker 2: has really just turned in a phenomenal first three games

597
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:21,440
Speaker 2: as the starting middle linebacker, and Bill's fans are certainly

598
00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:25,080
Speaker 2: hoping that continues against the big division matchup against Miami

599
00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:28,640
Speaker 2: this week. We do have phone callers at ATO three

600

Speaker 2: on board here as we're looking for your main takeaways

605
00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:44,000
Speaker 2: from the Week three victory. Maybe you think the Bills

606
00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:47,240
Speaker 2: officially have their new starting middle linebacker. Maybe you feel

607
00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:51,480
Speaker 2: the pass rush is unstoppable. Maybe you have some things

608
00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:53,320
Speaker 2: that you wanted to point out on the offensive side

609
00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:56,000
Speaker 2: of the ball. You let us know at eighth threeh

610
00:33:56,240 --> 00:34:02,040
Speaker 2: five point fifty. Leading us off today is Pat in Clarence. Pat,

611
00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:03,600
Speaker 2: what do you got for us here? On One Bill's Live.

612
00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:08,239
Speaker 10: Hey Chris Saint Maddy, Hey, listen, I was just listening

613
00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:12,800
Speaker 10: to your talk about Zach Wilson and it's kind of

614
00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:17,280
Speaker 10: like disturbing to me in the fact that Zack Wilson

615
00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:21,440
Speaker 10: has beat the Bills twice, once last year at once

616
00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:26,200
Speaker 10: this year. I mean, for his dire is he made

617
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:29,359
Speaker 10: the situation out we can't beat that kid.

618
00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:33,120
Speaker 2: Well, I wouldn't argue. I would argue it a different

619
00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:37,720
Speaker 2: way because I mean, if you look at his numbers

620
00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:43,120
Speaker 2: against the Bills, they're not impressive. Technically, he doesn't get

621
00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:45,799
Speaker 2: credit for the Week one win because Rogers started the game.

622
00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:47,800
Speaker 2: You can make of that what you will. He played

623
00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:51,680
Speaker 2: four plays. It's a stupid way that they categorize it

624
00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:54,640
Speaker 2: for quarterbacks. So he's technically one and one in three

625
00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:58,040
Speaker 2: games against the Bills played, but he's got a fifty

626
00:34:58,120 --> 00:35:01,759
Speaker 2: nine percent completion percentage. He's got three passing touchdowns, so

627
00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:04,759
Speaker 2: good on him against one pick. He's been sacked twelve times.

628
00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:07,000
Speaker 2: I think he's passer rating somewhere down in the low eighties.

629
00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:10,680
Speaker 2: So he I would argue, and you've heard Steve argue

630
00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:15,200
Speaker 2: this Pat to beat the Bills, they have to help you.

631
00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:18,800
Speaker 2: And I would argue that Josh Allen has helped the

632
00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:22,200
Speaker 2: Jets beat the Bills maybe more than any other opponent

633
00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:24,480
Speaker 2: that he has faced the last two years. Would you

634
00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:25,080
Speaker 2: go along with that?

635
00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:26,279
Speaker 10: Yeah?

636
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:26,640
Speaker 9: I would.

637
00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:30,520
Speaker 10: Yeah, we do help him? Do we do help the

638
00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:34,680
Speaker 10: Jets beat us. It's just disturbing that he's that quarterback.

639
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:37,279
Speaker 10: Zel Wilson's on the other side of the ball when

640
00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:40,440
Speaker 10: we lose to them, and yeah, the heck out of him.

641
00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:43,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I understand why it annoys you. Pat. Believe

642
00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:46,040
Speaker 2: me because that guy is not an NFL quarterback and

643
00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:49,879
Speaker 2: I feel real comfortable saying that. Appreciate the call, though.

644
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:53,400
Speaker 2: Let's move along to Phil In Buffalo. What do you

645
00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:54,120
Speaker 2: got for us? Phil?

646
00:35:55,080 --> 00:36:00,319
Speaker 8: I got three takes. I wish cast who was there, guys,

647
00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:05,799
Speaker 8: but pull in and leave me My god. McDermott at

648
00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:10,640
Speaker 8: bed they revived me to let that pair and that's

649
00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:15,759
Speaker 8: where it starts, top dout. Second one is, uh, I

650
00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:20,839
Speaker 8: was worried about the uh the tight EDGs this year,

651
00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:25,360
Speaker 8: and they got They seem to have answered him my question.

652
00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:30,479
Speaker 8: They finally got smart by the eyes. And the third

653
00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:34,360
Speaker 8: one is I was worried about the linebackers at the beginning.

654
00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:38,600
Speaker 8: To see that I'm not worrying as much now. Yeah,

655
00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:41,520
Speaker 8: maybe I got that one. You guys can talk about

656
00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:42,040
Speaker 8: it all right.

657
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:44,080
Speaker 2: Thanks, Phil, appreciate it. You want to take that Maddy

658
00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:45,920
Speaker 2: at least with the being and McDermott thing.

659
00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:48,360
Speaker 5: To start, Yeah, I'm definitely. I mean those two know

660
00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:50,600
Speaker 5: what they're doing. They've known what they're doing since they

661
00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:53,080
Speaker 5: came in in twenty seventeen. And to be able to

662
00:36:53,120 --> 00:36:55,600
Speaker 5: put the roster together that they've been able to put together,

663
00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:58,120
Speaker 5: it wasn't easy in that first year when you saw

664
00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:01,359
Speaker 5: many faces leave and a whole new slew of people

665
00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:04,000
Speaker 5: come into this team and really take over and start

666
00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:08,840
Speaker 5: that culture and identity. But through since that really happened,

667
00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:12,040
Speaker 5: I mean, this team has been rock solid with what

668
00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:16,000
Speaker 5: they've been able to do, the playoff appearances that they've had,

669
00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:19,400
Speaker 5: And yeah, you look at the linebackers in that last comment,

670
00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:22,399
Speaker 5: I don't think there's a lot to be worried about either.

671
00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:26,600
Speaker 5: Matt Mulano is so underrated. I think he is one

672
00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:28,960
Speaker 5: of the best, if not the best linebackers in the

673
00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:31,600
Speaker 5: NFL today. With what he's able to do and with

674
00:37:31,719 --> 00:37:34,759
Speaker 5: how the NFL has changed and gone towards more of

675
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:38,040
Speaker 5: a passing league, I think he's the perfect person in

676
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:41,359
Speaker 5: that role. And you line up another guy who kind

677
00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:44,440
Speaker 5: of looks like him in his makeup in Terrell Bernard,

678
00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:48,400
Speaker 5: and to see what they were able to do together yesterday.

679
00:37:48,520 --> 00:37:51,040
Speaker 5: I mean, hopefully this is just the start of these

680
00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:52,320
Speaker 5: two on the field as Bills.

681
00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:54,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, when you're GM and your head coach

682
00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:58,600
Speaker 2: are in lockstep, it's definitely a positive. And we've seen

683
00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:00,439
Speaker 2: that here for the first time in all long time.

684
00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:02,120
Speaker 2: And I would say you would have to go back

685
00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:07,800
Speaker 2: to Poleian and Levy to find a tandem in a

686
00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:10,440
Speaker 2: Buffalo front office and on the sideline that matches that.

687
00:38:12,280 --> 00:38:14,760
Speaker 2: I mean heck, those guys went to three Super Bowls

688
00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:20,000
Speaker 2: before Poleon had to leave unceremoniously. But going past that,

689
00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:24,799
Speaker 2: his second point dealt with the tight ends. I think

690
00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:27,000
Speaker 2: some people were a little worried because the tight ends

691
00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:30,319
Speaker 2: weren't quite as involved in the passing game yesterday. Looking

692
00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:32,839
Speaker 2: at their snapcounts. They were down a little bit last

693
00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:35,920
Speaker 2: week this past Sunday as well, not a lot, but

694
00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:40,600
Speaker 2: a little, and I think they were more concerned about

695
00:38:40,719 --> 00:38:44,320
Speaker 2: helping to protect Josh Allen against that defensive front, so

696
00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:47,040
Speaker 2: they were out in routes less often. This is just

697
00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:49,640
Speaker 2: me with the naked eye. I haven't gone back and

698
00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:54,040
Speaker 2: reviewed the game yet, but my eyes were telling me

699
00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:56,560
Speaker 2: yesterday that they were in a little bit more often

700
00:38:56,680 --> 00:39:02,000
Speaker 2: for protection and understandably so, and it worked. You know,

701
00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:04,239
Speaker 2: Josh didn't get sacked for the second week in a row.

702
00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:08,440
Speaker 2: I think he got hit once. So I mean, the

703
00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:10,359
Speaker 2: old line deserves a tip of the hat for their

704
00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:14,040
Speaker 2: performance yesterday, not only from a pass protection perspective, but

705
00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:16,239
Speaker 2: from a run game perspective as well, because they were

706
00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:19,640
Speaker 2: opening up some holes yesterday. James Cook almost hits one

707
00:39:19,719 --> 00:39:22,359
Speaker 2: hundred again for the second week in a row, comes

708
00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:25,279
Speaker 2: two yards short of that, and had he gotten in

709
00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:26,960
Speaker 2: the end zone on that long run, he would have

710
00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:29,600
Speaker 2: had it. He would have had exactly one hundred and

711
00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:33,960
Speaker 2: the touchdown to boot. But very encouraging signs in the

712
00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:38,960
Speaker 2: run game as well. And Maddie, we've heard coach McDermott

713
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:40,960
Speaker 2: talk about this for the better part of five years.

714
00:39:41,840 --> 00:39:44,600
Speaker 2: It starts up front. You have to control the line

715
00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:46,320
Speaker 2: of scrimmage, and I felt like the Bills did that

716
00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:49,280
Speaker 2: on the offensive and the defensive side of the ball yesterday.

717
00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:52,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, most definitely. I mean we always hear them talk

718
00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:54,839
Speaker 5: about how it starts in the trenches. And every year

719
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:57,719
Speaker 5: after every season, when we meet with Brandon Bean and

720
00:39:57,800 --> 00:40:01,000
Speaker 5: we talk about what they're gonna look in terms of

721
00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:02,960
Speaker 5: what they need to add to this roster in the

722
00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:05,640
Speaker 5: off season, Brandon always says, we're going to look at

723
00:40:05,680 --> 00:40:09,000
Speaker 5: the offensive line and the defensive lines first, like they

724
00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:11,760
Speaker 5: care so much about what goes on in the trenches.

725
00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:14,880
Speaker 5: And we see it pay off in yesterday's game on

726
00:40:15,080 --> 00:40:18,920
Speaker 5: offense and on defense, and sticking to offense for the

727
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:21,880
Speaker 5: offensive line, I talked about the confidence boost that a

728
00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:25,280
Speaker 5: bunch of defensive players get in yesterday's win. The confidence

729
00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:28,440
Speaker 5: boost that the offensive line has in yesterday's game, and

730
00:40:28,719 --> 00:40:33,080
Speaker 5: to put together two straight performances where josh Allen really

731
00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:35,080
Speaker 5: did have the time in the pocket that he needed,

732
00:40:36,040 --> 00:40:39,319
Speaker 5: had time to make those decisions, had time to find

733
00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:42,239
Speaker 5: guys downfield, and knowing that you're going to go up

734
00:40:42,280 --> 00:40:46,120
Speaker 5: against other defensive lines who have big name players, I

735
00:40:46,239 --> 00:40:49,120
Speaker 5: think says a lot about what this offense has done

736
00:40:49,200 --> 00:40:52,920
Speaker 5: to start the season. This offensive line. The confidence that

737
00:40:53,040 --> 00:40:55,719
Speaker 5: they must have, you know, a Spencer Brown, some of

738
00:40:55,719 --> 00:41:00,239
Speaker 5: your newer players Osyrus, Torrence, Connor McGovern to have that

739
00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:04,399
Speaker 5: chemistry you know here in week three also, I think

740
00:41:04,520 --> 00:41:07,360
Speaker 5: is big for this group. You're adding new players to

741
00:41:07,840 --> 00:41:12,040
Speaker 5: this offensive line who haven't played together consistently yet. And

742
00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:14,440
Speaker 5: what you were able to see against one of the

743
00:41:14,520 --> 00:41:17,120
Speaker 5: best defensive lines in the NFL. I mean, they go

744
00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:20,680
Speaker 5: into this game leading the NFL in sacks and in

745
00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:24,399
Speaker 5: quarterback hits and Josh Allen didn't get sacked once.

746
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:29,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, good performance for sure, really solid and when you

747
00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:31,839
Speaker 2: can control the line of scrimmage that way, And once

748
00:41:31,840 --> 00:41:35,080
Speaker 2: again we'll say it and we'll probably discuss this more

749
00:41:35,320 --> 00:41:38,040
Speaker 2: with Dan Rolovsky tomorrow on the Tuesday edition of One

750
00:41:38,120 --> 00:41:43,000
Speaker 2: Bill's Live but he was pining for more plays under

751
00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:46,040
Speaker 2: center for Josh. Eric Wood's been asking for that for

752
00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:49,360
Speaker 2: over a year, and we saw it last week against

753
00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:52,000
Speaker 2: the Raiders. We saw more of it yesterday, and I

754
00:41:52,080 --> 00:41:55,480
Speaker 2: think it just creates more space down the field for

755
00:41:55,920 --> 00:41:58,800
Speaker 2: skill position players because linebackers have to come up and

756
00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:01,960
Speaker 2: respect the run play those kinds of things. And it

757
00:42:02,040 --> 00:42:05,680
Speaker 2: also leads to a downhill rushing attack where Damien Harris,

758
00:42:05,760 --> 00:42:09,040
Speaker 2: Latavious Murray, James Cook can run downhill at the line

759
00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:12,160
Speaker 2: of scrimmage and then get the handoff rather than Josh

760
00:42:12,239 --> 00:42:13,960
Speaker 2: standing next to him and just sticking it in their

761
00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:16,200
Speaker 2: bread basket saying all right, go get them, like there's

762
00:42:16,239 --> 00:42:19,440
Speaker 2: no momentum there. And so I think those two elements

763
00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:23,400
Speaker 2: are a big help for the run game and the

764
00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:26,359
Speaker 2: ability for the offensive lineman to fire off the ball

765
00:42:26,520 --> 00:42:29,799
Speaker 2: and dictate to the defense in front what's going to happen,

766
00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:32,200
Speaker 2: rather than just throwing it in reverse forty times a game.

767
00:42:32,280 --> 00:42:34,759
Speaker 5: That's what Aaron Kromer has preached to these guys, and

768
00:42:34,840 --> 00:42:37,440
Speaker 5: you've heard them say that in press conferences when they

769
00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:40,360
Speaker 5: meet with us. Is we love Aaron Kromer's approach to

770
00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:44,080
Speaker 5: how we need to play at the offensive line positions,

771
00:42:44,200 --> 00:42:46,680
Speaker 5: is that we're gonna dictate what happens. We're not gonna

772
00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:48,799
Speaker 5: wait to see what the defensive line does to us.

773
00:42:49,280 --> 00:42:51,360
Speaker 5: We're gonna take that first step and dictate it. And

774
00:42:51,440 --> 00:42:53,640

00:45:10,160 --> 00:45:12,800
Speaker 14: producing now shows you what type of chefs on the

00:45:12,880 --> 00:45:15,359
Speaker 14: defensive side of the ball, fires coaches that we really

Speaker 14: the other side of the ball, I just want to

832
00:45:34,160 --> 00:45:36,080
Speaker 14: see on the receiver side of the ball, some of

833
00:45:36,160 --> 00:45:38,000
Speaker 14: these receivers gonna have to step up. We didn't play.

834
00:45:38,040 --> 00:45:40,040
Speaker 14: They had a few games, good games, but they're going

835
00:45:40,120 --> 00:45:41,920
Speaker 14: to step up. We got eight, then we got Mars

836
00:45:42,080 --> 00:45:44,880
Speaker 14: we got Marshall, we got Shavers, and we got Shorter

837
00:45:44,960 --> 00:45:47,920
Speaker 14: shitting on the benches watching these other veteran series that

839
00:45:49,760 --> 00:45:52,440
Speaker 14: side of the ball as well, offensively fires scoring points

840

Speaker 14: WGI. I know y' on my team and I want

848
00:46:07,320 --> 00:46:08,080
Speaker 10: Thank you so much.

849
00:46:08,160 --> 00:46:11,799
Speaker 2: Butch I appreciate the call, I will say, and I've

850
00:46:12,480 --> 00:46:16,239
Speaker 2: I've been banging this drum maybe longer than anybody, after

851
00:46:16,360 --> 00:46:20,279
Speaker 2: seeing a lot of coaching staffs blow through here over

852
00:46:20,320 --> 00:46:25,440
Speaker 2: the last twenty plus years, several in rapid succession. The

853
00:46:25,560 --> 00:46:30,280
Speaker 2: player development that this coaching staff employs is the best

854
00:46:30,360 --> 00:46:34,279
Speaker 2: I have ever seen. Players. Talented players don't just get

855
00:46:34,320 --> 00:46:37,640
Speaker 2: here and play, They get here and get better. And

856
00:46:37,760 --> 00:46:40,000
Speaker 2: to see what Terrell Bernard is doing in year two

857
00:46:40,200 --> 00:46:43,200
Speaker 2: is just the latest example. I mean, you can run

858
00:46:43,280 --> 00:46:46,320
Speaker 2: down the laundry list of players. Look at Rousseau. It

859
00:46:46,440 --> 00:46:48,400
Speaker 2: might have taken a little bit longer for Epinessa, but

860
00:46:48,440 --> 00:46:52,279
Speaker 2: now he's making plays. In year four, you've got Taron Johnson, Tree,

861
00:46:52,320 --> 00:46:55,720
Speaker 2: Davious White, I mean, run down the list, Dawson Knox.

862
00:46:56,000 --> 00:46:58,719
Speaker 2: It's just it's endless. Josh Allen in his third year

863
00:46:58,880 --> 00:47:03,920
Speaker 2: Bom takes off unbelievable. So the player development here is

864
00:47:04,760 --> 00:47:07,960
Speaker 2: top tier as far as I'm concerned, and Terrell Bernard

865
00:47:08,120 --> 00:47:11,640
Speaker 2: is the latest example of that, and the team reaps

866
00:47:11,760 --> 00:47:14,200
Speaker 2: the benefits because of it. And there's other guys in

867
00:47:14,239 --> 00:47:16,080
Speaker 2: the pipeline right now that you don't even know about

868
00:47:16,440 --> 00:47:19,520
Speaker 2: that are going to be really good, Like Kingsley Jonathan's

869
00:47:19,520 --> 00:47:23,320
Speaker 2: getting some experience right now. Next year he's probably you know,

870
00:47:23,880 --> 00:47:26,160
Speaker 2: higher in the rotation, getting more reps, and all of

871
00:47:26,239 --> 00:47:28,560
Speaker 2: a sudden, you might see Kingsley Jonathan next year with

872
00:47:28,640 --> 00:47:30,359
Speaker 2: eight sacks. You're like, well, where did that come from?

873
00:47:30,800 --> 00:47:32,400
Speaker 2: Player development?

874
00:47:32,640 --> 00:47:34,640
Speaker 5: We see it all the time here, and it's awesome

875
00:47:34,680 --> 00:47:37,360
Speaker 5: to see the scouting department work with the coaching staff

876
00:47:37,400 --> 00:47:40,440
Speaker 5: in this way. I mean, it's the perfect combination of

877
00:47:40,560 --> 00:47:43,000
Speaker 5: the scouting department being able to see the potential in

878
00:47:43,080 --> 00:47:45,640
Speaker 5: these players when they draft them or when they get

879
00:47:45,680 --> 00:47:47,720
Speaker 5: them in free agency, and then it's on the coaching

880
00:47:47,800 --> 00:47:51,080
Speaker 5: staff to get that potential out of him, out of

881
00:47:51,160 --> 00:47:54,040
Speaker 5: those players. And I know it's not easy, because you

882
00:47:54,160 --> 00:47:56,719
Speaker 5: said you've seen it not work before, and I've seen

883
00:47:56,760 --> 00:47:59,279
Speaker 5: it not work on the college level, but it's so

884
00:47:59,600 --> 00:48:01,960
Speaker 5: import important to be able to get that out of

885
00:48:02,160 --> 00:48:04,960
Speaker 5: each and every guy. And to see a guy like

886
00:48:05,080 --> 00:48:08,560
Speaker 5: you you said, Kingsley Jonathan, somebody who moved over here

887
00:48:08,800 --> 00:48:11,880
Speaker 5: from Nigeria who originally wanted to play in the NBA

888
00:48:12,440 --> 00:48:14,560
Speaker 5: and then ended up playing some high school football, went

889
00:48:14,600 --> 00:48:18,480
Speaker 5: to Sarracuse and saw some production there. And for a

890
00:48:18,520 --> 00:48:20,400
Speaker 5: guy like Brandon Bean and the scouts to say, you

891
00:48:20,480 --> 00:48:22,960
Speaker 5: know what, we see some potential in a guy who

892
00:48:23,280 --> 00:48:26,640
Speaker 5: has a raw talent and maybe needs to be coach

893
00:48:26,760 --> 00:48:28,719
Speaker 5: up a lot on a lot of things, but we

894
00:48:28,840 --> 00:48:32,360
Speaker 5: can see it paying off here underneath our coaching staff

895
00:48:32,440 --> 00:48:34,399
Speaker 5: because we believe in them, and I think we've seen

896
00:48:34,480 --> 00:48:36,960
Speaker 5: time and time again it's worked out. And the way

897
00:48:37,000 --> 00:48:40,200
Speaker 5: that they're able to work together to get the most

898
00:48:40,320 --> 00:48:42,800
Speaker 5: out of a player, most out of a quarterback in

899
00:48:42,960 --> 00:48:46,640
Speaker 5: Josh Allen, a player in Terrell Bernard, and you can

900
00:48:46,960 --> 00:48:50,120
Speaker 5: name several several guys who are starters on this team

901
00:48:50,520 --> 00:48:53,600
Speaker 5: who this coaching staff and the scouting department saw something

902
00:48:53,719 --> 00:48:56,680
Speaker 5: in them and now are reaping the benefits of being

903
00:48:56,719 --> 00:48:58,680
Speaker 5: able to get the best out of those guys.

904
00:48:59,360 --> 00:49:00,960
Speaker 2: Let's get back to the phones. We're going to go

905
00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:04,160
Speaker 2: to Chuck in Rochester next here. Let me play up, Chuck,

906
00:49:04,920 --> 00:49:07,040
Speaker 2: hang on, what do you got for us? Chuck?

907
00:49:08,400 --> 00:49:08,600
Speaker 10: Yeah?

908
00:49:08,719 --> 00:49:11,759
Speaker 15: Well, first, thanks a lot for taking my call. I've

909
00:49:11,800 --> 00:49:16,120
Speaker 15: been a longtime fan, my wife and I and I

910
00:49:16,200 --> 00:49:20,320
Speaker 15: wanted to say first that your partner today really is

911
00:49:20,520 --> 00:49:25,439
Speaker 15: so knowledgeable. I'm really impressed. But anyway, I wanted to talk.

912
00:49:26,200 --> 00:49:29,920
Speaker 15: I wanted to talk about Bernard. I mean, here he is,

913
00:49:30,800 --> 00:49:37,400
Speaker 15: doesn't play all training and he comes in and this

914
00:49:37,640 --> 00:49:41,200
Speaker 15: week he pretty much showed us in his performance that

915
00:49:41,320 --> 00:49:44,719
Speaker 15: he's the AFC Defensive Player of the Week. And I'm

916
00:49:44,840 --> 00:49:48,440
Speaker 15: so happy to see that because I was very worried

917
00:49:48,880 --> 00:49:52,120
Speaker 15: about that position, being that he didn't even play and

918
00:49:52,440 --> 00:49:55,640
Speaker 15: they chose him. So they did see something and you're

919
00:49:55,719 --> 00:49:58,480
Speaker 15: right about that, and that's that's all I have to say.

920
00:49:58,560 --> 00:49:58,800
Speaker 10: Thank you.

921
00:49:59,160 --> 00:50:03,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, And we often see this, right, like fans don't

922
00:50:03,600 --> 00:50:06,360
Speaker 2: see players every day, they don't see him in the

923
00:50:06,440 --> 00:50:09,360
Speaker 2: meeting rooms. They don't see them on the practice field.

924
00:50:09,640 --> 00:50:12,600
Speaker 2: They don't see them in the weight room. The coaching

925
00:50:12,719 --> 00:50:16,879
Speaker 2: staff sees Terrel Bernard every day, every minute of the day.

926
00:50:17,600 --> 00:50:20,680
Speaker 2: They know what his character makeup is, they know how

927
00:50:20,760 --> 00:50:23,400
Speaker 2: smart he is, they know what his football IQ is,

928
00:50:23,600 --> 00:50:26,960
Speaker 2: and they obviously know what his athletic ability and instincts are.

929
00:50:27,760 --> 00:50:31,120
Speaker 2: So all of us are wondering, Hey, can Durel Bernard

930
00:50:31,200 --> 00:50:32,959
Speaker 2: do this, this, that and the other. Hey, he didn't

931
00:50:32,960 --> 00:50:35,320
Speaker 2: play in the preseason. Maybe they should start with Dotson

932
00:50:35,360 --> 00:50:37,040
Speaker 2: and then when Bernard's ready, if you like him, go

933
00:50:37,120 --> 00:50:43,440
Speaker 2: over to him. They know better then we all do,

934
00:50:44,120 --> 00:50:47,319
Speaker 2: because they're around them every minute of the day. Oh yeah,

935
00:50:47,680 --> 00:50:50,480
Speaker 2: And so that's why sometimes and Steve will do this

936
00:50:50,600 --> 00:50:53,600
Speaker 2: all the time. He'll just say, can we just trust

937
00:50:53,680 --> 00:50:56,960
Speaker 2: the coaches? And this is a perfect example of that.

938
00:50:57,480 --> 00:51:00,520
Speaker 2: Everybody was like, oh boy, I don't know Bernard. He

939
00:51:00,600 --> 00:51:04,000
Speaker 2: hadn't play in the preseason. Took him one game to

940
00:51:04,040 --> 00:51:07,200
Speaker 2: get up to speed, and now he's tearing the cover

941
00:51:07,360 --> 00:51:10,360
Speaker 2: off of things on opposing offenses. He's playing out of

942
00:51:10,400 --> 00:51:12,879
Speaker 2: his skull and we all hope it continues. And I'm

943
00:51:12,880 --> 00:51:15,880
Speaker 2: glad you noticed that Maddie is as knowledgeable as she is.

944
00:51:15,960 --> 00:51:18,840
Speaker 2: She does her homework and she does that so she

945
00:51:19,000 --> 00:51:21,080
Speaker 2: can pass knowledge on to you. So I'm glad you

946
00:51:21,160 --> 00:51:21,480
Speaker 2: noticed that.

947
00:51:21,600 --> 00:51:21,839
Speaker 9: Chuck.

948
00:51:21,880 --> 00:51:23,719
Speaker 2: Good on you. We're at the top of the hour.

949
00:51:23,760 --> 00:51:26,160
Speaker 2: We're gonna take a break more of your phone calls

950
00:51:26,280 --> 00:51:28,680
Speaker 2: when we come back, and we've got plenty of other

951
00:51:28,800 --> 00:51:31,680
Speaker 2: things in store for you in our number two, including

952
00:51:32,080 --> 00:51:33,800
Speaker 2: a trip around the locker room. We'll get to that

953
00:51:33,880 --> 00:51:36,080
Speaker 2: when we return here. On One Bill's Live presented by

Speaker 1: This the One Bill's Lives presented by Calllida Health.

956
00:52:21,640 --> 00:52:24,080
Speaker 2: Hour number two on a Buffalo Football Monday. On One

957
00:52:24,120 --> 00:52:27,759
Speaker 2: Bill's Live, Chris Brown Maddy lab with you and talking

958
00:52:27,800 --> 00:52:32,520
Speaker 2: about your biggest takeaways from the thirty four point victory.

959
00:52:32,880 --> 00:52:35,479
Speaker 2: So I not offense something on defense that caught your eye.

960
00:52:35,840 --> 00:52:37,319
Speaker 2: You let us know at eight oh three oh five

961
00:52:37,440 --> 00:52:39,719
Speaker 2: fifty we got open lines for you. But we're going

962
00:52:39,840 --> 00:52:42,320
Speaker 2: right back to the phones and we go to ed

963
00:52:42,560 --> 00:52:44,319
Speaker 2: in Fairport next. What do you got for us? Head?

964
00:52:45,640 --> 00:52:47,600
Speaker 16: Well, the one thing that I wanted to say is

965
00:52:47,680 --> 00:52:52,360
Speaker 16: that there any extra game balls playing around. Jones, Torrance,

966
00:52:52,920 --> 00:53:02,320
Speaker 16: Morris McGovern and Dawkins need one. Okay, they have played fantastically.

967
00:53:04,239 --> 00:53:06,799
Speaker 16: Josh Allen was as clean as he's ever been, nearly

968
00:53:06,880 --> 00:53:10,240
Speaker 16: one hundred, one hundred yard rusher, one hundred guard rusher

969
00:53:10,360 --> 00:53:16,520
Speaker 16: last week. Considering how iffy we felt about the offensive

970
00:53:16,640 --> 00:53:20,120
Speaker 16: line going in, they have answered.

971
00:53:21,239 --> 00:53:23,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think there's any question about it, Ed,

972
00:53:23,120 --> 00:53:25,279
Speaker 2: and thanks for the call. I appreciate it. Eight oh

973
00:53:25,320 --> 00:53:28,279
Speaker 2: three zero five eight five fifty two five fifty to

974
00:53:28,360 --> 00:53:32,880
Speaker 2: get on board. Here got open lines for you. The

975
00:53:33,080 --> 00:53:38,120
Speaker 2: run game, Maddie, I think has added a more unpredictable

976
00:53:38,320 --> 00:53:43,560
Speaker 2: element to the to do list for opposing defenses. If

977
00:53:43,600 --> 00:53:47,320
Speaker 2: you remember last year, Maddie, the run game at times

978
00:53:47,520 --> 00:53:51,960
Speaker 2: was a slog like. They couldn't get any consistent traction

979
00:53:52,080 --> 00:53:54,200
Speaker 2: in the run game, and the run game in essence

980
00:53:54,280 --> 00:53:58,200
Speaker 2: became Josh Allen. So now you got Josh in charge

981
00:53:58,200 --> 00:54:00,920
Speaker 2: of the passing game making plays there, and then they

982
00:54:01,000 --> 00:54:03,160
Speaker 2: also had to have him make plays with his legs.

983
00:54:03,760 --> 00:54:06,359
Speaker 2: And now we're you know, you're looking at the season now,

984
00:54:06,800 --> 00:54:08,799
Speaker 2: and I've got the stats right here, so I'm gonna

985
00:54:08,800 --> 00:54:13,200
Speaker 2: look look at him real quick. But through three games, yes,

986
00:54:13,440 --> 00:54:17,280
Speaker 2: Josh Allen has twelve carries, but James Cook has forty

987
00:54:17,360 --> 00:54:21,160
Speaker 2: four and Harris and Murray have thirteen a piece, so

988
00:54:21,239 --> 00:54:25,200
Speaker 2: they've got one more than Josh has. That's an encouraging

989
00:54:25,440 --> 00:54:29,040
Speaker 2: sign to me. The other encouraging sign is you look

990
00:54:29,040 --> 00:54:31,839
Speaker 2: at yesterday's game and I don't know if there were

991
00:54:31,920 --> 00:54:35,040
Speaker 2: any instances where you were blown away by the run game,

992
00:54:35,520 --> 00:54:36,960
Speaker 2: but at the end of the game, you look at

993
00:54:36,960 --> 00:54:40,279
Speaker 2: the numbers, they're averaging five point one to carry, and

994
00:54:40,400 --> 00:54:43,439
Speaker 2: that's with Josh Allen only making three carries of his own,

995
00:54:43,920 --> 00:54:46,239
Speaker 2: which one of which was the ten yard touchdown run

996
00:54:46,760 --> 00:54:51,759
Speaker 2: and the scramble early when he slid. So you take

997
00:54:51,840 --> 00:54:55,040
Speaker 2: that all out in the wash five point one. That

998
00:54:55,800 --> 00:55:00,399
Speaker 2: gets attention from opposing defenses because now it's not like, ah,

999
00:55:01,040 --> 00:55:03,239
Speaker 2: their run game just isn't something they do to keep

1000
00:55:03,320 --> 00:55:06,399
Speaker 2: us honest. There's potency to that run game.

1001
00:55:06,480 --> 00:55:08,560
Speaker 5: Now, yeah, you have to respect the run and I

1002
00:55:08,600 --> 00:55:11,920
Speaker 5: think that's what this coaching staff and the scouting department

1003
00:55:12,360 --> 00:55:14,319
Speaker 5: have wanted out of this group, and I think they

1004
00:55:14,800 --> 00:55:18,360
Speaker 5: have that now in James Cook, Damien Harris, and Latavius

1005
00:55:18,480 --> 00:55:21,680
Speaker 5: Murray with what they've been able to do and how

1006
00:55:22,680 --> 00:55:25,600
Speaker 5: each guy offers a different type of skill set and

1007
00:55:25,680 --> 00:55:28,920
Speaker 5: has different strengths on offense. I love the power that

1008
00:55:29,000 --> 00:55:32,680
Speaker 5: you get from Latavius and Damian, and I love the

1009
00:55:33,080 --> 00:55:35,600
Speaker 5: twitchiness of a player like James Cook. I mean, it's

1010
00:55:35,680 --> 00:55:38,000
Speaker 5: not just one running back that you have to prepare

1011
00:55:38,080 --> 00:55:42,200
Speaker 5: for as a defensive team going into this Miami Dolphins,

1012
00:55:42,239 --> 00:55:45,560
Speaker 5: preparing for these running backs on defense, you have to

1013
00:55:45,680 --> 00:55:49,319
Speaker 5: prepare for each guy. And we've seen Latavius Murray get

1014
00:55:49,360 --> 00:55:52,520
Speaker 5: into the end zone. We've seen Damian Harris have those rushes,

1015
00:55:52,760 --> 00:55:55,120
Speaker 5: and we've seen what James Cook can do. And how

1016
00:55:55,440 --> 00:55:58,279
Speaker 5: I think with every single game, I think we've seen

1017
00:55:58,360 --> 00:56:01,600
Speaker 5: James Cook look stronger and stronger with the way that

1018
00:56:01,719 --> 00:56:04,200
Speaker 5: he takes on and invites some hits and is able

1019
00:56:04,280 --> 00:56:07,360
Speaker 5: to get a couple extra yards. And hopefully this just

1020
00:56:07,640 --> 00:56:10,960
Speaker 5: continues to get better because that's going to open things

1021
00:56:11,040 --> 00:56:13,520
Speaker 5: up for Josh and the wide receivers and the tight ends.

1022
00:56:14,000 --> 00:56:16,000
Speaker 2: Eight ho three zero five point fifty one eight eight

1023
00:56:16,040 --> 00:56:17,840
Speaker 2: eight five fifty two five to fifty the number to

1024
00:56:17,880 --> 00:56:19,879
Speaker 2: get on board. Got some open lines for you there,

1025
00:56:20,400 --> 00:56:22,120
Speaker 2: and and Maddy and I were talking about this in

1026
00:56:22,200 --> 00:56:25,680
Speaker 2: the break. If you take a look at the Dolphins defense,

1027
00:56:26,480 --> 00:56:30,239
Speaker 2: their numbers are ordinary through the first three games. And yes,

1028
00:56:30,560 --> 00:56:34,359
Speaker 2: they played a really high powered Chargers offense in week one,

1029
00:56:34,920 --> 00:56:37,520
Speaker 2: but they played New England in week two, and they

1030
00:56:37,600 --> 00:56:41,640
Speaker 2: played Denver, who's looking pretty sorry right now, yesterday, and

1031
00:56:42,320 --> 00:56:46,239
Speaker 2: their numbers are anything but impressive. On the defensive side

1032
00:56:46,239 --> 00:56:47,960
Speaker 2: of the ball. They can't get off the field on

1033
00:56:48,080 --> 00:56:50,760
Speaker 2: third down. They ranked twenty fourth and third down defense,

1034
00:56:51,280 --> 00:56:54,240
Speaker 2: and they're twenty fourth against the run. I said to Maddie,

1035
00:56:54,280 --> 00:56:58,520
Speaker 2: I said, how when you are outscoring teams the way

1036
00:56:58,640 --> 00:57:01,319
Speaker 2: you are on offense as the number one scoring team

1037
00:57:01,400 --> 00:57:04,880
Speaker 2: in football, knowing the opponent usually has to throw the

1038
00:57:04,960 --> 00:57:07,360
Speaker 2: ball just to get back in the game, how in

1039
00:57:07,440 --> 00:57:11,160
Speaker 2: the universe are you twenty fourth against the run? And

1040
00:57:11,280 --> 00:57:13,400
Speaker 2: I think a running game is gonna play a large

1041
00:57:13,480 --> 00:57:16,920
Speaker 2: part in Buffalo's game plan this week against the Dolphins,

1042
00:57:17,320 --> 00:57:19,680
Speaker 2: and with the success they've had through the first three weeks,

1043
00:57:19,800 --> 00:57:22,200
Speaker 2: I'm encouraged by that. I don't know if I ever

1044
00:57:22,240 --> 00:57:25,200
Speaker 2: would have said that two years ago when Dable was

1045
00:57:25,280 --> 00:57:27,840
Speaker 2: calling forty eight to forty nine pass plays a game,

1046
00:57:28,600 --> 00:57:31,280
Speaker 2: But I think that they found something here in this

1047
00:57:31,440 --> 00:57:34,400
Speaker 2: run game that is going to force opponents to respect it,

1048
00:57:34,920 --> 00:57:38,440
Speaker 2: and hopefully that opens up chunk plays in the passing

1049
00:57:38,480 --> 00:57:40,200
Speaker 2: game as a result. That's the hope anyway.

1050
00:57:40,320 --> 00:57:42,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, and we don't know how the game's gonna play out.

1051
00:57:42,320 --> 00:57:45,479
Speaker 5: Maybe the Bills will have to rely on Josh Allen

1052
00:57:45,520 --> 00:57:47,360
Speaker 5: in the passing game quite a bit. But you would

1053
00:57:47,440 --> 00:57:49,840
Speaker 5: think in a game against the Dolphins, with the way

1054
00:57:49,880 --> 00:57:51,800
Speaker 5: that they've been able to put points on the scoreboard,

1055
00:57:51,840 --> 00:57:54,280
Speaker 5: you're gonna have to win on offense in more ways

1056
00:57:54,360 --> 00:57:57,080
Speaker 5: than one. You're gonna have to scheme up different ways

1057
00:57:57,120 --> 00:58:00,600
Speaker 5: to get different guys involved because maybe there is gonna

1058
00:58:00,600 --> 00:58:02,880
Speaker 5: be a point where where you do have to match.

1059
00:58:02,960 --> 00:58:05,280
Speaker 5: I mean, hopefully the Bills have the lead this whole

1060
00:58:05,520 --> 00:58:08,600
Speaker 5: entire game on Sunday against the Dolphins, but I would

1061
00:58:08,600 --> 00:58:11,000
Speaker 5: think that you do have to get other guys involved

1062
00:58:11,040 --> 00:58:13,240
Speaker 5: because you're gonna need to put a lot of points

1063
00:58:13,320 --> 00:58:16,280
Speaker 5: on the scoreboard. You're gonna have to average. They've been

1064
00:58:16,400 --> 00:58:19,240
Speaker 5: averaging a good amount of points. They're right up there

1065
00:58:19,320 --> 00:58:21,680
Speaker 5: with the Dolphins. I mean, right now, they're second in

1066
00:58:21,720 --> 00:58:24,520
Speaker 5: the NFL, averaging thirty point three three points per game.

1067
00:58:24,560 --> 00:58:27,520
Speaker 5: The Dolphins are first in the NFL, averaging forty three

1068
00:58:27,600 --> 00:58:29,720
Speaker 5: point three to three points per game. Of course, they

1069
00:58:29,800 --> 00:58:33,640
Speaker 5: put a seventy burger on the Broncos yesterday. So that's

1070
00:58:33,640 --> 00:58:36,160
Speaker 5: why they have such a big average. But you're gonna

1071
00:58:36,200 --> 00:58:38,320
Speaker 5: have to be up there with the Dolphins, and you

1072
00:58:38,440 --> 00:58:41,280
Speaker 5: gotta use every single guy on offense to be able

1073
00:58:41,320 --> 00:58:44,400
Speaker 5: to put points on the scoreboard, from from your running

1074
00:58:44,440 --> 00:58:46,920
Speaker 5: backs to your receivers to your tight ends. I think

1075
00:58:46,920 --> 00:58:48,760
Speaker 5: we see a lot of guys involved in the game

1076
00:58:48,800 --> 00:58:49,560
Speaker 5: plan on Sunday.

1077
00:58:49,720 --> 00:58:51,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's get back to the phones though. At eight

1078
00:58:51,560 --> 00:58:53,560
Speaker 2: h three oh five fifty, got some people waiting there.

1079
00:58:53,960 --> 00:58:56,240
Speaker 2: We go to Dave in Virginia. Next. What do you

1080
00:58:56,320 --> 00:58:56,680
Speaker 2: got for us?

1081
00:58:56,760 --> 00:58:56,920
Speaker 9: Dave?

1082
00:58:58,760 --> 00:59:02,640
Speaker 11: Yes, good afternoon. I'd like to say that I took

1083
00:59:03,080 --> 00:59:06,479
Speaker 11: a big, deep breath of relief in the very first

1084
00:59:06,600 --> 00:59:10,400
Speaker 11: drive when Josh threw the ball over. Everybody's said, rather

1085
00:59:10,520 --> 00:59:14,400
Speaker 11: than orce it in to someone where it possible turnover

1086
00:59:15,120 --> 00:59:18,080
Speaker 11: would have happened or could have happened, and they settled

1087
00:59:18,080 --> 00:59:20,480
Speaker 11: for the three points. I said, if he's playing this way,

1088
00:59:21,280 --> 00:59:23,520
Speaker 11: we got this game in the bag, and he did

1089
00:59:23,720 --> 00:59:24,240
Speaker 11: and we won.

1090
00:59:25,320 --> 00:59:27,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, a little bit of a live for the next

1091
00:59:27,880 --> 00:59:31,680
Speaker 2: down or don't jeopardize a red zone possession with a turnover.

1092
00:59:31,800 --> 00:59:39,240
Speaker 2: I agree, Dave. He's doing better with his risk management.

1093
00:59:39,600 --> 00:59:42,640
Speaker 2: And that's really the only thing. And I was pretty taken, Maddie.

1094
00:59:42,680 --> 00:59:44,280
Speaker 2: And I'm sure you heard this, you know, on the

1095
00:59:44,280 --> 00:59:47,200
Speaker 2: postgame show that you did last night, Bills Tonight, when

1096
00:59:47,240 --> 00:59:51,360
Speaker 2: you were running Coach mcdermot's press conference. I was struck

1097
00:59:51,440 --> 00:59:55,200
Speaker 2: by what he said, specifically about josh and the way

1098
00:59:55,320 --> 00:59:58,560
Speaker 2: he played yesterday. He kind of lent some more insight

1099
00:59:59,160 --> 01:00:02,880
Speaker 2: to the converse they had after the Jets game. He

1100
01:00:03,040 --> 01:00:06,840
Speaker 2: made it patently obvious that what he said to Joshua

1101
01:00:07,000 --> 01:00:11,240
Speaker 2: was we're not trying to change who you are as

1102
01:00:11,400 --> 01:00:14,480
Speaker 2: a player. You're too talented for us to restrict you.

1103
01:00:14,600 --> 01:00:19,120
Speaker 2: That would be foolish. But we are asking you to

1104
01:00:20,160 --> 01:00:26,320
Speaker 2: embrace the discipline and the decorum needed and the responsibility

1105
01:00:26,480 --> 01:00:31,680
Speaker 2: of the position of quarterback. And that doesn't mean you

1106
01:00:31,840 --> 01:00:34,400
Speaker 2: try to curtail the things that you do to help

1107
01:00:34,480 --> 01:00:38,000
Speaker 2: your team win football games. But it does mean you

1108
01:00:38,200 --> 01:00:41,680
Speaker 2: have to be disciplined in your decision making because that's

1109
01:00:41,720 --> 01:00:46,080
Speaker 2: what the responsibility of the position demands. Too many other

1110
01:00:46,240 --> 01:00:51,240
Speaker 2: people are dependent on you making the right decisions because

1111
01:00:51,280 --> 01:00:53,320
Speaker 2: of the position that you play, and I thought it

1112
01:00:53,440 --> 01:00:56,360
Speaker 2: was an interesting distinction that he made because I think

1113
01:00:56,400 --> 01:00:59,160
Speaker 2: a lot of fans were worried after the first week, saying,

1114
01:00:59,240 --> 01:01:04,280
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, they're gonna hamstring Josh. They're gonna put

1115
01:01:04,320 --> 01:01:06,360
Speaker 2: the raps on him, and he's not gonna be the

1116
01:01:06,480 --> 01:01:09,920
Speaker 2: dynamic quarterback that we love to see every week. And

1117
01:01:10,040 --> 01:01:12,720
Speaker 2: I think coach McDermott made a very important distinction on

1118
01:01:12,840 --> 01:01:13,360
Speaker 2: Sunday with that.

1119
01:01:13,520 --> 01:01:13,720
Speaker 13: Yeah.

1120
01:01:13,720 --> 01:01:15,560
Speaker 5: I think one of the lines he used was you

1121
01:01:15,720 --> 01:01:18,640
Speaker 5: have to play a certain way without losing your identity,

1122
01:01:18,760 --> 01:01:21,040
Speaker 5: and I think that was the perfect way to put

1123
01:01:21,120 --> 01:01:24,760
Speaker 5: things and it was great insight from the coaching staff

1124
01:01:24,800 --> 01:01:28,480
Speaker 5: of what they're expecting of Josh Allen, their quarterback, and

1125
01:01:28,600 --> 01:01:31,280
Speaker 5: of course you don't want him to lose his identity

1126
01:01:31,720 --> 01:01:34,920
Speaker 5: and the things that make him who he is and

1127
01:01:35,080 --> 01:01:37,440
Speaker 5: why a lot of people look at him as being

1128
01:01:37,560 --> 01:01:39,920
Speaker 5: one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL is because

1129
01:01:40,160 --> 01:01:43,880
Speaker 5: he does have that crazy playmaking ability. He does have

1130
01:01:44,080 --> 01:01:47,320
Speaker 5: the strength within those legs and you see that, and

1131
01:01:47,400 --> 01:01:50,560
Speaker 5: you've seen it time and time again throughout his career.

1132
01:01:50,720 --> 01:01:53,360
Speaker 5: Of reasons why the Bills have been in games, why

1133
01:01:53,400 --> 01:01:56,280
Speaker 5: the Bills have came back to win games, and why

1134
01:01:56,440 --> 01:02:00,600
Speaker 5: they've been a consistent playoff contender with hopes of making

1135
01:02:00,640 --> 01:02:03,480
Speaker 5: it to the super Bowls because they have the quarterback

1136
01:02:03,760 --> 01:02:08,200
Speaker 5: and Josh Allen. Without him, this team looks very, very different. Yes,

1137
01:02:08,280 --> 01:02:10,520
Speaker 5: they have a lot of great playmakers on offense and

1138
01:02:10,600 --> 01:02:13,760
Speaker 5: on defense, but that's their guy, that's their captain, and

1139
01:02:13,840 --> 01:02:16,000
Speaker 5: so you have to allow him to do those things

1140
01:02:16,080 --> 01:02:20,720
Speaker 5: that make him superman in ways. But you can't play

1141
01:02:20,840 --> 01:02:24,240
Speaker 5: hero ball every single down. And I think yesterday we

1142
01:02:24,320 --> 01:02:27,480
Speaker 5: saw good mix of that. We saw him making those

1143
01:02:27,600 --> 01:02:30,720
Speaker 5: right decisions, but we also saw him take shots down

1144
01:02:30,760 --> 01:02:33,640
Speaker 5: the field. We saw that huge touchdown to Gabe Davis.

1145
01:02:33,760 --> 01:02:35,880
Speaker 5: We saw that throw to Stefan Diggs that was a

1146
01:02:35,960 --> 01:02:41,320
Speaker 5: thirty yard completion that was just like, Josh, this is

1147
01:02:41,360 --> 01:02:43,720
Speaker 5: what we want out of you, and right, and I

1148
01:02:43,840 --> 01:02:47,240
Speaker 5: think you see him making those strides. And I think

1149
01:02:47,320 --> 01:02:50,520
Speaker 5: Sean McDermott also talked about the growth that you see

1150
01:02:50,720 --> 01:02:53,080
Speaker 5: in Josh and and the growth that you've seen in

1151
01:02:53,400 --> 01:02:57,680
Speaker 5: his decision making ability, and I think it's it's week three.

1152
01:02:57,800 --> 01:03:00,680
Speaker 5: We're going to continue to see that this season. But

1153
01:03:00,920 --> 01:03:02,800
Speaker 5: at the end of the day, this guy is such

1154
01:03:02,960 --> 01:03:06,080
Speaker 5: a competitor and he wants to do anything in everything

1155
01:03:06,200 --> 01:03:09,000
Speaker 5: he can to put his team in the game and

1156
01:03:09,360 --> 01:03:11,760
Speaker 5: to give his team the biggest chance of winning. But

1157
01:03:11,960 --> 01:03:14,440
Speaker 5: sometimes that's just making the right decision.

1158
01:03:14,960 --> 01:03:17,360
Speaker 2: It's having more trust in the players around you to

1159
01:03:17,400 --> 01:03:20,040
Speaker 2: make plays for you so you don't feel like you

1160
01:03:20,160 --> 01:03:23,680
Speaker 2: have to make ten or twelve unbelievable Josh Allen type plays.

1161
01:03:23,720 --> 01:03:26,240
Speaker 2: Maybe you only have to make two, three or four

1162
01:03:26,320 --> 01:03:29,120
Speaker 2: a game, and if a game's going like it was yesterday,

1163
01:03:29,320 --> 01:03:32,120
Speaker 2: you probably don't need too many at all because you're

1164
01:03:32,120 --> 01:03:35,800
Speaker 2: so far up on the scoreboard. So just play it straight,

1165
01:03:36,440 --> 01:03:40,440
Speaker 2: don't do anything extraordinary to take on any unnecessary risk,

1166
01:03:40,480 --> 01:03:42,720
Speaker 2: And I thought he struck a good balance yesterday. To

1167
01:03:42,880 --> 01:03:45,040
Speaker 2: Doug in Tonawanda, next, what do you got for us, Doug?

1168
01:03:46,120 --> 01:03:47,880
Speaker 13: Oh, thanks for having me on. I just think there's

1169
01:03:47,920 --> 01:03:51,360
Speaker 13: so much depth on the defense now, between the line

1170
01:03:51,680 --> 01:03:55,720
Speaker 13: and the backfield, Tran Deal, cam Lewis, the rest of

1171
01:03:55,760 --> 01:03:59,720
Speaker 13: the group. It's just amazing. And for that reason, Tomorrow

1172
01:03:59,760 --> 01:04:02,840
Speaker 13: Ham it's really been inactive. But you've got them in

1173
01:04:02,880 --> 01:04:05,960
Speaker 13: the in the background if you need them, So hang

1174
01:04:06,080 --> 01:04:06,640
Speaker 13: up for your answer.

1175
01:04:06,960 --> 01:04:09,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean there is very good depth on this roster.

1176
01:04:09,720 --> 01:04:12,000
Speaker 2: I think that was well established. I mean we were

1177
01:04:12,040 --> 01:04:14,680
Speaker 2: talking about it in the offseason, Maddie. The Bills were

1178
01:04:14,720 --> 01:04:18,560
Speaker 2: completely under the radar. Everybody was gaga about the Jets

1179
01:04:18,600 --> 01:04:20,840
Speaker 2: with the Aaron Rodgers acquisition, and I get it, you know,

1180
01:04:21,000 --> 01:04:23,760
Speaker 2: I understand it. Four time MVP and the whole thing.

1181
01:04:24,240 --> 01:04:26,840
Speaker 2: People were going nuts for the Dolphins for a little

1182
01:04:26,840 --> 01:04:29,880
Speaker 2: while too, and maybe that's with good merit based on

1183
01:04:30,000 --> 01:04:32,720
Speaker 2: how they've gotten off to a three and oh start.

1184
01:04:33,440 --> 01:04:36,280
Speaker 2: But I felt, and I believe you did. I don't

1185
01:04:36,280 --> 01:04:38,040
Speaker 2: want to put words in your mouth, but a bunch

1186
01:04:38,080 --> 01:04:41,400
Speaker 2: of us here around the building felt the roster was

1187
01:04:41,560 --> 01:04:45,840
Speaker 2: more talented and deeper than the one they had last year.

1188
01:04:46,360 --> 01:04:50,920
Speaker 2: So I think fans are seeing more evidence of that

1189
01:04:51,240 --> 01:04:54,760
Speaker 2: now that the product is on the field. But the

1190
01:04:54,880 --> 01:04:58,040
Speaker 2: d line is probably the best example of that. They're

1191
01:04:58,160 --> 01:05:02,640
Speaker 2: dressing nine every week for games and there's no drop

1192
01:05:02,760 --> 01:05:05,440
Speaker 2: off from unit one to unit two.

1193
01:05:06,280 --> 01:05:09,360
Speaker 5: And this team was already good last season. It's not

1194
01:05:09,640 --> 01:05:13,160
Speaker 5: easy to go into an off season without all the

1195
01:05:13,280 --> 01:05:16,200
Speaker 5: money in the world to spend and to have to

1196
01:05:17,280 --> 01:05:20,560
Speaker 5: be conscious of where you're spending money and how you're

1197
01:05:20,600 --> 01:05:23,760
Speaker 5: adding to the roster through the draft and through free agency,

1198
01:05:24,280 --> 01:05:26,680
Speaker 5: and come out and look at the roster and say,

1199
01:05:26,760 --> 01:05:28,920
Speaker 5: this is what we were able to do throughout the

1200
01:05:28,960 --> 01:05:31,640
Speaker 5: off season. You and I talked about it so many

1201
01:05:31,680 --> 01:05:34,960
Speaker 5: different times of this is probably the best roster that

1202
01:05:35,080 --> 01:05:38,440
Speaker 5: we've seen in the Sean McDermott era, with the depth

1203
01:05:38,520 --> 01:05:41,880
Speaker 5: that they have and the additions, the quiet editions of

1204
01:05:42,000 --> 01:05:46,960
Speaker 5: players like Poona Ford and Leonard Floyd and Connor McGovern

1205
01:05:47,160 --> 01:05:50,919
Speaker 5: and deciding to draft a tight end in the first

1206
01:05:51,040 --> 01:05:54,640
Speaker 5: round with the way things fell to them, decision after

1207
01:05:54,800 --> 01:05:58,160
Speaker 5: decision by Brandon Bean and a scouting department started to

1208
01:05:58,760 --> 01:06:03,560
Speaker 5: put together a raws of one that had some new

1209
01:06:03,720 --> 01:06:06,320
Speaker 5: starters in things that would help this team take that

1210
01:06:06,400 --> 01:06:10,320
Speaker 5: next step, but sure depth and depth that you could

1211
01:06:10,320 --> 01:06:13,280
Speaker 5: go into a long season where depth was tested last

1212
01:06:13,360 --> 01:06:17,440
Speaker 5: year where we used second and third string players, and

1213
01:06:17,520 --> 01:06:19,880
Speaker 5: I think that started to put a story together for

1214
01:06:20,200 --> 01:06:23,000
Speaker 5: the scouting department the coaching staff of here's where we

1215
01:06:23,080 --> 01:06:25,200
Speaker 5: need to add in the offseason, and I think they

1216
01:06:25,280 --> 01:06:28,840
Speaker 5: did exactly that. So when that depth is tested, hopefully

1217
01:06:29,000 --> 01:06:32,320
Speaker 5: it's not this season because they're healthy, but if it is,

1218
01:06:32,720 --> 01:06:34,840
Speaker 5: you have guys that you can rely on, and in

1219
01:06:34,920 --> 01:06:37,680
Speaker 5: some position groups you need to rely on that depth,

1220
01:06:37,800 --> 01:06:41,240
Speaker 5: like the defensive line, because you're constantly rotating through players.

1221
01:06:42,080 --> 01:06:44,680
Speaker 2: Let's get back to the phones and Chad in South

1222
01:06:44,720 --> 01:06:46,120
Speaker 2: Buffalo is up next? What's up?

1223
01:06:46,200 --> 01:06:46,439
Speaker 9: Chad?

1224
01:06:47,640 --> 01:06:51,240
Speaker 17: I think guys doing love this show a couple of things.

1225
01:06:52,160 --> 01:06:54,400
Speaker 17: I had a lot of questions going into the season.

1226
01:06:55,160 --> 01:06:57,520
Speaker 17: One was the offensive line in the running game. I

1227
01:06:57,600 --> 01:07:00,720
Speaker 17: think that's been answered as well as Gabe Dave performing

1228
01:07:00,760 --> 01:07:05,400
Speaker 17: as a number two receiver. But the defense hide to

1229
01:07:05,560 --> 01:07:10,000
Speaker 17: Davis Whaye Bernard in particular. I think the two older

1230
01:07:10,040 --> 01:07:13,200
Speaker 17: ones needed to prove that they could still do it,

1231
01:07:13,720 --> 01:07:16,000
Speaker 17: and Bernard needed to prove that he could do it

1232
01:07:16,080 --> 01:07:18,880
Speaker 17: as a starter. And I think all of those questions

1233
01:07:19,000 --> 01:07:22,080
Speaker 17: have been answered now they just need to keep doing

1234
01:07:22,120 --> 01:07:23,880
Speaker 17: it on a consistent basis.

1235
01:07:24,720 --> 01:07:27,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, no doubt about it, Chad, and thanks for the call.

1236
01:07:27,440 --> 01:07:31,160
Speaker 2: I think the early returns are very encouraging. Granted, two

1237
01:07:31,240 --> 01:07:34,240
Speaker 2: of the three games have been against what many would

1238
01:07:34,320 --> 01:07:37,880
Speaker 2: consider lesser opponents. As we already touched on earlier in

1239
01:07:37,920 --> 01:07:42,840
Speaker 2: the show, this is a heavyweight match up this Sunday

1240
01:07:43,280 --> 01:07:45,840
Speaker 2: where you're playing against a team that wants to be

1241
01:07:46,000 --> 01:07:49,440
Speaker 2: considered top tier, where the Bills have resided in the

1242
01:07:49,480 --> 01:07:53,280
Speaker 2: AFC the last few years, and some of their early

1243
01:07:53,400 --> 01:07:56,640
Speaker 2: performances are indicators that they might be ready to make

1244
01:07:56,720 --> 01:07:59,560
Speaker 2: that claim. So it's going to be a much stiffer

1245
01:07:59,640 --> 01:08:02,840
Speaker 2: test this week than they've seen in the last two weeks.

1246
01:08:03,440 --> 01:08:06,280
Speaker 2: But I'm kind of glad that they've got some get

1247
01:08:06,400 --> 01:08:09,400
Speaker 2: good games these last two weeks. Hopefully they can use

1248
01:08:09,520 --> 01:08:13,400
Speaker 2: that as a springboard into this monumental early season division

1249
01:08:13,480 --> 01:08:14,280
Speaker 2: matchup on Sunday.

1250
01:08:14,360 --> 01:08:16,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, you go into a game like this against the

1251
01:08:16,479 --> 01:08:20,080
Speaker 5: Dolphins with tape in your previous games of things that

1252
01:08:20,240 --> 01:08:26,320
Speaker 5: have gone right, of plays and scenarios where people where

1253
01:08:26,360 --> 01:08:30,280
Speaker 5: players have done a great job, whether it's interceptions, whether

1254
01:08:30,320 --> 01:08:33,160
Speaker 5: it's sacks, whether it's protection for Josh Allen, whether it's

1255
01:08:33,240 --> 01:08:37,120
Speaker 5: completions by Josh, whether it's catches by receivers, to where

1256
01:08:37,720 --> 01:08:40,240
Speaker 5: it helps your confidence, to where it helps you in

1257
01:08:40,720 --> 01:08:43,559
Speaker 5: a game against one of the best NFL teams as

1258
01:08:43,600 --> 01:08:47,240
Speaker 5: we're looking at right now, And Yeah, I can live

1259
01:08:47,360 --> 01:08:49,840
Speaker 5: up to this level. I can compete at this level.

1260
01:08:50,680 --> 01:08:54,000
Speaker 5: I can go up against a team that's the fastest

1261
01:08:54,040 --> 01:08:56,519
Speaker 5: on offense in the NFL. I think having that in

1262
01:08:56,640 --> 01:08:59,360
Speaker 5: your bag and having that to go off of and

1263
01:08:59,560 --> 01:09:03,360
Speaker 5: look at right now as this team is processing and

1264
01:09:03,640 --> 01:09:06,320
Speaker 5: going through the tape of yesterday's win against the Commanders,

1265
01:09:06,360 --> 01:09:08,760
Speaker 5: I think there's things you can take away from the

1266
01:09:08,840 --> 01:09:11,960
Speaker 5: last couple of games and help you against a team

1267
01:09:12,040 --> 01:09:14,559
Speaker 5: that the Miami Dolphins have that is three and oh

1268
01:09:14,720 --> 01:09:15,840
Speaker 5: right now to start the season.

1269
01:09:16,479 --> 01:09:18,280
Speaker 2: Let's get right back to the phones because we've got

1270
01:09:18,320 --> 01:09:21,599
Speaker 2: people waiting to Pasqually in Lavonia. What do you got, Pasqually?

1271
01:09:22,640 --> 01:09:25,880
Speaker 18: Hey, I just wanted to say I was so excited

1272
01:09:25,920 --> 01:09:30,479
Speaker 18: to see Josh Allen slide instead of jumping or doing

1273
01:09:30,600 --> 01:09:33,479
Speaker 18: anything crazy, you know, just tuck the ball down, run

1274
01:09:33,560 --> 01:09:35,680
Speaker 18: for yards and he slid to the ground. Gave him

1275
01:09:35,680 --> 01:09:38,280
Speaker 18: soap up, didn't need to take a massive hit and

1276
01:09:38,439 --> 01:09:42,960
Speaker 18: that was just awesome to see. Also, Bernard's played yesterday

1277
01:09:43,240 --> 01:09:46,080
Speaker 18: alongside Milano. I think they're gonna look awesome going through

1278
01:09:46,120 --> 01:09:48,439
Speaker 18: the rest of the year. So I appreciate everything you

1279
01:09:48,479 --> 01:09:50,320
Speaker 18: guys do. Thank you, and I'll hang up and listen

1280
01:09:50,360 --> 01:09:50,920
Speaker 18: to what you got to say.

1281
01:09:50,920 --> 01:09:54,920
Speaker 2: All right, thanks for the call. Appreciate that. Yeah, I mean,

1282
01:09:56,800 --> 01:09:59,880
Speaker 2: Josh I think is getting it. It's funny because the

1283
01:10:00,000 --> 01:10:02,160
Speaker 2: host game press conference he was asked about his slide

1284
01:10:02,200 --> 01:10:05,160
Speaker 2: and he cracked a smile and kind of gave indication

1285
01:10:05,280 --> 01:10:07,160
Speaker 2: that he had a friendly wager with some of his

1286
01:10:07,240 --> 01:10:10,880
Speaker 2: teammates about whether he would actually slide or not, because

1287
01:10:11,360 --> 01:10:14,040
Speaker 2: I don't think any of them believe his competitive nature

1288
01:10:14,080 --> 01:10:16,040
Speaker 2: would allow him to slide sometimes. But he's done in

1289
01:10:16,080 --> 01:10:18,479
Speaker 2: each of the last two games, Maddie. As a matter

1290
01:10:18,520 --> 01:10:20,439
Speaker 2: of fact, he drew a penalty last week against the

1291
01:10:20,479 --> 01:10:22,679
Speaker 2: Raiders because there was a late hit coming in after

1292
01:10:22,760 --> 01:10:25,599
Speaker 2: he already had given himself up and the defensive player

1293
01:10:25,640 --> 01:10:27,720
Speaker 2: for the Raiders hit him in the helmet. But yeah,

1294
01:10:27,840 --> 01:10:31,720
Speaker 2: that's another example of the maturity that you and I

1295
01:10:31,840 --> 01:10:33,920
Speaker 2: were just talking about a few moments ago about Josh.

1296
01:10:34,760 --> 01:10:38,000
Speaker 2: It's hey, we got what we needed here. We got

1297
01:10:38,080 --> 01:10:41,120
Speaker 2: the first down, fresh set of downs. Let's live for

1298
01:10:41,160 --> 01:10:43,760
Speaker 2: another play and again not go back to the hero

1299
01:10:43,880 --> 01:10:44,920
Speaker 2: ball that you were just talking about.

1300
01:10:45,000 --> 01:10:48,439
Speaker 5: Yeahm living to see another play. And I love that

1301
01:10:48,600 --> 01:10:51,920
Speaker 5: his teammates, you know, didn't think or didn't know if

1302
01:10:52,000 --> 01:10:54,240
Speaker 5: he was going to slide. I think that taught like

1303
01:10:54,680 --> 01:10:56,960
Speaker 5: that lends its hand to the competitor that you have

1304
01:10:57,200 --> 01:10:59,840
Speaker 5: as a quarterback. And I know his teammates love him

1305
01:10:59,880 --> 01:11:03,639
Speaker 5: so much because of that competitor that he has inside

1306
01:11:03,680 --> 01:11:05,120
Speaker 5: of him. And I don't know what it's like to

1307
01:11:05,160 --> 01:11:08,520
Speaker 5: play quarterback. I've never played quarterback. I'm sure in scenarios

1308
01:11:08,560 --> 01:11:10,680
Speaker 5: when you want to get a couple extra yards, it's

1309
01:11:10,800 --> 01:11:13,160
Speaker 5: really hard to decide to go down and slide. But

1310
01:11:13,280 --> 01:11:16,360
Speaker 5: to see him make that decision and say, no, I'm

1311
01:11:16,400 --> 01:11:19,280
Speaker 5: going to be smart here, I'm gonna slide, you know,

1312
01:11:19,479 --> 01:11:20,719
Speaker 5: says a lot about his growth.

1313
01:11:21,360 --> 01:11:24,679
Speaker 2: To John in Rochester. Next, what do you got for us? John?

1314
01:11:26,880 --> 01:11:29,559
Speaker 19: How you doing? Christ and Maddy love your show. Thanks

1315
01:11:29,600 --> 01:11:32,040
Speaker 19: you guys do a great job. Maddie, you're doing a

1316
01:11:32,080 --> 01:11:35,720
Speaker 19: great job selling in for Steve. Listen to you all

1317
01:11:35,760 --> 01:11:39,719
Speaker 19: the time. I think here's a juxtaposition that I feel

1318
01:11:40,080 --> 01:11:43,479
Speaker 19: for this game coming up. I think we have just

1319
01:11:43,560 --> 01:11:47,560
Speaker 19: a great matchup of coaches. McDermott from his side of

1320
01:11:47,600 --> 01:11:50,600
Speaker 19: the defense being a defensive coach and McDaniel being this

1321
01:11:50,720 --> 01:11:54,720
Speaker 19: offensive guru. We've got a big play offense against the

1322
01:11:54,760 --> 01:11:57,720
Speaker 19: big play defense. What the way the Bills are now

1323
01:11:57,920 --> 01:12:00,800
Speaker 19: set up, They're really set up to be a ball

1324
01:12:00,880 --> 01:12:03,840
Speaker 19: control more of but ball control offense. And if you

1325
01:12:03,920 --> 01:12:06,360
Speaker 19: look at this year so far, they've had drives that

1326
01:12:06,520 --> 01:12:09,800
Speaker 19: have been way way up there, and I think they're

1327
01:12:09,840 --> 01:12:12,519
Speaker 19: setting up this for this type of offense. You've got

1328
01:12:12,600 --> 01:12:14,719
Speaker 19: Josh Allen at the helm, and who wouldn't take Josh

1329
01:12:14,760 --> 01:12:18,920
Speaker 19: Allen over any quarterback, you know, certainly over Tua. He's

1330
01:12:19,000 --> 01:12:21,560
Speaker 19: not a game manager, but again he can manage a

1331
01:12:21,640 --> 01:12:24,560
Speaker 19: game in the threat of him on third down to

1332
01:12:24,680 --> 01:12:27,360
Speaker 19: always run the ball and roll out and get that

1333
01:12:27,520 --> 01:12:30,719
Speaker 19: third down conversion even when it is behind the sticks,

1334
01:12:30,800 --> 01:12:33,479
Speaker 19: like third and eight with Shakir yesterday on one and

1335
01:12:33,560 --> 01:12:35,840
Speaker 19: you ran for two. You know, these are the type

1336
01:12:35,880 --> 01:12:39,920
Speaker 19: of drive killers that another quarterbacks is not going to

1337
01:12:39,960 --> 01:12:42,639
Speaker 19: be able to do. And Josh can keep the sticks

1338
01:12:42,720 --> 01:12:45,800
Speaker 19: moving like that even if we're behind the sticks. And

1339
01:12:46,479 --> 01:12:48,680
Speaker 19: on defense we have a pass rush like we never

1340
01:12:48,800 --> 01:12:52,320
Speaker 19: have had before and two matchup linebackers. Like you said,

1341
01:12:52,720 --> 01:12:55,400
Speaker 19: these guys will create havoc in the middle of the field,

1342
01:12:55,880 --> 01:12:57,600
Speaker 19: and I think are the way we're going to do

1343
01:12:57,680 --> 01:12:59,720
Speaker 19: it against the Dolphins is to take away to the

1344
01:12:59,720 --> 01:13:03,000
Speaker 19: middle of the field and give them between the twenties

1345
01:13:03,439 --> 01:13:07,280
Speaker 19: and really tighten up down in the red zone area

1346
01:13:07,479 --> 01:13:11,760
Speaker 19: and try to get one big play for possession. And

1347
01:13:11,840 --> 01:13:14,120
Speaker 19: if we can do that in six or seven possessions

1348
01:13:14,160 --> 01:13:17,080
Speaker 19: and control the ball, I think will prevail. I mean,

1349
01:13:17,160 --> 01:13:20,000
Speaker 19: I think this McDaniel let offense is unbelievable, and I

1350
01:13:20,120 --> 01:13:23,080
Speaker 19: think he did out coach McDermott at least twice other

1351
01:13:23,160 --> 01:13:26,040
Speaker 19: three times last week. So let's see what McDermott can

1352
01:13:26,120 --> 01:13:28,439
Speaker 19: come up with this week and if he can actually

1353
01:13:28,520 --> 01:13:31,280
Speaker 19: out coach this genius McDaniel, and I'll be excited to

1354
01:13:31,400 --> 01:13:33,760
Speaker 19: see that game. It's going to be an unbelievable game

1355
01:13:34,160 --> 01:13:37,040
Speaker 19: as far as I'm concerned, and I do feel like

1356
01:13:37,120 --> 01:13:39,720
Speaker 19: the better quarterbacks should win always even though they have

1357
01:13:39,840 --> 01:13:43,560
Speaker 19: so much speed. I think McDermott knows what to do

1358
01:13:43,680 --> 01:13:47,000
Speaker 19: against the speed, at least it looks like that. So

1359
01:13:47,120 --> 01:13:48,640
Speaker 19: that's all I had to say. I think it's going

1360
01:13:48,720 --> 01:13:52,680
Speaker 19: to be a unique game, and I think Buffalo is

1361
01:13:52,680 --> 01:13:55,360
Speaker 19: going to try to control it through possession football, and

1362
01:13:55,479 --> 01:13:59,000
Speaker 19: these two running backs, the big guys they brought in Alo,

1363
01:13:59,240 --> 01:14:03,600
Speaker 19: along with the James, can allow us to control the

1364
01:14:03,680 --> 01:14:08,479
Speaker 19: football even on the short passes. I think we can

1365
01:14:08,560 --> 01:14:11,040
Speaker 19: do that moving up and down the field, and with

1366
01:14:11,240 --> 01:14:15,479
Speaker 19: Diggs and even Davis on shorter passes passes and the

1367
01:14:15,560 --> 01:14:19,200
Speaker 19: other guys at Hardy and Shakir, they need to be

1368
01:14:19,280 --> 01:14:21,680
Speaker 19: involved a little more and within the tight ends in

1369
01:14:21,760 --> 01:14:24,840
Speaker 19: the twelve personnel. I think that will happen. But that's

1370
01:14:24,880 --> 01:14:26,639
Speaker 19: all I wanted to say. I think Buffalo will continue

1371
01:14:26,640 --> 01:14:28,559
Speaker 19: to be a high scoring offense, but it's with more

1372
01:14:28,600 --> 01:14:29,799
Speaker 19: of a controlled aggression.

1373
01:14:30,040 --> 01:14:34,200
Speaker 2: All right, Thanks John, A lot in there to unpack. Yeah,

1374
01:14:34,240 --> 01:14:37,720
Speaker 2: I mean, I guess that is. It's crazy like with

1375
01:14:37,880 --> 01:14:40,479
Speaker 2: all the stars in this football game. The thing that

1376
01:14:40,600 --> 01:14:44,000
Speaker 2: intrigues me the most coming up here on Sunday is

1377
01:14:44,640 --> 01:14:48,040
Speaker 2: it's literally head to head Sean McDermott calling the defense

1378
01:14:48,080 --> 01:14:51,840
Speaker 2: against Mike McDaniel's offense. All eyeballs are going.

1379
01:14:51,800 --> 01:14:55,040
Speaker 5: To be on the scheming there witness it. And I

1380
01:14:55,080 --> 01:14:57,240
Speaker 5: think another important part just before we go to break

1381
01:14:57,240 --> 01:14:59,920
Speaker 5: about what he said was the Bills have an offen

1382
01:15:00,320 --> 01:15:02,960
Speaker 5: that can really control the ball. And I thought about

1383
01:15:03,160 --> 01:15:05,479
Speaker 5: the time of possession that they've had so far. They

1384
01:15:05,600 --> 01:15:08,960
Speaker 5: rank third in the NFL, averaging thirty five minutes and

1385
01:15:09,120 --> 01:15:13,120
Speaker 5: forty five seconds in their time of possession on offense.

1386
01:15:13,200 --> 01:15:16,639
Speaker 5: And they had a drive yesterday, a field goal drive

1387
01:15:16,720 --> 01:15:19,599
Speaker 5: in the second quarter that took nine minutes and forty

1388
01:15:19,720 --> 01:15:22,200
Speaker 5: seven seconds off the clock. They're going to have to

1389
01:15:22,280 --> 01:15:24,479
Speaker 5: do that against the Dolphins. I know it's a quick

1390
01:15:24,600 --> 01:15:27,240
Speaker 5: offense that the Dolphins have, but to be able to

1391
01:15:27,800 --> 01:15:31,680
Speaker 5: take time off of the scoreboard, take time off of

1392
01:15:31,760 --> 01:15:34,320
Speaker 5: the ability that the Dolphins have to put things together,

1393
01:15:34,400 --> 01:15:35,759
Speaker 5: I think is going to help the Bills.

1394
01:15:36,280 --> 01:15:40,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was their longest scoring drive since twenty seventeen,

1395
01:15:41,120 --> 01:15:43,200
Speaker 2: nine minutes and forty seven seconds. The best thing about

1396
01:15:43,240 --> 01:15:46,519
Speaker 2: that was it came right after the goal line stand

1397
01:15:46,640 --> 01:15:49,439
Speaker 2: at the two yard line and they go eighty seven

1398
01:15:49,600 --> 01:15:54,040
Speaker 2: yards the other way. Even despite twenty five yards in penalties,

1399
01:15:54,439 --> 01:15:57,880
Speaker 2: they still overcome long down in distance and Tyler Bass,

1400
01:15:57,880 --> 01:15:59,720
Speaker 2: of course bails them out with the fifty four yard

1401
01:15:59,760 --> 01:16:04,120
Speaker 2: field goal on that scoring drive. So yes, the fact

1402
01:16:04,280 --> 01:16:07,280
Speaker 2: that they can string plays together long drives. I mean

1403
01:16:07,400 --> 01:16:09,439
Speaker 2: the week before they had a fifteen play drive and

1404
01:16:09,479 --> 01:16:12,920
Speaker 2: two eleven play drives for points. Yesterday they have the

1405
01:16:12,960 --> 01:16:15,320
Speaker 2: fifteen play drive, they have the eleven play drive at

1406
01:16:15,320 --> 01:16:17,040
Speaker 2: the beginning of the game, and then a nine play

1407
01:16:17,120 --> 01:16:19,880
Speaker 2: drive at the end that they got off the last

1408
01:16:19,960 --> 01:16:23,880
Speaker 2: punt by Washington. So yeah, it is encouraging and maybe

1409
01:16:23,960 --> 01:16:27,280
Speaker 2: that is the formula to slow the Miami offense down.

1410
01:16:27,360 --> 01:16:29,599
Speaker 2: Just don't let them get on the field. Break time

1411
01:16:29,680 --> 01:16:32,280
Speaker 2: for us more of your phone calls when we return,

1412
01:16:32,640 --> 01:16:37,000
Speaker 2: along with the first installment of the Maddie Awards. Those

1413
01:16:37,040 --> 01:16:38,840
Speaker 2: are coming your way next here on one Bill's Live

1414
01:16:38,880 --> 01:16:54,640
Speaker 2: presented by Kalida Health. It's Buffalo Bills Radio. Welcome back

1415
01:16:54,680 --> 01:16:57,559
Speaker 2: to a Buffalo victory Monday here on One Bill's Live.

1416
01:16:58,439 --> 01:17:02,840
Speaker 2: And it is time for the of the Maddie Awards.

1417
01:17:02,920 --> 01:17:05,280
Speaker 2: You know them, you love them because they come after

1418
01:17:05,479 --> 01:17:09,920
Speaker 2: every Bill's victory. They are presented by Energy Mark, the

1419
01:17:10,000 --> 01:17:14,880
Speaker 2: official energy supplier to the Buffalo Bills. And we don't

1420
01:17:14,880 --> 01:17:17,439
Speaker 2: have a red carpet, but it was a red letter

1421
01:17:17,560 --> 01:17:21,479
Speaker 2: day for the Bills yesterday against the Washington Commanders. Maddie.

1422
01:17:21,680 --> 01:17:23,880
Speaker 5: Yes, we've got our awards to give out right here,

1423
01:17:24,000 --> 01:17:28,080
Speaker 5: and I'll start first with the terminator, because he was

1424
01:17:28,400 --> 01:17:32,240
Speaker 5: terminating what the Commanders were trying to do on offense.

1425
01:17:32,320 --> 01:17:34,800
Speaker 5: It's Terrell Bernard with the game that he put together.

1426
01:17:34,880 --> 01:17:38,920
Speaker 5: Two sacks, an interception, a fumble recovery, A big game

1427
01:17:39,080 --> 01:17:42,720
Speaker 5: for a guy who has big responsibilities, a first year

1428
01:17:42,920 --> 01:17:46,640
Speaker 5: starter wearing the green dot calling the defense. You have

1429
01:17:46,880 --> 01:17:49,000
Speaker 5: to do a lot. You have a lot on your

1430
01:17:49,120 --> 01:17:52,040
Speaker 5: plate when you're the middle linebacker and you're wearing that

1431
01:17:52,200 --> 01:17:54,600
Speaker 5: green dot. But it didn't seem like too much for

1432
01:17:54,760 --> 01:17:58,160
Speaker 5: him yesterday against the Commanders. He did a great job

1433
01:17:58,280 --> 01:18:02,599
Speaker 5: calling the defense, paying those calls to everybody on defense,

1434
01:18:02,920 --> 01:18:06,560
Speaker 5: and he was impactful. He was a part of everything.

1435
01:18:06,680 --> 01:18:10,840
Speaker 5: You saw forty three everywhere yesterday, And I love seeing

1436
01:18:10,960 --> 01:18:13,600
Speaker 5: that out of a younger guy who's been you know,

1437
01:18:13,960 --> 01:18:17,719
Speaker 5: thrown into this opportunity, somebody that was heard through training camp,

1438
01:18:17,920 --> 01:18:21,200
Speaker 5: who didn't get to put together a preseason and comes

1439
01:18:21,240 --> 01:18:24,600
Speaker 5: out here and has this type of game against the Commanders.

1440
01:18:24,840 --> 01:18:27,080
Speaker 5: I love it. I want more of it going forward,

1441
01:18:27,360 --> 01:18:30,360
Speaker 5: thinking of Matt Mlano and him together the rest of

1442
01:18:30,439 --> 01:18:32,640
Speaker 5: this season. Sign me up.

1443
01:18:32,840 --> 01:18:33,040
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1444
01:18:33,720 --> 01:18:33,800
Speaker 19: Uh.

1445
01:18:34,040 --> 01:18:36,679
Speaker 2: He wasn't alone, as we know, on the defensive side

1446
01:18:36,720 --> 01:18:39,719
Speaker 2: of the ball, and that's where your Disruptors Award is headed.

1447
01:18:39,880 --> 01:18:43,000
Speaker 5: The Disruptors is going to the defensive line for the

1448
01:18:43,120 --> 01:18:46,160
Speaker 5: job that they did and the pressure that they put

1449
01:18:46,280 --> 01:18:49,160
Speaker 5: on Sam Howell. He was pressured on twenty seven of

1450
01:18:49,320 --> 01:18:52,560
Speaker 5: thirty nine dropbacks at sixty nine point two percent, the

1451
01:18:52,720 --> 01:18:55,400
Speaker 5: second highest pressure rate in a game in the Next

1452
01:18:55,520 --> 01:18:59,920
Speaker 5: Gen Stats era that since twenty sixteen, seven different Bills

1453
01:19:00,080 --> 01:19:03,960
Speaker 5: defenders generated at least four pressures, at Oliver led the

1454
01:19:04,000 --> 01:19:07,960
Speaker 5: way with seven, according to Next Gen Stats. They caused

1455
01:19:08,200 --> 01:19:11,400
Speaker 5: so much havoc against a quarterback who didn't know what

1456
01:19:11,680 --> 01:19:14,120
Speaker 5: was coming his way, and you saw the impact that

1457
01:19:14,200 --> 01:19:16,679
Speaker 5: that had on him in the second half of the game,

1458
01:19:17,040 --> 01:19:20,240
Speaker 5: being a little skittish in the pocket, kind of bracing

1459
01:19:20,360 --> 01:19:23,800
Speaker 5: himself for the defensive line and the linebackers that were

1460
01:19:23,840 --> 01:19:27,200
Speaker 5: coming after him every single play. And I love that

1461
01:19:27,320 --> 01:19:29,240
Speaker 5: they did it with those four guys a lot of

1462
01:19:29,280 --> 01:19:32,240
Speaker 5: the time. Yes, Sean McDermott did send a blitzer on

1463
01:19:32,360 --> 01:19:34,599
Speaker 5: some of those plays. You did see the linebackers come

1464
01:19:34,720 --> 01:19:37,880
Speaker 5: after Sam Howell. But I love seeing that out of

1465
01:19:37,920 --> 01:19:40,880
Speaker 5: those four defensive linemen with the pressure that they were

1466
01:19:40,920 --> 01:19:44,280
Speaker 5: able to generate. You need every single guy to make

1467
01:19:44,360 --> 01:19:46,800
Speaker 5: it work, and every single guy stepped up to the

1468
01:19:46,880 --> 01:19:50,000
Speaker 5: plate and was effective yesterday. That's what you need to

1469
01:19:50,080 --> 01:19:52,760
Speaker 5: see out of this group going forward, and I love

1470
01:19:52,840 --> 01:19:54,080
Speaker 5: the game that they put together.

1471
01:19:54,240 --> 01:19:58,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, through three games, the Bills have the lowest blitz rate,

1472
01:19:59,439 --> 01:20:02,439
Speaker 2: but they have the highest sack rate, so they are

1473
01:20:02,520 --> 01:20:06,800
Speaker 2: getting home consistently just rushing for more often than not.

1474
01:20:06,960 --> 01:20:09,760
Speaker 2: That's definitely an encouraging sign going forward because that's when

1475
01:20:09,840 --> 01:20:13,439
Speaker 2: this defensive scheme works at works its best when it

1476
01:20:13,520 --> 01:20:17,559
Speaker 2: can drop seven and rush for with some success. Okay,

1477
01:20:17,960 --> 01:20:21,400
Speaker 2: let's flip it around and your Protector's Award. I think

1478
01:20:21,439 --> 01:20:22,320
Speaker 2: I know where this is going.

1479
01:20:22,520 --> 01:20:26,400
Speaker 5: The protectors they're going. It's going to the offensive line

1480
01:20:26,479 --> 01:20:29,200
Speaker 5: for the job that they did giving Josh Allen the

1481
01:20:29,240 --> 01:20:32,680
Speaker 5: protection that he needed to make things happen. It's a

1482
01:20:32,760 --> 01:20:37,480
Speaker 5: confidence building performance. We talked all week about the Commander's

1483
01:20:37,560 --> 01:20:41,599
Speaker 5: defensive line, the names Jace Young, Montes, Sweat, the first

1484
01:20:41,760 --> 01:20:44,760
Speaker 5: rounders that made up that defensive line, and the tall

1485
01:20:44,920 --> 01:20:47,479
Speaker 5: task it would be to go up against defensive line

1486
01:20:47,560 --> 01:20:50,200
Speaker 5: like that, and the offensive line said, you know what, Yeah,

1487
01:20:50,280 --> 01:20:52,439
Speaker 5: it's a great defensive line, but we're gonna have a

1488
01:20:52,520 --> 01:20:55,880
Speaker 5: game against these guys. I love the mentality of the

1489
01:20:56,000 --> 01:20:59,439
Speaker 5: offensive line. I love how Aaron Kromer has coached up

1490
01:20:59,520 --> 01:21:03,439
Speaker 5: this screw in the mentality of you're going after the

1491
01:21:03,520 --> 01:21:06,280
Speaker 5: defensive line. You're not gonna allow the defensive line to

1492
01:21:06,400 --> 01:21:09,400
Speaker 5: dictate what you guys are doing. You dictate what they

1493
01:21:09,560 --> 01:21:11,680
Speaker 5: have to do. And I think you saw that in

1494
01:21:11,840 --> 01:21:15,000
Speaker 5: yesterday's performance. And you need a group like this not

1495
01:21:15,160 --> 01:21:18,000
Speaker 5: only to let Josh Allen do what he does best,

1496
01:21:18,080 --> 01:21:19,920
Speaker 5: but you need a group like this to be able

1497
01:21:20,000 --> 01:21:23,120
Speaker 5: to allow the run game to happen, to be able

1498
01:21:23,200 --> 01:21:26,320
Speaker 5: to open up holes for guys like James Cook and

1499
01:21:26,439 --> 01:21:31,080
Speaker 5: Damian Harrison, Latavious Murray. They are so important to what

1500
01:21:31,240 --> 01:21:34,040
Speaker 5: this offense can do and what this offense did do

1501
01:21:34,280 --> 01:21:37,920
Speaker 5: against the Commanders. To have a performance like this this week,

1502
01:21:38,280 --> 01:21:41,040
Speaker 5: going into this big game against the Dolphins in Week four,

1503
01:21:41,200 --> 01:21:43,439
Speaker 5: I hope they go into that game with a lot

1504
01:21:43,560 --> 01:21:46,880
Speaker 5: of confidence on Sunday afternoon because they've been able to

1505
01:21:46,960 --> 01:21:50,240
Speaker 5: put together two great performances back to back weeks against

1506
01:21:50,240 --> 01:21:51,680
Speaker 5: the Raiders and then the Commanders.

1507
01:21:51,880 --> 01:21:57,439
Speaker 2: Okay, your second award going to a singular player, mister reliable.

1508
01:21:57,040 --> 01:21:59,640
Speaker 5: Mister reliable, it's going to Stepan Diggs. I love that

1509
01:21:59,720 --> 01:22:02,599
Speaker 5: he goes back home and has a game, another one

1510
01:22:02,720 --> 01:22:05,679
Speaker 5: hundred yard day for him. Josh went to him early

1511
01:22:05,840 --> 01:22:08,360
Speaker 5: and often, and I think that's another way that you

1512
01:22:08,479 --> 01:22:11,000
Speaker 5: see this win. This offense is at its best. You

1513
01:22:11,120 --> 01:22:13,920
Speaker 5: got the offensive line protecting for Josh Allen, and then

1514
01:22:13,960 --> 01:22:17,920
Speaker 5: you've got Josh Allen going to his guy, relying on

1515
01:22:18,120 --> 01:22:21,600
Speaker 5: Stefan Diggs. He passes the nine thousand yard mark in

1516
01:22:21,640 --> 01:22:24,800
Speaker 5: his career. He's only one of six active players right

1517
01:22:24,880 --> 01:22:27,439
Speaker 5: now that can say that they've done that. He's such

1518
01:22:27,600 --> 01:22:32,679
Speaker 5: an important person to this offense. He's such an important connection,

1519
01:22:32,840 --> 01:22:36,200
Speaker 5: the connection between Josh Allen and Stefan Diggs. You're gonna

1520
01:22:36,240 --> 01:22:39,400
Speaker 5: have to rely on that this Sunday against Dolphins. And

1521
01:22:39,479 --> 01:22:42,720
Speaker 5: I love the game that he put together against the Commanders,

1522
01:22:42,760 --> 01:22:45,960
Speaker 5: going over one hundred receiving yards, had some big plays.

1523
01:22:45,680 --> 01:22:48,200
Speaker 2: In there, all right. So then we've got a little

1524
01:22:48,280 --> 01:22:51,280
Speaker 2: nostalgia here with this next award, the welcome Back Award.

1525
01:22:51,800 --> 01:22:55,639
Speaker 5: Welcome back Micah Hyde and Tredevius White. They've both worked

1526
01:22:55,800 --> 01:22:58,320
Speaker 5: so hard to get back to the field to be

1527
01:22:58,560 --> 01:23:03,360
Speaker 5: confident again. Tredevious White, of course has been back last season,

1528
01:23:03,520 --> 01:23:07,360
Speaker 5: but really having now an off season, a healthy off

1529
01:23:07,439 --> 01:23:10,479
Speaker 5: season under his belt, and I think we've seen what

1530
01:23:11,240 --> 01:23:14,040
Speaker 5: type of impact that has with his interception that he

1531
01:23:14,160 --> 01:23:17,960
Speaker 5: had yesterday. Micah Hyde also proving that he's not too old.

1532
01:23:18,040 --> 01:23:21,840
Speaker 5: He can still make plays on defense. So welcome back

1533
01:23:21,880 --> 01:23:25,360
Speaker 5: to those two. Your defensive line doesn't have the game

1534
01:23:25,400 --> 01:23:28,240
Speaker 5: that they have without a back end of your defense

1535
01:23:28,400 --> 01:23:31,920
Speaker 5: in those guys in Tredevious White and Micah Hyde holding

1536
01:23:32,080 --> 01:23:35,200
Speaker 5: things down. It's the rush and the coverage that Sean

1537
01:23:35,280 --> 01:23:38,960
Speaker 5: McDermott talked about, those two things working harmoniously, those two

1538
01:23:39,040 --> 01:23:42,960
Speaker 5: things working simultaneously, and we saw that yesterday Okay.

1539
01:23:43,200 --> 01:23:44,960
Speaker 2: We're going to stay on the defensive side of the

1540
01:23:45,000 --> 01:23:46,439
Speaker 2: ball here with the hot hand.

1541
01:23:46,640 --> 01:23:50,040
Speaker 5: Award hot hand, aj Epanessa, You've got the hot hand,

1542
01:23:50,080 --> 01:23:52,679
Speaker 5: and I want to see it again next week against

1543
01:23:52,800 --> 01:23:57,120
Speaker 5: the Dolphins. First career interception for a touchdown, He's jumped

1544
01:23:57,200 --> 01:23:59,400
Speaker 5: up and put his hands in those passing lines before.

1545
01:23:59,439 --> 01:24:02,320
Speaker 5: We've seen it several practices and to see it in

1546
01:24:02,439 --> 01:24:06,800
Speaker 5: a game that mattered was amazing. Also, a guy that's

1547
01:24:06,920 --> 01:24:12,280
Speaker 5: worked hard this off season, put some great practices together,

1548
01:24:12,840 --> 01:24:15,559
Speaker 5: and I love that we're seeing it see up where.

1549
01:24:15,600 --> 01:24:19,080
Speaker 5: I love that we're seeing it happen during games. We

1550
01:24:19,240 --> 01:24:21,640
Speaker 5: need that from aj Apanessa. We need him to have

1551
01:24:21,840 --> 01:24:24,760
Speaker 5: a season where he's an impactful player, where he's a

1552
01:24:24,880 --> 01:24:29,480
Speaker 5: difference maker, and we saw that yesterday with that interception

1553
01:24:29,640 --> 01:24:32,040
Speaker 5: that he returned for a touchdown. Hopefully we see a

1554
01:24:32,080 --> 01:24:35,200
Speaker 5: little bit more of that going forward for in defensive

1555
01:24:35,280 --> 01:24:36,799
Speaker 5: lineman like aj Yeah.

1556
01:24:36,600 --> 01:24:38,760
Speaker 2: A heck of a way to get your first career

1557
01:24:38,800 --> 01:24:42,160
Speaker 2: interception score. That's going to be tough to beat. I

1558
01:24:42,240 --> 01:24:46,000
Speaker 2: hope he kept that football. I really do. Uh biggest

1559
01:24:46,120 --> 01:24:48,560
Speaker 2: fan in the stands. We're kind of going off the

1560
01:24:48,680 --> 01:24:50,800

1561
01:24:50,920 --> 01:24:51,800
Speaker 2: was I know where we're going.

1562
01:24:51,920 --> 01:24:53,160
Speaker 5: It was Taylor Swift.

1563
01:24:53,000 --> 01:24:55,839
Speaker 2: At the Chiefs game the internet yesterday.

1564
01:24:55,920 --> 01:24:57,559
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was all over the place. I'm so here

1565
01:24:57,640 --> 01:25:01,720
Speaker 5: for it. She was rocking that red lip. I want

1566
01:25:01,760 --> 01:25:03,400
Speaker 5: to see it on the internet. I want to see

1567
01:25:03,439 --> 01:25:05,040
Speaker 5: more of it. I want to know what she's doing

1568
01:25:05,160 --> 01:25:07,680
Speaker 5: for for the next Chiefs game, if she's going to

1569
01:25:07,720 --> 01:25:10,599
Speaker 5: be added or not. On the clip of them walking

1570
01:25:10,720 --> 01:25:14,519
Speaker 5: in the tunnel together after the game, it was from

1571
01:25:14,600 --> 01:25:17,920
Speaker 5: Walter Payton's son. There was a clip that went viral.

1572
01:25:18,040 --> 01:25:19,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, Jared Pamt tweeted it out.

1573
01:25:19,640 --> 01:25:22,599
Speaker 5: Jared Payton tweeted out right right right place, right time

1574
01:25:22,720 --> 01:25:26,040
Speaker 5: for him as well. I'm a fan of Taylor Swift.

1575
01:25:26,320 --> 01:25:27,960
Speaker 5: I'm a fan of this, so let's gea.

1576
01:25:29,040 --> 01:25:32,240
Speaker 2: This was big because all the rumors they're they're official now.

1577
01:25:32,439 --> 01:25:36,160
Speaker 2: I mean, she's in she's in the suite with Travis's mom.

1578
01:25:36,680 --> 01:25:40,040
Speaker 2: They're hanging out for the game. She's going nuts when

1579
01:25:40,080 --> 01:25:42,920
Speaker 2: he scores a touchdown and they walk out of the

1580
01:25:42,960 --> 01:25:46,840
Speaker 2: stadium together, although they weren't holding hands or anything, so

1581
01:25:46,920 --> 01:25:49,680
Speaker 2: maybe they're not there yet. But very oh chat. I

1582
01:25:49,680 --> 01:25:52,360
Speaker 2: didn't see the chess bop Tamas juniors are seeing the

1583
01:25:52,439 --> 01:25:53,880
Speaker 2: chess bump. I don't know who the guy is next

1584
01:25:53,920 --> 01:25:56,080
Speaker 2: to her that was watching the game with her. But

1585
01:25:56,160 --> 01:25:58,040
Speaker 2: then we saw the makes at the stadium on phone

1586
01:25:58,160 --> 01:26:02,040
Speaker 2: video in the bowels of Arrowhead. So yeah, this is

1587
01:26:02,120 --> 01:26:05,320
Speaker 2: bound to break the internet again and again with each

1588
01:26:05,360 --> 01:26:08,600
Speaker 2: successive week. If any signs of.

1589
01:26:10,160 --> 01:26:11,920
Speaker 5: Taylor the reporter, if.

1590
01:26:11,800 --> 01:26:15,160
Speaker 2: Any public displays of affection are caught on camera, those

1591
01:26:15,240 --> 01:26:19,880
Speaker 2: people are getting millions of dollars. Like the paparazzi population

1592
01:26:20,360 --> 01:26:23,639
Speaker 2: in Kansas City just went up like fifty percent because

1593
01:26:23,760 --> 01:26:26,120
Speaker 2: there is money to be made there with the right

1594
01:26:26,240 --> 01:26:27,960
Speaker 2: kind of photo for sure. All right, those are the

1595
01:26:28,000 --> 01:26:31,280
Speaker 2: Maddie Awards. Thanks for those, Maddie. We will get back

1596
01:26:31,320 --> 01:26:33,200
Speaker 2: to the phones, but we do have to take a

1597
01:26:33,320 --> 01:26:35,960
Speaker 2: break here Mark in New Jersey, Tim and Clarence, you

1598
01:26:36,000 --> 01:26:37,920
Speaker 2: guys will start us off when we return here on

1599
01:26:37,960 --> 01:26:40,519
Speaker 2: a Buffalo Football Monday. It's One Bill's Live presented by

1600
01:26:40,560 --> 01:26:55,280
Speaker 2: kill Lota Health. It's Buffalo Bill's Radio. All right, welcome

1601
01:26:55,280 --> 01:26:57,960
Speaker 2: back to one Bill's Live. As we close up our

1602
01:26:58,080 --> 01:27:00,160
Speaker 2: number two here with more of your phone calls and

1603
01:27:00,439 --> 01:27:03,360
Speaker 2: we go to market in New Jersey next. What's up Mark?

1604
01:27:04,920 --> 01:27:07,800
Speaker 12: How you guys doing it's an irresistible force means a

1605
01:27:07,840 --> 01:27:10,920
Speaker 12: movable object. Next week Bill's d versus that offense. But

1606
01:27:11,040 --> 01:27:13,880
Speaker 12: that that that outing was such an outlier. What is

1607
01:27:13,920 --> 01:27:17,200
Speaker 12: that the only the second seventy point game in NFL history?

1608
01:27:17,640 --> 01:27:20,360
Speaker 12: That team wanted after they went down by two scores.

1609
01:27:20,680 --> 01:27:23,920
Speaker 12: The body language on that team, they don't want to

1610
01:27:23,960 --> 01:27:27,240
Speaker 12: play for that head coach, that that he's an arrogant, brash,

1611
01:27:27,479 --> 01:27:32,439
Speaker 12: pompous guy who thinks he's the panacea, mister fix that. Yeah,

1612
01:27:32,479 --> 01:27:35,280
Speaker 12: those players are like, yeah, dude, watch this. Steve says

1613
01:27:35,320 --> 01:27:37,360
Speaker 12: it all the time. If you want players to put

1614
01:27:37,400 --> 01:27:40,080
Speaker 12: your body on the line, their blood, sweat, you got,

1615
01:27:40,120 --> 01:27:41,920
Speaker 12: there's a certain level of treatment you got to have.

1616
01:27:42,520 --> 01:27:45,680
Speaker 12: And you hear stories about that guy, and you know,

1617
01:27:45,760 --> 01:27:48,960
Speaker 12: I know, Mike McDaniel drows up great plays and you know,

1618
01:27:49,240 --> 01:27:51,840
Speaker 12: but it's going to be a different story. They were

1619
01:27:51,920 --> 01:27:55,559
Speaker 12: lucky to get out of LA with a win Week one.

1620
01:27:56,040 --> 01:27:58,080
Speaker 12: They got two hundred plus yards ran up on him

1621
01:27:58,080 --> 01:28:01,519
Speaker 12: and it wasn't for one of Brandon's dat Lea's great gas,

1622
01:28:02,600 --> 01:28:05,160
Speaker 12: you know, with his fourth down or taking a feel

1623
01:28:05,439 --> 01:28:06,960
Speaker 12: going for two. I don't know what he did. He

1624
01:28:07,520 --> 01:28:09,519
Speaker 12: went up for two points, or he opted for a

1625
01:28:09,560 --> 01:28:11,800
Speaker 12: field goal but it ended up costs in the game

1626
01:28:11,840 --> 01:28:14,400
Speaker 12: they lost by two points. Mac Jones had a ball

1627
01:28:14,439 --> 01:28:16,720
Speaker 12: with a chance to go down and tie it, or

1628
01:28:17,280 --> 01:28:19,879
Speaker 12: and you know, they did the whole cold, strange pitchback.

1629
01:28:20,479 --> 01:28:22,639
Speaker 12: So I think the Bills aren't a lot better spot

1630
01:28:22,720 --> 01:28:24,720
Speaker 12: than the national media is going to give him this week.

1631
01:28:25,840 --> 01:28:27,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, and they are favored by two and a half

1632
01:28:28,080 --> 01:28:32,559
Speaker 2: here at home, which kind of means the so called

1633
01:28:32,560 --> 01:28:36,720
Speaker 2: oddsmakers think it's essentially a Pickham type game. And I

1634
01:28:36,800 --> 01:28:40,160
Speaker 2: haven't looked at what they think the over under is

1635
01:28:40,200 --> 01:28:42,400
Speaker 2: going to be. I think it was fifty three, somebody

1636
01:28:42,520 --> 01:28:45,559
Speaker 2: told me, which would mean a game you're expecting if

1637
01:28:45,600 --> 01:28:47,720
Speaker 2: it's close, you know, to be in the mid to

1638
01:28:47,800 --> 01:28:51,240
Speaker 2: high twenties for both teams. So should be very interesting

1639
01:28:52,200 --> 01:28:55,640
Speaker 2: going forward. Let's squeeze Tim in Clarence Center in what

1640
01:28:55,720 --> 01:28:56,479
Speaker 2: do you got for his Tim?

1641
01:28:58,000 --> 01:28:58,200
Speaker 1: Yeah?

1642
01:28:58,320 --> 01:29:00,479
Speaker 10: Thanks Chris, and man, he was taking my call. Just

1643
01:29:00,560 --> 01:29:01,360
Speaker 10: three quick points.

1644
01:29:01,800 --> 01:29:02,280
Speaker 13: Number one.

1645
01:29:02,360 --> 01:29:05,320
Speaker 10: I mean, it's a great game. I'm grateful that we

1646
01:29:05,439 --> 01:29:08,400
Speaker 10: won in everything, like all your points, but number one,

1647
01:29:08,439 --> 01:29:10,439
Speaker 10: when it was I forgot when the quarter was, but

1648
01:29:10,520 --> 01:29:13,960
Speaker 10: it was fourth down and one and you see Philly

1649
01:29:14,040 --> 01:29:16,400
Speaker 10: do this a lot. They get five six guys and

1650
01:29:16,439 --> 01:29:18,280
Speaker 10: he's just bashing through it. We got a guy that's

1651
01:29:18,280 --> 01:29:20,519
Speaker 10: six foot five, two hundred and forty pounds and he

1652
01:29:20,600 --> 01:29:22,559
Speaker 10: throws it over the middle and they, you know, they

1653
01:29:22,640 --> 01:29:25,479
Speaker 10: blocked it. That that that was a bad call. I

1654
01:29:25,560 --> 01:29:28,479
Speaker 10: thought number one and the number two. I know Tyler

1655
01:29:28,560 --> 01:29:31,000
Speaker 10: Bass he made that fifty four yarder, but the way

1656
01:29:31,040 --> 01:29:33,680
Speaker 10: our defense was playing, I thought it would have been

1657
01:29:33,800 --> 01:29:36,200
Speaker 10: better to punt and then put him way down in

1658
01:29:36,240 --> 01:29:38,559
Speaker 10: a hole. Who we were playing so good? And number

1659
01:29:38,640 --> 01:29:40,599
Speaker 10: three I was listening to Freddy Jackson last night too,

1660
01:29:41,000 --> 01:29:43,960
Speaker 10: as well as we've played, we should have put that

1661
01:29:44,080 --> 01:29:46,760
Speaker 10: game away a lot sooner and then it would have,

1662
01:29:47,040 --> 01:29:48,760
Speaker 10: you know, taken a lot of starters out. So I'll

1663
01:29:48,800 --> 01:29:50,720
Speaker 10: hang up and listen to it. Thanks for taking my call.

1664
01:29:50,760 --> 01:29:51,639
Speaker 10: A great job, yeap.

1665
01:29:51,680 --> 01:29:53,600
Speaker 2: Why don't you take that first one there, Maddie. What

1666
01:29:53,720 --> 01:29:56,599
Speaker 2: he was saying about the fourth down? That fourth down

1667
01:29:56,640 --> 01:29:58,960
Speaker 2: they got tipped at the line of scrimmage, had Josh

1668
01:29:59,000 --> 01:30:00,920
Speaker 2: in the shotgun on four and short and he might

1669
01:30:01,000 --> 01:30:02,960
Speaker 2: be the best short yarders guy going.

1670
01:30:03,080 --> 01:30:05,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean you got to use your guy. And

1671
01:30:05,560 --> 01:30:08,400
Speaker 5: Josh Allen on fourth and short, and we see a

1672
01:30:08,479 --> 01:30:12,160
Speaker 5: lot you know, coaches calling for the offense to stay

1673
01:30:12,200 --> 01:30:14,240
Speaker 5: on the field on fourth and short because of what

1674
01:30:14,439 --> 01:30:17,960
Speaker 5: analytics say. And I think you can't look at that

1675
01:30:18,200 --> 01:30:20,360
Speaker 5: play and think it's going to be the same going

1676
01:30:20,520 --> 01:30:25,200
Speaker 5: forward for other scenarios that this team is in. But

1677
01:30:25,360 --> 01:30:27,720
Speaker 5: Tyler Bass, I mean, he had a great game, and

1678
01:30:28,520 --> 01:30:31,759
Speaker 5: hats off to being able to rely on a kicker

1679
01:30:32,000 --> 01:30:34,600
Speaker 5: like him. Not all of them were from fifty or

1680
01:30:34,680 --> 01:30:38,000
Speaker 5: more yards out, but I think that's something that doesn't

1681
01:30:38,000 --> 01:30:41,519
Speaker 5: get talked about enough and isn't a talking point out

1682
01:30:41,560 --> 01:30:43,680
Speaker 5: of a game like this, and I understand why, but

1683
01:30:44,000 --> 01:30:46,880
Speaker 5: for him to be able to have a few field

1684
01:30:46,960 --> 01:30:49,439
Speaker 5: goals and to be the guy that they can look

1685
01:30:49,560 --> 01:30:52,800
Speaker 5: to when you can't knock in six points but you

1686
01:30:52,920 --> 01:30:56,880
Speaker 5: can get a field goal, and he's shown time and

1687
01:30:57,000 --> 01:31:01,040
Speaker 5: time again why the Bills decided to draft him. He's

1688
01:31:01,080 --> 01:31:03,200
Speaker 5: an important piece for this team too. And I know

1689
01:31:03,360 --> 01:31:05,880
Speaker 5: going forward and thinking about this game that they're going

1690
01:31:05,960 --> 01:31:08,400
Speaker 5: to have against the Dolphins, you're probably gonna need six

1691
01:31:08,520 --> 01:31:10,880
Speaker 5: points way more than you're gonna need three points. But

1692
01:31:11,320 --> 01:31:14,840
Speaker 5: there may be drives that the Bills have next week

1693
01:31:14,920 --> 01:31:17,559
Speaker 5: where they have to rely on Tyler Bass for points

1694
01:31:17,640 --> 01:31:20,720
Speaker 5: and you can usually bet on him that that ball

1695
01:31:20,840 --> 01:31:22,559
Speaker 5: is going to go in right.

1696
01:31:22,920 --> 01:31:26,200
Speaker 2: And I also think what we have to remember too

1697
01:31:26,400 --> 01:31:29,479
Speaker 2: is Tyler Bass isn't just a kicker. The guy's a weapon.

1698
01:31:29,960 --> 01:31:32,200
Speaker 2: That's what coach McDermott called him yesterday. He's one hundred

1699
01:31:32,200 --> 01:31:35,360
Speaker 2: percent right. And I'm sure you'll probably know this, but

1700
01:31:35,960 --> 01:31:39,040
Speaker 2: and I'm referring to our caller. At the beginning of

1701
01:31:39,200 --> 01:31:43,600
Speaker 2: every half, Tyler Bass goes to his special teams coordinator,

1702
01:31:44,200 --> 01:31:47,800
Speaker 2: Coach Smiley, and he basically says, here's my line of demarcation.

1703
01:31:47,960 --> 01:31:52,600
Speaker 2: I'm good from the forty two yard line in and

1704
01:31:52,840 --> 01:31:55,519
Speaker 2: so that is relayed to the head coach so they

1705
01:31:55,600 --> 01:31:57,920
Speaker 2: can make proper decisions as to whether to go forward

1706
01:31:58,000 --> 01:32:01,920
Speaker 2: on fourth down punt or bring Tyler on for a kick.

1707
01:32:02,560 --> 01:32:05,840
Speaker 2: And seeing how easy that kick was from fifty four

1708
01:32:05,920 --> 01:32:09,880
Speaker 2: yards out yesterday, I would imagine that you know, he

1709
01:32:09,960 --> 01:32:12,839
Speaker 2: would be good from probably a little over sixty yards

1710
01:32:13,000 --> 01:32:16,160
Speaker 2: on grass there because there was no win to really

1711
01:32:16,240 --> 01:32:19,280
Speaker 2: speak of at the stadium yesterday. There was rain and

1712
01:32:19,360 --> 01:32:22,320
Speaker 2: the ball was slick, as was the field surface, so

1713
01:32:22,479 --> 01:32:27,000
Speaker 2: maybe that factors in, but there was no hesitation. Fifty

1714
01:32:27,040 --> 01:32:31,520
Speaker 2: four yards he's coming out because he's got a howitzer

1715
01:32:31,600 --> 01:32:34,800
Speaker 2: of a leg. And evidence of that was how easy

1716
01:32:34,880 --> 01:32:36,120
Speaker 2: he made that fifty four yarder.

1717
01:32:36,200 --> 01:32:36,400
Speaker 9: Look.

1718
01:32:36,800 --> 01:32:39,160
Speaker 2: And he's a weapon, and if you have a chance

1719
01:32:39,240 --> 01:32:41,920
Speaker 2: to use it and get points instead of giving it

1720
01:32:41,960 --> 01:32:45,360
Speaker 2: to the other team, you do it. And that just

1721
01:32:45,479 --> 01:32:47,599
Speaker 2: demonstrates the confidence they have in him. I think he's

1722
01:32:47,600 --> 01:32:50,040
Speaker 2: got more than ten fifty yard field goals already in

1723
01:32:50,120 --> 01:32:53,040
Speaker 2: his career. He had three and one game back in

1724
01:32:53,120 --> 01:32:57,759
Speaker 2: twenty twenty against Arizona, including his career long fifty eight yards.

1725
01:32:57,880 --> 01:33:02,200
Speaker 2: So it's just impressive the weapon that he is for

1726
01:33:02,439 --> 01:33:05,320
Speaker 2: the team. With regard to the fourth down play, I

1727
01:33:05,360 --> 01:33:09,599
Speaker 2: wasn't a fan of it either. I'm all about keeping

1728
01:33:09,680 --> 01:33:12,479
Speaker 2: things different and not going to the same old, same old.

1729
01:33:12,520 --> 01:33:15,080
Speaker 2: But if the same old, same old works seventy eight

1730
01:33:15,120 --> 01:33:17,840
Speaker 2: to eighty percent of the time, which is basically the

1731
01:33:17,920 --> 01:33:20,040
Speaker 2: Philly play that was referenced by the caller, they call

1732
01:33:20,080 --> 01:33:22,120
Speaker 2: it the Tush push because one of their fullbacks comes

1733
01:33:22,120 --> 01:33:25,240
Speaker 2: in and pushes Jalen Hurts from behind and you know,

1734
01:33:25,400 --> 01:33:27,840
Speaker 2: helps him over the line to gain for a first down.

1735
01:33:29,040 --> 01:33:29,960
Speaker 2: I would keep doing it.

1736
01:33:30,280 --> 01:33:31,280
Speaker 9: Do what if it works?

1737
01:33:31,800 --> 01:33:34,120
Speaker 2: No need to throw a wrinkle in there or change

1738
01:33:34,160 --> 01:33:36,479
Speaker 2: it up. So you got a two hundred and forty

1739
01:33:36,520 --> 01:33:39,479
Speaker 2: pound quarterback that stands six foot five, he can just

1740
01:33:39,600 --> 01:33:43,000
Speaker 2: fall down and get you a yard. So yeah, I

1741
01:33:43,240 --> 01:33:45,479
Speaker 2: know Eric Wood wasn't thrilled with that either. Speaking of

1742
01:33:45,640 --> 01:33:48,240
Speaker 2: Eric Wood, he is going to be joining us to

1743
01:33:48,320 --> 01:33:52,280
Speaker 2: begin our number three. The Bill's radio color analyst former

1744
01:33:52,400 --> 01:33:54,920
Speaker 2: Center will be with us next here on One Bill's

1745
01:33:54,960 --> 01:33:57,679
Speaker 2: Live presented by Colida Health. It's Buffalo Bills Radio.

1746
01:34:40,640 --> 01:34:45,560
Speaker 1: This is One Bills Live presented by Calllida Health.

1747
01:34:45,840 --> 01:34:49,000
Speaker 2: Our number three on a Buffalo victory Monday. Chris Brown,

1748
01:34:49,040 --> 01:34:51,800
Speaker 2: Maddy Glab with you One Bill's Live. Thanks for joining us,

1749
01:34:53,000 --> 01:34:57,400
Speaker 2: and we are pleased to bring in my broadcast partner

1750
01:34:57,520 --> 01:35:00,719
Speaker 2: on the Bills Radio Network. It is on Eric Wood

1751
01:35:00,800 --> 01:35:03,559
Speaker 2: joining us here as he does every Monday after Bill's games.

1752
01:35:03,600 --> 01:35:05,880
Speaker 2: And Eric, good to see you got back to your

1753
01:35:05,920 --> 01:35:10,920
Speaker 2: home safely last night. And we should probably begin here.

1754
01:35:11,160 --> 01:35:15,479
Speaker 2: We'll give plenty of due respect to your beloved offensive

1755
01:35:15,520 --> 01:35:18,960
Speaker 2: lineman in just a second. But it's hard to ignore

1756
01:35:19,080 --> 01:35:23,840
Speaker 2: the defensive performance with the number of splash plays yesterday

1757
01:35:24,400 --> 01:35:25,960
Speaker 2: almost too numerous to count.

1758
01:35:27,960 --> 01:35:30,639
Speaker 20: Yeah, the defense played incredible yesterday and it was from

1759
01:35:30,760 --> 01:35:34,240
Speaker 20: the first drive and it looked like Washington was gone.

1760
01:35:35,479 --> 01:35:38,439
Speaker 20: I hope this doesn't become a characteristic of this Bill's

1761
01:35:38,479 --> 01:35:42,040
Speaker 20: defense where they let Las Vegas go down the field

1762
01:35:42,080 --> 01:35:45,080
Speaker 20: and score. And then it looked like Washington yesterday was

1763
01:35:45,080 --> 01:35:48,240
Speaker 20: going to put together a scoring drive and Terrel Bernard

1764
01:35:48,360 --> 01:35:50,759
Speaker 20: wipes that one off the board with a really athletic

1765
01:35:50,840 --> 01:35:54,840
Speaker 20: interception and from there it was turnovers and sacks the

1766
01:35:55,000 --> 01:35:57,479
Speaker 20: rest of the day, and those guys were flying around

1767
01:35:57,560 --> 01:36:01,120
Speaker 20: having fun. The defensive line dominated the game, and yes

1768
01:36:01,240 --> 01:36:04,240
Speaker 20: they get nine sacks, but you know coach McDermott always

1769
01:36:04,240 --> 01:36:07,000
Speaker 20: talks about the pass rush and the coverage working hand

1770
01:36:07,080 --> 01:36:07,840
Speaker 20: in hand.

1771
01:36:08,160 --> 01:36:10,280
Speaker 9: And so yes, that does happen.

1772
01:36:10,360 --> 01:36:13,080
Speaker 20: But they were getting to Sam House so quick yesterday

1773
01:36:13,479 --> 01:36:16,320
Speaker 20: at times that it didn't matter. I mean, you could

1774
01:36:16,360 --> 01:36:19,280
Speaker 20: have I could have been standing out there. Coach might

1775
01:36:19,360 --> 01:36:21,679
Speaker 20: not like this comment, but I could have been standing

1776
01:36:21,720 --> 01:36:23,560
Speaker 20: out there at times in the secondary and that d

1777
01:36:23,720 --> 01:36:25,800
Speaker 20: line was still going to get home. I mean, they

1778
01:36:25,840 --> 01:36:29,720
Speaker 20: were playing extremely dominant. One of my favorite plays of

1779
01:36:29,880 --> 01:36:31,680
Speaker 20: the season, and we got to see a.

1780
01:36:31,680 --> 01:36:32,280
Speaker 9: Great view of it.

1781
01:36:32,360 --> 01:36:33,960
Speaker 20: We didn't get a great view of the entire game

1782
01:36:34,000 --> 01:36:37,640
Speaker 20: from our corner spot in the stadium, Chris, but we

1783
01:36:37,760 --> 01:36:41,040
Speaker 20: got a perfect view of Leonard Floyd's kind of running

1784
01:36:41,200 --> 01:36:44,719
Speaker 20: start on the play that he tied up the snap perfectly,

1785
01:36:45,120 --> 01:36:47,679
Speaker 20: and I'm assuming they had a beat on their cadence

1786
01:36:47,760 --> 01:36:49,960
Speaker 20: and once Sam how got in a rhythm they realized

1787
01:36:50,000 --> 01:36:52,639
Speaker 20: he wasn't mixing up the cadence, then that really helps

1788
01:36:52,680 --> 01:36:54,479
Speaker 20: a defensive line as well. There's no other way that

1789
01:36:55,040 --> 01:36:58,160
Speaker 20: you know, Leonard would be like three steps going down

1790
01:36:58,200 --> 01:37:00,760
Speaker 20: the line of scrimmage to then hitting a perfectly time

1791
01:37:00,920 --> 01:37:03,799
Speaker 20: jump on the snap. But yes, the defense, the defense

1792
01:37:03,880 --> 01:37:06,400
Speaker 20: was dominant. What I thought was interesting was, and Chris,

1793
01:37:06,439 --> 01:37:08,920
Speaker 20: throughout the game, I was calling them some of them

1794
01:37:08,960 --> 01:37:13,160
Speaker 20: pressures would be which would be bringing five guys, blitzes.

1795
01:37:12,800 --> 01:37:13,519
Speaker 9: Six or more.

1796
01:37:14,000 --> 01:37:16,680
Speaker 20: But as I watched more highlights of the game and

1797
01:37:16,880 --> 01:37:19,960
Speaker 20: analyze some of the analytics from the game, the Bills

1798
01:37:19,960 --> 01:37:23,679
Speaker 20: weren't even really blitzing. Oftentimes if they brought a linebacker,

1799
01:37:23,720 --> 01:37:26,080
Speaker 20: they were dropping someone out. So really just a four

1800
01:37:26,160 --> 01:37:28,160
Speaker 20: man rush for a majority of the game, which makes

1801
01:37:28,400 --> 01:37:30,880
Speaker 20: that performance even more dominant with non sacks.

1802
01:37:31,479 --> 01:37:35,040
Speaker 5: Eric, what impressed you most about Trell Bernard's performance and

1803
01:37:35,160 --> 01:37:37,759
Speaker 5: why can we expect more of it going forward.

1804
01:37:39,120 --> 01:37:41,799
Speaker 20: Well, I'll just say this, through three weeks, what impresses

1805
01:37:41,880 --> 01:37:44,880
Speaker 20: me most about him is how aggressive he is. He's

1806
01:37:44,960 --> 01:37:47,639
Speaker 20: aggressive to make plays. It's always safe for a middle

1807
01:37:47,680 --> 01:37:50,880
Speaker 20: linebacker to sit back behind his defensive tackles and make

1808
01:37:51,000 --> 01:37:53,360
Speaker 20: tackles at three to five yards down the field. And

1809
01:37:53,400 --> 01:37:55,840
Speaker 20: I'll say this from an offensive lineman. We don't game

1810
01:37:55,920 --> 01:37:58,280
Speaker 20: plan for guys like that. We're not worried about them.

1811
01:37:58,360 --> 01:38:01,759
Speaker 20: They you know, yes, they could be very solid players,

1812
01:38:01,800 --> 01:38:04,479
Speaker 20: but that's no one you have to worry about throughout

1813
01:38:04,560 --> 01:38:06,880
Speaker 20: the week. You know, if there's a guy that fires

1814
01:38:06,920 --> 01:38:10,000
Speaker 20: downhill like Milano and Bernard do okay, Now we have

1815
01:38:10,160 --> 01:38:13,040
Speaker 20: to say all week we're worried about okay, as we

1816
01:38:13,160 --> 01:38:15,720
Speaker 20: fit our double teams up front, you cannot let that

1817
01:38:15,800 --> 01:38:17,680
Speaker 20: guy blow past you. So then that helps out the

1818
01:38:17,760 --> 01:38:21,360
Speaker 20: defensive lineman because we can't double team as long because

1819
01:38:21,400 --> 01:38:24,920
Speaker 20: we're so worried about those guys making plays in the backfield. Plus,

1820
01:38:25,320 --> 01:38:28,400
Speaker 20: you know, in today's NFL you have to be athletic

1821
01:38:28,479 --> 01:38:30,519
Speaker 20: at linebacker if you want to be, you know, a

1822
01:38:30,600 --> 01:38:33,840
Speaker 20: top tier guy. Because of how often teams are throwing

1823
01:38:33,880 --> 01:38:36,719
Speaker 20: the football, the amount of speed on the field, eleven

1824
01:38:36,800 --> 01:38:40,040
Speaker 20: personnels the primary grouping in the NFL with three wide receivers,

1825
01:38:40,360 --> 01:38:43,800
Speaker 20: and Bernard came into this league with athleticism, and he's

1826
01:38:43,880 --> 01:38:47,840
Speaker 20: developing some instincts that are just going on display week

1827
01:38:47,880 --> 01:38:52,400
Speaker 20: after week week one. Okay, maybe miscommunications with some alignments.

1828
01:38:52,479 --> 01:38:55,280
Speaker 20: The first time calling plays, it was so loud there.

1829
01:38:55,640 --> 01:38:58,360
Speaker 20: You know, that's kind of stuff's gonna happen with a

1830
01:38:58,400 --> 01:39:01,559
Speaker 20: guy with his second start of his career. I believe

1831
01:39:01,600 --> 01:39:04,439
Speaker 20: he only had one start last year. But I mean,

1832
01:39:04,600 --> 01:39:07,960
Speaker 20: his instincts and his nose for the football is unmatched.

1833
01:39:08,000 --> 01:39:10,400
Speaker 20: And I heard someone ask him after the game, you know,

1834
01:39:10,520 --> 01:39:12,600
Speaker 20: with the interception, he has the fumbel recovery and it

1835
01:39:12,680 --> 01:39:14,639
Speaker 20: kind of pops right to him, and they say, hey,

1836
01:39:14,720 --> 01:39:16,720
Speaker 20: is that just a result of you know, sometimes the

1837
01:39:16,800 --> 01:39:20,559
Speaker 20: ball bounces your way, and yes, especially throwing the foot,

1838
01:39:20,600 --> 01:39:22,600
Speaker 20: you know, catching interceptions, they got to throw it to

1839
01:39:22,800 --> 01:39:26,880
Speaker 20: your area. But I'll say this, good things happen to

1840
01:39:27,000 --> 01:39:31,559
Speaker 20: defensive players that fly around constantly. If you're constantly pursuing

1841
01:39:31,600 --> 01:39:34,240
Speaker 20: the football, going one hundred miles an hour at all times,

1842
01:39:35,080 --> 01:39:37,320
Speaker 20: sometimes it just seems like the ball bounces your way,

1843
01:39:37,680 --> 01:39:40,000
Speaker 20: but it's simply based off your effort. I'm not saying

1844
01:39:40,080 --> 01:39:43,280
Speaker 20: he's going harder than anyone else. But that's something that

1845
01:39:43,439 --> 01:39:45,840
Speaker 20: is constantly talked about in that defensive media room with

1846
01:39:45,840 --> 01:39:48,320
Speaker 20: Sean McDermott. I remember when he first got there, a

1847
01:39:48,360 --> 01:39:50,560
Speaker 20: lot of the guys were complaining about what Sean and

1848
01:39:50,640 --> 01:39:54,160
Speaker 20: his staff were calling a loaf because you know, you

1849
01:39:54,240 --> 01:39:56,640
Speaker 20: could be completely out of the play, no chance of

1850
01:39:56,800 --> 01:39:59,680
Speaker 20: ever getting in on the play at all. You know,

1851
01:40:00,000 --> 01:40:01,599
Speaker 20: I was running out of bounds and you're coming from

1852
01:40:01,640 --> 01:40:04,760
Speaker 20: the other hash. Well, if you break your strad and

1853
01:40:04,840 --> 01:40:07,960
Speaker 20: start going slower boom, that's a loaf negative on the play.

1854
01:40:08,280 --> 01:40:10,040
Speaker 20: And I remember some of the guys it was an

1855
01:40:10,080 --> 01:40:13,840
Speaker 20: adjustment period. It hadn't been coached like that maybe in

1856
01:40:13,920 --> 01:40:16,080
Speaker 20: any place that some of these veterans had been at,

1857
01:40:16,439 --> 01:40:18,720
Speaker 20: but that's what Sean coaches. Will you draft a guy

1858
01:40:18,800 --> 01:40:22,320
Speaker 20: that's Alterell Bernard knows and he likely played like that beforehand.

1859
01:40:22,600 --> 01:40:24,800
Speaker 20: And I know this is a very long witted answer, but.

1860
01:40:24,880 --> 01:40:26,880
Speaker 9: I was really excited to talk about that young man.

1861
01:40:27,120 --> 01:40:32,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, we saw takeaways by Tredavius White and Micah Hyde.

1862
01:40:32,200 --> 01:40:35,160
Speaker 2: While it's always great to see that from them, it's

1863
01:40:35,280 --> 01:40:37,080
Speaker 2: kind of come to be expected with as long as

1864
01:40:37,120 --> 01:40:40,519
Speaker 2: they've been in Buffalo uniforms. Obviously coming off the injuries

1865
01:40:40,560 --> 01:40:43,320
Speaker 2: they had, it was encouraging to see it, nonetheless, but

1866
01:40:43,439 --> 01:40:46,680
Speaker 2: for aj Epanessa to make the play that he did yesterday,

1867
01:40:48,400 --> 01:40:50,479
Speaker 2: he's I think we all know he's had his share

1868
01:40:50,520 --> 01:40:54,200
Speaker 2: of detractors in his time in a Buffalo uniform, but

1869
01:40:54,400 --> 01:40:57,320
Speaker 2: you saw some subtle signs of it last year. In

1870
01:40:57,439 --> 01:41:00,200
Speaker 2: year three, he finishes the year very quietly with six

1871
01:41:00,240 --> 01:41:01,800
Speaker 2: and a half sacks. I think he was third on

1872
01:41:01,880 --> 01:41:06,720
Speaker 2: the team. And now you parlay that into this year,

1873
01:41:07,560 --> 01:41:10,200
Speaker 2: and Boogie Basham is the guy that ultimately gets traded

1874
01:41:10,240 --> 01:41:13,439
Speaker 2: at the end of the preseason in training camp and

1875
01:41:13,560 --> 01:41:16,920
Speaker 2: they ride with aj Epenessa, and right now through the

1876
01:41:16,960 --> 01:41:19,639
Speaker 2: first three weeks, that looks like the right decision.

1877
01:41:19,840 --> 01:41:24,320
Speaker 9: Eric. It does, and look, Boogie Basham.

1878
01:41:24,800 --> 01:41:27,360
Speaker 20: His strength was position flexibility, because you felt like he

1879
01:41:27,479 --> 01:41:29,040
Speaker 20: was big enough that you could put him at three

1880
01:41:29,160 --> 01:41:32,440
Speaker 20: technique and you don't necessarily say that about a Japanessa.

1881
01:41:32,479 --> 01:41:35,920
Speaker 20: But the Bills have plenty of depth that defensive tackle.

1882
01:41:35,960 --> 01:41:38,200
Speaker 20: They need a guy that can rush the edge, especially

1883
01:41:38,600 --> 01:41:42,120
Speaker 20: until Vaughan was going to come back. And look what

1884
01:41:42,320 --> 01:41:45,120
Speaker 20: they've asked aj and Panessa to do and lose some weight,

1885
01:41:45,320 --> 01:41:49,080
Speaker 20: become more of a not necessarily finesse player, but more

1886
01:41:49,080 --> 01:41:51,599
Speaker 20: of a speed guy than he was in college. That's

1887
01:41:51,800 --> 01:41:55,920
Speaker 20: that's an adjustment that takes time, and I'm hoping that

1888
01:41:56,479 --> 01:41:59,400
Speaker 20: here in I believe his fourth year that this is,

1889
01:41:59,640 --> 01:42:01,519
Speaker 20: you know, the year he just puts it all together.

1890
01:42:01,600 --> 01:42:04,519
Speaker 20: And you hate to say, you know, in a contract year,

1891
01:42:04,600 --> 01:42:06,920
Speaker 20: here he comes. You know he's going to make some plays.

1892
01:42:07,400 --> 01:42:11,439
Speaker 20: But you know, with that adjustment. In really his first

1893
01:42:11,520 --> 01:42:14,400
Speaker 20: year with the Bills, he was still playing a similar

1894
01:42:14,479 --> 01:42:16,920
Speaker 20: style that he did at Iowa, and since then it's

1895
01:42:16,960 --> 01:42:19,560
Speaker 20: been a different style of play they've asked him to do.

1896
01:42:20,080 --> 01:42:22,519
Speaker 20: And I just to me, you can tell a lot

1897
01:42:22,640 --> 01:42:25,040
Speaker 20: by the way the guys talk about someone else on

1898
01:42:25,160 --> 01:42:27,400
Speaker 20: the team and the way the rest of the guys

1899
01:42:28,000 --> 01:42:31,040
Speaker 20: rally around a jam panessa. You know, Josh Allen saying

1900
01:42:31,040 --> 01:42:32,840
Speaker 20: he makes plays like that all the time in practice,

1901
01:42:32,880 --> 01:42:34,160
Speaker 20: we were just waiting to see it in the game.

1902
01:42:34,680 --> 01:42:37,880
Speaker 9: To me, he's quietly making plays and.

1903
01:42:37,960 --> 01:42:40,040
Speaker 20: They may have not have shown up on tape yet

1904
01:42:40,160 --> 01:42:42,920
Speaker 20: they did yesterday, and we may see.

1905
01:42:42,720 --> 01:42:44,360
Speaker 9: A lot more of those moving forward this season.

1906
01:42:44,439 --> 01:42:46,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, because he also had the quarterback pressure on the

1907
01:42:46,640 --> 01:42:49,200
Speaker 2: Micah hyde interception exactly.

1908
01:42:49,400 --> 01:42:53,400
Speaker 20: And sometimes you know, I remember the Miami game last

1909
01:42:53,439 --> 01:42:56,360
Speaker 20: year down in Florida, maybe two years ago, I mean

1910
01:42:56,439 --> 01:42:56,960
Speaker 20: two years ago.

1911
01:42:57,080 --> 01:42:58,559
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, two years ago.

1912
01:42:58,640 --> 01:43:00,759
Speaker 20: He wrecked that game, and so he had has that ability,

1913
01:43:01,160 --> 01:43:02,799
Speaker 20: just got to do it on a consistent basis.

1914
01:43:03,560 --> 01:43:07,160
Speaker 5: Switching to things offensively, why did the offensive line have

1915
01:43:07,439 --> 01:43:10,160
Speaker 5: such a great game? Now they've put together two games

1916
01:43:10,920 --> 01:43:14,040
Speaker 5: in a row where they've had standout performances, And how

1917
01:43:14,120 --> 01:43:16,800
Speaker 5: do you see Aaron Kromer's coaching in all of this?

1918
01:43:18,160 --> 01:43:21,360
Speaker 9: Yeah, that's a great question. I'll say this. It's twofold one.

1919
01:43:21,479 --> 01:43:22,280
Speaker 9: It's game planning.

1920
01:43:22,600 --> 01:43:25,960
Speaker 20: And last week against Max Crosby, a lot of credit

1921
01:43:26,000 --> 01:43:28,320
Speaker 20: goes to Spencer Brown. He's got to execute within the

1922
01:43:28,360 --> 01:43:32,240
Speaker 20: game plan. But they paid attention to where Max Crosby

1923
01:43:32,439 --> 01:43:35,120
Speaker 20: was on every single snap. There was very few one

1924
01:43:35,200 --> 01:43:39,400
Speaker 20: on one pass rush reps against Max Crosby.

1925
01:43:39,520 --> 01:43:39,880
Speaker 9: Last week.

1926
01:43:39,960 --> 01:43:42,280
Speaker 20: It was a chip, it was presence, it was a rollout,

1927
01:43:42,360 --> 01:43:45,040
Speaker 20: it was Josh is gonna play off of him?

1928
01:43:45,720 --> 01:43:46,240
Speaker 9: This week?

1929
01:43:46,760 --> 01:43:49,400
Speaker 20: You have four guys like that, you know, four guys

1930
01:43:49,479 --> 01:43:52,439
Speaker 20: that individually you'd have to game plan for, and so

1931
01:43:52,680 --> 01:43:54,360
Speaker 20: you're gonna have to win some one on one so

1932
01:43:54,479 --> 01:43:56,599
Speaker 20: yesterday did a great job of winning one on ones.

1933
01:43:57,080 --> 01:43:59,960
Speaker 20: They got rid of the football quick early, and sometimes

1934
01:44:00,160 --> 01:44:03,559
Speaker 20: to a detriment. You know, their first down production wasn't great,

1935
01:44:04,400 --> 01:44:07,679
Speaker 20: especially in the first half. But you don't let those

1936
01:44:07,760 --> 01:44:11,000
Speaker 20: guys think that they can pass rush for three seconds

1937
01:44:11,040 --> 01:44:14,439
Speaker 20: on every play and it's de moralizing for a defensive line.

1938
01:44:15,000 --> 01:44:16,840
Speaker 20: You chip both the defensive ends, you get rid of

1939
01:44:16,880 --> 01:44:19,519
Speaker 20: the ball quick, and you think to yourself, I guess

1940
01:44:19,560 --> 01:44:21,280
Speaker 20: we're just not going to get home today and this

1941
01:44:21,479 --> 01:44:24,519
Speaker 20: isn't our day. And that game plan has worked through

1942
01:44:24,520 --> 01:44:27,560
Speaker 20: two weeks. But you also have had great individual performances.

1943
01:44:27,600 --> 01:44:30,800
Speaker 20: You have Osirens Torrents that we hardly even mentioned, which

1944
01:44:30,880 --> 01:44:33,640
Speaker 20: is a great thing when you're an offensive line and

1945
01:44:33,760 --> 01:44:37,320
Speaker 20: you rarely watch your name on a broadcast unless they're

1946
01:44:37,320 --> 01:44:40,120
Speaker 20: spotlighting you on the TV broadcast after a great pool

1947
01:44:40,280 --> 01:44:44,320
Speaker 20: or something. And then Mitch Morse model of consistency since

1948
01:44:44,360 --> 01:44:48,160
Speaker 20: he's been here in Buffalo. McGovern is showing early signs

1949
01:44:48,160 --> 01:44:51,120
Speaker 20: of paying off for the free agent acquisition. Dion Dawkins

1950
01:44:51,439 --> 01:44:54,400
Speaker 20: another very consistent player in his time in Buffalo. And

1951
01:44:54,479 --> 01:44:57,120
Speaker 20: then Spencer Brown a little bit of a roller coaster ride,

1952
01:44:57,600 --> 01:45:00,200
Speaker 20: a lot made of his struggles in Week one. I

1953
01:45:00,280 --> 01:45:03,439
Speaker 20: always say after the game, we can make some rash judgments.

1954
01:45:03,479 --> 01:45:05,280
Speaker 20: It's probably not as good or as bad as we

1955
01:45:05,400 --> 01:45:08,400
Speaker 20: feel in the moment, and looking back at the tape,

1956
01:45:08,479 --> 01:45:10,719
Speaker 20: it wasn't as bad as maybe we thought against the Jets.

1957
01:45:10,760 --> 01:45:13,559
Speaker 9: There's just some spotlighted highlights that you can see.

1958
01:45:14,160 --> 01:45:16,880
Speaker 20: And you know, this is a year with a full

1959
01:45:16,960 --> 01:45:19,599
Speaker 20: offseason of work for Spencer Brown. You know a lot

1960
01:45:19,760 --> 01:45:22,880
Speaker 20: was made off of that preseason game against Pittsburgh, but

1961
01:45:22,960 --> 01:45:25,200
Speaker 20: I'd like to see him continue to make stratz because

1962
01:45:25,240 --> 01:45:27,400
Speaker 20: these last couple of weeks or something he can build off.

1963
01:45:27,320 --> 01:45:30,479
Speaker 2: Of taking it a step further with the old line, Eric,

1964
01:45:30,600 --> 01:45:33,200
Speaker 2: you know, the run game is productive again this week

1965
01:45:33,520 --> 01:45:36,639
Speaker 2: against certainly a more formidable front than the Raiders brought

1966
01:45:36,680 --> 01:45:39,479
Speaker 2: to the table, and at the end of the day

1967
01:45:39,840 --> 01:45:42,559
Speaker 2: they average over five yards to carry, even though as

1968
01:45:42,600 --> 01:45:46,160
Speaker 2: you pointed out, first down wasn't the most productive down

1969
01:45:46,560 --> 01:45:50,320
Speaker 2: in this game on Sunday for them offensively. My question

1970
01:45:50,560 --> 01:45:54,960
Speaker 2: is do you think this run game has demonstrated enough

1971
01:45:55,080 --> 01:46:00,920
Speaker 2: productivity where opposing defenses. I guess what I'm getting at

1972
01:46:01,040 --> 01:46:03,080
Speaker 2: is last year, second half of the season, the run

1973
01:46:03,200 --> 01:46:06,600
Speaker 2: game was almost an afterthought and something to try to

1974
01:46:06,720 --> 01:46:10,280
Speaker 2: keep defenses honest. Now it's at a production level where

1975
01:46:10,680 --> 01:46:13,240
Speaker 2: I think it has to command attention from an opposing

1976
01:46:13,320 --> 01:46:16,040
Speaker 2: defense getting ready to play the bills I.

1977
01:46:16,160 --> 01:46:19,280
Speaker 20: Do, And it's different even on their shotgun runs. There's

1978
01:46:19,479 --> 01:46:22,800
Speaker 20: rarely ever a read element with Josh Allen. That's a

1979
01:46:22,960 --> 01:46:27,280
Speaker 20: totally different thing than we've seen over these last five six.

1980
01:46:27,240 --> 01:46:27,880
Speaker 9: Years with Josh.

1981
01:46:28,040 --> 01:46:30,120
Speaker 20: Every time he's in the shotgun. If you're handing off,

1982
01:46:30,160 --> 01:46:32,479
Speaker 20: why wouldn't you give him the read element? If the

1983
01:46:32,560 --> 01:46:34,160
Speaker 20: defensive end's not going to honor him, you can get

1984
01:46:34,200 --> 01:46:36,280
Speaker 20: him outside the pocket, let him run with it, and

1985
01:46:36,840 --> 01:46:39,120
Speaker 20: you're generally holding one of the defensive players on the

1986
01:46:39,560 --> 01:46:42,880
Speaker 20: back side. Josh is like, there's really no read element

1987
01:46:43,000 --> 01:46:44,720
Speaker 20: to a lot of this as well, which is good.

1988
01:46:44,760 --> 01:46:46,479
Speaker 20: You want to take those hits off him. You don't

1989
01:46:46,479 --> 01:46:49,240
Speaker 20: even want Josh to have the decision in those moments.

1990
01:46:49,320 --> 01:46:51,160
Speaker 20: Hey maybe I can go make the big play. Just

1991
01:46:51,520 --> 01:46:56,559
Speaker 20: take that one off his decision making board there. But yes,

1992
01:46:56,720 --> 01:47:00,360
Speaker 20: I do think the run game's coming along. A good

1993
01:47:00,439 --> 01:47:04,680
Speaker 20: run game in like one that's gonna last. Is they

1994
01:47:04,800 --> 01:47:07,400
Speaker 20: really produce in the second half. Sometimes it takes a

1995
01:47:07,439 --> 01:47:09,439
Speaker 20: while to wear on the defense, wear on the d line.

1996
01:47:09,680 --> 01:47:12,200
Speaker 20: In the last two weeks in particular, the run game

1997
01:47:12,280 --> 01:47:14,439
Speaker 20: has showed up in a big way in the second half.

1998
01:47:14,720 --> 01:47:16,759
Speaker 20: Those couple of years where we led the league in rushing,

1999
01:47:17,400 --> 01:47:19,680
Speaker 20: you know, we might only have eighty yards in the

2000
01:47:19,720 --> 01:47:22,759
Speaker 20: first half, but then once we've worn on the defense

2001
01:47:22,840 --> 01:47:25,000
Speaker 20: for a while, that's when we're getting our chunk plays

2002
01:47:25,040 --> 01:47:27,599
Speaker 20: in the second half. And you've seen those these last

2003
01:47:27,680 --> 01:47:29,920
Speaker 20: couple of weeks, and you know, James Cook is starting

2004
01:47:29,920 --> 01:47:31,880
Speaker 20: to get some notoriety around the league right now. I

2005
01:47:31,960 --> 01:47:35,160
Speaker 20: saw a couple of articles written on national articles today

2006
01:47:35,200 --> 01:47:37,479
Speaker 20: about you know, the amount of touches that they're getting

2007
01:47:37,720 --> 01:47:38,639
Speaker 20: giving him right now.

2008
01:47:39,080 --> 01:47:40,920
Speaker 9: And that was one of the concerns going into the season.

2009
01:47:40,960 --> 01:47:43,479
Speaker 20: You know, everyone's worried about fantasy football, is James cooking

2010
01:47:43,479 --> 01:47:46,519
Speaker 20: and getting enough touches? And right now he's he's carrying

2011
01:47:46,520 --> 01:47:47,439
Speaker 20: a pretty big workload.

2012
01:47:47,880 --> 01:47:50,600
Speaker 5: What do you take away from Josh Allen's ability to

2013
01:47:50,800 --> 01:47:53,519
Speaker 5: kind of marry week one in week two together. And

2014
01:47:53,720 --> 01:47:56,320
Speaker 5: you see some of the conservativeness there, you see him

2015
01:47:56,400 --> 01:48:00,000
Speaker 5: slide yesterday, but you also see those off script play

2016
01:48:00,360 --> 01:48:02,599
Speaker 5: that win his way, that that throw that he had

2017
01:48:02,680 --> 01:48:04,680
Speaker 5: to digs early on in the game and then that

2018
01:48:04,800 --> 01:48:07,360
Speaker 5: big touchdown pass that he had to gave Davis. What

2019
01:48:07,479 --> 01:48:09,599
Speaker 5: do you make of his performance from yesterday?

2020
01:48:10,680 --> 01:48:12,280
Speaker 9: Yeah, I thought it was great. I thought he did

2021
01:48:12,360 --> 01:48:12,840
Speaker 9: what he had to do.

2022
01:48:12,960 --> 01:48:14,640
Speaker 20: He had that interception, and me and Chris talked a

2023
01:48:14,680 --> 01:48:16,679
Speaker 20: lot about in the broadcast that shouldn't have happened.

2024
01:48:16,760 --> 01:48:19,680
Speaker 9: That it shouldn't happened for a number of reasons. We

2025
01:48:19,760 --> 01:48:20,360
Speaker 9: talked about it.

2026
01:48:20,720 --> 01:48:24,320
Speaker 20: If there's not the Davis drop and then the penalty,

2027
01:48:24,760 --> 01:48:27,400
Speaker 20: then Josh doesn't feel like, Hey, I'm just gonna throw

2028
01:48:27,439 --> 01:48:28,400
Speaker 20: this one down the field.

2029
01:48:28,520 --> 01:48:29,840
Speaker 9: Gabe will probably break it up.

2030
01:48:30,360 --> 01:48:32,800
Speaker 20: And I'm not blaming Gabe for not breaking that ball

2031
01:48:32,880 --> 01:48:34,680
Speaker 20: up on Fuller on the interception, because I don't think

2032
01:48:34,680 --> 01:48:36,200
Speaker 20: he was in a great position to even break it up.

2033
01:48:36,280 --> 01:48:38,439
Speaker 20: But you know, Josh and his mindset is I'll give

2034
01:48:38,479 --> 01:48:40,280
Speaker 20: my guy a shot down the field. And one of

2035
01:48:40,320 --> 01:48:43,000
Speaker 20: the things I love about Josh is Josh isn't worried

2036
01:48:43,040 --> 01:48:43,759
Speaker 20: about the stats.

2037
01:48:43,840 --> 01:48:47,120
Speaker 9: Josh is worried about wins. So you know, would his

2038
01:48:47,240 --> 01:48:48,759
Speaker 9: quarterback rating been higher.

2039
01:48:48,520 --> 01:48:51,360
Speaker 20: Would his touchdown interception on the season ratio on the

2040
01:48:51,360 --> 01:48:53,840
Speaker 20: season be better if he didn't throw that interception to Gabe. Yeah,

2041
01:48:54,240 --> 01:48:58,080
Speaker 20: but you know, making that throw, you know it still

2042
01:48:58,120 --> 01:49:00,519
Speaker 20: pins him inside the twenty. It's essentially pun But you

2043
01:49:00,600 --> 01:49:02,519
Speaker 20: give yourself a chance to get down there, you check

2044
01:49:02,600 --> 01:49:04,760
Speaker 20: that ball down and you punt it. You might not

2045
01:49:04,840 --> 01:49:06,920
Speaker 20: give them the same field position. You don't give yourself

2046
01:49:06,960 --> 01:49:08,960
Speaker 20: a chance to make the play. Josh, is you know,

2047
01:49:09,040 --> 01:49:11,559
Speaker 20: willing to make those plays? But yeah, I mean yesterday

2048
01:49:11,600 --> 01:49:13,280
Speaker 20: you had a couple slides which they made a joke

2049
01:49:13,320 --> 01:49:16,280
Speaker 20: about in the post game, which is funny, but I

2050
01:49:16,360 --> 01:49:19,120
Speaker 20: was glad to see it because he didn't take much

2051
01:49:19,200 --> 01:49:20,280
Speaker 20: contact yesterday.

2052
01:49:20,680 --> 01:49:23,040
Speaker 9: But yeah, I think as this season goes on, he's

2053
01:49:23,080 --> 01:49:24,599
Speaker 9: gonna continue to develop.

2054
01:49:25,080 --> 01:49:27,599
Speaker 20: Okay, when it's time to be a gun slinger, it's

2055
01:49:27,600 --> 01:49:29,599
Speaker 20: time to be a gun slinger. And when it's time

2056
01:49:29,680 --> 01:49:31,640
Speaker 20: to just play within the restrictions of the offense and

2057
01:49:31,720 --> 01:49:35,519
Speaker 20: make the smart decision, that's what we're gonna do there, all.

2058
01:49:35,479 --> 01:49:38,479
Speaker 2: Right, So let's spin it forward. It's Miami Week, Eric,

2059
01:49:38,760 --> 01:49:42,000
Speaker 2: and it carries a little different meaning now because with

2060
01:49:42,120 --> 01:49:44,960
Speaker 2: too a healthy and we know that the Dolphins gave

2061
01:49:45,000 --> 01:49:48,840
Speaker 2: the Bills all they could handle last year, and now

2062
01:49:49,160 --> 01:49:53,759
Speaker 2: it takes on I think an even bigger headline because

2063
01:49:53,800 --> 01:49:58,559
Speaker 2: it is quite literally Sean McDermott calling a defense against

2064
01:49:58,640 --> 01:50:02,719
Speaker 2: Mike McDaniel calling offense. It is literally head coach versus

2065
01:50:02,840 --> 01:50:05,800
Speaker 2: head coaching this thing when the Dolphins offense is on

2066
01:50:05,920 --> 01:50:10,760
Speaker 2: the field. Would you call that the most intriguing part

2067
01:50:10,800 --> 01:50:12,880
Speaker 2: of this thing because there's a lot to choose from here.

2068
01:50:16,080 --> 01:50:17,479
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean, I don't.

2069
01:50:17,720 --> 01:50:20,080
Speaker 20: I mean, there's just so much. I mean, you know,

2070
01:50:20,640 --> 01:50:22,640
Speaker 20: is two of their guys moving forward? Sure looks like

2071
01:50:22,680 --> 01:50:25,600
Speaker 20: it right now. Can he stay healthy this year for

2072
01:50:25,720 --> 01:50:30,080
Speaker 20: this individual game? You know, how do you stop this offense?

2073
01:50:30,160 --> 01:50:33,200
Speaker 20: They're on historic paces. You know, they put up seventy

2074
01:50:33,320 --> 01:50:35,760
Speaker 20: last week against the Broncos. How do you how can

2075
01:50:35,840 --> 01:50:39,360
Speaker 20: you possibly stop them? Okay, well, you know we'll see

2076
01:50:39,800 --> 01:50:43,320
Speaker 20: And yeah, so that's that's a great storyline in this one.

2077
01:50:43,840 --> 01:50:46,840
Speaker 20: And what the Dolphins are doing right now, speed wise,

2078
01:50:47,040 --> 01:50:50,599
Speaker 20: creativity wise, with their play calling, the execution with Tua.

2079
01:50:51,120 --> 01:50:53,120
Speaker 9: I mean, they're extremely tough right now.

2080
01:50:53,240 --> 01:50:56,920
Speaker 20: And you know, Tyreek Hills, you know, when I see

2081
01:50:57,000 --> 01:50:58,880
Speaker 20: him run routes right now, I feel like he's getting

2082
01:50:58,920 --> 01:51:01,719
Speaker 20: fair the older he gets, faster he gets And maybe

2083
01:51:01,760 --> 01:51:03,400
Speaker 20: I just took it for granted over the years, and

2084
01:51:04,360 --> 01:51:05,840
Speaker 20: you know, you see it early in the season every

2085
01:51:05,880 --> 01:51:07,560
Speaker 20: year and you don't realize how fast he is. But

2086
01:51:07,600 --> 01:51:09,920
Speaker 20: they have weapons all over the place. You got to

2087
01:51:10,000 --> 01:51:12,120
Speaker 20: try and take advantage of that offensive line. You got

2088
01:51:12,240 --> 01:51:14,000
Speaker 20: to get your hands up bat a few balls. But

2089
01:51:14,080 --> 01:51:17,080
Speaker 20: it's like an I mean, people are sitting there. I'm

2090
01:51:17,120 --> 01:51:19,040
Speaker 20: not saying they're saying the exact same thing about the

2091
01:51:19,120 --> 01:51:23,360
Speaker 20: Bills with creativity and maybe top end speed everywhere. But

2092
01:51:23,680 --> 01:51:25,479
Speaker 20: when you look at this Bills roster and you're trying

2093
01:51:25,479 --> 01:51:27,840
Speaker 20: to game plan for their offense, you're thinking, you know,

2094
01:51:28,920 --> 01:51:30,080
Speaker 20: how do we take everything away?

2095
01:51:30,960 --> 01:51:33,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, and when you look at this matchup between the

2096
01:51:33,320 --> 01:51:35,760
Speaker 5: Bills and the Dolphins, and you look at what the

2097
01:51:35,800 --> 01:51:38,479
Speaker 5: Bills did the last two weeks against the Raiders and

2098
01:51:38,600 --> 01:51:40,920
Speaker 5: the Commanders, you would like to think, hey, there's things

2099
01:51:41,000 --> 01:51:43,599
Speaker 5: we can take from these two games, from these two

2100
01:51:43,680 --> 01:51:47,400
Speaker 5: wins and implement there against the Dolphins. But I know,

2101
01:51:47,800 --> 01:51:50,000
Speaker 5: you know, time after time we hear players say it's

2102
01:51:50,120 --> 01:51:52,720
Speaker 5: it's kind of hard to do that because every game

2103
01:51:52,840 --> 01:51:56,400
Speaker 5: has its different nuances. Every game has a different quarterback,

2104
01:51:56,600 --> 01:51:59,080
Speaker 5: different offense, different defense. But I ask you, as a

2105
01:51:59,160 --> 01:52:02,200
Speaker 5: former player, what can they take from those two games?

2106
01:52:02,280 --> 01:52:04,840
Speaker 5: Can they can they take anything there to help them

2107
01:52:05,200 --> 01:52:07,200
Speaker 5: in a big game against the Dolphins on Sunday.

2108
01:52:08,520 --> 01:52:10,840
Speaker 20: Yeah, I think you can grab some confidence from the

2109
01:52:10,920 --> 01:52:14,040
Speaker 20: last two games, because maybe your confidence waivers a touch

2110
01:52:14,120 --> 01:52:16,200
Speaker 20: after Week one, and then you go and blow two

2111
01:52:16,240 --> 01:52:18,519
Speaker 20: teams out and back to back weeks, which blowouts don't

2112
01:52:18,560 --> 01:52:21,599
Speaker 20: happen often in the NFL, you know, they just truly don't.

2113
01:52:21,760 --> 01:52:24,519
Speaker 20: And so you have two dominant victories where you were

2114
01:52:24,600 --> 01:52:27,680
Speaker 20: balanced on offense and dominant on defense. Okay, well we

2115
01:52:27,800 --> 01:52:31,280
Speaker 20: have confidence, like, yes, are the Dolphins playing extremely good

2116
01:52:31,280 --> 01:52:32,000
Speaker 20: football right now?

2117
01:52:32,120 --> 01:52:33,719
Speaker 9: Yes, but so are the Bills.

2118
01:52:33,800 --> 01:52:35,160
Speaker 20: And that's why the Bills are a two and a

2119
01:52:35,200 --> 01:52:37,360
Speaker 20: half point favorite at home right now. You know, we

2120
01:52:37,439 --> 01:52:40,479
Speaker 20: could talk about how formidable this Dolphins offense looks, but

2121
01:52:41,439 --> 01:52:44,040
Speaker 20: as Vegas sees it, the Bills are still favored. And

2122
01:52:44,080 --> 01:52:46,840
Speaker 20: I understand they're at home and that's worth anywhere from

2123
01:52:47,040 --> 01:52:50,800
Speaker 20: two to five points, depending on what the circumstances are.

2124
01:52:51,240 --> 01:52:54,280
Speaker 9: But the Bills have a very good football team.

2125
01:52:54,760 --> 01:52:57,040
Speaker 20: And even as you watch those Miami highlights for those

2126
01:52:57,120 --> 01:52:59,280
Speaker 20: that aren't just listening on the radio, I mean, the

2127
01:53:00,080 --> 01:53:02,280
Speaker 20: they hung seventy points, but at times it looked like

2128
01:53:02,320 --> 01:53:04,880
Speaker 20: the Broncos weren't trying. Yeah, I mean there was so

2129
01:53:05,040 --> 01:53:07,879
Speaker 20: many mistackles and no one pursuing the football.

2130
01:53:08,160 --> 01:53:11,160
Speaker 9: Do you have to tackle against this team? Absolutely, you

2131
01:53:11,320 --> 01:53:13,360
Speaker 9: have to tackle against the Dolphins because they have so

2132
01:53:13,479 --> 01:53:15,599
Speaker 9: much speed. But there's been.

2133
01:53:15,520 --> 01:53:17,920
Speaker 20: Teams you know, you get those guys on the ground,

2134
01:53:17,960 --> 01:53:22,000
Speaker 20: make them substained drives, you know they have a negative play.

2135
01:53:22,439 --> 01:53:26,200
Speaker 20: Something happens. Now you're forcing punch, you're forcing turnovers. And

2136
01:53:26,800 --> 01:53:28,519
Speaker 20: you know that's the mindset of the Bills. They're not

2137
01:53:28,560 --> 01:53:30,599
Speaker 20: going to watch that Denver game and say, oh my gosh,

2138
01:53:31,240 --> 01:53:32,880
Speaker 20: we have no way of stopping this team.

2139
01:53:33,439 --> 01:53:37,719
Speaker 2: I don't want to make a sweeping generalization about the Dolphins' offense,

2140
01:53:37,800 --> 01:53:43,519
Speaker 2: but generally, when you have offenses rooted in speed and finesse,

2141
01:53:44,720 --> 01:53:48,040
Speaker 2: a lot of times, the way that some teams approach

2142
01:53:48,240 --> 01:53:51,800
Speaker 2: teams that are that high powered and that quick is

2143
01:53:51,880 --> 01:53:55,280
Speaker 2: with a measure of physicality. We've heard, you know, coach

2144
01:53:55,360 --> 01:53:58,559
Speaker 2: McDermott before talk about how he wants a little bit

2145
01:53:58,600 --> 01:54:02,280
Speaker 2: of nastiness in his defensive unit, and we've seen them

2146
01:54:02,360 --> 01:54:06,080
Speaker 2: play physical the last couple of weeks. I'm just wondering

2147
01:54:06,120 --> 01:54:09,960
Speaker 2: if there's there's a tone setting opportunity early in this game.

2148
01:54:10,760 --> 01:54:13,200
Speaker 2: You know, if the Bills defense comes out and really

2149
01:54:13,280 --> 01:54:14,120
Speaker 2: tries to sock.

2150
01:54:14,000 --> 01:54:17,400
Speaker 20: It to them here, there definitely is And you know,

2151
01:54:17,560 --> 01:54:21,559
Speaker 20: this is a defense that Mike McDaniel decided the playoff

2152
01:54:21,640 --> 01:54:24,479
Speaker 20: game or maybe in the Snow Game that he was

2153
01:54:24,479 --> 01:54:25,880
Speaker 20: going to run the ball down their throat with a

2154
01:54:25,920 --> 01:54:28,400
Speaker 20: fullback for the majority of the game under center, and

2155
01:54:28,600 --> 01:54:31,839
Speaker 20: so he puts Terry you know motion, put Teraron Johnson

2156
01:54:31,880 --> 01:54:34,880
Speaker 20: in the box and lead up big old alex Ingold

2157
01:54:34,960 --> 01:54:37,440
Speaker 20: on him. And they did that over and over. So

2158
01:54:37,520 --> 01:54:40,080
Speaker 20: they tried to play smash mouth football with the Bills

2159
01:54:40,240 --> 01:54:44,280
Speaker 20: in the Snow game. And so when I look at

2160
01:54:44,320 --> 01:54:46,320
Speaker 20: this and yes, yes, the Bills are going to have

2161
01:54:46,440 --> 01:54:49,280
Speaker 20: to play physical against them. That's that's the key. And

2162
01:54:49,400 --> 01:54:52,280
Speaker 20: I think it's playing physical up front. You have to

2163
01:54:52,440 --> 01:54:56,280
Speaker 20: keep your linebackers. They do a lot of shotgun you know,

2164
01:54:56,400 --> 01:54:59,040
Speaker 20: there's exchange deals going on the back, a lot of

2165
01:54:59,080 --> 01:54:59,880
Speaker 20: smoke and mirrors.

2166
01:55:00,480 --> 01:55:02,560
Speaker 9: But you can't come down hill as a linebacker.

2167
01:55:02,640 --> 01:55:04,600
Speaker 20: You kind of have to stay in that, you know,

2168
01:55:04,720 --> 01:55:07,520
Speaker 20: that mid tier, that second level of the defense, because

2169
01:55:07,560 --> 01:55:10,200
Speaker 20: the crossing routes are what's killing teams right now. And

2170
01:55:11,240 --> 01:55:13,040
Speaker 20: the Chargers thought they had to figured out last year

2171
01:55:13,040 --> 01:55:15,720
Speaker 20: and played really well against Miami forcing everything to the outside,

2172
01:55:15,760 --> 01:55:17,560
Speaker 20: and then they got smoked this year as well.

2173
01:55:17,560 --> 01:55:18,320
Speaker 2: On the outside.

2174
01:55:18,440 --> 01:55:23,080
Speaker 9: So yeah, exactly, And so you have to win up front.

2175
01:55:23,080 --> 01:55:24,760
Speaker 9: You got to be able to stop the run up front.

2176
01:55:24,800 --> 01:55:27,400
Speaker 20: And yes, your linebackers are gonna come downhill and make

2177
01:55:27,520 --> 01:55:31,120
Speaker 20: plays like normal, but you can't trigger too fast or

2178
01:55:31,160 --> 01:55:33,120
Speaker 20: else you're gonna have a ton of speed coming across

2179
01:55:33,160 --> 01:55:34,960
Speaker 20: the middle of the fields. You almost have to distort

2180
01:55:35,040 --> 01:55:39,200
Speaker 20: some of your your quick trigger nicks that just bragged

2181
01:55:39,240 --> 01:55:42,560
Speaker 20: on Milano and Bernard about especially early on in this game,

2182
01:55:43,000 --> 01:55:45,840
Speaker 20: I'd expect to see those linebackers sitting just a touch deeper,

2183
01:55:46,360 --> 01:55:48,120
Speaker 20: you know, maybe a second or so into the play,

2184
01:55:48,720 --> 01:55:50,440
Speaker 20: so that they can stay in those passing lanes.

2185
01:55:50,440 --> 01:55:50,840
Speaker 9: Because I was.

2186
01:55:50,840 --> 01:55:54,240
Speaker 20: Watching Denver yesterday and you know, you got Hill running

2187
01:55:54,240 --> 01:55:55,240
Speaker 20: across the middle of the defense.

2188
01:55:55,280 --> 01:55:57,480
Speaker 9: He's got eight yards of open space.

2189
01:55:57,560 --> 01:55:59,320
Speaker 20: And we could talk about how great two is playing,

2190
01:55:59,360 --> 01:56:03,480
Speaker 20: and he is playing very well, but those are easy.

2191
01:56:03,280 --> 01:56:03,800
Speaker 2: Throws to make.

2192
01:56:04,440 --> 01:56:06,680
Speaker 5: These two teams went toe to toe last season, I

2193
01:56:06,720 --> 01:56:09,040
Speaker 5: would expect it would be much of the same this

2194
01:56:09,240 --> 01:56:11,280
Speaker 5: year as well. What do you think about this renewed

2195
01:56:11,440 --> 01:56:14,280
Speaker 5: rivalry between the Dolphins and the Bills.

2196
01:56:15,600 --> 01:56:16,080
Speaker 9: It's fun.

2197
01:56:16,400 --> 01:56:20,040
Speaker 20: I mean when I was here, neither the Patriots ran

2198
01:56:20,080 --> 01:56:23,000
Speaker 20: away with the division every year, and then it still

2199
01:56:23,200 --> 01:56:25,800
Speaker 20: was how even as my career ended I got into

2200
01:56:26,320 --> 01:56:28,360
Speaker 20: media work with the Bills, it was how do we

2201
01:56:28,480 --> 01:56:30,880
Speaker 20: how does everyone knock off the Patriots? Well, now these

2202
01:56:30,960 --> 01:56:35,200
Speaker 20: last couple of years, these Bills Dolphins, this is Bill's

2203
01:56:35,240 --> 01:56:36,440
Speaker 20: Dolphins rivalry is back.

2204
01:56:36,480 --> 01:56:37,040
Speaker 9: I'll tell you what.

2205
01:56:37,400 --> 01:56:39,920
Speaker 20: That game in South Florida last year, it was about

2206
01:56:39,960 --> 01:56:43,560
Speaker 20: fifty percent Bills fans in the stadium. I've never seen

2207
01:56:44,040 --> 01:56:47,640
Speaker 20: more animosity between fan bases leaving that game. That was

2208
01:56:47,720 --> 01:56:49,840
Speaker 20: a game that I decided I will never bring my

2209
01:56:49,960 --> 01:56:52,880
Speaker 20: kids to a Bills Dolphins game in Miami. I am

2210
01:56:52,920 --> 01:56:55,680
Speaker 20: bringing them to the game this week in Buffalo, and

2211
01:56:56,080 --> 01:56:58,360
Speaker 20: they may be in the booth with us if we

2212
01:56:58,480 --> 01:57:01,160
Speaker 20: have to protect them, Chris, and we'll let the crowd

2213
01:57:01,240 --> 01:57:05,040
Speaker 20: die out before we take off. But had that game

2214
01:57:05,120 --> 01:57:08,400
Speaker 20: down there, I was like, okay, in this most of

2215
01:57:08,440 --> 01:57:10,720
Speaker 20: the people that are, you know, buying tickets to a

2216
01:57:10,760 --> 01:57:11,400
Speaker 20: game down there.

2217
01:57:11,320 --> 01:57:13,879
Speaker 9: They're the people that grew up through the rivalry.

2218
01:57:14,080 --> 01:57:16,320
Speaker 20: And so I got to see it in full force

2219
01:57:16,440 --> 01:57:19,440
Speaker 20: last year and it's real and it's some of these

2220
01:57:19,480 --> 01:57:23,760
Speaker 20: younger players don't appreciate how good these two franchises were

2221
01:57:24,320 --> 01:57:26,400
Speaker 20: for a prolonged period of time in the battles that

2222
01:57:26,480 --> 01:57:26,800
Speaker 20: they had.

2223
01:57:27,840 --> 01:57:30,200
Speaker 2: Eric, thanks as always, we appreciate it. We'll catch up

2224
01:57:30,200 --> 01:57:31,520
Speaker 2: with you soon here. It's gonna be a heck of

2225
01:57:31,560 --> 01:57:32,720
Speaker 2: a game on Sunday for sure.

2226
01:57:33,760 --> 01:57:35,440
Speaker 9: Yeah, absolutely, my pleasure looking forward to it.

2227
01:57:35,520 --> 01:57:38,160
Speaker 2: All right. That's Eric Wood, Bill's radio color analyst on

2228
01:57:38,200 --> 01:57:42,480
Speaker 2: the Bills Radio Network, also former Bill Center for nine seasons,

2229
01:57:42,560 --> 01:57:47,440
Speaker 2: former first round pickback in two thousand and nine. Yeah,

2230
01:57:48,640 --> 01:57:50,680
Speaker 2: this is going to be an interesting week, Manny. We're gonna,

2231
01:57:51,000 --> 01:57:52,640
Speaker 2: I don't know if we're gonna get tired of talking

2232
01:57:52,680 --> 01:57:55,280
Speaker 2: about this thing. Because the anticipation and the build up

2233
01:57:55,400 --> 01:57:59,040
Speaker 2: based on the performances of these two teams yesterday, I

2234
01:57:59,120 --> 01:58:03,680
Speaker 2: think is only did everything up all the more. And

2235
01:58:04,400 --> 01:58:08,839
Speaker 2: I think very early on this season, what was perceived

2236
01:58:08,960 --> 01:58:11,760
Speaker 2: as maybe a three horse race in the division has

2237
01:58:11,840 --> 01:58:15,160
Speaker 2: already been whittled down to two, you know, with the

2238
01:58:15,280 --> 01:58:18,000
Speaker 2: Rogers injury kind of putting the Jets off on the

2239
01:58:18,040 --> 01:58:20,080
Speaker 2: wayside or the back burner or whatever you want to

2240
01:58:20,120 --> 01:58:23,760
Speaker 2: call it. So now it's like, is there probably the

2241
01:58:23,800 --> 01:58:25,960
Speaker 2: two teams we're looking at and this is the first

2242
01:58:26,000 --> 01:58:28,640
Speaker 2: time people are going to be able to measure one

2243
01:58:28,880 --> 01:58:30,040
Speaker 2: against the other. Yeah.

2244
01:58:30,200 --> 01:58:33,040
Speaker 5: I mean, it's two twenty eight on Monday afternoon, and

2245
01:58:33,120 --> 01:58:36,120
Speaker 5: we are very much talking about this game on Sunday

2246
01:58:36,160 --> 01:58:39,440
Speaker 5: afternoon because there's going to be so much anticipation for

2247
01:58:39,520 --> 01:58:41,920
Speaker 5: it there already is. I came in here this morning

2248
01:58:42,000 --> 01:58:43,560
Speaker 5: and the first thing that I did is started to

2249
01:58:43,560 --> 01:58:46,200
Speaker 5: look up stats on both teams to see where they

2250
01:58:46,360 --> 01:58:49,440
Speaker 5: rank against each other so far through three games. I mean,

2251
01:58:50,400 --> 01:58:54,160
Speaker 5: it's exciting because you're getting We talked about last week,

2252
01:58:54,200 --> 01:58:57,760
Speaker 5: we talked about this Commander's Bills game being a measuring

2253
01:58:57,880 --> 01:59:00,320
Speaker 5: stick game for the Commanders and where they they are

2254
01:59:00,360 --> 01:59:03,160
Speaker 5: at because they were heading into yesterday's game two and

2255
01:59:03,240 --> 01:59:04,960
Speaker 5: oh with the chance to be three and oh and

2256
01:59:05,200 --> 01:59:07,200
Speaker 5: this being a good test for them early on in

2257
01:59:07,240 --> 01:59:10,320
Speaker 5: the season. This is a measuring stick game for both

2258
01:59:10,400 --> 01:59:12,880
Speaker 5: of these teams here in week four, to see where

2259
01:59:12,960 --> 01:59:15,920
Speaker 5: each other are at. And it's act one of a

2260
01:59:16,040 --> 01:59:19,200
Speaker 5: two part series that you're gonna get between these two teams.

2261
01:59:19,480 --> 01:59:21,600
Speaker 5: You get it now, and you're gonna get it later on,

2262
01:59:21,800 --> 01:59:24,280
Speaker 5: and you might even get it in the playoffs again.

2263
01:59:25,360 --> 01:59:28,680
Speaker 2: Best reality television money can buy for sure. We've got

2264
01:59:28,760 --> 01:59:30,960
Speaker 2: to take a break here. When we come back, it's

2265
01:59:31,040 --> 01:59:33,520
Speaker 2: time to go around the Locker Room. You'll be able

2266
01:59:33,520 --> 01:59:36,600
Speaker 2: to hear from Josh Allen, Sean McDermott, Torell Bernard and

2267
01:59:37,040 --> 01:59:41,320
Speaker 2: others on the monster defensive performance and the blowout victory

2268
01:59:41,440 --> 01:59:43,640
Speaker 2: over the Commanders. That's next here on One Bill's Live.

2269
01:59:43,680 --> 01:59:52,400
Speaker 2: Stay tuned, Welcome back to one Bill's Live, where it's

2270
01:59:52,480 --> 01:59:55,600
Speaker 2: time for Around the Locker Room, presented by Connect Life.

2271
01:59:55,760 --> 02:00:00,320
Speaker 2: Connect Life is your blood and organ donor network, and

2272
02:00:00,600 --> 02:00:04,320
Speaker 2: we begin with Josh Allen, who for the second straight week,

2273
02:00:04,920 --> 02:00:08,200
Speaker 2: was throwing bouquets to his offensive line.

2274
02:00:09,920 --> 02:00:13,920
Speaker 21: They played fantastic obviously, that's a fantastic front that we faced.

2275
02:00:14,360 --> 02:00:16,680
Speaker 21: All four of those guys can absolutely go and uh,

2276
02:00:16,880 --> 02:00:18,960
Speaker 21: it was a good test for us, and I'm glad

2277
02:00:19,400 --> 02:00:22,400
Speaker 21: things went obviously the way that they went, but just

2278
02:00:22,480 --> 02:00:24,920
Speaker 21: utilizing our game plan, getting some move the pocket stuff,

2279
02:00:25,240 --> 02:00:27,600
Speaker 21: switching up where we're throwing the football, trying to stay

2280
02:00:27,600 --> 02:00:28,080
Speaker 21: two dimension.

2281
02:00:28,120 --> 02:00:29,480
Speaker 9: I thought coach Dorsey did a good job with.

2282
02:00:29,480 --> 02:00:32,800
Speaker 2: That tonight, staying two dimensional. And you know, we talked

2283
02:00:32,800 --> 02:00:35,160
Speaker 2: about the run game today, but maybe more important Maddie

2284
02:00:35,360 --> 02:00:39,040
Speaker 2: was how they have game planned to help the guys

2285
02:00:39,280 --> 02:00:41,200
Speaker 2: on the edges, although Dion was in a lot of

2286
02:00:41,240 --> 02:00:43,520
Speaker 2: one on one on one situations with Chase Young and

2287
02:00:43,560 --> 02:00:46,560
Speaker 2: did a masterful job. But they've used backs to chip

2288
02:00:46,640 --> 02:00:49,160
Speaker 2: We saw that last week. They've used the tight ends

2289
02:00:49,200 --> 02:00:52,200
Speaker 2: to help out and it's making an enormous difference. It's

2290
02:00:52,200 --> 02:00:53,440
Speaker 2: two straight weeks with no sex.

2291
02:00:53,520 --> 02:00:55,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, I was gonna say, it makes life a lot

2292
02:00:55,240 --> 02:00:57,600
Speaker 5: easier when you have people that can help on the

2293
02:00:57,720 --> 02:01:01,880
Speaker 5: offensive line. It's it's the offensive line doing a great job,

2294
02:01:02,360 --> 02:01:04,680
Speaker 5: for sure, but it's also the help that they're able

2295
02:01:04,720 --> 02:01:07,080
Speaker 5: to get from running backs and from the tight ends.

2296
02:01:07,120 --> 02:01:09,120
Speaker 5: And I think we're gonna see a lot more of

2297
02:01:09,200 --> 02:01:11,600
Speaker 5: that going forward. When you have, you know, when you're

2298
02:01:11,680 --> 02:01:13,880
Speaker 5: running two tight end sets a lot, when you have

2299
02:01:14,080 --> 02:01:16,760
Speaker 5: twelve personnel a lot, When you have more than one

2300
02:01:16,840 --> 02:01:20,160
Speaker 5: tight end that's capable of blocking, that allows you to

2301
02:01:20,280 --> 02:01:22,600
Speaker 5: do a lot of things on offense, and it buys

2302
02:01:23,400 --> 02:01:26,360
Speaker 5: time for your quarterback to make the right decisions.

2303
02:01:26,920 --> 02:01:31,280
Speaker 2: So as encouraging as the offensive line performance was, they

2304
02:01:31,360 --> 02:01:35,040
Speaker 2: were upstaged by a defensive performance that was pretty much

2305
02:01:35,640 --> 02:01:40,320
Speaker 2: wire to wire with five takeaways, nine sacks, including a

2306
02:01:40,440 --> 02:01:44,640
Speaker 2: defensive touchdown and a goal line stand. I don't know

2307
02:01:44,720 --> 02:01:47,080
Speaker 2: that they could have done much more, and the guy

2308
02:01:47,280 --> 02:01:49,800
Speaker 2: calling the plays for the defense was pretty pleased with

2309
02:01:49,840 --> 02:01:51,240
Speaker 2: the performance after the game.

2310
02:01:52,560 --> 02:01:54,600
Speaker 22: I think the defensive line really set the tone for

2311
02:01:54,760 --> 02:01:58,400
Speaker 22: us upfront. They did a great job impacting the inside

2312
02:01:58,400 --> 02:02:02,080
Speaker 22: of the pocket there in particular, and we just saw

2313
02:02:02,160 --> 02:02:04,800
Speaker 22: some things that we felt like there'd be some opportunities

2314
02:02:04,880 --> 02:02:06,920
Speaker 22: for us, and we took advantage.

2315
02:02:06,560 --> 02:02:07,360
Speaker 9: Of those opportunities.

2316
02:02:07,640 --> 02:02:09,880
Speaker 16: Sean, with your linebacker position, It's something we've talked to

2317
02:02:09,880 --> 02:02:11,960
Speaker 16: you in the past about about splash place and the

2318
02:02:12,040 --> 02:02:13,120
Speaker 16: need for splash plays.

2319
02:02:13,520 --> 02:02:15,400
Speaker 15: I mean, can you ask for more?

2320
02:02:15,800 --> 02:02:16,640
Speaker 9: Is it even possible?

2321
02:02:17,680 --> 02:02:17,800
Speaker 11: Uh?

2322
02:02:17,920 --> 02:02:22,520
Speaker 22: Yeah, it is, But no, I'm extremely proud of the guys.

2323
02:02:22,560 --> 02:02:26,240
Speaker 22: They really worked hard this week in practice. They do

2324
02:02:26,360 --> 02:02:30,360
Speaker 22: every week, but our scout team, if you guys do

2325
02:02:30,480 --> 02:02:32,800
Speaker 22: a phenomenal job. I mean, you guys are out there practice.

2326
02:02:33,680 --> 02:02:35,720
Speaker 22: I don't think anybody practices as hard as we do

2327
02:02:36,000 --> 02:02:38,360
Speaker 22: in terms of the competitive nature of our practices on

2328
02:02:38,400 --> 02:02:42,240
Speaker 22: Wednesdays and Thursdays in particular, and I think that's when

2329
02:02:42,280 --> 02:02:44,960
Speaker 22: you when you have those habits, you can give yourself

2330
02:02:44,960 --> 02:02:45,919
Speaker 22: a chance on Sundays.

2331
02:02:46,760 --> 02:02:50,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know, we coach talked about how well

2332
02:02:50,240 --> 02:02:54,240
Speaker 2: the scout team did last week in preparing the Bills

2333
02:02:54,280 --> 02:02:55,840
Speaker 2: for some of the matchups they were going to have

2334
02:02:55,960 --> 02:02:59,560
Speaker 2: with the Raiders, and you know, you had to kind

2335
02:02:59,560 --> 02:03:02,080
Speaker 2: of duplic okay, what that defensive line can do for

2336
02:03:02,320 --> 02:03:04,800
Speaker 2: Washington to get the offensive line ready for that game.

2337
02:03:04,880 --> 02:03:08,080
Speaker 2: And based on the performance, I would say tip of

2338
02:03:08,120 --> 02:03:09,320
Speaker 2: the hat to the scout team again.

2339
02:03:09,640 --> 02:03:13,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm definitely fifteen quarterback hits by the defense as

2340
02:03:13,360 --> 02:03:15,800
Speaker 5: well a part of those nine sacks of big number

2341
02:03:15,960 --> 02:03:18,080
Speaker 5: from that group, and you're gonna need that in this

2342
02:03:18,240 --> 02:03:22,160
Speaker 5: week's performance against the Dolphins. In this week's game against

2343
02:03:22,240 --> 02:03:25,480
Speaker 5: the Dolphins, and Eric Wood brought it up already those

2344
02:03:25,560 --> 02:03:28,800
Speaker 5: two linebackers Matt Mlana and Treil Bernard could be huge

2345
02:03:29,080 --> 02:03:31,320
Speaker 5: in the game plan end of things, because he said,

2346
02:03:31,360 --> 02:03:35,520
Speaker 5: those crossing routes is what's killing defenses with what Miami

2347
02:03:35,720 --> 02:03:37,919
Speaker 5: is able to do. But when you have two athletic

2348
02:03:38,040 --> 02:03:40,720
Speaker 5: linebackers like Matt Mlana and Trel Bernard, they might be

2349
02:03:40,800 --> 02:03:42,440
Speaker 5: able to muck it up a little bit in there.

2350
02:03:42,640 --> 02:03:46,040
Speaker 2: Yeah. Speaking of Bernard, he was asked about his banner

2351
02:03:46,160 --> 02:03:49,440
Speaker 2: day on Defense a career day, probably his best day

2352
02:03:49,640 --> 02:03:52,800
Speaker 2: as a professional. Here is Buffalo's middle linebacker.

2353
02:03:53,920 --> 02:03:55,840
Speaker 23: I think, you know, starting off just with the scheme

2354
02:03:56,000 --> 02:03:58,320
Speaker 23: and what we're doing every week with coach mcgarmott. He's

2355
02:03:58,320 --> 02:04:00,760
Speaker 23: putting us in, you know, great positions to you know,

2356
02:04:00,840 --> 02:04:03,360
Speaker 23: affect the quarterback with you know, the d line up

2357
02:04:03,360 --> 02:04:06,320
Speaker 23: front and then in the back end, you know, putting

2358
02:04:06,360 --> 02:04:08,240
Speaker 23: us in spots to make play the same thing with Bobby,

2359
02:04:09,280 --> 02:04:12,080
Speaker 23: he's been he's been incredible, you know, going through all

2360
02:04:12,120 --> 02:04:16,160
Speaker 23: types of route combinations, awareness of the sticks, awareness of

2361
02:04:16,400 --> 02:04:17,960
Speaker 23: you know, who they want the ball to go to.

2362
02:04:18,800 --> 02:04:21,040
Speaker 23: So I feel like, you know, all those things combined

2363
02:04:21,320 --> 02:04:22,360
Speaker 23: has really really helped.

2364
02:04:23,880 --> 02:04:27,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, no surprise to Aaron. Bobby Babbage is the new

2365
02:04:27,440 --> 02:04:30,960
Speaker 2: linebackers coach this year, taking over for his dad, Bob

2366
02:04:31,000 --> 02:04:33,840
Speaker 2: Babbage Senior, as he moved from the secondary to the

2367
02:04:33,920 --> 02:04:37,320
Speaker 2: linebacker level. And the early returns are pretty darn good

2368
02:04:37,400 --> 02:04:38,800
Speaker 2: on Darrell Bernard.

2369
02:04:38,520 --> 02:04:42,400
Speaker 5: Here, yep, splash plays out of your linebackers. That's what

2370
02:04:42,560 --> 02:04:44,200
Speaker 5: you want to see. You want to see that out

2371
02:04:44,240 --> 02:04:46,920
Speaker 5: of both of them. They've both been involved in the

2372
02:04:47,000 --> 02:04:51,800
Speaker 5: game so far with the interceptions, multiple interceptions, and again

2373
02:04:52,000 --> 02:04:54,920
Speaker 5: it'll be big going forward. When you have a middle

2374
02:04:55,000 --> 02:04:58,600
Speaker 5: of the defense that offenses and offensive lines have to

2375
02:04:58,800 --> 02:05:03,400
Speaker 5: account for, you're just that much more strong, You're just

2376
02:05:03,520 --> 02:05:05,839
Speaker 5: that much more unpredictable on defense.

2377
02:05:06,040 --> 02:05:09,920
Speaker 2: There was a point in yesterday's game and I mentioned

2378
02:05:09,920 --> 02:05:13,720
Speaker 2: it on the broadcast after Bernard got his interception, which

2379
02:05:13,800 --> 02:05:16,720
Speaker 2: was the first of the game. The Bills had four

2380
02:05:16,800 --> 02:05:20,040
Speaker 2: interceptions on the season, all four of them by lineback,

2381
02:05:20,960 --> 02:05:22,960
Speaker 2: and then Michaeh Hyde and Tredavius White got in on

2382
02:05:23,000 --> 02:05:24,800
Speaker 2: the act. So they have two for the DBS and

2383
02:05:25,080 --> 02:05:28,120
Speaker 2: Ajpanessa has one for the defensive line. It's going to

2384
02:05:28,160 --> 02:05:30,520
Speaker 2: be a pretty interesting three horse race there between the

2385
02:05:30,560 --> 02:05:33,360
Speaker 2: front line, the second line in the back line in

2386
02:05:33,480 --> 02:05:36,080
Speaker 2: terms of who winds up with the most ants at

2387
02:05:36,120 --> 02:05:40,440
Speaker 2: the rate we're going here. Ajpinessa was also there at

2388
02:05:40,440 --> 02:05:43,000
Speaker 2: the postgame podium, as you saw on the last SoundBite

2389
02:05:43,040 --> 02:05:47,320
Speaker 2: with Terrell Bernard for those of our viewers watching on MSG,

2390
02:05:48,200 --> 02:05:51,680
Speaker 2: and he was asked to speak on the ability to

2391
02:05:51,840 --> 02:05:56,200
Speaker 2: create turnovers with a young quarterback like Sam Howell.

2392
02:05:57,240 --> 02:05:59,160
Speaker 9: Especially with a young quarterback like yourself.

2393
02:05:59,200 --> 02:06:01,680
Speaker 6: You know, he he's still learning a little bit, trying

2394
02:06:01,680 --> 02:06:04,600
Speaker 6: to whether that's the disguises of the defense or recognizing

2395
02:06:04,600 --> 02:06:08,240
Speaker 6: coverages and his thought process or whatever that is for

2396
02:06:08,360 --> 02:06:10,600
Speaker 6: him to make him have to try and take another

2397
02:06:10,640 --> 02:06:12,800
Speaker 6: second to try and break it down. That's our chance

2398
02:06:12,880 --> 02:06:15,120
Speaker 6: to continue working and continue getting after him and make

2399
02:06:15,160 --> 02:06:16,280
Speaker 6: him uncomfortable.

2400
02:06:16,360 --> 02:06:20,080
Speaker 2: And make him uncomfortable they did. Micah Hyde rounds out

2401
02:06:20,160 --> 02:06:23,600
Speaker 2: our trip around the locker room here as he talked

2402
02:06:23,640 --> 02:06:27,120
Speaker 2: about how the pass rush and the coverage worked hand

2403
02:06:27,160 --> 02:06:29,760
Speaker 2: in hand yesterday to spark those five takeaways.

2404
02:06:30,960 --> 02:06:33,920
Speaker 24: Those those boys up front just continuing to hunt, and uh,

2405
02:06:34,120 --> 02:06:35,160
Speaker 24: it's it's awesome to see.

2406
02:06:35,800 --> 02:06:35,960
Speaker 17: I was.

2407
02:06:36,120 --> 02:06:38,360
Speaker 24: I was telling J Pogers out there, I had a

2408
02:06:38,880 --> 02:06:41,440
Speaker 24: it looks like I didn't even play today by all

2409
02:06:41,520 --> 02:06:43,840
Speaker 24: white Jersey's not even not even dirty, just because those

2410
02:06:43,840 --> 02:06:45,520
Speaker 24: guys upront would just get out to the quarterback and

2411
02:06:46,640 --> 02:06:51,280
Speaker 24: it was just awesome to see your interception. Uh yeah, Uh,

2412
02:06:51,480 --> 02:06:55,320
Speaker 24: Sean got up a good play. Awesome play back came

2413
02:06:55,400 --> 02:06:58,080
Speaker 24: out quick. I thought I had him covered and so

2414
02:06:58,920 --> 02:07:01,440
Speaker 24: quarterback through. I'm I'm I didn't stare on my feet,

2415
02:07:02,040 --> 02:07:03,360
Speaker 24: you know. To me, I feel like that should have

2416
02:07:03,360 --> 02:07:06,280
Speaker 24: been a pick six. But it's awesome, good takeaway and

2417
02:07:06,360 --> 02:07:08,320
Speaker 24: give the ball to the offense. Will go Feld position

2418
02:07:08,320 --> 02:07:10,760
Speaker 24: before half, but I gotta finish that one.

2419
02:07:11,320 --> 02:07:13,800
Speaker 2: It's interesting that he said that because Eric and I

2420
02:07:13,960 --> 02:07:16,240
Speaker 2: were wondering the same thing. We were thinking to ourselves,

2421
02:07:16,280 --> 02:07:19,000
Speaker 2: why did he jump like he was right there. We

2422
02:07:19,120 --> 02:07:21,200
Speaker 2: didn't feel like he had to jump to make the

2423
02:07:21,320 --> 02:07:24,280
Speaker 2: iron t but he did and then lost his footing

2424
02:07:24,320 --> 02:07:26,240
Speaker 2: as a result, so he didn't have an opportunity to

2425
02:07:26,280 --> 02:07:28,200
Speaker 2: return it was there was nobody in front of him.

2426
02:07:28,240 --> 02:07:30,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, he was just so pumped. He saw the opportunity.

2427
02:07:30,920 --> 02:07:33,400
Speaker 5: It was his chance to get an interception. He had

2428
02:07:33,440 --> 02:07:34,720
Speaker 5: to go up in the air and grab it.

2429
02:07:35,000 --> 02:07:38,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, and again it's pressure by Epanessa that forces that

2430
02:07:38,560 --> 02:07:41,560
Speaker 2: early throw and it's a bad decision at the end

2431
02:07:41,600 --> 02:07:44,640
Speaker 2: of the day for Howell obviously. And I think the

2432
02:07:44,720 --> 02:07:47,520
Speaker 2: Bills got was that the touchdown for Murray? They got

2433
02:07:47,560 --> 02:07:49,280
Speaker 2: off of that turnover or was it a field goal?

2434
02:07:49,320 --> 02:07:51,120
Speaker 2: Either way, they got points off that drive. And when

2435
02:07:51,120 --> 02:07:54,720
Speaker 2: all is said and done, twenty four of the thirty

2436
02:07:54,760 --> 02:08:00,280
Speaker 2: seven points off takeaways in yesterday's victory. That is around

2437
02:08:00,280 --> 02:08:03,800
Speaker 2: the Locker Room presented by connect Life, your blood and

2438
02:08:04,200 --> 02:08:08,720
Speaker 2: organ donor network. We want to get to the tweet

2439
02:08:08,720 --> 02:08:11,080
Speaker 2: sheet because we haven't an opportunity to crack that open.

2440
02:08:11,120 --> 02:08:12,800
Speaker 2: Today with all the phone calls, we got a tweets

2441
02:08:12,800 --> 02:08:14,920
Speaker 2: sheet brought to you by Corgan Moving Systems, the official

2442
02:08:14,960 --> 02:08:19,240
Speaker 2: equipment moving system of the Buffalo Bills, and Robin says,

2443
02:08:19,840 --> 02:08:24,040
Speaker 2: full blown Terrell Bernard apologist here. That man is, pound

2444
02:08:24,080 --> 02:08:29,520
Speaker 2: for pound, a straight up beast, instinctive, relentless, intelligence, supreme.

2445
02:08:29,800 --> 02:08:33,360
Speaker 2: Oh my exclamation point. Yeah, I think we've extolled the

2446
02:08:33,440 --> 02:08:37,080
Speaker 2: virtues of Torel Bernard on today's show. Enough today, so

2447
02:08:37,240 --> 02:08:40,600
Speaker 2: we'll move along to Tad, who says, biggest takeaway from

2448
02:08:40,640 --> 02:08:43,360
Speaker 2: today for me is that the Dolphins won't be scoring

2449
02:08:43,480 --> 02:08:48,160
Speaker 2: seventy on us. If they score more than twenty, I'll

2450
02:08:48,200 --> 02:08:51,400
Speaker 2: be surprised we shut down the Dolphins this week and

2451
02:08:51,520 --> 02:08:54,440
Speaker 2: create a tie at the top of the AFC East

2452
02:08:54,480 --> 02:08:56,520
Speaker 2: at three and one. That is some bold talk there

2453
02:08:57,400 --> 02:09:03,360
Speaker 2: from Tad. Twenty point that seems like a tall order. YEP.

2454
02:09:03,840 --> 02:09:08,480
Speaker 5: The Dolphins offense is averaging forty three point three points

2455
02:09:08,520 --> 02:09:11,480
Speaker 5: per game, but the defense, the Bills defense is second

2456
02:09:11,560 --> 02:09:15,040
Speaker 5: in the NFL, allowing eleven point seven points per game.

2457
02:09:15,120 --> 02:09:17,760
Speaker 5: So maybe they do meet somewhere in the middle around

2458
02:09:17,800 --> 02:09:20,680
Speaker 5: the twenty point area. I think that'd be great for

2459
02:09:20,840 --> 02:09:23,160
Speaker 5: the Bills. And there was a stat that came out

2460
02:09:23,400 --> 02:09:27,320
Speaker 5: leading up to yesterday's game saying that the Bills since

2461
02:09:27,520 --> 02:09:30,680
Speaker 5: the start of twenty twenty lead the NFL in points

2462
02:09:30,800 --> 02:09:32,560
Speaker 5: scored and points allowed.

2463
02:09:33,600 --> 02:09:36,080
Speaker 2: They're gonna have to do that on Sunday if they

2464
02:09:36,160 --> 02:09:38,200
Speaker 2: hold them somewhere in the low twenties. I feel very

2465
02:09:38,280 --> 02:09:41,600
Speaker 2: good about the Bills posting a victory. I just think

2466
02:09:41,680 --> 02:09:43,400
Speaker 2: that's a that's a tall task, but we'll see if

2467
02:09:43,400 --> 02:09:45,600
Speaker 2: they can pull it off. Dinah on the tweets sheet

2468
02:09:45,640 --> 02:09:48,280
Speaker 2: says either the Commanders had a bad day, are not

2469
02:09:48,440 --> 02:09:50,880
Speaker 2: a very good team, or the only team that will

2470
02:09:50,920 --> 02:09:56,680
Speaker 2: defeat the Bills is the Bills. And I'm I'm inclined

2471
02:09:56,680 --> 02:09:58,840
Speaker 2: to go with your last point there because we've said

2472
02:09:58,880 --> 02:10:01,520
Speaker 2: it many times. The only times the Bills lose football

2473
02:10:01,560 --> 02:10:05,920
Speaker 2: games is when they help their opponent beat them with miscues, mistakes, giveaways,

2474
02:10:06,000 --> 02:10:09,480
Speaker 2: whatever it is. They often have to help their opponent

2475
02:10:09,560 --> 02:10:12,120
Speaker 2: beat the Bills, and still they barely beat them. They

2476
02:10:12,240 --> 02:10:13,440
Speaker 2: usually only beat them by a score.

2477
02:10:13,760 --> 02:10:16,200
Speaker 5: Yeah. Tasker and I talk about that quite a bit

2478
02:10:16,360 --> 02:10:19,640
Speaker 5: leading up to postgame shows when the Bills are in

2479
02:10:19,760 --> 02:10:22,640
Speaker 5: a tough one and after that week one game. You

2480
02:10:22,800 --> 02:10:25,640
Speaker 5: look back at it, and it's the Bills get in

2481
02:10:25,720 --> 02:10:29,160
Speaker 5: tough situations when they start to beat themselves. This team

2482
02:10:29,280 --> 02:10:33,360
Speaker 5: is so good, They've been good for multiple years. They

2483
02:10:33,480 --> 02:10:37,120
Speaker 5: know how to win games, but usually losses end up

2484
02:10:37,160 --> 02:10:40,400
Speaker 5: being on them and some the things that happen throughout

2485
02:10:40,440 --> 02:10:43,000
Speaker 5: the game rather than the other team just flat out

2486
02:10:43,080 --> 02:10:45,320
Speaker 5: beating them because they're so dang good.

2487
02:10:45,840 --> 02:10:48,680
Speaker 2: Right, we are up against the clock here, so we

2488
02:10:48,800 --> 02:10:50,920
Speaker 2: have to step aside and take a break when we

2489
02:10:51,040 --> 02:10:53,480
Speaker 2: come back. Some final thoughts on the tweetsheet here on

2490
02:10:53,520 --> 02:10:56,560
Speaker 2: a Buffalo victory Monday on one Bill's Live presented by

2491
02:10:56,600 --> 02:11:11,760
Speaker 2: Colida Health, It's Buffalo Bills Radio. Some final thoughts here

2492
02:11:11,840 --> 02:11:14,400
Speaker 2: on the tweet sheet, Andrew says the biggest takeaway I

2493
02:11:14,480 --> 02:11:18,280
Speaker 2: took from that game was Sean McDermott's aggressive defensive play

2494
02:11:18,360 --> 02:11:22,160
Speaker 2: calling aimen to that not a lot of blitz calls

2495
02:11:22,520 --> 02:11:26,840
Speaker 2: simulated pressure, and I think there was some mixed in

2496
02:11:26,920 --> 02:11:31,520
Speaker 2: the coverages that threw Howl off at times. They took

2497
02:11:31,520 --> 02:11:33,840
Speaker 2: away his first read that was a problem for him

2498
02:11:33,840 --> 02:11:36,880
Speaker 2: to process. And yeah, it was. It was a messy

2499
02:11:37,040 --> 02:11:38,920
Speaker 2: day for the young commander's quarterback.

2500
02:11:39,120 --> 02:11:41,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, I love the way he's been doing it so

2501
02:11:41,680 --> 02:11:44,360
Speaker 5: far through three weeks and can't wait to see what

2502
02:11:44,600 --> 02:11:47,440
Speaker 5: he dreams up schemes up for Sunday.

2503
02:11:47,600 --> 02:11:52,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, a dream scheme, hopefully. John says our defense can't

2504
02:11:52,520 --> 02:11:55,640
Speaker 2: wait for von Miller to return. Think about this pass rush.

2505
02:11:56,600 --> 02:11:58,360
Speaker 2: I mean, it's at the top of the league right

2506
02:11:58,400 --> 02:12:02,000
Speaker 2: now in terms of sacks per play and we weren't

2507
02:12:02,000 --> 02:12:04,640
Speaker 2: even von Miller on the field yet, He's not even activated.

2508
02:12:05,200 --> 02:12:09,120
Speaker 2: So yeah, that is something that's exciting. This coming week

2509
02:12:10,080 --> 02:12:13,760
Speaker 2: is the last definitive week that Vaughn will miss. He

2510
02:12:13,920 --> 02:12:18,080
Speaker 2: is eligible to return as early as Week five for

2511
02:12:18,320 --> 02:12:23,360
Speaker 2: the London game against the Jaguars. Melissa says, big takeaway

2512
02:12:23,640 --> 02:12:29,240
Speaker 2: watch aj epinessa this season. Hashtag bills by a billion. Yeah,

2513
02:12:30,640 --> 02:12:33,360
Speaker 2: people are finally off AJ's back. You know, he had

2514
02:12:33,400 --> 02:12:36,520
Speaker 2: a share of detractors because you know, I guess they

2515
02:12:36,600 --> 02:12:39,560
Speaker 2: felt he wasn't making enough big plays off the edge

2516
02:12:39,600 --> 02:12:42,280
Speaker 2: for a second round pick. But hey, if he puts

2517
02:12:42,320 --> 02:12:44,080
Speaker 2: it all together this year, all is going to be

2518
02:12:44,160 --> 02:12:45,000
Speaker 2: forgiven in a hurry.

2519
02:12:45,240 --> 02:12:47,440
Speaker 5: Yeah. I love what they've been able to do without

2520
02:12:47,520 --> 02:12:50,720
Speaker 5: Vaughn in this defensive line. Gone asked so many questions

2521
02:12:51,040 --> 02:12:53,360
Speaker 5: heading into this season, about, hey, do you have the

2522
02:12:53,400 --> 02:12:55,760
Speaker 5: wherewithal to do it without your one of your best

2523
02:12:55,880 --> 02:12:59,200
Speaker 5: players on defense, your best player on defense, And time

2524
02:12:59,280 --> 02:13:01,560
Speaker 5: and time again, they said, yeah, we believe in the group,

2525
02:13:01,640 --> 02:13:04,320
Speaker 5: We believe in the crew, and they were, you know,

2526
02:13:04,680 --> 02:13:07,600
Speaker 5: through three weeks, it's like, Von, it's all good. You

2527
02:13:07,760 --> 02:13:09,960
Speaker 5: hang in there. We're gonna need you soon enough, but

2528
02:13:10,120 --> 02:13:12,400
Speaker 5: we've got you while you're on the sideline.

2529
02:13:12,520 --> 02:13:14,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, and proof of that is the comment from Andrea.

2530
02:13:14,920 --> 02:13:17,440
Speaker 2: She said, Joshua's patient again. And can we talk about

2531
02:13:17,560 --> 02:13:21,160
Speaker 2: Leonard Floyd? Give that man his due one year contract

2532
02:13:21,200 --> 02:13:23,520
Speaker 2: for one point seven for that guy, he's got three

2533
02:13:23,560 --> 02:13:27,080
Speaker 2: and a half sacks already. Jeremy with the final thought

2534
02:13:27,120 --> 02:13:29,760
Speaker 2: on the tweet sheet, My takeaway is that I don't

2535
02:13:29,800 --> 02:13:32,920
Speaker 2: think I've ever seen an offensive line play this well

2536
02:13:33,000 --> 02:13:36,320
Speaker 2: for the Bills. Ever, they really can silence some of

2537
02:13:36,360 --> 02:13:40,200
Speaker 2: the critics out there, especially those hounding Spencer Brown. That

2538
02:13:40,320 --> 02:13:44,200
Speaker 2: guy has held his own for the most part this season. Yeah,

2539
02:13:44,200 --> 02:13:45,960
Speaker 2: I mean a little bit of an uneven performance in

2540
02:13:46,080 --> 02:13:48,200
Speaker 2: Week one and on the road with the crowd noise,

2541
02:13:48,240 --> 02:13:50,520
Speaker 2: it can be difficult getting off at the snap of

2542
02:13:50,560 --> 02:13:52,640
Speaker 2: the ball on the silent count. But yeah, week two

2543
02:13:52,800 --> 02:13:55,480
Speaker 2: nice job against Crosby. Had little help, but that's what

2544
02:13:55,600 --> 02:13:57,680
Speaker 2: you do against premier pass rushers. You get your guys

2545
02:13:57,720 --> 02:14:00,919
Speaker 2: on the edge of some help. Did the same again yesterday.

2546
02:14:01,400 --> 02:14:04,880
Speaker 5: Your opportunities are endless when you have an offensive line

2547
02:14:04,960 --> 02:14:05,880
Speaker 5: that can do good things.

2548
02:14:06,400 --> 02:14:08,400
Speaker 2: Mattie, thanks for the help the last couple of days.

2549
02:14:08,440 --> 02:14:12,360
Speaker 2: Steve will be back tomorrow when Steve and I rejoin

2550
02:14:12,440 --> 02:14:15,120
Speaker 2: you for a Tuesday edition of one Bills Live at

2551
02:14:15,440 --> 02:14:16,920
Speaker 2: one pm. We'll see you int
