Speaker 1: The Lease One Bills Live, presented by Called Light of Health.

2
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:38,479
Speaker 1: All right, how the heck you're doing here on a Tuesday,

3
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:40,880
Speaker 1: Chris Brown, Steve tasking with you. One Bill is live

4
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 1: back in the saddle. Good to be back after a

5
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:47,360
Speaker 1: little hiatus there. Um, I'm not gonna lie. I had

6
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 1: to get out of the weather. Yeah, I had to

7
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 1: do it. I couldn't couldn't take it anymore. Really missed

8
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:55,280
Speaker 1: out because we had six hours of sunshine over the weekend.

9
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 1: You didn't, You had no part of it. So yeah,

10
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:01,280
Speaker 1: I think I did our right on the sunshine quota.

11
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 1: But yeah, it was good just to get out of

12
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 1: the weather a little bit. I missed the earthquake though,

13
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:11,200
Speaker 1: How about that? That was a real thing. Yeah. I

14
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:14,760
Speaker 1: mean I saw some footage online and stuff because I

15
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 1: was checking, you know, I got cameras at my house.

16
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, let me check the house, like

17
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:20,960
Speaker 1: what's going there? Dying tipped over anything? And he noticeable

18
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:25,480
Speaker 1: it was that was Lancaster and what was it West Seneca? Yeah,

19
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 1: you were. You were closer than I was, like eight miles. Yeah,

20
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 1: it was. Yeah, it was a big deal. It was

21
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 1: a big deal. It looked like it was one big

22
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 1: bang though it came through like that. Yeah, it came

23
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:40,320
Speaker 1: through like that. And it sounded to me, and I

24
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 1: said this yesterday, it sounded like a big explosion off

25
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:45,760
Speaker 1: in the distance because you heard it. And he you

26
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 1: know Europe was that, Yeah, it was. You couldn't like,

27
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 1: I guess some people did miss it, Like my son

28
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 1: was on a bike or a peloton or whatever, so

29
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 1: he he didn't feel it didn't go through like So

30
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 1: there was a ways you could miss it, depending on

31
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 1: how far away you were in what the situation was

32
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 1: in your house. But if you were like it was

33
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 1: six to fifteen, six sixteen in the morning, shake out

34
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 1: lane in bed, yeah, you couldn't miss it. You couldn't

35
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:16,520
Speaker 1: miss it. Yeah. I mean from the footage I saw,

36
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 1: it looked like it was just one really like maybe

37
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 1: there was some rumbling, but then there was a bang

38
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 1: like a yeah. And the tweet that I laughed at

39
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 1: when I was cruising around social media to find anybody

40
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 1: that had footage, this guy says, you know you live

41
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 1: in Buffalo when you have an earthquake and you think

42
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 1: was that the snow plow the snow plow hits somebody's

43
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 1: mailbox or a tree, lamppost sounded like a plow or something. Yeah,

44
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 1: and we've all been there, I mean, yeah, so it's

45
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 1: that's true. So you knew something happened. I said, I

46
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:53,799
Speaker 1: was looking for a fireball. I thought a plane went

47
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 1: down or gas truck went off. Uh, you know the

48
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:00,679
Speaker 1: you know, the end of the world, world coming, you know,

49
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 1: off in the distance. I don't know it was. It

50
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:07,359
Speaker 1: was it was too big to be ignored, too big

51
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 1: to be but it was. It was fast, right, you're

52
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:12,800
Speaker 1: talking what ten seconds? Not even for me. It's felt

53
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 1: like it was three two or three tops and it

54
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 1: because like I said, it was it was like felt

55
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 1: like an impact. So it was gone, yeah, um, crazy stuff,

56
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 1: crazy stuff it you know, but it was I think

57
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 1: we have a seismology center over it ub. Yeah, so

58
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 1: they probably measured that. What was the final number? Somebody

59
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 1: Canada say was four point two? We said it was

60
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 1: three point eight something in there, but it was and

61
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 1: it was well, they do use the metric system, so yeah,

62
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 1: the exchange rate, the the from what I've heard, there

63
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 1: are also all the people the geology community is thinking

64
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 1: is because of the Turkey earthquake that sent rumbles the

65
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 1: world like literally because it was the Earth to the

66
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 1: other side or around the around the trust, you know,

67
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 1: like a like a ripple, yes, like a ripple effect.

68
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 1: I saw an animation of where the seismologies, the what

69
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 1: the size my seismographs were stationed throughout the world and

70
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:16,279
Speaker 1: you could see the wave come across at the time, kid,

71
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 1: and it was so the it was a big and

72
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 1: if you haven't seen it, it's pretty horrific what happened.

73
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:26,360
Speaker 1: It is um and it's it was a horrible tragedy collapses,

74
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:28,599
Speaker 1: but it was a result of that, and it was

75
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:32,919
Speaker 1: you know, that makes part of it, you know. And

76
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 1: we're not even on the edge of a fault here,

77
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 1: you know, I mean maybe a small round up here,

78
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 1: but not not like the San Andreas or something. But

79
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:44,040
Speaker 1: you know, so it was it would take something like

80
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 1: that to have that happen here. Taking me back to

81
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:50,719
Speaker 1: my days of earth science and plate tectonics, remember earth

82
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 1: plate tectonics. Oh, I can't tell you anything else after that,

83
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 1: there was a remember what it was called, right, U.

84
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,479
Speaker 1: But that's you know where we're at. So, yeah, you

85
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:05,720
Speaker 1: did miss that. I did. Were you in the air

86
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 1: like flying? I was? I was, Yeah, that was what

87
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:14,480
Speaker 1: was that Sunday or Monday morning, yesterday, morny morning, yes,

88
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 1: good morning. Yeah, I was still on the ground, but yeah, yeah,

89
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 1: that was. That was wild, wild, wild wild, because you

90
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 1: don't have that here very often. That was you missed it.

91
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,040
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think, like I want to say, there

92
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:31,600
Speaker 1: was one like a little minor shaker, like fifteen twenty

93
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 1: years ago or something, but I'm be hard pressed to

94
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 1: remember exactly if that's right or not. I don't know

95
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 1: why that's sticking in my head, but I could be

96
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 1: completely off on that. When I was a teenager, I

97
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:46,160
Speaker 1: remember I got shook out of bed down on Long Island,

98
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 1: and that was a longer one. That was like fifteen

99
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:53,919
Speaker 1: twenty seconds. Like my lamp on my nightstand was shaken

100
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:56,279
Speaker 1: and it was rattling, and that's how I was, and

101
00:05:56,320 --> 00:06:00,599
Speaker 1: then the bed's kind of going like shaking a little bit. Um.

102
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 1: That was the only one I've been through, So yeah,

103
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 1: certainly not like those major ones they have out west,

104
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 1: so they can and they can have them quite I don't.

105
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:09,919
Speaker 1: I don't need any of that stuff. You're gonna have

106
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 1: all of that. I'll take the snow here any day

107
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 1: of the week. You can have your tornadoes, your earthquakes,

108
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 1: your mud slides, your hurricanes. I'll take the snow any

109
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 1: day of the week. So yeah, but crazy that had happened,

110
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:24,159
Speaker 1: because it doesn't. As we said, it doesn't happen that

111
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:31,600
Speaker 1: often around here. Earlier this morning, Jesse Pagoula, daughter of

112
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 1: Terry and Kim Pagoula, the pro tennis player, had a

113
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 1: written kind of like an open letter type thing on

114
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 1: the player's tribune. We've seen Dion Dawkins participate in that space,

115
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 1: Jordan Poyer was very open about his alcoholism that in

116
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:53,360
Speaker 1: that space, and so Jessica Pegoula put together a piece

117
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 1: that said, I want to talk to you about my mom,

118
00:06:56,600 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 1: and it basically outlines all of the progress that Kim

119
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 1: has made since she unfortunately sustained cardiac arrest, and just

120
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 1: some amazing details provided by Jesse, you know, because the

121
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 1: family understandably has chosen to keep things private, but Jesse

122
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 1: felt she had to get this off her chest. And

123
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 1: I mean it was. It was very well written, very

124
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 1: well laid out, not only in terms of what has

125
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 1: happened to their mom, but I think more importantly, I

126
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 1: thought it very effectively encapsulated what the family has been

127
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 1: dealing with for almost a year now, just with Kim's

128
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 1: recovery and everything that's been involved in that. So just

129
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 1: some really telling things that just make you feel the

130
00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 1: weight of what they've been dealing with. I've had conversation

131
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 1: with I had a conversation with Terry about you know,

132
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 1: some of the things that when you and let's face it,

133
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 1: Kim and Terry, you know, bought the bills, bought the sabers,

134
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 1: and you get a lot of things when you buy

135
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 1: a business. Sometimes you get a lot of stuff you

136
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 1: don't sign up for. And one of the things you

137
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 1: don't sign up for is that um, people right or

138
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 1: wrongly whatever your whatever your position is on And I'm

139
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 1: not gonna take sides now, but they think like you're

140
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 1: kind of public property. And the thing that they forget

141
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 1: is how much of a family the Pagoulas are. Uh,

142
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:39,839
Speaker 1: they're great, Um, Kim, Terry, their kids, they've all been

143
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 1: great and they and they when you get to you know,

144
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 1: when you get in behind that they're a loving family.

145
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:49,200
Speaker 1: And they wanted to handle this like a family wants to.

146
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:51,520
Speaker 1: They don't want everybody to know what's going on. They

147
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 1: didn't want to you know, to be a public conversation,

148
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:56,440
Speaker 1: and it took months and months before you know, Jesse

149
00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:58,960
Speaker 1: felt like she was in the position. And I'm sure

150
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 1: she you know, got the blessings from her family just

151
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 1: you know, to let everybody know what had happened. And

152
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 1: kudos to them for handling it as well as they have.

153
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 1: But um, I feel we all feel for him, so

154
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 1: happy to know that Kim is on the mend and

155
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 1: that there are better days ahead for all of them,

156
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 1: and we wish they bet their family the best, because

157
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 1: that's yeah, and that's I guess my point is that

158
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 1: you forget that they're a family and they're not celebrities.

159
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:30,080
Speaker 1: They're not public figures really per se. There they own

160
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:33,840
Speaker 1: a very prominent business. So the things you get for

161
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 1: something you gets sometimes and you don't sign up for

162
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 1: aren't all that attractive sometimes. And they've handled it extremely well,

163
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:42,719
Speaker 1: So good to them, good for them, will continue to

164
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:45,679
Speaker 1: keep them in our prayers and and kudos to them

165
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:48,720
Speaker 1: for how they have handled this from from now start

166
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 1: and finished. And you know, among the details that we

167
00:09:51,559 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 1: found was Kim's other daughter, Kelly, essentially performed CPR on Kim,

168
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:06,080
Speaker 1: which was I mean Basically, Jesse credits her sister with,

169
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 1: you know, saving her mom's life. It's just it's dramatic,

170
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:14,679
Speaker 1: dramatic stuff. I mean, it was a heavy read, you know,

171
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 1: when Kim is dealing, as Jesse points out, with a

172
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:25,079
Speaker 1: phasia expressive aphasia, which is when cognitively you know everything

173
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 1: that's going on, whether you're having a conversation with somebody

174
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:32,840
Speaker 1: or you're interacting with another person, but the words don't

175
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 1: always come to you to express whatever response you have

176
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 1: in mind. So it's not considered a cognitive problem. It's

177
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:46,319
Speaker 1: a language problem. And you know that's what she's been

178
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 1: working on from what we understand based on what Jesse

179
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 1: has said in terms of you know, getting back to

180
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:56,720
Speaker 1: a place where you know she can you know, conduct

181
00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 1: conversations like she always has. You know, whether she'll ever

182
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 1: get to that point, you know, remains to be seen.

183
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:07,080
Speaker 1: I guess the best news is that she's making daily

184
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:09,880
Speaker 1: and weekly progress, So we wish are the best on

185
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:14,080
Speaker 1: that course, and I hope she does get to her goal,

186
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 1: which is probably carrying on conversations just as she always had.

187
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:20,880
Speaker 1: So our best wishes again to the family on that

188
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:24,439
Speaker 1: as there you know, this is anytime a family's dealing

189
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 1: with a health issue, it always weighs on you heavily,

190
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:30,720
Speaker 1: which which is what struck me. You know, Jesse mentioned

191
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 1: one thing when they say one day in the hospital

192
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 1: equals a week to recover, that is no joke. And

193
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 1: she's talking about everybody that's dealing with the sick person

194
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 1: or the unhealthy person. It's the other family members that

195
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 1: are there supporting that person that are mentally and physically

196
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 1: exhausted just from stress, worry, time spent you know, sleeping

197
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:53,760
Speaker 1: in a chair in a hospital room. That's the stuff

198
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 1: that wears out the people that are trying to be

199
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 1: there for their family members. So that's why I felt,

200
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 1: you know, Jesse did such a good job encapsulating everything.

201
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 1: Yeah and as yeah and as uh as we've said, um,

202
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:11,199
Speaker 1: now at least and because there's been a ton of people,

203
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 1: you know, sending their thoughts and their prayers to the

204
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 1: Pagoula family, now they can know the details and be

205
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 1: more specific in those thoughts and prayers. So good. Um,

206
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 1: So we're all in a better spot maybe perhaps today

207
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:28,200
Speaker 1: than we were. Right So again, as Steve said, you know,

208
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 1: we continue to pass our well wishes onto the Bagoula family,

209
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 1: not just Kim, but all those people that have been

210
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 1: carrying this like Jesse Um, which is why she had

211
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:40,080
Speaker 1: to get it off her chest. I mean totally understand why,

212
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:43,720
Speaker 1: and just amazing. The year that she's had in tennis

213
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:47,200
Speaker 1: despite all of this, is that unbelievable that it's unbelievad

214
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 1: happened right when she cracked the top ten. She climbed

215
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:52,720
Speaker 1: all the way to number three during this time. So

216
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:55,959
Speaker 1: that's been awesome to see. It's made me a tennis fan.

217
00:12:56,040 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 1: So um she's been She's been thriving and doing well

218
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:05,440
Speaker 1: in the midst of a great hardship that's tough, much

219
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:07,960
Speaker 1: much like the city of Buffalo has. So it's well, yeah,

220
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 1: and you know that's what That's what brought it all

221
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:14,680
Speaker 1: full circle for the Pagoula family when the Damar Hamlin

222
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 1: thing happened, because it was pretty comparable to what they

223
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:22,080
Speaker 1: experienced in their own family, and now it happens in

224
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 1: the extended family with DeMar. I can't imagine what was

225
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 1: running through Terry Pegoula's head that night in pay Core

226
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 1: Stadium in Cincinnati. It's got to be crazy. So yeah,

227
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 1: the good news is both parties are on the end,

228
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 1: so we just hope that continues going forward. We want

229
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 1: to get to NFL news and notes. So we go

230
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 1: around the NFL Now, which is presented by Kalid to Health,

231
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:54,679
Speaker 1: the official healthcare system of the Buffalo Bills, and we

232
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:58,520
Speaker 1: begin with the Minnesota Viking, Steve, who now have a

233
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:03,480
Speaker 1: new defensive coordinator in Brian Flores, now a former Steelers

234
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 1: defensive assistant and former Dolphins head coach. I think there's

235
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:10,360
Speaker 1: a good hire for Minnesota. They needed help on defense, Steve.

236
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 1: That's the thing that costs in their season. They were

237
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:17,240
Speaker 1: thirty first in total defense, twenty eighth and points allout.

238
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 1: You can say what you want and and and maybe

239
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 1: true they didn't have, you know, great personnel, but I

240
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 1: don't think they had thirty one the thirty first worst

241
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 1: defensive roster in the league. You know, certainly they weren't

242
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:33,920
Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Eagles or the San Francisco forty nine ers

243
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 1: or even the Buffalo Bills, but they were better than

244
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:43,560
Speaker 1: thirty first in the league. And so Brian Flores, who

245
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:47,160
Speaker 1: is a highly respected leader and a defensive mind and

246
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 1: former head coach, obviously the Dolphins is going to go there.

247
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 1: That's I think that's a great higher from Minnesota, great

248
00:14:55,560 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 1: higher for Minnesota. With Flora's taking that job as defensive

249
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 1: coordinator with the Vikings, it takes him out of the

250
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:07,840
Speaker 1: job for the Cardinals head coaching post, which now is

251
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 1: down to two candidates. It's essentially Giants OC Mike Kafka

252
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 1: and Bengals defensive coordinator Lou and Rumo. So those are

253
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:21,360
Speaker 1: the only two guys left for that job. Yeah, we're

254
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 1: cheering for in Rumo to go to the well the Conference. Yeah, yeah,

255
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 1: we are. He's a really good defensive coordinator and you

256
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 1: know you're gonna end up playing the guy if he's

257
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 1: in the AFC with Cincinnati. Are you surprised, Brownie, because

258
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 1: I know we'll get to it in a minute. Maybe

259
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:42,560
Speaker 1: we'll that the Cardinals are still without a head coach,

260
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:46,160
Speaker 1: and so were the Indianapolis Colts. Yeah, there is a

261
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 1: part of me. This is not a usual time frame

262
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 1: to get these guys hired. Yeah, there's a part of

263
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 1: me that's wondering if there's someone from the two Super

264
00:15:56,680 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 1: Bowl teams staffs at Arizona might be interested in. But

265
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 1: I would have thought they would have interviewed him, right,

266
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 1: You know who I mean, I don't know. I mean,

267
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 1: I mean you can go down the Eric B. Enemy

268
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:16,880
Speaker 1: path again. I'm just throwing out names here, so yeah,

269
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:20,960
Speaker 1: you know, I I don't know. It could be anybody, um,

270
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 1: you know the Eagles staff, I mean there's people there.

271
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:30,400
Speaker 1: I was just wondering like what could be the hold up,

272
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 1: and that to me might be one of the only

273
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:34,840
Speaker 1: things I can think of that maybe there's somebody on

274
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 1: one of those staffs that they want to talk to.

275
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:42,200
Speaker 1: And I'm not even familiar from down deep mind Eric B. Enemy,

276
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 1: we've heard being here in about for a couple of years.

277
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:46,240
Speaker 1: I don't even know who on the Eagles step. I

278
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 1: don't even know they're coordinators at this point to to

279
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 1: know who's been doing because I hate to say it,

280
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:58,560
Speaker 1: but I get it, Nick Siriannie's getting a lot of

281
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:00,600
Speaker 1: credit for what's going on in Philly, but man, oh man,

282
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:03,280
Speaker 1: they got some horses over there. Yeah. I mean the

283
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:09,160
Speaker 1: DC Jonathan Gannon was mentioned in certain places, and he's

284
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:12,399
Speaker 1: a young guy, so too is their OC Shane Steike

285
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:16,120
Speaker 1: And who was working in LA with the Chargers then

286
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:21,920
Speaker 1: moved on to the Eagles with Siriani. I know their

287
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:25,359
Speaker 1: offensive line coach Jeff Stoutland has been interviewed for a

288
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 1: couple of coordinator positions because he's only an offensive line

289
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 1: coach slash run game coordinator. But to my knowledge, you know,

290
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 1: they're not hiring people away from Super Bowl teams. So yeah,

291
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,760
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know who. It was, just

292
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:47,359
Speaker 1: a guess because we're waiting a long time here for

293
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:49,640
Speaker 1: this to come together, and I you know, I'm sure

294
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:51,480
Speaker 1: there are other things that could hold it up. You

295
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:55,440
Speaker 1: could have something as simple as you know, contract language.

296
00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:58,399
Speaker 1: Maybe somebody's agreed to terms and they're trying to cross

297
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:01,480
Speaker 1: teas and dot eyes. That could be it. I know

298
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:06,560
Speaker 1: that you were always curious about whether or not Arizona

299
00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 1: could lure an offensive coach to come in to work

300
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:15,639
Speaker 1: with Kyler Murray. And right now you've got Kafka, the

301
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:20,119
Speaker 1: OC from the Giants, as the only offensive candidate, and

302
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:23,760
Speaker 1: then obviously Anna Rumo, who's you know, a defensive minded guy,

303
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:29,760
Speaker 1: as the other candidates. So yeah, what are they waiting for?

304
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:32,720
Speaker 1: You got me? I don't know. I don't know what's

305
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:36,639
Speaker 1: keeping them from finalizing that there and this, you know

306
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:38,959
Speaker 1: few I'm not saying it's the reason, but it fuels

307
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:41,000
Speaker 1: the speculation that I've made over the course of the

308
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:43,639
Speaker 1: last couple of months or two that there are some

309
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:49,439
Speaker 1: guys who know, thank you these jobs. Certainly there's a

310
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:51,879
Speaker 1: certain level of guys who would take it at any

311
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 1: for any reason, for at any right they wanted, They

312
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:57,960
Speaker 1: would love it. But there's a lot of guys, you know,

313
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:00,199
Speaker 1: guys like Sean Payton who just took the Denver job.

314
00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:04,960
Speaker 1: You could see a coach of his stature say no

315
00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:08,440
Speaker 1: to something. But I think that line drops down even

316
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:12,440
Speaker 1: into some pretty good coordinator spots, where these guys say,

317
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:14,719
Speaker 1: I want to take a job where I can be

318
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:17,399
Speaker 1: successful in because if I go, I'm gonna get a

319
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:19,639
Speaker 1: I'm gonna, you know, have this job for three or

320
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:21,320
Speaker 1: four years, and we're gonna get We're gonna stink, and

321
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:23,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be fired. And then then what am I

322
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:25,200
Speaker 1: gonna do? Yeah, then I'm gonna take a step back

323
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:29,479
Speaker 1: and then I'm back to coordinating again or whatever. I

324
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:32,960
Speaker 1: think there's a number of or at least at at

325
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:37,040
Speaker 1: any given point in NFL. It changes obviously from year

326
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:40,119
Speaker 1: to year, where there's guys who will say, uh, I

327
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:44,320
Speaker 1: don't know, particularly the prominent candidates I think. I mean,

328
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:46,840
Speaker 1: I realized this is kind of an obvious point, but

329
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:49,639
Speaker 1: I kind of thought all along that the Cardinals we're

330
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:52,600
Speaker 1: gonna have to hire a first time head coach because

331
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:55,840
Speaker 1: getting some of these veteran guys to say yes to

332
00:19:56,440 --> 00:20:00,240
Speaker 1: what I see as a tenuous situation. Did you well,

333
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:02,120
Speaker 1: did you don't see it? Did you catch the Sean

334
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:06,639
Speaker 1: Payton remarks about Russell Wilson. Oh, yeah, see, so Russell Wilson.

335
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:11,440
Speaker 1: Here's Russell Wilson had an office in the Broncos facility

336
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:14,399
Speaker 1: and his personal coach was there. Now, I don't know

337
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:19,119
Speaker 1: whether the guy was a coach coach. I know he

338
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:20,880
Speaker 1: said he was a coach, but I don't know where

339
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:23,439
Speaker 1: he was an a personal assistant or whether he was

340
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:28,440
Speaker 1: a you know, this guru, a mechanics coach, or nutrition

341
00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:30,479
Speaker 1: or practice. What do I care if? I don't even

342
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:32,840
Speaker 1: know if the guy was a nutritionist or what he

343
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:36,360
Speaker 1: might have been. You know, I don't know. But he

344
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:38,679
Speaker 1: was in the building and he was Russell. He was

345
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 1: on Russell's pay you know, payroll, not the Broncos payroll.

346
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:48,359
Speaker 1: So at his introductory press conference, Sean Payton was asked

347
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 1: about Russ's personal coach, and he said, basically, he said, yeah,

348
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:56,520
Speaker 1: that's not gonna fly. That's it's gonna be us, our

349
00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 1: players and our staff, and that's gonna be all who's

350
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:03,879
Speaker 1: in the building. So Sean Payton just fired Russell's entire staff. Well,

351
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:07,040
Speaker 1: at least he's preventing access to the building so the

352
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:09,840
Speaker 1: guy will not be in the building. So we heard

353
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:13,720
Speaker 1: some stuff this last season when Russ you know, you know,

354
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 1: he had fewer touchdown passes than bathrooms in his new house.

355
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:21,240
Speaker 1: We heard, you know, that kind of thing. So Russ

356
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:24,000
Speaker 1: would Russ was flexing a little bit in the building,

357
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:27,760
Speaker 1: I think, and Sean Payton's coming in saying, nah, that's

358
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:31,520
Speaker 1: that's we're doing. We're not doing that, which is I

359
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:36,760
Speaker 1: think an absolutely proper, on correct move to make Peyton's

360
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:40,800
Speaker 1: former team. The Saints hired a new defensive coordinator in

361
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:45,840
Speaker 1: Joe Woods, who was fired at season's end in Cleveland.

362
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:50,400
Speaker 1: Woods not a bad deal to walk into. He's inheriting

363
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:55,560
Speaker 1: a top five defense that finished ninth in points allowed Cleveland.

364
00:21:55,760 --> 00:22:00,040
Speaker 1: The defense he coordinated was fourteenth in total defense and

365
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:04,200
Speaker 1: you know, twelfth against the past twentieth in points allowed.

366
00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:07,720
Speaker 1: Browns couldn't stop the run. Last year they were twenty

367
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:10,639
Speaker 1: fifth against the run, but that was also a problem.

368
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:12,640
Speaker 1: In New Orleans they were twenty fourth against the run,

369
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 1: not much better. Hard to know what that defense is

370
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:18,240
Speaker 1: gonna look like, knowing the Saints are about fifty seven

371
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:22,200
Speaker 1: million over the cap. And I also read this head

372
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:24,400
Speaker 1: coach Dennis Allen is going to be calling the plays

373
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:28,960
Speaker 1: on defense. So the scheme remains and Joe Woods comes

374
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:31,640
Speaker 1: in and he's just gonna be holding a clipboard. He's

375
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:33,960
Speaker 1: not even gonna be calling the plays. He'll probably be

376
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:36,320
Speaker 1: he's gonna listen, he's not gonna he's be doing more

377
00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 1: than that. But yeah, on game day he probably will

378
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:43,600
Speaker 1: have a voice in what's going on, but not be

379
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:46,960
Speaker 1: calling the place. First, game planning is vast, is a

380
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:50,000
Speaker 1: you know, an ongoing process. He's gonna be neck deep

381
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:54,320
Speaker 1: in that for sure, and personnel decisions, all of that stuff.

382
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:58,920
Speaker 1: Dennis Allen, though, we'll be calling the plays. And that's

383
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 1: I get that, and I'm all about that. I think

384
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:05,240
Speaker 1: a head coach should be calling the offensive plays or

385
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:10,040
Speaker 1: calling the defensive plays. You know, really, yeah, because for instance,

386
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:12,520
Speaker 1: say that say this is the way it isn't in

387
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:16,560
Speaker 1: Kansas City, Andy Reid. If he if Eric Bienemy is

388
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:19,000
Speaker 1: calling the plays and he gets all this credit for

389
00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:21,720
Speaker 1: how good this offense is. Pretty soon he's coaching the

390
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:25,040
Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals or the Indianapolis Colts or the Carolina Panthers. Well,

391
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 1: now you got to find another guy. But if your

392
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:30,760
Speaker 1: head coach is doing that, at least you have your

393
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:34,480
Speaker 1: play caller somebody there who's who you're not gonna get

394
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:37,840
Speaker 1: totally gutted. Your offensive coordinator goes there to coach, Your

395
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:40,080
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator goes there to coach. Now we were in

396
00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:42,440
Speaker 1: the AFC Championship game or the Super Bowl this year.

397
00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:45,119
Speaker 1: Now we can't get back because I gotta redo the

398
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:48,240
Speaker 1: top of my entire staff. So I'm I'm all about

399
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:51,880
Speaker 1: having a head coach on game day, having some important

400
00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:55,080
Speaker 1: responsibilities so that you know the guy, so that he

401
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:58,680
Speaker 1: doesn't lose those guys two hires when when the team

402
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:04,160
Speaker 1: becomes successful. So I'm I see the value in that,

403
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 1: particularly in Kansas City where you got Pat Mahomes and

404
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:09,280
Speaker 1: you don't want that guy, and we hear the Buffalo

405
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:12,560
Speaker 1: has done it. Now you can make the conversation, you

406
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:14,639
Speaker 1: can make the comment. Now people are saying well, I

407
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:16,320
Speaker 1: don't know, Ken Dorsey, I don't know what they Listen,

408
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:19,400
Speaker 1: they were better offensively this year than they were last year,

409
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:21,879
Speaker 1: against the harder strength of schedule, against a much more

410
00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:26,000
Speaker 1: difficult strength of schedule and more injuries. So you can

411
00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:27,919
Speaker 1: say what you want about you don't like Ken Dorsey.

412
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:29,639
Speaker 1: You think you should be fired it that that I

413
00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 1: how the season ended, all that stuff. You say what

414
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:33,560
Speaker 1: you want. They were better this year and they were

415
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:38,800
Speaker 1: last year. They were number two scoring, number two total points,

416
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 1: number two scoring, not two, number two yards get and

417
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 1: they were the best team, number one team on third down.

418
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:47,680
Speaker 1: Say whatever you want. They were better this year and

419
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:51,760
Speaker 1: they were last year. That doesn't always happen, And you

420
00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:56,000
Speaker 1: may not like the way it looks, right. You may

421
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:57,520
Speaker 1: not like the way it looks. You think, wow, they

422
00:24:57,520 --> 00:24:59,280
Speaker 1: should have been better. They should have been Listen, they were.

423
00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:02,720
Speaker 1: They were better than they were the year before in

424
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:07,720
Speaker 1: their rankings and in a lot of ways. So you

425
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:09,720
Speaker 1: may not like it to hear it, and you may

426
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:13,760
Speaker 1: be bummed about it. But Ken Dorsey did a really

427
00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:17,320
Speaker 1: nice job and he's still here, which is good. But

428
00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:19,159
Speaker 1: what happens now you got to do it again? Now,

429
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:21,359
Speaker 1: what's gonna happen. Joe Brady gonna move up again. You're gonna,

430
00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:24,440
Speaker 1: you know, pretty soon you run out of guys who

431
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:28,800
Speaker 1: have the continuity and the and the experience to help Josh.

432
00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:31,720
Speaker 1: So this year they they got away with it. And

433
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:34,520
Speaker 1: if you want to say it that way, and losing

434
00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:38,560
Speaker 1: a great coordinator like day Ball. But it doesn't always

435
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:43,119
Speaker 1: happen like that. You may be right. Maybe maybe you know,

436
00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:46,919
Speaker 1: Philly and Kansas City are gonna get pillaged after the

437
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:49,160
Speaker 1: Super Bowl with these hires, with these two head coaching

438
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:51,760
Speaker 1: hires that are still out there. Maybe not, but the

439
00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:54,600
Speaker 1: still simple. The fact of the matter is, you know,

440
00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:58,240
Speaker 1: it's a bit, it's a thing. The staffs are vastly

441
00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 1: important in the NFL, and if you keep having to

442
00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:03,280
Speaker 1: replace guys at the top, and it's a problem. So

443
00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:06,000
Speaker 1: I like to having defensive guys like Doug Allen in

444
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:10,040
Speaker 1: New Orleans. I get it. I totally get it. Yeah,

445
00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:15,000
Speaker 1: there is more coaching news that just happened. Former Panthers

446
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:19,040
Speaker 1: interim head coach Steve Wilkes is expected to become the

447
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:22,200
Speaker 1: new defensive coordinator of the San Francisco forty nine ers.

448
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:25,600
Speaker 1: They had a vacancy obviously when Damiko Ryan's left to

449
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:28,920
Speaker 1: become the head coach of the Texans, so Steve Wilkes

450
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:33,560
Speaker 1: will be the new DC in San Francisco. He actually

451
00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:37,280
Speaker 1: has been a head coach in his previous coaching career.

452
00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:40,600
Speaker 1: He was the one and done guy in Arizona right

453
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:44,480
Speaker 1: after they drafted Josh Rosen and then was summarily dismissed

454
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:47,920
Speaker 1: after one season, and Cliff Kingsbury came in and really

455
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 1: didn't have a whole lot more success. So it looks

456
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:55,160
Speaker 1: like Wilkes will be going to San fran to work

457
00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:59,359
Speaker 1: under Kyle Shanahan with the forty nine ers. That's a

458
00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:02,080
Speaker 1: heck of a defense to inherit. Yeah, it's not a

459
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:05,120
Speaker 1: bad gig. Yeah, that's I know. They gotta pay Nick

460
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:07,680
Speaker 1: Bosa this offseason. I'll say this though, too. I mean

461
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:11,760
Speaker 1: it's you're gonna get scrutinized because they were really good

462
00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:14,960
Speaker 1: and they better be really good this year or it's

463
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:17,520
Speaker 1: on you. You know what I'm saying. There better be

464
00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:19,840
Speaker 1: some and there were number one, so there's only one

465
00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:23,439
Speaker 1: place they can go. You better be there better be

466
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:27,680
Speaker 1: some really obvious reasons other than you that they don't

467
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:29,840
Speaker 1: live up to the number one defense again next year.

468
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:34,840
Speaker 1: You better have some real solid, tangible reasons that everybody

469
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:36,439
Speaker 1: can see or you're gonna get the blame for them

470
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:39,000
Speaker 1: dropping in the rankings. But there's no better, you know,

471
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:41,919
Speaker 1: you don't have a nobody's got a cupboard that's more

472
00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:47,240
Speaker 1: that's more full than yours is walking into that doll.

473
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:50,480
Speaker 1: See we'll see, but yeah, that's I think that comes

474
00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:52,200
Speaker 1: with a lot of pressure, a lot like Ken Dorsey's

475
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:55,320
Speaker 1: pressure coming in with Brian dayball this year. He did well,

476
00:27:55,400 --> 00:28:00,040
Speaker 1: right and an all world quarterback. Topic of discussion to

477
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:05,080
Speaker 1: day concerns that quarterback Josh Allen. What do you believe

478
00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:08,800
Speaker 1: is the most effective way to take the load off

479
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:11,600
Speaker 1: Josh Allen next season? I think there's a lot of people,

480
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:17,440
Speaker 1: fans and outside observers alike, who would claim that there

481
00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:21,120
Speaker 1: is too much on Josh Allen's plate and too much

482
00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:24,959
Speaker 1: of the offensive burden falls on him too much of

483
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:28,920
Speaker 1: the time. Just look at his rushing yards as one example.

484
00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:33,480
Speaker 1: So in your eyes, what is the most effective way

485
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:36,760
Speaker 1: roster wise for the Bills to take the load off

486
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:38,920
Speaker 1: Josh Allen next season? You tell us at eight oh

487
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:42,240
Speaker 1: three five fifty one eight eight eight five fifty two,

488
00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:44,160
Speaker 1: five fifty the number to get on board. Got an

489
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 1: open line for you there, or you can hit us

490
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:50,480
Speaker 1: up on the tweet sheet at one Bills Live. We've heard,

491
00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:52,240
Speaker 1: you know, we have Greg Kosell on here on a

492
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:55,920
Speaker 1: weekly basis during the season, Steve, and he says he

493
00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:58,320
Speaker 1: said it more than once. He feels that the offense

494
00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:01,880
Speaker 1: is too Josh centric and too much of the burden

495
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:06,440
Speaker 1: is on him to make it all work every single week,

496
00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:09,880
Speaker 1: no matter the circumstances. And I think he's got a point,

497
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:12,960
Speaker 1: and you know, I think that's why a lot of

498
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:15,800
Speaker 1: us feel like the team's got to go all in

499
00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:18,160
Speaker 1: on the offensive side of the ball this offseason to

500
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:19,800
Speaker 1: kind of surround him with a little bit more to

501
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:23,960
Speaker 1: work with. We we had this conversation too that in

502
00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:30,400
Speaker 1: the AFC Championship game, Mahomes and Joe Burrow, Mahomes almost

503
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:36,040
Speaker 1: set records. He was ninety one percent of their offense. So,

504
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:40,640
Speaker 1: if you've got that guy, which the Bills do, the

505
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:46,640
Speaker 1: Chiefs do, the Chargers do this, Bengals do. You can

506
00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:50,480
Speaker 1: go down the list. You gotta I think you gotta

507
00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:53,080
Speaker 1: ride that horse, and you gotta expect him to be

508
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:57,040
Speaker 1: that guy. Now, if you can make him, give him help.

509
00:29:57,240 --> 00:29:59,640
Speaker 1: No question is gonna help. I mean, it's gonna take easier,

510
00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:04,520
Speaker 1: make it easier for him, And a lot of things

511
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 1: point towards it. The rules are slanted towards that side

512
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:10,840
Speaker 1: of the ball, They officiate towards that side of the ball.

513
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:13,760
Speaker 1: That position gets a ton of protection where you don't

514
00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:16,520
Speaker 1: have to worry about getting clothesline two steps after the

515
00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:23,120
Speaker 1: balls left your hand. They protect it. Everything says that

516
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:26,360
Speaker 1: if you've got that guy, it should be easy for him.

517
00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:28,680
Speaker 1: And it didn't seem like that for Josh this year.

518
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:30,920
Speaker 1: It seemed like it was at times it was like, man,

519
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:32,600
Speaker 1: give the guy a little help, you know, do a

520
00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:36,720
Speaker 1: little something. Somebody do something. So I think that's where

521
00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:38,600
Speaker 1: a lot of Bills fans kind of find themselves at

522
00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:41,080
Speaker 1: different time. Maybe not all the time, but certainly at

523
00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:43,640
Speaker 1: different times, Bills fans are like, oh, man, man, don't

524
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:46,600
Speaker 1: don't drop that pass, you know, or hand the ball?

525
00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:49,560
Speaker 1: Can you hand it to him instead of letting Josh

526
00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:51,360
Speaker 1: run for the fourth and one? Can you hand it

527
00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:55,320
Speaker 1: to somebody else? That kind of thing. So, um, that's

528
00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:58,480
Speaker 1: where we're at today with the question, Yeah, how would

529
00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:01,280
Speaker 1: you do it? Yeah, most effective way to take the

530
00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:04,360
Speaker 1: load off of Josh next season, not saying you're gonna

531
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:06,440
Speaker 1: have him take a back seat. He's still gonna be

532
00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:08,680
Speaker 1: the driving force of the offense. But how do you

533
00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:11,400
Speaker 1: make things a little easier for him with respect to

534
00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:14,200
Speaker 1: the roster? You let us know at eight three five

535
00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:16,200
Speaker 1: fifty We take a break here, but we're back with

536
00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:18,680
Speaker 1: your phone calls and your tweets. Next. You're on One

537
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:22,000
Speaker 1: Bills Live, presented by Kalaida Health. This is Buffalo Bills Radio.

538
00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:35,200
Speaker 1: All right, welcome back to One Bills Live. Chris Brown,

539
00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:38,880
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker with you as we are discussing what you

540
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:42,200
Speaker 1: think the most effective way to take the load off

541
00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:46,400
Speaker 1: Josh Allen next season. Might be plenty of ways to

542
00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:50,400
Speaker 1: do it, and Steve and I kind of gave us,

543
00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:53,360
Speaker 1: gave our initial feelings earlier before we went to break.

544
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:55,200
Speaker 1: We want to know what you think at eight three

545
00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:58,240
Speaker 1: five fifty one, eight eight five fifty two five fifty

546
00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:00,720
Speaker 1: open line for you there, But we go to the

547
00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:04,440
Speaker 1: phones now and leading us off is Dan in Glenwood.

548
00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:05,719
Speaker 1: What do you got for his? Dan? You're on One

549
00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:10,000
Speaker 1: Bill's Live. Hey, guys, thanks for having me. So I

550
00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:12,360
Speaker 1: was gonna say What we needed to add was two

551
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:16,560
Speaker 1: simple words, reliable targets. But I want to go one

552
00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:19,560
Speaker 1: step further and say push the chips to the middle

553
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:23,120
Speaker 1: of the table and go all in on reliable targets

554
00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:27,720
Speaker 1: for Josh. Don't just do it in the draft, because

555
00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:31,520
Speaker 1: mcdermot's kind of showing he's a freight the players as

556
00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:33,320
Speaker 1: an integral part of the offense. We still don't know

557
00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:36,920
Speaker 1: we have in Kalil secure and we can't count on

558
00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:41,080
Speaker 1: one hundred percent free agency. We're gonna be able to get,

559
00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:44,640
Speaker 1: but come at it from all fronts. So I know, Washington,

560
00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:47,520
Speaker 1: that's six foot seven tight end out of Georgia. You

561
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:51,960
Speaker 1: know in the draft there's been reports the Chargers are

562
00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:54,600
Speaker 1: gonna move on from Keenan Allen due to cap space.

563
00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:57,320
Speaker 1: Maybe he'd be willing to take a more team friendly

564
00:32:57,400 --> 00:32:59,560
Speaker 1: deal somebody like that. So why don't you give me

565
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:04,560
Speaker 1: a number? Dan? In turn? So, reliable targets plural, But

566
00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:08,080
Speaker 1: what would be a sufficient number for you, and you

567
00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:11,000
Speaker 1: can lump receivers tight ends all together, what would be

568
00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:14,160
Speaker 1: a total over under number you'd be looking at to

569
00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:21,840
Speaker 1: satisfy you new additions? Correct? Three? Okay? You would need

570
00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:24,560
Speaker 1: like like I said, maybe one from the draft to

571
00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:27,440
Speaker 1: get some use one free agent wise, but you'd have

572
00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:30,800
Speaker 1: to have one other one to compensate for injuries or busts.

573
00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:34,480
Speaker 1: And then you hope one of the other pieces we

574
00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:37,920
Speaker 1: have turns the corners. We do have something in Shakier,

575
00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:41,960
Speaker 1: it clicks for Gabe Davis, Knox becomes just a little

576
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:46,480
Speaker 1: bit more dependable, something like that. So there is that

577
00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:48,800
Speaker 1: you think one of the additions out of the three

578
00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:51,200
Speaker 1: you're talking about, are already on the roster, but you

579
00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:55,960
Speaker 1: got to find them and develop them. I would hope

580
00:33:55,960 --> 00:34:00,240
Speaker 1: either way, Um, if they're not, if it's not Shaki, year,

581
00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:04,360
Speaker 1: if it's not Davis, then maybe there was an underrated,

582
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:07,720
Speaker 1: lower cost free agent acquisition we made an addition to

583
00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:14,600
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins Keenan Allen, I think is t Higgins going

584
00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:16,200
Speaker 1: to be a free agent or is he in a

585
00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:20,439
Speaker 1: contract year or something with Cincinnati. He is the same

586
00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:22,719
Speaker 1: as Joe Burrow, so I think he has a year

587
00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:26,080
Speaker 1: left on his original rookie deal. As you know, after

588
00:34:26,200 --> 00:34:28,680
Speaker 1: year three, if the quarterbacks shown up, they signed him

589
00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:32,080
Speaker 1: sooner as than later to a monster extension, They're probably

590
00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:34,319
Speaker 1: going to have to wait on Higgins another year. And

591
00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:37,000
Speaker 1: if they don't pay him, then he'll let free agency

592
00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:40,320
Speaker 1: next year. Yeah, but he's got an option for next season. No,

593
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:43,800
Speaker 1: probably not, No, somebody like that. We can't afford multiple

594
00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:46,560
Speaker 1: big names, but you would hope you could get a

595
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:51,120
Speaker 1: big name and a promising draft prospect and then maybe

596
00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:55,880
Speaker 1: a bargain free agent signing and or one of our

597
00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:57,920
Speaker 1: guys we currently have in the roster clicking. So we

598
00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:00,279
Speaker 1: would need three total out of that. Yeah, all right,

599
00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:03,200
Speaker 1: good call, Dan, thanks for it. Eight oh three five

600
00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:06,160
Speaker 1: fifty number to get on board one eight fifty two,

601
00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:08,799
Speaker 1: five fifty. We move along and we go to Mark

602
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:12,960
Speaker 1: in West Seneca next. What do you got for his Mark? Hi, guys, Chris,

603
00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:18,239
Speaker 1: welcome back, you're missed. Thanks. I think everybody is going

604
00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:21,320
Speaker 1: so crazy over I got two things. I wanted to

605
00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:23,719
Speaker 1: real muntion real quick what we need to do on

606
00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:26,120
Speaker 1: offense to help Josh. And then I just wanted to

607
00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:30,440
Speaker 1: make a comment on always talking about where are we

608
00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:35,359
Speaker 1: we rank statistically offensively and defensively, so real quick, I

609
00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:42,000
Speaker 1: believe with the digs, Davis Knox, what the role that

610
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:45,080
Speaker 1: Cook is going to have next year? I think Morris

611
00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:48,640
Speaker 1: is a more than serviceable other option at tight end.

612
00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:51,400
Speaker 1: He can help a lot. I think you got shakier.

613
00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:55,000
Speaker 1: And if they add one more a wide receiver in

614
00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:58,200
Speaker 1: the first round, somebody that has the potential to be dynamic,

615
00:35:58,239 --> 00:35:59,680
Speaker 1: if they can find them where they're going to be

616
00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:03,840
Speaker 1: draft from. I think, and then you resigned, Crowder, I

617
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:07,640
Speaker 1: think you may be okay. I think we really need

618
00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:10,160
Speaker 1: to invest in the offensive line. I would like to

619
00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:14,040
Speaker 1: see first round wide receivers, second third round offensive lineman,

620
00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:17,040
Speaker 1: and then try to bring in a couple of veteran

621
00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:20,080
Speaker 1: guys on the offensive line for a reasonable amount of

622
00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:23,880
Speaker 1: money if they could. I really think you serve you

623
00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:28,000
Speaker 1: really help your offense a lot by really solidifying that

624
00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:32,000
Speaker 1: offensive line. And I think we can't overlook that because

625
00:36:32,040 --> 00:36:35,560
Speaker 1: we're so in search of weapons. So that's the first

626
00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:37,279
Speaker 1: thing I'd like to say. The other thing I'd like

627
00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:40,920
Speaker 1: to say, really quick is we always point to the

628
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:44,520
Speaker 1: standings of where our offense and defense finishes up. We're

629
00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:47,800
Speaker 1: top five offense, we're top five defense, blah blah blah.

630
00:36:48,239 --> 00:36:51,640
Speaker 1: And as significant as that is and as important as

631
00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:54,920
Speaker 1: that is, it's reflective of the regular season, and we

632
00:36:55,120 --> 00:36:57,200
Speaker 1: look at the end of the year where we get

633
00:36:57,239 --> 00:37:02,120
Speaker 1: eliminated in the division in AFC playoffs the last three years,

634
00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:04,880
Speaker 1: and if you look at our performances of our offense

635
00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:09,279
Speaker 1: and defense, three out of those years, defensively we were

636
00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:12,439
Speaker 1: nowhere near up to a top five defense. We look

637
00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:15,239
Speaker 1: at the production and how we played, and two of

638
00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:18,600
Speaker 1: those three years was the same thing offensively. My point

639
00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:24,239
Speaker 1: is this, we can't overlook the performance of what's going

640
00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:26,960
Speaker 1: on at the end of the year when the competition

641
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:29,880
Speaker 1: gets great. Because we do so well during the offense

642
00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:33,279
Speaker 1: during the regular season, we can't let that overshadow it.

643
00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:36,320
Speaker 1: We need to make hard decisions and find out where

644
00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:41,520
Speaker 1: the disconnect is between how we perform regular season and playoffs.

645
00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:45,040
Speaker 1: And obviously the competition is a lot harder, so you're

646
00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:47,719
Speaker 1: not maybe not going to perform as well. But we

647
00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:50,160
Speaker 1: can't have a drop off like we've had for three

648
00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:52,680
Speaker 1: years now. Yeah, I get you, and yet's good, this

649
00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:55,640
Speaker 1: point well made, Mark, and I get it about particularly

650
00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:57,320
Speaker 1: about the rankings and how they're at the end of

651
00:37:57,360 --> 00:38:01,320
Speaker 1: the season. I've said a lot, you know, nobody really

652
00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:05,320
Speaker 1: wants to hear it, but the Bills, their roster, their players,

653
00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:08,759
Speaker 1: their coaches have been good enough and talented enough to

654
00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:11,640
Speaker 1: win the Super Bowl for the last three years, and

655
00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:14,000
Speaker 1: they haven't gotten it done on those crucial days. You get.

656
00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:15,879
Speaker 1: They got close. They got to the thirteen second mark

657
00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:17,680
Speaker 1: to get to the AFC Championship game, which would have

658
00:38:17,680 --> 00:38:20,279
Speaker 1: been in Buffalo. They got to the AFC Championship game

659
00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:23,520
Speaker 1: against Kansas City, and Kansas City admittedly played their best

660
00:38:23,600 --> 00:38:26,880
Speaker 1: game of that season in twenty twenty against the Bills

661
00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:30,920
Speaker 1: in the championship game. You have to play well, You're right.

662
00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:35,600
Speaker 1: Statistics don't matter. You got to play well on game

663
00:38:35,719 --> 00:38:38,640
Speaker 1: day in the playoffs or you lose. And the Bills

664
00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:42,160
Speaker 1: have been a victim of that over the last three years.

665
00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:44,239
Speaker 1: That final game, they haven't played well enough. You can

666
00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:46,040
Speaker 1: say what you wanted about the thirteen second game, they

667
00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:49,960
Speaker 1: still gave that team, let them off the hook, and

668
00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:54,040
Speaker 1: they went to the a FC Championship game and hosted it.

669
00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:57,200
Speaker 1: They subsequently lost it. But you got to know that

670
00:38:57,239 --> 00:38:59,360
Speaker 1: the Bills, it would have been a different game against Cincinnati.

671
00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:01,600
Speaker 1: Maybe this angles would have beaten the Bills in Buffalo

672
00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:03,920
Speaker 1: like they did the Chiefs in Kansas City. But you

673
00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:06,560
Speaker 1: surely surely would have loved to have a swing at that.

674
00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:11,400
Speaker 1: You're right, You gotta play well on game day in

675
00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:15,040
Speaker 1: the playoffs. All the stats you've accumulated, all the good

676
00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:17,040
Speaker 1: things that you've done through the year, don't mean anything

677
00:39:17,160 --> 00:39:19,920
Speaker 1: on that game because you gotta play, and you're playing

678
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:22,920
Speaker 1: usually or at least a couple of you play a

679
00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:24,680
Speaker 1: team that you haven't seen for a long time. Now.

680
00:39:24,719 --> 00:39:28,080
Speaker 1: It would have been different in Cincinnati because of the

681
00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:29,640
Speaker 1: Monday night game and the way the fact that it

682
00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:33,719
Speaker 1: didn't happen. But it didn't happen. So you're right, that's

683
00:39:33,719 --> 00:39:38,120
Speaker 1: a problem, and I'm willing to listen to Although we

684
00:39:38,120 --> 00:39:43,080
Speaker 1: were here in the exact same spot last year with Diggs, Davis, Knox,

685
00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:50,640
Speaker 1: Morris McKenzie, and at that time as Hodgins was here,

686
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:53,239
Speaker 1: we had all these guys. Hey, somebody's gonna these guys

687
00:39:53,239 --> 00:39:55,040
Speaker 1: are gonna be good. You know. Davis ended on a

688
00:39:55,120 --> 00:39:57,080
Speaker 1: high note. Diggs is gonna be good again, Knox is

689
00:39:57,080 --> 00:39:59,480
Speaker 1: gonna take another step forward. We're kind of right there,

690
00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:02,560
Speaker 1: coming a nine touchdown season, and you're and market from

691
00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:04,879
Speaker 1: west Sene, You're saying you believe in him again. With

692
00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:09,240
Speaker 1: Shakier and Cook added to that mix, You're you're thinking

693
00:40:09,320 --> 00:40:11,560
Speaker 1: that they are good at and I'm I'm kind of

694
00:40:11,560 --> 00:40:14,920
Speaker 1: with you. They better have some insurance. They scored a

695
00:40:15,040 --> 00:40:17,480
Speaker 1: ton of points this year. They scored a ton of

696
00:40:17,520 --> 00:40:20,000
Speaker 1: points this year and had a lot of yards. And

697
00:40:20,080 --> 00:40:22,399
Speaker 1: you add Crowder to the mix. He was playing well.

698
00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:25,520
Speaker 1: I went back and watched some games. Crowder was really

699
00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:29,520
Speaker 1: helping before he broke his leg. Okay, well he'll be back,

700
00:40:29,520 --> 00:40:31,759
Speaker 1: and if you'd sign him back, that'd be great. But

701
00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:35,279
Speaker 1: with Shakier and Morris another year under their belt, yeah,

702
00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:38,920
Speaker 1: maybe they will be helping a little bit more, no

703
00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:41,600
Speaker 1: question about it. I'm kind of with you. At the

704
00:40:41,600 --> 00:40:45,480
Speaker 1: bottom line, I think this offseason's about the offensive line,

705
00:40:46,040 --> 00:40:49,120
Speaker 1: drafting those guys, getting him in free agency. If you

706
00:40:49,120 --> 00:40:51,480
Speaker 1: can run the ball better with those guys up front,

707
00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:54,960
Speaker 1: if you've got them a little bit more dominant, dominant

708
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:58,200
Speaker 1: physical presence up in the middle land on the at

709
00:40:58,200 --> 00:41:00,440
Speaker 1: the tackles. When those guys you know, play well and

710
00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:04,439
Speaker 1: stay healthy, yeah, everything changes for Josh and all those

711
00:41:04,440 --> 00:41:06,560
Speaker 1: guys outside. So I'm kind of with you on that.

712
00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:11,480
Speaker 1: I gotta say for most of that, I'm yeah, I'm

713
00:41:11,480 --> 00:41:15,600
Speaker 1: with you. I like the weapons we've got. They certainly

714
00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:18,080
Speaker 1: scored enough points this last year to advance, and they

715
00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:21,160
Speaker 1: but your second point is the one that's really relevant. Yeah,

716
00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:22,480
Speaker 1: and I've got to do it in the playoffs. And

717
00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:26,560
Speaker 1: I've said this before too. The Chiefs are a team

718
00:41:26,600 --> 00:41:28,400
Speaker 1: that's a couple of years ahead of the Bills in

719
00:41:28,520 --> 00:41:32,600
Speaker 1: terms of their build, their roster build, and certain things

720
00:41:32,640 --> 00:41:37,240
Speaker 1: come due in terms of expenditures and players salaries ahead

721
00:41:37,239 --> 00:41:40,759
Speaker 1: of They're almost like a look ahead for what the

722
00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:42,560
Speaker 1: Bills are going to encounter in a year or two.

723
00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:45,320
Speaker 1: They experienced that at the quarterback position with the large,

724
00:41:45,320 --> 00:41:48,640
Speaker 1: fat contract, you know, for the franchise quarterback, and how

725
00:41:48,680 --> 00:41:51,239
Speaker 1: you manipulate the roster after that, and where you make

726
00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:54,279
Speaker 1: sacrifices and where you invest And what did they do

727
00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:58,040
Speaker 1: two years ago to invest? They made a trade for

728
00:41:58,080 --> 00:42:01,960
Speaker 1: their left tackle, Orlando Brown. They signed Joe Tuney at

729
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:03,759
Speaker 1: the top of the market at the guard position in

730
00:42:03,800 --> 00:42:07,040
Speaker 1: free agency, and they drafted Creed Humphrey in the first round.

731
00:42:07,680 --> 00:42:09,640
Speaker 1: And now they have one of the best offensive lines

732
00:42:09,680 --> 00:42:13,839
Speaker 1: in the league because of it. Where did they sacrifice

733
00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:17,160
Speaker 1: on the defensive side of the ball. The very next year,

734
00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:21,719
Speaker 1: They didn't resign r Various War to starting cornerback. They

735
00:42:21,719 --> 00:42:25,200
Speaker 1: didn't bring back Tyranne Matthew they let him go to

736
00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:29,759
Speaker 1: to free agency. So there's a certain given take that

737
00:42:29,840 --> 00:42:32,680
Speaker 1: the Chiefs decided to make. They invested in their offense,

738
00:42:32,760 --> 00:42:36,120
Speaker 1: in their line, and they replaced Tyreek Hill with a

739
00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:39,200
Speaker 1: bunch of players. Instead of paying Tyreek Hill thirty million

740
00:42:39,200 --> 00:42:42,120
Speaker 1: a year, they traded him away. The Bills are gonna

741
00:42:42,160 --> 00:42:44,640
Speaker 1: have to take that similar approach, I think going forward

742
00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:47,719
Speaker 1: and the offensive line and the receiver position are two

743
00:42:47,800 --> 00:42:49,799
Speaker 1: areas where that's going to have to happen. We got

744
00:42:49,800 --> 00:42:51,319
Speaker 1: to take a break here, but more are your phone

745
00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:54,080
Speaker 1: calls when we come back. What's the most effective way

746
00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:56,640
Speaker 1: to take the load off Josh and make things easier

747
00:42:56,680 --> 00:42:59,560
Speaker 1: for him next season? We take your phone calls. Next

748
00:42:59,560 --> 00:43:02,640
Speaker 1: segment here again on One Bill's Live, presented by Klota Health.

749
00:43:02,640 --> 00:43:12,319
Speaker 1: This is Buffalo Bill's Radio. All right, you gotta tell

750
00:43:12,360 --> 00:43:14,440
Speaker 1: us the most effective way to take the load off

751
00:43:14,520 --> 00:43:18,839
Speaker 1: Josh Allen next season by roster or otherwise. You let

752
00:43:18,920 --> 00:43:22,040
Speaker 1: us know. Eight oh three, five fifty. Back to the phones,

753
00:43:22,080 --> 00:43:24,200
Speaker 1: we go, and we go to Rosalind in Buffalo. What

754
00:43:24,200 --> 00:43:26,840
Speaker 1: do you got for us? Rosalind? Hey, guys, how's it

755
00:43:26,960 --> 00:43:32,520
Speaker 1: going today? Good good? I'm just calling you from North Buffalo. Guys,

756
00:43:32,560 --> 00:43:35,560
Speaker 1: you've not been watching football a long time. And from

757
00:43:35,560 --> 00:43:40,160
Speaker 1: my perspective, you know, we drafted one of the best quarterbacks,

758
00:43:40,239 --> 00:43:42,719
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, that we could have gotten in Buffalo. We

759
00:43:42,880 --> 00:43:46,879
Speaker 1: really got lucky with him. From my perspective, he has

760
00:43:46,960 --> 00:43:50,520
Speaker 1: not been given enough time for our place to develop.

761
00:43:50,640 --> 00:43:54,400
Speaker 1: That kid is running for his life. And you hit

762
00:43:54,440 --> 00:43:57,280
Speaker 1: the nail right on the head before we went to break.

763
00:43:57,719 --> 00:44:00,680
Speaker 1: Kansas City did the right thing. They stood in their

764
00:44:00,719 --> 00:44:04,600
Speaker 1: offensive line. You know, we don't need big name, you

765
00:44:04,600 --> 00:44:08,799
Speaker 1: know football players. You saw what they did, so why

766
00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:11,040
Speaker 1: can't we do the same thing. And this has been

767
00:44:11,080 --> 00:44:14,040
Speaker 1: going on for a couple of years. I mean, you know, yeah,

768
00:44:14,080 --> 00:44:16,759
Speaker 1: we got Von Miller. We invested in our defense, but

769
00:44:16,840 --> 00:44:20,200
Speaker 1: we did invest in our offensive line. Yeah, we've got digs,

770
00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:23,120
Speaker 1: We've got We've got all these guys. We don't need

771
00:44:23,160 --> 00:44:27,239
Speaker 1: to create the wheel here. And then on defense, my

772
00:44:27,360 --> 00:44:31,200
Speaker 1: comment on defense is, yeah, we do need to help

773
00:44:31,239 --> 00:44:33,960
Speaker 1: in our secondary. You know, I don't know what happened

774
00:44:33,960 --> 00:44:35,839
Speaker 1: to the team. I mean, it just seemed like they

775
00:44:35,960 --> 00:44:40,560
Speaker 1: ran out of steam, you know at the end. You know, yeah,

776
00:44:40,160 --> 00:44:44,200
Speaker 1: we were hurts, but our guys came back that Cincinnati

777
00:44:44,280 --> 00:44:47,360
Speaker 1: game when we found out that they had three players

778
00:44:47,400 --> 00:44:50,359
Speaker 1: on their offense that weren't starters. We should have ran

779
00:44:50,520 --> 00:44:55,040
Speaker 1: all over them. It seemed like we were in slow motion. Yeah,

780
00:44:55,080 --> 00:44:57,880
Speaker 1: and they and you know, the Bills very quietly, I

781
00:44:57,880 --> 00:44:59,920
Speaker 1: don't know how many people. And thanks for the call, Roslin.

782
00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:05,239
Speaker 1: We gotta jump here. We've said this before too. Yes,

783
00:45:05,400 --> 00:45:08,560
Speaker 1: the Bengals were without three starting offensive lineman. The Bills

784
00:45:08,560 --> 00:45:11,480
Speaker 1: were also without de Kwon Jones in that game, who

785
00:45:11,520 --> 00:45:14,520
Speaker 1: had played in every other game this season, logged the

786
00:45:14,600 --> 00:45:17,360
Speaker 1: majority of the snaps at the one technique and was

787
00:45:17,440 --> 00:45:20,279
Speaker 1: probably the best run stuffer on the team. And then

788
00:45:20,320 --> 00:45:22,759
Speaker 1: you had Jordan Phillips playing with one arm with a

789
00:45:22,840 --> 00:45:25,520
Speaker 1: torn rotator cuff, so when von Miller was out and

790
00:45:25,600 --> 00:45:28,600
Speaker 1: no von Miller, so essentially you had three guys in

791
00:45:28,680 --> 00:45:30,920
Speaker 1: the top six of their rotation for the Bills on

792
00:45:30,960 --> 00:45:34,200
Speaker 1: the defensive side out. But your point about safety is

793
00:45:34,239 --> 00:45:36,840
Speaker 1: well noted. I think that was the missing link in

794
00:45:36,880 --> 00:45:39,840
Speaker 1: the secondary, not having Micah Hyde since week two, Jordan

795
00:45:39,840 --> 00:45:42,160
Speaker 1: Poyer in and out of the lineup, missing five or

796
00:45:42,200 --> 00:45:46,080
Speaker 1: six games due to injury, Damar Hamlin was out, and

797
00:45:46,080 --> 00:45:49,040
Speaker 1: then Damar Hamlin goes down. Juan Johnson had started in

798
00:45:49,120 --> 00:45:53,000
Speaker 1: place of Damar, and they made the switch. They moved

799
00:45:53,000 --> 00:45:55,960
Speaker 1: to Damar from Jaquan Johnson early on after the after

800
00:45:56,000 --> 00:45:57,839
Speaker 1: the injury times. We're both of them had to play,

801
00:45:57,880 --> 00:46:01,719
Speaker 1: and yeah, so you can make the that Jaquan was

802
00:46:01,800 --> 00:46:05,359
Speaker 1: like the third guy that would have been in there. So, yeah,

803
00:46:05,360 --> 00:46:10,400
Speaker 1: the point's well taken. And also, Steve, I think we

804
00:46:10,520 --> 00:46:14,279
Speaker 1: kind of got spoiled a little bit with the way

805
00:46:14,600 --> 00:46:16,560
Speaker 1: Poyor and Hide have worked together for the better part

806
00:46:16,560 --> 00:46:19,520
Speaker 1: of the last five seasons. I mean, they covered up

807
00:46:19,560 --> 00:46:25,120
Speaker 1: a lot and neutralized a lot of potential disasters. I

808
00:46:25,120 --> 00:46:27,960
Speaker 1: mean they were diffusing bombs every week, but it was

809
00:46:28,040 --> 00:46:32,759
Speaker 1: just they were still good at it. I think as onlookers,

810
00:46:32,760 --> 00:46:35,279
Speaker 1: we almost took it for granted how effective they were

811
00:46:35,680 --> 00:46:39,680
Speaker 1: in shutting things down. I think if you can, I know,

812
00:46:39,800 --> 00:46:42,600
Speaker 1: it's just a philosophical thing. If you can get more

813
00:46:42,640 --> 00:46:46,759
Speaker 1: dominant offensively, you really put pressure on teams to keep up,

814
00:46:48,120 --> 00:46:51,520
Speaker 1: and it's not easy to do even if your defense

815
00:46:51,680 --> 00:46:55,360
Speaker 1: is I still think that secondary when they're healthy, is

816
00:46:55,400 --> 00:47:00,200
Speaker 1: going to be as good as anybody's. But I think

817
00:47:00,200 --> 00:47:02,560
Speaker 1: he put pressure on them from both sides of the football.

818
00:47:02,600 --> 00:47:04,799
Speaker 1: But I think often the league has slanted towards that

819
00:47:04,840 --> 00:47:07,560
Speaker 1: side of the ball. You can't. I don't think you

820
00:47:07,560 --> 00:47:11,799
Speaker 1: can be deficient on offense. I mean, look at the

821
00:47:11,960 --> 00:47:16,359
Speaker 1: season that the Detroit Lions had and the Minnesota Vikings had.

822
00:47:17,200 --> 00:47:19,239
Speaker 1: They were at the top of the conference with a

823
00:47:19,320 --> 00:47:23,799
Speaker 1: chance to go with a defense that was statistically poor,

824
00:47:24,840 --> 00:47:30,759
Speaker 1: very poor, and yet they were ringing people up and

825
00:47:30,880 --> 00:47:33,279
Speaker 1: one more than they lost, one more than they lost,

826
00:47:33,320 --> 00:47:35,840
Speaker 1: and they did it with a roster that preseason was

827
00:47:35,880 --> 00:47:39,160
Speaker 1: thought to be middle of the road at best. So

828
00:47:39,400 --> 00:47:42,880
Speaker 1: and that's how the Lions finished up. But they're the

829
00:47:42,920 --> 00:47:45,600
Speaker 1: Lions are man finished there the flavor of the month.

830
00:47:46,239 --> 00:47:50,440
Speaker 1: They finish with the season they had the Minnesota Vikings.

831
00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:56,480
Speaker 1: It's an old story for them, but their defense was

832
00:47:56,600 --> 00:47:58,480
Speaker 1: nothing to write home about, it right, And they won

833
00:47:58,560 --> 00:48:01,040
Speaker 1: ten one score games this year because their offense could

834
00:48:01,040 --> 00:48:02,759
Speaker 1: finish at the end of football. It's right. So I'm

835
00:48:02,840 --> 00:48:05,960
Speaker 1: I'm kind of with you. I want the offensive line

836
00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:11,840
Speaker 1: to be big, bad and young and cheap, a little nasty,

837
00:48:11,920 --> 00:48:14,680
Speaker 1: and because I like the guys they have on the outside.

838
00:48:14,760 --> 00:48:16,960
Speaker 1: Certainly we had more drops than we liked, but they

839
00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:20,160
Speaker 1: had guys that were getting separation that every so Walt,

840
00:48:20,239 --> 00:48:22,600
Speaker 1: you know, guys make really nice catches. Digs is as

841
00:48:22,680 --> 00:48:26,960
Speaker 1: good as there is Davis. Sometimes I thought maybe just

842
00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:31,439
Speaker 1: needs some more opportunities. Shaquire the same thing, cook same thing.

843
00:48:33,160 --> 00:48:36,320
Speaker 1: You know, there's a lot there to like, and certainly

844
00:48:36,560 --> 00:48:38,080
Speaker 1: the end of the season leaves a bad taste in

845
00:48:38,120 --> 00:48:43,480
Speaker 1: everybody's mouth. But I'm not gonna Yeah, I'm not gonna

846
00:48:43,800 --> 00:48:46,640
Speaker 1: throw out a lot of really good football players just

847
00:48:46,680 --> 00:48:50,239
Speaker 1: because the season ended on a sour note. Yeah, we

848
00:48:50,400 --> 00:48:53,000
Speaker 1: have to take a break here, but when we return,

849
00:48:53,480 --> 00:48:57,399
Speaker 1: we are going to be joined by NFL network analytics

851

857
00:49:59,040 --> 00:50:01,120
Speaker 1: me with you. One Bills Live was the show and

858
00:50:01,280 --> 00:50:06,480
Speaker 1: pleased to be joined now by NFL Networks self proclaimed

859
00:50:07,120 --> 00:50:10,959
Speaker 1: numbers nerd. It is Cynthia Freeland joining us. I would

860
00:50:10,960 --> 00:50:12,520
Speaker 1: do it Cynthia. Good to see you here on this

861
00:50:12,560 --> 00:50:16,200
Speaker 1: super Bowl week. So great to see you. And also,

862
00:50:16,440 --> 00:50:19,359
Speaker 1: you know Bill's preseason. This is a big deal for me.

863
00:50:19,400 --> 00:50:22,799
Speaker 1: I always ever sells love there you were. You were

864
00:50:22,800 --> 00:50:25,040
Speaker 1: on the sidelines last week the East West Shrine game too,

865
00:50:25,080 --> 00:50:28,239
Speaker 1: after he did the preseason with us every year. That was, yeah,

866
00:50:28,239 --> 00:50:33,400
Speaker 1: how'd that go? So the actual shrine week was epic.

867
00:50:33,760 --> 00:50:37,080
Speaker 1: The actual game was a little slow. It was a

868
00:50:37,080 --> 00:50:39,359
Speaker 1: little slow, I think it was. It was funny because

869
00:50:39,400 --> 00:50:42,200
Speaker 1: this year the Patriots were one coaching staff and the

870
00:50:42,239 --> 00:50:45,000
Speaker 1: Falcons were the other, and it was it was just

871
00:50:45,080 --> 00:50:47,440
Speaker 1: a different vibe than before when they had like piece

872
00:50:47,520 --> 00:50:50,759
Speaker 1: together staffs with like different from different teams. So just

873
00:50:51,120 --> 00:50:53,799
Speaker 1: a different experience. But there's a lot of good players there.

874
00:50:54,080 --> 00:50:56,160
Speaker 1: Some of them didn't play in the game, but they

875
00:50:56,160 --> 00:50:57,920
Speaker 1: were at practice, so you did get a chance to

876
00:50:57,920 --> 00:51:00,480
Speaker 1: see them there. Yeah, that's a cool thing. We're in

877
00:51:00,520 --> 00:51:02,719
Speaker 1: that season now, like the whole pre draft thing, and

878
00:51:02,760 --> 00:51:05,000
Speaker 1: I know you're that's probably a little down the line

879
00:51:05,040 --> 00:51:07,960
Speaker 1: for you with some of the you know, evaluations that

880
00:51:08,000 --> 00:51:10,360
Speaker 1: you'll be doing and you know, crunching the analytics on

881
00:51:10,400 --> 00:51:14,640
Speaker 1: those prospects. I did find you know, you had a

882
00:51:14,640 --> 00:51:18,719
Speaker 1: piece back on Championship weekend that I liked a lot.

883
00:51:18,760 --> 00:51:20,600
Speaker 1: It was like one thing that each of the teams

884
00:51:20,600 --> 00:51:23,800
Speaker 1: does better than the other kind of thing, and I

885
00:51:24,800 --> 00:51:27,359
Speaker 1: was still fascinated by it from the very jump. With

886
00:51:27,400 --> 00:51:31,840
Speaker 1: the Chiefs because not having Tyreek, I was really interested

887
00:51:31,880 --> 00:51:33,839
Speaker 1: in how their offense was going to kind of morph

888
00:51:33,920 --> 00:51:36,040
Speaker 1: and change because they're not going to be able to

889
00:51:36,080 --> 00:51:38,319
Speaker 1: just throw him a pass and expect him to run

890
00:51:38,360 --> 00:51:42,320
Speaker 1: sixty yards to pay dirt. So I guess it didn't

891
00:51:42,440 --> 00:51:46,200
Speaker 1: shock me that their yards per attempt were down and

892
00:51:46,239 --> 00:51:50,640
Speaker 1: their passing game was shorter by nature, but they made

893
00:51:50,640 --> 00:51:55,359
Speaker 1: it work, Like I was surprised that it remained effective

894
00:51:55,440 --> 00:51:58,120
Speaker 1: wire to wire here for them. Were you surprised by that?

895
00:51:59,640 --> 00:52:01,440
Speaker 1: I get it was a surprised to see that Patrick

896
00:52:01,480 --> 00:52:04,680
Speaker 1: Mahomes had thrown the most touchdown passes of ten or

897
00:52:04,760 --> 00:52:07,399
Speaker 1: fewer air yards this season, just because when you when

898
00:52:07,400 --> 00:52:09,360
Speaker 1: you close your eyes you think of Patrick Mahomes, you

899
00:52:09,400 --> 00:52:12,960
Speaker 1: think of like horizontal passes going thirty yards from some

900
00:52:13,040 --> 00:52:16,040
Speaker 1: weird arm angle that just doesn't make any sense. But

901
00:52:16,200 --> 00:52:19,280
Speaker 1: he has he has twelve more touchdown passes the next

902
00:52:19,280 --> 00:52:22,759
Speaker 1: closest guy on those shorter distance passes and it was

903
00:52:22,840 --> 00:52:26,160
Speaker 1: interesting and I know you're showing some you know, MVS

904
00:52:26,239 --> 00:52:29,040
Speaker 1: highlights here. It's interesting to see who's had to pick

905
00:52:29,120 --> 00:52:32,439
Speaker 1: up the yac like Mark Valdas Gantling did not have

906
00:52:32,480 --> 00:52:35,120
Speaker 1: a real like after the catch situation when he was

907
00:52:35,360 --> 00:52:37,839
Speaker 1: at his former team with the Packers. But they've moved

908
00:52:37,960 --> 00:52:41,399
Speaker 1: Kelsey around the formation, they've moved MVS, they've adapted when

909
00:52:41,400 --> 00:52:44,000
Speaker 1: they got injured. You saw that last week with Kadarius

910
00:52:44,080 --> 00:52:47,120
Speaker 1: Tony leaving early especially and no Drew Juice Miss Schuster.

911
00:52:47,400 --> 00:52:49,600
Speaker 1: So it's been really interesting to see all the different

912
00:52:49,600 --> 00:52:51,600
Speaker 1: formations they've been running and how they've had to kind

913
00:52:51,640 --> 00:52:54,560
Speaker 1: of adapt and make it, make it happen so that

914
00:52:54,640 --> 00:52:56,840
Speaker 1: you could still get Travis Kelsey the ball. Yeah, we've

915
00:52:56,880 --> 00:52:58,920
Speaker 1: been talking about how these two teams were built in

916
00:52:58,920 --> 00:53:02,280
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl Philly in Kansas City, Mahomes famously signed

917
00:53:02,320 --> 00:53:05,719
Speaker 1: that half a billion dollar contract that is you know,

918
00:53:05,800 --> 00:53:07,600
Speaker 1: he's gonna I think he's gonna be a chief until

919
00:53:07,600 --> 00:53:11,640
Speaker 1: he's sixty two. But but they've had to work around

920
00:53:11,640 --> 00:53:13,600
Speaker 1: that contract and they've seemed to have done it. They've

921
00:53:13,600 --> 00:53:16,080
Speaker 1: got contributions from a lot of young guys and some

922
00:53:16,160 --> 00:53:19,440
Speaker 1: cheap labor after bolstering an offensive line. I mean they

923
00:53:19,920 --> 00:53:23,719
Speaker 1: seem to have hit on a lot of cylinders. Absolutely,

924
00:53:23,760 --> 00:53:26,520
Speaker 1: And if you're looking in this upcoming game, I mean

925
00:53:26,640 --> 00:53:29,840
Speaker 1: Lagarius Snead, who just cleared concussion protocol. He'll be a

926
00:53:29,840 --> 00:53:31,839
Speaker 1: free agent this season, so they're still getting him at

927
00:53:31,840 --> 00:53:34,160
Speaker 1: pretty much a premium. I think he will. He's shown

928
00:53:34,200 --> 00:53:36,440
Speaker 1: a lot at that star position, in the nicol corner

929
00:53:36,520 --> 00:53:39,400
Speaker 1: position and out wide. Actually, I think I don't know

930
00:53:39,440 --> 00:53:41,040
Speaker 1: if they're gonna be able to afford to keep him,

931
00:53:41,080 --> 00:53:43,600
Speaker 1: but it'll be interesting to see. You know, he's got

932
00:53:43,600 --> 00:53:45,799
Speaker 1: a whole contract on the line, so that could be

933
00:53:45,960 --> 00:53:47,680
Speaker 1: a big game from him, could mean a lot of

934
00:53:47,680 --> 00:53:52,320
Speaker 1: money for another team. There's a lot about the Eagles

935
00:53:52,520 --> 00:53:56,080
Speaker 1: that is impressive this season, and obviously the addition of

936
00:53:56,080 --> 00:53:58,160
Speaker 1: a j Brown says a lot. I think the quality

937
00:53:58,200 --> 00:54:01,200
Speaker 1: of their lines on offense inde fence is also something.

938
00:54:01,840 --> 00:54:06,879
Speaker 1: But their short yardage success this year Cynthia, not only

939
00:54:06,880 --> 00:54:10,160
Speaker 1: on third down but on fourth down two is uncanny.

940
00:54:10,280 --> 00:54:13,080
Speaker 1: Like we see that a lot here with Josh and

941
00:54:13,160 --> 00:54:15,720
Speaker 1: it's like, Okay, he's a six five, two hundred forty

942
00:54:15,719 --> 00:54:19,200
Speaker 1: five pound quarterback. Yeah, he's pretty much a sure thing

943
00:54:19,280 --> 00:54:22,600
Speaker 1: on sneaks, but Jalen Hurts is like just as good

944
00:54:22,640 --> 00:54:25,399
Speaker 1: and he's like half of Josh's size, Like what's going

945
00:54:25,480 --> 00:54:29,000
Speaker 1: on there? Well, part of the fact is it's the

946
00:54:29,080 --> 00:54:32,279
Speaker 1: best o line in football this season, so that, you know,

947
00:54:32,520 --> 00:54:35,800
Speaker 1: quite helpful thing to have happened there. Plus the addition

948
00:54:35,840 --> 00:54:38,080
Speaker 1: of the way that they've kind of folded in or

949
00:54:38,120 --> 00:54:42,600
Speaker 1: not folded in strategically used the kind of the field

950
00:54:42,640 --> 00:54:46,239
Speaker 1: stretching weapons as well as designed quarterback runs. I mean,

951
00:54:46,400 --> 00:54:48,840
Speaker 1: we haven't actually even seen Hurts really do any design

952
00:54:48,880 --> 00:54:51,000
Speaker 1: to run since he hurt his shoulder so well over

953
00:54:51,080 --> 00:54:53,399
Speaker 1: a month. But if you're seeing like where he's been

954
00:54:53,440 --> 00:54:57,000
Speaker 1: super effective and efficient, it's been like, you know, kind

955
00:54:57,000 --> 00:54:59,279
Speaker 1: of an issue where Miles Sanders doesn't pick up a

956
00:54:59,280 --> 00:55:00,960
Speaker 1: block and he's like, well, gotta go on my own.

957
00:55:01,200 --> 00:55:02,880
Speaker 1: You know, Miles Standards didn't pick up the blitz, so

958
00:55:03,120 --> 00:55:05,319
Speaker 1: I'm going to go scramble for my life now, which

959
00:55:05,360 --> 00:55:07,600
Speaker 1: is it's just a different way from Josh. Josh just

960
00:55:07,719 --> 00:55:10,600
Speaker 1: muscles it. Hurts just sort of bounces around and responds

961
00:55:10,680 --> 00:55:12,839
Speaker 1: to it. So in the next end, when you see

962
00:55:12,840 --> 00:55:15,400
Speaker 1: these two teams matchup and the you know, and the

963
00:55:15,440 --> 00:55:19,719
Speaker 1: difference in the and the way they're structured. You're right,

964
00:55:20,080 --> 00:55:22,759
Speaker 1: it was the line of scrimmage has been Philadelphias on

965
00:55:22,840 --> 00:55:24,719
Speaker 1: both sides of the ball, and that's really been the

966
00:55:24,840 --> 00:55:28,840
Speaker 1: engine that has driven them all season. Correct, absolutely. I

967
00:55:28,880 --> 00:55:31,160
Speaker 1: mean they had seventy sacks, so that's the most in

968
00:55:31,200 --> 00:55:33,759
Speaker 1: the league by a lot. And you know they are

969
00:55:33,760 --> 00:55:36,480
Speaker 1: also we're getting pressure without using the blitz, which is

970
00:55:36,600 --> 00:55:39,399
Speaker 1: very helpful because you can drop guys in coverage. If

971
00:55:39,400 --> 00:55:42,040
Speaker 1: there was one weakness or the area that you know

972
00:55:42,080 --> 00:55:45,520
Speaker 1: Andy Reid will look to exploit, it's probably the linebacker level,

973
00:55:45,600 --> 00:55:48,960
Speaker 1: especially linebackers in coverage, and the safeties and you know

974
00:55:49,000 --> 00:55:52,120
Speaker 1: sometimes CJ. Gardner Johnson play safety, so I'm excluding him

975
00:55:52,200 --> 00:55:55,439
Speaker 1: from that, but you know, the safeties other than him,

976
00:55:55,520 --> 00:55:57,960
Speaker 1: because if you see the area of the field that

977
00:55:58,000 --> 00:56:00,520
Speaker 1: has been most targeted, they have almost a fifty completion

978
00:56:00,560 --> 00:56:03,520
Speaker 1: percentage allowed in that back middle third of the field,

979
00:56:03,520 --> 00:56:06,160
Speaker 1: which is kind of like the Travis Kelsey area. So

980
00:56:06,520 --> 00:56:08,319
Speaker 1: that's where I would think that Andy Reid would look

981
00:56:08,320 --> 00:56:11,560
Speaker 1: to exploit because the other areas just seem like, well,

982
00:56:11,680 --> 00:56:13,919
Speaker 1: we got all these guys that are going to rush

983
00:56:13,960 --> 00:56:17,520
Speaker 1: the passer, and we've got these great corners and yeah,

984
00:56:17,560 --> 00:56:19,880
Speaker 1: there are all lines pretty nasty and we can stretch

985
00:56:19,920 --> 00:56:21,960
Speaker 1: the field. So we got a lot of things covered,

986
00:56:22,000 --> 00:56:24,680
Speaker 1: but maybe the one area we don't necessarily have covered

987
00:56:24,800 --> 00:56:28,640
Speaker 1: is the Travis Kelsey area. Yeah. I want to talk

988
00:56:28,640 --> 00:56:32,000
Speaker 1: a little Bills here, Cynthia, because there is one thing

989
00:56:32,520 --> 00:56:35,440
Speaker 1: that comes up from time to time with our fans,

990
00:56:35,440 --> 00:56:37,160
Speaker 1: you know, they call into this show, and Steve and

991
00:56:37,200 --> 00:56:39,320
Speaker 1: I have tried to kind of wrap our heads around

992
00:56:39,719 --> 00:56:42,760
Speaker 1: why it is the case Bills are a very prolific

993
00:56:42,800 --> 00:56:46,319
Speaker 1: passing team, but they rank low almost every year in

994
00:56:46,400 --> 00:56:49,759
Speaker 1: yards after catch, and we kind of suspect that it's

995
00:56:49,760 --> 00:56:51,799
Speaker 1: partly due to the fact that Josh is kind of

996
00:56:51,840 --> 00:56:54,920
Speaker 1: like a put it on you passer. He's not a

997
00:56:55,600 --> 00:56:59,160
Speaker 1: throw you into space passer necessarily all the time. So

998
00:56:59,200 --> 00:57:02,680
Speaker 1: we're thinking that's part of it. Is there a metric

999
00:57:02,800 --> 00:57:07,440
Speaker 1: anywhere that can help spell out why you know the

1000
00:57:07,480 --> 00:57:11,239
Speaker 1: Bills typically rank very low in yards after catch as

1001
00:57:11,280 --> 00:57:15,439
Speaker 1: a team, Well, a couple of things. First, if you're

1002
00:57:15,480 --> 00:57:18,000
Speaker 1: looking to see what kind of passes Josh throws, he

1003
00:57:18,040 --> 00:57:21,200
Speaker 1: throws deeper passes. So if you have longer air yards

1004
00:57:21,240 --> 00:57:24,280
Speaker 1: per attempt passes, it just takes longer for the play

1005
00:57:24,320 --> 00:57:27,080
Speaker 1: to develop, and it also becomes a deeper pass, which

1006
00:57:27,120 --> 00:57:29,880
Speaker 1: means sometimes you're already like I'd be curious to see,

1007
00:57:29,880 --> 00:57:32,480
Speaker 1: like how many end up in the end zone, right,

1008
00:57:32,480 --> 00:57:34,680
Speaker 1: because if you're only running five yards to get to

1009
00:57:34,680 --> 00:57:36,280
Speaker 1: the end zone, like, that's not a lot of yards

1010
00:57:36,320 --> 00:57:38,880
Speaker 1: after the catch because you know you made a touchdown.

1011
00:57:38,960 --> 00:57:41,840
Speaker 1: So the reality is he's throwing a bit deeper passes.

1012
00:57:42,040 --> 00:57:44,800
Speaker 1: And also like a lot of times, it's smarter to

1013
00:57:44,920 --> 00:57:47,320
Speaker 1: run out of bounds, right, it's smarter to you have

1014
00:57:47,360 --> 00:57:50,360
Speaker 1: to take into account the strategy of what you're trying

1015
00:57:50,360 --> 00:57:52,480
Speaker 1: to do there. It's not always just deep pass, the

1016
00:57:52,560 --> 00:57:55,160
Speaker 1: yard depth of the catch, touchdown every single play. Sometimes

1017
00:57:55,320 --> 00:57:58,120
Speaker 1: clock management comes into play and the score also. So

1018
00:57:58,760 --> 00:58:00,640
Speaker 1: I think it's a it's a funny it's kind of

1019
00:58:00,640 --> 00:58:03,960
Speaker 1: like a funny, weird statistical anomaly. I think the thing

1020
00:58:03,960 --> 00:58:06,720
Speaker 1: that matters more, way, way, way more is earning first

1021
00:58:06,720 --> 00:58:09,360
Speaker 1: downs and touchdowns, and that's an area where the passing

1022
00:58:09,400 --> 00:58:12,080
Speaker 1: game for the Bills is always strong. All Right, So

1023
00:58:12,120 --> 00:58:16,240
Speaker 1: you're our favorite numbers nerd and you came up with

1024
00:58:16,240 --> 00:58:17,800
Speaker 1: this thing. It's fun at this end of the season

1025
00:58:17,840 --> 00:58:19,440
Speaker 1: because we're just looking back and we see all these

1026
00:58:19,440 --> 00:58:22,160
Speaker 1: teams that have had good seasons, bad seasons, unexpected seasons.

1027
00:58:22,160 --> 00:58:25,480
Speaker 1: You did a nice piece for the NFL dot Com

1028
00:58:25,520 --> 00:58:29,400
Speaker 1: about teams that overperform the aspects of teams that overperformed.

1029
00:58:29,440 --> 00:58:33,080
Speaker 1: For instance, Seattle's passing offense with Gino was off. The

1030
00:58:33,480 --> 00:58:36,520
Speaker 1: off was out of nowhere, right, And then you've also

1031
00:58:36,600 --> 00:58:40,000
Speaker 1: got stuff like Denver's offense that really underperformed. And I

1032
00:58:40,040 --> 00:58:42,080
Speaker 1: don't know if you can remember what you did in

1033
00:58:42,120 --> 00:58:43,600
Speaker 1: that way you said in that piece, but can you

1034
00:58:43,640 --> 00:58:47,160
Speaker 1: give us maybe a couple of highs and lows, overs

1035
00:58:47,160 --> 00:58:50,440
Speaker 1: and unders of teams that you because it's never predicted.

1036
00:58:50,480 --> 00:58:52,480
Speaker 1: We're trying to predict all this stuff with analytics and

1037
00:58:52,560 --> 00:58:55,240
Speaker 1: it's harder and harder. But some of these things came

1038
00:58:55,280 --> 00:58:57,640
Speaker 1: out of nowhere. These teams were either really good and

1039
00:58:57,680 --> 00:58:59,880
Speaker 1: we didn't expect them to be or they really stunk

1040
00:59:00,240 --> 00:59:03,320
Speaker 1: and we expect him to be good. So you talked

1041
00:59:03,360 --> 00:59:05,720
Speaker 1: about Geno Smith, and I kind of love this one

1042
00:59:05,760 --> 00:59:08,240
Speaker 1: because in the beginning of the season he had the

1043
00:59:08,280 --> 00:59:11,520
Speaker 1: most deep touchdown passes of anyone in the entire league,

1044
00:59:11,560 --> 00:59:14,520
Speaker 1: which is funny for two reasons. One, it's Pete Carroll

1045
00:59:14,560 --> 00:59:17,560
Speaker 1: who's notorious for saying, let's let's club running play. How

1046
00:59:17,560 --> 00:59:19,120
Speaker 1: about you want to run the ball? Okay, let's run

1047
00:59:19,160 --> 00:59:23,080
Speaker 1: the ball again. The most rushing plays called by percentage

1048
00:59:23,080 --> 00:59:26,160
Speaker 1: any coach in like the last maybe like since people

1049
00:59:26,320 --> 00:59:29,600
Speaker 1: you know started passing the football, right, So that's funny too.

1050
00:59:29,600 --> 00:59:31,600
Speaker 1: It's just kind of something you didn't expect because remember

1051
00:59:31,640 --> 00:59:34,120
Speaker 1: they traded for Drew Locke, and everyone's like, it has

1052
00:59:34,160 --> 00:59:36,360
Speaker 1: to be Drew Locke, right, He's the starter. We didn't

1053
00:59:36,360 --> 00:59:39,280
Speaker 1: even think Gino was gonna start. So that's where that's

1054
00:59:39,520 --> 00:59:41,320
Speaker 1: a really fun one. And they don't even have a

1055
00:59:41,400 --> 00:59:43,720
Speaker 1: very good old line. They do have two good wide

1056
00:59:43,720 --> 00:59:46,880
Speaker 1: receivers and they're decent in the in the tight end game.

1057
00:59:46,920 --> 00:59:50,120
Speaker 1: But you know, that was super It was a fun one, especially,

1058
00:59:50,360 --> 00:59:53,560
Speaker 1: you know, given all the weird notes around you know,

1059
00:59:53,800 --> 00:59:56,840
Speaker 1: the league about why maybe Russell left or whatever. And

1060
00:59:56,880 --> 00:59:59,280
Speaker 1: then of course, because we saw them in preseason, it

1061
00:59:59,360 --> 01:00:02,800
Speaker 1: was strange to see the Broncos underperformed so much on offense.

1062
01:00:02,840 --> 01:00:06,880
Speaker 1: Their defense was good, they were losing games letting teams

1063
01:00:06,920 --> 01:00:10,480
Speaker 1: score less than double digits, and they lost games with

1064
01:00:10,640 --> 01:00:15,280
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, who since his hand injury, hasn't looked the same.

1065
01:00:15,520 --> 01:00:17,680
Speaker 1: You know, he's an improv He does a lot of

1066
01:00:17,720 --> 01:00:20,680
Speaker 1: improv right, so all those he couldn't really do that

1067
01:00:20,720 --> 01:00:22,600
Speaker 1: he didn't get on the same page with his receivers.

1068
01:00:22,640 --> 01:00:25,040
Speaker 1: He has good receivers. Will be interesting to see what

1069
01:00:25,080 --> 01:00:28,200
Speaker 1: Sean Payton does. Maybe a quicker passing, quicker strike offense

1070
01:00:28,240 --> 01:00:30,400
Speaker 1: like we saw with Drew Brees. I don't know. That's

1071
01:00:30,400 --> 01:00:33,040
Speaker 1: a huge contract. That seems like a difficult job. I'm

1072
01:00:33,080 --> 01:00:34,640
Speaker 1: glad a good coach got it because I like to

1073
01:00:34,640 --> 01:00:41,760
Speaker 1: see good football. But that was a very strange Bronchos offense. Strange, yeah,

1074
01:00:41,880 --> 01:00:45,800
Speaker 1: to say the least. Another question I had for you, Cynthia,

1075
01:00:46,320 --> 01:00:49,760
Speaker 1: was regarding all of the coordinator changes we've seen around

1076
01:00:49,760 --> 01:00:51,240
Speaker 1: the league. I realized we still got a game to

1077
01:00:51,280 --> 01:00:53,120
Speaker 1: play left in this season. But as you move into

1078
01:00:53,120 --> 01:00:56,880
Speaker 1: the off season and begin to assess and kind of predict,

1079
01:00:56,960 --> 01:00:59,560
Speaker 1: you know, whom I slot were in this league, you know,

1080
01:01:00,520 --> 01:01:03,720
Speaker 1: pecking order and whatnot. How much do you factor in

1081
01:01:04,440 --> 01:01:08,400
Speaker 1: new coordinators in new places and some of their previous history.

1082
01:01:08,440 --> 01:01:11,880
Speaker 1: I know the personnel that they inherit is obviously completely different.

1083
01:01:11,880 --> 01:01:15,200
Speaker 1: But Brian Flores to Minnesota, for example, do you look

1084
01:01:15,240 --> 01:01:18,880
Speaker 1: at his Dolphins history and maybe apply that in any way,

1085
01:01:18,880 --> 01:01:25,280
Speaker 1: shape or form to your models or edgaro Evero in Carolina. Yeah,

1086
01:01:25,320 --> 01:01:28,000
Speaker 1: I mean the personnel matters the most, obviously, and the

1087
01:01:28,080 --> 01:01:31,200
Speaker 1: kind of coaching tree and the background. I mean Minnesota specifically,

1088
01:01:31,240 --> 01:01:33,080
Speaker 1: I can speak a lot to Brian Flores. Actually went

1089
01:01:33,080 --> 01:01:35,360
Speaker 1: to college with Brian Flores randomly. I've known him for

1090
01:01:35,400 --> 01:01:38,400
Speaker 1: twenty years, and he obviously has a lot of experience

1091
01:01:38,680 --> 01:01:43,280
Speaker 1: with secondaries, which was the absolute problem with that Minnesota defense.

1092
01:01:43,520 --> 01:01:46,800
Speaker 1: Minnesota secondary, they're very young, they were very green, they

1093
01:01:46,880 --> 01:01:49,040
Speaker 1: weren't very good. They were giving up just so many

1094
01:01:49,080 --> 01:01:50,840
Speaker 1: passing yards, and so I think that will be a

1095
01:01:50,880 --> 01:01:54,760
Speaker 1: big source of improvement. Plus with Kevin O'Connell's offensive style,

1096
01:01:54,840 --> 01:01:56,880
Speaker 1: it is a more important one because some of these

1097
01:01:56,880 --> 01:02:00,000
Speaker 1: coordinator positions, if they're not going to be really responsible

1098
01:02:00,120 --> 01:02:03,520
Speaker 1: for calling plays or making decisions, then they matter less.

1099
01:02:03,560 --> 01:02:06,640
Speaker 1: But in the case of the Vikings, absolutely that one

1100
01:02:06,720 --> 01:02:10,360
Speaker 1: matters a ton. Also interesting to see, like I'm curious

1101
01:02:10,360 --> 01:02:12,320
Speaker 1: to see what happens with Kellen Moore out here for

1102
01:02:12,360 --> 01:02:15,440
Speaker 1: the Chargers because that's a good offense. Justin Herbert is

1103
01:02:15,480 --> 01:02:18,200
Speaker 1: a good quarterback and they have a lot of the pieces,

1104
01:02:18,240 --> 01:02:21,720
Speaker 1: but that team just keeps getting pummeled with injuries, and

1105
01:02:21,800 --> 01:02:24,680
Speaker 1: like the injury list is so long between them and

1106
01:02:24,680 --> 01:02:26,920
Speaker 1: the Titans that it's like I don't even know what

1107
01:02:26,960 --> 01:02:29,480
Speaker 1: I'm looking at sometimes. So at the end of the day,

1108
01:02:29,560 --> 01:02:31,800
Speaker 1: I'll be interested to see how some of those guys

1109
01:02:31,840 --> 01:02:34,720
Speaker 1: make some adjustments, because I mean, you put a Schottenheimer

1110
01:02:34,840 --> 01:02:37,320
Speaker 1: in for the Cowboys, you know what you're getting there.

1111
01:02:37,320 --> 01:02:39,400
Speaker 1: It's going to be very traditional, it's going to be

1112
01:02:39,520 --> 01:02:41,680
Speaker 1: very well, we'll see what the Cowboys can do. But

1113
01:02:41,960 --> 01:02:44,080
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, I think the coordinator

1114
01:02:44,120 --> 01:02:47,439
Speaker 1: positions this year are really fascinating because it does kind

1115
01:02:47,440 --> 01:02:49,840
Speaker 1: of also predict for the next wave of head coaches,

1116
01:02:50,080 --> 01:02:52,480
Speaker 1: so how they start to coordinate these games and what

1117
01:02:52,520 --> 01:02:55,680
Speaker 1: we start to see with offenses. Considering how different the

1118
01:02:55,720 --> 01:02:58,160
Speaker 1: college game is. I'm getting into draft season and you

1119
01:02:58,280 --> 01:03:00,280
Speaker 1: just watch and the college game just keeps getting more

1120
01:03:00,280 --> 01:03:03,360
Speaker 1: and more different and distinct from the NFL game, and

1121
01:03:03,560 --> 01:03:05,120
Speaker 1: it's going to be interesting to see how they all

1122
01:03:05,200 --> 01:03:07,840
Speaker 1: kind of map going forward to these coordinators. Yeah, the

1123
01:03:07,880 --> 01:03:10,680
Speaker 1: coordinators are kind of the big story this offseason because

1124
01:03:10,680 --> 01:03:14,040
Speaker 1: there are so many changing hands, Like you know, Kellen

1125
01:03:14,080 --> 01:03:16,320
Speaker 1: Moore going out and just going from one coordinator's job

1126
01:03:16,320 --> 01:03:19,360
Speaker 1: to another, Brian Flores re emerging as a defensive coordinator.

1127
01:03:19,600 --> 01:03:24,080
Speaker 1: You got Nate Hackett going from that coordinator's sideline head

1128
01:03:24,080 --> 01:03:26,760
Speaker 1: coach for half a year. Now he's a coordinator again

1129
01:03:26,800 --> 01:03:30,760
Speaker 1: for the New York Jets. How much? How do you

1130
01:03:31,840 --> 01:03:34,640
Speaker 1: just what Brownie asked? You got Minnesota who had a

1131
01:03:34,760 --> 01:03:37,360
Speaker 1: really nice offense, scored a lot of points and won

1132
01:03:37,400 --> 01:03:41,200
Speaker 1: a lot of single score games, but they were thirty

1133
01:03:41,240 --> 01:03:45,760
Speaker 1: first in defense? Did they have the thirty first roster

1134
01:03:45,960 --> 01:03:48,880
Speaker 1: in defense? I mean they certainly had some better players.

1135
01:03:48,880 --> 01:03:51,520
Speaker 1: How do you quantify that? If you might give us

1136
01:03:51,520 --> 01:03:55,920
Speaker 1: some insight into that? Yeah, so a lot like football's complimentary, right,

1137
01:03:55,960 --> 01:03:58,440
Speaker 1: So if you have an offense like you have with

1138
01:03:58,560 --> 01:04:00,760
Speaker 1: the Minnesota Vikings, remember they were in all of those

1139
01:04:00,800 --> 01:04:03,800
Speaker 1: one possession games. One possession games that you win not

1140
01:04:03,880 --> 01:04:06,000
Speaker 1: super predictive because there are gonna be one more possession

1141
01:04:06,040 --> 01:04:09,160
Speaker 1: and you could lose. Right. So the interesting part there

1142
01:04:09,240 --> 01:04:12,320
Speaker 1: is you need things that fit. Meaning if you're going

1143
01:04:12,360 --> 01:04:14,920
Speaker 1: to have that offense that's able to score all those points,

1144
01:04:15,240 --> 01:04:18,640
Speaker 1: you can't have a bad passing defense because teams if

1145
01:04:18,680 --> 01:04:21,200
Speaker 1: you go up on them. They have to pass on you,

1146
01:04:21,480 --> 01:04:23,760
Speaker 1: so that is going to make it more and more difficult,

1147
01:04:23,920 --> 01:04:26,280
Speaker 1: and those numbers are going to look really inflated in

1148
01:04:26,320 --> 01:04:29,360
Speaker 1: the pass game if your weakness is what you're forcing

1149
01:04:29,400 --> 01:04:33,080
Speaker 1: other teams to do. The vikings. They wed justin Jefferson,

1150
01:04:33,080 --> 01:04:35,920
Speaker 1: who obviously I hope he's the offensive player. I mean,

1151
01:04:35,920 --> 01:04:38,520
Speaker 1: he seems like he's a very strong candidate for Offensive

1152
01:04:38,520 --> 01:04:40,840
Speaker 1: Player of the Year. But at the end of the day,

1153
01:04:40,840 --> 01:04:43,120
Speaker 1: it's like, now you've got all these pass games, they

1154
01:04:43,200 --> 01:04:46,360
Speaker 1: didn't really have super consistent run games like Dalvin Cook

1155
01:04:46,400 --> 01:04:48,800
Speaker 1: showed up, didn't show up, showed up like wasn't because

1156
01:04:48,960 --> 01:04:51,280
Speaker 1: you cannot control the clock that way. So they have

1157
01:04:51,360 --> 01:04:54,080
Speaker 1: to fit together, which this is now where free agency

1158
01:04:54,160 --> 01:04:57,720
Speaker 1: becomes super important. So you get your coordinators into position

1159
01:04:58,000 --> 01:05:00,440
Speaker 1: and then you see how you're going to restock the shells.

1160
01:05:00,600 --> 01:05:03,240
Speaker 1: It's going to be fascinating for the Jets to see

1161
01:05:03,240 --> 01:05:06,480
Speaker 1: what they do right because Nathaniel Hackett obviously came from

1162
01:05:06,480 --> 01:05:09,760
Speaker 1: that Green Bay pedigree with a quarterback who is, you know,

1163
01:05:11,080 --> 01:05:14,840
Speaker 1: amongst the most serious, focused and knows what he wants

1164
01:05:14,880 --> 01:05:16,880
Speaker 1: in the league. Now you don't know what's going on

1165
01:05:16,920 --> 01:05:19,880
Speaker 1: at quarterback there right, you know that Russell Wilson. We're

1166
01:05:19,880 --> 01:05:21,840
Speaker 1: just gonna that's an asterisk. We'll move that over there,

1167
01:05:22,240 --> 01:05:24,640
Speaker 1: We'll go. We'll give him Aaron Rodgers credit that he deserves.

1168
01:05:24,840 --> 01:05:26,880
Speaker 1: And then now who are they going to get to

1169
01:05:26,880 --> 01:05:28,960
Speaker 1: do that job? Because if you bring in a young

1170
01:05:29,200 --> 01:05:32,400
Speaker 1: a younger person or even a free agent, they could

1171
01:05:32,440 --> 01:05:34,480
Speaker 1: not have that personality. So it's going to be very

1172
01:05:34,520 --> 01:05:37,600
Speaker 1: interesting to see. The teams that fit the best are

1173
01:05:37,600 --> 01:05:40,160
Speaker 1: the ones where the guys bring in from free agency

1174
01:05:40,240 --> 01:05:42,960
Speaker 1: and draft, the people who could execute the game plan

1175
01:05:43,040 --> 01:05:45,640
Speaker 1: and vision of the coaches, coordinators, whoever's in charge of

1176
01:05:45,680 --> 01:05:51,120
Speaker 1: actually calling the plays. We'll see how they all fit together. Awesome, Cynthia,

1177
01:05:51,160 --> 01:05:53,280
Speaker 1: thanks for all the insight. We appreciate it. We also

1178
01:05:53,360 --> 01:05:57,160
Speaker 1: understand you have a new roommate. Care to share real quick.

1179
01:05:58,400 --> 01:06:01,959
Speaker 1: He's the cutest ever. He's he's kind of messy and

1180
01:06:02,080 --> 01:06:05,120
Speaker 1: he's very neaty. He's my puppy and he's about eight

1181
01:06:05,120 --> 01:06:07,360
Speaker 1: months old and I rescued him. His name is Gordy

1182
01:06:07,400 --> 01:06:10,240
Speaker 1: after Gordy Howe, and I just I couldn't love him

1183
01:06:10,240 --> 01:06:12,480
Speaker 1: anymore and I'm very sad to leave him for the

1184
01:06:12,520 --> 01:06:15,720
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. I'm going tomorrow and I'm we're having a

1185
01:06:15,760 --> 01:06:17,920
Speaker 1: moment here him and I. Well, we'll pull it together,

1186
01:06:18,040 --> 01:06:19,840
Speaker 1: but you know, we're just having a little We're gonna

1187
01:06:19,840 --> 01:06:21,920
Speaker 1: go on an extra walk, maybe some extra treats will

1188
01:06:21,960 --> 01:06:26,160
Speaker 1: be Okay. That's awesome, that's congratulations. Thanks Cynthia. Again. We'll

1189
01:06:26,200 --> 01:06:29,000
Speaker 1: catch up with you soon here in the off season. Yes,

1190
01:06:29,040 --> 01:06:30,760
Speaker 1: can't wait to see you guys soon. All right. That's

1191
01:06:30,880 --> 01:06:35,520
Speaker 1: NFL Networks analytics expert Cynthia Freeland joining us there, and

1192
01:06:36,040 --> 01:06:37,800
Speaker 1: she kind of made me feel better about the yards

1193
01:06:37,840 --> 01:06:40,280
Speaker 1: after the catch situation with the Bills, because a lot

1194
01:06:40,320 --> 01:06:43,880
Speaker 1: of people knock the Bills for not having a high

1195
01:06:44,040 --> 01:06:47,480
Speaker 1: yards after catch figure. I think they were second to

1196
01:06:47,600 --> 01:06:50,880
Speaker 1: last in twenty one. This past season, they were fifth

1197
01:06:50,920 --> 01:06:55,560
Speaker 1: from the bottom, and I don't think it really impacts

1198
01:06:56,280 --> 01:07:01,120
Speaker 1: their scoring prowess, their ability to move the football, And

1199
01:07:01,480 --> 01:07:03,680
Speaker 1: Cynthia kind of confirmed that for me. What the Bills

1200
01:07:03,720 --> 01:07:06,280
Speaker 1: do well is they can throw the ball deep because

1201
01:07:06,280 --> 01:07:09,960
Speaker 1: of Josh. That can reduce opportunities in terms of yards

1202
01:07:10,080 --> 01:07:12,480
Speaker 1: after the catch. And I think she confirmed for us

1203
01:07:12,520 --> 01:07:16,880
Speaker 1: what matters is first downs and touchdowns when it comes

1204
01:07:16,880 --> 01:07:19,760
Speaker 1: to prolific offense and the Bills score very highly in

1205
01:07:19,800 --> 01:07:23,080
Speaker 1: those two areas, and so yards after the catch, yeah,

1206
01:07:23,160 --> 01:07:26,320
Speaker 1: it'd be nice to have, but it's not killing them.

1207
01:07:26,480 --> 01:07:29,320
Speaker 1: I mean, just look at their numbers, right, at least

1208
01:07:29,360 --> 01:07:32,520
Speaker 1: the numbers that count score, that's right, scoring and yards

1209
01:07:32,520 --> 01:07:34,880
Speaker 1: and first downs and third down conversion. They're really good

1210
01:07:34,880 --> 01:07:36,880
Speaker 1: at that. I mean, so they they're clicking on a

1211
01:07:36,880 --> 01:07:40,200
Speaker 1: lot of cylinders. And you know, despite how the season

1212
01:07:40,320 --> 01:07:44,000
Speaker 1: ended for them, there's a lot to build on with

1213
01:07:44,040 --> 01:07:48,840
Speaker 1: the guys. And you know, I know that in the

1214
01:07:48,880 --> 01:07:51,000
Speaker 1: recency bias that we all live under, I mean we

1215
01:07:51,040 --> 01:07:53,200
Speaker 1: all think, just think about the team and how it

1216
01:07:53,240 --> 01:07:57,240
Speaker 1: looked when they walked off the field this last month

1217
01:07:58,240 --> 01:08:01,440
Speaker 1: when they got beat and they didn't play well, and

1218
01:08:02,000 --> 01:08:04,960
Speaker 1: you tend to want to scrap a few things and

1219
01:08:05,040 --> 01:08:07,240
Speaker 1: try something else. I don't know that I would. You

1220
01:08:07,280 --> 01:08:11,320
Speaker 1: gotta take a deep breath and just get those guys

1221
01:08:11,360 --> 01:08:14,120
Speaker 1: to play better on that day. Now, certainly they had

1222
01:08:14,120 --> 01:08:16,519
Speaker 1: a lot of things working against them, so you know,

1223
01:08:16,520 --> 01:08:20,840
Speaker 1: the Bengals did too. I don't know that we'll ever

1224
01:08:20,920 --> 01:08:24,639
Speaker 1: be able to quantify the effect that DeMar Hamlin's injury

1225
01:08:24,680 --> 01:08:26,759
Speaker 1: had on them, because the Bills won the next two games,

1226
01:08:27,600 --> 01:08:33,280
Speaker 1: but they barely beat sloppy against they the New England Patriots, Yeah,

1227
01:08:33,520 --> 01:08:37,280
Speaker 1: and sloppy against very sloppy against Miami, Skyler Thompson almost

1228
01:08:37,320 --> 01:08:41,839
Speaker 1: beat him, and they needed to kickoff returns for touchdowns

1229
01:08:41,880 --> 01:08:45,760
Speaker 1: to beat the Patriots, and Patriots were putrid offensively. So

1230
01:08:45,840 --> 01:08:49,080
Speaker 1: I don't think they ever recovered from that this season.

1231
01:08:49,160 --> 01:08:55,200
Speaker 1: I think it was painfully obvious, although not evident, in

1232
01:08:55,240 --> 01:08:57,920
Speaker 1: the game against Cincinnati, because it seemed like it was

1233
01:08:57,920 --> 01:09:00,639
Speaker 1: getting further away from what DeMar had been through, and

1234
01:09:00,439 --> 01:09:03,839
Speaker 1: I just don't think the team was the same. I

1235
01:09:03,840 --> 01:09:07,280
Speaker 1: don't know though that it's not for me to speculate

1236
01:09:07,320 --> 01:09:10,520
Speaker 1: about that, except that's what I do on the radio, speculate.

1237
01:09:10,840 --> 01:09:15,800
Speaker 1: So I it's it's easy to sit here and say, man,

1238
01:09:15,880 --> 01:09:17,240
Speaker 1: we need you to change this. When you change that,

1239
01:09:17,280 --> 01:09:19,719
Speaker 1: let's go here, let's do that. I don't know. I'm

1240
01:09:19,760 --> 01:09:21,640
Speaker 1: not ready to do that. Josh is a player that

1241
01:09:21,640 --> 01:09:23,479
Speaker 1: you got to build around, and that means the offense

1242
01:09:23,520 --> 01:09:24,680
Speaker 1: is going to look a certain way. And as we

1243
01:09:24,760 --> 01:09:28,519
Speaker 1: heard Cynthia say, he throws the ball all over the yard.

1244
01:09:29,400 --> 01:09:32,240
Speaker 1: It's not about yards after catch. It's about first downs

1245
01:09:32,240 --> 01:09:35,559
Speaker 1: and touchdowns and third downs and converting third downs, and

1246
01:09:35,800 --> 01:09:39,639
Speaker 1: they're really good at that. They're they're still a almost

1247
01:09:40,040 --> 01:09:43,800
Speaker 1: really tough team to beat. So I'm kind of with her,

1248
01:09:44,160 --> 01:09:46,000
Speaker 1: and some of our callers have said the same thing.

1249
01:09:46,360 --> 01:09:47,840
Speaker 1: You know, they got some faith in the guys they

1250
01:09:47,840 --> 01:09:50,840
Speaker 1: got on the team, But you need to protect Josh upfront, right,

1251
01:09:51,160 --> 01:09:54,599
Speaker 1: which brings us back to an offense that at times

1252
01:09:54,680 --> 01:09:59,240
Speaker 1: probably became almost too Josh centric and depended on him

1253
01:09:59,240 --> 01:10:03,880
Speaker 1: making something miraculous happened, you know, to give them or

1254
01:10:03,920 --> 01:10:06,599
Speaker 1: put them in a situation to score points. So what's

1255
01:10:06,640 --> 01:10:10,519
Speaker 1: the most effective way to make maybe take the load

1256
01:10:10,560 --> 01:10:13,280
Speaker 1: off of Josh even just a little bit. Going into

1257
01:10:13,280 --> 01:10:15,840
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three, we get back to the phones and

1258
01:10:15,960 --> 01:10:19,439
Speaker 1: waiting patiently has been Dave in West Seneca waiting out

1259
01:10:19,479 --> 01:10:22,720
Speaker 1: for his Dave. You're on one Bill's Live. Hey guys, Hey,

1260
01:10:22,760 --> 01:10:26,639
Speaker 1: I'm a forty years season ticket holder and I've seen

1261
01:10:26,680 --> 01:10:28,320
Speaker 1: a lot of good in bed with this team. So

1262
01:10:28,520 --> 01:10:31,599
Speaker 1: I'm very proud of this team. So don't get me wrong. Hey,

1263
01:10:31,640 --> 01:10:34,800
Speaker 1: I'm thinking when we played Cincinnati in that playoff game

1264
01:10:35,160 --> 01:10:37,240
Speaker 1: and we went down fourteen nothing, I looked at my

1265
01:10:37,240 --> 01:10:38,720
Speaker 1: wife and my nephew that I was sitting next to

1266
01:10:38,760 --> 01:10:40,640
Speaker 1: me and I said, they're gonna put this game on

1267
01:10:40,720 --> 01:10:43,439
Speaker 1: Josh's shoulders, I said, and I looked at him, I said,

1268
01:10:43,479 --> 01:10:45,920
Speaker 1: I feel sorry for the kid. I said, they just

1269
01:10:46,000 --> 01:10:49,120
Speaker 1: put too much on his back. And I think he

1270
01:10:49,479 --> 01:10:51,479
Speaker 1: knows that he's carrying the weight of this team on

1271
01:10:51,600 --> 01:10:53,960
Speaker 1: his back, and I feel sorry for him. But I

1272
01:10:54,000 --> 01:10:56,479
Speaker 1: think what they need to help is the inside of

1273
01:10:56,479 --> 01:11:01,400
Speaker 1: the offensive line. You need two brand new guards. If

1274
01:11:01,439 --> 01:11:03,640
Speaker 1: you look at the three previous games that you were

1275
01:11:03,680 --> 01:11:07,679
Speaker 1: just talking about, the New England, Miami and Cincinnati game,

1276
01:11:08,760 --> 01:11:10,760
Speaker 1: Josh had no time back there to sit back there

1277
01:11:10,760 --> 01:11:13,439
Speaker 1: and look at the second, third, fourth receivers. I mean

1278
01:11:13,479 --> 01:11:16,840
Speaker 1: he was, he had no time whatsoever. Whatever they're doing defensively,

1279
01:11:17,160 --> 01:11:19,240
Speaker 1: they knew they can beat up in our offensive line,

1280
01:11:19,240 --> 01:11:21,720
Speaker 1: and they just they came after us with everything they

1281
01:11:21,760 --> 01:11:23,680
Speaker 1: had and we had no answer for it. So I

1282
01:11:23,680 --> 01:11:26,840
Speaker 1: think we need two offensive two offensive guards, and I

1283
01:11:26,840 --> 01:11:28,800
Speaker 1: think they need to and I think you can get

1284
01:11:28,840 --> 01:11:31,519
Speaker 1: that in the free agency without too much pain, too much.

1285
01:11:31,800 --> 01:11:33,920
Speaker 1: But I think you also need to draft a center,

1286
01:11:34,400 --> 01:11:38,960
Speaker 1: because one more concussion, maybe two with Mitch Morris, and

1287
01:11:39,400 --> 01:11:41,880
Speaker 1: you're gonna be looking for another center. So I think

1288
01:11:41,920 --> 01:11:44,800
Speaker 1: they need to let's develop another center and let's get

1289
01:11:44,800 --> 01:11:47,559
Speaker 1: two new guards to help Josh and maybe one receiver,

1290
01:11:47,640 --> 01:11:49,080
Speaker 1: and I think you can get that in the draft

1291
01:11:49,120 --> 01:11:52,880
Speaker 1: also to keep her salary camp download. So thanks, guys

1292
01:11:52,960 --> 01:11:54,559
Speaker 1: like the show, and I'll listen to what you have

1293
01:11:54,600 --> 01:11:57,000
Speaker 1: to say. Yeah, I'll say this too, And you're right, Dave.

1294
01:11:58,960 --> 01:12:01,200
Speaker 1: When they get into a time spot, they do depend

1295
01:12:01,240 --> 01:12:04,880
Speaker 1: on Josh. Uh That's what teams do with guys like Josh,

1296
01:12:04,920 --> 01:12:10,200
Speaker 1: on him, like Mahomes, like Burrow, like Justin Herbert Um

1297
01:12:10,240 --> 01:12:17,679
Speaker 1: and even Jacksonville with Trevor, Lawrence Bradian and uh Um,

1298
01:12:18,560 --> 01:12:21,240
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. That's what teams do. They when you got

1299
01:12:21,280 --> 01:12:23,280
Speaker 1: that guy, that's what he's there for. And part you

1300
01:12:23,320 --> 01:12:25,040
Speaker 1: don't gig and you don't. Yeah, you don't need to

1301
01:12:25,120 --> 01:12:29,440
Speaker 1: feel sorry for him. They guys like Josh and Mahomes

1302
01:12:29,479 --> 01:12:32,519
Speaker 1: and Aaron, they love it. They want it. They they

1303
01:12:32,600 --> 01:12:36,439
Speaker 1: want the ball in their hands when the game is

1304
01:12:37,040 --> 01:12:40,400
Speaker 1: on the line, late, when there's something's got to happen.

1305
01:12:40,479 --> 01:12:42,559
Speaker 1: They don't want anybody else have the ball. So don't

1306
01:12:42,600 --> 01:12:45,920
Speaker 1: feel sorry for those guys. That's it's a gift. It's

1307
01:12:45,960 --> 01:12:50,240
Speaker 1: a gift, and they treat it as such. That's why

1308
01:12:50,280 --> 01:12:53,799
Speaker 1: they're good. They love moments like that. Whether they succeed

1309
01:12:53,880 --> 01:12:56,320
Speaker 1: or fail, they still want us take the swing. They

1310
01:12:56,320 --> 01:12:58,400
Speaker 1: still want to wait, They want to take that snap

1311
01:12:58,439 --> 01:13:01,040
Speaker 1: and see what happens. So don't feel sorry for him.

1312
01:13:01,280 --> 01:13:04,160
Speaker 1: And Josh is not the only guy in the league

1313
01:13:04,200 --> 01:13:06,880
Speaker 1: who the team asks a ton of. Like I just said,

1314
01:13:07,400 --> 01:13:10,400
Speaker 1: Mahomes had one of the Kansas City offense in the

1315
01:13:10,479 --> 01:13:16,880
Speaker 1: championship game. He was the guy. So you can say

1316
01:13:16,920 --> 01:13:18,720
Speaker 1: what you want about how much the Bills asked them

1317
01:13:18,880 --> 01:13:23,120
Speaker 1: ask him to do. If you can give him some help, awesome. Yeah,

1318
01:13:23,160 --> 01:13:26,120
Speaker 1: but that's the way it works in the NFL, right,

1319
01:13:26,680 --> 01:13:30,000
Speaker 1: And maybe it's and we probably said this earlier already,

1320
01:13:30,040 --> 01:13:33,120
Speaker 1: but it's just about making life a little bit easier

1321
01:13:33,120 --> 01:13:35,720
Speaker 1: for him. Whether it's as some of our callers have

1322
01:13:35,800 --> 01:13:38,840
Speaker 1: pointed out, a half second longer to throw, you know,

1323
01:13:38,840 --> 01:13:41,600
Speaker 1: and deliver the football, one more open guy, yeah, a

1324
01:13:41,720 --> 01:13:45,760
Speaker 1: guy that can get early separation more consistently, you know,

1325
01:13:45,840 --> 01:13:49,320
Speaker 1: for easy button throws. As we've talked about, whatever it

1326
01:13:49,520 --> 01:13:53,639
Speaker 1: is you got to invest on that side to help

1327
01:13:53,680 --> 01:13:56,920
Speaker 1: the best player on your team make it easier for him.

1328
01:13:57,160 --> 01:14:03,759
Speaker 1: So we can excel even more frequently than he already does. Yeah,

1329
01:14:03,920 --> 01:14:05,879
Speaker 1: it's he's still going to be the center of everything.

1330
01:14:06,640 --> 01:14:10,559
Speaker 1: And if the offensive line's better, if all that stuff, yeah,

1331
01:14:10,720 --> 01:14:12,559
Speaker 1: no question about it. But he's still gonna have to

1332
01:14:12,560 --> 01:14:14,120
Speaker 1: be the guy that sees the open man and makes

1333
01:14:14,160 --> 01:14:16,160
Speaker 1: that throw. He's gonna be the one making the decisions

1334
01:14:16,200 --> 01:14:19,120
Speaker 1: back here. And that's what quarterbacks do. They make decisions

1335
01:14:19,120 --> 01:14:23,840
Speaker 1: and they execute it. So another year with him and

1336
01:14:24,400 --> 01:14:27,280
Speaker 1: Ken Dorseys, they're gonna be smoother and better. They're gonna

1337
01:14:27,360 --> 01:14:29,519
Speaker 1: learn about each other and learn more about what they're

1338
01:14:29,560 --> 01:14:31,080
Speaker 1: doing and some of the things they can do better,

1339
01:14:31,320 --> 01:14:34,240
Speaker 1: and they'll slice it up way more than we'll ever

1340
01:14:34,280 --> 01:14:38,160
Speaker 1: be able to hear on this radio program. But I'm

1341
01:14:38,200 --> 01:14:42,240
Speaker 1: kind I'm with you. Um. Offensive line looks to be

1342
01:14:42,320 --> 01:14:45,400
Speaker 1: something that you can say this about the receivers and

1343
01:14:45,439 --> 01:14:49,320
Speaker 1: stuff about they drop too many passes or whatever. That's

1344
01:14:49,439 --> 01:14:52,320
Speaker 1: and that's obvious that that's something we all know how

1345
01:14:52,320 --> 01:14:55,080
Speaker 1: to fix. He's get those guys out of there, catch

1346
01:14:55,120 --> 01:14:57,200
Speaker 1: balls whole day and you get to where you don't

1347
01:14:57,280 --> 01:15:01,479
Speaker 1: drop any you drop, or you drop fewer. Offensive line.

1348
01:15:01,520 --> 01:15:04,040
Speaker 1: It's harder for you know, every day schmucks like me

1349
01:15:04,160 --> 01:15:06,800
Speaker 1: and Brownie to think, well, how do they get better?

1350
01:15:06,840 --> 01:15:09,400
Speaker 1: They get bigger, they stronger. Okay, those guys lift and

1351
01:15:09,560 --> 01:15:12,599
Speaker 1: they train all the time. How do they play better?

1352
01:15:12,600 --> 01:15:15,280
Speaker 1: And there's no question offensive linemen play better in one

1353
01:15:15,320 --> 01:15:17,439
Speaker 1: system than another, and there's ways for them to improve

1354
01:15:17,479 --> 01:15:20,040
Speaker 1: their play. But for most of us jam Oaks like me,

1355
01:15:21,000 --> 01:15:24,639
Speaker 1: you think, well, guys just get better players. And there

1356
01:15:24,720 --> 01:15:26,760
Speaker 1: is some of that going on with the Bills today

1357
01:15:26,760 --> 01:15:29,440
Speaker 1: and all the calls we've been having and the conversation

1358
01:15:29,479 --> 01:15:31,880
Speaker 1: that's been going on since the end of the season,

1359
01:15:32,280 --> 01:15:33,720
Speaker 1: where you just feel like you need to be more

1360
01:15:33,760 --> 01:15:39,320
Speaker 1: dominant up there. That is a different conversation than having

1361
01:15:39,360 --> 01:15:41,679
Speaker 1: receivers who can just catch more balls and get better.

1362
01:15:42,600 --> 01:15:46,599
Speaker 1: How much improvement guys like Spencer Brown can make Ryan

1363
01:15:46,640 --> 01:15:48,880
Speaker 1: Bates Mitch Moore is how many you know? How much

1364
01:15:48,880 --> 01:15:51,599
Speaker 1: better can Dion Dawkins and Roger Saffold get And how

1365
01:15:51,640 --> 01:15:54,599
Speaker 1: confident you are that's going to happen. You can reject it.

1366
01:15:55,000 --> 01:15:57,719
Speaker 1: What's your degree of confidence, though, is just as important

1367
01:15:57,720 --> 01:16:00,200
Speaker 1: because that's going to determine whether or not you just

1368
01:16:00,240 --> 01:16:03,559
Speaker 1: say an insurance plan right. Younger players tend to get

1369
01:16:03,560 --> 01:16:06,200
Speaker 1: a higher ceiling credited to them, whether it's there or

1370
01:16:06,200 --> 01:16:09,840
Speaker 1: not guys like Roger Saffold, who's in week twenty like

1371
01:16:09,840 --> 01:16:13,720
Speaker 1: this last week he was in week twenty of year thirteen.

1372
01:16:14,240 --> 01:16:16,400
Speaker 1: You kind of know what you're gonna get with Roger Saffield,

1373
01:16:16,680 --> 01:16:20,800
Speaker 1: and that may be enough. But if you've got a

1374
01:16:20,800 --> 01:16:23,000
Speaker 1: guy that may be give you more than that, he

1375
01:16:23,120 --> 01:16:25,280
Speaker 1: might roll the dice on the guy, you know, a

1376
01:16:25,400 --> 01:16:28,240
Speaker 1: draft pick or a free agent or whoever. But at

1377
01:16:28,320 --> 01:16:30,680
Speaker 1: least with Roger Saffold, you know where the floor is

1378
01:16:30,720 --> 01:16:32,760
Speaker 1: and you can help him and do things, and you

1379
01:16:32,760 --> 01:16:34,519
Speaker 1: can you know what you can ask of him, and

1380
01:16:34,560 --> 01:16:37,760
Speaker 1: it gives you some confidence in those things. A young

1381
01:16:37,800 --> 01:16:41,000
Speaker 1: guy gives you less confidence in everything, but maybe a

1382
01:16:41,120 --> 01:16:44,880
Speaker 1: chance to get better in all those things. That's that's

1383
01:16:44,880 --> 01:16:48,400
Speaker 1: where we're at. Yeah, we gotta take a break here,

1384
01:16:48,400 --> 01:16:50,120
Speaker 1: but when we come back, we're gonna crack open the

1385
01:16:50,120 --> 01:16:52,840
Speaker 1: tweet sheet get some more of your thoughts on how

1386
01:16:52,960 --> 01:16:57,559
Speaker 1: you think the Bills in twenty twenty three might be

1387
01:16:57,600 --> 01:16:59,920
Speaker 1: able to lighten Josh Allen's load and make things easy

1388
01:17:00,080 --> 01:17:03,000
Speaker 1: or form just a little bit. We're back here in

1389
01:17:03,040 --> 01:17:05,400
Speaker 1: a moment on one Bill's Live, presented by Collot of Health,

1390
01:17:05,400 --> 01:17:09,200
Speaker 1: It's Buffalo Bill's Radio All right. Welcome back to one

1391
01:17:09,240 --> 01:17:11,559
Speaker 1: Bills Live. Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you, asking you

1392
01:17:11,600 --> 01:17:14,080
Speaker 1: what's the most effective way to take the load off

1393
01:17:14,160 --> 01:17:16,479
Speaker 1: Josh Allen next season, make things a little easier for

1394
01:17:16,600 --> 01:17:20,559
Speaker 1: him and for answers. We can only go to one place.

1395
01:17:21,120 --> 01:17:23,960
Speaker 1: The tweet sheet brought to you by Corrigan Moving Systems,

1396
01:17:23,960 --> 01:17:27,320
Speaker 1: the official equipment moving specialists of the Buffalo Bill. Every

1397
01:17:27,400 --> 01:17:30,080
Speaker 1: question you've ever wanted to know, if you ask it,

1398
01:17:30,080 --> 01:17:33,479
Speaker 1: it's like a magic hate boats. That's right, I mean

1399
01:17:33,600 --> 01:17:36,200
Speaker 1: it is. It will always come up with an answer. Yes,

1400
01:17:36,640 --> 01:17:41,200
Speaker 1: prospects look cloudy. Yeah. Anthony leads us off and says,

1401
01:17:41,560 --> 01:17:45,240
Speaker 1: bring in competition for right tackle. But I'm hoping Spencer

1402
01:17:45,280 --> 01:17:49,040
Speaker 1: Brown makes a jump having a full off season, find

1403
01:17:49,080 --> 01:17:51,840
Speaker 1: a new right guard and move Bates back to left guard,

1404
01:17:52,240 --> 01:17:54,719
Speaker 1: and hopefully Shakier can be more of a true number

1405
01:17:54,720 --> 01:17:58,760
Speaker 1: two or get one. So it sounds like Anthony is

1406
01:17:59,320 --> 01:18:04,040
Speaker 1: hopeful that certain players can take in another step that

1407
01:18:04,080 --> 01:18:06,960
Speaker 1: are already on the roster. But it sounds like he

1408
01:18:07,000 --> 01:18:10,840
Speaker 1: wants insurance plans in place. It's like every yeah, and

1409
01:18:10,920 --> 01:18:15,519
Speaker 1: it's a it's an adage. If you can get a

1410
01:18:15,520 --> 01:18:18,160
Speaker 1: player that's better than the one you got, particularly if

1411
01:18:18,160 --> 01:18:22,080
Speaker 1: it's cheaper, get it. And if it's not cheaper, how

1412
01:18:22,160 --> 01:18:24,200
Speaker 1: much more expensive is it going to be? But you

1413
01:18:24,200 --> 01:18:26,559
Speaker 1: need to bring in guys at every position to make

1414
01:18:26,560 --> 01:18:29,080
Speaker 1: these guys better or to get better. A better guy

1415
01:18:29,160 --> 01:18:32,000
Speaker 1: that and that's it. Foster better competition and maybe that

1416
01:18:32,040 --> 01:18:34,559
Speaker 1: guy does take an extra step. Coaches are all about that,

1417
01:18:34,600 --> 01:18:36,400
Speaker 1: and I think for the most part, players are too.

1418
01:18:37,760 --> 01:18:41,800
Speaker 1: Um they're not afraid of it. Most players at this level,

1419
01:18:41,840 --> 01:18:44,760
Speaker 1: you can't be Yeah, you've met every level of competition

1420
01:18:44,800 --> 01:18:46,679
Speaker 1: that's been thrown at you. That's right, and that's what's

1421
01:18:48,200 --> 01:18:51,719
Speaker 1: Kenny on the tweet sheet says, I haven't seen an

1422
01:18:51,720 --> 01:18:56,479
Speaker 1: executed screen pass in six years the offense. I'm guessing

1423
01:18:56,479 --> 01:18:59,640
Speaker 1: he's talking about a traditional screen. The offense needs to

1424
01:18:59,680 --> 01:19:01,920
Speaker 1: deliver some layups. To Josh, it can't be a three

1425
01:19:01,960 --> 01:19:06,200
Speaker 1: step drop and shotgun every single play. I would agree

1426
01:19:06,200 --> 01:19:10,200
Speaker 1: with that. It'd be nice to see a traditional screen

1427
01:19:10,240 --> 01:19:12,280
Speaker 1: show up every now and again. For some reason, it

1428
01:19:12,960 --> 01:19:16,640
Speaker 1: proved to be a monumental task for this offense. For

1429
01:19:16,960 --> 01:19:21,679
Speaker 1: whatever reason. Now they ran different kinds of screens, mostly

1430
01:19:21,760 --> 01:19:24,920
Speaker 1: out in space. You know of the bubble screen variety

1431
01:19:25,000 --> 01:19:28,120
Speaker 1: or receiver or even a back lined up wide, and

1432
01:19:28,200 --> 01:19:31,960
Speaker 1: they would execute them that way. Occasionally you'd see like

1433
01:19:31,960 --> 01:19:34,080
Speaker 1: one of those slip screens or something, or a tight

1434
01:19:34,160 --> 01:19:36,720
Speaker 1: end screen even once in a while, but usually the

1435
01:19:36,800 --> 01:19:39,200
Speaker 1: quick screen to the wide side or whatever. Yeah, but

1436
01:19:39,320 --> 01:19:42,519
Speaker 1: it was even that was a mixed bag in terms

1437
01:19:42,560 --> 01:19:47,880
Speaker 1: of effectiveness. So for whatever reason it was, it was

1438
01:19:47,920 --> 01:19:52,000
Speaker 1: a chore for them to execute screens, and as such,

1439
01:19:52,040 --> 01:19:55,679
Speaker 1: they didn't call a lot of them. Yeah, I've always said,

1440
01:19:56,400 --> 01:19:59,479
Speaker 1: you know, you'd give you do what people give you

1441
01:19:59,520 --> 01:20:02,639
Speaker 1: to do. I mean, you take what the defense gives you.

1442
01:20:02,920 --> 01:20:06,240
Speaker 1: When you got a quarterback like Josh, the defense doesn't

1443
01:20:06,320 --> 01:20:08,280
Speaker 1: rush you the same as they do if you're Joe

1444
01:20:08,320 --> 01:20:11,400
Speaker 1: Burrow or if you're or if you're whatever. They don't

1445
01:20:11,439 --> 01:20:17,200
Speaker 1: rush Pat Mahomes that way. You know. The Chiefs run

1446
01:20:17,240 --> 01:20:21,720
Speaker 1: a ton of those shovel passes. That's particularly down on

1447
01:20:21,760 --> 01:20:25,160
Speaker 1: the red zone. They run that a lot. Those don't

1448
01:20:25,160 --> 01:20:27,760
Speaker 1: seem to work as well for Buffalo because when Josh

1449
01:20:27,840 --> 01:20:30,559
Speaker 1: drops back to pass, he drops back to pass, he

1450
01:20:30,600 --> 01:20:34,360
Speaker 1: doesn't really run off. They don't roll him out. A

1451
01:20:34,360 --> 01:20:36,400
Speaker 1: lot of teams don't want that to happen anyway, so

1452
01:20:36,439 --> 01:20:40,680
Speaker 1: they do that. Plus teams have stopped rushing past Josh.

1453
01:20:40,760 --> 01:20:43,040
Speaker 1: So you know, those defensive ends when Josh drops back,

1454
01:20:43,200 --> 01:20:45,920
Speaker 1: even if he's under center, drops back five steps, seven steps,

1455
01:20:46,600 --> 01:20:49,559
Speaker 1: the ends come off the edges around both left tackle

1456
01:20:49,600 --> 01:20:54,720
Speaker 1: and right tackle, they have stopped, except in certain situations

1457
01:20:54,720 --> 01:20:59,160
Speaker 1: that most of the time they stop where Josh stops.

1458
01:20:59,160 --> 01:21:01,040
Speaker 1: They stop at the top. But Josh's drop they don't

1459
01:21:01,040 --> 01:21:03,080
Speaker 1: go past him, so they don't open up a lane

1460
01:21:03,120 --> 01:21:05,800
Speaker 1: between the defensive tackle and the defensive end where the

1461
01:21:06,040 --> 01:21:08,040
Speaker 1: ends all the way past Josh and the tackles up

1462
01:21:08,040 --> 01:21:10,240
Speaker 1: here at the line of scrimmage. So Josh just moves

1463
01:21:10,240 --> 01:21:12,559
Speaker 1: out to that way there's a big screen. They stopped

1464
01:21:12,600 --> 01:21:17,200
Speaker 1: doing that. That takes away any chance to run a

1465
01:21:17,200 --> 01:21:19,800
Speaker 1: screen pass. So too do all the times that he

1466
01:21:19,840 --> 01:21:22,120
Speaker 1: sees a spy out there, there's an extra defender're just

1467
01:21:22,160 --> 01:21:25,400
Speaker 1: sitting there. And if you're running a screen pass when

1468
01:21:25,439 --> 01:21:27,599
Speaker 1: they have a spy for Josh on a certain down

1469
01:21:27,600 --> 01:21:30,719
Speaker 1: and distance, guess what they got an extra defender sitting

1470
01:21:30,760 --> 01:21:32,960
Speaker 1: there waiting and to go attack the football. And I'll

1471
01:21:33,000 --> 01:21:35,720
Speaker 1: say this too, you would think in this regard that

1472
01:21:35,720 --> 01:21:38,719
Speaker 1: you'd see be able to run more screens because teams

1473
01:21:39,280 --> 01:21:44,280
Speaker 1: are hesitant to run man coverage against the Bills, because

1474
01:21:44,720 --> 01:21:46,960
Speaker 1: you got the receivers running up and the defensive backs

1475
01:21:46,960 --> 01:21:49,320
Speaker 1: are running with their backs to Josh looking at the

1476
01:21:49,360 --> 01:21:53,080
Speaker 1: receiver and Josh's pull it down and chase him right

1477
01:21:53,120 --> 01:21:54,920
Speaker 1: he just runs it for snaps off a twenty six

1478
01:21:55,040 --> 01:21:58,439
Speaker 1: yard run. They don't want that to happen, particularly since

1479
01:21:58,520 --> 01:22:01,639
Speaker 1: Josh can get away from most spy eyes. But that

1480
01:22:01,720 --> 01:22:06,439
Speaker 1: means that teams play more zone, and it's usually that's

1481
01:22:06,479 --> 01:22:10,040
Speaker 1: when you run screen passes because if you got us,

1482
01:22:10,160 --> 01:22:12,439
Speaker 1: if you got a man coverage, somebody's on the back

1483
01:22:12,560 --> 01:22:14,160
Speaker 1: that you're gonna throw the screen too. He just gets

1484
01:22:14,200 --> 01:22:15,639
Speaker 1: up and he's all in the middle of the screen

1485
01:22:15,680 --> 01:22:18,880
Speaker 1: pass and it's hard for the offensive lineman to back up,

1486
01:22:19,000 --> 01:22:22,559
Speaker 1: let their guy go and then get that guy before

1487
01:22:22,640 --> 01:22:26,080
Speaker 1: he's right and where he's you're trying to throw the pass.

1488
01:22:26,160 --> 01:22:29,599
Speaker 1: So you would think in that respect, seeing more zone

1489
01:22:29,760 --> 01:22:31,880
Speaker 1: would give you a chance to run more screens. It

1490
01:22:31,920 --> 01:22:34,160
Speaker 1: has not worked out that way. Like I said, the

1491
01:22:34,600 --> 01:22:37,599
Speaker 1: pass rush has changed and evolved around Josh, where these

1492
01:22:37,600 --> 01:22:42,200
Speaker 1: guys don't run past him and teams are just more

1493
01:22:42,960 --> 01:22:45,200
Speaker 1: for whatever he's Maybe we thought maybe it was because

1494
01:22:45,200 --> 01:22:48,519
Speaker 1: they didn't have athletic or mobile offensive lineman. Mitch Morse

1495
01:22:48,600 --> 01:22:50,599
Speaker 1: is out running out around the end. He's mobile enough

1496
01:22:50,600 --> 01:22:53,240
Speaker 1: to get out there, and so is Don But I

1497
01:22:53,280 --> 01:22:55,320
Speaker 1: think it has more to do with the fact that

1498
01:22:55,439 --> 01:22:58,880
Speaker 1: Josh Allen's your quarterback and these defenses are looking at

1499
01:22:59,000 --> 01:23:02,240
Speaker 1: him and they play him differently, And one of the

1500
01:23:02,280 --> 01:23:06,559
Speaker 1: by products of that is if you're gonna run a screen, Josh,

1501
01:23:06,560 --> 01:23:09,080
Speaker 1: you gotta throw it quick right now instead of dropping

1502
01:23:09,160 --> 01:23:11,519
Speaker 1: back and then dropping back a little more and then

1503
01:23:11,600 --> 01:23:14,960
Speaker 1: dumping it. I just don't think that's conducive to wade

1504
01:23:15,000 --> 01:23:16,960
Speaker 1: teams play against Josh Allen. I don't think it has

1505
01:23:17,000 --> 01:23:18,320
Speaker 1: to do with the offensive line. I think it has

1506
01:23:18,320 --> 01:23:21,320
Speaker 1: to do with Josh. Ryan on the tweet sheet says,

1507
01:23:21,439 --> 01:23:23,439
Speaker 1: Mauler's in the run game, so we can run the

1508
01:23:23,479 --> 01:23:27,439
Speaker 1: football without Josh Allen. A wide receiver too that can

1509
01:23:27,479 --> 01:23:30,479
Speaker 1: get separation, a running back that can tote the ball

1510
01:23:30,520 --> 01:23:33,760
Speaker 1: twenty two times for one hundred and twenty yards, utilizing

1511
01:23:33,840 --> 01:23:36,640
Speaker 1: James Cook in the pass game more. I like some

1512
01:23:36,680 --> 01:23:39,040
Speaker 1: of those things, Ryan, but I don't know if you're

1513
01:23:39,040 --> 01:23:41,600
Speaker 1: ever going to see a running back unless it is

1514
01:23:41,640 --> 01:23:45,639
Speaker 1: a blinding snowstorm with driving wind run twenty two times

1515
01:23:45,640 --> 01:23:48,280
Speaker 1: in a game. I think the Bills, even when they

1516
01:23:48,320 --> 01:23:51,200
Speaker 1: do run the football, do it in a committee fashion.

1517
01:23:51,840 --> 01:23:54,360
Speaker 1: And whether Devin Singletary is here or not next year,

1518
01:23:54,439 --> 01:23:58,439
Speaker 1: knowing he's a free agent, it would be cooking hind

1519
01:23:58,520 --> 01:24:00,400
Speaker 1: split in the load, I would be. I would be

1520
01:24:00,400 --> 01:24:02,320
Speaker 1: okay with most of that, except I don't want to.

1521
01:24:02,360 --> 01:24:04,679
Speaker 1: I want a running back that carries it fifteen times

1522
01:24:04,680 --> 01:24:10,400
Speaker 1: for eighty yards eighty five yards. That's what I would

1523
01:24:10,479 --> 01:24:13,760
Speaker 1: rather have. I don't want anybody having it twenty two

1524
01:24:13,760 --> 01:24:19,120
Speaker 1: times running it unless you're a head by, unless you're

1525
01:24:19,120 --> 01:24:21,559
Speaker 1: a head by twenty five or twenty eight points and

1526
01:24:21,600 --> 01:24:23,840
Speaker 1: it's the second half of the game, then okay, fine,

1527
01:24:23,880 --> 01:24:28,240
Speaker 1: give give them the ball thirty times. But yeah, it's

1528
01:24:28,280 --> 01:24:30,200
Speaker 1: just not the most efficient way to move the football.

1529
01:24:31,120 --> 01:24:34,000
Speaker 1: And I get it. It's it makes fans feel warm

1530
01:24:34,040 --> 01:24:36,320
Speaker 1: and safe. When you got a running game, you just

1531
01:24:36,400 --> 01:24:39,600
Speaker 1: hand it off all day and just you know, it's

1532
01:24:39,640 --> 01:24:43,320
Speaker 1: six yards here, six yards there, first down six yards here,

1533
01:24:45,120 --> 01:24:48,240
Speaker 1: three yards here, and four yards there. It's another first down.

1534
01:24:48,320 --> 01:24:50,280
Speaker 1: Let's just keep handing it off. It looks so easy

1535
01:24:50,320 --> 01:24:51,960
Speaker 1: and it makes takes all the stress out. And I

1536
01:24:52,000 --> 01:24:54,280
Speaker 1: get it. That's never gonna happen. Ever, it's good to

1537
01:24:54,320 --> 01:24:56,880
Speaker 1: have when you have the lead. Though, if you are up,

1538
01:24:56,960 --> 01:24:59,960
Speaker 1: it's a good way to shorten the game, so to speak.

1539
01:25:00,120 --> 01:25:02,360
Speaker 1: It's not the most efficient way to score points, but

1540
01:25:02,400 --> 01:25:06,000
Speaker 1: it is an efficient way to kill a game, shorten

1541
01:25:06,040 --> 01:25:09,000
Speaker 1: it and keep the clock moving, which is Mark's point

1542
01:25:09,040 --> 01:25:11,280
Speaker 1: here on the Tweetchee who says running game to keep

1543
01:25:11,360 --> 01:25:15,360
Speaker 1: defenses honest. That will help with game and clock management

1544
01:25:15,760 --> 01:25:20,320
Speaker 1: make Josh running harder to deal with by virtue of having,

1545
01:25:21,400 --> 01:25:24,880
Speaker 1: you know, a productive running attack that doesn't just involve Josh,

1546
01:25:24,920 --> 01:25:29,960
Speaker 1: it involves actual running backs. Totally get it. And if

1547
01:25:29,960 --> 01:25:31,920
Speaker 1: you can have a running game that you can turn

1548
01:25:32,000 --> 01:25:35,719
Speaker 1: to whether your pass games out of sink or whether

1549
01:25:35,760 --> 01:25:38,480
Speaker 1: you want to kill a game because you're up by seventeen,

1550
01:25:40,439 --> 01:25:45,080
Speaker 1: having that would be nice. Yeah, yes it would. But

1551
01:25:45,640 --> 01:25:48,879
Speaker 1: that doesn't mean just because you're up twenty five points

1552
01:25:48,920 --> 01:25:51,760
Speaker 1: doesn't mean you can't keep doing what you've been doing

1553
01:25:51,920 --> 01:25:54,320
Speaker 1: to get there in the first place. To doing Yeah,

1554
01:25:54,360 --> 01:25:57,760
Speaker 1: it's more risky though, as we learned this year. Yeah,

1555
01:25:58,120 --> 01:26:00,479
Speaker 1: so it's not. No, it's not. It's more risky than

1556
01:26:00,520 --> 01:26:03,639
Speaker 1: handing it off every time, but it's also more probable

1557
01:26:03,680 --> 01:26:07,920
Speaker 1: that you're gonna make that first down. So if you

1558
01:26:07,960 --> 01:26:10,559
Speaker 1: want to do that, that's fine. I just just soon

1559
01:26:10,720 --> 01:26:14,160
Speaker 1: keep playing offense. And that's what nobody is willing to do.

1560
01:26:14,200 --> 01:26:19,240
Speaker 1: And I don't know why. Yeah, play, I don't, you know,

1561
01:26:20,920 --> 01:26:23,840
Speaker 1: don't stop doing what gave you twenty five point lead.

1562
01:26:24,439 --> 01:26:26,880
Speaker 1: Don't hide from it, don't yeah, don't run off and

1563
01:26:27,000 --> 01:26:33,000
Speaker 1: hide play. And I know it's easy to say that hypothetically,

1564
01:26:33,760 --> 01:26:38,120
Speaker 1: but good grief. I mean, the only we got to

1565
01:26:38,160 --> 01:26:40,000
Speaker 1: one point. I was watching these games. We got to

1566
01:26:40,040 --> 01:26:41,920
Speaker 1: one point this last year in the Pittsburgh game where

1567
01:26:41,960 --> 01:26:45,320
Speaker 1: you know, case kingdoms on the field, you know, just

1568
01:26:45,720 --> 01:26:50,960
Speaker 1: for kicks and giggles. So yeah, I don't just play.

1569
01:26:51,040 --> 01:26:54,400
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't need a running game in case

1570
01:26:54,479 --> 01:26:57,200
Speaker 1: we get up. If we get up, what do we

1571
01:26:57,200 --> 01:27:06,439
Speaker 1: need to running game? Four? Come on? So I get it,

1572
01:27:06,760 --> 01:27:09,519
Speaker 1: you know, it's pretty frustrating. It what's really frustrating You

1573
01:27:09,560 --> 01:27:13,800
Speaker 1: go out there and throw three in completions and go

1574
01:27:13,840 --> 01:27:19,040
Speaker 1: three and out. Yeah, I get that, but man, oh man, yeah,

1575
01:27:19,439 --> 01:27:21,600
Speaker 1: it's a it's a I mean, I guess it's a

1576
01:27:21,640 --> 01:27:24,280
Speaker 1: good dilemma to have. But we have to take a

1577
01:27:24,280 --> 01:27:26,479
Speaker 1: break here when we come back. Some final thoughts on

1578
01:27:26,520 --> 01:27:28,479
Speaker 1: the tweet sheet here on One Bill's Life presented by

1579
01:27:28,520 --> 01:27:43,519
Speaker 1: Collid to Health, this is Buffalo Bill's Radio. All right.

1580
01:27:43,640 --> 01:27:45,960
Speaker 1: Some final thoughts on the tweet sheet here, Paul says

1581
01:27:46,000 --> 01:27:49,240
Speaker 1: adding weapons around him while Josh while supplying a good

1582
01:27:49,240 --> 01:27:51,439
Speaker 1: offensive line. So I mean it's not always running around

1583
01:27:51,439 --> 01:27:54,360
Speaker 1: in the pocket and force something down the field. Philip

1584
01:27:54,439 --> 01:27:59,000
Speaker 1: says easy scheme throws, screens and play action quick throws

1585
01:27:59,000 --> 01:28:01,599
Speaker 1: that get yards after the Cats should include more targets

1586
01:28:01,640 --> 01:28:04,760
Speaker 1: for slot knocks and running backs. Improved a line that

1587
01:28:04,760 --> 01:28:07,160
Speaker 1: allows for running game to truly attack the week's side.

1588
01:28:07,200 --> 01:28:11,519
Speaker 1: Make teams defend sideline to sideline. Danielle says line, yes,

1589
01:28:11,720 --> 01:28:15,160
Speaker 1: we have weapons though digs Davis Cook knocks Conca should

1590
01:28:15,160 --> 01:28:17,839
Speaker 1: be getting the job done. Maybe better play calling question

1591
01:28:17,920 --> 01:28:21,439
Speaker 1: mark Buffalo guy, oh line upgrades, getting the run game

1592
01:28:21,479 --> 01:28:23,439
Speaker 1: more involved. If we have a running back that Josh

1593
01:28:23,439 --> 01:28:25,880
Speaker 1: trust to get the tough yards, it might help with

1594
01:28:25,880 --> 01:28:31,280
Speaker 1: the workload that he shoulders. And Ronald says a stud

1595
01:28:31,680 --> 01:28:38,479
Speaker 1: running back boo, all right, easy peasy, Oh, I'm telling

1596
01:28:38,680 --> 01:28:40,320
Speaker 1: good players make you better than the Bills have got

1597
01:28:40,320 --> 01:28:42,280
Speaker 1: their work cutout for him, getting them getting all these

1598
01:28:42,280 --> 01:28:44,759
Speaker 1: guys into training camp. That's going to be the job

1599
01:28:44,840 --> 01:28:49,559
Speaker 1: going forward, and we'll just you know, sit and watch him.

1600
01:28:49,720 --> 01:28:54,360
Speaker 1: That's all the stuff is good. They're gonna have eighty

1601
01:28:54,400 --> 01:28:57,240
Speaker 1: five guys going into training camp. It's gonna be fun

1602
01:28:57,240 --> 01:29:00,000
Speaker 1: to see him compete and see if they can get better. Yeah,

1603
01:29:00,080 --> 01:29:01,960
Speaker 1: and you know people talk about, oh, we need this

1604
01:29:02,000 --> 01:29:03,920
Speaker 1: in the draft, we need that in the draft. Don't forget.

1605
01:29:04,000 --> 01:29:08,080
Speaker 1: Free agency comes first. And as we know, Brandon Bean

1606
01:29:08,439 --> 01:29:11,720
Speaker 1: likes to cross off as many positional holes as he

1607
01:29:11,760 --> 01:29:15,680
Speaker 1: can before he even gets to the draft. So you

1608
01:29:15,680 --> 01:29:17,400
Speaker 1: know he can draft truly the way he wants to.

1609
01:29:17,479 --> 01:29:21,320
Speaker 1: Which is better, best player available. But good stuff. That's

1610
01:29:21,360 --> 01:29:24,519
Speaker 1: it for us today. We'll see you back here, same

1611
01:29:24,560 --> 01:29:31,960
Speaker 1: bad time, same bad channel. We'll see it one
