1
00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:10,879
Speaker 1: Add a Steve Tasker who has been all over the field.

2
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:13,000
Speaker 1: Kind of unique. He was kind of a dual role player.

3
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:19,079
Speaker 1: Stream Stave abolutely Steve a blimp. We're not even in

4
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:26,920
Speaker 1: the strategyre of normalcy. It is a Wednesday edition of

5
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:30,760
Speaker 1: One Bill's Live. Chris Brown Steve Tasker broadcasting live from

6
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:34,159
Speaker 1: the Seneca Studios here in Orchard Park. A little bit

7
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:36,479
Speaker 1: of a soggy morning, but the rain is tapered off.

8
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:39,360
Speaker 1: I believe the players are out on the practice field

9
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:42,639
Speaker 1: on the grass, so we'll get an update from out

10
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:45,040
Speaker 1: there as to who is up, who is down, who

11
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 1: is participating. Josh Allen is your AFC Offensive Player of

12
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 1: the Week. It's the second time he's done that this season.

13
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 1: I believe Jim Kelly and Thurman Thomas are the only

14
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 1: other players in Bill's history to win that award multiple

15
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 1: times in the same season. So congrats to Josh after

16
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:05,639
Speaker 1: his four hundred yard passing performance and four touchdown effort

17
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:08,959
Speaker 1: in the win over the Seahawks and Steve. We already

18
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:12,040
Speaker 1: have some updates on practice as provided by head coach

19
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 1: Sean McDermot, who address the media about a half hour ago.

20
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 1: Tredavious White and Cody Ford not practicing today. Both left

21
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 1: the game last week with ankle injuries and did not

22
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:26,759
Speaker 1: return and then back at practice. On the more positive

23
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 1: side of the ledger will be Josh Norman, who is

24
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 1: participating will probably we probably will not find out until

25
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:36,040
Speaker 1: the Wednesday injury report comes out as to whether he

26
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 1: is limited or a full participant as he tries for

27
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:42,320
Speaker 1: a second time to return from what has been a

28
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 1: nagging hamstring injury for him all the way back to

29
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 1: the beginning of the season. And then Mitch Morse is

30
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 1: out of concussion protocol. He is practicing today again. Level

31
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 1: of participation will find out later this afternoon, but steve

32
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 1: that offensive line lowly but surely getting back to what

33
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 1: would be the starting five. Cody Ford still a question

34
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 1: mark obviously, and we're assuming he would be part of

35
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 1: that quintet up front. Maybe not. I thought Brian Winners

36
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 1: played a pretty good game last week. He obliterated somebody

37
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 1: when he got him broadside, sent him flying, put a

38
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 1: defensive tackle airborne. Last week. I thought he played one

39
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:27,919
Speaker 1: of his better games in a Bill's uniform. But this

40
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 1: is good news. If Morris can come back at center,

41
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 1: now you can put John Feliciano at left guard and

42
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 1: let's go right and if winners, we got to check

43
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:38,919
Speaker 1: on his availability too. He was down for the catch

44
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 1: for a minute as well, So we'll see if he's

45
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 1: going to get a day of rest one of these

46
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:46,080
Speaker 1: days during a week. Cody Ford being out, Yeah, who

47
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 1: knows how Cody Ford's gonna bounce back, because he was

48
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:53,079
Speaker 1: barely ready to get back in the game against against

49
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 1: the Seahawks and then didn't last the entire game, came

50
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 1: out with a different injury or what looked like a

51
00:02:57,960 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 1: different injury than the one he'd been dealing with, and

52
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 1: and he didn't come back in So their offensive line

53
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 1: still doesn't have the five guys they thought they were

54
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:07,679
Speaker 1: going to have in the regular season, at least not

55
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:10,119
Speaker 1: at Wednesday's practice. Coming in the Air Time game. Still

56
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 1: from the beginning of the season. Now it hasn't mattered.

57
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:16,239
Speaker 1: I mean they have. They're seven and two headed into

58
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 1: this game, and Mitch Moore's getting back on the field

59
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:23,080
Speaker 1: I think really helps him because he's a good player.

60
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,239
Speaker 1: Good players make you better, and so we'll see and

61
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 1: winners will fit into that group. So I'm you got

62
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 1: to feel really good about where they're at on their

63
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 1: offensive line for the first time in a while, and

64
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 1: you know, if they can get through this. I can

65
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 1: smell this in the air, Brownie, I mean Cody Ford,

66
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 1: I think is one of those it's going to be

67
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 1: one of those weeks where, you know what, he'd be

68
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 1: really good with three weeks rest and the bye week

69
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 1: coming up after this one. It's like, yeah, you know what,

70
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 1: We'll just well, he was coming back from a knee

71
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 1: injury and then suffers the ankle injury on Sunday, So yeah,

72
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 1: I could see him going that route, especially if you

73
00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 1: feel good about Morris returning to the lineup in winters

74
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 1: looks okay because you still have Ikebucker, Ryan Bates, and

75
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 1: you know Tie and Secky as your swing tackle. So

76
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 1: you wouldn't be destitute if you just sat four down

77
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 1: for the week and give him a couple of weeks

78
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 1: to get himself healthy and ready to roll for the

79
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:18,840
Speaker 1: stretch run when they come back from the buy in

80
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:26,160
Speaker 1: Week eleven. Some other news and notes, the league or

81
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 1: the owners looks like they approved the contingency plan for

82
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 1: the playoffs. Now it goes to the players Association to

83
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 1: approve it, and again it is a contingency plan. I

84
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:43,480
Speaker 1: just don't know. The most interesting thing I think that

85
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:47,920
Speaker 1: that came from it, Steve, was there description of if

86
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:51,800
Speaker 1: meaningful games are ultimately canceled and cannot be made up.

87
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:55,480
Speaker 1: This is the contingency plan they would resort to. So

88
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 1: what qualifies as meaningful I guess would remain to be seen.

89
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 1: Does it involve one team in playoff contention? Does it

90
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:06,480
Speaker 1: involve two teams in playoff contention? I don't know, and

91
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 1: they didn't specify. I'm sure they'll be providing a description

92
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 1: later on if in fact they have to choose this

93
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:16,719
Speaker 1: course of action, and I would think that the Players

94
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 1: Association will approve this. I don't think there will be

95
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 1: any issues because really it doesn't change things all that much.

96
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 1: The only thing you could potentially be looking at is

97
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 1: a week eighteen and two more teams in the playoffs,

98
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 1: which I think would mean more playoff pay for more players.

99
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:35,840
Speaker 1: So I can't see them being against it. Sixteen teams

100
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,360
Speaker 1: instead of fourteen and a chance for other teams. If

101
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:41,360
Speaker 1: there truly is a meaningless game, for instance, if it

102
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:44,160
Speaker 1: was a Giants game against the Jets. You know what

103
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:47,040
Speaker 1: I'm saying, Yeah, if it was the two bad teams

104
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:49,279
Speaker 1: playing against each other that were out of the playoffs.

105
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 1: That would be a week off for those two teams.

106
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 1: You know, they wouldn't need to go out there and

107
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 1: risk their injuries or risk you know, hurting themselves, just

108
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,839
Speaker 1: you know, just say thanks for showing up. Those are

109
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 1: the kind of games that you don't need. But here's

110
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 1: the thing, there's gradients in there. What if the Bills

111
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 1: are in a game against the Dolphins, and the Dolphins

112
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 1: it's an in and out game for them, but you

113
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:16,839
Speaker 1: can't play and you can't play it because they've got

114
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 1: to make up a game that happened later in the sea,

115
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 1: you know, against somebody else on a week eighteen, or

116
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:24,480
Speaker 1: if it happens twice to the same team, or what

117
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:27,799
Speaker 1: if it's one of these things where it's both teams

118
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:31,159
Speaker 1: are gonna make the playoffs and it's just a question

119
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 1: of are they gonna be the four and five seed

120
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:37,480
Speaker 1: or the five and four seed? What about that? I mean,

121
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 1: that would determine who plays at home and again a year,

122
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 1: even though they would still play each other, if they

123
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 1: flip flopped home and away, would be the only thing

124
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 1: to determine. I want to play away. Well, let's not

125
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:54,800
Speaker 1: forget Miami has fans, So in your scenario Buffalo Miami,

126
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 1: it would make a difference. Sixty thousand fans in Miami

127
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:00,840
Speaker 1: or however the hell many they're allowed now it's it's

128
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 1: almost full capacity. Didn't really mean to segue the Wild West.

129
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 1: The road teams are sixty seven and sixty five and

130
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 1: one in twenty twenty. They're they're better on the road. Well, yeah,

131
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 1: I get that, but I don't know if that holds

132
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 1: water in a playoff atmosphere where if you play on

133
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 1: the road and they have fans, whereas if you play

134
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 1: at home, home with no fans is better than road

135
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 1: with fans. I think depends on them, depends on the

136
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 1: depends on the venue. Yeah, I wouldn't be And plus

137
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 1: it depends on the weather. Two, you want to play

138
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 1: up here in January with Josh and the wide receivers

139
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 1: we have in a snowstorm? Or do you want to

140
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 1: go to Miami and let them arit out? You know,

141
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 1: you may you may be able to play your game

142
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 1: better in Miami than here in Buffalo. Maybe you know,

143
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 1: And I maybe that's just one scenario. It could be.

144
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 1: It could be that it could be Tennessee, it could

145
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 1: be Yeah, it could be Tennessee, Indianapolis doing that. It

146
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 1: could be Baltimore Pittsburgh doing that. The division winner against

147
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 1: the number five seed. You know, who's gonna be the

148
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 1: division winner? Who's gonna be the five seed? That's big, uh,

149
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 1: But they're both in and you know it comes it's

150
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 1: gonna be weird. It's gonna be weird because there could

151
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 1: be like Brandy, there could be like six games that

152
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 1: are meaningless. Yeah, you know, on final weekend. I don't know,

153
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 1: but yeah, it's a wait and see essentially. But they

154
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 1: have a contingency plan in place. I think they are

155
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 1: impacted and they're trying to react to what they see

156
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 1: going on across the country, which is spikes in COVID cases,

157
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 1: you know, east to west, north to south. I mean

158
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 1: every corner of the country is seeing it, including even

159
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:44,360
Speaker 1: here in Ereon County where we do the show. And

160
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 1: I think the NFL felt compelled like we can't just

161
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:51,079
Speaker 1: hope for the best here. We have to have contingency

162
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 1: plans in place in case the unfortunate happens. Because the

163
00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 1: later you get in the season, the fewer weeks you

164
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:01,440
Speaker 1: have to play with no more bye weeks after week eleven,

165
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:05,839
Speaker 1: so that's out the window. So you know, they have

166
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 1: to have a contingency plan so that they can pivot

167
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:12,959
Speaker 1: if they need to pivot. Also in the news, NFL wise,

168
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 1: we were on the area yesterday congratulating Bills fans and

169
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 1: Bill's Mafia for hitting the two hundred thousand dollar mark

170
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:25,079
Speaker 1: in terms of donations to O'shi Children's Hospital in Josh

171
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:29,720
Speaker 1: Allen's grandmother's name. It's now over three hundred thousand dollars

172
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 1: Steve three hundred thousand dollars as we speak. And I

173
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 1: noticed something online and I don't know to what level

174
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:44,200
Speaker 1: this has occurred, but the notoriety that this effort has

175
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 1: gained over the last couple of days. Cincinnati Bengals fans

176
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:54,559
Speaker 1: are now donating to the cause. They are saying, and

177
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 1: I've seen some of the tweets. They are saying, Hey,

178
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:01,200
Speaker 1: you guys supported Andy Dalton's found DA when he helped

179
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 1: you get in the playoffs. We're just returning the favor.

180
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:08,559
Speaker 1: All good here in Cincinnati. So it's almost as if

181
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 1: Buffalo's gesture here as a fan base is compelling other

182
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:22,520
Speaker 1: fan bases to act accordingly. UM that's powerful stuff. Um,

183
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 1: maybe we're not also divided as we thought we were.

184
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 1: This is social media at its best, right, this is

185
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 1: social media at its best. After the last eight months

186
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 1: of dealing with political stuff where it gets as bad

187
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 1: as it gets on social media no matter what, no

188
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 1: matter what political affiliation you have, I think we can

189
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 1: all agree that it's bad. Like on social media, it

190
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:56,079
Speaker 1: is bad, really really really bad, and it gets too personal, um,

191
00:10:56,400 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 1: too threatening, among other things. So to see this and

192
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 1: to see social media work in this fashion, I think

193
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:08,839
Speaker 1: is more than welcome. Holy cow, they need something. And

194
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 1: that's again kudos to the Bills mafia. I mean, I've

195
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 1: been retweeting their fundraising numbers as soon as they hit

196
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 1: a new threshold two hundred two fifty two seventy five three.

197
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:23,719
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just it's fascinating, fascinating it is, and

198
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 1: it's actually steering a pandemic. And I'll tell you to

199
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:28,160
Speaker 1: think about it. That that gesture that happened, so you

200
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 1: know a handful of years ago, three or four years ago,

201
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 1: three years ago with the Bills getting into playoffs with

202
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 1: Dan Andy Dalton and Tyler Boyd, the pass and catch,

203
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 1: and now it still has a ripple effects all the

204
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 1: way into twenty twenty. It's awesome. It's awesome, and it's

205
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:45,719
Speaker 1: and it's it's a functional a little bit. It's a

206
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 1: function of how good nice people are, how good people are,

207
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,199
Speaker 1: and how much they want to help, I think fundamentally,

208
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:54,959
Speaker 1: but it also is a nod towards how big this

209
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:59,600
Speaker 1: game we cover is. Two and a half months ago,

210
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:02,439
Speaker 1: three months ago, we didn't know if it was even

211
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:05,319
Speaker 1: gonna happen. Yeah, we didn't know what it's gonna look like,

212
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 1: if it was gonna get derailed, if they were gonna

213
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 1: get you know, if they're gonna be catastrophic results, if

214
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 1: they're gonna get laughed at, and there was gonna be

215
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:14,400
Speaker 1: super spreader events and all this stuff. And the league

216
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 1: has plowed through and gotten better at it as they've

217
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:21,080
Speaker 1: plowed through this UM. I think out of the six

218
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:25,439
Speaker 1: hundred tests, six hundred thousand tests they it's distributed, over

219
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 1: the course of last week November first through the seventh,

220
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 1: there was less than what twenty five positive tests. Yeah,

221
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 1: that number doubled until forty five this week. Right across

222
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 1: the league. That's players and staff. They they they distribute

223
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:46,560
Speaker 1: and test, they give out they perform over a half

224
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:50,200
Speaker 1: a million tests every week in the NFL for staff

225
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:52,840
Speaker 1: and players. They gets tested every day, and then there's

226
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 1: a you know, a handful of and every club they

227
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:56,559
Speaker 1: get tested once a week, and you know that kind

228
00:12:56,559 --> 00:13:00,679
Speaker 1: of thing, and it's reflected this bike that we've seen

229
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:03,719
Speaker 1: around the country. But still to be able to keep

230
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 1: a lid on it and keep the league going forward.

231
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger, now the Pittsburgh starting quarterback, has come down

232
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 1: with COVID. He's on the list. Well, he didn't come

233
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:12,720
Speaker 1: down with COVID. He was close proximity, right thought exactly.

234
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:14,679
Speaker 1: So he's on the list. But the preca but the

235
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:17,640
Speaker 1: willingness to do that to a guy like Ben Roethlisberger

236
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:21,760
Speaker 1: put him on the list. They're committed towards staying on

237
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:23,679
Speaker 1: top of it, and I think that's it's I think

238
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 1: it's a great example. If nothing else. Some news from

239
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 1: Cardinals camp and practice this week. Kenyan Drake was listed

240
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:37,439
Speaker 1: as a day to day injury with an ankle, but

241
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:42,080
Speaker 1: reports out of Arizona is that he will be practicing today.

242
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 1: So it looks like Kenyan Drake, they're starting running back,

243
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:47,719
Speaker 1: is on the comeback trail or at least on the

244
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:50,679
Speaker 1: right path towards playing this week. We'll have to just

245
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:54,240
Speaker 1: see how it goes. His injury was described as day

246
00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:58,760
Speaker 1: to day. He did not play last week against the Dolphins,

247
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 1: so we'll have to see where that goes. And that's

248
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:07,319
Speaker 1: really probably the biggest news out of there. I know

249
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:09,560
Speaker 1: you watched a little bit of Arizona tape I did

250
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:14,439
Speaker 1: this morning as well. And what grabs you when you

251
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:17,079
Speaker 1: first took a look at them, anything could stick out

252
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 1: that you maybe jotted down or Murray stands out because

253
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 1: he looks physically dere he's so small, and also because

254
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 1: it's like it's like a video game and he's a

255
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:33,360
Speaker 1: different character than the rest of him. Yeah, and he

256
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 1: has different properties, he has different abilities. Sean McDermott said

257
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 1: it today. He's been watching tape and to see the

258
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 1: quickness and the agility. Exactly what did he say? Said?

259
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 1: It was the quickness and something. It was just you know,

260
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 1: it was just he said, listen, you can tell you

261
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 1: look at the guy and that his tempo is different. Yeah,

262
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 1: he's faster than everybody else basically, and he can tiptoe

263
00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 1: in and out of tight spots. I mean, he gets blitzed.

264
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 1: So he's in the red zone last week against the Dolphins,

265
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:09,800
Speaker 1: and the Dolphins sends six. It's essentially a zero blitz,

266
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 1: and he somehow escapes out the left side because the

267
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 1: rush lane is not disciplined enough. So he escapes out

268
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 1: the left side, and they still have to get to

269
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 1: the two yard line for a first down. So it's

270
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:27,360
Speaker 1: third and nine from like the what would that be

271
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:31,760
Speaker 1: the twelve yard line, and he escapes out the left

272
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:34,920
Speaker 1: side so not to his throwing arms side, and he's

273
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 1: looking for somebody in the end zone to throw too.

274
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:40,880
Speaker 1: People are in pursuit, and the guy goes to shove

275
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:44,000
Speaker 1: him over the sideline and out of bounds. He just

276
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:48,120
Speaker 1: dips his shoulder ducks underneath the guy takes about three

277
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:51,680
Speaker 1: tight rope steps and then another guy's closing on him,

278
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 1: and he somehow avoids him, takes two more steps to

279
00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 1: get past the first down marker, and then goes out

280
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 1: of bounds. And I'm just like, holy crap, Like that's

281
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:03,800
Speaker 1: a problem. He's a vapor. That's a problem. And I

282
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 1: asked coach McDermott this morning on the press conference that

283
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:08,680
Speaker 1: he had with the media. I said, hey, coach, you know,

284
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:10,920
Speaker 1: how creative do you have to be with your scout

285
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 1: team this week in terms of who do who imitates

286
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:17,320
Speaker 1: him at quarterback? You can't have Matt Barkley doing it,

287
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 1: or Davis Webb or Jake from all all due respect

288
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:23,200
Speaker 1: to them, but they're not Kyler Murray. They're not gonna

289
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:25,720
Speaker 1: move like him. So who do you put a quarterback

290
00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 1: on the scout team to get your defense ready? Is

291
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:31,680
Speaker 1: Isaiah McKenzie, It could be could be Isaiah McKenzie. Maybe

292
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:33,880
Speaker 1: it's Christian Wade. I mean, you got to use a

293
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 1: running back or a wide receiver for scout team this

294
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 1: week if you want to give your defense the right

295
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:41,880
Speaker 1: looks to be ready for this guy, yeah, he said,

296
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:44,520
Speaker 1: and the words I was looking at he just said,

297
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 1: he's the most mobile quarterback we have faced. And that

298
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 1: include go down the list of the guys they've they've

299
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 1: looked at this year so last week. Right, so it's

300
00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 1: it's a challenge. And he throws it well, and he's

301
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:02,040
Speaker 1: patient and poison the pocket or MSG viewers are looking

302
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:05,720
Speaker 1: at it right now. He just he is so fast. Now.

303
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:07,520
Speaker 1: I saw him and I said this yesterday. I saw

304
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:10,280
Speaker 1: him at the combine. He is short but he's not small.

305
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:14,920
Speaker 1: He's thick enough at his size. He's big from the

306
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:17,280
Speaker 1: waist down and he's got a big upper body too,

307
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 1: so he's packed out and he can scoot. I mean,

308
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 1: the guy can really scoot, and it's it's gonna be

309
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 1: a challenge, and I think you really do have to

310
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:33,639
Speaker 1: have a total defensive plan for keeping him himmed in

311
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 1: or doing what you want to do against him on

312
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:38,240
Speaker 1: any given play, because if you sit, even if you

313
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:41,600
Speaker 1: got a free rusher, all you're basically doing is getting

314
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:43,880
Speaker 1: him out of the pocket quick. Yeah, you're not gonna

315
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:45,639
Speaker 1: get him on the ground. And I don't know if

316
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:49,119
Speaker 1: you want him out there right. I would tend to

317
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 1: think you'd want to keep a short guy like that

318
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 1: in the pocket. He only had I want to say,

319
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 1: nine incompletions last week against the Dolphins. Four of them

320
00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:00,880
Speaker 1: were batted passes at the line of scrimmage. Those were four.

321
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:04,359
Speaker 1: Those were half of his incompletions last week. So my

322
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:09,720
Speaker 1: inclination would be discipline, rush lanes, get your hands up right. Yeah,

323
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:12,359
Speaker 1: I think so too. And if you're gonna do that,

324
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 1: if you're gonna send five guys, I mean you're you

325
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:18,479
Speaker 1: just have soundly. Guys, we don't want you to get

326
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 1: any sacks this week. We want for over a hundred

327
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:22,480
Speaker 1: yards last week. We want him to throw the football

328
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:24,240
Speaker 1: and we want him to throw it from the pocket.

329
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:26,880
Speaker 1: So just collapse the pocket. We're gonna have a spy

330
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:31,320
Speaker 1: on him or something. You guys, keep him in the

331
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:34,359
Speaker 1: pocket and don't let him scoot out of there, and

332
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:36,479
Speaker 1: you're not gonna get any sacks on this guy. It's

333
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 1: just the way it's gonna be. We want him to

334
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:40,199
Speaker 1: throw the football from the pocket, and we want him

335
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:42,359
Speaker 1: to do it on our time, not his. Now. I

336
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:45,000
Speaker 1: will say the Dolphins did get to him one time.

337
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:47,159
Speaker 1: They strip the ball out here. If there's one thing

338
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:50,119
Speaker 1: he does have, it's small hands. So if you get

339
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:53,399
Speaker 1: close enough to this guy, go for the strip the

340
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:55,840
Speaker 1: rake out. He's got small hands. If he's got one

341
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:58,359
Speaker 1: hand on the ball, you're gonna knock it out because

342
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:01,600
Speaker 1: he's got trouble with ball security. Lost the ball shack

343
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:05,360
Speaker 1: Lawson scooped up the ball and went all the way

344
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:07,600
Speaker 1: to the house for a fumble return for a touchdown.

345
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:11,680
Speaker 1: Last week, after he got sacked by Emmanuel Ogba, tried

346
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 1: to escape, couldn't get away from Agba and he stripped him,

347
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 1: So that is one thing. If you do get that opportunity,

348
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:20,280
Speaker 1: well then by all means, you know, try to get

349
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:22,080
Speaker 1: the ball out. Don't even worry about getting him on

350
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:25,240
Speaker 1: the ground because he'll drop it. His hands are tiny,

351
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:28,040
Speaker 1: I mean, not big at all, which makes it even

352
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 1: more amazing how live his arm is and how accurate

353
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:33,320
Speaker 1: thrower he is. It's really impressed. This is gonna be

354
00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:35,200
Speaker 1: a great game. And it gets to the topic we

355
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:38,399
Speaker 1: wanted to talk about today on the Twitter poll about

356
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:40,960
Speaker 1: what this game might look like and what you wanted

357
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:43,879
Speaker 1: to look like. Yeah, what's the most likely formula for

358
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:47,879
Speaker 1: Bill's victories going forward? That is the subject of our

359
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 1: Twitter poll today And the choices are the offense stays

360
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:55,639
Speaker 1: hot through the air, be the defense takes another step forward,

361
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:59,360
Speaker 1: or see they just play more complimentary football, or maybe

362
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:01,960
Speaker 1: it's something else. So let us know at eight oh

363
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:05,160
Speaker 1: three oh five fifty one eighty eight five fifty two,

364
00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:08,920
Speaker 1: five fifty in terms of what's the most likely formula

365
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:11,440
Speaker 1: for the Bills going forward? How do you I guess

366
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:14,119
Speaker 1: how do you feel they are trending in terms of

367
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:16,920
Speaker 1: the way they are looking to win games? Yeah, what's

368
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:19,160
Speaker 1: what's the what's the future gonna look like? Here? Yeah?

369
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:22,040
Speaker 1: And it's also about what do you think is best

370
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:24,440
Speaker 1: for this team going forward? I mean we all think, okay,

371
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 1: let's win the game. However happens, who cares? Yeah, but

372
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 1: if you if you take the win, what sets you

373
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,040
Speaker 1: up for future success? After the bye week when you

374
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:34,200
Speaker 1: come back and you're coming back and you're playing the

375
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 1: Chargers or the Steelers, the Broncos and the Niners. You

376
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:40,920
Speaker 1: know what, what's gonna you know, what's gonna serve this

377
00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:44,119
Speaker 1: team the best going forward? What display is gonna do it?

378
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:46,760
Speaker 1: Is it gonna be just continue to hang forty four

379
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:49,000
Speaker 1: points on people? Yeah, it's pretty good. Or is it

380
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:52,159
Speaker 1: all of a sudden in a league where there's record scoring,

381
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:55,199
Speaker 1: record setting scoring going on? Do you want to come

382
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 1: out and pitch a shutout with your defense and beat them,

383
00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:01,960
Speaker 1: you know, ten nothing or even if it's thirty five nothing.

384
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:04,000
Speaker 1: Do you want to get a shutout from your defense

385
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:06,160
Speaker 1: and have them play stifling football for the first time

386
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:08,320
Speaker 1: this year? Does that set chup good going forward? Do

387
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:09,879
Speaker 1: you feel like your defense is going to get better

388
00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:12,359
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden your offense that hung forty

389
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:14,680
Speaker 1: four points on one team. Now your defense gets a

390
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:17,320
Speaker 1: shutout and you've done it with a run in the

391
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:21,359
Speaker 1: pass offensively and turnovers defensively. Now you're doing it with

392
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:24,159
Speaker 1: a shutdown defense. You know, does that set you up

393
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:26,160
Speaker 1: like you're the complete team going forward in the second

394
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:28,639
Speaker 1: half of the year. That sounds pretty good, But I

395
00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:31,000
Speaker 1: don't know if that's gonna if this one game winning

396
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:33,120
Speaker 1: it that way is going to prove that you're that team. Yeah,

397
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:35,720
Speaker 1: but it certainly means you've won a game just about

398
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 1: every way you can imagine going to this point. Coming

399
00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:41,520
Speaker 1: up later on the show, in about forty five minutes time,

400
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:44,359
Speaker 1: we will have Gary Gramling from si dot Com had

401
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 1: some interesting things to write about not only Josh Allen

402
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:51,160
Speaker 1: in the offense, but Brian Dable and Leslie Frazier after

403
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:54,640
Speaker 1: their inspiring performance last week against the Seahawks. That will

404
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:57,119
Speaker 1: check in with him in about forty five minutes, and

405
00:21:57,240 --> 00:21:59,800
Speaker 1: then in an hour and forty five minutes, we will

406
00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:03,440
Speaker 1: have our good friend Andrew Catalan from CBS Sports. He

407
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:07,480
Speaker 1: did the game last week between the Dolphins and the Cardinals,

408
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 1: so we'll get an advanced scouting report on the Cardinals

409
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:13,000
Speaker 1: for Sunday's game, and maybe even a little bit of

410
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:15,840
Speaker 1: intel on Ta and how he is looking, knowing that

411
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:20,479
Speaker 1: game is lurking in week seventeen and depending on how

412
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 1: things unfold, could be an important one when we get

413
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:25,200
Speaker 1: to the end of the season. So he'll be on

414
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:27,440
Speaker 1: it about an hour and forty five minutes, So stay

415
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:29,760
Speaker 1: tuned for those guys coming on the show a little

416
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:33,560
Speaker 1: bit later on, and we do want to get to

417
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:35,239
Speaker 1: the phones. We'll do that in a moment at eight

418
00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:37,720
Speaker 1: oh three oh five fifty open line for you one

419
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:40,399
Speaker 1: eight eight eight five fifty two five fifty. What's the

420
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:44,000
Speaker 1: most likely formula for Bill's victories going forward? Let us

421
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:47,639
Speaker 1: know what you think that would be again, choices offense

422
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:50,679
Speaker 1: stays hot through the air, defense takes another step forward,

423
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:54,360
Speaker 1: or they play more complimentary football, or maybe it's something

424
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:56,720
Speaker 1: else entirely that you've thought of that you think will

425
00:22:56,760 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 1: be their formula for success going forward and posting victories

426
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:03,760
Speaker 1: here to put themselves in a good seating position for

427
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:07,880
Speaker 1: the AFC playoffs. Let's go to the tweet sheet. Will

428
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:11,200
Speaker 1: begin there today and the tweet Sheet, as always, is

429
00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:14,080
Speaker 1: brought to you by Corrigan Moving Systems, the official equipment

430
00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:17,360
Speaker 1: moving company of the Buffalo Bills, and leading us off

431
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:21,720
Speaker 1: today is Matt who says, as usual, you make it

432
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:24,200
Speaker 1: very difficult to choose just one. Well, that's the beauty

433
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:28,760
Speaker 1: of the poll. Man. I chose B which was defense

434
00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:31,640
Speaker 1: takes another step, But really it has to be all

435
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:34,640
Speaker 1: of the above. The air attack has to stay good,

436
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:37,920
Speaker 1: although I highly doubt we'll see man coverage much. The

437
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:40,280
Speaker 1: d has to step up, and the offense needs to

438
00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:45,240
Speaker 1: reward them with putting up sevens horse race of a

439
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:47,920
Speaker 1: Twitter pool. Have you seen it? I did not look

440
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:51,159
Speaker 1: at the results just yet. Offense is thirty six percent,

441
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:54,240
Speaker 1: Defense takes another steps thirty four and a half percent,

442
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:58,600
Speaker 1: and more complimentary football is twenty nine percent. I mean

443
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:00,639
Speaker 1: that people don't know what it's going to look like

444
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:03,920
Speaker 1: going forward, and I think I don't want to go

445
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:05,200
Speaker 1: out on too much of a limb and go down

446
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:08,520
Speaker 1: this rabbit hole. But isn't that kind of what we've

447
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:12,480
Speaker 1: seen the Patriots kind of do over the course of

448
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:14,879
Speaker 1: this twenty years. We've seen that team change its identity

449
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 1: from week to week. A chameleon. They're like a chameleon,

450
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:18,719
Speaker 1: and the Bills have done that over the last two

451
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:21,480
Speaker 1: weeks they ran the ball, and didn't they thirty eight

452
00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:25,760
Speaker 1: times to eighteen times run pass and then it's passes

453
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:29,280
Speaker 1: this week thirty eight passes to ZiT to what twelve

454
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:34,919
Speaker 1: runs the other direction and the next week, so they

455
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:37,680
Speaker 1: can They've changed their identity. And I think that maybe

456
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:40,760
Speaker 1: what Sean McDermott wants to be able to do with

457
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:42,919
Speaker 1: his roster every year, and this is the first year

458
00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:44,840
Speaker 1: with a quarterback like that we've got played like this

459
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:46,600
Speaker 1: that they've had the guns to do it, and it

460
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:48,760
Speaker 1: had Pete Carroll crossed up. I can tell you that

461
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:50,439
Speaker 1: because after the game he's saying, I thought they were

462
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:52,560
Speaker 1: going to run the ball and they came out and

463
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:55,600
Speaker 1: threw it all over the yard. So it does make

464
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:59,399
Speaker 1: them more unpredictable and it has kept opposing coaches guessing

465
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 1: on Sundays, and that's the Buffalo's advantage. Obviously. Let's go

466
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:05,320
Speaker 1: to the phones at eight oh three, five fifty. We're

467
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:08,800
Speaker 1: gonna lead off today with Henry in Lackawanna. Henry are

468
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 1: on one bills live. What do you have for us? Henry?

469
00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:22,120
Speaker 1: Henry on hold here, Let's go to Jay in Michigan. Jay,

470
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:25,120
Speaker 1: what do you have for us? Welcome to one Bills Live. Hey,

471
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:28,400
Speaker 1: love the show, guys. I'm excited about the bills. I'm

472
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:32,359
Speaker 1: getting two year guys in query. My question is is

473
00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:36,280
Speaker 1: olivern People say he's too small, but yet he did

474
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:39,760
Speaker 1: a triple teams. He did a lot better job last

475
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:43,960
Speaker 1: year on pursuing tackles. But I'm not seeing it and

476
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:48,200
Speaker 1: we really need him to step before the next stretch. Now,

477
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:52,720
Speaker 1: the coaching staff did something for aj the linebacker, to

478
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:55,320
Speaker 1: designed something to get him involved, and that was awesome.

479
00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:58,120
Speaker 1: What can we do to get this very chalcis young

480
00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:02,480
Speaker 1: man too to produce. I would like to see it

481
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:05,240
Speaker 1: because we have no options right now. People are saying

482
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:09,920
Speaker 1: Star is not there and all these excuses. But Ed

483
00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:13,479
Speaker 1: is number six. I love him, He's part of the family.

484
00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:16,159
Speaker 1: We gotta get him going. Thank you guys. Yeah, I

485
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:19,639
Speaker 1: appreciate the call. We had a similar call yesterday on

486
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:22,359
Speaker 1: this and I will say this, I think Ed is

487
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:27,520
Speaker 1: making strides towards being more of a quote unquote playmaker

488
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 1: that you do notice on television on Sundays. I will

489
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:35,000
Speaker 1: say this though, over the last two weeks he has

490
00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:40,000
Speaker 1: spilled plays two teammates, and what I mean by that

491
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:43,200
Speaker 1: is he's either forced quarterbacks to flush out of the

492
00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:46,320
Speaker 1: pocket and then he falls into the waiting arms of

493
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:50,040
Speaker 1: someone coming off the edge. He did that on Sunday.

494
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:53,000
Speaker 1: I mentioned this play yesterday. There was a stunt that

495
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:58,119
Speaker 1: he and aj Klein ran where Kleine takes the guard

496
00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:01,320
Speaker 1: who was lined up over Oliver at the snap. Oliver's

497
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:04,040
Speaker 1: you know, kind of comes around him on a stunt

498
00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:06,320
Speaker 1: and he's one on one with a running back and

499
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:08,840
Speaker 1: walks the running back right back into Russell Wilson to

500
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:11,159
Speaker 1: the point where he has to leave the pocket. He

501
00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:15,199
Speaker 1: escapes the pocket to his left and Jerry Hughes peels

502
00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:18,480
Speaker 1: back off his upfield rush and comes from behind and

503
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:21,720
Speaker 1: strips the ball and the Bills recover the fumble tradevious

504
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:23,399
Speaker 1: White comes up with the fumble recovery. They go the

505
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:26,200
Speaker 1: other way and score three points. So Ed Oliver is

506
00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:30,359
Speaker 1: having an impact on the game. He's just not the

507
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:34,119
Speaker 1: guy at the very end of that giant play that

508
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:36,840
Speaker 1: you say, oh, there's ninety one. But he is having

509
00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:38,840
Speaker 1: an impact on the game, I believe just from what

510
00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:41,159
Speaker 1: I've seen, and I'll say this too, because of his

511
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:43,240
Speaker 1: size and his skill set. He's one of those guys

512
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:46,480
Speaker 1: that benefits the most from having a big body down inside.

513
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:50,560
Speaker 1: If you single Ed Oliver, he's gonna get to the

514
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:52,720
Speaker 1: quarterback and he's gonna get there fast. Plus he'll get

515
00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:55,200
Speaker 1: through the gaps and he's a penetrator. He's that kind

516
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:57,919
Speaker 1: of guy. Now. Also, this last weekend, as you mentioned,

517
00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 1: he was getting some help from aj some other guys

518
00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:03,880
Speaker 1: with some stunts and some movement down inside. That gave

519
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:06,720
Speaker 1: him a chance to be disruptive. And even though he

520
00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:08,680
Speaker 1: wasn't the guy on top of the quarterback at the

521
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:11,480
Speaker 1: end of the play, the play was made by him

522
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:15,159
Speaker 1: and his stunt and his mobility and quickness upfront. So

523
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:18,040
Speaker 1: you're right, he's gonna have to have a different kind

524
00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:20,600
Speaker 1: of year this year than he probably anticipated having with

525
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:22,920
Speaker 1: a guy like Star Lutuli lay down inside of him,

526
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:26,280
Speaker 1: or like he did last year with Jordan Phillips out

527
00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:29,760
Speaker 1: there as well. So he's gonna have to and it's probably,

528
00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:32,879
Speaker 1: you know, at this point, maybe he's gonna finally get

529
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:34,960
Speaker 1: his arms around it halfway through the season where he

530
00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:37,960
Speaker 1: understands what that's gonna be in how he's gonna change

531
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:42,640
Speaker 1: his game and style of play because of what he's

532
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:44,320
Speaker 1: being asked to do in the defense and the guys

533
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:47,680
Speaker 1: around him, So he is no question was gonna have

534
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:50,000
Speaker 1: to be one of those defensive lineman, probably the defensive

535
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:52,560
Speaker 1: lineman on this Bill's roster that had to adjust the

536
00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:56,280
Speaker 1: most to the way the league has been with COVID

537
00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:58,840
Speaker 1: with all the big guys opting out, and you know,

538
00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:01,120
Speaker 1: it's probably taking him this long for the coaching staff

539
00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:02,640
Speaker 1: to figure out what they want him to do and

540
00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:04,400
Speaker 1: how they can use him, and for him to get

541
00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:07,200
Speaker 1: his mind around it and to understand the different techniques

542
00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:09,560
Speaker 1: he's going to have to use to do it. So, yeah,

543
00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:11,600
Speaker 1: maybe we will see him emerge here in the second

544
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:14,560
Speaker 1: half of the season like we'd like we'd mentioned last year. Yeah,

545
00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:17,400
Speaker 1: like we saw last year as well. Yeah, so, but

546
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:19,200
Speaker 1: I think that's where he was at early in the season.

547
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 1: We'll see if it evolves away from that. But you're right,

548
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:24,920
Speaker 1: I'd love to see more out of ed and and

549
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:29,560
Speaker 1: his skill set. I think it needs the right chemistry

550
00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:32,480
Speaker 1: upfront with him for him to be effective. Eight oh

551
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:35,640
Speaker 1: three oh five fifty one eight eight five fifty two

552
00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:37,920
Speaker 1: five fifty the number to get on board. What's the

553
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:41,720
Speaker 1: most likely formula for Bills victories going forward? We'll take

554

570
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:35,880
Speaker 1: What do you have for us? Big good afternoon, gentlemen.

571
00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:38,920
Speaker 1: I just had an opinion, first of all, for the

572
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:42,000
Speaker 1: formula we're talking about here. I like what the Bills

573
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:44,960
Speaker 1: are doing. I mean against Seattle, they went, you know,

574
00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:48,320
Speaker 1: with a passing Seattle's weekend of pass and I think

575
00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:50,400
Speaker 1: they did the right thing there, and against the teams

576
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:52,880
Speaker 1: they can run against, they're running. I know we'd like

577
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:57,000
Speaker 1: to establish a run game, but listening to you gentlemen talk,

578
00:30:57,600 --> 00:30:59,880
Speaker 1: I truly believe they're going the right route that way.

579
00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:02,800
Speaker 1: And then I also wanted to see if you had

580
00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:06,280
Speaker 1: an opinion on the NFL's contingency plan. I just was listening.

581
00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:10,360
Speaker 1: You know, they're talking about everything's COVID, and they're saying

582
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:15,000
Speaker 1: they might do eighteen games, might go with eight teams

583
00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:17,040
Speaker 1: from each conference, and I just wanted to see what

584
00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:19,160
Speaker 1: you gentlemen thought about that. Thank you. Yeah, there's a

585
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:22,240
Speaker 1: couple of things that I think about. I like the idea.

586
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:24,120
Speaker 1: One of the content. One of the aspects of the

587
00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:27,120
Speaker 1: contingency plan is that they're going to recede. There's not

588
00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:30,240
Speaker 1: gonna it doesn't matter if they don't play eighteen games

589
00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:33,239
Speaker 1: or or you know, or sixteen games if some if

590
00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:35,680
Speaker 1: it's all kind of muddled at the end, they are

591
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:39,840
Speaker 1: gonna throw in the best eight teams and then seed

592
00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:43,720
Speaker 1: them according to win percentage, and they'll have tie breakers

593
00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:46,160
Speaker 1: and all of that. I believe division winners are the

594
00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:49,560
Speaker 1: top four seeds and then it's win percentage after that. Okay,

595
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:52,560
Speaker 1: if I believe that's how I read it, I'll double check.

596
00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:55,320
Speaker 1: But I think that's how division division leaders if they

597
00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:58,840
Speaker 1: don't play sixteen right top or division went Yeah, division leaders,

598
00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:03,760
Speaker 1: right divisions. I kind of like that receding and instead

599
00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:06,920
Speaker 1: of just by rote doing it. But it also heard

600
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:10,440
Speaker 1: too that if they don't play all sixteen games, and

601
00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:13,320
Speaker 1: there's a chance that the NFC East doesn't get in

602
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:16,520
Speaker 1: if they do it, if there's a contingency out there

603
00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:22,960
Speaker 1: that says they're gonna have teams that are excluded even

604
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:24,840
Speaker 1: if they're the best team in that divisions. That's so

605
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:27,480
Speaker 1: we're saying, like a seven and nine or a six

606
00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:29,840
Speaker 1: to nine and one Philadelphia Eagles team that's at the

607
00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:32,600
Speaker 1: top of the NFC East might be out in the cold. Yeah,

608
00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:34,920
Speaker 1: I don't I don't remember reading it that way. I

609
00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:37,840
Speaker 1: thought it was four division winners and then the next

610
00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:40,960
Speaker 1: four best teams based on winning percentage was how I

611
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:46,280
Speaker 1: thought it was drawn up. And I do like it, though,

612
00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:50,200
Speaker 1: I mean and believe me, it's only a contingency because

613
00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:53,520
Speaker 1: right now they're plowing through it. And aside from what

614
00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:56,719
Speaker 1: happened with the Tennessee Titans in Week five of the season.

615
00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:00,640
Speaker 1: I think they're you know, I think they've got a

616
00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:02,240
Speaker 1: lid on and they're going to kind of plow through

617
00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:06,160
Speaker 1: this and the games are gonna happen. Even in the

618
00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:10,400
Speaker 1: midst of this uptick we're seeing in cases around the country,

619
00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:14,400
Speaker 1: the league is chugging along, and at times it only

620
00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:17,240
Speaker 1: appears to just be barely moving, but it is. And

621
00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:23,040
Speaker 1: I think that this contingency plan, while it is prudent

622
00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:25,320
Speaker 1: to have one in place, it is just that it's

623
00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:27,320
Speaker 1: just a contingency. But because I think they're planning on

624
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:30,320
Speaker 1: getting two hundred and fifty six games in right, I

625
00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:33,920
Speaker 1: have to say it's a little annoying for me seeing

626
00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:36,600
Speaker 1: the Bills at seven and two and knowing not one,

627
00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:39,760
Speaker 1: but now two extra teams in the conference could potentially

628
00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:43,240
Speaker 1: get to the postseason. The Bills finally earn or look

629
00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:45,040
Speaker 1: like they're going to earn what will be a top

630
00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:49,120
Speaker 1: four seed, and there's four other freaking teams coming in

631
00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:52,640
Speaker 1: now Like it used to be twelve in a conference,

632
00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:56,680
Speaker 1: Now it's sixteen, Like what the hell? Man? Like, you know,

633
00:33:56,840 --> 00:33:59,520
Speaker 1: if this was in place, there's a couple of years

634
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:01,880
Speaker 1: where you know, those nine and seven seasons that would

635
00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:06,320
Speaker 1: have got in and now now it's changed. It's just

636
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:08,680
Speaker 1: I don't know. It's like the Bills finally have a

637
00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:11,120
Speaker 1: good team and now they've got to deal with some

638
00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:13,719
Speaker 1: you know, and it's it's a one game thing. You're

639
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:17,280
Speaker 1: not talking about series like you're doing basketball or hockey

640
00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:20,239
Speaker 1: or baseball. It's one and done, win or go home.

641
00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:24,160
Speaker 1: And I just don't like the idea of some upstart

642
00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:28,080
Speaker 1: eight seed coming in and wrecking the bar and getting in. Yeah,

643
00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:31,600
Speaker 1: that bugs me. I don't like it. I don't like it.

644
00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:34,879
Speaker 1: I know it's it's got a tournament feel, and that's

645
00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:37,200
Speaker 1: fun and all of that stuff. I get it, but

646
00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:39,640
Speaker 1: I'm I'm sorry, I'm gonna be a little selfish here.

647
00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:43,440
Speaker 1: I don't like eight teams getting in. Yeah, I'm totally

648
00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:45,560
Speaker 1: with you because now you're because now what is it?

649
00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:49,120
Speaker 1: I mean, the thing that the NFL could hold over

650
00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:52,719
Speaker 1: just about every other professional sports league is it's hard

651
00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:55,200
Speaker 1: to make the postseason in our league. Yeah, it's hard.

652
00:34:55,719 --> 00:34:58,880
Speaker 1: Twelve out of thirty two teams make the playoffs. Twelve.

653
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:01,640
Speaker 1: You got to have everything going right. You got more

654
00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:04,160
Speaker 1: than half the league in the NHL making the playoffs.

655
00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:06,480
Speaker 1: You know, it's in the NHL you kind of play

656
00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:08,279
Speaker 1: your way out of the playoffs, not into the play

657
00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:11,720
Speaker 1: I mean that's a that And in Major League Baseball

658
00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:13,399
Speaker 1: is kind of the same way too, only a short

659
00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:15,799
Speaker 1: Oh my god, these wild they got wild cards coming

660
00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:18,000
Speaker 1: out of the Wazoo. Now it's like you got a

661
00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:20,840
Speaker 1: freaking poker player with seven cards up his sleep. How

662
00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:23,960
Speaker 1: many wild cards are coming out here. It's ridiculous. Yeah,

663
00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:28,160
Speaker 1: So it's it's it is for that had has been

664
00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:30,400
Speaker 1: one of the things that is that COVID has forced

665
00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:32,880
Speaker 1: to change around the end. Yeah, and I can I mean,

666
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:35,520
Speaker 1: look at the Hockey League and how it has struggle

667
00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:38,000
Speaker 1: last year, how it struggled to just get those games

668
00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:42,120
Speaker 1: in and in the bubble, and nothing felt normal about

669
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:45,799
Speaker 1: that hockey season last year. It was just everything about

670
00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:48,080
Speaker 1: it was rough. And I understand you have to adjust

671
00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:52,000
Speaker 1: in these pandemic times to a certain extent, but I

672
00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:54,080
Speaker 1: don't know why you got. You already widened the pool

673
00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:56,720
Speaker 1: with the CBA, you added a team to each conference

674
00:35:56,800 --> 00:36:00,120
Speaker 1: already to make it fourteen total teams, and now you're

675
00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:02,759
Speaker 1: gonna bump it up to half the league. And I

676
00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:05,000
Speaker 1: don't know. Maybe the reason they did that was because

677
00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:09,239
Speaker 1: thereof the opinion that someone is probably going to get

678
00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:12,640
Speaker 1: short change that's in contention for the playoffs. So to

679
00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:16,120
Speaker 1: eliminate that possibility, we'll just add two more teams so

680
00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:18,760
Speaker 1: they don't have as many people cry in sour grapes. Otherwise,

681
00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:21,600
Speaker 1: what's the impetus to make more money? Because you've lost games?

682
00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:24,320
Speaker 1: That's probably what it is you've loved. If you lose

683
00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:29,799
Speaker 1: meaningful games, Steve, and the network can't air them, how

684
00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:34,120
Speaker 1: do you replace those games by adding playoff teams? Right,

685
00:36:34,239 --> 00:36:36,520
Speaker 1: That's how you do it. So that's the impetus when

686
00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:41,200
Speaker 1: in doubt, follow the money. And you look at every league, Baseball, hockey,

687
00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:44,600
Speaker 1: and football. To a certain extent, I think football, the

688
00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:48,640
Speaker 1: appearance of what football is doing has less the look

689
00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:53,560
Speaker 1: of they had to make serious decisions about how their

690
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:57,200
Speaker 1: league was gonna look this year. They had to make

691
00:36:57,280 --> 00:37:01,560
Speaker 1: serious decisions, and those decisions look like they were economic decisions,

692
00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:08,640
Speaker 1: not competitive decisions. This one, the playoff edition, This this

693
00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:14,400
Speaker 1: contingency plan. It does smack a little bit of we

694
00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:16,360
Speaker 1: got a partner, we gotta payoff here in the in

695
00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:19,480
Speaker 1: the radio, in the television. But it's a contingency. They're

696
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:21,239
Speaker 1: not gonna try and they're gonna try not to make

697
00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:23,520
Speaker 1: that happen, and they may not. Well, they're doing it

698
00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:26,040
Speaker 1: in the event that they lose other meaningful games. So

699
00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:28,439
Speaker 1: let's just say it's just a plan. It's not gonna

700
00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:31,560
Speaker 1: I understand that. So let's just say, Steve, that the

701
00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:35,920
Speaker 1: league loses the Sunday night game between the Chiefs and

702
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:37,640
Speaker 1: the Bucks not don't even know if that's on the schedule.

703
00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:40,480
Speaker 1: I'm just using it as an example. Mahomes and Brady

704
00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:43,319
Speaker 1: Sunday Night football and all of a sudden it can't

705
00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:47,200
Speaker 1: be played because of COVID and outbreak whatever, And NBC

706
00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:50,319
Speaker 1: is like, Hey, what the hell, man, we just lost

707
00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:52,600
Speaker 1: Brady Mahomes. Are you kidding me? How are you gonna

708
00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:54,640
Speaker 1: make that up to us? Oh jeez, what the heck

709
00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:57,560
Speaker 1: are we gonna do? I know, We'll just add two

710
00:37:57,719 --> 00:38:01,640
Speaker 1: extra playoff teams, have an extra round of playoff inventory,

711
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:04,680
Speaker 1: and that'll appease the networks. That's that's the whole point

712
00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:08,359
Speaker 1: of the contingency plan, right, But they've also see they

713
00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:10,520
Speaker 1: also have a number of things they can do before

714
00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:13,920
Speaker 1: that gets to that point, meaning flex scheduling that's already

715
00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:18,920
Speaker 1: week eighteen. But eighteen is a dicey proposition because, as

716
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:21,560
Speaker 1: you've stated here on the show, if you've got a

717
00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:25,480
Speaker 1: team that runs into a major COVID issue and they

718
00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:27,719
Speaker 1: don't miss one but two games, you can't make up

719
00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:30,239
Speaker 1: two games in one week with the same team. You

720
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:33,560
Speaker 1: just can't do it right. So that's a dicey solution

721
00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:36,279
Speaker 1: to come up with. We're getting ahead of ourselves though,

722
00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:38,560
Speaker 1: well maybe we are, but it's fun. We are ahead

723
00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:41,000
Speaker 1: of our shows because none of that stuff is happening yet.

724
00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:46,120
Speaker 1: Week eighteen's not happening yet, right, you know. It's just

725
00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:51,560
Speaker 1: this is all worst case scenarios, and in twenty twenty,

726
00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:55,560
Speaker 1: maybe they're right to expect worst case scenarios, the ones

727
00:38:55,640 --> 00:38:58,520
Speaker 1: we've all been living through for nine months here or

728
00:38:58,840 --> 00:39:04,040
Speaker 1: well what is it now, eleven? So yeah, it is

729
00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:07,480
Speaker 1: gonna cause other a ripple effect and other problems. What

730
00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:11,440
Speaker 1: I what I what I fear most is because right now, Brownie,

731
00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:13,719
Speaker 1: where I'm sitting here in the middle of this pandemic

732
00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:16,239
Speaker 1: and their uptick and it's the it's the second wave

733
00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:19,200
Speaker 1: that we had heard about. It's whatever. We're sitting here

734
00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:22,239
Speaker 1: neck deep in this virus and it's getting worse. What

735
00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:25,960
Speaker 1: I don't want to see is the adjustments that we've

736
00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:29,120
Speaker 1: I get it. Okay, eight teams in the playoffs for

737
00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:31,280
Speaker 1: twenty twenty, Okay, I get it. Now, a week eighteen

738
00:39:31,320 --> 00:39:33,279
Speaker 1: in the regular season, Okay, I get it. Fine, and

739
00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:35,600
Speaker 1: this team doesn't get a bye week, this team gets

740
00:39:35,640 --> 00:39:39,400
Speaker 1: a bye week. Whatever, I get it. It's hard. Just

741
00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:44,080
Speaker 1: none of this stuff is permanent, right, go back, go

742
00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:47,399
Speaker 1: back to the seven team playoffs next year, go back

743
00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:51,520
Speaker 1: to the you know, don't think, don't just don't grab

744
00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:53,439
Speaker 1: the money and run. I guess is what I'm saying.

745
00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:56,560
Speaker 1: Don't think. Well, they we gotta wait with it during

746
00:39:56,560 --> 00:40:00,279
Speaker 1: their pandemic. Let's just keep doing this, right, Okay, let's

747
00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:03,480
Speaker 1: not do that. I'll make adjustments. Whatever happens has to

748
00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:05,959
Speaker 1: happen this season, but don't force it down my throat

749
00:40:06,080 --> 00:40:09,520
Speaker 1: last season because it went okay, and it's saved saved

750
00:40:09,560 --> 00:40:12,759
Speaker 1: you a couple of bucks in twenty twenty. Let's see

751
00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:14,960
Speaker 1: if it'll make us a couple of bucks in twenty

752
00:40:15,080 --> 00:40:19,000
Speaker 1: twenty one. You know, come on, give us, give us

753
00:40:19,160 --> 00:40:21,520
Speaker 1: a give us get back to normal, get back to

754
00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:25,120
Speaker 1: the league the way it was. Before this pandemic. I'll

755
00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:27,880
Speaker 1: make whatever adjustments we gotta make this year, fine, and

756
00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:29,880
Speaker 1: I'll live with it, and I'll bite the bullet. I

757
00:40:29,960 --> 00:40:33,240
Speaker 1: can say that because we're seven and two, but because

758
00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:35,360
Speaker 1: we're not one of those teams that's five and like

759
00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:38,799
Speaker 1: the Dolphins, we're not five and three now with you know, hey,

760
00:40:39,160 --> 00:40:41,839
Speaker 1: we're in it now, but we lose one more game

761
00:40:41,880 --> 00:40:43,600
Speaker 1: and now we're out of it. Now we win, we're in.

762
00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:46,600
Speaker 1: And if we lose now we're still in. That's because

763
00:40:46,600 --> 00:40:48,520
Speaker 1: the other team, law, you know what I'm saying, we

764
00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:50,560
Speaker 1: don't want to be I know there's gonna be teams

765
00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:56,600
Speaker 1: like that, but just you know, don't don't start falling

766
00:40:56,640 --> 00:40:59,560
Speaker 1: in love with all these adjustments. Well I'm not falling

767
00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:00,919
Speaker 1: in love with As a matter of fact, I don't

768
00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:03,279
Speaker 1: like one of them. I don't like sixteen teams. I

769
00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:05,759
Speaker 1: want too many. I want the pool smaller, but too many.

770
00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:08,399
Speaker 1: They're trying the whole impetus there is to make up

771
00:41:08,719 --> 00:41:14,160
Speaker 1: for potential lost revenue for broadcast partners if games get canceled.

772
00:41:15,040 --> 00:41:16,640
Speaker 1: To me, that's the bottom line. The only way to

773
00:41:16,680 --> 00:41:19,200
Speaker 1: recoup that is by expanding the playoff field to provide

774
00:41:19,239 --> 00:41:21,800
Speaker 1: more inventory and more games to air, so the lost

775
00:41:21,840 --> 00:41:24,399
Speaker 1: games can be made up with extra playoff games, which

776
00:41:24,520 --> 00:41:28,240
Speaker 1: they can build as even more appealing because it's the playoffs.

777
00:41:28,560 --> 00:41:30,960
Speaker 1: So that's kind of where they're at with that. And

778
00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:33,600
Speaker 1: you know, good on them for trying to make good

779
00:41:33,719 --> 00:41:36,400
Speaker 1: with their broadcast partners, who give them more money than

780
00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:39,480
Speaker 1: anyone else in the universe. Yeah, and I get it.

781
00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:42,000
Speaker 1: And I just said that it's just a plan and

782
00:41:42,120 --> 00:41:44,640
Speaker 1: it's in case of something bad happening, or one or

783
00:41:44,680 --> 00:41:47,839
Speaker 1: two bad things happening at once that you can't fix.

784
00:41:49,040 --> 00:41:51,839
Speaker 1: But man, oh man, I hope it doesn't come to that. Yeah,

785
00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:54,480
Speaker 1: me too, because I fourteen teams is more than enough.

786
00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:59,719
Speaker 1: Teams is on the verge of being too many. It's

787
00:41:59,760 --> 00:42:01,839
Speaker 1: more than enough. So I mean, I always always thought

788
00:42:01,960 --> 00:42:09,560
Speaker 1: six teams per conference. That's you know, that's hard. That's

789
00:42:09,719 --> 00:42:11,719
Speaker 1: that's hard to get into that group. It's really hard

790
00:42:11,760 --> 00:42:14,479
Speaker 1: to get in. And nobody knows that more than Bills fans.

791
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:17,440
Speaker 1: It's hard to get in there. It's hard to get

792
00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:20,359
Speaker 1: and that's why I'm a little bit frustrated because all

793
00:42:20,400 --> 00:42:23,719
Speaker 1: those years when it was hard to get in and

794
00:42:23,840 --> 00:42:27,919
Speaker 1: the Bills couldn't and they were on the outside looking in. Okay, fine,

795
00:42:28,160 --> 00:42:30,799
Speaker 1: these this is the way it goes. Now. It's just like, well,

796
00:42:30,920 --> 00:42:33,960
Speaker 1: hold on a second. Now, it's easier to get in

797
00:42:34,239 --> 00:42:37,759
Speaker 1: now that we're finally putting up ten win seasons. And

798
00:42:37,880 --> 00:42:40,080
Speaker 1: here's what it is it's turning out to be. It

799
00:42:40,239 --> 00:42:42,719
Speaker 1: was the it was the four best teams in those divisions,

800
00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:49,800
Speaker 1: and it was the two best teams in whatever divisions

801
00:42:50,040 --> 00:42:53,000
Speaker 1: based on record, Based on record, what it I would

802
00:42:53,040 --> 00:42:56,120
Speaker 1: be more inclined to go back to the six team

803
00:42:56,920 --> 00:43:01,200
Speaker 1: format and do away with the divisions. Just sixty six

804
00:43:01,360 --> 00:43:05,440
Speaker 1: best six teams, best sixteams. And I get it that

805
00:43:05,920 --> 00:43:07,840
Speaker 1: you want to you got some rivalry games and you

806
00:43:07,880 --> 00:43:09,880
Speaker 1: want some things going on there that that kind of

807
00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:13,839
Speaker 1: throws some sanctity siondition that we all know and love.

808
00:43:14,560 --> 00:43:18,600
Speaker 1: But just just give me the best six teams, you know,

809
00:43:18,680 --> 00:43:21,160
Speaker 1: and if you have one division that on one year,

810
00:43:21,280 --> 00:43:26,120
Speaker 1: they all stink. Okay, they all stink. Yeah, I get it.

811
00:43:26,640 --> 00:43:28,560
Speaker 1: All right, We have to take a break. But when

812
00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:30,719
Speaker 1: we return, more of your phone calls, more of your

813
00:43:30,760 --> 00:43:34,520
Speaker 1: comments on the tweet sheet. As we are asking you,

814
00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:38,040
Speaker 1: what's the most likely formula for Bills victories going forward?

815
00:43:38,040 --> 00:43:39,799
Speaker 1: You've seen him run the ball. You've seen him throw

816
00:43:39,840 --> 00:43:42,040
Speaker 1: the ball. You've seen the defense blitz and get sacks.

817
00:43:42,960 --> 00:43:45,239
Speaker 1: What's the formula for success going forward for this team?

818
00:43:45,280 --> 00:43:47,279
Speaker 1: Do you think we'll take your calls? Eight h three

819
00:43:47,360 --> 00:43:49,279
Speaker 1: oh five fifty back in a flash here on One

820
00:43:49,320 --> 00:44:01,320
Speaker 1: Bill's Life Presentnybody COLLI to help. It's Buffalo Bills Radios,

821
00:44:01,760 --> 00:44:06,120
Speaker 1: Steve Kasker, One Bill Live, Your practice Update. We wanted

822
00:44:06,160 --> 00:44:10,120
Speaker 1: to pass that along too quickly, so John Brown not

823
00:44:10,360 --> 00:44:13,680
Speaker 1: practicing today. It appears he was not spotted out there

824
00:44:13,800 --> 00:44:16,080
Speaker 1: during the media viewing portion of practice. He has gotten

825
00:44:16,120 --> 00:44:18,960
Speaker 1: a lot of Wednesdays off as he's been working his

826
00:44:19,040 --> 00:44:22,640
Speaker 1: way through this nagging knee injury, so I don't think

827
00:44:22,680 --> 00:44:26,239
Speaker 1: that's much of a surprise there. Matt Milano was seen

828
00:44:26,360 --> 00:44:28,160
Speaker 1: working on the side, but as we all know, he's

829
00:44:28,160 --> 00:44:30,600
Speaker 1: on injured reserve and will not be eligible to play

830
00:44:31,239 --> 00:44:36,120
Speaker 1: until after the Chargers game at the earliest. Trudavious White,

831
00:44:36,520 --> 00:44:41,800
Speaker 1: Brian Winters, Cody Ford, Taiwan Jones also not practicing, and

832
00:44:41,840 --> 00:44:43,800
Speaker 1: as we mentioned earlier in the show, Mitch Morse is

833
00:44:43,840 --> 00:44:47,279
Speaker 1: out of the concussion protocol. He is practicing, and so

834
00:44:47,560 --> 00:44:51,319
Speaker 1: is Josh Norman, who's trying to come back again from

835
00:44:51,560 --> 00:44:55,920
Speaker 1: a nagging hamstring injury. So those are your updates from practice.

836
00:44:56,320 --> 00:44:59,880
Speaker 1: Delshan Phillips not seen during the media viewing portion of

837
00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:02,880
Speaker 1: practice either, so we'll have to see if he pops

838
00:45:02,960 --> 00:45:05,879
Speaker 1: up on the injury report this week when it comes

839
00:45:05,920 --> 00:45:09,000
Speaker 1: out later this afternoon. Let's get back to the phones.

840
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:12,640
Speaker 1: At eight oh three oh five fifty eight fifty two

841
00:45:12,760 --> 00:45:15,719
Speaker 1: five fifty we go to John in Amherst. John, what

842
00:45:15,800 --> 00:45:18,680
Speaker 1: do you have for us? Welcome to the One Bill's Live. Well,

843
00:45:18,719 --> 00:45:21,719
Speaker 1: I apologize because I missed the first few minutes of

844
00:45:21,760 --> 00:45:26,920
Speaker 1: the show, but I'm wondering if you had made a

845
00:45:27,560 --> 00:45:33,360
Speaker 1: reference today being Veterans Day that former Buffalo Bill Bob Kelse,

846
00:45:33,440 --> 00:45:38,239
Speaker 1: who gave his life serving this country in the Vietnam War.

847
00:45:39,680 --> 00:45:42,759
Speaker 1: He died while he was reading a letter from his

848
00:45:42,960 --> 00:45:46,560
Speaker 1: wife telling him about her due date, and it just

849
00:45:46,680 --> 00:45:51,680
Speaker 1: so happened that he was killed on that due date.

850
00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:57,560
Speaker 1: And I just felt he, being the first NFL player

851
00:45:57,680 --> 00:46:01,000
Speaker 1: to ever be killed in the line of service, that

852
00:46:01,560 --> 00:46:04,600
Speaker 1: we should at least pay a little recognition to him.

853
00:46:05,200 --> 00:46:09,680
Speaker 1: And in doing so, I just wondered, since we aren't

854
00:46:09,680 --> 00:46:12,920
Speaker 1: able to go to the games, if the Buffalo Bills

855
00:46:13,680 --> 00:46:16,560
Speaker 1: came out of the locker room and saluted their veterans

856
00:46:16,719 --> 00:46:19,759
Speaker 1: during the national anthem this past Sunday, or if they

857
00:46:20,160 --> 00:46:24,719
Speaker 1: kept hiding in the locker room, which I find a

858
00:46:24,840 --> 00:46:28,960
Speaker 1: little embarrassing, if they say their support their veterans but

859
00:46:29,520 --> 00:46:32,480
Speaker 1: they weren't willing to come out during the national anthem

860
00:46:32,880 --> 00:46:36,560
Speaker 1: and actually do so. As I've always felt that actions

861
00:46:36,600 --> 00:46:43,719
Speaker 1: speak louder than words. And God bless our our veterans today. Ye, John,

862
00:46:43,760 --> 00:46:47,160
Speaker 1: thank you appreciate it, and they did, they did not.

863
00:46:47,360 --> 00:46:50,000
Speaker 1: And it has nothing to do with whether they respect

864
00:46:50,080 --> 00:46:52,440
Speaker 1: or disrespect the veterans, I assure you. It has us

865
00:46:52,640 --> 00:46:55,120
Speaker 1: to do with other things. Yeah, And that's the most

866
00:46:55,120 --> 00:46:57,359
Speaker 1: important question that you have to ask when you see

867
00:46:57,440 --> 00:47:01,600
Speaker 1: people doing something that might have and you, instead of

868
00:47:01,719 --> 00:47:06,160
Speaker 1: just worried about being offended, ask yourself why you think

869
00:47:06,200 --> 00:47:08,239
Speaker 1: they're doing it, Because if you take the time to

870
00:47:08,360 --> 00:47:11,919
Speaker 1: do that, you may find yourself in a place where

871
00:47:11,920 --> 00:47:16,279
Speaker 1: you say, Okay, that's that's their right to express their

872
00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:19,840
Speaker 1: freedom of speech or whatever you might want to describe it.

873
00:47:19,960 --> 00:47:21,520
Speaker 1: I can't speak for the players or coach about it.

874
00:47:23,400 --> 00:47:26,000
Speaker 1: You'd be better instead of making assumptions like you did

875
00:47:26,080 --> 00:47:28,520
Speaker 1: about what they feel about the veterans is trying to

876
00:47:28,560 --> 00:47:30,600
Speaker 1: find out where they are and trying to understand it,

877
00:47:31,040 --> 00:47:33,680
Speaker 1: try to understand why, ask why they're doing it, and

878
00:47:34,040 --> 00:47:36,600
Speaker 1: then you might be able to start a conversation that's uh,

879
00:47:37,400 --> 00:47:41,759
Speaker 1: that's worthy of of you and and our veterans. Yeah,

880
00:47:41,760 --> 00:47:43,960
Speaker 1: and there aren't enough of those conversations, which is why

881
00:47:44,680 --> 00:47:47,880
Speaker 1: we see the divide that unfortunately has has gripped this

882
00:47:47,960 --> 00:47:51,799
Speaker 1: country all too often and on many different levels. Um.

883
00:47:52,480 --> 00:47:54,959
Speaker 1: But that's another subject for another day. But I'm glad

884
00:47:55,000 --> 00:47:58,279
Speaker 1: you called to remind everybody that it is Veterans Day

885
00:47:58,320 --> 00:48:00,920
Speaker 1: and I'll be calling my dad after the show today

886
00:48:00,960 --> 00:48:04,120
Speaker 1: because he is a veteran and I try to call

887
00:48:04,239 --> 00:48:07,000
Speaker 1: him on every Veterans Day to just thank him for

888
00:48:07,160 --> 00:48:10,320
Speaker 1: his service. He was drafted to serve in Vietnam. Unfortunately

889
00:48:10,440 --> 00:48:14,680
Speaker 1: he was stationed in Alaska, where there was a giant

890
00:48:14,800 --> 00:48:17,320
Speaker 1: Russian threat. They were convinced the Russians were going to

891
00:48:17,400 --> 00:48:20,520
Speaker 1: invade through Alaska, which sounds silly to say it now,

892
00:48:20,600 --> 00:48:23,520
Speaker 1: but it was not silly back then at all. Everything Ye,

893
00:48:23,760 --> 00:48:30,200
Speaker 1: everything was up up for debate and for possibility. So yeah,

894
00:48:30,400 --> 00:48:32,160
Speaker 1: I mean he served in a much different way but

895
00:48:32,200 --> 00:48:35,160
Speaker 1: he served nonetheless, So I'll be calling him after the

896
00:48:35,160 --> 00:48:38,400
Speaker 1: show today to wish him a happy Veterans Day, as

897
00:48:38,400 --> 00:48:41,759
Speaker 1: I try to do every single year. So yes, thank

898
00:48:41,840 --> 00:48:44,359
Speaker 1: you to all the vets out there. Today is your

899
00:48:44,520 --> 00:48:48,200
Speaker 1: day to be honored and recognized and deservedly so. And

900
00:48:49,120 --> 00:48:52,360
Speaker 1: Bob Calsue was mentioned, but and he deserves to be

901
00:48:52,400 --> 00:48:55,320
Speaker 1: recognized on Veterans Day too, but maybe even more importantly

902
00:48:55,400 --> 00:48:57,680
Speaker 1: Memorial Day. I mean, that's the day where you remember

903
00:48:57,760 --> 00:49:01,040
Speaker 1: veterans like him who gave the ultimate sac defice. So

904
00:49:02,239 --> 00:49:04,920
Speaker 1: thanks for the call, John, We appreciate it, and we

905
00:49:05,120 --> 00:49:07,040
Speaker 1: have to take a break right now. But when we

906
00:49:07,160 --> 00:49:09,239
Speaker 1: come back on the other side of the top of

907
00:49:09,280 --> 00:49:12,600
Speaker 1: the hour, SI dot COM's Gary Gramling, who had some

908
00:49:12,719 --> 00:49:15,759
Speaker 1: interesting comments coming out of the bills big victory over

909
00:49:15,840 --> 00:49:18,480
Speaker 1: the Seattle Seahawks. We'll talk to him about that and

910
00:49:18,719 --> 00:49:22,800
Speaker 1: why he's so impressed with Brian Dable and Leslie Frazier

911
00:49:23,000 --> 00:49:25,919
Speaker 1: and the games they called last week. That's all coming

912
00:49:26,000 --> 00:49:28,320
Speaker 1: up next here on One Bill's Line, presented by Kalid

913
00:49:28,320 --> 00:49:38,480
Speaker 1: to Health. This is Buffalo Bill's Radio Balo Bill's Radio

914

Speaker 1: Network Sports Date, your sports update from One Bill's Drive.

915
00:49:43,520 --> 00:49:46,800
Speaker 1: Not Practicing with their teammates here for the Bills today

916
00:49:46,920 --> 00:49:49,880
Speaker 1: Cody Forde Trdavious White, both of whom left last week's

917
00:49:49,920 --> 00:49:53,680
Speaker 1: game with ankle injuries. Brian Winters and Taiwan Jones also

918
00:49:53,960 --> 00:49:57,719
Speaker 1: not participating in practice today. John Brown not seen during

919
00:49:57,760 --> 00:50:00,080
Speaker 1: the media viewing portion of practice. He's been dealing with

920
00:50:00,080 --> 00:50:04,600
Speaker 1: a nagging knee injury. Jerry Hughes getting a veteran's rest day.

921
00:50:05,040 --> 00:50:08,520
Speaker 1: Bill's quarterback Josh Allen this week's AFC Offensive Player of

922
00:50:08,560 --> 00:50:11,520
Speaker 1: the Week after his performance against the Seahawks. Allen completed

923
00:50:11,760 --> 00:50:13,919
Speaker 1: over eighty one percent of his passes for four hundred

924
00:50:13,920 --> 00:50:16,680
Speaker 1: and fifteen yards, throwing three touchdowns and rushing for another.

925
00:50:17,160 --> 00:50:19,520
Speaker 1: Alan earned the AFC Offensive Player of the Week award

926
00:50:19,560 --> 00:50:22,360
Speaker 1: earlier this season after a win in Week two against Miami.

927
00:50:22,400 --> 00:50:25,080
Speaker 1: He joins Jim Kelly and Thurman Thomas as the only

928
00:50:25,120 --> 00:50:28,240
Speaker 1: Bills to win this award more than once in a season.

929
00:50:28,400 --> 00:50:31,080
Speaker 1: It's the fourth time he's won the award in his career.

930
00:50:31,560 --> 00:50:34,960
Speaker 1: NFL owners unanimously approved a contingency plan to expand the

931
00:50:35,000 --> 00:50:38,120
Speaker 1: playoff field from fourteen to sixteen teams if meaningful games

932
00:50:38,200 --> 00:50:41,359
Speaker 1: cannot be played due to COVID nineteen. In the event

933
00:50:41,400 --> 00:50:43,359
Speaker 1: the league is forced to take such action, it will

934
00:50:43,440 --> 00:50:47,000
Speaker 1: not recede teams. According to Commissioner Roger Goodell, this proposed

935
00:50:47,000 --> 00:50:49,760
Speaker 1: scenario would only become a reality if the league cannot

936
00:50:49,800 --> 00:50:53,439
Speaker 1: first complete the meaningful games rescheduled in a possible Week

937
00:50:53,600 --> 00:50:57,200
Speaker 1: eighteen format. Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey looks like he

938
00:50:57,320 --> 00:51:00,759
Speaker 1: could be sidelined on Sunday. McCaffrey shoulder injury. It's keeping

939
00:51:00,840 --> 00:51:03,280
Speaker 1: him off the practice field today. His status for Sunday

940
00:51:03,360 --> 00:51:07,360
Speaker 1: now in doubt, according to Ian Rappaport of NFL Network,

941
00:51:07,600 --> 00:51:10,440
Speaker 1: and the Cleveland Browns officially activated Baker Mayfield from the

942
00:51:10,480 --> 00:51:13,680
Speaker 1: reserve COVID nineteen list. Mayfield was placed on the COVID

943
00:51:13,760 --> 00:51:16,400
Speaker 1: list on Saturday after he came in close contact with

944
00:51:16,440 --> 00:51:20,279
Speaker 1: a Brown staffer who tested positive. And the ub Bulls

945
00:51:20,280 --> 00:51:21,799
Speaker 1: pulled ahead in the second half to get a much

946
00:51:21,880 --> 00:51:24,560
Speaker 1: needed forty two to ten victory over the Miami RedHawks

947
00:51:24,640 --> 00:51:27,279
Speaker 1: Tuesday night. Miami kept the game close and trailed by

948
00:51:27,320 --> 00:51:29,520
Speaker 1: a touchdown going into halftime, but could only manage a

949
00:51:29,600 --> 00:51:33,120
Speaker 1: field goal in the final thirty minutes. And that is

950
00:51:33,120 --> 00:51:36,000
Speaker 1: your sports update from One Bill's Drive. Chris Brown and

951
00:51:36,160 --> 00:51:38,600
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker with you. Our number two of the program

952
00:51:39,000 --> 00:51:43,200
Speaker 1: and joining us now is SI dot COM's Gary Gramling, who,

953
00:51:43,680 --> 00:51:46,319
Speaker 1: in one of his columns this week, had some very

954
00:51:46,400 --> 00:51:50,560
Speaker 1: positive things to say Steve about these Buffalo Bills. I

955
00:51:50,640 --> 00:51:53,960
Speaker 1: believe it was his nine Takeaways column, and one of

956
00:51:54,000 --> 00:51:57,400
Speaker 1: the headlining notes in there was how Josh Allen flat

957
00:51:57,480 --> 00:52:01,640
Speaker 1: out out dueled Russell Wilson. And Gary, how are you doing?

958
00:52:01,719 --> 00:52:04,200
Speaker 1: Thanks for taking the time to join us today. Oh,

959
00:52:04,320 --> 00:52:07,279
Speaker 1: no problem, guys, glad to be here. So um, it

960
00:52:07,440 --> 00:52:09,680
Speaker 1: looked like you viewed the game a little bit closer

961
00:52:09,760 --> 00:52:13,120
Speaker 1: than maybe some other national pundits who I think, unfortunately

962
00:52:13,239 --> 00:52:16,040
Speaker 1: sometimes just look at some highlights and the final game

963
00:52:16,120 --> 00:52:19,520
Speaker 1: book and make suppositions. You actually saw that a lot

964
00:52:19,560 --> 00:52:23,000
Speaker 1: of Russell Wilson's yards came in garbage time on Sunday.

965
00:52:24,040 --> 00:52:25,960
Speaker 1: It was a lot of stat padding going on there

966
00:52:26,000 --> 00:52:28,920
Speaker 1: for Russell. And look, there are questions about this Bill's

967
00:52:28,960 --> 00:52:31,399
Speaker 1: defense right now. They were they were fantastic in this game.

968
00:52:31,760 --> 00:52:36,359
Speaker 1: They had the answers, these well timed blitzes. It sort

969
00:52:36,360 --> 00:52:38,160
Speaker 1: of dialloads up the right way. That seems to be

970
00:52:38,320 --> 00:52:40,759
Speaker 1: the way the teams are getting to Russell Wilson this year,

971
00:52:40,800 --> 00:52:44,040
Speaker 1: but this game was not close, and the quarterback play

972
00:52:44,200 --> 00:52:48,359
Speaker 1: was just an enormous difference on both sides of the ball. Yeah,

973
00:52:48,400 --> 00:52:51,200
Speaker 1: and you're right about Russell Wilson being the key for

974
00:52:51,320 --> 00:52:53,960
Speaker 1: the Seahawks going forward. Their defense is struggling. They can't

975
00:52:53,960 --> 00:52:57,080
Speaker 1: play man. They're struggling in zone, even their pass rush,

976
00:52:57,120 --> 00:52:59,239
Speaker 1: their run defense. They you know, they thought they were

977
00:52:59,280 --> 00:53:01,400
Speaker 1: gonna have to defend run against the Buffalo Bills and

978
00:53:01,719 --> 00:53:05,680
Speaker 1: it never even got to that point. How bad would

979
00:53:05,680 --> 00:53:09,959
Speaker 1: the Seahawks be without Russell Wilson is their quarterback? Oh boy,

980
00:53:10,560 --> 00:53:12,719
Speaker 1: they'd they'd be battling with the Jets. They'd be in

981
00:53:12,719 --> 00:53:15,080
Speaker 1: the Trevor Lawrence sweep stakes here. I don't know who

982
00:53:15,120 --> 00:53:18,440
Speaker 1: the replacement quarterback would be, but I mean, you're seeing

983
00:53:18,560 --> 00:53:22,680
Speaker 1: what happens to them defensively. It's just it's almost like

984
00:53:23,040 --> 00:53:25,520
Speaker 1: this is the on our podcast, this is what I

985
00:53:25,600 --> 00:53:28,320
Speaker 1: had had said after this game. It's almost like the

986
00:53:28,440 --> 00:53:31,600
Speaker 1: Madden player who's just mashing the blitz button on every

987
00:53:31,719 --> 00:53:34,280
Speaker 1: play and just sending everyone that's like their only option

988
00:53:34,400 --> 00:53:37,160
Speaker 1: right now defensively to try and generate any pressure. Carlos

989
00:53:37,239 --> 00:53:39,200
Speaker 1: Dulnop showed up a little bit, but you know, I

990
00:53:39,280 --> 00:53:41,719
Speaker 1: don't know if he's really a difference maker down the

991
00:53:41,760 --> 00:53:45,160
Speaker 1: strutt with them. Jamal Adams go, you can blitz with him.

992
00:53:45,239 --> 00:53:46,880
Speaker 1: He doesn't cover very well right now. I don't know

993
00:53:46,880 --> 00:53:48,840
Speaker 1: if he's still a little bit banged up with the

994
00:53:48,920 --> 00:53:51,239
Speaker 1: knee or what. But they just don't have answers on

995
00:53:51,320 --> 00:53:55,480
Speaker 1: that defense right now. I noticed, Gary that you referenced

996
00:53:55,520 --> 00:53:58,480
Speaker 1: in talking about Leslie Fraser and McDermott and your column

997
00:53:58,560 --> 00:54:04,040
Speaker 1: you reference Vans Joseph and how Arizona had some keenly

998
00:54:04,160 --> 00:54:08,560
Speaker 1: timed blitzes on Russell Wilson as well. Um. I don't

999
00:54:08,600 --> 00:54:10,759
Speaker 1: know how much Arizona you've watched over the course of

1000
00:54:10,800 --> 00:54:13,040
Speaker 1: the season, but that's obviously the Bill's next opponent coming

1001
00:54:13,120 --> 00:54:15,839
Speaker 1: up here on Sunday. Do you know if that's been

1002
00:54:15,920 --> 00:54:18,920
Speaker 1: there MO every week or was that more game game

1003
00:54:19,000 --> 00:54:22,920
Speaker 1: plan specific against the Seahawks. It's becoming their EMO now

1004
00:54:22,960 --> 00:54:24,920
Speaker 1: that Chandler Jones is out and they really don't have

1005
00:54:25,000 --> 00:54:27,120
Speaker 1: an option to just go with a fore man pass rush.

1006
00:54:27,200 --> 00:54:29,960
Speaker 1: They have become more blitz happy. That is what they did.

1007
00:54:30,200 --> 00:54:32,440
Speaker 1: They made an adjustment at halftime when they played Seattle

1008
00:54:32,640 --> 00:54:34,959
Speaker 1: to really start getting after Russell with the blitz because

1009
00:54:34,960 --> 00:54:37,520
Speaker 1: they were just not getting anywhere near him with that

1010
00:54:37,640 --> 00:54:40,080
Speaker 1: for man pass rush previously. That and it worked and

1011
00:54:40,160 --> 00:54:42,640
Speaker 1: they dial it upright and uh and Russell was frazzled

1012
00:54:42,680 --> 00:54:45,920
Speaker 1: in that game, just like he was at at It's

1013
00:54:45,960 --> 00:54:49,680
Speaker 1: not Ralpholes anymore, it's a new Ara Stadium on Sunday

1014
00:54:49,719 --> 00:54:52,000
Speaker 1: this week. But yeah, they're gonna dial up the blitz

1015
00:54:52,080 --> 00:54:54,520
Speaker 1: that that's the only way they can really create pressure

1016
00:54:54,560 --> 00:54:56,799
Speaker 1: there for the Cardinals right now. And they have they

1017
00:54:56,880 --> 00:54:58,759
Speaker 1: have a lot of similar weaknesses to what you saw

1018
00:54:58,840 --> 00:55:00,840
Speaker 1: with Seattle. That they have guy who are kind of

1019
00:55:00,920 --> 00:55:03,640
Speaker 1: banged up in the in the secondary, Great Kirkpatrick, who

1020
00:55:03,880 --> 00:55:05,600
Speaker 1: you know, we'll see what his status is this week,

1021
00:55:05,640 --> 00:55:08,719
Speaker 1: but he has been moving around very well recently. And

1022
00:55:08,800 --> 00:55:10,360
Speaker 1: they just don't have a whole lot of depth at

1023
00:55:10,400 --> 00:55:13,560
Speaker 1: cornerback right now. Well, given the fact that the Seattle's

1024
00:55:13,640 --> 00:55:16,279
Speaker 1: defense has struggled so badly, does it say anything And

1025
00:55:16,320 --> 00:55:19,359
Speaker 1: that Josh Allen was the AFC Offensive Player of the Week.

1026
00:55:19,400 --> 00:55:22,160
Speaker 1: I mean, I get it, it's a it's a great honor,

1027
00:55:22,280 --> 00:55:26,120
Speaker 1: but how many more AFC teams do the Seahawks play

1028
00:55:26,200 --> 00:55:29,239
Speaker 1: that their quarterback won't be the exact same guy going

1029
00:55:29,280 --> 00:55:32,840
Speaker 1: out and throwing having a career day. You know you

1030
00:55:32,920 --> 00:55:37,600
Speaker 1: can say that, but look everyone and you guys hear

1031
00:55:37,600 --> 00:55:40,800
Speaker 1: from the national pundits all the time. Everyone is ready

1032
00:55:40,920 --> 00:55:43,680
Speaker 1: to to trash Josh Allen. Everyone's ready to move on.

1033
00:55:43,760 --> 00:55:46,000
Speaker 1: Everyone's just ready to say that this first month of

1034
00:55:46,040 --> 00:55:48,359
Speaker 1: the season was a fluke for him to be able

1035
00:55:48,360 --> 00:55:51,600
Speaker 1: to go out there. And uh, part of it is, yes,

1036
00:55:51,719 --> 00:55:53,520
Speaker 1: we're the throw is easy, but part of it is

1037
00:55:53,560 --> 00:55:55,279
Speaker 1: the way you have to defend Josh Allen. I mean,

1038
00:55:55,320 --> 00:55:57,520
Speaker 1: there's going to be space out there. He puts such

1039
00:55:58,080 --> 00:56:01,640
Speaker 1: vertical and horizontal stress an opposing defense, there are going

1040
00:56:01,680 --> 00:56:05,319
Speaker 1: to be open throws. Can he deliver those throws? Yes?

1041
00:56:05,480 --> 00:56:08,320
Speaker 1: On Sunday he could and yes, idea, you know, conditions

1042
00:56:08,320 --> 00:56:10,400
Speaker 1: were ideal. The defense on the other side of the

1043
00:56:10,440 --> 00:56:13,920
Speaker 1: ball was bad, But this is I'm not sure you

1044
00:56:14,000 --> 00:56:15,839
Speaker 1: can ask for a whole lot else from Josh Allen

1045
00:56:15,880 --> 00:56:18,360
Speaker 1: in the game, in the game like this, flipping it

1046
00:56:18,440 --> 00:56:22,640
Speaker 1: around to their their opponent again on Sunday in Arizona.

1047
00:56:22,719 --> 00:56:26,680
Speaker 1: I know you mentioned that Kyler Murray, you know, despite

1048
00:56:26,719 --> 00:56:30,160
Speaker 1: all the things that he does, well you quoted it well,

1049
00:56:30,239 --> 00:56:34,480
Speaker 1: you described it as missing layups. What was it about

1050
00:56:34,600 --> 00:56:37,239
Speaker 1: his game that just seemed off to you? Last week

1051
00:56:37,320 --> 00:56:39,800
Speaker 1: against Miami in what wound up being, you know, a

1052
00:56:39,880 --> 00:56:43,200
Speaker 1: last second defeat. He was good in this head. I

1053
00:56:43,320 --> 00:56:44,839
Speaker 1: really thought it was his best game of the year

1054
00:56:44,920 --> 00:56:47,640
Speaker 1: so far. He did miss a throw to the flat

1055
00:56:47,760 --> 00:56:50,239
Speaker 1: late that ended up that they ended up not going

1056
00:56:50,320 --> 00:56:51,920
Speaker 1: for it on fourth and one. That's a whole other

1057
00:56:52,000 --> 00:56:55,120
Speaker 1: conversation to have about Cliff Kingsbury's game management at this point.

1058
00:56:55,160 --> 00:56:57,040
Speaker 1: But h and they missed the field though they end

1059
00:56:57,120 --> 00:57:01,160
Speaker 1: up losing the game. Kyler's issue and honestly, they're nothing

1060
00:57:01,360 --> 00:57:03,799
Speaker 1: like each other as far as the physical stature goes.

1061
00:57:03,880 --> 00:57:07,520
Speaker 1: But Kyler and Josh Allen year two very similar in

1062
00:57:07,640 --> 00:57:10,279
Speaker 1: that they miss a lot of throws on the intermediate

1063
00:57:10,360 --> 00:57:13,120
Speaker 1: and deep intermediate levels. I think Kyler's a little bit

1064
00:57:13,160 --> 00:57:15,840
Speaker 1: better maybe throwing it over the top, but he is.

1065
00:57:16,560 --> 00:57:19,200
Speaker 1: He is a ratic at the intermediate levels, and that's

1066
00:57:19,240 --> 00:57:21,600
Speaker 1: something that we've seen for a season and a half now.

1067
00:57:21,680 --> 00:57:23,960
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's going to necessarily get better immediately.

1068
00:57:24,160 --> 00:57:26,760
Speaker 1: He was better with that against Miami, I'll say that.

1069
00:57:26,960 --> 00:57:30,640
Speaker 1: But ultimately, the one thing I wonder about the Cardinals

1070
00:57:30,720 --> 00:57:34,200
Speaker 1: offense is they don't seem to provide a whole lot

1071
00:57:34,240 --> 00:57:36,720
Speaker 1: of answers for Kyler Murray. I think it's more vice versa.

1072
00:57:36,840 --> 00:57:39,920
Speaker 1: Kyler is sort of providing the answers for this offense,

1073
00:57:40,040 --> 00:57:41,760
Speaker 1: and a lot of it's with his legs, and I

1074
00:57:41,800 --> 00:57:43,800
Speaker 1: don't know if that's long term sustainable. I know it's

1075
00:57:43,880 --> 00:57:46,080
Speaker 1: really difficult to prepare for in a week to week

1076
00:57:46,120 --> 00:57:48,760
Speaker 1: basis though, Yeah, because he ran for over one hundred

1077
00:57:48,800 --> 00:57:51,840
Speaker 1: yards last week, and I mean that's answers right there.

1078
00:57:53,160 --> 00:57:55,400
Speaker 1: But it just seems like I don't know, I've only

1079
00:57:55,440 --> 00:57:58,560
Speaker 1: watched it from afar. I haven't really dialed in on this,

1080
00:57:58,840 --> 00:58:00,920
Speaker 1: you know, in terms again for these guys. I will

1081
00:58:00,960 --> 00:58:04,000
Speaker 1: in the next couple of days. But is it largely

1082
00:58:04,360 --> 00:58:07,440
Speaker 1: a one read offense and it's first raid if nothing's there,

1083
00:58:07,680 --> 00:58:09,440
Speaker 1: run around and make something happen or is it a

1084
00:58:09,520 --> 00:58:11,720
Speaker 1: little bit am I am I not giving the offense

1085
00:58:11,840 --> 00:58:15,080
Speaker 1: enough credit there? We're probably not a look I am,

1086
00:58:15,400 --> 00:58:17,320
Speaker 1: I am not bullish on this offense, and I'll probably

1087
00:58:17,360 --> 00:58:19,600
Speaker 1: eat my words at some point because Cliff Kingsbury will

1088
00:58:19,640 --> 00:58:21,720
Speaker 1: probably come up with something better down the line here.

1089
00:58:21,760 --> 00:58:25,280
Speaker 1: But it's it's quick strike they occasionally dial up these

1090
00:58:25,560 --> 00:58:27,680
Speaker 1: designer shots. You're seeing one right there to Christian Kirk

1091
00:58:27,720 --> 00:58:29,640
Speaker 1: that was a nice design. But for the most part,

1092
00:58:29,680 --> 00:58:31,640
Speaker 1: it's it's quick strike and if they can't get the

1093
00:58:31,680 --> 00:58:35,040
Speaker 1: ball out early, it's it's Kyler running around. And look, Kyler.

1094
00:58:35,640 --> 00:58:38,120
Speaker 1: I thought last year he had trouble adjusting to the

1095
00:58:38,160 --> 00:58:41,200
Speaker 1: speed of opposing defenders. This year it's totally different. This

1096
00:58:41,320 --> 00:58:43,280
Speaker 1: year he is he is much better with the ball

1097
00:58:43,360 --> 00:58:45,520
Speaker 1: in his hands as far as what he's doing as

1098
00:58:45,520 --> 00:58:49,360
Speaker 1: a scrambler. But again, there's just you watch this offense.

1099
00:58:49,560 --> 00:58:52,000
Speaker 1: There's just not a whole lot of easy throws where

1100
00:58:52,040 --> 00:58:55,640
Speaker 1: you'd say, boy, what a nice design, What a nice

1101
00:58:55,720 --> 00:58:57,640
Speaker 1: offense for a young quarterback to be playing in. It

1102
00:58:57,720 --> 00:59:00,480
Speaker 1: just seems like he's having to create a lot out

1103
00:59:00,520 --> 00:59:03,920
Speaker 1: of nothing. At this point. You've been complimentary of Sean McDermot,

1104
00:59:04,080 --> 00:59:06,600
Speaker 1: Leslie Fraser and the buttons they've pushed against in calling

1105
00:59:06,680 --> 00:59:10,240
Speaker 1: up defenses and dialing up blitzes. What kind of buttons

1106
00:59:10,280 --> 00:59:13,480
Speaker 1: will those two have to push against this entire offense

1107
00:59:13,600 --> 00:59:17,040
Speaker 1: the Arizona brings to the table, boy he I don't know.

1108
00:59:18,000 --> 00:59:19,920
Speaker 1: You want to get after Kyler, you want to blitz him?

1109
00:59:19,920 --> 00:59:23,080
Speaker 1: A little bit especially. I mean, look outside of Jerry Hughes,

1110
00:59:23,120 --> 00:59:25,120
Speaker 1: I don't know if there's been a whole lot of

1111
00:59:25,200 --> 00:59:28,520
Speaker 1: huge impact stuff coming out of this pass rush outside

1112
00:59:28,520 --> 00:59:34,040
Speaker 1: the blitz. The sense I got a little bit. The

1113
00:59:34,120 --> 00:59:36,640
Speaker 1: way they sort of contain Russell Wilson is it was

1114
00:59:36,680 --> 00:59:38,480
Speaker 1: almost and I don't know if this was by design

1115
00:59:38,560 --> 00:59:40,600
Speaker 1: or just guys not getting home, it's almost like you

1116
00:59:40,680 --> 00:59:42,920
Speaker 1: had the blitzer going after Russell and you had almost

1117
00:59:42,960 --> 00:59:46,120
Speaker 1: like a mushrush type situation with the rest of the

1118
00:59:46,200 --> 00:59:49,760
Speaker 1: line on some of these plays. Maybe that's how you

1119
00:59:49,840 --> 00:59:52,120
Speaker 1: go after Kyler. Kyler is I mean, look, he is

1120
00:59:52,160 --> 00:59:54,080
Speaker 1: much more dangerous with his legs at this point than

1121
00:59:54,200 --> 00:59:57,520
Speaker 1: Russell is. I mean, you know, plays were Russell's maybe

1122
00:59:57,600 --> 01:00:00,959
Speaker 1: gonna scramble for seven or eight yards. Kyler is gonna

1123
01:00:00,960 --> 01:00:03,440
Speaker 1: get to twenty twenty five on you. So that's what

1124
01:00:03,520 --> 01:00:05,320
Speaker 1: they're gonna need to be ready for. And you know,

1125
01:00:05,840 --> 01:00:08,720
Speaker 1: Matt Mlano if he's uh, if he's not in the lineup,

1126
01:00:08,920 --> 01:00:11,320
Speaker 1: we'll see what they're gonna do here schematically, because you're

1127
01:00:11,360 --> 01:00:13,440
Speaker 1: gonna have to scheme up some stuff to to to

1128
01:00:14,160 --> 01:00:17,040
Speaker 1: counter Kyler and his ability to make plays with his legs.

1129
01:00:17,600 --> 01:00:20,360
Speaker 1: Talking to SI dot COM's Gary Grambling here, who you

1130
01:00:20,400 --> 01:00:25,800
Speaker 1: can find on Twitter at Gee Grambling Underscore SI And uh, Gary,

1131
01:00:25,800 --> 01:00:27,680
Speaker 1: I know you had some favorable comments as well for

1132
01:00:27,800 --> 01:00:31,440
Speaker 1: coach Dabel, who has done a masterful job in you know,

1133
01:00:31,560 --> 01:00:34,320
Speaker 1: developing Josh Allen here. But I know the third and

1134
01:00:34,440 --> 01:00:37,640
Speaker 1: sixteen play was one of your favorites that you know,

1135
01:00:37,720 --> 01:00:39,920
Speaker 1: they called the slip screen to the receiver there to

1136
01:00:40,040 --> 01:00:43,120
Speaker 1: John Brown and he almost goes in for a touchdown. Yeah,

1137
01:00:43,160 --> 01:00:44,960
Speaker 1: I mean we were kind of waiting for it, right Uh.

1138
01:00:45,280 --> 01:00:48,160
Speaker 1: Seahawks just kept sending more and more and and uh

1139
01:00:48,320 --> 01:00:49,840
Speaker 1: at some point they were gonna get burned by it,

1140
01:00:49,960 --> 01:00:52,560
Speaker 1: and Davil just just dial it up at the right time.

1141
01:00:52,600 --> 01:00:54,840
Speaker 1: And look, Daviel's been great with this. Uh. And I

1142
01:00:54,920 --> 01:00:56,640
Speaker 1: know a lot of people out there want to want

1143
01:00:56,640 --> 01:00:58,400
Speaker 1: to sort of say, well, you know, what's Josh Allen

1144
01:00:58,480 --> 01:01:01,000
Speaker 1: gonna be if Brian Dabele gets ahead coaching job going forward.

1145
01:01:01,200 --> 01:01:04,840
Speaker 1: But like I said, the stress that Josh Allen puts

1146
01:01:04,880 --> 01:01:07,560
Speaker 1: on an opposing defense, both what they have to defend

1147
01:01:07,840 --> 01:01:11,720
Speaker 1: vertically and horizontally on the field at all times, that's

1148
01:01:11,760 --> 01:01:14,800
Speaker 1: not going away. There's always going to be open spaces

1149
01:01:14,880 --> 01:01:18,600
Speaker 1: when Josh Allen eas your quarterback, Yeah, and I agree.

1150
01:01:18,640 --> 01:01:21,920
Speaker 1: But these two quarterbacks, and it's the most interesting matchup

1151
01:01:21,960 --> 01:01:24,720
Speaker 1: between two quarterbacks because they could not be more physically different.

1152
01:01:24,840 --> 01:01:28,160
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray is five to nine buck ninety or whatever

1153
01:01:28,200 --> 01:01:31,360
Speaker 1: it is he is, and Josh Allen's this tall, statuesque

1154
01:01:31,360 --> 01:01:34,240
Speaker 1: oak tree. But both of them put the same kind

1155
01:01:34,320 --> 01:01:42,040
Speaker 1: of pressure on defenses. Compare the defenses of these two teams.

1156
01:01:42,080 --> 01:01:43,920
Speaker 1: I mean, we know a lot about Buffalo's. They put

1157
01:01:43,960 --> 01:01:46,200
Speaker 1: together a very nice performance last week. They got the

1158
01:01:46,280 --> 01:01:50,880
Speaker 1: four turnovers. What has driven the Arizona defense, particularly without

1159
01:01:50,960 --> 01:01:54,040
Speaker 1: Chandler Jones in the lineup. Yeah, I mean, look, it's

1160
01:01:54,080 --> 01:01:57,560
Speaker 1: been the Blitz. They've been hanging on just barely quite Frankly,

1161
01:01:57,600 --> 01:01:59,880
Speaker 1: I do wonder if they were getting Seattle this week

1162
01:02:00,160 --> 01:02:02,480
Speaker 1: or next week or something like that, once they put

1163
01:02:02,520 --> 01:02:04,640
Speaker 1: some stuff on tape without Chandler Jones, I do wonder

1164
01:02:04,640 --> 01:02:06,080
Speaker 1: if the Seahawks would have just gone out there and

1165
01:02:06,200 --> 01:02:08,000
Speaker 1: rolled up forty something points and and sort of won

1166
01:02:08,160 --> 01:02:11,360
Speaker 1: that game going away. But uh, it's an opportunistic defense

1167
01:02:11,600 --> 01:02:12,960
Speaker 1: they have to be at this point because I just

1168
01:02:13,080 --> 01:02:16,040
Speaker 1: don't think they're going to stop people from down to

1169
01:02:16,120 --> 01:02:18,960
Speaker 1: down and you saw a tongue of Violoa did to

1170
01:02:19,120 --> 01:02:22,760
Speaker 1: him last week. I mean two have had issues managing

1171
01:02:22,800 --> 01:02:25,240
Speaker 1: the pocket against the Rams, where you get a lot

1172
01:02:25,280 --> 01:02:27,280
Speaker 1: of interior pressure. You just don't really get that from

1173
01:02:27,320 --> 01:02:29,480
Speaker 1: the Cardinals. Cardinals have to dial up blitzes, and if

1174
01:02:29,480 --> 01:02:31,600
Speaker 1: you can manage those blitzes, if you can see them

1175
01:02:31,680 --> 01:02:34,640
Speaker 1: coming before the snap, uh, they are very beatable. Because

1176
01:02:34,640 --> 01:02:37,960
Speaker 1: again Patrick Peterson is having I don't want to say

1177
01:02:37,960 --> 01:02:40,000
Speaker 1: it's quite a bounce back. He's been better than he

1178
01:02:40,120 --> 01:02:41,760
Speaker 1: was a year ago. He's not quite back at the

1179
01:02:41,840 --> 01:02:43,680
Speaker 1: level he was a few years ago. I think Byron

1180
01:02:43,800 --> 01:02:46,680
Speaker 1: Murphy's a pretty good young player. But uh, there's just

1181
01:02:46,800 --> 01:02:50,200
Speaker 1: not a ton of depth there in that secondary and

1182
01:02:50,280 --> 01:02:53,440
Speaker 1: the fact that they send Buddha Baker on blitzes so often,

1183
01:02:53,840 --> 01:02:56,120
Speaker 1: they usually they're usually man shot back there. And I

1184
01:02:56,200 --> 01:02:58,800
Speaker 1: don't think if we're talking about this week specifically, I

1185
01:02:58,800 --> 01:03:00,800
Speaker 1: don't think they match up very well with these Bills receiver.

1186
01:03:01,160 --> 01:03:02,920
Speaker 1: We'll see if Smoke Brown makes it out there or not,

1187
01:03:03,160 --> 01:03:06,560
Speaker 1: but I'm not sure they have you know, they have

1188
01:03:06,600 --> 01:03:08,320
Speaker 1: the type of personnel to have an answer for uh,

1189
01:03:08,880 --> 01:03:12,160
Speaker 1: for both Stefan digs and Cole Beasley in a game, Gary,

1190
01:03:12,200 --> 01:03:14,680
Speaker 1: I mentioned Tua and I know you were just talking

1191
01:03:14,720 --> 01:03:16,960
Speaker 1: to us about how Kyler Murray doesn't have a lot

1192
01:03:17,000 --> 01:03:20,600
Speaker 1: of easy throws built into his offensive system. It's like

1193
01:03:20,680 --> 01:03:22,840
Speaker 1: a complete one eighty with the Dolphins. I mean, chan

1194
01:03:22,920 --> 01:03:26,680
Speaker 1: Gailey seems to have not only simplified the scheme for Tua,

1195
01:03:27,080 --> 01:03:29,240
Speaker 1: but I mean, you want to talk about easy throws,

1196
01:03:29,400 --> 01:03:31,720
Speaker 1: three steps, put your foot in the ground, throw the football.

1197
01:03:32,040 --> 01:03:33,800
Speaker 1: I mean, it seems to be pretty prevalent in that

1198
01:03:33,920 --> 01:03:36,800
Speaker 1: Dolphins offense, doesn't it. Yeah, it does it, And it

1199
01:03:36,880 --> 01:03:39,200
Speaker 1: seems like I mean, look, it's a young quarterback. You

1200
01:03:39,280 --> 01:03:41,160
Speaker 1: got to coach him up here, and it looks like

1201
01:03:41,240 --> 01:03:43,760
Speaker 1: they're they're reading the mail pretty well before the snap,

1202
01:03:43,840 --> 01:03:45,560
Speaker 1: or at least they did in this Arizona game. Again,

1203
01:03:45,840 --> 01:03:48,040
Speaker 1: Ta was shaking in that Rams game, and I think

1204
01:03:48,120 --> 01:03:51,959
Speaker 1: Dolphins fans were light. We're right to be a little

1205
01:03:51,960 --> 01:03:54,560
Speaker 1: bit nervous about him going forward, but that's what we've

1206
01:03:54,560 --> 01:03:56,080
Speaker 1: just seeing. I mean, chan Gailey, the fact that Chan

1207
01:03:56,120 --> 01:03:59,360
Speaker 1: Gailey is back and doing it again is is is

1208
01:03:59,400 --> 01:04:02,720
Speaker 1: a test sort of is his timeless approach to offensive

1209
01:04:02,720 --> 01:04:05,440
Speaker 1: football here? But absolutely, I mean it was night and

1210
01:04:05,520 --> 01:04:08,080
Speaker 1: day for two between Game one and Game two. For him,

1211
01:04:08,600 --> 01:04:12,040
Speaker 1: the throws are there. And again the defense they were

1212
01:04:12,120 --> 01:04:16,720
Speaker 1: facing in Arizona, it's just not a very good defense. Yeah.

1213
01:04:16,880 --> 01:04:19,200
Speaker 1: And one of the other teams that is a future

1214
01:04:19,360 --> 01:04:21,760
Speaker 1: opponent of the Buffalo Bills is the Pittsburgh Steelers. What

1215
01:04:22,800 --> 01:04:27,320
Speaker 1: what what's their identity offensively? What do they want to be? Look,

1216
01:04:27,480 --> 01:04:30,760
Speaker 1: they are doing stuff offensively. I mean you you almost

1217
01:04:30,760 --> 01:04:32,240
Speaker 1: have to go back to look at the Cordell Steward

1218
01:04:32,320 --> 01:04:34,800
Speaker 1: days to find when they weren't just a team that

1219
01:04:34,920 --> 01:04:37,040
Speaker 1: just you know, dropped back and run a bunch of

1220
01:04:37,120 --> 01:04:40,600
Speaker 1: ISO routes and just assume your all world quarterback is

1221
01:04:40,640 --> 01:04:42,280
Speaker 1: going to throw to one of your all world receivers

1222
01:04:42,320 --> 01:04:44,160
Speaker 1: and it's just gonna work. Help out this way, there's

1223
01:04:44,160 --> 01:04:46,000
Speaker 1: a lot more motion this offense. It's a lot more

1224
01:04:46,080 --> 01:04:49,280
Speaker 1: horrizato excusing horizontal and it's been in the past. Uh.

1225
01:04:49,480 --> 01:04:51,680
Speaker 1: The one thing I'll say about the team, and look,

1226
01:04:51,920 --> 01:04:53,400
Speaker 1: they're eight no. I know a lot of people are

1227
01:04:53,440 --> 01:04:55,880
Speaker 1: saying it's sort of a fraudulent eight no. And I

1228
01:04:56,040 --> 01:04:58,960
Speaker 1: think to an extent that's true. I think there's room

1229
01:04:59,000 --> 01:05:02,000
Speaker 1: for growth in this offense. Uh, there's a downfield element

1230
01:05:02,160 --> 01:05:05,320
Speaker 1: that is missing right now, but I don't think it's

1231
01:05:05,440 --> 01:05:08,160
Speaker 1: that far away. Uh. They were really close in a

1232
01:05:08,160 --> 01:05:10,280
Speaker 1: couple of shots in that in that Dallas game, and

1233
01:05:10,320 --> 01:05:11,920
Speaker 1: I know that game was was ugly that it was

1234
01:05:12,000 --> 01:05:14,640
Speaker 1: even close, but there were a couple of shots away

1235
01:05:14,720 --> 01:05:16,680
Speaker 1: from from breaking a couple of plays in the first half.

1236
01:05:16,760 --> 01:05:19,080
Speaker 1: And if that happens, then you know, if they're up

1237
01:05:19,120 --> 01:05:21,640
Speaker 1: two touchdowns at half time, we're probably not that worried

1238
01:05:21,640 --> 01:05:24,880
Speaker 1: about the Steelers offense going forward. But I think that

1239
01:05:25,000 --> 01:05:27,080
Speaker 1: stuff will come in the second half. So even though

1240
01:05:27,160 --> 01:05:29,960
Speaker 1: we're looking at it now and saying, okay, eight, no,

1241
01:05:30,200 --> 01:05:32,960
Speaker 1: it's it's not a legitimate eight. No. Uh, I think

1242
01:05:33,000 --> 01:05:34,560
Speaker 1: the team's going to be better in the second half,

1243
01:05:34,600 --> 01:05:37,040
Speaker 1: and we're we're gonna see them sort of rise to

1244
01:05:37,160 --> 01:05:39,960
Speaker 1: that status where we're there there with the with the Chiefs,

1245
01:05:40,080 --> 01:05:42,360
Speaker 1: with the uh. You know that that second year is

1246
01:05:42,360 --> 01:05:46,080
Speaker 1: probably the Bills, the Ravens. Uh. I know I'm forgetting someone,

1247
01:05:46,120 --> 01:05:48,920
Speaker 1: but I would put the Colts up there. Maybe. I

1248
01:05:49,000 --> 01:05:50,600
Speaker 1: think I think the Steeler is gonna be right there

1249
01:05:50,640 --> 01:05:52,800
Speaker 1: battling for that sort of one A in the AFC.

1250
01:05:53,960 --> 01:05:57,320
Speaker 1: And then Gary, Uh, I know you wrote justin Herbert

1251
01:05:57,400 --> 01:05:59,520
Speaker 1: in your mind, is the greatest one in six quarterback

1252
01:05:59,560 --> 01:06:03,120
Speaker 1: that's ever lived. Can you just elaborate on that for us, please?

1253
01:06:03,160 --> 01:06:04,920
Speaker 1: I mean, we like what we've seen from him naturally,

1254
01:06:04,960 --> 01:06:06,920
Speaker 1: I mean, four three hundred yard passing games in his

1255
01:06:07,000 --> 01:06:10,000
Speaker 1: first six or seven starts. That's unbelievable. But why the

1256
01:06:10,120 --> 01:06:14,160
Speaker 1: greatest that's ever lived. I mean, look, it's not only

1257
01:06:14,160 --> 01:06:17,640
Speaker 1: the numbers, it's the high degree of difficulty. They are

1258
01:06:17,720 --> 01:06:20,320
Speaker 1: not they are not empty calories that he is he

1259
01:06:20,480 --> 01:06:23,000
Speaker 1: is racking up at this point. Uh, it's just I

1260
01:06:23,080 --> 01:06:25,640
Speaker 1: don't know what goes on with this franchise with the Chargers.

1261
01:06:25,720 --> 01:06:29,680
Speaker 1: It's been across coaching regimes now, it's across quarterbacks now.

1262
01:06:30,480 --> 01:06:33,680
Speaker 1: They just figure out ways to lose games that I

1263
01:06:33,840 --> 01:06:35,880
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know how it can be sustained

1264
01:06:35,920 --> 01:06:37,960
Speaker 1: at this point. And you just look at it and say,

1265
01:06:38,400 --> 01:06:41,520
Speaker 1: I mean, they're they're literally three or four plays away

1266
01:06:41,640 --> 01:06:43,960
Speaker 1: from being uh right there where the Raiders are. I

1267
01:06:44,160 --> 01:06:45,720
Speaker 1: think they're better than the Raiders. I know, they just

1268
01:06:45,800 --> 01:06:48,560
Speaker 1: got beat by them in a game where they outgained

1269
01:06:48,560 --> 01:06:50,960
Speaker 1: the Raiders by one hundred and twenty yards, and uh,

1270
01:06:51,120 --> 01:06:53,960
Speaker 1: it just it's really difficult to figure out how this

1271
01:06:54,160 --> 01:06:58,080
Speaker 1: keeps on happening to the LA or slash San Diego

1272
01:06:58,200 --> 01:07:00,800
Speaker 1: Chargers at this point, Yeah, and the and the LA

1273
01:07:00,960 --> 01:07:06,080
Speaker 1: Chargers without Philip Rivers. This year he's in Indianapolis. What

1274
01:07:06,200 --> 01:07:09,439
Speaker 1: did you make of Philip Rivers trying to stave off

1275
01:07:09,520 --> 01:07:15,360
Speaker 1: of fumble scoop and score tackle attempt on against the

1276
01:07:15,440 --> 01:07:19,600
Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens. That that's fundamentally said. That's how you break

1277
01:07:19,680 --> 01:07:21,360
Speaker 1: down in space and make it. I mean, you know

1278
01:07:21,440 --> 01:07:24,560
Speaker 1: that tasker, you know punt returner Camrady, that's a that's

1279
01:07:24,560 --> 01:07:28,040
Speaker 1: what you gotta do here. Honestly, I give him a

1280
01:07:28,120 --> 01:07:30,160
Speaker 1: little bit of credit for the fact that he's still uh.

1281
01:07:30,640 --> 01:07:31,880
Speaker 1: I mean, look as he makes a little bit of

1282
01:07:31,960 --> 01:07:33,640
Speaker 1: effort at the end once he once he's flat on

1283
01:07:33,720 --> 01:07:35,720
Speaker 1: his back, you wave your arms a little bit. You're

1284
01:07:35,760 --> 01:07:38,320
Speaker 1: doing all you can at that point. So, uh, there's

1285
01:07:38,320 --> 01:07:41,240
Speaker 1: some work to be done, Philip Rivers. Uh is he

1286
01:07:41,320 --> 01:07:44,000
Speaker 1: gonna Are you gonna line up up alongside Darius Leonard

1287
01:07:44,080 --> 01:07:46,160
Speaker 1: later the season? I don't know, we'll see. Maybe maybe

1288
01:07:46,160 --> 01:07:48,040
Speaker 1: he's got a will work to you there a linebacker. Well,

1289
01:07:48,080 --> 01:07:52,080
Speaker 1: that last little test does any less. I'll just say

1290
01:07:52,520 --> 01:07:54,919
Speaker 1: I'll just say this the last effort he made look

1291
01:07:54,960 --> 01:08:03,280
Speaker 1: like somebody defibrillated him. Wow, that's a great call right there.

1292
01:08:03,360 --> 01:08:06,120
Speaker 1: And then I mean look for Philip Rivers. They don't

1293
01:08:06,120 --> 01:08:09,360
Speaker 1: pay him to make tackles, Yeah, they don't. Gary, Listen,

1294
01:08:09,400 --> 01:08:11,520
Speaker 1: we appreciate the time and the inside and kind of

1295
01:08:11,560 --> 01:08:14,040
Speaker 1: spinning us around the league a little bit. We'll keep

1296
01:08:14,080 --> 01:08:16,719
Speaker 1: looking at your stuff at SI dot com. We appreciate

1297
01:08:16,800 --> 01:08:18,960
Speaker 1: the time. You've got a guys, thanks for riving. Thanks

1298
01:08:18,960 --> 01:08:21,880
Speaker 1: all right. That's Gary Grambling from SI dot com does

1299
01:08:21,880 --> 01:08:23,479
Speaker 1: a good job of kind of giving you the full

1300
01:08:23,560 --> 01:08:25,759
Speaker 1: landscape of the league. You know, you can't watch sixteen

1301
01:08:25,880 --> 01:08:28,640
Speaker 1: games a week, so he does a good job of

1302
01:08:28,760 --> 01:08:30,880
Speaker 1: kind of spinning year round the league and giving your

1303
01:08:30,920 --> 01:08:32,599
Speaker 1: feel for things. And you've got a sense of it there.

1304
01:08:32,600 --> 01:08:33,960
Speaker 1: He's got a great sense of humor too, and it

1305
01:08:34,000 --> 01:08:36,679
Speaker 1: comes through in his writing. Yeah, and you can find

1306
01:08:36,880 --> 01:08:40,240
Speaker 1: him I want to at G Gramling g R A

1307
01:08:40,439 --> 01:08:44,160
Speaker 1: M L I N G Underscore SI. So that's where

1308
01:08:44,160 --> 01:08:47,760
Speaker 1: you can find him on Twitter. So good conversation with him.

1309
01:08:48,080 --> 01:08:52,120
Speaker 1: The conversation we want to have with you is regarding

1310
01:08:52,400 --> 01:08:56,880
Speaker 1: the Bill's formula of success going forward. What's the most

1311
01:08:56,960 --> 01:09:00,720
Speaker 1: likely formula for Bill's victories going forward here on the

1312
01:09:00,800 --> 01:09:03,559
Speaker 1: back half of the schedule. Is it the offense staying

1313
01:09:03,640 --> 01:09:06,680
Speaker 1: hot through the air, the defense taking another step or

1314
01:09:06,960 --> 01:09:10,559
Speaker 1: playing more complimentary football, or maybe it's something else. Eight

1315
01:09:10,680 --> 01:09:13,439
Speaker 1: oh three oh five fifty one eight eight eight five

1316
01:09:13,560 --> 01:09:16,599
Speaker 1: fifty two five fifty is the number to get on board.

1317
01:09:16,840 --> 01:09:19,200
Speaker 1: We also have the tweet sheet at one Bills Live,

1318
01:09:19,320 --> 01:09:21,720
Speaker 1: and we do want to get back to that as

1319
01:09:22,160 --> 01:09:25,679
Speaker 1: we only had begun. And the tweet sheet is brought

1320
01:09:25,720 --> 01:09:29,439
Speaker 1: to you by Corrigan Moving Systems. As we all know,

1321
01:09:30,720 --> 01:09:34,200
Speaker 1: it's the official equipment moving company of the Buffalo Bills.

1322
01:09:34,600 --> 01:09:37,000
Speaker 1: The second one is from Chris. How funny is this

1323
01:09:37,080 --> 01:09:39,160
Speaker 1: Steve that on the tweet sheet? Almost every other week

1324
01:09:39,200 --> 01:09:41,640
Speaker 1: we get a Steve and now we're getting Chris on

1325
01:09:41,720 --> 01:09:44,280
Speaker 1: the I assure you this is not me. I just

1326
01:09:44,680 --> 01:09:46,080
Speaker 1: I know you too, because if I was going to

1327
01:09:46,120 --> 01:09:49,200
Speaker 1: do it, I would change my name, right. So from

1328
01:09:49,439 --> 01:09:52,240
Speaker 1: that's right. So from Chris, he says, if Josh can

1329
01:09:52,280 --> 01:09:54,160
Speaker 1: air it out like that every week, the Bills will

1330
01:09:54,160 --> 01:09:56,400
Speaker 1: be a force to be reckoned with. Can you say,

1331
01:09:56,600 --> 01:09:59,120
Speaker 1: MVP Josh Allen? I think it has a good ring

1332
01:09:59,160 --> 01:10:02,360
Speaker 1: to it. Go pills. Everybody would like to have the

1333
01:10:02,479 --> 01:10:05,360
Speaker 1: high flying offense. That's a no brainer, right, But as

1334
01:10:05,640 --> 01:10:08,360
Speaker 1: we get later into the season, whether it could compromise that,

1335
01:10:08,680 --> 01:10:11,519
Speaker 1: especially when you get to the playoffs, you're gonna have

1336
01:10:11,640 --> 01:10:13,240
Speaker 1: some you're gonna need to have some other things in

1337
01:10:13,320 --> 01:10:16,200
Speaker 1: your holster, right, and they've they've shown that they do

1338
01:10:16,360 --> 01:10:18,240
Speaker 1: have some things in their holster. Them. They ran the

1339
01:10:18,280 --> 01:10:21,120
Speaker 1: ball really well against the New England Patriots, which was

1340
01:10:21,479 --> 01:10:27,400
Speaker 1: I was not expecting that. And for by the same token,

1341
01:10:27,520 --> 01:10:29,320
Speaker 1: you know, they did it throwing the football all over

1342
01:10:29,360 --> 01:10:31,840
Speaker 1: the yard, I think, And then you know, I have

1343
01:10:32,000 --> 01:10:34,240
Speaker 1: yet to see him win with a defensive effort, although

1344
01:10:34,280 --> 01:10:36,880
Speaker 1: the defense defense came up big for a ten point

1345
01:10:36,920 --> 01:10:40,040
Speaker 1: win this last weekend. But coming down the road Arizona Cardinals,

1346
01:10:40,080 --> 01:10:43,080
Speaker 1: their defense has been struggling the Chargers. Their defense is

1347
01:10:43,120 --> 01:10:49,439
Speaker 1: not struggling the Niners. They're injured, but by that time

1348
01:10:49,760 --> 01:10:51,920
Speaker 1: they may get some of the more superficial injuries back

1349
01:10:52,040 --> 01:10:55,080
Speaker 1: and they'll get a sense of what it is to

1350
01:10:55,160 --> 01:10:57,120
Speaker 1: play with the new roster that they have because of

1351
01:10:57,200 --> 01:10:59,200
Speaker 1: those injuries. And of course then they play the Steelers

1352
01:11:00,240 --> 01:11:03,280
Speaker 1: and then of course the Broncos, Patriots and Dolphins to

1353
01:11:03,320 --> 01:11:08,240
Speaker 1: finish out the season. The Steelers and the Niners defenses

1354
01:11:08,280 --> 01:11:10,920
Speaker 1: in two weeks running along with the Chargers who have

1355
01:11:11,000 --> 01:11:13,040
Speaker 1: a really good defense. That's gonna be a tough stretch

1356
01:11:13,360 --> 01:11:15,880
Speaker 1: for this offense. If if they power their way through it.

1357
01:11:15,920 --> 01:11:17,960
Speaker 1: If if Josh Allen's throwing for three hundred yards a

1358
01:11:18,000 --> 01:11:21,120
Speaker 1: game with you know, a four to one or three

1359
01:11:21,200 --> 01:11:25,040
Speaker 1: to one TD to interception ratio, yeah he'll climb back

1360
01:11:25,080 --> 01:11:27,599
Speaker 1: into the MVP race, no question about it. But it's

1361
01:11:27,680 --> 01:11:30,960
Speaker 1: not gonna happen just because he beat the Seahawks by

1362
01:11:31,000 --> 01:11:36,160
Speaker 1: scoring forty four points. Yeah, it's fun, it's fun to

1363
01:11:36,240 --> 01:11:40,200
Speaker 1: watch it. It's a blast, it's great. I just worry

1364
01:11:40,200 --> 01:11:42,920
Speaker 1: about the sustainability of it. But then you watched you know,

1365
01:11:43,080 --> 01:11:45,120
Speaker 1: I mean the Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes did that last

1366
01:11:45,200 --> 01:11:48,680
Speaker 1: year all the way to the Super Bowl, and they

1367
01:11:48,760 --> 01:11:52,880
Speaker 1: weren't great at stopping people, especially early in games. They

1368
01:11:52,960 --> 01:11:56,840
Speaker 1: had four straight comebacks too or three comebacks, including in

1369
01:11:56,880 --> 01:11:59,720
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. I mean they had ten. They over

1370
01:12:00,080 --> 01:12:03,960
Speaker 1: team double digit deficits, I think in every single playoff game,

1371
01:12:04,000 --> 01:12:07,160
Speaker 1: including the Super Bowl, by throwing it all over the

1372
01:12:07,200 --> 01:12:10,400
Speaker 1: place to a large degree, So is it not sustainable?

1373
01:12:10,640 --> 01:12:13,680
Speaker 1: It should without without going into specifics, and because I

1374
01:12:13,720 --> 01:12:17,000
Speaker 1: couldn't do it, I'm gonna make this assertion that there's

1375
01:12:17,040 --> 01:12:19,400
Speaker 1: sometimes in some years where the best team doesn't win

1376
01:12:19,439 --> 01:12:22,840
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl because to win to Super Bowl, you know,

1377
01:12:22,960 --> 01:12:25,960
Speaker 1: you first got to get there. And sometimes by getting there,

1378
01:12:26,080 --> 01:12:28,000
Speaker 1: you may be one of those teams that gets two

1379
01:12:28,200 --> 01:12:31,360
Speaker 1: or three matchups that are the absolute worst possible matchup

1380
01:12:31,400 --> 01:12:32,960
Speaker 1: for your team, and you got to run that gauntlet

1381
01:12:33,040 --> 01:12:34,920
Speaker 1: just to get there. A lot of teams can't do that,

1382
01:12:35,040 --> 01:12:38,160
Speaker 1: even in the postseason. And then you get a team

1383
01:12:38,240 --> 01:12:42,920
Speaker 1: like Kansas City who, despite the fact that they didn't

1384
01:12:42,960 --> 01:12:44,840
Speaker 1: have a really good defense, they should have gone to

1385
01:12:44,880 --> 01:12:46,560
Speaker 1: two Super Bowls in a row if it weren't for

1386
01:12:46,600 --> 01:12:51,360
Speaker 1: a guy lining up off sides, and they didn't. But

1387
01:12:51,479 --> 01:12:54,320
Speaker 1: they did go to one and win it with a

1388
01:12:54,439 --> 01:12:57,519
Speaker 1: team that was very lopsided in favor of having an

1389
01:12:57,560 --> 01:13:00,920
Speaker 1: offense that carried him the entire way. It doesn't always

1390
01:13:01,000 --> 01:13:04,559
Speaker 1: mean the best team, the most solid or most complete

1391
01:13:04,560 --> 01:13:06,519
Speaker 1: team gets to the Super Bowl and wins it. What

1392
01:13:06,680 --> 01:13:09,280
Speaker 1: it means is you got guys who find a way

1393
01:13:09,320 --> 01:13:11,600
Speaker 1: to win the game in front of them. That's what

1394
01:13:11,720 --> 01:13:13,720
Speaker 1: the Patriots did for twenty years on their way to

1395
01:13:13,800 --> 01:13:16,760
Speaker 1: six titles and nine Super Bowls overall. That's what other

1396
01:13:16,840 --> 01:13:18,800
Speaker 1: teams have done. I think that's in large measure, that's

1397
01:13:18,800 --> 01:13:21,240
Speaker 1: what the Chiefs did last year. You find a way

1398
01:13:21,240 --> 01:13:22,760
Speaker 1: to win the game in front of you even though

1399
01:13:22,800 --> 01:13:26,320
Speaker 1: they're down. Remember that playoff game last year against Tennessee. Yeah,

1400
01:13:27,479 --> 01:13:32,479
Speaker 1: so that's what it is. It's something like that. It

1401
01:13:32,760 --> 01:13:35,920
Speaker 1: doesn't matter how good your defense is, how good your

1402
01:13:35,960 --> 01:13:38,240
Speaker 1: offense is. What matters is being able to win the

1403
01:13:38,280 --> 01:13:40,960
Speaker 1: game in front of you by hook or crook. If

1404
01:13:41,000 --> 01:13:43,600
Speaker 1: you need some undrafted rookie free agent to make a

1405
01:13:43,720 --> 01:13:46,320
Speaker 1: game winning play, it's got to happen. If you need

1406
01:13:46,400 --> 01:13:47,880
Speaker 1: a guy that was out of the league and in

1407
01:13:47,880 --> 01:13:50,320
Speaker 1: the Canadian League, like Justin Zimmer to punch a ball out,

1408
01:13:50,560 --> 01:13:56,120
Speaker 1: it happens fifty three guys at some point, and really,

1409
01:13:56,160 --> 01:13:58,360
Speaker 1: of the sixty nine guys that are actually available to

1410
01:13:58,439 --> 01:14:01,400
Speaker 1: the Bills, they're gonna need probably over sixty of them

1411
01:14:01,439 --> 01:14:03,720
Speaker 1: to make a play that is really crucial in a

1412
01:14:03,800 --> 01:14:06,240
Speaker 1: game at some point this season. You gotta make those

1413
01:14:06,320 --> 01:14:09,719
Speaker 1: plays all the way throughout the regular sixteen game season

1414
01:14:09,760 --> 01:14:13,439
Speaker 1: and certainly when you get to the playoffs. And that's

1415
01:14:13,640 --> 01:14:15,720
Speaker 1: the way the league is structured. The best teams don't

1416
01:14:15,720 --> 01:14:18,960
Speaker 1: always win. It's the teams that win, that play that's

1417
01:14:19,040 --> 01:14:21,280
Speaker 1: right in front of them, right this minute, that have

1418
01:14:21,400 --> 01:14:23,840
Speaker 1: a chance, that continue to get chances to win games.

1419
01:14:24,360 --> 01:14:26,120
Speaker 1: And that's what the Bills are gonna have to do

1420
01:14:26,320 --> 01:14:29,000
Speaker 1: going forward. These games, these next four games. We set

1421
01:14:29,040 --> 01:14:31,760
Speaker 1: it on the pregame, these next five games or was

1422
01:14:31,800 --> 01:14:33,560
Speaker 1: it five games or six games? Well it's four and

1423
01:14:33,640 --> 01:14:37,120
Speaker 1: that's four. Now four next four games are a gauntlet

1424
01:14:38,040 --> 01:14:40,559
Speaker 1: and for all different reasons. You got the Pittsburgh Steelers

1425
01:14:40,600 --> 01:14:43,800
Speaker 1: with a dynamic defense and an offense that's trying to

1426
01:14:43,880 --> 01:14:46,479
Speaker 1: find itself, and you got a team like Arizona that's

1427
01:14:46,520 --> 01:14:50,400
Speaker 1: got this quarterba it's the ultimate weapon and they're running

1428
01:14:50,439 --> 01:14:53,240
Speaker 1: it up. But you can't stop people. You gotta win both.

1429
01:14:53,640 --> 01:14:55,320
Speaker 1: You gotta win them. You gotta find ways to win

1430
01:14:55,439 --> 01:14:58,679
Speaker 1: like that. And the Bills have done that. The Bills

1431
01:14:58,720 --> 01:15:01,160
Speaker 1: have done Yeah, they've done a seven out of teams

1432
01:15:01,360 --> 01:15:02,960
Speaker 1: to the tune of seven out of nine. And maybe

1433
01:15:03,000 --> 01:15:04,320
Speaker 1: that's what you have to be. And we can pick

1434
01:15:04,360 --> 01:15:06,120
Speaker 1: this conversation up on the other side, because we do

1435
01:15:06,240 --> 01:15:08,360
Speaker 1: have to take a break. But maybe what you need

1436
01:15:08,400 --> 01:15:11,919
Speaker 1: to be is diverse, more than anything else, the ability

1437
01:15:12,040 --> 01:15:14,720
Speaker 1: to be the chameleon that we were talking about that

1438
01:15:14,800 --> 01:15:17,200
Speaker 1: the Patriots were for so many years. I mean, everybody

1439
01:15:17,240 --> 01:15:19,800
Speaker 1: remembers Tom Brady and the short to intermediate passing game

1440
01:15:19,840 --> 01:15:25,960
Speaker 1: and the efficiency which with which that worked. But they

1441
01:15:26,040 --> 01:15:28,200
Speaker 1: also had a really good red zone defense for about

1442
01:15:28,240 --> 01:15:31,000
Speaker 1: twenty years and we're probably in the top fifteen in

1443
01:15:31,120 --> 01:15:36,080
Speaker 1: points allowed all of those years. So it shouldn't be

1444
01:15:36,200 --> 01:15:39,960
Speaker 1: dismissed that either being a complete team, there's nothing wrong

1445
01:15:40,000 --> 01:15:44,559
Speaker 1: with that, but being a diverse team, one that can

1446
01:15:44,680 --> 01:15:48,519
Speaker 1: kind of change its spots, if you will, and change

1447
01:15:48,640 --> 01:15:51,640
Speaker 1: the complexion of how they win games because they can

1448
01:15:51,720 --> 01:15:55,280
Speaker 1: turn to other options like the Bills did against the Patriots,

1449
01:15:55,360 --> 01:15:57,600
Speaker 1: running at thirty eight times and then turning around the

1450
01:15:57,680 --> 01:16:00,280
Speaker 1: next week and throwing at thirty eight times and beating

1451
01:16:00,320 --> 01:16:03,439
Speaker 1: the Seahawks. If you can demonstrate that kind of diversity,

1452
01:16:03,520 --> 01:16:05,640
Speaker 1: that might be the biggest ace in your pocket. We

1453
01:16:05,760 --> 01:16:07,639
Speaker 1: have to take a break when we come back more

1454
01:16:07,720 --> 01:16:10,000
Speaker 1: on this and what you think is the formula for

1455
01:16:10,120 --> 01:16:13,200
Speaker 1: future success for the Bills going forward. That along with

1456
01:16:13,280 --> 01:16:15,880
Speaker 1: your tweet, chief comments and your phone calls eight oh

1491
01:18:12,880 --> 01:18:15,920
Speaker 1: for all their efforts, especially during this very trying year

1492
01:18:16,640 --> 01:18:19,720
Speaker 1: for football, which for at least Section six has been

1493
01:18:19,800 --> 01:18:23,599
Speaker 1: moved into the spring because it's deemed a high risk

1494
01:18:24,479 --> 01:18:28,640
Speaker 1: sport with respect to COVID um, so they're gonna have

1495
01:18:28,640 --> 01:18:31,880
Speaker 1: to wait until the spring for their seasons, and God willing,

1496
01:18:31,920 --> 01:18:35,360
Speaker 1: if the pandemic subsides or progress is made with respect

1497
01:18:35,400 --> 01:18:38,400
Speaker 1: to a vaccine, they'll be able to conduct their seasons

1498
01:18:38,439 --> 01:18:40,280
Speaker 1: in the spring, which will be a switch for everybody,

1499
01:18:40,360 --> 01:18:44,800
Speaker 1: for sure. It'll be a switch for sure. Just you know,

1500
01:18:46,080 --> 01:18:48,880
Speaker 1: we keep saying twenty twenties. You know, we're making jokes

1501
01:18:48,920 --> 01:18:50,880
Speaker 1: about how bad twenty twenty is. He twenty is gonna

1502
01:18:50,880 --> 01:18:54,320
Speaker 1: impat twenty twenty one, Right, let's just you know what's

1503
01:18:54,360 --> 01:18:57,599
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one gonna look like. Can't Let's just can't

1504
01:18:57,640 --> 01:19:00,360
Speaker 1: be worse. Let's just get there, can't be worse. Get

1505
01:19:00,400 --> 01:19:06,040
Speaker 1: their baby, cannot be all right, So we are talking

1506
01:19:06,240 --> 01:19:11,240
Speaker 1: about how we feel the Bills will most likely sustain

1507
01:19:11,439 --> 01:19:14,839
Speaker 1: success going forward in terms of what the winning formula

1508
01:19:14,920 --> 01:19:17,600
Speaker 1: will be for them in games down the backstretch of

1509
01:19:17,680 --> 01:19:20,799
Speaker 1: the schedule. Choices for you on the tweet sheet. Offense

1510
01:19:20,880 --> 01:19:23,439
Speaker 1: stays hot through the air, defense takes another step forward,

1511
01:19:23,520 --> 01:19:26,760
Speaker 1: they play more complimentary football or something else. Wanted to

1512
01:19:26,840 --> 01:19:28,760
Speaker 1: get some of your responses there on the tweet sheet,

1513
01:19:28,760 --> 01:19:31,719
Speaker 1: which is always brought to you by Corrigan moving systems.

1514
01:19:32,160 --> 01:19:35,200
Speaker 1: And we are up to Jack, who says they need

1515
01:19:35,280 --> 01:19:37,880
Speaker 1: to do all of these things. Hopefully another strong game

1516
01:19:37,920 --> 01:19:40,400
Speaker 1: and the bye week can help the defense regroup, and

1517
01:19:40,479 --> 01:19:42,680
Speaker 1: hopefully the old line can get healthy to open up

1518
01:19:42,680 --> 01:19:46,000
Speaker 1: the run game. But the biggest factor will remain Allan.

1519
01:19:46,360 --> 01:19:50,120
Speaker 1: They'll go as seventeen goes. If he's on and keeps improving,

1520
01:19:50,560 --> 01:19:53,439
Speaker 1: they'll have continued success. Well, we saw that with Patrick

1521
01:19:53,520 --> 01:19:56,920
Speaker 1: Mahomes and the Chiefs. I don't think there's any denying that.

1522
01:19:58,160 --> 01:20:01,679
Speaker 1: And look at the Ravens. Lamar Jackson couldn't be stopped.

1523
01:20:01,720 --> 01:20:03,519
Speaker 1: Last year they go fourteen and two. I know they

1524
01:20:03,560 --> 01:20:05,880
Speaker 1: had an early exit in the playoffs, but this year

1525
01:20:05,920 --> 01:20:09,040
Speaker 1: he's struggling and the Ravens aren't quite up to where

1526
01:20:09,080 --> 01:20:11,240
Speaker 1: they were last year in terms of standard. Yeah, the Ravens,

1527
01:20:11,360 --> 01:20:14,920
Speaker 1: they struggled because Lamars struggled in that playoff game. So

1528
01:20:15,240 --> 01:20:18,960
Speaker 1: it's true. You can say that about any quarterback, particularly

1529
01:20:19,000 --> 01:20:21,719
Speaker 1: a team in this environment in the NFL, where everybody's

1530
01:20:21,720 --> 01:20:24,360
Speaker 1: scoring points all over every place. They'll go as far

1531
01:20:24,400 --> 01:20:28,759
Speaker 1: as their quarterback takes him. If the quarterbacks is gonna struggle,

1532
01:20:28,760 --> 01:20:30,640
Speaker 1: host so is the whole team. This isn't the old

1533
01:20:30,760 --> 01:20:32,320
Speaker 1: days where you can just turn around hand it to

1534
01:20:32,400 --> 01:20:36,920
Speaker 1: Larry Zonka right, or Jim Brown or somebody like that,

1535
01:20:36,960 --> 01:20:38,600
Speaker 1: and you're gonna you can like lean on him and

1536
01:20:38,680 --> 01:20:40,439
Speaker 1: throw that. This is even. This isn't even the two

1537
01:20:40,479 --> 01:20:44,360
Speaker 1: thousand and seven NFL when Ben Roethlisberger was winning playoff

1538
01:20:44,400 --> 01:20:50,080
Speaker 1: games throwing at seventeen times. That's not gonna happen. Your

1539
01:20:50,160 --> 01:20:53,839
Speaker 1: quarterback has got to carry the load offensively. Yeah. I meant,

1540
01:20:53,960 --> 01:20:55,880
Speaker 1: you get a game here and there, like the Bills

1541
01:20:55,920 --> 01:20:58,599
Speaker 1: did against New England and all that stuff. But you're

1542
01:20:58,640 --> 01:21:00,599
Speaker 1: not getting a chance to play in a playoff game

1543
01:21:00,640 --> 01:21:03,040
Speaker 1: like that unless you get through a regular season where

1544
01:21:03,040 --> 01:21:06,439
Speaker 1: your quarterback has shouldered a ton of the load. So

1545
01:21:06,600 --> 01:21:09,160
Speaker 1: I get it. You know, there's no there's no hiding

1546
01:21:09,240 --> 01:21:12,400
Speaker 1: from the fact. And your your defense has got to

1547
01:21:12,479 --> 01:21:14,719
Speaker 1: chip in at some point, and they did this last week,

1548
01:21:15,080 --> 01:21:18,600
Speaker 1: and if they can continue to get better as it

1549
01:21:18,760 --> 01:21:22,680
Speaker 1: seems to me and I you know, coaching staffs, they

1550
01:21:22,720 --> 01:21:24,680
Speaker 1: never say anything, They never say anything, right, I mean,

1551
01:21:24,880 --> 01:21:28,519
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott replies to every answer or every question that

1552
01:21:28,640 --> 01:21:32,000
Speaker 1: we ask him or anybody asked him, and you never know,

1553
01:21:33,080 --> 01:21:34,840
Speaker 1: you never get an answer of what you wanted to

1554
01:21:34,880 --> 01:21:37,599
Speaker 1: know about, right. So that's the way it is, right, LESL.

1555
01:21:37,720 --> 01:21:40,759
Speaker 1: Frazier is the same. But I do get the sense

1556
01:21:41,560 --> 01:21:43,600
Speaker 1: that they really believe in the guys they have in

1557
01:21:43,680 --> 01:21:45,439
Speaker 1: the locker room, at least on the on the defensive

1558
01:21:45,479 --> 01:21:47,360
Speaker 1: side of the ball. I'm talking about about getting better.

1559
01:21:48,080 --> 01:21:53,440
Speaker 1: So that gives me some optimism that last week's performance

1560
01:21:54,439 --> 01:21:58,519
Speaker 1: is more of a trend rather than an aberration. Yeah,

1561
01:21:59,280 --> 01:22:02,000
Speaker 1: and I think they feel that the defense is rounding

1562
01:22:02,040 --> 01:22:04,960
Speaker 1: into form, that they're finally starting to learn how to

1563
01:22:05,000 --> 01:22:08,080
Speaker 1: play off of one another. You know, it was hard

1564
01:22:08,160 --> 01:22:11,840
Speaker 1: to quantify for both sides of the ball what was

1565
01:22:12,040 --> 01:22:17,599
Speaker 1: lost with no preseason, you know, four games to really

1566
01:22:17,720 --> 01:22:19,800
Speaker 1: ramp up and get ready for the regular season. Even

1567
01:22:19,840 --> 01:22:23,080
Speaker 1: if you know your regular starters probably only play a

1568
01:22:23,240 --> 01:22:26,080
Speaker 1: total of a full game over the course of those

1569
01:22:26,120 --> 01:22:29,280
Speaker 1: four preseason games, it's still live reps in a live

1570
01:22:29,400 --> 01:22:34,439
Speaker 1: setting that even in the most intense practice, is hard

1571
01:22:34,520 --> 01:22:38,720
Speaker 1: to duplicate. And I think we learned that no preseason

1572
01:22:39,520 --> 01:22:43,000
Speaker 1: hampered Buffalo's run game because the lineman did not have

1573
01:22:43,320 --> 01:22:46,960
Speaker 1: any opportunity to really execute the combination blocks that they

1574
01:22:47,040 --> 01:22:49,400
Speaker 1: do in the run game because they had no preseason

1575
01:22:49,439 --> 01:22:52,000
Speaker 1: in which to do that, and their padded practices were

1576
01:22:52,040 --> 01:22:54,920
Speaker 1: limited in training camp, and then on the defensive side,

1577
01:22:55,680 --> 01:23:02,160
Speaker 1: I think it hurt them in coverage playing off one another,

1578
01:23:03,280 --> 01:23:07,360
Speaker 1: combination coverages. I mean, you can rep that in practice,

1579
01:23:07,479 --> 01:23:11,040
Speaker 1: but it's not at full speed where you know you're

1580
01:23:11,160 --> 01:23:13,880
Speaker 1: genuinely worried about getting beat over the top and giving

1581
01:23:13,960 --> 01:23:19,160
Speaker 1: up a touchdown press and you know, bail tech, I

1582
01:23:19,200 --> 01:23:21,320
Speaker 1: mean all of this stuff, you weren't doing it at

1583
01:23:21,360 --> 01:23:24,240
Speaker 1: full speed. Yeah, just just all of a sudden, go

1584
01:23:24,320 --> 01:23:26,400
Speaker 1: out and play at full speed and hope you don't

1585
01:23:26,439 --> 01:23:29,160
Speaker 1: screw it up. Right. And Jack's assertion on the tweet

1586
01:23:29,200 --> 01:23:31,120
Speaker 1: sheet about it's all about josh Aden. They'll go as

1587
01:23:31,160 --> 01:23:34,600
Speaker 1: far as he does, Okay, but it's you're gonna have

1588
01:23:34,760 --> 01:23:39,519
Speaker 1: to have your defense chip in, your special teams chip

1589
01:23:39,600 --> 01:23:41,280
Speaker 1: in some of the other the running game, the office,

1590
01:23:41,479 --> 01:23:43,880
Speaker 1: it's you know, all those guys, even if it is

1591
01:23:44,560 --> 01:23:47,920
Speaker 1: their job just to there to support your quarterback. The

1592
01:23:48,040 --> 01:23:50,040
Speaker 1: better they do that and the better they play around him,

1593
01:23:50,080 --> 01:23:53,360
Speaker 1: the better the further he's gonna go. He's he's gonna

1594
01:23:53,360 --> 01:23:55,040
Speaker 1: have some off days, and you got to be able

1595
01:23:55,080 --> 01:23:57,840
Speaker 1: to win in the midst of it. Eight oh three

1596
01:23:58,120 --> 01:24:01,439
Speaker 1: five fifty one eight eight five fifty two five fifty

1597
01:24:01,479 --> 01:24:05,040
Speaker 1: to join us. Also on the tweet sheet, hold on,

1598
01:24:05,120 --> 01:24:06,800
Speaker 1: I lost my spot here do you have the next

1599
01:24:07,120 --> 01:24:10,040
Speaker 1: ste from Jeremy says, complimentary football is where it's at.

1600
01:24:10,479 --> 01:24:12,839
Speaker 1: Has proven by one of the best teams in football.

1601
01:24:13,200 --> 01:24:16,480
Speaker 1: When all three phases of the game succeed, the team succeeds.

1602
01:24:16,640 --> 01:24:18,800
Speaker 1: Special teams and defense really help the rest of the

1603
01:24:18,880 --> 01:24:24,000
Speaker 1: game flow perfectly. And that's I guess that's a ref

1604
01:24:24,040 --> 01:24:28,200
Speaker 1: reference to last week's game and the game's last week's game,

1605
01:24:28,200 --> 01:24:31,720
Speaker 1: you're don't forget opening kickoff, Andre Roberts boom out to

1606
01:24:31,800 --> 01:24:35,439
Speaker 1: them and takes it out sixty yards to the Seattle

1607
01:24:36,200 --> 01:24:37,720
Speaker 1: yard line. That and all of a sudden, you know,

1608
01:24:37,840 --> 01:24:39,559
Speaker 1: Bills are up seven nothing, and here we go. They

1609
01:24:39,640 --> 01:24:41,600
Speaker 1: get a three and out on the first series of

1610
01:24:41,640 --> 01:24:44,679
Speaker 1: the game from Seattle, and they answer that with a touchdown.

1611
01:24:44,840 --> 01:24:47,400
Speaker 1: You're up fourteen to nothing about four minutes into the game,

1612
01:24:48,080 --> 01:24:53,000
Speaker 1: and away you go that and that's set up by

1613
01:24:53,080 --> 01:24:58,720
Speaker 1: a special teams play. And Tyler bass is kicking really well.

1614
01:24:58,800 --> 01:25:00,519
Speaker 1: Now I don't want to jinx or anything. I mean,

1615
01:25:00,560 --> 01:25:03,559
Speaker 1: he missed a sixty one yard or and I would

1616
01:25:03,560 --> 01:25:05,720
Speaker 1: have liked to have seen that thing on target. It

1617
01:25:05,920 --> 01:25:08,519
Speaker 1: was it had a distance. It was close. I think

1618
01:25:08,520 --> 01:25:10,600
Speaker 1: it had the distance to clear the crossbar. I don't know.

1619
01:25:10,840 --> 01:25:13,360
Speaker 1: I don't know, not from my angle up. We're up

1620
01:25:13,400 --> 01:25:17,080
Speaker 1: in the press box watching it, and it had. All

1621
01:25:17,120 --> 01:25:18,960
Speaker 1: I can say is it had a chance if it

1622
01:25:19,120 --> 01:25:21,920
Speaker 1: was if it was on target. But yeah, I think

1623
01:25:21,960 --> 01:25:25,479
Speaker 1: he's kicking really well and I'd like to see that

1624
01:25:25,560 --> 01:25:28,599
Speaker 1: continue and get better. And we'll see though he's done

1625
01:25:28,640 --> 01:25:31,559
Speaker 1: everything he's needed to to help the team win, although

1626
01:25:31,600 --> 01:25:34,840
Speaker 1: he's missed like four kicks on the season, four field

1627
01:25:34,840 --> 01:25:37,760
Speaker 1: goals on the season, an extra point, and I think

1628
01:25:37,840 --> 01:25:39,479
Speaker 1: that's It's nice to be seven and two with that

1629
01:25:39,600 --> 01:25:42,680
Speaker 1: behind you, break time for us when we return. More

1630
01:25:42,720 --> 01:25:44,960
Speaker 1: of your comments on the tweet sheet, and coming up

1631
01:25:45,040 --> 01:25:49,839
Speaker 1: in about twenty minutes time, Andrew Catalan from CBS Sports.

1632
01:25:50,160 --> 01:25:53,479
Speaker 1: He called the Cardinals Dolphins game last week, so we'll

1633
01:25:53,479 --> 01:25:56,160
Speaker 1: be getting an advanced scouting report from him in just

1634
01:25:56,200 --> 01:25:58,879
Speaker 1: about twenty minutes time. Here on One Pills Live, presented

1635
01:25:58,880 --> 01:26:07,680
Speaker 1: by Collid to Health, it's Buffalo Bills Radio. Welcome back

1636
01:26:07,800 --> 01:26:10,439
Speaker 1: One Bill's Live, Chris Brown, Steve Tasker. As we are

1637
01:26:10,520 --> 01:26:13,200
Speaker 1: motoring through our number two of the program here on

1638
01:26:13,280 --> 01:26:16,200
Speaker 1: a Wednesday, case you're just joining us a little bit

1639
01:26:16,200 --> 01:26:19,280
Speaker 1: of a practice update for you. John Brown was not

1640
01:26:19,439 --> 01:26:22,720
Speaker 1: seen during the media viewing portion of practice, but he's

1641
01:26:22,760 --> 01:26:26,000
Speaker 1: missed the last several Wednesdays due to that naggy knee injury.

1642
01:26:26,720 --> 01:26:31,400
Speaker 1: Del Shan Phillips not spotted out there. Trudavious White, Brian Winters,

1643
01:26:31,479 --> 01:26:35,680
Speaker 1: Cody Ford, Taiwan Jones among the non participants. On the

1644
01:26:35,800 --> 01:26:39,040
Speaker 1: good side of the ledger. Josh Norman was back practicing today,

1645
01:26:39,439 --> 01:26:41,840
Speaker 1: as was Mitch Morse, who is now out of the

1646
01:26:41,880 --> 01:26:45,160
Speaker 1: concussion protocol and once again practicing with the team. We'll

1647
01:26:45,200 --> 01:26:48,040
Speaker 1: find out the level of participation for Norman and Morse

1648
01:26:48,760 --> 01:26:53,719
Speaker 1: when the injury report is released later this afternoon. We're

1649
01:26:53,960 --> 01:26:56,840
Speaker 1: going through your comments on the tweet sheet when where

1650
01:26:56,840 --> 01:26:59,120
Speaker 1: we've been asking what's the most likely formula for Bills

1651
01:26:59,200 --> 01:27:01,640
Speaker 1: victories going forward? And it's been a bit of a

1652
01:27:01,720 --> 01:27:05,280
Speaker 1: tight race to this point. It's been a split like

1653
01:27:05,520 --> 01:27:10,599
Speaker 1: forty something percent to forty something percent. Actually it's dipped

1654
01:27:10,600 --> 01:27:14,160
Speaker 1: a little because more complimentary football is gaining steam. Look

1655
01:27:14,200 --> 01:27:17,280
Speaker 1: at this pole, Steve, it's a horse race. Thirty six

1656
01:27:17,400 --> 01:27:21,240
Speaker 1: percent for offense, thirty four and a half percent for defense,

1657
01:27:21,320 --> 01:27:25,719
Speaker 1: and twenty seven or twenty eight percent for a complimentary football.

1658
01:27:25,920 --> 01:27:27,640
Speaker 1: Very nice. Who came up with that? I should I

1659
01:27:27,680 --> 01:27:30,800
Speaker 1: take credit for right now? Just oh, you're taking credit

1660
01:27:30,840 --> 01:27:33,080
Speaker 1: for that one. Nobody. Jay's not here to take credit for.

1661
01:27:33,200 --> 01:27:36,839
Speaker 1: Oh okay. This one coming up next is from Allen

1662
01:27:36,920 --> 01:27:41,679
Speaker 1: on the tweet sheet. Defense, plain and simple play. Teams

1663
01:27:41,720 --> 01:27:44,080
Speaker 1: like the Steelers and the Cardinals, we will need a

1664
01:27:44,280 --> 01:27:49,439
Speaker 1: very good defense to have a chance at a w Well.

1665
01:27:49,600 --> 01:27:51,759
Speaker 1: Be nice to have very good defense and very good offense.

1666
01:27:51,800 --> 01:27:54,799
Speaker 1: And when you can play complete football or complimentary football,

1667
01:27:54,880 --> 01:27:58,479
Speaker 1: it helps. Um he's leaning more to the side of defense,

1668
01:27:58,920 --> 01:28:00,680
Speaker 1: feeling it has to take an other step. And I

1669
01:28:00,800 --> 01:28:03,960
Speaker 1: get that because, as you said earlier in the week, Steve,

1670
01:28:04,439 --> 01:28:07,679
Speaker 1: four takeaways are nice, but you can't rely on those

1671
01:28:07,760 --> 01:28:10,200
Speaker 1: every week because they're not gonna You're not gonna get

1672
01:28:10,240 --> 01:28:13,320
Speaker 1: four every week. I mean, that's just unrealistic. But I

1673
01:28:13,360 --> 01:28:16,800
Speaker 1: don't know, it seems like Alan's kind of forgotten that

1674
01:28:17,000 --> 01:28:20,479
Speaker 1: this is a team that two of the two different

1675
01:28:20,520 --> 01:28:23,040
Speaker 1: teams and they just outscored them forty four thirty four

1676
01:28:23,160 --> 01:28:27,160
Speaker 1: last week, and then like Week four against the Rams,

1677
01:28:27,520 --> 01:28:29,559
Speaker 1: they hung them up and kind of let their foot

1678
01:28:29,560 --> 01:28:31,120
Speaker 1: off the gas, and just what they needed it that

1679
01:28:31,200 --> 01:28:32,760
Speaker 1: they got another touchdown at the end to win it.

1680
01:28:33,360 --> 01:28:35,759
Speaker 1: Then they go out to the Vegas Raiders and they

1681
01:28:35,920 --> 01:28:39,360
Speaker 1: light those guys up. It's a team that has shown

1682
01:28:39,400 --> 01:28:43,760
Speaker 1: the ability if if the other teams susceptible, that just

1683
01:28:43,880 --> 01:28:47,479
Speaker 1: outscore them. And so I get it with the defense

1684
01:28:47,520 --> 01:28:49,479
Speaker 1: and all out of Arizona kind of plays that way.

1685
01:28:49,680 --> 01:28:52,800
Speaker 1: I know, right, I don't want to. I mean, I

1686
01:28:52,920 --> 01:28:55,240
Speaker 1: get it. But we did it in the first month

1687
01:28:55,280 --> 01:28:58,400
Speaker 1: of the season for four weeks straight. Remember how the

1688
01:28:58,680 --> 01:29:01,640
Speaker 1: Bills were jumping out on people, Well they still are,

1689
01:29:01,760 --> 01:29:04,599
Speaker 1: I mean for the season. As we mentioned yesterday, they're

1690
01:29:04,600 --> 01:29:07,080
Speaker 1: outscoring their opponents in the first quarter by almost a

1691
01:29:07,160 --> 01:29:10,320
Speaker 1: three to one margin, sixty six to twenty seven so

1692
01:29:10,520 --> 01:29:14,360
Speaker 1: far this season. Now, the Cardinals are a little bit

1693
01:29:14,400 --> 01:29:17,240
Speaker 1: of a different animal. Slow out of the gate. They're

1694
01:29:17,240 --> 01:29:19,920
Speaker 1: getting outscored in the first quarter fifty one to forty nine.

1695
01:29:20,840 --> 01:29:23,679
Speaker 1: Second and third quarter is where they pick up steam.

1696
01:29:24,040 --> 01:29:27,120
Speaker 1: They're outscoring their opponents seventy three fifty seven, and quarter

1697
01:29:27,280 --> 01:29:29,760
Speaker 1: number two and then coming out of the locker room

1698
01:29:30,280 --> 01:29:36,000
Speaker 1: fifty two to twenty and that that is the bugaboo

1699
01:29:36,080 --> 01:29:38,840
Speaker 1: quarter for the Bill Wow, Oh my gosh, oh man,

1700
01:29:38,920 --> 01:29:43,759
Speaker 1: I smell a stress fest. Bills are being outscored fifty

1701
01:29:43,840 --> 01:29:47,400
Speaker 1: nine to twenty three in the third quarter, Arizona scoring

1702
01:29:47,479 --> 01:29:50,240
Speaker 1: outscoring their opponents fifty two to twenty in the third.

1703
01:29:50,280 --> 01:29:52,559
Speaker 1: So it's almost a mirror image or not a mirror, Yeah,

1704
01:29:52,600 --> 01:29:56,400
Speaker 1: mirror in a reverse mirror immage. Yeah, photo negative. That's

1705
01:29:57,800 --> 01:30:00,920
Speaker 1: oh man, you're already stressing now. Sorry. I put you

1706
01:30:01,000 --> 01:30:04,400
Speaker 1: in this because I listen. I the Bills are working

1707
01:30:04,479 --> 01:30:09,479
Speaker 1: on that and and I think, you know, given you know,

1708
01:30:09,600 --> 01:30:11,519
Speaker 1: given the guys they got, I don't think there's any

1709
01:30:11,600 --> 01:30:13,240
Speaker 1: question they gotta feel like they can come out and

1710
01:30:13,280 --> 01:30:15,400
Speaker 1: score points on anybody. Certainly that you got to feel

1711
01:30:15,439 --> 01:30:16,960
Speaker 1: like a good start. He's going to be crucial to

1712
01:30:17,040 --> 01:30:20,280
Speaker 1: this team. Uh, and coming out after halftime. And I

1713
01:30:20,280 --> 01:30:23,879
Speaker 1: don't know why, you know, they have had this penchant

1714
01:30:24,040 --> 01:30:26,880
Speaker 1: for you know, kind of going into a shell, to

1715
01:30:27,000 --> 01:30:32,639
Speaker 1: say the least in the third quarter, but at least offensively. Um,

1716
01:30:33,720 --> 01:30:38,400
Speaker 1: I'm yeah, if they could score like they score in

1717
01:30:38,400 --> 01:30:41,040
Speaker 1: the first quarter through all four quarters, they're they're you know,

1718
01:30:41,080 --> 01:30:45,519
Speaker 1: they're nine and o right now, right so, um, we'll see. Uh,

1719
01:30:48,520 --> 01:30:50,679
Speaker 1: I think they could this could be another score fest

1720
01:30:50,720 --> 01:30:52,880
Speaker 1: with the Arizonies. I think there. I think it's, you know,

1721
01:30:52,920 --> 01:30:56,160
Speaker 1: one of those games d I didn't. Yeah, in great

1722
01:30:56,200 --> 01:30:59,160
Speaker 1: weather out there indoors, it's gonna be great. I think,

1723
01:30:59,160 --> 01:31:00,400
Speaker 1: you know, the Bill is gonna be able to air

1724
01:31:00,439 --> 01:31:02,000
Speaker 1: it out. They're gonna be able to do everything they

1725
01:31:02,000 --> 01:31:05,360
Speaker 1: want to do. They're gonna get Mitch Morse, theoretically get

1726
01:31:05,400 --> 01:31:08,120
Speaker 1: Mitch Morse back in the lineup, putting John Feliciano would

1727
01:31:08,120 --> 01:31:10,320
Speaker 1: guard Mark Brian Winters back in there, although I don't

1728
01:31:10,320 --> 01:31:13,640
Speaker 1: know if Brian Winners is actually one hundred percent today unpracticing,

1729
01:31:13,720 --> 01:31:15,479
Speaker 1: But man, oh man, you gotta think this is a

1730
01:31:15,520 --> 01:31:18,479
Speaker 1: team that's with John Brown if he you know, he

1731
01:31:18,600 --> 01:31:22,320
Speaker 1: wants to play. He was drafted by this team in Arizona. Um,

1732
01:31:23,240 --> 01:31:25,840
Speaker 1: he wants to come out and have a fantastic game,

1733
01:31:26,320 --> 01:31:29,840
Speaker 1: just like Cole Beasley did last Thanksgiving in Dallas. Look

1734
01:31:29,880 --> 01:31:32,479
Speaker 1: at the top two choices in this Twitter poll right now.

1735
01:31:32,520 --> 01:31:37,600
Speaker 1: It's like Georgia. It's like Georgia thirty five what is that?

1736
01:31:37,720 --> 01:31:40,639
Speaker 1: Thirty five point five and thirty five point six thirty

1737
01:31:40,680 --> 01:31:43,640
Speaker 1: five five to thirty five six? Wow, Yeah, look at

1738
01:31:43,720 --> 01:31:49,120
Speaker 1: that A two there are Yeah, there is a third

1739
01:31:49,200 --> 01:31:52,880
Speaker 1: party candidate for sure. Yeah, it's play more complimentary football.

1740
01:31:52,960 --> 01:31:55,439
Speaker 1: Getting twenty seven point it's the ross pirot of the

1741
01:31:55,720 --> 01:31:59,240
Speaker 1: poll today, if you will, um get getting a respectable

1742
01:31:59,240 --> 01:32:03,320
Speaker 1: amount of the vote. So yeah, one more from the

1743
01:32:03,360 --> 01:32:08,880
Speaker 1: tweet sheet here Dinah chooses other Their play style will

1744
01:32:08,960 --> 01:32:12,680
Speaker 1: be tailored for each opponent individually, meeting our strengths with

1745
01:32:12,760 --> 01:32:15,800
Speaker 1: their weaknesses. This worked well the last two weeks, and

1746
01:32:15,920 --> 01:32:18,160
Speaker 1: I feel it will continue to give us our best

1747
01:32:18,280 --> 01:32:20,519
Speaker 1: chance for success, a right way to be the voice

1748
01:32:20,560 --> 01:32:22,800
Speaker 1: of reason here Dinah, we're not interested in the voice

1749
01:32:22,800 --> 01:32:26,880
Speaker 1: of reason, but I will say this second. What I

1750
01:32:26,960 --> 01:32:28,840
Speaker 1: will say this in your voice of re in your

1751
01:32:28,880 --> 01:32:31,800
Speaker 1: most reasonable voice. What's that gonna look like in Arizona.

1752
01:32:33,120 --> 01:32:35,519
Speaker 1: It's gonna look just like it did last week. I

1753
01:32:35,640 --> 01:32:37,519
Speaker 1: really do. I just don't think they're gonna be quite

1754
01:32:37,520 --> 01:32:42,680
Speaker 1: as aggressive in blitzing. Well, yeah, what's the best way

1755
01:32:42,720 --> 01:32:44,880
Speaker 1: to blitz Murray? See, that's gonna be the question to

1756
01:32:45,080 --> 01:32:47,320
Speaker 1: not have him escape? How do you handle that guy?

1757
01:32:48,240 --> 01:32:50,160
Speaker 1: That's where it's got to be different, right, I mean

1758
01:32:50,240 --> 01:32:52,599
Speaker 1: you cannot. How do you handle that? Just blitz him

1759
01:32:52,640 --> 01:32:54,519
Speaker 1: clean off the edge and think you're gonna get him.

1760
01:32:55,840 --> 01:32:59,000
Speaker 1: He's like he's like a Isaiah McKenzie in a quarterback body.

1761
01:33:00,000 --> 01:33:01,880
Speaker 1: I mean, quick as a hiccup, man, like you're just

1762
01:33:03,479 --> 01:33:06,200
Speaker 1: you gotta break down. And I mean the way Jerry

1763
01:33:06,280 --> 01:33:09,479
Speaker 1: Hughes broke down when Wilson got out of the pocket

1764
01:33:09,520 --> 01:33:12,120
Speaker 1: on that interception by Poorter. He's the reason that interception

1765
01:33:12,200 --> 01:33:15,200
Speaker 1: happened because he did not give him the ability to

1766
01:33:15,240 --> 01:33:18,160
Speaker 1: get to the goal line himself. He just by mirroring him.

1767
01:33:18,240 --> 01:33:20,840
Speaker 1: He broke down and mirrored him. He didn't lunge at him.

1768
01:33:20,880 --> 01:33:24,479
Speaker 1: I am. I'm a huge proponent of that technique. I

1769
01:33:24,640 --> 01:33:27,240
Speaker 1: used it when I played to my advantage once in

1770
01:33:27,320 --> 01:33:30,080
Speaker 1: a while. And you know, people always talk to him

1771
01:33:30,120 --> 01:33:32,040
Speaker 1: to me about you know, I saw when you hit

1772
01:33:32,160 --> 01:33:33,640
Speaker 1: Vernon Turner and you did all this and you hit

1773
01:33:33,720 --> 01:33:35,880
Speaker 1: that guy. The best plays I ever made were the

1774
01:33:35,920 --> 01:33:38,920
Speaker 1: ones where I didn't take a shot, where the guy

1775
01:33:39,000 --> 01:33:42,040
Speaker 1: got this returner who's like Dion Sanders or you know,

1776
01:33:43,240 --> 01:33:49,120
Speaker 1: you name it, Billy White Shoes Johnson Well before okay,

1777
01:33:49,120 --> 01:33:52,600
Speaker 1: all right, you got me Clarence Verdan or some of

1778
01:33:52,680 --> 01:34:00,120
Speaker 1: these guys Vy sikahema, right, the you're out there and

1779
01:34:00,880 --> 01:34:03,559
Speaker 1: you know you're you're gonna be late to the party,

1780
01:34:03,600 --> 01:34:05,439
Speaker 1: he's gonna catch it, and you're not gonna quite get

1781
01:34:05,479 --> 01:34:08,040
Speaker 1: there in time the space enough to make it play.

1782
01:34:08,120 --> 01:34:10,080
Speaker 1: And all these guys convinced themselves, I'm gonna get there

1783
01:34:10,080 --> 01:34:11,960
Speaker 1: in time. I'm gonna lay a lick on him and

1784
01:34:12,160 --> 01:34:14,519
Speaker 1: hit him. You know in your heart you're not going to.

1785
01:34:15,439 --> 01:34:18,320
Speaker 1: That's when you stop and sit right in front of

1786
01:34:18,360 --> 01:34:20,080
Speaker 1: the guy and you make him run around you, you

1787
01:34:20,160 --> 01:34:22,080
Speaker 1: make him throw a move at you, and you just

1788
01:34:22,280 --> 01:34:25,400
Speaker 1: kind of sit there and play basketball with him virtually,

1789
01:34:25,600 --> 01:34:27,519
Speaker 1: keep him between you and the basket, and the goal

1790
01:34:27,560 --> 01:34:30,639
Speaker 1: line is the basket, and just same thing. And if

1791
01:34:30,720 --> 01:34:35,639
Speaker 1: you can make him hesitate for a half a second,

1792
01:34:37,680 --> 01:34:41,720
Speaker 1: that's ten or twelve yards of field position that the

1793
01:34:42,040 --> 01:34:46,240
Speaker 1: you're compadres coming. They're coming. They're ten or twelve yards

1794
01:34:46,280 --> 01:34:49,760
Speaker 1: closer than that. So it you gotta learn not to

1795
01:34:50,120 --> 01:34:52,400
Speaker 1: follow your instincts. As a football player, we've always said,

1796
01:34:52,800 --> 01:34:55,160
Speaker 1: lunge in and make the tackle. Don't do that. Let

1797
01:34:55,240 --> 01:34:57,760
Speaker 1: the guys stand there and do that. That's really hard

1798
01:34:57,840 --> 01:34:59,600
Speaker 1: to do, the same as soccer. Number one rule of

1799
01:34:59,640 --> 01:35:03,479
Speaker 1: defense and soccer is to delay right delay the guy

1800
01:35:03,560 --> 01:35:06,080
Speaker 1: with the ball so whenever, so everybody else can get

1801
01:35:06,160 --> 01:35:09,080
Speaker 1: marked up, and you know it's the same principles apply,

1802
01:35:09,200 --> 01:35:11,599
Speaker 1: So just mirror the guy, don't dive in and lunch

1803
01:35:11,680 --> 01:35:13,280
Speaker 1: trying to get the ball or whatever. It's the same

1804
01:35:13,400 --> 01:35:15,840
Speaker 1: thing and the same thing in basketball, as you mentioned,

1805
01:35:15,880 --> 01:35:18,559
Speaker 1: just stay between that guy in the basket. Now it's

1806
01:35:18,560 --> 01:35:21,080
Speaker 1: a little bit different in basketball with guys hitting forty footers,

1807
01:35:21,960 --> 01:35:24,080
Speaker 1: so staying between him and the basket doesn't mean quite

1808
01:35:24,080 --> 01:35:26,519
Speaker 1: as much as it used to. But so I don't

1809
01:35:26,520 --> 01:35:28,320
Speaker 1: know if it quite applies. It's to basketball the way

1810
01:35:28,439 --> 01:35:30,120
Speaker 1: you can eat those to the other sports. Still, though,

1811
01:35:30,160 --> 01:35:31,880
Speaker 1: it's better to have n't shoot the forty footer than

1812
01:35:31,880 --> 01:35:33,880
Speaker 1: to have you'll have him take the forty footer instead

1813
01:35:33,880 --> 01:35:35,400
Speaker 1: of having him flush it, yeah, instead of the lay

1814
01:35:35,479 --> 01:35:37,439
Speaker 1: up or something. All right, we have to take a break.

1815
01:35:37,479 --> 01:35:41,600
Speaker 1: But when we return, Andrew the Catman Catalan, we'll be

1816
01:35:41,720 --> 01:35:45,200
Speaker 1: joining us from CBS Sports. He did the Cardinals Dolphins

1817
01:35:45,320 --> 01:35:47,720
Speaker 1: game last week. We're gonna be pumping him for an

1818
01:35:47,720 --> 01:35:51,560
Speaker 1: advanced scouting report on the Cardinals for Sunday's game, and

1819
01:35:51,640 --> 01:35:54,960
Speaker 1: maybe a little intel on Tua, knowing he's lurking in

1820
01:35:55,040 --> 01:35:57,880
Speaker 1: Week seventeen. All that coming your way next here on

1821
01:35:57,920 --> 01:36:00,400
Speaker 1: one Bill's Live presented by Kalid to Health. It's Buffalo

1822
01:36:00,560 --> 01:36:12,599
Speaker 1: Bills Radiofalo Hills Radio Network Sports Update, Your Sports Update

1823
01:36:12,680 --> 01:36:15,400
Speaker 1: from One Bill's Drive. Not practicing today for the Bills,

1824
01:36:15,439 --> 01:36:19,880
Speaker 1: Cody four, Trudavious White, Brian Winters in Taiwan, Jones, John

1825
01:36:19,960 --> 01:36:23,799
Speaker 1: Brown also not seen during the media viewing portion of practice.

1826
01:36:23,920 --> 01:36:27,880
Speaker 1: Jerry Hughes got a veteran rest day. Bill's quarterback Josh

1827
01:36:27,920 --> 01:36:30,439
Speaker 1: Allen this week's AFC Offensive Player of the Week after

1828
01:36:30,560 --> 01:36:33,840
Speaker 1: his performance against the Seahawks. Alan completed over eighty one

1829
01:36:33,880 --> 01:36:36,200
Speaker 1: percent of his passes for four hundred and fifteen yards,

1830
01:36:36,240 --> 01:36:39,439
Speaker 1: throwing three touchdowns and rushing for another. Alan earned the

1831
01:36:39,479 --> 01:36:42,160
Speaker 1: AFC Offensive Player of the Week award earlier this season

1832
01:36:42,640 --> 01:36:46,080
Speaker 1: after a win in Week two against Miami. He joins

1833
01:36:46,200 --> 01:36:49,200
Speaker 1: Jim Kelly and Thurman Thomas as the only Bills to

1834
01:36:49,280 --> 01:36:52,400
Speaker 1: win this award more than once in a season. It's

1835
01:36:52,439 --> 01:36:55,040
Speaker 1: the fourth time he's won the award in his career.

1836
01:36:55,479 --> 01:36:59,040
Speaker 1: NFL owners unanimously approved a contingency plan to expand the

1837
01:36:59,080 --> 01:37:03,200
Speaker 1: playoff field from fourteen to sixteen teams if meaningful games

1838
01:37:03,280 --> 01:37:06,120
Speaker 1: cannot be played due to COVID nineteen. In the event

1839
01:37:06,200 --> 01:37:08,240
Speaker 1: the league is forced to take such action, it will

1840
01:37:08,280 --> 01:37:12,240
Speaker 1: not receive teams. According to Commissioner Goodell, this proposed scenario

1841
01:37:12,640 --> 01:37:15,160
Speaker 1: will only become a reality if the league cannot first

1842
01:37:15,479 --> 01:37:20,080
Speaker 1: complete the meaningful games rescheduled in a potential week eighteen.

1843
01:37:20,880 --> 01:37:23,400
Speaker 1: Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey looks like he could be

1844
01:37:23,479 --> 01:37:27,200
Speaker 1: sidelined again on Sunday. McCaffrey suffered a shoulder injury that

1845
01:37:27,360 --> 01:37:29,679
Speaker 1: is keeping him off the practice field today. His status

1846
01:37:29,800 --> 01:37:33,440
Speaker 1: for Sunday is in doubt. According to NFL Networks Ian Rappaport,

1847
01:37:33,720 --> 01:37:37,240
Speaker 1: the Cleveland Browns officially activated Baker Mayfield off the COVID

1848
01:37:37,680 --> 01:37:41,600
Speaker 1: reserve list. Mayfield was placed there on Saturday after he

1849
01:37:41,680 --> 01:37:45,600
Speaker 1: came in close contact with a Brown staffer who tested positive.

1850
01:37:45,920 --> 01:37:49,040
Speaker 1: And the ub Bulls pulled off a forty two ten

1851
01:37:49,200 --> 01:37:52,960
Speaker 1: victory over the Miami RedHawks Tuesday night. Miami kept the

1852
01:37:53,040 --> 01:37:55,760
Speaker 1: game close in the first half, but only managed a

1853
01:37:55,840 --> 01:37:59,559
Speaker 1: field goal in the final thirty minutes. That is your

1854
01:37:59,600 --> 01:38:02,920
Speaker 1: sports update from One Bill's Drive. Chris Brown, Steve Tasker

1855
01:38:03,000 --> 01:38:04,960
Speaker 1: with you our number three of the program as we're

1856
01:38:05,000 --> 01:38:07,960
Speaker 1: broadcasting live from the Seneca Studios here in Orchard Park

1857
01:38:08,439 --> 01:38:12,599
Speaker 1: and joining us now from CBS Sports is a man

1858
01:38:12,760 --> 01:38:16,320
Speaker 1: you know well if you listen to the Bills preseason games,

1859
01:38:16,320 --> 01:38:19,599
Speaker 1: although there weren't any of the summer one. Andrew Catalan

1860
01:38:19,720 --> 01:38:22,200
Speaker 1: from CBS Sports joining us as we are going to

1861
01:38:22,240 --> 01:38:27,120
Speaker 1: be seeking some inside infro from him on the stylings

1862
01:38:27,160 --> 01:38:30,720
Speaker 1: of Kyler Murray as he called the Cardinals Dolphins game

1863
01:38:30,840 --> 01:38:36,000
Speaker 1: last week, Katman, hang it doing, I'm great, Brownie. I'm curious.

1864
01:38:36,080 --> 01:38:41,639
Speaker 1: Am I eligible to be one of Tasker's teammates? Oh oh,

1865
01:38:41,720 --> 01:38:44,439
Speaker 1: I didn't think of that. That would be a total

1866
01:38:44,560 --> 01:38:47,519
Speaker 1: and complete curveball. I like the idea. Now, we've just

1867
01:38:47,600 --> 01:38:51,559
Speaker 1: got to wait a little while, so Steve forgets it. Yeah,

1868
01:38:51,600 --> 01:38:55,640
Speaker 1: ten minutes. Ten minutes might be good. Heck, Andrew, Andrew. So,

1869
01:38:55,800 --> 01:38:58,919
Speaker 1: you got a chance to see Tua and Kyler together

1870
01:38:59,080 --> 01:39:01,760
Speaker 1: on the same field. And there's a ton of guys

1871
01:39:01,840 --> 01:39:07,559
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson, Pat Mahomes, even Josh Allen, Justin Herbert, Joe Burrow.

1872
01:39:07,720 --> 01:39:11,000
Speaker 1: He got a ton of really young quarterbacks in the league.

1873
01:39:11,720 --> 01:39:14,000
Speaker 1: Is there a common denominator among these guys? I know

1874
01:39:14,040 --> 01:39:17,080
Speaker 1: they have widely varying skill sets, But the two you

1875
01:39:17,160 --> 01:39:21,000
Speaker 1: saw last week, Tuah and Kyler, what can you tell

1876
01:39:21,080 --> 01:39:23,160
Speaker 1: us about them and how they fit into the landscape.

1877
01:39:24,360 --> 01:39:26,840
Speaker 1: I think the common denominator, Steve is that all these

1878
01:39:27,000 --> 01:39:30,559
Speaker 1: young kids, whether it's their first or second year, are fearless.

1879
01:39:30,760 --> 01:39:32,880
Speaker 1: I mean, I remember when a rookie quarterback used to

1880
01:39:32,920 --> 01:39:34,640
Speaker 1: come on the field and it would take time, and

1881
01:39:34,720 --> 01:39:37,880
Speaker 1: they'd have that deer and headlights. Look, I don't see

1882
01:39:37,920 --> 01:39:40,080
Speaker 1: that from any of these guys anymore. And meeting with

1883
01:39:40,200 --> 01:39:43,080
Speaker 1: them in the way that they play, I mean, Tuah

1884
01:39:43,280 --> 01:39:46,320
Speaker 1: is so calm and composed and it doesn't seem like

1885
01:39:46,479 --> 01:39:50,519
Speaker 1: anything rattles him. And Kyler Murray is this serious, dead

1886
01:39:50,600 --> 01:39:53,479
Speaker 1: on you can't break him from his stride. I also

1887
01:39:53,560 --> 01:39:56,320
Speaker 1: had Herbert a couple of weeks ago, very similar. They're

1888
01:39:56,360 --> 01:39:57,920
Speaker 1: just they just seem like when they get to the

1889
01:39:58,080 --> 01:40:01,040
Speaker 1: NFL compared to maybe years ago, they're just ready to

1890
01:40:01,120 --> 01:40:03,479
Speaker 1: hit the ground running. And I was really impressed. This

1891
01:40:03,960 --> 01:40:08,160
Speaker 1: last Sunday's game between Arizona and Miami was really top

1892
01:40:08,280 --> 01:40:10,040
Speaker 1: notch game, probably one of the better games I've had

1893
01:40:10,080 --> 01:40:11,920
Speaker 1: a chance to call in the last few years. It

1894
01:40:12,080 --> 01:40:14,720
Speaker 1: was awesome. Those two kids played great at quarterback, and

1895
01:40:14,800 --> 01:40:18,240
Speaker 1: it was a phenomenal game. Looking at Murray, I mean,

1896
01:40:18,360 --> 01:40:21,120
Speaker 1: we've only seen him on television, and I know we

1897
01:40:21,200 --> 01:40:23,040
Speaker 1: always say when you get down on the field that

1898
01:40:23,120 --> 01:40:25,599
Speaker 1: they look even faster than they are. He looks fast

1899
01:40:25,720 --> 01:40:29,200
Speaker 1: on TV. Like I was telling Steve yesterday, his feet

1900
01:40:29,240 --> 01:40:31,680
Speaker 1: looked like the Roadrunner from the old cartoons, you know.

1901
01:40:32,040 --> 01:40:34,800
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just a spinning thing going on down there.

1902
01:40:35,320 --> 01:40:37,559
Speaker 1: Does he look even faster in person, even if you're

1903
01:40:37,600 --> 01:40:40,640
Speaker 1: up high in the booth, he does, Chris, I mean,

1904
01:40:40,720 --> 01:40:43,479
Speaker 1: Brian Flores, the Miami coach, told us leading into the

1905
01:40:43,560 --> 01:40:46,720
Speaker 1: game that it was as similar game plan as if

1906
01:40:46,760 --> 01:40:51,280
Speaker 1: you're facing Lamar Jackson. I feel that Murray is faster

1907
01:40:51,520 --> 01:40:54,519
Speaker 1: than Lamar. And he's just so quick too. I mean,

1908
01:40:54,560 --> 01:40:57,200
Speaker 1: I think there's a difference between you know, flat out

1909
01:40:57,320 --> 01:41:01,640
Speaker 1: forty speed and quickness. I think Murray, the way that

1910
01:41:01,720 --> 01:41:04,479
Speaker 1: he gets away from rushes, the way that he's able

1911
01:41:04,520 --> 01:41:07,360
Speaker 1: to circle around and dodge, and just how quickly he

1912
01:41:07,479 --> 01:41:10,920
Speaker 1: gets to the outside, he is incredibly dangerous. He ran

1913
01:41:11,000 --> 01:41:13,640
Speaker 1: for over one hundred yards against a Miami defense that

1914
01:41:13,760 --> 01:41:16,559
Speaker 1: I think has come a long way since the Bills

1915
01:41:16,640 --> 01:41:19,960
Speaker 1: faced Miami earlier this season. This Miami ds is to

1916
01:41:20,120 --> 01:41:22,760
Speaker 1: me pretty legit right now. And Murray ran for over

1917
01:41:22,800 --> 01:41:25,120
Speaker 1: a hundred yards. He is a scary guy to game

1918
01:41:25,200 --> 01:41:27,439
Speaker 1: plan for and the Bills will have their hands full

1919
01:41:27,479 --> 01:41:30,120
Speaker 1: with him on Sunday. And about the Arizona defense as

1920
01:41:30,160 --> 01:41:32,120
Speaker 1: they faced the you know, the Miami Dolphins and two

1921
01:41:32,120 --> 01:41:36,360
Speaker 1: A tonga Iloa. What was the Arizona defense's plan against

1922
01:41:36,439 --> 01:41:39,960
Speaker 1: Tuah and overall how have they been playing? And I

1923
01:41:40,080 --> 01:41:42,720
Speaker 1: know it's a story about Arizona's offense this year, but

1924
01:41:42,840 --> 01:41:46,559
Speaker 1: what's their defense like? Yes, so, Steve, they were without

1925
01:41:46,680 --> 01:41:49,720
Speaker 1: three defensive starters on Sunday. They had two guys on

1926
01:41:49,800 --> 01:41:52,760
Speaker 1: the COVID list of An Kannard and Byron Murphy, and

1927
01:41:52,920 --> 01:41:55,920
Speaker 1: then Drake Kirkpatrick who they got from the Bengals, was

1928
01:41:56,000 --> 01:41:58,680
Speaker 1: also out with an injury. I really thought that in

1929
01:41:58,760 --> 01:42:02,519
Speaker 1: the secondary they missed Murphy and Kirkpatrick. They had some

1930
01:42:02,680 --> 01:42:05,040
Speaker 1: guys in there at corner that just could not hold

1931
01:42:05,160 --> 01:42:08,280
Speaker 1: up with those Miami receivers who really, I mean, DeVante

1932
01:42:08,360 --> 01:42:11,000
Speaker 1: Parker has emerged, but it's not like you're going against

1933
01:42:11,080 --> 01:42:15,120
Speaker 1: this incredible receiving corps from Miami and Tuah. And to

1934
01:42:15,240 --> 01:42:17,800
Speaker 1: Miami's credit, they had their way. I think that this

1935
01:42:18,000 --> 01:42:20,559
Speaker 1: week if they you know, Murphy came off the COVID

1936
01:42:20,600 --> 01:42:24,040
Speaker 1: list today along with Kinnard. If Kirkpatrick is back, I

1937
01:42:24,080 --> 01:42:26,400
Speaker 1: think it'll be a different defense the Buffalo we'll see.

1938
01:42:26,520 --> 01:42:29,800
Speaker 1: I really think that Arizona was limited last week. It

1939
01:42:29,960 --> 01:42:32,960
Speaker 1: was interesting. I know Next Gen has a lot of

1940
01:42:33,000 --> 01:42:35,680
Speaker 1: fun putting up a ton of stats and they throw

1941
01:42:35,760 --> 01:42:38,120
Speaker 1: them out there on Twitter all the time. The most

1942
01:42:38,200 --> 01:42:42,360
Speaker 1: interesting one was among the quarterbacks who have like the

1943
01:42:42,520 --> 01:42:48,880
Speaker 1: highest elusive rating this year, it's Alan and Murray. They're

1944
01:42:48,960 --> 01:42:52,320
Speaker 1: one and two in terms of elusiveness rating, which I

1945
01:42:52,439 --> 01:42:54,960
Speaker 1: guess shouldn't surprise any of us that have watched these

1946
01:42:55,040 --> 01:42:58,839
Speaker 1: guys play. But man, you want to talk about stressing

1947
01:42:58,880 --> 01:43:02,080
Speaker 1: out of defense, these two guys do it in Spain's

1948
01:43:02,080 --> 01:43:03,679
Speaker 1: I mean, that's why a lot of us are thinking

1949
01:43:04,439 --> 01:43:10,120
Speaker 1: this Bill's Cardinals game could be another shootout type of fair. Yeah,

1950
01:43:10,160 --> 01:43:12,320
Speaker 1: I agree with you, Chris. And when I met with

1951
01:43:12,439 --> 01:43:15,160
Speaker 1: Arizona last week, and even though they lost to Miami,

1952
01:43:15,400 --> 01:43:18,439
Speaker 1: this is a very determined team. As I mentioned before,

1953
01:43:18,600 --> 01:43:21,080
Speaker 1: Murray is he's a serious guy and he can't really

1954
01:43:21,120 --> 01:43:23,760
Speaker 1: get him to laugh very much. That he's all ball.

1955
01:43:24,400 --> 01:43:27,360
Speaker 1: You've got DeAndre Hopkins. They didn't have Kenyan Drake last week,

1956
01:43:27,400 --> 01:43:29,519
Speaker 1: but they'll try to get him back. This is a

1957
01:43:29,600 --> 01:43:32,800
Speaker 1: team that believes that they are not only a playoff team,

1958
01:43:32,840 --> 01:43:35,600
Speaker 1: but they can win that division. They beat Seattle at

1959
01:43:35,680 --> 01:43:37,479
Speaker 1: home two weeks ago, and over time, that was a

1960
01:43:37,520 --> 01:43:39,920
Speaker 1: big win for their confidence. I know they didn't get

1961
01:43:39,960 --> 01:43:42,479
Speaker 1: the job done against Miami, but I feel like they're

1962
01:43:42,479 --> 01:43:44,320
Speaker 1: going to have that bad taste in their mouth against

1963
01:43:44,320 --> 01:43:46,360
Speaker 1: the Bills, and I agree. I think it's gonna be

1964
01:43:46,360 --> 01:43:49,240
Speaker 1: a fantastic game on Sunday in the desert two two

1965
01:43:49,320 --> 01:43:54,680
Speaker 1: years ago. When the Cardinals hired Cliff Kingsbury, they's some

1966
01:43:54,800 --> 01:43:56,320
Speaker 1: work to do, no question about it. There's a lot

1967
01:43:56,360 --> 01:43:58,680
Speaker 1: of eyebrows raised about the quality and a brand of

1968
01:43:58,720 --> 01:44:01,800
Speaker 1: football he was gonna bring to the Arizona Cardinals. Would

1969
01:44:01,840 --> 01:44:04,719
Speaker 1: it translate? What's your take on the kind of coach

1970
01:44:04,880 --> 01:44:07,960
Speaker 1: Kingsbury is? Is he a guy who's going to have

1971
01:44:08,040 --> 01:44:10,439
Speaker 1: some stabilities, He's going to grow into this role as

1972
01:44:10,520 --> 01:44:13,400
Speaker 1: head coach? Has it been exactly what the doctor ordered

1973
01:44:13,400 --> 01:44:16,639
Speaker 1: in Arizona's What's take the temperature of that move two

1974
01:44:16,720 --> 01:44:18,679
Speaker 1: years ago? And certainly they seem to be on track

1975
01:44:18,760 --> 01:44:22,000
Speaker 1: of having it be the exact right decision. Well, you

1976
01:44:22,120 --> 01:44:24,200
Speaker 1: think about what they did out there and it's it's

1977
01:44:24,240 --> 01:44:26,720
Speaker 1: actually you don't really see it anymore. I mean, they

1978
01:44:26,840 --> 01:44:30,120
Speaker 1: hired a new coach and they drafted Josh Rosen, and

1979
01:44:30,240 --> 01:44:32,200
Speaker 1: then a year later they got rid of both of them,

1980
01:44:32,280 --> 01:44:34,799
Speaker 1: their new coach and their first round pick in Rosen.

1981
01:44:35,080 --> 01:44:37,960
Speaker 1: They bring in Kingsbury, who had a losing record at

1982
01:44:38,040 --> 01:44:40,760
Speaker 1: Texas Tech and never coached in the NFL, and they

1983
01:44:40,880 --> 01:44:43,959
Speaker 1: draft a kid who's five ten who wanted to play baseball.

1984
01:44:44,280 --> 01:44:48,120
Speaker 1: I mean that that could have easily backfired on Arizona

1985
01:44:48,200 --> 01:44:50,840
Speaker 1: in a big way, right, would cost the GM the job.

1986
01:44:51,200 --> 01:44:53,400
Speaker 1: And now here they are with five and three record.

1987
01:44:53,680 --> 01:44:56,639
Speaker 1: Kingsbury does a real good job calling the plays. Murray

1988
01:44:56,760 --> 01:44:59,679
Speaker 1: is turning in, as we've discussed already, into a really

1989
01:44:59,720 --> 01:45:01,920
Speaker 1: to mounted quarterback. I give them a lot of credit.

1990
01:45:02,080 --> 01:45:04,880
Speaker 1: I don't think a lot of organizations can survive what

1991
01:45:05,120 --> 01:45:07,640
Speaker 1: they did and what they're trying to pull off. But

1992
01:45:07,760 --> 01:45:10,240
Speaker 1: they're on that arc there and a very tough division,

1993
01:45:11,000 --> 01:45:13,360
Speaker 1: but they're on that arc to make the playoffs this

1994
01:45:13,520 --> 01:45:16,200
Speaker 1: year and be good for a while behind Kyler Murray.

1995
01:45:16,479 --> 01:45:19,599
Speaker 1: I know you touched on it a little bit already, Andrew,

1996
01:45:19,680 --> 01:45:24,360
Speaker 1: but this rookie quarterback surge that we're seeing here this year,

1997
01:45:24,920 --> 01:45:27,840
Speaker 1: you know, with Burrow, Herbert and now two of who's

1998
01:45:27,920 --> 01:45:32,040
Speaker 1: part of the mix. I think we've seen that chan

1999
01:45:32,160 --> 01:45:36,320
Speaker 1: Gailey has done a very good job of making easy

2000
01:45:36,439 --> 01:45:40,280
Speaker 1: reads for two to execute. So there isn't that hesitation

2001
01:45:40,360 --> 01:45:43,680
Speaker 1: in the pocket or him taking unnecessary hits. But I

2002
01:45:43,760 --> 01:45:47,160
Speaker 1: mean Herbert came out of the shoot with ten minutes

2003
01:45:47,280 --> 01:45:49,960
Speaker 1: notice before his first starting through for three hundred yards

2004
01:45:50,000 --> 01:45:53,400
Speaker 1: and took the Chiefs to overtime and got beat on

2005
01:45:53,439 --> 01:45:56,880
Speaker 1: a fifty eight yarder. So what do you make of

2006
01:45:56,960 --> 01:46:00,240
Speaker 1: this rookie quarterback surge this year? Because I don't think

2007
01:46:00,240 --> 01:46:03,040
Speaker 1: we expected to see all three of these quarterbacks have

2008
01:46:03,320 --> 01:46:08,559
Speaker 1: such success so quickly. Yeah, it's stunning to me. Chris

2009
01:46:08,680 --> 01:46:10,280
Speaker 1: and I know we touched on that before, but it

2010
01:46:10,400 --> 01:46:12,880
Speaker 1: just seems to me that some of these younger kids,

2011
01:46:13,640 --> 01:46:16,280
Speaker 1: I don't know how or why, what it is the

2012
01:46:16,439 --> 01:46:19,160
Speaker 1: reason for it, but they just they come in and

2013
01:46:19,200 --> 01:46:22,680
Speaker 1: they're ready to roll. There's no fear. Even Herbert. You

2014
01:46:22,720 --> 01:46:24,840
Speaker 1: look at Herbert, I mean he never took a snap

2015
01:46:25,000 --> 01:46:28,519
Speaker 1: under center at Oregon, He never called plays. He would

2016
01:46:28,520 --> 01:46:30,280
Speaker 1: just get him from the sideline and they would go.

2017
01:46:30,880 --> 01:46:33,080
Speaker 1: And now you know, as you said ten minutes before

2018
01:46:33,120 --> 01:46:35,200
Speaker 1: their game against the Chiefs, He's going out there and

2019
01:46:35,760 --> 01:46:37,800
Speaker 1: spinning it. I saw him a couple of weeks ago

2020
01:46:37,920 --> 01:46:40,320
Speaker 1: for the first time out in LA I mean, he's

2021
01:46:40,360 --> 01:46:44,320
Speaker 1: got an incredible arm, and Tuah is similar. I mean,

2022
01:46:44,400 --> 01:46:47,040
Speaker 1: it doesn't seem like anything rattles this kid. I mean

2023
01:46:47,400 --> 01:46:50,280
Speaker 1: he threw for ninety three yards. He got destroyed by

2024
01:46:50,360 --> 01:46:52,800
Speaker 1: Aaron Donald on his second play from scrimmage and his

2025
01:46:52,880 --> 01:46:55,280
Speaker 1: start against the Rams, and he didn't do much the

2026
01:46:55,400 --> 01:46:57,679
Speaker 1: rest of that game. And I thought, I thought Miami

2027
01:46:57,800 --> 01:46:59,720
Speaker 1: was a little trouble last week. Leading into that game.

2028
01:47:00,000 --> 01:47:01,960
Speaker 1: They didn't have their top two running backs. They had

2029
01:47:02,000 --> 01:47:04,080
Speaker 1: two as first start on the road, you know, the

2030
01:47:04,240 --> 01:47:06,800
Speaker 1: receiving corps. They had one of their guys on COVID

2031
01:47:06,920 --> 01:47:09,400
Speaker 1: nineteen list. I thought Miami was going to struggle to

2032
01:47:09,439 --> 01:47:11,880
Speaker 1: move the ball. Scored thirty four points. Now, their defense

2033
01:47:11,960 --> 01:47:15,040
Speaker 1: did score a touchdown again, but but Tua was able

2034
01:47:15,120 --> 01:47:18,000
Speaker 1: to throw the ball. Shan Galley put him in great spots.

2035
01:47:19,760 --> 01:47:21,880
Speaker 1: I don't know what it is, Chris, but these young

2036
01:47:22,000 --> 01:47:24,800
Speaker 1: kids continue to shine and it's awesome to see. I mean,

2037
01:47:25,120 --> 01:47:28,000
Speaker 1: especially in the AFC, there's so many good young quarterbacks

2038
01:47:28,120 --> 01:47:30,280
Speaker 1: right now. I think that bodes well for the conference

2039
01:47:30,320 --> 01:47:32,240
Speaker 1: down the road. Well here here in Buffalo, we just

2040
01:47:32,520 --> 01:47:35,479
Speaker 1: seemed to sort of semi exercise the demon that New

2041
01:47:35,560 --> 01:47:37,639
Speaker 1: England has been for the last twenty years. You beat

2042
01:47:37,680 --> 01:47:39,400
Speaker 1: them in the first meeting of the season, and now

2043
01:47:39,479 --> 01:47:41,719
Speaker 1: you look over your shoulder. It's not forget about the Patriots,

2044
01:47:41,760 --> 01:47:44,800
Speaker 1: now's the Dolphins. How nice a job has Brian Flor

2045
01:47:44,920 --> 01:47:48,360
Speaker 1: has done. We've you know, begrudgingly, even Brownie and I

2046
01:47:48,400 --> 01:47:50,200
Speaker 1: are sitting here going, man, Brian Flores looks like a

2047
01:47:50,280 --> 01:47:53,280
Speaker 1: really good coach. Does that what you see as well? Yeah,

2048
01:47:53,439 --> 01:47:57,000
Speaker 1: he is Steve. He really impressed me owen seven to

2049
01:47:57,120 --> 01:48:00,240
Speaker 1: start last year. All the talk of tanking and now,

2050
01:48:00,360 --> 01:48:03,320
Speaker 1: I mean this team takes on his personality, which is

2051
01:48:03,400 --> 01:48:06,960
Speaker 1: blue collar, hard working, discipline. There towards the bottom in

2052
01:48:07,080 --> 01:48:11,920
Speaker 1: terms of penalties this year. He is a players coach.

2053
01:48:12,360 --> 01:48:14,000
Speaker 1: I think that's where people think he's, Ah, he's just

2054
01:48:14,080 --> 01:48:17,400
Speaker 1: another Belichick guy. He's a players coach that has a

2055
01:48:17,520 --> 01:48:21,639
Speaker 1: high standard. But he relates really well to the players.

2056
01:48:21,720 --> 01:48:24,840
Speaker 1: I think that's important. I think they love playing for him.

2057
01:48:25,640 --> 01:48:29,200
Speaker 1: He's shown an ability to adjust and adapt on the

2058
01:48:29,280 --> 01:48:32,759
Speaker 1: fly if something's not working. Clearly. The move to Tua

2059
01:48:33,120 --> 01:48:36,360
Speaker 1: came out of nowhere. I mean Fitzpatrick was rolling everyone's

2060
01:48:36,360 --> 01:48:39,040
Speaker 1: talking about the playoffs and he brings in two who

2061
01:48:39,040 --> 01:48:40,760
Speaker 1: hadn't played a game in a year because of his

2062
01:48:40,880 --> 01:48:43,160
Speaker 1: hip injury. I mean that took some guts to pull

2063
01:48:43,240 --> 01:48:46,680
Speaker 1: off that move. He's the real deal, Steve. I think

2064
01:48:46,720 --> 01:48:49,120
Speaker 1: that Miami's got a lot to build on with Flores,

2065
01:48:49,200 --> 01:48:51,760
Speaker 1: and you know they already have a lot of young

2066
01:48:51,840 --> 01:48:54,280
Speaker 1: guys playing. I mean, you know three fifths of their

2067
01:48:54,320 --> 01:48:59,479
Speaker 1: offensive line are rookies. Yes, from a Buffalo perspective, I

2068
01:48:59,560 --> 01:49:01,599
Speaker 1: think my Amy's going to be around for a while

2069
01:49:01,680 --> 01:49:04,479
Speaker 1: to compete with these Bills. With that call that he

2070
01:49:04,640 --> 01:49:07,800
Speaker 1: made a loan to go to Tua, I mean that could.

2071
01:49:07,920 --> 01:49:11,360
Speaker 1: I mean this team finishes with nine wins. I mean

2072
01:49:11,640 --> 01:49:13,920
Speaker 1: that he could. He could be vaulted into the Coach

2073
01:49:13,960 --> 01:49:16,880
Speaker 1: of the Year discussion just by virtue of making that

2074
01:49:17,000 --> 01:49:19,120
Speaker 1: call and still finishing with a winning record. I mean,

2075
01:49:19,200 --> 01:49:23,519
Speaker 1: nobody anticipated that in year two for them. No, I agree.

2076
01:49:23,720 --> 01:49:25,519
Speaker 1: You know, he told a really cool story in one

2077
01:49:25,560 --> 01:49:28,000
Speaker 1: of our meetings once, and I always forget to tell

2078
01:49:28,040 --> 01:49:30,680
Speaker 1: it on the air, So I'm gonna tell you. He

2079
01:49:30,880 --> 01:49:34,360
Speaker 1: said as an assistant with New England, he always told

2080
01:49:34,439 --> 01:49:38,600
Speaker 1: the players, I hope my expectations for you are not

2081
01:49:38,880 --> 01:49:42,720
Speaker 1: higher than the expectations you have for yourself. So a

2082
01:49:42,800 --> 01:49:45,479
Speaker 1: couple of years down the road, this was in twenty fourteen,

2083
01:49:45,960 --> 01:49:49,320
Speaker 1: Nate Ebner or the Patriots, asked him, Hey, when you're

2084
01:49:49,360 --> 01:49:51,680
Speaker 1: a head coach, how will you handle something like this?

2085
01:49:52,160 --> 01:49:55,040
Speaker 1: And Floras said, yeah, I'm not really thinking about being

2086
01:49:55,080 --> 01:49:56,920
Speaker 1: a head coach, you know, I'm just happy with what

2087
01:49:57,000 --> 01:49:59,280
Speaker 1: I'm doing. And Edner said to him, I hope my

2088
01:49:59,400 --> 01:50:02,720
Speaker 1: expectation for you are not higher than the expectations you

2089
01:50:02,840 --> 01:50:05,000
Speaker 1: have for yourself. And that was the first time that

2090
01:50:05,080 --> 01:50:07,919
Speaker 1: he really thought about being a head coach. And he's

2091
01:50:07,960 --> 01:50:10,040
Speaker 1: that type of guy that relates to the players so

2092
01:50:10,200 --> 01:50:12,800
Speaker 1: well that they respect him that they can say something

2093
01:50:12,920 --> 01:50:15,000
Speaker 1: like that back to him. And when I see Miami,

2094
01:50:15,320 --> 01:50:18,320
Speaker 1: I see culture similar to Buffalo, and you guys know,

2095
01:50:18,439 --> 01:50:19,920
Speaker 1: I've been on your show a number of times. I

2096
01:50:20,040 --> 01:50:23,240
Speaker 1: love the culture that Being and McDermott have put together.

2097
01:50:23,479 --> 01:50:25,519
Speaker 1: I said on your show in the spring that I

2098
01:50:25,600 --> 01:50:28,559
Speaker 1: thought the Bills were the division favorites, and so far,

2099
01:50:28,640 --> 01:50:31,320
Speaker 1: so good on that. But the culture that Flores is

2100
01:50:31,320 --> 01:50:34,160
Speaker 1: building in Miami. I'm a believer in that as well.

2101
01:50:34,479 --> 01:50:36,280
Speaker 1: You have done a Bills game earlier in the year,

2102
01:50:36,280 --> 01:50:37,960
Speaker 1: and I can't remember whether it was the Bills Miami

2103
01:50:38,080 --> 01:50:40,200
Speaker 1: game first time around, or was a Jets game. Maybe

2104
01:50:40,240 --> 01:50:42,720
Speaker 1: it was the Jet games opening day? Yeah, week one.

2105
01:50:44,120 --> 01:50:46,000
Speaker 1: What do you think about the Bills seven and two

2106
01:50:46,160 --> 01:50:48,320
Speaker 1: start and what has surprised you the most about it?

2107
01:50:50,520 --> 01:50:52,960
Speaker 1: You know? Unfortunately I don't get to watch all of

2108
01:50:53,040 --> 01:50:55,240
Speaker 1: their games as I would love to, But from what

2109
01:50:55,400 --> 01:50:59,400
Speaker 1: I've seen, and I could be wrong, I don't think

2110
01:50:59,479 --> 01:51:03,240
Speaker 1: they've played their best football yet and there's still seven

2111
01:51:03,320 --> 01:51:05,559
Speaker 1: and two. Like, I think that there's a lot more

2112
01:51:05,680 --> 01:51:08,720
Speaker 1: room for this team to grow to play better and

2113
01:51:08,920 --> 01:51:10,640
Speaker 1: that takes I think they're having a great year. I

2114
01:51:10,720 --> 01:51:13,080
Speaker 1: mean to win on Sunday, you know, speaks for itself.

2115
01:51:13,600 --> 01:51:15,160
Speaker 1: But I think that they could play even better and

2116
01:51:15,240 --> 01:51:17,280
Speaker 1: I expect that they will. I think this team's going

2117
01:51:17,320 --> 01:51:20,599
Speaker 1: to hit another gear down the stretch and be really

2118
01:51:20,720 --> 01:51:25,320
Speaker 1: dangerous come January. So kat Man, where are you in

2119
01:51:25,520 --> 01:51:28,200
Speaker 1: terms of Sunday's game schedule? Where who are you calling?

2120
01:51:29,600 --> 01:51:31,920
Speaker 1: So this Sunday no NFL for me, I've got the

2121
01:51:32,040 --> 01:51:35,599
Speaker 1: Masters Tournament. I will be doing the feature group coverage.

2122
01:51:35,640 --> 01:51:38,479
Speaker 1: So I'll be on the air tomorrow morning with Tiger

2123
01:51:38,560 --> 01:51:41,439
Speaker 1: Woods and his group and Bryson Deshambo and see how

2124
01:51:41,520 --> 01:51:43,040
Speaker 1: far he can hit it. And I know he doesn't

2125
01:51:43,040 --> 01:51:45,640
Speaker 1: have tasker length, but you know, he can really get

2126
01:51:45,680 --> 01:51:48,479
Speaker 1: it out there. And a little break for me for

2127
01:51:48,560 --> 01:51:50,360
Speaker 1: the NFL. And then I got the Patriots and the

2128
01:51:50,439 --> 01:51:54,519
Speaker 1: Texans next, Texans, very nice. I'm trying to figure out

2129
01:51:54,560 --> 01:51:58,200
Speaker 1: what that Texans team is. I mean, since they turned

2130
01:51:58,240 --> 01:52:01,760
Speaker 1: to Romeo, it's seems to me like they seemed to

2131
01:52:01,880 --> 01:52:03,799
Speaker 1: get a little bit of a bump from that change.

2132
01:52:04,520 --> 01:52:07,160
Speaker 1: But I still don't know what they are and if

2133
01:52:07,200 --> 01:52:08,640
Speaker 1: we're even going to hear from them, they may be

2134
01:52:08,720 --> 01:52:11,320
Speaker 1: too too far and gone to be helped at this point. Yeah,

2135
01:52:11,479 --> 01:52:15,120
Speaker 1: who knows. I don't think you will. I think that

2136
01:52:15,240 --> 01:52:18,559
Speaker 1: division Tennessee in Indianapolis are gonna be one and two

2137
01:52:18,600 --> 01:52:21,160
Speaker 1: in that division, and I think they're gonna make a

2138
01:52:21,200 --> 01:52:23,360
Speaker 1: lot of changes down there. I think they need to

2139
01:52:23,760 --> 01:52:26,960
Speaker 1: move some things around in Houston. It's it's it's not

2140
01:52:27,080 --> 01:52:29,320
Speaker 1: going there. Only two wins were against Jackson. Yeah. Have

2141
01:52:29,479 --> 01:52:34,599
Speaker 1: you had the Colts or the Titans yet? Yeah? I've

2142
01:52:34,600 --> 01:52:37,360
Speaker 1: had of both. You know Frank Reich is still doing

2143
01:52:37,400 --> 01:52:39,760
Speaker 1: a great job with the Colts. They had a tough

2144
01:52:39,800 --> 01:52:43,040
Speaker 1: one against Baltimore. A lot's gonna depend on how Rivers

2145
01:52:43,120 --> 01:52:45,439
Speaker 1: plays down the stretch. I think that Frank's got the

2146
01:52:45,520 --> 01:52:49,400
Speaker 1: pieces to win the division, but Rivers needs to step

2147
01:52:49,520 --> 01:52:51,960
Speaker 1: up his game and play well. In Tennessee is really

2148
01:52:52,000 --> 01:52:54,599
Speaker 1: well coached. I mean, their defense has taken a few

2149
01:52:54,680 --> 01:52:56,479
Speaker 1: hits the last couple of weeks. They had a tough

2150
01:52:56,560 --> 01:52:59,519
Speaker 1: run with all the COVID stuff. I think that Rabel

2151
01:52:59,560 --> 01:53:01,920
Speaker 1: will set them down and they'll be a factor. But

2152
01:53:02,040 --> 01:53:04,439
Speaker 1: I still think that the Cults are more talented than

2153
01:53:04,479 --> 01:53:06,920
Speaker 1: the Titans. They just need Rivers to step up and

2154
01:53:07,000 --> 01:53:10,439
Speaker 1: play well. Andrew, Thanks man, it's great seeing you enjoy

2155
01:53:10,520 --> 01:53:15,679
Speaker 1: the weekend and coverage of the Masters. Always great beer

2156
01:53:15,720 --> 01:53:18,479
Speaker 1: with you guys, and I hope to talk to you

2157
01:53:18,479 --> 01:53:21,559
Speaker 1: again soon. And maybe I could be a surprise teammate

2158
01:53:21,600 --> 01:53:24,080
Speaker 1: one day. Here we go, Yeah, that'll be and all

2159
01:53:24,160 --> 01:53:26,400
Speaker 1: my best of the guys, you know, with James and

2160
01:53:27,080 --> 01:53:30,360
Speaker 1: Goldie and those guys. All right, yeah, we'll do Thanks guys,

2161
01:53:30,400 --> 01:53:33,439
Speaker 1: All right, take care Andrew. Andrew Catalan from CBS Sports

2162
01:53:33,560 --> 01:53:38,280
Speaker 1: joining us here on one Bill's Live. It's some interesting

2163
01:53:38,400 --> 01:53:42,360
Speaker 1: insight on you know, this Cardinals team that we're gonna

2164
01:53:42,360 --> 01:53:47,479
Speaker 1: see on Sunday. The fact that the fact that Brian

2165
01:53:47,560 --> 01:53:52,520
Speaker 1: Flores said it's like Lamar Jackson in terms of preparation

2166
01:53:52,640 --> 01:53:56,600
Speaker 1: with Murray and the running threat. It's real, man, it

2167
01:53:56,880 --> 01:54:00,679
Speaker 1: is real. And I think he said that Flora City's

2168
01:54:00,720 --> 01:54:03,880
Speaker 1: even quicker than Lamar quicker and not necessarily straight line

2169
01:54:03,920 --> 01:54:06,760
Speaker 1: speed far can run. But here's the thing that gets

2170
01:54:06,880 --> 01:54:09,879
Speaker 1: and maybe it's I don't want he's a long angular

2171
01:54:10,240 --> 01:54:11,800
Speaker 1: I don't want to go down this rabbit hole too far.

2172
01:54:12,000 --> 01:54:16,599
Speaker 1: But the guys who are short and stocky and therefore

2173
01:54:16,680 --> 01:54:21,120
Speaker 1: have shorter legs, they can change directions easier. Well, they

2174
01:54:21,120 --> 01:54:23,720
Speaker 1: have a lower center of gravity exactly, and they got

2175
01:54:24,160 --> 01:54:28,320
Speaker 1: a shorter base to hit to hit, and their their

2176
01:54:28,360 --> 01:54:30,840
Speaker 1: feet are on the ground more because they turn over more.

2177
01:54:31,479 --> 01:54:36,440
Speaker 1: So that mechanically alone gives them the ability to have

2178
01:54:36,640 --> 01:54:39,919
Speaker 1: more feet on the ground in order to change direction.

2179
01:54:40,080 --> 01:54:43,120
Speaker 1: Because he almost looks like Barry Sanders sometimes exactly, And

2180
01:54:43,560 --> 01:54:45,640
Speaker 1: well that's why Barry was so good as well. He's

2181
01:54:45,680 --> 01:54:50,760
Speaker 1: a very low centered guy. So it's change of direction.

2182
01:54:50,800 --> 01:54:54,600
Speaker 1: And we've seen this too with Devin Singletary is a

2183
01:54:54,680 --> 01:54:57,160
Speaker 1: running back. He's not the straight line speed guy, but

2184
01:54:57,240 --> 01:54:59,720
Speaker 1: man oh man, he changed his direction like nobody's business

2185
01:54:59,760 --> 01:55:03,280
Speaker 1: and that what crushes defenses. And Kyler Murray's that same thing.

2186
01:55:03,400 --> 01:55:06,560
Speaker 1: He You may have three or four guys, not too many,

2187
01:55:06,640 --> 01:55:08,080
Speaker 1: but back three or four guys on the field and

2188
01:55:08,080 --> 01:55:10,680
Speaker 1: any given time they can out run Kyler Murray as

2189
01:55:10,760 --> 01:55:13,640
Speaker 1: fast as he is, but they can't change direction like that,

2190
01:55:13,960 --> 01:55:17,080
Speaker 1: and certainly not when they're in flat out pursuit. So

2191
01:55:17,400 --> 01:55:19,960
Speaker 1: it gives them. He gives him a huge edge when

2192
01:55:19,960 --> 01:55:22,680
Speaker 1: he's got the ball in his hand running down the field.

2193
01:55:23,600 --> 01:55:27,680
Speaker 1: He gets every single yard coming to him. And that's

2194
01:55:27,920 --> 01:55:31,360
Speaker 1: that's a really efficient way to play quarterback. And he

2195
01:55:31,560 --> 01:55:33,920
Speaker 1: takes off a lot. I mean, this guy is in

2196
01:55:34,000 --> 01:55:36,360
Speaker 1: the top ten in the league in rushing. I think

2197
01:55:36,360 --> 01:55:38,520
Speaker 1: he's eighth in the league in rushing. Yeah, I wonder

2198
01:55:38,560 --> 01:55:41,640
Speaker 1: how many attempts you know what I mean? Attempts? You

2199
01:55:41,680 --> 01:55:44,120
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. Because once in a while you'll

2200
01:55:44,120 --> 01:55:47,800
Speaker 1: see him do the quarterback read option. You know where

2201
01:55:47,840 --> 01:55:49,640
Speaker 1: he'll keep it. I mean there's even a highlight here

2202
01:55:49,680 --> 01:55:52,960
Speaker 1: in this Miami game where he does it. But a

2203
01:55:53,080 --> 01:55:56,560
Speaker 1: lot of these are you know, scrambles where he extends

2204
01:55:56,600 --> 01:55:59,240
Speaker 1: the play play action, play action, and then he'll tuck

2205
01:55:59,320 --> 01:56:01,880
Speaker 1: it and run or throw it. So I don't know

2206
01:56:02,000 --> 01:56:05,560
Speaker 1: how many attempts he's actually had called runs, but if

2207
01:56:05,640 --> 01:56:12,200
Speaker 1: he's in the top ten in the league strictly on scrambling, yeah,

2208
01:56:12,280 --> 01:56:15,920
Speaker 1: he has eighth in rushing and he's got the fewest

2209
01:56:16,000 --> 01:56:20,120
Speaker 1: rushing attempts of anybody in the top ten. Yeah, so

2210
01:56:20,360 --> 01:56:24,520
Speaker 1: here you go. Okay, real quick, Dalvin Cook leading the

2211
01:56:24,600 --> 01:56:27,080
Speaker 1: league and rushing he's average in almost six yards a carry,

2212
01:56:27,760 --> 01:56:29,840
Speaker 1: eight hundred and fifty eight yards one hundred and forty

2213
01:56:29,840 --> 01:56:32,880
Speaker 1: four carries. Okay, that's the leading four carries, one hundred

2214
01:56:32,920 --> 01:56:35,440
Speaker 1: forty four carries eight hundred and fifty eight yards for

2215
01:56:35,640 --> 01:56:40,000
Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook leads the league obviously in rushing yards. He

2216
01:56:40,200 --> 01:56:43,480
Speaker 1: leads the league in rushing average five point nine six

2217
01:56:43,960 --> 01:56:47,240
Speaker 1: and leads the league in rushing touchdowns with twelve. Okay,

2218
01:56:48,600 --> 01:56:55,560
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry, Josh jacobsp Plyed Edwards, Hilaire, Todd Gurley, James Robinson,

2219
01:56:56,120 --> 01:57:01,560
Speaker 1: Zeke Elliott, then Kyler Murray. Okay. The fewest carries in

2220
01:57:01,680 --> 01:57:05,080
Speaker 1: that group belongs to Clyde Edwards ala one hundred and

2221
01:57:05,160 --> 01:57:09,600
Speaker 1: twenty six carries for five hundred eighty six yards. There's

2222
01:57:09,680 --> 01:57:13,760
Speaker 1: nobody else under one hundred and thirty carries. Okay, Kyler

2223
01:57:13,880 --> 01:57:21,760
Speaker 1: Murray is twenty nine yards behind Ezekiel Elliott and he's

2224
01:57:21,800 --> 01:57:26,040
Speaker 1: got half the carries. Half Ezekiel Eli one hundred and

2225
01:57:26,080 --> 01:57:30,600
Speaker 1: fifty carries five hundred and seventy two yards. Kyler Murray

2226
01:57:31,360 --> 01:57:34,800
Speaker 1: seventy six carries for five hundred and forty three yards.

2227
01:57:34,960 --> 01:57:38,640
Speaker 1: He's averaging seven point one yards a carry, and he's

2228
01:57:38,640 --> 01:57:44,560
Speaker 1: got eight touchdowns on the ground. The guy can scoot

2229
01:57:46,120 --> 01:57:49,839
Speaker 1: seven point one per carry. That leads the league along

2230
01:57:49,960 --> 01:57:58,400
Speaker 1: of forty eight. Yeah, I think it just got real, Steve. Yeah,

2231
01:57:59,440 --> 01:58:01,680
Speaker 1: I'm telling man, he is a menace. I'm gonna have

2232
01:58:01,800 --> 01:58:05,480
Speaker 1: some stress this week. I'm intrigued to see what coach

2233
01:58:05,520 --> 01:58:08,240
Speaker 1: Fraser's gonna dial up this week, because you gotta have

2234
01:58:08,320 --> 01:58:12,200
Speaker 1: a philosophy. You gotta know that the guy's gonna crush you,

2235
01:58:12,320 --> 01:58:14,640
Speaker 1: and you almost gotta and here's what we've seen other

2236
01:58:14,680 --> 01:58:17,320
Speaker 1: teams do and the Bills do as well. You almost

2237
01:58:17,480 --> 01:58:22,360
Speaker 1: dare him to beat you with that offhand, right, So

2238
01:58:22,480 --> 01:58:24,600
Speaker 1: if you're gonna beat us, you're gonna beat us with

2239
01:58:24,720 --> 01:58:29,120
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray in the pocket and you're gonna beat us

2240
01:58:29,160 --> 01:58:34,760
Speaker 1: with you know, Larry Fitzgerald and DeAndre Hopkins. The ball's

2241
01:58:34,800 --> 01:58:37,560
Speaker 1: coming out, But how do you make that happen defensively?

2242
01:58:37,760 --> 01:58:40,920
Speaker 1: What do you do defensively to have Kyler Murray just

2243
01:58:41,240 --> 01:58:45,560
Speaker 1: throw it? And let's not forget this. The Arizona Cardinals

2244
01:58:46,040 --> 01:58:47,720
Speaker 1: do a lot of what the Bills do on offense,

2245
01:58:48,080 --> 01:58:52,320
Speaker 1: a lot of ten personnel, one back, four wides, So

2246
01:58:52,400 --> 01:58:55,600
Speaker 1: they're gonna test your secondary and push you to go

2247
01:58:55,760 --> 01:58:59,320
Speaker 1: deep into your corner contingent and say, can you cover

2248
01:58:59,400 --> 01:59:02,160
Speaker 1: all four of these guys? Can you cover DeAndre Hopkins?

2249
01:59:02,280 --> 01:59:05,120
Speaker 1: Can you cover Christian Kirk? Can you cover Larry Fitzgerald?

2250
01:59:05,520 --> 01:59:08,320
Speaker 1: You know? Can you cover trencher Field or Andy Isabella?

2251
01:59:09,080 --> 01:59:11,080
Speaker 1: You know? You got four guys who can cover all

2252
01:59:11,120 --> 01:59:13,920
Speaker 1: those guys? Because if you do, then you can come

2253
01:59:13,960 --> 01:59:18,400
Speaker 1: after my quarterback, um and and Steve. You can say

2254
01:59:18,520 --> 01:59:22,160
Speaker 1: spy all day long, but what are you spying him?

2255
01:59:22,160 --> 01:59:25,200
Speaker 1: With a safety you're put You're gonna put Isam McKenzie

2256
01:59:25,200 --> 01:59:27,520
Speaker 1: out there to spy him, Like, who's keeping up with

2257
01:59:27,600 --> 01:59:32,280
Speaker 1: that guy? I don't know, man, It's it's a quandary,

2258
01:59:32,440 --> 01:59:35,720
Speaker 1: It really is. It's a problem man, and and you

2259
01:59:35,760 --> 01:59:37,880
Speaker 1: know he's a problem for every who goes the Arizona card.

2260
01:59:37,920 --> 01:59:40,040
Speaker 1: I mean, that's their team and that's where the direction

2261
01:59:40,040 --> 01:59:41,400
Speaker 1: they're going. You got to come up with a new

2262
01:59:41,400 --> 01:59:43,720
Speaker 1: and different way to defend him. A guy with a

2263
01:59:43,760 --> 01:59:46,560
Speaker 1: who's a singular talent like Lamara Jackson or or on

2264
01:59:46,600 --> 01:59:48,760
Speaker 1: the other end of the spectrum like Peyton Manning. You

2265
01:59:48,840 --> 01:59:50,400
Speaker 1: got to come up with a way to defend him.

2266
01:59:50,640 --> 01:59:54,040
Speaker 1: And it'll be fun, I think for Bill's fans to

2267
01:59:54,160 --> 01:59:56,879
Speaker 1: come up to see what Leslie Fraser and Sean McDermott

2268
01:59:56,920 --> 02:00:00,280
Speaker 1: come up with as a philosophy and a tech nique

2269
02:00:00,320 --> 02:00:05,600
Speaker 1: and a tactic to make that guy throw the ball

2270
02:00:05,640 --> 02:00:08,600
Speaker 1: to your guys yeah, or fumble it away or go

2271
02:00:08,760 --> 02:00:11,680
Speaker 1: down in the backfield. Our Twitter poll has officially become

2272
02:00:11,800 --> 02:00:16,040
Speaker 1: Georgia thirty five point two to thirty five point two

2273
02:00:16,560 --> 02:00:18,840
Speaker 1: on the first two choices of what's the most likely

2274
02:00:18,920 --> 02:00:21,840
Speaker 1: formula for Bills victories going forward and why? And twenty

2275
02:00:21,880 --> 02:00:25,959
Speaker 1: eight point two for the write in candidate. Yes, that's amazing.

2276
02:00:26,120 --> 02:00:27,480
Speaker 1: All right, we have to take a break, but we

2277
02:00:27,560 --> 02:00:29,440
Speaker 1: are going to get more of your comments on the

2278
02:00:29,440 --> 02:00:32,480
Speaker 1: tweet sheet With this dead heat of a poll. This

2279
02:00:32,640 --> 02:00:36,600
Speaker 1: is exciting one Bill's Live. It's presented by Kalidah Health.

2280
02:00:36,640 --> 02:00:44,080
Speaker 1: We're back in a moment here on Buffalo Bill's Radio, Jester,

2281
02:00:44,560 --> 02:00:48,320
Speaker 1: final half hour of the program, and we're gonna get

2282
02:00:48,360 --> 02:00:50,280
Speaker 1: back to the tweet sheet brought to you by Corrigan

2283
02:00:50,360 --> 02:00:55,600
Speaker 1: Moving Systems. As this has been a heated poll, a

2284
02:00:55,720 --> 02:00:57,920
Speaker 1: dead heat if you will, in terms of what's the

2285
02:00:58,000 --> 02:01:01,160
Speaker 1: most likely formula for the Bills victories going forward. And

2286
02:01:01,600 --> 02:01:03,760
Speaker 1: you've been split almost down the middle on the first

2287
02:01:03,760 --> 02:01:07,400
Speaker 1: two choices, which was offense continues to air it out

2288
02:01:07,480 --> 02:01:11,720
Speaker 1: or defense takes a step forward. So um it is

2289
02:01:12,920 --> 02:01:16,240
Speaker 1: it is a tenth of a percent separating those two

2290
02:01:16,440 --> 02:01:20,040
Speaker 1: right now. As I don't know if the mail in

2291
02:01:20,120 --> 02:01:22,880
Speaker 1: ballots are being counted right now as opposed to the

2292
02:01:23,200 --> 02:01:26,120
Speaker 1: ones on social media. This is but this is not

2293
02:01:26,240 --> 02:01:32,280
Speaker 1: a presidential election, this one. But it feels like we

2294
02:01:32,520 --> 02:01:36,600
Speaker 1: count what we want to count. That's right from Nick.

2295
02:01:37,160 --> 02:01:40,040
Speaker 1: He says, in my opinion, if the defense can keep

2296
02:01:40,120 --> 02:01:43,720
Speaker 1: taking steps, be more consistent, and we get back all

2297
02:01:43,840 --> 02:01:46,880
Speaker 1: players healthy on the line along with John Brown, we'll

2298
02:01:46,880 --> 02:01:49,320
Speaker 1: have a good chance of victory in every game on

2299
02:01:49,520 --> 02:01:54,880
Speaker 1: the remaining schedule. Exclamation point. Nick is feeling good. Yeah,

2300
02:01:54,920 --> 02:01:57,040
Speaker 1: I mean that's yeah. If you can stay, if you

2301
02:01:57,080 --> 02:01:59,040
Speaker 1: can get healthy, it gives you a chance because you

2302
02:01:59,080 --> 02:02:00,880
Speaker 1: know a lot of teams won't be at that point.

2303
02:02:01,680 --> 02:02:03,640
Speaker 1: And even in fact that you look down the road

2304
02:02:03,680 --> 02:02:05,760
Speaker 1: and we've been talking about how these next four games

2305
02:02:05,840 --> 02:02:09,040
Speaker 1: for the Bills, Brownie are going to be absolutely you know,

2306
02:02:10,760 --> 02:02:14,360
Speaker 1: you know, a difference maker for the for the entire season.

2307
02:02:14,400 --> 02:02:17,200
Speaker 1: I mean, these you can beat all these teams, you

2308
02:02:17,320 --> 02:02:21,080
Speaker 1: really will raise some eyebrows. But the Los Angeles Chargers

2309
02:02:21,120 --> 02:02:23,800
Speaker 1: we play them in three weeks, the Niners in four weeks,

2310
02:02:24,000 --> 02:02:27,840
Speaker 1: the Steelers in five weeks. Tons of stuff can change

2311
02:02:28,160 --> 02:02:29,880
Speaker 1: in the midst of all of these weeks that are

2312
02:02:29,880 --> 02:02:33,400
Speaker 1: passing with COVID with injuries. The right guy gets injured,

2313
02:02:33,400 --> 02:02:36,280
Speaker 1: the wrong guy gets injured, both on the Bills side

2314
02:02:36,320 --> 02:02:38,240
Speaker 1: of the field and any of those other opponents on

2315
02:02:38,320 --> 02:02:40,960
Speaker 1: the side of the field. The Charger the Niners game

2316
02:02:41,040 --> 02:02:43,080
Speaker 1: doesn't look anything like it did at the beginning of

2317
02:02:43,120 --> 02:02:45,920
Speaker 1: the season because they've had like six guys go down

2318
02:02:46,280 --> 02:02:50,280
Speaker 1: within twelve sixteen guys go down with injuries, So we

2319
02:02:50,360 --> 02:02:51,960
Speaker 1: don't know what these games are gonna look like. When

2320
02:02:52,000 --> 02:02:56,839
Speaker 1: we actually get there. But nevertheless, if you show up healthy,

2321
02:02:57,600 --> 02:02:59,840
Speaker 1: you can bet none of those teams will be a

2322
02:03:00,280 --> 02:03:03,839
Speaker 1: percent healthy. Yeah. I mean, we just had Andrew Catalan

2323
02:03:03,880 --> 02:03:07,120
Speaker 1: on and he talked about Arizona. They had three starters

2324
02:03:07,160 --> 02:03:10,040
Speaker 1: on defense out, one dude to injury and two COVID

2325
02:03:10,120 --> 02:03:15,360
Speaker 1: reserve list, and they missed those guys. So yeah, I

2326
02:03:15,440 --> 02:03:17,960
Speaker 1: mean it's a factor and could be a factor for

2327
02:03:18,040 --> 02:03:21,080
Speaker 1: teams the rest of the way here as we see

2328
02:03:21,080 --> 02:03:26,160
Speaker 1: infection rate spiking everywhere. So yeah, the dynamics could change

2329
02:03:28,000 --> 02:03:31,200
Speaker 1: instantaneously in the course of the week. I mean, the

2330
02:03:31,320 --> 02:03:35,200
Speaker 1: Steelers come in on Monday and Ben Roethlisberger's on the

2331
02:03:35,280 --> 02:03:38,440
Speaker 1: COVID list because he's within close proximity to a close

2332
02:03:38,520 --> 02:03:42,040
Speaker 1: contact based on contact trace or based to a positive

2333
02:03:42,080 --> 02:03:45,200
Speaker 1: case based on contact tracing. Now, he could still come

2334
02:03:45,240 --> 02:03:47,879
Speaker 1: back for Sunday's game and time, provided he tests negative

2335
02:03:48,200 --> 02:03:50,600
Speaker 1: and can be back in five days, but he's not

2336
02:03:50,680 --> 02:03:54,240
Speaker 1: on the practice field today or tomorrow. So I mean,

2337
02:03:54,280 --> 02:03:58,320
Speaker 1: it can change your whole planning process and the drop

2338
02:03:58,360 --> 02:04:00,800
Speaker 1: of a hate. Cardinals lose by three, given up thirty

2339
02:04:00,880 --> 02:04:03,480
Speaker 1: four points to a rookie quarterback who didn't throw for

2340
02:04:03,520 --> 02:04:05,760
Speaker 1: one hundred yards the week before because they have three

2341
02:04:05,800 --> 02:04:08,280
Speaker 1: starters out on their defense. That makes a difference. You'd

2342
02:04:08,320 --> 02:04:10,240
Speaker 1: like to think that could make a three point difference

2343
02:04:10,280 --> 02:04:14,600
Speaker 1: in a game. Yeah. So, and like I said, we

2344
02:04:14,680 --> 02:04:16,240
Speaker 1: don't know what these teams are going to look like

2345
02:04:16,360 --> 02:04:20,880
Speaker 1: when we get there. Hopefully, you know. And it's a

2346
02:04:20,960 --> 02:04:24,160
Speaker 1: better week this week looking at the outlook injury wise

2347
02:04:24,240 --> 02:04:26,400
Speaker 1: for the Bills, so well, hopefully that gets better going

2348
02:04:26,440 --> 02:04:27,880
Speaker 1: forward because that for this week, they're going to get

2349
02:04:27,880 --> 02:04:30,000
Speaker 1: a bunch of guys back, I would think, And that's

2350
02:04:30,080 --> 02:04:32,920
Speaker 1: why they call it a week to week league, Steve

2351
02:04:33,600 --> 02:04:37,200
Speaker 1: from Brad on the tweet sheet, defense is starting to

2352
02:04:37,280 --> 02:04:39,920
Speaker 1: get back to what we are used to seeing. This

2353
02:04:40,120 --> 02:04:44,120
Speaker 1: team is becoming balanced and it's great. So I'm assuming

2354
02:04:44,200 --> 02:04:47,920
Speaker 1: that Brad voted for see more complimentary football because that

2355
02:04:48,160 --> 02:04:51,640
Speaker 1: is I mean, as prolific as the offense was last week,

2356
02:04:52,480 --> 02:04:55,600
Speaker 1: it was due in part to the efforts of the

2357
02:04:55,680 --> 02:04:58,240
Speaker 1: defense and not for nothing, the efforts of the special

2358
02:04:58,320 --> 02:05:04,040
Speaker 1: teams too. In terms of fe position sixteen points off turnovers, Steve,

2359
02:05:04,200 --> 02:05:08,480
Speaker 1: I mean, the Bill's offense scores twenty eight without four turnovers,

2360
02:05:09,080 --> 02:05:12,320
Speaker 1: not forty four, right right? And you know, and you

2361
02:05:12,360 --> 02:05:14,680
Speaker 1: don't win the football game. Sixteen points off turnovers in

2362
02:05:14,680 --> 02:05:18,520
Speaker 1: the game you win by ten, it's pretty important. You

2363
02:05:18,600 --> 02:05:23,640
Speaker 1: don't win games going minus four and takeaways. Well, and

2364
02:05:23,720 --> 02:05:26,120
Speaker 1: that's why I felt like Sunday's win was probably the

2365
02:05:26,200 --> 02:05:30,000
Speaker 1: most complete game this team has played this year. Offense, defense,

2366
02:05:30,040 --> 02:05:34,160
Speaker 1: special teams, like all three collectively, that's probably their best

2367
02:05:34,240 --> 02:05:36,480
Speaker 1: effort to see. But even having said that, even Andrew

2368
02:05:36,520 --> 02:05:38,320
Speaker 1: Catalan said, listen, I don't think they've played their best

2369
02:05:38,360 --> 02:05:40,480
Speaker 1: football yet, and I would agree with that. Certainly. Josh

2370
02:05:40,520 --> 02:05:42,480
Speaker 1: has had great days and days where he was great,

2371
02:05:42,520 --> 02:05:45,440
Speaker 1: but you know, the defense didn't put it all didn't

2372
02:05:45,440 --> 02:05:47,960
Speaker 1: put it all together. They still continue to struggle in

2373
02:05:48,000 --> 02:05:49,840
Speaker 1: the third quarter where they come out and they the

2374
02:05:49,880 --> 02:05:52,040
Speaker 1: first time they get a big turnover by their defense,

2375
02:05:52,120 --> 02:05:55,400
Speaker 1: and they go backwards offensively until Gabe Davis catches the

2376
02:05:55,440 --> 02:05:57,280
Speaker 1: fade route on the on the far side and cover

2377
02:05:57,400 --> 02:06:00,520
Speaker 1: two and almost gets in. That saved the saved him

2378
02:06:00,600 --> 02:06:04,240
Speaker 1: three points. Otherwise they're out of field goal range after

2379
02:06:04,400 --> 02:06:07,840
Speaker 1: taking over on the twenty five. And it was ridiculous

2380
02:06:08,240 --> 02:06:10,800
Speaker 1: the first series of downs for the Bills. Yeah, they

2381
02:06:10,840 --> 02:06:15,400
Speaker 1: threw it into our there reverse. Yeah, I mean they're yeah,

2382
02:06:16,000 --> 02:06:18,880
Speaker 1: somebody was on the Sean McDermott was making that boo

2383
02:06:19,200 --> 02:06:22,960
Speaker 1: boo boo on the sideline or backwards. It was crazy,

2384
02:06:23,760 --> 02:06:25,600
Speaker 1: but they did. They hit the they hit the shot

2385
02:06:25,640 --> 02:06:28,360
Speaker 1: to Gabe Davis, got it down and still couldn't punch

2386
02:06:28,400 --> 02:06:33,040
Speaker 1: it in from first and goal on the one. That's concerning,

2387
02:06:33,720 --> 02:06:36,600
Speaker 1: And you know so I'm I'm a kind of I'm

2388
02:06:36,640 --> 02:06:39,440
Speaker 1: with Andrew cattalong. They haven't played their best football, but

2389
02:06:39,560 --> 02:06:42,920
Speaker 1: they're playing good and they're playing good enough when other

2390
02:06:42,960 --> 02:06:45,560
Speaker 1: teams aren't playing their best football either, and that's been

2391
02:06:45,600 --> 02:06:47,920
Speaker 1: the difference for the Bills. They have showed up and

2392
02:06:48,240 --> 02:06:51,080
Speaker 1: made enough plays in crucial situations. They're seven and two

2393
02:06:51,200 --> 02:06:54,040
Speaker 1: and poised to go on a run against a really

2394
02:06:54,120 --> 02:06:57,840
Speaker 1: tough stretch of schedule. From Seth on the tweet sheet,

2395
02:06:58,240 --> 02:07:03,640
Speaker 1: I voted D the team takes another step forward. The

2396
02:07:03,840 --> 02:07:06,600
Speaker 1: offense will continue to roll if everyone can stay healthy,

2397
02:07:07,160 --> 02:07:10,400
Speaker 1: especially the line. If the defense can improve week to

2398
02:07:10,480 --> 02:07:15,480
Speaker 1: week and force turnovers regularly, this team will be unbeatable.

2399
02:07:15,960 --> 02:07:19,760
Speaker 1: Giving seventeen short fields to work with will lead to

2400
02:07:19,880 --> 02:07:26,120
Speaker 1: many more victories. That's from Seth. He wants total team football,

2401
02:07:26,280 --> 02:07:30,240
Speaker 1: so we voted for other when I mean essentially that's

2402
02:07:30,680 --> 02:07:33,200
Speaker 1: that's kind of answer. See in a way, play more

2403
02:07:33,280 --> 02:07:36,960
Speaker 1: complimentary football, meaning offense, defense, and special teams are working

2404
02:07:37,000 --> 02:07:39,680
Speaker 1: together and more of a total team effort. To a

2405
02:07:39,960 --> 02:07:42,920
Speaker 1: dead heat offense and defense. I think most people who

2406
02:07:43,680 --> 02:07:47,400
Speaker 1: I'll just take make a conjecture and make some make

2407
02:07:47,520 --> 02:07:52,320
Speaker 1: some conclusion, come to some conclusions just from the statistics.

2408
02:07:52,920 --> 02:07:55,400
Speaker 1: Most people who say the defense will take another step

2409
02:07:55,480 --> 02:08:00,600
Speaker 1: forward is what they're victories will likely look like going forward.

2410
02:08:00,840 --> 02:08:02,560
Speaker 1: The defense will take a step forward. I think that's

2411
02:08:02,600 --> 02:08:04,680
Speaker 1: because they're taking for granted this offense can move it

2412
02:08:05,240 --> 02:08:08,240
Speaker 1: and they can shift gears and score some points. And

2413
02:08:08,320 --> 02:08:10,200
Speaker 1: I think some people who are looking at the entire

2414
02:08:10,320 --> 02:08:12,240
Speaker 1: league saying, listen, the offense has got to stay hot,

2415
02:08:12,320 --> 02:08:14,040
Speaker 1: because that's what it's going to take to win this year.

2416
02:08:14,120 --> 02:08:17,240
Speaker 1: Everybody's scoring all kinds of points. Defense has become an afterthought,

2417
02:08:17,520 --> 02:08:20,480
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. Yeah, And there's it's a

2418
02:08:20,680 --> 02:08:24,120
Speaker 1: perfectly valid argument on both sides, and which is why

2419
02:08:24,160 --> 02:08:26,480
Speaker 1: it's a dead heat on our Twitter poll. And I've

2420
02:08:26,680 --> 02:08:30,440
Speaker 1: got the latest vote count here, inching forward offense stays

2421
02:08:30,520 --> 02:08:33,760
Speaker 1: hot through the air thirty five point four to thirty

2422
02:08:33,800 --> 02:08:39,640
Speaker 1: five point one, inching ahead with more votes trickling in here, Steve,

2423
02:08:39,760 --> 02:08:43,240
Speaker 1: John King, so bad, John King. Let's get the map up, Steve,

2424
02:08:43,560 --> 02:08:46,000
Speaker 1: get the little touch screen A B and C with

2425
02:08:46,360 --> 02:08:48,200
Speaker 1: and what would the wow? Would the map look It

2426
02:08:48,200 --> 02:08:50,240
Speaker 1: wouldn't look like, it wouldn't look like it would look

2427
02:08:50,280 --> 02:08:52,360
Speaker 1: like a charging buffalo. That would be the map, right,

2428
02:08:52,600 --> 02:08:54,600
Speaker 1: and we could use the bill's colors red and blue.

2429
02:08:54,840 --> 02:08:56,320
Speaker 1: Right there you go. We could have a lot of

2430
02:08:56,360 --> 02:08:58,840
Speaker 1: fun with that man. We should get him on one time,

2431
02:08:59,360 --> 02:09:02,160
Speaker 1: just for one the Twitter polls, get it knotted up,

2432
02:09:02,200 --> 02:09:04,440
Speaker 1: and then have him over by the big have him

2433
02:09:04,480 --> 02:09:08,720
Speaker 1: on the magic wall. Yeah, oh yeah, I like this idea.

2434
02:09:08,840 --> 02:09:10,920
Speaker 1: Wolf could help us out with that. He's a buffalo guy.

2435
02:09:10,920 --> 02:09:12,920
Speaker 1: I don't know. You could interrupt him every fifteen seconds.

2436
02:09:17,680 --> 02:09:21,600
Speaker 1: You're taking shots at everybody today. Look out, look out,

2437
02:09:21,840 --> 02:09:24,440
Speaker 1: hit the deck. All right, we have to take a break.

2438
02:09:24,720 --> 02:09:26,520
Speaker 1: When we come back, we'll find out if we learned

2439
02:09:26,560 --> 02:09:29,440
Speaker 1: anything from the show today. It's what have we learned?

2440
02:09:29,800 --> 02:09:31,840
Speaker 1: And we'll get to that when we return. As we

2441
02:09:31,960 --> 02:09:34,879
Speaker 1: wrap up a Wednesday edition of One Bills Live presented

2442
02:09:34,920 --> 02:09:50,600
Speaker 1: by Kalid to Health, It's Buffalo Bills Radio done for

2443
02:09:50,960 --> 02:09:53,720
Speaker 1: what have we learned? Brought to you by Skyworks, the

2444
02:09:53,840 --> 02:09:58,080
Speaker 1: official construction equipment rental company of the Buffalo Bills, and

2445
02:09:58,160 --> 02:10:01,800
Speaker 1: Steve we learned two things today. I believe it or not,

2446
02:10:01,960 --> 02:10:06,440
Speaker 1: this show can be educational. We learned that Kyler Murray

2447
02:10:06,560 --> 02:10:08,840
Speaker 1: is going to be a handful for Buffalo's defense from

2448
02:10:08,880 --> 02:10:11,600
Speaker 1: a running perspective, maybe even more than a passing perspective.

2449
02:10:12,040 --> 02:10:15,360
Speaker 1: But number two on the encouraging side, just in talking

2450
02:10:15,440 --> 02:10:18,840
Speaker 1: to Gary Gramling and Andrew Catalan today, who have both

2451
02:10:18,920 --> 02:10:23,440
Speaker 1: seen this Arizona team up close and personal, they don't

2452
02:10:23,480 --> 02:10:25,960
Speaker 1: match up well defensively with what the Bills can put

2453
02:10:26,000 --> 02:10:28,480
Speaker 1: out on the field with their four wide sets. So

2454
02:10:28,640 --> 02:10:31,600
Speaker 1: John Brown's health once again is going to be an

2455
02:10:31,640 --> 02:10:35,320
Speaker 1: important component of how the Bills choose to attack this

2456
02:10:35,560 --> 02:10:37,680
Speaker 1: Arizona defense. It looks like, once again the Bills are

2457
02:10:37,720 --> 02:10:39,320
Speaker 1: facing a team that is a lot like they have

2458
02:10:39,480 --> 02:10:41,440
Speaker 1: been in the first half of the season. Their offense

2459
02:10:41,600 --> 02:10:44,000
Speaker 1: is able to grind out points because they go deep

2460
02:10:44,080 --> 02:10:46,400
Speaker 1: in their wide receiver corps and force you to go

2461
02:10:46,560 --> 02:10:50,080
Speaker 1: deep into your secondary's depth, which is what the Bills

2462
02:10:50,120 --> 02:10:51,640
Speaker 1: have done to a lot of teams. You know, fortunate

2463
02:10:51,800 --> 02:10:53,440
Speaker 1: to go all the way down to guard Gabe Davis

2464
02:10:53,480 --> 02:10:57,080
Speaker 1: and some teams can't do it. Same thing with the Cardinals,

2465
02:10:57,120 --> 02:10:59,920
Speaker 1: they go ten personnel a lot. They've got Larry Fitzgerald,

2466
02:11:00,000 --> 02:11:03,000
Speaker 1: they've got DeAndre Hopkins, they've got some guys mis Jim Kirk,

2467
02:11:03,120 --> 02:11:05,520
Speaker 1: Andy Isabella, right, So they've got some guys and they're

2468
02:11:05,560 --> 02:11:08,320
Speaker 1: doing the exact same thing to their opponents as well,

2469
02:11:08,480 --> 02:11:10,640
Speaker 1: and the defenses are having a hard time keeping up.

2470
02:11:11,280 --> 02:11:14,040
Speaker 1: Both the Arizona and the Buffalo defenses are facing a

2471
02:11:14,120 --> 02:11:17,240
Speaker 1: lot of defense teams, a lot of false offenses that

2472
02:11:17,360 --> 02:11:20,200
Speaker 1: are desperate to keep up with the points that they're generating.

2473
02:11:20,280 --> 02:11:25,040
Speaker 1: So we'll see if this hasn't the earmarks of a

2474
02:11:25,120 --> 02:11:28,280
Speaker 1: shootout like we saw this last week. They don't always

2475
02:11:28,320 --> 02:11:30,520
Speaker 1: work out like that, and certainly it's going to be

2476
02:11:30,600 --> 02:11:33,040
Speaker 1: fun for Bills fans to find out how the Bills

2477
02:11:33,560 --> 02:11:35,840
Speaker 1: think they can defend a guy like Kyler Murray when

2478
02:11:35,880 --> 02:11:39,120
Speaker 1: so many other defenses have struggled consistently. We've seen been

2479
02:11:39,240 --> 02:11:41,400
Speaker 1: kind of proud of our defense's ability to hold teams

2480
02:11:41,440 --> 02:11:43,320
Speaker 1: down a little bit. Even if they don't shut them out,

2481
02:11:43,640 --> 02:11:46,680
Speaker 1: they do hold them under their season average a lot

2482
02:11:46,800 --> 02:11:48,840
Speaker 1: when teams have struggled against them. So it'll be fun

2483
02:11:48,880 --> 02:11:50,880
Speaker 1: to see that take place. Yeah, I'm trying to find

2484
02:11:51,120 --> 02:11:55,720
Speaker 1: very quickly the week ten over unders for twenty twenty.

2485
02:11:56,120 --> 02:11:57,480
Speaker 1: I don't know if I'm gonna pull it up. But

2486
02:11:57,520 --> 02:11:59,320
Speaker 1: it's not seventy eight like it ended up being the

2487
02:11:59,320 --> 02:12:01,680
Speaker 1: over under. Yeah, I haven't been able to find at

2488
02:12:01,720 --> 02:12:06,680
Speaker 1: a time. Yeah, it's no matter what it is. I

2489
02:12:06,800 --> 02:12:09,400
Speaker 1: think most people are gonna think this here. It is

2490
02:12:09,960 --> 02:12:12,840
Speaker 1: Cardinals favored by a point and a half over under

2491
02:12:12,960 --> 02:12:17,960
Speaker 1: fifty three and a half. So white the shootout, Yeah,

2492
02:12:18,080 --> 02:12:20,720
Speaker 1: somewhere in there, I think it's gonna be a little higher.

2493
02:12:20,720 --> 02:12:22,400
Speaker 1: I'll take the over. I think it might be like

2494
02:12:22,520 --> 02:12:24,760
Speaker 1: thirty four, thirty one, something like that. I do too.

2495
02:12:24,960 --> 02:12:26,840
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be up there. I think both

2496
02:12:26,880 --> 02:12:31,160
Speaker 1: teams are gonna probably hit thirty because, yeah, they both

2497
02:12:31,240 --> 02:12:33,280
Speaker 1: have similar strengths in that they can just deploy a

2498
02:12:33,360 --> 02:12:35,440
Speaker 1: whole bunch of receivers out there and show me you

2499
02:12:35,520 --> 02:12:38,280
Speaker 1: can cover them all. They go deep and their offenses

2500
02:12:38,400 --> 02:12:41,400
Speaker 1: stay on the field. Um, it'll be interesting to see. Um.

2501
02:12:41,600 --> 02:12:46,000
Speaker 1: But I'm with you, Brownie, I think take the over. Yeah. Well,

2502
02:12:46,040 --> 02:12:48,320
Speaker 1: I'm I'm not taking anything because I don't bet. I

2503
02:12:48,360 --> 02:12:50,520
Speaker 1: don't bet. I'm not a betting man. Stuff. I didn't.

2504
02:12:50,680 --> 02:12:56,400
Speaker 1: I have never ever done it, and I had starting now. Yeah,

2505
02:12:56,440 --> 02:12:59,320
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I work too hard. It's so that

2506
02:12:59,520 --> 02:13:02,600
Speaker 1: I would be absolutely busted. So actually, you should probably

2507
02:13:02,600 --> 02:13:04,160
Speaker 1: take the under now that I take the over, because

2508
02:13:04,160 --> 02:13:06,920
Speaker 1: you will be better off. Do what you will. Yes,

2509
02:13:08,040 --> 02:13:10,480
Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us here on a Wednesday edition of
