16
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:56,960
Speaker 1: A simple strike to step on Giggs on a little

17
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 1: slack to the left side. Yet another Buffalo passing nuts

00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:14,560
Speaker 1: fast from Josh Allen. He beat Josh Jackson, who just

23
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:16,760
Speaker 1: signed to their rocket to the end. Dude, that's almost

24
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:20,039
Speaker 1: too easier. He snapped the picket back to throw fires

25
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 1: one down the left side, picked off. He intercepted by

26

27
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:28,400
Speaker 1: He goes right down there, deond by Johnson. He intended

28
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:31,319
Speaker 1: to target and he touched it down stamp and they

29
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:33,160

32
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 1: yard touchdown run. He went right, he cut back left,

33
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 1: and there was nobody in front of him. All right,

34
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 1: you're Toshiba. Game rewind right out of the gate after

35
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 1: a scintillating Week five walloping of the Pittsburgh Steelers, Toshiba,

36
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 1: the official copier company of the Buffalo Bills, Welcome to

37
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 1: a Buffalo victory football Monday. We saw the fourteen points

38
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:11,119
Speaker 1: spread going into this game. We had a little trepidation

39
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 1: knowing how Mike Tomlin can get his team up for

40
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 1: games of that nature in the past. Steve, this is

41
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:21,519
Speaker 1: not the Steelers of even two seasons ago. This is

42
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 1: a bad football team all the way around. I don't

43
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 1: want to take anything away from the Bill's performance. It

44
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:29,399
Speaker 1: was masterful in every way, shape or form. There were

45
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 1: some hiccups along the way, the coach McDermott addressed postgame

46
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:36,519
Speaker 1: that do need to be cleaned up, mostly on offense,

47
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 1: with some misqus and a couple of special teams issues

48
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:46,360
Speaker 1: with the wind. Beyond that, though, a resounding victory and

49
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 1: good momentum heading into Kansas City Week. Yeah, that's not

50
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,800
Speaker 1: the That's not a typical Steelers team, and it's obvious

51
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:58,080
Speaker 1: they're gonna be down this year. I'll say this. I

52
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 1: like Kenny Pickett. Yeah, everybody you know obviously, I've been

53
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 1: talking about the game all yesterday and all day today

54
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 1: and you know, into the last night. Um. I like him.

55
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:11,520
Speaker 1: I Yeah, he was drafted right where he needed to be,

56
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 1: right in the first round. I'm not saying he's not

57
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 1: gonna take some time to develop. He's ready, but he

58
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 1: doesn't have much around him. Yeah, he's ready for NFL games, Yes, Um,

59
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 1: it's not too big for him. He seems poised. Fifty

60
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 1: starts in college. He knows what it takes to be

61
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 1: an NFL quarterbacker. Seems to know what it's gonna take. Um,

62
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:32,240
Speaker 1: standing in the pocket. You gotta win from the pocket. Ultimately,

63
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 1: certainly your legs can help you in certain situations, but

64
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 1: you got to win from the pocket. He's his offensive

65
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 1: line is atrocious, did not play well yesterday. His running

66
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 1: game isn't And for that reason, his running game isn't

67
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 1: what it is. You said it. Naji Harris is not

68
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 1: a breakaway back. He's a pludger. You know, he's plugging.

69
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 1: He trudges along and plump pummels your defense a little bit.

70
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 1: He's a short yardage back. Plug plug pludger is plotting

71
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 1: and plotting and trudging at the same time. Yes, you're

72
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 1: you're like my wife makes up. I'm gonna go with that.

73
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 1: Um point made h He's so he's by himself. Pick

74
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 1: it is a little bit, yeah, And receiving talent there,

75
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 1: there's some receiving talent there to you is I mean

76
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:17,280
Speaker 1: Pickens young player and he played well. He Deante Johnson

77
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:19,039
Speaker 1: made some great play and I'll say this too about

78
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 1: pick It. He knew who was working. He went right

79
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 1: at Kyer Elam one on one and he was making

80
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 1: him hay. He was making some hay. And that's the

81
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 1: sign of a young quarterback who says, listen, I got

82
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 1: something working. I ain't going away from until you stop it.

83
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 1: And finally, you know, Elam gets him. Um So I

84
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:39,839
Speaker 1: like that. That's a That's what I see in Pittsburgh.

85
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin's working with what he's trying to make chicken salad. Yeah,

86
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 1: and he doesn't have a lot of ingredients, right, and

87
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 1: he's you know, he's got this young quarterback he's trying

88
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:52,159
Speaker 1: to protect and develop. And that's that's the story of

89
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:54,359
Speaker 1: that of the season for them right now. Now it

90
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 1: might evolve away from this if pick It gets some

91
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 1: help and their offensive line gels a little bit, or

92
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:00,600
Speaker 1: they get a guy who plugged in who makes a

93
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 1: big difference for them on the offensive line, or something

94
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:04,920
Speaker 1: like that. Their wide receiver, like you said, they're wide

95
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 1: receivers are good enough to win games. So nevertheless, a

96
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 1: fourteen point spread coming into the game, I was like,

97
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:17,839
Speaker 1: I don't know, because I figured, you know, they'd do something.

98
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 1: They get some turnovers and all that, but their secondary

99
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 1: is decrepit. And plus you're fresh off two straight games

100
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 1: where the Bills were in very tight contests, so you're

101
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 1: not really reminded of the quick stability with which they

102
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:33,920
Speaker 1: can blow opponents out. And you and I just did

103
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 1: a podcast on how through the first month of the

104
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 1: season the Bills have been sacrificing their explosiveness on offense

105
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 1: for the sake of efficiency, due in part to how

106
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 1: defenses are playing them, you know, with the cover two

107
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:50,719
Speaker 1: shell and all of that stuff. And people are like, well,

108
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,600
Speaker 1: what happened yesterday? Well, the reason the Bills were so

109
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:57,280
Speaker 1: explosive on offense, I think had more to do with

110
00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 1: what the Steelers were incapable of as a defense. They

111
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 1: have no pass rush. I mean, it is not even recognizable.

112
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:09,279
Speaker 1: Think about this, Steve without t J. Watt there. Since

113
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 1: t J. Watt was drafted by the Pittsburgh Steelers in

114
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:16,480
Speaker 1: twenty seventeen, the Steelers have led the league in sacks

115
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:22,280
Speaker 1: every year twenty seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, twenty twenty one. Five

116
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:24,159
Speaker 1: years in a row they have led the league in

117
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 1: sacks that and he's a big part of that obviously,

118
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:31,679
Speaker 1: But they've had other people that chip in there, and

119
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know what's going on now,

120
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 1: but they got nobody. They got nobody. Over the course

121
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 1: of his career, TJ, the Steelers have failed to win

122
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 1: a game when he's out of the line there, and

123
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 1: now they're o and eight. He didn't miss many games

124
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 1: over the course of five years, but they're O and eight. Yeah,

125
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:52,679
Speaker 1: and he's gonna miss a couple of more weeks because

126
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:54,480
Speaker 1: it came out over the weekend that he also got

127
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 1: his knee scoped. So he's gonna miss like two more

128
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 1: more games. Oh, I heard, I heard, just ye, I

129
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 1: heard they did the scope because it not add time

130
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 1: to his Okay, it was originally reported by some of

131
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:06,160
Speaker 1: the national reporters for our NFL network that he might

132
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 1: miss another game or two because of it. But the

133
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 1: reason they did to knee now was because they knew

134
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 1: it would be it would be back quicker than so

135
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 1: it didn't add anytime. Well, that's good for them. And

136
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 1: then the second thing is, you know people are like, ah,

137
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 1: this this Bill's offense. Did they just scheme guys open?

138
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 1: They were running open everywhere yesterday. Well, the reason why

139
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 1: was because by the time you got to the second quarter.

140
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 1: The Steelers, who entered the game without one of their

141
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 1: tops two corners, lost Levi Wallace to a concussion, who

142
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 1: was their fourth corner, and then lost Cameron Sutton, their

143
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 1: second corner, to a hamstring injury. He reaggravated it. So

144
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 1: for three almost three quarters of that game yesterday, the

145
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 1: Steelers were using cornerbacks five, six, and seven. The practice

146
00:07:57,080 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 1: squad elevation on Saturday was played left cornerback for the

147
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 1: second half of that game. The only guy in there

148
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 1: was Minca Fitzpatrick. They just could not measure up. He

149
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 1: can't cover up that much. Kim could not and he's

150
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 1: not healthy either. Yeah, he left last week's game late

151
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 1: with a knee injury. So they're dragging themselves out there

152
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 1: to play. They were supremely shorthanded and the and the

153
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 1: fact of it is they don't have the same kind

154
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 1: of roster depth that we've witnessed from the Bills the

155
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 1: last three weeks when they've had to plug guys into

156
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 1: the starting lineup because of injury. That's why people believe

157
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 1: that top to bottom, the Bills have the best roster

158
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 1: in football and their ability to win despite an attrition

159
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 1: rate that's been alarming through the first five weeks of

160
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 1: the season. Quite frankly, is amazing. It is amazing. That's

161
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 1: I think that's the real that might be the story

162
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 1: the first five weeks is here for the Bills. Yeah,

163
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 1: I think it's winning despite the losses in injury they have.

164
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 1: They've because it's different than where they've been in years past.

165
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:00,440
Speaker 1: They're they're going four and one for worth year in

166
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 1: a row, and the other three years they were spotless

167
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 1: on their injury list, and this year yesterday had what

168
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 1: nine starters out where thereabouts from the beginning of the season,

169
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 1: he had poorer hide and the rest knocks Edmonds. Yeah,

170
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 1: the list went on and on, so um, it's yeah,

171
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:30,320
Speaker 1: that's the story that the Bill's roster is such and

172
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 1: I know that they taught. They spoke about it on

173
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:35,440
Speaker 1: the broadcast yesterday, Tony Romo and Jim Nance about what

174
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 1: Brandon Bean has built here, their ability to keep the

175
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:41,679
Speaker 1: door or the window open this you know this window

176
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:43,840
Speaker 1: everybody talks about your window for winning the Super Bowl.

177
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 1: Keeping it open for the foreseeable future. It's pretty I

178
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 1: think that's the story for the franchise that they've done

179
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 1: it in a way that people have not done it before. Yeah,

180
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:58,440
Speaker 1: think about the Rams right now. They went all in

181
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 1: last year, they at their Super Bowl title. Look at

182
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 1: them now. They don't have an offensive line that can

183
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:07,440
Speaker 1: do anything. Granted, they've had injuries too, but they don't

184
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 1: have the roster depth that the Bills do because they

185
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 1: mortgage the future with high price contracts. And yes, they've

186
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:15,440
Speaker 1: shed some of that because Odell Beckham Junior is not

187
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 1: there anymore. Neither is Von Miller, neither is Sebastian Joseph

188
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 1: Day who's in the Chargers organization now. But they're up

189
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:26,080
Speaker 1: against it and they don't have the depth to support

190
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 1: the quality of play on the field from their prime

191
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:32,840
Speaker 1: time players who they've paid boatloads of money and they're

192
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:36,680
Speaker 1: struggling right now. They lost another game yesterday to a

193
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 1: very good Dallas defense as Cooper Rush continues to impress.

194
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 1: That's a whole other story down there. But yeah, so

195
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 1: the Bill's ability to still win football games despite an

196
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 1: alarming rate of attrition due to injury. It might be

197
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:58,960
Speaker 1: the headline of the year so far for this team.

198
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:02,480
Speaker 1: As far as the performance yesterday by some of those

199
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:06,960
Speaker 1: guys who did step in Tyrell Dotson. What a game.

200
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 1: What a game yesterday, eleven tackles won for loss. He

201
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 1: also had a sack when he chased to pick it

202
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 1: out a bounce for a three yard loss. Those countess

203
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:21,560
Speaker 1: sacks just a really really solid performance. And I know

204
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:24,640
Speaker 1: you and I had suspected that it would be Dotson

205
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 1: against the Pittsburgh offense. You know that has a big powerback.

206
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 1: You want a sturdier, thicker guy in there, and Dotson

207
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 1: kind of fit that. Bill. I'm going to be very

208
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:36,720
Speaker 1: curious to see if Edmonds isn't ready to go this week,

209
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:39,079
Speaker 1: if it's gonna be Dotson, or if they're going to

210
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 1: elect to go coverage, better coverage skills and use Terrell Bernard.

211
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 1: Bernard came into that game in the fourth quarter filled

212
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 1: in for Matt Milano, got twenty five snaps. So that'll

213
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:53,080
Speaker 1: be something we'll be talking about later in the week.

214
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:55,200
Speaker 1: If it doesn't look like Edmonds will be ready to

215
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 1: return from a hamstring injury. Will know more when the

216
00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 1: Wednesday injury report comes out. You know, if you have

217
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:03,720
Speaker 1: to go, you know, into your depth again, do you

218
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:06,360
Speaker 1: go Dotson against a high flying Chiefs offense or do

219
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:09,760
Speaker 1: you go the coverage the guy with better coverage range,

220
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 1: I guess would be the best way to put it.

221
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to indicate that Dotson isn't an athlete.

222
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 1: He most certainly is. But Bernard, he's got sideline to

223
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 1: sideline range. It's pretty empretty stool, faster and a little

224
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:24,840
Speaker 1: more nimble in coverage, so that you'd think, and we

225
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 1: said it this week, although it didn't come to fruition

226
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:30,959
Speaker 1: that they were gonna get healthier, mostly notably Ed Oliver

227
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:33,319
Speaker 1: and Jordan Phillips upfront. Phillips had to come out of

228
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 1: the game and I didn't look too serious. It looked

229
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 1: you could tell when he reinjured his hamstring. I'm taking

230
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:41,079
Speaker 1: it for granted that he reinjured his hamstring. It was

231
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 1: listed as a hamstring, and it's the same one it's

232
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 1: so he stopped immediately and just got off the field.

233
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:52,000
Speaker 1: Knew his day was done, and I think and it's

234
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 1: no question it was a setback. We'll see how long

235
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:58,440
Speaker 1: it lasts, but it's not good. I wouldn't expect him

236
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 1: this week. I wouldn't either, and he maybe for the

237
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 1: depending on how big a setback it was. We'll see

238
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 1: about the packer game in two weeks, three weeks after

239
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 1: the bye. Yeah, I think after the bye he's got

240
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 1: a shot at that. But if you have to wait

241
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:19,920
Speaker 1: an extra week to be sure, it's gonna hold up

242
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 1: to the riggers of football, especially down there in the

243
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 1: trenches where you don't have recurrence of injury, because what

244
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:28,440
Speaker 1: happens is when you pull it or you strain it again,

245
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:33,120
Speaker 1: you reopen that muscle. It's bleeding internally. That's what happens

246
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 1: when you pull the muscle and the scar tissue has

247
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:39,480
Speaker 1: to kind of double all over again, start again. And

248
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:42,800
Speaker 1: scar tissue is not a great thing because it compromises

249
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:47,880
Speaker 1: the flexibility of the muscle and because scar tissue doesn't

250
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:50,960
Speaker 1: stretch it just so scar is over My point. Yeah,

251
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,840
Speaker 1: My point was that at times we thought and they

252
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 1: are at certain spots getting healthier, like on the D line.

253
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 1: Now then you lose Then what happens. Edmonds knocks out,

254
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:05,679
Speaker 1: McKenzie out. It's like, you know, so you may be

255
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:09,600
Speaker 1: getting healthier at spots, but that doesn't make you immune

256
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 1: to having it happened to other parts of your roster,

257
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:14,079
Speaker 1: which is what the bills are going through now. Um,

258
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:18,720
Speaker 1: you know, will they be healthier against Kansas City. It

259
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 1: seems so because there was only no aside from Phillips.

260
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think of who who got injured. Yes,

261
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 1: they got injured, yestion, I don't think I think they

262
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 1: came out of any pretty clean um. The scariest part

263
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:37,520
Speaker 1: about the entire day was Josh Allen taking it on

264
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 1: a quarterback power around the left end and got slammed.

265
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 1: It looked like his head was a ping pong ball

266
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:45,720
Speaker 1: off the off the turf, and I was like, I

267
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:47,560
Speaker 1: was worried. I thought, oh man that because it it

268
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 1: looked worse to me than the twa tackle by Milano

269
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:53,520
Speaker 1: two weeks ago. And he got up and was nice.

270
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 1: And then the next throw he made was over the

271
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:59,040
Speaker 1: top of Steph Diggs, and I was like, you know,

272
00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:03,600
Speaker 1: he not, you know, worried. But then for me, I

273
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 1: saw him. He ran to Diggs and they started talking

274
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:08,400
Speaker 1: about what he was seeing and what he expected Diggs

275
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:09,840
Speaker 1: to do, and then I felt a little bit better

276
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 1: about the whole scenario. So obviously no ill effects for

277
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:15,400
Speaker 1: Josh as he comes out of the game one hundred percent.

278
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 1: And but that's where they're at. They don't seem to

279
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:24,120
Speaker 1: be escaping injuries like they have in the last three years.

280
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 1: No telling if it's going to continue to get worse

281
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 1: or stay the same, or guys are goods gonna get healthy?

282
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:31,040
Speaker 1: Who knows. Yesterday was pretty good all things considered. With

283
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 1: the way the first four weeks have gone. They Phillips's

284
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:37,320
Speaker 1: Steelers up. The Steelers were not they were yesterday. They

285
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 1: were not, so they should have been if you'd known,

286
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:44,800
Speaker 1: yes if you've known yesterday what you know today. None

287
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:47,480
Speaker 1: of those guys play. It could have been fifty five

288
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 1: to three. They left seventeen points on the table, have

289
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:54,320
Speaker 1: been flat out. Josh missed another throw on the just

290
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 1: like the one to McKenzie and Miami where he threw

291
00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:59,080
Speaker 1: it into the dirt. He did the exact same thing

292
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 1: to Steph Diggs and same spot, same corner, the whole thing.

293
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:07,920
Speaker 1: And then of course the missed the block field goal

294
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:11,040
Speaker 1: by Tyler Bass. You never see that coming. And then

295
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:13,560
Speaker 1: they fumble it going into the end zone on a

296
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 1: short yardage play. Quintin Morris. That's seventeen points off on

297
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:22,840
Speaker 1: top of thirty eight they already did score. That's a

298
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:27,480
Speaker 1: fifty five point day what should have been. And I'll

299
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:30,520
Speaker 1: say this, if he if Josh Allen hits the shovel

300
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:33,160
Speaker 1: pass to Quintin Morris and he gets in and he

301
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 1: hits the pass to Diggs. Six touchdowns. See that. Here's

302
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:41,600
Speaker 1: the thing we all got, this thing about Josh being

303
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 1: the MVP. That's the kind of game you need. Those

304
00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 1: kind of games put you over there. Now, this game

305
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 1: was gonna help him. Ninety eight yard touchdown pass on

306
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 1: three quarters and threw for four hundred and twenty seven yards.

307
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:57,520
Speaker 1: Think about it, that he is. He had twenty completions

308
00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 1: and it was four hundred and twenty four yards compensions.

309
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 1: Listen to this. Of the of the offensive plays they ran,

310
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:10,120
Speaker 1: they averaged ten yards a play, ten point two two,

311
00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:14,160
Speaker 1: to be exact, over ten yards every time Mitch Morris

312
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:18,119
Speaker 1: gave Josh Allen the ball. It's ten point two yards

313
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:21,480
Speaker 1: of play. It's set a team record. Previous high was

314
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:24,359
Speaker 1: nine point three in the season finale in Seattle in

315
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:26,760
Speaker 1: two thousand. I was at that game with three a

316
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 1: three play scoring drive, a two play scoring drive, a

317
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:32,760
Speaker 1: one place scoring drive. That ten point two two yards

318
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:37,320
Speaker 1: per play average is the third highest in NFL history

319
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:42,359
Speaker 1: in a game. All Right, they're playing pretty good offensively, uh,

320
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 1: speaking of high averages, Gabe Davis shattered the team record

321
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:51,360
Speaker 1: for yards per catching a game fifty seven yards per

322
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 1: I can't even say it. Is it like minimum of

323
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 1: war average? Fifty yards? Isn't there? Some? Isn't there some

324
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 1: because it's laughable? Is there some kind of minimum catch

325
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:06,120
Speaker 1: like he had? Well, he had he had three catches

326
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 1: for Buck seventy one about Steve. So just think about

327
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:13,359
Speaker 1: this for a second. Think about this for just one second.

328
00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:17,879
Speaker 1: If Gabe Davis doesn't play yesterday, you're gonna look at

329
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:20,399
Speaker 1: the receiver stat sheet. You're gonna be like, how about that?

330
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:24,439
Speaker 1: Khalil Shakir, he averaged twenty five yards a catch, But

331
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:28,720
Speaker 1: it doesn't even register on the radar because Gabe average

332
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:34,840
Speaker 1: fifty seven. They still can't say it the picture of

333
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 1: the year. Let me say, if you haven't seen it,

334
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:39,119
Speaker 1: if you can't go on social media, look for this.

335
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:41,960
Speaker 1: There's a picture on social media where Josh had He

336
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:43,960
Speaker 1: throws the ball, gets whacked and he's on his back.

337
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 1: He didn't see Gabe catch it. He gets up, sees

338
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:49,320
Speaker 1: Gabe running by himself down the field. He turns around

339
00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 1: and flexes to the crowd to the tunnel end of

340
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:55,040
Speaker 1: the end zone crowd. He's like facing away from the field.

341
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:58,480
Speaker 1: They take a picture of him from behind from inside

342
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:00,920
Speaker 1: the end zone end line, so they're looking at Josh's face.

343
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:03,399
Speaker 1: In the background, you see the scoreboard. Gabe Davis is

344
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:05,399
Speaker 1: still on the twenty yard line. He's not even scoring,

345
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:09,520
Speaker 1: and Josh's flexing. It is absolutely spectacular. It's like the

346
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:14,280
Speaker 1: Lebron James picture with Dwayne Wade where Dwayne Wade has

347
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:16,920
Speaker 1: got his arms out running under the basket and Lebron's

348
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:20,680
Speaker 1: behind him tomahawking the slam dunk. It is exactly like that.

349
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:23,920
Speaker 1: It is and it is the picture of the year.

350
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:28,760
Speaker 1: It is unbelievable and you didn't really think about it

351
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:32,000
Speaker 1: at the time, but Josh got hit in the mouth

352
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 1: right on that place and he went down and he

353
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:38,679
Speaker 1: got it was and they were off to the races.

354
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:42,280
Speaker 1: I was like, oh my guys, it's gonna be another

355
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:44,520
Speaker 1: one of those games. Like in the opening opening day

356
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:47,960
Speaker 1: of last year. They come out, they they muff the

357
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:52,720
Speaker 1: opening kickoff and they get it on their two yard line. Well,

358
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:54,800
Speaker 1: and then they overcome it. Then they come out again,

359
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:58,520
Speaker 1: they punt it. Shaki or Shakir can't get the ball,

360
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:01,320
Speaker 1: he muffs it, doesn't field the punt, It goes down

361
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:04,160
Speaker 1: two yard line. Again, they get a field goal blocked.

362
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:07,680
Speaker 1: A special team struggled, they get a field goal block.

363
00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 1: And then unbelievably, Saran Neil, who who's really good, Stone

364
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:18,879
Speaker 1: hands a punt from Sam Martin who bounces high inside

365
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:20,359
Speaker 1: the five yard All you gotta do is catch it

366
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:23,680
Speaker 1: and he drops it, kicks it into the end zone.

367
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:25,440
Speaker 1: Now they get the ball in the twenties to the

368
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:29,560
Speaker 1: five or the two or the one. Special teams struggled yesterday,

369
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:34,879
Speaker 1: struggled yesterday. Not schematic except for the I think the

370
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:36,880
Speaker 1: kick was low when it came off Bass his foot.

371
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:40,200
Speaker 1: But but you know, it's individual plays. I mean, Shakier

372
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:42,280
Speaker 1: has got to feel the pace, got to field the

373
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:46,800
Speaker 1: punt when it's coming down. And then of course Taiwan

374
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 1: Jones has got a you know, the opening kickoff, Bro,

375
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:52,639
Speaker 1: you gotta field it. So those are individual plays. It

376
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:55,080
Speaker 1: wasn't really a schematic thing that got him. So and

377
00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:57,920
Speaker 1: I were talking about the Bass field, Well, it's forty

378
00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:00,760
Speaker 1: nine yards into a stiff wind. I mean the streamers

379
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:02,840
Speaker 1: on the top of the uprights were blowing straight at him.

380
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:05,479
Speaker 1: So I think he felt he had to really drive

381
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 1: the ball into that wind. We've seen balls drop like

382
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:11,000
Speaker 1: they hit a wall five yards in front of those

383
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:14,960
Speaker 1: uprights before on windy days, and I think Bass knew

384
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:16,600
Speaker 1: we really had to put a little extra on it.

385
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:18,919
Speaker 1: The problem is when you do that as a kicker,

386
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:24,240
Speaker 1: you inadvertently lower the trajectory of the kick by driving

387
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:28,119
Speaker 1: the ball, you know, with your laces. So when you

388
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:31,160
Speaker 1: do that, you can fall victim to it getting blocked.

389
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 1: And if you look at the height of that ball

390
00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:35,680
Speaker 1: when it reaches the line of scrimmage, it maybe six

391
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:38,240
Speaker 1: inches above the player's helmets. I mean it was ripe

392
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 1: to be blocked. So I'm sure he'll work on that

393
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:44,080
Speaker 1: going forward. His only two misses this year, Steve have

394
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:49,040
Speaker 1: been blocks, one in Miami and the one yesterday. Let's

395
00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:51,480
Speaker 1: talk about the rookies for a second. The draft class

396
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:55,919
Speaker 1: with a nice showing yesterday. Khalil Shakir three catches seventy

397
00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 1: five yards, also had a nice return for thirty three

398
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 1: yards up the left side ide line and got his

399
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:05,680
Speaker 1: first touchdown of his career. James Cook comes in in

400
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:10,280
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, nice improvisation on a cutback run away

401
00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:12,440
Speaker 1: from the flow of the play and then weaves his

402
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:15,399
Speaker 1: way through the secondary for what was that a twenty

403
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:20,119
Speaker 1: four yard Yeah, And Kayer Elam, who was getting picked

404
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:22,320
Speaker 1: on for most of the first half by Kenny Pickett,

405
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:26,000
Speaker 1: picks a pass off on a miscommunication between Pickett and

406
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:30,640
Speaker 1: his intended receiver and comes up with his first career interception.

407
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:35,840
Speaker 1: Those three guys, they're gonna be helping this team an

408
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:37,720
Speaker 1: awful lot come the second half of the season. And

409
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:39,760
Speaker 1: I think Shakier is going to get a lot more

410
00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 1: time on the field and may even challenge McKenzie for

411
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:45,440
Speaker 1: that full time role in the slot. And think about this,

412
00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:48,800
Speaker 1: with the guys struggling to field kicks, Shakier being one

413
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:50,680
Speaker 1: of them and then the other one being Taiwan Jones

414
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:54,560
Speaker 1: and whoever else they had out there, Mackenzie's good at it,

415
00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:57,479
Speaker 1: So you might bring him back, put him back there

416
00:22:57,600 --> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 1: returning kicks, put Shakier in a slot and let him

417
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:02,480
Speaker 1: trade plays, you know what I mean. Then you don't

418
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:05,800
Speaker 1: have to mess that much with your roster. Tanner Gentry

419
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:07,879
Speaker 1: got on the field a little bit yesterday. Josh mentioned

420
00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:10,640
Speaker 1: him in his post game. Hodgens had a nice day

421
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:14,320
Speaker 1: with four catches for forty one yards along of twenty

422
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:17,480
Speaker 1: six played well. He's got to feel good for him.

423
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:22,920
Speaker 1: We mentioned Dodson and Dodson Johnson stepping in Damar Hamlin's

424
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 1: second year player playing extremely well back there, so they

425
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:28,920
Speaker 1: feel good. They gotta feel good about the guys there

426
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:33,000
Speaker 1: that are you know, the depth of the squad, you know,

427
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:35,439
Speaker 1: you just think, man, they really have built a really

428
00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:40,200
Speaker 1: solid football team. And they continue to do it every

429
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:43,240
Speaker 1: They refurbish it every year. I think if you look

430
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:45,959
Speaker 1: back at it, this this thing that they do a

431
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:48,560
Speaker 1: lot of. They sign all these guys these one year deals,

432
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:51,560
Speaker 1: good money, nice money for these guys for a one

433
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:53,600
Speaker 1: year deal, and they bet let them bet on themselves,

434
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:55,720
Speaker 1: so they get highly motivated players. We've talked about it

435
00:23:55,720 --> 00:24:01,600
Speaker 1: a lot. The thing that's amazing, Brownie is they find

436
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:04,720
Speaker 1: really good players and do every year. They refurbish more

437
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:07,280
Speaker 1: of their roster with important players than anybody else. Think

438
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:10,720
Speaker 1: more importantly, they know how to find self motivated players,

439
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:13,040
Speaker 1: players where you're not going to be wondering, am I

440
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:14,480
Speaker 1: going to get out of this guy what I got

441
00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:16,040
Speaker 1: out of the guy who's number one on the depth chart?

442
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:18,480
Speaker 1: Am I gonna get the same thing from him now.

443
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:22,280
Speaker 1: So you have self motivated players that you add to

444
00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:27,040
Speaker 1: your roster, so you look for that within their character makeup,

445
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 1: and then you pair that with a coaching staff that

446
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:34,960
Speaker 1: is the best player development coaching staff I've seen since

447
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:40,879
Speaker 1: maybe your head coaches days. And that's a recipe for

448
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:44,600
Speaker 1: keeping the performance on the field strong even if the

449
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:48,760
Speaker 1: health of your roster is not. Yeah. Yeah, And that's

450
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:51,680
Speaker 1: what we are witnessing exactly right now. And it's even better.

451
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:54,360
Speaker 1: It's even It works even the same way that even

452
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:56,880
Speaker 1: when these guys are forced to play because of injury

453
00:24:56,960 --> 00:25:01,480
Speaker 1: or whatever, when they get out there, they continue to

454
00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:04,960
Speaker 1: get better. The next week. Their week two game is

455
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:07,080
Speaker 1: better than their week one game, their week three games

456
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:08,960
Speaker 1: better than their week two game. They just continue to

457
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:10,960
Speaker 1: get better. And of course when they play more, they

458
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:15,480
Speaker 1: get better faster. Damar Hamlin and Jiquan Johnson perfect example.

459
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:18,920
Speaker 1: Those guys can go there. They played very well yesterday.

460
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:20,960
Speaker 1: Now it was a rookie quarterback and all, you know,

461
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 1: all that stuff, and they're playing behind a front that

462
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:28,240
Speaker 1: Poyer and Hyde haven't played behind for three or four years.

463
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:34,200
Speaker 1: This front is different with Vaughan Phillips, ed Rousseau, Boogie

464
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 1: basham epinessa. Those guys are really getting it done up

465
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:39,320
Speaker 1: front and that helps them. But they have they have

466
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:44,639
Speaker 1: played starting quality football. The game was not without a

467
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:50,600
Speaker 1: little wwe At the end, Shack Lawson hits Kenny Pickett low,

468
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:54,119
Speaker 1: which technically is roughing the passer these days. It was

469
00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:57,320
Speaker 1: not called, but Pickett took issue with it. His knee

470
00:25:57,320 --> 00:26:00,480
Speaker 1: did bend awkwardly when Jack hit him around the ankle

471
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:05,399
Speaker 1: and took umbrage to that hit and got into it

472
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:09,160
Speaker 1: with Shack. And then lineman piled in to protect their quarterback,

473
00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:11,280
Speaker 1: you know, as you would expect a team to do.

474
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:17,840
Speaker 1: And then Aj Epanessa, after the initial bruhaha had subsided,

475
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:24,000
Speaker 1: was grabbed by head referee John Hussey. And I don't

476
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:26,680
Speaker 1: know if Aj realized it was the official grabbing him.

477
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:28,680
Speaker 1: He thought it might have been a player from the Steelers,

478
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:31,320
Speaker 1: and he tried to shrug. Oh, he slapped him off.

479
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:35,400
Speaker 1: He tried to shrug him off, and he elbowed the ref. Yeah,

480
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:37,159
Speaker 1: And as you well know, Steve, as soon as you

481
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:40,119
Speaker 1: make contact with an official, they're really sensitive about that.

482
00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:42,720
Speaker 1: You're gonna get ejected. And that's what he had his

483
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:45,680
Speaker 1: back to the official official had grabbed a hold of him,

484
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:49,800
Speaker 1: and AJ swiped him off with his left arm hard

485
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:53,199
Speaker 1: and got a piece of him. And he did and

486
00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:55,400
Speaker 1: Hussey was mad. Oh he was hot. He was hot.

487
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:57,760
Speaker 1: And I was like, dude, what he did? He did?

488
00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:01,240
Speaker 1: I guess your day really been the difficult. I get it.

489
00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:06,080
Speaker 1: But if if a player was really doing that to you,

490
00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:09,440
Speaker 1: the last thing you want to do is like call

491
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:11,400
Speaker 1: you know, you know what I mean. Here's the thing.

492
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:14,720
Speaker 1: If he really thought a Japanessa was gonna get physically

493
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:18,960
Speaker 1: aggressive with him, he wouldn't be he wouldn't have a

494
00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:21,360
Speaker 1: chance to take his hat off and throw it at him.

495
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:24,359
Speaker 1: He'd be dead, you know what I mean. I mean

496
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:28,240
Speaker 1: he AJ thought he was somebody else. He thought he

497
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:29,639
Speaker 1: was one of the players. He still in the scrumb

498
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:32,560
Speaker 1: So but Hussey was mad. Oh my gosh, was he mad.

499
00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:34,920
Speaker 1: And he was like like you so, you know, it

500
00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:39,000
Speaker 1: was kind of a self righteous moment for him, and

501
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:42,560
Speaker 1: Ajponess was like, he didn't even so here's the iron,

502
00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:45,199
Speaker 1: It's like, what are you doing? So I saw I

503
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:47,120
Speaker 1: was coming down the tunnel to get ready for post

504
00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:50,320
Speaker 1: game when all that had occurred. So I see Shock

505
00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:53,600
Speaker 1: coming up the tunnel. He didn't get ejected from the game. Yeah,

506
00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:56,959
Speaker 1: he's not officially disqualified. Wasn't just ran up the tunnel.

507
00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:01,760
Speaker 1: Um and then AJ followed him, well see here, and

508
00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:03,480
Speaker 1: he was shrugging his shoulders. He didn't know why he

509
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:05,320
Speaker 1: got tossed, but he must not know the rule. You

510
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:08,320
Speaker 1: bump an officially, you're gonna get ejected that you're done. Yeah,

511
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:11,959
Speaker 1: and that's but Shaq didn't get thrown out. And then

512
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:13,840
Speaker 1: and the tail tale signed. Take it from a guy

513
00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 1: who knows you have to get escorted out right, somebody's

514
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:19,280
Speaker 1: gotta walk out. You've gotta gotta leave, and they gotta

515
00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:21,280
Speaker 1: make sure you leave. So the club always has some

516
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:23,639
Speaker 1: you know, one of their guys walk up, which is

517
00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:28,160
Speaker 1: what happened to Aj. Yeah, and but Shaq just walk out. Yeah,

518
00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:30,280
Speaker 1: he just went up. And I think he assumed he

519
00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:33,080
Speaker 1: got ejected too, because he's thinking, oh, if they ejected

520
00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:37,320
Speaker 1: ajt me anytime you didn't anytime you throw a punch

521
00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:43,560
Speaker 1: or take a swipe open handed or clothes handed, Uh,

522
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:46,680
Speaker 1: whether you make contact or not, it's an automatic ejection.

523
00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:48,960
Speaker 1: I didn't see Shaq do that. I grab it. He

524
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:53,040
Speaker 1: didn't see it. But down inside in the in the scrum.

525
00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:56,040
Speaker 1: He probably did it. Oh you think he did or

526
00:28:56,960 --> 00:28:58,840
Speaker 1: thinks that's why he got thrown out anyway, because of

527
00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:02,040
Speaker 1: the whole thing. Because what ever. Yeah, so listen to this.

528
00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:04,240
Speaker 1: I saw this tweeted, and I wish I could remember

529
00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:06,120
Speaker 1: who did it. I want to say it's NFL Networks,

530
00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:10,480
Speaker 1: Tom Pillazero, but I'm not sure. John Hussey has now

531
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:13,640
Speaker 1: ejected two players in each of the last two weeks,

532
00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:21,800
Speaker 1: and he has five player ejections this season. Is he's

533
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:25,840
Speaker 1: just he's like a baseball umpire man. You're out of here.

534
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:31,120
Speaker 1: You're out just spending guys to the showers left and right.

535
00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:34,160
Speaker 1: John Hussy. Look out, he's got the big thumb and

536
00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:38,320
Speaker 1: he's tossing you. Maybe this doesn't make sense to a

537
00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:40,320
Speaker 1: lot of people because I get asked about it all

538
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:42,040
Speaker 1: the time because I got thrown out of my last game.

539
00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:46,120
Speaker 1: I don't have a problem with that. I don't have

540
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:48,520
Speaker 1: a problem with, you know, having a high standard for pay,

541
00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:51,920
Speaker 1: all about decorum. Me being a yeah, me being a

542
00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:54,640
Speaker 1: five nine less than two hundred pound athlete. Yeah, keep

543
00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:56,600
Speaker 1: those big guys away from me if they're mad, right,

544
00:29:56,640 --> 00:30:00,240
Speaker 1: so you can throw them out. But I don't have

545
00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:03,560
Speaker 1: a problem with that. The problem, you know, the problem

546
00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:08,160
Speaker 1: I have is when they're inconsistent with it, and I

547
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:10,360
Speaker 1: think that's most players and coaches are. I you're gonna

548
00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:11,640
Speaker 1: call it this way, just call it that way all

549
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:13,920
Speaker 1: the time. That's fine. Call it whatever you want if

550
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:15,800
Speaker 1: you want. If a guy sneezes when he's down his

551
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:17,760
Speaker 1: three point stands and you throw him out, it's fine.

552
00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:19,160
Speaker 1: But just call it that way all the time. It

553
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:21,280
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. Just make the rules whatever you want. I

554
00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:24,480
Speaker 1: don't nobody cares. Just call him the same game to game.

555
00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:28,200
Speaker 1: Like the Tom Brady roughing the passer yesterday. The whole

556
00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:30,760
Speaker 1: league and all the media are all up in arms

557
00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:33,239
Speaker 1: about it because it was a bad call, and it

558
00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:36,040
Speaker 1: was a bad call. It shouldn't have been called. And

559
00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:40,920
Speaker 1: it costs Atlanta game, Yes it did. It costs the

560
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:43,520
Speaker 1: Atlanta Falcons a game, and it cost them first place

561
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:49,520
Speaker 1: in the NFC South. Well, welcome to the club. You know,

562
00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:53,040
Speaker 1: every team, every team, every team's had it happened to him.

563
00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:55,360
Speaker 1: And I'm not belittling it or did, but it's just like, okay,

564
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:57,280
Speaker 1: and you got all these guys. Peter King, our friend

565
00:30:57,320 --> 00:30:59,400
Speaker 1: Peter King said Hey, the league can't afford too many

566
00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:03,400
Speaker 1: days like this. Well, you know what, I think they can.

567
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:05,160
Speaker 1: And let me tell you something. They're gonna happen again.

568
00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:07,080
Speaker 1: It's gonna happen again. It's gonna happen this year where

569
00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:10,880
Speaker 1: somebody will make a call it'll be at least borderline,

570
00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:13,880
Speaker 1: if not blatantly wrong. It'll cost somebody a chance to

571
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:16,920
Speaker 1: win the game, or it'll give somebody a chance to

572
00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:19,920
Speaker 1: win the game, and they will because of it. And

573
00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:23,480
Speaker 1: it happened again this year. Yeah. So and it was

574
00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:25,640
Speaker 1: Tom Brady. So we all just like turn you know

575
00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:29,760
Speaker 1: your inside. It makes you sick, all right, but it's

576
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:34,160
Speaker 1: the way it is. Man. Yeah, I feel bad for

577
00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:37,840
Speaker 1: AJ getting tossed. Yeah, NFL Networks Tom Pella Sero did

578
00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:42,080
Speaker 1: say that EPINESSA isn't expected to be suspended. It'll be

579
00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:45,080
Speaker 1: reviewed for a possible fine. Along with the rest of

580
00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:50,719
Speaker 1: the incidents, AJ was not the most egregious. Somebody had

581
00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:53,200
Speaker 1: a hold of Shack's face mask and was pulling on

582
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:57,040
Speaker 1: it for a good fifteen seconds, right, Like that's dangerous

583
00:31:57,200 --> 00:31:59,800
Speaker 1: In a meleet, you're pulling the guy's head straight down

584
00:31:59,840 --> 00:32:04,680
Speaker 1: like this from behind. That's like, that's dangerous. You can

585
00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:08,160
Speaker 1: mess somebody's neck up really fasting. Yeah, it's it's rough

586
00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:11,280
Speaker 1: and they're not good. It's from and yeah. So if

587
00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:14,120
Speaker 1: aj Epinessa gets fine, which I don't think he will

588
00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:16,400
Speaker 1: because of the nature of what he was doing when

589
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:18,160
Speaker 1: he did it and all that, and it was the

590
00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:21,440
Speaker 1: way it asious, and then the other guys in the

591
00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:26,959
Speaker 1: melee don't get fined. Yeah, that's that's that should not

592
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:29,880
Speaker 1: have in my opinion, it shouldn't happen. Right, Well, we'll

593
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:31,680
Speaker 1: see what comes of it. We'll see if any FedEx

594
00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:35,560
Speaker 1: packages arrive on Thursdays. That's usually the day that players

595
00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:39,000
Speaker 1: get notified of fines that they are incurring. These these

596
00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:41,920
Speaker 1: games happen when you know it's thirty eight to three. Yeah,

597
00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:44,080
Speaker 1: got there, and the Steelers have got a lot of

598
00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:47,520
Speaker 1: pride and rightfully so that stuff's going to happen. We

599
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:50,040
Speaker 1: have to take a break here, but plenty more coming

600
00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:52,800
Speaker 1: your way. And we're also interested in taking your biggest

601
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:56,840
Speaker 1: takeaways from the Steelers lost to the Bills to the

602
00:32:56,880 --> 00:32:59,760
Speaker 1: tune of thirty eight to three. So if you have

603
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:03,160
Speaker 1: any primary thoughts about the performance yesterday, please share them

604
00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:05,120
Speaker 1: with us. Eight oh three, oh five fifty one, eight eight,

00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:07,320
Speaker 1: five fifty two, five fifty or on the tweet sheet

606
00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:10,920
Speaker 1: at one Bills Live. Plenty more coming your way, including

607
00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:16,080
Speaker 1: the run game showing signs of life, and the run

608
00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:20,520
Speaker 1: defense pretty dang good yesterday. We'll get into that when

609
00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:23,040
Speaker 1: we return here on one Bill's Live, presented by Kalaida Health,

Speaker 1: collision repair center of the Buffalo Bills. All right, we

620
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:18,320
Speaker 1: got to get back to this game yesterday, Bills Steelers,

621
00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:21,080
Speaker 1: and let's talk a little bit about the run game

622
00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:25,040
Speaker 1: and the run defense. Steve. We know last week was

623
00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:27,520
Speaker 1: kind of a unique challenge for the Bills run defense

624
00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:31,360
Speaker 1: with Lamar Jackson, and they gave up under in sixty

625
00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:33,680
Speaker 1: two yards on the ground to the Ravens won the

626
00:34:33,680 --> 00:34:37,879
Speaker 1: football game. But this week back to what we've seen

627
00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:42,120
Speaker 1: for the most part this season. In five games, the

628
00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:46,120
Speaker 1: Bills have now held their opponents to under sixty yards

629
00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:50,000
Speaker 1: rushing in three of them. The run defense looks like

630
00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:54,200
Speaker 1: it's got staying power. Yeah, it does. And the reason

631
00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:56,680
Speaker 1: being they've got they're deep, they got a lot some

632
00:34:56,719 --> 00:35:00,600
Speaker 1: big bodies down inside that are playing well, and yesterday

633
00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:05,400
Speaker 1: is no exception. Plus Steelers don't run it well, which helps.

634
00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:07,959
Speaker 1: Their line is not very good. Yeah that helps. And

635
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:13,400
Speaker 1: I don't know that the Dolphins ran it all that well.

636
00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:16,600
Speaker 1: You know, you just some of that goes into even

637
00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:18,360
Speaker 1: at this early stage of the season. You're getting to

638
00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:20,040
Speaker 1: the point where you look at a good job against

639
00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:21,840
Speaker 1: the Titans. But they did a nice job against the

640
00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:24,640
Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans. And the Rams didn't really attempt to run

641
00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:28,280
Speaker 1: it very much. They threw its sixty times, So we'll see,

642
00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:33,040
Speaker 1: but I think it gets to the point where they

643
00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:37,399
Speaker 1: are so sometimes this Bills defensive line overmatt overpowers THEO line.

644
00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:39,600
Speaker 1: Once in a while, and they get some penetration and

645
00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:41,760
Speaker 1: the team says, listen, we ain't banging our head against

646
00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:44,120
Speaker 1: that wall. Yea, we are not getting it done there

647
00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:45,839
Speaker 1: are We're going to do something else. There are going

648
00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:50,240
Speaker 1: to be some interesting challenges for the run defense later

649
00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:53,680
Speaker 1: on this season. Cleveland, Okay, they know how to run

650
00:35:53,719 --> 00:36:00,360
Speaker 1: the football. New England Romandre Stevenson went off yesterday in

651
00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:03,520
Speaker 1: a twenty nine nothing win for the Patriots over the Lions.

652
00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:08,120
Speaker 1: He went off, and they can run the ball. And

653
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:12,160
Speaker 1: then the other team that I might put in that

654
00:36:12,239 --> 00:36:15,200
Speaker 1: equation as well is the Packers, if they ever decide

655
00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:17,600
Speaker 1: to commit to the run a little bit more. They're

656
00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:21,400
Speaker 1: late in that game against the Giants in London yesterday, Steve,

657
00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:24,800
Speaker 1: and they're down in the red zone, the low red zone,

658
00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:28,320
Speaker 1: and they just put it in Aaron's hands four straight times.

659
00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:30,880
Speaker 1: And I understand why back to back MVP and all that,

660
00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:33,680
Speaker 1: but you don't run it even once you got Aaron

661
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:37,200
Speaker 1: Jones and AJ Dillon. There's a couple of other teams

662
00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:40,560
Speaker 1: on that list on the Bills schedule now that you're thinking, okay,

663
00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:44,040
Speaker 1: maybe they're running the Jets. Yeah, Jets are Breece Halls.

664
00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:46,880
Speaker 1: Ball is a beast, and Michael Carter is not a

665
00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:50,279
Speaker 1: bad pass catching, you know, late third down guy either.

666
00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:52,960
Speaker 1: And you got those guys twice coming, and you got

667
00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:55,480
Speaker 1: New England twice. And I'll tell you this, I know

668
00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:58,400
Speaker 1: since Nai took it on the chin last night, but

669
00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:01,719
Speaker 1: Mixing can go. He is a really good running back

670
00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:04,600
Speaker 1: and they like to run it using him. So they

671
00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:06,680
Speaker 1: are going to run into some teams that are at

672
00:37:06,719 --> 00:37:10,480
Speaker 1: least committed to trying to run the football, and they've

673
00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:13,680
Speaker 1: shown some ability to do it on a regular basis.

674
00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:18,680
Speaker 1: I can't believe I'm saying that about the Jets. I

675
00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:22,080
Speaker 1: almost choked on it. But I had the Jets at

676
00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:27,439
Speaker 1: seven wins this year. I'm you keep saying, I'm confident. Yeah,

677
00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:30,399
Speaker 1: I think they could get there. Got twelve games left.

678
00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:35,680
Speaker 1: They only gotta win four. Yeah, I know, they only

679
00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:39,279
Speaker 1: got to win four. Steve, I hear you. Let's just

680
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:43,600
Speaker 1: gonna beat the Bears. They could beat the Broncos. The

681
00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:46,759
Speaker 1: Jets have the Packers this week, that's probably not a win.

682
00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:48,920
Speaker 1: Then the all right, but then they got the Broncos.

683
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:50,879
Speaker 1: They could beat that team, even on the road. New

684
00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:55,480
Speaker 1: England and the Buffalo Bills. Yeah, I mean that's they

685
00:37:55,560 --> 00:37:58,000
Speaker 1: get up for New England. They're gonna get up for

686
00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:00,400
Speaker 1: us too. Well. Yeah, but they're not beating the Bills,

687
00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:03,480
Speaker 1: come on, all right, but their defense the Patriots, the Bills,

688
00:38:03,560 --> 00:38:06,759
Speaker 1: the buye the Patriots. Yeah, you think they can split

689
00:38:06,840 --> 00:38:10,279
Speaker 1: one of those games? I think they could split with

690
00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:12,239
Speaker 1: New England. I don't think You don't think they could.

691
00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:14,760
Speaker 1: I don't think so. I think the New England Patriots

692
00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:17,120
Speaker 1: will film their practices, steal their game plan and pirate

693
00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:22,919
Speaker 1: their defensive sis. So beat them their defense. But listen,

694
00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:26,640
Speaker 1: then they have the Bears and Vikings. A subsequent years,

695
00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:29,040
Speaker 1: they're gonna beat the Bears. Their defense is coming along.

696
00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:30,920
Speaker 1: Here Steves beat the Bears, and I think they can

697
00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:32,799
Speaker 1: beat the Vikings too. Is good to the Vikings are

698
00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:35,480
Speaker 1: playing and then they get you know, you get the Lions,

699
00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:39,960
Speaker 1: the Lions Jacksonville, see the Seahawks and the Miami Dolphins. Okay,

700
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:43,560
Speaker 1: so yeah, and they're and they're doing it a little shorthanded.

701
00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:47,000
Speaker 1: There's three and two leaves in second place in the AFC.

702
00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:49,759
Speaker 1: East Man, I'm telling you, I think they can get

703
00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:52,640
Speaker 1: to seven. I think they could do it. Oh, I

704
00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:55,359
Speaker 1: think I think they will get to Yeah, I said

705
00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:58,160
Speaker 1: that at the beginning of the year they had ten heads.

706
00:38:58,239 --> 00:39:00,080
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna I think they're gonna find in

707
00:39:00,200 --> 00:39:03,839
Speaker 1: a way to get there. How about Michael Carter after

708
00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:08,480
Speaker 1: scoring trolling Jalen Wattle, He's doing his waddle touchdown celebration

709
00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:16,640
Speaker 1: in the end Zoo. I'm just gonna say this, Steve,

710
00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:21,319
Speaker 1: the Dolphins deserve everything that's been handed to them in

711
00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:26,760
Speaker 1: the last two weeks. They deserve it all. Yeah, Tyree

712
00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:30,680
Speaker 1: Hill in a walking boat. It's really starting. You're not starting,

713
00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:33,760
Speaker 1: but having to play your third string rookie quarterback after

714
00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:37,319
Speaker 1: what was a one snap offensively, you deserve all of it,

715
00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:41,160
Speaker 1: im for doing what you did to your starting quarterback

716
00:39:41,160 --> 00:39:43,360
Speaker 1: in Week three, putting them back in the game, you

717
00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:46,480
Speaker 1: deserve all the karma that is coming your way. I

718
00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:51,120
Speaker 1: have a hard time disagreeing with that. And their fans

719
00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:56,759
Speaker 1: are annoying, West, I mean, even more so now than

720
00:39:56,760 --> 00:39:59,160
Speaker 1: the Patriot fans are. At least they're they're quiet for

721
00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:01,879
Speaker 1: the time being. Some traction for the Bills run game.

722
00:40:01,920 --> 00:40:03,839
Speaker 1: They beat the Bills, so they were they were all

723
00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:10,279
Speaker 1: feeling it. But man, oh man, this is probably artificially

724
00:40:10,320 --> 00:40:13,880
Speaker 1: inflated to some degree. But the run game find some

725
00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:20,200
Speaker 1: traction yesterday. I thought the blocking execution was better in

726
00:40:20,239 --> 00:40:22,839
Speaker 1: the run game yesterday, which allowed some of those run

727
00:40:22,840 --> 00:40:26,520
Speaker 1: plays to pop. Yeah, and they're not going. If there's

728
00:40:26,560 --> 00:40:29,080
Speaker 1: one thing that the Steelers do still have, it's a

729
00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:33,080
Speaker 1: pretty good run front. It's not great. But anytime you

730
00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:36,239
Speaker 1: got Tyson to Lulu and Cameron Hayward in there, I

731
00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:41,160
Speaker 1: mean you got something. The schemes they were running yesterday,

732
00:40:41,200 --> 00:40:44,920
Speaker 1: and Romo alluded to it, they were doing the pin

733
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:46,560
Speaker 1: and pull thing where you had, like, at one point

734
00:40:46,640 --> 00:40:49,680
Speaker 1: you had Mitch Morris and Ryan Bates pulling out and

735
00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:52,120
Speaker 1: leading to sweep around the right end kind of thing.

736
00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:54,279
Speaker 1: So they were getting out in front. And the fact

737
00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:58,080
Speaker 1: that they were getting out there and making some really

738
00:40:58,160 --> 00:41:01,600
Speaker 1: nice blocks was the difference in that running game. They

739
00:41:01,600 --> 00:41:03,680
Speaker 1: were just getting it done. I don't know whether they

740
00:41:03,680 --> 00:41:05,920
Speaker 1: haven't been doing that very much. I can't even think about,

741
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:07,840
Speaker 1: you know, the schemes they've been running of late, but

742
00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:11,600
Speaker 1: they were executing those run plays, and if you do that,

743
00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:14,879
Speaker 1: sure the running back can find run to daylight. It'll

744
00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:17,839
Speaker 1: be interesting to see how they see their running back

745
00:41:17,880 --> 00:41:21,319
Speaker 1: stable developing. Zack Moss coming out of the Bill's own

746
00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:24,359
Speaker 1: end zone after the down punt on the two yard line,

747
00:41:24,760 --> 00:41:26,560
Speaker 1: had a lot of room, comes out around the corner

748
00:41:26,560 --> 00:41:29,640
Speaker 1: and just absolutely went down fell. Yeah, he just tripped.

749
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:33,759
Speaker 1: Only carry the game seven yards, I get it. I

750
00:41:33,760 --> 00:41:38,480
Speaker 1: mean so, and then you know, James Cook comes in

751
00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:40,760
Speaker 1: and he's starting to make some hay. So we'll see

752
00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:43,080
Speaker 1: how that if that continues to evolve. But there's no

753
00:41:43,160 --> 00:41:46,160
Speaker 1: question the lead dog is Devin Singletary, and I don't

754
00:41:46,200 --> 00:41:48,839
Speaker 1: think that's going to change. Singletary with six carries for

755
00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:51,759
Speaker 1: forty two yards, Cook with four for thirty one, Zach

756
00:41:51,840 --> 00:41:55,080
Speaker 1: Moss one for seven. Josh Allen had five carries for

757
00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:58,120
Speaker 1: forty two yards. The long of the day was Cook's

758
00:41:58,160 --> 00:42:00,640
Speaker 1: twenty four yard running the fourth quarters, Ingletary had a

759
00:42:00,640 --> 00:42:03,880
Speaker 1: twenty three yard long and Josh had a twenty one

760
00:42:03,960 --> 00:42:08,880
Speaker 1: yard run. Quickly, if you look at the big plays

761
00:42:09,040 --> 00:42:12,400
Speaker 1: in this game alone, Steve, just to show you the

762
00:42:12,520 --> 00:42:15,759
Speaker 1: difference between what the Bill's offense is capable of right

763
00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:19,279
Speaker 1: now in Pittsburgh. Longest plays for the Bills, I'll give

764
00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:23,560
Speaker 1: you their top five longest plays. Ninety eight yard touchdown,

765
00:42:23,600 --> 00:42:27,000
Speaker 1: sixty two yard touchdown, both to Davis. Then the forty

766
00:42:27,040 --> 00:42:31,800
Speaker 1: one yard passed to Diggs, the thirty eight yard run

767
00:42:32,239 --> 00:42:37,680
Speaker 1: by Singletary which got penalized or had it counts as

768
00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:39,200
Speaker 1: a thirty eight yard run because it was a twenty

769
00:42:39,200 --> 00:42:41,560
Speaker 1: three yard run and a fifteen yard personal foul penalty,

770
00:42:42,040 --> 00:42:44,840
Speaker 1: and then the thirty one yard pass from Allen to

771
00:42:44,920 --> 00:42:47,080
Speaker 1: Shakir at the beginning of the game on the first

772
00:42:47,160 --> 00:42:51,319
Speaker 1: drive or on the second possession. Sorry, those are your

773
00:42:51,360 --> 00:42:55,960
Speaker 1: top five plays. Sixty two, forty one, thirty eight, thirty one.

774
00:42:56,040 --> 00:43:00,280
Speaker 1: They were all longer then the Steeler's longest play from image,

775
00:43:00,280 --> 00:43:04,120
Speaker 1: which was twenty nine yards pick it to Pickens. Then

776
00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:06,480
Speaker 1: they had two other plays if twenty yards or more,

777
00:43:06,560 --> 00:43:10,200
Speaker 1: that was it. Steelers are in a dark place right now,

778
00:43:10,239 --> 00:43:12,120
Speaker 1: and with Tomlin at the helm, they'll find their way

779
00:43:12,160 --> 00:43:13,440
Speaker 1: out of it. But I don't know if it's going

780
00:43:13,480 --> 00:43:15,239
Speaker 1: to happen for them this year. I really don't. They're

781
00:43:15,280 --> 00:43:17,600
Speaker 1: just they're too shorthanded, they're too beat up, they don't

782
00:43:17,600 --> 00:43:19,920
Speaker 1: have roster depth. It's gonna be a long season for them.

783
00:43:20,239 --> 00:43:22,160
Speaker 1: But pick It is a could be a bright spot

784
00:43:22,160 --> 00:43:24,560
Speaker 1: for them going forward because it looks like he's got

785
00:43:24,560 --> 00:43:27,759
Speaker 1: the goods. We have to take a break here, but

786
00:43:27,840 --> 00:43:30,200
Speaker 1: your phone calls are next eight oh three, oh five fifty.

787
00:43:30,440 --> 00:43:32,359
Speaker 1: You're on one Bills Live, presented by Kellett to Health.

788
00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:52,400
Speaker 1: It's Buffalo Bills Radio. All right, welcome back time for

789
00:43:52,520 --> 00:43:55,960
Speaker 1: Triple Red seven's Hottest Plays of the Game, presented by

790
00:43:55,960 --> 00:43:58,000
Speaker 1: the New York Lottery. We're gonna go a little touchdown

791
00:43:58,040 --> 00:44:02,120
Speaker 1: happy here, starting with that ninety eight yard to Alan

792
00:44:02,280 --> 00:44:05,799
Speaker 1: to Davis, Steve Yeah, Play of the weekend, third and

793
00:44:06,160 --> 00:44:12,080
Speaker 1: ten ten boom Diggity. Alan throws it, gets hit, stand

794
00:44:12,239 --> 00:44:14,560
Speaker 1: has time to stand up, flex to the crowd while

795
00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:17,160
Speaker 1: Gabe Davis is still running it in that was That

796
00:44:17,360 --> 00:44:19,200
Speaker 1: is a stress reliever for a lot of Bills fans.

797
00:44:19,200 --> 00:44:21,120
Speaker 1: You get that quick touchdown, it's like, oh okay, now

798
00:44:21,200 --> 00:44:25,520
Speaker 1: we can breathe. In the second one, it happens again,

799
00:44:25,840 --> 00:44:29,040
Speaker 1: Josh Allen dropping back, throwing over the top Gabe David

800
00:44:29,040 --> 00:44:31,880
Speaker 1: and I'll listen. I gotta I missed this one. You

801
00:44:31,880 --> 00:44:34,160
Speaker 1: didn't see it. I had my I was you know

802
00:44:34,200 --> 00:44:35,600
Speaker 1: what I mean, in the bathroom. I was getting a

803
00:44:35,600 --> 00:44:40,600
Speaker 1: cup of coffee and I turn around and crowds going crazy,

804
00:44:40,640 --> 00:44:42,359
Speaker 1: added my back to the TV. Even I go, wait

805
00:44:42,400 --> 00:44:45,399
Speaker 1: what happened? And I saw him at the very end,

806
00:44:45,440 --> 00:44:47,200
Speaker 1: backing up out of the end zone with the ball

807
00:44:47,239 --> 00:44:48,960
Speaker 1: in his hand. I go nice. I had no idea

808
00:44:49,040 --> 00:44:52,600
Speaker 1: the one handed catch and the fight with Minca Fitzpatrick,

809
00:44:52,680 --> 00:44:56,360
Speaker 1: which I tip your hat to Gabe Davis because Minca

810
00:44:56,400 --> 00:45:00,839
Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick can play. He's probably their best defensive play right now.

811
00:45:00,880 --> 00:45:04,120
Speaker 1: It's got his arm right in there. Gabe's got both

812
00:45:04,120 --> 00:45:11,319
Speaker 1: hands and Jess won't let it go. Manka just can't

813
00:45:11,320 --> 00:45:14,759
Speaker 1: get it. Last one the rookie Khalil Shakir twenty four

814
00:45:14,800 --> 00:45:18,279
Speaker 1: yards score. This was nice because Shakir inside on a

815
00:45:18,320 --> 00:45:21,280
Speaker 1: cluster formation on the right, he takes an inside release,

816
00:45:21,600 --> 00:45:23,760
Speaker 1: comes all the way across the formation and he leaks

817
00:45:23,800 --> 00:45:27,000
Speaker 1: out the backside and there's nobody over there, no safety help,

818
00:45:27,080 --> 00:45:28,880
Speaker 1: know nothing, and Josh has lofts it out there. And

819
00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:31,440
Speaker 1: that was the If you think about the play, Josh

820
00:45:31,520 --> 00:45:33,759
Speaker 1: put a little bit of air underneath it. Almost a

821
00:45:33,800 --> 00:45:35,799
Speaker 1: little too much, Yeah, almost a little too much. She

822
00:45:35,840 --> 00:45:37,319
Speaker 1: had to wait on it, and it would have been

823
00:45:37,400 --> 00:45:39,799
Speaker 1: nice for to be another yard and a half maybe

824
00:45:39,880 --> 00:45:42,479
Speaker 1: ahead of where Shakir caught it, but man oh Man,

825
00:45:43,520 --> 00:45:46,720
Speaker 1: Jess gets over the top of the dB and Shakier

826
00:45:46,840 --> 00:45:51,239
Speaker 1: walks in three great throws, three great plays. Yep, those

827
00:45:51,239 --> 00:45:54,480
Speaker 1: are bills thirty one to three at the half. Those

828
00:45:54,520 --> 00:45:56,719
Speaker 1: are your Triple Red Seven's Hottest plays of the Game,

829
00:45:56,760 --> 00:46:01,560
Speaker 1: presented by the New York Lottery. So Steve I was

830
00:46:01,600 --> 00:46:04,720
Speaker 1: talking to Gabe Davis in the locker room after and

831
00:46:05,239 --> 00:46:09,440
Speaker 1: he said he knew before the snap that he could

832
00:46:09,440 --> 00:46:12,360
Speaker 1: get he could out leverage the safety because he thought

833
00:46:12,360 --> 00:46:15,839
Speaker 1: where the safety was a line pre snap, he could

834
00:46:15,840 --> 00:46:18,960
Speaker 1: get inside of Levi Wallace and out leverage the safety

835
00:46:18,960 --> 00:46:20,640
Speaker 1: if Josh put the ball in the right place. And

836
00:46:20,680 --> 00:46:23,320
Speaker 1: that's exactly what happened, because the safety helped came way

837
00:46:23,360 --> 00:46:26,400
Speaker 1: too late for Levi. The safety got caught looking at

838
00:46:26,400 --> 00:46:29,080
Speaker 1: the crossing rather underneath route and the or the inside

839
00:46:29,160 --> 00:46:32,479
Speaker 1: route and just had his shoulders a little too flat

840
00:46:32,520 --> 00:46:34,400
Speaker 1: to line scrimags didn't open his hips to run with

841
00:46:34,440 --> 00:46:36,640
Speaker 1: Gabe at all, and by then it was too late.

842
00:46:37,160 --> 00:46:40,800
Speaker 1: And you know, I mean, Gabe Davis isn't ISAIH McKenzie

843
00:46:40,880 --> 00:46:42,879
Speaker 1: or Tyree Hill or any of those guys. But when

844
00:46:42,920 --> 00:46:45,520
Speaker 1: you lose your leverage like that, you're done. Gabe Davis

845
00:46:45,520 --> 00:46:47,279
Speaker 1: in a full gallop and the ball was right on

846
00:46:47,320 --> 00:46:49,440
Speaker 1: the money. Let's go to the phones at eight oh three,

847
00:46:49,680 --> 00:46:52,680
Speaker 1: five fifty, and we lead off today with Judy and Buffalo.

848
00:46:52,680 --> 00:46:58,040
Speaker 1: What do you have for his Judy? Three things you know? Inverbally,

849
00:46:58,520 --> 00:47:05,400
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson's compared to Josh Allen, and invariably Lamar Jackson

850
00:47:05,440 --> 00:47:08,400
Speaker 1: seems to come out as the better player. Well, you

851
00:47:08,480 --> 00:47:12,160
Speaker 1: watch the Ravens game yesterday. He had three or two

852
00:47:12,200 --> 00:47:18,239
Speaker 1: wide receivers open, well open, and overthrew them by by

853
00:47:18,280 --> 00:47:23,920
Speaker 1: five yards each second. Every time I watched the Kansas

854
00:47:23,960 --> 00:47:28,040
Speaker 1: City Chiefs, I see that there's something very peculiar about

855
00:47:28,160 --> 00:47:33,279
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes helmet am I just imagining this third. You

856
00:47:33,320 --> 00:47:37,680
Speaker 1: know last week you were talking about leg cramps. I

857
00:47:37,840 --> 00:47:40,920
Speaker 1: found anytime I have a leg cramp, I immediately get up,

858
00:47:41,560 --> 00:47:44,840
Speaker 1: put pressure on that one leg, and the pain disputes

859
00:47:45,040 --> 00:47:49,759
Speaker 1: dissipates immediately. Yeah, that's all all right, Judy, appreciate the

860
00:47:50,320 --> 00:47:53,640
Speaker 1: advice as well as the observations. I will say this,

861
00:47:53,760 --> 00:47:57,480
Speaker 1: Your point on Lamar Jackson is bang on. I watched

862
00:47:57,560 --> 00:48:00,719
Speaker 1: that game. I watched the overthrows. M R. Jackson is

863
00:48:00,760 --> 00:48:05,040
Speaker 1: a supremely talented quarterback. He doesn't come close to the

864
00:48:05,120 --> 00:48:08,320
Speaker 1: consistency that Josh has on the field within the scope

865
00:48:08,320 --> 00:48:10,960
Speaker 1: of the passing game. And dare I say there are

866
00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:15,480
Speaker 1: times where Lamar Jackson is not clutch on a gotta

867
00:48:15,560 --> 00:48:19,040
Speaker 1: have it play, he doesn't have it. Sometimes I say

868
00:48:19,440 --> 00:48:21,400
Speaker 1: blank period. I don't want to I don't want to

869
00:48:21,480 --> 00:48:24,600
Speaker 1: kill Lamar Jackson because of last night's game. Certainly he

870
00:48:25,320 --> 00:48:27,719
Speaker 1: missed on a couple of deep throws, on a couple

871
00:48:27,719 --> 00:48:30,200
Speaker 1: of deep throws that it's like, oh wow, you can't

872
00:48:30,239 --> 00:48:32,680
Speaker 1: miss those, Steve. They win the game. They won the game,

873
00:48:33,120 --> 00:48:35,360
Speaker 1: and it'll get pooh pooed a little bit in the media.

874
00:48:35,480 --> 00:48:38,800
Speaker 1: But he missed some guys last night that were wide open.

875
00:48:39,040 --> 00:48:41,279
Speaker 1: But let's not forget the quarterback here in Buffalo did

876
00:48:41,280 --> 00:48:44,920
Speaker 1: that yesterday too. He did so, but not usually when

877
00:48:44,960 --> 00:48:47,200
Speaker 1: the game's on the line. When the game's on the line,

878
00:48:47,400 --> 00:48:49,840
Speaker 1: make that. You can say that, But I'm taking seventeen

879
00:48:50,239 --> 00:48:53,200
Speaker 1: every single time over Lamar Jackson because I'm gonna say this,

880
00:48:54,400 --> 00:48:57,600
Speaker 1: Justin Tucker has won more games for the Baltimore Ravens

881
00:48:57,600 --> 00:49:01,200
Speaker 1: than Lamar Jackson has. And why it's because Lamar Jackson

882
00:49:01,239 --> 00:49:02,839
Speaker 1: can't make the play on the field and they have

883
00:49:02,880 --> 00:49:06,200
Speaker 1: to go to the kicker. That's why Justin Tucker has

884
00:49:06,200 --> 00:49:09,960
Speaker 1: won more games than Lamar Jackson has for the Baltimore Ravens.

885
00:49:10,800 --> 00:49:13,440
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, well, Justin tuckers accurate kicker in the

886
00:49:13,440 --> 00:49:15,200
Speaker 1: history of football. He's won more games in a lot

887
00:49:15,239 --> 00:49:17,920
Speaker 1: of quarterbacks in the league. So, yes, you're right, he's

888
00:49:17,960 --> 00:49:23,640
Speaker 1: a special talent. And I'll give granted, you granted Lamar,

889
00:49:23,719 --> 00:49:28,240
Speaker 1: and comparing Lamar and Josh is a little bit apples

890
00:49:28,280 --> 00:49:33,200
Speaker 1: and oranges. Baltimore's offense is not Buffalo's offense. But I'll

891
00:49:33,239 --> 00:49:36,320
Speaker 1: say this, and I'm I've got no love loss for

892
00:49:36,360 --> 00:49:39,960
Speaker 1: the Ravens round. I'm not here to pump up Lamar's tires.

893
00:49:39,960 --> 00:49:42,719
Speaker 1: The guy can really play, yes, and they've structured their

894
00:49:42,719 --> 00:49:45,400
Speaker 1: offense around him to accentuate what he does, which is

895
00:49:45,400 --> 00:49:47,640
Speaker 1: a lot of it is the run game and his

896
00:49:47,640 --> 00:49:50,239
Speaker 1: own run game and his ability throw it. And I

897
00:49:50,280 --> 00:49:53,160
Speaker 1: will say this too, Yes, he is not as good

898
00:49:53,200 --> 00:49:56,040
Speaker 1: a thrower of the football from the pocket as Josh

899
00:49:56,040 --> 00:50:00,600
Speaker 1: Allen is, but he's still good, and he's better than

900
00:50:00,640 --> 00:50:02,240
Speaker 1: a lot of other guys and better than the scenes,

901
00:50:02,760 --> 00:50:05,919
Speaker 1: and he's getting better now. Last night, you can say

902
00:50:05,920 --> 00:50:08,560
Speaker 1: what you want. They got away with him not being

903
00:50:08,560 --> 00:50:11,600
Speaker 1: his best, but he is getting better at that. But

904
00:50:11,760 --> 00:50:16,520
Speaker 1: I would agree with Judy Lamar and Josh are different guys.

905
00:50:17,840 --> 00:50:20,520
Speaker 1: They both win a lot of games. And I we've

906
00:50:20,560 --> 00:50:22,920
Speaker 1: said it before too. I think you're right, Brownie. When

907
00:50:22,960 --> 00:50:25,759
Speaker 1: push comes to show Josh Josh has been clutching big

908
00:50:25,800 --> 00:50:28,560
Speaker 1: moments is when he's his best. Yeah, rises to the

909
00:50:28,600 --> 00:50:31,760
Speaker 1: occasion for sure. And thanks Judy on the cramp advice,

910
00:50:32,360 --> 00:50:34,479
Speaker 1: Steve and I have had too many to count, and

911
00:50:34,719 --> 00:50:37,560
Speaker 1: I generally agree with you get up on your feet,

912
00:50:37,600 --> 00:50:39,360
Speaker 1: stretch it out as quickly as you can by putting

913
00:50:39,360 --> 00:50:41,440
Speaker 1: pressure on that leg where it's occurring. And I'll say

914
00:50:41,480 --> 00:50:44,000
Speaker 1: this too about Mahome's helmet. Oh yeah, we forgot about

915
00:50:44,040 --> 00:50:46,799
Speaker 1: Mahome's helmet. They have a different choice of helmet, Yes,

916
00:50:47,000 --> 00:50:49,520
Speaker 1: his helmet. There's a bunch of helmets. These guys can

917
00:50:49,560 --> 00:50:51,960
Speaker 1: make it. Every year you see a different style and

918
00:50:52,040 --> 00:50:54,160
Speaker 1: a different type, and a guy with a helmet that

919
00:50:54,200 --> 00:50:57,960
Speaker 1: looks different than everybody else's and all of that. Every

920
00:50:58,000 --> 00:51:00,520
Speaker 1: team has a variety of different helmets. I don't see

921
00:51:00,520 --> 00:51:03,839
Speaker 1: anything vastly different in Mahome's helmet. I think the way

922
00:51:03,880 --> 00:51:07,440
Speaker 1: he straps his chin strap on it positions the back

923
00:51:07,480 --> 00:51:09,920
Speaker 1: of the helmet a little bit higher than most. I

924
00:51:09,920 --> 00:51:12,440
Speaker 1: think you're right. I think it's based on how tightly

925
00:51:12,480 --> 00:51:15,000
Speaker 1: he has his chin strap on, and it kind of

926
00:51:15,080 --> 00:51:17,960
Speaker 1: lurches the helmet forward a little bit almost. Yeah, he

927
00:51:18,040 --> 00:51:22,760
Speaker 1: keeps he keeps the helmet strapped like where the opening

928
00:51:22,760 --> 00:51:25,440
Speaker 1: of the face mask guys look through. Sometimes it sneaks

929
00:51:25,520 --> 00:51:28,319
Speaker 1: up because as the helmet goes backward on your head

930
00:51:28,440 --> 00:51:31,359
Speaker 1: like a like a skull cap, if you mean, you

931
00:51:31,360 --> 00:51:34,480
Speaker 1: pull it down like a baseball cap over your eyes,

932
00:51:35,000 --> 00:51:37,160
Speaker 1: like the help. That's how he straps his on. Yeah,

933
00:51:37,280 --> 00:51:39,760
Speaker 1: And I think that keeps the vision of the face

934
00:51:39,800 --> 00:51:42,879
Speaker 1: mask where it's supposed to be and gives him more vision. So,

935
00:51:43,320 --> 00:51:45,480
Speaker 1: but you're right, that's that's all I see his helmet

936
00:51:45,560 --> 00:51:48,120
Speaker 1: style and the I'm sure a lot of guys wear it,

937
00:51:48,480 --> 00:51:50,160
Speaker 1: but the way he straps it on might be a

938
00:51:50,160 --> 00:51:53,440
Speaker 1: hair different. Break time for us here because to begin

939
00:51:53,600 --> 00:51:57,520
Speaker 1: outward number two, we get our weekly visit from Resident

940
00:51:57,600 --> 00:52:01,319
Speaker 1: Bill's mafia member at the NFL Network, Michael Robinson. He's

941
00:52:01,400 --> 00:52:03,480
Speaker 1: joining us next with his thought. He was tweeting like

942
00:52:03,480 --> 00:52:06,280
Speaker 1: a banshee yesterday about Josh Allen. We'll get his thoughts

943
00:52:06,280 --> 00:52:08,320
Speaker 1: on the game next here on One Bill's Live presented

944
00:52:08,360 --> 00:52:51,600
Speaker 1: by Collida Health. It's Buffalo Bill's Radio theist One Bills

945
00:52:51,680 --> 00:52:57,480
Speaker 1: Live presented by Callida healthur number two on a Buffalo

946
00:52:57,800 --> 00:53:03,160
Speaker 1: football victory Monday Day. And if the first hour wasn't

947
00:53:03,280 --> 00:53:05,040
Speaker 1: enough for you, boy, do we have a treat for

948
00:53:05,080 --> 00:53:08,080
Speaker 1: you an hour number two our weekly visit from Resident

949
00:53:08,120 --> 00:53:11,360
Speaker 1: Bill's Mafia member at the NFL Network one Michael Robinson,

950
00:53:11,400 --> 00:53:14,520
Speaker 1: who is tweeting like a nutball yesterday as balls were

951
00:53:14,560 --> 00:53:18,320
Speaker 1: flying through the air with the greatest disease. Michael Robinson,

952
00:53:18,400 --> 00:53:21,040
Speaker 1: how does four hundred total net yards sound to you?

953
00:53:21,120 --> 00:53:25,719
Speaker 1: At halftime? Oh? Man, guys, First of all, what a

954
00:53:25,800 --> 00:53:29,480
Speaker 1: great Sunday. Glad to be on today, and all Bills

955
00:53:29,600 --> 00:53:33,760
Speaker 1: Mafia please stand up. Oh it passed the yards almost

956
00:53:33,800 --> 00:53:36,640
Speaker 1: in one half. I was over here telling my son

957
00:53:36,719 --> 00:53:38,839
Speaker 1: we were both watching a game. I'm like, I'm like, Son,

958
00:53:39,239 --> 00:53:41,680
Speaker 1: Josh Allen's an alien. And then Tony Romo must have

959
00:53:41,680 --> 00:53:43,920
Speaker 1: been reading my tweets because he said that as well,

960
00:53:44,160 --> 00:53:47,240
Speaker 1: that Josh Allen is an alien, and I'm like Burton,

961
00:53:47,400 --> 00:53:49,200
Speaker 1: He's gonna throw for eight hundred yards in a game

962
00:53:49,280 --> 00:53:52,839
Speaker 1: like it was a clinic. And then with the conditions

963
00:53:52,880 --> 00:53:55,480
Speaker 1: that the wind blowing, and you can say that the

964
00:53:55,520 --> 00:53:57,879
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Steelers weren't that great of a team. They were.

965
00:53:58,000 --> 00:54:00,680
Speaker 1: They are an NFL team and allowed some how to

966
00:54:00,760 --> 00:54:03,200
Speaker 1: throw the ball for almost four hundred yards and a half.

967
00:54:03,200 --> 00:54:05,520
Speaker 1: It was an unbelievable performance. He only threw the ball,

968
00:54:05,520 --> 00:54:08,320
Speaker 1: he only had twenty completions, and then those twenty completions

969
00:54:08,360 --> 00:54:12,279
Speaker 1: over four hundred yards passing. I was so impressed about

970
00:54:12,320 --> 00:54:16,080
Speaker 1: the explosive passes that Josh Allen and his offense put

971
00:54:16,120 --> 00:54:18,480
Speaker 1: on tape because we already know who we're playing next

972
00:54:18,480 --> 00:54:20,680
Speaker 1: week to Kansas City Chiefs, but they need to put

973
00:54:20,680 --> 00:54:23,520
Speaker 1: those explosive passes on tape so that when the safeties

974
00:54:23,560 --> 00:54:26,440
Speaker 1: are playing this deep, playing this offense, they don't creep

975
00:54:26,480 --> 00:54:30,120
Speaker 1: down and crowd that run game. Those explosive plays provide

976
00:54:30,160 --> 00:54:32,319
Speaker 1: space for this offense. And I'm so glad they put

977
00:54:32,320 --> 00:54:34,399
Speaker 1: it on tape, guys, because they look scary. What did

978
00:54:34,440 --> 00:54:37,040
Speaker 1: you make of the young players for the Bills, like

979
00:54:37,080 --> 00:54:44,440
Speaker 1: the Khalil Shaker, James Cook, even kier Elam who was

980
00:54:44,440 --> 00:54:49,440
Speaker 1: getting picked on by Kenny Pickett and Pickings coming up

981
00:54:49,480 --> 00:54:52,719
Speaker 1: with a big interception. Also, I say Hodgens catching U

982
00:54:53,440 --> 00:54:55,480
Speaker 1: you know, some balls as well for a touchdown. What

983
00:54:55,520 --> 00:54:57,319
Speaker 1: did you think about the young guys who were forced

984
00:54:57,360 --> 00:55:00,000
Speaker 1: into action at the skilled positions who came in and contribute.

985
00:55:00,040 --> 00:55:04,240
Speaker 1: It was it was such a great day for Josh

986
00:55:04,280 --> 00:55:06,440
Speaker 1: to be explosive in the passing game because of what

987
00:55:06,480 --> 00:55:08,200
Speaker 1: it did was it allowed to score to kind of

988
00:55:08,239 --> 00:55:10,319
Speaker 1: get out of hand and allowed a lot of the

989
00:55:10,440 --> 00:55:12,360
Speaker 1: young guys to get in the game and play some

990
00:55:12,520 --> 00:55:15,640
Speaker 1: Some other young guys, you guys did mention Jakwan Johnson

991
00:55:15,640 --> 00:55:19,240
Speaker 1: at safety eight tackles, Damar Hamling at safety eight tackles,

992
00:55:19,280 --> 00:55:23,080
Speaker 1: I mean man ten tackles. Those guys needed these reps. Obviously,

993
00:55:23,120 --> 00:55:25,160
Speaker 1: they're taking the place of a Micah Hide and a

994
00:55:25,280 --> 00:55:28,400
Speaker 1: Jordan Poyer, who together may be the best tandem of

995
00:55:28,440 --> 00:55:31,120
Speaker 1: safeties in the National Football League. Those guys are banged up,

996
00:55:31,200 --> 00:55:34,040
Speaker 1: and you know, Leslie Frazier and this defensive staff, they

997
00:55:34,160 --> 00:55:37,759
Speaker 1: need these guys to have their experience because later on

998
00:55:37,800 --> 00:55:39,480
Speaker 1: in the season they're gonna be able to call on

999
00:55:39,520 --> 00:55:41,880
Speaker 1: this experience they they're getting in games like this. But

1000
00:55:41,920 --> 00:55:44,000
Speaker 1: I thought they were sure tacklers. They were in the

1001
00:55:44,080 --> 00:55:47,080
Speaker 1: right spot, and especially Damar Hamlet, I mean, when he

1002
00:55:47,239 --> 00:55:48,960
Speaker 1: got down in the box and when he was in

1003
00:55:49,040 --> 00:55:51,640
Speaker 1: the boy as the in the box safety, he was

1004
00:55:51,680 --> 00:55:55,120
Speaker 1: a playmaker. He made plays. He actually um as the

1005
00:55:55,160 --> 00:55:57,600
Speaker 1: free hitter, he made a lot of tackles. So you

1006
00:55:57,680 --> 00:56:02,799
Speaker 1: also mentioned Khalil Shakier. I actually think that his development

1007
00:56:03,320 --> 00:56:05,920
Speaker 1: is vital in paramount for this offense because as teams

1008
00:56:05,960 --> 00:56:08,439
Speaker 1: have to worry about Stefan Diggs and Gabe Davis, Gabe

1009
00:56:08,520 --> 00:56:10,959
Speaker 1: Davis oh Man three catches over one hundred and seventy

1010
00:56:11,000 --> 00:56:14,760
Speaker 1: seven yards. Wow, As teams have to worry about those guys,

1011
00:56:14,800 --> 00:56:17,319
Speaker 1: it's gonna be the third and fourth receiver that again

1012
00:56:17,440 --> 00:56:19,280
Speaker 1: later on in the season that are gonna win games.

1013
00:56:19,280 --> 00:56:21,719
Speaker 1: So to see him catching passes across the middle, to

1014
00:56:21,719 --> 00:56:25,920
Speaker 1: see him catching some explosive passes, definitely gave this offense

1015
00:56:25,960 --> 00:56:28,440
Speaker 1: some confidence that they can face any defense and go

1016
00:56:28,520 --> 00:56:30,680
Speaker 1: up against any matchup that the defense presents. Yeah, I

1017
00:56:30,760 --> 00:56:33,120
Speaker 1: was joking with Steve like on most days we'd be

1018
00:56:33,160 --> 00:56:36,080
Speaker 1: commenting on the fact that Shakier average twenty five yards

1019
00:56:36,080 --> 00:56:38,839
Speaker 1: of reception. The problem is, Gabe Davis average fifty seven

1020
00:56:38,920 --> 00:56:42,200
Speaker 1: yards a catch and it doesn't even register on the radar.

1021
00:56:43,160 --> 00:56:49,719
Speaker 1: But Shaquier Michael. He demonstrated even in training camp a

1022
00:56:49,840 --> 00:56:52,880
Speaker 1: route savvness that you don't often see out of a

1023
00:56:52,960 --> 00:56:57,160
Speaker 1: rookie receiver. He just has this feel everything is so

1024
00:56:57,239 --> 00:57:00,760
Speaker 1: smooth and it looks very easy. He's like a silky

1025
00:57:00,840 --> 00:57:03,719
Speaker 1: kind of route runner, knows what to do with it

1026
00:57:03,800 --> 00:57:07,720
Speaker 1: after the catches. Well, he just seems wise beyond his years,

1027
00:57:07,800 --> 00:57:12,520
Speaker 1: high football IQ kind of stuff from him. I'm wondering

1028
00:57:12,560 --> 00:57:16,440
Speaker 1: where this goes going forward. McKenzie presumably should be out

1029
00:57:16,440 --> 00:57:20,160
Speaker 1: of concussion protocol this week, but I don't know. It

1030
00:57:20,280 --> 00:57:25,800
Speaker 1: just seems like Shakier's offensive skill set offers more diverse

1031
00:57:26,000 --> 00:57:30,560
Speaker 1: options than say McKenzie, whose game is largely predicated on

1032
00:57:30,640 --> 00:57:33,960
Speaker 1: pure speed. I'm not saying take McKenzie out of the lineup,

1033
00:57:33,960 --> 00:57:37,600
Speaker 1: but I think Shakier offers you some diversity that you

1034
00:57:37,640 --> 00:57:43,600
Speaker 1: can insert into this passing game going forward. Great insight there, because, again,

1035
00:57:43,640 --> 00:57:46,240
Speaker 1: as this season goes on, as more tape comes out

1036
00:57:46,600 --> 00:57:50,120
Speaker 1: on his Buffalo Bill's offense, teams are gonna adjust. And

1037
00:57:50,440 --> 00:57:54,520
Speaker 1: when you talk about Shakir having that that savviness, that

1038
00:57:54,720 --> 00:57:58,200
Speaker 1: just feel for the slot position, Gays are either born

1039
00:57:58,320 --> 00:58:02,000
Speaker 1: with that or they aren't. That's not something that's developed.

1040
00:58:02,040 --> 00:58:04,280
Speaker 1: That's not something that you can tell a wide receiver

1041
00:58:04,360 --> 00:58:06,160
Speaker 1: coach to go out there and teach a guy to

1042
00:58:06,240 --> 00:58:08,640
Speaker 1: have that type of type of a field. And I

1043
00:58:08,680 --> 00:58:11,440
Speaker 1: believe based off of the type of run game that

1044
00:58:11,520 --> 00:58:15,040
Speaker 1: we run here in Buffalo with Ken Dorsey's offense and

1045
00:58:15,080 --> 00:58:17,720
Speaker 1: the fact that you have a big, strong arm quarterback

1046
00:58:17,760 --> 00:58:20,800
Speaker 1: like a Josh Allen, everything starts with his right arm.

1047
00:58:21,040 --> 00:58:23,880
Speaker 1: There isn't there isn't an environment that he can't throw

1048
00:58:23,880 --> 00:58:28,280
Speaker 1: the football in. So when you talk about having more skill,

1049
00:58:28,480 --> 00:58:31,680
Speaker 1: more wide receivers, more diversity and skill set out there

1050
00:58:31,680 --> 00:58:35,040
Speaker 1: on the perimeter, you're just basically saying it's just more

1051
00:58:35,080 --> 00:58:37,360
Speaker 1: opportunity to get the ball out of Josh Allen's hands

1052
00:58:37,560 --> 00:58:40,680
Speaker 1: and more opportunity for this offense to have answers again

1053
00:58:40,960 --> 00:58:44,480
Speaker 1: to whatever defense that presents itself to itself. What do

1054
00:58:44,520 --> 00:58:47,440
Speaker 1: you think this the depth that they've displayed at all

1055
00:58:47,440 --> 00:58:50,440
Speaker 1: these places where they've been injured, The offensive line in Miami,

1056
00:58:51,040 --> 00:58:55,840
Speaker 1: the defensive secondary throughout, Yeah, the linebacking core of the

1057
00:58:55,880 --> 00:58:59,880
Speaker 1: defensive line. I mean, every position group has been tested

1058
00:59:00,000 --> 00:59:02,720
Speaker 1: a tight end yesterday with Knox being out and Quentin

1059
00:59:02,800 --> 00:59:05,880
Speaker 1: Morris going in all right, So you find all this

1060
00:59:05,960 --> 00:59:08,480
Speaker 1: out about how deep you are and how great you're

1061
00:59:08,480 --> 00:59:12,280
Speaker 1: seeing that. What does that mean though, when you're going

1062
00:59:12,280 --> 00:59:14,560
Speaker 1: into play the Kansas City Chiefs and you just you know,

1063
00:59:14,640 --> 00:59:17,040
Speaker 1: you gotta have your roster together. Does it help you

1064
00:59:18,080 --> 00:59:20,080
Speaker 1: or do you just go If your starters are healthy,

1065
00:59:20,120 --> 00:59:21,640
Speaker 1: they just go back in and those guys go back

1066
00:59:21,680 --> 00:59:23,640
Speaker 1: to the bench. Does it give you some ideas about

1067
00:59:23,880 --> 00:59:26,560
Speaker 1: other things you can expand your offense into, or your

1068
00:59:26,600 --> 00:59:32,000
Speaker 1: defensive calls into to help you win this game this week? Absolutely? Again,

1069
00:59:32,200 --> 00:59:34,560
Speaker 1: when you talk about giving these young guys and guys

1070
00:59:34,560 --> 00:59:38,120
Speaker 1: that don't have that much experience getting them these reps,

1071
00:59:38,320 --> 00:59:41,480
Speaker 1: and then these guys having success, like those young defensive

1072
00:59:41,520 --> 00:59:45,600
Speaker 1: backs having success, that just tells the defensive staff, look,

1073
00:59:45,640 --> 00:59:48,479
Speaker 1: we have no problems putting these guys in the game

1074
00:59:48,840 --> 00:59:51,680
Speaker 1: against the Kansas City Chiefs, against the Patrick Mahomes when

1075
00:59:51,760 --> 00:59:54,480
Speaker 1: the game is on the line, because they're gonna call

1076
00:59:54,560 --> 00:59:57,120
Speaker 1: on those experiences later on. You see what I'm saying.

1077
00:59:57,120 --> 00:59:59,160
Speaker 1: And yes, when the starters come back, yes you insert

1078
00:59:59,200 --> 01:00:03,240
Speaker 1: the starters back. But obviously, when you have guys that

1079
01:00:03,320 --> 01:00:05,919
Speaker 1: present a certain skill set, you want to put your

1080
01:00:05,960 --> 01:00:08,160
Speaker 1: best eleven on the field. And I remember Pete Carroll

1081
01:00:08,200 --> 01:00:10,240
Speaker 1: telling me this when we were going through our Super

1082
01:00:10,280 --> 01:00:13,280
Speaker 1: Bowl run. He's like, Mike, when I coached this team, obviously,

1083
01:00:13,560 --> 01:00:16,160
Speaker 1: you know you're coaching everybody, but you don't coach the

1084
01:00:16,200 --> 01:00:19,720
Speaker 1: top guys. You're really talking to the lowest guys on

1085
01:00:19,720 --> 01:00:22,600
Speaker 1: your roster. You're really talking to the fifty second, fifty

1086
01:00:22,640 --> 01:00:25,720
Speaker 1: third guy on your roster, because you're only as stronger

1087
01:00:25,800 --> 01:00:28,600
Speaker 1: as the weakest guy on your roster. So again, at

1088
01:00:28,600 --> 01:00:30,680
Speaker 1: the end of the day, you want these guys to

1089
01:00:30,720 --> 01:00:33,480
Speaker 1: have this exponential knowledge because they're gonna be able to

1090
01:00:33,520 --> 01:00:36,320
Speaker 1: call on it later on in Brandon being man, great job,

1091
01:00:36,800 --> 01:00:40,800
Speaker 1: great job. I mean, yes, we've encountered some injuries, Yes

1092
01:00:40,840 --> 01:00:44,560
Speaker 1: we've encountered some adversity. But you're finding out so much

1093
01:00:44,600 --> 01:00:47,440
Speaker 1: more about your roster by going through that verse, and

1094
01:00:47,440 --> 01:00:50,479
Speaker 1: then you're so you're also so happening to win games

1095
01:00:50,520 --> 01:00:52,680
Speaker 1: at the same time. That's definitely a plus. All right, Mike,

1096
01:00:52,760 --> 01:00:54,840
Speaker 1: Let's jump into your house a little bit and talk

1097
01:00:54,880 --> 01:00:59,560
Speaker 1: about Buffalo's run game, which got some traction yesterday. Coach

1098
01:00:59,600 --> 01:01:03,040
Speaker 1: reference this after the game specifically, but he thought the

1099
01:01:03,120 --> 01:01:07,240
Speaker 1: blocking assignments were better executed on a more consistent level. Yesterday.

1100
01:01:07,280 --> 01:01:08,960
Speaker 1: It kind of allowed some runs to get out of

1101
01:01:08,960 --> 01:01:12,520
Speaker 1: the gate a little bit, most notably James Cook at

1102
01:01:12,520 --> 01:01:14,480
Speaker 1: the end of the game, who kind of used a

1103
01:01:14,480 --> 01:01:16,520
Speaker 1: little improv once he got to the second level and

1104
01:01:16,600 --> 01:01:19,560
Speaker 1: just outrace people to the end zone. That's something we

1105
01:01:19,640 --> 01:01:23,560
Speaker 1: have not seen to a great degree from the running

1106
01:01:23,560 --> 01:01:25,760
Speaker 1: back continued that this team has had the last couple

1107
01:01:25,800 --> 01:01:28,280
Speaker 1: of years. It was an element that we thought Cook

1108
01:01:28,360 --> 01:01:33,320
Speaker 1: could bring to the group. We witnessed it yesterday. What

1109
01:01:33,400 --> 01:01:37,520
Speaker 1: does that do to a coaching staff's mindset going forward

1110
01:01:37,560 --> 01:01:40,560
Speaker 1: when they see a guy not only have the juice

1111
01:01:40,880 --> 01:01:43,160
Speaker 1: to get through the hole, but to turn it into

1112
01:01:43,240 --> 01:01:45,720
Speaker 1: a touchdown. How much does that impact an offensive play

1113
01:01:45,760 --> 01:01:49,680
Speaker 1: caller going forward? Yeah? I mean again, it gives the

1114
01:01:49,720 --> 01:01:52,560
Speaker 1: play offersive play caller the confidence to know to give

1115
01:01:52,640 --> 01:01:55,680
Speaker 1: the kid the ball in crucial situations, and it sells

1116
01:01:55,720 --> 01:01:58,240
Speaker 1: the offensive play caller. Look, maybe I should figure out

1117
01:01:58,240 --> 01:02:00,640
Speaker 1: ways to get the ball in this kid's hand a

1118
01:02:00,680 --> 01:02:02,880
Speaker 1: little bit more. And I thought the run game came

1119
01:02:02,920 --> 01:02:07,280
Speaker 1: along a little bit more yesterday because of the explosive passes. Guys.

1120
01:02:08,120 --> 01:02:11,240
Speaker 1: When a defense walks up to the Buffalo Bills and

1121
01:02:11,280 --> 01:02:13,280
Speaker 1: they see Josh Shall and they see Steph Diggs, they

1122
01:02:13,320 --> 01:02:15,160
Speaker 1: see all the speed, they see the offensive line, they

1123
01:02:15,160 --> 01:02:18,040
Speaker 1: see everything. The first thing they're gonna think about is

1124
01:02:18,280 --> 01:02:21,360
Speaker 1: I have to stop that big, strong armed superman of

1125
01:02:21,360 --> 01:02:24,760
Speaker 1: a quarterback from beating me deep. He can actually throw

1126
01:02:24,800 --> 01:02:28,000
Speaker 1: the ball over our head. That's exactly what happened in

1127
01:02:28,040 --> 01:02:30,080
Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh steel A game. He was throwing the ball

1128
01:02:30,120 --> 01:02:32,360
Speaker 1: over the safety's head. And the safety is supposed to

1129
01:02:32,400 --> 01:02:35,080
Speaker 1: be the deepest of the deepest. He's throwing it over

1130
01:02:35,120 --> 01:02:37,320
Speaker 1: their head. So there really isn't a spot on the

1131
01:02:37,360 --> 01:02:40,040
Speaker 1: football field that he can't hit. So when a defense

1132
01:02:40,160 --> 01:02:42,320
Speaker 1: first walks up to the line, they have to guard

1133
01:02:42,360 --> 01:02:46,080
Speaker 1: against that. And when you put those explosive players on tape,

1134
01:02:46,080 --> 01:02:48,720
Speaker 1: those seventy nine yards you know, seventy yard yard touchdown

1135
01:02:48,800 --> 01:02:51,560
Speaker 1: by Gabe Davis and the big explosives by Steph Diggs

1136
01:02:51,560 --> 01:02:54,880
Speaker 1: and everybody else. Safeties instead of sitting at about ten

1137
01:02:54,920 --> 01:02:57,480
Speaker 1: to twelve yards now they sit at about fifteen to

1138
01:02:57,840 --> 01:03:01,080
Speaker 1: nineteen to twenty yards just so that they can have

1139
01:03:01,240 --> 01:03:03,120
Speaker 1: enough depth to be able to get back so that

1140
01:03:03,200 --> 01:03:05,439
Speaker 1: Josh Allen doesn't throw the ball over their head. Well,

1141
01:03:05,440 --> 01:03:08,280
Speaker 1: when they're sitting at fifteen to twenty yards. That's the

1142
01:03:08,440 --> 01:03:11,280
Speaker 1: natural space needed in the run game because the box

1143
01:03:11,360 --> 01:03:13,720
Speaker 1: count is going to be there because they're scared to

1144
01:03:13,760 --> 01:03:16,680
Speaker 1: get out numbered. In the passing game, the box count

1145
01:03:16,800 --> 01:03:18,480
Speaker 1: is going to always be there to run the football.

1146
01:03:18,960 --> 01:03:20,880
Speaker 1: That's where the space comes and that's where the run

1147
01:03:20,920 --> 01:03:24,160
Speaker 1: game comes in because those safeties have to guard against

1148
01:03:24,160 --> 01:03:26,400
Speaker 1: the past before they trigger and get into the box

1149
01:03:26,440 --> 01:03:28,640
Speaker 1: and stop the run. So I think what's happening with

1150
01:03:29,040 --> 01:03:31,760
Speaker 1: with Ken Dorsey right now. He's exploring a lot of

1151
01:03:31,800 --> 01:03:34,880
Speaker 1: different things. He's getting his run game going. He's obviously

1152
01:03:35,240 --> 01:03:38,040
Speaker 1: the first priority is getting Josh Allen going in each

1153
01:03:38,080 --> 01:03:42,160
Speaker 1: game plan, but he's creating doubt in defense's minds, right

1154
01:03:42,240 --> 01:03:44,360
Speaker 1: He's creating some things that they have to prepare for

1155
01:03:44,520 --> 01:03:46,760
Speaker 1: each and every week. And obviously the run game game

1156
01:03:47,520 --> 01:03:50,240
Speaker 1: last week. What do you think is the is something

1157
01:03:50,280 --> 01:03:52,720
Speaker 1: that the Bills could put in their offense or accentuate

1158
01:03:52,800 --> 01:03:54,680
Speaker 1: more of. You've seen a little of, like you know,

1159
01:03:54,720 --> 01:03:57,120
Speaker 1: the Josh Allen run game, or the or the handoff

1160
01:03:57,200 --> 01:04:01,240
Speaker 1: run game, or the the RPOs, the he passed the

1161
01:04:01,280 --> 01:04:04,320
Speaker 1: screen game. Is there anything that you have seen of

1162
01:04:04,400 --> 01:04:07,040
Speaker 1: the Bill's offense so far this year that you wish

1163
01:04:07,080 --> 01:04:11,960
Speaker 1: you'd see more of um maybe this is the running

1164
01:04:11,960 --> 01:04:15,080
Speaker 1: back in me, but two tailbacks in the game, um

1165
01:04:15,600 --> 01:04:17,720
Speaker 1: with with with some of those with some of those

1166
01:04:17,720 --> 01:04:20,240
Speaker 1: speedy wide receivers on the game in the game as well.

1167
01:04:20,520 --> 01:04:22,600
Speaker 1: I'd like to see a little bit more ten personnel,

1168
01:04:22,680 --> 01:04:25,439
Speaker 1: no tight ends or haul while receives and just let

1169
01:04:25,440 --> 01:04:27,800
Speaker 1: this thing go. Um. Obviously, I'm a running back. I

1170
01:04:27,880 --> 01:04:31,120
Speaker 1: come from a running backs mentality and a and running

1171
01:04:31,120 --> 01:04:33,480
Speaker 1: the football. But you also have to see how your

1172
01:04:33,520 --> 01:04:36,120
Speaker 1: team is built and when you have when you got

1173
01:04:36,160 --> 01:04:37,959
Speaker 1: one of those guys, you guys hear me talk about

1174
01:04:37,960 --> 01:04:39,720
Speaker 1: it each and every week, because it starts with the

1175
01:04:39,760 --> 01:04:42,920
Speaker 1: quarterback position. When you have one of those guys, one

1176
01:04:42,920 --> 01:04:45,360
Speaker 1: of those four or five guys walk on this planet

1177
01:04:45,360 --> 01:04:47,960
Speaker 1: that can will a team to a win with his arm,

1178
01:04:48,040 --> 01:04:50,720
Speaker 1: with his abilities, with his eyes of everything that this

1179
01:04:50,800 --> 01:04:53,200
Speaker 1: kid is all about, you have to get him going.

1180
01:04:53,280 --> 01:04:56,560
Speaker 1: Their offense starts there. I think we're also seeing with

1181
01:04:56,640 --> 01:04:59,640
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson in Denver, he needed a running game, he

1182
01:04:59,680 --> 01:05:02,760
Speaker 1: needs defense, he needs a creative play callers, not just him.

1183
01:05:02,800 --> 01:05:06,320
Speaker 1: I believe Josh Allen is one of those guys where, yeah,

1184
01:05:06,400 --> 01:05:08,160
Speaker 1: it starts with him. You have to get him going.

1185
01:05:08,560 --> 01:05:10,360
Speaker 1: And so if I can put both of those running

1186
01:05:10,360 --> 01:05:13,240
Speaker 1: backs on the field at the same time, if you

1187
01:05:13,800 --> 01:05:16,680
Speaker 1: get James Cook, a speedy guy, speedy guy that's that's

1188
01:05:16,720 --> 01:05:19,880
Speaker 1: tough to tackle in space, you get you get a

1189
01:05:19,920 --> 01:05:23,680
Speaker 1: motor Devin Singletary in space again, another guy that's tough

1190
01:05:23,720 --> 01:05:26,840
Speaker 1: to tackle along with that speed. How do you stop it?

1191
01:05:27,240 --> 01:05:28,880
Speaker 1: Because again, you can just throw a flat to these

1192
01:05:28,920 --> 01:05:31,960
Speaker 1: guys and yeah, you may know they're getting a football,

1193
01:05:32,000 --> 01:05:34,240
Speaker 1: but the defense still has to have a physical encounter

1194
01:05:34,320 --> 01:05:36,520
Speaker 1: with them, which is pretty tough to take those guys down.

1195
01:05:36,520 --> 01:05:38,360
Speaker 1: So I would go a little bit more pony personnel.

1196
01:05:38,560 --> 01:05:41,240
Speaker 1: In ten personnel, those are two personnels. I'd like to

1197
01:05:41,240 --> 01:05:43,440
Speaker 1: see some twenty. Give me some twenty forget about the

1198
01:05:43,440 --> 01:05:45,720
Speaker 1: tight ends there you go, give me some twenty personnel. Um,

1199
01:05:46,240 --> 01:05:49,800
Speaker 1: last one we got for you, Mike. You know that

1200
01:05:49,960 --> 01:05:52,560
Speaker 1: there was a benefit here getting up on the scoreboard

1201
01:05:52,640 --> 01:05:55,000
Speaker 1: so much. Josh Allen's wearing a ball cap along with

1202
01:05:55,000 --> 01:05:57,520
Speaker 1: a bunch of other starters that got to sit for

1203
01:05:57,560 --> 01:06:00,760
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter and rest up for the Chiefs. The

1204
01:06:00,840 --> 01:06:04,160
Speaker 1: Chiefs don't play until tonight. They've got a division tilt

1205
01:06:04,200 --> 01:06:07,200
Speaker 1: with a Raiders team that absolutely hates them. Steve and

1206
01:06:07,240 --> 01:06:10,560
Speaker 1: I personally are hoping for a very physical matchup between

1207
01:06:10,600 --> 01:06:13,280
Speaker 1: those two teams. But being a former player, let's talk

1208
01:06:13,280 --> 01:06:16,400
Speaker 1: about one less day arrest for the Chiefs coming off

1209
01:06:16,400 --> 01:06:20,360
Speaker 1: a game tonight, combined with the Bills being able to

1210
01:06:20,440 --> 01:06:22,720
Speaker 1: rest the balance of their starters for the fourth quarter

1211
01:06:22,760 --> 01:06:25,720
Speaker 1: in the game yesterday. What's the cumulative effect there in

1212
01:06:25,800 --> 01:06:29,040
Speaker 1: terms of the Bills coming into this one fresh. Well,

1213
01:06:29,520 --> 01:06:31,200
Speaker 1: all right, I'm gonna be a player for you guys

1214
01:06:31,200 --> 01:06:33,000
Speaker 1: for a second. I'm gonna put on my player hat.

1215
01:06:33,080 --> 01:06:35,200
Speaker 1: Now my analysts had, not my fan had, but my

1216
01:06:35,280 --> 01:06:39,200
Speaker 1: player had. We don't care about that. Okay, We're going

1217
01:06:39,240 --> 01:06:41,320
Speaker 1: in here. We're preparing like we're going to get the

1218
01:06:41,320 --> 01:06:43,400
Speaker 1: Super Bowl version of the Kansas City Chiefs. We were

1219
01:06:43,440 --> 01:06:45,960
Speaker 1: preparing like they've had two weeks off. We're preparing like

1220
01:06:46,000 --> 01:06:49,720
Speaker 1: they're gonna give us any and everything that they can. Right,

1221
01:06:49,800 --> 01:06:51,960
Speaker 1: We'll let the fans talk about the cumulative effect and

1222
01:06:52,000 --> 01:06:53,959
Speaker 1: the fact that if this is a physical game, because

1223
01:06:54,000 --> 01:06:56,800
Speaker 1: I believe that the Las Vegas Raiders should get the

1224
01:06:56,840 --> 01:06:59,040
Speaker 1: run game going, so they should beat the Kansas City

1225
01:06:59,120 --> 01:07:01,320
Speaker 1: Chiefs up up front. Maybe get some cut blocks to

1226
01:07:01,400 --> 01:07:03,920
Speaker 1: Chris Jones and it ain't gotten guys like that, so

1227
01:07:03,960 --> 01:07:05,720
Speaker 1: it can slow them down from rushing to pass the

1228
01:07:05,880 --> 01:07:08,600
Speaker 1: next week. Let the fans talk about that type of stuff,

1229
01:07:08,680 --> 01:07:11,040
Speaker 1: But as a player, oh no, we're preparing for the

1230
01:07:11,080 --> 01:07:13,360
Speaker 1: best version of the Kansas City Chiefs. We're preparing for

1231
01:07:13,400 --> 01:07:15,600
Speaker 1: the best version of Andy Reid and Eric being to me,

1232
01:07:15,840 --> 01:07:19,680
Speaker 1: and we're preparing for the best version of everything, the defense,

1233
01:07:19,760 --> 01:07:22,400
Speaker 1: everything going into next week. And that's how you want it.

1234
01:07:22,480 --> 01:07:24,440
Speaker 1: You want you want the best version of the Kansas

1235
01:07:24,440 --> 01:07:26,200
Speaker 1: City Chiefs because you don't want any doubt in their

1236
01:07:26,240 --> 01:07:29,560
Speaker 1: minds when they take that out next week. Mike Robinson,

1237
01:07:29,600 --> 01:07:31,400
Speaker 1: thanks for coming on with us. Man's could seeing you

1238
01:07:31,440 --> 01:07:34,840
Speaker 1: again after a win? Absolutely? Man, I'll talk to you

1239
01:07:34,880 --> 01:07:37,680
Speaker 1: guys next week after next week's win. Sounds good, all right,

1240
01:07:37,720 --> 01:07:41,080
Speaker 1: Michael Robinson joining us here from NFL Network. You're resident

1241
01:07:41,120 --> 01:07:46,360
Speaker 1: Bills mafia member who was all too happy about yesterday's victory.

1242
01:07:46,480 --> 01:07:49,040
Speaker 1: And now, Steve, I know I mentioned this to you

1243
01:07:49,880 --> 01:07:53,640
Speaker 1: before the break, but I decided to look it up anyway,

1244
01:07:54,080 --> 01:07:58,000
Speaker 1: to no one's surprise, because the Bills, as if this week,

1245
01:07:58,440 --> 01:08:01,040
Speaker 1: are ranked as the number two scoring offense in football

1246
01:08:01,080 --> 01:08:03,800
Speaker 1: and the number one team in points allowed on defense,

1247
01:08:04,440 --> 01:08:06,880
Speaker 1: so it's no surprise they are leading the league in

1248
01:08:07,000 --> 01:08:10,800
Speaker 1: point differential, just as they did last year, but the

1249
01:08:10,920 --> 01:08:15,560
Speaker 1: margin already is sizeable. The Bills are number one in

1250
01:08:15,600 --> 01:08:20,160
Speaker 1: the league in point differential at plus ninety one, nice

1251
01:08:20,479 --> 01:08:23,880
Speaker 1: the next place. The next two closest teams are the

1252
01:08:23,920 --> 01:08:27,160
Speaker 1: San Francisco forty nine ers, who have a great defense also,

1253
01:08:27,479 --> 01:08:31,200
Speaker 1: and the Philadelphia Eagles, the only unbeaten team left in football.

1254
01:08:31,840 --> 01:08:36,800
Speaker 1: They are at plus forty seven, almost half of the

1255
01:08:36,840 --> 01:08:40,679
Speaker 1: point differential that the Bills have put up through five games.

1256
01:08:40,840 --> 01:08:43,240
Speaker 1: And the Bills aren't exactly going through a soft part

1257
01:08:43,240 --> 01:08:46,040
Speaker 1: of their schedule. I think, to a man or a woman,

1258
01:08:46,439 --> 01:08:48,760
Speaker 1: most of us thought the first seven games were the

1259
01:08:48,800 --> 01:08:52,120
Speaker 1: most challenging part of Buffalo schedule. And here they are

1260
01:08:52,120 --> 01:08:55,679
Speaker 1: at four and one and a plus ninety one point

1261
01:08:55,720 --> 01:08:59,479
Speaker 1: differential after five games. And they still have only given

1262
01:08:59,560 --> 01:09:03,559
Speaker 1: up seven points in the second half this year. And

1263
01:09:03,640 --> 01:09:05,960
Speaker 1: I know a lot of us believe that if it

1264
01:09:06,040 --> 01:09:08,960
Speaker 1: had been eighty five instead of one hundred and five

1265
01:09:09,040 --> 01:09:11,920
Speaker 1: in Miami, they'd be five and zero. Yeah, and they

1266
01:09:12,080 --> 01:09:16,040
Speaker 1: their point differential would be even bigger. But you don't

1267
01:09:16,040 --> 01:09:17,680
Speaker 1: get to make those choices, and you gotta go on

1268
01:09:17,720 --> 01:09:22,200
Speaker 1: with what you go on with. And this game against

1269
01:09:22,280 --> 01:09:27,439
Speaker 1: Kansas City point different. You're gonna have to beat Kansas

1270
01:09:27,479 --> 01:09:29,960
Speaker 1: As we all know watching the Chiefs play, you've gotta

1271
01:09:29,960 --> 01:09:32,720
Speaker 1: be firing on all cylinders. That means offensively, all your

1272
01:09:32,720 --> 01:09:36,280
Speaker 1: all your guns gotta be blazing, and defensively the same thing.

1273
01:09:36,360 --> 01:09:38,760
Speaker 1: You got to make some plays against these guys. You

1274
01:09:38,800 --> 01:09:42,639
Speaker 1: gotta get up on them with double up on your possessions.

1275
01:09:42,640 --> 01:09:45,599
Speaker 1: You gotta get some turnovers, and you gotta be efficient

1276
01:09:45,600 --> 01:09:50,040
Speaker 1: and score points on them. Because it's it's really hard

1277
01:09:50,040 --> 01:09:53,800
Speaker 1: to go into Kansas City and beat those guys. Bills

1278
01:09:53,800 --> 01:09:55,519
Speaker 1: have done it. They did a week five last week

1279
01:09:55,680 --> 01:10:00,080
Speaker 1: last year, beat them by eighteen. But you gotta you

1280
01:10:00,160 --> 01:10:02,120
Speaker 1: got a fire on all cylinders to get that done,

1281
01:10:02,240 --> 01:10:05,200
Speaker 1: and it's it's hard to do. As Bill fans Bills

1282
01:10:05,240 --> 01:10:08,920
Speaker 1: fans well known. One interesting note that we're going to

1283
01:10:09,000 --> 01:10:11,680
Speaker 1: have to keep an eye on injury wise for the

1284
01:10:11,760 --> 01:10:16,040
Speaker 1: Chiefs is to their kicker, Harrison Butker. He's one of

1285
01:10:16,040 --> 01:10:18,559
Speaker 1: the better Chiefs, better Chiefs, one of the better kickers

1286
01:10:18,560 --> 01:10:21,280
Speaker 1: in the league. He has been out since Week one

1287
01:10:22,520 --> 01:10:27,200
Speaker 1: when the turf I believe it was Arizona the turf

1288
01:10:27,280 --> 01:10:32,320
Speaker 1: in the grass in Arizona's stadium. He slipped his plant

1289
01:10:32,400 --> 01:10:37,479
Speaker 1: foot slipped on a kickoff in week one and he's

1290
01:10:37,520 --> 01:10:40,480
Speaker 1: been nursing that injury ever since, and they've been shuffling

1291
01:10:40,520 --> 01:10:43,960
Speaker 1: through kickers. They had mad A Mondola as the fill

1292
01:10:44,040 --> 01:10:46,679
Speaker 1: in kicker. They cut him after a couple of weeks.

1293
01:10:46,960 --> 01:10:50,240
Speaker 1: They have Matthew right now as their kicker in place

1294
01:10:50,280 --> 01:10:53,960
Speaker 1: of Butcker. He's gonna kick again tonight because Butcker is

1295
01:10:54,000 --> 01:10:58,960
Speaker 1: still not ready. They want to make sure that Butcker

1296
01:10:59,080 --> 01:11:00,920
Speaker 1: is completely a hundred percent. I'm going to give you

1297
01:11:00,960 --> 01:11:05,880
Speaker 1: a quote from Kansas City Chiefs Special Teams coordinator Dave Tao,

1298
01:11:05,960 --> 01:11:08,719
Speaker 1: who's one of the best in the business. He said, quote,

1299
01:11:08,760 --> 01:11:11,200
Speaker 1: he tried to go last week, but he was working

1300
01:11:11,240 --> 01:11:14,920
Speaker 1: on one step kicks. He wants to have his full

1301
01:11:14,920 --> 01:11:17,400
Speaker 1: approach to the ball. He doesn't want to use a

1302
01:11:17,400 --> 01:11:19,760
Speaker 1: half approach. And I don't blame him. He still has

1303
01:11:19,760 --> 01:11:22,479
Speaker 1: a lot of pain and he's got swelling in that ankle.

1304
01:11:22,840 --> 01:11:25,320
Speaker 1: It was evidently a little bit worse than what you think.

1305
01:11:25,800 --> 01:11:28,880
Speaker 1: Everybody heals differently. It's just going to take time to

1306
01:11:28,920 --> 01:11:32,479
Speaker 1: get him back. Obviously, we want a full one hundred percent. Butker,

1307
01:11:32,840 --> 01:11:35,400
Speaker 1: like I said before, you've got a long season to go,

1308
01:11:35,520 --> 01:11:37,360
Speaker 1: so we'll be happy when he's one hundred percent. We

1309
01:11:37,360 --> 01:11:38,840
Speaker 1: don't want to try to force him back and then

1310
01:11:38,880 --> 01:11:43,280
Speaker 1: all of a sudden gets some regression. So we're gonna

1311
01:11:43,360 --> 01:11:45,000
Speaker 1: really have to keep a close eye on the injury

1312
01:11:45,000 --> 01:11:47,120
Speaker 1: report because if this winds up being a close game

1313
01:11:47,520 --> 01:11:50,240
Speaker 1: like the divisional playoff last week or last year between

1314
01:11:50,240 --> 01:11:52,360
Speaker 1: the Chiefs and the Bills, the kicking game could be

1315
01:11:52,400 --> 01:11:55,000
Speaker 1: a gigantic part of it and they may not have

1316
01:11:55,040 --> 01:11:58,559
Speaker 1: their number one kicker. You can't take anything for granted

1317
01:11:58,560 --> 01:12:05,680
Speaker 1: in these games. And that's why, you know, that's why

1318
01:12:05,720 --> 01:12:09,000
Speaker 1: all these guys, I mean, we watched these injury reports.

1319
01:12:09,000 --> 01:12:11,200
Speaker 1: I mean the Bills, you know, with knocks out, with

1320
01:12:11,360 --> 01:12:15,960
Speaker 1: Mackenzie out, with all these guys dropping out, um that

1321
01:12:16,000 --> 01:12:20,280
Speaker 1: are starters. He kind of blow off the kickers, you know,

1322
01:12:20,320 --> 01:12:22,880
Speaker 1: in the specialists and the periphery guys. When you're talking

1323
01:12:22,880 --> 01:12:25,840
Speaker 1: about it, can you you know some happened to Justin

1324
01:12:26,360 --> 01:12:29,320
Speaker 1: Some happened to Justin Tucker for the Ravens. There are

1325
01:12:29,400 --> 01:12:32,200
Speaker 1: five hundred ball club. That's why I said he's won

1326
01:12:32,240 --> 01:12:34,280
Speaker 1: more games than Lamar Jackson has he had a sixty

1327
01:12:34,320 --> 01:12:37,160
Speaker 1: one yard or last night? Yeah, this was during the game.

1328
01:12:37,640 --> 01:12:39,720
Speaker 1: Did you see his reaction after he kicked it. He's

1329
01:12:39,720 --> 01:12:43,479
Speaker 1: like looking at the sidelines, like, yeah, that's me. I

1330
01:12:43,560 --> 01:12:46,720
Speaker 1: am him. Yeah, I'm that guy. Thanks for ninety one,

1331
01:12:46,880 --> 01:12:51,040
Speaker 1: Thanks for stopping by ninety one point two percent career kicker.

1332
01:12:51,800 --> 01:12:55,479
Speaker 1: I mean he's far and away, like he's almost eight

1333
01:12:55,520 --> 01:12:58,960
Speaker 1: percent over ninety six percent in the fourth quarter time

1334
01:12:59,040 --> 01:13:01,760
Speaker 1: overtime ninety. I think he's got a streak right now too,

1335
01:13:01,840 --> 01:13:05,200
Speaker 1: doesn't he from any consecutives in the fourth quarter? Two

1336
01:13:05,439 --> 01:13:09,559
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter consecutive consecutive. The guy don't miss stupid?

1337
01:13:10,200 --> 01:13:14,560
Speaker 1: Is he's stupid good? Yeah, that guy is really good,

1338
01:13:15,760 --> 01:13:18,479
Speaker 1: really good. He is special and he sings opera in

1339
01:13:18,520 --> 01:13:21,840
Speaker 1: four different languages. Who knew? Um, I didn't know that.

1340
01:13:21,920 --> 01:13:24,640
Speaker 1: Actually it's a trained opera singer. Like as if his

1341
01:13:24,800 --> 01:13:28,840
Speaker 1: kicking exploitings don't do enough. Truly amazing. All right, we

1342
01:13:29,600 --> 01:13:33,640
Speaker 1: are going to take a break here because when we

1343
01:13:33,760 --> 01:13:37,519
Speaker 1: come back, we will be open and ready for any

1344
01:13:37,520 --> 01:13:39,120

1346
01:13:41,680 --> 01:13:44,400
Speaker 1: takeaways from the bills. Thirty eight three win over the Steelers.

1347
01:13:44,400 --> 01:13:46,240
Speaker 1: So if you're holding it eight oh three, oh five fifty,

1352
01:14:11,320 --> 01:14:14,519

1353
01:14:14,560 --> 01:14:16,439
Speaker 1: around the locker room here and then we'll get to

1354
01:14:16,479 --> 01:14:19,680
Speaker 1: your phone calls around the locker room presented by connect Life,

1355
01:14:19,680 --> 01:14:23,599
Speaker 1: your blood and organ donor network. And we begin with

1356
01:14:23,680 --> 01:14:27,559
Speaker 1: head coach Sean McDermott on the depth on this player

1357
01:14:27,680 --> 01:14:32,280
Speaker 1: roster rising to the occasion against the Steelers. It takes two.

1358
01:14:32,280 --> 01:14:34,640
Speaker 1: It takes the player and it takes the coach to

1359
01:14:34,680 --> 01:14:37,839
Speaker 1: get them ready to go. And whether it was Shakir

1360
01:14:38,000 --> 01:14:42,240
Speaker 1: up I'm gonna leave some names out Shakir, Isaiah Hodgens

1361
01:14:42,240 --> 01:14:47,519
Speaker 1: out there, Tanner, Gentry Q Morris out there making some

1362
01:14:47,720 --> 01:14:51,040
Speaker 1: making some plays. I thought the line did a good job.

1363
01:14:51,080 --> 01:14:52,880
Speaker 1: I know I'm jumping around here at topic wise with

1364
01:14:52,960 --> 01:14:55,040
Speaker 1: the line did a good job running the helping us

1365
01:14:55,080 --> 01:14:58,080
Speaker 1: run the football. I thought that was we had better

1366
01:14:58,120 --> 01:15:01,519
Speaker 1: detail today in the run game and UM, but my

1367
01:15:01,560 --> 01:15:04,120
Speaker 1: hat goes off to the offensive line. I know what

1368
01:15:04,400 --> 01:15:06,040
Speaker 1: that they've been working hard and got a lot of

1369
01:15:06,040 --> 01:15:11,280
Speaker 1: confidence in those guys. And defensively, UM, you know, just

1370
01:15:11,320 --> 01:15:14,400
Speaker 1: good to stand up when we needed to stand up

1371
01:15:14,400 --> 01:15:19,120
Speaker 1: and UM had a turnover a chance to go up

1372
01:15:19,160 --> 01:15:21,400
Speaker 1: I think early ten points maybe or something like that,

1373
01:15:21,479 --> 01:15:24,960
Speaker 1: and and defense had to come back out and enforce

1374
01:15:25,040 --> 01:15:28,640
Speaker 1: a three and out. We did that. So UM a

1375
01:15:28,680 --> 01:15:32,320
Speaker 1: lot to learn from some good things obviously, And I

1376
01:15:32,320 --> 01:15:35,479
Speaker 1: guess I left out the defensive guys Tyrel Dodson that

1377
01:15:35,560 --> 01:15:37,599
Speaker 1: stepped in there and did a good job and led

1378
01:15:37,600 --> 01:15:41,920
Speaker 1: our defense on the secondary, you know with uh, with

1379
01:15:42,040 --> 01:15:44,680
Speaker 1: Damar and Quan working together and tandem out there, that

1380
01:15:44,760 --> 01:15:49,000
Speaker 1: was good to see. So the communication, the preparation, real

1381
01:15:49,080 --> 01:15:55,560
Speaker 1: Proud of those guys. I think he covered everything there.

1382
01:15:55,160 --> 01:16:02,599
Speaker 1: Comprehensive answer, Yeah, yeah, you know they've got it going on,

1383
01:16:03,040 --> 01:16:07,599
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, the culture, the atmosphere, everything. I'm

1384
01:16:07,640 --> 01:16:10,120
Speaker 1: just as we said at the top of the show,

1385
01:16:10,160 --> 01:16:12,960
Speaker 1: the story of the season right now is the performance

1386
01:16:13,400 --> 01:16:17,400
Speaker 1: of the depth and the lack of drop off in

1387
01:16:17,439 --> 01:16:20,040
Speaker 1: the execution on the field. They're not saying they're perfect,

1388
01:16:20,760 --> 01:16:24,320
Speaker 1: but the drop off is minimal, Listen, I minimal. Forget

1389
01:16:24,400 --> 01:16:27,080
Speaker 1: the injuries. If it the Miami game would have been

1390
01:16:27,120 --> 01:16:30,160
Speaker 1: a win with the backups, if they had been able

1391
01:16:30,280 --> 01:16:32,760
Speaker 1: to not have to not hide the weather too. Yeah,

1392
01:16:32,920 --> 01:16:35,360
Speaker 1: if they wouldn't have had guys fallen out with heat exhaustion,

1393
01:16:35,960 --> 01:16:41,240
Speaker 1: they would have won that game with their backups, their

1394
01:16:41,280 --> 01:16:44,679
Speaker 1: steam rolling man and I And it spells good things

1395
01:16:44,680 --> 01:16:46,680
Speaker 1: for this game against Kansas City. I still think they're

1396
01:16:46,680 --> 01:16:48,840
Speaker 1: gonna be healthier this time in Kansas City, and they

1397
01:16:48,840 --> 01:16:51,679
Speaker 1: were maybe this week. I don't know how bad Dawson

1398
01:16:51,760 --> 01:16:54,640
Speaker 1: Knox is. Don't know how bad Mackenzie's concussion or how

1399
01:16:54,640 --> 01:16:59,200
Speaker 1: long he's going to be in the concussion protocols. Don't

1400
01:16:59,240 --> 01:17:01,280
Speaker 1: know about George Poy or whether he'll be back on

1401
01:17:01,320 --> 01:17:02,880
Speaker 1: the field. Wouldn't that be nice to get an all

1402
01:17:02,920 --> 01:17:06,040
Speaker 1: Pro safety back on the field help that could help

1403
01:17:06,040 --> 01:17:08,000
Speaker 1: you maybe shut a team out instead of given up

1404
01:17:08,000 --> 01:17:15,080
Speaker 1: a whole three points. I mean, goodness, gracious, they they're

1405
01:17:15,160 --> 01:17:19,679
Speaker 1: hitting it right now. Yeah. You got Isaiah Hodgins, who's

1406
01:17:19,960 --> 01:17:23,320
Speaker 1: granted he's a third year player coming in and getting

1407
01:17:23,360 --> 01:17:25,840
Speaker 1: his first significant time on the field and getting having

1408
01:17:25,960 --> 01:17:31,080
Speaker 1: catches for you know, contributing James Cook out running everybody

1409
01:17:31,080 --> 01:17:36,040
Speaker 1: in the end zone and shakier. I mean, what can

1410
01:17:36,040 --> 01:17:38,720
Speaker 1: you say about him? He's really intriguing right now. At

1411
01:17:38,760 --> 01:17:41,080
Speaker 1: this point, people are like going give me more of that.

1412
01:17:41,360 --> 01:17:43,720
Speaker 1: We'll get to him in a second. But here is

1413
01:17:43,840 --> 01:17:50,000
Speaker 1: Josh addressing his two big touchdown connections to Gabe Davis yesterday.

1414
01:17:50,560 --> 01:17:53,639
Speaker 1: On that first third down, they doubled both of them.

1415
01:17:53,920 --> 01:17:56,479
Speaker 1: They both doubled Steph and Gabe. From what I saw,

1416
01:17:56,560 --> 01:17:58,280
Speaker 1: saw the safety and gold this way, saw two guys

1417
01:17:58,320 --> 01:18:00,479
Speaker 1: kind of sitting here playing the stick a little bit,

1418
01:18:00,520 --> 01:18:02,840
Speaker 1: and Gabe just uh you know, did his thing and

1419
01:18:02,920 --> 01:18:04,760
Speaker 1: ran and gave him a chance to go make a

1420
01:18:04,760 --> 01:18:06,960
Speaker 1: plain and he did. And then that second one just

1421
01:18:06,960 --> 01:18:09,920
Speaker 1: felt the safety little flat footed, um no one, Gabe

1422
01:18:09,960 --> 01:18:11,840
Speaker 1: was running and just gave him a chance to go

1423
01:18:11,880 --> 01:18:14,160
Speaker 1: catch a ball and he kind of tipped it straight

1424
01:18:14,160 --> 01:18:16,320
Speaker 1: into the Safety's stomach and then pulled it out like

1425
01:18:16,320 --> 01:18:18,160
Speaker 1: it was a It was an unbelievable play by him.

1426
01:18:18,680 --> 01:18:20,560
Speaker 1: But I got so much trust in faith, you know,

1427
01:18:20,600 --> 01:18:22,519
Speaker 1: in thirteen. Um, so it was good to see him

1428
01:18:22,560 --> 01:18:24,840
Speaker 1: get going, you know, and getting the ball early and often,

1429
01:18:24,920 --> 01:18:27,080
Speaker 1: and I wouldn't say often, he only had three catches

1430
01:18:27,120 --> 01:18:30,360
Speaker 1: but for one seventy and two touchdowns, which is pretty crazy.

1431
01:18:30,400 --> 01:18:33,840
Speaker 1: It's a not too often like you have those type

1432
01:18:33,840 --> 01:18:35,600
Speaker 1: of drives. I mean, we had a I think we

1433
01:18:35,600 --> 01:18:37,560
Speaker 1: had a one play drive, two two play drives, and

1434
01:18:37,600 --> 01:18:40,400
Speaker 1: a three play drive which ended in touchdowns. And um,

1435
01:18:41,920 --> 01:18:46,120
Speaker 1: that's that's crazy. It is crazy. I actually tweeted that

1436
01:18:46,200 --> 01:18:49,800
Speaker 1: out Steve because there was a point in time where

1437
01:18:49,840 --> 01:18:54,960
Speaker 1: the Bills they had a three play drive for a

1438
01:18:54,960 --> 01:18:58,680
Speaker 1: one minute and four seconds. Yeah, then they had a

1439
01:18:58,720 --> 01:19:03,320
Speaker 1: one play drive for ten seconds, a two play drive

1440
01:19:03,560 --> 01:19:06,760
Speaker 1: for thirty three seconds, and an eight play drive for

1441
01:19:06,800 --> 01:19:09,439
Speaker 1: two minutes and thirty seven seconds. Those are their first

1442
01:19:09,800 --> 01:19:12,600
Speaker 1: four touchdown drives. And then they finished it with a

1443
01:19:12,640 --> 01:19:18,160
Speaker 1: fifty seven second drive for their fifth touchdown. Yeah. They quick.

1444
01:19:19,080 --> 01:19:22,240
Speaker 1: And that's that, you know. And it's not like Pittsburgh

1445
01:19:22,240 --> 01:19:24,160
Speaker 1: didn't have a chance. They had. They dominated the time

1446
01:19:24,200 --> 01:19:26,240
Speaker 1: of possession. They had thirty five minutes the time of possession.

1447
01:19:26,240 --> 01:19:29,439
Speaker 1: Well that's the reason the Bills were cutting through them

1448
01:19:29,520 --> 01:19:32,720
Speaker 1: like nothing. I mean, the third play from scrimmage goes

1449
01:19:32,800 --> 01:19:36,000
Speaker 1: ninety eight yards, third play from scrimmage boom, ninety eight yards.

1450
01:19:37,280 --> 01:19:39,280
Speaker 1: Then the Bills come out and stop. I mean, it's

1451
01:19:39,280 --> 01:19:43,000
Speaker 1: just it was crazy. Yeah, it was crazy, and I

1452
01:19:43,479 --> 01:19:45,400
Speaker 1: that's not gonna happen. We obviously know that's not gonna

1453
01:19:45,400 --> 01:19:48,679
Speaker 1: happen every week, but certainly, and Josh gabe an idea

1454
01:19:48,720 --> 01:19:50,640
Speaker 1: is what the mindset was like he saw it. At

1455
01:19:50,640 --> 01:19:53,559
Speaker 1: the snap, the safeties were plant thinking the Bills needed

1456
01:19:53,560 --> 01:19:55,280
Speaker 1: a first down. They were gonna sit at the sticks,

1457
01:19:55,280 --> 01:19:57,519
Speaker 1: which you'll see the Bills defense due they'll back out

1458
01:19:57,600 --> 01:19:59,880
Speaker 1: until they get right to the first down mark or no,

1459
01:20:00,800 --> 01:20:03,880
Speaker 1: just past that is where the other team's gonna throw it.

1460
01:20:03,920 --> 01:20:07,559
Speaker 1: So he's it's Pittsburgh guest that the Bills were going

1461
01:20:07,640 --> 01:20:08,760
Speaker 1: to do that to try and get out of their

1462
01:20:08,800 --> 01:20:12,000
Speaker 1: own end. Didn't ever fearing that Bills had enough moxie

1463
01:20:12,000 --> 01:20:13,240
Speaker 1: to say, you know what, we're gonna go for the

1464
01:20:13,560 --> 01:20:15,280
Speaker 1: go yard. And that's what he meant when he said

1465
01:20:15,840 --> 01:20:19,040
Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick got caught flatfooted because he was gonna step forward,

1466
01:20:19,080 --> 01:20:21,799
Speaker 1: He's gonna try to try to jump around, and Gabe

1467
01:20:21,800 --> 01:20:24,760
Speaker 1: just took it up the field behind a gis. Now

1468
01:20:24,800 --> 01:20:27,599
Speaker 1: you got a quarterback. Then hit him sixty yards down

1469
01:20:27,680 --> 01:20:31,280
Speaker 1: the field. Where yards on that throw? Sixty two yards?

1470
01:20:31,280 --> 01:20:34,439
Speaker 1: What think about? Think about what you're thinking as a

1471
01:20:34,479 --> 01:20:37,080
Speaker 1: player when you get caught right there and in that

1472
01:20:37,200 --> 01:20:40,320
Speaker 1: split second before the ball is even thrown, you know,

1473
01:20:40,840 --> 01:20:46,040
Speaker 1: oh no, yeah, oh no, Boom goes to dynamite. Tom,

1474
01:20:46,280 --> 01:20:50,519
Speaker 1: You turn and you run like you are, yeah, running

1475
01:20:50,560 --> 01:20:54,240
Speaker 1: for your light. Yeah. We talked a lot already about

1476
01:20:54,320 --> 01:20:56,439
Speaker 1: Khalil Shakire, So I want to give credit where it's due.

1477
01:20:56,520 --> 01:21:00,120
Speaker 1: Tyrell Dotson stepping in for Tremaine Edmonds yesterday. Guy with

1478
01:21:00,160 --> 01:21:02,559
Speaker 1: the green dot on his helmet, running the defense, making

1479
01:21:02,600 --> 01:21:06,559
Speaker 1: the calls, pre snap checks, all of that. Guy leads

1480
01:21:06,600 --> 01:21:09,960
Speaker 1: the team and tackles and has his sack. Here's Tyrrell

1481
01:21:10,080 --> 01:21:13,519
Speaker 1: Dodson on the performance he was able to put together

1482
01:21:13,840 --> 01:21:17,120
Speaker 1: as part of the defensive effort against the Steelers. I

1483
01:21:17,160 --> 01:21:19,120
Speaker 1: can have my own room and and I can be

1484
01:21:19,160 --> 01:21:22,439
Speaker 1: a starter in this league. So I think that's the

1485
01:21:22,439 --> 01:21:24,840
Speaker 1: biggest thing I try to do every day. I can

1486
01:21:24,880 --> 01:21:26,519
Speaker 1: prove that can start in this league. And I think

1487
01:21:26,520 --> 01:21:29,360
Speaker 1: I think I did that today. What was the key

1488
01:21:29,360 --> 01:21:30,599
Speaker 1: for you guys? I mean, they didn't move the ball

1489
01:21:30,640 --> 01:21:32,000
Speaker 1: on the up and down the field, but it seemed

1490
01:21:32,000 --> 01:21:34,680
Speaker 1: like red zone playmaking with what turned this game for

1491
01:21:34,720 --> 01:21:38,160
Speaker 1: you guys? The key was I mean starting Monday, I

1492
01:21:38,160 --> 01:21:41,080
Speaker 1: mean the game plan, just executing with coach Frazier's calling

1493
01:21:41,400 --> 01:21:44,200
Speaker 1: and stuff like that. I mean, um, they got a

1494
01:21:44,200 --> 01:21:47,240
Speaker 1: couple of plays, but in the league, they're gonna make plays.

1495
01:21:47,240 --> 01:21:50,160
Speaker 1: But she's gotta make more plays. So that's what we

1496
01:21:50,200 --> 01:21:52,800
Speaker 1: did today. Head on the three points. I wish it

1497
01:21:52,800 --> 01:21:55,000
Speaker 1: was a goose egg, but we get what we get.

1498
01:21:56,760 --> 01:21:59,960
Speaker 1: So that is around the locker room presented by Connect Life,

1499
01:22:00,080 --> 01:22:04,679
Speaker 1: Connect Life, your blood and organ donor network. Good performance

1500
01:22:04,720 --> 01:22:09,760
Speaker 1: by him Kwan Johnson. Guys stepping in and stepping up

1501
01:22:09,800 --> 01:22:12,200
Speaker 1: in a big way, not only on the defensive side

1502
01:22:12,240 --> 01:22:13,600
Speaker 1: of the ball, but on the offensive side of the

1503
01:22:13,640 --> 01:22:15,519
Speaker 1: ball as well, all over the roster, and it has

1504
01:22:15,520 --> 01:22:17,439
Speaker 1: happened throughout the first five weeks of the season. They

1505
01:22:18,320 --> 01:22:22,200
Speaker 1: outside of Game one, they've had guys step up. Like

1506
01:22:22,280 --> 01:22:25,519
Speaker 1: we said earlier, at every position group. Every position group

1507
01:22:25,560 --> 01:22:28,120
Speaker 1: has had to come through with the depth play during

1508
01:22:28,160 --> 01:22:31,000
Speaker 1: one of these games and their four and one and

1509
01:22:31,000 --> 01:22:32,920
Speaker 1: and the loss had nothing to do with the lack

1510
01:22:33,000 --> 01:22:35,360
Speaker 1: of depth. That's right. Let's go back to the phones

1511
01:22:35,600 --> 01:22:40,320
Speaker 1: and get your takeaways from yesterday's bludgeoning of the Steelers.

1512
01:22:40,320 --> 01:22:42,120
Speaker 1: We go to Steve and uticas, Steve, what do you

1513
01:22:42,160 --> 01:22:45,400
Speaker 1: got for us? You're on one bills live. Hey, guys,

1514
01:22:45,400 --> 01:22:48,240
Speaker 1: thanks a lot taking the call. Was at the game yesterday,

1515
01:22:48,360 --> 01:22:52,200
Speaker 1: great game, Go Bills. You guys were talking about a

1516
01:22:52,240 --> 01:22:56,000
Speaker 1: lot about the time of possession against my you know,

1517
01:22:56,120 --> 01:23:00,760
Speaker 1: the Miami game. Whatever, We dominated that and honestly, you know,

1518
01:23:00,920 --> 01:23:03,599
Speaker 1: we'll see in Buffalo in the summer. Okay, we'll see

1519
01:23:03,600 --> 01:23:06,720
Speaker 1: how that play it pans out. I guess firing on

1520
01:23:06,920 --> 01:23:10,519
Speaker 1: all cylinders. Do you guys have any concern about the

1521
01:23:10,560 --> 01:23:12,759
Speaker 1: face of over the last couple of years our achilles heels?

1522
01:23:12,760 --> 01:23:16,240
Speaker 1: But the running game, both on offense and defense. Um,

1523
01:23:16,760 --> 01:23:19,599
Speaker 1: do we need to really? I was thrilled to see

1524
01:23:19,600 --> 01:23:22,760
Speaker 1: Cook get more active. Um. You know I was at

1525
01:23:22,760 --> 01:23:25,599
Speaker 1: the Monday night game last year against the Patriots and

1526
01:23:25,680 --> 01:23:28,160
Speaker 1: we just you know, couldn't stop that. I know we're

1527
01:23:28,200 --> 01:23:35,080
Speaker 1: gaged up. Um. I guess the one dimensional when we're dominating,

1528
01:23:35,200 --> 01:23:37,760
Speaker 1: how we're turning teams one dimensional? And then you know

1529
01:23:37,800 --> 01:23:41,280
Speaker 1: the Miami game, Josh throwing the ball sixty times? Tell

1530
01:23:41,320 --> 01:23:43,519
Speaker 1: them the stretch. Do you guys think that's a concern?

1531
01:23:43,640 --> 01:23:47,160
Speaker 1: Do you think that's sustainable? Long term? We're leaps and

1532
01:23:47,240 --> 01:23:50,559
Speaker 1: balanced better than than what it was. But is there

1533
01:23:50,600 --> 01:23:53,400
Speaker 1: any is there any concern there? Well, I'll tell you this,

1534
01:23:53,640 --> 01:23:56,599
Speaker 1: as long as there's scoring points for me, no, um,

1535
01:23:56,760 --> 01:23:59,320
Speaker 1: certainly you get into games like Miami and they didn't

1536
01:23:59,360 --> 01:24:02,120
Speaker 1: score points for different reasons other than throwing it a lot.

1537
01:24:02,200 --> 01:24:04,720
Speaker 1: And I think in the Baltimore game, I think it

1538
01:24:05,320 --> 01:24:09,519
Speaker 1: went about according to plan. I don't think, Yeah, it

1539
01:24:09,520 --> 01:24:10,920
Speaker 1: would have been nice to run the ball a little

1540
01:24:10,960 --> 01:24:12,920
Speaker 1: better in that game, perhaps, But I you know, you

1541
01:24:12,960 --> 01:24:15,160
Speaker 1: said the running game has been an issue for hours,

1542
01:24:15,200 --> 01:24:19,080
Speaker 1: and there's I don't think the opponents, our opponent's running

1543
01:24:19,080 --> 01:24:21,160
Speaker 1: game is an issue for the Bills anymore. With if

1544
01:24:21,160 --> 01:24:24,519
Speaker 1: they're healthy upfront, even when they're maybe a nicked a

1545
01:24:24,560 --> 01:24:26,960
Speaker 1: little bit upfront, they've been really good against the run

1546
01:24:27,439 --> 01:24:30,519
Speaker 1: this year. So the opponent's running game has not been

1547
01:24:30,560 --> 01:24:32,680
Speaker 1: a factor and in any of these games, even the

1548
01:24:32,680 --> 01:24:37,320
Speaker 1: Tennessee game. So that is off the table for me.

1549
01:24:37,400 --> 01:24:39,840
Speaker 1: I think I'm not concerned about that anymore now the Bills.

1550
01:24:40,200 --> 01:24:43,280
Speaker 1: I mean, listen, you're never gonna run it good enough.

1551
01:24:43,360 --> 01:24:48,080
Speaker 1: You're gonna have great games, but it's a throwing league,

1552
01:24:48,800 --> 01:24:51,160
Speaker 1: and there's always going to be that gray areas. How

1553
01:24:51,240 --> 01:24:53,360
Speaker 1: much running is too much running to take you out

1554
01:24:53,400 --> 01:24:56,360
Speaker 1: of a big play offense, and how much running is

1555
01:24:56,520 --> 01:24:59,880
Speaker 1: enough to make the defense play it honest and force

1556
01:25:00,080 --> 01:25:02,160
Speaker 1: them into some decisions that make it easier for you

1557
01:25:02,240 --> 01:25:05,160
Speaker 1: to throw it. So I don't know. As long as

1558
01:25:05,200 --> 01:25:08,599
Speaker 1: the Bills are scoring thirty eight point I mean, lets

1559
01:25:09,120 --> 01:25:11,920
Speaker 1: you look at look at their Look at where they're

1560
01:25:11,960 --> 01:25:15,240
Speaker 1: at right now. I mean they've had two games granted

1561
01:25:15,960 --> 01:25:21,559
Speaker 1: that they were they got held under twenty five points. Well, yeah,

1562
01:25:21,920 --> 01:25:25,080
Speaker 1: the Dolphins and Ravens. They're scoring thirty plus in all

1563
01:25:25,120 --> 01:25:28,120
Speaker 1: the other games I'm I'm and the Dolphins game, I'll

1564
01:25:28,160 --> 01:25:30,920
Speaker 1: make a case would have been up there as well.

1565
01:25:31,320 --> 01:25:33,439
Speaker 1: I'm not really concerned about whether they run it too

1566
01:25:33,520 --> 01:25:36,720
Speaker 1: much or throw it too much until they stop scoring points. Yeah,

1567
01:25:36,760 --> 01:25:38,720
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think it's a volume thing. I

1568
01:25:38,760 --> 01:25:41,679
Speaker 1: think it's a capability thing. With the run game. Run

1569
01:25:41,680 --> 01:25:44,559
Speaker 1: it more effectively when you run it, and the Bills,

1570
01:25:44,720 --> 01:25:47,320
Speaker 1: at least through the first five weeks, it seems as

1571
01:25:47,360 --> 01:25:50,240
Speaker 1: though coach Dorsey is going to use the RPO game

1572
01:25:50,920 --> 01:25:53,160
Speaker 1: as the run game, which means it's not always going

1573
01:25:53,200 --> 01:25:56,000
Speaker 1: to be a run because obviously you have a pass

1574
01:25:56,040 --> 01:25:58,840
Speaker 1: option within the scope of the play, and that's what

1575
01:25:58,880 --> 01:26:02,040
Speaker 1: they use to a great degree yesterday and with more

1576
01:26:02,120 --> 01:26:04,880
Speaker 1: success than we've seen in previous weeks, do in part

1577
01:26:04,960 --> 01:26:07,960
Speaker 1: to the lack of quality of the opponent. Again, don't

1578
01:26:07,960 --> 01:26:10,720
Speaker 1: want to dismiss the effort to the offensive line. I

1579
01:26:10,720 --> 01:26:12,879
Speaker 1: thought they played very well in the run game yesterday.

1580
01:26:13,160 --> 01:26:16,800
Speaker 1: Hopefully that continues against a much better Chiefs defense than

1581
01:26:16,840 --> 01:26:19,679
Speaker 1: the Steelers defense they saw yesterday. Let's go to Ryan

1582
01:26:19,680 --> 01:26:24,320
Speaker 1: and Amhurst quickly. Here. What do you got for us? Ryan? Ryan?

1583
01:26:24,320 --> 01:26:31,959
Speaker 1: Are you there? Ryan? You gotta turn your radio down? Yeah, okay,

1584
01:26:32,080 --> 01:26:34,840
Speaker 1: you're on, buddy, What do you got? What do you

1585
01:26:34,840 --> 01:26:37,640
Speaker 1: got for me? I don't know you'd tell me? You

1586
01:26:37,720 --> 01:26:41,720
Speaker 1: called us? You're on? What do you got? You tell

1587
01:26:41,760 --> 01:26:43,680
Speaker 1: me what I called about? Do you want to talk

1588
01:26:43,720 --> 01:26:48,280
Speaker 1: about Tucker? Yeah? Okay, what do you What do you think?

1589
01:26:50,160 --> 01:26:52,719
Speaker 1: Do you think Justin Tucker is a more valuable player

1590
01:26:52,720 --> 01:26:54,880
Speaker 1: than Mr Jackson? Day didn't say he was a more

1591
01:26:54,960 --> 01:26:57,160
Speaker 1: valuable player. I said he's won more games for the

1592
01:26:57,240 --> 01:27:01,400
Speaker 1: Ravens than Lamar Jackson. That's what I said. He won

1593
01:27:01,479 --> 01:27:05,400
Speaker 1: it for him last night? How is that true? He

1594
01:27:05,600 --> 01:27:08,280
Speaker 1: made the ki makes the kicks that win the football games.

1595
01:27:09,600 --> 01:27:13,160
Speaker 1: But he's not the quarterback. No, he's not, So why

1596
01:27:13,200 --> 01:27:16,839
Speaker 1: I agreed with you. He's not more valuable than Lamar Jackson,

1597
01:27:17,120 --> 01:27:19,960
Speaker 1: but he's won more games for the Ravens than Lamar Jackson.

1598
01:27:20,040 --> 01:27:22,559
Speaker 1: Case closed. I mean, we're you're gonna I don't want

1599
01:27:22,560 --> 01:27:25,519
Speaker 1: to argue semantics. I mean, they're both really good football players.

1600
01:27:25,560 --> 01:27:28,559
Speaker 1: They play different positions. And you can call in say

1601
01:27:28,600 --> 01:27:32,479
Speaker 1: we misspoke, like we made like Justin Tucker would be

1602
01:27:32,560 --> 01:27:35,000
Speaker 1: drafted ahead of Lamar Jackson or Josh Allen. We're not

1603
01:27:35,000 --> 01:27:40,559
Speaker 1: saying not saying that. What's your point, Ryan, I'm saying

1604
01:27:40,640 --> 01:27:45,400
Speaker 1: that you're saying Justin Tucker is the key part of

1605
01:27:45,439 --> 01:27:48,200
Speaker 1: the team. I said what I said, and if you

1606
01:27:48,280 --> 01:27:51,040
Speaker 1: take what I said at face value, it is one

1607
01:27:51,160 --> 01:27:55,360
Speaker 1: hundred percent true. He has won more games for the

1608
01:27:55,400 --> 01:27:59,000
Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens than Lamar Jackson. Now, you can argue Lamar

1609
01:27:59,160 --> 01:28:01,760
Speaker 1: makes more play. You can argue that you can argue

1610
01:28:01,760 --> 01:28:03,960
Speaker 1: that Lamar makes more plays because he's on the field

1611
01:28:03,960 --> 01:28:07,439
Speaker 1: for seventy snaps and Justin Yeah, that's right. And the

1612
01:28:07,520 --> 01:28:10,519
Speaker 1: quarterback is the most value position, valuable position in football,

1613
01:28:10,800 --> 01:28:14,960
Speaker 1: but in terms of wins at the end of the game,

1614
01:28:15,720 --> 01:28:20,000
Speaker 1: Justin Tucker has won more games for the Ravens he

1615
01:28:20,120 --> 01:28:23,120
Speaker 1: just had. He's the most accurate kicker in NFL history. Ryan,

1616
01:28:23,200 --> 01:28:25,080
Speaker 1: you tell me how good or bad do you think

1617
01:28:25,160 --> 01:28:29,400
Speaker 1: Justin Tucker is. He's one of us kickers ever. Yes,

1618
01:28:30,040 --> 01:28:33,679
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson is a great quarterback. Yeah, he's the quarterback

1619
01:28:33,720 --> 01:28:36,360
Speaker 1: of the team. Nobody's debating that Lamar Jackson is a

1620
01:28:36,400 --> 01:28:40,280
Speaker 1: great quarterback. My only point was Justin Tucker over the

1621
01:28:40,360 --> 01:28:44,120
Speaker 1: last two or three years has won more games when

1622
01:28:44,120 --> 01:28:47,920
Speaker 1: the clock is striking zero than Lamar Jackson. Why is that?

1623
01:28:48,240 --> 01:28:51,920
Speaker 1: Because Lamar Jackson doesn't finish the football game. He's not

1624
01:28:51,960 --> 01:28:54,920
Speaker 1: as clutch as Josh Allen as a quarterback. He's a

1625
01:28:54,960 --> 01:28:59,080
Speaker 1: great quarterback, but he does Justin Tucker have what's that

1626
01:29:00,120 --> 01:29:05,040
Speaker 1: how many touchdown passes? Okay, So I'm sorry, Ryan, I tried.

1627
01:29:05,240 --> 01:29:07,160
Speaker 1: You're not gonna get it. You're just not gonna get

1628
01:29:07,160 --> 01:29:10,120
Speaker 1: the point I'm making. The point I'm making is this. Okay,

1629
01:29:10,280 --> 01:29:12,320
Speaker 1: if you want to compare apples to apples, I'll do

1630
01:29:12,360 --> 01:29:16,000
Speaker 1: that for you just so you can understand. Okay, Lamar

1631
01:29:16,120 --> 01:29:18,599
Speaker 1: Jackson is not as clutch a quarterback as Josh Allen

1632
01:29:18,720 --> 01:29:20,519
Speaker 1: is when the chips are down and you have a

1633
01:29:20,640 --> 01:29:23,320
Speaker 1: gotta have it play. Lamar does not come through as

1634
01:29:23,360 --> 01:29:26,040
Speaker 1: often as Josh Allen. That's the point I'm trying to make.

1635
01:29:26,240 --> 01:29:28,479
Speaker 1: And then I threw on top of that that Justin

1636
01:29:28,560 --> 01:29:31,400
Speaker 1: Tucker has won more games for the Baltimore Ravens than

1637
01:29:31,479 --> 01:29:35,920
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson because Justin Tucker is more clutch than Lamar Jackson. Now,

1638
01:29:35,920 --> 01:29:38,439
Speaker 1: I'm not saying Lamar Jackson's a bad quarterback. He's a

1639
01:29:38,479 --> 01:29:42,320
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl level quarterback. He's immensely talented. He's probably one

1640
01:29:42,360 --> 01:29:44,920
Speaker 1: of the six or seven best quarterbacks in all of

1641
01:29:44,960 --> 01:29:49,280
Speaker 1: football right now. But he's not the tippy top of

1642
01:29:49,320 --> 01:29:52,400
Speaker 1: the mountain. That's where Josh Allen sits. He is clutch.

1643
01:29:52,680 --> 01:29:55,000
Speaker 1: He rises to the occasion when the game is on

1644
01:29:55,040 --> 01:29:58,040
Speaker 1: the line. Too often. Lamar Jackson has not done that,

1645
01:29:58,280 --> 01:30:00,880
Speaker 1: and it's why Ravens fans are bye in their fingernails

1646
01:30:01,080 --> 01:30:03,720
Speaker 1: at the ends of football games because he is not

1647
01:30:03,840 --> 01:30:06,280
Speaker 1: his clutch when the game is on the line. Go

1648
01:30:06,400 --> 01:30:08,760
Speaker 1: watch last night's game. That's the only evidence you need

1649
01:30:08,800 --> 01:30:12,240
Speaker 1: to see. I think I think I've made my point. Okay,

1650
01:30:12,439 --> 01:30:14,719
Speaker 1: that's all I'm saying. Don't put words in my mouth.

1651
01:30:15,040 --> 01:30:17,679
Speaker 1: I said what I said. Justin Tucker has won more

1652
01:30:17,720 --> 01:30:21,120
Speaker 1: games for the Ravens than Lamar Jackson. Go look it up. Okay,

1653
01:30:21,280 --> 01:30:22,960
Speaker 1: we'll take a break, be back with more here on

1654
01:30:22,960 --> 01:30:46,280
Speaker 1: One Bills Live. All right, welcome back to One Bills Live.

1655
01:30:46,360 --> 01:30:49,960
Speaker 1: Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you, and we are waiting

1656
01:30:49,960 --> 01:30:52,679
Speaker 1: with bated Bret Steve and for the Monday night game tonight.

1657
01:30:53,080 --> 01:30:56,800
Speaker 1: We know the Raiders hate the Chiefs. I'm hoping that

1658
01:30:56,880 --> 01:30:59,680
Speaker 1: brings a little extra physicality to the contest. I'm not

1659
01:30:59,720 --> 01:31:02,400
Speaker 1: wish anybody to get hurt, but we remember how much

1660
01:31:02,400 --> 01:31:05,200
Speaker 1: the Bills were hanging Even after a forty one seven

1661
01:31:05,240 --> 01:31:07,920
Speaker 1: went over the Titans, that was still a very physical game.

1662
01:31:08,320 --> 01:31:10,600
Speaker 1: They came out of that game with a handful of injuries,

1663
01:31:10,880 --> 01:31:14,320
Speaker 1: so many that they were supremely shorthanded against the Dolphins

1664
01:31:14,360 --> 01:31:18,920
Speaker 1: the next week. I'll say it, I'm you go. I'll

1665
01:31:18,960 --> 01:31:21,120
Speaker 1: say it again. You go back and look at this.

1666
01:31:21,120 --> 01:31:27,280
Speaker 1: This Chief's Raiders rivalry is runs deep. I think it

1667
01:31:27,400 --> 01:31:29,640
Speaker 1: might be in the current state of affairs, it might

1668
01:31:29,720 --> 01:31:32,240
Speaker 1: run deeper for the Raiders and Raiders than it does

1669
01:31:32,280 --> 01:31:34,920
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. Yeah, but listen to this, I mean this

1670
01:31:35,000 --> 01:31:37,280
Speaker 1: is you go back and look and I and I

1671
01:31:37,320 --> 01:31:38,720
Speaker 1: say this all the time because I'm an old guy,

1672
01:31:39,240 --> 01:31:41,680
Speaker 1: go back and watch those games from the sixties seventies

1673
01:31:41,920 --> 01:31:45,960
Speaker 1: for the Raiders Chiefs. I'm telling folks, you talk about

1674
01:31:46,920 --> 01:31:49,000
Speaker 1: a different how the game has evolved. You go back

1675
01:31:49,000 --> 01:31:52,639
Speaker 1: and look fifty years ago. It was a bar fight

1676
01:31:52,840 --> 01:31:55,880
Speaker 1: and they tried to kill each other. It was extracurriculus.

1677
01:31:55,880 --> 01:31:59,400
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, it was even after the player blatant

1678
01:31:59,400 --> 01:32:02,800
Speaker 1: attempts to injured got each other. They hated each other.

1679
01:32:03,960 --> 01:32:08,160
Speaker 1: It was an absolute fist fight. Yeah, just it was

1680
01:32:08,560 --> 01:32:11,680
Speaker 1: barely a step above it. And might be some of

1681
01:32:11,720 --> 01:32:13,800
Speaker 1: that tonight with a Monday night game. They'll be, they'll be,

1682
01:32:14,040 --> 01:32:16,559
Speaker 1: they'll be loaded. They were clothesline in the quarterback in

1683
01:32:16,640 --> 01:32:20,679
Speaker 1: the pocket. They were high lowing guys. They were slamming

1684
01:32:20,720 --> 01:32:24,160
Speaker 1: them to the ground, four arms to the face. I mean,

1685
01:32:24,240 --> 01:32:26,400
Speaker 1: it was just one thing after another, and it was

1686
01:32:26,439 --> 01:32:31,800
Speaker 1: at full speed. And they were wearing like literally six

1687
01:32:31,840 --> 01:32:35,599
Speaker 1: dollars plastic helmets. I mean they look those little barb

1688
01:32:35,880 --> 01:32:41,439
Speaker 1: the little six inch the six point canvas strapped inside helmets.

1689
01:32:42,360 --> 01:32:49,000
Speaker 1: It was oh oh they were and they there no

1690
01:32:49,000 --> 01:32:53,040
Speaker 1: no leg pads, no hip pads, shoulder pads that I

1691
01:32:53,960 --> 01:32:57,280
Speaker 1: literally I wore them as a six year old out

1692
01:32:57,280 --> 01:33:00,040
Speaker 1: of a toy box. That's what they were wearing. It

1693
01:33:01,479 --> 01:33:05,720
Speaker 1: was brutal, and they used to hate each other. So

1694
01:33:05,800 --> 01:33:09,920
Speaker 1: that rat rivalry ran deep and vicious. You talk to

1695
01:33:09,960 --> 01:33:12,680
Speaker 1: old guys, they'd still talk about it. Oh yeah, it's

1696
01:33:12,720 --> 01:33:15,559
Speaker 1: like the old Bears Packers rivalries. Those guys still don't

1697
01:33:15,560 --> 01:33:17,679
Speaker 1: like each other and they're old guys playing in mud

1698
01:33:17,720 --> 01:33:21,439
Speaker 1: and all. Yeah, So this rivalry I think runs deep.

1699
01:33:21,479 --> 01:33:23,800
Speaker 1: This Monday night game tonight, Chiefs Raiders, he goes back

1700
01:33:23,800 --> 01:33:26,880
Speaker 1: a long way. Now, certainly it's it's all polished up now,

1701
01:33:26,920 --> 01:33:29,559
Speaker 1: you know, because the league's a little more polished. But

1702
01:33:30,120 --> 01:33:33,480
Speaker 1: it's it has been a rivalry that has spanned decades

1703
01:33:33,760 --> 01:33:40,600
Speaker 1: and at different points in its history has been like cringeworthy.

1704
01:33:40,840 --> 01:33:42,680
Speaker 1: I look forward to it. We look forward to it

1705
01:33:42,720 --> 01:33:44,920
Speaker 1: for sure. To night. I think it'll be an entertaining game.

1706
01:33:44,960 --> 01:33:47,080
Speaker 1: We'll just see if the Raiders have enough to keep

1707
01:33:47,160 --> 01:33:48,559
Speaker 1: up with the Chiefs. But let's go back to the

1708
01:33:48,560 --> 01:33:52,000
Speaker 1: phones quickly to Jessica and South Carolina before the break.

1709
01:33:52,000 --> 01:33:55,080
Speaker 1: What do you got for us, Jessica? Okay, two things?

1710
01:33:55,160 --> 01:33:57,280
Speaker 1: Love hearing you guys get fired up about the Tucker

1711
01:33:57,320 --> 01:34:01,320
Speaker 1: Lamar thing. Great and great stuff. Uh. Second of all,

1712
01:34:01,600 --> 01:34:03,479
Speaker 1: the running game seemed to do better. I know you

1713
01:34:03,520 --> 01:34:05,519
Speaker 1: guys are kind of touched on it, but I felt

1714
01:34:05,520 --> 01:34:07,840
Speaker 1: like last year, towards the end of the year, it

1715
01:34:07,920 --> 01:34:10,479
Speaker 1: was more motor and I felt like the offensive line

1716
01:34:10,560 --> 01:34:13,320
Speaker 1: job better. But I feel like they were holding something

1717
01:34:13,360 --> 01:34:16,400
Speaker 1: back to that last stretch and the regular season in

1718
01:34:16,439 --> 01:34:18,439
Speaker 1: the playoffs. Do you guys kind of feel like they're

1719
01:34:18,439 --> 01:34:23,000
Speaker 1: doing kind of the same thing this year. I'd like

1720
01:34:23,080 --> 01:34:26,960
Speaker 1: to think so, but I don't know. What do you think, Jessica, Sorry,

1721
01:34:26,960 --> 01:34:28,599
Speaker 1: we have to go because we're up against the break here.

1722
01:34:28,640 --> 01:34:30,559
Speaker 1: But what do you think, Steve? I think they might

1723
01:34:30,560 --> 01:34:33,080
Speaker 1: be saving a few in their back pocket. Yeah, in

1724
01:34:33,080 --> 01:34:38,000
Speaker 1: a perfect world, they've been sitting on James Cook for

1725
01:34:38,080 --> 01:34:42,400
Speaker 1: a month waiting for the Chiefs game, right maybe yeah? Maybe?

1726
01:34:42,479 --> 01:34:44,040
Speaker 1: Come on, man, you're trying to win every game. You

1727
01:34:44,080 --> 01:34:46,000
Speaker 1: are trying to win it, so there. I don't know

1728
01:34:46,040 --> 01:34:49,519
Speaker 1: that they're like holding a guy back because of one

1729
01:34:49,600 --> 01:34:52,519
Speaker 1: game they want to unfurl this big secret weapon against

1730
01:34:52,520 --> 01:34:57,280
Speaker 1: the camp. No, no, this it has been I think

1731
01:34:57,800 --> 01:35:00,719
Speaker 1: this The way this team does business is that every

1732
01:35:00,760 --> 01:35:03,720
Speaker 1: guy on the roster earns the opportunity that he's awarded,

1733
01:35:04,640 --> 01:35:10,880
Speaker 1: and James Cook, Dawson, Knox, Motor, Singletarry, all of those

1734
01:35:10,880 --> 01:35:14,679
Speaker 1: guys are in the same boat, including Duke Johnson, all

1735
01:35:14,680 --> 01:35:17,120
Speaker 1: those guys. You know, people are clamoring that Duke, Duke

1736
01:35:17,200 --> 01:35:19,519
Speaker 1: Johnson might get a shot instead of Zach Moss. You know,

1737
01:35:19,640 --> 01:35:21,680
Speaker 1: Zack Moss comes in, falls down and he's out for

1738
01:35:21,720 --> 01:35:24,840
Speaker 1: the game. You know, he never gets another carry. They

1739
01:35:25,320 --> 01:35:28,360
Speaker 1: it's I think that's the most blatant example of how

1740
01:35:28,400 --> 01:35:30,719
Speaker 1: we see. If a guy makes a mistake, he sits.

1741
01:35:32,360 --> 01:35:34,519
Speaker 1: They're not. The running backs are the only the most

1742
01:35:34,960 --> 01:35:39,080
Speaker 1: apparent thing to casual fans. It works the same way

1743
01:35:39,120 --> 01:35:42,200
Speaker 1: for the left guard, right guard, center, right tackle, left tackle,

1744
01:35:42,280 --> 01:35:45,759
Speaker 1: tight end, second tight end, third tight end, fifth wide receiver,

1745
01:35:45,920 --> 01:35:49,320
Speaker 1: second wide receiver, first kick returner, second, all those guys.

1746
01:35:49,360 --> 01:35:53,040
Speaker 1: Every guy on the roster is given opportunity based on

1747
01:35:54,160 --> 01:35:58,720
Speaker 1: his chance to earn it, on his ability to earn it.

1748
01:35:59,200 --> 01:36:01,840
Speaker 1: And I think that is what if you think they're

1749
01:36:01,840 --> 01:36:03,960
Speaker 1: holding stuff back, I don't. And you're right, they did

1750
01:36:04,000 --> 01:36:05,519
Speaker 1: catch a little lightning in a bottle. Of the last

1751
01:36:05,560 --> 01:36:07,320
Speaker 1: six games last year with a running game, no question

1752
01:36:07,320 --> 01:36:12,880
Speaker 1: about a Motor became the guy, and we attribute it

1753
01:36:12,880 --> 01:36:15,400
Speaker 1: to a number of things, most notably, the offensive line

1754
01:36:15,400 --> 01:36:17,559
Speaker 1: finally got a chance to have the same five guys

1755
01:36:17,600 --> 01:36:20,160
Speaker 1: week after week after week. It didn't happen at all

1756
01:36:20,200 --> 01:36:23,759
Speaker 1: throughout last season. There was never more than one game

1757
01:36:24,200 --> 01:36:26,840
Speaker 1: in a row where the same five guys started for

1758
01:36:27,000 --> 01:36:30,200
Speaker 1: like until Week twelve or something like that. And even

1759
01:36:30,280 --> 01:36:34,040
Speaker 1: then in Week sixteen it happened when Butcker went down

1760
01:36:34,080 --> 01:36:36,760
Speaker 1: with the achilles. So that was an issue last year.

1761
01:36:37,880 --> 01:36:39,640
Speaker 1: It hasn't been really an issue this year except for

1762
01:36:39,680 --> 01:36:42,680
Speaker 1: the Miami game. So we'll see if it starts to

1763
01:36:42,680 --> 01:36:45,840
Speaker 1: pay dividends. It seems to have started to maybe in

1764
01:36:45,880 --> 01:36:50,559
Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh game. Maybe we'll see if it continues. Break

1765
01:36:50,600 --> 01:36:53,360
Speaker 1: time for us here when we return. It is what

1766
01:36:53,520 --> 01:36:57,560
Speaker 1: we get every single Monday after a Bill's victory. The

1767

1775
01:38:09,560 --> 01:38:13,040
Speaker 1: Welcome Mattie. So happy to be here again. Two weeks

1776
01:38:13,120 --> 01:38:17,479
Speaker 1: in a row. How about we make it three. I

1777
01:38:17,520 --> 01:38:21,000
Speaker 1: just want to shout out everybody who said last week

1778
01:38:21,720 --> 01:38:24,960
Speaker 1: yesterday was going to be a trap game? What trap game?

1779
01:38:25,000 --> 01:38:27,719
Speaker 1: Are you kidding me? Thirty eight to three? You thought

1780
01:38:28,160 --> 01:38:30,599
Speaker 1: the Bills were gonna get caught in a trap game

1781
01:38:30,840 --> 01:38:33,639
Speaker 1: against a rookie quarterback? Do you really know this team?

1782
01:38:33,720 --> 01:38:37,240
Speaker 1: I don't think so. Yeah. I was good. We Maddie

1783
01:38:37,280 --> 01:38:39,679
Speaker 1: and I sit behind the rate in the radio booth,

1784
01:38:39,720 --> 01:38:45,240
Speaker 1: behind Murph, and and I was getting up and I

1785
01:38:45,280 --> 01:38:47,519
Speaker 1: was I was up and down all day. I don't

1786
01:38:47,520 --> 01:38:49,840
Speaker 1: know why, because the game was really never in doubt.

1787
01:38:50,960 --> 01:38:53,240
Speaker 1: I'll be right back. I'll be right back. Where are

1788
01:38:53,280 --> 01:39:00,960
Speaker 1: you going? Then? The game? David second touchdown, unbelievable way

1789
01:39:00,960 --> 01:39:03,400
Speaker 1: to start the game. And just it never got it

1790
01:39:03,479 --> 01:39:06,280
Speaker 1: never got old. I mean, it's just never cooled off. Yeah.

1791
01:39:06,320 --> 01:39:10,200
Speaker 1: All right, Well let's start the Mattie Awards with something

1792
01:39:10,600 --> 01:39:14,280
Speaker 1: akin to what you were just describing the fireworks show. Yep,

1793
01:39:14,439 --> 01:39:17,599
Speaker 1: the fireworks show. It's going to Gabe Davis and I

1794
01:39:17,640 --> 01:39:20,639
Speaker 1: thought about this idea to name it the fireworks Show

1795
01:39:20,680 --> 01:39:24,400
Speaker 1: because there were fireworks going on during our postgame show

1796
01:39:24,520 --> 01:39:27,439
Speaker 1: last night and steam going what is that? Thinking it

1797
01:39:27,479 --> 01:39:30,840
Speaker 1: wasn't fireworks. I'm like, don't worry, We've got fireworks. There's

1798
01:39:30,840 --> 01:39:34,439
Speaker 1: Bill's fans celebrating, and they should have been celebrating, so

1799
01:39:34,439 --> 01:39:37,559
Speaker 1: it should have Gabe Davis in his family. Because three

1800
01:39:37,640 --> 01:39:41,520
Speaker 1: catches for one hundred and seventy one receiving yards, two touchdowns,

1801
01:39:41,680 --> 01:39:44,880
Speaker 1: it was like watching a fireworks show. All of these

1802
01:39:44,960 --> 01:39:48,960
Speaker 1: big plays that involved Gabe Davis. We needed to see

1803
01:39:49,000 --> 01:39:51,880
Speaker 1: this type of game out of him after the couple

1804
01:39:51,880 --> 01:39:54,479
Speaker 1: of games where he could see the ankle injury was

1805
01:39:54,520 --> 01:39:56,559
Speaker 1: a little bit nagging for him. He looked a lot

1806
01:39:56,640 --> 01:39:58,559
Speaker 1: better in practice this week, so I think this is

1807
01:39:58,680 --> 01:40:01,840
Speaker 1: exactly what we needed to see at the perfect time

1808
01:40:01,960 --> 01:40:05,280
Speaker 1: as we lead into the Kansas City Chiefs week. The

1809
01:40:05,360 --> 01:40:08,160
Speaker 1: way that he ripped the ball out of Minka Fitzpatrick's

1810
01:40:08,240 --> 01:40:11,320
Speaker 1: hands in the end zone was the icing on top

1811
01:40:11,360 --> 01:40:16,600
Speaker 1: to his wonderful day. The strength that you have to

1812
01:40:16,640 --> 01:40:18,479
Speaker 1: have to be able to rip a ball out of

1813
01:40:18,920 --> 01:40:23,400
Speaker 1: a player like Minka Fitzpatrick's hands, especially after he was

1814
01:40:23,479 --> 01:40:28,000
Speaker 1: targeted which turned into an interception by Levi Wallace in

1815
01:40:28,040 --> 01:40:31,400
Speaker 1: the end zone. Yeah, and the next play that Gabe

1816
01:40:31,439 --> 01:40:34,559
Speaker 1: gets tarted on, next big play, he says, you know what, Nope,

1817
01:40:34,600 --> 01:40:37,240
Speaker 1: this is not going to result in what just happened.

1818
01:40:37,240 --> 01:40:38,760
Speaker 1: I'm going to rip this ball away. It's going to

1819
01:40:38,800 --> 01:40:43,160
Speaker 1: be a touchdown. So kudos to Gabe Davis the True

1820
01:40:43,200 --> 01:40:47,000
Speaker 1: Fireworks show yesterday, watching him and Josh Allen connect on

1821
01:40:47,040 --> 01:40:49,360
Speaker 1: some of those really big plays that helped the Bills

1822
01:40:49,720 --> 01:40:53,880
Speaker 1: score a whole lot of points. And absolutely and one

1823
01:40:53,880 --> 01:40:56,439
Speaker 1: of the other things I knew was going to happen today, somehow,

1824
01:40:56,560 --> 01:40:58,479
Speaker 1: some way, Josh Allen is going to be included in

1825
01:40:58,479 --> 01:41:03,519
Speaker 1: these because that guy was lightning it up. Josh Allen

1826
01:41:03,680 --> 01:41:07,360
Speaker 1: is our rocket man. He gets our rocket Man award.

1827
01:41:07,439 --> 01:41:12,040
Speaker 1: I mean he was the rocket launching the fireworks, dialing

1828
01:41:12,120 --> 01:41:16,120
Speaker 1: up the deep ball time and time again and succeeding

1829
01:41:16,200 --> 01:41:18,720
Speaker 1: on it too. The Steelers defense, now I know they

1830
01:41:18,720 --> 01:41:22,080
Speaker 1: were injured, but going into this game really good against

1831
01:41:22,080 --> 01:41:25,360
Speaker 1: the deep ball. On defense, they led the NFL forcing

1832
01:41:25,400 --> 01:41:28,439
Speaker 1: three interceptions on deep balls had only allowed ninety eight

1833
01:41:29,520 --> 01:41:34,360
Speaker 1: deep passing yards and Josh Allen does what Josh Allen does,

1834
01:41:34,400 --> 01:41:38,120
Speaker 1: and he passed all over this Steelers defense with the

1835
01:41:38,160 --> 01:41:41,000
Speaker 1: deep ball. Josh Allen going into this game led the

1836
01:41:41,080 --> 01:41:44,080
Speaker 1: NFL one forty nine point three passer rating on deep ball.

1837
01:41:44,120 --> 01:41:46,640
Speaker 1: I'm sure that goes up after this game. I mean,

1838
01:41:46,680 --> 01:41:49,400
Speaker 1: four hundred twenty four passing yards a new club record

1839
01:41:49,479 --> 01:41:53,840
Speaker 1: and regulation. He impresses people in so many different ways.

1840
01:41:54,120 --> 01:41:56,479
Speaker 1: I love seeing Buffalo go to the deep ball in

1841
01:41:56,520 --> 01:41:58,200
Speaker 1: this one, showing that they can win in a lot

1842
01:41:58,240 --> 01:42:00,559
Speaker 1: of different ways. You're gonna have to use a lot

1843
01:42:00,560 --> 01:42:03,240
Speaker 1: of different ways to win against the Kansas City Chiefs,

1844
01:42:03,240 --> 01:42:05,719
Speaker 1: so it was nice to see them succeed on something

1845
01:42:05,720 --> 01:42:08,040
Speaker 1: like this. And I love the first drive of the game.

1846
01:42:08,040 --> 01:42:09,960
Speaker 1: They're backed up on a third and long at their

1847
01:42:09,960 --> 01:42:13,880
Speaker 1: own two yard line and Josh Allen finds Gabe Davis

1848
01:42:13,920 --> 01:42:18,000
Speaker 1: for a ninety eight yards score. So impressive, Such a

1849
01:42:18,080 --> 01:42:21,760
Speaker 1: momentum giver to this game. He's so important to this

1850
01:42:21,800 --> 01:42:24,160
Speaker 1: team and how they're able to win week and week

1851
01:42:24,240 --> 01:42:26,400
Speaker 1: week out. All Right, we're getting to the time of

1852
01:42:26,400 --> 01:42:30,280
Speaker 1: the year where everybody's furnaces are kicking on Dad's getting

1853
01:42:30,320 --> 01:42:33,800
Speaker 1: flipped over from AC to heat and you've got the

1854
01:42:33,840 --> 01:42:36,720
Speaker 1: Heating Up award. Heating Up, it's got to go to

1855
01:42:36,760 --> 01:42:40,080
Speaker 1: the depth and the rookies who played in yesterday's game,

1856
01:42:40,160 --> 01:42:43,040
Speaker 1: another game that the Buffalo Bills were banged up for,

1857
01:42:43,320 --> 01:42:45,599
Speaker 1: so you had to call on some of the rookies.

1858
01:42:45,880 --> 01:42:49,400
Speaker 1: Khalil Shakir got involved in things. Quentin Morris got involved

1859
01:42:49,400 --> 01:42:52,679
Speaker 1: in things, not a rookie, but a younger player, Isaiah Hodges,

1860
01:42:53,080 --> 01:42:57,320
Speaker 1: Kier Elam, James Cook. So it was really nice to

1861
01:42:57,360 --> 01:43:00,160
Speaker 1: see all of these guys step up. Khalil Shakir had

1862
01:43:00,200 --> 01:43:02,600
Speaker 1: a great game. He had some really tough catches that

1863
01:43:02,680 --> 01:43:05,680
Speaker 1: he made. That touchdown that he had had to kind

1864
01:43:05,720 --> 01:43:08,360
Speaker 1: of come back to the ball and catch it not

1865
01:43:08,479 --> 01:43:11,200
Speaker 1: easy to do when a defender is right on your hip.

1866
01:43:11,760 --> 01:43:15,000
Speaker 1: Also caught a great pass in some traffic. I mean,

1867
01:43:15,080 --> 01:43:18,200
Speaker 1: Kayer Elam was picked on all day and he was

1868
01:43:18,240 --> 01:43:20,720
Speaker 1: able to get an interception. Nice to see him come

1869
01:43:20,760 --> 01:43:24,320
Speaker 1: back in that way. Quinn Morris, Isaiah Hodgens, and Klil

1870
01:43:24,360 --> 01:43:28,040
Speaker 1: Shakier combined for ten receptions for one hundred and fifty

1871
01:43:28,080 --> 01:43:31,080
Speaker 1: five receiving yards. I don't think you could have guessed

1872
01:43:31,080 --> 01:43:33,920
Speaker 1: that that was going to happen in yesterday's game. But

1873
01:43:34,040 --> 01:43:37,200
Speaker 1: you need the depth now of course because of the injuries,

1874
01:43:37,280 --> 01:43:40,080
Speaker 1: and it's going to pay off later if this team

1875
01:43:40,160 --> 01:43:42,760
Speaker 1: can get healthy, because you're just going to have more

1876
01:43:42,840 --> 01:43:45,599
Speaker 1: options toward the end of the season if these guys

1877
01:43:45,600 --> 01:43:48,800
Speaker 1: are able to get valuable reps and snaps now, which

1878
01:43:48,840 --> 01:43:51,000
Speaker 1: is what is happening. It was nice to see James

1879
01:43:51,000 --> 01:43:54,280
Speaker 1: Cook get that first rushing touchdown, dust off some of

1880
01:43:54,280 --> 01:43:58,479
Speaker 1: those you know jitters, whatever it is in your rookie season.

1881
01:43:59,680 --> 01:44:02,559
Speaker 1: They're going to need him going forward. Damar Hamlin, Jikwon

1882
01:44:02,680 --> 01:44:05,519
Speaker 1: Johnson a big effort out of this depth. They've had

1883
01:44:05,560 --> 01:44:08,240
Speaker 1: to rely on the depth through the first five games

1884
01:44:08,240 --> 01:44:10,640
Speaker 1: of the season. Hopefully that's not the case in the

1885
01:44:10,640 --> 01:44:12,639
Speaker 1: middle to the end of the season. But it's nice

1886
01:44:12,680 --> 01:44:14,920
Speaker 1: that you can rotate guys in and out. Yeah, no,

1887
01:44:15,040 --> 01:44:17,559
Speaker 1: feel won't comfortable putting in late in the season. There

1888
01:44:17,560 --> 01:44:19,640
Speaker 1: will be no angst about what's going to happen if

1889
01:44:19,680 --> 01:44:21,360
Speaker 1: they do. Have to make sure there's no doubt that

1890
01:44:21,520 --> 01:44:24,880
Speaker 1: because of it. Yeah, and on this one, a phrase

1891
01:44:24,920 --> 01:44:27,519
Speaker 1: we've been hearing a lot of lately, don't blink Award,

1892
01:44:27,840 --> 01:44:31,519
Speaker 1: don't blink is going to our second half defense? Could

1893
01:44:31,520 --> 01:44:33,920
Speaker 1: this be the new motto for the team? Don't blink?

1894
01:44:34,360 --> 01:44:36,640
Speaker 1: It's something that von Miller said quite a bit when

1895
01:44:36,720 --> 01:44:40,320
Speaker 1: he was miked up. It's saying that I think has

1896
01:44:40,560 --> 01:44:43,200
Speaker 1: gone across the locker room because you have Jordan Poyer

1897
01:44:43,280 --> 01:44:46,439
Speaker 1: saying it, you have Sean McDermott also saying it as well.

1898
01:44:46,479 --> 01:44:49,600
Speaker 1: And the Buffalo Bill's defense did not blink in that

1899
01:44:49,720 --> 01:44:53,559
Speaker 1: second half because they didn't allow any points. And through

1900
01:44:53,600 --> 01:44:56,080
Speaker 1: the first five games of the season, they've just allowed

1901
01:44:56,360 --> 01:44:59,760
Speaker 1: seven points in the second half zero points in the

1902
01:44:59,760 --> 01:45:03,680
Speaker 1: third quarter so far. That is insane. It's like this

1903
01:45:03,800 --> 01:45:07,760
Speaker 1: defense asks opposing offenses in the first half, show us

1904
01:45:07,800 --> 01:45:10,080
Speaker 1: what you got. Put it out there, because we're gonna

1905
01:45:10,080 --> 01:45:12,800
Speaker 1: go into the locker room and we're gonna make adjustments

1906
01:45:12,840 --> 01:45:15,200
Speaker 1: to what you're doing, and then we're not going to

1907
01:45:15,240 --> 01:45:18,120
Speaker 1: allow any points in the second half of things. So

1908
01:45:18,240 --> 01:45:21,639
Speaker 1: impressive by the defense and Leslie Fraser what they're able

1909
01:45:21,680 --> 01:45:24,320
Speaker 1: to do game in game out, how they can really

1910
01:45:24,439 --> 01:45:28,559
Speaker 1: change their identity week to week. Bills lead the league

1911
01:45:28,560 --> 01:45:31,800
Speaker 1: in point differential by a wide margin. Already, they're at

1912
01:45:31,800 --> 01:45:34,560
Speaker 1: plus ninety one. The next closest teams or Philly and

1913
01:45:34,640 --> 01:45:38,599
Speaker 1: sanfran at plus forty seven, so almost double already after

1914
01:45:38,800 --> 01:45:42,160
Speaker 1: five weeks. It's pretty crazy, all right, Hats off award.

1915
01:45:42,479 --> 01:45:44,920
Speaker 1: Gotta give hats off to Sean McDermott. I mean, what

1916
01:45:45,000 --> 01:45:47,960
Speaker 1: he has done since he's came in here in twenty seventeen.

1917
01:45:48,400 --> 01:45:51,920
Speaker 1: He now passes Marv Levy, which is a big name

1918
01:45:52,000 --> 01:45:54,880
Speaker 1: for Bill's Mafia and for people who have followed this

1919
01:45:54,960 --> 01:45:58,479
Speaker 1: team for many years, passes mar for win percentage in

1920
01:45:58,520 --> 01:46:03,000
Speaker 1: the regular season. He's got over fifty wins. Now what

1921
01:46:03,080 --> 01:46:06,360
Speaker 1: he's done to rebuild when he got here, to the

1922
01:46:06,439 --> 01:46:10,000
Speaker 1: playoff wins, to the consistency that he's seen out of

1923
01:46:10,000 --> 01:46:12,599
Speaker 1: this team, to the way that this team is winning

1924
01:46:12,640 --> 01:46:15,680
Speaker 1: games this season. So hats off to Sean McDermott. A

1925
01:46:15,760 --> 01:46:18,160
Speaker 1: lot of work has been done since twenty seventeen and

1926
01:46:18,439 --> 01:46:20,720
Speaker 1: it's definitely paying off. Now he's got a nice game

1927
01:46:20,720 --> 01:46:24,240
Speaker 1: ball and the locker, yes for that, absolutely Now one

1928
01:46:24,360 --> 01:46:26,960
Speaker 1: last one for Bills fans, and you know Bill's Mafia

1929
01:46:27,040 --> 01:46:31,000
Speaker 1: doesn't forget their friends. The Cheerio Awards. Cheerio goes to

1930
01:46:31,640 --> 01:46:35,400
Speaker 1: Brian day Ball of the New York Giants. It's been

1931
01:46:35,520 --> 01:46:38,760
Speaker 1: so fun to watch this Giants team and see what

1932
01:46:38,800 --> 01:46:41,840
Speaker 1: they've done to start the season. It's their best start

1933
01:46:41,920 --> 01:46:44,640
Speaker 1: since two thousand and nine. I believe. They beat the

1934
01:46:44,680 --> 01:46:48,400
Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers in London. Day balls, walking off the field,

1935
01:46:49,000 --> 01:46:51,960
Speaker 1: arms everywhere. He's amped up and you've got to feel

1936
01:46:52,080 --> 01:46:53,960
Speaker 1: good for him and what he's been able to do.

1937
01:46:54,280 --> 01:46:57,599
Speaker 1: He's getting the best out of his players, using sae

1938
01:46:57,680 --> 01:47:01,000
Speaker 1: Quon Barkley in ways, using Daniel Joe in ways that

1939
01:47:01,000 --> 01:47:04,240
Speaker 1: that Daniel Jones hasn't been able to do yet, things

1940
01:47:04,240 --> 01:47:06,080
Speaker 1: that he hasn't been able to do the do yet.

1941
01:47:06,080 --> 01:47:09,599
Speaker 1: They're really fun team to watch. They play the Ravens next,

1942
01:47:09,840 --> 01:47:13,559
Speaker 1: so they've got a tough opponent again next week. But

1943
01:47:13,760 --> 01:47:16,439
Speaker 1: to see them beat the Green Bay Packers and Aaron

1944
01:47:16,560 --> 01:47:21,040
Speaker 1: Rodgers in London so awesome. Like watching Joe Shane rub

1945
01:47:21,160 --> 01:47:23,840
Speaker 1: his bald head like a like a lucky charm on

1946
01:47:23,880 --> 01:47:25,600
Speaker 1: the way off the field. There, that's Joe Shane in

1947
01:47:25,640 --> 01:47:29,120
Speaker 1: the suit rubbing him right on his right at lant

1948

Speaker 1: and his former Bill assistant to is Laura Young right there. Yeah,

01:47:35,400 --> 01:47:39,920
Speaker 1: coming down down. Yeah, that's a good group and yeah,

1951
01:47:40,120 --> 01:47:42,160

01:48:19,479 --> 01:48:22,080
Speaker 1: I'm ready. There he is, Hey Lewis. By the way,

1964
01:48:22,320 --> 01:48:24,840
Speaker 1: Hey guys, I'm ready to talk. I'd just like to

1965
01:48:24,840 --> 01:48:27,040
Speaker 1: give a shot out to your listeners. Be ready when

1966
01:48:27,080 --> 01:48:29,360
Speaker 1: they put you on, be ready, because it's an honor

1967
01:48:29,439 --> 01:48:32,760
Speaker 1: being on your show. And i'd also like to give

1968
01:48:32,840 --> 01:48:35,840
Speaker 1: Maddie it's her name's Maddie right, Yes, it's Maddie correct.

1969
01:48:36,439 --> 01:48:39,360
Speaker 1: I'd like to give Maddie an award. Oh you're getting okay,

1970
01:48:41,800 --> 01:48:44,120
Speaker 1: she gets things a lot of enthusiasm and fun to

1971
01:48:44,240 --> 01:48:46,600
Speaker 1: your show. I mean, not that your aren't already have it,

1972
01:48:46,680 --> 01:48:49,439
Speaker 1: but she adds nicely to the show. Well, that's just

1973
01:48:49,720 --> 01:48:56,080
Speaker 1: very nice. My opinion, running Okay, everybody's worried about running

1974
01:48:56,320 --> 01:48:59,560
Speaker 1: all right. Think of the Bills as Muhammad Ali in

1975
01:48:59,600 --> 01:49:04,080
Speaker 1: box teams. How many times did he go to the body? Honestly,

1976
01:49:04,120 --> 01:49:06,960
Speaker 1: I checked it out hardly ever. Okay, he was a

1977
01:49:07,000 --> 01:49:10,120
Speaker 1: head hunter. He had great you know, jabs, he had

1978
01:49:10,160 --> 01:49:13,760
Speaker 1: great hooks. He didn't need to go to the body. Okay.

1979
01:49:13,880 --> 01:49:16,120
Speaker 1: And that's the way the Bills are right now. They

1980
01:49:16,120 --> 01:49:18,040
Speaker 1: don't they don't need to have a running game. They

1981
01:49:18,040 --> 01:49:19,439
Speaker 1: want to have a running game. They could toss it

1982
01:49:19,479 --> 01:49:22,120
Speaker 1: out to the running backs. That's fine. But in the

1983
01:49:22,160 --> 01:49:27,400
Speaker 1: most part, Josh's Muhammad Ali. He's gonna throw those bombs,

1984
01:49:27,400 --> 01:49:32,120
Speaker 1: He's gonna throw those punches. So that's my opinion, all right.

1985
01:49:33,760 --> 01:49:36,639
Speaker 1: Just why you know, I wouldn't worry about the running game.

1986
01:49:36,840 --> 01:49:39,240
Speaker 1: They don't need the running game. They really don't, all right.

1987
01:49:39,320 --> 01:49:43,639
Speaker 1: I appreciate yea yea grind it out. Yeah, I'm I'm

1988
01:49:43,680 --> 01:49:47,120
Speaker 1: I'm kind of with you there, Lewis, and he was like,

1989
01:49:48,120 --> 01:49:49,880
Speaker 1: you don't even think they need the running game. Don't

1990
01:49:49,920 --> 01:49:53,080
Speaker 1: worry about the running game. He's there a knockout punched

1991
01:49:53,160 --> 01:49:55,559
Speaker 1: kind of team. We're including Maddie because she can't hear

1992
01:49:55,600 --> 01:50:01,360
Speaker 1: the callers we can. I don't think we're I don't

1993
01:50:01,360 --> 01:50:03,640
Speaker 1: think any of us are saying the Bills have to

1994
01:50:03,720 --> 01:50:06,479
Speaker 1: run it more. I just think and coach McDermott kind

1995
01:50:06,479 --> 01:50:09,040
Speaker 1: of echoes this sentiment. He just wants to be able

1996
01:50:09,080 --> 01:50:11,120
Speaker 1: to turn to the running game in a game where

1997
01:50:11,120 --> 01:50:13,080
Speaker 1: they might need it, either to put a game away

1998
01:50:13,200 --> 01:50:16,720
Speaker 1: four minute drill kind of thing, or if for some

1999
01:50:16,760 --> 01:50:19,080
Speaker 1: reason the passing games had a sink in a given day.

2000
01:50:19,400 --> 01:50:22,040
Speaker 1: He wants to be able to have confidence in turning

2001
01:50:22,080 --> 01:50:24,639
Speaker 1: to it, knowing it can produce for him. I don't

2002
01:50:24,640 --> 01:50:27,200
Speaker 1: think for a second they believe they should be a

2003
01:50:27,240 --> 01:50:30,640
Speaker 1: fifty fifty run pass team. I think you're going to

2004
01:50:30,760 --> 01:50:33,360
Speaker 1: need the run game in certain games. There is going

2005
01:50:33,439 --> 01:50:35,880
Speaker 1: to be a defense who does a good job at

2006
01:50:35,400 --> 01:50:37,960
Speaker 1: shutting down the pass, or you're going to need to

2007
01:50:38,000 --> 01:50:39,360
Speaker 1: go to it at the end of the game to

2008
01:50:39,400 --> 01:50:42,240
Speaker 1: run the clock out. The nice thing yesterday was all

2009
01:50:42,280 --> 01:50:46,040
Speaker 1: the running backs averaged over or at least seven yards

2010
01:50:46,080 --> 01:50:48,559
Speaker 1: a kerry Now Zach Moss only had that one attempt

2011
01:50:48,560 --> 01:50:52,240
Speaker 1: for seven yards, but everybody went over seven yards carry,

2012
01:50:52,280 --> 01:50:55,400
Speaker 1: which is a really good number. They didn't have several

2013
01:50:55,439 --> 01:50:58,120
Speaker 1: attempts by any means. Josh Allen was right up there

2014
01:50:59,400 --> 01:51:01,280
Speaker 1: in terms of the numbers that he put up in

2015
01:51:01,360 --> 01:51:04,280
Speaker 1: rushing yards. I know he's led the team through I

2016
01:51:04,320 --> 01:51:07,639
Speaker 1: think almost every single game in rushing yards besides one.

2017
01:51:08,200 --> 01:51:09,920
Speaker 1: So it'd be nice to see some of the running

2018
01:51:09,920 --> 01:51:13,439
Speaker 1: backs get in there with the numbers against the Chiefs.

2019
01:51:13,680 --> 01:51:15,960
Speaker 1: They're definitely a better run defense than they are a

2020
01:51:16,000 --> 01:51:21,720
Speaker 1: pass defense. Yeah, I would agree. I'm not into the

2021
01:51:21,880 --> 01:51:24,200
Speaker 1: run pass. It doesn't matter to me, And I said

2022
01:51:24,240 --> 01:51:26,000
Speaker 1: this made this point earlier. All I care about is

2023
01:51:26,000 --> 01:51:28,439
Speaker 1: some scoring points. If they score thirty five, forty points

2024
01:51:28,520 --> 01:51:31,000
Speaker 1: or whatever it is in the game, nobody cares. Nobody

2025
01:51:31,040 --> 01:51:32,559
Speaker 1: cares how you do it, And I don't care if

2026
01:51:32,600 --> 01:51:34,960
Speaker 1: you if you never throw it, or they don't care

2027
01:51:34,960 --> 01:51:36,920
Speaker 1: if you ever run it. If you're scoring points and

2028
01:51:36,960 --> 01:51:39,960
Speaker 1: you're efficient on your into offense, you're getting first down,

2029
01:51:40,000 --> 01:51:43,240
Speaker 1: first down, first down, touchdown, nobody cares how you do it.

2030
01:51:43,280 --> 01:51:44,800
Speaker 1: So that's all I care about. If they if they

2031
01:51:44,840 --> 01:51:47,680
Speaker 1: struggle to score points, they better figure they got to

2032
01:51:47,720 --> 01:51:49,400
Speaker 1: figure that out. And whether it's to run a pass

2033
01:51:49,520 --> 01:51:51,680
Speaker 1: or run more or pass more, it doesn't matter. They

2034
01:51:51,680 --> 01:51:53,200
Speaker 1: got to find a way to do that, all right,

2035
01:51:53,280 --> 01:51:56,120
Speaker 1: second shot for Trevor in cheek dawaga, Trevor, are you

2036
01:51:56,200 --> 01:52:01,400
Speaker 1: with us? Oh? Absolutely? Thank you gentlemen. How are you

2037
01:52:01,439 --> 01:52:03,280
Speaker 1: doing good? What do you got for us? I have

2038
01:52:03,360 --> 01:52:08,400
Speaker 1: a question. When somebody goes out of bounds, the clock stops.

2039
01:52:08,600 --> 01:52:13,479
Speaker 1: Is that correct? That's right? Why did I see the

2040
01:52:13,640 --> 01:52:18,479
Speaker 1: clock running after a half dozen times the old day,

2041
01:52:19,560 --> 01:52:23,240
Speaker 1: after every place the clock will run the final two minutes,

2042
01:52:23,240 --> 01:52:25,320
Speaker 1: it stops when you go out of bounds. No, I

2043
01:52:25,360 --> 01:52:28,040
Speaker 1: mean the entire game. I mean, okay, here's what happens.

2044
01:52:28,080 --> 01:52:31,679
Speaker 1: When they down the ball the clock. The clock stops

2045
01:52:31,800 --> 01:52:34,599
Speaker 1: until they down the ball in the middle of the field.

2046
01:52:34,640 --> 01:52:40,639
Speaker 1: Then it starts again. Okay, all right, And a couple

2047
01:52:40,640 --> 01:52:45,160
Speaker 1: of opinions. Uh, the offensive line has to get a

2048
01:52:45,200 --> 01:52:48,640
Speaker 1: lot of respect. Yes, that's a great And Steve, you

2049
01:52:48,680 --> 01:52:51,519
Speaker 1: should be in the all thing. And I'm going for you.

2050
01:52:52,200 --> 01:52:57,080
Speaker 1: Thanks say all right, thanks Trevor. Um. Trevor may still

2051
01:52:57,080 --> 01:53:01,000
Speaker 1: be partying from yesterday Trevor, it was he was pretty

2052
01:53:01,000 --> 01:53:05,599
Speaker 1: fired up. Um yeah, I mean I gotta look at

2053
01:53:05,640 --> 01:53:09,200
Speaker 1: I thought only in college football the clock stops every

2054
01:53:09,200 --> 01:53:11,960
Speaker 1: time there's a first down until the ball's reset and

2055
01:53:12,000 --> 01:53:13,680
Speaker 1: every time the ball goes out of bounds. But that

2056
01:53:13,760 --> 01:53:15,400
Speaker 1: is not the case in the NFL, which is why

2057
01:53:15,520 --> 01:53:18,439
Speaker 1: NFL games don't last as long. Out of bounds. The

2058
01:53:18,439 --> 01:53:21,200
Speaker 1: clock stops. If the ball goes out of bounds, the

2059
01:53:21,240 --> 01:53:26,720
Speaker 1: clock stops. Um, that's it, it does. It doesn't in

2060
01:53:26,760 --> 01:53:30,599
Speaker 1: the NFL, it doesn't, and it's not until it down.

2061
01:53:30,600 --> 01:53:32,679
Speaker 1: They what it is. They don't start the play clock

2062
01:53:34,360 --> 01:53:40,240
Speaker 1: until I'm not even sure exactly now, but yeah, that's

2063
01:53:40,240 --> 01:53:42,559
Speaker 1: how you stopped the clock. If right, Isa McKenzie gets

2064
01:53:42,560 --> 01:53:44,000
Speaker 1: out of bounds in Miami, they have a chance to

2065
01:53:44,040 --> 01:53:46,519
Speaker 1: kick the field goal. He didn't. Yeah, so they didn't.

2066
01:53:46,720 --> 01:53:49,120
Speaker 1: So yeah it every time you go out of bounds,

2067
01:53:49,120 --> 01:53:54,559
Speaker 1: the clock stops until the ball snapped again. The play clock, however,

2068
01:53:54,720 --> 01:53:57,000
Speaker 1: there are different ramifications of whether it's a forty second

2069
01:53:57,000 --> 01:53:59,080
Speaker 1: play clock or twenty five second play clock. All of

2070
01:53:59,160 --> 01:54:04,280
Speaker 1: that stuff's friend. Um there you have it, but yeah,

2071
01:54:04,320 --> 01:54:05,880
Speaker 1: you get that's how you stop the clock. You run

2072
01:54:05,880 --> 01:54:08,320
Speaker 1: out of bounds and the clock will stop. There to

2073
01:54:08,479 --> 01:54:10,800
Speaker 1: Bob and Colorado X, what do you got for us? Bob,

2074
01:54:10,880 --> 01:54:12,920
Speaker 1: You're on, You're on there, You're are Bob, You're on

2075
01:54:12,920 --> 01:54:16,680
Speaker 1: one Bill's Live. Gentlemen, thanks for having me on. I

2076
01:54:16,760 --> 01:54:19,960
Speaker 1: appreciate it. I'm a transplanted Buffalonian out here in Colorado.

2077
01:54:20,000 --> 01:54:23,000
Speaker 1: I do radio and I listen to you guys every day.

2078
01:54:23,040 --> 01:54:25,280
Speaker 1: You do a great job. So at that point aside,

2079
01:54:25,600 --> 01:54:29,680
Speaker 1: here's my question. Uh, the Bill's defense seems to have

2080
01:54:29,760 --> 01:54:34,400
Speaker 1: been playing very well lately. Jordan Poyer was injured in

2081
01:54:34,440 --> 01:54:37,720
Speaker 1: training camp, He's missed a couple of games. Do you

2082
01:54:37,800 --> 01:54:41,080
Speaker 1: think the Bill's defense is making a case to the

2083
01:54:41,120 --> 01:54:45,680
Speaker 1: brass not to pay Jordan Poyer. I think it's a

2084
01:54:45,840 --> 01:54:51,600
Speaker 1: it's a it's a valid point, um. And I've I've

2085
01:54:51,600 --> 01:54:55,400
Speaker 1: made this point as well. Jordan Poyer's early thirties playing

2086
01:54:55,480 --> 01:54:59,920
Speaker 1: well All Pro safety. Um, last year, is it a

2087
01:55:00,080 --> 01:55:04,600
Speaker 1: last year of his deal? So now? Yeah, so yeah,

2088
01:55:05,080 --> 01:55:08,240
Speaker 1: it's it's gonna be a tough to see, particularly if

2089
01:55:08,240 --> 01:55:11,080
Speaker 1: he can't get on the field and stay there consistently. Now,

2090
01:55:11,320 --> 01:55:13,360
Speaker 1: even in the first month of the season, he has

2091
01:55:13,360 --> 01:55:16,200
Speaker 1: played outstanding football. He's carried last season over into this

2092
01:55:16,240 --> 01:55:18,600
Speaker 1: and where he was All Pro last year. Remember he

2093
01:55:18,640 --> 01:55:21,520
Speaker 1: was All Pro last year, not Pro Bowl, which okay,

2094
01:55:22,640 --> 01:55:28,480
Speaker 1: so he's playing at a high level. But Jakwan Johnson

2095
01:55:28,480 --> 01:55:31,120
Speaker 1: and Damar Hammlin are playing at a high level as well.

2096
01:55:31,200 --> 01:55:34,480
Speaker 1: Now they they're getting the benefit of an outstanding defensive

2097
01:55:34,520 --> 01:55:36,960
Speaker 1: front that Poor years only had a month of this year.

2098
01:55:37,840 --> 01:55:40,640
Speaker 1: Last year was good, but it's not as good as

2099
01:55:40,640 --> 01:55:44,760
Speaker 1: this year. That's helping them, and so you can make

2100
01:55:44,800 --> 01:55:49,000
Speaker 1: a point to the Bill's brass. I would think of saying, listen,

2101
01:55:49,040 --> 01:55:52,600
Speaker 1: we're pretty good whether you're in there or not. We're

2102
01:55:52,600 --> 01:55:55,680
Speaker 1: gonna spend the money somewhere else kind of thing. I

2103
01:55:56,320 --> 01:55:58,600
Speaker 1: don't know that it's it's not. It's never a guarantee,

2104
01:55:59,600 --> 01:56:02,160
Speaker 1: but it's not and it isn't in this case for me,

2105
01:56:02,400 --> 01:56:04,720
Speaker 1: that Jordan Poor will be a Buffalo Bill next year

2106
01:56:05,600 --> 01:56:08,280
Speaker 1: because he doesn't have a contract. And this team's pretty

2107
01:56:08,320 --> 01:56:11,600
Speaker 1: good and they're showing they're pretty good with the depth

2108
01:56:11,640 --> 01:56:14,920
Speaker 1: that they have no matter who's in there, right, And

2109
01:56:14,920 --> 01:56:17,000
Speaker 1: I know it's sacrilege to think that because we all

2110
01:56:17,040 --> 01:56:18,640
Speaker 1: we all love the guy. I do. I think every

2111
01:56:18,760 --> 01:56:22,480
Speaker 1: all Bills fans love the guy, But it's a business,

2112
01:56:22,840 --> 01:56:25,760
Speaker 1: right he was. But I think the reason fans have

2113
01:56:25,760 --> 01:56:28,600
Speaker 1: a problem with it, Maddie is because they see him

2114
01:56:28,640 --> 01:56:31,400
Speaker 1: as a foundational piece of what has made the Bills

2115
01:56:31,400 --> 01:56:35,160
Speaker 1: what they are today. But in this league, like as

2116
01:56:35,240 --> 01:56:37,000
Speaker 1: much as we hate to say it, all good things

2117
01:56:37,040 --> 01:56:39,160
Speaker 1: have to come to an end. Yeah. All we may

2118
01:56:39,160 --> 01:56:41,040
Speaker 1: be out of control too. They may sign him to

2119
01:56:41,040 --> 01:56:45,680
Speaker 1: an extension this afternoon for all. Yeah, but it's not

2120
01:56:45,720 --> 01:56:48,680
Speaker 1: done until it's done. Yeah, He's definitely important to the defense.

2121
01:56:48,760 --> 01:56:51,120
Speaker 1: I mean, there's no Micah Hyde right now. What does

2122
01:56:51,120 --> 01:56:54,520
Speaker 1: this defense look like next year with Micah Hyde if

2123
01:56:54,560 --> 01:56:56,760
Speaker 1: Jordan Poyer was or was not in it. You also

2124
01:56:56,760 --> 01:56:59,960
Speaker 1: have to factor Trudevious White into things. I know Trevius

2125
01:57:00,160 --> 01:57:02,120
Speaker 1: is not a safety, but getting him back as a

2126
01:57:02,160 --> 01:57:05,680
Speaker 1: part of the secondary probably helps that group as a whole,

2127
01:57:06,360 --> 01:57:09,240
Speaker 1: whether or whether or not Jordan Poyer is a part

2128
01:57:09,280 --> 01:57:11,600
Speaker 1: of that group. And what we say when we say business,

2129
01:57:12,440 --> 01:57:15,840
Speaker 1: look at the players over the history of Brandon Bean's

2130
01:57:15,840 --> 01:57:20,240
Speaker 1: existence as general manager in Buffalo and the players that

2131
01:57:20,320 --> 01:57:25,640
Speaker 1: he has extended to long term contract extensions. He extends

2132
01:57:25,680 --> 01:57:28,839
Speaker 1: Tradavious White off of his first rookie contract. He extends

2133
01:57:28,880 --> 01:57:33,800
Speaker 1: Dion Dawkins, he extends, Matt Milano, he extends Josh Allen. Okay,

2134
01:57:33,960 --> 01:57:37,040
Speaker 1: you've got more players and Knox Dawson. Knox just got

2135
01:57:37,080 --> 01:57:41,600
Speaker 1: extended the last month. So you go down the list

2136
01:57:42,000 --> 01:57:44,960
Speaker 1: and next offseason there are going to be more players

2137
01:57:44,960 --> 01:57:48,320
Speaker 1: like that who are entering the prime of their careers.

2138
01:57:48,640 --> 01:57:52,440
Speaker 1: Tremaine Edmonds at Oliver, what do you do with Devin Singletary?

2139
01:57:52,520 --> 01:57:55,320
Speaker 1: Do you resign running backs to extensions? Most people say

2140
01:57:55,360 --> 01:57:58,320
Speaker 1: you don't because the law of diminishing return starts to

2141
01:57:58,400 --> 01:58:01,800
Speaker 1: kick in at age twenty. Gabe Davis. Gabe Davis is

2142
01:58:01,800 --> 01:58:04,800
Speaker 1: two years removed from needing a new contracts because they'll

2143
01:58:04,840 --> 01:58:07,440
Speaker 1: have another year after this. But yeah, that's a guy

2144
01:58:07,440 --> 01:58:10,400
Speaker 1: you got to start thinking about two. You cannot pay

2145
01:58:10,600 --> 01:58:13,960
Speaker 1: everybody on your roster, and more often than not, you

2146
01:58:14,040 --> 01:58:18,320
Speaker 1: have a longer You have a longer return on investment

2147
01:58:18,760 --> 01:58:21,360
Speaker 1: with the younger players than you do the older players.

2148
01:58:21,440 --> 01:58:25,960
Speaker 1: It's just simple NFL economics, and that's that's the rub here.

2149
01:58:26,440 --> 01:58:29,160
Speaker 1: Because if Jordan Poyer was twenty seven, he would already

2150
01:58:29,200 --> 01:58:31,480
Speaker 1: had an extension. I don't even think it's a question.

2151
01:58:32,080 --> 01:58:34,920
Speaker 1: The problem is he's thirty one, and where does the

2152
01:58:35,000 --> 01:58:37,600
Speaker 1: drop off happen at the safety position. If we don't

2153
01:58:37,640 --> 01:58:39,600
Speaker 1: think that the Bills have done the analytics on that,

2154
01:58:39,680 --> 01:58:42,400
Speaker 1: we're all kidding ourselves. They've done it, and I think

2155
01:58:42,440 --> 01:58:46,400
Speaker 1: that's why it's a precarious situation here in terms of

2156
01:58:46,800 --> 01:58:50,480
Speaker 1: you know, Jordan and his contract situation. It's unfortunate, but

2157
01:58:50,560 --> 01:58:54,280
Speaker 1: it's a necessary evil of staying perennially competitive. Yeah, there's

2158
01:58:54,280 --> 01:58:56,080
Speaker 1: a lot amounts to feed and you got to figure

2159
01:58:56,120 --> 01:58:58,200
Speaker 1: out what's what's at the top of that list and

2160
01:58:58,560 --> 01:59:01,760
Speaker 1: what gets cut. Unfortunately, can't feed them all. That's right,

2161
01:59:01,800 --> 01:59:03,440
Speaker 1: all right, Maddie, thanks for joining us here for the

2162
01:59:03,440 --> 01:59:05,760
Speaker 1: Mandi Awards in a little bonus time. We have to

2163
01:59:05,760 --> 01:59:08,920
Speaker 1: take a break, though, because coming up next is Bill's

Speaker 1: radio color analyst Eric Wood with his thoughts from the

2165
01:59:12,360 --> 01:59:15,480
Speaker 1: booth on yesterday's big win over the Steelers. He joins

Speaker 1: Back the BFLO Store Legend of the Game Center, Eric Wood,

2168
01:59:40,760 --> 01:59:57,320
Speaker 1: Bill's mofia. Hey, Hey, let's go Buffalo. Let's go Buffalo.

2169
02:00:01,160 --> 02:00:07,080
Speaker 1: Where else would you rather be than right here? Right now?

2170
02:00:09,800 --> 02:00:15,200
Speaker 1: Let's go. That's about as close as you can get

2171
02:00:15,200 --> 02:00:17,480
Speaker 1: to being a rock star with an audience, right, I mean,

2172
02:00:17,520 --> 02:00:21,360
Speaker 1: that's unbelievable. Legend of the game yesterday, and I think

2173
02:00:21,360 --> 02:00:24,600
Speaker 1: he's gonna be asked back for a return appearance after

2174
02:00:24,640 --> 02:00:28,400
Speaker 1: the outcome of that game thirty eight to three. Holy mackerel.

2175
02:00:28,560 --> 02:00:31,720
Speaker 1: Eric wood Builds radio color analyst who had to do

2176
02:00:31,800 --> 02:00:34,320
Speaker 1: the hundred yard dash up the stairs back to the

2177
02:00:34,440 --> 02:00:40,400
Speaker 1: radio booth before kickoff? Did you make it? I did now.

2178
02:00:40,800 --> 02:00:43,280
Speaker 1: I saw the fumbled snap at the beginning, I was

2179
02:00:43,320 --> 02:00:45,680
Speaker 1: watching the scoreboard and I got up there. The first

2180
02:00:45,680 --> 02:00:48,200
Speaker 1: play I got up there for was the ninety eight

2181
02:00:48,280 --> 02:00:50,960
Speaker 1: yard touchdown to Gave Davis and I talked to Josh

2182
02:00:51,040 --> 02:00:52,720
Speaker 1: and like, I don't want to take all the credit,

2183
02:00:52,760 --> 02:00:55,360
Speaker 1: but he said, like, literally, that was all on you.

2184
02:00:55,360 --> 02:00:58,440
Speaker 1: You got us going for that moment, and you know,

2185
02:00:58,520 --> 02:01:02,600
Speaker 1: Taiwan set it up perfectly to get the longest play

2186
02:01:02,640 --> 02:01:05,960
Speaker 1: in Bill's history right after I led the charge. So

2187
02:01:06,240 --> 02:01:08,080
Speaker 1: it was a perfect storm. Yeah, it was all yeah,

2188
02:01:08,440 --> 02:01:13,120
Speaker 1: all the It was a perfect confluence of events that

2189
02:01:13,200 --> 02:01:16,680
Speaker 1: led to a ninety eight yard touchdown pass. Your contribution

2190
02:01:16,720 --> 02:01:20,760
Speaker 1: won't be overlooked. That's awesome, right, thanks guys. Yeah, the

2191
02:01:20,880 --> 02:01:23,240
Speaker 1: perfect What do you think I mean? For me, and

2192
02:01:23,280 --> 02:01:26,360
Speaker 1: I told this, and Bill's fans feel it more than

2193
02:01:26,440 --> 02:01:28,680
Speaker 1: you really are. Taking the players feeling too. You gut

2194
02:01:28,720 --> 02:01:32,160
Speaker 1: a quick touchdown like that, particularly a touchdown of that nature.

2195
02:01:33,000 --> 02:01:35,440
Speaker 1: It's an enormous stress relief, isn't it. I mean, it's

2196
02:01:35,480 --> 02:01:37,400
Speaker 1: a great Not only do you get all the angst

2197
02:01:37,400 --> 02:01:39,840
Speaker 1: and the like, wow, I hope we really play well today,

2198
02:01:40,000 --> 02:01:43,480
Speaker 1: it also fires you up to move forward. So it's

2199
02:01:43,560 --> 02:01:47,040
Speaker 1: really a two edged sword, both edges cutting your way.

2200
02:01:47,360 --> 02:01:50,680
Speaker 1: It's the relief of getting off to a fast start,

2201
02:01:50,760 --> 02:01:54,000
Speaker 1: putting them in a hole, and then also giving you

2202
02:01:54,280 --> 02:01:57,240
Speaker 1: getting you fired up to move ahead and really put

2203
02:01:57,240 --> 02:02:01,800
Speaker 1: it to them. Yeah, you're exactly what Steven. This Steelers organization,

2204
02:02:01,840 --> 02:02:04,680
Speaker 1: they're in a period of transition. They're moving from Roethlisberger

2205
02:02:05,760 --> 02:02:07,920
Speaker 1: onto Kenny Picket or whoever is going to lead that

2206
02:02:08,000 --> 02:02:10,680
Speaker 1: organization at the quarterback position. But they're in a period

2207
02:02:10,680 --> 02:02:12,640
Speaker 1: of transition right now. They're sitting that one in four.

2208
02:02:12,800 --> 02:02:15,800
Speaker 1: This organization with the Steelers is not used to being

2209
02:02:15,840 --> 02:02:18,520
Speaker 1: in that position. But that being said, there are a

2210
02:02:18,560 --> 02:02:22,520
Speaker 1: fourteen point underdog at Buffalo and it's the largest underdog

2211
02:02:22,560 --> 02:02:26,800
Speaker 1: they've been in team history. But then all you're thinking is,

2212
02:02:26,800 --> 02:02:29,320
Speaker 1: if you're the Bills, and as we cover, the team

2213
02:02:29,400 --> 02:02:31,720
Speaker 1: is as long as something crazy doesn't happen, similar to

2214
02:02:31,720 --> 02:02:34,040
Speaker 1: the blocked punt for a touchdown last year. As long

2215
02:02:34,080 --> 02:02:36,320
Speaker 1: as something crazy doesn't happen, then the Bills are going

2216
02:02:36,360 --> 02:02:39,160
Speaker 1: to get away here, likely with an easy victory. And

2217
02:02:39,200 --> 02:02:43,360
Speaker 1: then you muff the opening kickoff it's windy, but then

2218
02:02:43,400 --> 02:02:45,320
Speaker 1: on the third play of the game you throw a

2219
02:02:45,400 --> 02:02:48,880
Speaker 1: strike for ninety eight yards, put up seven points, and

2220
02:02:48,960 --> 02:02:51,200
Speaker 1: really the Bills are off to the races after that.

2221
02:02:51,840 --> 02:02:54,960
Speaker 1: What I know you've talked about this before, Eric, the

2222
02:02:55,080 --> 02:02:58,400
Speaker 1: RPO game that Coach Dorsey has kind of leaned on

2223
02:02:58,640 --> 02:03:03,080
Speaker 1: to gain track in the run game. It seemed to

2224
02:03:03,120 --> 02:03:05,960
Speaker 1: be the focal point of the run game again yesterday

2225
02:03:06,400 --> 02:03:10,960
Speaker 1: for long stretches and it yielded results. Maybe the score

2226
02:03:11,000 --> 02:03:14,800
Speaker 1: on the board lent itself to giving it more success

2227
02:03:15,000 --> 02:03:18,280
Speaker 1: and those dbs had to suddenly respect getting the ball

2228
02:03:18,280 --> 02:03:20,520
Speaker 1: thrown over their head pretty early on in that game.

2229
02:03:21,640 --> 02:03:24,080
Speaker 1: Throw all that into the pot together for me, Eric,

2230
02:03:24,160 --> 02:03:27,240
Speaker 1: and tell me where the run game goes from here

2231
02:03:28,400 --> 02:03:32,520
Speaker 1: in light of how it's leaned on the RPO side

2232
02:03:32,520 --> 02:03:36,480
Speaker 1: of the ledger. Yeah, I mean, Josh Allen likes operating

2233
02:03:36,480 --> 02:03:38,760
Speaker 1: out of the shotgun. That's evident. Now they will run

2234
02:03:38,840 --> 02:03:42,800
Speaker 1: under center plays. They're not exclusively shotgun, but this Bill's

2235
02:03:42,880 --> 02:03:45,600
Speaker 1: offense has been its most effective in the shotgun. That

2236
02:03:45,680 --> 02:03:47,960
Speaker 1: being said, it could be difficult to run the ball

2237
02:03:47,960 --> 02:03:50,920
Speaker 1: of the shotgun. Generally it's predictive which way you're going

2238
02:03:51,000 --> 02:03:54,200
Speaker 1: to go you're going across the formation. That being said,

2239
02:03:55,280 --> 02:03:57,080
Speaker 1: in the last five or six games of the season

2240
02:03:57,280 --> 02:03:59,200
Speaker 1: last year, the Bills were finally able to find some

2241
02:03:59,320 --> 02:04:01,560
Speaker 1: rhythm in the run game, and you thought, Okay, maybe

2242
02:04:01,640 --> 02:04:03,800
Speaker 1: the start this season they would pick right back up

2243
02:04:03,840 --> 02:04:06,280
Speaker 1: with Ken Dorsey there, with Aaron Cromer as the new

2244
02:04:06,320 --> 02:04:08,760
Speaker 1: offensive line coach, some influence on the run game. It

2245
02:04:08,800 --> 02:04:11,760
Speaker 1: just hasn't been there. And yes, the you know, the

2246
02:04:11,920 --> 02:04:14,440
Speaker 1: stats will tell you that the Bills rush for four

2247
02:04:14,480 --> 02:04:16,920
Speaker 1: point five yards per carry heading into the Steelers game,

2248
02:04:17,240 --> 02:04:19,120
Speaker 1: but Josh Allen's they're leading rush or a lot of

2249
02:04:19,160 --> 02:04:22,360
Speaker 1: those are scrambles, and that's why it's skewed. The running

2250
02:04:22,360 --> 02:04:25,000
Speaker 1: backs aren't running the ball effectively. Now, yesterday they did

2251
02:04:25,080 --> 02:04:27,680
Speaker 1: and that's what a ten plus yard run called back

2252
02:04:27,720 --> 02:04:29,320
Speaker 1: because of a holding company or in the game that

2253
02:04:29,360 --> 02:04:31,840
Speaker 1: Devin Singletary had, but he runs the ball for seven

2254
02:04:31,920 --> 02:04:34,200
Speaker 1: yards of carry yesterday, and you know the Bills will

2255
02:04:34,240 --> 02:04:38,120
Speaker 1: be satisfied with seven her five even, but they rushed

2256
02:04:38,160 --> 02:04:40,680
Speaker 1: the ball for seven yards of carry yesterday with Singletary,

2257
02:04:40,760 --> 02:04:43,640
Speaker 1: and James Cook looked great yesterday as well. That being said,

2258
02:04:43,800 --> 02:04:46,240
Speaker 1: I think the identity of this Bill's offense and the

2259
02:04:46,400 --> 02:04:50,240
Speaker 1: run game will be shotgun runs. And not necessarily you

2260
02:04:50,240 --> 02:04:53,040
Speaker 1: don't want to You don't want to have Josh Allen

2261
02:04:53,080 --> 02:04:55,600
Speaker 1: almost even have the option of pulling it and reading

2262
02:04:55,640 --> 02:04:58,560
Speaker 1: it because you want to take less hits on him.

2263
02:04:58,600 --> 02:05:01,800
Speaker 1: And so it'll be those pin and pool RPO games,

2264
02:05:01,800 --> 02:05:04,560
Speaker 1: and the pin and pool runs are great for the

2265
02:05:04,640 --> 02:05:08,280
Speaker 1: RPOs for this reason. If Josh Allen's gonna if you

2266
02:05:08,320 --> 02:05:10,120
Speaker 1: get a pressure of look, if it's a bad look,

2267
02:05:10,280 --> 02:05:12,080
Speaker 1: Josh has got to get rid of the ball on

2268
02:05:12,200 --> 02:05:15,200
Speaker 1: a run play a designed run that has the option

2269
02:05:15,280 --> 02:05:17,840
Speaker 1: of a pass on it before the offensive line gets

2270
02:05:17,840 --> 02:05:20,680
Speaker 1: one yard down the field. If everyone is power blocking,

2271
02:05:20,760 --> 02:05:23,760
Speaker 1: you're double teaming right off the snap. It becomes a

2272
02:05:23,880 --> 02:05:27,040
Speaker 1: very fast decision for Josh. When you have the RPO

2273
02:05:27,120 --> 02:05:30,240
Speaker 1: or when you have the pin and pool schemes take longer,

2274
02:05:30,360 --> 02:05:32,400
Speaker 1: so the guy's pinning are not going down the field,

2275
02:05:32,520 --> 02:05:35,120
Speaker 1: the guy's pulling or even behind the line of scrimmage.

2276
02:05:35,160 --> 02:05:39,080
Speaker 1: So it becomes this incredible concept to run with the RPOs.

2277
02:05:39,200 --> 02:05:42,000
Speaker 1: And you guys know, one of my biggest critiques is

2278
02:05:42,040 --> 02:05:46,400
Speaker 1: when people call just traditional play action RPOs. You know,

2279
02:05:46,800 --> 02:05:49,480
Speaker 1: that's just a play action pass. Yesterday, the Bill is

2280
02:05:49,560 --> 02:05:52,480
Speaker 1: running a number of RPOs against the Steelers, and really,

2281
02:05:52,520 --> 02:05:55,240
Speaker 1: if it was a bad look, Josh was making very

2282
02:05:55,240 --> 02:05:58,480
Speaker 1: easy completions to the outside, which is essentially an extension

2283
02:05:58,520 --> 02:06:00,680
Speaker 1: of the run game that we've heard him talk about.

2284
02:06:01,080 --> 02:06:03,400
Speaker 1: What you think of the rookies and the depth players

2285
02:06:03,440 --> 02:06:05,440
Speaker 1: on the roster coming through in such a big way.

2286
02:06:05,520 --> 02:06:08,360
Speaker 1: And I know the Steelers, you know they're not you

2287
02:06:08,360 --> 02:06:10,120
Speaker 1: know they're they're having a down year and you had

2288
02:06:10,120 --> 02:06:13,120
Speaker 1: a rookie quarterback, all this stuff that you can discount

2289
02:06:13,200 --> 02:06:17,320
Speaker 1: the effort with. Still you got to be impressed with

2290
02:06:17,360 --> 02:06:19,200
Speaker 1: the youth and the depth on the roster that played

2291
02:06:19,240 --> 02:06:22,200
Speaker 1: so well. Yeah, it looks like another hit of a

2292
02:06:22,320 --> 02:06:24,920
Speaker 1: draft class. And you know, we when you can get

2293
02:06:25,000 --> 02:06:27,560
Speaker 1: value like Christian Benford in the sixth round, who wasn't

2294
02:06:27,560 --> 02:06:29,680
Speaker 1: even able to play yesterday, but then he ends up

2295
02:06:29,720 --> 02:06:31,760
Speaker 1: starting at cornerback for you to start the year and

2296
02:06:31,800 --> 02:06:35,680
Speaker 1: playing at a high level. That's absolutely remarkable and almost

2297
02:06:35,760 --> 02:06:38,040
Speaker 1: unheard of to have a rookie step in at the

2298
02:06:38,080 --> 02:06:40,520
Speaker 1: cornerback position like that. But then you have Kyer Elam

2299
02:06:40,600 --> 02:06:43,240
Speaker 1: your first round who records his first interception of his

2300
02:06:43,360 --> 02:06:46,560
Speaker 1: career yesterday, and you have Kulio Shakir. You have James

2301
02:06:46,640 --> 02:06:51,280
Speaker 1: Cook get his first touchdown of his career, Benford gets

2302
02:06:51,280 --> 02:06:53,880
Speaker 1: a bunch of steps, Specter gets snaps at the end

2303
02:06:53,880 --> 02:06:56,960
Speaker 1: of the game. That's valuable experience. And a lot of

2304
02:06:56,960 --> 02:07:00,280
Speaker 1: guys contributing in a big way as rookies yesterday even

2305
02:07:00,320 --> 02:07:02,720
Speaker 1: before the game got out of hand. And man, I

2306
02:07:02,800 --> 02:07:06,200
Speaker 1: just I've really liked what I've seen about this rookie

2307
02:07:06,320 --> 02:07:09,520
Speaker 1: class with the early signs in this season just five

2308
02:07:09,600 --> 02:07:12,120
Speaker 1: games in. But when you think about the impact that

2309
02:07:12,200 --> 02:07:15,440
Speaker 1: Elam and Benford have had, and then Kalio Shakier, who's

2310
02:07:15,480 --> 02:07:18,600
Speaker 1: going to be our primary punt returner, but you know,

2311
02:07:18,640 --> 02:07:21,080
Speaker 1: in the last two weeks, has had great games catching

2312
02:07:21,080 --> 02:07:24,320
Speaker 1: the football as well. James Cook seems to be coming long.

2313
02:07:24,360 --> 02:07:26,400
Speaker 1: I love that touchdown run he had yesterday, just seemed

2314
02:07:26,400 --> 02:07:28,440
Speaker 1: more confident, like he put his foot in the ground

2315
02:07:28,680 --> 02:07:32,000
Speaker 1: and hit the hole. And when you're beating a team

2316
02:07:32,120 --> 02:07:34,280
Speaker 1: as bad as you are yesterday, you can get some

2317
02:07:34,400 --> 02:07:36,520
Speaker 1: run and hopefully I just want to see James Cooks

2318
02:07:36,560 --> 02:07:40,800
Speaker 1: take some confidence from that moment yesterday that he belongs

2319
02:07:40,800 --> 02:07:42,880
Speaker 1: in this league. Yes, you fumbled your first carry in

2320
02:07:42,920 --> 02:07:46,400
Speaker 1: the NFL and we lost the football. Oh well, so

2321
02:07:46,520 --> 02:07:48,880
Speaker 1: have a lot of great running backs. So is Christian McCaffrey.

2322
02:07:49,200 --> 02:07:52,440
Speaker 1: Get over it. And I thought yesterday he looked great. Yeah,

2323
02:07:52,480 --> 02:07:56,360
Speaker 1: I mean, you watch him shoot through that hole, Eric,

2324
02:07:57,040 --> 02:08:01,360
Speaker 1: you quickly realize this is the missing element that we

2325
02:08:01,480 --> 02:08:04,360
Speaker 1: haven't seen in the run game the last few years.

2326
02:08:04,360 --> 02:08:06,960
Speaker 1: And it's no knock on Singletary or Moss. They're different

2327
02:08:07,000 --> 02:08:10,160
Speaker 1: kinds of backs. But to have that element in your

2328
02:08:10,200 --> 02:08:14,760
Speaker 1: backfield just maybe speak to how that can put stress

2329
02:08:14,800 --> 02:08:17,440
Speaker 1: on a defense that's also terrified of getting a ball

2330
02:08:17,480 --> 02:08:21,400
Speaker 1: thrown over their head. Well, you look at the Miami

2331
02:08:21,440 --> 02:08:23,520
Speaker 1: Dolphins offense and when the Bills are going against them.

2332
02:08:23,560 --> 02:08:25,960
Speaker 1: Speed kills in the NFL, even in a game where

2333
02:08:25,960 --> 02:08:28,760
Speaker 1: everybody's fast, and in all league where everybody's fast, that

2334
02:08:28,880 --> 02:08:31,280
Speaker 1: top end speed kills. And when you talk about bringing

2335
02:08:31,360 --> 02:08:34,040
Speaker 1: James cook on the field and what the Bills will

2336
02:08:34,080 --> 02:08:37,080
Speaker 1: do in twenty one personnel, they'll line up in five lots. Well,

2337
02:08:37,120 --> 02:08:38,840
Speaker 1: now you have to honor James Cook is a very

2338
02:08:38,920 --> 02:08:42,000
Speaker 1: fast receiver out there. You're not worried about Devin Singletary

2339
02:08:42,080 --> 02:08:45,160
Speaker 1: taking the top off your defense. He's been very productive

2340
02:08:45,160 --> 02:08:46,800
Speaker 1: in the past game this year, but he's not going

2341
02:08:46,840 --> 02:08:49,280
Speaker 1: to take the top of the defense. James Cook can.

2342
02:08:49,400 --> 02:08:52,280
Speaker 1: James Cook can be an explosive running back for this offense.

2343
02:08:52,480 --> 02:08:54,200
Speaker 1: And when you look at where the Bills try to

2344
02:08:54,200 --> 02:08:56,600
Speaker 1: address it in free agency and then finally did in

2345
02:08:56,600 --> 02:08:59,640
Speaker 1: the draft with James Cook. They want a fast receiving

2346
02:09:00,080 --> 02:09:02,360
Speaker 1: running back and they figured as an offense, that's kind

2347
02:09:02,400 --> 02:09:05,040
Speaker 1: of the one missing piece. You know, you have high

2348
02:09:05,120 --> 02:09:09,200
Speaker 1: end receivers, you have a franchise left tackle, and Dion Dawkins,

2349
02:09:09,200 --> 02:09:11,240
Speaker 1: you have the top five quarterback in the league. What's

2350
02:09:11,240 --> 02:09:14,240
Speaker 1: that one missing piece? And it was explosive running back

2351
02:09:14,480 --> 02:09:16,520
Speaker 1: that can either a take the top off the defense

2352
02:09:16,600 --> 02:09:19,400
Speaker 1: or be a big time thread. And James Cook looks

2353
02:09:19,440 --> 02:09:22,400
Speaker 1: like it, yes looked like it yesterday. Now we'll see

2354
02:09:22,400 --> 02:09:25,120
Speaker 1: how the rest of the season shakes out, but yesterday

2355
02:09:25,200 --> 02:09:26,800
Speaker 1: is a game where he can he can draw some

2356
02:09:26,840 --> 02:09:29,640
Speaker 1: confidence from that. Yeah, let's give us an idea. I

2357
02:09:29,680 --> 02:09:31,960
Speaker 1: know you're still in town. You didn't you didn't bolt

2358
02:09:32,000 --> 02:09:34,400
Speaker 1: for Louisville right away. You've got a little event tonight,

2359
02:09:34,440 --> 02:09:38,680
Speaker 1: tell us about it. Yeah. So I'm recording this from

2360
02:09:38,720 --> 02:09:42,080
Speaker 1: the Harbor Center downtown and just had an incredible launch

2361
02:09:42,080 --> 02:09:45,840
Speaker 1: over at Sonny Reds. And these people of Buffalo, they're

2362
02:09:45,920 --> 02:09:49,360
Speaker 1: they're so incredibly generous. The event tonight, Flights and Bites

2363
02:09:49,920 --> 02:09:52,800
Speaker 1: benefiting the Evan Wood Fund, is sold out, So I

2364
02:09:52,840 --> 02:09:55,280
Speaker 1: apologize if you haven't been able to if you didn't

2365
02:09:55,280 --> 02:09:57,840
Speaker 1: get a ticket, and hopefully you can make it there

2366
02:09:57,920 --> 02:10:00,440
Speaker 1: next year. But um, we're gonna have a lot of fun.

2367
02:10:00,480 --> 02:10:02,440
Speaker 1: We have Chris Farrer and the Common Good. They came

2368
02:10:02,480 --> 02:10:05,560
Speaker 1: up from Nashville, Tennessee. They have residency at Justin Timberlake's

2369
02:10:05,560 --> 02:10:08,760
Speaker 1: Bar down in Nashville, so they're an incredible band. We'll

2370
02:10:08,800 --> 02:10:11,960
Speaker 1: have a great time raising money for a great cost tonight,

2371
02:10:12,160 --> 02:10:15,520
Speaker 1: and it's always a ton of fun. COVID kept some

2372
02:10:15,560 --> 02:10:17,200
Speaker 1: of the players out of there the last couple of

2373
02:10:17,280 --> 02:10:19,840
Speaker 1: years when I started this, when I was playing in

2374
02:10:19,880 --> 02:10:22,320
Speaker 1: the NFL and Tuesdays was our day off. So if

2375
02:10:22,320 --> 02:10:24,880
Speaker 1: we wanted to go out and stay out past maybe

2376
02:10:24,920 --> 02:10:27,560
Speaker 1: nine thirty Monday night would be a great night to

2377
02:10:27,600 --> 02:10:29,520
Speaker 1: do it. So hopefully we can get some guys from

2378
02:10:29,560 --> 02:10:32,440
Speaker 1: the team to show up and support as well. All Right, Eric,

2379
02:10:32,480 --> 02:10:34,920
Speaker 1: thanks for the time as always, and good luck with

2380
02:10:34,960 --> 02:10:38,480
Speaker 1: the event tonight. Thanks man, Thank you guys. All Right,

2381
02:10:38,520 --> 02:10:41,960
Speaker 1: that's Eric wood Bill's Radio Network color analyst with his

2382
02:10:42,040 --> 02:10:46,440
Speaker 1: thoughts on yesterday's beat down of the Steelers by a

2383
02:10:46,520 --> 02:10:49,280
Speaker 1: final of thirty eight to three. Steve and I take

2384
02:10:49,320 --> 02:10:52,600
Speaker 1: a break here, but we come back and discuss with you.

2385
02:10:53,240 --> 02:10:58,160
Speaker 1: The first head coach to meet the acts in the NFL.

2386
02:10:58,560 --> 02:11:00,600
Speaker 1: We'll tell you who it was next. On One Bills

2387
02:11:00,600 --> 02:11:18,480
Speaker 1: Live presented by Kalaida Health. It's Buffalo Bills Radio all right,

2388
02:11:18,640 --> 02:11:21,680
Speaker 1: Vision to Victory presented by Atwall Eyecare, the official eye

2389
02:11:21,680 --> 02:11:23,920
Speaker 1: care provider of the Buffalo Bills. We've talked enough about

2390
02:11:23,920 --> 02:11:28,240
Speaker 1: the explosive offense, Steve. The defensive effort was just as good,

2391
02:11:28,880 --> 02:11:31,840
Speaker 1: and I know we've talked about this at times during

2392
02:11:31,840 --> 02:11:38,040
Speaker 1: the season. Third down defense Steelers five or fifteen on conversions.

2393
02:11:38,560 --> 02:11:43,400
Speaker 1: Fourth down defense Steelers o for three on fourth down conversions.

2394
02:11:43,440 --> 02:11:46,800
Speaker 1: They had four turnover three turnovers on downs yesterday, and

2395
02:11:46,920 --> 02:11:50,120
Speaker 1: this one's probably the most important. The Steelers o for

2396
02:11:50,160 --> 02:11:54,840
Speaker 1: four in the red zone. Yeah. They the Bills almost

2397
02:11:55,040 --> 02:11:58,120
Speaker 1: shut them out yesterday. Yeah, and they did have a

2398
02:11:58,200 --> 02:12:03,040
Speaker 1: missed field goal two two missfield goals. Yeah. Boswell had

2399
02:12:03,040 --> 02:12:06,240
Speaker 1: a rough day, So there's that as well. But you know,

2400
02:12:06,280 --> 02:12:09,720
Speaker 1: holding the team, holding teams shut scoreless and shutting him

2401
02:12:09,720 --> 02:12:13,800
Speaker 1: out in the second half of all these games, that's

2402
02:12:13,800 --> 02:12:18,040
Speaker 1: a problem. It was funny because in the press box yesterday,

2403
02:12:18,200 --> 02:12:21,400
Speaker 1: we're all acutely aware of the fact that they haven't

2404
02:12:21,400 --> 02:12:23,400
Speaker 1: given up any points in the third quarter, and Boswell

2405
02:12:23,440 --> 02:12:26,080
Speaker 1: is lining up for a relatively makeable field goal with

2406
02:12:26,160 --> 02:12:30,240
Speaker 1: the wind at his back last play of the third quarter,

2407
02:12:30,320 --> 02:12:33,480
Speaker 1: so we're all like, oh, oh, is it gonna end?

2408
02:12:33,520 --> 02:12:35,600
Speaker 1: And then he missed it, and I was like, it's

2409
02:12:35,640 --> 02:12:38,360
Speaker 1: still a goo sec in the third quarter for the defense.

2410
02:12:42,280 --> 02:12:46,000
Speaker 1: You think about it, I don't know, I don't know

2411
02:12:46,000 --> 02:12:47,960
Speaker 1: if there's that much in it. And because there's certainly

2412
02:12:48,000 --> 02:12:50,000
Speaker 1: gonna there's gonna be teams that scoring the second half

2413
02:12:50,000 --> 02:12:53,280
Speaker 1: of these games against these guys, and you know, you know,

2414
02:12:53,360 --> 02:12:56,560
Speaker 1: they will all write the obligatory obituary to a nice

2415
02:12:56,560 --> 02:12:58,720
Speaker 1: streak that they had going. The thing that I was

2416
02:12:58,960 --> 02:13:01,160
Speaker 1: most concerned with, as I imagine, was a fact that

2417
02:13:01,600 --> 02:13:03,720
Speaker 1: it didn't look like they were gonna have to really punt,

2418
02:13:04,120 --> 02:13:08,040
Speaker 1: in fact, that fans were bitter twice right, it's a

2419
02:13:08,200 --> 02:13:10,640
Speaker 1: they were bitter the first punt he coming. It's like

2420
02:13:10,680 --> 02:13:13,920
Speaker 1: a fourth and one just on the Bill's side of

2421
02:13:13,920 --> 02:13:16,600
Speaker 1: the fifty, and the fans are going, what are you doing?

2422
02:13:16,720 --> 02:13:18,920
Speaker 1: Think about this? Are you giving up? Think about this?

2423
02:13:18,960 --> 02:13:22,760
Speaker 1: Because you and I have been here long enough the Bills.

2424
02:13:23,680 --> 02:13:27,520
Speaker 1: One of the Bill's most popular players during the playoff, Droute,

2425
02:13:28,080 --> 02:13:31,880
Speaker 1: was a by the name of Brian Mormon. Now things

2426
02:13:31,920 --> 02:13:35,960
Speaker 1: are so good that maybe the least popular player is

2427
02:13:36,000 --> 02:13:38,680
Speaker 1: Sam Martin. Martin who actually gets booed when he comes

2428
02:13:38,680 --> 02:13:41,800
Speaker 1: out to punt the football, because that's where we are now.

2429
02:13:42,240 --> 02:13:44,640
Speaker 1: I mean, it's not great for Sam Martin, but my god,

2430
02:13:44,760 --> 02:13:46,800
Speaker 1: is it glorious for the rest of it. It's better here.

2431
02:13:48,800 --> 02:13:53,000
Speaker 1: First head coach has been fired in the NFL, it

2432
02:13:53,120 --> 02:13:56,600
Speaker 1: is Matt rule Head, former head coach of the Carolina Panthers.

2433
02:13:56,640 --> 02:14:00,600
Speaker 1: Defensive coordinator Phil Snow also fired. There could be some

2434
02:14:00,640 --> 02:14:04,600
Speaker 1: more staff changes. Steve Wilkes is the interim head coach.

2435
02:14:04,680 --> 02:14:06,600
Speaker 1: He was the coach in Arizona for a year before

2436
02:14:06,600 --> 02:14:11,480
Speaker 1: he got bounced for Cliff Kingsbury. Right, that's a quick hook. Well,

2437
02:14:11,480 --> 02:14:13,760
Speaker 1: it's been a three year hook. It's been rough. It's

2438
02:14:13,760 --> 02:14:17,440
Speaker 1: been three years. He's you know one in fourth start

2439
02:14:17,520 --> 02:14:20,200
Speaker 1: he won eleven, and he went eleven and twenty seven

2440
02:14:20,200 --> 02:14:23,600
Speaker 1: and verse. Three years there had won one game here. Yeah,

2441
02:14:23,640 --> 02:14:26,600
Speaker 1: it was time. New ownership gave him plenty of time

2442
02:14:27,120 --> 02:14:30,200
Speaker 1: to find it. He just couldn't do it. Great leader,

2443
02:14:30,400 --> 02:14:33,240
Speaker 1: they just couldn't put it together in Carolina. Yeah, especially

2444
02:14:33,280 --> 02:14:35,880
Speaker 1: at the quarterback position. That's it for us. On a

2445
02:14:35,920 --> 02:14:39,480
Speaker 1: Buffalo football victory Monday. Join us tomorrow at one where,
