Speaker 1: the horizon with Pittsburgh coming up Sunday night football, big

14
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 1: national game against a team that has won eight of

15
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:57,320
Speaker 1: their last ten. Uh, and they're down to their fourth

16
00:00:57,320 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 1: string quarterback and they're still winning. You think you think

17
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 1: the Bills deep it's as good so as the Pittsburgh Steelers.

18
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:04,080
Speaker 1: They're playing really well too, Yeah, really good. It's gonna

19
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:05,400
Speaker 1: be a really nice I think it's gonna be another

20
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 1: one of those games, blow scoring you gotta play well, man,

21
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:11,319
Speaker 1: You gotta play well to win these games. And there

22
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 1: and of course this is a renew coming in and

23
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 1: even before the season began that this stretch of four

24
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:19,680
Speaker 1: games in here with you know, with Dallas and Baltimore

25
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 1: and Pittsburgh and New England, we're gonna be really the

26
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:24,479
Speaker 1: heart of the schedule. And we're in the midst of it. Yeah,

27
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 1: during the meat of the schedule. And it's fun, by

28
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:28,560
Speaker 1: the way, it's really fun. I was thinking about it

29
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:30,839
Speaker 1: last night, and I don't do any Monday night work

30
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 1: to get ready for the Steelers or and there's the

31
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:35,199
Speaker 1: other good thing about this week. It's a routine week.

32
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:37,919
Speaker 1: Now we're past the Thanksgiving blitz and all that stuff

33
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:40,319
Speaker 1: and Thursday game and then a weekend off and it's

34
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 1: a regular week. And I'm back to my regular schedule,

35
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 1: which includes getting busy on the Steelers tonight, looking at

36
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 1: some video, doing a depth chart, figuring out who plays,

37
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 1: were who plays. When it is an impressive defense for

38
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh Steelers, you have to acknowledge that Brian Dable

39
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 1: talked about them yesterday saying they got eight or nine

40
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 1: first rounders. I counted six first round here's in the defense.

41
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 1: But their numbers are strong defensively, their production is good,

42
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 1: and their home on Sunday night football, where they have

43
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 1: played a lot over the years, the Bills have not.

44
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:11,639
Speaker 1: This will be Buffalo's first Sunday night football game in

45
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:15,800
Speaker 1: twelve years, and the last one wasn't good two thousand

46
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 1: and seven, the terrible lawsuit New England. Here this is

47
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 1: a different team obviously, but and look the picture is

48
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 1: clear now. I think for the Bills, right, win a game,

49
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,799
Speaker 1: get in the playoffs. That's all it takes. Just about Yeah,

50
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 1: most of us feel like, look, let's get this over with, right,

51
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:32,799
Speaker 1: Let's win this next game, this one in particular, and

52
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:35,519
Speaker 1: claim your playoffs spot and then let it play out,

53
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 1: you know, fifth seed, sixth seed, maybe even more than that.

54
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 1: But it'd be nice to put that in the bank, right,

55
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 1: the playoff spot. It would be nice not to worry

56
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 1: about that these final three weeks of the season. Yeah,

57
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 1: I mean, you're always gonna worry about it, even when

58
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 1: you if you win a game and get in, you're

59
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 1: still gonna worry about Okay, Now, what does everybody else doing? Now?

60
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 1: The focus kind of changes for us fans on the

61
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 1: outside It won't and shouldn't change for the team. They're

62
00:02:57,720 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 1: gonna think about the next game. They're gonna think about

63
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:03,519
Speaker 1: the Patriots next week, and their advanced advanced scouts and

64
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:06,520
Speaker 1: their video and their videographers, all of that stuff that

65
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 1: you know, the Bills are going to be focused on

66
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 1: the game at hand, and that's what they should do.

67
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:11,920
Speaker 1: They're focused on the Steelers team. This is gonna be

68
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:15,799
Speaker 1: a team that's gonna come in and the Steelers I'm

69
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 1: talking about as a team that are gonna be be

70
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 1: at home on a Sunday night and they're gonna want

71
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 1: to make a statement of their own. The Bills can

72
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,519
Speaker 1: make all the statements they want by you know, on

73
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 1: Dallas against Dallas on Thanksgiving, they you know, come in

74
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 1: win a Monday night game or a Sunday night game

75
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:32,240
Speaker 1: on the road under the lights again, you know, for

76
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 1: the second time in a couple of weeks. But the

77
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 1: Steelers have got something to prove. They are down to

78
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 1: their number four quarterback on the roster and they're winning games.

79
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 1: Devlin Hodges is playing well enough for them to win

80
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 1: and it's because of their defense. They're constructed a lot

81
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 1: like the Bills are right now. They're leaning on the defense,

82
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 1: low scoring games, make enough plays to win it, and

83
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 1: they're getting it done. And so this is gonna be

84
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 1: a really tough game, particularly going into Pittsburgh. As last

85
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 1: I heard, is like a one point one point favorite. No,

86
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 1: the Bills. Yeah, the Bills are one point favorite, which

87
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 1: is disastrous. What do you mean home underdog? Yep, well,

88
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:17,160
Speaker 1: disastrous for betters or disastrous in reality? Disastrous. I don't

89
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:21,679
Speaker 1: really care about the best. Disastrous for the for the favorite. Okay,

90
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 1: why because when you're a dog at home under the

91
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:31,039
Speaker 1: bright lights, it it's motivating. Okay. He puts a chip

92
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:33,920
Speaker 1: on your shoulder, says, oh yeah, kind of thing. It's

93
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,719
Speaker 1: a perfect rallying cry for guys in the locker room say, oh,

94
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:38,159
Speaker 1: you don't think we can win in our own building.

95
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 1: Let's watch this and you get their best swing. And

96
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:42,719
Speaker 1: we've seen the team, you know, if we started seating,

97
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 1: certain teams come in and give Buffalo their best swing.

98
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 1: Philadelphia did it, Miami did it in their first match

99
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:50,160
Speaker 1: up here. They came in with that to that to date,

100
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 1: that was their best game of their season. Cleveland gave

101
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:55,839
Speaker 1: it to the Bills. Uh clearly gave them their best swing.

102
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 1: So it's you know, it's one of those times where

103
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 1: uh and I don't, I don't. I don't remember. Even

104
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,119
Speaker 1: if Bill Buffalo was a was a favorite going into Cleveland,

105
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:05,040
Speaker 1: I don't think they were. But it's that same kind

106
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:07,280
Speaker 1: of thing. You're going to get a real effort from

107
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 1: a team that hasn't shown much up to this point.

108
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 1: Not that Pittsburgh has been doing that, but but they've

109
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 1: been playing well. And I still think they're gonna dig

110
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,160
Speaker 1: deep and find something special for this game. If you're

111
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 1: a Steeler or a Steeler fan, that's okay, right. The

112
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 1: Bills have to match up against teams like this. The

113
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 1: Bills have to beat teams like this. They have to

114
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 1: beat teams like Baltimore or in New England if they're

115
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:28,919
Speaker 1: gonna do anything in the playoffs. So this get you know,

116
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 1: get your reps in now against Pittsburgh. Yeah, this Bill,

117
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 1: this Bill's eve being gonna shy away from any of that.

118
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,159
Speaker 1: They're ready for that. They'll they'll stand at from center

119
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 1: field and take them on for sure. That's what they

120
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:39,599
Speaker 1: do and there and they're gonna be pretty hard to

121
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 1: beat this, this Bill's team. But this is a tough game.

122
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 1: In Pittsburgh, no matter who's playing quarterback for him. So

123
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 1: it's a lot to think about. It's and you're right though, Yeah,

124
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 1: there's always this underlying angst about just getting in and

125
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,160
Speaker 1: clinching a playoff, getting a little asterix by your name

126
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 1: in the standings, you know where clinched, right, a little

127
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 1: why or an X? What is it a why or

128
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 1: an X if you clinch a spot but not you? Right,

129
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 1: you know what I'm talking about, right, So get it.

130
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 1: Go out and get that little tick by your name,

131
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 1: whatever it's an X or a Y or whatever, so

132
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:16,240
Speaker 1: you can move on with your season and kind of

133
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 1: take a deep breath and gather up. Yeah, win gets

134
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:22,039
Speaker 1: him in. That's all it takes, is a win. But

135
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 1: they are good. They're good on defense. Brian day Ball,

136
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 1: builds offensive coordinator, talked about it yesterday. Brian Dayball on

137
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:32,600
Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh Steelers defense at his news conference yesterday. They're

138
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 1: really good. Yeah. I think they got eight or nine

139
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:39,799
Speaker 1: first rounders. They can rush the passer, they can stop

140
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 1: to run. I mean again, we're just starting on them here,

141
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:46,480
Speaker 1: but I think their first in takeaways, second in league

142
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 1: in negative plays, first in sacks. Good situational football team.

143
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 1: They're seven and one their last eighty three and oz

144
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:59,480
Speaker 1: and their last three. Got a lot of good players,

145
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:02,839
Speaker 1: they got a good coaching staff. Again, the scheme and stuff,

146
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:05,040
Speaker 1: we're just we're getting out of them now. But um,

147
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:07,280
Speaker 1: you know, just a brief time that I started as

148
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 1: a pretty impressive group. It's, you know, another top five

149
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 1: or six defense like Denver was, like Dallas was, like

150
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 1: Baltimore is like they are. So we got to do

151
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 1: a good job of putting a good plan, having a

152
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 1: good week, and then playing in a tough environment. Can

153
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 1: you tell Brian Dabele used to work with Bill Belichick

154
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 1: when you hear when hears sound like that. So Belichick

155
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 1: could do it right no matter what the Bills record was.

156
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 1: Belichick on the conference called would be all that Buffalo

157
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 1: defense is really good. They got need start rattling off names,

158
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:37,560
Speaker 1: that's all I Brian Dable will say, Oh, they got

159
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 1: Joe Hayden and Manka Fitzpatrick and tyson 'allo 'allu, And

160
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 1: you know that's what Belichick would do. He's almost there.

161
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 1: He's almost there where Belichick would be. Yeah, he got

162
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 1: Belichick would go down the entire depth chart. Yes, seriously, Yes,

163
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 1: every single name on the depth chart defensively, yep, it

164
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 1: was brilliant. It was his recall was great. Pittsburgh's the

165
00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 1: fifth overall defense in the NFL, the Baltimore Ravens sixth.

166
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh gives up I think what I figured out earlier,

167
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:06,800
Speaker 1: fifteen points per game, by the way, the Bills give up. No,

168
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh gives up more than that. But the last several

169
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 1: games they've done a good job. Well, I got written

170
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 1: down right here. Why don't I consult my notes? It's

171
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 1: a really good defense that has played really well lately.

172
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 1: They give up an average of sixteen points in their

173
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 1: last eight games than they've gone seven to one. Five

174
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:23,239
Speaker 1: games before that, they gave up an average of twenty

175
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 1: two points per games, so they were about twenty one

176
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 1: points per game allowed. The Bills, by the way, our

177
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:29,200
Speaker 1: sixteen point three points per game allowed. And the Bills

178
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 1: out of the third ranked defense, two good defensive teams.

179
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 1: We expect another low score, right, and we look for

180
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 1: the Bill. Steve, I believe we look for the Bills

181
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 1: even again, staid capable. Really pretty good Pittsburgh defense. You

182
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 1: need to see him get better on offensive. Buffalo Bills.

183
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:47,320
Speaker 1: I expect to see more blitzes right this The Ravens

184
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 1: had had a way to defend the Bills, and it

185
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 1: was sending a blitzer's sixty seven percent of the past

186
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:56,719
Speaker 1: dropback sixty seven percent, two out of every three they

187
00:08:56,760 --> 00:09:00,200
Speaker 1: were blitzing h Josh Allen and it worked. Bills did

188
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:02,079
Speaker 1: not connect on the deep threats down field. They did

189
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,040
Speaker 1: not look to throw it short very often. Because the

190
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 1: game went along, they did a little bit um. They

191
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:08,839
Speaker 1: picked up the blitz, tried to but they were sending

192
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 1: so many people and zero coverage on the back end.

193
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 1: You can't block all those people. That was he just can't.

194
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 1: They always set one extra yeah, and or you know

195
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:18,560
Speaker 1: a lot of the time, uh, and you know, it

196
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 1: resulted in six sacks. It resulted in Josh, I think,

197
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 1: feeling differently about himself in the pocket. He wasn't you know,

198
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 1: a steady foot, you know what I mean. He didn't

199
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 1: You didn't see him standing back there as a statue

200
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:33,320
Speaker 1: very often in this game because of the pressure, and

201
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:35,719
Speaker 1: I think it probably affected his decision making a little bit,

202
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 1: knowing that he was getting hit quick, that he'd you know,

203
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:40,960
Speaker 1: he'd coughed it up once here and you're seeing here

204
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 1: on MSG. You know he got he got that sack

205
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 1: strip fumble. That sticks with you for a while. And

206
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 1: it's hard to trust your protection when you take a

207
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 1: shot like that and you give up a big play

208
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 1: like that. And uh, let's face it. Two, Baltimore is

209
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 1: good at all three, all three levels of their defense,

210
00:09:57,320 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 1: and they were covering some guys up in the back

211
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 1: end as well. So it's not you know, he missed

212
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:03,720
Speaker 1: it all the time, but certainly when he watches the

213
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 1: film of this, he will he'll know that on a

214
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:08,840
Speaker 1: number of occasions he did have an answer and just

215
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 1: made the different, wrong decision. And but you know, hey,

216
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 1: good defense and do that to you. Two good things too,

217
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:18,880
Speaker 1: I think pretty good signs before as we get and

218
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:21,960
Speaker 1: work our way towards our Twitter poll question today. But

219
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:25,079
Speaker 1: two good signs. This is important. I believe this is important.

220
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:28,559
Speaker 1: The Bills have yet to lose two straight games this year,

221
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:31,840
Speaker 1: two in a row. Right, lost to New England beat Tennessee.

222
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,480
Speaker 1: The next week, lost to Philadelphia beat Watching in the

223
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:36,959
Speaker 1: next week, lost to Cleveland beat Miami. Won three in

224
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 1: a row after that. So here's the loss against Baltimore

225
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 1: with three games to go. So you'd have to think

226
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 1: this Bill's team, with their good record, their nine and

227
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 1: four record, are accustomed to bouncing back at fixing problems.

228
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 1: That's number one. Number two, you know who, it seems

229
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:51,839
Speaker 1: to me, is pretty good at fixing problems and progressing

230
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 1: after rough games. Josh Allen. I believe he's done a

231
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:57,840
Speaker 1: really good job in his brief twenty four start NFL

232
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 1: career of bouncing back, identifying what he did wrong and

233
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 1: making him better following the game. I think Josh is

234
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 1: pretty good about that. After the New England game when

235
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 1: he turned it over four times, the focus was no

236
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:11,440
Speaker 1: more turnovers, no more turnovers. You know what. They stopped

237
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:13,839
Speaker 1: for the most part after the New England game. This

238
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:17,199
Speaker 1: game Baltimore, very tough opponent, number one team in the AFC,

239
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:19,679
Speaker 1: one of the best teams in the league. Puts the

240
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 1: heat on him on a consistent basis. And now Josh knows,

241
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:24,840
Speaker 1: and certainly they've already talked about it. We got to

242
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:27,080
Speaker 1: deal with this blitch. You're gonna see it again. And

243
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 1: for my money, Josh Allen, over his twenty four starts

244
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:33,559
Speaker 1: in the NFL, does a really good job at fixing

245
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 1: what went wrong. I think it's a testament to is

246
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 1: how hard he works, how smart he is, and how

247
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 1: receptive he is to try and get better. I expect

248
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 1: we'll see some of that this week's Yeah, I do too.

249
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:45,840
Speaker 1: And it'll be interesting too, because we had this conversation

250
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 1: after the Dallas game and we thought back to some

251
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 1: of the big moments in Josh's career and some of

252
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:55,200
Speaker 1: the moments when he shined pretty bright and played his

253
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:59,440
Speaker 1: best football was under on a big game, you know,

254
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 1: in a big momentum. It'll be interesting to see if

255
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 1: a Sunday night game, which is, you know, the marquee

256
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 1: game of the week in the NFL, if that trait continues.

257
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:11,719
Speaker 1: It's interesting to think about it, and we'll have to

258
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:15,679
Speaker 1: keep an eye on it. Obviously, to this point, it

259
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:17,560
Speaker 1: seems like maybe he does that. We've been talking about

260
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 1: that clutch gene and all that stuff, but he seems

261
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 1: to rise up when he knows people are watching in

262
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:26,520
Speaker 1: a big game, certainly, and like you said too, or

263
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 1: if there's two things working in favor of him playing

264
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 1: a lot better this week than last week. One, he

265
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 1: has always bounced back pretty well. He's followed a mistake

266
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 1: prone or whatever if three interception game and those kind

267
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:42,840
Speaker 1: of things. Uh, he's followed those up with really good

268
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:46,679
Speaker 1: games in the past. And he's also played well in

269
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:50,959
Speaker 1: big moments like that Thanksgiving game. So that's interesting. He

270
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:54,200
Speaker 1: maybe he will, maybe he will light it up. It'd

271
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:57,719
Speaker 1: be nice just to score one more point than the Steelers. Yeah,

272
00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 1: just you score four if they score three, war four.

273
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 1: So we'll see. So I want to get to our

274
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:07,720
Speaker 1: Twitter poll, but before that, I just want to make

275
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:10,960
Speaker 1: this note about the size of the audience and the

276
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 1: clutch gene that johsh Allen may possess. I think he

277
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 1: does too. It just struck me this morning. I was

278
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 1: looking over some numbers. So the Dallas Buffalo game Thanksgiving

279
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:24,360
Speaker 1: Day thirty two and a half million viewers right television viewers.

280
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:28,080
Speaker 1: Sunday night football is for the last ten years now

281
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:31,400
Speaker 1: the number one rated television show, not football game, number

282
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:34,120
Speaker 1: one rated television show on the air in America. And

283
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 1: they get big numbers even this year, and they get

284
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 1: about nineteen or twenty million viewers. Think about that, thirty

285
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:42,320
Speaker 1: two and a half million for the Thanksgiving Day game

286
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:46,280
Speaker 1: four o'clock in that prime position, and really significantly less

287
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:48,960
Speaker 1: than that for this game, nineteen twenty million, it'll be

288
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:51,640
Speaker 1: for the number one show on TV. I'm not saying

289
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:53,960
Speaker 1: there's not a lot of viewers. I'm just saying Thanksgiving

290
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 1: Day game is a beast for television and just for

291
00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 1: the record too. If Josh scores four points, it means

292
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 1: he's playing defense. They get two safeties. But still, but still,

293
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:05,800
Speaker 1: but still, you know that, you get the idea, you know,

294
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:08,480
Speaker 1: you gotta score. It's just one more point than they do. Steelers.

295
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 1: I would say, let's go out on a huge limb

296
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 1: and say the Steelers are not going to score a

297
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:18,080
Speaker 1: lot of points against this defense. Um, you just gotta

298
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 1: score a few more than they do. And a lot

299
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:23,640
Speaker 1: of the issues and a lot of the problems, a

300
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 1: lot of the stuff that the Baltimore Ravens seem to

301
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 1: bring out in are in the offense of the Buffalo Bills.

302
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 1: Get washed away for a minute, you know they really do.

303
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 1: Then you can come back and focus on on the

304
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 1: next game. But this is a game I think is

305
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 1: really important, uh for the offense to this football team.

306
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 1: The defense is established, it is playing well, it's consistent,

307
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 1: they're injury free, they're going you know, they're hitting on

308
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 1: all cylinders, and this offense continues to try and find

309
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 1: different ways to win. They gotta spread the ball out.

310
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 1: They gotta find, you know, Cole Beasley, they gotta you know,

311
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 1: Dawson Knox. And their margin of error is not that

312
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 1: they can't have Cole Beasley dropping a ball. They can't

313
00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:00,040
Speaker 1: have Dawson Knox dropping a ball. You know. They he

314
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 1: got a hit on those opportunities, and if they do

315
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 1: that goes a long way towards make them even more

316
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 1: difficult to beat. Yep. And that's we're gonna get to

317
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 1: our Twitter poll. I just want to let you know

358
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:10,560

359
00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 1: ahead of us the Bills in the Pittsburgh Steelers our

360
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:14,920
Speaker 1: Twitter poll. Finally we get to it, and we've already

361
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:16,639
Speaker 1: got eight hundred and seventy votes in on this, just

362
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 1: up for thirty minutes or so. It's it's an important

363
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 1: question because it deals with the Bills trying to right

364
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:24,680
Speaker 1: the ship after the loss to Baltimore. Here's the question,

365
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:27,560
Speaker 1: what's the most important adjustment the Buffalo offense can make?

366
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:30,359
Speaker 1: What's the most important adjustment for the Bills offense? What

367
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 1: do you think? I mean? There are problems to fix.

368
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:34,720
Speaker 1: There are some problems that can't be fixed over the

369
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:37,760
Speaker 1: next week or three weeks, including you know, adding wide

370
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:41,080
Speaker 1: receivers or maybe upgrading a tight end or adding new

371
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:44,800
Speaker 1: offensive lineman. Let's let's talk about short term here. What's

372
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:47,240
Speaker 1: the most important adjustment for the Bills offense this week

373
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:49,000
Speaker 1: and maybe the next three weeks? What do you think?

374
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:51,960
Speaker 1: Eight hundred seventy votes in so far, pretty close voting.

375
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:54,119
Speaker 1: Forty six percent of you say they've got to have

376
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:56,919
Speaker 1: an answer for the Blitz. And the answer can be

377
00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:00,840
Speaker 1: what hit some of those long passes, Maybe a screen pass,

378
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:04,240
Speaker 1: maybe a pass to the flats. Either side. You gotta

379
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 1: have an answer for the Blitz. You cannot let the

380
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:08,960
Speaker 1: Blitz run sixty seven percent of the time dominate you

381
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:11,760
Speaker 1: the way the Ravens did. Thirty eight percent say it's

382
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:14,920
Speaker 1: hit the deep ball opportunities, which kind of goes along

383
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:16,800
Speaker 1: with him an answer for the Blitz. But that's been

384
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 1: a season long problem for the Bills really, Josh having

385
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:23,399
Speaker 1: trouble connecting on receivers on deep passes. Thirteen percent of

386
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:26,160
Speaker 1: you say it is get more out of the short

387
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:28,280
Speaker 1: passing game. Again, this is part of having an answer

388
00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:30,520
Speaker 1: for the blitz. Three percent of something else in mind.

389
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 1: What do you think what's the most important adjustment for

390
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:35,359
Speaker 1: the Buffalo offense to make short term? Not in the draft,

391
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:37,879
Speaker 1: not in free agency, nobody on the stage suite and

392
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 1: help them this week because they got to fix it soon.

393
00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:42,680
Speaker 1: And let me tell you this, the playoffs are wait.

394
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:45,040
Speaker 1: The Bills ninety five percent chance of getting too the playoffs,

395
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:48,760
Speaker 1: but they better have an offense clicking a lot better

396
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:50,880
Speaker 1: than they did last Sunday if they plan on doing

397
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:53,960
Speaker 1: anything in the postseason. Steve and you guys wouldn't let

398
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:55,480
Speaker 1: me do my Twitter poll today. I wanted to say,

399
00:18:55,520 --> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 1: what's your favorite playoff matchup? Kansas City, Tennessee Houston. It's

400
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:02,919
Speaker 1: too soon. I get it's you're right, too soon, but

401
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:04,640
Speaker 1: I'm thinking a little bit. Yeah. Now't me talk about

402
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:06,639
Speaker 1: talking about how healthy they are. You think that's a

403
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 1: You think that's a jake. You're talking about. Look, they're

404
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:11,360
Speaker 1: gonna playoff match you're gonna make the matchup. You doubt

405
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:13,320
Speaker 1: they're gonna make the playoffs? Do not? I do not either,

406
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:15,960
Speaker 1: and I will not the point as soon as they

407
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:17,720
Speaker 1: make the playoffs. Can we talk about it then? Who

408
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:20,360
Speaker 1: do you want? Houston, Tennessee, Kansas City? Maybe I don't

409
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:22,199
Speaker 1: think there'll be in one of the conversations about it.

410
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:25,560
Speaker 1: I promise we'll talk about it. Today's conversation. Most important

411
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:27,800
Speaker 1: adjustment for the Buffalo offense? What do you think eight

412
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:30,239
Speaker 1: oh three five fifty toll free one eight eight eight

413
00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:33,480
Speaker 1: five fifty two five fifty sending a tweet? Would use

414
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:34,840
Speaker 1: him on the tweet sheet. We'd love to hear you

415
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 1: on the air. What do you think? We don't always

416
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 1: talk about this and tell you what we think about this, Like,

417
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:41,199
Speaker 1: what's the most important adjustment? Do you have one of these?

418
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:43,040
Speaker 1: Because I kind of I picked all three of them.

419
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:47,680
Speaker 1: I would, Yeah, I picked the thirteen percenter. Uh, get

420
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:49,159
Speaker 1: more out of the short passing game, one of them

421
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:54,360
Speaker 1: take the easier completions because I think they just they

422
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:56,760
Speaker 1: just stay on the field longer. You want them to

423
00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:59,720
Speaker 1: stay on the field, shorten the game? Uh, you don't

424
00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:01,320
Speaker 1: need I mean, I get it'd be fun to have

425
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:03,840
Speaker 1: them air it out and hit on eighty percent of

426
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:05,840
Speaker 1: their deep balls and all of that stuff, And you'd

427
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:08,160
Speaker 1: be great to have, you know, be able to handle

428
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:12,119
Speaker 1: the blitz by by hitting a short passing game. That

429
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:14,080
Speaker 1: negates a lot of pressure as well. They're gonna have

430
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:17,640
Speaker 1: to do some things schematically to take the pressure off

431
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:21,240
Speaker 1: they're not. If you hit short passes, the balls out

432
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:23,800
Speaker 1: of there usually a little quicker and the blitz doesn't

433
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:25,800
Speaker 1: have time to get home anyway. So that's one of

434
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:28,600
Speaker 1: the answers. But I think staying on the field getting

435
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:31,720
Speaker 1: first downs. There are a good red zone team because

436
00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:34,560
Speaker 1: of Josh's ability to run and the guys that are

437
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 1: small and getting to get you know, laterally quick. They

438
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:40,840
Speaker 1: stretch the field sideline to sideline really well with the

439
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:42,680
Speaker 1: speed they've got on the field, and Cole Beasley and

440
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 1: those guys are really good at working in space, as

441
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:48,560
Speaker 1: is motor Devin Singletary. So I think getting the short

442
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:53,359
Speaker 1: passes is my answer to this Twitter poll, just because

443
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:55,160
Speaker 1: you want to see them when they're on the field.

444
00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:59,680
Speaker 1: They're getting better offensively and they're staying better. Their defense

445
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:03,199
Speaker 1: is fresher there. You know, they just suck up the

446
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:06,640
Speaker 1: game away from their opponent when you've got a defense

447
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:09,199
Speaker 1: that's already difficult to score on. Plus you know, I

448
00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:12,720
Speaker 1: just think it just more opportunities to hit one or

449
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:16,400
Speaker 1: two deep balls, more opportunities to answer and make bigger plays.

450
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 1: So I think staying on the field with a short

451
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:22,320
Speaker 1: passing game is my answer to today's Twitter polling. And

452
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:24,280
Speaker 1: I get it too, though it's it's not the fun

453
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:26,480
Speaker 1: one right now. But you know what, you just convinced me.

454
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:30,080
Speaker 1: You're right. Short passing game. Yeah right, it's higher percentage.

455
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 1: You know, you can wish and hope you connect on

456
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:34,159
Speaker 1: some of those deep passes. And by the way, if

457
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:36,760
Speaker 1: they had last Sunday they win, the Ravens would have

458
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:39,159
Speaker 1: come out of that blitzing game. There's no reason for

459
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:41,920
Speaker 1: the Rasins not Ravens not the blitz the other day

460
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 1: because the Bills couldn't hit anything. But yeah, short passing

461
00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:47,160
Speaker 1: game seems like it's doable for the Bills, and maybe

462
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:49,720
Speaker 1: that's the way out of the offensive funk, the one

463
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:51,919
Speaker 1: week offensive funk the Bills are in. What do you

464
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:54,840
Speaker 1: think what's the most important adjustment for the Buffalo offense.

465
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 1: Give us a call. Let's take some calls Michael and

466
00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:58,640
Speaker 1: Buffalo on the air with this, Hello, Michael, go ahead,

467
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:00,840
Speaker 1: you're on the air. How are you doing? You guys

468
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:03,080
Speaker 1: are really answered a couple of my questions. But one

469
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:07,160
Speaker 1: is where is Duke Williams? How do they stop that blitzing?

470
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 1: And if he connected on a couple of his long passes,

471
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:13,560
Speaker 1: we got three more wins, three more wins. Go ahead?

472
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:18,400
Speaker 1: What else, Mike? Well, the two points he hasn't played

473
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:20,800
Speaker 1: since Tennessee. I mean we need it. No, yes, a

474
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:23,760
Speaker 1: fever and we don't have it. Right. She want to

475
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:26,639
Speaker 1: see more from Duke Williams. And that's you think that

476
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:28,679
Speaker 1: has solved the deep ball problems and some of the

477
00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:32,680
Speaker 1: offensive woes. Not necessarily that, but it would have solved

478
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:34,359
Speaker 1: a lot of the problems because he'd have a large

479
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:37,480
Speaker 1: target to hit. Duke played in the Dolphins game after

480
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 1: Tennessee and the Eagles game, and he's been inactive the

481
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:42,720
Speaker 1: last six games, so he has played since Tennessee. Look,

482
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:44,879
Speaker 1: there are limitations there with Duke Williams. I don't know

483
00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:47,960
Speaker 1: if he's an answer for a deep passing game. Chris Brown,

484
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:49,639
Speaker 1: I thought made a really good point yesterday on the

485
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:52,720
Speaker 1: show Steve about Duke being an answer on that on

486
00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:55,480
Speaker 1: that goal and that goal line, but the red zone

487
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:59,119
Speaker 1: passed to John Brown, the past knocked away by Marcus Peters.

488
00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:02,400
Speaker 1: Maybe a big, strong, physical receiver like Duke Williams makes

489
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:04,680
Speaker 1: that play down on the goal line. Yeah, I'd listen

490
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:08,119
Speaker 1: to that. The issue, I think, and nobody's ever expelled

491
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:11,439
Speaker 1: this out, but they don't get special teams contributions from

492
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:14,440
Speaker 1: Duke Williams. They do from Robert Foster, and I think

493
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:16,560
Speaker 1: for the receivers they have up on a week to

494
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:20,880
Speaker 1: week basis, they need somebody Robert Foster in particular, who

495
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:23,840
Speaker 1: can contribute on special teams. Foster is an important part

496
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:27,440
Speaker 1: of kick coverage and punt coverage. Yeah, you've got to contribute.

497
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:28,560
Speaker 1: If you're not going to get in there on a

498
00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:31,800
Speaker 1: significant number percentage of the snaps on offense or defense,

499
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:33,800
Speaker 1: whichever side of the ball you're on, you've got to

500
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:36,520
Speaker 1: contribute in the kicking game. And Duke hasn't done that

501
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:40,399
Speaker 1: as well as Foster or McKenzie or you know the

502
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:43,200
Speaker 1: rest of them. So but I get it. He is

503
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:45,760
Speaker 1: a different type of receiver. And I've heard people going

504
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:48,840
Speaker 1: back and forth, what's the difference between Isaiah McKenzie and

505
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:52,040
Speaker 1: Robert Foster, or what's the difference between Isaiah McKenzie and

506
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:54,399
Speaker 1: Andre Roberts. You know, they use them the same or

507
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:59,439
Speaker 1: they're the same kind of guy. Not exactly, but you know,

508
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:01,840
Speaker 1: I see your point. Duke Williams is completely different than

509
00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:06,399
Speaker 1: all of them, and people feel good about having the

510
00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:09,280
Speaker 1: defense have to think about that at least. Plus, Duke

511
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:11,200
Speaker 1: played well when he was in there. It seemed to us,

512
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:13,720
Speaker 1: you know, okay, yeah, I mean he caught a touchdown,

513
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:17,119
Speaker 1: no question, made a nice and made a nice a

514
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:20,800
Speaker 1: couple of nice plays. So I don't know why he's

515
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:23,800
Speaker 1: been inactive. Certainly it might be a philosophical thing, or

516
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 1: it might be a personnel thing. I think it's special teams.

517
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 1: Has he been look is he one of the top

518
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:33,200
Speaker 1: five receivers on the roster? I don't know. Robert Foster

519
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:35,159
Speaker 1: is an argument to make. When Foster is down here,

520
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:37,600
Speaker 1: you listen to you know this Boorn. Any of us

521
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:40,480
Speaker 1: running down covering kicks and punts, Robert Foster is doing

522
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:43,800
Speaker 1: that and doing okay at it that there's value there. Absolutely,

523
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:46,840
Speaker 1: you gotta get contributions from other than just down in

524
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:49,520
Speaker 1: distance and a lot of guys, it takes them a

525
00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:51,600
Speaker 1: long time to get their mind around that or an end.

526
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:53,359
Speaker 1: It does takes them a long time to warm up

527
00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:56,000
Speaker 1: the fact that they want to do it well, not

528
00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:58,440
Speaker 1: just going out there and going through the motions or yeah,

529
00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 1: oh gosh, I gotta cover punts this this week, you know,

530
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:04,000
Speaker 1: And there are guys like that not realizing that that's

531
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:06,280
Speaker 1: the difference between making a contribution on special teams and

532
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:08,320
Speaker 1: getting an opportunity once in a while to catch a

533
00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:11,119
Speaker 1: pass that could lead to better things. So, yeah, I

534
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:13,040
Speaker 1: agree with you, Duke Williams. Is a little bit of

535
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:16,640
Speaker 1: a puzzle to a lot of people, and most of us,

536
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:21,040
Speaker 1: me included, search for answers like that when your offense

537
00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:23,119
Speaker 1: doesn't score as many points as we think it should,

538
00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:27,919
Speaker 1: and that's going to continue until they start scoring like

539
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:30,440
Speaker 1: they did against Miami, score thirty seven points or thirty

540
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:33,000
Speaker 1: one points in a game. Yep, good call. We'll talk

541
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:34,840
Speaker 1: more about that and a lot of other issues, and

542
00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:37,200
Speaker 1: our main topic of the day. What are the Bills

543
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:39,680
Speaker 1: need offensively to get this thing going again? The most

544
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:42,400
Speaker 1: important adjustment for the Buffalo offense? What do you think

545
00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:45,560
Speaker 1: bull lines open eight three fifty toll free one eight

546
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:48,760
Speaker 1: eight eight five fifty two, five fifty sending a tweet,

547
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:50,480
Speaker 1: we'll read him on the tweet sheet. We'll put your

548
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:52,960
Speaker 1: calls on the air, and we'll discuss more about the

549
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:54,960
Speaker 1: Bills and Steelers coming up and the road ahead for

550
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:57,800
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. Gonna look back into history a little

551
00:25:57,800 --> 00:25:59,920
Speaker 1: bit with our next guest. He is the long time

Speaker 1: head coach at William and Mary College down and Williamsburg, Virginia,

00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:05,960
Speaker 1: Jimmy Laycock. I think it's thirty nine years he was

554
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:08,520
Speaker 1: head coach there, just stepped down last year. Coach Sean

555

Speaker 1: McDermott in college, coach Mike Tomlin in college, and a

556
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:13,480
Speaker 1: host of others. And we'll talk to them about those

557
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:15,760
Speaker 1: two coaches. And he's going to the game Sunday. That's

558
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:17,520
Speaker 1: pretty cool. He's going to the game on Sunday night

559
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:20,080
Speaker 1: at three at the Hines Field three Rivers. Almost So

574
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:11,480
Speaker 1: for being on the show with us today. We appreciate it. Good. Yeah,

575
00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:14,080
Speaker 1: I'm good. It's glad to be here man. Yeah. I was,

576
00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:16,200
Speaker 1: just as we were getting ready to do this interview,

577
00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:18,199
Speaker 1: I realized you and I had something in common. We

578
00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:21,600
Speaker 1: were both coached by Marv Levy. Is that true, right, Yep, yep,

579
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:24,800
Speaker 1: bad Way. He was my first first coach here at

580
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:26,320
Speaker 1: Way by Murray. I came here and I played for

581
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:28,920
Speaker 1: him for three years before he left. Yeah, Marvin has

582
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:31,280
Speaker 1: maintained good contact and I saw him this fall. He

583
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:33,160
Speaker 1: was back for a game and we got to visit.

584
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:36,280
Speaker 1: It's great. Looks great and coaching for as long as

585
00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:38,680
Speaker 1: you did at one institution, you saw all the great

586
00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:41,239
Speaker 1: players come through there and not so great. You had

587
00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:44,760
Speaker 1: great coaches on your staff. You also gave opportunities to

588
00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:50,480
Speaker 1: young coaches like Mike Quinn, like Brian Dable. Sean McDermott

589
00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:52,800
Speaker 1: was a player for you. Mike Tomlin, what was your

590
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:56,040
Speaker 1: philosophy about giving young coaches a chance? What did they

591
00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:57,879
Speaker 1: have to show to you? Because I know there's probably

592
00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:00,280
Speaker 1: a lot of coaches that wanted to get on your

593
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:02,800
Speaker 1: staff or at least having a start in the profession.

594
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:05,320
Speaker 1: What did you use to kind of vet those young

595
00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:07,399
Speaker 1: guys who wanted to be on your staff? Or what

596
00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:10,800
Speaker 1: I told him right early on that if I'm not

597
00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:12,520
Speaker 1: giving you a lot of work to do, or a

598
00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:14,199
Speaker 1: lot of extra things to do, or a lot of

599
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:16,359
Speaker 1: other things to do, then you better look around and

600
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:20,199
Speaker 1: you probably won't be here very long. Yeah, you know now.

601
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:22,720
Speaker 1: And I wanted people that had an initiative. I wanted

602
00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:25,879
Speaker 1: guys that would, you know, work the extra bit and

603
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:29,000
Speaker 1: and keep on going and keep a positive, positive attitude

604
00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:32,000
Speaker 1: and get things done, you know. Without you know, complaining

605
00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:34,760
Speaker 1: and stuff like that. And then you know, well Sean

606
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:37,159
Speaker 1: worked with me for a year after he finished playing,

607
00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:39,120
Speaker 1: and it wentn't question in my mind he was going

608
00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:41,000
Speaker 1: to be a great coach. I mean, he had, he

609
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:44,440
Speaker 1: had what it took, attention to detail and you know,

610
00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:47,640
Speaker 1: everything like that. But yeah, that was probably the biggest

611
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:48,920
Speaker 1: thing I tell him. I said, you know, hey, if

612
00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:51,080
Speaker 1: you don't, you're not getting a lot of stuff. You know,

613
00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:53,320
Speaker 1: if you think you're getting too much things, too many

614
00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:55,160
Speaker 1: extra things to do, that's a good thing. Now just

615
00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:57,600
Speaker 1: keep doing it. What kind of player was Sean McDermott

616
00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:02,040
Speaker 1: for you, coach, he was you kind of classic overachiever.

617
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:04,640
Speaker 1: Came in as a walk on kind of he was

618
00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:06,200
Speaker 1: a restaurant in high school and he kind of had

619
00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:09,200
Speaker 1: the wrestling mentality of you know, he just would go

620
00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:11,600
Speaker 1: right to the end. He'll he'd warr you down and

621
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:14,400
Speaker 1: he got the most of his ability. He was a

622
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:17,320
Speaker 1: great team player, a great leader, and and played very

623
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:21,360
Speaker 1: hard and made himself into an excellent college player. And

624
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:23,520
Speaker 1: what kind of a player was Mike Tomlin for you?

625
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:27,440
Speaker 1: Mike was Mike was a wide receiver. Shawn was a safety,

626
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:30,400
Speaker 1: but Mike was a wide receiver and uh, he was

627
00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:33,320
Speaker 1: a Mike was a good athlete. He making a lot

628
00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:35,560
Speaker 1: of big plays for us. We had a good quarterback

629
00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:37,320
Speaker 1: at that time, and he and Mike cooked up and

630
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:39,520
Speaker 1: h and did a lot of things in the passing game.

631
00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:42,000
Speaker 1: Mife was good. And I read a quote I think,

632
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:44,560
Speaker 1: or maybe somebody asked you of the two you, I

633
00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:46,239
Speaker 1: guess it was a year ago somebody asked you this,

634
00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:48,760
Speaker 1: but of those two, you did not know that Timeline

635
00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:50,920
Speaker 1: would be a head coach or be going to coaching.

636
00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:54,280
Speaker 1: You were pretty sure that Sean would be right. Correct. Well, yeah,

637
00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:57,200
Speaker 1: because Shaun stayed with me a year after he completed

638
00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:00,240
Speaker 1: his eligibility and he wanted you know, he expressed to

639
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:02,520
Speaker 1: me point blank that you know, he wanted to coach,

640
00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:05,880
Speaker 1: and I kept him on and probably in a volunteer basis.

641
00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:07,560
Speaker 1: I don't know if I gave him any money or whatever,

642
00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:10,640
Speaker 1: but he uh, he and he obviously was going to

643
00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:13,080
Speaker 1: be a coach. Now. Mike came to me when he

644
00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:15,720
Speaker 1: finished up and said, coach, I really think I want

645
00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:18,320
Speaker 1: to try coaching. And I said, are you sure? Because

646
00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:19,880
Speaker 1: he had a lot of things going and he was

647
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:22,800
Speaker 1: very out going and into a lot of different things

648
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:24,840
Speaker 1: and could have gone to law school or whatever. And

649
00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:27,360
Speaker 1: you know, I kind of didn't know if he really

650
00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:32,240
Speaker 1: understood the commitment that it took to go into coaching.

651
00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:34,800
Speaker 1: I wasn't sure if he didn't, but I said, Okay,

652
00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:36,680
Speaker 1: go and he went with a guy that used to

653
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:38,120
Speaker 1: work for me, Bill Stewart. In fact, he was the

654
00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:42,040
Speaker 1: head coach of WESTERNI, but he was at DMR and

655
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:44,920
Speaker 1: Mike went over there with him. And every time I

656
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:48,680
Speaker 1: tell the story, every time Mike was considering another job

657
00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:52,120
Speaker 1: in college, he'd always call me and asked me my opinion,

658
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:55,320
Speaker 1: just any other and first thing I'd asked her, I said, Mike,

659
00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:57,240
Speaker 1: do you still like it? Are you still enjoying it?

660
00:30:57,560 --> 00:30:59,880
Speaker 1: And he always would come back, coach, I love it, Coach,

661
00:30:59,880 --> 00:31:02,680
Speaker 1: I love it, And he just you knows. And I

662
00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:05,920
Speaker 1: knew that he'd be successful with whatever he put himself

663
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:08,480
Speaker 1: put his mind to do. It's just a matter whether

664
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:12,320
Speaker 1: he wanted coaching, and he developed into obviously a very

665
00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:15,920
Speaker 1: very good coach. Coach, Jimmy, we heard that, tell it.

666
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:18,360
Speaker 1: You might be taken or going to this Sunday night

667
00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:20,360
Speaker 1: football game in Pittsburgh with a group of guys is

668
00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:23,200
Speaker 1: that true. Well, I'm gonna go. I'm bringing my my

669
00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:25,120
Speaker 1: son and my daughter were coming up there. I haven't

670
00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:27,040
Speaker 1: had a chance to be up there and see Mike,

671
00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:30,240
Speaker 1: and he gotten on me. Now, he and Danny Smith,

672
00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:33,000
Speaker 1: a special teams guy, they got on me by making

673
00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:34,640
Speaker 1: sure I come up there and see him that once

674
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:37,160
Speaker 1: I was retired. So I figured this was a pretty

675
00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:39,640
Speaker 1: good one. Yea, since Sean was going to be in

676
00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:42,200
Speaker 1: town too, So, uh, get to see I mean, you know,

677
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:44,640
Speaker 1: I don't know how many guys get get to go

678
00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:48,120
Speaker 1: see two NFL coaches that they that they coached, So

679
00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:49,920
Speaker 1: I think I better take advantage of. Yeah, that's a

680
00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:52,480
Speaker 1: short list for sure. He played out and connecting with

681
00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:55,160
Speaker 1: them personally before the game or oh yeah, oh yeah,

682
00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:58,080
Speaker 1: I definitely will. I definitely will. Yeah. Yeah. They're both

683
00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:01,120
Speaker 1: very good about contact him me, staying in touch and

684
00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:04,320
Speaker 1: following up and you know, things like that. Coach Jimmy

685
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:06,440
Speaker 1: Lacock is our guest former head coach and Wayam and

686
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:09,920
Speaker 1: Mary Football League coach. Both Sean mcdermoan and Mike Tomlin

687
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:12,720
Speaker 1: there for the Tribe. And you mentioned Danny Smith, who

688
00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:15,440
Speaker 1: was an assistant with you back in nineteen eighty my

689
00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:18,680
Speaker 1: buddy Mark Kelso tells a story about Danny Smith recruited

690
00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:20,320
Speaker 1: him out of Pittsburgh. I don't think Mark had a

691
00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:23,040
Speaker 1: ton of recruitment offers, but Danny brought him down there

692
00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:24,720
Speaker 1: from Pittsburgh, and of course it worked out well for

693
00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:27,520
Speaker 1: both of them, right and for you Yeah, yeah, I know,

694
00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:30,200
Speaker 1: I tell you what. Yeah, Danny, he's a special guy.

695
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:32,479
Speaker 1: Of course, Mark was a great player. Mark was a

696
00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:35,120
Speaker 1: great player for us, and he's maintained contacts and obviously

697
00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:37,320
Speaker 1: he had a tremendous career. You know, we had a

698
00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:39,479
Speaker 1: good connection there with the Bills, you know, with mcmark

699
00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:42,200
Speaker 1: playing up there, and then you know Steve Christie the kicker,

700
00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:44,560
Speaker 1: was a kicker for the Bills for all those years

701
00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:46,480
Speaker 1: and all that. So I think William Murray had a

702
00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:49,320
Speaker 1: really nice connection up there, and obviously it's continued with Sean.

703
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:51,440
Speaker 1: How are you doing in retirement? Are you enjoined it?

704
00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:53,160
Speaker 1: Is it everything you hoped it would be? Or are

705
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:56,600
Speaker 1: you busier than you thought you would be? I didn't

706
00:32:56,600 --> 00:33:00,520
Speaker 1: ready to know what to expect, but if going okay,

707
00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:02,520
Speaker 1: I I'm gonna do some charity things. In fact, I'm

708
00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:05,000
Speaker 1: getting ready to meet with some people today about a deal.

709
00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:08,080
Speaker 1: And uh my golf games got a little better. That's

710
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:10,840
Speaker 1: that's probably a plus. And I've gotten uself in better shape,

711
00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:13,160
Speaker 1: so that's a plus. So I don't know, Well, it's

712
00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:16,960
Speaker 1: it's going on. I'm still learning. You're gonna have a

713
00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:19,600
Speaker 1: rooting interest in Sunday Nights game in Pittsburgh. You got

714
00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:21,280
Speaker 1: coaches on either side of the ball there. Who are

715
00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:23,680
Speaker 1: you gonna pull for? I'm a I'm gonna just pull

716
00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:26,040
Speaker 1: for a great game. And you know that's that's I

717
00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:27,640
Speaker 1: could do that. I can do that. I don't have

718
00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:29,200
Speaker 1: to pull for one team or the other. It'f we

719
00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:32,880
Speaker 1: fun if we find to see, well we coached will

720
00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:34,720
Speaker 1: even married a two hundred and forty nine wins in

721
00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:36,560
Speaker 1: your career over the course, do you either a couple

722
00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:38,600
Speaker 1: of games maybe that stand out? Are there are moments

723
00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:40,640
Speaker 1: that that stand out to you after such a long

724
00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:43,760
Speaker 1: career in one place? Oh oh jeezus, I mean there's

725
00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:45,400
Speaker 1: so many you couldn't even go I mean, you know,

726
00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:48,120
Speaker 1: you know, beating Virginia like we did a couple of

727
00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:50,760
Speaker 1: times where the big games and playoff wins that we

728
00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:54,160
Speaker 1: had and you know, playing in the National semifinals and

729
00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:55,640
Speaker 1: I don't know, there's there's a lot of them. I

730
00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:58,840
Speaker 1: couldn't even begin to talk about all that kind of stuff.

731
00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:02,040
Speaker 1: What what does this game Sunday Night say about the

732
00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:04,520
Speaker 1: program there and maybe your tenure there at William and Mary.

733
00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:07,440
Speaker 1: To have two coaches and a couple of assistant coaches

734
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:09,840
Speaker 1: as well, two coaches who've been through that program, What

735
00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:11,520
Speaker 1: do you think it says about William and Mary Football.

736
00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:13,480
Speaker 1: I think I think it tells you, number one, you

737
00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:19,560
Speaker 1: got intelligent young men and who have chosen coaching as

738
00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:22,799
Speaker 1: a profession. And they have done that because I think

739
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:27,520
Speaker 1: they've had a very positive experience at William and Mary,

740
00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:29,919
Speaker 1: and I think they learned a lot at William and Marry,

741
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:32,880
Speaker 1: and not only about XS and os and fundamentals, but

742
00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:35,840
Speaker 1: about other things that are necessary to be a good coach.

743
00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:38,319
Speaker 1: And because of the role models of other coaches that

744
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:41,680
Speaker 1: we had had here and have had here over the years.

745
00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:44,480
Speaker 1: And they've gone on and it's excained to me that

746
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:47,319
Speaker 1: they have chosen this profession and profession that I was

747
00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:50,920
Speaker 1: in because I mean, these guys would be successful whatever

748
00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:53,839
Speaker 1: they decided to do. But I think because of their

749
00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:56,880
Speaker 1: experience here with their program, because the type of program

750
00:34:56,920 --> 00:35:00,560
Speaker 1: that we were in. They chose going into football, and

751
00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:03,640
Speaker 1: it's pretty obviously, Uh, they're very successful. Yeah, if you

752
00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:07,319
Speaker 1: can give us a comprehensive what's changed about football over

753
00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:10,000
Speaker 1: the course of your coaching career? What would your point on.

754
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:11,720
Speaker 1: I mean, you haven't been out of it that Liam's

755
00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:14,200
Speaker 1: been less than a year that you've been retired. And

756
00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:18,319
Speaker 1: you started in nineteen eighty. What well, I started way

757
00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:20,480
Speaker 1: to marry in nineteen eighty. I've been coaching before that.

758
00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:23,120
Speaker 1: Actually I was at Clemson before that. Yeah, yes, what

759
00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:25,080
Speaker 1: what what's the what are the biggest changes? Is it

760
00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:26,759
Speaker 1: the you know, the fact that everybody throws it all

761
00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:29,680
Speaker 1: over the yard? Is it spread formations? Is it defenses?

762
00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:32,799
Speaker 1: Is it the complicated nature of everything now? Is it?

763
00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:35,640
Speaker 1: What is the biggest changeing thing? I think I think

764
00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:37,799
Speaker 1: the big thing has been the recruiting, you know, I

765
00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:40,200
Speaker 1: think that has really changed a lot. Has become a

766
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:44,279
Speaker 1: lot more year around, a lot more uh, national improvised

767
00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:47,960
Speaker 1: with the social media and all that, and and um

768
00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:53,120
Speaker 1: and the whole idea of the way way your practice

769
00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:56,480
Speaker 1: has changed a lot over the years, much less, a

770
00:35:56,520 --> 00:35:59,719
Speaker 1: lot lot less contact less going against each other that

771
00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:03,000
Speaker 1: kind of thing, and trying to prevent Andrews in that

772
00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:04,600
Speaker 1: kind of stuff. I think the way your practice is

773
00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:07,640
Speaker 1: really changed. Coach. It's a great story. We're glad you're

774

Speaker 1: McDermott and Tomlin will be happy to see you too.

784
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:37,480
Speaker 1: said about you know, you got two intelligent young men

785
00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:39,879
Speaker 1: there coming from a program that kind of prizes at

786
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:43,040
Speaker 1: a school certainly that prizes having you know, it's it's

787
00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:46,960
Speaker 1: a it's a serious college. You know. I was, You're

788
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:50,560
Speaker 1: gonna laugh at me. George Washington went to Willyam and

789
00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:53,600
Speaker 1: Mary Thomas Jefferson went to Willyam and Mary. Two other presidents,

790
00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:56,319
Speaker 1: Tyler and Monroe, went to William and Mary. And now

791
00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:58,640
Speaker 1: we're talking about the credit of coaches, it's a credit

792
00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:01,799
Speaker 1: of presidents to be pace to start, get started early,

793
00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:04,760
Speaker 1: right earlier than you know, not too many schools around

794
00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:06,759
Speaker 1: to choose from. It wasn't like that, like they weren't

795
00:37:06,760 --> 00:37:09,719
Speaker 1: going to go to Utah State, right, so it was there.

796
00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:15,520
Speaker 1: But still they're creating presidents. Now they're creating head coaches.

797
00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:17,759
Speaker 1: It's pretty cool, yeah, and it is. It's true as well.

798
00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:20,520
Speaker 1: I've noticed that you get around these guys and guys

799

802
00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:32,880
Speaker 1: with him. They picked coaching, but success was written all

803
00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:34,759
Speaker 1: over their future from a young age. That they have

804
00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:38,239
Speaker 1: commitment and hard work and intelligence and um and a

805

Speaker 1: dogged desire to be successful. And it shows in every profession.

806
00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:45,719

807
00:37:45,719 --> 00:37:48,400

808

828
00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:54,000
Speaker 1: started already, do Yeah? I was just I think that's

829
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:56,520
Speaker 1: a great story with coach Laycock and and you know,

830
00:38:56,840 --> 00:38:58,839
Speaker 1: we were talking. We had him on the show when

831
00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:00,960
Speaker 1: the Bills hired Sean mcder a couple of years ago,

832
00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:02,880
Speaker 1: now what two and a half almost three years ago,

833
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:05,239
Speaker 1: and I don't remember him being that engaging and that

834
00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:07,799
Speaker 1: eager to talk about it. He was okay, he was good,

835
00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:10,520
Speaker 1: but he was great today. And I'm thinking maybe it's retirement.

836
00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:12,560
Speaker 1: Maybe he's and look the fact that he's gone to

837
00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:15,640
Speaker 1: the game, I think is great. Right, And we were

838
00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:17,279
Speaker 1: just talking to the break. Is that ever happened. I'm

839
00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:20,080
Speaker 1: sure it's happened. A couple of Alabama coaches went to

840
00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:22,760
Speaker 1: the game a coach against each other, Ohio State, whatever.

841
00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:26,600
Speaker 1: But if former college teammates who were coached by the

842
00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:30,880
Speaker 1: guy coached by one guy and in having him in

843
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:33,760
Speaker 1: the stadium for the game, right and msgiev great. MSG

851
00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:55,160
Speaker 1: times during the We're gonna want to get back to

852
00:39:55,680 --> 00:39:59,839
Speaker 1: these two guys McDermott and Tomlin. Uh, their college coach

853
00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:02,160
Speaker 1: is not wrong at all. He was right on the money.

854
00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:04,840
Speaker 1: Both of them have success written all over them. And

855
00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:07,279
Speaker 1: they're both impressive guys when you sit down with them

856
00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:10,040
Speaker 1: and talk about not just football and their teams, but

857
00:40:10,120 --> 00:40:12,680
Speaker 1: also life and their philosophies and what they've been through,

858
00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:14,799
Speaker 1: what their vision is and how they handle themselves, and

859
00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:18,600
Speaker 1: that they're just really impressive guys. And it's they really

860
00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:20,799
Speaker 1: are a great advertisement for William and Mary and their

861
00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:23,759
Speaker 1: football program. They really are. Let's take a few phone

862
00:40:23,760 --> 00:40:25,600
Speaker 1: calls on our topic of the day. What's the most

863
00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:29,000
Speaker 1: important adjustment for the Buffalo offense? Yes they need adjustments,

864
00:40:29,040 --> 00:40:31,239
Speaker 1: Yes they must get better. What's the most important thing

865
00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:34,040
Speaker 1: they can do? We got you on the phone here, Denver,

866
00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:37,600
Speaker 1: calling from go on to Hello Denver. Hey, how's it

867
00:40:37,640 --> 00:40:43,040
Speaker 1: going guys? Good? Thank you? So my few adjustments and

868
00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:44,920
Speaker 1: I don't I don't want to sound like an armchair

869
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:47,520
Speaker 1: quarterback because I'm just a fan. I really haven't even

870
00:40:47,520 --> 00:40:49,759
Speaker 1: played football, so this is just what I see from

871
00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:54,000
Speaker 1: watching the games. Love the Bills. I think overall, it's

872
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:57,520
Speaker 1: just more communication on offense. It seems that we struggled

873
00:40:57,560 --> 00:41:01,160
Speaker 1: to pick up some creative blitz says. They were firing

874
00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:06,200
Speaker 1: guys from all over. Just more communication overall. I think

875
00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:10,000
Speaker 1: Josh is still young, he's learning. I think the defense

876
00:41:10,120 --> 00:41:13,200
Speaker 1: through everything they could possibly throw at him at the offense,

877
00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:16,919
Speaker 1: and they just just didn't communicate effectively enough to that. Yeah,

878
00:41:16,920 --> 00:41:19,680
Speaker 1: it's a good point, Denver. I will say this. We

879
00:41:19,680 --> 00:41:22,200
Speaker 1: were talking before about our show topic this morning, Steve

880
00:41:22,239 --> 00:41:26,359
Speaker 1: and I and our producer Jay Harrison. I don't know

881
00:41:26,360 --> 00:41:28,480
Speaker 1: what more the offensive line could have done with the

882
00:41:28,520 --> 00:41:30,239
Speaker 1: blitz is being thrown at. I mean they were playing

883
00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:34,840
Speaker 1: zero coverage. Dabl said it, yesterday's sixteen snaps of zero coverage,

884
00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:38,600
Speaker 1: no safeties back there. So that means you got essentially

885
00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:41,800
Speaker 1: six seven pass rushers coming. What's an offensive line's supposed

886
00:41:41,840 --> 00:41:43,520
Speaker 1: to do with what it means is it whoever you

887
00:41:43,560 --> 00:41:47,319
Speaker 1: don't send out into the pattern is protecting and they've

888
00:41:47,320 --> 00:41:50,560
Speaker 1: got rushers and the guy that's usually like the quarterback

889
00:41:50,560 --> 00:41:53,400
Speaker 1: of the defense. The quarterback can't protect himself. He's got it,

890
00:41:53,400 --> 00:41:54,960
Speaker 1: he's throwing the ball, he's holding the ball, so he's

891
00:41:54,960 --> 00:41:58,400
Speaker 1: not blocking anybody. So the defense without a free safety

892
00:41:59,560 --> 00:42:03,600
Speaker 1: has a y that's nobody's blocking. And that's the numbers.

893
00:42:03,600 --> 00:42:05,720
Speaker 1: They can always send one more than you can protect

894
00:42:05,719 --> 00:42:08,280
Speaker 1: because you got a guy holding the ball who can't block.

895
00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:10,640
Speaker 1: So to Denver's point, it's not really blitz pick up,

896
00:42:10,719 --> 00:42:12,640
Speaker 1: it's get rid of the ball, get the ball out

897
00:42:12,760 --> 00:42:14,799
Speaker 1: short orlan get the ball out right. You're not gonna

898
00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:16,640
Speaker 1: be able to block everybody well. Plus, even if you

899
00:42:16,680 --> 00:42:18,200
Speaker 1: do have enough guys to block, and like you say,

900
00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:21,279
Speaker 1: sixteen snaps, that means like fifty snaps. They did have

901
00:42:21,400 --> 00:42:23,359
Speaker 1: enough guys to cover. They did a pretty good job

902
00:42:23,360 --> 00:42:25,000
Speaker 1: of that for the most part. But what you have

903
00:42:25,080 --> 00:42:27,719
Speaker 1: to now, certainly there's all kinds of exception to that.

904
00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:30,440
Speaker 1: You had guys that lose one on one blocks, you

905
00:42:30,520 --> 00:42:34,360
Speaker 1: had guys get beat physically. But what Denver the caller's

906
00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:38,200
Speaker 1: talking about is if you got five guys protecting or

907
00:42:38,239 --> 00:42:42,000
Speaker 1: six guys protecting, and there's five guys or six guys rushing,

908
00:42:42,280 --> 00:42:44,359
Speaker 1: if you've got enough blockers. You've got to make sure

909
00:42:44,440 --> 00:42:47,000
Speaker 1: everybody has one guy. You're not doubling one guy and

910
00:42:47,080 --> 00:42:49,920
Speaker 1: leaving one guy free. That's communication, and that's what the

911
00:42:49,960 --> 00:42:52,200
Speaker 1: caller was talking about, and that's what you hear so

912
00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:55,680
Speaker 1: much about as catchphrase for we got to communicate better,

913
00:42:55,680 --> 00:42:57,400
Speaker 1: and that you hear a lot in the preseason, you

914
00:42:57,440 --> 00:42:59,720
Speaker 1: hear a lot in the early part of the regular

915
00:42:59,719 --> 00:43:01,360
Speaker 1: season and where teams are kind of getting to know

916
00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:03,680
Speaker 1: each other in the verbiage and stuff like that. Players

917
00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:06,840
Speaker 1: offensive linemen are starting to gel and mesh. Communication is

918
00:43:06,920 --> 00:43:09,440
Speaker 1: key because you got to sort through those guys and

919
00:43:09,520 --> 00:43:12,000
Speaker 1: if a guy acts like he's coming in drops out,

920
00:43:12,600 --> 00:43:15,440
Speaker 1: that guy who's left vacant has to know what to

921
00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:19,239
Speaker 1: do in case a different guy comes. So is communication

922
00:43:19,360 --> 00:43:22,960
Speaker 1: is vital to be good in pass protection, just so

923
00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:24,319
Speaker 1: you can get it sorted out and get a hat

924
00:43:24,360 --> 00:43:28,120
Speaker 1: on a hat. Maybe there were some issues with that

925
00:43:28,360 --> 00:43:31,000
Speaker 1: during the game, but I think more on those sixteen

926
00:43:31,040 --> 00:43:33,239
Speaker 1: snaps we're talking about, it was strictly a numbers game

927
00:43:33,360 --> 00:43:36,360
Speaker 1: and somebody's got to win right now, and Josh has

928
00:43:36,360 --> 00:43:38,800
Speaker 1: got to get rid of the ball right now, and

929
00:43:39,040 --> 00:43:42,120
Speaker 1: that didn't happen. Enough. Nope, there's a call from Joe

930
00:43:42,200 --> 00:43:44,759
Speaker 1: in Rochester talking about the most important adjustment for the

931
00:43:44,760 --> 00:43:50,879
Speaker 1: Buffalo offense. Joe, what do you see? What do you think? Hey, guys, Well,

932
00:43:50,920 --> 00:43:52,839
Speaker 1: I don't know if this is off topic, but it's

933
00:43:52,880 --> 00:43:55,960
Speaker 1: more for like the whole team is I think the

934
00:43:56,040 --> 00:44:01,040
Speaker 1: coach has to get better at game day management. Wait, Joe,

935
00:44:03,040 --> 00:44:05,399
Speaker 1: especially with like it seems like they don't have any

936
00:44:05,480 --> 00:44:08,360
Speaker 1: kind of system in place for challenges like him not

937
00:44:08,520 --> 00:44:11,960
Speaker 1: challenging that pass interference in that in the end of

938
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:15,719
Speaker 1: the third quarter was like kind of inexcusable. I disagree

939
00:44:16,520 --> 00:44:20,400
Speaker 1: because I had finished your point because, okay, think of

940
00:44:20,440 --> 00:44:23,080
Speaker 1: the New England game where he challenges he just chant,

941
00:44:23,120 --> 00:44:25,520
Speaker 1: makes his challenges on emotion and if a big plays

942
00:44:25,520 --> 00:44:28,479
Speaker 1: given up, like he challenged that up past the pass

943
00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:30,480
Speaker 1: interference on a pick play even though no one made

944
00:44:30,560 --> 00:44:32,919
Speaker 1: contact with the player, the guy got out of the way.

945
00:44:33,080 --> 00:44:35,920
Speaker 1: He challenges things that have no chance. But then that

946
00:44:36,120 --> 00:44:38,279
Speaker 1: had a very good chance because they've been overturning more

947
00:44:38,280 --> 00:44:41,120
Speaker 1: of those calls lately. They had thirteen percent. It's just

948
00:44:41,200 --> 00:44:44,800
Speaker 1: the opposite, thirteen percent of those defensive pass interference no

949
00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:48,360
Speaker 1: calls get changed. Not a high percentage, and it was

950
00:44:48,480 --> 00:44:50,600
Speaker 1: nine percent a couple of weeks ago, anounce up to thirteen.

951
00:44:50,640 --> 00:44:53,480
Speaker 1: But that was a close call. I look, he was

952
00:44:53,560 --> 00:44:56,000
Speaker 1: he had the flag, the challenge flank in his hand.

953
00:44:56,520 --> 00:44:58,719
Speaker 1: They had the entire break after the third quarter to

954
00:44:58,800 --> 00:45:02,360
Speaker 1: discuss um. I don't know if it's worth the challenge.

955
00:45:02,360 --> 00:45:04,440
Speaker 1: And there you know there's a cost to a challenge, right,

956
00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:07,239
Speaker 1: you lose the time out, you lose the challenge. Go ahead, Joe,

957
00:45:07,320 --> 00:45:09,879
Speaker 1: you're still going, go guy. Yeah, this is the other point.

958
00:45:09,880 --> 00:45:11,960
Speaker 1: If he doesn't know how to he has no idea

959
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:15,120
Speaker 1: how to use timeouts anyway, or oh no, go and

960
00:45:15,239 --> 00:45:18,000
Speaker 1: listen to Okay, calm down now, go ahead, take a

961
00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:20,839
Speaker 1: deep breath like anything I have to say. So let

962
00:45:20,840 --> 00:45:22,520
Speaker 1: me make this last point so you can hang up

963
00:45:22,560 --> 00:45:26,200
Speaker 1: on me. I'll tell you. Let him go. Let him

964
00:45:26,239 --> 00:45:29,920
Speaker 1: go Go ahead, Joe and okay. And at the end

965
00:45:29,960 --> 00:45:33,919
Speaker 1: where we scored the touchdown to get us within uh

966
00:45:33,200 --> 00:45:38,400
Speaker 1: uh eight points, him going for two. There was a mistake.

967
00:45:38,480 --> 00:45:40,160
Speaker 1: I know, we said, and you're saying, oh it was.

968
00:45:40,320 --> 00:45:42,200
Speaker 1: It was not a mistake. We got it. That was

969
00:45:42,239 --> 00:45:44,360
Speaker 1: the wrong time. You had to kick the point and

970
00:45:44,440 --> 00:45:46,160
Speaker 1: keep us in the game longer because if you don't

971
00:45:46,160 --> 00:45:48,879
Speaker 1: get it there, it's two possessions and we're done. Can

972
00:45:48,920 --> 00:45:50,960
Speaker 1: I talk for a second, Joe on your show, I

973
00:45:50,960 --> 00:45:53,560
Speaker 1: would say, there's a difference of opinion on that. There are,

974
00:45:54,200 --> 00:45:56,480
Speaker 1: and I get it. I know exactly what you're saying.

975
00:45:56,560 --> 00:45:58,680
Speaker 1: I thought that during the game, other people will tell you, no,

976
00:45:59,040 --> 00:46:01,239
Speaker 1: take the two points there or go for the two

977
00:46:01,320 --> 00:46:03,440
Speaker 1: points there, and then you've got seven minutes of your

978
00:46:03,480 --> 00:46:05,640
Speaker 1: options still wide open. But I see your point there.

979
00:46:06,440 --> 00:46:08,799
Speaker 1: You would say, for the two points there? What's that?

980
00:46:08,840 --> 00:46:12,800
Speaker 1: What's that? Guy? What's that? Joe? I'm sure nobody. I

981
00:46:12,840 --> 00:46:14,920
Speaker 1: haven't heard one person that thinks that was the right

982
00:46:15,280 --> 00:46:17,200
Speaker 1: I can Joe, you're living in Joe, You're living in

983
00:46:17,200 --> 00:46:21,120
Speaker 1: a cave. That is there. You're getting as much people

984
00:46:21,239 --> 00:46:24,320
Speaker 1: jumping up and down, waving the flag, saying they finally

985
00:46:24,360 --> 00:46:26,960
Speaker 1: get analytics, they're finally doing it the right way. I mean,

986
00:46:26,960 --> 00:46:30,000
Speaker 1: it's been yeah, been listening, but I get it. Go ahead,

987
00:46:30,280 --> 00:46:32,040
Speaker 1: go ahead, Joe, it's you still at the floor. I'm

988
00:46:32,040 --> 00:46:33,799
Speaker 1: not gonna hang up on you. I'm gonna wait till

989
00:46:33,800 --> 00:46:41,279
Speaker 1: you've exhausted. Hello. No, Koe hung up on me, Joe

990
00:46:41,360 --> 00:46:46,080
Speaker 1: hung up on me. We can't disagree Joe. Look, I

991
00:46:46,120 --> 00:46:48,239
Speaker 1: get his points, and those points were made a lot

992
00:46:48,320 --> 00:46:51,320
Speaker 1: yesterday about the two point conversion, about the no challenge flag.

993
00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:54,000
Speaker 1: I see both sides of both issues, and I understand.

994
00:46:54,040 --> 00:46:56,799
Speaker 1: And Sean talked about him Sunday and again yesterday why

995
00:46:56,800 --> 00:46:58,239
Speaker 1: he did what he did. You can take the other

996
00:46:58,239 --> 00:46:59,560
Speaker 1: side of the art. Yeah, I don't care. I did't

997
00:46:59,600 --> 00:47:01,440
Speaker 1: hung up by Joe. Joe hung up on me, Steve.

998
00:47:01,480 --> 00:47:06,600
Speaker 1: I'm offended. It's amazing, but yeah, yeah, the frustrating part

999
00:47:06,600 --> 00:47:08,800
Speaker 1: of it is, I mean, Joe, I don't know, I

1000
00:47:08,800 --> 00:47:10,560
Speaker 1: don't know what city's living in, but I'm telling you what.

1001
00:47:11,080 --> 00:47:13,640
Speaker 1: That day of the game and all day yesterday, it

1002
00:47:13,719 --> 00:47:17,360
Speaker 1: was nothing but one or the other about going for

1003
00:47:17,400 --> 00:47:19,400
Speaker 1: the he was coach was questioned about it at the

1004
00:47:19,480 --> 00:47:22,080
Speaker 1: end at his press conference yesterday, and he gave a

1005
00:47:22,120 --> 00:47:24,759
Speaker 1: pretty valid defense. He says, Listen, we knew we wanted

1006
00:47:24,800 --> 00:47:26,920
Speaker 1: to go for it. We knew the look we were

1007
00:47:26,920 --> 00:47:28,919
Speaker 1: gonna get. We had a good idea for the look

1008
00:47:28,960 --> 00:47:33,680
Speaker 1: we were gonna get, and we got it. The analytics

1009
00:47:33,680 --> 00:47:36,239
Speaker 1: people said go ye, and so we did. So I

1010
00:47:36,800 --> 00:47:39,759
Speaker 1: don't know, the analytics people say go for it there

1011
00:47:39,880 --> 00:47:42,600
Speaker 1: and give yourself seven minutes. If you make or miss

1012
00:47:42,680 --> 00:47:45,160
Speaker 1: the two point conversion, seven minutes to make up for it.

1013
00:47:45,200 --> 00:47:47,719
Speaker 1: If you wait until your last second touchdown and then

1014
00:47:47,760 --> 00:47:50,080
Speaker 1: you go for two, then it's game over. And I

1015
00:47:50,120 --> 00:47:52,000
Speaker 1: get it. I get both sides of the argument, Joe.

1016
00:47:52,080 --> 00:47:53,880
Speaker 1: And here's the thing. I get both sides of the argument.

1017
00:47:54,080 --> 00:47:57,440
Speaker 1: Was seven minutes left? Here's the issue gets too. Was

1018
00:47:57,520 --> 00:48:00,600
Speaker 1: seven or whatever minutes it was left? It was seven?

1019
00:48:00,880 --> 00:48:06,360
Speaker 1: It was yeah, okay, how many possessions are you gonna

1020
00:48:06,400 --> 00:48:09,200
Speaker 1: get the rest of the way. Now, you gotta figure

1021
00:48:09,840 --> 00:48:12,880
Speaker 1: Baltimore will go into at some point they're four minute offense.

1022
00:48:13,120 --> 00:48:15,200
Speaker 1: How many times your offense is going to get the

1023
00:48:15,320 --> 00:48:18,200
Speaker 1: chance to see the football again? That's a big question.

1024
00:48:19,280 --> 00:48:22,160
Speaker 1: And going for two there, And Joe, you can say

1025
00:48:22,200 --> 00:48:25,520
Speaker 1: it all you want. I'm with you. What are your

1026
00:48:25,600 --> 00:48:28,480
Speaker 1: old school because it's a it's a coin for everybody's

1027
00:48:28,640 --> 00:48:31,839
Speaker 1: We got this huge argument and you could argue that, yeah, yeah,

1028
00:48:31,920 --> 00:48:33,839
Speaker 1: not with him, but it's an argument to be made.

1029
00:48:34,080 --> 00:48:37,840
Speaker 1: The argument is there, and that's fine. But you know,

1030
00:48:37,960 --> 00:48:42,200
Speaker 1: I just have a hard time criticizing the the guys

1031
00:48:42,200 --> 00:48:44,719
Speaker 1: who were heavily actually have their their head on the

1032
00:48:44,800 --> 00:48:48,279
Speaker 1: chopping block, making those decisions going doing doing it, and

1033
00:48:48,440 --> 00:48:50,960
Speaker 1: the guys who crunch the numbers and hire people a

1034
00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:54,160
Speaker 1: sports science department, analytics people who crunch the numbers to

1035
00:48:54,239 --> 00:48:57,880
Speaker 1: say this is you know, it's about percentage of victory, right,

1036
00:48:58,080 --> 00:48:59,879
Speaker 1: we do this here, We got this percentage of when

1037
00:48:59,920 --> 00:49:01,680
Speaker 1: we do that, we do the other thing, we got

1038
00:49:01,680 --> 00:49:04,919
Speaker 1: this percentage. Those are not they're not throwing darts. They're

1039
00:49:04,920 --> 00:49:08,520
Speaker 1: making calculations, pretty significant calculations there. I can't remember. It's

1040
00:49:08,520 --> 00:49:10,120
Speaker 1: okay to disagree, you know, I can't remember what He

1041
00:49:10,440 --> 00:49:12,720
Speaker 1: started it out with, a game management and the challenge.

1042
00:49:12,800 --> 00:49:14,719
Speaker 1: Listen the challenge on the third quarter, last play of

1043
00:49:14,760 --> 00:49:16,919
Speaker 1: the third quarter or late in the third quarter. I'll

1044
00:49:16,960 --> 00:49:19,040
Speaker 1: say it one more time, Joe, you think it was

1045
00:49:19,280 --> 00:49:22,560
Speaker 1: foolish not to do it. I think if you challenge

1046
00:49:22,640 --> 00:49:25,000
Speaker 1: that pass interference at the end of the third quarter

1047
00:49:25,120 --> 00:49:28,239
Speaker 1: on the high ball to Robert Foster, you may as

1048
00:49:28,239 --> 00:49:30,880
Speaker 1: well flush your challenge flag down the tube. You have

1049
00:49:31,840 --> 00:49:35,320
Speaker 1: not thirteen percent chance, you got a zero percent chance

1050
00:49:35,520 --> 00:49:39,040
Speaker 1: of winning that challenge. If you think Al Riveron in

1051
00:49:39,080 --> 00:49:43,360
Speaker 1: New York is gonna reverse that call or call that

1052
00:49:43,480 --> 00:49:47,320
Speaker 1: pass interference. After the season that we've been through as fans,

1053
00:49:47,560 --> 00:49:51,759
Speaker 1: and commentators and football players and coaches watching plays all

1054
00:49:51,760 --> 00:49:54,240
Speaker 1: through the league. And you think they're going to reverse

1055
00:49:54,320 --> 00:50:00,200
Speaker 1: that into pass interference, you are drunk. You are drunk,

1056
00:50:00,680 --> 00:50:04,680
Speaker 1: because there is no way on this planet, in this

1057
00:50:04,760 --> 00:50:07,920
Speaker 1: reality we live in, that they're gonna put pass interference

1058
00:50:07,960 --> 00:50:10,719
Speaker 1: out of nowhere on a challenge flag on that play.

1059
00:50:10,760 --> 00:50:12,880
Speaker 1: And let's put the fault where it belongs with the

1060
00:50:12,880 --> 00:50:15,279
Speaker 1: official on the field who did not call pats interference.

1061
00:50:15,560 --> 00:50:18,040
Speaker 1: That's where it starts, not with Sean mcdermot's used to

1062
00:50:18,120 --> 00:50:20,480
Speaker 1: the challenge or whatever river On and his crew might

1063
00:50:20,480 --> 00:50:22,600
Speaker 1: have done. It's make the call on the field, and

1064
00:50:22,680 --> 00:50:24,839
Speaker 1: it was. It did look like passing interference on the field.

1065
00:50:25,160 --> 00:50:27,960
Speaker 1: Technically speaking, there's no doubt. Yeah, yeah, And I'll say that.

1066
00:50:28,360 --> 00:50:30,680
Speaker 1: And you can say, well, if there's no doubt, come on,

1067
00:50:30,760 --> 00:50:34,000
Speaker 1: you haven't been watching there. And I said yesterday the

1068
00:50:34,080 --> 00:50:37,040
Speaker 1: guy in New York is less apt to get it

1069
00:50:37,120 --> 00:50:39,080
Speaker 1: right than the guy who pretended he didn't see it.

1070
00:50:41,000 --> 00:50:43,040
Speaker 1: Anytime there's an opportunity to take a shout at Dale

1071
00:50:43,160 --> 00:50:46,719
Speaker 1: river On, mister tasker, I'm still mad Adham for that.

1072
00:50:47,520 --> 00:50:50,120
Speaker 1: Calvin Benjamin touched down in New England two years ago.

1073
00:50:51,280 --> 00:50:53,200
Speaker 1: We got a breakcare. We're coming back. We're coming back

1081
00:51:23,239 --> 00:51:25,920
Speaker 1: not played on Sunday Night football since two thousand and

1082
00:51:25,960 --> 00:51:28,520

Speaker 1: Fifty six ten final Bills with twenty Sunday night games

1084
00:51:32,520 --> 00:51:35,719
Speaker 1: in franchise history. They've won ten and lost ten. Steelers

1085
00:51:35,760 --> 00:51:37,759
Speaker 1: coming off a three game win streak. Now they've eat

1086
00:51:37,800 --> 00:51:40,160
Speaker 1: the Cardinals twenty three seventeen. They got them. They were

1087
00:51:40,160 --> 00:51:42,920
Speaker 1: without a couple of big offensive threats, Juju Smith, Schuster

1088
00:51:42,960 --> 00:51:46,120
Speaker 1: and James Connor. They got a big game from Deonte Johnson.

1089
00:51:46,440 --> 00:51:48,800
Speaker 1: He had a first quarter eighty five yard punt return,

1090
00:51:49,320 --> 00:51:51,680
Speaker 1: wound up with six catches sixty yards and two scores.

1091
00:51:51,680 --> 00:51:56,760
Speaker 1: Getting contributions from players down the line, with both the Juju, Smith, Schuster,

1092
00:51:56,880 --> 00:52:00,640
Speaker 1: and Connor expected to perhaps play this Sunday against the Bills.

1093
00:52:00,880 --> 00:52:03,760
Speaker 1: Ravens quarterback Lamar and Jackson limited in their practice yesterday

1094
00:52:03,760 --> 00:52:06,399
Speaker 1: with a quad injury. R John Harbaugh says hurt during

1095
00:52:06,400 --> 00:52:08,360
Speaker 1: the game when the Bills defender in him around the knee.

1096
00:52:08,840 --> 00:52:10,719
Speaker 1: The Ravens have a quick turnaround. They got a game

1097
00:52:10,760 --> 00:52:13,879
Speaker 1: Thursday night against the Jets. The Ravens at eleven and two,

1098
00:52:13,920 --> 00:52:17,200
Speaker 1: can clinch their second straight AFC North title with the victory.

1099
00:52:17,239 --> 00:52:20,560
Speaker 1: Patriots coach Bill Battlechick has denied any involvement with the

1100
00:52:20,640 --> 00:52:23,799
Speaker 1: videographer who was caught taping the Bengal sideline during their

1101
00:52:23,800 --> 00:52:26,319
Speaker 1: game against Cleveland on Sunday. Of course, this all goes

1102
00:52:26,320 --> 00:52:29,040
Speaker 1: back to Spygate as well, when Battlechick and the Patriots

1103
00:52:29,080 --> 00:52:31,960
Speaker 1: were fine a first round doctor, first round pick, and

1104
00:52:32,080 --> 00:52:36,080
Speaker 1: fine after a team employee was caught shooting unauthorized video.

1105
00:52:36,160 --> 00:52:39,160
Speaker 1: Then Josh McCown almost got reps as a wide receiver

1106
00:52:39,320 --> 00:52:42,560
Speaker 1: last night in the Philadelphia eagles twenty three to seventeen

1107
00:52:42,600 --> 00:52:45,400
Speaker 1: comeback win over the Giants. They were down receivers Nelson

1108
00:52:45,400 --> 00:52:47,960
Speaker 1: agil Are unable to play. They had just three active receivers,

1109
00:52:48,200 --> 00:52:50,680
Speaker 1: and head coach Doug Peterson confirmed that the forty year

1110
00:52:50,680 --> 00:52:53,719
Speaker 1: old McCown was as an option in there as an

1111
00:52:53,719 --> 00:52:57,120
Speaker 1: option to perhaps play receiver savers game night tonight, they

1112
00:52:57,120 --> 00:52:59,360
Speaker 1: played the Saint Louis Blues face off seven thirty at

1113
00:52:59,400 --> 00:53:02,400
Speaker 1: Key Banchoring. Jack Eichel named the NHL's third Star of

1114
00:53:02,400 --> 00:53:04,600
Speaker 1: the Week for his four game performance last week, and

1115
00:53:04,680 --> 00:53:07,600
Speaker 1: the NHL Dallas Stars fired head coach Jim Montgomery today

1116
00:53:07,800 --> 00:53:10,719
Speaker 1: due to what they call unprofessional conduct. The team did

1117
00:53:10,719 --> 00:53:14,239
Speaker 1: not elaborate. That's the update from one Bill's Drive from

1118
00:53:14,280 --> 00:53:17,280
Speaker 1: our Seneca studio in Orchard Park. John Murphy, Steve Tasker.

1119
00:53:17,320 --> 00:53:19,920
Speaker 1: We are coming off the loss to the Ravens on Sunday,

1120
00:53:20,160 --> 00:53:22,839
Speaker 1: getting set for the game Sunday night in Pittsburgh, and

1121
00:53:23,000 --> 00:53:25,360
Speaker 1: a lot of reactions still got that loss on Sunday,

1122
00:53:25,400 --> 00:53:28,440
Speaker 1: including from our next guest. Our next guest, Kyle brant

1123
00:53:28,440 --> 00:53:31,040
Speaker 1: The hosted Good Morning Football on NFL Network weekdays at

1124
00:53:31,040 --> 00:53:33,920
Speaker 1: seven am. And here's what he said yesterday, his advice,

1125
00:53:34,280 --> 00:53:39,239
Speaker 1: his directive for Buffalo Bills fan's Kyle Brandt yesterday, let

1126
00:53:39,280 --> 00:53:40,960
Speaker 1: me speak to Buffalo for a second. All right, so

1127
00:53:41,000 --> 00:53:43,520
Speaker 1: you beat the Cowboys on Thanksgaving. It is Buffalo, Christmas

1128
00:53:43,520 --> 00:53:45,759
Speaker 1: and everything. I remember my thoughts. The next day, We're like, Okay,

1129
00:53:45,800 --> 00:53:47,480
Speaker 1: just come ready to work next week because this really

1130
00:53:47,520 --> 00:53:50,520
Speaker 1: amounts to nothing. There's no shame in losing to Baltimore,

1131
00:53:50,560 --> 00:53:52,400
Speaker 1: but there is a shame. And I'm picking up the

1132
00:53:52,440 --> 00:53:55,879
Speaker 1: pathetic stench of moral victory coming off Buffalo. I don't

1133
00:53:55,920 --> 00:53:58,160
Speaker 1: want it. I twooted something yesterday about the game, and

1134
00:53:58,200 --> 00:54:00,960
Speaker 1: the bill stands come flying in with this type of

1135
00:54:01,000 --> 00:54:03,440
Speaker 1: stuff about what happened. Give it to me. Oh, Ravens

1136
00:54:03,480 --> 00:54:05,760
Speaker 1: had less points per game than their abjections and steamroll.

1137
00:54:05,840 --> 00:54:08,600
Speaker 1: I think that's admirable considering who they've killed this year.

1138
00:54:08,760 --> 00:54:11,000
Speaker 1: Thank you Jessica for the contribution. Who else did we have?

1139
00:54:11,520 --> 00:54:13,400
Speaker 1: Bills flowed them down? So don lamar one hundred and

1140
00:54:13,440 --> 00:54:16,279
Speaker 1: forty nine that you're quoting me stats. Guys, what team

1141
00:54:16,280 --> 00:54:17,440
Speaker 1: do you want to be this year? Do you want

1142
00:54:17,440 --> 00:54:18,720
Speaker 1: to be a one and done team in the the playoffs?

1143
00:54:18,719 --> 00:54:20,840
Speaker 1: Because that's fine, it's a moral victory. I see a

1144
00:54:20,840 --> 00:54:22,480
Speaker 1: team that had ten days to get ready for this

1145
00:54:22,480 --> 00:54:24,680
Speaker 1: game and then scored one touchdown on offense. I have

1146
00:54:24,800 --> 00:54:27,319
Speaker 1: big expectations for Buffalo this year. I want to go

1147
00:54:27,360 --> 00:54:28,840
Speaker 1: to a title game. I want to at least go

1148
00:54:28,880 --> 00:54:31,320
Speaker 1: to a divisional round. So don't think for one second

1149
00:54:31,440 --> 00:54:33,759
Speaker 1: that that was a good day for Buffalo. You're at home,

1150
00:54:33,880 --> 00:54:35,719
Speaker 1: You're lost, you were not involved in the games on

1151
00:54:35,800 --> 00:54:37,320
Speaker 1: the very end of it. Don't quote me stats. I

1152
00:54:37,320 --> 00:54:39,480
Speaker 1: don't care for Lamar had two yards rushing. You're lost

1153
00:54:39,560 --> 00:54:41,600
Speaker 1: at home. I have bigger things in mind for you.

1154
00:54:41,600 --> 00:54:45,479
Speaker 1: You should. Kyle Brand going off yesterday, Kyle Grand joins

1155
00:54:45,560 --> 00:54:47,799
Speaker 1: us live right now on the show. He joins us

1156
00:54:47,800 --> 00:54:50,200
Speaker 1: every tuesdays at this time. Kyle, You're right. There is

1157
00:54:50,239 --> 00:54:52,520
Speaker 1: a pathetic stench that goes along with a moral victory,

1158
00:54:52,560 --> 00:54:55,200
Speaker 1: isn't it. I've smelled it, and I hate it. I

1159
00:54:55,200 --> 00:54:58,439
Speaker 1: don't want to smell that, I guys. Maybe it's because

1160
00:54:58,480 --> 00:55:00,200
Speaker 1: I talked to you guys each week, but I have

1161
00:55:00,320 --> 00:55:03,759
Speaker 1: developed an affection for the twenty nine Buffalo Bills and

1162
00:55:04,000 --> 00:55:06,880
Speaker 1: their fan base as well, and I smelled it the

1163
00:55:06,960 --> 00:55:10,280
Speaker 1: second that game was over. You could what are people

1164
00:55:10,360 --> 00:55:13,640
Speaker 1: saying that that was a good day for the Bills? That? Well, gee,

1165
00:55:13,960 --> 00:55:16,200
Speaker 1: Lamar didn't run all over us, and only a couple

1166
00:55:16,280 --> 00:55:18,839
Speaker 1: of our players got immortalized in gift for them. So

1167
00:55:18,920 --> 00:55:21,120
Speaker 1: maybe we survived it, and maybe the Bills are No,

1168
00:55:21,560 --> 00:55:24,560
Speaker 1: that was a bad day. You lost at home to

1169
00:55:24,640 --> 00:55:27,399
Speaker 1: a team that really matters. And we've talked this all year,

1170
00:55:27,840 --> 00:55:31,200
Speaker 1: big boy games, adults, table games. I don't want to

1171
00:55:31,200 --> 00:55:33,879
Speaker 1: hear that they held tough against against Baltimore. I don't

1172
00:55:33,880 --> 00:55:35,760
Speaker 1: want to hear it they held tough against the eighty

1173
00:55:35,760 --> 00:55:38,560
Speaker 1: five Bears, the ninety one Bills, whoever it is. They

1174
00:55:38,560 --> 00:55:41,000
Speaker 1: should win that game, and if they don't, it should

1175
00:55:41,040 --> 00:55:44,360
Speaker 1: be a big setback, because again it's a question of goals.

1176
00:55:44,400 --> 00:55:47,000
Speaker 1: It's not the goal to get to the playoffs, goals

1177
00:55:47,040 --> 00:55:49,919
Speaker 1: to win playoff games, and they lost the playoff team

1178
00:55:49,960 --> 00:55:51,279
Speaker 1: this year. So I'm not having it. I don't like

1179
00:55:51,360 --> 00:55:52,880
Speaker 1: that smell, and I don't want to smell it again.

1180
00:55:53,960 --> 00:55:55,680
Speaker 1: All Right, I get that call, and I agree with you,

1181
00:55:55,719 --> 00:55:57,680
Speaker 1: but let me tell you just my reaction. I wat

1182
00:55:57,680 --> 00:56:00,399
Speaker 1: Stephen on this too. But games over Sunday come out

1183
00:56:00,400 --> 00:56:02,200
Speaker 1: of a broadcast food called to play by play, and

1184
00:56:02,200 --> 00:56:04,080
Speaker 1: I thought, man, what a great game. That was just

1185
00:56:04,600 --> 00:56:07,640
Speaker 1: a really good competitive game. I was upbeat about not

1186
00:56:07,680 --> 00:56:09,239
Speaker 1: the fact that the Bills almost won, but then there

1187
00:56:09,280 --> 00:56:11,160
Speaker 1: was such a good game. Then I woke up yesterday,

1188
00:56:11,200 --> 00:56:13,520
Speaker 1: I thought, Man, the Bills lost that game, and I

1189
00:56:13,560 --> 00:56:15,800
Speaker 1: didn't like the moral victory aspect of it. Is it

1190
00:56:15,880 --> 00:56:19,719
Speaker 1: okay to acknowledge it was a pretty good game to watch, Murk,

1191
00:56:19,800 --> 00:56:25,359
Speaker 1: that's called that's called a hangover. The next time you're right, hey, Mark,

1192
00:56:25,920 --> 00:56:27,560
Speaker 1: I don't want to hear that stench coming off you

1193
00:56:27,600 --> 00:56:31,319
Speaker 1: too football than you far be it for me to

1194
00:56:31,400 --> 00:56:33,160
Speaker 1: tell you how to feel. I will just say this

1195
00:56:33,760 --> 00:56:36,440
Speaker 1: it just because it was a close game doesn't mean

1196
00:56:36,480 --> 00:56:38,879
Speaker 1: it was a good game. Yes, it was competitive. Sure

1197
00:56:39,000 --> 00:56:41,160
Speaker 1: the score was close, but I don't think it was

1198
00:56:41,160 --> 00:56:44,640
Speaker 1: a very good game, especially on offensive. The Buffalo Baltimore's

1199
00:56:44,640 --> 00:56:46,879
Speaker 1: defense has been good. They've done some good things. I've

1200
00:56:46,920 --> 00:56:48,960
Speaker 1: also seen him get torched a few times. So the

1201
00:56:49,000 --> 00:56:52,320
Speaker 1: fact that it was waiting for this cold Beasley touchdown

1202
00:56:52,360 --> 00:56:54,719
Speaker 1: all the way at the end, it was I was frustrated.

1203
00:56:54,840 --> 00:56:56,640
Speaker 1: If you if you watch that game, you said, come on,

1204
00:56:56,719 --> 00:56:58,600
Speaker 1: let's go, let's go, and then by the end of it,

1205
00:56:58,920 --> 00:57:01,920
Speaker 1: let's not confuse a close game with a very good game.

1206
00:57:01,960 --> 00:57:04,040
Speaker 1: There's only one kind of good game for the twenty

1207
00:57:04,120 --> 00:57:06,640
Speaker 1: nineteen Bills. That is the man you're gonna win. Yeah,

1208
00:57:06,640 --> 00:57:08,480
Speaker 1: I agree with you. And I'll give you my I'll

1209
00:57:08,480 --> 00:57:12,839
Speaker 1: give you my weekly analogy. It's it's fishing. So it's

1210
00:57:12,920 --> 00:57:16,479
Speaker 1: fishing season. You hear, you're you're on the day, back early,

1211
00:57:16,480 --> 00:57:18,080
Speaker 1: and the guy gets back late and he comes in

1212
00:57:18,120 --> 00:57:20,160
Speaker 1: and he tells you he had a fish that was

1213
00:57:20,200 --> 00:57:22,360
Speaker 1: the biggest one of the season. You should have seen it,

1214
00:57:22,520 --> 00:57:25,400
Speaker 1: but it got away. You know what, everybody says, you

1215
00:57:25,440 --> 00:57:27,439
Speaker 1: know what I'm going in. Nobody wants to hear it.

1216
00:57:27,920 --> 00:57:29,840
Speaker 1: You don't want to hear about the fish that got away.

1217
00:57:30,000 --> 00:57:32,800
Speaker 1: It's just a story. And until you are on the

1218
00:57:32,880 --> 00:57:35,560
Speaker 1: dock taking a picture with a thing hanging by its tail,

1219
00:57:36,600 --> 00:57:39,480
Speaker 1: you don't It doesn't count. And that's what the Bills

1220
00:57:39,600 --> 00:57:42,720
Speaker 1: got to feel like. That was an opportunity that got

1221
00:57:42,760 --> 00:57:47,000
Speaker 1: away from him. That yeah, there, we know the Bills

1222
00:57:47,000 --> 00:57:50,080
Speaker 1: are good, but they gotta they gotta win, they gotta win.

1223
00:57:50,200 --> 00:57:52,800
Speaker 1: And that's it turned. The Baltimore game turns into nothing

1224
00:57:52,840 --> 00:57:54,640
Speaker 1: but a fish story about the one that got away.

1225
00:57:54,760 --> 00:57:56,880
Speaker 1: Like the Cleveland game earlier in the season, it just

1226
00:57:56,920 --> 00:58:00,720
Speaker 1: got away that nobody wants to hear that fish story. Big,

1227
00:58:00,800 --> 00:58:03,120
Speaker 1: You're on fire. And I would only take it a

1228
00:58:03,160 --> 00:58:06,560
Speaker 1: step further and say that this fisherman, let's call him Bill,

1229
00:58:07,360 --> 00:58:09,800
Speaker 1: has been wanting. He's been fishing all year, and he's

1230
00:58:09,800 --> 00:58:12,600
Speaker 1: been wanting for people to appreciate his craftsman as a fisherman,

1231
00:58:12,640 --> 00:58:14,520
Speaker 1: and he's been pulling in little fish and little fish,

1232
00:58:14,600 --> 00:58:16,400
Speaker 1: no one cares. Then a couple of weeks ago, at

1233
00:58:16,400 --> 00:58:18,360
Speaker 1: the end of Thanksgiving, he pulls in a pretty nice

1234
00:58:18,360 --> 00:58:21,120
Speaker 1: shiny fish with a star on the side, takes a picture,

1235
00:58:21,160 --> 00:58:23,440
Speaker 1: everyone sees it. He says, I told you I can fish.

1236
00:58:23,840 --> 00:58:25,640
Speaker 1: Then the next week he goes for an even bigger

1237
00:58:25,680 --> 00:58:27,800
Speaker 1: fish and he lets it off the hook and no

1238
00:58:27,840 --> 00:58:29,440
Speaker 1: one cares if it was on the line for a

1239
00:58:29,480 --> 00:58:31,320
Speaker 1: second like that. They spend all this time to go

1240
00:58:31,320 --> 00:58:32,800
Speaker 1: out to the end of the pier and watch him,

1241
00:58:33,040 --> 00:58:35,040
Speaker 1: and they didn't get it on the hook. So I

1242
00:58:35,120 --> 00:58:38,000
Speaker 1: couldn't I couldn't agree more. Steve, There's no doubt no

1243
00:58:38,040 --> 00:58:40,840
Speaker 1: one in the world doesn't think that the Buffalo Bills

1244
00:58:40,840 --> 00:58:44,080
Speaker 1: are good. Bravo, you're a good team. Do you want

1245
00:58:44,080 --> 00:58:45,600
Speaker 1: to be great? Do you want to grow up? You

1246
00:58:45,640 --> 00:58:47,120
Speaker 1: want to go to college, you want to get a job.

1247
00:58:47,160 --> 00:58:50,200
Speaker 1: It's a mentioned, it's potential. I feel it great paternal

1248
00:58:50,280 --> 00:58:52,800
Speaker 1: right now, you guys are good you graduated in high school.

1249
00:58:52,840 --> 00:58:54,720
Speaker 1: Do you want to go to college someday? Then let's

1250
00:58:54,760 --> 00:58:56,440
Speaker 1: work off. Let's get off the couch and work What

1251
00:58:56,560 --> 00:59:00,720
Speaker 1: if the fisherman doesn't doesn't have the right bait. The

1252
00:59:00,800 --> 00:59:03,200
Speaker 1: bills are not a strong offense. They are limited in

1253
00:59:03,240 --> 00:59:05,520
Speaker 1: the kind of bait they have. I'm not talking about

1254
00:59:05,520 --> 00:59:08,720
Speaker 1: moral victories here. I'm talking about a realistic analysis of

1255
00:59:08,760 --> 00:59:10,520
Speaker 1: the bill struggle. And let's face it, it's on the

1256
00:59:10,560 --> 00:59:14,360
Speaker 1: offensive side of the ball, you know, Murph. There's a

1257
00:59:14,360 --> 00:59:16,920
Speaker 1: lot of a lot of fish out there, and they're

1258
00:59:16,960 --> 00:59:19,120
Speaker 1: looking for baits. Sometimes maybe they need to get in

1259
00:59:19,160 --> 00:59:21,000
Speaker 1: there and spearfish. The thing I don't want to hear

1260
00:59:21,000 --> 00:59:23,840
Speaker 1: about worms versus whatever you got on the hook. They

1261
00:59:23,880 --> 00:59:25,880
Speaker 1: don't tell me that that nobody eats. What is it,

1262
00:59:25,960 --> 00:59:27,920
Speaker 1: you know, teach a buffalo bill to fish and he

1263
00:59:28,080 --> 00:59:30,439
Speaker 1: last a lifetime or whatever it is. We're so deep

1264
00:59:30,480 --> 00:59:33,040
Speaker 1: now in the metaphor. It's too late in the season

1265
00:59:33,080 --> 00:59:34,680
Speaker 1: to say you don't have you don't have a baith.

1266
00:59:34,960 --> 00:59:37,040
Speaker 1: You and I have talked for a lot about maybe

1267
00:59:37,040 --> 00:59:38,680
Speaker 1: they could have got some more bait in the trade

1268
00:59:38,720 --> 00:59:41,560
Speaker 1: that land, Maybe this, maybe that. That's all the chorus

1269
00:59:41,640 --> 00:59:44,520
Speaker 1: of losing whiners. We don't have enough players, We don't

1270
00:59:44,600 --> 00:59:47,480
Speaker 1: enough playmakers. Yes you do. You saw what they did

1271
00:59:47,520 --> 00:59:50,520
Speaker 1: on Thanksgiving Day. They could have beaten that team. They

1272
00:59:50,520 --> 00:59:52,960
Speaker 1: were two throws away from beating that Baltimore team. Their

1273
00:59:52,960 --> 00:59:55,439
Speaker 1: bait is fine, they got plenty of baitmurb I don't

1274
00:59:55,440 --> 00:59:57,200
Speaker 1: want to hear yeah I agree with you, and let

1275
00:59:57,480 --> 01:00:00,000
Speaker 1: yeah you agree with I'm leaving the fishing. I'm leaving

1276
01:00:00,080 --> 01:00:01,880
Speaker 1: the fishing analogy behind. I gotta get away. I could

1277
01:00:01,880 --> 01:00:04,240
Speaker 1: go dan deeper, but I'm not going to this team

1278
01:00:04,280 --> 01:00:06,280
Speaker 1: they're playing this week, the Steelers. They're built a lot

1279
01:00:06,320 --> 01:00:09,240
Speaker 1: like the Bills, but a little differently, but they lean

1280
01:00:09,320 --> 01:00:11,480
Speaker 1: on a big defense. They've won eight out of the

1281
01:00:11,560 --> 01:00:14,120
Speaker 1: last ten. They're playing a lot better. They've got a

1282
01:00:14,120 --> 01:00:17,600
Speaker 1: professional duck caller at quarterback. Who's they caught lightning in

1283
01:00:17,640 --> 01:00:21,720
Speaker 1: the bottom a little bit. They're playing well two teams.

1284
01:00:22,000 --> 01:00:24,000
Speaker 1: This may be a six to three football game. With

1285
01:00:24,080 --> 01:00:26,400
Speaker 1: the way these two defenses are playing and the way

1286
01:00:26,400 --> 01:00:31,760
Speaker 1: these two offenses are playing, it's crazy. We've gone. We've

1287
01:00:31,760 --> 01:00:35,040
Speaker 1: gone from fish to duck now. Yeah, like one of

1288
01:00:35,040 --> 01:00:39,160
Speaker 1: these in he created callers calling you guys. Yes, they

1289
01:00:39,240 --> 01:00:40,920
Speaker 1: have a really they have a thing going this and

1290
01:00:41,000 --> 01:00:43,000
Speaker 1: this is different second week in a row now that

1291
01:00:43,120 --> 01:00:45,000
Speaker 1: the Bills have running into a team that have their

1292
01:00:45,040 --> 01:00:47,760
Speaker 1: own thing going, and I think Pittsburgh's is different. Whereas

1293
01:00:47,760 --> 01:00:51,080
Speaker 1: Baltimore as this juggernaut and the front runner, Pittsburgh is

1294
01:00:51,120 --> 01:00:54,040
Speaker 1: to say, screw it, we haven't had this star. You

1295
01:00:54,040 --> 01:00:57,920
Speaker 1: don't see never mind James Conners, you smisters, don't see Levion,

1296
01:00:58,000 --> 01:01:00,680
Speaker 1: you don't see a b don't see Rothsburgh's, any of them.

1297
01:01:00,720 --> 01:01:03,280
Speaker 1: It's it's dangerous thing that this Pittsburgh team reminds me

1298
01:01:03,320 --> 01:01:05,960
Speaker 1: at the beginning of the Roethlisberger era, when he was

1299
01:01:06,000 --> 01:01:08,840
Speaker 1: this young chucker twenty two years old, and they had

1300
01:01:08,880 --> 01:01:12,520
Speaker 1: these great defensive players. They still had Paulamalou and Harrison

1301
01:01:12,520 --> 01:01:15,520
Speaker 1: and those guys, and the quarterback wasn't prolific, but they

1302
01:01:15,520 --> 01:01:18,320
Speaker 1: could still beat you up. I would love to say

1303
01:01:18,320 --> 01:01:20,080
Speaker 1: that you get a break after the Baltimore game and

1304
01:01:20,120 --> 01:01:23,480
Speaker 1: you run into somebody's off. This Pittsburgh team is really good.

1305
01:01:23,800 --> 01:01:26,680
Speaker 1: And Mike Tomlin does not ever have bad season. You

1306
01:01:26,680 --> 01:01:29,080
Speaker 1: can look it up. Never been sub five hundred, never

1307
01:01:29,160 --> 01:01:30,960
Speaker 1: been out down and out and out like that. The

1308
01:01:30,960 --> 01:01:33,280
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh teams incredibly motivated and what are they met up

1309
01:01:33,280 --> 01:01:36,280
Speaker 1: for the AMC Wildcard? This is a great Sunday night game.

1310
01:01:36,680 --> 01:01:39,439
Speaker 1: And Josh Allen again he can't lose to the Duck,

1311
01:01:39,520 --> 01:01:42,040
Speaker 1: and the Duck's never lost to anybody in this league.

1312
01:01:42,120 --> 01:01:44,120
Speaker 1: But with cal Brand host a Good Morning Football on

1313
01:01:44,240 --> 01:01:46,640
Speaker 1: NFL Network, you can catch that at seven am weekdays

1314
01:01:46,640 --> 01:01:49,560
Speaker 1: on NFL Network. Is it okay, how at the risk

1315
01:01:49,600 --> 01:01:51,520
Speaker 1: of being called a moral victory guy, which I am not,

1316
01:01:52,000 --> 01:01:54,240
Speaker 1: Is it okay to acknowledge that the Buffalo defense did

1317
01:01:54,320 --> 01:01:56,680
Speaker 1: not good but a really good job on Lamar Jackson

1318
01:01:56,760 --> 01:02:00,520
Speaker 1: last Sunday, No, Murph, I want to gonna give you that.

1319
01:02:00,560 --> 01:02:03,040
Speaker 1: I don't want to acknowledge it. No, Yes, they played well,

1320
01:02:03,480 --> 01:02:06,760
Speaker 1: and here's the thing. If all goes well, they may

1321
01:02:06,760 --> 01:02:10,760
Speaker 1: get another shot at Lamar in about six weeks. So sure,

1322
01:02:11,200 --> 01:02:13,880
Speaker 1: it's good, but again, it feels very much like a

1323
01:02:13,960 --> 01:02:17,040
Speaker 1: participation trophy. They did play well against him. His numbers

1324
01:02:17,040 --> 01:02:19,120
Speaker 1: were down, and everyone wants to point that out, and

1325
01:02:19,160 --> 01:02:22,320
Speaker 1: that's great. I don't know, Lamar Jackson won, and it's

1326
01:02:22,360 --> 01:02:25,160
Speaker 1: a totally different deal this week against the devil Nodges

1327
01:02:25,160 --> 01:02:27,160
Speaker 1: because he's not running at all, and it's a more

1328
01:02:27,160 --> 01:02:30,280
Speaker 1: traditional deal. If they see Baltimore again in the playoffs,

1329
01:02:30,400 --> 01:02:32,720
Speaker 1: then we can revisit this, and then there's gonna be

1330
01:02:32,760 --> 01:02:35,439
Speaker 1: all this blueprint talk about how they handle them. That's

1331
01:02:35,480 --> 01:02:38,240
Speaker 1: a light year away from that. I won't even go there.

1332
01:02:38,320 --> 01:02:40,840
Speaker 1: Not a chance that they're terrible against Lamar, you know

1333
01:02:40,880 --> 01:02:42,520
Speaker 1: what I mean. But this is I'll tell you what,

1334
01:02:42,800 --> 01:02:45,640
Speaker 1: And this is a really fun game to think about

1335
01:02:45,680 --> 01:02:48,160
Speaker 1: between Pittsburgh and Buffalo. Both these teams got a lot

1336
01:02:48,160 --> 01:02:50,800
Speaker 1: at stake, and I wanted to ask you something about

1337
01:02:50,840 --> 01:02:52,600
Speaker 1: one of the great stories that was come took place

1338
01:02:52,720 --> 01:02:55,360
Speaker 1: last week that culminated last night on Monday Night football.

1339
01:02:55,400 --> 01:02:59,120
Speaker 1: How for me? And I'm not a Giants guy, but

1340
01:02:59,200 --> 01:03:01,600
Speaker 1: I am an Elie and guy, and I am so

1341
01:03:01,800 --> 01:03:07,080
Speaker 1: bitterly disappointed that he couldn't pull off that one last hurrah.

1342
01:03:07,120 --> 01:03:08,760
Speaker 1: He's gonna play again this week. I get it and

1343
01:03:08,800 --> 01:03:11,760
Speaker 1: all that, but to come in and play like he did,

1344
01:03:11,800 --> 01:03:13,320
Speaker 1: at least in the first half where he come out

1345
01:03:13,360 --> 01:03:15,880
Speaker 1: through a couple of strikes, got him out to the seventeen,

1346
01:03:15,960 --> 01:03:18,400
Speaker 1: you know, the fourteen point lead, and they couldn't hang on.

1347
01:03:18,880 --> 01:03:21,720
Speaker 1: I was so disappointed that Eli and the Giants or

1348
01:03:21,720 --> 01:03:24,000
Speaker 1: at least the Giants couldn't help Eli out and win

1349
01:03:24,080 --> 01:03:27,520
Speaker 1: one with him back at the Helm. It was wild

1350
01:03:27,560 --> 01:03:30,560
Speaker 1: theater too, and I think it was compelling because every

1351
01:03:30,600 --> 01:03:33,920
Speaker 1: football fan has at least an opinion on Eli. If

1352
01:03:33,920 --> 01:03:36,040
Speaker 1: you don't like him, if you do, all of us

1353
01:03:36,040 --> 01:03:39,120
Speaker 1: have an opinion on him. I kind of got caught

1354
01:03:39,200 --> 01:03:40,960
Speaker 1: up to Steve and this idea that this could have

1355
01:03:41,000 --> 01:03:42,960
Speaker 1: been this Hollywood walk off, and you know, there's a

1356
01:03:42,960 --> 01:03:45,280
Speaker 1: million shots of Peyton in the booth and he's cheering.

1357
01:03:45,440 --> 01:03:49,200
Speaker 1: Yet it really was, if nothing else, kind of an

1358
01:03:49,200 --> 01:03:52,960
Speaker 1: authentic Eli experience in the sense that out of nowhere,

1359
01:03:53,000 --> 01:03:54,919
Speaker 1: he lights it up and he's doing his fist bump

1360
01:03:54,960 --> 01:03:56,320
Speaker 1: and oh my god, he'd like him play. And then

1361
01:03:56,360 --> 01:03:58,560
Speaker 1: in the second half it just goes away and it

1362
01:03:58,640 --> 01:04:01,920
Speaker 1: was kind of both sides of the ELI Personally, I

1363
01:04:02,000 --> 01:04:04,160
Speaker 1: was disappointed because you know, there was so much talk

1364
01:04:04,640 --> 01:04:06,520
Speaker 1: that he was one hundred and sixteen on one hundred

1365
01:04:06,520 --> 01:04:09,400
Speaker 1: and sixteen as a starter going into that game, and

1366
01:04:09,600 --> 01:04:11,880
Speaker 1: it was just a very Eli manning thing. The only

1367
01:04:11,920 --> 01:04:14,280
Speaker 1: thing it would have been more Eli once the game

1368
01:04:14,320 --> 01:04:17,720
Speaker 1: went to overtime, imagine if they did tie an ELI

1369
01:04:17,760 --> 01:04:20,520
Speaker 1: finished career one sixteen one sixteen and one. I mean,

1370
01:04:20,600 --> 01:04:24,560
Speaker 1: that would have been the complete perfect walk off until then.

1371
01:04:24,560 --> 01:04:26,720
Speaker 1: Now he's a sub five hundred guy and people will

1372
01:04:26,800 --> 01:04:29,560
Speaker 1: use that against him. And I think it's interesting because

1373
01:04:29,600 --> 01:04:32,760
Speaker 1: of all years that Eli could be potentially done, you know,

1374
01:04:32,840 --> 01:04:34,880
Speaker 1: maybe he wants to play, maybe he wants to start

1375
01:04:34,880 --> 01:04:38,720
Speaker 1: somewhere else. It's gonna be a fascinating, robust year in

1376
01:04:38,760 --> 01:04:45,080
Speaker 1: the pre agent quarterback market with anybody from Jams, Cam Newton, Tannehill, Mariota.

1377
01:04:45,160 --> 01:04:48,040
Speaker 1: We may see Philip Rivers, we may see Tom Brady.

1378
01:04:48,080 --> 01:04:50,280
Speaker 1: We don't even know. But of all the years that

1379
01:04:50,360 --> 01:04:52,120
Speaker 1: Eli is going to hit it, it's it's like a

1380
01:04:52,120 --> 01:04:54,840
Speaker 1: good fraternal get together. It's not really one that's good

1381
01:04:54,840 --> 01:04:57,040
Speaker 1: for him. So that could have been his last game

1382
01:04:57,120 --> 01:04:59,120
Speaker 1: last night, if not next week. Kyle, I feel like

1383
01:04:59,160 --> 01:05:01,640
Speaker 1: the other quarterback site needed to win, right Carson Wentz

1384
01:05:01,640 --> 01:05:04,760
Speaker 1: need to establish his crenancials as a quarterback who can

1385
01:05:04,880 --> 01:05:07,240
Speaker 1: lead his team into the playoffs. And they're still right there.

1386
01:05:08,680 --> 01:05:11,480
Speaker 1: They are right there, and nobody knows better than Bills

1387
01:05:11,520 --> 01:05:13,320
Speaker 1: fans that the team the Eagles are chasing out. The

1388
01:05:13,320 --> 01:05:17,160
Speaker 1: Cowboys are extremely beatable, and I expect the Cowboys to

1389
01:05:17,320 --> 01:05:19,840
Speaker 1: lose again this weekend to the Rams. It's an interesting

1390
01:05:19,840 --> 01:05:22,440
Speaker 1: thing with Carson Wentz because you know he gets I

1391
01:05:22,480 --> 01:05:25,240
Speaker 1: think at this point anybody's still bringing up Nick Foles

1392
01:05:25,360 --> 01:05:28,320
Speaker 1: is unfair because if you see what Carson Wentz is

1393
01:05:28,320 --> 01:05:30,760
Speaker 1: out there dealing with, it's not this crazy super Bowl

1394
01:05:30,800 --> 01:05:33,320
Speaker 1: team with dog masks that Nick Foles was leading. You

1395
01:05:33,360 --> 01:05:35,360
Speaker 1: were talking about it in your sports reportmer If. It's

1396
01:05:35,400 --> 01:05:37,240
Speaker 1: not a made up thing, it's not from the onion.

1397
01:05:37,440 --> 01:05:39,640
Speaker 1: They were so banged up that not only were they

1398
01:05:39,720 --> 01:05:42,240
Speaker 1: having a quarterback prepared to play wide receiver, they were

1399
01:05:42,240 --> 01:05:45,200
Speaker 1: having a forty year old quarterback play wide receiver. Josh

1400
01:05:45,240 --> 01:05:48,000
Speaker 1: McColl was ready to go in. He actually was switching

1401
01:05:48,080 --> 01:05:50,440
Speaker 1: helmets because you can only have one helmet with a microphone,

1402
01:05:50,480 --> 01:05:52,680
Speaker 1: and it's put on a wide receiver helmet. I was

1403
01:05:52,760 --> 01:05:54,800
Speaker 1: texting with McCown this morning because I love him and

1404
01:05:54,840 --> 01:05:56,640
Speaker 1: I communicate with him a little bit. He says, no,

1405
01:05:56,680 --> 01:05:58,720
Speaker 1: it's a joke. I was about to go in, a

1406
01:05:58,760 --> 01:06:00,960
Speaker 1: forty year old quarterback, first year on the team, play

1407
01:06:01,000 --> 01:06:03,280
Speaker 1: wide receiver, and I bring that up only to say

1408
01:06:03,560 --> 01:06:06,200
Speaker 1: everybody's injured this time of year, we get it. Nobody

1409
01:06:06,280 --> 01:06:08,720
Speaker 1: is that injured. I mean that I've never heard of

1410
01:06:08,760 --> 01:06:11,400
Speaker 1: something like that, and they were almost there. Yet they

1411
01:06:11,440 --> 01:06:14,000
Speaker 1: still win, and I am only in My only choice

1412
01:06:14,040 --> 01:06:15,760
Speaker 1: is to believe in them over Dallas is because Dallas

1413
01:06:15,800 --> 01:06:17,320
Speaker 1: has given me nothing. I think the Eagle are kind

1414
01:06:17,320 --> 01:06:19,160
Speaker 1: of win this thing. Yeah, I think when you see

1415
01:06:19,160 --> 01:06:21,560
Speaker 1: a team dig deep like the Eagles did last night

1416
01:06:21,600 --> 01:06:24,040
Speaker 1: against a division arrival, and it gives you a little

1417
01:06:24,120 --> 01:06:25,840
Speaker 1: confidence they can do the same to the rest of

1418
01:06:25,880 --> 01:06:28,080
Speaker 1: the division, particularly down the stretch when they got a

1419
01:06:28,160 --> 01:06:32,480
Speaker 1: chance to win the division with that record. So I

1420
01:06:32,960 --> 01:06:34,680
Speaker 1: get that. I agree with you. It does give me

1421
01:06:34,680 --> 01:06:36,600
Speaker 1: some confidence in Philly that they dug deep and got

1422
01:06:36,640 --> 01:06:39,080
Speaker 1: one against the Giants. I want to ask you as well.

1423
01:06:39,400 --> 01:06:41,400
Speaker 1: One of the things that we're talking about today was

1424
01:06:41,440 --> 01:06:44,480
Speaker 1: the New England Patriots, and it's not it's not a

1425
01:06:44,520 --> 01:06:48,560
Speaker 1: cinem photography issue. It's more about their offense. I want

1426
01:06:48,560 --> 01:06:52,720
Speaker 1: to see can they can they get it together? The

1427
01:06:53,080 --> 01:06:56,280
Speaker 1: Patriots are I've We've never seen Tom Brady have a

1428
01:06:56,360 --> 01:06:59,120
Speaker 1: year like this. I'll just say that, yeah, you know,

1429
01:06:59,200 --> 01:07:01,760
Speaker 1: it's every every year. At some point, Steve, we say

1430
01:07:01,920 --> 01:07:04,240
Speaker 1: they're done, they're they're washed, they're wrapped up there. It's

1431
01:07:04,240 --> 01:07:06,600
Speaker 1: not working. But a couple of things. One it's never

1432
01:07:06,640 --> 01:07:08,919
Speaker 1: been this bad offensively, and two it's ever been this late.

1433
01:07:09,200 --> 01:07:12,200
Speaker 1: I mean it's we're over a week in the December. Now.

1434
01:07:12,240 --> 01:07:14,400
Speaker 1: This is not them hitting them the deer of November

1435
01:07:14,400 --> 01:07:16,880
Speaker 1: and everyone doubting them. And I know they're on the

1436
01:07:16,880 --> 01:07:19,880
Speaker 1: schedule for the bills coming up soon. My question is,

1437
01:07:19,920 --> 01:07:22,479
Speaker 1: you know we're hyping all these great young so quote

1438
01:07:22,520 --> 01:07:27,480
Speaker 1: unquote boy geniuses, whether you have Ian mcvayh or Lafleur

1439
01:07:28,080 --> 01:07:32,000
Speaker 1: or whoever it may be, Kyle Shanahan. Where is Josh

1440
01:07:32,080 --> 01:07:34,400
Speaker 1: McDaniels on this, because this is the guy who's supposed

1441
01:07:34,440 --> 01:07:36,920
Speaker 1: to be able to coach through anything, who's a genius

1442
01:07:36,960 --> 01:07:39,440
Speaker 1: with talent, who's the head coach and waiting? And I

1443
01:07:39,520 --> 01:07:41,760
Speaker 1: know that they don't have a bunch of juggernauts on offense,

1444
01:07:41,800 --> 01:07:44,160
Speaker 1: but I see guys. I see Edelman, I see Sony,

1445
01:07:44,200 --> 01:07:47,160
Speaker 1: Michelle Rex Burkhead, Mohammed Sanu, who they traded a second

1446
01:07:47,240 --> 01:07:50,520
Speaker 1: round pick four. That's my biggest question. Belichick hords these

1447
01:07:50,560 --> 01:07:52,640
Speaker 1: draft picks and treats them like gold. It's been a

1448
01:07:52,720 --> 01:07:56,960
Speaker 1: second round pick on Mohammed Sanu, who is more than

1449
01:07:57,120 --> 01:08:00,440
Speaker 1: capable veteran wide receiver who was brought in to make catches.

1450
01:08:00,680 --> 01:08:03,920
Speaker 1: He's nowhere in the offense, so I don't know if

1451
01:08:03,920 --> 01:08:05,840
Speaker 1: he's in the doghouse, if he doesn't get along with

1452
01:08:05,880 --> 01:08:08,480
Speaker 1: Brady or what. But he's a non factor. And I'll

1453
01:08:08,520 --> 01:08:10,960
Speaker 1: say this for Bills fans, there's never been a better

1454
01:08:11,000 --> 01:08:13,640
Speaker 1: time in twenty years to play the New England Patriots

1455
01:08:13,640 --> 01:08:16,120
Speaker 1: than there is right now because they can be taken

1456
01:08:16,120 --> 01:08:17,880
Speaker 1: out and we start going to see it again. And

1457
01:08:17,960 --> 01:08:21,880
Speaker 1: Steve mentioned the cinematography issue. Kyle, I have a feeling

1458
01:08:21,920 --> 01:08:24,720
Speaker 1: that's kind of a phony issue, and I'm interested in

1459
01:08:24,760 --> 01:08:27,200
Speaker 1: your take on it. This won't get legs and become

1460
01:08:27,240 --> 01:08:28,920
Speaker 1: a big thing over the next few weeks. We'll let

1461
01:08:28,920 --> 01:08:31,960
Speaker 1: the Bengals of it. It's just any other team of

1462
01:08:32,120 --> 01:08:34,120
Speaker 1: any thirty one other teams. It's not a big thing.

1463
01:08:34,720 --> 01:08:37,360
Speaker 1: This one is just so much scarred tissue, and it's

1464
01:08:37,400 --> 01:08:40,160
Speaker 1: so fascinating, and there's such a rapid following of it,

1465
01:08:40,200 --> 01:08:43,759
Speaker 1: and it's Look, the fact is, if you are someone

1466
01:08:43,840 --> 01:08:47,720
Speaker 1: who has been unfaithful to your wife and you've had

1467
01:08:47,720 --> 01:08:50,599
Speaker 1: some incidents and they're documented and you've apologized and forged

1468
01:08:50,640 --> 01:08:53,439
Speaker 1: through them, if you're caught in a hotel room with

1469
01:08:53,479 --> 01:08:57,360
Speaker 1: a woman. Maybe it's completely coincidental or professional or nothing

1470
01:08:57,479 --> 01:09:00,360
Speaker 1: was going on. You can't say that to your wife.

1471
01:09:00,360 --> 01:09:02,120
Speaker 1: You can't say no, it's not what it looks like.

1472
01:09:02,520 --> 01:09:05,000
Speaker 1: It's what it looks like. You lost the right to

1473
01:09:05,200 --> 01:09:08,000
Speaker 1: say no, this is a coincidence, there's nothing going on.

1474
01:09:08,120 --> 01:09:10,640
Speaker 1: So I don't know the facts of it. It is

1475
01:09:10,680 --> 01:09:12,800
Speaker 1: a little bit odd. And the fact that they've been

1476
01:09:12,800 --> 01:09:15,599
Speaker 1: down this road before, um, it's gonna be a thing.

1477
01:09:15,680 --> 01:09:17,439
Speaker 1: I don't think this is gonna go away as maybe

1478
01:09:17,479 --> 01:09:20,519
Speaker 1: some others do as quickly rather but we are right

1479
01:09:20,560 --> 01:09:22,240
Speaker 1: in the thick of it. And here's the here's the

1480
01:09:22,280 --> 01:09:25,479
Speaker 1: most irritating part is that if there's something that the

1481
01:09:25,520 --> 01:09:28,799
Speaker 1: Patriots could do with this is take this whatever it is, imagine,

1482
01:09:28,840 --> 01:09:31,479
Speaker 1: contrive or whatever and churn in into some sort of

1483
01:09:31,479 --> 01:09:34,320
Speaker 1: fuel like watch they'll use it as a slight And

1484
01:09:34,360 --> 01:09:37,120
Speaker 1: the timing is perfect. So it's a bad thing in

1485
01:09:37,200 --> 01:09:39,360
Speaker 1: all regards. But I bet the Patriots find a way

1486
01:09:39,360 --> 01:09:41,360
Speaker 1: on the field to channeling. Yeah, I'm sure they do.

1487
01:09:41,439 --> 01:09:44,759
Speaker 1: And did you get anything from their ability to maybe

1488
01:09:44,920 --> 01:09:47,920
Speaker 1: late in the game with the Chiefs find a way

1489
01:09:47,960 --> 01:09:50,479
Speaker 1: to kind of derail Patrick Mahomes and those guys, or

1490
01:09:50,479 --> 01:09:52,599
Speaker 1: do you put any texted, any any faith in that

1491
01:09:52,760 --> 01:09:56,360
Speaker 1: or not that the Patriots their defense is good, you know,

1492
01:09:56,720 --> 01:10:01,280
Speaker 1: but they're two best plays. They were a techmobowl, a

1493
01:10:01,400 --> 01:10:03,599
Speaker 1: video game. On the Patriots offense right now, there's only

1494
01:10:03,640 --> 01:10:06,280
Speaker 1: two plays that worked for them. One a trick play

1495
01:10:06,320 --> 01:10:08,479
Speaker 1: where somebody else other than Brady throws it and then

1496
01:10:08,520 --> 01:10:11,519
Speaker 1: to throw it and hope for passing your Farents. Trick play,

1497
01:10:11,600 --> 01:10:14,640
Speaker 1: passing your Farents. That's it. So it's kind of like

1498
01:10:14,680 --> 01:10:16,840
Speaker 1: I guess I could bring it full circle with the

1499
01:10:16,840 --> 01:10:19,639
Speaker 1: Bills against the Ravens. Yeah, the defense played pretty well,

1500
01:10:19,880 --> 01:10:23,200
Speaker 1: but they lost at home and the offense wasn't good enough.

1501
01:10:23,320 --> 01:10:25,840
Speaker 1: So there's blood in the water like there's never been.

1502
01:10:25,920 --> 01:10:27,599
Speaker 1: But I let's put it this way, guys, if they

1503
01:10:27,680 --> 01:10:31,200
Speaker 1: lose this weekend to the Bengals, it's it's the apocalypse.

1504
01:10:31,320 --> 01:10:34,960
Speaker 1: I don't think they will, but there's plenty of the concern. Kyle,

1505
01:10:35,040 --> 01:10:36,640
Speaker 1: Thanks for this. We look forward to talking to you

1506
01:10:36,680 --> 01:10:38,040
Speaker 1: next week. And I don't know, I just hope the

1507
01:10:38,040 --> 01:10:40,519
Speaker 1: Bills play well at Pittsburgh and maybe show up and

1508
01:10:40,760 --> 01:10:44,200
Speaker 1: keep it close. I'd be happy knowing that. Really I'm

1509

01:10:48,600 --> 01:10:51,400
Speaker 1: the pier and fish. Okay, and next week while I'm

1512

1517
01:11:04,479 --> 01:11:06,400
Speaker 1: We talked about it yesterday. I didn't think that was

1518
01:11:06,439 --> 01:11:08,400
Speaker 1: a moral victory. No, But I gotta ease up on

1519
01:11:08,400 --> 01:11:10,559
Speaker 1: the analogies. We went down the rabbit hole with efficient thing,

1520
01:11:10,560 --> 01:11:12,479
Speaker 1: and we can We almost didn't find our way out

1521
01:11:12,479 --> 01:11:14,040
Speaker 1: of it. We gotta get out of it. I gotta

1522

Speaker 1: Le's great, He's great, all right. What do you think

1523
01:11:17,040 --> 01:11:19,600
Speaker 1: the Buffalo offense. What's the most important adjustments they can make?

1524
01:11:19,680 --> 01:11:22,439
Speaker 1: Short term? Here? Not draft a receiver, tight end, not

1525
01:11:22,520 --> 01:11:24,720
Speaker 1: do this, do that, But short term this week and

1526
01:11:24,800 --> 01:11:26,800
Speaker 1: the remaining couple of weeks of the season, the most

1527
01:11:26,840 --> 01:11:29,240
Speaker 1: important adjustments for the Buffalo offense. Give us a call

1528
01:11:29,560 --> 01:11:32,080
Speaker 1: eight O three five fifty or towl three one eight

01:11:36,960 --> 01:11:39,360
Speaker 1: One Bill's Live, we're voting the Twitter poll. We're coming back.

1535
01:12:05,200 --> 01:12:10,040
Speaker 1: that's so funny. Well, yeah, no, it's good. It's good show.

1536
01:12:10,360 --> 01:12:12,639
Speaker 1: Col Brant was great, but we went down that fishing

1537
01:12:12,680 --> 01:12:15,400
Speaker 1: analogy a little too far. Well, it didn't. And Joe

1538
01:12:15,439 --> 01:12:17,200
Speaker 1: the caller, by the way, Joe the caller who got

1539
01:12:17,240 --> 01:12:19,679
Speaker 1: back and hung up on us, you'd call back anytime

1540
01:12:19,720 --> 01:12:22,000
Speaker 1: you want, because you were good. Your points were valid,

1541
01:12:22,600 --> 01:12:27,040
Speaker 1: although wrong, And I'm just telling you they're not. The

1542
01:12:28,120 --> 01:12:30,600
Speaker 1: criticizing Sean McDermott for not throwing the challenge flag on

1543
01:12:30,640 --> 01:12:34,840
Speaker 1: that pass interference call. It's crazy talk. There's they're going

1544
01:12:34,880 --> 01:12:39,640
Speaker 1: to get that reverse. So anyway, it's worth debate. No,

1545
01:12:40,439 --> 01:12:43,280
Speaker 1: it's worth a debate. We debated at Sunday and debated

1546
01:12:43,439 --> 01:12:46,720
Speaker 1: until you see the thing in slow motion wants from

1547
01:12:46,760 --> 01:12:49,960
Speaker 1: any angle, it's worth debate. No, not after you see

1548
01:12:50,000 --> 01:12:52,840
Speaker 1: the video and look in the perfect world, they'd get

1549
01:12:52,840 --> 01:12:54,519
Speaker 1: the call right down in the field and you wouldn't

1550
01:12:54,520 --> 01:12:58,160
Speaker 1: even be worried about sending it to New York. Right. Well,

1551
01:12:58,200 --> 01:13:00,400
Speaker 1: this just end. We live in this reality, not the

1552
01:13:00,439 --> 01:13:04,680
Speaker 1: perfect one that everybody fantasizes about. Most important adjustment the

1553
01:13:04,680 --> 01:13:06,920
Speaker 1: Buffalo offense should make short term here, what do you think?

1554

1559
01:13:18,800 --> 01:13:21,160
Speaker 1: Forty six percent of you almost have say have an

1560
01:13:21,160 --> 01:13:24,200
Speaker 1: answer for the blitz that seems logical. Have an answer.

1561
01:13:24,400 --> 01:13:27,400
Speaker 1: Thirty seven percent say hit on the missed opportunities, get

1562
01:13:27,439 --> 01:13:31,479
Speaker 1: some deep passes, fourteen percent say get more out of

1563
01:13:31,479 --> 01:13:34,680
Speaker 1: the short passing game, in other words, easier completions, and

1564
01:13:35,120 --> 01:13:37,280
Speaker 1: three percent have something else in mind. Let's hear what

1565

Speaker 1: eight eight five fifty two five fifty. Josh on the

1568
01:13:44,200 --> 01:13:47,960
Speaker 1: line from Gowanda, Hello Josh, go ahead, Heyah, what's going on, guys,

1569
01:13:48,120 --> 01:13:55,040
Speaker 1: Hi cannot he can't be taking these huge sacks when

1570
01:13:55,040 --> 01:13:57,640
Speaker 1: we're getting down on the red zone near that, you know,

1571
01:13:57,680 --> 01:14:00,120
Speaker 1: anywhere in scoring opportunity, when we have a chance to

1572
01:14:00,160 --> 01:14:03,080
Speaker 1: get at least three points. We need them three points.

1573
01:14:03,120 --> 01:14:05,600
Speaker 1: Whether he's got a you know, change that play to

1574
01:14:05,680 --> 01:14:08,320
Speaker 1: a run, whether it's a loss of one, you know,

1575
01:14:08,479 --> 01:14:11,559
Speaker 1: rather than a loss of eight, ten, whatever that is.

1576
01:14:12,080 --> 01:14:14,439
Speaker 1: You know that we we just can be having that

1577
01:14:14,479 --> 01:14:16,360
Speaker 1: no more. Yeah, I agree with you. Those were it

1578
01:14:16,400 --> 01:14:18,519
Speaker 1: happened like what three I don't know, I'm off the

1579
01:14:18,560 --> 01:14:20,280
Speaker 1: top of my head. I think like three times during

1580
01:14:20,320 --> 01:14:24,240
Speaker 1: this game last week against Baltimore Fion, you know, our

1581
01:14:24,439 --> 01:14:27,320
Speaker 1: unner of like, you know, I'll kick a sixty yard

1582
01:14:27,320 --> 01:14:29,360
Speaker 1: boomer with the win, and then it kicks a thirty

1583
01:14:29,400 --> 01:14:35,960
Speaker 1: yard turn, you know, because it gets the Ravens are

1584
01:14:35,960 --> 01:14:37,519
Speaker 1: the best team in the league, and we're gonna give

1585
01:14:37,600 --> 01:14:40,759
Speaker 1: him the ball inside our own fifty How many times? Josh?

1586
01:14:40,840 --> 01:14:42,800
Speaker 1: I am totally with you. I am totally with you.

1587
01:14:42,800 --> 01:14:44,760
Speaker 1: You're right, Josh took a couple of bad sacks when

1588
01:14:44,800 --> 01:14:46,479
Speaker 1: they were down in field goal range. I think one

1589
01:14:46,560 --> 01:14:48,240
Speaker 1: time out of the three that I can think of,

1590
01:14:48,840 --> 01:14:50,599
Speaker 1: they got back into field goal range, and I think

1591
01:14:50,600 --> 01:14:52,360
Speaker 1: it was the second field goal of the first half,

1592
01:14:52,479 --> 01:14:54,600
Speaker 1: and then a couple other times they ended up, you know,

1593
01:14:54,680 --> 01:14:57,759
Speaker 1: punting it away because they he got took a bad sack.

1594
01:14:58,080 --> 01:14:59,559
Speaker 1: I agree with you, and to do that, it's not

1595
01:14:59,600 --> 01:15:01,639
Speaker 1: just him getting out of play, it's him just thrown

1596
01:15:01,680 --> 01:15:04,320
Speaker 1: it away and in completion is better than a sack

1597
01:15:04,360 --> 01:15:08,800
Speaker 1: there anyway. And you're right, Corey Berkez is wildly inconsistent.

1598
01:15:08,840 --> 01:15:12,200
Speaker 1: That's been I think that's been his most glaring deficiency.

1599
01:15:12,680 --> 01:15:16,760
Speaker 1: You can't. You gotta be dependable. Your bottom can't be

1600
01:15:17,320 --> 01:15:20,800
Speaker 1: that low. Even if your high end is really high.

1601
01:15:20,960 --> 01:15:24,320
Speaker 1: You gotta have your bottom higher. You can't be hitting

1602
01:15:24,360 --> 01:15:27,000
Speaker 1: twenty nine yard punts or thirty nine yard punts and

1603
01:15:27,200 --> 01:15:29,880
Speaker 1: gross out of bounds. You gotta hit him a long

1604
01:15:29,960 --> 01:15:34,120
Speaker 1: way and he's just he doesn't once in a while,

1605
01:15:34,280 --> 01:15:38,920
Speaker 1: but not consistently enough. Sick call here from Jerry in Tonawanda. Hello, Jerry,

1606
01:15:38,960 --> 01:15:43,720
Speaker 1: Welcome to the show. I'm merphro Steve. I think I

1607
01:15:43,760 --> 01:15:45,599
Speaker 1: don't know. I'd like to see a few more screens

1608
01:15:45,600 --> 01:15:49,080
Speaker 1: with single Parry and even Dawson Knox, but I would

1609
01:15:49,160 --> 01:15:53,960
Speaker 1: like we got the old Dale Beckham of the North,

1610
01:15:54,200 --> 01:15:57,200
Speaker 1: I mean the CFL Duke Williams. I just want to

1611
01:15:57,240 --> 01:16:00,320
Speaker 1: see him getting there in the red zone in throw

1612
01:16:00,400 --> 01:16:03,360
Speaker 1: some fifty fifty balls up for him and let's see

1613
01:16:03,400 --> 01:16:08,519
Speaker 1: what this kid could do. I mean, uh, Foster isn't

1614
01:16:08,520 --> 01:16:10,920
Speaker 1: going to be on the team next year, so let's see.

1615
01:16:10,920 --> 01:16:12,800
Speaker 1: If you don't know that, how do you know that

1616
01:16:14,280 --> 01:16:17,200
Speaker 1: I wouldn't give up on Robert Foster there quick? I

1617
01:16:17,320 --> 01:16:20,120
Speaker 1: just you know, I'll just suffered that he's not gonna

1618
01:16:20,120 --> 01:16:24,599
Speaker 1: be on the might. Yeah, don't don't be too quick

1619
01:16:24,640 --> 01:16:26,360
Speaker 1: to make that. I know other people who thought Robert

1620
01:16:26,360 --> 01:16:28,200
Speaker 1: Foster wasn't gonna be weren't gonna be on the team

1621
01:16:28,240 --> 01:16:32,120
Speaker 1: this year either, And here he is, and like last year,

1622
01:16:32,160 --> 01:16:34,120
Speaker 1: he's kind of emerging in the second half of the season.

1623
01:16:34,120 --> 01:16:36,360
Speaker 1: I don't know why that is or what that's about,

1624
01:16:37,000 --> 01:16:40,840
Speaker 1: but there's something about him that this coaching staff likes.

1625
01:16:40,840 --> 01:16:42,800
Speaker 1: Certainly his speed has a lot to do with that.

1626
01:16:42,960 --> 01:16:46,559
Speaker 1: Plus he's contributing on special teams as well. He's gotten

1627
01:16:46,560 --> 01:16:49,599
Speaker 1: to be a better football player. I've said this a lot.

1628
01:16:49,800 --> 01:16:52,439
Speaker 1: You can say what you want about Robert Foster. Isaia McKenzie,

1629
01:16:52,520 --> 01:16:57,400
Speaker 1: Duke Williams, John Brown, even Andre Roberts, Cole Beasley. But

1630
01:16:57,520 --> 01:17:00,719
Speaker 1: the quarterback makes the receivers. It's not the the way around.

1631
01:17:01,560 --> 01:17:03,240
Speaker 1: Josh has got to throw the ball where they can

1632
01:17:03,240 --> 01:17:05,519
Speaker 1: get at it, and certainly we've seen them drop it.

1633
01:17:05,600 --> 01:17:08,160
Speaker 1: I know that, But for the most part, particularly on

1634
01:17:08,200 --> 01:17:10,400
Speaker 1: the deep balls, they have not had a chance to

1635
01:17:10,400 --> 01:17:13,240
Speaker 1: get them. With the exception of the one where everybody's

1636
01:17:13,280 --> 01:17:16,040
Speaker 1: screaming about pass interference last week, they just don't have

1637
01:17:16,080 --> 01:17:17,880
Speaker 1: a chance to catch him. I think that's you put

1638
01:17:17,920 --> 01:17:19,840
Speaker 1: that on the quarterback, not on the wide outs, not

1639
01:17:19,960 --> 01:17:24,599
Speaker 1: including the disputed pass interference call. I counted six chances

1640
01:17:24,640 --> 01:17:26,639
Speaker 1: they had to hit big plays downfield that Jess did

1641
01:17:26,680 --> 01:17:29,439
Speaker 1: not connect on. Now, was their weather involved, maybe, but

1642
01:17:29,600 --> 01:17:31,400
Speaker 1: you can't use that as an accuse. You got to

1643
01:17:31,400 --> 01:17:33,720
Speaker 1: make those plays. Brian Dable talked about it yesterday. The

1644
01:17:33,720 --> 01:17:36,719
Speaker 1: Bills offensive coordinator was asked about the chances, the shots

1645
01:17:36,720 --> 01:17:38,960
Speaker 1: that Alan took downfield and how do you start connecting

1646
01:17:38,960 --> 01:17:43,280
Speaker 1: down those Here's what Brian Dable said. We were behind

1647
01:17:43,280 --> 01:17:46,559
Speaker 1: the defense on a few plays there and just didn't connect.

1648
01:17:46,760 --> 01:17:49,200
Speaker 1: And there was other times I'd say, you know, if

1649
01:17:49,240 --> 01:17:51,400
Speaker 1: you got read one and read one's open and go

1650
01:17:51,400 --> 01:17:53,680
Speaker 1: ahead and give it to them. But you know, like

1651
01:17:53,720 --> 01:17:55,479
Speaker 1: the third play of the game, we started out, look,

1652
01:17:55,479 --> 01:17:59,599
Speaker 1: we didn't we didn't execute. I didn't do it good

1653
01:17:59,640 --> 01:18:01,519
Speaker 1: enough job with it. We had some three and outs

1654
01:18:01,560 --> 01:18:04,080
Speaker 1: early on, never gotten too a good rhythm. So that

1655
01:18:04,200 --> 01:18:06,719
Speaker 1: first third down was a long play there to smoke

1656
01:18:06,800 --> 01:18:09,280
Speaker 1: where you know, the safety came down and we had

1657
01:18:09,360 --> 01:18:12,599
Speaker 1: him just missed on it. And then the next one

1658
01:18:12,680 --> 01:18:14,759
Speaker 1: was a third and twelve or he was just reading

1659
01:18:14,760 --> 01:18:17,920
Speaker 1: it down top to bottom. Was a levels play. I

1660
01:18:18,000 --> 01:18:21,200
Speaker 1: think he settled in as the game went on. And

1661
01:18:21,280 --> 01:18:23,920
Speaker 1: again that defense is a tough defense. It's a tough

1662
01:18:23,960 --> 01:18:26,519
Speaker 1: defense to prepare for. And then when you get out

1663
01:18:26,560 --> 01:18:28,800
Speaker 1: there in live action, they do so many different things.

1664
01:18:28,880 --> 01:18:31,480
Speaker 1: They have so many different fronts, so many different pressures,

1665
01:18:31,800 --> 01:18:33,880
Speaker 1: so many did play every cover so that you can play.

1666
01:18:35,120 --> 01:18:36,880
Speaker 1: You know, give them credit. They did a really good job.

1667
01:18:37,720 --> 01:18:39,439
Speaker 1: Brian kind of all over the place, but he's right.

1668
01:18:39,560 --> 01:18:43,280
Speaker 1: First three Buffalo series right, three and out series. They

1669
01:18:43,439 --> 01:18:46,599
Speaker 1: missed overthrowing John Brown on third and four at third

1670
01:18:46,640 --> 01:18:48,880
Speaker 1: and twelve, missed a deep one to Robert Foster. In

1671
01:18:48,920 --> 01:18:51,280
Speaker 1: the next series third and ten deep left side to

1672
01:18:51,479 --> 01:18:54,200
Speaker 1: John Brown, overthrown. That's a tough way to start and

1673
01:18:53,960 --> 01:18:57,000
Speaker 1: that didn't get better. Three more misses with deep passes

1674
01:18:57,400 --> 01:18:59,600
Speaker 1: after that too. Yes, the blitz was coming, there was

1675
01:19:00,200 --> 01:19:01,559
Speaker 1: you know, he had to get rid of it quickly,

1676
01:19:01,600 --> 01:19:03,519
Speaker 1: but well, you just hit one of those steven maybe

1677
01:19:03,520 --> 01:19:05,920
Speaker 1: one of those early ones. I think that game plays

1678
01:19:05,920 --> 01:19:07,840
Speaker 1: out a little bit. I think about it. The one

1679
01:19:07,960 --> 01:19:09,920
Speaker 1: deep ball they hit was a one headed catch by

1680
01:19:10,000 --> 01:19:16,240
Speaker 1: Dawson Knox down the sideline, and you just yeah, and

1681
01:19:16,320 --> 01:19:18,639
Speaker 1: the things we're seeing on MSG now with Robert Foster

1682
01:19:18,680 --> 01:19:20,800
Speaker 1: and John Brown going down the middle of those are

1683
01:19:21,360 --> 01:19:23,800
Speaker 1: that's a lot of separation in those spots. Those guys

1684
01:19:23,800 --> 01:19:26,920
Speaker 1: are getting open deep and he's not putting it on him.

1685
01:19:27,240 --> 01:19:29,000
Speaker 1: He's not giving him a chance to get underneath it

1686
01:19:29,080 --> 01:19:31,880
Speaker 1: or run underneath it, and uh, it's a there's a

1687
01:19:31,920 --> 01:19:34,800
Speaker 1: knack to it. It's interesting to me, and it has

1688
01:19:34,840 --> 01:19:37,599
Speaker 1: been the question all season for a lot of Bills fans.

1689
01:19:37,960 --> 01:19:39,600
Speaker 1: Why were they able to do that last year and

1690
01:19:39,680 --> 01:19:43,200
Speaker 1: not this year? What happened there? H Josh is a

1691
01:19:43,640 --> 01:19:46,280
Speaker 1: he's absolutely a much better quarterback this year than he

1692
01:19:46,360 --> 01:19:49,240
Speaker 1: was last year, and yet you know he's missing that

1693
01:19:49,240 --> 01:19:51,360
Speaker 1: element that's not there yet. They have not hit on it.

1694
01:19:51,520 --> 01:19:53,559
Speaker 1: I let's say, I don't know the answer. I don't either.

1695
01:19:53,600 --> 01:19:55,479
Speaker 1: I've never seen that anything like that before, where a

1696
01:19:55,520 --> 01:19:59,160
Speaker 1: guy had it and didn't then didn't, particularly when he improved.

1697
01:19:59,439 --> 01:20:01,679
Speaker 1: You know, we talked a little bit after the four

1698
01:20:02,080 --> 01:20:05,320
Speaker 1: turnover Patriots game, how the focus was on no more turnovers,

1699
01:20:05,320 --> 01:20:08,080
Speaker 1: no more turnovers, and there was we discussed it on

1700
01:20:08,120 --> 01:20:10,559
Speaker 1: the show. Well, maybe he doesn't want to underthrow, so

1701
01:20:10,640 --> 01:20:13,880
Speaker 1: he's overthrown so it doesn't get picked all right, But

1702
01:20:13,920 --> 01:20:16,240
Speaker 1: that doesn't seem like a valid answer anymore night because

1703
01:20:16,240 --> 01:20:19,639
Speaker 1: the overthrowers continue. Um, you know, Eric would I believe

1704
01:20:19,680 --> 01:20:22,600
Speaker 1: on our show yesterday said sometimes you underthrown a little bit,

1705
01:20:22,640 --> 01:20:24,800
Speaker 1: you got a chance at a pass interference. Maybe that's

1706
01:20:24,800 --> 01:20:27,720
Speaker 1: the answer. Look, it's just I think it's just as

1707
01:20:27,760 --> 01:20:31,000
Speaker 1: the coaches would say, time on task right twenty four

1708
01:20:31,120 --> 01:20:34,439
Speaker 1: NFL starts right eleven and thirteen, twenty four NFL starts.

1709
01:20:34,880 --> 01:20:36,960
Speaker 1: He's coming along, but he needs more, and I'm prepared

1710
01:20:37,000 --> 01:20:39,920
Speaker 1: to give him the time he needs. Oh yeah, I agree.

1711
01:20:39,960 --> 01:20:45,920
Speaker 1: I you know, it's not they're not it's not not working.

1712
01:20:45,960 --> 01:20:47,720
Speaker 1: It's not working right now. But it's not because they're

1713
01:20:47,760 --> 01:20:49,719
Speaker 1: not working on it. They are, you know, they're working

1714
01:20:49,760 --> 01:20:51,840
Speaker 1: hard on it. They're continue to try and get better.

1715
01:20:52,680 --> 01:20:54,599
Speaker 1: You know, that's part of the equation. You know how

1716
01:20:54,640 --> 01:20:58,200
Speaker 1: badly they want to hit those balls, and until they do,

1717
01:20:58,400 --> 01:21:00,559
Speaker 1: they're gonna I think it's gonna affect the way defenses

1718
01:21:00,600 --> 01:21:04,479
Speaker 1: view that offense because that just that threat just isn't

1719
01:21:04,520 --> 01:21:06,439
Speaker 1: there now. Trying it does get and even if you

1720
01:21:06,439 --> 01:21:09,160
Speaker 1: don't complete, it does give you some benefit, but not

1721
01:21:09,240 --> 01:21:11,280
Speaker 1: like it does when you snap off a six point

1722
01:21:11,320 --> 01:21:13,920
Speaker 1: play from seventy five yards out. Yep, call here from

1723
01:21:13,960 --> 01:21:15,800
Speaker 1: Mike and Rochester. Mike, go ahead. You're on the air

1724
01:21:15,800 --> 01:21:18,680
Speaker 1: with this, Hey, guys, I think for having me, I

1725
01:21:18,680 --> 01:21:20,840
Speaker 1: appreciate it. Sure. Sure. One thing I want to talk

1726
01:21:20,880 --> 01:21:23,439
Speaker 1: about is it's a common team. And when Josh starts

1727
01:21:23,439 --> 01:21:26,320
Speaker 1: out the game over three old for four, that leads

1728
01:21:26,320 --> 01:21:28,599
Speaker 1: to him having not good games. And it's happened against

1729
01:21:28,600 --> 01:21:31,920
Speaker 1: the Patriots, it's happened against the Eagles, it's happening against

1730
01:21:31,920 --> 01:21:34,439
Speaker 1: the Ravens. To something very important that he starts out,

1731
01:21:34,479 --> 01:21:37,200
Speaker 1: get some completions, gets still some confidence going forward. What

1732
01:21:37,240 --> 01:21:39,680
Speaker 1: do you guys think? I agree. I think they're a

1733
01:21:39,720 --> 01:21:42,599
Speaker 1: slow starting team and even McDermot acknowledge it either Sunday

1734
01:21:42,720 --> 01:21:46,160
Speaker 1: or perhaps it was a Monday. They got to stop that, right,

1735
01:21:46,200 --> 01:21:49,000
Speaker 1: They're slow starters. Great in the fourth quarter. I'm just

1736
01:21:49,040 --> 01:21:51,400
Speaker 1: looking to point scored ninety six to fifty nine Bills.

1737
01:21:51,600 --> 01:21:54,000
Speaker 1: First quarter they get out scored forty five to forty.

1738
01:21:54,160 --> 01:21:57,559
Speaker 1: So it's thirteen games forty points. That's three points per

1739
01:21:57,600 --> 01:22:00,280
Speaker 1: game in the first quarter. That's not enough. Off to

1740
01:22:00,320 --> 01:22:02,760
Speaker 1: a better start than Yeah, you do, you do? They

1741
01:22:02,760 --> 01:22:05,639
Speaker 1: definitely do. And then on one other thing, Shack Laws

1742
01:22:07,760 --> 01:22:11,800
Speaker 1: on Sunday he did not give into Lamar Jackson and

1743
01:22:11,920 --> 01:22:15,160
Speaker 1: I let him go outside and it wasn't just him,

1744
01:22:15,200 --> 01:22:16,960
Speaker 1: but it's the comment thing with Shack Laws. He's been

1745
01:22:16,960 --> 01:22:19,000
Speaker 1: playing very good this year. It's gonna be hit very

1746
01:22:19,040 --> 01:22:21,800
Speaker 1: hard for them not to give them him a contract. Yeah.

1747
01:22:21,920 --> 01:22:24,720
Speaker 1: It's interesting too, Yeah, because I think they've got They've

1748
01:22:24,720 --> 01:22:26,280
Speaker 1: got a lot of guys in that same boad mic.

1749
01:22:26,320 --> 01:22:28,600
Speaker 1: Their their contract situation is such that they got a

1750
01:22:28,600 --> 01:22:30,439
Speaker 1: lot of money to spend and they're gonna pick White

1751
01:22:30,520 --> 01:22:33,120
Speaker 1: choose wisely. And I would think, I don't know this

1752
01:22:33,760 --> 01:22:36,280
Speaker 1: that the guys who have been here and played well

1753
01:22:36,320 --> 01:22:39,200
Speaker 1: are going to get contract offers. No question. They're also

1754
01:22:39,280 --> 01:22:40,840
Speaker 1: going to go out and look for guys around the

1755
01:22:40,880 --> 01:22:43,120
Speaker 1: league who to upgrade and try and get even better.

1756
01:22:43,680 --> 01:22:45,280
Speaker 1: They'll try and go out and get some guys who

1757
01:22:45,280 --> 01:22:48,240
Speaker 1: can be game changers if they feel like they've got

1758
01:22:48,240 --> 01:22:51,559
Speaker 1: that right DNA that we talk about. Um, they've got

1759
01:22:51,560 --> 01:22:53,120
Speaker 1: a ton of guys. And they had this for the

1760
01:22:53,120 --> 01:22:55,479
Speaker 1: first two years of Sean McDermott and Brandon m and

1761
01:22:55,520 --> 01:22:57,439
Speaker 1: Brandon Bean's ten year as well. They had a lot

1762
01:22:57,439 --> 01:23:00,240
Speaker 1: of guys on one year deals prove it deals. I

1763
01:23:00,240 --> 01:23:02,320
Speaker 1: think it's a philosophy they're gonna stick with, and I

1764
01:23:02,360 --> 01:23:08,640
Speaker 1: think players of a certain ilk respond to that. You

1765
01:23:08,680 --> 01:23:10,320
Speaker 1: give him a little more money, but it's just for

1766
01:23:10,400 --> 01:23:12,000
Speaker 1: one year and you got to go out and earn

1767
01:23:12,080 --> 01:23:14,080
Speaker 1: and I think guys like doing that once in a while.

1768
01:23:14,400 --> 01:23:16,880
Speaker 1: And I think it because then they're free agent again

1769
01:23:16,920 --> 01:23:18,639
Speaker 1: and they can say, hey, I might get a four

1770
01:23:18,720 --> 01:23:20,920
Speaker 1: year deal from somebody else with half of it guaranteed

1771
01:23:21,360 --> 01:23:24,080
Speaker 1: if they have a really breakout year. So I think

1772
01:23:24,080 --> 01:23:26,240
Speaker 1: it's a great strategy by the club that they use

1773
01:23:26,560 --> 01:23:30,479
Speaker 1: to some extent, and I think Shack Lawson might be well,

1774
01:23:30,520 --> 01:23:32,439
Speaker 1: depending on how you look at it. The beneficiary of

1775
01:23:32,479 --> 01:23:35,120
Speaker 1: it or the victim of it. They may give him

1776
01:23:35,160 --> 01:23:37,639
Speaker 1: a contract offer, maybe a three year or four year extension,

1777
01:23:37,720 --> 01:23:39,439
Speaker 1: or maybe just a one year proven deal with a

1778
01:23:39,439 --> 01:23:42,280
Speaker 1: pretty good number. All Right, we're gonna talk more about this.

1779
01:23:42,320 --> 01:23:44,200
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk a little bit about the Patriots and

1780
01:23:44,439 --> 01:23:48,120
Speaker 1: is it Spygate two. Steve has some thoughts on this.

1781
01:23:48,200 --> 01:23:50,760
Speaker 1: I listen to them all morning in the office. We're

1782
01:23:50,760 --> 01:23:52,640
Speaker 1: coming back talk about that. Come on back with us. One.

1783
01:23:52,680 --> 01:23:55,200
Speaker 1: Bill's presented by a lot of Hell from the Seneca

1784
01:23:55,240 --> 01:24:08,560
Speaker 1: Studios in Orchard Park. This is Buffalo Bills Radio and

1785
01:24:08,680 --> 01:24:11,200
Speaker 1: let's go inside the numbers with New York State Lottery.

1786
01:24:11,240 --> 01:24:14,080
Speaker 1: Take a break from the expected play scratch off games

1787
01:24:14,080 --> 01:24:16,360
Speaker 1: from the New York Lottery. So he's had a touchdown

1788
01:24:16,360 --> 01:24:19,080
Speaker 1: against the Ravens right fourth quarter. Cole Beasley Now he's

1789
01:24:19,080 --> 01:24:21,400
Speaker 1: got a touchdown in three straight games for a second

1790
01:24:21,400 --> 01:24:23,920
Speaker 1: time this season. And Beasley now it's a team high

1791
01:24:24,000 --> 01:24:26,800
Speaker 1: six touchdowns this year, a new personal season high. He

1792
01:24:26,920 --> 01:24:31,160
Speaker 1: had five with Dallas in twenty fifteen and UH twenty sixteen.

1793
01:24:31,200 --> 01:24:35,400
Speaker 1: Cole Beasley finding the end zone. He's got six touchdowns

1794
01:24:35,439 --> 01:24:38,400
Speaker 1: so far this season. Josh Allen has eight. By the way,

1795
01:24:38,520 --> 01:24:43,000
Speaker 1: did we just say it's a team high receiving, team

1796
01:24:43,040 --> 01:24:47,280
Speaker 1: high six touchdowns? Say all right, yeah, Josh got eight?

1797
01:24:47,360 --> 01:24:49,800
Speaker 1: Those count those county? They do you count? All right?

1798
01:24:49,840 --> 01:24:52,160
Speaker 1: I walk in today in the office my usual time,

1799
01:24:52,160 --> 01:24:56,200
Speaker 1: six thirty am, like every morning, and Steve here, what

1800
01:24:56,240 --> 01:24:59,280
Speaker 1: are you laughing about? Step is all? I read something funny?

1801
01:25:00,280 --> 01:25:03,360
Speaker 1: All caught up about this Patriots saying spygate two. So

1802
01:25:03,439 --> 01:25:06,880
Speaker 1: you know the deal right? According to the Patriots, they

1803
01:25:06,880 --> 01:25:09,160
Speaker 1: had an advanced scout in the press box for the

1804
01:25:09,200 --> 01:25:12,480
Speaker 1: Bengals twenty seven nineteen lost to the Browns in Cincinnati.

1805
01:25:12,720 --> 01:25:14,840
Speaker 1: They had an advanced scout there. They had a video

1806
01:25:14,880 --> 01:25:17,519
Speaker 1: crew there. They're filming a series on employees they call

1807
01:25:17,640 --> 01:25:20,439
Speaker 1: no Day's Off. I guess a Bengals team employee called

1808
01:25:21,000 --> 01:25:24,719
Speaker 1: do you do your job? A Bengals team employee spotted

1809
01:25:24,720 --> 01:25:28,160
Speaker 1: in New England's videographer filming Cincinnati's sideline for the entire

1810
01:25:28,200 --> 01:25:32,240
Speaker 1: first quarter. According to ESPN, Bengals asked about it yesterday.

1811
01:25:32,280 --> 01:25:34,479
Speaker 1: They said they're aware of it. It hearkens back to

1812
01:25:34,520 --> 01:25:37,800
Speaker 1: two thousand and seven Spygate. Belichick issued a statement today,

1813
01:25:37,840 --> 01:25:40,599
Speaker 1: we're competitive. We try to be competitive in every area,

1814
01:25:40,640 --> 01:25:43,479
Speaker 1: but we don't knowingly intentionally want to do anything that's

1815
01:25:43,520 --> 01:25:49,280
Speaker 1: across the line. Shooting the sidelines for the Bengals in

1816
01:25:49,360 --> 01:25:53,040
Speaker 1: a game a team employee, Belichick said, not a team

1817
01:25:53,040 --> 01:25:55,920
Speaker 1: football department employee, but a team employee. And how much

1818
01:25:55,920 --> 01:25:58,800
Speaker 1: you have an issue is it? Mark Maski covers league

1819
01:25:58,800 --> 01:26:01,880
Speaker 1: issues for the Washington Post. The league is going to investigate.

1820
01:26:01,920 --> 01:26:04,880
Speaker 1: They hope to move quickly in their investigation. A resolution

1821
01:26:04,960 --> 01:26:08,040
Speaker 1: possible this week one source. According to Mark Maski, one

1822
01:26:08,040 --> 01:26:10,360
Speaker 1: source says a consideration for the league is whether the

1823
01:26:10,479 --> 01:26:13,160
Speaker 1: video shows anything that could not have been seen on

1824
01:26:13,200 --> 01:26:15,759
Speaker 1: TV or on the coaches tape. I think that's important.

1825
01:26:15,800 --> 01:26:17,840
Speaker 1: I don't know what you get, Steve and this. You

1826
01:26:17,880 --> 01:26:19,880
Speaker 1: and I had a brief discussion about this morning at

1827
01:26:19,880 --> 01:26:22,840
Speaker 1: six thirty five. I don't know what you get by

1828
01:26:22,840 --> 01:26:25,679
Speaker 1: shooting the sideline. Teams aren't signaling, for the most part,

1829
01:26:25,760 --> 01:26:30,120
Speaker 1: signaling in plays. Apparently headset the Cincinnati guys who apparently

1830
01:26:30,120 --> 01:26:34,439
Speaker 1: were upset about it, okay because they lost because they stinked.

1831
01:26:34,479 --> 01:26:36,960
Speaker 1: What what are they upset about? What advantages there to

1832
01:26:37,720 --> 01:26:42,040
Speaker 1: shoot that video? It's the Bengal saying we're going to

1833
01:26:42,080 --> 01:26:44,120
Speaker 1: New England and now they're shooting our coaches on the

1834
01:26:44,160 --> 01:26:46,080
Speaker 1: sideline during the game. What are they getting? What are

1835
01:26:46,080 --> 01:26:49,040
Speaker 1: they getting from the getting additional hand signals from the

1836
01:26:49,120 --> 01:26:51,920
Speaker 1: sidelines after the play clock has run down so that

1837
01:26:52,000 --> 01:26:56,760
Speaker 1: they can do late adjustments to their defense. And if

1838
01:26:56,800 --> 01:26:59,919
Speaker 1: your video and the coaches and you correspond the signals

1839
01:27:00,080 --> 01:27:03,519
Speaker 1: with the plays, as the Patriots have done in the past,

1840
01:27:04,120 --> 01:27:07,360
Speaker 1: you get an advantage on your side. Well, tell me

1841
01:27:07,400 --> 01:27:10,080
Speaker 1: the mechanics of it. So hand signal. First of all,

1842
01:27:10,120 --> 01:27:12,120
Speaker 1: do you know do they Bengals send in hand signals

1843
01:27:12,240 --> 01:27:15,120
Speaker 1: or do they do whatever? Yeah? Are you sure that's

1844
01:27:15,120 --> 01:27:17,400
Speaker 1: what the Bengals said? When did they say that? I

1845
01:27:17,479 --> 01:27:19,080
Speaker 1: said it was it was in an article that they

1846
01:27:19,080 --> 01:27:22,040
Speaker 1: were doing. They were video. It was eight minutes of

1847
01:27:22,080 --> 01:27:28,000
Speaker 1: focused video on the Bengals sideline that showed the signals

1848
01:27:28,000 --> 01:27:30,439
Speaker 1: that were going from the sideline to the field. So

1849
01:27:31,240 --> 01:27:33,280
Speaker 1: they were showing signals from the sideline the field now,

1850
01:27:33,280 --> 01:27:34,960
Speaker 1: whether how they use them or not. And this is

1851
01:27:35,080 --> 01:27:37,120
Speaker 1: a point was made also, this is a new staff

1852
01:27:37,120 --> 01:27:40,040
Speaker 1: in Cincinnati that may do things differently than other coaches

1853
01:27:40,040 --> 01:27:42,200
Speaker 1: have done there in the past. If they're not sending

1854
01:27:42,240 --> 01:27:44,640
Speaker 1: them in over the headset, they're idiots. Newer they do

1855
01:27:45,280 --> 01:27:47,840
Speaker 1: they are send them in over the headsets. Okay, so

1856
01:27:47,920 --> 01:27:51,320
Speaker 1: what again, what are the Patriots if signals? What good

1857
01:27:51,320 --> 01:27:53,000
Speaker 1: did the signals? You know that the plays come in

1858
01:27:53,040 --> 01:27:57,639
Speaker 1: over the headset, the headset shuts down. Here's the mechanics

1859
01:27:57,640 --> 01:28:00,920
Speaker 1: part of it. Headsets down. Now, let's say the secret argument.

1860
01:28:01,040 --> 01:28:03,320
Speaker 1: They're doing hand signals to send in what the rest

1861
01:28:03,360 --> 01:28:05,679
Speaker 1: of the play or a new play? How on earth

1862
01:28:05,760 --> 01:28:09,240
Speaker 1: can the Patriots convey that message to their players in

1863
01:28:09,320 --> 01:28:12,120
Speaker 1: less than fifteen seconds. Well, here's the fane. They don't

1864
01:28:12,160 --> 01:28:14,240
Speaker 1: have to. That's not the point of it. The point

1865
01:28:14,240 --> 01:28:17,120
Speaker 1: of it is to get a handle on the adjustments

1866
01:28:17,160 --> 01:28:19,360
Speaker 1: they're trying to make against your offense so that you

1867
01:28:19,360 --> 01:28:22,599
Speaker 1: can use it later in the game. At the first quarter,

1868
01:28:22,640 --> 01:28:25,400
Speaker 1: they're doing it, and you is it safe to say

1869
01:28:25,439 --> 01:28:29,599
Speaker 1: you are suspicious of the pots? Wait? Wait, wait, wait,

1870
01:28:29,920 --> 01:28:35,680
Speaker 1: you gotta be suspicious. Come on, right, it's the exact,

1871
01:28:36,240 --> 01:28:40,519
Speaker 1: the exact same thing they did. And not only did

1872
01:28:40,520 --> 01:28:44,160
Speaker 1: they do it, they did it after the league had

1873
01:28:44,400 --> 01:28:47,559
Speaker 1: issued a memo telling them not to do it. They

1874
01:28:47,600 --> 01:28:51,120
Speaker 1: got busted, red handed doing it after they were specifically

1875
01:28:51,120 --> 01:28:54,000
Speaker 1: told not to. So you're telling me you're not even

1876
01:28:54,000 --> 01:28:57,960
Speaker 1: a little suspicious that fifteen years later this pops up

1877
01:28:57,960 --> 01:29:01,240
Speaker 1: and it's like, oh, by the way, originally suspicious and

1878
01:29:01,320 --> 01:29:03,880
Speaker 1: yes it's the Patriots and they are not to be trusted.

1879
01:29:03,920 --> 01:29:06,679
Speaker 1: I'll give you that. I just don't see, practically speaking,

1880
01:29:06,760 --> 01:29:10,280
Speaker 1: what would be gained by video, which might be on

1881
01:29:10,320 --> 01:29:13,000
Speaker 1: coach's tape, by the way, it might be on the broadcast.

1882
01:29:13,080 --> 01:29:16,280
Speaker 1: Even not on tape, it's not a coach's tape. I've

1883
01:29:16,320 --> 01:29:19,479
Speaker 1: seen that. I mean, you're not going to show the

1884
01:29:19,479 --> 01:29:23,000
Speaker 1: sidelines clear enough or at least regularly enough to get

1885
01:29:23,000 --> 01:29:25,960
Speaker 1: a handle on it. And this is this It was

1886
01:29:26,000 --> 01:29:30,080
Speaker 1: called out in a twenty fifteen article going back to Spygate,

1887
01:29:30,439 --> 01:29:37,840
Speaker 1: that there was an absolutely institutionalized process by which they

1888
01:29:37,880 --> 01:29:42,800
Speaker 1: would go videotape the signals on the sidelines, correspond them

1889
01:29:42,800 --> 01:29:47,160
Speaker 1: with a play on a spreadsheet which coaches did, what, when,

1890
01:29:48,240 --> 01:29:51,000
Speaker 1: and what The play result was not the play result,

1891
01:29:51,400 --> 01:29:55,800
Speaker 1: but the scheme that was used on that play and

1892
01:29:55,880 --> 01:29:58,600
Speaker 1: how it corresponded with the signals that went on the spreadsheet.

1893
01:29:58,800 --> 01:30:01,559
Speaker 1: They had a whole system to of doing it. That's

1894
01:30:01,600 --> 01:30:05,040
Speaker 1: what spygate was essentially. That's why they got cost that

1895
01:30:05,280 --> 01:30:07,439
Speaker 1: was to cost him a first round draft pick. Bill

1896
01:30:07,479 --> 01:30:11,519
Speaker 1: Belichick got find half a million dollars and all of that.

1897
01:30:11,520 --> 01:30:18,080
Speaker 1: That's where spygate came from. And this is smoking What

1898
01:30:18,240 --> 01:30:21,280
Speaker 1: a smoking gun? I don't think it's it's it looks

1899
01:30:21,320 --> 01:30:23,120
Speaker 1: exactly the same way. I don't know. Do you think

1900
01:30:23,160 --> 01:30:25,519
Speaker 1: the Patriots would have a would shoot video of the

1901
01:30:26,000 --> 01:30:28,720
Speaker 1: Bills game this Sunday night? I mean, is that what

1902
01:30:28,720 --> 01:30:31,880
Speaker 1: we're saying? This is a practice? They Chris exactly? Oh,

1903
01:30:32,120 --> 01:30:34,720
Speaker 1: come on? Was there a Patriots advanced scout at the

1904
01:30:34,760 --> 01:30:38,479
Speaker 1: game here this week? I don't know. They're they're allowed

1905
01:30:38,479 --> 01:30:41,040
Speaker 1: to be here, Bill say, scouts all over the league too.

1906
01:30:41,080 --> 01:30:43,320
Speaker 1: They had somebody I'm sure at Cincinnati watching this. All

1907
01:30:43,320 --> 01:30:46,439
Speaker 1: I'm saying this to. The Patriots came out with a

1908
01:30:46,479 --> 01:30:52,120
Speaker 1: statement admitting they shot inappropriate and against the rules video today.

1909
01:30:52,360 --> 01:30:55,280
Speaker 1: Last night they came out and said, the guys that

1910
01:30:55,320 --> 01:30:58,480
Speaker 1: were shooting the game that we sent there as employees

1911
01:30:58,680 --> 01:31:02,639
Speaker 1: of the Patriots, shot video that was against the rules

1912
01:31:02,840 --> 01:31:05,440
Speaker 1: because they weren't aware of the rule, and the Patriots

1913
01:31:05,439 --> 01:31:08,320
Speaker 1: were don't knowingly intentionally want to do anything that's across

1914
01:31:08,360 --> 01:31:11,799
Speaker 1: the line. Whatever. I just don't want to be paranoid

1915
01:31:11,840 --> 01:31:13,680
Speaker 1: about it. Look, I know the Patriots have cheated in

1916
01:31:13,760 --> 01:31:16,280
Speaker 1: the past, maybe they cheat with cheating in the future.

1917
01:31:16,400 --> 01:31:19,280
Speaker 1: This to me seems almost insignificant. They've won three out

1918
01:31:19,320 --> 01:31:21,559
Speaker 1: of the last four Super Bowls. Yeah, this to me

1919
01:31:21,640 --> 01:31:25,120
Speaker 1: seems almost insignificant. It really does. That's it's I don't

1920
01:31:25,120 --> 01:31:30,160
Speaker 1: know what you're getting out. It's supposed to, right, It's

1921
01:31:30,200 --> 01:31:32,439
Speaker 1: supposed to That's what I'm saying. Well, it's just a

1922
01:31:32,520 --> 01:31:35,519
Speaker 1: guy and we're doing this team you know, every team,

1923
01:31:35,520 --> 01:31:37,040
Speaker 1: and like I mean, we're sitting here and there in

1924
01:31:37,040 --> 01:31:40,000
Speaker 1: the building, we're doing a program here like one Bill's Live.

1925
01:31:40,400 --> 01:31:43,160
Speaker 1: You know, we'll send we send shooters to practice. You know.

1926
01:31:43,200 --> 01:31:46,360
Speaker 1: It's and you know, let me just tell you the

1927
01:31:46,400 --> 01:31:48,080
Speaker 1: people who watch our show the most when we do

1928
01:31:48,120 --> 01:31:56,080
Speaker 1: those practice hits live in Live in Jersey, Foxborough, maybe

1929
01:31:57,000 --> 01:31:59,960
Speaker 1: in Miami. Huh. That's different than than what we're talking about.

1930
01:32:00,200 --> 01:32:02,520
Speaker 1: This is different than what we're talking about, the same idea,

1931
01:32:02,640 --> 01:32:06,880
Speaker 1: but the difference is that that's legal. Yeah, we're talking

1932
01:32:07,280 --> 01:32:09,960
Speaker 1: plays out. The league's investigating pat and say it's too

1933
01:32:09,960 --> 01:32:11,439
Speaker 1: hard to you. You know, what are you gonna do?

1934
01:32:11,520 --> 01:32:15,800
Speaker 1: Bring those bring those guys in. Yeah, the league probably will.

1935
01:32:15,880 --> 01:32:18,000
Speaker 1: What were you shooting? What do you how many games

1936
01:32:18,040 --> 01:32:19,960
Speaker 1: have you done this? It's just the first time they're

1937
01:32:19,960 --> 01:32:23,120
Speaker 1: doing a feature on an advanced scout at that game.

1938
01:32:23,240 --> 01:32:25,400
Speaker 1: Do you think they make up a feature every game

1939
01:32:25,439 --> 01:32:27,679
Speaker 1: to send a crew to shoot the sidelines. I doubt

1940
01:32:27,720 --> 01:32:32,800
Speaker 1: it'll come on. I don't know. I'll tell you what though,

1941
01:32:32,840 --> 01:32:35,519
Speaker 1: would you not check that out? If the league? I

1942
01:32:35,560 --> 01:32:37,880
Speaker 1: would ask that question, why the last time? You know? Why?

1943
01:32:38,040 --> 01:32:41,080
Speaker 1: Because you're suspicious? That's why I think it looks fishy.

1944
01:32:41,240 --> 01:32:43,080
Speaker 1: I think it's kind of a media issue. I don't

1945
01:32:43,080 --> 01:32:45,280
Speaker 1: think it might be. But you know what, man, oh man,

1946
01:32:45,320 --> 01:32:50,080
Speaker 1: it looks bad. It looks horrible. I think it's a borderline.

1947
01:32:50,720 --> 01:32:52,720
Speaker 1: What's the first thing you would do? If you're the commissioner?

1948
01:32:53,000 --> 01:32:54,840
Speaker 1: What do you do? Because you mean, I gotta look

1949
01:32:54,880 --> 01:32:56,559
Speaker 1: into this, that would be my react. And how do

1950
01:32:56,600 --> 01:32:58,639
Speaker 1: you do? How do the first first start asking questions?

1951
01:32:58,640 --> 01:33:00,200
Speaker 1: What did you shoot? How many games have you done this?

1952
01:33:00,400 --> 01:33:02,519
Speaker 1: Have you done this before? How many times does this

1953
01:33:02,560 --> 01:33:05,200
Speaker 1: crew or any of your video cruise not connected with

1954
01:33:05,240 --> 01:33:08,200
Speaker 1: the football department bent on the road in other stadiums

1955
01:33:08,200 --> 01:33:10,519
Speaker 1: that games not involving the Patriots, that would be the question.

1956
01:33:10,560 --> 01:33:12,400
Speaker 1: And when they says a regular practice? And then when

1957
01:33:12,400 --> 01:33:14,519
Speaker 1: they give you that answer, you cross wherever you call it.

1958
01:33:14,640 --> 01:33:16,640
Speaker 1: Now you're gonna call, You're gonna call. Let me just

1959
01:33:16,640 --> 01:33:18,040
Speaker 1: see here, I'll tell you who you call. You're gonna

1960
01:33:18,040 --> 01:33:20,320
Speaker 1: call them the press boxes and the media. Lets call.

1961
01:33:20,439 --> 01:33:23,040
Speaker 1: You're gonna call the Cowboys, the Texans, and the Eagles

1962
01:33:23,040 --> 01:33:25,080
Speaker 1: and the Ravens, all those teams in their past that

1963
01:33:25,160 --> 01:33:27,600
Speaker 1: they've they've played, and say, hey, did they have a

1964
01:33:27,600 --> 01:33:30,080
Speaker 1: guy they're shooting for a program called do your Job

1965
01:33:31,000 --> 01:33:33,639
Speaker 1: with an Advanced Scout? And if all of them say, yeah,

1966
01:33:33,680 --> 01:33:36,599
Speaker 1: they were here for an advanced scout shooting that every game,

1967
01:33:36,680 --> 01:33:38,920
Speaker 1: not just one time. Every game they got the same

1968
01:33:38,960 --> 01:33:41,519
Speaker 1: crew going to shoot that. They're not being a team

1969
01:33:41,560 --> 01:33:43,760
Speaker 1: that goes on the road to shoot scouts doing their work.

1970
01:33:43,800 --> 01:33:46,600
Speaker 1: By the way, you know that that's done. They do

1971
01:33:46,640 --> 01:33:49,000
Speaker 1: it every week. They don't do it every week. I

1972
01:33:49,040 --> 01:33:52,120
Speaker 1: guarantee you they're doing your job. Feature is not about

1973
01:33:52,160 --> 01:33:55,320
Speaker 1: an advanced scout every week? About one hundred dollars right here? Exactly?

1974
01:33:55,640 --> 01:33:57,680
Speaker 1: What do you mean exactly? Then your theory is My

1975
01:33:57,920 --> 01:33:59,519
Speaker 1: point is My point is if you go on the

1976
01:33:59,600 --> 01:34:03,320
Speaker 1: road and they say, and they what happens if they

1977
01:34:03,360 --> 01:34:05,360
Speaker 1: give the same story to the Eagles and the Cowboys

1978
01:34:05,360 --> 01:34:08,360
Speaker 1: and the Browns and the Texans, and they all say, yeah,

1979
01:34:08,360 --> 01:34:10,680
Speaker 1: they were shooting that same feature here that week, two

1980
01:34:10,720 --> 01:34:12,400
Speaker 1: weeks before we think it comes out. Then we got

1981
01:34:12,439 --> 01:34:14,360
Speaker 1: a different story. I guarantee you that's not the case.

1982
01:34:14,439 --> 01:34:16,599
Speaker 1: You gotta check it out, though, don't you. Well, now

1983
01:34:16,640 --> 01:34:20,200
Speaker 1: you do, because media people like you think there's a conspiracy.

1984
01:34:20,360 --> 01:34:23,839
Speaker 1: I'm just a guy. Just seems it seems painfully obvious

1985
01:34:23,880 --> 01:34:25,599
Speaker 1: to me that that's kind of the where you should

1986
01:34:25,600 --> 01:34:28,040
Speaker 1: go with this. Go ahead and go with it. How

1987
01:34:28,080 --> 01:34:30,680
Speaker 1: about fixing what's really wrong with the game? All right,

1988
01:34:30,680 --> 01:34:35,040
Speaker 1: Well we come Marcelarishaque covers the Bills for ESPN, and

1989
01:34:35,080 --> 01:34:36,920
Speaker 1: he's gonna join us when we come back. Come on

1990
01:34:37,000 --> 01:34:39,160
Speaker 1: back with us. One Bill's Live, presented by Kalida Health,

1991
01:34:39,200 --> 01:34:41,760
Speaker 1: coming here from the Seneca Studio in Orchard Park on

1992
01:34:41,840 --> 01:34:59,439
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills Radio. Hello Hills Radio Network. Story Back to

1993
01:34:59,479 --> 01:35:01,880
Speaker 1: Sunday Night Football for the Bills this week. The game

1994
01:35:01,920 --> 01:35:04,280
Speaker 1: plan being put together today by the coaching Sam Bills

1995
01:35:04,280 --> 01:35:06,840
Speaker 1: for turn four practice tomorrow. Bills have not played on

1996
01:35:06,880 --> 01:35:09,960
Speaker 1: Sunday Night football since a home game in two thousand

1997
01:35:09,960 --> 01:35:12,400
Speaker 1: and seven against New England. They lost that game fifty

1998
01:35:12,439 --> 01:35:14,960
Speaker 1: six to ten. They played twenty Sunday night games in

1999
01:35:15,000 --> 01:35:17,680
Speaker 1: franchise history. They've won ten, they've lost ten. They're up

2000
01:35:17,720 --> 01:35:20,040
Speaker 1: against the Steelers this Sunday. The Steelers have been without

2001
01:35:20,400 --> 01:35:23,320
Speaker 1: wide receiver Juju Smith Schuster and running back James Conner

2002
01:35:23,360 --> 01:35:24,759
Speaker 1: for the last three in a row, but they're finding

2003
01:35:24,760 --> 01:35:26,720
Speaker 1: a way to do it. Steelers with a twenty three

2004
01:35:26,760 --> 01:35:29,360
Speaker 1: to seventeen win in Arizona last Sunday, and they got

2005
01:35:29,360 --> 01:35:32,920
Speaker 1: a big game from wide receiver Deonte Johnson ran back

2006
01:35:33,000 --> 01:35:35,320
Speaker 1: upon eighty five yards on the first quarter and he

2007
01:35:35,400 --> 01:35:38,559
Speaker 1: caught six passes for sixty yards and two scores in

2008
01:35:38,640 --> 01:35:41,719
Speaker 1: then win against the Arizona Cardinals last week, those last

2009
01:35:41,720 --> 01:35:44,439
Speaker 1: opponents of Baltimore Ravens quarterback is in a little bit

2010
01:35:44,439 --> 01:35:46,840
Speaker 1: of trouble. He was limited in Monday's practice yesterday with

2011
01:35:46,880 --> 01:35:50,080
Speaker 1: a quad injury. The front runner for the MVP leads

2012
01:35:50,080 --> 01:35:52,679
Speaker 1: a league with twenty eight touchdown passes and a thousand

2013
01:35:52,800 --> 01:35:55,439
Speaker 1: yards rushing. He came up with a hit and the

2014
01:35:55,560 --> 01:35:58,040
Speaker 1: quad muscle around the knee. According to John Harball, the

2015
01:35:58,240 --> 01:36:01,120
Speaker 1: Ravens got to play third tonight against the Baltimore can

2016
01:36:01,120 --> 01:36:04,120
Speaker 1: clinch at second straight AFC North title with a victory.

2017
01:36:04,160 --> 01:36:07,840
Speaker 1: On Thursday night, Washington Redskins running back Darius Jo suffered

2018
01:36:07,840 --> 01:36:10,559
Speaker 1: a sprained left MCL and Sunday's lost to the Packers.

2019
01:36:11,160 --> 01:36:14,679
Speaker 1: The Packers Juice says it was a chief shot by Packers'

2020
01:36:14,680 --> 01:36:17,880
Speaker 1: safety Darnell Savage. He's been ruled out of Sunday's game

2021
01:36:17,880 --> 01:36:20,040
Speaker 1: against Philadelphia and Juice may not play the rest of

2022
01:36:20,080 --> 01:36:23,519
Speaker 1: the season. Mike Evans, wide receiver Tampa Bay, his season

2023
01:36:23,600 --> 01:36:25,599
Speaker 1: is over. Pulled a hamstring and the Bucks win over

2024
01:36:25,640 --> 01:36:29,559
Speaker 1: Indianapolis on Sunday. He attempted to walk after after the injury,

2025
01:36:29,600 --> 01:36:32,120
Speaker 1: but collapsed in pain and his season might be over

2026
01:36:32,200 --> 01:36:35,320
Speaker 1: as well. Savers Hockey continues tonight, Sabers back home to

2027
01:36:35,320 --> 01:36:38,200
Speaker 1: play the Saint Louis Blues, based off at seven thirty tonight.

2028
01:36:38,280 --> 01:36:40,960
Speaker 1: Jack Chole as the NHL's third Star of the Week.

2029
01:36:41,240 --> 01:36:43,880
Speaker 1: Four games last week, seven points kept his league leading

2030
01:36:44,479 --> 01:36:47,439
Speaker 1: thirteen game point streak alive. Sabers Saint Louis tonight at

2031
01:36:47,439 --> 01:36:50,320
Speaker 1: seven thirty, and the NHL Dallas Stars fired head coach

2032
01:36:50,400 --> 01:36:54,000
Speaker 1: Jim Montgomery today due to unprofessional conduct. The team would

2033
01:36:54,000 --> 01:36:56,800
Speaker 1: not elaborate on that, and here we go our three

2034
01:36:56,840 --> 01:36:59,040
Speaker 1: of the show, John Murphy Seve Tasker in the Seneca

2035
01:36:59,040 --> 01:37:01,679
Speaker 1: Studio in Archard Park talking about the Bills, talking about

2036
01:37:01,720 --> 01:37:03,840
Speaker 1: the NFL. Who better to talk about it with than

2037
01:37:03,880 --> 01:37:07,360
Speaker 1: our next guest, NFL Nation Bills reporter for ESPN covers

2038
01:37:07,360 --> 01:37:10,040
Speaker 1: the Bills for ESPN Marcella Louis Jacques on the line

2039
01:37:10,040 --> 01:37:13,000
Speaker 1: with us. Marcelle, thanks coming on. We appreciate it. I

2040
01:37:13,240 --> 01:37:15,360
Speaker 1: always you know, I love coming on with you guys.

2041
01:37:15,479 --> 01:37:17,360
Speaker 1: We missed you, man, it's been a while. Yeah, it's

2042
01:37:17,360 --> 01:37:18,680
Speaker 1: been a while. I don't know, we just kind of

2043
01:37:18,680 --> 01:37:21,599
Speaker 1: lose track. Hey, you had some amazing stats about Josh

2044
01:37:21,600 --> 01:37:24,600
Speaker 1: Allen against the Blitz. Obviously, the Baltimore Blitz was the

2045
01:37:24,880 --> 01:37:27,679
Speaker 1: story in Sunday's game, and you came up with numbers.

2046
01:37:27,680 --> 01:37:30,040
Speaker 1: I guess ESPN a cup of numbers the show just

2047
01:37:30,120 --> 01:37:33,800
Speaker 1: how difficult a day it was for Josh Allen. Huh, Yeah,

2048
01:37:33,840 --> 01:37:37,280
Speaker 1: it did. And they're they're kind of concerning considering the

2049
01:37:37,280 --> 01:37:39,920
Speaker 1: type of defenses that Buffalo is about to play over

2050
01:37:39,960 --> 01:37:42,320
Speaker 1: the next couple of weeks. You see that over eleven

2051
01:37:42,360 --> 01:37:44,880
Speaker 1: outside of the pocket for a quarterback that likes to

2052
01:37:44,920 --> 01:37:47,880
Speaker 1: scramble as much as Josh Allen does. No defense is

2053
01:37:47,920 --> 01:37:50,160
Speaker 1: going to respect the threat that you can still throw

2054
01:37:50,160 --> 01:37:52,160
Speaker 1: the ball once you leave the pocket. If you're going

2055
01:37:52,200 --> 01:37:54,400
Speaker 1: to put up numbers like that and one for sixteen

2056
01:37:54,479 --> 01:37:57,000
Speaker 1: under the rest blitz thirty times, I mean when you're

2057
01:37:57,280 --> 01:37:59,800
Speaker 1: you got the Steelers and the Patriots coming up there,

2058
01:38:00,040 --> 01:38:03,479
Speaker 1: both top of the league in terms of sacks and

2059
01:38:03,600 --> 01:38:07,960
Speaker 1: in terms of takeaways. So you you'd liked Josh Allen

2060
01:38:08,000 --> 01:38:11,679
Speaker 1: to be able to play more under control and complete

2061
01:38:11,680 --> 01:38:14,479
Speaker 1: some of these passes and make these defenses pay for

2062
01:38:14,600 --> 01:38:17,120
Speaker 1: being overly aggressive. What do you expect the Bills to

2063
01:38:17,200 --> 01:38:21,799
Speaker 1: do to help Alan get through this this these problems

2064
01:38:21,800 --> 01:38:23,639
Speaker 1: with the pressure, What do you expect that to happen?

2065
01:38:23,760 --> 01:38:27,320
Speaker 1: With the changes the Bill's offense to make. I would

2066
01:38:27,320 --> 01:38:30,120
Speaker 1: assume that they still lean on continue to lean on

2067
01:38:30,160 --> 01:38:33,439
Speaker 1: the run game. Devin Singletary was excellent last week. He's

2068
01:38:33,479 --> 01:38:36,200
Speaker 1: been excellent the past two weeks, honestly, and you're seeing

2069
01:38:36,240 --> 01:38:38,840
Speaker 1: him get more and more involved in the passing game

2070
01:38:38,920 --> 01:38:42,280
Speaker 1: as well. I believe it was he caught six of

2071
01:38:42,360 --> 01:38:46,200
Speaker 1: eight targets on Sunday, and that's over the past If

2072
01:38:46,200 --> 01:38:49,880
Speaker 1: you look at their at their numbers dating back to

2073
01:38:50,320 --> 01:38:53,679
Speaker 1: the first Miami game. He's one of the more targeted

2074
01:38:53,720 --> 01:38:57,360
Speaker 1: running backs in the NFL right now, so it's I'd

2075
01:38:57,400 --> 01:39:00,240
Speaker 1: expect him to continue using that, continue to use whole

2076
01:39:00,280 --> 01:39:04,559
Speaker 1: Beasley in those short, quick routes, and then ultimately it

2077
01:39:04,640 --> 01:39:06,360
Speaker 1: kind of just comes down to Josh. He's got to

2078
01:39:06,400 --> 01:39:09,839
Speaker 1: be able to hit those deep balls because they were there. Obviously,

2079
01:39:10,000 --> 01:39:13,839
Speaker 1: Brian Dable is taken a lot of the criticism online again,

2080
01:39:14,240 --> 01:39:16,519
Speaker 1: but I don't think he was the problem here. I

2081
01:39:16,560 --> 01:39:19,040
Speaker 1: didn't see a problem with those play calls. You saw

2082
01:39:19,080 --> 01:39:21,960
Speaker 1: on the opening drive that passes John Brown that was six.

2083
01:39:22,000 --> 01:39:25,360
Speaker 1: If they connect another one to Robert Foster, that would

2084
01:39:25,360 --> 01:39:28,240
Speaker 1: have moved the chains. Dawson Knox would have moved the chains.

2085
01:39:28,400 --> 01:39:31,000
Speaker 1: And he's just gotta he's got to be able to

2086
01:39:31,000 --> 01:39:32,960
Speaker 1: at least connect on one or two of those. You know,

2087
01:39:33,080 --> 01:39:35,840
Speaker 1: it's a it's a low it's a high risk type

2088
01:39:35,880 --> 01:39:39,360
Speaker 1: of pass. It's a it's a low completion percentage, low expectation,

2089
01:39:39,840 --> 01:39:43,400
Speaker 1: but it's not a no expectation. You know, you gotta

2090
01:39:43,400 --> 01:39:45,760
Speaker 1: at least hit one or two. So you know, I'd

2091
01:39:45,800 --> 01:39:48,240
Speaker 1: expect more of the same. It was just execution makes

2092
01:39:48,240 --> 01:39:50,160
Speaker 1: play call look a lot worse. Yeah, and so we

2093
01:39:50,160 --> 01:39:51,760
Speaker 1: were saying on this show, at least I was saying,

2094
01:39:52,000 --> 01:39:54,080
Speaker 1: if they connect on one of those early deep throws

2095
01:39:54,120 --> 01:39:57,280
Speaker 1: to John Brown or to Robert Foster or whomever, maybe

2096
01:39:57,280 --> 01:39:59,840
Speaker 1: the Ravens zone blitz two out of every three pass

2097
01:40:00,040 --> 01:40:01,439
Speaker 1: drop backs, you know what I mean, maybe they'd be

2098
01:40:01,439 --> 01:40:04,080
Speaker 1: a little more reluctant to send everybody and have zero

2099
01:40:04,120 --> 01:40:07,080
Speaker 1: coverage on the back end. Yeah, you know, and all

2100
01:40:07,080 --> 01:40:09,640
Speaker 1: out blitz and cover zero like that. That is a

2101
01:40:09,960 --> 01:40:13,160
Speaker 1: we're doing this until you can prove otherwise. We're doing

2102
01:40:13,160 --> 01:40:14,920
Speaker 1: this until you can make us pay. And if you're

2103
01:40:14,960 --> 01:40:17,080
Speaker 1: not gonna make them pay, they're gonna keep They're gonna

2104
01:40:17,120 --> 01:40:18,880
Speaker 1: keep doing it. It's like a child, you know. They're

2105
01:40:18,880 --> 01:40:21,360
Speaker 1: gonna keep doing what they can get away with. And

2106
01:40:21,360 --> 01:40:23,400
Speaker 1: if the Bills let teams get away with those all

2107
01:40:23,439 --> 01:40:26,720
Speaker 1: out blitzes, they're gonna keep seeing them and come playoff time,

2108
01:40:26,800 --> 01:40:29,920
Speaker 1: that's not a winning formula. Is this offense good enough

2109
01:40:29,920 --> 01:40:32,120
Speaker 1: to help the Bills get in make a run in

2110
01:40:32,160 --> 01:40:34,439
Speaker 1: the playoffs? Is it going to be a detriment? Have

2111
01:40:34,520 --> 01:40:37,640
Speaker 1: they shown enough? Have they shown another They've shown flashes?

2112
01:40:37,920 --> 01:40:40,760
Speaker 1: Are they good just inconsistent or what do you make

2113
01:40:40,800 --> 01:40:42,120
Speaker 1: of them? And how are they going to affect this

2114
01:40:42,240 --> 01:40:45,680
Speaker 1: up team's ability to go to a championship. Shoot If

2115
01:40:45,720 --> 01:40:48,759
Speaker 1: they played like they did the previous three weeks against Miami,

2116
01:40:48,840 --> 01:40:52,200
Speaker 1: Denver and Dallas, then the sky is the limit for

2117
01:40:52,240 --> 01:40:55,000
Speaker 1: this team. If we saw that kind of offense yesterday

2118
01:40:55,080 --> 01:40:57,760
Speaker 1: or on Sunday, with that kind of defensive effort, there's

2119
01:40:57,800 --> 01:40:59,320
Speaker 1: not a lot of teams that can match up with

2120
01:40:59,360 --> 01:41:02,439
Speaker 1: that in the league. Obviously, we're not expecting four hundred

2121
01:41:02,520 --> 01:41:04,639
Speaker 1: yards per game out of this offense like they were

2122
01:41:04,720 --> 01:41:08,960
Speaker 1: averaging from weeks eleven to thirteen, but they've shown the

2123
01:41:09,040 --> 01:41:12,920
Speaker 1: capability of being an explosive and on dynamic offense, So

2124
01:41:13,080 --> 01:41:15,479
Speaker 1: that needs to come back out. And if that comes

2125
01:41:15,520 --> 01:41:18,680
Speaker 1: back out during playoff time, then I don't think anybody

2126
01:41:18,720 --> 01:41:21,920
Speaker 1: wants to welcome the Buffalo Bills to their city. And

2127
01:41:22,320 --> 01:41:26,160
Speaker 1: how it's looking right now, they're probably traveling to the

2128
01:41:26,200 --> 01:41:30,519
Speaker 1: AFC South champion if you know, a miracle doesn't happen

2129
01:41:30,560 --> 01:41:37,840
Speaker 1: and New England doesn't lose to Cincinnati and Miami, and

2130
01:41:37,920 --> 01:41:41,679
Speaker 1: I would take Buffalo over Indianapolis. I'd take them over Houston,

2131
01:41:42,320 --> 01:41:44,640
Speaker 1: and we'll see against Tennessee they're going to need a

2132
01:41:44,680 --> 01:41:46,760
Speaker 1: little more offense than they had last time around, but

2133
01:41:46,840 --> 01:41:49,800
Speaker 1: they did beat them once before. They can probably do

2134
01:41:49,840 --> 01:41:52,320
Speaker 1: it again. This is just with a defense like that

2135
01:41:52,320 --> 01:41:55,400
Speaker 1: that wins championships. But you're never going to know just

2136
01:41:55,439 --> 01:41:57,280
Speaker 1: how good this defense can be and what kind of

2137
01:41:57,280 --> 01:42:00,320
Speaker 1: performance ins it can really put up if they don't

2138
01:42:00,320 --> 01:42:02,400
Speaker 1: have a lead to play with, if they're not getting

2139
01:42:03,000 --> 01:42:05,120
Speaker 1: support on the other side of the ball. Marcel, you're

2140
01:42:05,120 --> 01:42:06,840
Speaker 1: doing what Steve would not let me do on the

2141
01:42:06,840 --> 01:42:09,519
Speaker 1: show today, and that's a project about the possible playoff

2142
01:42:09,520 --> 01:42:12,080
Speaker 1: opponents that the Bills might have. Steve said this too early.

2143
01:42:12,120 --> 01:42:14,439
Speaker 1: They got a clinch first. All right, I'm gonna wait.

2144
01:42:14,680 --> 01:42:16,760
Speaker 1: I will wait another question for you about the buff

2145
01:42:16,840 --> 01:42:19,519
Speaker 1: I'm gonna wait, Steve, question for you, Marcella. We're with

2146
01:42:19,560 --> 01:42:22,000
Speaker 1: Marcella Luis jacqu of ESPN. Question for you about the

2147
01:42:22,040 --> 01:42:24,240
Speaker 1: Bills offense though, And you mentioned that the touches for

2148
01:42:24,320 --> 01:42:29,080
Speaker 1: Devin Singletary six catches. What the twenty seven carries twenty

2149
01:42:29,080 --> 01:42:32,120
Speaker 1: three carries the other day. I'll look it up, but

2150
01:42:32,160 --> 01:42:35,160
Speaker 1: they're not getting seventeen carries a right, so twenty three touches.

2151
01:42:35,160 --> 01:42:37,639
Speaker 1: What I meant to say, is there more to come

2152
01:42:37,640 --> 01:42:40,080
Speaker 1: from the Buffalo run game, and in particular, can it

2153
01:42:40,160 --> 01:42:42,679
Speaker 1: come from t. J. Yeldon or somebody besides Frank Gore.

2154
01:42:42,720 --> 01:42:47,320
Speaker 1: What do you think We haven't obviously haven't seen much

2155
01:42:47,320 --> 01:42:49,840
Speaker 1: a TJ. Yelden, And what we did see in the preseason,

2156
01:42:50,479 --> 01:42:52,760
Speaker 1: he was pretty loose with the ball. Yeah, he was

2157
01:42:52,800 --> 01:42:56,120
Speaker 1: effective in the games that without without Devin Singletary, but

2158
01:42:56,280 --> 01:42:59,680
Speaker 1: as a pass catcher, not necessarily as a runner. I

2159
01:42:59,800 --> 01:43:02,599
Speaker 1: think you can just force feed Devin Singletary. I think

2160
01:43:02,640 --> 01:43:05,800
Speaker 1: he's that good. You know, early in the season, you

2161
01:43:05,840 --> 01:43:07,960
Speaker 1: were we all thought, you know, there's no way that

2162
01:43:08,040 --> 01:43:11,479
Speaker 1: the six seven eight yard per carry average actually lasts

2163
01:43:11,600 --> 01:43:13,840
Speaker 1: throughout the course of the season. But the fact that

2164
01:43:13,840 --> 01:43:16,320
Speaker 1: he can still get he's still averaging. I think it's

2165
01:43:16,360 --> 01:43:18,800
Speaker 1: five and a half per carry somewhere in that ballpark.

2166
01:43:19,800 --> 01:43:21,960
Speaker 1: Feed the kid the ball. He's got fresh legs. He's

2167
01:43:22,000 --> 01:43:24,320
Speaker 1: got fresh enough legs, just first year in the NFL.

2168
01:43:25,080 --> 01:43:28,000
Speaker 1: He is your most dynamic weapon. Ride him until the

2169
01:43:28,000 --> 01:43:30,479
Speaker 1: wheels fall off. I'd say, you know, this is a

2170
01:43:30,520 --> 01:43:34,240
Speaker 1: winnable year in the AFC. Years like this don't come

2171
01:43:34,280 --> 01:43:37,599
Speaker 1: around that often, so I think he's probably he's still

2172
01:43:37,640 --> 01:43:41,240
Speaker 1: their best bet in this run game, and Frank Gore

2173
01:43:41,320 --> 01:43:43,919
Speaker 1: is still a veteran that you trust with the football.

2174
01:43:44,000 --> 01:43:47,120
Speaker 1: He might not be breaking off the forty fifty yard runs,

2175
01:43:47,120 --> 01:43:49,400
Speaker 1: but it's hard to you know, you got to kind

2176
01:43:49,400 --> 01:43:51,760
Speaker 1: of manage expectations if he's only going to get four

2177
01:43:51,880 --> 01:43:53,800
Speaker 1: or five carries a game. It's hard to get into

2178
01:43:53,880 --> 01:43:56,439
Speaker 1: a rhythm when you're getting four to five carries a game.

2179
01:43:56,680 --> 01:43:58,640
Speaker 1: I think he's still an effective runner if he were

2180
01:43:58,680 --> 01:44:01,960
Speaker 1: to get his spots right now. Devin Singletary's just the

2181
01:44:02,000 --> 01:44:05,000
Speaker 1: more effective. They're right five point six yards per carry's

2182
01:44:05,479 --> 01:44:08,680
Speaker 1: and with him in a running game. How you look

2183
01:44:08,720 --> 01:44:10,640
Speaker 1: at the defense, you think, how good could this team be?

2184
01:44:10,680 --> 01:44:12,720
Speaker 1: And you always look at the offense if they played better,

2185
01:44:12,880 --> 01:44:14,680
Speaker 1: be a better team, you know, But this defense, how

2186
01:44:14,680 --> 01:44:17,519
Speaker 1: good can this defense be? For this franchise is a

2187
01:44:17,560 --> 01:44:20,400
Speaker 1: super Bowl caliber defense. Look around the league at the

2188
01:44:20,439 --> 01:44:24,560
Speaker 1: top defenses. They seem to be right there, at least statistically,

2189
01:44:26,560 --> 01:44:28,519
Speaker 1: I think they're right up there. The only thing that

2190
01:44:28,560 --> 01:44:34,640
Speaker 1: they don't do that San Francisco and that New England does.

2191
01:44:35,680 --> 01:44:38,800
Speaker 1: They don't bring the quarterback down at an elite level.

2192
01:44:38,960 --> 01:44:41,880
Speaker 1: And I think that their strength lies in a different

2193
01:44:41,920 --> 01:44:44,519
Speaker 1: area of the field than both of those teams. San

2194
01:44:44,520 --> 01:44:50,240
Speaker 1: Francisco's got a I mean, though you can't even name

2195
01:44:50,320 --> 01:44:53,120
Speaker 1: the world to compliment them enough, to compliment that front

2196
01:44:53,160 --> 01:44:55,559
Speaker 1: seven enough. Just chock full of first round picks, chock

2197
01:44:55,600 --> 01:44:57,679
Speaker 1: full of blue chip guys that are starting to pan out.

2198
01:44:58,760 --> 01:45:01,400
Speaker 1: Pass rushing is their strength. The same goes with New England,

2199
01:45:01,479 --> 01:45:04,360
Speaker 1: although they're a little more balanced. But Buffalo strength lies

2200
01:45:04,400 --> 01:45:07,639
Speaker 1: in that secondary with Micah Hyde, with Jordan Poytrdavious White.

2201
01:45:07,680 --> 01:45:09,920
Speaker 1: So all these front seven really has to do is

2202
01:45:09,960 --> 01:45:12,640
Speaker 1: harassed the quarterback enough to make a quick decision, and

2203
01:45:12,960 --> 01:45:15,280
Speaker 1: these backs should be able to do the rest or

2204
01:45:15,600 --> 01:45:19,280
Speaker 1: tighten up those windows. But you know they're they're right

2205
01:45:19,360 --> 01:45:21,559
Speaker 1: up there. Anytime you can hold a team like Baltimore

2206
01:45:21,560 --> 01:45:24,200
Speaker 1: to two hundred and twenty five yards and twenty four points,

2207
01:45:24,600 --> 01:45:27,240
Speaker 1: and honestly, it could have been even better than that

2208
01:45:27,320 --> 01:45:30,280
Speaker 1: were it not for the short field Buffalo or Baltimore

2209
01:45:30,840 --> 01:45:33,920
Speaker 1: scored their first touchdown on. So I think they are

2210
01:45:33,960 --> 01:45:37,120
Speaker 1: I think they're elite. I think their playoff caliber, I

2211
01:45:37,160 --> 01:45:40,320
Speaker 1: think they probably are super Bowl caliber. We're just not

2212
01:45:40,400 --> 01:45:42,880
Speaker 1: gonna know if they can get that far, if their

2213
01:45:43,360 --> 01:45:47,080
Speaker 1: their offensive partners, if their offensive brothers can't you know,

2214
01:45:47,160 --> 01:45:49,760
Speaker 1: pull their own weight there, Marcel. They're a good pass

2215
01:45:49,840 --> 01:45:51,919
Speaker 1: rush team. The Bills are and I think maybe underrated

2216
01:45:51,960 --> 01:45:54,360
Speaker 1: how they're top ten in sacks now. They have been

2217
01:45:54,400 --> 01:45:56,400
Speaker 1: for the last month or so. I don't think people

2218
01:45:56,479 --> 01:45:58,599
Speaker 1: know that. Yeah, there's not one big zat guy here.

2219
01:45:58,640 --> 01:46:00,920
Speaker 1: There's a lot of people put pressure on the passer,

2220
01:46:01,000 --> 01:46:04,600
Speaker 1: including guys who aren't even starters right now. Yeah. No,

2221
01:46:04,680 --> 01:46:07,280
Speaker 1: they do a good job of harassing the quarterback. They're

2222
01:46:07,280 --> 01:46:11,000
Speaker 1: just they're not quite on that level of San Francisco

2223
01:46:11,479 --> 01:46:14,800
Speaker 1: or New England. But those are truly the class of

2224
01:46:14,840 --> 01:46:17,519
Speaker 1: the league when it comes to rushing and putting pressure

2225
01:46:17,560 --> 01:46:20,360
Speaker 1: on a quarterback or on the quarterback. But guys like

2226
01:46:20,720 --> 01:46:23,479
Speaker 1: guys like Jerry Hughes was big yesterday. Shack Lawson I

2227
01:46:23,520 --> 01:46:28,559
Speaker 1: thought was extremely vital to this defensive success on Sunday.

2228
01:46:28,680 --> 01:46:32,559
Speaker 1: Keep saying yesterday on Sunday because he was just so

2229
01:46:32,800 --> 01:46:34,960
Speaker 1: disciplined in his contain and it was part of the

2230
01:46:35,000 --> 01:46:38,200
Speaker 1: reason why Lamar Jackson couldn't really break outside like we're

2231
01:46:38,200 --> 01:46:41,519
Speaker 1: accustomed to see him. From him, he did an excellent

2232
01:46:41,600 --> 01:46:44,400
Speaker 1: job of staying in his gap. So did Jordan Phillips,

2233
01:46:44,439 --> 01:46:47,280
Speaker 1: so did that Oliver. It was an impressive showing from

2234
01:46:47,320 --> 01:46:50,080
Speaker 1: that front seven all around, but I think still far

2235
01:46:50,160 --> 01:46:52,960
Speaker 1: in away the strength of this defense lies in that secondary.

2236
01:46:53,080 --> 01:46:57,200
Speaker 1: Looking ahead to Pittsburgh Steelers, You've got a guy Devlin

2237
01:46:57,360 --> 01:47:02,920
Speaker 1: Hodges who is a caller, but he's gonna be looking

2238
01:47:02,920 --> 01:47:07,040
Speaker 1: at a defensive secondary that maybe has the best disguising

2239
01:47:07,840 --> 01:47:11,040
Speaker 1: secondary safeties in the league. And Micah Hyde and Jordan Poyer,

2240
01:47:11,120 --> 01:47:13,320
Speaker 1: they do a really nice job of not allowing you

2241
01:47:13,360 --> 01:47:15,880
Speaker 1: to know exactly what defense they're gonna be in. Can

2242
01:47:15,920 --> 01:47:18,280
Speaker 1: they get that much of an edge on a young

2243
01:47:18,400 --> 01:47:23,200
Speaker 1: quarterback at this stage? Oh yeah, I think this could

2244
01:47:23,200 --> 01:47:26,080
Speaker 1: be a long day for an undrafted rookie. Uh that's

2245
01:47:26,120 --> 01:47:29,240
Speaker 1: something Leslie Fraser, Sean McDermott. This defense is really known

2246
01:47:29,280 --> 01:47:31,640
Speaker 1: for his disguising their looks and showing one thing but

2247
01:47:31,720 --> 01:47:35,280
Speaker 1: doing another. This is it's gonna be a long week

2248
01:47:35,320 --> 01:47:38,840
Speaker 1: for Duck Hodges. I'd expect he's in that film room

2249
01:47:39,160 --> 01:47:41,640
Speaker 1: well laid at late into the night and early in

2250
01:47:41,680 --> 01:47:44,400
Speaker 1: the morning, just to try to get any kind of

2251
01:47:44,439 --> 01:47:47,760
Speaker 1: read on him. But better quarterbacks than Duck Hodges have

2252
01:47:47,960 --> 01:47:51,480
Speaker 1: been confused by this defense. I would expect that to continue.

2253
01:47:52,000 --> 01:47:55,120
Speaker 1: I'd expect that to continue on Sunday Night, Marcel Louis

2254
01:47:55,240 --> 01:47:58,680
Speaker 1: Jacques of ESPN NFL Nation Bills Reporter And speaking of

2255
01:47:58,680 --> 01:48:01,640
Speaker 1: those safeties a point and Micah Hyde, you wrote a

2256
01:48:01,640 --> 01:48:03,559
Speaker 1: post a couple of months ago now about those two

2257
01:48:03,600 --> 01:48:06,160
Speaker 1: their path to Buffalo. You call them to the most

2258
01:48:06,200 --> 01:48:08,559
Speaker 1: underrated safeties in the league, maybe two of the most

2259
01:48:09,160 --> 01:48:11,400
Speaker 1: productive safeties in the league. And the fact that they're

2260
01:48:11,479 --> 01:48:14,439
Speaker 1: here I think is underrated because there are two critical

2261
01:48:14,479 --> 01:48:18,160
Speaker 1: pieces of how good the Buffalo defense is. Right, yeah,

2262
01:48:18,200 --> 01:48:21,439
Speaker 1: they are, and they're kind of but the poster children

2263
01:48:21,760 --> 01:48:24,519
Speaker 1: for what Buffalo is trying to do here and how

2264
01:48:24,600 --> 01:48:27,439
Speaker 1: it's curated its locker room. They're saying that, you know,

2265
01:48:28,280 --> 01:48:30,400
Speaker 1: this team might not have watched it wanted you, or

2266
01:48:30,520 --> 01:48:32,600
Speaker 1: this team might not have offered you the contract you

2267
01:48:32,600 --> 01:48:36,559
Speaker 1: think you deserve, but we see the value in you.

2268
01:48:36,640 --> 01:48:38,880
Speaker 1: We see the value that you see in yourself, and

2269
01:48:38,920 --> 01:48:41,840
Speaker 1: we want to let you be that kind of player here.

2270
01:48:41,960 --> 01:48:43,559
Speaker 1: We want to let you. You're going to be yourself

2271
01:48:43,640 --> 01:48:45,760
Speaker 1: here and you're gonna be productive for us. This is

2272
01:48:45,800 --> 01:48:48,959
Speaker 1: your second chance. This is your opportunity to prove everybody

2273
01:48:49,000 --> 01:48:52,040
Speaker 1: else wrong. And I mean, what what better city to

2274
01:48:52,080 --> 01:48:55,920
Speaker 1: do that than than Buffalo. It's it's a city of underdogs,

2275
01:48:55,920 --> 01:48:58,000
Speaker 1: it's a city with the chip on its shoulder. It's

2276
01:48:58,040 --> 01:49:01,240
Speaker 1: a city that loves to prove the popular opinion wrong.

2277
01:49:01,280 --> 01:49:04,240
Speaker 1: And so that's Jordan Poyer, Mica Hide. There really are

2278
01:49:04,680 --> 01:49:07,640
Speaker 1: just the poster children for that. John Brown and Cole

2279
01:49:07,720 --> 01:49:10,680
Speaker 1: Beasley have followed it up as well. Jordan Phillips has

2280
01:49:10,720 --> 01:49:12,800
Speaker 1: as well. I mean, you just you see it over

2281
01:49:12,840 --> 01:49:15,920
Speaker 1: and over and over again, and so you know, it's

2282
01:49:15,920 --> 01:49:18,360
Speaker 1: not just grammar that they're talking like this is they

2283
01:49:18,400 --> 01:49:21,800
Speaker 1: really believe in this concept here and I think they've

2284
01:49:21,840 --> 01:49:23,880
Speaker 1: executed it pretty well. And Marcella, you've heard it being

2285
01:49:23,960 --> 01:49:26,519
Speaker 1: and mcderman talking about the players have a certain DNA.

2286
01:49:26,920 --> 01:49:29,040
Speaker 1: Those two have it right, and that may be the

2287
01:49:29,160 --> 01:49:32,320
Speaker 1: key unifying theme among the guys you just mentioned John

2288
01:49:32,320 --> 01:49:35,720
Speaker 1: Brown and Beasley and Jordan Phillips and Poyer and High.

2289
01:49:35,840 --> 01:49:38,280
Speaker 1: It's kind of a type of player they want, not

2290
01:49:38,360 --> 01:49:41,080
Speaker 1: necessarily a position or even a skill set they're they're

2291
01:49:41,120 --> 01:49:45,080
Speaker 1: looking for. Yeah, I mean, there's just such a variety

2292
01:49:45,160 --> 01:49:48,720
Speaker 1: of players and personalities in that locker room. But the

2293
01:49:48,920 --> 01:49:52,760
Speaker 1: I think the one comment trait is that they were

2294
01:49:52,760 --> 01:49:55,280
Speaker 1: all overlooked in some ways. Shape or form. I don't

2295
01:49:55,280 --> 01:49:58,000
Speaker 1: think anybody, anybody on this roster, off the top of

2296
01:49:58,040 --> 01:50:01,519
Speaker 1: my head, has been touted a as you know, the

2297
01:50:01,560 --> 01:50:04,200
Speaker 1: best thing since sliced bread. From every step of the way.

2298
01:50:04,240 --> 01:50:06,599
Speaker 1: They've either being overlooked in the draft or passed over

2299
01:50:06,640 --> 01:50:09,040
Speaker 1: in the draft. They've been cut, they've been fired, they've

2300
01:50:09,080 --> 01:50:13,479
Speaker 1: been traded. You know they're not. This isn't a roster

2301
01:50:13,560 --> 01:50:16,040
Speaker 1: full of that blue chip cream of the crop, big

2302
01:50:16,120 --> 01:50:20,479
Speaker 1: name talent. But they are great there. Some of our

2303
01:50:20,560 --> 01:50:23,960
Speaker 1: parts are is just I mean, it can't be denied

2304
01:50:24,040 --> 01:50:25,720
Speaker 1: nine and four. You see it on the field now.

2305
01:50:25,800 --> 01:50:30,360
Speaker 1: And what Sean McDermott, Brandon Bean, Dan Morgan, the league boyd,

2306
01:50:30,520 --> 01:50:34,080
Speaker 1: that entire staff have been able to do in just

2307
01:50:34,280 --> 01:50:37,120
Speaker 1: two and a half three years is I think commendable.

2308
01:50:37,120 --> 01:50:40,040
Speaker 1: They've built a team, They've built a franchise that has

2309
01:50:40,080 --> 01:50:44,479
Speaker 1: a shot at running the AFC East for a foreseeable future.

2310
01:50:45,160 --> 01:50:47,200
Speaker 1: New England. I don't know what they're going to do

2311
01:50:47,320 --> 01:50:49,639
Speaker 1: post Brady. I don't know how much longer he actually

2312
01:50:49,640 --> 01:50:51,559
Speaker 1: can play. I don't care how long he wants to play.

2313
01:50:51,600 --> 01:50:54,720
Speaker 1: We all want things. The New York Jets are. That

2314
01:50:54,840 --> 01:50:57,639
Speaker 1: dumpster fire still has not been extinguished. We don't know

2315
01:50:57,680 --> 01:51:00,599
Speaker 1: what Miami's going to do with those draft picks and rebuild.

2316
01:51:00,920 --> 01:51:02,800
Speaker 1: The only shirt thing right now, the only or the

2317
01:51:02,840 --> 01:51:05,880
Speaker 1: closest thing to a sure bet in the afcast, looks

2318
01:51:05,880 --> 01:51:09,080
Speaker 1: like the Buffalo build. So consider where this franchise has

2319
01:51:09,080 --> 01:51:12,040
Speaker 1: come from in the past twenty years. I think it's impressive. Yeah,

2320
01:51:12,160 --> 01:51:14,120
Speaker 1: last thing I've got for you. More so, do you

2321
01:51:14,200 --> 01:51:17,120
Speaker 1: make anything of this report from New England about the

2322
01:51:17,760 --> 01:51:22,439
Speaker 1: video crew taping the sideline of the Bengals game for

2323
01:51:22,479 --> 01:51:26,400
Speaker 1: the first quarter? Is there something there? Yeah? I think so.

2324
01:51:26,560 --> 01:51:29,479
Speaker 1: Or there's usually where there's smoke, there's fire, And you know,

2325
01:51:29,600 --> 01:51:31,960
Speaker 1: this wouldn't be as big of a concern if you

2326
01:51:32,040 --> 01:51:35,160
Speaker 1: didn't get caught doing this several years ago. So you

2327
01:51:35,280 --> 01:51:38,160
Speaker 1: have a reputation and that doesn't go away. And you're

2328
01:51:38,200 --> 01:51:41,519
Speaker 1: starting to see the rumors start to spread that New

2329
01:51:41,520 --> 01:51:44,960
Speaker 1: England will send stat or has sent staffers to hotel

2330
01:51:45,640 --> 01:51:49,200
Speaker 1: visiting team hotels, or try to pick ups like playbooks

2331
01:51:49,240 --> 01:51:51,840
Speaker 1: that have been left around or playsheets that they used

2332
01:51:51,840 --> 01:51:53,599
Speaker 1: to I just read one before I got on here.

2333
01:51:53,680 --> 01:51:57,000
Speaker 1: The old Outside Lines report that they would send a

2334
01:51:57,080 --> 01:52:00,720
Speaker 1: low level employee into opponent locker rooms in warm ups

2335
01:52:00,920 --> 01:52:03,800
Speaker 1: to try to, you know, pick up a couple of

2336
01:52:03,880 --> 01:52:08,360
Speaker 1: the first twenty play sheets, the scripted sheets, to the

2337
01:52:08,400 --> 01:52:11,160
Speaker 1: point where teams would start to leave fake place sheets

2338
01:52:11,560 --> 01:52:14,760
Speaker 1: for New England's employees to come grab. So no, I

2339
01:52:14,800 --> 01:52:17,479
Speaker 1: think there's I think there's something to it um this

2340
01:52:17,600 --> 01:52:20,639
Speaker 1: whole You know, we had nothing. We did not knowingly

2341
01:52:21,040 --> 01:52:23,360
Speaker 1: break the rules. It just it reads like that old

2342
01:52:23,439 --> 01:52:26,400
Speaker 1: Dave Chappelle's get when he gets pulled over in the car. Sorry,

2343
01:52:26,439 --> 01:52:28,640
Speaker 1: I didn't know I couldn't do that, Okay, but you

2344
01:52:28,680 --> 01:52:34,920
Speaker 1: did it? And that suitable for a family audiences? Is

2345
01:52:34,920 --> 01:52:39,200
Speaker 1: that suitable for a family audience? Dave Chappelle? Uh, you know,

2346
01:52:39,280 --> 01:52:43,400
Speaker 1: I would have a talk with your kids before I

2347
01:52:43,439 --> 01:52:47,559
Speaker 1: gotta see it. I never to see it. It is, Uh,

2348
01:52:47,720 --> 01:52:50,920
Speaker 1: it's pretty funny. He's driving with the guy driving with

2349
01:52:50,960 --> 01:52:54,479
Speaker 1: a friend. Friend gets pulled over. Officer comes over, tells

2350
01:52:54,520 --> 01:52:56,240
Speaker 1: him that he was you're not allowed to race, and

2351
01:52:56,280 --> 01:52:58,080
Speaker 1: he looks and says, I'm sorry, I didn't know I

2352
01:52:58,080 --> 01:53:01,960
Speaker 1: couldn't do that. And there's to it, but I'm gonna

2353
01:53:02,000 --> 01:53:03,559
Speaker 1: find it what I'm talking about? And those are the

2354
01:53:03,560 --> 01:53:10,000
Speaker 1: Patriots Dave Chappelle herself right now? Yeah, Thanks for Marsel.

2355
01:53:10,120 --> 01:53:11,720
Speaker 1: It was good talking with you, and we'll see you

2356
01:53:11,720 --> 01:53:13,160
Speaker 1: around here. I know you're out here a lot. We'll

2357
01:53:13,240 --> 01:53:16,720
Speaker 1: see you here tomorrow, I would think, right, absolutely, Thanks

2358
01:53:16,760 --> 01:53:19,280
Speaker 1: for having me on once again. Okay, so thanks Marcella.

2359
01:53:19,320 --> 01:53:22,200
Speaker 1: Luis Jacques, ESPN, NFL nation bills reported around the line

2360
01:53:22,240 --> 01:53:24,800
Speaker 1: with us. Now I want to see that. Well, don't

2361
01:53:24,880 --> 01:53:28,639
Speaker 1: just maybe you're right? Look face, what are you saying?

2362
01:53:29,040 --> 01:53:31,759
Speaker 1: I think paranoia is? I didn't know you were that paranoid?

2363
01:53:31,800 --> 01:53:34,320
Speaker 1: What else you're paranoid about? Paranoid? Why would they're not

2364
01:53:34,400 --> 01:53:38,800
Speaker 1: after me? I'm not paranoid. I'm not saying they're innocent either.

2365
01:53:38,880 --> 01:53:41,120
Speaker 1: I'm just saying there's not a whole lot. I don't

2366
01:53:41,200 --> 01:53:45,080
Speaker 1: think there's a whole lot of evidence that they got anything, uh, illegally.

2367
01:53:45,760 --> 01:53:48,439
Speaker 1: We'll see, we'll see how they investigation comes out. They

2368
01:53:48,479 --> 01:53:51,519
Speaker 1: did get something illegally. They shot video illegally. They admitted

2369
01:53:51,600 --> 01:53:54,200
Speaker 1: that that was obvious. Oh yeah, But whether it was

2370
01:53:54,280 --> 01:53:57,880
Speaker 1: trying illegal too, whether it was done deliberately and with

2371
01:53:57,960 --> 01:54:01,080
Speaker 1: a plan and purpose, is this real question. Teams do

2372
01:54:01,400 --> 01:54:03,640
Speaker 1: video pieces all over the place, all over the lead.

2373
01:54:03,720 --> 01:54:05,960
Speaker 1: That's exactly right. They do. They do, and they shoot

2374
01:54:06,200 --> 01:54:09,320
Speaker 1: all over the place. Y. I just think unless I

2375
01:54:09,400 --> 01:54:11,719
Speaker 1: need to see more evidence, I'm not a conspiracy theorist

2376
01:54:12,240 --> 01:54:13,880
Speaker 1: as you are. And a lot of other stuff he

2377
01:54:13,960 --> 01:54:16,320
Speaker 1: was talking about, like a locker room. That's just rumor.

2378
01:54:16,560 --> 01:54:21,280
Speaker 1: That's just it's rumor. I'm not a conspiracy theorist. I

2379
01:54:21,360 --> 01:54:23,880
Speaker 1: see where you're coming from. We got more to come. Well,

2380
01:54:24,080 --> 01:54:25,920
Speaker 1: we can talk more about this luck to talk about

2381
01:54:25,920 --> 01:54:27,840
Speaker 1: the Bills and their offensive issues. How do they get

2382
01:54:27,880 --> 01:54:30,040
Speaker 1: him fixed? Let's hear from you. It's one Dal's Line

Speaker 1: Milestones now presented by Reach Jewelers, the official jeweler the

2386
01:54:54,640 --> 01:54:56,960
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. John Brown now with a team high nine

2387
01:54:57,080 --> 01:54:59,960
Speaker 1: hundred eight receiving yards this year, already a new record

2388
01:55:00,080 --> 01:55:02,520
Speaker 1: for a Bills player. In his first thirteen games with

2389
01:55:02,600 --> 01:55:05,000
Speaker 1: the team, Bill Miller did it, he had eight hundred

2390
01:55:05,080 --> 01:55:08,640
Speaker 1: forty two yards. Back in nineteen sixty three, Jerry Butler

2391
01:55:08,720 --> 01:55:10,960
Speaker 1: had eight hundred and more. Sammy Watkins had a twenty two.

2392
01:55:11,000 --> 01:55:12,960
Speaker 1: But John Brown with the team record nine hundred eight

2393
01:55:13,320 --> 01:55:16,680
Speaker 1: receiving yards even Marcella Luis Jacques had great signing for

2394

Speaker 1: the Bills in the offseason. He and Cole Beasley, John

2395
01:55:19,240 --> 01:55:21,640
Speaker 1: Murphy's teep task, are talking about the Buffalo offense and

2396
01:55:21,960 --> 01:55:24,320
Speaker 1: want to get your thoughts on it. What's the way

2397
01:55:24,360 --> 01:55:26,360
Speaker 1: the Bills offense can get better short term? The most

2398
01:55:26,360 --> 01:55:28,360
Speaker 1: important adjustment they need to make. Let's go to the

2399
01:55:28,400 --> 01:55:31,400
Speaker 1: tweet sheet brought you by Corrigan Moving Systems, the official

2400

Speaker 1: movers of the Buffalo Bills from William most important adjustment

2401
01:55:34,680 --> 01:55:36,480
Speaker 1: for the Buffalo offense, he says, we need to give

2402
01:55:36,560 --> 01:55:38,400
Speaker 1: Josh time. I don't know if what it means going

2403
01:55:38,440 --> 01:55:40,720
Speaker 1: to a different personnel package with a tight end or

2404
01:55:40,760 --> 01:55:44,000
Speaker 1: fullback in the backfield. I do know that they will

2405
01:55:44,040 --> 01:55:46,640
Speaker 1: make adjustments and have a good game plan. Pittsburgh doesn't

2406
01:55:46,640 --> 01:55:49,960
Speaker 1: blitz as much, but their d line is elite. Nobody

2407
01:55:50,040 --> 01:55:52,720
Speaker 1: blitzes as much, well as not until this way made.

2408
01:55:52,960 --> 01:55:55,040
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh may decide that's what they want to do, and

2409
01:55:55,440 --> 01:55:57,720
Speaker 1: you know they made game plan for the exact same way,

2410
01:55:57,720 --> 01:55:59,800
Speaker 1: and say, listen, they couldn't fix it against Baltimore'll see

2411
01:55:59,800 --> 01:56:01,360
Speaker 1: if they can fix it against us. They might come

2412
01:56:01,360 --> 01:56:03,640
Speaker 1: out and do that right out of the gate and

2413
01:56:03,760 --> 01:56:05,400
Speaker 1: see if the Bills can handle it, and if they can't,

2414
01:56:05,440 --> 01:56:07,920
Speaker 1: they just keep doing it. From Thomas, he said, I

2415
01:56:08,040 --> 01:56:10,240
Speaker 1: voted other The Bills need to develop a more effective

2416
01:56:10,280 --> 01:56:13,480
Speaker 1: screen game. Get Singletary out on the edges with blockers

2417
01:56:13,520 --> 01:56:15,240
Speaker 1: in front of them. They do not see them adept

2418
01:56:15,280 --> 01:56:18,280
Speaker 1: at this either Josh is not patient. Blockers lagging getting

2419
01:56:18,320 --> 01:56:22,040
Speaker 1: out or passes or off target needs work. No dispute

2420
01:56:22,080 --> 01:56:24,560
Speaker 1: with that. I agree. Yeah, not a good screen team. Yep.

2421
01:56:24,760 --> 01:56:29,720
Speaker 1: Screens have not worked for him, and whether it's execution, design, talent,

2422
01:56:30,080 --> 01:56:33,880
Speaker 1: you name it, something's not working and you'd like to

2423
01:56:33,920 --> 01:56:35,760
Speaker 1: see him be able to because it's a great way

2424
01:56:35,800 --> 01:56:37,840
Speaker 1: to negate a pass rush. You know, those guys started,

2425
01:56:37,920 --> 01:56:40,920
Speaker 1: you know, they start getting you just let them go

2426
01:56:40,960 --> 01:56:43,120
Speaker 1: to the quarterback, you know, and then and then make

2427
01:56:43,200 --> 01:56:45,000
Speaker 1: them pay for it. But yeah, up to this point,

2428
01:56:45,000 --> 01:56:48,440
Speaker 1: it hasn't been a huge, huge boost for the Bills offense.

2429
01:56:48,520 --> 01:56:50,120
Speaker 1: From Nick on the tweet sheet, he says, I think

2430
01:56:50,120 --> 01:56:52,680
Speaker 1: it's all about the blitz. Since our offense has played

2431
01:56:52,720 --> 01:56:55,360
Speaker 1: well at times this year, even when we had no

2432
01:56:55,480 --> 01:56:58,800
Speaker 1: deep ball. The old line needs to step up their

2433
01:56:58,840 --> 01:57:02,000
Speaker 1: pass protection, and job needs to better sense and handle pressure.

2434
01:57:02,040 --> 01:57:05,040
Speaker 1: I think teams see handling the blitz as our weakness.

2435
01:57:05,720 --> 01:57:08,959
Speaker 1: Certainly you could. You don't have to be an opponent

2436
01:57:09,040 --> 01:57:11,480
Speaker 1: to see. Yeah, the issues I had last week, Yeah,

2437
01:57:11,480 --> 01:57:13,080
Speaker 1: they got sacked six times and I got a really

2438
01:57:13,160 --> 01:57:16,560
Speaker 1: mobile quarterback. One more from the tweet sheet from Big Multi,

2439
01:57:16,880 --> 01:57:18,720
Speaker 1: he said, and this is the way to get your

2440
01:57:18,720 --> 01:57:23,160
Speaker 1: tweet read. Big Multi says, great Pole. Oh there's more.

2441
01:57:23,680 --> 01:57:26,440
Speaker 1: If Josh hits those open receivers Sunday, we would have

2442
01:57:26,520 --> 01:57:29,440
Speaker 1: steamrolled the Ravens. We had several receivers that had their

2443
01:57:29,480 --> 01:57:32,240
Speaker 1: man beat. Josh overthrew all of them. Jost did okay

2444
01:57:32,320 --> 01:57:34,520
Speaker 1: with overcoming the blitz, but if he hits on that deepass,

2445
01:57:34,760 --> 01:57:37,840
Speaker 1: watch out, this offense could be scary. Yeah. And we're

2446
01:57:37,920 --> 01:57:40,480
Speaker 1: thirteen games into it though, right, Yeah, time is now

2447
01:57:40,800 --> 01:57:44,160
Speaker 1: started hitting those now. Yeah, I mean, and he's overcome

2448
01:57:44,200 --> 01:57:47,240
Speaker 1: his accuracy issues are not overcoming, but certainly alleviated that

2449
01:57:47,640 --> 01:57:51,240
Speaker 1: the problems that his inaccuracy caused them. That intermediates. I mean,

2450
01:57:51,320 --> 01:57:54,640
Speaker 1: he's he's completing a higher, much higher percentage of his passes.

2451
01:57:54,680 --> 01:57:57,280
Speaker 1: I mean it was up seventy nine percent in the

2452
01:57:57,400 --> 01:58:01,120
Speaker 1: Dallas game at one point. So and the intermediate passes

2453
01:58:01,120 --> 01:58:04,400
Speaker 1: and short passes. He can complete those when he wants to.

2454
01:58:05,200 --> 01:58:08,120
Speaker 1: But the deep ball, I mean, that's all about putting

2455
01:58:08,160 --> 01:58:10,200
Speaker 1: it in the right spot and giving your receiver a

2456
01:58:10,320 --> 01:58:12,880
Speaker 1: chance to go get it or not, and not the

2457
01:58:13,000 --> 01:58:17,360
Speaker 1: defensive back. And it's just disappeared for him this year.

2458
01:58:18,280 --> 01:58:20,760
Speaker 1: It's really we talked about this earlier in the show.

2459
01:58:20,800 --> 01:58:23,920
Speaker 1: It's really weird how that has disappeared from his game.

2460
01:58:24,040 --> 01:58:26,280
Speaker 1: Last year was their best offensive weapon in the second

2461
01:58:26,280 --> 01:58:28,120
Speaker 1: half of the season, when Josh would lay it up

2462
01:58:28,120 --> 01:58:30,320
Speaker 1: there and Robert Foster would go and get it or whoever.

2463
01:58:30,880 --> 01:58:34,680
Speaker 1: And this year is completely vacant, vacated. The premises right,

2464
01:58:34,840 --> 01:58:38,160
Speaker 1: it's frustrating. It's frustrating. It's frustrating, and people are right.

2465
01:58:38,200 --> 01:58:39,960
Speaker 1: You get into these games, these close games like you

2466
01:58:40,040 --> 01:58:42,640
Speaker 1: always are with this defense. Nobody's running off and leaving you.

2467
01:58:43,400 --> 01:58:45,760
Speaker 1: You get into these games like this and we get

2468
01:58:45,840 --> 01:58:47,560
Speaker 1: one of those games. One of those is the game,

2469
01:58:47,880 --> 01:58:49,840
Speaker 1: one of them, one of them. It's just one of them,

2470
01:58:49,880 --> 01:58:53,400
Speaker 1: and man, oh man, that's like, oh yep. Take a

2471
01:58:53,440 --> 01:58:56,800
Speaker 1: few phone calls here, We'll go to Donna in Rochester. Hello, Donna,

2472
01:58:56,840 --> 01:58:59,920
Speaker 1: Welcome to the show. Good morning, gentlemen. How you doing good,

2473
01:59:00,160 --> 01:59:04,400
Speaker 1: good good. Hey, um, John, I hate to bust your bubble,

2474
01:59:04,440 --> 01:59:06,480
Speaker 1: but I gotta go with Steve on this video. Kare

2475
01:59:07,880 --> 01:59:12,840
Speaker 1: we gotta remember that coach took Belichick's son off the

2476
01:59:12,960 --> 01:59:15,640
Speaker 1: fields when the Patriots played in Buffalo? Yeah, what did

2477
01:59:15,680 --> 01:59:17,240
Speaker 1: that mean? Though? What were they doing on the field?

2478
01:59:17,280 --> 01:59:21,120
Speaker 1: What were they getting watching pregame warm ups that well,

2479
01:59:21,200 --> 01:59:23,800
Speaker 1: that point they needed to know. They were watching them

2480
01:59:24,040 --> 01:59:26,720
Speaker 1: to see how who we acted in what kind of

2481
01:59:26,760 --> 01:59:30,200
Speaker 1: a situation they didn't belong out there? That's the number

2482
01:59:30,240 --> 01:59:32,080
Speaker 1: one factor. Well, but I don't know what you get,

2483
01:59:32,160 --> 01:59:33,400
Speaker 1: just like I don't know what you get if you

2484
01:59:33,480 --> 01:59:35,680
Speaker 1: have video of the sidelines during the game that you

2485
01:59:35,760 --> 01:59:38,440
Speaker 1: don't get. I don't know. I don't think it matter

2486
01:59:38,440 --> 01:59:40,480
Speaker 1: as much, but not a coach. But coach knows what

2487
01:59:40,600 --> 01:59:46,360
Speaker 1: he gets. Okay, all right, so but this between you

2488
01:59:46,440 --> 01:59:48,800
Speaker 1: and I, Now, look, I don't trust the Patriots either.

2489
01:59:48,800 --> 01:59:51,600
Speaker 1: I don't think there's enough evidence this did one suggest

2490
01:59:51,680 --> 01:59:54,880
Speaker 1: that they get anything meaningful from shooting sideline video or

2491
01:59:54,960 --> 01:59:58,680
Speaker 1: two that they actually carried this out with the bad intentions.

2492
01:59:58,800 --> 02:00:01,920
Speaker 1: You know, as I said, teams all over the league

2493
02:00:02,280 --> 02:00:04,800
Speaker 1: send video cruise to games all over the league. Following

2494
02:00:04,840 --> 02:00:07,880
Speaker 1: their personnel, even scouts. You know, teams do it all

2495
02:00:07,880 --> 02:00:12,520
Speaker 1: the time. It's not that unusual. Don't just look at

2496
02:00:12,600 --> 02:00:15,000
Speaker 1: me because you have nothing to say. They wouldn't do

2497
02:00:15,040 --> 02:00:17,760
Speaker 1: it if it didn't work. They're shooting a video piece

2498
02:00:17,800 --> 02:00:22,000
Speaker 1: of feature package like they've done before, like the team

2499
02:00:22,040 --> 02:00:25,840
Speaker 1: busted for. They weren't shooting video features. They were exactly

2500
02:00:25,920 --> 02:00:28,880
Speaker 1: shooting the video that they got busted. The spygate thing,

2501
02:00:29,000 --> 02:00:32,600
Speaker 1: the first spygate was not a feature video shoot. That's

2502
02:00:32,640 --> 02:00:35,200
Speaker 1: what the guy covered the team football video people. They

2503
02:00:35,280 --> 02:00:38,520
Speaker 1: weren't the feature shooters like every team has now. They

2504
02:00:38,560 --> 02:00:41,440
Speaker 1: weren't the entertainment side. They were the football. That's not true.

2505
02:00:42,120 --> 02:00:45,160
Speaker 1: The guy was on the sidelines. They don't shoot football

2506
02:00:45,240 --> 02:00:47,680
Speaker 1: video from the sidelines. Spygate one, he was caught on

2507
02:00:47,760 --> 02:00:50,840
Speaker 1: the side or right. I've seen the video. The guy

2508
02:00:50,960 --> 02:00:54,080
Speaker 1: was on the sidelines, pointed not at the field, down

2509
02:00:54,160 --> 02:00:57,640
Speaker 1: the sideline, that right at the defensive coaches busted proves nothing.

2510
02:00:58,080 --> 02:01:00,680
Speaker 1: Kevin and Hamburg, Hello Kevin, how you do it? Thanks

2511
02:01:00,720 --> 02:01:03,320
Speaker 1: for taking my call? Sure? Two things I want to say.

2512
02:01:03,400 --> 02:01:05,680
Speaker 1: First of about the blitz, Yes, we got to handle

2513
02:01:05,760 --> 02:01:08,480
Speaker 1: the blitz because the Steelers defense has always been good

2514
02:01:08,520 --> 02:01:10,800
Speaker 1: on the blitz. I remember back in the eating when

2515
02:01:10,800 --> 02:01:13,160
Speaker 1: all those legends of the steel Curtent retired. They still

2516
02:01:13,360 --> 02:01:18,480
Speaker 1: terrorize quarterbacks with blitzes. And number two about striots. If

2517
02:01:18,560 --> 02:01:21,400
Speaker 1: they get caught cheating, and they found out they cheat

2518
02:01:21,760 --> 02:01:24,720
Speaker 1: almost a third time, then they should lay down the

2519
02:01:24,800 --> 02:01:27,480
Speaker 1: law like you do a criminal. Three strikes you're out,

2520
02:01:27,640 --> 02:01:30,640
Speaker 1: like they do, throw them out of the league. What's

2521
02:01:30,640 --> 02:01:32,800
Speaker 1: that throw them out of the league. Well, no, no,

2522
02:01:33,400 --> 02:01:36,240
Speaker 1: that's what three strikes you're out means. Not that. But

2523
02:01:36,400 --> 02:01:39,840
Speaker 1: like take maybe instead of one year, draft number one

2524
02:01:39,920 --> 02:01:44,600
Speaker 1: draft away, maybe the nick draft. All right, sticking to him, Yeah,

2525
02:01:44,720 --> 02:01:46,920
Speaker 1: we'll see. Yeah, I get you, Kevin, I mean not yeah,

2526
02:01:47,520 --> 02:01:49,440
Speaker 1: there's a long way to go before you that happens.

2527
02:01:49,520 --> 02:01:52,680
Speaker 1: But yeah, yeah, like evidence proof, that's the way you

2528
02:01:52,720 --> 02:01:55,880
Speaker 1: gotta go. There's no Yeah, here's the thing they hand

2529
02:01:56,440 --> 02:01:59,840
Speaker 1: to the Patriots credit or it's different than it wasn't Spike.

2530
02:02:00,440 --> 02:02:03,240
Speaker 1: They denied, denied, denied, wouldn't give up, and finally just

2531
02:02:03,360 --> 02:02:05,440
Speaker 1: got busted doing it. They it was it came out

2532
02:02:05,480 --> 02:02:08,320
Speaker 1: that they was exactly what they were doing. Uh this

2533
02:02:08,560 --> 02:02:11,000
Speaker 1: time they were they were very forth right. I say, oh, listen,

2534
02:02:11,040 --> 02:02:13,000
Speaker 1: we'll give you the video. I mean no, you know,

2535
02:02:13,040 --> 02:02:15,120
Speaker 1: they coughed up everything and said, hey, wait wa, we

2536
02:02:15,200 --> 02:02:18,440
Speaker 1: made a mistake here. Now that could be nothing. Well,

2537
02:02:19,400 --> 02:02:24,040
Speaker 1: tells me they learned something, but there's no to their credit,

2538
02:02:24,080 --> 02:02:26,680
Speaker 1: they're handling this incident much different than they did the

2539
02:02:26,720 --> 02:02:29,560
Speaker 1: first spygate. Maybe you can say, well, yeah, they're gonna

2540
02:02:29,600 --> 02:02:33,360
Speaker 1: do something different, but I don't know. There's a long

2541
02:02:33,400 --> 02:02:34,840
Speaker 1: way to go before any of this comes out, and

2542
02:02:35,040 --> 02:02:39,520
Speaker 1: and I doubt doubt that anything will come of this,

2543
02:02:40,040 --> 02:02:44,000
Speaker 1: even though it looks very, very suspicious. So all right,

2544
02:02:44,080 --> 02:02:46,080
Speaker 1: let me take another call. People want to talk about this.

2545
02:02:46,160 --> 02:02:48,600
Speaker 1: I get it, perfect talk show fodder by the way,

2546
02:02:48,800 --> 02:02:53,040
Speaker 1: Patriots cheat discuss. Let's go to time and Cheeta Waga. Hello,

2547
02:02:53,120 --> 02:02:56,920
Speaker 1: time you're on the air. Hi, gentlemen. First, I want

2548
02:02:56,960 --> 02:03:00,240
Speaker 1: to say Steve, first time getting the call into you guys,

2549
02:03:00,280 --> 02:03:02,440
Speaker 1: and I have so many fond memories of growing up

2550
02:03:02,480 --> 02:03:04,360
Speaker 1: watching you play, and I'm in rooting for you for

2551
02:03:04,400 --> 02:03:07,240
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame. Man, you've made my childhood pretty awesome.

2552
02:03:07,440 --> 02:03:11,240
Speaker 1: I appreciate it. Thanks, But I just want to I'm

2553
02:03:11,240 --> 02:03:13,760
Speaker 1: not a big conspiracy guy, you know, but I was

2554
02:03:13,840 --> 02:03:16,280
Speaker 1: looking at this whole you know Spygate two, and the

2555
02:03:16,360 --> 02:03:17,960
Speaker 1: only thing I can say is listening to you guys

2556
02:03:18,000 --> 02:03:21,960
Speaker 1: talked about like you know, videotaping hand signals. The biggest

2557
02:03:22,520 --> 02:03:25,400
Speaker 1: smoking gun I see is like in during the Pittsburgh

2558
02:03:25,440 --> 02:03:28,120
Speaker 1: game in Foxborough years back, where they were messing with

2559
02:03:28,280 --> 02:03:31,840
Speaker 1: the opponents headsets and they were getting the broadcast from

2560
02:03:32,000 --> 02:03:35,960
Speaker 1: the Patriots game instead of being able to communicate. Maybe

2561
02:03:36,000 --> 02:03:38,920
Speaker 1: they do that during the game and that forces the

2562
02:03:38,960 --> 02:03:42,280
Speaker 1: opponents to utilize hand signals that they videotaped. That's the

2563
02:03:42,360 --> 02:03:46,080
Speaker 1: best theory I could come up with. Yeah, Yeah, it's

2564
02:03:46,120 --> 02:03:48,720
Speaker 1: a Yeah, it's a it's a rabbit hole. I mean,

2565
02:03:48,800 --> 02:03:50,200
Speaker 1: we're got you can go down the rabbit hole and

2566
02:03:50,240 --> 02:03:53,040
Speaker 1: you can see shadows and conspiracies everywhere. I mean, there's

2567
02:03:53,040 --> 02:03:55,320
Speaker 1: a lot of moving parts to a football team. And

2568
02:03:55,560 --> 02:03:57,560
Speaker 1: if you do and if you do things like this,

2569
02:03:58,000 --> 02:04:01,280
Speaker 1: sooner or later gets out. There's a twenty fifteen article

2570
02:04:01,360 --> 02:04:05,160
Speaker 1: I refer to. One of the former assistant coach spilled

2571
02:04:05,200 --> 02:04:08,560
Speaker 1: his guts and gave some of the ins and outs

2572
02:04:08,600 --> 02:04:10,760
Speaker 1: of how they used to do things, which was against

2573
02:04:10,760 --> 02:04:13,440
Speaker 1: the rules and which is what spy Gay one was

2574
02:04:13,520 --> 02:04:17,840
Speaker 1: all about. So they've shown the willingness to do this

2575
02:04:17,960 --> 02:04:19,880
Speaker 1: kind of thing in the past. Whether they continue to

2576
02:04:19,920 --> 02:04:22,920
Speaker 1: go or go back to it, I don't know, but

2577
02:04:23,280 --> 02:04:26,840
Speaker 1: certainly it doesn't look good and it doesn't look good

2578
02:04:26,840 --> 02:04:28,840
Speaker 1: for the Patriots. It certainly doesn't look good for the

2579
02:04:29,040 --> 02:04:33,160
Speaker 1: NFL and it and it's, let's face it, it's a

2580
02:04:33,280 --> 02:04:35,400
Speaker 1: mess that the NFL isn't equipped to handle this kind

2581
02:04:35,440 --> 02:04:38,800
Speaker 1: of thing. And maybe that's conspiracy theories will go, Yeah,

2582
02:04:38,800 --> 02:04:40,400
Speaker 1: that's exactly why they do it, because they know the

2583
02:04:40,520 --> 02:04:42,320
Speaker 1: league can't do anything about it, you know what I mean.

2584
02:04:42,560 --> 02:04:45,560
Speaker 1: I mean it's a rabbit hole. So you got to

2585
02:04:45,600 --> 02:04:47,520
Speaker 1: know that other teams are going to be aware of it.

2586
02:04:47,600 --> 02:04:50,080
Speaker 1: You hope your team takes precautions about not letting it.

2587
02:04:50,200 --> 02:04:51,680
Speaker 1: Do it, change in their sign you know, just change

2588
02:04:51,680 --> 02:04:55,080
Speaker 1: your signs to whatever, take some precautions some and just

2589
02:04:55,400 --> 02:04:58,120
Speaker 1: go out and play. See if they can beat you. Thanks.

2590
02:04:58,360 --> 02:05:00,280
Speaker 1: Let's go to a mic in New Jersey. Oh, Mike,

2591
02:05:00,320 --> 02:05:01,560
Speaker 1: welcome to the show. You're on the air of this,

2592
02:05:02,880 --> 02:05:06,560
Speaker 1: Hi John, and see how are you today? Good? Hey,

2593
02:05:06,680 --> 02:05:08,640
Speaker 1: I just wanted to say, like it's easy for me

2594
02:05:09,240 --> 02:05:12,400
Speaker 1: after the fact, like looking at the hindside and you know,

2595
02:05:12,600 --> 02:05:16,280
Speaker 1: make make you know and give my judgment on you know,

2596
02:05:16,600 --> 02:05:19,200
Speaker 1: you know what we could have done differently. But one

2597
02:05:19,280 --> 02:05:22,080
Speaker 1: thing I noticed is that three games like Cleveland game,

2598
02:05:22,200 --> 02:05:25,280
Speaker 1: New England game, and this last game, when we are

2599
02:05:25,400 --> 02:05:29,120
Speaker 1: down last minute and like we need to get something

2600
02:05:29,240 --> 02:05:31,800
Speaker 1: even though we are not there behind, you know, we

2601
02:05:31,880 --> 02:05:34,040
Speaker 1: are not able to come up with any place or

2602
02:05:34,120 --> 02:05:38,360
Speaker 1: any sort of uh you know, creative with you on place.

2603
02:05:38,520 --> 02:05:40,880
Speaker 1: So yesterday, what I thought was when we had the

2604
02:05:40,960 --> 02:05:43,160
Speaker 1: second down in eight, third down in age four down

2605
02:05:43,240 --> 02:05:45,520
Speaker 1: in eight, you know, we did not even try to

2606
02:05:45,600 --> 02:05:49,280
Speaker 1: spread them out and maybe run run it on the

2607
02:05:49,320 --> 02:05:52,360
Speaker 1: second down. So I just think, like, you know, I

2608
02:05:52,400 --> 02:05:55,400
Speaker 1: don't we get nervous or I don't know what it is,

2609
02:05:55,800 --> 02:05:59,320
Speaker 1: but you know, just you know, I just want them

2610
02:05:59,360 --> 02:06:01,360
Speaker 1: to be little more creative. I mean, you only have

2611
02:06:01,520 --> 02:06:04,440
Speaker 1: one guy running to the post like John Brown, and

2612
02:06:04,520 --> 02:06:07,840
Speaker 1: there's everyone else just holding back when you have like

2613
02:06:07,960 --> 02:06:09,600
Speaker 1: four down in eight, I just think it doesn't make

2614
02:06:09,600 --> 02:06:11,800
Speaker 1: any sense to me. Yeah, here's and I get I

2615
02:06:11,960 --> 02:06:14,280
Speaker 1: get your Mike, and what you're you're saying is you

2616
02:06:14,360 --> 02:06:16,480
Speaker 1: and you're listed, you know, Cleveland, New England, Baltimore. There

2617
02:06:16,520 --> 02:06:18,200
Speaker 1: are three of the four losses that the Bills have

2618
02:06:18,280 --> 02:06:21,160
Speaker 1: suffered and here's what you gotta know when you when

2619
02:06:21,160 --> 02:06:24,520
Speaker 1: you're a team like Buffalo, all your games are gonna

2620
02:06:24,600 --> 02:06:28,560
Speaker 1: be clutch games. You look at the schedule for the Bills,

2621
02:06:28,760 --> 02:06:32,760
Speaker 1: and it's gonna be You're gonna tight games. They won

2622
02:06:32,880 --> 02:06:35,080
Speaker 1: by one point on opening day, they won by four

2623
02:06:35,200 --> 02:06:37,960
Speaker 1: points in Week three, they lost by six points in

2624
02:06:38,040 --> 02:06:41,040
Speaker 1: week four, they won by seven points in week five.

2625
02:06:42,000 --> 02:06:44,280
Speaker 1: You know, so they're in a lot of these tight

2626
02:06:44,440 --> 02:06:49,200
Speaker 1: games and they've won nine of them and lost four,

2627
02:06:49,880 --> 02:06:52,920
Speaker 1: which means a lot of clutch situations. They're pretty good.

2628
02:06:53,600 --> 02:06:56,040
Speaker 1: Not every time, but they're pretty good in clutch situations.

2629
02:06:56,080 --> 02:06:58,080
Speaker 1: And Murph and I have had this conversation as well

2630
02:06:58,160 --> 02:07:00,440
Speaker 1: that we think Josh's got a little bit of that

2631
02:07:00,520 --> 02:07:03,200
Speaker 1: in him. That's maybe some of his best football is

2632
02:07:03,280 --> 02:07:05,640
Speaker 1: when it's in situations like that. Certainly it didn't work

2633
02:07:05,680 --> 02:07:07,760
Speaker 1: out like that this last week, but it has at

2634
02:07:07,800 --> 02:07:11,760
Speaker 1: times during this season. So I get you. But it's

2635
02:07:11,840 --> 02:07:14,800
Speaker 1: something as Bills fans on this particular version of the

2636
02:07:14,840 --> 02:07:18,840
Speaker 1: Bills in twenty nineteen, you've got to be ready for

2637
02:07:19,000 --> 02:07:21,400
Speaker 1: fourth quarter crunch time one way or the other. Either

2638
02:07:21,440 --> 02:07:23,280
Speaker 1: your defense has got to stop him or your offense

2639
02:07:23,320 --> 02:07:26,720
Speaker 1: has got to score and nine out of the thirteen

2640
02:07:26,760 --> 02:07:28,600
Speaker 1: times they've played, this team has come up with the

2641
02:07:28,680 --> 02:07:31,440
Speaker 1: plays to win. Its not gonna work every weekend, but

2642
02:07:31,520 --> 02:07:33,920
Speaker 1: it certainly has more than often squeeze in one more call,

2643
02:07:34,040 --> 02:07:37,720
Speaker 1: Chris in New Jersey, Go ahead, Chris, Hey, guys, thanks

2644
02:07:37,720 --> 02:07:39,960
Speaker 1: for taking the call. Sure. I guess there's just a

2645
02:07:40,000 --> 02:07:43,000
Speaker 1: couple of things. Um, if you know, if we really

2646
02:07:43,040 --> 02:07:45,960
Speaker 1: believe that there was no nefarious or malicious use or

2647
02:07:46,440 --> 02:07:50,240
Speaker 1: intent of taking this video. First of all, one, why

2648
02:07:50,400 --> 02:07:54,520
Speaker 1: would they be filming direct view of the sideline what

2649
02:07:54,840 --> 02:07:58,120
Speaker 1: is reported to be most of the first quarter? And

2650
02:07:58,320 --> 02:08:01,920
Speaker 1: number two, why would the campmen when he was confronted,

2651
02:08:02,480 --> 02:08:06,720
Speaker 1: immediately asked if he can delete the videotape and then

2652
02:08:07,000 --> 02:08:10,120
Speaker 1: uh and then go about his way? Well, can I

2653
02:08:10,280 --> 02:08:13,400
Speaker 1: offer a few suggestions why? First, the first answer might

2654
02:08:13,440 --> 02:08:15,720
Speaker 1: be they just need b role, they just need video.

2655
02:08:15,760 --> 02:08:18,320
Speaker 1: They got enough shots of the principal subject. And look,

2656
02:08:18,320 --> 02:08:20,520
Speaker 1: I'm not saying this is true and nobody knows what

2657
02:08:20,640 --> 02:08:22,840
Speaker 1: really happened. Why would he offer a delete maybe to

2658
02:08:22,960 --> 02:08:25,920
Speaker 1: remove the suspicion like, oh, you're going to use this video? No, Look,

2659
02:08:25,960 --> 02:08:28,760
Speaker 1: I'm going to show you how how minimal this is

2660
02:08:28,800 --> 02:08:32,800
Speaker 1: for us I'll delete this video right now. No, I

2661
02:08:32,840 --> 02:08:34,400
Speaker 1: don't know. It just seems, you know, if you've done

2662
02:08:34,400 --> 02:08:36,480
Speaker 1: something wrong, you want to destroy the evidence as quick

2663
02:08:36,520 --> 02:08:39,640
Speaker 1: as possible. There maybe you want to remove suspicion by

2664
02:08:39,760 --> 02:08:42,680
Speaker 1: destroying that evidence. I'm just it could be you could

2665
02:08:42,720 --> 02:08:44,320
Speaker 1: be right. I don't know. I think I might be

2666
02:08:44,440 --> 02:08:49,280
Speaker 1: right too. Maybe from what the I believe is Um Walsh,

2667
02:08:49,360 --> 02:08:52,320
Speaker 1: who is who testified in the first by Gate and

2668
02:08:52,400 --> 02:08:56,520
Speaker 1: so that he was told that the Patriots advised these

2669
02:08:56,960 --> 02:09:00,800
Speaker 1: these people that were taking the videotape, if they were confronted,

2670
02:09:01,040 --> 02:09:03,920
Speaker 1: to tell them that where they were filming for a show,

2671
02:09:04,080 --> 02:09:07,160
Speaker 1: and to encourage them to try to delete the video.

2672
02:09:07,320 --> 02:09:12,440
Speaker 1: So yeah, again, if you're right, then yeah, the Patriots

2673
02:09:12,520 --> 02:09:15,800
Speaker 1: are in serious trouble here. But that was what twelve

2674
02:09:15,920 --> 02:09:20,040
Speaker 1: years ago, right seven. I don't yeah, I think there's

2675
02:09:20,320 --> 02:09:22,920
Speaker 1: I don't think these are the these are for one

2676
02:09:22,960 --> 02:09:24,520
Speaker 1: of them. I think I read was like and not

2677
02:09:24,640 --> 02:09:27,200
Speaker 1: even a Patriots employee. It was just like a guy

2678
02:09:27,240 --> 02:09:30,960
Speaker 1: that picked up in Cincinnati to shoot video. Teams are

2679
02:09:31,080 --> 02:09:33,240
Speaker 1: doing this kind of thing all over the league, shooting

2680
02:09:33,360 --> 02:09:36,920
Speaker 1: feature stories about scouts and employees on the road. Um,

2681
02:09:37,640 --> 02:09:40,000
Speaker 1: it's not unusual for that to be done. It's done

2682
02:09:40,040 --> 02:09:42,720
Speaker 1: all the time, it's done every week. Um, where do

2683
02:09:42,840 --> 02:09:46,120
Speaker 1: they have a malicious intent? If so, then yeah, crack

2684
02:09:46,200 --> 02:09:48,040
Speaker 1: down on nail them. I just think it's a it's

2685
02:09:48,040 --> 02:09:50,560
Speaker 1: a reach. I don't think there's any real evidence that's

2686
02:09:50,600 --> 02:09:52,800
Speaker 1: the case, and I certainly I do not want to

2687
02:09:52,840 --> 02:09:55,120
Speaker 1: subscribe to a conspiracy theory. Go ahead, we get We're

2688
02:09:55,120 --> 02:09:56,640
Speaker 1: almost out of time here, christ I was gonna say,

2689
02:09:56,640 --> 02:09:59,320
Speaker 1: I think I think, you know, as a diehard NFL fan,

2690
02:09:59,600 --> 02:10:01,360
Speaker 1: I think all of us hope that this isn't true,

2691
02:10:01,400 --> 02:10:06,200
Speaker 1: because really, just it just undermines the entire project. If

2692
02:10:06,240 --> 02:10:09,200
Speaker 1: it's true. Yeah, religion we have, Yeah, I get you.

2693
02:10:09,360 --> 02:10:12,240
Speaker 1: Thank you, Okay, thanks Chris, Yeah that was reasonable. Do

2694
02:10:12,280 --> 02:10:13,960
Speaker 1: you have anything you'd like to add, Steve? Since this

2695
02:10:14,120 --> 02:10:16,240
Speaker 1: is such a hot item for it's interesting, what would

2696
02:10:16,480 --> 02:10:19,160
Speaker 1: do you believe would pique your interests? Nineteen sixty nine?

2697
02:10:19,160 --> 02:10:22,920
Speaker 1: Do you think Neil Armstrong really stepped on the moon? Yes?

2698
02:10:23,040 --> 02:10:25,560
Speaker 1: I do? You do? You sure? What do you? What

2699
02:10:25,680 --> 02:10:27,680

2700
02:10:27,880 --> 02:10:29,560
Speaker 1: like go, oh my gosh, they're doing it again. I

2701
02:10:29,600 --> 02:10:32,360
Speaker 1: guess the video see what they got from the video?

2702
02:10:32,360 --> 02:10:34,120
Speaker 1: If it's of any value and how much of a

2703
02:10:34,160 --> 02:10:36,480
Speaker 1: focus there was on that video as opposed to the

2704
02:10:36,600 --> 02:10:38,680
Speaker 1: story they were assigned to shoot. That would be, that

2705
02:10:38,720 --> 02:10:42,960
Speaker 1: would be a deal breaker or deal maker? Armstrong? What

2706
02:10:44,160 --> 02:10:46,880
Speaker 1: I vote? Yes, we got a break here, We're coming back.

2714
02:11:20,360 --> 02:11:23,320
Speaker 1: Sunday in Pittsburgh, said, an amazing running at thirty nine

2715
02:11:23,400 --> 02:11:25,000
Speaker 1: years here at William and Mary, and he made a

2716
02:11:25,080 --> 02:11:28,040
Speaker 1: point of giving young coaches a chance in the William

2717
02:11:28,080 --> 02:11:31,440
Speaker 1: and Mary system. Here's what he told us, or what

2718
02:11:31,600 --> 02:11:34,840
Speaker 1: I told him right early on, that if I'm not

2719
02:11:35,000 --> 02:11:36,720
Speaker 1: giving you a lot of work to do, a lot

2720
02:11:36,760 --> 02:11:38,840
Speaker 1: of extra things to do, a lot of other things

2721
02:11:38,880 --> 02:11:41,240
Speaker 1: to do, then you better look around and you probably

2722
02:11:41,280 --> 02:11:44,400
Speaker 1: won't be here very long. Yeah, you know now, and

2723
02:11:44,640 --> 02:11:46,960
Speaker 1: I wanted people that had initiative. I want a guy

2724
02:11:47,120 --> 02:11:50,720
Speaker 1: that would, you know, work the extra bit and keep

2725
02:11:50,760 --> 02:11:53,360
Speaker 1: on going and keep a positive, positive attitude and get

2726
02:11:53,400 --> 02:11:56,960
Speaker 1: thanks done, you know, without you know, complaining and stuff

2727
02:11:57,000 --> 02:11:59,560
Speaker 1: like that. And you know, well, Sean worked with me

2728
02:11:59,640 --> 02:12:02,800
Speaker 1: for you playing, and it wentn't question in my mind

2729
02:12:02,880 --> 02:12:04,680
Speaker 1: he was gonna be a great coach. I mean, he had,

2730
02:12:04,920 --> 02:12:08,440
Speaker 1: he had what it took, attention to detail and you know,

2731
02:12:09,000 --> 02:12:11,680
Speaker 1: everything like that. But yeah, that was probably the biggest

2732
02:12:11,680 --> 02:12:13,000
Speaker 1: thing I tell him. I said, you know, hey, if

2733
02:12:13,000 --> 02:12:15,160
Speaker 1: you don't, you're not getting a lot of stuff. Yeah.

2734
02:12:15,160 --> 02:12:17,320
Speaker 1: If you think you're getting too much things, too many

2735
02:12:17,360 --> 02:12:19,160
Speaker 1: extra things to do, that's a good thing. Now just

2736
02:12:19,360 --> 02:12:22,720
Speaker 1: keep doing it. Jimmy Laycock, former coach for Sean mcdermoy,

2737

Speaker 1: and Mike Thomlin. Also on the show. Kyle Brand from

2738
02:12:24,680 --> 02:12:27,800
Speaker 1: NFL Network. He said, hey, don't confuse yourself, Bills fans.

2739
02:12:27,880 --> 02:12:30,920
Speaker 1: That was not a moral victory against the Ravens last Sunday.

2740
02:12:30,960 --> 02:12:35,400
Speaker 1: Here's what Kyle Brand said. I smelled that the second

2741
02:12:35,440 --> 02:12:39,000
Speaker 1: that game was over, what are people saying that that

2742
02:12:39,160 --> 02:12:41,720
Speaker 1: was a good day for the Bills? That well, gee,

2743
02:12:42,080 --> 02:12:44,280
Speaker 1: Lamar didn't run all over us, and only a couple

2744
02:12:44,360 --> 02:12:47,240
Speaker 1: of our players got immortalized and gift harm. So maybe

2745
02:12:47,320 --> 02:12:49,720
Speaker 1: we survived it, and maybe the Bills are No, that

2746
02:12:49,880 --> 02:12:52,800
Speaker 1: was a bad day. You lost at home to a

2747
02:12:52,880 --> 02:12:55,480
Speaker 1: team that really matters, and we talked to us all year,

2748
02:12:55,920 --> 02:12:59,240
Speaker 1: big boy games, adults, table games. I don't want to

2749
02:12:59,320 --> 02:13:02,120
Speaker 1: hear that they tough against against Baltimore. I don't want

2750
02:13:02,120 --> 02:13:04,440
Speaker 1: to hear that they help against the eighty five Bears,

2751
02:13:04,480 --> 02:13:07,080
Speaker 1: the ninety one Bills, whoever it is. They should win

2752
02:13:07,200 --> 02:13:09,240
Speaker 1: that game, and if they don't, it should be a

2753
02:13:09,320 --> 02:13:12,640
Speaker 1: big setback, because again it's a question of goals. It's

2754
02:13:12,720 --> 02:13:15,160
Speaker 1: not the goal to get to the playoffs. Goes to

2755
02:13:15,240 --> 02:13:18,240
Speaker 1: win playoff games, and they lost the playoff team this year.

2756
02:13:18,280 --> 02:13:19,880
Speaker 1: So I'm not having me. I don't like that smell,

2757
02:13:19,920 --> 02:13:22,240
Speaker 1: and I want to smell it again. I don't like that.

2758
02:13:22,920 --> 02:13:24,960
Speaker 1: A good show for me. I got falsely accused of

2759
02:13:25,080 --> 02:13:27,800
Speaker 1: being a moral victory guy and falsely accused of being

2760
02:13:27,840 --> 02:13:32,560
Speaker 1: a patriot sympathized. I'm doing the closet patriots sympathizer. Not

2761
02:13:32,680 --> 02:13:34,800
Speaker 1: the case at all. That's right, all right, good show

2762

Speaker 1: coming up tomorrow. Chris Brown will join us from the
