62
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 1: try it. It is like the look of the steaks

00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:59,079
Speaker 1: so much. It's good. One of our crew, why do

Speaker 1: it smells like steak in here. What the's o? What? Yeah?

68
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,519
Speaker 1: I got chewing it up. Yeah, anyway, we'll chat. That's it.

69
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 1: I'm let me tell you something. I'm kind of happy

70
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 1: about the eat Right people because it's always a challenge

71
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 1: for it. We go on at noon and it's a

72
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 1: little too really eat lunch. But by the time we

73
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 1: get off it's three, so you know you've lost. We

74
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:32,240
Speaker 1: had an issue. Eat Right is the official game sponsor.

75
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 1: They provide food actually for Bill's players right upstairs. Yeah,

76
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 1: you know, they provided for players to take home to

77
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 1: make sure they eat right. Man, Man, how things have changed?

78
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 1: What do you mean? When I got here in nineteen

79
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 1: eighty six, it was like November, right, November eighth, Yeah,

80
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty six. So we go out and there was

81
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 1: no cafeteria, lunch room. They didn't put what happened was

82
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 1: back in the day and you get there in the

83
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 1: morning and everybody chips in like five bucks and they can't.

84
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 1: This is the truth, is an absolute truth. The kicker

85
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:08,119
Speaker 1: and the punter during practice, during morning meetings would take off,

86
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 1: go down to whatever sandwich shop they said they were

87
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 1: going to go to that day, get like fifty sandwiches

88
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:17,040
Speaker 1: and bring them back. And that was lunch for everybody, right, true.

89
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 1: So then so you're having lunch, So then everybody goes out.

90
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 1: We go out in practice. Right. So you're out there

91
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:23,720
Speaker 1: practice and stuff, and you know it's like November, right,

92
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 1: so it's cold and you're out there in practicing for

93
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:27,359
Speaker 1: two hours and guys are working out there. You know,

94
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 1: it's an active day. So you're working out, you're practicing,

95
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 1: you're in meetings. You have a quick sandwich for lunch whatever,

96
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 1: you go out and after practice you come in and

97
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 1: remember Hojo Hojo Jojo would cook a big pot of

98
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 1: soup equipment. Yeah, so we'd all get over there and

99
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 1: later like a cup you get like little paper dixie

100
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:48,599
Speaker 1: cup and get some soup after practice, has something to

101
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 1: eat because guys were you know, you're starving. I mean

102
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 1: you're absolutely starving. Guys would would plow through a big

103
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:57,280
Speaker 1: vat of soup that he would just heat up right

104
00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 1: in the locker room, just a little hot plate. Sure

105
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 1: that was all healthy. And things have change, Murph, they

106
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 1: have for the better, right, Oh my gosh. Well, it's

107
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 1: just it's funny. We were talking about this yesterday. I

108
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 1: guess with the crew about were you here last Friday? No?

109
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 1: Were you? I can't remember? Uh no, because I had there.

110
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,600
Speaker 1: There's a story about Major League Baseball has decided they

111
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:20,279
Speaker 1: want to look hard and maybe eliminate some lower level

112
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 1: minor league baseball franchises just because they're not sure that

113
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:25,559
Speaker 1: they mostly because they're not sure that the young players

114
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:29,040
Speaker 1: are getting the proper care. You know that the structure,

115
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 1: three am bus rides and fast food. You know, a

116
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 1: diet composed of fast food when you're you know, when

117
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 1: you're playing in short season, single A or older. Those kids,

118
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 1: well they're in nineteen twenty twenty one, and and I

119
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 1: think the feeling and believe me, I have mixed I

120
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 1: am mixed feelings about this because I love going to

121
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:49,160
Speaker 1: Batavia Muckdogs games or you know the history of minor

122
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 1: league baseball, but if you're Major League baseball and these

123
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 1: are your assets, these players, um, they should be taken

124
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:57,480
Speaker 1: better care of, right. They should eat well, they should

125
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:00,280
Speaker 1: get sleep. They shouldn't be on a bus until in

126
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:02,599
Speaker 1: the morning. About the balance they're trying to strike. You

127
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 1: want to get these kids some games. You want to

128
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 1: see them play, You want to see them develop their skills.

129
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 1: But they're playing and like a twenties they're nineteen years old.

130
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:13,839
Speaker 1: You can't. The money is not there for them to

131
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 1: go out and cater food for these guys on a

132
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 1: twenty seven hour bus rider or a nine hour bus rider,

133
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 1: an eight hour bus ride to another team. Plus they're

134
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 1: nineteen years old. They're not in college where they come from.

135
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:30,160
Speaker 1: Who's mentoring them off the field? Outside the lines? You know?

136
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:33,600
Speaker 1: I mean, they're they're kids, right, and it's they're gonna

137
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 1: go out and they're what are they going to get

138
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:37,719
Speaker 1: in too? Accept trouble? Well and here, you know, and

139
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:41,040
Speaker 1: restrain yourself from taking a shout at baseball here if

140
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 1: you will will But there's kind of a romanticized Bull

141
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:48,360
Speaker 1: Durham view of minor league baseball. Isn't this quaint? Isn't

142
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 1: this cool? Look at these guys living, you know, kind

143
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 1: of a subsistence level and drinking beers every night and

144
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 1: hanging out with each other and living, you know, and

145
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:01,599
Speaker 1: maybe not the greatest places. It's romanticized thanks to Bull

146
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 1: Durham and other movies in fiction, but maybe maybe the

147
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,920
Speaker 1: folks are Major League Baseball said, hey, these are these

148
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 1: are this is our future. These are our assets. You know,

149
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 1: we got to develop them better. How do we get

150
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 1: out of this? Oh they eat right food thing? And

151
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 1: how it's changed over the years. Yeah, it probably is

152
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 1: a smart way to do it. Yeah, And and I'll

153
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 1: say this, the NFL is the eight hundred pound guerrilla

154
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 1: on the American sports landscape, right. So the money's there

155
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 1: and it things have changed incrementally as the money has

156
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 1: gotten bigger and bigger. Certainly there are some franchises who

157
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 1: are exceptions to the rule where they don't do as

158
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 1: good a job as others do. But you've got a

159
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 1: building here, and I know this. They feed these guys.

160
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 1: They have people to train these guys. They have coaches

161
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 1: and people on staff in the building that are making

162
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 1: sure these young guys, these twenty twenty two year old

163
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 1: guys are taking care of themselves. Off the field, they're

164
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 1: keeping track of them where they go, well, how they

165
00:07:57,480 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 1: use their free time. They're making sure they've got the

166
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 1: right attitude. Guys like Duke Williams, who earlier in his

167
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 1: life when he was in college, struggled outside the building.

168
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 1: You know, they got people in the building now that

169
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 1: are trying to give these guys some tools and some

170
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 1: coping mechanisms, because, let's face it, you come out of college,

171
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 1: you're just hoping. Most people are hoping to get a

172
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 1: good job so they can have a nice place in

173
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 1: a place they want to live, and all that and

174
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 1: doing the all this stuff, and all of a sudden,

175
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 1: you jump, you dump seven figures in these kids laps

176
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 1: and turn them loose. That's crazy. You know, the league

177
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 1: has done a much better job, and some teams better

178
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 1: than others, are doing a really much better job of

179
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:41,199
Speaker 1: making sure these guys have a plan for their future

180
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:43,440
Speaker 1: and what they're gonna do in the offseason, where they're

181
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 1: gonna go, how they're gonna live, who they're gonna work

182
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 1: out with, how they're gonna eat, who's gonna take care

183
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:49,719
Speaker 1: of them. The league does a bunch of better job

184
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 1: of keeping track of those guys. And mentoring them away

185
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 1: from when they're you know, in this building. You know,

186
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:59,120
Speaker 1: they they're under the thumb of of everybody there. They've

187
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 1: got them in this build, but once they go home,

188
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 1: it's a whole different story. So they've got done a

189
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 1: better job of that. But that all comes, like you said,

190
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 1: murk from money. Yeah, and you get these kids in

191
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 1: minor league baseball on a bus trip from I don't know,

192
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 1: from the Batavia muck Dogs to who do they Odeonta?

193
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:18,320
Speaker 1: And they're on a bus and they go down. They're

194
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:23,720
Speaker 1: staying in right or Motel twenty three, you know, Motel

195
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:25,960
Speaker 1: six would be an upgrade. Right, They're staying on the

196
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:29,719
Speaker 1: on the shoestring budget. And here, kid, here's here's your

197
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 1: per diem, here's fifteen bucks. Go get a bag of

198
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 1: food someplace. Right, I mean, that's what they're and and

199
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:38,560
Speaker 1: now they're supposed to be professional athletes. I can see

200
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 1: why baseball might reject that, say we can do better,

201
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 1: they can do better. Well, you know, are they are

202
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:45,960
Speaker 1: they gonna take care of the guys physically and mentally

203
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:48,319
Speaker 1: or are they going to give them games to play? Right? Right?

204
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 1: You know what I mean, that's the balance that's a

205
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:53,319
Speaker 1: hard it's a hard problem. Hey, we're not here to

206
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 1: talk baseball because Steve, Steve would talk baseball all day long.

207
00:09:56,840 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 1: If you let you eat with this guy, he'd sit

208
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 1: there and talk about the nineteen nineteen Black Sox scandal.

209
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 1: This guy would tell you about murderers Row, he'd talk

210
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 1: about the Gashouse gang. Because he's a walking twenty seventy. Yeah,

211
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:14,599
Speaker 1: talking repository of baseball lore. We're not gonna do with

212
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 1: deal with that today. We're gonna talk about the bills.

213
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 1: We told you the gas lineup. It's a good one.

214
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:20,200
Speaker 1: I Greece about the Eagles. Chris Brown, we're going to

215
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 1: practice in a minute or two. Mike Garafalo of the

216
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:24,440
Speaker 1: NFL Network's going to join us. Yeah, we got we

217
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 1: got a pretty good show coming up here today. What's

218
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:28,719
Speaker 1: going on around here? Not much practice just started a

219
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 1: minute ago. Yesterday's practice report included no practice for a

220
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:34,840
Speaker 1: couple of guys, including Pat to Marco with his ankle.

221
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 1: It was just a rest date for John Brown. Kurt

222
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:41,320
Speaker 1: Coleman did not practice with his U with a hamstring issue,

223
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 1: and Quentin Spain did not practice with a foot. A

224
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:46,560
Speaker 1: limited practice for several others. We'll get a word from

225
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:48,679
Speaker 1: Chris Brown here coming up in a minute or two

226
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 1: from the practice field about what's going on out there today,

227
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:53,679
Speaker 1: and of course the official injury report comes out a

228
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 1: little bit a little bit later on UM. We've talked

229
00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 1: a lot this week about the the trade deadline next

230
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 1: Tuesday four pm. And this necessarily is not a trade,

231
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:05,679
Speaker 1: but an interesting move and this is going to get

232
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 1: us to discussion about our Twitter poll today. But Patriots

233
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:13,320
Speaker 1: put Josh Gordon, wide receiver, talented wide receiver, talented and

234
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 1: formerly troubled wide receiver on injured reserve. He's done in

235
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:18,720
Speaker 1: New England. He had been playing through a left knee injury.

236
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:21,600
Speaker 1: Knocked out of the team's October ten win over the Giants.

237
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 1: Injured his knee. His season with the Patriots is over,

238
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:27,079
Speaker 1: but he could play somewhere else. The Patriots put him

239
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 1: on the minor injured reserve designation, which means they have

240
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:32,720
Speaker 1: to release him once he returns to health. Now, if

241
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 1: that happens after Tuesday's trade deadline, Gordon would be subject

242
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 1: to waivers. Any team could put on the claim for him,

243
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 1: and he could be in a roster very shortly and

244
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 1: people immediately, those who think the Bills need to add

245
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:46,439
Speaker 1: a receiver point to Josh Gordon. It's something we'll talk

246
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 1: with Mike Carol follow about. I don't know what to

247
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:50,720
Speaker 1: think about this. I don't I honestly, Steve, this is

248
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 1: a guy who Josh Gordon, who has had a troubled pass,

249
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:56,559
Speaker 1: seems to have pulled his act together into England. That's

250
00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:58,600
Speaker 1: what all the reports are coming out of New England

251
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:00,839
Speaker 1: ared that he's been a good citizen and a pretty

252
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:04,440
Speaker 1: good teammate. Yeah, it's it's interesting. I don't know if

253
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:06,840
Speaker 1: we're going to be asked. I'm sure are the Bills interested?

254
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 1: Should they be interested? I don't know what the right

255
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 1: answer is about that, do you no, they'll kick the tires.

256
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 1: I mean, they'll find out what he's doing, what he did,

257
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:15,360
Speaker 1: and if they as much as they can, they'll ask

258
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 1: the Patriots about him. And the Patriots have got people

259
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 1: on their staff like the Bills do here of you know,

260
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 1: trying to keep guy help guys off the field. You know.

261
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 1: Josh Gordon also voluntarily left the team last year to

262
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 1: get his life together. That's after he had had some

263
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 1: success there. And now he's back and he was trying

264
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,439
Speaker 1: to contribute. Had an injury, no question about it, but

265
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:39,440
Speaker 1: seemed to be I don't know about thriving. I couldn't

266
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:42,120
Speaker 1: go that far, but seemed to be contributing to the

267
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 1: Patriots in a big way. Now their defense is what's

268
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:48,800
Speaker 1: carrying them, but certainly to get rid of a guy

269
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:51,600
Speaker 1: with a talent level of Josh Gordon says something about

270
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:54,560
Speaker 1: where the Patriots are as an offense and also or

271
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 1: maybe something about where Josh Gordon is. I don't know

272
00:12:57,160 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 1: which one it is. It's interesting because folks, as you know,

273
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 1: that guy can play, but getting him on the field

274
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,840
Speaker 1: is the issue, right And will you know, I'm sure

275
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:12,439
Speaker 1: that there'll be some inquiries made about, you know what

276
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 1: kind of physical not physical condition, although that's a part

277
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:18,439
Speaker 1: of it because of his injury. But where is he at? Mentally?

278
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 1: What happened in New England? Why did they put him

279
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:24,880
Speaker 1: on this designated room? Did they did the trade they

280
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:27,200
Speaker 1: made the other day for and I can't remember the

281
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 1: receiving Mohammed Sanou make Josh Gordon expendable? Do they like

282
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:35,959
Speaker 1: Sanu better? Is it just because he's a better locker

283
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 1: room guy? Is Josh Gordon still dealing with the demons

284
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:42,200
Speaker 1: every single day, and is it in his way? As

285
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 1: it getting in his way? Did they just barely keep

286
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 1: him inside the lines in New England? If they can

287
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 1: find all that out, that'll say a lot about how

288
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 1: interested the bills are. Probably so it is interesting the

289
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:58,720
Speaker 1: guy's talent, a talent and his problems that have kept

290
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 1: him off the field, murph or his own problem there,

291
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 1: his internal demons there, you know, is drug addiction, it's problems,

292
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 1: you know, it's emotional things, it's demons he's dealing with.

293
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:11,319
Speaker 1: It's you know, uh, whether it's picking friend, picking the

294
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 1: right friends, stand away from marijuana, stand away from any

295
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 1: other things. I don't know, but they seem to be internalized.

296
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 1: It's not like, you know, he has domestic violence issues.

297
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 1: It's not like he has uh brushes with the law.

298
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 1: It's not like he has all this other stuff going on.

299
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 1: It's it's internal stuff for him that he's dealt with

300
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 1: in his own life that he's still dealing with right

301
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:32,800
Speaker 1: so that, you know, that makes it a little bit

302
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:34,200
Speaker 1: more of a cuts, a little bit more of a

303
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 1: sympathetic figure, particularly since he's owned up to it now.

304
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:42,080
Speaker 1: But you know, because of his great talent and the

305
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 1: success he's had with it one for organization already, at

306
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 1: least superficially. You think, what's the deal? You know? And

307
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 1: I think that's probably where the bills are at right now. Hey,

308
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 1: you know what, I know, I did that too. I

309
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 1: was looking at We've been sitting next to each other

310
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 1: for like three hours and we're just trying to avoid this.

311
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:05,400
Speaker 1: I know you're gonna change no, sorry, all right, Well,

312
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 1: we don't normally go out of the house thinking what

313
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:09,200
Speaker 1: Steve weren today. I want to wear the exact same thing,

314
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 1: just one more serendipitous way. This show is going to

315
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 1: be great. Shows how close we are it really does

316
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 1: we dress a light? Now? All right, we can talk

317
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 1: about Josh Gordon. We want to get you involved in

318
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 1: today's Twitter poll. It's it's a pretty good one. And look,

319
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:25,840
Speaker 1: the trade deadline is coming up Tuesday. We know that,

320
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 1: and Josh Gordon is going to be out there. It

321
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 1: appears we know that steps forward for the Buffalo offense.

322
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:33,360
Speaker 1: And how much of a step forward do they need?

323
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 1: That's a question we've put out there a little bit

324
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:37,960
Speaker 1: right now, did you know the Buffalo offense is ranked

325
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 1: seventeenth and they are twenty second in points scored per game.

326
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 1: They average twenty points per game. They should get better.

327
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 1: They expect to get better. They're trying to get better.

328
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 1: But what's the most important step forward for the Buffalo offense?

329
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 1: That is our Twitter poll today. Love to hear from

330
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:53,440

00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:58,880
Speaker 1: call one eight eight eight five fifty two five fifty.

333
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 1: What's the most important step forward for the Bills offense?

334
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 1: Our Twitter pole you can vote in. We've got more

335
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 1: than five hundred votes in already, and seventy two percent

336
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:11,040
Speaker 1: of you say limit critical mistakes, turnovers, penalties, pre snap penalties,

337
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:14,280
Speaker 1: drop passes seventy two percent. Almost three quarters of you

338
00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:17,000
Speaker 1: say limit critical mistakes would be the most important step

339
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:20,080
Speaker 1: forward they could take. Thirteen percent say acquire more talent.

340
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:22,400
Speaker 1: Let's get you in the next Tuesday's trade deadline and

341
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:26,480
Speaker 1: maybe into Josh Gordon. Ten percent say just wait, continuity

342
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:29,520
Speaker 1: is coming. You know the pieces are falling into place.

343
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 1: The offensive line has been pretty solid through the first

344
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:35,000
Speaker 1: six games this season. Just wait. Five percent of something

345
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:36,600
Speaker 1: else in mind, Let's hear it from you. Eight h

346
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:39,200
Speaker 1: three five fifty toll free one eight eight eight five

347
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:41,400
Speaker 1: fifty two five. I take on those percentages. If you

348
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 1: take the weight continuity is coming and limit critical mistakes,

349
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:47,040
Speaker 1: you put those into put those into one. Eighty two

350
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 1: percent of bills fans think, you know what, it's about us.

351
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 1: It's not about getting more talent. It's not about doing

352
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 1: this other getting a trade. It's not about it. It's

353
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 1: about us limiting our mistakes and just coming together better

354
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:00,120
Speaker 1: than we have in the beginning. Eighty two percent of

355
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:03,280
Speaker 1: the people think we've got enough in the house right

356
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:04,960
Speaker 1: now to get it done if they could just limit

357
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:06,640
Speaker 1: the mistake. But let me take give you this take.

358
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:08,160
Speaker 1: And then the first thing that occurred to me when

359
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:10,200
Speaker 1: I looked at those numbers, and again it's only it's

360
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 1: only a twitter, Paul, and it's only five votes. But

361
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:16,720
Speaker 1: ten percent, only ten percent of the respondents say just wait,

362
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:19,000
Speaker 1: continuity is on the way. In other words, ninety percent

363
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 1: say let's do something. Let's go out and get somebody,

364
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:24,239
Speaker 1: or let's make proactive moves with the group. They have

365
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:27,639
Speaker 1: to limit penalties and turnovers, all right, but ninety percent

366
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 1: want something to happen now, which is good that's healthy, right.

367
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:32,800
Speaker 1: Ninety percent say no, I don't just want to wait

368
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 1: for continuity. I don't just want to wait for the

369
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:37,200
Speaker 1: pieces to fall in place and for these all these

370
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 1: brand new starters to get accustomed to each other. Ninety

371
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:41,840
Speaker 1: percent say no, let's move, let's get better on offense.

372
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:43,880
Speaker 1: And I think that's important too. Different way to look

373
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:46,200
Speaker 1: at it. I get you, and you're right, I mean,

374
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:49,920
Speaker 1: I think this people would love to see. I think

375
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:51,680
Speaker 1: at this point I'm kind of with a seventy two

376
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:53,840
Speaker 1: percent of people who think, you know, just to limit

377
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:57,240
Speaker 1: the mistakes and turnovers, because I would love to see

378
00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 1: this offense as it's current constructed, play a mistake or

379
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 1: relatively mistake free game and see what this engine can do.

380
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:12,679
Speaker 1: They're getting closer to one turnover in the last two games,

381
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:14,879
Speaker 1: and they won by ten, scored thirty one, although you

382
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:17,479
Speaker 1: know only twenty four of it was offense. You know,

383
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 1: that's that's we've talked about it. We were they were

384
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:25,400
Speaker 1: averaging eighteen points a game through all that time, and

385
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:30,600
Speaker 1: really playoff caliber Super Bowl contenders average twenty four points

386
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:32,680
Speaker 1: or more a game, right about twenty four and a

387
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:36,040
Speaker 1: half points. Well, they got twenty four offensively this last week.

388
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 1: We want they said they needed. We were talking about

389
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:41,000
Speaker 1: them needing just two more field goals is all they needed,

390
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:43,359
Speaker 1: and that's what they got, you know, And I think

391
00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 1: there's more under the hood than they showed this last week.

392
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:47,920
Speaker 1: You gotta drop by Dawson Knox. You got some penalties

393
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:50,719
Speaker 1: that took good plays off the off the off the board.

394
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:54,880
Speaker 1: You know you've got uh you know, Cole Beasley getting missed.

395
00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:57,080
Speaker 1: John Brownie's missing John brown On. And then we got

396
00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:58,920
Speaker 1: a couple of deep balls that we can't hit yet.

397
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:01,120
Speaker 1: You know, we got guys i'd open on the deep

398
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:03,240
Speaker 1: ball once in a while. The Josh is having trouble hitting,

399
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:07,240
Speaker 1: I'd love to hit on all cylinders. Yeah. I see

400
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:09,280
Speaker 1: what this offensive look and I'd like to to see him

401
00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:10,600
Speaker 1: do it against a good team like Philly. And I

402
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:12,919
Speaker 1: think this team three and four aside, I think it's

403
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:14,919
Speaker 1: a good team. Yeah, Because I'll tell you what, folks,

404
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:17,199
Speaker 1: when you start looking at Philly, you started it too, right,

405
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:21,679
Speaker 1: you and I've started looking at Philly. Philly's in the

406
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:24,000
Speaker 1: same boat. They've been turning it over and every time

407
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:26,040
Speaker 1: every time they've lost the game, all four losses, they

408
00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:30,239
Speaker 1: turn it over. That's been their problem. So you're you know,

409
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:31,679
Speaker 1: what are we looking at here? This is not going

410
00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:33,440
Speaker 1: to be a cakewalk. If they don't turn it over,

411
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:35,679
Speaker 1: they're hard to beat. They're two years out of a

412
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:39,160
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. So if the Bills could get to that point,

413
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:41,440
Speaker 1: I think this, You know this is a good team.

414
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:44,199
Speaker 1: Ye all right, we'll get to this. Uh well, this

415
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 1: question and your phone calls and we'll read some of

416
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:48,240
Speaker 1: your tweets on the tweet sheet. What's the most important

417
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 1: step forward with the Buffalo Bills offense? Let us know

418
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 1: what you think. Phone calls coming up, But we're gonna

419
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:54,199
Speaker 1: take a break here and when we come back, we're

426
00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:28,560
Speaker 1: We continue, we continue to make changes, and we decided

427
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:30,520
Speaker 1: to stand the segment. Can we get away with us?

428
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:33,400
Speaker 1: I think so, let's try it. You're watching, if you're

429
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:36,480
Speaker 1: listening on the radio, you don't give it a darn.

430
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:40,760
Speaker 1: We're sitting here, standing or anything else you're watching on TV.

431
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:43,639
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna apologize. We'll see if this works, plus it,

432
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:46,000
Speaker 1: etcet joints effect. We had the same costume on today.

433
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:50,000
Speaker 1: Not a costume, it's a uniform. It's show business. It's

434
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:52,959
Speaker 1: one Bill's live uniform. We got mister show business standing by.

435
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,400
Speaker 1: He is the Bill's insider at Buffalo bills dot com

436
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 1: and he covers practice for us on Wednesdays and Thursdays.

437
00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:00,760
Speaker 1: Standing by live outdoors with a bill around the practice

438
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:03,760
Speaker 1: field is our main Chris Brown, Hello, Chris Brown, you

439
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:09,800
Speaker 1: have the same no you've been afternoon guys. Hey, welcome Chris. Hey.

440
00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:11,879
Speaker 1: We want I'm talking about who's practicing who's not, But

441
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:13,639
Speaker 1: I don't want to get hung up on that. This

442
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:16,560
Speaker 1: to me is an intriguing matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles,

443
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:19,040
Speaker 1: and um, it's gonna take a lot to beat them,

444
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:23,000
Speaker 1: I think, don't you. Yeah. I think this is a

445
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:26,280
Speaker 1: team that can rise up and has the talent level

446
00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:28,760
Speaker 1: to compete with just about anybody in the league. So

447
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 1: you really don't know what you're gonna get, necessarily from

448
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:35,240
Speaker 1: an Eagles team that is largely underachieved this season due

449
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:39,120
Speaker 1: in part to the enormous number of injuries that they

450
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:42,920
Speaker 1: have sustained, whether it's DeShawn Jackson, their primary deep threat

451
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:45,200
Speaker 1: on the offensive side of the ball, or a slew

452
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:48,480
Speaker 1: of injuries at the defensive tackle position, which includes Malik

453
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:53,320
Speaker 1: Jackson who's on IR and Tim Jernegan. So they're in

454
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 1: a situation, guys where on the defensive line this week

455
00:21:56,640 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to start one of the two players

456
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:04,240
Speaker 1: they signed off practice squads on Monday and Tuesday. One

457
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:06,440
Speaker 1: of those guys is going to have to start next

458
00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:08,960
Speaker 1: to Fletcher Cox because they simply have no one else

459
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:12,920
Speaker 1: after putting Hassan Ridgeway on injured reserve yesterday who got

460
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:15,439
Speaker 1: injured in the Dallas game last week. One of the

461
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:18,360
Speaker 1: things he got to acknowledge though about these Philadelphi because

462
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:21,080
Speaker 1: they're still They've been good enough to play extremely well.

463
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:24,720
Speaker 1: The problem they've had has been turnovers. Offensively, Carson Wentz

464
00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:27,720
Speaker 1: when he hasn't turned it overs played really well. He's

465
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:32,879
Speaker 1: thirteen tds. I mean, the guy's still a quality quarterback.

466
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:35,199
Speaker 1: And the Eagles have been their own worst enemy in

467
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:40,680
Speaker 1: their losses right, and holding onto the football is the problem.

468
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:43,240
Speaker 1: They've lost eight fumbles this season, which is tied for

469
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:46,160
Speaker 1: fourth most in the league, and they lost two more

470
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:48,080
Speaker 1: last week, and it was one of the reasons why

471
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:50,480
Speaker 1: they were behind on the scoreboard to Dallas in a

472
00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:53,639
Speaker 1: big way early in that football game. And points allowed

473
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:56,760
Speaker 1: has been a gigantic problem for them. In six of

474
00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:59,480
Speaker 1: their seven games, they've given up twenty four points or more.

475
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:02,520
Speaker 1: Five of those twenty seven points or more, and there's

476
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:05,119
Speaker 1: a couple of thirty pointers in there as well, So

477
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:07,800
Speaker 1: they've really just got to batten down the hatches on

478
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:11,880
Speaker 1: defense and get more stops. But again, injuries have played

479
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:14,159
Speaker 1: a role in that their secondary has been beat up

480
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:17,760
Speaker 1: with injuries. Sidney Jones, a former second round pick of

481
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:21,359
Speaker 1: There's a couple of years ago who has played played

482
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:25,240
Speaker 1: early in the season and is healthy, was benched last

483
00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:28,960
Speaker 1: week for ineffectiveness and they started a couple of other players.

484
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:32,040
Speaker 1: Now those players are out with injuries, and it looks

485
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:34,199
Speaker 1: like Sidney Jones is going to have to start in

486
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:37,399
Speaker 1: the slot, which is not his primary position. So it

487
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:40,359
Speaker 1: could be a big week for Cole Beasley going against

488
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:42,239
Speaker 1: a guy who doesn't have a ton of experience in there,

489
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:44,040
Speaker 1: but they're gonna have to line him up there because

490
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:47,280
Speaker 1: their primary nickel guy, Vante Maddox doesn't look like he's

491
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:49,959
Speaker 1: ready to come back from injury. Ronald Darby was a

492
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:52,399
Speaker 1: healthy scratch last week. I mean he was healthy, he

493
00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:55,960
Speaker 1: was active, but he didn't play. So it's really interesting

494
00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:59,360
Speaker 1: to see some of the roster decisions that they've had

495
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:02,119
Speaker 1: to make do to injury and some that they've made

496
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:05,639
Speaker 1: despite having players who are healthy. They're looking for effective

497
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:07,640
Speaker 1: playback there and they just haven't gotten it. Chris Brown

498
00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:10,119
Speaker 1: on the sidelines at Bill's practice, Live with this right now.

499
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 1: Let's talk about the Bills for a second, and I

500
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:14,280
Speaker 1: want to see you about Josh Allen, Chris, And yeah,

501
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:17,479
Speaker 1: you've documented it. We all know it. Turnovers have been

502
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:19,600
Speaker 1: an issue for Josh in the Buffalo offense. And yet

503
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:22,040
Speaker 1: last two games he's turned it over once. Has he

504
00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:24,120
Speaker 1: turned the corners? And is there any way to tell

505
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:27,640
Speaker 1: that at this point? Yeah, I don't know if there's

506
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:29,880
Speaker 1: any way to put your finger on Yep, he's got

507
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 1: it fixed. You know, he's still a young quarterback. You know,

508
00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:34,760
Speaker 1: he's only in what what's this going to be his

509
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:39,240
Speaker 1: eighteen start of his career. Even he admitted to us yesterday,

510
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:42,199
Speaker 1: he still hasn't seen everything that defenses can throw at

511
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:45,480
Speaker 1: a young quarterback. And according to John Feliciana, who I

512
00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:50,200
Speaker 1: spoke to yesterday, opponents have thrown a ton at them

513
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:54,680
Speaker 1: defensively on purpose to try to get Josh off his game,

514
00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:57,440
Speaker 1: cross him up, get him to make a bad decision.

515
00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:00,119
Speaker 1: To his credit, as you mentioned, he's done better the

516
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:03,120
Speaker 1: last two weeks. Let's just see if he can sustain

517
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:08,440
Speaker 1: that level of discerning when to take a risk, when

518
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:10,960
Speaker 1: to hold onto it, or heck, even when to take

519
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:13,680
Speaker 1: a sack, because an eight yard loss is always better

520
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:16,640
Speaker 1: than a turnover. So I thought he did that once

521
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:19,800
Speaker 1: or twice in last week's game, where he he just

522
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:22,600
Speaker 1: took the sack and you know, the offense got to

523
00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:26,040
Speaker 1: live for another down, albeit at a bad down and distance,

524
00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:28,960
Speaker 1: but still they had the football. And I think it's

525
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:33,199
Speaker 1: those kinds of decisions, you know, where discretion is the

526
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:36,440
Speaker 1: better part of valor in his decision making. And so

527
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:38,840
Speaker 1: I think he's on the right track to making more

528
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:41,520
Speaker 1: of the right decisions more often. But I don't know

529
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:44,880
Speaker 1: if I'm ready to stamp him as he's cured of

530
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:47,960
Speaker 1: the turnover bug. It's never gonna happen again. Yeah, I'm

531
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:50,400
Speaker 1: sure it's it's gonna happen at some point. I mean

532
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:53,760
Speaker 1: that you don't go your entire career or even a

533
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:55,800
Speaker 1: month without turn it over at some point. But I

534
00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:58,679
Speaker 1: gotta ask you this. We are playing a Philadelphia Eagles

535
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:01,160
Speaker 1: team that is nicked up across the board. The Bills

536
00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:03,960
Speaker 1: have some injuries of note. Who do you think has

537
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:05,879
Speaker 1: the best chance to bounce back and be in the

538
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:08,160
Speaker 1: game this week? And who do you think will still

539
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:12,960
Speaker 1: remain out? Yeah, I mean, I'm I'm liking Kevin Johnson

540
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:16,280
Speaker 1: coming back from his stinger slash neck injury. He was

541
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:20,520
Speaker 1: in a red non contact jersey yesterday. He has shed

542
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:23,280
Speaker 1: the red non contact jersey, so hopefully that's a good sign.

543
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:26,920
Speaker 1: Who knows, we'll know after today's practice. Maybe he's even

544
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:31,920
Speaker 1: a full scale participant here today. Quentin Spain is back

545
00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:34,280
Speaker 1: in practice. He is lining up with the first units,

546
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:37,400
Speaker 1: so that's certainly an encouraging sign for him. So if

547
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:40,200
Speaker 1: that continues the rest of the week, you would expect

548
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:42,280
Speaker 1: him to be back in the lineup on Sunday and

549
00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:46,160
Speaker 1: obviously that's an important piece upfront, knowing what this Philadelphia

550
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:48,760
Speaker 1: defensive line can throw at them. So yeah, I would

551
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 1: I would probably pin it on those two guys. What

552
00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:56,040
Speaker 1: about Duke Williams still in the red non contact jersey

553
00:26:56,080 --> 00:27:01,760
Speaker 1: but practicing, so hopefully it's just a general soreness thing

554
00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:05,120
Speaker 1: where they just don't want that shoulder engaging in any

555
00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:09,280
Speaker 1: meaningful contact out here. You know, we don't really have

556
00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:12,439
Speaker 1: a long track record on Duke and his tolerance for

557
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:16,280
Speaker 1: pain because I'm I'm guessing here, but I would tend

558
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:18,359
Speaker 1: to think if he's practicing that it's really just a

559
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:22,000
Speaker 1: pain management issue. But we'll have to hear from coach

560
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:24,720
Speaker 1: after practice today to see if he can shed any

561
00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:28,359
Speaker 1: light on Duke's situation and what his prognosis is going

562
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:31,399
Speaker 1: forward here with respect to Sunday. Chris Chris Brown, by

563
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:33,760
Speaker 1: the way, Bill's inside of Buffalo bills dot Com reporting

564
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:36,600
Speaker 1: for us from the sidelines at Bill's practice today, And

565
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:38,879
Speaker 1: if you're tuned in on the MSG side, you just

566
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:42,080
Speaker 1: saw Duke Williams looked extremely healthy down the sideline with

567
00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:44,920
Speaker 1: a with a deep pass and hurt his shoulder. He

568
00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:48,520
Speaker 1: can run good? Yeah, Hey, um we talked a lot

569
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:51,400
Speaker 1: with you last week about the motor Devin Singletary coming back,

570
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:53,320
Speaker 1: wondering what his role might be. He did not have

571
00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:56,520
Speaker 1: an extensive role against Miami, He did not have a

572
00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:58,679
Speaker 1: ton of carries. Is there more to come with him

573
00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:00,280
Speaker 1: or do you think that's what we're looking at as

574
00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:02,560
Speaker 1: far as the role he plays and the work he

575
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:06,160
Speaker 1: gets in this Buffalo offense. Yeah, I think they were

576
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:09,360
Speaker 1: just easing him back into the fold last week, kind

577
00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:12,520
Speaker 1: of getting his feet wet again after barely playing two

578
00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:15,200
Speaker 1: games in his NFL career and then getting a month layoff.

579
00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:18,080
Speaker 1: That's an adjustment for a rookie to make, and so

580
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:20,240
Speaker 1: I think they just wanted to give him enough work

581
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:23,480
Speaker 1: to get back into the flow, feel the speed of

582
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:26,320
Speaker 1: the game, get his reads in a game like setting

583
00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:28,520
Speaker 1: back down with respect to the run game and reading

584
00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:31,200
Speaker 1: the blocks, and you know, I thought he did pretty

585
00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:33,399
Speaker 1: well last week, and I think if the coaching staff

586
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:36,560
Speaker 1: feels the same, well, then yes, his role should increase

587
00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:40,040
Speaker 1: and I think it will. To what degree, I'm not sure,

588
00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:42,440
Speaker 1: but I think he will see the ball a little

589
00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:44,800
Speaker 1: bit more this week. Yeah. It's interesting because as much

590
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:47,320
Speaker 1: conversation as we've had and fans have had about Devin

591
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:50,280
Speaker 1: Singletary and his contributions early. We don't know what we

592
00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:53,440
Speaker 1: got here, right, I mean, we still don't know what

593
00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:56,160
Speaker 1: Devin Singletary will do well. We've seen some flashes, but

594
00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 1: he didn't touch the ball that much before he was injured,

595
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:02,880
Speaker 1: but was really effective when he did. I still think

596
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:06,120
Speaker 1: the Bills need to find out some things about Devin Singletary,

597
00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:08,840
Speaker 1: and as much conversation, as deep as as they are

598
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:11,880
Speaker 1: into the regular season, they still have a big question

599
00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:16,400
Speaker 1: mark with the young running back. Yeah. I mean, I

600
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:18,480
Speaker 1: think they have a firm grasp with what they believe

601
00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:20,959
Speaker 1: he can be, but the proof is in the pudding

602
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:22,520
Speaker 1: and he's going to have to show it on the field,

603
00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:24,880
Speaker 1: and I think he'll get the opportunity to do that.

604
00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:28,400
Speaker 1: And that's a good thing because as much as we

605
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:31,480
Speaker 1: all respect Frank Gore, you know, I don't think a

606
00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:34,480
Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty touch season is something you want

607
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:37,840
Speaker 1: to be doing with Gore, even despite the fact that

608
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:41,280
Speaker 1: he has defied the laws of age in this league

609
00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:45,760
Speaker 1: with him now being in his fifteenth season, so I think,

610
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:49,120
Speaker 1: slowly but surely, the workload is going to kind of

611
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:53,600
Speaker 1: balance out between Gore and Singletary chiefly, and then Yeldon

612
00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:55,720
Speaker 1: after that. While we're on the topic of running back

613
00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 1: to our MST, viewers can see Patrick DeMarco out there. Chris,

614
00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:02,040
Speaker 1: he did not practice at all yesterday, right with an ankle.

615
00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:05,440
Speaker 1: Do you think that he's back full speed? Yeah, he's

616
00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:09,480
Speaker 1: back practicing today. The guys, most of the guys that

617
00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:12,720
Speaker 1: we're taking their veteran rest day a rest days are back,

618
00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:15,640
Speaker 1: including Lorenzo, Alexander and Tie and Seki. Looks like we

619
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:18,280
Speaker 1: have a couple of other veterans though, taking a rest day.

620
00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:20,720
Speaker 1: At least that's our assumption at this point. Jerry Hughes

621
00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:24,680
Speaker 1: and Star Latula are both getting the day off today.

622
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:28,040
Speaker 1: Presumably that's veteran rest days, as is Frank Gore, as

623
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:32,280
Speaker 1: is typical on Thursdays. Frank usually practices Wednesday sits Thursday,

624
00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:34,240
Speaker 1: and that is the case again here this week. Do

625
00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:37,760
Speaker 1: you think this Buffalo offense is up to taking advantage

626
00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:42,440
Speaker 1: of a Philadelphia's secondary that has been picked on quite frankly?

627
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:45,080
Speaker 1: I mean this is a defense that you know, there's

628
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:49,120
Speaker 1: been the story coming out of Philadelphia all season. Are

629
00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:51,280
Speaker 1: the Bills up to it? I mean, they had some

630
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:57,800
Speaker 1: success against the Dolphins, right, I think if you're asking

631
00:30:57,840 --> 00:31:00,360
Speaker 1: the fan base about that, they would probably say know

632
00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:04,680
Speaker 1: because big plays haven't been there with as much regularity,

633
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:07,800
Speaker 1: maybe as they anticipated going into this season. Knowing Josh

634
00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:10,440
Speaker 1: Allen's arm strength and some of the deep threats that

635
00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:14,160
Speaker 1: this offense has in its arsenal, that could change from

636
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:16,600
Speaker 1: one week to the next. I mean, as Brian Dable

637
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:19,600
Speaker 1: says all the time, every week is different with respect

638
00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:22,000
Speaker 1: to game plan, with respect to matchups and what they

639
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:25,200
Speaker 1: feel they can exploit. So if they feel they have

640
00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:29,760
Speaker 1: an injury riddled secondary in the Eagles who are susceptible

641
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:32,560
Speaker 1: to big plays. Now, they haven't given up an inordinate

642
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:34,680
Speaker 1: number of big plays, but they have given up some.

643
00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:38,720
Speaker 1: And I think if Brian Dabele and the offensive staff

644
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:41,080
Speaker 1: believe they have the horses that can run by them

645
00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:44,080
Speaker 1: and Josh can get some good chemistry in the practice

646
00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:46,960
Speaker 1: setting here this week, with those weapons, well then yeah,

647
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:48,800
Speaker 1: I think maybe they dial it up a half a

648
00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:51,680
Speaker 1: dozen times in the game instead of maybe just two

649
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:54,080
Speaker 1: or three times. One more injury to check with you,

650
00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:57,920
Speaker 1: Chrismtmilano limited yesterday with as hamstring, did not play last

651
00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:00,400
Speaker 1: week against Miami, do you see him out there, and

652
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:03,120
Speaker 1: what do you think its prospects are? Yeah, I mean

653
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:06,480
Speaker 1: he's out here running around. You know, as I said yesterday,

654
00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:10,000
Speaker 1: we know this athletic training and medical staff's history with

655
00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:13,520
Speaker 1: soft tissue injuries. They air heavily on the side of caution.

656
00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:16,760
Speaker 1: And you know, we're only two weeks removed. I guess

657
00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:18,440
Speaker 1: it will be three full weeks by the time we

658
00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:21,840
Speaker 1: get to Sunday, since Milano sustained the injury, counting the

659
00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:25,400
Speaker 1: bye week in there. So I suppose if we see

660
00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:29,560
Speaker 1: in the practice report today that he's a full participant,

661
00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:31,880
Speaker 1: that would certainly be an encouraging sign, especially if he

662
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:35,480
Speaker 1: is again on Friday. I think that would spell a

663
00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:38,160
Speaker 1: likely return for Matt Milano. But I think short of that,

664
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:41,440
Speaker 1: if he's limited throughout the week, I'd be surprised if

665
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:44,960
Speaker 1: he dresses quite frankly. And then, as we mentioned yesterday,

666
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:51,040
Speaker 1: that will trigger the importance of Corey Thompson's availability, because

667
00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:53,400
Speaker 1: if he too is unavailable, then we're back to Maurice

668
00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:56,920
Speaker 1: Alexander being backed out there with the starting bass unit.

669
00:32:56,960 --> 00:32:59,880
Speaker 1: I should also mention guys Kurt Coleman not practicing again

670
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:03,000
Speaker 1: for a second straight day with that hamstring injury, so

671
00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:06,200
Speaker 1: it's looking less and less likely that he'll be available

672
00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:09,120
Speaker 1: for special teams duty on Sunday. How about you, Chris,

673
00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:13,480
Speaker 1: you full are limited today? I'm full man, I'm ready.

674
00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:16,680
Speaker 1: Let's do it. Thanks Chris, We appreciate it. Thank you

675
00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:19,560
Speaker 1: all right, Brownie Chris Brown and always full, never limited

676
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:21,960
Speaker 1: Chris Brown Bills Inside Buffalo Bills dot Com joining us

677
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:24,800
Speaker 1: from the sidelines and practice. Look like a nice November

678
00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:27,680
Speaker 1: day today, didn't it. Problem is it's October. We're seeing

679
00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:31,320
Speaker 1: piano or radio listeners, we're watching video practice. Tremaine Edmonds

680
00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:34,880
Speaker 1: is nine feet tall. The one shot with just at

681
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:37,720
Speaker 1: the end there with Milano and Julian Stanford not a

682
00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:40,200
Speaker 1: small man walking to the side toward the camera and

683
00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:42,800
Speaker 1: there's Tremaine dwarfing both of them. They come up to

684
00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:47,600
Speaker 1: his chin. It's unbelievable. He's yeah, he's he's having a

685
00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:50,360
Speaker 1: great season and he's so important to this defense and

686
00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:53,840
Speaker 1: uh and continues to play well. But the reasons are obvious.

687
00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:57,440
Speaker 1: I mean the guys, he's a huge power forward inside

688
00:33:57,440 --> 00:34:01,200
Speaker 1: playing an inside linebacker. And that's been fun to watch

689
00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:03,000
Speaker 1: him this year. Fun to him on the show the

690
00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:04,400
Speaker 1: other day too. All right, we gotta break here. We're

691
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:06,480
Speaker 1: gonna talk about the Eagles in depth with Ike Reas,

692
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:10,319
Speaker 1: radio host, former Eagles linebacker from Philadelphia. He's coming up next.

693

697
00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:36,120
Speaker 1: the Bills and the Eagles. We got a guy on

698
00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:37,880
Speaker 1: the line and knows a lot about the Eagles, played

699
00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:40,759
Speaker 1: linebacker for him. Played for the Eagles from nineteen ninety

700
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:43,160

Speaker 1: and Reach show on WIP Radio in Philadelphia, Ike Reas

702
00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:48,440
Speaker 1: on the Linelos. Hello, like John Murphy, Steve task gr

703
00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:51,640
Speaker 1: upper in Buffalo. Thanks for joining us, John, How are

704
00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:54,160
Speaker 1: you doing? What's up? Goat? That's the greatest of all

705
00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:58,320
Speaker 1: time right there talking about you. You're waylaid me with that.

706
00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:01,680
Speaker 1: Thanks Mann. It's good. How are things in Philly? I

707
00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:04,640
Speaker 1: mean it's they're three and four and I know that

708
00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:07,120
Speaker 1: turnovers have been an issue. Now they're nicked up. Are

709
00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:10,719
Speaker 1: they gonna be able to overcome those things. Well, that's

710
00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:13,360
Speaker 1: what we're hoping for right now. I mean, slowly but surely.

711
00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:17,160
Speaker 1: They're getting guys back each week. Last week, it was

712
00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:20,320
Speaker 1: good to see Jalen Mills back out there on the field,

713
00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:22,120
Speaker 1: even though it didn't seem like it helped a whole

714
00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:25,360
Speaker 1: lot with that final score, but having his veteran presence

715
00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:28,000
Speaker 1: back out there should help Jim Schwartz out on what

716
00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:31,480
Speaker 1: he's able to call. Not sure if we're getting anybody

717
00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:34,560
Speaker 1: else back this week, right Nigel Bradham de Sean Jackson.

718
00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:37,520
Speaker 1: I still don't think they're gonna play this week. It'd

719
00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:39,439
Speaker 1: be great and we're able to get those guys back.

720
00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:43,239
Speaker 1: Avonte Maddox another young guy in our secondary who's been

721
00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:45,560
Speaker 1: out for about a month now. I don't think he's

722
00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:48,920
Speaker 1: ready to come back this week. So they're getting them

723
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:51,680
Speaker 1: back slowly but surely, but not fast enough. Man. I mean,

724
00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:55,880
Speaker 1: this team is I looked out there last week at

725
00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:58,960
Speaker 1: the film one time on defense and in the front

726
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:02,520
Speaker 1: seven outside of Derek Barnett, I don't think they had

727
00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:05,320
Speaker 1: another draft pick out there that was higher than a

728
00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:08,120
Speaker 1: six round draft pick, and most of them were undrafted

729
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:11,439
Speaker 1: free agents. And I never know how how much stock

730
00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:15,040
Speaker 1: to put in the reports of like dysfunction or you know,

731
00:36:15,080 --> 00:36:17,680
Speaker 1: players kind of sniping at each other through the media,

732
00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:20,840
Speaker 1: and how much that doesn't wouldn't fear that much of

733
00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:23,040
Speaker 1: an impact on how they played. But can you flew

734
00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:26,680
Speaker 1: us in on what that's meant this week with the Eagles. Yeah,

735
00:36:26,719 --> 00:36:30,160
Speaker 1: I don't know if I can understand how much that

736
00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:32,279
Speaker 1: may have had in impact. I know the players and

737
00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:35,040
Speaker 1: the coaches suddenly won't use it as an excuse, but

738
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:37,880
Speaker 1: you know, Steve has been in locker rooms and so

739
00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:41,120
Speaker 1: and by, and there's always, you know, something going on

740
00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:43,759
Speaker 1: behind the scenes. You know, the good teams tend to

741
00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:46,200
Speaker 1: handle it behind the scenes and it never gets out

742
00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:48,920
Speaker 1: to the public. And that's the one thing that disturbed

743
00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:52,400
Speaker 1: me a little bit last week was that, Man, it

744
00:36:52,719 --> 00:36:54,879
Speaker 1: was like, Okay, last year, you guys had to deal

745
00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:57,680
Speaker 1: with this, and now the first little bit of adversity

746
00:36:57,719 --> 00:37:00,600
Speaker 1: you guys go through, we're back to this again. People

747
00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:03,960
Speaker 1: pointing at the quarterback, people complaining about front office not

748
00:37:04,120 --> 00:37:07,040
Speaker 1: making moves, things of that nature. That just is not

749
00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:10,600
Speaker 1: a good sign for me as far as having chemistry

750
00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:13,920
Speaker 1: and everybody being locked in focused on trying to get

751
00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:16,440
Speaker 1: the small things fixed so you can get back on

752
00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:18,920
Speaker 1: the winning side of things. To me, that sort of

753
00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:23,319
Speaker 1: symbolizes I want to make sure people don't think it's

754
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:26,000
Speaker 1: me then I'm the reason that we're losing it as

755
00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:29,040
Speaker 1: somebody else. So and none of those things are ingredients

756
00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:32,240
Speaker 1: for success. Yeah, it's interesting too, because from the outside

757
00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:34,600
Speaker 1: looking in, it looks like they're not that far away.

758
00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:36,879
Speaker 1: If you cut out some turnovers, you know, they don't

759
00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:39,640
Speaker 1: drop fourteen points right off the top to Dallas, you know,

760
00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:41,400
Speaker 1: and they don't lose a couple of those other games

761
00:37:41,719 --> 00:37:44,719
Speaker 1: and when between turnovers, and because of the outside of

762
00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:48,080
Speaker 1: the injuries, Carson Wentz's still playing at a high level.

763
00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:49,920
Speaker 1: I mean, they got some guys that can put it

764
00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:54,640
Speaker 1: together without the small inconsistencies like mistakes and injury, I

765
00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:57,439
Speaker 1: mean turnovers and injuries. This is still a really good

766
00:37:57,440 --> 00:37:59,480
Speaker 1: football team. And the guys in the locker room got

767
00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:02,719
Speaker 1: to know that. Hey. Yeah, And that's that's the thing

768
00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:05,640
Speaker 1: that sort of baffle me about last week as well.

769
00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:07,560
Speaker 1: It's like, you gotta still got a lot of football

770
00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:10,279
Speaker 1: left to go. You're you're going down to Dallas for

771
00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:12,799
Speaker 1: an opportunity to take the lead in this division and

772
00:38:12,880 --> 00:38:15,800
Speaker 1: being first place, but it seems like guys are focused

773
00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:18,320
Speaker 1: on other things. I agree with you, Steve, this team

774
00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:22,400
Speaker 1: isn't that far away now. Maybe our expectations may have

775
00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:25,040
Speaker 1: been a little too lofty before the season started, thinking

776
00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:28,000
Speaker 1: it was a super Bowl caliber team. They certainly aren't

777
00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:30,560
Speaker 1: playing that way right now. But there's no reason this

778
00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:33,400
Speaker 1: team shouldn't be a playoff team and at least a

779
00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:35,759
Speaker 1: divisional winner. They just have to find a way to

780
00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:38,440
Speaker 1: get out of their way, our own way, and stop

781
00:38:38,520 --> 00:38:41,799
Speaker 1: doing the little things that cost to football games. You know,

782
00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:45,520
Speaker 1: this league is too tough to have success in when

783
00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:48,759
Speaker 1: you're basically having self afflicted wounds. And when you look

784
00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:51,719
Speaker 1: at the four losses that the Eagles have had, the

785
00:38:51,719 --> 00:38:55,759
Speaker 1: biggest storyline out of those four losses have been drop passes,

786
00:38:56,239 --> 00:39:02,080
Speaker 1: turnovers and untimely penalty that have cost you, and those

787
00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:03,799
Speaker 1: are the things that will get you beat. I mean,

788
00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:07,440
Speaker 1: that's the difference from being a good team and a

789
00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:10,840
Speaker 1: team that's a below average team. And because it's happened

790
00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:13,480
Speaker 1: more often than not, it's the reason why they're three

791
00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:16,640
Speaker 1: and four instead of five and two. Right The bright

792
00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:19,320
Speaker 1: spot on the Eagles resume so far this year was

793
00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:20,920
Speaker 1: to win at green Bay a month ago. How do

794
00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:23,960
Speaker 1: they manage to do that, to beat the Packers that way,

795
00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:29,040
Speaker 1: coming off a difficult loss against Detroit, hearing about it

796
00:39:29,120 --> 00:39:32,200
Speaker 1: for two straight days here, it being a short week

797
00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:35,239
Speaker 1: going on the road, I think the desperation sort of

798
00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:37,319
Speaker 1: set in. They certainly didn't want to fall to one

799
00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:40,440
Speaker 1: in three. Dallas was sitting at three and oh. It

800
00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:43,000
Speaker 1: was early in the season where they still certainly believe

801
00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:45,920
Speaker 1: they could be a special team. You know, this is

802
00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:48,600
Speaker 1: another test for him. I mean they're looking at three

803
00:39:48,640 --> 00:39:50,960
Speaker 1: and five right now, having to go up here to

804
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:54,440
Speaker 1: Buffalo and take on a young team that's playing very well,

805
00:39:54,680 --> 00:39:58,239
Speaker 1: especially at home, a team that doesn't beat themselves, a

806
00:39:58,280 --> 00:40:01,279
Speaker 1: team that really allows teams to go out and keep

807
00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:04,680
Speaker 1: the game close until you beat yourself. And so the

808
00:40:04,719 --> 00:40:10,280
Speaker 1: Eagles sort of their their identity this year has been

809
00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:14,719
Speaker 1: you know, we can't have we we can't sustain consistency.

810
00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:19,600
Speaker 1: We we can't sustain success consistently for four quarters. We

811
00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:22,000
Speaker 1: typically either get off to a slow start and you're

812
00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:24,960
Speaker 1: behind double digits, as they've been in six out of

813
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:28,879
Speaker 1: the seven games, or in the critical moments, you're either

814
00:40:28,920 --> 00:40:31,480
Speaker 1: turning the ball over or you're dropping passes or things

815
00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:35,080
Speaker 1: of that nature. So until this team can prove they

816
00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:38,000
Speaker 1: can play through that stuff, I mean, this is a

817
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:40,520
Speaker 1: tough game Sunday. This, This is a tough game Sunday

818
00:40:40,520 --> 00:40:42,839
Speaker 1: for them. Now are the fans in Philly looking at

819
00:40:42,840 --> 00:40:45,080
Speaker 1: Buffalo up here? And they played the Jets at the

820
00:40:45,120 --> 00:40:47,560
Speaker 1: beginning of the season, they were winless. The next week,

821
00:40:47,560 --> 00:40:50,960
Speaker 1: the Giants were winless, Cincinnati was winless. Then they lost

822
00:40:51,040 --> 00:40:54,400
Speaker 1: to a good New England team they beat they barely

823
00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:57,560
Speaker 1: beat the Tennessee Titans, and then they beat a winless

824
00:40:57,600 --> 00:40:59,680
Speaker 1: Miami team. I mean this, They've got to be looking

825
00:40:59,680 --> 00:41:01,600
Speaker 1: at this a game where some of the people in

826
00:41:01,640 --> 00:41:06,600
Speaker 1: Philly's gotta have got to say, you gotta beat this team. Yeah, no,

827
00:41:06,600 --> 00:41:08,720
Speaker 1: no doubt about to see when you're trying to grasp

828
00:41:08,760 --> 00:41:12,040
Speaker 1: the straws right, because no one wants their season to

829
00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:14,799
Speaker 1: be over with by week seven. In week eight, so

830
00:41:15,239 --> 00:41:17,959
Speaker 1: you look at the team like Buffalo if yeah, sure

831
00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:20,520
Speaker 1: they were going to you know, somewhere in New England,

832
00:41:20,520 --> 00:41:22,359
Speaker 1: Green Bay. You're looking at the team six and one,

833
00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:24,479
Speaker 1: and you're going on there their feeling. You're saying, ah,

834
00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:27,400
Speaker 1: man may be difficult to pull out. But because Buffalo

835
00:41:27,440 --> 00:41:29,920
Speaker 1: is a young team, and because most of their games

836
00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:33,680
Speaker 1: have been relatively close, and anytime you're a defensive lair team,

837
00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:38,120
Speaker 1: most fan bases are gonna feel like you're gonna at

838
00:41:38,200 --> 00:41:40,360
Speaker 1: least be in the game in the fourth quarter. You

839
00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:42,719
Speaker 1: know you're they rarely blow teams out. It's gonna be

840
00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:46,120
Speaker 1: a matter of can you make plays late in the game.

841
00:41:46,200 --> 00:41:48,840
Speaker 1: So while we may feel like, yeah, we gotta shot

842
00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:51,560
Speaker 1: to go up there to win the game, with the

843
00:41:51,600 --> 00:41:54,719
Speaker 1: way this team has been playing, we believe me. We

844
00:41:54,840 --> 00:41:58,000
Speaker 1: take a lot of strong poles down here, and it's

845
00:41:58,040 --> 00:42:02,000
Speaker 1: about seventy five twenty five. Do not believe the Eagles

846
00:42:02,040 --> 00:42:05,680
Speaker 1: are gonna win this game? Sudden it is. It's not

847
00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:07,960
Speaker 1: feeling good down here in the City of Brotherly Love

848
00:42:08,080 --> 00:42:10,200
Speaker 1: right now. Like did the Eagles figure to get Ronald

849
00:42:10,280 --> 00:42:12,200
Speaker 1: Darby back at corner this week? Or is he still

850
00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:15,439
Speaker 1: going to be out? He's a guy I'm imagine brought

851
00:42:15,480 --> 00:42:19,319
Speaker 1: him up. I forgot that he actually dressed last week,

852
00:42:19,680 --> 00:42:21,040
Speaker 1: and I think they were going to use him in

853
00:42:21,040 --> 00:42:26,600
Speaker 1: an emergency situation. I don't know if that wasn't an

854
00:42:26,600 --> 00:42:29,760
Speaker 1: emergency last week, I don't know what what can consist

855
00:42:30,120 --> 00:42:34,600
Speaker 1: of been an emergency soul, But he was dressed. He

856
00:42:34,680 --> 00:42:38,360
Speaker 1: did not play, which tells me that I guess we

857
00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:40,360
Speaker 1: can expect him to be dressed this week and to

858
00:42:40,560 --> 00:42:43,799
Speaker 1: play some. I don't think Doug has said anything officially

859
00:42:44,200 --> 00:42:47,880
Speaker 1: about his playing status, but yeah, since he was dressed

860
00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:50,400
Speaker 1: last week, I guess I would be a little surprised

861
00:42:50,440 --> 00:42:54,080
Speaker 1: if he doesn't play some. What else is on their defense?

862
00:42:54,120 --> 00:42:56,719
Speaker 1: What has been you know, the Achilles heel of this

863
00:42:56,920 --> 00:42:59,160
Speaker 1: defense for the Eagles and asides the injuries that you've

864
00:42:59,160 --> 00:43:03,640
Speaker 1: spoken about, well, it's been all about the secondary and

865
00:43:03,880 --> 00:43:07,600
Speaker 1: any team that's had a quarterback that's back there, you know,

866
00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:10,400
Speaker 1: capable of putting that ball down the field, delivering the

867
00:43:10,440 --> 00:43:13,680
Speaker 1: ball with accuracy where it's supposed to go, they've had

868
00:43:13,680 --> 00:43:16,040
Speaker 1: a field date. I mean, the only reason the Cowboys

869
00:43:16,040 --> 00:43:18,359
Speaker 1: didn't throw for more yards last week because they ran

870
00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:21,120
Speaker 1: for one hundred and eighty yards. They didn't need to throw. So,

871
00:43:21,360 --> 00:43:24,719
Speaker 1: I mean, this is the probably the worst secondary in

872
00:43:24,760 --> 00:43:28,960
Speaker 1: the league right now, and so they they're having trouble

873
00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:32,400
Speaker 1: keeping the big playoff of them. They've given up probably

874
00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:35,680
Speaker 1: more big plays than anybody else in the NFL so

875
00:43:35,719 --> 00:43:39,000
Speaker 1: far this year. And my concern when going up against

876
00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:43,239
Speaker 1: this Buffalo Bills defense, it's really Josh Allen and his

877
00:43:43,280 --> 00:43:47,040
Speaker 1: ability to make plays off schedule. Quarterback that big that

878
00:43:47,160 --> 00:43:50,799
Speaker 1: can scramble. We're not a very good tackling team. I

879
00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:53,640
Speaker 1: didn't like the way we looked tackling last week. It

880
00:43:53,680 --> 00:43:55,919
Speaker 1: would it would it would scare me a little bit,

881
00:43:56,280 --> 00:44:00,080
Speaker 1: particularly on third down with with Josh Allen having the

882
00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:02,880
Speaker 1: ability to run around and make plays. And then anytime

883
00:44:02,920 --> 00:44:05,319
Speaker 1: you got John Brown out there. We know a little

884
00:44:05,320 --> 00:44:07,680
Speaker 1: bit about John Brown. His day's out there in Arizona.

885
00:44:07,760 --> 00:44:11,919
Speaker 1: He's beating us before we know that. Put it this way,

886
00:44:12,280 --> 00:44:16,839
Speaker 1: no matter what the quarterback, why receiver combinations are, when

887
00:44:16,840 --> 00:44:20,480
Speaker 1: they're going up against this defense, I'm always nervous. One

888
00:44:20,560 --> 00:44:22,200
Speaker 1: last thing I'd ask you about the one thing that

889
00:44:22,239 --> 00:44:25,040
Speaker 1: Philly does have that everybody would love to have. A

890
00:44:25,160 --> 00:44:27,280
Speaker 1: Zach Hurts. He's a tight end that has really become

891
00:44:27,320 --> 00:44:29,719
Speaker 1: a force. And I think if you look at the

892
00:44:29,760 --> 00:44:32,960
Speaker 1: Philadelphia and Eagles from where we are in Buffalo, you're thinking, man,

893
00:44:33,040 --> 00:44:35,560
Speaker 1: that's the guy we got to stop. Thirty five catches

894
00:44:35,600 --> 00:44:39,360
Speaker 1: over four hundred yards receiving and WinCE when he's in trouble.

895
00:44:39,400 --> 00:44:43,200
Speaker 1: I mean, that's the first place he's gonna look correct. Yeah,

896
00:44:43,200 --> 00:44:48,959
Speaker 1: And unfortunately every defensive coordinator knows that too, So Zach.

897
00:44:49,080 --> 00:44:52,480
Speaker 1: While he certainly is having a good years, it's a

898
00:44:52,480 --> 00:44:54,640
Speaker 1: little bit down from a production stand apart from what

899
00:44:54,719 --> 00:44:57,160
Speaker 1: we've seen from Zach the last two years. And that's

900
00:44:57,239 --> 00:45:00,919
Speaker 1: partly because defensives have decided you're gonna have to beat

901
00:45:00,960 --> 00:45:03,520
Speaker 1: us somewhere else. So he's seemed more double coverage this

902
00:45:03,600 --> 00:45:06,359
Speaker 1: year than he's seen in years past. He's been able

903
00:45:06,360 --> 00:45:10,360
Speaker 1: to get open at times. I'm pretty sure Sean, Sean McDermott,

904
00:45:10,400 --> 00:45:13,279
Speaker 1: Leslie Fraser, they're gonna try to force Carson Wentz to

905
00:45:13,360 --> 00:45:16,440
Speaker 1: go somewhere else with the football. And that's why Dallas

906
00:45:16,440 --> 00:45:19,719
Speaker 1: Goddard has sort of had a little bit of a

907
00:45:19,719 --> 00:45:23,200
Speaker 1: breakout season coming off of his rookie year. But when

908
00:45:23,200 --> 00:45:25,760
Speaker 1: you look at this Eagles offense, it starts with number

909
00:45:25,760 --> 00:45:28,880
Speaker 1: eighty six in the passing game, and sure Carson is

910
00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:31,439
Speaker 1: gonna go there with his security blanket. But I think

911
00:45:31,520 --> 00:45:34,560
Speaker 1: defenses have done a good job at times, particularly on

912
00:45:34,600 --> 00:45:37,479
Speaker 1: third down situations and in the red zone, of sort

913
00:45:37,520 --> 00:45:40,120

Speaker 1: always tell people catch the last half of the live broadcast,

989
00:49:28,760 --> 00:49:31,400
Speaker 1: catch the first half of the rebroadcast. You know, we

990
00:49:31,480 --> 00:49:36,640
Speaker 1: don't have to watch a game at five and one team. Yeah, yeah,

991
00:49:36,640 --> 00:49:38,480
Speaker 1: it's a big game. It's a big game for uh,

992
00:49:38,680 --> 00:49:41,719
Speaker 1: for Philly for sure. Critical that it's well and like,

993
00:49:41,760 --> 00:49:43,879
Speaker 1: how many times can you go to the well? Right?

994
00:49:44,120 --> 00:49:45,600
Speaker 1: It's just and that's why I was just talking to

995
00:49:46,120 --> 00:49:50,040
Speaker 1: one of your guys out there. Um, you know, you

996
00:49:50,040 --> 00:49:51,920
Speaker 1: can only have so many times where you're backed up

997
00:49:51,920 --> 00:49:53,319
Speaker 1: against the wall and you have to go on the

998
00:49:53,400 --> 00:49:56,400
Speaker 1: road against the team that's playing well in their building

999
00:49:56,600 --> 00:49:58,080
Speaker 1: and win that game. They had it with the Green

1000
00:49:58,080 --> 00:50:02,040
Speaker 1: Bay Packers a couple of weeks ago. Yeah, but you

1001
00:50:02,120 --> 00:50:04,120
Speaker 1: keep trying to go to that well. It's not it's

1002
00:50:04,120 --> 00:50:05,640
Speaker 1: not gonna work out for you if that's the way

1003
00:50:05,640 --> 00:50:07,759
Speaker 1: you're going to go throughout your season. So, um, let's

1004
00:50:07,800 --> 00:50:09,799
Speaker 1: see if they've got it, particularly as banged up as

1005
00:50:09,840 --> 00:50:11,560
Speaker 1: they are on the defensive side of the ball. We

1006
00:50:11,640 --> 00:50:13,520
Speaker 1: were just talking to I Greas and it's from us

1007
00:50:13,520 --> 00:50:15,359
Speaker 1: out here, it looks like they're not that far off.

1008
00:50:15,400 --> 00:50:17,719
Speaker 1: I mean, you've got the two turnovers in Dallas down bang,

1009
00:50:17,719 --> 00:50:21,160
Speaker 1: they're down fourteen. Nothing while that changes things, uh, And

1010
00:50:21,239 --> 00:50:23,880
Speaker 1: it's been the story during this season. It hasn't been

1011
00:50:23,920 --> 00:50:26,240
Speaker 1: the injuries so much. It has been the offensive turnovers,

1012
00:50:26,239 --> 00:50:29,000
Speaker 1: the fumbles that they're coughing up. They've lost eight on

1013
00:50:29,080 --> 00:50:31,680
Speaker 1: the year. You can't win like that, and it seems

1014
00:50:31,719 --> 00:50:34,279
Speaker 1: like that to me is a pretty simple fix. Just

1015
00:50:34,520 --> 00:50:36,759
Speaker 1: hang on to the football when you're carrying it, and

1016
00:50:37,040 --> 00:50:38,719
Speaker 1: you give yourself a chance to win these games. That's

1017
00:50:38,719 --> 00:50:41,040
Speaker 1: what Doug Peterson's trying to tell tell his guys. Look,

1018
00:50:41,080 --> 00:50:42,719
Speaker 1: we're not that far away. And that's what you do

1019
00:50:42,760 --> 00:50:44,359
Speaker 1: when you come off a blowout loss and you're head

1020
00:50:44,360 --> 00:50:46,120
Speaker 1: coach and you're trying to get your team right. You're

1021
00:50:46,160 --> 00:50:48,400
Speaker 1: pointing to all the things. It's like when you watch

1022
00:50:48,440 --> 00:50:50,279
Speaker 1: their film. And when he said that, so let me

1023
00:50:50,280 --> 00:50:51,759
Speaker 1: go back, let me see what he's talking about, because

1024
00:50:51,760 --> 00:50:54,200
Speaker 1: he said, you know, maybe it's Miles Sanders, the rookie

1025
00:50:54,400 --> 00:50:56,319
Speaker 1: not sticking it up in the hole there and and

1026
00:50:56,520 --> 00:50:59,279
Speaker 1: just hitting the hole, and he's he's reading too much.

1027
00:50:59,280 --> 00:51:02,239
Speaker 1: He's he's over we're thinking. Really, He's saying, you know,

1028
00:51:02,280 --> 00:51:04,040
Speaker 1: I'm seeing it, but then I see a little something

1029
00:51:04,080 --> 00:51:05,440
Speaker 1: out of the corner of my eye and it causes

1030
00:51:05,560 --> 00:51:07,160
Speaker 1: me to pause. It's the adjustment that a lot of

1031
00:51:07,239 --> 00:51:09,120
Speaker 1: running backs have to make at this level because it

1032
00:51:09,160 --> 00:51:11,400
Speaker 1: does happen a lot faster. So I went back and

1033
00:51:11,440 --> 00:51:13,640
Speaker 1: looked at it and you could see, Yeah, there's one

1034
00:51:13,760 --> 00:51:16,040
Speaker 1: play in particular, and I'll break it down on Saturday

1035
00:51:16,080 --> 00:51:19,560
Speaker 1: on Good Morning Football weekend where Jason Kelsey misses a

1036
00:51:19,600 --> 00:51:21,880
Speaker 1: block and if he doesn't, I mean completely whips and

1037
00:51:21,920 --> 00:51:24,000
Speaker 1: he's a good center. I'm not knocking him. But if

1038
00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:26,400
Speaker 1: he doesn't, Sanders is one on one with the safety

1039
00:51:26,719 --> 00:51:28,400
Speaker 1: and now he's going to the end zone and out's

1040
00:51:28,480 --> 00:51:30,160
Speaker 1: I think fourteen seven at the time or whatever it

1041
00:51:30,160 --> 00:51:34,520
Speaker 1: winds up being. So you can see what he's talking about.

1042
00:51:34,840 --> 00:51:37,719
Speaker 1: But it's a lot easier said than done to just hey,

1043
00:51:37,800 --> 00:51:40,759
Speaker 1: fix this one mistake, whatever it is, on any given play. Hey, Mike,

1044
00:51:40,760 --> 00:51:43,680
Speaker 1: what are we to make of the reports and you know,

1045
00:51:43,760 --> 00:51:47,400
Speaker 1: documented reports of dysfunction, you know, Lane Johnson's postgame comments

1046
00:51:47,400 --> 00:51:49,840
Speaker 1: about calling people out a rough meeting they might have,

1047
00:51:49,960 --> 00:51:53,239
Speaker 1: and the reports of people complaining about Carson Wentz. I'm

1048
00:51:53,239 --> 00:51:56,000
Speaker 1: always reluctant to think that has any impacted on on

1049
00:51:56,040 --> 00:51:58,520
Speaker 1: how a game plays out. But what do you think? No,

1050
00:51:58,640 --> 00:52:00,680
Speaker 1: I think there's a little bit Listen, and I've I've

1051
00:52:00,680 --> 00:52:03,840
Speaker 1: been a Wenz defender the whole way, and and and

1052
00:52:03,880 --> 00:52:07,960
Speaker 1: these criticisms about him, about how he's selfish or egotistical

1053
00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:11,160
Speaker 1: or whatever these things are. I thought that those reports

1054
00:52:11,280 --> 00:52:15,120
Speaker 1: missed the mark. I did think that it was good

1055
00:52:15,120 --> 00:52:16,960
Speaker 1: by Carson to sit there and say, well, it's a

1056
00:52:17,080 --> 00:52:19,600
Speaker 1: chance for me to evaluate myself. Let's see if there's

1057
00:52:19,640 --> 00:52:22,320
Speaker 1: some shred of truth in there. Let's see what gives

1058
00:52:22,360 --> 00:52:25,040
Speaker 1: somebody because somebody had that impression. Let's see what gives

1059
00:52:25,040 --> 00:52:29,080
Speaker 1: somebody that impression. So um, I think there's a disconnect

1060
00:52:29,120 --> 00:52:33,680
Speaker 1: on some levels in that locker room. Winning solves these things, okay,

1061
00:52:33,800 --> 00:52:37,080
Speaker 1: so losing will bring them out, will highlight them. So

1062
00:52:37,120 --> 00:52:38,680
Speaker 1: I think that that's what you've got with his team

1063
00:52:38,760 --> 00:52:40,880
Speaker 1: right now. And it's that's why that's why I say

1064
00:52:40,920 --> 00:52:44,120
Speaker 1: it's a critical game, because sometimes these little splinters and

1065
00:52:44,160 --> 00:52:47,879
Speaker 1: fractures can become big fishers. When this stuff doesn't happen

1066
00:52:47,880 --> 00:52:50,279
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, it blows wide open. So um,

1067
00:52:50,600 --> 00:52:52,560
Speaker 1: you can come back from that if you've if you've

1068
00:52:52,560 --> 00:52:54,399
Speaker 1: been a team that's had success in the recent past,

1069
00:52:54,400 --> 00:52:56,600
Speaker 1: and you know what it takes. But a lot of

1070
00:52:56,600 --> 00:52:59,440
Speaker 1: times when you're on the brink there, things start to

1071
00:52:59,480 --> 00:53:01,120
Speaker 1: go wrong. Or early in a game. It's tough to

1072
00:53:01,120 --> 00:53:03,880
Speaker 1: turn it around the other team in this game. Welcome

1073
00:53:03,920 --> 00:53:05,920
Speaker 1: to happy land here, right. I mean, I'm sure you'll

1074
00:53:05,960 --> 00:53:08,239
Speaker 1: find it totally spend the day here, right. There's nothing

1075
00:53:08,239 --> 00:53:10,480
Speaker 1: wrong with this Bills team in terms of their chemistry.

1076
00:53:10,480 --> 00:53:13,080
Speaker 1: They're cohesion. That can change, obviously, but they're a pretty

1077
00:53:13,080 --> 00:53:14,880
Speaker 1: solid unit out there right now. They are, and you

1078
00:53:14,880 --> 00:53:16,920
Speaker 1: could I'm a good at really good energy at practice.

1079
00:53:17,480 --> 00:53:19,480
Speaker 1: I try not to read too much into that stuff, right,

1080
00:53:19,640 --> 00:53:21,520
Speaker 1: but you could see it immediately, just smashing the face

1081
00:53:21,560 --> 00:53:23,600
Speaker 1: as soon as you are and it's look, it's it's

1082
00:53:23,600 --> 00:53:27,080
Speaker 1: this Eagles team from twenty seventeen that was on the rise,

1083
00:53:27,200 --> 00:53:29,320
Speaker 1: that was riding that momentum and that good feeling and

1084
00:53:29,360 --> 00:53:31,760
Speaker 1: everybody playing together, and you go out you felt that energy.

1085
00:53:32,600 --> 00:53:34,120
Speaker 1: It's not the same energy when you go out there

1086
00:53:34,120 --> 00:53:35,880
Speaker 1: at their practice right now. And I was here and

1087
00:53:35,880 --> 00:53:37,640
Speaker 1: I said, Okay, that's what it looked like. That's what

1088
00:53:37,680 --> 00:53:39,600
Speaker 1: I remember, and that's what they're trying to recapture. And

1089
00:53:39,880 --> 00:53:41,839
Speaker 1: you could see that with a team that's that's on

1090
00:53:41,880 --> 00:53:44,200
Speaker 1: the rise, the way that the Bills are, and things

1091
00:53:44,200 --> 00:53:46,759
Speaker 1: are starting to fall into place and you're playing well look,

1092
00:53:46,960 --> 00:53:49,000
Speaker 1: you could poke all the holes in the schedule you want,

1093
00:53:49,800 --> 00:53:51,439
Speaker 1: you play who's in front of you, and you take

1094
00:53:51,440 --> 00:53:53,640
Speaker 1: care of business. And some teams may have lost that

1095
00:53:53,760 --> 00:53:56,759
Speaker 1: Dolphins game, Okay, you got at some point figure out

1096
00:53:56,960 --> 00:53:59,080
Speaker 1: how to get things going in the right direction and

1097
00:53:59,160 --> 00:54:02,520
Speaker 1: win that game. And they did because Miami was starting

1098
00:54:02,520 --> 00:54:04,839
Speaker 1: to gain confidence as that game went on. So all

1099
00:54:04,880 --> 00:54:06,480
Speaker 1: of a sudden, you're not looking at a team that

1100
00:54:06,600 --> 00:54:08,080
Speaker 1: can't get out of its tone, where you're looking at

1101
00:54:08,080 --> 00:54:09,880
Speaker 1: a team that's like, okay, yeah, no, this is what

1102
00:54:09,880 --> 00:54:12,080
Speaker 1: it feels like to be leading a game and to

1103
00:54:12,160 --> 00:54:15,120
Speaker 1: potentially close it out. So I thought that was a

1104
00:54:15,160 --> 00:54:17,640
Speaker 1: great sign for them, the way that they closed that

1105
00:54:17,719 --> 00:54:19,799
Speaker 1: game out and really taking care of business, the way

1106
00:54:19,800 --> 00:54:21,880
Speaker 1: that they have. As tough as it's been for Philadelphia

1107
00:54:21,880 --> 00:54:23,239
Speaker 1: at this point of the season three and fourth, there's

1108
00:54:23,239 --> 00:54:26,000
Speaker 1: still one game behind the Dat Cowboys in the division. Yeah,

1109
00:54:26,640 --> 00:54:28,719
Speaker 1: nobody else in the division is running off and leaving them,

1110
00:54:28,719 --> 00:54:30,440
Speaker 1: So they're going to be in it all the way

1111
00:54:30,480 --> 00:54:32,160
Speaker 1: to the end. And all these wins, you know, in

1112
00:54:32,960 --> 00:54:35,400
Speaker 1: September October critical because you don't want to have to

1113
00:54:35,440 --> 00:54:38,080
Speaker 1: win them in November December. But what do you think

1114
00:54:38,160 --> 00:54:40,160
Speaker 1: is the key for this week's Philly team to come

1115
00:54:40,200 --> 00:54:44,080
Speaker 1: in here and deal with the Bills and what they

1116
00:54:44,120 --> 00:54:45,680
Speaker 1: bring to them. Wow. Two things. They got to be

1117
00:54:45,719 --> 00:54:48,160
Speaker 1: able to run the football on offense because a lot

1118
00:54:48,200 --> 00:54:49,640
Speaker 1: of the things that they're going to try to do.

1119
00:54:49,840 --> 00:54:51,399
Speaker 1: They have not been able to hit the deep ball.

1120
00:54:51,400 --> 00:54:54,320
Speaker 1: Everybody's talking about the absence of the Shawan Jackson. Obviously

1121
00:54:54,360 --> 00:54:56,480
Speaker 1: that's a big part of it. But the other thing

1122
00:54:56,520 --> 00:54:58,120
Speaker 1: is a lot of their stuff will come off of

1123
00:54:58,120 --> 00:55:01,920
Speaker 1: play action and and particularly now that they don't have

1124
00:55:02,000 --> 00:55:04,720
Speaker 1: Deshaun Well, you're not gonna have to create space against

1125
00:55:04,719 --> 00:55:06,919
Speaker 1: the Bills defense that doesn't give up the big play

1126
00:55:06,960 --> 00:55:08,680
Speaker 1: a lot of times because of their philosophy and the

1127
00:55:08,680 --> 00:55:10,640
Speaker 1: way that they play things. And we're not letting anything

1128
00:55:10,680 --> 00:55:13,040
Speaker 1: get behind you. Well, the way you break that is

1129
00:55:13,160 --> 00:55:15,439
Speaker 1: get those guys on their toes instead of their heels,

1130
00:55:15,480 --> 00:55:17,759
Speaker 1: get them coming downhill. They're gonna have to run the

1131
00:55:17,760 --> 00:55:19,480
Speaker 1: football better than they have. Number One, they haven't had

1132
00:55:19,480 --> 00:55:22,120
Speaker 1: a hundred yard rushers since I think it was Jagaie

1133
00:55:22,320 --> 00:55:25,839
Speaker 1: late in the twenty seventeen season. And the other thing

1134
00:55:25,920 --> 00:55:29,839
Speaker 1: is defensively, their d line they're obviously banged up. They're

1135
00:55:29,840 --> 00:55:31,640
Speaker 1: gonna have at least one guy in the D line

1136
00:55:31,680 --> 00:55:36,560
Speaker 1: making his his NFL debut, so the guys in the

1137
00:55:36,560 --> 00:55:38,400
Speaker 1: back end need to play better. I talked to Malcolm

1138
00:55:38,440 --> 00:55:40,279
Speaker 1: Jenkins about this a little bit, and he says, we

1139
00:55:40,360 --> 00:55:42,040
Speaker 1: used to be able to get away with things on

1140
00:55:42,080 --> 00:55:44,520
Speaker 1: the back end because of how good they were up front,

1141
00:55:44,560 --> 00:55:48,640
Speaker 1: basically taking chances, and we have to play assignment football

1142
00:55:48,680 --> 00:55:51,520
Speaker 1: back there because they're not as strong as they were,

1143
00:55:51,560 --> 00:55:54,200
Speaker 1: because they are extremely thin and extremely banged up, so

1144
00:55:54,200 --> 00:55:56,160
Speaker 1: they're kind of flipping it. Last year, it was like,

1145
00:55:56,239 --> 00:55:59,200
Speaker 1: let's attack up front. It'll cover up our deficiencies on

1146
00:55:59,239 --> 00:56:01,640
Speaker 1: the back end. It's going to have to be a

1147
00:56:01,680 --> 00:56:03,360
Speaker 1: reverse for this team if they're gonna be successful on

1148
00:56:03,360 --> 00:56:04,840
Speaker 1: that side of the ball. With my girl follow with

1149
00:56:04,920 --> 00:56:08,279
Speaker 1: the NFL network here covering the Bills. Big question when

1150
00:56:08,280 --> 00:56:10,600
Speaker 1: people come to see the Bills is the impression they

1151
00:56:10,600 --> 00:56:11,960
Speaker 1: have with Josh Allen. What do you think of his

1152
00:56:12,000 --> 00:56:14,279
Speaker 1: season so far? And what's left to come for judge?

1153
00:56:14,520 --> 00:56:17,319
Speaker 1: Where do you need to get better? Yeah? You know,

1154
00:56:17,719 --> 00:56:20,920
Speaker 1: there was so much talk nationally about how he became

1155
00:56:20,920 --> 00:56:23,360
Speaker 1: this running quarterback last year and that was that was

1156
00:56:23,400 --> 00:56:25,840
Speaker 1: the knock on him. He's not supposed to be supposed

1157
00:56:25,840 --> 00:56:27,560
Speaker 1: to be able to throw the football from the pocket.

1158
00:56:28,200 --> 00:56:30,080
Speaker 1: One of the things that I have seen earlier this

1159
00:56:30,160 --> 00:56:32,200
Speaker 1: year from him that I thought was extremely impressive was

1160
00:56:32,239 --> 00:56:34,319
Speaker 1: his ability to throw on the run. Okay, so not

1161
00:56:34,360 --> 00:56:37,520
Speaker 1: just creating with his feet by running for the first

1162
00:56:37,520 --> 00:56:40,080
Speaker 1: down or whatever it is, or leaping over guys, but

1163
00:56:40,200 --> 00:56:43,000
Speaker 1: also creating time. And then there's a throw against the

1164
00:56:43,000 --> 00:56:44,800
Speaker 1: Giants that he may go into his right where he

1165
00:56:44,840 --> 00:56:48,600
Speaker 1: threw it to the sideline that which is an absolute beauty,

1166
00:56:48,680 --> 00:56:52,239
Speaker 1: just a dime. So I you know, I still want

1167
00:56:52,239 --> 00:56:54,640
Speaker 1: to see a better guy from the pocket, but I'm

1168
00:56:54,640 --> 00:56:57,319
Speaker 1: starting to see these things from him that leads you

1169
00:56:57,320 --> 00:56:58,839
Speaker 1: to believe that he's starting to see it better. He's

1170
00:56:58,840 --> 00:57:01,080
Speaker 1: starting to figure it out. Uh, and he really could

1171
00:57:01,080 --> 00:57:03,480
Speaker 1: be a dangerous weapon here. Yeah, John Brown now one

1172
00:57:03,520 --> 00:57:05,920
Speaker 1: of his top targets, and he's also got young tight ends.

1173
00:57:05,960 --> 00:57:08,400
Speaker 1: I mean, the thing that we've been talking about here

1174
00:57:08,440 --> 00:57:11,360
Speaker 1: in Buffalo is the fact that from last year Week's seventeen,

1175
00:57:11,400 --> 00:57:14,120
Speaker 1: I think they're nine different guys on the offense. The

1176
00:57:14,200 --> 00:57:16,120
Speaker 1: left tackle on the quarterback are the only guy's left

1177
00:57:16,120 --> 00:57:19,040
Speaker 1: standing from the offense that was in the second half

1178
00:57:19,040 --> 00:57:21,280
Speaker 1: of last year and they've and it's completely different kind

1179
00:57:21,320 --> 00:57:23,040
Speaker 1: of offense. They don't hit the deep ball. Last year

1180
00:57:23,040 --> 00:57:25,200
Speaker 1: they leaned on it like the Philly Eagles. This year

1181
00:57:25,480 --> 00:57:27,200
Speaker 1: it hasn't happened for him, and people are kind of

1182
00:57:27,200 --> 00:57:30,880
Speaker 1: wondering where it went. But how how long have you

1183
00:57:30,960 --> 00:57:33,080
Speaker 1: seen I mean, you saw that Philly team build up

1184
00:57:33,080 --> 00:57:35,480
Speaker 1: and kind of win a World championship. You got nine

1185
00:57:35,480 --> 00:57:37,760
Speaker 1: new stars on your offense. What's it supposed to look

1186
00:57:37,800 --> 00:57:39,960
Speaker 1: like in the first eight games when they've never played together.

1187
00:57:40,000 --> 00:57:43,000
Speaker 1: You're talking about for Buffalo. For Buffalo, it's supposed to

1188
00:57:43,080 --> 00:57:47,080
Speaker 1: look like you're not turning the ball over and they've

1189
00:57:47,120 --> 00:57:50,920
Speaker 1: done a good job of that. And it's it's the

1190
00:57:50,920 --> 00:57:53,560
Speaker 1: consistency that you also build with your offensive coordinator. I mean,

1191
00:57:53,560 --> 00:57:56,120
Speaker 1: you can you can change all the parts here, and

1192
00:57:56,440 --> 00:57:58,280
Speaker 1: that's a big factor, no doubt about it. But if

1193
00:57:58,280 --> 00:58:01,080
Speaker 1: you can get that consistency with your coach staff, that's

1194
00:58:01,080 --> 00:58:04,160
Speaker 1: a huge thing for a young quarterback. You know, Josh

1195
00:58:04,240 --> 00:58:06,720
Speaker 1: Rosen uh is one of the guys where when you

1196
00:58:06,840 --> 00:58:09,080
Speaker 1: keep changing the coordinator and changing the scheme and changing

1197
00:58:09,080 --> 00:58:12,200
Speaker 1: the system, that's the biggest detriment for a young quarterback.

1198
00:58:12,640 --> 00:58:14,400
Speaker 1: Uh So, so these guys seem like they have a

1199
00:58:14,400 --> 00:58:17,640
Speaker 1: really good communication Brian Dable and uh and Josh Allen.

1200
00:58:17,920 --> 00:58:21,320
Speaker 1: So that's a really strong part. And we'll see. We'll

1201
00:58:21,320 --> 00:58:24,560
Speaker 1: see if Dable now starts to become this head coaching candidate,

1202
00:58:24,600 --> 00:58:26,840
Speaker 1: because the names starting to bubble up, you know how

1203
00:58:26,880 --> 00:58:29,600
Speaker 1: it is who's winning and who's the offensive coach on

1204
00:58:29,640 --> 00:58:31,720
Speaker 1: that team, who that these owners can go get because

1205
00:58:31,760 --> 00:58:33,640
Speaker 1: that's the way they're gonna lean. So we'll see. Dable's

1206
00:58:33,640 --> 00:58:35,800
Speaker 1: resume includes now a year and a half at least

1207
00:58:35,800 --> 00:58:38,040
Speaker 1: of work with Josh Allen, So that'll I think serve

1208
00:58:38,120 --> 00:58:39,600
Speaker 1: him well when he goes out there. If he goes

1209
00:58:39,640 --> 00:58:42,000
Speaker 1: out there, there's no there's no question about that. And uh,

1210
00:58:42,040 --> 00:58:43,480
Speaker 1: and there's a lot of people I think he's a

1211
00:58:43,640 --> 00:58:46,800
Speaker 1: he's a he's a bright mind as an offensive guy. So, uh,

1212
00:58:46,840 --> 00:58:49,840
Speaker 1: we'll see if he because you're the rumors are starting

1213
00:58:49,840 --> 00:58:52,920
Speaker 1: to bubble up already about him, you know, being a candidate. Now,

1214
00:58:53,000 --> 00:58:55,560
Speaker 1: like there's two things. Are you a candidate or are

1215
00:58:55,560 --> 00:58:57,320
Speaker 1: you a guy that's gonna get hired? Right you can

1216
00:58:57,320 --> 00:59:00,200
Speaker 1: get your interviews. Uh, So we'll see, we'll see where

1217
00:59:00,200 --> 00:59:03,040
Speaker 1: he goes from here. Buffalo defense impresses people a lot.

1218
00:59:03,080 --> 00:59:05,760
Speaker 1: Are they among one of the best defenses you've seen.

1219
00:59:05,840 --> 00:59:07,680
Speaker 1: There's no question, There's no question. You just look at

1220
00:59:07,720 --> 00:59:09,600
Speaker 1: the numbers. Uh, And you look at the way that

1221
00:59:09,680 --> 00:59:12,520
Speaker 1: Leslie Frasier is calling these games, and and like I

1222
00:59:12,560 --> 00:59:15,200
Speaker 1: said about, I do love the philosophy of they're not

1223
00:59:15,240 --> 00:59:17,680
Speaker 1: going to get beat deep and if you've got guys

1224
00:59:17,800 --> 00:59:20,040
Speaker 1: up front that you trust to get home, you can

1225
00:59:20,040 --> 00:59:22,560
Speaker 1: play that way versus having to play a little bit

1226
00:59:22,560 --> 00:59:26,680
Speaker 1: more aggressively in the secondary. So the personnel is strong

1227
00:59:26,800 --> 00:59:30,240
Speaker 1: for sure with this team. Um, and Eda Oliver is

1228
00:59:30,280 --> 00:59:34,520
Speaker 1: just a specimen. I was watching him out there during

1229
00:59:34,520 --> 00:59:37,920
Speaker 1: individual drills and just his ability is incredible. And to

1230
00:59:38,040 --> 00:59:41,040
Speaker 1: get him where they got him, what number eight nine?

1231
00:59:41,080 --> 00:59:46,080
Speaker 1: What was it again? I'm black man. That was a great, great,

1232
00:59:47,120 --> 00:59:49,960
Speaker 1: great value pick for them. Who's playing well offensively for

1233
00:59:50,000 --> 00:59:52,000
Speaker 1: the Eagles? I mean that Zach Hurtz is certainly the

1234
00:59:52,000 --> 00:59:54,080
Speaker 1: guy they kind of go to Carson Wentz when they're

1235
00:59:54,080 --> 00:59:55,800
Speaker 1: not turning it over. Seems to be throwing the football

1236
00:59:55,800 --> 00:59:58,360
Speaker 1: as well as he has ever has. Who are his guys?

1237
00:59:58,360 --> 01:00:01,240
Speaker 1: And of course with DeShawn Jackson out, I mean, yeah,

1238
01:00:01,240 --> 01:00:04,920
Speaker 1: who's there? He is? Um, you know, I thought Dallas.

1239
01:00:04,960 --> 01:00:06,600
Speaker 1: Goddard was really gonna be a guy that was gonna

1240
01:00:06,600 --> 01:00:08,880
Speaker 1: emerge this year. And he, you know, he hasn't spurt

1241
01:00:09,200 --> 01:00:11,880
Speaker 1: in spurts. He had a fumble uh in that game

1242
01:00:11,920 --> 01:00:14,080
Speaker 1: the other night that was a problem for him. So um,

1243
01:00:14,360 --> 01:00:17,600
Speaker 1: you know, he's just DeShawn Jackson was going to open

1244
01:00:17,680 --> 01:00:19,800
Speaker 1: up everything else for all these other guys and and

1245
01:00:19,800 --> 01:00:21,400
Speaker 1: and that's the problem for them right now. And when

1246
01:00:21,440 --> 01:00:23,640
Speaker 1: they lost him, they were hopeful that they were gonna

1247
01:00:23,680 --> 01:00:26,160
Speaker 1: get something from some of these other guys, Mac Collins

1248
01:00:26,200 --> 01:00:29,880
Speaker 1: and JJ Arsega Whiteside, Arsega Whiteside, the rookie Hollins been

1249
01:00:29,920 --> 01:00:31,640
Speaker 1: around for a couple of years. They just haven't gotten

1250
01:00:31,680 --> 01:00:34,640
Speaker 1: those contributions from those guys. They haven't been able to

1251
01:00:34,680 --> 01:00:37,680
Speaker 1: step up and fill the void. So I guess the

1252
01:00:37,760 --> 01:00:40,280
Speaker 1: answer to your question, who's playing well Jordan Howard running back.

1253
01:00:40,560 --> 01:00:42,560
Speaker 1: And I don't know. I don't know. I don't understand

1254
01:00:42,560 --> 01:00:44,760
Speaker 1: why Chicago let him go. I don't understand why the

1255
01:00:44,760 --> 01:00:47,240
Speaker 1: Eagles have been reluctant to give him a full time role.

1256
01:00:47,280 --> 01:00:50,400
Speaker 1: I've I've I've heard some things about you know, why

1257
01:00:50,400 --> 01:00:52,800
Speaker 1: he rubbed some people the wrong way. Sometimes I guess

1258
01:00:52,800 --> 01:00:56,040
Speaker 1: behind the scenes. But to me, uh, he's a pretty

1259
01:00:56,040 --> 01:00:59,160
Speaker 1: good player and uh, he's he's a strong runner. And

1260
01:00:59,520 --> 01:01:01,200
Speaker 1: like I said, this team's gonna have to run the

1261
01:01:01,200 --> 01:01:03,560
Speaker 1: football well to get going offensively. Are you Are they

1262
01:01:03,560 --> 01:01:06,200
Speaker 1: doing it with Miles Sanders Jordan Howard, two guys they

1263
01:01:06,240 --> 01:01:10,520
Speaker 1: both have almost identical carressus last couple of games. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

1264
01:01:10,560 --> 01:01:13,200
Speaker 1: So they're starting to do it with the two of them. Yeah.

1265
01:01:13,360 --> 01:01:15,800
Speaker 1: Is that by plan or by production? Because the production

1266
01:01:15,880 --> 01:01:19,080
Speaker 1: it's it's by early in the season, trying to give

1267
01:01:19,200 --> 01:01:23,160
Speaker 1: Sanders the lion share. Uh, and just not him, not

1268
01:01:23,240 --> 01:01:25,640
Speaker 1: responding him, not showing him. Now, what they've done is

1269
01:01:25,640 --> 01:01:27,760
Speaker 1: instead of benching him because he had had a fumble

1270
01:01:27,840 --> 01:01:30,360
Speaker 1: issue and all that stuff, instead of benching him, Uh,

1271
01:01:30,400 --> 01:01:34,040
Speaker 1: they're just gonna tick back the the the workload a

1272
01:01:34,080 --> 01:01:36,200
Speaker 1: little bit in the meantime because some teams would have

1273
01:01:36,200 --> 01:01:38,080
Speaker 1: stashed him on the bench and we'll see you again

1274
01:01:38,120 --> 01:01:40,040
Speaker 1: in a couple months if you learn your lesson. They

1275
01:01:40,120 --> 01:01:41,840
Speaker 1: dialed it back a little bit to show, hey, we're

1276
01:01:41,880 --> 01:01:44,280
Speaker 1: still confident in you, but let's see what Jordan Howard

1277
01:01:44,280 --> 01:01:45,800
Speaker 1: could give us in the meantime. I thought that that

1278
01:01:45,920 --> 01:01:47,600
Speaker 1: was smart. I thought that's really what they should have

1279
01:01:47,600 --> 01:01:49,320
Speaker 1: been done doing from the start of the season to

1280
01:01:49,320 --> 01:01:50,800
Speaker 1: being I got a question for you, not about the

1281
01:01:50,800 --> 01:01:53,640
Speaker 1: Bills or the Eagles, Josh Gordon on the Patriots do

1282
01:01:53,720 --> 01:01:55,960
Speaker 1: what they did, put him on IR and where does

1283
01:01:55,960 --> 01:01:57,640
Speaker 1: that go? Where do you think he goes? Well, it's

1284
01:01:57,680 --> 01:02:01,360
Speaker 1: basically their decision to cut him, and they can't do

1285
01:02:01,440 --> 01:02:04,760
Speaker 1: that if a guy's injured, so he goes to injured reserve,

1286
01:02:04,840 --> 01:02:06,960
Speaker 1: and then you get released off of their when you're healthy.

1287
01:02:07,240 --> 01:02:09,160
Speaker 1: So the question is when is he going to be healthy.

1288
01:02:09,280 --> 01:02:14,200
Speaker 1: And by his belief from what I gather, because he

1289
01:02:14,200 --> 01:02:17,560
Speaker 1: was out of practice doing some stuff yesterday, apparently looking

1290
01:02:17,600 --> 01:02:20,400
Speaker 1: spry and ready to go, his beliefs that he's gonna

1291
01:02:20,400 --> 01:02:23,920
Speaker 1: be ready really soon. And if he's right, that'll be

1292
01:02:24,000 --> 01:02:26,560
Speaker 1: good for him because if he gets released off of

1293
01:02:26,600 --> 01:02:30,360
Speaker 1: injured reserve before the trading deadline on Tuesday, he'd be

1294
01:02:30,400 --> 01:02:32,439
Speaker 1: a free agent free to sign with anybody. If it's

1295
01:02:32,480 --> 01:02:35,280
Speaker 1: after that, everybody that gets released in the NFL, no

1296
01:02:35,360 --> 01:02:38,080
Speaker 1: matter how long you've been in the league, how many

1297
01:02:38,160 --> 01:02:40,480
Speaker 1: years of service you have, you got to run through waivers,

1298
01:02:41,080 --> 01:02:44,160
Speaker 1: in which case, if you're the Patriots, you probably want

1299
01:02:44,160 --> 01:02:45,800
Speaker 1: to stall to that point because you don't want to

1300
01:02:45,800 --> 01:02:47,840
Speaker 1: see him go get cut and then wind up with

1301
01:02:48,400 --> 01:02:50,800
Speaker 1: pick a team KA, Kansas City or whoever. I know

1302
01:02:50,840 --> 01:02:54,200
Speaker 1: Kansity needs him, But come back to Buffalo, come back

1303
01:02:54,240 --> 01:02:56,440
Speaker 1: to Biker. Yeah, if you look about the waiver order'd

1304
01:02:56,440 --> 01:02:59,160
Speaker 1: probably go Miami, which would be in their division. Yeah,

1305
01:02:59,200 --> 01:03:03,840
Speaker 1: although I don't know how they've played. The Jets have

1306
01:03:03,880 --> 01:03:07,400
Speaker 1: played the Patriots twice. The Dolphins would be in the division.

1307
01:03:07,440 --> 01:03:10,000
Speaker 1: They might face Gordon. Dolphins have played him once. Yeah, right,

1308
01:03:10,000 --> 01:03:12,080
Speaker 1: so they face Gordon at least once. But if you

1309
01:03:12,120 --> 01:03:14,760
Speaker 1: list not really worried exactly about and the other team

1310
01:03:14,800 --> 01:03:17,760
Speaker 1: would be the Bengals. Who is who are the right?

1311
01:03:17,960 --> 01:03:20,120
Speaker 1: They're both without a win. I gotta I don't know

1312
01:03:20,240 --> 01:03:23,240
Speaker 1: what the waiver order is right now, easier because it's

1313
01:03:23,280 --> 01:03:25,320
Speaker 1: by strength of schedule. So what you're telling me, then

1314
01:03:25,360 --> 01:03:28,480
Speaker 1: if if the Patriots can stall him, hold him until Wednesday,

1315
01:03:28,680 --> 01:03:30,520
Speaker 1: then it goes through the waiver and that's good, I

1316
01:03:30,520 --> 01:03:32,760
Speaker 1: think better for the Patriots, I would think. So then

1317
01:03:32,800 --> 01:03:34,640
Speaker 1: he can't go to the Kansas City Chiefs. He can't

1318
01:03:34,680 --> 01:03:37,120
Speaker 1: go to you know, the Chargers or any other team.

1319
01:03:37,280 --> 01:03:40,480
Speaker 1: You would think that he would get nowhere near anywhere

1320
01:03:41,080 --> 01:03:44,000
Speaker 1: you would think he would get nowhere near uh, based

1321
01:03:44,000 --> 01:03:47,000
Speaker 1: on the waiver order a team that's in contention, and

1322
01:03:47,000 --> 01:03:49,560
Speaker 1: if you're if you're the Dolphins, I mean, what do

1323
01:03:49,560 --> 01:03:52,080
Speaker 1: you have to lose on that one? Right? You're not

1324
01:03:52,600 --> 01:03:55,800
Speaker 1: You're not chasing the season here, number one. You're gonna

1325
01:03:55,840 --> 01:03:57,680
Speaker 1: start to build for the future. At some point they

1326
01:03:57,680 --> 01:04:00,680
Speaker 1: were in on jadebian Clowney, so they were really interested

1327
01:04:00,720 --> 01:04:03,320
Speaker 1: in starting the grab guys that they can have for

1328
01:04:03,400 --> 01:04:06,080
Speaker 1: the future, while also I won't see the T word,

1329
01:04:06,120 --> 01:04:09,240
Speaker 1: but while also planning for the draft next year. That's

1330
01:04:09,240 --> 01:04:14,720
Speaker 1: the way. Yes, um so uh to me. And if

1331
01:04:14,720 --> 01:04:16,680
Speaker 1: it doesn't, if it doesn't work out, again, what do

1332
01:04:16,680 --> 01:04:17,920
Speaker 1: you have to lose? All right? You just you just

1333
01:04:18,000 --> 01:04:19,760
Speaker 1: let him go? We ask you about Gordon because you

1334
01:04:19,800 --> 01:04:22,120
Speaker 1: have a history of kind of figuring out where top

1335
01:04:22,120 --> 01:04:24,280
Speaker 1: receivers are gonna go. You're the guy who broke the

1336
01:04:24,280 --> 01:04:27,920
Speaker 1: Oldell Beckham story last spring, right, Yeah, yeah, right that.

1337
01:04:28,280 --> 01:04:32,640
Speaker 1: I also had Cole Beasley coming here too, So you

1338
01:04:32,680 --> 01:04:35,480
Speaker 1: want to know how that Odell one came about? It

1339
01:04:35,520 --> 01:04:38,880
Speaker 1: was yeah, well yeah, it's it's uh. That was an

1340
01:04:38,880 --> 01:04:40,640
Speaker 1: interesting one because when I got the text, it was

1341
01:04:41,480 --> 01:04:44,160
Speaker 1: probably about the fourth or fifth time that I had

1342
01:04:44,480 --> 01:04:46,640
Speaker 1: heard it was going down. In the first three or

1343
01:04:46,640 --> 01:04:48,760
Speaker 1: four whatever was wound up being no. They wound up

1344
01:04:48,800 --> 01:04:51,080
Speaker 1: being bunk. And so I said, let me check this

1345
01:04:51,120 --> 01:04:52,960
Speaker 1: one out again, and it was that one turned out

1346
01:04:52,960 --> 01:04:55,920
Speaker 1: to be to be true. Um, the Odell situation is

1347
01:04:55,960 --> 01:04:58,280
Speaker 1: interesting in Cleveland because I thought one of their best games,

1348
01:04:58,320 --> 01:05:00,880
Speaker 1: while I don't think you just look at their best

1349
01:05:00,920 --> 01:05:04,080
Speaker 1: game offensively, was the game against Baltimore that I covered

1350
01:05:04,080 --> 01:05:06,800
Speaker 1: down there where he had two catches, but there was

1351
01:05:06,880 --> 01:05:12,200
Speaker 1: so much from Baltimore's end focused on him that Jarvis

1352
01:05:12,240 --> 01:05:14,240
Speaker 1: Landry was running wide open and some of these other

1353
01:05:14,240 --> 01:05:17,120
Speaker 1: guys were running wide open. The tight end. Uh, both

1354
01:05:17,440 --> 01:05:19,640
Speaker 1: d backs it was there were two, now it was

1355
01:05:20,000 --> 01:05:24,000
Speaker 1: Ricky Seals Jones. Uh, those two are he and Seals

1356
01:05:24,040 --> 01:05:25,880
Speaker 1: Jones are on that side of the field. There's two

1357
01:05:25,960 --> 01:05:28,480
Speaker 1: d backs, both of them crashed down on Beckham and

1358
01:05:28,480 --> 01:05:30,760
Speaker 1: the tight ends running wide opened down the field. And

1359
01:05:30,800 --> 01:05:33,400
Speaker 1: so after that game I said to myself, I actually

1360
01:05:33,440 --> 01:05:35,600
Speaker 1: tweeted out. I said, look, you know, people, if you're

1361
01:05:35,640 --> 01:05:38,800
Speaker 1: watching this game and you're you're all over Beckham, he's

1362
01:05:38,840 --> 01:05:41,919
Speaker 1: not getting shut out or or or anything like that.

1363
01:05:43,040 --> 01:05:46,000
Speaker 1: He's actually being used as an effective decoy today, and

1364
01:05:46,240 --> 01:05:48,400
Speaker 1: not that he was a decoy, but you take how

1365
01:05:48,440 --> 01:05:51,320
Speaker 1: the defense is playing you. It's opening stuff up for

1366
01:05:51,320 --> 01:05:53,640
Speaker 1: everybody else. But I'm thinking to myself after the end,

1367
01:05:53,680 --> 01:05:55,760
Speaker 1: and of course people who have Odell and fantasy were

1368
01:05:55,800 --> 01:05:58,480
Speaker 1: just all over me, and I'm saying, just watch the game.

1369
01:05:58,520 --> 01:06:00,160
Speaker 1: I know it doesn't help your fantasy game, but a

1370
01:06:00,160 --> 01:06:02,760
Speaker 1: football standpoint, it was their most effective thing. Well what

1371
01:06:02,840 --> 01:06:04,520
Speaker 1: do they do the next week? They try to come

1372
01:06:04,520 --> 01:06:06,000
Speaker 1: out and get him involved as much as they and

1373
01:06:06,000 --> 01:06:08,840
Speaker 1: it disrupts everything because now you're trying to create stuff

1374
01:06:08,840 --> 01:06:10,800
Speaker 1: for him because you know you want to get him

1375
01:06:10,840 --> 01:06:12,560
Speaker 1: the football, because you know what happens if you don't

1376
01:06:12,560 --> 01:06:16,320
Speaker 1: get him the football. So I just to me, if

1377
01:06:16,360 --> 01:06:18,720
Speaker 1: I'm Freddie Kitchens, I've got to do what's best for

1378
01:06:18,760 --> 01:06:21,760
Speaker 1: my football team and not try to force the ball

1379
01:06:21,800 --> 01:06:24,600
Speaker 1: to him. And if he's upset, just you know, you've

1380
01:06:24,600 --> 01:06:26,520
Speaker 1: got to handle that part of it as well. You

1381
01:06:26,560 --> 01:06:29,440
Speaker 1: finally believe the messages you were getting about that trade though, right,

1382
01:06:29,880 --> 01:06:32,240
Speaker 1: Yes I did. I did eventually when I got a

1383
01:06:32,320 --> 01:06:36,960
Speaker 1: call back from actually two people that were yeah, and

1384
01:06:37,000 --> 01:06:39,720
Speaker 1: I said when they well, actually they called me back

1385
01:06:39,720 --> 01:06:42,840
Speaker 1: together on the same line, and I the one guy

1386
01:06:43,200 --> 01:06:44,960
Speaker 1: I pick up and then I hear the other guy.

1387
01:06:45,080 --> 01:06:47,919
Speaker 1: I'm like, there's three way calling me. I'm like, oh

1388
01:06:47,960 --> 01:06:50,920
Speaker 1: my god, this is real. I actually I told the

1389
01:06:50,920 --> 01:06:56,480
Speaker 1: story for our around the NFL bloggers. I started to

1390
01:06:56,480 --> 01:06:59,200
Speaker 1: make my wife a drink. She's had a you know,

1391
01:06:59,200 --> 01:07:00,760
Speaker 1: a long day, I said. I mean, I've been working

1392
01:07:00,760 --> 01:07:02,360
Speaker 1: all day. You took care of the baby. So I

1393
01:07:02,400 --> 01:07:05,400
Speaker 1: start to make the drink, put the ice in the shaker,

1394
01:07:05,960 --> 01:07:07,880
Speaker 1: and when the text came in and I and in

1395
01:07:07,960 --> 01:07:10,120
Speaker 1: the phone rang I walked away. The next morning, I

1396
01:07:10,200 --> 01:07:14,840
Speaker 1: realized I never made you like, no, I don't worry

1397
01:07:14,840 --> 01:07:16,760
Speaker 1: about it, all right. I gotta ask you about one

1398
01:07:16,880 --> 01:07:18,760
Speaker 1: one story that you got to settle a debate between

1399
01:07:18,840 --> 01:07:22,120
Speaker 1: Murph and I. Is the Tom Brady thing last year

1400
01:07:22,160 --> 01:07:24,000
Speaker 1: in New England? Is that a made up story? It's

1401
01:07:24,040 --> 01:07:27,120
Speaker 1: not Wow, it's not a made up story. It's it's

1402
01:07:27,360 --> 01:07:34,960
Speaker 1: you know, I'm not gonna guess some people are some reporting,

1403
01:07:35,800 --> 01:07:37,560
Speaker 1: But the problem is all the reports at this point,

1404
01:07:37,560 --> 01:07:39,800
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be guesses because you don't really know, right,

1405
01:07:39,880 --> 01:07:44,040
Speaker 1: So I don't know. I know that it's it's TBD

1406
01:07:44,360 --> 01:07:47,080
Speaker 1: and it's and it's been TBD for a while there.

1407
01:07:47,120 --> 01:07:48,440
Speaker 1: To be honest with you, I mean, there's a lot

1408
01:07:48,440 --> 01:07:50,760
Speaker 1: of possibilities. It goes, it runs the whole gamut. And

1409
01:07:50,880 --> 01:07:52,959
Speaker 1: it was funny today they said he's either gonna stay

1410
01:07:52,960 --> 01:07:54,760
Speaker 1: in New England, He's either gonna play for somebody else,

1411
01:07:54,840 --> 01:07:57,000
Speaker 1: or he's gonna retire. Well, no kiddings pretty much. Okay,

1412
01:07:57,040 --> 01:07:59,080
Speaker 1: so there you go. But here's nothing too. If you

1413
01:07:59,160 --> 01:08:01,240
Speaker 1: if he's selling his house and his buddy's selling his

1414
01:08:01,360 --> 01:08:04,280
Speaker 1: house and all of that stuff, and he's in the

1415
01:08:04,360 --> 01:08:07,160
Speaker 1: last year of a contract and for years he's played

1416
01:08:07,240 --> 01:08:10,360
Speaker 1: underneath his value, Yeah, what better way is there to

1417
01:08:10,400 --> 01:08:13,920
Speaker 1: posture for a new contract? Sure? Absolutely, you may be

1418
01:08:14,000 --> 01:08:17,040
Speaker 1: seeing through this whole thing, right, I mean, he says

1419
01:08:17,040 --> 01:08:18,880
Speaker 1: he's ready to go, and they don't want him to,

1420
01:08:19,000 --> 01:08:22,439
Speaker 1: or maybe they do one way or the other. And

1421
01:08:22,520 --> 01:08:25,240
Speaker 1: I know this, I've seen it a number of times

1422
01:08:25,280 --> 01:08:29,360
Speaker 1: for truly great legendary players. A lot of the time,

1423
01:08:29,360 --> 01:08:32,000
Speaker 1: it doesn't end well if you go somewhere else. It

1424
01:08:32,000 --> 01:08:33,960
Speaker 1: doesn't end well at that team that you were great with.

1425
01:08:34,360 --> 01:08:37,719
Speaker 1: Joe Montana ends up, Johnny u Ninus was a charger,

1426
01:08:38,280 --> 01:08:42,080
Speaker 1: you know. I mean, all these guys and Marcus Allen Left.

1427
01:08:42,120 --> 01:08:44,960
Speaker 1: I mean, Jerry Rice bounced around the league. These guys,

1428
01:08:45,040 --> 01:08:47,520
Speaker 1: you know, they kind of go places, even after a legendary,

1429
01:08:47,560 --> 01:08:50,360
Speaker 1: awesome career, Yeah, because they want to play and the

1430
01:08:50,400 --> 01:08:53,120
Speaker 1: team that they were great with doesn't. Do you think

1431
01:08:53,160 --> 01:08:55,400
Speaker 1: it could happen like that in New England where he

1432
01:08:55,479 --> 01:08:57,360
Speaker 1: ends up somewhere else where it ends up a little

1433
01:08:57,400 --> 01:08:59,600
Speaker 1: bit bitter. Yeah, I think he could. I think the

1434
01:09:00,000 --> 01:09:02,280
Speaker 1: I think on how the Patriots handle it. Uh, he

1435
01:09:02,360 --> 01:09:04,760
Speaker 1: may want to go somewhere else just despite them. You know,

1436
01:09:04,960 --> 01:09:06,760
Speaker 1: he may want to go too. And then people have

1437
01:09:06,760 --> 01:09:09,479
Speaker 1: already drawn the connections with Rabel in Tennessee. For a

1438
01:09:09,479 --> 01:09:11,840
Speaker 1: team that needs a quarterback, bouldn't they love to get

1439
01:09:12,400 --> 01:09:14,240
Speaker 1: Tom Brady coming in, even if he is forty three

1440
01:09:14,320 --> 01:09:17,000
Speaker 1: years old at the time. So yeah, I could see

1441
01:09:17,000 --> 01:09:18,559
Speaker 1: that for sure, And I think it's on the table.

1442
01:09:18,880 --> 01:09:22,559
Speaker 1: I just to me, I'm not buying it yet. I

1443
01:09:22,640 --> 01:09:24,679
Speaker 1: still got him back in New England. Oh yeah, but

1444
01:09:24,960 --> 01:09:28,160
Speaker 1: you know that's gonna have to be handled the right way. Yeah,

1445
01:09:28,160 --> 01:09:29,799
Speaker 1: And I think I think a lot of these guys,

1446
01:09:30,880 --> 01:09:33,880
Speaker 1: maybe not Brady specifically, because I don't want to necessarily

1447
01:09:33,920 --> 01:09:35,960
Speaker 1: put they want to be shown the love right, you

1448
01:09:36,040 --> 01:09:37,439
Speaker 1: only want to be shown the love all the way

1449
01:09:37,479 --> 01:09:39,360
Speaker 1: to the end. So this is a good opportunity for

1450
01:09:39,439 --> 01:09:42,840
Speaker 1: him to say, Okay, what do they still think of me? What? What?

1451
01:09:42,840 --> 01:09:44,519
Speaker 1: What would they be willing to do for me at

1452
01:09:44,520 --> 01:09:46,960
Speaker 1: this point? Right, you're reporting here from Orchard Park today

1453
01:09:47,000 --> 01:09:49,080
Speaker 1: on the network, Right, what can Bills fans look to see?

1454
01:09:49,280 --> 01:09:51,600
Speaker 1: I am, Yes, We're gonna get open locker room here

1455
01:09:51,640 --> 01:09:53,400
Speaker 1: in a little bit. I got some questions for some folks.

1456
01:09:53,400 --> 01:09:55,200
Speaker 1: I had a guy hit me on Twitter just before

1457
01:09:55,200 --> 01:09:57,679
Speaker 1: I came on here because I guess he saw my report,

1458
01:09:57,760 --> 01:10:00,439
Speaker 1: probably on Good Morning Football, which is rerunning right now,

1459
01:10:01,240 --> 01:10:03,920
Speaker 1: and he said, you just mentioned the Eagles. You didn't

1460
01:10:03,960 --> 01:10:05,840
Speaker 1: even talk about the Bills. And I replied, I'm in

1461
01:10:05,880 --> 01:10:08,720
Speaker 1: Buffalo today, Yeah, you're at the Eagles, and yeah, right,

1462
01:10:09,000 --> 01:10:11,080
Speaker 1: why would I Yeah, I mean I could talk about

Speaker 1: the Bills, but I was I knew I was coming

01:10:13,040 --> 01:10:15,120

01:10:39,800 --> 01:10:42,160
Speaker 1: forward for the Bills offense? What do you think? We'll

01:11:00,000 --> 01:11:02,599
Speaker 1: going on. We already talked with Ink Greece on WIP

1480
01:11:02,760 --> 01:11:06,200
Speaker 1: Radio and Philadelphia about the Eagles. We just debriefed Mike

1481
01:11:06,240 --> 01:11:08,920
Speaker 1: Garofoddle from the NFL Network. He'll be here today. You

Speaker 1: can catch his reports there. Isaam McKenzie is going to

1483
01:11:11,400 --> 01:11:15,320
Speaker 1: join us after practice. Bills still practicing, still practicing right now,

1484
01:11:15,360 --> 01:11:18,320
Speaker 1: so we have time to dive into our Twitter poll.

1485
01:11:18,360 --> 01:11:20,560
Speaker 1: We think it's a good one. What's the most important

1486
01:11:20,600 --> 01:11:24,120
Speaker 1: step forward for the Buffalo Bills offensively? Look, the defense

1487
01:11:24,200 --> 01:11:27,320
Speaker 1: isn't awful, but they can get better. Okay, you're dropping

1488
01:11:27,360 --> 01:11:30,280
Speaker 1: stopping stuff, Steve standing if you're want standing, so I can.

1489
01:11:30,400 --> 01:11:32,720
Speaker 1: It's easy to get out of my It's easier than

1490
01:11:32,720 --> 01:11:34,439
Speaker 1: getting out of the chair and bend, you know, getting

1491
01:11:34,439 --> 01:11:36,400
Speaker 1: back of the chair. What's the most important step forward

1492
01:11:36,400 --> 01:11:38,960
Speaker 1: for the Buffalo offense? On Twitter, we've taken eleven hundred

1493
01:11:39,000 --> 01:11:41,400
Speaker 1: votes in so far. Seventy two percent of you say

1494
01:11:41,520 --> 01:11:47,120
Speaker 1: limit critical mistakes, turnovers, penalties, drops, etc. Fourteen percent of

1495
01:11:47,160 --> 01:11:50,280
Speaker 1: you say, acquire more talent. Well, here comes to trade deadline,

1496
01:11:50,320 --> 01:11:52,679
Speaker 1: that's the time to do it. Nine percent say just wait,

1497
01:11:52,920 --> 01:11:55,479
Speaker 1: they're getting better. Continuity is going to take hold. Nine

1498
01:11:55,479 --> 01:11:57,599
Speaker 1: percent say that, four percent of something else in mind.

1499
01:11:57,800 --> 01:11:59,400
Speaker 1: Let's don't you think. Give us a call eight oh

Speaker 1: brought to you by Corrigan Moving Systems, the official movers

1504
01:12:11,040 --> 01:12:13,120
Speaker 1: of the Buffalo Bill. Steve, you got some good responses

1505
01:12:13,120 --> 01:12:15,080
Speaker 1: on the point. Yeah we do. RN Bills Fans says,

1506
01:12:15,120 --> 01:12:16,840
Speaker 1: this offense has proven it can move the ball and

1507
01:12:16,880 --> 01:12:18,280
Speaker 1: score points. They just need to get out of their

1508
01:12:18,320 --> 01:12:21,360
Speaker 1: own way. Penalties and turnovers are the things that keeping

1509
01:12:21,479 --> 01:12:25,120
Speaker 1: our opponents in these games. And there's a lot to

1510
01:12:25,120 --> 01:12:26,920
Speaker 1: be said for that. That's what I Philadelphia Eagles have

1511
01:12:26,920 --> 01:12:28,880
Speaker 1: been suffering through as well. They have not been able

1512
01:12:28,880 --> 01:12:31,120
Speaker 1: to overcome their own turnovers. And they're three and four

1513
01:12:31,600 --> 01:12:33,400
Speaker 1: instead of five and one or six and one like

1514
01:12:33,439 --> 01:12:37,320
Speaker 1: the Bills or right now, their defense hasn't been able

1515
01:12:37,320 --> 01:12:39,679
Speaker 1: to bail them out like the Buffalo Bills have early

1516
01:12:39,720 --> 01:12:41,880
Speaker 1: in those early in the season. Not only as any question,

1517
01:12:41,920 --> 01:12:46,760
Speaker 1: the Bills turnovers were crushers. So yeah, we'll see the

1518
01:12:46,840 --> 01:12:50,080
Speaker 1: next one on the tweet sheet from Sausage Sausage is

1519
01:12:50,120 --> 01:12:53,719
Speaker 1: interesting get more talent and do so by acquiring Josh Gordon.

1520
01:12:53,760 --> 01:12:57,200
Speaker 1: And we just talked with Gara follow about this. He's

1521
01:12:57,240 --> 01:12:59,599
Speaker 1: not available yet and it's gonna it's hard to envision

1522
01:12:59,600 --> 01:13:02,599
Speaker 1: that happen if they wait until Wednesday, after the trade deadline,

1523
01:13:02,760 --> 01:13:05,080
Speaker 1: he has to go through waivers. I don't have the

1524
01:13:05,200 --> 01:13:07,200
Speaker 1: order of standings right now, but the Bills would be

1525
01:13:07,680 --> 01:13:11,479
Speaker 1: in the top what ten, five maybe five by record, Yeah,

1526
01:13:11,520 --> 01:13:13,479
Speaker 1: so they probably wouldn't get a chance at Josh Gordon

1527
01:13:13,840 --> 01:13:16,000
Speaker 1: right Yeah, they won't get a chance at him. And

1528
01:13:16,080 --> 01:13:18,479
Speaker 1: if they cut him. Now, he'll be a free agent

1529
01:13:18,840 --> 01:13:20,320
Speaker 1: and it would be up to him to pick the

1530
01:13:20,320 --> 01:13:22,600
Speaker 1: team that he wants to go to. It's not like

1531
01:13:22,640 --> 01:13:25,280
Speaker 1: we can trade for him. Certainly we can kick the tires,

1532
01:13:25,280 --> 01:13:27,840
Speaker 1: see what he's asking for. Bills certainly have money to

1533
01:13:27,880 --> 01:13:30,679
Speaker 1: spend for a guy like Josh Gordon if they feel

1534
01:13:30,720 --> 01:13:34,120
Speaker 1: like they can, but as of now, he's not available,

1535
01:13:34,800 --> 01:13:37,880
Speaker 1: and if they wait until Wednesday, they probably won't have

1536
01:13:37,920 --> 01:13:42,360
Speaker 1: a chance at him anyway. Yeah, so that's that with

1537
01:13:42,400 --> 01:13:44,519
Speaker 1: the Josh Gordon thing. Let's go back to the tweet

1538
01:13:44,560 --> 01:13:47,080
Speaker 1: sheet fur from James. He says, I believe continuity is

1539
01:13:47,120 --> 01:13:50,759
Speaker 1: coming with basically ten new starters on offense. It's crazy

1540
01:13:50,880 --> 01:13:54,120
Speaker 1: that we're five and one. They've played twenty four meaningful

1541
01:13:54,200 --> 01:13:57,920
Speaker 1: quarters of football together and singletary Croft and Duke are

1542
01:13:57,960 --> 01:14:00,439
Speaker 1: just getting put in Devon's back from injury and the

1543
01:14:00,439 --> 01:14:03,160
Speaker 1: best is yet to come. McDermott as Coach of the Year.

1544
01:14:03,560 --> 01:14:07,880
Speaker 1: Well there you go. There's there's some optimism right there.

1545
01:14:07,880 --> 01:14:10,400
Speaker 1: And hey, Sean, don't get me wrong, Sean mcdermots doing

1546
01:14:10,439 --> 01:14:13,320
Speaker 1: a heck of a job. I think he's this thing,

1547
01:14:13,479 --> 01:14:17,519
Speaker 1: this whole place that they find themselves in with a

1548
01:14:17,560 --> 01:14:22,360
Speaker 1: second best record in the conference and five and one

1549
01:14:22,400 --> 01:14:26,439
Speaker 1: on the season. All are due in large part to

1550
01:14:26,520 --> 01:14:28,960
Speaker 1: Sean mcdermot's work with the roster and Brandon Bean's work

1551
01:14:29,000 --> 01:14:31,479
Speaker 1: at the roster and Sean mcdermot's day to day process.

1552
01:14:31,560 --> 01:14:33,800
Speaker 1: That he's got these guys believing it. There's no question

1553
01:14:33,800 --> 01:14:35,439
Speaker 1: about it. And if you want to talk about a

1554
01:14:35,439 --> 01:14:37,960
Speaker 1: guy who's turned around, it has taken you know, a

1555
01:14:38,520 --> 01:14:40,400
Speaker 1: handful of years to do it. Three years in his

1556
01:14:40,520 --> 01:14:44,160
Speaker 1: third year, he's doing it. He's done it, no question

1557
01:14:44,240 --> 01:14:45,680
Speaker 1: about it. And if you want to give him that

1558
01:14:45,960 --> 01:14:47,360
Speaker 1: Coach of the Year on it for this to make

1559
01:14:47,400 --> 01:14:48,920
Speaker 1: sure you know, it's for the last couple of years

1560
01:14:48,920 --> 01:14:51,559
Speaker 1: that he's been pounding away at this rock. One more

1561
01:14:51,600 --> 01:14:53,760
Speaker 1: from the tweet sheet, and this is an interesting one

1562
01:14:53,880 --> 01:14:58,559
Speaker 1: from Max who says, see basically continuity he's coming. Max says,

1563
01:14:58,760 --> 01:15:01,080
Speaker 1: this is still a fairly new group of guys on offense,

1564
01:15:01,160 --> 01:15:04,559
Speaker 1: only two carryover starters from last year. Right, continuity will

1565
01:15:04,600 --> 01:15:06,720
Speaker 1: come and with that the offense will grow and look

1566
01:15:06,760 --> 01:15:09,519
Speaker 1: better as the season progresses. The fans need to rain

1567
01:15:09,520 --> 01:15:12,000
Speaker 1: at rein it in a little bit and trust the

1568
01:15:12,040 --> 01:15:14,840
Speaker 1: coaching staff. Very good points, and it's hard for people

1569
01:15:14,880 --> 01:15:17,960
Speaker 1: to say I think they're going to get better. It's

1570
01:15:17,960 --> 01:15:19,720
Speaker 1: hard for people to do that. You've got an opportunity

1571
01:15:19,720 --> 01:15:22,240
Speaker 1: with a trade deadline to add, you know, new toys

1572
01:15:22,960 --> 01:15:27,000
Speaker 1: to the lineup, right, fresh faces. But look, we're gonna

1573
01:15:27,000 --> 01:15:28,479
Speaker 1: have Brandon being on the show next week and we

1574
01:15:28,479 --> 01:15:30,679
Speaker 1: will deal with these issues like how do you assess

1575
01:15:30,720 --> 01:15:32,920
Speaker 1: whether you're headed in the right direction. Don't want to

1576
01:15:32,920 --> 01:15:35,400
Speaker 1: disrupt too much. I you know, if you're Brandon, mean

1577
01:15:35,479 --> 01:15:37,479
Speaker 1: you look at some of your young guys, yes, receivers,

1578
01:15:37,520 --> 01:15:40,599
Speaker 1: and say we think this guy could be the equivalent

1579
01:15:40,640 --> 01:15:43,120
Speaker 1: of somebody on somebody else's rosters, right, because I think

1580
01:15:43,120 --> 01:15:45,759
Speaker 1: that's part of the equation as you approach trade deadline,

1581
01:15:45,800 --> 01:15:48,040
Speaker 1: what do we have and who's got something better? Really

1582
01:15:48,080 --> 01:15:50,680
Speaker 1: it's a major question. It's interesting too, because there's a

1583
01:15:50,680 --> 01:15:52,120
Speaker 1: lot of ways to look. You're gonna get better, You're

1584
01:15:52,120 --> 01:15:54,439
Speaker 1: gonna continuity's gonna help you get better. Listen, it doesn't

1585
01:15:54,439 --> 01:15:57,160
Speaker 1: mean you're gonna get more talented. It means you're gonna

1586
01:15:57,160 --> 01:15:59,960
Speaker 1: get more productive. It means you're gonna get more successful.

1587
01:16:00,040 --> 01:16:01,760
Speaker 1: It means you're gonna drop the ball list. It means

1588
01:16:01,800 --> 01:16:03,679
Speaker 1: you're gonna fumble the ball list. It means you're gonna

1589
01:16:03,680 --> 01:16:06,200
Speaker 1: take fewer penalties. Your offense is gonna stay on the

1590
01:16:06,200 --> 01:16:09,200
Speaker 1: field more, You're gonna score more points, You're gonna complete

1591
01:16:09,200 --> 01:16:11,679
Speaker 1: more passes. All of those things happen when you cut

1592
01:16:11,680 --> 01:16:14,759
Speaker 1: out the bottom of you know, this offense is plays

1593
01:16:14,840 --> 01:16:17,559
Speaker 1: like the turnovers and the penalties. When you cut those

1594
01:16:17,600 --> 01:16:21,280
Speaker 1: off and you put those on the positive side, this

1595
01:16:21,360 --> 01:16:26,160
Speaker 1: offense has enough talent right now to do anything this

1596
01:16:26,400 --> 01:16:29,759
Speaker 1: team envisions doing, including up to it, including winning a championship.

1597
01:16:29,800 --> 01:16:31,840
Speaker 1: That's what this is all about. You get the most

1598
01:16:31,840 --> 01:16:34,320
Speaker 1: out of these guys. This is as talented a team

1599
01:16:34,360 --> 01:16:37,920
Speaker 1: as as you're gonna need going forward. I'm telling you, really,

1600
01:16:38,040 --> 01:16:41,400
Speaker 1: as long as they play, I've told you I said

1601
01:16:41,439 --> 01:16:44,000
Speaker 1: this the other day. Talent isn't not what wins the

1602
01:16:44,040 --> 01:16:48,040
Speaker 1: Patriots super Bowls. It's execution and lack of mistakes and

1603
01:16:48,280 --> 01:16:51,599
Speaker 1: opportunistic football. It's the talent on the field. Yeah, Okay,

1604
01:16:51,640 --> 01:16:56,040
Speaker 1: they've got Tom Brady, but everybody else's okay. I mean

1605
01:16:56,040 --> 01:16:59,320
Speaker 1: they're okay. Steph Gilmore, Yeah he's he's a really good player,

1606
01:16:59,560 --> 01:17:02,719
Speaker 1: but they've once championships without him. They've got certain things

1607
01:17:02,720 --> 01:17:05,840
Speaker 1: in place in this year's edition of the Patriots. But

1608
01:17:05,880 --> 01:17:08,479
Speaker 1: they're not way more talented than everybody else. They're not

1609
01:17:08,560 --> 01:17:11,280
Speaker 1: knocking people out because of their talent. They're knocking people

1610
01:17:11,320 --> 01:17:14,479
Speaker 1: out because they play mistake free, and everybody else knocks

1611
01:17:14,479 --> 01:17:17,800
Speaker 1: themselves out. We saw that here in Buffalo. That's why

1612
01:17:17,920 --> 01:17:19,880
Speaker 1: the Patriots there. And if you can get your team

1613
01:17:20,040 --> 01:17:22,679
Speaker 1: like this Bills team to play the top of their level,

1614
01:17:23,040 --> 01:17:25,599
Speaker 1: the top of their talent level, and not make those

1615
01:17:25,640 --> 01:17:28,320
Speaker 1: mistakes and not drop the ball or not fumble the

1616
01:17:28,320 --> 01:17:31,800
Speaker 1: ball and not get a stupid penalty, They're gonna be

1617
01:17:31,840 --> 01:17:33,840
Speaker 1: tough to be. You're not saying talent doesn't matter. How

1618
01:17:33,840 --> 01:17:35,880
Speaker 1: are you pleased something? You're not saying that it matters.

1619
01:17:36,160 --> 01:17:39,760
Speaker 1: I'm saying the talents in place already right here. Don't

1620
01:17:39,760 --> 01:17:43,000
Speaker 1: need anything else. Yeah, Like who I mean, you're another

1621
01:17:43,000 --> 01:17:47,120
Speaker 1: wide receiver? You might? You might? I'm not more offensive lineman, yeah,

1622
01:17:47,240 --> 01:17:50,360
Speaker 1: Depth on the defensive line, yeah, depth linebacker. I'd take

1623
01:17:50,400 --> 01:17:51,560
Speaker 1: all of that. I would take all of that. I

1624
01:17:51,560 --> 01:17:54,040
Speaker 1: don't think. Look, you can ask Brandon be next week

1625
01:17:54,040 --> 01:17:55,800
Speaker 1: when he's with us. Do you think he figures he's

1626
01:17:55,800 --> 01:17:58,479
Speaker 1: got a complete roster? I don't need anything else. I'm good,

1627
01:17:58,680 --> 01:18:01,320
Speaker 1: you're Missing's not the point, though, that's I'm telling you,

1628
01:18:01,360 --> 01:18:03,599
Speaker 1: that's not the point. You're always better if you get

1629
01:18:03,600 --> 01:18:05,960
Speaker 1: another bed good player, you're always better. If you get

1630
01:18:05,960 --> 01:18:08,479
Speaker 1: a better player than the one you've got, you're always better.

1631
01:18:08,479 --> 01:18:11,160
Speaker 1: With more time conting yourself, you're always better. But you

1632
01:18:11,160 --> 01:18:14,000
Speaker 1: don't need to be. You got enough now as long

1633
01:18:14,040 --> 01:18:15,960
Speaker 1: as you If you could play with these guys and

1634
01:18:16,000 --> 01:18:18,160
Speaker 1: get these guys working together, if you wouldn't take a

1635
01:18:18,240 --> 01:18:21,679
Speaker 1: stupid holding penalty on a twenty eight yard game, you'd

1636
01:18:21,720 --> 01:18:24,840
Speaker 1: be better. If you wouldn't drop the ball on a

1637
01:18:24,880 --> 01:18:27,320
Speaker 1: simple crossing route when you got nobody in front of you,

1638
01:18:27,320 --> 01:18:29,839
Speaker 1: you'd be better. If you don't take a false start

1639
01:18:29,920 --> 01:18:33,840
Speaker 1: on a third and one, you'd be better. You'd be

1640
01:18:33,920 --> 01:18:37,960
Speaker 1: good enough. Now. Everybody thinks this holy grail is listen,

1641
01:18:37,960 --> 01:18:40,479
Speaker 1: this talent. The holy grail is what we see other

1642
01:18:40,520 --> 01:18:42,840
Speaker 1: teams do to us. They let you beat yourself, They

1643
01:18:42,920 --> 01:18:45,240
Speaker 1: let you take let they let you throw the ball

1644
01:18:45,680 --> 01:18:49,000
Speaker 1: into a team meeting while you're rolling out backwards. They

1645
01:18:49,080 --> 01:18:52,240
Speaker 1: let you do that. That's how they beat us. You know,

1646
01:18:52,320 --> 01:18:54,639
Speaker 1: that's what you gotta keep from doing. Yeah, we've good

1647
01:18:54,640 --> 01:18:56,680
Speaker 1: players always make you better, no question about it. But

1648
01:18:56,720 --> 01:18:59,479
Speaker 1: you've got enough good guys. Now, that's my point to

1649
01:19:00,200 --> 01:19:03,519
Speaker 1: win whatever you want to win a champion. Yeah, I

1650
01:19:03,520 --> 01:19:05,160
Speaker 1: don't know if you think that. You think the Philly

1651
01:19:05,200 --> 01:19:07,599
Speaker 1: Eagles two years ago were way more talented than this team.

1652
01:19:07,600 --> 01:19:12,679
Speaker 1: They were more talented for sure. Where receiver, quarterback? Yeah, yeah,

1653
01:19:12,840 --> 01:19:15,080
Speaker 1: a quarterback, I don't know. Carson wants to start. And

1654
01:19:15,120 --> 01:19:17,240
Speaker 1: then Folds was red hot down the stairs. You say

1655
01:19:17,240 --> 01:19:20,519
Speaker 1: you'd take fulls over our guy. He finished off for him. Gad,

1656
01:19:20,600 --> 01:19:24,040
Speaker 1: you would take fulls overall guy. Even two years what

1657
01:19:24,040 --> 01:19:26,439
Speaker 1: you're two years ago was better and he played what

1658
01:19:26,520 --> 01:19:28,599
Speaker 1: two thirds of the season for them. He's better than

1659
01:19:28,640 --> 01:19:31,160
Speaker 1: he was having an MVP season, no question. Yeah, he's

1660
01:19:31,280 --> 01:19:33,760
Speaker 1: no question. He was better than where Josh Allen their

1661
01:19:33,800 --> 01:19:36,400
Speaker 1: defense better than this one. Um, yeah, it was good,

1662
01:19:36,880 --> 01:19:39,240
Speaker 1: really good. It's a different there's different places where they

1663
01:19:39,280 --> 01:19:41,880
Speaker 1: were talented. Yeah, no question. They maybe had a better

1664
01:19:41,920 --> 01:19:45,519
Speaker 1: seat receiving, were more proven receiving, so receiving zero. You're

1665
01:19:45,520 --> 01:19:48,559
Speaker 1: seeing the Bills have championship talent right now. Oh, I

1666
01:19:48,600 --> 01:19:51,479
Speaker 1: think a lot of teams do. Okay, if that team

1667
01:19:51,479 --> 01:19:53,760
Speaker 1: of New England can win championship with the talent they've

1668
01:19:53,800 --> 01:19:57,880
Speaker 1: got there's a lot of teams that could. That's my point.

1669
01:19:57,920 --> 01:20:01,400
Speaker 1: Butch and Buffalo you're on there. Butcher, go ahead, guys,

1670
01:20:01,400 --> 01:20:03,400
Speaker 1: thanks so much for taking my car. And I'm glad

1671
01:20:03,479 --> 01:20:07,599
Speaker 1: that you just asked Steve that question to John. Steve,

1672
01:20:07,800 --> 01:20:11,400
Speaker 1: you saying we have the championship talent on this roster currently,

1673
01:20:11,439 --> 01:20:14,280
Speaker 1: like like like, John just said, to win a championship

1674
01:20:14,360 --> 01:20:17,240
Speaker 1: right now. Yesterday you had a call from a guy

1675
01:20:17,320 --> 01:20:21,040
Speaker 1: named Mike. Mike said we had hit New England with

1676
01:20:21,120 --> 01:20:24,280
Speaker 1: championships and he had Buffalo and wild card. I understood

1677
01:20:24,320 --> 01:20:27,559
Speaker 1: exactly what he meant. He said Buffalo was built now

1678
01:20:27,640 --> 01:20:31,280
Speaker 1: to win a wild card, like New England got Mohammed

1679
01:20:31,360 --> 01:20:35,400
Speaker 1: Sunew to win championships, to win rings. They have rings,

1680
01:20:35,720 --> 01:20:40,439
Speaker 1: We have AFC championships. We need rings now moving forward

1681
01:20:40,520 --> 01:20:43,240
Speaker 1: saying that Steven, I love you, Steven ain't personally. That's right,

1682
01:20:43,360 --> 01:20:46,200
Speaker 1: go ahead, but you're on a roll. Go man, It's

1683
01:20:46,280 --> 01:20:50,960
Speaker 1: just that we need more talent now. I can come

1684
01:20:51,040 --> 01:20:54,120
Speaker 1: with Steve when he says this, We have enough talent

1685
01:20:54,560 --> 01:20:57,880
Speaker 1: in this locker room to win now, but we still

1686
01:20:57,920 --> 01:21:00,800
Speaker 1: need more to win a championship, not to went a

1687
01:21:00,880 --> 01:21:04,479
Speaker 1: wild card shot to get into the playoffs. Now saying

1688
01:21:04,520 --> 01:21:08,040
Speaker 1: that last year Brian Dable was upstairs in that box

1689
01:21:08,080 --> 01:21:11,840
Speaker 1: calling plays. We didn't have enough talent. Brandon Bean and

1690
01:21:11,920 --> 01:21:16,720
Speaker 1: Sean McDermot went to the supermarket and brought enough groceries

1691
01:21:16,920 --> 01:21:20,400
Speaker 1: and put it on these shelves to win. Brian Dable

1692
01:21:20,680 --> 01:21:24,120
Speaker 1: came downstairs and it is calling a Michael Wave type

1693
01:21:24,160 --> 01:21:28,800
Speaker 1: offense instead of going upstairs or sending Ken Dorsey upstairs

1694
01:21:28,479 --> 01:21:30,720
Speaker 1: so we can cook out the oven. What I mean

1695
01:21:30,760 --> 01:21:36,559
Speaker 1: by that, Johnny, get those in five of last yes,

1696
01:21:37,280 --> 01:21:40,880
Speaker 1: a last game. The third in five we go bomb

1697
01:21:41,320 --> 01:21:43,439
Speaker 1: at the same time we were trying to come back.

1698
01:21:43,920 --> 01:21:46,120
Speaker 1: We are not in the position. We have plays when

1699
01:21:46,120 --> 01:21:48,240
Speaker 1: they're called at the long time, and a lot of

1700
01:21:48,240 --> 01:21:51,879
Speaker 1: these players don't be wrong. Josh Allen has his issues

1701
01:21:51,920 --> 01:21:54,320
Speaker 1: that he needs to correct what he owned up to.

1702
01:21:54,720 --> 01:21:57,240
Speaker 1: I concur with that. I believe that. But if he

1703
01:21:57,560 --> 01:22:00,880
Speaker 1: he sends Ken Dorsey's upstairs and so he can call

1704
01:22:00,960 --> 01:22:04,120
Speaker 1: the place at the right time and put the offense

1705
01:22:04,120 --> 01:22:07,560
Speaker 1: into right situations, we will be successful. Now leaving that,

1706
01:22:07,600 --> 01:22:09,320
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna hang up, and I appreciate your time,

1707
01:22:09,560 --> 01:22:13,839
Speaker 1: but I tell you I hear you. Go ahead. Josh

1708
01:22:13,840 --> 01:22:17,800
Speaker 1: Gordon is the perfect candidate he gets, at least by

1709
01:22:17,800 --> 01:22:20,719
Speaker 1: New England to bring to a small town like Buffalo,

1710
01:22:21,040 --> 01:22:24,080
Speaker 1: with the facilities we have where you guys are to

1711
01:22:24,080 --> 01:22:26,840
Speaker 1: bring him in to get therapy even if we don't,

1712
01:22:26,880 --> 01:22:28,479
Speaker 1: Even if we don't use him this year, we got

1713
01:22:28,520 --> 01:22:30,880
Speaker 1: him for the future where he can get counseling if

1714
01:22:30,880 --> 01:22:34,280
Speaker 1: he needs and in therapy that would be a good

1715
01:22:34,320 --> 01:22:36,840
Speaker 1: pick up. I love both of you, guys, and thank

1716
01:22:36,880 --> 01:22:40,200
Speaker 1: you so much for my co All right, but thanks.

1717
01:22:40,280 --> 01:22:44,599
Speaker 1: Here's the thing I'm always gonna say, more talent makes

1718
01:22:44,640 --> 01:22:47,080
Speaker 1: you better. I get that. But I'm saying now, is

1719
01:22:48,120 --> 01:22:50,240
Speaker 1: this talent we have we have yet to tap into

1720
01:22:50,280 --> 01:22:53,080
Speaker 1: all the talent we have offensively. Defensively, they're playing lights out,

1721
01:22:53,080 --> 01:22:55,880
Speaker 1: they're playing really well. Certainly the turnovers are big part

1722
01:22:55,880 --> 01:22:58,160
Speaker 1: of it, and those are a little unpredictable. But I'm

1723
01:22:58,160 --> 01:22:59,920
Speaker 1: telling you that we have not tapped into the talent

1724
01:23:00,000 --> 01:23:03,600
Speaker 1: we already have offensively. And Butch got into this. He

1725
01:23:03,640 --> 01:23:05,760
Speaker 1: mentioned a specific third and five play where they threw

1726
01:23:05,800 --> 01:23:07,880
Speaker 1: the ball deep. Don't ever get caught up in an

1727
01:23:07,920 --> 01:23:10,960
Speaker 1: offense where it's a third and one or third and

1728
01:23:10,960 --> 01:23:12,960
Speaker 1: five or what have you, where they throw the ball

1729
01:23:12,960 --> 01:23:14,400
Speaker 1: deep in thing. What are they doing thrown it that

1730
01:23:14,439 --> 01:23:17,960
Speaker 1: deep on a low percentage because the play probably or

1731
01:23:18,040 --> 01:23:20,000
Speaker 1: may not have been designed to go deep. It may

1732
01:23:20,040 --> 01:23:22,000
Speaker 1: have been the only thing left over. A guy might

1733
01:23:22,040 --> 01:23:23,680
Speaker 1: have got covered underneath. They might have called it for

1734
01:23:23,720 --> 01:23:26,640
Speaker 1: something different. The quarterback might have mistakenly checked out of it.

1735
01:23:27,160 --> 01:23:29,960
Speaker 1: You know, there's a million, a million reasons maybe not

1736
01:23:30,000 --> 01:23:31,840
Speaker 1: a million, but a bunch of reasons why a play

1737
01:23:32,560 --> 01:23:35,800
Speaker 1: is unsuccessful on a critical down. Some of it has

1738
01:23:35,840 --> 01:23:38,559
Speaker 1: to do with the defense. But if a quarterback throws

1739
01:23:38,600 --> 01:23:41,479
Speaker 1: it deep, that doesn't mean that necessarily they were hoping

1740
01:23:41,520 --> 01:23:43,439
Speaker 1: he would throw it deep when they called the play.

1741
01:23:43,920 --> 01:23:46,400
Speaker 1: So don't think that the play call had anything to

1742
01:23:46,400 --> 01:23:48,519
Speaker 1: do with the result. Because the players, once the ball

1743
01:23:48,560 --> 01:23:51,559
Speaker 1: is snapped, they kind of, you know, they react, and

1744
01:23:51,640 --> 01:23:53,599
Speaker 1: sometimes they make a mistake and do the wrong thing.

1745
01:23:53,720 --> 01:23:57,240
Speaker 1: So I can't say anything about Brian Dabole except good things,

1746
01:23:57,280 --> 01:24:00,880
Speaker 1: because early in this season he was all and masterful

1747
01:24:00,920 --> 01:24:05,400
Speaker 1: play calls. Josh Allen owes a lot of his progression

1748
01:24:05,439 --> 01:24:08,000
Speaker 1: that we've seen. Forget about wins and losses, going five

1749
01:24:08,040 --> 01:24:11,360
Speaker 1: and one on the season at this point, forget about that.

1750
01:24:11,479 --> 01:24:13,880
Speaker 1: I'm talking about the statistical and just the numbers that

1751
01:24:13,960 --> 01:24:15,920
Speaker 1: Josh Allen's just the way you look at him when

1752
01:24:15,920 --> 01:24:19,559
Speaker 1: he plays football, how he's gotten better. Brian Dayball deserves

1753
01:24:19,640 --> 01:24:22,760
Speaker 1: a lot, a ton of credit for the progress Josh

1754
01:24:22,800 --> 01:24:25,000
Speaker 1: Allen has made. So I'm not gonna get caught up

1755
01:24:25,040 --> 01:24:28,559
Speaker 1: in even a handful of plays where you go why

1756
01:24:28,600 --> 01:24:31,400
Speaker 1: I wonder why you called that play, because because I

1757
01:24:31,439 --> 01:24:33,720
Speaker 1: don't know exactly what was called on the play or

1758
01:24:33,760 --> 01:24:36,040
Speaker 1: why it was called, or all the reasoning behind it.

1759
01:24:36,080 --> 01:24:38,759
Speaker 1: And a lot of times, well almost every time, there's

1760
01:24:38,800 --> 01:24:40,600
Speaker 1: really good reasons for why they do it. So I

1761
01:24:40,680 --> 01:24:43,439
Speaker 1: get the results. Don't go your way. Sometimes it looks

1762
01:24:43,439 --> 01:24:46,000
Speaker 1: like the play was a funky play call, but a

1763
01:24:46,000 --> 01:24:48,360
Speaker 1: lot of times the play was designed to look very

1764
01:24:48,400 --> 01:24:50,960
Speaker 1: differently than the players execute it. Breakcare, We're back, but

1765
01:24:51,080 --> 01:24:53,240
Speaker 1: more Come on back. One build slide presented by Kalat

Speaker 1: of Health. We're live from the Seneca Studio, Seneca Resorts

1767
01:24:56,439 --> 01:25:14,800
Speaker 1: in Casino. Nothing comes close. Welcome Back. One goes live,

1768
01:25:14,840 --> 01:25:17,840
Speaker 1: John Murphy Steve Tasker in our studio in Orchard Park.

1769
01:25:18,080 --> 01:25:20,800
Speaker 1: Bill's practice continues should be rapping up shortly and after

1770
01:25:20,880 --> 01:25:25,080
Speaker 1: practice we'll hear from Isaiah McKenzie. Bill's wide receiver, and

1771
01:25:25,080 --> 01:25:27,040
Speaker 1: I don't know from you what's the most important next

1772
01:25:27,040 --> 01:25:29,800
Speaker 1: step for the Bill's offense. That is our Twitter poll.

1773
01:25:29,840 --> 01:25:32,400
Speaker 1: We're getting good response on that. Most of you say

1774
01:25:33,000 --> 01:25:36,599
Speaker 1: the most important next step is basically to stop hurting yourself, right,

1775
01:25:36,600 --> 01:25:38,840
Speaker 1: and I think that makes sense. Seventy five percent. Seventy

1776
01:25:38,840 --> 01:25:43,080
Speaker 1: three percent say limit crucial mistakes, turnovers, penalties, etc. Some

1777
01:25:43,160 --> 01:25:44,960
Speaker 1: of you say, acquire more talents. Some of you say,

1778
01:25:45,040 --> 01:25:47,880
Speaker 1: just sit tight. Continuity is coming on its way. Let's

1779
01:25:47,880 --> 01:25:50,280
Speaker 1: hear from me on the phone lines eight fifty toll

1780
01:25:50,320 --> 01:25:53,960
Speaker 1: free one eight eight eight five fifty two five fifty,

1781
01:25:54,240 --> 01:25:56,960
Speaker 1: Chuck and Elma. Hello Chuck, Welcome to the show. Hey,

1782
01:25:57,080 --> 01:26:01,559
Speaker 1: how are we doing, guys? Okay, yeah, Murph, question for you.

1783
01:26:02,760 --> 01:26:06,040
Speaker 1: That New England game correct at home? I saw it.

1784
01:26:06,080 --> 01:26:07,720
Speaker 1: I called it on the radio. Yes, did the play

1785
01:26:07,760 --> 01:26:11,400
Speaker 1: by play? All right? Now? I have to agree with Steve. Now,

1786
01:26:11,479 --> 01:26:15,479
Speaker 1: after seeing that game, we could have beat them very easily.

1787
01:26:15,960 --> 01:26:19,680
Speaker 1: But we beat ourselves. Correct. The block punt was a

1788
01:26:19,720 --> 01:26:24,320
Speaker 1: major factor. Absolutely. Yeah, Okay, So by seeing that game

1789
01:26:24,360 --> 01:26:26,439
Speaker 1: and knowing we beat ourselves out of the game, we

1790
01:26:26,439 --> 01:26:29,000
Speaker 1: could have very easily beat beat them. Now they're the

1791
01:26:29,000 --> 01:26:32,840
Speaker 1: world champions. So in my opinion, yeah, we do have

1792
01:26:32,960 --> 01:26:36,920
Speaker 1: all the pieces in place to be a world championship

1793
01:26:37,000 --> 01:26:40,920
Speaker 1: team with the talent we have. Okay, it's let me

1794
01:26:40,920 --> 01:26:43,639
Speaker 1: answer them. You're right, the pieces could be in place,

1795
01:26:43,920 --> 01:26:46,200
Speaker 1: they can get better. They might need more talent, and

1796
01:26:46,240 --> 01:26:48,560
Speaker 1: I think you increase your chances of winning if you

1797
01:26:48,640 --> 01:26:50,800
Speaker 1: have more talent. That's all I'm saying. I'm not looking.

1798
01:26:51,240 --> 01:26:52,800
Speaker 1: You have been listening to the show this week. If

1799
01:26:52,800 --> 01:26:55,320
Speaker 1: you think I'm advocating a wholesale turnover this roster, I

1800
01:26:55,400 --> 01:26:57,240
Speaker 1: am not. I don't care if they make a deal

1801
01:26:57,280 --> 01:26:59,920
Speaker 1: in the trade deadline. Josh Gordon not likely to be here.

1802
01:27:00,040 --> 01:27:02,080
Speaker 1: I'm okay with that. I like the group they have.

1803
01:27:02,240 --> 01:27:04,639
Speaker 1: But to say that there's championship talent i'm this roster

1804
01:27:04,760 --> 01:27:07,479
Speaker 1: right now, I think is misguided. I'd say that to you, Chuck,

1805
01:27:07,640 --> 01:27:09,599
Speaker 1: and I say that to you, my friend. Yeah, I know.

1806
01:27:09,720 --> 01:27:12,920
Speaker 1: I think. Well, here's the thing. Everybody thinks that what

1807
01:27:14,000 --> 01:27:16,120
Speaker 1: the only thing people are asking for at this point. Really,

1808
01:27:16,120 --> 01:27:18,839
Speaker 1: and you've mentioned O line and all that. Our offensive

1809
01:27:18,840 --> 01:27:21,640
Speaker 1: line is pretty pretty deep, especially when it's healthy. I mean,

1810
01:27:21,640 --> 01:27:23,640
Speaker 1: they've got enough guys. Now they've been nicked up, but

1811
01:27:23,640 --> 01:27:25,320
Speaker 1: that's going to happen. And whether you've got the greatest

1812
01:27:25,320 --> 01:27:27,800
Speaker 1: players in the league or you know, the guys they

1813
01:27:27,800 --> 01:27:31,240
Speaker 1: had last year, you know, I injuries happen, But I

1814
01:27:31,240 --> 01:27:35,840
Speaker 1: think the Bill's defense, the line, and the depth are fine.

1815
01:27:36,360 --> 01:27:38,559
Speaker 1: The one thing that everybody keeps talking about over and

1816
01:27:38,600 --> 01:27:41,040
Speaker 1: over again is a wide receiver, a big time, big,

1817
01:27:41,120 --> 01:27:45,640
Speaker 1: deep wide receiver Julio Johnson and I I hate to

1818
01:27:45,680 --> 01:27:48,439
Speaker 1: say it, but teams have been winning championships without those guys,

1819
01:27:49,120 --> 01:27:53,080
Speaker 1: without that big guy. And I'm saying, while good players

1820
01:27:53,120 --> 01:27:55,479
Speaker 1: always make you better, I eat none of us, can

1821
01:27:55,720 --> 01:27:58,000
Speaker 1: you know? Right? I mean, nobody can dispute that great

1822
01:27:58,240 --> 01:28:00,680
Speaker 1: talented players make you better. If you can get one

1823
01:28:00,680 --> 01:28:02,920
Speaker 1: of those guys, fine, if the price is right, or

1824
01:28:03,000 --> 01:28:05,760
Speaker 1: if it's a can't miss, or if it's a deal

1825
01:28:05,800 --> 01:28:07,920
Speaker 1: you can't walk away from, like in our Twitter poll yesterday,

1826
01:28:07,960 --> 01:28:09,720
Speaker 1: I get all that. Certainly, if you got a guy

1827
01:28:09,760 --> 01:28:13,800
Speaker 1: out there that is significantly better, you gotta go get them.

1828
01:28:13,840 --> 01:28:17,280
Speaker 1: But I'm saying right now, if this team is healthy,

1829
01:28:17,720 --> 01:28:19,519
Speaker 1: they got enough talent to go as far as they

1830
01:28:19,520 --> 01:28:21,840
Speaker 1: want to go this year. Yes, you do, and so,

1831
01:28:22,040 --> 01:28:23,840
Speaker 1: but it's gonna they're gonna have to play better than

1832
01:28:23,880 --> 01:28:26,840
Speaker 1: they have offensively is my point, no question. But I'm

1833
01:28:26,880 --> 01:28:31,080
Speaker 1: thinking by saying that, I'm thinking no penalties, no turnovers.

1834
01:28:31,360 --> 01:28:35,439
Speaker 1: I'm not saying anything else. I'm not saying they need

1835
01:28:35,479 --> 01:28:37,960
Speaker 1: different guys. I'm saying these guys got to cut out

1836
01:28:37,960 --> 01:28:42,720
Speaker 1: their own mistakes when they do that. If they did that,

1837
01:28:42,880 --> 01:28:46,240
Speaker 1: they'd be six and now that's what seventy three to

1838
01:28:46,280 --> 01:28:49,240
Speaker 1: the policy. Yeah, so I'm not I'm not. I'm hey,

1839
01:28:49,520 --> 01:28:51,240
Speaker 1: if they can get another great guy, great, But I

1840
01:28:51,280 --> 01:28:52,920
Speaker 1: think they can go to the World Championship and win

1841
01:28:52,920 --> 01:28:54,760
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl with these guys. But they're gonna have

1842
01:28:54,800 --> 01:28:57,720
Speaker 1: to play better. Take a break. As a McKenzie gonna

1843
01:28:57,760 --> 01:28:59,120
Speaker 1: join us when we come back. Why don't you come

1844
01:28:59,160 --> 01:29:01,800
Speaker 1: on back with us. One Bill's Live presented by Kalada Health.

1851
01:29:30,720 --> 01:29:32,720
Speaker 1: little bit more active today as he comes back from

1852
01:29:32,720 --> 01:29:35,240
Speaker 1: that hamstring issue that kept him out of the Dolphins

1853
01:29:35,280 --> 01:29:37,280
Speaker 1: game and the other injuries as well. We'll get an

1854
01:29:37,320 --> 01:29:40,920
Speaker 1: updates as the afternoon goes along. Bill's getting set to

1855
01:29:40,920 --> 01:29:43,439
Speaker 1: play the Philadelphia Eagles. We've got a long injury list

1856
01:29:43,439 --> 01:29:45,679
Speaker 1: going into this game, with Bill's looking to go six

1857
01:29:45,680 --> 01:29:47,479
Speaker 1: and one with a victory for the first time since

1858
01:29:47,640 --> 01:29:50,840
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety three. The game one o'clock Sunday at newer

1859
01:29:50,920 --> 01:29:53,160
Speaker 1: Field Bills and Eagles. We got the broadcast on our

1860
01:29:53,200 --> 01:29:56,400
Speaker 1: flagship radio station, wg OUR Sports Radio five fifty. I

1861
01:29:56,520 --> 01:29:59,440
Speaker 1: have to play by play with Eric Wood and Salcapacho

1862
01:29:59,520 --> 01:30:03,840
Speaker 1: joining the on Sunday at one pm. The Patriots are

1863
01:30:04,040 --> 01:30:07,120
Speaker 1: put the wide receiver Josh Gordon on injured reserve, ending

1864
01:30:07,200 --> 01:30:09,800
Speaker 1: his run in New England. Six games. He had been

1865
01:30:09,800 --> 01:30:12,920
Speaker 1: starting along Julian Edelman. He at twenty catches for one touchdown.

1866
01:30:13,160 --> 01:30:15,040
Speaker 1: His season is over for New England, but he could

1867
01:30:15,160 --> 01:30:17,920
Speaker 1: play with somebody else. Patriots put him on the minor

1868
01:30:18,000 --> 01:30:21,000
Speaker 1: injured reserve designation, which means once he's health they have

1869
01:30:21,080 --> 01:30:24,000
Speaker 1: to release him, and it's likely to happen after Tuesday's

1870
01:30:24,000 --> 01:30:26,599
Speaker 1: trade deadline. Then he is subject to waivers and through

1871
01:30:26,640 --> 01:30:29,120
Speaker 1: the one lost record of various NFL teams. Any team

1872
01:30:29,160 --> 01:30:32,200
Speaker 1: could put him acclaim for Josh Gordon. Thursday Night football tonight,

1889
01:31:19,960 --> 01:31:22,840
Speaker 1: Buffalo Studio special guest in studio with us. Happy to

Speaker 1: have him. He is one of the bills core wide receivers,

1891
01:31:25,640 --> 01:31:27,640
Speaker 1: one of the big contributors on offense. Happy to have

1892
01:31:27,800 --> 01:31:30,799
Speaker 1: Isaia McKenzie in studio with us. HIAA thank come. I appreciate,

1893
01:31:31,000 --> 01:31:32,920
Speaker 1: we appreciate it coming in. I wasn't out there in

1894
01:31:32,920 --> 01:31:35,439
Speaker 1: the cold today. It wasn't pretty bad. It wasn't too bad. Yes,

1895
01:31:35,520 --> 01:31:38,519
Speaker 1: it was pretty bad, but today it was windy, windy, right,

1896
01:31:38,720 --> 01:31:40,679
Speaker 1: very windy, So it was kind of it was kind

1897
01:31:40,680 --> 01:31:43,479
Speaker 1: of hitting us, cutting up a little bit. I was lashy,

1898
01:31:43,520 --> 01:31:46,439
Speaker 1: but today I will long sleeve. But it was it was.

1899
01:31:46,680 --> 01:31:48,880
Speaker 1: It was a little cool, little bad. You and I

1900
01:31:48,920 --> 01:31:50,800
Speaker 1: were talking before we came on, and I told you,

1901
01:31:50,800 --> 01:31:53,800
Speaker 1: and you agreed with me that Ford wet, rainy and

1902
01:31:53,880 --> 01:31:57,840
Speaker 1: forty degrees is much colder than sunny, dry and being

1903
01:31:57,920 --> 01:32:04,559
Speaker 1: twenty degrees out. Yes, and Murphy disputed, players he's much better.

1904
01:32:04,600 --> 01:32:07,640
Speaker 1: I'm going to dispute virtually everything you say now just

1905
01:32:07,680 --> 01:32:09,439
Speaker 1: to make it fun for us right in our wheelhouse.

1906
01:32:10,200 --> 01:32:13,080
Speaker 1: But I agree with that it's way better. Agree it's

1907
01:32:13,120 --> 01:32:17,320
Speaker 1: way better to play in twenty degree weather where it's bright,

1908
01:32:17,360 --> 01:32:20,559
Speaker 1: sunny and dry and forty degree weather when it's colder.

1909
01:32:20,560 --> 01:32:23,760
Speaker 1: We weren't talking about playing playing better. What he's saying,

1910
01:32:23,120 --> 01:32:26,320
Speaker 1: I'm talking about it hasn't much better. I say much

1911
01:32:26,400 --> 01:32:28,560
Speaker 1: you referee this season going in, he's trying to do

1912
01:32:28,640 --> 01:32:30,760
Speaker 1: well whatever. He's had a lot of feels colder. I

1913
01:32:31,280 --> 01:32:32,840
Speaker 1: don't know if it does, but that's all it does.

1914
01:32:32,920 --> 01:32:34,600
Speaker 1: You want to spend the weather this whole second. But

1915
01:32:34,640 --> 01:32:36,880
Speaker 1: I'm just telling you, I'm just Isaiah on the right team.

1916
01:32:37,320 --> 01:32:39,280
Speaker 1: I want to ask you about a particular play for

1917
01:32:39,439 --> 01:32:42,160
Speaker 1: minute offense against Tennessee Titans. I think one of the

1918
01:32:42,160 --> 01:32:44,240
Speaker 1: great drives this team has had in a couple of years.

1919
01:32:44,520 --> 01:32:47,360
Speaker 1: And the one play they had was a shovel passed

1920
01:32:47,400 --> 01:32:49,200
Speaker 1: to you. I'd say them went for forty six yards.

1921
01:32:49,200 --> 01:32:51,360
Speaker 1: That was a backbreaker or the Titans wasn't to talk

1922
01:32:51,400 --> 01:32:53,280
Speaker 1: about that play where it came from. How long you

1923
01:32:53,320 --> 01:32:55,640
Speaker 1: guys been doing that? We've been doing just we've for

1924
01:32:56,600 --> 01:32:59,360
Speaker 1: a while now, even uh since last year. Yeah, we've

1925
01:32:59,800 --> 01:33:02,160
Speaker 1: been installing each and every week. You know, we happen

1926
01:33:02,160 --> 01:33:04,240
Speaker 1: to use it, you know, on that day and at

1927
01:33:04,240 --> 01:33:06,400
Speaker 1: that moment, and it worked. I had a great blocks

1928
01:33:06,439 --> 01:33:08,320
Speaker 1: around the corner and it was just up to me

1929
01:33:08,320 --> 01:33:09,760
Speaker 1: to get right of the corner. Just run fast and

1930
01:33:09,800 --> 01:33:11,599
Speaker 1: you knew all along you had to stay in bounce right.

1931
01:33:11,840 --> 01:33:15,120
Speaker 1: It's forming an offensive. Really, people look at ninety eight

1932
01:33:15,160 --> 01:33:18,519
Speaker 1: yards scoring drives are great, but that drive they burn

1933
01:33:18,600 --> 01:33:20,880
Speaker 1: that clock and make them burn their time outside, to

1934
01:33:20,880 --> 01:33:22,360
Speaker 1: me is one of the great moments of the season

1935
01:33:22,439 --> 01:33:25,360
Speaker 1: so far from six games. Yeah, it is just to

1936
01:33:25,520 --> 01:33:27,800
Speaker 1: seal the deal. And you know know that we can

1937
01:33:27,840 --> 01:33:30,400
Speaker 1: come out in fourth quarter and four minute and do that,

1938
01:33:30,479 --> 01:33:33,320
Speaker 1: so it's pretty good. One more thing, one more sweep.

1939
01:33:33,360 --> 01:33:35,960
Speaker 1: If I mate, you're talking about jet sweep, you you are.

1940
01:33:36,439 --> 01:33:38,680
Speaker 1: You are, mister jet sweep. If you're not getting that,

1941
01:33:38,800 --> 01:33:41,280
Speaker 1: you're I mean a lot of the offense against Miami

1942
01:33:41,360 --> 01:33:44,920
Speaker 1: last Sunday was basically designed to showcase you and the

1943
01:33:44,960 --> 01:33:46,840
Speaker 1: jet sweep and they didn't do it. But how has

1944
01:33:46,840 --> 01:33:48,720
Speaker 1: that become such a prominent part of of what you

1945
01:33:48,720 --> 01:33:50,320
Speaker 1: guys are doing offensive? But well, I tell her as

1946
01:33:50,320 --> 01:33:51,680
Speaker 1: he was all the time of my coach. I'm like,

1947
01:33:51,800 --> 01:33:54,320
Speaker 1: it's a craft, like not everybody can do it. I'm

1948
01:33:54,320 --> 01:33:55,720
Speaker 1: pretty sure a lot of people can do it, but

1949
01:33:56,160 --> 01:33:57,800
Speaker 1: you know, I make it. I tell them in the room,

1950
01:33:57,840 --> 01:33:59,439
Speaker 1: I make it a craft. So a certain way you

1951
01:33:59,479 --> 01:34:01,160
Speaker 1: put your hands up, so the way you run it,

1952
01:34:01,479 --> 01:34:03,080
Speaker 1: and I try to run the for speed every time,

1953
01:34:03,120 --> 01:34:05,200
Speaker 1: even if I'm not getting it. But um, it's it's

1954
01:34:05,200 --> 01:34:07,080
Speaker 1: been working for us. You know. Many times you do

1955
01:34:07,080 --> 01:34:10,360
Speaker 1: it against Miami, I bet a ten or twelve. Yeah,

1956
01:34:12,280 --> 01:34:15,120
Speaker 1: they come across. But that's the thing. When you do that,

1957
01:34:15,320 --> 01:34:17,519
Speaker 1: they're faking it. They're either giving it to you're faking

1958
01:34:17,560 --> 01:34:21,719
Speaker 1: it too, You're you're yeah, or could be can be passed? Yeah,

1959
01:34:21,640 --> 01:34:25,000
Speaker 1: well they got that. They got it though the defense. Yeah,

1960
01:34:26,160 --> 01:34:27,240
Speaker 1: throw it to you. They gonna give it to you.

1961
01:34:27,240 --> 01:34:29,639
Speaker 1: Do you throw it or you're gonna catch it? Oh well,

1962
01:34:29,680 --> 01:34:32,080
Speaker 1: it's either or either way. If they pigeon to me

1963
01:34:32,160 --> 01:34:34,719
Speaker 1: is a catch. But if I like run past them

1964
01:34:34,960 --> 01:34:39,200
Speaker 1: and will it up or do something to pass. Did

1965
01:34:39,200 --> 01:34:40,800
Speaker 1: you know going into the ear that that would be

1966
01:34:40,920 --> 01:34:43,120
Speaker 1: as featured as much as it has been that motion

1967
01:34:43,280 --> 01:34:47,200
Speaker 1: and the I didn't know at all. Well, I kind

1968
01:34:47,240 --> 01:34:49,360
Speaker 1: of had a feeling because that's what they used me

1969
01:34:49,400 --> 01:34:51,920
Speaker 1: for and things like that. I'm using other areas, but

1970
01:34:52,240 --> 01:34:54,960
Speaker 1: that's my specialty. Size. He's gotta And to be honest,

1971
01:34:54,960 --> 01:34:57,160
Speaker 1: I see more NFL teams doing it. Yeah, yeah, it's

1972
01:34:57,240 --> 01:34:59,639
Speaker 1: kind of a fan in the NFL. Yeah, we kind

1973
01:34:59,640 --> 01:35:02,040
Speaker 1: of sa we kind of say they still not play. Yeah,

1974
01:35:02,320 --> 01:35:04,400
Speaker 1: a lot of people do it, but it's because of

1975
01:35:04,439 --> 01:35:07,360
Speaker 1: your ability to get to the edge so fast, you know,

1976
01:35:07,479 --> 01:35:08,960
Speaker 1: and the run game. When you hand it to Frank

1977
01:35:08,960 --> 01:35:12,280
Speaker 1: Gore handed Devin Singletary, it's easier for the defense to

1978
01:35:12,280 --> 01:35:15,920
Speaker 1: see it's set the edge and force the back to stop,

1979
01:35:16,000 --> 01:35:18,040
Speaker 1: put his foot in the ground, go someplace else and

1980
01:35:18,080 --> 01:35:19,720
Speaker 1: not be able to go outside. But you come through

1981
01:35:19,720 --> 01:35:22,840
Speaker 1: with such velocity. If they don't get across the line

1982
01:35:22,840 --> 01:35:25,800
Speaker 1: of scrimmage right now to get you out of your

1983
01:35:25,800 --> 01:35:29,320
Speaker 1: path or to stop you. It's it's a lot of

1984
01:35:29,320 --> 01:35:32,000
Speaker 1: space out there with maybe one or one defender or

1985
01:35:32,080 --> 01:35:34,320
Speaker 1: even two defenders one blocker and you're one on one

1986
01:35:34,360 --> 01:35:35,760
Speaker 1: with a guy in a lot of space. I mean,

1987
01:35:35,800 --> 01:35:37,559
Speaker 1: it's really a fast way to get to the edge

1988
01:35:37,560 --> 01:35:40,519
Speaker 1: and do the old fashioned sweep. Yeah, it is. It's

1989
01:35:40,600 --> 01:35:42,640
Speaker 1: if you're not if you're not alert for it, or

1990
01:35:42,680 --> 01:35:45,360
Speaker 1: you're not ready to get round the corner like usually

1991
01:35:45,400 --> 01:35:47,080
Speaker 1: it's probably man and man when we do it or

1992
01:35:47,120 --> 01:35:49,760
Speaker 1: something like that. And if I'm running across you either

1993
01:35:49,920 --> 01:35:52,040
Speaker 1: you know, behind me trying to fit the run if

1994
01:35:52,080 --> 01:35:53,880
Speaker 1: it's a if it's a fake jet sweep, or if

1995
01:35:53,880 --> 01:35:55,400
Speaker 1: it's jet sweep, when you're trying to fit the run,

1996
01:35:55,920 --> 01:35:59,000
Speaker 1: it's too late because I'm already around the corner. Right.

1997
01:35:59,320 --> 01:36:00,920
Speaker 1: There's a lot of better fits because it doesn't play

1998
01:36:00,920 --> 01:36:03,400
Speaker 1: off to a lot of other things that the team does. Yeah,

1999
01:36:03,760 --> 01:36:06,160
Speaker 1: what does What do they tell you when when they

2000
01:36:06,200 --> 01:36:08,599
Speaker 1: put these plays in and you go out there and

2001
01:36:08,600 --> 01:36:10,679
Speaker 1: of course there's maybe a different guy out there, maybe

2002
01:36:10,680 --> 01:36:15,080
Speaker 1: they're there they pull alignment or a tight end, uh

2003
01:36:15,479 --> 01:36:18,000
Speaker 1: or running back or whoever the other wide receiver out there.

2004
01:36:18,080 --> 01:36:19,680
Speaker 1: What do they tell you about when you get out there?

2005
01:36:19,720 --> 01:36:21,320
Speaker 1: Do they give you any instruction about where to go

2006
01:36:21,320 --> 01:36:23,200
Speaker 1: and what to look forward to? Say? Run run, it's

2007
01:36:23,240 --> 01:36:25,760
Speaker 1: just right, Yeah, yeat the ball. He's just run. It's

2008
01:36:25,840 --> 01:36:27,360
Speaker 1: more like it's like a part return. You know, we

2009
01:36:27,400 --> 01:36:30,880
Speaker 1: got blogs in front of you and whatever spot. Yeah.

2010
01:36:30,960 --> 01:36:33,559
Speaker 1: Jay McKenzie, our guest Bills wide receiver talking about jet

2011
01:36:33,600 --> 01:36:36,320
Speaker 1: sweeps and the reason why you're dangerous in that role

2012
01:36:36,439 --> 01:36:38,880
Speaker 1: is your speed. Right, who's the fastest guy in the

2013
01:36:38,880 --> 01:36:41,760
Speaker 1: team right now? Uh, it will be well, we have

2014
01:36:41,800 --> 01:36:45,320
Speaker 1: to settle that met John Brown, uh, Ralph Foster so

2015
01:36:45,320 --> 01:36:47,960
Speaker 1: we have to settle yet it's not settled yet. When's

2016
01:36:48,000 --> 01:36:51,680
Speaker 1: that gonna happen? You're gonna sell taker? Can't we get

2017
01:36:51,680 --> 01:36:53,639
Speaker 1: a film over? Uh? Yeah, you can get a film over.

2018
01:36:53,640 --> 01:36:55,479
Speaker 1: It's gonna be three of you at once, or it's

2019
01:36:55,520 --> 01:36:58,920
Speaker 1: gonna be round robin. Okay, And how do you do it?

2020
01:36:59,240 --> 01:37:02,599
Speaker 1: Hundred yard dash forty yards? I would say to you know, say,

2021
01:37:02,640 --> 01:37:05,280
Speaker 1: if somebody's faster, you had to run sixty sixty yards? Yeah,

2022
01:37:05,280 --> 01:37:07,559
Speaker 1: because forty I'll probably win because I got a fast start.

2023
01:37:08,000 --> 01:37:09,960
Speaker 1: But sixty shows you know who has the back end.

2024
01:37:10,200 --> 01:37:12,479
Speaker 1: But one hundred also shows who has the back end

2025
01:37:12,560 --> 01:37:15,599
Speaker 1: as well. But it's just too long. But sixties is perfect. Yeah,

2026
01:37:15,640 --> 01:37:17,760
Speaker 1: you don't need to be run undred year tell you right,

2027
01:37:17,920 --> 01:37:20,400
Speaker 1: I could tell you thought this through, you thought, oh yeah, yeah.

2028
01:37:20,960 --> 01:37:23,360
Speaker 1: How many conversations are about this? And we've had a

2029
01:37:23,400 --> 01:37:26,320
Speaker 1: lot of conversations. We have arguments about it. But you know,

2030
01:37:26,600 --> 01:37:28,720
Speaker 1: each guy knows that he knows that they're fast. So

2031
01:37:28,760 --> 01:37:31,360
Speaker 1: I'm like, you know, I'm ready when they're ready. And

2032
01:37:31,439 --> 01:37:34,360
Speaker 1: will there be money on them? No, there's got to

2033
01:37:34,400 --> 01:37:36,200
Speaker 1: be something on the line. Somebody will be betting on

2034
01:37:36,240 --> 01:37:38,599
Speaker 1: the outside. But give us the vibe in the locker

2035
01:37:38,640 --> 01:37:40,920
Speaker 1: room about the game this weekend. Oh, it's you know,

2036
01:37:41,800 --> 01:37:43,519
Speaker 1: just like any other week. We just come out and

2037
01:37:43,680 --> 01:37:46,519
Speaker 1: prepare and in the locker room, everybody's you know, being themselves.

2038
01:37:46,560 --> 01:37:49,960
Speaker 1: Nobody's changing. It's just, you know, it's great atmosphere there

2039
01:37:50,000 --> 01:37:53,320
Speaker 1: and on and off the field. With Jay McKenzie builds

2040
01:37:53,360 --> 01:37:56,559
Speaker 1: a wide receiver. Um, the trade a couple of weeks

2041
01:37:56,560 --> 01:37:59,760
Speaker 1: ago of Zay Jones. I wonder obviously most likely a

2042
01:37:59,800 --> 01:38:01,439
Speaker 1: friend years but what did you think at that time

2043
01:38:01,479 --> 01:38:04,200
Speaker 1: about huh, I wonder what my role, how my role changes?

2044
01:38:04,240 --> 01:38:06,080
Speaker 1: Did you think that when when the guy's removed from

2045
01:38:06,120 --> 01:38:08,679
Speaker 1: the roster at that point, Um, well, when it happened

2046
01:38:08,720 --> 01:38:12,439
Speaker 1: like this, like I didn't even know, I just you know,

2047
01:38:13,200 --> 01:38:16,160
Speaker 1: got it. I see no Instagram and I'm like, uh, well,

2048
01:38:16,479 --> 01:38:17,920
Speaker 1: I mean I don't know what they're gonna do with

2049
01:38:18,040 --> 01:38:19,720
Speaker 1: I know I have my role, which you know, jet

2050
01:38:19,720 --> 01:38:22,200
Speaker 1: sweeps or whatever they give me. But um, I didn't

2051
01:38:22,240 --> 01:38:24,920
Speaker 1: know if it would change drastically or it'll be the same.

2052
01:38:25,240 --> 01:38:27,960
Speaker 1: But um, you know, we're at where we're at. And

2053
01:38:28,040 --> 01:38:30,160
Speaker 1: Duke I moved up and he did a great job

2054
01:38:30,200 --> 01:38:32,960
Speaker 1: at the ze position, So you know, I'm just working

2055
01:38:33,000 --> 01:38:36,000
Speaker 1: on in there. They don't really clue in, right, It's

2056
01:38:36,000 --> 01:38:39,639
Speaker 1: like they don't call you ask if it's okay, right, yeah,

2057
01:38:39,640 --> 01:38:42,280
Speaker 1: oh no, no, I don't call me. It's all upstairs.

2058
01:38:43,040 --> 01:38:45,479
Speaker 1: And it isn't a good mix now and it certainly

2059
01:38:45,600 --> 01:38:47,680
Speaker 1: Zay didn't detract from this, but a good mix of

2060
01:38:47,680 --> 01:38:50,120
Speaker 1: different skill sets right when you look at what Smoke does,

2061
01:38:50,200 --> 01:38:52,640
Speaker 1: what you do, what Duke doesn't particular We all us

2062
01:38:52,640 --> 01:38:56,000
Speaker 1: have you yeah, we all have, you know, just different attributes.

2063
01:38:56,320 --> 01:38:59,400
Speaker 1: You know, I'm fast, robs fast, smokes fast, secret, rots,

2064
01:38:59,600 --> 01:39:02,640
Speaker 1: rock deep. I can run across the field, things like that.

2065
01:39:02,680 --> 01:39:04,720
Speaker 1: So it's bees can run you know, all the all

2066
01:39:04,720 --> 01:39:07,200
Speaker 1: the routes inside. So it's been great. Though, how have

2067
01:39:07,240 --> 01:39:09,800
Speaker 1: you seen this offense? Chaman? There's nine new guys on

2068
01:39:09,800 --> 01:39:12,120
Speaker 1: this on the offense, and but you know Josh is

2069
01:39:12,120 --> 01:39:14,760
Speaker 1: still standing there. Have you seen Josh change and whether

2070
01:39:14,800 --> 01:39:16,719
Speaker 1: it's just demeanor in the huddle or in the locker

2071
01:39:16,800 --> 01:39:19,480
Speaker 1: room or what he does on the field, how he communicates.

2072
01:39:19,560 --> 01:39:22,680
Speaker 1: What are the changes you've seen in Josh and as

2073
01:39:22,680 --> 01:39:26,000
Speaker 1: a result in the offense. Uh, joice, He's always been

2074
01:39:26,040 --> 01:39:29,040
Speaker 1: a great leader. Um, he's a competitor, but Um, just

2075
01:39:29,120 --> 01:39:31,479
Speaker 1: in the huddle. You know, he's very calm and composed

2076
01:39:31,520 --> 01:39:33,479
Speaker 1: because he knows that he has the guys around him,

2077
01:39:33,760 --> 01:39:35,280
Speaker 1: and he just goes out there and play each and

2078
01:39:35,360 --> 01:39:37,200
Speaker 1: every week. And UM, that's what we love about him.

2079
01:39:37,200 --> 01:39:39,280
Speaker 1: He's a competitor. He's not gonna quit and we won't

2080
01:39:39,320 --> 01:39:41,599
Speaker 1: give up on him or anything. So we're just gonna

2081
01:39:41,600 --> 01:39:43,400
Speaker 1: come out there every week and he's gonna help us.

2082
01:39:43,400 --> 01:39:46,680
Speaker 1: Ou we're gonna help him out. Eagles defense and you know,

2083
01:39:46,720 --> 01:39:49,360
Speaker 1: they they've struggled, but up front, they're they're pretty stout.

2084
01:39:49,520 --> 01:39:52,000
Speaker 1: They're pretty good. We're going to see the um up front,

2085
01:39:52,040 --> 01:39:54,880
Speaker 1: they're very good. They're getting they're getting a Jenny Mills

2086
01:39:55,360 --> 01:39:58,160
Speaker 1: came back. He had the list, Frank, but he played

2087
01:39:58,160 --> 01:40:02,360
Speaker 1: well last week against the Cowboys. Um, they're they're back seven,

2088
01:40:02,439 --> 01:40:04,479
Speaker 1: They're they're pretty good. So it's gonna be a tough game,

2089
01:40:04,520 --> 01:40:07,280
Speaker 1: but you know, hopefully we come on on top middle

2090
01:40:07,280 --> 01:40:09,880
Speaker 1: of the three straight home games. You guys are you

2091
01:40:09,880 --> 01:40:12,360
Speaker 1: can almost see you guys digging into the vibe there

2092
01:40:12,479 --> 01:40:14,160
Speaker 1: the crowd right if it was good to be home, right,

2093
01:40:14,400 --> 01:40:16,800
Speaker 1: feels great. I was telling people we got two more

2094
01:40:16,800 --> 01:40:18,920
Speaker 1: home games and we gotta love it up because we

2095
01:40:19,160 --> 01:40:20,719
Speaker 1: go away, it's not going to be in our favor.

2096
01:40:21,720 --> 01:40:24,280
Speaker 1: Thanks for this, Thanks for stopping. We appreciate a day.

2097

01:40:28,160 --> 01:40:30,200
Speaker 1: deals with what the Bills of offense needs the most

2099
01:40:30,240 --> 01:40:33,040
Speaker 1: important next step for the Buffalo offense, and Pat de

2100
01:40:33,120 --> 01:40:36,439
Speaker 1: Marco talked about that when he talked to the media yesterday,

2101
01:40:36,640 --> 01:40:38,719
Speaker 1: talked about the recent slow starts and what the Bills

2102
01:40:38,720 --> 01:40:42,360
Speaker 1: can do to solve that. Here's Pat de Marco, well,

2103
01:40:42,360 --> 01:40:44,000
Speaker 1: I think it's two things, and I think it's pretty

2104
01:40:44,000 --> 01:40:47,519
Speaker 1: evidence is it's negative plays and penalties, backing ourselves up

2105
01:40:47,520 --> 01:40:49,720
Speaker 1: behind the sticks and turning the ball over. We've done

2106
01:40:49,760 --> 01:40:52,800
Speaker 1: a lot better than last two games with controlling the

2107
01:40:52,840 --> 01:40:55,479
Speaker 1: ball and not giving it to the defense. So I said,

2108
01:40:55,840 --> 01:40:58,519
Speaker 1: those two things are the reason, like shootings, shooting ourselves

2109
01:40:58,520 --> 01:41:00,360
Speaker 1: in the foot like you're saying. But you know, those

2110
01:41:00,360 --> 01:41:02,000
Speaker 1: are things that we can get corrected in and get going.

2111
01:41:02,080 --> 01:41:04,080
Speaker 1: And you know, if we don't have those things where

2112
01:41:04,880 --> 01:41:08,479
Speaker 1: it's complete different game. Pat de Marco talking about getting

2113
01:41:08,520 --> 01:41:10,400
Speaker 1: better out of the box. We didn't have that in

2114
01:41:10,439 --> 01:41:12,920
Speaker 1: our poll. Fast starts. You know, the Bills have been

2115
01:41:12,960 --> 01:41:15,240
Speaker 1: a good second half team. And yeah, the fast starts

2116
01:41:15,280 --> 01:41:18,200
Speaker 1: have not been part of their offensive repertoire so far

2117
01:41:18,320 --> 01:41:21,599
Speaker 1: this year, have they? Yeah, no, And it's it's been

2118
01:41:21,600 --> 01:41:24,160
Speaker 1: a crusher they did. You know, you think back, it's

2119
01:41:24,160 --> 01:41:26,120
Speaker 1: starting it used to be. You know, the last couple

2120
01:41:26,160 --> 01:41:28,120
Speaker 1: of weeks, it started to get trying hard to think

2121
01:41:28,160 --> 01:41:30,000
Speaker 1: back of how the season has gone. Game to game.

2122
01:41:30,040 --> 01:41:31,960
Speaker 1: It was so easy in the first month of the season.

2123
01:41:32,000 --> 01:41:34,040
Speaker 1: Remember exactly however, a game win, But you remember how

2124
01:41:34,040 --> 01:41:37,160
Speaker 1: they answered. The Giants came out, hit him in the

2125
01:41:37,200 --> 01:41:40,559
Speaker 1: mouth with a seventy five yard drive, you know, four

2126
01:41:40,640 --> 01:41:43,280
Speaker 1: or five play drive. They went bang, bang bang. Sae

2127
01:41:43,360 --> 01:41:45,880
Speaker 1: Quon Barkley scored for the Giants. They went up seven nothing,

2128
01:41:45,920 --> 01:41:49,240
Speaker 1: and the Bills just answered and then answered again. They

2129
01:41:49,280 --> 01:41:52,760
Speaker 1: came out and played extremely well after that point. It

2130
01:41:52,800 --> 01:41:55,200
Speaker 1: was that was a game I think that really spoke

2131
01:41:55,240 --> 01:41:58,479
Speaker 1: well of the Bills and also the Cincinnati game as well,

2132
01:41:59,240 --> 01:42:03,400
Speaker 1: where they answered the Bill. So I get the season

2133
01:42:03,400 --> 01:42:05,360
Speaker 1: is getting dragon on ask. You can think back to

2134
01:42:05,640 --> 01:42:07,920
Speaker 1: moments where they've had where they've done a lot of things. Well,

2135
01:42:09,240 --> 01:42:11,680
Speaker 1: fast start has not defined what their season has been.

2136
01:42:11,760 --> 01:42:14,240
Speaker 1: What's the most important next step forward for the Bills.

2137
01:42:14,240 --> 01:42:16,160
Speaker 1: On offense, what do you think the most important step

2138
01:42:16,160 --> 01:42:18,680
Speaker 1: forward they can take? On Twitter, seventy three percent of

2139
01:42:18,680 --> 01:42:22,880
Speaker 1: you're saying simple, limit critical mistakes, turnovers, penalties drops, fourteen

2140
01:42:22,920 --> 01:42:25,880
Speaker 1: percent say acquire more talent. Nine percent say just wait,

2141
01:42:26,280 --> 01:42:29,599
Speaker 1: be calm, continuity is coming, They'll get better. Four percent

2142
01:42:29,640 --> 01:42:31,320
Speaker 1: of something else in mine. Let's take a few phone

2143
01:42:31,320 --> 01:42:36,000
Speaker 1: calls down this and other Buffalo Bills related topics. Susan

2144
01:42:36,040 --> 01:42:38,360
Speaker 1: and Williamsville has some thoughts on the fast start. Susan,

2145
01:42:38,400 --> 01:42:42,840
Speaker 1: go ahead, you're on the air, Hi, guys, what I

2146
01:42:42,880 --> 01:42:45,720
Speaker 1: wanted to tell you is the same thing you've already said.

2147
01:42:45,720 --> 01:42:48,360
Speaker 1: I think that if Josh gets a good, good start,

2148
01:42:48,720 --> 01:42:50,960
Speaker 1: that's a big key because we're a good second half team.

2149
01:42:51,280 --> 01:42:53,160
Speaker 1: But if he gets a nice jump start, that's going

2150
01:42:53,200 --> 01:42:55,439
Speaker 1: to put us way ahead. But I also head the

2151
01:42:55,520 --> 01:42:58,680
Speaker 1: question about defense, and it's only because you know, I

2152
01:42:58,680 --> 01:43:01,120
Speaker 1: really thought we could have done well with the u

2153
01:43:02,000 --> 01:43:05,720
Speaker 1: U Patriots, but Julian Edeman did not play, and the

2154
01:43:05,760 --> 01:43:09,120
Speaker 1: way he tortured um the team out one day night

2155
01:43:09,520 --> 01:43:11,920
Speaker 1: with just a third down play, that third down play,

2156
01:43:11,960 --> 01:43:14,760
Speaker 1: that third down play is constantly getting first down. It's

2157
01:43:14,800 --> 01:43:17,680
Speaker 1: just like if we can stop that guy. And I

2158
01:43:17,720 --> 01:43:21,439
Speaker 1: guess I just wonder about you know, everybody knows Bill Belichick,

2159
01:43:21,680 --> 01:43:23,920
Speaker 1: you know, take away their best player, take away there,

2160
01:43:24,000 --> 01:43:25,800
Speaker 1: and I just don't I wonder why, you know, why

2161
01:43:25,880 --> 01:43:27,680
Speaker 1: is it that the other coaches don't kind of do

2162
01:43:27,680 --> 01:43:29,679
Speaker 1: the same thing because it really works for him. And

2163
01:43:29,760 --> 01:43:32,720
Speaker 1: you know they raved all Monday night about hey, uh,

2164
01:43:33,000 --> 01:43:35,400
Speaker 1: you know, look at what they're just doing what they've got.

2165
01:43:35,520 --> 01:43:37,479
Speaker 1: These guys are out there doing with what they've got.

2166
01:43:37,680 --> 01:43:39,880
Speaker 1: So that's the other thing, you know, I think we

2167
01:43:39,960 --> 01:43:42,719
Speaker 1: have the talent these guys can do with what we've got,

2168
01:43:42,840 --> 01:43:45,080
Speaker 1: you know, definitely to be a playoff team and things

2169
01:43:45,120 --> 01:43:49,040
Speaker 1: like that. So um, like I said, I just guess,

2170
01:43:49,080 --> 01:43:52,160
Speaker 1: you know why why we can't take some of those

2171
01:43:52,200 --> 01:43:53,760
Speaker 1: key players out of the out of the the game. And

2172
01:43:53,800 --> 01:43:56,640
Speaker 1: if we do, um, if you've got a guy who

2173
01:43:56,680 --> 01:43:58,479
Speaker 1: can bump him at the line or you know, catch

2174
01:43:58,560 --> 01:44:00,559
Speaker 1: him before he gets out to the first the first

2175
01:44:00,560 --> 01:44:05,160
Speaker 1: down line, Um, you know we could. We could. And

2176
01:44:05,200 --> 01:44:07,840
Speaker 1: Adaman did play against Buffalo, right, you're not saying that, Susan, Right,

2177
01:44:08,320 --> 01:44:10,400
Speaker 1: I just look it up. Four catches, seven targets. He

2178
01:44:10,439 --> 01:44:13,320
Speaker 1: did play here unless they took him out. I mean,

2179
01:44:13,400 --> 01:44:15,559
Speaker 1: I'm saying took him out in the way of made

2180
01:44:15,640 --> 01:44:18,599
Speaker 1: him ineffective. Oh yeah, that's right. Well yeah he didn't.

2181
01:44:18,600 --> 01:44:21,800
Speaker 1: He had four catches. But they can do anything on offensive. Yeah,

2182
01:44:21,880 --> 01:44:26,200
Speaker 1: and I'll tell you that the Bill's defense does that. Um,

2183
01:44:26,280 --> 01:44:30,240
Speaker 1: I don't know, Um Barley, Yeah, I mean they take

2184
01:44:30,320 --> 01:44:33,080
Speaker 1: guys out. They they've done a really good job of that,

2185
01:44:33,439 --> 01:44:36,200
Speaker 1: and and they're going to continue to theoretically, I mean

2186
01:44:36,240 --> 01:44:39,799
Speaker 1: that's been the plan. But um yeah, the Bill's defense,

2187
01:44:40,040 --> 01:44:46,479
Speaker 1: uh is able to take Derek. Yeah, I mean yeah,

2188
01:44:46,560 --> 01:44:48,280
Speaker 1: well there you go. I'm sorry, I don't I don't

2189
01:44:48,640 --> 01:44:50,840
Speaker 1: I hear what you're saying, Susan. But our defense is

2190
01:44:51,200 --> 01:44:54,200
Speaker 1: is uh, I think able to take just about anybody away.

2191
01:44:54,200 --> 01:44:56,439
Speaker 1: At this point, let's go to David and Brockport. Hello, David,

2192
01:44:56,479 --> 01:45:00,479
Speaker 1: Welcome to the show. Hi. Hi. I have have three

2193
01:45:00,520 --> 01:45:08,120
Speaker 1: things m Josh Allen, the offensive coordinator, the special um,

2194
01:45:08,640 --> 01:45:15,599
Speaker 1: the Sean McDermott, and the quarterbacks coach. After the New

2195
01:45:15,600 --> 01:45:17,760
Speaker 1: England game, he was starting to slide on his feet

2196
01:45:18,640 --> 01:45:21,679
Speaker 1: slight feet first. The Mammi game, he forgot all about

2197
01:45:21,680 --> 01:45:24,080
Speaker 1: that was going head first again. He needs to be

2198
01:45:24,240 --> 01:45:26,960
Speaker 1: ordered by them. Three guys to go feet first before

2199
01:45:26,960 --> 01:45:32,519
Speaker 1: he gets a concussion again. And also when Steve Christie

2200
01:45:32,560 --> 01:45:37,439
Speaker 1: comes to town, Sean McDermott should have help him teach

2201
01:45:37,479 --> 01:45:40,759
Speaker 1: the house because the onside kick, that double sump curve

2202
01:45:40,840 --> 01:45:43,720
Speaker 1: that that Steve Christie used to have, he was the

2203
01:45:43,760 --> 01:45:46,960
Speaker 1: best at it and we used to fall on the

2204
01:45:46,960 --> 01:45:49,519
Speaker 1: ball after ten yards and how it's gonna need to

2205
01:45:49,640 --> 01:45:52,800
Speaker 1: learn that. And also, Steve, when you go into the

2206
01:45:52,800 --> 01:45:57,240
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame next year, which we are going to positively,

2207
01:45:57,600 --> 01:46:01,400
Speaker 1: you need to have Mark Pike introduced you because he

2208
01:46:01,600 --> 01:46:05,680
Speaker 1: was your best protector. All right, Thanks, Thanks, you're right

2209
01:46:05,760 --> 01:46:07,800
Speaker 1: there to talk about Mark Pike's Mark Pike is a

2210
01:46:07,880 --> 01:46:12,360
Speaker 1: gem and a dominant, dominant special teams player, no question. Yeah,

2211
01:46:12,360 --> 01:46:14,400
Speaker 1: you're right, Josh did do that. They had and I

2212
01:46:14,439 --> 01:46:17,040
Speaker 1: think what surprised me about the game and talking about

2213
01:46:17,120 --> 01:46:19,360
Speaker 1: Josh sliding and running. They had a lot of called

2214
01:46:19,439 --> 01:46:21,799
Speaker 1: runs for Josh early in the game against the Dolphins,

2215
01:46:22,120 --> 01:46:24,639
Speaker 1: of one of which the most effective one was called

2216
01:46:24,640 --> 01:46:27,920
Speaker 1: back because of a hold on Cody Ford. But he

2217
01:46:27,960 --> 01:46:30,640
Speaker 1: was effective in running, and you're right they do that

2218
01:46:30,680 --> 01:46:33,920
Speaker 1: too much. There's always that risk that he's gonna come

2219
01:46:34,000 --> 01:46:36,000
Speaker 1: up and be in the concussion protocol Again, you don't

2220
01:46:36,040 --> 01:46:38,880
Speaker 1: want that, and Dave bald and McDermott are responsible for

2221
01:46:38,920 --> 01:46:42,479
Speaker 1: pounding that into him, but they can sooner or later.

2222
01:46:42,479 --> 01:46:43,680
Speaker 1: They got to put him out there and let him

2223
01:46:43,680 --> 01:46:45,400
Speaker 1: take a snap and if he does it, okay, but

2224
01:46:45,439 --> 01:46:48,400
Speaker 1: if he doesn't, you know, they can only coach him

2225
01:46:48,479 --> 01:46:51,240
Speaker 1: up so much. But yeah, I mean that's an issue.

2226
01:46:51,600 --> 01:46:53,439
Speaker 1: I want to get to more on this. But did

2227
01:46:53,479 --> 01:46:56,880
Speaker 1: you guys when you were playing, did you guys recover

2228
01:46:56,920 --> 01:46:58,920
Speaker 1: a lot of outside kicks you didn't recall like more

2229
01:46:58,960 --> 01:47:02,200
Speaker 1: than we did some him, um, the one I remember

2230
01:47:02,439 --> 01:47:04,519
Speaker 1: and I don't know what the one he's talking about,

2231
01:47:04,680 --> 01:47:10,240
Speaker 1: Steve Christy had the ability to do a pooch on

2232
01:47:10,320 --> 01:47:12,320
Speaker 1: side where it just came off the team went straight

2233
01:47:12,320 --> 01:47:15,320
Speaker 1: ahead and he recovered his own kicks one and that

2234
01:47:15,439 --> 01:47:17,360
Speaker 1: was in the that we used that to effect in

2235
01:47:17,439 --> 01:47:20,560
Speaker 1: the comeback game, right after the first Don biebe or

2236
01:47:20,600 --> 01:47:23,800
Speaker 1: the second Don Babe touchdown, the first touchdown and so

2237
01:47:24,640 --> 01:47:27,920
Speaker 1: that happened, and then other times, you know, all I

2238
01:47:28,000 --> 01:47:32,760
Speaker 1: remember really mostly is I don't know. There was a

2239
01:47:32,800 --> 01:47:34,800
Speaker 1: couple of times when there's a lot of guy sho

2240
01:47:34,960 --> 01:47:36,200
Speaker 1: now do they think about there's a lot of on

2241
01:47:36,240 --> 01:47:39,000
Speaker 1: side kicks that we were actually returning more than more

2242
01:47:39,040 --> 01:47:42,640
Speaker 1: than covering. But I don't know. Steve Christie was a

2243
01:47:42,680 --> 01:47:44,400
Speaker 1: great kick or no question, but I don't know that

2244
01:47:44,400 --> 01:47:47,639
Speaker 1: there's too much that Houshka's not able to do. If

2245
01:47:47,640 --> 01:47:49,400
Speaker 1: they feel like there's something they want him to do,

2246
01:47:49,439 --> 01:47:51,080
Speaker 1: I'm sure they're coaching him up and getting him to

2247
01:47:51,120 --> 01:47:52,720
Speaker 1: do it. The fact that he haven't seen him do

2248
01:47:52,760 --> 01:47:55,720
Speaker 1: it doesn't mean he can't, So just be aware of that,

2249
01:47:56,040 --> 01:47:59,439
Speaker 1: you know. Um. He mentioned about Josh running, and while

2250
01:47:59,439 --> 01:48:03,200
Speaker 1: we're talking about what the Bill's offense needs to do better,

2251
01:48:04,120 --> 01:48:06,360
Speaker 1: we should talk about this. And you're right. The Miami game,

2252
01:48:06,680 --> 01:48:09,599
Speaker 1: they started with a lot of Josh Allen runs and

2253
01:48:10,000 --> 01:48:12,200
Speaker 1: this came to mind. I was reading some comments from

2254
01:48:12,240 --> 01:48:14,400
Speaker 1: Jim Schwartz, who I hold in high regard, the Eagles

2255
01:48:14,760 --> 01:48:18,800
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator, and he was talked about Josh Allen's athleticism.

2256
01:48:18,800 --> 01:48:20,360
Speaker 1: Can I just read you this quote from Jim schwarts

2257
01:48:20,439 --> 01:48:23,720
Speaker 1: Please do? Are you sure it's no? It's interesting he said,

2258
01:48:23,760 --> 01:48:27,160
Speaker 1: it's not just his athleticism, it's there the Bill's willingness

2259
01:48:27,160 --> 01:48:29,640
Speaker 1: to run him to run him on the football. A

2260
01:48:29,680 --> 01:48:31,599
Speaker 1: lot gets made of the way that Cam Newton played

2261
01:48:31,640 --> 01:48:35,160
Speaker 1: the way that Lamar Jackson plays Buffalo. Jim Schwartz says,

2262
01:48:35,160 --> 01:48:37,760
Speaker 1: it's sort to float under the radar with a lot

2263
01:48:37,800 --> 01:48:40,720
Speaker 1: of design. Quarterback runs stuff that looks like wildcat, but

2264
01:48:40,800 --> 01:48:44,200
Speaker 1: he's running quarterback, sweep, quarterback, power, quarterback, counter, quarterback draw,

2265
01:48:44,400 --> 01:48:46,240
Speaker 1: and he's not sliding. He's running like a big man

2266
01:48:46,240 --> 01:48:49,000
Speaker 1: and running like a fullback. They have all the RPOs.

2267
01:48:49,000 --> 01:48:52,200
Speaker 1: They probably a more complex but varied run game than

2268
01:48:52,200 --> 01:48:55,360
Speaker 1: any team we faced. These guys do an awful lot.

2269
01:48:56,520 --> 01:49:01,839
Speaker 1: So there's an opponent, an opposing defensive eater basically praising

2270
01:49:01,920 --> 01:49:03,720
Speaker 1: the way the Bills use Josh Ellen. Does he need

2271
01:49:03,760 --> 01:49:05,639
Speaker 1: to Yeah, nobody want to see him hurt. He needs

2272
01:49:05,640 --> 01:49:08,400
Speaker 1: to avoid injury, There's no question about that. But it

2273
01:49:08,520 --> 01:49:10,719
Speaker 1: is a weapon, and if you listen to those quotes

2274
01:49:10,760 --> 01:49:14,320
Speaker 1: from Jim Schwartz, it is an effective and powerful weapon.

2275
01:49:14,600 --> 01:49:17,240
Speaker 1: Josh Ellen running the football in this offense. You want

2276
01:49:17,240 --> 01:49:19,280
Speaker 1: to do away with it. I don't want it. To

2277
01:49:19,320 --> 01:49:22,639
Speaker 1: be smart and protect himself, you certainly do, but it

2278
01:49:22,720 --> 01:49:24,559
Speaker 1: is a weapon that's caught the attention of some of

2279
01:49:24,560 --> 01:49:28,120
Speaker 1: the finest defensive coaches in the league. Well, it's here's

2280
01:49:28,120 --> 01:49:31,360
Speaker 1: the thing too. The Bills do it, and some of it,

2281
01:49:31,439 --> 01:49:34,439
Speaker 1: I'm sure, particularly against the Dolphins, when you think maybe

2282
01:49:34,479 --> 01:49:36,040
Speaker 1: you should be able to run the football on him

2283
01:49:36,080 --> 01:49:39,200
Speaker 1: with a conventional way, the conventional way with handing it

2284
01:49:39,200 --> 01:49:41,679
Speaker 1: off and given it to other guys. And I don't

2285
01:49:41,680 --> 01:49:44,000
Speaker 1: want to go two down far down a rabbit hole here,

2286
01:49:44,040 --> 01:49:46,479
Speaker 1: But some of it is to get that on film

2287
01:49:47,200 --> 01:49:49,200
Speaker 1: against a defense you think you can run it and

2288
01:49:49,320 --> 01:49:51,680
Speaker 1: hurt him with it so that other teams like the

2289
01:49:51,680 --> 01:49:54,240
Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles and the Washington Redskins coming down the pike

2290
01:49:54,560 --> 01:49:56,080
Speaker 1: have to say, Wow, they're gonna do this all the

2291
01:49:56,080 --> 01:49:58,519
Speaker 1: time on a third and one, They're gonna do this

2292
01:49:58,560 --> 01:50:01,760
Speaker 1: in the red zone. Remember that's quarterback powers. What got

2293
01:50:01,840 --> 01:50:04,559
Speaker 1: Josh in the end zone against the Jets, It's what

2294
01:50:04,640 --> 01:50:06,760
Speaker 1: got him into the end zone. A scramble was what

2295
01:50:06,840 --> 01:50:09,240
Speaker 1: got him into the end zone with behind Frank Gore.

2296
01:50:09,280 --> 01:50:11,519
Speaker 1: Against the Giants, he ran it a couple of times

2297
01:50:11,520 --> 01:50:13,759
Speaker 1: like that, and they've run it to really good effect

2298
01:50:13,840 --> 01:50:18,000
Speaker 1: on short yardage spots where they you know, he tucks

2299
01:50:18,000 --> 01:50:20,400
Speaker 1: it under his arm, gets too offensive linemen and Frank

2300
01:50:20,439 --> 01:50:22,840
Speaker 1: Gore out in front of him. That's a lot of

2301
01:50:23,080 --> 01:50:25,000
Speaker 1: that's a lot of weight and a lot of bodies

2302
01:50:25,000 --> 01:50:27,080
Speaker 1: to get through to get to the quarterback. Now, they

2303
01:50:27,160 --> 01:50:29,679
Speaker 1: do some of that, And I'm not saying they don't

2304
01:50:29,720 --> 01:50:31,639
Speaker 1: want the play to be successful, because it has been

2305
01:50:31,720 --> 01:50:33,960
Speaker 1: very successful for him, but they do some of that

2306
01:50:34,439 --> 01:50:38,240
Speaker 1: to make sure teams know they're gonna unfurl that against you,

2307
01:50:38,560 --> 01:50:40,600
Speaker 1: and you better have it under your radar, and you

2308
01:50:40,640 --> 01:50:43,599
Speaker 1: better do it right. You better rep it in practice,

2309
01:50:43,640 --> 01:50:45,720
Speaker 1: waste your time doing it because we may not call it.

2310
01:50:46,760 --> 01:50:48,519
Speaker 1: And I bet you this too. And I'm just saying

2311
01:50:48,560 --> 01:50:50,400
Speaker 1: this and I don't know. I haven't seen anything like this,

2312
01:50:50,479 --> 01:50:51,600
Speaker 1: but I don't know what and I don't even know

2313
01:50:51,640 --> 01:50:53,280
Speaker 1: what it would be. What are they gonna do when

2314
01:50:53,280 --> 01:50:57,479
Speaker 1: they run that action and then do something different, you

2315
01:50:57,560 --> 01:51:01,799
Speaker 1: know where it looks like that quarterback power with Mitch Morse,

2316
01:51:03,120 --> 01:51:07,320
Speaker 1: John Feliciano, Frank Gore running out ahead of Josh Allen,

2317
01:51:07,560 --> 01:51:09,960
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden they do something different than that,

2318
01:51:10,000 --> 01:51:12,360
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, that's that's gotta be under the hood. Sure,

2319
01:51:12,600 --> 01:51:15,880
Speaker 1: So they want teams to start to realize what they're

2320
01:51:15,880 --> 01:51:17,400
Speaker 1: gonna have to do to stop that. And believe me,

2321
01:51:17,439 --> 01:51:21,160
Speaker 1: to stop that power play, you gotta throw some bodies

2322
01:51:21,160 --> 01:51:23,519
Speaker 1: over there. You gotta get out there in front of it,

2323
01:51:23,560 --> 01:51:25,320
Speaker 1: and you gotta throw and jump in there with your

2324
01:51:25,360 --> 01:51:27,880
Speaker 1: dbs and start knifeing in there and getting some penetration.

2325
01:51:28,040 --> 01:51:29,960
Speaker 1: If you start doing that, what are you gonna do

2326
01:51:29,960 --> 01:51:31,559
Speaker 1: if they throw it over the top, or if they

2327
01:51:31,640 --> 01:51:34,240
Speaker 1: have a throwback, or if you know, or if Frank

2328
01:51:34,280 --> 01:51:35,960
Speaker 1: Gore gets out in front of it too far and

2329
01:51:36,000 --> 01:51:38,040
Speaker 1: gets behind the defenders and you dump it to him.

2330
01:51:38,160 --> 01:51:39,960
Speaker 1: All that stuff's on the table. So they put that

2331
01:51:40,000 --> 01:51:43,080
Speaker 1: on film for a reason. And once they see how

2332
01:51:43,160 --> 01:51:46,080
Speaker 1: teams are gonna stop it, they come up with a

2333
01:51:46,120 --> 01:51:47,960
Speaker 1: wrinkle to take advantage of it. Here's a call from

2334
01:51:48,000 --> 01:51:51,080
Speaker 1: Mike and Maryland. Hello, Mike, welcome to the show here

2335
01:51:51,120 --> 01:51:55,439
Speaker 1: you guys all right, I think it's essential to start

2336
01:51:55,560 --> 01:52:00,040
Speaker 1: hitting some chunk players to increase this offense. Definitely. I

2337
01:52:00,120 --> 01:52:03,240
Speaker 1: don't think we can rely on fifteen play drives to

2338
01:52:04,200 --> 01:52:07,160
Speaker 1: the game. Hey, I had an observation about how Tom

2339
01:52:07,200 --> 01:52:10,240
Speaker 1: Brady throws the fly pattern down the sideline. I'm open

2340
01:52:10,360 --> 01:52:13,080
Speaker 1: Steve from comment. I was at the Patriots game a

2341
01:52:13,120 --> 01:52:16,559
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago and Rady made too long throws

2342
01:52:16,600 --> 01:52:19,360
Speaker 1: down the sidelines to the running back and both cases

2343
01:52:19,400 --> 01:52:21,599
Speaker 1: it was pretty obvious they were going to make that throw.

2344
01:52:21,680 --> 01:52:25,280
Speaker 1: Milano was isolated against the running back out wide, were

2345
01:52:25,479 --> 01:52:28,280
Speaker 1: snapped when Brady just took his drop, and it just

2346
01:52:28,320 --> 01:52:31,840
Speaker 1: seems so robotic to be rocked and made the perfect throw.

2347
01:52:31,840 --> 01:52:34,519
Speaker 1: In both cases, it seemed like it was muscle memory

2348
01:52:34,560 --> 01:52:37,040
Speaker 1: to me, probably made to throw a million times in practice.

2349
01:52:37,080 --> 01:52:40,800
Speaker 1: I'm sure he has twenty years. It doesn't disapproach simplified

2350
01:52:40,840 --> 01:52:44,040
Speaker 1: things for Josh isolation one on one to just be

2351
01:52:44,200 --> 01:52:48,320
Speaker 1: able to throw to a spot down the sideline, Yeah, absolutely,

2352
01:52:48,360 --> 01:52:50,120
Speaker 1: you should be able to hit those, and the Bills

2353
01:52:50,160 --> 01:52:53,000
Speaker 1: haven't been able to for whatever reason. You think. Some

2354
01:52:53,080 --> 01:52:55,759
Speaker 1: of it may be the receiver some of them, maybe, Josh.

2355
01:52:55,800 --> 01:52:57,479
Speaker 1: Some of it may be the pressure. Some of it

2356
01:52:57,560 --> 01:52:59,560
Speaker 1: may be the play call that they are earning the

2357
01:52:59,640 --> 01:53:02,200
Speaker 1: right play at the right time to take advantage of it,

2358
01:53:02,520 --> 01:53:04,320
Speaker 1: but they got to hit it. You're right, it should

2359
01:53:04,360 --> 01:53:07,240
Speaker 1: be and believe me this too, And maybe this may

2360
01:53:07,280 --> 01:53:10,439
Speaker 1: be different than what the Patriots philosophy is. Brian day

2361
01:53:10,479 --> 01:53:14,719
Speaker 1: Bole and Sean McDermott may say, listen, we're not gonna

2362
01:53:14,720 --> 01:53:16,200
Speaker 1: do that because we don't want to throw up a

2363
01:53:16,200 --> 01:53:19,599
Speaker 1: fifty fifty ball to our guys, because John Brown's five ten,

2364
01:53:20,520 --> 01:53:23,519
Speaker 1: you know, and their dB is six two. Now, they

2365
01:53:23,560 --> 01:53:25,479
Speaker 1: may do it to Duke Williams once in a while

2366
01:53:25,680 --> 01:53:28,040
Speaker 1: and give him a fifty fifty ball, but it's got

2367
01:53:28,040 --> 01:53:29,559
Speaker 1: to be the right guy on the right coverage at

2368
01:53:29,560 --> 01:53:33,240
Speaker 1: the right time. So there you go. And plus, let's

2369
01:53:33,240 --> 01:53:35,599
Speaker 1: face it, the Patriots are playing in our defense. They

2370
01:53:35,600 --> 01:53:38,760
Speaker 1: weren't playing the Dolphins defense or the Bengals defense, and

2371
01:53:38,800 --> 01:53:41,439
Speaker 1: they'll try some things against ours with Matt Milano out there.

2372
01:53:41,479 --> 01:53:45,280
Speaker 1: And believe me, they completed one and the other one

2373
01:53:45,320 --> 01:53:47,559
Speaker 1: was incomplete. They did it a couple of times, and

2374
01:53:47,600 --> 01:53:49,599
Speaker 1: they completed just one of them, so they weren't gonna

2375
01:53:49,600 --> 01:53:51,760
Speaker 1: go too They weren't gonna waste too many plays doing

2376
01:53:51,800 --> 01:53:54,040
Speaker 1: it because Milana was pretty good at it and the

2377
01:53:54,040 --> 01:53:56,640
Speaker 1: reason and they were completed. The one down to the

2378
01:53:56,680 --> 01:53:58,960
Speaker 1: two yard line. Milana was all over it, and it

2379
01:53:59,040 --> 01:54:03,240
Speaker 1: was just one of those hair's breath from being incomplete.

2380
01:54:03,280 --> 01:54:05,639
Speaker 1: So it's a low percentage pass. Even though you got

2381
01:54:05,680 --> 01:54:08,439
Speaker 1: the greatest quarterback of all time throwing it. It was

2382
01:54:08,560 --> 01:54:11,360
Speaker 1: barely completed one time and the other times it was not.

2383
01:54:11,840 --> 01:54:14,120
Speaker 1: Let's say call here from AL, go ahead, AL, welcome

2384
01:54:14,160 --> 01:54:23,599
Speaker 1: to the show. Al Al, yeah, Hi, you're on the air. Hi, okay,

2385
01:54:23,640 --> 01:54:27,479
Speaker 1: I'm about Josh Gordon. I'll pick up. I don't think

2386
01:54:27,479 --> 01:54:30,400
Speaker 1: he's a good pick up because of the guys that

2387
01:54:30,520 --> 01:54:36,720
Speaker 1: constantly hurt, you know, and somebody else. It's gonna be

2388
01:54:36,800 --> 01:54:40,760
Speaker 1: more well, yeah, hurt. And of course there's the history

2389
01:54:40,840 --> 01:54:46,600
Speaker 1: right with several multiple suspensions for um A legal substances,

2390
01:54:46,720 --> 01:54:49,800
Speaker 1: substance abuse. Uh. I hope he's cleaned that up. He

2391
01:54:49,840 --> 01:54:51,640
Speaker 1: may have with newing them, but I don't think bills

2392
01:54:51,640 --> 01:54:53,760
Speaker 1: are gonna get a chance to pick him up. Steve Right,

2393
01:54:53,800 --> 01:54:55,720
Speaker 1: it doesn't look like that. Here, picture yourself. If you're

2394
01:54:55,720 --> 01:54:57,480
Speaker 1: the if you're the Patriots, if you've got the guy

2395
01:54:57,520 --> 01:55:02,080
Speaker 1: on IR right now and he's healthy, I think what

2396
01:55:02,120 --> 01:55:04,520
Speaker 1: you do is I mean, they're going to hang on

2397
01:55:04,560 --> 01:55:07,560
Speaker 1: to him. If he's healthy enough to be activated, they

2398
01:55:07,560 --> 01:55:11,000
Speaker 1: can put him on IR wait till after Sunday. So

2399
01:55:11,040 --> 01:55:13,120
Speaker 1: what happens if they go in Sunday Julian Edelman gets

2400
01:55:13,200 --> 01:55:16,880
Speaker 1: hurt and this Mohammed Sanou gets hurt, well, then they

2401
01:55:16,920 --> 01:55:20,920
Speaker 1: need him right, but they can activate him. They can

2402
01:55:20,960 --> 01:55:23,000
Speaker 1: either wave him or activate him. They can try and

2403
01:55:23,000 --> 01:55:25,160
Speaker 1: get him to sign back with them if he will,

2404
01:55:26,240 --> 01:55:29,560
Speaker 1: if they don't. If they if they wait till next Wednesday,

2405
01:55:29,960 --> 01:55:33,040
Speaker 1: then they're dumping him on the Miami Dolphins. And they

2406
01:55:33,120 --> 01:55:36,480
Speaker 1: don't really care. Right But if they go through go

2407
01:55:36,560 --> 01:55:38,840
Speaker 1: through waivers, he goes through waivers, which means a team

2408
01:55:38,840 --> 01:55:41,160
Speaker 1: that wants to put an acclaim on him, Cannon, they'll

2409
01:55:41,200 --> 01:55:43,440
Speaker 1: be there. You would think there'd be multiple teams that

2410
01:55:43,440 --> 01:55:45,800
Speaker 1: would kick his tires anyway. Now if they don't, if

2411
01:55:45,840 --> 01:55:48,640
Speaker 1: they cut him now before this week, he becomes a

2412
01:55:48,640 --> 01:55:51,760
Speaker 1: free agent. If he's healthy, he can go right to

2413
01:55:51,760 --> 01:55:53,680
Speaker 1: a team and play right away. And well, what happens

2414
01:55:53,760 --> 01:55:58,879
Speaker 1: if the Kansas City Chiefs, given their history and penchant

2415
01:55:58,880 --> 01:56:02,280
Speaker 1: for signing players like this with problems, if he goes

2416
01:56:02,360 --> 01:56:04,640
Speaker 1: right to the Kansas City Chiefs and that Patriots end

2417
01:56:04,720 --> 01:56:08,000
Speaker 1: up playing him in three months, you know that they

2418
01:56:08,000 --> 01:56:10,320
Speaker 1: don't want that. So the Patriots are probably going to

2419
01:56:10,360 --> 01:56:12,920
Speaker 1: hang on to him until pass the trade deadline and

2420
01:56:13,040 --> 01:56:14,880
Speaker 1: put it through the waiver claim and see who can

2421
01:56:14,920 --> 01:56:16,840
Speaker 1: get him. Then they'll take their chances with the teams

2422
01:56:16,840 --> 01:56:19,080
Speaker 1: at the bottom of the waiver claim. Wirey call here

2423
01:56:19,160 --> 01:56:22,920
Speaker 1: from Dave in Florida. Hello, Dave, Welcome to the show. Hey, Hey, guys,

2424
01:56:22,920 --> 01:56:25,720
Speaker 1: how you doing today? Good? This is a two things.

2425
01:56:25,800 --> 01:56:28,400
Speaker 1: First thing is the Patriots only beat this because of

2426
01:56:28,440 --> 01:56:30,080
Speaker 1: the block. Part. I don't want to hear no more

2427
01:56:30,080 --> 01:56:35,640
Speaker 1: about the Patriots. Okay, on your Twitter, you just keep

2428
01:56:35,720 --> 01:56:39,920
Speaker 1: Josh Allen and Cole Beasley connected, and Frank Gore up

2429
01:56:39,960 --> 01:56:43,480
Speaker 1: the middle, dropped that other defense, and then let Alan

2430
01:56:43,600 --> 01:56:46,280
Speaker 1: try a few long balls. That's it, and it's that

2431
01:56:46,360 --> 01:56:50,080
Speaker 1: good over anxious arry O good, just fine, all right,

2432
01:56:50,160 --> 01:56:51,720
Speaker 1: I'm kind of with you. I mean, there's a lot,

2433
01:56:52,000 --> 01:56:56,560
Speaker 1: no question. I mean, they're sitting pretty good, and they've

2434
01:56:56,600 --> 01:56:59,680
Speaker 1: made they're playing I think they're playing better and better offensively.

2435
01:57:00,240 --> 01:57:02,480
Speaker 1: Uh in a game where they didn't have any turnovers,

2436
01:57:03,760 --> 01:57:06,920
Speaker 1: they won by ten and the game was in control,

2437
01:57:06,920 --> 01:57:08,960
Speaker 1: and they got their last touchdown because the other team

2438
01:57:09,080 --> 01:57:12,960
Speaker 1: was desperation on sidekick. So I'm I'm kind of with

2439
01:57:13,000 --> 01:57:19,000
Speaker 1: you there. I'm not I'm not fixing something that's not broken.

2440
01:57:19,600 --> 01:57:21,720
Speaker 1: And certainly there's some improvement to be made. If there's

2441
01:57:21,720 --> 01:57:24,240
Speaker 1: a player out there that this team thinks as significantly

2442
01:57:24,400 --> 01:57:27,760
Speaker 1: is that good to help this team, then yeah, I'm

2443
01:57:27,760 --> 01:57:31,320
Speaker 1: all for paying the right price to get him. But

2444
01:57:31,360 --> 01:57:33,320
Speaker 1: I mean I'm pretty happy where we're at right now.

2445
01:57:33,440 --> 01:57:36,480
Speaker 1: I'm kind of with you, Pat, you know, Dave Hey, Yeah.

Speaker 1: One Bill's Drive from our studio, the Seneca Studio, and

2496
02:00:16,560 --> 02:00:32,040
Speaker 1: this is Buffalo Bill's Radio. One Bill's Live. John Murphy's

2497
02:00:32,040 --> 02:00:34,520
Speaker 1: Team Tasker in the Seneca studio right next door to

2498
02:00:34,560 --> 02:00:38,080
Speaker 1: the Bills practice field. The latest update from today's practice.

2499
02:00:38,360 --> 02:00:41,880
Speaker 1: Three players listed as limited by head coach Sean McDermott.

2500
02:00:41,920 --> 02:00:46,960
Speaker 1: Linebacker Matt Milano remains limited. Cornerback Kevin Johnson remains limited.

2501
02:00:47,040 --> 02:00:49,640
Speaker 1: Johnson as a neck injury. He was limited yesterday. Wide

2502
02:00:49,640 --> 02:00:52,560
Speaker 1: receiver Duke Williams still limited. He was limited yesterday with

2503
02:00:52,560 --> 02:00:56,000
Speaker 1: the shoulder, So you know, what do you take from that?

2504
02:00:56,480 --> 02:00:59,560
Speaker 1: So they're not getting better? I don't know, I don't know. Yeah,

2505
02:00:59,600 --> 02:01:03,520
Speaker 1: I think Milano now, Kevin Johnson, I mean he was

2506
02:01:03,560 --> 02:01:06,480
Speaker 1: in a rotational corner, and when Taron Johnson went down,

2507
02:01:06,560 --> 02:01:09,400
Speaker 1: Kevin Johnson started being rotated in a little heavier at spots.

2508
02:01:09,440 --> 02:01:12,920
Speaker 1: But Matt Milano, Duke Williams, those are kind of guys

2509
02:01:12,960 --> 02:01:15,839
Speaker 1: that are really concerning. I think Duke Williams is starting

2510
02:01:15,840 --> 02:01:17,720
Speaker 1: to contribute more and more and they're starting to give

2511
02:01:17,840 --> 02:01:22,000
Speaker 1: him some chances. And of course Matt Milano. The last

2512
02:01:22,000 --> 02:01:24,040
Speaker 1: thing you want to do is take any starter out

2513
02:01:24,040 --> 02:01:26,760
Speaker 1: of the number one or two defense in the league.

2514
02:01:28,680 --> 02:01:30,760
Speaker 1: But you know, we've seen him out there. He's starting

2515
02:01:30,800 --> 02:01:33,920
Speaker 1: to work back in. But this has been a team

2516
02:01:33,960 --> 02:01:37,080
Speaker 1: that has been really reticent to put players back in

2517
02:01:37,120 --> 02:01:42,320
Speaker 1: with those pulled muscles. You know, soon too soon, yep.

2518
02:01:42,760 --> 02:01:44,520
Speaker 1: So you can bet that when he comes back, he's

2519
02:01:44,520 --> 02:01:46,000
Speaker 1: gonna be a hundred percent and he's gonna be one

2520
02:01:46,040 --> 02:01:48,400
Speaker 1: hundred percent healthy. What do you think, what are the

2521
02:01:48,400 --> 02:01:50,760
Speaker 1: Bills need to do. What's the most important step forward

2522
02:01:50,760 --> 02:01:52,920
Speaker 1: for the Buffalo offense. We've got time to talk about that.

2523
02:01:53,160 --> 02:01:55,280
Speaker 1: Let's go to Kevin and Buffalo. Hi, Kevin, welcome, you're

2524
02:01:55,280 --> 02:01:59,400
Speaker 1: on the air. Hey, how are you doing guys? Okay, Hey,

2525
02:01:59,440 --> 02:02:02,880
Speaker 1: I was thinking I was looking at the weather report.

2526
02:02:02,960 --> 02:02:06,000
Speaker 1: This is Buffalo in October, and it's supposed to be

2527
02:02:06,360 --> 02:02:08,640
Speaker 1: kind of rough because I play them doing some tailgating

2528
02:02:08,680 --> 02:02:11,240
Speaker 1: man up at the stadium, So it's gonna be rainy

2529
02:02:11,280 --> 02:02:14,360
Speaker 1: and fifty seven last I saw. Does that sound right? Yeah?

2530
02:02:14,440 --> 02:02:16,879
Speaker 1: And it's supposed to be a little windy too, Okay,

2531
02:02:16,960 --> 02:02:20,320
Speaker 1: So if it's anything like today, I wouldn't depend on

2532
02:02:20,400 --> 02:02:23,760
Speaker 1: that forty five forty eight, Yeah, field goal kick. I

2533
02:02:23,840 --> 02:02:27,440
Speaker 1: think Frank Gore and Singletary will be the key to

2534
02:02:27,520 --> 02:02:30,040
Speaker 1: winning that game. The long ball and everything practice and

2535
02:02:30,120 --> 02:02:32,360
Speaker 1: that I saw will and good, but the key this

2536
02:02:32,440 --> 02:02:35,960
Speaker 1: week is gonna be Frank Gore and Singletary for those reasons.

2537
02:02:36,160 --> 02:02:40,240
Speaker 1: And I'll just uh what you guys got. Yeah, Apparently

2538
02:02:40,240 --> 02:02:42,080
Speaker 1: the Bills really do need to win this game because

2539
02:02:42,120 --> 02:02:43,880
Speaker 1: if they do, they'll be tied for the best record

2540
02:02:43,880 --> 02:02:46,960
Speaker 1: in the conference. Because Jarvis Landry just guaranteed that the

2541
02:02:46,960 --> 02:02:49,360
Speaker 1: Browns are going to beat the Patriots. Can you believe that?

2542
02:02:49,400 --> 02:02:53,440
Speaker 1: In knock ahead? What is he doing Jarvis Landry, wide

2543
02:02:53,440 --> 02:02:56,440
Speaker 1: receiver for the for the Cleveland Brown says we're gonna win.

2544
02:02:56,520 --> 02:02:59,960
Speaker 1: It's just that simple. Okay. Oh my god, Sunday night

2545
02:03:00,080 --> 02:03:02,880
Speaker 1: or Monday night football. I'll bet he's getting beat up

2546
02:03:02,920 --> 02:03:05,520
Speaker 1: in the locker. Is that Monday? Now? Sunday Night's Monday

2547
02:03:05,560 --> 02:03:10,160
Speaker 1: Night football? Browns and Utats, And you mentioned kicks doing

2548
02:03:10,480 --> 02:03:13,880
Speaker 1: he's being Jarvis Lange. Oh, I hear what you're saying.

2549
02:03:14,160 --> 02:03:16,839
Speaker 1: The kicking game, you know? Did you know this? Jake Elliott,

2550
02:03:16,920 --> 02:03:20,120
Speaker 1: the second year kicker for the for the Philadelphia Eagle,

2551
02:03:20,160 --> 02:03:23,440
Speaker 1: says yet to miss a kick this year, Steve seventeen

2552
02:03:23,480 --> 02:03:26,200
Speaker 1: to seventeen on pointing after kicks. He's eight for eight

2553
02:03:26,240 --> 02:03:28,600
Speaker 1: on field goals. Jake Elliott has not missed a kick

2554
02:03:29,080 --> 02:03:31,400
Speaker 1: as long as this year, fifty three yards a couple

2555
02:03:31,400 --> 02:03:34,960
Speaker 1: of games ago in the UH in the loss at Minnesota, guys,

2556
02:03:35,000 --> 02:03:37,720
Speaker 1: yet to miss a kick. That's pretty impressive. We're there,

2557
02:03:38,080 --> 02:03:39,480
Speaker 1: so this will be their eighth game and the guy

2558
02:03:39,680 --> 02:03:41,880
Speaker 1: coming up, this guy is a missed a kick yet. Yeah,

2559
02:03:41,960 --> 02:03:45,440
Speaker 1: that's that's big. It's it's huge call here from Joe

2560
02:03:45,440 --> 02:03:47,960
Speaker 1: and Tonawanda. Joe, you're on the air, go ahead. Oh,

2561
02:03:48,040 --> 02:03:50,720
Speaker 1: It's been a long wait, but I got something good.

2562
02:03:50,800 --> 02:03:53,640
Speaker 1: All right. The key will win is limit hurts and

2563
02:03:53,720 --> 02:03:56,960
Speaker 1: don't turn the ball over. I'm expecting our first blow

2564
02:03:57,000 --> 02:04:01,920
Speaker 1: out thirty eight seventeen. Now here's the What does since

2565
02:04:02,000 --> 02:04:05,600
Speaker 1: he actually want for a j Green? I mean, we're

2566
02:04:05,600 --> 02:04:08,560
Speaker 1: gonna look awful stoopid if New England gets them. So

2567
02:04:09,200 --> 02:04:12,120
Speaker 1: I don't care if we give them all our draft picks.

2568
02:04:12,480 --> 02:04:15,240
Speaker 1: We need him and we will win the Super Bowl.

2569
02:04:15,520 --> 02:04:21,120
Speaker 1: Thank you. I'm gladuated a long time to get that

2570
02:04:21,160 --> 02:04:23,600
Speaker 1: off your chest. Joe. I appreciate it that. Thanks for

2571
02:04:23,600 --> 02:04:28,480
Speaker 1: the effort. Let's go to the No, no, no, no,

2572
02:04:28,560 --> 02:04:32,080
Speaker 1: they don't need him. They don't they now listen, I

2573
02:04:32,120 --> 02:04:33,960
Speaker 1: don't care if New England gets them. New England had

2574
02:04:34,080 --> 02:04:37,520
Speaker 1: Josh Gordon, New England had Antonio Brown. You know it

2575
02:04:37,720 --> 02:04:42,720
Speaker 1: is what it is. Now they've got Mohammed Sanu. I

2576
02:04:42,880 --> 02:04:47,280
Speaker 1: get it though. Nope. Yeah, I think and I've said

2577
02:04:47,280 --> 02:04:50,800
Speaker 1: this before, I think this. I think they're issues with

2578
02:04:50,880 --> 02:04:53,840
Speaker 1: the passing game are more about Josh than they are

2579
02:04:53,880 --> 02:04:57,160
Speaker 1: about the wide receivers. You know, Josh is still learning.

2580
02:04:57,280 --> 02:04:59,880
Speaker 1: There's these defense are throwing stuff at him. Nobody sees

2581
02:05:00,280 --> 02:05:02,840
Speaker 1: on a regular basis, and he said, he told us,

2582
02:05:02,880 --> 02:05:04,840
Speaker 1: he said in the media this week, I still haven't

2583
02:05:04,840 --> 02:05:07,240
Speaker 1: seen everything defense is gonna throw at us. He's still

2584
02:05:07,640 --> 02:05:10,200
Speaker 1: you know, they're still dealing with that so and once

2585
02:05:10,240 --> 02:05:12,640
Speaker 1: in a while. And I think probably part of it

2586
02:05:12,320 --> 02:05:15,040
Speaker 1: is the fact that I hitting the deep balls, is

2587
02:05:15,080 --> 02:05:18,720
Speaker 1: the fact that Josh is dealing with everything else, and

2588
02:05:18,720 --> 02:05:21,080
Speaker 1: it's it's not on his front burner, you know. I mean,

2589
02:05:21,120 --> 02:05:23,600
Speaker 1: he's not thinking about all. He's thinking about the protections

2590
02:05:23,600 --> 02:05:26,880
Speaker 1: and who's coming and who's backing out. And I think

2591
02:05:26,920 --> 02:05:31,080
Speaker 1: that is as much a part of the inconsistencies in

2592
02:05:31,080 --> 02:05:34,240
Speaker 1: the passing game as not having aj Green on the field.

2593
02:05:34,520 --> 02:05:37,360
Speaker 1: Jarvis Landry guarantees a win, you said, right. And by

2594
02:05:37,360 --> 02:05:39,520
Speaker 1: the way, I just looked up it's the late game Sunday,

2595
02:05:39,560 --> 02:05:42,080
Speaker 1: four twenty five pm on Sunday. Why does he do ye?

2596
02:05:42,680 --> 02:05:44,960
Speaker 1: And there's this too, the Browns. You know it'll be

2597
02:05:45,000 --> 02:05:47,320
Speaker 1: a featured game. Clearly it's probably on TV here, which

2598
02:05:47,360 --> 02:05:49,160
Speaker 1: is good. The Bills are getting set to play Cleveland

2599
02:05:49,480 --> 02:05:52,360
Speaker 1: in a couple of weeks. M Baker Mayfield went off

2600
02:05:52,480 --> 02:05:54,560
Speaker 1: with the media spotlight on the Browns, where it has

2601
02:05:54,640 --> 02:05:58,480
Speaker 1: remained most of the season. Baker Mayfield went off on officials.

2602
02:05:58,920 --> 02:06:01,600
Speaker 1: He took a fine for criticize un officials, and he

2603
02:06:01,680 --> 02:06:03,240
Speaker 1: kind of offended that fine when he met with the

2604
02:06:03,280 --> 02:06:06,880
Speaker 1: media this week in Cleveland. One, I wouldn't say it's

2605
02:06:06,880 --> 02:06:10,720
Speaker 1: complaining when it was blatantly obvious. Um, I'd say that's

2606
02:06:10,720 --> 02:06:14,600
Speaker 1: just stating facts. But freedom of speech. I thought, you know,

2607
02:06:14,600 --> 02:06:16,600
Speaker 1: it's okay, but I get fined for it. That's the league.

2608
02:06:16,640 --> 02:06:19,720
Speaker 1: That's what they do. They find you for some ridiculous things.

2609
02:06:20,840 --> 02:06:22,839
Speaker 1: It's just how it is. But there's a reason everybody's

2610
02:06:22,880 --> 02:06:25,760
Speaker 1: talking about it. It's not just me. It goes for

2611
02:06:25,800 --> 02:06:29,640
Speaker 1: every team, and just with how our team is, we're

2612
02:06:29,640 --> 02:06:30,920
Speaker 1: not going to get a lot of calls and we

2613
02:06:31,000 --> 02:06:34,440
Speaker 1: know that, especially going into this week. There there's no

2614
02:06:34,680 --> 02:06:36,840
Speaker 1: time to worry about it, no time to stress about it.

2615
02:06:37,120 --> 02:06:39,160
Speaker 1: Just play our game. When you say that I'll fubably

2616
02:06:39,200 --> 02:06:42,120
Speaker 1: get fined, is that like a throwaway line or did

2617
02:06:42,160 --> 02:06:44,360
Speaker 1: you really think? No, I know I was gonna get fined,

2618
02:06:44,440 --> 02:06:47,080
Speaker 1: But it needs to be said. People have to be

2619
02:06:47,120 --> 02:06:50,600
Speaker 1: a held accountable for their job. When it affects my job,

2620
02:06:50,800 --> 02:06:56,160
Speaker 1: it sucks because it's not in my control. I like

2621
02:06:56,240 --> 02:06:58,160
Speaker 1: when quarterbacks have a bit of an age to him.

2622
02:06:58,200 --> 02:07:00,520
Speaker 1: We had a great help of Fame quarterback was like that.

2623
02:07:00,640 --> 02:07:02,320
Speaker 1: I think Josh Allen has a bit of an edge

2624
02:07:02,360 --> 02:07:06,000
Speaker 1: to them, sometimes a different edge than Baker Mayfield. Um,

2625
02:07:07,760 --> 02:07:09,320
Speaker 1: it's almost like they can't get out of their own

2626
02:07:09,320 --> 02:07:11,960
Speaker 1: way sometimes they're in Cleveland. Steve. I may regret that

2627
02:07:12,160 --> 02:07:13,880
Speaker 1: in a couple of weeks when the Bills go down there.

2628
02:07:13,880 --> 02:07:16,400
Speaker 1: But come on, Baker, just chill. There's no chill there,

2629
02:07:16,400 --> 02:07:18,920
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, There's no whatever I got fined. Okay,

2630
02:07:18,960 --> 02:07:20,680
Speaker 1: there's no never in the history of the league as

2631
02:07:20,680 --> 02:07:24,120
Speaker 1: a team gone from oh and sixteen, one and fifteen

2632
02:07:24,240 --> 02:07:26,280
Speaker 1: to seven and nine or eight and eight what they

2633
02:07:26,280 --> 02:07:28,960
Speaker 1: were last year to having a huge target on their

2634
02:07:29,000 --> 02:07:33,080
Speaker 1: back faster than the Cleveland Browns. Yeah, I mean they

2635
02:07:33,080 --> 02:07:35,440
Speaker 1: seem to revel in it. Two. They seemed to, you know,

2636
02:07:35,520 --> 02:07:40,320
Speaker 1: embrace it, don't they, I guess? I mean, yeah, I

2637
02:07:40,360 --> 02:07:44,040
Speaker 1: mean that they're two and four. They were supposed to

2638
02:07:44,080 --> 02:07:48,600
Speaker 1: be four and two at worst. And you know, listen,

2639
02:07:48,640 --> 02:07:51,600
Speaker 1: we've we've sit here and we've had entire shows on

2640
02:07:51,640 --> 02:07:55,280
Speaker 1: the officiating in the NFL, and there have been times

2641
02:07:55,280 --> 02:07:59,720
Speaker 1: when when we feel they were horrible in the games

2642
02:07:59,760 --> 02:08:05,400
Speaker 1: we ad and we're five and one. I get, I mean,

2643
02:08:07,160 --> 02:08:09,000
Speaker 1: I don't know, right, Yeah, you can blame whoever you

2644
02:08:09,040 --> 02:08:12,800
Speaker 1: want and guaranteeing a win against the Patrick and then

2645
02:08:12,800 --> 02:08:14,840
Speaker 1: they go and come out and guarantee again win against

2646
02:08:14,840 --> 02:08:19,560
Speaker 1: those guys. The man. The biggest question mark and I

2647
02:08:19,560 --> 02:08:21,240
Speaker 1: told you this, Murph, and I said in the off

2648
02:08:21,240 --> 02:08:23,840
Speaker 1: Seaton the biggest question mark for the Cleveland Browns. Who's

2649
02:08:23,840 --> 02:08:26,240
Speaker 1: their head coach Freddy Kitchens. Ye, because they got guys

2650
02:08:26,640 --> 02:08:28,920
Speaker 1: and I'm telling you what he is. It is not

2651
02:08:29,040 --> 02:08:32,480
Speaker 1: happening for them. And having their players spout off like

2652
02:08:32,600 --> 02:08:35,400
Speaker 1: Jarvis Landry did, having Baker Mayfield say the stuff he

2653
02:08:35,480 --> 02:08:39,680
Speaker 1: did is testament to the fact that somebody didn't have

2654
02:08:39,720 --> 02:08:42,200
Speaker 1: their thumb on these guys like they should. You don't

2655
02:08:42,240 --> 02:08:47,200
Speaker 1: come out and guarantee you win. Nope. Call here from

2656
02:08:47,440 --> 02:08:50,280
Speaker 1: Mark and Clarence. Although the Eagles coach did it last week, Steven,

2657
02:08:50,320 --> 02:08:52,040
Speaker 1: he got his head handed to it. He did it.

2658
02:08:52,080 --> 02:08:54,400
Speaker 1: They're going to Dallas. Hello, Mark and Clarence, you're on

2659
02:08:54,440 --> 02:08:57,960
Speaker 1: the air, Hi follows, How are you okay? I just

2660
02:08:58,040 --> 02:09:01,760
Speaker 1: had one one comment about the fall and I don't

2661
02:09:01,760 --> 02:09:05,160
Speaker 1: claim to have a thorough understanding of what the defenses

2662
02:09:05,200 --> 02:09:08,000
Speaker 1: are doing against the build. But one thing you can

2663
02:09:08,080 --> 02:09:10,920
Speaker 1: see sitting in especially sitting in the stands, is whether

2664
02:09:10,920 --> 02:09:13,960
Speaker 1: there's one free safety or two free safeties. And I

2665
02:09:14,000 --> 02:09:15,720
Speaker 1: think a lot of times we look and we see

2666
02:09:15,720 --> 02:09:17,320
Speaker 1: one free safety in the middle of the field and

2667
02:09:17,440 --> 02:09:20,400
Speaker 1: we see you know, four wide or five wide, and

2668
02:09:20,520 --> 02:09:23,160
Speaker 1: we think on out and I know the defense may

2669
02:09:23,200 --> 02:09:25,400
Speaker 1: be disguising things, but a lot of times it stays

2670
02:09:25,440 --> 02:09:27,800
Speaker 1: with one safety in the middle of the field, where

2671
02:09:27,800 --> 02:09:29,720
Speaker 1: we could just take the out where you think, why

2672
02:09:29,760 --> 02:09:31,960
Speaker 1: aren't we just taking a shot with the outside receiver

2673
02:09:32,080 --> 02:09:33,920
Speaker 1: on a three step drop and just letting it go,

2674
02:09:34,320 --> 02:09:36,600
Speaker 1: you know, and taking a shot. Because what my fear

2675
02:09:36,720 --> 02:09:39,080
Speaker 1: is is that if people know we don't, we won't

2676
02:09:39,120 --> 02:09:41,680
Speaker 1: take shots and it's not part of our system yet

2677
02:09:41,800 --> 02:09:44,000
Speaker 1: that they always can play with one high free safety.

2678
02:09:44,280 --> 02:09:46,840
Speaker 1: It puts another person in the box, It does some

2679
02:09:46,960 --> 02:09:49,080
Speaker 1: other things that take away, you know, things that we're

2680
02:09:49,080 --> 02:09:52,320
Speaker 1: trying to do. Just slow you down a minute. They

2681
02:09:52,360 --> 02:09:54,720
Speaker 1: take shots down field. They haven't connected, there's no question

2682
02:09:54,760 --> 02:09:57,000
Speaker 1: they aven't connect amount enough. But you think they need

2683
02:09:57,000 --> 02:10:00,120
Speaker 1: more deep shots down field. Well, I'm talking about simple

2684
02:10:00,200 --> 02:10:04,080
Speaker 1: the outside widest receiver running a flat out goal pattern.

2685
02:10:04,560 --> 02:10:06,920
Speaker 1: I liked the crossing patterns and the deep and intermediate

2686
02:10:07,000 --> 02:10:08,840
Speaker 1: routes that I agree with you one hundred percent. How

2687
02:10:08,880 --> 02:10:11,680
Speaker 1: about just once in a while an outside fly pattern

2688
02:10:11,720 --> 02:10:13,840
Speaker 1: where a guy is just taking off and there's one

2689
02:10:13,920 --> 02:10:15,720
Speaker 1: free safety in the middle field who has to get

2690
02:10:15,720 --> 02:10:17,960
Speaker 1: from the middle of the field to the sideline to

2691
02:10:18,080 --> 02:10:20,560
Speaker 1: offer help to someone else one on one with John Brown?

2692
02:10:20,640 --> 02:10:22,960
Speaker 1: What do you think they're Steve. I think we've had

2693
02:10:23,000 --> 02:10:24,960
Speaker 1: guys running open deep and haven't been able to hit

2694
02:10:25,000 --> 02:10:27,320
Speaker 1: him anyway. So what differences to make if the safety's

2695
02:10:27,360 --> 02:10:29,520
Speaker 1: there or not. They've been open, whether the safeties one

2696
02:10:29,600 --> 02:10:32,520
Speaker 1: safety or two safety. They've had guys open down the field.

2697
02:10:32,680 --> 02:10:36,280
Speaker 1: They had Andre Roberts wide open and Josh threw at

2698
02:10:36,320 --> 02:10:41,000
Speaker 1: twelve yards too far. They've had guys open. John Brown

2699
02:10:41,080 --> 02:10:45,040
Speaker 1: was also opened down the seam early in the in

2700
02:10:45,080 --> 02:10:47,480
Speaker 1: the Dolphin game and Josh overthrew him there too. Now,

2701
02:10:47,480 --> 02:10:49,120
Speaker 1: he was didn't have much separation, but it was a

2702
02:10:49,160 --> 02:10:51,000
Speaker 1: throw that you've seen made a lot of times in

2703
02:10:51,040 --> 02:10:54,240
Speaker 1: the NFL. We've had guys in games passed in weeks

2704
02:10:54,280 --> 02:10:56,800
Speaker 1: past where you've had a deep shot that was open

2705
02:10:57,160 --> 02:11:01,240
Speaker 1: and they couldn't connect. So if they'd hit all of those,

2706
02:11:01,760 --> 02:11:04,280
Speaker 1: we wouldn't have anything to talk about the fact. The

2707
02:11:04,320 --> 02:11:06,879
Speaker 1: matter is, it's not the fact that they're not taking shots.

2708
02:11:07,000 --> 02:11:08,840
Speaker 1: It's the fact that they're not getting the ball to

2709
02:11:08,920 --> 02:11:13,160
Speaker 1: the receiver. Period. That's it, and I get it. I

2710
02:11:13,240 --> 02:11:17,080
Speaker 1: want to see that, said Chris Brown. He pulled it's

2711
02:11:17,120 --> 02:11:20,640
Speaker 1: in the right direction Monday. That's drapped off completions now

2712
02:11:21,160 --> 02:11:23,360
Speaker 1: twenty or more yards the bills that are at like

2713
02:11:23,360 --> 02:11:26,560
Speaker 1: eleven point six percent. It's about five percent, five percent

2714
02:11:26,600 --> 02:11:29,040
Speaker 1: fewer than all of last years. So it's not like boom,

2715
02:11:29,080 --> 02:11:31,360
Speaker 1: they're not doing it. They're not connecting. They are off

2716
02:11:31,360 --> 02:11:33,200
Speaker 1: five percent from where they were a year ago on

2717
02:11:33,240 --> 02:11:35,640
Speaker 1: completions of twenty or more yards. Pro Football Focus has

2718
02:11:35,680 --> 02:11:38,080
Speaker 1: got a stat out Josh Allen has the highest quarterback

2719
02:11:38,160 --> 02:11:40,680
Speaker 1: rating for every pass he's thrown under twenty yards this

2720
02:11:40,720 --> 02:11:43,600
Speaker 1: season anybody in the league. And he's the worst at

2721
02:11:43,640 --> 02:11:46,640
Speaker 1: twenty plus yards down the field. So they just haven't

2722
02:11:46,680 --> 02:11:49,680
Speaker 1: hit him. They've been taking him. Josh Allen has the

2723
02:11:49,760 --> 02:11:53,600
Speaker 1: highest quarterback rating of anybody for balls thrown under twenty

2724
02:11:53,640 --> 02:11:57,080
Speaker 1: yards down the field anybody. But they can't hit the

2725
02:11:57,120 --> 02:11:59,040
Speaker 1: deep ball. I mean, I get it, but it's not

2726
02:12:01,160 --> 02:12:03,720
Speaker 1: they got We've seen them. They got guys open, they

2727
02:12:03,760 --> 02:12:06,240
Speaker 1: just can't hit it. One Bill's Live presented by Kalida

Speaker 1: guys up front that you trust to get home, you

2743
02:12:55,760 --> 02:12:58,320
Speaker 1: can play that way versus having to play a little

2744
02:12:58,320 --> 02:13:02,240
Speaker 1: bit more aggressively in the secondary. So the personnel is
