Speaker 2: Welcome back to Primetime Bill's Mafia. Please have you with us.

6
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 3: Handoff goes to Algier through a hole down to the ten.

7
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 3: The five runs over tailor rapped and he's into the

8
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 3: end zone. It's a twenty two yard touchdown run and

9
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:07,120
Speaker 3: the Falcons are on the board. First, Allan back to

10
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 3: pass looking deep down the field. He's got Palmer and

11
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 3: he pulls it in for a huge play as he's

12
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 3: down to the twenty seven yard line.

13
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:20,559
Speaker 2: Back to pass has time, fires and it's.

14
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:23,959
Speaker 3: Complete for a touchdown in the end zone to Dawson Knox.

15
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 3: Dawson Knox with a nineteen yard touchdown reception and the

16
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 3: Bills are an extra point away from tying it up.

17
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 3: Here early Pennix back to pass looking left for London,

18
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:40,400
Speaker 3: who stretches over the go line, pour the touchdown, and

19
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:43,679
Speaker 3: off to Robinson through a hole twenty five point thirty

20
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 3: up the sideline, forty.

21
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 4: And dragged o. He keeps his feet and he is

22
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 4: g o Ni gone pie. Jon Robinson goes eighty one.

23
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 3: Yards for the touchdown, makes the handoff, rolls right.

24
00:01:58,480 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 4: Rose to Davis, down to the.

25
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 3: The five, dives for.

26
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 1: The pylon and he's in a.

27
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 3: Seventeen yard catch and run for Ray Davis his first

28
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:12,079
Speaker 3: touchdown of the season, and the Fills are back in

29
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 3: the game. There's a snap hold, his down.

30
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 4: Kick is blocked.

31
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 2: The field goal is blocked.

32
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 4: Hancock goes to scoop it up and he's got it

33
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 4: at the thirty nine yard line.

34
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:24,240
Speaker 2: What a play by the Pills.

35
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 4: Grey Brusso appears to be the guy that got in

36
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:30,640
Speaker 4: there and blocked the field goal. It's still a seven

37
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:33,520
Speaker 4: point ball game. With twelve twenty four.

38
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:36,800
Speaker 2: Left, Parker Romo will come on for another field goal attempt,

39
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 2: thirty three yard attempt from dead center. Here's a snap hold.

40
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 2: Down kick is up and it is good. So with

41
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:51,959
Speaker 2: one forty three left, the Falcons have essentially put this

42
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:56,079
Speaker 2: one to bed. They are up ten. With one forty

43
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,799
Speaker 2: three remaining, the Bills have to come up with a

44
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:05,239
Speaker 2: miracle finishing no timeouts one three remaining. Here's the snap

45
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 2: on second and one back to pass. Thinks about running

46
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 2: now doubles back to his left looking for a receiver

47
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 2: in the end zone, flings it, its tipped at the

48
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:19,960
Speaker 2: line of scrimmage, and it's interceptive intercepted by D'Angelo Malone,

49
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:25,079
Speaker 2: the linebacker. With this game about to expire, they will

50
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 2: now have back to back defeats. Game Rewind is presented

54
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 2: night football defeat at the hands of the Falcons in Atlanta,

55
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 2: as the Bills in every season under Sean McDermott have

56
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 2: now experienced back to back defeats. Last year, it was

57
00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 2: Week four and Week five. This year it is Week

58
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 2: five and week six. As the Bills fall to four

59
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 2: and two and out of first place via tiebreaker in

60
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,840
Speaker 2: the AFC East. The Bills will be looking up at

61
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 2: the New England Patriots in first place of the AFC

62
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 2: East for the next two weeks at least.

63
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:22,040
Speaker 1: At least Yeah, yesterday was We've seen this team as

64
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:25,280
Speaker 1: well as they've played with Josh Allen Sean McDermott over

65
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 1: the years, and the games that they've absolutely been out

66
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:30,359
Speaker 1: standing in then. We've seen them win games where they

67
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:32,360
Speaker 1: didn't play well. We've seen them play well and lose

68
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 1: games where they played really well in and we've seen

69
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 1: them play bad. They this is the first time in

70
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 1: a while that they've looked like a bad football team.

71
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 1: They got out played by Atlanta yesterday, and certainly we

72
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 1: knew going in Atlanta was a bad matchup for him

73
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:48,920
Speaker 1: because of the elite talent, physical talent they had. They've

74
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:50,600
Speaker 1: been drafted at the top of the NFL draft for

75
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 1: a while and they've been hitting on some of those

76
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:55,600
Speaker 1: guys and now they've got you know, Rayhee Morris, and

77
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 1: they've got it together talent wise, and they looked like

78
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 1: it last night. Monday Night Football. The Atlanta Falcons on

79
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 1: their Monday Night record has been really really good over.

80
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 2: The years, eight of their last nine Monday Night games.

81
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 1: It doesn't happen to them all the time. And it's

82
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 1: still like Bills fans can relate they were too last year, right,

83
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:17,920
Speaker 1: so that's on Monday now. They they outplayed Buffalo last

84
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 1: night and the Bills didn't look good at all. And

85
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 1: either side of the ball, you know, the if Rousseau

86
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 1: doesn't block that field goal. It looks like all three

87
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 1: phases looked bad. But even so, that kick was going sideways,

88
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:36,480
Speaker 1: which is why Rousseau got help with his arm pit. Practically, yes,

89
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 1: this it was a bad night last night. The Bills

90
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:41,920
Speaker 1: didn't look good. Certainly, they had their moment, had some

91
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 1: opportunities where things didn't go go their way. But man,

92
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 1: bad football teams line up off size on the first

93
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:50,359
Speaker 1: play from scrimmage and the gatea turnover. Bad football players

94
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:54,039
Speaker 1: negate a sack for eight yard, a loss of six.

95
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:55,919
Speaker 1: It goes to second and five, is set a second

96
00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 1: and sixteen, and they end up with a seventy yard touchdown,

97
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 1: eighty one yard run, eighty yard run going down the

98
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 1: other way on the next play. That's what bad football

99
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 1: teams do. You can't play like that and expect to win.

100
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:16,240
Speaker 1: You can't. And we knew too. The talent up front

101
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 1: for Atlanta's defense was going to be bolstered by the

102
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 1: fact that they've got a defensive coordinator who played against

103
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:28,159
Speaker 1: this offense five or six times in the last two years.

104
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 2: Jeff Olbrich. He was with the Jets.

105
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:35,599
Speaker 1: He knows what the Bills are about. So you knew

106
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 1: it was going to be a rough night, and they

107
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 1: made the Bills pay for it. Josh Allen paid for it.

108
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,599
Speaker 1: So that's it was. It was bad. Bills fans are

109
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 1: waking up this morning like they're and they have every reason.

110
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 1: This is a bad Monday morning. Man, two losses in

111
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 1: a row and it's Tuesday morning. At least, that's right,

112
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:57,560
Speaker 1: that's right. There is that to one less day. It was, man,

113
00:06:57,640 --> 00:06:59,920
Speaker 1: it was rough to watch last night. The Bills look

114
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:03,679
Speaker 1: like the drought Bills, right, They really did, because they

115
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,360
Speaker 1: did it to themselves and at times they didn't look

116
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:06,720
Speaker 1: good enough.

117
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 2: Injuries were a story going into the game, with DeMar

118
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 2: Hamlin and TJ. Sanders going on ir over the weekend.

119
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 2: Then Dalton kin Kaid is inactive with the oblique muscle injury.

120
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 2: He entered the game questionable, and day Kwon Jones suffers

121
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 2: a calf muscle injury in pregame warmups, leaving Buffalo with

122
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 2: just three dressed defensive tackles. Early in the first half,

123
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 2: Joshua Palmer goes down with an ankle injury does not return.

124
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 2: He was fortunate it wasn't a bad knee injury, as

125
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 2: his leg bent very awkwardly as he was taken to

126
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 2: the ground. Terrell Bernard goes out with an ankle injury,

127
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 2: kennot to return despite his best efforts to work on

128
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 2: it on the sidelines. Christian Benford leaves with an achilles

129
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 2: miraculously comes back and finishes the game, but he was

130
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 2: dragging his leg around for most of the second half.

131
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 2: It was amazing he played as well as he did.

132
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 2: Connor McGovern exits, returns to the lineup. Cole Bishop exits

133
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 2: with cramps, briefly returns and then was out by the

134
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 2: end of the game. People including us, were wondering, how

135
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 2: are you going to find room on the roster for

136
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 2: Michael Hoyt and Larry Ogan Jobi when they come back

137
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 2: from suspension. No problem, you got two open roster spots

138
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 2: with Sanders and Hamlin on ir. Just take those spots

139
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 2: and off you go. Thought it was going to be

140
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:25,239
Speaker 2: a difficult decision. No injuries have made it a decision

141
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 2: for you.

142
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 1: We thought that though weeks ago we knew it something

143
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 1: would happen, it'd be and here you are self evident.

144
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 2: Buffalo's offensive line had no answers for the highest Blitzer

145
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:38,720
Speaker 2: eight team in the league. On Yamada and Harrison inside

146
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 2: for the Falcons consistently walked the guards and center back

147
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:45,559
Speaker 2: into the pocket. There were protection issues, as the Falcons

148
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:47,559
Speaker 2: had free runners at the quarterback in about a half

149
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:49,559
Speaker 2: a dozen plays. Now, part of that is on Josh

150
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 2: setting the protections, but you got to help your quarterback.

151
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 2: They should have Max protected sooner in that game. I

152
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:58,079
Speaker 2: did not see it until the third quarter, and it

153
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:00,959
Speaker 2: only happened on a couple of plays. The Falcons knew

154
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:03,679
Speaker 2: that Bill's receivers couldn't win early, and if you get

155
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 2: quick pressure, you can bring this offense to its knees.

156
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 2: They have now provided the blueprint for future opponents Bill's

157
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 2: defense gutsy performance in the second half. Here are the

158
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:20,320
Speaker 2: five possessions for the Falcons to end the game. Punt, blocked,

159
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:25,600
Speaker 2: field goal, punt, field goal, kneel down. Falcons have now

160
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 2: won eight of their last nine games on Monday Night Football.

161
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:29,719
Speaker 2: They were two and oh last year, they're one to

162
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 2: oh this year. Bijon Robinson came into the game leading

163
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 2: the league with a one hundred and forty six total

164
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:39,200
Speaker 2: yards from scrimmage per game. He almost doubled that last

165
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 2: night against a team that still cannot tackle on a

166
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 2: consistent basis. So there are a lot of questions that

167
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 2: need to be answered. And this is as much on

168
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:59,719
Speaker 2: the players as you might put things on coaches. This

169
00:09:59,880 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 2: is a team that we know does not have a

170
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 2: tremendous amount of elite physical talent on it. It's why

171
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 2: they routinely have two, sometimes three Pro Bowlers every year,

172
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:18,679
Speaker 2: and it's usually Cook Alan Dawkins. That's usually your three

173
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:22,679
Speaker 2: Pro Bowl representatives. And those are your elite physical talents

174
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 2: on the team. And that's why Sean McDermott and his

175
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 2: coaching staff have done a great job of playing eleven

176
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:35,319
Speaker 2: man team football, where the sum of its parts is

177
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:38,959
Speaker 2: what helps this team excel. We have not seen that

178
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 2: in the last two games, maybe the last three, and

179
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 2: some of the elite talent has helped lift the team

180
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 2: to a victory, you know, against the Saints in Week four,

181
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:54,680
Speaker 2: but these last two weeks it has not been nearly enough.

182
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:59,960
Speaker 2: The other problem is when you have a limited amount

183
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:05,480
Speaker 2: out of elite physical talent, it should be on the

184
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 2: field for more than fifty percent of the snaps. Someone

185
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:13,559
Speaker 2: is really going to have to explain this to me,

186
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 2: because we saw this at the end of the AFC

187
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 2: Championship Game last year, where James Cook is not on

188
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 2: the field in a one score game, in the AFC

189
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 2: Title game at the end of the game because he's

190
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:34,679
Speaker 2: not part of your two minute drill package. It's the

191
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 2: AFC Title game. Get the guy on the field. It's

192
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 2: the same thing last night. And what made it worse

193
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:44,679
Speaker 2: last night is you don't have Curtis Samuel, one of

194
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 2: your fastest players. You don't have Joshua Palmer he's out injured,

195
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 2: and you don't have Dalton Kincaid, one of your best

196
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 2: one on one separators. And so at the end of

197
00:11:55,200 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 2: the game, you are putting Elijah Moore, Keon Coleman, and

198
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 2: Tyrell Shavers on the field with Ty Johnson in the backfield.

199
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:08,240
Speaker 2: And even if you believe Ty Johnson is your better

200
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:13,719
Speaker 2: pass protector, fine, why is James Cook not on the

201
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:17,559
Speaker 2: field split out wide to be a mismatch in the

202
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:20,920
Speaker 2: passing game? You're telling me that guy can't separate from

203
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:25,719
Speaker 2: a safety or a linebacker. He finishes the game with

204
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:30,199
Speaker 2: thirty of the fifty seven snaps on offense. He played

205
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 2: fifty three percent of the snaps. Khalil Shakir, your next

206
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 2: best separator sixty percent of the snaps. He played four

207
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 2: more snaps than Cook thirty four. How are those two

208
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:45,040
Speaker 2: guys not on the field for every single snap on offense?

209
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:48,560
Speaker 2: Somebody helped me with that. You are devoid of elite

210
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 2: physical talent on offense and your best physical separators are

211
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 2: not on the field. How does that happen? Somebody help me, please,

212
00:12:56,920 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 2: I need an explanation because I'm having truck like. You know,

213
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:05,320
Speaker 2: you you learn from past experience, right, you learn from

214
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:07,720
Speaker 2: from things that don't go right. You have a loss

215
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 2: in the AFC title game, James Cook's not on the field.

216
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 2: Coach McDermott was asked that question last night and he said, yeah,

217
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 2: we got to take a look at it. Seemed like

218
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 2: he was just as perturbed as I was as to

219
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 2: why James Cook is not on the field at the

220
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 2: end of the game in a one score game, like

221
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:25,920
Speaker 2: five minutes left, whatever it was, He's not on the field.

222
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:30,719
Speaker 2: How does that happen? Somebody helped me throw me a line, like,

223
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 2: helped me with that.

224
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:33,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't get it.

225
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is.

226
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 1: It's it's a well, I don't know. I all I

227
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:44,920
Speaker 1: can say is they this is uh It just seems

228
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 1: like what they have done in the past that got

229
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:50,679
Speaker 1: him so far last year. They got him to the

230
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:53,559
Speaker 1: AFC Championship last year, And certainly I get that the

231
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:57,680
Speaker 1: injuries of hamstrung their ability. And you're right, the elite

232
00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:00,120
Speaker 1: talent whatever it is, that they are not fire on

233
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:03,920
Speaker 1: all cylinders physically. Their rosters is ravaged and it's showing.

234
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 1: And I think with a roster made up like the

235
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:09,719
Speaker 1: one of the Bills put out there, I think it

236
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 1: starts to show a little bit in different ways than

237
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:14,199
Speaker 1: other rosters. Do you know what I mean? I just

238
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 1: there's less you can do to smooth over the void

239
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 1: left by injuries when you don't have.

240
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 2: Elite athletes, right, so at least so lean on the

241
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:28,360
Speaker 2: elite athletes you have all the more that means get

242
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 2: Cook and Shakira on the field more.

243
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 1: I think, Yeah, you're right. All that stuff we hear

244
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 1: all the.

245
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 2: Time, Steve, What do we hear coaches say all the time?

246
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 2: Coaches say all the time it's most important that we

247
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 2: get our best eleven on the field. We hear that

248
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 2: in training camp all the time. Our job here is

249
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 2: to evaluate get our best eleven on the field. James

250
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 2: Cook and Khalil Shakira, two of your best eleven. They

251
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 2: can't be playing fifty three percent of the snaps.

252
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:55,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think. Yeah, I don't think they really

253
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 1: know who their best eleven are when they got so

254
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:00,720
Speaker 1: many guys in and out of the lineup, plus they

255
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 1: got to fit those guys and their skill sets into

256
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:06,000
Speaker 1: the place calls. It just didn't work last night.

257
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 2: I understand all of that. Your offense is going nowhere

258
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 2: last night. Yeah, No one can get open, and even

259
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 2: when guys are getting open, the protection's not holding up

260
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:19,760
Speaker 2: to give Josh the ability to get the ball out

261
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 2: of his hand to throw it to the guy that's open.

262
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 2: So it was either a receiving cor can't get open

263
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 2: or the pressure. It's so like that play right there

264
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:32,120
Speaker 2: that our MSG viewers are watching. There's a receiver crossing underneath.

265
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:34,440
Speaker 2: He's wide open, but Josh can't get it to him

266
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 2: because the pressure's on him. So it was one of

267
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 2: two things. Receivers can't get open, pressure and the protection

268
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 2: can hold up this. So you either got a max

269
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 2: protect sooner in the game, help your quarterback and hope

270
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 2: somebody can get open with better protection, or or get

271
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 2: guys on the field that can separate early in the

272
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:56,480
Speaker 2: down like a cook, like a Shakir, play them more

273
00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 2: to give Josh more options to get the ball out

274
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 2: of his hand. To me, that seems like a simple answer.

275
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:05,040
Speaker 2: I realize I'm probably over simplifying it, But to me,

276
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:08,600
Speaker 2: I don't know, like they got a play more. Those

277
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 2: guys have to be on the field.

278
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:17,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's uh, it's you're You're right. It was really disconcerned.

279
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 1: Like on one of these plays we saw just a

280
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:21,040
Speaker 1: moment ago. I mean, Josh is getting sacked and there's

281
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:24,760
Speaker 1: two offensive linemen sitting on the ground. One of them

282
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 1: was hurt. Mcgovernent got went down and got hurt and

283
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 1: he came back up. But you know, I think I

284
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:31,400
Speaker 1: don't know whether it was Uh, I don't know whether

285
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 1: it was Cybo or whether it was Spencer b. You

286
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:35,160
Speaker 1: got two offensive linemen laying on the ground.

287
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:39,640
Speaker 2: And again you're talking about elite talents, first round picks

288
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:42,840
Speaker 2: coming off the edge in Pierce and Jalen Walker, who

289
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 2: I think in a year or so are gonna be

290
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 2: game wreckers every single week for that team playing in

291
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 2: that dome with crowd noise.

292
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 1: Bill's offensive line looked a little bit overwhelmed last night. Yeah,

293
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 1: they got at times, and they liked that group and

294
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:56,960
Speaker 1: they were good group, Yeah, but they were getting sent

295
00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 1: they were having trouble sorting through and there were times

296
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 1: when they had to have there's usually five offensive linemen

297
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 1: on four rushers and a base defense, you know that

298
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 1: kind of thing. Last night, it was five on five

299
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:09,720
Speaker 1: a lot and five on six at times, and the

300
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:13,639
Speaker 1: Atlanta Falcons were getting home fast, and.

301
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:15,359
Speaker 2: They're coming off of bye week. They had an extra

302
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:17,480
Speaker 2: chance to throw in some extra wrinkle. Sure, and the

303
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:19,919
Speaker 2: Bills were clearly caught off guard and it took him

304
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:22,720
Speaker 2: an awful long time to try to react in a job.

305
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 1: Their answers did not come fast enough, and you know

306
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:31,640
Speaker 1: that seems fairly obvious. So, yeah, that was a disconcerting

307
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 1: loss last night because of the defense at the end,

308
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 1: Like you said, in the last five possessions of the

309
00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:41,240
Speaker 1: game in the second half, they held them to three points.

310
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:48,239
Speaker 1: That's yeah, that's awesome, but it's too late. They all

311
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:50,480
Speaker 1: they should have had and were a hairs breadth away

312
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 1: from having twenty eight in the first half.

313
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, in the first half, Taylor rapt doesn't make a

314
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:57,960
Speaker 2: hustle play and knocked Drake London out of bounds and

315
00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:00,160
Speaker 2: wipe out what would have been a forty yard play

316
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:01,920
Speaker 2: and probably would have had Drake London at two hundred

317
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:04,880
Speaker 2: yards receiving. Yeah, which again speaks to the matchups.

318
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:06,879
Speaker 1: Didn't wipe it out. It just wiped the touch They

319
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:08,919
Speaker 1: still wiped the touchdown. Yeah, if they'd have had four

320
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:13,520
Speaker 1: more seconds on the clock. Yeah, that plays. That plays

321
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:15,440
Speaker 1: a touchdown on the next play, right, yea.

322
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 2: So it was it was a good hustle play there

323
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:19,520
Speaker 2: at the end of the half, and you got to

324
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:23,359
Speaker 2: credit the defense for not quitting despite being supremely shorthanded

325
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 2: down to three defensive tackles, one of whom is coming

326
00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:30,359
Speaker 2: off his five game absence, and it's probably not in

327
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:34,320
Speaker 2: great game shape. Ed Oliver's playing a ton yesterday, you know,

328
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:37,680
Speaker 2: at the end of the night, he's playing fifty five snaps. Yeah,

329
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:38,960
Speaker 2: in a three man rotation.

330
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:40,960
Speaker 1: There's a lot of things that went south on the

331
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 1: Bills last night. Dake One getting hurt before the game, yes, certainly,

332
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:48,320
Speaker 1: kin Kid not being available, certainly, Palmer going out of

333
00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:49,919
Speaker 1: the game early, certainly.

334
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:50,159
Speaker 5: You know.

335
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:53,200
Speaker 1: So it's it's kind of snowballed a little bit. And

336
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:55,920
Speaker 1: I think this, I think they really had a hard

337
00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:58,720
Speaker 1: time deciding how they were even going to solve those

338
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:02,480
Speaker 1: problems and then move forward against a team that was

339
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 1: getting the best of them. So not only they had

340
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:06,840
Speaker 1: to smooth over the rough spots of getting the roster

341
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 1: out there, they also had to decide how to use

342
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:11,240
Speaker 1: the roster they had in the best way possible. And

343
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:14,000
Speaker 1: so I'm I'm kind of with you. I think you

344
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:17,920
Speaker 1: start to lean on your great players in those situations,

345
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:19,240
Speaker 1: and Shakir and.

346
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:23,439
Speaker 2: Cook, I think that they have to be on that list, right,

347
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:24,760
Speaker 2: They got to be on the field more.

348
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:25,400
Speaker 1: So we'll see.

349
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:28,760
Speaker 2: I'm not saying that would have fixed everything, but at

350
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:31,440
Speaker 2: least it could have made your offense look more functional.

351
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:35,720
Speaker 1: Because the botched end a round for the second week

352
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:37,119
Speaker 1: or so, the third week in a row, I mean,

353
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:40,120
Speaker 1: what are we doing here? I mean, don't ask Let's

354
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:41,880
Speaker 1: not ask Josh to do something he's not really good

355
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:46,400
Speaker 1: at and obviously they're not. Let's do something else. Maybe

356
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 1: they execute that thing time after time and practice and

357
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:50,200
Speaker 1: get it right and it never misses it and it's

358
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:52,240
Speaker 1: all good. Well, you got to figure out to figure

359
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:53,960
Speaker 1: that out that you have the momentum.

360
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:56,160
Speaker 2: You just blocked a field goal. It's still a one

361
00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:59,399
Speaker 2: score game. You're moving the ball, you're at midfield. I

362
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:02,600
Speaker 2: mean it was like Baltimore all over again. It's a

363
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 2: twenty one to ten game in Baltimore in week four

364
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:07,760
Speaker 2: where they also gave up an eighty plus yard running

365
00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:10,600
Speaker 2: touchdown on a Monday night or Sunday night, whatever the

366
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:14,120
Speaker 2: hell it was. And they have momentum, they're down twenty

367
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:16,119
Speaker 2: one ten, they're moving the football, they're at midfield, and

368
00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:17,960
Speaker 2: they call a trick play that blows up in their face.

369
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:21,240
Speaker 2: It's a turnover. This time it's a third and one, Like,

370
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 2: just run Josh twice there. If you have to third

371
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:25,960
Speaker 2: and one, fourth and one, run them twice, get the

372
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:27,400
Speaker 2: first down, extend the drive.

373
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:31,760
Speaker 1: You have to stay on the field. You have to

374
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:33,159
Speaker 1: stay on the field offensively.

375
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:39,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's get to the phones, as we want your

376
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:43,439
Speaker 2: takeaways from last night's game. And you do that. At

377
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 2: eight h three oh five fifty one eight eight eight

378
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 2: five fifty two five point fifty, we lead off with

379
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:48,520
Speaker 2: Davin Orchard Park.

380
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:51,240
Speaker 6: Go ahead, Dave, gentlemen, good afternoon.

381
00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:54,119
Speaker 7: You know, twenty two penalties and three games.

382
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 6: It's not going to cut it.

383
00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:55,200
Speaker 8: You know.

384
00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:57,480
Speaker 7: McDermott comes up with this stuff every week. We got

385
00:20:57,600 --> 00:20:59,760
Speaker 7: to clean this up, clean that up. And you made

386
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:03,119
Speaker 7: twenty two penalties now in three games. The major turning

387
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:04,280
Speaker 7: point was the first play of the.

388
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:07,880
Speaker 2: Game, David. David's actually it's actually thirty penalties in three

389
00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:08,600
Speaker 2: games or thirty.

390
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:11,040
Speaker 7: I'm sorry, you're right, eleven eleven and eight. My math

391
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 7: isn't that great, but you're right. This four to two

392
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:16,119
Speaker 7: five defense, Chris, is an absolute joke. As far as

393
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:20,399
Speaker 7: I'm concerned, we always draft smallish linebackers. Thompson had a

394
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:22,320
Speaker 7: pick six that might have changed the game in the

395
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:25,000
Speaker 7: in the fourth quarter, and he didn't convert on it.

396
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:28,040
Speaker 7: This four to two five defense, we're getting one on

397
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 7: one situations where you had to see Rap making that

398
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 7: play at the end on Robinson or on London.

399
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:37,760
Speaker 6: Rather he got Bishop missing a tackle.

400
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:42,680
Speaker 7: On Bjohn And you're killing the secondary with its four

401
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:46,399
Speaker 7: two five. This other thing with Brady the third and

402
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:48,320
Speaker 7: one how many weeks in a row. Now, we saw

403
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:50,440
Speaker 7: it with Samuel it failed, We saw it with Knots

404
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:52,960
Speaker 7: that failed, and last night we saw with Loijah Morritt failed.

405
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 7: Brady and Babbis are going nowhere. McDermott's going nowhere. If

406
00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:58,920
Speaker 7: anybody thinks it calls in today and thinks any of

407
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:01,680
Speaker 7: these guys are being fired, forget it's not happening. I

408
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:04,359
Speaker 7: put a lot of this on being Let's face it,

409
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:06,919
Speaker 7: the drafting has not been that great. When Coleman came

410
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:10,240
Speaker 7: out of the draft, everybody knew he could not separate

411
00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:12,680
Speaker 7: and he wasn't that fast, and we've seen it in

412
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:15,360
Speaker 7: these games. How much of a difference did kin kid

413
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:19,600
Speaker 7: and Millano's absence mean last night. Well, apparently it meant

414
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:22,600
Speaker 7: a lot because Allen was flustered the whole game and

415
00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:24,720
Speaker 7: he couldn't rely on anybody else to get the ball

416
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:26,879
Speaker 7: to and then they lost Palmer. But I'm not going

417
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:29,879
Speaker 7: to put injuries in the equation here. This team has

418
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:32,840
Speaker 7: been a mess ever since the Miami game. We looked

419
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:35,080
Speaker 7: bad against them, we looked bad against New Orleans and

420
00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:38,200
Speaker 7: barely won. The Jets game was a throwout. We were

421
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:40,840
Speaker 7: down three quarters to the Ravens and barely pulled that

422
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:42,960
Speaker 7: out of the game. And then the last two weeks

423
00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:46,760
Speaker 7: New England Atlanta exposed us. Forget about the people that

424
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:48,680
Speaker 7: weren't on the field for us. We got Oliver back

425
00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:51,360
Speaker 7: last night and we still lost. This team has got

426
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:53,280
Speaker 7: a lot of issues to clean up for the next

427
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:55,600
Speaker 7: two weeks, and I wish to god somebody would say

428
00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:57,600
Speaker 7: being go out and make a trade, but I don't

429
00:22:57,640 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 7: see it happening. I know we're up against it with

430
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:02,560
Speaker 7: a cap and I don't see even where a wide

431
00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:04,720
Speaker 7: receiver or somebody in the secondary is going to help

432
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:06,560
Speaker 7: this team at this point. I can tell you right now,

433
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:09,200
Speaker 7: they're going to rely on Okin Joby, and they're gonna

434
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:11,520
Speaker 7: rely on Harrison and Michael Hoyd and all these guys

435
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:13,760
Speaker 7: gonna healthy in the next two weeks. And think that

436
00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:15,800
Speaker 7: it's going to solve all the issues when we're playing

437
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:18,320
Speaker 7: Carolina and Kansas City in the next two weeks, I'm out.

438
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:21,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, thanks Dave, long list. There's there's a lot

439
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:25,520
Speaker 1: in that. And you're right they I mean Ogan Joby

440
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:27,440
Speaker 1: and Hoyt and Harrison. I don't know if you know

441
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:29,800
Speaker 1: who knows if he'll be ready to go at all?

442
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:34,440
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, okay, oh listen.

443
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 2: But we'll know and heut are healthy.

444
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:38,399
Speaker 1: They'll be ready, they'll be healthy, they'll pay Yeah, and.

445
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:41,320
Speaker 2: You plug Ogunjoby in for day Kwon Jones, who's out

446
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:44,200
Speaker 2: for the foreseeable future with a calf injury. We don't

447
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:46,159
Speaker 2: know the severity of it. Maybe we find out more

448
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:50,320
Speaker 2: when coach mcturmot addresses the media this afternoon. But usually

449
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 2: leading up to a bye week, we don't get a

450
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:56,000
Speaker 2: tremendous amount of information. It's usually reserved for game week

451
00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:57,840
Speaker 2: the following week, So I don't know that we'll get

452
00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:01,320
Speaker 2: a tremendous amount of details on that. Here's the other

453
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:04,959
Speaker 2: thing that Mike brought up that I think does need

454
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:08,400
Speaker 2: to be addressed. We have a coaching staff that preaches

455
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:12,440
Speaker 2: fundamentals and preaches sweating the details, and we have not

456
00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:15,160
Speaker 2: seen that from this football team in the last three weeks.

457
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:19,439
Speaker 2: The penalties are high, the mental errors are higher than

458
00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:22,640
Speaker 2: we're used to seeing. Steve already mentioned the two lining

459
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:26,439
Speaker 2: up offsides pre snap wipes out a takeaway and wipes

460
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:29,280
Speaker 2: out a sack that led to a first in five.

461
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:32,200
Speaker 2: Is Bjon Robinson getting the ball on second and sixteen

462
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:34,800
Speaker 2: if the sack holds up and you're not off sides, No,

463
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:39,600
Speaker 2: And you can't tell me that this coaching staff is

464
00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:42,960
Speaker 2: not preaching it for some reason. It is not getting

465
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 2: through to the players. So this is a player problem

466
00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:51,280
Speaker 2: now that has to be addressed by the player driven leadership,

467
00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:53,959
Speaker 2: because if the coaches are not getting through to the players,

468
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:58,000
Speaker 2: the leaders on this team better because the standard has

469
00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 2: not been set. There is no state right now the

470
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:04,080
Speaker 2: last three weeks because what the standard normally is for

471
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:10,040
Speaker 2: this team is buttoned up play, airtight execution, and playing

472
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:13,479
Speaker 2: through the echo of the whistle till there's triple zeros

473
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:16,399
Speaker 2: on the clock and we are not seeing that from

474
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:21,080
Speaker 2: the players. And the coaches can say it till they're

475
00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:22,560
Speaker 2: blue in the face. They can't go out on the

476
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:25,240
Speaker 2: field and do it. I'm not saying it's all on

477
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:27,280
Speaker 2: the players, but the majority of it the last three

478
00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:31,199
Speaker 2: weeks is there's an execution problem, there's a standard problem,

479
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:34,679
Speaker 2: and there's a mental error and penalty problem, and it's

480
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 2: got to get fixed, and it starts with the players.

481
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:38,800
Speaker 8: Yeah.

482
00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:43,600
Speaker 1: I'm as a former player, Yeah, you got to start there.

483
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:48,359
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, they don't let them line up

484
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:50,439
Speaker 1: off sides in practice. You know, they call her attention

485
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:54,440
Speaker 1: to get that kind of stuff. The penalties, the compete penalties.

486
00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:57,520
Speaker 1: In a perfect world, you're like, okay, I get it.

487
00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:00,240
Speaker 1: At the top of a route they call, and in fact,

488
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:03,400
Speaker 1: the penalties be called on on both sides of the ball.

489
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:05,480
Speaker 1: If they're doing it, we're doing it, and they're letting

490
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:08,000
Speaker 1: it go on both sides. Nobody cares if they're calling

491
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:09,879
Speaker 1: it one way and not the other. That's a problem.

492
00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:15,879
Speaker 1: It's all that goes into the mix. But the you know,

493
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:22,000
Speaker 1: the the discipline penalties, the mental errors. You can't do that.

494
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:24,720
Speaker 1: And you and I we'll never know whether there's some

495
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:27,680
Speaker 1: well that we do know. The end a round is

496
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:32,919
Speaker 1: completely it's it's completely ill executed. They didn't execute that, right,

497
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:33,199
Speaker 1: come on.

498
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:36,040
Speaker 2: They haven't executed in three games. It's got to go away.

499
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:39,439
Speaker 1: All of that stuff points to just not being buttoned

500
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:40,280
Speaker 1: up as players.

501
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:45,000
Speaker 2: Yep. And look, they talk about the family atmosphere here

502
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:46,800
Speaker 2: and the culture and all of that, and that's great

503
00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:49,320
Speaker 2: that you know, players love on each other and stuff,

504
00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:52,720
Speaker 2: but sometimes families have to have difficult conversations, and some

505
00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:55,120
Speaker 2: difficult conversations need to be had in that locker room

506
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:57,280
Speaker 2: player to player, and some people need to be called

507
00:26:57,320 --> 00:27:00,760
Speaker 2: out on the carpet and be demanded that they do better,

508
00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:03,720
Speaker 2: because right now it's just flat out not good enough.

509
00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:07,400
Speaker 2: Across the board, and if players need to be called out,

510
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:10,480
Speaker 2: there have to be veteran leaders on this team that

511
00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:13,560
Speaker 2: are gonna have to do it, because what the coaches

512
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:15,840
Speaker 2: are preaching is not getting through to the players right

513
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:18,600
Speaker 2: now for whatever reason, and so players are going to

514
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:21,840
Speaker 2: have to take up that mantle and say, hey, what

515
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:25,240
Speaker 2: you're doing out there is killing us. It's not good enough,

516
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:27,159
Speaker 2: and it's got to be better. And if it's not,

517
00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:29,800
Speaker 2: go sit on the sidelines with the coaches and we'll

518
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:32,719
Speaker 2: get somebody in there that will do it. Players need

519
00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:35,800
Speaker 2: to hear that from their teammates and it's not easy,

520
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:38,040
Speaker 2: but it's got to be done here and fast. We

521
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:39,800
Speaker 2: got to take a break more of your phone calls

522
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:42,119
Speaker 2: when we come back on a Buffalo Football Tuesday on

523
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:44,359
Speaker 2: One Bill's Live, presented by Killida of Health, It's Buffalo

524
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:59,920
Speaker 2: Bills Radio. All right, welcome back to a Buffalo Football Tuesday.

525
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:02,080
Speaker 2: Chris Brown, Steve Tasker here on One Bill's Live, and

526
00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:05,880
Speaker 2: it's time now for from the Armchair, which is presented

527
00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:08,359
Speaker 2: by Raymore and Flannagain. Raymore and Flannagan as a proud

528
00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:10,960
Speaker 2: partner of the Buffalo Bills and here to help us

529
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:14,359
Speaker 2: out from the armchair is former Bill Center Mitch Morse,

530
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:18,560
Speaker 2: who is also the host of the Monday Mornings with

531
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:21,679
Speaker 2: Mitch podcast. Mitch, welcome in, good to.

532
00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:22,280
Speaker 1: Have you with us.

533
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:27,879
Speaker 2: Help us sort through this unfortunate performance on Monday Night

534
00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:33,280
Speaker 2: football last night. You've seen this team, Mitch. You've been

535
00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:35,920
Speaker 2: part of teams that have dropped back to back games

536
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:40,320
Speaker 2: and then course corrected successfully afterwards. So before we get

537
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:43,040
Speaker 2: into some of the observations from last night's game, Mitch,

538
00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:47,200
Speaker 2: maybe just settle everybody's nerves a little bit and talk

539
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:51,840
Speaker 2: about how this team in the past has successfully course

540
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 2: corrected from back to back defeats before.

541
00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:56,360
Speaker 8: Yeah.

542
00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:58,120
Speaker 9: I think it comes down to a word I use often,

543
00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:01,920
Speaker 9: which is candidness. You have cannon conversations with yourself, and

544
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:05,160
Speaker 9: you have cannon conversations within your team. You do some

545
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:09,000
Speaker 9: self scouting, and then you just bring a lunch pail.

546
00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:09,240
Speaker 8: Man.

547
00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:10,280
Speaker 2: It's the NFL.

548
00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:13,440
Speaker 9: You're going to drop two games. That's part of the gig.

549
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:16,400
Speaker 9: You don't want want it to be. Fans definitely don't

550
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:19,080
Speaker 9: want it to be. But if you ride this emotional

551
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:23,560
Speaker 9: roller coaster, dude, if you if you pander, and if

552
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:25,760
Speaker 9: you listen to the outside noise too much, then this

553
00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:27,560
Speaker 9: is just going to be a snowball effect. But if

554
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:31,040
Speaker 9: you kind of doubled down and hammer out what you

555
00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:34,560
Speaker 9: know works and then just execute, to be honest, to

556
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:37,880
Speaker 9: just look like a team that desperately needs a bye week.

557
00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:40,120
Speaker 9: And I think this is one of the earlier bye

558
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:43,440
Speaker 9: weeks this team's had in quite some time. And Ward

559
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:46,400
Speaker 9: works some mysterious ways. Man, These bye weeks tend to

560
00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:49,160
Speaker 9: come to teams when they desperately need them the most,

561
00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:52,239
Speaker 9: and I think this team is looking for one right now.

562
00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:54,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a rough spot, particularly on a Tuesday morning,

563
00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:57,520
Speaker 1: because last week you can kind of look at this

564
00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:00,239
Speaker 1: at the Patriots games, say, well, we turned to over

565
00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:02,960
Speaker 1: three times and it was a three point game. That's

566
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:06,120
Speaker 1: a game. Even in the midst of not playing their best,

567
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:08,360
Speaker 1: the Bills felt like they should have, could have would

568
00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:10,800
Speaker 1: have won that game. And that's the way the Bills

569
00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:12,840
Speaker 1: get beat, you know, they kind of helped their opponent.

570
00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:15,360
Speaker 1: It was one of those close losses that we've seen.

571
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:18,840
Speaker 1: This one. It was not good. It was not good,

572
00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:20,680
Speaker 1: it was a little it was This was a loss.

573
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:23,440
Speaker 1: They got beat by a good foot, a team that

574
00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:26,440
Speaker 1: was playing good that was talented and came to play

575
00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:29,560
Speaker 1: and they just couldn't match him. That's, you know, that's

576
00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:31,680
Speaker 1: the worst part about this loss yesterday and how it

577
00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:33,120
Speaker 1: was different from the Patriots loss.

578
00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:36,440
Speaker 9: Yeah, Steve, to your point, I thought this is a

579
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:39,680
Speaker 9: team not knowing too much about the Falcons, but turned

580
00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:41,400
Speaker 9: the TV off last night, I could tell you that

581
00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:44,240
Speaker 9: I have the utmost respect for how they play, the

582
00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:48,400
Speaker 9: talent they have, and just the physicality they bring in,

583
00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:52,280
Speaker 9: the explosiveness that they have. I thought that they first

584
00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:55,240
Speaker 9: of all, brought pressure more than any team we've played against,

585
00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:58,400
Speaker 9: right well over fifty percent. And then that rush attack

586
00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:00,680
Speaker 9: with Bjon Robinson and I forget the other running back's name,

587
00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:02,120
Speaker 9: but you know they had over two hundred and thirty

588
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:04,880
Speaker 9: yards rushing. I mean b Jon Robinson had over eight

589
00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:07,440
Speaker 9: yards of carry, and it was a credit to of

590
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:10,040
Speaker 9: course him. But I thought the offensive lineman blocked well.

591
00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:12,520
Speaker 9: I thought the receivers for them blocked well. I thought

592
00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:15,160
Speaker 9: they just came out and just flat out played really

593
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:18,840
Speaker 9: good football. So it definitely felt different than the week before.

594
00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:22,800
Speaker 9: But that doesn't give you pause and what this team

595
00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:24,640
Speaker 9: in Buffalo has. I think this is just one of

596
00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:27,240
Speaker 9: those things that you have to learn from right Like,

597
00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:30,160
Speaker 9: from the jump, it just felt like the Bills were

598
00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:32,560
Speaker 9: kind of trying to scratch from behind, claw from behind,

599
00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:35,520
Speaker 9: even when it was seven to seven ball game, right Like,

600
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:38,840
Speaker 9: it just felt very tough to feel like we were

601
00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:41,160
Speaker 9: ever in the driver's seat. And that's okay. There's a

602
00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:43,240
Speaker 9: learning experience in that, just as much as there was

603
00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:44,480
Speaker 9: a learning experience from last week.

604
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:47,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was interesting. Raheem Morris wins the coin to

605
00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:49,720
Speaker 2: us and Alex to receive. You could tell he wanted

606
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:52,600
Speaker 2: to get a jump on the Bills, get ahead on

607
00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:55,080
Speaker 2: the scoreboard, get the crowd into it, et cetera, et cetera,

608
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:57,000
Speaker 2: And it worked for them at the start of that

609
00:31:57,080 --> 00:32:00,720
Speaker 2: football game. All right, So observations from this one. Sam

610
00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:04,720
Speaker 2: Franklin has been a standout on special team since the

611
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:07,880
Speaker 2: Bills acquired him, and man, there was some jawjack and

612
00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:09,880
Speaker 2: this whole game between him and some of those guys

613
00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:12,760
Speaker 2: on the special teams units over on the other sideline

614
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:15,240
Speaker 2: for the Falcons, and it did not stop the entire game.

615
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:19,840
Speaker 9: I thought, Sam Franklin, he just jumped off the screen

616
00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:22,520
Speaker 9: for me. Man, you talk about a physical dude, A

617
00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:25,600
Speaker 9: physical ass dude on special teams. A tone setter. This

618
00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:28,360
Speaker 9: dude does it all. I mean, you're six guy spent

619
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:30,920
Speaker 9: most of his time in Carolina. Just the head's up

620
00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:33,880
Speaker 9: play right there, and then I think his blocking and

621
00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:37,880
Speaker 9: his tackling on this is remarkable. He has one of

622
00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:40,440
Speaker 9: his punt returns where he's at the bottom of the

623
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:43,160
Speaker 9: screen here and he just dogs a dude. He plays physical,

624
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:45,760
Speaker 9: he plays angry, he plays angry. Oh my goodness, look

625
00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:47,200
Speaker 9: at that. And then he gives him a little bit

626
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:49,240
Speaker 9: of extra stank right after that. Right there. He just

627
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:52,680
Speaker 9: a tone setter in a game that I felt like

628
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:56,200
Speaker 9: that might have been lacking a little bit, and that's

629
00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:59,040
Speaker 9: there's certain precursors for that. And then, of course, outside

630
00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:02,480
Speaker 9: looking in that might not be totally fair. But that's

631
00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:04,200
Speaker 9: the kind of guy you want to put up on

632
00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:06,360
Speaker 9: the screen the day after a game and say, look,

633
00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:08,880
Speaker 9: this is this is how this game can go. This

634
00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:10,840
Speaker 9: is the type of tone we want to set, the

635
00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:13,480
Speaker 9: celebration we want to have of the game. Why don't

636
00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:15,840
Speaker 9: we all implement this, find a way to reset during

637
00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:18,040
Speaker 9: these few days and then come back and play like

638
00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:19,960
Speaker 9: this dude number twenty eight stud.

639
00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:22,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, I thought so too. That's that's what a special

640
00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:24,240
Speaker 1: teams guy can do. It's not just about making the

641
00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:26,640
Speaker 1: tackle or it's about playing with an edge and some

642
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:30,840
Speaker 1: grit and some aggression and you know, the whole every

643
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:32,920
Speaker 1: word you can use, just turning it up a notch

644
00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:37,760
Speaker 1: where you get noticed for that, and that's what makes

645
00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:40,480
Speaker 1: other guys want to do that too, And it's you know,

646
00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:41,920
Speaker 1: that's leadership.

647
00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:44,600
Speaker 9: Without a doubt. And I think when you saw that

648
00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:47,840
Speaker 9: huge block, you see the offense coming on the field,

649
00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:49,880
Speaker 9: I think in the fourth quarter, you see the offensive

650
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:52,880
Speaker 9: lineman all going giving them Now you know, dabs knucks

651
00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:54,400
Speaker 9: that that sets the tone.

652
00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:54,560
Speaker 8: Man.

653
00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:57,040
Speaker 9: I mean as an offense or defensive guy, you're watching

654
00:33:57,560 --> 00:34:00,560
Speaker 9: the kickoff, whatever Special teams is on, you're looking for

655
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:03,160
Speaker 9: that tone set. That is one of those things that

656
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:04,959
Speaker 9: when you're running on the field and the boys are

657
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:07,640
Speaker 9: fired up and they're giddy and they're they're hooting and

658
00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:10,359
Speaker 9: hollering with each other, it's just feeding that energy, right,

659
00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:12,719
Speaker 9: and that permeates even if you're not on the same

660
00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:15,440
Speaker 9: side of the ball. Special teams. I find that that

661
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:19,360
Speaker 9: special teams unit sets the tone for most everything that

662
00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:23,560
Speaker 9: you do. And it's maybe the most overlooked assignments, execution

663
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:26,920
Speaker 9: and one of those things some similar offensive line play.

664
00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:29,680
Speaker 9: You don't really notice it until someone messes up. But

665
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:32,080
Speaker 9: I just love the way that dude played. Man, it

666
00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:32,960
Speaker 9: was so much fun.

667
00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:37,080
Speaker 1: Give me an idea too, that we've seen this the

668
00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:40,840
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks where it just seems like the bills,

669
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:43,719
Speaker 1: for lack of a better way to put it, they're

670
00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:45,800
Speaker 1: not buttoned up. You got guys lining up off sides.

671
00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:48,279
Speaker 1: You got you know, that kind of thing going on.

672
00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:52,040
Speaker 1: You can't Josh has failed to execute a handoff on

673
00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:54,359
Speaker 1: the end around. And I'm sure there's stuff in other

674
00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:56,360
Speaker 1: areas of the game that aren't quite as self evident.

675
00:34:56,880 --> 00:35:00,239
Speaker 1: What is you know, what is a course for this

676
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:04,560
Speaker 1: club in the coming ten or twelve days or fourteen days?

677
00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:08,719
Speaker 1: You know, like, okay, we got to mind our business here.

678
00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:13,480
Speaker 9: Yeah, I think minding your business as well said right,

679
00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:16,799
Speaker 9: and minding your business takes many different facets. Of course,

680
00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:18,680
Speaker 9: it comes down to the players. How could I have

681
00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:20,800
Speaker 9: executed this game plan better? How could I have done that?

682
00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:23,920
Speaker 9: So on and so forth and technique. But these bye weeks,

683
00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:26,800
Speaker 9: what you don't see behind the scenes is these coaches

684
00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:29,959
Speaker 9: might take one day give themselves one good night of sleep.

685
00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:31,920
Speaker 9: For coaches, that's about seven hours of sleep is a

686
00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:34,360
Speaker 9: good night of sleep. And then they self scout like

687
00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:36,799
Speaker 9: you would not believe. They go through every single rep

688
00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:39,680
Speaker 9: of every single game. They go through tendencies, they go

689
00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:42,680
Speaker 9: through this. You know, the analytics department comes in and

690
00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:45,240
Speaker 9: they just see what has been working, what's not been working.

691
00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:48,560
Speaker 9: Why is the things that aren't working not working? And

692
00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:51,440
Speaker 9: then that way you have a game plan, a paper,

693
00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:53,480
Speaker 9: you can put it, a tangible thing you can give

694
00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:55,719
Speaker 9: these players and say, listen, this is the things we

695
00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:58,560
Speaker 9: have been doing well, so let's keep that going. But

696
00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:01,160
Speaker 9: here are the things that aren't going well. But now

697
00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:03,880
Speaker 9: we haven't. Here's the script here it is, let's go

698
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:05,920
Speaker 9: execute that non practicing in games.

699
00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:10,560
Speaker 2: All right? Second half, Bill's offense comes out and they

700
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:13,479
Speaker 2: go twenty two personnel pretty much all the way down

701
00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:15,640
Speaker 2: the field and put seven on the board.

702
00:36:15,719 --> 00:36:19,160
Speaker 9: You like that, Yeah, I did, Chris. This is another

703
00:36:19,239 --> 00:36:22,040
Speaker 9: thing that this team just keeps doing, which is executing

704
00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:25,800
Speaker 9: after halftime. You have a nine play drive where you

705
00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:29,360
Speaker 9: don't even have a third down, right, that's so unique.

706
00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:32,320
Speaker 9: You have these big chunks on first convertible seconds and

707
00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:36,120
Speaker 9: then you have that big sixteen yard catch and run

708
00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:39,320
Speaker 9: for a touchdown. It's just everything you want. It's the execution.

709
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:43,120
Speaker 9: There's no negative plays, no net zero plays, and it

710
00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:46,960
Speaker 9: just shows that this team is poison. Make those adjustments right,

711
00:36:47,080 --> 00:36:49,880
Speaker 9: so you want to see those implemented early on in

712
00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:51,239
Speaker 9: the game and then go from there.

713
00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:55,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, it did seem to key around a strong running

714
00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:58,120
Speaker 1: game and then even the play action that turned you know,

715
00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:02,239
Speaker 1: Ray Davis loose to get into the end zone. Give

716
00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:04,320
Speaker 1: us an idea of what the mentality is. And I

717
00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:06,680
Speaker 1: get it, you can't do the same play and the

718
00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:09,880
Speaker 1: same thing everyone, But what happens and what kind of

719
00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:13,240
Speaker 1: adjustments do you expect from a defense that you're facing,

720
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:15,799
Speaker 1: you know, kind of counter they get into that they're

721
00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:17,160
Speaker 1: going to do this. So we're going to do this,

722
00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:19,040
Speaker 1: and we did this in the first drive of the

723
00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:21,239
Speaker 1: second half. What's going to happen next? Give us an

724
00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:23,680
Speaker 1: idea of those conversations of what you expect after a

725
00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:27,560
Speaker 1: drive that the Bills put together like that, what's the

726
00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:28,160
Speaker 1: next step?

727
00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:33,319
Speaker 9: Well, I think that really good teams, which the Bills are,

728
00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:38,200
Speaker 9: the players are just as upfront with coaches as coaches

729
00:37:38,239 --> 00:37:39,920
Speaker 9: are with players. In regards to what they think is

730
00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:42,120
Speaker 9: going to work, what they see, what the some of

731
00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:44,520
Speaker 9: the difficulties are having. I thought one thing that the

732
00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:47,399
Speaker 9: Falcons did very well, especially in the run game early,

733
00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:50,239
Speaker 9: was these line stunts and movements or going from a

734
00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:53,400
Speaker 9: sub front to a base front kind of making you

735
00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:57,280
Speaker 9: have those late snap adjustments which can just throw timing

736
00:37:57,360 --> 00:37:59,759
Speaker 9: off a little bit. Like you said, they loaded the

737
00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:02,160
Speaker 9: box up early. And one thing that I saw this

738
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:04,000
Speaker 9: game that I hadn't seen quite a bit is getting

739
00:38:04,040 --> 00:38:06,319
Speaker 9: in that twenty two personnel and stuff. Not so much

740
00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:10,719
Speaker 9: running outside zone or bouncing duo. They're running between the

741
00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:13,320
Speaker 9: tackles and they're getting chunk yardage. And I thought that

742
00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:15,640
Speaker 9: was really nifty, and I thought that was a real

743
00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:18,120
Speaker 9: tone setting thing. A lot of stuff's thrown around with

744
00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:21,280
Speaker 9: offensive line tone setting, But when you can run between

745
00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:23,360
Speaker 9: the tackles, get these double teams going, and get your

746
00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:26,960
Speaker 9: guy an opportunity to maneuver, be patient, and then hit

747
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:28,800
Speaker 9: a hole, which James Cook might be the best in

748
00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:31,960
Speaker 9: the NFL doing, that's what you want to see. So

749
00:38:33,120 --> 00:38:36,680
Speaker 9: it's also the coaches coming out seeing like, hey, listen,

750
00:38:36,760 --> 00:38:38,319
Speaker 9: this is something we definitely thought was going to work.

751
00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:41,680
Speaker 9: They're presenting a different front that's not it. Or more importantly,

752
00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:44,440
Speaker 9: here are our protection rules. Here are the blitzes that

753
00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:46,920
Speaker 9: we've seen quite a bit. Here are just some reminders,

754
00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:50,399
Speaker 9: or you might even make protection changes like rules. Yeah, okay,

755
00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:53,719
Speaker 9: we had this rule all week. That's not applicable to

756
00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:56,000
Speaker 9: this game plan. This is the new rule that guy

757
00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:59,080
Speaker 9: that way, you guys get I thought the one thing

758
00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:02,480
Speaker 9: that the Falcons very well was they made it difficult

759
00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:05,319
Speaker 9: on for identification and stunts and they put a lot

760
00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:08,160
Speaker 9: of pressure on their running backs in that past protection.

761
00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:10,320
Speaker 9: So it's just constant communication. I know that was a

762
00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:13,439
Speaker 9: weird roundabout way of answering that, but it just comes

763
00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:15,200
Speaker 9: down to lines of communication and that.

764
00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:18,160
Speaker 2: Helps you touched on the reset here at the by,

765
00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:20,839
Speaker 2: but I want you to touch a little bit more

766
00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:24,239
Speaker 2: on what we hear Coach McDermott talk about all the time,

767
00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:28,040
Speaker 2: the player driven leadership in the locker room. You're talking

768
00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:30,880
Speaker 2: about intrinsic conversations that need to happen. And I know

769
00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:32,680
Speaker 2: the players in this locker room to a man are

770
00:39:32,719 --> 00:39:34,800
Speaker 2: going to look in the mirror. But what kind of

771
00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:38,359
Speaker 2: leaders have to step forward when maybe the standard isn't

772
00:39:38,440 --> 00:39:43,160
Speaker 2: being met from a performance standpoint to what are those

773
00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:46,920
Speaker 2: conversations sound like player to player to maybe get more

774
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:49,680
Speaker 2: out of a guy that maybe isn't playing as good

775
00:39:49,719 --> 00:39:51,000
Speaker 2: as his teammates know he can.

776
00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:54,879
Speaker 9: Sure, that's a good question. It kind of comes down

777
00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:59,800
Speaker 9: to knowing your teammate to see how he digests different

778
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:05,040
Speaker 9: information or how he gets himself fired up or gets

779
00:40:05,120 --> 00:40:08,360
Speaker 9: going right. Some guys need an ass showing. Some guys

780
00:40:08,440 --> 00:40:11,800
Speaker 9: are their harshest critics, so they just need some affirmations.

781
00:40:11,880 --> 00:40:14,120
Speaker 9: Some guys just need someone to chat with or talk

782
00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:16,640
Speaker 9: to some guys if they want. And maybe these leaders,

783
00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:19,040
Speaker 9: maybe they feel like they can't be as vocalle because

784
00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:21,200
Speaker 9: they haven't been playing the best football themselves, or they're

785
00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:23,440
Speaker 9: a little injured, or they're a little bit outside themselves.

786
00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:28,000
Speaker 9: So first things first, we want this season to go

787
00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:31,320
Speaker 9: as as beautifully as possible. Yes, we've dropped two games

788
00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:34,080
Speaker 9: before the bye week. I'm going to remove myself completely

789
00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:36,720
Speaker 9: as a player. I'm going to find at least forty

790
00:40:36,719 --> 00:40:38,680
Speaker 9: eight to seventy two hours where if I have a family,

791
00:40:39,239 --> 00:40:42,319
Speaker 9: fully invested in my family, if I have an injury, yes,

792
00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:44,200
Speaker 9: I'm in there to take care of my injury. Lick,

793
00:40:44,600 --> 00:40:46,320
Speaker 9: not lick my wounds, but take care of my wounds,

794
00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:48,359
Speaker 9: and then get out of the building so that when

795
00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:52,800
Speaker 9: it's time, because they'll start watching football that next weekend,

796
00:40:53,239 --> 00:40:55,719
Speaker 9: they'll get that itch, they'll have those thoughts again. But

797
00:40:55,840 --> 00:40:58,759
Speaker 9: you give yourself an opportunity to at least hold on

798
00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:01,239
Speaker 9: to it. Hold not slipping through your fingers because you

799
00:41:01,280 --> 00:41:05,160
Speaker 9: feel like you're you're drowning because you're just your body's shot,

800
00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:08,160
Speaker 9: or you've just been grinding at this too long through

801
00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:11,600
Speaker 9: training cam and stuff. It just give yourself a mental

802
00:41:12,080 --> 00:41:14,120
Speaker 9: kind of reprieve and that way you can be the

803
00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:18,720
Speaker 9: best leader, I mean, the best delegator, the best follower,

804
00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:21,080
Speaker 9: whatever it may be. You just have to find a

805
00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:23,440
Speaker 9: way to remove yourself so that when you make these

806
00:41:23,560 --> 00:41:26,600
Speaker 9: late game pushes, you make this late season push hopefully

807
00:41:26,640 --> 00:41:29,440
Speaker 9: into the playoffs, and you give yourself an opportunity to

808
00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:30,560
Speaker 9: not be burnt out by them.

809
00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:32,239
Speaker 1: So one of the things that has followed this team

810
00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:34,600
Speaker 1: around even since training camp is you know the injuries,

811
00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:36,319
Speaker 1: and it's a lot of them. There's hasn't been too

812
00:41:36,360 --> 00:41:39,839
Speaker 1: many catastrophic injuries. But this guy's down, that guy's down,

813
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:42,719
Speaker 1: he's back down again. Give us an idea of the

814
00:41:42,840 --> 00:41:45,719
Speaker 1: mentality and the drag it is on the total team

815
00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:48,239
Speaker 1: and even the guys that are healthy, the total mentality

816
00:41:48,280 --> 00:41:51,839
Speaker 1: of we're got to do this with you know, now

817
00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:54,120
Speaker 1: he's heard, Now this guy's we don't have all our

818
00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:55,840
Speaker 1: best players. We're gonna have to play this. And you

819
00:41:55,880 --> 00:41:58,400
Speaker 1: give us an idea of the mentality and the drag

820
00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:02,360
Speaker 1: that this injury list has as you go forward, and

821
00:42:02,400 --> 00:42:04,680
Speaker 1: it just seems to continue and continue and continue.

822
00:42:06,320 --> 00:42:09,560
Speaker 9: Yeah, it can be a drag if you let it.

823
00:42:10,320 --> 00:42:12,160
Speaker 9: You know when you're hurt, Steve, and you know you

824
00:42:12,239 --> 00:42:16,320
Speaker 9: can attest to this. When guys are off dealing with

825
00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:18,839
Speaker 9: those injuries, whether they're on IR or a week to week.

826
00:42:18,920 --> 00:42:21,080
Speaker 9: Sometimes if you're one of those guys, you feel like

827
00:42:21,120 --> 00:42:22,960
Speaker 9: you're not part of the team because you're not connecting

828
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:26,279
Speaker 9: with the guys. And that's not the case, right, You're

829
00:42:26,320 --> 00:42:30,040
Speaker 9: just so usually guys are so enthralled with the process

830
00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:34,200
Speaker 9: of what that day entails, what's going on that you

831
00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:36,600
Speaker 9: really like, Okay, Dalton Kinkaid's out, all right, Well, then

832
00:42:36,719 --> 00:42:38,680
Speaker 9: let's let's not worry about that because we can't focus

833
00:42:38,760 --> 00:42:42,319
Speaker 9: on that. But what does kind of I would say,

834
00:42:42,400 --> 00:42:44,600
Speaker 9: snowball a little bit is when you're one of those

835
00:42:44,680 --> 00:42:46,960
Speaker 9: leaders and you're one of those guys and you're getting

836
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:50,000
Speaker 9: these injuries and it's nagging you and you're not yourself,

837
00:42:50,080 --> 00:42:51,480
Speaker 9: You're not the player you know you want to be

838
00:42:51,760 --> 00:42:55,040
Speaker 9: in that way, you can't, you know, relieve the way

839
00:42:55,080 --> 00:42:58,279
Speaker 9: you think you should. So yeah, I feel like it

840
00:42:58,440 --> 00:43:00,960
Speaker 9: is kind of a strange injury bug. This team's God.

841
00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:03,919
Speaker 9: I don't know if it's totally unavoidable, but he gives

842
00:43:03,960 --> 00:43:06,520
Speaker 9: you an opportunity this week just to at least catch

843
00:43:06,560 --> 00:43:09,000
Speaker 9: your breath, have a game plan, and you're not scrambling,

844
00:43:09,160 --> 00:43:10,960
Speaker 9: especially on a short week after a Monday, to keep

845
00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:11,880
Speaker 9: guys out on Sunday.

846
00:43:12,560 --> 00:43:14,840
Speaker 2: Mitch, thanks for the time. As always, we appreciate it.

847
00:43:15,040 --> 00:43:18,360
Speaker 2: That is from the armchair presented by Raymore and flannag

848
00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:21,239
Speaker 2: In with Mitch Morse and a little bit of a

849
00:43:21,280 --> 00:43:24,640
Speaker 2: silver lining here. Coming out of the by the Bills

850
00:43:24,640 --> 00:43:28,480
Speaker 2: are eight and oh under Sean McDermott. So they'll be

851
00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:32,120
Speaker 2: on the road at Carolina in week eight coming off

852
00:43:32,480 --> 00:43:34,200
Speaker 2: the bye. Gotta take a break here, more of your

853
00:43:34,200 --> 00:43:36,600
Speaker 2: phone calls when we return on a Buffalo Football Tuesday.

854
00:43:36,640 --> 00:43:53,359
Speaker 2: Here on One Bill's Life said matter are presented by

855
00:43:53,400 --> 00:43:55,759
Speaker 2: the New York Lottery Bill's side and Dawson Knox caught

856
00:43:55,760 --> 00:43:58,280
Speaker 2: his first touchdown of the season, twenty fourth career touchdown

857
00:43:58,280 --> 00:44:02,160
Speaker 2: against the Falcons. Knox needs receiving touchdown to move into

858
00:44:02,239 --> 00:44:05,760
Speaker 2: the top ten in team history. The Bills five receiving

859
00:44:05,840 --> 00:44:08,680
Speaker 2: touchdowns by tight ends this season are tied for the

860
00:44:08,719 --> 00:44:12,320
Speaker 2: most of the NFL with the forty nine Ers and Eagles.

861
00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:14,160
Speaker 2: Got your lucky jersey on? Then head to a New

862
00:44:14,239 --> 00:44:16,839
Speaker 2: York lottery retailer and play today. Who knows today could

865
00:44:23,200 --> 00:44:24,840
Speaker 2: Let's get right back to the phones at eight h

866
00:44:24,880 --> 00:44:27,359
Speaker 2: three h five point fifty and we go to John

867
00:44:27,480 --> 00:44:28,839
Speaker 2: and Amherst next, what's up John?

868
00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:34,520
Speaker 10: Hi, guys, kind of hard to be objective after a

869
00:44:34,640 --> 00:44:37,200
Speaker 10: loss or frustrations and emotions are high, but I'll do

870
00:44:37,280 --> 00:44:43,200
Speaker 10: the best I can. So I've formulated an opinion. And

871
00:44:43,320 --> 00:44:47,480
Speaker 10: it may sound obvious, but to me, it's pretty clear.

872
00:44:48,400 --> 00:44:51,080
Speaker 10: The defense, it really doesn't matter how the defense plays.

873
00:44:53,440 --> 00:44:56,440
Speaker 10: They play well at times and they don't at other times.

874
00:44:57,120 --> 00:45:01,160
Speaker 10: And certainly they have a lot of injuries to reduce

875
00:45:01,200 --> 00:45:06,440
Speaker 10: their effectiveness. But my theory is that when the offense,

876
00:45:07,160 --> 00:45:10,880
Speaker 10: which is the strong suit on our team has been

877
00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:14,800
Speaker 10: for some time, does not play well for whatever reason,

878
00:45:15,960 --> 00:45:19,040
Speaker 10: they're going to lose, and for that reason, because the

879
00:45:19,120 --> 00:45:22,480
Speaker 10: defense can't pull games out for them, in my opinion,

880
00:45:23,200 --> 00:45:28,279
Speaker 10: So for that reason, I think they're in pretty big

881
00:45:28,400 --> 00:45:31,200
Speaker 10: trouble in terms of where they stand and what they

882
00:45:31,280 --> 00:45:35,000
Speaker 10: have left to play. At the beginning of the season,

883
00:45:35,080 --> 00:45:38,239
Speaker 10: I had them going ten and seven, and I think

884
00:45:38,360 --> 00:45:40,880
Speaker 10: that's and I may have been a little over zealous

885
00:45:41,400 --> 00:45:46,040
Speaker 10: in my prediction hoping they do better. I honestly believe

886
00:45:46,080 --> 00:45:48,160
Speaker 10: that that's probably where they're going to end up, and

887
00:45:48,200 --> 00:45:50,239
Speaker 10: they're going to be in a real dog fight to

888
00:45:50,360 --> 00:45:53,680
Speaker 10: make the playoffs. That's where I think they're headed. The

889
00:45:53,840 --> 00:45:57,040
Speaker 10: last thing I want to mention is I think the

890
00:45:57,120 --> 00:46:01,000
Speaker 10: Matt Mulano project is over. The guy can't stay in

891
00:46:01,080 --> 00:46:03,319
Speaker 10: the field for more than three or four games at

892
00:46:03,360 --> 00:46:06,680
Speaker 10: a time. I love him when he's out there, but

893
00:46:06,800 --> 00:46:10,479
Speaker 10: he's injury prone, and sometimes players are just injury prone.

894
00:46:10,520 --> 00:46:14,440
Speaker 10: It's just there's nothing to say about it. And I

895
00:46:14,560 --> 00:46:17,920
Speaker 10: think what they need to do in the offseason is

896
00:46:18,040 --> 00:46:22,400
Speaker 10: make some tough decisions to say, do we stick with

897
00:46:22,920 --> 00:46:27,400
Speaker 10: Matt Milano or do we try to bolster our linebacker

898
00:46:27,520 --> 00:46:33,320
Speaker 10: corps through free agency or you know, top picks. Anyway,

899
00:46:33,360 --> 00:46:34,480
Speaker 10: I'll hang up and listen to you.

900
00:46:34,680 --> 00:46:38,080
Speaker 2: Thank you very much, Thanks John, I mean Milano. Yes,

901
00:46:38,200 --> 00:46:40,560
Speaker 2: it's unfortunate. He's been banged up each of the last

902
00:46:40,600 --> 00:46:44,440
Speaker 2: three years and can't get through a full season healthy. Now,

903
00:46:44,600 --> 00:46:48,919
Speaker 2: in case you were unaware of this, John, they restructured

904
00:46:48,960 --> 00:46:52,239
Speaker 2: his contract and he will be a free agent at

905
00:46:52,280 --> 00:46:55,160
Speaker 2: the end of this year. So his contract is up.

906
00:46:55,320 --> 00:46:59,680
Speaker 2: So the decision that you're talking about may already be

907
00:46:59,800 --> 00:47:01,879
Speaker 2: made by the time we get to next spring. We'll

908
00:47:01,920 --> 00:47:03,320
Speaker 2: have to wait and see how the rest of the

909
00:47:03,400 --> 00:47:06,080
Speaker 2: season plays out. I think we're all hoping that Mat

910
00:47:06,080 --> 00:47:08,920
Speaker 2: can get back in the lineup and finish up, especially

911
00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:11,480
Speaker 2: after he got back last year, and help this team

912
00:47:11,520 --> 00:47:14,960
Speaker 2: in the playoffs. You know, I still remember him running

913
00:47:14,960 --> 00:47:18,120
Speaker 2: down bow Nicks out in the flat and sacking him

914
00:47:18,320 --> 00:47:23,239
Speaker 2: to bow Nix's surprise. That's the Matt Mallana we want

915
00:47:23,320 --> 00:47:25,719
Speaker 2: back in the lineup. But I understand why you think

916
00:47:26,200 --> 00:47:26,879
Speaker 2: it can't happen.

917
00:47:27,400 --> 00:47:29,959
Speaker 1: Yeah, I kind of disagree with you too. Defense does matter.

918
00:47:30,320 --> 00:47:32,839
Speaker 1: They gotta play. You can't just say, ah, well, our

919
00:47:32,880 --> 00:47:34,920
Speaker 1: defense we're not. You got to expect something from them,

920
00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:38,440
Speaker 1: and they got to stop doing it to themselves by

921
00:47:38,480 --> 00:47:40,800
Speaker 1: lining up off sides, missing tackles, that kind of stuff.

922
00:47:40,840 --> 00:47:43,320
Speaker 1: They can play better with the guys they've got Malona.

923
00:47:43,360 --> 00:47:46,000
Speaker 1: We're notice Milana's here for the season. I mean, that's

924
00:47:46,040 --> 00:47:48,480
Speaker 1: not gonna change. Just hope that he can get out

925
00:47:48,480 --> 00:47:54,360
Speaker 1: there and stay healthy. Yeah, so I'm some of what

926
00:47:54,480 --> 00:47:56,200
Speaker 1: you said. Yeah, I'll go along with U.

927
00:47:56,800 --> 00:48:00,919
Speaker 2: But you any defense, you can't wait this league without

928
00:48:01,640 --> 00:48:04,600
Speaker 2: some defense does matter. So it might not have to

929
00:48:04,640 --> 00:48:06,480
Speaker 2: be a top five defense, but you have to play

930
00:48:06,800 --> 00:48:07,400
Speaker 2: good defense.

931
00:48:07,480 --> 00:48:08,080
Speaker 1: It does matter.

932
00:48:08,840 --> 00:48:11,040
Speaker 2: Gotta take a break here when we come back. Our

933
00:48:11,160 --> 00:48:13,439

Speaker 2: Help all right here we are our number two on

940
00:49:04,800 --> 00:49:07,560
Speaker 2: a Buffalo Football Tuesday. Chris brown Steed's asked with you

941
00:49:07,760 --> 00:49:10,680
Speaker 2: and I'm going to be joined now by ESPN NFL

942
00:49:10,719 --> 00:49:13,440
Speaker 2: analyst Dan Orlofski, whose appearances on One Bills Live are

943
00:49:13,440 --> 00:49:16,800
Speaker 2: presented by Caesar Sportsbook and official mobile sports betting partner

944
00:49:16,800 --> 00:49:19,400
Speaker 2: of the Buffalo Bills. And Dan was in the building

945
00:49:19,520 --> 00:49:22,439
Speaker 2: last night calling the game for ESPN with Lewis Ridick

946
00:49:22,600 --> 00:49:25,719
Speaker 2: Chris Vallor. And you know, when we talked to you

947
00:49:25,840 --> 00:49:30,320
Speaker 2: last week, Dan, we expressed some concern about the individual

948
00:49:30,440 --> 00:49:35,400
Speaker 2: matchups that Atlanta could put on the field offensively, and

949
00:49:35,640 --> 00:49:39,279
Speaker 2: they were a monumental problem in the first half. The

950
00:49:39,400 --> 00:49:41,440
Speaker 2: defense for the Bills did kind of curtail things in

951
00:49:41,520 --> 00:49:43,960
Speaker 2: the second half, but man, it was a major problem

952
00:49:44,000 --> 00:49:45,440
Speaker 2: in the first half and took a while for the

953
00:49:45,520 --> 00:49:46,280
Speaker 2: Bills to adjust.

954
00:49:47,440 --> 00:49:49,759
Speaker 11: Yeah, really from first play the game, you know, and

955
00:49:50,560 --> 00:49:54,000
Speaker 11: it's that first play of the game, Conda tells the

956
00:49:54,120 --> 00:49:56,840
Speaker 11: story of the night. It also kinda tells the story

957
00:49:56,880 --> 00:49:59,239
Speaker 11: of the last two or three weeks or so. You know.

958
00:49:59,400 --> 00:50:03,520
Speaker 11: They Atlanta comes out and Vijon rips off I don't

959
00:50:03,560 --> 00:50:05,480
Speaker 11: know what would have been an eight or ten yard run,

960
00:50:06,239 --> 00:50:09,920
Speaker 11: and the ballpops out and it's it's recovered by Buffalo,

961
00:50:10,560 --> 00:50:10,799
Speaker 11: and so.

962
00:50:10,920 --> 00:50:12,279
Speaker 12: On one part you're like, there it is.

963
00:50:12,400 --> 00:50:15,799
Speaker 11: There's the takeaway that has kind of avoided the team

964
00:50:15,880 --> 00:50:19,320
Speaker 11: recently defensively, but they line up off sides, so the

965
00:50:19,440 --> 00:50:22,799
Speaker 11: penalty shows itself. I think they had eight or nine

966
00:50:22,840 --> 00:50:25,480
Speaker 11: of them last night. So that again was something that

967
00:50:26,200 --> 00:50:28,480
Speaker 11: was a you know, an issue for their football team

968
00:50:28,520 --> 00:50:31,560
Speaker 11: last night. But also it was the foreshadowing in the

969
00:50:31,640 --> 00:50:35,880
Speaker 11: precursor of Atlanta's ability to run the football and willingness

970
00:50:35,920 --> 00:50:38,360
Speaker 11: to run the football last night. And so, you know,

971
00:50:38,560 --> 00:50:41,920
Speaker 11: just early on in that game, they really struggled with

972
00:50:43,200 --> 00:50:46,359
Speaker 11: you know, being really gap sound defensively in the run game,

973
00:50:47,760 --> 00:50:52,040
Speaker 11: shedding blocks and getting off blocks and not allowing you know,

974
00:50:52,120 --> 00:50:55,520
Speaker 11: they got very much so at the defensive line expanded.

975
00:50:55,680 --> 00:50:58,520
Speaker 11: You know, they they were stretched so much sideline to

976
00:50:58,640 --> 00:51:01,920
Speaker 11: sideline that they're those big seams. Now, Atlanta did a

977
00:51:02,000 --> 00:51:04,080
Speaker 11: nice job of running towards the safety a lot, and

978
00:51:04,120 --> 00:51:06,000
Speaker 11: that safety's taken on offensive linemen.

979
00:51:06,120 --> 00:51:06,960
Speaker 12: That's not a good thing.

980
00:51:08,080 --> 00:51:12,400
Speaker 11: But it was a very impressive performance by Atlanta's run

981
00:51:12,480 --> 00:51:14,960
Speaker 11: game early on, and even their pass game, you know,

982
00:51:15,040 --> 00:51:18,719
Speaker 11: attacking some of the zone coverages and whatnot. And you know,

983
00:51:18,920 --> 00:51:20,680
Speaker 11: that was the fear going into it if you were

984
00:51:20,680 --> 00:51:24,000
Speaker 11: a Bills fan is realizing how talented Atlanta was offensively

985
00:51:24,040 --> 00:51:25,080
Speaker 11: and if they got out of their.

986
00:51:25,000 --> 00:51:28,000
Speaker 12: Own way in many ways that they were the team.

987
00:51:27,960 --> 00:51:31,400
Speaker 11: At least unit wise, that had the advantage. And you know,

988
00:51:31,600 --> 00:51:33,640
Speaker 11: very much in the first half dominated Buffalo.

989
00:51:33,960 --> 00:51:36,120
Speaker 1: Give us an idea of kind of articulate what you

990
00:51:36,280 --> 00:51:39,439
Speaker 1: can discern about Buffalo's defensive game plan against a team

991
00:51:39,560 --> 00:51:41,680
Speaker 1: like Atlanta. You knew Bjon Robinson is going to be

992
00:51:41,719 --> 00:51:46,319
Speaker 1: the centerpiece. How what was Buffalo's plan going in zone?

993
00:51:46,400 --> 00:51:46,560
Speaker 8: Man?

994
00:51:47,160 --> 00:51:49,240
Speaker 1: You know, pressure not pressure.

995
00:51:50,400 --> 00:51:51,720
Speaker 12: Yeah, not much pressure.

996
00:51:51,840 --> 00:51:56,520
Speaker 11: So early on it was their traditional zone defense, and

997
00:51:56,600 --> 00:51:59,560
Speaker 11: they were trying to drop down that safety late to

998
00:51:59,560 --> 00:52:01,560
Speaker 11: get him in to the box. And you know, when

999
00:52:01,560 --> 00:52:05,000
Speaker 11: you're Atlanta, you're in many ways you're trying to have

1000
00:52:05,200 --> 00:52:09,520
Speaker 11: those cans or check with mes and they're not necessarily

1001
00:52:10,280 --> 00:52:14,040
Speaker 11: going past to run or run the pass. They're a

1002
00:52:14,080 --> 00:52:16,319
Speaker 11: little bit more of which way they want to run,

1003
00:52:16,480 --> 00:52:19,320
Speaker 11: and they always wanted to run towards that week safety,

1004
00:52:19,480 --> 00:52:20,840
Speaker 11: and so their outside.

1005
00:52:20,520 --> 00:52:22,600
Speaker 12: Zone was going to the week safety.

1006
00:52:22,640 --> 00:52:24,760
Speaker 11: If if you look at a lot of their big runs,

1007
00:52:25,320 --> 00:52:28,239
Speaker 11: it's when the safety was dropping down and they were

1008
00:52:28,280 --> 00:52:31,919
Speaker 11: getting their offensive linemen blocking a safety. Again, big people

1009
00:52:31,960 --> 00:52:34,399
Speaker 11: beat up little people, and so I think they were

1010
00:52:34,440 --> 00:52:36,840
Speaker 11: trying to figure out Buffalo defensively.

1011
00:52:36,440 --> 00:52:37,200
Speaker 12: What was gonna work.

1012
00:52:37,520 --> 00:52:40,040
Speaker 11: There was also the reality and these aren't excuses, they're

1013
00:52:40,200 --> 00:52:44,400
Speaker 11: just real is deaik One goes down pregame, So okay,

1014
00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:48,680
Speaker 11: you get one starter back, a starter goes away. Bernard

1015
00:52:48,800 --> 00:52:51,400
Speaker 11: got banged up relatively early in the game, and so

1016
00:52:52,080 --> 00:52:55,040
Speaker 11: you're playing with a couple different pieces specifically in your

1017
00:52:55,080 --> 00:52:57,359
Speaker 11: run game that maybe, you know, I don't know if

1018
00:52:57,480 --> 00:53:00,200
Speaker 11: if Milano's in there, are they asking Milano to be

1019
00:53:00,320 --> 00:53:02,640
Speaker 11: the guy that fits the run backside more so than

1020
00:53:02,680 --> 00:53:06,440
Speaker 11: the backside safety, And so there was a little bit

1021
00:53:06,560 --> 00:53:11,360
Speaker 11: of personnel disadvantage for Buffalo, And so I think they

1022
00:53:11,440 --> 00:53:14,040
Speaker 11: got better after half, you know, Sean McDermott. At half,

1023
00:53:14,800 --> 00:53:16,359
Speaker 11: you know, they said they got to be a lot

1024
00:53:16,440 --> 00:53:18,719
Speaker 11: better in the gaps, and so they were, and a

1025
00:53:18,800 --> 00:53:20,799
Speaker 11: lot a lot of those runs that they stopped were

1026
00:53:20,840 --> 00:53:23,279
Speaker 11: really good at like hey, hold it front side and

1027
00:53:23,440 --> 00:53:26,360
Speaker 11: get through backside. They played a lot more man, you

1028
00:53:26,440 --> 00:53:28,680
Speaker 11: know that. I thought their men coverage actually held up

1029
00:53:28,719 --> 00:53:31,920
Speaker 11: pretty well, their zone got ate up pretty good, and

1030
00:53:32,040 --> 00:53:35,280
Speaker 11: so I thought the adjustments, you know, were definitely something

1031
00:53:35,360 --> 00:53:38,000
Speaker 11: to if you're find trying to find silver lining to

1032
00:53:38,040 --> 00:53:38,719
Speaker 11: pay attention to.

1033
00:53:39,480 --> 00:53:43,120
Speaker 2: How do they Is it just because we've talked about this, Dan,

1034
00:53:43,320 --> 00:53:48,480
Speaker 2: it just seems as though the defensive staff is hamstrung

1035
00:53:48,600 --> 00:53:52,120
Speaker 2: by being so short on manpower. I mean, think about

1036
00:53:52,120 --> 00:53:56,000
Speaker 2: their their draft class alone. They draft two corners, both

1037
00:53:56,040 --> 00:53:58,200
Speaker 2: of them are on IR Like they're not even a

1038
00:53:58,239 --> 00:54:01,719
Speaker 2: part of the equation. They're not getting experience because they're hurt.

1039
00:54:01,840 --> 00:54:04,960
Speaker 2: And then TJ. Sanders, their second round pick, is on IR. Now,

1040
00:54:05,120 --> 00:54:08,000
Speaker 2: like that's three of their draft choices. They can't even

1041
00:54:08,000 --> 00:54:09,960
Speaker 2: get on the field because they're hurt. And then you know,

1042
00:54:10,120 --> 00:54:12,760
Speaker 2: to your point, they lose Daikwon, they don't have Milano,

1043
00:54:14,080 --> 00:54:16,040
Speaker 2: you know, and they lose more guys last night. It's

1044
00:54:16,120 --> 00:54:18,160
Speaker 2: just I don't know, it just seems like an avalanche

1045
00:54:18,200 --> 00:54:21,080
Speaker 2: of injuries. How much does that handcuff a play caller?

1046
00:54:22,040 --> 00:54:23,920
Speaker 12: Yeah, a lot. You know, we saw it on the

1047
00:54:23,960 --> 00:54:25,359
Speaker 12: offensive side last night as well.

1048
00:54:25,440 --> 00:54:29,200
Speaker 11: And if you were just taking the non emotional step

1049
00:54:29,320 --> 00:54:34,640
Speaker 11: back and unbiased, biased fan not fan, there is the

1050
00:54:34,760 --> 00:54:38,239
Speaker 11: reality that every team deals with injuries and that is

1051
00:54:38,400 --> 00:54:41,800
Speaker 11: next men up, and yes, that is absolutely fair. But

1052
00:54:42,000 --> 00:54:44,399
Speaker 11: when you have a first and second round draft pick

1053
00:54:44,920 --> 00:54:48,359
Speaker 11: that hasn't really played or have not really played well.

1054
00:54:48,600 --> 00:54:51,320
Speaker 12: Do they impact your defense a lot? Do they impact

1055
00:54:51,360 --> 00:54:54,239
Speaker 12: your defense a little bit? Are they are they?

1056
00:54:54,640 --> 00:54:54,800
Speaker 2: You know?

1057
00:54:55,239 --> 00:54:59,439
Speaker 11: Is Harriston a lockdown corner? Does that allow a little

1058
00:54:59,440 --> 00:55:03,360
Speaker 11: bit more freedom in the secondary? Is Sanders a dominant

1059
00:55:03,480 --> 00:55:05,160
Speaker 11: run stopping defensive tackle?

1060
00:55:05,360 --> 00:55:06,120
Speaker 2: Is he? You know?

1061
00:55:06,239 --> 00:55:09,239
Speaker 12: So you just don't know exactly where you are.

1062
00:55:09,600 --> 00:55:12,240
Speaker 11: As a defense without those two guys, and then Milano

1063
00:55:12,360 --> 00:55:16,120
Speaker 11: and then Torell going down, So you know my takeaway

1064
00:55:16,200 --> 00:55:19,080
Speaker 11: as a whole, I think they're down eight starters five

1065
00:55:19,160 --> 00:55:22,880
Speaker 11: minutes into the game last night. So we can be

1066
00:55:23,680 --> 00:55:27,480
Speaker 11: we can be objective and real and say, Okay, yes,

1067
00:55:27,800 --> 00:55:30,839
Speaker 11: you're concerned that the defense has given up so many

1068
00:55:30,920 --> 00:55:35,239
Speaker 11: explosive runs. Do those missing pieces make you feel that

1069
00:55:35,360 --> 00:55:40,120
Speaker 11: that will be minimized? Yes, a known if we're being

1070
00:55:40,640 --> 00:55:43,920
Speaker 11: completely honest, the coaching staff probably has a better idea.

1071
00:55:45,239 --> 00:55:47,000
Speaker 12: And then I think we saw it offensively as well.

1072
00:55:47,040 --> 00:55:49,720
Speaker 11: Where you're I said it during the broadcast, Joe Brady's

1073
00:55:49,719 --> 00:55:51,800
Speaker 11: looking at his call sheet going, Okay, how many plays

1074
00:55:51,880 --> 00:55:53,879
Speaker 11: can I run with two tight ends and a full

1075
00:55:53,960 --> 00:55:56,040
Speaker 11: back on the field, Because that's kind of what it

1076
00:55:56,160 --> 00:55:57,160
Speaker 11: became for them.

1077
00:55:57,239 --> 00:56:00,640
Speaker 1: Offensively, Yeah, offensively the Bills, you know, they struggle to protect.

1078
00:56:01,400 --> 00:56:03,920
Speaker 1: Certainly it was the plan of Atlanta have sent some pressure,

1079
00:56:04,520 --> 00:56:06,600
Speaker 1: uh and cover them up in the back end. What

1080
00:56:06,880 --> 00:56:09,680
Speaker 1: was what were your thoughts about how Buffalo's offense strugg

1081
00:56:09,840 --> 00:56:12,000
Speaker 1: you know, struggled. They came out and the first drive

1082
00:56:12,040 --> 00:56:13,839
Speaker 1: of the game, Yeah, that was good. Then they came

1083
00:56:13,880 --> 00:56:15,799
Speaker 1: out first drive of the second half, Yeah that was good.

1084
00:56:16,600 --> 00:56:18,880
Speaker 1: In between there was a lot of problems.

1085
00:56:20,239 --> 00:56:21,359
Speaker 12: Yeah, I would tell you one.

1086
00:56:21,440 --> 00:56:24,279
Speaker 11: I was really surprised at the lack of James Cook

1087
00:56:24,480 --> 00:56:28,239
Speaker 11: use and usage and touches. You know, when when it

1088
00:56:28,320 --> 00:56:34,000
Speaker 11: became obvious pregame, no Dalton, no Curtis, Josh goes down,

1089
00:56:34,640 --> 00:56:36,640
Speaker 11: all right, well who are who are best players? I

1090
00:56:36,680 --> 00:56:39,480
Speaker 11: mean they run their offense through Keincage, Shakira and Cook

1091
00:56:39,520 --> 00:56:42,279
Speaker 11: to begin with. So when one of those guys is

1092
00:56:42,400 --> 00:56:44,480
Speaker 11: in those second and third pieces aren't there, it's like,

1093
00:56:44,600 --> 00:56:47,320
Speaker 11: how many different plays can we just call for Khalil

1094
00:56:47,400 --> 00:56:51,160
Speaker 11: Shakir and James Cook? And it was odd to see

1095
00:56:52,520 --> 00:56:56,799
Speaker 11: in a situation where this team has been so disciplined

1096
00:56:57,080 --> 00:57:01,920
Speaker 11: at being committed to own the line of scrimmage and

1097
00:57:02,160 --> 00:57:04,840
Speaker 11: coming off of a game when they didn't against New England,

1098
00:57:05,800 --> 00:57:08,800
Speaker 11: really not lean into that, you know, and it became

1099
00:57:08,880 --> 00:57:11,320
Speaker 11: a little bit of a pass fest and it played

1100
00:57:11,360 --> 00:57:14,440
Speaker 11: to the advantage of Atlanta, and Atlanta just said, you know,

1101
00:57:14,520 --> 00:57:16,840
Speaker 11: after Josh's touchdown, passed to start that game in the

1102
00:57:16,920 --> 00:57:20,000
Speaker 11: first drive and he had all day Atlanta's then that's

1103
00:57:20,040 --> 00:57:20,840
Speaker 11: not happening anymore.

1104
00:57:20,880 --> 00:57:22,080
Speaker 12: We're just gonna go after him.

1105
00:57:22,640 --> 00:57:25,240
Speaker 11: And then, you know, I do think one I guess

1106
00:57:25,440 --> 00:57:29,400
Speaker 11: a disappointing takeaway is and I don't know how much,

1107
00:57:29,680 --> 00:57:34,240
Speaker 11: but it's disappointing that Keon Coleman doesn't have the opportunity

1108
00:57:34,360 --> 00:57:38,000
Speaker 11: and doesn't step up. You know, I don't I don't

1109
00:57:38,080 --> 00:57:40,880
Speaker 11: know if it was they don't believe in him. I

1110
00:57:41,000 --> 00:57:43,080
Speaker 11: don't know if he's not going to them in those

1111
00:57:43,120 --> 00:57:45,480
Speaker 11: moments saying get me the ball. I talked about it

1112
00:57:45,560 --> 00:57:48,080
Speaker 11: last night that I was surprised they weren't moving him

1113
00:57:48,120 --> 00:57:50,880
Speaker 11: opposite aj Terrell and trying to get him the football,

1114
00:57:51,240 --> 00:57:53,440
Speaker 11: throw the ball down field to him, and opportunities just

1115
00:57:53,520 --> 00:57:56,560
Speaker 11: to use his big body and frame. And I think, again,

1116
00:57:56,680 --> 00:58:00,200
Speaker 11: you're you're taking a step away offensively and going you're

1117
00:58:00,240 --> 00:58:02,600
Speaker 11: missing all those pieces. Do I think that Joe Brady

1118
00:58:02,640 --> 00:58:05,439
Speaker 11: probably got too cute at times. No doubt that third

1119
00:58:05,480 --> 00:58:08,160
Speaker 11: and one jet sweep. Don't run that you're you're too

1120
00:58:08,200 --> 00:58:09,960
Speaker 11: good of a play call, you're too good of an

1121
00:58:09,960 --> 00:58:12,520
Speaker 11: offensive line. You run bind your offensive line and say

1122
00:58:12,560 --> 00:58:14,560
Speaker 11: we're gonna run this twice. Guys, if we don't get it,

1123
00:58:14,640 --> 00:58:18,960
Speaker 11: we don't deserve to win. But I think a lot

1124
00:58:19,040 --> 00:58:21,680
Speaker 11: of the injuries are a huge part of that. But

1125
00:58:22,320 --> 00:58:24,439
Speaker 11: I'm in If I was a Bills fan, I would

1126
00:58:24,480 --> 00:58:28,400
Speaker 11: have loved to see Kean Cooeman step to the forefront

1127
00:58:28,960 --> 00:58:32,400
Speaker 11: and impact that game much, much, much more than he did.

1128
00:58:32,720 --> 00:58:35,200
Speaker 2: He was a guy Dan that was used in the

1129
00:58:35,280 --> 00:58:38,960
Speaker 2: slot at Florida State a good deal. He has been

1130
00:58:39,080 --> 00:58:41,920
Speaker 2: used inside there sparingly, and it's probably due to the

1131
00:58:41,960 --> 00:58:45,000
Speaker 2: fact that Kincaid and Shakir usually operate in those areas.

1132
00:58:45,560 --> 00:58:49,000
Speaker 2: But absent Kincaid, you know, and we don't know how

1133
00:58:49,080 --> 00:58:51,680
Speaker 2: long he may or may not be out. But is

1134
00:58:51,800 --> 00:58:56,600
Speaker 2: that something to explore? Could it facilitate him being more

1135
00:58:56,640 --> 00:58:59,480
Speaker 2: of a factor in the passing game going forward, and

1136
00:58:59,680 --> 00:59:03,800
Speaker 2: maybe just explain how it might help open up his opportunities.

1137
00:59:05,040 --> 00:59:07,880
Speaker 11: Yeah, Chris, I think it's a great point and absolutely

1138
00:59:07,920 --> 00:59:10,160
Speaker 11: should be explored. You know, one of the things that

1139
00:59:10,320 --> 00:59:12,480
Speaker 11: he was so great at as well at Florida State

1140
00:59:12,640 --> 00:59:14,320
Speaker 11: was just put the football in his hands. He was

1141
00:59:14,360 --> 00:59:17,760
Speaker 11: an elite returner, and so naturally when you're in the slot,

1142
00:59:17,840 --> 00:59:20,440
Speaker 11: you get a little bit more of the ball quickly

1143
00:59:20,560 --> 00:59:22,840
Speaker 11: because of just the space of a defense.

1144
00:59:24,120 --> 00:59:26,920
Speaker 12: There is the reality you mentioned Kinkaid Shakir.

1145
00:59:27,440 --> 00:59:29,400
Speaker 11: You want those guys in the side if it's not

1146
00:59:30,480 --> 00:59:34,080
Speaker 11: If it's not Kinkaid, does keon going down there? But

1147
00:59:34,200 --> 00:59:36,640
Speaker 11: then who goes on the outside. You know that a

1148
00:59:36,720 --> 00:59:39,640
Speaker 11: little bit is how healthy is Palmer? What's his injury?

1149
00:59:39,760 --> 00:59:42,680
Speaker 11: Off of last night? Shavers did some decent things with

1150
00:59:42,800 --> 00:59:45,480
Speaker 11: some opportunity, and so you know, I'm.

1151
00:59:45,320 --> 00:59:46,560
Speaker 12: Not pressing the panic button.

1152
00:59:46,680 --> 00:59:49,680
Speaker 11: I'm really not, but I do think moving him inside

1153
00:59:49,920 --> 00:59:52,120
Speaker 11: and just you know, maybe he's one of those guys

1154
00:59:52,200 --> 00:59:54,320
Speaker 11: that you got to get him the ball early on.

1155
00:59:54,480 --> 00:59:57,560
Speaker 11: And we talked to Joe about this because you know you,

1156
00:59:58,040 --> 01:00:01,160
Speaker 11: as a play caller, I would imagine you want to

1157
01:00:01,280 --> 01:00:04,360
Speaker 11: make sure that all those pieces are getting the ball early.

1158
01:00:04,680 --> 01:00:07,200
Speaker 11: You know, you almost want everybody to get a touch

1159
01:00:07,320 --> 01:00:10,880
Speaker 11: early so they feel like they're in the game. But

1160
01:00:11,040 --> 01:00:14,360
Speaker 11: then you want your best players to get the touches early.

1161
01:00:14,640 --> 01:00:17,000
Speaker 11: So do you live in the world where I want

1162
01:00:17,040 --> 01:00:18,880
Speaker 11: Shakir to get three touches in the you know, in

1163
01:00:18,920 --> 01:00:21,120
Speaker 11: the first quarter, but then does ke On not get one?

1164
01:00:21,200 --> 01:00:24,240
Speaker 11: And so maybe just getting key on some touches, some

1165
01:00:24,520 --> 01:00:27,000
Speaker 11: easy baked in touches a little bit like they do

1166
01:00:27,120 --> 01:00:30,280
Speaker 11: with Khalil early on in games, is something that they

1167
01:00:30,360 --> 01:00:33,840
Speaker 11: have to look into. Curtis not there. Those are usually curtises,

1168
01:00:34,080 --> 01:00:37,040
Speaker 11: So you know, I just you know, I'm not trying

1169
01:00:37,080 --> 01:00:42,040
Speaker 11: to I'm not trying to not take away from a

1170
01:00:42,320 --> 01:00:45,560
Speaker 11: poor offensive performance. But I think when you go into

1171
01:00:45,640 --> 01:00:48,360
Speaker 11: a game and you think X is the plan, and

1172
01:00:48,440 --> 01:00:50,680
Speaker 11: then the plan takes a hit pregame, and then the

1173
01:00:50,760 --> 01:00:53,280
Speaker 11: plan takes a hit in your second drive of the game,

1174
01:00:54,240 --> 01:00:57,320
Speaker 11: that that package of plays gets shrunk down big time.

1175
01:00:58,120 --> 01:01:00,960
Speaker 1: How do you handle and what's your plan? If you're

1176
01:01:01,320 --> 01:01:03,920
Speaker 1: McDermott and the coaching staff handled these bye weeks, You've

1177
01:01:04,040 --> 01:01:07,439
Speaker 1: just had two games where one you didn't play your best,

1178
01:01:07,480 --> 01:01:09,640
Speaker 1: but you still feel like you gave the game away.

1179
01:01:09,800 --> 01:01:12,080
Speaker 1: Then last night you feel like, man, you just got beat.

1180
01:01:12,560 --> 01:01:14,680
Speaker 1: That's a little different loss than it was against the

1181
01:01:14,720 --> 01:01:18,400
Speaker 1: Patriots two weeks ago. What's your plan and what's your

1182
01:01:18,440 --> 01:01:20,720
Speaker 1: attitude headed into this bye week as a coaching staff.

1183
01:01:21,600 --> 01:01:24,440
Speaker 12: Yeah, so we actually asked Sean about that in kind

1184
01:01:24,480 --> 01:01:25,160
Speaker 12: of two parts.

1185
01:01:25,320 --> 01:01:29,240
Speaker 11: Number one, coach, you know, coming off of a game

1186
01:01:29,320 --> 01:01:33,760
Speaker 11: against New England where very uncharacteristic performance, what was the

1187
01:01:33,840 --> 01:01:34,840
Speaker 11: message to the team.

1188
01:01:35,440 --> 01:01:37,880
Speaker 12: Did you make it a big deal to turnovers and penalties?

1189
01:01:38,120 --> 01:01:39,840
Speaker 12: Did you not? Did you avoid it?

1190
01:01:40,000 --> 01:01:40,240
Speaker 8: Did you?

1191
01:01:40,800 --> 01:01:42,880
Speaker 11: And he said no, no, no, like they live in truth,

1192
01:01:43,920 --> 01:01:48,080
Speaker 11: but it was something that they just process constantly, you know,

1193
01:01:48,240 --> 01:01:50,680
Speaker 11: emphasized and whatnot. They didn't run from it, but they

1194
01:01:50,720 --> 01:01:53,880
Speaker 11: didn't make it this giant mountain. Well now it's you know,

1195
01:01:54,040 --> 01:01:56,320
Speaker 11: kind of two and a half almost three games in

1196
01:01:56,400 --> 01:02:00,840
Speaker 11: a row where turnovers and penalties. So I do think

1197
01:02:00,920 --> 01:02:03,200
Speaker 11: it's probably something that you have to take a step

1198
01:02:03,280 --> 01:02:05,880
Speaker 11: back and go we were really good at these things.

1199
01:02:06,200 --> 01:02:08,800
Speaker 11: Why aren't we in the last three weeks? Thirty penalties

1200
01:02:08,840 --> 01:02:11,160
Speaker 11: in three weeks. I don't care how good you are,

1201
01:02:11,640 --> 01:02:16,400
Speaker 11: You're swimming upstream. So having the conversation as a staff

1202
01:02:16,480 --> 01:02:19,240
Speaker 11: of what's going on, why is it going on? Are

1203
01:02:19,280 --> 01:02:22,400
Speaker 11: we avoiding things in practice? Is there something that has

1204
01:02:22,440 --> 01:02:24,800
Speaker 11: to get emphasized more in practice? Because you get what

1205
01:02:24,880 --> 01:02:29,360
Speaker 11: you emphasize, and he even said to us himself, you know,

1206
01:02:29,440 --> 01:02:33,120
Speaker 11: he really believed this two week stretch starting last night,

1207
01:02:33,720 --> 01:02:34,360
Speaker 11: this week and the.

1208
01:02:34,360 --> 01:02:36,520
Speaker 12: Bye week is going to be really big for this team.

1209
01:02:36,800 --> 01:02:40,360
Speaker 11: And because the point of the two years ago, three

1210
01:02:40,440 --> 01:02:42,680
Speaker 11: years ago, last year's team is very different than this

1211
01:02:42,800 --> 01:02:45,280
Speaker 11: year's team. This is obviously a different group. And so

1212
01:02:45,840 --> 01:02:49,400
Speaker 11: how does this team handle adversity of last week's loss,

1213
01:02:49,480 --> 01:02:51,000
Speaker 11: obviously two losses.

1214
01:02:50,680 --> 01:02:51,040
Speaker 8: In a row.

1215
01:02:51,280 --> 01:02:53,200
Speaker 11: How do they handle getting punched in the mouth, How

1216
01:02:53,240 --> 01:02:55,800
Speaker 11: do they handle, you know, physically getting beat up?

1217
01:02:56,160 --> 01:02:57,360
Speaker 12: How do they handle the injuries?

1218
01:02:57,400 --> 01:02:59,440
Speaker 11: And so I think that those are two of the

1219
01:02:59,480 --> 01:03:02,080
Speaker 11: big thing is that you know, they have to figure

1220
01:03:02,120 --> 01:03:05,360
Speaker 11: out and address and you know, have long looks in

1221
01:03:05,400 --> 01:03:08,680
Speaker 11: the mirror about both as staff and plan and players.

1222
01:03:08,840 --> 01:03:12,640
Speaker 11: Is how do they you know, take these two losses,

1223
01:03:12,920 --> 01:03:15,200
Speaker 11: learn from them to really go on.

1224
01:03:15,360 --> 01:03:17,200
Speaker 12: The run that you know, a lot of people expect

1225
01:03:17,240 --> 01:03:18,640
Speaker 12: them to last one.

1226
01:03:18,720 --> 01:03:22,840
Speaker 2: For me, Dan coach McDermott and his staff harp on

1227
01:03:22,920 --> 01:03:25,960
Speaker 2: the fundamentals both verbally and in practice. I mean we

1228
01:03:26,120 --> 01:03:32,919
Speaker 2: see them preach and practice fundamentals add nauseum every single week,

1229
01:03:33,680 --> 01:03:37,600
Speaker 2: and for some reason it's not translating to the game field,

1230
01:03:38,280 --> 01:03:41,120
Speaker 2: and I'm not here to say it's not getting through

1231
01:03:41,200 --> 01:03:43,720
Speaker 2: to the players, but there's a disconnect somewhere where does

1232
01:03:43,760 --> 01:03:47,720
Speaker 2: the player driven leadership step in and maybe assist the

1233
01:03:47,800 --> 01:03:50,720
Speaker 2: coaching staff to get it through to the players that

1234
01:03:50,840 --> 01:03:54,720
Speaker 2: are not executing the all important fundamentals that has made

1235
01:03:54,760 --> 01:03:56,720
Speaker 2: this team so successful for so many years.

1236
01:03:57,840 --> 01:04:00,640
Speaker 12: Yeah, you know, Chris, I'm not there every day.

1237
01:04:00,960 --> 01:04:04,760
Speaker 11: My just takeaway of obviously following the team and being

1238
01:04:04,800 --> 01:04:06,600
Speaker 11: a part of this and calling games of the years

1239
01:04:06,720 --> 01:04:10,160
Speaker 11: is like, I would be shocked if that's not already there.

1240
01:04:10,360 --> 01:04:13,600
Speaker 11: I would be very surprised if that player led leadership,

1241
01:04:14,080 --> 01:04:16,880
Speaker 11: you know, hasn't voiced things over the past couple of weeks,

1242
01:04:16,920 --> 01:04:19,960
Speaker 11: and you know hasn't and will and won't do it

1243
01:04:20,120 --> 01:04:22,800
Speaker 11: more so in the next two weeks. You know, I

1244
01:04:22,920 --> 01:04:25,520
Speaker 11: really think this is one a unique team when it

1245
01:04:25,600 --> 01:04:28,480
Speaker 11: comes to that stuff. And so they've got so many

1246
01:04:28,600 --> 01:04:31,960
Speaker 11: veteran players and so many highly successful and accomplished guys.

1247
01:04:32,480 --> 01:04:34,520
Speaker 11: I would imagine that's already a part of the thing.

1248
01:04:34,560 --> 01:04:36,040
Speaker 1: And this is why we.

1249
01:04:36,120 --> 01:04:41,560
Speaker 11: Asked coach McDermott, and we asked Joe It and Bobby

1250
01:04:41,640 --> 01:04:44,680
Speaker 11: It was like, when it comes to these things that

1251
01:04:44,800 --> 01:04:48,640
Speaker 11: have been trademarks of your organization and it goes off

1252
01:04:48,680 --> 01:04:49,560
Speaker 11: the wheels.

1253
01:04:50,720 --> 01:04:53,760
Speaker 12: You can make it too big of a deal and

1254
01:04:53,960 --> 01:04:54,920
Speaker 12: then you could avoid it.

1255
01:04:55,200 --> 01:04:58,800
Speaker 11: And so it's that very fine line and I I'm

1256
01:04:58,840 --> 01:05:01,040
Speaker 11: not smart enough to know e exactly how to grease it,

1257
01:05:01,600 --> 01:05:06,160
Speaker 11: but it's that very fine line of addressing it and

1258
01:05:07,480 --> 01:05:10,680
Speaker 11: understating that it's it's one hundred percent their reality.

1259
01:05:10,720 --> 01:05:11,800
Speaker 12: In the last two and a half.

1260
01:05:11,680 --> 01:05:15,080
Speaker 11: Weeks or so, while also not world is ending, we

1261
01:05:15,160 --> 01:05:18,520
Speaker 11: got to change everything. Panic, Oh my gosh, season is over.

1262
01:05:19,080 --> 01:05:21,280
Speaker 11: I think that's going to be the real, you know,

1263
01:05:21,520 --> 01:05:24,720
Speaker 11: real direct challenge for that football team.

1264
01:05:25,400 --> 01:05:27,800
Speaker 2: Thanks Dan, Thanks very much for the time. We appreciate it.

1265
01:05:27,840 --> 01:05:29,480
Speaker 2: As always, we'll catch up with you next week.

1266
01:05:30,280 --> 01:05:30,760

1280

Speaker 2: And to Bob in Stockton, what's up Bob?

1283
01:06:23,240 --> 01:06:27,080
Speaker 8: Hey, guys, appreciate it. You guys have done a great

1284
01:06:27,160 --> 01:06:30,040
Speaker 8: job with her at analysis. This really covered a lot

1285
01:06:30,120 --> 01:06:33,760
Speaker 8: of what I wanted to say. I think a couple

1286
01:06:33,800 --> 01:06:38,160
Speaker 8: of bright spots any we could take. I thought Diane Walker,

1287
01:06:38,400 --> 01:06:42,200
Speaker 8: he was thrown in at the last minute. He had

1288
01:06:42,280 --> 01:06:45,520
Speaker 8: a few belief four tackles for a lot.

1289
01:06:45,640 --> 01:06:46,080
Speaker 2: Yeah he did.

1290
01:06:47,200 --> 01:06:51,080
Speaker 8: He's got bright future. I really like him. And I

1291
01:06:51,280 --> 01:06:54,680
Speaker 8: want to ask Steve on a play at home from

1292
01:06:54,720 --> 01:06:57,720
Speaker 8: our game like this, Uh, what goes on? I mean,

1293
01:06:57,960 --> 01:07:03,000
Speaker 8: the coaches already to have some conversations or the leadership

1294
01:07:03,080 --> 01:07:05,840
Speaker 8: of the players have the conversations or is everybody just

1295
01:07:06,120 --> 01:07:08,600
Speaker 8: kind of braying the decopress from the game.

1296
01:07:08,920 --> 01:07:12,800
Speaker 1: You'll have some guys like Josh, I would imagine the quarterbacks,

1297
01:07:12,880 --> 01:07:16,440
Speaker 1: the coaches. Of course, they've got surfaces in front of

1298
01:07:16,480 --> 01:07:18,640
Speaker 1: them and they're they're watching the game, they're watching the film.

1299
01:07:18,760 --> 01:07:21,480
Speaker 1: They're already breaking it down on the way home from

1300
01:07:21,520 --> 01:07:26,320
Speaker 1: the from the game. The players in the back, they

1301
01:07:26,400 --> 01:07:30,440
Speaker 1: are there. It's probably a little subdued as compared to

1302
01:07:30,520 --> 01:07:33,920
Speaker 1: other flights home. Uh for instance, if the Bills have

1303
01:07:34,040 --> 01:07:35,360
Speaker 1: been six and zer going in this by we cou

1304
01:07:35,400 --> 01:07:37,640
Speaker 1: would have been a pret roucous flight home. This one

1305
01:07:37,680 --> 01:07:40,240
Speaker 1: would probably be more subdued. And there'll be guys talking

1306
01:07:40,240 --> 01:07:43,600
Speaker 1: about the game they just finished and what went wrong

1307
01:07:43,680 --> 01:07:45,360
Speaker 1: and what they could have done wrong, what they thought

1308
01:07:45,360 --> 01:07:48,760
Speaker 1: about it. They'll have some conversations about it, no question,

1309
01:07:48,920 --> 01:07:52,439
Speaker 1: but they start breaking it up part on the flight home.

1310
01:07:55,120 --> 01:07:57,640
Speaker 1: And you know, every guy's different, every team's a little

1311
01:07:57,640 --> 01:08:01,360
Speaker 1: different from one year to the next, but that's generally speaking,

1312
01:08:01,440 --> 01:08:02,080
Speaker 1: what would happen.

1313
01:08:02,360 --> 01:08:04,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's a night game too. It's a long day.

1314
01:08:05,320 --> 01:08:06,959
Speaker 2: By the time you're getting on the plane, it's twelve

1315
01:08:07,040 --> 01:08:10,080
Speaker 2: thirty almost one am. A lot, a lot of people

1316
01:08:10,120 --> 01:08:13,440
Speaker 2: are just sacking out. Yeah to the best sleep if

1317
01:08:13,440 --> 01:08:16,320
Speaker 2: they can't to Bob and Lancaster next, what's up, Bob?

1318
01:08:17,600 --> 01:08:20,360
Speaker 5: Hey, Chris, thanks to taking me call. I've never heard

1319
01:08:20,400 --> 01:08:22,639
Speaker 5: you more right on you know, all the time I've

1320
01:08:22,720 --> 01:08:27,280
Speaker 5: been listening to the show. I had a comment about

1321
01:08:27,520 --> 01:08:32,719
Speaker 5: the use of James Cook in all the games, especially

1322
01:08:33,160 --> 01:08:36,880
Speaker 5: in this one. Almost every game when he's not carrying

1323
01:08:36,920 --> 01:08:40,040
Speaker 5: the ball and he breaks through the line, he is

1324
01:08:40,439 --> 01:08:45,000
Speaker 5: always open from from what I can see in my

1325
01:08:45,200 --> 01:08:52,240
Speaker 5: visibility on TV, said consequently, lately, and I don't know

1326
01:08:52,320 --> 01:08:55,400
Speaker 5: it's the Bill's mafia getting in the head of coaching.

1327
01:08:55,560 --> 01:08:58,840
Speaker 5: I don't know if that's even possible. There's a lot

1328
01:08:58,920 --> 01:09:04,679
Speaker 5: of throws that could definitely have been targeted with Cook

1329
01:09:06,360 --> 01:09:10,639
Speaker 5: that would take as a safety valve the pressure that's

1330
01:09:10,720 --> 01:09:14,800
Speaker 5: going on with a long kind of force, throws that

1331
01:09:14,880 --> 01:09:17,320
Speaker 5: aren't really open, and that's happened a little bit more

1332
01:09:17,320 --> 01:09:19,679
Speaker 5: in the last couple of games. So I'm just curious

1333
01:09:19,680 --> 01:09:23,519
Speaker 5: about your thoughts about Cook being used not for what

1334
01:09:23,640 --> 01:09:25,600
Speaker 5: he's really good for. In this game, he could have

1335
01:09:25,680 --> 01:09:28,120
Speaker 5: kept running every time he ran, he got the yardage,

1336
01:09:28,880 --> 01:09:32,439
Speaker 5: but him as a safety valve a little bit more

1337
01:09:32,520 --> 01:09:36,280
Speaker 5: often when it looks like downfield, it's just not open.

1338
01:09:36,560 --> 01:09:37,760
Speaker 2: All right, Thanks for the call, Bob.

1339
01:09:39,600 --> 01:09:44,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, when James releases after you know, play fake or whatever,

1340
01:09:45,320 --> 01:09:48,519
Speaker 1: that is not on the coaches or the offensive scheme

1341
01:09:48,640 --> 01:09:51,640
Speaker 1: or anything. That's on josh choosing. He picks where he

1342
01:09:51,720 --> 01:09:54,240
Speaker 1: throws the football. If he wants to take the safety

1343
01:09:54,320 --> 01:09:56,719
Speaker 1: valve with James, Cook will throw it. If he doesn't,

1344
01:09:56,800 --> 01:10:00,240
Speaker 1: he won't, and he'll see it on film. I mean

1345
01:10:00,280 --> 01:10:02,439
Speaker 1: they'll they'll watch this game over and over and if

1346
01:10:02,520 --> 01:10:05,559
Speaker 1: it's happening every game, it will soon it will become like, hey,

1347
01:10:05,960 --> 01:10:08,519
Speaker 1: just take it, just take James, that kind of thing. Uh,

1348
01:10:08,760 --> 01:10:11,479
Speaker 1: that's all on the quarterback. He chooses where he's gonna

1349
01:10:11,479 --> 01:10:13,519
Speaker 1: pull the trigger to and if he wants to go

1350
01:10:13,640 --> 01:10:16,080
Speaker 1: for the bigger throw, which Josh likes to do, sometimes

1351
01:10:16,280 --> 01:10:18,960
Speaker 1: he's gonna do that. But that's not that's not Joe Brady,

1352
01:10:19,040 --> 01:10:21,639
Speaker 1: that's not Sean McDermott, that's Josh.

1353
01:10:21,520 --> 01:10:24,160
Speaker 2: And Joe Brady's credit. Like he had James on a

1354
01:10:24,200 --> 01:10:27,800
Speaker 2: wheel route in the first half and he is wide open,

1355
01:10:27,920 --> 01:10:31,240
Speaker 2: but unfortunately the pressure gets to Joshua early and he

1356
01:10:31,520 --> 01:10:33,880
Speaker 2: never sees him backside of the play, he is wide

1357
01:10:33,920 --> 01:10:37,160
Speaker 2: open down the Atlanta sideline and Josh just doesn't have

1358
01:10:37,280 --> 01:10:38,960
Speaker 2: time to get the ball off and he's got a

1359
01:10:39,000 --> 01:10:41,240
Speaker 2: run and buy time so he doesn't get sacked drop.

1360
01:10:41,439 --> 01:10:43,639
Speaker 2: And there were a few instances like that last night,

1361
01:10:43,880 --> 01:10:45,080
Speaker 2: maybe even more than a few creats.

1362
01:10:45,120 --> 01:10:47,200
Speaker 1: They drank coverage on James, just like the Bills dropped

1363
01:10:47,240 --> 01:10:49,519
Speaker 1: it on bijon that on the wheel route down the sideline.

1364
01:10:49,560 --> 01:10:55,439
Speaker 1: I mean that happens, so yeah, yeah, but that's that's

1365
01:10:55,640 --> 01:10:58,599
Speaker 1: that's what quarterbacks do. That's that's there, that's on their plate.

1366
01:10:58,720 --> 01:11:00,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, And you gotta tip your hat to Atlanta a

1367
01:11:00,680 --> 01:11:02,400
Speaker 2: little bit here too. They're coming off of bye week

1368
01:11:02,400 --> 01:11:04,120
Speaker 2: then an extra week to prepare for the Bills. They

1369
01:11:04,160 --> 01:11:06,000
Speaker 2: had some new wrinkles that the Bills clearly had not

1370
01:11:06,160 --> 01:11:10,040
Speaker 2: seen before, and they decided, hey, look, we're the number

1371
01:11:10,080 --> 01:11:13,000
Speaker 2: one blitz percentage team in the league. We're gonna live

1372
01:11:13,040 --> 01:11:15,080
Speaker 2: and die by that and see if it works. And

1373
01:11:15,320 --> 01:11:18,400
Speaker 2: for most of the night it did. Gotta take a

1374
01:11:18,439 --> 01:11:20,320
Speaker 2: break here, more of your phone calls when we come

1375
01:11:20,400 --> 01:11:22,360
Speaker 2: back here. On One Bill's Live, presented by Collidea Health,

1376
01:11:22,400 --> 01:11:41,160
Speaker 2: It's Buffalo Bills Radio. Robinson in motion handoff to Algaeer

1377

Speaker 2: over the right side and he's wrapped up and dragged

1378
01:11:44,240 --> 01:11:47,439
Speaker 2: down as Dion Walker has made two plays in a

1379
01:11:47,600 --> 01:11:51,280
Speaker 2: row on tackles for a loss. Your Player of the

1380
01:11:51,360 --> 01:11:55,439
Speaker 2: Game is presented by high Mark Blue Cross Blue Shield.

1381
01:11:55,520 --> 01:11:58,599
Speaker 2: High Mark is the official health plan of the Buffalo

1382
01:11:58,720 --> 01:12:04,000
Speaker 2: Bills Life. Dion Walker with five tackles against the Falcons,

1383
01:12:04,040 --> 01:12:06,640
Speaker 2: four of which went for loss. He also had a

1384
01:12:06,800 --> 01:12:10,040
Speaker 2: batted pass at the line of scrimmage for a PBu

1385
01:12:11,200 --> 01:12:14,880
Speaker 2: as the rookie fourth round pick made an impact in

1386
01:12:15,080 --> 01:12:19,120
Speaker 2: Monday Night's game defensively, particularly in the second half.

1387
01:12:20,640 --> 01:12:23,519
Speaker 1: Yeah, he did step it up big time. And uh,

1388
01:12:24,640 --> 01:12:28,439
Speaker 1: you know, like for most young players, you know, you

1389
01:12:28,479 --> 01:12:31,679
Speaker 1: see you know, more consistently. That's all that's you know, basically,

1390
01:12:31,760 --> 01:12:35,000
Speaker 1: that's it just be more consistent because when you show up,

1391
01:12:35,080 --> 01:12:39,040
Speaker 1: you show up big. And yeah, Dion Walker was I.

1392
01:12:39,040 --> 01:12:40,639
Speaker 2: Mean, he made that tackle. He's getting held.

1393
01:12:40,880 --> 01:12:41,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's getting held.

1394
01:12:43,280 --> 01:12:45,400
Speaker 2: So that was that was encouraging to see.

1395
01:12:45,520 --> 01:12:46,679
Speaker 1: It really is. It's encouraging.

1396
01:12:46,720 --> 01:12:49,479
Speaker 2: It's just a shame that like a third of this

1397
01:12:49,640 --> 01:12:54,400
Speaker 2: draft class is on ir like you can't catch a break, Yeah,

1398
01:12:55,360 --> 01:12:58,920
Speaker 2: can not catch a break. Uh, let's get back to Oh,

1399
01:12:58,960 --> 01:13:01,200
Speaker 2: we got to do QBACH check in as well. Sorry,

1400
01:13:01,640 --> 01:13:03,759
Speaker 2: we got a lot of stuff to go over here, Steve.

1401
01:13:03,840 --> 01:13:07,080
Speaker 2: After the g QB check In is presented by the

1402
01:13:07,200 --> 01:13:10,040
Speaker 2: University of Wyoming, you're ready for any field with the

1403
01:13:10,160 --> 01:13:14,240
Speaker 2: University of Wyoming a proud partner of the Buffalo Bills.

1404
01:13:14,960 --> 01:13:15,439
Speaker 8: And uh.

1405
01:13:15,680 --> 01:13:18,080
Speaker 2: It was a bit of a tough night for Josh

1406
01:13:18,120 --> 01:13:21,439
Speaker 2: Allen fifteen to twenty six passing one hundred and eighty

1407
01:13:21,520 --> 01:13:26,679
Speaker 2: yards two touchdown passes, also had two picks a seventy

1408
01:13:26,720 --> 01:13:29,679
Speaker 2: two to six passer rating. He also ran six times

1409
01:13:29,760 --> 01:13:33,479
Speaker 2: for forty two yards to average seven yards per carring.

1410
01:13:34,520 --> 01:13:36,880
Speaker 2: So that is the QB check In. Now we can

1411
01:13:36,960 --> 01:13:38,920
Speaker 2: get back to the phones at eight oh three, five

1412
01:13:38,920 --> 01:13:41,280
Speaker 2: point fifty one, eight eight eight, five point fifty two,

1413
01:13:41,400 --> 01:13:43,840
Speaker 2: five point fifty into Steven Amherst. Next, what's up, Steve.

1414
01:13:45,040 --> 01:13:47,400
Speaker 6: I think we're getting a little bit more where I

1415
01:13:47,560 --> 01:13:51,160
Speaker 6: was hoping we could go. So I have a question

1416
01:13:51,840 --> 01:13:55,120
Speaker 6: and as maybe you guys can answer me if we

1417
01:13:55,280 --> 01:13:57,559
Speaker 6: have that passing problem a little bit.

1418
01:13:58,080 --> 01:13:59,240
Speaker 8: We have three guys.

1419
01:13:59,439 --> 01:14:02,560
Speaker 6: One is James Cook, we have Davis.

1420
01:14:02,360 --> 01:14:03,400
Speaker 8: We have Johnson.

1421
01:14:03,920 --> 01:14:06,599
Speaker 6: So I was thinking and you could tell me if

1422
01:14:06,640 --> 01:14:09,759
Speaker 6: it's right or wrong. If we could put them guys

1423
01:14:09,880 --> 01:14:12,960
Speaker 6: in the backfield, either one or two of them, maybe

1424
01:14:13,040 --> 01:14:16,639
Speaker 6: put one in a slot earth flanker back and try

1425
01:14:16,720 --> 01:14:19,400
Speaker 6: to get them ten to fifteen yards down the field

1426
01:14:19,760 --> 01:14:23,560
Speaker 6: and take a little additional pressure off the receivers. I

1427
01:14:23,600 --> 01:14:25,600
Speaker 6: don't know if that would work, but that would be

1428
01:14:25,720 --> 01:14:28,880
Speaker 6: a suggestion. I don't know what, because I'm just a layman.

1429
01:14:29,840 --> 01:14:32,719
Speaker 6: Doils mafia in nineteen sixty. I'll hang up and listen

1430
01:14:32,840 --> 01:14:33,799
Speaker 6: to your answer.

1431
01:14:33,960 --> 01:14:35,320
Speaker 1: What exactly is he asking to do?

1432
01:14:35,880 --> 01:14:38,840
Speaker 2: He wants to knowing as shorthanded as they are at

1433
01:14:38,880 --> 01:14:41,639
Speaker 2: the receiver position with some of the injuries now, most

1434
01:14:41,680 --> 01:14:47,320
Speaker 2: notably Josh Palmer, you're also without Curtis Samuel, he's advocating

1435
01:14:47,479 --> 01:14:51,439
Speaker 2: or suggesting that you use some of the backs as

1436
01:14:51,560 --> 01:14:55,559
Speaker 2: pass receivers. We know this is a three headed running

1437
01:14:55,640 --> 01:15:00,920
Speaker 2: back unit that had eight receiving touchdowns last season three, three,

1438
01:15:00,960 --> 01:15:03,320
Speaker 2: and two respectively. It was spread across the board. We

1439
01:15:03,400 --> 01:15:05,559
Speaker 2: see Ray Davis go in for a touchdown last night.

1440
01:15:06,840 --> 01:15:09,960
Speaker 2: If you're gonna be shorthanded, yeah, I wouldn't be opposed

1441
01:15:09,960 --> 01:15:10,120
Speaker 2: to that.

1442
01:15:10,240 --> 01:15:10,519
Speaker 1: As all.

1443
01:15:10,800 --> 01:15:13,360
Speaker 2: They love Ty Johnson as their best pass protector. That's

1444
01:15:13,360 --> 01:15:15,040
Speaker 2: why he's in on third down and in on two

1445
01:15:15,120 --> 01:15:16,960
Speaker 2: minutes drill, So you want to leave him back there,

1446
01:15:17,040 --> 01:15:20,400
Speaker 2: that's fine. If you're worried about some protection issues, you

1447
01:15:20,439 --> 01:15:22,080
Speaker 2: could take a page out of the Patriots book that

1448
01:15:22,120 --> 01:15:24,840
Speaker 2: they used against the Bills. Go split backs, double the

1449
01:15:24,960 --> 01:15:27,439
Speaker 2: edge rushers, and let the three guys in the middle

1450
01:15:27,479 --> 01:15:29,800
Speaker 2: handle the interior pressure and maybe a hold up longer

1451
01:15:29,880 --> 01:15:31,040
Speaker 2: for a receiver too yet open.

1452
01:15:31,560 --> 01:15:36,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's yeah, certainly that makes some sense, no question.

1453
01:15:36,640 --> 01:15:39,519
Speaker 1: Hard to have that ready and on the front burner

1454
01:15:39,880 --> 01:15:41,439
Speaker 1: when it happens in the middle on.

1455
01:15:41,479 --> 01:15:43,559
Speaker 2: The fly, right, yeah, in the game, but yeah, going

1456
01:15:43,640 --> 01:15:44,800
Speaker 2: forward still without the.

1457
01:15:45,040 --> 01:15:48,200
Speaker 1: Absolutely, yeah, it's all hands on deck. When you get

1458
01:15:48,240 --> 01:15:50,160
Speaker 1: to a point where all of a sudden, you're coming

1459
01:15:50,200 --> 01:15:52,200
Speaker 1: out of the bye week going to Carolina, you still

1460
01:15:52,200 --> 01:15:55,680
Speaker 1: don't have Palmer, you still don't have Samuel, then you're

1461
01:15:56,200 --> 01:16:00,559
Speaker 1: thinking outside the box, right, So yes, But like I said,

1462
01:16:00,560 --> 01:16:03,360
Speaker 1: you want to have that stuff repped before you actually

1463
01:16:03,479 --> 01:16:05,920
Speaker 1: unfurl it in a game. And I don't know that

1464
01:16:06,120 --> 01:16:10,200
Speaker 1: the Bills were ready to have Palmer and Kincaid.

1465
01:16:11,680 --> 01:16:13,280
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, and Kinkaid two is out of the game

1466
01:16:13,360 --> 01:16:15,320
Speaker 2: and all those guys out, So you know, I can't

1467
01:16:15,360 --> 01:16:16,760
Speaker 2: even keep track of who they're right.

1468
01:16:16,840 --> 01:16:19,600
Speaker 1: So that's down. That's down the menu of things you

1469
01:16:19,720 --> 01:16:22,200
Speaker 1: might be a possibility you're really not repping that stuff that.

1470
01:16:22,800 --> 01:16:24,320
Speaker 2: Coming out of a bye. If you know you're still

1471
01:16:24,360 --> 01:16:25,960
Speaker 2: going to be out with one or two of those guys, that.

1472
01:16:26,000 --> 01:16:29,240
Speaker 1: Can be something you do that's different. But as for yesterday,

1473
01:16:29,240 --> 01:16:30,519
Speaker 1: I don't know how you pull that out of the

1474
01:16:31,000 --> 01:16:33,320
Speaker 1: back of the playbook and springing on guys without having

1475
01:16:33,360 --> 01:16:33,800
Speaker 1: them rep it.

1476
01:16:34,160 --> 01:16:38,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, as I'm thinking about post buy. As I mentioned

1477
01:16:38,479 --> 01:16:40,600
Speaker 2: already earlier in the show, the Bills are eight and

1478
01:16:40,760 --> 01:16:43,760
Speaker 2: oh out of the by under Sean McDermott. So that's

1479
01:16:44,080 --> 01:16:47,120
Speaker 2: something to be encouraged by. But at the same time,

1480
01:16:48,240 --> 01:16:53,240
Speaker 2: I just realized and remembered that Carolina has a running

1481
01:16:53,320 --> 01:16:56,439
Speaker 2: back who the last two weeks has gone for over

1482
01:16:56,520 --> 01:17:00,559
Speaker 2: two hundred yards from scrimmage. Rico Doubtele has gone off

1483
01:17:01,160 --> 01:17:03,800
Speaker 2: the last two weeks, and even if Chewba Hubbard is

1484
01:17:03,840 --> 01:17:07,320
Speaker 2: back from injury, I can't see him replacing a guy

1485
01:17:07,400 --> 01:17:10,720
Speaker 2: that's rolling up two hundred yards a game in the backfield.

1486
01:17:10,840 --> 01:17:14,240
Speaker 2: So the Bills go from Bijon Robinson, and he may

1487
01:17:14,320 --> 01:17:17,760
Speaker 2: serve as good prep for what Rico Doubtle's doing lately

1488
01:17:17,840 --> 01:17:18,960
Speaker 2: for the Carolina Panthers.

1489
01:17:19,080 --> 01:17:23,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's crazy, Yeah, Carol. These teams are with the

1490
01:17:24,320 --> 01:17:27,479
Speaker 1: with the swing and the pendulum between person defensive personnel

1491
01:17:27,520 --> 01:17:30,200
Speaker 1: and the philosophies around the league. The pendulum has swung

1492
01:17:30,320 --> 01:17:33,360
Speaker 1: back to a more physical offensive game plan, and running

1493
01:17:33,400 --> 01:17:36,000
Speaker 1: backs are reaping the benefits of it. You know, Bill's

1494
01:17:36,040 --> 01:17:38,840
Speaker 1: no first hand what Derrick Henry can do. They've found.

1495
01:17:38,880 --> 01:17:40,760
Speaker 1: You know, Jonathan Taylor is crushing it.

1496
01:17:41,560 --> 01:17:42,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, leading the league in rushing.

1497
01:17:42,800 --> 01:17:47,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you got Bjon Robinson as well. It's starting

1498
01:17:47,640 --> 01:17:50,439
Speaker 1: to get to the point where teams are taking and

1499
01:17:51,040 --> 01:17:55,360
Speaker 1: it's making it easy for guys like Daniel Jones, Michael Pennix.

1500
01:17:56,040 --> 01:17:58,320
Speaker 1: You go down the list of quarterbacks who are benefiting

1501
01:17:58,400 --> 01:18:01,840
Speaker 1: and Josh Allen too, benefiting from an offensive line in

1502
01:18:01,880 --> 01:18:04,439
Speaker 1: a running game that lets you go fifty to fifty

1503
01:18:05,000 --> 01:18:07,559
Speaker 1: and run past instead of sixty to forty pass to run.

1504
01:18:08,920 --> 01:18:10,960
Speaker 1: It makes it easier for young quarterbacks to keep their

1505
01:18:11,000 --> 01:18:13,520
Speaker 1: head above water in these games and win games.

1506
01:18:13,320 --> 01:18:16,439
Speaker 2: Because of it. To Mark and west senecon X, what's.

1507
01:18:16,360 --> 01:18:20,000
Speaker 13: Up, Mark, Hey, guys, I got a couple of questions

1508
01:18:20,040 --> 01:18:23,800
Speaker 13: and just an observation. First question is the Harrison thing

1509
01:18:23,880 --> 01:18:28,559
Speaker 13: going on? Is he had a tear in any liguement,

1510
01:18:29,000 --> 01:18:31,000
Speaker 13: because if he's got a spraying, he seems to have

1511
01:18:31,080 --> 01:18:34,040
Speaker 13: been out an awful long time, and rumor I'm hearing

1512
01:18:34,200 --> 01:18:36,639
Speaker 13: is it might not be toil weak tent that he's back,

1513
01:18:36,680 --> 01:18:40,000
Speaker 13: which would be another month. So I'm really concerned as

1514
01:18:40,080 --> 01:18:43,040
Speaker 13: to what the true nature of his injury was. That's

1515
01:18:43,160 --> 01:18:48,240
Speaker 13: number one. Number two, we'll talk about strategy, especially an offense.

1516
01:18:48,920 --> 01:18:53,439
Speaker 13: Even with dan Arowsky on today, how things went. I'm

1517
01:18:53,600 --> 01:18:57,840
Speaker 13: very curious knowing how Sean is and how details he is.

1518
01:18:58,600 --> 01:19:00,960
Speaker 13: Do you know if the bills in the past thirthday would.

1519
01:19:00,800 --> 01:19:01,280
Speaker 2: Even do this?

1520
01:19:01,479 --> 01:19:07,080
Speaker 13: Now looked outside the organization for some evaluation rather than

1521
01:19:07,280 --> 01:19:11,120
Speaker 13: just internal evaluation during these two weeks that they have

1522
01:19:12,120 --> 01:19:16,760
Speaker 13: and ask them questions with somebody entrusted and so knowledgeable

1523
01:19:17,040 --> 01:19:19,680
Speaker 13: like a dan Alowski, to say, hey, guys, what do

1524
01:19:19,760 --> 01:19:22,120
Speaker 13: you see with what we're doing? Are we getting any

1525
01:19:22,160 --> 01:19:25,880
Speaker 13: tunnel vision here? Can you make some suggestions where we

1526
01:19:25,920 --> 01:19:28,679
Speaker 13: should start looking a little bit and help them along

1527
01:19:28,760 --> 01:19:32,560
Speaker 13: in some of their evaluation. And then my observation is this,

1528
01:19:33,600 --> 01:19:37,880
Speaker 13: I was really disappointed last night we block a field goal,

1529
01:19:38,360 --> 01:19:40,120
Speaker 13: we're moving the ball a little bit, we get out

1530
01:19:40,160 --> 01:19:43,000
Speaker 13: to miserfield, we're on a third and one, and that

1531
01:19:43,280 --> 01:19:46,240
Speaker 13: ridiculous play comes in from Joe Brady. And I know

1532
01:19:47,280 --> 01:19:49,640
Speaker 13: Josh loves Joe, and I know how important he is

1533
01:19:49,720 --> 01:19:52,400
Speaker 13: for them to be on the same page. But in

1534
01:19:52,479 --> 01:19:56,120
Speaker 13: that situation, my field general, and that's how I look

1535
01:19:56,800 --> 01:19:59,960
Speaker 13: at Josh as now this guy come to line a scrimma.

1536
01:20:00,160 --> 01:20:02,000
Speaker 13: Either in the huddle was going to say we're not

1537
01:20:02,160 --> 01:20:05,200
Speaker 13: running that play or come to the line and change

1538
01:20:05,280 --> 01:20:08,639
Speaker 13: it and say we got two downs here to get

1539
01:20:08,680 --> 01:20:10,800
Speaker 13: a first down because we got to tie this game

1540
01:20:10,880 --> 01:20:11,439
Speaker 13: up right now.

1541
01:20:11,920 --> 01:20:12,040
Speaker 10: Now.

1542
01:20:12,120 --> 01:20:14,240
Speaker 13: We don't need to be playing games here. Right now,

1543
01:20:14,479 --> 01:20:16,160
Speaker 13: We're going to take this ball and go right down

1544
01:20:16,240 --> 01:20:18,280
Speaker 13: their throat. And if you looked at the game up

1545
01:20:18,400 --> 01:20:20,880
Speaker 13: until that point, that was the only time they had

1546
01:20:20,960 --> 01:20:23,680
Speaker 13: successes when they really got physical with that team and

1547
01:20:23,800 --> 01:20:26,360
Speaker 13: went right at them. So I was a little disappointed

1548
01:20:26,400 --> 01:20:29,760
Speaker 13: that Josh would even run that play in that situation.

1549
01:20:30,040 --> 01:20:33,559
Speaker 13: So though there are just my questions and observations today, guys, Thanks.

1550
01:20:33,439 --> 01:20:35,840
Speaker 1: No, I'd rather instead of Josh just throwing it to

1551
01:20:35,920 --> 01:20:39,080
Speaker 1: the wind and not running that play and changing it

1552
01:20:39,120 --> 01:20:40,720
Speaker 1: and just taking the bull by the horns. I'd rather

1553
01:20:40,760 --> 01:20:43,680
Speaker 1: have him just make the handoff, and that would be

1554
01:20:43,760 --> 01:20:50,040
Speaker 1: better if if whoever it is coming across, or who

1555
01:20:50,160 --> 01:20:54,160
Speaker 1: was it, Elijah Moore, If Elijah Moore sees it, he's

1556
01:20:54,200 --> 01:20:55,800
Speaker 1: going to put his foot in the ground and take

1557
01:20:55,840 --> 01:21:00,599
Speaker 1: it right up inside. But he's fumbling around. He can't

1558
01:21:00,640 --> 01:21:02,960
Speaker 1: get the handoff clean. He doesn't get the handoff clean.

1559
01:21:03,280 --> 01:21:04,720
Speaker 1: If he just puts his foot in the ground and

1560
01:21:04,840 --> 01:21:07,479
Speaker 1: leans forward, he gets the first down, it would be

1561
01:21:07,560 --> 01:21:10,160
Speaker 1: better instead of Josh going off the rail, going off

1562
01:21:10,200 --> 01:21:12,839
Speaker 1: the rails or whatever, just poop poo in the offensive

1563
01:21:12,840 --> 01:21:19,000
Speaker 1: coordinator just to execute a handoff. That's been a problem.

1564
01:21:19,479 --> 01:21:22,800
Speaker 2: As for outside consultants, they do exist. A lot of

1565
01:21:22,880 --> 01:21:28,400
Speaker 2: times coaches that get fired. Robert Sala, for example, I know,

1566
01:21:28,560 --> 01:21:31,080
Speaker 2: did some consultant work. I can't remember if it was

1567
01:21:31,120 --> 01:21:33,160
Speaker 2: the forty nine ers or the Jaguars last year, but

1568
01:21:33,240 --> 01:21:35,720
Speaker 2: after he was let go by the Jets, he got

1569
01:21:35,800 --> 01:21:38,160
Speaker 2: paid to do some consultant work for other teams. And

1570
01:21:38,240 --> 01:21:41,920
Speaker 2: basically consultant work is getting is asking him to be

1571
01:21:41,960 --> 01:21:44,840
Speaker 2: a fresh set of eyes on something. Hey tell me

1572
01:21:44,960 --> 01:21:48,360
Speaker 2: if we're giving too many tells. As an offense, you

1573
01:21:48,400 --> 01:21:50,760
Speaker 2: know you're a defensive coordinator in this league. You have

1574
01:21:50,920 --> 01:21:53,280
Speaker 2: been for years. Give me your honest opinion. If we're

1575
01:21:53,840 --> 01:21:56,240
Speaker 2: telling you too much, pre snap here and tell us

1576
01:21:56,280 --> 01:21:58,439
Speaker 2: what we can do to maybe disguise that a little more.

1577
01:21:58,760 --> 01:22:00,839
Speaker 2: That's some of the give and take that does exist.

1578
01:22:01,000 --> 01:22:03,800
Speaker 2: I don't know personally if the Bills do that. It

1579
01:22:03,800 --> 01:22:06,759
Speaker 2: wouldn't shock me if they do or have over the years,

1580
01:22:07,280 --> 01:22:10,360
Speaker 2: but that does go on in the league. Yeah, there

1581
01:22:10,400 --> 01:22:13,439
Speaker 2: you go. Let's go to uh let's see who's been

1582
01:22:13,439 --> 01:22:17,960
Speaker 2: holding the longest here Ryan in Toronto? What's up, Ryan, Steve.

1583
01:22:18,720 --> 01:22:21,599
Speaker 14: I'm really upset and disappointed. I don't know where to start,

1584
01:22:21,640 --> 01:22:24,920
Speaker 14: to be honest on the trick play or the cute

1585
01:22:24,960 --> 01:22:28,280
Speaker 14: player that are Brady Diald. Why wasn't Ty Jorgson on

1586
01:22:28,360 --> 01:22:32,000
Speaker 14: the field. He is the best to down back. That's

1587
01:22:32,040 --> 01:22:35,800
Speaker 14: what josh Adam said before you cook got fined in

1588
01:22:35,960 --> 01:22:42,240
Speaker 14: a off season. Secondly, let's uh kayla team next after

1589
01:22:42,280 --> 01:22:45,280
Speaker 14: a bi week that the same team that beat on

1590
01:22:45,360 --> 01:22:49,040
Speaker 14: the Atlanta Falcons thirty to nothing, they were able to

1591
01:22:49,040 --> 01:22:52,240
Speaker 14: put up thirty points against that defense and zero points

1592
01:22:52,240 --> 01:22:57,240
Speaker 14: will scored on them. Come on, I'll be surprised if

1593
01:22:58,600 --> 01:23:02,640
Speaker 14: they better have a plan for calin. If that goes sideways,

1594
01:23:02,880 --> 01:23:07,400
Speaker 14: you will kiss AFC East title goodbye. And you know,

1595
01:23:07,560 --> 01:23:09,559
Speaker 14: I'll be surprised they make a playoff after that because

1596
01:23:09,560 --> 01:23:12,439
Speaker 14: you got Casey on the on deck. And to be

1597
01:23:12,520 --> 01:23:18,600
Speaker 14: honest about all these injuries, look at Sam frans take notes, mcdullman.

1598
01:23:19,040 --> 01:23:22,360
Speaker 14: Sam Franz is next man of my mentality. They don't

1599
01:23:22,520 --> 01:23:25,320
Speaker 14: have a starting quarterback. You've got Matt Jones starting and

1600
01:23:25,560 --> 01:23:28,880
Speaker 14: winning games on prime time. Come on, guys, get with

1601
01:23:28,960 --> 01:23:29,439
Speaker 14: the program.

1602
01:23:30,880 --> 01:23:35,000
Speaker 2: All right, thanks, Ryan, I understand why you're frustrated and

1603
01:23:35,160 --> 01:23:38,120
Speaker 2: passionate as you usually are. Let's see what they can

1604
01:23:38,200 --> 01:23:41,439
Speaker 2: do during the bye week to right some of the wrongs.

1605
01:23:41,800 --> 01:23:45,040
Speaker 2: And look, I'll just say this. We mentioned it earlier. Okay,

1606
01:23:45,680 --> 01:23:48,240
Speaker 2: this is a team that has had a set of

1607
01:23:48,400 --> 01:23:52,439
Speaker 2: back to back lossage losses in every year that Sean

1608
01:23:52,520 --> 01:23:56,479
Speaker 2: McDermott has coached this football team. Okay, so let's go

1609
01:23:57,040 --> 01:24:00,840
Speaker 2: first to last year. Okay, this team loses back to

1610
01:24:00,960 --> 01:24:05,040
Speaker 2: back games in Week four and Week five. They won

1611
01:24:05,080 --> 01:24:08,400
Speaker 2: their next seven games in a row. Okay, we'll go

1612
01:24:08,479 --> 01:24:10,920
Speaker 2: back and look, I know this year isn't last year

1613
01:24:11,000 --> 01:24:13,680
Speaker 2: and all of that stuff, but you know you do it.

1614
01:24:14,479 --> 01:24:18,400
Speaker 2: In twenty twenty three, they lost two in a row Cincinnati, Denver.

1615
01:24:19,000 --> 01:24:21,519
Speaker 2: They win. The next week, they lose to the Eagles

1616
01:24:21,520 --> 01:24:23,880
Speaker 2: in overtime on the road, and then they win their

1617
01:24:23,960 --> 01:24:26,559
Speaker 2: last five games and walk down Miami and win the division.

1618
01:24:26,920 --> 01:24:30,080
Speaker 2: They do have a good They do a good job

1619
01:24:30,320 --> 01:24:33,080
Speaker 2: of course, correcting when things are going the wrong way

1620
01:24:34,000 --> 01:24:36,280
Speaker 2: and get back on track. And with the benefit of

1621
01:24:36,360 --> 01:24:38,760
Speaker 2: a bye week, I think the opportunity to do that

1622
01:24:38,920 --> 01:24:42,120
Speaker 2: is only enhanced, wouldn't you agree, Yes, with all the

1623
01:24:42,160 --> 01:24:43,920
Speaker 2: time you have at your disposal.

1624
01:24:44,479 --> 01:24:47,800
Speaker 1: Yes, they're gonna have some They're gonna do some soul

1625
01:24:47,880 --> 01:24:50,320
Speaker 1: searching the players you can better, or have already started

1626
01:24:50,360 --> 01:24:53,320
Speaker 1: that last night after that game, sitting at their lockers,

1627
01:24:53,400 --> 01:24:55,160
Speaker 1: before they even cleared out of the locker room, they

1628
01:24:55,160 --> 01:24:58,040
Speaker 1: were doing some soul searching. Probably had some conversations on

1629
01:24:58,080 --> 01:25:01,840
Speaker 1: the trip home this week and leading up to it.

1630
01:25:02,000 --> 01:25:05,400
Speaker 1: Is gonna be about playing better. Certainly they'll get some

1631
01:25:05,479 --> 01:25:09,080
Speaker 1: guys back on the field health wise, okay, but there's

1632
01:25:09,080 --> 01:25:11,719
Speaker 1: an attitude that has to permeate everybody on the squad,

1633
01:25:12,400 --> 01:25:15,160
Speaker 1: not just you know, the guys that participated in the

1634
01:25:15,240 --> 01:25:19,760
Speaker 1: last two weeks. So yes, if you can't get it

1635
01:25:19,840 --> 01:25:22,559
Speaker 1: straightened out over the next two weeks. Ryan may be right.

1636
01:25:22,640 --> 01:25:27,600
Speaker 1: They we may have had wildly exaggerated expectations for this

1637
01:25:27,680 --> 01:25:29,680
Speaker 1: crew and what they could do if they don't. If

1638
01:25:29,720 --> 01:25:32,000
Speaker 1: they don't, if they aren't able to get it back

1639
01:25:32,080 --> 01:25:34,000
Speaker 1: on track over the next couple of weeks.

1640
01:25:34,479 --> 01:25:36,680
Speaker 2: Gotta take a break here one segment ago on a

1641
01:25:36,680 --> 01:25:39,160
Speaker 2: Buffalo football Tuesday here on One Bill's Live. We'll see

1642
01:25:39,160 --> 01:25:40,639
Speaker 2: we can squeeze in a phone call or two when

1643
01:25:40,640 --> 01:25:54,759
Speaker 2: we come back. There's the snap hold.

1644
01:25:54,880 --> 01:25:58,280
Speaker 4: His down kick is blocked, the field goal is blocked.

1645
01:25:58,479 --> 01:26:01,320
Speaker 4: Hancock goes to scoop it and he's got it at

1646
01:26:01,360 --> 01:26:02,800
Speaker 4: the thirty nine yard line.

1647
01:26:03,160 --> 01:26:04,839
Speaker 2: What a play by the Bills.

1648
01:26:05,200 --> 01:26:07,760
Speaker 4: Greg Russo appears to be the guy that got in

1649
01:26:07,880 --> 01:26:09,479
Speaker 4: there and blocked the field goal.

1650
01:26:10,640 --> 01:26:13,680
Speaker 2: A Big Energy Play of the Week is presented by

1651
01:26:13,880 --> 01:26:16,960
Speaker 2: National Grid. National Grid is a proud partner of the

1652
01:26:17,000 --> 01:26:19,639
Speaker 2: Buffalo Bills. Time for one more phone call, so we'll

1653
01:26:19,640 --> 01:26:22,320
Speaker 2: squeeze it in. As Jason is out on the road

1654
01:26:22,360 --> 01:26:25,720
Speaker 2: on a cell. What's up, Jason, Hey, Chris, how you doing?

1655
01:26:25,760 --> 01:26:29,200
Speaker 15: Sod uh? Yeah, We're on an interstate coming back from

1656
01:26:29,200 --> 01:26:33,760
Speaker 15: that throwback drought year game we heard last night. But

1657
01:26:34,400 --> 01:26:36,720
Speaker 15: what I'm sure Bill Smarty showed up a lot of red,

1658
01:26:36,720 --> 01:26:38,120
Speaker 15: white and blue to the stadium. I guess you guys

1659
01:26:38,200 --> 01:26:38,560
Speaker 15: notice it.

1660
01:26:38,960 --> 01:26:42,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was a great showing. You know. The Atlanta

1661
01:26:42,320 --> 01:26:45,479
Speaker 2: Bills backers really kind of were great hosts for all

1662
01:26:45,520 --> 01:26:47,960
Speaker 2: the fans that came down for that. They had a

1663
01:26:48,200 --> 01:26:53,280
Speaker 2: massive tailgate party just outside the stadium. There it was

1664
01:26:53,479 --> 01:26:56,720
Speaker 2: a sea of humanity like I don't remember seeing on

1665
01:26:56,840 --> 01:27:00,360
Speaker 2: the road before. And for those that forgot the first

1666
01:27:00,439 --> 01:27:03,680
Speaker 2: third down that the Atlanta Falcons had, they had to

1667
01:27:03,760 --> 01:27:06,479
Speaker 2: go silent count because the Bills fans got up and

1668
01:27:06,560 --> 01:27:09,400
Speaker 2: got so loud. Pennix had to go silent count and

1669
01:27:09,479 --> 01:27:11,880
Speaker 2: they didn't get the playoff, and the pass rush got

1670
01:27:11,920 --> 01:27:14,000
Speaker 2: there and forced an incompletion. But what do you got

1671
01:27:14,040 --> 01:27:15,639
Speaker 2: for us, Jason, Yeah.

1672
01:27:15,520 --> 01:27:18,080
Speaker 15: We were ready to tell you it was incredible. Three

1673
01:27:18,200 --> 01:27:20,720
Speaker 15: things touching real quick. First of all, I don't think

1674
01:27:20,760 --> 01:27:23,000
Speaker 15: we use cook enough. I have to see how the

1675
01:27:23,040 --> 01:27:26,120
Speaker 15: other teams use like CMC or even how Atlanta used

1676
01:27:26,479 --> 01:27:28,560
Speaker 15: b Johonna Robinson. They line them up everywhere. We just

1677
01:27:28,600 --> 01:27:32,640
Speaker 15: not use them in the past game. Second thing, I

1678
01:27:32,760 --> 01:27:35,600
Speaker 15: blame a lot of stuff on our administration. If you

1679
01:27:35,760 --> 01:27:39,120
Speaker 15: coach on up on to Brian Brandon Bean, it's like

1680
01:27:39,160 --> 01:27:41,880
Speaker 15: they got the ideology is wrong that we just got

1681
01:27:42,000 --> 01:27:45,240
Speaker 15: Josh He's incredible, but we just got other players just

1682
01:27:45,320 --> 01:27:46,880
Speaker 15: good enough and Josh Wall make them better. We just

1683
01:27:46,920 --> 01:27:50,200
Speaker 15: good enough, our defense just good enough and joshum or

1684
01:27:50,240 --> 01:27:53,639
Speaker 15: our score of people that's not working. That everybody East

1685
01:27:53,640 --> 01:27:56,280
Speaker 15: things not working because we got beat up last night.

1686
01:27:56,320 --> 01:27:58,160
Speaker 15: It was on two players that with everybody eating in Atlanta,

1687
01:27:58,160 --> 01:28:00,479
Speaker 15: it was two players that ate us up obvioson in

1688
01:28:00,520 --> 01:28:07,000
Speaker 15: the London it wasn't everybody was two guys, guys who stood.

1689
01:28:07,560 --> 01:28:09,519
Speaker 15: And the same thing with that New England miss it

1690
01:28:09,680 --> 01:28:12,720
Speaker 15: was stiff fun. You get stood players, not everybody eats.

1691
01:28:12,760 --> 01:28:13,400
Speaker 8: That's not working.

1692
01:28:13,840 --> 01:28:15,679
Speaker 15: But the third thing is a lot of people asking

1693
01:28:15,760 --> 01:28:19,080
Speaker 15: me is a Bill's Mafia fan? If we're wasting a wait,

1694
01:28:19,160 --> 01:28:21,760
Speaker 15: Josh good years, I'm already in past it. I think

1695
01:28:21,760 --> 01:28:24,400
Speaker 15: we had wasted it. Josh turned thirty next season. I'm

1696
01:28:24,439 --> 01:28:27,960
Speaker 15: afraid we're wasted it already. But I love you two guys,

1697
01:28:28,120 --> 01:28:30,680
Speaker 15: and I told you a while back, Steve, that I

1698
01:28:30,800 --> 01:28:32,840
Speaker 15: wasn't gonna eat. I'm going fast till you makes the

1699
01:28:32,880 --> 01:28:34,479
Speaker 15: Hall of fame and I'm down seventy five.

1700
01:28:36,800 --> 01:28:37,519
Speaker 2: We'll get him there.

1701
01:28:38,400 --> 01:28:40,479
Speaker 15: I said, good about the senior pants thing. The senior

1702
01:28:40,479 --> 01:28:41,479
Speaker 15: panels will get.

1703
01:28:41,400 --> 01:28:44,680
Speaker 1: In, Jason, Jason, don't do that. Go have a cheeseburger

1704
01:28:44,720 --> 01:28:44,880
Speaker 1: on me.

1705
01:28:45,000 --> 01:28:45,160
Speaker 8: Man.

1706
01:28:46,040 --> 01:28:50,320
Speaker 2: Thanks Steve, all right, thanks Jason for the call. Appreciate it. Yeah,

1707
01:28:51,040 --> 01:28:53,519
Speaker 2: that was that was a tough one for the fans

1708
01:28:53,600 --> 01:28:56,120
Speaker 2: to watch there that came out, and look, it was

1709
01:28:56,200 --> 01:28:59,200
Speaker 2: tough for everybody. But and it's unfortunate that we got

1710
01:28:59,320 --> 01:29:01,719
Speaker 2: to go into the by like this, especially the players

1711
01:29:01,720 --> 01:29:03,400
Speaker 2: and coaches. They've got to stew about this one for

1712
01:29:03,439 --> 01:29:07,000
Speaker 2: a couple of weeks. But you have to rest assured

1713
01:29:07,040 --> 01:29:08,599
Speaker 2: that in the bye week they'll be able to fix

1714
01:29:08,680 --> 01:29:11,479
Speaker 2: some of these ills and come back a better football

1715
01:29:11,560 --> 01:29:14,679
Speaker 2: team and maybe most importantly, Steve, just a more buttoned

1716
01:29:14,800 --> 01:29:18,280
Speaker 2: up team, playing tighter games from start to finish. I

1717
01:29:18,280 --> 01:29:19,719
Speaker 2: think is where this all begins.

1718
01:29:20,320 --> 01:29:22,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, penalties have crushed them over thirty in the last

1719
01:29:23,000 --> 01:29:25,400
Speaker 1: three games. Thirty in the last three games. That's just

1720
01:29:25,479 --> 01:29:30,439
Speaker 1: too many. So I'm with you, brown Ed, get it together,

1721
01:29:30,520 --> 01:29:35,640
Speaker 1: settle down, and you know, just you know, be the

1722
01:29:35,640 --> 01:29:36,880
Speaker 1: football team you know you can be.
