Speaker 2: here on a cold and chilly day in western New

6
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:49,640
Speaker 2: York after snow overnight left some measurable snow on the

7
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 2: grassy areas, not on the streets grounds still too warm

8
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 2: for that. But yeah, here we are, and apparently fall

9
00:00:59,440 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 2: is over.

10
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 3: I'll ever first flip the switch.

11
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 2: Holy crow, I was not ready for that. My snowblower

12
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 2: is still in the shed in the backyard. I gotta

13
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 2: wheel it out. I was hoping to get one more

14
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 2: grass cut in. I don't know if that's happened.

15
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:17,399
Speaker 3: I got my little snowplow thingy, and I was last night.

16
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 3: I got home late, and I was like, gosh, should

17
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 3: I put that thing on it? Because it was snowing.

18
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 3: There was a little snow in my driveway right. I

19
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:26,480
Speaker 3: was like, oh, man, if it really comes down, I

20
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 3: gotta have I gotta get up and I gotta but

21
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 3: I didn't have to do it. My my driveway was

22
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:32,039
Speaker 3: clearer this morning when it was when I.

23
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 2: Left yeah, I got home. Yeah, the ground's warm.

24
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I thankfully, yes, I was, you know, relieved

25
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 3: of that responsibility this morning.

26
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 4: I have to do that.

27
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 3: But right it's here, man, flip that switch. You ain't

28
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 3: no rhostat where you gradually slide into the way. It's like,

29
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 3: here you go, here's the snow.

30
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 2: So we'll see what comes of it. I know it's

31
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:56,559
Speaker 2: supposed to be some days in the fifties next week,

32
00:01:56,640 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 2: so maybe not all is lost, but as far as

33
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 2: right now, yeah, because we had our bag of candy

34
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 2: out on the stoop because traffic was down this this

35
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 2: week this year. Yeah, with the weather. I mean I

36
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 2: think if we had twenty trick or treaters, it was

37
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 2: a lot. And by like seven thirty eight, I was like,

38
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:25,360
Speaker 2: I'm not I'm not interrupting my evening anymore. I'm just

39
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 2: gonna put the basket out there, and if they take it,

40
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 2: one kid takes it all all the better because it's

41
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,919
Speaker 2: less that I'll eat. So I just left it out

42
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 2: there and it still wasn't empty. I think we had

43
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 2: maybe three more kids stroll by said take as much

44
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 2: as you want. Yeah, and that was it. Because the

45
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 2: weather severely impacted the traffic.

46
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 3: We're at a point in history now where holidays have

47
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:50,919
Speaker 3: kind of gone like totally like I want to I

48
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 3: don't say any other word americanized, as if they weren't anyway.

49
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 3: But now it's like, do kids really have to put

50
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 3: us costume on?

51
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 2: Have you seen the curby your enthusiasms?

52
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:04,799
Speaker 5: Yeah?

53
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 3: When do they really have to do that? Do they

54
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 3: really have to come up and say trick or tree?

55
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 3: Or do they do or do you just you know,

56
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 3: just handle candy? Yeah? Man, whatever, Okay, I get it.

57
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:21,399
Speaker 3: But for me, you can handle anyway you want. Say,

58
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 3: you know what, turn your lights. My lights are out.

59
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:24,799
Speaker 3: I don't have any candy for you. I'm sorry.

60
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, you want some pennies?

61
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,519
Speaker 3: Right, That's what I used to get.

62
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 6: You.

63
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 2: Go to the old lady's house. You know, she's widowed,

64
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 2: she doesn't really get out much. She's probably not driving anymore.

65
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 3: She's the story candy.

66
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, so the poor lady doesn't have candy, and so

67
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 2: what is she throwing in there? She's throwing pennies in

68
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 2: your in your bag.

69
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 4: I remember those.

70
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 2: We used to get the pennies. What was the other

71
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 2: one I dreaded?

72
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 3: Gum?

73
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, sometimes gum and it was like a stick of gum.

74
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 2: You can't even give me the five actually, right, I

75

77
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 2: I hate candy corns. So when that got thrown in, I.

78
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 3: Was, may course pretty polarizing.

80
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:14,760

Speaker 2: Okay, well there we are.

88
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 3: It's like we're on an opposite.

00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:28,719
Speaker 2: On the opposite ends of the well, eating candy corns

90
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 2: like eating paper.

00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:07,360
Speaker 3: out of the sidewalk, run up to the house, come back,

104
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:09,000

Speaker 3: everybody's out.

107
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 2: I was unilaterally convinced that Buffalo was a drinking town.

108
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 2: Two a year after I moved to my current house

109
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:28,359
Speaker 2: in Lancaster, my kids are three and one and we

110
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 2: go around the corner trick or treating and the guy says, well,

111
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 2: if the adults say trick or treat, they get something too.

112
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:42,720

115
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:54,920
Speaker 2: beers to the parents on Halloween.

116
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 3: To circle back, we hit that house again. It was

117
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 3: on the way home. Really think about it. Where how

118
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,920
Speaker 3: far would Halloween deteriorate if it was like in July

119
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 3: when it was nice, it would yeah bad, Oh my god,

120
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 3: it would get bad.

121
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 2: My wife is proposing that Halloween be moved permanently to

Speaker 2: racing home from work, and you know what I mean. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

137
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:03,360
Speaker 2: twenty four hours concerning Buffalo's roster at the trade deadline.

138
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 2: We already knew that Leonard Fournette was being added to

139
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 2: the practice squad. He's out there for his first day

140
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 2: of practice today and trying to impress that weather does

141
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 2: not infect him. He's wearing the short shorts today showing

142
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 2: a lot of leg playoff Lenny were in jersey number

143
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:26,160

144
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 2: via trade. Rasul Douglas is well. As of this morning,

145
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 2: he was still in route because there are no direct

146
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 2: flights from Green Bay to Buffalo, so he's kind of

147
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 2: doing the airline connection deal. But physical was expected to

148
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 2: go well today and then they were hoping they could

149
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 2: at least get him out to watch the rest of

150
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 2: practice today. So he's a little delayed coming in. And

151
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 2: I saw, where did I see this? I saw we

152
00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 2: had his expected jersey number as well. Hold on, I've

153
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 2: got it right here. I got to pull it up

154
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 2: off the right window. Thirty one will be Rasuell Douglas's number.

155
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 2: So mark that down on your respective rosters. Get him updated.

156
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 2: In the event that he plays. Where is dressed on

157
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 2: Sunday night? We had tight it would be, it would be.

158
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 2: I don't think it's out of the realm with possibility though,

159
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:32,200
Speaker 2: that he dresses. You know, he's got experience in zone defenses. Yeah,

160
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:36,320
Speaker 2: you know, I only think he plays defense in an emergency.

161
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 2: But I wouldn't rule it out, wouldn't rule it out

162
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:43,680
Speaker 2: just yet. I mean, he's in shape, he's playing, he's

163
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:47,720
Speaker 2: been playing. He started seven games for the Packers, so

164
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 2: so there you go. We did hear from Bill's general

165
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 2: manager Brandon Bean prior to practice today. He addressed the

166
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:02,600
Speaker 2: media to kind of comment on the trade acquisition, on

167
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 2: Leonard Fournette and a host of other topics including Kyer

168
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 2: Elam and some other things concerning the team and where

169
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:15,320
Speaker 2: he feels they're at now at the midway point of

170
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:17,840
Speaker 2: the season. So we want to pass along some of

171
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 2: his more poignant comments to you. So we'll begin with

172
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 2: how the acquisition of Rasul Douglas came into being.

173
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 7: Takes the ball away. You know, he's really had a

174
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:32,080
Speaker 7: unique career.

175
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 8: You know, Philly drafts him, I think third round and

176
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:39,680
Speaker 8: didn't not everything was perfect there for him. He goes

177
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 8: down to Carolina, still wasn't great, but he went to

178
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:44,560
Speaker 8: Arizona's Peace God.

179
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 7: When he went to Green Bay, just light came on

180
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 7: for him. Started turning over some big plays and very instinctive.

181
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:54,760
Speaker 8: You know, you just we talk about instincts all the time,

182
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 8: and that really, you know, defining instincts is more the

183
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:02,560
Speaker 8: coach can show you everything, but sometimes the team's showing

184
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 8: you something else that the coach hasn't shown you.

185
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:05,960
Speaker 7: And do you react right away?

186
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:10,839
Speaker 8: You just instinctively know what to do because you understand

187
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:13,319
Speaker 8: how it all fits together as if you're a coach,

188
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 8: and some guys have that.

189
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:16,439
Speaker 7: Some guys don't.

190
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 8: If the coach didn't show it, they may not process

191
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 8: exactly how to operate a different look.

192
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:27,840
Speaker 2: He is very instinctive, right, and Brandon Bean said because

193
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:31,080
Speaker 2: of those instincts, it will help him get on the

194
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:34,480
Speaker 2: field faster on the defensive side of the ball as

195
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:36,960
Speaker 2: he picks up this system. He did admit that he

196
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,679
Speaker 2: does not know this system, is not familiar with it,

197
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 2: so there will be some study at work here for him,

198
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:48,319
Speaker 2: a lot of cram sessions with secondary coach John Butler

199
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 2: and others on the defensive staff over the next several days.

200
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 2: But Brandon admitted that he called Green Bay last week

201
00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 2: asking about Rasul. Doug Listen guten Kuntz, the GM of

202
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 2: the Packers, really didn't want to part with him. They

203
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 2: couldn't agree on terms last week. So it sounds as

204
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:10,199
Speaker 2: though the Bills raised the ante in order to get

205
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:12,680
Speaker 2: the deal done. And Brian gouten Kuz apparently just addressed

206
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,559
Speaker 2: the Green Bay media a short time ago and pretty

207
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 2: much admitted, Yeah, we were actually looking to add, not

208
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:23,680
Speaker 2: sell and you know, Brandon being convinced him like, hey,

209
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:27,600
Speaker 2: this is a good deal. Take it and we'll put

210
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:28,840
Speaker 2: more depth in our secondary.

211
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:30,680
Speaker 3: And it's it's interesting too because you got to think

212
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:32,600
Speaker 3: if these guys are like the rest of us, which

213
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 3: at some level they are. So some other guy who's

214
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:40,800
Speaker 3: your you know, your colleague from another team calls you

215
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 3: and says, hey, what about it? You probably have like

216
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:47,560
Speaker 3: we were, like Guda consent, he said, we're thinking about adding.

217
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:50,200
Speaker 3: Then have somebody come in from out of here and say, hey, listen,

218
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 3: we want this guy. He's like, I don't know, I

219
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 3: don't want to get rid of him. He says it's

220
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:56,720
Speaker 3: the number two corner, right, and he's like, I don't know,

221
00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:58,720
Speaker 3: I don't think so we're not going to do that.

222
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 3: And then say I don't think that's enough. So he

223
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 3: hangs up the phone. Then he says, calls the guys in, says, hey,

224
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 3: I just got offered this, this, this and this, and

225
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:09,719
Speaker 3: the coaching, you know, head coach, everybody comes in, the

226
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 3: coordinators even what about it? And they he gets some

227
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 3: a chance to bounce it off some guys who are

228
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:18,840
Speaker 3: in the locker room and they said, well, you know

229
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 3: that's you know, we help, let's think about it. Then

230
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:25,080
Speaker 3: the Bills call back and up the andy a little

231
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 3: bit and he's like, yeah, okay, because he got some

232
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:31,080
Speaker 3: reaffirmation from some of the guys in the building. And

233
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 3: you can imagine how it works. And I think in

234
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:39,440
Speaker 3: this point in history, we're finding out there's a lot

235
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 3: of conversations that happen all the time that we never

236
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:46,200
Speaker 3: hear about, never hear about, like this one with with

237
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 3: Douglas happened last week. Nobody would ever known.

238
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, but able to finalize it yesterday, And so Rasuel Douglas,

239
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 2: we'll be wearing a Bill's uniform going forward, and this

240
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:02,000
Speaker 2: kind of insulates them at the cornerback position on a

241
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 2: number of fronts for right now. Obviously because Kyrie Eelam

242
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 2: is dealing with a nagging ankle injury and we'll we'll

243
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:14,600
Speaker 2: get to that in a second, but also because you

244
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:17,120
Speaker 2: really don't know what the future holds for Trudevius White.

245
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 2: I think we all want to believe that Tradevius is

246
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:23,720
Speaker 2: going to be good at some point next year to return,

247
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 2: but that is an acl injury and an Achilles injury

248
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 2: to the same leg for a twenty nine year old

249
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 2: player playing a very one of the most difficult positions

250
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 2: to play in the game of football, which is mostly

251
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 2: in reverse.

252
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:39,720
Speaker 3: One of the most physically demanding as far as moving

253
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:40,679
Speaker 3: around the field.

254
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:43,720
Speaker 2: Particularly on your achilles and it's reactive plant and Drives's

255
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:46,560
Speaker 2: not like choreographed, it's reactive, so everything you do is

256
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:47,440
Speaker 2: free wheeling.

257
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:47,360
Speaker 9: You know.

258
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:50,439
Speaker 2: So next year, training camp, beginning of the season, I'm

259
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 2: not expecting Trey White to be out there, so you're

260
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:55,960
Speaker 2: still going to be down a man. Dan Jackson's a

261
00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 2: free agent after this season, so you really only have

262
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 2: Benford and Eel I'm under contract, and now Rasul Douglas

263
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:05,760
Speaker 2: who has one year left after this year. So to me,

264
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:08,480
Speaker 2: you kind of had to do something not only for

265
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:11,559
Speaker 2: the here and now, but even going into the off

266
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:16,000
Speaker 2: season and next training camp for that matter, because you

267
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 2: don't know what you're gonna have in Tredevious White next summer.

268
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 2: And that's no knock on Tredavious. You just you don't know, right,

269
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:28,680
Speaker 2: So that's why I think it's a now and and

270
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 2: a later type trade because the Bills are not in

271
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:36,320
Speaker 2: the business of doing rentals anyway. They never have made

272
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 2: a trade really for a rental player who's just gonna

273
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 2: be a free agent at the end of the year.

274
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 2: You see that more in hockey and other sports, but

275
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:44,880
Speaker 2: the Bills are usually not interested. And if you're gonna

276
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 2: give up a three, you're not doing it for a

277
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 2: guy to play nine games plus playoffs for you and

278
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 2: then be out the door. So he's under contract till

279
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:57,040
Speaker 2: next year. Brandon Bean also addressed the new practice squad

280
00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 2: addition Leonard Fournette and how he might fit in the

281
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 2: off A little bit down the line here once he's

282
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 2: up to speed.

283
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 8: I'm always trying to find competition. That's what that's really

284
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 8: what it is. This guy's a proven player, picked number

285
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 8: four overall in that seventeen draft, has had some success,

286
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:17,400
Speaker 8: same thing. Not everything worked out in Jacksonville for him,

287
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 8: but he he goes to Tampa and you know, Brady

288
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 8: and him clicked in that offense and you see what

289
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 8: you know. He's a bruiser. You know, he's a heavy,

290
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 8: heavy dude, mid two thirties. He looks good. I think

291
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 8: when when we were drafting him, I think we had

292
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:37,240
Speaker 8: him around two thirty nine to forties, a little bit

293
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 8: less than that right now.

294
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:41,480
Speaker 7: So yeah, just competition to the room. But he's gonna

295
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:42,360
Speaker 7: you know, he missed.

296
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 8: He doesn't know this playbook, and so I think it's

297
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 8: good to him to come in here start on the

298
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 8: practice squad.

299
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:49,640
Speaker 7: He's head down.

300
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:52,520
Speaker 8: Uh, he's been great, and so we'll take it one

301
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:54,400
Speaker 8: day at a time with him. And you know, no

302
00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:57,320
Speaker 8: promises on anybody's parts from that standpoint.

303
00:15:57,680 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 2: What was interesting though, that they said he'll start on

304
00:15:59,880 --> 00:16:03,880
Speaker 2: the practice squad, almost as if to indicate there's a

305
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 2: chance he'll be up on the roster in the not

306
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:08,720
Speaker 2: too distant future, provided he crosses all his t's and

307
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 2: dots all his eyes and shows you know, he knows

308
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 2: what he's doing.

309
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:18,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, this practice field, certainly, even this weekend, if push

310
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 3: came to shove, he could have a menu of plays

311
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:24,200
Speaker 3: he'd be ready to execute with all the nuances and

312
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:28,400
Speaker 3: all the checks and all that stuff. But let's face it,

313
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:30,840
Speaker 3: two weeks into training camp, most of these guys are

314
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 3: ready to play a game. So it won't be too

315
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:37,360
Speaker 3: much longer than that for him to be ready to

316
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:40,480
Speaker 3: go in and step up. One of the things you said,

317
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 3: he right, and when he came out in twenty seventeen,

318
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:48,200
Speaker 3: that's the year Jacksonville got all the way the championship game.

319
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, AFC title.

320
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:54,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, with Blake Bortles. And who is the coach there?

321
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 5: Was it?

322
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 3: Jack del Rio or Maroon Doug maroone? No, he wasn't

323
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 3: the head coach there. Maron pretty sure he was right,

324
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:06,080
Speaker 3: he was, That's right. And they go into Pittsburgh and

325
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:09,040
Speaker 3: lump up Ben Roethlisberger and those guys pretty good. I

326
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 3: mean they go right at him, hit him right in

327
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:13,399
Speaker 3: the mouth. And Leonard Fournette was a big part of that.

328
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:17,639
Speaker 3: He was a monster in his first year. And one

329
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:20,400
Speaker 3: of the things he brings to the to the table

330
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:22,800
Speaker 3: is you know we always we have these stuff going

331
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:26,359
Speaker 3: around the NFL. Now these angry runs. This guy runs angry.

332
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:30,120
Speaker 3: He runs, he runs with an attitude when he when

333
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 3: he wants it. He is really really good. So yeah,

334
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:37,200
Speaker 3: I'm I'm excited that they got him. He is a

335
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:40,399
Speaker 3: guy when he is on his game, is a difference

336
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:43,240
Speaker 3: maker for an offense. Yeah, So be interesting this sixth

337
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 3: or seventh year. Interesting to see what the future holds

338
00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:52,280
Speaker 3: for him. And as I mentioned, Rasul Douglas brought in

339
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:56,800
Speaker 3: here to add to the corner depth in part because

340
00:17:57,200 --> 00:18:01,320
Speaker 3: last week we saw Josh Norman up, Kyrie Elam down.

341
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:04,320
Speaker 3: He was on the injury report with an ankle injury.

342
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:10,160
Speaker 3: And this week Brandon Bean in being asked questions about

343
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:12,480
Speaker 3: Kye Elim and how come he's not getting on the field,

344
00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:16,680
Speaker 3: how come he's not dressing on game day, Bean led

345
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:19,200
Speaker 3: us to believe, based on his comment that you'll hear

346
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:23,800
Speaker 3: here that the nagging ankle injury may force them to

347
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:26,679
Speaker 3: give him a different designation and take him off the

348
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:28,040
Speaker 3: active roster temporarily.

349
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:28,960
Speaker 2: Here's branded on that.

350
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:33,439
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean, kyr not everything's been perfect, and he

351
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:35,480
Speaker 8: has he has had a nagging ankle.

352
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:40,800
Speaker 7: We're discussing whether to shut him down or not and let.

353
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:44,359
Speaker 8: It let it heal. So he has been a scratch.

354
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:46,600
Speaker 8: I wouldn't say he's been one hundred percent healthy scratch,

355
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 8: but it's you know, part of it has been you know,

356
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 8: it hasn't worked out perfectly. You know in the game

357
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:57,080
Speaker 8: so far he was inactive to start whatever until Trey

358
00:18:57,119 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 8: got hurt.

359
00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 7: But you know, still no that Kayer can play, and

360
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:04,080
Speaker 7: some of the same things I just talked about with.

361
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:05,960
Speaker 3: Rasseul.

362
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:08,679
Speaker 8: You know, not everything worked out for him. I know

363
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:12,800
Speaker 8: Josh Norman is here. You know, in Carolina we drafted

364
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:15,840
Speaker 8: Josh in twelve and I know there was a you know,

365
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 8: multiple multiple times we had to sit Josh down at

366
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:21,960
Speaker 8: just I believe it was middle of his third year

367
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:26,359
Speaker 8: where the light came on and the next year he

368
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:31,240
Speaker 8: really flipped the switch. So I'm still very hopeful. Kyer's

369
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:34,119
Speaker 8: here working hard. He's doing everything. You know, it'd be

370
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:37,159
Speaker 8: easy if he's you know, running the streets or or

371
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:38,760
Speaker 8: not in his playbooks.

372
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 7: He's doing everything.

373
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:42,679
Speaker 8: He's been getting treatment on the ankle around you know,

374
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:45,160
Speaker 8: pretty much around the clock. You know, when he's here

375
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:48,639
Speaker 8: and he's a pro, he wants to do well, and

376
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:53,000
Speaker 8: you know this this game requires confidence and things like that,

377
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:56,840
Speaker 8: and you know, things don't go well, you're naturally maybe

378
00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:59,240
Speaker 8: your confidence drops a little bit and you'd have to

379
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:00,680
Speaker 8: ask Kyer where that's at.

380
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:02,480
Speaker 7: But we're going to stay with him.

381
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 8: And again we're we're looking at everything, whether just now

382
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:12,560
Speaker 8: that we have you know, Rasoul coming in, maybe shut

383
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:14,200
Speaker 8: him down, let the ankle calm down a little bit.

384
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:18,480
Speaker 2: So he was asked to clarify that just so everybody knows,

385
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:22,359
Speaker 2: and yes, ir is going to be a consideration, but

386
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:25,560
Speaker 2: it would be to only miss the minimum of four games,

387
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,880
Speaker 2: you know, to get his ankle right and rested properly

388
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:31,879
Speaker 2: so he can be back for a stretch run. So

389
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 2: with Rasoul Douglas, I think once he's up to speed

390
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:38,159
Speaker 2: and they feel comfortable having him as an option on

391
00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:42,440
Speaker 2: game day, it might be then that maybe Elim gets

392
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 2: the designation for IR and you know, they rest him

393
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 2: for four games. That's what could happen, right, based on

394
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:50,000
Speaker 2: what Brandon Bean laid.

395
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:53,159
Speaker 3: Out, right, it comes down to Elim too, I mean.

396
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:57,480
Speaker 2: Well, right, And we should also mention that Brandon Bean

397
00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:01,639
Speaker 2: was asked, did you ever consider trading Kyrie Elam? And

398
00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:05,080
Speaker 2: he said no, very quickly, and they have no intention to.

399
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 2: It is their plan to make it work with Kyrie Elam.

400
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:12,359
Speaker 2: And so it sounds like, based on some of his

401
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:15,840
Speaker 2: own personal experience watching Josh Norman not blossom until year three,

402
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:20,879
Speaker 2: Rasul Douglass had a similar career path. You know, was

403
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:24,199
Speaker 2: in Philly, didn't work, went to Carolina, couldn't get on

404
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:26,800
Speaker 2: the field, was on the practice squad in Arizona. Green

405
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:29,240
Speaker 2: Bay picks him up in his fourth year and he

406
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:32,479
Speaker 2: blossoms and all of a sudden he's a starting corner

407
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:35,240
Speaker 2: he's got fifteen interceptions in his career, nine of which

408
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:36,960
Speaker 2: have come in the last two and a half seasons

409
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:38,000
Speaker 2: late Bloomer.

410
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:42,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's it's it happened. I mean, these guys

411
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 3: are human beings, and you know, you know how different

412
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 3: people are from different things, and when you get into

413
00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:48,280
Speaker 3: a situation where all of a sudden, some things click

414
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 3: for you and you've got some experience that you didn't

415
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:52,400
Speaker 3: have when you started, even if it is two years

416
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 3: on two different teams, and watching how people play and

417
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:57,080
Speaker 3: talking to other players and seeing how they do it,

418
00:21:57,760 --> 00:21:59,200
Speaker 3: and you just say, finally you get to a point

419
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 3: where you look yourself in the mere and say it's

420
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:04,680
Speaker 3: me or yeah, I can do this now or whatever.

421
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:09,720
Speaker 3: Something clicks Rassel. That happened for Rasoul and obviously in

422
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:13,560
Speaker 3: Green Bay, and we'll see if he can continue that

423
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:17,359
Speaker 3: in Buffalo. But that's that's why some of these.

424
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:19,439
Speaker 2: It's hard to stick with it.

425
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:21,960
Speaker 3: It's hard to give up on these guys. Coaching matters.

426
00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:25,360
Speaker 3: Coaching matters, and if if you're not going to switch coaches,

427
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:28,119
Speaker 3: maybe it is time to switch players. You know what

428
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:32,160
Speaker 3: I'm saying. Who knows? But coaching matters, and sometimes it clicks,

429
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:33,840
Speaker 3: and sometimes it doesn't for these guys.

430
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:39,440
Speaker 2: Brandon Bean also addressed the status of the team here

431
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:42,919
Speaker 2: at the halfway point and was asked for his assessment,

432
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:47,119
Speaker 2: and in his estimation, due mainly to the injury losses

433
00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:49,760
Speaker 2: on the defensive side of the ball, he feels this

434
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:54,280
Speaker 2: team is still working to nail down their twenty twenty

435
00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:56,080
Speaker 2: three identity.

436
00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:58,960
Speaker 8: Leaving this team and I believe, you know, I believe

437
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:00,359
Speaker 8: there's a lot of good things happen.

438
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:02,239
Speaker 7: I believe you know.

439
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:06,239
Speaker 8: Yes, we've lost some games, but we're not getting our

440
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:08,760
Speaker 8: doors blown off anything like that. If we were getting

441
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:12,679
Speaker 8: run out of the gym, I'd be concerned. We just

442
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:15,600
Speaker 8: all these games that you win or lose. IM mean,

443
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:19,280
Speaker 8: we've won some too that you go, man, we probably

444
00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:21,320
Speaker 8: left them in the game too long. Just some things

445
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:24,000
Speaker 8: you got to clean up. But this team is still

446
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:27,840
Speaker 8: forming its identity. And while we know a lot more

447
00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:31,399
Speaker 8: than we knew probably four or five weeks ago, I

448
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:34,080
Speaker 8: wouldn't say we know exactly where this team's going to be.

449
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:37,760
Speaker 7: You know, I think back to that twenty twenty one team.

450
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:38,440
Speaker 7: Middle of the season.

451
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:40,480
Speaker 3: We will win a game, lose a game, win.

452
00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:43,920
Speaker 8: We were still trying to interrupt and you face different

453
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:47,439
Speaker 8: adversity and when you lose, when you lose some guys

454
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:51,000
Speaker 8: at once, the way we did on defense, some leaders

455
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:57,159
Speaker 8: and different positions in Milano and Trey and Daikon, we're human.

456
00:23:57,240 --> 00:24:00,040
Speaker 8: Those guys are human. It naturally rocks you a little bit, like,

457
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:03,600
Speaker 8: all right, who's stepping up, who's doing this? And now

458
00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:06,320
Speaker 8: more guys are taking reps that weren't getting reps, whether

459
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:08,040
Speaker 8: it's at linebacker, DT, all that.

460
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:09,160
Speaker 7: Stuff, so it just takes time.

461
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:11,080
Speaker 8: I think the coaches have done a really good job

462
00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:12,680
Speaker 8: of getting the next guy.

463
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:14,200
Speaker 7: You know, it's next man up.

464
00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:17,960
Speaker 8: Easy easy to say, not always easy to pull off.

465
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:20,520
Speaker 8: But I think the more reps these guys that have

466
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:23,600
Speaker 8: these replacements that have come in for the guys I've mentioned,

467
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:25,959
Speaker 8: the better they get in the unit. Hopefully we can

468
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:27,960
Speaker 8: stay healthy, they'll get better and better.

469
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:30,159
Speaker 7: And same thing for offense.

470
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:33,480
Speaker 8: I think, you know, I thought they really showed some

471
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:36,760
Speaker 8: life last week in Tampa. It had been a little

472
00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:38,880
Speaker 8: bit of a you know, a rut, you know, since

473
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:39,720
Speaker 8: the London game.

474
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:42,800
Speaker 7: That wasn't a lot of fun the whole trip.

475
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:47,520
Speaker 8: But beyond that, well, you know, it is what it is.

476
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:50,600
Speaker 8: But no, I think long season ago, and we'll see

477
00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:52,520
Speaker 8: where you know, we'll see where it ends.

478
00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:56,320
Speaker 2: One last note to pass along. When asked about whether

479
00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:59,240
Speaker 2: or not he was in the market looking for defensive

480
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:02,119
Speaker 2: tackle help, knowing Dae Kwon Jones is out for the

481
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:05,040
Speaker 2: rest of the regular season, he said, yeah, I was

482
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:07,160
Speaker 2: making phone calls trying to see if we could add

483
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:09,960
Speaker 2: there as well put some work in, but nothing came

484
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:14,399
Speaker 2: of it. So he was looking, even though I think

485
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:18,320
Speaker 2: they're in pretty good shape there with poona Ford and

486
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:22,280
Speaker 2: some of the reserves they have behind Jordan Phillips and.

487
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:27,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, at Oliver, it's it's hard to find big bodies, man.

488
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:30,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're just scared big bodies the teams are willing

489
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:30,679
Speaker 2: to part with.

490
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:33,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's just hard to do now. Certainly you

491
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:35,919
Speaker 3: can find if a team is lucky enough, well like

492
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:38,160
Speaker 3: the Bills were at one time point in training camp

493
00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:39,560
Speaker 3: where you thought, man, they got a lot of guys

494
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:45,880
Speaker 3: that can have some chops. But even so, you can't

495
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:48,080
Speaker 3: find guys that are available and teams will not part

496
00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:50,080
Speaker 3: with them under any circumstances.

497
00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:53,160
Speaker 2: As you heard there, though, Brandon Bean said the team

498
00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:57,439
Speaker 2: is still looking to nail down its identity for twenty

499
00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:01,600
Speaker 2: twenty three. The injuries certainly compromised it to a certain

500
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:03,760
Speaker 2: extent on that side of the ball. But that's our

501
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:07,560
Speaker 2: question for you today. How soon do you think the

502
00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:11,040
Speaker 2: Bills need to find their identity this season? Took them

503
00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 2: a while back in twenty twenty one. They lost three straight,

504
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:18,639
Speaker 2: including the last of which was in Week fourteen in

505
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:21,119
Speaker 2: an overtime lost to Tampa. And then they won their

506
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:22,920
Speaker 2: last four and we're playing their best football of the

507
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:26,080
Speaker 2: year in the playoffs, perfect playoff game against the Patriots,

508
00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:29,680
Speaker 2: and then after that we know what happened in Kansas City.

509
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 2: But the point is when is it? When is the

510
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:36,920
Speaker 2: time for them to kind of find their identity, hit

511
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 2: their stride and just go because you always here, you

512
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:43,200
Speaker 2: don't want to peak too early. But we're in November now.

513
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:46,040
Speaker 2: The calendar has flipped to November. So you let us

514
00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:48,240
Speaker 2: know at eight h three zero five point fifty one

515
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:50,359
Speaker 2: eight eight eight five point fifty two five fifty the

516
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:52,800
Speaker 2: numbers to get on board open line for you, how

517
00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:56,800
Speaker 2: soon do the Bills need to find their identity for

518
00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:58,879
Speaker 2: this team this season?

519
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:00,880
Speaker 3: I feel like.

520
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:05,280
Speaker 2: They may have found a couple of things they can

521
00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:09,720
Speaker 2: hang their hat on offensively. Based on their performance last week,

522
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:11,399
Speaker 2: I don't know if they can go with such a

523
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:14,120
Speaker 2: simplified game plan against a team like Cincinnati this week.

524
00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:16,400
Speaker 2: They're gonna have to diversify that make it a little

525
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:19,440
Speaker 2: bit more unpredictable. I'm convinced that's part of the reason

526
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:22,440
Speaker 2: why the offense started stalling out in the fourth quarter,

527
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:24,400
Speaker 2: because Tampa had to read on what they were doing.

528
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:26,960
Speaker 2: As we heard Dan Orlovski on the show yesterday say,

529
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:30,240
Speaker 2: they only ran about ten to twelve different plays, granted

530
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:32,879
Speaker 2: from different formations, and they only had about seven or

531
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:36,520
Speaker 2: eight RPO plays that they ran. So by the fourth quarter,

532
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:38,880
Speaker 2: Tampa kind of had a beat on everything, and maybe

533
00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:41,840
Speaker 2: that's part of the reason they punted three times.

534
00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:43,239
Speaker 3: That's the way it was back in the day when

535
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:45,199
Speaker 3: we ran the no huddle. It was, you know, you

536
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 3: had a smaller menu, but because you could run them

537
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:49,280
Speaker 3: out of different we didn't run them out of different formations.

538
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:52,160
Speaker 3: You run the same play right, run the same play left,

539
00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:56,399
Speaker 3: but you only have, like you say, a dozen plays

540
00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:58,359
Speaker 3: or so, and you get to the end of that

541
00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:01,440
Speaker 3: list pretty quick. Now you also throw in some wrinkles.

542
00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:05,320
Speaker 3: I think if you're gonna do this. If this offense

543
00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:07,080
Speaker 3: that we saw against Tampa Bay is gonna be their

544
00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:11,879
Speaker 3: identity of their offense, there is the way to You

545
00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:14,000
Speaker 3: got this stuff under your belt. Now, now you can

546
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:16,600
Speaker 3: add two or three plays to it, and that takes

547
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:19,600
Speaker 3: the defense an extra two series to get a handle

548
00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 3: on it because they there's extra stuff in there. You

549
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:26,040
Speaker 3: can keep adding to it and let it steamroll. Then

550
00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:27,800
Speaker 3: by the you know in a month, now you've got

551
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:29,600
Speaker 3: a full offense that you can run it no huddle

552
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:37,280
Speaker 3: all the time. However, you gotta be ready when that

553
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:42,840
Speaker 3: team MIxS you. Like I said, they worked that no

554
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:45,520
Speaker 3: huddle well against Tampa Bay because they were on the

555
00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:48,480
Speaker 3: field and they stayed on the field. You gotta get

556
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:52,760
Speaker 3: first downs. That's where it comes down to. Yeah, it

557
00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:55,760
Speaker 3: won't take defense as long to catch up to the

558
00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:59,120
Speaker 3: concepts you're using if you start repeating them, even if

559
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:01,160
Speaker 3: you've got a different poor even if you got different

560
00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:03,360
Speaker 3: personnel in the field, which now they probably won't have

561
00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:07,320
Speaker 3: too many different as many different personnel combinations now without knocks,

562
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:11,160
Speaker 3: So you become a little bit more predictable because you're

563
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:14,320
Speaker 3: not changing personnel as much. And if you're running the

564
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:18,600
Speaker 3: repeating the same concepts even with different formations in different personnel.

565
00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:22,080
Speaker 3: We've said, We've talked about a lot, not lately, but

566
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:26,400
Speaker 3: when you become predictable, you become beatable and vulnerable.

567
00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:28,200
Speaker 2: And I don't think it can do that against one

568
00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:30,200
Speaker 2: of the best defensive coordinators in the league in lou

569
00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:33,560
Speaker 2: An Arumo in Cincinnati. So it's going to be half.

570
00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:38,040
Speaker 2: It's going to have to be a more diversified menu,

571
00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:44,920
Speaker 2: and you know, everything from tempo to formation, all of

572
00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:46,520
Speaker 2: that stuff is going to have to be a little

573
00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:49,360
Speaker 2: bit longer and more complex this week if you want

574
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:53,280
Speaker 2: to get the best of Cincinnati's defense. But how soon

575
00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:56,160
Speaker 2: do the Bills need to find their identity this season?

576
00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:59,000
Speaker 2: GM Brandon Bean said they're still looking for it. The

577
00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:01,800
Speaker 2: injuries that they say effort on defense compromised it to

578
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:05,040
Speaker 2: some degree. So how soon do the Bills need to

579
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:07,280
Speaker 2: find their identity? You let us know eight h three

580
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:09,640
Speaker 2: oh five point fifty one eight eight eight five fifty

581
00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:12,240
Speaker 2: two five point fifty. When we come back, we'll have

582
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:15,880
Speaker 2: the practice updates for you. Got some people that are limited,

583
00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:18,320
Speaker 2: got some people that aren't practicing, and we'll get to

584
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:23,040
Speaker 2: plenty of other details, including a certain prediction about who

585
00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:26,560
Speaker 2: the Bills may have acquired at the trade deadline from

586
00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:29,320
Speaker 2: yesterday's show. We'll explain when we return here on One

596
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:17,160
Speaker 2: week's game against the Bengals is presented by the BFLO Store.

597
00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:21,320
Speaker 2: The BFLO Store is the official retailer of the Buffalo Bills.

598
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:26,160
Speaker 2: We jump from that right into Bill's practice updates, which

599
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:29,080
Speaker 2: are brought to you by Lee Coom your Lake Erie

600
00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:35,480
Speaker 2: College of Osteopathic Medicine baile inspector Kyrie Elam not practicing

601
00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:39,880
Speaker 2: today due to hamstring and ankle injuries, respectively. Safety Tomorrow.

602
00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:43,760
Speaker 2: Hamlin also not practicing due to illness and then limited

603
00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:47,280
Speaker 2: in practice today Quinton Morris with that ankle, and Josh

604
00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:50,600
Speaker 2: Allen with his shoulder. When Brandon Bean was asked if

605
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:53,720
Speaker 2: Allen has experienced any setbacks with the shoulder ailment he's

606
00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:57,760
Speaker 2: been dealing with, he said no, and that limited status

607
00:31:57,760 --> 00:32:01,120
Speaker 2: today was part of the plan. As we said earlier,

608
00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:04,880
Speaker 2: Fournette is practicing, and as we have learned, Rasul Douglas

609
00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:07,200
Speaker 2: has made it to the practice field, so he's out

610
00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:09,640
Speaker 2: there taking in his first practice with the Bills, not

611
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:14,640
Speaker 2: participating right now, but is in attendance, So that's certainly

612
00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:23,080
Speaker 2: good news, Steve. Yesterday, during trade deadline day, we were

613
00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:27,280
Speaker 2: surveying the Bill's options in terms of who they might

614
00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:31,200
Speaker 2: be able to acquire, and we went through a list

615
00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:34,160
Speaker 2: of candidates with our good friend from Pro Football Focus,

616
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:38,600
Speaker 2: Brad Spielberger. And Spielberger brought up a bunch of names,

617
00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:43,440
Speaker 2: including some cornerbacks like Carolinas, Dante Jackson who did not move,

618
00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:47,320
Speaker 2: along with Jalen Johnson who the Bills were tied to

619
00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:50,760
Speaker 2: from the Bears. And after they we were done with

620
00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:55,520
Speaker 2: Brad Spielberger, I threw in another corner candidate on the show,

621
00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:59,000
Speaker 2: Let's listen in Green Bay's not having a great year.

622
00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:00,960
Speaker 2: You know, they don't have a lot of what are

623
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:03,080
Speaker 2: they three and five? I want to say maybe two

624
00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:07,480
Speaker 2: and six. So like Rasoul Douglas the corner up there.

625
00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:11,720
Speaker 2: I like him, a big, tall, rangy corner plays in

626
00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:16,000
Speaker 2: the zone and his cap figure is like less than

627
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:19,000
Speaker 2: a million right now. Wow, So I think he could

628
00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:21,440
Speaker 2: be an affordable option if they wanted to look at him.

629
00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:25,240
Speaker 2: Uh and has played in zone defenses before. And he's

630
00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:28,120
Speaker 2: also that tall, long guy that they like. He's six

631
00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:30,120
Speaker 2: two two oh nine as a nose for the ball,

632
00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:33,320
Speaker 2: so I kind of my eyes were kind of drawn

633
00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:34,200
Speaker 2: to him a little bit.

634
00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:38,760
Speaker 3: I'll say this. That was that was taped from yesterday

635
00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:41,200
Speaker 3: before the trade stuff come down. Let me say how

636
00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:43,840
Speaker 3: it works over here. I hain't nobody talking to Brownie

637
00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:46,120
Speaker 3: about who they're asking about trade. So that was totally

638
00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:48,680
Speaker 3: on it because we don't we are this.

639
00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:50,160
Speaker 2: That was a whiteboard special.

640
00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:53,880
Speaker 3: Thank's exactly right. That's us. That is us scrawling a name.

641
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:56,080
Speaker 3: You actually put it out in the air and called

642
00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:59,160
Speaker 3: out RASOULO. That's I gotta be kudos.

643
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:01,800
Speaker 2: And we and we hit We hit on Dean Marlow

644
00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:02,960
Speaker 2: last year too, That's.

645
00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:05,360
Speaker 3: Right, we did. We did hit on Dean Marlow two's

646
00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:07,480
Speaker 3: every once in a while we do. But that the

647
00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:10,120
Speaker 3: Razul Douglas, that'll go down as an old timer because

648
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:14,560
Speaker 3: I'll bet you there wasn't There wasn't a handful of

649
00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:16,680
Speaker 3: people in Western New York who even knew who he was.

650
00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:19,240
Speaker 3: And here you pulled him out. And I'm telling you,

651
00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:21,080
Speaker 3: people go, wow, you're in the building. You probably we

652
00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:22,560
Speaker 3: don't hear. They don't tell us.

653
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:25,360
Speaker 2: They could certainly nothing about that kind of stuff.

654
00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:27,799
Speaker 3: They could never They can't stay far enough away from

655
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:30,040
Speaker 3: us when they are talking about that kind of stuff.

656
00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:35,400
Speaker 3: And for you to pull Rasseul Douglas's name out, that's amazing.

657
00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:39,200
Speaker 2: You try to connect. Thank you, well, I'm glad you are, Steve.

658
00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:42,520
Speaker 2: That means proud of you. You try to connect the dots.

659
00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:45,080
Speaker 2: So you know, you look for somebody who's affordable, not

660
00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:47,400
Speaker 2: crushing their cap space.

661
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:48,400
Speaker 3: They're hard to find.

662
00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:50,880
Speaker 2: Who plays in zone defenses and who still has a

663
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:54,160
Speaker 2: little time left on their contract because the bills rarely,

664
00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:57,040
Speaker 2: as we said earlier, trade for rental players.

665
00:34:57,120 --> 00:34:58,160
Speaker 3: They don't do that.

666
00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:01,959
Speaker 2: Because the use isn't worth the squeeze on a rental player.

667
00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:04,160
Speaker 2: You're only gonna have for three or four months, so

668
00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:06,560
Speaker 2: they usually look for someone that's got time left on

669
00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:09,680
Speaker 2: their deal too. He checked all the boxes, so it

670
00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:13,160
Speaker 2: just kind of made sense just in terms of connecting

671
00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:16,120
Speaker 2: the dots. So glad we were able to point people

672
00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:19,920
Speaker 2: in that direction yesterday and boom goes the dynamite. So

673
00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:20,480
Speaker 2: there you go.

674
00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:23,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's a he's the kind of corner. We used

675
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:26,920
Speaker 3: to talk about this a lot. But you know, McDermott

676
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:27,720
Speaker 3: likes big dudes.

677
00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:32,120
Speaker 2: They love tall, long corners, they absolutely do.

678
00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:35,040
Speaker 3: So you know, Rasul Douglas fits that Bill to a t.

679
00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:39,400
Speaker 3: He's a big dude. So we'll that's here he is. Yeah,

680
00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:41,759
Speaker 3: and there's stuff on meat on social media. Now they've

681
00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:43,319
Speaker 3: got him out there. He's walking around, he's got his

682
00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:45,120
Speaker 3: thirty one. Yeah, we were just showing it on any

683
00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:48,560
Speaker 3: MSG viewers. Yeah, getting greeted by all the players and uh.

684
00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:52,200
Speaker 2: Jersey number thirty one. Let's go eight oh three five

685
00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:54,600
Speaker 2: point fifty one eight eight eight five fifty two five

686
00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:56,919
Speaker 2: fifty is the number to get on board here as

687
00:35:56,960 --> 00:36:01,600
Speaker 2: we are talking Bill's team identity. According to GM Brandon Bean,

688
00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:05,279
Speaker 2: it hasn't been nailed down yet for this season. How

689
00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:08,120
Speaker 2: soon do the Bills need to nail that identity down

690
00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:11,400
Speaker 2: so they know who they are going forward and play

691
00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:13,799
Speaker 2: like it. Each and every week we go to the

692
00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:16,920
Speaker 2: phones and leading us off today is Kevin and Hamburg.

693
00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:18,600
Speaker 2: What do you got first? Kevin, you're all one? Bill's Live.

694
00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:21,000
Speaker 10: Hey you guys, how you doing? Thanks for taking my call. Sure,

695
00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:25,759
Speaker 10: I think they'd better find it really fast. Every analyst

696
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:29,800
Speaker 10: in NFL TV or talk show or TV show always

697
00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:33,120
Speaker 10: has one thing to say every year, from Halloween to

698
00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:36,399
Speaker 10: the holidays to the end of the season, is where

699
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:40,000
Speaker 10: the contenders and pretenders are? They say it every year.

700
00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:43,360
Speaker 10: Maybe not those exact words, but pretty much the same

701
00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:47,080
Speaker 10: denominator business where you find out who is it going

702
00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:49,880
Speaker 10: to be crying in the end or smiling at the end,

703
00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:53,120
Speaker 10: hoping with the big trophy on their hands. We gotta

704
00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:58,040
Speaker 10: find it out now because if you don't, we're gonna

705
00:36:58,040 --> 00:37:02,319
Speaker 10: be one of the criers of the smilers. And this

706
00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:04,640
Speaker 10: is we got in the meat of the season's coming

707
00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:08,200
Speaker 10: up starting with this weekend. We better find it right quick.

708
00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:11,719
Speaker 10: We should have almost tried to find it, have been

709
00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:15,080
Speaker 10: future lost to the Patriot even though it was only

710
00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:17,719
Speaker 10: a boy four points. But we better find it. With

711
00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:20,439
Speaker 10: the Bengals, or it's gonna remember this is a team

712
00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:23,120
Speaker 10: that spanked us out of the playoffs, or we're gonna

713
00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:26,600
Speaker 10: come home with another spanking and not in the bills favor.

714
00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:29,319
Speaker 10: And then of course we got the Jets, and then

715
00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:33,919
Speaker 10: on the Broncos, the Eagles, you know the past, and yeah,

716
00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:37,400
Speaker 10: you know what I'm saying, this is when this is

717
00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:40,760
Speaker 10: when it's the Saint Hollywood, this is showtime for sure.

718
00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:44,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, you're right, Kevin, thanks for the call. That's

719
00:37:45,040 --> 00:37:46,920
Speaker 3: we've seen this happen too. And I went back and

720
00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:50,360
Speaker 3: looked there was that stretch in twenty twenty one.

721
00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:53,040
Speaker 2: Where they lost three straight.

722
00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:56,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, the Bills lost three straight and we two straight.

723
00:37:56,719 --> 00:37:58,160
Speaker 2: Well, no, I think it was three in o row.

724
00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:01,279
Speaker 2: Week twelve, thirteen and fourteen they lost three in a

725
00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:02,120
Speaker 2: row Felton, So.

726
00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:04,240
Speaker 3: They lost three of four in twenty one. They lost

727
00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:08,200
Speaker 3: to the Colts fifteen forty one. They beat the Saints

728
00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:10,440
Speaker 3: thirty one six, Then they lost to the Patriots, then

729
00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:13,000
Speaker 3: lost to the Buccaneers and they were seven and six,

730
00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:15,560
Speaker 3: and they went through a place where they they lost

731
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:21,120
Speaker 3: four out of six. Between weeks nine and weeks fourteen,

732
00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:24,320
Speaker 3: they lost four out of six and then they finished

733
00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:29,640
Speaker 3: the season with four straight wins over the Panthers, Patriots, Falcons,

734
00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:32,080
Speaker 3: and the Jets, and they finished with the flurry and

735
00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:34,479
Speaker 3: that's that's when they were at their best. So that's

736
00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:37,560
Speaker 3: kind of and I said this last year. Remember when

737
00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:39,160
Speaker 3: they got out of the gate last year is the

738
00:38:39,160 --> 00:38:42,359
Speaker 3: Super Bowl favorites. They were ever everybody's darling, and they

739
00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:45,600
Speaker 3: went to La crushed them. Tennessee shows up in Buffalo

740
00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:49,920
Speaker 3: and crushed And so everybody's the problem with that was

741
00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:52,920
Speaker 3: you gotta do that for four months.

742
00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:57,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's hard, and then all the injuries hit, and

743
00:38:57,040 --> 00:38:58,720
Speaker 2: then then tomorrow Hamlin's song happens.

744
00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:02,680
Speaker 3: Just hanging there, don't don't worry about the Let everybody

745
00:39:02,680 --> 00:39:05,319
Speaker 3: else worry about their schedule that but hang in there

746
00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:08,200
Speaker 3: and get to the playoffs. Crescendoing. I remember in twenty

747
00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:11,440
Speaker 3: one they got to the playoffs. They were completely healthy

748
00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:14,800
Speaker 3: and they were playing hot, right, and that that was

749
00:39:15,239 --> 00:39:17,760
Speaker 3: the year when we all thought that was their best opportunity.

750
00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:20,400
Speaker 2: Here's my question, what was the record after the first

751
00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:22,040
Speaker 2: eight games in twenty twenty one?

752
00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:25,040
Speaker 3: In twenty twenty one, after the first eight games was

753
00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:29,040
Speaker 3: hold on wait wait, one, two, three, four, five, six,

754
00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:32,359
Speaker 3: seven eight, they were Oh my gosh, they were five

755
00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:32,759
Speaker 3: and three.

756
00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:36,400
Speaker 2: Okay, da da da. Not a lot of margin for

757
00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:39,000
Speaker 2: error here at five and three with this gauntlet of

758
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:39,400
Speaker 2: a schedule.

759
00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:40,359
Speaker 3: But they had already had the bye.

760
00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:43,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, don't have you know the buys coming up.

761
00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:45,640
Speaker 3: The third loss was that week eight. It was the

762
00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:47,719
Speaker 3: Jacksonville game, the six to nine loss to what the

763
00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:50,960
Speaker 3: ugly ugly loss is when they hit that stretch and

764
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:52,520
Speaker 3: then all of a sudden things turned.

765
00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:55,640
Speaker 2: Back to the phones and to Jack and Ken morenex,

766
00:39:55,680 --> 00:39:56,239
Speaker 2: what do you got for us?

767
00:39:56,320 --> 00:39:56,560
Speaker 3: Jack?

768
00:39:57,600 --> 00:40:00,440
Speaker 5: There's a couple of things there. Gentlemen, just want to

769
00:40:00,440 --> 00:40:03,120
Speaker 5: say this, if we win the coin flip this week,

770
00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:06,520
Speaker 5: would you take the ball or would you go on defense?

771
00:40:07,080 --> 00:40:07,239
Speaker 2: Ah?

772
00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:10,160
Speaker 5: My opinion is I want to go on defense. What's

773
00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:10,760
Speaker 5: your opinion?

774
00:40:11,200 --> 00:40:13,040
Speaker 2: There's part of me that wants to take the ball

775
00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:16,840
Speaker 2: because I want to believe that they can be successful

776
00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:18,799
Speaker 2: on that opening drive when the Bengals don't really know

777
00:40:18,840 --> 00:40:20,879
Speaker 2: what's coming yet, you don't have a feel for you yet.

778
00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:24,520
Speaker 2: Get some points on the board and let your defense

779
00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:27,600
Speaker 2: go hunt because this defense is at its most effective

780
00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:29,880
Speaker 2: when they're up on the scoreboard and they can pass, run.

781
00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:31,840
Speaker 3: Jack, Jack I get the sense that this is different

782
00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:32,960
Speaker 3: than what you would usually do.

783
00:40:36,080 --> 00:40:39,680
Speaker 5: Here's another thing, Steve do. This is a week to

784
00:40:39,800 --> 00:40:45,400
Speaker 5: week league, okay, NFL means not for long Okay. And

785
00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:47,879
Speaker 5: I don't know if I told you guys before when

786
00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:52,160
Speaker 5: we played that Giants. I think that our boy Tyrod

787
00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:56,000
Speaker 5: called that play because he paid Buffalo back for give

788
00:40:56,040 --> 00:41:04,640
Speaker 5: him a three year contract. Yeah, for a three year contract,

789
00:41:05,080 --> 00:41:07,680
Speaker 5: I'm paying you back. I'll check off the land of scripts.

790
00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:09,399
Speaker 5: So maybe you guys can win this game.

791
00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:12,120
Speaker 2: Wow, that's a heck of a prediction.

792
00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:12,600
Speaker 11: I don't know.

793
00:41:12,760 --> 00:41:15,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, thanks so, Jack, But yeah, because if it was

794
00:41:15,239 --> 00:41:16,960
Speaker 3: entertaining though, it's good, I enjoyed that.

795
00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:21,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, I don't think so.

796
00:41:21,480 --> 00:41:22,359
Speaker 3: I don't think so either.

797
00:41:23,719 --> 00:41:25,359
Speaker 2: But yeah, there is a part of me that wants

798
00:41:25,360 --> 00:41:28,359
Speaker 2: the Bills to take the ball first if they get

799
00:41:28,360 --> 00:41:32,799
Speaker 2: that opportunity. That's not saying they're guaranteed to be successful,

800
00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:34,280
Speaker 2: But there's a part of me that kind of wants

801
00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:36,960
Speaker 2: the Bills to be playing from a head because I

802
00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:39,240
Speaker 2: think that allows the defense to play its best brand

803
00:41:39,239 --> 00:41:41,640
Speaker 2: of football when they're up on the scoreboard and the

804
00:41:41,680 --> 00:41:44,200
Speaker 2: other team has to go to the air. Now, the

805
00:41:44,239 --> 00:41:47,160
Speaker 2: Bengals may go to the air anyway. And there is

806
00:41:47,200 --> 00:41:49,200
Speaker 2: a part of me that does worry about Buffalo's pass

807
00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:51,799
Speaker 2: rush being rendered ineffective by the fact that Burrow gets

808
00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:55,359
Speaker 2: it out in two point twenty seven seconds on most dropbacks,

809
00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:59,880
Speaker 2: So there is that also, But I don't know, I

810
00:42:00,320 --> 00:42:03,160
Speaker 2: kind of want I just feel like the last couple

811
00:42:03,200 --> 00:42:06,640
Speaker 2: of times, the canceled game in January, as well as

812
00:42:06,640 --> 00:42:09,160
Speaker 2: the playoff game, the Bills were never on the front

813
00:42:09,200 --> 00:42:12,040
Speaker 2: foot against Cincinnati, and I'd like to see them on

814
00:42:12,080 --> 00:42:14,440
Speaker 2: the front foot and see how it changes the dynamic

815
00:42:14,480 --> 00:42:16,800
Speaker 2: of the game compared to what we've seen in the

816
00:42:16,840 --> 00:42:18,840
Speaker 2: two meetings last year. Yeah, you know what I'm saying.

817
00:42:18,920 --> 00:42:22,160
Speaker 3: I see it. Yeah. I don't remember who won the

818
00:42:22,200 --> 00:42:24,319
Speaker 3: coin flip in either one of those other games. I

819
00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:26,600
Speaker 3: think I think the Bills won it in Cincinnati on

820
00:42:26,640 --> 00:42:31,759
Speaker 3: Monday night because they got a field goal on the

821
00:42:31,760 --> 00:42:34,239
Speaker 3: first drive. They know, the Bengals went right down, scored

822
00:42:34,280 --> 00:42:36,680
Speaker 3: a touchdown. Bills came down, moved the ball extremely well,

823
00:42:36,719 --> 00:42:38,840
Speaker 3: but then settled for a field That's what I mean. Yeah,

824
00:42:38,880 --> 00:42:42,160
Speaker 3: and then Cincinnati came back and had like three plays

825
00:42:42,160 --> 00:42:44,440
Speaker 3: it was like seven yard, seven yard, seven yards, and

826
00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:50,239
Speaker 3: then the damar hit. So all of that stuff goes

827
00:42:50,280 --> 00:42:52,880
Speaker 3: into the mix. But I the coin flip isn't going

828
00:42:52,960 --> 00:42:56,279
Speaker 3: to decide the game. But I kind of get where

829
00:42:56,280 --> 00:42:58,960
Speaker 3: you're feeling, because whenever you get into one of these games,

830
00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:02,440
Speaker 3: you feel like every little thing matters, right, And this

831
00:43:02,480 --> 00:43:05,680
Speaker 3: is it's been a long time for Buffalo. In fact,

832
00:43:05,719 --> 00:43:07,920
Speaker 3: it's been twenty seven games since they were the underdog,

833
00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:12,520
Speaker 3: and they're I'm not a gambler at all, but they're

834
00:43:12,600 --> 00:43:14,720
Speaker 3: for the first time in twenty seven games. The Bills

835
00:43:14,760 --> 00:43:17,000
Speaker 3: are not favored to win this game. They're down at

836
00:43:17,040 --> 00:43:18,920
Speaker 3: like a point and a half to the Cincinnati or

837
00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:22,800
Speaker 3: whatever it is now, right, Okay, So so you feel

838
00:43:22,840 --> 00:43:26,040
Speaker 3: like so all of us kind of feel that ourselves,

839
00:43:26,960 --> 00:43:30,239
Speaker 3: and when you get into a game like that, you

840
00:43:30,239 --> 00:43:34,280
Speaker 3: always feel like every little thing counts, including the coin flip.

841
00:43:34,640 --> 00:43:36,399
Speaker 3: I mean, that's where we're all at here. We're all

842
00:43:36,400 --> 00:43:38,719
Speaker 3: backed into a corner mentally thinking the Bills are up

843
00:43:38,719 --> 00:43:40,520
Speaker 3: against it against the team that I don't know if

844
00:43:40,560 --> 00:43:42,719
Speaker 3: that we don't know if they can beat because we

845
00:43:42,760 --> 00:43:47,560
Speaker 3: haven't seen them beat them. Right, that's rare. This team,

846
00:43:47,640 --> 00:43:49,800
Speaker 3: this team is hard to beat. The Bills are hard

847
00:43:49,800 --> 00:43:54,279
Speaker 3: to beat, and teams who beat them usually just something else,

848
00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:56,840
Speaker 3: Like the last one was this Indianapolis Colts. Well, the

849
00:43:56,880 --> 00:43:58,399
Speaker 3: last one was the Bengals, but the last one before

850
00:43:58,400 --> 00:43:59,960
Speaker 3: that was Indianapolis Colts in twenty.

851
00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:01,400
Speaker 2: The only teams that have beat him by more than

852
00:44:01,440 --> 00:44:02,200
Speaker 2: one score.

853
00:44:02,080 --> 00:44:04,759
Speaker 3: Right during the regular season, like fifteen to forty one,

854
00:44:04,840 --> 00:44:06,799
Speaker 3: and that was because the Colts had a huge chip

855
00:44:06,840 --> 00:44:08,600
Speaker 3: on their shoulder from getting put out of the playoffs

856
00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:10,960
Speaker 3: by the Bills. Now do the Bills go walk in

857
00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:12,879
Speaker 3: there with that same chip on their shoulder and put

858
00:44:12,880 --> 00:44:14,560
Speaker 3: it to the Bengals. I don't know. You'd like to

859
00:44:14,560 --> 00:44:16,880
Speaker 3: think they got some of that in them, but I

860
00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:19,839
Speaker 3: think all of us know what we're looking at. Cincinnati's

861
00:44:19,880 --> 00:44:22,839
Speaker 3: a really good ball club and the Bills are gonna

862
00:44:22,840 --> 00:44:25,880
Speaker 3: have to play better than we've seen them play of

863
00:44:25,960 --> 00:44:27,399
Speaker 3: late to beat them.

864
00:44:28,160 --> 00:44:29,839
Speaker 2: Break time for us here, but more of your phone

865
00:44:29,880 --> 00:44:32,200
Speaker 2: calls when we come back. How soon do the Bills

866
00:44:32,200 --> 00:44:36,319
Speaker 2: need to find their identity this season? Your calls next

867
00:44:36,360 --> 00:44:37,800
Speaker 2: here on one Bills Live. Stay tuned.

868
00:44:55,719 --> 00:44:56,440
Speaker 3: He's at the.

869
00:44:56,440 --> 00:45:01,000
Speaker 2: Twenty the ten to five touchdowns snap dragging apples this

870
00:45:01,080 --> 00:45:04,280
Speaker 2: Bill season. Head to Wegmans and other local retailers to experience,

871
00:45:04,320 --> 00:45:08,160
Speaker 2: the epic flavor and monster crunch. If snap Dragon apples

00:45:08,600 --> 00:45:12,720
Speaker 2: the official apple of your Buffalo Bills, well thank goodness

873
00:45:12,800 --> 00:45:15,200
Speaker 2: for that. We got to get right back to the phones, though.

874
00:45:15,239 --> 00:45:16,880
Speaker 2: We we're asking you at eight h three oh five

875
00:45:16,880 --> 00:45:21,040
Speaker 2: point fifty. How soon do the Bills need to nail

876
00:45:21,080 --> 00:45:24,840
Speaker 2: down their identity for this twenty twenty three season. GM

877
00:45:24,880 --> 00:45:27,640
Speaker 2: Brandon Bean earlier today said they are still trying to

878
00:45:27,880 --> 00:45:31,440
Speaker 2: nail it down for answers. We go to Joe in

879
00:45:31,520 --> 00:45:33,759
Speaker 2: Williamsville next, what do you got for us? Joe? You're

880
00:45:33,800 --> 00:45:34,560
Speaker 2: on One Bill's Live.

881
00:45:35,120 --> 00:45:39,560
Speaker 6: Hey, Chris Steve, thanks for taking my car. My question

882
00:45:39,719 --> 00:45:43,560
Speaker 6: is about Fournette. With him being on the practice squad,

883
00:45:44,280 --> 00:45:48,319
Speaker 6: couldn't another team claim him and wouldn't he have to

884
00:45:48,400 --> 00:45:51,319
Speaker 6: go to that team or would the Bills have, like,

885
00:45:51,760 --> 00:45:53,880
Speaker 6: you know, would they be able to add him to

886
00:45:53,960 --> 00:45:56,000
Speaker 6: the back to roster right away.

887
00:45:56,280 --> 00:45:59,239
Speaker 3: Well, here's the thing. Leonard Fournette has been out on

888
00:45:59,280 --> 00:46:01,800
Speaker 3: the street for or like eight months, yeah, a couple

889
00:46:01,800 --> 00:46:03,880
Speaker 3: of months. So if anybody wanted him, they'd grab him.

890
00:46:03,880 --> 00:46:05,680
Speaker 3: They would have grabbed him or have been talking to

891
00:46:05,760 --> 00:46:08,880
Speaker 3: him already. Just because the Bills grab him doesn't mean

892
00:46:08,920 --> 00:46:11,120
Speaker 3: all of a sudden two or other even one other

893
00:46:11,160 --> 00:46:15,040
Speaker 3: team is interested in him. Now, if somebody else got

894
00:46:15,040 --> 00:46:19,319
Speaker 3: an injury, or if something happened and they had been

895
00:46:19,360 --> 00:46:23,080
Speaker 3: having conversations with Fournette up to this point and they said, Hey,

896
00:46:23,120 --> 00:46:25,160
Speaker 3: this thing happened that we had talked about, would you

897
00:46:25,200 --> 00:46:27,520
Speaker 3: be interested? Now, Fournette could say, yeah, you can sign

898
00:46:27,560 --> 00:46:30,200
Speaker 3: me off the practice squad, But I don't think that

899
00:46:30,239 --> 00:46:33,960
Speaker 3: would happen. Fournette picked the Bills as much as the

900
00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:38,319
Speaker 3: Bills picked him, and nobody's gonna pay him any more

901
00:46:38,440 --> 00:46:40,399
Speaker 3: unless they pay him a ton of money, which who's

902
00:46:40,400 --> 00:46:43,279
Speaker 3: gonna do that? Right? So, yeah, it could possibly, it

903
00:46:43,280 --> 00:46:46,920
Speaker 3: could conceivably happen. Yes, but because of the fact that

904
00:46:46,960 --> 00:46:51,080
Speaker 3: he's been a free agent, I would say that's not

905
00:46:51,320 --> 00:46:51,839
Speaker 3: likely at all.

906
00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:53,920
Speaker 2: Somebody wanted him, They could have had him anywhere in

907
00:46:53,920 --> 00:46:55,840
Speaker 2: the last two months, right, So I don't think the

908
00:46:55,880 --> 00:46:58,520
Speaker 2: demand is high. I guess it's probably the best way

909
00:46:58,960 --> 00:47:02,960
Speaker 2: to put that. We go to Randy in Buffalo next.

910
00:47:02,960 --> 00:47:03,920
Speaker 2: What do you got first? Randy?

911
00:47:05,360 --> 00:47:07,880
Speaker 12: Hey, I'm just wondering why beating him McDermot or so

912
00:47:07,960 --> 00:47:10,279
Speaker 12: hesitant to do anything at the trade deadline. I mean,

913
00:47:10,360 --> 00:47:12,680
Speaker 12: last year, Sam Brant went out, they got McCaffrey. This

914
00:47:12,800 --> 00:47:14,760
Speaker 12: year they go out and get Kate Young for a third.

915
00:47:15,280 --> 00:47:17,960
Speaker 12: We're signing some guy that flamed out three other places

916
00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:20,960
Speaker 12: before he caught on with green Bay, who had Jaii

917
00:47:21,080 --> 00:47:24,400
Speaker 12: Alexander on the other side, which helped ar Jaire Alexander,

918
00:47:24,719 --> 00:47:27,799
Speaker 12: which would be Tradavious is hurt. So he's not at one,

919
00:47:27,840 --> 00:47:30,239
Speaker 12: he's a two. And we did that's that was our

920
00:47:30,280 --> 00:47:32,000
Speaker 12: one move. That was it, and we picked up a

921
00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:35,240
Speaker 12: guy off for the Prentice squad. Fornette, I don't okay,

922
00:47:35,400 --> 00:47:37,359
Speaker 12: he's pretty much run into the ground. I mean, why

923
00:47:37,400 --> 00:47:40,120
Speaker 12: don't they do anything? They just kind of sat pat.

924
00:47:40,480 --> 00:47:43,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would respectfully disagree, Randy. First, first thing I'll

925
00:47:43,960 --> 00:47:47,960
Speaker 2: pose to you is how many number one corners are

926
00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:49,600
Speaker 2: available in the trade market.

927
00:47:50,719 --> 00:47:53,280
Speaker 12: Okay, but they they gave up a first for kayr

928
00:47:53,400 --> 00:47:56,360
Speaker 12: Elam just go after certain so we get wait.

929
00:47:56,440 --> 00:47:58,319
Speaker 3: Well they give first, what do you mean they gave

930
00:47:58,440 --> 00:48:00,480
Speaker 3: what do you mean they gave up a first for Kaylam?

931
00:48:01,640 --> 00:48:02,680
Speaker 13: We picked him.

932
00:48:02,560 --> 00:48:04,279
Speaker 12: In the first round and the guy can't even make

933
00:48:04,320 --> 00:48:06,279
Speaker 12: it on the field though, Like it's like that first

934
00:48:06,400 --> 00:48:08,040
Speaker 12: is really gonna do it? That that good of a

935
00:48:08,360 --> 00:48:10,239
Speaker 12: you know what I mean, they missed on that this

936
00:48:10,400 --> 00:48:13,120
Speaker 12: is a proven person. So you give up your first yeh,

937
00:48:13,200 --> 00:48:15,440
Speaker 12: but you got a solid guy that prove it well.

938
00:48:15,440 --> 00:48:17,640
Speaker 2: They didn't give up a first. He's still on the rosters,

939
00:48:17,680 --> 00:48:20,640
Speaker 2: so who knows. Maybe the guy catches fire next year.

940
00:48:21,000 --> 00:48:23,160
Speaker 2: I mean, look at the way Spencer Brown's playing in

941
00:48:23,280 --> 00:48:25,560
Speaker 2: year three, look at the way Greg Russseo's playing in

942
00:48:25,640 --> 00:48:28,040
Speaker 2: year three. Maybe he just needs another year on the job.

943
00:48:28,120 --> 00:48:29,960
Speaker 2: I mean, you want to write him off, that's your

944
00:48:30,120 --> 00:48:33,000
Speaker 2: that's your that's your opinion, and you're entitled to it. Randy.

945
00:48:34,200 --> 00:48:35,560
Speaker 2: I'm willing to wait on him a little bit.

946
00:48:35,640 --> 00:48:37,880
Speaker 3: And Brandon Bean said today they had no intention of

947
00:48:38,000 --> 00:48:39,520
Speaker 3: trading Kyir, so.

948
00:48:40,560 --> 00:48:42,440
Speaker 2: You know you got a solid number two corner. He's

949
00:48:42,480 --> 00:48:45,320
Speaker 2: got nine interceptions in the last two and a half seasons,

950
00:48:45,880 --> 00:48:48,160
Speaker 2: so he's been hilly.

951
00:48:48,280 --> 00:48:50,680
Speaker 12: He missed Arri's own it. He missed in Carolina.

952
00:48:50,800 --> 00:48:52,600
Speaker 10: Now he had Who.

953
00:48:52,440 --> 00:48:54,799
Speaker 2: The hell, Randy, who the hell cares what he was

954
00:48:54,800 --> 00:48:57,680
Speaker 2: doing four years ago. He's a good player now and

955
00:48:57,719 --> 00:49:00,200
Speaker 2: you got him now if you traded for him when

956
00:49:00,200 --> 00:49:02,640
Speaker 2: he was a cast off in Carolina. I would listen

957
00:49:02,680 --> 00:49:05,719
Speaker 2: to that argument. The guy's got nine interceptions in like

958
00:49:05,760 --> 00:49:08,600
Speaker 2: his last twenty four games, and I'll say there aren't

959
00:49:08,600 --> 00:49:10,319
Speaker 2: too many players in the league that have done that.

960
00:49:10,400 --> 00:49:14,680
Speaker 3: I'll say this too, Randy, that You're right, you can

961
00:49:14,880 --> 00:49:16,759
Speaker 3: you can lose patience with it. And they're like, but

962
00:49:16,880 --> 00:49:19,760
Speaker 3: think about this. You could have made the same argument

963
00:49:20,120 --> 00:49:23,640
Speaker 3: for both Ed Oliver and aj Panessau.

964
00:49:23,880 --> 00:49:25,680
Speaker 2: What did aj Panessa do the last three years?

965
00:49:25,760 --> 00:49:27,920
Speaker 3: Right? You could have made that exact argument for those

966
00:49:27,920 --> 00:49:31,040
Speaker 3: guys in those positions. And the reason teams hang on

967
00:49:31,080 --> 00:49:33,200
Speaker 3: to these guys is because they see him every day

968
00:49:33,200 --> 00:49:35,759
Speaker 3: and they see him getting better and they gain more

969
00:49:35,760 --> 00:49:38,200
Speaker 3: and more trust, and sooner or later, Kyrie Elan will

970
00:49:38,239 --> 00:49:42,960
Speaker 3: get a better opportunity with the Bills and be ready

971
00:49:43,000 --> 00:49:46,600
Speaker 3: for it. So, yeah, I get it. You're impatient. You

972
00:49:46,600 --> 00:49:49,160
Speaker 3: want the bills to you. You want them to trade

973
00:49:49,160 --> 00:49:52,960
Speaker 3: for patzer Tan Junior. You wanted to trade for Marshawn Lattimore.

974
00:49:53,239 --> 00:49:57,480
Speaker 3: You want them to trade for you know, uh, Jalen Ramsey,

975
00:49:57,680 --> 00:50:00,719
Speaker 3: you wanted to trade I get it. You just can't

976
00:50:00,719 --> 00:50:03,360
Speaker 3: get it done. And you can't get it done.

977
00:50:03,440 --> 00:50:06,400
Speaker 2: And that's the other thing Randy Brandon Bean said today

978
00:50:06,560 --> 00:50:08,720
Speaker 2: he was working the phones trying to get another defensive

979
00:50:08,760 --> 00:50:12,239
Speaker 2: tackle couldn't make it happen. And sometimes that's part of

980
00:50:12,280 --> 00:50:15,080
Speaker 2: the problem. Like everybody's like, get this guy, get that guy,

981
00:50:15,120 --> 00:50:17,080
Speaker 2: and get this guy. The problem is you can't just

982
00:50:17,160 --> 00:50:18,840
Speaker 2: check a box and bang, you got the guy. It

983
00:50:18,880 --> 00:50:21,440
Speaker 2: takes two people to make a trade. And what you

984
00:50:21,480 --> 00:50:23,160
Speaker 2: got to get that other side to agree And it

985
00:50:23,200 --> 00:50:26,160
Speaker 2: took him over a week to get Green Bay to

986
00:50:26,239 --> 00:50:28,960
Speaker 2: agree to this deal. Right, we probably had to sweeten

987
00:50:28,960 --> 00:50:29,600
Speaker 2: the pot to do it.

988
00:50:29,600 --> 00:50:31,600
Speaker 3: And think about the defensive tackle from the Giants. Was

989
00:50:31,640 --> 00:50:34,240
Speaker 3: it Quinn Williams or the other guy? What's that Leonard Williams.

990
00:50:34,280 --> 00:50:39,120
Speaker 3: Leonard Williams got picked up by Seattle. Seattle from the Giants.

991
00:50:40,480 --> 00:50:45,719
Speaker 3: They gave up like day one picks. They gave up

992
00:50:45,760 --> 00:50:48,880
Speaker 3: a two to two and something else and a five

993
00:50:50,200 --> 00:50:51,279
Speaker 3: for Leonard Williams.

994
00:50:51,760 --> 00:50:53,960
Speaker 2: Bill's gave up a three and got a five back

995
00:50:54,320 --> 00:50:55,680
Speaker 2: and got a starting corner.

996
00:50:55,880 --> 00:50:58,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, so like a starter you get number two.

997
00:50:58,400 --> 00:51:00,440
Speaker 2: Corner at Green Bay. And the other thing he said,

998
00:51:00,920 --> 00:51:03,759
Speaker 2: I'm gonna disagree with too salary. You said, because Jai

999
00:51:04,040 --> 00:51:06,200
Speaker 2: Alexander's on the other side and makes it easier for

1000
00:51:06,280 --> 00:51:08,680
Speaker 2: Raseul Douglas. Well, yeah, maybe because he gets to cover

1001
00:51:08,719 --> 00:51:11,280
Speaker 2: the number two receiver. But that doesn't guess who's getting

1002
00:51:11,280 --> 00:51:15,239
Speaker 2: targeted the whole game, Raseul Douglas. So it doesn't make

1003
00:51:15,280 --> 00:51:16,959
Speaker 2: it easier. You're getting a whole lot more action.

1004
00:51:17,320 --> 00:51:22,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, I get it. Everybody wants, you know, this blockbuster deal.

1005
00:51:22,880 --> 00:51:25,040
Speaker 3: And yet yesterday was the anniversary of the biggest trade

1006
00:51:25,080 --> 00:51:28,719
Speaker 3: in NFL history when Cornelius Bennett and a couple of

1007
00:51:28,719 --> 00:51:30,480
Speaker 3: ones and a two go to.

1008
00:51:30,640 --> 00:51:33,360
Speaker 2: L A, Eric Dickerson.

1009
00:51:33,120 --> 00:51:35,640
Speaker 3: Eric and for Eric and my and Greg Bell goes

1010
00:51:35,680 --> 00:51:38,200
Speaker 3: to l A with a Bills one and a two

1011
00:51:39,120 --> 00:51:43,560
Speaker 3: and then Indianapolis gets two ones one of Buffalo's ones

1012
00:51:43,560 --> 00:51:44,480
Speaker 3: and and.

1013
00:51:44,520 --> 00:51:47,000
Speaker 2: Gets Eric Dickerson, gets Eric.

1014
00:51:46,840 --> 00:51:52,719
Speaker 3: Dickerson, the Bills get Corneas Bennett. It was a ten

1015
00:51:52,960 --> 00:51:57,399
Speaker 3: player slash pick deal that brought And so everybody wants

1016
00:51:57,400 --> 00:52:00,279
Speaker 3: a deal like that. You know, you want a NS

1017
00:52:00,320 --> 00:52:01,960
Speaker 3: Bennett dealer where you can get a guy who's gonna

1018
00:52:01,960 --> 00:52:05,320
Speaker 3: play at an all pro Hall of Fame level for your squad.

1019
00:52:05,440 --> 00:52:07,120
Speaker 2: There's a reason only one of those has happened in

1020
00:52:07,160 --> 00:52:10,200
Speaker 2: the last thirty five years. Yeah, they're hard to do.

1021
00:52:10,440 --> 00:52:12,640
Speaker 3: They're hard to pull off. And it's three teams. That

1022
00:52:12,840 --> 00:52:17,160
Speaker 3: was three Think about that so yeah, kudos to Bill Polling.

1023
00:52:17,200 --> 00:52:18,839
Speaker 3: That's why he's in the Hall of Fame, pulling off

1024
00:52:18,840 --> 00:52:19,440
Speaker 3: a deal like that.

1025
00:52:19,760 --> 00:52:22,040
Speaker 2: Break time for us here, but Jay and North Buffalo,

1026
00:52:22,080 --> 00:52:24,040
Speaker 2: Mark and Tanawanda, hang tight, we'll get to you when

1027
00:52:24,080 --> 00:52:26,560
Speaker 2: we return. How soon do the Bills need to find

1028
00:52:26,600 --> 00:52:30,600
Speaker 2: their identity this season? They've traded wins and losses each

1029
00:52:30,640 --> 00:52:34,160
Speaker 2: of the last five weeks. Identity time Now in a

1030
00:52:34,160 --> 00:52:37,760
Speaker 2: week or two? When is the clock ticking for you? You

1031
00:52:37,680 --> 00:52:39,400
Speaker 2: let us know at eight oh three, oh five fifty

1032
00:52:39,719 --> 00:52:42,000
Speaker 2: as we begin our number two next here on One

1033
00:52:42,040 --> 00:52:43,440
Speaker 2: Bill's Live presented by Colida Health.

1034
00:52:43,480 --> 00:54:04,440
Speaker 14: It's Buffalo Bills Radio.

1035
00:53:25,760 --> 00:53:29,880
Speaker 1: The One Bills Live presented by Kalida Health.

1036
00:53:30,239 --> 00:53:33,240
Speaker 2: All right, here we are hour number two, and the Bills,

1037
00:53:33,400 --> 00:53:36,960
Speaker 2: according to GM Brandon Bean, still trying to find their

1038
00:53:37,040 --> 00:53:40,279
Speaker 2: identity for twenty twenty three was kind of thrown a

1039
00:53:40,320 --> 00:53:44,880
Speaker 2: curveball with the injuries to three defensive starters, presumably for

1040
00:53:44,960 --> 00:53:48,000
Speaker 2: the rest of the regular season. So you understand why

1041
00:53:48,000 --> 00:53:51,400
Speaker 2: they might still be searching for exactly what their identity is.

1042
00:53:51,960 --> 00:53:54,080
Speaker 2: But how quickly do they need to nail that down?

1043
00:53:54,239 --> 00:53:56,000
Speaker 2: We're already at the halfway point of the season. You

1044
00:53:56,080 --> 00:53:57,680
Speaker 2: let us know at eight h three oh five fifty

1045
00:53:57,680 --> 00:54:00,360
Speaker 2: open lines for you there. But in the meantime we

1046
00:54:00,440 --> 00:54:03,040
Speaker 2: lead off with Jay in North Buffalo. What do you

1047
00:54:03,080 --> 00:54:03,759
Speaker 2: got for us? Jay?

1048
00:54:04,719 --> 00:54:07,480
Speaker 15: Hey, guys, Happy Wednesday. Before I get into my port,

1049
00:54:07,520 --> 00:54:08,960
Speaker 15: I got to ask, do they make you guys take

1050
00:54:09,000 --> 00:54:13,279
Speaker 15: anger management courses before you get on the Yeah?

1051
00:54:13,360 --> 00:54:16,000
Speaker 2: We try. Deep breaths, Jay, deep breaths.

1052
00:54:18,120 --> 00:54:20,480
Speaker 15: It's great listening to you guys in terms of when

1053
00:54:20,480 --> 00:54:22,920
Speaker 15: they need to figure out the identity, it's it's yesterday.

1054
00:54:24,120 --> 00:54:28,040
Speaker 15: You know. The biggest issue for me this year is,

1055
00:54:28,760 --> 00:54:33,200
Speaker 15: you know, I think, by his own admission, coaches getting

1056
00:54:33,239 --> 00:54:35,120
Speaker 15: a little bit too involved in the offense. You want

1057
00:54:35,120 --> 00:54:37,200
Speaker 15: to come out, you want to run more twelve personnel,

1058
00:54:37,239 --> 00:54:38,960
Speaker 15: You want to control the clock more. You want to

1059
00:54:39,000 --> 00:54:41,080
Speaker 15: run the ball more, have more of a balanced approach,

1060
00:54:41,840 --> 00:54:45,960
Speaker 15: and that just we can see it doesn't work, you know,

1061
00:54:46,080 --> 00:54:50,000
Speaker 15: especially in today's NFL and more specifically with our current

1062
00:54:50,040 --> 00:54:53,440
Speaker 15: play caller and the talent that we have on offense.

1063
00:54:54,840 --> 00:54:57,600
Speaker 15: You know, I think when it comes down to what

1064
00:54:57,640 --> 00:54:59,719
Speaker 15: we need to do, we saw snippets of it last

1065
00:54:59,760 --> 00:55:03,960
Speaker 15: years night. You know, I will definitely say that the

1066
00:55:06,719 --> 00:55:09,479
Speaker 15: running the ball more with Josh was nice to see

1067
00:55:09,480 --> 00:55:12,440
Speaker 15: and it's small dose, but you know, I think it

1068
00:55:12,480 --> 00:55:15,440
Speaker 15: needs to be more. You know, let him cook. And

1069
00:55:15,600 --> 00:55:19,040
Speaker 15: in terms of the defense, you know, injuries happened, guys,

1070
00:55:19,120 --> 00:55:22,520
Speaker 15: and you know, I don't know if really letting your

1071
00:55:22,600 --> 00:55:26,160
Speaker 15: identity be altered because of losing some players I'll be

1072
00:55:26,280 --> 00:55:29,160
Speaker 15: at key players, is a reason to totally shift the

1073
00:55:29,160 --> 00:55:31,359
Speaker 15: identity of the defense. I think the defense has been great,

1074
00:55:31,400 --> 00:55:33,120
Speaker 15: and I think our problem is to spend the offense.

1075
00:55:33,360 --> 00:55:36,480
Speaker 15: So I'll hang up and just listen to your points

1076
00:55:36,520 --> 00:55:37,640
Speaker 15: and go bills.

1077
00:55:37,719 --> 00:55:39,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I'll let I'm gonna let Steve handle

1078
00:55:39,920 --> 00:55:42,640
Speaker 2: the offense. I'll handle the defense. I think the reason

1079
00:55:42,680 --> 00:55:45,919
Speaker 2: it compromise the defensive identity is you didn't just lose

1080
00:55:45,960 --> 00:55:47,840
Speaker 2: those three players to injury. You lost them for the

1081
00:55:47,840 --> 00:55:51,880
Speaker 2: rest of the season. And I think evidence of still

1082
00:55:51,880 --> 00:55:54,719
Speaker 2: trying to find that identity has been born out in

1083
00:55:54,760 --> 00:55:57,879
Speaker 2: Sean mcdermot's usage of the dime package, because the first

1084
00:55:57,880 --> 00:56:00,560
Speaker 2: two weeks he said, all right, let's see if Dorian

1085
00:56:00,560 --> 00:56:02,920
Speaker 2: Williams can step up. He got benched in two of

1086
00:56:02,960 --> 00:56:07,839
Speaker 2: his first three starts, and then Tyrell Dotson. While he's

1087
00:56:07,880 --> 00:56:12,280
Speaker 2: probably better against the run, he has limitations in coverage

1088
00:56:12,520 --> 00:56:15,480
Speaker 2: and we saw those exposed, and so what did he do?

1089
00:56:15,560 --> 00:56:18,800
Speaker 2: He had to change again, and thirty eight percent of

1090
00:56:18,840 --> 00:56:21,600
Speaker 2: the snaps last week they're in a dime package with

1091
00:56:21,719 --> 00:56:23,840
Speaker 2: Jordan Poyer up near the line of scrimmage and Taylor

1092
00:56:23,920 --> 00:56:26,080
Speaker 2: rap and Micah Hyde deep, although Michah Hyde came down

1093
00:56:26,120 --> 00:56:30,439
Speaker 2: and did some coverage as well. So the bottom line

1094
00:56:30,480 --> 00:56:33,200
Speaker 2: is this, you had an All Pro player in Matt

1095
00:56:33,280 --> 00:56:36,400
Speaker 2: Mulano at the second level of your defense. He's not

1096
00:56:36,520 --> 00:56:39,080
Speaker 2: there anymore, and they're still trying to find what their

1097
00:56:39,120 --> 00:56:43,200
Speaker 2: identity is without it and the best way to dial

1098
00:56:43,239 --> 00:56:47,200
Speaker 2: that up personnel grouping wise and play calling wise. I

1099
00:56:47,200 --> 00:56:50,880
Speaker 2: think that's why the identity has been tough to wrangle

1100
00:56:50,920 --> 00:56:53,520
Speaker 2: for them, particularly on the defensive side of the ball.

1101
00:56:53,600 --> 00:56:54,920
Speaker 2: Right now, why don't you handle offense?

1102
00:56:55,000 --> 00:56:57,759
Speaker 3: Yes, offense and identity is really what it is, is

1103
00:56:57,800 --> 00:57:01,000
Speaker 3: what you do best, and I think they're still trying

1104
00:57:01,000 --> 00:57:03,120
Speaker 3: to find that out. So, yeah, you're right, it'd be

1105
00:57:03,200 --> 00:57:07,000
Speaker 3: nice to find out what it is as quick as

1106
00:57:07,000 --> 00:57:10,040
Speaker 3: you can. But I don't think it should have been done.

1107
00:57:10,600 --> 00:57:12,520
Speaker 3: It's not necessary that it was done yesterday. It'd be

1108
00:57:12,600 --> 00:57:14,040
Speaker 3: nice if they knew what it was, but here's the

1109
00:57:14,120 --> 00:57:17,120
Speaker 3: thing what I'm looking at with this season. We've been

1110
00:57:17,120 --> 00:57:20,360
Speaker 3: talking about it early in the show. This you've got

1111
00:57:20,400 --> 00:57:22,800
Speaker 3: to start and crescendo towards the end of the year,

1112
00:57:23,600 --> 00:57:25,120
Speaker 3: and at the end of the year, you need to

1113
00:57:25,160 --> 00:57:29,720
Speaker 3: be playing your best football. Certainly, they're staying, they're hanging tough.

1114
00:57:29,720 --> 00:57:33,080
Speaker 3: They're five and three at the midway point. They're in

1115
00:57:33,160 --> 00:57:36,320
Speaker 3: the mix for the playoffs, in the mix for the division.

1116
00:57:36,360 --> 00:57:38,400
Speaker 3: All that stuff is still within reach. That's great, and

1117
00:57:38,440 --> 00:57:40,760
Speaker 3: you still got to stay there, no question. The one

1118
00:57:40,840 --> 00:57:44,280
Speaker 3: seed is great if if everything breaks your way and

1119
00:57:44,360 --> 00:57:46,160
Speaker 3: you're playing well and you got star players, you can

1120
00:57:46,200 --> 00:57:48,360
Speaker 3: get the one seed. If anything goes wrong, you're gonna

1121
00:57:48,360 --> 00:57:51,120
Speaker 3: lose it. So you know, I'm not putting my eggs

1122
00:57:51,160 --> 00:57:53,440
Speaker 3: in that basket. As for being the be all, end

1123
00:57:53,480 --> 00:57:56,080
Speaker 3: all is to make the season either. So I just

1124
00:57:56,120 --> 00:57:58,960
Speaker 3: think the Bills this, you need to make sure you're

1125
00:57:59,000 --> 00:58:01,160
Speaker 3: in the playoffs, and I want to be playing well.

1126
00:58:01,320 --> 00:58:05,120
Speaker 3: Then I don't care. I mean, I don't care, not care,

1127
00:58:05,200 --> 00:58:07,760
Speaker 3: but I mean they got to be playing well at

1128
00:58:07,760 --> 00:58:09,840
Speaker 3: the end of the season when the playoffs hit, that's

1129
00:58:09,880 --> 00:58:13,800
Speaker 3: when it matters for this team. This is not the

1130
00:58:13,880 --> 00:58:15,640
Speaker 3: drought team where you're saying, man, just give us a

1131
00:58:15,720 --> 00:58:18,520
Speaker 3: chance to compete late in the season, right, No, this

1132
00:58:18,560 --> 00:58:19,960
Speaker 3: is a team that needs to be hitting on all

1133
00:58:19,960 --> 00:58:24,680
Speaker 3: cylinders when the playoffs start. So and because when if

1134
00:58:24,680 --> 00:58:26,520
Speaker 3: the Bills don't know who they exactly they are and

1135
00:58:26,520 --> 00:58:29,960
Speaker 3: what they can do, neither does anybody else. So it's

1136
00:58:29,960 --> 00:58:32,800
Speaker 3: not like they're gonna get it like the Chiefs. How

1137
00:58:32,880 --> 00:58:35,000
Speaker 3: many people know what the identity of the Chiefs are? Yeah,

1138
00:58:35,040 --> 00:58:39,520
Speaker 3: I do, I do. It's Travis Kelce and Pat Mahomes.

1139
00:58:39,520 --> 00:58:41,200
Speaker 3: And now they're getting some play out of their defense,

1140
00:58:41,560 --> 00:58:44,640
Speaker 3: so everybody kind of knows where they're at. The Bengals,

1141
00:58:44,640 --> 00:58:46,960
Speaker 3: same thing. They got those three guys and Joe Burrow

1142
00:58:47,000 --> 00:58:48,680
Speaker 3: and you got to get them off the field somehow,

1143
00:58:48,680 --> 00:58:52,080
Speaker 3: some way. They're scoring some points. Their defense is salty

1144
00:58:52,120 --> 00:58:55,080
Speaker 3: and physical, and they got a good coordinator. I mean,

1145
00:58:55,400 --> 00:58:59,120
Speaker 3: people know who these teams are if but if they

1146
00:58:59,160 --> 00:59:02,040
Speaker 3: find that out, you know, they adjust that much more quickly.

1147
00:59:02,040 --> 00:59:05,520
Speaker 3: That's why this no huddle, fast paced offense was kind

1148
00:59:05,520 --> 00:59:08,640
Speaker 3: of It's pretty nice because we don't see that too oftense,

1149
00:59:08,720 --> 00:59:13,880
Speaker 3: especially this year. So I get this that we want

1150
00:59:13,920 --> 00:59:15,560
Speaker 3: to know what our identity is. We want to go

1151
00:59:15,600 --> 00:59:17,000
Speaker 3: out there, and certainly we want to go out and

1152
00:59:17,040 --> 00:59:18,760
Speaker 3: watch the Bills play like they did weeks two, three,

1153
00:59:18,800 --> 00:59:21,920
Speaker 3: and four this season thirty seven, thirty eight points, and

1154
00:59:21,960 --> 00:59:24,720
Speaker 3: forty eight points in those three weeks. Yeah, that'd be awesome.

1155
00:59:25,160 --> 00:59:27,720
Speaker 3: But man, it's a tough league, and the injuries hit

1156
00:59:27,760 --> 00:59:29,400
Speaker 3: and now you got to adjust and you don't do

1157
00:59:29,480 --> 00:59:31,480
Speaker 3: some things as well as you did. So that's where

1158
00:59:31,480 --> 00:59:35,080
Speaker 3: they're at. I don't identity identity identity. I get it,

1159
00:59:35,840 --> 00:59:37,200
Speaker 3: just be playing well at the end of this year

1160
00:59:37,200 --> 00:59:39,080
Speaker 3: when the playoffs start, get as healthy as you can

1161
00:59:39,120 --> 00:59:39,520
Speaker 3: get and.

1162
00:59:39,520 --> 00:59:41,360
Speaker 2: Go you got. You do have to win enough games

1163
00:59:41,360 --> 00:59:43,240
Speaker 2: to get there, though, And I think the general consensus

1164
00:59:43,240 --> 00:59:46,800
Speaker 2: now from fans is twelve personnel doesn't allow the Bills

1165
00:59:46,840 --> 00:59:50,200
Speaker 2: to score with the kind of frequency that they feel

1166
00:59:50,240 --> 00:59:52,200
Speaker 2: they need for the Bills to play their best on

1167
00:59:52,280 --> 00:59:54,280
Speaker 2: defense as well, which is to get after the passer.

1168
00:59:54,280 --> 00:59:56,600
Speaker 2: And I would subscribe to that myself. And that doesn't

1169
00:59:56,640 --> 00:59:58,920
Speaker 2: mean you just sell out and play eleven the whole game,

1170
00:59:59,240 --> 01:00:00,800
Speaker 2: but I think you probably play a little bit less

1171
01:00:00,800 --> 01:00:03,480
Speaker 2: twell personnel, particularly with knocks out of the lineup, and

1172
01:00:03,480 --> 01:00:06,240
Speaker 2: figure out a different way to score quickly so you

1173
01:00:06,320 --> 01:00:08,840
Speaker 2: can get up on the scoreboard and let your defense

1174
01:00:08,920 --> 01:00:11,080
Speaker 2: thrive with what it does best. Let's go back to

1175
01:00:11,120 --> 01:00:13,120
Speaker 2: the phones and to Mark and Tonawanda Nex. What do

1176
01:00:13,120 --> 01:00:13,600
Speaker 2: you got for us?

1177
01:00:13,600 --> 01:00:13,800
Speaker 4: Mark?

1178
01:00:15,240 --> 01:00:18,720
Speaker 16: Okay Fellows. Yeah, So I think this second half of

1179
01:00:18,760 --> 01:00:22,920
Speaker 16: the season going into this, we had to stop sacrificing

1180
01:00:23,040 --> 01:00:25,240
Speaker 16: points for the sake of balance. I think that's what

1181
01:00:25,560 --> 01:00:28,720
Speaker 16: that comes down to. And I was more surprised that

1182
01:00:28,800 --> 01:00:32,840
Speaker 16: the Bills put all seem to put all their eggs

1183
01:00:33,320 --> 01:00:35,720
Speaker 16: in the Daltonton Kate basket. And what I mean by

1184
01:00:35,720 --> 01:00:38,120
Speaker 16: that is that they are going to have to rely

1185
01:00:38,200 --> 01:00:40,400
Speaker 16: on him to be the number two option to Stefan

1186
01:00:40,480 --> 01:00:44,040
Speaker 16: Diggs in this offense, for this offense to take.

1187
01:00:43,960 --> 01:00:45,440
Speaker 6: Us, you know, to the super Bowl.

1188
01:00:46,000 --> 01:00:49,520
Speaker 16: And I don't have any faith in Gabe Davis. I

1189
01:00:49,560 --> 01:00:52,800
Speaker 16: know that according to Steve Casker, the Bills can do

1190
01:00:52,960 --> 01:00:55,880
Speaker 16: no wrong, and he has not proved himself to be

1191
01:00:56,040 --> 01:01:02,520
Speaker 16: a true number two receiver. And I just think that

1192
01:01:02,520 --> 01:01:06,680
Speaker 16: that their pick of the cornerback was a need. But

1193
01:01:07,320 --> 01:01:10,280
Speaker 16: we'll see. We're into a buzz sauce Sunday night. We're not.

1194
01:01:10,880 --> 01:01:13,360
Speaker 16: I don't think we're better than we were last year

1195
01:01:13,800 --> 01:01:16,800
Speaker 16: against this team going into this game and von Miller

1196
01:01:17,280 --> 01:01:19,960
Speaker 16: looks old and slow. I know it's the injury, but

1197
01:01:20,040 --> 01:01:22,120
Speaker 16: that's just a fact. I'm gonna have to listen.

1198
01:01:22,160 --> 01:01:22,480
Speaker 5: Thank you.

1199
01:01:22,640 --> 01:01:23,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's fair.

1200
01:01:23,960 --> 01:01:26,040
Speaker 3: I mean you can acknowledge all of that. Yeah, for sure.

1201
01:01:26,080 --> 01:01:29,720
Speaker 3: And I'll say this about Vaughn. I don't expect Vaughn

1202
01:01:29,760 --> 01:01:34,200
Speaker 3: to hit the gas until week twelve, thirteen fourteen.

1203
01:01:34,960 --> 01:01:36,760
Speaker 2: I thought you looked better last week.

1204
01:01:36,800 --> 01:01:37,720
Speaker 3: He's getting better.

1205
01:01:37,880 --> 01:01:39,200
Speaker 2: That's the best f seen in play.

1206
01:01:39,320 --> 01:01:41,160
Speaker 3: The thing that you have to know about Vaughn is,

1207
01:01:41,800 --> 01:01:49,400
Speaker 3: first and foremost, he's smart and he knows that it's hit.

1208
01:01:49,560 --> 01:01:53,280
Speaker 3: They need him in two months, not now right if

1209
01:01:53,280 --> 01:01:56,400
Speaker 3: they can still win games, certainly, obviously, but they need

1210
01:01:56,480 --> 01:01:58,760
Speaker 3: him to crescendo. At the same time, I was talking

1211
01:01:58,800 --> 01:02:01,360
Speaker 3: about the offense and all this other stuff, cushindoing. That's

1212
01:02:01,760 --> 01:02:04,040
Speaker 3: that's the timeline for Vaughan, and I think he knows that,

1213
01:02:04,320 --> 01:02:07,200
Speaker 3: and he's pointed towards that, and he's gonna he's gonna

1214
01:02:07,240 --> 01:02:09,400
Speaker 3: keep going because he is, like you said, he's getting

1215
01:02:09,440 --> 01:02:11,920
Speaker 3: better every week. So we'll see that. Uh kin Kaid

1216
01:02:11,960 --> 01:02:14,640
Speaker 3: is second option. I'm okay with that. Yes, I'm I'm

1217
01:02:14,680 --> 01:02:17,240
Speaker 3: with you totally. You're right. I think he has surpassed

1218
01:02:17,240 --> 01:02:21,160
Speaker 3: Gabe Davis in that pecking order. Uh, this is Gabe

1219
01:02:21,200 --> 01:02:25,200
Speaker 3: Davis's final year of his rookie deal. I think you

1220
01:02:25,280 --> 01:02:27,600
Speaker 3: gotta have a serious conversation about whether you can upgrade

1221
01:02:27,600 --> 01:02:27,960
Speaker 3: that or not.

1222
01:02:28,360 --> 01:02:29,040
Speaker 4: It's a good.

1223
01:02:28,840 --> 01:02:31,360
Speaker 2: Receiver class coming out in the draft this year, just

1224
01:02:31,920 --> 01:02:32,480
Speaker 2: cheap labor.

1225
01:02:32,520 --> 01:02:34,760
Speaker 3: We've seen every other team in the league draft a

1226
01:02:34,840 --> 01:02:37,040
Speaker 3: guy and all of a sudden, he's a house on fire.

1227
01:02:37,080 --> 01:02:37,240
Speaker 2: Now.

1228
01:02:37,240 --> 01:02:39,760
Speaker 3: Gabe came in and has done some awesome stuff for

1229
01:02:39,800 --> 01:02:44,800
Speaker 3: the club, but he disappears too often. And maybe that's

1230
01:02:44,840 --> 01:02:45,800
Speaker 3: not all his fault, but.

1231
01:02:45,880 --> 01:02:47,840
Speaker 2: Maybe it's a byproduct of the routes. They're making him

1232
01:02:47,920 --> 01:02:50,720
Speaker 2: run lower percentage throws deep down the field. Last week

1233
01:02:50,720 --> 01:02:53,800
Speaker 2: we saw him running underneath routes. What'd you get? Got

1234
01:02:53,880 --> 01:02:54,640
Speaker 2: nine catches?

1235
01:02:54,760 --> 01:02:58,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I'm I'm I'm all about that too. But yeah, Kinkaid,

1236
01:02:58,520 --> 01:03:01,880
Speaker 3: you're right, he is the He is I think a

1237
01:03:02,000 --> 01:03:04,640
Speaker 3: legit number two option for this offense and should continue

1238
01:03:04,680 --> 01:03:06,480
Speaker 3: to do so. And then the first thing you said,

1239
01:03:07,360 --> 01:03:12,480
Speaker 3: sacrificing points for balance, I'm with you. I'm one of

1240
01:03:12,480 --> 01:03:14,680
Speaker 3: those guys is that. Listen, let's score as much as

1241
01:03:14,680 --> 01:03:17,160
Speaker 3: you can let's score if they get the ball too,

1242
01:03:17,160 --> 01:03:20,400
Speaker 3: extra possessions because we scored on our two possessions.

1243
01:03:21,320 --> 01:03:23,280
Speaker 2: Hey make they can match it.

1244
01:03:23,320 --> 01:03:25,000
Speaker 3: See if they can match it because it's hard to

1245
01:03:25,040 --> 01:03:28,560
Speaker 3: do and the cornerback being a need, Yeah, it's not.

1246
01:03:30,200 --> 01:03:32,520
Speaker 3: Rasseul Douglas is not gonna help us Sunday night. As

1247
01:03:32,560 --> 01:03:35,120
Speaker 3: for sure. He's not gonna be ready and he's not

1248
01:03:35,120 --> 01:03:36,600
Speaker 3: gonna help us as much as he will be able

1249
01:03:36,600 --> 01:03:40,400
Speaker 3: even if he's on the field, which I doubt so. Yes,

1250
01:03:40,800 --> 01:03:43,240
Speaker 3: down the road, Rasseul Douglas might have been a brilliant

1251
01:03:43,280 --> 01:03:47,080
Speaker 3: move because the guy has really blossomed. But we'll see.

1252
01:03:48,240 --> 01:03:49,600
Speaker 3: But I'm kind of with you. That's a good call,

1253
01:03:49,640 --> 01:03:50,520
Speaker 3: Mark appreciate it.

1254
01:03:51,320 --> 01:03:55,560
Speaker 2: We have just learned that practice has ended, which means

1255
01:03:55,600 --> 01:03:59,600
Speaker 2: there are players at the post practice podium addressing the media,

1256
01:03:59,720 --> 01:04:02,640
Speaker 2: chief among them Josh Allen. So let's go there now

1257
01:04:02,680 --> 01:04:04,400
Speaker 2: to hear what Josh has to say. Knowing he was

1258
01:04:04,480 --> 01:04:06,640
Speaker 2: limited in practice today.

1259
01:04:07,040 --> 01:04:09,600
Speaker 17: Obviously in the sweatshirt and everything. You were, I guess

1260
01:04:09,640 --> 01:04:11,960
Speaker 17: supposed to be limited in practice today, were you or

1261
01:04:12,240 --> 01:04:13,439
Speaker 17: what did you do and work?

1262
01:04:13,880 --> 01:04:17,080
Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean talking with the training staff and just

1263
01:04:17,120 --> 01:04:20,000
Speaker 11: having a plan with Nate Bresky just obviously a lot

1264
01:04:20,040 --> 01:04:24,200
Speaker 11: of moving parts, but didn't do too much today, Just

1265
01:04:24,440 --> 01:04:27,480
Speaker 11: taking it easy and just making sure that, you know,

1266
01:04:27,600 --> 01:04:30,200
Speaker 11: put myself in best position for Sunday and making sure

1267
01:04:30,200 --> 01:04:32,760
Speaker 11: that I'm I'm not sore, So didn't throw a lot

1268
01:04:32,760 --> 01:04:36,760
Speaker 11: today and hopefully back tomorrow, be on fielding like nothing

1269
01:04:36,800 --> 01:04:38,280
Speaker 11: happened to kind of.

1270
01:04:38,200 --> 01:04:39,440
Speaker 10: Where that is now I knew it.

1271
01:04:39,480 --> 01:04:42,440
Speaker 17: You know, it's obviously taking multiple hits, So kind of

1272
01:04:42,480 --> 01:04:44,760
Speaker 17: how you feel now and where you feel you need

1273
01:04:44,760 --> 01:04:44,960
Speaker 17: to be.

1274
01:04:45,600 --> 01:04:49,600
Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean, obviously unfortunate. It's when it's your throwing shoulder,

1275
01:04:49,600 --> 01:04:52,520
Speaker 11: and as a as a thrower, you don't like filling

1276
01:04:52,560 --> 01:04:55,320
Speaker 11: any sort of I wouldn't even call it pain, just

1277
01:04:55,320 --> 01:04:58,600
Speaker 11: discomfort in there. And uh so we're just trying to

1278
01:04:58,600 --> 01:04:59,960
Speaker 11: stay on top of it and get ahead of it

1279
01:05:00,040 --> 01:05:03,600
Speaker 11: while we can. And obviously I hate not practicing, I

1280
01:05:03,640 --> 01:05:07,720
Speaker 11: hate not being involved in what we're doing. At the

1281
01:05:07,720 --> 01:05:11,200
Speaker 11: same time, I know this is probably what's best in again,

1282
01:05:11,280 --> 01:05:13,120
Speaker 11: just putting myself in the best situation to make sure

1283
01:05:13,120 --> 01:05:16,480
Speaker 11: that I'm ready to go tomorrow and for Sunday.

1284
01:05:16,640 --> 01:05:18,160
Speaker 17: Follow for me, do you have a sense that this

1285
01:05:18,280 --> 01:05:20,120
Speaker 17: is going to be part of a plan moving forward

1286
01:05:20,160 --> 01:05:21,120
Speaker 17: past this week or is.

1287
01:05:21,120 --> 01:05:22,040
Speaker 4: It like a week to week.

1288
01:05:22,680 --> 01:05:25,280
Speaker 11: I mean, I don't think it it's gonna linger too much.

1289
01:05:26,200 --> 01:05:29,640
Speaker 11: But again I think this was the best, best thing

1290
01:05:29,720 --> 01:05:33,040
Speaker 11: for sorry, best thing for me and making sure that,

1291
01:05:33,520 --> 01:05:35,520
Speaker 11: you know, just trying to stay ahead of it and

1292
01:05:36,320 --> 01:05:38,040
Speaker 11: not let this affect it long term.

1293
01:05:38,760 --> 01:05:41,760
Speaker 18: You do you feel like it's better right now than

1294
01:05:41,760 --> 01:05:42,600
Speaker 18: it was after.

1295
01:05:42,560 --> 01:05:44,200
Speaker 4: The game last week? Absolutely?

1296
01:05:44,240 --> 01:05:47,040
Speaker 11: Absolutely, every day gets gets so much better. And again,

1297
01:05:47,280 --> 01:05:49,840
Speaker 11: if I had to had to practice today, absolutely, what

1298
01:05:49,880 --> 01:05:52,200
Speaker 11: if the game was today, I'm playing in the game,

1299
01:05:53,520 --> 01:05:56,160
Speaker 11: but just in terms of making sure that it's not

1300
01:05:56,200 --> 01:05:58,440
Speaker 11: going to be super sore, and I want to be

1301
01:05:58,520 --> 01:06:02,240
Speaker 11: smart when when we're throwing it, and you know that's

1302
01:06:02,720 --> 01:06:04,480
Speaker 11: that's up to our training staff and you know, I

1303
01:06:04,520 --> 01:06:07,720
Speaker 11: trust those guys and gals and there implicitly and you know,

1304
01:06:07,840 --> 01:06:09,320
Speaker 11: just making sure we're on track for that.

1305
01:06:11,000 --> 01:06:11,760
Speaker 13: Filling the game.

1306
01:06:12,000 --> 01:06:17,240
Speaker 17: The playoffs, why didn't you come out of that the most?

1307
01:06:17,640 --> 01:06:18,240
Speaker 10: What did you take it?

1308
01:06:18,960 --> 01:06:19,600
Speaker 1: Yeah?

1309
01:06:19,680 --> 01:06:23,360
Speaker 11: Third downs we weren't good, you know, especially third and

1310
01:06:23,360 --> 01:06:28,040
Speaker 11: short areas where we felt like we we were efficient

1311
01:06:28,160 --> 01:06:32,960
Speaker 11: enough on offense, but again not putting together great performance

1312
01:06:32,960 --> 01:06:35,800
Speaker 11: on third down that that game obviously they had a

1313
01:06:35,840 --> 01:06:39,120
Speaker 11: plan to you know, change our eyes and and protection,

1314
01:06:39,280 --> 01:06:41,480
Speaker 11: and you know, whether they want to get back to

1315
01:06:41,520 --> 01:06:44,240
Speaker 11: that again, I guess we'll find out on Sunday. But

1316
01:06:45,440 --> 01:06:46,400
Speaker 11: you know, at the end of the day, it comes

1317
01:06:46,400 --> 01:06:48,760
Speaker 11: down to executing, and that's something that you know, myself

1318
01:06:49,080 --> 01:06:51,920
Speaker 11: and this offense didn't do well enough in the playoff

1319
01:06:51,920 --> 01:06:57,400
Speaker 11: game was execute. So you know, obviously the season's had

1320
01:06:57,440 --> 01:07:00,160
Speaker 11: a lot of ups and downs, and you know, we're

1321
01:07:00,160 --> 01:07:01,320
Speaker 11: just trying to take it one game at a time.

1322
01:07:01,360 --> 01:07:03,880
Speaker 11: And this is a really good defense that we're going against,

1323
01:07:03,920 --> 01:07:08,520
Speaker 11: and led by another Wyoming Cowboy, Logan Wilson, who's maybe

1324
01:07:08,640 --> 01:07:11,040
Speaker 11: the best linebacker in the game right now. He's flying around,

1325
01:07:11,080 --> 01:07:15,240
Speaker 11: he's super instinctive. Their front is is really good. They

1326
01:07:15,280 --> 01:07:17,480
Speaker 11: got four guys up front that can go, and I

1327
01:07:17,520 --> 01:07:20,000
Speaker 11: think they're playing really well in the secondary too and

1328
01:07:20,160 --> 01:07:22,960
Speaker 11: playing and tying it together with their D line and

1329
01:07:22,960 --> 01:07:25,320
Speaker 11: they're playing good football right now. So we got to

1330
01:07:25,320 --> 01:07:27,080
Speaker 11: be ready for whatever they can throw at us. But

1331
01:07:27,400 --> 01:07:29,440
Speaker 11: obviously it comes down to executing on Sunday night.

1332
01:07:30,200 --> 01:07:35,560
Speaker 17: Hey, what do you why is what do you think

1333
01:07:35,600 --> 01:07:37,320
Speaker 17: he does that makes things so different?

1334
01:07:37,880 --> 01:07:39,240
Speaker 2: Is he one of these multiple.

1335
01:07:38,880 --> 01:07:40,680
Speaker 11: I don't know you think, well, I mean, I think

1336
01:07:40,800 --> 01:07:44,160
Speaker 11: I think they do what they do, but a lot

1337
01:07:44,320 --> 01:07:46,440
Speaker 11: lots of coordinating is having the guys that they can

1338
01:07:46,480 --> 01:07:49,080
Speaker 11: go out there and play and fits the scheme.

1339
01:07:49,760 --> 01:07:50,080
Speaker 12: Well.

1340
01:07:50,640 --> 01:07:51,880
Speaker 11: So I think they got they got a lot of

1341
01:07:51,880 --> 01:07:53,400
Speaker 11: guys that are really good on that side of the ball.

1342
01:07:53,760 --> 01:07:56,000
Speaker 11: But he does a good job of, you know, making

1343
01:07:56,080 --> 01:07:59,000
Speaker 11: some some concepts look like man and getting out to

1344
01:07:59,120 --> 01:08:03,800
Speaker 11: zone and and really forcing the quarterback to to stay

1345
01:08:03,800 --> 01:08:06,720
Speaker 11: within himself and take the easy ones. And you know,

1346
01:08:06,760 --> 01:08:10,200
Speaker 11: a lot of times quarterbacks will get they'll they'll start

1347
01:08:10,200 --> 01:08:12,280
Speaker 11: pressing a little bit and start forcing the ball downfield.

1348
01:08:12,280 --> 01:08:13,680
Speaker 11: And they've been doing a good job of taking the

1349
01:08:13,680 --> 01:08:14,320
Speaker 11: ball away.

1350
01:08:15,680 --> 01:08:16,880
Speaker 18: Out it's a little break.

1351
01:08:17,160 --> 01:08:17,479
Speaker 6: Uh.

1352
01:08:17,520 --> 01:08:19,799
Speaker 3: And where would you where would you sort of assess your.

1353
01:08:19,680 --> 01:08:22,880
Speaker 18: Game at the midway point and then maybe the offense overall.

1354
01:08:23,680 --> 01:08:26,800
Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean, I think statistically, if you look at it,

1355
01:08:26,800 --> 01:08:31,240
Speaker 11: it's it's pretty dang good. And obviously sometimes stats can

1356
01:08:31,280 --> 01:08:34,640
Speaker 11: be skewed, and so he can't always trust those. They

1357
01:08:34,680 --> 01:08:37,679
Speaker 11: don't always tell the bigger picture. Obviously, there's been games

1358
01:08:37,680 --> 01:08:39,680
Speaker 11: that we want to score more and you know, we

1359
01:08:39,760 --> 01:08:41,680
Speaker 11: need to execute at a higher level, and you know

1360
01:08:41,720 --> 01:08:46,960
Speaker 11: that starts starts with me. But obviously, with you know,

1361
01:08:47,080 --> 01:08:50,720
Speaker 11: nine games left, we got to take it one game

1362
01:08:50,720 --> 01:08:52,240
Speaker 11: at a time, and we gotta we gotta play good

1363
01:08:52,280 --> 01:08:55,400
Speaker 11: complimentary football going forward because each piece of the puzzle

1364
01:08:55,760 --> 01:08:59,000
Speaker 11: feeds the next, and that's you know, offense feeding special teams,

1365
01:08:59,000 --> 01:09:03,080
Speaker 11: special teams feeding de fence in vice versa. So we

1366
01:09:03,200 --> 01:09:05,360
Speaker 11: got to be better in that aspect, uh, for this

1367
01:09:05,439 --> 01:09:08,760
Speaker 11: team to to win games. Jumping off the good of

1368
01:09:08,840 --> 01:09:11,719
Speaker 11: many buys, did you have a new back.

1369
01:09:11,600 --> 01:09:13,760
Speaker 9: Year old couple of vers youself around the season.

1370
01:09:13,760 --> 01:09:16,000
Speaker 3: And anything kind of soup?

1371
01:09:16,760 --> 01:09:17,040
Speaker 13: Sorry?

1372
01:09:17,080 --> 01:09:17,400
Speaker 3: What now?

1373
01:09:17,960 --> 01:09:20,040
Speaker 11: Just so many by Did you have a chance to

1374
01:09:20,120 --> 01:09:21,599
Speaker 11: kind of look back through your party?

1375
01:09:22,280 --> 01:09:24,240
Speaker 10: So you guys played, and is there anything that's out?

1376
01:09:25,120 --> 01:09:29,200
Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean, obviously, this this last game, I felt

1377
01:09:29,240 --> 01:09:32,320
Speaker 11: like we we executed at a pretty high level. Obviously

1378
01:09:32,680 --> 01:09:34,599
Speaker 11: there's some third downs that we wish we could have back,

1379
01:09:36,280 --> 01:09:38,560
Speaker 11: but you know, that's that's honestly what it comes down to,

1380
01:09:38,680 --> 01:09:41,479
Speaker 11: our guys and myself being put in the in the

1381
01:09:41,560 --> 01:09:44,519
Speaker 11: right positions and making the plays. And sometimes it's not

1382
01:09:44,640 --> 01:09:46,120
Speaker 11: so much about the x's and o's and it's the

1383
01:09:46,200 --> 01:09:49,639
Speaker 11: Jimmy and Joe's and going out there and playing together

1384
01:09:50,640 --> 01:09:53,240
Speaker 11: and like I said earlier, playing complimentary football and not

1385
01:09:53,360 --> 01:09:57,840
Speaker 11: putting our our defense and bad situations, you know, because

1386
01:09:57,840 --> 01:10:00,280
Speaker 11: every everything in this game is so predicated on that,

1387
01:10:00,439 --> 01:10:03,000
Speaker 11: you know, not turning the ball over, having good field position,

1388
01:10:04,080 --> 01:10:05,400
Speaker 11: and playing compliment in your football.

1389
01:10:06,720 --> 01:10:09,559
Speaker 2: All right, that's Josh Allen addressing the media, and maybe

1390
01:10:09,600 --> 01:10:11,680
Speaker 2: the most thing, most important thing he said is he

1391
01:10:11,720 --> 01:10:13,720
Speaker 2: didn't do a lot of throwing today in practice, and

1392
01:10:13,760 --> 01:10:15,920
Speaker 2: they have a plan in place put him in the

1393
01:10:15,960 --> 01:10:19,160
Speaker 2: best position for Sunday night, so there isn't discomfort and

1394
01:10:19,560 --> 01:10:22,160
Speaker 2: he doesn't think the injury is going to linger very long.

1395
01:10:22,760 --> 01:10:26,200
Speaker 2: But we go and transition from Josh Allen to a

1396
01:10:26,240 --> 01:10:28,200
Speaker 2: guy that catches a lot of his passes and caught

1397
01:10:28,280 --> 01:10:30,519
Speaker 2: six of them for a single game high ninety two

1398
01:10:30,600 --> 01:10:33,840
Speaker 2: yards in his career. Mister Khalil Shakir joining us in

1399
01:10:33,840 --> 01:10:35,960
Speaker 2: studio fresh off the practice field. Thanks for doing that.

1400
01:10:36,439 --> 01:10:38,120
Speaker 2: Didn't even take the pads off yet. I mean you

1401
01:10:38,200 --> 01:10:40,040
Speaker 2: came right here. Thank you for doing that. I got

1402
01:10:40,120 --> 01:10:43,320
Speaker 2: to stay warm, yeah, I mean, all of a sudden

1403
01:10:43,640 --> 01:10:45,120
Speaker 2: falls over what the heck happened?

1404
01:10:45,160 --> 01:10:45,280
Speaker 5: Right?

1405
01:10:45,560 --> 01:10:45,920
Speaker 4: Crazy?

1406
01:10:46,800 --> 01:10:49,840
Speaker 2: Okay, So why don't you tell me, because you know

1407
01:10:49,880 --> 01:10:51,920
Speaker 2: we've heard a little bit from Gabe Davis coming out

1408
01:10:51,920 --> 01:10:53,719
Speaker 2: of last week's game. I know you addressed the media

1409
01:10:53,760 --> 01:10:58,000
Speaker 2: after the game last week on Thursday night, but how

1410
01:10:58,080 --> 01:11:02,280
Speaker 2: does the offense feel about its self after that performance

1411
01:11:02,400 --> 01:11:04,679
Speaker 2: last week, which certainly got off to a much better

1412
01:11:04,720 --> 01:11:06,120
Speaker 2: start than the previous three games.

1413
01:11:06,360 --> 01:11:06,559
Speaker 4: Yeah?

1414
01:11:06,640 --> 01:11:07,000
Speaker 3: Really good.

1415
01:11:07,160 --> 01:11:09,320
Speaker 19: I mean obviously we got to keep going throughout the

1416
01:11:09,840 --> 01:11:12,720
Speaker 19: entire game as well, you know, keeping that the up

1417
01:11:12,760 --> 01:11:14,880
Speaker 19: tempo pace that we're going. We all we all love

1418
01:11:14,960 --> 01:11:15,240
Speaker 19: doing that.

1419
01:11:15,640 --> 01:11:16,800
Speaker 3: It works for us.

1420
01:11:16,880 --> 01:11:18,720
Speaker 19: So making sure that we just continue to build on

1421
01:11:18,800 --> 01:11:20,360
Speaker 19: top of that going into this next week.

1422
01:11:20,360 --> 01:11:22,320
Speaker 3: What was the vibe when Dawson goes down and you

1423
01:11:22,479 --> 01:11:24,160
Speaker 3: know he's gonna be like, okay, we're not going to

1424
01:11:24,200 --> 01:11:27,760
Speaker 3: have as much twelve personnel certainly that you know, Andy

1425
01:11:27,880 --> 01:11:30,200
Speaker 3: Isabella was up this last week, so you knew it

1426
01:11:30,320 --> 01:11:32,519
Speaker 3: was going to be a different kind of offensive game

1427
01:11:32,560 --> 01:11:33,080
Speaker 3: plan going in.

1428
01:11:33,320 --> 01:11:36,320
Speaker 19: Yeah, definitely. I mean us as receivers, no matter you

1429
01:11:36,360 --> 01:11:38,680
Speaker 19: know who's up going into the game, our job is,

1430
01:11:38,800 --> 01:11:40,519
Speaker 19: you know, whenever one of us gets a step onto

1431
01:11:40,560 --> 01:11:42,200
Speaker 19: that field, making sure that we take the most of

1432
01:11:42,240 --> 01:11:44,760
Speaker 19: the opportunity. I know Isabella was playing a lot of

1433
01:11:44,840 --> 01:11:46,840
Speaker 19: special teams and he killed it on that, but the

1434
01:11:46,920 --> 01:11:48,599
Speaker 19: rest of us, you know, whenever we were on the field,

1435
01:11:48,680 --> 01:11:51,320
Speaker 19: making sure that you know, we we continue to work

1436
01:11:51,360 --> 01:11:53,320
Speaker 19: at the pace that we had been planning to do

1437
01:11:53,400 --> 01:11:55,800
Speaker 19: throughout the whole entire week as well as I'm you know,

1438
01:11:55,960 --> 01:11:56,719
Speaker 19: just doing our jobs.

1439
01:11:57,000 --> 01:11:59,479
Speaker 2: There were a couple of plays in that game last

1440
01:11:59,479 --> 01:12:03,479
Speaker 2: week where it seemed like you guys had them crossed up,

1441
01:12:03,760 --> 01:12:05,760
Speaker 2: like the one where Josh found you late. That looked

1442
01:12:05,760 --> 01:12:08,080
Speaker 2: like a blown coverage from them. What do you think

1443
01:12:08,200 --> 01:12:11,280
Speaker 2: you guys may have done to cross them up a

1444
01:12:11,320 --> 01:12:13,200
Speaker 2: little and get them off their game.

1445
01:12:13,280 --> 01:12:13,840
Speaker 3: So to speak.

1446
01:12:14,040 --> 01:12:15,880
Speaker 19: Yeah, I mean, I think it was just the pace, honestly.

1447
01:12:15,960 --> 01:12:18,400
Speaker 19: I mean, when we're going that fast, it's kind of

1448
01:12:18,439 --> 01:12:20,800
Speaker 19: hard to get adjusted, you know, especially teams that like

1449
01:12:20,880 --> 01:12:23,240
Speaker 19: to mix things up, give us different looks and blitz

1450
01:12:23,240 --> 01:12:24,679
Speaker 19: a lot as well, show a lot of different pressure.

1451
01:12:24,680 --> 01:12:26,640
Speaker 19: When we're going that fast, it can be hard for

1452
01:12:26,720 --> 01:12:29,080
Speaker 19: them to communicate. So, you know, like I said, that

1453
01:12:29,120 --> 01:12:29,840
Speaker 19: works in our favor.

1454
01:12:30,200 --> 01:12:32,800
Speaker 3: What about what's the early returns on the game plan

1455
01:12:32,880 --> 01:12:35,479
Speaker 3: against Cincinnatium. Obviously they're playing at a high level. They

1456
01:12:35,560 --> 01:12:38,720
Speaker 3: got burrows now healthy, They've won three out of their

1457
01:12:38,800 --> 01:12:40,840
Speaker 3: last four. I mean, this is this is a big

1458
01:12:40,920 --> 01:12:42,760
Speaker 3: game going back into Cincinnati on Sunday night.

1459
01:12:43,040 --> 01:12:45,479
Speaker 19: Yeah, I mean, you know, there was a coach always says,

1460
01:12:45,479 --> 01:12:47,400
Speaker 19: you know, this is the most important game because it's

1461
01:12:47,680 --> 01:12:49,679
Speaker 19: it's the next one. So you know, it's our eyes

1462
01:12:49,720 --> 01:12:52,000
Speaker 19: are fully on Sincy, making sure that we, you know,

1463
01:12:52,120 --> 01:12:54,000
Speaker 19: deep deep dive into them and what they do what

1464
01:12:54,160 --> 01:12:56,240
Speaker 19: makes them so special on defense as well, then making

1465
01:12:56,280 --> 01:12:58,040
Speaker 19: sure that you know, we can create a game plan

1466
01:12:58,160 --> 01:12:59,840
Speaker 19: that that gives us the best chance to go out

1467
01:12:59,840 --> 01:13:00,439
Speaker 19: there do our thing.

1468
01:13:01,240 --> 01:13:03,600
Speaker 2: Coach McDermott said today when he addressed the media that

1469
01:13:04,320 --> 01:13:07,439
Speaker 2: you know, it's human nature going back into that stadium

1470
01:13:07,560 --> 01:13:10,160
Speaker 2: to not think of what happened with Tamar. But at

1471
01:13:10,200 --> 01:13:13,519
Speaker 2: the same time, there's there's a game to focus on

1472
01:13:13,760 --> 01:13:16,280
Speaker 2: and an opponent to be ready to play against. How

1473
01:13:16,360 --> 01:13:18,920
Speaker 2: do you as a player kind of compartmentalize that stuff.

1474
01:13:18,920 --> 01:13:22,000
Speaker 2: You don't dismiss it because, as coach said, everybody learned

1475
01:13:22,000 --> 01:13:24,080
Speaker 2: from it, learned a lot about life from it coming

1476
01:13:24,080 --> 01:13:26,559
Speaker 2: out of that, and you know, everybody's grateful that Tamar

1477
01:13:26,680 --> 01:13:29,120
Speaker 2: is great and he's okay now, But how do you

1478
01:13:29,240 --> 01:13:32,080
Speaker 2: compartmentalize that as an athlete to focus on the task

1479
01:13:32,160 --> 01:13:32,479
Speaker 2: at hand?

1480
01:13:32,680 --> 01:13:34,800
Speaker 19: Yeah, I definitely think, you know, it's something that we're

1481
01:13:34,840 --> 01:13:36,120
Speaker 19: all going to feel some sort of way when we

1482
01:13:36,240 --> 01:13:39,040
Speaker 19: get there, and I think it's you know, get there definitely,

1483
01:13:39,120 --> 01:13:41,320
Speaker 19: you know acknowledge it. You know it's it's okay to

1484
01:13:41,439 --> 01:13:43,760
Speaker 19: you know, feel it in a way. But you know,

1485
01:13:43,880 --> 01:13:45,120
Speaker 19: like we're, like you said, you know, we do have

1486
01:13:45,160 --> 01:13:46,680
Speaker 19: a game to play. Making sure that we get our

1487
01:13:46,720 --> 01:13:49,240
Speaker 19: mind back to focusing all on the game and make

1488
01:13:49,320 --> 01:13:50,479
Speaker 19: sure that, you know, we go out there and do

1489
01:13:50,560 --> 01:13:50,840
Speaker 19: our thing.

1490
01:13:51,520 --> 01:13:53,720
Speaker 3: Do you feel like you've kind of carved out your

1491
01:13:53,800 --> 01:13:55,840
Speaker 3: spot now that can you? Are you going to be

1492
01:13:55,840 --> 01:13:58,280
Speaker 3: able to duplicate last week's performance and have that become

1493
01:13:58,360 --> 01:14:00,719
Speaker 3: more of the norm rather than the exception I would

1494
01:14:00,800 --> 01:14:00,920
Speaker 3: like to.

1495
01:14:01,160 --> 01:14:03,800
Speaker 19: I mean, like I said, I've never been one to

1496
01:14:03,800 --> 01:14:05,760
Speaker 19: sit here and sit and say, you know, I've kind

1497
01:14:05,760 --> 01:14:07,519
Speaker 19: of carved my rollout and this is what I'm gonna

1498
01:14:07,520 --> 01:14:09,960
Speaker 19: do moving into the next week. But I'm definitely gonna

1499
01:14:10,040 --> 01:14:12,200
Speaker 19: keep working. I'm gonna keep working hard and like I've

1500
01:14:12,200 --> 01:14:14,680
Speaker 19: always said, whenever I'm on that field, taking advantage of

1501
01:14:14,720 --> 01:14:15,360
Speaker 19: that opportunity.

1502
01:14:15,760 --> 01:14:18,320
Speaker 2: I know, I asked you this after the game down

1503
01:14:18,360 --> 01:14:22,559
Speaker 2: in the press room. Yards after the catch was something

1504
01:14:22,640 --> 01:14:25,400
Speaker 2: that this team struggled with for three or four years

1505
01:14:25,479 --> 01:14:27,840
Speaker 2: to rank high in the league in that category, and

1506
01:14:28,280 --> 01:14:31,040
Speaker 2: Steve and I have speculated some of it's because Josh

1507
01:14:31,080 --> 01:14:33,040
Speaker 2: it's kind of a put it on your quarterback, not

1508
01:14:33,160 --> 01:14:35,400
Speaker 2: a lead you to space quarterback all the time. He'll

1509
01:14:35,479 --> 01:14:38,400
Speaker 2: just stick it right between your numbers and bury it

1510
01:14:38,479 --> 01:14:43,040
Speaker 2: on your chest even in tight coverage. For some reason,

1511
01:14:43,520 --> 01:14:47,040
Speaker 2: that has changed. You guys have successfully raised the bar

1512
01:14:47,280 --> 01:14:48,920
Speaker 2: on yards after catch. I think you guys are in

1513
01:14:48,960 --> 01:14:51,200
Speaker 2: the top ten in the league right now in total

1514
01:14:51,280 --> 01:14:53,360
Speaker 2: yards after the catch on the season. What do you

1515
01:14:53,520 --> 01:14:56,880
Speaker 2: feel has led to that change for the better?

1516
01:14:57,400 --> 01:14:58,519
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that's definitely.

1517
01:14:58,880 --> 01:15:01,840
Speaker 19: You know, Dorsey making making that a point every single week,

1518
01:15:02,280 --> 01:15:04,960
Speaker 19: you know, starting off our meetings with saying, Rack, you know,

1519
01:15:05,040 --> 01:15:06,960
Speaker 19: that's one of one of his main points every single week.

1520
01:15:07,040 --> 01:15:08,880
Speaker 19: So you know we hear it from him. Well, we

1521
01:15:09,040 --> 01:15:10,840
Speaker 19: know that, you know what, we know what it's been

1522
01:15:10,880 --> 01:15:13,479
Speaker 19: in the past. So definitely making sure that you know

1523
01:15:13,520 --> 01:15:16,160
Speaker 19: when we get out there, even in practice when the

1524
01:15:16,240 --> 01:15:17,960
Speaker 19: temples and you know, not full speed or whatever, when

1525
01:15:18,000 --> 01:15:19,400
Speaker 19: you catch the ball, get a field, you know, it's

1526
01:15:19,439 --> 01:15:21,960
Speaker 19: just those practicing those habits, those little habits every single

1527
01:15:22,040 --> 01:15:22,920
Speaker 19: day lead into the game.

1528
01:15:23,600 --> 01:15:25,920
Speaker 3: Khalil's good seeing you, Thanks for coming to Congratulations a

1529
01:15:25,960 --> 01:15:28,360
Speaker 3: great game, Keep it up and we hope bigger and

1530
01:15:28,439 --> 01:15:30,800
Speaker 3: better things are just around the corner too. Yep, thanks

1531
01:15:30,840 --> 01:15:31,760
Speaker 3: for having me all right.

01:16:02,680 --> 01:16:07,960
Speaker 2: official ticket marketplace of the NFL. Got to get back

1537
01:16:08,000 --> 01:16:09,800
Speaker 2: to the phones though. At eight oh three zero five

1538
01:16:09,840 --> 01:16:12,559
Speaker 2: point fifty one eight eight eight five fifty two five

1539
01:16:12,680 --> 01:16:15,479
Speaker 2: fifty the number to get on board, and next up

1540
01:16:15,520 --> 01:16:18,960
Speaker 2: here is Jason in Rhode Island. Let me get him

1541
01:16:19,000 --> 01:16:19,240
Speaker 2: up here.

1542
01:16:20,240 --> 01:16:20,840
Speaker 3: What you got for us?

1543
01:16:20,920 --> 01:16:22,000
Speaker 2: Jason, you're on One Bills Live.

1544
01:16:23,400 --> 01:16:25,200
Speaker 13: Hey Christmas, Steve, thanks chicking my call.

1545
01:16:25,360 --> 01:16:25,559
Speaker 3: Sure.

1546
01:16:26,240 --> 01:16:28,120
Speaker 13: I want to say I think they really need to

1547
01:16:28,479 --> 01:16:32,760
Speaker 13: start establishing an identity this weekend against Cincinnati and a

1548
01:16:32,840 --> 01:16:33,519
Speaker 13: couple of reasons.

1549
01:16:33,600 --> 01:16:35,160
Speaker 5: Why so.

1550
01:16:35,479 --> 01:16:39,559
Speaker 13: Cincinnati starts a three game conference stretch for him. They're

1551
01:16:39,600 --> 01:16:41,680
Speaker 13: two and three in the conference right now, and sure

1552
01:16:41,720 --> 01:16:44,240
Speaker 13: would be nice to have a home playoff game. But

1553
01:16:44,320 --> 01:16:47,760
Speaker 13: the other reason is you need to start establishing an

1554
01:16:47,800 --> 01:16:50,400
Speaker 13: identity now so you can really kind of hone it

1555
01:16:50,439 --> 01:16:52,719
Speaker 13: in and as Steve says, start playing your best football

1556
01:16:52,720 --> 01:16:54,760
Speaker 13: at the end of the season. It's not like a

1557
01:16:54,800 --> 01:16:56,960
Speaker 13: light bulb goes off and everything works better. I think

1558
01:16:57,000 --> 01:16:59,880
Speaker 13: you really need to start establishing it, honing it in

1559
01:17:00,120 --> 01:17:02,840
Speaker 13: and refining it and then hopefully the humming along the

1560
01:17:02,920 --> 01:17:06,759
Speaker 13: last few games. So, and not to mention, Cincinnati seems

1561
01:17:06,760 --> 01:17:08,320
Speaker 13: to have our number here, so it'd be nice to

1562
01:17:08,439 --> 01:17:11,320
Speaker 13: see some traction on that front this weekend.

1563
01:17:11,960 --> 01:17:14,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's because the the identity thing. I mean, a

1564
01:17:15,000 --> 01:17:16,680
Speaker 3: lot of people, I mean most of us are, you know,

1565
01:17:16,800 --> 01:17:18,240
Speaker 3: kind of think of the offense when we do it.

1566
01:17:18,240 --> 01:17:20,760
Speaker 3: And it's easy to see why they may have lost

1567
01:17:20,840 --> 01:17:23,960
Speaker 3: their way. I when you talk about their identity, because

1568
01:17:24,000 --> 01:17:25,559
Speaker 3: you know, Knox goes down and all of a sudden,

1569
01:17:25,600 --> 01:17:28,280
Speaker 3: all this twelve personnel, thirty eight percent of their snaps

1570
01:17:28,840 --> 01:17:32,080
Speaker 3: goes away. So now what are they gonna do. They're

1571
01:17:32,120 --> 01:17:37,680
Speaker 3: gonna plug in kyr Khalils Shakir and go there and say, well,

1572
01:17:37,880 --> 01:17:43,479
Speaker 3: how's that gonna work? And it worked good against Tampa

1573
01:17:43,560 --> 01:17:46,080
Speaker 3: Bay for three quarters for yeah, and then you know

1574
01:17:46,120 --> 01:17:47,960
Speaker 3: that kind of is it going to is it going

1575
01:17:48,040 --> 01:17:49,800
Speaker 3: to be sustainable? Are they going to be able to

1576
01:17:49,920 --> 01:17:54,320
Speaker 3: do that? You know, they only scored twenty four points

1577
01:17:55,080 --> 01:17:57,720
Speaker 3: and it felt like they ran out of gas at

1578
01:17:57,720 --> 01:18:00,920
Speaker 3: the end of that game. Now, maybe some of that

1579
01:18:01,160 --> 01:18:05,240
Speaker 3: was philosophical or whatever. Short week, short week and all

1580
01:18:05,360 --> 01:18:08,320
Speaker 3: that stuff, Okay, but yeah, you'd like to see one

1581
01:18:08,439 --> 01:18:10,080
Speaker 3: You'd like to see him go to thirty one there

1582
01:18:10,479 --> 01:18:12,439
Speaker 3: getting the end zone one more time when it and

1583
01:18:12,520 --> 01:18:15,680
Speaker 3: it would have been thirty one ten, you know, when

1584
01:18:15,720 --> 01:18:18,000
Speaker 3: they were able to do that, and then Tampa Bay

1585
01:18:18,000 --> 01:18:20,599
Speaker 3: scored the touchdown late, got the two point, made it eighteen,

1586
01:18:21,040 --> 01:18:25,400
Speaker 3: and made it close, but it ended up being, you know,

1587
01:18:25,479 --> 01:18:28,800
Speaker 3: in a hail Mary. Right. But there were like a

1588
01:18:28,960 --> 01:18:32,320
Speaker 3: handful of unsustainable things that made it get that close.

1589
01:18:32,360 --> 01:18:35,799
Speaker 3: I mean the penalties most notably.

1590
01:18:36,040 --> 01:18:38,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean you're a face mass penalty away from

1591
01:18:38,600 --> 01:18:41,720
Speaker 2: being being up from winning by fourteen.

1592
01:18:41,560 --> 01:18:46,080
Speaker 3: Right, So all of that stuff. But that's you're right,

1593
01:18:46,240 --> 01:18:49,040
Speaker 3: that's the identity kind of comes back to the point

1594
01:18:49,080 --> 01:18:51,040
Speaker 3: where you know when you and that's why we say, well,

1595
01:18:51,120 --> 01:18:53,839
Speaker 3: injuries happen everybody, Yeah, they do, and it bothers everybody.

1596
01:18:53,880 --> 01:18:55,040
Speaker 3: That's why it's such a big deal.

1597
01:18:55,800 --> 01:18:58,400
Speaker 2: But he's also right about the conference race too. The

1598
01:18:58,479 --> 01:19:00,479
Speaker 2: Bills have some ground to make up there, both in

1599
01:19:00,600 --> 01:19:04,240
Speaker 2: the division and in the conference because they're one and

1600
01:19:04,320 --> 01:19:06,560
Speaker 2: two in the division and they're two and three in

1601
01:19:06,640 --> 01:19:08,800
Speaker 2: the conference. You want an idea on how bad a

1602
01:19:08,840 --> 01:19:11,200
Speaker 2: start Cincinnati's gotten off to, they're zero and three in

1603
01:19:11,280 --> 01:19:14,200
Speaker 2: the conference. So you've got a leg up on those

1604
01:19:14,280 --> 01:19:17,120
Speaker 2: guys in terms of conference record, which is the first

1605
01:19:17,200 --> 01:19:20,840
Speaker 2: tiebreaker for two teams that are not in the same

1606
01:19:20,920 --> 01:19:24,400
Speaker 2: division after head to head, So you get the head

1607
01:19:24,439 --> 01:19:27,559
Speaker 2: to head, it's a foregone conclusion. If you don't, now

1608
01:19:27,560 --> 01:19:29,200
Speaker 2: you got to start hoping you have a better conference

1609
01:19:29,240 --> 01:19:30,559
Speaker 2: record than them, and then all of a sudden they're

1610
01:19:30,600 --> 01:19:33,040
Speaker 2: one and three in the conference and you're two and four. Right,

1611
01:19:33,520 --> 01:19:36,960
Speaker 2: So these AFC games matter now because of the hole

1612
01:19:37,040 --> 01:19:39,400
Speaker 2: you dug yourself at the start of the year, losing

1613
01:19:39,439 --> 01:19:42,479
Speaker 2: to the Jets, losing to Jacksonville, and then losing to

1614
01:19:42,560 --> 01:19:45,120
Speaker 2: New England. So you got to make up some ground

1615
01:19:45,200 --> 01:19:47,400
Speaker 2: here in this AFC game is a big way to

1616
01:19:47,439 --> 01:19:50,000
Speaker 2: do it. Back to the phones and to Kevin in Buffalo,

1617
01:19:51,000 --> 01:19:52,639
Speaker 2: what you got first, Kevin, you're on one Bill's Live.

1618
01:19:53,479 --> 01:19:56,240
Speaker 13: Oh either, I just wanted to mention first off, go

1619
01:19:56,439 --> 01:20:00,280
Speaker 13: Bill's always. And number two is to the previous.

1620
01:20:00,040 --> 01:20:03,280
Speaker 20: Caller asking about Kyrie Elam and why didn't we trade

1621
01:20:03,280 --> 01:20:05,640
Speaker 20: for Certaine. I feel like a lot of people have

1622
01:20:05,800 --> 01:20:09,280
Speaker 20: false expectations, like this is Madden or something, and it

1623
01:20:09,400 --> 01:20:11,840
Speaker 20: feels like they think they can just turn off fair

1624
01:20:11,920 --> 01:20:14,040
Speaker 20: trade and all of a sudden, everybody didn't just take

1625
01:20:14,080 --> 01:20:17,400
Speaker 20: who they want. But unfortunately he's like, hey, well let's

1626
01:20:17,400 --> 01:20:19,120
Speaker 20: just get a give a first and we'll get certain

1627
01:20:19,160 --> 01:20:21,920
Speaker 20: It's not really that simple. Sometimes you need three first.

1628
01:20:21,960 --> 01:20:25,080
Speaker 20: And are we going to really mortgage our future over

1629
01:20:25,280 --> 01:20:28,559
Speaker 20: one player when we're not necessarily just one player away

1630
01:20:28,640 --> 01:20:29,360
Speaker 20: from the big one?

1631
01:20:30,360 --> 01:20:30,559
Speaker 2: Yeah?

1632
01:20:30,640 --> 01:20:31,120
Speaker 3: Really all I had.

1633
01:20:31,120 --> 01:20:31,960
Speaker 12: I'll hang up and listen.

1634
01:20:32,120 --> 01:20:36,400
Speaker 2: Yeah I get it, Kevin. Yeah, people think that trades

1635
01:20:36,439 --> 01:20:39,760
Speaker 2: are easy to orchestrate. Brandon Bean basically admitted it took

1636
01:20:39,840 --> 01:20:41,840
Speaker 2: him over a week to get the Rasul Douglas Deel

1637
01:20:41,880 --> 01:20:45,479
Speaker 2: done several phone calls, and then he made numerous phone

1638
01:20:45,520 --> 01:20:47,919
Speaker 2: calls trying to see if they could fortify the defensive

1639
01:20:48,000 --> 01:20:51,840
Speaker 2: tackle ranks and ultimately couldn't try anybody away. And lord

1640
01:20:51,920 --> 01:20:54,400
Speaker 2: knows how many phone calls that took and nothing came

1641
01:20:54,479 --> 01:20:58,200
Speaker 2: of it. Right, It happens all the time deals that

1642
01:20:58,360 --> 01:21:00,800
Speaker 2: don't get done. So just because they get done, don't

1643
01:21:00,840 --> 01:21:03,320
Speaker 2: say the GM's not working hard enough. Guy's working, but

1644
01:21:03,400 --> 01:21:04,240
Speaker 2: you need another guy.

1645
01:21:04,120 --> 01:21:06,720
Speaker 3: To agree with you. Yeah, I mean it's because you

1646
01:21:06,800 --> 01:21:11,760
Speaker 3: know it's It's like most of us fans are like

1647
01:21:12,320 --> 01:21:14,400
Speaker 3: your little kid when you take him into the dime

1648
01:21:14,479 --> 01:21:17,439
Speaker 3: store for a first time. They want everything, you know,

1649
01:21:18,960 --> 01:21:22,320
Speaker 3: and money no object. It just doesn't work that way.

1650
01:21:22,720 --> 01:21:26,640
Speaker 3: The give up is notoriously too much the player, or

1651
01:21:26,840 --> 01:21:30,800
Speaker 3: for a top flight player. And most teams, I mean,

1652
01:21:30,880 --> 01:21:35,479
Speaker 3: nobody's willing to trade their top corner. Nobody's willing to

1653
01:21:35,520 --> 01:21:40,040
Speaker 3: trade they're you know, they're starting free. Say they're starting this.

1654
01:21:40,280 --> 01:21:42,880
Speaker 3: They're not. They're not. They're gonna do it because I

1655
01:21:43,000 --> 01:21:45,760
Speaker 3: get too much pushback from the coaches because you know,

1656
01:21:46,040 --> 01:21:48,040
Speaker 3: it's it's painfully obvious, but you got to say it.

1657
01:21:48,040 --> 01:21:50,960
Speaker 3: I guess because people are talking about it. Coach doesn't

1658
01:21:51,000 --> 01:21:53,479
Speaker 3: want the general manager to trade away a really good

1659
01:21:53,479 --> 01:21:55,120
Speaker 3: player because it makes him look bad when they go

1660
01:21:55,160 --> 01:21:57,960
Speaker 3: on the field, they can't play and they start giving

1661
01:21:58,040 --> 01:22:00,599
Speaker 3: up long touchdown passes. The way you traded it, guy, Well,

1662
01:22:00,640 --> 01:22:03,240
Speaker 3: nobody wants to hear that. You know, they said, well,

1663
01:22:03,320 --> 01:22:05,519
Speaker 3: that's on you. It's not on the on the fact

1664
01:22:05,520 --> 01:22:07,600
Speaker 3: that you have a lesser player than you thought you

1665
01:22:07,680 --> 01:22:10,519
Speaker 3: were going to have or whatever. The next GM and

1666
01:22:10,560 --> 01:22:12,800
Speaker 3: next head coach will benefit from the draft pick you

1667
01:22:12,880 --> 01:22:21,479
Speaker 3: got back. Thanks a lot. It stinks, Yeah, it stinks. Yeah, it's.

1668
01:22:23,080 --> 01:22:28,400
Speaker 2: The trade market is not an easy thing to get

1669
01:22:28,520 --> 01:22:32,240
Speaker 2: deals consummated on, especially when you have so many teams

1670
01:22:33,439 --> 01:22:38,000
Speaker 2: that believe they're still in the hunt, like the Broncos

1671
01:22:38,000 --> 01:22:40,639
Speaker 2: are a perfect example. Two weeks ago, everybody's talking about

1672
01:22:40,640 --> 01:22:42,280
Speaker 2: how the Broncos are going to have a fire sale

1673
01:22:42,320 --> 01:22:44,160
Speaker 2: by the time they get to the trade deadline. They

1674
01:22:44,240 --> 01:22:45,559
Speaker 2: win two in a row and they're like, well, hold

1675
01:22:45,600 --> 01:22:48,759
Speaker 2: on a second, we're a game at a second place.

1676
01:22:49,920 --> 01:22:52,560
Speaker 2: We're in a wild card hunt now at three and

1677
01:22:52,720 --> 01:22:57,439
Speaker 2: five with nine to play, we're not throwing anybody overboard.

1678
01:22:58,280 --> 01:23:02,160
Speaker 2: So it changes the dynamic considerably from where it was

1679
01:23:02,200 --> 01:23:04,559
Speaker 2: two weeks ago. That's just one example. There's about five

1680
01:23:04,640 --> 01:23:07,280
Speaker 2: others like that. Well, yeah, you think about the Broncos,

1681
01:23:07,640 --> 01:23:12,000
Speaker 2: this is the first year in like in like Patrick

1682
01:23:12,080 --> 01:23:17,200
Speaker 2: Mahomes era that where they've looked vulnerable and you know

1683
01:23:17,320 --> 01:23:18,559
Speaker 2: they're finally they've won.

1684
01:23:18,560 --> 01:23:22,040
Speaker 3: Three out of their last five after starting obviously zero

1685
01:23:22,080 --> 01:23:24,479
Speaker 3: to three, so they're starting to get it on. They're

1686
01:23:24,479 --> 01:23:27,320
Speaker 3: starting to bottom out and fight out of this. Russe

1687
01:23:27,360 --> 01:23:29,479
Speaker 3: Wilson played better this last week.

1688
01:23:29,560 --> 01:23:31,600
Speaker 2: Some hasn't played poorly really, so.

1689
01:23:31,640 --> 01:23:34,599
Speaker 3: They want to see what they've got and even if

1690
01:23:34,640 --> 01:23:38,080
Speaker 3: this thing does go that they're not one play. With

1691
01:23:38,280 --> 01:23:42,280
Speaker 3: free agency, trade deadline and their draft picks. They got

1692
01:23:42,400 --> 01:23:43,800
Speaker 3: to feel like, hey, they can turn around a little

1693
01:23:43,840 --> 01:23:47,400
Speaker 3: quicker than just by than by unloading it. They don't

1694
01:23:47,400 --> 01:23:50,200
Speaker 3: need to do that, and I'm kind of with them

1695
01:23:50,240 --> 01:23:50,400
Speaker 3: on that.

1696
01:23:51,040 --> 01:23:53,559
Speaker 2: Let's go to the post practice podium where Jordan Poyer

1697
01:23:53,800 --> 01:23:58,720
Speaker 2: is addressing the media now after practice, thank you.

1698
01:23:59,040 --> 01:24:01,000
Speaker 10: I wanted that takes you get into it.

1699
01:24:01,280 --> 01:24:01,439
Speaker 14: Uh.

1700
01:24:03,120 --> 01:24:05,519
Speaker 9: It took about four and a half hours to put

1701
01:24:05,600 --> 01:24:07,599
Speaker 9: on me. It took about four and a half five

1702
01:24:07,680 --> 01:24:09,200
Speaker 9: or five and a half from my wife. We were

1703
01:24:09,240 --> 01:24:12,760
Speaker 9: avatars in caseybody was wondering, uh, the real life avatars.

1704
01:24:12,800 --> 01:24:15,160
Speaker 9: It was pretty cool because I do believe I'm alien,

1705
01:24:15,280 --> 01:24:18,720
Speaker 9: So we actually dressed as avatar and uh, we had

1706
01:24:18,760 --> 01:24:21,479
Speaker 9: a lady come from La come out here and dress

1707
01:24:21,520 --> 01:24:23,080
Speaker 9: us up. We had a great time. At the Halloween party,

1708
01:24:23,520 --> 01:24:25,600
Speaker 9: surprised when you walk into party. Yeah, a lot of

1709
01:24:25,600 --> 01:24:27,599
Speaker 9: people didn't know it was me, so, which is pretty cool.

1710
01:24:28,760 --> 01:24:30,160
Speaker 9: I looked in the mirror, I didn't even know it

1711
01:24:30,240 --> 01:24:32,800
Speaker 9: was me, so it was. You know, it's really well done, lady.

1712
01:24:33,000 --> 01:24:34,000
Speaker 9: Lady did a really good job.

1713
01:24:34,760 --> 01:24:37,080
Speaker 18: You believe you're an alien kind of demands the follow up.

1714
01:24:37,080 --> 01:24:41,080
Speaker 9: Question, what absolutely just you know, I'm just a different breed,

1715
01:24:41,240 --> 01:24:44,200
Speaker 9: you know, I'm just I've always, ever since I've grown up,

1716
01:24:44,320 --> 01:24:46,880
Speaker 9: just always felt like I was kind of the odd

1717
01:24:46,960 --> 01:24:49,680
Speaker 9: one out, you know, the one that had the everybody's

1718
01:24:49,720 --> 01:24:51,960
Speaker 9: going right, I'm gonna go left. You know, everybody's going up,

1719
01:24:51,960 --> 01:24:55,439
Speaker 9: I'm gonna go down. So yeah, I just believe I'm

1720
01:24:55,479 --> 01:24:56,280
Speaker 9: a I'm an alien.

1721
01:24:57,880 --> 01:25:00,040
Speaker 18: H You had a chance probably to self schottle a

1722
01:25:00,040 --> 01:25:02,559
Speaker 18: little bit after this little bit of a break after

1723
01:25:02,640 --> 01:25:06,280
Speaker 18: eight games, where would you say the secondary's play has

1724
01:25:06,360 --> 01:25:08,200
Speaker 18: been you know throughout that.

1725
01:25:08,560 --> 01:25:10,280
Speaker 9: Yeah, I just want to continue to get better. I

1726
01:25:10,360 --> 01:25:12,840
Speaker 9: think we fell short in the takeaway over these last

1727
01:25:12,880 --> 01:25:14,519
Speaker 9: couple of weeks. You know, want to get back into

1728
01:25:14,760 --> 01:25:16,400
Speaker 9: you know, getting the ball back to Josh and getting

1729
01:25:16,400 --> 01:25:18,840
Speaker 9: back the ball back to our offense. You know something

1730
01:25:18,880 --> 01:25:21,880
Speaker 9: that we've been focusing on, you know, these past couple

1731
01:25:21,920 --> 01:25:24,160
Speaker 9: of weeks. You know, something that you know came along

1732
01:25:24,640 --> 01:25:26,240
Speaker 9: early in the season. We really want to get back

1733
01:25:26,240 --> 01:25:28,040
Speaker 9: to that final ways to take the football away, whether

1734
01:25:28,040 --> 01:25:30,200
Speaker 9: it's getting the ball off somebody or or getting the

1735
01:25:30,200 --> 01:25:32,600
Speaker 9: ball out of the air. So just getting back to

1736
01:25:32,680 --> 01:25:34,800
Speaker 9: that and just playing in our style of defense, playing together,

1737
01:25:34,960 --> 01:25:38,400
Speaker 9: you know, communicating and and playing physical and so uh,

1738
01:25:38,640 --> 01:25:38,840
Speaker 9: you know.

1739
01:25:38,880 --> 01:25:41,640
Speaker 4: We just are are just continuous KUIs and growth. We

1740
01:25:41,720 --> 01:25:42,360
Speaker 4: want to keep doing that.

1741
01:25:43,479 --> 01:25:45,960
Speaker 17: Just fear of that calf and their play the function

1742
01:25:46,080 --> 01:25:50,000
Speaker 17: of that offense is obviously corresponded. What what makes the

1743
01:25:50,080 --> 01:25:53,000
Speaker 17: way they approach things, that quick rhythm passing game hasn't

1744
01:25:53,080 --> 01:25:55,679
Speaker 17: changed all that much. What what's the challenge of defending?

1745
01:25:56,280 --> 01:25:59,080
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean, he's extremely smart quarterback who's seen all

1746
01:25:59,120 --> 01:26:00,719
Speaker 9: the looks. He knows where to go with the football,

1747
01:26:00,760 --> 01:26:02,920
Speaker 9: he can make all the throws, and he's got good

1748
01:26:02,960 --> 01:26:05,760
Speaker 9: playmakers around him that understand that offense as well. So

1749
01:26:06,360 --> 01:26:07,800
Speaker 9: you know, it is gonna be one of those games

1750
01:26:07,880 --> 01:26:09,479
Speaker 9: we're gonna have to play extremely well to win and

1751
01:26:09,560 --> 01:26:11,600
Speaker 9: find ways to take the football away. But you know,

1752
01:26:11,640 --> 01:26:13,599
Speaker 9: it's a really good offense with you know, really good

1753
01:26:13,640 --> 01:26:16,599
Speaker 9: skill position players and you know, a solid offensive line,

1754
01:26:16,640 --> 01:26:18,040
Speaker 9: and so you know when they're able to get in

1755
01:26:18,080 --> 01:26:20,160
Speaker 9: a rhythm and you know Burrows able to get into

1756
01:26:20,160 --> 01:26:22,320
Speaker 9: a rhythm and put the ball on the receivers and

1757
01:26:22,520 --> 01:26:24,880
Speaker 9: you know, you know there's there's yards after catch, and

1758
01:26:25,000 --> 01:26:26,760
Speaker 9: so you know it's gonna be a.

1759
01:26:26,760 --> 01:26:28,639
Speaker 4: Big task for us. We had a great day today

1760
01:26:28,640 --> 01:26:29,160
Speaker 4: at practice.

1761
01:26:29,479 --> 01:26:32,000
Speaker 9: Just continue to prepare and continue to just evolve as

1762
01:26:32,040 --> 01:26:35,160
Speaker 9: a as a defense, as a team, and uh, you

1763
01:26:35,200 --> 01:26:36,599
Speaker 9: know we're excited about Sunday night.

1764
01:26:37,680 --> 01:26:40,680
Speaker 2: Stick from how they started out against you in that

1765
01:26:40,800 --> 01:26:41,679
Speaker 2: playoff team.

1766
01:26:42,000 --> 01:26:42,240
Speaker 4: Kind of.

1767
01:26:44,880 --> 01:26:49,120
Speaker 3: Nah, what do you think you might have been asked

1768
01:26:49,200 --> 01:26:50,840
Speaker 3: to chase on screens?

1769
01:26:51,000 --> 01:26:53,439
Speaker 14: You know, he's so good run after the cat.

1770
01:26:54,000 --> 01:26:56,800
Speaker 9: Do you think he's a strong, strong, strong runner, very

1771
01:26:56,840 --> 01:26:59,000
Speaker 9: strong runner. You know, he gets a lot a lot

1772
01:26:59,040 --> 01:27:02,080
Speaker 9: of yards after contact. And so I'm just getting population

1773
01:27:02,200 --> 01:27:04,880
Speaker 9: to the football understanding you know, he's gonna throw the

1774
01:27:04,920 --> 01:27:06,840
Speaker 9: steff arm out, he's gonna throw a shoulder down, he's

1775
01:27:06,840 --> 01:27:09,120
Speaker 9: gonna you know, you know, more population we get to

1776
01:27:09,160 --> 01:27:11,000
Speaker 9: the ball, the less one on one tackles that that

1777
01:27:11,120 --> 01:27:11,640
Speaker 9: we have to make.

1778
01:27:11,720 --> 01:27:13,360
Speaker 4: But you know there's gonna be some times We're gonna have.

1779
01:27:13,360 --> 01:27:15,320
Speaker 9: To make some one on one tackles and be physical

1780
01:27:15,360 --> 01:27:16,639
Speaker 9: and be strong and get them to the ground.

1781
01:27:17,479 --> 01:27:20,679
Speaker 2: All right. That's Jordan Poyer addressing the media after practice today.

1782
01:27:20,720 --> 01:27:22,080
Speaker 2: Got to take a break here, but Steve and I

1783
01:27:22,160 --> 01:27:24,040
Speaker 2: close it up next on One Bill's Live presented by

1784
01:27:24,040 --> 01:27:43,200
Speaker 2: Collid of Health, It's Buffalo Bills Radio. All right. Some

1785
01:27:43,280 --> 01:27:45,320
Speaker 2: final thoughts on the tweets sheet about how soon the

1786
01:27:45,360 --> 01:27:47,760
Speaker 2: Bills need to find their identity this season. Brandon Bean

1787
01:27:47,840 --> 01:27:51,040
Speaker 2: said they're still trying to nail it down here at

1788
01:27:51,080 --> 01:27:54,320
Speaker 2: the halfway point of the season. Allan says, by the

1789
01:27:54,439 --> 01:27:56,760
Speaker 2: Eagles game, no doubt. By then the Bills will be

1790
01:27:56,840 --> 01:27:58,920
Speaker 2: seven and three. The gauntlet is set. With those next

1791
01:27:58,960 --> 01:28:03,200
Speaker 2: three games, it'll be make or break. Don says it

1792
01:28:03,320 --> 01:28:05,360
Speaker 2: needs to all gel a couple of weeks leading up

1793
01:28:05,360 --> 01:28:07,160
Speaker 2: to the playoffs. Just make it all work right now

1794
01:28:07,240 --> 01:28:10,599
Speaker 2: with duck tape and rubber bands until then, Bill's News

1795
01:28:10,680 --> 01:28:13,080
Speaker 2: Consolidated says, I think the teams that can find their

1796
01:28:13,120 --> 01:28:17,080
Speaker 2: identity usually make the playoffs. Obviously, some teams force their

1797
01:28:17,160 --> 01:28:19,960
Speaker 2: identity before the season even starts, but an identity is

1798
01:28:20,040 --> 01:28:24,519
Speaker 2: earned through success. Therefore, we need to find it right

1799
01:28:24,640 --> 01:28:27,720
Speaker 2: before the playoffs start, and then Mike says, probably by

1800
01:28:27,880 --> 01:28:31,600
Speaker 2: Sunday when they were playing arguably the best team in

1801
01:28:31,680 --> 01:28:32,520
Speaker 2: the AFC.

1802
01:28:34,240 --> 01:28:36,720
Speaker 3: That win that the Bengals got last week out in

1803
01:28:36,960 --> 01:28:39,920
Speaker 3: San Francisco was impressive. It was that was that's a

1804
01:28:40,040 --> 01:28:42,840
Speaker 3: really good football team in San Francisco. The Bengals walked

1805
01:28:42,880 --> 01:28:45,559
Speaker 3: in there and thumped them and did it on both

1806
01:28:45,600 --> 01:28:48,720
Speaker 3: sides of the ball, taking the ball away and congratulator.

1807
01:28:49,479 --> 01:28:52,280
Speaker 3: This is a this is the beginning of the stretch

1808
01:28:52,439 --> 01:28:55,160
Speaker 3: We've been talking about since the schedule came out. This

1809
01:28:55,320 --> 01:29:00,679
Speaker 3: game through week fourteen, sixteen sixteen is is a crusher

1810
01:29:00,920 --> 01:29:04,639
Speaker 3: and maybe fifteen Chargers will see But I'll say this too. Yeah,

1811
01:29:04,640 --> 01:29:08,160
Speaker 3: it's the Bengals, Jets, Eagles, Chiefs, Cowboys, Chargers and and

1812
01:29:08,240 --> 01:29:12,519
Speaker 3: I skipped the Broncos. This is uh and and the

1813
01:29:12,600 --> 01:29:14,800
Speaker 3: bye week is in week thirteen too, so you got

1814
01:29:14,840 --> 01:29:18,639
Speaker 3: that in there. But this begins a really tough stretch

1815
01:29:19,520 --> 01:29:21,640
Speaker 3: and it begins with maybe the toughest game there is

1816
01:29:22,000 --> 01:29:22,400
Speaker 3: so far.

1817
01:29:23,320 --> 01:29:26,920
Speaker 2: The toughest game probably remain next three. Yeah, you know,

1818
01:29:27,040 --> 01:29:29,000
Speaker 2: Philadelphia on the road. That's not going to be a

1819
01:29:29,040 --> 01:29:32,960
Speaker 2: piece of cake either. Kansas City is always tough, although

1820
01:29:33,320 --> 01:29:35,080
Speaker 2: the Bills have gone in there and won before in

1821
01:29:35,120 --> 01:29:39,240
Speaker 2: the regular season, so we shall see it all starts

1822
01:29:39,280 --> 01:29:41,320
Speaker 2: Sunday night. That's it for Steve and I today. We'll

1823
01:29:41,320 --> 01:29:42,080
Speaker 2: see you tomorrow at one
