Speaker 1: the phrase that's not who we are, referring to the Coltslaus,

8
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:38,080

Speaker 1: of the Buffalo Bills. Here on a Buffalo football Friday,

30
00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 1: the day after Thanksgiving, and the day after resounding thirty

31
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 1: one to six stomping of the injury ravaged New Orleans

32
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 1: Saints as their offense barely had enough people to put

33
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:11,080
Speaker 1: on the field. Steve Um, first of all, you're you

34
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 1: have a good Thanksgiving. Everybody packed into the house, and

35
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:18,680
Speaker 1: I sure did. Had a quiet adult Thanksgiving. The grand

36
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:21,800
Speaker 1: all grandkids were at the end there, my son's wives

37
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:23,800
Speaker 1: and parents. They well went to the other, you know,

38
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 1: the other side of the family for Thanksgiving. Then last

39
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 1: night most of them converged on our house for a

40
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 1: watch party for the dessert. Some of the kids, like

41
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 1: half the kids stayed at our house all overnight and

42
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 1: all that, so I had to escape this morning. I

43
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 1: was proud of myself. I did not do dessert round two,

44
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 1: which I was kind of I was. I was mapping

45
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:46,640
Speaker 1: it out. I was like, all right, well, I you know,

46
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 1: I got to get to work at about eight, so

47
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 1: let me have dessert before that, right, and if I'm

48
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 1: feeling good, dessert round two at half time to swing

49
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 1: at it. Yeah, I got, but it was not in

50
00:02:59,919 --> 00:03:02,639
Speaker 1: the cards for me. I I was. I was very

51
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:06,240
Speaker 1: happy with my first I took a generous slice of

52
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 1: Dutch apple pie and went scoop and a half of

53
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 1: the vanilla on top of that, so I was good

54
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 1: after that. I'm a big fan if i'm if I'm

55
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 1: feeling it, like if I don't over eat the meal

56
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 1: and you got some, you know you got a chance

57
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 1: to really hit it hard. For the desserts. What I

58
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 1: do is I'll take a little bit of the stuff

59
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 1: I know I'll probably like, and then then I go

60
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 1: back and hit hard the one that's like hitting the spot.

61
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 1: I go back and say Yeah, that's it. Okay, so

62
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 1: you're like a sampler. I do a sampler and then

63
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 1: I go back and take the full advantage of what

64
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 1: anybody did eat. Yeah, that's my kind of go to.

65
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 1: It's very strategic. Yeah, I'm yeah, I like that. Yeah.

66
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 1: So we're having actually, so since the kids were at

67
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 1: their in laws yesterday, we're having the big thing at

68
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 1: our house this afternoon. Only we're not going to go

69
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 1: back to the church. We're doing actually a more of

70
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 1: a cow meal my wife and you'll be happy to

71
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 1: know that we did have a little bit of ham there.

72
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 1: Oh there you go. See, I know, I know, see, Brownie,

73
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 1: you can go outside your comfort zone and I like cam.

74
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 1: It's the rest of my family that doesn't. So I

75
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 1: had some ham on my place. You need to do that. O.

76
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 1: We got we got like one of those um like

77
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 1: pre cook couple of slices and they have him vacuum sealed. Literally,

78
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:22,599
Speaker 1: you throw that thing in a skillet, seared on both

79
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 1: sides for about three minutes, done right, because it's pre cooked.

80
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 1: That are that almost doesn't even count. Broce, leave it

81
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 1: tasted it. You gotta get one of those. You gotta

82
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,840
Speaker 1: get one of those like fifteen pound ham bone in

83
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 1: spiral cut. No, no, we think we usually have those

84
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 1: for Christmas time. Yeah, you gotta put that in and

85
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 1: there you have to like throw half of it away

86
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 1: because you're like you can't eat any more of it. Yeah,

87
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:48,480
Speaker 1: like after six weeks it's still in there. You forget

88
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 1: it's in there. It's like, I can't do anymore. That

89
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 1: is so good. Get your sodium for the it's so good.

90
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 1: Sodium for the money we had. Oh my gosh, it was.

91
00:04:58,000 --> 00:04:59,840
Speaker 1: You know, I'm like everybody else. I mean, who doesn't

92
00:04:59,880 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 1: like to eat sucking down water? Oh good, Oh my gosh.

93
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 1: Oh like yeah, I'm like a forty five minutes after

94
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:07,839
Speaker 1: you finish eating, you gotta go drink like a half

95
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,480
Speaker 1: a gallon of wash. Oh my gosh, I'm so so thirsty.

96
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 1: I made the stuffing. I made the Brussels sprouts, which

97
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 1: I make with bacon, honey, and some garlic. I don't

98
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 1: want to let you know I'm not too you know,

99
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,479
Speaker 1: I don't. I'm not an extra big exerciser, right, I

100
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 1: mean I quit working out when I quit playing, right,

101
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:29,719
Speaker 1: I'm outside of waking without. I didn't step on the

102
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 1: scale this morning, but I am absolutely positively at this moment,

103
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 1: you're sitting here looking at me, the heaviest weight I've

104
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 1: ever been in my entire life. Wow, just because it

105
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 1: wasn't consume yesterday myself. But yes, I'm yes, I'm almost

106
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 1: positive I am the heaviest I have ever been in

107
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 1: my entire life. We headed into the winter. Look, oh yeah,

108
00:05:57,480 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 1: well you gotta get your you gotta layer up. I did.

109
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 1: We had, We were we had the outdoor TV going.

110
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 1: We were outside last night, you know, for the game,

111
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 1: watching the game on TV. Out you know, because I

112
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 1: had a cigar, my cigar thing going, so so I'm

113
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:12,920
Speaker 1: out of shape and I smoke cigars and we were,

114
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:15,360
Speaker 1: you know, so we're I didn't even need to bun

115
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:17,359
Speaker 1: bundle up. I got a little layer of fat on it.

116
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 1: Fat and happy right now. Thirty one six, fat and happy,

117
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 1: that's right. One six was the final score, indeed, and

118
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:29,160
Speaker 1: I think we both had an inkling it had a

119
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 1: very good chance to go this way because of how

120
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:38,480
Speaker 1: shorthanded the Saints were. Camaro was, Amara was out, Ottley

121
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 1: Ingram was out, so it was Taysom Hill. That's what

122
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 1: was a surprise to me. I was starting right tackle

123
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 1: Ryan Ramchick, who's one of the highest paid tackles in

124
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:49,719
Speaker 1: the league. He was out. Yep, his backup was out.

125
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:52,480
Speaker 1: I mean it kind of turns into two of their

126
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 1: top three defensive ends were out. If you get past

127
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 1: the glow of a big win, it's a little bit

128
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 1: of a hollow victory because you'd almost you'd almost be really,

129
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:07,160
Speaker 1: you'd almost be full of anxiety if the Bills had

130
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 1: wanted an overtime, you know what I mean, because to

131
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 1: beat a team that was so Downtroddenvor Trevor Simmey and

132
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 1: I and I'll tell you that I didn't think he

133
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 1: played horribly. He just missed some crucial you know, you know,

134
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 1: it's just consistently just one throw off on a series

135
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 1: or something like that, and they got to you know,

136
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 1: you get a penalty or whatever. The running game did

137
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 1: not have its way with the Bills, as you might

138
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:36,560
Speaker 1: imagine without an Ingram or Alvin Kamara. So I'm you know, look, yeah,

139
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 1: so I'm yeah, a little bit of a hollow victory.

140
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 1: Even in thirty one thirty one to six defeat you had.

141
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 1: Oliver continues to impress. I think he's had a nice

142
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 1: stretch of games. Here the last few weeks. It's been

143
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 1: one of the few bright spots through this up and

144
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 1: down stretch of Buffalo schedule. He's played really well. He

145
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 1: was a factor again last night. Mario Addison was his wingman.

146
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 1: Those two guys were difference makers up front last night,

147
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 1: the most notable by far. I'll tell you Ed, there's

148
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 1: something about Ed to me. Like last night he said

149
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 1: he almost had to play the game for free because

150
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 1: he bought so many tickets. Well, and he put his

151
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 1: mom in a sweet right. Well, so he's like I basically, yeah,

152
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 1: played for free right last night? So but he was

153
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 1: a force you. I mean, somebody should do their best

154
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 1: to make sure Ed has to do that every week, right,

155
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 1: I mean if that because man, old man, Well, he

156
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 1: played really good on Thanksgiving in Dallas because he's got

157
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:33,720
Speaker 1: family there, and he played really good last night because

158
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 1: he's got family there. Ed flip exactly. That's what I'm saying.

159
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,040
Speaker 1: Ed flipped the switch. We gotta get his mom on

160
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 1: the road, right, we got it right something you know,

161
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 1: fund me page, get his mom in the stands um,

162
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,679
Speaker 1: because man, he he turns it on for mom. He

163
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:53,479
Speaker 1: was knifing into the backfield. He was just with alarming regularity.

164
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 1: Now I get it. Their offensive line was a little

165
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 1: bit of a mess. In fact, on the fourth and

166
00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 1: two conversion, they're left backle never moved. I mean he

167
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 1: didn't need the snap County. It was. They were a

168
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:08,040
Speaker 1: mess at times, and it was at crucial points as well.

169
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:12,199
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, so ed was really good last night.

170
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 1: He really was, and so is Addison. Addison was Mario

171
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:17,959
Speaker 1: was very good. Um you know who else was really

172
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 1: good last night? I was gonna say it, Tremaine. Edmond

173
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 1: made difference. That guy was made a difference. You don't

174
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 1: appreciate his range until he's not in there. Yeah, and

175
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 1: plus he's fresh, well right, fresh off the shelf. He

176
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,560
Speaker 1: so Tremaine, you gotta tip your hat to him. He

177
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 1: made a difference in a run game two. Oh yeah,

178
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:44,080
Speaker 1: that was that was great. It was good to see

179
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 1: him back. What about your thoughts on the whole return

180
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:53,200
Speaker 1: game development yas Marquis Stevenson is brought Let's let's just

181
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 1: think about this. Let's rehash this, the lengths that the

182
00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 1: coaching staff went to to make a change. There. You

183
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:03,720
Speaker 1: have Marquis Stevenson on IR since the beginning of the season,

184
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 1: with a foot injury. Short week, he's activated off IR

185
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:12,440
Speaker 1: and is practiced. Well, no, he started practicing with the team,

186
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:16,439
Speaker 1: but we're talking about walkthrough stuff. They're not practicing full

187
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 1: speed this week. They're just trying to rest bodies. So

188
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 1: this guy hasn't played in a regular season game in

189
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:27,319
Speaker 1: his entire career. So rookie hasn't played in a regular

190
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 1: season game. They start practicing him, they activate him off

191
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 1: IR yesterday or Wednesday before four pm, and then he

192
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 1: is the primary return man in the game in a

193
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:49,439
Speaker 1: game you need to have, despite not having any NFL

194
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 1: regular season experience. On top of that, Isaiah McKenzie is

195
00:10:57,559 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 1: in act. Yeah, like you don't have a safety net.

196
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:06,560
Speaker 1: What are what are we to pull from all of that? Well,

197
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:09,800
Speaker 1: I think it's I think Isaiah m It was as

198
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:14,559
Speaker 1: much about Isaiah McKenzie as it was about Marquez okay Um.

199
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 1: And I'll say that I've said it before I did it.

200
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:20,959
Speaker 1: I mean I returned punts for for in and f

201
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 1: And you know, when I was playing, there is no

202
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 1: more pressure packed job on the field than the punt

203
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 1: returner because you got you got guys like me coming

204
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 1: down And I know how I used to feel about

205
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 1: covering kicks and guys that I played with, you know,

206
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 1: Carwell and Chris Hale and Mark Pike and the gang

207
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 1: going down to cover kicks. I mean that was you

208
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:45,199
Speaker 1: were hoping that guy returned it because you wanted a

209
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 1: shot at him. You miss standing on the sidelines, right

210
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:50,839
Speaker 1: and to be that guy down there knowing the guys

211
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 1: coming down to have got that on their mind and they're,

212
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:54,560
Speaker 1: you know, looking to knock your block off and the

213
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 1: whole team could be playing gang but your whole team

214
00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 1: could be playing like Gangbusters. You could lose the game

215
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 1: on that play. You always feel like that, You like,

216
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 1: like as Ane McKenzie coughing the kickoff up last week,

217
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 1: you could beat that guy. Game was over. Yeah, that's

218
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 1: always the pressure you're on. Plus you've got to make

219
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:16,880
Speaker 1: some really critical decisions, not only for the team, for

220
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 1: field position and for your health. You got to make

221
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 1: the right decisions and you got like no time to

222
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:25,960
Speaker 1: do it, and you're under the most amount of stress

223
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 1: as anybody on the field. You just don't know where

224
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:30,079
Speaker 1: they are. You can't take your eyes off the ball.

225
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:31,840
Speaker 1: You gotta feel where they I mean, there's just so

226
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:34,839
Speaker 1: much going on That's why Andre Roberts last year and

227
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:37,280
Speaker 1: has been a Pro Bowl returner. Just the guy just

228
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 1: makes great decisions. It's hard, man, And to have Mark

229
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 1: Mark Quez Stevenson come out and do as good a

230
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 1: job as he did last night, right out of the package.

231
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 1: I mean they just unwrapped him last night. No break

232
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 1: in period, no like it's like a potting pan. Even

233
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:57,840
Speaker 1: even at pots and pans, you got a condition before

234
00:12:57,880 --> 00:12:59,680
Speaker 1: you use them in the stove, right, I mean nothing.

235
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 1: That guy was still shiny out of the box. And

236
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:06,240
Speaker 1: he did a really nice job for them. Last first

237
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:09,680
Speaker 1: two punt returns of the game plus eleven plus ten.

238
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 1: That's it. Yeah, I know you always say that's one

239
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:15,480
Speaker 1: last first down your your offense has to get coming

240
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 1: out on the field. So good job there. He did

241
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:20,600
Speaker 1: drop one, but recovered it. He dropped it because there

242
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 1: was a guy right at his face, got the gunner,

243
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 1: got a little bit too close to him, allowed the

244
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:27,720
Speaker 1: guy to push him in there a little too close

245
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 1: and but he, you know, he picked it up, showed

246
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 1: good poise and uh man, you just you can't say

247
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 1: enough about it. It's uh hey, it was a nice

248
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 1: night for him, and it'll be interesting to see going

249
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:47,040
Speaker 1: forward what happens now. I've said too, mackenzie is a

250
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:50,080
Speaker 1: guy that's kind of disappeared from the offense now that

251
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:52,599
Speaker 1: he's been doing the full time. He does some it

252
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 1: takes a like not even a handful of snaps a

253
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:58,520
Speaker 1: game on offense. But now if if you've got Mark Quez,

254
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:02,839
Speaker 1: maybe mc kenzie's able to be a bigger part of it.

255
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:05,200
Speaker 1: But I don't know where that legion. I'll have to

256
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:09,120
Speaker 1: see where it goes. Because now you've got seven players

257
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 1: on your roster who are wide receivers. Now it's not

258
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 1: completely unheard of, but it is in the minority in

259
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 1: this league. And so it begs the question, knowing that

260
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 1: Star Latoula and Spencer Brown are still on the COVID

261
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 1: reserve list, are they anticipating one of those players is

262
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 1: going to be on there for an extended period of time.

263
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:31,400
Speaker 1: That's the only reason you had the extra roster spot

264
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 1: to call Stevenson up off of IR and activate him.

265
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:39,680
Speaker 1: We also saw the Bills activate two defensive tackles as

266
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:42,640
Speaker 1: practice squad call ups yesterday. Those guys were in on

267
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 1: the third series of the game, first and ten Eli

268
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:49,200
Speaker 1: Onkou and Brandon Bryant. Yeah, they were. They were in

269
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:52,440
Speaker 1: the rotation. It's not like they were played sparingly. They

270
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:57,640
Speaker 1: were in the rotation last night. I'm really what I mean,

271
00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 1: we're only speculating here. We don't know what the situation is.

272
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 1: But when you see a seventh receiver get added to

273
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 1: the roster, all right, maybe it's a one game thing.

274
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 1: Who knows, But you got seven receivers on the roster

275
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:12,040
Speaker 1: now because you have extra room. But what are you

276
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 1: doing there? Is it? You know? I hope it's not

277
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:18,360
Speaker 1: because you know, one of these guys is struggling with

278
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 1: the COVID stuff. I mean we saw it firsthand last year.

279
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 1: Tommy Thomas seen his entire season suffered from mile karditis. Yeah,

280
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:30,480
Speaker 1: I mean he wasn't right for months, right, Yeah, maybe

281
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 1: maybe that's what Spencer Brown start or going through. I

282
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 1: don't know. Hopefully they're all right, but the simple fact

283
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:40,880
Speaker 1: the matter is they've got it's unique. I don't know.

284
00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:43,320
Speaker 1: Maybe there's another team that doesn't like this that I

285
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 1: don't know. Maybe might be Miami. I can see Brian

286
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:50,040
Speaker 1: Flores being this kind of guy. But Sean McDermott they

287
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 1: are and his step they are not afraid to make

288
00:15:54,160 --> 00:16:00,880
Speaker 1: stark changes, unapologetic, unapologic change, unapologetic changes to he spots

289
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:05,520
Speaker 1: that other teams just seem unwilling to do in the

290
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 1: middle of a season, in the middle of the season.

291
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 1: Now in week and I get this too, I get

292
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:13,240
Speaker 1: this too. I get this. Last week was an embarrassment

293
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 1: for the staff, for the players, for the organism that

294
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 1: Indianapolis absolutely tore their heads off and handed it back

295
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:22,000
Speaker 1: to him. I mean they just said, you know, thanks

296
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 1: for showing up and patted them on the behind as

297
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:26,640
Speaker 1: they send them home. I mean they embarrassed them. So

298
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:28,720
Speaker 1: the coaching staff is not going to sit there and

299
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 1: say I mean everybody's saying, hey, we're not gonna pay on,

300
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 1: but the coaching staff saying, hey, do better, and if

301
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:36,960
Speaker 1: you're it's time to make a change, we can't. We're

302
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:39,440
Speaker 1: not waiting on you guys to correct it. We're gonna

303
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:42,400
Speaker 1: get a guy an example of Isaiah McKenzie. I mean

304
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 1: they did, Yeah, they know two ways about. They think

305
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 1: about the guys down inside too. They got guys, we're

306
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 1: activating some guys. You're getting less reps because we're getting

307
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:56,560
Speaker 1: somebody else a chance up front on defense. You know,

308
00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 1: let's see what you got here? Who wants to play physical? Yeah?

309
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:03,200
Speaker 1: Basically that message. Yeah, and so I'm I'm all about it.

310
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:06,959
Speaker 1: I'm that's it's courageous and it's sent and I mean

311
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:10,959
Speaker 1: it sends a lasting and constant message to the roster

312
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 1: about listen, you not only better show up on side,

313
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,520
Speaker 1: you better show up on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday.

314
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 1: Let's not forget Mitch Moore sat down for an extra

315
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 1: week last year when he didn't have to because somebody

316
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:27,320
Speaker 1: was playing pretty good. I'm totally with you. Do you

317
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:30,880
Speaker 1: think they will not? One thing too that we got

318
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 1: to talk about is Tradavious White. Yeah, suffers a knee injury,

319
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:40,200
Speaker 1: non contact. His foot twisted in the turf and then

320
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 1: his knee bent in. Yeah, and I've seen these before

321
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:47,600
Speaker 1: when you have high impact, you know, tweaks of the knee.

322
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:52,960
Speaker 1: I remember J. P. Lassman had a similar injury to

323
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:56,480
Speaker 1: that and his leg did almost the same thing. Vince

324
00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 1: Wilford came in. It was a dirty hit, it was

325
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:02,159
Speaker 1: a contact injury. I'm really you know, I don't know

326
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 1: which kind of injury it is, but when you see

327
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 1: those guys, the knee kind of grinds down on the

328
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,880
Speaker 1: lower leg like that and it buckles. Sometimes. You see

329
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:14,480
Speaker 1: mcl sprains there. You thought, you know, you thought it

330
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:16,640
Speaker 1: was his ankle when it first happened, you know, Yeah,

331
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:19,240
Speaker 1: but who knows when We're gonna have to wait and

332
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:21,800
Speaker 1: see it'll be. He's got eleven days to get back

333
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:23,360
Speaker 1: in the saddle. And I know this too. If he's

334
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:26,000
Speaker 1: not ready, they won't play him. They'll go with Dame Jackson,

335
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 1: cam Lewis and the group and Levi. That'll change their philosophy.

336
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:33,200
Speaker 1: Though defensively, there's no question about it. Davis Wie is

337
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:35,680
Speaker 1: a different Davis is a difference maker. Yeah, it felt

338
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 1: terrible for him because it was the first time he

339
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:42,119
Speaker 1: was playing in Louisiana Superdome as a professional. Shreveport native

340
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:45,440
Speaker 1: had family and attendance so too. By the way, did

341
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:49,160
Speaker 1: Marcquez Stevenson. How about that your first NFL game, You're

342
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 1: play in the stadium, the NFL stadium closest to your

343
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 1: home and Shreveport. Mike God, I think that was a

344
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:56,119
Speaker 1: I think for McDermott that was a little something in

345
00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 1: that too. So you know, what, if we're gonna get

346
00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:02,760
Speaker 1: the maximized kid's chance and maximize his motivation to do well.

347
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:04,680
Speaker 1: Put up in front of fam, put him in front

348
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:07,800
Speaker 1: of family, back in his back in the hometown. That's

349
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:11,720
Speaker 1: I think it's I don't think that's nothing. That wasn't

350
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:15,520
Speaker 1: by accident. We got phone lines open eight O three

351
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:18,120
Speaker 1: oh five fifty one eight eight eight five fifty two

352

Speaker 1: takeaway from the victory last night. We also have in

00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 1: our number two Greg Cosell making his weekly appearance with us,

355
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:30,600
Speaker 1: only this time he's reviewing a game, not preparing us

356
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:33,560
Speaker 1: for one. So we'll talk to him about Bills Saints

357
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 1: and get some of his exes and O's thoughts on that.

358
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:38,760
Speaker 1: And then final half hour of the show, Maddie glab

00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 1: will join us for the Mattie Awards, as she does

360
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:43,920
Speaker 1: after every Bill's victory. But let's go to the phones

361
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:46,880
Speaker 1: at eight oh three five fifty one eighty eight five

362
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:49,080
Speaker 1: fifty two five fifty open line for you there. But

363
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:53,160
Speaker 1: we go and lead off with Dwayne in Ransomville. Dwayne,

364
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:54,720
Speaker 1: what do you have for us? You're on One Bill's Live.

365
00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:59,720
Speaker 1: I'd like to talk about the low tackling that this

366
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:03,400
Speaker 1: Saints did on the Bills. They were even whipping their

367
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:09,639
Speaker 1: legs around Josh Young and I thought that was illegal.

368
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:14,440
Speaker 1: The chop block is illegal. Oh you're talking about hitting

369
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 1: the quarterback low? Yeah, yeah, it is illegal. And they

370
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:21,479
Speaker 1: totally missed it. And coach McDermott was hot about it

371
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:25,359
Speaker 1: after the game. He was really walking a fine line

372
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:30,760
Speaker 1: of getting fine for criticizing officiating. He was hot about that,

373
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:34,320
Speaker 1: really not happy at all. And you're gonna try to

374
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:36,600
Speaker 1: find the quote while Steve kind of there's all kinds

375
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:38,480
Speaker 1: of stuff and people saw it, and a lot of

376
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:40,679
Speaker 1: people are on your on that bandwagon with you. They

377
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:42,480
Speaker 1: feel the exact same way as you. Dwayne. Of course

378
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:46,040
Speaker 1: is mostly it's Bills fans that you always point to,

379
00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 1: guys like if if it happened to Ben Roethlisberger or

380
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 1: Tom Brady or Aaron Rodgers and the elite quarterbacks. That

381
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:57,840
Speaker 1: call gets made without even a question, and Josh is

382
00:20:57,880 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 1: sitting there looking at the guy like and the guy's

383
00:20:59,880 --> 00:21:04,439
Speaker 1: like what he's like, he wasn't even watching for it,

384
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 1: and it wasn't good. Yeah, it was not good. And

385
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:11,919
Speaker 1: think about it. Ed Oliver got called last week for

386
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:15,200
Speaker 1: the same thing coming in low behind, low behind got

387
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:17,920
Speaker 1: called for another one in that game. Yeah, why them?

388
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:20,600
Speaker 1: And not that? Why that? Those are not that one

389
00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:22,960
Speaker 1: that we just watched. Yeah, and so you're you're on

390
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 1: the money with that. I agree with you, Dwayne. So

391
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:27,720
Speaker 1: you're right. Yeah, thanks for the call. We appreciate it.

392
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:30,040
Speaker 1: I will say that I found coaches quote on it

393
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:32,440
Speaker 1: last night because I was, you know, covering the press conference,

394
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:36,520
Speaker 1: and he basically said, I know we had the one

395
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:38,720
Speaker 1: penalty on the quarterback. I think he's referring to the

396
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:41,800
Speaker 1: Ed Oliver hit. I thought they should be called for one,

397
00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:45,199
Speaker 1: quite honestly, on Josh, I'm really frustrated that that doesn't

398
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:48,840
Speaker 1: get called. That's clear as day to see that. I

399
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:51,720
Speaker 1: just want to protect my quarterback. I thought, overall, we

400
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:55,200
Speaker 1: played more disciplined, playing with better technique. So it's got

401
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 1: to continue in terms of not getting called for a

402
00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:58,879
Speaker 1: lot of penalties. But he was hot. He was not

403
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:01,960
Speaker 1: happy about that. Yeah. Yeah, and it's it's exactly the

404
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:05,639
Speaker 1: kind of thing it gets a guy put out of

405
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:07,600
Speaker 1: the game. Well, yeah, it's the most important player on

406
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:13,920
Speaker 1: the field. That's why that exact thing is. That's why

407
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:16,120
Speaker 1: that's why the penalty is there too. And I think

408
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:19,720
Speaker 1: the official, the official was worried about Josh throwing it.

409
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 1: He was throwing. Josh Is obviously thrown it away, but

410
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:24,240
Speaker 1: Devin Single, the official was worried about seeing if somebody

411
00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:26,800
Speaker 1: was there to throw it too. He didn't watch the play.

412
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:32,040
Speaker 1: The quarterback, you know, watching that's his job. He's got

413
00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:34,280
Speaker 1: another guy on the sidelines. It's gonna watch for the

414
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:37,280
Speaker 1: somebody to throw the football too. Let's go to Rick

415
00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:39,399
Speaker 1: in Rochester next, Rick, what do you have for us?

416
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:42,639
Speaker 1: You're on One Bill's Live. Hey, guys, great show. Uh.

417
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:45,960
Speaker 1: I got another take on that. Uh. The acceleration of

418
00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:50,760
Speaker 1: Marcy Stevenson over Isaiah Isaiah mackenzie. Do you think because

419
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 1: playing in the Dome, they wanted to accelerate the tribeer

420
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:56,159
Speaker 1: there's not to be no elements, no wind as a

421
00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:58,280
Speaker 1: poster throwing him up there? You know that Orchard Park

422
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:00,719
Speaker 1: with the wind a Bill Stadium or sometime when they

423
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:03,399
Speaker 1: wanted to introduce them. And true, you think that accelerated

424
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:05,480
Speaker 1: playing inside the Dome? I mean, yeah, yeah, it could

425
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:07,320
Speaker 1: have been a consideration. I don't think we could rule

426
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:09,639
Speaker 1: it out, Rick, It's it's a valid point. I wouldn't

427
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:12,960
Speaker 1: rule it out. I don't Yeah, I don't know that. Um,

428
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:15,919
Speaker 1: I don't know that that's the reason or maybe a

429
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 1: contributing factor. I think it was probably more of a

430
00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:21,760
Speaker 1: bonus than anything. Yeah, Um, I think they were happy

431
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:24,000
Speaker 1: for mark Quez to put him in there when he

432
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:25,919
Speaker 1: didn't have to do it in a rainstorm like Isaiah

433
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:29,160
Speaker 1: McKenzie's been doing. So Yeah, I think that was a plus.

434
00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:32,320
Speaker 1: Probably gave him a little more confidence that Marquez. Marquez

435
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:34,480
Speaker 1: wouldn't have to you know, it wouldn't be so hard

436
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:37,520
Speaker 1: to feel the kicks because it was indoors. I think

437
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:39,199
Speaker 1: that was more of a bonus than a reason to

438
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:41,720
Speaker 1: do it, and it probably gave him some more confidence.

439
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:45,320
Speaker 1: So I wouldn't say it was, you know, on top,

440
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:48,080
Speaker 1: you know, I wouldn't say it was a reason that

441
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:50,159
Speaker 1: they did it, but I'm sure it was a probably

442
00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 1: a more comforting factor more than anything else. Let's go

443
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:55,679
Speaker 1: to Kevin in Hamburg next. Kevin, what do you have

444
00:23:55,720 --> 00:24:01,120
Speaker 1: for us? You guys? Yeah, you enjoyed it to you too.

445
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:04,720
Speaker 1: I'm glad we wanted as good as we did yesterday

446
00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:08,720
Speaker 1: because if we were struggled the way the Bears barely

447
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:11,560
Speaker 1: beat the Lions and the Raiders barely beating the Boys.

448
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:13,480
Speaker 1: You know, that was a hell of a good game too.

449
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:15,960
Speaker 1: I think it would not have looked good going in

450
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:19,280
Speaker 1: the next weeks against New England, depending on what they

451
00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 1: do with Tennessee, because I'm glad we would barely beat them,

452
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:26,359
Speaker 1: and tense he lost, you'd be like, Oh, this thing's

453
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:29,920
Speaker 1: gonna look good. Yeah, I get the momentum argument there.

454
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 1: I do m this team was so shorthanded. I kind

455
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:35,919
Speaker 1: of thought the Bills would kind of handle them pretty easily,

456
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:38,520
Speaker 1: and I'm glad that they did come through on that,

457
00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:40,960
Speaker 1: despite the fact that they still had a couple of

458
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:44,000
Speaker 1: turnovers four first half, first career turnover in the red

459
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:46,680
Speaker 1: zone for Josh Allen last night. We've also thought at

460
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:49,680
Speaker 1: times this year that they were gonna win big over

461
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:51,960
Speaker 1: other teams when they couldn't get it done. So yeah,

462
00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:54,520
Speaker 1: I'm with you, and I said that a little earlier

463
00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:57,840
Speaker 1: in the show too. I think this was a game

464
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:01,320
Speaker 1: in retrospect now, having we didn't know what we're going

465
00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:03,280
Speaker 1: to see out of the New Orleans Saints, you know

466
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:05,479
Speaker 1: what I mean. So we didn't know how they were

467
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:09,400
Speaker 1: gonna play, but having seen them and to see them

468
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:11,840
Speaker 1: play the way they did, and then if we'd just

469
00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:13,640
Speaker 1: barely beatn him, Yeah, it would have been a different

470
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:18,440
Speaker 1: feeling today. Yeah, and you know, the win is nice.

471
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:22,560
Speaker 1: Puts you at seven and four, and that's where you

472
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:25,320
Speaker 1: want to be going into this next game against the Patriots,

473
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:30,720
Speaker 1: which is gonna be seismic in nature. We mentioned the

474
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:34,000
Speaker 1: Trey White injury. There was also Reggie Gilliam who went

475
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,320
Speaker 1: out with an ankle injury. Later in the game. We

476
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:38,840
Speaker 1: had a revolving door at right guard for a minute there.

477
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:42,479
Speaker 1: Cody Ford goes out with an arm injury, questionable to return.

478
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:45,000
Speaker 1: Ryan Bates comes in, plays about a series and a half,

479
00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:47,480
Speaker 1: he gets injured, he comes off, and then they have

480
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:50,240
Speaker 1: Jamil Douglas on the field, who's a four year VET

481
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:53,399
Speaker 1: who's been around the league. And then Ford eventually returned

482
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:56,600
Speaker 1: to the game. But that was a little harrowing for

483
00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:59,680
Speaker 1: a little bit there too. Let's get one more in

484
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:04,240
Speaker 1: year before the break. We've got Kevin in Rochester. Kevin,

485
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:05,720
Speaker 1: what do you have for us? You're on one Bills Live,

486
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:09,959
Speaker 1: very happy, thanks getting to everyone, great win for the Bill's.

487
00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:13,959
Speaker 1: Tough game for both teams without the personnel that was out.

488
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:17,560
Speaker 1: I noticed over the last four or five games, Jeff

489
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:22,159
Speaker 1: Hallen has been successful with drawing the opponent's soft side.

490
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:25,480
Speaker 1: They noticed that it seems to to be one. He's

491
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:28,879
Speaker 1: using a longer cadence. He doesn't snap the ball until

492
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:31,400
Speaker 1: he says is the word ohm on. I'm just wondering

493
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:35,520
Speaker 1: if anyone seems to meet defensive people have picked up

494
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:38,439
Speaker 1: on that as well, and don't know if anyone's maybe

495
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:41,360
Speaker 1: brought that to the attention that maybe that's something that's

496
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:48,320
Speaker 1: been overused at this point. Hard to say, but you know,

497
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:51,720
Speaker 1: they study and check everything when they're doing film study.

498
00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:53,879
Speaker 1: I mean, anything they can pick up to get an

499
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:56,320
Speaker 1: advantage on the opponent or to know the opponent better,

500
00:26:57,000 --> 00:27:00,760
Speaker 1: they're going to utilize him. They hope that everybody knows

501
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:02,720
Speaker 1: it at this point because now all you got to

502
00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:04,920
Speaker 1: do is change it. Yeah, and then when they think

503
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:08,040
Speaker 1: they know it, they don't know it. So yeah, they

504
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:10,520
Speaker 1: I mean, who knows. It may be pointed all at

505
00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:12,199
Speaker 1: the Patriots games. So they come out and do that

506
00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:13,960
Speaker 1: once in the first half and then change it up

507
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:18,320
Speaker 1: in the second half and get one. But we've seen

508
00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:22,199
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott do it a handful of times over the years.

509
00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:26,600
Speaker 1: Here in Buffalo once or twice a season where they

510
00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:29,080
Speaker 1: go out on a very on a fourth and very short,

511
00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:31,080
Speaker 1: like they're gonna line up and do it, and they

512
00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:32,639
Speaker 1: call them, They try to get them off side. It

513
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:34,479
Speaker 1: doesn't work. They take a time out. And last year

514
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:36,720
Speaker 1: last night they took a delayed game as well, so

515
00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:40,360
Speaker 1: some people were really mad about why wasted time out

516
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:45,040
Speaker 1: to do that, But you know, they try every angle

517
00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:48,800
Speaker 1: and they got they test the discipline of the other team.

518
00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:51,320
Speaker 1: And now one of the things too. On a team

519
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:53,760
Speaker 1: like Tennessee and certainly a team like New England, they're

520
00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:58,400
Speaker 1: smart enough and have done it themselves enough, they will

521
00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:01,560
Speaker 1: get an idea that that's coming from Josh Allen. He's

522
00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:03,000
Speaker 1: going to try and draw them off sides, and they

523
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:06,280
Speaker 1: will try and draw the Bills off sides. They will

524
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:10,080
Speaker 1: go through all the motions of jumping into the neutral

525
00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:12,720
Speaker 1: zone without jumping into the neutral zone and get the

526
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:15,280
Speaker 1: Bills to react, and it's a penalty on the bills

527
00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:21,760
Speaker 1: that works both ways. So yeah, exactly, yes, Just to

528
00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:25,520
Speaker 1: update you on the state of the AFC conference standings.

529
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:29,000
Speaker 1: After Buffalo's win over New Orleans last night, they vaulted

530
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:31,280
Speaker 1: themselves from the seventh seed up to the three seed.

531
00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:35,000
Speaker 1: So it is now Tennessee Baltimore Buffalo. Buffalo is ahead

532
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:37,800
Speaker 1: of Kansas City, who is also seven and four by

533
00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:40,600
Speaker 1: virtue of their head to head win over the Chiefs,

534
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:44,080
Speaker 1: and then New England seven and four in the fifth spot,

535
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:47,040
Speaker 1: Cincinnati six and four in the sixth spot, and the

536
00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:50,640
Speaker 1: Chargers move into spot number seven at six and four.

537
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:54,600
Speaker 1: So that's your situation as far as the AFC standings

538
00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:57,160
Speaker 1: go as of now. Obviously they'll change with this weekend's

539
00:28:57,160 --> 00:29:01,160
Speaker 1: action and we'll recap this whole situation again on Monday.

540
00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:04,200
Speaker 1: But they just vaulted themselves up four spots with a win.

541
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:08,760
Speaker 1: You beat New England on Monday night. You know, in

542
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:12,600
Speaker 1: ten days now you're eight and four and more importantly

543
00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:15,719
Speaker 1: New England seven and five, and you hope you can

544
00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:18,640
Speaker 1: keep standing wins to keep increasing the distance between you

545
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:21,200
Speaker 1: and them. I think what you kind of hope for.

546
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:26,120
Speaker 1: I don't know what you're only you're two games behind Tennessee,

547
00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:28,640
Speaker 1: and I don't know whether you you don't have the

548
00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:31,840
Speaker 1: head to head right, So that's what I'm saying. It's no,

549
00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:34,520
Speaker 1: it's two, it's one two, it's they're one game behind

550
00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:36,320
Speaker 1: them in the standings, but they're two games because of

551
00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:38,080
Speaker 1: the head to head. If New England beats them tonight,

552
00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:40,400
Speaker 1: and you beat New England, you're back in the hunt

553
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:45,560
Speaker 1: for the one seed, depending on what Baltimore does. Yeah,

554
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:48,280
Speaker 1: I mean, nobody's out of this. Kansas City's still thinking

555
00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:51,320
Speaker 1: one seed now. They're seven and four, just like Buffalo,

556
00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:54,680
Speaker 1: Cincinnati and the Chargers, The Bengals and the Chargers. All

557
00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:58,360
Speaker 1: these teams are within one game of the one seed,

558
00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:03,000
Speaker 1: and that's the top seven. And Pittsburgh has four losses

559
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:06,680
Speaker 1: and one tie. I mean, there's a lot of football

560
00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:09,960
Speaker 1: we got, you know, six Bills have six games, Patriots have.

561
00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:13,240
Speaker 1: All these teams have six games left wells by the

562
00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:15,280
Speaker 1: end of this weekend. By the end of the weekend,

563
00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:17,280
Speaker 1: the Bills will still have a game in hand on

564
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:19,880
Speaker 1: the Patriots because the Patriots bye week is not until

565
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:25,440
Speaker 1: Week fourteen. The Patriots, though, think about it. They've got Tennessee, Buffalo,

566
00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:28,880
Speaker 1: the bye, then Indianapolis, then Buffalo. This is a tough

567
00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:31,720
Speaker 1: stretch for New England. This is a critical stretch for

568
00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:34,120
Speaker 1: them as well, so it'll be interesting to see how

569
00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:40,240
Speaker 1: they weather it. But there's no question the Buffalo New England, Tennessee, Baltimore,

570
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:44,160
Speaker 1: Kansas City. All of those teams feel like you've got

571
00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:45,800
Speaker 1: to win out if you want to get a bye

572
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:48,480
Speaker 1: for the playoffs. We have to take a break here,

573
00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:50,600
Speaker 1: but we will get back to your phone calls when

574
00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:52,800

587
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:40,440
Speaker 1: is Don on a sell. Don, what do you have

588
00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:44,040
Speaker 1: for us? You're on One Bills Live. Hey, how are

589
00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:47,720
Speaker 1: you love the game? You've talked in earlier about how

590
00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:52,560
Speaker 1: coach McDermott was pretty hot, but you know, risk being fine.

591
00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:54,560
Speaker 1: And then you're talking about Josh kitt and hit low.

592
00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:58,960
Speaker 1: First couple of plays of the game, the gate, the

593
00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:04,200
Speaker 1: defensive lineman headbutted the Josh. Yep saw that too, yep um.

594
00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:08,000
Speaker 1: I think the following play, a little swing past the singletary,

595
00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:10,680
Speaker 1: he got tackled. The guys stood up, stood over him,

596
00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:14,040
Speaker 1: and tone of him. Ye ye, yep, I saw him both,

597
00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:17,320
Speaker 1: Don I was. I was just as I was checking

598
00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:20,520
Speaker 1: for rain. I was shocked checking for rain last night.

599
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:22,920
Speaker 1: What's going on? I was shocked at the headbutt on

600
00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:27,720
Speaker 1: Josh Allen did not get called shocked, same thing. I thought,

601
00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:30,760
Speaker 1: okay that you could argue that was a helmet hit

602
00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:35,280
Speaker 1: and taunting all the same thing. Yeah it was. Yeah,

603
00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:38,080
Speaker 1: so it could have been on sportsmanlike as well as

604
00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:40,520
Speaker 1: to I mean, if you want to do in this

605
00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:42,880
Speaker 1: day and age and in this environment. I'm I was

606
00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:45,480
Speaker 1: shocked that was not called. I am absolutely shocked it's

607
00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:48,840
Speaker 1: not called now. It's so, I was horribly inconsistent. Was

608
00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:53,520
Speaker 1: that the kid that he played college football with Granderson?

609
00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:57,800
Speaker 1: I don't remember. I think it was so that play, Yeah,

610
00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:00,280
Speaker 1: that might have been everybody, Hey, do it. Yeah, it

611
00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:02,120
Speaker 1: might have been like they might have been John friendly

612
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:04,560
Speaker 1: and stuff, but Josh kind of like, hey, you know, yeah,

613
00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:07,120
Speaker 1: well he always tries doing Bill. It's I would do

614
00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:11,200
Speaker 1: the same. That's you almost yeah, practice that stuff, but

615
00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:16,560
Speaker 1: I know he does. But yeah, I was surprised. Shocked us, right,

616
00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:19,640
Speaker 1: the guy did stand over Singletary. Well, all of us,

617
00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:22,640
Speaker 1: every Bills fan everywhere, watching all the Bills games and

618

Speaker 1: whatever other games that are thrown at you that you

619
00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:27,200
Speaker 1: need to watch. You feel good about watching whatever games

620
00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:29,800
Speaker 1: you can take in. We've all been watching this season

621
00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:34,160
Speaker 1: and all of us just want one thing. Just call

622
00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:38,200
Speaker 1: it the same for everybody. I don't taunting, and it's

623
00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:40,720
Speaker 1: it's a it's a tickie tach callan. If you're calling

624
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:47,400
Speaker 1: him against everybody, fine, but call it against everybody. Just

625
00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:51,800
Speaker 1: do it the same case. Bills fans are wondering it

626
00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:56,200
Speaker 1: was Brad Allen's crew last night that officiated the game. Um,

627
00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:58,080
Speaker 1: you guys got the same last name as Josh. Can't

628
00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:01,040
Speaker 1: even throw him a bone on a helmet, yeah, or

629
00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:05,880
Speaker 1: a low tackle back to the phones. Jeff in Baldwinsville, Jeff,

630
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:09,040
Speaker 1: what do you have for us? Hey, guys, how you

631
00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:13,200
Speaker 1: doing good? Thank you? Oh yeah, long time listener, first

632
00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:15,520
Speaker 1: time caller. Right, you know, it seemed like the running

633
00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:17,239
Speaker 1: game had little bit of a spark last night. And

634
00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:19,239
Speaker 1: I don't know if it was brighter or well, but

635
00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:20,880
Speaker 1: what do you guys think about maybe a little more

636
00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:23,120
Speaker 1: fullback used head ends try and keep that spark going

637
00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:25,759
Speaker 1: in our running game. Yeah. I don't know if it's

638
00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:28,680
Speaker 1: necessarily because you had a fullback on the field. Brian

639
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:31,200
Speaker 1: Dable isn't shy about using twenty one personnel and he

640
00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:32,920
Speaker 1: came out with it last night at the beginning of

641
00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:37,720
Speaker 1: the game. I will say that they did. The running

642
00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:39,960
Speaker 1: game did have a spark again last night. You look

643
00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:43,120
Speaker 1: at the final stat sheet, they weren't overly productive in

644
00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:45,760
Speaker 1: terms of a yards per carry average, but I thought

645
00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:49,239
Speaker 1: some of the runs were productive at the right times

646
00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:52,960
Speaker 1: to keep them on schedule. There were still times where

647
00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:55,800
Speaker 1: there was too much penetration in the backfield where offensive

648
00:34:55,800 --> 00:35:00,080
Speaker 1: linemen were not winning, but I think there were there

649
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:03,479
Speaker 1: are also some carries in there that were productive, and

650
00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:06,680
Speaker 1: coach McDermott pretty much said that too. He said, look,

651
00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:10,759
Speaker 1: I thought that we ran the ball better in the

652
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:12,680
Speaker 1: second half than we did in the first half. If

653
00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:15,840
Speaker 1: you look at the numbers, it's almost identical. Sixteen carries

654
00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:19,480
Speaker 1: for fifty What did I do? I wrote it down,

655
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:21,719
Speaker 1: hold on sixteen carries for fifty five yards in the

656
00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:24,360
Speaker 1: first half, sixteen carries for fifty eight yards of the

657
00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:26,520
Speaker 1: second half. I mean it was almost identical. We ran

658
00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:28,680
Speaker 1: better on the second half. Okay, coach, we got wait

659
00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:32,080
Speaker 1: wait Worth, I got it. I might take on this.

660
00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:35,560
Speaker 1: It's probably not really popular, and it's not might be

661
00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:38,560
Speaker 1: nobody wants to hear it. But they ran the ball

662
00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:41,319
Speaker 1: better last night because Josh had five incompletions on the

663
00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:44,040
Speaker 1: night he was twenty, you know, I mean he The

664
00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:47,080
Speaker 1: pass sets up the run. That's why they ran better

665
00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:49,240
Speaker 1: last night. They it's not that they were more physical

666
00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:52,480
Speaker 1: or better or whatever whatever, because they were worried about

667
00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:55,520
Speaker 1: Josh completing yet another pass on him. The passing game

668
00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:58,480
Speaker 1: sets up the running game. They threw it lights out

669
00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:01,240
Speaker 1: last night, and when they did, Josh ran for first

670
00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:03,880
Speaker 1: downs and was sliding out of bounds or getting cart wheeled.

671
00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:07,000
Speaker 1: They got cart wheeled one time. Josh made him pay

672
00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:09,439
Speaker 1: when they ran certain coverages and they didn't watch out

673
00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:11,160
Speaker 1: for him. They didn't contain him. He made him pay

674
00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:14,840
Speaker 1: for it. So they ran the ball. But in my opinion,

675
00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:17,360
Speaker 1: they ran the ball better last night because Josh was

676
00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:19,880
Speaker 1: crushing him. I will say, those legs and his arm,

677
00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:22,000
Speaker 1: I will say on the opening drive, though Matt Breeder

678
00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:24,600
Speaker 1: goes four carries nineteen yards, I mean, there are a

679
00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:27,400
Speaker 1: couple of runs he looked like he got. And Singletary

680
00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:29,160
Speaker 1: came in and played later in the game, and he

681
00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:31,600
Speaker 1: made some really nice runs, some tough runs, got the

682
00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:34,439
Speaker 1: ball down inside the five on a sixteen yard run.

683
00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:38,040
Speaker 1: I mean that was from the twenty. He He had

684
00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:40,839
Speaker 1: some really nice moments last night, no question about it.

685
00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:46,200
Speaker 1: And I and they did. And I agree the running

686
00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:48,839
Speaker 1: game was a bigger factor last night. But it's my

687
00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:52,680
Speaker 1: contention that it is because you know, Josh and Steph

688
00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:56,680
Speaker 1: and the rest were winning outside. I think you have

689
00:36:56,680 --> 00:37:00,319
Speaker 1: a fair argument there. Um, there was no great We're

690
00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:02,799
Speaker 1: talking about a couple of Josh Allen scrambles mixed in here,

691
00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:05,560
Speaker 1: but seven of those plays on the opening ten plays

692
00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:07,640
Speaker 1: scoring drive to start the game for them, on their

693
00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:11,320
Speaker 1: first possession run plays. Seven of their first ten plays

694
00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:14,279
Speaker 1: run plays. Um, And like I said, a couple of

695
00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:17,279
Speaker 1: more Alan scrambles, but still, in all I think there

696
00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:19,640
Speaker 1: was a concerted effort to keep a healthy and it's

697
00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:23,400
Speaker 1: probably right if Josh dropped back, it probably ran twice

698
00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:27,560
Speaker 1: right on that drive and the ramble twice, so it's

699
00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:30,640
Speaker 1: probably fifty fifty. But that balance is there for a reason. Yeah,

700
00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:33,600
Speaker 1: he threw for the four touchdowns, did Josh, But you know,

701
00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:36,439
Speaker 1: the one touchdown that really got me. Obviously we saw

702
00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:39,319
Speaker 1: the digs route on the other side against Latimore, which

703
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:42,160
Speaker 1: was which screwed him into the ground, which is great

704
00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:46,240
Speaker 1: if they've got him isoed and some space and Josh

705
00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:48,319
Speaker 1: has that kind of time to let him work his

706
00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:52,040
Speaker 1: magic means and throws it that accurately with that much zip,

707
00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:55,399
Speaker 1: you can't defend it. It's just, you know, it's too

708
00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:59,520
Speaker 1: hard to do and right. So, but the past that

709
00:37:59,560 --> 00:38:01,800
Speaker 1: really got me was the screen passed to Breeda for

710
00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:04,360
Speaker 1: the twenty two yards and a touchdown. Breeda catches against

711
00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:08,439
Speaker 1: the interference, he runs through a through a crowd and

712
00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:11,880
Speaker 1: he's there, I mean, he's just his speed made a difference.

713
00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:16,080
Speaker 1: And then the two Dawcent Knox touchdowns were fantastic, actually three,

714
00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:20,640
Speaker 1: one of them didn't count, So yeah, it was a.

715
00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:23,759
Speaker 1: It was a really good night for Josh Um. He

716
00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:26,560
Speaker 1: threw his first red zone interception in his arm got

717
00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:29,280
Speaker 1: hit because he didn't want to take the easy one early,

718
00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:31,759
Speaker 1: waited for the deep one it was covered and tried

719
00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:33,120
Speaker 1: to come back to it too late and got his

720
00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:39,440
Speaker 1: arm hit. So it was Yeah, I just thought the

721
00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:43,480
Speaker 1: running game was a great compliment last night. They they

722
00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:47,280
Speaker 1: established their desire and ability to split the difference between

723
00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:49,080
Speaker 1: the run and pass early in that game, and I

724
00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:51,440
Speaker 1: think it paid dividends later on. I mean, Josh completed

725
00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:53,800
Speaker 1: eighty one percent last night. I will say that Breeda's

726
00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:56,200
Speaker 1: speed is an asset because he you know, you talked

727
00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:58,879
Speaker 1: about all the problems that this team has had on screenplays.

728
00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:02,440
Speaker 1: He's on a screenplay there, and that's a traditional screenplay.

729
00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:05,840
Speaker 1: There's nothing fancy about that screenplay because he's so damned fast.

730
00:39:06,200 --> 00:39:07,879
Speaker 1: The guys out in front they have to block, don't

731
00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:09,879
Speaker 1: have to block as long because he's already passed them.

732
00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:14,440
Speaker 1: He that's a screenplay that's designed to go up the sideline.

733
00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:17,799
Speaker 1: He cut it back inside and Mitch Morris held his

734
00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:19,880
Speaker 1: block long enough on the inside there to not let

735
00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:22,239
Speaker 1: the linebacker or the safety get over to him and

736
00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:24,120
Speaker 1: Breeda gets in the end zone on a twenty three

737
00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:27,240
Speaker 1: yard play. I mean, I don't know if that's happening

738
00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:30,360
Speaker 1: with Moss or Singletary. Right, Yeah, it was. It was

739
00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:32,439
Speaker 1: a good night. And I liked, you know, the fact

740
00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:37,799
Speaker 1: that they're running screen plat passes these days. Yeah, well

741
00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:39,640
Speaker 1: it backs people off of Josh. Yeah, it was a

742
00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:43,680
Speaker 1: good It was a good night. The Saints weren't up

743
00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:46,040
Speaker 1: to the challenge. I mean, they just weren't. They were

744
00:39:46,080 --> 00:39:49,600
Speaker 1: outgunned and outmanned last night. It looked like it. And

745
00:39:50,560 --> 00:39:53,040
Speaker 1: while the Bills played the way they should have, I

746
00:39:53,120 --> 00:39:55,240
Speaker 1: still think they left a lot of things on the field.

747
00:39:55,239 --> 00:39:57,520
Speaker 1: And you know, with Josh throwing two picks like he did,

748
00:39:59,719 --> 00:40:04,200
Speaker 1: you know, there's a lot of things to clean up. Yeah,

749
00:40:04,200 --> 00:40:06,359
Speaker 1: but that's more about that's more like the football team

750
00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:07,840
Speaker 1: we thought we were going to get when the season

751
00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:10,879
Speaker 1: kicked off. Let's get back to the phones and we're

752
00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:13,080
Speaker 1: going to Jack in Cheek Tawagan acts Jack, what do

753
00:40:13,160 --> 00:40:16,440
Speaker 1: you have here? On One Bill's Live. Hey, guys like

754
00:40:16,520 --> 00:40:19,799
Speaker 1: to talk about the old line. And you've both made

755
00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:22,799
Speaker 1: the point in previous shows that you know, we've got

756
00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:25,320
Speaker 1: to depend on the coaching staff. They see these guys

757
00:40:25,480 --> 00:40:28,360
Speaker 1: day in day out, you know they know what the

758
00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:31,520
Speaker 1: status is. But if we've got a number three draft

759
00:40:31,520 --> 00:40:36,040
Speaker 1: pick like Spencer Brown, who you know, one that's starting

760
00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:40,440
Speaker 1: right tackle job because of his skill and his physicality

761
00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:45,280
Speaker 1: and his ability, but you know he's not available, why

762
00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:50,200
Speaker 1: aren't we starting our number four guy, Tommy Doyle at

763
00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:54,000
Speaker 1: right tackle and putting Williams back in a guard because

764
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:58,200
Speaker 1: that solves two problems. If Doyle is up to the job,

765
00:40:58,200 --> 00:41:01,799
Speaker 1: and if he's not, he considered a bust. Well, no,

766
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:04,719
Speaker 1: you you just you may have answered your own question. Jack.

767
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:08,000
Speaker 1: He's not starting because he's not ready in the eyes

768
00:41:08,040 --> 00:41:10,000
Speaker 1: of the coaching staff. If he was ready, he'd be

769
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:13,640
Speaker 1: out there. And it's clear that they don't believe that.

770
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:16,359
Speaker 1: He came in for one snap in the Jets game

771
00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:19,160
Speaker 1: when Dion Dawkins got shaken up, lined up a left tackle,

772
00:41:19,239 --> 00:41:24,160
Speaker 1: gave up a sack, played one snap. I don't The

773
00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:26,600
Speaker 1: only reason he's not out there, you can surmise, is

774
00:41:26,640 --> 00:41:28,560
Speaker 1: that they don't think he's ready to handle that role.

775
00:41:28,680 --> 00:41:32,879
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know where. You can't land anywhere else? Really, yeah, right,

776
00:41:33,680 --> 00:41:36,120
Speaker 1: if he was ready, would and here's the thing, too.

777
00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:39,000
Speaker 1: If he was ready, he would prove it in practice

778
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:41,759
Speaker 1: that he was ready, and they would they would know it. Now,

779
00:41:41,840 --> 00:41:44,480
Speaker 1: that doesn't mean they've given up on him. No, he's

780
00:41:44,480 --> 00:41:48,200
Speaker 1: a rookie, yeah, and that doesn't mean that he's not,

781
00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:52,080
Speaker 1: you know, in their plans for the future. But he's

782
00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:56,440
Speaker 1: got to get better. And I mean, what are you

783
00:41:56,440 --> 00:41:59,560
Speaker 1: gonna do if if you just if you, it's too

784
00:41:59,560 --> 00:42:03,239
Speaker 1: early to do that. Because if you decide you're gonna

785
00:42:03,239 --> 00:42:05,200
Speaker 1: be done with him, what happens when he when he

786
00:42:05,239 --> 00:42:08,080
Speaker 1: pulls a Wyatt teller onion, becomes an All pro Yeah,

787
00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:11,480
Speaker 1: because he develops. Yea, let him grow and some I

788
00:42:11,520 --> 00:42:14,920
Speaker 1: mean Steve, Steve's seen this with teammates. We've watched this

789
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:18,360
Speaker 1: league long enough to know that rookies develop at different rates.

790
00:42:18,760 --> 00:42:22,560
Speaker 1: Spencer Brown's on the fast track. Tommy Doyle isn't. That's

791
00:42:22,600 --> 00:42:24,319
Speaker 1: why one was drafted in the third round the other

792
00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:26,680
Speaker 1: one was drafted in the fifth round. There might be

793
00:42:26,719 --> 00:42:28,120
Speaker 1: a little you might need a little bit more of

794
00:42:28,160 --> 00:42:31,160
Speaker 1: an on ramp for Tommy Doyle before it all clicks

795
00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:33,720
Speaker 1: for him. And he's playing the consistent type of football

796
00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:37,080
Speaker 1: where the coaching staff trusts him implicitly, especially in a

797
00:42:37,160 --> 00:42:40,799
Speaker 1: road environment and a don't yeah, I'm they're not giving

798
00:42:40,880 --> 00:42:47,440
Speaker 1: up on him yet. Certainly there's reason why he's not

799
00:42:47,520 --> 00:42:49,759
Speaker 1: on the field. He's not ready, and they got And

800
00:42:49,960 --> 00:42:53,000
Speaker 1: like we said before, sometimes it's not about just taking

801
00:42:53,040 --> 00:42:55,160
Speaker 1: a tackle off the field and plugging another tackle in.

802
00:42:55,400 --> 00:42:58,040
Speaker 1: Darryl Williams plays right tackle better than Tommy Doyle does

803
00:42:58,040 --> 00:43:00,719
Speaker 1: at this point, and that leaves the ards to come

804
00:43:00,760 --> 00:43:03,640
Speaker 1: in and fill in those spots, and the better and

805
00:43:03,719 --> 00:43:06,520
Speaker 1: the five the total five guys up front is better

806
00:43:07,480 --> 00:43:09,960
Speaker 1: than they would be if you just plug Tommy Doyle

807
00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:12,200
Speaker 1: in at right tackle and left everybody else. As is

808
00:43:13,120 --> 00:43:15,560
Speaker 1: break time for us here. We'll squeeze in a few

809

00:44:02,920 --> 00:44:07,080
Speaker 1: quickly as we listened to Josh, who also threw a

820
00:44:07,120 --> 00:44:13,160
Speaker 1: couple of touchdown passes to tight end Dawson Knox, he

821
00:44:13,239 --> 00:44:15,160
Speaker 1: continues to get better when the balls in the air,

822
00:44:15,280 --> 00:44:18,759
Speaker 1: especially just making plays on the football. He's gonna be

823
00:44:18,800 --> 00:44:22,000
Speaker 1: bigger than most dbs and faster than most linebackers and

824
00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:24,400
Speaker 1: shoot maybe and faster than most dbs. I mean, he's

825
00:44:24,440 --> 00:44:28,839
Speaker 1: got unbrell athleticism and he's putting it together right now.

826
00:44:28,840 --> 00:44:30,799
Speaker 1: It's really fun to be playing with him. On top

827
00:44:30,800 --> 00:44:33,720
Speaker 1: of that, he's just a great person off the field

828
00:44:33,719 --> 00:44:35,719
Speaker 1: as well, and just you see the type of man

829
00:44:35,840 --> 00:44:37,399
Speaker 1: that he is, and it's a guy that you want

830
00:44:37,440 --> 00:44:39,480
Speaker 1: to play with because he's going to give you the

831
00:44:39,520 --> 00:44:42,840
Speaker 1: respect that you want to give him. And he's just

832
00:44:42,840 --> 00:44:46,239
Speaker 1: an awesome teammate. So around the locker room presented by

833
00:44:46,239 --> 00:44:51,799
Speaker 1: a Connect Life your blood and organ donor Network. Knox. Uh,

834
00:44:52,719 --> 00:44:56,120
Speaker 1: he wasn't busy until they were down in the red zone.

835
00:44:56,760 --> 00:44:59,000
Speaker 1: I mean, he caught a he got a touchdown pass

836
00:44:59,080 --> 00:45:04,720
Speaker 1: early in the game, and then he catches one other

837
00:45:04,760 --> 00:45:07,759
Speaker 1: ball for about two quarters and then he catches the

838
00:45:07,760 --> 00:45:10,120
Speaker 1: next one at the touchdown on fourth and two, Yeah,

839
00:45:11,440 --> 00:45:14,160
Speaker 1: which were QUI Yeah. It was an interesting description that

840
00:45:14,160 --> 00:45:16,799
Speaker 1: he had of the second touchdown, Steve, because he said,

841
00:45:17,560 --> 00:45:20,960
Speaker 1: my assignment there is to block the defensive end and

842
00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:23,880
Speaker 1: then release. On the fourth and two, he said, nobody

843
00:45:23,920 --> 00:45:28,680
Speaker 1: lined up over me. They lined up wider. Yeah. He's like, now,

844
00:45:28,719 --> 00:45:30,399
Speaker 1: I'm like, I better get out there in a hurry

845
00:45:30,400 --> 00:45:33,160
Speaker 1: because he's gonna have somebody breathing down his neck, he said.

846
00:45:33,160 --> 00:45:36,600
Speaker 1: And I turn around, Josh is throwing me a fade

847
00:45:36,600 --> 00:45:40,440
Speaker 1: away jumper because he's got somebody in his kitchen right,

848
00:45:40,640 --> 00:45:42,840
Speaker 1: you know. So he's like, you didn't get He was

849
00:45:42,880 --> 00:45:46,480
Speaker 1: amazed how effectively Josh still got the ball out, you know,

850
00:45:46,560 --> 00:45:49,000
Speaker 1: throwing that fade away pass, and then he turns around.

851
00:45:49,040 --> 00:45:51,160
Speaker 1: There's nobody in front of him but Gabe Davis with

852
00:45:51,200 --> 00:45:54,040
Speaker 1: a great block down the field. Dawson was heaping credit

853
00:45:54,080 --> 00:45:56,440
Speaker 1: on him. He's like, look at both of my touchdowns

854
00:45:56,440 --> 00:45:58,600
Speaker 1: and look at what Gabe Davis does on both of them.

855
00:45:58,640 --> 00:46:00,920
Speaker 1: I'll give you three guesses whom who the tight end

856
00:46:00,920 --> 00:46:05,719
Speaker 1: on my fantasy team is Yummy yum, yum yum yum. Gimme,

857
00:46:07,840 --> 00:46:11,200
Speaker 1: let's let's get a phone call in here as we

858
00:46:11,280 --> 00:46:14,239
Speaker 1: go to Band on a cell? What do you have

859
00:46:14,320 --> 00:46:17,480
Speaker 1: for us? You're on one Bills Live. Hey guys, Uh,

860
00:46:17,960 --> 00:46:21,040
Speaker 1: great to be with you. After Buffalo Bills win. I

861
00:46:21,080 --> 00:46:25,360
Speaker 1: wanted to comment on the usage and the lineup the

862
00:46:25,800 --> 00:46:30,399
Speaker 1: coaches put out there yesterday and how I feel like

863
00:46:31,480 --> 00:46:33,560
Speaker 1: this has to be what we could have been hoping

864
00:46:33,680 --> 00:46:38,640
Speaker 1: for coming into this season, the keeping their consistent play

865
00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:45,160
Speaker 1: of the players we had Davis, Digs, and Alan and

866
00:46:45,560 --> 00:46:50,560
Speaker 1: adding to that with Sanders, Embrita and the unexpected emergence

867
00:46:50,600 --> 00:46:54,160
Speaker 1: of Knox. But I guess I kind of want to

868
00:46:54,200 --> 00:46:58,560
Speaker 1: know why we didn't, in your guys's opinion, move forward

869
00:46:58,600 --> 00:47:03,880
Speaker 1: with what had worked and use those editions and just

870
00:47:03,960 --> 00:47:07,479
Speaker 1: hope it keeps going in the Hall of Fame, Buddy Band,

871
00:47:07,520 --> 00:47:10,400
Speaker 1: what do you mean by moving forward with those what

872
00:47:10,480 --> 00:47:15,200
Speaker 1: do you think they game's more playing time for Gabe Davis,

873
00:47:15,200 --> 00:47:18,399
Speaker 1: Brita on the field all these times. Yeah, make these

874
00:47:18,440 --> 00:47:22,520
Speaker 1: changes sooner. Davis looked like Davis looked last year. It

875
00:47:22,560 --> 00:47:27,200
Speaker 1: doesn't look like there was any regression or any any

876
00:47:27,280 --> 00:47:29,759
Speaker 1: stepped back to his game. So I want to kind

877
00:47:29,760 --> 00:47:31,359
Speaker 1: of know why you guys think he would have been

878
00:47:31,360 --> 00:47:35,360
Speaker 1: absent all this time. Yeah, yeah, I think fair question field,

879
00:47:35,360 --> 00:47:38,400
Speaker 1: it's yeah, Gabe Davis has been I think this too.

880
00:47:39,120 --> 00:47:41,719
Speaker 1: It's hard not to like Gabe Davis when every time

881
00:47:41,760 --> 00:47:43,279
Speaker 1: he's on the field, he's doing the right thing and

882
00:47:43,280 --> 00:47:46,879
Speaker 1: I'm making a play. He has done it consistently as

883
00:47:46,920 --> 00:47:52,320
Speaker 1: consistently as show tell me about a rookie wide receiver

884
00:47:52,440 --> 00:47:56,359
Speaker 1: who showed up and consistently did what Gabe Davis has

885
00:47:56,440 --> 00:47:59,319
Speaker 1: done as well as he has to. I mean had

886
00:48:00,280 --> 00:48:04,080
Speaker 1: I can't think of a bad play, right. I can

887
00:48:04,120 --> 00:48:07,440
Speaker 1: count on two hands almost the high degree of difficulty

888
00:48:07,520 --> 00:48:09,960
Speaker 1: receptions he's made over the last year plus. So I

889
00:48:09,960 --> 00:48:12,640
Speaker 1: got about the easy step. I get that. It's hard

890
00:48:12,680 --> 00:48:15,239
Speaker 1: to find a bad thing to say about the way

891
00:48:15,360 --> 00:48:18,480
Speaker 1: Gabe Davis has played when he's gotten the opportunity, and

892
00:48:18,520 --> 00:48:22,120
Speaker 1: the question, like Bant just said, why was he on

893
00:48:22,160 --> 00:48:24,799
Speaker 1: the field, why isn't he getting more opportunities like Brida is?

894
00:48:25,480 --> 00:48:27,320
Speaker 1: You know, well, why did it take half the season

895
00:48:27,360 --> 00:48:32,400
Speaker 1: for Brida? Right? And also the thing is, too, in

896
00:48:32,440 --> 00:48:35,560
Speaker 1: Breeda's case, not so applicable because we've all been like

897
00:48:35,920 --> 00:48:37,920
Speaker 1: looking at the side, looking a little bit sideways at

898
00:48:37,920 --> 00:48:39,760
Speaker 1: the running back in the passing game and the running

899
00:48:39,760 --> 00:48:42,360
Speaker 1: back in the running game. So you think, okay, Breeda,

900
00:48:42,440 --> 00:48:45,759
Speaker 1: we were clamoring for a change there, not so much

901
00:48:45,920 --> 00:48:51,120
Speaker 1: on the outside because if Gabe Davis goes on, Emmanuel

902
00:48:51,160 --> 00:48:53,600
Speaker 1: Sander's gonna sit down, Coleby's a gonna sit down, or

903
00:48:54,280 --> 00:48:57,000
Speaker 1: Stefan dig is gonna sit down. Which who's gonna sit down?

904
00:48:57,320 --> 00:49:03,919
Speaker 1: That's your question. Um, it's hard. It's hard because it's hard.

905
00:49:03,920 --> 00:49:06,359
Speaker 1: You got a lot of good guys, But we may

906
00:49:06,360 --> 00:49:10,720
Speaker 1: be seeing a shift here because I think it's unquestionable.

907
00:49:11,400 --> 00:49:14,440
Speaker 1: Breed has provided a spark. Whether he's running or catching

908
00:49:14,480 --> 00:49:19,239
Speaker 1: the football, he he makes the blocking assignments easier because

909
00:49:19,239 --> 00:49:21,799
Speaker 1: he's through the hole faster, or he's you know, out

910
00:49:21,840 --> 00:49:23,600
Speaker 1: in the flat and making somebody misfat you know what

911
00:49:23,600 --> 00:49:26,560
Speaker 1: I mean. He's just there's a spark there that he provides.

912
00:49:26,560 --> 00:49:29,719
Speaker 1: It's unquestionable. And as you said, every time Gabriel Davis

913
00:49:29,719 --> 00:49:32,279
Speaker 1: steps on the field, something good happens. Not and he

914
00:49:32,400 --> 00:49:34,600
Speaker 1: might not even need to catch the ball. He's the

915
00:49:34,640 --> 00:49:37,520
Speaker 1: best blocking he's the best blocking receiver on the roster.

916
00:49:37,560 --> 00:49:39,480
Speaker 1: I get it, I get it. Why not? You know

917
00:49:39,520 --> 00:49:43,440
Speaker 1: why not? Sooner? But like everything, these guys get what

918
00:49:43,480 --> 00:49:46,839
Speaker 1: they earn, and that means there's guys ahead of Gabe

919
00:49:46,920 --> 00:49:49,120
Speaker 1: Davis who are playing extremely well and doing everything that

920
00:49:49,120 --> 00:49:50,719
Speaker 1: the coaching staff wants to see, and they want to

921
00:49:50,719 --> 00:49:54,040
Speaker 1: get them, reward them, and keep Gabe Davis as happy

922
00:49:54,040 --> 00:49:55,480
Speaker 1: as they can. Now he's up and active and he's

923
00:49:55,480 --> 00:49:57,799
Speaker 1: playing special teams. He gets sprinkled in the offense, so

924
00:49:57,960 --> 00:50:01,400
Speaker 1: does Kumarro. Kumero gets sneak a sneaky mount of reps

925
00:50:01,400 --> 00:50:03,960
Speaker 1: on the offense a lot. You know, he never gets

926
00:50:03,960 --> 00:50:06,480
Speaker 1: the ball thrown to him. But the guy's a physical

927
00:50:06,520 --> 00:50:08,640
Speaker 1: blocker and they use him in that role and he's

928
00:50:08,719 --> 00:50:14,760
Speaker 1: very good at it. So yeah, I get it. Sometimes

929
00:50:14,760 --> 00:50:16,520
Speaker 1: it doesn't make sense to us, but I think behind

930
00:50:16,520 --> 00:50:19,080
Speaker 1: the scenes, it's all about this. You're earning, You're getting

931
00:50:19,080 --> 00:50:20,640
Speaker 1: what you're earned, And there are guys ahead of Gabe

932
00:50:20,719 --> 00:50:23,240
Speaker 1: Davis and around Gabe Davis and Komero and all these guys.

933
00:50:23,600 --> 00:50:26,600
Speaker 1: Isaiah McKenzie. We've seen that go up in now Marquess Stevenson.

934
00:50:28,160 --> 00:50:30,960
Speaker 1: There's some things going on Monday through Saturday that lead

935
00:50:31,040 --> 00:50:33,040
Speaker 1: to the reps that all these guys get on Sunday.

936
00:50:33,040 --> 00:50:36,759
Speaker 1: And I'm you know, we may never know the full Star. No,

937
00:50:36,800 --> 00:50:40,080
Speaker 1: we won't know the full reason, but you wonder if

938
00:50:40,120 --> 00:50:43,120
Speaker 1: there is a shift happening here as this team comes

939
00:50:43,160 --> 00:50:47,160
Speaker 1: down the stretch where they're convinced, you know what, we're

940
00:50:47,160 --> 00:50:50,000
Speaker 1: getting a little more impact here with this younger player.

941
00:50:50,040 --> 00:50:52,160
Speaker 1: We're getting more of a spark here with this guy

942
00:50:52,200 --> 00:50:54,560
Speaker 1: in the lineup, we're leaving him in. I mean, it's

943
00:50:54,560 --> 00:50:57,160
Speaker 1: not you keep doing that, You're gonna stay on the field.

944
00:50:57,239 --> 00:51:01,319
Speaker 1: And that's probably something that bears watching here over these

945
00:51:01,400 --> 00:51:05,160
Speaker 1: next several weeks, especially knowing the magnitude of the next

946
00:51:05,160 --> 00:51:07,680
Speaker 1: game on the schedule. We have to take a break here,

947
00:51:07,840 --> 00:51:09,799
Speaker 1: but when we come back, we'll be joined by one

948
00:51:10,440 --> 00:51:14,520
Speaker 1: Greg co Sell, senior producer from NFL Films, who will

949
00:51:14,560 --> 00:51:18,960
Speaker 1: be doing a game review, not a game preview as

950
00:51:18,960 --> 00:51:21,319
Speaker 1: he usually does for us on Fridays, We're gonna talk Bill,

951
00:51:21,400 --> 00:51:24,040
Speaker 1: Saints and the X's and oh's there in next here

952
00:51:24,080 --> 00:51:26,400
Speaker 1: on One Bill's Live presented by Klota Health. It's Buffalo

953
00:51:26,440 --> 00:51:47,440
Speaker 1: Bill's Radio at a Steve Tasker who has been all

954
00:51:47,560 --> 00:51:49,600
Speaker 1: over the fields. Kind of unique. He was kind of

955
00:51:49,600 --> 00:51:55,160
Speaker 1: a dual role player for you, Steve, Steve a blimp.

956
00:51:56,000 --> 00:52:02,080
Speaker 1: We're not even in the strated here of normalcy. All right, there,

957
00:52:02,080 --> 00:52:05,359
Speaker 1: we are our number two on a Buffalo football Friday,

958
00:52:06,880 --> 00:52:12,000
Speaker 1: and while we are reviewing a game, we're still going

959
00:52:12,040 --> 00:52:14,720
Speaker 1: to employ the services of one Greg co Sale, senior

960
00:52:14,719 --> 00:52:19,520
Speaker 1: producer from NFL Films. Greg, we're usually previewing a Bill's matchup.

961
00:52:19,600 --> 00:52:22,160
Speaker 1: We are reviewing a Bill's matchup, So a little bit

962
00:52:22,200 --> 00:52:25,960
Speaker 1: of a different take here. I'm curious to get your

963
00:52:26,000 --> 00:52:31,800
Speaker 1: thoughts on the opening possession by the Bills ten play

964
00:52:31,880 --> 00:52:35,560
Speaker 1: drive and it's pretty balanced. I mean, yes, Alan has

965
00:52:35,600 --> 00:52:37,800
Speaker 1: a couple of scrambles which I guess you could argue

966
00:52:37,920 --> 00:52:42,960
Speaker 1: or probably passes, you know, at the outset, but pretty

967
00:52:43,040 --> 00:52:46,000
Speaker 1: balanced out of the gate there, and they marched right

968
00:52:46,080 --> 00:52:50,160
Speaker 1: down the field. And I thought the run game, while

969
00:52:50,160 --> 00:52:52,200
Speaker 1: if you look at the final stat sheet wasn't all

970
00:52:52,239 --> 00:52:55,439
Speaker 1: that productive from a yards per carry average, I thought

971
00:52:55,440 --> 00:52:58,600
Speaker 1: it was effective in at least keeping the Saints honest

972
00:52:58,760 --> 00:53:02,279
Speaker 1: last night as Josh through through just about everything and

973
00:53:02,280 --> 00:53:06,160
Speaker 1: almost nothing hit the ground. Yesterday. Yeah, well, they had

974
00:53:06,320 --> 00:53:09,200
Speaker 1: a ten play touchdown drive. Seven or the ten plays

975
00:53:09,239 --> 00:53:11,759
Speaker 1: were called runs the Allen the two Alan plays were

976
00:53:11,760 --> 00:53:16,439
Speaker 1: called runs, so and they also featured bass personnel, So yeah,

977
00:53:16,440 --> 00:53:20,719
Speaker 1: it was They're clearly making an effort to run the

978
00:53:20,760 --> 00:53:24,719
Speaker 1: ball with both some volume and obviously they want production

979
00:53:24,800 --> 00:53:28,200
Speaker 1: and it's it's important to do that, and I think

980
00:53:28,239 --> 00:53:31,759
Speaker 1: we see why every week because their old line is

981
00:53:31,800 --> 00:53:34,400
Speaker 1: not a great pass protecting a line. That could also

982
00:53:34,440 --> 00:53:37,640
Speaker 1: be another reason why the pass game, guys, has become

983
00:53:38,040 --> 00:53:42,200
Speaker 1: somewhat condensed, because they just don't feel really comfortable with

984
00:53:42,280 --> 00:53:45,719
Speaker 1: deeper drops that every team will try shot plays here

985
00:53:45,760 --> 00:53:50,440
Speaker 1: and there, but this pass games has been pretty condensed.

986
00:53:50,600 --> 00:53:53,120
Speaker 1: The ball comes out quick or they do a real

987
00:53:53,200 --> 00:53:56,520
Speaker 1: nice job in the short intermediate areas, but the run game,

988
00:53:56,560 --> 00:53:58,400
Speaker 1: I agree with you, Chris. I mean, while the numbers

989
00:53:58,480 --> 00:54:00,560
Speaker 1: might not have looked, you know, beautiful fall on a

990
00:54:00,600 --> 00:54:03,680
Speaker 1: sheet of paper, I thought they did some good things.

991
00:54:03,719 --> 00:54:07,360
Speaker 1: And they started with Brita, as you guys know, and

992
00:54:07,440 --> 00:54:09,839
Speaker 1: I think they they focused a lot of what they

993
00:54:09,920 --> 00:54:16,680
Speaker 1: did based on him because they they got him outside

994
00:54:16,760 --> 00:54:21,080
Speaker 1: pull schemes, center tackle pull, pin pull, outside zone toss.

995
00:54:22,000 --> 00:54:24,840
Speaker 1: It was both under center, it was with Alan and

996
00:54:24,880 --> 00:54:27,960
Speaker 1: the gun. So clearly I think they tailor their run

997
00:54:28,000 --> 00:54:31,760
Speaker 1: game to the specific back. What benefit of the Bills gotten,

998
00:54:32,520 --> 00:54:37,520
Speaker 1: if any, from a defensive adjustment standpoint from the teams

999
00:54:37,520 --> 00:54:39,359
Speaker 1: that are playing the Bills. What benefit of the Bills

1000
00:54:39,400 --> 00:54:42,000
Speaker 1: gotten by going heavier with a fullback, the tight ends,

1001
00:54:42,000 --> 00:54:45,359
Speaker 1: the extra offensive lineman. They did that a lot more,

1002
00:54:45,520 --> 00:54:47,560
Speaker 1: They've done a lot more of late. What benefit are

1003
00:54:47,560 --> 00:54:51,120
Speaker 1: they getting from that? You know, it's funny you ask.

1004
00:54:51,200 --> 00:54:53,799
Speaker 1: I was very conscious of looking at that watching the

1005
00:54:53,880 --> 00:54:56,719
Speaker 1: tape this morning. I don't think they're getting a big

1006
00:54:56,760 --> 00:55:00,239
Speaker 1: benefit yet. And the point is you I have to

1007
00:55:00,320 --> 00:55:03,120
Speaker 1: keep doing it to start getting the benefit, Steve, because

1008
00:55:03,120 --> 00:55:05,880
Speaker 1: the Saints did play an awful lot of shell coverage,

1009
00:55:06,200 --> 00:55:09,240
Speaker 1: and I think teams are not yet ready to say

1010
00:55:09,280 --> 00:55:11,680
Speaker 1: that this run game is something we really have to

1011
00:55:11,800 --> 00:55:15,040
Speaker 1: game plan four. But in an ideal world, you hope

1012
00:55:15,080 --> 00:55:17,880
Speaker 1: to continue doing this and at least have enough of

1013
00:55:17,920 --> 00:55:20,920
Speaker 1: a meaningful run game that teams may think, hey, you

1014
00:55:20,920 --> 00:55:23,960
Speaker 1: know what, they're going to run the ball, and maybe

1015
00:55:24,000 --> 00:55:26,040
Speaker 1: we do want to bring up a safety, maybe we

1016
00:55:26,120 --> 00:55:28,560
Speaker 1: do want to play a different way and not just

1017
00:55:28,719 --> 00:55:31,200
Speaker 1: think that, hey, the run game is not that relevant

1018
00:55:31,280 --> 00:55:35,200
Speaker 1: in how they play or not that productive. So we'll see.

1019
00:55:35,239 --> 00:55:39,080
Speaker 1: But the Saints didn't really Again, just from looking at

1020
00:55:39,080 --> 00:55:41,080
Speaker 1: the tape, I don't think they felt like they had

1021
00:55:41,120 --> 00:55:44,879
Speaker 1: to stop the run game. But clearly the run game

1022
00:55:45,000 --> 00:55:46,920
Speaker 1: was a factor. And you know, I've always believed the

1023
00:55:46,960 --> 00:55:48,480
Speaker 1: run game. Sure, you want to run for a lot

1024
00:55:48,480 --> 00:55:52,520
Speaker 1: of yards, but I still come back to what Brandon

1025
00:55:52,600 --> 00:55:54,719
Speaker 1: Staley said four or five weeks ago. I think the

1026
00:55:54,800 --> 00:55:57,680
Speaker 1: run game is really important to make the game physical,

1027
00:55:57,719 --> 00:55:59,640
Speaker 1: to make the defense have to come up and tackle.

1028
00:56:00,640 --> 00:56:03,040
Speaker 1: I just think it's it's it's important for a number

1029
00:56:03,080 --> 00:56:05,040
Speaker 1: of reasons, and I think they have to keep doing it.

1030
00:56:05,560 --> 00:56:08,680
Speaker 1: On the defensive side of the ball. For Buffalo, ed

1031
00:56:08,719 --> 00:56:12,680
Speaker 1: Oliver has had a pretty strong month. He's had his

1032
00:56:12,960 --> 00:56:17,880
Speaker 1: maybe his longest stretch of consistent play in a Bill's uniform,

1033
00:56:18,280 --> 00:56:21,200
Speaker 1: and he was noticeable again last night. I mean even

1034
00:56:21,239 --> 00:56:24,560
Speaker 1: on some of the plays that Addison finished he was

1035
00:56:24,640 --> 00:56:29,400
Speaker 1: responsible for spilling to him right, just maybe talk about

1036
00:56:29,480 --> 00:56:31,680
Speaker 1: his I mean his penetration of Bill. I mean they

1037
00:56:31,719 --> 00:56:35,040
Speaker 1: didn't have an answer for him. No, No, He's He's

1038
00:56:35,080 --> 00:56:39,600
Speaker 1: consistently shown outstanding quickness off the ball this season, and

1039
00:56:40,080 --> 00:56:44,040
Speaker 1: the Bills are are a predominant overfront and what we

1040
00:56:44,120 --> 00:56:46,040
Speaker 1: mean you know, I know you guys know what that means,

1041
00:56:46,080 --> 00:56:49,200
Speaker 1: but that means they they line up with their D

1042
00:56:49,320 --> 00:56:52,719
Speaker 1: line shifted to the strong side of the offensive formation.

1043
00:56:53,080 --> 00:56:56,520
Speaker 1: So when Oliver is the three technique to that side, Okay,

1044
00:56:56,600 --> 00:57:00,279
Speaker 1: that means to the tight end side, he is extremely

1045
00:57:00,400 --> 00:57:04,640
Speaker 1: hard for tackles to execute reach blocks against him when

1046
00:57:04,640 --> 00:57:07,600
Speaker 1: the run goes to the weak side. He's just too

1047
00:57:07,680 --> 00:57:11,360
Speaker 1: quick off the ball, and I thought he also flashed

1048
00:57:11,400 --> 00:57:14,879
Speaker 1: him outstanding hand quickness as a pass rusher. I thought

1049
00:57:14,880 --> 00:57:17,480
Speaker 1: his sack in the second quarter was a great example

1050
00:57:17,520 --> 00:57:21,240
Speaker 1: of that. And overall, I thought the Bills front four

1051
00:57:21,480 --> 00:57:24,360
Speaker 1: was the dominant unit versus the Saints old line in

1052
00:57:24,400 --> 00:57:27,120
Speaker 1: this game. Now we know that the Saints were missing

1053
00:57:27,160 --> 00:57:30,200
Speaker 1: a few normal starters, but hey, this is the NFL,

1054
00:57:30,320 --> 00:57:33,240
Speaker 1: that's the way it works. But the Bills front four

1055
00:57:33,480 --> 00:57:36,560
Speaker 1: was clearly clearly dominant. You know what play really stood

1056
00:57:36,600 --> 00:57:38,919
Speaker 1: out to me? Guys you talk about Oliver Chris, Yeah,

1057
00:57:39,520 --> 00:57:41,880
Speaker 1: if you think back a week, which I know Bills

1058
00:57:41,880 --> 00:57:44,240
Speaker 1: fans don't really want to think back a week, but

1059
00:57:44,440 --> 00:57:47,800
Speaker 1: the Colts killed them with what I call wham track.

1060
00:57:48,560 --> 00:57:51,480
Speaker 1: I think they ran it four times and they just

1061
00:57:51,560 --> 00:57:54,200
Speaker 1: killed him with it, including one of the touchdowns by

1062
00:57:54,200 --> 00:57:56,640
Speaker 1: tailor in the tight red zone. But they also had

1063
00:57:56,680 --> 00:58:01,400
Speaker 1: some longer runs with it. The Saints ran wham track

1064
00:58:01,480 --> 00:58:03,680
Speaker 1: in the high red zone late in the third quarter,

1065
00:58:04,280 --> 00:58:07,200
Speaker 1: and Oliver was so quick off the ball. He beat

1066
00:58:07,240 --> 00:58:10,880
Speaker 1: the trap block and he forced Jones to bounce it outside.

1067
00:58:11,400 --> 00:58:13,800
Speaker 1: And that quickness was just I mean watching it on

1068
00:58:13,840 --> 00:58:17,520
Speaker 1: tape because I didn't really notice it live watching last night,

1069
00:58:17,560 --> 00:58:19,360
Speaker 1: So when I saw it on tape, I was like, Wow,

1070
00:58:19,720 --> 00:58:23,320
Speaker 1: that was incredibly quick off the ball. Yeah, and I

1071
00:58:23,360 --> 00:58:26,120
Speaker 1: think the fact that they're getting that kind of production

1072
00:58:26,160 --> 00:58:28,720
Speaker 1: from up did you see any of they all activated

1073
00:58:28,800 --> 00:58:32,280
Speaker 1: on coup, they activated Fao Bab. They rotate those guys

1074
00:58:32,280 --> 00:58:35,000
Speaker 1: through at a high rate. Is that still continuing to

1075
00:58:35,040 --> 00:58:38,200
Speaker 1: be effective in your mind? Or is there a combination

1076
00:58:38,280 --> 00:58:41,680
Speaker 1: that they try to put out there in crucial downs

1077
00:58:41,680 --> 00:58:44,240
Speaker 1: to make sure they have you know, like a like

1078
00:58:44,760 --> 00:58:47,120
Speaker 1: an A squad and a B squad or whatever, or

1079
00:58:47,160 --> 00:58:49,440
Speaker 1: is it more random than that? Do they have different

1080
00:58:49,480 --> 00:58:51,320
Speaker 1: combinations they run through there? How do you see their

1081
00:58:51,320 --> 00:58:54,800
Speaker 1: defensive line rotation where I didn't notice. The one thing

1082
00:58:54,840 --> 00:58:57,040
Speaker 1: I did notice, and this was the only thing I

1083
00:58:57,080 --> 00:58:59,840
Speaker 1: specifically noticed, was that Encou and Brian seemed to play

1084
00:58:59,840 --> 00:59:04,200
Speaker 1: together inside. But beyond that, I didn't, you know, necessarily

1085
00:59:04,240 --> 00:59:09,120
Speaker 1: take note. I will say this, I think as I

1086
00:59:09,200 --> 00:59:11,880
Speaker 1: watched this defense. And again it's it's no knock on

1087
00:59:11,920 --> 00:59:15,760
Speaker 1: any particular player, but I think there's four guys to

1088
00:59:15,920 --> 00:59:19,560
Speaker 1: me that really kind of you. And let's put Oliver

1089
00:59:19,600 --> 00:59:21,720
Speaker 1: aside for a moment. He's playing at a really high level,

1090
00:59:21,840 --> 00:59:24,400
Speaker 1: but let's put him aside for a moment. I think

1091
00:59:24,440 --> 00:59:28,480
Speaker 1: there's four guys that really make this defense work, and

1092
00:59:28,600 --> 00:59:32,040
Speaker 1: this defense is playing really well. I think the safety's

1093
00:59:32,080 --> 00:59:35,680
Speaker 1: Poyer and high are critical to this defense. I think

1094
00:59:35,760 --> 00:59:39,240
Speaker 1: Milano and he made a lot of good plays last night. Milano.

1095
00:59:39,560 --> 00:59:41,400
Speaker 1: I just think he and I've been talking about him

1096
00:59:41,400 --> 00:59:44,160
Speaker 1: for three years, as you guys know. And I think

1097
00:59:44,320 --> 00:59:48,240
Speaker 1: the slot corner Johnson is really important. This team has

1098
00:59:48,280 --> 00:59:51,600
Speaker 1: not played a snap of base defense in weeks. They've

1099
00:59:51,640 --> 00:59:54,880
Speaker 1: been on Nickel what is it for something like three

1100
00:59:54,920 --> 00:59:56,840
Speaker 1: weeks in a row now, Chris, you might know that

1101
00:59:57,080 --> 00:59:59,720
Speaker 1: the Titans game in Week six is the last time

1102
00:59:59,760 --> 01:00:02,840
Speaker 1: they played bass with three linebackers on the field and

1103
01:00:02,880 --> 01:00:07,280
Speaker 1: it was sparingly right. So I mean, if you're going

1104
01:00:07,360 --> 01:00:10,400
Speaker 1: to do that, your slot corner has to be more

1105
01:00:10,440 --> 01:00:12,440
Speaker 1: than just what we think of as a slot corner,

1106
01:00:12,520 --> 01:00:15,080
Speaker 1: a guy who's covered slot receivers. I mean, you have

1107
01:00:15,120 --> 01:00:18,560
Speaker 1: to feel really good because he essentially becomes a sam

1108
01:00:18,640 --> 01:00:21,280
Speaker 1: linebacker right and certain, you know, depending on what the

1109
01:00:21,280 --> 01:00:24,960
Speaker 1: offensive formation is. And I think Johnson, you guys, remember

1110
01:00:25,000 --> 01:00:27,240
Speaker 1: I talked about him last year, Remember about mid season.

1111
01:00:27,320 --> 01:00:28,920
Speaker 1: I said, you know, I thought he was a really

1112
01:00:28,920 --> 01:00:31,640
Speaker 1: good player. They obviously think so too, because they paid

1113
01:00:31,720 --> 01:00:35,600
Speaker 1: him and they play him every single snap. So I

1114
01:00:35,720 --> 01:00:39,000
Speaker 1: think he is absolutely critical to this defense. It was

1115
01:00:39,040 --> 01:00:42,840
Speaker 1: interesting because after last week's game, Leslie Frasier was asked,

1116
01:00:43,560 --> 01:00:46,640
Speaker 1: with the way Jonathan Taylor was running your team over,

1117
01:00:47,360 --> 01:00:51,000
Speaker 1: did you ever think about putting bass defense on the field, right?

1118
01:00:51,560 --> 01:00:55,280
Speaker 1: He said no. He said no, and he said, well

1119
01:00:55,320 --> 01:00:57,320
Speaker 1: why not. Why wouldn't you put a bigger body out there?

1120
01:00:57,880 --> 01:01:01,000
Speaker 1: He said, because we were putting eight in the box,

1121
01:01:01,600 --> 01:01:03,520
Speaker 1: and if we can't stop the run with eight in

1122
01:01:03,560 --> 01:01:06,480
Speaker 1: the box, it's not because of who we have out there,

1123
01:01:06,600 --> 01:01:08,720
Speaker 1: it's because of how they are playing. It was his

1124
01:01:08,800 --> 01:01:13,160
Speaker 1: opinion that it was a gap integrity and a fundamental

1125
01:01:13,320 --> 01:01:17,760
Speaker 1: tackling issue, not a personnel grouping issue. That's how much

1126
01:01:17,800 --> 01:01:22,120
Speaker 1: they think's Terren Johnson So, and I think, look, there's

1127
01:01:22,120 --> 01:01:23,920
Speaker 1: a lot of We're in an era where there's a

1128
01:01:23,960 --> 01:01:26,600
Speaker 1: lot of good slot corners in this league right now,

1129
01:01:26,760 --> 01:01:28,520
Speaker 1: and they play an awful lot of snaps, not just

1130
01:01:28,600 --> 01:01:31,120
Speaker 1: spitting much as the Bills, who play more nickel than

1131
01:01:31,160 --> 01:01:33,000
Speaker 1: any team in the league. But there's a lot of

1132
01:01:33,000 --> 01:01:35,520
Speaker 1: teams that play a lot of nickel. And you know,

1133
01:01:35,720 --> 01:01:39,200
Speaker 1: as you guys know, a slot corner number one, he

1134
01:01:39,240 --> 01:01:41,320
Speaker 1: has to be able to play the run. He has

1135
01:01:41,360 --> 01:01:43,760
Speaker 1: to be able to blitz at times, which Johnson does

1136
01:01:43,800 --> 01:01:45,360
Speaker 1: as well, and then they have to be able to

1137
01:01:45,360 --> 01:01:48,440
Speaker 1: play both man and zone coverage. I think Johnson can

1138
01:01:48,480 --> 01:01:52,240
Speaker 1: cover those four bases at a pretty good level. I

1139
01:01:52,320 --> 01:01:55,640
Speaker 1: think he's a really good player. Yeah, and I would agree.

1140
01:01:55,680 --> 01:01:57,000
Speaker 1: And I think that's one of the things that gets

1141
01:01:57,080 --> 01:01:59,560
Speaker 1: lost in this because he's not like I mean, he's

1142
01:01:59,600 --> 01:02:02,560
Speaker 1: not like Legion of Boom where he's a six four's

1143
01:02:02,800 --> 01:02:05,680
Speaker 1: Camp chance He's not Camp Chancellor or even you know,

1144
01:02:06,320 --> 01:02:09,120
Speaker 1: Richard Sherman or any of those. He's a five ten

1145
01:02:09,240 --> 01:02:12,960
Speaker 1: buck ninety guy, right. So I think that's the surprising

1146
01:02:13,640 --> 01:02:15,920
Speaker 1: thing is his ability to stand up to the punishment

1147
01:02:15,960 --> 01:02:17,400
Speaker 1: that he may or may not get it, you know,

1148
01:02:17,480 --> 01:02:19,880
Speaker 1: coming he's super competitive against the run. I mean, you

1149
01:02:19,880 --> 01:02:21,760
Speaker 1: guys see you know, when he when he attacks in

1150
01:02:21,840 --> 01:02:24,240
Speaker 1: the run game, I mean, he sticks his nose right

1151
01:02:24,280 --> 01:02:26,680
Speaker 1: in there. He's not one of those coiners guys that

1152
01:02:26,720 --> 01:02:28,919
Speaker 1: shies away from trying to tackle on the run. Game.

1153
01:02:29,040 --> 01:02:32,480
Speaker 1: What kind of difference did you see Tremaine Edmonds make

1154
01:02:32,760 --> 01:02:36,320
Speaker 1: yesterday in the Saints game? To me, I noticed him

1155
01:02:36,400 --> 01:02:39,080
Speaker 1: yesterday more than I had in the in other games

1156
01:02:39,080 --> 01:02:42,520
Speaker 1: before that. You know, he was out for a couple

1157
01:02:42,520 --> 01:02:44,920
Speaker 1: of games, and him coming back, I thought, Wow, he's

1158
01:02:44,960 --> 01:02:46,760
Speaker 1: around the ball a lot more than I remember him

1159
01:02:46,800 --> 01:02:49,600
Speaker 1: being in the first six games. Yeah, he was. I

1160
01:02:49,680 --> 01:02:52,160
Speaker 1: noticed that too, And it's funny I didn't he didn't

1161
01:02:52,160 --> 01:02:54,040
Speaker 1: make I don't know what the tackle numbers were. You

1162
01:02:54,080 --> 01:02:55,720
Speaker 1: guys might have that info right in front of you.

1163
01:02:55,880 --> 01:02:58,080
Speaker 1: I don't remember him making a ton of tackles, but

1164
01:02:58,160 --> 01:03:00,920
Speaker 1: I remember him being involved right in the middle of

1165
01:03:00,960 --> 01:03:04,840
Speaker 1: the place. Um, and look, I believe that Edmonds and

1166
01:03:05,160 --> 01:03:07,840
Speaker 1: Milano are as you know, they're one of the best.

1167
01:03:08,080 --> 01:03:10,680
Speaker 1: You know, Obviously, you can start going through nickel linebacker

1168
01:03:10,760 --> 01:03:12,959
Speaker 1: duos in the league, and there's a lot of good ones.

1169
01:03:13,160 --> 01:03:16,280
Speaker 1: But I think they're among the best nickel linebacker duos

1170
01:03:16,320 --> 01:03:18,880
Speaker 1: in the NFL. And there are different kinds of players.

1171
01:03:19,040 --> 01:03:22,080
Speaker 1: They normally don't ask Edmonds very often to match up

1172
01:03:22,120 --> 01:03:25,320
Speaker 1: to tight ends. That's normally what Milano does or one

1173
01:03:25,320 --> 01:03:27,400
Speaker 1: of the safeties, depending on how they want to play it.

1174
01:03:27,720 --> 01:03:30,960
Speaker 1: But Edmonds is a is a long, big body with

1175
01:03:31,120 --> 01:03:34,880
Speaker 1: great speed, and you know he in the in the

1176
01:03:34,920 --> 01:03:41,240
Speaker 1: box because he's so big, he navigates ground really effectively. Again,

1177
01:03:41,280 --> 01:03:43,080
Speaker 1: I don't have tackle numbers in front of me, but

1178
01:03:43,120 --> 01:03:45,880
Speaker 1: you're right, Steve. He was every every running play, it

1179
01:03:46,000 --> 01:03:48,000
Speaker 1: seemed like, well, there's Edmonds. Even if he didn't make

1180
01:03:48,000 --> 01:03:50,560
Speaker 1: the tackle, he was right there. Yeah, they both tied

1181
01:03:50,680 --> 01:03:53,040
Speaker 1: Milano and Edmonds tied for the team lead with eight tackles.

1182
01:03:53,240 --> 01:03:56,760
Speaker 1: H So they were they were active and effective. Uh.

1183
01:03:57,720 --> 01:04:03,280
Speaker 1: Dion Dawkins Greg had some struggles last night. I'm trying

1184
01:04:03,320 --> 01:04:08,280
Speaker 1: to ascertain what the main issue for him is because

1185
01:04:08,320 --> 01:04:12,240
Speaker 1: his play has been inconsistent this season and there was

1186
01:04:13,120 --> 01:04:15,440
Speaker 1: one play in particular, gag and knowing you kind of

1187
01:04:15,480 --> 01:04:17,520
Speaker 1: combed through the film, I'm curious for your take on this.

1188
01:04:17,880 --> 01:04:24,360
Speaker 1: There was one particular play where the defensive end he

1189
01:04:24,440 --> 01:04:27,560
Speaker 1: tried to jump set him. Dion tried to jump set

1190
01:04:27,560 --> 01:04:30,920
Speaker 1: the defensive end, but the defensive end's first step was inside,

1191
01:04:31,040 --> 01:04:34,840
Speaker 1: like almost like reducing down at the snap right as

1192
01:04:34,840 --> 01:04:37,840
Speaker 1: soon as you jump, the play's over already. He can't

1193
01:04:37,880 --> 01:04:40,240
Speaker 1: recover in time, and now he's giving up an inside

1194
01:04:40,280 --> 01:04:44,280
Speaker 1: pressure and Josh has to go run for his life.

1195
01:04:44,680 --> 01:04:49,000
Speaker 1: Is there is there something about his approach two opponents

1196
01:04:49,160 --> 01:04:53,080
Speaker 1: that is impacting him, Like at the snap, it's almost

1197
01:04:53,080 --> 01:04:55,920
Speaker 1: like he's losing so quickly. I'm wondering if his pre

1198
01:04:56,080 --> 01:05:00,600
Speaker 1: snap approach is flawed. Yeah, and I again, I'm not

1199
01:05:00,680 --> 01:05:02,400
Speaker 1: a cop out. I can't speak to that. I don't

1200
01:05:02,440 --> 01:05:05,080
Speaker 1: feel like I know quite enough about that. But I

1201
01:05:05,120 --> 01:05:08,280
Speaker 1: think you're right. I think that he has been very

1202
01:05:08,320 --> 01:05:11,600
Speaker 1: inconsistent throughout this season. It's one of the reasons I

1203
01:05:11,680 --> 01:05:15,640
Speaker 1: believe that they can't take that pass pass pass approach

1204
01:05:16,080 --> 01:05:19,880
Speaker 1: because you know, we've discussed this, and I've discussed it elsewhere.

1205
01:05:20,120 --> 01:05:23,360
Speaker 1: People forget about the offensive line when they think about

1206
01:05:23,360 --> 01:05:25,920
Speaker 1: a team throwing so much. They only talk about the quarterback.

1207
01:05:26,400 --> 01:05:28,800
Speaker 1: But you know, you're asking your offensive line to pass

1208
01:05:28,880 --> 01:05:34,560
Speaker 1: protect forty forty five times a game. That's a hard deal. Okay,

1209
01:05:34,640 --> 01:05:38,280
Speaker 1: it's You could still argue that the biggest mismatch in

1210
01:05:38,280 --> 01:05:41,720
Speaker 1: the NFL is offensive line versus the quality of pass

1211
01:05:41,800 --> 01:05:44,520
Speaker 1: rushers that are out there, and the quality of pass

1212
01:05:44,600 --> 01:05:47,760
Speaker 1: rushers coming from college are only getting more athletic, and

1213
01:05:47,840 --> 01:05:50,600
Speaker 1: not that offensive linemen aren't getting more athletics. Some are,

1214
01:05:51,160 --> 01:05:54,000
Speaker 1: but it's still the biggest mismatch on the field, so

1215
01:05:54,120 --> 01:05:56,400
Speaker 1: people forget about that. But I agree with you, Chris.

1216
01:05:56,440 --> 01:06:00,200
Speaker 1: I don't think Dawkins has been really good on a

1217
01:06:00,240 --> 01:06:02,280
Speaker 1: week to week basis, and he would be viewed as

1218
01:06:02,280 --> 01:06:05,240
Speaker 1: their best aligneman, and you know, I think it's been

1219
01:06:05,280 --> 01:06:07,840
Speaker 1: a little bit of a struggle for him. Well, even

1220
01:06:08,240 --> 01:06:10,160
Speaker 1: with the game last night in New Orleans, even the

1221
01:06:10,160 --> 01:06:12,520
Speaker 1: most ardent Buffalo Bills fans, while we're all happy with

1222
01:06:12,600 --> 01:06:15,960
Speaker 1: a thirty one to six win, a decisive victory, let

1223
01:06:15,960 --> 01:06:17,640
Speaker 1: me ask you this. I don't know how well you

1224
01:06:17,640 --> 01:06:19,280
Speaker 1: can speak to it or how much you want to

1225
01:06:19,280 --> 01:06:22,000
Speaker 1: say about it, but give us the real coup. How

1226
01:06:22,000 --> 01:06:23,800
Speaker 1: bad were the Saints? I mean, they are nicked up.

1227
01:06:23,800 --> 01:06:27,080
Speaker 1: They've got nobody playing. Their left tackle and his replacement

1228
01:06:27,080 --> 01:06:31,479
Speaker 1: are down. Cameras out, Ingram is out, Taysom Hill is out,

1229
01:06:32,040 --> 01:06:36,160
Speaker 1: all these guys are out. How undermanned? Do you can

1230
01:06:36,200 --> 01:06:38,800
Speaker 1: you sense that the Saints were last night playing against

1231
01:06:38,800 --> 01:06:42,080
Speaker 1: the Bills. Yeah, I think offensively, the Saints are bad

1232
01:06:42,160 --> 01:06:44,760
Speaker 1: right now because Simeon was bad last night too. He

1233
01:06:44,840 --> 01:06:47,439
Speaker 1: missed a number of throws that he has to make,

1234
01:06:48,160 --> 01:06:51,040
Speaker 1: because normally Simeon is a guy you can line up

1235
01:06:51,080 --> 01:06:53,080
Speaker 1: and play with. Obviously he's not good enough to be

1236
01:06:53,320 --> 01:06:56,240
Speaker 1: a full time starter, but he's the last couple of

1237
01:06:56,240 --> 01:06:59,600
Speaker 1: weeks he's been bad, and he missed too many routine

1238
01:06:59,720 --> 01:07:04,360
Speaker 1: lay up throws last night. So offensively they're bad, and

1239
01:07:04,720 --> 01:07:07,000
Speaker 1: on the offensive line they are playing with some backups

1240
01:07:07,000 --> 01:07:10,160
Speaker 1: and they're all line got handled last night. But defensively

1241
01:07:10,320 --> 01:07:13,600
Speaker 1: they're playing with very few exceptions. I mean, I know

1242
01:07:13,720 --> 01:07:17,400
Speaker 1: Davenport was out, but defensively they played with their group,

1243
01:07:17,840 --> 01:07:21,400
Speaker 1: and you know, I thought the Bills did a really

1244
01:07:21,440 --> 01:07:23,360
Speaker 1: good job. I thought the Bills did a really good

1245
01:07:23,440 --> 01:07:26,360
Speaker 1: job situationally too, and a lot of games come down

1246
01:07:26,400 --> 01:07:30,080
Speaker 1: to situations. You know. I thought that the Davis twenty

1247
01:07:30,080 --> 01:07:32,440
Speaker 1: six yarder on third and two on the third possession

1248
01:07:32,560 --> 01:07:36,960
Speaker 1: was a really good call. You could you could almost

1249
01:07:37,040 --> 01:07:39,480
Speaker 1: argue that the Knox twenty four yard touchdown on fourth

1250
01:07:39,520 --> 01:07:43,040
Speaker 1: and two was the same play concept as the Davis

1251
01:07:43,040 --> 01:07:45,600
Speaker 1: twenty six yard or just with different people from a

1252
01:07:45,640 --> 01:07:48,440
Speaker 1: different formation. So you know, I thought they did a

1253
01:07:48,480 --> 01:07:51,760
Speaker 1: really good job in those kinds of situations, and we

1254
01:07:51,840 --> 01:07:54,560
Speaker 1: know situational football is so critical on both sides of

1255
01:07:54,560 --> 01:07:58,720
Speaker 1: the ball. And then you know, the last couple of weeks,

1256
01:07:58,760 --> 01:08:03,400
Speaker 1: Matt Brida's you know, the two games prior to this,

1257
01:08:04,000 --> 01:08:06,840
Speaker 1: touch the ball twelve times, one hundred and seventeen yards

1258
01:08:06,880 --> 01:08:10,880
Speaker 1: and two touchdowns. He gets more work last night, not

1259
01:08:10,960 --> 01:08:15,480
Speaker 1: a tremendous amount more, but again he's providing a spark.

1260
01:08:15,520 --> 01:08:20,640
Speaker 1: I mean, greg screen passes have been a monumental problem

1261
01:08:21,040 --> 01:08:24,000
Speaker 1: for this team to execute with any measure of effectiveness.

1262
01:08:24,280 --> 01:08:27,000
Speaker 1: He takes a traditional screen pass twenty three yards for

1263
01:08:27,040 --> 01:08:31,519
Speaker 1: a touchdown, and it wasn't overly well blocked by the

1264
01:08:31,560 --> 01:08:35,360
Speaker 1: way he made that a touchdown. So see, the thing

1265
01:08:35,400 --> 01:08:38,800
Speaker 1: about Breeda ultimately that you like, which is different from

1266
01:08:38,840 --> 01:08:42,639
Speaker 1: Singletary and Moss, is that Breeda at least has some juice.

1267
01:08:42,720 --> 01:08:45,360
Speaker 1: Breeda can turn you know, a short run into a

1268
01:08:45,400 --> 01:08:48,040
Speaker 1: long run simply because he's got some juice to him.

1269
01:08:48,040 --> 01:08:51,280
Speaker 1: And I think they need that right now because their

1270
01:08:51,320 --> 01:08:54,240
Speaker 1: pass game has not really been attacking down field, either

1271
01:08:54,280 --> 01:08:57,880
Speaker 1: by choice or just because they feel like it's not there,

1272
01:08:58,000 --> 01:09:01,799
Speaker 1: whatever the reason. But I think you'll see more of Rita,

1273
01:09:02,000 --> 01:09:04,360
Speaker 1: and I think you'll see runs that played to his strength,

1274
01:09:04,400 --> 01:09:06,080
Speaker 1: and that's why I mentioned you saw a lot of

1275
01:09:06,120 --> 01:09:09,040
Speaker 1: outside type runs. But here's the screen that we're looking

1276
01:09:09,080 --> 01:09:11,519
Speaker 1: at right now, and you know, you can see that

1277
01:09:11,640 --> 01:09:14,400
Speaker 1: there were two defenders who were unblocked right there and

1278
01:09:14,479 --> 01:09:18,080
Speaker 1: he basically made them miss. So he just adds another element.

1279
01:09:19,600 --> 01:09:23,760
Speaker 1: Looking at the other games around the NFL yesterday, all

1280
01:09:23,800 --> 01:09:26,240
Speaker 1: three road teams won, I don't know if there's a

1281
01:09:26,280 --> 01:09:28,000
Speaker 1: trend there or what you make of that, but what

1282
01:09:28,120 --> 01:09:31,120
Speaker 1: you see in the Dallas Oakland game, and of course

1283
01:09:31,160 --> 01:09:34,559
Speaker 1: in the Detroit Chicago game, anything of note, Well, I'm

1284
01:09:34,560 --> 01:09:36,960
Speaker 1: gonna I'm in the name of full disclosure, I did

1285
01:09:37,000 --> 01:09:39,320
Speaker 1: not see the early game. I was actually in the

1286
01:09:39,360 --> 01:09:42,760
Speaker 1: office watching tapes. Do you believe it or not? You know? So,

1287
01:09:43,800 --> 01:09:46,240
Speaker 1: and then we went and then we went to dinner.

1288
01:09:46,439 --> 01:09:50,599
Speaker 1: You're a goner, man, I know. I'm absolutely I get it.

1289
01:09:50,760 --> 01:09:55,720
Speaker 1: I get it. He's watching tape. Yeah, yeah, I'm a

1290
01:09:55,720 --> 01:09:58,200
Speaker 1: little I'm a little lost. So I got home, you know,

1291
01:09:58,200 --> 01:10:00,679
Speaker 1: I didn't get home till about three fifteen. I guess

1292
01:10:00,720 --> 01:10:03,479
Speaker 1: I saw their long eighteen play drive with the field

1293
01:10:03,520 --> 01:10:06,720
Speaker 1: goal kick, but that was about it. Um uh, and

1294
01:10:06,760 --> 01:10:09,280
Speaker 1: then we went to our dinner. But uh so, but

1295
01:10:09,360 --> 01:10:13,559
Speaker 1: I did watch the Dallas offensive tape and uh, you know,

1296
01:10:13,680 --> 01:10:16,320
Speaker 1: Dallas is a team right now. They're struggling to run

1297
01:10:16,360 --> 01:10:19,160
Speaker 1: the ball, believe it or not. Last five games they've

1298
01:10:19,160 --> 01:10:21,599
Speaker 1: not been able to run well at all. Their old

1299
01:10:21,760 --> 01:10:24,680
Speaker 1: line is getting handled and that, you know, I think

1300
01:10:24,680 --> 01:10:27,240
Speaker 1: people would be surprised to hear that because it's Dallas

1301
01:10:27,320 --> 01:10:30,120
Speaker 1: is O line. But their old line is getting handled

1302
01:10:30,120 --> 01:10:32,240
Speaker 1: in the run game, and they're gonna need to get

1303
01:10:32,280 --> 01:10:35,759
Speaker 1: that fixed because I really think Dak Prescott has really

1304
01:10:35,840 --> 01:10:39,360
Speaker 1: grown into a really good quarterback. But again, you get

1305
01:10:39,400 --> 01:10:41,400
Speaker 1: caught up and you can't throw the ball, you know,

1306
01:10:41,479 --> 01:10:43,639
Speaker 1: fifty times a game. You just can't play that way

1307
01:10:43,680 --> 01:10:47,439
Speaker 1: in this league. All right, Greig, listen, we appreciate the insight.

1308
01:10:47,479 --> 01:10:49,920
Speaker 1: As always, we will catch up with you next week

1309
01:10:50,000 --> 01:10:53,439
Speaker 1: when we've got a very wet, a very week. We

1310
01:10:53,520 --> 01:10:55,800
Speaker 1: got a very very big one coming up here, as

1311
01:10:55,840 --> 01:10:58,880
Speaker 1: you want, Massive, Massive, and something tells me it'll be

1312
01:10:58,920 --> 01:11:01,720
Speaker 1: featured on the ESPN NFL matchup show Just a Hunt.

1313
01:11:01,880 --> 01:11:04,120
Speaker 1: You know, my guest tells me it might be our

1314
01:11:04,120 --> 01:11:06,040
Speaker 1: featured game with a full segment. But you know, I

1315
01:11:06,040 --> 01:11:08,800
Speaker 1: don't want to jump out, all right, we look forward

1316
01:11:08,800 --> 01:11:13,599
Speaker 1: to I just go one play at a time, guys. Yeah, yeah,

1317
01:11:13,680 --> 01:11:17,040
Speaker 1: talk to your producer. Maybe he'll listen. Yeah, that would

1318
01:11:17,080 --> 01:11:19,479
Speaker 1: be me. I know that's right, all right. When you're

1319
01:11:20,720 --> 01:11:22,840
Speaker 1: when you talk to that guy when you're shaving in

1320
01:11:22,840 --> 01:11:26,120
Speaker 1: the morning, talk to the guy with the razor. Thanks Greig.

1321
01:11:26,120 --> 01:11:29,080
Speaker 1: As always, we catch up with you next week. Thanks guys.

1322
01:11:29,280 --> 01:11:31,960
Speaker 1: All right, that's great co sale from NFL Films and

1323
01:11:32,040 --> 01:11:34,679
Speaker 1: also one of the co hosts on the ESPN NFL

1324
01:11:35,240 --> 01:11:38,439
Speaker 1: Matchup Show, and he's already kind of given us a

1325
01:11:38,640 --> 01:11:41,720
Speaker 1: giant hint that there will be a full segment on

1326
01:11:41,840 --> 01:11:46,040
Speaker 1: Bill's Patriots four week thirteen. That game is gonna be

1327
01:11:46,120 --> 01:11:49,800
Speaker 1: amazing because the Patriots are playing as they always have

1328
01:11:49,920 --> 01:11:52,720
Speaker 1: played this way, but now they got some guys this

1329
01:11:52,800 --> 01:11:55,200
Speaker 1: year that they didn't have last year. Their their defense

1330
01:11:55,360 --> 01:11:57,760
Speaker 1: is playing lights out. They're really difficult to move the

1331
01:11:57,800 --> 01:12:04,679
Speaker 1: ball on. They're great situation they they're well disciplined. Um,

1332
01:12:04,880 --> 01:12:07,680
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a hard game to score points in.

1333
01:12:08,439 --> 01:12:10,240
Speaker 1: And of course they got the young guy Mac Jones,

1334
01:12:10,280 --> 01:12:13,080
Speaker 1: who you're not gonna sack him, but you know, the

1335
01:12:13,160 --> 01:12:16,960
Speaker 1: ball's coming out and the guy throws it. He's Mac

1336
01:12:17,080 --> 01:12:22,040
Speaker 1: Jones doesn't miss layups and a lot of young quarterbacks

1337
01:12:22,040 --> 01:12:25,800
Speaker 1: have struggle, struggle, trouble with that. He doesn't the guy.

1338
01:12:25,800 --> 01:12:27,519
Speaker 1: If the guy's open, he's gonna get it there. Cam

1339
01:12:27,560 --> 01:12:30,360
Speaker 1: Newton could not get that done last year. There were

1340
01:12:30,680 --> 01:12:34,120
Speaker 1: a handful of plays in both games against the Patriots

1341
01:12:34,120 --> 01:12:36,559
Speaker 1: where Cam Newton just couldn't put the ball on the guy.

1342
01:12:37,400 --> 01:12:40,280
Speaker 1: Mac Jones can and that'll make a big difference in

1343
01:12:40,320 --> 01:12:43,519
Speaker 1: this game. Um, completing over seventy percent of his past

1344
01:12:43,680 --> 01:12:46,720
Speaker 1: he puts the ball where the show. Yeah, so it's

1345
01:12:46,720 --> 01:12:50,200
Speaker 1: gonna be a really interesting game, huge game. Um. The

1346
01:12:50,280 --> 01:12:53,280
Speaker 1: Bills no question got the monkey off their back last

1347
01:12:53,360 --> 01:12:58,760
Speaker 1: year with regards to whatever demons they had about the Patriots.

1348
01:12:58,800 --> 01:13:00,880
Speaker 1: And you know, Sean mc irman had not won a

1349
01:13:00,920 --> 01:13:03,720
Speaker 1: game up until last year. Then he swept him. Um,

1350
01:13:04,439 --> 01:13:07,040
Speaker 1: huge game in on Monday Night in New England last

1351
01:13:07,120 --> 01:13:10,960
Speaker 1: year where the Bills win thirty eight to nine. Um,

1352
01:13:11,040 --> 01:13:13,479
Speaker 1: now it's here, Now, it's here. It's gonna be an

1353
01:13:13,479 --> 01:13:16,360
Speaker 1: interesting game. It's massive and it's interesting too, I'm sure trying.

1354
01:13:16,400 --> 01:13:21,360
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts? Do you cheer for the Titans,

1355
01:13:21,600 --> 01:13:24,200
Speaker 1: for the Patriots, The most important thing is the division.

1356
01:13:24,280 --> 01:13:27,240
Speaker 1: Right now. The important thing is the division. You have

1357
01:13:27,280 --> 01:13:32,040
Speaker 1: to root for the Titans on Sunday and then huh

1358
01:13:32,120 --> 01:13:34,040
Speaker 1: are you're rooting for the Titans tonight? They're playing on

1359
01:13:34,080 --> 01:13:38,439
Speaker 1: Sunday Sunday. Yeah, you root for the Titans, and then

1360
01:13:38,479 --> 01:13:40,439
Speaker 1: you take your chance. Then you hope the Titans fallen

1361
01:13:40,520 --> 01:13:42,920
Speaker 1: it Titans just before we go to break the Titans,

1362
01:13:43,960 --> 01:13:48,560
Speaker 1: New England, then Jacksonville, Pittsburgh, San Francisco, Miami, Houston, Tennessee's

1363
01:13:48,600 --> 01:13:51,679
Speaker 1: got they got a downhills until they get to Pittsburgh,

1364
01:13:51,680 --> 01:13:55,160
Speaker 1: maybe San Francisco. Weeks fifteen and sixteen. That's where you

1365
01:13:55,200 --> 01:13:57,000
Speaker 1: hope or I don't care. They got to lose a

1366
01:13:57,000 --> 01:14:00,120
Speaker 1: couple of games and the Bills gotta keep winning. We

1367
01:14:00,160 --> 01:14:02,920
Speaker 1: have to take a break here because when we come back,

1368
01:14:03,040 --> 01:14:06,599
Speaker 1: it is time for the Maddie Awards, presented by one

1369
01:14:06,640 --> 01:14:10,479
Speaker 1: Maddie Glab after every Bill's victory. So we'll see what

1370
01:14:11,520 --> 01:14:15,240
Speaker 1: clever and creative awards have been thought up this week.

1371
01:14:15,680 --> 01:14:17,880
Speaker 1: You check in with Maddy next here on One Bill's Live,

1372
01:14:17,960 --> 01:14:20,120
Speaker 1: presented by a lot of health It's Buffalo Bills Radio.

1373
01:14:30,920 --> 01:14:33,599
Speaker 1: The stamp Jock fakes a handoff sets up the throw

1374
01:14:33,640 --> 01:14:36,120
Speaker 1: got a man wide open, caught at the fourteen yard nine.

1375
01:14:36,200 --> 01:14:40,240
Speaker 1: Dawson knocks and tied the five headed to the end zone. Touchdown, Buffalo.

1376
01:14:41,000 --> 01:14:44,400
Speaker 1: I'm fourth and two. They throw a strike a touchdown

1377
01:14:44,439 --> 01:14:47,640
Speaker 1: past Josh Allen, Dawson knocks. We have a lot of

1378
01:14:47,720 --> 01:14:51,360
Speaker 1: momentum right now, and that just shows, you know, Coach

1379
01:14:51,400 --> 01:14:53,479
Speaker 1: McDermott having a lot of faith and goes day ball

1380
01:14:53,520 --> 01:14:55,920
Speaker 1: and then goes Dad's having trusting us and getting the

1381
01:14:55,960 --> 01:15:01,559
Speaker 1: job done. That's what you want. You know, We're gonna

1382
01:15:01,560 --> 01:15:03,760
Speaker 1: be able to trust your players and there'll be other

1383
01:15:03,800 --> 01:15:06,479
Speaker 1: situations where we go for it, don't go for it.

1384
01:15:06,560 --> 01:15:07,960
Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, I'm always trying

1385
01:15:07,960 --> 01:15:10,080
Speaker 1: to put the team in the right position to win

1386
01:15:10,120 --> 01:15:15,479
Speaker 1: the game, based on score, based on situations. Dawson having

1387
01:15:15,560 --> 01:15:19,840
Speaker 1: so much success, I think he's using different hair products

1388
01:15:19,880 --> 01:15:21,439
Speaker 1: this year than he did in a year just before.

1389
01:15:23,720 --> 01:15:27,160
Speaker 1: That is your freed Lay Crunch Time play of the game.

1390
01:15:27,400 --> 01:15:31,400
Speaker 1: Dawson Knox's second touchdown reception on a fourth and two play.

1391
01:15:31,479 --> 01:15:35,200
Speaker 1: Freedo LA, official sponsor of the Buffalo Bills. We'll see

1392
01:15:35,240 --> 01:15:38,280
Speaker 1: if we get another appearance from Dawson Knox in the

1393
01:15:38,400 --> 01:15:43,679
Speaker 1: upcoming Mattie Awards presented by Energy Mark, the official energy

1394
01:15:43,760 --> 01:15:49,040
Speaker 1: supplier to the Buffalo Bills. Maddie, have you recovered from Thanksgiving?

1395
01:15:49,080 --> 01:15:52,519
Speaker 1: How are you? I have recovered? I think the better

1396
01:15:52,600 --> 01:15:55,360
Speaker 1: question is have we recovered from the late night that

1397
01:15:55,439 --> 01:15:58,720
Speaker 1: we all worked yesterday? And I am so happy to

1398
01:15:58,840 --> 01:16:01,360
Speaker 1: have worked because you know, it ended with a win.

1399
01:16:01,600 --> 01:16:05,160
Speaker 1: It would have not been as great waking up Friday morning,

1400
01:16:05,720 --> 01:16:07,720
Speaker 1: you guys having to do the show, me having to

1401
01:16:07,800 --> 01:16:10,599
Speaker 1: work coming off of a loss going into the Patriots week.

1402
01:16:10,640 --> 01:16:13,360
Speaker 1: A win makes it just feel so much better. And

1403
01:16:13,520 --> 01:16:15,800
Speaker 1: I'm going to sleep at like two thirty in the morning.

1404
01:16:15,880 --> 01:16:18,320
Speaker 1: Last night, I was like, you know what, I'm happy

1405
01:16:18,320 --> 01:16:20,960
Speaker 1: that I'm about to get no sleep because the Bills won.

1406
01:16:21,120 --> 01:16:23,880
Speaker 1: And that's the best thing. Yeah, we'll take it. It

1407
01:16:23,880 --> 01:16:26,120
Speaker 1: makes getting no sleep easier. I don't disagree with that

1408
01:16:26,200 --> 01:16:27,840
Speaker 1: for a second. So you put in some extra time

1409
01:16:27,920 --> 01:16:30,479
Speaker 1: last night getting ready for the Maddie Awards. First out

1410
01:16:30,479 --> 01:16:32,280
Speaker 1: of buy who where do you start? I mean, is

1411
01:16:32,280 --> 01:16:34,400
Speaker 1: it thirty one to six win over a team that

1412
01:16:34,439 --> 01:16:37,479
Speaker 1: was decimated by injuries? You got back on track both

1413
01:16:37,520 --> 01:16:39,160
Speaker 1: sides of the ball, all three sides of the ball,

1414
01:16:39,200 --> 01:16:42,719
Speaker 1: there's new players on the roster. Where did you start

1415
01:16:42,760 --> 01:16:46,880
Speaker 1: with this? And all right, well let's just start with

1416
01:16:47,439 --> 01:16:50,800
Speaker 1: I'm mixed. Okay, So this week I'm mixing in some

1417
01:16:50,920 --> 01:16:55,639
Speaker 1: like Thanksgiving themed awards and some regular ones. So these

1418
01:16:55,680 --> 01:16:58,920
Speaker 1: may be super cheesy everybody, but just bear with me, please,

1419
01:16:59,000 --> 01:17:01,520
Speaker 1: because trying to have some fun here on a Friday.

1420
01:17:01,840 --> 01:17:05,519
Speaker 1: Number one, We're gonna go with wall of Routes. I

1421
01:17:05,560 --> 01:17:09,439
Speaker 1: think we can all guess who gets this award. Stephan Diggs.

1422
01:17:09,520 --> 01:17:13,880
Speaker 1: That route that he ran on his touchdown against Marshawn

1423
01:17:13,960 --> 01:17:18,000
Speaker 1: Lattimore was absolutely insane. It was crazy to know that

1424
01:17:18,040 --> 01:17:19,920
Speaker 1: you need to run that type of route in that

1425
01:17:19,960 --> 01:17:23,400
Speaker 1: type of situation, and to be able to execute that

1426
01:17:23,479 --> 01:17:27,639
Speaker 1: type of route against a player like Marshawn Lattimore. I mean, guys,

1427
01:17:27,720 --> 01:17:31,880
Speaker 1: coming into this game, Stephan Diggs and Marshawn Lattimore played

1428
01:17:31,880 --> 01:17:35,639
Speaker 1: against each other four times previously, and in those four games,

1429
01:17:36,040 --> 01:17:39,400
Speaker 1: Steph was only targeted twice when Marshawn was going up

1430
01:17:39,439 --> 01:17:42,840
Speaker 1: against him. This is all PFF with these stats. And

1431
01:17:42,960 --> 01:17:46,360
Speaker 1: in those two targeted times, he had two receptions for

1432
01:17:46,479 --> 01:17:49,160
Speaker 1: thirty five yards, so not too bad, but the fact

1433
01:17:49,200 --> 01:17:52,479
Speaker 1: that he was never targeted going against Marshawn Lattimore gets

1434
01:17:52,560 --> 01:17:56,040
Speaker 1: targeted here and ends up running an insane route that

1435
01:17:56,120 --> 01:17:58,439
Speaker 1: leads to a touchdown for the Buffalo Bills. I mean,

1436
01:17:58,720 --> 01:18:02,439
Speaker 1: absolutely elite. It's hard to have new words to say

1437
01:18:02,479 --> 01:18:05,200
Speaker 1: about Stefon Diggs because I feel like at this time

1438
01:18:05,520 --> 01:18:10,280
Speaker 1: we've used all the words and we've seen how impressive

1439
01:18:10,320 --> 01:18:13,600
Speaker 1: he can be on these routes. But this one was

1440
01:18:13,640 --> 01:18:17,639
Speaker 1: just another example of how great of a football player

1441
01:18:17,680 --> 01:18:20,760
Speaker 1: he is, how great he is at the tasks that

1442
01:18:20,800 --> 01:18:24,400
Speaker 1: he has. He was called a technician by his players

1443
01:18:24,520 --> 01:18:28,679
Speaker 1: after that touchdown reception. I mean it was it was crisp,

1444
01:18:28,800 --> 01:18:30,400
Speaker 1: it was clean. I'm not going to be able to

1445
01:18:30,439 --> 01:18:32,280
Speaker 1: get over that route for a while. I think this

1446
01:18:32,360 --> 01:18:34,000
Speaker 1: is going to be a route that we're talking about

1447
01:18:34,600 --> 01:18:36,920
Speaker 1: after the season, going back to some of the best plays,

1448
01:18:36,960 --> 01:18:40,160
Speaker 1: because that was amazing. Steph has six touchdowns in his

1449
01:18:40,280 --> 01:18:42,799
Speaker 1: last six games, which is the most in the NFL.

1450
01:18:42,920 --> 01:18:45,640
Speaker 1: Over that Times fan, so he is balling out. I

1451
01:18:45,680 --> 01:18:49,360
Speaker 1: am happy for him, happy for the offense that he's seen,

1452
01:18:49,400 --> 01:18:51,479
Speaker 1: the type of production that he wants. He wants to

1453
01:18:51,520 --> 01:18:53,880
Speaker 1: get the ball. He understands that it's not always going

1454
01:18:53,920 --> 01:18:59,400
Speaker 1: to happen. But that touchdown. Wow. Wall of routes, Yeah,

1455
01:18:59,479 --> 01:19:02,519
Speaker 1: very nice. And I will say this, it kind of

1456
01:19:02,520 --> 01:19:04,679
Speaker 1: reminded me a little bit of Stevie Johnson because Stevie

1457
01:19:04,760 --> 01:19:07,160
Speaker 1: used to do that one on one basketball kind of

1458
01:19:07,160 --> 01:19:09,800
Speaker 1: set up move before getting into his route, and you

1459
01:19:09,880 --> 01:19:11,599
Speaker 1: have to trust that the protection is going to hold

1460
01:19:11,640 --> 01:19:14,240
Speaker 1: up long enough to execute that route and still give

1461
01:19:14,320 --> 01:19:15,760
Speaker 1: Josh a chance to get rid of the ball. And

1462
01:19:15,840 --> 01:19:18,519
Speaker 1: Josh Jazer's an assist on that because he threw a

1463
01:19:18,560 --> 01:19:21,960
Speaker 1: freaking laser between the numbers. There's a lot in that's

1464
01:19:21,960 --> 01:19:24,600
Speaker 1: a tight window there. That route doesn't work out on

1465
01:19:24,640 --> 01:19:26,479
Speaker 1: the field because you have to take it past the sticks,

1466
01:19:26,479 --> 01:19:29,080
Speaker 1: but because they're on the six yard line, they had time.

1467
01:19:29,200 --> 01:19:31,360
Speaker 1: He could work the route without having to worry about

1468
01:19:31,360 --> 01:19:33,360
Speaker 1: getting any depth about it. He could just do it

1469
01:19:33,479 --> 01:19:35,960
Speaker 1: right there a six yard d plus the way he

1470
01:19:36,000 --> 01:19:38,640
Speaker 1: comes out of that route, it's unbelievable because usually when

1471
01:19:38,640 --> 01:19:42,200
Speaker 1: you're hard, when you plant hard and go inside, you pivot,

1472
01:19:42,320 --> 01:19:44,400
Speaker 1: meaning you put your if you're going on that side

1473
01:19:44,439 --> 01:19:45,840
Speaker 1: of the field Diggs was on, you put your left

1474
01:19:45,840 --> 01:19:48,559
Speaker 1: foot in the ground and turned towards the quarterback. He

1475
01:19:48,720 --> 01:19:51,759
Speaker 1: spun it on like an out route and turned back around,

1476
01:19:52,200 --> 01:19:55,120
Speaker 1: turned his back to the quarter back. To the quarterback man.

1477
01:19:55,280 --> 01:19:58,800
Speaker 1: That is a high level, high level, high level stuff,

1478
01:19:58,880 --> 01:20:02,559
Speaker 1: high levels, all right. Next one, the big old turkey leg.

1479
01:20:02,640 --> 01:20:05,920
Speaker 1: What do we got here? The turkey leg. This is

1480
01:20:05,920 --> 01:20:08,880
Speaker 1: going to Dawson Knox one just because of the way

1481
01:20:08,920 --> 01:20:11,120
Speaker 1: he took a huge bite out of that turkey leg.

1482
01:20:11,600 --> 01:20:16,760
Speaker 1: I was dying laughing watching those guys like maybe like

1483
01:20:16,920 --> 01:20:19,160
Speaker 1: try and figure out if they wanted to take a bite,

1484
01:20:19,160 --> 01:20:21,200
Speaker 1: how big of a bite that they should take. You know,

1485
01:20:21,320 --> 01:20:24,000
Speaker 1: Josh and Steph were very much you know, I'm just

1486
01:20:24,040 --> 01:20:26,400
Speaker 1: gonna I'm just gonna nibble here while I answer these

1487
01:20:26,439 --> 01:20:31,280
Speaker 1: postgame questions, and Dawson just Rambo Knox goes straight in

1488
01:20:31,479 --> 01:20:33,679
Speaker 1: for the huge bite and can't even answer a question

1489
01:20:33,720 --> 01:20:35,920
Speaker 1: because he has too much in his mouth and had

1490
01:20:35,960 --> 01:20:39,519
Speaker 1: to drink it down with water. Hilarious. But he also

1491
01:20:39,600 --> 01:20:42,479
Speaker 1: gets the turkey leg award for me because think of

1492
01:20:42,520 --> 01:20:44,479
Speaker 1: the turkey leg. This is a part of the turkey

1493
01:20:44,560 --> 01:20:47,360
Speaker 1: that a lot of people love, you know, a lot

1494
01:20:47,400 --> 01:20:50,320
Speaker 1: of meat on the bone here. So I'm giving this

1495
01:20:50,360 --> 01:20:53,040
Speaker 1: to Dawson because a lot of people loved, including me,

1496
01:20:53,120 --> 01:20:57,639
Speaker 1: his performance from last night two touchdowns still recovering from

1497
01:20:57,680 --> 01:21:01,880
Speaker 1: that hand injury. They pointed out how much his hand

1498
01:21:01,960 --> 01:21:04,599
Speaker 1: was still swelling after the game, or how swelled up

1499
01:21:04,600 --> 01:21:08,160
Speaker 1: it looked. There is no way that he is completely

1500
01:21:08,280 --> 01:21:11,240
Speaker 1: recovered from this injury. Yes, he is healthy enough to

1501
01:21:11,320 --> 01:21:15,360
Speaker 1: be playing, but you are catching balls on a hand

1502
01:21:15,520 --> 01:21:18,960
Speaker 1: that you injured. And the fact that he's been as

1503
01:21:19,000 --> 01:21:21,559
Speaker 1: productive as he's been since coming back, this is his

1504
01:21:21,680 --> 01:21:26,120
Speaker 1: third game back, had two touchdowns, Like wow. He has

1505
01:21:26,160 --> 01:21:29,080
Speaker 1: had such a great season that we've talked about at

1506
01:21:29,200 --> 01:21:32,040
Speaker 1: length before he came out with the injury and now

1507
01:21:32,080 --> 01:21:35,160
Speaker 1: seeing him back and being the guy that he was

1508
01:21:35,200 --> 01:21:37,080
Speaker 1: to start the season. A lot of guys can have

1509
01:21:37,120 --> 01:21:40,759
Speaker 1: an injury and come back and you know, get lost

1510
01:21:40,840 --> 01:21:43,960
Speaker 1: in the mix of everything. That's not the case for Dawson.

1511
01:21:44,040 --> 01:21:46,760
Speaker 1: I mean, he sets a franchise record here for most

1512
01:21:46,800 --> 01:21:50,160
Speaker 1: touchdowns by a tight end and we're just in week thirteen.

1513
01:21:50,960 --> 01:21:53,360
Speaker 1: A lot of people counted him out this year, Steve,

1514
01:21:53,520 --> 01:21:55,840
Speaker 1: I know you were not one of those people. He's

1515
01:21:55,880 --> 01:21:59,439
Speaker 1: proving so many people wrong and I love this for him.

1516
01:21:59,479 --> 01:22:03,320
Speaker 1: So he's Turkey leg for me. Yeah, And it's interesting too.

1517
01:22:03,360 --> 01:22:06,080
Speaker 1: We had these conversations in the third year and guy's

1518
01:22:06,200 --> 01:22:08,040
Speaker 1: careers are supposed to be kind of this wonder year

1519
01:22:08,040 --> 01:22:10,599
Speaker 1: where they're either take a huge step out, step up forward,

1520
01:22:10,720 --> 01:22:12,960
Speaker 1: or you start to make a negative opinion about how

1521
01:22:13,000 --> 01:22:14,880
Speaker 1: they're what kind of player they're going to be. Dawson

1522
01:22:14,960 --> 01:22:17,479
Speaker 1: Knox certainly took a step forward, also another third year

1523
01:22:17,520 --> 01:22:20,080
Speaker 1: players as one of the guys that you're giving your

1524
01:22:20,240 --> 01:22:24,479
Speaker 1: Leftover Award too. All right, so leftovers right. We heard

1525
01:22:24,520 --> 01:22:28,120
Speaker 1: Micah Hyde talk about the leftovers in his press conference

1526
01:22:28,200 --> 01:22:31,160
Speaker 1: last night, saying, you know we're gonna have Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow.

1527
01:22:31,400 --> 01:22:34,560
Speaker 1: The leftovers are better than the meal you think of.

1528
01:22:34,600 --> 01:22:37,360
Speaker 1: The leftovers. People are cleaning up the played cleaning up

1529
01:22:37,360 --> 01:22:39,760
Speaker 1: for everyone else. So who gets the clean up the

1530
01:22:39,840 --> 01:22:43,280
Speaker 1: Leftovers Award is Ed Oliver and Matt Mulano because they're

1531
01:22:43,320 --> 01:22:47,479
Speaker 1: always cleaning it up for everybody. These two had great games.

1532
01:22:47,880 --> 01:22:50,880
Speaker 1: Ed Oliver playing on Thanksgiving. I think it's just his

1533
01:22:51,080 --> 01:22:53,280
Speaker 1: thing where he goes off in these games in front

1534
01:22:53,280 --> 01:22:55,960
Speaker 1: of his family. He talked about he had forty people

1535
01:22:56,520 --> 01:22:59,320
Speaker 1: family members, wives and friends in the seats because he

1536
01:22:59,439 --> 01:23:02,240
Speaker 1: is from louis Zianna. So he just performs well in

1537
01:23:02,280 --> 01:23:05,200
Speaker 1: a Thanksgiving stage and in front of family members. Six

1538
01:23:05,280 --> 01:23:08,719
Speaker 1: quarterback pressures. That is huge for him. And he also

1539
01:23:08,920 --> 01:23:12,000
Speaker 1: finally got his sack. I know it was only half

1540
01:23:12,000 --> 01:23:14,280
Speaker 1: a sack, but it is something he's been waiting for.

1541
01:23:14,439 --> 01:23:17,720
Speaker 1: He's gotten sacks taken off the board this season, so

1542
01:23:17,840 --> 01:23:20,800
Speaker 1: good to see him finally get one. Love how he's

1543
01:23:20,800 --> 01:23:23,400
Speaker 1: coming onto the scene this season. Just like we talk

1544
01:23:23,479 --> 01:23:26,360
Speaker 1: about Dawson Knox, this is someone who was impressing and

1545
01:23:26,479 --> 01:23:30,000
Speaker 1: definitely playing up to their to where they were drafted

1546
01:23:30,520 --> 01:23:32,800
Speaker 1: when the Buffalo Bills drafted him in the first round.

1547
01:23:32,880 --> 01:23:35,840
Speaker 1: And Matt Milano, I mean, come on, this guy had

1548
01:23:35,880 --> 01:23:38,280
Speaker 1: some great tackles in space where it could have been

1549
01:23:38,320 --> 01:23:41,160
Speaker 1: really easy for the New Orleans Saints to get loose

1550
01:23:41,280 --> 01:23:43,639
Speaker 1: and get a lot of extra yards. But Matt Milano

1551
01:23:43,760 --> 01:23:45,600
Speaker 1: is there to clean up the job, to do the

1552
01:23:45,640 --> 01:23:48,280
Speaker 1: dirty work. So is at Oliver. So they are the

1553
01:23:48,479 --> 01:23:53,160
Speaker 1: leftovers award winners. Okay, And you take the Thanksgiving theme

1554
01:23:53,320 --> 01:23:58,200
Speaker 1: a step further here with the Thanksgiving traditions, Mannie, Yeah,

1555
01:23:58,240 --> 01:24:01,360
Speaker 1: we all have traditions, things that we do on Thanksgiving.

1556
01:24:02,160 --> 01:24:05,520
Speaker 1: You know something that happens every year, whether it's somebody's

1557
01:24:05,520 --> 01:24:09,720
Speaker 1: always burning something or somebody's always bringing this dish to Thanksgiving,

1558
01:24:09,880 --> 01:24:12,479
Speaker 1: or there's a game or whatever. Well, what's just a

1559
01:24:12,600 --> 01:24:16,120
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving tradition for the Buffalo Bills. It's that Josh Allen

1560
01:24:16,160 --> 01:24:19,479
Speaker 1: balls out on Thanksgiving. Think back to twenty nineteen against

1561
01:24:19,600 --> 01:24:22,360
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys. The Bills had a great game. It was

1562
01:24:22,479 --> 01:24:26,559
Speaker 1: kind of Josh Allen's coming out party. He completed seventy

1563
01:24:26,640 --> 01:24:29,640
Speaker 1: nine percent of his passes and what does he do

1564
01:24:29,760 --> 01:24:32,679
Speaker 1: last night? Completes eighty two percent of his passes, throws

1565
01:24:32,720 --> 01:24:37,080
Speaker 1: for four freaking touchdowns. That's only happened twice in franchise

1566
01:24:37,200 --> 01:24:41,000
Speaker 1: history where a quarterback has thrown for over eighty percent

1567
01:24:41,400 --> 01:24:45,040
Speaker 1: and thrown for at least four touchdowns or collected at

1568
01:24:45,080 --> 01:24:48,799
Speaker 1: least four touchdowns. Josh Allen holds both of those stat lines.

1569
01:24:48,880 --> 01:24:51,040
Speaker 1: So he had a great game. I know. He threw

1570
01:24:51,080 --> 01:24:56,320
Speaker 1: those two interceptions, which definitely, you know, doesn't amount to

1571
01:24:56,520 --> 01:24:58,840
Speaker 1: as great of a performance as he could have if

1572
01:24:58,840 --> 01:25:01,360
Speaker 1: you wipe those off the board. But he came back

1573
01:25:01,400 --> 01:25:04,960
Speaker 1: from that and they scored thirty one points. He didn't

1574
01:25:05,040 --> 01:25:07,640
Speaker 1: let those two interceptions get to himself, which we know

1575
01:25:07,840 --> 01:25:10,080
Speaker 1: how we talk about Josh Allen and he knows he

1576
01:25:10,120 --> 01:25:13,120
Speaker 1: can get in his head sometimes and bring himself down.

1577
01:25:13,200 --> 01:25:16,559
Speaker 1: But this offense looks like a high powered offense last

1578
01:25:16,640 --> 01:25:20,080
Speaker 1: night against the Saints. So Thanksgiving traditions, Josh Allen's balling

1579
01:25:20,120 --> 01:25:23,080
Speaker 1: out on Thanksgiving games. It's just something that happens, all right,

1580
01:25:23,240 --> 01:25:25,679
Speaker 1: last one we have time for today, Maddie. The All

1581
01:25:25,760 --> 01:25:28,280
Speaker 1: Pro award? And where I like, where your head's at

1582
01:25:28,280 --> 01:25:31,360
Speaker 1: with this one? Who gets the All Pro award? All right?

1583
01:25:31,520 --> 01:25:34,960
Speaker 1: All Pro? Just crown already. Jordan Ployer, you earn it

1584
01:25:35,000 --> 01:25:37,280
Speaker 1: in my book. Let's just call him an All Pro.

1585
01:25:37,400 --> 01:25:40,040
Speaker 1: Send him to the Pro Bowl right now, because he

1586
01:25:40,400 --> 01:25:44,280
Speaker 1: completely deserves it. This is someone who has been counted out,

1587
01:25:44,320 --> 01:25:48,679
Speaker 1: maybe by national media or just national people who aren't

1588
01:25:48,680 --> 01:25:51,240
Speaker 1: necessarily Big Bills fans, but just watch the league or

1589
01:25:51,240 --> 01:25:54,760
Speaker 1: pay attention to the league. He shows up every single game.

1590
01:25:54,800 --> 01:25:57,640
Speaker 1: He has five interceptions this season. Now it ties a

1591
01:25:57,720 --> 01:26:02,559
Speaker 1: career high for him having such a wonderful, impressive year.

1592
01:26:03,760 --> 01:26:06,040
Speaker 1: Him and Micah Hyde and what they were able to

1593
01:26:06,080 --> 01:26:09,280
Speaker 1: do as a tandem in that safety unit does so

1594
01:26:09,560 --> 01:26:13,360
Speaker 1: much for the defense as a whole. Offensives have such

1595
01:26:13,360 --> 01:26:16,240
Speaker 1: a hard time getting by them. The low amount of

1596
01:26:16,240 --> 01:26:19,320
Speaker 1: passing touchdowns that that group has allowed this season, Jordan

1597
01:26:19,360 --> 01:26:21,840
Speaker 1: Player is a big reason because of that, and he's

1598
01:26:21,880 --> 01:26:24,719
Speaker 1: a big reason because of the way that the Buffalo

1599
01:26:24,720 --> 01:26:27,720
Speaker 1: Bills play defense as a whole, ranking so high in

1600
01:26:27,760 --> 01:26:30,519
Speaker 1: so many different categories. So he's an all pro in

1601
01:26:30,560 --> 01:26:33,120
Speaker 1: my book. He deserves it. So we're just going to

1602
01:26:33,240 --> 01:26:36,840
Speaker 1: crown him that today as we head into week thirteen. Yeah,

1603
01:26:36,880 --> 01:26:38,640
Speaker 1: and the only thing that he may not get is

1604
01:26:38,680 --> 01:26:41,400
Speaker 1: a discount at Emiral Legassi's restaurant in New Orleans, because

1605
01:26:41,400 --> 01:26:45,320
Speaker 1: he was characterizing turkey is dry. Well, you gotta think

1606
01:26:45,400 --> 01:26:48,639
Speaker 1: it was sitting out there there for fairness three hours, right,

1607
01:26:48,680 --> 01:26:51,559
Speaker 1: the stuff shows up a little late, probably late to

1608
01:26:51,560 --> 01:26:53,680
Speaker 1: the party. But yeah, madd Addie, good stuff. Thanks as

1609
01:26:53,720 --> 01:26:58,160
Speaker 1: always for your Maddie Awards. We hope and pray that

1610
01:26:58,560 --> 01:27:02,760
Speaker 1: we're talking to you on Tuesday of next week, not

1611
01:27:02,960 --> 01:27:05,599
Speaker 1: this coming week. Tuesday of next week, because that will

1612
01:27:05,600 --> 01:27:08,400
Speaker 1: mean a Monday Night victory over the Patriots for Buffalo.

1613
01:27:08,479 --> 01:27:11,080
Speaker 1: So we hope we see you there. Yes, I hope

1614
01:27:11,120 --> 01:27:12,920
Speaker 1: so too. Have a good show, guys, and have a

1615
01:27:13,000 --> 01:27:15,680
Speaker 1: nice long weekend. Yeah, let's soak it up right all right.

1616
01:27:15,720 --> 01:27:18,720
Speaker 1: That's the Maddie Awards, presented by Maddie Clab We will

1617
01:27:18,720 --> 01:27:20,920
Speaker 1: take a break here and close things up on a

1618
01:27:21,080 --> 01:27:24,759
Speaker 1: Football Friday, Chris Brown, Steve Tasker one Bills Live presented

1619
01:27:24,760 --> 01:27:37,360
Speaker 1: by Collid to Health. It's Buffalo Bills Radio. All right,

1620
01:27:37,400 --> 01:27:40,360
Speaker 1: welcome back on this Buffalo Football Friday. On the heels

1621
01:27:40,360 --> 01:27:42,519
Speaker 1: of the thirty one six. We're out of the Saints

1622
01:27:42,520 --> 01:27:46,479
Speaker 1: by the Bills. Now they have a few extra days

1623
01:27:46,479 --> 01:27:51,040
Speaker 1: to let the players rest relax after two games and five,

1624
01:27:52,680 --> 01:27:54,280
Speaker 1: get a little bit of a layoff here through the

1625
01:27:54,320 --> 01:27:57,960
Speaker 1: holiday weekend, get back at it on Monday. But the

1626
01:27:58,000 --> 01:28:02,840
Speaker 1: coaches we'll probably be working feverishly to take the extra

1627
01:28:02,880 --> 01:28:05,840
Speaker 1: time or take advantage of the extra time to start

1628
01:28:05,880 --> 01:28:08,800
Speaker 1: prepping for the Patriots. Yeah, they'll start getting ready for that.

1629
01:28:09,040 --> 01:28:11,000
Speaker 1: I think, you know, you got to be careful of

1630
01:28:11,120 --> 01:28:13,200
Speaker 1: where the Patriots go. They you know, the Bills have

1631
01:28:13,200 --> 01:28:15,559
Speaker 1: already given up a block punt once this season. And

1632
01:28:15,880 --> 01:28:17,640
Speaker 1: Matt Hawker. One of the things about it is, you know,

1633
01:28:17,640 --> 01:28:19,519
Speaker 1: when they brought him in, it's a good punt or

1634
01:28:19,520 --> 01:28:22,040
Speaker 1: no question. The one fault he has is that he's

1635
01:28:22,080 --> 01:28:24,639
Speaker 1: slow on his getoff times, you know either, I think

1636
01:28:24,640 --> 01:28:26,960
Speaker 1: the Patriots will be thinking about that, maybe coming in

1637
01:28:27,040 --> 01:28:29,120
Speaker 1: trying to come after him. On that. It's those kind

1638
01:28:29,160 --> 01:28:31,800
Speaker 1: of plays and those off the wall plays, you know,

1639
01:28:31,800 --> 01:28:34,400
Speaker 1: a forced fumble here, or tipped pass there, an interception

1640
01:28:34,840 --> 01:28:38,920
Speaker 1: that kind of or an awareness play you know, a

1641
01:28:39,000 --> 01:28:41,000
Speaker 1: trek play on in the kicking game, or something that

1642
01:28:41,160 --> 01:28:44,000
Speaker 1: you know that sometimes tips the scales in a game

1643
01:28:44,040 --> 01:28:47,320
Speaker 1: that you would expect to be close the bills. If anything,

1644
01:28:47,400 --> 01:28:50,439
Speaker 1: last night, maybe with the exception of the two turnovers,

1645
01:28:50,479 --> 01:28:54,759
Speaker 1: efficient in many areas, completion percentage, getting off the field

1646
01:28:54,800 --> 01:28:58,360
Speaker 1: on third down on defense, punt return five for forty nine,

1647
01:28:58,360 --> 01:28:59,960
Speaker 1: as you had mentioned earlier when we were off the

1648
01:29:00,120 --> 01:29:03,400
Speaker 1: year by Stevenson in his debut performance, and then there's

1649
01:29:03,439 --> 01:29:08,800
Speaker 1: this one. Four penalties for thirty five yards. Yeah, it's

1650
01:29:08,800 --> 01:29:11,760
Speaker 1: the lowest penalty totally about five weeks. They negated the

1651
01:29:11,760 --> 01:29:14,080
Speaker 1: two turnovers of Josh Allen because they stopped them twice

1652
01:29:14,120 --> 01:29:15,920
Speaker 1: on fourth down as well, so it's kind of a

1653
01:29:16,400 --> 01:29:19,000
Speaker 1: fifty fifties proposition. So they kind of came out even

1654
01:29:19,000 --> 01:29:21,320
Speaker 1: in the first half, even with two cent turnovers. So

1655
01:29:21,360 --> 01:29:24,920
Speaker 1: you really hope that consistency of play continues into a

1656
01:29:24,960 --> 01:29:28,160
Speaker 1: second week in a giant divisional game. That's it for us.

1657
01:29:28,320 --> 01:29:36,360
Speaker 1: Enjoy your holiday weekend. We'll see you back here on Monday.
