1
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:10,760
Speaker 1: At a Steve Tasker who has been all over the fields.

2
00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:12,400
Speaker 1: Kind of unique. He was kind of a dual role

3
00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:18,959
Speaker 1: pleader for you, Steve a blimp. We're not even in

4
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:25,599
Speaker 1: the straded here of normalcy. Here, Happy terrific Tuesday, everybody.

5
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:29,920
Speaker 1: Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you as we begin a

6
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:33,560
Speaker 1: Tuesday edition of One Bill's Live Plenty to get to

7
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:36,320
Speaker 1: a couple of Monday night games last night, including the

8
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 1: rescheduled affair between the Patriots and Chiefs, the Cam Newton

9
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:45,159
Speaker 1: List Patriots, and boy, they were looking for quarterback answers

10
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:47,280
Speaker 1: last night, weren't they, Steve. I mean, first it was

11
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:50,080
Speaker 1: Brian Hoyer, and then Bill Belichick said, man, what the

12
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:52,199
Speaker 1: heck put the younger guy? And oh boy, that's not

13
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 1: working too well either. For a minute, I'll say this

14
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:57,600
Speaker 1: Stidham look good for him, and then they well, and

15
00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 1: I like Hoyer too, but they both threw picks. Then

16
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 1: you don't like then, well, I'm sorry. They have to

17
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 1: sit down. Yeah, you gotta sit down. And then Bill

18
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 1: Belichick come come sit over here next to me, right,

19
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:09,680
Speaker 1: you come over here and sit here and watch for

20
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:12,680
Speaker 1: a while. And that's let me tell you something. And

21
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 1: they still lost by what was six? Yeah, that's touchdown.

22
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 1: It was close for a while. It was too close

23
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 1: the whole way. The pay let me Bill's fans Patriots

24
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:29,200
Speaker 1: are going nowhere. There's still the roadblock if you want

25
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 1: to that's you don't mean they're going nowhere contending first

26
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:37,399
Speaker 1: things first, win a division, and those guys are still

27
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:39,679
Speaker 1: the team to beat, and they're not easy to beat.

28
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 1: And they're gonna be worse with Cam well they were

29
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 1: last night. They're gonna be harder to beat than they

30
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:47,320
Speaker 1: were with Cam last night. Defensively, I think you can

31
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:51,279
Speaker 1: definitively say what am I saying that Belichick? They're harder

32
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 1: to beat. Yeah, you're sam than they were last night

33
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 1: with those other two guys. Right wow. And when you

34
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 1: said they're going nowhere, you mean they're not disappearing, They're

35
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 1: not just what you mean, don't mean they're gonna I've

36
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 1: been saying that the whole off season. You have when

37
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 1: when Tom Brady left and all those guys opted out,

38
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:10,639
Speaker 1: and they lost all those guys in free agency, they

39
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,359
Speaker 1: were a shell of the roster they were last year.

40
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 1: I said, you think Bill Belichick's gonna curl up and die? No,

41
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:20,520
Speaker 1: they're they're hard to beat. Last night was probably the

42
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 1: best defensive performance against that Chief's offense that we've seen

43
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:28,640
Speaker 1: in a while. I mean, he drew it up, really

44
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:31,239
Speaker 1: took the four quarters to get to twenty six points. Yeah,

45
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 1: and they were that team, Yeah, that team, and they

46
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:36,639
Speaker 1: were they they were pouring it on. They were labored

47
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 1: on all night and they barely they got twenty six

48
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:43,800
Speaker 1: laboring to get to twenty six. That was. That's the

49
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 1: best defensive performance I've seen against them this season. I

50
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 1: don't even think it's close with the way. I mean,

51
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 1: think about what they did to Baltimore just a week ago.

52
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 1: I'm telling you now, listen, don't get me wrong. Bill's Patriots.

53
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 1: I'm lining up to see that one. I'll stand in

54
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 1: line and pay money for a take, even though I

55
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,919
Speaker 1: don't have to. I would pay money to see that game. Yeah,

56
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 1: I'll pay money to see that game because this is

57
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 1: it's different now. This is a Bill's team that is ready,

58
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 1: is ready. You know, they're ready to take these guys on.

59
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:17,520
Speaker 1: And I'm not saying they didn't have a chance. They

60
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:19,799
Speaker 1: gave him two. They gave more they could handle last year,

61
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 1: and they that this offense is you know, this is

62
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,239
Speaker 1: a different team than it was last year, and I

63
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:28,679
Speaker 1: won't see the game, but I'm telling you I don't

64
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 1: expect the Bills come out and get up twenty eight

65
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 1: three on that crew. We will have a little bit

66
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 1: of an AFC landscape discussion here at the quarter pole

67
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 1: of the twenty twenty season and the two o'clock hour.

68
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 1: Today one o'clock we get our weekly visit from Good

69
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 1: Morning Football's Kyle Brando. Was fun to catch up with him,

70
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 1: and I have an interesting Bill's related story I'm gonna

71
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 1: have to share with him, so I'll hold it until

72
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 1: then with regard to watching the game last week, because

73
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 1: I'm still getting adjusted to this, Steve, you know, I

74
00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 1: know you're used to traveling during the season, so am

75
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 1: I and now not traveling for these road games. I'm

76
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 1: still trying to get in the groove here, trying to

77
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 1: figure this out, and you know, how to cover a

78
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 1: game properly when I only have TV to watch. It's

79
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 1: just it's different, man. But there's a funny related story

80
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 1: to that that I want to relay when we get

81
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 1: Kyle on, So I'll get to that then we talk

82
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 1: about that. Though you're new your new little routine for

83
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 1: watching game. It's it's different. I don't got a new routine.

84
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna tell you, I'm not a huge fan

85
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:29,599
Speaker 1: of it because I'm used to seeing the whole field

86
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 1: and watching what I want to watch, not what the

87
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,600
Speaker 1: TV is telling me to watch, and that it just

88
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 1: bugs me a little bit. So I guess I've been

89
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 1: spoiled the better part of the last twenty seven years.

90
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 1: But in any event, we will hear from coach McDermott,

91
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:45,480
Speaker 1: We'll hear from offensive coordinator Brian Dable, We'll hear from

92
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier as they kind of put a

93
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 1: put a bow on last week's game and look forward.

94
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:55,160
Speaker 1: And we know there are some injury concerns for the

95
00:04:55,200 --> 00:05:00,120
Speaker 1: Bills because Levi Wallace and Matt Milano both described is

96
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,920
Speaker 1: week to week with their ankle and pectoral injuries, respectively,

97
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:07,039
Speaker 1: So that certainly puts their status for this weekend's game

98
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 1: in doubt. And it looks as though, at least right now,

99
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:12,719
Speaker 1: that there is going to be a game on Sunday,

100
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 1: because for the second straight day, the Tennessee Titans had

101
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 1: no positive COVID tests and that was the benchmark two

102
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:24,920
Speaker 1: straight days with zero positives, and it looks as though

103
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 1: they'll be able to get back into their team facility

104
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:32,600
Speaker 1: tomorrow to begin practicing. Now, they will be operating under

105
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 1: the Enhanced protocols Steve, which means all of those players

106
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 1: on the practice field will have to be wearing gloves

107
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 1: except for the quarterback Ryan Tannehill's right hand. They will

108
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 1: also have to wear masks in the practice setting. So

109
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,599
Speaker 1: they will be operating under the enhanced protocol similar to

110
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:54,039
Speaker 1: the way Minnesota did last week. And fortunately for Minnesota,

111
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 1: they were no more worse for wear because they never

112
00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:00,160
Speaker 1: turned up a positive despite playing the Titans in Week three.

113
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 1: But the Titans Week four game got scrapped. They've essentially

114
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 1: had a bye week. You know, they were watching Bill's

115
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 1: Raiders last week to get ready for this game, and

116
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 1: so they come in with two weeks of preparation time. Now,

117
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:14,920
Speaker 1: I don't know if we can call that an advantage

118
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:17,279
Speaker 1: because they haven't been on the practice field in ten days.

119
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:21,480
Speaker 1: I'll tell you this though, and I've observed this from

120
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:26,679
Speaker 1: my days in high school, college pros, as a player

121
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 1: and obviously as a broadcaster. And I'll give you an example.

122
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 1: Remember Snowvember four years ago, five years ago. I remember

123
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 1: it well, four unnecessary days in Detroit. So the Bills

124
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:43,280
Speaker 1: we have the snowstorm here in November. Rex Ryan's the

125
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 1: head coach. Nobody the Bills can't practice, they can't get

126
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 1: into the stadium. They know everything's shutdown. We're all shut down.

127
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 1: We're hibernating. And the game here in Buffalo against the

128
00:06:56,480 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 1: New York Football Jets was moved to Monday night, much

129
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:06,480
Speaker 1: like all these COVID games you're doing. But they did.

130
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 1: Bills couldn't practice all week, right, No, they got to

131
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 1: practice in Detroit. Um, okay, flew to Detroit practice what

132
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 1: they want to say, Thursday, Friday, Saturday. I think that's right. Anyway,

133
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 1: they did get to practice, So there you go. So

134
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 1: the game goes to Detroit. Everything nothing is right, nothing's right,

135
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 1: nothing's normal. They're doing it right. So the game is

136
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 1: in Detroit on Monday night, playing the Jets, playing the Jets,

137
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 1: and nothing's been right there. Their schedule's been messed up,

138
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 1: and they come out and they wax the Jets. The Jets,

139
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 1: I mean, they crush them. It was not closed from

140
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 1: start to finish. That's the kind of attitude that you're

141
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 1: gonna get from the Tennessee Titans this week. They're gonna

142
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 1: come out and they're gonna play free and easy. They're

143
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 1: gonna have nothing them to worry about. They're gonna feel good,

144
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 1: they're gonna let it go. They're gonna feel healthy, fresh, rested,

145
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 1: and they'll have every excuse in the book to lose

146
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 1: the game, which means they don't care if they you know,

147
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 1: they don't have to make excuses when they lose. They don't.

148
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 1: They should get out played, they should be out game planned.

149
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 1: So they're gonna come out and say, forget it. If

150
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 1: everybody thinks we're gonna lose, let's just play. Let's just

151
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:32,080
Speaker 1: have some fun. That is a dangerous, dangerous football team.

152
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 1: And the Titans are gonna come out and they're gonna

153
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 1: open it up and they're gonna feel fantastic, and it's

154
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:43,200
Speaker 1: gonna be really, really difficult to go in there and

155
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,640
Speaker 1: beat them this weekend. They're gonna be in a mental

156
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 1: state that is hard to be. Look at the last

157
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 1: few games between these two teams, and the rosters haven't

158
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 1: turned over too terribly much. They've all been close. I mean,

159
00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 1: last year was what fourteen seven. The year before was

160
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 1: a one point game. The year before that was a

161
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 1: one point game because I remember how she could kick

162
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 1: in a game winner here in twenty seventeen to win

163
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 1: thirteen twelve. I mean, they've been nip and tuck, hard

164
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 1: fought games, and I don't think there's any reason to

165
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 1: think it's not going to be that way again. Now

166
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 1: here's the only change, the dramatic changes. Both teams are

167
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:29,600
Speaker 1: considerably better at quarterback. Ryan Tannehill has who I know

168
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 1: you're not a huge fan of, and neither am I hardnesship. Listen,

169
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 1: you can't argue he's doing Yeah, he's carried last year

170
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 1: into this season. I feel about Ryan Tannehill the way

171
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 1: Hayters feel about Josh Yeah. Well, I just don't believe it.

172
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 1: We and we saw it for a longer period of

173
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 1: time with Tannehill. But maybe he was working on a decade.

174
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 1: Maybe he's had one half of one good year, right,

175
00:09:57,640 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 1: but he has. But it's now it's this half, you know,

176
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 1: Yeah and yeah, and it's this Sunday, right, and so

177
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:08,720
Speaker 1: that's gonna be an interesting battle there. I think the

178
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 1: team that's gonna win this game is the team that

179
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 1: plays a little bit better defense, not lights out defense,

180
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 1: just a little bit better than the guys on the

181
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:18,840
Speaker 1: other side. Because to this point, and granted it's only

182
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 1: three games for Tennessee, not four like it is for Buffalo,

183
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 1: the Titans haven't been able to stop anybody defensively, and

184
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 1: they haven't played a juggernaut of a schedule. They played

185
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 1: the Giants, was it, I'll get it. No, they well,

186
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 1: they played Denver, in Denver, Jacksonville, and at Minnesota. Right now,

187
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 1: Minnesota is probably the most difficult offense they have faced.

188
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:48,199
Speaker 1: They gave up thirty points to Jacksonville, and they gave

189
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:51,200
Speaker 1: up thirty to Minnesota in each of their last two games,

190
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 1: and they are having trouble right now. They've given up

191
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:58,680
Speaker 1: one hundred and sixty six yards on the ground. Forget

192
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:02,080
Speaker 1: about what their rushing offense does. They can't stop anybody none.

193
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:03,959
Speaker 1: None of those teams had a win at the time

194
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans played him. Denver didn't because it was

195
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:09,200
Speaker 1: the first game of the season. Jacksonville did they win

196
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 1: opening Day? No, And Minnesota was open four. I mean,

197
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 1: nobody's won a game that they've played. Well. Minnesota beat

198
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 1: Houston this week, though, which knocked Bill O'Brien out of

199
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 1: a job. So so there, that's what you've got. And

200
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:29,600
Speaker 1: the Titans are giving up one hundred and sixty six

201
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:32,600
Speaker 1: rushing yards a game. Steve, Yeah, they beat they beat

202
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 1: Indianapolis on opening Day. So the Jackson sixty six. That

203
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 1: is a fat, fat number. And I know it's only

204
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 1: a three game sample, but I don't care. That's fat.

205
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 1: That is a fat number. Their opponents are averaging five

206
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 1: point eight yards to carry Steve. Devin Singletary's drooling and

207
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 1: it's only Tuesday. Zack Moss is trying to frothing at

208
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:57,320
Speaker 1: the mouth, trying to get back on the field. Yeah,

209
00:11:57,320 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 1: I get it, Come on, toe and I've heard that.

210
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:01,439
Speaker 1: I've heard that before, though. I mean, you get these

211
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 1: teams that you know all, you can't think Bills fans

212
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:07,320
Speaker 1: would be wrong to think that this Tennessee team is

213
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:09,600
Speaker 1: gonna be all right. They're they're gonna they're gonna be

214
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:13,440
Speaker 1: meet for the first time in ten days on Wednesday tomorrow.

215
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 1: If everything goes smoothly, they'll practice tomorrow like a normal practice.

216
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 1: The coaching staff will be putting in a game plan

217
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 1: tonight today and tonight, and then they'll present it to

218
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:25,319
Speaker 1: the players tomorrow. That's a normal week. So though Tennessee

219
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:27,600
Speaker 1: Titans are gonna have a normal week after coming off

220
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:30,959
Speaker 1: a bye week where they were disallowed to do anything.

221
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:33,560
Speaker 1: I mean, they were locked out. They could sleep for

222
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 1: seven days if they wanted to, and some of these

223
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 1: guys probably felt like they needed to. They're gonna They're

224
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 1: gonna have a sensational week of practice, They're gonna have

225
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 1: a sensational week of preparation, and the Bills are gonna

226
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 1: be going up against probably as fresh and as rested

227
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 1: a team as you can get, plus a team that

228
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 1: is highly motivated to stay in the race. This is

229
00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 1: this is a rough game. This has a lot of

230
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 1: This has a lot of dark clouds. It's a physical

231
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:03,719
Speaker 1: kind of game because that's what these games have been

232
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 1: between the Titans and the Bills each of the last

233
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 1: two or three years. It's just rock 'em sock'em football.

234
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 1: Now the complexion of what the Bills do offensively has

235
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:16,600
Speaker 1: changed dramatically. How does that change this matchup? Well, if

236
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:19,960
Speaker 1: if the Titans can't get pass pressure on Josh Allen,

237
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 1: it changes it dramatically because there's there's a pretty good

238
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:25,680
Speaker 1: chance that the Bills are going to run the score

239
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:29,640
Speaker 1: up again because once again the Titans, just like every

240
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 1: other NFL team that's run into the Bills, they don't

241
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 1: really look good with their third and fourth corners. They

242
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:39,080
Speaker 1: don't go four deep at corner to counter the Bills

243
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:42,959
Speaker 1: four wide sets. So I just don't see how they're

244
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 1: going to slow them down, especially in light of the

245
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 1: way they've played each of the first three weeks. And

246
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 1: I know their performances the first three weeks doesn't mean

247
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:51,760
Speaker 1: that's going to happen here against the Bills on Sunday,

248
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 1: but it's a precursor to what could happen, and they

249
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:59,080
Speaker 1: have been able to stop anybody right there. You know,

250
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 1: it's worth the point where you kind of no question

251
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:04,360
Speaker 1: you expect this team to score some points. The Bills,

252
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 1: you expect him to put up some points. And I

253
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 1: think that the trend I was gonna say this a

254
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 1: little earlier and it got away from me, but I

255
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:14,640
Speaker 1: think the trend in the NFL now, Brownie is is

256
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 1: an occasional fourth down stop because so many more teams

257
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 1: are going for it on fourth you know, you get

258
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:21,760
Speaker 1: the occasional fourth down stop and then you win the

259
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 1: turnover battle like the Bills did this last week against

260
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 1: the Raiders. Raiders were scoring although field goals most of

261
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 1: the time is set of touchdowns. What it came down

262
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 1: to is getting a couple of turnovers and getting a

263
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:39,680
Speaker 1: fourth downstop in the second half and you win. Yeah,

264
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 1: and that's that's the way defense is gonna be played. Now.

265
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 1: You're gonna have to make some plays. You don't have

266
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:46,560
Speaker 1: to come out and dominate the run game. You don't

267
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 1: have to come out and sack him nine times. You

268
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 1: just got to do it at the moment when your

269
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:54,440
Speaker 1: team needs it. You got to get a turnover and

270
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:58,000
Speaker 1: give your guys an extra possession, and then your offense

271
00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 1: has to take advantage of it. And then in the

272
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 1: second half, when you get into that fourth quarter into

273
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:04,960
Speaker 1: you know, after that first drive of the fourth quarter

274
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 1: or whatever, you got ten minutes to go in the quarter,

275
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 1: you got to start playing the clock as your scoreboard

276
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 1: because they're going to be able to get desperate and

277
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 1: start slinging it around. Yeah, and you know the teams

278
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 1: are scoring points. We're also going to have to see

279
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:21,680
Speaker 1: who comes off the covid IR list for the Titans

280
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 1: before Sunday's games. Right, Because you've got some names there.

281
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:28,160
Speaker 1: I mean you've got Adam Humphreys, their slot receiver, Jeffrey Simmons,

282
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:31,880
Speaker 1: their best defensive tackle, to Quan Jones, another defensive tackle

283
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:34,920
Speaker 1: who starts for them, Christian Fulton, their number two corner.

284
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:38,440
Speaker 1: I mean, you've got and they're long snapper. I mean

285
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 1: you've got you've got some pretty important players that are

286
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 1: still on the COVID nineteen list. Now I suppose they

287
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 1: have a better sense. What do you need two negatives?

288
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 1: I want to say, you need two negative COVID tests

289
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 1: to begin the process of onboarding back into the practice

290
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:58,400
Speaker 1: setting and all of that. So where those guys are

291
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,400
Speaker 1: in terms of the virus and whether or not they're

292
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:05,520
Speaker 1: still shedding the virus as the doctors say, is going

293
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:09,240
Speaker 1: to be the thing that we've got to keep an

294
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:11,400
Speaker 1: eye on through the course of the week, just otherwise

295
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 1: this team could be severely shorthanded. I mean, right now

296
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 1: they're starting defensive line is Jack Crawford, Matt Dickerson, Isaiah

297
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 1: Mack and Harold Landry. There's only one guy I've heard

298
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:26,360
Speaker 1: of there, Landry the draft choice, right, I mean, go

299
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 1: get them guys, you know what I mean? It's it's

300
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:32,440
Speaker 1: different if if this roster is severely impacted by the

301
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 1: lack of availability due to COVID, Yeah, that they're not

302
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:40,720
Speaker 1: gonna be Um, it's not. They're not going to be

303
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 1: at full strength, even though they've been out for two

304
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 1: They're not going to be at full strength because I

305
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 1: got a ton of guys on the COVID and they

306
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 1: also have guys on on regular injured reserve. And we'll

307
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:52,680
Speaker 1: know more as the week progresses as to who's available

308
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:56,320
Speaker 1: and who's not. But Isaiah Wilson, their rookie tackle, is

309
00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 1: on IR right now. A Doory Jackson, one of their corners,

310
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 1: is out right now on IRE with an injury. So

311
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:06,120
Speaker 1: you know, they've got players that play roles for them

312
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 1: that are on COVID IR and on regular IR, and

313
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:12,240
Speaker 1: whether any of them are coming off this week remains

314
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:15,959
Speaker 1: to be seen. But the Titans, even though they're they

315
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:17,880
Speaker 1: have a good chance of getting back into the facility

316
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:20,440
Speaker 1: tomorrow and getting ready for this game on Sunday. There's

317
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:23,240
Speaker 1: still a really good chance that they are tremendously shorthanded

318
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:25,720
Speaker 1: for this matchup right, at least slightly and in certain

319
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:28,359
Speaker 1: crew and in some cases crucial little long snapper is

320
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:31,840
Speaker 1: a problem. Uh yeah, because here's the thing. You've got

321
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:36,679
Speaker 1: to they get here Wednesday, they've got to inacclimate unless

322
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:39,360
Speaker 1: they've got another one on the ross. From what I understand,

323
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 1: they're starting center Ben Jones can long snap, can long snap. Yeah,

324
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:48,120
Speaker 1: and he's he's he's the backup long snapper, so he's

325
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:50,160
Speaker 1: done it. Everybody's got a backup long snap well, right,

326
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:52,200
Speaker 1: But he's a center by trade, So I don't I

327
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 1: don't think it's too far in a thing. I get it,

328
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 1: I get it, but you know, think about it, though,

329
00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:58,399
Speaker 1: if they needed a specialized long snapper, what is it

330
00:17:58,440 --> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 1: going to take to get one in the building. I

331
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:01,520
Speaker 1: don't think they could do it right, and they open

332
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:03,600
Speaker 1: up Down's day. You gotta get you know, you guys

333
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 1: gotta get in tested physical well. And on top of that,

334
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:09,960
Speaker 1: they have enhanced protocols now that the League handed down

335
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:13,320
Speaker 1: in light of this outbreak, where the number of tryouts

336
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 1: you can have is reduced, the number of free agent

337
00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:20,480
Speaker 1: visits you can have is reduced, So the onboarding process

338
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:23,360
Speaker 1: just became all the all the more difficult with these

339
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:26,560
Speaker 1: enhanced protocols as well, And you understand why they are there.

340
00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:29,119
Speaker 1: But if you're a team that's got ten guys on

341
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:32,280
Speaker 1: the COVID list, you're like, whoa, we're gonna need help here.

342
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:34,440
Speaker 1: And now you're telling me I can only have three

343
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 1: guys in this week to fill the holes of ten people.

344
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:39,640
Speaker 1: You gotta be kidding me so well you should have.

345
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:41,879
Speaker 1: I mean, you got a larger practice squad and that's

346
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:43,760
Speaker 1: why to be able to fill those But you're right,

347
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:50,360
Speaker 1: you're you're depleted, and but still you can. You're still

348
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:51,879
Speaker 1: gonna be able to or have to put You know,

349
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:53,840
Speaker 1: you get fifty three guys on game day, you're gonna

350
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:56,080
Speaker 1: be able to choose from. You're gonna deactivate some guys

351
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:58,080
Speaker 1: and all that. You're gonna have enough guys. The question

352
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:00,639
Speaker 1: is how how much can you trust them gularly in spots?

353
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:04,160
Speaker 1: I mean, I like long snapper or you know, you're

354
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:07,879
Speaker 1: whoever these guys are, whoever whatever positions that these guys

355
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:11,160
Speaker 1: are or out of the defensive line and all that stuff.

356
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:13,040
Speaker 1: You're gonna have enough guys, but can they can you

357
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:17,120
Speaker 1: get them to play well enough? I'm still I'm still

358
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:18,560
Speaker 1: a mind though that this is going to be a

359
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 1: very fast and loose and and very confident group and

360
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:24,520
Speaker 1: having that they're gonna be having a lot of fun

361
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:26,440
Speaker 1: out there. I think this Titans team is because they're

362
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 1: gonna have a lot on their plate and to get

363
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:30,960
Speaker 1: out on the field to play is going to be

364
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:33,480
Speaker 1: very liberating for them. I think they're gonna feel really

365
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:35,000
Speaker 1: good to get out on the field and play. On

366
00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:37,440
Speaker 1: the tweet sheet today and at eight oh three five

367
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 1: fifty fifty two five fifty, we're asking you which Bills

368
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 1: rookie do you want to see more of going forward?

369
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 1: Here we're about four games in, We've got a small

370
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:51,280
Speaker 1: sample size to chew on, and I think it's pretty

371
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 1: obvious that the top three draft choices are going to

372
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:58,720
Speaker 1: be contributors this season for the Bills. I suppose it's

373
00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:01,840
Speaker 1: possible that some of those later picks, you know, Isaiah Hodgins,

374
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:05,320
Speaker 1: maybe if he comes off ir who knows, maybe even

375
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:08,720
Speaker 1: Dane Jackson who's on the practice squad, could factor in

376
00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:11,240
Speaker 1: at some point in the second half of the season.

377
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:15,719
Speaker 1: But which Bill's rookie do you want to see more from?

378
00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:18,359
Speaker 1: So feel free to weigh in on the tweet sheet

379
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:19,919
Speaker 1: at one Bills Live or give us a call. Eight

380
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:24,000
Speaker 1: oh three oh five fifty and we begin with the

381
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 1: tweet sheet, which is always is brought to you by

382
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:29,320
Speaker 1: Corrigan Moving Systems, the official equipment moving company the Buffalo Bills.

383
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:32,560
Speaker 1: And Jeremy starts us off by saying, Hey, let's keep

384
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:35,239
Speaker 1: Gabriel Davis on the field. It's working great and there

385
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:38,439
Speaker 1: seems to be a great chemistry there on offense. I

386
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 1: would have said more of aj epinessa, but with the

387
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:45,280
Speaker 1: Bill's rotation on the defensive line, I think it'll be

388
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:48,440
Speaker 1: a while before he gets to shine. We've seen flashes

389
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:52,040
Speaker 1: from Aj though he's got the sack. He ran golf

390
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:55,639
Speaker 1: down against the Rams two weeks ago. I think the

391
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:59,879
Speaker 1: fact that he's getting a full rotation says something about it.

392
00:20:59,880 --> 00:21:03,199
Speaker 1: I think a guy that that. And I said this

393
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:06,879
Speaker 1: earlier in the week. Bam Johnson showed up for me

394
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:09,520
Speaker 1: in the race. Did He showed up big? And I

395
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:11,360
Speaker 1: love the way he looks. I like, I've always liked

396
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:15,679
Speaker 1: the way he plays. He's and he's long and their

397
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:18,680
Speaker 1: hands to him right. Yeah, it seems to me Bam

398
00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:24,400
Speaker 1: Johnson seems like the the pass rush specialist, if you

399
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:26,159
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. I know he's young, but

400
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:28,760
Speaker 1: he seems really good at the pastors. I haven't. I

401
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:30,280
Speaker 1: can't say that I've watched him that much in the

402
00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:32,440
Speaker 1: run game to see how he plays and sets the edge.

403
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:34,080
Speaker 1: But man, oh man, when he goes, when he gets

404
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:36,359
Speaker 1: going towards the quarterback, I love watching him play a

405
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:38,120
Speaker 1: j I like as well, and I'd love to see

406
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:41,480
Speaker 1: more of him, you know. I'm like I said too,

407
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:46,520
Speaker 1: it's a tough league in the current environment to have guys.

408
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:48,680
Speaker 1: Even if you got like a Khalil Mack or even

409
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:53,280
Speaker 1: a Bruce Smith or somebody, nobody can get home. Yeah,

410
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:55,320
Speaker 1: nobody can get home these quarterbacks. And the way their

411
00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:58,399
Speaker 1: offenses are running the NFL now balls out, yeah, or

412
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:01,639
Speaker 1: they're they're putting their quarter backs on the move, you know,

413
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:05,360
Speaker 1: moving pocket. They'll roll them away from the best pass rusher.

414
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:07,560
Speaker 1: I know the Cowboys were doing that last week against

415
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:10,160
Speaker 1: the Browns. They were rolling Dack away from Miles Garrett.

416
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:14,040
Speaker 1: Yeah Miles still has he still had a sack. Yeah.

417
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:17,160
Speaker 1: But but yeah, all right, So I'm I know, aj

418
00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 1: Even if aj Epeneza turns out to be every everything

419
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:23,000
Speaker 1: he ever hoped and dreamed he would be, he's in

420
00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:30,879
Speaker 1: a position that has been made quantifiably more difficult because

421
00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:33,280
Speaker 1: of the philosophy that the NFL offenses have gone and

422
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:36,560
Speaker 1: taken in that the ball just doesn't stay in the pocket.

423
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:39,640
Speaker 1: It's either running around in the backfield, going rolling out

424
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:43,440
Speaker 1: or bootlegging out, or it's gone before you can get there.

425
00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 1: So I'm I get it. I just think NFL defenses

426
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 1: have maybe maybe and maybe I kind of doubt this

427
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:54,679
Speaker 1: is totally true, but I think the defenses have the

428
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:56,840
Speaker 1: pendulum swung a little bit back towards the offense with

429
00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:59,520
Speaker 1: tho hilosophies and stuff, and I think defenses are gonna

430
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:02,399
Speaker 1: have to all of another step to catch back up,

431
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:05,240
Speaker 1: and you can bet that they will. Yeah, well, it's cyclical.

432
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:08,280
Speaker 1: This league has been cyclical for decades. But what about

433
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:10,439
Speaker 1: Davis On the other side, There does seem to be

434
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:14,159
Speaker 1: a chemistry. I would agree with that. A lot of

435
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:16,680
Speaker 1: his teammates have said that he is wise beyond his years.

436
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:21,639
Speaker 1: He is not your typical rookie looks thirty five, super smart, right, cool,

437
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:24,160
Speaker 1: calm and collected. I mean, just listening to him in interviews,

438
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:31,840
Speaker 1: there's just this maturity about him, dedication to task, wanting

439
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:34,680
Speaker 1: to absorb as much as he can, as fast as

440
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 1: he can, so he can be the best player he

441
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:41,120
Speaker 1: can for this team. You don't often get that from

442
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 1: twenty two and twenty three year olds, but he's got

443
00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:48,199
Speaker 1: it in spades, and so there is already you can

444
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:50,960
Speaker 1: you can see it on the field. There is already

445
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:54,960
Speaker 1: a trust factor between him and Josh Allen that you

446
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:59,919
Speaker 1: don't often see with rookie receivers. You talk about Aaron Roy,

447
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:06,399
Speaker 1: you talk about Drew Brees, Tom Brady. You got to

448
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:08,359
Speaker 1: earn your stripes with those guys if you want them

449
00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:11,360
Speaker 1: to throw to you. And to see the way that

450
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:15,880
Speaker 1: Josh is completely free and easy with throwing the ball

451
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:19,760
Speaker 1: to whoever is open, including a rookie like Davis, I

452
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:23,280
Speaker 1: just think as an indication that he implicitly trusts that kid,

453
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:28,240
Speaker 1: which is saying something knowing that it's Gabriel Davis's responsibility

454
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 1: to know all of the wide receiver positions. And we

455
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:33,800
Speaker 1: heard the story about the Rams game. They're in the

456
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:37,440
Speaker 1: huddle before that fourth down play, Gabriel Davis has an

457
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:40,600
Speaker 1: initial assignment, they change it before they break the huddle,

458
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:43,040
Speaker 1: line him up on the left side in the slot,

459
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:45,400
Speaker 1: which was not where he was supposed to be when

460
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:48,840
Speaker 1: they went out on the field. Changed his route assignment

461
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:53,960
Speaker 1: and he draws the flag. They're not too many twenty two,

462
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:55,679
Speaker 1: twenty three year olds. You're hand in that too in

463
00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:59,119
Speaker 1: crunch time like that, right, and you're looking at the

464
00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:02,040
Speaker 1: third round draft pick, fourth fourth round draft pick this

465
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:06,240
Speaker 1: year and everything about that. With where we are a

466
00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:08,880
Speaker 1: month into the regular season, he's a he's a home run.

467
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:12,119
Speaker 1: It's it's a home run. He's as smartest, he's as

468
00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:14,800
Speaker 1: smart as he need to be. He's acclimated to the playbook.

469
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:17,520
Speaker 1: He does everything he's supposed to do. We had Greg

470
00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:21,480
Speaker 1: Greg Cosell on last week talking about Gabe Vis. He said,

471
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:24,600
Speaker 1: listen it, you know how smart he is by watching

472
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:25,919
Speaker 1: him on film and you think, well, how do you

473
00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:28,560
Speaker 1: know that, Well, they've lined him up outside of the

474
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:30,399
Speaker 1: trip set. They've lined him up in the middle of

475
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:34,680
Speaker 1: the trip set, inside the trip in the slot by himself.

476
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:38,480
Speaker 1: They've lined him up absolutely every conceivable spot and he's

477
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:43,080
Speaker 1: caught balls. And that's that's hard to do as a

478
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:45,359
Speaker 1: first year player in the NFL and to have to

479
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:48,400
Speaker 1: have the coaching staff see it and trust it. He's

480
00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:50,399
Speaker 1: proven it time and time and time again on the

481
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:54,240
Speaker 1: practice field and as the fourth receiver in those ten

482
00:25:54,320 --> 00:26:00,280
Speaker 1: personnel sets. He's better than most of what opponents put

483
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:02,480
Speaker 1: on the field, but their fourth corner, I mean, and

484
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:04,760
Speaker 1: he's a rookie and a better I'll go a step further.

485
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:08,359
Speaker 1: He's the reason they're running four wides. I mean that

486
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:11,760
Speaker 1: Andre Roberts, they had, Duke Williams, they had all these guys,

487
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:13,960
Speaker 1: mckinshould have his his, Zay McKinsey. They weren't running that with

488
00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:17,359
Speaker 1: any of those guys last year. He's he's the reason

489
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:21,560
Speaker 1: they run four wide and they're also four and oz

490
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:26,600
Speaker 1: and they run double the snaps of four wide than

491
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:29,240
Speaker 1: the other thirty one teams in the NFL run about twenty.

492
00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:32,560
Speaker 1: They're running ten personnel about twenty two percent of the time.

493
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:36,800
Speaker 1: It's their second most popular personnel grouping after eleven, which

494
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:39,440
Speaker 1: if you have Dawson Knock Dawson Knox on the field,

495
00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:42,600
Speaker 1: it's kind of like big ten personnel, you know, because

496
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:44,400
Speaker 1: he's he's not a tight end most of the time.

497
00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:47,240
Speaker 1: Although he does some blocking here and there, more often

498
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:49,080
Speaker 1: than not, he's detached and he's running around like a

499
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 1: receiver anyway. He actually yeah, back to the tweet sheet

500
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:56,000
Speaker 1: from Bills and Mets fan our kicker needs to step

501
00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:58,760
Speaker 1: up and believe in himself. He looks scared and makes

502
00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:02,080
Speaker 1: the same mistakes on three different kicks wide right, and

503
00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:05,720
Speaker 1: I'm sure the punter is has done little to help him.

504
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:09,280
Speaker 1: A shaky combination for a potential championship team. That's from

505
00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:12,840
Speaker 1: Bills and Mets fan Wow coming strong today, Yeah, I'll

506
00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:15,200
Speaker 1: take I get it. But I also know this too.

507
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:20,879
Speaker 1: He's he's missed two field goals and an extra point.

508
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:24,800
Speaker 1: Two field goals being in his first game as a

509
00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:27,040
Speaker 1: as a pro he was two for four and then

510
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:29,320
Speaker 1: he missed an extra point this last week. I think

511
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:32,800
Speaker 1: that's I think I've got that right. And I see,

512
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:37,840
Speaker 1: I hear what you're saying, and I agree a little

513
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:39,880
Speaker 1: bit with the hold last week on the extra point.

514
00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:42,440
Speaker 1: The laces could not have been worse. Yeah, they were

515
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:44,920
Speaker 1: turned in. They were at five o'clock. If the goal

516
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,800
Speaker 1: posts or twelve o'clock. The laces were five o'clock and

517
00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:53,240
Speaker 1: they should be twelve o'clock. So, but it's an extra point.

518
00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:57,520
Speaker 1: You gotta hit it. And you're right. He does tend

519
00:27:57,600 --> 00:28:01,119
Speaker 1: to push it to the right. He kicks very open hipped,

520
00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:04,480
Speaker 1: like when his follow through. If you look at his

521
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:08,040
Speaker 1: right hip, it's wide open, like he doesn't close it

522
00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:12,960
Speaker 1: at all. And maybe that's because his kicks draw instead

523
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:15,600
Speaker 1: of fade, but they haven't been doing that to this point.

524
00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:18,840
Speaker 1: And I would I'm not a professional kicker, but I

525
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:22,560
Speaker 1: know something about kicking from a soccer background, and wherever

526
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:25,880
Speaker 1: your hips are pointing, that's where the ball's going. And

527
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:29,919
Speaker 1: on that missed extra point, his hips are, they're open.

528
00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:32,520
Speaker 1: His right hip is way open, and that that's when

529
00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:35,000
Speaker 1: the ball is gonna fade on you like like it did.

530
00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:40,600
Speaker 1: And that's where he's missed more than he hasn't hooked anything, right, No, No,

531
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:43,640
Speaker 1: he hasn't hooked a kick anything. I'll say that you're

532
00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 1: probably right, but also I mean, yeah, I don't know.

533
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:53,200
Speaker 1: I just know this. He knows what he's doing and

534
00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:56,160
Speaker 1: he's probably all over his mechanics as well. And probably

535
00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:58,200
Speaker 1: part of the mechanics you're talking about have to do

536
00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:02,240
Speaker 1: with how strong his leg is as well. So and

537
00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:04,360
Speaker 1: I'll say this too, I wouldn't mess with his mechanics

538
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:06,480
Speaker 1: all that much except for the technique of getting it

539
00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:08,800
Speaker 1: to move about a half a degree or to full

540
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:12,000
Speaker 1: degree to the left. And I think for me and

541
00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:14,880
Speaker 1: you tell me you're the soccer guy. It has more

542
00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:16,400
Speaker 1: to do with his plant foot than it does with

543
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:19,280
Speaker 1: his swingler. Yeah, that's true, because again, it's where your

544
00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:21,920
Speaker 1: hips are pointing. So if your plant foot is not

545
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:24,200
Speaker 1: at twelve o'clock next to the ball, if it's at

546
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:27,520
Speaker 1: one o'clock, it's going to the right or wherever it's

547
00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:29,920
Speaker 1: supposed to be when he kicks it straight. Yeah, you

548
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:31,720
Speaker 1: want it. You want your plant foot point and where

549
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:33,480
Speaker 1: you want to kick the football right. So that's and

550
00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:35,160
Speaker 1: it's got to be at the angle you're coming in

551
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:38,160
Speaker 1: at as well. So I'm not too I get it,

552
00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:41,000
Speaker 1: and I hear what everybody's saying about Tyler Bass, and

553
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:43,120
Speaker 1: I agree, the guy's got to get make the kicks.

554
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:49,880
Speaker 1: I do know this too. Every player, and particularly kickers,

555
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:52,560
Speaker 1: have got an acclamation process. I've seen some Hall of

556
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:56,840
Speaker 1: Fame kickers go through a real rough patches in the

557
00:29:57,080 --> 00:29:59,800
Speaker 1: particularly in the early part of their career. Yeah, you'd

558
00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:03,840
Speaker 1: look at Sebastian Janikowski. He was horrible for his rookie

559
00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:07,800
Speaker 1: season and then of course he turns into a Hall

560
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:09,800
Speaker 1: of Famed caliber kicker. And that's why a lot of

561
00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:13,680
Speaker 1: the time, the place where kickers get their first opportunity

562
00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:17,040
Speaker 1: isn't always where they spend the majority of their career.

563
00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:19,160
Speaker 1: They usually have to get cut once or twice, and

564
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:22,160
Speaker 1: then they find their groove. They find their groove and

565
00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:24,080
Speaker 1: off they go. They play somewhere for ten years. You

566
00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:26,800
Speaker 1: gotta hang in there with him. Yeah, I think he

567
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:30,120
Speaker 1: got what's the alternative you shot? You know the alternatives

568
00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:31,480
Speaker 1: what some of these other teams do. You look at

569
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:34,000
Speaker 1: the Chicago Bears. They run six kickers through there. You

570
00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:37,080
Speaker 1: can't do that. You get your guy and you and

571
00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:39,600
Speaker 1: you let him figure it out. Because all the lessons

572
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:43,160
Speaker 1: he's learning while he's spraying it around our lessons he's

573
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:47,440
Speaker 1: gonna give to other teams maybe in your division. If

574
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:50,000
Speaker 1: he's learning lessons kicking it and having problems, that let

575
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:51,680
Speaker 1: him work it out and then at the other end

576
00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:52,959
Speaker 1: of it, you can do it. Now. The Bills have

577
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:54,560
Speaker 1: the luxury of doing that because they're four and ow

578
00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:57,120
Speaker 1: and he hasn't had to kick that fifty eight yard

579
00:30:57,200 --> 00:30:59,760
Speaker 1: game winning kick like Butcker has in Kansas City. You

580
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:03,040
Speaker 1: know they've gotten that, no question. And there may come

581
00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:07,160
Speaker 1: a time when Tyler Bass skanks a kick and cost

582
00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:10,120
Speaker 1: your game, But I'm telling you the lessons you learn

583
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:12,280
Speaker 1: other things like this, or lessons you want him to

584
00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:15,120
Speaker 1: benefit from while he's on your team. Yeah, not somebody.

585
00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:17,080
Speaker 1: Let him learn his lessons here and be better somewhere,

586
00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:19,160
Speaker 1: because just if he's gonna learn that lesson the hard

587
00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:23,520
Speaker 1: way and it's gonna cost you, don't waste it. Let

588
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:25,840
Speaker 1: the lesson come back to benefit you at a later game.

589
00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:27,920
Speaker 1: All right, eight O three five fifty, We have to

590
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:30,760
Speaker 1: take a break. Terry and Attica, Garry and Louisiana hang on.

Speaker 1: five fifty where there is an open line for you,

600
00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:09,680
Speaker 1: asking you today, which Bills rookie do you want to

601
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:12,800
Speaker 1: see more of? We've seen about four of them already

602
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:15,440
Speaker 1: through the course of this season. On the field, and

603
00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:19,520
Speaker 1: that being Gabriel Davis, AJP and s Zach Moss, Tyler Bass,

604
00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:22,160
Speaker 1: who all looked like they're going to be contributors this season.

605
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:24,840
Speaker 1: And who knows, maybe there's some others that that surface

606
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:27,920
Speaker 1: later on in the year, like Isaiah Hodgins who's still

607
00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:31,840
Speaker 1: on IR right now, and Dane Jackson's on the practice squad.

608
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:34,120
Speaker 1: So we go to the phones at eight o three,

609
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:39,640
Speaker 1: five fifty and we lead off today with Terry and Attica. Terry,

610
00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:41,440
Speaker 1: thanks for joining us. What do you have for us? Sir?

611
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:45,680
Speaker 1: All right, this isn't about the tweet, It's about something else. Okay,

612
00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:49,680
Speaker 1: I'm so sick and tired. Turn on ever the Sports channel,

613
00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:53,120
Speaker 1: and all you hear is Deak Prescott, Deak Prescott debt.

614
00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:56,680
Speaker 1: I see where Josh Allen is the second passing yards?

615
00:32:57,520 --> 00:33:01,360
Speaker 1: You take away half of deck Prescott's yard. I call

616
00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:04,520
Speaker 1: him garbage yards because they're because of behind her so

617
00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:07,360
Speaker 1: many points. Yeah, the teams are letting a throw. What

618
00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:10,120
Speaker 1: do you think about that, Steve Well, there's no question

619
00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:12,200
Speaker 1: that the Cowboys have been in a hole and they've

620
00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:14,160
Speaker 1: they're throwing it all over the yard, and yeah, Dak

621
00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:18,640
Speaker 1: Prescott is getting some garbage yards sometimes, yes, no question,

622
00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:20,960
Speaker 1: but you know what, they still count. Yeah, and you can't.

623
00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:23,120
Speaker 1: I don't think you can blame Dak first, not the

624
00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:26,280
Speaker 1: defense that can't stop anybody. Right, it's not Dak's fault either.

625
00:33:26,320 --> 00:33:28,360
Speaker 1: I mean, he's just playing that. He's trying to keep

626
00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:31,880
Speaker 1: his team in the in the game, and to his credit,

627
00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:34,280
Speaker 1: he's doing it. They just can't get over the hump

628
00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:36,760
Speaker 1: and win. Um. I think the Cowboys are gonna be

629
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:38,640
Speaker 1: a much better football team by the end of the season.

630
00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:40,720
Speaker 1: I don't you know. They're not gonna be high in

631
00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:42,400
Speaker 1: the draft. I think they're gonna come back. I think

632
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:45,280
Speaker 1: they've got a change a lousy division in a horrible division.

633
00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:47,000
Speaker 1: I think they're better than the Eagles, and I think

634
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:49,320
Speaker 1: they're gonna beat I think they're gonna win that division.

635
00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:52,440
Speaker 1: And I maybe that ain't eight record, but yeah, here's

636
00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:54,800
Speaker 1: the thing, and I here's what my advice to everybody

637
00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:56,640
Speaker 1: and all of us sitting here in the on the

638
00:33:57,240 --> 00:34:01,520
Speaker 1: Josh Allen bandwagon with you know, on a in a

639
00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:06,240
Speaker 1: parade with nobody watching. Uh right, so we're all we're

640
00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:10,400
Speaker 1: in a band nobody We're down to the back. Bandwagon

641
00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:12,799
Speaker 1: is going down the back alley and nobody's there. The

642
00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:16,200
Speaker 1: crowd for the parade is socially distant exactly because there

643
00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:19,000
Speaker 1: aren't that many. Right. So here's what, here's my advice

644
00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:23,640
Speaker 1: to all of us on that. Just fine, just relax.

645
00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:27,840
Speaker 1: When it's too early in the season for anybody to

646
00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:30,360
Speaker 1: really believe in anybody other than their own team and

647
00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:32,400
Speaker 1: where their own at. Everybody's still on this, even the

648
00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:38,160
Speaker 1: even the Eagles, Cowboys, red Skins, and and Giants, even

649
00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:40,560
Speaker 1: those fan bases are still saying, all right, well, you know,

650
00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:42,239
Speaker 1: if we do some stuff, we'll get it together and

651
00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:44,440
Speaker 1: we can still win this. You know, they're there. Everybody's

652
00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:46,520
Speaker 1: too much about their own team right now. It's still

653
00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:49,640
Speaker 1: too early in the season when they start. It's starting

654
00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:51,560
Speaker 1: to come now, you'll see it. You're seeing it on

655
00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:54,640
Speaker 1: on programs and all of that. The Bills just are

656
00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:58,160
Speaker 1: getting elevated and more consistently they're stacking wins and more

657
00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:01,879
Speaker 1: consistently people are starting to have to say, well, they're

658
00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:03,680
Speaker 1: four and oh and wow, yeah, okay, I see him

659
00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:06,120
Speaker 1: all right now, I'll put him in here. It's getting

660
00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:09,240
Speaker 1: like that. It's gonna take a while for anybody to believe.

661
00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:11,920
Speaker 1: And while you know Bill's fans, I believe for a while,

662
00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:16,160
Speaker 1: give it a chance. Through the first half, first ten

663
00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:19,520
Speaker 1: games of the season. Dallas has always been a polarizing team. Yeah,

664
00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:21,640
Speaker 1: so they you know, they stubbed their toe, they have

665
00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:25,480
Speaker 1: a hangnail. It's national news. So when a guy throws

666
00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:28,200
Speaker 1: for nine hundred and seventy five yards in two games,

667
00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:30,600
Speaker 1: it's a big deal. It's it's kind of gonna get

668
00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:34,280
Speaker 1: some particularly especially when it's the quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys.

669
00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:38,080
Speaker 1: And when you're talking media attention. I mean, the NFC

670
00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:43,200
Speaker 1: East is the prime time big market, all big markets,

671
00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:45,239
Speaker 1: you know, and that's the way it's gonna be. Um,

672
00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:47,360
Speaker 1: he just kind of gotta live with it, and we

673
00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:49,920
Speaker 1: don't have to like it, and we can know better.

674
00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:54,399
Speaker 1: But you're not going to convince anybody. Yeah, eight oh three,

675
00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:56,239
Speaker 1: oh five fifty the number two call. Let's go to

676
00:35:56,320 --> 00:36:00,160
Speaker 1: Gary and Louisiana. Gary, what do you have for this guy?

677
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:03,520
Speaker 1: I tell y'all, do good good Gary. Nobody cares about

678
00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:08,239
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. Yeah, keep telling yourself that. Well, they beat

679
00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:10,160
Speaker 1: us two times of Super Bowl. Believe he's an I've

680
00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:12,759
Speaker 1: hated him. Yeah, I believe in Louisiana. So we're right

681
00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:15,920
Speaker 1: next to him. Yeah. Um, the question I have you guys,

682
00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:19,479
Speaker 1: that's giving me a little worried. Here is the game

683
00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:22,080
Speaker 1: against the Raiders here, when they could have ran that

684
00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:24,600
Speaker 1: ball in the fourth quarter, it gave themself a chance

685
00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:27,879
Speaker 1: kick a field goal. I'm wondering if I'm a little

686
00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:31,400
Speaker 1: worried that we're starting to play a little too aggressive

687
00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:34,000
Speaker 1: at times. I mean, we gotta play smarter, you know.

688
00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:36,120
Speaker 1: I'm we're worried that that's gonna buy this if we're

689
00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:39,160
Speaker 1: playing in a really critical time in the game. I

690
00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:43,680
Speaker 1: understand being aggressive, but also I played smart. You know,

691
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:46,279
Speaker 1: he's you're talking about when Josh took that sack on

692
00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:48,200
Speaker 1: third down and took him out of field goal range.

693
00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:51,520
Speaker 1: I'm guessing yeah, and then he had to punt the ball. Yeah. Right,

694
00:36:51,560 --> 00:36:55,080
Speaker 1: here's the thing. That's a mistake by Josh, that's Jerry.

695
00:36:55,120 --> 00:36:58,080
Speaker 1: I think that's a mistake by Josh, not a philosophical mistake.

696
00:36:58,120 --> 00:37:00,200
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you this too. It's it's the I

697
00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:04,120
Speaker 1: think you get all of us have to learn the

698
00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:07,400
Speaker 1: atmosphere of the what the league is in now, of

699
00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:11,160
Speaker 1: what is going on around the league now. More and

700
00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:16,240
Speaker 1: more and more teams who get a big lead. Teams

701
00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:19,560
Speaker 1: who get up by double digit slate teams like that,

702
00:37:20,160 --> 00:37:22,600
Speaker 1: they do play that analytics game. But you'll see also

703
00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:25,880
Speaker 1: they're keeping their foot on the gas because it in

704
00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:29,080
Speaker 1: the current environment, it is so easy to have a

705
00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:31,680
Speaker 1: team run off three quick scores like the Rams did

706
00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:34,960
Speaker 1: against the Bills and get back into it. You've got

707
00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:37,200
Speaker 1: to make sure that you don't turn it off offensively

708
00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:40,560
Speaker 1: or you're gonna get caught not being able to turn

709
00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:42,440
Speaker 1: it back on. And I think there's a little bit

710
00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:47,120
Speaker 1: of that going on. Plus, I think this that's what

711
00:37:47,160 --> 00:37:51,240
Speaker 1: the Bills do. Josh is the guy, the wide receivers

712
00:37:51,239 --> 00:37:53,400
Speaker 1: of the thing, and it is what the Bills are

713
00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:55,440
Speaker 1: and who they are. And if you're gonna keep your

714
00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:58,000
Speaker 1: foot on the gas, those are the guys that are

715
00:37:58,040 --> 00:38:00,680
Speaker 1: gonna they're gonna ask to do it. Now. All that

716
00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:03,000
Speaker 1: being said, it was a huge mistake for Josh to

717
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:05,040
Speaker 1: take that sack. He's got to know better. Otherwise you

718
00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:09,440
Speaker 1: get a field gold, you're up by seventeen, everything's different.

719
00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:12,520
Speaker 1: The other thing, too, though, that I think has to

720
00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:15,880
Speaker 1: be factored in, is the way the defense has performed

721
00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:20,640
Speaker 1: this season. They weren't able to hold onto a lead

722
00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:24,120
Speaker 1: against Miami. They weren't able to hold onto a lead

723
00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:29,560
Speaker 1: against the Rams. And you have to recognize how your

724
00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:33,400
Speaker 1: team is playing in the moment of the game too,

725
00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:37,560
Speaker 1: and that impacts your play calling as well. Now the

726
00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:42,040
Speaker 1: Bill's got that first takeaway from Josh Norman. They go

727
00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:44,280
Speaker 1: down and score off of that, right is my memory

728
00:38:44,360 --> 00:38:46,040
Speaker 1: right on that? They go down and score off the

729
00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:50,000
Speaker 1: Norman turnover, and then they get the fourth down stop

730
00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:52,640
Speaker 1: by Ed Oliver and then that's when the sack happens

731
00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:55,520
Speaker 1: that Josh takes and they have to punt, and then

732
00:38:55,560 --> 00:39:00,759
Speaker 1: fortunately Quentin Jefferson gets the sack fumble recovery. They only

733
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:04,120
Speaker 1: had one stop, one good stop on a takeaway the

734
00:39:04,239 --> 00:39:07,799
Speaker 1: entire game. So I don't know if it's fair to

735
00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:12,640
Speaker 1: criticize trying to be aggressive offensively when your defense has

736
00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:16,279
Speaker 1: had trouble stopping that team. Nobody punted in the first half, right,

737
00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:18,719
Speaker 1: So I think an offensive play caller not only has

738
00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:22,640
Speaker 1: to look at how that opposing defense is playing his offense,

739
00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:26,080
Speaker 1: he also has to take into account is our defense

740
00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:29,759
Speaker 1: stopping anybody? Right now? We got to score more points here? Yeah,

741
00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:31,440
Speaker 1: And I think that has to enter his thinking, right.

742
00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:33,480
Speaker 1: I think, as an offensive coordinator. You're gonna call the

743
00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:34,880
Speaker 1: game the way you want to call it. And I

744
00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:36,880
Speaker 1: think it's up to a guy like Sean mcdernah. Head

745
00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:38,759
Speaker 1: coach has to way in there. The head coach comes

746
00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:45,440
Speaker 1: in and says, listen, we're already in field goal range.

747
00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:49,799
Speaker 1: And also I think for a guy like Josh, if

748
00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:52,160
Speaker 1: you're gonna if it's third and whatever it was twenty

749
00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:54,960
Speaker 1: two or whatever was and they had run the ball twice,

750
00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:58,200
Speaker 1: the head coach got to, Hey, remind Josh not to

751
00:39:58,200 --> 00:40:01,360
Speaker 1: take a sack, you know, I mean, just don't do

752
00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:04,040
Speaker 1: it because John, because particularly when you've seen him for

753
00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:05,359
Speaker 1: three years and you're in the room, but you know

754
00:40:05,440 --> 00:40:09,120
Speaker 1: the guy's gonna go I ain't given up. Well give

755
00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:12,280
Speaker 1: up and don't take the sack. Just throw it away.

756
00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:14,600
Speaker 1: And that's you know, you got to be on top

757
00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:17,320
Speaker 1: of that too. And I think that's a coaching position

758
00:40:17,360 --> 00:40:21,319
Speaker 1: as well. But that was a mistake by Josh that

759
00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:26,080
Speaker 1: that sack. It should have been a throwaway or earlier

760
00:40:26,239 --> 00:40:29,080
Speaker 1: or whatever. But you can't do that there. That's not

761
00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:31,920
Speaker 1: that's not the coaching staff doing that. That's the coaches

762
00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:33,880
Speaker 1: gave him a chance to be successful when the when

763
00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:37,759
Speaker 1: the defense snapped that poor decision. Yeah, that's really all

764
00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:39,239
Speaker 1: it was. It really had nothing to do with play

765
00:40:39,280 --> 00:40:41,800
Speaker 1: calling or, as Steve said, your your philosophy on offense

766
00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:45,319
Speaker 1: based on time and score. Mike and Buffalo David Brockport

767
00:40:45,719 --> 00:40:47,920
Speaker 1: mark on a sell. Hang tight, We'll get to you

768
00:40:48,040 --> 00:40:50,000
Speaker 1: when we return. Got to take a break. Here on

769
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:52,279
Speaker 1: One Bill's Live, presented by Collid to Health. This is

770
00:40:52,280 --> 00:41:10,040
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill's Radio, Steve Tasker Chris Brown, One Bills Live.

771
00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:14,000

00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:17,280
Speaker 1: the Numbers. Play the limited edition New York Series scratch

Speaker 1: off game and you could catch up to one million dollars.

774
00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:24,000
Speaker 1: Must be eighteen years or older to purchase a lottery ticket.

775
00:41:24,040 --> 00:41:28,960
Speaker 1: The Bills have victory Steve in three straight first games

776
00:41:29,480 --> 00:41:32,480
Speaker 1: at a new stadium. Their first time playing in Atlanta's

777
00:41:32,480 --> 00:41:36,400
Speaker 1: Mercedes Benz Stadium back in twenty seventeen, they beat the Falcons,

778
00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:39,759
Speaker 1: upset them. Remember the tradeous white fumble recovery returned for

779
00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:43,720
Speaker 1: a touchdown turnover game they got yea, Minnesota's US Bank Stadium.

780
00:41:43,719 --> 00:41:46,319
Speaker 1: That's the Josh Allen leap over the linebacker game in

781
00:41:46,360 --> 00:41:50,960
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen. Yeah right, and then Las Vegas on Sunday

782
00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:53,960
Speaker 1: their first game in Allegiance Stadium, a thirty to twenty

783
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:56,360
Speaker 1: three victory. It's kind of an interesting stant. What was

784
00:41:56,400 --> 00:41:59,040
Speaker 1: the last time they lost in a brand new stadium

785
00:41:59,080 --> 00:42:01,920
Speaker 1: was in San Francisco. They haven't played in that building yet.

786
00:42:02,080 --> 00:42:04,000
Speaker 1: That'll be another first, so they could extend it to

787
00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:06,919
Speaker 1: four games with a win down there. What they haven't

788
00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:10,440
Speaker 1: played in that build? What about the La Charger Soccer Stadium,

789
00:42:10,760 --> 00:42:14,680
Speaker 1: La Chargers? They lost that game? Right, that's it? Nathan Peterman.

790
00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:18,480
Speaker 1: Game's um. I don't know if that really counts. Is

791
00:42:18,520 --> 00:42:20,920
Speaker 1: that a new stadium? It was kind of a temporary

792
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:24,080
Speaker 1: stadium for the Chargers. Do we count that? Let's not

793
00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:26,440
Speaker 1: count it? What else is twenty ten? I know the

794
00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:31,040
Speaker 1: first time in the Cowboys new stadium they lost there? Um,

795
00:42:31,160 --> 00:42:35,640
Speaker 1: nineteen gotta be a game. Nineteen eighty nine, nineties, early

796
00:42:35,640 --> 00:42:42,080
Speaker 1: two Joe Robbie Stadium eight. It wasn't like, no, I'm

797
00:42:42,120 --> 00:42:45,000
Speaker 1: not eighty eight. I totally believe you, but I gotta

798
00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:47,239
Speaker 1: believe we got another. It's nineteen eighty seven stadium. But

799
00:42:47,239 --> 00:42:49,560
Speaker 1: it was nineteen eighty seven is when it was good?

800
00:42:49,560 --> 00:42:51,080
Speaker 1: How about that nineteen eighties you know why. I know

801
00:42:51,120 --> 00:42:53,359
Speaker 1: that's nineteen eighty seven because your long term memories better

802
00:42:53,360 --> 00:42:54,799
Speaker 1: than your short term or maybe it was an eighty

803
00:42:54,880 --> 00:42:57,920
Speaker 1: eighty eight us because as i'd never played in the

804
00:42:57,920 --> 00:43:00,680
Speaker 1: Orange Bowl. Oh no kidding, I never played in the

805
00:43:00,680 --> 00:43:03,200
Speaker 1: Orange Bowl against the fault against the Dolphins, and I

806
00:43:03,239 --> 00:43:05,920
Speaker 1: got here in eighty six. But it was the second matchup,

807
00:43:05,960 --> 00:43:08,959
Speaker 1: and how about that? And then the next time. Yeah,

808
00:43:08,960 --> 00:43:10,560
Speaker 1: but then the next time might have been we might

809
00:43:10,600 --> 00:43:13,720
Speaker 1: have had two Dolphin games schedule in the first half

810
00:43:13,719 --> 00:43:17,719
Speaker 1: of eighty seven. Strike here, but that was four only

811
00:43:17,719 --> 00:43:20,359
Speaker 1: four games, so yeah, yeah, it's got to be eighty seven. Wow,

812
00:43:21,640 --> 00:43:24,480
Speaker 1: and that's one to grow on. Thanks for bringing that

813
00:43:24,520 --> 00:43:26,200
Speaker 1: to the table, Steve. I think we're all better for

814
00:43:26,239 --> 00:43:31,120
Speaker 1: it back in my day. Uh ninth, all right, so

815
00:43:31,239 --> 00:43:33,840
Speaker 1: let's go back to the phones, because Mike and Buffalo

816
00:43:33,920 --> 00:43:37,560
Speaker 1: is probably rolling his eyes after that conversation. Take my call. Yeah,

817
00:43:37,600 --> 00:43:39,040
Speaker 1: So we go to Mike. Mike, what do you have

818
00:43:39,080 --> 00:43:40,800
Speaker 1: for us? Welcome to the show? Hey, Mike, go ahead,

819
00:43:40,960 --> 00:43:43,360
Speaker 1: Oh thanks for taking my call. First time call of

820
00:43:43,640 --> 00:43:47,600
Speaker 1: Oh thanks, glad you did it. Yeah. It seems like

821
00:43:47,719 --> 00:43:51,160
Speaker 1: the biggest thing the defensive line has been missing is

822
00:43:51,239 --> 00:43:55,560
Speaker 1: that guy who takes on two blockers started a tool, right. So,

823
00:43:56,120 --> 00:44:00,520
Speaker 1: h this past Sunday, I'm watching the game, and late

824
00:44:00,560 --> 00:44:03,480
Speaker 1: in the game, it seems like, and he's not a rookie,

825
00:44:03,880 --> 00:44:06,960
Speaker 1: but after missing a whole year and still really in

826
00:44:07,080 --> 00:44:12,480
Speaker 1: a recovery mode from a severe injury, Harrison Phillips began

827
00:44:12,600 --> 00:44:17,960
Speaker 1: to take on two blockers and that's when I noticed,

828
00:44:18,040 --> 00:44:21,920
Speaker 1: you know, the defense seemed to come alive. There were

829
00:44:23,200 --> 00:44:28,880
Speaker 1: defensive ends in the backfield, the defensive backs seemed to

830
00:44:29,040 --> 00:44:32,960
Speaker 1: be more in position to make play, and it just

831
00:44:33,080 --> 00:44:37,440
Speaker 1: changed the whole dynamic of the defense. And given the

832
00:44:37,480 --> 00:44:43,640
Speaker 1: guys not a rookie, I mean, his coming back from

833
00:44:43,640 --> 00:44:46,640
Speaker 1: that injury and everything, it's like beginning your career all

834
00:44:46,680 --> 00:44:48,960
Speaker 1: over again. So you know, I think of him as

835
00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:51,400
Speaker 1: a rookie. Yeah, Mike, I get that. I hear him.

836
00:44:51,760 --> 00:44:53,640
Speaker 1: And just in the break we were talking about the

837
00:44:53,680 --> 00:44:57,040
Speaker 1: exact same thing we thought. Harrison Phillips started to show

838
00:44:57,120 --> 00:44:58,719
Speaker 1: up in a way that we kind of excluded him

839
00:44:58,719 --> 00:45:02,640
Speaker 1: to last year, navigantly better last week and got rewarded

840
00:45:02,680 --> 00:45:04,799
Speaker 1: for it. He got fifty five percent of the snaps. Yeah,

841
00:45:04,800 --> 00:45:06,440
Speaker 1: he's the only guys that played more than him. On

842
00:45:06,440 --> 00:45:09,319
Speaker 1: the d line were Hughes and Addison. Everybody else was

843
00:45:09,400 --> 00:45:12,040
Speaker 1: behind him in the play playtime, So I think you're right.

844
00:45:12,080 --> 00:45:14,960
Speaker 1: I think Harrison Phillips got a ton of reps last week,

845
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:17,200
Speaker 1: and I think the coaches are seeing it. They like

846
00:45:17,320 --> 00:45:18,920
Speaker 1: what he brings to the table. They know he's a

847
00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:21,759
Speaker 1: smart pass rusher and if the defense is gonna double

848
00:45:21,800 --> 00:45:25,840
Speaker 1: team him, they're looking for a guy to make that happen.

849
00:45:26,040 --> 00:45:28,840
Speaker 1: And if he's probably your one technique going forward until

850
00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:31,640
Speaker 1: somebody else proves otherwise. Right, So I played well, Mike.

851
00:45:31,680 --> 00:45:33,960
Speaker 1: That's a good observation. At least it's good because Brownie

852
00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:36,319
Speaker 1: and I made the same one. So whether it's good

853
00:45:36,400 --> 00:45:39,239
Speaker 1: or not beside the point. Let's go to David and Brockport. David,

854
00:45:39,280 --> 00:45:40,919
Speaker 1: welcome to the show. What do you have for us? Sir?

855
00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:44,360
Speaker 1: I see even Chris. Great to see you back on

856
00:45:44,600 --> 00:45:49,840
Speaker 1: the last month, and I met Murph, Um, but I

857
00:45:49,960 --> 00:45:53,480
Speaker 1: have a suggestion for Tyler Bass. Okay, lay it on us.

858
00:45:53,520 --> 00:45:57,799
Speaker 1: What do you got well? Um, have Brendan Green and

859
00:45:58,120 --> 00:46:04,080
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott and kicking coach call in Steve to ask. Now,

860
00:46:04,160 --> 00:46:11,760
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Steve, Christie and and Gott Norwood to coach

861
00:46:11,840 --> 00:46:15,799
Speaker 1: him on his direction and also coach him for the

862
00:46:15,880 --> 00:46:22,360
Speaker 1: different different swirly wins in Buffalo. Yeah, and it's a

863
00:46:22,360 --> 00:46:25,760
Speaker 1: good idea, David. I mean, I know this coaching always helps,

864
00:46:25,760 --> 00:46:27,719
Speaker 1: particularly the right kind of coaching, I think, and I

865
00:46:27,760 --> 00:46:30,480
Speaker 1: was telling Brownie this as well. I think one of

866
00:46:30,480 --> 00:46:32,880
Speaker 1: the reasons this is a good coaching staff is that

867
00:46:32,920 --> 00:46:35,120
Speaker 1: they know their players. They take time to find out

868
00:46:35,120 --> 00:46:37,520
Speaker 1: who these guys are, what makes them tick, where they

869
00:46:37,560 --> 00:46:40,879
Speaker 1: came from, what their families like, what their aspirations are,

870
00:46:41,000 --> 00:46:43,680
Speaker 1: what their goals are, how hard they work, what they

871
00:46:43,760 --> 00:46:45,319
Speaker 1: like to do, what they don't like to do, what

872
00:46:45,360 --> 00:46:48,200
Speaker 1: they're good at at their job as kickers or linebackers

873
00:46:48,239 --> 00:46:50,279
Speaker 1: or what have you, and what they're not good at.

874
00:46:50,280 --> 00:46:53,439
Speaker 1: It this this coaching staff prides itself and it's very

875
00:46:53,440 --> 00:46:55,440
Speaker 1: good at getting to know these guys, and I think

876
00:46:55,440 --> 00:46:58,600
Speaker 1: it helps this team get better. You can bet that

877
00:46:58,800 --> 00:47:05,239
Speaker 1: whatever Steve Chris Scott Norwood would tell Tyler Bass, not

878
00:47:05,280 --> 00:47:07,319
Speaker 1: only is he hearing that message, he's hearing it from

879
00:47:07,360 --> 00:47:09,719
Speaker 1: somebody who's a credible source, who knows him. And I think,

880
00:47:09,719 --> 00:47:11,279
Speaker 1: and I told Brownie this, one of the things this

881
00:47:11,320 --> 00:47:13,560
Speaker 1: coaching staff's good at is. Like I said, getting to

882
00:47:13,600 --> 00:47:15,160
Speaker 1: know these guys, and once you get to know him,

883
00:47:16,239 --> 00:47:19,560
Speaker 1: you know what makes them and you know what buttons

884
00:47:19,560 --> 00:47:21,680
Speaker 1: to push, and you can bet they're pushing those buttons.

885
00:47:21,680 --> 00:47:23,680
Speaker 1: And you can bet Tyler Bass, just like every other

886
00:47:23,760 --> 00:47:26,520
Speaker 1: rookie we've seen through this coaching staff and this organization

887
00:47:26,800 --> 00:47:30,000
Speaker 1: in Sean mcdermot's tenure, Tyler Bass is going to get better,

888
00:47:31,320 --> 00:47:33,400
Speaker 1: just like every other player we've mentioned today is going

889
00:47:33,440 --> 00:47:36,440
Speaker 1: to get better because that's what this coaching staff does well. Yeah,

890
00:47:36,440 --> 00:47:39,440
Speaker 1: and coaches set of time and again, we bring guys

891
00:47:39,480 --> 00:47:41,600
Speaker 1: in and when they come here, we want them to

892
00:47:41,600 --> 00:47:43,759
Speaker 1: be the best version of themselves. That not only helps

893
00:47:43,800 --> 00:47:47,080
Speaker 1: the team, it helps the individual player reach his full potential.

894
00:47:47,120 --> 00:47:49,040
Speaker 1: That's the aim that they take when they bring people

895
00:47:49,040 --> 00:47:52,719
Speaker 1: in and it's undoubtedly the same for Tyler Bass. Coming

896
00:47:52,760 --> 00:47:55,080
Speaker 1: in here one more before the break. Here to Mark

897
00:47:55,080 --> 00:47:56,839
Speaker 1: on a cell, Mark, what do you have for us?

898
00:47:56,880 --> 00:47:59,960
Speaker 1: Thanks for joining the show. Hey, good afternoon, fellows. Hard

899
00:48:00,120 --> 00:48:04,000
Speaker 1: you today, So you kind of touched up on what

900
00:48:04,040 --> 00:48:06,640
Speaker 1: I was calling to talk about in regards to giving

901
00:48:06,719 --> 00:48:10,399
Speaker 1: up all those points and crucial times of the game,

902
00:48:10,800 --> 00:48:13,520
Speaker 1: like the second the second half of the game, giving

903
00:48:13,600 --> 00:48:17,000
Speaker 1: up twenty five point leagues, you know that's gonna that's

904
00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:20,920
Speaker 1: gonna really damper things on us. What happened from the

905
00:48:21,200 --> 00:48:23,480
Speaker 1: elite crew that we had last year. We pretty much

906
00:48:23,480 --> 00:48:26,640
Speaker 1: have the same people on the defense we did last year.

907
00:48:26,920 --> 00:48:29,680
Speaker 1: So what seems to be the problem this year with

908
00:48:29,719 --> 00:48:31,960
Speaker 1: those same guys. I know there's been some add ons,

909
00:48:32,000 --> 00:48:34,960
Speaker 1: but that shouldn't make a difference, especially with the people

910
00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:37,839
Speaker 1: we have. I think it's a different league from one

911
00:48:37,920 --> 00:48:40,960
Speaker 1: year to the next. The run up to the preseason,

912
00:48:41,200 --> 00:48:45,840
Speaker 1: the lack of preseason, the way it's being officiated, penalties,

913
00:48:45,840 --> 00:48:49,080
Speaker 1: fewer penalties, more leeway for offensive linemen to get ahold

914
00:48:49,080 --> 00:48:52,000
Speaker 1: of defensive lineman. They're not calling holding penalties at nearly

915
00:48:52,000 --> 00:48:54,520
Speaker 1: the rate there. It's a it's almost a third less

916
00:48:54,560 --> 00:48:59,640
Speaker 1: holding penalties there. And you can't tell me, you couldn't

917
00:48:59,640 --> 00:49:02,640
Speaker 1: convince me that the offensive lineman none of them are

918
00:49:02,680 --> 00:49:05,279
Speaker 1: holding that much less than they did a year ago.

919
00:49:05,960 --> 00:49:08,400
Speaker 1: In fact, they're probably holding more knowing and they're starting

920
00:49:08,400 --> 00:49:10,040
Speaker 1: to get away with it. And that has hampered the

921
00:49:10,080 --> 00:49:12,880
Speaker 1: defensive line's ability to get through to the quarterback. And

922
00:49:13,040 --> 00:49:15,920
Speaker 1: as well as what we've been saying too, these quarterbacks

923
00:49:15,920 --> 00:49:18,000
Speaker 1: are getting rid of it fast these days. All of

924
00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:20,799
Speaker 1: them are Josh everybody, and the ones who don't are

925
00:49:20,840 --> 00:49:22,640
Speaker 1: the ones who can go off the page and still

926
00:49:22,680 --> 00:49:25,400
Speaker 1: make plays like like Josh Allen, like Russell Wilson, like

927
00:49:25,480 --> 00:49:28,880
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson, Deshaun Watson, what have you. Those are the

928
00:49:28,920 --> 00:49:33,920
Speaker 1: guys that really scared defenses. So I agree with you.

929
00:49:35,520 --> 00:49:38,399
Speaker 1: I think that you know the points are up all

930
00:49:39,160 --> 00:49:41,839
Speaker 1: over the league, But I don't think you can look

931
00:49:41,840 --> 00:49:44,359
Speaker 1: at our defense and say, like you, like you pointed out,

932
00:49:44,440 --> 00:49:46,840
Speaker 1: this is a completely it's not a completely new defense.

933
00:49:47,000 --> 00:49:49,000
Speaker 1: You would think they would be better from a year ago.

934
00:49:49,760 --> 00:49:52,520
Speaker 1: But because of the atmosphere the game is taking place,

935
00:49:52,520 --> 00:49:55,040
Speaker 1: in the way it's being officiated, and the run up

936
00:49:55,040 --> 00:49:57,520
Speaker 1: in the preseason and the lack of that, I think

937
00:49:58,080 --> 00:50:00,560
Speaker 1: you're seeing it across the league. Lot of teams are

938
00:50:00,560 --> 00:50:02,480
Speaker 1: in the exact same boat that the Buffalo Bills. Yeah,

939
00:50:02,520 --> 00:50:03,800
Speaker 1: I mean looking at all of them. Look at the

940
00:50:03,840 --> 00:50:08,880
Speaker 1: top five defenses from last year. Okay, New England, Buffalo, Baltimore, Chicago, Minnesota.

941
00:50:09,080 --> 00:50:12,319
Speaker 1: This year, okay, New England has slid at least in

942
00:50:12,320 --> 00:50:15,960
Speaker 1: the early going to ninth in the league. Buffalo is

943
00:50:16,200 --> 00:50:22,160
Speaker 1: twentieth Baltimore is seventeenth, Chicago still holding in there at eighth,

944
00:50:22,239 --> 00:50:24,759
Speaker 1: Minnesota is all the way down to twenty ninth in

945
00:50:24,800 --> 00:50:27,719
Speaker 1: total defense, and the Close are the top five defenses

946
00:50:27,760 --> 00:50:32,560
Speaker 1: from last year. Everybody's getting eaten up on defense this year,

947
00:50:32,920 --> 00:50:36,160
Speaker 1: at least to this point. And you know, and the

948
00:50:36,200 --> 00:50:40,280
Speaker 1: Indianapolis Colts are the number one defense in the league.

949
00:50:40,320 --> 00:50:46,480
Speaker 1: And they've played Jacksonville, Minnesota, the Jets and the Bears. Yeah,

950
00:50:46,840 --> 00:50:49,920
Speaker 1: well two teams and Jets and the answers the quarterback,

951
00:50:50,040 --> 00:50:55,080
Speaker 1: yeah and so and the Jaguars. Yeah. So, uh yeah,

952
00:50:55,719 --> 00:50:57,719
Speaker 1: there's your answer right there. I think it's a it's

953
00:50:57,719 --> 00:51:00,680
Speaker 1: a it's a league wide issue. All the defenses are

954
00:51:00,680 --> 00:51:03,399
Speaker 1: taking their lumps right now, and they'll figure it out

955
00:51:03,400 --> 00:51:05,719
Speaker 1: in time. And you know, as Steve and I were

956
00:51:05,760 --> 00:51:08,120
Speaker 1: saying earlier this hour, it'll drift back to the mean.

957
00:51:08,719 --> 00:51:13,000
Speaker 1: You know, it's egregious right now and offensers are scoring

958
00:51:13,080 --> 00:51:16,440
Speaker 1: points at will. But I think defensive coaches will kind

959
00:51:16,440 --> 00:51:18,720
Speaker 1: of get a handle on it to some extent, maybe

960
00:51:18,760 --> 00:51:20,440
Speaker 1: not before the end of this year, but I think

961
00:51:20,440 --> 00:51:23,840
Speaker 1: they will improve and games get tighter in the postseason,

962
00:51:23,920 --> 00:51:27,240
Speaker 1: so we'll see where it goes. But in the early going.

963
00:51:27,320 --> 00:51:30,800
Speaker 1: The offense clearly has the advantage league wide. This is

964
00:51:30,800 --> 00:51:33,440
Speaker 1: a league wide thing, not a single team thing. With

965
00:51:33,480 --> 00:51:35,480
Speaker 1: the Bills defense, per se, and I thought the Bills

966
00:51:35,480 --> 00:51:37,960
Speaker 1: defense got better last week already, and I think they'll

967
00:51:38,000 --> 00:51:40,200
Speaker 1: continue to get better. So we'll just keep an eye

968
00:51:40,200 --> 00:51:41,960
Speaker 1: on it. We have to take a break, but when

969
00:51:41,960 --> 00:51:45,879
Speaker 1: we return, it's our weekly visit from Good Morning Football's

970
00:51:46,000 --> 00:51:48,640
Speaker 1: Kyle Brandt. We'll talk to him about the four and

971
00:51:48,719 --> 00:51:52,120
Speaker 1: oh Bills, take a look around at the league's landscape,

972
00:51:52,480 --> 00:51:54,920
Speaker 1: and maybe check in with him as to where he

973
00:51:55,040 --> 00:51:58,520
Speaker 1: thinks the power lies in the AFC Conference. After four

974
00:51:58,600 --> 00:52:00,799
Speaker 1: games played, all coming up next on One Bill's Live

975
00:52:00,880 --> 00:52:15,440
Speaker 1: presented by Kalida Health, This is Buffalo Bill's radiolow Bills

976
00:52:15,640 --> 00:52:20,600
Speaker 1: Radio Network Sports Date, your sports update from One Bill's Drive,

977
00:52:20,680 --> 00:52:23,920
Speaker 1: and it deals with Bill's injuries. Matt Mulano week to

978
00:52:24,040 --> 00:52:26,960
Speaker 1: week with a pectoral injury, lead by Wallace also week

979
00:52:27,040 --> 00:52:29,120
Speaker 1: to week with an ankle injury according to head coach

980
00:52:29,120 --> 00:52:32,040
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott. Fryan Winter's day to day with a knee injury,

981
00:52:32,040 --> 00:52:35,239
Speaker 1: and Cody Ford was also mentioned by the head coach.

982
00:52:35,239 --> 00:52:37,360
Speaker 1: Will get an update when the team hits the practice

983
00:52:37,400 --> 00:52:41,040
Speaker 1: field tomorrow. Some good news for the Bill's next opponent,

984
00:52:41,080 --> 00:52:44,000
Speaker 1: The Titans continue to trend in the right direction. One

985
00:52:44,040 --> 00:52:47,239
Speaker 1: week after a COVID nineteen outbreak shut down the team's facility.

986
00:52:47,560 --> 00:52:51,320
Speaker 1: For the second straight day, COVID nineteen testing returned zero

987
00:52:51,520 --> 00:52:55,000
Speaker 1: positive results, so with those results, there is potential for

988
00:52:55,200 --> 00:52:58,719
Speaker 1: Tennessee's facility, which has been closed since September twenty ninth,

989
00:52:59,000 --> 00:53:04,080
Speaker 1: to reopen on Wednesday. Last night, the Chiefs defense dominated

990
00:53:04,120 --> 00:53:06,879
Speaker 1: the Patriots, who were without starting quarterback Cam Newton because

991
00:53:06,880 --> 00:53:10,120
Speaker 1: of his weekend positive test for COVID twenty six, to

992
00:53:10,200 --> 00:53:13,920
Speaker 1: tend the final as they created four turnovers off quarterback

993
00:53:14,000 --> 00:53:17,799
Speaker 1: Brian Hoyer and Jarrett Stidham. The Chiefs remain undefeated. They

994
00:53:17,840 --> 00:53:20,680
Speaker 1: play the Raiders on Sunday before next Thursday's matchup with

995
00:53:20,719 --> 00:53:24,239
Speaker 1: the Bills here at Bill's Stadium. Aaron Rodgers continued his

996
00:53:24,320 --> 00:53:27,080
Speaker 1: hot play and the other Monday night game four touchdown

997
00:53:27,080 --> 00:53:30,080
Speaker 1: passes despite not having his top two receivers as the

998
00:53:30,120 --> 00:53:32,960
Speaker 1: Packers moved to three and oz and the Falcons continue

999
00:53:33,040 --> 00:53:36,439
Speaker 1: their slide now owen three to start the season. Bill

1000
00:53:36,480 --> 00:53:39,480
Speaker 1: O'Brien rose from head coach to football's ar in Houston,

1001
00:53:39,520 --> 00:53:41,320
Speaker 1: but he couldn't survive an owen four start to the

1002
00:53:41,360 --> 00:53:45,359
Speaker 1: twenty twenty campaign. The Texans fired the coaching GM on

1003
00:53:45,400 --> 00:53:48,680
Speaker 1: Monday after more than six seasons on the job, and

1004
00:53:48,800 --> 00:53:50,960
Speaker 1: after their Game three win, the Miami Heat looked even

1005
00:53:51,000 --> 00:53:53,359
Speaker 1: their series with the La Lakers to night Game four

1006
00:53:53,400 --> 00:53:55,919
Speaker 1: the NBA Finals. The Lakers haven't dropped back to back

1007
00:53:55,960 --> 00:54:00,319
Speaker 1: games the entire postseason. First tip tonight at nine, and

1008
00:54:00,320 --> 00:54:03,520
Speaker 1: there is your sports update from One Bill's Drive time

1009
00:54:03,600 --> 00:54:05,920
Speaker 1: to begin the second hour of the program, and we

1010
00:54:06,000 --> 00:54:09,680
Speaker 1: do that with our weekly guest from Good Morning Football.

1011
00:54:10,120 --> 00:54:12,399
Speaker 1: It is the one the only Kyle Brandt who, much

1012
00:54:12,440 --> 00:54:16,080
Speaker 1: like Steve Tasker we have learned, is growing out the locks.

1013
00:54:16,160 --> 00:54:18,880
Speaker 1: Now this is something I obviously cannot participate in, but

1014
00:54:19,040 --> 00:54:22,480
Speaker 1: both of your significant others apparently like this long let

1015
00:54:22,480 --> 00:54:25,520
Speaker 1: it be look very much Kyle, it's working for you. Huh,

1016
00:54:26,400 --> 00:54:28,680
Speaker 1: thank you? And you know there's a lot to talk

1017
00:54:28,719 --> 00:54:31,880
Speaker 1: about with the product on the field, But can we

1018
00:54:31,920 --> 00:54:35,440
Speaker 1: first start with the product in Steve's hair. Yes, I'm

1019
00:54:35,480 --> 00:54:38,360
Speaker 1: getting a very strong pombade vibe from you or I

1020
00:54:38,440 --> 00:54:40,720
Speaker 1: don't jelly. You know how hard it is to find

1021
00:54:40,800 --> 00:54:46,839
Speaker 1: by Tallas these days. We're gonna go Alberto vo five

1022
00:54:46,960 --> 00:54:49,360
Speaker 1: on me there for a second man and all that stuff.

1023
00:54:49,440 --> 00:54:51,919
Speaker 1: You know. So it's hard, That's what can I say.

1024
00:54:52,120 --> 00:54:56,640
Speaker 1: But it's it's something a regular vat dalsass soon. Yeah,

1025
00:54:57,440 --> 00:54:59,680
Speaker 1: we are dialing it back and I will see this.

1026
00:55:00,040 --> 00:55:03,000
Speaker 1: I will say this, um saying that my wife is

1027
00:55:03,200 --> 00:55:08,120
Speaker 1: liking it is might be a hair overstated, but you know, yeah,

1028
00:55:08,640 --> 00:55:10,880
Speaker 1: yeah she likes it. Yeah. I mean, hey, guys, you

1029
00:55:10,880 --> 00:55:13,919
Speaker 1: know what it is right now, in this moment as

1030
00:55:13,920 --> 00:55:16,680
Speaker 1: we are both talking, this is the best our hair

1031
00:55:16,800 --> 00:55:19,160
Speaker 1: looks all day. We're on camera right now, Yah, working

1032
00:55:19,600 --> 00:55:22,040
Speaker 1: you find me a nine to fifteen tonight on the

1033
00:55:22,040 --> 00:55:24,319
Speaker 1: couch with crumbs all over my chest. It's it looked

1034
00:55:24,320 --> 00:55:27,160
Speaker 1: like Ernie McCracken in Kingpin. I look ridiculous. This is

1035
00:55:27,160 --> 00:55:30,080
Speaker 1: as good as it guess. Albert Einstein looks fine tuned

1036
00:55:30,160 --> 00:55:32,920
Speaker 1: compared to me. As soon as I get off Oh wow,

1037
00:55:33,120 --> 00:55:37,239
Speaker 1: I am I am, I am an I'm on atrocity

1038
00:55:37,360 --> 00:55:39,919
Speaker 1: once I get off camera. Yeah, I'll vouch for that

1039
00:55:39,920 --> 00:55:42,520
Speaker 1: that that's one hundred percent true. All right, Kyle. Look,

1040
00:55:42,560 --> 00:55:45,680
Speaker 1: I know late last week you were you had a

1041
00:55:45,680 --> 00:55:48,440
Speaker 1: little bit of trepidation going into this one for the Bills.

1042
00:55:48,480 --> 00:55:51,200
Speaker 1: You said, be careful, you don't stub your toe against

1043
00:55:51,200 --> 00:55:53,759
Speaker 1: the Raiders. They do hang on, they do win the game.

1044
00:55:53,840 --> 00:55:56,200
Speaker 1: They don't have to do it in comeback fashion. They

1045
00:55:56,280 --> 00:55:58,680
Speaker 1: lead pretty much wire to wire, although it did get

1046
00:55:59,000 --> 00:56:02,040
Speaker 1: a little hairy there when it was seventeen sixteen. But

1047
00:56:02,120 --> 00:56:04,600
Speaker 1: the defense finally gets some stops in the fourth quarter,

1048
00:56:05,120 --> 00:56:08,239
Speaker 1: and Josh Allen's still throwing footballs that are coming out

1049
00:56:08,239 --> 00:56:10,319
Speaker 1: of the sky. No matter what time of the game,

1050
00:56:10,360 --> 00:56:13,400
Speaker 1: it is just your initial, first blush impression of how

1051
00:56:13,480 --> 00:56:17,000
Speaker 1: that thing turned out. Well, initially, I was worried, guys,

1052
00:56:17,000 --> 00:56:20,000
Speaker 1: because I've ended every appearance here in the last second

1053
00:56:20,000 --> 00:56:22,560
Speaker 1: giving a score prediction and a win prediction for the Bills,

1054
00:56:22,560 --> 00:56:24,439
Speaker 1: and for whatever reason, we just got caught up last weekend.

1055
00:56:24,480 --> 00:56:27,040
Speaker 1: I didn't do it, and Bills fans are nothing if

1056
00:56:27,080 --> 00:56:29,759
Speaker 1: not superstitious, So I was I'm like, I gotta talk

1057
00:56:29,800 --> 00:56:31,600
Speaker 1: to those guys on Tuesday. I blew it. I did

1058
00:56:31,600 --> 00:56:34,600
Speaker 1: not predict a victory, So I was very glad that

1059
00:56:34,680 --> 00:56:38,120
Speaker 1: the Bills pulled it out. And as always, it's always

1060
00:56:38,120 --> 00:56:41,239
Speaker 1: a ride, isn't it, Like there's never just doesn't seem

1061
00:56:41,280 --> 00:56:44,120
Speaker 1: to ever be the whole hum twenty seven to ten

1062
00:56:44,320 --> 00:56:46,759
Speaker 1: victory where they leave. It's always a ride, and I

1063
00:56:46,800 --> 00:56:50,080
Speaker 1: think the wildest part of this ride was the play.

1064
00:56:50,280 --> 00:56:52,640
Speaker 1: And by the play, as we've talked about, I mean

1065
00:56:52,880 --> 00:56:55,319
Speaker 1: sugar Hi, Josh Allen came out as he comes out

1066
00:56:55,360 --> 00:56:59,520
Speaker 1: every single week, and this one was particularly dramatic because Okay,

1067
00:56:59,520 --> 00:57:03,360
Speaker 1: he flicked sit with one hand, which is it's Brett Farvean,

1068
00:57:03,640 --> 00:57:06,080
Speaker 1: It's it's wild, it's a crazy thing to do, and

1069
00:57:06,120 --> 00:57:08,400
Speaker 1: it's when he's had too much fun dip and he

1070
00:57:08,480 --> 00:57:10,319
Speaker 1: just throws it. But then it's also the same play

1071
00:57:10,400 --> 00:57:13,560
Speaker 1: that he also lands on his shoulders. So I was

1072
00:57:13,719 --> 00:57:15,960
Speaker 1: terrified because you know, we're coming off the other night

1073
00:57:16,000 --> 00:57:17,560
Speaker 1: it was the same thing happened to Sam Donald and

1074
00:57:17,600 --> 00:57:19,960
Speaker 1: he goes down, looks like he breaks his shoulder, and

1075
00:57:20,000 --> 00:57:21,959
Speaker 1: if you're watching the game and Twitter at the same time,

1076
00:57:22,040 --> 00:57:25,120
Speaker 1: all the PhDs on Twitter start weighing in, oh, that's

1077
00:57:25,160 --> 00:57:27,920
Speaker 1: a broken collar ball, and that's separated. This separated that.

1078
00:57:28,000 --> 00:57:31,400
Speaker 1: So I was really worried for about two hot minutes

1079
00:57:31,400 --> 00:57:34,240
Speaker 1: with Josh because he grows that makes the crazy play,

1080
00:57:34,400 --> 00:57:37,280
Speaker 1: and then comes the shoulder turn off guy rubs the

1081
00:57:37,400 --> 00:57:39,840
Speaker 1: dirt in. It does whatever he does, he's fireball, tough,

1082
00:57:40,000 --> 00:57:43,760
Speaker 1: comes out and carries them home so perilous. But look,

1083
00:57:44,040 --> 00:57:45,720
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure if they're looking at the standings, there's

1084
00:57:45,760 --> 00:57:48,120
Speaker 1: a four and a zero next to Buffalo. That was

1085
00:57:48,160 --> 00:57:51,120
Speaker 1: the most impromptu candlelight vigil you'll ever see in Buffalo.

1086
00:57:51,160 --> 00:57:54,240
Speaker 1: Afy to the locker room, I mean people on Twitter

1087
00:57:54,400 --> 00:57:56,919
Speaker 1: and using their mind, I meant asses off the top.

1088
00:57:58,000 --> 00:58:01,200
Speaker 1: I find you, guys a fascinating insight the Bills culture

1089
00:58:01,200 --> 00:58:04,280
Speaker 1: and the Bills lifestyle. Tell me that right now that

1090
00:58:04,520 --> 00:58:08,000
Speaker 1: the vibe there and your listeners, your viewers, are they

1091
00:58:08,120 --> 00:58:11,680
Speaker 1: enjoying it? Are they enjoying this team they've waited for

1092
00:58:11,840 --> 00:58:15,840
Speaker 1: twenty plus years? Or is there just too much? We

1093
00:58:15,920 --> 00:58:17,800
Speaker 1: got to beat the Titans now, and the Chiefs are

1094
00:58:17,800 --> 00:58:20,280
Speaker 1: there and the Patriots Because as someone who's watched this

1095
00:58:20,360 --> 00:58:23,919
Speaker 1: team from afar and I've seen every JP Lossman and EJ.

1096
00:58:24,080 --> 00:58:27,120
Speaker 1: Manuel and Jeff Toole and Nathan Peter, I've seen them all.

1097
00:58:27,640 --> 00:58:30,040
Speaker 1: Tell me they're enjoying this ride because this is the

1098
00:58:30,080 --> 00:58:32,240
Speaker 1: season you wait for. They are enjoying it. I think

1099
00:58:32,240 --> 00:58:34,600
Speaker 1: they have fallen madly in love with Josh Allen. Like

1100
00:58:34,680 --> 00:58:36,640
Speaker 1: I think there were still some people on the fence

1101
00:58:36,680 --> 00:58:39,760
Speaker 1: going into this season. Everybody's on the train now they

1102
00:58:39,760 --> 00:58:42,520
Speaker 1: have fallen madly in love with him, but I think

1103
00:58:42,520 --> 00:58:45,240
Speaker 1: there is still an element of trepidation with regard to

1104
00:58:45,320 --> 00:58:48,160
Speaker 1: knowing the schedule is tough in terms of what still

1105
00:58:48,200 --> 00:58:52,400
Speaker 1: lies ahead. So there's always that nervous optimism that people

1106
00:58:52,520 --> 00:58:56,240
Speaker 1: have here. There's an inferiority complex in Western New York,

1107
00:58:56,440 --> 00:58:58,960
Speaker 1: whether it's because they're you know, they're New York City's

1108
00:58:59,080 --> 00:59:02,520
Speaker 1: little brother, or whether there's been all these disappointments over

1109
00:59:02,560 --> 00:59:05,920
Speaker 1: the years in sports in general. So there's this cautious optimism.

1110
00:59:05,920 --> 00:59:07,640
Speaker 1: But I'm gonna give you, I'm gonna paint a picture

1111
00:59:07,680 --> 00:59:10,400
Speaker 1: for you, Kyle, of where we are at here in Buffalo,

1112
00:59:10,480 --> 00:59:12,040
Speaker 1: because I know you were telling us last week you

1113
00:59:12,040 --> 00:59:13,520
Speaker 1: still haven't been up here for a game. So I

1114
00:59:13,560 --> 00:59:16,080
Speaker 1: am now watching road games at home, which is a

1115
00:59:16,160 --> 00:59:18,520
Speaker 1: change for me with the COVID stuff and the restrictions

1116
00:59:18,520 --> 00:59:22,920
Speaker 1: and everything. The game ends okay and the Bills get

1117
00:59:22,920 --> 00:59:26,479
Speaker 1: another win. I am not joking you. There were five

1118
00:59:26,560 --> 00:59:29,280
Speaker 1: There was a firework that went off in my neighborhood,

1119
00:59:29,520 --> 00:59:32,440
Speaker 1: which apparently has been happening after wins, according to my

1120
00:59:32,480 --> 00:59:35,840
Speaker 1: wife because she's home all the time. And I am

1121
00:59:35,880 --> 00:59:39,320
Speaker 1: not joking you when it sounded just like the bolt

1122
00:59:39,680 --> 00:59:41,600
Speaker 1: of a firework that you used to hear in the

1123
00:59:41,680 --> 00:59:44,920
Speaker 1: Hunger Games. It's like the Bills are Catnis Everdene, and

1124
00:59:45,040 --> 00:59:48,160
Speaker 1: all of their opponents are the Tributes that have just

1125
00:59:48,240 --> 00:59:50,640
Speaker 1: passed away, and so the Raiders were the next one.

1126
00:59:50,680 --> 00:59:53,560
Speaker 1: And I'm telling you it sounded exactly the same as

1127
00:59:53,600 --> 00:59:56,800
Speaker 1: the Hunger Game shot after another person bites it. It's true.

1128
00:59:57,960 --> 01:00:02,560
Speaker 1: You see, we all watched it. Brandon being Josh, I mean,

1129
01:00:03,040 --> 01:00:05,440
Speaker 1: Sean mcdermoy gets hired, then Brandon being. They start to

1130
01:00:05,440 --> 01:00:07,479
Speaker 1: build this thing from the ground up, and it looks solid,

1131
01:00:07,560 --> 01:00:09,920
Speaker 1: looks sustainable, it looks like they've made they have never

1132
01:00:09,960 --> 01:00:12,280
Speaker 1: made a false move, and it looks like we all

1133
01:00:12,400 --> 01:00:15,640
Speaker 1: envisioned best case scenario. Looking Josh Allen is that guy.

1134
01:00:15,680 --> 01:00:18,680
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, he's reaching his full potential, but it

1135
01:00:18,840 --> 01:00:21,480
Speaker 1: just seems so fragile. As you see him walk down

1136
01:00:21,480 --> 01:00:25,680
Speaker 1: the tunnel in Allegiant Stadium holding his shoulder, it all

1137
01:00:25,720 --> 01:00:29,760
Speaker 1: seems fragile. And then you see the Tennessee Titans come

1138
01:00:29,800 --> 01:00:32,600
Speaker 1: down with an outbreak. It just seems fragile. And you

1139
01:00:32,680 --> 01:00:36,800
Speaker 1: see the Patriots game, they're starting. Quarterback goes down with

1140
01:00:37,320 --> 01:00:41,160
Speaker 1: it seems fragile. So everybody's saying, we got a chance,

1141
01:00:42,200 --> 01:00:45,320
Speaker 1: but there's nine million things they're gonna derail all. They're

1142
01:00:45,360 --> 01:00:47,520
Speaker 1: all holding their breath. They're all holding where it's been

1143
01:00:47,560 --> 01:00:51,400
Speaker 1: a month and they've held their breath every moment of it. See,

1144
01:00:50,960 --> 01:00:54,320
Speaker 1: that's the that's the terrible coincidence that Chris is where

1145
01:00:54,320 --> 01:00:56,800
Speaker 1: the odds are forever not in their fair because they've

1146
01:00:56,840 --> 01:00:59,000
Speaker 1: waited for twenty years for this season. It's the best

1147
01:00:59,040 --> 01:01:02,840
Speaker 1: team they've had in decade. And the true nightmare and

1148
01:01:02,960 --> 01:01:07,000
Speaker 1: the true terrible luck would be, well, we're eleven and

1149
01:01:07,080 --> 01:01:09,800
Speaker 1: oh and oh my gosh, COVID has reared its head

1150
01:01:09,840 --> 01:01:11,720
Speaker 1: and the whole season is wiped out and the whole

1151
01:01:11,720 --> 01:01:14,160
Speaker 1: thing's taken over, and this was going to be the year.

1152
01:01:14,680 --> 01:01:17,280
Speaker 1: But I choose not to think that way. Listen, somebody

1153
01:01:17,320 --> 01:01:19,280
Speaker 1: asked me to true story and to bring it back

1154
01:01:19,280 --> 01:01:21,040
Speaker 1: to the top of the show. I got a haircut today.

1155
01:01:21,200 --> 01:01:22,800
Speaker 1: You would not believe that, but I did. It was

1156
01:01:22,840 --> 01:01:25,520
Speaker 1: even much longer. I'm sitting in the chair at a

1157
01:01:25,520 --> 01:01:27,920
Speaker 1: place called Jack's Barbershop. It's got the pole out in

1158
01:01:27,920 --> 01:01:31,840
Speaker 1: front and everything. It's it's a classic nineteen fifties barbershop.

1159
01:01:31,880 --> 01:01:34,320
Speaker 1: They just want to talk sports. They got memorabilia everywhere.

1160
01:01:34,840 --> 01:01:37,200
Speaker 1: And typically my barber says, you know, how do you

1161
01:01:37,280 --> 01:01:39,360
Speaker 1: like the Chiefs or what do you think of the Packers?

1162
01:01:39,800 --> 01:01:42,560
Speaker 1: I sat down. He just says, so are we going

1163
01:01:42,600 --> 01:01:45,400
Speaker 1: to get to the super Bowl or not? And I said, man,

1164
01:01:45,440 --> 01:01:47,760
Speaker 1: that it's such a sad question, but it's the right question.

1165
01:01:48,040 --> 01:01:51,160
Speaker 1: And here we are twenty five percent through and we've

1166
01:01:51,160 --> 01:01:52,959
Speaker 1: had a hiccup. It's not been clean, and I would

1167
01:01:52,960 --> 01:01:54,440
Speaker 1: call it more than a hiccup. I think it was

1168
01:01:54,480 --> 01:01:57,240
Speaker 1: a stumble. And yet what I was encouraged by, and

1169
01:01:57,280 --> 01:01:59,920
Speaker 1: I'm trying as hard as I can, guys, remain optimistic,

1170
01:02:00,560 --> 01:02:03,000
Speaker 1: is that it feels. It feels like there was a

1171
01:02:03,000 --> 01:02:05,440
Speaker 1: crisis and it was handled and the response team was

1172
01:02:05,520 --> 01:02:08,480
Speaker 1: there and they moved the game and then they completely

1173
01:02:08,480 --> 01:02:13,080
Speaker 1: postponed the game. We have not seen that dreaded, terrifying

1174
01:02:13,240 --> 01:02:17,000
Speaker 1: domino effect of oh my gosh, the Titans got it,

1175
01:02:17,080 --> 01:02:19,840
Speaker 1: and sure enough last week they played at Minnesota and

1176
01:02:19,840 --> 01:02:22,280
Speaker 1: now they have it, and who we haven't had that?

1177
01:02:22,400 --> 01:02:24,160
Speaker 1: And I think that the NFL has been ready for

1178
01:02:24,160 --> 01:02:27,240
Speaker 1: this We're gonna have more stumbles in the next four months.

1179
01:02:27,240 --> 01:02:30,160
Speaker 1: The question is can you contain it from a stumble

1180
01:02:30,240 --> 01:02:33,640
Speaker 1: toy into catastrophe. So far they've done it. I choose

1181
01:02:33,640 --> 01:02:36,440
Speaker 1: to say we're optimists and they've doubled down because now

1182
01:02:36,560 --> 01:02:39,280
Speaker 1: they're telling you you're you guys have an outbreak, and

1183
01:02:39,320 --> 01:02:42,480
Speaker 1: it's because people haven't adhered to the protocols, like the

1184
01:02:42,600 --> 01:02:45,280
Speaker 1: Raiders last week at the charity function indoors with over

1185
01:02:45,280 --> 01:02:47,840
Speaker 1: one hundred people in no masks, that you're gonna they're

1186
01:02:47,880 --> 01:02:51,280
Speaker 1: gonna dock you draft picks now, I mean they're they're

1187
01:02:51,280 --> 01:02:53,760
Speaker 1: doubling down on you. Better do the right thing here. Oh,

1188
01:02:53,800 --> 01:02:55,960
Speaker 1: the Raiders are gonna get hammered. And this is the

1189
01:02:56,000 --> 01:02:57,840
Speaker 1: stuff they said over the summer. They said, look, if

1190
01:02:57,880 --> 01:02:59,320
Speaker 1: you go out to restaurants, if you do this, you're

1191
01:02:59,320 --> 01:03:02,680
Speaker 1: gonna get hammered. And John Gruden listen, I can't even

1192
01:03:02,720 --> 01:03:05,320
Speaker 1: begin to imagine being John Cruden and yelling at the

1193
01:03:05,400 --> 01:03:08,240
Speaker 1: rafts and yelling at his players. Listen. I get frustrated

1194
01:03:08,280 --> 01:03:10,440
Speaker 1: wearing my mask, just talking to my wife walking down

1195
01:03:10,480 --> 01:03:12,040
Speaker 1: the sidewalk. I want to rip the thing off. I

1196
01:03:12,080 --> 01:03:16,200
Speaker 1: can't speak properly, so I empathize with John Gruden, but

1197
01:03:16,440 --> 01:03:17,880
Speaker 1: out of the rules of the rules, and I see

1198
01:03:17,920 --> 01:03:19,919
Speaker 1: other coaches do it, haven't. Don't take the thing off

1199
01:03:19,920 --> 01:03:23,360
Speaker 1: the whole time. I really don't. So it just brings

1200
01:03:23,400 --> 01:03:25,320
Speaker 1: me back to, you know, Steve, something you and I

1201
01:03:25,360 --> 01:03:27,680
Speaker 1: talked about a lot last year, and now we'll do

1202
01:03:27,720 --> 01:03:30,520
Speaker 1: it with you. Chris. Of course, take the COVID aside.

1203
01:03:30,760 --> 01:03:33,760
Speaker 1: Let's say we stay the course, we handle things at

1204
01:03:33,800 --> 01:03:37,240
Speaker 1: four and oh, right now, what is what constitutes a

1205
01:03:37,320 --> 01:03:40,560
Speaker 1: successful season for the twenty twenty Buffalo Bills? How can

1206
01:03:40,600 --> 01:03:42,840
Speaker 1: this season end? And you'll say, you know, I'm pretty

1207
01:03:42,840 --> 01:03:45,680
Speaker 1: satisfied with that because I remember last year I said,

1208
01:03:45,800 --> 01:03:48,240
Speaker 1: a playoff win, a playoff win. This team is very

1209
01:03:48,240 --> 01:03:50,640
Speaker 1: playoff and they didn't get it. It felt like a success,

1210
01:03:50,720 --> 01:03:54,360
Speaker 1: but I felt I think it fell short. Now I've

1211
01:03:54,400 --> 01:03:55,760
Speaker 1: said from the get go, I think it's a twelve

1212
01:03:55,760 --> 01:03:58,560
Speaker 1: and four team. It could be better. I think a

1213
01:03:58,680 --> 01:04:01,280
Speaker 1: home playoff game is what they want, and I think

1214
01:04:01,360 --> 01:04:03,480
Speaker 1: two playoff wins. Other than that, Like, I think this

1215
01:04:03,520 --> 01:04:05,360
Speaker 1: team is that good and I don't think I'm on

1216
01:04:05,440 --> 01:04:06,880
Speaker 1: the turn. Yeah, they gotta be in the they got

1217
01:04:06,960 --> 01:04:08,960
Speaker 1: to be in the conversation late in the playoffs, either

1218
01:04:08,960 --> 01:04:11,200
Speaker 1: in the championship game or they got to push a

1219
01:04:11,280 --> 01:04:13,840
Speaker 1: team deep in the division round of the playoffs, and

1220
01:04:13,880 --> 01:04:16,640
Speaker 1: you need a home playoff game with it. Since the

1221
01:04:16,640 --> 01:04:18,720
Speaker 1: first time since nineteen ninety five, they've got a two

1222
01:04:18,760 --> 01:04:20,920
Speaker 1: game lead in the division, they have I don't even

1223
01:04:20,960 --> 01:04:22,720
Speaker 1: know if they've had the lead in the division at

1224
01:04:22,720 --> 01:04:25,760
Speaker 1: any point in time except for maybe opening day for

1225
01:04:25,880 --> 01:04:29,600
Speaker 1: two thousand Alorado where they were. Yeah. So now they

1226
01:04:29,680 --> 01:04:32,800
Speaker 1: got a two game lead in the division and they've

1227
01:04:32,800 --> 01:04:36,360
Speaker 1: got two Patriot games left to play, and that to

1228
01:04:36,480 --> 01:04:39,560
Speaker 1: me is still the road block for the division. So

1229
01:04:39,680 --> 01:04:41,960
Speaker 1: I agree they have yet to beat that team with

1230
01:04:41,960 --> 01:04:46,439
Speaker 1: this coaching staff, and that's now they Josh Allen hasn't

1231
01:04:46,440 --> 01:04:50,400
Speaker 1: done it. That's right. And listen, last night's game Chiefs

1232
01:04:50,440 --> 01:04:53,400
Speaker 1: Patriots was fascinating as it pertains to the Bills and

1233
01:04:53,480 --> 01:04:57,680
Speaker 1: the whole AFC power structure because you know, might takeaway

1234
01:04:57,680 --> 01:04:59,480
Speaker 1: from that game. I think we were completely robbed of

1235
01:04:59,600 --> 01:05:02,760
Speaker 1: canber mahomes. It felt like you had the two boxers

1236
01:05:02,800 --> 01:05:05,240
Speaker 1: on the poster and then Cam breaks his hand and

1237
01:05:05,280 --> 01:05:07,360
Speaker 1: someone steps in and short notice and takes the fight,

1238
01:05:07,440 --> 01:05:09,240
Speaker 1: and it's Brian Horger to get slapped around. We didn't

1239
01:05:09,280 --> 01:05:12,120
Speaker 1: really get it. And yet this is the facts. The

1240
01:05:12,200 --> 01:05:15,000
Speaker 1: Chiefs with Patrick Mahomes have played the Patriots three times.

1241
01:05:16,040 --> 01:05:18,280
Speaker 1: In each of those three games, they have failed to

1242
01:05:18,320 --> 01:05:20,640
Speaker 1: score a touchdown in the first half. Two of them

1243
01:05:20,680 --> 01:05:23,320
Speaker 1: have been a loss. I think last night was a

1244
01:05:23,400 --> 01:05:25,600
Speaker 1: loss for the Chiefs of Cam Newton was playing. I

1245
01:05:25,640 --> 01:05:27,200
Speaker 1: think last night was a loss for the Chiefs of

1246
01:05:27,280 --> 01:05:29,520
Speaker 1: Tom Brady was playing. The guys they put in there

1247
01:05:29,560 --> 01:05:32,479
Speaker 1: just did not have it. And yet the Chiefs keep

1248
01:05:32,520 --> 01:05:35,880
Speaker 1: playing with fire, they keep getting behind, they keep being

1249
01:05:35,960 --> 01:05:39,200
Speaker 1: tightened games late. Eventually someone is going to take them out.

1250
01:05:39,320 --> 01:05:41,520
Speaker 1: I honestly think right now, based on Belichick, I think

1251
01:05:41,520 --> 01:05:44,120
Speaker 1: the biggest threats to the Chiefs is the Patriots, which

1252
01:05:44,160 --> 01:05:46,560
Speaker 1: means that the Patriots are obviously still a massive threats

1253
01:05:46,560 --> 01:05:48,680
Speaker 1: of the Buffalo Bills. But the power rankings now and

1254
01:05:48,720 --> 01:05:51,360
Speaker 1: they FC are really defining themselves, and New England with

1255
01:05:51,480 --> 01:05:55,560
Speaker 1: Cam is way way way up there. I agree. So,

1256
01:05:55,560 --> 01:05:57,480
Speaker 1: so why don't we just do this just because we're

1257
01:05:57,520 --> 01:05:59,520
Speaker 1: sitting here at the quarter pole of the season. Kyle,

1258
01:05:59,560 --> 01:06:03,320
Speaker 1: why don't you tell me where you would have your

1259
01:06:03,400 --> 01:06:07,240
Speaker 1: top three in the AFC after four games played? Right now,

1260
01:06:07,520 --> 01:06:11,560
Speaker 1: don't feel obligated, don't feel no, I won't listen. It's

1261
01:06:11,640 --> 01:06:14,160
Speaker 1: it's Kansas City's league. Kansas City is the best best

1262
01:06:14,160 --> 01:06:15,840
Speaker 1: team in the league. I don't even really think it's

1263
01:06:15,840 --> 01:06:19,360
Speaker 1: particularly close. Um So here, let's take it from Kansas

1264
01:06:19,360 --> 01:06:22,760
Speaker 1: City's perspective. Who's gonna take them out? They got Baltimore's number.

1265
01:06:23,040 --> 01:06:25,600
Speaker 1: They seem to have Baltimore down the AFC West, they

1266
01:06:25,600 --> 01:06:30,880
Speaker 1: got under control. So that leaves the Pittsburgh Steelers, who

1267
01:06:30,920 --> 01:06:32,400
Speaker 1: we were going to learn a lot about them this

1268
01:06:32,440 --> 01:06:34,760
Speaker 1: weekend against the Titans, and then the game got pushed away.

1269
01:06:34,800 --> 01:06:36,160
Speaker 1: I still think they're gonna have a say in this

1270
01:06:36,200 --> 01:06:38,560
Speaker 1: thing at the end, right the same team they're gonna play,

1271
01:06:38,600 --> 01:06:41,560
Speaker 1: the Titans, but you know, the Chiefs dispatched to them

1272
01:06:41,600 --> 01:06:43,560
Speaker 1: the playoffs. There was a really good Titans team. We'll

1273
01:06:43,560 --> 01:06:46,600
Speaker 1: see and then it's the Bills. And it's the Bills.

1274
01:06:46,600 --> 01:06:48,600
Speaker 1: And you guys know as well as I do. This

1275
01:06:48,680 --> 01:06:51,240
Speaker 1: next month of Bills Football's it's the biggest month they've

1276
01:06:51,240 --> 01:06:53,920
Speaker 1: played in twenty years. I mean, it's just not just

1277
01:06:54,000 --> 01:06:56,920
Speaker 1: that they're four and oh it's it's Titans, it's Chiefs.

1278
01:06:56,960 --> 01:06:58,800
Speaker 1: They get that bye week against the Jets, and then

1279
01:06:58,800 --> 01:07:00,800
Speaker 1: they played the Patriots and it's I mean, it's this

1280
01:07:00,880 --> 01:07:02,640
Speaker 1: is gonna. I don't they could lose all three of

1281
01:07:02,680 --> 01:07:04,640
Speaker 1: those games. They can win all three of them. It's

1282
01:07:04,680 --> 01:07:07,840
Speaker 1: that close. So, Chris, the short answer is it's the

1283
01:07:07,920 --> 01:07:10,840
Speaker 1: Chiefs League, and it's who has the knockout power to

1284
01:07:11,040 --> 01:07:13,120
Speaker 1: take them out. I think if I had to choose

1285
01:07:13,120 --> 01:07:17,560
Speaker 1: two teams, I would say Pittsburgh and maybe Buffalo. But

1286
01:07:17,640 --> 01:07:19,520
Speaker 1: they got approve a lot one team to intrigue me.

1287
01:07:19,560 --> 01:07:20,880
Speaker 1: And I want to ask you about because you guys,

1288
01:07:20,960 --> 01:07:23,880
Speaker 1: you guys oversee the whole league, and another team in

1289
01:07:23,920 --> 01:07:26,600
Speaker 1: the ABEAM really fascinates me is my friend Frank Reich's

1290
01:07:26,600 --> 01:07:29,600
Speaker 1: team down in Indianapolis. They got the number one defense

1291
01:07:29,640 --> 01:07:31,720
Speaker 1: in the league, in the league where nobody can play

1292
01:07:31,760 --> 01:07:35,120
Speaker 1: defense anymore, and they've got the number one defense, and

1293
01:07:35,160 --> 01:07:37,600
Speaker 1: they've got Philip Rivers, now, a guy who at least

1294
01:07:37,640 --> 01:07:39,720
Speaker 1: you know you're not gonna outsmart him. What do you

1295
01:07:39,720 --> 01:07:42,240
Speaker 1: think about how far they can go in Indianapolis, Because

1296
01:07:42,240 --> 01:07:43,960
Speaker 1: that's a team that I don't think people here in Buffalo.

1297
01:07:44,000 --> 01:07:47,560
Speaker 1: It's on their radar, and I think I think that's

1298
01:07:47,600 --> 01:07:51,800
Speaker 1: their division down there, the South. Yeah, that's a great cost, dude.

1299
01:07:52,120 --> 01:07:54,800
Speaker 1: No one is seemingly very interested that the Cults have

1300
01:07:54,840 --> 01:07:56,720
Speaker 1: won three in a row, that they just beat an

1301
01:07:56,760 --> 01:07:59,400
Speaker 1: undefeated team on the road, And yeah, their division is

1302
01:07:59,440 --> 01:08:01,520
Speaker 1: terrible now, I mean, the division is kind of in

1303
01:08:01,600 --> 01:08:04,720
Speaker 1: shambles unless we'll see what happens with Tennessee. We'll see

1304
01:08:04,800 --> 01:08:07,800
Speaker 1: Tennessee versus Indy's gonna be really good. But I don't know.

1305
01:08:07,840 --> 01:08:10,800
Speaker 1: It's like this. It's Phil Rivers is always kind of

1306
01:08:10,800 --> 01:08:13,880
Speaker 1: not we're getting He's gonna be good, but not terribly great.

1307
01:08:14,200 --> 01:08:16,479
Speaker 1: Doesn't do it in the playoffs, but they run and

1308
01:08:16,520 --> 01:08:19,160
Speaker 1: they play d and your old buddy Frank Reich, I mean,

1309
01:08:19,960 --> 01:08:22,639
Speaker 1: I have so much unbelievable respect for that guy. Every

1310
01:08:22,640 --> 01:08:24,840
Speaker 1: single year he seems to make it work. So it's

1311
01:08:24,880 --> 01:08:28,080
Speaker 1: a great, great follow that they're not in the headlines.

1312
01:08:28,080 --> 01:08:30,960
Speaker 1: The Cults are beneath the fold, but they are in

1313
01:08:31,040 --> 01:08:32,519
Speaker 1: one of those teams would be like we could wake

1314
01:08:32,600 --> 01:08:34,559
Speaker 1: up on January be like, oh my gosh, the Colts

1315
01:08:34,640 --> 01:08:37,559
Speaker 1: just knocked off Baltimore or the Colts who knows knocked

1316
01:08:37,560 --> 01:08:39,680
Speaker 1: off Kansas City. They may have the recipe, and I'm

1317
01:08:39,720 --> 01:08:42,439
Speaker 1: gonna give you mine because I'm sitting there looking at

1318
01:08:42,439 --> 01:08:46,559
Speaker 1: the weekly stat pack, and I'm thinking to myself, Holy crap.

1319
01:08:46,920 --> 01:08:49,360
Speaker 1: The Cleveland Browns are a higher scoring team than the

1320
01:08:49,400 --> 01:08:52,479
Speaker 1: Bills right now, and they scored six points in weeks

1321
01:08:52,479 --> 01:08:54,920
Speaker 1: in Week one and got wax, and they've got a

1322
01:08:55,000 --> 01:08:57,759
Speaker 1: super easy schedule. I mean, I just think that team's

1323
01:08:57,760 --> 01:09:00,160
Speaker 1: gonna be hanging around in November. It looks like in

1324
01:09:00,200 --> 01:09:03,360
Speaker 1: Stefanski has kind of harnessed all that talent on the

1325
01:09:03,400 --> 01:09:05,880
Speaker 1: offensive side of all is upside down the Bills and

1326
01:09:06,000 --> 01:09:10,360
Speaker 1: the Browns, and I know it's stranger things and the Chiefs.

1327
01:09:10,920 --> 01:09:13,559
Speaker 1: Oh isn't that fun? I mean, it's listen in the

1328
01:09:13,880 --> 01:09:16,400
Speaker 1: comparison with the Cowboys offense and the Browns, Chris like

1329
01:09:16,560 --> 01:09:19,360
Speaker 1: in their defense or the Bills. Rather, the Bills have

1330
01:09:19,439 --> 01:09:21,479
Speaker 1: not gotten to play Dallas yet. I think right now

1331
01:09:21,520 --> 01:09:23,920
Speaker 1: Bills could paying ninety points on the Cowboys the way

1332
01:09:23,960 --> 01:09:26,439
Speaker 1: they're going, and the Browns are always just it's just

1333
01:09:26,479 --> 01:09:29,559
Speaker 1: a matter of this. It's do you do you trust

1334
01:09:29,600 --> 01:09:32,840
Speaker 1: the Browns? You know it's it's Morpheus comes out to

1335
01:09:32,960 --> 01:09:34,719
Speaker 1: Neo and says, you want to take the blue pill

1336
01:09:34,880 --> 01:09:36,560
Speaker 1: or the red pill? You want off this ride, or

1337
01:09:36,640 --> 01:09:39,439
Speaker 1: you want to go further down the wormhole. I can't

1338
01:09:39,479 --> 01:09:43,200
Speaker 1: resist them because they're two to two talented. Their huddle

1339
01:09:43,280 --> 01:09:46,240
Speaker 1: is such a joke with those receivers and the running back. Listen,

1340
01:09:46,360 --> 01:09:48,320
Speaker 1: they ran for three hundred yards on an NFL team

1341
01:09:48,360 --> 01:09:50,200
Speaker 1: with their starting running back leaving on an injury and

1342
01:09:50,280 --> 01:09:53,439
Speaker 1: Nick Chobb. It's crazy, like they have just as much

1343
01:09:53,479 --> 01:09:57,280
Speaker 1: firepower as anybody in football. And when they flex, it's

1344
01:09:57,320 --> 01:10:00,360
Speaker 1: like it's like the lead guitarists doing the guitar solo

1345
01:10:00,400 --> 01:10:02,640
Speaker 1: behind his back. It looks great. I mean, it is

1346
01:10:02,760 --> 01:10:05,479
Speaker 1: really sexy, and we got to see that on Sunday.

1347
01:10:05,520 --> 01:10:08,920
Speaker 1: It's just is it still the Browns? And maybe you

1348
01:10:08,960 --> 01:10:10,559
Speaker 1: guys relate to that because a lot of people say

1349
01:10:10,560 --> 01:10:13,360
Speaker 1: as the same old Bills. It's just they're three and one.

1350
01:10:13,800 --> 01:10:15,080
Speaker 1: I feel like they have not been three and one

1351
01:10:15,080 --> 01:10:17,880
Speaker 1: since the seventies. It's a wild time. You're the Bills

1352
01:10:17,880 --> 01:10:21,280
Speaker 1: and the Browns leading the conversation. I just I don't

1353
01:10:21,280 --> 01:10:23,519
Speaker 1: get it. I mean, and the thing that the reason

1354
01:10:23,560 --> 01:10:25,479
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna hang around is their schedule is

1355
01:10:25,880 --> 01:10:27,479
Speaker 1: I think it's I saw it this morning on Twitter.

1356
01:10:27,560 --> 01:10:30,240
Speaker 1: Is the third easiest the rest of the way. According

1357
01:10:30,320 --> 01:10:33,160
Speaker 1: to some advanced metrics guys, and I'm thinking, man, the

1358
01:10:33,200 --> 01:10:36,679
Speaker 1: Bills have like a super tough schedule. I could see

1359
01:10:36,680 --> 01:10:39,519
Speaker 1: the Browns hanging around unless somebody goes a wall, and

1360
01:10:39,720 --> 01:10:41,720
Speaker 1: you know which could very easily happen. We could have

1361
01:10:41,760 --> 01:10:44,719
Speaker 1: another boat trip and no Dell could be hosting people

1362
01:10:44,960 --> 01:10:47,240
Speaker 1: without masks on, and who the hell knows what happens

1363
01:10:47,280 --> 01:10:50,040
Speaker 1: during a bye week or something. But for some reason,

1364
01:10:50,080 --> 01:10:52,120
Speaker 1: I think the Browns are going to hang around here.

1365
01:10:52,360 --> 01:10:55,439
Speaker 1: One thing I want to get from you is with

1366
01:10:55,520 --> 01:10:59,680
Speaker 1: respect to the things that people still worry about with Josh,

1367
01:10:59,760 --> 01:11:03,040
Speaker 1: and that is the crazy play you reference one of

1368
01:11:03,080 --> 01:11:05,160
Speaker 1: them that led to the injury. The other one is

1369
01:11:05,360 --> 01:11:09,400
Speaker 1: they're up fourteen, they're in field goal range. It's third

1370
01:11:09,400 --> 01:11:11,800
Speaker 1: and long, and Josh hangs on to the football and

1371
01:11:11,880 --> 01:11:14,519
Speaker 1: does his best al Pacino scarface. I can take your

1372
01:11:14,560 --> 01:11:17,800
Speaker 1: bullets and get sacked for a loss. They're out of

1373
01:11:17,840 --> 01:11:20,280
Speaker 1: field goal range, they have to punt, and then the

1374
01:11:20,360 --> 01:11:21,840
Speaker 1: Raiders come the other way and make it a one

1375
01:11:21,880 --> 01:11:23,920
Speaker 1: score game when it probably shouldn't have been. They should

1376
01:11:23,960 --> 01:11:26,840
Speaker 1: have been up seventeen. Those kinds of hairy plays that

1377
01:11:26,880 --> 01:11:29,720
Speaker 1: he still has in his back pockets. Sometimes that's what

1378
01:11:29,880 --> 01:11:35,519
Speaker 1: worries Sugar Hi Josh. Sometimes Sugar Hi Josh pukes, sometimes

1379
01:11:35,520 --> 01:11:37,639
Speaker 1: he does. Listen, you can only have so many Star

1380
01:11:37,680 --> 01:11:40,320
Speaker 1: Patch kids before they come back up right. But it's

1381
01:11:41,120 --> 01:11:45,439
Speaker 1: I feel like it's it's slowly, maybe slowly getting smaller,

1382
01:11:45,560 --> 01:11:48,679
Speaker 1: like the evil Kinevo factor, he who wears the same colors.

1383
01:11:49,160 --> 01:11:52,479
Speaker 1: But it's also like I remember when Michael Vick was young,

1384
01:11:52,479 --> 01:11:54,080
Speaker 1: and it's a different conversation, and they just be like,

1385
01:11:54,080 --> 01:11:56,120
Speaker 1: stoped running, stop run, You're gonna get hurt. You're gonna

1386
01:11:56,120 --> 01:11:58,120
Speaker 1: get hurt. And John Madden would come out and be like,

1387
01:11:58,160 --> 01:12:00,400
Speaker 1: what do you mean, don't run? You're Michael Vick. It's

1388
01:12:00,400 --> 01:12:03,240
Speaker 1: a slightly different thing because we're talking about decision making.

1389
01:12:03,680 --> 01:12:05,720
Speaker 1: But I don't know if you just get Josh in

1390
01:12:05,760 --> 01:12:09,000
Speaker 1: his head and say just you know, just focus, focus, focus,

1391
01:12:09,200 --> 01:12:11,040
Speaker 1: I feel like you don't get some of the vibrancy,

1392
01:12:11,200 --> 01:12:13,519
Speaker 1: some of the good that goes with that crazy stuff.

1393
01:12:13,560 --> 01:12:16,160
Speaker 1: He's already you know, we haven't had the ridiculous fumbles

1394
01:12:16,280 --> 01:12:19,559
Speaker 1: last week. We haven't had any sort of insane hi

1395
01:12:19,680 --> 01:12:22,479
Speaker 1: jinks other than he just gets a little excited. Sometimes

1396
01:12:22,520 --> 01:12:24,599
Speaker 1: sometimes my kid has fifty four roll ups and then

1397
01:12:24,640 --> 01:12:27,320
Speaker 1: he walks through a screen door like, that's just it's Josh.

1398
01:12:27,360 --> 01:12:31,040
Speaker 1: He's still young still, and you can't be evil. You

1399
01:12:31,080 --> 01:12:35,360
Speaker 1: can't be you can't be evil. Knevil in a tuxedo, right, Oh,

1400
01:12:35,439 --> 01:12:37,800
Speaker 1: you gotta wear the cave. He's got a walking stick

1401
01:12:37,880 --> 01:12:40,240
Speaker 1: full of wild turkey in it. That was evil, and

1402
01:12:40,400 --> 01:12:42,880
Speaker 1: I think Josh has some of that evil. And that's

1403
01:12:42,920 --> 01:12:45,360
Speaker 1: what I'm talking Just Evie, I l is okay, just

1404
01:12:45,520 --> 01:12:47,960
Speaker 1: not the other one. They are. They are calling fewer

1405
01:12:48,040 --> 01:12:50,360
Speaker 1: designed runs for him the last couple of games. I mean,

1406
01:12:50,439 --> 01:12:52,800
Speaker 1: Miami's really the last time we saw that, and then

1407
01:12:52,880 --> 01:12:55,599
Speaker 1: all of this offensive production with his arm. I think

1408
01:12:55,640 --> 01:12:57,719
Speaker 1: it is convinced Brian Dable. Hey, you know what, maybe

1409
01:12:57,720 --> 01:12:59,760
Speaker 1: I really don't need to have him run all that much,

1410
01:13:00,000 --> 01:13:01,800
Speaker 1: and let's protect him a little bit more to save

1411
01:13:01,880 --> 01:13:03,439
Speaker 1: that arm and let the arm do the work. And

1412
01:13:03,439 --> 01:13:05,479
Speaker 1: that's what's been happening in these last couple of weeks.

1413
01:13:06,400 --> 01:13:09,679
Speaker 1: Real quick, Kyle, you're look ahead with this Titans team,

1414
01:13:09,720 --> 01:13:12,280
Speaker 1: it's a rock'em sock'em team. I don't know if you've looked,

1415
01:13:12,280 --> 01:13:14,160
Speaker 1: but the last three times these two teams have played

1416
01:13:14,200 --> 01:13:16,200
Speaker 1: each other, I think it's been seven points or less,

1417
01:13:16,360 --> 01:13:20,160
Speaker 1: including a couple of one pointers in seventeen and eighteen.

1418
01:13:20,800 --> 01:13:24,600
Speaker 1: We're kind of thinking more of the same provided Tennessee

1419
01:13:24,640 --> 01:13:27,200
Speaker 1: gets some of their COVID reserve players back. But that's

1420
01:13:27,479 --> 01:13:32,520
Speaker 1: that's a big question mark two here. Yeah, and listen, Tennessee.

1421
01:13:32,920 --> 01:13:35,559
Speaker 1: Tennessee is one of these teams are gonna matter, not now,

1422
01:13:35,640 --> 01:13:38,800
Speaker 1: in three months, they're gonna be there. This raybel thing

1423
01:13:38,840 --> 01:13:40,760
Speaker 1: the Tannehill to Derek Henry, I don't care if the

1424
01:13:40,880 --> 01:13:43,320
Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans lose this game the next three games, they're

1425
01:13:43,320 --> 01:13:44,880
Speaker 1: gonna have a say in this thing at the end

1426
01:13:44,880 --> 01:13:47,879
Speaker 1: of it. I really think they do. So listen the Raiders.

1427
01:13:47,960 --> 01:13:49,920
Speaker 1: It's a nice test. You go to Vegas, you stay

1428
01:13:49,920 --> 01:13:52,200
Speaker 1: four and oh you don't lose the Hiccup game. This

1429
01:13:52,280 --> 01:13:54,040
Speaker 1: is not a Hiccup game. This is not a trap game.

1430
01:13:54,080 --> 01:13:56,360
Speaker 1: This is one of the big games. And the only

1431
01:13:56,400 --> 01:13:58,519
Speaker 1: thing you want to you would worry about with the

1432
01:13:58,560 --> 01:14:01,120
Speaker 1: Bills on this one is it's the game you think

1433
01:14:01,160 --> 01:14:03,320
Speaker 1: you don't focus on. You're thinking about the Chiefs and

1434
01:14:03,320 --> 01:14:05,080
Speaker 1: you got a short We come to the Chiefs. No

1435
01:14:06,120 --> 01:14:10,040
Speaker 1: all bombs away, Dable Alan. They're a great, great team,

1436
01:14:10,080 --> 01:14:11,920
Speaker 1: But I still think given what the tennis tents have

1437
01:14:12,000 --> 01:14:15,400
Speaker 1: been through and the distraction and the uncertainty. I think

1438
01:14:15,400 --> 01:14:17,519
Speaker 1: the Bills have this one, and I'm gonna call for

1439
01:14:17,560 --> 01:14:21,360
Speaker 1: a double digit win. Thirty to twenty Bills five and

1440
01:14:21,520 --> 01:14:25,479
Speaker 1: oh headed into Chiefs week. Wow, all right, another third,

1441
01:14:25,840 --> 01:14:29,160
Speaker 1: another thirty burger? All right, all right, take have you

1442
01:14:29,200 --> 01:14:34,040
Speaker 1: seen this offense? Chris? Come on, it's part of me

1443
01:14:34,080 --> 01:14:36,639
Speaker 1: that still doesn't believe it, but yes, I have seen it. Yeah,

1444
01:14:36,680 --> 01:14:39,600
Speaker 1: all right, Kyle, listen. We appreciate the insight and a

1445
01:14:39,600 --> 01:14:41,479
Speaker 1: little bit of the high jinks as well as always,

1446
01:14:41,479 --> 01:14:43,439
Speaker 1: so good to have you with us. We'll catch up

1447
01:14:43,479 --> 01:14:49,880
Speaker 1: with you next week, sir, Chris, you are the mocking Jay. Yes, thanks, yes,

1448
01:14:49,960 --> 01:14:52,800
Speaker 1: thank you very much. All right, Kyle Brand joining us

1449
01:14:52,800 --> 01:14:57,760
Speaker 1: here from Good Morning Football. Um, yeah, it's uh, it's

1450
01:14:57,800 --> 01:15:00,800
Speaker 1: hard for me to even believe some times. We've seen

1451
01:15:00,840 --> 01:15:03,839
Speaker 1: it for four straight weeks, thirty points, with the exception

1452
01:15:03,880 --> 01:15:06,400
Speaker 1: of Week one when they only had a mere twenty seven.

1453
01:15:07,880 --> 01:15:10,880
Speaker 1: But people are expecting thirty points a week from this

1454
01:15:10,880 --> 01:15:13,160
Speaker 1: team now, and I realize that's they're scoring average through

1455
01:15:13,160 --> 01:15:16,599
Speaker 1: the first four weeks. But and maybe that happens because

1456
01:15:17,240 --> 01:15:19,479
Speaker 1: the Titans go into this game shorthanded. If they can't

1457
01:15:19,479 --> 01:15:22,479
Speaker 1: get people off the covid IR list. They've got a

1458
01:15:22,479 --> 01:15:25,439
Speaker 1: couple other players that contribute to this team that are

1459
01:15:25,439 --> 01:15:27,599
Speaker 1: on regular IR. They don't know if they'll be back.

1460
01:15:27,600 --> 01:15:30,320
Speaker 1: And the Titans are gonna show up juiced for this game,

1461
01:15:30,720 --> 01:15:32,759
Speaker 1: really juiced. I mean they've been sitting on their couch

1462
01:15:32,760 --> 01:15:36,200
Speaker 1: for ten days juiced. They're gonna feel fresh, really juiced.

1463
01:15:36,520 --> 01:15:41,559
Speaker 1: I'm this game worries me, and Milano's availability is a

1464
01:15:41,600 --> 01:15:46,720
Speaker 1: major question mark this week. He's a difference maker, man.

1465
01:15:46,880 --> 01:15:52,080
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Levi's week to week. Fortunately, Josh Norman is

1466
01:15:52,120 --> 01:15:55,599
Speaker 1: back and healthy, so that's a good thing. But they're

1467
01:15:55,640 --> 01:15:58,360
Speaker 1: gonna be filling in some holes this week, and they're

1468
01:15:58,360 --> 01:16:00,040
Speaker 1: gonna be playing a team that's gonna be loaded for

1469
01:16:00,120 --> 01:16:04,080
Speaker 1: bear in their own backyard. Um, it's I think it's

1470
01:16:04,080 --> 01:16:06,599
Speaker 1: gonna be a Rockham Sockham game. The last three between

1471
01:16:06,640 --> 01:16:10,560
Speaker 1: these two teams have been physical to the hilt. Um.

1472
01:16:10,600 --> 01:16:12,599
Speaker 1: It's a shame the fans can't be down there again

1473
01:16:12,640 --> 01:16:14,720
Speaker 1: like they were last year. If that was an atmosphere,

1474
01:16:14,800 --> 01:16:16,720
Speaker 1: I don't even know if I just last year, it's

1475
01:16:16,760 --> 01:16:18,840
Speaker 1: been it's been years, and not just last year. But

1476
01:16:18,880 --> 01:16:21,240
Speaker 1: two or three, you know, but the percentage of the

1477
01:16:21,280 --> 01:16:23,840
Speaker 1: percentage of fans there were the most I've ever seen.

1478
01:16:23,960 --> 01:16:27,240
Speaker 1: I did that game for for CBS. I think it

1479
01:16:27,320 --> 01:16:30,720
Speaker 1: was with I think I was in the booth with uh,

1480
01:16:32,040 --> 01:16:34,920
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy and Steve Berlin. I think we had that game,

1481
01:16:35,600 --> 01:16:38,599
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, I had some friends, Hey, we're

1482
01:16:38,600 --> 01:16:40,599
Speaker 1: going down for the game. Let's have let's have dinner

1483
01:16:40,720 --> 01:16:42,439
Speaker 1: or let's let's have a drink or whatever I was.

1484
01:16:42,479 --> 01:16:43,960
Speaker 1: I said, okay, sure, So I go down and it

1485
01:16:44,000 --> 01:16:49,400
Speaker 1: was down in Old Town and I walked it was

1486
01:16:49,479 --> 01:16:52,120
Speaker 1: like it was like Allentown. It was like the Allentown

1487
01:16:52,240 --> 01:16:54,479
Speaker 1: Art Festival. Yeah, it was like the all Buffalo people

1488
01:16:54,840 --> 01:16:58,639
Speaker 1: in Bill's gear. It was. It was like a bust gathering.

1489
01:16:58,760 --> 01:17:01,320
Speaker 1: It was nuts. It was like being an Allentown. Everybody

1490
01:17:01,320 --> 01:17:04,400
Speaker 1: there was from Buffalo and it was m or It's

1491
01:17:04,439 --> 01:17:09,080
Speaker 1: like the It was like Eurie County Fair. I'm telling you.

1492
01:17:09,560 --> 01:17:13,280
Speaker 1: It was. I was like, you know, everyone's like, hey,

1493
01:17:13,360 --> 01:17:16,479
Speaker 1: you want some you guys want some barbecue us. You know,

1494
01:17:16,560 --> 01:17:19,120
Speaker 1: It's like everyone's talking like they were from Buffalo. Yeah,

1495
01:17:19,320 --> 01:17:24,680
Speaker 1: and you know, all the rooftop bars. I thought it

1496
01:17:24,720 --> 01:17:28,920
Speaker 1: was like a you know, it was like a movie. Yeah,

1497
01:17:28,920 --> 01:17:30,720
Speaker 1: it was. It was something else. That's a shame. It

1498
01:17:30,720 --> 01:17:34,320
Speaker 1: can't be that way. It was crazy. Although they're supposed

1499
01:17:34,360 --> 01:17:36,960
Speaker 1: to have at least last week, they were supposed to

1500
01:17:37,000 --> 01:17:39,439
Speaker 1: have seven thousand fans for that Steelers Titans game. Now,

1501
01:17:39,439 --> 01:17:42,559
Speaker 1: I don't know if their municipalities have changed things in

1502
01:17:42,640 --> 01:17:44,960
Speaker 1: light of the outbreak that the team sustained. I mean,

1503
01:17:45,120 --> 01:17:46,840
Speaker 1: I haven't read anything about that. I'm gonna have to

1504
01:17:46,920 --> 01:17:49,400
Speaker 1: check and see because I'm sitting here saying, oh, no fans.

1505
01:17:49,400 --> 01:17:51,080
Speaker 1: But wait a second. They were supposed to have seven

1506
01:17:51,080 --> 01:17:54,000
Speaker 1: thousand for their home opener last week and that didn't happen.

1507
01:17:54,080 --> 01:17:57,000
Speaker 1: Here's the thing. It seems prudent given what the team

1508
01:17:57,000 --> 01:17:58,880
Speaker 1: has been through, but by the same token, the fans

1509
01:17:58,880 --> 01:18:03,519
Speaker 1: were never gonna get anywhere near the player first from

1510
01:18:03,520 --> 01:18:05,120
Speaker 1: a distance. We'll try to look that up because we

1511
01:18:05,160 --> 01:18:06,679
Speaker 1: have to take a break. But when we come back

1512
01:18:06,760 --> 01:18:09,400
Speaker 1: more of your phone calls and we'll hear from coach

1513
01:18:09,479 --> 01:18:12,839
Speaker 1: McDermott about some of the updates regarding his roster injury

1514
01:18:12,880 --> 01:18:16,600
Speaker 1: wise and how this team is looking coming out of

1515
01:18:16,640 --> 01:18:18,840
Speaker 1: that latest win over the Raiders that's coming up next

1516

1528
01:19:08,120 --> 01:19:10,000
Speaker 1: We want to get back to the phones, but first,

1529
01:19:10,080 --> 01:19:12,439
Speaker 1: as we promised, we wanted to get an update on

1530
01:19:12,479 --> 01:19:15,800
Speaker 1: whether the Titans are still hosting fans, and it looks

1531
01:19:15,840 --> 01:19:18,960
Speaker 1: like they are now. I am going to read the

1532
01:19:19,040 --> 01:19:22,559
Speaker 1: capacity totals they are allowing. Now keep in mind this

1533
01:19:22,640 --> 01:19:25,200
Speaker 1: is from a write up on September seventeenth, when the

1534
01:19:25,240 --> 01:19:28,000
Speaker 1: Titans first announced that they would be hosting fans for

1535
01:19:28,040 --> 01:19:32,560
Speaker 1: their three October home games. So the game against the Steelers,

1536
01:19:32,720 --> 01:19:36,519
Speaker 1: they were to host ten percent of their capacity, which

1537
01:19:36,560 --> 01:19:40,080
Speaker 1: is just over sixty nine thousand fans, and then those

1538
01:19:40,160 --> 01:19:43,080
Speaker 1: numbers in terms of the fans allowed in the building

1539
01:19:43,120 --> 01:19:45,360
Speaker 1: was going to increase to twelve and a half percent

1540
01:19:45,439 --> 01:19:48,120
Speaker 1: for the Bills game this Sunday and then go up

1541
01:19:48,120 --> 01:19:52,040
Speaker 1: to fifteen percent for their October eighteenth home game against

1542
01:19:52,080 --> 01:19:55,600
Speaker 1: the Texans. Obviously, the season ticket holders were going to

1543
01:19:55,640 --> 01:19:58,960
Speaker 1: be given priority for that, and they were saying that

1544
01:19:59,040 --> 01:20:02,559
Speaker 1: attendance at Nissan Stadium could rise to as much as

1545
01:20:02,560 --> 01:20:05,880
Speaker 1: twenty one percent, which would be about fourteen thousand, five

1546
01:20:05,960 --> 01:20:09,799
Speaker 1: hundred fans for their four home games in November and December.

1547
01:20:09,920 --> 01:20:13,760
Speaker 1: So it looks as though for now they are going

1548
01:20:13,760 --> 01:20:17,519
Speaker 1: to host twelve and a half percent of capacity. So

1549
01:20:17,640 --> 01:20:19,640
Speaker 1: I'm going to do some quick math here, Steve. But

1550
01:20:19,800 --> 01:20:24,320
Speaker 1: six thousand, sixty nine thousand, one hundred forty three times,

1551
01:20:24,360 --> 01:20:27,880
Speaker 1: what did we say twelve and a half percent, Let's

1552
01:20:27,880 --> 01:20:31,400
Speaker 1: see what we get. Yeah, so it's it's not many.

1553
01:20:31,600 --> 01:20:35,320
Speaker 1: I mean, you're talking just a shade over seven thousand fans.

1554
01:20:35,360 --> 01:20:39,240
Speaker 1: So what is that? Somewhere between seven and eight thousand fans?

1555
01:20:40,600 --> 01:20:43,280
Speaker 1: So how much of a difference is that going to make?

1556
01:20:43,280 --> 01:20:47,800
Speaker 1: It will make a difference, You'll hear them, But you know, Yeah,

1557
01:20:47,840 --> 01:20:49,680
Speaker 1: you won't see the Bills fans that you did last

1558
01:20:49,760 --> 01:20:53,080
Speaker 1: year unless they can somehow pry tickets away from Titan

1559
01:20:53,120 --> 01:20:54,880
Speaker 1: season ticket holders that don't want to go to an

1560
01:20:54,960 --> 01:20:58,200
Speaker 1: environment like that. But we'll see, we'll see how it'll be.

1561
01:20:58,240 --> 01:21:02,640
Speaker 1: Takes available, Yeah, I always are if you want to

1562
01:21:02,640 --> 01:21:04,160
Speaker 1: make if you want to pay the money, that's a

1563
01:21:04,200 --> 01:21:06,759
Speaker 1: game though. Man, that is a that's a hot ticket.

1564
01:21:06,840 --> 01:21:09,200
Speaker 1: I think between those two teams, one went to the

1565
01:21:09,240 --> 01:21:11,519
Speaker 1: AFC title game last year, the other team's four and

1566
01:21:11,560 --> 01:21:14,680
Speaker 1: oh I think it's a hot ticket. So we'll see

1567
01:21:14,720 --> 01:21:17,840
Speaker 1: where it goes. Eight oh three five fifty one eight

1568
01:21:18,040 --> 01:21:20,840
Speaker 1: eight five fifty two, five fifty To weigh in on

1569
01:21:20,880 --> 01:21:24,280
Speaker 1: the show, the tweet sheet twitter poll is what Bill's

1570
01:21:24,320 --> 01:21:26,519
Speaker 1: rookie do you want to see more of going forward?

1571
01:21:26,920 --> 01:21:29,200
Speaker 1: You know, whether it's one of the top three draft choices.

1572
01:21:29,640 --> 01:21:33,200
Speaker 1: Maybe it's somebody else. Somebody chimed in with Tyler Bass

1573
01:21:33,240 --> 01:21:35,960
Speaker 1: on the tweet sheet, But we go to Bill in

1574
01:21:36,160 --> 01:21:38,840
Speaker 1: Niagara Falls. Bill, thanks for joining us. What do you

1575
01:21:38,880 --> 01:21:45,240
Speaker 1: have sir? Well? I always sure that football is a business,

1576
01:21:45,880 --> 01:21:48,919
Speaker 1: and I was wondering if there was a big business

1577
01:21:49,000 --> 01:21:53,799
Speaker 1: decision to let Hushka go and take take a rookie.

1578
01:21:54,240 --> 01:21:56,880
Speaker 1: I don't know how much money they make, but half

1579
01:21:56,880 --> 01:21:59,840
Speaker 1: a million here and half a millionaire and pretty soon

1580
01:21:59,840 --> 01:22:04,120
Speaker 1: you're talking real money. Yeah. I don't know if a

1581
01:22:04,240 --> 01:22:06,840
Speaker 1: business decision, well, I don't think it was primarily a

1582
01:22:06,880 --> 01:22:10,519
Speaker 1: business decision. It was a performance decision. Tyler Bass in

1583
01:22:10,600 --> 01:22:13,760
Speaker 1: training camp matched howsh could kick for kick and then

1584
01:22:13,800 --> 01:22:15,960
Speaker 1: where he had the advantage was on kickoffs. I mean,

1585
01:22:16,000 --> 01:22:18,320
Speaker 1: this kid's in the top four in the league in touchbacks.

1586
01:22:18,320 --> 01:22:21,759
Speaker 1: I think he's got eighteen now through four games. And

1587
01:22:22,000 --> 01:22:24,680
Speaker 1: the bottom line was Stephen Houshka could not reach the

1588
01:22:24,680 --> 01:22:27,040
Speaker 1: goal line on kickoffs anymore. He just didn't have the

1589
01:22:27,120 --> 01:22:31,240
Speaker 1: leg and his accuracy from fifty yard yards plus, which

1590
01:22:31,320 --> 01:22:33,519
Speaker 1: used to be a staple for him and why he

1591
01:22:33,560 --> 01:22:36,320
Speaker 1: did last in the league so long. His leg was

1592
01:22:36,360 --> 01:22:38,519
Speaker 1: starting to go on him and I think the Bills

1593
01:22:38,560 --> 01:22:41,759
Speaker 1: recognized that last season, and even though he finished strong

1594
01:22:41,840 --> 01:22:45,000
Speaker 1: last year, the fact was that he really just couldn't

1595
01:22:45,000 --> 01:22:47,920
Speaker 1: get it done from distance anymore, and they went with

1596
01:22:47,960 --> 01:22:50,320
Speaker 1: the big legged rookie who was also going to help

1597
01:22:50,320 --> 01:22:53,400
Speaker 1: them on special teams from a kick return standpoint. Yeah, Bill,

1598
01:22:53,439 --> 01:22:55,240
Speaker 1: don't get caught up in the in the fact that

1599
01:22:55,280 --> 01:22:58,040
Speaker 1: they're trying to save money, they're they're trying to win.

1600
01:22:58,320 --> 01:23:00,800
Speaker 1: They're not in a bad caps ad cap space, and

1601
01:23:00,840 --> 01:23:04,479
Speaker 1: certainly they're getting a huge financial break by taking Tyler

1602
01:23:04,600 --> 01:23:07,479
Speaker 1: Bass rather than Stephen Houska. Houske was met due to

1603
01:23:07,479 --> 01:23:10,519
Speaker 1: make four point five million dollars this year and Tyler

1604
01:23:10,600 --> 01:23:14,560
Speaker 1: Bass is probably making less than a million bucks. So

1605
01:23:14,640 --> 01:23:16,840
Speaker 1: they're they're making some money that way and saving something,

1606
01:23:16,880 --> 01:23:20,800
Speaker 1: but that's not on their mind, not in this situation.

1607
01:23:21,479 --> 01:23:27,080
Speaker 1: I watched the scrimmage that they had, the live scrimmage,

1608
01:23:27,080 --> 01:23:29,679
Speaker 1: the only real live scrimmage they had during training camp.

1609
01:23:29,720 --> 01:23:34,360
Speaker 1: I watched it, and Tyler Bass was a better kicker

1610
01:23:34,840 --> 01:23:36,559
Speaker 1: on that day. I don't know what happened the rest

1611
01:23:36,600 --> 01:23:38,439
Speaker 1: of the the training camp or whatever, but Tyler Bass was

1612
01:23:38,479 --> 01:23:42,000
Speaker 1: the better kicker on that day. His leg was much livelier,

1613
01:23:42,280 --> 01:23:45,800
Speaker 1: his kickoffs were much much deeper, and he and House

1614
01:23:45,880 --> 01:23:49,519
Speaker 1: chemistic kick and Tyler Bass didn't. That's as simple as

1615
01:23:49,520 --> 01:23:55,160
Speaker 1: that performance. And I know this too. The Bills, as

1616
01:23:55,200 --> 01:23:58,400
Speaker 1: Bills fans, weren't a tough spot here because you're trying

1617
01:23:58,439 --> 01:24:01,200
Speaker 1: to make sure that this team hits on all cylinders

1618
01:24:01,600 --> 01:24:04,240
Speaker 1: and you're trying to go back in time now and

1619
01:24:04,560 --> 01:24:08,800
Speaker 1: reassess what they did to get here. Just don't They

1620
01:24:08,880 --> 01:24:11,320
Speaker 1: made some decisions that fans were like, what are they

1621
01:24:11,320 --> 01:24:13,280
Speaker 1: doing here? Why they do that? Remember, you know they

1622
01:24:13,320 --> 01:24:17,760
Speaker 1: traded Ron Darby, they traded Sammy Wattkins, they did they

1623
01:24:17,760 --> 01:24:20,519
Speaker 1: got listen. It's all part of it. And that's why

1624
01:24:20,840 --> 01:24:23,519
Speaker 1: Quentin Spain's no longer on the field. You've got to

1625
01:24:23,640 --> 01:24:26,240
Speaker 1: if you want on the field, earn it. If you

1626
01:24:26,320 --> 01:24:30,200
Speaker 1: get off the field is because you haven't, and that's

1627
01:24:31,280 --> 01:24:33,840
Speaker 1: where they're gonna stay. So that's why they made the

1628
01:24:33,960 --> 01:24:36,160
Speaker 1: switch to Tyler Bass. It doesn't have anything to do

1629
01:24:36,200 --> 01:24:38,600
Speaker 1: with money. It has to do with performance. And the

1630
01:24:38,640 --> 01:24:40,479
Speaker 1: guys in the locker room know that if they play

1631
01:24:40,520 --> 01:24:42,599
Speaker 1: well enough, they're going to get a shot, and if

1632
01:24:42,600 --> 01:24:45,880
Speaker 1: they don't, somebody's gonna take their spot. And that doesn't

1633
01:24:45,880 --> 01:24:47,559
Speaker 1: mean they don't love them. That means they don't care.

1634
01:24:47,640 --> 01:24:49,840
Speaker 1: It doesn't mean they don't care about them. It just

1635
01:24:49,920 --> 01:24:52,080
Speaker 1: means that you got to earn it with this group.

1636
01:24:52,080 --> 01:24:54,400
Speaker 1: And I think that's what Tyler Bass has done so far.

1637
01:24:54,560 --> 01:24:57,559
Speaker 1: One more before the break, we go to David in Vermont. David,

1638
01:24:57,600 --> 01:25:00,000
Speaker 1: you're on the show. What do you have for us, Sarah, Thanks,

1639
01:25:01,240 --> 01:25:04,240
Speaker 1: thank you. I'm calling to requests that you try and

1640
01:25:04,280 --> 01:25:08,160
Speaker 1: get Hall of Famer and retired Justice of the Minnesota

1641
01:25:08,160 --> 01:25:12,200
Speaker 1: Supreme Court Alan Page on your show so he can

1642
01:25:12,280 --> 01:25:17,640
Speaker 1: talk about booth review and the inconsistencies we continue to

1643
01:25:17,680 --> 01:25:20,920
Speaker 1: see day in and day out during the games. He

1644
01:25:20,960 --> 01:25:25,760
Speaker 1: would have fascinating insight into the standard of review which

1645
01:25:25,840 --> 01:25:30,439
Speaker 1: is being used and the inevitable inconsistency that we're seeing.

1646
01:25:30,960 --> 01:25:34,960
Speaker 1: Why would Allan Page have that knowledge, David the Hall

1647
01:25:35,040 --> 01:25:37,400
Speaker 1: of Fame. As a Hall of Famer as well as

1648
01:25:37,400 --> 01:25:40,880
Speaker 1: a retired Justice of the Minnesota Supreme Court, he could

1649
01:25:40,880 --> 01:25:45,439
Speaker 1: easily explain that the standard of review which is being

1650
01:25:45,640 --> 01:25:50,000
Speaker 1: used is clearly erroneous. In other words, the booth review

1651
01:25:50,680 --> 01:25:56,799
Speaker 1: is not a denovo or a new call on the field.

1652
01:25:57,160 --> 01:26:01,440
Speaker 1: The booth review is looking to see whether it's clearly erroneous,

1653
01:26:01,560 --> 01:26:07,120
Speaker 1: and we all think it's obviously clearly erroneous. In particular,

1654
01:26:07,600 --> 01:26:12,280
Speaker 1: the difference in standards was relative to the interception called

1655
01:26:12,720 --> 01:26:16,559
Speaker 1: in the Rams game. Right, Well, we all saw that

1656
01:26:16,840 --> 01:26:20,519
Speaker 1: we see it as not being an interception, but the

1657
01:26:20,560 --> 01:26:25,200
Speaker 1: Booth review is limited to deciding is it clearly erroneous

1658
01:26:25,280 --> 01:26:29,519
Speaker 1: as called on the field. I would. Yeah, I'm sorry

1659
01:26:29,520 --> 01:26:31,720
Speaker 1: to interrupt, David, but I would agree with you that

1660
01:26:31,720 --> 01:26:35,240
Speaker 1: the scope of the review process is too narrow. I

1661
01:26:35,280 --> 01:26:39,080
Speaker 1: think you could more successfully argue that because they simply

1662
01:26:39,320 --> 01:26:42,719
Speaker 1: go with what the call is on the field and

1663
01:26:42,920 --> 01:26:46,639
Speaker 1: they don't leave it open to interpretation for anything else. Now,

1664
01:26:46,680 --> 01:26:49,120
Speaker 1: there may be a reason behind that, because they think

1665
01:26:49,120 --> 01:26:51,400
Speaker 1: it opens up a can of worms where well, this

1666
01:26:51,520 --> 01:26:54,040
Speaker 1: happened behind the play, look at that back there, How

1667
01:26:54,040 --> 01:26:56,559
Speaker 1: can we ignore that and this and that? So I

1668
01:26:56,600 --> 01:26:59,679
Speaker 1: think they're narrowing the scope on purpose. But I think

1669
01:26:59,720 --> 01:27:02,840
Speaker 1: I agree with you, David. It rules out the application

1670
01:27:03,360 --> 01:27:06,639
Speaker 1: of common sense on what happened on the play, even

1671
01:27:06,680 --> 01:27:08,920
Speaker 1: if the people on the field missed it. Yeah. What

1672
01:27:09,280 --> 01:27:13,120
Speaker 1: do you think about that, David? Well, I think that's true.

1673
01:27:13,160 --> 01:27:15,960
Speaker 1: And when you refer to it as common sense, the

1674
01:27:16,120 --> 01:27:20,000
Speaker 1: lawyers and judges who are watching these games, we're analyzing

1675
01:27:20,000 --> 01:27:22,519
Speaker 1: it in terms of the standards of review that we're

1676
01:27:22,560 --> 01:27:25,519
Speaker 1: taught in law school and which apply to everyone when

1677
01:27:25,560 --> 01:27:28,479
Speaker 1: you're in a judicial process. Right, I get I get

1678
01:27:28,479 --> 01:27:30,559
Speaker 1: what you're go ahead, Well, I get what you're saying,

1679
01:27:30,600 --> 01:27:34,160
Speaker 1: because they're telling us by the letter of the review

1680
01:27:34,320 --> 01:27:37,960
Speaker 1: on the interception slash reception for Tyler Croft in the

1681
01:27:38,160 --> 01:27:41,439
Speaker 1: Rams game. They weren't allowed to get it right because

1682
01:27:41,520 --> 01:27:46,280
Speaker 1: the video. The video did not show clear and obvious

1683
01:27:46,840 --> 01:27:51,040
Speaker 1: reason to reverse it. Is that what you're saying, and

1684
01:27:51,160 --> 01:27:56,480
Speaker 1: that's yes, and that's a clearly erroneous standard. Whereas whereas

1685
01:27:56,720 --> 01:28:01,240
Speaker 1: with John Brown the ball broke the plane. Understand how

1686
01:28:01,280 --> 01:28:05,839
Speaker 1: that wasn't clearly erroneous in the call on the field

1687
01:28:06,439 --> 01:28:10,920
Speaker 1: and why the booth review didn't change that, and whether

1688
01:28:11,120 --> 01:28:15,840
Speaker 1: there are multiple officials engaging in the booth review so

1689
01:28:15,880 --> 01:28:20,720
Speaker 1: that we're seeing inconsistency because the decision makers I don't

1690
01:28:20,760 --> 01:28:23,200
Speaker 1: know how many they have, and I don't know how

1691
01:28:23,240 --> 01:28:25,840
Speaker 1: many are assigned to each game. I'll tell you what

1692
01:28:25,880 --> 01:28:27,680
Speaker 1: it is, David, And David, thanks for the call. We're

1693
01:28:27,720 --> 01:28:29,599
Speaker 1: up against the break here, David. I'll tell you why

1694
01:28:30,080 --> 01:28:34,519
Speaker 1: there is only one person making those reviews. And I'm sorry,

1695
01:28:34,520 --> 01:28:35,800
Speaker 1: We're sorry to cut you off because we've gotta got

1696
01:28:35,840 --> 01:28:37,760
Speaker 1: a break. But David, there's only one guy making the

1697
01:28:37,840 --> 01:28:40,400
Speaker 1: review in New York, and that's the way the league

1698
01:28:40,439 --> 01:28:44,479
Speaker 1: wants it because they they feel with one guy seeing

1699
01:28:44,640 --> 01:28:48,640
Speaker 1: every play, he will get better at doing it more consistently.

1700
01:28:49,000 --> 01:28:52,479
Speaker 1: Because he'll see things the same way, and that has

1701
01:28:52,520 --> 01:28:56,000
Speaker 1: not been the case. That one guy who at one

1702
01:28:56,040 --> 01:28:58,639
Speaker 1: point was one point was Mike Perrere. At the other

1703
01:28:58,640 --> 01:29:01,040
Speaker 1: point it was Dean Blandino. Now they have a different

1704
01:29:01,080 --> 01:29:06,320
Speaker 1: guy doing it, and he has been arbitrary and biased

1705
01:29:06,720 --> 01:29:12,760
Speaker 1: at best, inconsistent inconsistent to say the least, and that

1706
01:29:12,880 --> 01:29:18,160
Speaker 1: has been a real problem. He has just not proven

1707
01:29:18,280 --> 01:29:20,800
Speaker 1: himself to be up to the task at hand, and

1708
01:29:20,920 --> 01:29:23,800
Speaker 1: that has been the problem in my estimation. I don't

1709
01:29:23,800 --> 01:29:27,160
Speaker 1: care about the the erroneous nature of the review process.

1710
01:29:27,360 --> 01:29:29,439
Speaker 1: I can get that. If it's a rule and they

1711
01:29:29,439 --> 01:29:32,880
Speaker 1: say it prevents this, that's fine, that's fine. I don't

1712
01:29:32,920 --> 01:29:36,320
Speaker 1: get but when you can't get the process itself right,

1713
01:29:36,760 --> 01:29:39,719
Speaker 1: even if it doesn't if it's even if it isn't perfect,

1714
01:29:39,880 --> 01:29:43,760
Speaker 1: if you can't get that right, we're in a state

1715
01:29:43,800 --> 01:29:47,920
Speaker 1: of chaos. It's an application and execution problem. It's one thing.

1716
01:29:48,360 --> 01:29:50,720
Speaker 1: It's one thing if you have a process that is

1717
01:29:50,760 --> 01:29:53,360
Speaker 1: the way it is for a reason to eliminate other

1718
01:29:53,400 --> 01:29:57,120
Speaker 1: things from coming in and muddying the waters. Okay, fine,

1719
01:29:57,160 --> 01:29:59,200
Speaker 1: that's fine, but it's the same for everybody. If that's

1720
01:29:59,240 --> 01:30:02,719
Speaker 1: going to be your pri you better executed properly, because

1721
01:30:02,720 --> 01:30:05,200
Speaker 1: then you're opening up a whole nother problem, and if

1722
01:30:05,200 --> 01:30:09,000
Speaker 1: you have someone doing it on an inconsistent way, it

1723
01:30:09,600 --> 01:30:12,320
Speaker 1: totally compromises the whole process you put in place to

1724
01:30:12,320 --> 01:30:15,000
Speaker 1: begin with, and that's why people are frustrated. David, thanks

1725
01:30:15,000 --> 01:30:16,720
Speaker 1: for the call. We have to take a break, but

1726
01:30:16,760 --> 01:30:19,400
Speaker 1: when we come back more of your phone calls. We'll

1727
01:30:19,400 --> 01:30:21,439
Speaker 1: take another look at the tweet sheet. And then the

1728
01:30:21,479 --> 01:30:24,479
Speaker 1: two o'clock hour, it's time to hear from the coaching staff.

1729
01:30:24,479 --> 01:30:26,439
Speaker 1: We've been promising it the whole time. We'll get to

1730
01:30:26,439 --> 01:30:28,360
Speaker 1: that in the two o'clock hour. All coming up next

1731
01:30:28,400 --> 01:30:30,519
Speaker 1: here on One Bill's Live, presented by Kalid to Health.

1732
01:30:30,760 --> 01:30:47,519
Speaker 1: This is Buffalo Bill's Radio Chris Brown, Steve Tasker at

1733
01:30:47,560 --> 01:30:51,679
Speaker 1: that time in the show for Reads, Milestones, Reads Gens,

1734
01:30:51,680 --> 01:30:54,519
Speaker 1: the official Jeweler or the Buffalo Bills. Stefon Diggs now

1735
01:30:54,560 --> 01:30:58,320
Speaker 1: has four hundred three receiving yards this season. That's the

1736
01:30:58,400 --> 01:31:01,360
Speaker 1: sixth time a Bill has had four hundred receiving yards

1737
01:31:01,439 --> 01:31:04,240
Speaker 1: or more in a season's first four games. He's the

1738
01:31:04,280 --> 01:31:06,720
Speaker 1: first to do it since Eric Mulls put up four

1739
01:31:06,800 --> 01:31:10,080
Speaker 1: hundred eighteen in two thousand and two. This is also

1740
01:31:11,040 --> 01:31:15,679
Speaker 1: the highest receiving yardage total for the first four games

1741
01:31:15,680 --> 01:31:18,679
Speaker 1: of a season in Stefan Digg's career. His previous high

1742
01:31:18,720 --> 01:31:21,839
Speaker 1: was three hundred and seventy one yards in the twenty

1743
01:31:21,880 --> 01:31:24,400
Speaker 1: seventeen season. In the first four games, I thought he

1744
01:31:24,479 --> 01:31:27,360
Speaker 1: was playing pretty good. I could have been wrong. He

1745
01:31:27,439 --> 01:31:29,320
Speaker 1: looked pretty good to me. Yeah, no, I don't know.

1746
01:31:29,360 --> 01:31:32,519
Speaker 1: I'm going out on a limb. He has been everything

1747
01:31:32,560 --> 01:31:36,280
Speaker 1: asked for. And there was an interesting piece written that

1748
01:31:36,360 --> 01:31:39,439
Speaker 1: I read at you think about the teams around the NFL. Okay,

1749
01:31:39,439 --> 01:31:42,040
Speaker 1: so the Bill's trade for their number one receiver and

1750
01:31:42,040 --> 01:31:43,479
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, they're four and oh and they're

1751
01:31:43,640 --> 01:31:47,040
Speaker 1: they're looking like an offense that's on fire. The Houston

1752
01:31:47,040 --> 01:31:50,080
Speaker 1: Texans traded their number one receiver in DeAndre Hopkins, and

1753
01:31:50,120 --> 01:31:52,479
Speaker 1: they they're a dumpster fire and fired their head coach

1754
01:31:52,520 --> 01:31:57,759
Speaker 1: general manager yesterday. You've got the team that acquired their

1755
01:31:58,479 --> 01:32:01,200
Speaker 1: number one receiver from Houston in Arizona, and all of

1756
01:32:01,240 --> 01:32:03,880
Speaker 1: a sudden, they're what three and one? Now are they?

1757
01:32:04,960 --> 01:32:07,000
Speaker 1: They're looking like a contender and maybe the worst the

1758
01:32:07,880 --> 01:32:10,160
Speaker 1: hardest division, most difficult division to win in the in

1759
01:32:10,200 --> 01:32:13,880
Speaker 1: the league. So it's there's a lot going on, and

1760
01:32:14,320 --> 01:32:17,800
Speaker 1: those guys make a difference. I will say though, Minnesota

1761
01:32:17,960 --> 01:32:20,360
Speaker 1: did a pretty good job and you know, GM Rick

1762
01:32:20,360 --> 01:32:23,160
Speaker 1: Spielman's a pretty good two and two Arizonas two and two, right,

1763
01:32:23,880 --> 01:32:26,800
Speaker 1: But the Vikings look like they have capably found a

1764
01:32:26,880 --> 01:32:30,519
Speaker 1: replacement for Diggs as Justin Jefferson, the LSU receiver that

1765
01:32:30,560 --> 01:32:34,600
Speaker 1: they selected with their first round pick, has done a

1766
01:32:34,600 --> 01:32:37,280
Speaker 1: pretty good job of stepping in in place of Diggs.

1767
01:32:37,680 --> 01:32:39,960
Speaker 1: Feeland is still their number one receiver, but the last

1768
01:32:40,000 --> 01:32:43,200
Speaker 1: two weeks, Justin Jefferson has put put up over one

1769
01:32:43,280 --> 01:32:46,439
Speaker 1: hundred yards receiving for that Vikings offense. So he is

1770
01:32:46,560 --> 01:32:48,639
Speaker 1: rounding into form and looks like he will be able

1771
01:32:48,680 --> 01:32:51,640
Speaker 1: to fill a role for them. And sometimes it's just

1772
01:32:51,720 --> 01:32:54,320
Speaker 1: where you are as an organization. You know, you can't

1773
01:32:54,360 --> 01:32:57,240
Speaker 1: pay everybody, and so you have to rely on your

1774
01:32:57,280 --> 01:33:01,080
Speaker 1: personnel department to find people to step in and replace

1775
01:33:01,160 --> 01:33:05,720
Speaker 1: those guys with young talent on rookie contracts. Teams do

1776
01:33:05,760 --> 01:33:09,080
Speaker 1: it better than others, Yeah, sometimes you do both. Well,

1777
01:33:09,080 --> 01:33:11,760
Speaker 1: that's what the Bills have been exactly. The Bills got

1778
01:33:11,760 --> 01:33:14,479
Speaker 1: a fourth round wide receiver in a in a draft

1779
01:33:14,600 --> 01:33:17,360
Speaker 1: that was next three rounds after Justin Jeffers good receiver,

1780
01:33:17,560 --> 01:33:19,880
Speaker 1: you know, neck deep and good receivers, and they got

1781
01:33:19,920 --> 01:33:22,679
Speaker 1: Gabriel Davis out of it and he's catching touchdown passes.

1782
01:33:22,720 --> 01:33:26,720
Speaker 1: So um, it's it's a throwing league, no question about it.

1783
01:33:27,120 --> 01:33:31,439
Speaker 1: I think the teams like Buffalo in particular, they got

1784
01:33:31,439 --> 01:33:33,720
Speaker 1: some guys they really trust. And you can see why.

1785
01:33:33,760 --> 01:33:36,599
Speaker 1: We saw John Brown and Cole Beasley last year. Loved them.

1786
01:33:36,640 --> 01:33:39,800
Speaker 1: They elevated the team to a point where they could

1787
01:33:39,920 --> 01:33:42,439
Speaker 1: score more points than they did in twenty and eighteen

1788
01:33:43,400 --> 01:33:44,880
Speaker 1: and got them to a place where they get to

1789
01:33:44,880 --> 01:33:47,559
Speaker 1: the playoffs with those guys. And then this year you

1790
01:33:47,600 --> 01:33:49,920
Speaker 1: add it on top of it, two quality receivers and

1791
01:33:49,920 --> 01:33:51,080
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, the Bills are one of the

1792
01:33:51,120 --> 01:33:53,360
Speaker 1: few teams in the league says, you know what, We're

1793
01:33:53,360 --> 01:33:56,320
Speaker 1: gonna test the depth of your secondary every single snap.

1794
01:33:56,320 --> 01:33:58,200
Speaker 1: We're gonna go twenty percent of the time, we're gonna

1795
01:33:58,200 --> 01:34:00,000
Speaker 1: have four guys on the field, and we're gonna throw

1796
01:34:00,040 --> 01:34:02,200
Speaker 1: are running back white out wide two. Let's see what

1797
01:34:02,240 --> 01:34:05,040
Speaker 1: you do. It's a problem with a two hundred and

1798
01:34:05,040 --> 01:34:08,599
Speaker 1: fifty pound running quarterback. Now here's the thing that's crazy

1799
01:34:08,640 --> 01:34:11,680
Speaker 1: to me. Okay, so the Bills, I think have one

1800
01:34:11,680 --> 01:34:14,120
Speaker 1: of the most talented receiving cores in the league. The

1801
01:34:14,200 --> 01:34:18,160
Speaker 1: Cowboys do as well, and you see the production coming there.

1802
01:34:19,040 --> 01:34:22,720
Speaker 1: Then you have the Green Bay Packers. Okay, because even

1803
01:34:22,720 --> 01:34:26,000
Speaker 1: the Chiefs talented receiving corps top to bottom. Okay, yeah,

1804
01:34:26,000 --> 01:34:29,679
Speaker 1: they go three four deep. Then you go to the Packers. Okay,

1805
01:34:30,760 --> 01:34:35,200
Speaker 1: last night, Aaron Rodgers top two receivers are out of

1806
01:34:35,240 --> 01:34:39,519
Speaker 1: the game, Davante Adams not playing Alan Lazard on ir

1807
01:34:40,680 --> 01:34:45,479
Speaker 1: he throws three touchdown passes to an undrafted rookie tight

1808
01:34:45,600 --> 01:34:49,800
Speaker 1: end and is lighting it up. Does that put Aaron

1809
01:34:49,880 --> 01:34:53,160
Speaker 1: Rodgers on another level because he doesn't have the people

1810
01:34:53,160 --> 01:34:56,200
Speaker 1: around him, and yet he's raising the level of those players.

1811
01:34:56,320 --> 01:34:59,400
Speaker 1: Because I think everybody would say the Chiefs have a

1812
01:34:59,479 --> 01:35:03,440
Speaker 1: talented receiving corps, the Bills have a talented receiving corps,

1813
01:35:03,479 --> 01:35:07,559
Speaker 1: the Cowboys have a talented receiving corps. What about the

1814
01:35:07,560 --> 01:35:09,920
Speaker 1: Packers when they don't have their top two guys out

1815
01:35:09,920 --> 01:35:13,160
Speaker 1: there and Aaron Rodgers still does that. He completed eighty

1816
01:35:13,160 --> 01:35:16,640
Speaker 1: one percent of his passage. He was twenty seven of

1817
01:35:17,000 --> 01:35:20,320
Speaker 1: thirty three, twenty seven of thirty three with no his

1818
01:35:20,520 --> 01:35:22,600
Speaker 1: top guy wasn't there and his number two guys a

1819
01:35:22,680 --> 01:35:25,479
Speaker 1: friend of the show, Andrew Brand, who's the professor of law.

1820
01:35:26,320 --> 01:35:31,000
Speaker 1: That's not right, He's a sports law professor at Villanova.

1821
01:35:31,600 --> 01:35:34,760
Speaker 1: He tweeted out. He says Matt Ryan with all those

1822
01:35:34,800 --> 01:35:39,479
Speaker 1: first rounders around him, is not as good as Aaron

1823
01:35:39,560 --> 01:35:43,080
Speaker 1: Rodgers with undrafted guys around him. They crushed those guys

1824
01:35:43,200 --> 01:35:46,840
Speaker 1: last night. Aaron Rodgers looked phenomenal three twenty seven for

1825
01:35:46,920 --> 01:35:48,720
Speaker 1: four tds and a one four. What does that say

1826
01:35:48,720 --> 01:35:51,000
Speaker 1: about Rodgers though? When he can do that with a

1827
01:35:51,040 --> 01:35:53,600
Speaker 1: bunch of no names, And I'll say this, I get it.

1828
01:35:53,640 --> 01:35:55,960
Speaker 1: And Aaron Rodgers is phenomenal and he's and he's I

1829
01:35:56,000 --> 01:35:58,080
Speaker 1: think he's out to prove a little something to this show.

1830
01:35:58,400 --> 01:36:00,120
Speaker 1: And I think too. I think the thing that has

1831
01:36:00,160 --> 01:36:01,840
Speaker 1: turned the corner this year is the fact that it's

1832
01:36:01,840 --> 01:36:03,960
Speaker 1: his second year in the offense with his new coach,

1833
01:36:03,960 --> 01:36:06,759
Speaker 1: Matt Lafleur. Those two guys, now, I've got a rhythm

1834
01:36:06,800 --> 01:36:10,519
Speaker 1: and a relationship and they've evolved a little bit. That

1835
01:36:10,600 --> 01:36:15,080
Speaker 1: was the big criticism of Mike McCarthy when he was

1836
01:36:15,120 --> 01:36:16,720
Speaker 1: a head coach of the Green Bay Packers, and in

1837
01:36:16,960 --> 01:36:19,240
Speaker 1: year thirteen he was still running the same stuff that

1838
01:36:19,280 --> 01:36:21,320
Speaker 1: he was running in year one, and that you just

1839
01:36:21,360 --> 01:36:23,479
Speaker 1: can't do that in the NFL. And Aaron Rodgers kept

1840
01:36:23,479 --> 01:36:27,040
Speaker 1: that thing afloat for a long time. Now, with an

1841
01:36:27,120 --> 01:36:30,559
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator who's up to speed and ahead of it

1842
01:36:30,600 --> 01:36:35,760
Speaker 1: in year whatever, he's knocking it dead. And I think

1843
01:36:35,840 --> 01:36:38,200
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy and Dallas, I think in that year off,

1844
01:36:38,760 --> 01:36:40,720
Speaker 1: I think he learned a few things. I think he's

1845
01:36:40,760 --> 01:36:43,040
Speaker 1: doing it a little differently his second goal around as

1846
01:36:43,040 --> 01:36:44,519
Speaker 1: a head coach in Dallas, he may want to do

1847
01:36:44,640 --> 01:36:47,559
Speaker 1: defense a little differently. Though. Yeah, Well don't everybody though,

1848
01:36:47,560 --> 01:36:50,639
Speaker 1: I mean, good grief, you know. Yeah, but Dallas has

1849
01:36:50,640 --> 01:36:52,639
Speaker 1: got to score forty a week to have a chance

1850
01:36:52,680 --> 01:36:57,520
Speaker 1: to win forty Dallas is Yeah, I think it's steamrolled

1851
01:36:57,600 --> 01:36:59,719
Speaker 1: every single week. All right, We got to take a break.

1852
01:37:00,000 --> 01:37:02,120
Speaker 1: But when we come back our number three of the show,

1853
01:37:02,400 --> 01:37:05,360
Speaker 1: we'll hear from Sean McDermott, Brian Dable, and Leslie Frasier,

1854
01:37:05,439 --> 01:37:07,559
Speaker 1: all of whom spoke to the media yesterday. We'll get

1855
01:37:07,560 --> 01:37:10,120
Speaker 1: the updates from them when we return. Here on one

1856
01:37:10,160 --> 01:37:26,320
Speaker 1: Bill's Live, presented by Kalida Health, This is Buffalo Bill's Radio. Hello,

1857
01:37:26,400 --> 01:37:31,160
Speaker 1: Bill's Radio Network Sports Date. Your sports update from one

1858
01:37:31,200 --> 01:37:35,080
Speaker 1: Bill's Drive involves Bill's injuries. Matt Milano week to week

1859
01:37:35,120 --> 01:37:37,760
Speaker 1: with a pectoral injury, Levi Wallace also week to week

1860
01:37:37,760 --> 01:37:40,520
Speaker 1: with an ankle injury that according to ED coach Sean McDermott,

01:37:40,760 --> 01:37:43,000
Speaker 1: Brian Winter's day to day with a knee injury, and

1862
01:37:43,040 --> 01:37:46,160
Speaker 1: Cody Ford also mentioned by coach McDermott. Will get an

1863
01:37:46,240 --> 01:37:48,080
Speaker 1: update on all those players when the team hits the

1864
01:37:48,120 --> 01:37:51,719
Speaker 1: practice field on Wednesday. Some good news for the Bill's

1865
01:37:51,880 --> 01:37:54,759
Speaker 1: next opponent, the Titans continue to trend in the right direction,

1866
01:37:54,800 --> 01:37:57,360
Speaker 1: one week after a COVID nineteen outbreak shut down the

1867
01:37:57,400 --> 01:38:01,559
Speaker 1: team's facility. For the second straight DAYVID nineteen testing returned

1868
01:38:01,800 --> 01:38:06,320
Speaker 1: zero positive results the Tuesday's results, there is potential that

1869
01:38:06,439 --> 01:38:10,040
Speaker 1: Tennessee's facility, which has been closed since September twenty nine,

1870
01:38:10,080 --> 01:38:13,839
Speaker 1: could reopen as early as tomorrow. Last night, the Chiefs

1871
01:38:13,840 --> 01:38:17,040
Speaker 1: defense dominated the Patriots, who were without starting quarterback Cam

1872
01:38:17,040 --> 01:38:20,160
Speaker 1: Newton because of his weekend positive test for COVID, and

1873
01:38:20,240 --> 01:38:23,000
Speaker 1: they beat the Patriots twenty six to ten, creating four

1874
01:38:23,000 --> 01:38:27,160
Speaker 1: turnovers off of quarterbacks Brian Hoyer and Jarrett Stidham. The

1875
01:38:27,240 --> 01:38:30,599
Speaker 1: Chiefs remain undefeated. They play the Raiders on Sunday before

1876
01:38:30,640 --> 01:38:33,719
Speaker 1: next Thursday's matchup with the Bills here in Orchard Park.

1877
01:38:34,160 --> 01:38:37,160
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers continued his hot play despite not having his

1878
01:38:37,240 --> 01:38:40,160
Speaker 1: top two receivers in Monday night's game against the Falcons,

1879
01:38:40,560 --> 01:38:44,160
Speaker 1: four touchdown passes as the Packers moved to three and

1880
01:38:44,200 --> 01:38:47,120
Speaker 1: oz and the Falcons continue to slide. They are winless

1881
01:38:47,400 --> 01:38:51,360
Speaker 1: to start the season. Bill O'Brien rose from head coach

1882
01:38:51,439 --> 01:38:53,760
Speaker 1: to football zar in Houston, but he couldn't survive an

1883
01:38:53,800 --> 01:38:56,519
Speaker 1: o and four start to the twenty twenty season. The

1884
01:38:56,600 --> 01:39:00,360
Speaker 1: Houston Texans fired their coach and GM on Monday after

1885
01:39:00,400 --> 01:39:03,679
Speaker 1: more than six seasons with the organization. Associate head coach

1886
01:39:03,760 --> 01:39:07,600
Speaker 1: Romeo Crenell takes over as interim head coach. Finally, a

1887
01:39:07,640 --> 01:39:11,160
Speaker 1: handful of games for the Major League Baseball Playoffs. Starting

1888
01:39:11,200 --> 01:39:13,880
Speaker 1: things off will be the Marlins and Braves as they

1889
01:39:14,000 --> 01:39:16,639
Speaker 1: kick off game one of their series Astros and A's

1890
01:39:16,720 --> 01:39:20,000
Speaker 1: later this afternoon, and then tonight it's the Yankees and Rays,

1891
01:39:20,479 --> 01:39:24,639
Speaker 1: with the nightcap being the Padres and the Dodgers. That's

1892
01:39:24,640 --> 01:39:27,720
Speaker 1: your sports update from one Bill's Drive, our number three

1893
01:39:27,720 --> 01:39:31,120
Speaker 1: of the program getting underway now Chris Brown, Steve Tasker

1894
01:39:31,160 --> 01:39:33,200
Speaker 1: with you with a Tuesday edition of One Bills Live

1895
01:39:33,240 --> 01:39:37,840
Speaker 1: as we're broadcasting from the Seneca Studios here in Orchard Park,

1896
01:39:37,920 --> 01:39:40,680
Speaker 1: and Steve, we did want to get to some comments

1897
01:39:41,720 --> 01:39:46,320
Speaker 1: made by coach McDermott regarding the injuries and where the

1898
01:39:46,400 --> 01:39:50,519
Speaker 1: defense is at after an improved and improved performance last

1899
01:39:50,520 --> 01:39:53,120
Speaker 1: week against the Raiders, and we'll also hear from Brian

1900
01:39:53,200 --> 01:39:55,519
Speaker 1: Table and Leslie Fraser. So we're going to do that now,

1901
01:39:55,880 --> 01:39:59,680
Speaker 1: and we begin with one Sean McDermott, who commented on

1902
01:39:59,720 --> 01:40:03,000
Speaker 1: this second half that his defense put together against the Raiders,

1903
01:40:03,040 --> 01:40:09,599
Speaker 1: which included those three consecutive possessions where they got key stops. Really,

1904
01:40:09,640 --> 01:40:13,559
Speaker 1: I thought their personality started to show John with how

1905
01:40:13,560 --> 01:40:16,240
Speaker 1: they played. They were playing, uh like their hair was

1906
01:40:16,280 --> 01:40:20,160
Speaker 1: on fire, with a great attitude, and they were attacking

1907
01:40:20,160 --> 01:40:23,920
Speaker 1: the opponent, starting with Josh's punch out near the sideline

1908
01:40:23,960 --> 01:40:27,360
Speaker 1: and then a couple of other key stops at Oliver

1909
01:40:27,439 --> 01:40:29,639
Speaker 1: on the fourth and one, and then also Q Jeff's

1910
01:40:30,360 --> 01:40:34,000
Speaker 1: sack and fumble and fumble recovery there. So the rush,

1911
01:40:34,400 --> 01:40:37,000
Speaker 1: the rush was complimenting the covers, and the covers was

1912
01:40:37,040 --> 01:40:39,599
Speaker 1: complimenting the rush. Better than the head to that point

1913
01:40:40,800 --> 01:40:44,960
Speaker 1: in the game. So yeah, I mean, I think it's

1914
01:40:45,000 --> 01:40:47,120
Speaker 1: in line with a lot of what we all thought about.

1915
01:40:47,160 --> 01:40:49,960
Speaker 1: Their defense had felt different. All of a sudden, they

1916
01:40:49,960 --> 01:40:52,839
Speaker 1: started to get a little bit more push in the pocket.

1917
01:40:52,880 --> 01:40:55,200
Speaker 1: Derek carl though he didn't get sacked all that many

1918
01:40:55,240 --> 01:40:58,320
Speaker 1: times aside from the sack, strip fumble and maybe maybe

1919
01:40:58,400 --> 01:41:01,240
Speaker 1: one other sack. I'm not shouldn't, but it just seemed

1920
01:41:01,280 --> 01:41:03,600
Speaker 1: like he wasn't as comfortable in the second half of

1921
01:41:03,600 --> 01:41:05,280
Speaker 1: that game. It started to get to him and things

1922
01:41:05,280 --> 01:41:09,360
Speaker 1: started to change in the secondary. I just thought the

1923
01:41:09,400 --> 01:41:14,080
Speaker 1: defense played a little bit better. Don't know, I couldn't

1924
01:41:14,120 --> 01:41:16,240
Speaker 1: quantify it any other way than that, but I saw it,

1925
01:41:16,240 --> 01:41:19,120
Speaker 1: and I remember thinking it during the game, and now

1926
01:41:19,160 --> 01:41:22,439
Speaker 1: that you know, a couple of days after, I agree

1927
01:41:22,479 --> 01:41:24,479
Speaker 1: with him. I think their personality started to come out.

1928
01:41:24,720 --> 01:41:27,880
Speaker 1: Coach also addressed his offensive line. We know the last

1929
01:41:27,880 --> 01:41:31,040
Speaker 1: two weeks it has been Brian Winters at right guard

1930
01:41:31,520 --> 01:41:35,040
Speaker 1: Cody Ford at left guard, but Brian Winters left the

1931
01:41:35,080 --> 01:41:37,960
Speaker 1: game with a knee injury and was replaced at right

1932
01:41:38,000 --> 01:41:40,759
Speaker 1: guard with Quentin Spain. Brian Dable saying he just wanted

1933
01:41:40,760 --> 01:41:43,240
Speaker 1: to replace one position not changed two for the sake

1934
01:41:43,280 --> 01:41:46,120
Speaker 1: of addressing one. So he left Cody Ford at left guard,

1935
01:41:46,120 --> 01:41:48,040
Speaker 1: even though he began the season on the right side,

1936
01:41:48,280 --> 01:41:51,280
Speaker 1: and put Quintin Spain at right guard. But here's coach

1937
01:41:51,360 --> 01:41:56,320
Speaker 1: McDermott talking about Cody Ford playing inside as opposed to tackle,

1938
01:41:56,360 --> 01:42:00,360
Speaker 1: where he played most of his rookie season. You can

1939
01:42:00,479 --> 01:42:03,880
Speaker 1: hurt yourself if you move a guy around too much. So, um,

1940
01:42:04,240 --> 01:42:06,280
Speaker 1: you know, he's playing guard and that's where we plan

1941
01:42:06,400 --> 01:42:09,200
Speaker 1: on keeping him to this point. At this point, um,

1942
01:42:10,320 --> 01:42:12,240
Speaker 1: you know, and he's I'll tell you that he's a

1943
01:42:12,240 --> 01:42:15,400
Speaker 1: tough soccer man's he played through some things yesterday and

1944
01:42:16,640 --> 01:42:19,320
Speaker 1: I know he's on the injury report today, but uh,

1945
01:42:19,600 --> 01:42:21,960
Speaker 1: you know, a lot of respect for how he plays

1946
01:42:22,000 --> 01:42:25,000
Speaker 1: and how he's able to push through things mentally. Yeah,

1947
01:42:25,040 --> 01:42:27,600
Speaker 1: so we'll have to see he's gonna presumably be on

1948
01:42:27,640 --> 01:42:29,639
Speaker 1: the injury injury and to day too. So now you've

1949
01:42:29,680 --> 01:42:33,080
Speaker 1: got Brian Winters and Cody Forward the two starting guards

1950
01:42:33,120 --> 01:42:35,280
Speaker 1: the last two weeks, John Feliciano who are probably going

1951
01:42:35,320 --> 01:42:37,599
Speaker 1: to be on the injury report, and Feliciano is still

1952
01:42:37,600 --> 01:42:39,920
Speaker 1: on IR. So now you're now you're looking at Quentin

1953
01:42:40,000 --> 01:42:44,479
Speaker 1: Spain and but and I Butker' is an option. Ryan

1954
01:42:44,560 --> 01:42:47,280
Speaker 1: Bates is an option. So we'll have to see where

1955
01:42:47,280 --> 01:42:49,760
Speaker 1: it goes this week. It's going to get interesting. The

1956
01:42:49,800 --> 01:42:54,080
Speaker 1: injuries are starting to be a concern, which is something

1957
01:42:54,120 --> 01:42:56,400
Speaker 1: new to this franchise. Over the last two or three years,

1958
01:42:56,400 --> 01:43:00,120
Speaker 1: they've been really healthy for the most part. And I

1959
01:43:00,160 --> 01:43:02,360
Speaker 1: thought about it during the game this last week. Man,

1960
01:43:02,920 --> 01:43:04,719
Speaker 1: there was a ton of guys staying on the ground

1961
01:43:04,760 --> 01:43:06,760
Speaker 1: even for the Raiders. For the Raiders as well, and

1962
01:43:06,880 --> 01:43:09,240
Speaker 1: that was a natural grass field. The field looked fantastic.

1963
01:43:09,240 --> 01:43:11,800
Speaker 1: I don't know, I haven't heard a little bit it was,

1964
01:43:11,880 --> 01:43:14,320
Speaker 1: but you know, you can live with that. And I

1965
01:43:14,600 --> 01:43:16,160
Speaker 1: saw a couple of guys slip and fall and go

1966
01:43:16,200 --> 01:43:18,720
Speaker 1: down that way. In fact, you know Levi Wallace, you

1967
01:43:18,760 --> 01:43:21,840
Speaker 1: could almost say that maybe the ankle was because of

1968
01:43:21,880 --> 01:43:23,599
Speaker 1: the turf, and I don't think one of those injuries

1969
01:43:23,640 --> 01:43:26,840
Speaker 1: you see on artificial surface, YE see an ankle very

1970
01:43:26,920 --> 01:43:29,320
Speaker 1: like that. It was very straight off. Was very strange,

1971
01:43:29,360 --> 01:43:32,280
Speaker 1: no question about it. And I don't know how long

1972
01:43:32,439 --> 01:43:34,800
Speaker 1: Levi Wallace is gonna be out, but he was hurting.

1973
01:43:35,080 --> 01:43:37,240
Speaker 1: Coach said he was a weak Yeah, you didn't say

1974
01:43:37,320 --> 01:43:39,960
Speaker 1: day to day, said week to week. Uh, that's a

1975
01:43:39,960 --> 01:43:43,640
Speaker 1: bigger injury. And so I'm I am concerned about the

1976
01:43:43,680 --> 01:43:46,080
Speaker 1: injuries and how they're piling up. I haven't kept track

1977
01:43:46,080 --> 01:43:48,640
Speaker 1: of other other teams around the league. I know this,

1978
01:43:48,680 --> 01:43:51,320
Speaker 1: They're going to see a pretty healthy Titans team other

1979
01:43:51,360 --> 01:43:53,639
Speaker 1: than the guys that are off on the COVID list. Yeah,

1980
01:43:54,000 --> 01:43:56,280
Speaker 1: I think health health wise, they're probably in a pretty

1981
01:43:56,280 --> 01:43:58,400
Speaker 1: good spot. Because I know this, When you get a

1982
01:43:58,400 --> 01:44:01,400
Speaker 1: week off in the regular season as a player, it

1983
01:44:01,439 --> 01:44:04,840
Speaker 1: feels like a month. You feel great after a week off,

1984
01:44:05,240 --> 01:44:08,360
Speaker 1: and it's it's a stark contrast to a team who's,

1985
01:44:08,400 --> 01:44:10,200
Speaker 1: you know, grinding it out week and week and week,

1986
01:44:10,240 --> 01:44:11,920
Speaker 1: and then you got a Thursday night game next, and

1987
01:44:11,960 --> 01:44:14,840
Speaker 1: it's just it just grinds on you mentally as well

1988
01:44:14,880 --> 01:44:17,719
Speaker 1: as not giving enough time to recover physically. Brian Dable,

1989
01:44:17,840 --> 01:44:22,680
Speaker 1: the Bill's offensive coordinator, was asked yesterday about how to

1990
01:44:22,920 --> 01:44:25,960
Speaker 1: handle some of the poor decisions that Josh made. Whether

1991
01:44:26,000 --> 01:44:29,519
Speaker 1: it was the flip toss that led to his shoulder

1992
01:44:29,560 --> 01:44:32,320
Speaker 1: injury when he was under duress, or whether it was

1993
01:44:32,360 --> 01:44:34,559
Speaker 1: holding onto the ball too long and taking a sack

1994
01:44:34,600 --> 01:44:37,240
Speaker 1: to take the team out of field goal range, depriving

1995
01:44:37,240 --> 01:44:39,439
Speaker 1: them of an opportunity to go up by seventeen and

1996
01:44:39,479 --> 01:44:42,679
Speaker 1: make it a three score game. Brian Dable basically said,

1997
01:44:42,680 --> 01:44:46,280
Speaker 1: hey man, the poor decisions are few and far between,

1998
01:44:46,640 --> 01:44:51,280
Speaker 1: so I'm not doing anything. I got a lot of confidence.

1999
01:44:51,280 --> 01:44:55,080
Speaker 1: And Josh, you know, some of those plays turned into

2000
01:44:55,080 --> 01:44:59,320
Speaker 1: a really big place too, So you know, he knows

2001
01:44:59,360 --> 01:45:02,200
Speaker 1: that there's certain things that like we all do which

2002
01:45:02,320 --> 01:45:05,280
Speaker 1: we had back and he just continues to learn from it,

2003
01:45:05,320 --> 01:45:07,240
Speaker 1: and you know, we can go through the tape and

2004
01:45:07,280 --> 01:45:10,240
Speaker 1: we may make the corrections. And you know, I think

2005
01:45:10,240 --> 01:45:12,719
Speaker 1: there was this thirty second game somewhere around there are startings.

2006
01:45:12,760 --> 01:45:15,959
Speaker 1: So UM, you know, I have a lot of confidence

2007
01:45:16,000 --> 01:45:18,240
Speaker 1: in him that you know, he'll make the right decision

2008
01:45:18,240 --> 01:45:20,720
Speaker 1: when he needs to make the right decision. And some

2009
01:45:20,760 --> 01:45:24,080
Speaker 1: of the loose plays that he makes, UM will never

2010
01:45:24,080 --> 01:45:26,439
Speaker 1: take those away from him. He tries to get better

2011
01:45:26,439 --> 01:45:29,400
Speaker 1: each week with things. You know, it's not like we

2012
01:45:29,439 --> 01:45:32,320
Speaker 1: want to go out there and and have bad plays happen, um,

2013
01:45:32,360 --> 01:45:34,120
Speaker 1: And it's our job to coach him. It's his job

2014
01:45:34,200 --> 01:45:36,479
Speaker 1: to learn from him and correct them. So when he

2015
01:45:36,520 --> 01:45:39,720
Speaker 1: gets into a situation like that, again, UM, you know,

2016
01:45:40,920 --> 01:45:45,200
Speaker 1: maybe a better decision, but again you know there's decisions

2017
01:45:45,200 --> 01:45:49,120
Speaker 1: sometimes that he makes where he scrambles away and looks

2018
01:45:49,120 --> 01:45:51,599
Speaker 1: down field and makes a play or uses his legs.

2019
01:45:52,120 --> 01:45:54,760
Speaker 1: Those are winning plays for a team and they're tough

2020
01:45:54,800 --> 01:45:58,479
Speaker 1: to defend. So you know, never gonna take that away

2021
01:45:58,520 --> 01:46:01,880
Speaker 1: from him because that's part of his game. And I

2022
01:46:01,920 --> 01:46:04,280
Speaker 1: have enough trust that he'll do what he needs to

2023
01:46:04,320 --> 01:46:08,599
Speaker 1: do to help his team win. I've said, you think

2024
01:46:08,600 --> 01:46:12,479
Speaker 1: about that game last week in Vegas. There were three

2025
01:46:12,800 --> 01:46:16,240
Speaker 1: there were three like Archib like Kyle Brand, three Sugar High.

2026
01:46:16,320 --> 01:46:19,519
Speaker 1: Josh plays three of them, and I'll get I'll remember,

2027
01:46:19,560 --> 01:46:21,799
Speaker 1: You'll remember when I tell you when he was running

2028
01:46:21,840 --> 01:46:24,360
Speaker 1: off to his left and he flipped that ball sideways

2029
01:46:24,400 --> 01:46:26,479
Speaker 1: to Isam McKenzie. McKenzie wasn't ready for it went out

2030
01:46:26,479 --> 01:46:29,000
Speaker 1: of bounds. It was a nothing play. He got a

2031
01:46:29,040 --> 01:46:32,360
Speaker 1: gain out of it. But if mackenzie catches that and

2032
01:46:32,439 --> 01:46:35,439
Speaker 1: goes it's another five seven, maybe a touchdown, it's a

2033
01:46:35,439 --> 01:46:39,000
Speaker 1: bigger play. That's the first one. The second one was

2034
01:46:39,040 --> 01:46:40,719
Speaker 1: the flip forward of Digs when he got his shoulder

2035
01:46:40,760 --> 01:46:42,639
Speaker 1: hurt when he flipped. Can you imagine if that ball

2036
01:46:42,640 --> 01:46:45,639
Speaker 1: wouldn't have picked off, what people would be saying about

2037
01:46:45,720 --> 01:46:49,000
Speaker 1: Josh right. That could have been disastrous as it was.

2038
01:46:49,200 --> 01:46:51,320
Speaker 1: It was a it was a completion. He got a

2039
01:46:51,320 --> 01:46:54,000
Speaker 1: first down. No, he didn't get a first down. He

2040
01:46:54,040 --> 01:46:55,439
Speaker 1: was short of the first down, but that, you know,

2041
01:46:55,560 --> 01:46:58,800
Speaker 1: think about that going the other way, right, somebody picks

2042
01:46:58,800 --> 01:47:00,840
Speaker 1: it off and goes the distance he would have been.

2043
01:47:00,960 --> 01:47:03,080
Speaker 1: He would have been vilified for that, right. So then

2044
01:47:03,160 --> 01:47:05,160
Speaker 1: that's the second one. And the third one was the

2045
01:47:05,200 --> 01:47:07,439
Speaker 1: bad sack he took when he was drunk and he

2046
01:47:07,560 --> 01:47:09,479
Speaker 1: was you know, they were trying to get him, and

2047
01:47:09,479 --> 01:47:15,400
Speaker 1: he had the drunk muscles like he was throwing everybody

2048
01:47:15,439 --> 01:47:16,800
Speaker 1: off of him. And he throws and he gets the

2049
01:47:16,840 --> 01:47:19,280
Speaker 1: face mask call and these and you know, and they

2050
01:47:19,320 --> 01:47:22,240
Speaker 1: they're out of field goal range. Those are three plays

2051
01:47:22,280 --> 01:47:25,799
Speaker 1: in that game against Vegas out of sixty out of sixty,

2052
01:47:25,840 --> 01:47:28,080
Speaker 1: two of them went against him. One of them went

2053
01:47:28,120 --> 01:47:31,479
Speaker 1: for him. But they were all both of them rolls

2054
01:47:31,479 --> 01:47:34,120
Speaker 1: of the dice, and none of them were catastrophic. None

2055
01:47:34,120 --> 01:47:37,480
Speaker 1: of them were catastrophic. So it was kind of a push.

2056
01:47:37,520 --> 01:47:40,080
Speaker 1: Even the flip forward, the digs, the one he completed

2057
01:47:40,280 --> 01:47:44,400
Speaker 1: wasn't a first down, you know, so they were kind

2058
01:47:44,400 --> 01:47:49,240
Speaker 1: of a push. Now, how often those things happen, and

2059
01:47:49,280 --> 01:47:50,760
Speaker 1: how often are they gonna help you and how often

2060
01:47:50,800 --> 01:47:54,280
Speaker 1: they gonna like go on either into the spectrum. If

2061
01:47:54,320 --> 01:47:56,960
Speaker 1: you have three plays like that in a game and

2062
01:47:57,160 --> 01:47:59,240
Speaker 1: three of them go against you, or if you have

2063
01:47:59,320 --> 01:48:01,200
Speaker 1: three plays like that and they go for you. It's

2064
01:48:01,200 --> 01:48:05,120
Speaker 1: the difference between between being up twenty laughing stock Josh

2065
01:48:05,120 --> 01:48:10,160
Speaker 1: Allen or MVP Josh Allen, and your team reflects those benefits.

2066
01:48:10,200 --> 01:48:12,680
Speaker 1: But I think it was important to take note of

2067
01:48:12,720 --> 01:48:15,680
Speaker 1: what Brian Dable said. I mean, it's as clear as

2068
01:48:15,760 --> 01:48:21,439
Speaker 1: day this offensive coordinator trusts Josh implicitly yea, and he

2069
01:48:21,520 --> 01:48:27,559
Speaker 1: will take two or three poor decisions because the good

2070
01:48:28,200 --> 01:48:32,479
Speaker 1: has so far outweighed the bad this year, right. I mean,

2071
01:48:32,640 --> 01:48:36,320
Speaker 1: we got to think about this. Steve, Okay, he threw

2072
01:48:36,360 --> 01:48:41,000
Speaker 1: the ball like forty times last week. He had ten incompletions. Okay,

2073
01:48:41,040 --> 01:48:43,840
Speaker 1: he threw the ball thirty five times the week before

2074
01:48:43,880 --> 01:48:48,320
Speaker 1: he had nine incompletions. When if we ever said that

2075
01:48:48,520 --> 01:48:51,680
Speaker 1: Josh Allen was going to have fewer than ten incompletions

2076
01:48:51,720 --> 01:48:54,360
Speaker 1: in a football game. I mean, you think about his

2077
01:48:54,400 --> 01:48:56,120
Speaker 1: first couple of starts in the league. He was like

2078
01:48:56,200 --> 01:49:00,519
Speaker 1: ten for twenty six, you know, nine for two twenty four.

2079
01:49:01,800 --> 01:49:05,120
Speaker 1: Now he's twenty four of thirty four. He's twenty eight

2080
01:49:05,160 --> 01:49:10,880
Speaker 1: of thirty nine. I mean the leap is heath gigantic.

2081
01:49:11,520 --> 01:49:13,960
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you what he had. He threw it

2082
01:49:14,040 --> 01:49:17,679
Speaker 1: thirty four times. He had ten incompletions. He had how

2083
01:49:17,680 --> 01:49:22,680
Speaker 1: many throwaways? Four? How many drops? Four? So think about that,

2084
01:49:23,200 --> 01:49:26,400
Speaker 1: think about it. He's in act. He was probably inaccurate

2085
01:49:26,439 --> 01:49:29,640
Speaker 1: on four passes. I counted two. I counted two, and

2086
01:49:29,680 --> 01:49:32,000
Speaker 1: they were both short flats to low and wide low

2087
01:49:32,040 --> 01:49:33,800
Speaker 1: and wide to the tight end off the left side,

2088
01:49:33,800 --> 01:49:36,320
Speaker 1: one to Croft, one to Knox. And he hurried both

2089
01:49:36,360 --> 01:49:38,080
Speaker 1: of them, or he hurried the Knox throw. I know

2090
01:49:38,520 --> 01:49:41,519
Speaker 1: the other boar drops. That's how That's how good he's

2091
01:49:41,560 --> 01:49:43,920
Speaker 1: playing right now. He had at one point, I told

2092
01:49:43,960 --> 01:49:46,320
Speaker 1: you this earlier in the week. He was fourteen of eighteen.

2093
01:49:47,439 --> 01:49:49,880
Speaker 1: Three of them were throwaways, and the other one was

2094
01:49:49,920 --> 01:49:53,000
Speaker 1: an easy throw to Diggs that Diggs just flat dropped.

2095
01:49:53,080 --> 01:49:54,800
Speaker 1: He was right on his helmet, run on his face mask,

2096
01:49:54,840 --> 01:49:56,439
Speaker 1: out in front of him, and he dropped it. That

2097
01:49:56,560 --> 01:49:59,400
Speaker 1: was the only four incompletions he had at one point

2098
01:49:59,400 --> 01:50:04,200
Speaker 1: out of his first eighteen attempts. He's playing great. Don't

2099
01:50:04,280 --> 01:50:08,320
Speaker 1: just go that's just like just go. Yeah. And that

2100
01:50:08,560 --> 01:50:11,760
Speaker 1: is why when Brian Dabele was asked, why are you

2101
01:50:11,840 --> 01:50:14,280
Speaker 1: taking that shot play and trying to get it all

2102
01:50:14,280 --> 01:50:16,799
Speaker 1: in one play after the turnover? Why are you staying

2103
01:50:16,880 --> 01:50:20,519
Speaker 1: that aggressive? Ryan Dabe will explain that as well. Yesterday.

2104
01:50:22,240 --> 01:50:26,200
Speaker 1: We want to attack and the only way to do

2105
01:50:26,240 --> 01:50:29,479
Speaker 1: that is have confidence in the you know, the pass catchers.

2106
01:50:29,560 --> 01:50:31,400
Speaker 1: You know, you got it starts up front with with

2107
01:50:31,439 --> 01:50:34,919
Speaker 1: giving Josh time to throw it. But the more you

2108
01:50:34,920 --> 01:50:37,000
Speaker 1: you throw and you catch and you're out there in

2109
01:50:37,040 --> 01:50:40,000
Speaker 1: the practice field doing those things, the more confidence that

2110
01:50:40,080 --> 01:50:43,080
Speaker 1: you have. So you know, sometimes when gods are covered,

2111
01:50:44,240 --> 01:50:46,280
Speaker 1: they're not covered if you have enough confidence in them

2112
01:50:46,280 --> 01:50:48,040
Speaker 1: to give them an opportunity and then they got to

2113
01:50:48,080 --> 01:50:51,519
Speaker 1: go ahead and do it. Um For example, the Dig's

2114
01:50:51,560 --> 01:50:53,960
Speaker 1: catch yesterday or the smoke catch down there on a

2115
01:50:54,040 --> 01:50:56,240
Speaker 1: goal line where it was you know, a tight window

2116
01:50:57,479 --> 01:51:00,880
Speaker 1: that's built between player and player that starts, you know,

2117
01:51:01,000 --> 01:51:04,800
Speaker 1: whether it's in the offseason or practice. You gotta have

2118
01:51:04,840 --> 01:51:06,200
Speaker 1: a lot of trust in that guy that when you

2119
01:51:06,280 --> 01:51:08,639
Speaker 1: let it rip, he's coming down with it or nobody's

2120
01:51:08,680 --> 01:51:12,120
Speaker 1: coming down with it. And those are the exact two

2121
01:51:12,120 --> 01:51:14,400
Speaker 1: plays that we talked about yesterday on the show. I

2122
01:51:14,400 --> 01:51:16,640
Speaker 1: don't know if Josh makes those throws last year. I

2123
01:51:16,640 --> 01:51:19,320
Speaker 1: don't know if he attempts them because the windows so tight.

2124
01:51:19,439 --> 01:51:22,000
Speaker 1: He might make him, but he won't won't complete him,

2125
01:51:22,040 --> 01:51:24,439
Speaker 1: you know. I mean it's that throw to Diggs and

2126
01:51:24,520 --> 01:51:27,439
Speaker 1: also in the game LA game, the throw to Davis

2127
01:51:27,520 --> 01:51:30,559
Speaker 1: down the near sideline where Davis just stayed in bounds.

2128
01:51:30,640 --> 01:51:33,680
Speaker 1: Those two throws. Now that throw, and I think he

2129
01:51:33,720 --> 01:51:35,400
Speaker 1: could have still could have made better throws than the

2130
01:51:35,400 --> 01:51:37,000
Speaker 1: ones he made. He should have thrown it way out

2131
01:51:37,000 --> 01:51:38,960
Speaker 1: in front of more in front of Diggs, and he scores.

2132
01:51:39,320 --> 01:51:42,400
Speaker 1: Same thing in the Davis play against LA down the sidelines.

2133
01:51:42,479 --> 01:51:44,519
Speaker 1: He if he throws out a little bit further inside,

2134
01:51:44,600 --> 01:51:47,360
Speaker 1: Davis still gets it and he's off and running. So

2135
01:51:48,280 --> 01:51:51,720
Speaker 1: I'll take the completions. But even when Josh looks at those,

2136
01:51:51,720 --> 01:51:53,040
Speaker 1: he's gonna say, man, if I you know, if it

2137
01:51:53,120 --> 01:51:54,880
Speaker 1: had been here instead of there, let him out to

2138
01:51:54,920 --> 01:51:56,599
Speaker 1: the right a little bit more. There's a lot going

2139
01:51:56,640 --> 01:51:59,880
Speaker 1: on there. And I think the fact that they're four

2140
01:52:00,400 --> 01:52:04,960
Speaker 1: and nobody me, you, anybody in the locker room on

2141
01:52:05,000 --> 01:52:06,880
Speaker 1: that roster, and none of the coaching staffs, and I

2142
01:52:06,920 --> 01:52:08,360
Speaker 1: don't think any of the fans have seen this team

2143
01:52:08,360 --> 01:52:10,760
Speaker 1: play as good as they can play, So take it

2144
01:52:10,880 --> 01:52:13,080
Speaker 1: and go on. But I still I'm with Brian Dable.

2145
01:52:13,880 --> 01:52:17,120
Speaker 1: Attack it, let's go, let's get better. Let's get better

2146
01:52:17,160 --> 01:52:20,000
Speaker 1: through trying everything well. And we've heard Bill's fans talk

2147
01:52:20,040 --> 01:52:23,000
Speaker 1: about this too. I'd like to see this team step

2148
01:52:23,000 --> 01:52:25,439
Speaker 1: on somebody's throat and just end the thing so we're

2149
01:52:25,439 --> 01:52:28,320
Speaker 1: not biting our fingernails, you know, the last seven eight

2150
01:52:28,360 --> 01:52:30,479
Speaker 1: minutes of the game. So to see that aggressive approach

2151
01:52:30,520 --> 01:52:32,439
Speaker 1: I think is a welcome thing. The problem is they

2152
01:52:32,840 --> 01:52:34,760
Speaker 1: feel like they do end it, and that's just too

2153
01:52:34,800 --> 01:52:37,200
Speaker 1: they'd get it done so early. There's too much time left,

2154
01:52:37,240 --> 01:52:39,240
Speaker 1: you know. And these teams are good, and that's you know,

2155
01:52:39,400 --> 01:52:42,000
Speaker 1: when a team gets desperate, they tend to pull off

2156
01:52:42,000 --> 01:52:44,759
Speaker 1: some pretty amazing things, even if they've been getting crushed

2157
01:52:44,760 --> 01:52:48,040
Speaker 1: the whole game. I've seen it happen a ton, and

2158
01:52:48,320 --> 01:52:50,040
Speaker 1: you know, that's what the team's running into. And I

2159
01:52:50,080 --> 01:52:52,760
Speaker 1: think probably other teams are as well, but we've seen

2160
01:52:52,760 --> 01:52:56,320
Speaker 1: it firsthand here with Buffalo. They're up twenty five points

2161
01:52:57,000 --> 01:52:59,040
Speaker 1: in the third late in the mid and the third

2162
01:52:59,160 --> 01:53:02,000
Speaker 1: midway through the third quarter. I'm it's like, let's let's

2163
01:53:02,000 --> 01:53:03,640
Speaker 1: get out of here, and it's just too early to

2164
01:53:03,720 --> 01:53:07,160
Speaker 1: do that. Now. We discussed the energy and juice that

2165
01:53:07,320 --> 01:53:11,679
Speaker 1: Josh Norman provided this defense on yesterday's show. Coach Fraser

2166
01:53:11,720 --> 01:53:15,200
Speaker 1: had addressed that very subject in his press conference with

2167
01:53:15,200 --> 01:53:17,320
Speaker 1: the media yesterday. He was here's what he said about that.

2168
01:53:19,479 --> 01:53:22,120
Speaker 1: Watching him in training camp and knowing a little bit

2169
01:53:22,120 --> 01:53:24,600
Speaker 1: of the history of what occurred in Washington, and I

2170
01:53:24,680 --> 01:53:27,040
Speaker 1: could see Johnny had a chip on the shoulder when

2171
01:53:27,040 --> 01:53:29,840
Speaker 1: he came here to prove a lot of prove a

2172
01:53:29,880 --> 01:53:31,559
Speaker 1: lot of things to a lot of people, and that's

2173
01:53:32,000 --> 01:53:33,680
Speaker 1: that's probably gonna be good for us. You know, he

2174
01:53:33,720 --> 01:53:35,479
Speaker 1: wants to show people that he can still do it

2175
01:53:35,520 --> 01:53:37,519
Speaker 1: and do it at a high level. And then he

2176
01:53:37,560 --> 01:53:40,040
Speaker 1: got the injury, and you know he kind of was

2177
01:53:40,640 --> 01:53:43,120
Speaker 1: on the back burning for a little bit. But as

2178
01:53:43,120 --> 01:53:45,840
Speaker 1: he has been working and rehabbing and get back on

2179
01:53:45,920 --> 01:53:48,839
Speaker 1: the field, you can see that energy that he brings.

2180
01:53:48,960 --> 01:53:52,360
Speaker 1: And we saw it yesterday. I mean when Levi went down,

2181
01:53:52,840 --> 01:53:55,160
Speaker 1: but Josh the stepped in and play as well as

2182
01:53:55,200 --> 01:53:58,080
Speaker 1: he did and then come up with that big punch out.

2183
01:53:58,479 --> 01:54:01,639
Speaker 1: I mean that was huge and this whole personality really

2184
01:54:01,720 --> 01:54:04,240
Speaker 1: kind of permeates our whole defense. It was really good

2185
01:54:04,280 --> 01:54:08,640
Speaker 1: to see the energy that he brought, and it's unquestionable

2186
01:54:08,680 --> 01:54:10,760
Speaker 1: there was a ripple effect after that. And you look

2187
01:54:10,760 --> 01:54:13,040
Speaker 1: at the two stops they got after the punch out

2188
01:54:13,040 --> 01:54:16,400
Speaker 1: turnover by Norman, fourth down stop by Ed Oliver who

2189
01:54:16,400 --> 01:54:19,479
Speaker 1: makes a great one on one play, and then that's

2190
01:54:19,479 --> 01:54:22,160
Speaker 1: followed up by Quintin Jefferson who maybe makes the play

2191
01:54:22,200 --> 01:54:25,160
Speaker 1: of the game with the trifecta on the sack strip

2192
01:54:25,280 --> 01:54:30,919
Speaker 1: and fumble recovery. So Frasier addressed something that Quintin Jefferson

2193
01:54:30,920 --> 01:54:34,920
Speaker 1: addressed after the game, how defenses are still adjusting to

2194
01:54:35,080 --> 01:54:38,000
Speaker 1: not having the energy of the fans in the building

2195
01:54:38,680 --> 01:54:41,920
Speaker 1: upon which to rely for maybe some of that little

2196
01:54:41,960 --> 01:54:47,080
Speaker 1: extra juice. Coach Frasier addressed that someone mentioned to me

2197
01:54:47,120 --> 01:54:49,400
Speaker 1: that a week ago, I think it was the highest

2198
01:54:49,440 --> 01:54:53,080
Speaker 1: point total in the history of the league. So yeah,

2199
01:54:53,240 --> 01:54:55,880
Speaker 1: I gotta believe it's a factor. To what degree, It's

2200
01:54:55,920 --> 01:54:58,400
Speaker 1: hard to say, but you know, you do miss the

2201
01:54:58,520 --> 01:55:01,120
Speaker 1: energy of the fans when you a big play on defense,

2202
01:55:01,240 --> 01:55:03,960
Speaker 1: especially when you're at home, and the noise that it

2203
01:55:04,040 --> 01:55:08,080
Speaker 1: can create. So offenses can't just operate like it's practice.

2204
01:55:08,120 --> 01:55:11,600
Speaker 1: You know it. You do miss that, but this is

2205
01:55:11,720 --> 01:55:14,960
Speaker 1: where we are in two thousand and twenties just are different.

2206
01:55:15,040 --> 01:55:18,560
Speaker 1: So you don't have that fan energy, so you do

2207
01:55:18,640 --> 01:55:21,360
Speaker 1: have to bring it, but you still miss the noise

2208
01:55:21,480 --> 01:55:25,000
Speaker 1: factor that you would get from your fans when a

2209
01:55:25,040 --> 01:55:27,680
Speaker 1: big play would occur, and that it makes a difference.

2210
01:55:27,760 --> 01:55:30,200
Speaker 1: I mean, yet you derive a little bit from that energy.

2211
01:55:31,320 --> 01:55:33,800
Speaker 1: It makes a difference, and I think defenses are still

2212
01:55:33,800 --> 01:55:36,360
Speaker 1: trying to get used to it, quite frankly, and they

2213
01:55:36,400 --> 01:55:40,080
Speaker 1: haven't adjusted yet in totality, and I think it has

2214
01:55:40,120 --> 01:55:43,640
Speaker 1: taken away from some of their effectiveness at certain junctures

2215
01:55:43,640 --> 01:55:46,360
Speaker 1: of the game, especially when you're trying to seize that

2216
01:55:46,440 --> 01:55:49,440
Speaker 1: momentum back. So now you make a big play and

2217
01:55:49,480 --> 01:55:51,600
Speaker 1: you feel like you have that momentum, but there's there's

2218
01:55:51,600 --> 01:55:54,640
Speaker 1: no crowd to recognize it for you, and the offense

2219
01:55:54,680 --> 01:55:56,720
Speaker 1: comes back out and they can communicate and bang they

2220
01:55:56,800 --> 01:55:58,120
Speaker 1: hit a big play on you, and all of a sudden,

2221
01:55:58,120 --> 01:56:00,600
Speaker 1: the momentum you just generated it's gone right, And it's

2222
01:56:01,520 --> 01:56:05,040
Speaker 1: it's all about some of it is about emotion, But

2223
01:56:06,240 --> 01:56:08,920
Speaker 1: I'm totally I'm kind of on board with with Leslie

2224
01:56:08,920 --> 01:56:12,600
Speaker 1: Frasier's kind of every every game is different, yeah, you know,

2225
01:56:12,680 --> 01:56:15,040
Speaker 1: and this game is gonna be different than last week's game,

2226
01:56:15,480 --> 01:56:18,880
Speaker 1: just like the Raiders were different than the the Rams game.

2227
01:56:19,760 --> 01:56:22,400
Speaker 1: I'm anxious to see this team take on this type

2228
01:56:22,400 --> 01:56:25,520
Speaker 1: of offense and see how they do defensively. We've we've

2229
01:56:25,520 --> 01:56:29,720
Speaker 1: had our doubts about their run defense. We're gonna get

2230
01:56:29,760 --> 01:56:32,960
Speaker 1: it tested. We'll see, you know. I mean, Titans are

2231
01:56:33,000 --> 01:56:35,200
Speaker 1: not gonna stop running and if it's not working, they're

2232
01:56:35,200 --> 01:56:38,240
Speaker 1: gonna keeping that. This is gonna put It's gonna be

2233
01:56:38,280 --> 01:56:40,560
Speaker 1: a test for the Titans too, because this team is

2234
01:56:40,600 --> 01:56:42,600
Speaker 1: gonna This team's gonna air it out and they better go.

2235
01:56:43,080 --> 01:56:45,200
Speaker 1: They better cover the whole field because this is an

2236
01:56:45,200 --> 01:56:47,560
Speaker 1: offense that can make some space down the field and

2237
01:56:47,640 --> 01:56:50,400
Speaker 1: everything underneath is being is being picked apart that Dorry

2238
01:56:50,520 --> 01:56:52,760
Speaker 1: Jackson as of right now is still on ir for them,

2239
01:56:52,760 --> 01:56:55,480
Speaker 1: one of their top two corners, so they're down that guy.

2240
01:56:55,520 --> 01:56:57,320
Speaker 1: You don't want to be down corners. The week that

2241
01:56:57,360 --> 01:57:01,120
Speaker 1: the Bills are rolling into town, right and that's I've

2242
01:57:01,160 --> 01:57:03,120
Speaker 1: had almost every week. It's so fun to be in

2243
01:57:03,120 --> 01:57:05,320
Speaker 1: this spot as a Bills fan because I want to

2244
01:57:05,360 --> 01:57:07,760
Speaker 1: see our offense play. I want to see our offense

2245
01:57:07,880 --> 01:57:10,120
Speaker 1: it has last last year it was different, you know,

2246
01:57:10,160 --> 01:57:12,000
Speaker 1: he said, let's you know, they're they're gonna they're not

2247
01:57:12,000 --> 01:57:13,960
Speaker 1: gonna score on our defense. We're gonna be all right

2248
01:57:14,240 --> 01:57:17,000
Speaker 1: this year. Let's face it. As fans, it's always much

2249
01:57:17,040 --> 01:57:20,880
Speaker 1: more fun to, you know, to watch your team tear

2250
01:57:20,960 --> 01:57:23,400
Speaker 1: it out and go. Now, we noticed at the end

2251
01:57:23,400 --> 01:57:26,480
Speaker 1: of the game on Sunday that the Bills were dialing

2252
01:57:26,560 --> 01:57:29,800
Speaker 1: up some pressure packages a little bit more often to

2253
01:57:29,880 --> 01:57:32,960
Speaker 1: try to slow car down as he, much like Josh Allen,

2254
01:57:33,000 --> 01:57:35,680
Speaker 1: had a lot of time to throw through long stretches

2255
01:57:35,680 --> 01:57:38,160
Speaker 1: of that game on Sunday. So here is coach Fraser

2256
01:57:38,200 --> 01:57:41,960
Speaker 1: on his tactic to increase the number of blitz packages

2257
01:57:42,000 --> 01:57:46,120
Speaker 1: he threw at Derek Carr. We wanted as much as

2258
01:57:46,120 --> 01:57:48,480
Speaker 1: we could john to try to affect this quarterback, and

2259
01:57:48,600 --> 01:57:52,840
Speaker 1: we were doing it on occasions, but not consistent enough.

2260
01:57:52,880 --> 01:57:55,640
Speaker 1: So we had to change the strategy up a little

2261
01:57:55,640 --> 01:57:58,640
Speaker 1: bit and and do some things that would hopefully get

2262
01:57:58,720 --> 01:58:02,080
Speaker 1: us gone a little bit more. And our players responded

2263
01:58:02,360 --> 01:58:06,680
Speaker 1: and did a really really great job and creating those takeaways,

2264
01:58:06,760 --> 01:58:09,400
Speaker 1: which something we talk about all the time, and how

2265
01:58:09,520 --> 01:58:11,240
Speaker 1: big of a difference it makes in a ball game,

2266
01:58:11,280 --> 01:58:14,080
Speaker 1: and it was really good to see how the guys responded.

2267
01:58:15,240 --> 01:58:17,400
Speaker 1: And that's where it's at. I mean, and they and Steve,

2268
01:58:17,440 --> 01:58:21,680
Speaker 1: as you pointed out yesterday, all that rotation that they

2269
01:58:21,720 --> 01:58:25,320
Speaker 1: have up front, I think it paid dividends late in

2270
01:58:25,360 --> 01:58:28,120
Speaker 1: that game. That offensive line for the Raiders, it's a big,

2271
01:58:28,280 --> 01:58:32,120
Speaker 1: heavy line. You're out there for sixty five seventy plays

2272
01:58:32,560 --> 01:58:34,000
Speaker 1: and you got a guy on the other side of

2273
01:58:34,000 --> 01:58:37,200
Speaker 1: you that you got to go against who's played thirty

2274
01:58:38,080 --> 01:58:40,720
Speaker 1: advantage D line right, and we saw that with Quintin

2275
01:58:40,800 --> 01:58:44,520
Speaker 1: Jefferson's win that that got the fumble out was a bullrush.

2276
01:58:44,600 --> 01:58:46,800
Speaker 1: It was a bull rush and he got it. He

2277
01:58:47,240 --> 01:58:49,360
Speaker 1: got the guard to open up to his to the

2278
01:58:49,360 --> 01:58:51,680
Speaker 1: guard to the right guard opened up to his left

2279
01:58:51,720 --> 01:58:55,120
Speaker 1: shoulder and let Quintin Jefferson kind of slide into the

2280
01:58:55,120 --> 01:58:57,440
Speaker 1: middle of the pocket. Just as Car was stepping up

2281
01:58:57,440 --> 01:59:01,000
Speaker 1: into the pocket, freed up Jefferson's right arm and he

2282
01:59:01,040 --> 01:59:03,240
Speaker 1: just slapped the ball out and Murph and I said

2283
01:59:03,240 --> 01:59:06,600
Speaker 1: it on the broadcast. Remember Car coughed that ball. It

2284
01:59:06,680 --> 01:59:10,160
Speaker 1: laid there for like a week. Nobody could get to

2285
01:59:10,240 --> 01:59:11,960
Speaker 1: the offensive line to the Raiders didn't know it was

2286
01:59:12,000 --> 01:59:16,280
Speaker 1: on the ground, and the defensive lineman Jefferson was getting held. Oh,

2287
01:59:16,280 --> 01:59:18,560
Speaker 1: they were all getting Yeah, I mean that's everybody. I

2288
01:59:18,560 --> 01:59:20,840
Speaker 1: think the guy going up against him knew the ball

2289
01:59:20,880 --> 01:59:22,200
Speaker 1: was out, he didn't know where it was, but he's like,

2290
01:59:22,240 --> 01:59:24,200
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna hang on to him so he can't

2291
01:59:24,240 --> 01:59:26,760
Speaker 1: get it, and he had to kind of squirm free

2292
01:59:26,800 --> 01:59:29,280
Speaker 1: from that guy just to get to the ball. Yeah,

2293
01:59:29,360 --> 01:59:30,840
Speaker 1: it was a good play. It was great player. I

2294
01:59:30,840 --> 01:59:32,920
Speaker 1: thought it was playing a game. Um. I mean, the

2295
01:59:32,960 --> 01:59:36,960
Speaker 1: offense made some spectacular plays, but that play essentially sealed

2296
01:59:36,960 --> 01:59:40,240
Speaker 1: the game for them. So, I don't know, I feel

2297
01:59:40,280 --> 01:59:41,920
Speaker 1: like the DC needs a little love, you know what

2298
01:59:42,000 --> 01:59:44,320
Speaker 1: I mean. Yeah, And they're not getting many headlines right

2299
01:59:44,320 --> 01:59:45,920
Speaker 1: now because the offense is lightening it up. And I

2300
01:59:45,960 --> 01:59:48,120
Speaker 1: get it. I get it. I'm not down on him

2301
01:59:48,120 --> 01:59:50,960
Speaker 1: because that's the that's the NFL this year, in the

2302
01:59:51,000 --> 01:59:54,440
Speaker 1: first month of twenty twenty, right, It's that's totally true.

2303
01:59:54,480 --> 01:59:57,880
Speaker 1: The Bills are not alone in their inability to be

2304
01:59:57,920 --> 02:00:00,440
Speaker 1: the same defense they were a year ago. I just

2305
02:00:00,480 --> 02:00:02,000
Speaker 1: read it off. Yeah. I mean, you look at the

2306
02:00:02,040 --> 02:00:04,640
Speaker 1: top five defense from last year. The only teams that

2307
02:00:04,680 --> 02:00:06,800
Speaker 1: are holding their own right now is New England because

2308
02:00:06,800 --> 02:00:11,320
Speaker 1: they're still a top ten defense, and Chicago, who's ranked eighth.

2309
02:00:11,440 --> 02:00:15,120
Speaker 1: The other top five defense the Bills they're twentieth, the

2310
02:00:15,240 --> 02:00:19,880
Speaker 1: Ravens they're seventeenth, and Minnesota is twenty ninth. Those are

2311
02:00:19,880 --> 02:00:21,960
Speaker 1: your other top five defenses from last The Bills are

2312
02:00:21,960 --> 02:00:25,920
Speaker 1: allowing an average of twenty five points a game. They

2313
02:00:26,000 --> 02:00:34,800
Speaker 1: are one. They're seventeenth in scoring defense ten. Yeah, and

2314
02:00:34,840 --> 02:00:37,440
Speaker 1: they're twenty five. And there's like four teams that are

2315
02:00:37,480 --> 02:00:40,960
Speaker 1: twenty four or twenty. There's like six teams that are

2316
02:00:40,960 --> 02:00:44,040
Speaker 1: twenty four points or lower between them. So they're like

2317
02:00:44,160 --> 02:00:46,120
Speaker 1: righting them right there. So they're in the middle. They're

2318
02:00:46,160 --> 02:00:48,160
Speaker 1: right in the middle of The Colts are the number

2319
02:00:48,200 --> 02:00:50,400
Speaker 1: one team in the league. They're allowing fourteen points a game.

2320
02:00:50,440 --> 02:00:55,480
Speaker 1: That you got Kansas City, you got San Francisco, Baltimore, Ravens, fourth, Pittsburgh.

2321
02:00:56,600 --> 02:01:01,280
Speaker 1: Then you got then from La Chicago, Tampa Bay, Arizona,

2322
02:01:01,320 --> 02:01:04,320
Speaker 1: New England, the Chargers, Miami, you know, and then you

2323
02:01:04,360 --> 02:01:05,920
Speaker 1: get all the way up to above. All those teams

2324
02:01:05,960 --> 02:01:09,280
Speaker 1: are right in the neighborhood of Buffalo. Yeah, so it's

2325
02:01:09,280 --> 02:01:12,280
Speaker 1: a I'm down on our problem. Yeah, it's not a

2326
02:01:12,280 --> 02:01:14,280
Speaker 1: Bills proce. It's not a Bills problem, it's a league problem.

2327
02:01:14,280 --> 02:01:18,760
Speaker 1: And when they start calling holding penalties and it's like that,

2328
02:01:18,920 --> 02:01:21,320
Speaker 1: the Bills will probably play a little better. But as

2329
02:01:21,320 --> 02:01:23,400
Speaker 1: of right now, they're still playing pretty good. If you

2330
02:01:23,440 --> 02:01:25,560
Speaker 1: compare them to the rest of the defenses around the league.

2331
02:01:25,560 --> 02:01:28,160
Speaker 1: All you know, there's always one or two that are

2332
02:01:28,160 --> 02:01:30,840
Speaker 1: playing really good for some reason or other. But I'm

2333
02:01:30,880 --> 02:01:33,000
Speaker 1: not down on our defense at all. All right, break

2334
02:01:33,000 --> 02:01:34,800
Speaker 1: time for us, But when we come back, we'll take

2335
02:01:34,800 --> 02:01:37,360

Speaker 1: couple of locations all around Western New York. It's Eastern

Speaker 1: in a while. And these you always see Stiff like,

2356
02:02:47,360 --> 02:02:49,880
Speaker 1: oh wow, that's a great idea for Bill's logo. You know,

2357
02:02:50,120 --> 02:02:54,080
Speaker 1: that's the first time I've seen Buffalo Bill's moccasins, which

2358
02:02:54,120 --> 02:02:56,120
Speaker 1: a lot of people like to use as slippers around

2359
02:02:56,120 --> 02:02:57,880
Speaker 1: the house at the endtime, you know, the floor is

2360
02:02:57,880 --> 02:02:59,960
Speaker 1: cold and yeah, yeah, gotta throw that and we're getting

2361
02:03:00,120 --> 02:03:02,600
Speaker 1: that time of year. But you know, that's great. I

2362
02:03:02,680 --> 02:03:05,960
Speaker 1: love I love going in shopping for stuff that I

2363
02:03:06,000 --> 02:03:08,880
Speaker 1: didn't know that I had well, And and you know,

2364
02:03:08,880 --> 02:03:11,920
Speaker 1: they bring up a good point, the Buffalo transplants. They're

2365
02:03:11,920 --> 02:03:14,400
Speaker 1: craving that stuff because they can't get it where they are,

2366
02:03:14,520 --> 02:03:17,040
Speaker 1: whether they're you know, out. We imagine trying to get

2367
02:03:17,080 --> 02:03:20,200
Speaker 1: a any piece of bills gear in like Kansas City

2368
02:03:20,480 --> 02:03:24,160
Speaker 1: or Dallas set it. So that's why you know you

2369
02:03:24,200 --> 02:03:25,920
Speaker 1: put those people on your Christmas list and you send

2370
02:03:25,960 --> 02:03:28,280
Speaker 1: them that stuff because you can get it easily. My

2371
02:03:28,320 --> 02:03:30,080
Speaker 1: mom and I, you know, I grew up in the

2372
02:03:30,080 --> 02:03:32,960
Speaker 1: state of Kansas. Well you can imagine, and they live

2373
02:03:33,000 --> 02:03:36,280
Speaker 1: in Wichita or down southeast my mom, I gotta send

2374
02:03:36,320 --> 02:03:39,520
Speaker 1: my mom at josh Allen Jersey, and I gotta do

2375
02:03:39,560 --> 02:03:41,320
Speaker 1: it like this week because she wants to wear it

2376
02:03:41,520 --> 02:03:43,480
Speaker 1: on the day that she say the Chiefs, because all

2377
02:03:43,480 --> 02:03:46,440
Speaker 1: the all the other ninety year old moms over there

2378
02:03:46,480 --> 02:03:50,400
Speaker 1: are wearing their fifteen. They're my homessife. You gotta get

2379
02:03:50,440 --> 02:03:56,080
Speaker 1: me one. Do what you're told, Steve to have done it. Yeah.

2380
02:03:56,200 --> 02:03:58,280
Speaker 1: Back to the tweet sheet, which, as we know, is

2381
02:03:58,280 --> 02:04:00,879
Speaker 1: brought to you by Corrigan Moving Systems, the official equipment

2382
02:04:00,880 --> 02:04:03,920
Speaker 1: moving company of the Buffalo Bills. And we're up to Jack,

2383
02:04:04,120 --> 02:04:07,680
Speaker 1: who says, when asked which bills rookie do you want

2384
02:04:07,680 --> 02:04:09,360
Speaker 1: to see more from? He said, based on their talent,

2385
02:04:09,400 --> 02:04:12,560
Speaker 1: I want to see more from the mall. But I

2386
02:04:12,600 --> 02:04:14,720
Speaker 1: went with Zach Moss. He said in college he was

2387
02:04:14,720 --> 02:04:17,400
Speaker 1: a number one back who showed power hands and a

2388
02:04:17,440 --> 02:04:19,440
Speaker 1: home run ability. I know he's been dinged up, but

2389
02:04:19,480 --> 02:04:21,840
Speaker 1: if he can get going, he is exactly what we

2390
02:04:21,880 --> 02:04:25,200
Speaker 1: need to help provide more balance to our offense and

2391
02:04:25,320 --> 02:04:30,640
Speaker 1: chow clock when needed. You like that, Yep, this makes

2392
02:04:30,640 --> 02:04:32,800
Speaker 1: a lot of sense and I think so too. It's

2393
02:04:32,800 --> 02:04:37,480
Speaker 1: a little bit like the exact same boat we were

2394
02:04:37,480 --> 02:04:40,400
Speaker 1: in with Devin Singletary last year when he got his

2395
02:04:40,440 --> 02:04:42,280
Speaker 1: hamstring a week two. This a little later in the

2396
02:04:42,280 --> 02:04:44,320
Speaker 1: season obviously is week three that he got hurt and

2397
02:04:44,360 --> 02:04:47,600
Speaker 1: with his toe, but you just want to see more

2398
02:04:47,640 --> 02:04:50,640
Speaker 1: from him when he comes back. I'm excited to see

2399
02:04:50,640 --> 02:04:53,120
Speaker 1: where this coaching staff can get him to play. I

2400
02:04:53,160 --> 02:04:55,080
Speaker 1: think there's going to be a time in this season,

2401
02:04:55,160 --> 02:04:57,200
Speaker 1: maybe multiple times in this season, where they're going to

2402
02:04:57,280 --> 02:05:01,880
Speaker 1: depend on their run game exclusively for whatever reason, and

2403
02:05:01,920 --> 02:05:04,760
Speaker 1: they're gonna need all guns blazing to get it done.

2404
02:05:04,800 --> 02:05:07,320
Speaker 1: Is Zach Moss is a big one, so I want

2405
02:05:07,320 --> 02:05:08,760
Speaker 1: to see him come back. I want to see him

2406
02:05:08,920 --> 02:05:10,960
Speaker 1: snap off a big one. We haven't even come close

2407
02:05:11,000 --> 02:05:13,440
Speaker 1: to seeing what he is kid. Have you watched his

2408
02:05:13,760 --> 02:05:20,240
Speaker 1: UTAH tape watches? It's like WHOA I get that guy WHOA,

2409
02:05:20,480 --> 02:05:22,880
Speaker 1: I'm with you, that's it makes a lot of sense.

2410
02:05:22,880 --> 02:05:24,960
Speaker 1: I want to see it because, particularly in a in

2411
02:05:25,000 --> 02:05:29,080
Speaker 1: a year like this where it's all about offense, I

2412
02:05:29,160 --> 02:05:32,680
Speaker 1: want to see Gabriel Davis and Zach Moss do it.

2413
02:05:33,040 --> 02:05:36,000
Speaker 1: You know, and you just you know, we're seeing these

2414
02:05:36,040 --> 02:05:38,880
Speaker 1: highlights now and this is uh, this is Zach Moss

2415
02:05:38,920 --> 02:05:41,080
Speaker 1: we're watching and I think he's playing against Boise State,

2416
02:05:41,400 --> 02:05:45,920
Speaker 1: and you know it's blocked, unbelievably blocked. I mean, he

2417
02:05:46,280 --> 02:05:50,520
Speaker 1: runs like sixty yards and there's nobody around him. But

2418
02:05:51,000 --> 02:05:53,800
Speaker 1: there's other times when you know where he looks and

2419
02:05:54,040 --> 02:05:55,880
Speaker 1: it's like, wow, look at that guy. Made that guy

2420
02:05:55,920 --> 02:06:00,000
Speaker 1: miss like and I'll tell you it's they're gonna need him.

2421
02:06:00,200 --> 02:06:02,720
Speaker 1: They're gonna need him, and I can't wait to see

2422
02:06:02,760 --> 02:06:06,840
Speaker 1: him run. Yeah. From Alan on the tweet sheet, he says,

2423
02:06:07,440 --> 02:06:12,720
Speaker 1: give me more Epanessa. The defense needs his help in

2424
02:06:12,760 --> 02:06:15,000
Speaker 1: the next two games. We will need all hands on

2425
02:06:15,120 --> 02:06:19,480
Speaker 1: deck to win against top offenses. It wouldn't hurt, It

2426
02:06:19,480 --> 02:06:22,800
Speaker 1: wouldn't hurt if AJ flashes a little bit more. Right,

2427
02:06:22,960 --> 02:06:24,320
Speaker 1: you need all the help you can get. You can

2428
02:06:24,320 --> 02:06:27,720
Speaker 1: never have enough pass rushers. I've seen so much in

2429
02:06:27,760 --> 02:06:33,800
Speaker 1: these last games in this month, this season, the defensive

2430
02:06:33,840 --> 02:06:37,000
Speaker 1: philosophy has shown that has shown through to me more

2431
02:06:37,040 --> 02:06:41,120
Speaker 1: than anything is defense is about. It's about one thing,

2432
02:06:42,120 --> 02:06:49,920
Speaker 1: getting turnovers. Guys are punching, grabbing, clawing, scratching everything they can.

2433
02:06:50,080 --> 02:06:53,200
Speaker 1: Every time a ball carrier comes through the line, every

2434
02:06:53,240 --> 02:06:55,880
Speaker 1: guy on defense is jumping on his arm that has

2435
02:06:55,920 --> 02:06:58,400
Speaker 1: the ball in it. That it helped the Bills in

2436
02:06:58,400 --> 02:07:01,440
Speaker 1: this last game against the Raiders, and it'll help them

2437
02:07:01,480 --> 02:07:05,440
Speaker 1: going forward. But if you've sack strips fumbles, you know

2438
02:07:05,520 --> 02:07:08,600
Speaker 1: Miles Garrett has gotten three in a row. I'm three

2439
02:07:08,640 --> 02:07:11,640
Speaker 1: consecutive weeks. He's had one in three consecutive weeks. We

2440
02:07:11,680 --> 02:07:15,840
Speaker 1: saw Quentin Jefferson get his this week. That's that's their

2441
02:07:15,920 --> 02:07:19,160
Speaker 1: last hope here. If nobody's calling holding on the offensive line,

2442
02:07:19,320 --> 02:07:23,480
Speaker 1: you can't get pressure because any offensive line can protect

2443
02:07:23,520 --> 02:07:27,919
Speaker 1: whatever quarterback is back there because they can just hug them.

2444
02:07:28,000 --> 02:07:30,520
Speaker 1: It's all about getting sack strips when you get a chance,

2445
02:07:30,600 --> 02:07:32,720
Speaker 1: or getting the ball out to whoever the quarterback gives

2446
02:07:32,720 --> 02:07:34,880
Speaker 1: it to. And you can see it all over the

2447
02:07:34,880 --> 02:07:37,880
Speaker 1: way these defenses are tackling and the way the defenders

2448
02:07:37,880 --> 02:07:43,000
Speaker 1: are sometimes receivers sometimes that approach comes at the expensive tackling.

2449
02:07:43,360 --> 02:07:46,760
Speaker 1: That's right. The better teams say, first man, wrap up,

2450
02:07:46,960 --> 02:07:49,080
Speaker 1: if you're second guy in, go get the ball right.

2451
02:07:49,360 --> 02:07:51,520
Speaker 1: There's been a lot of mistackles this year as well

2452
02:07:51,560 --> 02:07:53,280
Speaker 1: because guys are trying to get the ball out there

2453
02:07:53,320 --> 02:07:57,720
Speaker 1: and they're not doing that right. But there's no doubt

2454
02:07:57,720 --> 02:08:00,720
Speaker 1: to me in my eyes, I'm seeing this. I'm man,

2455
02:08:00,880 --> 02:08:05,720
Speaker 1: everybody's doing that. Everybody's you know, everybody's coming in. They're

2456
02:08:05,760 --> 02:08:08,640
Speaker 1: all trying to get the ball out and um, and

2457
02:08:08,640 --> 02:08:11,880
Speaker 1: it's and it's worked. It works a lot. You see

2458
02:08:11,880 --> 02:08:14,120
Speaker 1: even see ball carries. Once in a while you'll see

2459
02:08:14,120 --> 02:08:15,680
Speaker 1: the guy trying to get on the ground because he

2460
02:08:15,680 --> 02:08:17,320
Speaker 1: thinks he's gonna lose it. He wants to go down

2461
02:08:17,360 --> 02:08:23,000
Speaker 1: before it comes out. Um, it's it's their only defense. Now. Yeah,

2462
02:08:23,120 --> 02:08:25,600
Speaker 1: in this league, the way it's get the way it's

2463
02:08:25,640 --> 02:08:29,200
Speaker 1: being officiated from George, I'd love to see more Moss

2464
02:08:29,240 --> 02:08:31,520
Speaker 1: in a four minute offense to grind out the clock

2465
02:08:31,560 --> 02:08:33,400
Speaker 1: with the leads we've been getting. But I can't hold

2466
02:08:33,440 --> 02:08:37,040
Speaker 1: the injury against him. And yeah, I mean maybe they

2467
02:08:37,120 --> 02:08:40,680
Speaker 1: grind out the clock more effectively with him and Singletary,

2468
02:08:41,160 --> 02:08:45,080
Speaker 1: you know, sharing the load from Tick. He says it

2469
02:08:45,200 --> 02:08:48,920
Speaker 1: has to be Epinessa, especially with Milano probably out for

2470
02:08:48,960 --> 02:08:53,360
Speaker 1: an undetermined amount of time. Defense wise, the Bills need playmakers,

2471
02:08:53,800 --> 02:08:56,840
Speaker 1: especially for QB sacks and pressure. I will say this

2472
02:08:57,240 --> 02:08:59,920
Speaker 1: the thing that stands out to me watching Epinessa work.

2473
02:09:00,840 --> 02:09:03,320
Speaker 1: It's got what they call heavy hands. I mean he

2474
02:09:03,400 --> 02:09:06,320
Speaker 1: hits a lineman and it's a jolt. Yeah. I mean

2475
02:09:06,400 --> 02:09:08,840
Speaker 1: for a young guy, he's big and thick. When he

2476
02:09:08,880 --> 02:09:12,920
Speaker 1: gets that arm extended, man, you watch these linemen their

2477
02:09:13,120 --> 02:09:16,400
Speaker 1: their heads kind of jerk when he makes contact. I

2478
02:09:16,440 --> 02:09:18,800
Speaker 1: mean it's impressive. Yeah, he's trying and I saw it.

2479
02:09:19,040 --> 02:09:21,000
Speaker 1: You know, he kind of has that big, thick body

2480
02:09:21,000 --> 02:09:22,959
Speaker 1: that kind of makes him look a little bit sluggish

2481
02:09:22,960 --> 02:09:25,240
Speaker 1: when he runs. But I's not. But yeah, what I

2482
02:09:25,520 --> 02:09:28,240
Speaker 1: noticed was when he ran down golf from behind and

2483
02:09:28,280 --> 02:09:31,879
Speaker 1: got his first sack out past the past the hashbarts

2484
02:09:31,920 --> 02:09:33,720
Speaker 1: out past the numbers, over by the sidelines for a

2485
02:09:33,760 --> 02:09:37,360
Speaker 1: three yard sack. He ran him down and yeah, I

2486
02:09:37,440 --> 02:09:39,120
Speaker 1: was like, oh, well, there there you go, because that

2487
02:09:39,200 --> 02:09:41,160
Speaker 1: was kind of the knock on him. He's a big, thick,

2488
02:09:41,200 --> 02:09:43,800
Speaker 1: heavy dude. He can move down inside. You know, remember

2489
02:09:43,880 --> 02:09:45,240
Speaker 1: we were thinking about him being a one or a

2490
02:09:45,280 --> 02:09:49,560
Speaker 1: two technique and passing down a passing down situation. But uh,

2491
02:09:50,000 --> 02:09:52,240
Speaker 1: because he does have that size. He's a big two

2492
02:09:52,360 --> 02:09:54,880
Speaker 1: hundred and eighty pound guy and he's tall, so he's

2493
02:09:55,040 --> 02:09:58,680
Speaker 1: you know, um but on that but on that play,

2494
02:09:58,720 --> 02:10:01,120
Speaker 1: he was fast enough to run pretty good athletic quarterback.

2495
02:10:01,120 --> 02:10:03,040
Speaker 1: You look at him and you say, maybe he's not

2496
02:10:03,080 --> 02:10:06,240
Speaker 1: a long chase player, right, he's a long chase play. Yeah,

2497
02:10:06,320 --> 02:10:07,720
Speaker 1: we can do this with him. And so I'm I'm

2498
02:10:08,080 --> 02:10:10,120
Speaker 1: kind of with a couple of these people who want

2499
02:10:10,120 --> 02:10:11,400
Speaker 1: to see more from that. I want to, you know,

2500
02:10:11,400 --> 02:10:13,320
Speaker 1: I just want to see this team plays. I'm at

2501
02:10:13,320 --> 02:10:15,560
Speaker 1: that time of year, brownie. I've been there last three

2502
02:10:15,640 --> 02:10:17,560
Speaker 1: years with all these guys. I couldn't wait to see

2503
02:10:17,600 --> 02:10:20,200
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, even as a rookie. I wanted to He's

2504
02:10:20,200 --> 02:10:22,240
Speaker 1: the only thing I wanted to look at with that team.

2505
02:10:22,840 --> 02:10:25,840
Speaker 1: To me. Yeah, then last year, of course, when they

2506
02:10:25,840 --> 02:10:28,160
Speaker 1: were winning, the thing was going around. I wanted to

2507
02:10:28,200 --> 02:10:30,920
Speaker 1: see these guys let's go. And now this year, uh,

2508
02:10:31,640 --> 02:10:34,200
Speaker 1: you know, I wish they played every day. Yeah, last

2509
02:10:34,200 --> 02:10:39,240
Speaker 1: one from Jason Epanessa. The offense is fine, Davis is

2510
02:10:39,280 --> 02:10:42,920
Speaker 1: getting some opportunities and Moss is nursing an injury. Eponessa

2511
02:10:43,000 --> 02:10:46,040
Speaker 1: can contribute where we need help the most, the D line.

2512
02:10:46,120 --> 02:10:49,840
Speaker 1: We need more pressure, so a lot. That seems to

2513
02:10:49,920 --> 02:10:52,520
Speaker 1: be the majority of the sentiment on the tweet sheet

2514
02:10:52,520 --> 02:10:54,600
Speaker 1: to that, because they think the deep, you know, the

2515
02:10:54,680 --> 02:10:56,560
Speaker 1: defense needs to play better. They'd like to see him

2516
02:10:56,560 --> 02:10:58,360
Speaker 1: play better, a little bit more like they did last year.

2517
02:10:58,360 --> 02:11:00,480
Speaker 1: And I just don't think the ATMOS, if you're around

2518
02:11:00,480 --> 02:11:02,560
Speaker 1: the NFL, is going to allow it. Yeah, all right,

2519
02:11:02,600 --> 02:11:04,360
Speaker 1: we have to take a break. One more segment to

2520
02:11:04,400 --> 02:11:06,800
Speaker 1: go here on a Tuesday edition of One Bill's Live,

2521
02:11:06,920 --> 02:11:09,280
Speaker 1: presented by Kalida Health, Steve and I back in a

2522
02:11:09,320 --> 02:11:28,120
Speaker 1: moment here on Buffalo Bill's Radio time for what have

2523
02:11:28,200 --> 02:11:31,200
Speaker 1: We Learned? Brought to you by Skyworks, the official construction

2524
02:11:31,240 --> 02:11:35,320
Speaker 1: equipment rental company of the Buffalo Bills. We had our

2525
02:11:35,360 --> 02:11:38,880
Speaker 1: weekly visit from Kyle Brandt from Good Morning Football, and

2526
02:11:39,640 --> 02:11:44,280
Speaker 1: he discussed with us Josh Allen and all the positives

2527
02:11:44,280 --> 02:11:47,160
Speaker 1: and some of the few negatives when he goes a

2528
02:11:47,200 --> 02:11:50,680
Speaker 1: little bit too far off the script, and Kyle brand said, Hey,

2529
02:11:51,320 --> 02:11:55,600
Speaker 1: there's a way to avoid this negative stuff. I remember

2530
02:11:55,600 --> 02:11:57,680
Speaker 1: when Michael Vick was young and it's a different conversation

2531
02:11:57,720 --> 02:11:59,920
Speaker 1: and they stop running. Stop running, You're gonna get hurt.

2532
02:11:59,920 --> 02:12:02,080
Speaker 1: Your gonna get hurt. And John Madden would come out

2533
02:12:02,080 --> 02:12:03,240
Speaker 1: and be like, what do you mean, don't run? You're

2534
02:12:03,280 --> 02:12:06,360
Speaker 1: Michael Vick. It's a slightly different thing because we're talking

2535
02:12:06,400 --> 02:12:09,080
Speaker 1: about decision making. But I don't know if you just

2536
02:12:09,120 --> 02:12:11,640
Speaker 1: get Josh in his head and say just you know,

2537
02:12:11,720 --> 02:12:14,160
Speaker 1: just focus, focus, focus, I feel like you don't get

2538
02:12:14,240 --> 02:12:16,360
Speaker 1: some of the vibrancy, some of the good that goes

2539
02:12:16,400 --> 02:12:19,040
Speaker 1: with that crazy stuff. He's already you know, we haven't

2540
02:12:19,040 --> 02:12:22,360
Speaker 1: had the ridiculous fumbles last week. We haven't had any

2541
02:12:22,400 --> 02:12:25,440
Speaker 1: sort of insane high jinks other than he just gets

2542
02:12:25,440 --> 02:12:28,240
Speaker 1: a little excited sometimes sometimes my kid has to roll

2543
02:12:28,320 --> 02:12:30,080
Speaker 1: ups and then he walks through a screen door, like

2544
02:12:30,120 --> 02:12:36,040
Speaker 1: that's just it's Josh, he's still young, fifty fruit rollups

2545
02:12:36,520 --> 02:12:38,480
Speaker 1: and then you plow through a screen door. You know

2546
02:12:38,520 --> 02:12:41,280
Speaker 1: who also does that? My dog? Is your dog ever

2547
02:12:41,320 --> 02:12:43,480
Speaker 1: plowed through the screen door, just not paying attention and

2548
02:12:43,560 --> 02:12:46,760
Speaker 1: just hey, come on in poom Mike. No, I'll go

2549
02:12:46,800 --> 02:12:48,680
Speaker 1: into my dog later. But no, I get it, And

2550
02:12:48,720 --> 02:12:50,560
Speaker 1: he's right. You want to you want to keep Josh

2551
02:12:50,560 --> 02:12:53,480
Speaker 1: in that strange balance where he can feel free now

2552
02:12:53,480 --> 02:12:55,760
Speaker 1: like he's gonna make a play. But you know, the

2553
02:12:55,760 --> 02:12:57,680
Speaker 1: three plays that we talked about, none of them came

2554
02:12:57,720 --> 02:13:00,600
Speaker 1: back to bite the Bills last week, except unless you

2555
02:13:00,640 --> 02:13:02,560
Speaker 1: want to talk about the hurt shoulder that he got.

2556
02:13:02,640 --> 02:13:05,080
Speaker 1: But the flip forward that was a completion. He tried

2557
02:13:05,080 --> 02:13:07,440
Speaker 1: to flip one to Isaiah mackenzie. He didn't catch it

2558
02:13:07,480 --> 02:13:09,840
Speaker 1: and went out of bounds. It was harmless. And then

2559
02:13:09,880 --> 02:13:12,640
Speaker 1: of course the bad sack that he took could have

2560
02:13:12,720 --> 02:13:15,240
Speaker 1: met something more significant than the didn't it didn't bite him,

2561
02:13:15,240 --> 02:13:17,720
Speaker 1: had cost him three points at least in that situation,

2562
02:13:17,800 --> 02:13:20,120
Speaker 1: or at least an attempt at three points. So they

2563
02:13:20,360 --> 02:13:22,800
Speaker 1: he had three of those plays this last weekend. None

2564
02:13:22,800 --> 02:13:26,400
Speaker 1: of them really were catastrophic. All this because they help.

2565
02:13:26,440 --> 02:13:28,680
Speaker 1: You're walking the razor's edge in this walk. Yeah, the

2566
02:13:30,200 --> 02:13:36,480
Speaker 1: difference you know, in teams is marginal. The difference those

2567
02:13:36,520 --> 02:13:39,640
Speaker 1: same three plays going the other way. Yeah, and they

2568
02:13:39,680 --> 02:13:42,320
Speaker 1: were kind of a push this week. They went your way,

2569
02:13:42,360 --> 02:13:45,080
Speaker 1: and he's still only won by seven. Right, So that's

2570
02:13:45,160 --> 02:13:48,120
Speaker 1: that's the rub. Tomorrow's show, we will get a live

2571
02:13:48,240 --> 02:13:51,360
Speaker 1: look in at practice as we have some important injuries
