1 00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:10,520 Speaker 1: At a Steve Tasker who has been all over the field. 2 00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:12,200 Speaker 1: Kind of unique. He was kind of a dual role 3 00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:18,639 Speaker 1: player for you, Steve, Steve a blimp. We're not even 4 00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:25,520 Speaker 1: in the straded beer of normalcy, all right. Welcome to 5 00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:28,680 Speaker 1: a Tuesday edition of One Bills Live Chris Brown, Steve 6 00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:34,159 Speaker 1: Tasker with you and some interesting stuff. Monday night football. 7 00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:41,080 Speaker 1: Steve referees have once again become a bigger part of 8 00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:44,839 Speaker 1: the narrative than they'd prefer to be. Shay, did they 9 00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:49,000 Speaker 1: insert themselves or were they noticed from they were inserted? Yes, 10 00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:54,480 Speaker 1: hip first as hers, they butted their way into the 11 00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:59,680 Speaker 1: collective consciousness of mystery. Last night Bears Steelers Last night 12 00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:02,760 Speaker 1: won by the Steelers on a field goal attempt that 13 00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:08,960 Speaker 1: was provided in part by a taunting penalty. Chicago linebacker 14 00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:14,080 Speaker 1: Cashes Marsh after making I believe he made a sack 15 00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:17,160 Speaker 1: if I remember the order of all this, correct made 16 00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:21,160 Speaker 1: a sack and took a few steps over in the 17 00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:26,080 Speaker 1: direction of the Pittsburgh bench. The camera view that I 18 00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:29,000 Speaker 1: saw was behind Marsh, so it's unclear as to whether 19 00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:32,200 Speaker 1: he is saying anything to the Pittsburgh bench. There is 20 00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:36,360 Speaker 1: no gesticulating, no pointing of any kind, so it doesn't 21 00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:39,040 Speaker 1: look like taunting. From behind, you can't tell if he's 22 00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:42,440 Speaker 1: saying anything. He then makes his way back to the 23 00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:46,399 Speaker 1: Chicago bench, and while jogging across the field, he comes 24 00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:51,480 Speaker 1: in close proximity to head referee Tony Corrente. Tony Carente, 25 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:55,240 Speaker 1: at least as the way I saw it, initiates the 26 00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:59,280 Speaker 1: contact by literally backing over to where his path of 27 00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:02,520 Speaker 1: jogging is to make sure they bump into one another. 28 00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:06,200 Speaker 1: I don't all right, go ahead, finish, and then promptly 29 00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:12,360 Speaker 1: throws a flag for taunting. Yeah, afterwards, hold on. Afterwards, 30 00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:16,760 Speaker 1: the pool reporter for the game for the media asked 31 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:22,080 Speaker 1: Tony Carenti if the taunting flag was thrown because of 32 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:25,919 Speaker 1: him being bumped by Cassius Marsh however, you want to 33 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,800 Speaker 1: put it right, and he said no, it was for 34 00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:34,600 Speaker 1: the taunting that he witnessed on the other side. I 35 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:37,520 Speaker 1: don't know. It doesn't look good to me. I think 36 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:41,280 Speaker 1: it's bad optics at the very least for the officiating crew. 37 00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:46,160 Speaker 1: Bad optics. So he, you know, he does his karate kick, 38 00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:49,919 Speaker 1: he's celebrating with his teammates, looks at the bench, doesn't 39 00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:52,839 Speaker 1: really say anything. He's just looking at him. I don't 40 00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:56,360 Speaker 1: think he's talking. He's talking the punter there then comes 41 00:02:56,400 --> 00:03:02,920 Speaker 1: back this way and as he's jogging back, what was that? 42 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:05,200 Speaker 1: And then he PARTI thought he was really gonna get whacked, 43 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:07,280 Speaker 1: and he turned and kind of like braced himself and 44 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:09,160 Speaker 1: it kind of moved because he I think he thought 45 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:12,320 Speaker 1: he marsh was It doesn't look like he's saying anything though. 46 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,480 Speaker 1: Now look, I'm I don't have a problem with the taunting, 47 00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:22,720 Speaker 1: uh emphasis, because I do believe at its core it's 48 00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:27,560 Speaker 1: designed to set a better example for the lower levels 49 00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:32,880 Speaker 1: of football because they very often mimic what the what 50 00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:35,640 Speaker 1: the pros do and we I mean, you see it 51 00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:38,120 Speaker 1: in twelve year old football. So he's walking the wrong way. 52 00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:40,480 Speaker 1: That right there, that's it, that's it. He pays it. 53 00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 1: He's walking towards the punter and he didn't say anything. 54 00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:45,400 Speaker 1: Whether he said anything or not. Yeah, there's a verbal 55 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:47,360 Speaker 1: and a non verbal component to all of this, and 56 00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:49,960 Speaker 1: I'm the CRINTI stuff is beside the point that the 57 00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:53,240 Speaker 1: officials are, is it though? Yeah? Is it? Yeah? I 58 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,000 Speaker 1: mean he's guilty. You want to you want to flag 59 00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:59,200 Speaker 1: him for taunting? Okay, I mean I've seen less stuff 60 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,880 Speaker 1: than that time for the flag out, I'll say that, 61 00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,920 Speaker 1: But then the flag doesn't come out until he bumps 62 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:08,280 Speaker 1: into him, and it looks as though Correnti is not 63 00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:14,600 Speaker 1: making any effort to avoid bumping into him. Then he 64 00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:18,960 Speaker 1: throws the flag. Yeah, you want to justify the taunting, 65 00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:22,440 Speaker 1: I'm here for that. But what is Corenti doing? The 66 00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,320 Speaker 1: optics are awful. This guy's out there. He's still out 67 00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:27,560 Speaker 1: there now. Now he runs the wrong direction, goes the 68 00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:31,479 Speaker 1: other sideline. Still, Yeah, this is a little bit prolonged 69 00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:36,080 Speaker 1: plus taunting there. That's like he's taunting, like he's not 70 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:39,440 Speaker 1: even like I'm gonna back into it. Look at that wait, wait, 71 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,800 Speaker 1: come on, it looks like he's boxing him out, so 72 00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:46,240 Speaker 1: trying to get a rebound. So what Tony corn I 73 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:47,720 Speaker 1: thought if he was gonna say anything, he was going 74 00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:49,480 Speaker 1: to throw him out for touching an official? I mean, 75 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:54,120 Speaker 1: you want to give him the flag for taunt? Now? 76 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:59,520 Speaker 1: The Bears coach is absolutely livid and and rightfully so. 77 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,640 Speaker 1: I mean, marsh if you're gonna do you can't do that. 78 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:05,960 Speaker 1: You can't do your little karate kick thing and then 79 00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:11,000 Speaker 1: walk twelve yards to the sideline. That was a mistake. 80 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,159 Speaker 1: Of ways for the Pittsburgh player to come out and 81 00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:15,960 Speaker 1: then like walk backwards with the Pittsburgh player keeping him 82 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,240 Speaker 1: exactly the same distance like it. Now, that right there 83 00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:21,240 Speaker 1: looks like he's facing down the punter. It does, so 84 00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:23,880 Speaker 1: I can see that my point here should come out 85 00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:27,119 Speaker 1: right then, Yeah, my point is they're both wrong. He's 86 00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:31,320 Speaker 1: wrong for doing what he did, and then Carinthia is 87 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:34,440 Speaker 1: wrong for initiating contact and then throwing the flag. The 88 00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,640 Speaker 1: optics are so bad. This is officiating today. It's not 89 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:41,120 Speaker 1: officiating like it used to be. Steve, you want to 90 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,280 Speaker 1: know what officiating in the good old days looked like? 91 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,279 Speaker 1: Just throw the flag. It looked like Bill's Jets nineteen 92 00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:48,600 Speaker 1: eighty six. That's right, all right, I think we have 93 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:52,039 Speaker 1: footage of that. So if we can roll the videotape 94 00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:54,520 Speaker 1: to show you what officiating used to be, this is 95 00:05:54,520 --> 00:06:09,800 Speaker 1: how it should be done. Players from both number ninety 96 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:13,880 Speaker 1: nine the defense A Pree tackled the quarterback. He's giving 97 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:21,760 Speaker 1: him penalty. That now that's officiating. That is officiating. That 98 00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:25,200 Speaker 1: was Bill's Jets nineteen eighty six, before you even yet, 99 00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:28,640 Speaker 1: that was Jim's first game. And right it is because 100 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,640 Speaker 1: I and I thought it was Marty Lions that jumped 101 00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:34,000 Speaker 1: on him. They was, oh, okay, well, one thing hasn't 102 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,440 Speaker 1: changed in officiating. They still can't get the numbers right. 103 00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:38,360 Speaker 1: He's and nighting gas at the end of that is 104 00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:41,200 Speaker 1: funny because Jim and Marty Lions are like yucking up. 105 00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:43,840 Speaker 1: Marty taps him on the helmet because it was there 106 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:47,239 Speaker 1: was something we remember hearing Buffalo Jim rules into town. 107 00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:52,080 Speaker 1: The whole world was his entourage. You know, kent't Hall's 108 00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:55,240 Speaker 1: jumping on him. Devlin's on top of that, Kenny Jones 109 00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 1: is on top, Frank Reich's out there with the baseball hat. 110 00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,080 Speaker 1: They're all out there the benches giving him the business 111 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:07,000 Speaker 1: down in the business. So that's officiating, right, that's officiating. 112 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,680 Speaker 1: So it looks Marty Lions is tapping him on the head. 113 00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:15,040 Speaker 1: So yeah, those are the days. Can you imagine that happened? 114 00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:17,760 Speaker 1: That couldn't even that wouldn't even I mean, all the 115 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:19,760 Speaker 1: guys that come off the bench yah boom boom boom 116 00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:23,080 Speaker 1: boom boom, that's like they're all personal fouls. That's half 117 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:25,640 Speaker 1: the that's half the rouge, one away from going to 118 00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:29,720 Speaker 1: the locker room. Yeah, under current rules, exactly so all 119 00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:33,240 Speaker 1: of that appens. That's pretty funny. I'd forgotten about that. 120 00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:35,560 Speaker 1: That's a good one by you. That's a great one 121 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:38,280 Speaker 1: because that was one of the all time greats. And 122 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:42,600 Speaker 1: because they were giving Jim the busines, because they were 123 00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:45,240 Speaker 1: because Jim rolls into town. The whole world is his entourage. Man, 124 00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:47,760 Speaker 1: it's all about him. And so the Jets were like 125 00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:49,960 Speaker 1: and the Jets in New York Sack Exchange. You know, 126 00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:56,200 Speaker 1: they had Marty Lions, and they had some guys and cleco. Right, 127 00:07:56,800 --> 00:08:01,440 Speaker 1: so they jump on Jim and man, everybody, I mean 128 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:03,800 Speaker 1: they all jump in out of course. You know, it's 129 00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:09,560 Speaker 1: his first game, so they had already I think they'd 130 00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:12,240 Speaker 1: already let him up once from a with a false start, 131 00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:16,920 Speaker 1: Jim got a hard count. They jumped off sides and 132 00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:19,119 Speaker 1: I think it was Collecto that whacked him and knocked 133 00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:22,840 Speaker 1: him over. And the bills. It was so the culture 134 00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:25,120 Speaker 1: was so had been so bad in Buffalo, and it 135 00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:27,680 Speaker 1: was so bad with with it was Hank Bulloh, it 136 00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:29,520 Speaker 1: was a coach. The culture was so I heard this 137 00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:31,640 Speaker 1: story in the locker room. The culture was so bad, 138 00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:36,400 Speaker 1: nobody knew that they should like stick up for him, right, 139 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,760 Speaker 1: So then after that because Ken didn't even you know, 140 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:42,080 Speaker 1: Kent was down there and they were like, what the 141 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:43,960 Speaker 1: Then later in the game when he gives him the business, 142 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:45,360 Speaker 1: then it was on. Then they were like, hey, that 143 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:47,240 Speaker 1: we can't you know, they had They obviously had a 144 00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,480 Speaker 1: conversation after that and when they came off the field 145 00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:51,000 Speaker 1: and they're like, hey, we get you know, then they 146 00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:53,720 Speaker 1: tried that because once they get away with it, they're 147 00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:55,800 Speaker 1: gonna be like, Okay, we'll do it again. We'll do 148 00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:57,640 Speaker 1: it again. And then you know, of course that was 149 00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:00,480 Speaker 1: nice to me reminiscent because sixty seven was the first 150 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:04,520 Speaker 1: guy in the stack after it was over. And yeah, 151 00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:06,520 Speaker 1: I'm telling man, I've said it a million times and 152 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:10,920 Speaker 1: that a pile like that, Satan himself lives at the 153 00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:16,800 Speaker 1: bottom of an NFL pile like that. I've been there, man, 154 00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:19,640 Speaker 1: It is not pretty. No people will grab and twist 155 00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:24,199 Speaker 1: and ripe anything they can get their hands on. Other 156 00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:30,120 Speaker 1: stuff going on. The Browns are in the latest COVID situation. 157 00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:34,120 Speaker 1: Their running back room has gotten hit. They're all vaccinated, 158 00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:39,080 Speaker 1: but they're testing positive. Nick Chubb, Dimitric Felton, and John Kelly, 159 00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:44,320 Speaker 1: all in the Browns running back room positive on COVID 160 00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:48,760 Speaker 1: tests today, which puts their status at least in doubt 161 00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:53,160 Speaker 1: right now for their upcoming game against the Patriots. And 162 00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:57,520 Speaker 1: you already have Kareem Hunt on IR. The only running 163 00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:00,320 Speaker 1: back left for them right now as a sure thing 164 00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:04,320 Speaker 1: for Sunday's game is de Ernest Johnson, who filled in 165 00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:07,719 Speaker 1: admirably the last time he was called into action a 166 00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:12,400 Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago in a Browns victory. But they're 167 00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:15,720 Speaker 1: playing the Patriots. I think the Bills are hoping for 168 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:17,960 Speaker 1: a little help from the Browns this week. Yeah, they 169 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:22,520 Speaker 1: ain't gonna get it. Um. Is that game in New England? 170 00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:25,960 Speaker 1: I think so? Was double check? Wasn't New England in 171 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,160 Speaker 1: Houston last week or someone where there were? They are here? Yeah, 172 00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:29,680 Speaker 1: hold on, I get it right here. I'll pull it 173 00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:33,360 Speaker 1: up in just a second. The game is in New England? Yes, yeah, 174 00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:36,520 Speaker 1: so both teams are five and four. They got no shot. 175 00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:41,000 Speaker 1: That is a huge stakes game for both teams, absolutely 176 00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:44,360 Speaker 1: in the AFC conference race. So that'll be an interesting 177 00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:46,760 Speaker 1: one and we'll see. I mean, really, they just need 178 00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:50,679 Speaker 1: two negative PCR tests. Yeah, those guys back to That's 179 00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:53,319 Speaker 1: the thing. It's not. They're not panicking right now. All 180 00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:55,800 Speaker 1: they need know. It's early in the week, there's time exactly. 181 00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:59,360 Speaker 1: But it just throws a ranch in the works, it 182 00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:03,679 Speaker 1: really does. Yeah, then we also have today ob J 183 00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:09,160 Speaker 1: watch goes on waivers at four o'clock, and all we 184 00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:12,199 Speaker 1: know at this point is that the Lions are not interested. 185 00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:15,280 Speaker 1: Per Dan Campbell's comments yesterday, right, they're first in the 186 00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:21,920 Speaker 1: waiver order. They're not interested. Right, So the Seahawks have said, yes, 187 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,120 Speaker 1: you'll you'll have to watch and see. Pete Carroll is 188 00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:27,440 Speaker 1: very cryptic with his response when asked if they would 189 00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:30,880 Speaker 1: be interested in OBJ, he said, I'm not saying we are, 190 00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:33,600 Speaker 1: and I'm not saying we're not. You have to find out. 191 00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:37,640 Speaker 1: I I don't know why he decides to play. I've 192 00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:42,320 Speaker 1: heard that and I get this. Um. The sentiment out 193 00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:45,920 Speaker 1: there is whatever happened with OBJ in Cleveland, and whatever 194 00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:49,480 Speaker 1: happened to OBJ in New York, all that stuff. The 195 00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:52,080 Speaker 1: guy can really play. People really haven't think that the 196 00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:54,760 Speaker 1: guy's a good player, a really good player. And there 197 00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:56,880 Speaker 1: are a lot of teams out there that feel like 198 00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:59,120 Speaker 1: they'd be better with him. Most teams would be better. 199 00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:01,040 Speaker 1: Let's face it, most teams would be better with him 200 00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:06,680 Speaker 1: out there The question is, you know, GM's not gonna 201 00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:11,280 Speaker 1: They're gonna call his representation say what's going on? Where's 202 00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:13,760 Speaker 1: his head at? I'm gonna put a waiver claim in 203 00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:15,160 Speaker 1: on this guy and have him come in and blow 204 00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:18,240 Speaker 1: up on us. What's he gonna want to sign all 205 00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:23,320 Speaker 1: of that stuff? And I don't think anybody See here's 206 00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:24,960 Speaker 1: the thing. A lot of teams will say, well, you 207 00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:27,240 Speaker 1: know what, I'm not taking him at the price he's going, 208 00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:30,520 Speaker 1: but I'll wait. If he clears waivers, we'll talk to you. 209 00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:34,920 Speaker 1: And that's what will happen. He may get through waivers. 210 00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:39,720 Speaker 1: He's coming with a what a seven something million price tag? 211 00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:43,760 Speaker 1: If you claim that seven and a quarter million, Yeah, 212 00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:48,040 Speaker 1: that that's a note non starter for a group of teams. 213 00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:49,960 Speaker 1: A large group of teams don't have the cap space, right, 214 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:51,360 Speaker 1: A lot of teams just don't have the cap So 215 00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:54,720 Speaker 1: a lot of them, those teams, that's just it, thirty 216 00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:59,040 Speaker 1: one teams. If he clears waivers, his representation is gonna 217 00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:02,240 Speaker 1: get thirty one phone calls. Yeah, they'll get thirty one 218 00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:04,000 Speaker 1: phone calls about him and say what will he sign 219 00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:07,800 Speaker 1: for with our team? Well, you inherit the contract though, 220 00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:10,160 Speaker 1: picking him up off the waivers. Now he's a free agent. 221 00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:13,640 Speaker 1: After waivers he's released. No, from what I understand, he's 222 00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:16,959 Speaker 1: got to be exposed to the waivers period. Oh, if 223 00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:19,680 Speaker 1: he goes unclaimed. If he goes unclaimed, that's what I'm saying. 224 00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:22,280 Speaker 1: If he clears waivers, then he's a free agent. You 225 00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:24,000 Speaker 1: can sign him for whatever. He's gonna get that far. 226 00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:27,320 Speaker 1: He might not, but he's got to get down. He's 227 00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:28,880 Speaker 1: gonna get into a team that's got that kind of 228 00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:33,920 Speaker 1: cap space. And you know, whatever he says. I mean, 229 00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:35,200 Speaker 1: he may say, yeah, I don't want to play for 230 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:38,160 Speaker 1: you. You You you or you? Okay, fine, we're claiming you. 231 00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:42,719 Speaker 1: I'm not coming exactly right. I'll sit out the rest 232 00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:46,320 Speaker 1: of the year. I'll see you next year. Yeah. So 233 00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:51,199 Speaker 1: we'll see where that ends. Now that Cleveland has decided 234 00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:55,319 Speaker 1: to cut the chord and you know, they released him 235 00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:59,800 Speaker 1: and had a pretty resounding performance this past weekend forty 236 00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:02,439 Speaker 1: one sixteen over Cincinnati. I heard that the word had 237 00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:04,480 Speaker 1: of the you know, Baker said something to the team 238 00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:06,720 Speaker 1: before they can't went out for the for the game, 239 00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:08,680 Speaker 1: said hey, let's put it behind us, let's go. You 240 00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:12,320 Speaker 1: know that that's not that's when a guy. You need 241 00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:15,319 Speaker 1: a guy like that. I had applied. Whatever you think 242 00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:17,920 Speaker 1: about Baker Mayfield, that was a smart move by him. 243 00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:23,880 Speaker 1: Acknowledge what happened and let's go. It's interesting how NFL 244 00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:29,080 Speaker 1: teams play with motivation and inspiration when there is a 245 00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:34,520 Speaker 1: subtraction from the roster. We saw it in Denver. Javonte 246 00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:39,680 Speaker 1: Williams in the postgame press conference or interview, he basically said, 247 00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:41,960 Speaker 1: when von Miller got traded, we said, hey, we're all 248 00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:43,720 Speaker 1: gonna have to pull on the rope a little bit harder. Now, 249 00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:48,520 Speaker 1: let's go. And they pull off a giant win over 250 00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:50,920 Speaker 1: to d Alice. I mean they thumped him. Not only that, 251 00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:55,240 Speaker 1: the Raiders their head coach, and two they've won two 252 00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:59,560 Speaker 1: in a row. Yeah, it's you're right, and we say 253 00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:02,160 Speaker 1: it all the time, even the Jaguars not having James 254 00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:06,000 Speaker 1: Robinson this past week. I mean, I'm just gonna tell you, Steve, 255 00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:08,240 Speaker 1: how about you? But I watched the tape of the 256 00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:12,520 Speaker 1: Jags the week before they played the Bills. They didn't 257 00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:16,280 Speaker 1: even look like the same team. Yeah, they sleepwalk through games, 258 00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:18,400 Speaker 1: I'm telling you. And then they all they were all 259 00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:21,200 Speaker 1: dialed up and lathered up for the Bills. I don't 260 00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:23,680 Speaker 1: want to. I don't want to make more of it. 261 00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:26,880 Speaker 1: Is I hear all the time, all the time from 262 00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:30,960 Speaker 1: media people, and we've talked about it here about the 263 00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:35,960 Speaker 1: things that they just don't get. They just and they 264 00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:40,520 Speaker 1: won't acknowledge some of them. Yeah, how tough it is 265 00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:46,040 Speaker 1: to be ready to play because most media people who 266 00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:49,160 Speaker 1: have been nothing but media, have never had to go 267 00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:52,480 Speaker 1: into someplace where you're gonna be in what most people 268 00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:55,640 Speaker 1: would consider a fight. Yeah, like it's not a fight 269 00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:58,320 Speaker 1: in a football, but it paid the physical price. They don't, Yeah, 270 00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:00,160 Speaker 1: they don't get ready to pay the physical price. And 271 00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:02,600 Speaker 1: then not playing enough games to understand what it means 272 00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:06,040 Speaker 1: that I gotta do it again. You gotta, you gotta, 273 00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:08,080 Speaker 1: you gotta gather it up and be there, and and 274 00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:10,160 Speaker 1: you've got some things that are out of your control 275 00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:13,920 Speaker 1: that will affect you physically and the other teams. I 276 00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:20,800 Speaker 1: buility that having to dredge up the readiness to not 277 00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:24,040 Speaker 1: just go out there and survive, but to go out 278 00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:27,720 Speaker 1: there and attack and and and invite that. It's a 279 00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:30,120 Speaker 1: it's a big hurdle that it's hard to make people 280 00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:32,680 Speaker 1: understand who've never had to do that. You know, like 281 00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:35,080 Speaker 1: a prize fighter. You know you're gonna step into and 282 00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:37,560 Speaker 1: you gotta you know you're gonna knock a guy out 283 00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:40,320 Speaker 1: or get knocked out. That's most people can't get their 284 00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:43,280 Speaker 1: mind around what it takes mentally to do that. There's 285 00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:46,960 Speaker 1: a and there's a collective component to a football team 286 00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:52,320 Speaker 1: that is huge and it there are certain people and 287 00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:55,080 Speaker 1: there and in human nature's where you're gonna go in 288 00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:57,240 Speaker 1: there and all of a sudden you see your teammates 289 00:16:57,280 --> 00:17:00,400 Speaker 1: doing stuff and you're like, wow, i'd love those guys. 290 00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:02,040 Speaker 1: Let's I want to be with it. I want to 291 00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:03,880 Speaker 1: help those guys. I want to be let's go. I 292 00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:07,680 Speaker 1: think together we're gonna do this. That's inspiration, and inspiration 293 00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:12,600 Speaker 1: is not just an idea, it's a thing. Um. It's 294 00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:16,000 Speaker 1: momentum in a game is a real thing. And some 295 00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:17,520 Speaker 1: people are like, well, I want a moment it's a 296 00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:20,719 Speaker 1: bad play. No, it's a real thing. It's a collective 297 00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:27,040 Speaker 1: consciousness that manifests itself in the moment when one guy 298 00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:30,720 Speaker 1: does something like yeah, that's what we're supposed to be doing. 299 00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:34,720 Speaker 1: Let's go, and you can see other guys who are 300 00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:36,959 Speaker 1: who are not connected with the thing that guy just did. 301 00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:40,000 Speaker 1: Jump in on their part of it and do their thing. 302 00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:45,880 Speaker 1: It's a real emotional waste turns into a wave. Yeah, 303 00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:48,600 Speaker 1: and it's it's tangible for those who are involved in it. 304 00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:53,840 Speaker 1: But you gotta you gotta do it. You gotta get 305 00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:56,880 Speaker 1: ready for it for six days in advance. And if 306 00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:01,880 Speaker 1: nothing happens that makes you think you're gonna be in peril. 307 00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:07,280 Speaker 1: The demand for it takes so much energy you just 308 00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:08,840 Speaker 1: don't want to expend it. If I don't have to, 309 00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:10,840 Speaker 1: I'm not going you know what I'm saying. Yeah, it's 310 00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:13,439 Speaker 1: if if I'm if if these guys are gonna just 311 00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:15,160 Speaker 1: show up and they're not gonna they're gonna sting, well, 312 00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:18,600 Speaker 1: all right, well let's go play. Then it's it's a 313 00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:21,080 Speaker 1: completely different attitude. And it manifests itself in the way 314 00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:23,880 Speaker 1: you play, the way you carry yourself, your attitude, your physicality, 315 00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:27,040 Speaker 1: your speed, your explosion, all that. And it's a real thing. 316 00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:29,760 Speaker 1: And when the margins are so tight in this league 317 00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:32,760 Speaker 1: and you take your foot off the gas ever so slightly, 318 00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:36,720 Speaker 1: it can turn a win into a loss. I'm giving 319 00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:41,280 Speaker 1: an example this last week. The Denver Broncos absolutely throttle 320 00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:44,720 Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys throttle them they get late in the 321 00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:47,600 Speaker 1: game and that they have done if they are not 322 00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:52,840 Speaker 1: coming back, it's too late. The moment they go boom touchdown, 323 00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:56,640 Speaker 1: boom touchdown. Now it's thirty sixteen. Because they just said, 324 00:18:56,680 --> 00:19:00,640 Speaker 1: they just they just stood up and like stretched. That's 325 00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:05,320 Speaker 1: all it takes. That's all it takes. Not mean that 326 00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:09,280 Speaker 1: that emotional content of the Browns or the Denver Broncos 327 00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:12,720 Speaker 1: was there until they knew the game was over. And 328 00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:15,400 Speaker 1: then it's because they're like, I am, I don't want 329 00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:17,280 Speaker 1: to do it anymore. Then the game became a lot closer. 330 00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:18,960 Speaker 1: It's fun to win, yeah, but I don't want to 331 00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:20,800 Speaker 1: do anymore. And all of a sudden, the Cowboys like, 332 00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:23,880 Speaker 1: let's we're not getting embarrassed, and it's like dinging ding bang, 333 00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:27,840 Speaker 1: dinging ding bang. Not not such a lopsided win after all. 334 00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:32,359 Speaker 1: And that's and I mean, that's it, that two percent 335 00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:35,200 Speaker 1: we talk about all the time. Would you see it swing? 336 00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:39,840 Speaker 1: I mean the Cowboys were That's what That's what it 337 00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:43,880 Speaker 1: makes this game so compelling because it's just that little 338 00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:45,879 Speaker 1: bit that can turn a game on its head. The 339 00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:48,720 Speaker 1: Broncos go out first quarter, minute forty eight left. They 340 00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:52,840 Speaker 1: score their first touchdown right. They come back, and it's 341 00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:55,320 Speaker 1: in the second quarter, twelve minutes left. Boom, another long 342 00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:57,600 Speaker 1: touchdown right over the top of the best defensive player 343 00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:03,480 Speaker 1: in the league days Trayvon most opportunistic in the league. 344 00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:07,720 Speaker 1: So now it's nineteen they score again. Now it's like 345 00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:12,879 Speaker 1: twenty six nothing, twenty seven nothing, twenty six nothing. I mean, 346 00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:18,000 Speaker 1: they just keep going. They're pounding them, and they gat 347 00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:20,000 Speaker 1: you know, the game starts to get out of hand, 348 00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:24,760 Speaker 1: and it's just all of a sudden, the Broncos are 349 00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:27,600 Speaker 1: like going, Okay, we got him, let's let's start thinking 350 00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:30,040 Speaker 1: about next week. And all of a sudden, the Cowboys 351 00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:31,960 Speaker 1: are like lightning, like like they thought they were going 352 00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:34,160 Speaker 1: to do in the beginning of the game. That's all 353 00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:39,240 Speaker 1: it takes. It's crazy, yeah, And it's interesting that you 354 00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:42,720 Speaker 1: say that, because I thought coach mcdermot's comments to the 355 00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:46,600 Speaker 1: media yesterday were very interesting the most. The one that 356 00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:49,760 Speaker 1: stood out the most to me was when he was 357 00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:54,320 Speaker 1: asked if the message changes for his team after a 358 00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:57,760 Speaker 1: game like yesterday as opposed to a game that they 359 00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:00,560 Speaker 1: lose on a last second play like they did against Tennessee, 360 00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:04,719 Speaker 1: and he said the message doesn't really change in terms 361 00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:10,240 Speaker 1: of his core beliefs and what he feels remain the same, 362 00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:14,720 Speaker 1: win or lose. But he did say the game is 363 00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:19,080 Speaker 1: played in a physical way and we need to be 364 00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:22,960 Speaker 1: more physical. So that was part of my message Monday. 365 00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:25,840 Speaker 1: So I would just say a little bit of both 366 00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:28,080 Speaker 1: is probably the best answer he could give. The message 367 00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:32,760 Speaker 1: changes a little bit. But how about that he told 368 00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:36,760 Speaker 1: his team point blank, this game is played in a 369 00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:40,680 Speaker 1: physical way and we need to be more physical. That's 370 00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:42,840 Speaker 1: what the film told him from Sunday exactly. And that 371 00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:45,000 Speaker 1: when he says the game is played, when he says 372 00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:48,919 Speaker 1: that to a team, it's the math is easy for 373 00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:51,480 Speaker 1: you're sitting there. It's like there is no math. We 374 00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:54,919 Speaker 1: didn't do that. He's called we were soft. It's basically 375 00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:57,639 Speaker 1: what he's saying, you guys were soft. If he has 376 00:21:57,680 --> 00:21:59,800 Speaker 1: to come back and say, listen, it's a physical game. 377 00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:04,479 Speaker 1: To be more physical. What he's saying is you were 378 00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:08,240 Speaker 1: too soft Sunday. And that's and that is the concern 379 00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:11,359 Speaker 1: that I've raised a couple of times this season because 380 00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:14,720 Speaker 1: I think there's there's evidence in each of their losses 381 00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:17,920 Speaker 1: this year, Pittsburgh lost the battle at the line of 382 00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:22,639 Speaker 1: scrimmage on offense, UM Tennessee lost the battle at the 383 00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:25,399 Speaker 1: line of scrimmage on offense and defense, well maybe not 384 00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:31,160 Speaker 1: offense as much, but defense definitely UM And then Sunday 385 00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:33,600 Speaker 1: their offense lost the battle at the line of scrimmage. 386 00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:36,240 Speaker 1: When you when this team loses it the line of scrimmage, 387 00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:40,600 Speaker 1: it's hard for them to win. Yeah, and it doesn't 388 00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:42,560 Speaker 1: even have to be on both sides of the ball. 389 00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:44,520 Speaker 1: If they lose it the line of scrimmage on just 390 00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:47,480 Speaker 1: one side of the ball, it becomes a lot harder 391 00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:49,760 Speaker 1: for this team to win football games. So that's why 392 00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:53,800 Speaker 1: I thought that message was very on point by coach mcdermotte. Well, 393 00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:54,960 Speaker 1: you know, he's going to have his hand on the 394 00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:56,960 Speaker 1: pulse of what's going on. But that's and I think 395 00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:59,199 Speaker 1: too that this team, as good as it is, and 396 00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:01,119 Speaker 1: I think they know how good they are, no question 397 00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:06,320 Speaker 1: about it. It's it's so easy for them to say 398 00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:09,520 Speaker 1: we got this. Yeah, they watched these teams on them 399 00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:11,920 Speaker 1: like they're watching the Jags on Film two and they're going, 400 00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:15,040 Speaker 1: I mean, I can't tell you, Steve, how different that 401 00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:19,040 Speaker 1: Jaguars team looks exactly on Sunday than what I just 402 00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:21,920 Speaker 1: watched them do on tape the week before. It was like, 403 00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,280 Speaker 1: so if they weren't even the same team, if you're 404 00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:28,359 Speaker 1: if you're the contrast was ipop so if you're McDermott, 405 00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:32,720 Speaker 1: you're showing the Bills the Jets Tennessee game and the 406 00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:36,800 Speaker 1: Jets game, which, by the way, Steve, not for nothing. 407 00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:40,840 Speaker 1: The Jets play an awful lot better at home than 408 00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:43,359 Speaker 1: they do on the road. They are a plucky bunch 409 00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:48,000 Speaker 1: at home. And let's not forget last year Week one 410 00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:50,240 Speaker 1: was a ten point game and what was it Week 411 00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:54,040 Speaker 1: nine ten game? Well, no, that was the second meeting. 412 00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:57,240 Speaker 1: That was an eight point game. Season opener twenty seven seventeen, 413 00:23:57,280 --> 00:24:01,280 Speaker 1: Bills win by ten, and then mid season somewhere around 414 00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:03,880 Speaker 1: Week ten or eleven, six field goals, eighteen to ten, 415 00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:07,200 Speaker 1: eight point game. This is not gonna be a blowout. 416 00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:09,760 Speaker 1: I'm just saying it right now. I'll be surprised if 417 00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:12,720 Speaker 1: it is, because, especially the way the Jets play at home. 418 00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:16,200 Speaker 1: They've beaten Tennessee in Cincinnati at home. Granted, Tennessee did 419 00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:18,240 Speaker 1: not have Julio Jones or AJ Brown in the game, 420 00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:22,920 Speaker 1: but took him to overtime and won an ot with 421 00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:26,600 Speaker 1: a roster that probably consists of sixty five percent of 422 00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:30,239 Speaker 1: players that belong in the NFL. I mean, they're not 423 00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:32,880 Speaker 1: playing with a full deck in New York right now. 424 00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:34,840 Speaker 1: They're just not. They just they got a lot of 425 00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:37,840 Speaker 1: youth on that team. It's probably ten twelve guys that 426 00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:40,280 Speaker 1: probably shouldn't even be in the league and they're on 427 00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:45,200 Speaker 1: the active roster and they're playing. So despite all of that, 428 00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:47,920 Speaker 1: it's probably gonna be somewhere between a seven and ten 429 00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:51,919 Speaker 1: point game, probably right just because of the way they 430 00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:56,400 Speaker 1: play at home. It's a division opponent. It's just it's 431 00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:58,680 Speaker 1: gonna be nip and tuck Man, gonna be nip and 432 00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:02,320 Speaker 1: tuck this. And you look at looking around the conference. 433 00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:06,760 Speaker 1: Forget about the lead the conference. I mean, everybody, anybody 434 00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:09,800 Speaker 1: who starts flying high in this conferences gets their knees 435 00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:13,560 Speaker 1: chopped out the next week. He had. Two weeks ago, 436 00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:18,520 Speaker 1: Cincinnati was the one seed too straight they lost. You know, 437 00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:20,600 Speaker 1: now Tennessee's at the top of the mountain. They've won 438 00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:22,480 Speaker 1: five in a row. Let's see if the law of 439 00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:27,520 Speaker 1: averages comes and gets them right. Pittsburgh's now won four 440 00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:30,560 Speaker 1: in a row. Who's coming for them? Yeah, Tennessee was 441 00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:34,040 Speaker 1: two and two and just so you know, the Steelers 442 00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:37,160 Speaker 1: play the Lions this week at home. They're not going 443 00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:40,240 Speaker 1: anywhere the O and eight Lions. And Mike Tomlin and 444 00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:43,400 Speaker 1: his press conference this week has already said we play 445 00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:47,840 Speaker 1: in the NFL. There are no FCS games. There are 446 00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:51,520 Speaker 1: no homecoming games. He was, he was running them all 447 00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:54,520 Speaker 1: out there. There are no homecoming games. Now there are. 448 00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:58,040 Speaker 1: There's eleven teams with five wins in the AFC, starting 449 00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:01,760 Speaker 1: with Denver, going all the way up to the Chargers 450 00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:05,520 Speaker 1: at the three seed. Denver's the eleventh seed. The Chargers 451 00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:10,760 Speaker 1: are the three seed. Yeah. Wow, Let's let's take a 452 00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:13,320 Speaker 1: couple of phone calls. Eight oh three oh five fifty 453 00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:15,919 Speaker 1: one eight eight five fifty two, five fifty and we're 454 00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:18,880 Speaker 1: gonna lead off here with Jim on a cell. Jim, 455 00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:23,720 Speaker 1: what do you have for us? You're on one Bill's Live. Hello, Jim. Yeah, 456 00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:27,120 Speaker 1: oh yeah, you're talking to me. Yeah we are. Well, 457 00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:30,920 Speaker 1: I'm not on the sell anyway. Quick roll back to 458 00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:34,840 Speaker 1: yesterday on that gentleman that called back about worst offensive 459 00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:39,120 Speaker 1: line play he's ever seen. Yeah, remember back to back 460 00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:42,320 Speaker 1: two and fourteen seasons and I was there, So let's 461 00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:47,760 Speaker 1: not talk about bad offensive line now, Steve officiating, how 462 00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:52,000 Speaker 1: can it be that so many calls went against the 463 00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:56,400 Speaker 1: Bears and only two went against the Steelers. I'm sorry, 464 00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:58,760 Speaker 1: I don't give it darn how good the Steelers are, 465 00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:04,480 Speaker 1: They're not ed good. The officiating this year has some 466 00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:08,119 Speaker 1: of the I've been watching football over sixty years, and 467 00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:10,600 Speaker 1: the officiating this year is some of the worst I 468 00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:16,240 Speaker 1: have ever ever seen. And that crew that officiated for 469 00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:21,399 Speaker 1: the Bills against Jacksonville the guy NFL on the sidelines 470 00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:25,000 Speaker 1: for two years before he was promoted to referee, so 471 00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:30,320 Speaker 1: he is not exactly one of the best, shall we say, 472 00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:32,439 Speaker 1: I mean in the year, let's be kind, He's stunk 473 00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:35,959 Speaker 1: and I think that crew needs to be reviewed and 474 00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:39,879 Speaker 1: broken apart. So anyway, that's my comment. I'll let you 475 00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:43,080 Speaker 1: guys go have a nice a day. And oh, I 476 00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:45,560 Speaker 1: think the Bills will do better this week simply because 477 00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:48,400 Speaker 1: they're going to have some time to practice on the online. 478 00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:50,680 Speaker 1: Take care of guys, All right, thanks, Jim, appreciate the 479 00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:53,840 Speaker 1: phone call. I didn't even I said yesterday, I didn't 480 00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:55,720 Speaker 1: even have to go back to the mid eighties and 481 00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:57,879 Speaker 1: the two and fourteen teams. You only had to go 482 00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:00,280 Speaker 1: back to twenty eighteen. That team couldn't win the line 483 00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:03,600 Speaker 1: of scrimmage on offense either, and it prompted Brandon Being 484 00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:06,840 Speaker 1: of the personnel department to sign four new offensive linemen 485 00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:10,600 Speaker 1: in free agency that offseason. That was a rough year too. 486 00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:13,440 Speaker 1: Here's what I think about the officiating in its current 487 00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:19,760 Speaker 1: state in the NFL. Over the last five or six years, 488 00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:22,760 Speaker 1: we've kind of scene to accelerate. But let's think about 489 00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:25,280 Speaker 1: it where the officials are, particularly the long term guys 490 00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:29,480 Speaker 1: and even the new ones. They've witnessed and been a 491 00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:31,960 Speaker 1: part of a transition in the National Football League that 492 00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:34,800 Speaker 1: went from a run and stopped the run league to 493 00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:39,880 Speaker 1: a throwing league where it's getting after the quarterback and 494 00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:44,560 Speaker 1: creating turns, turnovers, pass interference, the DPI OPI no contact 495 00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:48,040 Speaker 1: down the field, and mix in another thing, players safety. 496 00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:52,080 Speaker 1: The quarterback is protected in the pocket, runners are protected, 497 00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:54,520 Speaker 1: the defenders are protected. The hits have to be different. 498 00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:57,160 Speaker 1: Then you got another thing. There's a line now to 499 00:28:57,200 --> 00:29:00,920 Speaker 1: be drawn between taunting and celebrating. It's the difference. How 500 00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:02,920 Speaker 1: do you know are you gonna do it? Now? Think 501 00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:06,480 Speaker 1: about what taunting and celebrating ask for the officials. It 502 00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:10,280 Speaker 1: used to be the play the whistle stops, the play stops. 503 00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:12,560 Speaker 1: Guys get up. Nothing's going on, no fights or anything 504 00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:14,640 Speaker 1: like that's just normal play. Guys get up. That's it. 505 00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:17,640 Speaker 1: The officials can talk about where the ball spotted or 506 00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:21,080 Speaker 1: how close are they the first down? Any flags going on? Anything? Okay, fine, 507 00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:24,520 Speaker 1: Now they're still officiating. They still have to officiate and 508 00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:26,840 Speaker 1: make sure a guy's not taunting somebody or something else 509 00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:28,880 Speaker 1: is going on over here, or that there's an undue 510 00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:31,800 Speaker 1: celebration over here that turns into a taunting penalty. They're 511 00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:35,400 Speaker 1: now having to officiate between the whistles, and that's a 512 00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:39,080 Speaker 1: big ask. And we've seen this evolution happen over the 513 00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:41,720 Speaker 1: last I don't know, half a dozen years, where it 514 00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:46,000 Speaker 1: is accelerated. Now they've got and now they continue to 515 00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:48,240 Speaker 1: tinker with what they can do and what they can do. 516 00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:50,840 Speaker 1: Now you can't cut low on the outside. You can't 517 00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:54,440 Speaker 1: cut low as a defender or an offensive player. And 518 00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:57,920 Speaker 1: I think the officiating department has recognized that they need help. 519 00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:00,000 Speaker 1: That's why we have the sky judge. The sky judge 520 00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:01,680 Speaker 1: just happening to it. But the sky judge is limited. 521 00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:03,719 Speaker 1: He can't call a play that's anything. He can he 522 00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:05,880 Speaker 1: helps them with the spots and all that, which is great, 523 00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:08,440 Speaker 1: and that is helping some and we're getting an idea 524 00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:11,840 Speaker 1: what we're missing because hey, I thought they spotted it there, 525 00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:13,600 Speaker 1: and they just spotted at the right spot because of 526 00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:16,240 Speaker 1: the guy upstairs. Without saying anything to anybody. We don't 527 00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:18,760 Speaker 1: need to know all that, and that's fine, But all 528 00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:22,000 Speaker 1: of that going in that what they're asking the NFL 529 00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:25,720 Speaker 1: officials to do has changed drastically over the last half 530 00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:28,400 Speaker 1: dozen years. And I told you, Brine, I keep saying it. 531 00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:32,040 Speaker 1: We don't most fans are. I guess the rules are fine. 532 00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:34,360 Speaker 1: Whatever the rules are, the rules are. Just call it 533 00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:38,080 Speaker 1: the same in this game as you did in that game. 534 00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:40,760 Speaker 1: Call it the same in this stadium on this weekend 535 00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:42,959 Speaker 1: as you are in that stadium on this weekend. And 536 00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:45,080 Speaker 1: call it the same in this quarter, the first quarters, 537 00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:47,720 Speaker 1: you are in the fourth quarter in overtime, call it 538 00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:51,080 Speaker 1: consistently across the board as much as you can. Well, 539 00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:55,760 Speaker 1: you say that, and then you make all these new 540 00:30:55,840 --> 00:31:00,840 Speaker 1: rules that are subjective. Was that kid last night, marsh 541 00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:04,400 Speaker 1: was he taunting or celebrating? And how long is it last? 542 00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:08,160 Speaker 1: And when do I throw the flag? All this subjective 543 00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:10,920 Speaker 1: stuff has now been entered into it, and it's a 544 00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:15,880 Speaker 1: huge penalty. It's a crusher. Yeah, so they don't you know, 545 00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:18,360 Speaker 1: they don't care. They gotta they throw the flag. So 546 00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:22,480 Speaker 1: the officiating in the NFL has changed drastically over the 547 00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:27,920 Speaker 1: last five ten years for sure, and they've started to 548 00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:33,640 Speaker 1: acquire and pay more and more full time officials, which 549 00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:38,280 Speaker 1: will help. But consistency is gonna lack until they stop 550 00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:42,320 Speaker 1: changing the rules at such a fast rate. So when 551 00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:44,160 Speaker 1: they start, when we get to a room, maybe next 552 00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:46,640 Speaker 1: year when they line up it'll be the exact same 553 00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:49,600 Speaker 1: rule book as it is this year. Then maybe they'll 554 00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:50,840 Speaker 1: start to get it right when they can talk to 555 00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:53,560 Speaker 1: the officials in the offseason, show them film clips, show 556 00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:55,400 Speaker 1: them this, that and the other. I can call this 557 00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:58,320 Speaker 1: but not this, call that but not that, you know, 558 00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:00,600 Speaker 1: this kind of stuff, when they can do that more often, 559 00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:02,920 Speaker 1: and they do that now even but you know, it's 560 00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:06,760 Speaker 1: an ongoing process. But next so you kind of get 561 00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:08,200 Speaker 1: the hang of it at the end of the season. Well, 562 00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:09,920 Speaker 1: and then next season comes and now they've got another 563 00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:13,080 Speaker 1: rule changes. There's no there's very limited on ramp. So 564 00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:15,720 Speaker 1: that's the So that's the problem. The officials are under yeah, 565 00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:19,520 Speaker 1: and the real problem is you got this crew and you, 566 00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:21,640 Speaker 1: like you said, they should break up this officiating crew. 567 00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:23,600 Speaker 1: I don't think so. What they just need to do 568 00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:26,240 Speaker 1: is show this officiating crew what other officiating crews are calling, 569 00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:29,080 Speaker 1: and those other officiating crews what this officiating crew, and 570 00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:32,120 Speaker 1: then decide on what's going to be called and let 571 00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:35,800 Speaker 1: everybody know. All you just let's let everybody know and 572 00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:38,000 Speaker 1: then try and do it consistently. And we'd be remissed 573 00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:40,640 Speaker 1: if we didn't mention that the previous head of officiating 574 00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:43,920 Speaker 1: didn't do the rank and file any favors in terms 575 00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:47,680 Speaker 1: of leadership. Um, they have better leadership now, yes, but 576 00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:51,040 Speaker 1: previously not so high. But that's my that's my rants 577 00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:53,280 Speaker 1: on officiate. That was very good. Thank you. I learned 578 00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:55,520 Speaker 1: so I feel by feel better. I'm glad you do. 579 00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:58,760 Speaker 1: We have to take a break though, so your calls 580 00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:00,760 Speaker 1: at eight oh three oh five fifty, we'll get to 581 00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:02,840 Speaker 1: them as quick as we can. We have to take 582 00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:04,680 Speaker 1: a break here. We're also going to hear from Coach 583 00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:08,760 Speaker 1: McDermott and the coordinators as they kind of reviewed the 584 00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:13,440 Speaker 1: tape from Sunday and their thoughts on it and what 585 00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:15,480 Speaker 1: the team's going to do going forward. That's all coming 586 00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:17,960 Speaker 1: your way next, along with Kyle Brandt an our number two. 587 00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:20,479 Speaker 1: All coming up here on One Bill's Line, presented by 588 00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:34,280 Speaker 1: Kalid to Health. It's Buffalo Bill's Radio. I'm gonna get 589 00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:35,960 Speaker 1: back to some of the phone calls here on One 590 00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:38,760 Speaker 1: Bills Live before we pass along some coordinator comments to you, 591 00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:42,960 Speaker 1: and we go now to Frank in Pendleton. Frank, what 592 00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:46,240 Speaker 1: do you have for us? You're on One Bill's Life. Hey, guys, 593 00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:51,960 Speaker 1: just two quick observations. One is compared to last year 594 00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:55,680 Speaker 1: on the Bill's offense, when we're getting blitzed, especially in 595 00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:58,120 Speaker 1: the last couple of games, when they're sending six guys 596 00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:01,120 Speaker 1: after Josh Ellen, it does seem like there's a hot 597 00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:04,640 Speaker 1: read receiver. Now doesn't seem like anybody is cutting in 598 00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:07,160 Speaker 1: front or running a slant where he can get rid 599 00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:10,600 Speaker 1: of the ball quick. The second observation, and I've seen 600 00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:13,680 Speaker 1: this all last year, and I think it's started in 601 00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:16,920 Speaker 1: the championship game against Kansas City, is that when we're 602 00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:19,800 Speaker 1: in the red zone, it doesn't seem like we're throwing 603 00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:23,440 Speaker 1: anything into the end zone. It always seems like we're 604 00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:26,200 Speaker 1: trying to throw everything short. And have somebody else run 605 00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:29,760 Speaker 1: the ball in which obviously doesn't seem to be working. 606 00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:32,480 Speaker 1: And I think that was very evident in the Jacksonville game. 607 00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:34,680 Speaker 1: I'd like to hear what you guys have to say, 608 00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:37,680 Speaker 1: so I'll hang up now. Yeah, thanks Frank. We talked 609 00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:41,640 Speaker 1: to Eric what about that yesterday? Steve the having hot 610 00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:46,040 Speaker 1: routes and things like that as automatic answers when you 611 00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:48,880 Speaker 1: know the blitz is coming. I'm not going to pretend 612 00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:52,080 Speaker 1: to know whether or not those already have been implemented 613 00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:56,080 Speaker 1: or or you have been utilized. I'd like to think 614 00:34:56,120 --> 00:34:59,439 Speaker 1: they're in there somewhere. I just don't think we've seen 615 00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:02,760 Speaker 1: an execute, so it leaves us wondering are those things 616 00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:06,120 Speaker 1: on when when you see the blitz coming. Well, that's 617 00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:08,560 Speaker 1: that's why we've seen Josh whip it to the sideline 618 00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:10,759 Speaker 1: so much. Yeah, that is their answer for a lot 619 00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:12,520 Speaker 1: of that, And some of that is Josh checking to 620 00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:15,200 Speaker 1: that same thing instead of something else, because if you 621 00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:17,160 Speaker 1: start doing that too much, teams will start, you know, 622 00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:20,640 Speaker 1: jumping the routes, sending pressure and knowing that that's your reader, 623 00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:22,720 Speaker 1: that's your go to, then they're just sending somebody stepped 624 00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:24,680 Speaker 1: between Josh and the receiver and try and pick it off. 625 00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:27,280 Speaker 1: You can't become predictable, so you've got to have different answers. 626 00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:29,480 Speaker 1: But the Bills have been Their answer has been for 627 00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:32,840 Speaker 1: the most part, either too change the protection, bring a 628 00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:34,839 Speaker 1: tight end ins put him in the backfield that kind 629 00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:37,400 Speaker 1: of stuff, or whip the ball out quick to the 630 00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:39,400 Speaker 1: sideline has been one of the things we've seen a 631 00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:42,719 Speaker 1: lot of too, So that changes game to game. Over 632 00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:44,440 Speaker 1: the last couple of games, we've seen a lot of it. 633 00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:47,880 Speaker 1: I think a lot of fans remember John Brown scored 634 00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:51,680 Speaker 1: two touchdowns as the hot receiver when a blitz was 635 00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:55,040 Speaker 1: coming in his time with Buffalo and scored a touchdown 636 00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:56,680 Speaker 1: on one of it on one of them, almost scored 637 00:35:56,719 --> 00:35:59,640 Speaker 1: a touchdown on another. Uh, you know, as a as 638 00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:03,120 Speaker 1: a vote unquote hot receiver. And I guess because we 639 00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:06,200 Speaker 1: haven't seen it as much with the same degree of success, 640 00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:09,000 Speaker 1: people are wondering if it's in there. And then the 641 00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:11,880 Speaker 1: second part of his question was not seeing throws to 642 00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:14,279 Speaker 1: the end zone when they're in the red zone. Now 643 00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:16,520 Speaker 1: they've done it some with Dawset. It seems like the 644 00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:19,080 Speaker 1: tight ends have been the most frequent targets down there. 645 00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:23,640 Speaker 1: But you know you got you got some pretty good 646 00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:27,959 Speaker 1: guys running rounds out there. Here's what the red zone 647 00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:30,560 Speaker 1: is for me. Here's where it all comes down to. 648 00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:34,400 Speaker 1: The best teams. The best red zone teams in the 649 00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:37,359 Speaker 1: NFL are the ones that can run it down there 650 00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:41,839 Speaker 1: down there. Yeah, that answers your question right there. When 651 00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:44,040 Speaker 1: the Bills were really good, Josh ran it a lot, 652 00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:47,600 Speaker 1: Singletary and Moss ran a lot. We saw Moss in 653 00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:50,600 Speaker 1: Week two go in twice in the red zone. When 654 00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:52,520 Speaker 1: you're gonna do that, when you're really good in the 655 00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:55,120 Speaker 1: red zone, you can run it or you're a real 656 00:36:55,239 --> 00:36:58,040 Speaker 1: threat to run it in the red zone. I don't 657 00:36:58,040 --> 00:37:00,839 Speaker 1: think the Bills are that this year. I'd like to 658 00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:04,120 Speaker 1: see them run out of four wide looks more often. 659 00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:07,600 Speaker 1: I hearkened back to and I realized it was a 660 00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:12,200 Speaker 1: different time in football. But chan Gaily turned CJ. Spiller 661 00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:15,120 Speaker 1: into a six yards per carry guy for the season 662 00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:18,520 Speaker 1: running out of four wide looks with a single backset 663 00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:22,160 Speaker 1: because he knew if he created space for CJ. He 664 00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:25,680 Speaker 1: would be a much more effective runner then by packing 665 00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:28,480 Speaker 1: it in with two tight ends and everything else. I 666 00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:30,680 Speaker 1: wonder if they can go back to that in some way, 667 00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:33,839 Speaker 1: shape or form. I mean, think about Vince Young when 668 00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:35,920 Speaker 1: he was the quarterback with the Titans when they got 669 00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:38,680 Speaker 1: down in the red zone, Jeff Fisher spread the whole 670 00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:40,880 Speaker 1: thing out and then he would run out of that 671 00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:44,040 Speaker 1: if he had nobody. What the Bills did with Josh, Yeah, 672 00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:46,120 Speaker 1: I think they can get back. I think I think 673 00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:48,280 Speaker 1: he answered your own question though when c J. Spiller, 674 00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:50,560 Speaker 1: when he spread it out the one thing CJ. Spiller 675 00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:53,520 Speaker 1: had that the Bills don't right now with Moss and Singletary. 676 00:37:53,560 --> 00:37:56,399 Speaker 1: Speed got it with Brita. Same speed there. And that 677 00:37:56,640 --> 00:38:01,239 Speaker 1: is my next point was I wonder if they're gonna 678 00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:04,640 Speaker 1: make a change. Yeah, that seems to me like maybe 679 00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:09,000 Speaker 1: when they would try, it's one that could seemingly fix something, 680 00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:12,440 Speaker 1: not everything it would give you. Yeah, And I don't know. 681 00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:14,200 Speaker 1: I'm not in the red zone. I'm not saying like, 682 00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:16,359 Speaker 1: I'm not even saying I don't like Moss' Singletary. I'm 683 00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:20,000 Speaker 1: just saying, no, the toolbox that Breeda brings is what 684 00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:22,279 Speaker 1: you were looking for and why people wanted you to 685 00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:25,719 Speaker 1: take Naji Harris or Travis at N in the draft 686 00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:27,920 Speaker 1: this year. They were a home run hitter. Yeah, I 687 00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:29,879 Speaker 1: don't know if Naji Harris is a home run hitter, 688 00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:34,279 Speaker 1: but etn unquestionably is. So if you've got a guy 689 00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:37,360 Speaker 1: like that, maybe if the if we see the Bills 690 00:38:37,360 --> 00:38:41,520 Speaker 1: adjust in a manner like that, if Breed is active, 691 00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:44,799 Speaker 1: keep an eye out as to how things change offensively, 692 00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:48,120 Speaker 1: that'll be particularly in the red zone. Yeah, well even 693 00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:52,200 Speaker 1: between the twenties. Let's go to Dan and Rochester next, Dan, 694 00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:54,680 Speaker 1: what do you have for a Steve? You could be 695 00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:59,560 Speaker 1: in the Hall of than Steve. Thanks, Dan, appreciate Ah. 696 00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:03,759 Speaker 1: You hear Keishan Johnson today, did not hear him? He 697 00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:09,399 Speaker 1: predicted Buffo all one the division them, so he thinks 698 00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:12,200 Speaker 1: New England's gonna catch them and win the division. Yeah, 699 00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:16,319 Speaker 1: Dan was just dot com. Yeah, Keshan is always he's 700 00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:19,279 Speaker 1: always favored the Patriots because of what the Patriots have 701 00:39:19,320 --> 00:39:22,800 Speaker 1: done the last twenty years, and his respect for Buffalo 702 00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:26,080 Speaker 1: has been very limited on the whole. That's okay, we'na 703 00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:28,759 Speaker 1: We're gonna kick fuck this week, no problem, thank you, 704 00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:32,200 Speaker 1: all right? I appreciate it, Dan, um Yeah. I mean 705 00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:35,520 Speaker 1: the national pundits they pay it. They only pay attention 706 00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:38,120 Speaker 1: when a team has had a long run of sustained 707 00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:40,680 Speaker 1: success and they get the benefit of the doubt from 708 00:39:40,719 --> 00:39:45,040 Speaker 1: just about everybody. Um, if you've asked Keshan how many 709 00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:47,560 Speaker 1: Bills games he's watched, I can venture to guess that 710 00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:51,840 Speaker 1: he'd be holding up a zero. Um, so his opinion 711 00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:54,640 Speaker 1: doesn't carry a lot of weight with me. Uh, eight 712 00:39:54,680 --> 00:39:57,279 Speaker 1: oh three, oh five fifty. Let's go back to the 713 00:39:57,320 --> 00:39:59,520 Speaker 1: phones into Frank and Akron. Frank, what do you have 714 00:39:59,560 --> 00:40:02,200 Speaker 1: for us? You're one Bill's life. I think I came 715 00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:06,000 Speaker 1: in at the end of somebody talking about McDermott saying 716 00:40:06,040 --> 00:40:08,680 Speaker 1: the team wasn't playing, says it going off was accurate, 717 00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:12,000 Speaker 1: but well that his comments yesterday to the media were 718 00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:15,080 Speaker 1: that he told his team this is a game, that 719 00:40:15,440 --> 00:40:17,480 Speaker 1: it's a physical game and we have to play more 720 00:40:17,520 --> 00:40:19,759 Speaker 1: physical And it's not the first time he's told his 721 00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:22,640 Speaker 1: team that. So yeah, you know, it's interesting. They have 722 00:40:22,680 --> 00:40:27,320 Speaker 1: an interesting dilemma with coaching and in the culture that organization, 723 00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:31,840 Speaker 1: because you know, they've gone a long way toward drafting 724 00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:35,520 Speaker 1: quality people. There's none of them that you listen to 725 00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:38,439 Speaker 1: be an interviewed where you know you're cringing because they're 726 00:40:38,440 --> 00:40:42,719 Speaker 1: obnoxious or they're stupid or whatever, and they love each other, 727 00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:46,320 Speaker 1: that whole family thing and all this, but they're a 728 00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:49,759 Speaker 1: little too cute, you know. And I don't think this 729 00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:54,960 Speaker 1: addition of the bills has a reputation for like terrifying people. 730 00:40:55,520 --> 00:41:00,359 Speaker 1: And uh, you know, this is a brutal game high 731 00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:02,759 Speaker 1: school and college hockey for a number of years, and 732 00:41:03,239 --> 00:41:05,280 Speaker 1: you know, the average guy in a stands doesn't realize 733 00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:09,680 Speaker 1: how ugly it is at ground level. And you know, 734 00:41:09,719 --> 00:41:13,279 Speaker 1: I get a little concerned with the quarterback coming into 735 00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:15,600 Speaker 1: the tunnel dress as Phil Nicholson. I get a little 736 00:41:15,640 --> 00:41:18,279 Speaker 1: concerned with some of these guys look like Barbie dolls 737 00:41:18,320 --> 00:41:20,680 Speaker 1: when they're getting on the plane and stuff. And I'm 738 00:41:20,719 --> 00:41:23,440 Speaker 1: not trying to be funny, you're flipping, But I think 739 00:41:23,480 --> 00:41:27,600 Speaker 1: you need to set a culture. And it's easy. You know, 740 00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:30,480 Speaker 1: anybody who's played these types of sports knows that it's 741 00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:35,280 Speaker 1: real easy to lose that edge. And you know, unless 742 00:41:35,320 --> 00:41:37,040 Speaker 1: you create the right culture, you are going to lose 743 00:41:37,040 --> 00:41:40,200 Speaker 1: that edge. I remember reading a history of the Oakland 744 00:41:40,280 --> 00:41:43,080 Speaker 1: Raiders one time where they were talking about, you know, 745 00:41:43,120 --> 00:41:46,480 Speaker 1: the reporter watches the first twelve guys get off the bus, 746 00:41:46,719 --> 00:41:49,200 Speaker 1: and you know, their dress had to tell the black 747 00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:51,640 Speaker 1: leather and they're missing teasing gold chains and all that, 748 00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:55,000 Speaker 1: and the report those were just the coaches, you know, 749 00:41:55,960 --> 00:41:59,600 Speaker 1: and that's an extreme example. But something's missing with this 750 00:41:59,719 --> 00:42:04,600 Speaker 1: team where they're not they're not brutalizing people in some ways, 751 00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:07,080 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, all right, Well, Gay, Yeah, 752 00:42:07,120 --> 00:42:10,239 Speaker 1: I have a hard time criticizing the culture. I really do. 753 00:42:10,320 --> 00:42:12,399 Speaker 1: I get it though, that has been in a long time. 754 00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:16,319 Speaker 1: When you and I'll say this too, I see what 755 00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:19,839 Speaker 1: you're saying. And that's one of the reasons why, without 756 00:42:19,880 --> 00:42:22,239 Speaker 1: getting too far down the rabbit hole, that's why you 757 00:42:22,320 --> 00:42:24,439 Speaker 1: got guys like John Feliciano, and that's why the old 758 00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:28,080 Speaker 1: bills of Meyer, I had guys like Darryl Talley on 759 00:42:28,080 --> 00:42:32,800 Speaker 1: on the team and Riche right, like you know, Leonard Smith, 760 00:42:32,880 --> 00:42:35,680 Speaker 1: and guys like that, Guys that if there was a 761 00:42:35,719 --> 00:42:38,000 Speaker 1: scuffle on the field, like I say, if they're not 762 00:42:38,080 --> 00:42:39,640 Speaker 1: in the middle of it, they're trying to get in. 763 00:42:39,640 --> 00:42:43,080 Speaker 1: They're on the way, They're on the way. And yeah, 764 00:42:43,120 --> 00:42:46,480 Speaker 1: that's why coaches like guys like that. I remember my 765 00:42:46,520 --> 00:42:48,440 Speaker 1: old coach was still one of the guys I love 766 00:42:48,520 --> 00:42:51,560 Speaker 1: playing for the most early in my career is Jerry Glanville. 767 00:42:52,120 --> 00:42:55,279 Speaker 1: The guy who left tickets for Elvis every game and 768 00:42:55,360 --> 00:42:57,759 Speaker 1: were you know, the slicker on the on the sidelines, 769 00:42:57,800 --> 00:43:00,440 Speaker 1: and you know he said this, he goes, want a 770 00:43:00,440 --> 00:43:04,000 Speaker 1: lot of guys on your team that are They've got 771 00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:07,200 Speaker 1: a wife, kids and a mortgage. They're solid, upstanding guys, 772 00:43:07,800 --> 00:43:09,560 Speaker 1: get more in their own law and you know what 773 00:43:09,560 --> 00:43:11,680 Speaker 1: you're gonna get there, just sweetheart of the guys. But 774 00:43:11,800 --> 00:43:14,520 Speaker 1: you also want just a handful of guys you just 775 00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:18,279 Speaker 1: hope they show up and ain't arrested that night. That 776 00:43:18,360 --> 00:43:20,640 Speaker 1: you need a handful of those guys to give your 777 00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:23,120 Speaker 1: team an edge. And and I think coach you're right. 778 00:43:23,160 --> 00:43:25,360 Speaker 1: I think Frank has a point to a certain extent. 779 00:43:25,600 --> 00:43:27,960 Speaker 1: I don't think they're deficient here in Buffalo for that. 780 00:43:28,719 --> 00:43:30,680 Speaker 1: But you can't be you can't shy away from it. 781 00:43:30,920 --> 00:43:33,000 Speaker 1: You've got to know that. Like I said earlier in 782 00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:39,919 Speaker 1: the program, you you're going into a big time physical confrontation. Yeah, 783 00:43:40,680 --> 00:43:43,000 Speaker 1: you got you gotta bring some attitude. I would I 784 00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:46,600 Speaker 1: would agree with Jerry Glanville. Uh, you need a handful 785 00:43:46,600 --> 00:43:48,759 Speaker 1: of stone cold killers on faster. You need some guys 786 00:43:48,760 --> 00:43:52,200 Speaker 1: that just do not care. Yeah, all right, we gotta 787 00:43:52,200 --> 00:43:54,160 Speaker 1: take a break we'll squeeze in some more of your 788 00:43:54,200 --> 00:43:56,080 Speaker 1: phone calls when we come back. It's One Bill's Live 789 00:43:56,160 --> 00:43:58,239 Speaker 1: presented by a Lot of Health. It's Buffalo Bill's Radio 790 00:44:12,680 --> 00:44:16,160 Speaker 1: nine for Reads Milestones presented by Reads. Jen's the official 791 00:44:16,239 --> 00:44:19,320 Speaker 1: jeweler of the Buffalo Bills. Tyler Bass has converted eighty 792 00:44:19,360 --> 00:44:21,800 Speaker 1: six point seven nine percent of his field goal attempts 793 00:44:21,800 --> 00:44:24,600 Speaker 1: in his career, which is the highest in Bill's history 794 00:44:24,600 --> 00:44:28,520 Speaker 1: among kickers with fifty or more attempts. It is just 795 00:44:28,760 --> 00:44:32,839 Speaker 1: ahead of former Bills kicker Stephen Houshka at eighty six 796 00:44:32,920 --> 00:44:37,680 Speaker 1: point five one percent in his career. Let's jump back 797 00:44:37,719 --> 00:44:41,839 Speaker 1: on the phones here and we go to Carl in Connecticut. Carl, 798 00:44:41,880 --> 00:44:45,959 Speaker 1: what do you have for us? You're on One Bill's Live. Yeah, Hi, guys, 799 00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:50,120 Speaker 1: can you hear me? Yeah? Cool. We'll start off on 800 00:44:50,160 --> 00:44:55,160 Speaker 1: a late note, Steve, I find myself getting upset watching 801 00:44:55,200 --> 00:45:00,400 Speaker 1: Bill games and pulling out some asterisms. Some times you 802 00:45:00,440 --> 00:45:03,600 Speaker 1: say ge gali gosh. So I just want you to 803 00:45:03,680 --> 00:45:11,120 Speaker 1: know that I'm hearing that sort um. On another note, 804 00:45:13,680 --> 00:45:15,680 Speaker 1: which I mean everyone's been talking about, but I just 805 00:45:15,680 --> 00:45:19,600 Speaker 1: want to make a few points um obviously, until we 806 00:45:19,680 --> 00:45:22,239 Speaker 1: get the offensive line up to speed. It's feel like 807 00:45:22,239 --> 00:45:26,080 Speaker 1: it's really hard to judge Josh Allen. The poor guy's 808 00:45:26,120 --> 00:45:28,759 Speaker 1: trying to make something happen at some point. And I 809 00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:31,040 Speaker 1: mean that would apply that to the running backs because 810 00:45:31,560 --> 00:45:35,160 Speaker 1: for lack of holes, I mean, why go after anyone else. 811 00:45:35,239 --> 00:45:37,319 Speaker 1: It's like, again, it's hard to judge them because no 812 00:45:37,360 --> 00:45:41,560 Speaker 1: opportunities or no holes. The other thing is um it 813 00:45:41,680 --> 00:45:44,480 Speaker 1: seems to be I don't know. I feel like I 814 00:45:44,560 --> 00:45:48,080 Speaker 1: feel like Josh is staying in the pocket a lot, 815 00:45:48,840 --> 00:45:52,600 Speaker 1: a lot more this season as opposed to last year. 816 00:45:53,160 --> 00:45:55,960 Speaker 1: He seemed to work better when they did some rollouts 817 00:45:56,600 --> 00:46:01,120 Speaker 1: or did some option plays, and in doing that it 818 00:46:01,320 --> 00:46:04,839 Speaker 1: created you know, the secondary he's gonna come up thinking 819 00:46:04,960 --> 00:46:07,480 Speaker 1: he's gonna run. It created. I felt like it created 820 00:46:07,520 --> 00:46:10,799 Speaker 1: more separation so he had the option to either throw 821 00:46:10,840 --> 00:46:14,480 Speaker 1: the ball or run on the fly, which then required 822 00:46:14,560 --> 00:46:17,759 Speaker 1: less to design runs. And I feel like that work. Now. 823 00:46:17,800 --> 00:46:20,160 Speaker 1: I'm not saying do exactly what they did last year. 824 00:46:20,200 --> 00:46:22,920 Speaker 1: I mean I guess in the sense that yeah, he 825 00:46:22,960 --> 00:46:27,160 Speaker 1: would roll out or to do more option plays. I 826 00:46:27,280 --> 00:46:30,239 Speaker 1: just feel like he's more of a threat when he 827 00:46:30,480 --> 00:46:32,400 Speaker 1: goes to the right or goes to left because they 828 00:46:32,400 --> 00:46:34,279 Speaker 1: don't know if he's going to run or not, and 829 00:46:34,360 --> 00:46:36,080 Speaker 1: I just feel like we're missing that and I think 830 00:46:36,120 --> 00:46:40,160 Speaker 1: that might have been maybe distracted from our offensive line 831 00:46:40,239 --> 00:46:42,759 Speaker 1: last year. I don't know, and just putting it out there, 832 00:46:42,840 --> 00:46:46,200 Speaker 1: I'd like to hear your opinions on that. Yeah, I'll 833 00:46:46,200 --> 00:46:49,160 Speaker 1: start here. I thought last week the Jaguars did a 834 00:46:49,280 --> 00:46:52,239 Speaker 1: very good job of being pretty disciplined in their rush 835 00:46:52,400 --> 00:46:55,399 Speaker 1: lanes not to get too high up the field, and 836 00:46:55,440 --> 00:46:57,080 Speaker 1: I thought at times they did a good job of 837 00:46:57,120 --> 00:47:00,480 Speaker 1: hemming him in what was a collapsing pocket from the 838 00:47:00,520 --> 00:47:03,799 Speaker 1: sides end from the front. Quite frankly, I don't know 839 00:47:03,800 --> 00:47:06,120 Speaker 1: how you feel about him not getting out on the 840 00:47:06,200 --> 00:47:09,160 Speaker 1: edges of the you know, of the defense a little 841 00:47:09,200 --> 00:47:11,720 Speaker 1: more often to make plays in the passing game. Well, 842 00:47:12,520 --> 00:47:14,279 Speaker 1: yeah he made. He had the two longest runs of 843 00:47:14,320 --> 00:47:16,239 Speaker 1: the day. Yes, the other last week running out of 844 00:47:16,280 --> 00:47:24,080 Speaker 1: the pocket. Teams are not allowing the Bills to run 845 00:47:24,120 --> 00:47:26,120 Speaker 1: deep routes. They're not letting them go deep. They're keeping 846 00:47:26,120 --> 00:47:29,080 Speaker 1: a too high safety all the time every time. And 847 00:47:29,280 --> 00:47:32,640 Speaker 1: I think because of Josh's ability to run, they're treating 848 00:47:32,680 --> 00:47:34,800 Speaker 1: him a little bit like the Bills treat Lamar Jackson. 849 00:47:34,960 --> 00:47:38,840 Speaker 1: Straight rush lanes. They'll rush. They'll maybe do some stunts 850 00:47:38,880 --> 00:47:41,759 Speaker 1: here and there on a long yardage situation, but if 851 00:47:41,760 --> 00:47:44,319 Speaker 1: it's a third and six or something like that, third 852 00:47:44,320 --> 00:47:46,759 Speaker 1: and three, it's a straight four man rush and you 853 00:47:46,760 --> 00:47:49,719 Speaker 1: don't get any loops or bends or twists because they 854 00:47:49,719 --> 00:47:51,600 Speaker 1: don't want him to get out. They want to make 855 00:47:51,640 --> 00:47:53,400 Speaker 1: sure he try and throw it, tries to throw it 856 00:47:53,440 --> 00:47:59,400 Speaker 1: from the pocket. You know, there's really not a you know, 857 00:47:59,520 --> 00:48:02,200 Speaker 1: magic wand you can wave and say, if the Bills 858 00:48:02,239 --> 00:48:04,600 Speaker 1: do this, there's no answer for anything they you know 859 00:48:04,640 --> 00:48:06,680 Speaker 1: that a defense can do. Certainly, when he got a 860 00:48:06,680 --> 00:48:09,239 Speaker 1: great player like Josh, he can make him pay for 861 00:48:09,280 --> 00:48:11,359 Speaker 1: when they make a mistake. Like when they do give 862 00:48:11,440 --> 00:48:13,080 Speaker 1: him a run lane on a third and short, he 863 00:48:13,120 --> 00:48:15,759 Speaker 1: just walks it over for the first down. Even on 864 00:48:15,800 --> 00:48:18,080 Speaker 1: a it was a third and thirty one last week 865 00:48:18,120 --> 00:48:22,200 Speaker 1: he got twenty two. That's a problem for some teams, 866 00:48:22,680 --> 00:48:24,279 Speaker 1: but they all have a plan for it, and I 867 00:48:24,320 --> 00:48:25,960 Speaker 1: think part of their plans to treat him a little 868 00:48:25,960 --> 00:48:28,239 Speaker 1: bit like people treat Lamar Jackson. They keep him in 869 00:48:28,320 --> 00:48:31,640 Speaker 1: the pocket deliberately, and unless you're gonna bootleg it or 870 00:48:31,760 --> 00:48:36,000 Speaker 1: naked sweep or whatever, then you know, you're not gonna 871 00:48:36,040 --> 00:48:38,799 Speaker 1: get him outside the pocket because there unless he, you know, 872 00:48:39,000 --> 00:48:41,120 Speaker 1: tries to do it. You remember, he's think about what 873 00:48:41,200 --> 00:48:43,480 Speaker 1: you saw in Jacksonville. He was trying to avoid guys 874 00:48:43,480 --> 00:48:45,760 Speaker 1: in the pockets stuff. They were keeping him in the pocket, 875 00:48:46,120 --> 00:48:50,440 Speaker 1: making him dodge and then escape, make somebody miss, then escape, 876 00:48:50,760 --> 00:48:52,680 Speaker 1: got a free rusher he's got to deal with, then 877 00:48:52,719 --> 00:48:55,480 Speaker 1: he escapes. It's not like they're just running him out there. 878 00:48:55,680 --> 00:48:59,440 Speaker 1: So I think teams having that plan and being generally 879 00:48:59,520 --> 00:49:02,319 Speaker 1: kind of the same depending on how they execute it, 880 00:49:02,360 --> 00:49:04,160 Speaker 1: is what they're looking at this year, and that's why 881 00:49:04,160 --> 00:49:06,360 Speaker 1: I think the Bills you see a lot of the 882 00:49:06,400 --> 00:49:09,720 Speaker 1: same type of plays happening for Buffalo Josh, either standing 883 00:49:09,840 --> 00:49:12,960 Speaker 1: there making the throw or avoiding somebody in the pocket 884 00:49:12,960 --> 00:49:15,680 Speaker 1: and then getting out and making something happen if he can. 885 00:49:16,760 --> 00:49:18,840 Speaker 1: So we'll see where that goes in the weeks that 886 00:49:18,960 --> 00:49:21,840 Speaker 1: follow here. We will get to some comments from the 887 00:49:21,880 --> 00:49:23,719 Speaker 1: coordinators a little bit later on in the show. We 888 00:49:23,800 --> 00:49:26,560 Speaker 1: have to break here though, because coming up next from 889 00:49:26,560 --> 00:49:29,960 Speaker 1: Good Morning Football, set to make his weekly appearance is 890 00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:32,359 Speaker 1: one Kyle Brandt. He joins us next here on One 891 00:49:32,400 --> 00:49:34,839 Speaker 1: Bill's Live, presented by Kaloid of health. It's Buffalo Bill's 892 00:49:34,920 --> 00:49:56,520 Speaker 1: Radio at a Steve Tasker who has been over the 893 00:49:56,680 --> 00:49:58,439 Speaker 1: fields kind of unique. He was kind of a dual 894 00:49:58,520 --> 00:50:05,239 Speaker 1: role players, se Steve a blimp. We're not even in 895 00:50:05,280 --> 00:50:11,239 Speaker 1: the strated beer of normalcy here. Fine, it is that 896 00:50:11,400 --> 00:50:14,160 Speaker 1: time of the week where we must hut what's so 897 00:50:14,239 --> 00:50:19,520 Speaker 1: funny over the Jay Jay Harris, h's extraordinary at that 898 00:50:19,600 --> 00:50:21,719 Speaker 1: time of the week where we huddle up with one 899 00:50:21,800 --> 00:50:25,359 Speaker 1: Kyle Brand from Good Morning Football and Kyle, if there's 900 00:50:25,400 --> 00:50:30,960 Speaker 1: an image that could properly illustrate my hopeful call that 901 00:50:31,080 --> 00:50:33,919 Speaker 1: Josh Allen would truck Josh Allen in last week's game, 902 00:50:33,960 --> 00:50:36,320 Speaker 1: it would probably be Charlie Brown trying to kick a 903 00:50:36,360 --> 00:50:39,440 Speaker 1: football with Lucy Van Pelt holding. I don't know if 904 00:50:39,480 --> 00:50:42,960 Speaker 1: I could have whipped anymore, and the other Josh Allen 905 00:50:43,040 --> 00:50:47,440 Speaker 1: pulled off the trifecta a sec, a fumble recovery and 906 00:50:47,680 --> 00:50:53,560 Speaker 1: an interception, UG double UG, triple UG? Is there anything 907 00:50:53,600 --> 00:50:55,759 Speaker 1: any of us are more sick of talking about them? 908 00:50:55,760 --> 00:50:58,440 Speaker 1: Though there's two players named Josh Allen on the same team, 909 00:50:58,440 --> 00:51:00,800 Speaker 1: are in the same league. I I'm so over that, 910 00:51:01,000 --> 00:51:04,400 Speaker 1: I'm so disgusted by that at this point, congratulations to Jacksonville. 911 00:51:04,440 --> 00:51:07,160 Speaker 1: You want it. I would rather talk for three hours 912 00:51:07,160 --> 00:51:10,160 Speaker 1: about Odell Beckham Junior then talk about two players named 913 00:51:10,200 --> 00:51:13,839 Speaker 1: Josh Allen, especially since it was like a first round 914 00:51:13,960 --> 00:51:16,560 Speaker 1: knockoff between the two of them. Brownie, I don't know 915 00:51:16,600 --> 00:51:18,799 Speaker 1: if you bear responsibility for that, but like you put 916 00:51:18,800 --> 00:51:22,400 Speaker 1: out some really weird energy basically calling your shot that 917 00:51:22,400 --> 00:51:24,719 Speaker 1: we were going to devote an entire segment, if not 918 00:51:24,760 --> 00:51:27,560 Speaker 1: an entire week, to all the crazy things that that 919 00:51:27,760 --> 00:51:29,719 Speaker 1: Josh Allen on your team was going to do to 920 00:51:29,800 --> 00:51:31,879 Speaker 1: Josh down the other team. And it was like some 921 00:51:31,880 --> 00:51:34,799 Speaker 1: sort of sacred burial ground you trampled upon. This was 922 00:51:34,800 --> 00:51:38,879 Speaker 1: the disaster. Yeah, yeah, we absolutely put the hecks on 923 00:51:39,000 --> 00:51:43,480 Speaker 1: everything Buffalo Bills last week. But be that as it may, 924 00:51:43,920 --> 00:51:47,040 Speaker 1: the the entire conference kind of went through that, this 925 00:51:47,160 --> 00:51:52,120 Speaker 1: is all the underdogs win. You've got backup quarterbacks playing 926 00:51:52,320 --> 00:51:54,319 Speaker 1: playing and playing well. You've got a team like the 927 00:51:54,400 --> 00:52:01,279 Speaker 1: Cowboys getting embarrassed. Four division leaders lost to undred teams. 928 00:52:01,120 --> 00:52:04,440 Speaker 1: It's an amazing Now there are there are eleven teams 929 00:52:04,440 --> 00:52:08,160 Speaker 1: in the AFC with five wins. It's I mean, it's 930 00:52:08,160 --> 00:52:13,879 Speaker 1: a horse race. It's nuts. It's absolutely nuts. It's at 931 00:52:13,880 --> 00:52:15,920 Speaker 1: that point I would a week ten we're going into 932 00:52:16,040 --> 00:52:18,279 Speaker 1: I think, and it's like the NFC has got some 933 00:52:18,320 --> 00:52:20,640 Speaker 1: cream of the crop teams. Fine, I don't know who 934 00:52:20,719 --> 00:52:23,040 Speaker 1: to pick in the FC, And this is what I'm 935 00:52:23,040 --> 00:52:26,080 Speaker 1: going to it. When all is lost and everything is 936 00:52:26,120 --> 00:52:30,480 Speaker 1: in disarray, I go to the teams that have a veteran, 937 00:52:30,600 --> 00:52:34,279 Speaker 1: proven head coach and a defense. So here's my rundown, guys. 938 00:52:34,440 --> 00:52:36,120 Speaker 1: If I got to throw in with the team right now, 939 00:52:36,120 --> 00:52:37,600 Speaker 1: I think it's gonna make some noise over the next 940 00:52:37,640 --> 00:52:40,640 Speaker 1: couple of months by virtue of the defense and veteran, 941 00:52:40,719 --> 00:52:44,279 Speaker 1: proven head coach. Thing. I am throwing out Cleveland, I'm 942 00:52:44,320 --> 00:52:48,000 Speaker 1: throwing out Cincinnati, I'm throwing out the Raiders. I'm throwing 943 00:52:48,000 --> 00:52:53,520 Speaker 1: out the Chargers. That leaves us with the Titans. They 944 00:52:53,560 --> 00:52:58,719 Speaker 1: look great. Baltimore with Harbaugh, New England, Hello, what the 945 00:52:58,760 --> 00:53:02,640 Speaker 1: hell is going on with Plichick in their defense? Definitely Pittsburgh, 946 00:53:02,680 --> 00:53:06,880 Speaker 1: who hasn't lost in five weeks. And I think Buffalo, 947 00:53:07,600 --> 00:53:10,920 Speaker 1: like I think Buffalo should they be in that group 948 00:53:11,000 --> 00:53:14,480 Speaker 1: because I think I trust coach McDermott. I love them, 949 00:53:14,840 --> 00:53:16,840 Speaker 1: I love a lot of players in this defense. But like, 950 00:53:17,280 --> 00:53:20,000 Speaker 1: how am I supposed to possibly say, yeah, I'm gonna 951 00:53:20,000 --> 00:53:22,359 Speaker 1: triple down on the Bills who just lost nine to 952 00:53:22,400 --> 00:53:25,360 Speaker 1: six to Jacksonville and gave up three hundred yards rushing 953 00:53:25,400 --> 00:53:28,080 Speaker 1: and per carry for Derrick Henry. It's rough. Yeah, and 954 00:53:28,760 --> 00:53:31,279 Speaker 1: had a conversation like this kind a relationship of three 955 00:53:31,360 --> 00:53:33,680 Speaker 1: years we have never had. Oh my god, what are 956 00:53:33,680 --> 00:53:37,200 Speaker 1: we gonna do? A conversation, Yeah, Kyle, one conversation that 957 00:53:37,239 --> 00:53:40,440 Speaker 1: we had that we did have already this season on 958 00:53:40,480 --> 00:53:44,200 Speaker 1: the heels of the Tennessee loss, and you brought it up, 959 00:53:44,560 --> 00:53:46,719 Speaker 1: and I think it's legitimate and I think there's enough 960 00:53:46,760 --> 00:53:52,080 Speaker 1: evidence to support it. Now. When they face physical teams 961 00:53:52,200 --> 00:53:56,560 Speaker 1: at the line of scrimmage, they have a problem. Week one, Pittsburgh, 962 00:53:56,920 --> 00:54:01,799 Speaker 1: Week six, Tennessee and Jacksonville decided to play physical this week. 963 00:54:01,840 --> 00:54:04,399 Speaker 1: I've never seen them play that way any other week 964 00:54:04,440 --> 00:54:06,600 Speaker 1: this season. They sleepwalk through Week eight. I don't know 965 00:54:06,640 --> 00:54:08,560 Speaker 1: what the hell team showed up in Week nine. It 966 00:54:08,680 --> 00:54:13,359 Speaker 1: shocked everybody. But when they play a physical front, they 967 00:54:13,400 --> 00:54:15,640 Speaker 1: have problems on both sides of the ball. And that's 968 00:54:15,680 --> 00:54:17,680 Speaker 1: why I think when you pointed out just a couple 969 00:54:17,680 --> 00:54:21,279 Speaker 1: of weeks ago that indie game on the Horizon that 970 00:54:21,320 --> 00:54:26,720 Speaker 1: could be a problem for Buffalo's defense. Listen, nothing's guaranteed 971 00:54:26,719 --> 00:54:28,759 Speaker 1: at this point. I can't guarantee they're gonna beat the 972 00:54:28,800 --> 00:54:30,520 Speaker 1: Jets next week. The Jets have a couple of quality 973 00:54:30,520 --> 00:54:33,600 Speaker 1: wins on their roster, and the Bills, I don't think so. 974 00:54:34,000 --> 00:54:36,919 Speaker 1: The Bills beat the Chiefs, who aren't good. They beat 975 00:54:36,920 --> 00:54:38,680 Speaker 1: the Dolphins a couple of times, like they don't have 976 00:54:38,680 --> 00:54:41,880 Speaker 1: a real quality win either. So I don't want to 977 00:54:41,880 --> 00:54:44,160 Speaker 1: be wildly negative. But as we get away from the 978 00:54:44,239 --> 00:54:47,960 Speaker 1: Jacksonville thing, what's the smoking gun? Like in other what 979 00:54:48,120 --> 00:54:51,000 Speaker 1: the hell happened? If you want to say Josh was 980 00:54:51,040 --> 00:54:53,400 Speaker 1: a little nuts and made some bad plays, sure, if 981 00:54:53,440 --> 00:54:56,799 Speaker 1: you want to me the culprit and the boogeyman of 982 00:54:56,840 --> 00:55:00,000 Speaker 1: this whole time, this whole Josh Allen, Sean McDermott, air, 983 00:55:00,040 --> 00:55:02,440 Speaker 1: and we've talked about this for years. I don't know 984 00:55:02,480 --> 00:55:04,279 Speaker 1: if they have a running game. I just don't know, 985 00:55:04,560 --> 00:55:07,160 Speaker 1: and starting to think that they don't because in a 986 00:55:07,520 --> 00:55:11,160 Speaker 1: nine two six ball game, they ran the ball nine 987 00:55:11,200 --> 00:55:14,439 Speaker 1: times with running backs. Nine that's it. In a game 988 00:55:14,480 --> 00:55:17,640 Speaker 1: you're like, for goodness sake, run and Moss leads the game. Fine, 989 00:55:17,880 --> 00:55:20,600 Speaker 1: there's nothing else there nine carries in a nine to 990 00:55:20,680 --> 00:55:23,560 Speaker 1: six game is almost unheard of, especially for a team 991 00:55:23,560 --> 00:55:25,759 Speaker 1: that's that closed. It leads me with a lot of 992 00:55:25,760 --> 00:55:28,359 Speaker 1: worries that what you're talking about, Brownie. So all right, 993 00:55:28,360 --> 00:55:30,520 Speaker 1: they get to the playoffs, great, they get Baltimore in 994 00:55:30,560 --> 00:55:32,440 Speaker 1: the first round, or they get one of these teams 995 00:55:32,440 --> 00:55:34,600 Speaker 1: that just I don't know, it's not impressed, doesn't give 996 00:55:34,600 --> 00:55:37,080 Speaker 1: a damn and looks to play football. We've always been 997 00:55:37,080 --> 00:55:39,239 Speaker 1: a little concerned that that might be an issue, but 998 00:55:39,400 --> 00:55:41,239 Speaker 1: you sweep it under the rug because Alan is so 999 00:55:41,280 --> 00:55:43,640 Speaker 1: good and the defense is so good. Now last week 1000 00:55:43,880 --> 00:55:45,719 Speaker 1: it's it's the boogeyman. Yeah, one of the things that 1001 00:55:45,800 --> 00:55:47,840 Speaker 1: hit him last week, and it became obvious, particularly a 1002 00:55:47,960 --> 00:55:50,880 Speaker 1: team like Jacksonville that has not shown this, you know 1003 00:55:50,960 --> 00:55:53,880 Speaker 1: that that form of pressure, being able to get pressure 1004 00:55:53,880 --> 00:55:57,000 Speaker 1: on the quarterback. Bill's had two offensive two starting offensive 1005 00:55:57,040 --> 00:55:59,600 Speaker 1: linemen out. They shuffled, which made him shuffle three guys. 1006 00:55:59,600 --> 00:56:02,880 Speaker 1: It's the third different offensive line combination I had in 1007 00:56:02,920 --> 00:56:06,960 Speaker 1: the last three maybe four weeks, and they just didn't 1008 00:56:07,000 --> 00:56:10,560 Speaker 1: look competitive upfront. Maybe that led to the fact they 1009 00:56:10,560 --> 00:56:12,239 Speaker 1: didn't want to run the football, because when they did 1010 00:56:12,360 --> 00:56:16,160 Speaker 1: run it, they got stuffed and they couldn't handle the 1011 00:56:16,280 --> 00:56:21,399 Speaker 1: rush of the Jaguars on Sunday, and Josh was trying 1012 00:56:21,440 --> 00:56:23,160 Speaker 1: to do too much, and a couple of the decisions 1013 00:56:23,200 --> 00:56:26,480 Speaker 1: he made were obvious I'm gonna do this my self decisions. 1014 00:56:26,960 --> 00:56:31,719 Speaker 1: And that really is the weakness of the Bills. My 1015 00:56:31,840 --> 00:56:37,120 Speaker 1: question is this, can any team can't? Can't any team 1016 00:56:37,200 --> 00:56:42,880 Speaker 1: on their schedule left do the exact same thing to them? 1017 00:56:41,280 --> 00:56:46,319 Speaker 1: M Yeah, if Jacksonville can do it. If Jacksonville can 1018 00:56:46,360 --> 00:56:51,279 Speaker 1: do it, can anybody? Yeah? If you watch, if you 1019 00:56:51,320 --> 00:56:54,760 Speaker 1: watch that game. And again, let's let's put the Colts aside, 1020 00:56:54,840 --> 00:56:56,680 Speaker 1: put all the big dogs aside. If you're the Jets, 1021 00:56:57,200 --> 00:56:59,960 Speaker 1: I know what we're doing. Like, We're going right at him, 1022 00:57:00,040 --> 00:57:01,640 Speaker 1: none of this pretty stuff. I don't care who our 1023 00:57:01,719 --> 00:57:03,360 Speaker 1: quarterback is. We're gonna run the hell out of it. 1024 00:57:03,360 --> 00:57:05,719 Speaker 1: We're gonna we're gonna make them run the ball. Like. 1025 00:57:06,560 --> 00:57:08,759 Speaker 1: I don't like using the term blueprint because I think 1026 00:57:08,760 --> 00:57:12,200 Speaker 1: it's just a cliche. But certainly there's blood in the water. 1027 00:57:12,360 --> 00:57:15,320 Speaker 1: And it's not just the Jacksonville Jaguars, it's other teams. 1028 00:57:15,320 --> 00:57:19,160 Speaker 1: It's the Titans for sure. And look, there's this this 1029 00:57:19,160 --> 00:57:22,160 Speaker 1: this panic button thing going on I've seen some people 1030 00:57:22,160 --> 00:57:26,120 Speaker 1: in that media members on social media saying Josh Allen regression, 1031 00:57:26,240 --> 00:57:28,960 Speaker 1: Josh Allen not having the same I'm not on that boat, Like, 1032 00:57:29,240 --> 00:57:31,000 Speaker 1: I don't think you just show up every year and 1033 00:57:31,080 --> 00:57:35,560 Speaker 1: you're absolutely incredible statistically and stylistically. A quarterback. He's a 1034 00:57:35,600 --> 00:57:38,360 Speaker 1: great player who's gonna have some amazing years and some 1035 00:57:38,440 --> 00:57:41,120 Speaker 1: good years. He's I don't think there's a real problem 1036 00:57:41,160 --> 00:57:44,080 Speaker 1: with him. I just think that was a full confluence 1037 00:57:44,080 --> 00:57:46,480 Speaker 1: of everything that's wrong with this team. Can't not be 1038 00:57:46,520 --> 00:57:49,520 Speaker 1: able to run the ball. And then again, like Steve, 1039 00:57:49,560 --> 00:57:51,440 Speaker 1: you just use the SoundBite we haven't used in a 1040 00:57:51,440 --> 00:57:54,080 Speaker 1: long time about Josh Allen, and that's trying to do 1041 00:57:54,200 --> 00:57:57,680 Speaker 1: too much. Like that's old second year Josh Sallen, that's 1042 00:57:57,760 --> 00:58:01,560 Speaker 1: rookie Josh Allen. We've not seen that interception where I'm 1043 00:58:01,600 --> 00:58:03,440 Speaker 1: just gonna have run through twelve guys and throw it 1044 00:58:03,480 --> 00:58:06,080 Speaker 1: to anybody I want, like and I get it. There 1045 00:58:06,200 --> 00:58:07,760 Speaker 1: nothing else that was working as he was trying to 1046 00:58:07,760 --> 00:58:10,200 Speaker 1: put the team on his back. But damn, it's it's 1047 00:58:10,440 --> 00:58:12,600 Speaker 1: it's I'm watching these clips now again on the show. 1048 00:58:12,720 --> 00:58:14,960 Speaker 1: It's stressing me out all over again. I can't believe 1049 00:58:15,040 --> 00:58:16,760 Speaker 1: they lost this game. They were in the red zone 1050 00:58:16,800 --> 00:58:19,440 Speaker 1: one time. One time, it was in their first possession. 1051 00:58:19,640 --> 00:58:23,120 Speaker 1: The offense was terrible. Yeah, it was not good to 1052 00:58:23,200 --> 00:58:26,880 Speaker 1: calm everybody that wants to even suggest regression. For Josh Allen, 1053 00:58:26,960 --> 00:58:29,400 Speaker 1: his numbers through eight games this year are virtually identical 1054 00:58:29,440 --> 00:58:32,000 Speaker 1: to that of last year's. So take that. Take that 1055 00:58:32,080 --> 00:58:34,840 Speaker 1: for what it's worth. But your point about the run 1056 00:58:34,880 --> 00:58:38,880 Speaker 1: game is well taken, and I think the issue here 1057 00:58:39,680 --> 00:58:43,000 Speaker 1: is more upfront. The thing was last year the run 1058 00:58:43,040 --> 00:58:45,120 Speaker 1: game wasn't that great either, Kyle, and they just said, well, 1059 00:58:45,160 --> 00:58:46,680 Speaker 1: the hell with it, We're just gonna throw the ball. 1060 00:58:46,920 --> 00:58:48,960 Speaker 1: I don't know if they can go back to that either. 1061 00:58:50,400 --> 00:58:54,160 Speaker 1: It's gonna be very interesting to see what page Brian 1062 00:58:54,240 --> 00:58:57,760 Speaker 1: Dable turns to. Knowing that the run game is at 1063 00:58:57,800 --> 00:59:00,800 Speaker 1: a point where I don't know if it's fixable to 1064 00:59:00,920 --> 00:59:05,840 Speaker 1: become a potent part of their offense going forward. Well, 1065 00:59:05,880 --> 00:59:09,280 Speaker 1: I'm hearing what Steve is saying about shuffling Lineman, and look, 1066 00:59:09,920 --> 00:59:12,439 Speaker 1: due respect to Moss and Motor, and I like those guys. 1067 00:59:12,680 --> 00:59:15,280 Speaker 1: Maybe they're not the guy long term. I don't know, 1068 00:59:15,600 --> 00:59:18,800 Speaker 1: but I know this, I see Baltimore out there and 1069 00:59:18,840 --> 00:59:21,479 Speaker 1: they've got the twenty fifteen All Stars at running back 1070 00:59:21,520 --> 00:59:23,480 Speaker 1: and they seem to be doing their thing. They got 1071 00:59:23,560 --> 00:59:27,520 Speaker 1: Damante Freeman running for touchdowns, Levan Bell running for touchdowns, 1072 00:59:27,560 --> 00:59:29,520 Speaker 1: and I get it. Baltimore and maybe a different beast, 1073 00:59:29,560 --> 00:59:32,320 Speaker 1: but like I just I can't abide by in the 1074 00:59:32,440 --> 00:59:35,640 Speaker 1: twenty twenty one for the Buffalo Bills, well, we got 1075 00:59:35,720 --> 00:59:38,600 Speaker 1: some guys banged up, and like there is no excuses. 1076 00:59:38,640 --> 00:59:41,800 Speaker 1: Now everybody's dealing with that stuff. This is your year, 1077 00:59:41,920 --> 00:59:44,520 Speaker 1: your division. And now I gotta go to Good Morning 1078 00:59:44,520 --> 00:59:48,560 Speaker 1: Football and have Schraeger bring questions to the table about 1079 00:59:48,960 --> 00:59:50,920 Speaker 1: are you in or out right now on the New 1080 00:59:50,960 --> 00:59:53,960 Speaker 1: England Patriots winning the AFC East. And we're not the 1081 00:59:54,000 --> 00:59:56,520 Speaker 1: only show that's asking it. Oh yeah, yeah, We've already 1082 00:59:56,520 --> 00:59:58,800 Speaker 1: had calls about it as well, and you know Keyshawn 1083 00:59:58,880 --> 01:00:01,040 Speaker 1: Johnson saying it as well. All I mean, and let's 1084 01:00:01,040 --> 01:00:03,680 Speaker 1: face it, we have seen it happened so many times 1085 01:00:03,680 --> 01:00:06,840 Speaker 1: where the Patriots get better, better, better, better better, and 1086 01:00:06,880 --> 01:00:08,320 Speaker 1: by the end of the season, you know they're ready 1087 01:00:08,320 --> 01:00:10,440 Speaker 1: for a championship around We've seen it was six times, 1088 01:00:10,760 --> 01:00:14,480 Speaker 1: so it's it's still in the back of you know, 1089 01:00:14,520 --> 01:00:18,160 Speaker 1: it still hangs around the back of Bills fans minds 1090 01:00:18,160 --> 01:00:20,000 Speaker 1: that they got to deal with those guys twice in 1091 01:00:20,040 --> 01:00:22,080 Speaker 1: the second half of the season, and they get their 1092 01:00:22,160 --> 01:00:24,680 Speaker 1: they get their panties in the knot because they got 1093 01:00:24,680 --> 01:00:28,120 Speaker 1: to go into New England and play those guys. And 1094 01:00:28,200 --> 01:00:31,560 Speaker 1: for all with all that, Brady or not, um, mac 1095 01:00:31,640 --> 01:00:35,640 Speaker 1: Jones he's the guy. I mean, he's They're gonna they're 1096 01:00:35,680 --> 01:00:38,439 Speaker 1: gonna roll with him. Your Bills fans expect to see 1097 01:00:38,440 --> 01:00:40,720 Speaker 1: mac Jones for twenty years. I mean that's just the 1098 01:00:40,720 --> 01:00:44,040 Speaker 1: way it works up there. So yeah, that in or 1099 01:00:44,080 --> 01:00:47,640 Speaker 1: out on the Patriots, I know this, that's a game 1100 01:00:48,480 --> 01:00:52,600 Speaker 1: we are not gonna take lightly on this show. Well 1101 01:00:53,160 --> 01:00:55,440 Speaker 1: as you say it, though, Steve, like I'm getting I'm 1102 01:00:55,480 --> 01:00:58,520 Speaker 1: getting indignant and pissed off about it. Like you can't 1103 01:00:58,560 --> 01:01:01,520 Speaker 1: just say, well, we got they got their guy. You know, 1104 01:01:01,600 --> 01:01:04,120 Speaker 1: they're the Bills fans. They just buckle up because it's 1105 01:01:04,120 --> 01:01:05,880 Speaker 1: gonna be twenty years of mac Joe's. No. No, this 1106 01:01:05,960 --> 01:01:10,000 Speaker 1: is a rookie quarterback that they should absolutely destroy when 1107 01:01:10,040 --> 01:01:12,160 Speaker 1: they play him. They should. This is I mean, I 1108 01:01:12,280 --> 01:01:14,400 Speaker 1: know that they just lost to Trevor Lawrence, which blew 1109 01:01:14,480 --> 01:01:17,160 Speaker 1: my mind in one way or another. But I can't 1110 01:01:17,160 --> 01:01:19,680 Speaker 1: just stand here and say, you know, everybody's having a 1111 01:01:19,680 --> 01:01:22,320 Speaker 1: lot of fun about here come the Patriots and the 1112 01:01:22,360 --> 01:01:25,560 Speaker 1: Evil Empires back and queue the Star Wars Imperial March 1113 01:01:25,680 --> 01:01:28,400 Speaker 1: like it's nonsense. The bills of the team, they took 1114 01:01:28,440 --> 01:01:30,760 Speaker 1: care of them. They have a better players, they better players, 1115 01:01:30,760 --> 01:01:33,320 Speaker 1: they have a better roster. If they blow it to 1116 01:01:33,440 --> 01:01:36,920 Speaker 1: these guys in a rookie a bleep in rookie quarterback, 1117 01:01:37,080 --> 01:01:38,960 Speaker 1: then I don't even know where we're at right now. 1118 01:01:39,360 --> 01:01:41,040 Speaker 1: I don't think that they will. I'm gonna spit my 1119 01:01:41,040 --> 01:01:42,479 Speaker 1: f in the guy. I don't think it's gonna happen. 1120 01:01:42,480 --> 01:01:45,440 Speaker 1: I still believe in them. I'm not panicking either. One 1121 01:01:45,520 --> 01:01:49,360 Speaker 1: interesting development though, Kyle on the AFC landscape. Aside from 1122 01:01:49,400 --> 01:01:51,320 Speaker 1: the Chiefs who are always going to dominate the headlines 1123 01:01:51,320 --> 01:01:55,960 Speaker 1: with their struggles, Baltimore is winning, but they're having to 1124 01:01:56,000 --> 01:01:58,959 Speaker 1: do it in comeback fashion because their defense can't hold 1125 01:01:59,000 --> 01:02:02,720 Speaker 1: people off the score board. To me, that's a gigantic story. 1126 01:02:02,720 --> 01:02:07,040 Speaker 1: The Baltimore defense, which has been rock solid for decades, 1127 01:02:07,880 --> 01:02:11,440 Speaker 1: suddenly can't stop people from scoring. In Lamar Jackson has 1128 01:02:11,480 --> 01:02:13,880 Speaker 1: to come out there and pull off a three ring 1129 01:02:13,960 --> 01:02:17,080 Speaker 1: circus to win football games. What's going on there? I 1130 01:02:17,120 --> 01:02:19,240 Speaker 1: know it's wild because I think Baltimore is a team 1131 01:02:19,280 --> 01:02:21,000 Speaker 1: that comes up a lot. If you're just to chat 1132 01:02:21,080 --> 01:02:23,360 Speaker 1: up one of your friends and say, all right, AFC 1133 01:02:23,480 --> 01:02:25,840 Speaker 1: is pretty nuts right now, who do you think is 1134 01:02:25,880 --> 01:02:28,360 Speaker 1: the best team? A few people I've talked to you 1135 01:02:28,520 --> 01:02:31,680 Speaker 1: just theay are like, oh, well, the Ravens. The Ravens 1136 01:02:31,720 --> 01:02:34,680 Speaker 1: got destroyed by Cincinnati. I mean they looked like they 1137 01:02:34,720 --> 01:02:35,840 Speaker 1: did not want to be on the field at the 1138 01:02:35,920 --> 01:02:37,280 Speaker 1: end of that game. And that was not way back 1139 01:02:37,320 --> 01:02:39,840 Speaker 1: in Week two, just a few weeks ago. And I 1140 01:02:39,880 --> 01:02:42,240 Speaker 1: think that's why the FC is incredible. Right now, who's 1141 01:02:42,880 --> 01:02:45,160 Speaker 1: throw in with somebody, this team is going to win 1142 01:02:45,200 --> 01:02:46,800 Speaker 1: the FC. Let's take Buffalo out of it for the 1143 01:02:46,840 --> 01:02:48,680 Speaker 1: sake of this. They're gonna win the a FC. Here's 1144 01:02:48,680 --> 01:02:50,760 Speaker 1: how weird it is. The team that is playing the 1145 01:02:50,800 --> 01:02:53,440 Speaker 1: best and there's the hottest and has the best resume 1146 01:02:53,960 --> 01:02:57,120 Speaker 1: is the Titans without Derrick Henry. Like, that's the best 1147 01:02:57,160 --> 01:03:00,320 Speaker 1: team who just beat the Rams on Sunday night ball. 1148 01:03:00,560 --> 01:03:03,400 Speaker 1: That's the mind blowing thing. A team starting Adrian Peterson 1149 01:03:03,440 --> 01:03:06,080 Speaker 1: at running back, I think seems like the front runner 1150 01:03:06,160 --> 01:03:08,720 Speaker 1: right now. So anywhere you go, any team you want 1151 01:03:08,720 --> 01:03:12,680 Speaker 1: to bring up Ravens, Brownie, Bills, of course, Chiefs. All 1152 01:03:12,720 --> 01:03:15,960 Speaker 1: around the AFC, there's always a huge slate. There's always 1153 01:03:15,960 --> 01:03:17,720 Speaker 1: a yeah, but they can't do this, They can't do this. 1154 01:03:17,880 --> 01:03:20,280 Speaker 1: I don't see that in the NFC. The NFC is 1155 01:03:20,400 --> 01:03:22,560 Speaker 1: Tampa's gonna be there, Green Bay is gonna be there. 1156 01:03:22,600 --> 01:03:24,640 Speaker 1: Who a few other teams, the Rams and the Cardinals 1157 01:03:24,640 --> 01:03:27,120 Speaker 1: look really good. They have seed I don't know. And 1158 01:03:27,560 --> 01:03:29,360 Speaker 1: every team that you can come up with as a contender, 1159 01:03:29,400 --> 01:03:32,360 Speaker 1: I can say, yeah, but how about this? Yea? Even 1160 01:03:32,360 --> 01:03:34,720 Speaker 1: the Titans. The win over the Rams was nice. They 1161 01:03:34,720 --> 01:03:37,360 Speaker 1: did it with one hundred ninety four yards a total offense. 1162 01:03:37,440 --> 01:03:40,840 Speaker 1: Like is that a winning formula every week? I don't know. Now. 1163 01:03:40,960 --> 01:03:42,880 Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford came out and said, look, I spotted them 1164 01:03:42,920 --> 01:03:44,840 Speaker 1: fourteen points. That's not me. I can't do that. It 1165 01:03:44,880 --> 01:03:47,080 Speaker 1: was a really weird game. You're right, they didn't light 1166 01:03:47,120 --> 01:03:49,600 Speaker 1: it up. They didn't run, they didn't pass. But I 1167 01:03:49,640 --> 01:03:52,680 Speaker 1: don't if they play d again, if it pertains to 1168 01:03:52,720 --> 01:03:55,360 Speaker 1: the Bills, do you want to play the tape like 1169 01:03:55,360 --> 01:03:58,760 Speaker 1: you could pick Let's just say, Heaven forbid the Bills 1170 01:03:58,840 --> 01:04:00,720 Speaker 1: have to play a wild card game, which at this 1171 01:04:00,760 --> 01:04:03,600 Speaker 1: point is starting to look pretty likely. Pick your opponent. 1172 01:04:03,760 --> 01:04:06,400 Speaker 1: Who do you think is the easiest team? I don't know, 1173 01:04:06,520 --> 01:04:08,080 Speaker 1: Or you want to pick the Raiders, I don't know 1174 01:04:08,080 --> 01:04:10,760 Speaker 1: if they'll be there, Cincinnati. I would be fascinated here. 1175 01:04:10,800 --> 01:04:13,320 Speaker 1: Who Bills plays? Like? Bring those on? Who Bills? Fans say, 1176 01:04:13,360 --> 01:04:15,160 Speaker 1: because it ain't the Titans, we know that. I don't 1177 01:04:15,160 --> 01:04:16,600 Speaker 1: care if that Henry is not out there, I don't 1178 01:04:16,600 --> 01:04:18,400 Speaker 1: want to play that team. Yeah, I agree with you. 1179 01:04:18,440 --> 01:04:20,160 Speaker 1: And if you look down the list, We've talked about 1180 01:04:20,200 --> 01:04:22,240 Speaker 1: this for a couple of days, Eleven teams in the 1181 01:04:22,280 --> 01:04:25,800 Speaker 1: conference have five wins, and only two teams have more, 1182 01:04:26,040 --> 01:04:29,000 Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans and the Baltimore has six. Everybody else 1183 01:04:29,080 --> 01:04:31,280 Speaker 1: got five. Then it goes in and I'll tell you what. 1184 01:04:31,560 --> 01:04:36,440 Speaker 1: Indianapolis is gonna win some games. I know it. You're 1185 01:04:36,760 --> 01:04:38,800 Speaker 1: this is you talk about a week to week league. 1186 01:04:39,280 --> 01:04:41,720 Speaker 1: It has been an absolute ruler. Coach. You realize two 1187 01:04:41,760 --> 01:04:45,600 Speaker 1: weeks ago, the Cincinnati Bengals were the one seed. Now 1188 01:04:46,880 --> 01:04:50,320 Speaker 1: they're the ten seed. They're the ten seed. They were 1189 01:04:50,320 --> 01:04:58,280 Speaker 1: the one seed two weeks ago, now they're ten. Yeah, 1190 01:04:58,280 --> 01:05:00,919 Speaker 1: it's and and by the way, we're gonna be having 1191 01:05:00,920 --> 01:05:03,480 Speaker 1: a conversation with Steve. We're gonna be saying a month 1192 01:05:03,560 --> 01:05:05,000 Speaker 1: or now, we're gonna be talking. You're gonna be like 1193 01:05:05,400 --> 01:05:08,120 Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans were the one seed a month ago, 1194 01:05:08,200 --> 01:05:10,920 Speaker 1: Like it's gonna happen again. We're gonna have this exact 1195 01:05:10,960 --> 01:05:15,360 Speaker 1: conversation like right around Christmas time even Thanksgiving it this right, yeah, exactly, 1196 01:05:15,360 --> 01:05:18,360 Speaker 1: all right, So Kyle, let's let's talk about some other stuff. 1197 01:05:18,440 --> 01:05:21,760 Speaker 1: Let's spin the wheel and tell me where ob J 1198 01:05:22,080 --> 01:05:24,840 Speaker 1: is going to end up, especially in the wake of 1199 01:05:24,920 --> 01:05:28,960 Speaker 1: Pete Carroll's super cryptic comments. I'm not saying it will happen, 1200 01:05:29,240 --> 01:05:31,480 Speaker 1: not saying it won't happen. You'll have to wait and 1201 01:05:31,520 --> 01:05:35,560 Speaker 1: see what the hell was that. I don't know. I 1202 01:05:35,600 --> 01:05:39,440 Speaker 1: do respect Brownie, to yourself, the show, to Steve, the question, 1203 01:05:39,520 --> 01:05:44,000 Speaker 1: the topic I am really struggling to care about Odell Beckham. 1204 01:05:44,080 --> 01:05:46,000 Speaker 1: And that's just my cards on the table answer. I 1205 01:05:46,760 --> 01:05:52,880 Speaker 1: don't let me tell you why. All right, this this 1206 01:05:52,960 --> 01:05:56,960 Speaker 1: person's um landscape in the media on your show, on 1207 01:05:57,000 --> 01:06:01,400 Speaker 1: our show, is based almost entirely on accomplishments from three, 1208 01:06:01,520 --> 01:06:06,400 Speaker 1: four or five years ago. He is very famous, very famous, 1209 01:06:06,760 --> 01:06:09,560 Speaker 1: but his fame is twenty times his game. I would 1210 01:06:09,600 --> 01:06:12,360 Speaker 1: defy you right now to make a list of the 1211 01:06:12,440 --> 01:06:17,960 Speaker 1: best active, healthy receivers in the NFL. Where is he? 1212 01:06:18,160 --> 01:06:19,560 Speaker 1: Is he in the top twenty? Is he in the 1213 01:06:19,600 --> 01:06:22,840 Speaker 1: top forty? And I would make another list, guys, you 1214 01:06:22,880 --> 01:06:24,720 Speaker 1: want on your team right now? Is he in the 1215 01:06:24,720 --> 01:06:27,440 Speaker 1: top sixty? There's a lot of good players out there. 1216 01:06:27,640 --> 01:06:30,200 Speaker 1: And I know Adella is very famous, and he had 1217 01:06:30,240 --> 01:06:32,320 Speaker 1: made a really cool catch and had really cool hair 1218 01:06:32,480 --> 01:06:36,000 Speaker 1: and did all that stuff. I just don't even care. Really, 1219 01:06:36,080 --> 01:06:39,880 Speaker 1: I don't think he's a difference making player. It feels 1220 01:06:39,960 --> 01:06:43,520 Speaker 1: like a pop star who hasn't had a hit in years. 1221 01:06:43,720 --> 01:06:46,560 Speaker 1: And I'm just like, I'm sorry, guys, and I love 1222 01:06:46,560 --> 01:06:48,240 Speaker 1: you and I love the show. I just like it's 1223 01:06:48,640 --> 01:06:52,120 Speaker 1: I can't even get there, chiefs. Maybe I think I 1224 01:06:52,160 --> 01:06:55,080 Speaker 1: think more interesting is a question of does he clear 1225 01:06:55,160 --> 01:06:57,600 Speaker 1: waivers and become a free agent. Is there a team 1226 01:06:57,640 --> 01:07:01,120 Speaker 1: out there that will say, yeah, seven point two five, 1227 01:07:02,160 --> 01:07:05,160 Speaker 1: get him? I don't know. I think it says a lot. 1228 01:07:05,240 --> 01:07:06,920 Speaker 1: It may be a slap in the face to him 1229 01:07:06,960 --> 01:07:09,160 Speaker 1: if he if nobody puts a claim in on him, 1230 01:07:09,160 --> 01:07:11,320 Speaker 1: which I don't know. If you do, I don't know. 1231 01:07:11,480 --> 01:07:14,240 Speaker 1: First of all, cap space. Second of all, that's a 1232 01:07:14,400 --> 01:07:17,520 Speaker 1: it's not top with a capital D. It's yeah, it's 1233 01:07:17,560 --> 01:07:19,640 Speaker 1: not top in money for a wide receiver, but it's 1234 01:07:19,800 --> 01:07:22,880 Speaker 1: that's a chunk right for all of us. Oh yeah, 1235 01:07:22,920 --> 01:07:26,720 Speaker 1: I mean I can't imagine sitting there just waiting and 1236 01:07:26,760 --> 01:07:29,360 Speaker 1: the you know, the nineteenth team decides to claim you. 1237 01:07:29,400 --> 01:07:32,080 Speaker 1: I personally like, just for the hell of it, I 1238 01:07:32,120 --> 01:07:34,760 Speaker 1: wanted Detroit to claim him. Screw it. We're thirty two, 1239 01:07:35,000 --> 01:07:38,680 Speaker 1: we have no wide receivers, no buzz, we sell no jerseys, 1240 01:07:38,840 --> 01:07:41,400 Speaker 1: We're owing whatever the hell we are. Why wouldn't they 1241 01:07:41,440 --> 01:07:43,240 Speaker 1: claim him? And Dan Campbell comes out and says it's 1242 01:07:43,240 --> 01:07:45,160 Speaker 1: not in the plan. I don't know because he doesn't 1243 01:07:45,200 --> 01:07:47,439 Speaker 1: fit in the mold. Like what does You're a winless team. 1244 01:07:47,480 --> 01:07:50,160 Speaker 1: I wish Detroit would have. But right now, like, I 1245 01:07:50,200 --> 01:07:52,360 Speaker 1: don't know this front or everybody I see the same 1246 01:07:52,400 --> 01:07:54,600 Speaker 1: team you guys, do. I see people who whisper about 1247 01:07:54,640 --> 01:07:57,920 Speaker 1: Kansas City, Seattle. You mentioned Brownie. Everyone was owning an 1248 01:07:57,920 --> 01:08:00,680 Speaker 1: eye that New England is gonna get him. Um, I 1249 01:08:00,680 --> 01:08:03,960 Speaker 1: don't know who will If I'm Kansas City and I'm 1250 01:08:04,000 --> 01:08:07,600 Speaker 1: gonna it's broken, it's not working. We've tried everything. We've 1251 01:08:07,640 --> 01:08:10,320 Speaker 1: restarted it, we've blown on the Nintendo game, we've put 1252 01:08:10,320 --> 01:08:12,400 Speaker 1: it in a jar of rice. We're trying everything we 1253 01:08:12,440 --> 01:08:15,160 Speaker 1: can to fix the offense. Why not just throw something 1254 01:08:15,480 --> 01:08:17,240 Speaker 1: stick of dynamite in there and see if it works 1255 01:08:17,240 --> 01:08:19,280 Speaker 1: and bring an Odell. Why the hell not? Right, So 1256 01:08:19,400 --> 01:08:21,360 Speaker 1: let's just let's wrap it up by bringing it back 1257 01:08:21,400 --> 01:08:24,720 Speaker 1: to the Bills and Jets, from teams that even last 1258 01:08:24,800 --> 01:08:28,439 Speaker 1: year in Buffalo's juggernaut offense season, played a ten point 1259 01:08:28,439 --> 01:08:30,720 Speaker 1: game and played an eight point game that included six 1260 01:08:30,760 --> 01:08:32,760 Speaker 1: field goals from the Bills to win eighteen to ten 1261 01:08:32,800 --> 01:08:35,720 Speaker 1: in the second meeting. Wow, they've been plucky at home. 1262 01:08:35,880 --> 01:08:39,000 Speaker 1: As you pointed out, I think this is a tight game. 1263 01:08:40,400 --> 01:08:43,879 Speaker 1: I know they're they're they're I think they're the strangest 1264 01:08:43,880 --> 01:08:47,240 Speaker 1: team in the league because some weeks they're like they 1265 01:08:47,360 --> 01:08:50,479 Speaker 1: look semipro, like they look like they're a Division three 1266 01:08:50,479 --> 01:08:53,040 Speaker 1: college team. They just they can't compete another weeks like, 1267 01:08:53,080 --> 01:08:55,719 Speaker 1: oh my god, we just won. We just beat teams, 1268 01:08:55,720 --> 01:08:59,240 Speaker 1: don't matter, we beat Derek Henry titans. Um. I actually 1269 01:08:59,280 --> 01:09:01,360 Speaker 1: do think it's gonna be close to I think the 1270 01:09:01,479 --> 01:09:03,760 Speaker 1: Sala has them ready to beat the Bills, and the 1271 01:09:03,800 --> 01:09:06,240 Speaker 1: Bills are bleeding. But jeez, I mean, if there was 1272 01:09:06,240 --> 01:09:07,840 Speaker 1: ever gonna be a week and we'll see what this 1273 01:09:07,880 --> 01:09:10,600 Speaker 1: team is made of, the Buffalo team and what McDermott's 1274 01:09:10,600 --> 01:09:13,880 Speaker 1: made of, Like this should be a slaughter.

That's 1298 01:10:19,160 --> 01:10:24,559 Speaker 1: Kyle Brand from Good Morning Football. Uh yeah, I'll things 1299 01:10:24,600 --> 01:10:26,439 Speaker 1: would get right in a hurry if it's thirty seven 1300 01:10:26,479 --> 01:10:29,080 Speaker 1: to three, right, and the call has been put out 1301 01:10:29,200 --> 01:10:31,720 Speaker 1: as we mentioned earlier in the show by coach McDermott. 1302 01:10:32,080 --> 01:10:33,960 Speaker 1: I mean he told us what his message to the 1303 01:10:34,000 --> 01:10:37,919 Speaker 1: team was. On Monday, he watched the film. He addressed 1304 01:10:37,920 --> 01:10:40,320 Speaker 1: his team and he said, this is a game that 1305 01:10:40,479 --> 01:10:43,400 Speaker 1: is played in a physical way, and we need to 1306 01:10:43,439 --> 01:10:45,599 Speaker 1: be more physical. And it will be interesting to see 1307 01:10:45,640 --> 01:10:46,960 Speaker 1: because we'll get we'll get a chance to hear a 1308 01:10:47,080 --> 01:10:50,840 Speaker 1: Sean McDermott tomorrow and his weekly media stuff Thursday, and 1309 01:10:51,080 --> 01:10:53,720 Speaker 1: we'll get players throughout the week. It'll be interesting to 1310 01:10:53,920 --> 01:10:57,599 Speaker 1: hear the tone of their comments about what they learned 1311 01:10:57,600 --> 01:11:00,519 Speaker 1: about themselves from the Jacksonville game, because I'm imagine to 1312 01:11:00,600 --> 01:11:03,000 Speaker 1: be reminiscent of the you know, the Hail Murray last 1313 01:11:03,080 --> 01:11:05,840 Speaker 1: year and the Titan game and stuff and um and 1314 01:11:05,920 --> 01:11:07,839 Speaker 1: a little bit of what they went through with Pittsburgh 1315 01:11:07,840 --> 01:11:10,760 Speaker 1: when they came in there. This is uh. I think 1316 01:11:10,800 --> 01:11:15,800 Speaker 1: this is a compared to the Pittsburgh game this year 1317 01:11:15,840 --> 01:11:18,559 Speaker 1: and compared to the Titan game this year, I think 1318 01:11:18,600 --> 01:11:21,200 Speaker 1: this is more down the lines of an egregious loss 1319 01:11:21,280 --> 01:11:24,240 Speaker 1: than those are good team opening day, you never what 1320 01:11:24,240 --> 01:11:26,519 Speaker 1: you're gonna get. Those guys are fresh and ready and 1321 01:11:26,520 --> 01:11:28,439 Speaker 1: and all of that been there before, been there before. 1322 01:11:28,439 --> 01:11:30,160 Speaker 1: They're a veteran coach. They got a great, you know, 1323 01:11:30,320 --> 01:11:32,759 Speaker 1: a Hall of Fame quarterback that's you know, still playing 1324 01:11:33,280 --> 01:11:35,400 Speaker 1: um and he's fresh opening day. You know how that 1325 01:11:35,520 --> 01:11:40,120 Speaker 1: is this team week nine of the regular season, when 1326 01:11:40,160 --> 01:11:42,320 Speaker 1: you had the number one offense and the number one defense, 1327 01:11:43,000 --> 01:11:48,919 Speaker 1: to drop one. You can't look it's on you, rookie quarterback, 1328 01:11:48,960 --> 01:11:52,439 Speaker 1: first year head coach in the pros. There there's no 1329 01:11:52,760 --> 01:11:55,120 Speaker 1: there's no excuses for that. You know, they discuss, they 1330 01:11:55,160 --> 01:11:59,080 Speaker 1: outpland you and they won. And more importantly, there's no 1331 01:11:59,120 --> 01:12:02,360 Speaker 1: cushion left. New England's a half game behind you. They 1332 01:12:02,400 --> 01:12:04,599 Speaker 1: have just as many wins as you do. And the 1333 01:12:04,640 --> 01:12:06,559 Speaker 1: only reason they're behind you is they have four losses 1334 01:12:06,560 --> 01:12:10,400 Speaker 1: and play one more game than you did. You're there's 1335 01:12:10,400 --> 01:12:12,920 Speaker 1: no margin for error anymore. That's right, that's right, and 1336 01:12:13,200 --> 01:12:16,479 Speaker 1: so this so now you're suddenly desperate. This will be interesting. 1337 01:12:16,720 --> 01:12:19,280 Speaker 1: I'll be interested to hear what the players sound like 1338 01:12:19,320 --> 01:12:23,280 Speaker 1: in their media obligations this week about you know, where 1339 01:12:23,320 --> 01:12:24,960 Speaker 1: their heads at and how they handle this and what 1340 01:12:25,000 --> 01:12:26,960 Speaker 1: are they going to think about going forward now. Certainly 1341 01:12:27,000 --> 01:12:31,479 Speaker 1: I've said it early too. You're not gonna they don't 1342 01:12:31,520 --> 01:12:33,320 Speaker 1: have to change anything up. I mean, it's not like 1343 01:12:33,320 --> 01:12:35,120 Speaker 1: they all right, from now on, we're gonna do this 1344 01:12:35,200 --> 01:12:37,680 Speaker 1: every week instead of that, or we're gonna do all 1345 01:12:37,720 --> 01:12:40,439 Speaker 1: of this and sticking to stop doing that. It's it's 1346 01:12:40,439 --> 01:12:44,679 Speaker 1: not a transformational thing like that. It's an attitude. And 1347 01:12:45,360 --> 01:12:47,800 Speaker 1: so I think it'll be interesting you here there is 1348 01:12:47,840 --> 01:12:49,920 Speaker 1: this week as they come out. All right, let's get 1349 01:12:49,920 --> 01:12:51,880 Speaker 1: back to the phone. Squeeze some more in here before 1350 01:12:51,920 --> 01:12:54,439 Speaker 1: the break we go to Clarence in Buffalo. Next Clarence, 1351 01:12:54,479 --> 01:12:56,160 Speaker 1: what do you have for us? You're on one Bill's life. 1352 01:12:57,439 --> 01:13:01,120 Speaker 1: Good afternoon, gentlemen, how are you doing today? Good? Good 1353 01:13:01,280 --> 01:13:05,040 Speaker 1: um our. Last year I called and that basically around 1354 01:13:05,120 --> 01:13:08,400 Speaker 1: the same thing that I suggested. It was the physicality 1355 01:13:08,439 --> 01:13:13,960 Speaker 1: of the bills and um. The other thing was I 1356 01:13:14,000 --> 01:13:18,320 Speaker 1: wanted to find out why aren't why are the offensive 1357 01:13:18,320 --> 01:13:22,120 Speaker 1: coordinators or the coordinators seeing the same things that we 1358 01:13:22,240 --> 01:13:26,519 Speaker 1: see I see whenever they're in the shotgun. Okay, we 1359 01:13:26,800 --> 01:13:30,240 Speaker 1: and you basically have no protection in the background itself 1360 01:13:30,280 --> 01:13:32,880 Speaker 1: for our offensive line, and we have a breakdown, and 1361 01:13:32,960 --> 01:13:36,679 Speaker 1: we've been having breakdowns whenever the other team is blitzed 1362 01:13:37,120 --> 01:13:39,679 Speaker 1: or set more people than we can we can block, 1363 01:13:40,280 --> 01:13:43,600 Speaker 1: and that makes Josh run run around like white crazy. 1364 01:13:43,840 --> 01:13:46,800 Speaker 1: And why aren't we putting like a double tight end 1365 01:13:47,600 --> 01:13:51,759 Speaker 1: or something like that to help protect him and even rollouts. 1366 01:13:51,760 --> 01:13:56,240 Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, so I always always hear 1367 01:13:56,280 --> 01:14:01,040 Speaker 1: you say about being in McDermott, how they accomplish what 1368 01:14:01,120 --> 01:14:03,840 Speaker 1: they have as they've been here and within the past 1369 01:14:03,880 --> 01:14:06,360 Speaker 1: four years or so. One of the things that I 1370 01:14:07,680 --> 01:14:14,360 Speaker 1: despise myself personally is that we don't sign offensive linemen 1371 01:14:15,560 --> 01:14:19,040 Speaker 1: with any kind of credibility. We take free treads and 1372 01:14:19,120 --> 01:14:21,240 Speaker 1: well resign it for one year and we can't as 1373 01:14:21,280 --> 01:14:23,240 Speaker 1: soon as it be the process for the past couple 1374 01:14:23,280 --> 01:14:26,599 Speaker 1: of years. So I just want to ask you that 1375 01:14:26,680 --> 01:14:30,200 Speaker 1: and you can answer the questions for me. I appreciate 1376 01:14:30,280 --> 01:14:35,120 Speaker 1: the pants in the callum. Yeah, I mean, I don't 1377 01:14:35,120 --> 01:14:37,640 Speaker 1: think there's any secret. They've taken a budgetary approach to 1378 01:14:37,800 --> 01:14:40,400 Speaker 1: free agency. They don't like overpaying there because that's the 1379 01:14:40,439 --> 01:14:42,680 Speaker 1: quickest way to get on the wrong side of the 1380 01:14:42,720 --> 01:14:45,599 Speaker 1: cap and then you're cap strapped and you can't do 1381 01:14:45,640 --> 01:14:48,639 Speaker 1: anything to improve your roster. I would disagree with him 1382 01:14:48,640 --> 01:14:50,400 Speaker 1: on the old line to I think they do. I 1383 01:14:50,439 --> 01:14:52,720 Speaker 1: think they handle free agency really well. And the fact 1384 01:14:52,760 --> 01:14:56,160 Speaker 1: that they give these guys one year deals motivates them. 1385 01:14:56,280 --> 01:14:58,759 Speaker 1: Number one. Motivates the player and it's not a big 1386 01:14:59,120 --> 01:15:03,240 Speaker 1: cap hit going forward. That's how they found Quentin Spain. 1387 01:15:03,320 --> 01:15:05,840 Speaker 1: Then they he had his best year ever as a 1388 01:15:05,880 --> 01:15:08,120 Speaker 1: pro for the Bills. They signed him to an extension 1389 01:15:08,720 --> 01:15:12,200 Speaker 1: and he falls flat. Now now he was a free agent, 1390 01:15:12,880 --> 01:15:15,080 Speaker 1: he goes Now I think he's at Sissy at Cincinnati. 1391 01:15:15,280 --> 01:15:17,920 Speaker 1: Now he's having another great year because he's highly motivated. 1392 01:15:18,920 --> 01:15:22,400 Speaker 1: They're ahead of that the Bills are, So that's one 1393 01:15:22,439 --> 01:15:24,400 Speaker 1: thing I think they've handled that extremely way. You can 1394 01:15:24,400 --> 01:15:28,479 Speaker 1: say what you want about finding offensive lineman. Eric Wood 1395 01:15:28,479 --> 01:15:30,760 Speaker 1: will say this too, The Bills have a really good 1396 01:15:30,760 --> 01:15:33,240 Speaker 1: offensive lineman, maybe not dominant, maybe the best in the NFL, 1397 01:15:33,320 --> 01:15:36,759 Speaker 1: but very good offensive line. But depth in the NFL 1398 01:15:36,840 --> 01:15:41,000 Speaker 1: at offensive line is a myth. According to Eric or 1399 01:15:41,080 --> 01:15:44,639 Speaker 1: so to speak, there's just not enough big, good offensive 1400 01:15:44,640 --> 01:15:48,120 Speaker 1: lineman in the world to line up and help these 1401 01:15:48,200 --> 01:15:50,320 Speaker 1: people play. You can't get him for the right price anyway. 1402 01:15:50,320 --> 01:15:52,960 Speaker 1: You can't. You know, you can't keep it going. And 1403 01:15:53,080 --> 01:15:55,960 Speaker 1: also about the shotgun thing, holding guys in and out 1404 01:15:55,960 --> 01:16:00,240 Speaker 1: of the pot, I'll say this I was, yes, the 1405 01:16:00,280 --> 01:16:04,160 Speaker 1: Bills see the exact same thing we do. Unlike us, though, however, 1406 01:16:04,200 --> 01:16:06,760 Speaker 1: they know why certain things happen and why there are 1407 01:16:06,800 --> 01:16:10,120 Speaker 1: problems on the field or successes on the field. They 1408 01:16:10,120 --> 01:16:11,760 Speaker 1: know where it stems from, and they know how to 1409 01:16:12,240 --> 01:16:14,720 Speaker 1: manipulate it to make it happen more often in the 1410 01:16:14,720 --> 01:16:17,840 Speaker 1: case of success and less often in the case of 1411 01:16:18,439 --> 01:16:22,200 Speaker 1: lack of success. The thing about is they put out people, personnel, 1412 01:16:22,280 --> 01:16:26,439 Speaker 1: formations and plays to give their guys a best chance 1413 01:16:26,479 --> 01:16:30,080 Speaker 1: at winning. That's first and foremost what they're trying to do. 1414 01:16:30,120 --> 01:16:32,840 Speaker 1: And we can belliate and complain and after the fact 1415 01:16:32,880 --> 01:16:34,920 Speaker 1: and say had never worked, it was stupid even try 1416 01:16:34,920 --> 01:16:36,800 Speaker 1: and all that, but the fact of the matter is this, 1417 01:16:37,040 --> 01:16:39,000 Speaker 1: they know what they're trying to do, why they're trying 1418 01:16:39,040 --> 01:16:42,120 Speaker 1: to do it. They know the limitations of their own players, 1419 01:16:42,720 --> 01:16:45,599 Speaker 1: and they perceive the strengths of the other teams players 1420 01:16:45,600 --> 01:16:48,600 Speaker 1: and their weaknesses. That's where all this play calling and 1421 01:16:48,720 --> 01:16:51,679 Speaker 1: the formations and the philosophies that you see, that's where 1422 01:16:51,680 --> 01:16:54,800 Speaker 1: it all stems from. They study film, they watch them. 1423 01:16:54,840 --> 01:16:57,720 Speaker 1: They know their own players very well, and they think 1424 01:16:57,760 --> 01:17:00,760 Speaker 1: they know the other team very well as as well, 1425 01:17:01,720 --> 01:17:05,160 Speaker 1: so they call plays and formations and personnel and all 1426 01:17:05,200 --> 01:17:07,760 Speaker 1: that with giving their guys the best chance to win. 1427 01:17:08,479 --> 01:17:11,160 Speaker 1: That's where it all comes from. And you can complain 1428 01:17:11,280 --> 01:17:13,880 Speaker 1: and pooh pooh it all you want after the fact, 1429 01:17:14,560 --> 01:17:18,720 Speaker 1: but before it happens, it's not so easy. But that's 1430 01:17:18,760 --> 01:17:20,519 Speaker 1: where the Bills coaching staff, and that's where every other 1431 01:17:20,640 --> 01:17:24,719 Speaker 1: coaching staff in the NFL is. All the time, they're 1432 01:17:25,280 --> 01:17:28,599 Speaker 1: measuring their team's strengths and weaknesses against the other team's 1433 01:17:28,600 --> 01:17:30,960 Speaker 1: strengths and weaknesses and putting them in a best chance 1434 01:17:31,160 --> 01:17:34,320 Speaker 1: for the strengths to overcome the other team's weaknesses offensively 1435 01:17:34,360 --> 01:17:37,200 Speaker 1: in defense. That's the way it works. Sometimes it looks great, 1436 01:17:37,760 --> 01:17:41,599 Speaker 1: sometimes it doesn't. That's where the players come in. Break 1437 01:17:41,640 --> 01:17:43,200 Speaker 1: time for us here, we'll try to get to the 1438 01:17:43,200 --> 01:17:45,240 Speaker 1: rest of the phone calls.

But anyway, 1461 01:19:10,400 --> 01:19:14,240 Speaker 1: for the bills, I'm glad you brought this up, Steve, 1462 01:19:14,640 --> 01:19:18,120 Speaker 1: scheduled pain. Most people don't understand it. They'll never be 1463 01:19:18,160 --> 01:19:21,240 Speaker 1: able to understand it. Thankfully. I my first love was boxing, 1464 01:19:21,800 --> 01:19:24,519 Speaker 1: and I remember as a kid, every Wednesday it was 1465 01:19:25,000 --> 01:19:27,960 Speaker 1: we would spar, you know, full pads, bassline on the face, 1466 01:19:28,080 --> 01:19:33,320 Speaker 1: mouthguard to hold bit and it hurts, and I remember 1467 01:19:33,479 --> 01:19:35,880 Speaker 1: like having to get myself in a mental space to 1468 01:19:36,439 --> 01:19:41,240 Speaker 1: accept that every Wednesday. And thankfully, you know, I learned 1469 01:19:41,240 --> 01:19:43,760 Speaker 1: that lesson. And most people don't understand the kind of 1470 01:19:43,800 --> 01:19:47,080 Speaker 1: sacrifice you have to make of yourself to continuely do 1471 01:19:47,240 --> 01:19:51,599 Speaker 1: it week after week after week. Just imagine in football, 1472 01:19:51,600 --> 01:19:55,080 Speaker 1: play after play after play, you have to sacrifice yourself 1473 01:19:55,520 --> 01:19:59,799 Speaker 1: for somebody else to eat, and you can't really quantify 1474 01:19:59,840 --> 01:20:05,000 Speaker 1: that for people. It's it's definitely something you have to 1475 01:20:05,320 --> 01:20:07,880 Speaker 1: you have to learn, and you have to continuously have 1476 01:20:07,960 --> 01:20:10,160 Speaker 1: the mindset to do it. It's it's just because do 1477 01:20:10,200 --> 01:20:11,720 Speaker 1: it once doesn't mean you can do it twice. You 1478 01:20:11,720 --> 01:20:15,040 Speaker 1: just have to build that scar tissue. And the offensive 1479 01:20:15,080 --> 01:20:17,160 Speaker 1: line dirt bags. I was listening to the Shawn O 1480 01:20:17,280 --> 01:20:19,559 Speaker 1: Hair talk about the Giants offensive line and he's like, 1481 01:20:19,640 --> 01:20:23,000 Speaker 1: we just lack a dirt bag, and you need dirt bags. 1482 01:20:23,120 --> 01:20:27,719 Speaker 1: Like guys are just nasty, mean, surly Spencer Brown, John 1483 01:20:27,720 --> 01:20:33,479 Speaker 1: Feliciano not on the field. Yeah, well thanks Mark, Yeah, 1484 01:20:33,479 --> 01:20:36,240 Speaker 1: I agree with you. I mean you need your best 1485 01:20:36,240 --> 01:20:38,719 Speaker 1: players on the field, and Brown and Feliciano or guys 1486 01:20:38,720 --> 01:20:41,240 Speaker 1: that you know, we're starters that aren't in there that 1487 01:20:41,320 --> 01:20:43,240 Speaker 1: and they have an age and they got a little edge. 1488 01:20:43,479 --> 01:20:49,320 Speaker 1: Certainly Feliciano does this game against the Jets with Quinn 1489 01:20:49,360 --> 01:20:51,840 Speaker 1: and Williams down inside. I mean, he's a really great 1490 01:20:51,880 --> 01:20:55,280 Speaker 1: player and you got to have guys that combat them. 1491 01:20:55,360 --> 01:20:58,000 Speaker 1: And yeah, I appreciate what you know. Listening to the show, 1492 01:20:58,240 --> 01:21:00,000 Speaker 1: we had a big conversation for those of you just 1493 01:21:00,040 --> 01:21:03,680 Speaker 1: joined us about what it takes to be physical and 1494 01:21:03,760 --> 01:21:05,640 Speaker 1: know you got to be physical and get ready to 1495 01:21:05,680 --> 01:21:08,120 Speaker 1: do that and dredge up the passion and pay the 1496 01:21:08,160 --> 01:21:11,080 Speaker 1: price that comes with it physically, be willing to commit 1497 01:21:11,240 --> 01:21:14,680 Speaker 1: to paying that price before the fact, and you know 1498 01:21:14,720 --> 01:21:17,960 Speaker 1: it's the game. And one thing about the NFL, it 1499 01:21:18,000 --> 01:21:23,240 Speaker 1: has always demanded that of its players, and quite frankly, 1500 01:21:23,400 --> 01:21:25,360 Speaker 1: when when you get a chance to take a break 1501 01:21:25,400 --> 01:21:27,479 Speaker 1: from it, even during a game, you do. You know, 1502 01:21:27,600 --> 01:21:29,479 Speaker 1: it's so easy to do. I mentioned that. You know 1503 01:21:29,479 --> 01:21:31,320 Speaker 1: you've seen teams get way up on it, like the 1504 01:21:31,600 --> 01:21:34,920 Speaker 1: Denver Broncos got way upon the Cowboys this last weekend. 1505 01:21:35,320 --> 01:21:37,120 Speaker 1: As soon as they felt like that game was out 1506 01:21:37,120 --> 01:21:41,320 Speaker 1: of reach twenty seven nothing, they shut it down and 1507 01:21:41,439 --> 01:21:44,440 Speaker 1: bit bip did he bop? Did he boop? Two touchdowns 1508 01:21:44,560 --> 01:21:46,920 Speaker 1: quick for Dallas at late in the game. It's just 1509 01:21:46,960 --> 01:21:49,200 Speaker 1: what happens when you'd let your foot off the gas 1510 01:21:49,200 --> 01:21:51,840 Speaker 1: in the league. Dallas had no shot in that game, 1511 01:21:51,880 --> 01:21:53,759 Speaker 1: and all of a sudden they scored two quick touchdowns 1512 01:21:53,800 --> 01:21:57,360 Speaker 1: and all it was was an attitude changed by the Bronchos, 1513 01:21:57,760 --> 01:22:00,640 Speaker 1: in my opinion, And that's how you know when you 1514 01:22:00,680 --> 01:22:03,639 Speaker 1: walk into a game in any NFL game. This isn't 1515 01:22:03,640 --> 01:22:06,320 Speaker 1: just exclusively the Bills and Jaguars or anything else. It's 1516 01:22:06,600 --> 01:22:08,640 Speaker 1: it's the way it happens. It's Baltimore Ravens in the 1517 01:22:08,640 --> 01:22:12,200 Speaker 1: Cincinnati Bengals. You know, it's the La Rams and the 1518 01:22:12,479 --> 01:22:17,400 Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans. You know, you gotta show up ready. You 1519 01:22:17,479 --> 01:22:20,960 Speaker 1: gotta show up ready or you're gonna get it handed 1520 01:22:21,000 --> 01:22:23,880 Speaker 1: to you. Yeah, let's go back to the phones to 1521 01:22:24,040 --> 01:22:25,840 Speaker 1: Jack and cheek Owaga, we go. What do you have 1522 01:22:25,880 --> 01:22:32,759 Speaker 1: for us? Jack? Here, guys, I was happy when Spencer 1523 01:22:32,800 --> 01:22:35,920 Speaker 1: Brown came in and earned that right tackle spot. It 1524 01:22:36,040 --> 01:22:39,799 Speaker 1: allowed us to move Williams inside, Feliciano over to left guard, 1525 01:22:39,920 --> 01:22:44,160 Speaker 1: and that looked like our best wine combination. Now we 1526 01:22:44,200 --> 01:22:47,799 Speaker 1: don't have that. You know, Brown and Feliciano are both injured, 1527 01:22:48,680 --> 01:22:53,240 Speaker 1: making putting different combinations out there, and unfortunately, Cody Ford 1528 01:22:53,320 --> 01:22:56,360 Speaker 1: did not look like a guy who is ready to 1529 01:22:56,400 --> 01:23:01,360 Speaker 1: take advantage of an opportunity. I mean, by the second half, 1530 01:23:01,400 --> 01:23:04,000 Speaker 1: it should have been pretty obvious that the Jaguires were 1531 01:23:05,120 --> 01:23:08,200 Speaker 1: being physical with us, and for a while there it 1532 01:23:08,280 --> 01:23:11,800 Speaker 1: looked like Josh was the bowl of meat and it 1533 01:23:11,920 --> 01:23:16,320 Speaker 1: was the Russian bullshit bail a trying to keep out 1534 01:23:16,360 --> 01:23:20,240 Speaker 1: lions and tigers and jaguires when the other team can 1535 01:23:20,280 --> 01:23:24,080 Speaker 1: dictate how we run our offense and we're constantly pass 1536 01:23:24,160 --> 01:23:26,240 Speaker 1: blocking and we can't let the guys be aggressive and 1537 01:23:26,360 --> 01:23:29,280 Speaker 1: run blocking. It puts them on their heels all the time. 1538 01:23:29,320 --> 01:23:31,880 Speaker 1: And they just gave us alive. I mean, that was 1539 01:23:31,920 --> 01:23:35,479 Speaker 1: a game that we just needed a field goal to tie, 1540 01:23:35,720 --> 01:23:39,639 Speaker 1: and we couldn't muster enough offense to get back into 1541 01:23:39,800 --> 01:23:43,080 Speaker 1: range for a tying field goal. And that lack of 1542 01:23:43,120 --> 01:23:46,080 Speaker 1: a run game and the physicality, I mean, it just 1543 01:23:46,600 --> 01:23:50,400 Speaker 1: you know, it just popped out to everybody that I 1544 01:23:50,520 --> 01:23:53,680 Speaker 1: was with it was watching the game. That's all I 1545 01:23:53,760 --> 01:23:55,760 Speaker 1: got to say. Yeah, thanks for the college Jack. It 1546 01:23:55,880 --> 01:23:59,400 Speaker 1: was eye opening that an offense that has been so 1547 01:23:59,520 --> 01:24:02,400 Speaker 1: high powered or so successful in putting points on the 1548 01:24:02,439 --> 01:24:06,040 Speaker 1: board in that game could not dictate play to the 1549 01:24:06,080 --> 01:24:09,920 Speaker 1: opponent in any way, shape or form, even though they 1550 01:24:09,960 --> 01:24:12,760 Speaker 1: had the best player on the field. Because the best 1551 01:24:12,760 --> 01:24:16,160 Speaker 1: player on the field was not getting any help from 1552 01:24:16,160 --> 01:24:20,280 Speaker 1: the guys around him. It just wasn't It just was 1553 01:24:20,400 --> 01:24:24,320 Speaker 1: not there. There was no consistency of play, there was 1554 01:24:24,360 --> 01:24:30,639 Speaker 1: no execution. There were fundamentals that were not up to snuff. Yeah, 1555 01:24:30,640 --> 01:24:34,400 Speaker 1: I think this is something too that you still expect 1556 01:24:34,439 --> 01:24:36,240 Speaker 1: And I think this might be something that you know, 1557 01:24:36,240 --> 01:24:38,720 Speaker 1: you can ask Sean McDermott about maybe or whatever. But 1558 01:24:39,439 --> 01:24:42,639 Speaker 1: what would it if you look back on it, Because 1559 01:24:42,680 --> 01:24:44,559 Speaker 1: you know, you were you know, whatever players you had, 1560 01:24:44,600 --> 01:24:46,080 Speaker 1: you got to play these guys and you and you 1561 01:24:46,080 --> 01:24:48,120 Speaker 1: got some faith in them too. There's no reason to 1562 01:24:48,160 --> 01:24:49,439 Speaker 1: think that the Bills were going to go in there 1563 01:24:49,439 --> 01:24:51,559 Speaker 1: and that flat and not perform as well as they 1564 01:24:51,680 --> 01:24:53,800 Speaker 1: you know, perform less than what you thought they would. 1565 01:24:53,800 --> 01:24:56,040 Speaker 1: There's you had every reason to believe that even with 1566 01:24:56,120 --> 01:24:58,400 Speaker 1: the lineup they had, and the coaching staff too, they 1567 01:24:58,439 --> 01:25:00,360 Speaker 1: had to believe that they were gonna win this game. 1568 01:25:01,080 --> 01:25:03,479 Speaker 1: And I'd be interesting to find out, maybe if you 1569 01:25:03,479 --> 01:25:07,360 Speaker 1: could ask Sean McDermott, like during the halftime of that game, say, 1570 01:25:08,479 --> 01:25:10,679 Speaker 1: and looking back on it now after the game is over, 1571 01:25:10,920 --> 01:25:15,880 Speaker 1: what could have happened in that game to turn it 1572 01:25:15,920 --> 01:25:20,160 Speaker 1: around without having the elevator, like the play better or whatever. 1573 01:25:20,280 --> 01:25:23,000 Speaker 1: Could they have done anything as a coaching staff to 1574 01:25:24,080 --> 01:25:26,960 Speaker 1: light a fire or you know, does somebody start a 1575 01:25:27,000 --> 01:25:30,280 Speaker 1: fight in that game? Does somebody take as cheap shot 1576 01:25:30,320 --> 01:25:32,240 Speaker 1: at Josh Allen and all of a sudden, the entire 1577 01:25:32,240 --> 01:25:34,200 Speaker 1: team rises, you know, get him, or does somebody take 1578 01:25:34,200 --> 01:25:37,360 Speaker 1: a cheap shot on Cole Beasley that the whole team 1579 01:25:37,479 --> 01:25:39,960 Speaker 1: sees and rallies around. You know what could have happened 1580 01:25:40,040 --> 01:25:42,479 Speaker 1: in that game at any point, because there was only 1581 01:25:42,479 --> 01:25:46,240 Speaker 1: one play game. You know, coaching staff would say, you know, 1582 01:25:46,280 --> 01:25:48,599 Speaker 1: if you look back on if this would have happened, 1583 01:25:48,800 --> 01:25:50,680 Speaker 1: we might you know that Matt might have lit a 1584 01:25:50,800 --> 01:25:53,360 Speaker 1: fire on him and got us going, because in a 1585 01:25:53,400 --> 01:25:55,599 Speaker 1: game like that, when you've got a team like Buffalo, 1586 01:25:55,680 --> 01:26:01,920 Speaker 1: does turning it on is difference making in a game 1587 01:26:01,960 --> 01:26:04,160 Speaker 1: like that, And I think that's the thing you kind 1588 01:26:04,160 --> 01:26:07,439 Speaker 1: of ask yourself, what would we have had to do 1589 01:26:08,320 --> 01:26:10,360 Speaker 1: to light something? And I think maybe sometimes you think 1590 01:26:10,360 --> 01:26:12,519 Speaker 1: about it. A guy like Josh Allen, maybe he felt 1591 01:26:12,520 --> 01:26:14,479 Speaker 1: that or recognize that and said, you know what, I'm 1592 01:26:15,360 --> 01:26:17,920 Speaker 1: I'm gonna make a run here on this third and two. 1593 01:26:17,920 --> 01:26:19,599 Speaker 1: I'm gonna get this myself and we'll pick him up 1594 01:26:19,600 --> 01:26:21,840 Speaker 1: like the quarterback sneak in Dallas on Thanksgiving. That's what 1595 01:26:21,960 --> 01:26:22,960 Speaker 1: I was trying to, you know what I mean. He 1596 01:26:23,000 --> 01:26:24,760 Speaker 1: was trying to be the difference in the game. And 1597 01:26:24,840 --> 01:26:26,640 Speaker 1: sometimes you get yourself in trouble when you do that, 1598 01:26:26,680 --> 01:26:29,240 Speaker 1: and who else could have done that? There's got to 1599 01:26:29,240 --> 01:26:31,479 Speaker 1: be somebody who could have done something. And that's you know, 1600 01:26:31,479 --> 01:26:33,160 Speaker 1: you kind of do when you say soul searching, that's 1601 01:26:33,160 --> 01:26:35,240 Speaker 1: one of the things you ask yourself, what could I 1602 01:26:35,280 --> 01:26:38,240 Speaker 1: have done to like, yeah, you know, raise the level 1603 01:26:38,360 --> 01:26:42,360 Speaker 1: light something. It's a it's a good question, as you know, 1604 01:26:42,400 --> 01:26:44,679 Speaker 1: I don't know. There's no answer. I mean no easy answer, 1605 01:26:44,800 --> 01:26:46,640 Speaker 1: no easy answer, and there's no answer that you'll ever 1606 01:26:46,680 --> 01:26:48,120 Speaker 1: be able to find out whether it was true or not. 1607 01:26:48,240 --> 01:26:50,479 Speaker 1: But um, it's a question. You got to ask the 1608 01:26:50,520 --> 01:26:52,639 Speaker 1: coaching staff to make sure that if it does happen again, 1609 01:26:52,680 --> 01:26:55,400 Speaker 1: or if it goes down that road, you can formulate 1610 01:26:55,439 --> 01:26:58,160 Speaker 1: a plan. Break time for us, Steve and I will 1611 01:26:58,200 --> 01:27:00,200 Speaker 1: wrap things up. When do we return here On One 1612 01:27:00,200 --> 01:27:02,920 Speaker 1: Bills Live presented by Klota Health, It's Buffalo Bills Radio 1613 01:27:15,880 --> 01:27:18,760 Speaker 1: time for New York Lotteries inside the Numbers, brought to 1614 01:27:18,760 --> 01:27:21,040 Speaker 1: you by the New York Lottery.

Jets coming 1623 01:27:48,320 --> 01:27:51,800 Speaker 1: in with three extra days of prep playing on Thursday night. 1624 01:27:52,040 --> 01:27:55,080 Speaker 1: For the Bills, as we've mentioned, they've been plucky at 1625 01:27:55,120 --> 01:28:00,400 Speaker 1: home Steve wins against Cincinnati and the Titans. I gotta 1626 01:28:00,439 --> 01:28:01,960 Speaker 1: wonder what kind of team is going to show up 1627 01:28:02,320 --> 01:28:04,760 Speaker 1: for them. They'll certainly be motivated because you know, the 1628 01:28:04,760 --> 01:28:07,120 Speaker 1: Bill's got a target on their back now as uh. 1629 01:28:07,280 --> 01:28:10,840 Speaker 1: You know, the AFC East leaders defended the division and themps. 1630 01:28:10,840 --> 01:28:14,640 Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. The Jets scored thirty points on 1631 01:28:14,680 --> 01:28:20,840 Speaker 1: the Colts and they yeah, and they scored thirty four 1632 01:28:20,960 --> 01:28:28,000 Speaker 1: on Cincinnati with two different quarterbacks twenty seven. I gotta 1633 01:28:28,000 --> 01:28:30,400 Speaker 1: tell you they got talented receiver. Jamison Crowder is a 1634 01:28:30,439 --> 01:28:32,160 Speaker 1: heck of a s I've always liked Crowder. I think 1635 01:28:32,160 --> 01:28:34,960 Speaker 1: he's a good point. He's got a seption build, he's 1636 01:28:34,960 --> 01:28:37,439 Speaker 1: got a thick build, and he's good as he's good 1637 01:28:37,520 --> 01:28:40,360 Speaker 1: good Hells where to go in the zone holes. Yeah, yeah, 1638 01:28:40,400 --> 01:28:43,360 Speaker 1: I like him too, But Elijah Moore is exciting. We'll 1639 01:28:43,400 --> 01:28:44,760 Speaker 1: find out if the week goes on, who's going to 1640 01:28:44,800 --> 01:28:47,519 Speaker 1: play quarterback for the Jets. But until we do find out, 1641 01:28:47,560 --> 01:28:48,960 Speaker 1: it's gonna be hard to get our mind around what 1642 01:28:48,960 --> 01:28:50,479 Speaker 1: it's going to look like. We may find out as 1643 01:28:50,479 --> 01:28:54,160 Speaker 1: early as tomorrow, actually, because coach Salas said by Wednesday, 1644 01:28:54,160 --> 01:28:56,320 Speaker 1: we'll know who's going to be up and ready to 1645 01:28:56,360 --> 01:29:00,960 Speaker 1: go to practice anyway. Right, So, Zach Wilson, whether he 1646 01:29:01,000 --> 01:29:04,120 Speaker 1: returns to practice, Mike White, is the numbness in his 1647 01:29:04,200 --> 01:29:07,480 Speaker 1: hand solved and no longer an issue, And the ageless 1648 01:29:07,600 --> 01:29:11,080 Speaker 1: Josh Johnson, who will it be. We hope to find 1649 01:29:11,120 --> 01:29:13,400 Speaker 1: out more on that tomorrow. Bill's back on the practice 1650 01:29:13,439 --> 01:29:16,679 Speaker 1: field tomorrow as well. We'll have updates on Spencer Brown 1651 01:29:17,320 --> 01:29:20,439 Speaker 1: and Dawson Knox, who both have a chance to play 1652 01:29:20,439 --> 01:29:22,600 Speaker 1: on Sunday that would make a difference. We'll see you 1653 01:29:22,640 --> 01:29:30,920 Speaker 1: tomorrow at one
