Speaker 1: These One Bills Live presented by calllighta Health Welcome into

Speaker 1: with us. We got a ton of stuff going on today.

8
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 1: This is a normal Friday practice, a normal Thursday practice

9
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 1: on a Friday for the Bills. With the night game,

10
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 1: they move everything back to keep in their routine. Even

11
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:05,320
Speaker 1: the menu at the lunch even the menu upstairs is

12
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 1: a Thursday menus rather the Friday menu. Today we got

13
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 1: along with Chris and I, we're gonna have Stevie Johnson

14
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:13,959
Speaker 1: in Who's the Legend of the Game coming into one thirty,

15
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:15,040
Speaker 1: and then at the top of the hour of the

16
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 1: two o'clock hour, Greg Cosel will come on with us

17
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:19,960
Speaker 1: as well, and then after that or at some point,

18
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 1: we'll have post practice sound from the players. We usually

19
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 1: don't have that on Friday because it's usually it comes

20
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 1: on Thursday. So now today we're gonna have some of

21
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 1: that as well. A lot going on. Also, the Twitter

22
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 1: topic is out, there's a fan mail bag answer your

23
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:35,959
Speaker 1: questions to ask you ask or comment on the Bills.

24
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 1: You can do that at that one. Bill's Live. And

25
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 1: you know, Chris we I'm surprised. I know it's Friday,

26
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 1: finger quotes Thursday, but I'm always surprised at man, how

27
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 1: fast we jump into the next game. And two days

28
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 1: ago it was like, oh my gosh, Cincinnati, this Cincinnati,

29
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 1: that our offense, this our offense, that our defensive injuries

30
00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 1: and the defense. Now it's like, let's go Denver. You know,

31
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 1: it's the game. The season just tumbles downhill.

32
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's kind of the beauty of the NFL that

33
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 2: you can't really celebrate too long about a win or

34
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 2: a loss. You can't sulk for too long because you

35
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 2: have to start game planning for the next week. And

36
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 2: the Bills with this kind of unique schedule with all

37
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 2: the primetime games, the Thursday night game just last week,

38
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 2: you get kind of the mini by going into the

39
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:22,079
Speaker 2: Bengals game and now entering that crucial stretch, not only

40
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 2: because of the teams that they play, but just the

41
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 2: second half of the season that so many teams and

42
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:30,640
Speaker 2: a few of them. Bills teams during the drought started

43
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 2: off really well in the first half. It's really how

44
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 2: you play November, December, January. That's kind of become the

45
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 2: new standard for this Bills team. That they certainly want

46
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 2: to get off to good starts in September and October,

47
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:43,960
Speaker 2: but they understand and the Patriots were so good at

48
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:47,119
Speaker 2: this throughout the entire Brady era. Playing your best football

49
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:49,919
Speaker 2: down the stretch starts right now in the second half

50
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:50,800
Speaker 2: of the season for the Bills.

51
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 1: Yeah. And before we get into the Bills Broncos neck

52
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 1: deep into it. You did you catch by the way,

53
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 1: this game, this week's game against the Broncos are presented

54
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 1: by Independent Health. Independent Health you deserve the red shirt treatment.

55
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 1: Before we get into that, did you see any of

56
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 1: the game last night, the Bears little Panthers game.

57
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:13,919
Speaker 2: What's funny about that is, I think sometimes, and I'm

58
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 2: not trying to generalize all Bills fans, but sometimes you

59
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 2: see the Bills recently, they've struggled in the first quarter,

60
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 2: first half of games offensively, the defense is giving up

61
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:26,519
Speaker 2: more big plays than ever in the Sean McDermott era.

62
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 2: Watching that Thursday Night Football game. If you're like, hey, look,

63
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:32,920
Speaker 2: there's nothing else on, I'm gonna watch this kind of

64
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 2: a reality check as to what some teams have to

65
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 2: deal with with their quarterbacks, with their offensive line, the

66
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 2: skill position talent. So I think it was a good

67
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 2: reality check for any Bills fans to say, hey, look,

68
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 2: even Josh Allen and the Bills maybe not operating as

69
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 2: good as they have in the first half, better than

70
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 2: about ninety percent of the teams out there, even when

71
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 2: they're not at their best.

72
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 1: Right, you and I were talking before we came on

73
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 1: the show, and you know, it was a tough week

74
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 1: for Bills fans because of the Cincinnati game. There's a

75
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 1: couple of generalize and I know, you know Bills some

76
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 1: Bills fans, there's always a percentage of Bills fans don't

77
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 1: want to hear anything about it, about you know, commiserating

78
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 1: or what they call excuse making or whatever. Like I

79
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 1: gotta tell you look back and the Bengal. The Bengals

80
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 1: are on a heater. There's no two ways about it.

81
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 1: They are playing really well. They've won their fourth game

82
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:24,920
Speaker 1: against the Bills, and the week before they played a.

83
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:27,159
Speaker 3: Forty nine Ers team in San Francisco.

84
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:30,479
Speaker 1: In San Francisco and thumped them by seventeen points.

85
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 3: It's a good football team and they're good, yeah, really

86
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 3: good football.

87
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:36,359
Speaker 1: The Niners are a good football team. They were you

88
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 1: know before that, they were everybody's you know darling. They

89
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:44,160
Speaker 1: let's see here the Niners. Oh I'm sorry, I'm on

90
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 1: the wrong year. The Niners come out and they got

91
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:50,840
Speaker 1: beat thirty one seventeen. So they got beat by fourteen

92
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 1: point two touchdowns. The Bills go into Cincinnati, Cincinntay's got

93
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:56,160
Speaker 1: a home game against the Bills and only beat him

94
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:58,360
Speaker 1: by six. Then we go back further and go a

95
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 1: little deeper than that. People are kind of romanticizing the

96
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 1: offense and the way it was under Brian Dable, and

97
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 1: I did too. The guy was a great coordinator. Was

98
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 1: And you can say what you want as well about

99
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:11,920
Speaker 1: statistics and bag you can bend statistics any way you want.

100
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 1: Let me just tell you something, every conceivable metric you

101
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:19,679
Speaker 1: can name, just about the Bills are better now under

102
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 1: Ken Dorsey statistically than they were against were with Brian Dable.

103
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 1: And that's both ways. That's both numbers wise and comparatively speaking.

104
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 1: The leagues they're playing in the twenty twenty one twenty

105
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 1: twenty two league with Dable, or twenty twenty twenty and

106
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one years with Daboll, the twenty two and

107
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:40,720
Speaker 1: twenty three year with Dorsey. The offense is better now

108
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 1: than it was. Yeah, and that's the hard part to

109
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 1: get around.

110
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:46,119
Speaker 2: And it's really important to keep that in perspective because

111
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 2: I do think from that because we saw the maturation

112
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:51,920
Speaker 2: of Josh Allen under Brian Dable that he was a

113
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 2: rookie that flashed a little bit but looked like he

114
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 2: needed to go a long ways to twenty nineteen, took

115
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:00,200
Speaker 2: that step and then the huge step in twenty twenty

116
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 2: where he got an MVP vote at the end of

117
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:06,799
Speaker 2: that season. I think that raised the standard where Bills

118
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:10,839
Speaker 2: fans believed that every game, every week, every month was

119
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:15,160
Speaker 2: going to look like a perfect efficiency. With Cole Beasley

120
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:17,159
Speaker 2: and his prime and John Brown in his prime and

121
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 2: Digs coming over that it's not inconceivable that the Bills

122
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 2: aren't going to necessarily play that type of football every quarter,

123
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:29,840
Speaker 2: every drive. And I think yes, in that Bengals game

124
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 2: set from the after the first drive into the second

125
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 2: quarter toward the end of that half, Yes, that was

126
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 2: a lull. After that, the Bills offense moved the football

127
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:42,839
Speaker 2: at will. The Dalton Kinkaid fumble was kind of a

128
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 2: fluky play where he gets flipped over and Jermaine Pratt

129
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 2: kind of hits him in a weird way. He fumbles.

130
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:49,720
Speaker 2: Had he not fumble, they kind of felt like the

131
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 2: Bills were going to score. They get the ball right back,

132
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:55,159
Speaker 2: go down and score again. So those lulls are going

133
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:57,560
Speaker 2: to be there even with the best teams. If you

134
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 2: watch the Chiefs and earlier this season, watch the Bengals.

135
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:03,280
Speaker 2: Joe Burrow had the lowest quarterback rating in the NFL

136
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 2: in the first month of the season. So the ebbs

137
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 2: and the flows will be there with this team regardless

138
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 2: of who the quarterback is.

139
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:13,080
Speaker 1: How salty do you think that the Chiefs fans are now?

140
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 1: The Chiefs are on a buy this week and most

141
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 1: recently if I can get back to back to where

142
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 1: they were the most recently, the Chiefs coming off a

143
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 1: what a nine? A fourteen point fifteen point loss to

144
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 1: the Broncos, and then they beat the Dolphins to go

145
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 1: into their bye week. But how salty were Chiefs fans?

146
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 1: Scored nine? Points against the Denver Broncos. It happens a

147
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 1: team that the Miami Dolphins hung seventy points on.

148
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 3: It happens.

149
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 2: And I think not that it's guarantees that it will happen,

150
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 2: but you and I were talking just before this, the

151
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 2: twenty twenty one Bills. I always go back to with

152
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 2: this season. I think you can compare kind of last

153
00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 2: year going thirteen and three to the twenty twenty third

154
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 2: teen and three, But if you can compare this year

155
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 2: twenty twenty one, they lose nine to six to the Jaguars.

156
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 2: Then in December they lose the win game to the

157
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 2: Patriots fourteen to ten.

158
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 3: The follow and everyone was down after that.

159
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 2: The following week they get down huge to the Tom

160
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 2: Brady Buccaneers. Josh Allen storms that team back. They get

161
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 2: two overtime. They kind of there's some bad calls late

162
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 2: in that game. Stefon Diggs doesn't get called for a

163
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 2: defensive pass interference on him, there's one on Mike Evans

164
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 2: in overtime. They lose that game. In overtime, the Bills

165
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 2: are seven and six. Then they're seven and six and

166
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 2: the rookie year Mac Jones Patriots are kind of knocking

167
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:40,560
Speaker 2: on the door to maybe unseat the Bills and have

168
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 2: that Bill's AFC East rain be one season after that,

169
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:45,959
Speaker 2: they win four in a row, and we know that,

170
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:47,199
Speaker 2: and we all kind.

171
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 4: Of rugg them.

172
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 2: Were would agree that that was the Bill's probably best

173
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 2: chance to get to a Super Bowl with how they

174
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 2: demolish the Patriots in the wildcard round and of course

175
00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 2: the thirteen second game against the Chiefs in Canton City.

176
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:03,319
Speaker 2: So the Bills know that, and I think the leaders

177
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 2: on the team, the guys who have been there, Digs Davis,

178
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 2: Josh Allen, certainly Ken Dorsey was there for all of that,

179
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 2: Certainly Sean McDermott. They understand, Look, we don't want to

180
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 2: be five and four at this point, but playing our

181
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 2: best football starting in the second half of the season

182
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:21,079
Speaker 2: is more important than anything else. They've done it before,

183
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 2: they've done it before. Just two years ago.

184
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:24,599
Speaker 1: We thought about this too, and we were having a

185
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 1: conversation about how you know the best case scenario and

186
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:29,840
Speaker 1: worst case scenario and how and how it might roll out.

187
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 1: When he looking back at the beginning of the season,

188
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 1: when the Bills were you know, the Bills were good.

189
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:36,199
Speaker 1: I mean, no question they walked into New York and

190
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 1: you know, Josh was hyped up and turned it over

191
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:42,560
Speaker 1: and they lose to the Jets. Then they win three

192
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:44,200
Speaker 1: in a row, and I mean they look good doing

193
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 1: it thirty eight, ten, thirty seven to three, forty eight

194
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:49,319
Speaker 1: to twenty, so they look good doing it now. Then

195
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 1: these last six weeks has been a loss and a win,

196
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 1: and a loss and a win and a loss. So

197
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 1: they're coming out of this and you think back to

198
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 1: what would happen and when you want you think back

199
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 1: to what the expectations where. Certainly we want to win

200
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 1: every game when you start the season, but you're playing

201
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:12,440
Speaker 1: the NFC East with Philly, Dallas, Washington and the Giants,

202
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:15,080
Speaker 1: and you're thinking, okay, that's a tough You're also playing

203
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 1: the AFC West with the Chiefs, with the Chargers, with

204
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 1: the Broncos, with the Raiders, and you're thinking, okay, all right.

205
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:24,840
Speaker 1: You know it's it's kind of a gauntlet of a schedule.

206
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 1: Plus plus you got Cincinnati and Jacksonville mixed in, so

207
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,839
Speaker 1: it's a toughest schedule. It's a first place schedule, no

208
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 1: question about it. So you're thinking, man, the one seed

209
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 1: is going to be hard. They can still win the division,

210
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 1: the AFC East, and really what it's going to come

211
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 1: down to is the three division games. You would think

212
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 1: they do that, everything's still in front of them, but

213
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:49,000
Speaker 1: they got to get the point where they got to

214
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:50,960
Speaker 1: start clicking again like they did in weeks two, three,

215
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 1: and four. They've got to find something that's there and go.

216
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:56,560
Speaker 1: And I think most Bills fans know it's in there.

217
00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:58,720
Speaker 1: It's frustrating not to have seen it yet. But I

218
00:10:58,760 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 1: think like you and I was like, I want to

219
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 1: this team, even though they're in eighth place in the

220
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 1: playoff run, this is a playoff caliber team there. I've

221
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:09,959
Speaker 1: said it since twenty nineteen, since twenty twenty, they are

222
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 1: really hard to beat.

223
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:12,319
Speaker 3: That's true.

224
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:17,839
Speaker 1: We talked about it yesterday with Chris Chris Brown. Every

225
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:21,080
Speaker 1: game is like self inflicted one point one possession loss.

226
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:24,319
Speaker 2: They've had, I think only two games where they've lost

227
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 2: by more than one score Bengals game in the playoffs

228
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 2: and the Colts.

229
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:30,199
Speaker 1: Yeah, forty five to fifteen when the Colts came back

230
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:31,440
Speaker 1: after getting put out of the playoffs.

231
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 2: Yeas, yes, yeah, So those are the old like to

232
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 2: beat the Bills, and it's it's really the case with

233
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:38,959
Speaker 2: a lot of the best teams. You don't see a

234
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,320
Speaker 2: lot of times where the Chiefs lose like they just

235
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:43,840
Speaker 2: did to the Denver Broncos. If they lose, it's usually

236
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 2: by a field goal, by four points, by a touchdown.

237
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 2: The Bills proved against again in Cincinnati, decimated with injuries,

238
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:53,319
Speaker 2: a bad start again on offense. They lose that game

239
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 2: by six points.

240
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:55,680
Speaker 1: One of the things that got us through the offseason

241
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:58,320
Speaker 1: was the fact this team was thirteen and three last year.

242
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 1: You threw out the Bengals game the never you know,

243
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 1: they lost three games by a total of eight points.

244
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 1: You go back to twenty twenty one, and you're right.

245
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:10,040
Speaker 1: You go all the way back to Week six, No,

246
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, that's not right. Week ten and it's forty

247
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:14,600
Speaker 1: five seventeen against the Colts.

248
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 3: That's it.

249
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:19,440
Speaker 1: Every other game in that every other game in that

250
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 1: season was also one of those ones word score games.

251
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:25,120
Speaker 2: And this is not to say that I think like

252
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 2: everything is perfect with the Bills. They should be completely

253
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 2: complacent and happy with five and four. What I think

254
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 2: if you're talking about the offseason and going in what

255
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 2: we expected with the schedule, all of these tough games

256
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 2: in the AFC playing the NFC East, also bringing in

257
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 2: so many new pieces on the offensive side.

258
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 3: I'm glad they did.

259
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 2: I think that was the right decision to draft of

260
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:51,960
Speaker 2: Cyrus Torns in the second round, to draft Dalton Kincaid

261
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 2: in the first round, bring in Trent Sherfield Deanti Hardy.

262
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 2: Are you going to use a lot of twelve personnel

263
00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:00,679
Speaker 2: eleven personnel? How much is Sherfield going to player Hardy?

264
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 2: It's not surprising that it has even taken half of

265
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 2: the season for Josh Allen and Ken Dorsey, just the

266
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:09,800
Speaker 2: coaching staff and the players in general to kind of

267
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 2: feel themselves out and understand where this offense operates at

268
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:17,079
Speaker 2: its most optimal efficiency. And it probably is going to

269
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:20,240
Speaker 2: take a little bit more time to ultimately.

270
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:20,839
Speaker 3: Get to that point.

271
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:23,840
Speaker 2: So as long as it's happens during the regular season

272
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 2: and it is in place where this is the right

273
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 2: amount of role that we want for Hardy and for

274
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:34,200
Speaker 2: sure Field, and how much twelve personnel eleven personnel. Previously

275
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 2: the Bills had kind of the same pieces in place

276
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 2: and had the same philosophy, a lot of new faces,

277
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:42,560
Speaker 2: new philosophy in terms of personnel. That's why I think

278
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:46,080
Speaker 2: we're kind of in just watching the Bills are in

279
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:48,200
Speaker 2: this little bit of a lull because there's so many

280
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 2: new faces from the last couple of seasons.

281
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:53,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, and yeah, they are five and four, But as

282
00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 1: you said, I mean, there's they're playing at a high

283
00:13:57,720 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 1: level on both sides the ball, and most of what

284
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 1: they're doing in his execution base and or a mistake here,

285
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:04,840
Speaker 1: mistake there. I mean, if Josh doesn't make the bad

286
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:06,880
Speaker 1: throw in their own end and if Dalton kin k

287
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:09,000
Speaker 1: doesn't cough it up and they're not minus two on

288
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:11,320
Speaker 1: the turnover, I think that game is very different. But

289
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 1: my point would be there's no need to panic or

290
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:18,319
Speaker 1: to like sometimes we do on this show. We take

291
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 1: calls and let's not wholesale change everything that we're doing

292
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 1: right now, and nobody deserves to be thrown overboard Ken Dorsey,

293
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 1: Seahan McDermot or anybody Brandon Bean even we've had all

294
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 1: kinds of calls like that. I mean, all these guys

295
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 1: are on the on the hot seat all of a sudden. No, No,

296
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 1: they're back at it. They're gonna come out again this

297
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 1: week and they're gonna have a good plan. They're gonna

298
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:43,200
Speaker 1: and if they execute it. It's it's gonna be a win.

299
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 1: In fact, let's let's talk a little bit about what's

300
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:48,680
Speaker 1: going on today in practice. Bill's practice updates are presented

301
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:52,080
Speaker 1: by Lee com Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine. Christian

302
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 1: Benford and Micah Hyde will not practice today. Benford's hamstring

303
00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 1: and Micah Hyde had the next stinger. They're not going

304
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 1: to practice today. Linebacker Terrell Bernard is practicing, but he's

305
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:06,360
Speaker 1: on a limited basis. He's still in the concussion protocol.

306
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:10,120
Speaker 1: Jordan Poyer with his shin and Leonard Floyd, who was

307
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:13,920
Speaker 1: sick yesterday. Those two guys, Poyer and Floyd, they're back

308
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 1: on the practice field today, so they'll be back at

309
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:20,920
Speaker 1: it today. I was thinking about this historically. It used

310
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 1: to be back in the day when you know, in

311
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:27,280
Speaker 1: the leather helmet days when I played, Thursdays would be

312
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 1: your I'm sorry Wednesdays. You'd come out after a Tuesday

313
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:32,440
Speaker 1: day off, you come in fresh, you get the game plan.

314
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 1: You go out on Wednesday and you throw in the

315
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 1: run game and all of that stuff, and you get

316
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 1: the you know, the first and ten second and ten

317
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 1: second installs installs, and then Thursday was the throwing down,

318
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:46,360
Speaker 1: you come in on third down, he'd be third down,

319
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:49,640
Speaker 1: third and long, all of that stuff. Friday was a

320
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 1: situational with goal line shortyards. I don't know if it's

321
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:56,840
Speaker 1: like that anymore. There's no need to spend an entire

322
00:15:56,920 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 1: practice or day on the run game anymore, right, not know.

323
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:02,920
Speaker 1: But there is a lot of first and ten passing

324
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 1: that goes on these days, a lot of second and

325
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 1: long or second and short passing, that kind of stuff.

326
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 1: So I don't think it's broken up like it is.

327
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 1: But today being a Friday and being a Thursday practice, yeah,

328
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:17,000
Speaker 1: it's a big day. They got a lot of work

329
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:21,560
Speaker 1: to do. And I think, you know, with what's going

330
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:23,400
Speaker 1: on around them and all this, I think this is

331
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:25,560
Speaker 1: a team that's really resolute. I think they're gonna be

332
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:28,720
Speaker 1: I think this is when they know, particularly guys like

333
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:34,760
Speaker 1: Josh Diggs, even Dawson Knox and Mitch Morse, Hide Poyer,

334
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 1: all the old guys Leonard Floyd and Vaughan those guys

335
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:39,720
Speaker 1: are rather going, hey, guys, this we're good. Let's go,

336
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:41,840
Speaker 1: let's shift gears here and let's let's bear down. And

337
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:42,680
Speaker 1: I think that's kind.

338
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:43,160
Speaker 4: Of the attitude.

339
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:43,960
Speaker 3: And two things there.

340
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:46,520
Speaker 2: I think to get a little bit healthier, I need

341
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:50,040
Speaker 2: like to not have Benford and Hide practicing. Maybe a

342
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:52,920
Speaker 2: little bit concerning, but even in the concussion protocol for

343
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 2: Terrell Bernard to be limited, Poyer and Floyd to be

344
00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:59,120
Speaker 2: back as full participants, I think it's big for this

345
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:01,800
Speaker 2: defense that we've talked about a lot. Any Bills fan

346
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:06,159
Speaker 2: understands how decimated with injuries that unit has been, and

347
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:09,240
Speaker 2: like I mentioned, they have allowed the most explosive plays

348
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:12,199
Speaker 2: in the NFL, which is like the antithesis of what

349
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:14,920
Speaker 2: Sean McDermott has preached and what the Bills of executor.

350
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:17,359
Speaker 2: They've been one of the best teams at not allowing

351
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:20,280
Speaker 2: those explosive plays in the Sean McDermott era, when you

352
00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:23,359
Speaker 2: have a team that is a lot more healthy than

353
00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 2: what it is now. Having said that, I thought the

354
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 2: job that a lot of these stand ins and backups

355
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:32,679
Speaker 2: did in the second half against that Bengals team to

356
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 2: only allow three points. You suddenly throw Dorian Williams in there,

357
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:39,480
Speaker 2: the rookie, and it's him and Terrell Bernard maybe playing

358
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 2: on a position, and you don't have a completely healthy

359
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:45,159
Speaker 2: Von Miller. Mike Hyde goes out in the middle of

360
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:47,920
Speaker 2: the game and suddenly Taylor Rapp, who is really only

361
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:51,119
Speaker 2: signed to be your third safety, comes in to allow

362
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 2: that offense to only score three points at home, especially

363
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:57,800
Speaker 2: in a game where, like you mentioned, Cincinnati came in

364
00:17:57,840 --> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 2: on a heater, they scored twenty one points in the

365
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:01,320
Speaker 2: first half, look like they were going to score every

366
00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 2: time they touched the football. To then even get more

367
00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:07,480
Speaker 2: decimated with injuries in game and only allow three points

368
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:10,240
Speaker 2: in the second half. I thought that was a job

369
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 2: well done by Sean McDermott scheme wise, and some of

370
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 2: these backups who are starting to get more experience and

371
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:18,800
Speaker 2: more confidence and the game is slowing down for them.

372
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 2: I think that bodes well for this team that is

373
00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:24,160
Speaker 2: injured on defense as we get through this second half

374
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:25,880
Speaker 2: of the season. That if you're throwing a guy in there,

375
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 2: he's not deer in headlights. He's been on Sunday Night

376
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:30,920
Speaker 2: football in Cincinnati in the second half.

377
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:31,359
Speaker 3: Things like that.

378
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:34,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you get into this, excuse me, you get

379
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:35,960
Speaker 1: into this, and as we get deeper into this season

380
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:38,880
Speaker 1: and then closer to this Denver game, and you start

381
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:42,000
Speaker 1: to dissect what Denver has done. This certainly got off

382
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:44,720
Speaker 1: to a historically bad start, particularly on the defensive side

383
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:47,200
Speaker 1: of the ball. Two weeks ago, you know, they held

384
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:50,159
Speaker 1: the Chiefs to nine points, which is I think a

385
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 1: feather in their cap, no question about it. But I

386
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:56,439
Speaker 1: think one thing that they have struggled with is there

387
00:18:56,960 --> 00:19:01,520
Speaker 1: is pass protection. The Denver Browns have struggled mightily in it.

388
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:04,200
Speaker 1: They only threw the ball nineteen times against the Chiefs,

389
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:08,480
Speaker 1: and they gave up pressures on like forty percent of those,

390
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:12,159
Speaker 1: you know, on forty percent of those snaps that they

391
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:14,960
Speaker 1: were trying to throw the football on. So Russ Wilson

392
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:18,040
Speaker 1: has been under a lot of duress. If you go

393
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 1: in there and can stop their ability to run the

394
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:24,120
Speaker 1: football and force them to throw it, you're gonna get

395
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:31,840
Speaker 1: some sacks on Russ. Conversely, their defense also forced five turnovers.

396
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:34,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was a big reason that they won that.

397
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:36,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, that is an enormous reason. They want it, but

398
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 1: it counts and you got to give him some credit

399
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:41,080
Speaker 1: for that. And you can say what you want about

400
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:45,000
Speaker 1: Pat Mahomes. He has not been a turnover machine for

401
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 1: most of his career because he's made so many good

402
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:48,840
Speaker 1: you know, yea, but he's not afraid to try it.

403
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 1: And I think in those games, I think sometimes Pat

404
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:54,560
Speaker 1: Mahomes kind of says, listen, I'm gonna oh, I'm just

405
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:56,359
Speaker 1: gonna throw my way out of this. Let's go, and

406
00:19:57,240 --> 00:19:59,119
Speaker 1: he just at one time and this time against the

407
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:00,000
Speaker 1: Denver Brown because it didn't.

408
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:02,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think this is kind of a throwback game where,

409
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:06,200
Speaker 2: like you mentioned, it's stop the run, and we're in

410
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:08,600
Speaker 2: this modern day NFL where it's really stopped the pass

411
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:11,679
Speaker 2: first and then worry about the run later. But Russell

412
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 2: Wilson was the most sacked quarterback in football last season

413
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:18,600
Speaker 2: fifty five times. His sack rate last season was ten percent.

414
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:21,679
Speaker 2: It's at ten percent this year, which is very, very high.

415
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:22,280
Speaker 3: So you're right.

416
00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:24,879
Speaker 2: I mean, it's an old school type of game. The

417
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 2: Bills on first and second down can get the Broncos

418
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:29,240
Speaker 2: into second and eight, third and eight, which is usually

419
00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:31,399
Speaker 2: what you want to do. But when you're facing Patrick

420
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:33,640
Speaker 2: Mahomes or a Joe Burrow, a lot of those third

421
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:35,280
Speaker 2: and eights are going to be converted. I think against

422
00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:38,399
Speaker 2: Russell Wilson. If you let Sean McDermott with we know

423
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 2: this more aggressive scheme that has gotten home. The Bills

424
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:42,960
Speaker 2: are near the top of the league in sacks. They're

425
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 2: getting healthier along the defensive line.

426
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 3: With Von Miller.

427
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:48,240
Speaker 2: They don't have, you know, Gregory Rousseau out and Shack

428
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:52,280
Speaker 2: Lawson out at Oliver out. They're pretty healthy. Actually up front,

429
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 2: that's where you can see Russell Wilson turned the football

430
00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:59,000
Speaker 2: over or just get sacked, which significantly decreases the chance

431
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:00,919
Speaker 2: that a team is going to or any points on

432
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:01,400
Speaker 2: a drive.

433
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 3: So stop the run.

434
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:07,320
Speaker 2: Gavonte Williams and company and Jalil mclofflin, who were seeing

435
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:10,719
Speaker 2: there made a great catch in that Jets game on

436
00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:13,800
Speaker 2: a screen for a touchdown. Get this is truly a team.

437
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:16,240
Speaker 2: It sounds cliche. Get them into third and long and

438
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:17,720
Speaker 2: your defense is gonna have a big night.

439
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:21,439
Speaker 1: Steve Taster and Chris Trapasso here with you until three o'clock.

440
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:23,439
Speaker 1: We're gonna have sound from the players after they come

441
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 1: off the practice field today. Greg Cosel is coming up.

442
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:28,440
Speaker 1: Also just after the bottom of the hour, in about

443
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:30,639
Speaker 1: ten minutes, we're gonna have Stevie Johnson, who's legend of

444
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 1: the game, coming back from Monday Night Football. Plus your

445
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:36,960
Speaker 1: tweets and all that stuff. If you want, you can

446
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:38,679
Speaker 1: give us a call. Also at eight h three oh

447
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:40,680
Speaker 1: five fifty or one eight eight eight five fifty two

448
00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:45,480
Speaker 1: five fifty lots going on today on this Friday slash

449
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:50,159
Speaker 1: Thursday schedule. Also like to know, you know, what, what

450
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:53,200
Speaker 1: are you gonna? I want to how's this changed your weekend?

451
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:57,879
Speaker 1: I mean cause it almost gets Sunday off, you do,

452
00:21:57,920 --> 00:21:58,200
Speaker 1: you know.

453
00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:00,639
Speaker 2: And with it being Veterans Day, kind of get like

454
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:02,440
Speaker 2: Today's kind of a day off for a lot of people,

455
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:04,760
Speaker 2: and you get Sunday off, so it's like an extra

456
00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:08,399
Speaker 2: long weekend. But me being again born and raised in

457
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:10,480
Speaker 2: Western New York or not born here, but raised in

458
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:14,480
Speaker 2: Western New York in a Bills fan family, the day

459
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 2: the times where the Bills have the Monday night games,

460
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:21,160
Speaker 2: it seems like it takes forever. Yeah, we were used

461
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:23,920
Speaker 2: to them. We were used to the one o'clock games forever.

462
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:27,160
Speaker 2: It is kind of enjoyable being able to sit back

463
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:29,960
Speaker 2: and watch just an NFL Sunday without the Bills playing.

464
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:32,600
Speaker 2: But by the time you get to the four o'clocks

465
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:34,440
Speaker 2: and then Sunday Night football and then you got the

466
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 2: whole Monday, it definitely drags it out. Where you normally

467
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:41,080
Speaker 2: love a long weekend, but in the case of a

468
00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:44,119
Speaker 2: Bill's Monday night football game. It's like, man, it takes

469
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:46,159
Speaker 2: forever to get to Monday at eight o'clock, right, And.

470
00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 1: I've been whining for weeks, yeah about all these night

471
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:51,800
Speaker 1: games because we you know, we'll do the show and

472
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:53,439
Speaker 1: then you kind of hang on and you wait and

473
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 1: you go out and like, you know, I'll go, I'll

474
00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:57,679
Speaker 1: take a nap in the afternoon that you get up,

475
00:22:58,000 --> 00:22:59,480
Speaker 1: you come to the stadium or you get here in

476
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:02,560
Speaker 1: your around and okay, it's great and you do everything

477
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:05,240
Speaker 1: you can possibly do and o'clock and it's like you

478
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:07,359
Speaker 1: got two hours before the thing kicks off. It's like,

479
00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:10,200
Speaker 1: my gosh, and plus now time now as well, it's

480
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:13,359
Speaker 1: dark at five thirty, so it's dark for hours before

481
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:16,000
Speaker 1: the game kicks off. You feel like it's one am.

482
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:18,119
Speaker 1: And you're right. It is a long holiday weekend.

483
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:18,359
Speaker 5: You know.

484
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:20,840
Speaker 1: I heard a rumor My grandkids are all out of

485
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:23,159
Speaker 1: school today. They don't have to go to school, so

486
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:26,560
Speaker 1: the kids are all at home. Everybody's, everybody's routine is

487
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:29,679
Speaker 1: a little bit shaken up on a holiday weekend, particularly

488
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:33,120
Speaker 1: this one, because this isn't like, this isn't like what

489
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:35,400
Speaker 1: you would do, like family from out of town compan

490
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:36,879
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. It's not like Thanksgiving or

491
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:39,080
Speaker 1: Christmas or stuff like that where you got people coming in.

492
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:40,239
Speaker 1: It's a big fat you know all that.

493
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:42,160
Speaker 3: This is just long weekend.

494
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:44,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a long weekend waiting, like you have a

495
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:48,440
Speaker 1: staycation kind of thing, right, So it's a different animal.

496
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:51,960
Speaker 1: And for me, it's it is gonna be weird because

497
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:55,000
Speaker 1: I'm I got family. I do have family coming in,

498
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:58,200
Speaker 1: So not for the holiday. They're coming in for the game.

499
00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:01,200
Speaker 1: They don't care if they care less about me. They're

500
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:02,640
Speaker 1: staying for this game, and they're stay for the next

501
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:04,920
Speaker 1: game too, the Jet game as well. So it's they're

502
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:08,479
Speaker 1: gonna be around all day, all week. So yeah, the

503
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:10,840
Speaker 1: whole routine.

504
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 3: Gets thrown off.

505
00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:12,639
Speaker 1: It's thrown off.

506
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:14,680
Speaker 2: But what I will say, like what I mentioned earlier,

507
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:19,240
Speaker 2: I encourage Bills fans to watch as much NFL as

508
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:22,119
Speaker 2: you can on Sunday to get a better grasp of

509
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:25,680
Speaker 2: the standard set around the league for all.

510
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:26,400
Speaker 3: The other quarterbacks.

511
00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:28,959
Speaker 2: Of Course, the people know that Josh Allen is an

512
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:32,199
Speaker 2: elite quarterback top two or three in the league, but

513
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:35,919
Speaker 2: look around at just other teams defenses, their run games.

514
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:39,199
Speaker 2: The quarterbacks and just this is your prime opportunity with

515
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:41,159
Speaker 2: the Bills playing Monday night to sit and watch.

516
00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:42,399
Speaker 3: I will say about.

517
00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:44,760
Speaker 2: The game, it seems like, and this is a little early,

518
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:46,480
Speaker 2: the forecast is going to be.

519
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:50,160
Speaker 3: It's saying that it's going to be a pretty nice night.

520
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:53,679
Speaker 2: So I still think before it gets bitterly cold or

521
00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:56,800
Speaker 2: there's a blizzard like it was for that Bengals playoff game,

522
00:24:57,600 --> 00:24:59,920
Speaker 2: it's kind of nice to see the Bills and highmar

523
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,919
Speaker 2: Ark Stadium in prime time under the lights with some

524
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:03,440
Speaker 2: good weather.

525
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:06,200
Speaker 1: You know what I heard? And you talk about the quarterbacks,

526
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:09,800
Speaker 1: the standard quarterback play. Last night, Tyson Beagent and Bryce

527
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:13,240
Speaker 1: Young went at it. Bryce Young first overall pick, Tyson Beagent.

528
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:17,800
Speaker 1: Undrafted rookies two both of them are rookies all time.

529
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:20,200
Speaker 1: I just heard this a stat. I don't know it's

530
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:24,480
Speaker 1: this article. I was just reading or what, but there

531
00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:25,280
Speaker 1: it is, right there.

532
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:26,560
Speaker 3: Is second time it's happened, right.

533
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:29,119
Speaker 1: Second time it's ever happened. It's two rookies. One was

534
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:30,919
Speaker 1: undrafted and the others the first pick of the draft.

535
00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:32,399
Speaker 1: The undrafted guys are two and zero.

536
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:35,120
Speaker 3: Oh see that shows that the draft is a crap shoot.

537
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:36,240
Speaker 3: I dive into the draft.

538
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:37,720
Speaker 1: But there, wait a minute, now, that's not that's not

539
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:40,359
Speaker 1: all it shows. Because you know a guy was drafted

540
00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:43,280
Speaker 1: number one overall, is because the roster stinks around the

541
00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:46,320
Speaker 1: guy that's playing who was undrafted. They didn't need a

542
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:48,520
Speaker 1: quarterback and they got a pretty good roster around him.

543
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:51,480
Speaker 1: So and it is a proof that it's a team sport,

544
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:54,560
Speaker 1: no question about it. But last night, Tyson Beagent gets

545
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:56,760
Speaker 1: the best of the number one overall pick, Bryce Young.

546
00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:01,160
Speaker 1: And I went back and looked, and you're right. If

547
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:02,760
Speaker 1: Bill's fans want to give a little bit of a

548
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:05,880
Speaker 1: we're okay, go watch every other all the other quarterbacks

549
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:06,280
Speaker 1: in the league.

550
00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:06,680
Speaker 4: Exactly.

551
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:11,040
Speaker 1: Uh, certainly there's some great ones. Burrow and Mahomes and

552
00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:16,160
Speaker 1: and Herbert and Lawrence and all those guys. Man, oh man,

553
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:20,280
Speaker 1: you take a sigh of relief that you got this,

554
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:22,760
Speaker 1: You got the guy that you got all right, all right,

555
00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:25,120
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker, Christoph Prossey, We're gonna take a break. Come back.

556
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:27,440
Speaker 1: Stevie Johnson led you to the game coming up. This

557
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:29,800
Speaker 1: is Buffalo Bill's Radio, and this is One Bill's Live.

558
00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:51,360
Speaker 1: Welcome back to One Bill's Live. Steve Tasker, Chris Trapasso,

559
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:54,399
Speaker 1: We're gonna take a phone call from Stevie Johnson in

560
00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:58,359
Speaker 1: just about two seconds and we get him up this uh,

561
00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:01,440
Speaker 1: this game, this Monday night game. And we talk about

562
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:05,159
Speaker 1: it a lot. But in the Bills being four and

563
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:07,959
Speaker 1: oh in the building here, you can't really And it's

564
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:10,679
Speaker 1: funny because the legal do it. They're not gonna let

565
00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:12,520
Speaker 1: the Bills say they're undefeated at home because London was

566
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:12,960
Speaker 1: a home game.

567
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:15,840
Speaker 3: Oh true, So in the stadium though.

568
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:20,359
Speaker 1: In this stadium they're four and oh. And I'll say this,

569
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:25,680
Speaker 1: since this latest version of the Bills with Sean McDermott

570
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 1: and Brandon Bean and now Josh and Steph and Vonn,

571
00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:34,440
Speaker 1: this building is tough. It's a step above. It really

572
00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:36,360
Speaker 1: has become a step above. Have you do you get

573
00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:38,240
Speaker 1: a chance to go to other places and watch.

574
00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:41,159
Speaker 2: I don't, actually, but I will say this that my

575
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:44,360
Speaker 2: dad's been a season ticket holder since the stadium right

576
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:47,520
Speaker 2: over here opened in nineteen seventy three, and I still

577
00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:50,480
Speaker 2: go to every game with my dad. And I've noticed

578
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:54,480
Speaker 2: that in the Josh Allen era seems louder. I haven't

579
00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:56,919
Speaker 2: seen as many losses, of course, just seems like one

580
00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:59,600
Speaker 2: of the more difficult places to play in the entire NFL.

581
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:03,520
Speaker 2: I can't compare that to other stadiums, but even every

582
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:06,560
Speaker 2: week asking opponents, you kind of hear it in the

583
00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:11,720
Speaker 2: locker room that they mentioned that I think Bills that

584
00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:14,800
Speaker 2: that this home game, along there with Arrowhead High Mark Stadium,

585
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:17,439
Speaker 2: is one of the more difficult stadiums to play, and

586
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:20,399
Speaker 2: that certainly, Yeah, that's an advantage for this team absolutely

587
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:23,520
Speaker 2: every single week that they get, especially a primetime game.

588
00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:27,200
Speaker 1: I don't say this too, it's not it goes without saying,

589
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:29,000
Speaker 1: but you need to add it in. One of the

590
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:30,440
Speaker 1: reasons is a tough place to play is because the

591
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:33,879
Speaker 1: team's really hard to beat. Same thing with Arrowhead. Yeah,

592
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:36,520
Speaker 1: you'd hear it once in a while when they when

593
00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:38,840
Speaker 1: they stunk for a long time, but once they got

594
00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:41,200
Speaker 1: you know, when Marty Schottenheimer was there, they you know

595
00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:44,400
Speaker 1: started to turn around. Now of course with with Big

596
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:47,840
Speaker 1: Red over there and Mahomes there places off the chart.

597
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:50,320
Speaker 1: You don't hear it too much about Mile High Stadium

598
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:51,880
Speaker 1: used to be that was the hardest place there. Well,

599
00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:55,520
Speaker 1: they had John Lway and Mike Channan. That helps a

600
00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:56,840
Speaker 1: lot of it has to do with what they have

601
00:28:56,960 --> 00:29:00,160
Speaker 1: to cheer for no question, but more so than not,

602
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 1: this building has been been really rough to play.

603
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:08,040
Speaker 2: And what I would say on this too, And there's

604
00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:11,680
Speaker 2: been a lot of talk this season Josh Allen a

605
00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:14,320
Speaker 2: few weeks ago mentioning being low positive or he doesn't

606
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:16,560
Speaker 2: get too high or too low, and that people said, hey,

607
00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:19,040
Speaker 2: he should just play like himself. Comes out on Thursday

608
00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:21,400
Speaker 2: Night football plays what I thought was almost a flawless

609
00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:25,000
Speaker 2: performance outside of the tiped interception against the Buccaneers. Alan

610
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:28,200
Speaker 2: operated as surgically as I've seen him in the NFL.

611
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:31,240
Speaker 2: To be a quarterback like John, to have a quarterback

612
00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:34,960
Speaker 2: like Josh Allen as your guy, I think more than

613
00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:38,840
Speaker 2: any other quarterback maybe in the league. He feeds off

614
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:42,480
Speaker 2: the crowd that there are those quarterbacks that seem very stoic.

615
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:44,920
Speaker 2: They get to the sideline, it's almost like it doesn't

616
00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:47,240
Speaker 2: matter if they're home, away in London, wherever the case

617
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:50,720
Speaker 2: may be. Josh Allen and he certainly played his fair

618
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:54,160
Speaker 2: amount of great football games on the road, but being

619
00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:56,520
Speaker 2: at home, when he hears that crowd get pumped up

620
00:29:56,520 --> 00:29:58,800
Speaker 2: when he hurtles a player makes a great touchdown, I

621
00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:01,760
Speaker 2: think he and the entire offense and then the ripple

622
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:04,240
Speaker 2: effect of the entire team is significant.

623
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:08,320
Speaker 1: Yea. So well, let's ask Stevie Johnson, former Buffalo Bill. Stevie,

624
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:10,600
Speaker 1: thanks for coming on with us, appreciate you so much.

625
00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:13,440
Speaker 1: What do you think about this Monday night atmosphere and

626
00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:16,720
Speaker 1: the and the and High Mark Stadium and and your

627
00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:18,320
Speaker 1: experience is here and what it means.

628
00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:21,280
Speaker 6: Yeah, no problem, Thanks for thanks for having me on.

629
00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:24,160
Speaker 6: It's good to be on with you guys again. And

630
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:26,640
Speaker 6: you know, the overall experience that at High Market is

631
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:27,400
Speaker 6: going to be electric.

632
00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:27,720
Speaker 4: Fine.

633
00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:31,160
Speaker 6: You know from my experience it was it was already cool,

634
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:33,600
Speaker 6: but you know, coming back and being legend of the

635
00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:38,640
Speaker 6: game last year, it was something totally different. So for

636
00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:41,120
Speaker 6: from a fans perspective, you know, it's gonna be a

637
00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:43,280
Speaker 6: great time. It's gonna be a show. And you know,

638
00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:45,959
Speaker 6: from a player's perspective, I feel like we're gonna get

639
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:48,880
Speaker 6: to business tonight on Monday night and get back on

640
00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:52,280
Speaker 6: track to you know, making this big push.

641
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:55,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, Stevie, So from that, what do you think, just

642
00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:57,840
Speaker 2: as a former player on the offensive side of the

643
00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:01,520
Speaker 2: ball that we have seen the Bills over the last

644
00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:04,160
Speaker 2: month or so get off to some slow starts and

645
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:07,000
Speaker 2: then play up to the standard that we've come to

646
00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:09,720
Speaker 2: expect with this Bills team in the second half. What

647
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:12,120
Speaker 2: do you think is the one or maybe two keys

648
00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:14,719
Speaker 2: for the Bills to kind of hit the ground running early,

649
00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:17,360
Speaker 2: not only just on Monday Night against the Broncos, but

650
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:19,959
Speaker 2: for the remaining uh, you know, half of their regular

651
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:21,720
Speaker 2: season schedule and then into the playoffs.

652
00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:22,640
Speaker 7: Uh.

653
00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:24,920
Speaker 6: Well, good question. I feel like the team's been going

654
00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:29,160
Speaker 6: through phases, you know, trying to figure out offensive offensive pieces,

655
00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:32,160
Speaker 6: trying to figure out what type of playbook will work,

656
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:36,840
Speaker 6: how to how to take care and manage our players,

657
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:39,680
Speaker 6: you know, for the long run. And I think at

658
00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:43,520
Speaker 6: this point where we're woke, I would say, so, if

659
00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:45,680
Speaker 6: we just play our play our game, you know, play

660
00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:47,760
Speaker 6: who we know we are, you know, play how we

661
00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:51,680
Speaker 6: know we can play, utilize whatever playbook we need to,

662
00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:55,000
Speaker 6: we can still be dominant, you know. And and I

663
00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:56,720
Speaker 6: feel like it's a it's a wake up call, you know,

664
00:31:56,800 --> 00:31:59,120
Speaker 6: at this moment, at this point of the season, because

665
00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:01,280
Speaker 6: you know, we lost teams that we felt like we

666
00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:04,080
Speaker 6: should have won early and we've lost it, and we

667
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:06,480
Speaker 6: lost the teams that we know we'll see later on.

668
00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:09,440
Speaker 6: If we make this this this push, so you know,

669
00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:12,160
Speaker 6: we had a good spot now to be our sales

670
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:14,560
Speaker 6: and come out hungry and get it back started at home.

671
00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:16,600
Speaker 1: Yeah. This week's Legend of the Game is former Bills

679
00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:39,880
Speaker 1: O Stevie, You're right. I mean this team has got

680
00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:42,800
Speaker 1: a big engine under that. I always use that analogy,

681
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:45,840
Speaker 1: and sometimes it's hard for them to get it started.

682
00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:49,520
Speaker 1: And you know a lot of fans think have have

683
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:52,280
Speaker 1: put called into us and made the assertion that it

684
00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:54,840
Speaker 1: would be better. And I think fans would feel better

685
00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:58,520
Speaker 1: if they would just go faster, they would pick up

686
00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:01,760
Speaker 1: the pace, go no huddle, Yeah, everything you can think of.

687
00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:04,520
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts on the difference between go and

688
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:07,080
Speaker 1: no huddle at a fast pace or at least no

689
00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:09,120
Speaker 1: huddle and going up to the line of scrimmage and

690
00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:11,600
Speaker 1: then calling the play, even if you take the whole

691
00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:15,280
Speaker 1: play clock, go no huddle, so you get a longer

692
00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:17,760
Speaker 1: look at the defense and you can pick and choose

693
00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:19,920
Speaker 1: your play. What are your thoughts about what kind of

694
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:22,080
Speaker 1: some of this stuff that people seem to have the

695
00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:24,440
Speaker 1: idea that will make a you know, give the offense

696
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:24,920
Speaker 1: a spark.

697
00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:28,360
Speaker 6: Yeah, no, that's that's that's a good point, right, They're

698
00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:32,040
Speaker 6: a good analogy that you put together because I personally

699
00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:33,680
Speaker 6: I love it as a as a player. You know,

700
00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:36,080
Speaker 6: as a receiver, you go to the line and you

701
00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:39,440
Speaker 6: can kind of see one, two or three options of

702
00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:42,040
Speaker 6: what the movement of the defense is doing. And then

703
00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:44,360
Speaker 6: you know when you got to we already have elead quarterback.

704
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:48,760
Speaker 6: We have elite positions, skill positions everywhere. So I think

705
00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:51,960
Speaker 6: the roar of the crowd saying let's do this, let's

706
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:53,600
Speaker 6: try this, let's try it, because we know we have

707
00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:56,720
Speaker 6: all the pieces to do it. So I would say

708
00:33:56,760 --> 00:33:59,560
Speaker 6: this to combat that though I think we'll try it,

709
00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:02,680
Speaker 6: they probably doing it at practice. They probably getting prepare

710
00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:04,280
Speaker 6: for all of it. They hear us. You know, I

711
00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:07,760
Speaker 6: feel like they hear us, and we got the stars

712
00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:09,719
Speaker 6: to do it. You know, it's nothing holding us back.

713
00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:12,320
Speaker 6: You know, I think it's just a matter of time

714
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:15,239
Speaker 6: and utilizing that the right at the right time. You know,

715
00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:18,160
Speaker 6: right now we're still figuring it out. We're still figuring

716
00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:22,720
Speaker 6: pieces are pieces out everywhere, you know, dealing with things

717
00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:24,560
Speaker 6: that that doesn't have to do with, you know, the

718
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:28,120
Speaker 6: the play per se. I would say, like through injuries,

719
00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:30,160
Speaker 6: you know, trying to fit people in. You know, it's

720
00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:33,360
Speaker 6: a lot that we're going through, no excuses, but I

721
00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:35,399
Speaker 6: think we're able to do all the things that the

722
00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:37,759
Speaker 6: fans are requesting, and I think it'll show in.

723
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:41,120
Speaker 2: Time, right Stevie, you were always famous when you played

724
00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:43,920
Speaker 2: with the Bills for kind of being that freestyle player

725
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:46,880
Speaker 2: that when in a time in the league where wide

726
00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:49,680
Speaker 2: receivers had to run very specific routes on a certain

727
00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:52,840
Speaker 2: amount of steps and break towards the sideline eight steps after,

728
00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:56,040
Speaker 2: you were shaking guys of the line with basketball crossovers,

729
00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:59,719
Speaker 2: and famously with Ryan Fitzpatrick and Chan Gaily, it was like, hey,

730
00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:03,880
Speaker 2: just go and get open. Talk to the listeners about

731
00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:08,200
Speaker 2: how important it is for a quarterback that in Josh

732
00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:12,440
Speaker 2: Allen has become an elite quarterback unquestionably in the NFL.

733
00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:16,080
Speaker 2: Talk about how important it is for him to just

734
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:20,160
Speaker 2: play football. I know that sounds cliche, but just maybe

735
00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:22,680
Speaker 2: even lean on some of the backyard stuff that he

736
00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:27,880
Speaker 2: did with his brother back in California and at Wyoming

737
00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:30,160
Speaker 2: and early in his career that for as good as

738
00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:32,160
Speaker 2: Josh has been from the pocket this season, talk about

739
00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:34,600
Speaker 2: how important it is to have that extra element of

740
00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:36,960
Speaker 2: just having fun and playing football.

741
00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:40,319
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's very important. I think that's just getting back

742
00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:43,600
Speaker 6: to the basics and who we've seen him to be

743
00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:46,759
Speaker 6: as he's grown to who he is now. You know,

744
00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:49,719
Speaker 6: we've seen him be that rebel player, that backyard football player.

745
00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:52,640
Speaker 6: So we know within him. You know, it's just we

746
00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:54,640
Speaker 6: got to take a lot of other things into into

747
00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:56,960
Speaker 6: the account. You know, what else is going on in

748
00:35:57,080 --> 00:36:00,319
Speaker 6: his ear, like with you know, check down, throwing here

749
00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:03,080
Speaker 6: or protection. You know a lot of other things happen.

750
00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:06,000
Speaker 6: You know, so now, because you know, there was a

751
00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:09,600
Speaker 6: phase when he was doing really well and doing risky

752
00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:12,560
Speaker 6: things and and people were saying, hey, just go down

753
00:36:12,719 --> 00:36:14,400
Speaker 6: or don't run or don't take that. You know what

754
00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:16,640
Speaker 6: I'm saying. So it's always gonna be something, you know,

755
00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:20,479
Speaker 6: but the whole fact of getting back to the fun

756
00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:22,600
Speaker 6: and and going up there and playing football with your

757
00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:25,239
Speaker 6: boys is very important. And that's that's something that they

758
00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:28,920
Speaker 6: should listen to and should hear because as a as

759
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:31,680
Speaker 6: a star player, you're as good as your star is.

760
00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:34,359
Speaker 6: But then if you got another star, you just hey,

761
00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:36,319
Speaker 6: let him be a star too, And then that's that's

762
00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:39,120
Speaker 6: what what may fit so good all around the league.

763
00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:41,240
Speaker 6: He wasn't just trying to make the play for himself,

764
00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:43,440
Speaker 6: you know, he knew he had other star powering let

765
00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:45,520
Speaker 6: them do do their thing, you know, And that's what

766
00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:48,399
Speaker 6: you know, what I think we're getting from now when

767
00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:52,480
Speaker 6: we have cooked Kink Gabe. We got big. We got

768
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:55,600
Speaker 6: to feed our boys first, you know. But you know

769
00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:58,400
Speaker 6: it's all it's all time and then situation so you

770
00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:00,600
Speaker 6: know that that's where the team come in that and

771
00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:02,560
Speaker 6: now we got to talk about defense, you know, is

772
00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:05,200
Speaker 6: the situation with field positions. So we're going to do

773
00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:08,319
Speaker 6: so much, I would say, but you know, getting back

774
00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:10,920
Speaker 6: to the backyard football, I think they're there. You know.

775

776
00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:17,279
Speaker 6: this with about adjusting the offense, and our offense is

777
00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:19,560
Speaker 6: pretty much like a top ten, top five defense. Our

778
00:37:19,640 --> 00:37:21,640
Speaker 6: quarterback is top five in the league. I feel like,

844
00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:51,120
Speaker 1: down the first block punt that you had as a

845
00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:54,400
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill. It was week I believe, week eleven of

846
00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:57,479
Speaker 1: nineteen eight, Week twelve of nineteen eighty six. I got

847
00:40:57,520 --> 00:41:01,760
Speaker 1: picked up on week right before week eleven, I guess,

848
00:41:03,080 --> 00:41:07,799
Speaker 1: and played against the Pittsburgh Steelers in what was then

849
00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:11,040
Speaker 1: rich Stadium. Played him here in high Mark Stadium, Chuck

850
00:41:11,080 --> 00:41:13,200
Speaker 1: Nol and all those guys. Marvel Levy's first game as

851
00:41:13,239 --> 00:41:16,280
Speaker 1: head coach. We win. Then we go to New England.

852
00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:19,000
Speaker 1: So we go to New England, and during the week

853
00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:20,960
Speaker 1: leading up to it, and this is a true story,

854
00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:24,680
Speaker 1: Marv holds me out of practice after practice on Wednesday

855
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:26,279
Speaker 1: and says, I want to I want to try some

856
00:41:26,719 --> 00:41:28,879
Speaker 1: if you ever rushed punts. I go, now, I've never

857
00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:30,680
Speaker 1: done it. He says, here's what I want you to do,

858
00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:32,239
Speaker 1: and he walked me through. He goes, this is gonna

859
00:41:32,239 --> 00:41:34,759
Speaker 1: take It's gonna be seven steps off the side. You

860
00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:36,399
Speaker 1: come in and there. You're not gonna run at the punter.

861
00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:38,200
Speaker 1: You're gonna run at the block point. And well through

862
00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:40,760
Speaker 1: film study, we're gonna tell you where the block point

863
00:41:40,880 --> 00:41:42,719
Speaker 1: is and all this. He goes, you get your out,

864
00:41:42,760 --> 00:41:45,480
Speaker 1: your your leg, you know, seven steps off the edge,

865
00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:48,800
Speaker 1: come in and when you go in, go really low

866
00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:51,439
Speaker 1: and look right through your hands and take the bowl

867
00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:53,399
Speaker 1: off his foot, down low and you see he goes.

868
00:41:53,440 --> 00:41:55,120
Speaker 1: I know you see guys jumping up high to get

869
00:41:55,600 --> 00:41:58,720
Speaker 1: Don't do it that way. Go in really low and

870
00:41:58,719 --> 00:42:00,920
Speaker 1: and block this block the kick like that. So we

871
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:03,480
Speaker 1: run through it a couple of times. It's snowing. It's

872
00:42:03,480 --> 00:42:05,520
Speaker 1: snowing and its wet, and my best bud, one of

873
00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:07,399
Speaker 1: my best buds is John Kid, the punter, and he's

874
00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:09,279
Speaker 1: out there with us. He's hit it for me. So

875
00:42:09,440 --> 00:42:11,719
Speaker 1: a couple of times I'm trying to you know, the

876
00:42:11,760 --> 00:42:13,600
Speaker 1: head coach is out there doing this for me, and

877
00:42:13,640 --> 00:42:16,359
Speaker 1: I am busting a gut, trying to look good doing

878
00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:18,719
Speaker 1: it right cause I got picked up off waivers. They're

879
00:42:18,719 --> 00:42:20,719
Speaker 1: gonna cut me if I don't look good right, So

880
00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:23,720
Speaker 1: I'm going hard. I slip and slide and I slide

881
00:42:23,800 --> 00:42:26,080
Speaker 1: right into John's leg plant leg and a. I mean,

882
00:42:26,080 --> 00:42:27,960
Speaker 1: we're in the heat and he's looking at like my

883
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:30,719
Speaker 1: best bud. He's looking at me like you donkey, what

884
00:42:30,760 --> 00:42:33,680
Speaker 1: are you doing right? So we get through it on

885
00:42:33,719 --> 00:42:37,239
Speaker 1: this Wednesday afternoon, I think, okay. So I watch a

886
00:42:37,239 --> 00:42:41,880
Speaker 1: little film after that and we go to New England

887
00:42:42,120 --> 00:42:44,319
Speaker 1: and the old Sullivan Stadium, which by the way, was

888
00:42:44,320 --> 00:42:48,799
Speaker 1: atrocity the stadium itself and the surface. So we go

889
00:42:48,920 --> 00:42:53,200
Speaker 1: in there and it's just before halftime and we're not

890
00:42:53,320 --> 00:42:55,640
Speaker 1: we're not. We were, you know, we were two and

891
00:42:55,760 --> 00:42:58,160
Speaker 1: eight at the time, or two and two and nine

892
00:42:58,280 --> 00:43:01,520
Speaker 1: or one and nine and one in ten or something.

893
00:43:01,560 --> 00:43:03,719
Speaker 1: You know, we'd won like this week before, so it

894
00:43:03,719 --> 00:43:05,719
Speaker 1: was our second win of the year and we're in

895
00:43:05,719 --> 00:43:09,680
Speaker 1: New England and we're trailing, and they would force him

896
00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:13,080
Speaker 1: to punt just before halftime, and sure enough, I come

897
00:43:13,120 --> 00:43:14,640
Speaker 1: in off the left side and go and go for it.

898
00:43:14,680 --> 00:43:17,680
Speaker 1: So I come in off the right side and there

899
00:43:17,719 --> 00:43:19,400
Speaker 1: it is. There, it is, off the left side of

900
00:43:19,400 --> 00:43:21,680
Speaker 1: the defense, and bat it right back up into the

901
00:43:21,719 --> 00:43:24,200
Speaker 1: air and we're right in field goal range already, and

902
00:43:24,239 --> 00:43:27,480
Speaker 1: I come walking off the field. Right as I'm walking off, Marv,

903
00:43:27,680 --> 00:43:31,600
Speaker 1: I kind of link eyes with Marv, and sure enough

904
00:43:31,800 --> 00:43:34,520
Speaker 1: he gets and I was his boy from that moment on.

905
00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:37,000
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, I was gonna say so this play was

906
00:43:37,040 --> 00:43:41,399
Speaker 2: probably integral to you making a name for yourself in Buffalo, because,

907
00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:43,560
Speaker 2: like you mentioned, you didn't want to mess up.

908
00:43:43,600 --> 00:43:44,960
Speaker 3: You just got picked up off waivers.

909
00:43:45,239 --> 00:43:47,200
Speaker 2: Maybe if you don't block that punt, I mean, it

910
00:43:47,280 --> 00:43:49,520
Speaker 2: would have needed to be another play for you to make.

911
00:43:49,719 --> 00:43:52,239
Speaker 3: Ultimately had seven of them and never did it in

912
00:43:52,320 --> 00:43:53,800
Speaker 3: college Northwest.

913
00:43:53,440 --> 00:43:56,040
Speaker 1: Never never never rushed punch in Kyle. I returned him

914
00:43:56,280 --> 00:43:59,840
Speaker 1: return And interesting too, I Rich Camerrio is the punter.

915
00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:01,960
Speaker 1: Forgot about Rich camer Real being that I had some

916
00:44:02,040 --> 00:44:05,520
Speaker 1: success against Rich later on and a couple of years

917
00:44:05,600 --> 00:44:08,200
Speaker 1: later he was with Arizona at the time the punting

918
00:44:08,320 --> 00:44:12,120
Speaker 1: and didn't block it but tackle him, sit sack, stripped him,

919
00:44:12,160 --> 00:44:15,160
Speaker 1: you know kind of thing, and uh in the and

920
00:44:15,160 --> 00:44:16,960
Speaker 1: that was a game where I had my first touchdown

921
00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:18,920
Speaker 1: against him. But Rich camer Ree, I'd forgotten he was

922
00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:23,200
Speaker 1: the punter for that kick. So yeah, that was that

923
00:44:23,360 --> 00:44:29,080
Speaker 1: moment solidified at least Marv's belief and you off like

924
00:44:29,280 --> 00:44:31,480
Speaker 1: that if he told me to do something, I was

925
00:44:31,520 --> 00:44:33,360
Speaker 1: going to try and get it done. And do it

926
00:44:33,440 --> 00:44:36,040
Speaker 1: right and I and the next day I remember too,

927
00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:38,200
Speaker 1: on the Monday after the game, I don't I don't

928
00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:41,719
Speaker 1: think we won the game. He brought it up in

929
00:44:41,880 --> 00:44:44,600
Speaker 1: team meeting and said, listen, we he'd never done this before.

930
00:44:44,800 --> 00:44:46,239
Speaker 1: We coached him, and here it is right here. It

931
00:44:46,239 --> 00:44:49,919
Speaker 1: gave us a chance, and it did so. I think

932
00:44:49,960 --> 00:44:52,040
Speaker 1: that as much as anything, was like, Okay, I'm gonna

933
00:44:52,080 --> 00:44:54,120
Speaker 1: give this kid, you know, a longer leash.

934
00:44:54,320 --> 00:44:56,520
Speaker 2: And I think was so interesting about that is that

935
00:44:56,560 --> 00:44:59,360
Speaker 2: they picked you up off waivers and they Marv Levy

936
00:44:59,400 --> 00:45:03,600
Speaker 2: had the intuition to say, this guy at this size,

937
00:45:03,600 --> 00:45:07,400
Speaker 2: with this athleticism is probably the perfect guy to be

938
00:45:08,000 --> 00:45:10,279
Speaker 2: rushing punts for you to ultimately block seven of them

939
00:45:10,280 --> 00:45:14,080
Speaker 2: in your career. You were coachable and you were again

940
00:45:14,160 --> 00:45:16,279
Speaker 2: the right type of athlete at the right size to

941
00:45:16,360 --> 00:45:17,040
Speaker 2: be really good.

942
00:45:17,239 --> 00:45:18,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, Marv special.

943
00:45:18,600 --> 00:45:20,879
Speaker 1: Marv had told his staff. He told me this year's later,

944
00:45:20,920 --> 00:45:22,719
Speaker 1: he told the staff. On Monday when he took over

945
00:45:22,760 --> 00:45:25,960
Speaker 1: for Hank Bulla. He walked in and it was Hank's

946
00:45:26,000 --> 00:45:27,920
Speaker 1: staff and he said, listen, guys, we're kind of our

947
00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:29,759
Speaker 1: rosters said, We're not going to get any better on offense.

948
00:45:29,800 --> 00:45:32,120
Speaker 1: We're not gonna get much better on defense, but we

949
00:45:32,160 --> 00:45:35,920
Speaker 1: can get better right away on special teams. One reason

950
00:45:36,160 --> 00:45:39,640
Speaker 1: was Hank Buller was really old school. He had no

951
00:45:40,080 --> 00:45:43,680
Speaker 1: special teams coordinator, no special teams coach. I mean, Eli

952
00:45:43,719 --> 00:45:48,919
Speaker 1: Pitts did the punt team. Somebody else did them today.

953
00:45:49,200 --> 00:45:53,120
Speaker 1: You know, each each position coach had a different aspect

954
00:45:53,160 --> 00:45:57,919
Speaker 1: of the team special teams. And you know, Marv said, listen,

955
00:45:57,960 --> 00:46:00,839
Speaker 1: we're not We're not going to do that anymore. So

956
00:46:00,920 --> 00:46:02,880
Speaker 1: he started to maximize the roster and they pulled me

957
00:46:02,920 --> 00:46:06,440
Speaker 1: in off waivers later that week. The guy who brought

958
00:46:06,480 --> 00:46:09,960
Speaker 1: my name to Marv's attention on the waiver wire was

959
00:46:10,040 --> 00:46:12,920
Speaker 1: a guy named Joe Farrah Gelly, who was the offensive

960
00:46:12,960 --> 00:46:16,720
Speaker 1: coordinator for the Houston Oilers my rookie year the year before.

961
00:46:17,400 --> 00:46:21,520
Speaker 1: He went on. After that, when Marv reassembled his staff

962
00:46:21,520 --> 00:46:23,560
Speaker 1: and he got his own guys in and that staff

963
00:46:23,560 --> 00:46:26,359
Speaker 1: of Hank bullets was gone, Joe fair Gelly went back

964
00:46:26,400 --> 00:46:28,360
Speaker 1: to the Canadian Football League and won two Great Cups

965
00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:29,160
Speaker 1: as a head coach.

966
00:46:29,640 --> 00:46:31,720
Speaker 2: He can hang his head on winning those Great Cups

967
00:46:31,719 --> 00:46:33,920
Speaker 2: and hey.

968
00:46:32,960 --> 00:46:36,000
Speaker 1: Putting a finger on my name on Yeah, Joe fair Gelly,

969
00:46:36,040 --> 00:46:38,799
Speaker 1: sweetheart of a guy. And he's the guy that took

970
00:46:38,840 --> 00:46:41,600
Speaker 1: my name to Marv. And you always think you always

971
00:46:41,640 --> 00:46:44,399
Speaker 1: think it. You know, at some point you're like, Marv's going, Wow,

972
00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:46,839
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker's available. This is awesome, man. Well yeah, we'll

973
00:46:46,840 --> 00:46:48,520
Speaker 1: get him in. Marv told me because I didn't know

974
00:46:48,560 --> 00:46:50,719
Speaker 1: who you were, because I just said, hey, pick him up.

975
00:46:50,840 --> 00:46:54,799
Speaker 2: Hey, this is your story, and that specific story to

976
00:46:55,000 --> 00:46:58,920
Speaker 2: catapult your your Wall of Fame career is perfect for

977
00:46:59,040 --> 00:47:01,720
Speaker 2: me as a draft guy. I think so many times

978
00:47:02,480 --> 00:47:06,360
Speaker 2: players just needed an opportunity that that. In today's NFL,

979
00:47:06,920 --> 00:47:10,759
Speaker 2: so many undrafted guys, six seventh rounders, they don't play

980
00:47:10,880 --> 00:47:13,400
Speaker 2: very well in that first landing spot, and it's a

981
00:47:13,440 --> 00:47:15,640
Speaker 2: hey they're a sixth rounder. They can't play, They get

982
00:47:15,680 --> 00:47:17,799
Speaker 2: picked up off waivers, they block upon and they become

983
00:47:17,840 --> 00:47:20,080
Speaker 2: a Hall of Famer with that second team. Steve is

984
00:47:20,080 --> 00:47:22,840
Speaker 2: the perfect example, and that story is a prime example.

985
00:47:22,920 --> 00:47:26,080
Speaker 2: Sometimes it's just all about the opportunity and being able

986
00:47:26,080 --> 00:47:28,120
Speaker 2: to get one, even if you're not a marquee draft

987
00:47:28,120 --> 00:47:30,640
Speaker 2: prospect or a big ticket item in free agency.

988
00:47:30,719 --> 00:47:33,120
Speaker 1: Well, it's like we just said, you know, and before

989
00:47:33,160 --> 00:47:35,919
Speaker 1: the last segment ended that you know this the game

990
00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:42,280
Speaker 1: last night, you know Tyson Bagent undrafted Bryce Bryce Young

991
00:47:42,320 --> 00:47:43,960
Speaker 1: in a game and one of the key seasons. Who'd

992
00:47:43,960 --> 00:47:48,520
Speaker 1: have thought, Yeah, opportunity is the key and being ready

993
00:47:48,560 --> 00:47:49,960
Speaker 1: for it when it happens. You kind of spend your

994
00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:51,960
Speaker 1: life preparing for something that may not happen. I did

995
00:47:51,960 --> 00:47:56,360
Speaker 1: the same thing in my broadcast career for CBS. You

996
00:47:56,360 --> 00:47:58,719
Speaker 1: always prepare one hundred percent of the stuff, so you know,

997
00:47:58,760 --> 00:48:00,480
Speaker 1: but then when the game starts taking you don't have

998
00:48:00,520 --> 00:48:02,279
Speaker 1: to use any of that. But when the game goes

999
00:48:02,280 --> 00:48:04,319
Speaker 1: sixty three to nothing, then you have to you dig

1000
00:48:04,360 --> 00:48:05,839
Speaker 1: all that out and you have to start talking about

1001
00:48:05,880 --> 00:48:08,960
Speaker 1: everything but the game. It's kind of the way it was.

1002
00:48:09,080 --> 00:48:10,920
Speaker 1: That's kind of way it is. For an opportunity. You

1003
00:48:11,239 --> 00:48:13,160
Speaker 1: spend your life preparing and then the lights go out

1004
00:48:13,160 --> 00:48:14,480
Speaker 1: at the super Bowl and you're the only guy with

1005
00:48:14,520 --> 00:48:17,520
Speaker 1: a live MinC right, So yeah, that's the way it goes.

1006
00:48:17,640 --> 00:48:20,080
Speaker 2: One thing, So that punter might still be having Steve

1007
00:48:20,120 --> 00:48:21,440
Speaker 2: Tasker nightmares.

1008
00:48:21,200 --> 00:48:24,400
Speaker 1: I doubt I doubt that he even gives me a

1009
00:48:24,440 --> 00:48:27,279
Speaker 1: second thought at this point. I'm sure Rich was off

1010
00:48:27,280 --> 00:48:29,640
Speaker 1: to bigger and better things. That's good, well, Jamie, thanks

1011
00:48:29,640 --> 00:48:31,839
Speaker 1: for your question. I appreciate it. We'll be back with

1012
00:48:31,920 --> 00:48:33,480
Speaker 1: more after this the top of the hour, Greg co

1013

00:49:25,239 --> 00:49:31,239
Speaker 1: the One Bills Live presented by Kalia Health. Welcome back

1017
00:49:31,239 --> 00:49:34,000
Speaker 1: to the show, Steve Tasker, Chris Trapasso here where we

1018
00:49:34,120 --> 00:49:37,960
Speaker 1: are pleased now to be joined by NFL Films Executive

1019
00:49:37,960 --> 00:49:41,000
Speaker 1: producer Greg Cosel. Greg Cosel's appears on the shows presented

1020
00:49:41,040 --> 00:49:45,120
Speaker 1: by Scott Lonyard, an official commercial site work partner of

1021
00:49:45,160 --> 00:49:48,439
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. Greg, thanks for coming on once again.

1022
00:49:48,480 --> 00:49:50,720
Speaker 1: It's good to see you. There has been no joy

1023
00:49:50,840 --> 00:49:54,359
Speaker 1: in Mudville this week. The Bills hanging eighteen points on

1024
00:49:54,400 --> 00:49:58,960
Speaker 1: the on the Bengals. But you know, the Bengals are

1025
00:49:59,000 --> 00:50:02,080
Speaker 1: on a heater and they're a handful for anybody to handle.

1026
00:50:02,120 --> 00:50:03,880
Speaker 1: Right now. The Bills took them to the sixth to

1027
00:50:04,160 --> 00:50:06,680
Speaker 1: you know, to a six point loss and turned it

1028
00:50:06,719 --> 00:50:10,200
Speaker 1: over minus two on the turnover rates charts as well,

1029
00:50:10,239 --> 00:50:13,799
Speaker 1: and actually turned out probably a little better than maybe

1030
00:50:13,800 --> 00:50:14,759
Speaker 1: the Bills deserved.

1031
00:50:16,840 --> 00:50:20,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, no, I mean, clearly, you know it always it's

1032
00:50:20,520 --> 00:50:23,600
Speaker 5: always interesting when you're not playing well. Overall, it's funny

1033
00:50:23,600 --> 00:50:26,360
Speaker 5: how all of a sudden games seem to get away

1034
00:50:26,400 --> 00:50:29,160
Speaker 5: from the way you want them to start. You know, obviously,

1035
00:50:29,239 --> 00:50:31,680
Speaker 5: the Bengals scored on their first two possessions, and you're

1036
00:50:31,680 --> 00:50:33,840
Speaker 5: trying to get into some kind of rhythm and flow

1037
00:50:34,040 --> 00:50:36,120
Speaker 5: and feel good about yourself because you know you're not

1038
00:50:36,120 --> 00:50:38,160
Speaker 5: playing great, and all of a sudden you look up

1039
00:50:38,160 --> 00:50:41,000
Speaker 5: and it's, what, fourteen nothing? And you know when games

1040
00:50:41,000 --> 00:50:43,359
Speaker 5: are like that, Steve, You've been through this, I'm sure,

1041
00:50:43,360 --> 00:50:45,640
Speaker 5: And all of a sudden, you know, you go through

1042
00:50:45,640 --> 00:50:48,000
Speaker 5: a whole week of practice, you're feeling good about your

1043
00:50:48,200 --> 00:50:50,520
Speaker 5: your plan and your approach, and then all of a sudden,

1044
00:50:50,520 --> 00:50:52,440
Speaker 5: the game starts and you're down fourteen nothing, And it

1045
00:50:52,600 --> 00:50:55,200
Speaker 5: just you know, no matter what people say, even if

1046
00:50:55,200 --> 00:50:58,279
Speaker 5: it's early in the game, still first quarter, it just

1047
00:50:58,400 --> 00:51:00,839
Speaker 5: changes the whole field of the game, right, it's not the.

1048
00:51:00,719 --> 00:51:04,439
Speaker 1: Same, that's right. And as you get as this game

1049
00:51:04,520 --> 00:51:06,600
Speaker 1: took off, I mean, it really got hard for them

1050
00:51:06,640 --> 00:51:08,160
Speaker 1: to get off to any kind of a good start

1051
00:51:08,200 --> 00:51:13,760
Speaker 1: when you know they went down and the second series,

1052
00:51:13,880 --> 00:51:16,480
Speaker 1: Josh comes out on the first play and throws the interception.

1053
00:51:16,560 --> 00:51:18,640
Speaker 1: All of a sudden, you're off the field again. You

1054
00:51:18,640 --> 00:51:21,640
Speaker 1: don't see the football again after your first drive until

1055
00:51:21,680 --> 00:51:24,120
Speaker 1: eight and a half minutes or eight minute, less than

1056
00:51:24,160 --> 00:51:27,000
Speaker 1: nine minutes to go in the second quarter. So you've

1057
00:51:27,040 --> 00:51:30,120
Speaker 1: really squandered the entire first half.

1058
00:51:30,960 --> 00:51:34,719
Speaker 5: Yeah, no, that's true. You know it's I mean, as

1059
00:51:34,760 --> 00:51:37,279
Speaker 5: you know, offensively, this team was really well. They've been

1060
00:51:37,320 --> 00:51:40,480
Speaker 5: good on defense the last number of years, clearly, and

1061
00:51:40,520 --> 00:51:43,400
Speaker 5: the numbers suggest that. I always felt like over the

1062
00:51:43,440 --> 00:51:46,520
Speaker 5: last three forty years they were really an offensive team.

1063
00:51:46,560 --> 00:51:48,640
Speaker 5: You know that they could put up thirty. I don't

1064
00:51:48,640 --> 00:51:50,480
Speaker 5: want to say with no problem. I'm not one of

1065
00:51:50,520 --> 00:51:52,799
Speaker 5: those people that believes in the NFL anything happens, you know,

1066
00:51:53,040 --> 00:51:55,640
Speaker 5: easily or at will, as some people talk. But this

1067
00:51:55,760 --> 00:51:58,160
Speaker 5: was a team you felt almost every week could put

1068
00:51:58,239 --> 00:52:01,520
Speaker 5: up thirty, could put up more, and they made big

1069
00:52:01,560 --> 00:52:04,799
Speaker 5: plays in the pass game. And clearly that's one thing,

1070
00:52:05,320 --> 00:52:07,600
Speaker 5: certainly over the last five weeks, right, I don't think

1071
00:52:07,640 --> 00:52:09,600
Speaker 5: they've scored more than twenty five points in any of

1072
00:52:09,640 --> 00:52:12,279
Speaker 5: these games the last five weeks. You just have not

1073
00:52:12,440 --> 00:52:15,439
Speaker 5: really seen big explosive plays in the pass game. Now

1074
00:52:15,680 --> 00:52:19,560
Speaker 5: that's down big time in the league overall explosives in

1075
00:52:19,600 --> 00:52:22,440
Speaker 5: the pass game, but the Bills were so based on that,

1076
00:52:22,560 --> 00:52:24,719
Speaker 5: I thought, anyway, just and then you guys know, I

1077
00:52:24,800 --> 00:52:27,840
Speaker 5: watched every snap. I've seen every snap for years and

1078
00:52:27,920 --> 00:52:30,480
Speaker 5: years and years. You know, that's something you always sort

1079
00:52:30,520 --> 00:52:33,000
Speaker 5: of took for granted that there would be big plays

1080
00:52:33,000 --> 00:52:35,840
Speaker 5: in the passing game, and that's not really happening right now.

1081
00:52:36,239 --> 00:52:36,560
Speaker 3: Greg.

1082
00:52:36,680 --> 00:52:38,879
Speaker 2: In watching the Bills this season, there was so much

1083
00:52:38,920 --> 00:52:43,480
Speaker 2: talk before the regular season started about twelve personnel. Obviously,

1084
00:52:43,600 --> 00:52:46,520
Speaker 2: Dawson Knox's injury kind of puts that on the shelf

1085
00:52:46,520 --> 00:52:49,360
Speaker 2: for a little bit, and early in the season Knox

1086
00:52:49,440 --> 00:52:53,040
Speaker 2: wasn't really contributing in a big way. Kincaid, the rookie

1087
00:52:53,120 --> 00:52:57,120
Speaker 2: tight end, was making some plays. As Knox has gone

1088
00:52:57,160 --> 00:53:00,839
Speaker 2: out and the Bills offense hasn't really been humming at

1089
00:53:00,840 --> 00:53:04,120
Speaker 2: that normal efficiency. They've been in a lot more eleven

1090
00:53:04,200 --> 00:53:06,560
Speaker 2: personnel with Kincada the only turned out on the field.

1091
00:53:07,120 --> 00:53:10,239
Speaker 2: Moving forward and maybe after next week when Knox should

1092
00:53:10,280 --> 00:53:13,400
Speaker 2: be back from injury, and what you've seen, what like,

1093
00:53:13,760 --> 00:53:15,200
Speaker 2: what do you think the Bills are?

1094
00:53:15,239 --> 00:53:15,319
Speaker 4: Like?

1095
00:53:15,360 --> 00:53:17,480
Speaker 2: How are they at their best? Is it in twelve personnel?

1096
00:53:17,600 --> 00:53:20,000
Speaker 2: Is it in eleven? Is it up tempo? Is it

1097
00:53:20,120 --> 00:53:22,520
Speaker 2: huddling to give Josh Allen more time to kind of

1098
00:53:23,000 --> 00:53:25,839
Speaker 2: diagnose before the snap? What have you seen on film

1099
00:53:25,840 --> 00:53:28,319
Speaker 2: that seems to be the best course of action for

1100
00:53:28,360 --> 00:53:31,960
Speaker 2: this Bill's offense philosophically and personnel wise moving forward?

1101
00:53:33,320 --> 00:53:35,239
Speaker 5: Boy, Chris, you just threw a lot out there. I

1102
00:53:35,239 --> 00:53:36,680
Speaker 5: feel like I have to write a paper in a

1103
00:53:36,680 --> 00:53:38,719
Speaker 5: college course now and it's due.

1104
00:53:39,040 --> 00:53:42,520
Speaker 3: Is a lot there, Yeah, I guess what I mean

1105
00:53:42,600 --> 00:53:43,480
Speaker 3: is what do you think?

1106
00:53:43,680 --> 00:53:45,960
Speaker 2: What do you think is it eleven personnel or twelve

1107
00:53:46,040 --> 00:53:47,719
Speaker 2: personnel that the Bills should lead on?

1108
00:53:47,840 --> 00:53:50,920
Speaker 5: Most beyond a personnel issue, let's put it that way, okay.

1109
00:53:51,800 --> 00:53:56,680
Speaker 5: I think that you can be successful both ways. I mean, clearly,

1110
00:53:56,800 --> 00:53:59,960
Speaker 5: both Knox and Kincaid are athletic enough where they can

1111
00:54:00,120 --> 00:54:03,040
Speaker 5: detached from the formation, so you can be multiple with

1112
00:54:03,120 --> 00:54:06,000
Speaker 5: your formation looks out of twelve if you choose to be,

1113
00:54:06,080 --> 00:54:08,480
Speaker 5: If that's the way you want to play. Much of

1114
00:54:08,520 --> 00:54:12,280
Speaker 5: that comes down, I think, to how an opponent's defense,

1115
00:54:12,320 --> 00:54:14,799
Speaker 5: how you feel they're going to play you, or as

1116
00:54:14,840 --> 00:54:17,040
Speaker 5: you start and go through your first or second series,

1117
00:54:17,120 --> 00:54:19,040
Speaker 5: are they going to play you in base or are

1118
00:54:19,040 --> 00:54:21,440
Speaker 5: they going to play you in Nickel. That's something you

1119
00:54:21,480 --> 00:54:24,319
Speaker 5: have to see if you go with twelve. Because both

1120
00:54:24,400 --> 00:54:30,440
Speaker 5: receivers and certainly Kincaid are athletic players. Eleven personnel is

1121
00:54:30,440 --> 00:54:33,000
Speaker 5: a little different. I mean, if we're trying to you know,

1122
00:54:33,840 --> 00:54:35,880
Speaker 5: we were joking around, you know, I was trying to

1123
00:54:35,920 --> 00:54:38,960
Speaker 5: say that, Hey, I want to be nice, but you know,

1124
00:54:39,280 --> 00:54:41,759
Speaker 5: I think that if you really are being honest, and

1125
00:54:41,800 --> 00:54:44,759
Speaker 5: like I said, I watched the Bills. Once you get

1126
00:54:44,760 --> 00:54:48,120
Speaker 5: beyond Stefan Diggs, who's a very very good receiver, but

1127
00:54:48,239 --> 00:54:52,520
Speaker 5: not a true vertical dimension, they don't really have a

1128
00:54:52,760 --> 00:54:56,440
Speaker 5: vertical dimension in the past game. And at some point

1129
00:54:56,520 --> 00:54:59,600
Speaker 5: what that means is you've got to scheme and design

1130
00:55:00,080 --> 00:55:05,480
Speaker 5: route concepts that attack the field at all three levels. Again,

1131
00:55:05,520 --> 00:55:08,400
Speaker 5: I think you don't see a lot of that on tape,

1132
00:55:08,680 --> 00:55:11,080
Speaker 5: you know, and that's something I think they need to do.

1133
00:55:11,120 --> 00:55:13,520
Speaker 5: I feel like when I watch the Bills now that

1134
00:55:13,560 --> 00:55:16,400
Speaker 5: their offense is condensed and you know, I'm not in

1135
00:55:16,440 --> 00:55:19,760
Speaker 5: the meetings, It's no knock on anybody in the building.

1136
00:55:19,760 --> 00:55:22,400
Speaker 5: I'm not there. I'm just telling you what the film shows.

1137
00:55:22,560 --> 00:55:24,440
Speaker 5: It's a condensed looking offense.

1138
00:55:25,000 --> 00:55:28,000
Speaker 1: And when you say that, you know, no question when

1139
00:55:28,000 --> 00:55:30,759
Speaker 1: you're throwing the ball to, you know, the rookie tight

1140
00:55:30,840 --> 00:55:33,480
Speaker 1: end Kincaid as much as they are. And it's been

1141
00:55:33,560 --> 00:55:38,000
Speaker 1: interesting because in the last couple of games, Josh is

1142
00:55:38,080 --> 00:55:41,799
Speaker 1: really efficient. I mean, he's leading the league in completion percentages.

1143
00:55:42,200 --> 00:55:45,040
Speaker 1: But you're right, the only big plays they've gotten, the

1144
00:55:45,040 --> 00:55:46,960
Speaker 1: ones that think jump off the page, are the ones

1145
00:55:47,000 --> 00:55:49,480
Speaker 1: where Steph Diggs breaks a tackle, goes a distance, you know,

1146
00:55:50,000 --> 00:55:51,640
Speaker 1: in the Miami game where he does it for fifty

1147
00:55:51,640 --> 00:55:55,720
Speaker 1: five yards. This last week against Cincinnati when he spins out.

1148
00:55:55,600 --> 00:55:57,520
Speaker 5: First series where he caught in went with thirty four

1149
00:55:57,640 --> 00:55:58,680
Speaker 5: or whatever exactly.

1150
00:55:58,719 --> 00:56:02,360
Speaker 1: That's kind of what they've been reliant on for big plays,

1151
00:56:02,520 --> 00:56:06,520
Speaker 1: and that is unusual for this offense. But and obviously,

1152
00:56:06,760 --> 00:56:09,319
Speaker 1: since we're talking about it's probably not worth the trade off.

1153
00:56:09,360 --> 00:56:12,719
Speaker 1: Do you go with a seventy percent completion percentage or

1154
00:56:12,760 --> 00:56:14,800
Speaker 1: do you go with the occasional big play. Which one's

1155
00:56:14,840 --> 00:56:15,480
Speaker 1: more important?

1156
00:56:16,400 --> 00:56:19,680
Speaker 5: Well, I mean, there's obviously a balance in a trade off, right,

1157
00:56:19,760 --> 00:56:22,040
Speaker 5: But what I will say is this, if if your

1158
00:56:22,080 --> 00:56:25,920
Speaker 5: offense is going to be let's use the word efficient,

1159
00:56:25,960 --> 00:56:28,920
Speaker 5: if you're going to throw a lot of short passes, okay,

1160
00:56:29,000 --> 00:56:32,919
Speaker 5: and and and then then I think you're saying that, hey,

1161
00:56:33,120 --> 00:56:35,920
Speaker 5: for us to score a touchdown, we're gonna need more plays.

1162
00:56:36,320 --> 00:56:39,200
Speaker 5: So I think if you need more plays, then you

1163
00:56:39,320 --> 00:56:41,759
Speaker 5: need more balance. Okay, and by balance, I don't mean

1164
00:56:41,800 --> 00:56:44,040
Speaker 5: you have to have five runs in five passes, but

1165
00:56:44,120 --> 00:56:47,399
Speaker 5: I think the run game would need to become more

1166
00:56:47,440 --> 00:56:49,720
Speaker 5: of a factor. If you're going to take the approach

1167
00:56:49,800 --> 00:56:52,440
Speaker 5: that hey, we're gonna throw the ball short, we're not

1168
00:56:52,480 --> 00:56:55,480
Speaker 5: really going to attack at the deeper levels, then I

1169
00:56:55,520 --> 00:56:58,520
Speaker 5: think your offense needs the run game to be more

1170
00:56:58,560 --> 00:57:00,759
Speaker 5: of a factor. And I know in the year they

1171
00:57:00,800 --> 00:57:03,600
Speaker 5: really worked on that and they had some success, but

1172
00:57:03,680 --> 00:57:06,200
Speaker 5: they've in some ways settled into that mode of the

1173
00:57:06,239 --> 00:57:08,920
Speaker 5: last couple of years where the run game has not

1174
00:57:08,960 --> 00:57:11,680
Speaker 5: been exactly what they wanted to be. And then it

1175
00:57:11,719 --> 00:57:16,400
Speaker 5: becomes hard because you eventually get to second and nine

1176
00:57:16,480 --> 00:57:19,360
Speaker 5: or third and nine, and even though they're very good

1177
00:57:19,400 --> 00:57:21,920
Speaker 5: on third see that's that's kind of the weird thing

1178
00:57:22,160 --> 00:57:24,880
Speaker 5: they've been. You know, they're still really good on third down.

1179
00:57:24,920 --> 00:57:27,320
Speaker 5: I think they're tied with the Eagles number one a

1180
00:57:27,400 --> 00:57:30,600
Speaker 5: top of the league at fifty percent, but they're just

1181
00:57:30,800 --> 00:57:34,040
Speaker 5: not you know, they're not scoring points and that's not

1182
00:57:34,120 --> 00:57:36,560
Speaker 5: a profound statement, that's just that what the numbers tell you.

1183
00:57:36,800 --> 00:57:40,040
Speaker 5: But they're not scoring points, and they're certainly you're not

1184
00:57:40,120 --> 00:57:43,680
Speaker 5: seeing by design. I'm talking about by design, you're not

1185
00:57:43,720 --> 00:57:45,880
Speaker 5: really seeing explosives in the past game.

1186
00:57:46,280 --> 00:57:49,320
Speaker 2: Staying on the topic of balance, what I've noticed in

1187
00:57:49,400 --> 00:57:54,560
Speaker 2: watching the film is not a lot of screen game

1188
00:57:54,760 --> 00:57:57,200
Speaker 2: in this Bill's offense. And to me, that's always been

1189
00:57:57,240 --> 00:57:59,840
Speaker 2: a very easy way for Again, I don't want to

1190
00:57:59,840 --> 00:58:02,720
Speaker 2: say like anything's easy in the NFL, but a way

1191
00:58:02,760 --> 00:58:06,320
Speaker 2: that teams can have that extension of their run game.

1192
00:58:06,360 --> 00:58:09,720
Speaker 2: Do you think that suddenly, I mean, it's not like

1193
00:58:09,760 --> 00:58:11,520
Speaker 2: the Bills are gonna all of a sudden throw ten

1194
00:58:11,560 --> 00:58:13,320
Speaker 2: screens a game, but do you think that's important to

1195
00:58:13,400 --> 00:58:15,760
Speaker 2: kind of incorporate that. It's kind of felt like when

1196
00:58:15,800 --> 00:58:17,680
Speaker 2: they haven't been able to run it well, and Josh

1197
00:58:17,760 --> 00:58:20,760
Speaker 2: Allen later in games is getting under pressure because those

1198
00:58:20,880 --> 00:58:22,640
Speaker 2: pass rushers can tee off. Do you think it is

1199
00:58:22,680 --> 00:58:24,960
Speaker 2: important for even a team that is trying to hit

1200
00:58:25,000 --> 00:58:28,760
Speaker 2: those explosive plays to have a screen game element. With

1201
00:58:28,880 --> 00:58:32,040
Speaker 2: James Cook and then maybe Leonard Fournette who they just signed.

1202
00:58:33,240 --> 00:58:35,440
Speaker 5: I mean, obviously, you know the more that you can

1203
00:58:35,440 --> 00:58:39,120
Speaker 5: show a defense, Chris, the better, you know. So yeah,

1204
00:58:39,240 --> 00:58:41,760
Speaker 5: I mean I wouldn't say I wouldn't answer your question

1205
00:58:41,840 --> 00:58:44,560
Speaker 5: by saying no. You know, I will say this too.

1206
00:58:44,680 --> 00:58:48,040
Speaker 5: And and you know, I love Josh Allen. I mean

1207
00:58:48,360 --> 00:58:51,800
Speaker 5: he is. I think he's the most talented quarterback in

1208
00:58:51,800 --> 00:58:53,800
Speaker 5: the league. You know, people can debate the best that

1209
00:58:53,800 --> 00:58:57,240
Speaker 5: that's for another time. But I think also and I

1210
00:58:57,280 --> 00:59:00,560
Speaker 5: don't know whether he feels it or you know, or

1211
00:59:00,560 --> 00:59:03,640
Speaker 5: it's just in his DNA, but there are times that

1212
00:59:03,760 --> 00:59:05,720
Speaker 5: he's not as patient as he needs to be in

1213
00:59:05,760 --> 00:59:09,080
Speaker 5: the pocket to allow some some route concepts and combinations

1214
00:59:09,120 --> 00:59:11,640
Speaker 5: to develop. And I think, you know, he's got to

1215
00:59:11,680 --> 00:59:15,040
Speaker 5: really work hard to do that. You know, we saw

1216
00:59:15,040 --> 00:59:16,560
Speaker 5: a play where he hitch a keyr I think for

1217
00:59:16,560 --> 00:59:19,360
Speaker 5: twenty three yards down the right sideline. I think that

1218
00:59:19,440 --> 00:59:21,440
Speaker 5: was on the first or second possession, you know, and

1219
00:59:21,480 --> 00:59:23,800
Speaker 5: he ran out of the pocket. He still made the throw,

1220
00:59:24,080 --> 00:59:25,600
Speaker 5: but there was no reason for him to run out

1221
00:59:25,600 --> 00:59:27,760
Speaker 5: of the pocket. There was no pressure on him. And

1222
00:59:27,800 --> 00:59:29,880
Speaker 5: you know, I think that he has to at times,

1223
00:59:30,120 --> 00:59:32,280
Speaker 5: depending on what the route concepts are, I think he

1224
00:59:32,360 --> 00:59:35,600
Speaker 5: has to sit there and let it happen. Now, that's

1225
00:59:35,640 --> 00:59:37,480
Speaker 5: easy for me to say with a clicker, you know

1226
00:59:37,680 --> 00:59:40,280
Speaker 5: where I'm not going to get hit by anybody, you know,

1227
00:59:40,400 --> 00:59:45,480
Speaker 5: but you know, I think sometimes obviously the intermediate downfield

1228
00:59:45,480 --> 00:59:48,040
Speaker 5: throws do take a little longer to develop, and and

1229
00:59:48,280 --> 00:59:50,520
Speaker 5: you know you have to feel comfortable with your pass protection.

1230
00:59:51,440 --> 00:59:53,840
Speaker 1: So you get this the spot where Josh needs to

1231
00:59:53,840 --> 00:59:55,560
Speaker 1: be a little more patient, and you mentioned the run

1232
00:59:55,600 --> 00:59:58,640
Speaker 1: game and needs to be more effective if the run game.

1233
01:00:00,120 --> 01:00:02,560
Speaker 1: Looking at the stats for the for the Denver Broncos

1234
01:00:02,560 --> 01:00:05,920
Speaker 1: defense coming into this week, they run too high safety

1235
01:00:05,960 --> 01:00:08,840
Speaker 1: or split safety is about forty five percent of the time.

1236
01:00:09,120 --> 01:00:11,920
Speaker 1: They run it, less than the Bills do. Do the

1237
01:00:11,920 --> 01:00:14,440
Speaker 1: Bills see more of that than other teams do with

1238
01:00:14,480 --> 01:00:16,800
Speaker 1: the split high safeties or is it kind of a

1239
01:00:16,880 --> 01:00:19,400
Speaker 1: league wide thing where they're gonna run, They're gonna keep

1240
01:00:19,400 --> 01:00:23,160
Speaker 1: a lid on the offense with two safeties until you

1241
01:00:23,400 --> 01:00:26,280
Speaker 1: prove they can't do that and you run the ball.

1242
01:00:26,360 --> 01:00:29,000
Speaker 1: Is that kind of the atmosphere.

1243
01:00:29,400 --> 01:00:30,440
Speaker 5: That's league wides?

1244
01:00:30,480 --> 01:00:31,800
Speaker 1: Do you right? I mean that's what I'm asking.

1245
01:00:31,880 --> 01:00:35,520
Speaker 5: Most are really down in the league. Look, you know this,

1246
01:00:35,760 --> 01:00:39,120
Speaker 5: if you play with two high safeties, what are you

1247
01:00:39,160 --> 01:00:41,880
Speaker 5: taking away? You're taking away seams I mean, if you

1248
01:00:41,880 --> 01:00:45,040
Speaker 5: play with single high, the seams are there, okay, unless

1249
01:00:45,040 --> 01:00:47,240
Speaker 5: you're gonna carry guys, and then it becomes a whole

1250
01:00:47,240 --> 01:00:50,120
Speaker 5: different form of zone. But you know what teams are

1251
01:00:50,120 --> 01:00:52,720
Speaker 5: doing more than ever is they're starting in a quarters

1252
01:00:52,800 --> 01:00:58,200
Speaker 5: structure and then they're sort of kind of rotating disguising.

1253
01:00:58,560 --> 01:01:01,439
Speaker 5: But and what happens it's the quarterback. Because you don't

1254
01:01:01,440 --> 01:01:03,320
Speaker 5: have a lot of time. You take the snap and

1255
01:01:03,320 --> 01:01:06,360
Speaker 5: if you're unclear as to exactly what you see, what

1256
01:01:06,440 --> 01:01:08,480
Speaker 5: a lot of quarterbacks are starting to do is check

1257
01:01:08,520 --> 01:01:10,880
Speaker 5: the ball down, which is another reason why there's not

1258
01:01:10,920 --> 01:01:14,720
Speaker 5: as many explosives. But the fact is split safety has

1259
01:01:14,760 --> 01:01:18,320
Speaker 5: become a much bigger deal throughout the entire league. The

1260
01:01:18,400 --> 01:01:22,479
Speaker 5: numbers reflect that, and actually teams can do a lot

1261
01:01:22,640 --> 01:01:26,480
Speaker 5: more with a quarter structure to start it. They can

1262
01:01:26,520 --> 01:01:29,360
Speaker 5: get to anything from a quarter structure, and so it

1263
01:01:29,400 --> 01:01:31,800
Speaker 5: makes it a little tougher for quarterbacks and the pass game.

1264
01:01:31,880 --> 01:01:34,520
Speaker 5: I mean, I'm watching the Chiefs and it's the same deal.

1265
01:01:34,720 --> 01:01:37,320
Speaker 5: They are not getting explosive plays either in the pass game.

1266
01:01:38,160 --> 01:01:40,080
Speaker 2: I have a question about two of the Bill's receivers.

1267
01:01:40,080 --> 01:01:42,120
Speaker 2: You mentioned one of them, Khalil Shakir over the last

1268
01:01:42,120 --> 01:01:43,600
Speaker 2: couple of weeks we started to see him out on

1269
01:01:43,600 --> 01:01:46,320
Speaker 2: the field a little bit more. Had those two twenty

1270
01:01:46,360 --> 01:01:49,560
Speaker 2: plus yard plays against the Bengals. Do you think he

1271
01:01:50,040 --> 01:01:52,560
Speaker 2: is I don't know, just good enough. Has the skill

1272
01:01:52,600 --> 01:01:58,120
Speaker 2: set to be that possession slot receiver underneath and then

1273
01:01:58,440 --> 01:02:01,760
Speaker 2: another receiver Deontay Hardy. He's small, he's five foot six.

1274
01:02:02,280 --> 01:02:05,440
Speaker 2: Do you think that he has the skill set to

1275
01:02:05,520 --> 01:02:08,520
Speaker 2: play on the outside. He only had three snaps against

1276
01:02:08,520 --> 01:02:11,120
Speaker 2: the Bengals, and I thought, personally he should be on

1277
01:02:11,160 --> 01:02:13,360
Speaker 2: the field more because he does have what you mentioned,

1278
01:02:14,040 --> 01:02:16,640
Speaker 2: the ability to stretch defenses vertically. They tried the one

1279
01:02:16,720 --> 01:02:17,880
Speaker 2: deep ball, didn't get there.

1280
01:02:17,880 --> 01:02:18,560
Speaker 3: It just feels like.

1281
01:02:18,560 --> 01:02:20,680
Speaker 5: And a woozy ran with him, stride for stride.

1282
01:02:20,720 --> 01:02:22,200
Speaker 3: Chris, Yeah, exactly.

1283
01:02:22,640 --> 01:02:22,680
Speaker 7: So.

1284
01:02:22,960 --> 01:02:27,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, but I would say that in response to the

1285
01:02:27,040 --> 01:02:30,000
Speaker 5: first part of your question, I love Shakir. I loved

1286
01:02:30,040 --> 01:02:32,680
Speaker 5: him coming out of Boise I thought that at Boys

1287
01:02:32,720 --> 01:02:35,280
Speaker 5: he played inside and outside. I thought he could be

1288
01:02:35,320 --> 01:02:37,880
Speaker 5: a quality receiver in this league. Now, having said that,

1289
01:02:38,240 --> 01:02:41,520
Speaker 5: you know he's not. He's not a special talent. I mean,

1290
01:02:41,560 --> 01:02:43,120
Speaker 5: you're not talking about a guy that's going to be

1291
01:02:43,120 --> 01:02:46,080
Speaker 5: the dominant receiver in your past game. But I think

1292
01:02:46,120 --> 01:02:50,080
Speaker 5: that he's absolutely qualified to be a number three for

1293
01:02:50,200 --> 01:02:52,880
Speaker 5: sure and line up anywhere because teams do more with

1294
01:02:53,000 --> 01:02:57,840
Speaker 5: formations now, you know, I think if you had I think,

1295
01:02:58,520 --> 01:03:00,760
Speaker 5: I think it depends on the rest of your corps.

1296
01:03:00,880 --> 01:03:02,760
Speaker 5: I mean, like I said, they just don't really have

1297
01:03:02,840 --> 01:03:06,320
Speaker 5: a vertical guy. But I really like Shakir. I really

1298
01:03:06,400 --> 01:03:08,560
Speaker 5: liked him coming out, So you know, I'm glad to

1299
01:03:08,560 --> 01:03:11,360
Speaker 5: see him playing more because I think he's the kind

1300
01:03:11,360 --> 01:03:13,840
Speaker 5: of guy that can you know, get open in his

1301
01:03:13,880 --> 01:03:16,160
Speaker 5: own areas he catches the ball, he's got run after

1302
01:03:16,240 --> 01:03:20,000
Speaker 5: catch to him. You know, I'd like to see that continue.

1303
01:03:20,040 --> 01:03:24,000
Speaker 5: Hardy on the other hand, is Gimmick's not the right word.

1304
01:03:24,040 --> 01:03:28,640
Speaker 5: But he's a specialty player. Okay, you're not, okay, can't

1305
01:03:28,680 --> 01:03:30,760
Speaker 5: play him a lot of snaps. I mean, they tried

1306
01:03:30,800 --> 01:03:34,520
Speaker 5: the deep ball with him, obviously, a woozy ran with him,

1307
01:03:34,560 --> 01:03:37,000
Speaker 5: stride for stride. I remember him in New Orleans a

1308
01:03:37,000 --> 01:03:39,080
Speaker 5: few years back. It was the year Jamis Winston got

1309
01:03:39,120 --> 01:03:41,600
Speaker 5: hurt after eight games, and he caught two or three

1310
01:03:41,760 --> 01:03:45,040
Speaker 5: really long touchdowns where he ran by the defense. That's

1311
01:03:45,080 --> 01:03:47,680
Speaker 5: worth taking a shot, you know, And then you might

1312
01:03:47,800 --> 01:03:49,920
Speaker 5: use him in other ways like jet sweeps, things like

1313
01:03:49,960 --> 01:03:52,600
Speaker 5: that where you believe you're taking advantage of his speed,

1314
01:03:52,840 --> 01:03:55,640
Speaker 5: but he's not a forty to fifty snap of game play.

1315
01:03:56,760 --> 01:03:59,800
Speaker 1: How good can Dalton can k be? I mean, obviously

1316
01:03:59,880 --> 01:04:02,720
Speaker 1: he he's gotten an expanded role with Knox being injured,

1317
01:04:03,320 --> 01:04:05,600
Speaker 1: and he's caught over you know, twenty balls over the

1318
01:04:05,680 --> 01:04:08,200
Speaker 1: last three weeks, so they he's getting a ton of

1319
01:04:08,240 --> 01:04:13,480
Speaker 1: targets and he catches everything. What do you see?

1320
01:04:14,640 --> 01:04:17,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, I really like Kinkaid. He was another guy I

1321
01:04:17,760 --> 01:04:20,400
Speaker 5: loved coming out. You know. Now, to me, the next

1322
01:04:20,400 --> 01:04:23,040
Speaker 5: step with him, because he does have this ability, is

1323
01:04:23,280 --> 01:04:26,640
Speaker 5: to you know, sort of expand the route concepts, get

1324
01:04:26,720 --> 01:04:29,880
Speaker 5: him a little more on intermediate routes. He certainly has

1325
01:04:29,920 --> 01:04:33,160
Speaker 5: the speed to run the seam and run wheel routes,

1326
01:04:33,200 --> 01:04:34,840
Speaker 5: you know, things of that nature, which we've seen a

1327
01:04:34,840 --> 01:04:36,520
Speaker 5: little of. You know, I think you want to keep

1328
01:04:36,600 --> 01:04:39,000
Speaker 5: working in that area. But he's also a really good

1329
01:04:39,000 --> 01:04:40,920
Speaker 5: safety valve, the kind of guy you know, in an

1330
01:04:40,960 --> 01:04:42,640
Speaker 5: ideal world, he's the kind of guy that when it's

1331
01:04:42,680 --> 01:04:44,120
Speaker 5: third and seven, you throw it to him and you

1332
01:04:44,160 --> 01:04:46,200
Speaker 5: get nine and you get a first down. You know,

1333
01:04:46,280 --> 01:04:48,360
Speaker 5: he's that guy as well. I think he can be

1334
01:04:48,520 --> 01:04:52,320
Speaker 5: a complete receiving tight end. He's he's got all those traits.

1335
01:04:53,000 --> 01:04:55,360
Speaker 5: So you'd like to think that his role will continue

1336
01:04:55,360 --> 01:04:58,480
Speaker 5: to expand as well as you go forward, because he

1337
01:04:58,560 --> 01:05:01,720
Speaker 5: certainly can do it, but they just need you know,

1338
01:05:03,120 --> 01:05:06,200
Speaker 5: It's funny sometimes when you watch a team on either

1339
01:05:06,200 --> 01:05:07,560
Speaker 5: side of the ball, you know, and I've seen this

1340
01:05:07,600 --> 01:05:09,240
Speaker 5: because I you know, this is what I do. I

1341
01:05:09,280 --> 01:05:12,080
Speaker 5: pretty much watch every team, and sometimes you just see

1342
01:05:12,080 --> 01:05:14,000
Speaker 5: them get in a little bit of a rut, and

1343
01:05:14,080 --> 01:05:17,320
Speaker 5: I can't quite figure out exactly all the reasons. You know,

1344
01:05:17,360 --> 01:05:19,880
Speaker 5: you can talk about him, you know, obviously I'm not

1345
01:05:19,920 --> 01:05:22,960
Speaker 5: there in the meetings, but they just it just feels

1346
01:05:22,960 --> 01:05:25,280
Speaker 5: to me watching their offense like it's just in a

1347
01:05:25,280 --> 01:05:27,320
Speaker 5: little bit of a rut, like they're trying to figure

1348
01:05:27,360 --> 01:05:29,360
Speaker 5: out how to get out of it, and they show

1349
01:05:29,440 --> 01:05:33,080
Speaker 5: flashes once in a while, but it's just not quite

1350
01:05:33,120 --> 01:05:34,880
Speaker 5: happening the way they want it to happen.

1351
01:05:35,360 --> 01:05:38,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, one last question for me, and I'll make it straightforward,

1352
01:05:38,960 --> 01:05:42,520
Speaker 2: Gabe Davis, is the lack of production. Is it he's

1353
01:05:42,600 --> 01:05:45,120
Speaker 2: running too many clearing routes where he's just like not

1354
01:05:45,320 --> 01:05:50,000
Speaker 2: really in the progression technically. Is he having problems creating separation.

1355
01:05:50,080 --> 01:05:52,600
Speaker 2: What have you seen individually last couple of games, the

1356
01:05:52,600 --> 01:05:55,919
Speaker 2: Bills just have not gotten number two type production out

1357
01:05:55,960 --> 01:05:57,160
Speaker 2: of their big play wide receiver.

1358
01:05:57,640 --> 01:06:00,680
Speaker 5: Yeah. And you know, I would answer that Chris by

1359
01:06:00,760 --> 01:06:02,880
Speaker 5: saying that he's been there for a number of years

1360
01:06:02,920 --> 01:06:08,200
Speaker 5: now and essentially and and and all I can say

1361
01:06:08,240 --> 01:06:10,720
Speaker 5: is is ultimately what the results are. Okay, I don't

1362
01:06:10,800 --> 01:06:14,440
Speaker 5: know how it's all put together, but the results indicate

1363
01:06:14,600 --> 01:06:17,920
Speaker 5: that he's you don't know what you're gonna get from

1364
01:06:18,000 --> 01:06:21,120
Speaker 5: Gabe Davis within the context of the passing game week

1365
01:06:21,160 --> 01:06:23,520
Speaker 5: to week. That is not a knock on Gabe Davis

1366
01:06:23,560 --> 01:06:26,480
Speaker 5: as a you know, as a player, but he's the

1367
01:06:26,520 --> 01:06:30,120
Speaker 5: way it plays out on a weekly basis. It doesn't

1368
01:06:30,120 --> 01:06:34,200
Speaker 5: play out as if he's a quality number two that

1369
01:06:34,240 --> 01:06:36,560
Speaker 5: you can count on every week. Now, maybe he is,

1370
01:06:37,080 --> 01:06:39,919
Speaker 5: and maybe it's not him, but that's not the way

1371
01:06:39,920 --> 01:06:42,439
Speaker 5: it plays out, and they need it to play out

1372
01:06:42,480 --> 01:06:43,960
Speaker 5: that way, right.

1373
01:06:44,400 --> 01:06:47,680
Speaker 1: Give us your synopsis at first glance, and maybe you

1374
01:06:47,720 --> 01:06:50,240
Speaker 1: know from this side of the game for this Monday

1375
01:06:50,320 --> 01:06:54,320
Speaker 1: night game between Buffalo and Denver. Denver coming in, Yeah,

1376
01:06:54,360 --> 01:06:57,240
Speaker 1: they're coming in off there by week I think.

1377
01:06:59,280 --> 01:07:01,800
Speaker 5: Being the Chiefs the week prior. That's right, and really

1378
01:07:01,800 --> 01:07:03,640
Speaker 5: good defense. Really good defense got.

1379
01:07:03,560 --> 01:07:07,120
Speaker 1: Five turnovers off the Chiefs. Chiefs held the Chiefs nine points,

1380
01:07:07,120 --> 01:07:10,880
Speaker 1: which unprecedented and as as rough as it's been here

1381
01:07:10,920 --> 01:07:14,800
Speaker 1: in Buffalo Bill's Country. After the Cincinnati loss, I could

1382
01:07:14,800 --> 01:07:17,560
Speaker 1: only imagine what Chiefs fans were talking about in Kansas

1383
01:07:17,600 --> 01:07:21,160
Speaker 1: City after scoring nine points on the Broncos defense that

1384
01:07:21,240 --> 01:07:24,000
Speaker 1: gave up seventy to the Dolphins. So, you know, what

1385
01:07:24,000 --> 01:07:26,360
Speaker 1: are your thoughts about this Denver team coming into Buffalo

1386
01:07:26,360 --> 01:07:28,000
Speaker 1: and it's in its current moment.

1387
01:07:28,960 --> 01:07:30,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, they got all they have a lot of young,

1388
01:07:31,000 --> 01:07:35,680
Speaker 5: explosive edge rushers. They've got you know, they got Browning

1389
01:07:35,760 --> 01:07:38,560
Speaker 5: from Ohio State who's in who's now become a a

1390
01:07:38,680 --> 01:07:42,560
Speaker 5: full time edge player. They've got Benido from Oklahoma who's

1391
01:07:42,600 --> 01:07:46,880
Speaker 5: an explosive athlete. They've got Cooper from Ohio State. These

1392
01:07:46,920 --> 01:07:49,680
Speaker 5: are three guys who are really good off the edge.

1393
01:07:49,680 --> 01:07:53,880
Speaker 5: They're explosive athletes. They've got two linebackers and Jewel and

1394
01:07:53,960 --> 01:07:57,920
Speaker 5: Singleton who are just savvy kinds of players, and you

1395
01:07:57,960 --> 01:08:01,000
Speaker 5: know they're they're a quick, fast defense. They've got a

1396
01:08:01,040 --> 01:08:03,560
Speaker 5: great corner. It'll be interesting to see if it's a

1397
01:08:03,760 --> 01:08:07,720
Speaker 5: true matchup because Patrick's ortan may be the best pure

1398
01:08:07,800 --> 01:08:10,280
Speaker 5: corner in the league, so it'll be interesting to see

1399
01:08:10,400 --> 01:08:12,600
Speaker 5: if they match him up on Diggs. Obviously, they move

1400
01:08:12,640 --> 01:08:14,480
Speaker 5: Digs around a lot, so he's not going to be

1401
01:08:14,480 --> 01:08:18,000
Speaker 5: matched up to him on every single snap, but if

1402
01:08:18,000 --> 01:08:20,880
Speaker 5: he lines up outside Diggs, that'll be a matchup that

1403
01:08:20,920 --> 01:08:23,000
Speaker 5: would be fun to watch. But they're kind of a

1404
01:08:23,040 --> 01:08:26,439
Speaker 5: young defense with a lot of juice to them, and

1405
01:08:26,760 --> 01:08:28,839
Speaker 5: they're not an easy defense to play against.

1406
01:08:29,680 --> 01:08:32,639
Speaker 2: What about offensively that Russell Wilson we talked about earlier

1407
01:08:32,680 --> 01:08:35,000
Speaker 2: in the show. His sack grade is at ten percent

1408
01:08:35,040 --> 01:08:37,920
Speaker 2: again after he led the league with fifty five sacks

1409
01:08:38,000 --> 01:08:41,080
Speaker 2: last season, had the most sacks in football. That game

1410
01:08:41,240 --> 01:08:44,360
Speaker 2: beating the Chiefs super impressive. You mentioned everything defensively, the

1411
01:08:44,400 --> 01:08:48,559
Speaker 2: five turnovers. Has the offense been any better the last

1412
01:08:48,600 --> 01:08:50,880
Speaker 2: couple of weeks or have they really been riding the

1413
01:08:50,960 --> 01:08:52,679
Speaker 2: defense beating the Packers and the Chiefs.

1414
01:08:53,479 --> 01:08:55,639
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's more of the defense, Chris. I mean, they're

1415
01:08:55,680 --> 01:08:57,960
Speaker 5: trying to run the ball with Javonta Williams, who's a

1416
01:08:58,000 --> 01:09:01,240
Speaker 5: real strong runner. You need to get to him because

1417
01:09:01,280 --> 01:09:04,599
Speaker 5: he can run through people. Wilson's been up and down

1418
01:09:04,640 --> 01:09:07,799
Speaker 5: this year. You know, he's he's obviously made some throws.

1419
01:09:08,040 --> 01:09:10,719
Speaker 5: See here's a classificase where his numbers look really good,

1420
01:09:11,000 --> 01:09:13,120
Speaker 5: but if you watch the tape, that's not what he

1421
01:09:13,200 --> 01:09:16,800
Speaker 5: looks like on film. But the numbers are good, and

1422
01:09:16,880 --> 01:09:19,240
Speaker 5: certainly he can be good. You know, he's he's had

1423
01:09:19,280 --> 01:09:23,120
Speaker 5: success in this league. You have to get people around him.

1424
01:09:23,160 --> 01:09:25,519
Speaker 5: You have to make him break down. He'll break down quick.

1425
01:09:25,960 --> 01:09:28,040
Speaker 5: He's not the same athlete he was, you know, five

1426
01:09:28,120 --> 01:09:31,760
Speaker 5: six years ago, so you know you need to do that.

1427
01:09:31,880 --> 01:09:33,880
Speaker 5: I mean, it's really important in this game to get

1428
01:09:33,920 --> 01:09:36,639
Speaker 5: people around him real quick because you know he tends

1429
01:09:36,680 --> 01:09:38,760
Speaker 5: to break down. He's smaller, so there are certain things

1430
01:09:38,800 --> 01:09:41,639
Speaker 5: he just can't see. But they're gonna try to run

1431
01:09:41,680 --> 01:09:44,240
Speaker 5: the football. I mean, they're there. That's kind of what

1432
01:09:44,479 --> 01:09:47,920
Speaker 5: they do best at this point. And Javonta Williams is

1433
01:09:48,040 --> 01:09:51,080
Speaker 5: a is a tough guy to deal with. He's a strong, physical,

1434
01:09:51,160 --> 01:09:52,000
Speaker 5: powerful runner.

1435
01:09:52,880 --> 01:09:56,799
Speaker 1: Greg, thanks so much, Greg Cosel NFL Films, a senior producer.

1436

1441
01:10:04,960 --> 01:10:07,679
Speaker 1: we're gonna go to the podium. Ed Oliver, defensive tackle

1442
01:10:07,680 --> 01:10:09,519
Speaker 1: for the Buffalo Bills, is speaking to the media. Let's

1443
01:10:09,560 --> 01:10:14,120
Speaker 1: go take d right now.

1444
01:10:17,680 --> 01:10:18,479
Speaker 4: It's kind of different.

1445
01:10:18,479 --> 01:10:21,080
Speaker 7: Well, a little bit later in the week and knowing

1446
01:10:21,120 --> 01:10:23,920
Speaker 7: this day is a fast Friday, but out here just working.

1447
01:10:24,360 --> 01:10:27,760
Speaker 7: Feel good outside, nice little breeze and overcast, so the

1448
01:10:27,800 --> 01:10:29,360
Speaker 7: air condition is definitely on our side.

1449
01:10:29,360 --> 01:10:30,400
Speaker 4: So we're just out here working.

1450
01:10:32,040 --> 01:10:35,680
Speaker 8: So I mean, what how do you get out of

1451
01:10:35,720 --> 01:10:36,040
Speaker 8: this point?

1452
01:10:36,080 --> 01:10:36,880
Speaker 5: I know where you're going in.

1453
01:10:37,000 --> 01:10:39,800
Speaker 8: You've been here for quite a while, right, and how

1454
01:10:39,840 --> 01:10:41,960
Speaker 8: do you deal with this roller coaster win game, blues

1455
01:10:42,000 --> 01:10:43,160
Speaker 8: games games.

1456
01:10:43,320 --> 01:10:46,519
Speaker 7: It's kind of new just for us as a as

1457
01:10:46,520 --> 01:10:48,960
Speaker 7: a defense and as a whole team. The first on defense,

1458
01:10:48,960 --> 01:10:50,240
Speaker 7: you got to do our part as a D line,

1459
01:10:50,280 --> 01:10:52,920
Speaker 7: gotta get back to having the negative players, the sacks,

1460
01:10:52,960 --> 01:10:56,800
Speaker 7: the TFLs, and obviously the takeaways. We get back to that,

1461
01:10:56,880 --> 01:10:58,960
Speaker 7: it makes everything a whole lot EASi, a whole lot

1462
01:10:58,960 --> 01:11:01,360
Speaker 7: better for not just us as a D line getting

1463
01:11:01,360 --> 01:11:03,600
Speaker 7: our mojo back, but just for the whole team. So

1464
01:11:03,680 --> 01:11:06,000
Speaker 7: I think if we just start by, uh, everybody on

1465
01:11:06,000 --> 01:11:07,280
Speaker 7: the D line doing our job.

1466
01:11:07,200 --> 01:11:07,760
Speaker 4: Starting with me.

1467
01:11:08,120 --> 01:11:11,120
Speaker 7: Uh, I think we won't be in the phone for long.

1468
01:11:11,360 --> 01:11:14,400
Speaker 4: We'll just go back to ill winning ways. I guess how.

1469
01:11:14,360 --> 01:11:16,360
Speaker 5: Much was easy impacting you?

1470
01:11:16,400 --> 01:11:19,200
Speaker 4: And like, how how much better you're talking y'all out? Uh?

1471
01:11:19,439 --> 01:11:22,120
Speaker 7: I mean, it's just a Honestly, it's just day to day.

1472
01:11:22,160 --> 01:11:25,559
Speaker 7: Some days feel better than other days. But uh, man,

1473
01:11:26,000 --> 01:11:27,840
Speaker 7: like I said at beginning, the season of healthy at

1474
01:11:27,840 --> 01:11:29,759
Speaker 7: all of it is a bad you know what I'm saying.

1475
01:11:29,840 --> 01:11:32,519
Speaker 7: So just me having trying to get back to being

1476
01:11:32,520 --> 01:11:34,360
Speaker 7: healthy so I can be dominant I wanna be on

1477
01:11:34,479 --> 01:11:37,200
Speaker 7: uh Sundays. Is just that's everything I've been grinding in

1478
01:11:37,200 --> 01:11:39,200
Speaker 7: the training room trying to get get myself back right.

1479
01:11:39,280 --> 01:11:41,479
Speaker 7: So I'm I'm feeling a whole lot better than I

1480
01:11:41,640 --> 01:11:44,320
Speaker 7: was feeling. So hopefully I can get my rep count

1481
01:11:44,320 --> 01:11:47,840
Speaker 7: back up and uh get more opportunities and obviously, cause

1482
01:11:47,840 --> 01:11:49,840
Speaker 7: I'm a I'm a guy who needs first and second

1483
01:11:49,840 --> 01:11:52,240
Speaker 7: down to be effective on third down. Just coming coming

1484
01:11:52,240 --> 01:11:54,360
Speaker 7: off the bench for just third down was kind of

1485
01:11:54,400 --> 01:11:57,519
Speaker 7: affecting me, uh with the rhythm and everything. But hopefully

1486
01:11:57,720 --> 01:11:59,880
Speaker 7: me getting my rep back rep count back up and

1487
01:12:00,120 --> 01:12:02,320
Speaker 7: being more of a factor will help me, you know.

1488
01:12:02,840 --> 01:12:05,439
Speaker 7: Put the quarterback down and tackle run back in the backfield.

1489
01:12:05,479 --> 01:12:07,000
Speaker 7: You know, just get my mojo back.

1490
01:12:07,240 --> 01:12:09,360
Speaker 4: And the mojo. You got five sacks already?

1491
01:12:09,400 --> 01:12:09,599
Speaker 5: Man?

1492
01:12:09,720 --> 01:12:10,680
Speaker 4: Yeah season you.

1493
01:12:10,640 --> 01:12:13,840
Speaker 8: Know, uh you know, how how how would you rate

1494
01:12:13,920 --> 01:12:16,639
Speaker 8: yourself mid season? A healthy ed I would make sense.

1495
01:12:17,640 --> 01:12:20,519
Speaker 7: Uh, Like I said, I got five sacks, I need

1496
01:12:20,640 --> 01:12:22,680
Speaker 7: uh three more to hit the center. So that's the

1497
01:12:22,840 --> 01:12:24,719
Speaker 7: only thing on my mind. And then after that, everything

1498
01:12:24,760 --> 01:12:27,800
Speaker 7: after that is it's just extra on top. So right

1499
01:12:27,800 --> 01:12:30,240
Speaker 7: now that's I got, uh what we got nine games?

1500
01:12:30,280 --> 01:12:31,200
Speaker 7: Let no seven?

1501
01:12:31,280 --> 01:12:32,880
Speaker 4: Eight? Eight games? Eight?

1502
01:12:32,960 --> 01:12:36,120
Speaker 7: Yeah, this ten and then seven, so I got seven

1503
01:12:36,160 --> 01:12:38,880
Speaker 7: to get three and then anything past that is is uh,

1504
01:12:39,800 --> 01:12:42,880
Speaker 7: it's just good money. But I mean that's just where

1505
01:12:42,920 --> 01:12:44,720
Speaker 7: my head spaces added and just go out there and

1506
01:12:44,760 --> 01:12:47,800
Speaker 7: effect every game and wreck and cause havoc and.

1507
01:12:47,840 --> 01:12:50,160
Speaker 4: Obviously get uh get uh.

1508
01:12:50,600 --> 01:12:52,599
Speaker 7: One of my main goals is get Vonn on the board,

1509
01:12:53,200 --> 01:12:54,880
Speaker 7: uh cause he ain't on the board yet, So just

1510
01:12:54,880 --> 01:12:57,280
Speaker 7: get guys on the board along with myself, just giving

1511
01:12:57,280 --> 01:13:00,000
Speaker 7: guys layups and alleys like I always if it's not

1512
01:13:00,120 --> 01:13:01,400
Speaker 7: me getting the sack, do you know what I'm saying?

1513
01:13:01,520 --> 01:13:04,759
Speaker 4: Just causing havoc and uh creating team success.

1514
01:13:05,080 --> 01:13:06,559
Speaker 6: How do you call it, go like y'all.

1515
01:13:06,479 --> 01:13:07,360
Speaker 2: Or something like bond.

1516
01:13:07,360 --> 01:13:09,920
Speaker 4: I don't know, like it's for my teammate, but I can.

1517
01:13:09,800 --> 01:13:10,360
Speaker 6: Help them the fight.

1518
01:13:11,960 --> 01:13:15,360
Speaker 7: We all like, uh, last week we had a game

1519
01:13:15,439 --> 01:13:17,400
Speaker 7: called and I mean, he just missed it by a

1520
01:13:17,439 --> 01:13:21,800
Speaker 7: little bit, I think feeling uh feeling flowing up splitting it.

1521
01:13:21,920 --> 01:13:24,360
Speaker 7: But it's like, damn, I'm trying to really really trying

1522
01:13:24,360 --> 01:13:27,320
Speaker 7: to get him on the board. And uh, I know

1523
01:13:27,400 --> 01:13:29,720
Speaker 7: he you know, once you get that one for a

1524
01:13:29,760 --> 01:13:32,240
Speaker 7: god like him, it they just like a snowball effect.

1525
01:13:32,360 --> 01:13:34,240
Speaker 7: So just trying to get him on the board, get

1526
01:13:34,280 --> 01:13:36,920
Speaker 7: everybody around me on the board, and h when everybody's eating,

1527
01:13:36,920 --> 01:13:40,280
Speaker 7: everybody's rushing, that's when the players really start to pile

1528
01:13:40,400 --> 01:13:42,720
Speaker 7: up and they sacks kind of just fall in and

1529
01:13:43,160 --> 01:13:45,280
Speaker 7: big players just kind of just fall in when everybody's

1530
01:13:45,520 --> 01:13:47,680
Speaker 7: doing their job and just rushing. So we just we

1531
01:13:47,840 --> 01:13:50,120
Speaker 7: just keep that camaraderie and make sure everybody eat.

1532
01:13:50,240 --> 01:13:51,639
Speaker 4: It makes it a whole lot easier.

1533
01:13:52,000 --> 01:13:53,639
Speaker 5: As you watch vond and you feel like it's getting

1534
01:13:53,640 --> 01:13:54,680
Speaker 5: closer and closer.

1535
01:13:55,000 --> 01:13:56,719
Speaker 4: Definitely, you could you could see it that practice.

1536
01:13:56,760 --> 01:13:59,120
Speaker 7: He was just getting more comfortable and the way he's

1537
01:13:59,160 --> 01:14:02,439
Speaker 7: moving and it's coming and i'ma I'm gonna help him

1538
01:14:02,479 --> 01:14:02,720
Speaker 7: get that.

1539
01:14:02,800 --> 01:14:07,320
Speaker 6: Too, to know flow more and or what is he like, like,

1540
01:14:07,320 --> 01:14:09,360
Speaker 6: what does you mention your camaraderie, how to see it

1541
01:14:09,439 --> 01:14:13,600
Speaker 6: into the surround it.

1542
01:14:13,760 --> 01:14:16,200
Speaker 7: It's hard to explain flow because he don't talk a lot,

1543
01:14:16,240 --> 01:14:18,600
Speaker 7: but he do talk a lot, and he quiet, but

1544
01:14:18,680 --> 01:14:21,719
Speaker 7: he funny, but he he reserved, but he not reserved

1545
01:14:21,720 --> 01:14:24,000
Speaker 7: at the same time, so he he a funny guy

1546
01:14:24,040 --> 01:14:26,400
Speaker 7: to put it into words. But he's just been a

1547
01:14:26,439 --> 01:14:30,679
Speaker 7: great veteran presence, especially at the DM position UH providing

1548
01:14:30,680 --> 01:14:32,760
Speaker 7: sack production, TFLs, things like that.

1549
01:14:33,040 --> 01:14:34,360
Speaker 4: He's been a very productive guy.

1550
01:14:34,600 --> 01:14:37,200
Speaker 7: UH been a great guy for UH, Greg and AJ

1551
01:14:37,800 --> 01:14:40,920
Speaker 7: to UH learn from and the young guys to learn

1552
01:14:41,000 --> 01:14:43,599
Speaker 7: from along with Vaughan. Just a good veteran president. He's

1553
01:14:43,600 --> 01:14:44,960
Speaker 7: been in the league for a long time and he

1554
01:14:45,200 --> 01:14:49,479
Speaker 7: is definitely for a reason. Bige such debut last week

1555
01:14:49,560 --> 01:14:51,760
Speaker 7: and how can he be in the Yeah, I've seen it.

1556
01:14:51,800 --> 01:14:55,720
Speaker 7: That's a big mother. That's probably the biggest human I've

1557
01:14:55,760 --> 01:15:00,880
Speaker 7: ever seen. Literally behind second UH well him, him, and

1558
01:15:00,880 --> 01:15:03,240
Speaker 7: then big Field. When I saw somebody else bigger than

1559
01:15:03,280 --> 01:15:05,519
Speaker 7: big Field, I said, oh my god. And then that's

1560
01:15:05,520 --> 01:15:06,920
Speaker 7: when I got to meet him, and he really just

1561
01:15:07,080 --> 01:15:09,200
Speaker 7: he had just a gym design, A good guy to

1562
01:15:09,200 --> 01:15:10,879
Speaker 7: be around, good veteran presence.

1563
01:15:11,160 --> 01:15:13,799
Speaker 4: Uh, somebody I can learn from.

1564
01:15:13,840 --> 01:15:15,639
Speaker 7: He got a couple of moves I can take from

1565
01:15:15,640 --> 01:15:18,559
Speaker 7: his game, even though he's way bigger than me, but uh,

1566
01:15:18,600 --> 01:15:21,240
Speaker 7: he got a couple moves. He just got savvy at

1567
01:15:21,280 --> 01:15:23,360
Speaker 7: the game over the years. So it's good for me

1568
01:15:23,400 --> 01:15:25,080
Speaker 7: to just learn from him and take a couple of

1569
01:15:25,120 --> 01:15:25,559
Speaker 7: moves fro him.

1570
01:15:25,640 --> 01:15:29,479
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was at Oliver addressing the media just a

1571
01:15:29,560 --> 01:15:33,200
Speaker 1: minute ago after practice. And anything strike you about about

1572
01:15:33,200 --> 01:15:34,000
Speaker 1: what Ed was talking.

1573
01:15:34,320 --> 01:15:37,160
Speaker 2: Well, we know big phil is Jordan Phillips, right flow,

1574
01:15:37,400 --> 01:15:39,000
Speaker 2: Leonard Floyd, It took me a second.

1575
01:15:38,720 --> 01:15:39,160
Speaker 1: To get right.

1576
01:15:39,200 --> 01:15:41,960
Speaker 3: You got took a site for the word nicknames.

1577
01:15:41,560 --> 01:15:45,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, Leonard, he said, you know, obviously, Leonard Floyd, there's

1578
01:15:45,080 --> 01:15:46,240
Speaker 1: a couple of snap and I know a lot of

1579
01:15:46,240 --> 01:15:47,960
Speaker 1: people didn't see too much positive coming out of the

1580
01:15:48,000 --> 01:15:49,559
Speaker 1: Cincinnati game. Leonard Floyd's playing at.

1581
01:15:49,479 --> 01:15:50,360
Speaker 4: A high level. He is.

1582
01:15:50,640 --> 01:15:53,000
Speaker 1: He didn't he's not getting you know's the only way

1583
01:15:53,040 --> 01:15:55,439
Speaker 1: people find out is if he's got like umpteen sacks

1584
01:15:55,439 --> 01:15:57,720
Speaker 1: in a game or whatever. But that guy's causing some

1585
01:15:57,760 --> 01:16:00,559
Speaker 1: problems back there was playing really well on lyn Val

1586
01:16:00,680 --> 01:16:03,240
Speaker 1: Joseph come in off the couch like like Ed said,

1587
01:16:03,280 --> 01:16:06,120
Speaker 1: he's a he's a big body and I was talking

1588
01:16:06,160 --> 01:16:08,800
Speaker 1: to if you notice this, there seems to be a

1589
01:16:08,880 --> 01:16:17,160
Speaker 1: niche market of guys like Leonard Fournette, Floor lin Vall, Joseph,

1590
01:16:17,640 --> 01:16:21,400
Speaker 1: a little bit like Josh Josh Norman. Yeah, but those

1591
01:16:21,439 --> 01:16:23,840
Speaker 1: are just the Bills examples. There are other examples out there.

1592
01:16:23,880 --> 01:16:26,400
Speaker 1: There are guys who are who would you would think, hey,

1593
01:16:26,400 --> 01:16:28,000
Speaker 1: you might have something left in the tank, who were

1594
01:16:28,080 --> 01:16:31,360
Speaker 1: kind of waiting for the opportunity to kind of parachute

1595
01:16:31,360 --> 01:16:35,120
Speaker 1: in to a contender. We saw it, and we've seen

1596
01:16:35,160 --> 01:16:36,280
Speaker 1: it in years past.

1597
01:16:36,160 --> 01:16:39,080
Speaker 2: And parachuting in midway through the season because maybe their

1598
01:16:39,120 --> 01:16:41,120
Speaker 2: bodies aren't ready to go through the riggers.

1599
01:16:40,760 --> 01:16:43,080
Speaker 3: Of heyet training gamp exactly.

1600
01:16:43,120 --> 01:16:46,360
Speaker 2: Steven, no training camp in September, October, come in in

1601
01:16:46,439 --> 01:16:50,600
Speaker 2: November and you're basically hoping to play November, December, January,

1602
01:16:50,640 --> 01:16:53,000
Speaker 2: and a game in February, and you can still get

1603
01:16:53,080 --> 01:16:54,160
Speaker 2: quality production out of them.

1604
01:16:54,200 --> 01:16:56,160
Speaker 3: Lynville Joseph was good on.

1605
01:16:56,080 --> 01:17:00,479
Speaker 2: The Eagles last season, and to going back to at Oliver,

1606
01:17:00,560 --> 01:17:02,640
Speaker 2: he said, you know, a healthy at Oliver is a

1607
01:17:02,680 --> 01:17:05,400
Speaker 2: bad man and he is playing I think his best football,

1608
01:17:05,600 --> 01:17:08,519
Speaker 2: playing well all three downs that he's played in his career.

1609
01:17:09,080 --> 01:17:12,519
Speaker 2: Beyond just being healthy, I think and at Oliver next

1610
01:17:12,560 --> 01:17:16,480
Speaker 2: to a big body, a starletout lay, a healthy Jordan Phillips,

1611
01:17:17,280 --> 01:17:20,160
Speaker 2: Linval Joseph, I think that is really what is needed

1612
01:17:20,200 --> 01:17:22,880
Speaker 2: for the up the field pass rusher that at is

1613
01:17:22,960 --> 01:17:24,800
Speaker 2: to really be accentuated in this defense.

1614
01:17:24,800 --> 01:17:26,400
Speaker 1: All Right, we're gonna take a break after the Ed

1615
01:17:26,479 --> 01:17:30,000
Speaker 1: Oliver sound and the Greg Cosel visit. We appreciate that.

1616
01:17:30,040 --> 01:17:31,920
Speaker 1: We're gonna come back around a little bit of mail

1617
01:17:32,000 --> 01:17:35,200
Speaker 1: from the obl Friday fan mail bag for today, we'll

1618
01:17:35,200 --> 01:17:37,800
Speaker 1: be back. This is One Bills Live on Buffalo Bill's Radio,

1619
01:17:37,800 --> 01:17:38,880
Speaker 1: presented by Calida Health.

1620
01:17:38,920 --> 01:17:39,519
Speaker 4: We'll be right now.

1621
01:17:50,080 --> 01:17:51,960
Speaker 1: Welcome back to One Bills Live. Before we get to

1622
01:17:52,120 --> 01:17:56,160
Speaker 1: the tweet sheet and the Tailgate Friday fan mail bag,

1623
01:17:56,200 --> 01:17:58,960
Speaker 1: and we're gonna do Collision Course. Collision Course is brought

1624
01:17:59,000 --> 01:18:01,320
Speaker 1: to you by Gabe's Collision and Gabe's Collision, the official

1625
01:18:01,360 --> 01:18:04,719
Speaker 1: auto collision repair center of the Buffalo Bills get back

1626
01:18:04,800 --> 01:18:08,160
Speaker 1: in the game. Collision Course for us, I think for me,

1627
01:18:08,240 --> 01:18:10,439
Speaker 1: it's gonna be about the Bill's pass rush against the

1628
01:18:11,280 --> 01:18:16,200
Speaker 1: Denver offensive line. They're front four against the Denver's offensive line.

1629
01:18:16,479 --> 01:18:18,880
Speaker 1: Denver's offensive line has struggled to protect in the pass,

1630
01:18:18,880 --> 01:18:20,960
Speaker 1: so they have tried to compensate for that by running

1631
01:18:21,000 --> 01:18:25,360
Speaker 1: the ball a lot and never getting into all obvious

1632
01:18:25,400 --> 01:18:29,439
Speaker 1: passing situations. And that it will be up to the

1633
01:18:29,439 --> 01:18:33,040
Speaker 1: Bills front foward to a front seven eight to stop

1634
01:18:33,080 --> 01:18:35,840
Speaker 1: the run and get him into obvious passing situations, but

1635
01:18:35,880 --> 01:18:38,760
Speaker 1: also take advantage of it when they do. That's a

1636
01:18:38,800 --> 01:18:41,640
Speaker 1: real matchup issue that's going to be I think the

1637
01:18:41,920 --> 01:18:43,960
Speaker 1: one of the deciding if not the deciding factor.

1638
01:18:43,800 --> 01:18:44,080
Speaker 4: Of the game.

1639
01:18:44,160 --> 01:18:45,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I mentioned it twice.

1640
01:18:45,479 --> 01:18:48,559
Speaker 2: Russell Wilson led the league or was sacked the most

1641
01:18:48,720 --> 01:18:51,640
Speaker 2: of any quarterback last season fifty five times. It was

1642
01:18:51,680 --> 01:18:54,559
Speaker 2: at ten percent secrate. He's at the same sacrate this season.

1643
01:18:55,400 --> 01:18:57,400
Speaker 2: We just heard from at Oliver. He said that even

1644
01:18:57,439 --> 01:19:00,599
Speaker 2: in practice seems like von Miller is starting to get

1645
01:19:00,720 --> 01:19:03,839
Speaker 2: ramped up, where he's playing like that same explosive, bendy

1646
01:19:03,920 --> 01:19:07,400
Speaker 2: and powerful player that we've seen his entire career. And

1647
01:19:07,479 --> 01:19:10,519
Speaker 2: despite all the injuries on the defense, the defensive front

1648
01:19:10,560 --> 01:19:14,519
Speaker 2: is actually relatively healthy. You add Lynn Val Joseph. You add,

1649
01:19:15,240 --> 01:19:17,400
Speaker 2: you know, Rousseau is back. He's maybe not one hundred

1650
01:19:17,400 --> 01:19:19,439
Speaker 2: percent from that foot, but Oliver missed a game. He's

1651
01:19:19,479 --> 01:19:22,080
Speaker 2: not playing or he will play Shack lasson as well.

1652
01:19:22,400 --> 01:19:25,439
Speaker 2: They're what Sean McDermott wants in terms of the rotation

1653
01:19:25,680 --> 01:19:26,080
Speaker 2: up front.

1654
01:19:26,160 --> 01:19:27,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, Jordan Phillips is a big part of that, big

1655
01:19:27,960 --> 01:19:31,120
Speaker 1: part of that as well. Yeah, they losing. Losing Dey

1656
01:19:31,200 --> 01:19:33,519
Speaker 1: Juan Jones and lyn Vaal Joseph does a lot to

1657
01:19:33,560 --> 01:19:36,920
Speaker 1: help that. But also Jordan Phillips has always been a

1658
01:19:36,920 --> 01:19:39,720
Speaker 1: big dude, those big bodies down inside, and it's on

1659
01:19:39,880 --> 01:19:42,519
Speaker 1: those guys this week to set the tone I think

1660
01:19:42,960 --> 01:19:45,240
Speaker 1: for this running game of the of the Denver Broncos.

1661
01:19:45,280 --> 01:19:47,880
Speaker 1: If you can get them, I don't know if you're

1662
01:19:47,880 --> 01:19:50,160
Speaker 1: ever going to get him to stop running the football

1663
01:19:50,560 --> 01:19:53,880
Speaker 1: unless you start playing. Let me just give the finger

1664
01:19:53,960 --> 01:19:58,120
Speaker 1: quotes here complimentary football. If your offense scores a couple

1665
01:19:58,200 --> 01:20:00,000
Speaker 1: of points, a couple of touchdowns in the first half,

1666
01:20:00,040 --> 01:20:03,240
Speaker 1: for three touchdowns in the first half and starts to

1667
01:20:03,240 --> 01:20:05,800
Speaker 1: stretch it out, that will help take him out of

1668
01:20:05,840 --> 01:20:08,320
Speaker 1: the run game as much as stuffing it on first and.

1669
01:20:08,320 --> 01:20:11,760
Speaker 2: Second and directly to the Bills pass rush against the

1670
01:20:12,080 --> 01:20:16,080
Speaker 2: Broncos offensive line. Russell Wilson only has four interceptions on

1671
01:20:16,120 --> 01:20:17,920
Speaker 2: the season, so it's not like you're going to pressure

1672
01:20:18,000 --> 01:20:22,120
Speaker 2: him into a five interception game. And just historically his

1673
01:20:22,520 --> 01:20:26,000
Speaker 2: interception rate in his career is under two percent, which

1674
01:20:26,040 --> 01:20:28,280
Speaker 2: is extremely low. You're trying to get the sacks, You're

1675
01:20:28,280 --> 01:20:29,920
Speaker 2: trying to get him off his base to make a

1676
01:20:29,920 --> 01:20:30,519
Speaker 2: bad decision.

1677
01:20:30,680 --> 01:20:33,160
Speaker 1: He will throw it away, yes, a lot. He'll hang

1678
01:20:33,200 --> 01:20:34,800
Speaker 1: on to it, hang on to it, and he'll throw

1679
01:20:34,800 --> 01:20:37,880
Speaker 1: it away, or he'll eat it. Yeah, and he'll sack him,

1680
01:20:38,080 --> 01:20:41,920
Speaker 1: he'll take a sack. He'll throw it away. Then maybe

1681
01:20:42,000 --> 01:20:43,880
Speaker 1: you can get him a tipped interception or something. He

1682
01:20:43,920 --> 01:20:46,000
Speaker 1: does not put the ball in harm's way. And when

1683
01:20:46,000 --> 01:20:47,760
Speaker 1: he throws it at his deep ball, We've all seen

1684
01:20:47,800 --> 01:20:49,920
Speaker 1: it a million times. We've been watching this guy for

1685
01:20:50,000 --> 01:20:52,759
Speaker 1: a decade in Seattle and then last year even in Denver.

1686
01:20:53,040 --> 01:20:56,680
Speaker 1: He has the ability to throw that big, high rainbow

1687
01:20:56,960 --> 01:21:00,439
Speaker 1: ball out to his point where maybe his receiver get it,

1688
01:21:00,439 --> 01:21:02,840
Speaker 1: but he knows no defender can get it. Yeah, really

1689
01:21:02,880 --> 01:21:04,240
Speaker 1: good at that. It's a great feel for it.

1690
01:21:04,479 --> 01:21:07,439
Speaker 2: And we talked about this during one of the breaks. Actually,

1691
01:21:08,200 --> 01:21:10,760
Speaker 2: how the last month and a half. I think an

1692
01:21:10,920 --> 01:21:14,960
Speaker 2: underrated element to the bills lull on offense has been

1693
01:21:15,400 --> 01:21:18,479
Speaker 2: the difference in field position that when your defense is

1694
01:21:18,520 --> 01:21:20,120
Speaker 2: forcing a lot of turnovers, a lot of three and

1695
01:21:20,160 --> 01:21:25,280
Speaker 2: outs the Bills have in the past first month of

1696
01:21:25,320 --> 01:21:28,280
Speaker 2: this season and then from twenty twenty until then, we're

1697
01:21:28,680 --> 01:21:31,920
Speaker 2: really in a lot of advantageous situations field position wise.

1698
01:21:32,080 --> 01:21:34,320
Speaker 3: If you can get some of those sacks on Russell Wilson,

1699
01:21:34,680 --> 01:21:35,639
Speaker 3: that could be the key.

1700
01:21:35,720 --> 01:21:38,200
Speaker 2: You could have a Russell Wilson game without an interception

1701
01:21:38,520 --> 01:21:41,800
Speaker 2: if he gets sacked four, five, six, seven times. In

1702
01:21:41,880 --> 01:21:43,760
Speaker 2: most of those cases, they're probably going to be on

1703
01:21:43,800 --> 01:21:46,000
Speaker 2: second and third downs. You're going to be able to

1704
01:21:46,000 --> 01:21:47,840
Speaker 2: get the Bills where they don't have to start on

1705
01:21:47,880 --> 01:21:49,720
Speaker 2: their ten yard line like it felt like they did

1706
01:21:49,720 --> 01:21:53,840
Speaker 2: the entire game against the Cincinnati Bengals. So the interceptions

1707
01:21:54,240 --> 01:21:56,479
Speaker 2: probably not going to see them, or shouldn't bank on them.

1708
01:21:56,520 --> 01:21:58,200
Speaker 2: This is not one of those quarterbacks that makes a

1709
01:21:58,200 --> 01:22:01,400
Speaker 2: lot of bad decisions it away, but the sacks will

1710
01:22:01,439 --> 01:22:01,760
Speaker 2: be big in.

1711
01:22:01,760 --> 01:22:03,240
Speaker 1: This Yeah, I think the most you can hope for

1712
01:22:03,280 --> 01:22:06,040
Speaker 1: us maybe a sack strip, But even then he protects

1713
01:22:06,080 --> 01:22:08,960
Speaker 1: the ball really well. But that is it tell that

1714
01:22:09,080 --> 01:22:13,280
Speaker 1: is that's our collision course Friday. We're gonna move on

1715
01:22:13,360 --> 01:22:16,080
Speaker 1: and go to Tailgate Friday, presented by Highmark, Blue Cross,

1716
01:22:16,120 --> 01:22:19,400
Speaker 1: Blue Shield, the official healthcare plan of the Buffalo Bills

1717
01:22:19,400 --> 01:22:21,880
Speaker 1: the tailgate tweets. So we got a couple of them

1718
01:22:21,880 --> 01:22:24,960
Speaker 1: today from Elizabeth. She says, what are you gonna eat

1719
01:22:25,000 --> 01:22:30,080
Speaker 1: on game day? Navajo tacos with bison and pinto bean, filling,

1720
01:22:30,160 --> 01:22:35,559
Speaker 1: three cheese, Mexican Radish slaw, avocado sour cream, salsa, Denver

1721
01:22:35,840 --> 01:22:40,360
Speaker 1: dip with Frank's Hot sauce and veggies and whiskey sours.

1722
01:22:41,400 --> 01:22:42,679
Speaker 1: Go girl. Wow.

1723
01:22:43,160 --> 01:22:45,960
Speaker 2: So that speaks, I think directly to that what we

1724
01:22:46,040 --> 01:22:47,760
Speaker 2: talked at the outside of this show, like what do

1725
01:22:47,800 --> 01:22:50,840
Speaker 2: you do all the way until Monday? And it sounds

1726
01:22:50,880 --> 01:22:53,960
Speaker 2: like Elizabeth has is gonna take advantage of that extra

1727
01:22:54,000 --> 01:22:58,000
Speaker 2: time on her hands and do Navajo tackles, bison, pinto bean,

1728
01:22:58,200 --> 01:23:01,280
Speaker 2: all of that to get all those ingredients into her

1729
01:23:01,320 --> 01:23:04,120
Speaker 2: Monday night dinner before the game or maybe even during

1730
01:23:04,160 --> 01:23:07,200
Speaker 2: the game. She's maximizing her time very well.

1731
01:23:07,240 --> 01:23:11,479
Speaker 1: Mexican Radish slaw, avocado sour creamson. Yeah, there's a lot

1732
01:23:11,520 --> 01:23:14,120
Speaker 1: of stuff. Now, we got one more this one from

1733
01:23:14,400 --> 01:23:18,760
Speaker 1: Ed definitely having delicious wings. Just in case. We'll have

1734
01:23:18,880 --> 01:23:22,320
Speaker 1: Humble Pine nearby, just in case there's a guy. There's

1735
01:23:22,360 --> 01:23:26,040
Speaker 1: a lot of people teetering. And I'll say this, the

1736
01:23:26,080 --> 01:23:30,840
Speaker 1: bandwagon's got some room. People were people were they weren't

1737
01:23:31,160 --> 01:23:33,720
Speaker 1: They were more like, you know, kind of quietly good

1738
01:23:33,760 --> 01:23:35,760
Speaker 1: you know, quiet goodbye where you don't say goodbye to

1739
01:23:35,840 --> 01:23:38,479
Speaker 1: you made just kind of a lot of stuff going

1740
01:23:38,520 --> 01:23:41,240
Speaker 1: on on the bills bandwagons. People are kind of, you know,

1741
01:23:41,800 --> 01:23:43,439
Speaker 1: giving the silent goodbye going away.

1742
01:23:44,000 --> 01:23:46,240
Speaker 3: Previously there was no room, right there used to.

1743
01:23:46,240 --> 01:23:48,599
Speaker 1: Be no room. Now there are people, you know, giving

1744
01:23:48,640 --> 01:23:49,280
Speaker 1: up their seats.

1745
01:23:49,800 --> 01:23:52,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, quietly. So what about you Monday night?

1746
01:23:52,040 --> 01:23:52,519
Speaker 4: What he got?

1747
01:23:53,400 --> 01:23:54,400
Speaker 1: What do you mean food wise?

1748
01:23:54,439 --> 01:23:56,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like, is there anything in particular that's your game

1749
01:23:56,640 --> 01:23:58,280
Speaker 2: day meal or a primetime meal.

1750
01:23:58,479 --> 01:24:00,960
Speaker 1: I'm in the press box whatever the bills are serving

1751
01:24:01,160 --> 01:24:02,960
Speaker 1: what I guess, Yeah, I do. I do have a

1752
01:24:02,960 --> 01:24:05,240
Speaker 1: couple of stops in the parking lot that I go to.

1753
01:24:06,760 --> 01:24:08,519
Speaker 1: I go to Jim's, which is right here in front

1754
01:24:08,520 --> 01:24:10,840
Speaker 1: of the field house, and then I've got a couple

1755
01:24:10,840 --> 01:24:12,439
Speaker 1: of other spots that I kind of stopped by. I

1756
01:24:12,439 --> 01:24:14,599
Speaker 1: don't want to I don't want to. You know, I'm

1757
01:24:14,600 --> 01:24:19,120
Speaker 1: one of the I and for no other for good reason.

1758
01:24:20,080 --> 01:24:23,160
Speaker 1: I go everywhere. I walk everywhere and don't get bothered

1759
01:24:23,240 --> 01:24:23,599
Speaker 1: or whatever.

1760
01:24:23,680 --> 01:24:25,519
Speaker 3: I just you don't get bothered.

1761
01:24:25,560 --> 01:24:29,240
Speaker 1: No, I don't ever get bothered really because everybody's in,

1762
01:24:29,600 --> 01:24:33,280
Speaker 1: you know, putting bills and I'm not six six. You know,

1763
01:24:33,640 --> 01:24:35,760
Speaker 1: people are like, I'm just another I'm just some other Jimo.

1764
01:24:35,920 --> 01:24:38,599
Speaker 1: You probably like that Bills had. It's it's not bad.

1765
01:24:38,720 --> 01:24:39,719
Speaker 1: It does have its moments.

1766
01:24:39,720 --> 01:24:41,679
Speaker 2: I mean, Jim Kelly's a big dude, so like he's

1767
01:24:41,720 --> 01:24:42,560
Speaker 2: he's recognized.

1768
01:24:42,680 --> 01:24:46,759
Speaker 1: Jim. Yeah, Jim shows up and has his routine where

1769
01:24:46,760 --> 01:24:49,000
Speaker 1: he's at his thing, goes into the stadium a certain

1770
01:24:49,040 --> 01:24:51,000
Speaker 1: amount of time before and then comes out and he's

1771
01:24:51,000 --> 01:24:53,080
Speaker 1: always he goes down on the field for a minute

1772
01:24:53,080 --> 01:24:53,400
Speaker 1: as well.

1773
01:24:53,439 --> 01:24:55,280
Speaker 2: And I would say someone like Bruce Smith probably gets

1774
01:24:55,320 --> 01:24:56,439
Speaker 2: recognized pretty quickly.

1775
01:24:56,560 --> 01:24:59,840
Speaker 1: Bruce can't go anywhere. Bruce's like Josh, yeah, people know

1776
01:25:00,640 --> 01:25:04,439
Speaker 1: Bruce is. Yeah, he's and and rightfully, the guy's got

1777
01:25:04,439 --> 01:25:06,680
Speaker 1: more sacks than the NFL name Bay in history. You's

1778
01:25:06,680 --> 01:25:08,880
Speaker 1: got two hundred sacks. The guy, Yeah, he shows up,

1779
01:25:08,920 --> 01:25:10,960
Speaker 1: people turn heads for sure.

1780
01:25:11,280 --> 01:25:14,439
Speaker 2: So my very quickly my tailgate, the Parker Brothers. I

1781
01:25:14,479 --> 01:25:17,440
Speaker 2: go there every home game. They're doing chicken and waffles,

1782
01:25:17,640 --> 01:25:20,639
Speaker 2: which I'm really excited for. They were awesome last year.

1783
01:25:20,800 --> 01:25:23,080
Speaker 2: It was a menu item that a lot of people

1784
01:25:23,080 --> 01:25:26,160
Speaker 2: were asking for. Of course, for the Jets before Thanksgiving,

1785
01:25:26,200 --> 01:25:28,360
Speaker 2: they'll do deep fried turkey, but chicken and waffles.

1786
01:25:28,360 --> 01:25:29,240
Speaker 3: I'm really excited for those.

1787
01:25:29,640 --> 01:25:31,599
Speaker 1: We're gonna take another break. We're gonna come back with

1788
01:25:31,640 --> 01:25:36,120
Speaker 1: your mail bag questions to wrap things up. Steve Tasher,

1789
01:25:36,200 --> 01:25:38,040
Speaker 1: Chris Trapasso, thanks for joining us. We'll be here till

1790
01:25:38,080 --> 01:25:41,000
Speaker 1: the top of the hour. This is Buffalo Bill's Radio

1791
01:25:41,040 --> 01:25:43,040
Speaker 1: and this is One Bill's Live, presented by Kalidah Hill.

1792
01:25:56,600 --> 01:25:58,599
Speaker 1: Walking back to One Bill's Live, it's not time now

1793
01:25:58,600 --> 01:26:01,240
Speaker 1: for Vision to Victory, presented at well I Care, the

1794
01:26:01,280 --> 01:26:05,840
Speaker 1: official eye care provider of the Buffalo Bills. Chris tell

1795
01:26:05,880 --> 01:26:08,000
Speaker 1: me about the Bills offense and they're the way they're

1796
01:26:08,000 --> 01:26:09,879
Speaker 1: gonna win this game if it happens.

1797
01:26:10,200 --> 01:26:12,960
Speaker 2: Spreading around the football. We saw it a lot against

1798
01:26:12,960 --> 01:26:15,920
Speaker 2: the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, which probably the most fans and

1799
01:26:15,920 --> 01:26:18,920
Speaker 2: to me, was the best that we've seen this Bill's

1800
01:26:18,960 --> 01:26:21,560
Speaker 2: offense operate over this three and three stretch over the

1801
01:26:21,640 --> 01:26:24,719
Speaker 2: last six That doesn't mean Stefan Diggs has two catches

1802
01:26:24,720 --> 01:26:27,840
Speaker 2: that like everyone only has a few catches. But getting

1803
01:26:27,920 --> 01:26:31,000
Speaker 2: Kincaid involved again, Josh Allen running the football like he

1804
01:26:31,400 --> 01:26:34,320
Speaker 2: did here on that touchdown against the Buccaneers, and how

1805
01:26:34,320 --> 01:26:37,280
Speaker 2: about more Deanty Hardy, how about Trent Shirfield. They signed

1806
01:26:37,280 --> 01:26:40,840
Speaker 2: those two receivers after flirting with Odell Beckham Junior and

1807
01:26:40,920 --> 01:26:44,439
Speaker 2: DeAndre Hopkins. They clearly wanted to upgrade the wide receiver spot,

1808
01:26:44,880 --> 01:26:47,240
Speaker 2: and instead of doing it with a big ticket item

1809
01:26:47,640 --> 01:26:50,320
Speaker 2: who is in their thirties, they did it with two

1810
01:26:50,400 --> 01:26:53,040
Speaker 2: players in Deanty Hardy and Trent Sherfield, who they probably

1811
01:26:53,040 --> 01:26:56,280
Speaker 2: fell head a little more upside getting them involved. They

1812
01:26:56,320 --> 01:26:58,600
Speaker 2: don't necessarily need to have one hundred yard games. But

1813
01:26:59,080 --> 01:27:01,719
Speaker 2: then suddenly I think things open up for Gabe Davis,

1814
01:27:02,000 --> 01:27:04,559
Speaker 2: for Diggs for the run game. Like you mentioned with

1815
01:27:04,600 --> 01:27:07,280
Speaker 2: the two high safeties, if you're dink and dunking underneath,

1816
01:27:07,680 --> 01:27:11,160
Speaker 2: suddenly they can't just sit back in that too deep

1817
01:27:11,240 --> 01:27:15,120
Speaker 2: safety shell. Spreading the football around makes this entire offense

1818
01:27:15,240 --> 01:27:17,120
Speaker 2: way more difficult to defend, and it can help them

1819
01:27:17,160 --> 01:27:17,639
Speaker 2: win this game.

1820
01:27:17,720 --> 01:27:19,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I think that's what it is. If

1821
01:27:19,439 --> 01:27:20,920
Speaker 1: the Bills don't turn it over, they're going to be

1822
01:27:21,000 --> 01:27:23,439
Speaker 1: really almost impossible to be But Josh does it a lot,

1823
01:27:23,520 --> 01:27:25,439
Speaker 1: and nobody cares when he turns it over as long

1824
01:27:25,439 --> 01:27:27,560
Speaker 1: as they're scoring points. And they don't score points and

1825
01:27:27,640 --> 01:27:30,439
Speaker 1: it becomes a problem and they lose by a single possession.

1826
01:27:30,439 --> 01:27:31,800
Speaker 1: I think that's going to be the key for this.

1827
01:27:31,840 --> 01:27:34,200
Speaker 1: We said it last week and actually was prophetic. You

1828
01:27:34,240 --> 01:27:37,200
Speaker 1: know whoever, if you go down to zero or zero

1829
01:27:37,200 --> 01:27:39,639
Speaker 1: to two in the turnover mark, you're going to lose.

1830
01:27:39,680 --> 01:27:41,680
Speaker 1: And that's exactly what happened to the Buffalo Bills. I

1831
01:27:41,720 --> 01:27:44,160
Speaker 1: think this week they're going to continue to throw the

1832
01:27:44,160 --> 01:27:46,439
Speaker 1: football all over the yard. I think Josh is still

1833
01:27:46,479 --> 01:27:49,080
Speaker 1: going to complete a high percentage of his passes, and

1834
01:27:49,120 --> 01:27:51,040
Speaker 1: I think they're just going to out distance the Broncos.

1835
01:27:51,040 --> 01:27:52,880
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna have too much to handle for

1836
01:27:52,960 --> 01:27:55,400
Speaker 1: him offensively, and they'll be able to make too many plays.

1837
01:27:55,479 --> 01:27:57,479
Speaker 1: So I think that's going to be the way the

1838
01:27:57,520 --> 01:27:59,920
Speaker 1: game goes. I think the Bill's offense, whether they score

1839
01:28:00,080 --> 01:28:03,200
Speaker 1: fifty or not, they're gonna be on the field and

1840
01:28:03,200 --> 01:28:05,240
Speaker 1: they're gonna be efficient, and they're gonna just be too

1841
01:28:05,360 --> 01:28:06,800
Speaker 1: much for the Broncos to keep up with.

1842
01:28:06,920 --> 01:28:09,920
Speaker 2: And I think last week's game against the Bengals we

1843
01:28:09,920 --> 01:28:12,000
Speaker 2: didn't see as much play action. We didn't really see

1844
01:28:12,040 --> 01:28:14,160
Speaker 2: any semblance of a run game from the Bills because

1845
01:28:14,160 --> 01:28:15,080
Speaker 2: they got into that hole.

1846
01:28:15,120 --> 01:28:15,639
Speaker 3: I think at.

1847
01:28:15,560 --> 01:28:19,519
Speaker 2: Home, if you don't start down fourteen to seven or

1848
01:28:19,560 --> 01:28:22,320
Speaker 2: twenty one to seven, then your entire playbook has opened up.

1849
01:28:22,360 --> 01:28:24,360
Speaker 2: You can get James Cook involved like he was starting

1850
01:28:24,360 --> 01:28:27,160
Speaker 2: to get involved in the past game on the outside runs,

1851
01:28:27,200 --> 01:28:31,040
Speaker 2: on inside runs, more balance overall, like you mentioned, without

1852
01:28:31,400 --> 01:28:34,280
Speaker 2: losing the turnover battle by two or three in this

1853
01:28:34,360 --> 01:28:36,320
Speaker 2: game could lead to a Bills blowout and will just

1854
01:28:36,439 --> 01:28:38,880
Speaker 2: lead to the Bills I think down the stretch playing

1855
01:28:38,880 --> 01:28:42,600
Speaker 2: a lot more consistent football, making them again essentially impossible

1856
01:28:42,640 --> 01:28:43,760
Speaker 2: to be when they're playing like that.

1857
01:28:43,800 --> 01:28:46,280
Speaker 1: All right, that sounds good. One more last one from

1858
01:28:46,400 --> 01:28:48,120
Speaker 1: Ed on the tweet sheet. He says that Broncos come

1859
01:28:48,160 --> 01:28:50,920
Speaker 1: into Monday Night's game relatively healthy and the Bills resemble

1860
01:28:50,960 --> 01:28:53,479
Speaker 1: a mass unit with injuries galore and key positions. How

1861
01:28:53,479 --> 01:28:56,599
Speaker 1: do the Bills overcome this mismatch? I think they will.

1862
01:28:56,640 --> 01:28:59,439
Speaker 1: I think they're still better than the physically, better than

1863
01:28:59,439 --> 01:29:01,639
Speaker 1: the Denver. I think they're still going to be the team.

1864
01:29:01,560 --> 01:29:03,759
Speaker 3: To be and what we've talked about.

1865
01:29:03,840 --> 01:29:07,520
Speaker 2: I like the fact that a lot of these backups,

1866
01:29:07,520 --> 01:29:10,280
Speaker 2: second third string players have now gotten a lot of experience,

1867
01:29:10,360 --> 01:29:13,240
Speaker 2: so suddenly they're not deer in headlights when they're asked

1868
01:29:13,240 --> 01:29:15,120
Speaker 2: to be out there making plays on that side.

1869
01:29:14,920 --> 01:29:15,240
Speaker 4: Of the ball.

1870
01:29:15,760 --> 01:29:18,120
Speaker 1: All right, Last one from Kent Holl's son, Drew. I

1871
01:29:18,120 --> 01:29:20,000
Speaker 1: have a question regarding the injuries and curd these past

1872
01:29:20,040 --> 01:29:23,120
Speaker 1: couple of years, as something could be potential systematic or

1873
01:29:23,240 --> 01:29:26,679
Speaker 1: just bad luck. It's just bad luck. These guys are

1874
01:29:26,680 --> 01:29:28,360
Speaker 1: there at the top of the curve, Drew, and I

1875
01:29:28,840 --> 01:29:30,720
Speaker 1: love it that you're asking. But we'll see if they

1876
01:29:30,760 --> 01:29:32,679
Speaker 1: can stay healthy the rest way. We'll see you Monday

1877
01:29:32,720 --> 01:29:34,360
Speaker 1: at noon for a three hour pregame
