1
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:35,280
Speaker 1: These one Bill's Live presented by called Light of Health.

2
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:38,839
Speaker 1: All right, it's the first day of fall, and you

3
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:42,239
Speaker 1: know it if you're here in Buffalo, A rainy, yucky,

4
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:47,519
Speaker 1: chilly day here in western New York as the calendar

5
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:50,720
Speaker 1: flips to the fall season. I wasn't expecting this to

6
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:53,479
Speaker 1: happen this quick, My god, but he hit the light switched.

7
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness. We don't get any kind of buffer

8
00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 1: zone here between summer and fall. What the heck happened

9
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:05,640
Speaker 1: ac yesterday in the furnace today? Man alive, goodness, gracious,

10
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 1: it is nasty. It's nasty out on the practice field.

11
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 1: Steve and I were out there for a short period

12
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 1: of time just before we came on the air, and

13
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 1: it's drizzling sideways. There's a breeze out there. It's a

14
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,120
Speaker 1: little it's a little raw. It is so nasty, a

15
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:25,240
Speaker 1: little raw. Steve came out in his polo shirt, comes outside,

16
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 1: he goes, a jeez, it's called I'm going back in

17
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:29,959
Speaker 1: for a coat. I went and got it. I put

18
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:33,679
Speaker 1: two sweatshirts on. Yeah, yeah, it was nat It was

19
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 1: you know, catches you off guard. And then it's even worse. Right,

20
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 1: We used to it's the same thing, and then you're

21
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 1: just wet, and yeah, you figure it. It's like in

22
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 1: the springtime in the high school sports around Western New York.

23
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 1: You go out, it's colder in the springtime sports here

24
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 1: in Western New York in high school than it is

25
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 1: in the fall for the football season. Because in the fall,

26
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 1: this winner never gives up. Yeah, you come out in

27
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 1: the spring. Thing is sun might be shining. It's like

28
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 1: feels like it's thirty eight and it's like you could

29
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 1: you go out there in like shorts and flipflops, think

30
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 1: it's gonna be nice in the springtime and it's not cold.

31
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 1: You come unprepared. So that's what happened to me today.

32
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:14,360
Speaker 1: I was totally unprepared. I was hoping we could get

33
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:17,520
Speaker 1: to at least turning the calendar to October before we

34
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 1: started dealing with this junk. But here it is. So yeah,

35
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 1: players are dealing with that out on the practice field today,

36
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 1: and coach McDermott addressed the media an hour ago and

37
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 1: basically laid out that the guys that are not practicing

38
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:46,919
Speaker 1: today are Jordan Poyer, Micah Hyde, Dane Jackson, and Jordan Phillips.

39
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 1: The good news is everybody else on the injury report

40
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 1: that was first put out yesterday is participating in practice

41
00:02:55,200 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 1: in some capacity. That includes Gabe Davis practicing, Cam Lewis practicing,

42
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 1: Dawson Knox practicing after not practicing yesterday, Matt Milano a

43
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 1: full participant yesterday. We expect the same today, Mitch Morris practicing,

44
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:16,640
Speaker 1: Ed Oliver, and Tim Settle. So that's kind of where

45
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:20,919
Speaker 1: it is, and it's not ideal going into an important

46
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 1: division game. We know that. And incidentally, Bill's practice updates

47
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:30,960
Speaker 1: are presented by Lee Coom Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine, Phillips.

48
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 1: I would be surprised if he plays hamstring injuries or

49
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 1: no joke, I wouldn't be surprised if if he misses

50
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 1: a few games. Yeah, with the way that thing looked

51
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 1: with him pulling up in the Tennessee game on the

52
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 1: Milano interception, the good news about Dane Jackson was we

53
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 1: saw him out there in a red non contact or

54
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 1: is he not doing anything, but just the fact that

55
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 1: he's out here with his teammates, man, that's a great

56
00:03:55,800 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 1: thing to see. So that was encouraging. But yeah, I

57
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 1: think there is a there is a potential possibility, Steve,

58
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 1: that the Bills go into this game against the Dolphins

59
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 1: with the most experienced man in the secondary being tarn Johnson,

60
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 1: the fourth year man you know out of Weber State.

61
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:27,159
Speaker 1: You could have DeMar Hamlin and Jaquan Johnson at safety

62
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:29,920
Speaker 1: and the two rookies at the corners. You could have

63
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 1: that against the team that's leading the league in passing.

64
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 1: Right now, now, as you and I have discussed, the

65
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 1: Bills do have all of their defensive ends ready to roll. Right.

66
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 1: They're getting Yeah, they're actually despite Jordan Phillip's injury, they're

67
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 1: actually getting healthier because of a net gain with Settle

68
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 1: end at Oliver perhaps being back in the lineup right.

69
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 1: So that would be a help on the interior. And

70
00:04:54,440 --> 00:05:00,280
Speaker 1: if that defensive line has most of the horses, I

71
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:02,839
Speaker 1: think they can help the coverage. To what degree, We'll

72
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 1: have to wait and see. But we've seen this defensive

73
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:12,839
Speaker 1: front determine the outcome of the game to a great

74
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:17,039
Speaker 1: degree these first two weeks. They completely shut down Derrick

75
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:21,360
Speaker 1: Henry last week and they annihilated Matthew Stafford in week one.

76
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 1: They dictated how those games unfolded. And I think that

77
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 1: if you have Settle and Oliver back this week. Even

78
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 1: if you don't have Jordan Phillips, you got three of

79
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 1: your top four, namely Daquan Jones, Oliver, and Settle, and

80
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 1: then Brandon Bryant presumably again as a practice squad call up.

81
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 1: You have those four in the middle and all of

82
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 1: your pass rushers on the edges. Yeah, that defensive line

83
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:49,720
Speaker 1: could have a similar impact on this game as we've

84
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 1: seen them have on the first two. It's gonna be down.

85
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 1: It's gonna come down to Ken to get rid of

86
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 1: the ball in time to take advantage of a secondary

87
00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:04,160
Speaker 1: that's got three backup, four backups playing a completely depleted secondary.

88
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 1: You say that, but you and I were talking, it's

89
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:09,479
Speaker 1: like now you think, Wow, I am so glad the

90
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 1: Christian Benford and Kayer Elam have been getting a lot

91
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 1: of reps in the first two weeks. This is not

92
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:15,160
Speaker 1: going to be a new thing for them. It's gonna

93
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 1: be perfect for them. They're gonna step in just play

94
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 1: every snap instead of every every two series, you know, right,

95
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 1: So that's they're not coming into this thing flat footed

96
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 1: or coal, which is awesome. Nevertheless, it's not Tredavious White,

97
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 1: Jordan Poor and Mica hide out there or even Dane

98
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 1: Jackson or Dane Jackson. So here's the synopsis. You know,

99
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:42,479
Speaker 1: Jaquan Johnson DeMar Hamlin may not be household names even

100
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:46,039
Speaker 1: to many Bills fans, but Jaquan Johnson's in his fourth

101
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 1: season with the Bills. I mean, he's been this defensive

102
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:52,279
Speaker 1: system for three full years plus whatever this year and

103
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:56,280
Speaker 1: DeMar Hamlin, you know what is this is third year?

104
00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 1: I gotta check that is this second or third? I

105
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 1: gotta hear hold on. I think he's it was in

106
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 1: the twenty draft or the twenty one draft, twenty one draft,

107
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 1: so this is his second year now in the system.

108
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 1: But they think a lot of him. And those two

109
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 1: guys have had time on the field together because they've

110
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 1: basically been, you know, the second teamers since they got here.

111
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 1: So you know, how are have they ever seen Tyreek

112
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 1: Hill on a field before while playing defense? Not really,

113
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 1: So that can always be a shock to the system

114
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 1: when you haven't seen that kind of speed up close

115
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 1: and personal. You can watch it on film, but when

116
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 1: it's in front of you, it's different. Right. Yeah, And

117
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 1: here's the thing that's two and I was talking to

118
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 1: we were talking about this. Yeah, those guys have never

119
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 1: been on the field with Tyreek and or Jayleen for

120
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 1: that matter, Jaylen Waddle for that matter. That But like

121
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 1: you said, Hamlin and Jikwan Johnson, those guys have been

122
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 1: in the room with Poyer and High as they're prepared,

123
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 1: as they've prepared for the Chief and the Dolphins, They've

124
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:04,240
Speaker 1: been on the sidelines for those games, watching and hearing

125
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 1: the conversations of those guys coming off. Those two guys,

126
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 1: PAULR And Hide are gonna be in the meetings installing

127
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 1: this game plan. They're gonna be there talking these guys

128
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 1: through it, and they'll probably be on the sidelines of

129
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 1: the game talking them to them between series as well,

130
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 1: giving them, you know, giving them some pointers and saying, hey,

131
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 1: don't be careful when you do that because they might

132
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 1: get by you, that kind of thing. So they're all

133
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 1: in this together, no matter which two of the safeties

134
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 1: are gonna make it onto the field. So it's so

135
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 1: take heart. Nevertheless, there may not be a more challenging

136
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 1: offense for these guys to face in their week one

137
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 1: as this group head takes the field than any other team.

138
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:48,679
Speaker 1: I mean, this is a challenge, no question, about Yeah,

139
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 1: Waddle and Hill have gotten almost sixty percent of the

140
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:58,840
Speaker 1: targets in the passing game. TA has not had to

141
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,680
Speaker 1: spread the ball around much because these guys have been

142
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:07,440
Speaker 1: running open. I mean, you look at their numbers. Hill's

143
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 1: got nineteen receptions, Waddle has fifteen. There's nobody else on

144
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:14,960
Speaker 1: the roster with five or more. Five is the next highest,

145
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 1: and it's Chase Edmonds the running back. And Gasicki has

146
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 1: five catchers in two weeks. So he's going to the

147
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:27,200
Speaker 1: guys that keep getting open. They're breaking games open for them.

148
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 1: So the Bills are the best team in the league

149
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 1: since twenty seventeen in terms of giving up plays of

150
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,560
Speaker 1: twenty yards or more, twenty five yards or more, whichever

151
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 1: one you want to pick. There's still number one. So

152
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 1: who blinks basically is what you're looking at there. You know,

153
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 1: it's hard. You know, in a normal if everybody was healthy,

154
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 1: you give the Bills the edge, even if you think

155
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 1: it's a push offensively, that they're offense is really burst

156
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:03,080
Speaker 1: and emerged onto the scene, and they're leading the league

157
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 1: in passing, and two is playing well if even if

158
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 1: you give it a push with the Bill's offense, which

159
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:08,840
Speaker 1: you know, which I don't know if you can do.

160
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 1: The Bill's defense would come into this thing rolling and

161
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:15,320
Speaker 1: they would have the edge over the Miami offense, even

162
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:20,559
Speaker 1: given Miami's prowess throwing the deep ball. But with the

163
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:24,960
Speaker 1: guys injured in the back end for Buffalo, that changes

164
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:29,080
Speaker 1: the equation a little bit. Yeah, so we'll see. We'll

165
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 1: see if the guys up front can help the guys

166
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 1: on the back end. And yeah, it's gonna make for

167
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:40,080
Speaker 1: an interesting game, I'll say that. So we'll just have

168
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 1: to see where the matchup goes. Yeah. Other news this

169
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:48,960
Speaker 1: came down from the league office. They have affirmed the

170
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 1: one game suspension for Bill's offensive lineman Bobby Hart. For

171
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 1: those that didn't hear, he was levied one game suspension

172
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 1: yesterday for taking a swing at a Titans player on

173
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:07,320
Speaker 1: the way up to the locker room in the tunnel,

174
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 1: missing that player and inadvertently striking a Titans coach. So

175
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 1: those actions were captured on film and he was suspended

176
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:24,439
Speaker 1: for a game. He appealed that suspension, but the league

177
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:28,439
Speaker 1: upheld it, so he will miss Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

178
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:31,440
Speaker 1: He was used last week Steve as a second tight

179
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:35,959
Speaker 1: end slash sixth offensive lineman. You remember last year early on,

180
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:39,600
Speaker 1: Spencer Brown was used in that role as a rookie

181
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:43,240
Speaker 1: a little bit, and they had other guys in that role.

182
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:45,839
Speaker 1: Ryan Bates before he moved into the starting lineup, was

183
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:48,720
Speaker 1: used that way. So interesting that Ken Dorsey went to

184
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:53,000
Speaker 1: that against the Titans last week, employing an offensive lineman

185
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:55,720
Speaker 1: to kind of go to an unbalanced line with the

186
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 1: tight end next to him and call plays out of that.

187
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 1: He is not going to be part of the equation

188
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 1: this week, So there's that. Then we go around the NFL,

189
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 1: which is presented by Kalida Health, the official healthcare system

190
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 1: of the Buffalo Bills, and we've got a game tonight,

191
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 1: an AFC North matchup between the Browns and the Steelers,

192
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 1: and I think most of us are anticipating a low

193
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:31,440
Speaker 1: scoring affair. Both offenses with Jacoby Brissette and with Mitchell

194
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 1: Trubisky have struggled out of the gate, to say the least.

195
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 1: I expect Steve a lot of handing off of the

196
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 1: football tonight, where Naji Harris, Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt

197
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:46,200
Speaker 1: are going to be awfully busy guys. Yeah, I think

198
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 1: both these clubs I'm I've been disappointed in the way

199
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,280
Speaker 1: that Steelers have come out. I had a little more

200
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:57,400
Speaker 1: faith in Mitch Trubisky than maybe it's warranted, but I

201
00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:00,720
Speaker 1: still don't believe that they're playing their best football. I

202
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 1: think the Steelers have got more in the tank. I

203
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:06,160
Speaker 1: don't know that the Browns do with Jacoby brissettic quarterback,

204
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:08,600
Speaker 1: but I think the Steelers are going to try and

205
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 1: find something they can do and do well. Not going

206
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:13,520
Speaker 1: to be easy. Now. Jadeveon Clowney is out on the

207
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 1: front for the Browns, which takes away one of their

208
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:19,959
Speaker 1: bookend tackles, so I you know they're still gonna the

209
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 1: Browns will still be able to get pressure, but I

210
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 1: think the Steelers will have a plan for it. And

211
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 1: I just look for Trubisky to get better. If he does,

212
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:30,319
Speaker 1: they win. But if the Browns can keep him out

213
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 1: of you know, still yeah, not completing and not being

214
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:35,880
Speaker 1: able to go down the field, and yeah, the Pittsburgh

215
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:37,440
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh's got to do something to get the ball down

216
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 1: the field. I would say he has underperformed, yeah, through

217
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:45,199
Speaker 1: the first two weeks, and not for nothing, Steve, but

218
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 1: playing on a Thursday, if he stinks out the joint

219
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:52,559
Speaker 1: tonight against Cleveland. You got ten days to get the

220
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 1: rookie up and ready. Absolutely, if he has a subpar

221
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:04,199
Speaker 1: performance and moving the football and scoring points is a problem,

222
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:07,520
Speaker 1: Mitchell Trubisky could be out of the starting position by

223
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 1: the weekend. Right they've got well, yeah, because think about it,

224
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:14,320
Speaker 1: if they've got the Jets after that, on a long weekend,

225
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 1: on a long week they go Thursday to Sunday for

226
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 1: the Jets. Could happen. You could get Kenny Pickett in

227
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:25,480
Speaker 1: there against Zach Wilson. I could. I could see the

228
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 1: Steelers getting there pretty quickly if tonight does not go well.

229
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 1: I think so too. And I'll say this though, I

230
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 1: trust Mike Tomlin to know what's best for that team,

231
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 1: and if he says Trubisky's best, he knows. Certainly there's

232
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:43,560
Speaker 1: going to be growing pains with Kenny Pickett. But I'll

233
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 1: say this, what I saw from Kenny Pickett in the preseason,

234
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:51,640
Speaker 1: he's pretty intriguing, you know what I mean, He's got

235
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 1: that ability. Now, certainly he's gonna struggle, but you know what,

236
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 1: he overcomes his struggles the same way Josh did. He

237
00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 1: athleticizes himself out of it and makes a play out

238
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:05,960
Speaker 1: out of his struggles, and that's the it factor for

239
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 1: an NFL quarterback, and Pickett seemed to have it in

240
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 1: the preseason. So we'll see how long the leash is

241
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:16,160
Speaker 1: for Trubisky, and it could how Tanaichos could go a

242
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:20,600
Speaker 1: long way in determining that. Speaking of quarterbacks, Chargers QB

243
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert is listed his day to day. He said

244
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 1: he's feeling more comfortable in the wake of that rib

245
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 1: injury that he suffered against the Chiefs a week ago today,

246
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:37,240
Speaker 1: So how effective he'll be in throwing the football, we

247
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 1: won't know until we see him. We're not at Chargers

248
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:44,800
Speaker 1: practice obviously to see how that's going. But torn rib

249
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 1: cartilage was the injury and that is not fun. So

250
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:52,320
Speaker 1: we'll see how effective he is when he takes the

251
00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 1: field again, and we'll see what he's officially labeled on

252
00:15:56,840 --> 00:16:03,080
Speaker 1: the injury report, you know, questionable, doubtful, whatever, not an

253
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:05,240
Speaker 1: easy wanted to come back from, especially, but he had

254
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 1: ten days, or he will have had ten days by

255
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:10,360
Speaker 1: the time he's set to go out on the field again,

256
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:12,880
Speaker 1: so we'll see what that does. Yeah, the thing is

257
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 1: he'll probably feel really good, and I don't know what

258
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:21,359
Speaker 1: his situation has been in practice, And you know there's

259
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 1: a lot of people out there who didn't play football,

260
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 1: no one. It's like to get a rib injury. You

261
00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:28,480
Speaker 1: feel really good after you know, like a week or

262
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 1: ten days, but as soon as you do something strenuous,

263
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:36,360
Speaker 1: you get a quick reminder like sneeze. Yeah. In the

264
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:39,040
Speaker 1: first couple of days, is sneeze are costs? Oh, it's awful.

265
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 1: You can't even go to the bathroom without it hurting.

266
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:45,640
Speaker 1: So after about ten days you feel like, okay, you're

267
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:48,680
Speaker 1: kind of feeling back to normal, but not realize you

268
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 1: haven't done anything strenuous. And then you get out of

269
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:54,240
Speaker 1: bed in the morning he's stretched and it's like, you know,

270
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:59,320
Speaker 1: it hits you. Yeah, forget about throwing hash exactly a

271
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 1: fifteen year out right trying to gun it into the window.

272
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 1: But you know you got you gotta turn your whole

273
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:06,920
Speaker 1: torso drive your hip through the button so we'll see.

274
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:08,879
Speaker 1: I mean, it may not be that bad. Night he

275
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:13,360
Speaker 1: finished the game and there was no brakes, but man,

276
00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 1: oh man, somebody to keep an eye on that makes

277
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 1: that rib injury makes a coward of you. Quick. Yeah,

278
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:24,480
Speaker 1: somebody keep an eye on for sure. And then there

279
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:26,639
Speaker 1: was this report, Steve, I don't know if you saw this.

280
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 1: The forty nine ers thought that they were going to

281
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 1: have a trade partner in the Washington Commanders for Jimmy Garoppolo.

282
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:38,120
Speaker 1: They really thought that's where he was going to end up,

283
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:41,200
Speaker 1: based on the conversations they had with them in the offseason.

284
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:44,119
Speaker 1: And then Washington turns around and swings a deal for

285
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:47,920
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz. Now the Niners are probably thinking their lucky

286
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:50,640
Speaker 1: stars they didn't do that now in light of Trey

287
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 1: Lance's season ending ankle injury, and so Garoppolo is probably

288
00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:00,680
Speaker 1: right where he should be back in the starting lineup

289
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:04,119
Speaker 1: for the forty nine ers. So just saw that and

290
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:06,639
Speaker 1: found that interesting. I don't think it was unusual. A

291
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 1: lot of us were saying Seattle and Washington were the

292
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:11,560
Speaker 1: most likely locations for some of these guys that could

293
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:14,200
Speaker 1: have been on the move, So it's not shocking. I'm

294
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:16,960
Speaker 1: just wondering why it's coming out now. Yeah, I wonder

295
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:19,920
Speaker 1: it's it's not earth shattering that those conversations were taking place,

296
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:24,880
Speaker 1: and it's I guess it has become more common given

297
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:30,680
Speaker 1: the you know, the social media nature of our society

298
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:32,440
Speaker 1: and the way the league is now. Everything comes out

299
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 1: sooner or later because agents talk. But it doesn't surprise

300
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:39,439
Speaker 1: me that those conversations were taken place. I want to

301
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:42,160
Speaker 1: know the nitty gritties of why it didn't happen, who

302
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:45,240
Speaker 1: got involved, and why they said no? What was the

303
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:48,080
Speaker 1: tipping point? And why is it Carson Wentz now instead

304
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:52,399
Speaker 1: of Jimmy Garoppolo. I want to know. I want to

305
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:54,480
Speaker 1: weigh those. Those are the interesting things to me. Why

306
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:56,680
Speaker 1: did one deal go through? Like one of those guys

307
00:18:56,720 --> 00:19:02,159
Speaker 1: better than the other. Wentz always has the higher ceiling,

308
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:06,280
Speaker 1: but consist. But it's a roller coaster with him. Garoppolo

309
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:13,360
Speaker 1: has a His ceiling is known, yeah, and he's limited,

310
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:17,080
Speaker 1: but the floor is good. Is if you have a

311
00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:19,239
Speaker 1: good roster. You wish the floor was higher, but it's not.

312
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 1: You have to have a good roster around him to

313
00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:23,919
Speaker 1: maximize what Jimmy can do for you. He's gotten to

314
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:26,400
Speaker 1: this if you have an average roster, He's not raising

315
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:28,400
Speaker 1: the level of other people. You know what I'm saying.

316
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:30,720
Speaker 1: He's he's gotten to the Super Bowl with the team

317
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:32,640
Speaker 1: as the starting quarterback, and he's gotten to the NFC

318
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 1: Championship game as a starting quarterback. That's pretty good. Um. Now,

319
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:43,080
Speaker 1: certainly Washington doesn't have that kind of roster for him

320
00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:44,320
Speaker 1: to PLoP in the middle of and all of a

321
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:49,399
Speaker 1: sudden take off. But Wentz to roll the dice on

322
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz. That's I think that's a gutsy depending. Now.

323
00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 1: That's why I want to know. I want to know

324
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:01,800
Speaker 1: why they said no right to Jimmy Garoppolo, and why

325
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:06,040
Speaker 1: they said yes to Carson Wentz. Who knows. It may

326
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:09,119
Speaker 1: be a mystery for all time maybe and and a

327
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:11,960
Speaker 1: mystery that, you know what, really doesn't bother me if

328
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:16,080
Speaker 1: we find out or not not that high on the

329
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:21,000
Speaker 1: priority soundly tonight not thinking of this. We wanted to

330
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:24,399
Speaker 1: pass along the initial comments of coach McDermott today as

331
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:26,639
Speaker 1: he addressed the media just before he went out on

332
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:28,959
Speaker 1: the practice field. Kind of gave the four to one

333
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:32,639
Speaker 1: one on the injury situation. So we're gonna let you

334
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:35,880
Speaker 1: listen into that. Here are the first few minutes of

335
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:40,200
Speaker 1: head coach Sean McDermott today addressing the media. Okay, I'll

336
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:43,879
Speaker 1: give you the injury update right now, so these players

337
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:51,160
Speaker 1: will not practice. Jordan Phillips, Dane Jackson, Micah Hyde, Jordan

338
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:55,080
Speaker 1: Poyer and then the rest will be out there in

339
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:58,800
Speaker 1: some way, shape or form. So with that, alternate over

340
00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:09,440
Speaker 1: to you with your questions foot how Conserva, you've got

341
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:14,360
Speaker 1: to face an offense that plan you did last week? Yeah,

342
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:17,560
Speaker 1: you know, we believe in the uh in the next

343
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 1: man up and uh you know we'd love to have

344
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:21,520
Speaker 1: those guys out there. We'll see, we'll see how it

345
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:26,480
Speaker 1: works out here. It's us limited. Yesterday it seems like

346
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:29,480
Speaker 1: he's friending Well, how is he doing this? Yeah? Again,

347
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:30,800
Speaker 1: I'm just like I said earlier, I'm not going to

348
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:33,720
Speaker 1: get into the specific song these guys, but just they'll

349
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 1: be out there in some in some capacity, Catherine, and

350
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:39,600
Speaker 1: we'll see where it goes. Yeah, decision not to walk

351
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:41,399
Speaker 1: through yesterday with that plan or that he's kind of

352
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:43,080
Speaker 1: kind of all the injuries you got money, right, just

353
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:44,680
Speaker 1: a little bit of both a little bit of both

354
00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:47,440
Speaker 1: coming off the short week and trying to get the

355
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:50,720
Speaker 1: guys some rest and then some of the injuries also. Yeah,

356
00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 1: something to watch film and listen to your coaching staff.

357
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 1: But how valuable or our guests or how much of

358
00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:02,320
Speaker 1: a factor is Kayer Christian never facing a guy like

359
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:05,919
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill maybe play into the challenge, the added challenge

360
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:08,119
Speaker 1: of going up against me. Yeah, I mean he's a

361
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:10,399
Speaker 1: he's a you know, once in a lifetime player with

362
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:12,840
Speaker 1: his speed and his ability to you know, go up

363
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:15,600
Speaker 1: for the contested catches and everything. And they've got tremendous

364
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:18,240
Speaker 1: speed on offense. Um, you know, they put a lot

365
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:21,280
Speaker 1: of points and and they do a great job offensively

366
00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:23,399
Speaker 1: scheme wise, and the coach and uh, Mike does a

367
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:26,320
Speaker 1: great job putting them in position to be successful and

368
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:30,720
Speaker 1: and um, so it'll be a big challenge for us. Growth.

369
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:34,439
Speaker 1: Have you seen from Gregorzell here really in the season? Yeah, um,

370
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:36,560
Speaker 1: you know, I think Jay's really picked up where he

371
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:41,040
Speaker 1: left off last year. Very conscientious, uh you know, hard

372
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:46,959
Speaker 1: work or very detailed. He's a pro. Um So I

373
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:50,560
Speaker 1: think he's really making good progress and he's playing confident football.

374
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:53,240
Speaker 1: And um, you know, he and Von have a good

375
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:56,440
Speaker 1: relationship as well, and that's that's helped as well. From

376
00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:58,400
Speaker 1: that relationship was gonna that was gonna be my follow

377
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:00,240
Speaker 1: up question. What have you seen from that relationship ship

378
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:05,840
Speaker 1: that has maybe benefited correct Well, I think just um

379
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:07,800
Speaker 1: you know, seeing it through the eyes of the helmet

380
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:10,520
Speaker 1: Uh is how I like to say it, right, the

381
00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 1: perspective that a veteran player has that's seen a lot

382
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:16,560
Speaker 1: of things flash in front of his face. You know,

383
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:19,600
Speaker 1: here's you know, an overset, here's a here's a player,

384
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:24,719
Speaker 1: a blocker that's you know, profiling you this way. Um,

385
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 1: you know, chips and things that come into place. So

386
00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:29,800
Speaker 1: just I think on the field at least Jay, just

387
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:33,960
Speaker 1: some of those things that come through experience and and uh,

388
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:38,639
Speaker 1: you know coaches, We've got really good coaches that said that,

389
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:41,520
Speaker 1: that that extra gravy on that in the detail that

390
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:44,439
Speaker 1: can come from a player like Vaughan. Uh, it just

391
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:50,440
Speaker 1: helps immensely. Question. We've caught a lot about how it

392
00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:52,119
Speaker 1: took him a little while to get it going. But

393
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:55,919
Speaker 1: do you see in year three, um, the progress you

394
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:59,119
Speaker 1: we're hoping to see. I see momentum really with that

395
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:03,800
Speaker 1: whole group, Um, I do I think Uh, I mean,

396
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:07,560
Speaker 1: you know, we've had a couple injuries there overall when

397
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:11,120
Speaker 1: when healthy, though, I see a good momentum, good progress

398
00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:15,240
Speaker 1: development with that whole group. And I think, um, they

399
00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:18,080
Speaker 1: each they each have their own core set of strengths

400
00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:20,439
Speaker 1: and and bring something different to the table, which is

401
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:25,119
Speaker 1: which is healthy for us specifically an under mess of

402
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:27,320
Speaker 1: what do you think maybe he has made the most

403
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:30,480
Speaker 1: improve about it to get him to the well Well,

404
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:35,600
Speaker 1: I think it starts with really being comfortable with this

405
00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:37,840
Speaker 1: system in terms of what he's being asked to do

406
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:42,800
Speaker 1: and being able to execute that fast. Um. So that

407
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:45,399
Speaker 1: comes over years of getting more and more comfortable with

408
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:49,080
Speaker 1: with the job description, if you will. All right, So

409
00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:51,600
Speaker 1: there's coach McDermott kind of addressing some of the things

410
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:55,400
Speaker 1: and concerning the matchup this weekend with the Dolphins, and

411
00:24:57,040 --> 00:25:00,199
Speaker 1: I think he said it more than once. You with

412
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:06,440
Speaker 1: Waddle and Hill alone, you've got one of the fastest

413
00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:09,160
Speaker 1: offensive units in football. And I don't think there's any

414
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:13,560
Speaker 1: question about that. And I think the thing they're doing

415
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:17,679
Speaker 1: different with Waddle this year than in past years, you know,

416
00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:19,439
Speaker 1: working him out of the slot. He would work a

417
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:24,560
Speaker 1: lot of the short underneath areas, and now they're putting

418
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:26,760
Speaker 1: him in a position to get more yards after the catch.

419
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:31,000
Speaker 1: They're running him on longer routes, and they're using play

420
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:34,639
Speaker 1: action an awful lot. I was surprised because look, if

421
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:36,640
Speaker 1: you look at it on its face, it's like, oh,

422
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:38,600
Speaker 1: they use playing action every once in a while then

423
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:40,320
Speaker 1: I looked it up. They're leading the league in play

424
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:43,359
Speaker 1: action snaps, so a lot of motion. I don't think

425
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:45,560
Speaker 1: there's any other team that uses pre snap motion more

426
00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:48,119
Speaker 1: than them, Steve, and to this point in the season

427
00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:51,600
Speaker 1: it's two games. Granted, they have more play action snaps

428
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:53,800
Speaker 1: than any other team in football. They're trying to make

429
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:56,600
Speaker 1: life as easy as possible for two of to make

430
00:25:56,640 --> 00:26:01,359
Speaker 1: decisions and it's working. Yeah. They're just giving the defense

431
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:04,520
Speaker 1: a lot to think about pre snap so that they

432
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:10,280
Speaker 1: can do enough things offensively before the ball is put

433
00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:14,159
Speaker 1: into play for two to get as much information as

434
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:15,919
Speaker 1: you can about what defense the Bills are in or

435
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:19,159
Speaker 1: their components are in, you know, the Ravens or the Patriots.

436
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:22,639
Speaker 1: They got to make the defense declare what it's doing,

437
00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:25,200
Speaker 1: so too, it can get a head start mentally and

438
00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:28,000
Speaker 1: nowhere he's going to throw the football. That also helps,

439
00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:31,800
Speaker 1: you know, dictate the motion. Pre snap also helps the

440
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:35,919
Speaker 1: Dolphins dictate the matchups they're going to get offensively. So

441
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:38,760
Speaker 1: if they can put waddle in motion to the same

442
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:41,520
Speaker 1: side as Tyreek or away from Tyreek, or use gasiki

443
00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 1: in some way, shape or form, they can kind of

444
00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:48,240
Speaker 1: figure out by trial and error and by film study too,

445
00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:51,159
Speaker 1: they'll know going into the game what matchup they're going

446
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:53,680
Speaker 1: to get on a given play and exploit it. So

447
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 1: that all goes into the stew for the Miami offense.

448
00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:02,480
Speaker 1: But yeah, they they rely heavily on run fakes to

449
00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:08,080
Speaker 1: get guys open and to give twa some time. It

450
00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:11,280
Speaker 1: takes away from the pass rush if people are jumping

451
00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:14,320
Speaker 1: on the run game. Now, if you put now there,

452
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:18,160
Speaker 1: there's no magic elixer. So if they're going to do

453
00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:20,800
Speaker 1: that a lot, there are things the Bills can do

454
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:26,560
Speaker 1: to counter that in a big way. So we'll see

455
00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:28,399
Speaker 1: if the Bills can pull that out. So they that

456
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:30,720
Speaker 1: what they'll do is they could send pressure into the

457
00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:35,640
Speaker 1: run formation to you know, stop the run, and then

458
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 1: on the way to stop the run, you get to

459
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:42,600
Speaker 1: the quarterback. So that kind of thing. There are two

460
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:46,719
Speaker 1: sides to every story and every tactic in the NFL,

461
00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:49,240
Speaker 1: So there's no magic elixer that's going to allow to it.

462
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:51,800
Speaker 1: To be an MVP quarterback, he's gonna have to play

463
00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:55,879
Speaker 1: a multitude of different ways to play well, and teams

464
00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:58,520
Speaker 1: are gonna start forcing him to play left handed and

465
00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:00,679
Speaker 1: left handed he has a left hand, how about that.

466
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:03,480
Speaker 1: They're gonna have to force him to do things he's

467
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:08,760
Speaker 1: uncomfortable doing and do them. Well, that's what it is.

468
00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:13,200
Speaker 1: And right now with Mike McDaniel, I mean, Brownie, you

469
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:15,600
Speaker 1: and I know both know this. Nobody knows exactly what

470
00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:18,359
Speaker 1: this thing's gonna look like with Miami this year. Is

471
00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:20,280
Speaker 1: it gonna look like the forty nine ers, did you know,

472
00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:22,159
Speaker 1: with all their play action and their zone run or

473
00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:24,359
Speaker 1: is it gonna be something hybrid of it? And how's

474
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:26,520
Speaker 1: it gonna look with two or running it rather than

475
00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:28,960
Speaker 1: Trey Lance or Jimmy Garoppolo running it, and with the

476
00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:32,880
Speaker 1: offensive line that the Dolphins employ rather than the Niners.

477
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:36,720
Speaker 1: All of that stuff goes into the mix and we

478
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:39,280
Speaker 1: don't really know exactly what that's going to look like yet.

479
00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:41,440
Speaker 1: Well yeah, because if it doesn't look good, he's chosen

480
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:45,240
Speaker 1: it out and he's trying something else. Right, So it

481
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:47,560
Speaker 1: is a wait and see. It's only a two game sample,

482
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:49,840
Speaker 1: which isn't really enough to go off of to determine

483
00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:53,440
Speaker 1: definitively this is what they are. But early returns have

484
00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:55,640
Speaker 1: been good for them. We have to take a break here, though,

485
00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:58,320
Speaker 1: because when we come back, we're gonna be joined by

486
00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:03,720
Speaker 1: ESPN Fantasy foot Ball guru Field Yates, who's got his

487
00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:07,760

496
00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:41,960
Speaker 1: you know, not quite Josh Allen money, but very happy

497
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:45,560
Speaker 1: to be staying with the ESPN long term and hopefully

498
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:48,240
Speaker 1: leading too many wins on the fantasy field like Josh

499
00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:51,560
Speaker 1: is doing for the Buffalo Bills on the real NFL gridiron.

500
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:55,040
Speaker 1: That's right. So ultimate Fantasy lineup with Field Yates is

501
00:29:55,120 --> 00:30:01,440
Speaker 1: presented by FanDuel make every moment more and and let's

502
00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:05,680
Speaker 1: begin with the Week three lineup here. Field. The Detroit

503
00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:09,120
Speaker 1: Lions have given up a boatload of points this season

504
00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:11,840
Speaker 1: so far, so I'm not surprised to see the quarterback

505
00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:14,480
Speaker 1: you picked here. Yeah, And as a matter of fact,

506
00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:17,360
Speaker 1: little preview, I wanted as much of this Lions Vikings

507
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:20,280
Speaker 1: game as I can get. That begins with Kirk Cousins

508
00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:22,960
Speaker 1: at quarterback. Did not play well on Monday night, obviously,

509
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:25,480
Speaker 1: but some of that was not his fault. I don't

510
00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:27,520
Speaker 1: know how much of the game you guys got to see,

511
00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:30,920
Speaker 1: as obviously the Bills were playing for the first half

512
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:33,200
Speaker 1: of it, and I'm sure you're doing your postgame coverage

513
00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:35,680
Speaker 1: in the second half of it. But Kirk Cousins had

514
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:38,560
Speaker 1: but would have been a seventy three yard touchdown drop

515
00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:41,959
Speaker 1: right through the wickets IRB. Smith Junior. He had other

516
00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:45,320
Speaker 1: plays where his receivers did not do nearly enough for him,

517
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:47,800
Speaker 1: So the box score looked worse than the performance was.

518
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:50,480
Speaker 1: But more importantly, the Lions are scoring a lot of

519
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 1: points and letting up a lot of points. Kirk Cousins

520
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:56,040
Speaker 1: priced at seventy six hundred dollars, it's my quarterback for

521
00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:58,600
Speaker 1: this week. And that's all about the You think this

522
00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:03,440
Speaker 1: Detroit Vikings, you know, the Lions Vikings matchups is some

523
00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:05,600
Speaker 1: sort of magic. You think there's gonna be some big

524
00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:08,640
Speaker 1: numbers in this game. Yeah, I sure do. We'll have

525
00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:10,440
Speaker 1: a couple of the wide receivers in this game in

526
00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:13,080
Speaker 1: our lineup, that much is for sure. But Cousins, I

527
00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:15,240
Speaker 1: think is a reasonable play. Jared Goff as well, But

528
00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:18,600
Speaker 1: Cousins was my preference here at quarterback. And I'll run

529
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:21,920
Speaker 1: right into the running backs. It's Josh Jacobs for the Raiders.

530
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:24,400
Speaker 1: It's been a weird start for this entire Las Vegas

531
00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:26,880
Speaker 1: Raiders team there o and two, which is not the

532
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:30,000
Speaker 1: expectation for a team that spent all that money this offseason,

533
00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:33,160
Speaker 1: and there was some question marks about whether Josh Jacobs

534
00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:36,000
Speaker 1: would remain the guy. You guys may recall during the

535
00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:38,800
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame game, the very first game of the preseason,

536
00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:41,600
Speaker 1: he was playing, which not normal for a guy that

537
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:43,360
Speaker 1: you expect to be a big part of your offense.

538
00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:46,719
Speaker 1: It was mostly thirty four stringers. Beyond that, he's playing then,

539
00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:49,360
Speaker 1: he's playing now is he has twenty nine of the

540
00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:52,400
Speaker 1: thirty four carries by Raiders running back so far. And

541
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:55,840
Speaker 1: you guys saw this Tennessee offense and defense board and

542
00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:59,600
Speaker 1: get the defense in this case up close, and they're

543
00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:01,920
Speaker 1: shrug to do a lot well right now. That includes

544
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:03,840
Speaker 1: defending the run. The Bills didn't have to run at

545
00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:07,280
Speaker 1: all that much last week, but the Titans are allowing

546
00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:11,240
Speaker 1: nearly six point five yards per carry to opposing running

547
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:13,560
Speaker 1: backs so far this year. I suspect that Josh Jacobs

548
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:16,240
Speaker 1: be able to move the ball pretty effectively this Sunday,

549
00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:19,720
Speaker 1: and also mentioned Damian Pierce for the Houston Texans. They

550
00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:21,920
Speaker 1: play the Chicago Bears in a game that I think

551
00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:25,000
Speaker 1: will be relatively low scoring. Now that one of these

552
00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:27,360
Speaker 1: offenses moving the ball at a high clip at this moment,

553
00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:30,120
Speaker 1: But at fifty eight hundred dollars, you're getting a reasonable

554
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:33,320
Speaker 1: price point on Damian Pierce. And in Week one, Rex

555
00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:37,000
Speaker 1: Burked played forty nine snaps, Damian Pierce played nineteen. That

556
00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:40,520
Speaker 1: number went in Damian Pierce's favor. Thirty seven snaps in

557
00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:44,240
Speaker 1: Week two twenty one snaps only four Rex burkeheads. So

558
00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:46,960
Speaker 1: you're getting a guy who's probably gonna be the starting

559
00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:49,440
Speaker 1: running back at a reasonable discount when you see how

560
00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:51,200
Speaker 1: many running backs are going off the board at a

561
00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:55,280
Speaker 1: higher number. Yeah, a high volume guy for sure. Wide receiver,

562
00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:57,360
Speaker 1: all right, this is where you jump on the Vikings

563
00:32:57,480 --> 00:33:01,560
Speaker 1: Lions bandwagon. Let's do it back to back wide receivers

564
00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:04,320
Speaker 1: that have been absolute stars. Justin Jefferson is first. Ninety

565
00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:07,280
Speaker 1: five hundred dollars is the price point. It's a big one,

566
00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:09,800
Speaker 1: but seems reasonable enough to pay off. You guys have

567
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:13,200
Speaker 1: watched this Lions team in back to back weeks really

568
00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:16,120
Speaker 1: struggle to defend the past. This past weekend, they couldn't

569
00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:19,240
Speaker 1: contain really any of the Commander's wide receivers. Curtis Samuel

570
00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:22,280
Speaker 1: light a huge day, John Dotson scored again. Jarry mclauren

571
00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:25,400
Speaker 1: had a decent day as well. Wouldn't surprise me if

572
00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:29,120
Speaker 1: the Lions allowed Jeffin Jefferson to basically do whatever he wants,

573
00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:31,440
Speaker 1: and as we saw in Week one against the Packers,

574
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:36,520
Speaker 1: that can be extremely, extremely valuable in fantasy. Meanwhile, Monroe's

575
00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:38,920
Speaker 1: Saint Brown, who just keeps on going and going and

576
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:41,320
Speaker 1: going for you guys are aware of it right now,

577
00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:44,200
Speaker 1: but for those that may not be. With eight catches

578
00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:47,400
Speaker 1: on Sunday, Monroe's Saint Brown would become the first player

579
00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:51,720
Speaker 1: ever ever with nine straight games of at least eight catches.

580
00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:55,680
Speaker 1: He's been incredible. The Bills have a really really good

581
00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:58,520
Speaker 1: fourth former fourth round pick wide receiver. It looks like

582
00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:01,080
Speaker 1: the real deal and Gabe Davis. The Lions have the

583
00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:03,160
Speaker 1: same thing. They've got a guy in a Monross Saint

584
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:05,280
Speaker 1: Brown that slid through the cracks to the fourth round.

585
00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:09,000
Speaker 1: He has been unbelievable this year. I'm stunned he's still

586
00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:12,280
Speaker 1: priced at only seventy eight hundred dollars, a cliff below

587
00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:14,840
Speaker 1: that elite tier of receivers. It include the likes of

588
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:17,680
Speaker 1: savand Eggs and a Monross Saint Brown and Tyree Kale

589
00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:20,399
Speaker 1: and DeVante Adams Cooper Cup. This guy's the real deal

590
00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:22,680
Speaker 1: and my third rd receiver. This one's where we get

591
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:24,440
Speaker 1: some value, because you got to find some value, right.

592
00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:27,440
Speaker 1: It's Ashton Dulan for the Indianapolis Colts. He can fly.

593
00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:29,840
Speaker 1: Had a good week this past week filling in for

594
00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:32,680
Speaker 1: Michael Pittman. I'm not so sure how this Colts team

595
00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:34,759
Speaker 1: is going to do on Sunday against the Chiefs. Well,

596
00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:36,920
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna lose big. But that could be

597
00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:39,719
Speaker 1: a good thing for Phoenasy, right, because if you're down here,

598
00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:43,479
Speaker 1: you're throwing at a bunch and the Colts, gosh, guys,

599
00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:45,880
Speaker 1: what about talking about disappointments. I think that they might

600
00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:47,360
Speaker 1: be at the top of the list so far in

601
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:49,640
Speaker 1: the NFL. The Bengals also come to mind at oh

602
00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:51,680
Speaker 1: and two, but the Colts at oh one and one,

603
00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:54,560
Speaker 1: they've been a tough watch. If Michael Pittman does not play,

604
00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:57,520
Speaker 1: it only means more opportunity for Ashton Dulan, and he

605
00:34:57,560 --> 00:35:01,000
Speaker 1: paid off this past week. Then there's been a lot

606
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:03,320
Speaker 1: of rhetoric coming out of Atlanta about Kyle Pitts and

607
00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:06,560
Speaker 1: how he has not exploded onto the scene given the

608
00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:09,080
Speaker 1: fact that of their other weapons. But you think he's

609
00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:11,279
Speaker 1: gonna Kyle Pitts at tight end is gonna finally get

610
00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:13,799
Speaker 1: some numbers. And because there has been a lot of saying, hey,

611
00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:16,440
Speaker 1: you know, Arthur Smith's been drilled by the meat is

612
00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:18,600
Speaker 1: saying hey what about him? What about Kyle Pitts? What

613
00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:21,200
Speaker 1: about Kyle Pitts. And he's finally said, okay, okay, kind

614
00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:22,839
Speaker 1: of we'll get him the ball. That's kind of gold

615
00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:26,360
Speaker 1: for fantasy owners, right. Yeah. I gotta tell you what, Steve.

616
00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:31,480
Speaker 1: I have a very very very long held belief that coaches,

617
00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:34,640
Speaker 1: general managers, scouts, assistant coaches, you name it, know so

618
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:37,360
Speaker 1: much more about the game than I do. It is

619
00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:39,360
Speaker 1: never my job to sit here and tell you that

620
00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:42,080
Speaker 1: I know what these guys should be doing more than

621
00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:46,000
Speaker 1: they know what they should be doing. But I believe,

622
00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:48,680
Speaker 1: my heart of hearts that Kyle Pitts needs more than

623
00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:51,839
Speaker 1: two catches and nineteen yards per game. Because Week one,

624
00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:56,200
Speaker 1: two catches nineteen yards, Week two catches nineteen yards. That

625
00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:58,960
Speaker 1: feels unfathomable to be right. I mean a guy who

626
00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:03,600
Speaker 1: if you were to do a draft for a decathlon

627
00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:07,279
Speaker 1: amongst NFL players, Kyle Pitts might be the first overall pick,

628
00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:10,719
Speaker 1: maybe him or DK Metcalf, maybe Josh Allen. Right, I

629
00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:13,160
Speaker 1: guess both Josh Allens would be good picks, the Buffalo

630
00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:16,240
Speaker 1: and the Jacksonville version. But that's what kind of athlete

631
00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:18,280
Speaker 1: he is. He's a one percenter in terms of athletes,

632
00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:22,960
Speaker 1: and he has been what feels extremely unreutilized in my opinion.

633
00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:25,960
Speaker 1: And I'm doing this. I'm trying to manifest that. I

634
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:28,000
Speaker 1: don't want to sound like one of those tarot card

635
00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:31,040
Speaker 1: readers right now, but I'm trying to find a way

636
00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:34,320
Speaker 1: that if I say it enough, it'll translate to the

637
00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:37,399
Speaker 1: Falcons throwing the ball to Kyle Pitts a bunch this week.

638
00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:40,880
Speaker 1: I could use it selfishly, but I think the fantasy

639
00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:43,600
Speaker 1: football community could use it, and I think the Falcons

640
00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:45,520
Speaker 1: could use it because they're all in two right now

641
00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:48,719
Speaker 1: and if they don't get more offensively, it's gonna be

642
00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:52,239
Speaker 1: a long season. As Steve and I were kind of

643
00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:56,320
Speaker 1: going through our preparations for Bills Dolphins this weekend, the

644
00:36:56,400 --> 00:37:01,839
Speaker 1: amount of target share for Jay Waddle and Tyree Hill

645
00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:05,200
Speaker 1: compared to the rest of the Dolphins receiving corps, I mean,

646
00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:08,160
Speaker 1: it dwarfs it. I mean there's nobody on the team

647
00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:11,040
Speaker 1: with more than five receptions after Waddle and Hill, so

648
00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:15,120
Speaker 1: I gotta imagine the volume alone makes him an attractive flex.

649
00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:18,640
Speaker 1: That's exactly right, And I think you're at you're kind

650
00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:22,920
Speaker 1: of risking stepping into or onto the hornet's nest facing

651
00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:26,680
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills defensively. But as you guys know, I mean,

652
00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:29,440
Speaker 1: if there is an area that right now is a

653
00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:32,640
Speaker 1: bit of a depth concern for the Bills, it is cornerback.

654
00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:36,480
Speaker 1: Obviously not Tredavious White for at least two more games,

655
00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:41,160
Speaker 1: and so glad to hear largely positive reports surrounding Dane Jackson,

656
00:37:41,239 --> 00:37:43,319
Speaker 1: but a scary moment for a guy who's been such

657
00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:45,800
Speaker 1: a good player for them. Over the past couple of years,

658
00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:48,479
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, your depth feels a little

659
00:37:48,520 --> 00:37:51,680
Speaker 1: more tested. And the Bills in the first two weeks

660
00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:53,959
Speaker 1: of their season. You know, no one has an answer

661
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:56,080
Speaker 1: for Cooper Cup. So I'm not saying that an ill job.

662
00:37:56,120 --> 00:37:58,279
Speaker 1: They didn't do a terrible job defending him, right, No

663
00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:01,040
Speaker 1: one can defend Cooper Cup. But this will be an

664
00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:03,640
Speaker 1: interesting test for them on Sunday. It's the best one

665
00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:06,720
Speaker 1: two punch the face so far this year at wide receiver,

666
00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:09,640
Speaker 1: and Battle's just really good. I mean, the guy looks

667
00:38:09,719 --> 00:38:11,200
Speaker 1: like the player that we thought he was going to

668
00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:14,160
Speaker 1: be coming into the NFL, and well, it's hard to

669
00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:18,000
Speaker 1: imagine to Al replicating last week's production all that often.

670
00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:20,719
Speaker 1: You know, he's playing with some confidence right now. So

671
00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:23,560
Speaker 1: you don't need a six touchdown day for this Miami

672
00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:26,440
Speaker 1: offense to pay off. You need just a normal day

673
00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:29,600
Speaker 1: for Jill and Battle to pay off. Right, And then

674
00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:33,520
Speaker 1: you come back to the Green Bay Packers defense playing

675
00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:36,480
Speaker 1: against Tampa Bay, which is gotta be a little surprising

676
00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:41,719
Speaker 1: for some people. Tampa Bay with Brady certainly they have

677
00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:45,399
Speaker 1: you know, there's they're off to maybe a rough start,

678
00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:48,360
Speaker 1: but you know why Green Bay Tampa. I mean, is

679
00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:53,080
Speaker 1: this a an Aaron Rodgers play here or what's your

680
00:38:53,239 --> 00:38:58,000
Speaker 1: reasoning this is? Yeah, this is an opportunity, maybe for

681
00:38:58,080 --> 00:39:00,920
Speaker 1: the only time in my life, to have a defense

682
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:03,880
Speaker 1: starting against Tom Brady and feel okay about in fantasy

683
00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:08,000
Speaker 1: football right I mean, tom Brady's projected top ride receivers

684
00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:11,400
Speaker 1: for right now could be Russell Gage, Breshad Pairman, and

685
00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:14,759
Speaker 1: Cole Beasley, who was unsigned at the beginning of this week.

686
00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:19,239
Speaker 1: So it's a different Buccaneers offense beyond the fact that

687
00:39:19,320 --> 00:39:21,640
Speaker 1: Mike Evans is guaranteed to be out and Chris Godwin

688
00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:24,640
Speaker 1: and Julio Jones could be out. Something that's changed in

689
00:39:24,719 --> 00:39:27,080
Speaker 1: a major way this year from last year is that,

690
00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:30,960
Speaker 1: as you guys probably know over the past two seasons,

691
00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:33,799
Speaker 1: no matter what the circumstances were, they can be up

692
00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:35,680
Speaker 1: by four touchdowns with two minutes to go in the

693
00:39:35,760 --> 00:39:37,640
Speaker 1: fourth quarter of the Bucks might still have thrown the

694
00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:40,879
Speaker 1: ball last year. This year, it's a very very, very

695
00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:43,920
Speaker 1: different approach. You know, the Bills are a team, as

696
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:46,719
Speaker 1: you guys know well that they're gonna throw it as

697
00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:48,399
Speaker 1: much as they feel like throwing it because it's working.

698
00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:51,000
Speaker 1: They don't have to have a two thousand yard runner

699
00:39:51,040 --> 00:39:53,840
Speaker 1: for them to be a really great offense. The Bucks

700
00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:56,880
Speaker 1: were that way the past couple of years and this

701
00:39:57,120 --> 00:40:00,759
Speaker 1: year if you go to what we would call neutral situations,

702
00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:04,320
Speaker 1: you know, within seven points, either ahead by seven or

703
00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:08,560
Speaker 1: seven points or behind by seven or fewer points, they're

704
00:40:08,600 --> 00:40:12,880
Speaker 1: still running the football so much. And because of that,

705
00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:15,399
Speaker 1: the opportunity to score thirty five points in the game

706
00:40:15,440 --> 00:40:18,759
Speaker 1: decreases dramatically. So the Packers a rare defense that you're

707
00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:21,920
Speaker 1: okay starting against Tom Brady. Yeah, well, they got to

708
00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:23,920
Speaker 1: figure out their passing games, so use the running game

709
00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:26,320
Speaker 1: in the meantime to try to win football games. And

710
00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:30,279
Speaker 1: with Aaron Jones and the big kid Dylan Man, right,

711
00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:32,680
Speaker 1: I mean, it worked last week in a big way

712
00:40:32,719 --> 00:40:36,799
Speaker 1: for them. So they've scored twenty nineteen and twenty points

713
00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:39,680
Speaker 1: respectively in weeks one and two, and it's usually that's

714
00:40:39,719 --> 00:40:42,600
Speaker 1: not enough to win games, but they're getting it done. Yeah,

715
00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:44,799
Speaker 1: they're Their best offense might be their defense right now.

716
00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:48,000
Speaker 1: Their defensive scored a touchdown. They've only allowed one touchdown

717
00:40:48,040 --> 00:40:51,279
Speaker 1: through two games. That's a heavyweight battle right there. You

718
00:40:51,360 --> 00:40:53,840
Speaker 1: put the Bills offense against the Bucks defense in a

719
00:40:53,920 --> 00:40:56,080
Speaker 1: seven game series. I'd pay money to see that because

720
00:40:56,120 --> 00:40:58,520
Speaker 1: the way those two units are playing right now, I mean,

721
00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:00,560
Speaker 1: that's about as good as it get on both sides

722
00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:02,600
Speaker 1: of the ball, right, all right. That is the Ultimate

00:43:34,760 --> 00:43:40,839
Speaker 1: Utah college student threatened to detonate a nuclear reactor if

765
00:43:40,880 --> 00:43:44,160
Speaker 1: the Utah Utes lost to the San Diego State football

766
00:43:44,239 --> 00:43:47,879
Speaker 1: team last week. The student was a twenty one year

767
00:43:47,920 --> 00:43:51,640
Speaker 1: old woman, and she apparently posted her threat on the

768
00:43:51,719 --> 00:43:57,320
Speaker 1: anonymous social media platform yit jack now. According to the

769
00:43:57,400 --> 00:44:01,760
Speaker 1: police report, the students she would detonate the nuclear reactor

770
00:44:01,920 --> 00:44:05,160
Speaker 1: located on the school's campus if the University of Utah

771
00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:09,680
Speaker 1: football team did not win their game later that night. Fortunately,

772
00:44:09,719 --> 00:44:17,960
Speaker 1: the Ute thirty five to seven. But the person making

773
00:44:18,040 --> 00:44:20,919
Speaker 1: the threat in this story the twenty one year old

774
00:44:21,200 --> 00:44:25,200
Speaker 1: female student. She's an engineering student at the school, attends

775
00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:28,879
Speaker 1: class in the same building where they house a very

776
00:44:29,160 --> 00:44:32,960
Speaker 1: small nuclear reactor. According to the report, it's only about

777
00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:37,439
Speaker 1: the size of a microwave oven. But that doesn't change

778
00:44:37,480 --> 00:44:41,680
Speaker 1: the fact that she has now been booked on second

779
00:44:41,760 --> 00:44:46,000
Speaker 1: degree felony charges of a threat of terrorism. How does

780
00:44:46,440 --> 00:44:50,440
Speaker 1: Engineering students are usually pretty intelligent, right, book smart obviously,

781
00:44:51,360 --> 00:44:55,080
Speaker 1: I mean not streets smart, though, what are you doing?

782
00:44:55,360 --> 00:44:58,759
Speaker 1: People are nuts? Man? Absolutely, there is no bottom and

783
00:44:58,880 --> 00:45:03,040
Speaker 1: why but human condition will take us. This defies any

784
00:45:03,120 --> 00:45:06,239
Speaker 1: and all logic for me. It really does like you

785
00:45:06,400 --> 00:45:09,120
Speaker 1: got your whack a moles out there that might do

786
00:45:09,280 --> 00:45:13,040
Speaker 1: something like this a twenty one year old engineering student.

787
00:45:13,160 --> 00:45:16,879
Speaker 1: I mean, you're months away from graduation and you're gonna

788
00:45:16,960 --> 00:45:19,640
Speaker 1: throw it away because you're worried about the football team

789
00:45:19,719 --> 00:45:24,600
Speaker 1: winning or losing. Yeah, like that does. Somebody's got to

790
00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:27,640
Speaker 1: help me with that. That does speak to at least

791
00:45:28,160 --> 00:45:33,960
Speaker 1: a slight a slight problem with their priorities, if not

792
00:45:34,080 --> 00:45:41,160
Speaker 1: a catastrophic problem with the priorities. I'm like, I'm dumbfounded

793
00:45:41,200 --> 00:45:44,200
Speaker 1: by it. I really am. You're an engineering student, you

794
00:45:44,320 --> 00:45:47,640
Speaker 1: got a bone. We need engineers in this country. It's

795
00:45:47,760 --> 00:45:52,000
Speaker 1: like that is like science technology. You step out of college,

796
00:45:52,040 --> 00:45:55,400
Speaker 1: you step into a job. Engineering and mathematics people are

797
00:45:55,440 --> 00:45:59,000
Speaker 1: coming after you. You're not going out seeking an employer,

798
00:45:59,160 --> 00:46:02,719
Speaker 1: and you're worried about what the football team losing to

799
00:46:02,880 --> 00:46:06,640
Speaker 1: San Diego State. Point spread of the Utah State, San

800
00:46:06,680 --> 00:46:12,080
Speaker 1: Diego State. We are we are lost. I read the headline.

801
00:46:12,120 --> 00:46:14,560
Speaker 1: I'm like, this is a joke, right right, Like this

802
00:46:14,719 --> 00:46:17,920
Speaker 1: has got to be a joke. And then I was like,

803
00:46:18,120 --> 00:46:21,120
Speaker 1: oh damn, there is a nuclear reactor on the Utah campus.

804
00:46:21,480 --> 00:46:24,760
Speaker 1: And then so then what's the blowback? Now? The Utah

805
00:46:24,800 --> 00:46:28,080
Speaker 1: school officials are like, yes, we do have a nuclear

806
00:46:28,160 --> 00:46:30,880
Speaker 1: reactor on campus. It's only the size of a microwave.

807
00:46:31,080 --> 00:46:34,040
Speaker 1: It's been since here since nineteen seventy two's been here

808
00:46:34,160 --> 00:46:38,240
Speaker 1: for fifty years. You know, we save on heating bills

809
00:46:38,280 --> 00:46:42,640
Speaker 1: with whatever. Whatever. It's Yeah, it's a great it's a

810
00:46:42,880 --> 00:46:46,759
Speaker 1: it's a teaching mechanism, right, you got teaching too. Yeah.

811
00:46:46,840 --> 00:46:49,640
Speaker 1: So and there's all. And believe me that I've read

812
00:46:49,680 --> 00:46:52,319
Speaker 1: the article. There's there's a ton there's layer after layer

813
00:46:52,400 --> 00:46:57,520
Speaker 1: after layer of security and safety precautions around this thing.

814
00:46:57,880 --> 00:47:00,200
Speaker 1: Oh well, you can't make threats like this. But it

815
00:47:00,280 --> 00:47:04,279
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. Yeah, I mean you don't have to follow through.

816
00:47:04,480 --> 00:47:08,240
Speaker 1: You're just putting that out there. They're coming down hard,

817
00:47:08,520 --> 00:47:11,120
Speaker 1: so you will be so mad, Like the Feds are

818
00:47:11,160 --> 00:47:13,080
Speaker 1: going to be in on this, you know what I mean,

819
00:47:13,200 --> 00:47:15,640
Speaker 1: Like a wo wod you say and well they should.

820
00:47:16,239 --> 00:47:18,960
Speaker 1: I mean you're talking about and well, it's domestic terrorism.

821
00:47:19,040 --> 00:47:23,320
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Well yeah, that's like nine that's like a

822
00:47:23,440 --> 00:47:26,480
Speaker 1: thousand different laws that have been broken. To me, I

823
00:47:26,520 --> 00:47:29,640
Speaker 1: don't know what they are, but that's well, domestic terrorism

824
00:47:30,040 --> 00:47:33,480
Speaker 1: is starting with this just playing wrong, right, And so

825
00:47:34,880 --> 00:47:38,160
Speaker 1: this twenty one year old engineering student, her career is

826
00:47:38,200 --> 00:47:43,120
Speaker 1: over before it started. What is she doing? Yeah? I was.

827
00:47:43,400 --> 00:47:46,479
Speaker 1: I was blown away by that. Like, like I said,

828
00:47:47,520 --> 00:47:49,320
Speaker 1: we all know we got our share of wackos in

829
00:47:49,400 --> 00:47:51,879
Speaker 1: this country. You know, we have more than our share

830
00:47:51,960 --> 00:47:54,560
Speaker 1: list that might consider something like that, But a twenty

831
00:47:54,560 --> 00:47:57,800
Speaker 1: one year old engineering I mean, I was just a

832
00:47:58,040 --> 00:48:03,480
Speaker 1: football game. We're the world leader in way goes. But yeah,

833
00:48:03,640 --> 00:48:09,120
Speaker 1: it's yeah, even the the spectrum of our zaninist here

834
00:48:09,760 --> 00:48:15,279
Speaker 1: is being expanded, yeah, tested every day, the entire Yes,

835
00:48:15,360 --> 00:48:17,279
Speaker 1: we are seeing things that are beyond the ends of

836
00:48:17,320 --> 00:48:21,800
Speaker 1: our spectrum right now. I was just I had to

837
00:48:21,880 --> 00:48:24,640
Speaker 1: read it twice. I couldn't. I couldn't wrap my head

838
00:48:24,640 --> 00:48:27,320
Speaker 1: around that one. I was just like, really an engineer,

839
00:48:27,400 --> 00:48:30,560
Speaker 1: I couldn't believe it. All right, I think we've spent

840
00:48:30,640 --> 00:48:32,440
Speaker 1: more than enough time on that, but I just I

841
00:48:32,560 --> 00:48:35,360
Speaker 1: had to put it out there because I was just like, listen,

842
00:48:35,560 --> 00:48:37,879
Speaker 1: I think you and I realize, I mean, as much

843
00:48:37,920 --> 00:48:39,879
Speaker 1: as we care about this because we it's our job.

844
00:48:41,120 --> 00:48:43,600
Speaker 1: We're we're this is us. We are doing this for

845
00:48:43,640 --> 00:48:47,040
Speaker 1: our football football Yeah right, but we're in the toy

846
00:48:47,160 --> 00:48:50,960
Speaker 1: department here. Yeah, I know, right, I mean we're Well,

847
00:48:50,960 --> 00:48:53,200
Speaker 1: that's why when I see someone like an engineering student

848
00:48:53,880 --> 00:48:56,880
Speaker 1: venturing into this world. But that kind of technology engineering

849
00:48:56,920 --> 00:49:00,399
Speaker 1: and mathemis stem is, that's like the business end. Yeah,

850
00:49:01,080 --> 00:49:03,120
Speaker 1: you're going to be successful if you just stay in

851
00:49:03,200 --> 00:49:07,120
Speaker 1: your lane. That's important stuff. Right, Yeah, that's not that's

852
00:49:07,200 --> 00:49:13,640
Speaker 1: not over under on the Jacksonville Houston game. Right, I

853
00:49:13,840 --> 00:49:17,520
Speaker 1: couldn't believe it. That's amazing, crazy, crazy story. We have

854
00:49:17,640 --> 00:49:19,560
Speaker 1: to take a break here. When we come back, we'll

855
00:49:19,640 --> 00:49:23,000
Speaker 1: get some info on what has made the Dolphins so

856
00:49:23,120 --> 00:49:26,160
Speaker 1: successful out of the gate under Mike McDaniel from our

857
00:49:26,200 --> 00:49:30,480
Speaker 1: good friend Armando Salgero. He's coming our way next here

858
00:49:30,520 --> 00:49:32,560
Speaker 1: on One Bill's Live presented by Kalid to Health. It's

859
00:49:32,560 --> 00:50:19,200
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill's Radio. These One Bills Live presented by Light

860
00:50:19,280 --> 00:50:23,160
Speaker 1: to Health. Our number two here on a Thursday, as

861
00:50:23,200 --> 00:50:25,480
Speaker 1: we close in on the Week three match up between

862
00:50:25,480 --> 00:50:27,480
Speaker 1: the Bills and the Dolphins. First division game of the

863
00:50:27,560 --> 00:50:31,279
Speaker 1: year for the Bills, I think, yeah, and for the

864
00:50:31,320 --> 00:50:34,400
Speaker 1: Dolphins too. Oh no, they had the Patriots, had the

865
00:50:34,440 --> 00:50:37,960
Speaker 1: Patriots Week one first division game for the Bills, and

866
00:50:38,000 --> 00:50:40,640
Speaker 1: then they don't have another one till like week twelve,

867
00:50:41,120 --> 00:50:43,600
Speaker 1: So go figure that on the schedule. But to talk

868
00:50:43,680 --> 00:50:46,799
Speaker 1: more about Bills Dolphins with us is OutKick sing your

869
00:50:46,880 --> 00:50:51,360
Speaker 1: NFL writer Armando Saligaro joining the show. Good to have

870
00:50:51,440 --> 00:50:54,760
Speaker 1: you back, Armando. How you doing. It's always a pleasure

871
00:50:54,760 --> 00:50:57,840
Speaker 1: to be with you guys. Always, It's like a cool

872
00:50:57,960 --> 00:51:01,640
Speaker 1: breeze during my Florida life. Yeah, well, we got plenty

873
00:51:01,640 --> 00:51:03,640
Speaker 1: of cool breezes to share here. On the first day

874
00:51:03,640 --> 00:51:06,000
Speaker 1: of fall in Western New York that came in like

875
00:51:06,080 --> 00:51:09,200
Speaker 1: a roar. So I'll be all too happy to get

876
00:51:09,280 --> 00:51:12,800
Speaker 1: down there this weekend. But let let's begin here, Armando

877
00:51:12,920 --> 00:51:19,440
Speaker 1: with the Dolphins. So ta looks completely changed, like everything

878
00:51:19,560 --> 00:51:23,640
Speaker 1: just clicked into place. How much credit do you give

879
00:51:23,840 --> 00:51:27,120
Speaker 1: coach McDaniel for that, you know, with the institution of

880
00:51:27,200 --> 00:51:31,040
Speaker 1: the pre snap motion and the play action to kind

881
00:51:31,080 --> 00:51:36,080
Speaker 1: of make life as easy as possible for him. So

882
00:51:36,920 --> 00:51:39,319
Speaker 1: let me back you up a little bit. Chris if

883
00:51:39,360 --> 00:51:49,160
Speaker 1: I may sure looks completely changed for one half of football, Okay,

884
00:51:49,800 --> 00:51:54,919
Speaker 1: and they've played eight excuse me, they've played two and four.

885
00:51:55,360 --> 00:51:59,279
Speaker 1: So he looked like the same to ah in the

886
00:51:59,440 --> 00:52:04,520
Speaker 1: opener against New England. He looked like the same Ta

887
00:52:04,640 --> 00:52:09,600
Speaker 1: we've seen before in the first half against Baltimore. In

888
00:52:09,840 --> 00:52:12,759
Speaker 1: the second half and especially in the fourth quarter, he

889
00:52:12,840 --> 00:52:18,240
Speaker 1: went off and that looked amazing. And so the question

890
00:52:18,360 --> 00:52:23,160
Speaker 1: now is is that fourth quarter two is that the

891
00:52:23,280 --> 00:52:26,360
Speaker 1: one that the Dolphins are getting the rest of the

892
00:52:26,520 --> 00:52:30,640
Speaker 1: season or was that a one off? And you know,

893
00:52:32,040 --> 00:52:35,719
Speaker 1: a broken clock is right twice a day, that kind

894
00:52:35,760 --> 00:52:38,600
Speaker 1: of thing. So I don't know, I'm not ready to,

895
00:52:39,560 --> 00:52:42,960
Speaker 1: you know, just say everything we've seen for the last

896
00:52:43,000 --> 00:52:45,560
Speaker 1: two and a half years is wrong, and what we

897
00:52:45,680 --> 00:52:49,440
Speaker 1: saw in the fourth quarter is right. Having said that,

898
00:52:50,320 --> 00:52:53,719
Speaker 1: it was pretty amazing. It was Dan Marino esque. Yeah,

899
00:52:53,800 --> 00:52:56,920
Speaker 1: and it looked as though maybe, and I think if

900
00:52:56,960 --> 00:52:59,400
Speaker 1: you spin it to the positive for the Dolphins, maybe

901
00:52:59,520 --> 00:53:03,320
Speaker 1: that's what one game against the Patriots is what it

902
00:53:03,400 --> 00:53:06,000
Speaker 1: took for them to find out how the best way

903
00:53:06,040 --> 00:53:11,200
Speaker 1: to use Jalen Waddle and Tyreek Hill together and Giseki

904
00:53:11,280 --> 00:53:14,000
Speaker 1: and those guys, and maybe That's how long it took

905
00:53:14,080 --> 00:53:17,160
Speaker 1: Mike McDaniel to realize, Hey, if we got these guys,

906
00:53:17,200 --> 00:53:18,800
Speaker 1: we got to air it out and just cut it

907
00:53:18,920 --> 00:53:21,800
Speaker 1: loose a little bit. Is there you know, a prevailing

908
00:53:21,920 --> 00:53:24,200
Speaker 1: thought that they finally figured it out with these guys

909
00:53:24,239 --> 00:53:25,920
Speaker 1: and they're just gonna throw it deep a lot more

910
00:53:26,000 --> 00:53:29,520
Speaker 1: than they've been they have in the past. Oh my gosh, yes,

911
00:53:29,840 --> 00:53:34,279
Speaker 1: I mean that team it's attract me. You know, there

912
00:53:34,520 --> 00:53:39,480
Speaker 1: is no covering Tyreek Hill deep unless you are, you know,

913
00:53:40,440 --> 00:53:46,279
Speaker 1: too deep the entire game and just refusing to let

914
00:53:46,400 --> 00:53:49,480
Speaker 1: him do that. But then the other thing is the

915
00:53:49,600 --> 00:53:54,239
Speaker 1: Dolphins have other weapons. Waddle is also a speedster, you know,

916
00:53:54,600 --> 00:53:59,080
Speaker 1: Mike Gisicki is a red zone threat even when Tuah

917
00:53:59,160 --> 00:54:04,279
Speaker 1: throws it, you know, twelve twelve yards higher than his

918
00:54:04,400 --> 00:54:08,719
Speaker 1: head because he'll catch it, as he showed. It's it's

919
00:54:08,800 --> 00:54:12,600
Speaker 1: it's a pretty impressive playmaking group that they have gathered.

920
00:54:13,239 --> 00:54:17,360
Speaker 1: And you know, it would be bad news for a

921
00:54:17,480 --> 00:54:23,759
Speaker 1: team perhaps that has some secondary injuries, and yet the

922
00:54:23,920 --> 00:54:27,799
Speaker 1: volume has overwhelmingly gone to Waddle and Hill. I mean,

923
00:54:27,840 --> 00:54:30,279
Speaker 1: there's no other player on the team that's got more

924
00:54:30,360 --> 00:54:34,000
Speaker 1: than five catches. And I guess if those are the

925
00:54:34,000 --> 00:54:37,360
Speaker 1: guys getting open, He'll hell throw it to him. Is

926
00:54:37,400 --> 00:54:40,640
Speaker 1: there anything that's being said about spreading the wealth or

927
00:54:40,680 --> 00:54:42,759
Speaker 1: they're just saying, Wow, as long as they keep getting open,

928
00:54:42,800 --> 00:54:46,759
Speaker 1: I'm gonna keep chucking it to him. Yeah. Absolutely. Defenses

929
00:54:46,800 --> 00:54:52,160
Speaker 1: will decide that, right, So eventually, defensive coordinators will say,

930
00:54:53,960 --> 00:54:57,840
Speaker 1: I'm not thrilled with Tyreek Hill catching ten passes in

931
00:54:57,920 --> 00:55:02,480
Speaker 1: a game and Jalen Waddle catching eleven. Let's maybe, you know,

932
00:55:02,760 --> 00:55:06,160
Speaker 1: shut one of those guys down and take our chances

933
00:55:06,239 --> 00:55:12,400
Speaker 1: with Cedric Wilson and others the checkdown perhaps, but that

934
00:55:12,520 --> 00:55:16,239
Speaker 1: will be decided by defensive coordinators and how they cover

935
00:55:16,400 --> 00:55:21,279
Speaker 1: these guys. It's interesting because the Baltimore Ravens came into

936
00:55:21,360 --> 00:55:24,680
Speaker 1: this game kind of beat up in the secondary and

937
00:55:25,000 --> 00:55:28,759
Speaker 1: kind of young in the secondary, and Marcus Peters playing

938
00:55:28,840 --> 00:55:35,120
Speaker 1: his first game, and they didn't really act like they

939
00:55:35,200 --> 00:55:39,239
Speaker 1: were too afraid of the Dolphins, you know, getting behind them.

940
00:55:39,360 --> 00:55:42,919
Speaker 1: And guess what, the Dolphins got behind them a lot.

941
00:55:44,840 --> 00:55:47,560
Speaker 1: Why do you think it took at least maybe a

942
00:55:47,640 --> 00:55:50,000
Speaker 1: half for the Dolphins to figure it out or did

943
00:55:50,080 --> 00:55:52,920
Speaker 1: the Baltimore Ravens just kind of turn it off? I mean,

944
00:55:52,960 --> 00:55:55,719
Speaker 1: I know there was a couple of blown coverages that

945
00:55:55,880 --> 00:56:00,640
Speaker 1: led to the long touchdowns, but nevertheless, the Ravens did

946
00:56:00,840 --> 00:56:02,920
Speaker 1: get up on top of them by twenty one going

947
00:56:02,960 --> 00:56:05,960
Speaker 1: into the fourth quarter. What led to that and why

948
00:56:06,080 --> 00:56:09,120
Speaker 1: you know, even the third quarter, the Ravens were still

949
00:56:09,160 --> 00:56:13,400
Speaker 1: making some hay. Yeah, for three quarters, it was the

950
00:56:13,520 --> 00:56:18,600
Speaker 1: Dolphins secondary and defense that was curiously absent. You know,

951
00:56:18,760 --> 00:56:24,719
Speaker 1: they they were struggling, and all of a sudden in

952
00:56:24,840 --> 00:56:28,359
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. Desperation is a is a wonderful thing.

953
00:56:28,600 --> 00:56:31,360
Speaker 1: If if you start to be desperate enough and you

954
00:56:31,440 --> 00:56:34,040
Speaker 1: start to do things you haven't done before, you might

955
00:56:34,120 --> 00:56:37,040
Speaker 1: get results you haven't gotten before. And that's exactly what

956
00:56:37,200 --> 00:56:42,439
Speaker 1: happened with the Miami Dolphins. Meanwhile, the Ravens they didn't

957
00:56:42,440 --> 00:56:46,200
Speaker 1: stop scoring. Now, I mean they had like a sixty

958
00:56:46,280 --> 00:56:51,880
Speaker 1: yard seventy yard run from the quarterback position on an RPO.

959
00:56:52,920 --> 00:56:57,120
Speaker 1: You know that's hard to do right and right off tackle,

960
00:56:57,239 --> 00:57:01,359
Speaker 1: no less, and so they were doing They didn't lose

961
00:57:01,480 --> 00:57:05,840
Speaker 1: that game on offense. It was definitely, you know, the

962
00:57:06,040 --> 00:57:08,520
Speaker 1: defense that I don't know if they shut it down

963
00:57:08,680 --> 00:57:12,160
Speaker 1: or they didn't expect that the Dolphins could go off

964
00:57:12,280 --> 00:57:16,600
Speaker 1: like that. I don't think anybody would, but now you

965
00:57:16,720 --> 00:57:19,560
Speaker 1: know it's out there. The narrative is out there too,

966
00:57:20,080 --> 00:57:23,320
Speaker 1: is the second coming of Dan Marino, and those two

967
00:57:23,520 --> 00:57:28,960
Speaker 1: receivers are impossible to cover deep. What flipping around to

968
00:57:29,080 --> 00:57:31,760
Speaker 1: the defensive side of the ball, Armando, What is going

969
00:57:31,880 --> 00:57:37,680
Speaker 1: on with Miami's pass rush? They've got problems here. I mean,

970
00:57:37,720 --> 00:57:40,640
Speaker 1: they're thirty first in the league and pressure rate, and

971
00:57:40,880 --> 00:57:44,960
Speaker 1: yet they've blitzed thirty nine percent of the time, the

972
00:57:45,040 --> 00:57:47,080
Speaker 1: sixth highest rate in the NFL, and they have two

973
00:57:47,120 --> 00:57:50,640
Speaker 1: sacks and seven quarterback pressures to show for it. What's

974
00:57:50,720 --> 00:57:57,040
Speaker 1: missing there? Well, they expect Jalen Phillips to be great,

975
00:57:57,480 --> 00:58:04,800
Speaker 1: not good, and he hasn't been yet. That's problematic. Jalen Phillips,

976
00:58:04,880 --> 00:58:09,520
Speaker 1: for Buffalo fans, is the player that the University of Miami,

977
00:58:10,320 --> 00:58:15,280
Speaker 1: you know, pass rusher that the Dolphins picked eighteen, and

978
00:58:15,440 --> 00:58:19,080
Speaker 1: then the Bills went later on and picked Greg Grusseau

979
00:58:19,160 --> 00:58:21,880
Speaker 1: from the University of Miami. Those two guys were at

980
00:58:21,920 --> 00:58:26,440
Speaker 1: the University of Miami at the same time chasing acc quarterbacks.

981
00:58:26,760 --> 00:58:32,600
Speaker 1: So he has to be outstanding and he hasn't been.

982
00:58:33,320 --> 00:58:37,960
Speaker 1: And eventually, I think we talked earlier about how defensive

983
00:58:38,040 --> 00:58:42,439
Speaker 1: coordinators decide to do things to take stuff away. Well,

984
00:58:43,040 --> 00:58:48,120
Speaker 1: for example, the Ravens worked all off season on stopping

985
00:58:48,320 --> 00:58:53,200
Speaker 1: the Dolphins zero blitzes and other blitzes, and so when

986
00:58:53,280 --> 00:58:56,240
Speaker 1: you work on it for that long, it starts to

987
00:58:56,360 --> 00:58:59,960
Speaker 1: be second nature. And it, you know, they're blocking up

988
00:59:00,120 --> 00:59:06,400
Speaker 1: front was pretty good. What do you think? Let so,

989
00:59:07,320 --> 00:59:10,600
Speaker 1: why did Miami continue? Did they stop doing that in

990
00:59:10,680 --> 00:59:13,440
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter? Did Miami change their tactics during the

991
00:59:13,840 --> 00:59:15,960
Speaker 1: game to get back in it? You know? And what

992
00:59:16,040 --> 00:59:18,120
Speaker 1: have they done to try and help this defense get

993
00:59:18,160 --> 00:59:20,680
Speaker 1: back to where it was? Certainly you know, Xavian Howard

994
00:59:20,760 --> 00:59:25,120
Speaker 1: and and uh the other corner you know, not being

995
00:59:25,200 --> 00:59:29,520
Speaker 1: healthy that changes is Hayron Jones? Yeah, Byron Jones? Uh,

996
00:59:30,440 --> 00:59:34,360
Speaker 1: what did Mia? What's Miami doing to shore up you

997
00:59:34,440 --> 00:59:38,200
Speaker 1: know the problems they've had defensively, Well, they had a

998
00:59:38,360 --> 00:59:43,120
Speaker 1: lineup change at you know, at the nickel corner in

999
00:59:43,400 --> 00:59:48,160
Speaker 1: game in and the way Josh Boyer, the defensive coordinator,

1000
00:59:48,200 --> 00:59:52,120
Speaker 1: has explained it is he's thinking of his nickel corners

1001
00:59:52,280 --> 00:59:58,400
Speaker 1: as pictures, and the thinking is certain pictures are better

1002
00:59:58,520 --> 01:00:02,280
Speaker 1: against certain batters, and then they're worse against other batters.

1003
01:00:02,680 --> 01:00:06,800
Speaker 1: And he decided that Nick Needham was not good against

1004
01:00:06,880 --> 01:00:11,320
Speaker 1: the batter that the Baltimore Ravens were putting up against

1005
01:00:11,400 --> 01:00:15,640
Speaker 1: them that day. So what they'll they'll switch in and out.

1006
01:00:16,280 --> 01:00:21,080
Speaker 1: The Dolphins did try the blitzes early, they got blocked again.

1007
01:00:21,360 --> 01:00:24,800
Speaker 1: The Ravens are a pretty well coached team. John Harbaugh,

1008
01:00:25,680 --> 01:00:28,280
Speaker 1: you know, is not a shlub. He knows what he's doing.

1009
01:00:28,520 --> 01:00:32,640
Speaker 1: He's pretty you know, accomplished as an NFL head coach.

1010
01:00:33,200 --> 01:00:36,880
Speaker 1: So they figured it out, and the Dolphins you know,

1011
01:00:37,200 --> 01:00:42,760
Speaker 1: obviously stopped doing it because it wasn't working. Yeah, but

1012
01:00:42,920 --> 01:00:45,360
Speaker 1: so you've got Xavier on one side, Byron Jones is

1013
01:00:45,360 --> 01:00:47,320
Speaker 1: going to miss a couple more games before he can

1014
01:00:47,360 --> 01:00:50,840
Speaker 1: come off reserve pup or i R whatever it was.

1015
01:00:51,520 --> 01:00:54,800
Speaker 1: And I mean Nick Needham was in there at the start.

1016
01:00:55,360 --> 01:00:59,480
Speaker 1: Now you've got the undrafted kid Kator Cohu who's rotated

1017
01:00:59,560 --> 01:01:03,960
Speaker 1: in is igbog like a forgotten man. And I mean,

1018
01:01:04,040 --> 01:01:05,960
Speaker 1: how are we what are we looking at back there

1019
01:01:06,000 --> 01:01:11,240
Speaker 1: when they go to the sub packages. Yeah, when when

1020
01:01:11,320 --> 01:01:17,720
Speaker 1: you mentioned Noah, Dolphin fans cringe a little bit because

1021
01:01:18,520 --> 01:01:22,280
Speaker 1: he's had some difficulties since being drafted in the first

1022
01:01:22,560 --> 01:01:27,520
Speaker 1: round a couple of years ago. So that's an issue.

1023
01:01:28,320 --> 01:01:32,600
Speaker 1: Here's the problem when you have a secondary that's a

1024
01:01:32,640 --> 01:01:37,120
Speaker 1: little banged up. And then, as you discussed earlier, and

1025
01:01:37,280 --> 01:01:40,439
Speaker 1: we discussed earlier, the pass rush is not getting home.

1026
01:01:41,560 --> 01:01:45,360
Speaker 1: That's a bad formula. The Bills have a secondary that's

1027
01:01:45,440 --> 01:01:49,480
Speaker 1: banged up, but their pass rush has been amazing, right,

1028
01:01:49,680 --> 01:01:52,160
Speaker 1: and so that kind of covers things up a little bit.

1029
01:01:52,840 --> 01:02:00,040
Speaker 1: When you've got those two problems together, huge problem. What

1030
01:02:00,080 --> 01:02:02,680
Speaker 1: do you think the plan is for the Dolphins against

1031
01:02:03,280 --> 01:02:07,000
Speaker 1: this Buffalo Bills defense and offense as well? I means

1032
01:02:07,040 --> 01:02:09,520
Speaker 1: this that we're thinking that this may be like a

1033
01:02:09,840 --> 01:02:14,200
Speaker 1: fifty five fifty three kind of game. Yeah, it would

1034
01:02:14,200 --> 01:02:16,680
Speaker 1: be smart for the Dolphins to plan on making the

1035
01:02:16,760 --> 01:02:19,959
Speaker 1: Bills punt because I haven't seen too many of those

1036
01:02:20,680 --> 01:02:27,080
Speaker 1: this year. Right, Yeah, it's like, what is up with that?

1037
01:02:28,960 --> 01:02:33,960
Speaker 1: I get it. Josh Allen is great And TA was

1038
01:02:34,000 --> 01:02:37,480
Speaker 1: asked about Josh Allen and I believe he mentioned the

1039
01:02:37,560 --> 01:02:43,040
Speaker 1: word beast like five times in the span of thirty seconds,

1040
01:02:43,760 --> 01:02:47,600
Speaker 1: and he is, he's a beast. And as he goes,

1041
01:02:47,920 --> 01:02:50,840
Speaker 1: I'm not telling you anything. You don't know. As he goes,

1042
01:02:51,080 --> 01:02:55,240
Speaker 1: that team will go with or without Gabe Davis. You know,

1043
01:02:56,880 --> 01:03:01,400
Speaker 1: it's just they they overcome on offense. It's their defense

1044
01:03:01,600 --> 01:03:04,920
Speaker 1: and their secondary that that I think about. And I

1045
01:03:05,080 --> 01:03:11,200
Speaker 1: assume that the Dolphins will attack offensive line. For the Dolphins, Armando,

1046
01:03:11,360 --> 01:03:14,120
Speaker 1: we know Toront Armstead it's not practicing again today with

1047
01:03:14,320 --> 01:03:18,080
Speaker 1: that toe injury. How much does that kind of upset

1048
01:03:18,160 --> 01:03:21,600
Speaker 1: the Apple card, especially knowing they only have eight alignment

1049
01:03:21,680 --> 01:03:24,480
Speaker 1: on the roster. I'm assuming they've got practice squad guys

1050
01:03:24,520 --> 01:03:27,320
Speaker 1: they can call up. But what happens if Armstead doesn't

1051
01:03:27,320 --> 01:03:30,680
Speaker 1: line up in left tackle on Sunday. I think he's

1052
01:03:30,760 --> 01:03:35,760
Speaker 1: going to play. It would be a bad day if

1053
01:03:35,960 --> 01:03:40,400
Speaker 1: if he can't, because you have to remember, that would

1054
01:03:40,480 --> 01:03:42,919
Speaker 1: mean they go with a backup left tackle, and they're

1055
01:03:42,960 --> 01:03:46,200
Speaker 1: already playing Greg Little at right tackle, and he's the

1056
01:03:46,280 --> 01:03:54,440
Speaker 1: backup right tackle, Austin Jackson exactly. So when you have

1057
01:03:54,920 --> 01:04:01,320
Speaker 1: your two edge blockers neither one of them's starters, and

1058
01:04:01,680 --> 01:04:05,320
Speaker 1: on the other side is Von Miller and Greg Russo

1059
01:04:05,640 --> 01:04:12,640
Speaker 1: and and everybody the Bills bring up the middle, not

1060
01:04:13,240 --> 01:04:17,120
Speaker 1: a great script for the Miami Dolphins if that happens.

1061
01:04:17,160 --> 01:04:19,120
Speaker 1: But I don't believe it's gonna happen. Yeah, now it

1062
01:04:19,240 --> 01:04:23,360
Speaker 1: has been the thought appeared from you know, fifteen hundred

1063
01:04:23,400 --> 01:04:26,320
Speaker 1: miles away. It seems like the passing game for the

1064
01:04:26,440 --> 01:04:28,760
Speaker 1: Dolphins has been centered around the ball coming out into

1065
01:04:28,880 --> 01:04:32,440
Speaker 1: his hand pretty quickly. That's always a problem for the

1066
01:04:32,480 --> 01:04:34,480
Speaker 1: past rush because even if they get even if they

1067
01:04:34,520 --> 01:04:36,680
Speaker 1: beat their guy balls gone before they can actually even

1068
01:04:36,720 --> 01:04:39,720
Speaker 1: run a wind sprint to the quarterback. Is that still

1069
01:04:40,080 --> 01:04:41,720
Speaker 1: what they're trying to do? And I saw the the

1070
01:04:42,040 --> 01:04:44,320
Speaker 1: you know, the they worked play action quite a bit

1071
01:04:44,600 --> 01:04:46,960
Speaker 1: more so than any other team. They at least try

1072
01:04:47,000 --> 01:04:50,560
Speaker 1: to keep the run game involved that way. How has

1073
01:04:50,640 --> 01:04:54,120
Speaker 1: that worked so far? Outside of that, you know, the

1074
01:04:54,240 --> 01:04:56,680
Speaker 1: second half of the Baltimore game, when they were clipping

1075
01:04:56,720 --> 01:05:00,480
Speaker 1: guys deep, right, So that's the irony of it all.

1076
01:05:01,080 --> 01:05:06,320
Speaker 1: The plan, the desire of the Dolphins offense coming into

1077
01:05:06,400 --> 01:05:08,920
Speaker 1: the season and even coming into their two games is

1078
01:05:10,240 --> 01:05:14,440
Speaker 1: you know, get the ball out fast, and they were

1079
01:05:14,560 --> 01:05:18,480
Speaker 1: doing that, but in doing that, you're not really stretching

1080
01:05:18,560 --> 01:05:24,200
Speaker 1: the defense, and so it looked very much like previous

1081
01:05:24,280 --> 01:05:28,840
Speaker 1: Dolphin offenses. It was frankly kind of pop gun offense.

1082
01:05:30,160 --> 01:05:34,320
Speaker 1: And then they got again desperate. They were down twenty

1083
01:05:34,360 --> 01:05:37,280
Speaker 1: one in the fourth quarter, and so they had no

1084
01:05:37,480 --> 01:05:41,880
Speaker 1: choice but to wait for the longer, deeper routes to

1085
01:05:42,040 --> 01:05:48,480
Speaker 1: develop and lo and behold, they developed and they figured

1086
01:05:48,520 --> 01:05:52,520
Speaker 1: out that, Wow, Tyreek Hill's pretty a pretty awesome deep

1087
01:05:52,560 --> 01:05:55,960
Speaker 1: thread and Jalen Waddle when you don't throw him, you know,

1088
01:05:56,160 --> 01:05:59,360
Speaker 1: twenty five bubble screens, he's he can get down the

1089
01:05:59,440 --> 01:06:05,160
Speaker 1: field too. He's pretty amazing. So what we've seen is

1090
01:06:05,480 --> 01:06:08,360
Speaker 1: almost like and you have to remember the Dolphins have

1091
01:06:08,400 --> 01:06:13,160
Speaker 1: a new coaching staff on offense, including their head coach

1092
01:06:13,200 --> 01:06:17,880
Speaker 1: who's they're also their offensive play caller, so he's learning.

1093
01:06:18,440 --> 01:06:21,040
Speaker 1: They're learning on the fly based on what they're seeing.

1094
01:06:21,680 --> 01:06:25,760
Speaker 1: And now that they've seen the possibilities of going deeper

1095
01:06:26,200 --> 01:06:30,840
Speaker 1: and waiting a little bit longer to release the football,

1096
01:06:31,320 --> 01:06:34,040
Speaker 1: I would imagine they're going to be a lot more

1097
01:06:34,120 --> 01:06:37,880
Speaker 1: willing to intersperse that into the you know, give to

1098
01:06:38,480 --> 01:06:40,160
Speaker 1: get the ball out of two his hands in two

1099
01:06:40,160 --> 01:06:41,920
Speaker 1: and a half seconds. Right, last one, I have you

1100
01:06:41,960 --> 01:06:45,960
Speaker 1: got for your Armando concerns? Mike McDaniel, how would you

1101
01:06:47,120 --> 01:06:52,800
Speaker 1: describe his impact, his influence and his approach, you know,

1102
01:06:52,920 --> 01:06:55,240
Speaker 1: as the new guy on the block here with this crew,

1103
01:06:55,480 --> 01:07:01,560
Speaker 1: especially knowing he inherited half of his coaching staff pretty much. Right, So,

1104
01:07:02,080 --> 01:07:07,600
Speaker 1: Mike is the antithesis basically of Brian Flores. Brian Flora

1105
01:07:07,720 --> 01:07:11,080
Speaker 1: is the previous coach, was a tough guy, my way

1106
01:07:11,200 --> 01:07:19,120
Speaker 1: or the highway, hard coaching, not too willing to bend

1107
01:07:19,400 --> 01:07:23,960
Speaker 1: type of guy. Mike McDaniel, what he has done is,

1108
01:07:24,000 --> 01:07:27,640
Speaker 1: first of all, he's basically adopted to a befriended to

1109
01:07:28,480 --> 01:07:33,760
Speaker 1: encourage to uh. He's like Toah's older, loving brother as

1110
01:07:33,920 --> 01:07:37,760
Speaker 1: much as the head coach. And that's working with Tah,

1111
01:07:38,280 --> 01:07:43,280
Speaker 1: Whereas Flores was more of a you know, kind of

1112
01:07:43,400 --> 01:07:46,720
Speaker 1: like a taskmaster and you have to do more and

1113
01:07:46,880 --> 01:07:49,880
Speaker 1: this isn't good enough and I'm not pleased with this.

1114
01:07:50,680 --> 01:07:54,040
Speaker 1: And so it's worked for Tah, it's worked for a

1115
01:07:54,160 --> 01:07:57,160
Speaker 1: lot of the players, frankly, but I would have to

1116
01:07:57,240 --> 01:08:01,240
Speaker 1: say to you, he's undefeated, and all of that works

1117
01:08:01,520 --> 01:08:06,040
Speaker 1: when you're undefeated. I don't think they're going to be

1118
01:08:06,200 --> 01:08:10,040
Speaker 1: undefeated this year. I don't think he's gonna be undefeated

1119
01:08:10,120 --> 01:08:14,200
Speaker 1: as a coach. So what happens when you lose a

1120
01:08:14,360 --> 01:08:18,840
Speaker 1: game or two or three in a row. Now, Now,

1121
01:08:19,040 --> 01:08:21,720
Speaker 1: how do guys react to you? And how does the

1122
01:08:21,880 --> 01:08:29,280
Speaker 1: friendship coach? How does the relationship guy? How does that

1123
01:08:29,479 --> 01:08:31,880
Speaker 1: fly in the locker room and how do players react

1124
01:08:31,920 --> 01:08:35,240
Speaker 1: to that. That's the unknown. Yeah, i'd agree with you that. Nope,

1125
01:08:35,280 --> 01:08:38,360
Speaker 1: it is. It's been all you know, Sunshine and roses.

1126
01:08:38,400 --> 01:08:40,280
Speaker 1: Now for a two and oh start, particularly even in

1127
01:08:40,320 --> 01:08:42,600
Speaker 1: a division where you beat the Patriots right out of

1128
01:08:42,600 --> 01:08:47,320
Speaker 1: the gate and then have a fantastic comeback in week two. Yeah,

1129
01:08:47,840 --> 01:08:49,840
Speaker 1: some adversity's gonna hit every all of these teams. The

1130
01:08:49,880 --> 01:08:51,960
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills are kind of waiting for that shoe to

1131
01:08:52,080 --> 01:08:54,479
Speaker 1: drop this season as well. It'll be interesting to see

1132
01:08:54,520 --> 01:08:57,639
Speaker 1: how Mike McDaniel and his crew handle that when it hits.

1133
01:08:57,680 --> 01:09:00,880
Speaker 1: It's just like it'll hit the Buffalo Bills as well. Armando, Thanks,

1134
01:09:00,960 --> 01:09:02,800
Speaker 1: it's great talking to you. Thanks for coming on with

1135
01:09:02,920 --> 01:09:05,679
Speaker 1: us again. As the Miami Dolphins and the Bills play again.

1136
01:09:05,760 --> 01:09:07,640
Speaker 1: We'll probably have you on later in the in the

1137
01:09:07,720 --> 01:09:11,439
Speaker 1: year as well. Sounds good, gentlemen. Thank you all right.

1138
01:09:11,479 --> 01:09:14,639
Speaker 1: That's Armando sal Yarrow, senior NFL writer for OutKick dot Com,

1139
01:09:15,600 --> 01:09:17,439
Speaker 1: bringing us up to speed on that. Yeah, I mean

1140
01:09:17,520 --> 01:09:23,360
Speaker 1: I try to. You know, new head coaches in this league,

1141
01:09:24,320 --> 01:09:28,160
Speaker 1: history says, generally do not have a great deal of success.

1142
01:09:28,479 --> 01:09:30,880
Speaker 1: Their teams are rarely in the playoffs their first year

1143
01:09:30,920 --> 01:09:33,800
Speaker 1: on the job, because they're usually inheriting a mess. You know,

1144
01:09:34,080 --> 01:09:39,439
Speaker 1: a roster that's you know, not uber talented. Maybe it's

1145
01:09:39,479 --> 01:09:42,840
Speaker 1: got a salary cap purge that has to happen, and

1146
01:09:42,920 --> 01:09:46,600
Speaker 1: you're not getting a full compliment or roster talent, and

1147
01:09:46,680 --> 01:09:50,320
Speaker 1: there's a lot to fit together. And sometimes when you

1148
01:09:50,439 --> 01:09:53,679
Speaker 1: inherit members of a coaching staff, as McDaniel did here,

1149
01:09:54,080 --> 01:09:57,240
Speaker 1: because the vast majority of the defensive staff is still intact,

1150
01:09:58,240 --> 01:10:02,400
Speaker 1: including defensive coordinator Josh Boyer, you know, there are some

1151
01:10:02,560 --> 01:10:05,280
Speaker 1: bridges to cross there before you get everything lined up

1152
01:10:05,320 --> 01:10:08,040
Speaker 1: the way you want it. But out of the shoot here,

1153
01:10:09,160 --> 01:10:14,599
Speaker 1: McDaniel has made it work unconventionally, so especially last week,

1154
01:10:15,000 --> 01:10:18,240
Speaker 1: you know, going down twenty one points before staging a

1155
01:10:18,320 --> 01:10:20,920
Speaker 1: monstrous comeback. But I'll say this though as well. I

1156
01:10:20,960 --> 01:10:24,640
Speaker 1: mean we've seen it a ton Brownie. We say this

1157
01:10:24,720 --> 01:10:27,160
Speaker 1: all the time, and it gets illustrated every time something

1158
01:10:27,200 --> 01:10:29,639
Speaker 1: like this happens. And this is no different. When one

1159
01:10:29,680 --> 01:10:32,479
Speaker 1: team turns off the emotional content of what they're doing,

1160
01:10:32,560 --> 01:10:34,160
Speaker 1: when they try to get out of they think the

1161
01:10:34,200 --> 01:10:37,280
Speaker 1: game is over before it's over, and they leave town

1162
01:10:37,400 --> 01:10:40,120
Speaker 1: mentally and emotionally and just kind of go through the

1163
01:10:40,240 --> 01:10:44,479
Speaker 1: motions physically. The other team becomes desperate, and as talented

1164
01:10:44,520 --> 01:10:46,760
Speaker 1: as all NFL teams are, every last one of them,

1165
01:10:46,840 --> 01:10:49,479
Speaker 1: as talented as they are, when they're playing against a

1166
01:10:49,520 --> 01:10:53,640
Speaker 1: team that's out there to practice rather than play, they

1167
01:10:53,760 --> 01:10:57,000
Speaker 1: make hay and it doesn't take long to fill it up,

1168
01:10:57,240 --> 01:10:59,679
Speaker 1: which is what the Dolphins did to the Baltimore Ravens. Yeah,

1169
01:11:00,640 --> 01:11:02,160
Speaker 1: that's what we saw against what we saw in the

1170
01:11:02,200 --> 01:11:05,120
Speaker 1: greatest comeback game. That's what we've seen in game after game,

1171
01:11:05,240 --> 01:11:09,559
Speaker 1: comeback after comeback. Three games last week had huge comebacks,

1172
01:11:09,560 --> 01:11:14,439
Speaker 1: and the Jets did it to the Browns inside of

1173
01:11:14,520 --> 01:11:17,800
Speaker 1: two minutes. So when a team shuts it off in

1174
01:11:17,920 --> 01:11:22,080
Speaker 1: this day and age, it costs you the game. We've

1175
01:11:22,120 --> 01:11:24,200
Speaker 1: seen it. It just happens too quickly. If you shut

1176
01:11:24,240 --> 01:11:26,960
Speaker 1: it off too early, it costs you the game. And

1177
01:11:27,040 --> 01:11:30,160
Speaker 1: that's what happened to Baltimore last week. Now, certainly Miami,

1178
01:11:30,479 --> 01:11:32,720
Speaker 1: when you get guys like Waddle and Hill on the

1179
01:11:32,800 --> 01:11:36,360
Speaker 1: outside and they're going against guys who are just kind

1180
01:11:36,400 --> 01:11:42,400
Speaker 1: of coasting that it's toast. Yeah, it is absolute toast.

1181
01:11:42,479 --> 01:11:47,240
Speaker 1: Every offensive play the Bills are off the practice field

1182
01:11:47,400 --> 01:11:49,599
Speaker 1: and we do have news from the locker room. Wide

1183
01:11:49,640 --> 01:11:53,040
Speaker 1: receiver Gabe Davis, who did practice today, was asked how

1184
01:11:53,120 --> 01:11:55,799
Speaker 1: optimistic he is that he will play on Sunday against

1185
01:11:55,800 --> 01:12:02,200
Speaker 1: the Dolphins. His answer, one hundred percent. Okay, that works

1186
01:12:02,240 --> 01:12:06,559
Speaker 1: for me. We did hear Stefan Diggs in postgame press

1187
01:12:06,640 --> 01:12:10,679
Speaker 1: conference after the Titans game. He said then that Gabe

1188
01:12:10,760 --> 01:12:14,760
Speaker 1: was really pushing to play this past Monday, but was

1189
01:12:14,800 --> 01:12:18,080
Speaker 1: held out of that game. And actually that proves to

1190
01:12:18,200 --> 01:12:20,479
Speaker 1: be the wise decision because it looks like he will

1191
01:12:20,560 --> 01:12:23,600
Speaker 1: in fact be able to play on Sunday. Based on

1192
01:12:23,720 --> 01:12:26,479
Speaker 1: his characterization of how optimistic he is, one hundred percent

1193
01:12:26,560 --> 01:12:29,280
Speaker 1: sure he's going to play. So that's certainly good news

1194
01:12:29,640 --> 01:12:31,760
Speaker 1: for Buffalo's offense. Now, we need about a half dozen

1195
01:12:31,800 --> 01:12:33,720
Speaker 1: guys on defense to feel the same way, although I

1196
01:12:33,760 --> 01:12:36,280
Speaker 1: don't know if the timetable's gonna line up. We will

1197
01:12:36,360 --> 01:12:38,439
Speaker 1: take a break here, though, because when we come back,

1198
01:12:38,920 --> 01:12:42,720
Speaker 1: we will have Josh Allen and Von Miller ready to roll.

1199
01:12:42,800 --> 01:12:45,439
Speaker 1: Addressing the media after practice today. We'll have that for

1200
01:12:45,600 --> 01:12:47,719
Speaker 1: you next here on One Bill's Live, presented by Kalid

1201
01:12:47,760 --> 01:13:01,360
Speaker 1: to Health, It's Buffalo Bill's Radio. All right, We're back

1202
01:13:01,720 --> 01:13:04,600
Speaker 1: One Bills Live Time. For us though, to go to

1203
01:13:04,840 --> 01:13:10,520
Speaker 1: the post practice micstand where one Josh Allen is addressing

1204
01:13:10,640 --> 01:13:14,080
Speaker 1: the media. Yeah, every every game is different. Um, every

1205
01:13:14,120 --> 01:13:17,519
Speaker 1: season's different. You know, they're they're playing really well, um,

1206
01:13:18,000 --> 01:13:19,800
Speaker 1: especially at the defensive side of the ball right now.

1207
01:13:20,640 --> 01:13:22,880
Speaker 1: So we gotta be prepared for whatever they can throw

1208
01:13:22,880 --> 01:13:25,559
Speaker 1: at us. And we know, you know usually during these

1209
01:13:25,680 --> 01:13:28,400
Speaker 1: division games they throw in a different wrinkle that maybe

1210
01:13:28,439 --> 01:13:31,559
Speaker 1: they haven't shown on film and try to break some tendencies. Um.

1211
01:13:31,680 --> 01:13:34,000
Speaker 1: So again that's that's again, that's football though, So we

1212
01:13:34,080 --> 01:13:36,559
Speaker 1: got to be ready. Um. You know, we've had a good,

1213
01:13:36,680 --> 01:13:38,679
Speaker 1: good week on a short week, trying to put together

1214
01:13:38,720 --> 01:13:41,400
Speaker 1: a really good game plan. Guys are obviously getting back

1215
01:13:41,400 --> 01:13:45,160
Speaker 1: to health. Um, so what it is, what it is.

1216
01:13:45,280 --> 01:13:47,000
Speaker 1: You know, we're gonna have to have guys step up

1217
01:13:47,040 --> 01:13:49,840
Speaker 1: and play next man up football, and um that's the

1218
01:13:49,920 --> 01:13:52,280
Speaker 1: nature of this business. And you know we trust the

1219
01:13:52,320 --> 01:13:54,760
Speaker 1: guys in this building. Um, but yeah, I gotta go

1220
01:13:54,800 --> 01:14:10,360
Speaker 1: out there and execute. No, I mean they do a

1221
01:14:10,400 --> 01:14:13,040
Speaker 1: lot of similar things from last year. Um. Obviously they

1222
01:14:13,080 --> 01:14:15,080
Speaker 1: got a couple of new guys up front, um that

1223
01:14:15,160 --> 01:14:20,040
Speaker 1: are playing well. But again they statistically they're the most

1224
01:14:20,080 --> 01:14:22,080
Speaker 1: pressure you know, they bring the most pressure in the league,

1225
01:14:22,439 --> 01:14:24,800
Speaker 1: so we got to find ways to whether we block

1226
01:14:24,880 --> 01:14:26,559
Speaker 1: it or get the ball out quick, and I allow

1227
01:14:27,000 --> 01:14:30,479
Speaker 1: that to dictate our game plan. Um, And that's that's

1228
01:14:30,560 --> 01:14:32,439
Speaker 1: kind of what it is. You know, they they they

1229
01:14:32,479 --> 01:14:35,479
Speaker 1: are who they are, UM, but they're they're dang good

1230
01:14:35,479 --> 01:14:41,160
Speaker 1: at what they do, so we got to be prepared. Wally. Um,

1231
01:14:43,920 --> 01:14:47,360
Speaker 1: we've we've we've been around each other a couple of times. UM.

1232
01:14:48,080 --> 01:14:50,519
Speaker 1: Most recently we were at the F one in Miami

1233
01:14:50,600 --> 01:14:52,120
Speaker 1: and just talking to him for a little bit, and

1234
01:14:52,720 --> 01:14:54,719
Speaker 1: he was there with some of his teammates. But everything again,

1235
01:14:54,760 --> 01:14:57,320
Speaker 1: I was with Dabel, and Dabel was with him in Alabama.

1236
01:14:57,520 --> 01:15:00,519
Speaker 1: And I mean, you can't say a bad thing about

1237
01:15:00,520 --> 01:15:02,719
Speaker 1: the guy. You know, he's and he's the nicest person

1238
01:15:03,160 --> 01:15:06,320
Speaker 1: talking with him, Um, you know, very very family and

1239
01:15:06,360 --> 01:15:10,760
Speaker 1: friend oriented. UM. So again, UM, he's playing really well

1240
01:15:10,840 --> 01:15:12,519
Speaker 1: right now. And I said it on the on the

1241
01:15:13,200 --> 01:15:16,519
Speaker 1: the Basement podcast yesterday. UM, you know, it's it's tough

1242
01:15:16,600 --> 01:15:19,280
Speaker 1: to do when you've got so many people down talking

1243
01:15:19,520 --> 01:15:22,439
Speaker 1: and they saying but it's tough to tough sometimes to

1244
01:15:22,520 --> 01:15:23,880
Speaker 1: quiet it out. But he's done a good job of

1245
01:15:23,920 --> 01:15:26,400
Speaker 1: that and he's Um, it's paying dividends right now. You know,

1246
01:15:26,479 --> 01:15:30,200
Speaker 1: he's going out there through for you know, six almost

1247
01:15:30,200 --> 01:15:32,400
Speaker 1: six hundred was a six hundred yards or six touchdown

1248
01:15:32,560 --> 01:15:34,479
Speaker 1: like something something crazy, and there's there's are video game

1249
01:15:34,520 --> 01:15:37,360
Speaker 1: stats and um, you know, our our defense has got

1250
01:15:37,439 --> 01:15:40,320
Speaker 1: to be all hands on deck for them. You went

1251
01:15:40,400 --> 01:15:42,000
Speaker 1: through that, Josh, you went through a lot of people

1252
01:15:43,200 --> 01:15:44,840
Speaker 1: doubting you a lot when he came out. He's got

1253
01:15:44,920 --> 01:15:46,360
Speaker 1: to coalize. It took a couple of years. Maybe if

1254
01:15:46,360 --> 01:15:48,240
Speaker 1: your healt hit your games where my people would realize that.

1255
01:15:48,680 --> 01:15:50,080
Speaker 1: So what is the message when you have a young

1256
01:15:50,160 --> 01:15:52,080
Speaker 1: reporter that it's kind of going through those who as

1257
01:15:52,120 --> 01:15:54,479
Speaker 1: when you talk to that, I mean, it's just it's

1258
01:15:55,080 --> 01:15:58,559
Speaker 1: um brave as the storm, you know. Um, That's that's

1259
01:15:58,600 --> 01:16:00,400
Speaker 1: really all it is. And he's done a good job

1260
01:16:00,400 --> 01:16:02,320
Speaker 1: with that and you're you're seeing you know, it's just

1261
01:16:02,479 --> 01:16:05,639
Speaker 1: that the success is starting to happen. Um. And again, UM,

1262
01:16:06,280 --> 01:16:08,439
Speaker 1: I'm happy for him, like as just as a as

1263
01:16:08,479 --> 01:16:11,160
Speaker 1: a person, as a human. Uh and the competitive side

1264
01:16:11,200 --> 01:16:13,720
Speaker 1: of me, you know is our arrival and um that

1265
01:16:13,880 --> 01:16:16,840
Speaker 1: that comes second. But um, like I said, O, our

1266
01:16:16,880 --> 01:16:18,639
Speaker 1: defense has got to be prepared. They're they're playing really

1267
01:16:18,680 --> 01:16:20,640
Speaker 1: well on offense too. And you know with the new

1268
01:16:20,680 --> 01:16:23,040
Speaker 1: system that they got put in, Um, it's gonna be

1269
01:16:23,120 --> 01:16:25,519
Speaker 1: a it's gonna have to be a complimentary win. You know,

1270
01:16:25,560 --> 01:16:27,360
Speaker 1: we're gonna have to do our part on the offensive

1271
01:16:27,360 --> 01:16:29,519
Speaker 1: side of the ball, and um, allow our defense to

1272
01:16:29,680 --> 01:16:32,679
Speaker 1: to make some plays and um, you know, like I said,

1273
01:16:32,720 --> 01:16:36,599
Speaker 1: play smart, complimentary football. Where of your success against Miami

1274
01:16:36,920 --> 01:16:40,320
Speaker 1: or is that not something you think about? It's not

1275
01:16:40,479 --> 01:16:43,120
Speaker 1: something I really think about. Like I said, every every

1276
01:16:43,200 --> 01:16:45,640
Speaker 1: week is different, every season is different. It's got a

1277
01:16:45,680 --> 01:16:49,439
Speaker 1: different flow to every game. You're in different situations. Um,

1278
01:16:50,040 --> 01:16:51,680
Speaker 1: you know, and I think coach McDermott just does a

1279
01:16:51,720 --> 01:16:55,720
Speaker 1: good good job of preparing us for those situations. Um.

1280
01:16:56,280 --> 01:16:59,160
Speaker 1: But yeah, the all that stuff that has happened in

1281
01:16:59,200 --> 01:17:02,320
Speaker 1: the past doesn't matter. Come come Sunday, it's a completely

1282
01:17:02,400 --> 01:17:05,720
Speaker 1: new ball game. Anything can happen. Um. That's that's why

1283
01:17:05,760 --> 01:17:23,120
Speaker 1: we play the game so important. He's been helping. Yeah, Um,

1284
01:17:23,520 --> 01:17:26,160
Speaker 1: I mean the relationship that we have, it's I consider

1285
01:17:26,200 --> 01:17:28,160
Speaker 1: it awesome. He's one of my my better friends on

1286
01:17:28,240 --> 01:17:30,479
Speaker 1: the team. And you know, I love everybody but Mitch.

1287
01:17:30,600 --> 01:17:33,160
Speaker 1: You know, just seeing him grow from when he got here,

1288
01:17:33,200 --> 01:17:37,160
Speaker 1: it's been unbelievable. He's a team voted captain now and um,

1289
01:17:37,280 --> 01:17:39,800
Speaker 1: he just does everything right. He's got the right attitude.

1290
01:17:40,200 --> 01:17:42,160
Speaker 1: He makes things right on the field for us. Um,

1291
01:17:42,520 --> 01:17:44,720
Speaker 1: the way that we communicate and the way that he

1292
01:17:44,800 --> 01:17:48,760
Speaker 1: communicates to the offensive line, Um, it's pretty special. So um,

1293
01:17:49,000 --> 01:17:50,560
Speaker 1: you know we had to continue to grow in that

1294
01:17:50,640 --> 01:17:55,920
Speaker 1: aspect though, and uh yes, be you ready for that

1295
01:18:01,120 --> 01:18:10,240
Speaker 1: how down? Yeah? Um, I mean sorry that peanut butter

1296
01:18:10,360 --> 01:18:13,519
Speaker 1: jelly sandwich is still up there. Um yeah, I mean

1297
01:18:13,720 --> 01:18:16,000
Speaker 1: me talking with him, you know, in the protection meetings

1298
01:18:16,840 --> 01:18:19,160
Speaker 1: and just kind of getting an idea of you know

1299
01:18:19,240 --> 01:18:21,920
Speaker 1: what we're gonna call the terminology that we're gonna use. Um,

1300
01:18:22,080 --> 01:18:24,200
Speaker 1: I have to line the scrimmage like if it's gonna

1301
01:18:24,200 --> 01:18:26,400
Speaker 1: be loud, running up and like hey, this, this, this,

1302
01:18:26,520 --> 01:18:28,360
Speaker 1: and needs you got to recognize what I'm calling relay

1303
01:18:28,400 --> 01:18:31,280
Speaker 1: so I can get back, get my foot up and go. Um.

1304
01:18:31,360 --> 01:18:37,960
Speaker 1: But he's he's phenomenal at it. I want to feel

1305
01:18:37,960 --> 01:18:40,040
Speaker 1: a little bit differs that you guys have as a

1306
01:18:40,120 --> 01:18:45,760
Speaker 1: team and meeting division. Um, I mean it's it's the

1307
01:18:45,760 --> 01:18:47,800
Speaker 1: biggest game of the season because it's the next one. Um,

1308
01:18:48,080 --> 01:18:51,000
Speaker 1: that's I know that sounds cliche and you're not gonna

1309
01:18:51,000 --> 01:18:53,760
Speaker 1: like that answer, but um, it's it's the truth. You know. There,

1310
01:18:54,400 --> 01:18:57,040
Speaker 1: you gotta win your division games. Um, we know that. Um,

1311
01:18:58,120 --> 01:19:00,120
Speaker 1: but they're they're also feeling that way and they know

1312
01:19:00,200 --> 01:19:01,920
Speaker 1: that they got to win win these games as well.

1313
01:19:02,000 --> 01:19:04,640
Speaker 1: So it's gonna come down to whoever plays better on

1314
01:19:04,920 --> 01:19:14,040
Speaker 1: Sunday morning. It's on the afternoon game. Were game the

1315
01:19:14,080 --> 01:19:18,799
Speaker 1: big mord? Yeah? Absolutely. I think Cromer and our offensive

1316
01:19:18,840 --> 01:19:20,920
Speaker 1: lineup put together a pretty good game plan for for

1317
01:19:21,000 --> 01:19:23,320
Speaker 1: the run game. And you know it's just us going

1318
01:19:23,360 --> 01:19:25,720
Speaker 1: out there and executing putting a hat for a hat. Um,

1319
01:19:26,200 --> 01:19:28,240
Speaker 1: No one who were iding going after that, and then

1320
01:19:28,479 --> 01:19:31,680
Speaker 1: they're running back seating the light the lanes and hitting them. So, um,

1321
01:19:31,760 --> 01:19:33,519
Speaker 1: I got I got no doubt in my mind that

1322
01:19:33,560 --> 01:19:36,960
Speaker 1: we're capable of it. Um. But again, it all comes

1323
01:19:37,000 --> 01:19:40,400
Speaker 1: down to Sundays one pm, you know, executing it and um,

1324
01:19:41,200 --> 01:19:44,080
Speaker 1: you know, making sure that we're sticking to it at

1325
01:19:44,160 --> 01:19:46,559
Speaker 1: one point, yes, straight in the second third quarter through

1326
01:19:46,560 --> 01:19:49,320
Speaker 1: the ball in twenty one straight place do you relate

1327
01:19:49,400 --> 01:19:51,960
Speaker 1: to Joe, to relate to Ken like feed me like

1328
01:19:52,040 --> 01:19:55,240
Speaker 1: I'm feeling it, keep calling pass plays or is that

1329
01:19:55,960 --> 01:19:58,280
Speaker 1: do you have any impact. Well, it's it's I think

1330
01:19:58,320 --> 01:20:03,800
Speaker 1: it's a product of UM knowing the situation and when

1331
01:20:03,840 --> 01:20:05,560
Speaker 1: you do that, when you call so many passes in

1332
01:20:05,600 --> 01:20:09,519
Speaker 1: a row, either down a lot or you're really really

1333
01:20:09,600 --> 01:20:12,720
Speaker 1: vibing UM on offense and you know, allowing that to

1334
01:20:12,840 --> 01:20:15,240
Speaker 1: sometimes be your run game, whether it be a checkdown, UM,

1335
01:20:15,360 --> 01:20:17,600
Speaker 1: a quick a quick pass here and there. You know,

1336
01:20:17,760 --> 01:20:20,320
Speaker 1: just methodically moving the ball and keeping the clock running.

1337
01:20:20,320 --> 01:20:22,240
Speaker 1: That's that's another way to do it. You don't always

1338
01:20:22,240 --> 01:20:23,880
Speaker 1: have to run the ball to be effective in the

1339
01:20:23,920 --> 01:20:26,519
Speaker 1: run game. UM. So that's kind of the our thought process.

1340
01:20:26,600 --> 01:20:29,840
Speaker 1: Sometimes our our passing game can help and be our

1341
01:20:29,920 --> 01:20:47,680
Speaker 1: running game when when need be talking about no, it's

1342
01:20:47,720 --> 01:20:49,960
Speaker 1: it's awesome. The guys get pumped for it, UM, and

1343
01:20:50,120 --> 01:20:52,640
Speaker 1: everybody sees that. It sees you know, and it was

1344
01:20:53,000 --> 01:20:55,880
Speaker 1: I believe that was the fourth quarter. UM, a lot

1345
01:20:55,880 --> 01:20:57,680
Speaker 1: of starters already taken out. He had to, you know,

1346
01:20:57,920 --> 01:20:59,479
Speaker 1: give him the rules. In the NFL, you can only

1347
01:21:00,720 --> 01:21:04,040
Speaker 1: um dress so many guys, so some guys got to

1348
01:21:04,040 --> 01:21:05,240
Speaker 1: stay in there. And for him to go out there

1349
01:21:05,280 --> 01:21:07,280
Speaker 1: and do that, and just to have the still a

1350
01:21:07,360 --> 01:21:09,519
Speaker 1: hunging drive to go out and execute to play. Um,

1351
01:21:09,600 --> 01:21:11,640
Speaker 1: you'd love to see that, especially from your one of

1352
01:21:11,680 --> 01:21:15,120
Speaker 1: our veteran leaders, guy that's been here. Um, you know,

1353
01:21:15,560 --> 01:21:17,160
Speaker 1: maybe the longest on the team, the longest tenure on

1354
01:21:17,200 --> 01:21:20,960
Speaker 1: the team now that I think. Um so, yeah, you

1355
01:21:21,080 --> 01:21:22,360
Speaker 1: love to see it from a guy like that, just

1356
01:21:22,439 --> 01:21:24,439
Speaker 1: going out and busting his tail, and um, you know

1357
01:21:24,520 --> 01:21:27,519
Speaker 1: we love him for it. Through what one o'clock Sunday

1358
01:21:30,520 --> 01:21:34,719
Speaker 1: then pay Yeah, it's a little bit of an earlier morning,

1359
01:21:35,000 --> 01:21:38,920
Speaker 1: um for sure, but less sitting around, less thinking, waiting

1360
01:21:39,120 --> 01:21:42,280
Speaker 1: and watching, um so, allowing us to get up, get

1361
01:21:42,320 --> 01:21:45,200
Speaker 1: ready and put our pads on and go. And um

1362
01:21:45,280 --> 01:21:47,360
Speaker 1: we got to be prepared, you know, Saturday night and

1363
01:21:47,479 --> 01:21:49,920
Speaker 1: when we wake up Sunday morning, Um, we gotta be

1364
01:21:49,960 --> 01:21:55,600
Speaker 1: ready to play. I have it now Sunday. How is

1365
01:21:55,600 --> 01:21:58,439
Speaker 1: that adjustment, Ben for your routine? Yeah, I mean we

1366
01:21:58,520 --> 01:22:00,439
Speaker 1: got a lot of good leadership in this locker room.

1367
01:22:00,600 --> 01:22:03,639
Speaker 1: Guys like Vaughan, Jordan, Micah, Um, like I said, Dion

1368
01:22:03,760 --> 01:22:05,519
Speaker 1: and Mitch, guys that have been around and played a

1369
01:22:05,600 --> 01:22:08,400
Speaker 1: lot of these different types of games. Um so some

1370
01:22:08,479 --> 01:22:10,760
Speaker 1: of the younger guys relying on them just figuring out

1371
01:22:10,840 --> 01:22:12,519
Speaker 1: what the schedule is throughout the week. How to get

1372
01:22:12,520 --> 01:22:15,320
Speaker 1: my body ready for Sunday on a short week. Um,

1373
01:22:15,600 --> 01:22:18,360
Speaker 1: So you know we're just relying on on those guys

1374
01:22:18,400 --> 01:22:21,080
Speaker 1: and uh, you know coach McDermott has been helping us out,

1375
01:22:21,120 --> 01:22:22,800
Speaker 1: you know with no pads and yesterday kind of being

1376
01:22:22,840 --> 01:22:25,479
Speaker 1: a lighter day. So, um, just trying to find a

1377
01:22:25,520 --> 01:22:27,000
Speaker 1: way to get back ready for Sunday. And that's just

1378
01:22:27,160 --> 01:22:36,040
Speaker 1: that's that's a weekly thing. What he can bring to

1379
01:22:36,200 --> 01:22:40,400
Speaker 1: the offer. Yeah, I mean the guy that's extremely reliable.

1380
01:22:40,520 --> 01:22:43,280
Speaker 1: He's um, you know, he's faster than you think. He's

1381
01:22:43,320 --> 01:22:46,760
Speaker 1: got the deceptive speed, um, you know, and he's got

1382
01:22:46,800 --> 01:22:49,840
Speaker 1: the luscious locks, the long hair, touchdown Jesus what we

1383
01:22:49,960 --> 01:22:52,639
Speaker 1: call him. But he's like again, he's just the most

1384
01:22:53,360 --> 01:22:55,680
Speaker 1: i think even killed dude on the team. He's never high,

1385
01:22:55,760 --> 01:22:58,960
Speaker 1: never low. Um, He's just willing to do whatever's asked

1386
01:22:58,960 --> 01:23:01,240
Speaker 1: for him, whether it's going down and getting a safety

1387
01:23:01,720 --> 01:23:04,800
Speaker 1: or you know, edging a defensive end or taking the

1388
01:23:04,880 --> 01:23:07,040
Speaker 1: top off the defense, running a clear route. And then

1389
01:23:07,200 --> 01:23:10,080
Speaker 1: you see his ball skills on the go route third

1390
01:23:10,160 --> 01:23:12,760
Speaker 1: down picking up with huge stir down for us. He's

1391
01:23:12,800 --> 01:23:15,559
Speaker 1: just consistent. He just does what he's told us. He's

1392
01:23:15,600 --> 01:23:17,200
Speaker 1: always there and he knows what he's doing and you

1393
01:23:17,240 --> 01:23:19,720
Speaker 1: can really trust guys like that, and we really trust him,

1394
01:23:20,720 --> 01:23:24,200
Speaker 1: all right. So that's Josh Allen addressing the media after practice.

1395
01:23:24,560 --> 01:23:26,479
Speaker 1: Somebody's got to get him a bottle of water. He's

1396
01:23:26,720 --> 01:23:29,680
Speaker 1: choking on the remnants of his peanut butter and jelly sandwich. There.

1397
01:23:29,760 --> 01:23:32,519
Speaker 1: Somebody throwing a water bottle. Cheese that. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

1398
01:23:32,840 --> 01:23:34,640
Speaker 1: We couldn't hear the some of the question yet, kind

1399
01:23:34,640 --> 01:23:36,720
Speaker 1: of have to infer what the questions are as to

1400
01:23:36,920 --> 01:23:39,680
Speaker 1: what the answers come forthcoming. But it's always good to

1401
01:23:39,720 --> 01:23:42,439
Speaker 1: hear from Josh after practice and to hear, you know,

1402
01:23:42,640 --> 01:23:44,559
Speaker 1: Gabe Davis says he's going to be one hundred percent

1403
01:23:44,720 --> 01:23:47,000
Speaker 1: and all the stuff that goes with Austin Knox was

1404
01:23:47,160 --> 01:23:49,439
Speaker 1: added to the injury reports a new edition yesterday, but

1405
01:23:49,520 --> 01:23:52,000
Speaker 1: he was practicing today, so that's a good sign. The

1406
01:23:52,160 --> 01:23:55,639
Speaker 1: offense is not the problem this week gets the it's

1407
01:23:55,640 --> 01:23:57,320
Speaker 1: how many people are gonna have on the field on

1408
01:23:57,360 --> 01:24:00,040
Speaker 1: the defensive side of the ball. Certainly of Oliver and

1409
01:24:00,160 --> 01:24:04,639
Speaker 1: Settle can come back from injury missing last week's game,

1410
01:24:04,680 --> 01:24:06,760
Speaker 1: that will help, because I think it's unlikely that Jordan

1411
01:24:06,840 --> 01:24:09,840
Speaker 1: Phillips plays and then Jordan Poyer and Micah Hyde they

1412
01:24:09,840 --> 01:24:11,559
Speaker 1: are up in the air, and those are two safety

1413
01:24:11,640 --> 01:24:14,200
Speaker 1: blankets that you'd prefer to have out there. No knock

1414
01:24:14,240 --> 01:24:16,959
Speaker 1: on Jikwan Johnson or DeMar Hamlin, who are their replacements

1415
01:24:17,000 --> 01:24:19,439
Speaker 1: if they can't go. They've been here, they know this defense.

1416
01:24:21,680 --> 01:24:23,760
Speaker 1: But with guys that are new to Tyree Hill on

1417
01:24:23,840 --> 01:24:26,360
Speaker 1: the field and the speed he presents, it's a shock

1418
01:24:26,960 --> 01:24:30,360
Speaker 1: at first, it is, and you have to adjust to

1419
01:24:30,439 --> 01:24:33,200
Speaker 1: it and quickly. Otherwise he's putting seven on the board

1420
01:24:33,240 --> 01:24:36,280
Speaker 1: for the bad guys. So right, that's the thing you

1421
01:24:36,600 --> 01:24:39,200
Speaker 1: concern yourself with a little bit. Of course, if the

1422
01:24:39,240 --> 01:24:42,639
Speaker 1: Bills pass rush up front can help, you know, mitigate

1423
01:24:42,760 --> 01:24:46,280
Speaker 1: that and mitigate them being exposed, all the better. We have.

1424
01:24:46,360 --> 01:24:48,400
Speaker 1: One of the things about this game too, is that

1425
01:24:49,160 --> 01:24:52,639
Speaker 1: if the Dolphins due sense that the Bills pass rush

1426
01:24:52,800 --> 01:24:56,080
Speaker 1: is superior and they got to get the ball out fast.

1427
01:24:57,200 --> 01:24:59,400
Speaker 1: What you kind of look for from Hide and Poyer

1428
01:24:59,560 --> 01:25:03,720
Speaker 1: is there a ability to recognize by formation and personnel

1429
01:25:04,280 --> 01:25:06,800
Speaker 1: where two is first read is gonna be and jump

1430
01:25:06,840 --> 01:25:10,960
Speaker 1: it shut that off. And when he takes that snapbacks

1431
01:25:11,000 --> 01:25:13,840
Speaker 1: two steps up, turns his shoulders and starts to release it.

1432
01:25:14,360 --> 01:25:17,240
Speaker 1: If he senses poorer or hid or another defender coming

1433
01:25:17,280 --> 01:25:19,800
Speaker 1: in between him and his target, he's got to stop,

1434
01:25:20,160 --> 01:25:21,920
Speaker 1: pull the ball down and go to his next read.

1435
01:25:21,960 --> 01:25:25,160
Speaker 1: And by the time you do all of that, theoretically

1436
01:25:25,280 --> 01:25:27,599
Speaker 1: is somebody's in your ear hole exactly, you're on your back.

1437
01:25:28,800 --> 01:25:30,200
Speaker 1: That's the way it has been. That's the way it

1438
01:25:30,360 --> 01:25:32,439
Speaker 1: was last year. In the first line and the first

1439
01:25:32,520 --> 01:25:35,240
Speaker 1: matchup with the Bills, they sacked him to get him off.

1440
01:25:35,240 --> 01:25:37,160
Speaker 1: They sacked him twice in the first series on first

1441
01:25:37,200 --> 01:25:39,880
Speaker 1: and third down. Then they sacked him on first down

1442
01:25:39,920 --> 01:25:44,280
Speaker 1: in the second series and he was out. They hit

1443
01:25:44,360 --> 01:25:47,519
Speaker 1: him three times in the first four plays of the game,

1444
01:25:47,640 --> 01:25:51,160
Speaker 1: offensive snaps of the game. And that's where you want

1445
01:25:51,200 --> 01:25:54,160
Speaker 1: to be as a defense. But that's because this back

1446
01:25:54,280 --> 01:25:56,800
Speaker 1: end of the defense was all over his first read.

1447
01:25:59,280 --> 01:26:01,320
Speaker 1: Now you got an You don't know if if those

1448
01:26:01,360 --> 01:26:03,760
Speaker 1: guys are on that same page and able to make

1449
01:26:03,800 --> 01:26:05,519
Speaker 1: those reads. But I think we can't agree that the

1450
01:26:05,560 --> 01:26:09,439
Speaker 1: pass rush is better. Absolutely may need less help on

1451
01:26:09,520 --> 01:26:13,400
Speaker 1: the back end to be effective. So it's going to

1452
01:26:13,520 --> 01:26:16,519
Speaker 1: be an interesting balance. We know that the Dolphins are

1453
01:26:16,680 --> 01:26:20,160
Speaker 1: using their backup right tackle Greg Little, who afforded himself

1454
01:26:20,200 --> 01:26:22,599
Speaker 1: pretty well. I thought he played pretty well last week

1455
01:26:22,640 --> 01:26:26,000
Speaker 1: against Baltimore. You know, he's been in for Austin Jackson,

1456
01:26:26,080 --> 01:26:29,320
Speaker 1: who is on ir right now. It looks like Tron

1457
01:26:29,439 --> 01:26:31,519
Speaker 1: Armstead's gonna go. Whether he's one hundred percent with that

1458
01:26:31,640 --> 01:26:35,120
Speaker 1: toe injury, we'll find out pretty quickly. You say, oh,

1459
01:26:35,240 --> 01:26:36,800
Speaker 1: how big is a toe injury? Well, when you got

1460
01:26:36,880 --> 01:26:39,880
Speaker 1: a kick slide as an offensive tackle, that's three hundred

1461
01:26:39,880 --> 01:26:44,040
Speaker 1: and thirty pounds, Yeah, pretty important. Their center, Connor Williams,

1462
01:26:44,120 --> 01:26:46,639
Speaker 1: moved from guard to center and they've been They've given

1463
01:26:46,720 --> 01:26:48,920
Speaker 1: him kudos as to how that transition has been, his

1464
01:26:49,040 --> 01:26:52,280
Speaker 1: willingness to embrace it. But Armstead being out. The Armstead

1465
01:26:52,360 --> 01:26:54,479
Speaker 1: is long in the tooth, but that experience counts for

1466
01:26:54,520 --> 01:26:56,720
Speaker 1: a lot, particularly when you got a guy like von

1467
01:26:56,800 --> 01:27:00,320
Speaker 1: Miller coming up at you. But if he's not in there,

1468
01:27:01,200 --> 01:27:06,679
Speaker 1: Miami's offensive line is going to be hamstrung further. Yeah.

1469
01:27:06,880 --> 01:27:10,120
Speaker 1: And so it's Miami's offensive line and their injuries and

1470
01:27:10,160 --> 01:27:13,320
Speaker 1: their depth against the Bills secondary and there and there,

1471
01:27:13,400 --> 01:27:17,280
Speaker 1: and their injuries and their depth both are going against

1472
01:27:17,360 --> 01:27:19,080
Speaker 1: the strength of the other team on that side of

1473
01:27:19,120 --> 01:27:22,120
Speaker 1: the bowl. And in case you missed it, Xavien Howard,

1474
01:27:22,200 --> 01:27:25,280
Speaker 1: their top cornerback, is practicing today. He has a groin

1475
01:27:25,360 --> 01:27:28,439
Speaker 1: injuries dealing if did not practice yesterday, but is on

1476
01:27:28,520 --> 01:27:31,759
Speaker 1: the practice field today. We'll wait for the official injury

1477
01:27:31,800 --> 01:27:35,800
Speaker 1: report to come out to determine his level of participation.

1478
01:27:36,240 --> 01:27:38,439
Speaker 1: We take a break here, Steve and I will wrap

1479
01:27:38,560 --> 01:27:40,479
Speaker 1: things up next here on One Bill's Live, presented by

01:28:24,640 --> 01:28:26,720
Speaker 1: This is the first day, twenty first to September right,

1488
01:28:27,200 --> 01:28:30,000
Speaker 1: twenty sect twenty second. Yesterday was the twenty Yeah, it's

1489
01:28:30,000 --> 01:28:33,600
Speaker 1: slipping away moves. We always say about the season. We

1490
01:28:34,320 --> 01:28:36,200
Speaker 1: were looking so forward to the LA game, and all

1491
01:28:36,200 --> 01:28:38,800
Speaker 1: of a sudden, it's boom. It's Miami Week three. Week

1492
01:28:38,880 --> 01:28:45,679
Speaker 1: three weather down there eighty five is the forecast for Sunday,

1493
01:28:46,320 --> 01:28:49,720
Speaker 1: and you know, we have a different I don't think

1494
01:28:49,800 --> 01:28:54,160
Speaker 1: so that is a cutting paste on the field. It's

1495
01:28:54,200 --> 01:28:59,240
Speaker 1: typically warmer than that, as we know, and they always

1496
01:28:59,280 --> 01:29:01,719
Speaker 1: put the visiting team on the sunny side of the field.

1497
01:29:03,600 --> 01:29:07,880
Speaker 1: But yeah, Sunday, actually eighty seven now is the forecast

1498
01:29:08,040 --> 01:29:11,400
Speaker 1: high forty percent chance of thunderstorms, which is part for

1499
01:29:11,439 --> 01:29:15,080
Speaker 1: the course every single day as well. But as you said,

1500
01:29:15,200 --> 01:29:18,160
Speaker 1: less of an issue in warmth than and cold. So yeah,

1501
01:29:18,360 --> 01:29:19,880
Speaker 1: and a lot of these guys I think would take

1502
01:29:19,880 --> 01:29:23,240
Speaker 1: the heat over the cold absolutely week absolutely, man, can't wait.

1503
01:29:23,400 --> 01:29:25,400
Speaker 1: All right, We're back with a big show on Friday,

1504
01:29:25,439 --> 01:29:27,880
Speaker 1: as we are every week, including Greg Cosell. We'll see

1505
01:29:27,880 --> 01:29:28,639
Speaker 1: you tomorrow at one
