Speaker 2: Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you as we we kind

4
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 2: of we're going to take an assessment today where things stand,

5
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 2: because we're as close as we can get to the

6
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 2: midway point of the season without going over. We are

7
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 2: taking now that they play an odd number of games.

8
00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 2: That's not seventeen in the regular season. It'll want soon

9
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 2: be eighteen before we know it. Steve, last night it was, uh,

10
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:07,960
Speaker 2: it was an interesting sporting night.

11
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:13,319
Speaker 3: You as a Long Island native, we're keenly interested.

12
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 2: I gotta tell you. Well, you know you're looking at

13
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:20,959
Speaker 2: the night and you're like, okay, we got some Monday

14
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:27,560
Speaker 2: night football and World Series Game three Sabers in action

15
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:31,479
Speaker 2: as well. I don't know what the hell happened last night,

16
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:33,959
Speaker 2: but what happened. Yeah, the Monday night game was god

17
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 2: awful nine to nine at halftime.

18
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 3: Yeah.

19
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 2: Uh So after flipping over there, I was like, okay,

20
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 2: apparently not missing anything here go to the Sabers and

21
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 2: uh it's it was two nothing, Florida. I missed the

22
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 2: best part of the game apparently, which was the second period.

23
00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 2: By the time I checked back, it's five to two.

24
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 3: The same with me. I was like, g Willikers like,

25
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 3: oh we go.

26
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 2: I was like, okay, I'll just wallow in my self

27
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 2: pity and watch the Yankees continue to fail to hit

28
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 2: a baseball. After crushing the living daylights out of it

29
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:15,800
Speaker 2: all season, they cannot hit and they have an idiot

30
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 2: as their third base coach. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Yeah,

31
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 2: you have Gan Carlos Stanton on second base. Okay, you

32
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:34,359
Speaker 2: have Gian Carlo Stanton on second base. Everyone in the building,

33
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:41,359
Speaker 2: everyone watching on television knows he cannot run, at least

34
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:45,519
Speaker 2: to score from second on a single to left field.

35
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 2: And even Gan Carlo knows he can't score from second

36
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,080
Speaker 2: on a single to left field. So he is not

37
00:02:55,320 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 2: running hard through third base because he's fully expecting to

38
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 2: get a stop sign. And Louis Rojas decides, we're bringing

39
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 2: him in. We're bringing him in now. Look, I realize

40
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 2: there's two outs. They're starved for runs. He gives Stanton

41
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 2: the wave sign like go home. Stanton looks shocked because

42
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 2: all right, and I mean he is out by a

43
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 2: mile a country to your point, Steve, When he slides.

44
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 2: At the end of his slide, he's still not at

45
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 2: home plate. That's how far up the line he was

46
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 2: and how out he was. The Yankees don't deserve to

47
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 2: win the World Series the way they're playing right now,

48
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 2: but holy moley, are they helping the Dodgers in an

49
00:03:56,600 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 2: impeccable fashion. Whether it's dumb coaching decision or whether it's

50
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 2: just I don't know, poor discipline at the plate, just

51
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 2: weaving at stuff like oh my god, and they're pictures,

52
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 2: just no cajones. Every count last night to the Dodgers

53
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 2: was two to zero.

54
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 3: Every one of them.

55
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 2: How about a first pitch strike somewhere, please anywhere? Well,

56
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:25,719
Speaker 2: I had to turn it off, and I usually am

57
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,480
Speaker 2: a stay to the end guy. I was like, look,

58
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,159
Speaker 2: I got home late from Seattle. I'm not staying up

59
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 2: to punish myself with this. I'm going to bed as

60
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 2: in bed at ten fifteen.

61
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 3: Good night.

62
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 2: Thanks for coming.

63
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:41,479
Speaker 3: Regular listeners to the show know my thoughts about baseball.

64
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 3: I did not know anything about Gene Carlos Stanton, Yeah,

65
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 3: until I saw him round third and I thought it

66
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 3: was a Saturday Night Live joke. He can't run, he

67
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 3: can't run.

68
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:59,040
Speaker 2: This is readily known like he can't run.

69
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:00,679
Speaker 3: He didn't look at able bodied.

70
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 2: Well he is able bodied, but he's he was looked

71
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,480
Speaker 2: in his entire career. He's thirty four.

72
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:11,480
Speaker 3: Now, he looked heavy, unflexible.

73
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:13,679
Speaker 2: Well that's because he's six ' five and two hundred

74
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 2: and thirty pounds.

75
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:20,159
Speaker 3: Does he not work out at all as a professional

76
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 3: A lot? That's why he doesn't run. I'll tell you this,

77
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 3: he does not run well. There are it can be

78
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 3: a major league base. You don't run, you you don't

79
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 3: work on the things you can do. You work on

80
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:34,599
Speaker 3: the things you cannot do. And if he's known for

81
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 3: any length of time that he ran like that, dude,

82
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 3: you got some work to do. I was. I thought

83
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 3: it was a joke. He's slid and I thought he

84
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 3: didn't even he didn't even reach home base. I mean

85
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 3: like he's slid and it looked like he's stopped before

86
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 3: so bad.

87
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 2: I thought it's like they have thought it was a joke.

88
00:05:55,480 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 2: They have gift wrapped this World Series to the and

89
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:02,599
Speaker 2: it all went downhill in Game one. They should have

90
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:04,840
Speaker 2: won Game one, but they didn't do the little things right.

91
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 4: You know.

92
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 2: Glabor Torres Bobble's a throw in from the outfield, the

93
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 2: ball goes skittering away from him. He looks at it,

94
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 2: He's like, oh, I got to go run and get

95
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:14,840
Speaker 2: the ball because somebody's rounding third and scoring because of

96
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 2: this era, Like just just it's all those little things,

97
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 2: those all count. In a World Series where you're playing

98
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 2: the best team in baseball, you have to do all

99
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:25,599
Speaker 2: the little things right to give yourself.

100
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:27,919
Speaker 3: There's a million things to go into it, and you

101
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 3: got to do them all right, particularly when you're in

102
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 3: a game so bad that's at the highest level. I

103
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:40,480
Speaker 3: I'm I'm trying to think, seriously, I mean, even offensive lineman,

104
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:42,840
Speaker 3: defensive lineman, nose tackles. I mean, you know, like guys

105
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 3: like I saw Ted washing it. He looked better running

106
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:48,720
Speaker 3: than gian Carlos Stanton did last night. How is that?

107
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:52,720
Speaker 2: How you how in your right mind you send him home?

108
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 2: Is beyond me.

109
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:55,920
Speaker 3: Because I get it too. There's a lot of baseball

110
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 3: to be played and there and there's not much but

111
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:01,840
Speaker 3: not much now well there's well not now, but during

112
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:04,039
Speaker 3: that game, in that game, I meant and that would

113
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 3: have changed everything. Obviously they've been a two to one series.

114
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:09,040
Speaker 2: Finally got two hits in a row off of Bueller.

115
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 2: So now make him throw some pitches in a long inning.

116
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 2: And they gave they let him out of they let

117
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 2: him off the hook. It's terrible. And that was just

118
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 2: one of a myriad of things. Really was terrible yesterday.

119
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 3: So I was like, Hugh, I was doing some stuff

120
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 3: around the house. I'm getting because you know, we got

121
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 3: stuff to do, and I'm watching the Saves a little bit.

122
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 3: I turned the Saves on. It's like halfway through the

123
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 3: first and they're down to nothing already. I'm like, what

124
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 3: is going on? So I'm back and forth between the

125
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 3: Monday Night game and and then you know, back and

126
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 3: forth then the World Series game, Monday Night game, and

127
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 3: then back to the Sabers and stuff. By the time

128
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 3: I turned it back to the Sabers, it's too two.

129
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 3: Early in the second. I was like, wow, okay, cool.

130
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 3: I watched the first period and it, you know, it

131
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 3: ended to nothing. And then I go over to watch

132
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 3: Monday Night game and I watched the Manning cast and

133
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 3: because it's more entertaining, well for that game, oh my gosh,

134
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 3: are you kidding me? It's a nine to nine at

135
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 3: the half and six field goals. Yes, so I'm watching,

136
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 3: I'm listening to Belichick and Peyton and and Eli and

137
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 3: then they have in the second quarter they have or

138
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 3: maybe it's the third quarter, they have LT on with

139
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 3: Bill Belichick. Belichick's like a regular guest. Now he's your

140
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 3: second quarter, right, So they get on there and they

141
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 3: start laughing about what the stuff they were going in

142
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 3: and it was better than the game. It really was

143
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 3: better than the game. It really was. But so your

144
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 3: great night of sports. It was a horrible night. I

145
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:44,280

149
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 3: like last night.

150
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 2: It's all you can eat.

151
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:58,840

00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:13,839
Speaker 2: I tapped out. I pulled in Anthony Richardson. So I

158
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 2: was tired.

159
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,080
Speaker 3: For those of you who don't know, Anthony Richardson, young

160
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:19,440
Speaker 3: quarterback for the Indianapolis Colts.

161
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 2: Who the Bills may or may not see next week

162
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:22,080
Speaker 2: if he's in the lineup.

163
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:23,840
Speaker 3: Took The reason he may or may not be in

164
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 3: the lineup is he might be tired. He took himself

165
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:29,000
Speaker 3: out of a game.

166
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 2: After running back to the original line of scrimmage on

167
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:33,040
Speaker 2: a scramble.

168
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:33,840
Speaker 3: Because he needed a break.

169
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 2: He said, he was tired up before an upcoming third down.

170
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's that's not something that's usually done in the NFL,

171
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:43,439
Speaker 3: not a.

172
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 2: Quarterback maybe wide receiver after running three go routes right row.

173
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:49,720
Speaker 3: It had to be a couple, wouldn't be just one.

174
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 3: And it might be just because you're in hurry up

175
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 3: and the guy runs off the field and you run

176
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:56,080
Speaker 3: on because you're already lined up kind of thing. Now

177
00:09:56,160 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 3: you get trade spots, yep. But a quarter to Anthony

178
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:01,439
Speaker 3: richard and said, you know, I need I need a break.

179
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 3: I need to stand here and get a drink of

180
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:05,560
Speaker 3: water and take a breath here. So go play this

181
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 3: third down while I while I do that. That wow.

182
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:16,840
Speaker 2: And then in the press conference after the game, he

183
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 2: admits he was tired.

184
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just I just needed to break. He just ran,

185
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 3: He ran back to the huddle. He run back. Yeah,

186
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 3: it was not a It wasn't like a play where

187
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 3: he ran.

188
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 2: That is an example where you lie to the media, right,

189
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 2: Like that's where you do lie to the media.

190
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 3: Threw your teeth with a straight face. Yes, so you

191
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 3: know you say, hey, you know, I had I got dinged.

192
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 2: I needed to collect myself.

193
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 3: I got, I got dinged. I had I had to

194
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 3: get my elb overlooked at whatever whatever.

195
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't don't admit. Yes, I was tired, and

196
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 2: that is why.

197
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 3: I needed a breath. You know. So even when a

198
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 3: wide receiver comes off after running three go routes in

199
00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:58,080
Speaker 3: a row, he'll say it was part of the regular rotation.

200
00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:01,680
Speaker 2: And at least you could justify that the guy's run

201
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 2: like one hundred and fifty yards in three plays, right, Okay, So.

202
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:11,080
Speaker 3: Yes, that's hence Brownie's a joke about Anthony Richardson and

203
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:13,839
Speaker 3: why now they've got their own hot water. They're sitting

204
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 3: in an Indianapolis there the Bills play go there in

205
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 3: two weeks or yeah, twelve days.

206
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 2: Shaneestyke and the head coach. When asked about whether Richardson

207
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:28,559
Speaker 2: will remain the starting quarterback, he said everything is open

208
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:33,080
Speaker 2: to evaluation. Everything is being evaluated, he said, yeah, which

209
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:37,199
Speaker 2: is not a guess. So Flacco is the backup. Wonder

210
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:39,200
Speaker 2: if the Bills, you know, not that they're focused on

211
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 2: it this week, but gotta wonder if the Bills are

212
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:43,840
Speaker 2: going to see Flacco or Anthony.

213
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 3: Richards and you wonder what kind of gamesmanship they're gonna do,

214
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:48,439
Speaker 3: Like we're gonna, we're gonna, we're gonna look at both

215
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 3: guys and are going to tell you who run off?

216
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 2: You know me a little of that, right, We'll see

217
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 2: what happens this week. He's got I saw it on

218
00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 2: a stat sheet. Since two thousand, he has the second

219
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:08,960
Speaker 2: lowest completion percentage for a rookie uh and he's second

220
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 2: only to Achille Smith in two thousand with the Bengals.

221
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:15,360
Speaker 2: That is the only one with a lower completion Now.

222
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 2: In fairness, completion percentage means a lot of things. You know,

223
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:24,320
Speaker 2: it's not just Aaron passes. It's drops and all that.

224
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:28,960
Speaker 2: It doesn't you know, it's not a discerning statistic. And

225
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:30,640
Speaker 2: he does throw a lot of deep balls, which are

226
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:34,840
Speaker 2: low percentage throws, but all of that being all of

227
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 2: that being said, maybe not complete. He's at forty four

228
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:41,679
Speaker 2: points something percent completion rate. And only Achille Smith in

229
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:43,720
Speaker 2: his rookie season was worse than since.

230
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 3: I was with since I was with CBS in the NFL.

231
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:51,560
Speaker 3: On CBS during Achill Smith was a bust and I

232
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:56,440
Speaker 3: did some Achille Smith games. It was it was bad.

233
00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:59,440
Speaker 2: That's where you're at. That's where you're at. So we'll

234
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 2: see what happened. Hard to say. This week's game against

235
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:07,840
Speaker 2: the Dolphins, presented by Ticketmaster, the official ticket marketplace of

236
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:12,280
Speaker 2: the NFL. Bill's practice updates presented by lee Colm Lake

237
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:15,200
Speaker 2: Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine. They're not practicing today. Obviously,

238
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 2: they'll get back on the practice field tomorrow. Head coach

239
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:20,719
Speaker 2: Sean McDermott addressed the media yesterday and did not have

240
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 2: any updates on any injured players coming out of the

241
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:29,080
Speaker 2: Seattle game, nor did they have an update on the

242
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 2: two players who missed that game, namely Curtis Samuel or

243
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 2: Terrell Bernard. He said both of those players would be

244
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 2: going through a rehabilitation workout today and that he would

245
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:45,320
Speaker 2: know more tomorrow. So really nothing new on either of

246
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 2: those two players, and you got to believe that you

247
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 2: obviously want those guys back as soon as possible. Bill's

248
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 2: will get von Miller back from suspension this week. There

249
00:13:57,679 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 2: is an open spot on the rosters, so he'll just

250
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 2: be added off of the reserve suspended list to the

251
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:05,960
Speaker 2: active roster because there's a roster spot after Dwayne Carter

252
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:08,599
Speaker 2: went on injured reserve last week as he's going to

253
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 2: undergo wrist surgery for his wrist injury. So that's kind

254
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 2: of where we stand there. Let's go around the NFL,

255
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 2: which is presented by Kalida Health, the official healthcare system

256
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 2: of the Buffalo Bills, and we begrudgingly pass along the

257
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 2: Monday Night football results as it was a snoozefest for

258
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:28,920
Speaker 2: a while. It got a little exciting at the end,

259
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 2: but the Steelers ultimately dropped the Giants twenty six to eighteen.

260
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 2: Steelers receiver and return man Calvin Austin at Pittsburgh's only

261
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 2: two touchdowns, first on a seventy three yard punt return

262
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 2: and then the other on a twenty nine yard pass

263
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 2: from Russell Wilson, as the Steelers improved to six and

264
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:48,680
Speaker 2: are they six and three or six and three.

265
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:52,840
Speaker 3: Uh yeah, six and three, so no, six and two,

266
00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 3: six and two.

267
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:54,840
Speaker 2: Oh they are six and two.

268
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:55,360
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah.

269
00:14:56,120 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 2: Uh the Giants fell to two and six, so they

270
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 2: have the opposite record, and the Steelers at six and

271
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:09,480
Speaker 2: two atop the a f C North ahead of the

272
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 2: five and three Ravens.

273
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:17,480
Speaker 3: Yes, they are the The Steelers just get it done

274
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:21,040
Speaker 3: any which way. Their defense still continues to be lights

275
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:23,440
Speaker 3: out up front. T J Watt was a was an

276
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 3: absolute game record for them last night. Uh. He sacks,

277
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:32,200
Speaker 3: strip fumbles and recovers the fumble. It's unbelievable. Daniel Jones

278
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 3: continues to be just a guy who.

279
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 2: Zero touchdowns last night, sacked four times. He oh my lord.

280
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:43,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, we were watching some of the highlights now and

281
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 3: it's not pretty. The the front for the defense, for

282
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:52,800
Speaker 3: the Steelers defense is is just it's a real problem

283
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 3: for everybody. And uh yeah, the Giants had no answer

284
00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:03,600
Speaker 3: for it that they I think they're working with limitations

285
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 3: in their roster.

286
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:08,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, And there was some controversy as well. Former first

287
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 2: round pick Deontae Banks for the Giants pulled in the

288
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:18,280
Speaker 2: second quarter in favor of practice squad elevation. Greg Stroman junior.

289
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:22,400
Speaker 2: The move came after Banks knocked wide receiver George Pickens

290
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:24,080
Speaker 2: out of the end zone but didn't make a play

291
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 2: for the ball. Table benched him and basically told him

292
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:33,880
Speaker 2: need better effort. He said today in his press conference

293
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 2: after the game that Banks will remain in the starting

294
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:37,800
Speaker 2: lineup this week and that Daniel Jones is still the

295
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 2: starter at quarterback after his zero touchdown performance against Pittsburgh.

296
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 2: We mentioned the Ravens now five and three on the season.

297
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 2: Their loss last week to the Browns Steve was their

298
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 2: eighth loss since the start of the twenty twenty two season.

299
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:58,480
Speaker 2: After leading on the scoreboard in the final two minutes.

300
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 2: Now we're talking about two and a half seasons, they've

301
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:06,119
Speaker 2: lost eight games despite having the lead in the final

302
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:09,119
Speaker 2: two minutes. Of those eight games, they have outscored their

303
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:12,919
Speaker 2: opponents by double digits in every quarter this season except

304
00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:17,359
Speaker 2: the fourth quarter, when opponents have outscored them ninety five

305
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 2: to fifty eight. This is an epidemic for that.

306
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:23,720
Speaker 3: Yes, it's a problem. It's it's a real thing. They

307
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:27,400
Speaker 3: even when they got to the to the Bills game,

308
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 3: when both those teams were ride and high, they had

309
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 3: already blown a couple of double digit leads in the

310
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:37,880
Speaker 3: fourth quarter before the Bills played lost to the Raiders, right,

311
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 3: the Raiders for goodness sake, I mean at home, Yes,

312
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:44,520
Speaker 3: and that was that was a shocker. So all of

313
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:47,600
Speaker 3: that stuff going on that it hasn't gone away, it's

314
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:48,160
Speaker 3: still there.

315
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 2: And just lost to the Browns and Jamis Winston.

316
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:53,639
Speaker 3: Last week they lost. They blew a lead to the

317
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:57,119
Speaker 3: Kansas City Chiefs, Right, Kansas chief Chiefs and weak one. Yeah,

318
00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:01,160
Speaker 3: Crators did the exact same thing. The Cowboys almost came

319
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:03,239
Speaker 3: back and did the exact same thing to them. Then

320
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:07,160
Speaker 3: they blew the Bills out. In week four, Bengals, same thing.

321
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:10,679
Speaker 3: They just eked out the win. So it's been a

322
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:15,920
Speaker 3: real problem for the Ravens. And I don't know how

323
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 3: to get your mind racked because all these games we've

324
00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:20,200
Speaker 3: seen it here in Buffalo all too often as well,

325
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:21,960
Speaker 3: where you get in you know, Josh walks off the

326
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:24,399
Speaker 3: field inside the two minutes and at least you've got

327
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:29,000
Speaker 3: a lead and you're facing a desperate offense. So every

328
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:31,399
Speaker 3: game is a little different, you know, timeouts, time on

329
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:33,960
Speaker 3: the clock, down in distance, field position.

330
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:36,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, but the Bills defense has been great. The last

331
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:39,080
Speaker 2: two weeks nailing down that's right. Games. I mean seventy

332
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:43,080
Speaker 2: yards allowed to the Titans in Week seven. You know,

333
00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:46,200
Speaker 2: they give up a touchdown drive late in the game

334
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:47,440
Speaker 2: last week, but that was it.

335
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 3: But this one, and I think a little bit of

336
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 3: it is because they did it against the Cleveland Browns,

337
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:59,200
Speaker 3: who have been a laughing stock thus far in the

338
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:03,840
Speaker 3: league in this the season, and the Browns rise up

339
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:05,480
Speaker 3: and do it with their backup.

340
00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:07,800
Speaker 2: Quarterback, technically their third string quarterback.

341
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:12,480
Speaker 3: That's right. So it looks bad there for Baltimore in

342
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:15,120
Speaker 3: a game like this, but they're still the same team

343
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:19,080
Speaker 3: and they're gonna come out and they'll play well. They

344
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:22,880
Speaker 3: have Denver this week at home or in Denver, so.

345
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:24,160
Speaker 2: That's a good defense.

346
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:26,199
Speaker 3: That is a good defense. So we'll see.

347
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:29,360
Speaker 2: The groin injury that Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Loves

348
00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:32,000
Speaker 2: sustained and the win Sunday over Jacksonville not expected to

349
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:35,480
Speaker 2: keep him sideline. Long term tests did not show any

350
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:41,240
Speaker 2: significant damage considered a strain. One Green Bay source said

351
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:44,919
Speaker 2: his availability for Sunday's big NFC North showdown against the

352
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 2: Lions will come down to how he feels and how

353
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:52,160
Speaker 2: he progresses through the week. It's a big game for them.

354
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:54,520
Speaker 3: Here's the thing. You get a pulled muscle like that

355
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:58,800
Speaker 3: at quarterbacks, you can always go out there. If he

356
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:02,160
Speaker 3: can throw by midweek or whatever, he's gonna get better

357
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:03,440
Speaker 3: in a couple of days, but you know, you got

358
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:05,919
Speaker 3: to get significantly better. Will he be able to go?

359
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,359
Speaker 3: And at some point during that game, he's gonna have

360
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:11,760
Speaker 3: to go hard, ye, Like he's gonnap it and rip it,

361
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:15,320
Speaker 3: and he's gonna have to step away. Well yeah, but

362
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 3: he's gonna have to run oh yeah, mobile a step

363
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:20,360
Speaker 3: or two at least, or to shuffle away at least.

364
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:23,240
Speaker 3: He's gonna be mobile in the pocket. And at some

365
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:27,119
Speaker 3: point he's gonna ask probably too much of a strained muscle.

366
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:30,760
Speaker 3: And then now you lose him for three weeks.

367
00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:32,680
Speaker 2: So you wonder if you sit him this week, get

368
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:33,760
Speaker 2: him right?

369
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:35,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know how bad it is, you know,

370
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 3: And whether there is.

371
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:39,000
Speaker 2: Really a hobbling to the sideline last week?

372
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:45,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, yes, but you saw me hobbling around my pulled

373
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:46,080
Speaker 3: calf muscle.

374
00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:48,840
Speaker 2: Here at the office right here.

375
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:52,720
Speaker 3: So it felt significantly better if you just stay off

376
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:54,600
Speaker 3: for a couple of you know, so he doesn't have

377
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:56,760
Speaker 3: to be one hundred percent with that.

378
00:20:57,200 --> 00:20:58,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, but.

379
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:04,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's don't take it. He's that that's your court.

380
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:07,399
Speaker 3: Don't take a chance. Yes, it's important the lines. It's

381
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:10,400
Speaker 3: an enormous game, but you're you're doing fine. I mean,

382
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:13,359
Speaker 3: you got to give yourselves a chance to do it

383
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:17,720
Speaker 3: without him, because you know, ten games is a long

384
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:21,159
Speaker 3: time to go in this. You know they've got you know,

385
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:25,520
Speaker 3: they've got two losses. They got Detroit then the bye.

386
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:28,440
Speaker 2: And Malik Willis hasn't looked bad in the times he's

387
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:29,520
Speaker 2: had to start in his absence.

388
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:32,920
Speaker 3: They they got Detroit then the bye, I mean, come on,

389
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 3: and then they got the Bears. So which Green Bay

390
00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 3: and the Chicago Bears? Is you know that field and

391
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:44,560
Speaker 3: McCoy's of the NFL A little sure, right, So there's

392
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:47,200
Speaker 3: there's no way I take a chance with him against

393
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:50,439
Speaker 3: that Detroit team. I get it. Detroit is the flavor

394
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:53,880
Speaker 3: of the division game. Division game. It's enormous Detroit again,

395
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:57,359
Speaker 3: and it's a huge measuring stick. But yeah, you get them,

396
00:21:57,400 --> 00:21:59,400
Speaker 3: you get Detroit, and if.

397
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:02,240
Speaker 2: If one to three more Division four more division games

398
00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:04,639
Speaker 2: after that, so yeah, yeah, I would sit them properly.

399
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:07,720
Speaker 2: Forty nine ers running back Christian McCaffrey has reached an

400
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:11,120
Speaker 2: important benchmark in his recovery from achilles tendonitis in both

401
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:14,040
Speaker 2: of his legs. He's missed the first eight games because

402
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:19,600
Speaker 2: of the injury. Coach Kyle Shanahan said he's doing simulated

403
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:22,919
Speaker 2: practice stuff with an eye toward opening his practice window

404
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:27,920
Speaker 2: on November fourth, which would be next week. This is

405
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:31,440
Speaker 2: the quote from Shanahan. It depends how this week goes.

406
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:33,920
Speaker 2: He's had no setback, so it looks like we're on track.

407
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:35,600
Speaker 2: But he's going to hit it hard this week while

408
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:38,280
Speaker 2: we're gone. As long as it all goes good, hopefully

409
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:41,879
Speaker 2: we'll get him back in practice next week. Bill's play

410
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:43,760
Speaker 2: the forty nine ers in about a month.

411
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:47,720
Speaker 3: I've never heard of anybody having tendonitis in both achilles tendons.

412
00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:54,040
Speaker 3: That's that's strange to me, plause it came at the

413
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:56,399
Speaker 3: end of training camp. Well, was he in training camp?

414
00:22:56,880 --> 00:23:00,800
Speaker 2: I think so, yeah, because nobody knew he was going

415
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:02,920
Speaker 2: to miss the opener until like a few days before,

416
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:05,120
Speaker 2: and then all of a sudden it was like, yeah,

417
00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:05,800
Speaker 2: we're putting him.

418
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:09,800
Speaker 3: An ir now crazy. Well, I don't know.

419
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:14,760
Speaker 2: I So practicing next week means he could probably play

420
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:18,440
Speaker 2: by week ten, I guess, right, So yeah, if all,

421
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:20,840
Speaker 2: if he has no more setbacks, I suppose.

422
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:24,080
Speaker 3: San Francisco's like right now, they're like sitting at tenth

423
00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:28,000
Speaker 3: in the NFC at four and four, so they've kind

424
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:30,040
Speaker 3: of hung in there without Well, I'm not saying.

425
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:32,400
Speaker 2: Their division is not great, right, they're right there near

426
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 2: the top.

427
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:36,240
Speaker 3: Everybody is at four. Everybody's been a game of each other. Yeah,

428
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:42,119
Speaker 3: so I'm so they're hanging in there without him.

429
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:42,840
Speaker 2: The guy backing him up though, Jordan Mason just got

430
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:44,840
Speaker 2: heard last week. I don't know the severity of that injury,

431
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:47,200
Speaker 2: but I saw he left the game last week.

432
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:51,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, there, we'll see. I would I would be yeah.

433
00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:55,560
Speaker 2: Topic topic of discussion for you today as that is

434
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:58,879
Speaker 2: around the NFL. Wrap that up. Topic of discussion for

435
00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:02,440
Speaker 2: you today. What is your your mid season opinion of

436
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:05,000
Speaker 2: the Bills? Kind of also like to know if it's

437
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 2: changed since the start of the season, so you can

438
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:09,880
Speaker 2: let us know your thoughts on that subject to AIGHTO

439
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:12,840
Speaker 2: three oh five fifty won eight eight eight five fifty

440
00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:15,439
Speaker 2: two five fifty the numbers to join us, and we

441
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 2: do have open phone lines for you. Six and two

442
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:24,880
Speaker 2: top the division with some margin for error. In light

443
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:27,800
Speaker 2: of how the race looks right now. You had a

444
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:30,119
Speaker 2: lot of new pieces get added to the roster. You

445
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:32,520
Speaker 2: probably had opinions at the beginning of the season, So

446
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:35,560
Speaker 2: tell us now, what is your mid season opinion of

447
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:37,880
Speaker 2: the Bills eight oh three, oh five fifty one eight

448
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:39,240
Speaker 2: eight eight five fifty two five.

449
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:42,760
Speaker 3: Fifty I'm my thoughts on this, my opinion of the

450
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:46,439
Speaker 3: Bill because everybody knows I'm I'm always bullish on this.

451
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 3: I think they're gonna I told you I thought they

452
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:49,760
Speaker 3: were gonna be grad I thought they're gonna be the

453
00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:52,080
Speaker 3: high scoring offense in the league. I thought all that stuff.

454
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:53,800
Speaker 3: So I was high on them from the beginning. You

455
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:56,400
Speaker 3: know what has really changed for me, it's my opinion

456
00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:59,960
Speaker 3: about the Jets in Miami. The rest of the divis

457
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:05,119
Speaker 3: vision stinks, which kind of drops it right in your lap.

458
00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:09,040
Speaker 3: This trajectory of the Bills are on is exactly where

459
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:11,840
Speaker 3: I thought they'd be, And actually you can see tangible

460
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:13,399
Speaker 3: evidence they're getting better and better and better, and I

461
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:15,480
Speaker 3: thought they would with the new players they had, particularly

462
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:17,880
Speaker 3: at the skill positions, they get more comfortable, more comfortable

463
00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:22,000
Speaker 3: and more comfortable, and Keon Coleman has developed markedly throughout

464
00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:24,879
Speaker 3: the season, week by week by week. Khalil Shakir is

465
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:28,119
Speaker 3: doing stuff nobody's ever done before as far as it

466
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:31,119
Speaker 3: catch percentage. Kincaid's who we thought he was, Knox is

467
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:34,320
Speaker 3: who we thought he was. Cook is exactly and who

468
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:36,480
Speaker 3: we thought he was and better. And Ray Davis is

469
00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:38,639
Speaker 3: better than we thought he ever could be. So you

470
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:42,119
Speaker 3: got and the offensive line is rolling. So this is

471
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:44,720
Speaker 3: this side of the football is where we thought they

472
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:47,920
Speaker 3: would be, and even getting better and better and better

473
00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:50,480
Speaker 3: now Mary Cooper, who we didn't have any idea about that.

474
00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:54,000
Speaker 3: So this this team is right where we thought it

475
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:58,640
Speaker 3: was and even a little better. The difference for me

476
00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 3: is what's happening around him in AFC and in their division.

477
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:07,359
Speaker 3: The Jet Brownie is like a prophet. The Jets self

478
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:10,800
Speaker 3: sabotaged themselves in the first half of the season. That

479
00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:14,639
Speaker 3: was gonna be so great for them, like four games

480
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:17,160
Speaker 3: in three, five games in, they were like, just pull

481
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:18,320
Speaker 3: the ripcord.

482
00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:23,159
Speaker 2: Do you think Woody Johnson actually took the time to

483
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:27,400
Speaker 2: see the level of success that NFL teams have when

484
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:29,600
Speaker 2: they make a mid season coaching change. There's no way

485
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:32,080
Speaker 2: he looked that up to see what the history of

486
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:35,800
Speaker 2: the league would tell you, Because what the history of

487
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:38,639
Speaker 2: the league would tell you is since since the merger

488
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:42,400
Speaker 2: in nineteen seventy, or actually in the Super Bowl era,

489
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:45,840
Speaker 2: so going back to sixty six, only one team that

490
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:49,359
Speaker 2: made a mid season coaching change reached the playoffs, and

491
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:52,600
Speaker 2: it was the twenty twenty one Raiders with Rich Bisaccia,

492
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:54,359
Speaker 2: and they got to the wild card round and lost.

493
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:57,400
Speaker 2: Before that, you got to go back to World War Two,

494
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:01,000
Speaker 2: like I think there was actually I think there was

495
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:03,840
Speaker 2: one in fifty in the fifties, and then two in

496
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:08,240
Speaker 2: the forties. But I mean, it doesn't happen, Yeah, it doesn't.

497
00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:10,200
Speaker 2: And one of them was because George Hallis left to

498
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:11,680
Speaker 2: go fight in World War Two.

499
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:14,480
Speaker 3: He got he put it, he put a enlisted, he

500
00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:20,359
Speaker 3: was a soldier uniformy PU. Yeah that yeah, I would say, no,

501
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:23,160
Speaker 3: he probably didn't do that research I would. I would

502
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:25,920
Speaker 3: say that would If that doesn't dissuade you, what I mean,

503
00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:26,640
Speaker 3: what's going to.

504
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:31,160
Speaker 2: It may not have anyway, but I mean he's he's

505
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:32,040
Speaker 2: getting what he asked for.

506
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:34,560
Speaker 3: But that's what's that's what's changed for me. My opinion

507
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 3: about the bills and The topic of the day is,

508
00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:39,320
Speaker 3: you know where you think they are midseason? They are

509
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:41,800
Speaker 3: on sched maybe a little ahead of state there on schedule.

510
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:44,320
Speaker 3: Now they're on schedule in the field, I didn't think

511
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:47,160
Speaker 3: they'd be. I didn't six and two. I thought five

512
00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:50,720
Speaker 3: and three maybe hopefully, you know, I didn't know. You know,

513
00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:52,400
Speaker 3: you take a shot at that. But six and two

514
00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:54,600
Speaker 3: is a little ahead of where I thought they'd be.

515
00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:56,159
Speaker 3: But on the field, I think they're right where they

516
00:27:56,200 --> 00:28:01,280
Speaker 3: need to be. And I think quality of play, of

517
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:05,840
Speaker 3: play and you know, the upside everything that what's really

518
00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:09,280
Speaker 3: changed for me, like I said, is the dumpster fire

519
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:11,480
Speaker 3: that Dolphins and the Jets are.

520
00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:13,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think the Dolphins can climb out of it.

521
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:16,080
Speaker 2: Now it's all do it back and we'll see. We'll

522
00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:18,600
Speaker 2: see how We'll get it a look at it up

523
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:21,159
Speaker 2: close and personal this week to see if they can

524
00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:23,560
Speaker 2: climb back into the race. But in the meantime, let's

525
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:25,119
Speaker 2: go to the phones where you got people waiting. We

526
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:27,720
Speaker 2: go to Steve in Virginia. First, what's up, Steve.

527
00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:32,040
Speaker 5: Hey, dudes, how are you doing good? Good? First of all,

528
00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:34,320
Speaker 5: quick shout out to my brother and Ollie and who's

529
00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:37,040
Speaker 5: going through some stuff. Love you, bro, He's a lifelong

530
00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:39,400
Speaker 5: Bills fan. On a happier note, I'm going through a

531
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:43,400
Speaker 5: YouTube video Steve Tasker one hundred fourteen highlights makes me

532
00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:45,600
Speaker 5: want to rewatch your mvball.

533
00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:48,880
Speaker 3: There you go, There you go, thanks man.

534
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:53,200
Speaker 5: Okay, two defensive questions. First of all, can you explain

535
00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:56,360
Speaker 5: to me the difference between in game versus halftime adjustments

536
00:28:56,560 --> 00:29:01,240
Speaker 5: and why it's difficult to do halftime adjustments during the

537
00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:04,400
Speaker 5: game or is it? And the second question is it's

538
00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:08,120
Speaker 5: easy to long for nose tackles like william Smerlis, Adams

539
00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:11,200
Speaker 5: and Washington. I know our stats for the red zone,

540
00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:15,400
Speaker 5: but can you explain the defensive philosophy with the lighter players,

541
00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:18,360
Speaker 5: et cetera, faster players when we get dashed on the

542
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:20,440
Speaker 5: runs in the rest of the field sometimes.

543
00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:22,320
Speaker 2: Okay, no problem, Steve. Thanks.

544
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:26,720
Speaker 3: I'll say that. As far as in game adjustments and

545
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:31,040
Speaker 3: halftime one of them, it's to me and I may

546
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:33,640
Speaker 3: be they may be doing it different these days because

547
00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 3: I'm you know, I'm out of it for a long time,

548
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:39,120
Speaker 3: But to me, it was always about this. At halftime,

549
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:42,960
Speaker 3: the coordinators who are up in the booth can sit

550
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:48,200
Speaker 3: down and talk to everybody at once and give them

551
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:50,520
Speaker 3: the entire message. Here's what we're going to do, and

552
00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:52,920
Speaker 3: it's a total man and everybody gets right there and

553
00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:55,520
Speaker 3: they hear everybody hears the same thing the same way.

554
00:29:57,280 --> 00:29:58,719
Speaker 3: End game. They got to talk to him one at

555
00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:02,120
Speaker 3: a time on a phone, right, they can call down

556
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:04,320
Speaker 3: to the quarterbacks coach and he can relay the message

557
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:06,640
Speaker 3: from the coordinator, all of that, but it's it's herky.

558
00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:09,880
Speaker 3: The communication is just hurky jerky. They don't know, you know,

559
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:11,840
Speaker 3: you don't look at the guy. That's why some coordinators

560
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:13,000
Speaker 3: want to look at the guy in the eye and

561
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:17,560
Speaker 3: tell him and talk to him. The message becomes translated

562
00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:22,040
Speaker 3: rather than straight from the source. And it's hard to

563
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:25,320
Speaker 3: talk to the twenty three guys on the offensive side

564
00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:28,400
Speaker 3: of the ball all at once between series like you

565
00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:30,239
Speaker 3: can at halftime when they're all sitting there looking at

566
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:34,800
Speaker 3: your face. It's that simple to me. Also same and

567
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:38,200
Speaker 3: the same thing goes with the the data that they're

568
00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:41,080
Speaker 3: distilling into the information that goes to the players. The

569
00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:46,120
Speaker 3: coaches are all in headphones and they're talking about but

570
00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:48,120
Speaker 3: nobody's look at each other. They're not there together. So

571
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:49,920
Speaker 3: one guy talks the other guy talk, you know, so

572
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:54,720
Speaker 3: it's hurky jerky communication and you can't you don't get

573
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:57,520
Speaker 3: the full message because he's only talking. You know, you're

574
00:30:57,560 --> 00:31:01,320
Speaker 3: only hearing one or two voices on the on the headphones.

575
00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:05,400
Speaker 3: So even the coaching staff has to communicate one at

576
00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:09,640
Speaker 3: a time, piece by piece. That's why it's easier at

577
00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:12,120
Speaker 3: halftime to say, hey, give the whole picture, here's what's

578
00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:14,120
Speaker 3: going on, here's what they're doing, because then the players

579
00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:17,080
Speaker 3: get context as to why they're doing what they want

580
00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:18,680
Speaker 3: to do, and that makes a difference.

581
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:21,560
Speaker 2: And just very quickly with regard to the defensive linemen,

582
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:24,160
Speaker 2: they have defensive tackles that go three hundred twenty three

583
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:26,000
Speaker 2: hundred and twenty five pounds day. Kwon Jones is a

584
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:28,520
Speaker 2: three hundred twenty pounds man. The style of the Bills

585
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:31,400
Speaker 2: play is an up the field penetrating style, so you

586
00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:34,200
Speaker 2: need suddenness and explosion from all of your players, not

587
00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:37,480
Speaker 2: just three out of the four goal line. Things get

588
00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:39,440
Speaker 2: a little bit different obviously, or when the field is

589
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:43,360
Speaker 2: shortened inside the red zone, but that's generally why you

590
00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:45,479
Speaker 2: see what you see in terms of the roster makeup

591
00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:48,280
Speaker 2: along the defensive line got to go to break, we're

592
00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:50,640
Speaker 2: taking your phone calls on the other side. Two quick

593
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:54,720
Speaker 2: NFL notes, It is official in Indianapolis. Anthony Richardson has

594
00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:58,320
Speaker 2: been benched in favor of Joe Flacco, who will start

595
00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:00,600
Speaker 2: this week for the Colts. And and this just in

596
00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:04,800
Speaker 2: as well, Stefan Diggs has torn his acl. His season

597
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:09,440
Speaker 2: is over. Your phone calls next when we return. What

598
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:11,960
Speaker 2: is your mid season opinion of the Bills? Back in

599
00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:14,040
Speaker 2: a flash on one Bills Live presented by Cold of Health,

600
00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:24,640
Speaker 2: It's Buffalo Bills Radio. All right back here on one

601
00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:26,800
Speaker 2: Bills Live. Get in here. Right before the break, we

602
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:30,160
Speaker 2: gave you a couple other NFL notes that Anthony Richardson

603
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:32,080
Speaker 2: has been benched in Indie, Joe Flacco is going to

604
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:34,760
Speaker 2: start Sunday night. I believe they play the Vikings this week.

605
00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:40,160
Speaker 2: And then Stefan Diggs, the MRI did reveal a torn acl,

606
00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:43,280
Speaker 2: so unfortunately for him, his season is over after just

607
00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:46,800
Speaker 2: eight games with the Texans and he will be a

608
00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:51,080
Speaker 2: free agent after this season. He got his contract torn

609
00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:54,960
Speaker 2: up when he went there and basically signed a one

610
00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:56,920
Speaker 2: year deal with Houston, so he will be a free

611
00:32:56,960 --> 00:33:00,800
Speaker 2: agent at age thirty one this offseason. So there it

612
00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:06,600
Speaker 2: is got to mention to you. I'm sorry. This is

613
00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:11,760
Speaker 2: my bad. I totally forgot this. Well, I gotta tell

00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:14,880
Speaker 2: you I'm gonna I'm going to get back to it later.

615
00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:17,920
Speaker 2: I'm not ready right now. We got to get back

616
00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:20,120
Speaker 2: to the phones at eight oh three five fifty one

00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:22,680
Speaker 2: eight eight five fifty two fifty the number to get

618

Speaker 2: on board. We have some callers waiting patiently, so we'll

619
00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:27,680
Speaker 2: go there. As we're asking you today, what is your

620
00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:31,040
Speaker 2: mid season opinion of your six and two bills? We

621
00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:34,479
Speaker 2: go to Tim in South Carolina next, what's up? Tim?

622
00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:37,560
Speaker 6: Happy Tuesday, fellas. I appreciate you guys having me on here.

623
00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:40,080
Speaker 6: I just wanted to start with the offense and say

624
00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:42,560
Speaker 6: props to Brandon Bean. I can't say enough about him

625
00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:44,840
Speaker 6: for making making the move for Mariy Cooper. I think

626
00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:46,520
Speaker 6: that it opens up a lot of different things on

627
00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:49,480
Speaker 6: the offense, and I'm just really happy that that Jets

628
00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:53,280
Speaker 6: win didn't to tear him from pivoting. Still, so props there.

629
00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:55,640
Speaker 6: But also I wanted to just touch on the defense

630
00:33:55,680 --> 00:34:00,160
Speaker 6: really quick. I really love how younger kind of backup

631
00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:02,960
Speaker 6: roles are getting sprinkled in. I think that it really

632
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:06,040
Speaker 6: bodes well for us moving forward. Steve always says injuries

633
00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:08,600
Speaker 6: are one hundred percent in this league and typically the

634
00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:10,480
Speaker 6: reason why I feel we beat the Chiefs in the

635
00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:12,880
Speaker 6: regular season is because we're usually pretty healthy when we

636
00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:15,080
Speaker 6: play him, and then when we catch them in the playoffs.

637
00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:17,759
Speaker 6: We got people like aj Klein, no disrespect coming off

638
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:21,160
Speaker 6: the couch. So seeing spector being sprinkled in, seeing some

639
00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:24,360
Speaker 6: Cam Lewis on a weekly basis, solov In at the

640
00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:27,120
Speaker 6: end of the game. There I would like to see

641
00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:28,840
Speaker 6: a little bit more of Kay or Elm. He sprinkled

642
00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:29,680
Speaker 6: in at the end of the game.

643
00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:30,560
Speaker 7: But that's just me.

644
00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:34,319
Speaker 6: So I can't say enough good things about that. And

645
00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:35,799
Speaker 6: then I just want to ask you guys a quick question.

646
00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:37,239
Speaker 6: I think at the tune in yesterday, I'm sure you

647
00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:40,000
Speaker 6: talked about it. Our penalties up across the league this year.

648
00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:44,040
Speaker 6: I just feel like twenty two penalties the one game

649
00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:45,919
Speaker 6: against the Bills and then followed up by twenty four

650
00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:48,799
Speaker 6: penalties last week. I believe I just am I going

651
00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:52,080
Speaker 6: crazy or is it a league wide thing? But that's

652
00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:53,400
Speaker 6: all I had for you. Thank you guys so much

653
00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:54,480
Speaker 6: for having me on. Appreciate you.

654
00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:56,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, I could check it Tim. I thought I read

655
00:34:56,960 --> 00:35:02,040
Speaker 2: something last week that said they were up. I have

656
00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:03,799
Speaker 2: the means to check that out, so as soon as

657
00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:05,000
Speaker 2: I get a second I will.

658
00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:07,759
Speaker 3: Yeah, keep listening. We'll have it on for the next

659
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:10,839
Speaker 3: in the next segment, maybe we'll get back to it. Yeah,

660
00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:11,480
Speaker 3: we'll check that.

661
00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:15,120
Speaker 2: Let's move along and we go to Cindy in Niagara Falls.

662
00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:15,760
Speaker 2: What's up, Cindy.

663
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:20,080
Speaker 8: Hi, guys, thanks for taking my call. I just wanted

664
00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:28,200
Speaker 8: to say my opinion about the mid season for the Bills.

665
00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:33,319
Speaker 8: You know, like any other team, Josh Allen and all

666
00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:37,520
Speaker 8: the players have to learn to trust each other, and

667
00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:42,800
Speaker 8: I think that's happening, and the Bills are so good

668
00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:48,520
Speaker 8: at that in incorporating the all the you know, the

669
00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:53,520
Speaker 8: love and the camaraderie in the locker room. And they

670
00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:57,760
Speaker 8: also want to just say that I think Josh Allen

671
00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:02,640
Speaker 8: is a wonderful actor. Or he sometimes I don't even

672
00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:07,080
Speaker 8: know where the ball is when he's got the you know,

673
00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:09,799
Speaker 8: they they give him the.

674
00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:14,080
Speaker 9: Ball and I don't even know where it is.

675
00:36:14,680 --> 00:36:19,640
Speaker 8: So he's a good actor. So I'm encouraged by the

676
00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:21,080
Speaker 8: Bills right now.

677
00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:22,600
Speaker 5: Thank you, thank you.

678
00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:26,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, He's had me fooled a couple of times on

679
00:36:26,719 --> 00:36:30,279
Speaker 2: some read option plays. And I think he's also an

680
00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:34,280
Speaker 2: outstanding actor when it comes to getting hit by defensive players.

681
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:38,120
Speaker 2: That was unquestionably a helmet to helmet hit by Derek

682
00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:40,520
Speaker 2: Hall when he got yelled at by his own teammate

683
00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:43,160
Speaker 2: for hitting Josh late, which led to a roughing the

684
00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:46,680
Speaker 2: passer penalty. But Josh throws the arms up, you know.

685
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:48,480
Speaker 3: Curses the head back falls.

686
00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:52,800
Speaker 2: He is an extreme embellisher.

687
00:36:51,840 --> 00:36:56,480
Speaker 3: Yes he is. He and Mahomes Yeah, are both really good.

688
00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:59,759
Speaker 3: All of them are are really good at it. I'll

689
00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:02,239
Speaker 3: say this though, Cindy, Yes, Josh is a very good actor.

690
00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:05,280
Speaker 3: Has great ball handling skills. You want to see somebody

691
00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:08,120
Speaker 3: that gives teams fits and ball handling here and to

692
00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:10,719
Speaker 3: see it this weekend to a tongue of Iiloa and

693
00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:13,760
Speaker 3: his ability to handle the ball like that and hide

694
00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:16,840
Speaker 3: it and ball fake and do all of that stuff

695
00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:20,000
Speaker 3: is one of the integral parts of the Miami offense.

696
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:23,400
Speaker 3: They need him to be able to do that because

697
00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:29,800
Speaker 3: it buys him more time in the pocket. It allows

698
00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:33,600
Speaker 3: him to get defenders to take steps the wrong way

699
00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:36,919
Speaker 3: and open up bigger windows for quick release passes. You'll

700
00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:39,759
Speaker 3: see that a ton this week. The Dolphins do that

701
00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:43,040
Speaker 3: a lot, uh, and Tua has to be really good

702
00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:48,160
Speaker 3: at it. So yes, while Josh does that sum his

703
00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:52,960
Speaker 3: game and there and this offense doesn't really depend on

704
00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:56,800
Speaker 3: it the way the Dolphins do. You'll see that this weekend.

705
00:37:56,840 --> 00:37:59,799
Speaker 3: I'm uh yeah. And when you said he was a

706
00:37:59,800 --> 00:38:02,360
Speaker 3: good actor, I thought you were talking about his commercials.

707
00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:05,880
Speaker 3: He is good in those, but he's he's also good

708
00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:08,239
Speaker 3: at the aspects of playing quarterback as well.

709
00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:11,160
Speaker 2: So yeah, okay, that's funny that you took that completely differently.

710
00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:13,759
Speaker 2: I did while Steve was talking. I looked up those

711
00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:19,480
Speaker 2: stats on penalties called that our first caller asked us

712
00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:22,840
Speaker 2: to provide for him at the beginning of the segment,

713
00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:27,319
Speaker 2: and it looks like it's trending right on schedule. I'll

714
00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:31,759
Speaker 2: give you the last three penalty totals from twenty one,

715
00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:34,879
Speaker 2: twenty two, and twenty three. So in twenty twenty one,

716
00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:40,600
Speaker 2: thirty nine hundred and nine penalties called thirty three hundred

717
00:38:40,719 --> 00:38:46,480
Speaker 2: thirty nine assessed. Twenty twenty two, thirty seven hundred twenty

718
00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:50,360
Speaker 2: six penalties called. This is across the entire league, thirty

719
00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:55,839
Speaker 2: one hundred and fifty four assessed last year, thirty eight

720
00:38:55,960 --> 00:39:00,720
Speaker 2: hundred thirty one penalties called thirty two hundre hundred and

721
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:05,439
Speaker 2: thirty two assessed. This year after eight games. For most

722
00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:07,879
Speaker 2: of the league, some teams have still only played seven

723
00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:11,440
Speaker 2: due to an early buy, eighteen hundred and seventy seven

724
00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:17,320
Speaker 2: penalties called fifteen hundred and ninety seven assessed. So, seeing

725
00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:20,080
Speaker 2: the number of assessed penalties at the end of the

726
00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:22,880
Speaker 2: season in the last three years, somewhere between thirty one

727
00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:27,080
Speaker 2: p fifty and thirty three forty this is on pace

728
00:39:27,160 --> 00:39:32,080
Speaker 2: at fifteen ninety seven. It's not egregiously high. To answer

729
00:39:32,160 --> 00:39:35,319
Speaker 2: the question, hope that helps. Let's go to Mike in

730
00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:36,960
Speaker 2: Amherst next. What's up Mike?

731
00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:42,960
Speaker 7: Hello, guys, as always pleasure talking to you both. So

732
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:46,480
Speaker 7: I'd say, from a fan perspective, pleasantly surprised. You know,

733
00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:49,000
Speaker 7: when you have Josh, you're never going to have a

734
00:39:49,040 --> 00:39:51,879
Speaker 7: bad team. So it doesn't surprise me that we're six

735
00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:55,440
Speaker 7: and two. What I'm most you know, surprised and happy with.

736
00:39:55,560 --> 00:39:59,000
Speaker 7: It's just how we've looked, you know, Keon Coleman, he

737
00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:01,279
Speaker 7: looks right now like how I thought he would look

738
00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:05,000
Speaker 7: next year. I mean, he has matured so much. I

739
00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:07,680
Speaker 7: think he's playing with a confidence and a swagger. And

740
00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:11,080
Speaker 7: I love how the other day he came back to

741
00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:14,480
Speaker 7: the huddle and told Josh, hey, throw me that jump

742
00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:16,520
Speaker 7: ball again. This time I'm going to get it. And

743
00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:19,200
Speaker 7: I just think that that's so cool that we could

744
00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:22,680
Speaker 7: have a rookie, you know, with that type of confidence already,

745
00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:25,920
Speaker 7: and for Josh to trust him to do that. But

746
00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:28,560
Speaker 7: I think that's awesome. I just had two quick questions,

747
00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:32,439
Speaker 7: if you don't mind, ye. First question is, let's stay

748
00:40:32,480 --> 00:40:35,480
Speaker 7: on that third down play where Coleman caught the touchdown.

749
00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:38,560
Speaker 7: If Brady calls a play down to Josh, you know,

750
00:40:38,600 --> 00:40:41,279
Speaker 7: a run play or something, but Coleman comes back to

751
00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:43,719
Speaker 7: the huddle and says, hey, look, if you throw me

752
00:40:43,760 --> 00:40:46,279
Speaker 7: that ball again a little bit higher, I'm telling you

753
00:40:46,400 --> 00:40:49,960
Speaker 7: I'm going to grab it. Can Josh override Brady on

754
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:53,120
Speaker 7: that and change the play? That's my first question. The

755
00:40:53,239 --> 00:40:56,400
Speaker 7: second question, quickly is if we get to the end

756
00:40:56,400 --> 00:40:59,000
Speaker 7: of the year and let's say the Chiefs have the

757
00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:02,520
Speaker 7: one seed locked up, we already have the division locked up,

758
00:41:02,760 --> 00:41:05,279
Speaker 7: and maybe the last two or three weeks we're just

759
00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:08,840
Speaker 7: playing for seeding. Do you think there's any value in

760
00:41:08,960 --> 00:41:10,839
Speaker 7: resting guys at the end of the year, because I

761
00:41:10,840 --> 00:41:16,480
Speaker 7: feel like year over year we're limping into the playoffs exhausted. Like,

762
00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:19,439
Speaker 7: how do the coaches see that that they really want

763
00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:22,439
Speaker 7: to play for that two seed or is it kind

764
00:41:22,440 --> 00:41:25,200
Speaker 7: of worth a balancing act of being healthier. That's fine

765
00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:25,640
Speaker 7: to hear what you.

766
00:41:25,640 --> 00:41:28,000
Speaker 3: Thought might I'll say this, I'll ask that last one

767
00:41:28,040 --> 00:41:30,040
Speaker 3: first about going into the seating. You're gonna get the

768
00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:33,319
Speaker 3: best seeds you can get it. But here's what you

769
00:41:33,360 --> 00:41:37,880
Speaker 3: gotta do. I mean, you're playing it and it's not complicated.

770
00:41:39,280 --> 00:41:41,719
Speaker 3: You go with your gut. Say if you're gonna if

771
00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:47,120
Speaker 3: you're chasing the Chiefs and they're gonna play Carolina, they

772
00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:50,960
Speaker 3: losing if you're you know what I'm saying. So you

773
00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:53,320
Speaker 3: gotta play like are they gonna beat that team or not?

774
00:41:53,719 --> 00:41:57,080
Speaker 3: Let's see it, and you just schedules the team you're chasing.

775
00:41:57,120 --> 00:41:58,680
Speaker 3: You got to you gotta see how are they gonna

776
00:41:58,680 --> 00:42:01,040
Speaker 3: do against what they've got to play the games they

777
00:42:01,040 --> 00:42:03,799
Speaker 3: got left, and you gotta expect we're gonna win our

778
00:42:03,880 --> 00:42:07,520
Speaker 3: games if we need to. Can that team? Can we

779
00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:10,919
Speaker 3: count on that team losing? Now, if you're dead neck

780
00:42:10,960 --> 00:42:12,920
Speaker 3: and neck with a team and you're ahead of them,

781
00:42:12,920 --> 00:42:15,479
Speaker 3: and you got a chance the one seed. You are

782
00:42:15,560 --> 00:42:17,520
Speaker 3: putting your foot on the gas and you're getting the

783
00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:18,080
Speaker 3: one seed.

784
00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:20,360
Speaker 2: Well, he's talking about if you if the ones locked

785
00:42:20,400 --> 00:42:22,040
Speaker 2: up by somebody else. What about that if the.

786
00:42:21,960 --> 00:42:25,520
Speaker 3: Ones locked No, because you don't mess with that because

787
00:42:25,520 --> 00:42:27,719
Speaker 3: the guys behind you, the six, seven, and eight seed

788
00:42:27,760 --> 00:42:31,279
Speaker 3: could change. Or you know, because if somebody loses, now

789
00:42:31,280 --> 00:42:32,839
Speaker 3: they're all of a sudden, they're not the sixth seed,

790
00:42:32,840 --> 00:42:35,440
Speaker 3: they're the seventh seed, and you don't see them because

791
00:42:35,440 --> 00:42:37,320
Speaker 3: you're the you know, you're the three seed or the

792
00:42:37,360 --> 00:42:40,000
Speaker 3: two seed or the four seed. You know you win

793
00:42:40,040 --> 00:42:42,840
Speaker 3: your division. That counts for who you're gonna plays.

794
00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:43,640
Speaker 2: You are as a four.

795
00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:46,120
Speaker 3: The lowest you are is a four. So you're gonna

796
00:42:46,120 --> 00:42:49,480
Speaker 3: get a home game anyway. And to think that you're gonna.

797
00:42:49,840 --> 00:42:51,160
Speaker 2: If you're the two or the three, you get two

798
00:42:51,160 --> 00:42:51,840
Speaker 2: home games.

799
00:42:51,600 --> 00:42:55,040
Speaker 3: Though, that's right, that's right, But you don't know who

800
00:42:55,040 --> 00:42:57,040
Speaker 3: the first game is gonna be against. And that's what

801
00:42:57,080 --> 00:42:58,760
Speaker 3: he's saying. I mean, if you want to try and get.

802
00:42:58,640 --> 00:43:03,640
Speaker 2: Up certainly want to argue playoff seed versus playing starters,

803
00:43:03,719 --> 00:43:06,759
Speaker 2: like right down at the end of the season, do

804
00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:09,680
Speaker 2: you want to rest guys and risk dropping a game

805
00:43:09,760 --> 00:43:10,760
Speaker 2: and dropping a seed?

806
00:43:10,920 --> 00:43:12,680
Speaker 3: To me, if I got to shott the one seed,

807
00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:15,560
Speaker 3: not the one, I don't wait, I go. If it's

808
00:43:15,600 --> 00:43:18,200
Speaker 3: the two, three, four, don't worry about it because the five, six,

809
00:43:18,280 --> 00:43:20,400
Speaker 3: and seven are gonna change, right.

810
00:43:20,480 --> 00:43:22,080
Speaker 2: I mean, that's what I think I could see that

811
00:43:22,280 --> 00:43:24,480
Speaker 2: I as a player argument, plus.

812
00:43:25,960 --> 00:43:28,160
Speaker 3: That other team's got to win, you know, a couple

813
00:43:28,200 --> 00:43:29,879
Speaker 3: of games to get if they're ahead of you as well,

814
00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:31,200
Speaker 3: so I don't mess with that.

815
00:43:31,280 --> 00:43:34,319
Speaker 2: And then with respect to Josh, very often he has

816
00:43:34,400 --> 00:43:40,359
Speaker 2: two plays coming out of the huddle anyway, and there

817
00:43:40,440 --> 00:43:43,640
Speaker 2: are alerts and checks that he can check to. And

818
00:43:43,680 --> 00:43:47,240
Speaker 2: I would like to think they trust Josh enough where

819
00:43:47,640 --> 00:43:50,600
Speaker 2: if he sees an opportunity to get into a better

820
00:43:50,680 --> 00:43:54,600
Speaker 2: play than the one that is called first, he has

821
00:43:54,760 --> 00:43:57,520
Speaker 2: license to switch it. Like let's just say they come

822
00:43:57,560 --> 00:43:59,919
Speaker 2: out of the huddle and Keon Coleman has a five

823
00:44:00,160 --> 00:44:03,239
Speaker 2: nine slot corner on him and he's on one, he's

824
00:44:03,280 --> 00:44:06,759
Speaker 2: on the he's on the field side by himself. I

825
00:44:06,880 --> 00:44:08,480
Speaker 2: like that one on one matchup. And I don't think

826
00:44:08,520 --> 00:44:10,319
Speaker 2: Joe Brady's gonna argue with him if he decides to

827
00:44:10,320 --> 00:44:12,879
Speaker 2: throw in the football. So I think he has some

828
00:44:12,960 --> 00:44:15,040
Speaker 2: license to what degree. I'm not gonna pretend.

829
00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:17,560
Speaker 3: And they'll and they'll talk about that lice that you

830
00:44:17,600 --> 00:44:20,600
Speaker 3: know that finger quotes license during the week, say listen,

831
00:44:20,920 --> 00:44:23,160
Speaker 3: and like last night, I was watching the Monday night

832
00:44:23,200 --> 00:44:26,480
Speaker 3: football game last night. Uh, Peyton and Eli had a

833
00:44:26,520 --> 00:44:30,399
Speaker 3: great point deep where you got pickings on a guy

834
00:44:30,880 --> 00:44:34,399
Speaker 3: that they want him on by himself and and and

835
00:44:34,520 --> 00:44:36,279
Speaker 3: they said, yeah, this is what you do. You don't

836
00:44:37,040 --> 00:44:39,399
Speaker 3: you don't send everybody out. You're gonna if you got

837
00:44:39,400 --> 00:44:43,880
Speaker 3: a one on one route with Keon Coleman against Billy

838
00:44:43,960 --> 00:44:46,839
Speaker 3: bagg of Donuts over there and he's gonna beat him,

839
00:44:47,400 --> 00:44:50,040
Speaker 3: you bring everybody in you protect and say go beat him.

840
00:44:50,440 --> 00:44:52,799
Speaker 3: You don't need an out you don't need five outlets.

841
00:44:53,040 --> 00:44:55,120
Speaker 3: You know, you bring Dawson Knox in, you keep you

842
00:44:55,239 --> 00:44:59,120
Speaker 3: keep James Cooking or Ray Davis in. You bring in

843
00:44:59,160 --> 00:45:02,719
Speaker 3: a bunch over here. You have everybody chip. You're completely

844
00:45:02,760 --> 00:45:04,680
Speaker 3: protected because you got a one on one guy you

845
00:45:04,760 --> 00:45:07,440
Speaker 3: know is gonna win over here, so nothing else is

846
00:45:07,480 --> 00:45:09,960
Speaker 3: gonna go wrong and you don't. And if somebody you

847
00:45:10,000 --> 00:45:12,840
Speaker 3: know needs to check down, you can do that after,

848
00:45:13,719 --> 00:45:16,000
Speaker 3: but give that guy a chance, and that's that's yes,

849
00:45:16,239 --> 00:45:20,239
Speaker 3: quarterbacks have the license to do that because those conversations

850
00:45:20,280 --> 00:45:22,000
Speaker 3: happen during the week and they're ready for it.

851
00:45:22,520 --> 00:45:24,279

863
00:46:14,520 --> 00:46:17,560
Speaker 2: where we're asking you for your mid season opinion on

864
00:46:17,600 --> 00:46:20,600
Speaker 2: your six and two Buffalo bills. To John and Clarence,

865
00:46:20,640 --> 00:46:23,880
Speaker 2: we go, let's get them up here. What's up John?

866
00:46:25,280 --> 00:46:28,360
Speaker 10: Hi, guys, thanks for taking my call. A couple of things.

867
00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:32,440
Speaker 10: The first is the gentleman that called about the penalties.

868
00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:36,080
Speaker 10: I kind of stole my thunder, but I was going

869
00:46:36,160 --> 00:46:39,040
Speaker 10: to say that I last week it was amazing. I

870
00:46:39,120 --> 00:46:44,640
Speaker 10: was watching a bunch of NFL officials calling penalties and

871
00:46:45,160 --> 00:46:50,279
Speaker 10: a game broke out. It was that bad. So I

872
00:46:50,320 --> 00:46:53,520
Speaker 10: get the penalties are part of the game, but it

873
00:46:53,640 --> 00:46:56,960
Speaker 10: just seems to me that that's something that the Bills

874
00:46:57,000 --> 00:46:59,479
Speaker 10: really need to work on, because I'm not concerned about

875
00:46:59,480 --> 00:47:03,160
Speaker 10: the penalty they won. I'm concerned about the kinds of

876
00:47:03,239 --> 00:47:08,440
Speaker 10: penalties they're getting. Things like the lay of game, taking

877
00:47:08,440 --> 00:47:12,840
Speaker 10: too much time, you know, those kinds of things should

878
00:47:12,840 --> 00:47:14,880
Speaker 10: not be happening at this point in the season, and

879
00:47:14,920 --> 00:47:19,839
Speaker 10: it's it's it's not good in terms in terms of

880
00:47:19,880 --> 00:47:22,080
Speaker 10: the team where it is right now at six and two.

881
00:47:23,320 --> 00:47:26,440
Speaker 10: At the at the beginning of the season, I was

882
00:47:26,520 --> 00:47:30,200
Speaker 10: of the opinion that the East Division was one of

883
00:47:30,239 --> 00:47:34,040
Speaker 10: the strongest, if not the strongest divisions.

884
00:47:33,520 --> 00:47:34,239
Speaker 3: In the a f C.

885
00:47:35,560 --> 00:47:40,600
Speaker 10: I am now of the opinion, partly because of injuries,

886
00:47:40,640 --> 00:47:45,080
Speaker 10: I understand, but also seeing them play now that it's

887
00:47:45,200 --> 00:47:49,959
Speaker 10: probably the weakest division in the AFC. And I say

888
00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:52,719
Speaker 10: that because despite the fact that Bill the Bills are

889
00:47:52,760 --> 00:47:55,759
Speaker 10: six and two, which would seem to indicate, you know,

890
00:47:55,800 --> 00:47:58,879
Speaker 10: they're one of the better teams in the league. I

891
00:47:58,920 --> 00:48:03,279
Speaker 10: think that when they get tested, you see a lot

892
00:48:03,320 --> 00:48:07,000
Speaker 10: of the weaknesses, You see a lot of the inadequacies

893
00:48:07,040 --> 00:48:12,040
Speaker 10: in the team. So I would say, yes, because of

894
00:48:12,120 --> 00:48:17,920
Speaker 10: injuries in part, that that division is fairly weak. But

895
00:48:18,680 --> 00:48:22,040
Speaker 10: I would say that the Bills are probably the best

896
00:48:22,239 --> 00:48:27,600
Speaker 10: six and two team that you can possibly be, given

897
00:48:27,640 --> 00:48:30,319
Speaker 10: the fact that they've played the way they played and

898
00:48:30,360 --> 00:48:32,880
Speaker 10: the fact that I think they still do have some weaknesses.

899
00:48:32,960 --> 00:48:35,440
Speaker 10: So anyway, I'll hang up and listen to here.

900
00:48:35,520 --> 00:48:40,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's fair, John. I mean they've also they've only

901
00:48:40,560 --> 00:48:45,640
Speaker 2: played two division games through the first eight. I mean,

902
00:48:45,680 --> 00:48:47,759
Speaker 2: they still have four division games left to play, so

903
00:48:47,800 --> 00:48:51,080
Speaker 2: it's not like they're beaten up on their weak division

904
00:48:51,200 --> 00:48:53,360
Speaker 2: all that much. I mean, Miami had two in the

905
00:48:53,360 --> 00:48:57,280
Speaker 2: game when they played them down there, Rogers was playing.

906
00:48:57,640 --> 00:49:00,239
Speaker 2: You know, they didn't have DeVante Adams yet, you know,

907
00:49:00,239 --> 00:49:03,959
Speaker 2: a couple of weeks ago, and that was a tight game.

908
00:49:05,200 --> 00:49:08,799
Speaker 2: And look, I know people are gonna criticize Buffalo six

909
00:49:08,840 --> 00:49:11,359
Speaker 2: and two record and say, look, your two losses came

910
00:49:11,400 --> 00:49:14,600
Speaker 2: against teams with winning records, and you're beating up on

911
00:49:14,680 --> 00:49:17,920
Speaker 2: other teams that aren't as good. You can't fault the

912
00:49:17,960 --> 00:49:21,160
Speaker 2: Bills for who is on their schedule and how those

913
00:49:21,200 --> 00:49:22,799
Speaker 2: team seasons are playing.

914
00:49:22,480 --> 00:49:24,160
Speaker 3: Out right, and you can you can follow them for

915
00:49:24,320 --> 00:49:26,960
Speaker 3: getting blown out by the Baltimore Ravens, no question.

916
00:49:27,040 --> 00:49:27,360
Speaker 2: Sure.

917
00:49:27,719 --> 00:49:33,760
Speaker 3: The loss in Houston, down five defensive starters and losing

918
00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:37,279
Speaker 3: twenty three twenty and a fifty nine yarder at the

919
00:49:37,320 --> 00:49:39,040
Speaker 3: end of the game. That's a close game against a

920
00:49:39,040 --> 00:49:43,520
Speaker 3: team that's playing at home and healthy and healthy. I'll

921
00:49:43,520 --> 00:49:47,000
Speaker 3: take my chances if we see him again, you know

922
00:49:47,040 --> 00:49:49,560
Speaker 3: that kind of thing. So and you know, going out

923
00:49:49,680 --> 00:49:53,239
Speaker 3: on the road in Seattle and they were a four

924
00:49:53,239 --> 00:49:57,560
Speaker 3: and three football team and the Bills handled them easily.

925
00:49:58,000 --> 00:50:03,399
Speaker 3: So yeah, you're right. You can only go by what

926
00:50:03,520 --> 00:50:06,200
Speaker 3: how far they've been tested so far, And certainly they've

927
00:50:06,239 --> 00:50:09,200
Speaker 3: got two games where they didn't play so well. In fact,

928
00:50:09,280 --> 00:50:11,719
Speaker 3: the Houston game, Josh could as I don't know that

929
00:50:11,760 --> 00:50:13,239
Speaker 3: he's ever played as bad as he played in the

930
00:50:13,280 --> 00:50:16,120
Speaker 3: Houston game, even back to the rookie. It was a

931
00:50:16,160 --> 00:50:17,279
Speaker 3: horrible game for him and.

932
00:50:17,200 --> 00:50:19,320
Speaker 2: That was his worst passing day of his career.

933
00:50:19,440 --> 00:50:22,839
Speaker 3: And so and they lost by three. So I'm I'm

934
00:50:22,880 --> 00:50:26,000
Speaker 3: okay with where they're at. Certainly they do have some warts,

935
00:50:26,200 --> 00:50:29,960
Speaker 3: no question about it. But as Brownie and I have

936
00:50:30,080 --> 00:50:33,719
Speaker 3: been saying yesterday and today and in a little last

937
00:50:33,719 --> 00:50:36,400
Speaker 3: week as well, yeah they do have some warts, but

938
00:50:37,160 --> 00:50:39,759
Speaker 3: you know those, they're getting more and more beautiful as

939
00:50:39,800 --> 00:50:40,640
Speaker 3: the season goes on.

940
00:50:40,719 --> 00:50:42,760
Speaker 2: I mean, this is and this is how many perfect

941
00:50:42,800 --> 00:50:45,320
Speaker 2: teams are there in the NFL. I mean the Detroit Lions.

942
00:50:45,880 --> 00:50:48,720
Speaker 2: I think they're number one in DVOA and offense, defense

943
00:50:48,760 --> 00:50:50,960
Speaker 2: and special teams. That's about as pretty a team as

944
00:50:50,960 --> 00:50:54,520
Speaker 2: you're gonna find right now. Because even the Chiefs, though

945
00:50:54,520 --> 00:50:59,000
Speaker 2: they're undefeated, they clearly have deficiencies due in part to

946
00:50:59,040 --> 00:51:02,560
Speaker 2: injury as well, and they have some things that I'm

947
00:51:02,560 --> 00:51:04,640
Speaker 2: pretty confident they would like to be better. At two.

948
00:51:05,920 --> 00:51:08,840
Speaker 2: The Lions are probably your shining example of a pristine

949
00:51:08,920 --> 00:51:12,280
Speaker 2: team so far. Now the challenge is can they sustain

950
00:51:12,320 --> 00:51:15,160
Speaker 2: that for another couple of months. Gotta take a break here,

951
00:51:15,200 --> 00:51:17,279
Speaker 2: but when we come back, we're gonna be joined by

952
00:51:17,480 --> 00:51:20,879
Speaker 2: ESPN NFL analyst Dan Orlowski for his weekly visit with us.

953
00:51:21,200 --> 00:51:25,040
Speaker 2: We'll chop up Seahawks Bills and take a look ahead

954
00:51:25,160 --> 00:51:27,680
Speaker 2: at Bill's Dolphins with Dan. When we return here on

955
00:51:27,680 --> 00:51:29,400
Speaker 2: One Bill's Live, presented by kill Lot of Health. It's

956
00:51:29,400 --> 00:52:50,239
Speaker 2: Buffalo Bills Radio.

957
00:52:14,000 --> 00:52:18,680
Speaker 1: The one Bills Live presented by calllighta Health.

958
00:52:19,960 --> 00:52:22,560
Speaker 2: All Right, our number two One Bill's Live, Chris Brown,

959
00:52:22,560 --> 00:52:25,760
Speaker 2: Steve Tasker with you and welcoming in our weekly visitor

960
00:52:25,880 --> 00:52:30,080
Speaker 2: every Tuesday. It's ESPN NFL analyst Dan Orlowski, whose appearances

961
00:52:30,080 --> 00:52:33,000
Speaker 2: on One Bill's Live are presented by Caesar's Sportsbook, an

962
00:52:33,000 --> 00:52:37,719
Speaker 2: official mobile sports betting partner of the Buffalo Bills. All right, Dan,

963
00:52:37,800 --> 00:52:41,439
Speaker 2: we're pretty much at the turn here. Bills are six

964
00:52:41,520 --> 00:52:47,440
Speaker 2: and two, convincing when over the Seahawks this past Sunday. Granted,

965
00:52:47,440 --> 00:52:50,239
Speaker 2: the Seahawks help them a little bit with some miscues

966
00:52:50,280 --> 00:52:52,839
Speaker 2: of their own, not that the Bills didn't have their

967
00:52:52,840 --> 00:52:55,600
Speaker 2: own share of pre snap penalties and the like, which

968
00:52:55,640 --> 00:52:58,399
Speaker 2: are going to undoubtedly be cleaned up as best as

969
00:52:58,400 --> 00:53:01,680
Speaker 2: possible this week. But maybe just give us your overarching

970
00:53:01,760 --> 00:53:05,319
Speaker 2: thoughts about some of the things they did offensively, In particular, Dan,

971
00:53:05,440 --> 00:53:10,080
Speaker 2: like breaking some tendencies some first down under center play action,

972
00:53:10,280 --> 00:53:13,440
Speaker 2: which is a popular topic of hours. So maybe just

973
00:53:13,520 --> 00:53:15,360
Speaker 2: kind of break that down for us in terms of

974
00:53:15,400 --> 00:53:17,200
Speaker 2: what you saw from them.

975
00:53:17,280 --> 00:53:20,000
Speaker 11: Yeah, I love how aggressive they came out in the

976
00:53:20,000 --> 00:53:21,879
Speaker 11: football game. I think a lot of the things that

977
00:53:22,320 --> 00:53:27,960
Speaker 11: you know, ironically we've talked about together. You saw, once again,

978
00:53:28,000 --> 00:53:30,600
Speaker 11: you saw the six offensive linemen when they could run

979
00:53:30,640 --> 00:53:33,879
Speaker 11: the football or unearly downs get into their play action game.

980
00:53:34,200 --> 00:53:37,520
Speaker 11: I think you saw the bunch motion game when it

981
00:53:37,560 --> 00:53:39,359
Speaker 11: came to their run game and trying to make sure

982
00:53:39,400 --> 00:53:42,560
Speaker 11: that they were trying to displace some defenders in their

983
00:53:42,680 --> 00:53:45,120
Speaker 11: run game. I think you saw some of the perimeter

984
00:53:45,239 --> 00:53:49,080
Speaker 11: screen game be a you know, an advancement of their

985
00:53:49,160 --> 00:53:50,799
Speaker 11: run game, just trying to get the ball out in

986
00:53:50,880 --> 00:53:52,839
Speaker 11: space with some of the motions. I think you saw

987
00:53:52,960 --> 00:53:55,960
Speaker 11: Kincaid at either the one or the three flex stout

988
00:53:56,040 --> 00:53:58,239
Speaker 11: which creates a lot of space for him to win.

989
00:53:58,320 --> 00:54:01,799
Speaker 11: I also think it allows the receivers to get vertically downfield.

990
00:54:02,920 --> 00:54:05,240
Speaker 11: I think you saw, you know, some of the tackle

991
00:54:05,360 --> 00:54:07,919
Speaker 11: trap game that they used some motion with as well.

992
00:54:08,040 --> 00:54:13,720
Speaker 11: So that was a lot of really good, really good

993
00:54:14,000 --> 00:54:18,120
Speaker 11: use of taking the plays that they run well and

994
00:54:18,280 --> 00:54:22,200
Speaker 11: just constantly presenting them in different pictures. And I think

995
00:54:22,200 --> 00:54:24,880
Speaker 11: the philosophy of trying to be aggressive throwing the football

996
00:54:25,600 --> 00:54:26,680
Speaker 11: paid dividends for them.

997
00:54:27,120 --> 00:54:28,840
Speaker 3: And you talk about the way they threw the football.

998
00:54:29,040 --> 00:54:31,880
Speaker 3: Keon Coleman. We we've talked about how he's getting a

999
00:54:31,880 --> 00:54:34,680
Speaker 3: little better, getting a little better this last game against Seattle.

1000
00:54:34,760 --> 00:54:37,760
Speaker 3: I mean, what's that? How does that change the Bills offense?

1001
00:54:37,800 --> 00:54:39,960
Speaker 3: If he turns into the dude he looked like he

1002
00:54:40,120 --> 00:54:41,200
Speaker 3: was this last Sunday.

1003
00:54:42,600 --> 00:54:44,360
Speaker 11: Yeah. So I think what it does, Steve is it

1004
00:54:44,440 --> 00:54:48,200
Speaker 11: presents a lot of questions to defenses, like when you again,

1005
00:54:48,640 --> 00:54:52,080
Speaker 11: if you're a defense and you want to play zone coverage,

1006
00:54:52,160 --> 00:54:55,719
Speaker 11: no matter where other people are, you've got to be

1007
00:54:55,719 --> 00:54:59,160
Speaker 11: able to handle their their ability to run the football,

1008
00:54:59,239 --> 00:55:01,520
Speaker 11: and then you've got to handle their space when it

1009
00:55:01,560 --> 00:55:05,640
Speaker 11: comes to a Kincaid or a Cook or Shakir. If

1010
00:55:05,680 --> 00:55:08,319
Speaker 11: you want to play man coverage, you have to take

1011
00:55:08,400 --> 00:55:11,319
Speaker 11: your number one and number two corners and say, can

1012
00:55:11,360 --> 00:55:14,759
Speaker 11: we match up with our one and two corner on

1013
00:55:14,840 --> 00:55:18,520
Speaker 11: those two guys? Is someone physical enough to handle Kan?

1014
00:55:18,680 --> 00:55:21,960
Speaker 11: Does someone have the the kind of at the point

1015
00:55:22,000 --> 00:55:26,080
Speaker 11: of contact strength to handle Kean? And I think that's

1016
00:55:26,160 --> 00:55:29,000
Speaker 11: more the question if you're a defensive group of it's

1017
00:55:29,000 --> 00:55:31,759
Speaker 11: not necessarily can you handle them or at the line

1018
00:55:31,760 --> 00:55:34,560
Speaker 11: of scrimmage with his releases or can you run with them,

1019
00:55:34,600 --> 00:55:36,799
Speaker 11: It's like, do we have someone big and strong enough

1020
00:55:36,880 --> 00:55:39,200
Speaker 11: to handle some of those contested catches. You saw that

1021
00:55:39,239 --> 00:55:41,120
Speaker 11: one in the red zone. You saw the seam ball

1022
00:55:41,200 --> 00:55:44,440
Speaker 11: when the corner overlaps. So that's that's the question that

1023
00:55:44,480 --> 00:55:47,960
Speaker 11: they're going to constantly present defenses with and then forget,

1024
00:55:48,120 --> 00:55:51,279
Speaker 11: you know, kind of a Shakir or a or a

1025
00:55:51,400 --> 00:55:53,799
Speaker 11: Kincaid when it comes to some of their matchups as well.

1026
00:55:53,880 --> 00:55:59,480
Speaker 11: So I just think if he continues to show the

1027
00:55:59,520 --> 00:56:03,240
Speaker 11: impact that he's having, he's going to you know, really

1028
00:56:03,280 --> 00:56:05,840
Speaker 11: force defenses into some situations when it comes to that

1029
00:56:05,920 --> 00:56:06,799
Speaker 11: man coverage.

1030
00:56:07,200 --> 00:56:10,080
Speaker 2: And then I don't know how much credit we give

1031
00:56:10,120 --> 00:56:12,239
Speaker 2: to Joe Brady, but I think he deserves some here

1032
00:56:12,360 --> 00:56:18,200
Speaker 2: because it just feels as though Josh is playing within

1033
00:56:18,280 --> 00:56:22,359
Speaker 2: the structure of the offense more often this season than

1034
00:56:22,400 --> 00:56:25,560
Speaker 2: we've seen in recent seasons. We know that he's always

1035
00:56:25,560 --> 00:56:28,799
Speaker 2: been apt to leave the pocket early, playoff script and

1036
00:56:29,080 --> 00:56:32,560
Speaker 2: you know, make second reaction plays. It just feels like

1037
00:56:32,600 --> 00:56:36,440
Speaker 2: through these first eight games he's done that less. Not

1038
00:56:36,440 --> 00:56:38,280
Speaker 2: saying he's never gonna do it. I think it's always

1039
00:56:38,280 --> 00:56:40,200
Speaker 2: going to be a part of his game, but just

1040
00:56:40,239 --> 00:56:43,200
Speaker 2: the advantage of playing within structure a little bit more.

1041
00:56:43,520 --> 00:56:48,680
Speaker 2: It just seems like this offense is being it's capable

1042
00:56:48,719 --> 00:56:51,600
Speaker 2: of staying on schedule a little bit more because the

1043
00:56:51,640 --> 00:56:55,799
Speaker 2: answers are there within the scheme. Right yeah, So.

1044
00:56:55,840 --> 00:56:58,720
Speaker 11: Chris, look at it, just look at it. In this regards. Okay,

1045
00:56:59,440 --> 00:57:03,399
Speaker 11: Number one, they threw four perimeter screens, So you are

1046
00:57:03,560 --> 00:57:08,360
Speaker 11: taking the thinking, the desire, the adrenaline away from the

1047
00:57:08,440 --> 00:57:11,520
Speaker 11: quarterback for those four snaps, but yet building a positive

1048
00:57:11,560 --> 00:57:14,480
Speaker 11: play that is beneficial for him. Like, let's be candid.

1049
00:57:14,760 --> 00:57:16,920
Speaker 11: You know a Perida screen goes for quarterbacks stats, so

1050
00:57:17,240 --> 00:57:19,600
Speaker 11: you know a lot of heist love that sweet. So

1051
00:57:19,960 --> 00:57:25,080
Speaker 11: there's four right there. Then you have three different keepers. Okay,

1052
00:57:25,240 --> 00:57:28,720
Speaker 11: So like keepers for quarterbacks are fun because it's simplified.

1053
00:57:28,760 --> 00:57:31,320
Speaker 11: You're more than likely going to get a completion. Sometimes

1054
00:57:31,320 --> 00:57:33,479
Speaker 11: there's a play there to put it downfield. More often

1055
00:57:33,520 --> 00:57:35,640
Speaker 11: than not it's a dump down and you got two

1056
00:57:35,680 --> 00:57:39,680
Speaker 11: designed quarterback runs. So there's ten plays right there, a

1057
00:57:39,840 --> 00:57:44,880
Speaker 11: very simple execution, very light thinking, and you're almost I

1058
00:57:44,880 --> 00:57:47,600
Speaker 11: don't want to say handcuffing the quarterback, but you're guiding

1059
00:57:47,640 --> 00:57:50,120
Speaker 11: the quarterback and what to do with the football. Okay,

1060
00:57:50,720 --> 00:57:53,000
Speaker 11: there's there's ten right there. And then if you think

1061
00:57:53,000 --> 00:57:55,560
Speaker 11: about two or the three of the underneath stuff that

1062
00:57:55,600 --> 00:57:57,760
Speaker 11: they build in for a shakir where it's like just

1063
00:57:57,840 --> 00:57:59,520
Speaker 11: catch and throw it. Now you're watching the scene to

1064
00:57:59,600 --> 00:58:01,560
Speaker 11: Keion that that was a great but like the underneath,

1065
00:58:01,680 --> 00:58:03,680
Speaker 11: just catch a throat to Keyon, we just want to

1066
00:58:03,720 --> 00:58:06,320
Speaker 11: get the ball dumped out to his hands. You're talking

1067
00:58:06,360 --> 00:58:09,920
Speaker 11: about fifteen plays that are built in that are we

1068
00:58:10,080 --> 00:58:12,840
Speaker 11: call call it and run. It's breather plays. Okay, Like

1069
00:58:12,960 --> 00:58:16,200
Speaker 11: that's that's easy, simple stuff. And then that leads to

1070
00:58:16,240 --> 00:58:17,880
Speaker 11: you to some of those scene throws, the one to

1071
00:58:17,960 --> 00:58:20,800
Speaker 11: key On, the playfake on, the deep crosser, the seam

1072
00:58:20,880 --> 00:58:25,320
Speaker 11: to Kincaid. So I think that again, it's not like

1073
00:58:25,720 --> 00:58:30,040
Speaker 11: they're taking stuff away from Josh. I think they're just

1074
00:58:30,360 --> 00:58:34,080
Speaker 11: when they allow him to be a difference maker, there's

1075
00:58:34,240 --> 00:58:37,560
Speaker 11: less moments for it. But I think there there's a

1076
00:58:38,320 --> 00:58:41,280
Speaker 11: there's a clearer picture of how to go do it,

1077
00:58:41,440 --> 00:58:43,720
Speaker 11: and I think that is a credit to Joe for sure.

1078
00:58:44,240 --> 00:58:46,440
Speaker 3: We always talk about, you know, Josh and how he's playing,

1079
00:58:46,480 --> 00:58:48,960
Speaker 3: and like we've just been talking about how he's staying instruction,

1080
00:58:49,040 --> 00:58:51,480
Speaker 3: playing a little bit different differently this year. You know,

1081
00:58:51,520 --> 00:58:54,040
Speaker 3: he threw the one interception. I was saying, it's kind

1082
00:58:54,080 --> 00:58:56,320
Speaker 3: of a good thing he threw the pick because now

1083
00:58:56,360 --> 00:58:58,040
Speaker 3: it's not a thing anymore. You can just go ahead,

1084
00:58:58,040 --> 00:59:00,360
Speaker 3: you know you're not. It starts to become sure, you

1085
00:59:00,400 --> 00:59:01,760
Speaker 3: know what I mean. It starts to become a thing

1086
00:59:01,840 --> 00:59:03,720
Speaker 3: that you start thinking about that rather than what you're

1087
00:59:03,760 --> 00:59:06,800
Speaker 3: doing in the moment in hand. In this game, though,

1088
00:59:07,640 --> 00:59:13,120
Speaker 3: Josh was twenty four thirty four, and they also had

1089
00:59:13,240 --> 00:59:15,840
Speaker 3: thirty four run attempts, So it's thirty four runs, thirty

1090
00:59:15,880 --> 00:59:19,800
Speaker 3: four passes. How does that affect and how much easier

1091
00:59:19,840 --> 00:59:21,760
Speaker 3: does that make it on Josh and all these receivers

1092
00:59:21,800 --> 00:59:25,040
Speaker 3: when you know Cook is running for five point eight

1093
00:59:25,120 --> 00:59:25,640
Speaker 3: per carry.

1094
00:59:27,360 --> 00:59:31,400
Speaker 11: Yeah, it's it's a massive thing when you know. I

1095
00:59:31,680 --> 00:59:34,040
Speaker 11: think Joe's comment when we sat with them on Monday

1096
00:59:34,080 --> 00:59:36,920
Speaker 11: Football was, you know, he believes the identity of the

1097
00:59:36,960 --> 00:59:39,000
Speaker 11: offenses to be be able to do what they want

1098
00:59:39,040 --> 00:59:40,480
Speaker 11: when they when they want. And I think for a

1099
00:59:40,560 --> 00:59:42,360
Speaker 11: quarterback to be able to just hand the football off

1100
00:59:42,360 --> 00:59:45,840
Speaker 11: and again like there, it's not like they're doing this.

1101
00:59:46,000 --> 00:59:48,280
Speaker 11: Isn't the Lions where they're doing three or you know,

1102
00:59:48,520 --> 00:59:51,560
Speaker 11: five or six different kinds of runs they're majoring in

1103
00:59:51,680 --> 00:59:54,200
Speaker 11: three runs, they're majoring in their six offensive lineman run,

1104
00:59:54,200 --> 00:59:56,560
Speaker 11: they're major in week zone, or they'll major in their

1105
00:59:56,600 --> 00:59:59,880
Speaker 11: tackle pull. They're just kind of constantly doing it differently.

1106
01:00:00,160 --> 01:00:02,880
Speaker 11: But to be able to constantly control the game and

1107
01:00:03,520 --> 01:00:07,000
Speaker 11: willingly hand the football off and no handing the football

1108
01:00:07,000 --> 01:00:09,400
Speaker 11: off is one good for the team and good too,

1109
01:00:09,520 --> 01:00:12,439
Speaker 11: good for me because there's only so many different ways

1110
01:00:12,520 --> 01:00:14,520
Speaker 11: that teams can handle the run. You either have to

1111
01:00:14,600 --> 01:00:16,720
Speaker 11: blitz it or you have to put bodies down to it.

1112
01:00:16,840 --> 01:00:20,280
Speaker 11: And I think that's the the A very good thing

1113
01:00:20,360 --> 01:00:23,160
Speaker 11: for Josh. The interception steep, for me, not a big deal.

1114
01:00:23,400 --> 01:00:27,040
Speaker 11: I will say this, there's two fumbos in this game.

1115
01:00:27,080 --> 01:00:30,120
Speaker 11: If I'm right where I sit there and go, don't

1116
01:00:30,360 --> 01:00:32,880
Speaker 11: don't don't start that, you know where it's you know,

1117
01:00:33,000 --> 01:00:36,040
Speaker 11: getting a little bit froggy in the pocket, a little

1118
01:00:36,040 --> 01:00:38,760
Speaker 11: bit I don't want to say overly aggressive in the pocket,

1119
01:00:38,880 --> 01:00:44,439
Speaker 11: but you know, maybe being so almost heat check, NBA

1120
01:00:44,560 --> 01:00:48,000
Speaker 11: Jam heat check. Don't lose sight of how great of

1121
01:00:48,120 --> 01:00:50,600
Speaker 11: a job you've done of valuing the football this year.

1122
01:00:50,800 --> 01:00:53,640
Speaker 11: And you know that's something that grabbed my attention is

1123
01:00:54,200 --> 01:00:56,640
Speaker 11: making sure that they can hold on to that that

1124
01:00:56,840 --> 01:01:00,560
Speaker 11: mindset Josh specific specifically of like, you've done such an

1125
01:01:00,560 --> 01:01:02,480
Speaker 11: amazing job of that, don't lose sight.

1126
01:01:02,400 --> 01:01:05,000
Speaker 2: Of it, And how much if he can maintain that,

1127
01:01:05,160 --> 01:01:11,920
Speaker 2: does that help his case for MVP consideration, assuming you

1128
01:01:11,960 --> 01:01:14,240
Speaker 2: know the team is still in contention and all of

1129
01:01:14,320 --> 01:01:14,760
Speaker 2: that stuff.

1130
01:01:14,920 --> 01:01:18,320
Speaker 11: Sure, yeah, I mean he's Josh has really been in

1131
01:01:18,480 --> 01:01:22,040
Speaker 11: the MVP top two or top three really since the

1132
01:01:22,080 --> 01:01:23,640
Speaker 11: start of the season. I know, we had those two

1133
01:01:23,680 --> 01:01:25,960
Speaker 11: weeks straight and saying MVP second week in the season

1134
01:01:26,040 --> 01:01:28,760
Speaker 11: doesn't merit much. But now that we're, you know, almost

1135
01:01:28,800 --> 01:01:31,240
Speaker 11: halfway through the season, I think the only two people

1136
01:01:31,280 --> 01:01:34,520
Speaker 11: that you can make a legitimate case of like really

1137
01:01:34,600 --> 01:01:37,360
Speaker 11: putting ahead of him or Lamar and Dereck Henry. Now

1138
01:01:37,480 --> 01:01:39,880
Speaker 11: you can make the argument that Lamar benefits from having

1139
01:01:39,920 --> 01:01:42,240
Speaker 11: a back that's being so dominant, and Derek benefits from

1140
01:01:42,240 --> 01:01:44,440
Speaker 11: remvn a quarterback playing so dominant. I think both of

1141
01:01:44,480 --> 01:01:47,200
Speaker 11: those guys at some point will steal from the other,

1142
01:01:47,400 --> 01:01:50,720
Speaker 11: essentially attention and whatnot. Jaden Daniels certainly up in that conversation,

1143
01:01:50,840 --> 01:01:54,560
Speaker 11: but Josh, there's no question is that top two top

1144
01:01:54,640 --> 01:01:57,000
Speaker 11: three spot in the MVP race. I would fully expect

1145
01:01:57,120 --> 01:02:01,160
Speaker 11: him to, you know, to remain there and consistently be there,

1146
01:02:01,160 --> 01:02:04,360
Speaker 11: and if they continue to win, it's gonna be hard

1147
01:02:04,400 --> 01:02:05,280
Speaker 11: to not give it to them.

1148
01:02:05,720 --> 01:02:09,080
Speaker 3: So the Bills come in six and two, and all

1149
01:02:09,120 --> 01:02:11,040
Speaker 3: of a sudden we had a topic of the day

1150
01:02:11,240 --> 01:02:13,400
Speaker 3: was that, you know, at the mid season, what's your

1151
01:02:13,440 --> 01:02:15,600
Speaker 3: mid season opinion of the Buffalo Bills and why? And

1152
01:02:16,320 --> 01:02:17,640
Speaker 3: I said, you know, the Bills are kind of where

1153
01:02:17,640 --> 01:02:19,280
Speaker 3: I thought they'd be. They seem to be getting better.

1154
01:02:19,320 --> 01:02:21,959
Speaker 3: They've overcome some obstacles, some injuries and stuff. They're playing

1155
01:02:22,000 --> 01:02:24,600
Speaker 3: well if actually won games where they weren't playing their best,

1156
01:02:24,920 --> 01:02:27,320
Speaker 3: and look good doing it in times. But I think

1157
01:02:27,360 --> 01:02:31,000
Speaker 3: the thing that is it surprised me Dan, is that

1158
01:02:31,120 --> 01:02:33,720
Speaker 3: the AFC East as a division is a dumpster fire

1159
01:02:33,760 --> 01:02:38,160
Speaker 3: outside of Buffalo. Now Miami seems to have extinguished the

1160
01:02:38,280 --> 01:02:40,200
Speaker 3: fire and seems to be getting it back together. Two

1161
01:02:40,360 --> 01:02:41,640
Speaker 3: is going to be good. I mean, he's going to

1162
01:02:41,720 --> 01:02:43,120
Speaker 3: get back in there and they'll be able to climb

1163
01:02:43,200 --> 01:02:45,080
Speaker 3: out of it, get back and at least get into

1164
01:02:45,120 --> 01:02:47,479
Speaker 3: the wild card race here in the next few weeks,

1165
01:02:47,520 --> 01:02:49,240
Speaker 3: you know what I mean, get back to five hundred

1166
01:02:49,280 --> 01:02:52,920
Speaker 3: and keep going. How does Tua coming back. I mean,

1167
01:02:54,320 --> 01:02:56,120
Speaker 3: what do the Dolphins have under the hood. Can they

1168
01:02:56,480 --> 01:02:59,080
Speaker 3: close that gap? I don't say win the division, but

1169
01:02:59,720 --> 01:03:01,760
Speaker 3: you know, we'll close the gap on the other teams

1170
01:03:01,800 --> 01:03:04,000
Speaker 3: that are vying for that wild card spot. I know

1171
01:03:04,080 --> 01:03:04,479
Speaker 3: it's early.

1172
01:03:05,680 --> 01:03:10,000
Speaker 11: Yeah, I think it's hard for Miami and I've said

1173
01:03:10,040 --> 01:03:13,120
Speaker 11: that all off season. The challenge for the Dolphins this

1174
01:03:13,240 --> 01:03:15,040
Speaker 11: year was going to be they had to get healthy

1175
01:03:15,200 --> 01:03:17,840
Speaker 11: in the beginning part of the year because they weren't

1176
01:03:18,040 --> 01:03:20,800
Speaker 11: fully healthy with you know, Jalen Phillips and he started

1177
01:03:20,800 --> 01:03:22,760
Speaker 11: and then he's not there, and then Bradley Chubbs. So

1178
01:03:22,840 --> 01:03:24,040
Speaker 11: they were they going to get healthy.

1179
01:03:24,200 --> 01:03:24,560
Speaker 3: Some of their.

1180
01:03:24,520 --> 01:03:27,760
Speaker 11: Offensive line pieces out, So you're sitting there going you

1181
01:03:27,840 --> 01:03:29,920
Speaker 11: got to get healthy. The back half of their schedule

1182
01:03:30,160 --> 01:03:31,080
Speaker 11: is brutal.

1183
01:03:31,800 --> 01:03:33,920
Speaker 2: It is brutal, and so that you.

1184
01:03:33,960 --> 01:03:36,520
Speaker 11: Know, sitting at two and five, if you're a Dolphins fan,

1185
01:03:36,560 --> 01:03:38,600
Speaker 11: you'd hope that they would be five and two because

1186
01:03:38,600 --> 01:03:40,720
Speaker 11: they know the back end of the schedules are really

1187
01:03:40,840 --> 01:03:43,760
Speaker 11: daunting challenge. So as much as I love TUA, I mean,

1188
01:03:44,120 --> 01:03:47,040
Speaker 11: look at their schedule from November on, they're playing you know,

1189
01:03:47,120 --> 01:03:49,720
Speaker 11: that's a playoff contender, that's a playoff contender. You got

1190
01:03:49,760 --> 01:03:52,240
Speaker 11: a playoff contender with the Packers, playoff contender with Houston.

1191
01:03:52,320 --> 01:03:55,000
Speaker 11: I mean their final, their final stretching games is a

1192
01:03:55,080 --> 01:03:57,080
Speaker 11: beast man, and to try to dig yourself out of

1193
01:03:57,120 --> 01:03:59,680
Speaker 11: a hole, I think is a little bit of an

1194
01:03:59,760 --> 01:04:01,680
Speaker 11: un realistic expectation for them.

1195
01:04:02,720 --> 01:04:05,840
Speaker 2: Their defense on paper, Dan, you know, it looks good,

1196
01:04:06,160 --> 01:04:09,840
Speaker 2: I mean top ten total defense, pretty good. You know

1197
01:04:10,080 --> 01:04:15,320
Speaker 2: in some other areas as well, including third down, I

1198
01:04:15,400 --> 01:04:18,920
Speaker 2: don't know it. To me, it doesn't pass the smell test.

1199
01:04:19,440 --> 01:04:24,040
Speaker 2: And I think Arizona exposed some things that are deficient.

1200
01:04:24,240 --> 01:04:26,520
Speaker 2: I mean, I know, they only have nine sacks, that's

1201
01:04:26,560 --> 01:04:29,120
Speaker 2: thirty first in the league. And obviously without Jalen Phillips

1202
01:04:29,160 --> 01:04:31,320
Speaker 2: and Chubb, you would expect that you only got a

1203
01:04:31,360 --> 01:04:33,520
Speaker 2: young Chop Robinson up there that's got any kind of

1204
01:04:33,560 --> 01:04:37,560
Speaker 2: explosion and suddenness to his game. So that's not helping

1205
01:04:37,600 --> 01:04:40,040
Speaker 2: the guys on the back end. And they've got some

1206
01:04:40,240 --> 01:04:43,600
Speaker 2: guys that just quite frankly look old and slow on

1207
01:04:43,720 --> 01:04:46,720
Speaker 2: the back end. I mean, Marvin Harrison Junior was turning

1208
01:04:46,800 --> 01:04:49,080
Speaker 2: Jalen Ramsey around like a spinning top. And they didn't

1209
01:04:49,120 --> 01:04:51,440
Speaker 2: have an answer for McBride either. Last week what's going

1210
01:04:51,480 --> 01:04:51,840
Speaker 2: on there.

1211
01:04:53,320 --> 01:04:55,360
Speaker 11: Yeah, so Miami's d a little bit of the injuries,

1212
01:04:55,400 --> 01:04:57,520
Speaker 11: you know, like they don't they They were this team

1213
01:04:57,640 --> 01:04:59,600
Speaker 11: this time last year that had three edge rushers that

1214
01:04:59,680 --> 01:05:03,160
Speaker 11: were up salute, just game changers. None of them are

1215
01:05:03,200 --> 01:05:05,240
Speaker 11: there right now because of injury, and so that's been

1216
01:05:05,280 --> 01:05:07,880
Speaker 11: an issue. I think Jalen playing a little bit on

1217
01:05:08,000 --> 01:05:11,160
Speaker 11: early downs inside has been beneficial for them. Holland being

1218
01:05:11,240 --> 01:05:13,960
Speaker 11: knocked out, you know, Javon Holland's a star safety. Him

1219
01:05:14,440 --> 01:05:16,919
Speaker 11: being out for an extended period of times a massive loss.

1220
01:05:16,920 --> 01:05:19,320
Speaker 11: So they were trying to figure out who was really

1221
01:05:19,400 --> 01:05:22,320
Speaker 11: going to be playing corner opposite Jalen, How healthy could

1222
01:05:22,360 --> 01:05:25,240
Speaker 11: like a Kendall Fuller B and so like you're sitting

1223
01:05:25,280 --> 01:05:28,800
Speaker 11: there trying to build a defense with Anthony Weaver, who's

1224
01:05:28,800 --> 01:05:31,960
Speaker 11: their defensive coordinator, and you're trying to find healthy pieces

1225
01:05:32,320 --> 01:05:35,200
Speaker 11: that could play in certain places. Their pass rush doesn't

1226
01:05:35,240 --> 01:05:37,640
Speaker 11: have a guy right now. I think there's good players,

1227
01:05:37,680 --> 01:05:40,040
Speaker 11: but they don't have a guy that they can find

1228
01:05:40,080 --> 01:05:43,640
Speaker 11: a way because you know, really the scheme is built

1229
01:05:43,800 --> 01:05:47,040
Speaker 11: to either play coverage to help your rush not be

1230
01:05:47,160 --> 01:05:50,880
Speaker 11: a blitz team, or simulated pressures. Neither of them have

1231
01:05:51,080 --> 01:05:53,160
Speaker 11: gone well for them this year, and because of some

1232
01:05:53,240 --> 01:05:55,160
Speaker 11: of those pieces that have been lost to Phillips and

1233
01:05:55,200 --> 01:05:58,880
Speaker 11: the Holland, it's a team that it's probably not as

1234
01:06:00,000 --> 01:06:03,240
Speaker 11: balent wise as dominant as it was to Indoor last year,

1235
01:06:03,480 --> 01:06:05,880
Speaker 11: two years ago, Indoor last year. So they're trying to

1236
01:06:05,960 --> 01:06:08,280
Speaker 11: figure out a little bit of like what can be

1237
01:06:08,360 --> 01:06:10,680
Speaker 11: their go to stuff or go to person and really

1238
01:06:10,760 --> 01:06:14,640
Speaker 11: outside of Jalen being a playmaker, that's been lacking for them.

1239
01:06:15,640 --> 01:06:19,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's and it's interesting to me too, how their

1240
01:06:19,800 --> 01:06:22,640
Speaker 3: offense has had to change with two out. They've been

1241
01:06:22,640 --> 01:06:25,160
Speaker 3: trying to do it with these backup quarterbacks, you know

1242
01:06:25,520 --> 01:06:28,280
Speaker 3: not Yeah, give us an idea of you know where

1243
01:06:28,320 --> 01:06:31,880
Speaker 3: it's headed now. There's offensively because with you know, you

1244
01:06:31,960 --> 01:06:34,680
Speaker 3: got Tyreek, he got Jalen, and those guys seem to

1245
01:06:34,760 --> 01:06:37,880
Speaker 3: be like engines that can never get you know, turned over.

1246
01:06:39,320 --> 01:06:42,440
Speaker 11: Yeah, the offense this past week with TWA look very

1247
01:06:42,560 --> 01:06:45,360
Speaker 11: much so with the offense that were we've become accustomed

1248
01:06:45,360 --> 01:06:47,200
Speaker 11: to with the backup quarterbacks. It was in a shell

1249
01:06:47,240 --> 01:06:49,320
Speaker 11: of itself. I think you saw a lot of the

1250
01:06:49,440 --> 01:06:51,600
Speaker 11: remnants of what this offense has always been. Though with

1251
01:06:51,760 --> 01:06:54,040
Speaker 11: miket to a number one ball is going to come

1252
01:06:54,080 --> 01:06:55,840
Speaker 11: out on time over the middle of the field. It

1253
01:06:55,960 --> 01:07:00,400
Speaker 11: is an It is an anticipation and rhythm all offense.

1254
01:07:00,760 --> 01:07:03,440
Speaker 11: Number two, the perimeter screen game is massive. I think

1255
01:07:03,480 --> 01:07:05,600
Speaker 11: they threw six or seven of them last week that

1256
01:07:05,760 --> 01:07:08,400
Speaker 11: created big plays. They don't throw, you know, Buffalo, like

1257
01:07:08,440 --> 01:07:10,600
Speaker 11: I mentioned, they're throwing perimeter screen to maybe get five

1258
01:07:10,720 --> 01:07:13,280
Speaker 11: or six yards, like you know, Miami's throwing perimeter screen

1259
01:07:13,360 --> 01:07:15,840
Speaker 11: to kind of go get chunks, the one on one

1260
01:07:15,880 --> 01:07:17,120
Speaker 11: opportunities to Tyreek.

1261
01:07:17,200 --> 01:07:17,320
Speaker 2: You know.

1262
01:07:17,440 --> 01:07:20,560
Speaker 11: One of the candidly the reason they lose this game

1263
01:07:20,720 --> 01:07:23,440
Speaker 11: is they had two or three drops late in the

1264
01:07:23,480 --> 01:07:26,080
Speaker 11: football game that were inside the five or ten yard

1265
01:07:26,160 --> 01:07:28,640
Speaker 11: nine Waddle has won out to the one that just

1266
01:07:29,000 --> 01:07:32,280
Speaker 11: they didn't convert on and then he misses Tyreek end

1267
01:07:32,320 --> 01:07:35,280
Speaker 11: zone fade that is just off. And so they were

1268
01:07:35,360 --> 01:07:38,360
Speaker 11: close to scoring thirty five plus to forty points. So

1269
01:07:38,480 --> 01:07:41,360
Speaker 11: it's it's still an offense that's very explosive. Buffalo knows

1270
01:07:41,720 --> 01:07:45,360
Speaker 11: they play it usually relatively well. But don't don't think

1271
01:07:45,440 --> 01:07:47,640
Speaker 11: that two is just coming back. It's going to take

1272
01:07:47,720 --> 01:07:50,280
Speaker 11: time for them to get used to each other again,

1273
01:07:50,400 --> 01:07:52,200
Speaker 11: like they were humming this weekend.

1274
01:07:52,560 --> 01:07:54,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, and just to take that a step further if

1275
01:07:54,960 --> 01:07:58,000
Speaker 2: you go back to the first meeting Dan, like, the

1276
01:07:58,120 --> 01:08:02,840
Speaker 2: Bills had that perimeter screen game completely sniffed out, and

1277
01:08:03,000 --> 01:08:07,520
Speaker 2: yet McDaniel continue to go to it time and time

1278
01:08:07,720 --> 01:08:11,560
Speaker 2: and time again, and I thought it got less and

1279
01:08:11,680 --> 01:08:14,440
Speaker 2: less and less effective as the game were on. Because

1280
01:08:14,440 --> 01:08:17,799
Speaker 2: the Bills tackled well in space, rallied to the football,

1281
01:08:18,240 --> 01:08:21,000
Speaker 2: and limited yards after the catch. They've always been good

1282
01:08:21,040 --> 01:08:26,000
Speaker 2: at that. What could possibly be McDaniel's plan this time around?

1283
01:08:27,479 --> 01:08:31,280
Speaker 11: Yeah, So I think the challenge is when they play Buffalo,

1284
01:08:31,479 --> 01:08:34,519
Speaker 11: because Buffalo is eleven people on defense that play the

1285
01:08:34,960 --> 01:08:37,880
Speaker 11: pass and the run relatively similarly. You know, you know

1286
01:08:37,880 --> 01:08:40,719
Speaker 11: what I mean by that, Like they they got corners.

1287
01:08:40,880 --> 01:08:42,800
Speaker 11: You know, oftentimes in the run game they say, well

1288
01:08:42,800 --> 01:08:44,160
Speaker 11: we got to set the edge. Well, they've got the

1289
01:08:44,240 --> 01:08:46,840
Speaker 11: secondary that sets the edge as well. So I think

1290
01:08:46,880 --> 01:08:49,680
Speaker 11: when it comes to that stuff, you sit there and go, well,

1291
01:08:49,760 --> 01:08:52,920
Speaker 11: they handle that perimeter screen and or you know, long

1292
01:08:52,960 --> 01:08:56,920
Speaker 11: handoff stuff well. And another foundational part of their offense

1293
01:08:57,040 --> 01:08:59,679
Speaker 11: is like work the middle of the field. The challenge

1294
01:08:59,800 --> 01:09:02,800
Speaker 11: is Buffalo also does a very good job of their

1295
01:09:03,320 --> 01:09:06,320
Speaker 11: you know, pack the paint players, you know, their their

1296
01:09:06,560 --> 01:09:09,679
Speaker 11: their nickel, their mic and their their sam linebacker whatever

1297
01:09:09,760 --> 01:09:11,880
Speaker 11: we want to call them. That the tear in the

1298
01:09:11,960 --> 01:09:15,000
Speaker 11: Williams and who if it'll be Bernard or whatnot. They

1299
01:09:15,160 --> 01:09:17,840
Speaker 11: do a really got good job of not being impacted

1300
01:09:17,920 --> 01:09:21,680
Speaker 11: by auxiliary things. They trust that the ball is going

1301
01:09:21,760 --> 01:09:24,080
Speaker 11: to be sent back inside to them if it does

1302
01:09:24,160 --> 01:09:26,360
Speaker 11: get to the perimeter, So they play inside out in

1303
01:09:26,479 --> 01:09:29,479
Speaker 11: the run and then in the past game they kind

1304
01:09:29,520 --> 01:09:32,280
Speaker 11: of play inside out to the pass as well. And

1305
01:09:32,400 --> 01:09:36,200
Speaker 11: so they're their kind of responsibility it feels like is

1306
01:09:36,280 --> 01:09:41,120
Speaker 11: often pass first in the middle and then run first outside.

1307
01:09:41,320 --> 01:09:43,599
Speaker 11: And uh, I think they structurally match up well.

1308
01:09:43,800 --> 01:09:45,559
Speaker 3: So I'll put it to you our you know, our

1309
01:09:45,760 --> 01:09:49,559
Speaker 3: question of the day is, you know, mid season report

1310
01:09:49,680 --> 01:09:51,880
Speaker 3: on the Bills. What's your opinion of them? What you know,

1311
01:09:51,960 --> 01:09:53,720
Speaker 3: what's the top end, what's the low end? What do

1312
01:09:53,760 --> 01:09:54,080
Speaker 3: you think?

1313
01:09:54,240 --> 01:09:54,320
Speaker 11: Uh?

1314
01:09:54,960 --> 01:09:56,840
Speaker 3: What do you think of the squad that here in

1315
01:09:56,880 --> 01:09:59,840
Speaker 3: Buffalo and how they've done six two eight games halfway?

1316
01:10:02,240 --> 01:10:06,920
Speaker 11: See if I've said yesterday on get up, there's one

1317
01:10:07,000 --> 01:10:09,920
Speaker 11: and a half like two teams that I trust in

1318
01:10:10,000 --> 01:10:14,120
Speaker 11: the AFC, Kansas City I absolutely trust, and then Buffalo

1319
01:10:14,240 --> 01:10:17,320
Speaker 11: I trust. Now there's a little bit of how good

1320
01:10:17,560 --> 01:10:20,080
Speaker 11: you know is the defense because some of the pieces,

1321
01:10:20,200 --> 01:10:23,920
Speaker 11: like you know, how healthy can bernard and tear and stay.

1322
01:10:25,720 --> 01:10:29,719
Speaker 11: But I trust those two teams top to bottom. Baltimore

1323
01:10:29,840 --> 01:10:32,559
Speaker 11: is a very good football team. I don't trust their

1324
01:10:32,640 --> 01:10:35,880
Speaker 11: defense when it matters the most. Houston don't trust their

1325
01:10:35,920 --> 01:10:38,840
Speaker 11: offensive line. So I think that they're right there with

1326
01:10:39,040 --> 01:10:41,679
Speaker 11: Kansas City. I would give Kansas City the advantage still

1327
01:10:41,720 --> 01:10:43,960
Speaker 11: in my opinion, as a team, their defense is a

1328
01:10:44,120 --> 01:10:47,280
Speaker 11: dominant defense, and I think their offense will settle in.

1329
01:10:47,439 --> 01:10:51,400
Speaker 11: Hop was a good addition. But I'm surprised. Candidly I

1330
01:10:51,800 --> 01:10:55,200
Speaker 11: thought Buffalo would be good this year. I didn't think

1331
01:10:55,280 --> 01:10:57,519
Speaker 11: that I would have them in my mind at least

1332
01:10:57,600 --> 01:11:01,639
Speaker 11: as that at worst second best team or second most

1333
01:11:01,680 --> 01:11:03,000
Speaker 11: trusted team in that conference.

1334
01:11:04,080 --> 01:11:06,680
Speaker 2: Dan, appreciate the time. As always, We'll catch up with

1335
01:11:06,760 --> 01:11:10,639
Speaker 2: you next week. Thanks. Yes, all right, that's Dan Orlowski

1336
01:11:10,760 --> 01:11:15,439
Speaker 2: joining us ESPN NFL analyst as he was breaking down

1337
01:11:15,520 --> 01:11:18,680
Speaker 2: what Buffalo did well offensively last week and what this

1338
01:11:18,800 --> 01:11:20,560
Speaker 2: matchup could look like this week. You know, he was

1339
01:11:20,640 --> 01:11:23,880
Speaker 2: talking about all this perimeter stuff that the Dolphins go to.

1340
01:11:24,040 --> 01:11:26,439
Speaker 2: You know, those perimeter screens, particularly to a chan who

1341
01:11:26,600 --> 01:11:29,920
Speaker 2: is a menace after the catch if he's got blockers

1342
01:11:29,960 --> 01:11:31,280
Speaker 2: in front of him, because he runs a four to

1343
01:11:31,360 --> 01:11:34,880
Speaker 2: three and he's up the field in a shot. If

1344
01:11:34,920 --> 01:11:38,360
Speaker 2: you can't get a body on him shortly after the catch,

1345
01:11:38,400 --> 01:11:42,280
Speaker 2: that's a problem. And the Bills they had that sniffed

1346
01:11:42,360 --> 01:11:47,519
Speaker 2: out from the jump in week two. And really it's

1347
01:11:47,520 --> 01:11:51,040
Speaker 2: almost like McDaniel didn't have a plan B for that

1348
01:11:51,240 --> 01:11:54,200
Speaker 2: because he kept going there. I mean, I think eight

1349
01:11:54,320 --> 01:11:56,360
Speaker 2: Chan had like eight nine catches in the game, but

1350
01:11:57,600 --> 01:12:01,880
Speaker 2: nothing for tremendously respectable yarding, right and obviously they kept

1351
01:12:02,160 --> 01:12:05,479
Speaker 2: a lid on Hill and Waddle as well and closed

1352
01:12:05,520 --> 01:12:07,200
Speaker 2: down the middle of the field. It's amazing that the

1353
01:12:07,280 --> 01:12:08,280
Speaker 2: Bills did all that stuff.

1354
01:12:08,320 --> 01:12:12,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, eight Chant had seven catches, how many targets seven

1355
01:12:12,320 --> 01:12:14,559
Speaker 3: on seven? They were really close, you know, they were

1356
01:12:14,600 --> 01:12:16,839
Speaker 3: easy completions because they were behind the line of scrimage.

1357
01:12:16,840 --> 01:12:19,080
Speaker 3: He had sixty nine yards a touchdown and his long

1358
01:12:19,200 --> 01:12:21,120
Speaker 3: was sixteen in that last game.

1359
01:12:21,120 --> 01:12:23,600
Speaker 2: That's a win against chance and.

1360
01:12:23,640 --> 01:12:26,559
Speaker 3: I'm with you, And that's one place where the Bills

1361
01:12:26,560 --> 01:12:28,800
Speaker 3: have been susceptate, particularly early in games where we got

1362
01:12:28,800 --> 01:12:31,280
Speaker 3: the you know, we've been through this where you know,

1363
01:12:31,360 --> 01:12:34,120
Speaker 3: the Tennessee Titans, and then of course Seattle. They have

1364
01:12:34,320 --> 01:12:38,320
Speaker 3: that some luck and some early success with those screen

1365
01:12:38,400 --> 01:12:42,080
Speaker 3: passes because of the energy the defensive line brings from Buffalo.

1366
01:12:42,200 --> 01:12:44,240
Speaker 3: They let them through, They throw it right over the

1367
01:12:44,320 --> 01:12:46,519
Speaker 3: top of them and get some space that way, and

1368
01:12:46,600 --> 01:12:50,760
Speaker 3: then you know, offensive coordinators are very reticent to go

1369
01:12:50,840 --> 01:12:52,640
Speaker 3: back and run a play again that they've already had

1370
01:12:52,680 --> 01:12:55,559
Speaker 3: some success with because defenses sniff it out and they

1371
01:12:55,680 --> 01:13:01,360
Speaker 3: run through that menu and they're done. Miami, I think

1372
01:13:01,400 --> 01:13:02,840
Speaker 3: you got to go in there thinking that's going to

1373
01:13:02,880 --> 01:13:04,720
Speaker 3: be their plan. The ball's got to come out with two.

1374
01:13:04,840 --> 01:13:06,200
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, not going to hold onto the ball.

1375
01:13:06,240 --> 01:13:06,840
Speaker 3: It's coming out.

1376
01:13:06,920 --> 01:13:09,719
Speaker 2: And Buffalo's pass rush has been successful against them too, That's.

1377
01:13:09,680 --> 01:13:11,920
Speaker 3: Right, and that's why they that's why they're twelve and

1378
01:13:12,000 --> 01:13:15,599
Speaker 3: two over the last fourteen against Miami because the Bill's

1379
01:13:15,680 --> 01:13:18,000
Speaker 3: pass rush is good to get home and they they

1380
01:13:18,120 --> 01:13:20,160
Speaker 3: sit on those short routes and two has got to

1381
01:13:20,160 --> 01:13:23,240
Speaker 3: pass the ball because those timing routes are you know,

1382
01:13:23,280 --> 01:13:27,840
Speaker 3: are snapped off. Yeah, So if it comes out to

1383
01:13:27,920 --> 01:13:30,720
Speaker 3: be more of that, I'm all, we're all okay with that.

1384
01:13:31,400 --> 01:13:34,920
Speaker 3: But you gotta think Dolphins and Mike McDaniel see the

1385
01:13:34,960 --> 01:13:36,320
Speaker 3: exact same thing we're talking about.

1386
01:13:36,960 --> 01:13:38,800
Speaker 2: Let's jump back on the phone lines real quick out

1387
01:13:38,840 --> 01:13:41,080
Speaker 2: some people that have been waiting patiently to give us

1388
01:13:41,120 --> 01:13:43,120
Speaker 2: their mid season opinion of the Bills. We go out

1389
01:13:43,160 --> 01:13:47,360
Speaker 2: to Iowa and check in with Steve. What's up, Steve, Hi, thanks.

1390
01:13:47,160 --> 01:13:52,080
Speaker 9: For taking my call. Guys, you're like, I'd like to

1391
01:13:53,120 --> 01:13:55,559
Speaker 9: amend Steve on his beautiful warts analogy.

1392
01:13:55,640 --> 01:13:56,280
Speaker 7: I just love that.

1393
01:13:58,640 --> 01:14:02,720
Speaker 9: What I say, you can't really you can't really come

1394
01:14:02,800 --> 01:14:05,000
Speaker 9: up with anything original talk about. So I'll just say

1395
01:14:05,040 --> 01:14:08,200
Speaker 9: I'm concerned with the de or I'm not concerned with

1396
01:14:08,280 --> 01:14:10,479
Speaker 9: the defense. I thought there was gonna be the issue,

1397
01:14:10,520 --> 01:14:13,839
Speaker 9: but they seem to be playing very well. The penalties

1398
01:14:13,880 --> 01:14:16,479
Speaker 9: are bothering me a little bit, but again, I think

1399
01:14:16,520 --> 01:14:19,559
Speaker 9: they're up in the league, as you were indicating earlier.

1400
01:14:20,040 --> 01:14:22,479
Speaker 9: But I do have one question. There seems to be

1401
01:14:22,560 --> 01:14:25,240
Speaker 9: in the athletic a lot of smoke about Micah Hyde.

1402
01:14:25,840 --> 01:14:27,920
Speaker 9: Do you guys have any insight as to what's going

1403
01:14:27,960 --> 01:14:31,719
Speaker 9: on with him? If if somebody's just blowing smoke? And secondly,

1404
01:14:32,320 --> 01:14:36,400
Speaker 9: do you see elam Uh coming in this year at

1405
01:14:36,439 --> 01:14:39,519
Speaker 9: all and and justifying as his high draft pick?

1406
01:14:39,880 --> 01:14:40,679
Speaker 11: And if you don't mind.

1407
01:14:40,720 --> 01:14:43,120
Speaker 9: I'd like to say all to my buddy in Hilton.

1408
01:14:42,880 --> 01:14:48,479
Speaker 2: Dick, sure thing, Sure you just did. Thanks for the call, Steve. Yeah,

1409
01:14:48,560 --> 01:14:52,439
Speaker 2: I will say that. You know, Ilam has been unable

1410
01:14:52,479 --> 01:14:57,280
Speaker 2: to crack the lineup, and I honestly think it's not

1411
01:14:57,560 --> 01:15:00,800
Speaker 2: because of anything he hasn't done. I think it's because

1412
01:15:00,840 --> 01:15:05,080
Speaker 2: of how well Douglas and Benford are playing. He can't

1413
01:15:05,080 --> 01:15:07,599
Speaker 2: get on the field because those two guys are playing

1414
01:15:07,680 --> 01:15:11,519
Speaker 2: lights out football. So no, yeah, barring an injury, I

1415
01:15:11,600 --> 01:15:13,599
Speaker 2: don't see him getting on the field if the level

1416
01:15:13,680 --> 01:15:16,520
Speaker 2: of play that Benford and Douglas are bringing every week continuous.

1417
01:15:16,920 --> 01:15:19,880
Speaker 3: Benford's been all pro level. I mean, there's no I mean,

1418
01:15:19,920 --> 01:15:22,120
Speaker 3: it's just nobody gets away from him. They can't throw

1419
01:15:22,160 --> 01:15:27,160
Speaker 3: it at him. And so that's why that's, you know,

1420
01:15:27,240 --> 01:15:28,880
Speaker 3: why Kyer hasn't been able to get on the field.

1421
01:15:28,960 --> 01:15:33,560
Speaker 3: So yeah, I get you though that. You know, defensively,

1422
01:15:34,320 --> 01:15:37,040
Speaker 3: the Bills have been They've been playing very well. I've

1423
01:15:37,040 --> 01:15:41,160
Speaker 3: been making chicken salad and it's gone extremely well. Now

1424
01:15:41,160 --> 01:15:44,040
Speaker 3: they're going to get von Miller back. And for those

1425
01:15:44,160 --> 01:15:46,720
Speaker 3: keeping score, I said yesterday he was going to sack

1426
01:15:46,800 --> 01:15:47,120
Speaker 3: a game.

1427
01:15:47,400 --> 01:15:50,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've been played only nine snaps in Baltimore, so

1428
01:15:51,200 --> 01:15:57,360
Speaker 2: to get discernible statistics and production after just nine snaps unrealistic.

1429
01:15:57,520 --> 01:16:01,040
Speaker 2: So basically three sacks in three games. Yeah, so he

1430
01:16:01,240 --> 01:16:04,519
Speaker 2: was productive. You know, he's going to be fresh coming

1431
01:16:04,560 --> 01:16:07,160
Speaker 2: in this week, fresh legs. Certainly a lot fresher than

1432
01:16:07,160 --> 01:16:08,559
Speaker 2: a lot of other guys on the team, even at

1433
01:16:08,600 --> 01:16:14,479
Speaker 2: age thirty five, you know. And with respect to the defense, yeah,

1434
01:16:14,479 --> 01:16:16,920
Speaker 2: they are holding it down. The pre snab penalties are

1435
01:16:16,920 --> 01:16:20,479
Speaker 2: a problem, as coach McDermott says, they're non negotiable, so

1436
01:16:20,760 --> 01:16:24,240
Speaker 2: those have to be cleaned up. In their defense, the

1437
01:16:24,320 --> 01:16:26,559
Speaker 2: crew they had last week costs more penalties than any

1438
01:16:27,280 --> 01:16:29,760
Speaker 2: other crew in the league, and they lived up to it.

1439
01:16:30,000 --> 01:16:33,160
Speaker 2: They averaged twenty four flags a game assess eighteen penalties

1440
01:16:33,200 --> 01:16:35,640
Speaker 2: a game. Last week they threw thirty two flags by

1441
01:16:35,680 --> 01:16:40,600
Speaker 2: our count in the broadcast booth and assessed twenty four penalties,

1442
01:16:42,080 --> 01:16:45,280
Speaker 2: thirteen for one side, eleven for the other. So we'll

1443
01:16:45,280 --> 01:16:46,920
Speaker 2: see if it goes down this week. It may be

1444
01:16:47,000 --> 01:16:50,200
Speaker 2: predicated largely on who's calling the game, and to Steve's point,

1445
01:16:50,320 --> 01:16:54,679
Speaker 2: very quickly players if they see the game is being

1446
01:16:54,800 --> 01:16:57,519
Speaker 2: called tight, they have to adjust their play to the

1447
01:16:57,560 --> 01:17:00,519
Speaker 2: way the game is being called, and for a long

1448
01:17:00,600 --> 01:17:03,439
Speaker 2: stretch of that game they did not do that. That's

1449
01:17:03,520 --> 01:17:05,200
Speaker 2: on the to do list for the players as well.

1450
01:17:05,320 --> 01:17:07,360
Speaker 3: And that's on both sides of the ball. Yes, it's

1451
01:17:07,400 --> 01:17:09,240
Speaker 3: on both teams, both sides of the ball, and that

1452
01:17:09,600 --> 01:17:11,960
Speaker 3: happens every week as well, so it's not new for

1453
01:17:12,040 --> 01:17:12,519
Speaker 3: the players.

1454
01:17:12,880 --> 01:17:14,519
Speaker 2: Got to take a break here. When we come back,

1455
01:17:14,560 --> 01:17:16,880
Speaker 2: we'll lead off with Aaron out in Oregon. Here on

1460
01:17:45,000 --> 01:17:49,400
Speaker 2: of the Buffalo Bills. Heating Up is Buffalo On third down,

1461
01:17:49,640 --> 01:17:51,920
Speaker 2: it's been a problem on the offensive side of the ball.

1462
01:17:52,320 --> 01:17:55,400
Speaker 2: Despite the six and two record, it was not a problem.

1463
01:17:55,920 --> 01:17:58,960
Speaker 2: Last week in Seattle, they go eight for their first

1464
01:17:59,120 --> 01:18:02,040
Speaker 2: twelve and the last three are with Mitch Trubisky in

1465
01:18:02,080 --> 01:18:05,400
Speaker 2: the game, taking kneel downs and running the football. They

1466
01:18:05,479 --> 01:18:08,839
Speaker 2: didn't convert their last three, so they finished eight for fifteen,

1467
01:18:08,960 --> 01:18:12,200
Speaker 2: still over fifty percent, which is more in line with

1468
01:18:12,320 --> 01:18:15,439
Speaker 2: their league leading conversion rate of the last two years,

1469
01:18:15,800 --> 01:18:18,639
Speaker 2: and even defensively, it was good on third down, one

1470
01:18:18,800 --> 01:18:20,920
Speaker 2: for seven for Seattle on conversions.

1471
01:18:21,000 --> 01:18:23,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, they played very well on both sides of the ball,

1472
01:18:23,800 --> 01:18:27,840
Speaker 3: and certainly we talked about yesterday. Seattle for some reason

1473
01:18:27,920 --> 01:18:32,120
Speaker 3: struggled on Sunday, and the Bills were good enough to

1474
01:18:32,120 --> 01:18:34,680
Speaker 3: take advantage of it. To the tune of three touchdowns

1475
01:18:35,400 --> 01:18:39,599
Speaker 3: three touchdown difference in the game. Seattle blew of their

1476
01:18:39,600 --> 01:18:44,000
Speaker 3: own volition two opportunities inside goal to go cit territory

1477
01:18:44,080 --> 01:18:49,400
Speaker 3: for the Bills and came away with zero. So that helps, obviously,

1478
01:18:49,479 --> 01:18:51,720
Speaker 3: and it changes the game entirely, but the Bills were

1479
01:18:51,720 --> 01:18:53,280
Speaker 3: good enough to take advantage of it. And the two

1480
01:18:53,360 --> 01:18:55,120
Speaker 3: drives that the Bills put together in the first half

1481
01:18:55,160 --> 01:18:57,599
Speaker 3: that were ninety plus yards each one was I think

1482
01:18:57,680 --> 01:19:00,240
Speaker 3: one was ninety and the other was eighty seven or

1483
01:19:00,280 --> 01:19:04,800
Speaker 3: something like that, were really really impressive. And it's the

1484
01:19:04,920 --> 01:19:08,760
Speaker 3: first time, i think all year, not that they had

1485
01:19:08,840 --> 01:19:11,040
Speaker 3: put together a long drive like that, but that they

1486
01:19:11,120 --> 01:19:15,559
Speaker 3: did it close together, and it looked consistent. They were

1487
01:19:15,640 --> 01:19:18,240
Speaker 3: ready to move the football in any situation. They were

1488
01:19:18,280 --> 01:19:22,760
Speaker 3: running the ball extremely well, and they were playing complimentary

1489
01:19:22,800 --> 01:19:27,760
Speaker 3: football on the defensive side. So I'm that Seattle game

1490
01:19:28,040 --> 01:19:33,600
Speaker 3: against a good team at home in their place. That

1491
01:19:33,880 --> 01:19:37,680
Speaker 3: was a huge, I think step forward, not only for

1492
01:19:37,800 --> 01:19:40,160
Speaker 3: the team at large, but individual players you can pick

1493
01:19:40,200 --> 01:19:41,920
Speaker 3: out of the lineup and say, wow, that was as

1494
01:19:42,120 --> 01:19:42,919
Speaker 3: really special.

1495
01:19:43,400 --> 01:19:48,920
Speaker 2: Cooling down concerns about Buffalo's passing game over the last

1496
01:19:49,000 --> 01:19:51,679
Speaker 2: two weeks. With the addition of Amari Cooper via trade

1497
01:19:52,160 --> 01:19:57,479
Speaker 2: and the emergence of one Keon Coleman as a difference

1498
01:19:57,560 --> 01:20:01,519
Speaker 2: maker in the passing game, I would say concerns have

1499
01:20:01,640 --> 01:20:05,280
Speaker 2: been quelled considerably about the makeup of this receiving corpse.

1500
01:20:05,320 --> 01:20:08,080
Speaker 2: Now to mention the fact that Khalil Shakir looks back

1501
01:20:08,120 --> 01:20:11,240
Speaker 2: one hundred percent healthy and is making a big difference

1502
01:20:11,640 --> 01:20:13,040
Speaker 2: in the underneath areas.

1503
01:20:12,800 --> 01:20:16,360
Speaker 3: Your concerns are cooling down. Yes, that gotcha, all right, Yeah,

1504
01:20:16,560 --> 01:20:17,040
Speaker 3: I'm with you.

1505
01:20:18,400 --> 01:20:21,559
Speaker 2: I'm saying general concerns out there are cooling down.

1506
01:20:22,040 --> 01:20:26,679
Speaker 3: I am. We're back to this point where you can't

1507
01:20:26,720 --> 01:20:30,440
Speaker 3: wait to see him play again because every week offensively

1508
01:20:30,479 --> 01:20:34,840
Speaker 3: anyway and defensively offensively, it's fun to watch because you think, wow,

1509
01:20:35,120 --> 01:20:37,599
Speaker 3: they're gonna do it again. You know they're gonna get better.

1510
01:20:38,160 --> 01:20:40,639
Speaker 3: Keon's gonna do something else, Kamari Cooper's gonna do something,

1511
01:20:40,720 --> 01:20:44,439
Speaker 3: Khalil's gonna keep going. Think they're doing well, Cook everything.

1512
01:20:44,600 --> 01:20:50,000
Speaker 2: Think about this week two against Miami. I'mari Cooper obviously

1513
01:20:50,120 --> 01:20:52,240
Speaker 2: not a part of the equation. I don't think Keon

1514
01:20:52,320 --> 01:20:55,120
Speaker 2: caught a ball in that game. Oh yeah, you know

1515
01:20:55,160 --> 01:21:00,160
Speaker 2: what I mean, maybe one for like six yards. And

1516
01:21:00,240 --> 01:21:02,519
Speaker 2: now think about where this offense is now.

1517
01:21:04,520 --> 01:21:08,880
Speaker 3: I mean, hello, yeah, Coleman had one target, zero catches.

1518
01:21:09,000 --> 01:21:12,040
Speaker 3: Ray Davis, he didn't even have a catch. Yeah, I

1519
01:21:12,120 --> 01:21:14,959
Speaker 3: mean Cook had won catch.

1520
01:21:14,960 --> 01:21:16,400
Speaker 2: Just well and went for a touchdown.

1521
01:21:16,439 --> 01:21:19,439
Speaker 3: Kim Kaid and Shakir had nine catches between them on

1522
01:21:19,680 --> 01:21:20,400
Speaker 3: nine targets.

1523
01:21:20,439 --> 01:21:23,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's I mean the offense didn't have to

1524
01:21:23,840 --> 01:21:27,439
Speaker 2: do much because the turnovers gave him short shields. But still,

1525
01:21:27,760 --> 01:21:31,599
Speaker 2: Josh was thirteen and nineteen. Yeah, I mean think about

1526
01:21:31,640 --> 01:21:35,080
Speaker 2: it then, and like where the passing game is now? Yeah,

1527
01:21:35,160 --> 01:21:39,400
Speaker 2: plus Cooper, like you gotta feel good going into this. Yeah,

1528
01:21:39,439 --> 01:21:41,680
Speaker 2: even though the Dolphins do have two of bag but

1529
01:21:41,840 --> 01:21:44,200
Speaker 2: we'll see. Yeah, he'll be and it's it's gonna be

1530
01:21:44,280 --> 01:21:48,400
Speaker 2: one of those games too, Sunday at one. Yeah, you'll

1531
01:21:48,439 --> 01:21:50,640
Speaker 2: tear it up, let's go. So that is heating up

1532
01:21:50,640 --> 01:21:52,360
Speaker 2: and cooling down. Got to get back to the phones

1533
01:21:52,400 --> 01:21:54,800
Speaker 2: where Aaron and Oregon has been waiting patiently. What do

1534
01:21:54,840 --> 01:21:55,280
Speaker 2: you got first?

1535
01:21:55,280 --> 01:21:58,240
Speaker 4: Aaron, Hey, guys, thanks so much for squiz me. And

1536
01:21:58,880 --> 01:22:01,680
Speaker 4: first off, I was after game and I'm still flying high.

1537
01:22:01,760 --> 01:22:04,720
Speaker 4: So if I come off a little sugar high, that's

1538
01:22:05,320 --> 01:22:08,600
Speaker 4: because I was understand it was it was. It was

1539
01:22:08,640 --> 01:22:11,799
Speaker 4: so fun. I actually got tired of saying go bills

1540
01:22:12,120 --> 01:22:16,240
Speaker 4: walking downtown Seattle, because you know, if you're in Orchard Park,

1541
01:22:16,360 --> 01:22:19,200
Speaker 4: you know, it's it's kind of implied. Everybody's wearing the gear,

1542
01:22:19,240 --> 01:22:22,840
Speaker 4: but in a different place you're saying go bills. But like, okay,

1543
01:22:22,840 --> 01:22:25,120
Speaker 4: I already said it six hundred times today. So anyway,

1544
01:22:25,800 --> 01:22:29,800
Speaker 4: it was fun. But my my half season report is,

1545
01:22:30,200 --> 01:22:32,400
Speaker 4: to quote Steve, let's go.

1546
01:22:33,479 --> 01:22:34,559
Speaker 11: I am. I am.

1547
01:22:34,720 --> 01:22:37,240
Speaker 4: I am so positive on the team. We're getting Milano

1548
01:22:37,360 --> 01:22:40,599
Speaker 4: back at some point, We're getting von Miller back, our

1549
01:22:40,960 --> 01:22:43,880
Speaker 4: our young receivers are getting better. I just see it's

1550
01:22:44,040 --> 01:22:46,400
Speaker 4: getting better. And and you know, I'm I'm I'm always

1551
01:22:46,439 --> 01:22:49,080
Speaker 4: saying this is our year, but I really feel like it.

1552
01:22:49,560 --> 01:22:52,479
Speaker 4: You know that we're maturing. If we can stay healthy.

1553
01:22:52,880 --> 01:22:55,240
Speaker 4: You know, if Josh Allen is healthy, knock on wood,

1554
01:22:56,760 --> 01:22:59,960
Speaker 4: I think we got a real chance. So I'm excited.

1555
01:23:01,000 --> 01:23:05,120
Speaker 4: And then, uh, I think that Steve was just talking

1556
01:23:05,160 --> 01:23:07,320
Speaker 4: about it. I think that that third down stop and

1557
01:23:07,400 --> 01:23:09,640
Speaker 4: then the fourth down stop to keep him out of

1558
01:23:09,680 --> 01:23:12,040
Speaker 4: the end zone. It was all over then, and I

1559
01:23:12,200 --> 01:23:14,240
Speaker 4: was in that end zone, so it was It was

1560
01:23:14,320 --> 01:23:18,080
Speaker 4: super fun to watch getting soaked and still going crazy

1561
01:23:18,160 --> 01:23:22,240
Speaker 4: with you know, fifty bills fans. It was really fun.

1562
01:23:22,320 --> 01:23:24,920
Speaker 4: And I have one more topic. I know, I know

1563
01:23:25,000 --> 01:23:28,360
Speaker 4: you heard a lot Steve that you do belong in

1564
01:23:28,439 --> 01:23:31,040
Speaker 4: the Hall of Fame and you're always gracious and humble

1565
01:23:31,120 --> 01:23:33,720
Speaker 4: and stuff, but but I want to say, you're not

1566
01:23:33,880 --> 01:23:37,160
Speaker 4: making it as a steaming pile of baloney to keep

1567
01:23:37,200 --> 01:23:39,160
Speaker 4: it PG. So thank you guys so much for taking

1568
01:23:39,240 --> 01:23:39,519
Speaker 4: the call.

1569
01:23:39,720 --> 01:23:42,160
Speaker 2: sureI blooney. I second that.

1570
01:23:43,600 --> 01:23:43,800
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1571
01:23:43,880 --> 01:23:47,400
Speaker 2: For those that don't know, last week, the Seniors Committee

1572
01:23:47,400 --> 01:23:52,080
Speaker 2: list got reduced and there are no specialists uh left

1573
01:23:52,120 --> 01:23:55,559
Speaker 2: among the Senior Committee candidates, including Steve who got uh

1574
01:23:56,400 --> 01:24:00,720
Speaker 2: unfortunately uh kicked out lopped off the list. It was

1575
01:24:00,840 --> 01:24:03,080
Speaker 2: just excluded. Lord man, we're gonna have to wait another

1576
01:24:03,200 --> 01:24:07,519
Speaker 2: year now, I will say I was happy on the

1577
01:24:07,640 --> 01:24:12,120
Speaker 2: modern era candidate's list to see Ricky Waters make the

1578
01:24:12,200 --> 01:24:17,519
Speaker 2: next cutdown because he is the only running back in

1579
01:24:17,600 --> 01:24:20,240
Speaker 2: the history of the league with twelve thousand rushing yards

1580
01:24:20,360 --> 01:24:24,080
Speaker 2: who is not in the Hall of Fame. And I

1581
01:24:24,120 --> 01:24:26,600
Speaker 2: think it's because he played for like three teams or

1582
01:24:26,680 --> 01:24:28,200
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know what the reason is.

1583
01:24:28,320 --> 01:24:30,680
Speaker 3: But the one reason is because they were laid in

1584
01:24:30,720 --> 01:24:33,240
Speaker 3: a game and he and he let a pass go

1585
01:24:33,960 --> 01:24:36,479
Speaker 3: because he was gonna get lit up. Oh, and they

1586
01:24:36,680 --> 01:24:39,280
Speaker 3: questioned him alligator arms what yeah, And they said, why

1587
01:24:39,320 --> 01:24:41,200
Speaker 3: didn't you do that? He goes, he goes for what?

1588
01:24:42,280 --> 01:24:43,920
Speaker 3: That was his answer and they were like, oh, they

1589
01:24:43,960 --> 01:24:46,040
Speaker 3: didn't like that. And they have held that against him

1590
01:24:46,080 --> 01:24:48,240
Speaker 3: for it was a it was a lost cause game,

1591
01:24:48,840 --> 01:24:53,240
Speaker 3: and uh, you know they they have penalized him for

1592
01:24:53,360 --> 01:24:55,080
Speaker 3: that as well. I've heard and I'm you know.

1593
01:24:55,160 --> 01:24:56,240
Speaker 2: So it was unfamiliar.

1594
01:24:56,479 --> 01:24:57,880
Speaker 3: It was a bad It was a bad It was

1595
01:24:57,880 --> 01:24:59,720
Speaker 3: a bad moment for him, probably bad answer to a

1596
01:24:59,800 --> 01:25:02,280
Speaker 3: quiest when he was a frustrated guy. And you know,

1597
01:25:02,760 --> 01:25:04,360
Speaker 3: you know, for me, you know me, I've got enough,

1598
01:25:04,920 --> 01:25:08,400
Speaker 3: I got enough grace for moments like that. Sure, yes,

1599
01:25:08,479 --> 01:25:12,519
Speaker 3: you're right. He had a fantastic career and should very

1600
01:25:12,600 --> 01:25:13,280
Speaker 3: well be So.

1601
01:25:13,320 --> 01:25:15,240
Speaker 2: We'll see if he gets there. It gets to the

1602
01:25:15,280 --> 01:25:18,519
Speaker 2: list of finalists and stuff, and we'll just have to

1603
01:25:18,560 --> 01:25:21,840
Speaker 2: cross our fingers and toes for you next year with

1604
01:25:21,960 --> 01:25:24,000
Speaker 2: the Seniors Committee, you've got to get their heads on straight.

1605
01:25:24,200 --> 01:25:26,400
Speaker 2: They had Thurman helping you out there, but my got

1606
01:25:26,640 --> 01:25:29,000
Speaker 2: somebody else. Get get caught up with the program here.

1607
01:25:30,040 --> 01:25:33,000
Speaker 2: There is another trade in the NFL that took place.

1608
01:25:33,720 --> 01:25:39,200
Speaker 2: Carolina is sending wide receiver Deontay Johnson to the Baltimore Ravens.

1609
01:25:40,080 --> 01:25:42,000
Speaker 2: So the Ravens, much like a lot of the other

1610
01:25:42,080 --> 01:25:46,439
Speaker 2: AFC contenders, have made a trade to acquire a veteran receiver.

1611
01:25:47,160 --> 01:25:49,840
Speaker 2: So Deontay Johnson to the Ravens, and it's basically one

1612
01:25:49,880 --> 01:25:52,639
Speaker 2: of the pick swaps, like many we have seen already.

1613
01:25:53,080 --> 01:25:57,200
Speaker 2: Baltimore sending a fifth round pick to Carolina in exchange

1614
01:25:57,320 --> 01:26:01,560
Speaker 2: for Deontay Johnson and a six So I'm trying to

1615
01:26:01,600 --> 01:26:05,720
Speaker 2: remember where Deontay Johnson's contract sits and whether he'll be

1616
01:26:05,840 --> 01:26:09,040
Speaker 2: a rental. I can't quite remember if he's set to

1617
01:26:09,080 --> 01:26:11,640
Speaker 2: become a free agent. I don't think so, because he

1618
01:26:11,760 --> 01:26:16,400
Speaker 2: only got there a year or two ago. But I'll

1619
01:26:16,439 --> 01:26:18,080
Speaker 2: look it up when I get a chance here. But

1620
01:26:18,600 --> 01:26:22,760
Speaker 2: Deontay Johnson an interesting ad for them because and the

1621
01:26:22,840 --> 01:26:24,439
Speaker 2: reason I say that is because I feel like he

1622
01:26:24,520 --> 01:26:26,920
Speaker 2: does a lot of the same things that Zay Flowers does.

1623
01:26:28,240 --> 01:26:33,400
Speaker 3: So one more year on his contract after this. Yeah, yeah,

1624
01:26:33,439 --> 01:26:38,240
Speaker 3: it's interesting. I'm yeah, I mean, I don't receiver.

1625
01:26:38,479 --> 01:26:40,960
Speaker 2: They haven't been struggling for weapons, you know what I mean.

1626
01:26:41,120 --> 01:26:44,040
Speaker 2: Like Bateman has been a pleasant surprise for them, their

1627
01:26:44,080 --> 01:26:46,160
Speaker 2: former first round pick from a few years ago. Zay

1628
01:26:46,200 --> 01:26:49,560
Speaker 2: Flowers does a lot for the offense, uh in a

1629
01:26:49,600 --> 01:26:53,040
Speaker 2: lot of different places. And then you've got out Agalore,

1630
01:26:53,080 --> 01:26:57,040
Speaker 2: who's like the veteran guy outside, and you have the

1631
01:26:57,080 --> 01:27:00,519
Speaker 2: two tight ends like le and Andrews. Like this one

1632
01:27:00,600 --> 01:27:03,120
Speaker 2: puzzles me a little bit. It's not like they were

1633
01:27:03,280 --> 01:27:04,639
Speaker 2: dying to add a weapon.

1634
01:27:04,800 --> 01:27:08,000
Speaker 3: Well here's the thing too, it's becoming obvious. I mean,

1635
01:27:08,080 --> 01:27:13,120
Speaker 3: all these wide receivers moving around, it's the one position

1636
01:27:13,240 --> 01:27:15,040
Speaker 3: as important as it is, and it, let's face it,

1637
01:27:15,040 --> 01:27:19,440
Speaker 3: it is a money position. Those guys are engines for offenses.

1638
01:27:20,560 --> 01:27:23,040
Speaker 3: But you can also acclimate him a lot faster than

1639
01:27:23,080 --> 01:27:25,840
Speaker 3: you can other positions. Right, you can get them up

1640
01:27:25,880 --> 01:27:27,519
Speaker 3: and get them run, and then give them a package

1641
01:27:27,520 --> 01:27:30,679
Speaker 3: of plays that they can run and some simple rules

1642
01:27:30,720 --> 01:27:32,719
Speaker 3: to follow, and they can get on the field quicker

1643
01:27:32,760 --> 01:27:38,680
Speaker 3: and make a difference. And that makes the hot commodity

1644
01:27:38,760 --> 01:27:40,760
Speaker 3: that can be traded a little bit easier than you

1645
01:27:40,840 --> 01:27:43,160
Speaker 3: can you know, an offensive center or you know, and

1646
01:27:43,280 --> 01:27:44,240
Speaker 3: certainly a quarterback.

1647
01:27:44,640 --> 01:27:47,000
Speaker 2: We've got one more bit of news, and it's Bill's news.

1648
01:27:47,520 --> 01:27:51,240
Speaker 2: They have released Darrenton Evans. He was on injured reserve

1649
01:27:51,520 --> 01:27:56,040
Speaker 2: and began practicing this week, but they are not going

1650
01:27:56,120 --> 01:27:58,120
Speaker 2: to find a spot for him on the active roster,

1651
01:27:58,960 --> 01:28:02,479
Speaker 2: so he has been released. They've got the club. I

1652
01:28:02,560 --> 01:28:04,799
Speaker 2: suppose it could be signed back to the practice squad,

1653
01:28:05,640 --> 01:28:08,280
Speaker 2: but perhaps Evans is looking for a job on an

1654
01:28:08,320 --> 01:28:11,599
Speaker 2: active roster first and might want to see where that goes.

1655
01:28:11,840 --> 01:28:13,840
Speaker 3: Let's face it, they must, I think right about now.

1656
01:28:13,880 --> 01:28:16,560
Speaker 3: The Buffalo Bills love their their running back room just

1657
01:28:16,680 --> 01:28:17,200
Speaker 3: the way it is.

1658
01:28:17,680 --> 01:28:19,640
Speaker 2: Gotta take a break. One final segment when we come

1659
01:28:19,680 --> 01:28:21,080
Speaker 2: back here on one Bill's Live Stay.

1660
01:28:20,920 --> 01:28:21,200

1666
01:28:56,400 --> 01:28:59,519
Speaker 2: We'll get one comment in there on the mid season

1667
01:28:59,560 --> 01:29:01,439
Speaker 2: opinion on the Bills. Matt says six and two is

1668
01:29:01,479 --> 01:29:04,240
Speaker 2: around slightly better than expected. Positive signs from the offense

1669
01:29:04,280 --> 01:29:07,240
Speaker 2: and defense are holding well considering their injuries we've had

1670
01:29:07,280 --> 01:29:10,439
Speaker 2: over the eight weeks. Go Bills tweets you brought to

1671
01:29:10,439 --> 01:29:12,760
Speaker 2: you by Corgan Moving Systems, official moving company in the

1672
01:29:12,800 --> 01:29:16,599
Speaker 2: Buffalo Bills. Seth says, upward trajectory at the right time.

1673
01:29:16,760 --> 01:29:19,160
Speaker 2: Finally figured out how to use Keon and his confidence

1674
01:29:19,240 --> 01:29:22,679
Speaker 2: is growing. Josh distributing it well, keep feeding Shakir running

1675
01:29:22,680 --> 01:29:24,960
Speaker 2: game looking good. Getting von Beck will help the rush,

1676
01:29:25,400 --> 01:29:27,280
Speaker 2: need to rail Bernard to stay healthy, and the d

1677
