00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:35,320
Speaker 1: This one Bills Live presented by Kalida Health.

2
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:37,879
Speaker 2: All Right, here on a Tuesday, and we're already just

3
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 2: two days away from game day. Chris Brown, Steve Tasker

4
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 2: here with you as we sit about a little over

5
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 2: forty eight hours away from Thursday night football Bills Dolphins,

6
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:50,479
Speaker 2: and we'll get into it in earnest in just a

7
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:56,240
Speaker 2: little bit. Full show ahead here, and we'll get into

8
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 2: the rundown in just a minute as well, along with

9
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 2: around the NFL and everything else. And Sean McDermott just

10
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:08,320
Speaker 2: finished addressing the media. We're gonna rerack that and play

11
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:10,319
Speaker 2: his comments for you so you can get an update

12
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 2: on everything. But essentially yesterday he said that the biggest

13
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 2: news was that Josh Allen's left hand was medically cleared

14
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:22,479
Speaker 2: for practice and Thursday's game, so he will be good

15
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:26,480
Speaker 2: to go Thursday night. And then Tarren Johnson, for all

16
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:29,759
Speaker 2: intents and purposes, is out for Thursday, and it could

17
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 2: be even longer than that as they're mulling over some decisions,

18
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 2: and we'll hear more from Sean McDermott on that in

19
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 2: just a little bit. No timeline on him as of yet,

20
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:46,959
Speaker 2: but we're anticipating a decision soon. Excuse me. Duant Smoot

21
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 2: not looking like he's gonna play on Thursday night either,

22
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 2: dealing with a toe injury, and then running back Ty

23
00:01:55,760 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 2: Johnson and edge rusher Javon Solomon limited in pray actors

24
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 2: considered day to day. They're trying to get back in

25
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 2: time to play Thursday night. Quentin Morris, Mitch Trubisky good

26
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 2: to go, So looks like it'll be Cam Lewis again.

27
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 2: And hey, look, Cam played his butt off last week

28
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 2: when he had to step in for Tara, because let's

29
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:22,519
Speaker 2: not forget tarn got injured like second series of the game.

30
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:26,240
Speaker 2: It was early and he was out, and by games end,

31
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 2: Cam Lewis is your second leading tackler in the game,

32
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 2: behind torelburn Art.

33
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:32,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's and he also and he had a

34
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 1: couple of tackles for loss. And he did what he

35
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 1: has seen and what we've all seen Taron Johnson do.

36
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 1: He was up mixing it up in the run game,

37
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 1: which was huge against Arizona. Both these clubs, and I

38
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 1: don't know if you watched around the league running the

39
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 1: run game was inflated in Week one of the twenty

40
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 1: twenty four season. Compared to any point in twenty twenty three.

41
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 1: Everybody was running the football on opening day. Say what

42
00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 1: you will, whether it's a trend or whether it's just

43
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 1: opening day. Hey, let's just you know, take this easy

44
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 1: out of the gate. Maybe it's getting your starters acclimated

45
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 1: after not playing in the preseason. But I mean the

46
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 1: average throw, I think the average was one hundred and

47
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:16,680
Speaker 1: eighty seven yards around the league. So you needed somebody

48
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 1: to stick their nose in the run game, it felt

49
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 1: to Cam Lewis.

50
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know he's not afraid to do that. Yeah,

51
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:25,640
Speaker 2: So yeah, a really good performance. So I think you

52
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 2: can at least go in encouraged that with Cam stepping

53
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 2: in for Terran and lining up and getting reps, even

54
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 2: if they're of a walk through variety. With the other

55
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 2: ten guys on defense, he might even be sharper than

56
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 2: he was last week.

57
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's going to be a much bigger task

58
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 1: this week this Miami offense than it was with Arizona's.

59
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 1: And as talented as Arizona was and Kyler and Marvin

60
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:53,119
Speaker 1: Harrison Junior, all of that stuff, they had some guys

61
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 1: that can really go in Arizona, but Connor is their

62
00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:00,839
Speaker 1: big gun, they're the running back in Miami. We all

63
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 1: know what they can do offensively, It's a different animal,

64
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 1: and you gotta stick it in reverse if you're in

65
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 1: the back end of the Bills defense, because you've got

66
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 1: to keep a lid on it because they will run

67
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 1: past you. So it's going to be a different animal

68
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 1: this week, and a much much different game plan defensively

69
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 1: as well. So however, well Cam Lewis and the crew

70
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:25,479
Speaker 1: fit into this game plan, do you better hope they've

71
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 1: got a wide enough skill set to fit into this one,

72
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:28,480
Speaker 1: because it's gonna be different.

73
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:32,280
Speaker 2: Bill's practice updates are presented by Lee coom your Lake

74
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:37,159
Speaker 2: Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine, and this week's game against

75
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 2: the Dolphins is presented by the b FLO Store, which

76
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:49,279
Speaker 2: is an official retailer of the Buffalo Bills. Yeah, I

77
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:52,279
Speaker 2: I don't know, Like there have been some changes for

78
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 2: both teams obviously, as that happens every offseason. And I

79
00:04:57,080 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 2: think the one surprise is that Jalen Phillips is covered

80
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 2: from his achille surgery and played last week, got a

81
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 2: sack at the end of the game in the Miami

82
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 2: come from behind victory. So I'm surprised that he came

83
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,599
Speaker 2: back as quickly as he did from a ruptured achilles.

84
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:21,600
Speaker 2: Good for him. Bradley Chubb is not yet back from

85
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 2: his acl that he suffered I think Christmas Eve, I

86
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 2: want to say, late last season, so he's still recovering

87
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 2: from that, so he won't play. And really the other

88
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:36,360
Speaker 2: pass rushers in the fold for them are Emmanuel Agba,

89
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 2: Chop Robinson, their top draft choice, and then a late

90
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 2: round draft choice Mohammed Kamara from Colorado State who had

91
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:49,160
Speaker 2: some good numbers in college. So we'll see what they

92
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 2: decide to do in terms of trying to get some

93
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 2: heat on Josh Allen on Thursday Night Football. Let's go

94
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:04,040
Speaker 2: around the NFL here as we bring you some late

95
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 2: breaking news just before we came on the air, and

96
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 2: this comes from the Pittsburgh Steelers as they are preparing

97
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 2: justin fields to start again this week in Week two,

98
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:16,600
Speaker 2: much like he did in Week one, while Russell Wilson

99
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 2: continues to nerve nurse a calf injury. Head coach Mike

100
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 2: Domlin said quote, I just visited with Russell. He feels

101
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 2: better today than he did over the weekend. What that means,

102
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 2: I don't know. If we sit here today, over the

103
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 2: course of the week, we'll examine whether he's capable of

104
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 2: protecting himself and being productive. But as I sit here today,

105
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 2: we're preparing as if Justin is going to be our quarterback.

106
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,919
Speaker 2: I think that's the appropriate way to do it. Speculation

107
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:41,600
Speaker 2: is a waste of time. Russell's hurt, He's not available

108
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:43,359
Speaker 2: to us, So I focus my energy on those that

109
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 2: are available and their readiness. There you go, end quote.

110
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:50,919
Speaker 2: I like guys that give it to you straight like that.

111
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:54,919
Speaker 1: Yes, Mike Tomlin.

112
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:59,160
Speaker 2: Speculation is a waste of time. Russell is hurt.

113
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 1: There you go shooting straight. He's got the longest rifle

114
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 1: there is for shooting straight. That guy does not waiver.

115
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 1: And that's why I appreciate him so much. He's listen,

116
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 1: I'm not here to speculate. We're gonna go with the

117
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 1: guys like we.

118
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:18,679
Speaker 2: Got guys hurt. One guy's healthy. We're getting him ready.

119
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 1: To We're getting him ready to play. Yeah, why why

120
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 1: mess with it? Uh, given some sort of huge information

121
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 1: to your opponent. I don't know. I don't buy that

122
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 1: a bit. Yeah, you know, go yes.

123
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:37,840
Speaker 2: Around the NFL. Incidentally brought to you by Killida Healthy,

124
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 2: Official healthcare system of the Buffalo Bills. Monday Night Football,

125
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 2: the forty nine Ers rumbled over the New York Jets

126
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 2: by a final of thirty two to nineteen. New York's

127
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 2: defense was no match for San Francisco's run game, even

128
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 2: with backup Jordan Mason in for an injured Christian McCaffrey,

129
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:55,240
Speaker 2: twenty eight carries one hundred and forty seven yards and

130
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 2: a touchdown in the victory. I would say the biggest

131
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 2: surprise for me, Steve, was so easily the forty nine

132
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 2: Ers just rolled up yardage on the Jets, seemingly at will.

133
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 2: Big gamers in the passing game, consistent chugs in the

134
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 2: run game. Niners rolled up four hundred and one yards

135
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 2: on the Jets defense. It was a clinic.

136
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 1: I'll say Bills fans can relate to this. To people

137
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 1: who watched the team really closely, the Jets looked like

138
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:22,760
Speaker 1: the Bills did against the Bears in the preseason first

139
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:28,239
Speaker 1: preseason game. Looked flat, looked like they were disinterested, looked

140
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 1: like they were rusty. All of that. Now, having said

141
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:34,559
Speaker 1: all that, as bad as it looked for the Jets,

142
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:37,600
Speaker 1: even on defense and stuff and offense. They sputtered as well.

143
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:39,720
Speaker 1: They looked like they hadn't practiced or had any live

144
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 1: game action, which they haven't. Having said all of that,

145
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 1: don't think the Jets are gonna go away. I mean

146
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 1: they're Rogers showed me too much the Jets defense as talents,

147
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:53,320
Speaker 1: and you know they're gonna pick it up. They had

148
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 1: the In my opinion, it was the hardest game for

149
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 1: any team in the league on opening weekend. It was

150
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:03,719
Speaker 1: harder than the Baltimore Ravens going into Kansas City on.

151
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 2: Thursday night the NFC Champions.

152
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:07,720
Speaker 1: You're playing the NFC Champions on the road in their

153
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:14,080
Speaker 1: joint and you've got you got to do it. They

154
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 1: were the hardest team. Niners looked as good as any

155
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 1: team in the league did last night. I don't think

156
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:22,480
Speaker 1: any team. I don't think the Kansas City Chiefs go

157
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 1: in there and look any better than the Jets did

158
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:28,440
Speaker 1: last night. The Niners hit on all cylinders. They looked

159
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:30,720
Speaker 1: like the Bills in twenty twenty one when they went

160
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:33,679
Speaker 1: out to LA and lumped up the Rams. That's what

161
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 1: it looked like. So you know, the Jets aren't going anywhere.

162
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:40,080
Speaker 1: They're gonna be fine. They're gonna win some games, they're

163
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:42,520
Speaker 1: gonna be tough to beat. But you know, last night

164
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:44,560
Speaker 1: was a wake up call, no question for them. We'll see,

165
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,280
Speaker 1: we'll see if they have to hit the snooze button

166
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 1: or where they get out of bed.

167
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:52,319
Speaker 2: Their schedule gets considerably easier the next several weeks. They

168
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 2: played Tennessee in Week two, that's on the road, then

169
00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 2: the Patriots and Broncos at home, followed by the Bills,

170
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:06,199
Speaker 2: so three or sorry Vikings than the Bills. So Patriots Broncos, Vikings,

171
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:10,679
Speaker 2: then the Bills, the Sam Donald Reunion Tour, with the

172
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:14,439
Speaker 2: Vikings going back to play the Jets in Minnesota.

173
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, so they got Yeah, that's a taste the schedule

174
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 1: we're looking for theirs obviously doesn't have the Niners on

175
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:26,200
Speaker 1: it for the Jets, so it's this point forward, Titans, Pats, Broncos, Vikings.

176
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:29,080
Speaker 2: So you're playing the second year quarterback in the Titans.

177
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 2: By week three, you might be playing rookie quarterback in

178
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 2: Drake May. By week four rookie quarterback Bo Nicks and

179
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 2: Sam Darnold with the Vikings defense.

180
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 1: Mind everybody what I said when we this schedule came out,

181
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 1: when the Bills play the Jets. The Jets are going

182
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:46,839
Speaker 1: to be the number one defense in the National Football League.

183
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 2: Okay, might be a little harder to do that now,

184
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:53,440
Speaker 2: but we'll see. They should be with the with the

185
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 2: what that slate looks like in front of them, now,

186
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:57,839
Speaker 2: they should get pretty telsey on the defense game.

187
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 1: It takes all two games, get right to the top. Yeah,

188
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:04,440
Speaker 1: I mean, that's what it's gonna take. The Patriots number

189
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 1: one now, the Patriots. Obviously, the Patriots surprised everybody who

190
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:11,520
Speaker 1: by beating the Cincinnati Bengals, and the jury is still out,

191
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 1: but you know, I don't think the Patriots an't gonna

192
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 1: ring them up offensively.

193
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 2: Probably not.

194
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:22,680
Speaker 1: They're gonna try. It might at best it's a slog fest. Yeah,

195
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:25,400
Speaker 1: so I'm yeah, the Jets are gonna be the number

196
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:27,200
Speaker 1: one defense in the league when they play on October

197
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:29,240
Speaker 1: twenty four. October fourteenth, the.

198
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 2: New York tabloids did not waste any time taking swings

199
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:39,320
Speaker 2: at the Jets. The New York Daily News perhaps with

200
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 2: the best back cover photo. It's a picture of Rogers,

201
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:48,440
Speaker 2: you know, looking slump shouldered, and the headline next to

202
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 2: him says, well you still have your Achilles and then

203
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 2: the subheader Jets take pounding from Niners, but at least

204
00:11:57,160 --> 00:12:01,960
Speaker 2: the QB is still in one piece. It's roughman New York.

205
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 2: There is never no rest for the weird.

206
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, they take a pounding over there when they don't

207
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:14,400
Speaker 1: play well well when they don't win. And you can

208
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 1: imagine how this loss went over New York because they

209
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 1: did look bad on both sides of the ball. San

210
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:24,600
Speaker 1: Francisco took it to him on offense, San Francisco took

211
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:26,959
Speaker 1: it to him on defense. I think the most disturbing

212
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:29,680
Speaker 1: thing was that Christian McCaffrey didn't play in this game.

213
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:33,679
Speaker 1: San Francisco's finger quotes best offensive weapon was out of

214
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:39,840
Speaker 1: the game. And as we've seen Kyle Shanahan do, he

215
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 1: just plugged in Jordan Mason, this guy who I didn't

216
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 1: even know, whoever, whoever Jordan Mason is that guy.

217
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:48,800
Speaker 2: I guess he's but on their roster because he's in

218
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 2: his third season. He goes, don't get to play a lof.

219
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:52,720
Speaker 1: He goes for a buck forty seven and a touchdown

220
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 1: on twenty eight carries. I mean, he looked awesome. So

221
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:00,400
Speaker 1: we've seen Kyle Shanahan do that with a lot of people.

222
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 1: He does it with Brock Purty every week for goodness sake,

223
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's yeah, it was bad for the Jets

224
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:11,440
Speaker 1: last night, But like I said, I'm not counting them

225
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 1: out at all.

226
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:12,200
Speaker 3: No.

227
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:15,840
Speaker 2: A new civil lawsuit filed in Houston on Monday accuses

228
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 2: Cleveland Browns quarterback to Sean Watson of sexual assault in

229
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 2: battery in October of twenty twenty, when he was still

230
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:24,000
Speaker 2: a member of the Texans. According to the lawsuit, the

231
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 2: alleged actions occurred before Watson and a woman who is

232
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 2: just going by Jane Doe and the court filing were

233
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:32,000
Speaker 2: set to have dinner at the women's apartment. I'm not

234
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 2: going to get into what was alleged because quite frankly,

235
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,280
Speaker 2: it's just a little too disturbing. I'm only going to

236
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:39,840
Speaker 2: say the allegations are consistent with the more than twenty

237
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 2: other lawsuits that were filed against him by women accusing

238
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:47,720
Speaker 2: him of sexual assault and inappropriate conduct. And look, I

239
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:51,200
Speaker 2: feel terrible for Bills fans, but it's hard for me

240
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 2: to feel bad for the Browns. They knew what they

241
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:56,400
Speaker 2: were signing up for with this guy and did it

242
00:13:56,440 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 2: anyway and guaranteed all of his money. There's a problem here.

243
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 2: And I know he went through the mandatory evaluation by

244
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:12,000
Speaker 2: behavioral experts and their treatment program and was reinstated by

245
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 2: the league. And you know, maybe he's on the straight

246
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:17,080
Speaker 2: and narrow now and if he is, good for him,

247
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 2: but it's just gonna follow him wherever he goes.

248
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's it's inescapable at this point, particularly in a

249
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 1: in a fish bowl like the NFL. He's just not

250
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 1: gonna be able to escape it. And it's you know,

251
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,760
Speaker 1: it's gonna And I'll say this too, I feel bad

252
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 1: for the for the Browns players as much as I

253
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 1: do for the fans. Now, those guys are sitting there

254
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 1: neck deep in distraction, and I mean they think about it.

255
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 1: He's got a lot of good men on that Browns

256
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 1: team who have to go home to their wives and

257
00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 1: kids and look them in the eye and explain why

258
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 1: they have to you know, well, they got to make

259
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:54,160
Speaker 1: nice with this guy.

260
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:57,240
Speaker 2: And on top of all of that, he's not even playing.

261
00:14:56,960 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 1: Good and he's and he's playing horrible. Yeah, it's it's yeah,

262
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:06,040
Speaker 1: you can I can have some empathy for the Browns fans,

263
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:08,840
Speaker 1: the Browns players as well, not for the organization though

264
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:13,920
Speaker 1: the front office that you asked for it. You literally

265
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 1: asked for this.

266
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:18,120
Speaker 2: It's gonna be interesting to see if this becomes a

267
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 2: fireable offense for anybody that was involved in that decision

268
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:24,640
Speaker 2: making to not only sign him, but to give away

269
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 2: three first round picks to Houston for him and then

270
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:30,440
Speaker 2: guarantee all two hundred and thirty million dollars of his contract.

271
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:32,880
Speaker 2: I mean, it's turn he's turned into an albatross. You

272
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 2: can't get rid of him. It's it's a mess.

273
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:39,800
Speaker 1: His salary, his cap hit is two hundred million.

274
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 2: Because it's all guaranteed.

275
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:43,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's.

276
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 2: Green Bay Packers do not plan to put quarterback Jordan

277
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:52,320
Speaker 2: Love on injured reserve, which means they think the recovery

278
00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 2: time from his sprained MCL knee injury will be on

279
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 2: the shorter end of the timeline. In the meantime, though,

280
00:15:57,840 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 2: they've got a big task ahead of him. Theyve got

281
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 2: to prepare Malik Willis to be their starting quarterback Sunday

282
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 2: against the Indianapolis coach They just traded for him on

283
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:08,680
Speaker 2: August twenty sixth. He's been there for twenty days.

284
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 1: This is not the preseason. This isn't you know this

285
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 1: isn't Danucci and Anthony and Brown for the Bills coming

286
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 1: in looking pretty good in a preseason game. This is real.

287
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:22,680
Speaker 1: I mean, they're gonna be trying to go at them.

288
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:26,360
Speaker 1: It's a big ask. It's a big ask.

289
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:31,120
Speaker 2: They're gonna have to just He's gonna have to just

290
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:33,400
Speaker 2: learn the game plan every week for the next several weeks.

291
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 2: He can't do much more than that.

292
00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:37,880
Speaker 1: Every team and the Bills fan we can relate to

293
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:42,240
Speaker 1: this to every team. There is no plan B. When

294
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 1: Jordan Love, when Josh Allen and Pat Mahomes, when Lamar Jackson,

295
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 1: Joe Burt, there is no plan B.

296
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 2: There's like no viable play.

297
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:53,640
Speaker 1: Let's just do what we can. Let's just see what

298
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 1: we got. And that's what Malik willis is, let's just

299
00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 1: see what we got. That's it. That's the plan.

300
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 2: So that is around the NFL, presented by kalide A

301
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:05,520
Speaker 2: Healthy Official healthcare system of the Buffalo Bills. We pivot

302
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:09,200
Speaker 2: now to coach McDermott's press conference, held just moments before

303
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:12,879
Speaker 2: practice today, as he provided an update on Josh Allen,

304
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:16,679
Speaker 2: Taron Johnson, and others. Here is Buffalo's head.

305
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:18,280
Speaker 4: Coach injury update.

306
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:25,800
Speaker 5: Nothing really changed since yesterday, So Tarn and Smoot will

307
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:30,080
Speaker 5: not practice. Javon Solomon, Tyd Johnson both limited, and.

308
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:31,480
Speaker 2: The rest will be full.

309
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 4: So with that all, I'll take questions.

310
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:40,560
Speaker 6: Yesterday just given that there are questions.

311
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:40,880
Speaker 7: About that hand.

312
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:43,159
Speaker 4: Yeah, he did well well and.

313
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:47,640
Speaker 5: We move forward to today and we'll see how today goes.

314
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:51,960
Speaker 8: Positility, do you guys know we're kind.

315
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:54,720
Speaker 5: Of seeing what the options are at this point and

316
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:56,320
Speaker 5: just trying to make the right decision here.

317
00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:58,880
Speaker 9: Did y'all Haveshaw's first time.

318
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:04,280
Speaker 8: Battel of Tyreek without your two longtime safeties. Obviously we've

319
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:08,200
Speaker 8: talked a lot about the safety position. What's your what's

320
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:10,399
Speaker 8: your viewpoint going into it against those two guys with

321
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:12,160
Speaker 8: with these with this group of safeties.

322
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:13,720
Speaker 4: Well, I'm confident.

323
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:18,200
Speaker 5: You know, those guys are great players, those two, those

324
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:20,680
Speaker 5: two receivers, I mean, they're unique in their skill set,

325
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:26,760
Speaker 5: extremely fast, great receivers, future Hall of famers. I mean

326
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:31,720
Speaker 5: that's they're tough to go against. And uh, you know,

327
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 5: I know we'll face face Jordan down there and excited

328
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:35,240
Speaker 5: for that.

329
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:37,400
Speaker 4: I know he's excited. I'm sure about that knowing him,

330
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:39,119
Speaker 4: and you know, what.

331
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:41,520
Speaker 5: A what a job he did for us both on

332
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:44,359
Speaker 5: the field off the field with his play, with his leadership,

333
00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:48,200
Speaker 5: and I mean I can remember him driving to I'll

334
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:50,359
Speaker 5: never forget him driving to Kansas City when he had

335
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 5: the the punctured lung, and.

336
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 4: I mean it's just a sign of who he is

337
00:18:57,680 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 4: and the type of competitor he is.

338
00:18:59,160 --> 00:18:59,439
Speaker 10: And so.

339
00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 5: We we certainly miss him and his family, but we also,

340
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 5: uh we pulled for him too, and you know he'd

341
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 5: be excited to be a good good night for us,

342
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:10,840
Speaker 5: some good competition there.

343
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:13,720
Speaker 11: With Austin shot.

344
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:16,200
Speaker 12: With the extension with Spencer Brown, could you just talk

345
00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:18,240
Speaker 12: a little bit about his growth and what you've seen

346
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:19,200
Speaker 12: from Spencer.

347
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:19,800
Speaker 1: Since he came in.

348
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:22,879
Speaker 4: Yeah, happy for for Spence.

349
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:25,720
Speaker 5: You know, he's worked hard, He's he's a guy that

350
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 5: has really grown through his years here and you watch

351
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:35,040
Speaker 5: his his uh his play and the way it's the

352
00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:38,680
Speaker 5: way it's developed over the years. And you know that

353
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 5: that position is hard to find, right tackle good tackles

354
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:46,680
Speaker 5: and and so I'm happy for for him and looking

355
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:50,040
Speaker 5: forward to him continue to grow as he moves forward here.

356
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:53,399
Speaker 3: I know he's one game with Spencer, but summer to

357
00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:55,920
Speaker 3: kind of evaluate him, what have you liked the most,

358
00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:57,400
Speaker 3: and where have you seen him grow the most?

359
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:03,160
Speaker 4: Spencer? Yeah, yeah, I mean I think you know, it's

360
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:05,439
Speaker 4: really it's really the.

361
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:13,040
Speaker 5: Natural growth cycle, development of a player that really becomes

362
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:17,520
Speaker 5: committed to his craft and and sometimes you know, it

363
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 5: just takes some time. And not with Spencer, but with

364
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:24,639
Speaker 5: all players. Right where you come in and NFL is

365
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:27,639
Speaker 5: different and you know you're you're competing at the highest

366
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:32,200
Speaker 5: level in the world, and and so you grow through

367
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:34,520
Speaker 5: that early on, and you grow through an understanding of

368
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:37,560
Speaker 5: what I need to the habits I need to develop

369
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:39,480
Speaker 5: into the player that I that I want to become

370
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:41,920
Speaker 5: and if I want to stay in the league number

371
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:44,240
Speaker 5: one and then to do with Spencer has now accomplished.

372
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:48,680
Speaker 5: So it's a great thing for him. It should be

373
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:50,160
Speaker 5: a good thing for our team as well.

374
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 4: And and you know he's earned it.

375
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:54,240
Speaker 8: I don't know things.

376
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 13: Easy on a short week, but how much does facing

377
00:20:56,480 --> 00:21:00,119
Speaker 13: an opponent divisional you're so familiar with maybe soften and

378
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:01,400
Speaker 13: the challenges that come.

379
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, we look, we have a ton of

380
00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:07,600
Speaker 5: respect for them, and they're well coached, very talented. Is

381
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:11,119
Speaker 5: you know salaed off with with the receivers and and

382
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:16,480
Speaker 5: it goes extends beyond beyond the two receivers, So it'll.

383
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:21,680
Speaker 4: Be a high level evening right there, and we're looking

384
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:22,240
Speaker 4: forward to it.

385
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:25,639
Speaker 5: They're very familiar with us, you know, we think we

386
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:30,480
Speaker 5: have some familiarity with them, but uh, you know, it's

387
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:33,720
Speaker 5: just two good teams going against each other, and we

388
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:34,399
Speaker 5: look forward to it.

389
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:35,400
Speaker 4: I'm sure they do as well.

390
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:37,320
Speaker 6: You see how practice goes today.

391
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:38,119
Speaker 14: Do with Josh?

392
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:40,280
Speaker 12: Is there anything specific you want to see him do

393
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:41,840
Speaker 12: out there? Do you know that he's comfortable with that

394
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:43,920
Speaker 12: hid or is it just going through his normal names?

395
00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:46,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, normal things, normal things.

396
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:48,800
Speaker 8: You I mean, obviously you won, so it worked. Were

397
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:52,000
Speaker 8: you happy with the run pass breakdown with with Joe

398
00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:53,760
Speaker 8: what Joe called the game because it was it was

399
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 8: definitely skewed towards the run game? Were you when you

400
00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:58,119
Speaker 8: look back at it, were you happy with how what

401
00:21:58,440 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 8: was beat it out agains?

402
00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:02,040
Speaker 1: Yeah?

403
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:04,600
Speaker 5: I mean, you know that we're always trying to tweak things.

404
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 5: We we look at things, you know, I'm sure those

405
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:12,359
Speaker 5: guys you get tired of me following up after games

406
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 5: and and things like that. You're always looking for for

407
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:19,399
Speaker 5: areas where we can move move forward and grow. And

408
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:24,040
Speaker 5: I thought Joe did a real nice job. And you know,

409
00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:26,159
Speaker 5: you look for the result, that's that's important thing, but

410
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 5: you're also looking for things we can we can do better,

411
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:31,560
Speaker 5: and starting with myself and and Joe's I know why

412
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:32,160
Speaker 5: the same way.

413
00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:34,879
Speaker 7: It might be similar to Spencer Brown as as you

414
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:39,000
Speaker 7: blessure was great, Russo and.

415
00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:41,680
Speaker 6: His development what gives you the confidence that he's going

416
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:44,000
Speaker 6: to be able to I mean, he's done the three

417
00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:47,320
Speaker 6: sacks every game over, probably not, but just to sustain

418
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:51,120
Speaker 6: his competitiveness and what he's what he showed.

419
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:55,119
Speaker 4: Suddenly, Yeah, so the question is him sustaining.

420
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:55,040
Speaker 8: That or.

421
00:22:57,680 --> 00:22:59,880
Speaker 7: That he's sustained at this time now that he's had.

422
00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:03,480
Speaker 5: This Yeah again growth, I mean, Greg is so conscientious.

423
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:07,240
Speaker 5: He's always been that way since we since we drafted him,

424
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:10,920
Speaker 5: and and I'm sure even before that, right, and he's

425
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:14,040
Speaker 5: he's a phenomenal person number one, and and a person

426
00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:19,000
Speaker 5: of high character, and you know, just you watch him

427
00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:21,399
Speaker 5: grow on the field, you watch him grow off the field,

428
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:26,119
Speaker 5: and the way he's developing on the field is impressive,

429
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:29,080
Speaker 5: and you know he's certainly off to a good start.

430
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:32,760
Speaker 5: But I think too, you've got to manage expectations right

431
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:34,199
Speaker 5: or to your point is, are you going to get

432
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:38,040
Speaker 5: three every week? I'm not a math major, but I

433
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:41,840
Speaker 5: think seventeen times three would be like a record maybe

434
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:47,320
Speaker 5: right so so, uh, but you know it's look, he's

435
00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:50,240
Speaker 5: gonna the game's gonna come to him at times like

436
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:52,720
Speaker 5: it did the other day. And then sometimes you know,

437
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:55,200
Speaker 5: you're gonna go up against some really good competition and

438
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:58,159
Speaker 5: they're gonna win some. So I think he's mature like that,

439
00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:00,840
Speaker 5: and he understands that, and he knows he's always trying

440
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:02,560
Speaker 5: to grow each and every week and improve.

441
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:03,959
Speaker 9: Sean Hobby's.

442
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:06,440
Speaker 1: Hobby talked yesterday about how much pride he was a

443
00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:09,040
Speaker 1: coaching staff, taking having guys like Cambi JaMarcus ready to

444
00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:11,439
Speaker 1: go even they're not get start or reps.

445
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:13,840
Speaker 2: What do you guys do here that you need that

446
00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:15,960
Speaker 2: makes you the coaching staff successful in that way?

447
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:19,360
Speaker 4: Well, I think it's really the whole building. I think

448
00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:20,280
Speaker 4: it's the coaching staff.

449
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:23,280
Speaker 5: To your point, I think it's, you know, the way

450
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 5: we develop the players, hopefully not just the player, but

451
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:32,520
Speaker 5: the person with our development staff, our medical and training staff,

452
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:35,320
Speaker 5: our strength and conditioning. I mean, and then you've got

453
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:37,760
Speaker 5: to have you got to have it the DNA too

454
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:41,880
Speaker 5: for us to develop it too. And so I mean

455
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:44,720
Speaker 5: something as simple as being coachable is huge. I know

456
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:49,560
Speaker 5: it sounds pretty basic and not maybe sexy in this case,

457
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 5: but if one isn't coachable and they think they know

458
00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:57,400
Speaker 5: it all, that's hard to break through. And so sometimes

459
00:24:57,480 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 5: a player starts that way, but we're able to get

460
00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:00,320
Speaker 5: through to him.

461
00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:03,200
Speaker 4: And other times, you know, it's just not able to

462
00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:05,160
Speaker 4: move the needle the way you want to. So guys

463
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:06,280
Speaker 4: like Cam love it.

464
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:09,000
Speaker 5: You know, the other night we had two other day

465
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:12,439
Speaker 5: we had two UB players out there playing for us

466
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:14,200
Speaker 5: and playing a lot of reps and making some huge

467
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 5: plays for us.

468
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:15,840
Speaker 4: And I love that piece.

469
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 5: Also, you know, having a guy like Joe Andreson on

470
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:22,240
Speaker 5: our team, I love that, right, And that was not

471
00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:24,920
Speaker 5: that was not handed to Joe. Joe earned that, and

472
00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:29,359
Speaker 5: so I mean it's just really cool, really you know

473
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:33,720
Speaker 5: how how this thing works, right, and uh, it's not

474
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:36,720
Speaker 5: just because of one person or one department, but it's

475
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:37,920
Speaker 5: it's all of us working together.

476
00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:42,320
Speaker 12: Confidence and has not waiver even though maybe for some

477
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:45,040
Speaker 12: fans a question, but you've been stepfast and that how

478
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:46,920
Speaker 12: big and important was it for him personally and the

479
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:49,520
Speaker 12: team to have the game he did kicking extra points,

480
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:50,280
Speaker 12: a field goals.

481
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:52,960
Speaker 5: Something, Yeah, those I mean that kick, that last kick

482
00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:57,800
Speaker 5: there was huge, I mean into the wind, not even

483
00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:00,520
Speaker 5: really a straight direct win, but win.

484
00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:02,359
Speaker 4: That was going you know, a little bit to the.

485
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:05,200
Speaker 5: Side, and I thought, I think he's really striking the

486
00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:07,920
Speaker 5: ball well as it relates to field goals and extra

487
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:08,480
Speaker 5: points and.

488
00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:12,440
Speaker 4: You know, so that's that's big. And now that the

489
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:14,000
Speaker 4: other added dimension now.

490
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:17,159
Speaker 5: Is this kickoff, right, So you know, we've got to

491
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:19,639
Speaker 5: continue to work there and I'm excited to see how

492
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:22,200
Speaker 5: we'll grow through the year with that as well.

493
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:25,480
Speaker 7: What's the challenge and the way to operate that offense?

494
00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:29,800
Speaker 5: Well, I think their whole offense is a is a

495
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:34,000
Speaker 5: challenge led by him and and I think Mike McDaniel

496
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:38,560
Speaker 5: does a phenomenal job, you know, just as a as

497
00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:40,840
Speaker 5: a head coach, but also as an offensive play color

498
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:46,080
Speaker 5: and designer of plays. So, I mean, they got tremendous,

499
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:50,040
Speaker 5: tremendous speed. I mean it's unlike I've ever seen and

500
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:53,880
Speaker 5: not just this year, but in years past. So they're

501
00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:57,200
Speaker 5: tremendously talented and fast. And I mean you saw the

502
00:26:57,240 --> 00:27:01,159
Speaker 5: game the other the other day. I mean if if

503
00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:03,359
Speaker 5: you don't get near them, they're they're gone, right, So

504
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:05,639
Speaker 5: even when you get near them, they pull away, So.

505
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:07,840
Speaker 14: You know.

506
00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:10,720
Speaker 4: They're they're really talented.

507
00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:15,960
Speaker 3: Heavy work for Jones and Oliver and the opener. What

508
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:18,320
Speaker 3: do you need to see from Austin Johnson and Dwayne

509
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:21,080
Speaker 3: Carter to kind of, you know, let their their role row.

510
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:21,320
Speaker 15: A little bit?

511
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:24,119
Speaker 5: Yeah, and that that'll be important for for us. You know,

512
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:27,440
Speaker 5: Matt as as a as a team is, is those

513
00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:29,600
Speaker 5: those two in their growth. I thought they came in

514
00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:32,520
Speaker 5: and did some good things and their limited time albeit,

515
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 5: but they'll continue to grow.

516
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:35,680
Speaker 4: I'm confident in that.

517
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:38,359
Speaker 5: And you know, you got you got Austin who's a VET,

518
00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:41,200
Speaker 5: and you've got d C who's a younger player, and

519
00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:44,600
Speaker 5: but they're both kind of playing in that in that

520
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:49,520
Speaker 5: in those primary backup roles, right, So their development will

521
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:52,280
Speaker 5: be huge. Austin learning how you know, we like our

522
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:55,320
Speaker 5: guys to play and and getting really comfortable and playing

523
00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:58,160
Speaker 5: free with that, and then and then d C really

524
00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:02,080
Speaker 5: taking his game. Like it was asked about Greg and Spencer.

525
00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:04,720
Speaker 5: You know, first year in the NFL, is there's a

526
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:06,560
Speaker 5: lot thrown at you. And if he can just kind

527
00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:09,720
Speaker 5: of continue to edit and block some of that noise

528
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:11,560
Speaker 5: out and just focus on getting better every day.

529
00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:12,320
Speaker 4: He'll be just fine.

530
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:14,280
Speaker 1: He played four players all the time.

531
00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:17,040
Speaker 13: But how much more about competitive issue is that against Jordan,

532
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:18,840
Speaker 13: not only because of the number of years he was here,

533
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 13: but el central he played for your defense.

534
00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:24,240
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, I mean he knows. He knows so much

535
00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:26,360
Speaker 5: of what we do, right, he knows. I mean, he's

536
00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 5: got the playbook right.

537
00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:32,879
Speaker 4: So, you know, I don't know what to tell you.

538
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:34,399
Speaker 5: Maybe I should have tried to get that from him

539
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:35,119
Speaker 5: before he left here.

540
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:37,200
Speaker 4: I don't know, but I think he had seven years

541
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:38,719
Speaker 4: that it head start on me with that or eight

542
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:41,600
Speaker 4: or I guess it was seven. So again, I can't

543
00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:43,800
Speaker 4: say enough good things about Jordan. I love him.

544
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:47,240
Speaker 5: I know we're playing against each other. I'm coaching against

545
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:50,479
Speaker 5: him this week and just want the best for him

546
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:52,960
Speaker 5: and his family always. And you know Micah too. Let's

547
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:55,400
Speaker 5: not forget Mike and what he did was mentioned earlier

548
00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:57,680
Speaker 5: on those guys. All when I think of one, I

549
00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:01,320
Speaker 5: automatically think of the other. So those guys were instrumental

550
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:05,000
Speaker 5: and moving to this place where it's where it's gotten

551
00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:06,160
Speaker 5: to over the last seven years.

552
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:09,800
Speaker 6: Leading your team in targets and receptions.

553
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:12,840
Speaker 7: What allowed you the confidence to use him that.

554
00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:13,800
Speaker 6: Much in week number one?

555
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:16,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, uh, some of it's, you know, just

556
00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:19,160
Speaker 4: game plan. Some of it's how the game was flowing.

557
00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:22,520
Speaker 5: You know, probably a more specific question for Joe really,

558
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:26,160
Speaker 5: but you know, and then two, I thought Josh did

559
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:29,880
Speaker 5: a phenomenal job of you know, going through his progression,

560
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:30,600
Speaker 5: going through.

561
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:33,360
Speaker 4: His reads and and and going where he needed to

562
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:34,560
Speaker 4: go to the open receiver.

563
00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:36,720
Speaker 5: And I think that was some of it too, of

564
00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:41,280
Speaker 5: just the ball naturally finding Keon when Josh was going

565
00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:45,520
Speaker 5: through his progressions and in proper order there. So that's

566
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:48,200
Speaker 5: that's good football. And happy to get Keon off to

567
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:50,880
Speaker 5: a good start there and in a rhythm here. Coach,

568
00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:53,240
Speaker 5: what explanation do you give for having such success against

569
00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:54,400
Speaker 5: Miami of league?

570
00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:58,080
Speaker 4: We just tried and try and do our thing, you know.

571
00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:01,040
Speaker 5: I mean it's there's teams we we've had success a

572
00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:03,440
Speaker 5: answers teams we haven't, and we just try and take

573
00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:05,800
Speaker 5: them one at a time, and you know, those that

574
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:08,280
Speaker 5: game will those games won't affect this game at all,

575
00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:10,120
Speaker 5: all right.

576
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:12,760
Speaker 2: That's head coach Sean McDermott. Biggest news coming from him

577
00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:16,960
Speaker 2: is he was asked, is I are a consideration for

578
00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:21,400
Speaker 2: Tarren Johnson and he did not say no. He said,

579
00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:24,160
Speaker 2: we're seeing what the options are so we can make

580
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:27,160
Speaker 2: the best decision. So we'll have to see what that

581
00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:32,120
Speaker 2: decision ultimately is. I would imagine Steve, if it's like

582
00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:37,960
Speaker 2: a three to four week injury, you'd probably put him

583
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:40,719
Speaker 2: on IR sooner rather than later if you think it's

584
00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:42,680
Speaker 2: going to be four weeks to get him credit for

585
00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:46,160
Speaker 2: this week as the first week, you know what I mean,

586
00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:49,400
Speaker 2: because he's pretty much this whole. But we'll see, we'll

587
00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:50,280
Speaker 2: see what the decision is.

588
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:55,560
Speaker 1: Obviously there's some stuff they either don't know or they're

589
00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:58,360
Speaker 1: trying to Still they're giving him a chance to fight

590
00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:00,040
Speaker 1: out of it quicker, you know what I mean, And

591
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:05,880
Speaker 1: so either not quite sure exactly how severe the injury is,

592
00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:08,960
Speaker 1: how much it's going to limit him if he tries

593
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:12,600
Speaker 1: to play through it. Yeah, and all of that stuff.

594
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:17,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, Josha, according to coach McDermott, did well in practice

595
00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:19,960
Speaker 2: yesterday with the left hand injury he suffered in the

596
00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:22,960
Speaker 2: game that, by the way, has been cleared medically for

597
00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:25,720
Speaker 2: practice and the game, so he's going to play. But

598
00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:28,840
Speaker 2: he was asked questions about how he's dealing with it

599
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:31,400
Speaker 2: going through practice, and coach said he did well, and

600
00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:33,440
Speaker 2: we'll move on to today and see what today holds.

601
00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:36,400

Speaker 2: what that problem is. We'll have a solution for you

624
00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:54,520
Speaker 2: at eight oh three, oh five fifty. But let's go

625
00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:57,240
Speaker 2: to the phones. And leading us off today is Judy

626
00:32:57,280 --> 00:32:57,760
Speaker 2: and Buffalo.

627
00:32:57,840 --> 00:32:58,360
Speaker 1: What do you have for us?

628
00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:01,560
Speaker 9: Judy, Well, you know, I think.

629
00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:05,240
Speaker 15: We need a reality check here. I'm records saying we

630
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:07,720
Speaker 15: need to go four and two in the first six games,

631
00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:11,840
Speaker 15: and to those wins I thought would be with Arizona

632
00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:17,360
Speaker 15: and Miami. Okay, now I'm looking at what we did

633
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:22,920
Speaker 15: with Arizona. I can't believe it. Somehow this team let

634
00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:27,760
Speaker 15: the Gregs of the league get up seventeen to three. Okay.

635
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:31,680
Speaker 15: Then all of a sudden we started to score some points,

636
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:37,120
Speaker 15: which I can expect. But then we let a special

637
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:38,200
Speaker 15: team's touchdown.

638
00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:39,240
Speaker 16: Okay.

639
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:45,640
Speaker 15: Then we came within one play of another Murray miracle,

640
00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:48,800
Speaker 15: and we would now be talking about a loss in

641
00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:52,600
Speaker 15: the first game. I'm beginning to wonder if this coaching

642
00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:58,560
Speaker 15: staff is up to what we need to do in

643
00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:03,840
Speaker 15: these games. You know, it's all we're talking about MVP Josh.

644
00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:07,760
Speaker 15: I've been for that for three years. Without him, we

645
00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:11,480
Speaker 15: would be nothing. It's about time we need a reality

646
00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:12,520
Speaker 15: check on this team.

647
00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:17,840
Speaker 2: All right, Judy, You're entitled to your opinion there. I've

648
00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:22,319
Speaker 2: kind of chalked up some of the hiccups to Week one,

649
00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:26,840
Speaker 2: which a lot of teams experienced. Miami didn't play that

650
00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:29,279
Speaker 2: great a first half either against Jacksonville. They were down

651
00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:32,960
Speaker 2: by the same score, seventeen to three. And Jacksonville is

652
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:35,000
Speaker 2: a team that didn't make the playoffs last year either,

653
00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:38,400
Speaker 2: And there were other teams around the league. Chicago won

654
00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:42,799
Speaker 2: a football game without even scoring an offensive touchdown. Now,

655
00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:44,759
Speaker 2: granted they have a rookie quarterback, it's a little bit

656
00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:48,799
Speaker 2: different situation. But my point is week one, there are

657
00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:51,760
Speaker 2: gonna be some hiccups. The Bills didn't play their starters

658
00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:55,680
Speaker 2: a ton in the preseason, live game reps, not a

659
00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:58,720
Speaker 2: lot to hang their hat on, so they were probably

660
00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:00,560
Speaker 2: gonna be a little slow coming at the gate. But

661
00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:03,800
Speaker 2: I mean, you want to talk about the coaches. The

662
00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:07,640
Speaker 2: defense gave up three points in the second half for

663
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:10,360
Speaker 2: all intents and purposes. The only touchdown that got scored

664
00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:13,200
Speaker 2: was on special teams by the Arizona Cardinals. And yes,

665
00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:15,880
Speaker 2: that is a concern that's got to get buttoned up.

666
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:20,000
Speaker 2: But your kickers kicking better. Looks to have his swing back,

667
00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:24,000
Speaker 2: so that's a positive. And the offense scored thirty four

668
00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:26,600
Speaker 2: points in Week one with four new receivers in their

669
00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:30,680
Speaker 2: receiving corp uh, and the run game looked healthy. It

670
00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:34,279
Speaker 2: wasn't consistent from start to finish, but the holes that

671
00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:36,600
Speaker 2: were opened early in the run game were pretty encouraging.

672
00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:41,719
Speaker 2: And I'll just say this, the Bills have never had

673
00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:45,680
Speaker 2: a problem scoring points on the Dolphins ever, right in

674
00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:46,680
Speaker 2: the Josh Allen era.

675
00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:48,880
Speaker 1: So there's a couple of things in there. And I

676
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:52,240
Speaker 1: think Judy makes to me is she's making a mistake

677
00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:55,320
Speaker 1: that a lot of fans make. They're blaming the coaching

678
00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:57,279
Speaker 1: staff for this, and they're chan't blaming them for that,

679
00:35:57,480 --> 00:36:03,400
Speaker 1: and it ain't The players are accountable. You can't blame

680
00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:07,839
Speaker 1: Joe Brady for Josh getting sacked from behind and sack

681
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:10,719
Speaker 1: strip fumble and taking him off the field. That's a

682
00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:13,600
Speaker 1: player issue, not a coaching issue. They had a hat

683
00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:15,719
Speaker 1: on a hat you gotta have got. You had your

684
00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:18,319
Speaker 1: left tackle over there who got beat late, and your

685
00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:21,320
Speaker 1: quarterback who jumped around and nope and was trying to

686
00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:24,160
Speaker 1: find somebody open who was not getting shaken loose, and

687
00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:28,560
Speaker 1: you didn't get any separation in the secondary. You got sack, strip, fumble,

688
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:30,920
Speaker 1: and people are up in arms over the coaching staff.

689
00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:35,279
Speaker 1: Not scoring point. They were ripping the Arizona Cardinals every

690
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:37,560
Speaker 1: time they had the ball. They were moving up and

691
00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:40,240
Speaker 1: down the field. It was a It was an absolute

692
00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:43,279
Speaker 1: clinic offensively for the Bills in the first half of

693
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:45,600
Speaker 1: that game. Now you can say you're right, in the

694
00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:47,719
Speaker 1: first half of the game defensively wasn't that good. But

695
00:36:48,239 --> 00:36:50,040
Speaker 1: the coaching staff came out in the second half and

696
00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:52,880
Speaker 1: held them to three points by making some pretty tangible

697
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:57,840
Speaker 1: and easily observable adjustments. They coached them up and fixed

698
00:36:57,880 --> 00:37:01,280
Speaker 1: it quick. And that's what the coaching staff is supposed

699
00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:05,240
Speaker 1: to do. If you think at this level, a coaching

700
00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:07,800
Speaker 1: staff is responsible for getting those guys up there and

701
00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:11,320
Speaker 1: pumping them up, pumping their tires and getting them enthusiastic

702
00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:13,640
Speaker 1: to play in this game and getting them to engage.

703
00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:17,160
Speaker 1: You got the wrong players in this day and age.

704
00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:20,080
Speaker 1: The players are motivated to play because they got their

705
00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:23,120
Speaker 1: own whatever reason they want to conjure up. This isn't

706
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:27,279
Speaker 1: nineteen fifty two New Rockney Notre Dame, where you'll go

707
00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:30,160
Speaker 1: out to win one for the gipper that does not fly.

708
00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:36,239
Speaker 1: That's a pipe dream. That's ridiculous. You're a professional football player.

709
00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:38,680
Speaker 1: If you walk down the tunnel in the stadium with

710
00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:41,960
Speaker 1: eighty or seventy two thousand people screaming for you and

711
00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:45,040
Speaker 1: you don't get enthusia about playing, you have no pulse.

712
00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:48,719
Speaker 1: So the coaching staff in this in this game, are

713
00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:51,600
Speaker 1: the guys that want it for this team, and you

714
00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:54,680
Speaker 1: can Yeah, Josh is a superstar. Absolutely, he's a go.

715
00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:58,120
Speaker 1: He's an absolute unicorn. He took that game over at

716
00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:00,400
Speaker 1: certain parts of it. But the coaching staff on the

717
00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:03,520
Speaker 1: other side, the defensive guys and Joe Brady's game plan.

718
00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:05,640
Speaker 1: They ran the ball seventy five percent of the time

719
00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:10,080
Speaker 1: on first down and were ripping the Arizona Cardinals, ripping them.

720
00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:14,520
Speaker 1: They scored thirty four points and had a sack strip

721
00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:17,239
Speaker 1: fumble that took points off the board for him right.

722
00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:18,440
Speaker 2: There, along with a penalty.

723
00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:21,160
Speaker 1: Along with a cheap penalty on Kyler Murray. That gave

724
00:38:21,239 --> 00:38:28,239
Speaker 1: those guys four points. So come on, wake up, wake up. Yeah,

725
00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:31,399
Speaker 1: the special teams thing right after the bills, finally after

726
00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:36,839
Speaker 1: digging after stop, they stopped digging themselves a hole. They

727
00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:39,640
Speaker 1: got back on top of them, scored twenty one unanswered

728
00:38:39,719 --> 00:38:42,279
Speaker 1: points between the second and fourth to eleven. They were

729
00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:45,480
Speaker 1: up eleven, and then the special teams go out there

730
00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:53,239
Speaker 1: and absolutely fall down. That's that's the one thing that

731
00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:55,920
Speaker 1: you can say, hey, that that was a problem. That's

732
00:38:55,960 --> 00:39:01,080
Speaker 1: a problem. That's a real problem up until then, even

733
00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:04,279
Speaker 1: going down seventeen to three, that was because of the

734
00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:06,839
Speaker 1: one turnover that's not a coaching thing. That's a sack

735
00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:08,880
Speaker 1: strip fumble takes you out a field goal range. It

736
00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:11,480
Speaker 1: would have been seven to six at that point. And

737
00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:16,080
Speaker 1: even if they go down score again, yeah, you take it.

738
00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:19,800
Speaker 1: Just chill out. The players are the guys responsible for

739
00:39:19,840 --> 00:39:24,879
Speaker 1: what happens between the lines emotionally and execution wise. When

740
00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:26,840
Speaker 1: you go out there and and do some of the

741
00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:30,279
Speaker 1: stuff that happened in this game. You know, if you

742
00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:33,120
Speaker 1: look at what happened, x's and o's wise and tactics wise,

743
00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:36,400
Speaker 1: coaching staff was all over this one. I mean they

744
00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:41,799
Speaker 1: got it. Yeah, they out coached the Arizona Cardinals. Absolutely.

745
00:39:42,160 --> 00:39:45,359
Speaker 1: So that's where I'm at in your reality check.

746
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:48,120
Speaker 2: Let's jump back on the phone lines. We go to

747
00:39:48,200 --> 00:39:49,879
Speaker 2: Mark in Hamilton. What's up, Mark?

748
00:39:50,760 --> 00:39:54,360

749
00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:58,560

00:39:58,600 --> 00:40:02,719
Speaker 9: Sure what, Well I got I'm in a good situation.

751
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:07,880
Speaker 9: I don't watch the NBA, I don't watch Major League Baseball,

752
00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:11,960
Speaker 9: I don't watch hockey. So come to weekends, college football

753
00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:15,720
Speaker 9: and the NFL I get to watch. I get left alone.

754
00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:19,960
Speaker 9: I picked my games and everything's sweet. My wife sometimes

755
00:40:20,040 --> 00:40:22,560
Speaker 9: comes down and assists with me, but she does her

756
00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:25,359
Speaker 9: own thing, and I get to watch my football and it's, uh,

757

Speaker 2: them the secret sauce.

762
00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:38,440
Speaker 1: Why did you call the hotline?

763
00:40:40,040 --> 00:40:42,359
Speaker 9: Because it was fought relationships and I wanted to say

764
00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:43,319
Speaker 9: I had a positive one.

765
00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:46,120

777
00:41:13,719 --> 00:41:17,440
Speaker 16: individual and you know, play for your own pride, and

778
00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:21,680
Speaker 16: nobody can infuse that into you, no coach screaming in

779
00:41:21,800 --> 00:41:24,359
Speaker 16: your face. Like if you're a boxer, the only person

780
00:41:24,440 --> 00:41:26,320
Speaker 16: that's going to go out in that ring and help you,

781
00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:30,000
Speaker 16: you don't want them to help you because that means

782
00:41:30,080 --> 00:41:32,799
Speaker 16: the fight's over and you lost because your corner's throwing

783
00:41:32,840 --> 00:41:35,120
Speaker 16: in the towel, the ref stopping the fight. That's it.

784
00:41:36,360 --> 00:41:39,040
Speaker 16: And the only person that can help you ultimately is yourself.

785
00:41:39,520 --> 00:41:42,359
Speaker 16: Then that's that's the way sports are. I think people

786
00:41:42,480 --> 00:41:46,080
Speaker 16: get desensitized by movies and stuff. They see these and

787
00:41:46,320 --> 00:41:49,640
Speaker 16: battled and passioned speeches and it's like crazy. But anyway,

788
00:41:49,719 --> 00:41:52,640
Speaker 16: to my point, Mike White spent two off seasons in

789
00:41:52,680 --> 00:41:54,640
Speaker 16: a whole season with the Dolphins I think he's going

790
00:41:54,719 --> 00:41:56,640
Speaker 16: to be just as good a source of intel for

791
00:41:56,719 --> 00:41:58,600
Speaker 16: the Bills on a short week as Poyer is going

792
00:41:58,680 --> 00:42:02,439
Speaker 16: to be for them. I thought about that, and they're

793
00:42:02,560 --> 00:42:05,640
Speaker 16: missing some guys, I mean key guys, and most are

794
00:42:06,840 --> 00:42:08,600
Speaker 16: gave the Bills some problems the last few times they

795
00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:10,400
Speaker 16: played him. I think he ripped off like a seventy

796
00:42:10,520 --> 00:42:14,000
Speaker 16: yarder in the end of the regular season game in

797
00:42:14,040 --> 00:42:17,480
Speaker 16: twenty two, I believe, and he's done some good, but

798
00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:20,000
Speaker 16: he's dinged up. Chan got dinged up, and they got

799
00:42:20,120 --> 00:42:22,759
Speaker 16: gashed on defense. I don't know why they went away

800
00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:25,960
Speaker 16: from it. I know Peterson made some weird fourth down

801
00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:29,279
Speaker 16: call in that game. And Lawrence, I don't know, he

802
00:42:29,440 --> 00:42:31,480
Speaker 16: just looks like he's in a Malay's He just looks.

803
00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:34,640
Speaker 16: I don't know, he's just guy kind of peaked early

804
00:42:34,719 --> 00:42:36,840
Speaker 16: and he's just kind of sitting there. He's like in

805
00:42:36,880 --> 00:42:39,560
Speaker 16: an idle position. He's never taken that next next step

806
00:42:39,600 --> 00:42:42,640
Speaker 16: everybody thought he was going to. I wasn't terribly impressed

807
00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:45,040
Speaker 16: with him, and like I said yesterday, outside of those

808
00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:48,680
Speaker 16: two big long passes, the Dolphins offense was not that impressive.

809
00:42:50,160 --> 00:42:52,600
Speaker 16: It wasn't It wasn't like, oh, my god in Tua.

810
00:42:52,680 --> 00:42:55,360
Speaker 16: So we've seen this guy so many times. He is

811
00:42:55,520 --> 00:42:59,000
Speaker 16: what he is one read to. Then he turns into

812
00:42:59,080 --> 00:43:03,480
Speaker 16: the turtle. Sit, put your hands up. It's they're playing

813
00:43:03,600 --> 00:43:06,680
Speaker 16: Kyler Murray without the mobility, and Murray has a better

814
00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:08,960
Speaker 16: arm than to a Thanks for thinking my call, guys.

815
00:43:09,080 --> 00:43:13,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, sure thing. Yeah, I'm I'm trying to gauge how

816
00:43:13,840 --> 00:43:17,880
Speaker 2: realistic the intel thing is. Uh, because from because Poyer

817
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:20,840
Speaker 2: was actually asked about that by the Miami media and

818
00:43:20,960 --> 00:43:22,640
Speaker 2: he said, it doesn't matter what I know, they're going

819
00:43:22,719 --> 00:43:25,640
Speaker 2: to change the names of all that stuff anyway. He goes,

820
00:43:26,800 --> 00:43:28,400
Speaker 2: you know, if they're doing their homework, they're going to

821
00:43:28,520 --> 00:43:30,960
Speaker 2: change the language for all of your stuff I know

822
00:43:31,640 --> 00:43:32,320
Speaker 2: from Buffalo.

823
00:43:32,920 --> 00:43:35,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's not so much. Yeah, the language is

824
00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:39,040
Speaker 1: him being able to tell them exactly what's what's coming

825
00:43:39,320 --> 00:43:44,480
Speaker 1: is one thing. The best source of intel they could

826
00:43:44,480 --> 00:43:47,840
Speaker 1: probably give you is what they think about you, Like

827
00:43:48,239 --> 00:43:50,839
Speaker 1: we were. They were really worried about Kincaid last year.

828
00:43:50,880 --> 00:43:54,799
Speaker 1: They were really worried about Diggs last year. Well, if

829
00:43:54,840 --> 00:43:57,279
Speaker 1: you have half a brain, you know that. Yeah. So

830
00:43:58,680 --> 00:44:01,600
Speaker 1: they there's some things Poyer could probably tell about the

831
00:44:01,719 --> 00:44:04,480
Speaker 1: specific game plans of the games and why they did

832
00:44:04,560 --> 00:44:07,720
Speaker 1: this and that which would give the Miami coaching staff

833
00:44:07,800 --> 00:44:10,840
Speaker 1: some insight is to the mindset of the Bills coaching staff.

834
00:44:11,080 --> 00:44:14,319
Speaker 1: That may help. But Mike White, and it's interesting because

835
00:44:14,320 --> 00:44:17,280
Speaker 1: that's just the defensive side for Poyer and for the Bills.

836
00:44:18,760 --> 00:44:21,360
Speaker 1: Mike White could give you some offensive stuff. And you know,

837
00:44:21,440 --> 00:44:23,480
Speaker 1: you put Mike White in the Bill's defensive room and

838
00:44:23,520 --> 00:44:25,200
Speaker 1: he'll say, well, here's what they think and here's what's

839
00:44:25,200 --> 00:44:28,799
Speaker 1: going to happen, and basically what that is. That's kind

840
00:44:28,840 --> 00:44:32,160
Speaker 1: of worthless too, because you get a whole different secondary. Now,

841
00:44:32,480 --> 00:44:35,880
Speaker 1: the Bill's philosophies probably changed a little bit defensively, and

842
00:44:37,680 --> 00:44:41,279
Speaker 1: they're just the Dolphins are gonna come out and attack

843
00:44:41,320 --> 00:44:44,440
Speaker 1: however they want to attack. They got Tyreek and Jalen Waddle.

844
00:44:45,400 --> 00:44:47,680
Speaker 1: Now White could give you some insight as to how

845
00:44:48,200 --> 00:44:51,680
Speaker 1: Mike McDaniel thinks and what their strategies are or have been,

846
00:44:51,800 --> 00:44:53,839
Speaker 1: or he go back and look at another film say oh, yeah,

847
00:44:54,040 --> 00:44:56,600
Speaker 1: we did this because we thought this about you. That

848
00:44:56,760 --> 00:45:00,640
Speaker 1: kind of stuff, and some of that may translate. So yeah,

849
00:45:00,800 --> 00:45:04,120
Speaker 1: and you can bet that those avenues have been explored

850
00:45:04,160 --> 00:45:08,680
Speaker 1: by both teams. But it's not gonna be the this

851
00:45:09,120 --> 00:45:14,800
Speaker 1: some sort of transformational secret weapon that's gonna make a

852
00:45:14,840 --> 00:45:16,839
Speaker 1: difference in the game, because, like you said, it's still

853
00:45:16,920 --> 00:45:19,440
Speaker 1: to a tongue of Iloa Tyreek and Jalen Waddle and

854
00:45:19,560 --> 00:45:22,560
Speaker 1: it's and it's Josh and a bunch of guys now

855
00:45:22,640 --> 00:45:27,160
Speaker 1: that Miami hasn't seen very much of Kinkaid and Shakir. Yeah, okay,

856
00:45:28,239 --> 00:45:30,480
Speaker 1: but Samuel and Keon Coleman.

857
00:45:30,600 --> 00:45:33,880
Speaker 2: Not so much break time for us here. When we

858
00:45:34,040 --> 00:45:36,480
Speaker 2: come back, we'll take more of your phone calls. We'll

859
00:45:36,520 --> 00:45:39,920
Speaker 2: also let you know what the mindset for Thursday's game is.

860
00:45:40,040 --> 00:45:42,080
Speaker 2: We'll get to that when we return here. On One

861
00:45:42,120 --> 00:45:44,839
Speaker 2: Bill's Live presented by Colida Health, It's Buffalo Bill's radio

862
00:45:59,360 --> 00:46:02,840
Speaker 2: time out for Game day Mentality, presented by Best Self

863
00:46:03,120 --> 00:46:06,680
Speaker 2: Best Self Behavioral Health, the official mental health partner of

864
00:46:06,760 --> 00:46:10,520
Speaker 2: the Buffalo Bills, And for the players this week, it's

865
00:46:10,560 --> 00:46:13,040
Speaker 2: gonna be the mindset they need to play on a

866
00:46:13,280 --> 00:46:16,719
Speaker 2: short week. Steve, what does the mental approach have to

867
00:46:16,800 --> 00:46:21,080
Speaker 2: be this week? Knowing their bodies probably aren't feeling ideal

868
00:46:21,160 --> 00:46:22,560
Speaker 2: for the start of this football.

869
00:46:22,200 --> 00:46:25,480
Speaker 1: You gotta put some extra effort into getting ready. Rest

870
00:46:26,440 --> 00:46:29,080
Speaker 1: is paramount. You gotta get some rest. And this is

871
00:46:29,160 --> 00:46:31,760
Speaker 1: where like a veteran when I was, when I played

872
00:46:31,840 --> 00:46:34,399
Speaker 1: for a while, and other veteran guys got to help

873
00:46:34,440 --> 00:46:36,960
Speaker 1: the younger guys. Now, younger guys don't need it as badly,

874
00:46:37,800 --> 00:46:40,120
Speaker 1: but you need but you need rest. And you also

875
00:46:41,280 --> 00:46:44,680
Speaker 1: it's not a normal week, so the heightened attention you

876
00:46:44,800 --> 00:46:49,280
Speaker 1: have to your job gets put at a higher priority.

877
00:46:49,360 --> 00:46:51,399
Speaker 1: Even when it comes to your wife and your kids,

878
00:46:51,480 --> 00:46:54,839
Speaker 1: your mom, your dad, whoever your support system is, they

879
00:46:54,920 --> 00:46:56,439
Speaker 1: got to be on board with you and say, Okay,

880
00:46:56,760 --> 00:46:58,920
Speaker 1: you know, be at the stadium, Go ahead, go do that,

881
00:46:59,120 --> 00:47:01,880
Speaker 1: stay up late. Yeah, we don't have to take the

882
00:47:01,920 --> 00:47:05,040
Speaker 1: trash out this week, don't you know that kind of thing? Right,

883
00:47:05,640 --> 00:47:10,560
Speaker 1: Go get treatment. You need your support staff, meaning your

884
00:47:10,560 --> 00:47:12,600
Speaker 1: family or who your close loved ones to be on

885
00:47:12,719 --> 00:47:16,120
Speaker 1: board with you to help you compress the week and

886
00:47:16,200 --> 00:47:17,640
Speaker 1: all the things you need to get done.

887
00:47:19,040 --> 00:47:20,320
Speaker 2: So you can still go out and perform.

888
00:47:20,400 --> 00:47:21,879
Speaker 1: So you can still go out and perform and get

889
00:47:21,920 --> 00:47:24,600
Speaker 1: read and be fresh as fresh as you can. You

890
00:47:24,640 --> 00:47:26,920
Speaker 1: gotta get off your feet, You gotta get do all

891
00:47:26,960 --> 00:47:29,800
Speaker 1: the recovery massage. You got to get the cryo chamber,

892
00:47:29,920 --> 00:47:34,320
Speaker 1: cold tub, extra sleep, hyperbaric chamber if you want hyper

893
00:47:34,400 --> 00:47:42,719
Speaker 1: Barrick Chamber everything and on, Like tonight, you got to

894
00:47:42,719 --> 00:47:46,800
Speaker 1: get like nineteen hours of sleep if you can, because

895
00:47:47,480 --> 00:47:48,440
Speaker 1: like tomorrow.

896
00:47:48,160 --> 00:47:50,399
Speaker 2: Night, you's a travel day.

897
00:47:50,520 --> 00:47:54,520
Speaker 1: Right tomorrow you're in Miami, so you know it's the

898
00:47:54,600 --> 00:47:56,160
Speaker 1: night before game and all that. So you got to

899
00:47:56,200 --> 00:47:58,879
Speaker 1: get you know, some you know, pack in the rest.

900
00:47:59,480 --> 00:48:01,320
Speaker 1: And you need help to do that in your personal

901
00:48:01,400 --> 00:48:03,680
Speaker 1: life too. So that's when these guys really these short

902
00:48:03,719 --> 00:48:05,480
Speaker 1: weeks and stuff. To me, they really lean on their

903
00:48:06,239 --> 00:48:11,840
Speaker 1: families and their loved ones to support them, you know,

904
00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:14,600
Speaker 1: to get ready so that they don't give them any

905
00:48:14,880 --> 00:48:17,600
Speaker 1: trouble about being at the stadium more or needing some

906
00:48:17,680 --> 00:48:22,239
Speaker 1: extra rest or honey, I gotta lay down whatever. That

907
00:48:22,480 --> 00:48:24,600
Speaker 1: helps a lot, and that gets that's getting and that

908
00:48:24,680 --> 00:48:26,799
Speaker 1: also frees his mind up to say, Okay, I'm all.

909
00:48:26,920 --> 00:48:29,040
Speaker 1: You know, everything's taken care of. I can free myself

910
00:48:29,080 --> 00:48:29,719
Speaker 1: up and go play.

911
00:48:30,600 --> 00:48:35,160
Speaker 2: That is game day mentality presented by Best Self Behavioral Health.

Speaker 2: a walk through variety, Steve, because practice with pads two

926
00:50:04,239 --> 00:50:06,720
Speaker 2: days removed from a game not ideal.

927
00:50:07,200 --> 00:50:07,439
Speaker 17: Yeah.

928
00:50:07,920 --> 00:50:10,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a short week. And we were just talking

929
00:50:10,120 --> 00:50:12,080
Speaker 1: about the last segment about how you got to have

930
00:50:12,960 --> 00:50:14,800
Speaker 1: a lot of things behind you to support you to

931
00:50:14,800 --> 00:50:17,200
Speaker 1: get you ready, because you got to spend so much

932
00:50:17,280 --> 00:50:19,279
Speaker 1: time not only studying the game plan, getting ready and

933
00:50:19,360 --> 00:50:22,759
Speaker 1: trying to take a few reps at at least half

934
00:50:22,840 --> 00:50:24,640
Speaker 1: speed so you can get up and get a feel

935
00:50:24,680 --> 00:50:27,000
Speaker 1: for what's gonna happen. Watch some film, have the coaches

936
00:50:27,080 --> 00:50:29,880
Speaker 1: coach you up, and they've had members of the coaching

937
00:50:29,920 --> 00:50:33,480
Speaker 1: staff have been looking at Miami stuff, not only the game.

938
00:50:33,520 --> 00:50:35,840
Speaker 1: They just played, but also getting ready for it and

939
00:50:35,960 --> 00:50:39,800
Speaker 1: from last year and stuff they expect this year, what

940
00:50:40,000 --> 00:50:42,880
Speaker 1: Arizona did to the Bills, what they expect the Dolphins

941
00:50:42,920 --> 00:50:45,400
Speaker 1: to copy from that game plan of what they can

942
00:50:45,520 --> 00:50:47,239
Speaker 1: learn from and all of that stuff is going into

943
00:50:47,280 --> 00:50:49,840
Speaker 1: the mix, and they're you know, there's just no time

944
00:50:50,800 --> 00:50:52,080
Speaker 1: right now, there's just no time.

945
00:50:52,239 --> 00:50:56,320
Speaker 2: Now. Tell me how tricky is it with an opponent

946
00:50:56,520 --> 00:50:59,680
Speaker 2: like this with as much speed as they have, when

947
00:50:59,680 --> 00:51:02,560
Speaker 2: you can practice at all at full speed to get ready.

948
00:51:02,360 --> 00:51:05,480
Speaker 1: For a team that's that well at this point, I mean,

949
00:51:05,520 --> 00:51:06,000
Speaker 1: you don't have.

950
00:51:06,000 --> 00:51:08,759
Speaker 2: Another choice, But yeah, is it more Is it more

951
00:51:08,880 --> 00:51:10,919
Speaker 2: difficult to adjust to at the start of the game

952
00:51:12,200 --> 00:51:13,240
Speaker 2: because they're that fast?

953
00:51:13,280 --> 00:51:18,640
Speaker 1: I think it might be collectively maybe yes, I it's

954
00:51:18,840 --> 00:51:20,640
Speaker 1: you can't get a feel forward on film. You can't.

955
00:51:20,680 --> 00:51:22,600
Speaker 1: You don't know how fast Tyreek is until you get

956
00:51:22,640 --> 00:51:26,480
Speaker 1: out there, but you got to you can make sure

957
00:51:27,080 --> 00:51:29,279
Speaker 1: that you're covered. You know you you're backing out of

958
00:51:29,320 --> 00:51:32,160
Speaker 1: there fast. You're expecting it at least, right you don't

959
00:51:32,280 --> 00:51:33,839
Speaker 1: know how fast he is until you get out there

960
00:51:33,880 --> 00:51:37,120
Speaker 1: and see it taking a full a full scale rep.

961
00:51:37,520 --> 00:51:39,920
Speaker 1: At this point of the season, it's almost like you

962
00:51:40,040 --> 00:51:43,080
Speaker 1: can remember better the game you just played, So the

963
00:51:43,160 --> 00:51:45,719
Speaker 1: pace will take up right from there. You got that

964
00:51:45,880 --> 00:51:49,480
Speaker 1: going for you. In my opinion, I think the biggest

965
00:51:49,560 --> 00:51:53,440
Speaker 1: thing about this is you've got a game plan that

966
00:51:53,520 --> 00:51:56,040
Speaker 1: you're ready with. But that game plan, to me, is

967
00:51:56,120 --> 00:51:59,879
Speaker 1: going to be a percentage of a total game plan.

968
00:52:00,880 --> 00:52:03,120
Speaker 1: You just don't have time to put in all the nuance.

969
00:52:03,560 --> 00:52:05,759
Speaker 1: And you know, like opening they've been getting ready for

970
00:52:05,840 --> 00:52:09,440
Speaker 1: Opening Day for months. This one they got four days.

971
00:52:10,200 --> 00:52:11,000
Speaker 1: That's the difference.

972
00:52:11,120 --> 00:52:15,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, so the volume will be, yeah, considerably.

973
00:52:15,280 --> 00:52:16,920
Speaker 1: You'll have got they'll run through it, they'll get it.

974
00:52:16,960 --> 00:52:19,040
Speaker 1: It'll be stuff they've got under their belt, no question.

975
00:52:19,160 --> 00:52:21,560
Speaker 1: But you ain't gonna have like barrels of it. You're

976
00:52:21,560 --> 00:52:25,000
Speaker 1: gonna have a cupful of it, right, So you got

977
00:52:25,120 --> 00:52:26,680
Speaker 1: to make sure you get that and do it right.

978
00:52:27,120 --> 00:52:32,080
Speaker 2: We are efforting to connect with ESPN NFL analyst Dan Orlowski.

979
00:52:32,080 --> 00:52:35,239
Speaker 2: We're having some technical difficulties with the connection, so we

980
00:52:35,320 --> 00:52:39,160
Speaker 2: hope to have Dan along soon. Here in the meantime,

981
00:52:39,640 --> 00:52:42,160
Speaker 2: we will take a phone call and we'll go to

982
00:52:42,480 --> 00:52:45,720
Speaker 2: Mark in West senecon X. What's up Mark, Hey, guys,

983
00:52:45,760 --> 00:52:46,479
Speaker 2: how you doing today?

984
00:52:46,640 --> 00:52:46,879
Speaker 1: Good?

985
00:52:47,880 --> 00:52:48,040
Speaker 10: Hey?

986
00:52:49,400 --> 00:52:50,080
Speaker 14: I didn't call.

987
00:52:50,040 --> 00:52:52,759
Speaker 18: About this, but real quick on this whole knowing the

988
00:52:52,840 --> 00:52:56,040
Speaker 18: other team and you know intel and all that kind

989
00:52:56,040 --> 00:53:02,359
Speaker 18: of thing. I think it's well over rated, especially when

990
00:53:02,680 --> 00:53:06,040
Speaker 18: you're talking about a team that's in your division. If

991
00:53:06,120 --> 00:53:10,000
Speaker 18: you get surprised by anything they do or any of

992
00:53:10,000 --> 00:53:12,880
Speaker 18: the schematics, then your coaches aren't that good or they

993
00:53:12,960 --> 00:53:15,040
Speaker 18: just don't know what they're doing because and then as

994
00:53:15,080 --> 00:53:17,239
Speaker 18: far as this being a Thursday game, I think it's

995
00:53:17,320 --> 00:53:21,400
Speaker 18: actually a little bit easier because we're so familiar with Miami.

996
00:53:22,200 --> 00:53:24,319
Speaker 18: We've have a book on them for years and years,

997
00:53:24,360 --> 00:53:26,439
Speaker 18: and now we have a book on their head coach

998
00:53:26,560 --> 00:53:28,640
Speaker 18: for a while too what he likes to do. So

999
00:53:29,880 --> 00:53:32,040
Speaker 18: I think it's much easier to prepare for a team

1000
00:53:32,080 --> 00:53:34,239
Speaker 18: in the division than they say a team from the

1001
00:53:34,520 --> 00:53:36,959
Speaker 18: NFC that you see once every four years or something

1002
00:53:37,040 --> 00:53:37,200
Speaker 18: like that.

1003
00:53:37,520 --> 00:53:39,719
Speaker 2: On a short that's especially true, I would agree with that.

1004
00:53:40,600 --> 00:53:43,600
Speaker 18: And what I've really called about though this is a

1005
00:53:43,600 --> 00:53:46,279
Speaker 18: little bit of an arbitrary question. I'm just picking your

1006
00:53:46,320 --> 00:53:48,120
Speaker 18: guy's brains to see if you have any thoughts that

1007
00:53:48,200 --> 00:53:51,720
Speaker 18: you haven't expressed about this before the injury bugs. Okay,

1008
00:53:52,960 --> 00:53:55,040
Speaker 18: I think we all believe that the Bill seasons have

1009
00:53:55,160 --> 00:53:59,600
Speaker 18: been derailed the last two years by injuries predominantly, And

1010
00:54:00,120 --> 00:54:04,000
Speaker 18: the thing that's overwhelmingly concerning to me is the fact

1011
00:54:04,040 --> 00:54:07,719
Speaker 18: that they're all predominantly, for the most part, injuries to

1012
00:54:07,800 --> 00:54:11,560
Speaker 18: defensive players, and of course key defensive players. And do

1013
00:54:11,640 --> 00:54:15,480
Speaker 18: you guys have any series as to why it seems

1014
00:54:15,520 --> 00:54:18,080
Speaker 18: to be that way? Is it a league thing that's

1015
00:54:18,160 --> 00:54:21,200
Speaker 18: going on? Do you have any idea? Is it because

1016
00:54:21,239 --> 00:54:24,480
Speaker 18: of the lack of physicality and camp and obviously you

1017
00:54:24,600 --> 00:54:28,560
Speaker 18: can't be physical in practice during the season. Is it

1018
00:54:28,640 --> 00:54:33,080
Speaker 18: because defensive players with that lack of physicalness are more

1019
00:54:33,719 --> 00:54:37,440
Speaker 18: inclined to be in a catch mode, catching a guy big, fast, strong,

1020
00:54:37,600 --> 00:54:41,279
Speaker 18: coming at them as opposed to delivering blows downhill and

1021
00:54:41,400 --> 00:54:44,960
Speaker 18: having a good run at them. And then do you

1022
00:54:45,040 --> 00:54:47,520
Speaker 18: have any intel you can give us as far as

1023
00:54:48,200 --> 00:54:51,600
Speaker 18: what the Bills staff, if you can share anything medically

1024
00:54:51,920 --> 00:54:55,359
Speaker 18: and training wise, what they've been doing, because I'm sure

1025
00:54:55,400 --> 00:54:58,800
Speaker 18: they're very aware of the fact that they've had these injuries.

1026
00:54:58,840 --> 00:55:01,360
Speaker 18: And here we are out of the game one and

1027
00:55:01,480 --> 00:55:03,800
Speaker 18: we lose Terran for how long? And we all know

1028
00:55:04,239 --> 00:55:07,040
Speaker 18: how important he is. So so that's really what my

1029
00:55:07,200 --> 00:55:09,920
Speaker 18: concern is. And I hope I'm just not diving off

1030
00:55:10,000 --> 00:55:14,120
Speaker 18: the deep end. But anyway, I just wonder if you

1031
00:55:14,200 --> 00:55:17,399
Speaker 18: guys had any any ideas about that, and real quick

1032
00:55:17,560 --> 00:55:21,320
Speaker 18: say at market Hamilton, I don't know about his credibility

1033
00:55:21,360 --> 00:55:24,320
Speaker 18: because I don't know anybody from Ontario that doesn't watch hockey.

1034
00:55:24,600 --> 00:55:27,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I noticed that. I didn't want to say anything,

1035
00:55:28,000 --> 00:55:29,960
Speaker 1: but yeah, I'm kind of with you. But good for him.

1036
00:55:30,360 --> 00:55:33,120
Speaker 1: He can watch what he wants. But we appreciated the call. Anyway,

1037
00:55:33,239 --> 00:55:39,080
Speaker 1: Thanks Mark. And I'll say this, certainly, the division thing

1038
00:55:39,200 --> 00:55:41,840
Speaker 1: does make this a little different, uh, for the Bills

1039
00:55:41,920 --> 00:55:43,960
Speaker 1: and Dolphins. They do know these teams. They do know

1040
00:55:44,080 --> 00:55:46,239
Speaker 1: each other pretty well. They can go back and look

1041
00:55:46,280 --> 00:55:50,040
Speaker 1: at games against each other and get a lot of

1042
00:55:50,120 --> 00:55:54,080
Speaker 1: intel from that, which they do every game. I think

1043
00:55:54,160 --> 00:55:55,759
Speaker 1: it does make a little bit of a difference that

1044
00:55:55,840 --> 00:55:58,640
Speaker 1: it's a more familiar opponent here on a Thursday night game,

1045
00:55:58,719 --> 00:56:03,160
Speaker 1: short week after opening, a different than the Arizona Cardinals

1046
00:56:03,200 --> 00:56:05,520
Speaker 1: would have been with a new coaching staff, a new

1047
00:56:06,800 --> 00:56:12,520
Speaker 1: prominent offensive player. Yes, there's a lot fewer questions about

1048
00:56:12,600 --> 00:56:15,239
Speaker 1: what they can expect from the Dolphins. It's it's just

1049
00:56:15,320 --> 00:56:17,759
Speaker 1: more about what what's the new stuff they've got for us?

1050
00:56:18,800 --> 00:56:21,640
Speaker 1: Kind of thing. Yeah, there's a little bit of that

1051
00:56:21,880 --> 00:56:26,000
Speaker 1: in this short week with a division opponent that would

1052
00:56:26,040 --> 00:56:27,759
Speaker 1: not be there with a team like if it was

1053
00:56:27,760 --> 00:56:30,200
Speaker 1: a Thursday night game against Seattle or somebody that you

1054
00:56:30,280 --> 00:56:31,880
Speaker 1: don't play now for.

1055
00:56:31,960 --> 00:56:34,719
Speaker 2: The injuries on interested players predominantly.

1056
00:56:36,280 --> 00:56:39,600
Speaker 1: I get what you're saying. It's it's a phenomenon that

1057
00:56:39,760 --> 00:56:42,800
Speaker 1: has been talked about by old time athletic trainers for

1058
00:56:42,840 --> 00:56:45,759
Speaker 1: a long time where they'll say, we we went three

1059
00:56:45,880 --> 00:56:47,480
Speaker 1: years and we never got a turf toe, then we

1060
00:56:47,560 --> 00:56:50,440
Speaker 1: got five in one year. It's that kind of thing.

1061
00:56:51,640 --> 00:56:55,160
Speaker 1: It's a rabbit hole. It is a rabbit hole. You

1062
00:56:55,280 --> 00:56:57,120
Speaker 1: can go down there and you can pull it apart,

1063
00:56:57,200 --> 00:56:59,279
Speaker 1: you can see what's going on, what you did. And

1064
00:57:00,440 --> 00:57:02,799
Speaker 1: all these guys train on their own in the offseason,

1065
00:57:02,800 --> 00:57:04,799
Speaker 1: and then they come back together and then they start doing,

1066
00:57:05,239 --> 00:57:07,480
Speaker 1: you know, the team stuff. They start kind of doing

1067
00:57:07,760 --> 00:57:10,600
Speaker 1: running through the stuff that the team does. So maybe

1068
00:57:10,680 --> 00:57:13,600
Speaker 1: you can say that because they're all doing the same

1069
00:57:13,880 --> 00:57:17,080
Speaker 1: type of exercises on the same schedule, on the same

1070
00:57:17,200 --> 00:57:20,640
Speaker 1: weight room, on this you know, with the same team,

1071
00:57:21,120 --> 00:57:23,680
Speaker 1: same coaches, that all of a sudden they've all got

1072
00:57:23,760 --> 00:57:26,800
Speaker 1: the same sort of whatever propensity to be injured in

1073
00:57:26,880 --> 00:57:30,160
Speaker 1: the same way. I can listen to that, but man,

1074
00:57:30,240 --> 00:57:33,360
Speaker 1: oh man, that's a rabbit hole that's hard to go

1075
00:57:33,520 --> 00:57:34,320
Speaker 1: down and come out of.

1076
00:57:34,480 --> 00:57:37,720
Speaker 2: It's the only other thing that comes to mind, because

1077
00:57:37,760 --> 00:57:39,560
Speaker 2: the Bills have fallen victim to this a little bit,

1078
00:57:40,360 --> 00:57:44,840
Speaker 2: is defensive players, I think are more susceptible to friendly

1079
00:57:44,960 --> 00:57:49,400
Speaker 2: fire from teammates. Yeah, you're the first guy in on

1080
00:57:49,520 --> 00:57:51,440
Speaker 2: a tackle and then a second guy comes in and

1081
00:57:51,600 --> 00:57:54,680
Speaker 2: wax you. I mean that's how Terence Johnsons got Yeah,

1082
00:57:54,960 --> 00:57:56,360
Speaker 2: Taytor Helmett on his forearm.

1083
00:57:56,440 --> 00:57:59,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, Taylor RAF's been taking some flak on social media

1084
00:57:59,040 --> 00:58:01,040
Speaker 1: about being one of those that does that a lot.

1085
00:58:02,360 --> 00:58:04,920
Speaker 1: That's the first I'd heard of it. When when happened,

1086
00:58:04,960 --> 00:58:06,240
Speaker 1: I don't know if he's done that before.

1087
00:58:06,360 --> 00:58:08,439
Speaker 2: Friendly fire is I don't know. You want to call

1088
00:58:08,520 --> 00:58:11,760
Speaker 2: that an added risk. Maybe that contributes to it. I don't.

1089
00:58:12,360 --> 00:58:14,640
Speaker 2: I'm not going to pretend to have any research statistics

1090
00:58:14,720 --> 00:58:16,920
Speaker 2: on that, but it's just something that came top of

1091
00:58:16,960 --> 00:58:20,000
Speaker 2: mind when you said it, Mark. So whether there's validity

1092
00:58:20,080 --> 00:58:23,080
Speaker 2: to that, I don't know. But you usually don't see

1093
00:58:23,160 --> 00:58:27,320
Speaker 2: friendly fire injuring an offensive player from a fellow teammate.

1094
00:58:28,600 --> 00:58:30,680
Speaker 2: Maybe it's different now with the tush push play, but

1095
00:58:31,960 --> 00:58:37,600
Speaker 2: I've rarely seen that. We finally connected with ESPN NFL

1096
00:58:37,680 --> 00:58:41,720
Speaker 2: analyst Dan Orlovsky who joins us now and Dan good

1097
00:58:41,760 --> 00:58:43,920
Speaker 2: to have you with us. Dan Orlovski's appearance is on

1098
00:58:44,000 --> 00:58:46,640
Speaker 2: one Bill's Live Are presented by Caesar's Sportsbook and official

1099
00:58:46,680 --> 00:58:51,000
Speaker 2: mobile sports betting partner of the Buffalo Bills and Dan.

1100
00:58:51,120 --> 00:58:53,720
Speaker 2: This is a little bit off the field here, a

1101
00:58:54,000 --> 00:58:57,200
Speaker 2: short week. As we know for both of these teams,

1102
00:58:57,760 --> 00:59:02,080
Speaker 2: we've seen the Tyreek Hill police situation kind of enveloped

1103
00:59:02,080 --> 00:59:05,000
Speaker 2: the team because the media has been constantly bombarding them

1104
00:59:05,040 --> 00:59:08,400
Speaker 2: with questions the last three days. How as a player

1105
00:59:08,480 --> 00:59:11,000
Speaker 2: do you avoid letting that become a distraction on a

1106
00:59:11,120 --> 00:59:13,360
Speaker 2: short week where your preparation is short to begin with.

1107
00:59:15,160 --> 00:59:16,240
Speaker 14: Yeah, good to be with you guys.

1108
00:59:16,280 --> 00:59:20,080
Speaker 13: Again, I think NFL players, I think a lot of

1109
00:59:20,160 --> 00:59:24,120
Speaker 13: high end athletes have a great ability to compartmentalize things.

1110
00:59:24,400 --> 00:59:27,920
Speaker 13: You know, it's a creature of habit, type of profession,

1111
00:59:28,120 --> 00:59:31,840
Speaker 13: and so I think that a lot of guys are

1112
00:59:31,880 --> 00:59:34,720
Speaker 13: equipped to do that just because of how they've been

1113
00:59:35,080 --> 00:59:38,480
Speaker 13: around the sport and kind of regimented in many ways.

1114
00:59:38,640 --> 00:59:41,680
Speaker 13: Mike McDaniel and the way he's handled it, I do

1115
00:59:41,920 --> 00:59:44,520
Speaker 13: think gives guys in that locker room a little bit

1116
00:59:44,560 --> 00:59:50,240
Speaker 13: more focus, I guess on really trying to make sure

1117
00:59:50,280 --> 00:59:52,880
Speaker 13: that they're doing everything they can to go play for

1118
00:59:52,960 --> 00:59:54,920
Speaker 13: that coach, just the way that I believe that he's

1119
00:59:55,040 --> 00:59:57,560
Speaker 13: spoken about it. And so I think a lot of

1120
00:59:57,640 --> 01:00:00,520
Speaker 13: guys are, you know, day to day, Hey, it is

1121
01:00:00,800 --> 01:00:04,200
Speaker 13: Tuesday of a Thursday night game week. The most important

1122
01:00:04,280 --> 01:00:06,840
Speaker 13: thing for them and for us is making sure that

1123
01:00:06,880 --> 01:00:09,200
Speaker 13: we're getting all the things that are necessary to get

1124
01:00:09,240 --> 01:00:12,360
Speaker 13: done following that schedule. To be honest with you, like

1125
01:00:12,600 --> 01:00:16,160
Speaker 13: the short Thursday week schedules are so ridiculous anyway because

1126
01:00:16,160 --> 01:00:19,240
Speaker 13: you basically go, uh even more so sun up to

1127
01:00:19,360 --> 01:00:21,200
Speaker 13: sun down type of thing. There's not a ton of

1128
01:00:21,320 --> 01:00:24,160
Speaker 13: idle time. There's not a ton of time to have

1129
01:00:24,440 --> 01:00:28,600
Speaker 13: conversations outside or give energy outside of to that actual

1130
01:00:28,760 --> 01:00:31,919
Speaker 13: game since the windows so small. So I think guys

1131
01:00:31,960 --> 01:00:34,160
Speaker 13: are more often than not equipped to kind of go

1132
01:00:34,240 --> 01:00:34,640
Speaker 13: handle that.

1133
01:00:35,320 --> 01:00:37,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's one of the things too that you

1134
01:00:37,360 --> 01:00:40,120
Speaker 1: kind of got to deal with. My take has been

1135
01:00:40,200 --> 01:00:42,080
Speaker 1: in the last couple of minutes here on our show

1136
01:00:42,160 --> 01:00:44,640
Speaker 1: is that you get into these short weeks and got

1137
01:00:44,760 --> 01:00:48,200
Speaker 1: and you see players tend to lean on their supports,

1138
01:00:48,240 --> 01:00:50,560
Speaker 1: that their families, right, they need to be at the

1139
01:00:50,600 --> 01:00:53,760
Speaker 1: stadium sun up to sundown. They they they're not gonna

1140
01:00:53,760 --> 01:00:55,480
Speaker 1: be able to, Like I said, you're not gonna be

1141
01:00:55,480 --> 01:00:56,840
Speaker 1: able to take the trash out, You're not gonna be

1142
01:00:56,880 --> 01:00:58,560
Speaker 1: able to mow the lawn this week. You gotta you know,

1143
01:00:59,400 --> 01:01:02,880
Speaker 1: you gotta focused on the job and and you really

1144
01:01:03,000 --> 01:01:06,320
Speaker 1: do lean on those people that are in your life

1145
01:01:06,360 --> 01:01:08,160
Speaker 1: that are gonna help you do that. I mean, everybody's

1146
01:01:08,200 --> 01:01:11,240
Speaker 1: got that, right, some guys. It's rare now that you've

1147
01:01:11,280 --> 01:01:13,760
Speaker 1: got guys in the NFL that go home to the apartment.

1148
01:01:13,800 --> 01:01:18,320
Speaker 1: It's just them, right, Yeah, so they everybody, it's all

1149
01:01:18,400 --> 01:01:20,600
Speaker 1: hands on deck in this short week because there's just

1150
01:01:20,680 --> 01:01:22,439
Speaker 1: not enough time. And I think, you know, the game

1151
01:01:22,480 --> 01:01:24,760
Speaker 1: plan is honed down a little bit. Being in a

1152
01:01:24,840 --> 01:01:28,920
Speaker 1: division game helps because you're familiar with these guys, you

1153
01:01:29,000 --> 01:01:32,040
Speaker 1: got some history. But all of that goes into this too,

1154
01:01:32,160 --> 01:01:35,040
Speaker 1: is that this is one of those weeks where forget this,

1155
01:01:35,560 --> 01:01:38,320
Speaker 1: the Tyreek thing is just another layer on top of

1156
01:01:38,400 --> 01:01:40,880
Speaker 1: what you've got to deal with in a week where

1157
01:01:40,880 --> 01:01:42,320
Speaker 1: you don't have time to deal with everything.

1158
01:01:43,600 --> 01:01:45,680
Speaker 13: Yeah, and I'd say this Steve too, Like I would

1159
01:01:45,720 --> 01:01:49,120
Speaker 13: imagine both of these teams, because they're well coached teams

1160
01:01:49,160 --> 01:01:52,280
Speaker 13: and they've been through this before, is they probably spent

1161
01:01:52,400 --> 01:01:55,720
Speaker 13: a decent amount of you know, that week that's right

1162
01:01:55,960 --> 01:02:01,200
Speaker 13: after essentially the third preseason game, the last preseason game,

1163
01:02:01,560 --> 01:02:03,120
Speaker 13: and you're trying to figure out your team.

1164
01:02:03,480 --> 01:02:04,880
Speaker 14: I would bet both of those.

1165
01:02:04,840 --> 01:02:08,000
Speaker 13: Teams took part of that week to start preparing for

1166
01:02:08,120 --> 01:02:10,400
Speaker 13: their first and second week opponents, since it is a

1167
01:02:10,480 --> 01:02:14,360
Speaker 13: Thursday game of week two, so you know, I guarantee

1168
01:02:14,360 --> 01:02:17,160
Speaker 13: you that sewn and then prepared for Arizona and Miami,

1169
01:02:17,240 --> 01:02:20,920
Speaker 13: and then vice versa. Miami absolutely prepared for Jacksonville and

1170
01:02:21,040 --> 01:02:24,320
Speaker 13: Buffalo to try to get kind of two game preparations

1171
01:02:24,400 --> 01:02:28,240
Speaker 13: in in advance in that time period and then so

1172
01:02:28,360 --> 01:02:30,360
Speaker 13: you're not jumping into it for the first time this

1173
01:02:30,520 --> 01:02:34,320
Speaker 13: year in that so I would imagine both organizations kind

1174
01:02:34,360 --> 01:02:37,400
Speaker 13: of addressed some of the game planning and try to

1175
01:02:37,400 --> 01:02:39,520
Speaker 13: get a jump on it in that week leading up

1176
01:02:39,600 --> 01:02:44,200
Speaker 13: to that final preseason game and a final preseason situation

1177
01:02:44,400 --> 01:02:44,760
Speaker 13: or timing.

1178
01:02:45,200 --> 01:02:48,280
Speaker 2: All right, So, Dan, give us your initial impressions of

1179
01:02:48,680 --> 01:02:51,760
Speaker 2: Buffalo's Week one performance. Run game looked.

1180
01:02:51,600 --> 01:02:52,440
Speaker 1: Good, early.

1181
01:02:54,640 --> 01:02:58,800
Speaker 2: Passing game wasn't wildly productive, but it was efficient, and

1182
01:02:59,240 --> 01:03:01,800
Speaker 2: you know, Josh kind of did his thing and took

1183
01:03:01,840 --> 01:03:06,440
Speaker 2: over the game at the appropriate time. But they're staring at,

1184
01:03:06,720 --> 01:03:09,680
Speaker 2: you know, a fourteen point deficit in the first half

1185
01:03:10,360 --> 01:03:12,120
Speaker 2: before they kind of got their legs under them.

1186
01:03:13,760 --> 01:03:13,960
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1187
01:03:14,000 --> 01:03:15,760
Speaker 13: I've seen a lot of conversation or a lot of

1188
01:03:15,800 --> 01:03:18,840
Speaker 13: people make comments in regards to well, if the Bills

1189
01:03:18,840 --> 01:03:21,040
Speaker 13: are gonna win, Josh is gonna win MVP because he's

1190
01:03:21,040 --> 01:03:25,000
Speaker 13: gonna have to. My take wasn't that after this game,

1191
01:03:25,080 --> 01:03:29,800
Speaker 13: I actually thought, One, I liked their twelve personnel run game.

1192
01:03:29,840 --> 01:03:32,800
Speaker 13: I really did, especially the kind of the zone stuff

1193
01:03:32,880 --> 01:03:34,600
Speaker 13: that they did out of it and then the tackle

1194
01:03:34,640 --> 01:03:35,160
Speaker 13: poll game.

1195
01:03:35,280 --> 01:03:37,960
Speaker 14: So I thought, and that's not a lot different than

1196
01:03:38,000 --> 01:03:39,200
Speaker 14: what we saw under Joe last year.

1197
01:03:39,240 --> 01:03:41,360
Speaker 13: But I thought it was really fit, not only efficient,

1198
01:03:41,400 --> 01:03:43,240
Speaker 13: but they got some I don't want to call them

1199
01:03:43,320 --> 01:03:45,920
Speaker 13: chunk runs, but they got some you know, eight to

1200
01:03:46,040 --> 01:03:47,160
Speaker 13: ten yarders out of it.

1201
01:03:47,360 --> 01:03:48,760
Speaker 2: So One, I liked that.

1202
01:03:49,320 --> 01:03:49,480
Speaker 5: Two.

1203
01:03:50,240 --> 01:03:52,760
Speaker 13: I liked some of the RPO, but not a ton

1204
01:03:52,840 --> 01:03:55,480
Speaker 13: of it. There was enough sprinkled RPO in there that

1205
01:03:55,560 --> 01:03:59,320
Speaker 13: I thought was necessary. I thought enough play action not

1206
01:03:59,520 --> 01:04:02,800
Speaker 13: doing it too much, but you know, having that three

1207
01:04:02,920 --> 01:04:05,320
Speaker 13: or four snaps the game of it. I also think

1208
01:04:05,400 --> 01:04:07,800
Speaker 13: the biggest question that I kind of wanted to see was,

1209
01:04:08,440 --> 01:04:10,800
Speaker 13: you know, what was keon like? Was he going to

1210
01:04:10,880 --> 01:04:13,000
Speaker 13: be diversified in his routes? Was he going to be

1211
01:04:13,040 --> 01:04:15,840
Speaker 13: able to win versus man coverage. I think we got

1212
01:04:15,920 --> 01:04:16,400
Speaker 13: that answer.

1213
01:04:16,520 --> 01:04:16,640
Speaker 3: You know.

1214
01:04:16,720 --> 01:04:18,840
Speaker 13: I saw him win on a shallow cross versus man.

1215
01:04:18,880 --> 01:04:20,600
Speaker 13: I saw him win on a go route versus man.

1216
01:04:20,960 --> 01:04:22,960
Speaker 13: And while it wasn't I don't want to say win

1217
01:04:23,160 --> 01:04:25,280
Speaker 13: on a go route as far as whooping a dude,

1218
01:04:25,640 --> 01:04:27,400
Speaker 13: he went and made the contested catch on the go.

1219
01:04:27,680 --> 01:04:29,800
Speaker 13: I saw him win on a slant route. I saw

1220
01:04:29,840 --> 01:04:32,600
Speaker 13: him win on a stop route, and so I was

1221
01:04:32,720 --> 01:04:36,520
Speaker 13: actually encouraged by that part of what happened in the game.

1222
01:04:36,600 --> 01:04:40,919
Speaker 13: And I certainly saw Josh make some plays, but that's

1223
01:04:41,000 --> 01:04:45,160
Speaker 13: kind of been the the at least projection for this offense, right,

1224
01:04:45,800 --> 01:04:48,720
Speaker 13: we expected a lot more control. You know, my note

1225
01:04:48,800 --> 01:04:51,920
Speaker 13: for the game is controlled on offense, so lowmore control

1226
01:04:52,040 --> 01:04:55,240
Speaker 13: showed itself. Instead of Josh having to make ten, twelve,

1227
01:04:55,320 --> 01:04:58,320
Speaker 13: fifteen plays, Josh made like four or five, and that's

1228
01:04:58,400 --> 01:05:00,920
Speaker 13: kind of been what I envisioned or hoped and I

1229
01:05:01,080 --> 01:05:04,480
Speaker 13: kind of saw that. So my big takeaway was kinkaidad

1230
01:05:04,560 --> 01:05:07,560
Speaker 13: one catch and they scored thirty against the defense.

1231
01:05:07,600 --> 01:05:09,520
Speaker 1: I think is going to be pretty good. One of

1232
01:05:09,600 --> 01:05:11,600
Speaker 1: the things we talked about as well was when they

1233
01:05:11,720 --> 01:05:13,280
Speaker 1: you know, they did dig themselves a little bit of

1234
01:05:13,280 --> 01:05:15,000
Speaker 1: a whole, Arizona came out and punched him in the

1235
01:05:15,040 --> 01:05:16,919
Speaker 1: mouth pretty good. You can say what you want about

1236
01:05:16,960 --> 01:05:18,960
Speaker 1: you know, Josh had the turnover early and it led

1237
01:05:18,960 --> 01:05:21,720
Speaker 1: to a ten to nothing deficit and all that, But

1238
01:05:22,520 --> 01:05:25,880
Speaker 1: Arizona's offense is going to there's people out there that

1239
01:05:25,960 --> 01:05:27,640
Speaker 1: think it's going to be a top ten offense at

1240
01:05:27,680 --> 01:05:29,560
Speaker 1: the end of the year. They think they're really improved.

1241
01:05:30,320 --> 01:05:32,800
Speaker 1: What did you see them in the Bill's coaching staff

1242
01:05:32,840 --> 01:05:35,360
Speaker 1: at halftime? They came out and they they changed some

1243
01:05:35,520 --> 01:05:39,280
Speaker 1: things and adjusted their defensive philosophy at halftime, and they

1244
01:05:39,480 --> 01:05:43,240
Speaker 1: really really seemed more effective coming kind of r through

1245
01:05:43,320 --> 01:05:45,760
Speaker 1: for thirty one yards in the second half, held the

1246
01:05:45,840 --> 01:05:48,800
Speaker 1: Cardinals to three points on the board in the second half.

1247
01:05:48,920 --> 01:05:52,120
Speaker 1: So something changed defensively, and you can, I guess you

1248
01:05:52,200 --> 01:05:55,000
Speaker 1: can chalk it up to the coaching adjustments as to

1249
01:05:55,120 --> 01:05:57,560
Speaker 1: why that was. Yeah, I think so.

1250
01:05:57,960 --> 01:06:00,960
Speaker 13: The two halves one there there was a little bit

1251
01:06:01,080 --> 01:06:03,080
Speaker 13: unknown of what the offense was going to look like

1252
01:06:03,160 --> 01:06:05,920
Speaker 13: in Arizona. This was the first year that Tyler was

1253
01:06:05,960 --> 01:06:08,400
Speaker 13: going to be healthy in this offense, the addition of

1254
01:06:08,480 --> 01:06:11,600
Speaker 13: Marvin Harrison junior, So there was somewhat of an unknown

1255
01:06:11,720 --> 01:06:13,280
Speaker 13: of kind of like what were they going to be

1256
01:06:13,480 --> 01:06:15,080
Speaker 13: Like was it going to be a little bit more

1257
01:06:15,160 --> 01:06:16,640
Speaker 13: spread out, was it going to be a little bit

1258
01:06:16,720 --> 01:06:18,919
Speaker 13: more under center. Was it going to be a little

1259
01:06:18,920 --> 01:06:21,000
Speaker 13: bit more keeper and play action? Was it going to

1260
01:06:21,040 --> 01:06:23,160
Speaker 13: be RPO centric? So I thought they were.

1261
01:06:23,120 --> 01:06:26,040
Speaker 14: Trying to feel them way out, feel their way out

1262
01:06:26,080 --> 01:06:26,240
Speaker 14: of it.

1263
01:06:26,400 --> 01:06:30,040
Speaker 13: Defensively, you know, there was some fire zone pressures that

1264
01:06:30,120 --> 01:06:32,120
Speaker 13: they ran in the first half that they just didn't

1265
01:06:32,200 --> 01:06:34,800
Speaker 13: time up in a good way, and so I think

1266
01:06:34,840 --> 01:06:38,000
Speaker 13: they got caught with that. I'd also say when they

1267
01:06:38,080 --> 01:06:40,280
Speaker 13: brought some of those fire zone pressures early on, Kyler

1268
01:06:40,360 --> 01:06:43,040
Speaker 13: made some big plays with his legs and kind of

1269
01:06:43,120 --> 01:06:46,520
Speaker 13: hurt the defense because just the way that they spun

1270
01:06:46,640 --> 01:06:49,480
Speaker 13: that fire zone and dropped the guy away, it became

1271
01:06:49,560 --> 01:06:53,400
Speaker 13: a really soft edge for Kyler, and so I think

1272
01:06:53,480 --> 01:06:55,440
Speaker 13: in the second half what you saw was them get

1273
01:06:55,480 --> 01:06:58,200
Speaker 13: a little bit away from some of those off ball

1274
01:06:58,320 --> 01:07:02,640
Speaker 13: pressures and try to keep more vision and tighter edges.

1275
01:07:03,120 --> 01:07:05,560
Speaker 13: You didn't see Kyler get away with too many runs

1276
01:07:05,600 --> 01:07:06,960
Speaker 13: in the second half. I think he had two in

1277
01:07:07,000 --> 01:07:09,040
Speaker 13: the first half that went from was fifty yards, so

1278
01:07:09,880 --> 01:07:11,960
Speaker 13: you saw a little bit of that. I thought they

1279
01:07:12,280 --> 01:07:14,280
Speaker 13: did a good job of trying to create Greg and

1280
01:07:14,400 --> 01:07:17,200
Speaker 13: Vaughn and someone on ones. Greg got home a little

1281
01:07:17,240 --> 01:07:20,320
Speaker 13: bit in the second half, and so I still, you know,

1282
01:07:20,480 --> 01:07:23,400
Speaker 13: my big takeaway from the defense is they got to

1283
01:07:23,480 --> 01:07:27,080
Speaker 13: figure out the timing of their pressures better, especially on

1284
01:07:27,200 --> 01:07:29,600
Speaker 13: a short week, because that was something that stood out.

1285
01:07:29,480 --> 01:07:33,240
Speaker 14: To me, was just the disconnect between when the ball

1286
01:07:33,440 --> 01:07:34,560
Speaker 14: was getting snapped.

1287
01:07:34,320 --> 01:07:37,440
Speaker 13: When they were triggering their pressures, and when guys were

1288
01:07:37,520 --> 01:07:40,640
Speaker 13: replacing when the blitzer and where they had to be

1289
01:07:40,880 --> 01:07:44,520
Speaker 13: in some of their zones. So I thought the adjustment

1290
01:07:44,560 --> 01:07:46,439
Speaker 13: of trying to make sure that they had a little

1291
01:07:46,440 --> 01:07:51,200
Speaker 13: bit more tighter edges defensively minimized Arizona some on their

1292
01:07:51,240 --> 01:07:51,920
Speaker 13: offensive end.

1293
01:07:52,440 --> 01:07:54,280
Speaker 2: And then the Dolphins they kind of had a slow

1294
01:07:54,560 --> 01:07:58,200
Speaker 2: first half against the Jaguars last week. Their run game

1295
01:07:58,400 --> 01:08:03,440
Speaker 2: was not working at all in the early stages. I know,

1296
01:08:03,560 --> 01:08:05,640
Speaker 2: I saw this number floating around out there and I

1297
01:08:05,640 --> 01:08:08,040
Speaker 2: don't know that it means a whole lot, but they

1298
01:08:08,080 --> 01:08:10,720
Speaker 2: had two tailbacks on the field more than fifty two

1299
01:08:10,800 --> 01:08:13,280
Speaker 2: percent of the time. Now, I know a chan was

1300
01:08:13,320 --> 01:08:16,160
Speaker 2: splitting out and catching some passes, and I understand why

1301
01:08:16,200 --> 01:08:18,200
Speaker 2: you're putting that guy on the field. He's a speed demon.

1302
01:08:19,320 --> 01:08:23,400
Speaker 2: But maybe just kind of give us your initial impressions

1303
01:08:23,479 --> 01:08:26,120
Speaker 2: as to whether or not anything is dramatically different in

1304
01:08:26,200 --> 01:08:30,400
Speaker 2: McDaniel's offense. And then third new defensive coordinator in three

1305
01:08:30,479 --> 01:08:34,120
Speaker 2: years for the Dolphins defense, is there anything dramatically different

1306
01:08:34,160 --> 01:08:35,920
Speaker 2: on that side of the ball for them scheme wise?

1307
01:08:37,040 --> 01:08:40,040
Speaker 13: Yeah, So offensively, I think you know what I saw

1308
01:08:40,400 --> 01:08:45,040
Speaker 13: was and kind of like Mike McDaniel saying, hey, we

1309
01:08:45,240 --> 01:08:48,880
Speaker 13: can't block Jacksonville's front. Jacksonville's got a pretty darn good front,

1310
01:08:49,360 --> 01:08:51,880
Speaker 13: and I don't think they tried one. They don't want

1311
01:08:51,920 --> 01:08:54,240
Speaker 13: to hold the football. But even more so, there was

1312
01:08:54,360 --> 01:08:57,680
Speaker 13: probably six or eight different versions of catch it now

1313
01:08:57,800 --> 01:09:01,320
Speaker 13: perimeter screens, and it was a little bit more of

1314
01:09:01,400 --> 01:09:03,240
Speaker 13: the I don't think we can block them.

1315
01:09:03,280 --> 01:09:05,080
Speaker 14: They got a really good front. I don't want to

1316
01:09:05,120 --> 01:09:07,639
Speaker 14: hold on to the football, and let's make sure.

1317
01:09:07,640 --> 01:09:09,720
Speaker 13: That that's kind of what a chan was doing was

1318
01:09:09,760 --> 01:09:13,519
Speaker 13: they would motion them out and almost like if you

1319
01:09:13,640 --> 01:09:16,639
Speaker 13: took a slot receiver and lined them five yards behind

1320
01:09:16,680 --> 01:09:17,519
Speaker 13: the line of scrimmage.

1321
01:09:17,520 --> 01:09:19,240
Speaker 4: Almost that's kind of where he got to.

1322
01:09:19,360 --> 01:09:21,439
Speaker 13: And it was just quick screen after a quick screen

1323
01:09:21,479 --> 01:09:24,439
Speaker 13: after quick screen, and really trying to make the defense run,

1324
01:09:24,720 --> 01:09:27,360
Speaker 13: not only run, but week one and this is kind

1325
01:09:27,400 --> 01:09:29,839
Speaker 13: of week one and a half Thursday night, I tackled

1326
01:09:29,920 --> 01:09:33,120
Speaker 13: really well out when you're running full speed and you're

1327
01:09:33,160 --> 01:09:35,439
Speaker 13: trying to see all those different things, is trying to

1328
01:09:35,479 --> 01:09:38,000
Speaker 13: get to a landmark attackle really well. So I think

1329
01:09:38,080 --> 01:09:41,840
Speaker 13: they tried to utilize that a ton. You know, they

1330
01:09:41,920 --> 01:09:46,120
Speaker 13: also took advantage. You know, this is something that Buffalo

1331
01:09:46,280 --> 01:09:48,479
Speaker 13: defensively is going to have to handle, and you know

1332
01:09:48,600 --> 01:09:52,040
Speaker 13: with new safety groups is you know, the two big

1333
01:09:52,160 --> 01:09:55,599
Speaker 13: plays that Miami, it's two massive plays in the second half,

1334
01:09:55,680 --> 01:09:57,680
Speaker 13: one for I want to say sixty five and one

1335
01:09:57,760 --> 01:10:02,880
Speaker 13: for eighty. It's really them kind of showing something on

1336
01:10:03,040 --> 01:10:04,840
Speaker 13: tape in the first half of how they were going

1337
01:10:04,920 --> 01:10:10,439
Speaker 13: to handle a certain formation or action and Miami countering

1338
01:10:10,840 --> 01:10:15,600
Speaker 13: offensively what Jacksonville was doing and realizing, okay, you're doing this,

1339
01:10:15,720 --> 01:10:17,840
Speaker 13: We're going to do that. So it is going to

1340
01:10:17,880 --> 01:10:20,240
Speaker 13: be really important. You know, last year when those two

1341
01:10:20,280 --> 01:10:22,760
Speaker 13: teams played, I didn't see that out of Miami. And

1342
01:10:22,880 --> 01:10:25,760
Speaker 13: last year when they played, you know, Buffalo was relatively

1343
01:10:27,040 --> 01:10:29,840
Speaker 13: consistent with how they were playing defense with that shell

1344
01:10:29,960 --> 01:10:33,439
Speaker 13: defense and really playing that inside leverage and carrying everything.

1345
01:10:33,840 --> 01:10:35,720
Speaker 13: Miami will have a counter to that, so that'll be

1346
01:10:35,840 --> 01:10:40,640
Speaker 13: really important. And then for Miami's defense, you know, I

1347
01:10:40,680 --> 01:10:44,240
Speaker 13: would say this, I think that the best thing that

1348
01:10:44,439 --> 01:10:48,640
Speaker 13: Jacksonville did. Trevor made some big throws, but Jacksonville put

1349
01:10:48,680 --> 01:10:50,439
Speaker 13: two and three tight ends on the field and just

1350
01:10:50,960 --> 01:10:54,800
Speaker 13: pounded the football at Miami and Miami couldn't stop it

1351
01:10:54,920 --> 01:10:57,799
Speaker 13: for most of the game. I mean, Javon Honland punches

1352
01:10:57,840 --> 01:10:59,519
Speaker 13: the ball out at the one yard line. It's twenty

1353
01:10:59,560 --> 01:11:03,120
Speaker 13: four to So I think this, you know, bodes well

1354
01:11:03,320 --> 01:11:06,960
Speaker 13: for some bigger body and multiple people like tight ends

1355
01:11:07,000 --> 01:11:11,760
Speaker 13: on the field and really challenging the interior of Miami's

1356
01:11:11,840 --> 01:11:15,720
Speaker 13: defense to stop a consistent forced run game.

1357
01:11:16,320 --> 01:11:19,120
Speaker 1: Do you think that's a trend I was noticing around

1358
01:11:19,200 --> 01:11:22,479
Speaker 1: the league. I heard that I read somewhere that like

1359
01:11:22,720 --> 01:11:26,000
Speaker 1: the average yard is thrown by was like one hundred

1360
01:11:26,000 --> 01:11:29,120
Speaker 1: and eighty seven yards league wide, and all of a sudden,

1361
01:11:29,160 --> 01:11:30,800
Speaker 1: everybody's ran. Is that just a weak one?

1362
01:11:31,120 --> 01:11:33,479
Speaker 13: Well, yeah, I mean it's it makes me, it drives

1363
01:11:33,520 --> 01:11:35,639
Speaker 13: me furious. You guys have heard me say this before.

1364
01:11:36,960 --> 01:11:39,200
Speaker 13: So this has been coming for years and teams just

1365
01:11:39,320 --> 01:11:44,839
Speaker 13: didn't adjust. And teams have realized, okay, the dynamic element

1366
01:11:44,960 --> 01:11:48,479
Speaker 13: of one, the receivers are so talented and so fast.

1367
01:11:49,200 --> 01:11:52,000
Speaker 13: Two the rpo game and the ball gets out of

1368
01:11:52,000 --> 01:11:55,800
Speaker 13: the quarterback's hands so quickly, and three like, if you

1369
01:11:55,920 --> 01:11:59,560
Speaker 13: give up explosive plays. It's so hard to play nowadays

1370
01:11:59,640 --> 01:12:02,120
Speaker 13: defense of football, and you can't hit guys as much.

1371
01:12:02,240 --> 01:12:05,719
Speaker 13: So way more teams are playing with nickel on the field.

1372
01:12:05,840 --> 01:12:09,080
Speaker 13: You guys obviously are are notorious for it. They're playing

1373
01:12:09,160 --> 01:12:12,840
Speaker 13: way more shell coverage. And you know, when I got

1374
01:12:12,880 --> 01:12:15,840
Speaker 13: into the league twenty almost twenty five years ago, now,

1375
01:12:16,080 --> 01:12:18,560
Speaker 13: it was we're gonna make you drive the length of

1376
01:12:18,600 --> 01:12:20,679
Speaker 13: the field and we're going to keep everything. And teams

1377
01:12:20,680 --> 01:12:24,400
Speaker 13: are very much so abiding by that philosophy. And we

1378
01:12:24,560 --> 01:12:28,240
Speaker 13: still see way too many offenses in the NFL line

1379
01:12:28,280 --> 01:12:30,879
Speaker 13: their quarterbacks up in shotgun play.

1380
01:12:30,720 --> 01:12:33,720
Speaker 14: With speed on the field only, and it's dink and

1381
01:12:33,840 --> 01:12:34,559
Speaker 14: dunk offense.

1382
01:12:34,680 --> 01:12:36,360
Speaker 13: And they think that they're going to be good at

1383
01:12:36,439 --> 01:12:39,120
Speaker 13: that over four quarters and you might have a driver

1384
01:12:39,240 --> 01:12:41,519
Speaker 13: or two out of it if you don't put your

1385
01:12:41,600 --> 01:12:44,240
Speaker 13: quarterback under center more than you did years ago, and

1386
01:12:44,360 --> 01:12:46,800
Speaker 13: if you don't change your personnel that bigger bodies on

1387
01:12:47,320 --> 01:12:49,720
Speaker 13: and try to make sure that you run defenses out

1388
01:12:49,760 --> 01:12:51,400
Speaker 13: of that Steve. You know that you got to run

1389
01:12:51,640 --> 01:12:54,320
Speaker 13: defenses out of that to bring another person down where

1390
01:12:54,360 --> 01:12:56,120
Speaker 13: you have to play action them out of that. I've

1391
01:12:56,200 --> 01:12:59,360
Speaker 13: said that, and teams just aren't willing to do it

1392
01:12:59,479 --> 01:13:02,519
Speaker 13: right now. And I think that's it's it's a thing

1393
01:13:02,600 --> 01:13:04,519
Speaker 13: that's sweeping across the NFL for sure.

1394
01:13:04,840 --> 01:13:05,040
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1395
01:13:05,360 --> 01:13:07,800
Speaker 2: I remember having you on last year, Dan, that you

1396
01:13:07,840 --> 01:13:10,360
Speaker 2: were banging that play action drum with from under center

1397
01:13:10,520 --> 01:13:12,680
Speaker 2: time and time again. I saw the Bills do it

1398
01:13:12,720 --> 01:13:14,720
Speaker 2: a little bit last week. Hopefully there's more of that

1399
01:13:14,840 --> 01:13:15,120
Speaker 2: to come.

1400
01:13:15,280 --> 01:13:17,600
Speaker 1: How much of how much of this pistol is to

1401
01:13:17,800 --> 01:13:19,920
Speaker 1: alleviates a little bit of the under center thing.

1402
01:13:21,200 --> 01:13:23,840
Speaker 14: So here's my thing with the pistol, I get I got.

1403
01:13:23,960 --> 01:13:25,760
Speaker 13: I got into this with someone the other day about

1404
01:13:25,760 --> 01:13:28,000
Speaker 13: Atlanta because Atlanta lined up in gun and shotgum the

1405
01:13:28,000 --> 01:13:28,360
Speaker 13: whole time.

1406
01:13:29,080 --> 01:13:34,280
Speaker 14: The pistol I think presents the ability to try and

1407
01:13:34,439 --> 01:13:35,120
Speaker 14: do a lot of.

1408
01:13:35,120 --> 01:13:37,840
Speaker 13: The stuff that was under center. I still don't think

1409
01:13:37,880 --> 01:13:41,080
Speaker 13: it allows the tailback to get his shoulder square downhill.

1410
01:13:41,439 --> 01:13:45,120
Speaker 13: I still don't think it allows the defense to see

1411
01:13:45,680 --> 01:13:48,120
Speaker 13: stuff at the same level. Like when you're a quarterback

1412
01:13:48,160 --> 01:13:50,640
Speaker 13: and you're under center and I get that snap and

1413
01:13:50,720 --> 01:13:53,280
Speaker 13: I open up left or open up right, that defense

1414
01:13:53,280 --> 01:13:55,400
Speaker 13: has got to come flat down the line of scrimmage

1415
01:13:55,439 --> 01:13:58,360
Speaker 13: and it's really hard for them to see that ball.

1416
01:13:58,520 --> 01:14:00,960
Speaker 13: Now it happens a little bit the pistol, I just

1417
01:14:01,080 --> 01:14:06,040
Speaker 13: don't my opinion, I don't think it shows the same way. Obviously,

1418
01:14:06,200 --> 01:14:08,560
Speaker 13: Miami's mastered being in the gun a lot too, but

1419
01:14:09,040 --> 01:14:11,360
Speaker 13: that's because of some of the speed and the motions

1420
01:14:11,400 --> 01:14:13,200
Speaker 13: that they've implemented to their offense.

1421
01:14:13,640 --> 01:14:15,000
Speaker 14: The Rams can do it a little bit.

1422
01:14:16,800 --> 01:14:20,080
Speaker 13: The pistol, I think is I guess if you're unwilling

1423
01:14:20,200 --> 01:14:22,040
Speaker 13: to go under center and you want to be in

1424
01:14:22,160 --> 01:14:24,679
Speaker 13: some form of the gun, it's the marriage in between.

1425
01:14:25,640 --> 01:14:28,439
Speaker 13: I just don't think the defenses respect it nearly as

1426
01:14:28,600 --> 01:14:31,040
Speaker 13: much as under center stuff.

1427
01:14:31,680 --> 01:14:33,640
Speaker 2: Dan, thanks for the time, as always, we appreciate it.

1428
01:14:33,680 --> 01:14:34,880
Speaker 2: We'll catch up with you next week.

01:14:46,000 --> 01:14:50,080
Speaker 2: than maybe even Greg Cosel. That would be now we're talking,

1434
01:14:50,760 --> 01:14:54,160
Speaker 2: we should have those two guys log their time on

1435

Speaker 2: Here at eight oh three, five fifty hits, some people

1452
01:16:03,320 --> 01:16:06,760
Speaker 2: waiting patiently, and we go next to Rex in Springville.

1453
01:16:06,760 --> 01:16:07,200
Speaker 2: What do you off for?

1454
01:16:07,240 --> 01:16:11,280
Speaker 17: As Rex asking gentlemen, I just have a hard time.

1455
01:16:11,560 --> 01:16:13,400
Speaker 17: I usually call in and I am very critical of

1456
01:16:13,760 --> 01:16:18,680
Speaker 17: our coaching staff. But to listen to you guys sit

1457
01:16:18,760 --> 01:16:21,559
Speaker 17: here and say, well, you know, it's not the coach's

1458
01:16:21,600 --> 01:16:23,519
Speaker 17: fault that Josh, you know, held onto the ball too

1459
01:16:23,560 --> 01:16:25,719
Speaker 17: long and there was a mistackle. So what the players

1460
01:16:25,800 --> 01:16:27,760
Speaker 17: have to be beats and they have to play the

1461
01:16:27,800 --> 01:16:30,120
Speaker 17: game of football. And the next let's say, did you

1462
01:16:30,160 --> 01:16:32,080
Speaker 17: see one of an amazing job our coaching staff did

1463
01:16:32,160 --> 01:16:35,360
Speaker 17: in the second half to readjust our defense. If it's

1464
01:16:36,000 --> 01:16:38,479
Speaker 17: not the player's fault on offense, then it's not the

1465
01:16:38,560 --> 01:16:39,160
Speaker 17: coaching all.

1466
01:16:39,040 --> 01:16:40,559
Speaker 1: Right, Rex, Let me just tell let me just break

1467
01:16:40,600 --> 01:16:43,080
Speaker 1: you off. Let me right here. Let yeah, let me

1468
01:16:43,200 --> 01:16:45,400
Speaker 1: just explain it to you, because you're not getting it.

1469
01:16:46,640 --> 01:16:49,040
Speaker 1: When a guy gets when a guy gets hit in

1470
01:16:49,120 --> 01:16:52,960
Speaker 1: the pocket off of blitz or whatever, when you got

1471
01:16:53,000 --> 01:16:54,599
Speaker 1: a hat on a hat, which is what I said,

1472
01:16:55,720 --> 01:16:59,880
Speaker 1: and somebody gets beat, you think the coaching staff put

1473
01:17:00,080 --> 01:17:03,320
Speaker 1: a guy on the you think the coaching staff is

1474
01:17:03,360 --> 01:17:06,840
Speaker 1: the one getting beat. It's the player. And now you're

1475
01:17:06,880 --> 01:17:08,599
Speaker 1: telling me this when they come out on the second

1476
01:17:08,640 --> 01:17:11,320
Speaker 1: half and they do their defensive front and their schemes

1477
01:17:11,400 --> 01:17:15,360
Speaker 1: completely differently that the players came up with that. What

1478
01:17:15,479 --> 01:17:16,479
Speaker 1: are your what are you saying?

1479
01:17:17,479 --> 01:17:20,320
Speaker 11: What I'm What I'm saying is you can say the

1480
01:17:20,439 --> 01:17:25,000
Speaker 11: scheme isn't the offense isn't our coaching staff's fault on offense? Well,

1481
01:17:25,080 --> 01:17:28,160
Speaker 11: how about this. When the defensive player breaks a tackle,

1482
01:17:28,320 --> 01:17:30,920
Speaker 11: misses a block, does whatever, and makes a tackle, it's

1483
01:17:30,960 --> 01:17:33,200
Speaker 11: not coaching, it's not scheme, it's the player. The same

1484
01:17:33,240 --> 01:17:37,120
Speaker 11: way you're telling me on offense, if someone misses a block,

1485
01:17:37,240 --> 01:17:39,479
Speaker 11: is the player's fault on defense? In the second half,

1486
01:17:39,600 --> 01:17:42,920
Speaker 11: if players make plays, it's the players. It's the same thing.

1487
01:17:44,360 --> 01:17:48,160
Speaker 1: You're missing. You're missing the point. Rex. I'm sorry, you're

1488
01:17:48,160 --> 01:17:52,280
Speaker 1: missing the point. We're not talking about guys missing tackles

1489
01:17:52,320 --> 01:17:54,479
Speaker 1: on defense or any of that stuff. What we're talking

1490
01:17:54,520 --> 01:17:59,080
Speaker 1: about is the defensive signals that were called that caused

1491
01:17:59,120 --> 01:18:02,640
Speaker 1: them to run different defenses, that made them better and

1492
01:18:02,760 --> 01:18:06,280
Speaker 1: made the Cardinals worse. What happened was in the first half,

1493
01:18:06,320 --> 01:18:08,960
Speaker 1: they rushed four guys and they didn't send too many

1494
01:18:09,040 --> 01:18:11,880
Speaker 1: extra people. In the second half, they did send extra people,

1495
01:18:11,920 --> 01:18:14,479
Speaker 1: and that was the difference, and and and and.

1496
01:18:14,560 --> 01:18:16,680
Speaker 11: To start a football game when you don't have a

1497
01:18:16,720 --> 01:18:19,880
Speaker 11: great game plan, it's not it's not the offense's fault.

1498
01:18:20,640 --> 01:18:23,920
Speaker 11: We talked about the reason that we came out sloppy

1499
01:18:23,960 --> 01:18:26,400
Speaker 11: is because they didn't play a lot in preseason and

1500
01:18:26,479 --> 01:18:29,360
Speaker 11: it's Week one. Well, guess what, Kyler Murray didn't play

1501
01:18:29,439 --> 01:18:33,240
Speaker 11: one play in the preseason. They came out firing, looking amazing.

1502
01:18:34,479 --> 01:18:37,200
Speaker 1: So did our offense. Our offense was ripping through the

1503
01:18:37,360 --> 01:18:42,519
Speaker 1: Cardinals offense defense like like butter. We were doing the

1504
01:18:42,600 --> 01:18:45,920
Speaker 1: exact same thing that Arizona was doing to the Bills. Offensively,

1505
01:18:47,200 --> 01:18:48,960
Speaker 1: we threw the ball two times in the first quarter.

1506
01:18:49,320 --> 01:18:52,920
Speaker 1: Who cares they were ripping. Don't throw the ball at all.

1507
01:18:53,080 --> 01:18:55,559
Speaker 1: If you're ripping five and seven yard runs every single

1508
01:18:55,600 --> 01:18:57,200
Speaker 1: time you hand it off, what's your point.

1509
01:18:57,360 --> 01:19:00,120
Speaker 11: So so you think it's a good idea, not they

1510
01:19:00,160 --> 01:19:01,400
Speaker 11: have Josh Allen to play football.

1511
01:19:02,600 --> 01:19:03,320
Speaker 2: He didn't say that.

1512
01:19:03,520 --> 01:19:05,160
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, he's not saying that.

1513
01:19:05,360 --> 01:19:09,280
Speaker 2: Rec You're talking a little too. Here's the problem, Rex,

1514
01:19:09,320 --> 01:19:12,560
Speaker 2: the fundamental problem is you're talking too much in absolutes

1515
01:19:12,960 --> 01:19:16,000
Speaker 2: and there's too many variables in football. To talk that

1516
01:19:16,160 --> 01:19:18,760
Speaker 2: way about the game and to think that way about

1517
01:19:18,800 --> 01:19:22,320
Speaker 2: the game, it's not that way. There are too many variables.

1518
01:19:22,680 --> 01:19:25,240
Speaker 2: The only point Steve was trying to make was that

1519
01:19:26,040 --> 01:19:29,280
Speaker 2: when there is a man on man situation and a

1520
01:19:29,360 --> 01:19:34,679
Speaker 2: player is beat, that is not coaching. It's physical failure

1521
01:19:34,880 --> 01:19:39,080
Speaker 2: on a play. And so if that player fails physically

1522
01:19:39,280 --> 01:19:42,720
Speaker 2: enough and they can't handle that assignment, yes it's time

1523
01:19:42,760 --> 01:19:45,120
Speaker 2: for a coach to step in and fix it. Whether

1524
01:19:45,240 --> 01:19:48,080
Speaker 2: that player needs help chipping from a tight end or

1525
01:19:48,160 --> 01:19:50,280
Speaker 2: something like that, that's when coaching has to step in.

1526
01:19:50,439 --> 01:19:55,720
Speaker 2: But fundamentally, it's a player shortcoming. It's a player. It's

1527
01:19:55,800 --> 01:19:58,439
Speaker 2: on the player that the reason the play failed, and

1528
01:19:58,520 --> 01:20:00,519
Speaker 2: then you have to take another step and try to

1529
01:20:00,640 --> 01:20:03,360
Speaker 2: put them in a position to succeed. That's the coaching element.

1530
01:20:03,760 --> 01:20:06,720
Speaker 2: And then Steve was just saying in the second half

1531
01:20:06,760 --> 01:20:10,479
Speaker 2: with the defense that they changed the scheme dramatically in

1532
01:20:10,640 --> 01:20:13,120
Speaker 2: terms of the looks and instead of playing a man

1533
01:20:13,240 --> 01:20:16,240
Speaker 2: on a man, they sent extra guys so they could

1534
01:20:16,320 --> 01:20:22,240
Speaker 2: be successful, and they were. But to singularly say it's coaching.

1535
01:20:23,640 --> 01:20:25,920
Speaker 2: You can't speak in absolutes about the game of football

1536
01:20:25,960 --> 01:20:30,960
Speaker 2: that way. It's just too complex a game to simply uniformly,

1537
01:20:31,240 --> 01:20:35,280
Speaker 2: unilaterally say every problem that a football team has is coaching.

1538
01:20:35,760 --> 01:20:38,439
Speaker 2: It's it's it's just not accurate.

1539
01:20:38,800 --> 01:20:39,320
Speaker 1: It's just not.

1540
01:20:41,200 --> 01:20:44,160
Speaker 2: So that that's the issue. I think as to why

1541
01:20:44,240 --> 01:20:46,080
Speaker 2: you guys were not seeing eye to eye on that,

1542
01:20:47,000 --> 01:20:49,679
Speaker 2: we do have to go to the post practice podium,

1543
01:20:50,280 --> 01:20:52,800
Speaker 2: Josh Allen addressing the media, will see how his hand

1544
01:20:52,920 --> 01:20:54,200
Speaker 2: is doing. So let's go there now.

1545
01:20:56,000 --> 01:20:57,680
Speaker 7: No, No, that just.

1546
01:20:59,320 --> 01:21:02,479
Speaker 10: It's trying to be is is almost possible. I felt

1547
01:21:02,520 --> 01:21:04,880
Speaker 10: like a throw it well today and was able to

1548
01:21:04,920 --> 01:21:09,280
Speaker 10: do all the things, so ready to go. I've done

1549
01:21:09,320 --> 01:21:11,599
Speaker 10: it a long time ago, a couple of a couple

1550
01:21:11,600 --> 01:21:15,559
Speaker 10: of cold games, and so it's not anything that's completely

1551
01:21:15,640 --> 01:21:18,800
Speaker 10: new to me. But just there for a little a

1552
01:21:18,840 --> 01:21:23,240
Speaker 10: little extra help. We'll see. I'm not quite sure yet.

1553
01:21:24,880 --> 01:21:26,519
Speaker 8: So playing me has been a team you guys have

1554
01:21:26,600 --> 01:21:27,439
Speaker 8: had a lot of successes.

1555
01:21:27,520 --> 01:21:33,160
Speaker 7: Yes, what what might be different this time around with

1556
01:21:33,240 --> 01:21:34,160
Speaker 7: their defense.

1557
01:21:33,840 --> 01:21:35,920
Speaker 8: From what you're seeing it so far around, Well.

1558
01:21:35,840 --> 01:21:37,439
Speaker 10: Obviously, I think they got a little bit of different

1559
01:21:37,479 --> 01:21:41,080
Speaker 10: personnel than they've had the last few years. Obviously bringing

1560
01:21:41,120 --> 01:21:44,479
Speaker 10: in a guy like Poe you know, miss that guy.

1561
01:21:44,560 --> 01:21:46,439
Speaker 10: He's a he's a leader, He's he's a leader for them.

1562
01:21:47,560 --> 01:21:50,240
Speaker 10: He's a very smart player. He knows a lot about

1563
01:21:50,280 --> 01:21:52,840
Speaker 10: this offense and a lot about me. So taking that

1564
01:21:52,960 --> 01:21:56,920
Speaker 10: into account, bringing the guy like Klais Campbell again, veteran

1565
01:21:57,040 --> 01:21:59,320
Speaker 10: leadership guys that are in the right spot, doing the

1566
01:21:59,400 --> 01:22:02,920
Speaker 10: right things, and a new new decordinator. So they're doing

1567
01:22:02,920 --> 01:22:05,360
Speaker 10: a little bit of things differently over there, the type

1568
01:22:05,360 --> 01:22:07,320
Speaker 10: of scheme that they're running. And they got some they

1569
01:22:07,360 --> 01:22:10,360
Speaker 10: got some playmakers over there. You know, Holland's playing some

1570
01:22:10,439 --> 01:22:12,559
Speaker 10: really good football. Had a really big play last week.

1571
01:22:13,560 --> 01:22:15,840
Speaker 10: We all know Jalen Ramsey got got paid to the

1572
01:22:15,920 --> 01:22:19,519
Speaker 10: high speed corner in the league for a reason. So, uh, again,

1573
01:22:19,560 --> 01:22:21,120
Speaker 10: they got some guys over there that we got to

1574
01:22:21,240 --> 01:22:23,439
Speaker 10: focus on and worry about. But at the same time,

1575
01:22:23,439 --> 01:22:25,960
Speaker 10: it's a short week. Gotta focus on what we do best.

1576
01:22:29,960 --> 01:22:39,200
Speaker 10: But he said the other way around, you know, I mean, yeah,

1577
01:22:39,280 --> 01:22:42,600
Speaker 10: but I think it's harder to know tendencies on on

1578
01:22:42,760 --> 01:22:53,200
Speaker 10: defensive on film and just try to uh game plan

1579
01:22:53,240 --> 01:22:55,960
Speaker 10: accordingly and then during the game we'll adjust.

1580
01:22:59,320 --> 01:23:00,600
Speaker 8: Audible whatever and.

1581
01:23:00,640 --> 01:23:05,360
Speaker 9: How changing anyway in a normal course of the.

1582
01:23:05,400 --> 01:23:08,880
Speaker 12: Season, because teams kind of get a feast.

1583
01:23:09,880 --> 01:23:12,000
Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean, I think we try to change it

1584
01:23:12,080 --> 01:23:14,160
Speaker 10: if if we know for sure people can hear it

1585
01:23:14,240 --> 01:23:18,479
Speaker 10: and it's been said enough where guys understand it in

1586
01:23:18,560 --> 01:23:20,479
Speaker 10: the heat of the battle. It's it's tough to do

1587
01:23:20,640 --> 01:23:22,120
Speaker 10: on a on the defensive side of the ball to

1588
01:23:22,320 --> 01:23:24,559
Speaker 10: know what the offense is calling and then to relay

1589
01:23:24,600 --> 01:23:26,360
Speaker 10: that to the coach then to switch into the right

1590
01:23:26,439 --> 01:23:30,800
Speaker 10: defense or the right personnel for that play. So again,

1591
01:23:30,840 --> 01:23:32,920
Speaker 10: we we just try to focus on what we can do.

1592
01:23:33,000 --> 01:23:34,880
Speaker 10: We don't really worry about what the other team is

1593
01:23:34,960 --> 01:23:38,599
Speaker 10: going to do in terms of what we call. Obviously,

1594
01:23:38,680 --> 01:23:40,360
Speaker 10: we think it's gonna be pretty loud there, it's gonna

1595
01:23:40,360 --> 01:23:42,000
Speaker 10: be on silent and making sure that we're really in

1596
01:23:42,040 --> 01:23:45,080
Speaker 10: the calls to each other. So I don't know if

1597
01:23:45,120 --> 01:23:47,519
Speaker 10: a defense can get a completely good read on what

1598
01:23:47,600 --> 01:23:49,880
Speaker 10: we're saying, but it's something we've got to be aware of.

1599
01:23:53,240 --> 01:23:53,880
Speaker 1: He can help out.

1600
01:23:53,880 --> 01:23:58,360
Speaker 10: I mean, obviously he played against that defense in training camp, uh,

1601
01:23:59,000 --> 01:24:02,120
Speaker 10: entire camp, so leaning on him and utilizing some of

1602
01:24:02,520 --> 01:24:05,320
Speaker 10: his knowledge. But at the same time, you know, we

1603
01:24:05,400 --> 01:24:07,160
Speaker 10: still got to go out there and play football.

1604
01:24:10,360 --> 01:24:13,519
Speaker 1: Mental perspective obviously, if you're using your hand on every play.

1605
01:24:13,479 --> 01:24:15,479
Speaker 19: Like how do you like not think about it, or

1606
01:24:15,560 --> 01:24:17,680
Speaker 19: like how do you approach like you know, when it's

1607
01:24:17,720 --> 01:24:19,719
Speaker 19: something like that's injured, like not putting any.

1608
01:24:19,600 --> 01:24:20,360
Speaker 8: Focus on from that.

1609
01:24:21,240 --> 01:24:23,320
Speaker 10: I mean, I think they're just saying that it's a

1610
01:24:23,360 --> 01:24:25,880
Speaker 10: long way from the heart. I like to said it's

1611
01:24:25,880 --> 01:24:26,960
Speaker 10: a long way from the right hand.

1612
01:24:27,080 --> 01:24:29,040
Speaker 16: So we're okay.

1613
01:24:30,400 --> 01:24:33,360
Speaker 14: In the off percess on the road in particular, in

1614
01:24:33,439 --> 01:24:35,200
Speaker 14: your opinion, out of likely.

1615
01:24:35,040 --> 01:24:36,200
Speaker 6: Some of that percess.

1616
01:24:37,880 --> 01:24:39,680
Speaker 10: The way that we're able to communicate I think our

1617
01:24:39,920 --> 01:24:43,479
Speaker 10: offensive game plan schematically, the things that we're able to

1618
01:24:43,560 --> 01:24:46,040
Speaker 10: do on a short week because of the stuff that

1619
01:24:46,080 --> 01:24:48,560
Speaker 10: we've put in through training camp. The stuff that is

1620
01:24:48,640 --> 01:24:53,960
Speaker 10: in our i guess standard game plan that we can

1621
01:24:54,000 --> 01:24:56,720
Speaker 10: call it any time is pretty exotic and some of

1622
01:24:56,760 --> 01:24:59,280
Speaker 10: the things that we can do on the ball helps

1623
01:24:59,360 --> 01:25:00,479
Speaker 10: us out in that that area.

1624
01:25:02,560 --> 01:25:06,519
Speaker 7: Everybody teams going into this seasons, how how much war

1625
01:25:06,600 --> 01:25:08,960
Speaker 7: does the offense need to be refined after what we

1626
01:25:09,120 --> 01:25:13,479
Speaker 7: saw on Sunday and or and how close might that

1627
01:25:13,640 --> 01:25:16,960
Speaker 7: be to the Blue clint getting nine players involved, nine

1628
01:25:17,000 --> 01:25:18,439
Speaker 7: receivers involved might.

1629
01:25:18,479 --> 01:25:20,360
Speaker 10: Might be to what your vision is Yeah, I think

1630
01:25:20,360 --> 01:25:22,439
Speaker 10: that's what we want to see is making sure that

1631
01:25:22,680 --> 01:25:25,880
Speaker 10: different guys are getting different touches, and that means guys

1632
01:25:25,920 --> 01:25:28,000
Speaker 10: are in different spots, but at the same time doing

1633
01:25:28,040 --> 01:25:31,600
Speaker 10: their job getting open catching the ball, you know.

1634
01:25:31,720 --> 01:25:32,760
Speaker 4: But in terms of.

1635
01:25:32,800 --> 01:25:35,639
Speaker 10: Operation, you know, we had a bunch of false starts

1636
01:25:35,680 --> 01:25:37,800
Speaker 10: and got to clean that up, got to clean up

1637
01:25:37,840 --> 01:25:42,439
Speaker 10: some of the penalties. Again, getting the play call in

1638
01:25:42,479 --> 01:25:44,720
Speaker 10: as quickly as possible, especially on the road, and me

1639
01:25:45,600 --> 01:25:48,120
Speaker 10: getting that out to the team and making adjustments in

1640
01:25:48,200 --> 01:25:50,679
Speaker 10: a timely matter. So it all goes hand in hand,

1641
01:25:50,760 --> 01:25:53,240
Speaker 10: and it takes eleven guys out there to to produce

1642
01:25:53,280 --> 01:25:54,920
Speaker 10: a really good product, and that's what we're trying to do.

1643
01:25:56,920 --> 01:25:58,000
Speaker 15: How much focus on.

1644
01:26:00,520 --> 01:26:00,960
Speaker 1: Quite a bit.

1645
01:26:01,040 --> 01:26:03,320
Speaker 10: I mean, there's a few plays where he's got four

1646
01:26:03,400 --> 01:26:07,320
Speaker 10: or five guys surrounding him, so that's nothing new to

1647
01:26:07,439 --> 01:26:10,920
Speaker 10: us in terms of teams trying to take away a weapon.

1648
01:26:11,240 --> 01:26:13,880
Speaker 10: But again, I think with the mindset that we talked

1649
01:26:13,880 --> 01:26:17,160
Speaker 10: about earlier about the everybody eats is you know, if

1650
01:26:17,200 --> 01:26:19,879
Speaker 10: he's taken away two or three guys, that means somebody's

1651
01:26:19,920 --> 01:26:22,240
Speaker 10: probably open, since it's my job to go find the

1652
01:26:22,280 --> 01:26:24,400
Speaker 10: open guy, all.

1653
01:26:24,280 --> 01:26:26,559
Speaker 2: Right, So that's Josh Allen addressing the media. I'm basically

1654
01:26:26,680 --> 01:26:29,519
Speaker 2: saying his injured left hand is good to go. It's

1655
01:26:29,560 --> 01:26:31,320
Speaker 2: gonna be fine, he said. It's a long way from

1656
01:26:31,360 --> 01:26:34,760
Speaker 2: my right hand, so we're good. I don't know that

1657
01:26:34,840 --> 01:26:36,360
Speaker 2: it will be in the game when you're patting a

1658
01:26:36,400 --> 01:26:38,080
Speaker 2: ball together with your two hands.

1659
01:26:38,160 --> 01:26:39,800
Speaker 1: I mean, ball security is always an issue when you

1660
01:26:39,840 --> 01:26:40,880
Speaker 1: get stuff like that going on.

1661
01:26:41,120 --> 01:26:44,160
Speaker 2: He wore a glove at practice today. It appeared as

1662
01:26:44,200 --> 01:26:46,360
Speaker 2: though there was some padding on the glove as well.

1663
01:26:47,200 --> 01:26:49,599
Speaker 2: He said he hasn't decided yet whether he will wear

1664
01:26:49,640 --> 01:26:52,680
Speaker 2: a glove in the game. I would imagine if his

1665
01:26:52,840 --> 01:26:56,120
Speaker 2: hand hurts where his finger strength isn't great, he may

1666
01:26:56,240 --> 01:26:58,519
Speaker 2: want that glove for some extra grip on the ball

1667
01:26:58,560 --> 01:26:59,760
Speaker 2: when he has to turn and hand it.

1668
01:26:59,800 --> 01:27:03,160
Speaker 1: All right, that's right. Those gloves are tech. The tech

1669
01:27:03,240 --> 01:27:06,280
Speaker 1: on the gloves is really good. And that's why you

1670
01:27:06,320 --> 01:27:08,800
Speaker 1: see guys these days, some running backs not so much

1671
01:27:09,479 --> 01:27:11,840
Speaker 1: can catch the ball one handed, carry it like a

1672
01:27:11,920 --> 01:27:13,560
Speaker 1: loaf of bread, when it would yet used to be

1673
01:27:13,600 --> 01:27:17,479
Speaker 1: a huge no no. Now the grip is so good

1674
01:27:17,520 --> 01:27:20,000
Speaker 1: on those gloves. It's it gives you.

1675
01:27:20,080 --> 01:27:22,800
Speaker 2: Some people I think maybe if they don't pay close

1676
01:27:22,880 --> 01:27:24,559
Speaker 2: enough attention. Sometimes you have to hand the ball off

1677
01:27:24,600 --> 01:27:26,040
Speaker 2: with your left hand. Sometimes you have to hand it

1678
01:27:26,080 --> 01:27:27,439
Speaker 2: off with your right hand, like depending on.

1679
01:27:27,479 --> 01:27:29,360
Speaker 1: Your turn of ball. Secure. Yeah, you got to handle

1680
01:27:29,400 --> 01:27:33,559
Speaker 1: the ball well with both hands. And it's it's got

1681
01:27:33,720 --> 01:27:35,360
Speaker 1: to be a question mark until we see otherwise.

1682
01:27:35,760 --> 01:27:37,880
Speaker 2: Break time for us here when we come back, some

1683

1689
01:28:07,560 --> 01:28:07,800

01:28:14,160 --> 01:28:15,160
Speaker 4: Okay, yeah, go ahead?

1693
01:28:17,840 --> 01:28:18,160
Speaker 16: Perfect.

1694
01:28:18,400 --> 01:28:21,120
Speaker 19: I was last Friday. I was an event in the stadium.

1695
01:28:22,360 --> 01:28:24,040
Speaker 19: I may be a guy who's got forty or fifty

1696
01:28:24,080 --> 01:28:27,120
Speaker 19: cons too much, but I walked through that stadium.

1697
01:28:27,439 --> 01:28:28,320
Speaker 4: The heat that.

1698
01:28:28,479 --> 01:28:32,599
Speaker 19: Emanated from that ground. Thank god we have a night game.

1699
01:28:32,840 --> 01:28:34,920
Speaker 19: That was the hottest I've ever been in my life.

1700
01:28:35,040 --> 01:28:37,400
Speaker 19: I always thought I could return to Florida, not anymore.

1701
01:28:37,800 --> 01:28:40,200
Speaker 19: It was so hot in that stadium.

1702
01:28:40,680 --> 01:28:43,599
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, they are fortunate that it is a night game.

1703
01:28:43,640 --> 01:28:46,120
Speaker 2: It'll still be a little muggy. The forecast is if

1704
01:28:46,200 --> 01:28:48,280
Speaker 2: for to be about eighty one degrees at kickoff.

1705
01:28:48,360 --> 01:28:52,439
Speaker 1: It's a wit no sun. It's in direct response to

1706
01:28:52,520 --> 01:28:54,320
Speaker 1: the game that was there a couple three years ago

1707
01:28:54,360 --> 01:28:57,120
Speaker 1: when Bill's you know, were at a disadvantage because of

1708
01:28:57,160 --> 01:29:00,680
Speaker 1: the weather. It's one thing to come up and be

1709
01:29:00,840 --> 01:29:05,120
Speaker 1: cold and kind of thing, but when one team is

1710
01:29:05,240 --> 01:29:09,360
Speaker 1: baking in the sun, baking and the other team isn't.

1711
01:29:09,520 --> 01:29:12,680
Speaker 1: When it's in the eighties on one sideline and the

1712
01:29:12,680 --> 01:29:15,599
Speaker 1: one hundred and twenties on the other sideline, it's an

1713
01:29:15,640 --> 01:29:19,080
Speaker 1: issue for a level playing field. So the league did

1714
01:29:19,160 --> 01:29:21,760
Speaker 1: something about put the game at night, and you know,

1715
01:29:21,880 --> 01:29:23,800
Speaker 1: that's I think it's a direct response in that, and

1716
01:29:23,920 --> 01:29:26,880
Speaker 1: I'm surprised that it hasn't happened before. But now that

1717
01:29:27,000 --> 01:29:30,720
Speaker 1: the the stadium has been refurbished again and they've got

1718
01:29:30,800 --> 01:29:35,439
Speaker 1: that canpy on it, it's it's become different. It's become

1719
01:29:35,479 --> 01:29:36,400
Speaker 1: different for both teams.

1720
01:29:36,479 --> 01:29:39,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, So fortunately the sun won't be a factor in

1721
01:29:39,280 --> 01:29:42,080
Speaker 2: the game, and hopefully that helps in terms of keeping

1722
01:29:42,080 --> 01:29:44,720
Speaker 2: guys high traded. I am traveling with the team to

1723
01:29:44,800 --> 01:29:47,040
Speaker 2: South Florida tomorrow, so Maddie in for me with Steve
