00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:42,040

10
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:44,080

Speaker 1: for Stephen Housgill kicked his on the way and it

29
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 1: is good and the Bills are on the board. Josh

30
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 1: Allen is down on one knee at the forty seven

31
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 1: yard line. Took a big hit from Jadeveon Clowney. So

32
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 1: it's Nathan Peterman for the first time since Baltimore. The

33
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 1: Bills catch him with a fifty two yard depon house

34
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:49,160

Speaker 1: came out. Peterman looks to throw stands in the pocket,

41
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:06,360

43
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:12,600

44
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 1: take the lead on a fifteen yard touchdown path. It's

45
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 1: a twenty seven yard field goal attempt for Kami fairbar

46
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 1: for the tie. The kick is up and the kick

47
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 1: is good. The game is time. With a minute thirty

48
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 1: four left to play. Peterman walks up to the line,

49
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:29,320

Speaker 1: Help the Texans to just twenty points in this game

55
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 1: of Bills. Talk about a limited offense. Just thirteen points

56
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:50,519
Speaker 1: on the scoreboard for the Buffalo Bills. Fid here you go,

57
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 1: twenty thirteen. That's our game. Rewind presented by Toshibi, the

58
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 1: official copy or company of the Buffalo Bills. Good afternoon,

59
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:58,639
Speaker 1: Welcome to the show, John Murphy, steam tasker, here in

60
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 1: our one Buffalo studio, getting ready for it, our show

61
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 1: where I'm the air from now untill three One Bill's

62
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 1: Live from One Bill's Drive. A very disappointing the afternoon, folks,

63
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 1: Folks you listening. MURF took that loss hard. I took

64
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,239
Speaker 1: it hard. Still taking it hard. Yeah, And I can't

65
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:15,079
Speaker 1: even talk. That was a hard loss. And I, for me,

66
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 1: I was, I was listening and kind of keeping track

67
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:19,359
Speaker 1: of it. We had a four to twenty five game.

68
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 1: I did the Tennessee Titan Baltimore Raven game kicked off

69
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:23,799
Speaker 1: at four twenty five Eastern, so I had a chance

70
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 1: to at least try and keep up with the Bills

71
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:31,240
Speaker 1: Texans game. And for me, and I'm in the minority,

72
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,959
Speaker 1: I know that I was. It was an encouraging loss

73
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 1: for me. The defense was dominant again. In fact, it

74
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 1: was it got better from a great performance the week before,

75
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 1: and it played even better this last week against Houston.

76
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 1: If you if you don't muff a punt, if you

77
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 1: don't get a punt block, if you don't take a

78
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:54,119
Speaker 1: stupid pre snap penalties for the Bills. Oh yeah, he's

79
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 1: lining up offensively and you're you win that game going away.

80
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 1: Your defense doesn't give up any points. That and the

81
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 1: reason these games are so tough to take it because

82
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 1: you should have won. Yeah, that's the that's the horrible

83
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 1: part of it. It is a game should have one. Yeah,

84
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 1: you're good enough to win that with no offense. We're

85
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 1: not used to seeing teams play defense a well and

86
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 1: coming up with the loss. I mean, the Bills are

87
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,280
Speaker 1: playing defense as well as just about anybody in the

88
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:23,799
Speaker 1: league right now. Seven sacks, three takeaways, number of tackles

89
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 1: for losses, great coverage all over the field. You played

90
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:29,480
Speaker 1: great defense like that. Typically you're gonna win if you

91
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:31,720
Speaker 1: can get anything out of your offense. The problem is

92
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:34,840
Speaker 1: the Bills get nothing out of their offense. They get nothing.

93
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 1: And the Steve pointed out the special team's problems. You're

94
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 1: not they're not good enough to overcome muff punts and

95
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 1: block punts. Uh, they're not good enough to overcome twelve penalties.

96
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:47,839
Speaker 1: Twelve penalties, Yeah, number of pre snap penalties. And on offense,

97
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 1: that's just taking bad They're just playing bad aff and

98
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:51,840
Speaker 1: they gotta play and they gotta give themselves a chance.

99
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 1: They had one, you know, and you always go back

100
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 1: to this, you have that one player, this one play

101
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 1: that goes bad your way, and it kind of has

102
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:00,600
Speaker 1: that ripple effect I always talk about. And then you

103
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,480
Speaker 1: have that one play maybe it's gonna go great. Josh

104
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 1: Allen hits Helvin Benjamin a forty two yard and it

105
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 1: comes back because you're not even lined up right. I mean,

106
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:10,600
Speaker 1: it makes you, It makes you want to scream. I mean,

107
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 1: what are you doing? And how do you let a

108
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,720
Speaker 1: guy block a punt? And now you you know, hm,

109
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 1: muffing a punt. This stuff like that is just it's crazy.

110
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 1: But that's where the Bills are. If you win the

111
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 1: way they could, if you win on defense the way

112
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:27,040
Speaker 1: they did it, they were so dominating. All you had

113
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 1: to really do was get a push on special teams,

114
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:34,039
Speaker 1: and they couldn't do that. Housechood was good again. I mean,

115
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 1: hen't missing the kicks, but he didn't get enough opportunities.

116
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:39,360
Speaker 1: And then you know, you come back and you drop

117
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:42,280
Speaker 1: a game like that. Josh Allen coming out of the game.

118
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:45,360
Speaker 1: I mean the throw Peterman had for the pick, I mean,

119
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:47,360
Speaker 1: for the touchdown was a nice throw and it looked

120
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 1: like why, and I thought, Wow, that's it, it's gonna

121
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 1: that's gonna do it. And then you know you have

122
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 1: another um. You know, you give up the they give

123
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 1: up the pass interference. Good call by the way, Yeah, yeah,

124
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 1: I have a problem with that. But this is a

125
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:04,559
Speaker 1: game that's frustrating really from the standpoint as you should

126
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 1: have this one, you should have won. You should be

127
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 1: three and three. Yep, it should be three and three,

128
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 1: and you're not. You're two and four. Now you're you know,

129
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 1: you're climbing out of a hole. Another road game coming

130

145
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 1: We don't know which way it's going. We don't know.

146
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 1: We have no updates on Josh Allen's status in rappaport.

147
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:59,000

150
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 1: Bills start at quarterback? What do you think? Pretty simple question?

151
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 1: Who did they start a quarterback? If Josh Allen is healthy,

152
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 1: did they go back to Josh Allen? Or is it

153
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 1: time to give Josh Allen, you know, a break? I

154
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 1: guess and see if Annesley could do something for you.

155
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 1: Give us a call, let's know what you think. Eight

156
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 1: oh three five fifty toll free one eight eight eight

157
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 1: live fifty two five fifty or a way in via Twitter.

158
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 1: If Josh Allen is healthy, who did the Bills start

159
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 1: a quarterback? It's a tough call. See if he's healthy, though,

160
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 1: I'm going with Josh Allen. Look, I'm committed to the

161
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:37,840
Speaker 1: development program they've set up for Josh Allen. I know

162
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 1: it's been tough. We'll talk with dan Orlowski about it,

163
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 1: what he sees both good and bad from Josh Allen.

164
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 1: But if he is healthy, I'd go back to Josh

165
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 1: Allen to start this Sunday at India. I really would. Yeah,

166
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 1: I agree, and I've said that from the very beginning.

167
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 1: If you get into a point and they and they,

168
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 1: this wasn't the plan. I mean, you didn't. And it

169
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 1: seems anytime you say anything about Nathan Peterman these days,

170
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 1: it sounds crazy to say you were going to think

171
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 1: of anything, that he's gonna play anything bad. But you

172
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 1: wanted Josh Allen to sit and wait for a while

173
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 1: before he played. You had to play him way before

174
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 1: you were ready to play him, or way before he

175
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 1: was ready. And he's and you got to learn on

176
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 1: the job. You knew they were gonna be dark days

177
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:14,240
Speaker 1: like this and this is what you're gonna have to

178
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:16,880
Speaker 1: live through. But I said, once you made the decision

179
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 1: to start and play Josh Allen, do not take him

180
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 1: off the field unless he's injured. You gotta let him

181
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:24,680
Speaker 1: in there and fight him in the problem then becomes

182
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 1: keeping him mentally healthy, keeping him on the straight in there,

183
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,599
Speaker 1: keeping him positive, keeping him like, okay, it's okay. Just

184
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 1: keep playing and getting better. Work on your work on

185
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 1: your deficiencies. Learn more about the offense, learn more about

186
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 1: what they're trying to do against you, deficient defensively, be

187
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 1: more patient in the pocket, all the things that you've

188
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:48,719
Speaker 1: got to do, and take your time, you know. And

189
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 1: like he came out of the box, he came up

190
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 1: out of the box yesterday. There was that quick slant

191
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:58,319
Speaker 1: to to Calvin Benjamin and it bounces it. It's like

192
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 1: a ten yards throw. Any bounces it to him? Who

193
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:03,199
Speaker 1: take a deep breath, man, take a deep breath. And

194
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 1: that's you know, that's just a young guy coming out

195
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:08,599
Speaker 1: full of adrenaline and not you know, not taking a

196
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 1: deep breath before he actually pulls the trigger. And so

197
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 1: he got better a little bit. He got a little better,

198
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:14,679
Speaker 1: you know, after that. But still, you know, that's what

199
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 1: you're looking at. You're looking at a guy who's trying

200
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 1: to do it all himself with every throw, and he

201
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 1: got to be more patient and understand you know and

202
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:23,960
Speaker 1: understand what's going on a little better than that. They

203
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 1: need to coach him too, and I would commit to him,

204
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 1: and I know they have committed to him. If he's healthy,

205
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 1: I'd stay with him starting a quarterback against the Colts.

206
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 1: I'm intrigued by this concept of ruining a young quarterback,

207
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:36,200
Speaker 1: and everybody says, well, Derek Carr, We're gonna ask Dan

208
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 1: or Lofsky about that. What constitutes ruining a young quarterback?

209
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 1: How does that happen? I don't know. I mean, I know,

210
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:44,199
Speaker 1: I see the numbers on Derek Carr. I don't. I

211
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 1: wasn't following, you know the way I thinking David Cards.

212
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:49,680
Speaker 1: When I'm thinking David Carr in Houston, I don't recall

213
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:52,839
Speaker 1: following the Houston Texans that much in death back. Then

214
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 1: clearly David Carr struggled. I don't. That's the example everybody

215
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 1: points to, like, well, don't ruin him, like the Texans

216
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 1: ruined David Carr. Well, I don't know how that happened.

217
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:03,200
Speaker 1: And I'm intrigued, and I need to know more about

218
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:05,080
Speaker 1: how a quarterback has ruined. What do we talk about

219
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:07,199
Speaker 1: seventy two times in his first year. I get that

220
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 1: and Josh's I'm targeted to get. I think the difference

221
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:12,559
Speaker 1: is that is it sacks is just sacks that you

222
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 1: worry about. You kind of know every team and every

223
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:18,080
Speaker 1: situation that every quarterback has ever been in has been unique.

224
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 1: Josh Allen is different than Sam Darnold and Josh Rosen

225
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 1: and those guys. This year. He's different than Patrick Mahomes

226
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 1: last year. His situation is different. Every situation is different.

227
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 1: And even you go back to Ryan Tannehill coming into

228
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:35,559
Speaker 1: Miami and starting, it was different for them because you know,

229
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 1: Josh Allen's playing with this particular team in this particular town,

230
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 1: with this defense, with these wide receivers, this running game,

231
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:44,839
Speaker 1: this offensive line, and this coaching staff. There are so

232
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:47,719
Speaker 1: many variables that go into every scenario where you're trying

233
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:50,439
Speaker 1: to develop a young quarterback. You gotta handle it the

234
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:52,679
Speaker 1: best way you can day by day with a big

235
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 1: picture in mind. And I don't think there's any question

236
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:58,319
Speaker 1: that if you're going to get the most out of

237
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, he'll get more out of it if he plays.

238
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 1: But you've got to find a way that the job

239
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:07,079
Speaker 1: one for the offensive staff of the Bills is to

240
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:12,440
Speaker 1: give this guy some success. Yes, somehow, some way find

241
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:15,439
Speaker 1: a way to get him to throw the football to

242
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:18,040
Speaker 1: a guy that can get separation. It's hard to do

243
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 1: with these receivers. It's hard to do when you're getting

244
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:22,959
Speaker 1: a pass rush like he's gotten the last few weeks.

245
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 1: It's hard to do given the fact that you know,

246
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 1: you've got to make sure he can get his eyes

247
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 1: in the right spot and look at the defense the

248
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:31,719
Speaker 1: right way. You got all kinds of things against you.

249
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:35,120
Speaker 1: But the real question is can you find a way

250
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 1: to get Josh Allen to have some success throwing the football.

251
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:42,199
Speaker 1: If you can do that, then you can take another step.

252
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:45,679
Speaker 1: But right now, you know, his good throws are few

253
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 1: and far between. When he makes them, they're they're great.

254
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:50,600
Speaker 1: The last throw he made was the one to Benjamin

255
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 1: was a dynamic throw down the field on the hat,

256
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 1: I mean, put it right on the money, and he

257
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:58,760
Speaker 1: got his elbow whacked, you know. So it's like, you know, so,

258
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 1: you've got to find a way for him to have

259
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:06,680
Speaker 1: some success. And I think he's better throwing the ball

260
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 1: in those intermediate to long routes down like he we

261
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 1: saw yesterday, than he is on the short passes. But

262
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 1: the problem is if he's going to drop back long

263
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 1: enough to throw this intermediate and long passes, the pass

264
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:19,679
Speaker 1: protection's got to hold up, and it hasn't. I think

265
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:23,320
Speaker 1: the coaching is being challenged here, Steven. I like your point,

266
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 1: and I agree with your point. They've got to find

267
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 1: ways to make him successful with all of his limitations,

268
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 1: with his lack of experience with the and with the

269
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:32,079
Speaker 1: guys on this offense, with the guys they don't have

270
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 1: on this office. You know, the limitations they have. They've

271
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 1: got to find a way to make him comfortable and

272
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:40,559
Speaker 1: make him successful in at least in a marginal way.

273
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:42,599
Speaker 1: He's not even there yet. Josh is not He's not

274
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 1: even you know, he's barely playable the way he's played

275
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks, and they they've got to

276
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:50,080
Speaker 1: find a way to improve upon that. And if he's healthy,

277
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:52,200
Speaker 1: I'm putting him in. But you might have a different idea.

278

Speaker 1: huge fan of Will list to you guy as much

287
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 1: as I can. Um, just real quick to your Twitter question.

288
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 1: If he's healthy, start them? Um? If not, I'm thinking

289
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:25,440
Speaker 1: that about going with Get Derek Anderson in there, get

290
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 1: him in reps, get him in the pads, get him

291
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 1: I mean ready for the game on Sunday. But my

292
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 1: main reason for calling is I want of your both

293
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 1: professional opinions on this second quarter thirty nine seconds last,

294
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:40,720
Speaker 1: we had the ball, three timeouts. Last they won one play,

295
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:42,960
Speaker 1: then run the clock out. Why is that Yeah, because

296
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:44,679
Speaker 1: they took a big loss on that play. They went

297
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 1: minus three on the play. And what will happen is

298
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:50,280
Speaker 1: and if they were gonna do it anything else where

299
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:53,559
Speaker 1: they gonna do. If they're gonna hand it off, you're

300
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:55,679
Speaker 1: not gonna throw it again because if it's incomplete, then

301
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:58,040
Speaker 1: you're gonna not gonna get out of the half without

302
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:01,120
Speaker 1: giving the Texans the ball back. What happens is on

303
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 1: those plays if you can get a good gain on

304
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 1: first down, then you're then the wheels are off, and

305
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 1: then you can go because then you can switch to

306
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:10,040
Speaker 1: flip the field because if the worst comes to worst,

307
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:11,960
Speaker 1: you can punt it and get them down in their end.

308
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:14,400
Speaker 1: But if you give him that one play, he threw

309
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 1: that little swing pass to Shady McCoy and they got

310
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 1: minus four yards. So now it's second and fourteen, and

311
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:22,880
Speaker 1: now you're looking at and there's still thirty seconds on

312
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:27,160
Speaker 1: the clock with your timeouts. Listen, on second and thirteen,

313
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 1: you're gonna drop back and throw it again. Now there's

314
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:32,520
Speaker 1: twenty seven seconds left on the clock. With an incomplete pass.

315
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:34,880
Speaker 1: Now you can't get out of the half. You gotta

316
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 1: give them the ball back and then anything can happen.

317
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 1: So what you're doing is you'd give him that one

318
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 1: shot to maybe make something happen. Give it to your

319
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 1: best player, Shady. If he can get an eight ten

320
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:46,560
Speaker 1: yard game, then the wheels are off, the training wheels

321
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:47,880
Speaker 1: are off. You take the time out and you stay

322
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:49,800
Speaker 1: on the field. But when you take the loss on

323
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 1: that first play, you tell off it. That's it. That's

324
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:54,760
Speaker 1: all the chance you get. If you can't make it

325
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 1: go on that first play and give yourselves a chance

326
00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 1: on second down or get a first down or a

327
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:01,360
Speaker 1: big play coming off the field. What you're saying it

328
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:03,320
Speaker 1: does not show a great deal of confidence in what

329
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 1: your offense can do. But why would they have a confidence? Yeah,

330
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 1: I mean, what are we We're talking about a team

331
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:10,240
Speaker 1: that's gonna win with a defense shutting them out. You're

332
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 1: not going to give them another short field after your

333
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 1: special teams let you down twice too. I mean they're

334
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 1: they're kind of you know, as a defense and as

335
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:19,160
Speaker 1: a head coach, you kind of feel like your defense

336
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:21,560
Speaker 1: is on an island. Yesterday, your offense wasn't doing anything,

337
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:25,240
Speaker 1: and your special teams had disappeared, at least everybody except

338
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 1: Stephen Housket. So you know they had they did have

339
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 1: thirty nine seconds left and a half, and they had

340
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 1: the ball on what was it? There? Was it their

341
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 1: twenty five yard line? Was it a regular touchback or

342
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:38,440
Speaker 1: I can't remember how they got a twenty yard Yeah,

343
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:40,120
Speaker 1: they got on their twenty yard line, so they're even

344
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 1: deeper than if they'd hit a touchback. They took a

345
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 1: minus play, So now it's second and fourteen on their

346
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 1: on their sixteen yard line. No way. I mean, there's

347
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 1: no way you're going to risk that at halftime, given

348
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:55,680
Speaker 1: the way, even though your defense is playing great, because

349
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 1: if you don't get out of there, you give them

350
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 1: a chance. Basically, So I get it. You know, they

351
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:03,120
Speaker 1: did play a conservative, There's no way about it. But

352
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:05,480
Speaker 1: you can certainly, you can certainly say that was probably

353
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 1: the smart thing to do, was playing a conservative in

354
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:10,960
Speaker 1: that spot. They call here from Paul and North Collins,

355
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 1: New York. Ahead, Paul, you are on the air. Yeah,

356
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 1: I just wanted to ask you a couple of things.

357
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:19,160
Speaker 1: See what you thought, um in the first drive going

358
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:23,360
Speaker 1: down the field when allen to the past, I don't

359
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 1: know they were on the past was like the five

360
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:32,080
Speaker 1: yard line and the receiver got cole cocked and uh,

361
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:34,400
Speaker 1: I would have swore that was a penalty. If that

362
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:37,880
Speaker 1: was Tom Brady, they're up in fifteen plagues. Yeah, they didn't.

363
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:40,520
Speaker 1: They didn't throw the past. Interference the Bills a short

364
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 1: a little to Zay Jones. Yeah, I thought it was.

365
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 1: I thought the hit was early. It was too early, right, right, right,

366
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:51,160
Speaker 1: That's what I thought. Well, another thing, after they Peter

367
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 1: was scoredinated, they were just before he threw the pick.

368
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:58,400
Speaker 1: Don't you think they should have started pounding the ball

369
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:01,960
Speaker 1: because of the defense being so good. Even if we

370
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:05,360
Speaker 1: didn't make a first sound, we could have kicked the ball.

371
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:09,359
Speaker 1: Defense would have kept them down. You mean, at the

372
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 1: end of the game, they're trying to win though, right,

373
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:12,680
Speaker 1: they're trying to move down field to house your field

374
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:16,560
Speaker 1: goal range. Right. Well, but what I'm saying is, instead

375
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 1: of having Peterman with his record throwing the ball, let's

376
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 1: try to just pound it and see what happens. Are

377
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:25,880
Speaker 1: you sigging? But when they had the three point lead

378
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:29,719
Speaker 1: after Peterman's TV right, right, I don't know how many

379
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 1: possessions they had before the Texans tied it up. I

380
00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:36,440
Speaker 1: think they might have switched possession. But yeah, I would. Yeah,

381
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:38,359
Speaker 1: I'm with you totally. You're trying to play then you're

382
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:40,320
Speaker 1: trying to shorten the game. You're trying to run the clock,

383
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 1: and you're trying to just grind out first downs. But

384
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:46,640
Speaker 1: if you're you know, if you're facing second and nine,

385
00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 1: you know, what are you gonna do? If you're you

386
00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:52,359
Speaker 1: know what I mean? So, I mean, I get it.

387
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:54,520
Speaker 1: I can't remember the plays you're talking about, but you're

388
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:57,399
Speaker 1: right there and believe me, that's there. That was their

389
00:17:57,480 --> 00:17:59,959
Speaker 1: plan and about if at once they took a three

390
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 1: point lead, they wanted that game to get over in

391
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:04,119
Speaker 1: a big hurry. Yeah. So they're up by three and

392
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 1: they get the ball back to Bills, get it with

393
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:08,720
Speaker 1: ten and a half minutes left, and run six minutes

394
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:10,439
Speaker 1: off the clock. You know, did a pretty good job.

395
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:13,200
Speaker 1: They had to put it away with three fifty five left. Um.

396
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:16,680
Speaker 1: The Texans eventually tied it up with a long drive

397
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:18,160
Speaker 1: of their own, So I think they did a pretty

398
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:20,160
Speaker 1: good job. That long drive was the thing that did

399
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:22,359
Speaker 1: it that when the when the Texans really had to

400
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 1: have it, they put together drive at the end of

401
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:25,840
Speaker 1: the game to tie that up and forty one yard

402
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:29,119
Speaker 1: pass interference call was yea, and yeah that was a

403
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:30,880
Speaker 1: good call. It was yeah, I mean, that's what you gotta,

404
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:33,119
Speaker 1: that's you gotta. You gotta hand it, hand it to him.

405
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 1: That was that was a penalty. So, um, and that

406
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:39,159
Speaker 1: was your your first your Paul had caller said, you know,

407
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 1: after the Peterman TV they did get conservative. They ran

408
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:44,360
Speaker 1: six minutes off a ten minute clock, so they did

409
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:46,119
Speaker 1: exactly what they were supposed to do. In fact, that

410
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:49,360
Speaker 1: was probably as effective as the offense was had given

411
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:51,880
Speaker 1: him some help. Yeah, except for the touchdown they got

412
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:54,640
Speaker 1: um and the first one he said on the first

413
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:56,960
Speaker 1: drive when they had the bang bang play to u

414
00:18:57,520 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 1: Zay Jones down the middle. And that's what I and

415
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:01,720
Speaker 1: I called a bang bang play because that's the terminology

416
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 1: the officials use. If it is a very close play

417
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:07,320
Speaker 1: and it's bang bang, even if it does appear to

418
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 1: be early, they will not call that. Um. They do

419
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:13,240
Speaker 1: not want to start calling those plays that happened so

420
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:17,920
Speaker 1: close to simultaneous that it's it's you know, it was

421
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:21,159
Speaker 1: the guy hit him early. I agree, no question, but

422
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:23,960
Speaker 1: that's problem. That's what they do. Though. If it's early

423
00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:27,840
Speaker 1: but not early enough to be earlier than that, I

424
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:29,840
Speaker 1: guess you're right there. That's you're right when you say

425
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:31,680
Speaker 1: you're not going to call a bang bang plays. The

426
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:35,680
Speaker 1: bang bang starts to become bang bang instead of bang bang, right,

427
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:38,720
Speaker 1: So it starts to be a judgment call. And particularly

428
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 1: given the fact that it was early in the game. Yeah,

429
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:43,359
Speaker 1: I didn't have a problem with it, even though it

430
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 1: probably was early. They make that known that they're not

431
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:51,280
Speaker 1: going to call those plays. So that's that's when I

432
00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:53,720
Speaker 1: don't even think that while the bench would probably say

433
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 1: something about it, they won't. Yeah, that's they can call

434
00:19:57,640 --> 00:19:59,480
Speaker 1: him from Pete in Buffalo. Go ahead, Pete, you're on

435
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:02,119
Speaker 1: the air with us. Yes, I just have one question

436
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:05,720
Speaker 1: and then hang up. I'm just wondering, how come you

437
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 1: guys make all kinds of excuses for Allen? And uh,

438
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 1: and you guys, have you heard any excuses? And Allen

439
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:16,600
Speaker 1: has mark sorry actually at playing quarterback for the Bills.

440
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:20,200
Speaker 1: Then Peterman and I just think, have you heard any

441
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:24,800
Speaker 1: excuses from Wait? Wait, Pete? What what about? What's Josh

442
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:28,200
Speaker 1: Allen done that that Peterman didn't do? What? Say it again?

443
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:33,040
Speaker 1: Allen has been Allen has been terrible, and but Peterman

444
00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:35,080
Speaker 1: had a horror. I know he had a horrible game

445
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:39,600
Speaker 1: last year again his first professional guy game, and then

446
00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:42,639
Speaker 1: this year, this year he didn't get much of a chance.

447
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:47,080
Speaker 1: And uh, and now yesterday I started the season. Go ahead, Pete.

448
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:51,400
Speaker 1: Been a hero yesterday except for that one play, Pete.

449
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 1: Here's the difference. Here's the thing you're missing. Here's what

450
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:58,800
Speaker 1: you're missing. Peterman turns it over. Period, he turns it over.

451
00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:02,720
Speaker 1: He throws sixes, and he turns it over. Josh doesn't

452
00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:04,600
Speaker 1: turn it over. He does want you know, he has,

453
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:09,560
Speaker 1: but he doesn't turn it over multiple times in successful drive. Right.

454
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 1: But the thing is Peterman's gotten less playing time than Allen,

455
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:15,840
Speaker 1: that's right, and he's turned it over five times more

456
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:21,200
Speaker 1: he turns it over. You can't turn it over. And uh, well,

457
00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:24,720
Speaker 1: I just think that Peterman's getting a raw deal. And

458
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:28,679
Speaker 1: because they doll all their money in the basket for Allen,

459
00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:31,400
Speaker 1: now they're gonna go with him, come hell or high

460
00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:35,320
Speaker 1: water and Peterman. I guarantee if Peterman will end up

461
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:37,280
Speaker 1: on another team at some point, and he'll probably do

462
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:39,320
Speaker 1: a great job, I'll no one we're listening, and no

463
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:41,719
Speaker 1: one will be more shocked than most Bills fans if

464
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 1: Peterman goes on to a successful starting career in the NFL.

465
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 1: I mean, I get it, though, but Pete, that's the difference.

466
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:51,240
Speaker 1: I hear what you're saying. But if if Peterman wouldn't

467
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 1: turn it over, he wouldn't look so bad and things

468
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:57,760
Speaker 1: wouldn't go so bad. There's no doubt about it. He

469
00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:00,920
Speaker 1: earned the chance to start for the flow Bills in

470
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:04,560
Speaker 1: the preseason this year, and he stunk so badly in

471
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:08,119
Speaker 1: the early going in Baltimore they pulled him and benched him,

472
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:10,840
Speaker 1: and then it was off. And then every time he

473
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:13,199
Speaker 1: has gotten on the field, either in relief or as

474
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:18,440
Speaker 1: a starter, he throws interceptions. And that you cannot have

475
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:21,200
Speaker 1: that that is the one thing that you can't, particularly

476
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:23,840
Speaker 1: if you've got a really good defense, you just can't

477
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:26,600
Speaker 1: turn it over. And that's I think that is the

478
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:30,600
Speaker 1: one thing that snake bites Peterman, even more so than

479
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:33,960
Speaker 1: the ineffectiveness and his you know, he can't the arm

480
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:37,760
Speaker 1: strength or whatever. He just turns it over way too much,

481
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:42,200
Speaker 1: and that that will get him benched quicker than anything.

482
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:44,920
Speaker 1: I know who the caller was talking about making excuses

483
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:48,679
Speaker 1: for Josh Allen. I haven't. You haven't listened. I've been

484
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:51,800
Speaker 1: trying to pull talk Murph off the ledge all morning

485
00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:55,360
Speaker 1: about Josh Allen. He is not. He is not making

486
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:57,760
Speaker 1: excuses for Josh Allen to me. I know that. However,

487
00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:00,640
Speaker 1: if he's healthy, I think he should start. And I said,

488
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:04,080
Speaker 1: that's the situation they're in. It's dark times, no question

489
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:06,199
Speaker 1: about it. It wouldn't be quite so dark if they

490
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:08,280
Speaker 1: had not muffed a punt and not getting a punt

491
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 1: blocked and taking stupid penalties. It wouldn't be so dark today.

492
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:13,760
Speaker 1: You'd be three and three and looking terrible with a

493
00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:16,040
Speaker 1: bad offense and a rookie quarterback. But you got a

494
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:19,120
Speaker 1: team around him that's playing pretty darn well. That wasn't

495
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:21,560
Speaker 1: good enough yesterday. They got to play perfect. They gotta

496
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:24,439
Speaker 1: play They can't make mistakes. They can't make stupid mistakes,

497
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 1: and they certainly can't muff punts and get puns blocked,

498
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 1: which are not mental mistakes. Those are physical mistakes. They

499
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:33,200
Speaker 1: were talking about it in the locker room yesterday. We

500
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:35,800
Speaker 1: were there. Time now for around the locker room, presented

501
00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:40,000
Speaker 1: by units Upstate New York Transplant Services, Save Lives Joined

502

Speaker 1: team units, donate blood, Visit Units dot org around the

503
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:48,000
Speaker 1: locker room. Head coach Sean McDermott is assessment of the

504
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:51,640
Speaker 1: loss in Houston. Look, it wasn't good enough today to win.

505
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:53,560
Speaker 1: I thought there were some good moments. We battled back

506
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:57,600
Speaker 1: in a tough environment, and I give the guys credit

507
00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:00,879
Speaker 1: for doing that. But it came down a communication and

508
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:04,359
Speaker 1: and respect for the football and then and then pre

509
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:06,920
Speaker 1: snap penalties. You can't can't hurt yourself with pre snap

510
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:10,600
Speaker 1: penalties like the day today. Quarterback Nathan Peterman, I'm the

511
00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:14,600
Speaker 1: highs and loads of his time at quarterback. Yeah, it's tough.

512
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:17,480
Speaker 1: I mean, um, put everything having in the winning the game,

513
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:21,480
Speaker 1: you know. Um yeah, it hurts for for my teammates.

514
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:24,240
Speaker 1: You know, um everybody out there for sixty minutes, you

515
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:26,440
Speaker 1: don't given it all. They had tried to come in

516
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:28,200
Speaker 1: here and help us win, and you know, I didn't

517
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:30,159
Speaker 1: do it today. So I'm gonna learn from it and

518
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:33,320
Speaker 1: then take your day by day. Wide receivers A Jones

519
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:37,880
Speaker 1: and Nathan Peterman's performance, I'm proud of Nate. It's hard

520
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:39,960
Speaker 1: to be a backup quarterback. It's hard to play quarterback

521
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:41,480
Speaker 1: in this league. So for him to come in and

522
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 1: do the best that he could. Um, he didn't want

523
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:47,280
Speaker 1: to start one interception, obviously, So I mean, I'm proud

524
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:48,919
Speaker 1: of him. The way he battled, the way he got

525
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:52,040
Speaker 1: the offense ready to try to finish the game. It

526
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:54,280
Speaker 1: just wasn't enough as a as a as a group.

527
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:57,359
Speaker 1: What do you say to a guy? These things just

528
00:24:57,480 --> 00:24:59,680
Speaker 1: keep happening to him every time you gets in the game.

529
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:04,800
Speaker 1: Nate's resilient. Um Me, personally, I'm not worried about Nate,

530
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:06,600
Speaker 1: and I know the way that he prepares and the

531
00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:10,240
Speaker 1: way that he goes about his business. So I'm proud

532
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:12,440
Speaker 1: of that guy. I know a lot's been thrown at him.

533
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 1: I know a lot of negativity is talked about him.

534
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 1: But that guy's a fighter. He's a warrior, and he

535
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:22,200
Speaker 1: inspires me personally to go hard every day. Safety Jordan Poyer.

536
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:26,000
Speaker 1: It was a difficult loss to the Texas. That's probably

537
00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:31,040
Speaker 1: one of my top three most hurt losses I've had. Um,

538
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:34,119
Speaker 1: you know, he fights so hard, you know, throughout a

539
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:37,520
Speaker 1: game you have a solid goal line stand. That was

540
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:39,480
Speaker 1: a tough loss, man, But coach said it then the

541
00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:42,920
Speaker 1: game man either even losey learn and we definitely gotta

542
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:45,680
Speaker 1: definitely got to move forward from this and learn from

543
00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:48,840
Speaker 1: from the mistakes that we made and critical moments, and uh,

544
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:52,280
Speaker 1: you know, I think we'll be found moving forward. Head

545
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:56,399
Speaker 1: coach char McDermott on the play of the Buffalo defense. So,

546
00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:58,600
Speaker 1: I thought overall, defensively, they did some good things. We

547
00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:00,920
Speaker 1: did some good things and and um, I think we

548
00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:04,120
Speaker 1: stacked him seven times and and other than the last drive,

549
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:07,880
Speaker 1: you know, Um, they think struggled to have some offense there,

550
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:09,480
Speaker 1: and it's a good offense, you know, coach and Brian

551
00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:13,119
Speaker 1: does a good job. Get him credit. Um, But overall,

552
00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:14,879
Speaker 1: I thought we did some good things defensefully, we just

553
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:17,800
Speaker 1: needed to communicate a little bit better in critical moments

554
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:21,840
Speaker 1: of the game. Safety Micah High and ray Ray McCloud

555
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:25,399
Speaker 1: struggles in the return game. Everybody in this locker room

556
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:26,639
Speaker 1: has faith in Ray Ray and what he can do

557
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:29,119
Speaker 1: in our part return game. Um. You know I just

558
00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:32,240
Speaker 1: talked to him and you know his confidence isn't shot

559
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:34,800
Speaker 1: nothing like that. UM. I can remember sometimes my rookie year,

560
00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:36,560
Speaker 1: we guys he had to have talked to me and UM,

561
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:38,520
Speaker 1: you know, keep my head in it because it's it's

562
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:41,959
Speaker 1: hard advanced to us. Uh, it's not an easy position. Um,

563
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:44,560
Speaker 1: that's probably one of the hardest positions on the football field,

564
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:48,200
Speaker 1: just because of you know, how much responsibility on one

565
00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:50,719
Speaker 1: play that you you know, you have to catch the ball, um,

566
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:52,760
Speaker 1: and so you know they put you back for a reason.

567
00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:56,000
Speaker 1: You gotta do it, and so, uh, you know, back

568
00:26:57,640 --> 00:26:59,719
Speaker 1: you go around the locker room. Presented by units up

00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:49,040

605
00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:00,880

606
00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:03,840
Speaker 1: Anderson be up and running and run a significant enough

607
00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:06,440
Speaker 1: part of the offense to be effective in a game

608
00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:09,440
Speaker 1: like this coming week? Yeah, I mean he could certainly

609
00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:11,560
Speaker 1: handle some of it. He's been around so much, He's

610
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:13,760
Speaker 1: learned so many different systems. See, he's had a way

611
00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:18,320
Speaker 1: of taking plays and making them make sense to his

612
00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:20,920
Speaker 1: brain because he's had you know, the same play called

613
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:23,400
Speaker 1: so many different times, so many different things. So he

614
00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:26,000
Speaker 1: could certainly go in and function in an offense but

615
00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:28,640
Speaker 1: have to be paired down protection wise and whatnot, but

616
00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:31,840
Speaker 1: he would be able to go and certainly operate. Your

617
00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:34,440
Speaker 1: huddle gets you into good play. The official with the football,

618
00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:37,680
Speaker 1: I don't know, you know what kind of shape he's in,

619
00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:39,880
Speaker 1: or what shape his arm is in or whatnot, but um,

620
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:43,720
Speaker 1: you know, I if the cases that Josh Allen can't go,

621
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:46,640
Speaker 1: you could certainly make a strong argument that Derek should

622
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:49,080
Speaker 1: be the guy to take the ball. And at least

623
00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:53,880
Speaker 1: you there's the situation where, you know, without trying to

624
00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:57,920
Speaker 1: be unfair or rude, Dave and Peterman's kind of showed you,

625
00:29:58,280 --> 00:29:59,880
Speaker 1: showed you what it is. I don't know how many

626
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:02,680
Speaker 1: people in that locker room and have much confidence in him. Yeah,

627
00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:05,560
Speaker 1: tell us if you would dan about Derek Anderson And

628
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:08,320
Speaker 1: I don't think the Bills signed him to play, but

629
00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:10,520
Speaker 1: here we go, he might have to play. What does

630
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 1: he bring the Bills? Even if he doesn't have to play,

631
00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:15,240
Speaker 1: how would he help Josh Allen, do you think yeah,

632
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:18,400
Speaker 1: I mean so outside just obviously have been having been

633
00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:22,840
Speaker 1: around and mental you know, really this is a big

634
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:25,680
Speaker 1: deal for all the little things. It's mostly the stuff

635
00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:29,080
Speaker 1: that happens from Sunday at four o'clock to Sunday at noon. Right,

636
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:31,760
Speaker 1: So on a Monday, how do you prepare on a Monday?

637
00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:34,400
Speaker 1: What kind of film do you truly watch on a Monday?

638
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:36,440
Speaker 1: And how do you take care of your body after

639
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:39,480
Speaker 1: getting beat up on a Sunday and a workout routine

640
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:42,080
Speaker 1: and getting in at a certain time, And what's the

641
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:44,600
Speaker 1: process of getting yourself into a winning routine on a

642
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:46,880
Speaker 1: Monday and then the same thing on a Tuesday, which

643
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:48,520
Speaker 1: is your day off. What time do you get in?

644
00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:50,920
Speaker 1: What kind of tape do you study? Are you studying

645
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:53,360
Speaker 1: game paper? Are you studying cut ups? Are you studying

646
00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:56,720
Speaker 1: blitz packages or you know, coverage packages or whatnot? And

647
00:30:57,200 --> 00:30:59,080
Speaker 1: how do you know how do you take care of

648
00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:00,920
Speaker 1: your body on a Tuesday? Do you work out? Do

649
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:02,680
Speaker 1: you not work out? You get in the tub, you

650
00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:05,840
Speaker 1: do a massage, whatnot? Do all those things that he

651
00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:08,160
Speaker 1: can offer and down on a Wednesday? You know, okay,

652
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:09,760
Speaker 1: what time we're going to get on a Wednesday, and

653
00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:12,400
Speaker 1: what's our plan for how we're going to study Wednesday

654
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:14,760
Speaker 1: tape and and what's our plan for practice that you

655
00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:16,840
Speaker 1: know what, Josh, it might be good for you to

656
00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:18,320
Speaker 1: talk to coach to see if you can get some

657
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:21,240
Speaker 1: third down reps on a Wednesday, because you know, the

658
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:23,480
Speaker 1: more extra if you can get six extra looks of

659
00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:26,080
Speaker 1: it's the third down package, that's good. Or hey, Josh,

660
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:28,240
Speaker 1: let's let's get in and study the game plan on

661
00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:31,640
Speaker 1: a Thursday morning. So just those little details that are

662
00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:33,840
Speaker 1: going to allow him to get a winning routine. When

663
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:37,000
Speaker 1: you're watching the game previously you just played, and talk

664
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:38,840
Speaker 1: to me about what you saw here. This is this

665
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:40,360
Speaker 1: is what I can tell you what I saw. And

666
00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:42,640
Speaker 1: then you know, Derek's been around, so he's played in

667
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:45,320
Speaker 1: a bunch of different offenses against a bunch of different teams.

668
00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:48,680
Speaker 1: So hey, we're playing this coordinator this week. Hey, to

669
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:50,680
Speaker 1: play this coordinator, you got to be really aggressive with

670
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:52,680
Speaker 1: the football. Or hey, this guy loves to come after

671
00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:54,880
Speaker 1: you on third down and these are his four favorite pressures.

672
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:57,920
Speaker 1: So just a wealth of knowledge of everything you can

673
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:01,400
Speaker 1: do to prepare yourself. And I love the signing. Not

674
00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:03,560
Speaker 1: only because it's a good friend of mine. But you know,

675
00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:07,640
Speaker 1: we saw the Browns last year take de Sean Keiser

676
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:10,800
Speaker 1: and ruin him by one playing him too early and

677
00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:12,960
Speaker 1: then two not giving him anybody in his room that

678
00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:17,040
Speaker 1: had had any kind of experience. So I applaud the bills.

679
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:19,960
Speaker 1: If you're gonna play Josh youn, you better have somebody

680
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:23,240
Speaker 1: in the room that can give him some some extra

681
00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:25,840
Speaker 1: set of eyes and wisdom into his ears. Yeah, we

682
00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:27,760
Speaker 1: wanted to ask you a little bit about Josh Allen.

683
00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:30,240
Speaker 1: You've you've obviously studied some tape on him. I saw

684
00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:33,320
Speaker 1: your Twitter exchange a week or two ago with Kurt

685
00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:35,920
Speaker 1: Warner and all the things that Josh Allen is going

686
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:38,560
Speaker 1: through and talk. You know, let me ask you, what

687
00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:41,280
Speaker 1: do you see in Josh Allen? And and is there

688
00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:44,000
Speaker 1: any glimmer of hope into a guy who's struggling so

689
00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:47,920
Speaker 1: badly early on in his career. Yeah. So so let

690
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:52,440
Speaker 1: me say this one basically going exactly how I had expected.

691
00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:55,560
Speaker 1: First of all, he should not be playing. I said

692
00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:57,400
Speaker 1: that when I was on with you guys in the summertime.

693
00:32:57,440 --> 00:33:00,200
Speaker 1: If the kids should not be playing, he's not need

694
00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:02,440
Speaker 1: to play in an NFL game right now, So it's

695
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:04,680
Speaker 1: a little bit unfair to him. Two, he doesn't have

696
00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:06,960
Speaker 1: a ton of weapons. You know, they're they're they're limited

697
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:09,840
Speaker 1: with all the weapons that they can go to. What

698
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:11,920
Speaker 1: have I seen from him, to be honest, I've been

699
00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:14,560
Speaker 1: encouraged by some of the stuff he's done. The Obviously,

700
00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:17,320
Speaker 1: the athleticism is there, the competitiveness is there, the self

701
00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:20,320
Speaker 1: belief is there. He's been more accurate with the football

702
00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:22,600
Speaker 1: than you know, people thought he was gonna be, which

703
00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:25,440
Speaker 1: was overblown to begin with. But the issues that I

704
00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:28,160
Speaker 1: did see income college and studying him coming out of

705
00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:31,160
Speaker 1: the college have kind of shown themselves that doesn't really

706
00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:33,240
Speaker 1: have a great plan at the line of scrimmage. You know,

707
00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:36,600
Speaker 1: you can tell that he's often surprised by what's going on,

708
00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:38,800
Speaker 1: and that's part of the reason why he should not

709
00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:41,960
Speaker 1: be playing. So you're you're taking your kid that's not

710
00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:44,720
Speaker 1: ready and he's forced to play, and then you put

711
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:47,280
Speaker 1: the version of trying to kind of win games on him. So,

712
00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:49,800
Speaker 1: to be honest with you, guys, though you can't get

713
00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:53,080
Speaker 1: a gauge on Josh Allen right now. You have no idea.

714
00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:55,160
Speaker 1: You can't sit here and say then this dude's gonna

715
00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:57,080
Speaker 1: be awesome. You can't sit here and say this kid's

716
00:33:57,120 --> 00:33:59,800
Speaker 1: gonna think One, it's too early, but two for the

717
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:02,960
Speaker 1: reasons that I said, like, he's not ready, you don't.

718
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:05,160
Speaker 1: You don't have ton of weapons around him. So it'd

719
00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:08,000
Speaker 1: be different that he was in Kansas City and he'd

720
00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:11,400
Speaker 1: be struggling with the weapons that Patrick Mahomes has. Then

721
00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:13,759
Speaker 1: you'd be going, oh, we got something. But right now,

722
00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:16,480
Speaker 1: Josh Allen is you know you you you hear the

723
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:20,200
Speaker 1: term fish out of water. He is completely swimming right

724
00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:22,320
Speaker 1: now and you can see it on his cape and whatnot.

725
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:27,280
Speaker 1: So certainly there's hope. You know, You've got a talented

726
00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:30,080
Speaker 1: kid that I've shown some good signs and has a

727
00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:32,759
Speaker 1: great work ethic. Right, So there's hope, But there's a

728
00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:35,479
Speaker 1: lot of things that need to get cleaned up. My prayer,

729
00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:38,520
Speaker 1: my prayer, honestly, my hope is that you don't ruin

730
00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:40,960
Speaker 1: him because this is a really tough situation for him

731
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:42,719
Speaker 1: to be in. Yeah, so how do you how does

732
00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:45,239
Speaker 1: that happen? Dan? How do you ruin a quarterback? Well,

733
00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:46,960
Speaker 1: you put him in and you ask him to be

734
00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:49,880
Speaker 1: somebody he's incapable of being and do things he can't do.

735
00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:53,200
Speaker 1: And so that's what we're seeing with Josh Allen is hey, gopee,

736
00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:55,480
Speaker 1: Josh Allen right now is not his starting quarterback in

737
00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:58,719
Speaker 1: the NFL. He cannot operate against defenses in the NFL.

738
00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:00,840
Speaker 1: So you're asking him, you're putting him out there and

739
00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:03,000
Speaker 1: you go, hey, go operate his offense against defense in

740
00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:06,799
Speaker 1: the NFL. He is not capable of doing that right now,

741
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:08,719
Speaker 1: not yet. And then you're gonna go ask him to

742
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:10,880
Speaker 1: be somebody he's not ready to be. So, hey, go

743
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:13,120
Speaker 1: be the leader of this franchise. Go be the guy

744
00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:15,600
Speaker 1: that truly matters in us winning or losing on Sundays.

745
00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:18,320
Speaker 1: He's not ready to beat that right now. And so

746
00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:21,880
Speaker 1: that's how kids get rooted. And then you know, guys, Steeves,

747
00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:24,600
Speaker 1: you know this, the mental part of this game is

748
00:35:24,719 --> 00:35:28,640
Speaker 1: so profound, so profound, and you're you're putting a guy

749
00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:31,160
Speaker 1: out there and he's having all these failures, right and

750
00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:34,320
Speaker 1: so at some point, you know, there could be this

751
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:36,800
Speaker 1: little thing called doubt self belt that can start to

752
00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:39,680
Speaker 1: creep in. Maybe I'm not ready for this, Maybe his

753
00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:42,520
Speaker 1: game is too big. Maybe what people say is true,

754
00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:44,839
Speaker 1: and you hope that's not the case, but we see

755
00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:47,800
Speaker 1: it all the time, and so and then you're getting

756
00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:49,839
Speaker 1: him beat up. You know, he's taking he's getting beat

757
00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:52,080
Speaker 1: up every week to story, Josh Allen's getting beat up.

758
00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:54,720
Speaker 1: Josh Allens get beat up. And so you start seeing

759
00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:58,359
Speaker 1: things that aren't there, and you start not trusting what's

760
00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:01,160
Speaker 1: around you, and you start trying to be somebody or

761
00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:03,080
Speaker 1: do things that you shouldn't be trying to do. And

762
00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:05,320
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, you get this guy that

763
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:08,960
Speaker 1: you know becomes a shell of himself over time. This

764
00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:11,600
Speaker 1: is something that slowly happens. It's like a crack in

765
00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:14,960
Speaker 1: a rock that explodes. Slowly happens over time, and then

766
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:17,320
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, this guy's escaping the pockets too early,

767
00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:20,880
Speaker 1: sowing the ball too early, not seeing defenders because he's

768
00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:23,640
Speaker 1: still concerned with the rush, all those things, and it's

769
00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:26,640
Speaker 1: this culmination and we've seen it. We see it every

770
00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:29,880
Speaker 1: year that more young quarterbacks in the NFL are ruined

771
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:32,920
Speaker 1: than they are made. And that's my biggest concern with

772
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:35,960
Speaker 1: josh On. I'm not saying it happening, but you can't

773
00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:39,280
Speaker 1: deny that it's a very real thing. In situations similar

774
00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:40,960
Speaker 1: to this one, so well, he's not alone. There's a

775
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:43,920
Speaker 1: lot of rookie quarterbacks playing. Sam Darnold seems to be

776
00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:47,440
Speaker 1: having some success with New York Josh Roses now in

777
00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:49,600
Speaker 1: the game, Baker Mayfield is riding a little bit of

778
00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:51,759
Speaker 1: a roller coaster. Talk a little bit about let's let's

779
00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:54,360
Speaker 1: hear what your take is on Sam Darnold. He had

780
00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:57,760
Speaker 1: a nice win yesterday. Yeah, I mean Sam Darnold has played.

781
00:36:58,120 --> 00:37:01,080
Speaker 1: When Sam Darnold was coming out, he had traits that

782
00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:03,080
Speaker 1: and I was outspoken about the straits that you just

783
00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:06,000
Speaker 1: can't coach really good understanding for color and feel, how

784
00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:08,760
Speaker 1: guys were going to run route straight into the patients

785
00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:11,560
Speaker 1: through in the windows, and then then got into the preseason,

786
00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:13,719
Speaker 1: team started to try and put them and he kind

787
00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:15,719
Speaker 1: of was like, well, I got y'all and he so

788
00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:18,080
Speaker 1: he responded with teams flitting him. So he showed me

789
00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:21,400
Speaker 1: complete understanding, complete play at the line of strammings, if

790
00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:22,880
Speaker 1: you guys are gonna do this to me, I've got

791
00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:25,240
Speaker 1: an answer. And so we seamed that on our journals.

792
00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:29,360
Speaker 1: Jarnalds for playing six games, that team has scored thirty

793
00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:32,000
Speaker 1: points three times in six games under Jarnals. They scored

794
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:36,120
Speaker 1: forty twice, and so he's producing. He's got a great

795
00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:39,919
Speaker 1: understanding for their offense. The ball gets out, he makes

796
00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:42,239
Speaker 1: he makes three or four throws a game that you go, man,

797
00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:44,719
Speaker 1: there's a handful of guys company get are making that throw,

798
00:37:45,040 --> 00:37:47,840
Speaker 1: and he's he's at least in four or five of

799
00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:50,160
Speaker 1: their games than the best player on the field. He's

800
00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:52,640
Speaker 1: in complete control of anything. But he was more prepared

801
00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:57,160
Speaker 1: coming into the NFL. Baker Mayfield has certainly had some

802
00:37:57,280 --> 00:38:00,440
Speaker 1: highs and some lows right, but NFL accuracy out like

803
00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:03,919
Speaker 1: Baker may feel that real NFL ball plays, and he's

804
00:38:03,960 --> 00:38:06,879
Speaker 1: only going to continue to get better. I haven't seen

805
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:09,320
Speaker 1: a ton of Josh Rusen, but I will say that

806
00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:13,080
Speaker 1: he looks rhythmically like he belongs like when he's in

807
00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:15,600
Speaker 1: the pocket, he understands what's going on. The ball's gotta

808
00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:17,320
Speaker 1: get out. I want to give it to this coverage.

809
00:38:18,120 --> 00:38:21,000
Speaker 1: So all those three guys have really had some good

810
00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:24,879
Speaker 1: moments and has as a Josh Allen, but they seem

811
00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:28,120
Speaker 1: to have a better understanding of what the defense is

812
00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:30,680
Speaker 1: trying to do to them every play and then have

813
00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:33,400
Speaker 1: a much better plan or answer for what's going on

814
00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:35,719
Speaker 1: post down. Yeah, one more quarterback. Do you get a

815
00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:38,840
Speaker 1: quick comment from you about that second year man, Patrick Mahomes,

816
00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:40,680
Speaker 1: who I thought, when toe to toe with Tom Brady

817
00:38:40,719 --> 00:38:42,960
Speaker 1: and the Patriots last night, I was I was encouraged

818
00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:46,040
Speaker 1: by what Mahomes did last night, even in the loss. Listen,

819
00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:48,520
Speaker 1: I love I love the Mahomes going into the game.

820
00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:50,440
Speaker 1: I love him more coming out of the games. I mean,

821
00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:53,719
Speaker 1: you know, obviously a little probably wound up early on

822
00:38:54,040 --> 00:38:57,040
Speaker 1: and makes the poor redsn mistake right before the half.

823
00:38:57,480 --> 00:38:59,800
Speaker 1: But Lee, I mean you talk about a kid that

824
00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:02,360
Speaker 1: comes out in the second half. You know, great quarterback

825
00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:05,640
Speaker 1: stars are on Peyton Manning, Matthew Stafford, even Jarret got

826
00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:07,799
Speaker 1: really good. To great quarterbacks, they have this trait where

827
00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:11,040
Speaker 1: they have zero memories, I mean zero memory. And for

828
00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:12,640
Speaker 1: the Homes, they kind of struggle a little bit in

829
00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:14,840
Speaker 1: the first half. The two picks the bat one of

830
00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:16,480
Speaker 1: the red zone right before hal and come out in

831
00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:19,040
Speaker 1: the second half and act like it never happened. I

832
00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:22,160
Speaker 1: mean he's scrambling around and making throws like the one

833
00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:25,000
Speaker 1: that got picked off. But they're working so just that

834
00:39:25,160 --> 00:39:27,640
Speaker 1: ability to not have a memory of, oh, whether it

835
00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:30,600
Speaker 1: was good or bad. These guys don't have memories. And

836
00:39:30,719 --> 00:39:32,560
Speaker 1: he leaves this team with thirty one points in the

837
00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:37,240
Speaker 1: second half and falls out. He's incredible in the pocket.

838
00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:40,719
Speaker 1: He's hangers out of the pocket. Just a fun, fun

839
00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:43,800
Speaker 1: kid to watch, played football and for him to go

840
00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:45,800
Speaker 1: toe to toe and do what he did in the

841
00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:49,080
Speaker 1: second half, responding, man, that was impressive. Yeah, it was

842
00:39:49,120 --> 00:39:50,480
Speaker 1: a lot of fun to watch. Hey, damn, thanks for

843
00:39:50,560 --> 00:39:53,399
Speaker 1: this great insight. Thanks for joining us. I appreciate you, guys.

Speaker 1: Dan Or Larsky, NFL quarterback for twelve years now analyst

845
00:39:56,760 --> 00:39:59,480
Speaker 1: on ESPUN Covering the NFL Steve and I Beck with more.

846
00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:01,800
Speaker 1: One Bill slide from one Bill's drive and this is

847
00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:20,400
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills Radio. Watson takes the snap, gonna throw and

848
00:40:20,440 --> 00:40:23,520
Speaker 1: I'm dirty short looks right now. We surrounded. He is sacked.

849
00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:25,520
Speaker 1: He is brought down back in the thirty one yard

850
00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:27,400
Speaker 1: line and there's a loose ball of the Bills recover.

851
00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:30,160
Speaker 1: As Watson went down, the ball came out and the

852
00:40:30,239 --> 00:40:34,520
Speaker 1: Bills come up with him. The Advanced Alarmed defense and

853
00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:37,440
Speaker 1: play the game. There were several yesterday Advanced Alarmed providing

854
00:40:37,719 --> 00:40:39,960
Speaker 1: Western the Arms homes and businesses with the find us

855
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:42,319
Speaker 1: in security at Home Theater the preferred alarm at Home

856
00:40:42,360 --> 00:40:44,239
Speaker 1: Theater provider of the Buffalo Bills. You're laughing at my

857
00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:47,239
Speaker 1: voice yesterday. Well, listen, I everybody should know Murph doesn't

858
00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:49,640
Speaker 1: feel bad. But you don't sound bad. You don't sound

859
00:40:49,719 --> 00:40:53,279
Speaker 1: like yourself, that's for sure. And that that you know,

860
00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:55,200
Speaker 1: defensive play of the game that you called yesterday. You

861
00:40:55,239 --> 00:40:58,400
Speaker 1: weren't feeling it yesterday either were you. I didn't feel badly,

862
00:40:58,480 --> 00:41:01,840
Speaker 1: I just sound awful. Yeah. Hey, we're talking about quarterbacks

863
00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:04,000
Speaker 1: and what would you do if Josh Allen is healthy?

864
00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:05,960
Speaker 1: Do you start him this Sunday? Give us a call

865
00:41:06,080 --> 00:41:08,840
Speaker 1: eight oh three oh five fifty toll free one eight

866
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:11,600
Speaker 1: eight eight five fifty two five fifty. Dan on the

867
00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:13,680
Speaker 1: line in Pennsylvania. Hi, Dan, go ahead, you're on the air,

868
00:41:14,719 --> 00:41:19,799
Speaker 1: Oh John. Yeah, I'm sensing some certainly some frustration even

869
00:41:19,920 --> 00:41:23,759
Speaker 1: panic in the studio this morning over Josh Allen. Really

870
00:41:24,040 --> 00:41:26,480
Speaker 1: I don't think yeah, I don't. Well, you put him

871
00:41:26,480 --> 00:41:28,520
Speaker 1: on the clock this morning, John, and so you told

872
00:41:28,600 --> 00:41:31,320
Speaker 1: him the clock was ticking, And that sounds like a

873
00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:34,920
Speaker 1: frustrated comment. But the thing is, I don't see it

874
00:41:35,080 --> 00:41:37,600
Speaker 1: that way. I don't think he was terrible yesterday. I mean,

875
00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:40,320
Speaker 1: he was ten of seventeen for eighty five yards. And

876
00:41:40,440 --> 00:41:45,200
Speaker 1: when I look at the completion percentage of with the

877
00:41:45,280 --> 00:41:50,120
Speaker 1: exception of Darnold Baker, Mayfield's completion percentage through his score

878
00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:54,160
Speaker 1: games is fifty five point six. Dan Orlovski was commenting

879
00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:56,759
Speaker 1: on how on this great accuracy, But I don't think

880
00:41:56,840 --> 00:41:59,759
Speaker 1: fifty five point six is very accurate. The other thing

881
00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:02,960
Speaker 1: is Josh Rosen's speeching for Sandy year to eight is

882
00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:06,799
Speaker 1: also fifty five point six. Josh Allen's is fifty four.

883
00:42:07,160 --> 00:42:12,760
Speaker 1: So I'm not seeing I'm not seeing what the panic

884
00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:16,880
Speaker 1: is about. And he talked about the coaches setting him

885
00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:19,800
Speaker 1: up for success. But there's one thing that Josh Allen

886
00:42:19,880 --> 00:42:22,080
Speaker 1: doesn't need right now, and that is a bevy of

887
00:42:22,200 --> 00:42:24,920
Speaker 1: offensive penalties that keeps setting him back and plays that

888
00:42:25,040 --> 00:42:28,279
Speaker 1: called back. I mean, that can't be on Josh. Steve

889
00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:30,680
Speaker 1: did point out if he doesn't turn the ball over

890
00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:33,279
Speaker 1: very much, and I agree with that, but I don't sense,

891
00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:35,360
Speaker 1: you know what, We all knew that this was going

892
00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:38,000
Speaker 1: to be a long term project, all right, but here

893
00:42:38,080 --> 00:42:42,280
Speaker 1: we are in week five, Week five, we're already putting

894
00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:45,160
Speaker 1: him on the clock, and I just think that's an overreaction.

895
00:42:45,200 --> 00:42:47,480
Speaker 1: I think he's got to play better. Dan, is that overreaction.

896
00:42:47,520 --> 00:42:49,239
Speaker 1: He's got to play better. And I don't even look

897
00:42:49,239 --> 00:42:51,680
Speaker 1: at numbers, and I don't even I'll be honest with you, Steve,

898
00:42:51,760 --> 00:42:53,920
Speaker 1: you made this agree. I don't care about comparing the

899
00:42:54,239 --> 00:42:57,600
Speaker 1: Josh Allen's numbers to Josh Rosen or Sam Darnold or

900
00:42:57,600 --> 00:42:59,880
Speaker 1: anybody else. I'm looking at these games, watching how we

901
00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:03,680
Speaker 1: plays the series. In the third what disturbed me most yesterday,

902
00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:06,080
Speaker 1: third quarter, seven minutes left to play, the Bill started

903
00:43:06,120 --> 00:43:08,160
Speaker 1: their own ten yard line. It was a terrible series.

904
00:43:08,719 --> 00:43:11,280
Speaker 1: They had an illegal formation penalty. You're right, that's probably

905
00:43:11,360 --> 00:43:14,240
Speaker 1: not on Josh Allen, but they you know, Josh wouldn't

906
00:43:14,239 --> 00:43:16,320
Speaker 1: even looking down the field in that entire series. He

907
00:43:16,440 --> 00:43:18,680
Speaker 1: was He'd take a snap and shotgun and looked at

908
00:43:18,680 --> 00:43:20,920
Speaker 1: it for a running line, and I thought, that's not it,

909
00:43:21,120 --> 00:43:23,600
Speaker 1: that's not what they're looking for. I'm put him on

910
00:43:23,680 --> 00:43:26,400
Speaker 1: the clock. I mean, get better. I'm not saying bencham now,

911
00:43:26,520 --> 00:43:28,400
Speaker 1: but get better. He's got to get better, and he's

912
00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:30,920
Speaker 1: got to start taking steps forward. I do believe that.

913
00:43:31,120 --> 00:43:33,479
Speaker 1: I believe that I'm not walking away from Josh Allen.

914
00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:36,040
Speaker 1: If he's healthy, I start him this week. If he's healthy,

915
00:43:36,080 --> 00:43:38,400
Speaker 1: I start him next week too. But he's got to

916
00:43:38,440 --> 00:43:41,360
Speaker 1: get better and series like that the second quarter or

917
00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:43,279
Speaker 1: third quarter to seven minutes left in the third quarter.

918
00:43:43,560 --> 00:43:45,640
Speaker 1: You can't play like that. You can't. You cannot play

919
00:43:45,680 --> 00:43:47,680
Speaker 1: the position like that. Yeah, he's got he's got to

920
00:43:47,719 --> 00:43:49,040
Speaker 1: learn to keep his eyes down the field. He's got

921
00:43:49,120 --> 00:43:51,360
Speaker 1: to learn on whatever plays called, where his keys are,

922
00:43:51,400 --> 00:43:53,560
Speaker 1: where he's supposed to look at the defense, look at

923
00:43:53,600 --> 00:43:56,520
Speaker 1: the safety's find him, look at the front. And and

924
00:43:57,000 --> 00:43:59,040
Speaker 1: like you said, he's got to get help from the

925
00:43:59,120 --> 00:44:02,000
Speaker 1: guys around. They can't line up wrong. They can't have

926
00:44:02,480 --> 00:44:05,200
Speaker 1: off sides, they can't jump off sides in full start

927
00:44:05,239 --> 00:44:08,040
Speaker 1: all the time on offense, they can't bring place back

928
00:44:08,120 --> 00:44:11,799
Speaker 1: with holding penalties. They've got to you know, they've got

929
00:44:11,920 --> 00:44:14,440
Speaker 1: to play well around him and their quarter They've got

930
00:44:14,480 --> 00:44:16,759
Speaker 1: a young rookie quarterback. They have to play better and

931
00:44:17,160 --> 00:44:20,120
Speaker 1: because of that, and they can't put him in a

932
00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:22,680
Speaker 1: position where he's gonna fail his teammates. I'm talking about

933
00:44:23,160 --> 00:44:26,000
Speaker 1: And certainly you can you can listen and we get

934
00:44:26,040 --> 00:44:27,800
Speaker 1: this on Twitter all the time, Like they should have

935
00:44:27,880 --> 00:44:30,200
Speaker 1: thrown a short pass here or they should have. The

936
00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:35,000
Speaker 1: play calling was student. Listen. The play calling is thought out.

937
00:44:35,120 --> 00:44:37,200
Speaker 1: They've got a strategy, they know what they're doing. The

938
00:44:37,280 --> 00:44:41,400
Speaker 1: problem is probably that Josh Allen's having trouble keeping up

939
00:44:41,440 --> 00:44:43,000
Speaker 1: with their train of thought and what they're trying to do.

940
00:44:43,200 --> 00:44:45,960
Speaker 1: They call that play and they'll give Josh a couple

941
00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:48,680
Speaker 1: of tidbits of of things to look for on that

942
00:44:48,760 --> 00:44:52,000
Speaker 1: play when they give him the play, and Josh, you's

943
00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:53,480
Speaker 1: got to play better. He's got to take it upon

944
00:44:53,560 --> 00:44:55,760
Speaker 1: himself to see the big picture, look over the defense

945
00:44:55,800 --> 00:45:00,160
Speaker 1: and find an open guy. And if you're wasting your

946
00:45:00,280 --> 00:45:05,480
Speaker 1: time talking about bad play calling, whether it's the Bills

947
00:45:05,560 --> 00:45:09,719
Speaker 1: or anybody else, because if a play is not successful,

948
00:45:09,760 --> 00:45:11,920
Speaker 1: of course you're gonna call him a different play. It

949
00:45:12,040 --> 00:45:14,239
Speaker 1: comes down to the players have got to execute it,

950
00:45:14,560 --> 00:45:16,480
Speaker 1: and that goes down. You can even the bad things

951
00:45:16,520 --> 00:45:19,080
Speaker 1: that happened to the Bills yesterday come down to the

952
00:45:19,160 --> 00:45:23,360
Speaker 1: players executing. Whatever punt return was called doesn't anything to

953
00:45:23,440 --> 00:45:26,960
Speaker 1: do with that. The fact that Zaza or Ray Ray

954
00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:29,800
Speaker 1: didn't catch the ball, whatever you want to do, doesn't

955
00:45:29,800 --> 00:45:33,120
Speaker 1: have anything to do with somebody who you know, DeMarco

956
00:45:33,320 --> 00:45:35,839
Speaker 1: not covering up the tackle or getting covered up by

957
00:45:35,840 --> 00:45:38,760
Speaker 1: the tight end on a play that went for forty

958
00:45:38,800 --> 00:45:40,800
Speaker 1: two yards and then called back. It was a seventy

959
00:45:40,840 --> 00:45:45,520
Speaker 1: seven yard penalty. By the way, that's crazy. So if

960
00:45:45,560 --> 00:45:48,480
Speaker 1: you're gonna talk about, you know, Josh Allen getting better, yeah,

961
00:45:48,560 --> 00:45:50,920
Speaker 1: he does have to play better. Yeah, he's gonna get

962
00:45:50,960 --> 00:45:53,440
Speaker 1: better by playing, and you stick him back in. If

963
00:45:53,520 --> 00:45:55,560
Speaker 1: he's healthy, he's going back in. And I think the

964
00:45:55,680 --> 00:45:58,120
Speaker 1: job one for the coaching staff is what I've been saying.

965
00:45:58,640 --> 00:46:00,840
Speaker 1: You gotta give him something then that he can do

966
00:46:01,480 --> 00:46:04,399
Speaker 1: to be successful with. And you got to make sure

967
00:46:04,560 --> 00:46:07,880
Speaker 1: he knows this is normal. He's gonna get better, and

968
00:46:08,040 --> 00:46:10,920
Speaker 1: show him how to get better, help him study, help

969
00:46:11,000 --> 00:46:14,000
Speaker 1: him get a routine that gets him better every week mentally.

970
00:46:14,120 --> 00:46:17,080
Speaker 1: All right. Steve spent his Sunday in Nashville on the

971
00:46:17,120 --> 00:46:19,680
Speaker 1: sidelines for the Tennessee Titans and the Baltimore Ravens. And

972
00:46:20,080 --> 00:46:23,520
Speaker 1: as usual, you have tights and sounds from these sidelines.

973
00:46:23,600 --> 00:46:25,880
Speaker 1: It's from presented by Bows, the official headphones to the

974
00:46:25,880 --> 00:46:30,440
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. I was on the sidelines for the Baltimore

975
00:46:30,560 --> 00:46:33,280
Speaker 1: Ravens at the Tennessee Titans, and this is a Ravens

976
00:46:33,320 --> 00:46:36,000
Speaker 1: team that has a very big heritage about having playing

977
00:46:36,080 --> 00:46:39,520
Speaker 1: great defense. Yesterday they set a team record with eleven

978
00:46:39,600 --> 00:46:42,359
Speaker 1: sacks on Marcus Mariota. The team that the Bills beat

979
00:46:42,400 --> 00:46:45,120
Speaker 1: the week before now have gone and lost two straight.

980
00:46:46,320 --> 00:46:49,880
Speaker 1: Marcus Mariota was under duress all day. Terrell Suggs and

981
00:46:50,120 --> 00:46:55,440
Speaker 1: company were really dominated that game. They shut out the

982
00:46:55,560 --> 00:46:58,560
Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans. And this is a team and Bills fans

983
00:46:58,640 --> 00:47:01,720
Speaker 1: look back to Week one when the Baltimore Ravens dominated Buffalo.

984
00:47:02,200 --> 00:47:05,880
Speaker 1: Listen right now, I haven't seen too many teams in

985
00:47:05,960 --> 00:47:11,800
Speaker 1: the AFC even I would put Baltimore up there. Certainly

986
00:47:11,840 --> 00:47:15,600
Speaker 1: not in wins and losses, and maybe not in the

987
00:47:15,719 --> 00:47:18,960
Speaker 1: buzz that they're creating. But the Baltimore Ravens are as

988
00:47:19,000 --> 00:47:20,959
Speaker 1: tough a team to beat as the Kansas City Chiefs

989
00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:24,280
Speaker 1: and the Patriots. Right now, the Baltimore Ravens are getting

990
00:47:24,320 --> 00:47:26,520
Speaker 1: it done on both sides of the ball, and Joe

991
00:47:26,640 --> 00:47:29,920
Speaker 1: Flacco is playing as good a football right now as

992
00:47:29,960 --> 00:47:33,480
Speaker 1: anybody who's thrown it in the NFL. Their offense took

993
00:47:33,520 --> 00:47:35,759
Speaker 1: an enormous step forward this year when they got three

994
00:47:35,840 --> 00:47:38,440
Speaker 1: new wide receivers and bolsted their offensive line. He got

995
00:47:38,520 --> 00:47:41,360
Speaker 1: Marshall Yanda back on the field. This is a Baltimore

996
00:47:41,440 --> 00:47:43,800
Speaker 1: Ravens team that as good as they looked against the

997
00:47:43,880 --> 00:47:48,520
Speaker 1: Bills on Week one, they are that good. They are

998
00:47:48,680 --> 00:47:50,719
Speaker 1: really good this year and they're gonna be a team

999
00:47:50,760 --> 00:47:52,080
Speaker 1: to be reckoned with at the end of the year.

1000
00:47:52,120 --> 00:47:55,320
Speaker 1: That's my sideline Sounds presented by Bose, the official headphones

1001
00:47:55,320 --> 00:47:57,960
Speaker 1: of the Buffalo Bills. Murph, the Ravens are for real.

1002
00:47:58,760 --> 00:48:01,399
Speaker 1: I acknowledge that. One of the things I read about,

1003
00:48:01,440 --> 00:48:03,279
Speaker 1: and you might have speak to this on that game,

1004
00:48:03,320 --> 00:48:06,840
Speaker 1: that the Ravens were upset. Dean Peas was their defensive

1005
00:48:06,880 --> 00:48:09,960
Speaker 1: coordinator retired. He was sixty eight years old, retired at

1006
00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:12,200
Speaker 1: the end of last season, and a month later signs

1007
00:48:12,239 --> 00:48:15,160
Speaker 1: on to be the defensive coordinator of Tennessee Titans. And

1008
00:48:15,520 --> 00:48:17,719
Speaker 1: many of the Ravens defensive players who were upset about

1009
00:48:17,719 --> 00:48:19,920
Speaker 1: that and took that out that game yesterday a little bit.

1010
00:48:20,040 --> 00:48:22,080
Speaker 1: But here's the thing. I spoke to John Harball about

1011
00:48:22,080 --> 00:48:24,719
Speaker 1: it in the in our production meeting leading up to it,

1012
00:48:24,760 --> 00:48:26,319
Speaker 1: and he did it. They did acknowledge it, but Dean

1013
00:48:26,400 --> 00:48:29,640
Speaker 1: was going to retire and stuff. Dean Pease has a

1014
00:48:29,719 --> 00:48:31,520
Speaker 1: son who was in coaching wants to get into it,

1015
00:48:31,600 --> 00:48:36,160
Speaker 1: and Ravens have a policy in place they will not

1016
00:48:36,320 --> 00:48:39,440
Speaker 1: allow coaches on their staff to bring kids on their

1017
00:48:39,640 --> 00:48:41,759
Speaker 1: sons on staff. You know a lot of coaches do that.

1018
00:48:42,239 --> 00:48:45,520
Speaker 1: It's very commonplace. Bill Belichick's done it. Greg Williams has

1019
00:48:45,560 --> 00:48:47,799
Speaker 1: done it, Wade Phillips has done it, and you down

1020
00:48:47,880 --> 00:48:51,719
Speaker 1: the list, Andy Reid the run. You know, all these

1021
00:48:51,760 --> 00:48:53,840
Speaker 1: guys have done it. It's it's a very commonplace for

1022
00:48:53,960 --> 00:48:57,719
Speaker 1: coaches to do that. Mike Shanahan brought Kyle Shannon, That's

1023
00:48:57,760 --> 00:48:59,400
Speaker 1: how he got his start. So he goes It's a

1024
00:48:59,480 --> 00:49:02,520
Speaker 1: long list of coaches who did it. The Baltimore Ravens

1025
00:49:02,560 --> 00:49:08,239
Speaker 1: have a policy against that. And uh Dean Pas was

1026
00:49:08,320 --> 00:49:10,560
Speaker 1: gonna do that, was gonna retire. He wanted to have

1027
00:49:10,640 --> 00:49:12,480
Speaker 1: his son come on. They had a policy against it.

1028
00:49:12,760 --> 00:49:15,839
Speaker 1: He retired, No big deal. And then Mike Rabel called

1029
00:49:15,920 --> 00:49:17,960
Speaker 1: him up and said, hey, and we'll we want you

1030
00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:19,880
Speaker 1: to be We'll let you bring your son too. So

1031
00:49:19,960 --> 00:49:22,120
Speaker 1: he said, all right, I'll do it. And for that reason,

1032
00:49:22,960 --> 00:49:25,920
Speaker 1: John Harbaugh, Aussie knew some of those guys that Baltimore

1033
00:49:26,000 --> 00:49:27,880
Speaker 1: Ravens said Hey, I understand, go ahead and do it.

1034
00:49:28,000 --> 00:49:29,960
Speaker 1: And they're they're a stand up group of guys. They

1035
00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:31,800
Speaker 1: loved Dean Pas to death. He was a great defensive

1036
00:49:31,840 --> 00:49:33,520
Speaker 1: coordinator for him. But he's sixty eight years old and

1037
00:49:33,520 --> 00:49:35,320
Speaker 1: they know, you know, he's not gonna do that for

1038
00:49:35,320 --> 00:49:39,040
Speaker 1: another ten years. So when push came to shove, and

1039
00:49:39,080 --> 00:49:42,239
Speaker 1: particularly after yesterday, they're all good with it. Ravens as

1040
00:49:42,280 --> 00:49:44,680
Speaker 1: good as the Patriots and the Chiefs. That'd give both

1041
00:49:44,719 --> 00:49:46,359
Speaker 1: those teams a game. Now I'm saying, I'm not saying

1042
00:49:46,400 --> 00:49:47,759
Speaker 1: that they're gonna be come out of there on a

1043
00:49:47,840 --> 00:49:50,919
Speaker 1: three and a three team tournament and beat the Raider,

1044
00:49:51,080 --> 00:49:54,399
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, and the and the Patriots. But I'll tell

1045
00:49:54,400 --> 00:49:58,800
Speaker 1: you what, um, if they have to play those games

1046
00:49:58,920 --> 00:50:02,200
Speaker 1: in Baltimore, that's a team that's tough to beat. Joe Flacco,

1047
00:50:02,480 --> 00:50:04,879
Speaker 1: I've always thought he slings that he's healthy this year.

1048
00:50:05,200 --> 00:50:07,799
Speaker 1: His offensive line is playing better and protecting him better,

1049
00:50:08,400 --> 00:50:11,040
Speaker 1: and those wide receivers give him options. All right, Steve,

1050
00:50:11,080 --> 00:50:12,920
Speaker 1: and I'm back with more. Chris Brown's gonna join us

1051

00:51:02,160 --> 00:51:05,520
Speaker 1: quarter of yesterday's twenty to thirteen loss to the Houston Texans.

1064
00:51:05,640 --> 00:51:08,719
Speaker 1: Nathan Peterman finished the game. Peterman did not go well

1065
00:51:08,840 --> 00:51:11,640
Speaker 1: and the Bills may have to turn to Derek Anderson

1066
00:51:11,840 --> 00:51:15,320
Speaker 1: to play some quarterback for him. Josh Allen's injury update

1067
00:51:15,400 --> 00:51:17,800
Speaker 1: maybe coming later today when McDermott meets with the media.

1068
00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:20,200
Speaker 1: Bills getting set for another road game that's coming Sunday.

1069
00:51:20,280 --> 00:51:23,520
Speaker 1: They play at Indianapolis forty three to forty the final

1070
00:51:23,600 --> 00:51:25,640
Speaker 1: Last night, the paperings over the Chiefs in an outstanding

1071
00:51:25,719 --> 00:51:28,600
Speaker 1: Sunday night football game. Kansas City had a chance to

1072
00:51:28,800 --> 00:51:31,000
Speaker 1: knock down Tom Brady down near the gold mine late

1073
00:51:31,040 --> 00:51:33,480
Speaker 1: in the game fourth quarter, and the man who was there,

1074
00:51:33,840 --> 00:51:38,799
Speaker 1: the Kansas City defender Speaks Brandon Speaks, said he thought

1075
00:51:38,840 --> 00:51:40,360
Speaker 1: the ball was gone. He said, he's not going to

1076
00:51:40,400 --> 00:51:42,040
Speaker 1: take him to the ground because of the new rules.

1077
00:51:42,280 --> 00:51:44,560
Speaker 1: Brady stood up ran from four yards out into the

1078
00:51:44,680 --> 00:51:47,560
Speaker 1: end zone for the new England touchdown that was decisive

1079
00:51:47,640 --> 00:51:51,600
Speaker 1: in their victory over Kansas City. Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill

1080
00:51:51,680 --> 00:51:54,759
Speaker 1: late scratch yesterday came as a surprise that Miami coach

1081
00:51:54,800 --> 00:51:56,799
Speaker 1: Adam Gates was in no mood to discuss it after

1082
00:51:56,880 --> 00:52:00,480
Speaker 1: the game. His shoulder was termed sore showing up in

1083
00:52:00,520 --> 00:52:03,680
Speaker 1: a pregame workout to be cleared, so Adam Gaye said,

1084
00:52:04,040 --> 00:52:07,120
Speaker 1: asked Gays about ask Tanitle about why he did not play.

1085
00:52:07,440 --> 00:52:10,120
Speaker 1: Dolphins wound up winning in overtime yesterday against the Bears.

1086
00:52:10,400 --> 00:52:12,600
Speaker 1: The Ravens celebrated one of the biggest sack parties in

1087

Speaker 1: NFL history yesterday at twenty one did nothing victory over

1088
00:52:16,000 --> 00:52:19,120
Speaker 1: Tennessee sack and Marcus Mariota eleven times in that game,

1089
00:52:19,360 --> 00:52:22,520
Speaker 1: which set a franchise record. Sabers out west, they started

1090
00:52:22,520 --> 00:52:24,520
Speaker 1: their five game road trip with the three to win

1091
00:52:24,560 --> 00:52:27,920
Speaker 1: over Arizona. On Saturday, Rasmus Dialen with his first NHL goal.

1092
00:52:28,000 --> 00:52:30,279
Speaker 1: Buffalo back out of tomorrow night when they played the

1097
00:52:44,040 --> 00:52:46,319
Speaker 1: That's the update from One Bills Drive. John Murphy Steve

1098
00:52:46,360 --> 00:52:49,640
Speaker 1: Tasker joined by Chris Brown, Bills insider Buffalo Bills dot Com.

1099
00:52:49,680 --> 00:52:53,160
Speaker 1: I'm good, afternoon, Brownie. How are you. I'm doing okay, okay, Yeah,

1100
00:52:53,280 --> 00:52:56,680
Speaker 1: I'm all right, hanging in, hanging in. Tough loss, tough loss.

1101
00:52:57,600 --> 00:52:59,319
Speaker 1: We know how to hand him. Yeah, we've been talking

1102
00:52:59,320 --> 00:53:01,760
Speaker 1: about it free obviously. I didn't know if you've realized

1103
00:53:01,800 --> 00:53:06,600
Speaker 1: we talk on radio, but his talk. Yeah, I thought

1104
00:53:07,719 --> 00:53:09,440
Speaker 1: for me from a distance because I wasn't there in

1105
00:53:09,480 --> 00:53:10,960
Speaker 1: the game, and I did watch that. I watched the

1106
00:53:11,000 --> 00:53:15,399
Speaker 1: broadcast later on last night. It was kind of encouraging loss,

1107
00:53:15,400 --> 00:53:17,960
Speaker 1: because that's a game you should have won. Playing as

1108
00:53:18,000 --> 00:53:21,160
Speaker 1: bad as you did offensively and then as bad as

1109
00:53:21,200 --> 00:53:26,160
Speaker 1: you did on special teams too. Your defense did enough

1110
00:53:26,160 --> 00:53:27,960
Speaker 1: for you to win that game. You actually scored some point.

1111
00:53:28,360 --> 00:53:31,000
Speaker 1: How are you encouraged by that? The defense did enough

1112
00:53:31,000 --> 00:53:34,080
Speaker 1: to win and everything else fell apart. Where's the encouraging part?

1113
00:53:34,200 --> 00:53:35,680
Speaker 1: Because I know that that I know that you can.

1114
00:53:35,719 --> 00:53:38,560
Speaker 1: You're gonna catch punts and you're not gonna get punts blocked.

1115
00:53:39,040 --> 00:53:43,360
Speaker 1: And your and penalties are easily fixable, particularly formation penalties

1116
00:53:43,400 --> 00:53:46,719
Speaker 1: and false starts. All that stuff's easy. It's getting the

1117
00:53:47,160 --> 00:53:49,759
Speaker 1: reading a defense and throwing the football is hard. Yeah,

1118
00:53:50,760 --> 00:53:52,279
Speaker 1: And I think they're going to get better at doing

1119
00:53:52,360 --> 00:53:55,759
Speaker 1: that as well. This defense has gotten better. I mean

1120
00:53:55,840 --> 00:53:59,640
Speaker 1: you talk about it that it's gotten better from halfway

1121
00:53:59,719 --> 00:54:02,719
Speaker 1: through the Charger game till now. I mean it's gotten

1122
00:54:02,800 --> 00:54:06,320
Speaker 1: significantly better, and it got healthier this last week. This

1123
00:54:06,440 --> 00:54:08,640
Speaker 1: is a team that, uh, I mean, you look down

1124
00:54:08,680 --> 00:54:12,480
Speaker 1: the road now, you're you're facing an offense in Indianapolis

1125
00:54:13,320 --> 00:54:19,000
Speaker 1: that is twenty fourth, twenty fourth in the league. Indie's

1126
00:54:19,000 --> 00:54:21,840
Speaker 1: got the seventeenth ranked offense in football, their thirteenth in

1127
00:54:21,920 --> 00:54:25,960
Speaker 1: point scored seventeenth, that's right, and thirteenth in points scored.

1128
00:54:26,680 --> 00:54:28,960
Speaker 1: Bills are last in points scored. Oh I knew that

1129
00:54:29,600 --> 00:54:33,359
Speaker 1: I knew that Houston was eleventh ranked offense and they'd

1130
00:54:33,360 --> 00:54:37,920
Speaker 1: scored fewer points than than than Indianapolis. I just think

1131
00:54:38,000 --> 00:54:40,080
Speaker 1: this both and we thought this going in as well.

1132
00:54:40,719 --> 00:54:45,120
Speaker 1: Both those games would be winnable, and certainly that Houston game,

1133
00:54:45,239 --> 00:54:49,640
Speaker 1: is as difficult as it is to take, was really

1134
00:54:49,680 --> 00:54:53,000
Speaker 1: a winnable game. Andrew Luck's really good at reading defenses.

1135
00:54:53,560 --> 00:54:55,840
Speaker 1: They're they're first in the league and third down conversion.

1136
00:54:55,880 --> 00:54:57,600
Speaker 1: I bet hed better be pretty good at it because

1137
00:54:57,600 --> 00:54:59,600
Speaker 1: he's playing the number three ranked defense in the league,

1138
00:54:59,719 --> 00:55:02,360
Speaker 1: and he's playing by himself. And he's playing by himself,

1139
00:55:02,440 --> 00:55:04,400
Speaker 1: so he's a lot of injured players and yeah, and

1140
00:55:04,480 --> 00:55:07,560
Speaker 1: he's been injured and he's taking some shots. Um listen,

1141
00:55:07,600 --> 00:55:11,440
Speaker 1: I'll put my defense up against that offense, right, I mean,

1142
00:55:11,480 --> 00:55:14,200
Speaker 1: I worry about the other two phases, Steve, That's my issue.

1143
00:55:14,239 --> 00:55:17,560
Speaker 1: I love this defense. I love the beat the kicker,

1144
00:55:18,080 --> 00:55:20,160
Speaker 1: I like I like the Bills kicker. If it wasn't

1145
00:55:20,200 --> 00:55:25,520
Speaker 1: for Steven Haushka, you know what I mean? Yeah, I'm Steve.

1146
00:55:25,600 --> 00:55:27,640
Speaker 1: How do you? How are you off sides on a kickoff?

1147
00:55:28,040 --> 00:55:29,879
Speaker 1: With the new rules that don't allow you to even

1148
00:55:29,960 --> 00:55:31,960
Speaker 1: run up to the line, like back in the old days.

1149
00:55:32,640 --> 00:55:35,440
Speaker 1: Just step over the line on the kick. How does

1150
00:55:35,520 --> 00:55:37,279
Speaker 1: that happen? Is not? They don't call it off side.

1151
00:55:37,320 --> 00:55:39,200
Speaker 1: They call it off side? How does that happen? Problem

1152
00:55:39,400 --> 00:55:41,279
Speaker 1: is the guys can't see the kick coming, so they

1153
00:55:41,360 --> 00:55:43,080
Speaker 1: trying to get as much of a break as they can't.

1154
00:55:43,080 --> 00:55:45,920
Speaker 1: So they try and time it and it doesn't time up.

1155
00:55:45,960 --> 00:55:48,400
Speaker 1: But you're not even moving anymore. One guy in Baltimore

1156
00:55:48,480 --> 00:55:52,839
Speaker 1: this last week got called because he wasn't a lined right.

1157
00:55:52,880 --> 00:55:55,200
Speaker 1: It was an illegal formation on kickoff because his fun

1158
00:55:55,400 --> 00:55:57,680
Speaker 1: wasn't on the line. He got illegal formations too. We

1159
00:55:57,800 --> 00:56:00,759
Speaker 1: have those all too. I'll see your I'll see your

1160
00:56:00,800 --> 00:56:05,719
Speaker 1: offsides on a kickoff, legal formation. That's I mean. We

1161
00:56:05,800 --> 00:56:08,799
Speaker 1: try to focus this a little bit. Steve says he's

1162
00:56:09,200 --> 00:56:12,359
Speaker 1: encouraged by the Bill's performance. Hips Are you encouraged, Chris?

1163
00:56:12,760 --> 00:56:16,879
Speaker 1: Were you encouraged? Uh? It's hard to be. Yeah, you can't.

1164
00:56:17,080 --> 00:56:21,839
Speaker 1: You can't win with eighty yards passing they should have, right,

1165
00:56:21,920 --> 00:56:25,279
Speaker 1: but they should have won with eighty yards passed and

1166
00:56:25,320 --> 00:56:28,279
Speaker 1: they had one and to win was forty thirty nine

1167
00:56:28,400 --> 00:56:30,719
Speaker 1: yards in one play. You shouldn't have to win with

1168
00:56:30,840 --> 00:56:34,160
Speaker 1: They should have won with thirty with what what's eighty

1169
00:56:34,280 --> 00:56:38,040
Speaker 1: what's what's how many yards they have passing? Uh, one

1170
00:56:38,080 --> 00:56:40,279
Speaker 1: hundred and something? They should have won with thirty nine

1171
00:56:40,360 --> 00:56:43,320
Speaker 1: yards less than that. You shouldn't have to win like that.

1172
00:56:43,760 --> 00:56:49,400
Speaker 1: And because of come on, offenses finish. The offense is

1173
00:56:49,440 --> 00:56:52,480
Speaker 1: so ineffective that they are forced to put the defenses

1174
00:56:52,520 --> 00:56:54,360
Speaker 1: back to the wall like that on a regular basis,

1175
00:56:54,719 --> 00:56:57,000
Speaker 1: and there cannot be any miscus at all on special teams.

1176
00:56:57,040 --> 00:57:00,279
Speaker 1: There were a couple of major miscuse yesterday. It's one

1177
00:57:00,320 --> 00:57:02,000
Speaker 1: in spite of those two, I know, but they did

1178
00:57:02,080 --> 00:57:05,160
Speaker 1: not win. It's not encouraging to me. Oh, come on,

1179
00:57:05,880 --> 00:57:07,600
Speaker 1: there's a lot. There's a lot in that defense that

1180
00:57:08,280 --> 00:57:10,680
Speaker 1: gives you a chance, must make you feel good. I mean,

1181
00:57:10,760 --> 00:57:15,200
Speaker 1: that defense is playing the defense. You know, they're behind

1182
00:57:15,280 --> 00:57:20,040
Speaker 1: Baltimore and Jacksonville in the defenses in this league. Baltimore

1183
00:57:20,040 --> 00:57:23,400
Speaker 1: and jackson And that's great. And think about it. We

1184
00:57:23,480 --> 00:57:28,080
Speaker 1: love everything about played our offense. Baltimore played our offense.

1185
00:57:28,120 --> 00:57:30,120
Speaker 1: See if we can't play the paper shooting game here

1186
00:57:30,160 --> 00:57:33,000
Speaker 1: though we can't do that. We've got one phase of

1187
00:57:33,080 --> 00:57:37,960
Speaker 1: this team that is operating at peak efficiency, you know,

1188
00:57:38,080 --> 00:57:41,360
Speaker 1: while we've got the other two that are struggling right now.

1189
00:57:42,200 --> 00:57:45,919
Speaker 1: Tell me how many games in this league as tight

1190
00:57:46,000 --> 00:57:49,240
Speaker 1: as it is, that you're gonna win when one phase

1191
00:57:49,400 --> 00:57:51,880
Speaker 1: is working at optimum efficiency and the other two are

1192
00:57:52,080 --> 00:57:55,320
Speaker 1: are struggling to be functional. You want nine? Last year?

1193
00:57:56,280 --> 00:57:59,360
Speaker 1: Offense is better? Last was better? Last year it was

1194
00:57:59,520 --> 00:58:01,920
Speaker 1: I don't know it was. I don't know. Were they

1195
00:58:02,000 --> 00:58:04,640
Speaker 1: sixth and running last year? Six rushing? At sixth and rushing?

1196
00:58:04,880 --> 00:58:07,200
Speaker 1: Offense is better last year, brownie. Let's get you in

1197
00:58:07,240 --> 00:58:09,960
Speaker 1: on our Twitter poll. If Josh Allen is healthy, who

1198
00:58:10,040 --> 00:58:12,200
Speaker 1: did the Bill start at quarterback this Sunday? What do

1199
00:58:12,280 --> 00:58:16,240
Speaker 1: you think if he's healthy? Who? I didn't think about that? Um,

1200
00:58:16,920 --> 00:58:18,840
Speaker 1: wait a minute, why not? You don't eat well? No,

1201
00:58:19,000 --> 00:58:23,120
Speaker 1: I was. Maybe it's because I kind of want him

1202
00:58:23,120 --> 00:58:26,480
Speaker 1: to get a different perspective for a week, you know,

1203
00:58:26,680 --> 00:58:31,000
Speaker 1: just maybe watch. Maybe I've answered the question whether he's

1204
00:58:31,040 --> 00:58:33,320
Speaker 1: healthy or not. Well, who's who you think is gonna play?

1205
00:58:34,760 --> 00:58:37,400
Speaker 1: You can't play Peter Man. Okay, I don't think he can.

1206
00:58:38,200 --> 00:58:41,640
Speaker 1: If you're a player on that roster, and you you've

1207
00:58:41,680 --> 00:58:45,680
Speaker 1: been around Nate and believe me, the kids the ultimate professional.

1208
00:58:45,840 --> 00:58:50,040
Speaker 1: He does everything the right way. He prepares properly, there's just,

1209
00:58:50,240 --> 00:58:53,600
Speaker 1: for some reason, there's a disconnect between practice and the

1210
00:58:53,680 --> 00:58:57,200
Speaker 1: game field, and there's even a disconnect between He even

1211
00:58:57,280 --> 00:59:01,040
Speaker 1: performs well in preseason games, but it just doesn't translate

1212
00:59:01,720 --> 00:59:05,680
Speaker 1: on a consistent enough basis where I don't know how

1213
00:59:05,760 --> 00:59:08,720
Speaker 1: you can go back to him. I mean, he's got

1214
00:59:08,880 --> 00:59:12,800
Speaker 1: nine interceptions on seventy nine career pass attempts. It's an

1215
00:59:12,880 --> 00:59:18,200
Speaker 1: interception percentage of over eleven percent. That's that's about quadruple

1216
00:59:18,320 --> 00:59:21,600
Speaker 1: what the league averages. It's just not a you can't

1217
00:59:22,120 --> 00:59:25,600
Speaker 1: honestly say, as a coach, we're going back to Nate

1218
00:59:25,640 --> 00:59:27,400
Speaker 1: because he gives us the best chance to win here.

1219
00:59:27,440 --> 00:59:29,480
Speaker 1: Of course, so I don't think he's an option here

1220
00:59:29,480 --> 00:59:32,720
Speaker 1: in this equations. So now you're down to Derek Anderson

1221
00:59:32,720 --> 00:59:36,919
Speaker 1: and Josh Allen. If you feel like we're assuming Josh

1222
00:59:37,040 --> 00:59:40,360
Speaker 1: is healthy enough to play in this scenario here, okay,

1223
00:59:41,320 --> 00:59:43,800
Speaker 1: I think you have to turn to Derek, provided there

1224
00:59:44,440 --> 00:59:47,760
Speaker 1: is enough of the offensive playbook that he has mastered

1225
00:59:48,040 --> 00:59:50,960
Speaker 1: where you can put together a scaled down game plan

1226
00:59:51,160 --> 00:59:53,360
Speaker 1: for him to execute for you on Sunday. I think

1227
00:59:53,400 --> 00:59:57,120
Speaker 1: you have to turn to that right now. I think

1228
00:59:57,240 --> 01:00:01,600
Speaker 1: Josh needs to get a ferent perspective of the game

1229
01:00:02,200 --> 01:00:06,280
Speaker 1: from the sidelines, listening with the earpiece to how Derek

1230
01:00:06,480 --> 01:00:10,240
Speaker 1: is interacting with the coaching staff, how he's executing plays,

1231
01:00:10,920 --> 01:00:16,440
Speaker 1: and gain some knowledge from that. And maybe after a

1232
01:00:16,560 --> 01:00:19,880
Speaker 1: game or two with Derek in there, you know, as

1233
01:00:19,960 --> 01:00:22,840
Speaker 1: long as Josh is making the right strides in practice,

1234
01:00:23,680 --> 01:00:25,360
Speaker 1: maybe you go back to him so he can get

1235
01:00:25,400 --> 01:00:31,000
Speaker 1: the experience. Yeah, I would know, And I understand what

1236
01:00:31,040 --> 01:00:33,320
Speaker 1: you're saying. Yeah, I mean, I just think he needs

1237
01:00:33,360 --> 01:00:36,200
Speaker 1: a different perspective, even even if it's just for a

1238
01:00:36,320 --> 01:00:39,000
Speaker 1: game or to get whatever you feel is the right

1239
01:00:39,080 --> 01:00:43,040
Speaker 1: amount of time. I just think I'm worried he's he's

1240
01:00:43,120 --> 01:00:47,640
Speaker 1: getting to a point where there's diminishing returns here by

1241
01:00:47,760 --> 01:00:51,920
Speaker 1: him playing. That's my concern. Diminishing returns. Yeah, I mean,

1242
01:00:52,000 --> 01:00:54,640
Speaker 1: he's not gonna play much better. He's not gonna play

1243
01:00:54,640 --> 01:00:57,320
Speaker 1: any better standing on the sidelines. But I don't know

1244
01:00:57,400 --> 01:01:00,160
Speaker 1: if he's Yesterday, there were stretches of that game game

1245
01:01:00,200 --> 01:01:04,280
Speaker 1: where I was I found myself asking myself, is he

1246
01:01:05,040 --> 01:01:08,040
Speaker 1: is he getting better by playing right now? With what

1247
01:01:08,160 --> 01:01:10,600
Speaker 1: I'm seeing on the field? All right, So then here's

1248
01:01:10,640 --> 01:01:13,960
Speaker 1: the problem. And I don't and look, I don't have

1249
01:01:14,120 --> 01:01:16,920
Speaker 1: the train die to know definitively yes or no. I'm

1250
01:01:16,960 --> 01:01:19,520
Speaker 1: not going to pretend to The coach is certainly no

1251
01:01:19,640 --> 01:01:21,200
Speaker 1: better than I do. I get you, But here's the

1252
01:01:21,320 --> 01:01:26,160
Speaker 1: here's the road you're going down. How do you you know,

1253
01:01:26,280 --> 01:01:30,080
Speaker 1: get your great defense too, and all the guys that

1254
01:01:30,160 --> 01:01:33,000
Speaker 1: are playing around him or whoever this quarterback is, say, okay,

1255
01:01:33,520 --> 01:01:36,120
Speaker 1: this week, and we're gonna give Derek Anderson the ball,

1256
01:01:37,400 --> 01:01:39,320
Speaker 1: and you come out and you play well one and

1257
01:01:39,560 --> 01:01:42,680
Speaker 1: and if you keep winning, you know, obviously he's got

1258
01:01:42,800 --> 01:01:50,440
Speaker 1: to stay in the game. Yep, Okay, Well I don't know.

1259
01:01:50,600 --> 01:01:52,200
Speaker 1: I mean, Josh I was gonna sit the bench the

1260
01:01:52,280 --> 01:01:53,680
Speaker 1: rest of the year. Well, I don't know about the

1261
01:01:53,720 --> 01:01:55,240
Speaker 1: rest of the year. Well, then what are you gonna

1262
01:01:55,240 --> 01:01:57,000
Speaker 1: do if he comes out and he has like one

1263
01:01:57,080 --> 01:01:59,880
Speaker 1: bad throw after going five and one in these six games,

1264
01:02:00,040 --> 01:02:02,840
Speaker 1: next six games. I'm not saying it's easy. This is

1265
01:02:02,840 --> 01:02:05,680
Speaker 1: a tough decision. It's a tough decision. Well, yeah, it's

1266
01:02:05,880 --> 01:02:10,240
Speaker 1: but you're yeah, I just think the consequences of benching him.

1267
01:02:11,360 --> 01:02:13,439
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think you're he's gonna get any

1268
01:02:13,480 --> 01:02:17,480
Speaker 1: better sitting on the bench. And we knew this going in.

1269
01:02:17,600 --> 01:02:19,640
Speaker 1: I mean, that's your big sixty four dollars questions to say,

1270
01:02:19,640 --> 01:02:21,520
Speaker 1: you go to Josh Allen early in the season. I'm

1271
01:02:21,520 --> 01:02:23,800
Speaker 1: not saying benching for the year, but well, how do

1272
01:02:23,800 --> 01:02:25,120
Speaker 1: you get him back on the field? And you say,

1273
01:02:25,160 --> 01:02:26,920
Speaker 1: you know what we're gonna We're gonna not give ourselves

1274
01:02:27,000 --> 01:02:30,000
Speaker 1: the best chance to develop our quarterback for the feud.

1275
01:02:30,120 --> 01:02:33,720
Speaker 1: You're doing that now? Anyway he's better than Nate Peterman.

1276
01:02:33,920 --> 01:02:37,120
Speaker 1: Well yeah, but now Derek's here, So what are you doing?

1277
01:02:37,920 --> 01:02:40,000
Speaker 1: Well trying to get Nate. We'll try and find somebody

1278
01:02:40,000 --> 01:02:42,520
Speaker 1: who can win. Now, if if Derek, if you can't

1279
01:02:42,520 --> 01:02:45,440
Speaker 1: have it both ways, you know that's right, give yourselves

1280
01:02:45,480 --> 01:02:47,600
Speaker 1: a chance to win. If Derek Anderson is not the

1281
01:02:47,640 --> 01:02:49,960
Speaker 1: best chance to win, and how do you know if

1282
01:02:50,000 --> 01:02:52,200
Speaker 1: he is or not? You have nobody. That's a difficult

1283
01:02:52,280 --> 01:02:54,919
Speaker 1: decision to make because you're you're really at a cross

1284
01:02:55,040 --> 01:02:59,760
Speaker 1: roads here. I mean, the best way to learn, you know,

1285
01:03:00,000 --> 01:03:02,920
Speaker 1: I'll agree with you is usually to play. But I

1286
01:03:03,040 --> 01:03:05,840
Speaker 1: think there gets to there comes a point in time

1287
01:03:06,800 --> 01:03:10,600
Speaker 1: because I think we can all agree that that Josh

1288
01:03:10,720 --> 01:03:14,800
Speaker 1: at quarterback is not the only thing that's lacking in

1289
01:03:14,880 --> 01:03:17,480
Speaker 1: production on offense. I think we can all agree on

1290
01:03:17,560 --> 01:03:20,800
Speaker 1: that it goes much deeper than quarterback. Yeah, that's fine,

1291
01:03:20,840 --> 01:03:23,160
Speaker 1: that's all fine and dandy, But if you bench him,

1292
01:03:24,080 --> 01:03:28,480
Speaker 1: you're already given him the idea that you're he's not

1293
01:03:28,520 --> 01:03:30,280
Speaker 1: gonna make it. He's not getting better. No, he's not

1294
01:03:30,360 --> 01:03:32,480
Speaker 1: doing well. I think there are ways to go about

1295
01:03:32,560 --> 01:03:35,960
Speaker 1: that where you can say, look, Josh, you got banged

1296
01:03:36,000 --> 01:03:39,880
Speaker 1: up last week. Let's just take a breath. Let's take

1297
01:03:39,920 --> 01:03:42,919
Speaker 1: a breath this week. Breath. I want you to watch

1298
01:03:43,040 --> 01:03:45,080
Speaker 1: Derek see how he plays. That says the same thing.

1299
01:03:45,520 --> 01:03:47,880
Speaker 1: You're stinking it up. So we're gonna bench you. So

1300
01:03:48,160 --> 01:03:50,680
Speaker 1: now what's he do? He's gonna sit over there and

1301
01:03:50,760 --> 01:03:53,400
Speaker 1: watch and he's there's no easy answers, Steve, But you

1302
01:03:53,480 --> 01:03:56,960
Speaker 1: got an offense that has to be better. What are

1303
01:03:56,960 --> 01:03:59,840
Speaker 1: you saying to the rest of your football team when

1304
01:04:01,080 --> 01:04:04,120
Speaker 1: eighty yards passing? Except see, I disagree with both of you.

1305
01:04:04,200 --> 01:04:06,120
Speaker 1: I watched that game yesterday and I watched the broadcast,

1306
01:04:06,160 --> 01:04:09,120
Speaker 1: so I wasn't in there. That offense doesn't have to

1307
01:04:09,200 --> 01:04:14,040
Speaker 1: be much better. Come on, Steve, it can be, no question,

1308
01:04:14,280 --> 01:04:16,840
Speaker 1: but it doesn't have to be. It can be, it

1309
01:04:17,000 --> 01:04:19,600
Speaker 1: should be, it should be. It doesn't have to be.

1310
01:04:19,680 --> 01:04:21,840
Speaker 1: They should have a game without it. They should have.

1311
01:04:21,920 --> 01:04:23,840
Speaker 1: They could have knelt down in the last ten minutes

1312
01:04:23,880 --> 01:04:25,400
Speaker 1: that game given themselves. As long as they don't throw

1313
01:04:25,440 --> 01:04:28,280
Speaker 1: that pick six, you're not gonna win games throwing eighty

1314
01:04:28,360 --> 01:04:30,920
Speaker 1: yards a game. We said it last year with Tyrod.

1315
01:04:32,360 --> 01:04:34,480
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think you guys are over reaction

1316
01:04:34,560 --> 01:04:37,600
Speaker 1: to the to the badness of the offense. It's bad.

1317
01:04:38,040 --> 01:04:41,640
Speaker 1: I know it's bad. I watched they're they're averaging less guys.

1318
01:04:43,360 --> 01:04:44,920
Speaker 1: They should have won the game. In spite of that.

1319
01:04:45,760 --> 01:04:48,120
Speaker 1: They should have won that game. When you play that way,

1320
01:04:48,200 --> 01:04:49,960
Speaker 1: it's no surprise that you don't win that With that

1321
01:04:50,080 --> 01:04:53,760
Speaker 1: game absolute offense, it's an absolutely position to win. They

1322
01:04:53,840 --> 01:04:55,920
Speaker 1: did not. No one could be surprised when you look

1323
01:04:55,920 --> 01:04:57,960
Speaker 1: at their offensive production in the way they played offense,

1324
01:04:58,360 --> 01:05:00,760
Speaker 1: that's what you get. But putten, how different would it be?

1325
01:05:01,080 --> 01:05:02,680
Speaker 1: How different would it be if they wouldn't have muff

1326
01:05:02,680 --> 01:05:04,240
Speaker 1: that punt they ended up they wouldn't end up winning

1327
01:05:04,280 --> 01:05:05,960
Speaker 1: that game, which would have been what was a nine

1328
01:05:06,000 --> 01:05:10,520
Speaker 1: to six. The offensive would have been a problem, big problem. Yeah,

1329
01:05:10,760 --> 01:05:12,800
Speaker 1: And how many games, Steve are you're winning nine to

1330
01:05:12,920 --> 01:05:15,560
Speaker 1: six in this league? That's how many games. They won

1331
01:05:15,640 --> 01:05:17,840
Speaker 1: a ton of them last year like that, not nine

1332
01:05:17,880 --> 01:05:20,640
Speaker 1: to six, getting turnovers and having an offense that through

1333
01:05:20,680 --> 01:05:23,880
Speaker 1: for less than two hundred yards. But also ran a

1334
01:05:23,920 --> 01:05:26,160
Speaker 1: football DJ and Hamburg on the line with the Hello DJ,

1335
01:05:28,360 --> 01:05:33,280
Speaker 1: DJ gone, let's go to Steve and Rochester. Hello Steve,

1336
01:05:33,320 --> 01:05:36,760
Speaker 1: you're on the air with this guys. I got two

1337
01:05:36,880 --> 01:05:39,840
Speaker 1: questions for your first off. I'm curious you guys have

1338
01:05:39,920 --> 01:05:42,720
Speaker 1: any insight on what happened to Robert Foster. Seemed like

1339
01:05:42,800 --> 01:05:44,400
Speaker 1: he was on the field a lot the first week

1340
01:05:44,480 --> 01:05:47,240
Speaker 1: or two, maybe even three, and haven't seen him since. Yeah,

1341
01:05:47,280 --> 01:05:50,520
Speaker 1: he had two snaps yesterday. By that by the account

1342
01:05:50,560 --> 01:05:54,280
Speaker 1: that I got, I saw he had two snaps. Ray

1343
01:05:54,360 --> 01:05:56,920
Speaker 1: Ray McLeod had played in like twenty one percent of

1344
01:05:57,000 --> 01:05:59,640
Speaker 1: the snaps the law. The guy who was out there

1345
01:05:59,720 --> 01:06:04,680
Speaker 1: the most was Zay Jones. Yeah, I played the whole game,

1346
01:06:04,720 --> 01:06:08,040
Speaker 1: and then also Kelvin Benjamin played most of that too.

1347
01:06:08,240 --> 01:06:13,600
Speaker 1: But it looks as though uh Andre Holmes is getting

1348
01:06:13,680 --> 01:06:17,120
Speaker 1: more snaps than Robert Foster, probably because they depend on it.

1349
01:06:17,240 --> 01:06:19,240
Speaker 1: He's more dependable, knows what he's doing better, and they

1350
01:06:19,280 --> 01:06:21,600
Speaker 1: trust him more. He's getting some targets too, so I

1351
01:06:21,680 --> 01:06:24,400
Speaker 1: think Andre Holmes has emerged and evolved into a guy

1352
01:06:24,480 --> 01:06:27,480
Speaker 1: they like better. That's all. He's probably out playing Foster

1353
01:06:27,640 --> 01:06:30,400
Speaker 1: in practice. That's about his way. That's as as far

1354
01:06:30,480 --> 01:06:32,720
Speaker 1: as it goes. I agree with that. But I think

1355
01:06:32,800 --> 01:06:36,000
Speaker 1: Holmes is um similar to Benjamin in a way. And

1356
01:06:36,040 --> 01:06:38,120
Speaker 1: I think the lack of speed and a deep threat

1357
01:06:38,240 --> 01:06:40,560
Speaker 1: is absolutely killing us. A stretching the field it is.

1358
01:06:41,600 --> 01:06:44,560
Speaker 1: It is allowing defenses to crouch down and squat on

1359
01:06:44,680 --> 01:06:48,680
Speaker 1: routes and things like that because there's no field stretching

1360
01:06:48,760 --> 01:06:51,840
Speaker 1: threat right now. Well I don't know that. Yeah, that all,

1361
01:06:52,840 --> 01:06:55,800
Speaker 1: I get it. But it's putting Robert Foster out there

1362
01:06:55,960 --> 01:06:59,200
Speaker 1: to run a meaningless nine route unless you can complete

1363
01:06:59,240 --> 01:07:01,040
Speaker 1: the thing is not going to help you that much.

1364
01:07:01,440 --> 01:07:03,040
Speaker 1: Because you can send a guy as long as he

1365
01:07:03,080 --> 01:07:05,200
Speaker 1: can get through the defense and they got to cover him.

1366
01:07:05,240 --> 01:07:07,360
Speaker 1: They're gonna cover whoever's out there. You need a guy

1367
01:07:07,440 --> 01:07:09,400
Speaker 1: that's out there that you know can catch the football

1368
01:07:09,520 --> 01:07:11,040
Speaker 1: is going to be in the right spot. And I

1369
01:07:11,120 --> 01:07:12,960
Speaker 1: think it Fosters not on the field. That's got to

1370
01:07:13,000 --> 01:07:15,720
Speaker 1: be the reason. I don't think they trust that he

1371
01:07:15,880 --> 01:07:20,680
Speaker 1: knows right where he's gonna be. And Andre Holmes, it

1372
01:07:21,040 --> 01:07:23,760
Speaker 1: is going to be there now. Yeah, the athletic ability,

1373
01:07:23,800 --> 01:07:27,120
Speaker 1: the speed isn't there. But the trade off is one

1374
01:07:27,240 --> 01:07:28,880
Speaker 1: I think you gotta make. If you're trying to run

1375
01:07:28,920 --> 01:07:31,480
Speaker 1: an offense and give a young quarterback up a target,

1376
01:07:31,760 --> 01:07:33,840
Speaker 1: he's got to know. Everybody else has got to be

1377
01:07:33,920 --> 01:07:36,240
Speaker 1: in the right spot, whether they can get there in

1378
01:07:36,280 --> 01:07:38,640
Speaker 1: a four or three speed or not. Thanks for Carlin.

1379
01:07:38,720 --> 01:07:41,200
Speaker 1: Let's go to Christian in Hamburg. Hello, Christian, welcome, you're

1380
01:07:41,240 --> 01:07:44,120
Speaker 1: on the show with us. Hey, guys, all right, still

1381
01:07:44,280 --> 01:07:47,280
Speaker 1: understand I just don't understand the commitment to Petermann one

1382
01:07:47,280 --> 01:07:48,720
Speaker 1: of the what are people are gonna start getting mad

1383
01:07:48,800 --> 01:07:51,920
Speaker 1: within the Bills organization? And here is a Jones say,

1384
01:07:51,960 --> 01:07:54,360
Speaker 1: supporter of things about him. What does this guy do

1385
01:07:54,440 --> 01:07:56,040
Speaker 1: beyind closed doors that we don't see. I mean, he

1386
01:07:56,080 --> 01:07:58,760
Speaker 1: seems to have to know people and the emperor has

1387
01:07:58,800 --> 01:08:01,640
Speaker 1: no clothes. I don't understand it. Well, Christian, here's the thing.

1388
01:08:01,920 --> 01:08:05,040
Speaker 1: Here's the thing, Christian. Here's the thing. Christian. He does

1389
01:08:05,120 --> 01:08:07,200
Speaker 1: everything right until he gets on the field. That's the

1390
01:08:07,320 --> 01:08:10,240
Speaker 1: that's the bottom line. He has done. He has done

1391
01:08:10,280 --> 01:08:14,880
Speaker 1: everything right, uh, on and off the off the field. Uh,

1392
01:08:15,440 --> 01:08:18,519
Speaker 1: through the preseason, through the OTAs, through the meeting times,

1393
01:08:18,600 --> 01:08:22,479
Speaker 1: through practices, through everything. He does absolutely everything right. And

1394
01:08:22,880 --> 01:08:25,439
Speaker 1: uh is a great teammate. He's a great asset to

1395
01:08:25,520 --> 01:08:28,200
Speaker 1: the team, a great pro. He works hard at it,

1396
01:08:28,280 --> 01:08:30,799
Speaker 1: it's important to him. But when he gets on the field,

1397
01:08:31,000 --> 01:08:34,559
Speaker 1: he stinks. And he has done it and it's it's

1398
01:08:34,600 --> 01:08:36,560
Speaker 1: been his the way it has gone for him. So

1399
01:08:37,040 --> 01:08:39,360
Speaker 1: he's there because he earns his way onto the field,

1400
01:08:39,400 --> 01:08:42,080
Speaker 1: but once he gets there, he cannot do anything to

1401
01:08:42,280 --> 01:08:45,320
Speaker 1: stay there. He does, he has done nothing to stay

1402
01:08:45,400 --> 01:08:47,280
Speaker 1: on the field as the start of the building. And

1403
01:08:47,360 --> 01:08:49,840
Speaker 1: let's face he earned it. He had you know, he

1404
01:08:49,880 --> 01:08:52,639
Speaker 1: had a J. McCarron, he had number one draft pick

1405
01:08:52,720 --> 01:08:55,200
Speaker 1: in there and you had him and he came out

1406
01:08:55,280 --> 01:08:57,880
Speaker 1: on top of that competition. But I'm telling you there's

1407
01:08:57,920 --> 01:09:00,320
Speaker 1: just you can't deny that when he gets out there

1408
01:09:00,360 --> 01:09:03,280
Speaker 1: on the field, it does not translate. And I think

1409
01:09:04,160 --> 01:09:07,920
Speaker 1: Christian to your point, Yeah, I think they're beginning to

1410
01:09:08,000 --> 01:09:09,720
Speaker 1: see the fact that he doesn't have any clothes on.

1411
01:09:10,439 --> 01:09:12,920
Speaker 1: The Emperor has no clothes. Christian, would you rather his

1412
01:09:13,000 --> 01:09:16,960
Speaker 1: teammates rip them post game in the media publicly? No,

1413
01:09:17,120 --> 01:09:19,000
Speaker 1: I think it's no. I think they're being fair, But

1414
01:09:19,080 --> 01:09:21,080
Speaker 1: I think what should have happened is they should have

1415
01:09:21,120 --> 01:09:23,800
Speaker 1: cut him after week one or we're two and if

1416
01:09:23,800 --> 01:09:25,920
Speaker 1: people keep saying we knew all along Allen was a project,

1417
01:09:25,920 --> 01:09:28,760
Speaker 1: then they should have signed a veteran quarterback in the beginning. Well, Listen,

1418
01:09:28,800 --> 01:09:31,519
Speaker 1: they were calling Derek Anderson in the spring. They were

1419
01:09:31,720 --> 01:09:34,760
Speaker 1: so he wasn't ready, and he's at on a list

1420
01:09:34,840 --> 01:09:36,680
Speaker 1: of quarterbacks, so they were trying to find a guy.

1421
01:09:36,720 --> 01:09:39,840
Speaker 1: They went out and got a J. McCarron before they

1422
01:09:39,880 --> 01:09:43,479
Speaker 1: could find Because here's the thing, veteran quarterbacks they got

1423
01:09:43,560 --> 01:09:46,360
Speaker 1: to know they're gonna come in and be a backup

1424
01:09:46,520 --> 01:09:49,519
Speaker 1: or a mentor to whoever the Bills were going to draft.

1425
01:09:49,560 --> 01:09:51,760
Speaker 1: If they the guys they called before the draft, I

1426
01:09:51,760 --> 01:09:53,880
Speaker 1: don't know if McCarron came in with that right. If

1427
01:09:53,960 --> 01:09:57,439
Speaker 1: McCarron wanted to play, McCarron was sitting behind Andy Dalton

1428
01:09:57,479 --> 01:09:59,439
Speaker 1: and Cincinnati. He wanted to play, and that's why the

1429
01:09:59,479 --> 01:10:02,519
Speaker 1: Bills trade at him. He wanted to He did not

1430
01:10:02,680 --> 01:10:04,200
Speaker 1: want to sit here and be a mentor like that,

1431
01:10:04,400 --> 01:10:06,880
Speaker 1: and that's why he's not here. So you have to

1432
01:10:06,960 --> 01:10:10,040
Speaker 1: find somebody who will say yes under those conditions. Because

1433
01:10:10,080 --> 01:10:11,800
Speaker 1: a lot of the guys out there are at a

1434
01:10:11,880 --> 01:10:13,439
Speaker 1: point in their career like I'm going to come in

1435
01:10:13,600 --> 01:10:15,639
Speaker 1: and I want to play. I don't want to come

1436
01:10:15,680 --> 01:10:18,719
Speaker 1: in and be, you know, a babysitter or a stop

1437
01:10:18,800 --> 01:10:22,320
Speaker 1: gap or a bridge quarterback. I wanted the chance to

1438
01:10:22,439 --> 01:10:25,280
Speaker 1: earn the job. They offered Aj a chance to earn

1439
01:10:25,320 --> 01:10:27,800
Speaker 1: the job. He couldn't do it, and now he's backing

1440
01:10:27,880 --> 01:10:33,439
Speaker 1: up in Oakland. So it they did make every effort

1441
01:10:33,520 --> 01:10:36,360
Speaker 1: to sign a veteran quarterback. I'll tell you what really

1442
01:10:36,400 --> 01:10:38,800
Speaker 1: worries me is that we talked last week about being

1443
01:10:38,840 --> 01:10:41,080
Speaker 1: able to recruit players to the Bills going forward with

1444
01:10:41,120 --> 01:10:45,040
Speaker 1: a four quarterback situation. What about recording recruiting defensive players.

1445
01:10:45,080 --> 01:10:46,479
Speaker 1: I think the defense and us to just be out

1446
01:10:46,520 --> 01:10:48,519
Speaker 1: of their mind and playing so well and I haven't

1447
01:10:48,520 --> 01:10:51,120
Speaker 1: any support whatsoever. How do you bring people to the

1448
01:10:51,320 --> 01:10:54,120
Speaker 1: Bills defense going forward when they have such a horrible oftime?

1449
01:10:54,320 --> 01:10:56,920
Speaker 1: Money talks, Yeah, money talk. They'll want to be They

1450
01:10:57,040 --> 01:10:58,240
Speaker 1: know that they're going to get a chance to be

1451
01:10:58,320 --> 01:11:01,040
Speaker 1: on a really good defense and that that will that'll

1452
01:11:01,080 --> 01:11:04,040
Speaker 1: make them money. So yeah, that won't that that won't

1453
01:11:04,080 --> 01:11:07,880
Speaker 1: be an issue. They'll look defensive players, free agents will

1454
01:11:07,920 --> 01:11:10,200
Speaker 1: love to come and play on this defense. That's a

1455
01:11:10,360 --> 01:11:14,120
Speaker 1: that's a plus. Uh. And you know what else some

1456
01:11:14,240 --> 01:11:17,240
Speaker 1: other teams might do is they might come in as

1457
01:11:17,520 --> 01:11:19,280
Speaker 1: wide receivers might want to come in and play on

1458
01:11:19,360 --> 01:11:21,840
Speaker 1: this team. And it sounds crazy, but no, and they're

1459
01:11:21,840 --> 01:11:23,439
Speaker 1: gonna have a shot to win, and they're gonna that

1460
01:11:23,640 --> 01:11:25,240
Speaker 1: they're gonna be able to step on the field. There's

1461
01:11:25,240 --> 01:11:28,439
Speaker 1: not gonna be too much competition for starting jobs. You know,

1462
01:11:28,560 --> 01:11:31,280
Speaker 1: free agent free agent wide receivers may take a second

1463
01:11:31,320 --> 01:11:33,519
Speaker 1: look at Buffalo as well, because they're gonna know there's

1464
01:11:33,520 --> 01:11:36,000
Speaker 1: gonna be some spots on offense that are they're gonna

1465
01:11:36,040 --> 01:11:39,040
Speaker 1: need to be filled. Chris sticking around for a little bit, right,

1478
01:12:26,880 --> 01:12:29,840
Speaker 1: quarterback dilemma. The Bill's face right now. That's our twitter

1479
01:12:30,000 --> 01:12:32,200
Speaker 1: pole question. It's not really a pole. If Josh Allen

1480
01:12:32,320 --> 01:12:34,800
Speaker 1: is healthy, who did the Bills starting quarterback this Sunday?

1481
01:12:34,800 --> 01:12:36,479
Speaker 1: What's it saying the tweet sheet there? Stay Yeah, we

1482
01:12:36,560 --> 01:12:42,240
Speaker 1: get from Tiffany Daniels, one of our regular sadly twitters. Yeah,

1483
01:12:42,840 --> 01:12:44,680
Speaker 1: sadly you have to move on from Nate. He just

1484
01:12:44,760 --> 01:12:46,760
Speaker 1: can't get it done on Sunday. If Josh is healthy,

1485
01:12:46,760 --> 01:12:48,479
Speaker 1: you gotta stick with him. If you bench him, you

1486
01:12:48,479 --> 01:12:50,960
Speaker 1: could possibly damage his confidence moving forward. The team's in

1487
01:12:51,040 --> 01:12:53,720
Speaker 1: a tough spot at quarterback, and Anderson is not the

1488
01:12:53,880 --> 01:12:57,400
Speaker 1: answer either. Yeah, she's right. The team isn't a tough spot.

1489
01:12:57,439 --> 01:13:00,280
Speaker 1: There's no question about it. Josh is nicked up, he

1490
01:13:00,360 --> 01:13:05,920
Speaker 1: hasn't played well. Um, this game would probably have to

1491
01:13:05,960 --> 01:13:08,599
Speaker 1: be considered all step back. Don't you think, oh yeah,

1492
01:13:08,880 --> 01:13:10,679
Speaker 1: do you think he played Do you think he played

1493
01:13:10,760 --> 01:13:14,160
Speaker 1: worse yesterday than he did against the Titans. Yes, okay,

1494
01:13:14,439 --> 01:13:19,360
Speaker 1: all right, how about all right? So all right, let's

1495
01:13:19,400 --> 01:13:22,519
Speaker 1: get it from Eric dash Alan without a doubt, let

1496
01:13:22,640 --> 01:13:24,600
Speaker 1: him work through his struggles or allow the Bills to

1497
01:13:24,680 --> 01:13:28,360
Speaker 1: move on from him, soother sooner than later. I see. Yeah,

1498
01:13:29,520 --> 01:13:33,200
Speaker 1: we're way way long way away from even thinking about

1499
01:13:33,240 --> 01:13:36,280
Speaker 1: doing something like than Josh Allen. Uh. And then from

1500
01:13:36,640 --> 01:13:41,559
Speaker 1: Michael Myers, which is this Halloween Halloween character? Right, Derek

1501
01:13:41,600 --> 01:13:45,400
Speaker 1: Anderson should play regardless of the Derek anders should play

1502
01:13:45,479 --> 01:13:48,479
Speaker 1: regardless the rest of the season until at least December.

1503
01:13:49,000 --> 01:13:52,360
Speaker 1: Alan needs to get the basic fundamentals correct before stepping

1504
01:13:52,400 --> 01:13:55,439
Speaker 1: back on the field. Footwork, accuracy, reads, This should all

1505
01:13:55,520 --> 01:13:59,040
Speaker 1: be worked on in practice, not actual games. So they're saying,

1506
01:13:59,200 --> 01:14:04,280
Speaker 1: you know, start from scratch with Josh Allen, that's not it. Well, no,

1507
01:14:04,560 --> 01:14:06,680
Speaker 1: I mean that's not my concern. My concern is this.

1508
01:14:07,439 --> 01:14:11,120
Speaker 1: My concern is this, and Steve maybe you can speak

1509
01:14:11,160 --> 01:14:17,000
Speaker 1: to this. Uh, when how long does this defense go?

1510
01:14:17,600 --> 01:14:20,120
Speaker 1: Let's assume Josh is still in the lineup, he's healthy,

1511
01:14:20,120 --> 01:14:26,120
Speaker 1: he keeps playing, you how long before this defense? If

1512
01:14:26,160 --> 01:14:29,600
Speaker 1: the results don't change, starts to get frustrated to the

1513
01:14:29,640 --> 01:14:32,160
Speaker 1: point of I mean, what else we got to do

1514
01:14:32,240 --> 01:14:34,720
Speaker 1: to try to win games that will listen. I get

1515
01:14:34,800 --> 01:14:37,560
Speaker 1: when does that set in? I get that, And it

1516
01:14:37,760 --> 01:14:39,840
Speaker 1: is sad for the for guys on that side feel

1517
01:14:39,880 --> 01:14:43,040
Speaker 1: like you waste waste a year on a great defense

1518
01:14:43,120 --> 01:14:45,120
Speaker 1: that that's not going to happen. Because what will happen

1519
01:14:45,200 --> 01:14:47,320
Speaker 1: is they'll take great pride in what they're doing and

1520
01:14:47,360 --> 01:14:51,960
Speaker 1: they'll continue to do it weekend, week out. They'll be frustrated. Well, yeah,

1521
01:14:52,040 --> 01:14:55,040
Speaker 1: they're frustrated just like everybody's today. I mean, they're bummed

1522
01:14:55,040 --> 01:14:56,800
Speaker 1: that can't get it done today. And then they're saying

1523
01:14:56,840 --> 01:14:59,280
Speaker 1: all the right thing. Yeah, and believe me, they're probably

1524
01:14:59,320 --> 01:15:01,880
Speaker 1: feeling the right. I mean, this is something there's no

1525
01:15:02,040 --> 01:15:06,439
Speaker 1: question that it's a wasted effort by that defense because

1526
01:15:06,600 --> 01:15:08,920
Speaker 1: you know, the special teams couldn't help. The offensive, couldn't

1527
01:15:08,920 --> 01:15:11,519
Speaker 1: get help, couldn't help. But this, by the same token,

1528
01:15:11,960 --> 01:15:13,840
Speaker 1: the defense probably feels like there's a couple of plays

1529
01:15:13,880 --> 01:15:16,920
Speaker 1: they left out on the field. They're not gonna get

1530
01:15:16,960 --> 01:15:20,120
Speaker 1: so frustrated where they quit playing. They're gonna get frustrated

1531
01:15:20,160 --> 01:15:23,200
Speaker 1: where they might quit being friendly to the offense, you know,

1532
01:15:24,320 --> 01:15:26,720
Speaker 1: but they're gonna they're they're gonna keep playing in fact,

1533
01:15:26,720 --> 01:15:29,439
Speaker 1: because they'll take great pride in it, and they'll know

1534
01:15:29,760 --> 01:15:32,479
Speaker 1: that ultimately it'll help all of the defensive players on

1535
01:15:32,560 --> 01:15:36,320
Speaker 1: that defense in their careers individually. They're they're not gonna

1536
01:15:36,320 --> 01:15:39,639
Speaker 1: get so frustrated they quit playing. Now. They're gonna get frustrated,

1537
01:15:39,680 --> 01:15:41,280
Speaker 1: and the guys in the locker room may hear about it.

1538
01:15:41,400 --> 01:15:44,800
Speaker 1: But this locker room, despite the fact that you know

1539
01:15:45,000 --> 01:15:46,960
Speaker 1: they're not winning a lot of games or two and four,

1540
01:15:47,080 --> 01:15:49,479
Speaker 1: it's a pretty healthy locker room, pretty healthy atmosphere. And

1541
01:15:49,520 --> 01:15:52,280
Speaker 1: I wasn't insinuating that they wouldn't keep playing hard. I

1542
01:15:52,520 --> 01:15:55,160
Speaker 1: was just concerned that the frustration level would boil over

1543
01:15:55,880 --> 01:15:59,040
Speaker 1: because as well as they're playing, they're not getting the

1544
01:15:59,160 --> 01:16:03,080
Speaker 1: results that they want. Yeah, well, yeah, I get that,

1545
01:16:03,200 --> 01:16:06,320
Speaker 1: but that's not going to change anything about the dynamic

1546
01:16:06,360 --> 01:16:08,040
Speaker 1: of the team. I don't think. I think that everybody

1547
01:16:08,120 --> 01:16:10,080
Speaker 1: understands that they're going to be even on a on

1548
01:16:10,160 --> 01:16:12,639
Speaker 1: a team that's fifty fifty, there's gonna be some weeks

1549
01:16:12,680 --> 01:16:15,080
Speaker 1: where the offense scores forty and some weeks where they

1550
01:16:15,080 --> 01:16:17,200
Speaker 1: get shut out, And there's gonna be times when the

1551
01:16:17,280 --> 01:16:20,760
Speaker 1: defense gives up forty and times when they shut their

1552
01:16:20,800 --> 01:16:23,720
Speaker 1: opponent out. So, Um, that's the way it is on

1553
01:16:23,800 --> 01:16:26,200
Speaker 1: a football team, Chris Brown, question for you, and I

1554
01:16:26,200 --> 01:16:29,920
Speaker 1: asked Dan or lastly this question last hour people bring up, well,

1555
01:16:29,960 --> 01:16:31,960
Speaker 1: you don't want Josh Hallen to play if he's gonna

1556
01:16:32,000 --> 01:16:33,880
Speaker 1: get ruined, if it's gonna ruin him for you know,

1557
01:16:34,000 --> 01:16:36,160
Speaker 1: his entire career. What does it look like when a

1558
01:16:36,240 --> 01:16:39,559
Speaker 1: quarterback gets ruined? Are we seeing that now with Josh's

1559
01:16:39,720 --> 01:16:42,880
Speaker 1: I don't know yet, but maybe there's not enough evidence.

1560
01:16:42,880 --> 01:16:44,840
Speaker 1: And maybe that's why you do keep playing him, hoping

1561
01:16:44,960 --> 01:16:47,439
Speaker 1: he can pull himself out of it. Uh. Yeah, at

1562
01:16:47,520 --> 01:16:51,040
Speaker 1: least in terms of not being productive. Um, I don't

1563
01:16:51,040 --> 01:16:53,280
Speaker 1: want to believe that his confidence is shaken in any way,

1564
01:16:53,320 --> 01:16:57,040
Speaker 1: shape or form. Only Josh knows that. Um, you know,

1565
01:16:57,120 --> 01:16:59,040
Speaker 1: nobody can crawl in his head and know what his

1566
01:16:59,160 --> 01:17:05,200
Speaker 1: level of confidence is. I think what I just think

1567
01:17:05,240 --> 01:17:08,719
Speaker 1: we're in a very delicate place right now with his future.

1568
01:17:09,240 --> 01:17:11,800
Speaker 1: And believe me, I'm the first person to say that

1569
01:17:12,360 --> 01:17:16,840
Speaker 1: you'll learn quickest by playing. I'm just wondering if there

1570
01:17:16,880 --> 01:17:19,040
Speaker 1: are so many other things on the offensive side of

1571
01:17:19,080 --> 01:17:22,920
Speaker 1: the ball that are not right at this time, that

1572
01:17:23,760 --> 01:17:28,960
Speaker 1: is playing him going to be wholly beneficial. That's my concern.

1573
01:17:31,040 --> 01:17:32,800
Speaker 1: So I guess in the grand scheme of things, it's

1574
01:17:32,800 --> 01:17:35,840
Speaker 1: probably less about what Josh is doing and more about

1575
01:17:35,960 --> 01:17:38,559
Speaker 1: the whole thing and what's going on on that side

1576
01:17:38,600 --> 01:17:41,240
Speaker 1: of the ball, and is it beneficial with all of

1577
01:17:41,320 --> 01:17:44,080
Speaker 1: those other issues for Josh to keep playing. That's where

1578
01:17:44,120 --> 01:17:45,960
Speaker 1: I'm coming from. I think there's a lot of issues

1579
01:17:46,000 --> 01:17:47,439
Speaker 1: in play too, And I think one of the things

1580
01:17:47,479 --> 01:17:49,400
Speaker 1: you got to do if you're the coaching staff, it

1581
01:17:49,560 --> 01:17:53,080
Speaker 1: is about winning this next game. You got to find

1582
01:17:53,120 --> 01:17:54,560
Speaker 1: a way to do it, and you got to do

1583
01:17:54,640 --> 01:17:56,720
Speaker 1: it with the guys in the room. So if that

1584
01:17:56,880 --> 01:17:59,360
Speaker 1: means Derek Anderson gets plugged in, if that means Josh

1585
01:17:59,439 --> 01:18:01,960
Speaker 1: Allen says, or or vice verse, if Josh Allen stays

1586
01:18:02,000 --> 01:18:04,599
Speaker 1: in the game and Derek Anderson has elevated the number

1587
01:18:04,640 --> 01:18:08,960
Speaker 1: two guy, whatever, I think that's all those issues are

1588
01:18:09,040 --> 01:18:12,240
Speaker 1: in play. Josh is a consideration and everything, just like

1589
01:18:12,400 --> 01:18:15,639
Speaker 1: every other player is. Uh and he's and he's way

1590
01:18:15,760 --> 01:18:19,599
Speaker 1: more important in long term, But you also have got

1591
01:18:19,680 --> 01:18:21,920
Speaker 1: to try and win games for the guys in that

1592
01:18:22,040 --> 01:18:25,120
Speaker 1: locker room. So if if it gets the point where

1593
01:18:27,439 --> 01:18:30,080
Speaker 1: Josh is like you guys both said it and I

1594
01:18:30,240 --> 01:18:32,160
Speaker 1: kind of noticed it as well that third series, the

1595
01:18:32,280 --> 01:18:34,439
Speaker 1: third quarter series he had where they were backed up

1596
01:18:34,479 --> 01:18:37,080
Speaker 1: in their own end. He was that was a guy

1597
01:18:37,160 --> 01:18:41,080
Speaker 1: who was struggling. You know, his eyes were weren't downfield.

1598
01:18:41,160 --> 01:18:43,479
Speaker 1: He looked one place, it wasn't there. He was looking

1599
01:18:43,520 --> 01:18:47,479
Speaker 1: to do something else. And so there were stretches in

1600
01:18:47,600 --> 01:18:50,479
Speaker 1: that game where you thought, wow, I don't know, you know,

1601
01:18:50,600 --> 01:18:52,760
Speaker 1: he knew he might need some time. But in a

1602
01:18:52,840 --> 01:18:55,040
Speaker 1: big picture, how do you take You can't just it's

1603
01:18:55,080 --> 01:18:57,760
Speaker 1: not like Joe Flacco and Lamar Jackson, you know, it's

1604
01:18:57,760 --> 01:18:59,479
Speaker 1: just put him out of wide receiver for a minute,

1605
01:18:59,560 --> 01:19:02,600
Speaker 1: led Lamar Jackson run a playoff the side. You know.

1606
01:19:03,040 --> 01:19:06,479
Speaker 1: So I think that for the coaching staffing, for the organization,

1607
01:19:06,600 --> 01:19:09,000
Speaker 1: it's about winning this next game. And you look at

1608
01:19:09,040 --> 01:19:11,599
Speaker 1: those quarterbacks, you look at Josh Allen, and you make

1609
01:19:11,640 --> 01:19:13,760
Speaker 1: a judgment call and say, okay, listen, you know what,

1610
01:19:15,840 --> 01:19:18,519
Speaker 1: maybe we'll get some added benefit to putting Derek Anderson

1611
01:19:18,560 --> 01:19:20,200
Speaker 1: in there and Josh sitting down and watching him for

1612
01:19:20,240 --> 01:19:23,960
Speaker 1: a week. Maybe, but at some point you gotta switch

1613
01:19:24,040 --> 01:19:27,840
Speaker 1: him back. So where did you just flip a one

1614
01:19:27,840 --> 01:19:32,600
Speaker 1: an from the last segment? Yeah, now you say Derek Anderson. No,

1615
01:19:32,800 --> 01:19:34,720
Speaker 1: I say, if that's a judgment call, the team's gotta

1616
01:19:34,800 --> 01:19:36,920
Speaker 1: make you gotta you gotta make this shot. You might

1617
01:19:37,000 --> 01:19:39,040
Speaker 1: to make the call or what's best for the team.

1618
01:19:39,600 --> 01:19:41,960
Speaker 1: I think the best thing to do is play Josh Allen.

1619
01:19:43,760 --> 01:19:46,240
Speaker 1: If you gotta win this game, is playing Josh Allen

1620
01:19:46,280 --> 01:19:47,800
Speaker 1: the best thing to do. I don't know. May not be,

1621
01:19:48,320 --> 01:19:51,720
Speaker 1: but I don't care. If he's healthy, he's healthy, he's

1622
01:19:51,760 --> 01:19:54,240
Speaker 1: gotta be the guy. If he's not healthy. But if

1623
01:19:54,439 --> 01:19:57,479
Speaker 1: he's not healthy, Derek Anderson's gotta be the guy. I

1624
01:19:57,479 --> 01:19:59,040
Speaker 1: don't I don't want an I don't want any pardon,

1625
01:19:59,120 --> 01:20:03,200
Speaker 1: Nate Peterman. But what about winning this game? Well, you

1626
01:20:03,240 --> 01:20:07,400
Speaker 1: can win, Yeah, you can win with Josh. Okay, are

1627
01:20:07,439 --> 01:20:10,320
Speaker 1: you following? I think we came back to pass so

1628
01:20:12,200 --> 01:20:14,439
Speaker 1: I'm listen. I'm saying, I don't know what the coaches

1629
01:20:14,479 --> 01:20:16,479
Speaker 1: are thinking, or what they think about Josh Allen, or

1630
01:20:16,520 --> 01:20:19,599
Speaker 1: what Josh's attitude is in there? Uh, from from where

1631
01:20:20,040 --> 01:20:22,679
Speaker 1: his health is for that, yeah, exactly from where we're sitting.

1632
01:20:22,720 --> 01:20:24,439
Speaker 1: I think, Josh Allen, you're gonna plug him back in

1633
01:20:24,560 --> 01:20:27,000
Speaker 1: and get him go and try and get him better. Um,

1634
01:20:27,560 --> 01:20:29,240
Speaker 1: there may be some stuff going on in the locker room.

1635
01:20:29,320 --> 01:20:31,760
Speaker 1: Josh maybe further gone than we know. Maybe he is

1636
01:20:32,000 --> 01:20:34,280
Speaker 1: getting damaged. I don't know. I don't see it. I

1637
01:20:34,320 --> 01:20:36,880
Speaker 1: don't see it. I don't see it. He's got it,

1638
01:20:36,960 --> 01:20:39,599
Speaker 1: he's not getting better. That's what concerns me. Let's take

1639
01:20:39,640 --> 01:20:43,599
Speaker 1: a call from Carling Clarence. Hello, Carl, you're on the air. Hey, guys,

1640
01:20:43,760 --> 01:20:45,800
Speaker 1: I think Josh has got to start too, and just

1641
01:20:46,000 --> 01:20:50,240
Speaker 1: make the offense as vanilla as possible for this kid.

1642
01:20:50,320 --> 01:20:53,160
Speaker 1: He doesn't he can't grasp at all. Yeah, that's obvious,

1643
01:20:53,840 --> 01:20:57,600
Speaker 1: so just keep it simple. But my question to you,

1644
01:20:57,680 --> 01:21:01,680
Speaker 1: guys is how in God's name can this team have

1645
01:21:01,920 --> 01:21:04,880
Speaker 1: so many penalties, especially when this coach is preaching that

1646
01:21:06,240 --> 01:21:09,439
Speaker 1: more than anybody since smart with the old don't be dirty,

1647
01:21:09,520 --> 01:21:12,840
Speaker 1: don't be dumb line, and I just I just can't.

1648
01:21:12,840 --> 01:21:15,639
Speaker 1: For the life of me, I feel the penalties cost

1649
01:21:15,720 --> 01:21:17,400
Speaker 1: us the game. I don't think we should ever have

1650
01:21:17,439 --> 01:21:21,680
Speaker 1: been in that position where Nate had to throw from

1651
01:21:21,680 --> 01:21:24,080
Speaker 1: a touchdown was a minute and so I left. I

1652
01:21:24,200 --> 01:21:27,160
Speaker 1: should never have been in that position. Now, I'll tell

1653
01:21:27,160 --> 01:21:28,840
Speaker 1: you what, Carl. There's a lot of what you say

1654
01:21:28,880 --> 01:21:32,680
Speaker 1: and if there's anything that can be taking. I kind

1655
01:21:32,720 --> 01:21:37,360
Speaker 1: of I kind of teeter totter between blaming the players

1656
01:21:37,400 --> 01:21:41,040
Speaker 1: for the penalties or maybe the coaches for putting them

1657
01:21:41,080 --> 01:21:43,960
Speaker 1: out in some some sort of mindset that they weren't

1658
01:21:44,000 --> 01:21:46,680
Speaker 1: ready to play mentally. H If there's one thing you

1659
01:21:46,760 --> 01:21:48,559
Speaker 1: can lay at the feet of the coaches, it's maybe

1660
01:21:48,680 --> 01:21:52,760
Speaker 1: pre snap penalties and formation penalties, and it's you know,

1661
01:21:52,880 --> 01:21:55,719
Speaker 1: penalties where you know, what are you doing not lining

1662
01:21:55,840 --> 01:21:58,200
Speaker 1: up properly? If you're not going to do that pre

1663
01:21:58,320 --> 01:22:00,360
Speaker 1: snap penalties you lay at the feet of the layers,

1664
01:22:00,479 --> 01:22:04,000
Speaker 1: not the coaches. Yeah, but how can you say coaches?

1665
01:22:04,000 --> 01:22:05,280
Speaker 1: I want to make sure you were writing what you

1666
01:22:05,320 --> 01:22:09,240
Speaker 1: were saying. Coaches take coaches got a coach that coach

1667
01:22:09,280 --> 01:22:11,519
Speaker 1: their players up so they don't get penalties? I put

1668
01:22:11,600 --> 01:22:16,320
Speaker 1: that pre snap? How can a player not know that

1669
01:22:16,439 --> 01:22:19,360
Speaker 1: he's not lined up correctly? Right? So that that's on

1670
01:22:19,400 --> 01:22:21,600
Speaker 1: the player, isn't it? You gotta know that? How do

1671
01:22:21,640 --> 01:22:24,400
Speaker 1: you line up off sides? Yeah? You know what I mean?

1672
01:22:24,600 --> 01:22:27,760
Speaker 1: Like Andre Holmes is off sides on a kickoff? How

1673
01:22:27,800 --> 01:22:29,600
Speaker 1: are you? How do you what formation? I got to

1674
01:22:29,640 --> 01:22:31,880
Speaker 1: find out what formation was called? Why they didn't line that?

1675
01:22:32,080 --> 01:22:34,000
Speaker 1: How's the guy not now where to lie. Part of

1676
01:22:34,040 --> 01:22:37,479
Speaker 1: that's coaching. The illegal formation penalties, I know at least

1677
01:22:37,520 --> 01:22:39,680
Speaker 1: two of them, not there was one yesterday, there was

1678
01:22:39,720 --> 01:22:42,040
Speaker 1: one last week. They didn't have seven guys up on

1679
01:22:42,080 --> 01:22:43,920
Speaker 1: the line close enough. You had a lineman that was

1680
01:22:44,000 --> 01:22:45,800
Speaker 1: off the line. You know, he's cheating a little bit,

1681
01:22:46,400 --> 01:22:48,640
Speaker 1: and usually the refs give you a warning, right, I

1682
01:22:48,680 --> 01:22:51,479
Speaker 1: don't know. Usually they give you a warning he's off

1683
01:22:51,520 --> 01:22:53,519
Speaker 1: the line too much. They don't have seven online. What

1684
01:22:53,560 --> 01:22:55,360
Speaker 1: happened yesterday? I don't have seven on the line and

1685
01:22:55,400 --> 01:22:59,559
Speaker 1: they well they got flagged for it three times yesterday. Yeah,

1686
01:22:59,760 --> 01:23:03,880
Speaker 1: that can't happen three times six on offense or two

1687
01:23:04,000 --> 01:23:08,280
Speaker 1: starting to six on offense. That's coaching. It is absolutely

1688
01:23:08,560 --> 01:23:11,040
Speaker 1: you gotta know where to line up, right, I mean

1689
01:23:11,080 --> 01:23:14,040
Speaker 1: there's something a guy not know. Well, that's my point.

1690
01:23:14,120 --> 01:23:16,519
Speaker 1: You're a professional player, how do you not? That's not

1691
01:23:16,600 --> 01:23:19,320
Speaker 1: on the players, that's on the coaches. Coaches got to listen,

1692
01:23:19,439 --> 01:23:21,760
Speaker 1: make it clear where you're lined up, and know where

1693
01:23:21,760 --> 01:23:23,240
Speaker 1: you're supposed to be lined up. I mean, I don't

1694
01:23:23,240 --> 01:23:24,800
Speaker 1: know if it gets more black and white than that,

1695
01:23:25,160 --> 01:23:27,679
Speaker 1: like where you're lining up? Why we aren't they lining

1696
01:23:27,800 --> 01:23:31,559
Speaker 1: up properly. Then I just somebody's lack of focus something.

1697
01:23:31,560 --> 01:23:33,640
Speaker 1: That's what I think it is. Listen, somebody listen. I

1698
01:23:33,720 --> 01:23:37,080
Speaker 1: put that. I put that on the for not being prepared.

1699
01:23:37,880 --> 01:23:40,639
Speaker 1: Call here from Mark and Rochester. Hello, Mark, welcome, Welcome

1700
01:23:40,640 --> 01:23:43,160
Speaker 1: to the show, you guys. I hate to bust up

1701
01:23:43,200 --> 01:23:49,280
Speaker 1: this lively discourse, but a couple of things. John frank Sipole,

1702
01:23:49,680 --> 01:23:54,439
Speaker 1: Now General was a classmate. Yes, okay, General Frankie. Yes,

1703
01:23:55,160 --> 01:23:57,160
Speaker 1: I don't know if you ever had his mom's meatball,

1704
01:23:57,280 --> 01:24:02,439
Speaker 1: but they're the best. Yeah. They were good to go

1705
01:24:06,240 --> 01:24:10,479
Speaker 1: next time. Secondly, Um, I've been hearing all kinds of

1706
01:24:10,560 --> 01:24:13,200
Speaker 1: stuff from the owner shoulders, how you got to do this,

1707
01:24:13,320 --> 01:24:16,000
Speaker 1: you got to do that? In fans calling in uh, Steve,

1708
01:24:16,120 --> 01:24:18,720
Speaker 1: you remember I think Mark said if he want the

1709
01:24:18,760 --> 01:24:21,120
Speaker 1: fans name your quarterback, you end up sitting with him.

1710
01:24:21,160 --> 01:24:24,280
Speaker 1: So I don't know if if he said that to

1711
01:24:24,360 --> 01:24:27,120
Speaker 1: you guys and that, but I agree with that statement

1712
01:24:27,240 --> 01:24:29,120
Speaker 1: because you got to you got a coach. That's the

1713
01:24:29,160 --> 01:24:33,960
Speaker 1: bottom line there. Um. The formation penalties, in my mind,

1714
01:24:34,040 --> 01:24:37,240
Speaker 1: just drove me nuts. Um, and I don't I just

1715
01:24:37,320 --> 01:24:39,320
Speaker 1: don't see it. It's got to be the players. I mean,

1716
01:24:39,479 --> 01:24:42,160
Speaker 1: I played in high school and the center right next

1717
01:24:42,200 --> 01:24:44,160
Speaker 1: to me. I used to have to remind him of

1718
01:24:44,240 --> 01:24:47,000
Speaker 1: a snap count between the huddle and the line because

1719
01:24:47,400 --> 01:24:52,679
Speaker 1: you forget it, and I had off side or did well,

1720
01:24:52,800 --> 01:24:54,439
Speaker 1: you know, three times he did it and I got

1721
01:24:54,520 --> 01:24:56,760
Speaker 1: three off side. So I started just telling him it's

1722
01:24:56,800 --> 01:24:59,559
Speaker 1: on two, it's on two, it's on two. Got up there.

1723
01:24:59,680 --> 01:25:04,240
Speaker 1: So so that was painful. And here's my question. You know,

1724
01:25:04,280 --> 01:25:05,840
Speaker 1: I'm not going to say I know a lot. You know,

1725
01:25:05,920 --> 01:25:08,280
Speaker 1: he heard us. Oh, I played some football. We lost

1726
01:25:08,360 --> 01:25:10,439
Speaker 1: the football game, sixty eight nothing, So I'm going to

1727
01:25:10,520 --> 01:25:14,320
Speaker 1: say nothing about that. But my question is not about Peterman,

1728
01:25:14,320 --> 01:25:17,280
Speaker 1: because I'm sure he got hammered all day. My question

1729
01:25:17,600 --> 01:25:22,360
Speaker 1: is Steve, it's to you, really, should they have tried

1730
01:25:22,439 --> 01:25:24,679
Speaker 1: the runs or something that I know there was time

1731
01:25:24,800 --> 01:25:27,920
Speaker 1: left on the clock and timeouts and just on the

1732
01:25:28,000 --> 01:25:30,600
Speaker 1: third down as something, just steaved that as long in

1733
01:25:30,680 --> 01:25:33,760
Speaker 1: the field as he possibly could, gets intercepted. It's like

1734
01:25:33,840 --> 01:25:37,599
Speaker 1: a punt or whatever, and let us defense tough it out.

1735
01:25:37,720 --> 01:25:40,040
Speaker 1: So I'd like to hear what you gotta say. Yeah,

1736
01:25:40,240 --> 01:25:43,400
Speaker 1: you're talking about right before halftime, mark, No, I'm talking

1737
01:25:43,400 --> 01:25:46,080
Speaker 1: about towards the end of the game. When its thirteen thirteen.

1738
01:25:46,720 --> 01:25:49,439
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, well, yeah, that's I'll tell you what they

1739
01:25:49,520 --> 01:25:52,639
Speaker 1: are up thirteen ten and the Bills took ten six

1740
01:25:52,720 --> 01:25:54,559
Speaker 1: minutes of the ten minutes off. They gave the ball

1741
01:25:54,640 --> 01:25:58,680
Speaker 1: back to the Texans with four minutes ago and the

1742
01:25:58,840 --> 01:26:01,920
Speaker 1: field to go to get to uh, to tie them up,

1743
01:26:02,000 --> 01:26:03,519
Speaker 1: and the Texans were able to do it. Now they

1744
01:26:03,520 --> 01:26:07,840
Speaker 1: were aided by the passing. But yeah, you can you

1745
01:26:07,920 --> 01:26:11,840
Speaker 1: can listen. It didn't work. They should have tried something else.

1746
01:26:12,000 --> 01:26:13,960
Speaker 1: But if they had tried something else and that didn't work,

1747
01:26:14,000 --> 01:26:17,439
Speaker 1: you would have asked him to try what they actually tried. So, um,

1748
01:26:17,840 --> 01:26:20,479
Speaker 1: play selection is uh, you know, you can go back

1749
01:26:20,520 --> 01:26:23,599
Speaker 1: and forth. Um, it would have probably been just as

1750
01:26:23,920 --> 01:26:27,679
Speaker 1: astronomical of a chance of being successful as Hail Mary

1751
01:26:27,720 --> 01:26:31,120
Speaker 1: as well. So, um, you know, it didn't work whatever

1752
01:26:31,160 --> 01:26:34,080
Speaker 1: they tried. And if they went back and tried it again, uh, yeah,

1753
01:26:34,080 --> 01:26:36,000
Speaker 1: they would try something different if they knew what they

1754
01:26:36,040 --> 01:26:38,160
Speaker 1: were gonna call didn't work. We're gonna take a break.

1755
01:26:38,160 --> 01:26:40,040
Speaker 1: We're back with more. Chris Brown stage with us One

1762
01:27:11,360 --> 01:27:14,360
Speaker 1: about the question of the day. If Josh Allen is healthy,

01:27:14,400 --> 01:27:17,639
Speaker 1: who should start a quarterback? To Sunday eighth fifty toll

Speaker 1: free one eight eight eight five fifty two five fifty.

1765
01:27:20,800 --> 01:27:22,880
Speaker 1: Mike on the line from New Mexico. Go ahead, Mike,

1766
01:27:22,920 --> 01:27:25,120
Speaker 1: you're on the air with this. Hey, guys, thank you

1767
01:27:25,240 --> 01:27:28,400
Speaker 1: very much for taking my call. Um. We we're talking

1768
01:27:28,520 --> 01:27:32,960
Speaker 1: all about qbs and receivers and everything. I'm wondering why

1769
01:27:33,240 --> 01:27:38,400
Speaker 1: we're leaving the OC out of this equation. That last

1770
01:27:38,520 --> 01:27:42,880
Speaker 1: drive where Peterman threw that pass to the flat, that

1771
01:27:43,120 --> 01:27:46,120
Speaker 1: ill advised pass to the flat. I want to know

1772
01:27:46,920 --> 01:27:49,840
Speaker 1: if that was a play call, because it certainly looked

1773
01:27:49,880 --> 01:27:53,080
Speaker 1: like it was the design play. It was bam, bam, hike.

1774
01:27:53,439 --> 01:27:56,360
Speaker 1: He takes three steps back, he's not even done moving backwards,

1775
01:27:56,400 --> 01:27:59,000
Speaker 1: and he's throwing that ball. If that was a play call,

1776
01:27:59,400 --> 01:28:03,400
Speaker 1: that whole thing's on dable. They know Peterman can't make

1777
01:28:03,479 --> 01:28:07,560
Speaker 1: that pass. It's blitzed. They blitzed right, They set the

1778
01:28:08,280 --> 01:28:11,880
Speaker 1: nickel corner and the guy shot. He had to get

1779
01:28:11,920 --> 01:28:13,400
Speaker 1: it out or he's going to be on the goal

1780
01:28:13,439 --> 01:28:15,040
Speaker 1: line or maybe it's a safe. That was not the

1781
01:28:15,080 --> 01:28:17,400
Speaker 1: throw to make, but he had to get rid of it. Well,

1782
01:28:17,439 --> 01:28:19,720
Speaker 1: I mean, the guy never has the arm to get

1783
01:28:19,760 --> 01:28:22,439
Speaker 1: it to the flat. That's what everybody knows about Peterman.

1784
01:28:22,760 --> 01:28:25,120
Speaker 1: Not only that, but as we're watching TV, the guys

1785
01:28:25,160 --> 01:28:28,879
Speaker 1: on CBS are showing this graphic on how the textans

1786
01:28:28,880 --> 01:28:30,800
Speaker 1: that are leaving the middle of the field open. They're

1787
01:28:30,920 --> 01:28:34,320
Speaker 1: daring us to try and use that last one thirty

1788
01:28:34,360 --> 01:28:37,479
Speaker 1: of o'clock with passes down the middle and running up

1789
01:28:37,520 --> 01:28:40,599
Speaker 1: to the line. Yeah, and instead we call a pass

1790
01:28:40,640 --> 01:28:43,320
Speaker 1: to the flat. It's a again, it was I believe

1791
01:28:43,360 --> 01:28:45,080
Speaker 1: it was an adjustment to the blitzmke. But you're right

1792
01:28:45,120 --> 01:28:48,000
Speaker 1: about this. Everybody knows that about Nathan. Why doesn't Nathan

1793
01:28:48,080 --> 01:28:50,439
Speaker 1: know that? How doesn't know that he can't make that throw?

1794
01:28:50,600 --> 01:28:53,000
Speaker 1: That's what because I want him to succeed, we all do.

1795
01:28:53,120 --> 01:28:55,040
Speaker 1: But how does he not know that that's not his throw?

1796
01:28:55,160 --> 01:28:57,599
Speaker 1: He can't do that? Yeah, I don't know. I don't.

1797
01:28:57,640 --> 01:28:59,120
Speaker 1: I don't have an answer for you on that one,

1798
01:28:59,240 --> 01:29:01,280
Speaker 1: and I don't know. I don't know that listening, we

1799
01:29:01,479 --> 01:29:05,880
Speaker 1: will never know that. And certainly the coaching staff is

1800
01:29:06,760 --> 01:29:08,960
Speaker 1: burning the midnight oil and trying to jump through hoops

1801
01:29:09,000 --> 01:29:11,200
Speaker 1: to make this offen something that whatever quarterback is in

1802
01:29:11,280 --> 01:29:13,720
Speaker 1: there can be successful. They're trying to call plays that

1803
01:29:13,800 --> 01:29:15,360
Speaker 1: they can they can run, that they know they have

1804
01:29:15,479 --> 01:29:19,439
Speaker 1: confidence in. H They have long conversations with these quarterbacks

1805
01:29:19,479 --> 01:29:21,240
Speaker 1: about what they like, what they don't like, what they

1806
01:29:21,280 --> 01:29:23,599
Speaker 1: can run, what they don't run, what they think they

1807
01:29:23,640 --> 01:29:28,040
Speaker 1: can see, and what they can't. Offensive coordinator and believe me,

1808
01:29:28,200 --> 01:29:30,600
Speaker 1: switching gears from Josh Allen Nathan Peter is probably a

1809
01:29:30,640 --> 01:29:34,640
Speaker 1: little bit difficult as well. But make no mistake that

1810
01:29:34,920 --> 01:29:38,880
Speaker 1: play was called because and certainly it wasn't designed to

1811
01:29:39,040 --> 01:29:41,960
Speaker 1: be a pick six goal on the other way. So

1812
01:29:42,840 --> 01:29:45,439
Speaker 1: you can pump the brakes on blaming Brian day ball

1813
01:29:46,040 --> 01:29:50,639
Speaker 1: for you know that, And you gotta give the defense

1814
01:29:50,640 --> 01:29:52,559
Speaker 1: a little bit of credit to They did bring pressure.

1815
01:29:52,720 --> 01:29:55,240
Speaker 1: They're trying to force that ball out of there very quickly,

1816
01:29:55,680 --> 01:30:00,320
Speaker 1: and they got it done. It was a bad rose,

1817
01:30:00,360 --> 01:30:03,360
Speaker 1: a bad decision, and Peterman should have done anything other

1818
01:30:03,439 --> 01:30:06,080
Speaker 1: than what he did. And I think Murph said this

1819
01:30:06,200 --> 01:30:10,720
Speaker 1: last week though, When you are the offensive coordinator for

1820
01:30:11,400 --> 01:30:14,080
Speaker 1: a unit that has a rookie quarterback who's getting the

1821
01:30:14,160 --> 01:30:17,719
Speaker 1: first start of his career, it's like you're calling plays

1822
01:30:17,760 --> 01:30:20,200
Speaker 1: with a hand tide behind your back because you are

1823
01:30:20,320 --> 01:30:22,560
Speaker 1: limited in what you can do. You may have a

1824
01:30:22,640 --> 01:30:25,840
Speaker 1: whole list of plays that you know are going to

1825
01:30:25,920 --> 01:30:28,560
Speaker 1: work against the defense you're going against that week. But

1826
01:30:28,680 --> 01:30:32,040
Speaker 1: if you're not confident and your quarterback who's a rookie, says,

1827
01:30:32,800 --> 01:30:34,360
Speaker 1: I don't know if I like that play because I

1828
01:30:34,439 --> 01:30:36,360
Speaker 1: have trouble reading getting from two to three on that

1829
01:30:36,520 --> 01:30:39,000
Speaker 1: and I worry about having enough time, bang gets off

1830
01:30:39,040 --> 01:30:42,679
Speaker 1: the list. So now your coordinator, who has a list

1831
01:30:42,720 --> 01:30:44,960
Speaker 1: of twenty five plays that he likes and thinks can

1832
01:30:45,040 --> 01:30:48,000
Speaker 1: work against that defensive scheme that week based on the

1833
01:30:48,080 --> 01:30:52,080
Speaker 1: talent he has, you know at the skill positions, maybe

1834
01:30:52,120 --> 01:30:54,519
Speaker 1: half of those get crossed off the list, and now

1835
01:30:54,600 --> 01:30:57,960
Speaker 1: your options are fewer. Your chances of being unpredictable become

1836
01:30:58,040 --> 01:31:00,000
Speaker 1: more difficult because now you have to do it based

1837
01:31:00,240 --> 01:31:03,879
Speaker 1: personnel grouping and formation and pre snap shifting in alignment.

1838
01:31:04,479 --> 01:31:07,240
Speaker 1: So you know, as much as people want to come

1839
01:31:07,280 --> 01:31:10,320
Speaker 1: down hard on Dable. I think you have to understand

1840
01:31:10,400 --> 01:31:13,560
Speaker 1: the circumstances with which he's been asked to operate, and

1841
01:31:13,680 --> 01:31:17,360
Speaker 1: that's with a rookie quarterback, limited talent at receiver, and

1842
01:31:17,439 --> 01:31:20,680
Speaker 1: an offensive line that only now is starting to gain

1843
01:31:20,800 --> 01:31:23,880
Speaker 1: some traction. Here, Hey, Chris, what's coming up on the website?

1844
01:31:23,880 --> 01:31:25,960
Speaker 1: What do you got coming up? Well, we've got our

1845
01:31:26,000 --> 01:31:29,200
Speaker 1: weekly stats column tomorrow, and we're going to take a

1846
01:31:29,320 --> 01:31:33,519
Speaker 1: look at the sizeable jump that this defense has made

1847
01:31:34,200 --> 01:31:38,360
Speaker 1: from week two to week seven. The jump they've made

1848
01:31:38,400 --> 01:31:42,599
Speaker 1: in some statistical categories in terms of league rankings may

1849
01:31:42,680 --> 01:31:45,120
Speaker 1: knock your socks off. They've really come a long way

1850
01:31:45,160 --> 01:31:47,680
Speaker 1: in a very short period of time. And I'm going

1851
01:31:47,760 --> 01:31:49,439
Speaker 1: to tell you when you have a couple of games

1852
01:31:49,479 --> 01:31:52,120
Speaker 1: where you've given up forty plus points on the scoreboard,

1853
01:31:52,920 --> 01:31:55,960
Speaker 1: it's very hard to pull your ranking up in several categories,

1854
01:31:56,000 --> 01:31:58,519
Speaker 1: the least of which is points allowed. But the Bills

1855
01:31:58,560 --> 01:32:01,320
Speaker 1: have done that defensive side of the ball. So we're

1856
01:32:01,320 --> 01:32:04,000
Speaker 1: gonna kind of dive into that tomorrow on our weekly

1857
01:32:04,080 --> 01:32:07,160
Speaker 1: stats co and coverage of Sean mcdermot's news conference. We'll

1858
01:32:07,160 --> 01:32:09,559
Speaker 1: have quick hits later this afternoon based on what coach

1859
01:32:09,680 --> 01:32:12,639
Speaker 1: McDermot has to say, whether he chooses to shed any

1860
01:32:12,760 --> 01:32:15,920
Speaker 1: light on Josh's injury, Lad Dukasa's injury, or any other

1861
01:32:16,000 --> 01:32:19,200
Speaker 1: development that's going on on one side of the ball

1862
01:32:19,320 --> 01:32:21,120
Speaker 1: or the other. You know, I'm sure he's going to

1863
01:32:21,200 --> 01:32:24,080
Speaker 1: have some interesting words for what happened on special teams,

1864
01:32:24,120 --> 01:32:26,720
Speaker 1: because this isn't the first week where special teams has

1865
01:32:26,760 --> 01:32:29,439
Speaker 1: had a snaffu. I mean, we had a miscommunication last

1866
01:32:29,479 --> 01:32:31,599
Speaker 1: week the week before on a field goal that costs

1867
01:32:31,640 --> 01:32:34,320
Speaker 1: them three points, and then yesterday they have a couple

1868
01:32:34,360 --> 01:32:37,280
Speaker 1: of miscues that give ten points to the opposition and

1869
01:32:37,360 --> 01:32:39,759
Speaker 1: when winds up being a seven point result. The unfortunate

1870
01:32:39,760 --> 01:32:43,120
Speaker 1: about the thing about the whole thing is, yet, when

1871
01:32:43,160 --> 01:32:45,120
Speaker 1: you're playing with the offense in the shape that it's in,

1872
01:32:45,240 --> 01:32:47,479
Speaker 1: with the lack of production, a wide receiver, with your

1873
01:32:47,520 --> 01:32:50,120
Speaker 1: quarterback that's struggling the way he is, your offensive line

1874
01:32:50,160 --> 01:32:53,120
Speaker 1: had holes to fill, and there's just actually they're kind

1875
01:32:53,160 --> 01:32:59,200
Speaker 1: of playing a little better in pass protection, but everybody's

1876
01:32:59,200 --> 01:33:01,439
Speaker 1: got to play better or every place else if you've

1877
01:33:01,479 --> 01:33:04,439
Speaker 1: got to overcome a rookie quarterback like they do, and

1878
01:33:05,000 --> 01:33:06,920
Speaker 1: particularly given the fact they're thrown for less than one

1879
01:33:06,960 --> 01:33:09,280
Speaker 1: hundred yards or or between a one hundred and two

1880
01:33:09,360 --> 01:33:12,880
Speaker 1: hundred yards passing. They've got to play better everywhere, and

1881
01:33:13,040 --> 01:33:15,280
Speaker 1: you've got you know, special teams that are having problems,

1882
01:33:15,320 --> 01:33:18,400
Speaker 1: and special teams if you make it the only time

1883
01:33:18,439 --> 01:33:20,679
Speaker 1: you ever. You can lose a game on special teams

1884
01:33:20,720 --> 01:33:22,360
Speaker 1: way easier than you can win it well, and you

1885
01:33:22,479 --> 01:33:24,640
Speaker 1: have fewer opportunities to make a difference. And there's you

1886
01:33:24,680 --> 01:33:27,240
Speaker 1: only got twenty twenty five players a game, and it's

1887
01:33:27,320 --> 01:33:30,679
Speaker 1: hard to make up for us for a muffed punt

1888
01:33:31,360 --> 01:33:34,640
Speaker 1: and uh and two weeks ago, a miscommunication where the

1889
01:33:34,680 --> 01:33:36,200
Speaker 1: guy thinks it's a fake, it's not a fake. He

1890
01:33:36,280 --> 01:33:37,880
Speaker 1: give it over on a turnover and he almost throws

1891
01:33:37,880 --> 01:33:41,080
Speaker 1: an interception doing it. Then you've got a block punt

1892
01:33:41,160 --> 01:33:45,800
Speaker 1: this week. It's that's bad. It's really bad. And you

1893
01:33:45,840 --> 01:33:47,759
Speaker 1: can say whatever you want about the offense. The special

1894
01:33:47,840 --> 01:33:51,600
Speaker 1: teams have been bad. Okay, thanks Chris, you got it.

1895
01:33:51,720 --> 01:33:53,920
Speaker 1: Chris Brown Bills inside a Buffalo Bills dot Com. When

1896

Speaker 1: we come back, Fred Jackson joins the sound of the line.

1897
01:33:56,520 --> 01:33:59,040
Speaker 1: We'll talk about yesterday's game and about some other issues

1898
01:33:59,040 --> 01:34:01,479
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Come on back. One Bill's Live presented

1903
01:34:24,080 --> 01:34:27,320
Speaker 1: After yesterday's lost twenty to thirteen loss of the Houston Texans,

1904
01:34:27,680 --> 01:34:29,880
Speaker 1: Bills have a quarterback decision to make as well. Rookie

1905
01:34:29,960 --> 01:34:33,000
Speaker 1: quarterback Josh Allen suffered an elbow injury and the third

1906
01:34:33,080 --> 01:34:36,479
Speaker 1: quarter was replaced by Nathan Peterman. Peterman, of course, through

1907
01:34:36,520 --> 01:34:38,439
Speaker 1: the pick six that was return for the go ahead

1908
01:34:38,520 --> 01:34:43,880
Speaker 1: touchdown the game winning score. It was a tough loss

1909
01:34:43,920 --> 01:34:45,960
Speaker 1: for the Bills, with some special teams miscus in a

1910
01:34:46,040 --> 01:34:49,200
Speaker 1: great performance by the Buffalo defense. Head coach Sear McDermott

Speaker 1: meets the media later on this afternoon, at which time

1912

1913
01:34:54,560 --> 01:34:56,439
Speaker 1: maybe before guard blad Duke Cops who left the game

1914
01:34:56,479 --> 01:34:58,680
Speaker 1: with a knee injury. Bill's next game coming up next

1917
01:35:05,760 --> 01:35:08,360
Speaker 1: game for the Miami Dolphins wasn't surprise. He didn't have

1918
01:35:08,479 --> 01:35:10,520
Speaker 1: much to say about it after the game, though. Tannehill's

1919
01:35:10,600 --> 01:35:13,960
Speaker 1: shoulder was termed so sore he had not shown up

1920

Speaker 1: Oswiler started the game before the Miami Dolphins. They threw

1922
01:35:20,160 --> 01:35:23,240

01:36:32,200 --> 01:36:35,559
Speaker 1: handling yesterday's loss? What did you think? I mean, it's

1948
01:36:35,640 --> 01:36:37,760
Speaker 1: it's a tough one, especially with as well as the

1949
01:36:37,840 --> 01:36:40,280
Speaker 1: defense played yesterday. It's always gonna be tough, a tough

1950
01:36:40,360 --> 01:36:43,559
Speaker 1: pill to swallow one. They got as much pressure as

1951
01:36:43,600 --> 01:36:46,320
Speaker 1: they did and uh, we didn't come away with the win. Yeah,

1952
01:36:46,479 --> 01:36:48,920
Speaker 1: I was telling Murphy, it's a little bit of an overreaction,

1953
01:36:48,960 --> 01:36:53,080
Speaker 1: I say. I think because listen, Texans defense is legit,

1954
01:36:53,200 --> 01:36:55,639
Speaker 1: they got some really, they got some studs up front,

1955
01:36:55,960 --> 01:36:57,320
Speaker 1: and you knew it was going to be a struggle

1956
01:36:57,439 --> 01:36:59,880
Speaker 1: with any quarterback in there. And and for the Bill

1957
01:37:00,120 --> 01:37:02,479
Speaker 1: to have a chance to win it late, um, I

1958
01:37:02,600 --> 01:37:04,760
Speaker 1: think says a lot. And particularly when you look at

1959
01:37:04,800 --> 01:37:07,920
Speaker 1: the struggles they had on special teams, I would agree.

1960
01:37:08,080 --> 01:37:10,240
Speaker 1: You know, when you when you look at that team

1961
01:37:10,280 --> 01:37:11,800
Speaker 1: from top to bottom of defense, it's one of the

1962
01:37:11,880 --> 01:37:14,559
Speaker 1: most talented teams in the league. So anytime you got

1963
01:37:14,600 --> 01:37:17,360
Speaker 1: a guy like JJ and Clowning up there, coming compliment

1964
01:37:17,479 --> 01:37:20,920
Speaker 1: each other and creating as much havoc as they have

1965
01:37:21,640 --> 01:37:23,160
Speaker 1: to be able to have a chance to win the game,

1966
01:37:23,200 --> 01:37:25,760
Speaker 1: going on the road down in the Texans stadium, uh

1967
01:37:25,880 --> 01:37:28,040
Speaker 1: and having a chance to go late in the game

1968
01:37:28,120 --> 01:37:30,640
Speaker 1: to win it, I think that's something that anybody in

1969
01:37:30,720 --> 01:37:33,640
Speaker 1: the locker room would have would have liked to have. Unfortunately,

1970
01:37:33,680 --> 01:37:35,400
Speaker 1: they just didn't come away with the win. Okay, Well,

1971
01:37:35,439 --> 01:37:37,280
Speaker 1: here's the silver lining and the offense. I thought the

1972
01:37:37,400 --> 01:37:40,280
Speaker 1: offensive line Fred did pretty well against Clowney and JJ

1973
01:37:40,439 --> 01:37:43,639
Speaker 1: wind in that group the two sacks of Buffalo quarterbacks.

1974
01:37:43,880 --> 01:37:46,040
Speaker 1: I know they were pressured, but it wasn't out of

1975
01:37:46,080 --> 01:37:48,920
Speaker 1: control and in fact, I think the Bills offensive line

1976
01:37:49,000 --> 01:37:52,120
Speaker 1: I played the Texans offensive line considerably in that game.

1977
01:37:52,800 --> 01:37:55,320
Speaker 1: I would agree one hundred percent. I think that when

1978
01:37:55,360 --> 01:37:57,200
Speaker 1: they sewed up there was a talent that they took

1979
01:37:57,320 --> 01:37:59,120
Speaker 1: upon themselves that you know, we weren't going to let

1980
01:37:59,160 --> 01:38:01,600
Speaker 1: them create the have that they they're known for doing it.

1981
01:38:02,439 --> 01:38:04,479
Speaker 1: I think, without a doubt, they lived up to the

1982
01:38:04,560 --> 01:38:07,200
Speaker 1: challenge and protected the quarterbacks as much as they could have.

1983
01:38:07,680 --> 01:38:09,720
Speaker 1: Talk a little I was gonna ask you a little bit,

1984
01:38:09,800 --> 01:38:12,360
Speaker 1: Fred about what you saw and maybe what you're looking

1985
01:38:12,400 --> 01:38:14,120
Speaker 1: at it. In the Bill's run game, it's one thing

1986
01:38:14,160 --> 01:38:17,479
Speaker 1: they've been able to depend on, even through quarterback struggles

1987
01:38:17,520 --> 01:38:19,560
Speaker 1: to the last you know, well, when they didn't have

1988
01:38:19,600 --> 01:38:21,639
Speaker 1: a very good passing game the last handful of years,

1989
01:38:22,040 --> 01:38:25,080
Speaker 1: their running game has always showed up. And it didn't yesterday.

1990
01:38:27,160 --> 01:38:29,800
Speaker 1: I think you got to give the Texans credit on that.

1991
01:38:29,920 --> 01:38:31,360
Speaker 1: I think one of the things that they wanted to

1992
01:38:31,439 --> 01:38:33,760
Speaker 1: do was keep them from running the ball that they

1993
01:38:33,840 --> 01:38:37,200
Speaker 1: want the way that Buffalo wants to. You could tell

1994
01:38:37,240 --> 01:38:40,000
Speaker 1: that their mentality yesterday is they were going to keep

1995
01:38:40,600 --> 01:38:43,120
Speaker 1: the ball in Allan's ends and make them beat them.

1996
01:38:43,160 --> 01:38:45,439
Speaker 1: They did want Shady and Ivory to get going like

1997
01:38:45,520 --> 01:38:50,320
Speaker 1: they did the week before. I think that's whatever, whatever

1998
01:38:50,680 --> 01:38:52,840
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator you're gonna face, I think that's what they

1999
01:38:52,880 --> 01:38:54,679
Speaker 1: want to do. They want to make the rookie quarterback

2000
01:38:54,760 --> 01:38:57,360
Speaker 1: beat them, and Houston did a pretty good job of

2001
01:38:57,439 --> 01:39:00,360
Speaker 1: that yesterday. They they kind of kept those guys team,

2002
01:39:00,760 --> 01:39:03,280
Speaker 1: but you know, Shady and uh I did as much

2003
01:39:03,320 --> 01:39:04,920
Speaker 1: as they could to get that running game going and

2004
01:39:05,000 --> 01:39:07,000
Speaker 1: take some of that pressure off of the you know,

2005
01:39:07,080 --> 01:39:09,360
Speaker 1: both young quarterbacks and Fred. Let's ask you the question

2006
01:39:09,400 --> 01:39:12,439
Speaker 1: we've been discussing with fans today. Let's say Josh Allen

2007
01:39:12,600 --> 01:39:15,880
Speaker 1: is healthy and can play this Sunday against Indy, who

2008
01:39:15,920 --> 01:39:17,920
Speaker 1: would you start? Which quarterback would you start against the

2009
01:39:17,960 --> 01:39:21,280
Speaker 1: Colts for the Buffalo Bills. Well, I think you gotta

2010
01:39:21,320 --> 01:39:23,360
Speaker 1: go with Alan, you know, with the way he's performed,

2011
01:39:23,600 --> 01:39:26,360
Speaker 1: you know, the past three or four weeks, I think

2012
01:39:26,439 --> 01:39:29,679
Speaker 1: he gives you the best chance to win. Um. I'm

2013
01:39:29,840 --> 01:39:33,320
Speaker 1: not a knock against Peterman. You know, he's obviously taking

2014
01:39:33,360 --> 01:39:36,960
Speaker 1: a brunt of the reasoning for the loss this past weekend.

2015
01:39:37,080 --> 01:39:39,560
Speaker 1: But I think Alan just brings, you know, more of

2016
01:39:39,600 --> 01:39:42,960
Speaker 1: a stable uh person at the helm when whenever they're

2017
01:39:43,000 --> 01:39:45,800
Speaker 1: out there competing and I think the God's rally around him.

2018
01:39:45,840 --> 01:39:47,640
Speaker 1: I think he makes more plays with his feet, and

2019
01:39:47,720 --> 01:39:49,160
Speaker 1: I think that's one of the things that they're going

2020
01:39:49,240 --> 01:39:52,879
Speaker 1: to need a lot going forward, is him keep creating

2021
01:39:52,960 --> 01:39:55,640
Speaker 1: plays with his feet and keeping plays alive with his

2022
01:39:55,720 --> 01:39:58,200
Speaker 1: feet by moving around in the pocket. So I think

2023
01:39:58,320 --> 01:40:01,320
Speaker 1: obviously he gives you the best chance to win football game.

2024
01:40:02,200 --> 01:40:04,920
Speaker 1: What do you think the best philosophy is for the

2025
01:40:05,040 --> 01:40:07,840
Speaker 1: offensive staff about putting together an offensive game plan with

2026
01:40:08,000 --> 01:40:10,679
Speaker 1: Josh Allen in there, What do you think they're doing

2027
01:40:10,840 --> 01:40:14,680
Speaker 1: and what do you think maybe they've missed well? I

2028
01:40:14,800 --> 01:40:17,040
Speaker 1: think one of the things that I would like to

2029
01:40:17,080 --> 01:40:20,000
Speaker 1: see him do, you know, and it's obvious to sit back,

2030
01:40:20,479 --> 01:40:22,400
Speaker 1: you know, from my point of view and say throw

2031
01:40:22,479 --> 01:40:24,040
Speaker 1: more balls down the field. I think you got to

2032
01:40:24,080 --> 01:40:26,720
Speaker 1: back some of those safeties up. You know, when you

2033
01:40:26,840 --> 01:40:28,800
Speaker 1: complete more balls down the field, it's gonna make it

2034
01:40:28,880 --> 01:40:30,639
Speaker 1: to where some safeties are gonna have to stay back

2035
01:40:30,680 --> 01:40:33,160
Speaker 1: and help some corners. So I think, you know, if

2036
01:40:33,200 --> 01:40:35,720
Speaker 1: you can get stay involved, if if you can get

2037
01:40:35,960 --> 01:40:38,000
Speaker 1: you know, helping to make more plays down the field,

2038
01:40:38,040 --> 01:40:40,479
Speaker 1: like he had two big plays yesterday, I think if

2039
01:40:40,520 --> 01:40:43,320
Speaker 1: you can get those guys going and uh, you know,

2040
01:40:43,800 --> 01:40:46,560
Speaker 1: making the safeties and corners respect that. I think it

2041
01:40:46,720 --> 01:40:49,160
Speaker 1: opens up the running game and that allows for those

2042
01:40:49,200 --> 01:40:52,400
Speaker 1: guys to, you know, do what they do. And obviously

2043
01:40:52,479 --> 01:40:54,760
Speaker 1: that's gonna make it a lot easier for Josh if

2044
01:40:54,760 --> 01:40:56,599
Speaker 1: he can turn around and hand the ball off twenty

2045
01:40:56,600 --> 01:40:59,000
Speaker 1: and thirty times and take some pressure off of him

2046
01:41:00,120 --> 01:41:03,000
Speaker 1: doing a tremendous job trying to keep the running game involved.

2047
01:41:03,080 --> 01:41:06,599
Speaker 1: You know, I know Shady had almost twenty carries yesterday.

2048
01:41:07,560 --> 01:41:10,120
Speaker 1: You know, Ivory probably had about ten plus himself. So

2049
01:41:10,880 --> 01:41:13,479
Speaker 1: anytime you can try and establish a running game and

2050
01:41:13,600 --> 01:41:17,280
Speaker 1: making a defense respect that, it takes a lot of

2051
01:41:17,320 --> 01:41:19,600
Speaker 1: pressure off for Alan as well. Around the line with

2052
01:41:19,640 --> 01:41:22,040
Speaker 1: Fred Jackson, former Bills running back. He's the co host

2053
01:41:22,120 --> 01:41:25,160
Speaker 1: with Mike Catalina of Bills Tonight eleven thirty Sunday nights

2054
01:41:25,200 --> 01:41:27,200
Speaker 1: and recap of that day's Bills game on the MSG

2055
01:41:27,400 --> 01:41:31,560
Speaker 1: TV show Bills Tonight. Fred, Let's let's switch gears a

2056
01:41:31,560 --> 01:41:34,320
Speaker 1: little bit. Last night, the Patriots beat the Chiefs forty

2057
01:41:34,360 --> 01:41:36,600
Speaker 1: three to forty A great fourth quarter, that's all I

2058
01:41:36,600 --> 01:41:38,360
Speaker 1: saw by the time I got off the play last night.

2059
01:41:38,760 --> 01:41:40,559
Speaker 1: What did you make of that game and what does

2060
01:41:40,600 --> 01:41:43,160
Speaker 1: it say about, you know, kind of the power centers

2061
01:41:43,200 --> 01:41:45,800
Speaker 1: of the AFC when the Chiefs can take it that

2062
01:41:45,960 --> 01:41:48,200
Speaker 1: fire at Foxborough, you know, lose by three points and

2063
01:41:48,320 --> 01:41:51,000
Speaker 1: go toe to toe with them. Yeah, I think when

2064
01:41:51,040 --> 01:41:53,640
Speaker 1: you look at both those teams, you just see you know,

2065
01:41:53,800 --> 01:41:57,000
Speaker 1: offensive weapons everywhere, and with Mahomes doing what he's doing.

2066
01:41:57,080 --> 01:41:59,240
Speaker 1: And then you got Tyreek and you got Kareem Hunt,

2067
01:41:59,280 --> 01:42:03,920
Speaker 1: you got Sammy uh and guys and uh, I can't

2068
01:42:03,960 --> 01:42:06,160
Speaker 1: even think of tight ends name, you know, and guys

2069
01:42:06,240 --> 01:42:10,240
Speaker 1: like that. Just yeah, Kelsey, Kelsey making plays for Kansas City.

2070
01:42:10,280 --> 01:42:12,559
Speaker 1: They're gonna put up forty points every game. And then

2071
01:42:12,600 --> 01:42:14,120
Speaker 1: you on the on the other side of the ball,

2072
01:42:14,160 --> 01:42:17,559
Speaker 1: you got Brady with Gronk and Hogan and Gordon now

2073
01:42:17,680 --> 01:42:21,719
Speaker 1: and Edelman coming back. Um, then post running backs making plays.

2074
01:42:22,080 --> 01:42:24,320
Speaker 1: You're gonna see shootouts like that and it's gonna be

2075
01:42:24,439 --> 01:42:26,760
Speaker 1: high powered offenses. And that's what you got yesterday. It

2076
01:42:26,840 --> 01:42:28,599
Speaker 1: was a lot of fun, you know to sit back

2077
01:42:28,640 --> 01:42:31,200
Speaker 1: and watch and and you knew the end of the

2078
01:42:31,240 --> 01:42:34,240
Speaker 1: game was gonna come down to whoever had the ball lasting. Uh.

2079
01:42:34,560 --> 01:42:37,880
Speaker 1: When when you see two explosive offensives like that, uh,

2080
01:42:38,040 --> 01:42:40,679
Speaker 1: you know it's gonna be an entertaining gaming. Uh, it's

2081
01:42:40,720 --> 01:42:43,120
Speaker 1: it's telling everybody around the league, you know, be prepared

2082
01:42:43,439 --> 01:42:45,120
Speaker 1: to you you're gonna have to be in a shootout

2083
01:42:45,160 --> 01:42:47,080
Speaker 1: to beat us. It's like a latch of a different game.

2084
01:42:47,120 --> 01:42:49,120
Speaker 1: When you watch so much Buffalo Bills football, you know

2085
01:42:49,120 --> 01:42:51,920
Speaker 1: what I mean, Bill struggle to score thirteen points. These

2086
01:42:51,960 --> 01:42:54,679
Speaker 1: guys scored thirteen in the blink of an eye. Yeah,

2087
01:42:54,920 --> 01:42:57,320
Speaker 1: I mean it's and that's football, you know, weekend and

2088
01:42:57,400 --> 01:43:01,120
Speaker 1: week out. There's gonna be different things that contribute to

2089
01:43:01,200 --> 01:43:03,760
Speaker 1: whose score, or different people are gonna contribute to who's

2090
01:43:03,760 --> 01:43:07,000
Speaker 1: scoring and things like that. And you know, one thing

2091
01:43:07,120 --> 01:43:09,200
Speaker 1: that the Buffalo brings to the table is there. I

2092
01:43:09,320 --> 01:43:12,960
Speaker 1: think their defense will keep both those teams by putting

2093
01:43:13,000 --> 01:43:15,200
Speaker 1: pressure on the quarterbacks. I think they keep both those

2094
01:43:15,240 --> 01:43:19,000
Speaker 1: teams from scoring forty points. And it will come down

2095
01:43:19,080 --> 01:43:21,000
Speaker 1: to those guys doing that when they play the Patriots,

2096
01:43:21,000 --> 01:43:23,280
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to keep you know, Brady uncomfortable and

2097
01:43:24,000 --> 01:43:26,840
Speaker 1: poor Simmon throwing some arrand throws and taking advantage of

2098
01:43:26,880 --> 01:43:29,400
Speaker 1: it on the defensive end of the ball or backfield

2099
01:43:29,400 --> 01:43:31,960
Speaker 1: of the ball. One of the most surprising games yesterday

2100
01:43:32,080 --> 01:43:35,720
Speaker 1: came out of Miami where brock Oswiler got a chance

2101
01:43:35,760 --> 01:43:37,960
Speaker 1: to start. Ryan Tannehill was a late scratch and he's

2102
01:43:38,000 --> 01:43:41,040
Speaker 1: playing against a defense in the Chicago Bears that's really

2103
01:43:41,160 --> 01:43:45,960
Speaker 1: playing extremely well. And brock Oswidler, who I don't know

2104
01:43:46,080 --> 01:43:48,479
Speaker 1: how you know you talk about Nate Peterman. Brock Oswiler

2105
01:43:48,560 --> 01:43:51,080
Speaker 1: has struggled in his career to play quarterback and all

2106
01:43:51,080 --> 01:43:52,840
Speaker 1: of a sudden he comes in, throws for almost four

2107
01:43:52,920 --> 01:43:56,080
Speaker 1: hundred yards, three touchdowns and beat one of the hottest

2108
01:43:56,120 --> 01:43:59,840
Speaker 1: defenses in the league. How does that happen? You know,

2109
01:44:00,040 --> 01:44:03,360
Speaker 1: it's a great coach One said that, that's why you

2110
01:44:03,400 --> 01:44:06,760
Speaker 1: played the game. You know, brock Oswalder was one of

2111
01:44:06,800 --> 01:44:08,840
Speaker 1: the highest free agents on the market when you know

2112
01:44:08,960 --> 01:44:11,960
Speaker 1: his contract was up, and there was a reason for that.

2113
01:44:12,160 --> 01:44:14,839
Speaker 1: You know, he obviously hasn't lived up to the potential

2114
01:44:14,960 --> 01:44:17,040
Speaker 1: that he had you know when he signed that deal,

2115
01:44:17,600 --> 01:44:19,599
Speaker 1: but he's still a guy that can sling the ball around.

2116
01:44:19,640 --> 01:44:22,439
Speaker 1: And they still have weapons down in Miami, and God

2117
01:44:22,479 --> 01:44:25,679
Speaker 1: stepped up and they knew when Oswalder was named the starter,

2118
01:44:25,840 --> 01:44:27,599
Speaker 1: they were gonna have to make some plays around him

2119
01:44:28,160 --> 01:44:30,240
Speaker 1: to win that game, and they did. And that game

2120
01:44:30,320 --> 01:44:33,360
Speaker 1: was another fun shootout to watching, you know, guys running

2121
01:44:33,439 --> 01:44:35,519
Speaker 1: up and down the field. I think they had probably

2122
01:44:35,600 --> 01:44:39,000
Speaker 1: three or four touchdowns that were over fifty yards. So

2123
01:44:39,560 --> 01:44:41,360
Speaker 1: anytime you have that in the game, it's a lot

2124
01:44:41,400 --> 01:44:45,320
Speaker 1: of fun to watching. I think guys recognized in the

2125
01:44:45,400 --> 01:44:47,760
Speaker 1: locker room when we have somebody coming in to play

2126
01:44:47,840 --> 01:44:51,120
Speaker 1: quarterback that hasn't or we wouldn't expecting to start, we

2127
01:44:51,240 --> 01:44:53,519
Speaker 1: gotta make plays around them help him. And that's exactly

2128
01:44:53,600 --> 01:44:56,519
Speaker 1: what guys did. With Fred Jackson, former Bill's running back,

2129
01:44:56,560 --> 01:44:58,400
Speaker 1: you joined the Sound the Lion. As we talked about

2130
01:44:58,439 --> 01:45:01,519
Speaker 1: some of yesterday's NFL they Fred, there's like a whole

2131
01:45:01,560 --> 01:45:04,000
Speaker 1: new group of new running backs in the league that

2132
01:45:04,360 --> 01:45:07,639
Speaker 1: starting to get at tension. Joe Mixon in Cincinnati's running well.

2133
01:45:07,800 --> 01:45:09,680
Speaker 1: Todd Gurley has had some great years. Do you have

2134
01:45:09,680 --> 01:45:12,320
Speaker 1: any favorites of the young group of Camara down in

2135
01:45:12,360 --> 01:45:14,400
Speaker 1: New Orleans? There some really good young running backs who

2136
01:45:14,640 --> 01:45:17,760
Speaker 1: are running around there now. There it is and it's

2137
01:45:17,800 --> 01:45:19,800
Speaker 1: and it's hard to pick, you know, one or two,

2138
01:45:20,000 --> 01:45:22,599
Speaker 1: because I think they all bring something different to the table.

2139
01:45:22,680 --> 01:45:24,800
Speaker 1: That's just fun to watch about him. Uh, you know

2140
01:45:24,920 --> 01:45:27,680
Speaker 1: Ezekiel down in Dallas, what he's doing, you know, he's

2141
01:45:27,680 --> 01:45:30,040
Speaker 1: an explosive runner, and he can also just you know,

2142
01:45:30,120 --> 01:45:32,080
Speaker 1: he's a powerful guy that can run by you in

2143
01:45:32,120 --> 01:45:35,080
Speaker 1: the blinkerman eye as well. Uh. You know Alvin Kamar,

2144
01:45:35,280 --> 01:45:37,360
Speaker 1: what he's doing out of the backfield, you know, lining

2145
01:45:37,479 --> 01:45:39,519
Speaker 1: up a receiver and just beating you know, corners is

2146
01:45:40,280 --> 01:45:42,960
Speaker 1: a lot of fun to watch, especially coming from a

2147
01:45:43,040 --> 01:45:46,519
Speaker 1: running back. Um. But you know Melvin Gordon what he's

2148
01:45:46,560 --> 01:45:48,759
Speaker 1: doing out in San Diego, and I think you gotta,

2149
01:45:49,360 --> 01:45:51,680
Speaker 1: without a doubt, say Todd Gurley is is one of

2150
01:45:51,720 --> 01:45:53,880
Speaker 1: the best ones of watching what he's doing. You know,

2151
01:45:54,040 --> 01:45:56,800
Speaker 1: name being named offensive MVP last year, you know that

2152
01:45:56,920 --> 01:45:58,640
Speaker 1: was for a reason. You know, he's a guy that

2153
01:45:58,800 --> 01:46:02,880
Speaker 1: will be on the field all redounds and whatever defense

2154
01:46:02,920 --> 01:46:04,840
Speaker 1: you're gonna put put out on the field, he's gonna

2155
01:46:04,840 --> 01:46:07,559
Speaker 1: exploit it in some kind of way. So, uh, he's

2156
01:46:07,600 --> 01:46:09,160
Speaker 1: one that I think a lot of guys are looking

2157
01:46:09,200 --> 01:46:11,360
Speaker 1: to try and catch up to just because of the

2158
01:46:11,720 --> 01:46:14,400
Speaker 1: sheer numbers that he continues to put up in what

2159
01:46:14,600 --> 01:46:17,280
Speaker 1: his offensive unit is doing out in you know, lay

2160
01:46:17,439 --> 01:46:19,880
Speaker 1: Another young guy that neither one of us mentioned was

2161
01:46:19,960 --> 01:46:23,600
Speaker 1: Leonard Fournette down in Jackson. He's been nick but he

2162
01:46:24,120 --> 01:46:27,200
Speaker 1: continues to be the driving force behind that offense as well.

2163
01:46:27,280 --> 01:46:31,120
Speaker 1: Also Melvin Gordon three touchdowns in the Chargers winning and

2164
01:46:31,240 --> 01:46:33,400
Speaker 1: the Browns got brought back to earth a little bit

2165
01:46:33,479 --> 01:46:36,800
Speaker 1: by the by the same the LA Chargers. Uh what

2166
01:46:36,920 --> 01:46:39,599
Speaker 1: do you see with the Chargers? And you know, why

2167
01:46:39,640 --> 01:46:41,600
Speaker 1: are they riding a little bit what looks to be

2168
01:46:41,920 --> 01:46:44,160
Speaker 1: a roller coaster this year? They look good one week,

2169
01:46:44,360 --> 01:46:49,280
Speaker 1: almost dominant one week and struggle the next. Uh if

2170
01:46:49,439 --> 01:46:51,640
Speaker 1: just from looking at it, they're they're inconsistent in their

2171
01:46:51,720 --> 01:46:54,320
Speaker 1: run game, I think is what I see. Um. You know,

2172
01:46:54,400 --> 01:46:57,760
Speaker 1: if if Melvin Gordon is going, uh, they're a hard

2173
01:46:57,800 --> 01:46:59,640
Speaker 1: team to beat. Because we know what Philip can do

2174
01:46:59,760 --> 01:47:02,920
Speaker 1: is quarterback. We know he can pick any defensive part

2175
01:47:03,200 --> 01:47:05,280
Speaker 1: that you know, and he does it pre game or

2176
01:47:05,360 --> 01:47:08,479
Speaker 1: pre snap. So if you get a good running game

2177
01:47:08,560 --> 01:47:12,280
Speaker 1: going with those in that combination with Philip Rivers doing

2178
01:47:12,360 --> 01:47:14,639
Speaker 1: what he's doing, uh, they're a hard team to beat.

2179
01:47:14,640 --> 01:47:17,599
Speaker 1: And that's exactly what they did yesterday. Melvin Gordon running

2180
01:47:17,680 --> 01:47:20,880
Speaker 1: for Russian for three touchdowns and just being a key

2181
01:47:20,960 --> 01:47:24,280
Speaker 1: catalyst on that offensive side of the ball makes them

2182
01:47:24,360 --> 01:47:26,800
Speaker 1: a hard team to beat. And uh, you know, as

2183
01:47:26,840 --> 01:47:28,840
Speaker 1: long as they can stay consistent and turn around hitting

2184
01:47:28,880 --> 01:47:30,760
Speaker 1: him the ball, you know, twenty times, and he's doing

2185
01:47:30,800 --> 01:47:32,960
Speaker 1: what he's doing. Uh, they're gonna be one of the

2186
01:47:33,000 --> 01:47:34,960
Speaker 1: toughest teams to beat in the FC. They freed back

2187
01:47:35,000 --> 01:47:37,120
Speaker 1: to the Bills to wrap things up. Earlier on we

2188
01:47:37,200 --> 01:47:40,200
Speaker 1: had a sound bite down our show from Jordan Poyer

2189
01:47:40,240 --> 01:47:42,960
Speaker 1: Bill Safe. You said, that's one of the toughest losses

2190
01:47:43,080 --> 01:47:46,400
Speaker 1: yesterday he's ever been in. Uh. You you weather to

2191
01:47:46,439 --> 01:47:48,519
Speaker 1: store him through some tough losses and you're ten, you're

2192
01:47:48,520 --> 01:47:50,360
Speaker 1: here in Buffalo. How do you bounce back from that?

2193
01:47:50,439 --> 01:47:52,120
Speaker 1: And when do you start bouncing back from a loss

2194
01:47:52,200 --> 01:47:56,120
Speaker 1: like that? Uh, It's it's easier said than done. But

2195
01:47:56,240 --> 01:47:57,840
Speaker 1: the number one thing you have to do is to

2196
01:47:57,920 --> 01:47:59,880
Speaker 1: know that you have to bounce back for it because

2197
01:48:00,280 --> 01:48:03,559
Speaker 1: you're going to play Indy this week, and Indy doesn't

2198
01:48:03,600 --> 01:48:05,599
Speaker 1: care about what happened to you last week in Houston.

2199
01:48:05,800 --> 01:48:07,800
Speaker 1: So Uh, they're gonna come out and try and hit

2200
01:48:07,840 --> 01:48:10,320
Speaker 1: you in the mouth. So you gotta be ready. And

2201
01:48:10,439 --> 01:48:12,040
Speaker 1: the number one thing you do is you come in

2202
01:48:12,120 --> 01:48:15,320
Speaker 1: and you watch film today just like you've been doing, uh,

2203
01:48:15,400 --> 01:48:18,280
Speaker 1: and you pick it what you did will and really

2204
01:48:18,360 --> 01:48:20,240
Speaker 1: focus on what it is that you can do better,

2205
01:48:21,360 --> 01:48:25,599
Speaker 1: and you know, flush that game tomorrow on the day

2206
01:48:25,680 --> 01:48:27,560
Speaker 1: off to Tuesday. The day off, you you know, you

2207
01:48:27,640 --> 01:48:30,000
Speaker 1: watch a little film here and there, but when you

2208
01:48:30,080 --> 01:48:32,040
Speaker 1: come back to work Wednesday, that's exactly what you're doing.

2209
01:48:32,120 --> 01:48:34,240
Speaker 1: You're coming back to work. You're coming back to focus

2210
01:48:34,400 --> 01:48:37,360
Speaker 1: on Indy and forget about what just happened to you

2211
01:48:37,479 --> 01:48:40,080
Speaker 1: in in Houston. And as long as you do that

2212
01:48:40,520 --> 01:48:43,639
Speaker 1: and get yourself ready to come down and compete, Uh,

2213
01:48:43,840 --> 01:48:45,720
Speaker 1: go down to Indie and compete, you know you'll be

2214
01:48:45,760 --> 01:48:47,280
Speaker 1: all right because you guys have the tools that you

2215
01:48:47,400 --> 01:48:50,280
Speaker 1: need to to win the game. All right, good advice, Fred,

2216
01:48:50,320 --> 01:48:52,920
Speaker 1: Thanks very much, Fred, good talking to you. Fred Jackson,

2217
01:48:53,000 --> 01:48:55,240
Speaker 1: former Bills running back Fred Jackson E co hosts a

2218
01:48:55,360 --> 01:48:58,800
Speaker 1: regular show Sunday night, eleven thirty on MHG. Bills Tonight,

Speaker 1: Bills game every Sunday night, eleven thirty on msg JO.

2221
01:49:05,040 --> 01:49:08,040
Speaker 1: I'm Murphy Steve Tasker here at One Bill's Drive with

2222
01:49:08,160 --> 01:49:10,960
Speaker 1: One Bill's Live. Our Twitter question today not a poll,

2223
01:49:11,040 --> 01:49:13,920
Speaker 1: but our question deals with the Bills plans at quarterback.

2224
01:49:14,000 --> 01:49:17,320
Speaker 1: Let's say Josh Allen is healthy this week, who do

2225
01:49:17,400 --> 01:49:20,080
Speaker 1: you start a quarterback against the Indianapolis Colts. Give us

2226
01:49:20,080 --> 01:49:21,680
Speaker 1: a call, let us know what you think. Eight oh

2227
01:49:21,720 --> 01:49:24,320
Speaker 1: three h five fifty toll free one eight eight eight

2228
01:49:24,680 --> 01:49:28,200
Speaker 1: five fifty two five fifty. I say, Josh, You say, Josh, right,

2229
01:49:28,240 --> 01:49:29,880
Speaker 1: if he's healthy, right, that's the way to go. Yeah,

2230
01:49:29,920 --> 01:49:32,320
Speaker 1: I think so. I'm not ready to pull the plug

2231
01:49:32,400 --> 01:49:37,040
Speaker 1: on that yet. I think I don't see any sign

2232
01:49:37,760 --> 01:49:39,160
Speaker 1: we're not with you know. You and I don't talk

2233
01:49:39,160 --> 01:49:40,760
Speaker 1: to him every day, we don't see him every day.

2234
01:49:40,760 --> 01:49:44,000
Speaker 1: I'm not seeing any signs of him being ready to

2235
01:49:44,160 --> 01:49:47,559
Speaker 1: cashing in. Certainly, he does look like a young, nervous

2236
01:49:47,680 --> 01:49:51,400
Speaker 1: quarterback at times. There are times when his abilities really

2237
01:49:51,560 --> 01:49:54,120
Speaker 1: shine through. There are times when he makes great throws.

2238
01:49:54,760 --> 01:49:58,720
Speaker 1: But I don't think I've seen the point where it

2239
01:49:58,920 --> 01:50:04,000
Speaker 1: looks like it's bad for the team that he's out there. Uh,

2240
01:50:04,240 --> 01:50:06,960
Speaker 1: certainly there if you know, with better quarterback play, maybe

2241
01:50:07,000 --> 01:50:09,519
Speaker 1: the team would look better. But as we've both noted

2242
01:50:09,560 --> 01:50:13,320
Speaker 1: a number of times, this is a team with unproven

2243
01:50:13,400 --> 01:50:16,120
Speaker 1: wide receivers on one side in Zay Jones and then

2244
01:50:16,920 --> 01:50:19,000
Speaker 1: Kelvin Benjamin, who is a you know, is not a

2245
01:50:19,120 --> 01:50:22,200
Speaker 1: speed guy's a big target guy that you got to

2246
01:50:22,240 --> 01:50:24,719
Speaker 1: throw too when he's covered and that, and Josh Allen

2247
01:50:24,800 --> 01:50:26,920
Speaker 1: doesn't want to throw anybody when they're covered, yet you

2248
01:50:27,000 --> 01:50:28,639
Speaker 1: know he's wanting to throw it to an open guy

2249
01:50:28,760 --> 01:50:31,400
Speaker 1: still as a young quarterback. So you know their limit

2250
01:50:31,479 --> 01:50:34,360
Speaker 1: on the outside with what they're they're doing. Uh, their

2251
01:50:34,439 --> 01:50:37,040
Speaker 1: run game is being taken away by defenses as a

2252
01:50:37,120 --> 01:50:40,080
Speaker 1: matter of course to put the game into a rookie

2253
01:50:40,160 --> 01:50:44,639
Speaker 1: quarterback's hands. So their their run game is not producing

2254
01:50:44,760 --> 01:50:47,160
Speaker 1: like you'd love it to produce because the fact that

2255
01:50:47,280 --> 01:50:49,280
Speaker 1: that's the one thing the defense knows you've got. So

2256
01:50:50,040 --> 01:50:51,840
Speaker 1: you're up against a lot of things. But I still

2257
01:50:51,960 --> 01:50:55,840
Speaker 1: think in the midst of all of that, you're doing

2258
01:50:55,960 --> 01:50:57,960
Speaker 1: your future favor and you're giving your team your best

2259
01:50:58,040 --> 01:50:59,519
Speaker 1: chance to win with the best guy in there and

2260
01:50:59,560 --> 01:51:02,280
Speaker 1: that most physically gifted guy in there, and that's Josh Allen.

2261
01:51:02,320 --> 01:51:04,040
Speaker 1: So what do you think if Josh Allen is healthy?

2262
01:51:04,120 --> 01:51:06,160
Speaker 1: Who did the mill started quarterback on the tweet sheet,

2263
01:51:06,240 --> 01:51:10,400
Speaker 1: Keith Larkin responds, Josh Allen period, end of story. Gotta

2264
01:51:10,479 --> 01:51:12,120
Speaker 1: let him play and then I'll have the offseason to

2265
01:51:12,160 --> 01:51:15,040
Speaker 1: work with new wide receivers. This takes time. It takes

2266
01:51:15,080 --> 01:51:17,600
Speaker 1: at least twenty four starts before you know what you have.

2267
01:51:18,080 --> 01:51:20,160
Speaker 1: Where Keith got that number twenty I don't know. I

2268
01:51:20,240 --> 01:51:22,640
Speaker 1: was thinking about that and yesterday watching the season and

2269
01:51:22,720 --> 01:51:25,840
Speaker 1: a half watching Deshaun Watson. That was his twelfth NFL

2270
01:51:25,920 --> 01:51:29,040
Speaker 1: start yesterday. He's not a finished product either, By the way, Watson,

2271
01:51:29,080 --> 01:51:32,760
Speaker 1: he's good. He's talented, very athletic, very mobile, can throw

2272
01:51:32,800 --> 01:51:35,880
Speaker 1: a really nice pass. He's not a finished product though, No, no,

2273
01:51:36,040 --> 01:51:39,599
Speaker 1: he's not, and he'll You know, he had a stretch

2274
01:51:39,760 --> 01:51:41,800
Speaker 1: last year where before he got hurt, where they were

2275
01:51:41,960 --> 01:51:44,439
Speaker 1: lighten it up. They haven't been able to match that

2276
01:51:44,640 --> 01:51:47,760
Speaker 1: yet this year after the strong start he had got

2277
01:51:47,760 --> 01:51:50,080
Speaker 1: another from the tweet sheet John Whitfield, the only answer

2278
01:51:50,160 --> 01:51:52,479
Speaker 1: is Josh Allen, you don't pull him because he got hurt.

2279
01:51:53,000 --> 01:51:55,920
Speaker 1: Look how dejected he looked afterwards, didn't even talk after

2280
01:51:55,960 --> 01:51:57,519
Speaker 1: the game. If you bench him, I feel like you're

2281
01:51:57,600 --> 01:52:01,439
Speaker 1: hurting his process, process or progress, whichever you want to put.

2282
01:52:01,680 --> 01:52:04,960
Speaker 1: But yeah, um, what do you think about Josh Allen's

2283
01:52:05,439 --> 01:52:08,000
Speaker 1: reaction to being He was frustrated yesterday. He wanted to

2284
01:52:08,160 --> 01:52:10,680
Speaker 1: get back in and I liked. One of the things

2285
01:52:10,760 --> 01:52:13,240
Speaker 1: I like most about him is his competitive spirit, you know,

2286
01:52:13,360 --> 01:52:15,960
Speaker 1: And I think that was not display. He got up

2287
01:52:16,000 --> 01:52:17,560
Speaker 1: and threw a little bit on the sideline after he

2288
01:52:17,640 --> 01:52:19,240
Speaker 1: left the game time to show people I can play.

2289
01:52:19,320 --> 01:52:22,240
Speaker 1: I like that about him. I thought that's encouraging. He

2290
01:52:22,280 --> 01:52:24,439
Speaker 1: didn't sult or anything. Do you think he sulked or anything.

2291
01:52:24,680 --> 01:52:26,400
Speaker 1: I didn't see that. Didn't single like. He didn't pull

2292
01:52:26,439 --> 01:52:28,560
Speaker 1: a Jay Cutler and disengage at all. Oh No, I

2293
01:52:28,600 --> 01:52:31,720
Speaker 1: didn't see that at all. Um. I think he was.

2294
01:52:31,880 --> 01:52:34,960
Speaker 1: I think he uh. I think he was bummed. Yeah,

2295
01:52:35,120 --> 01:52:36,599
Speaker 1: I think he was want to jump back and coming.

2296
01:52:36,840 --> 01:52:38,639
Speaker 1: He I don't know if he's ever been pulled out

2297
01:52:38,680 --> 01:52:40,680
Speaker 1: of the game, you know what I mean? Yeah, Well,

2298
01:52:40,680 --> 01:52:42,600
Speaker 1: think about this. He gets hurt, gets banged, and he

2299
01:52:42,640 --> 01:52:45,040
Speaker 1: stays in for another play, and he made a throw

2300
01:52:45,960 --> 01:52:47,880
Speaker 1: and it hurt him. Yeah, he had to bend on

2301
01:52:47,920 --> 01:52:49,800
Speaker 1: and that's when he said it. He sat down. But

2302
01:52:50,040 --> 01:52:52,320
Speaker 1: that had to hurt before that last throw, right when

2303
01:52:52,320 --> 01:52:54,920
Speaker 1: it hurt before. Yeah, it hurt when it happened. Yeah. Uh,

2304
01:52:55,040 --> 01:52:57,479
Speaker 1: and he got up seeing I mean the people on

2305
01:52:57,600 --> 01:52:59,519
Speaker 1: MST are seeing what happened. Was between throw, he's kind

2306
01:52:59,520 --> 01:53:01,679
Speaker 1: of letting his him dangling and flex it a little

2307
01:53:01,720 --> 01:53:04,200
Speaker 1: bit and he had. The official probably asked, hey you okay,

2308
01:53:04,320 --> 01:53:06,680
Speaker 1: asked him about his head, and he says, no, it's

2309
01:53:06,720 --> 01:53:09,680
Speaker 1: my arm, not my head. And it was it was

2310
01:53:09,800 --> 01:53:12,280
Speaker 1: merciless coming in from the left. Everybody said, oh, he

2311
01:53:12,320 --> 01:53:14,160
Speaker 1: got hit in the chest. Well that wasn't what hurt him.

2312
01:53:14,479 --> 01:53:17,120
Speaker 1: Was merciless coming in hitting him on his throwing arm,

2313
01:53:17,600 --> 01:53:20,120
Speaker 1: and he came in through one more incompletion and then

2314
01:53:20,200 --> 01:53:24,080
Speaker 1: that hurt him bad. And uh, that's that's when he

2315
01:53:24,160 --> 01:53:26,800
Speaker 1: had had to come out of the game. Yeah, let's

2316
01:53:26,840 --> 01:53:29,479
Speaker 1: take you call here from Zach. Zach, go ahead, you're

2317
01:53:29,520 --> 01:53:32,160
Speaker 1: on the air with us. Hey, father, that's how are

2318
01:53:32,160 --> 01:53:37,360
Speaker 1: you doing good? I'm to stay out a team, Yes,

2319
01:53:37,840 --> 01:53:42,559
Speaker 1: I is. Um, they're gonna have to let do go. Um.

2320
01:53:42,800 --> 01:53:45,559
Speaker 1: I was a fan. I liked him as a matter

2321
01:53:45,560 --> 01:53:48,080
Speaker 1: of fact. Yesterday when he came into the game, he

2322
01:53:48,120 --> 01:53:50,840
Speaker 1: looked pretty good for a quick minute. He threw that

2323
01:53:51,000 --> 01:53:55,439
Speaker 1: nice pass to say Jones, but then the roof came

2324
01:53:55,520 --> 01:53:58,559
Speaker 1: in with that pass for the interception. He really crossed

2325
01:53:58,640 --> 01:54:01,439
Speaker 1: us that game on that pay Well, here's the thing, Zach,

2326
01:54:01,640 --> 01:54:03,400
Speaker 1: and I get what you're saying about him being on

2327
01:54:03,479 --> 01:54:08,280
Speaker 1: the team. You listen, you got Zach Josh Allen who

2328
01:54:08,439 --> 01:54:12,120
Speaker 1: may not be one hundred percent healthy. So you're gonna

2329
01:54:12,120 --> 01:54:14,920
Speaker 1: go into the game and presumably start somebody other than

2330
01:54:15,040 --> 01:54:18,120
Speaker 1: Josh Allen if Alan can't go, and then you can't

2331
01:54:18,120 --> 01:54:22,080
Speaker 1: afford really to letting Nate Peterman go because you need

2332
01:54:22,120 --> 01:54:25,360
Speaker 1: a body, somebody to take snaps, and as distasteful as

2333
01:54:25,400 --> 01:54:27,920
Speaker 1: it sounds, it may have to be Nate Peterman depending

2334
01:54:27,960 --> 01:54:30,200
Speaker 1: on Derek Anderson and his ability to get ready for

2335
01:54:30,280 --> 01:54:33,400
Speaker 1: a game. And even if that happens, if Derek Anderson

2336
01:54:33,440 --> 01:54:36,440
Speaker 1: gets his elbow hit, you're back to Nate Peterman again.

2337
01:54:36,480 --> 01:54:38,160
Speaker 1: But at least you've got a guy that can take snaps.

2338
01:54:38,200 --> 01:54:40,200
Speaker 1: I mean, I know how distasteful that sounds, but you

2339
01:54:40,320 --> 01:54:43,360
Speaker 1: can't cut your third quarterback when you need too to

2340
01:54:43,400 --> 01:54:46,280
Speaker 1: go into a game and not having two available if

2341
01:54:46,360 --> 01:54:49,280
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, indeed is his injury keeps him out for

2342
01:54:49,320 --> 01:54:52,000
Speaker 1: a week or two weeks or six weeks or whatever.

2343
01:54:52,320 --> 01:54:54,920
Speaker 1: So I get the fact that you're going, why how's

2344
01:54:54,960 --> 01:54:56,440
Speaker 1: the guy still on the team while he's still on

2345
01:54:56,520 --> 01:54:59,400
Speaker 1: the team, because he may be the last guy standing healthy. Yeah,

2346
01:54:59,480 --> 01:55:02,120
Speaker 1: these aren't United moves either, right, They don't release people

2347
01:55:02,240 --> 01:55:05,400
Speaker 1: say you're punished because you threw that interception. Though they'll

2348
01:55:05,400 --> 01:55:08,680
Speaker 1: make it's a cumulus, it's not. They don't cut guys

2349
01:55:08,880 --> 01:55:13,040
Speaker 1: because they react, right, They cut guys because of where

2350
01:55:13,080 --> 01:55:15,480
Speaker 1: the team's evolving to where they're going. Yeah, all right,

2351
01:55:15,520 --> 01:55:17,760
Speaker 1: we're gonna take a break. We'll pick this up again

2352
01:55:17,800 --> 01:55:20,600
Speaker 1: when we return, if Josh Allen is healthy. Sunday, who

2353
01:55:20,640 --> 01:55:22,560

2363
01:55:58,520 --> 01:56:01,200
Speaker 1: much time today talking about the quarter backs, justifiably in

2364
01:56:01,520 --> 01:56:04,600
Speaker 1: the quarterback dilemma facing the Buffalo Bills. But I do

2365
01:56:04,720 --> 01:56:08,480
Speaker 1: think we've given short shrift to how well the defense

2366
01:56:08,560 --> 01:56:10,520
Speaker 1: played yesterday. We mentioned it early, but I mean they

2367
01:56:10,720 --> 01:56:15,120
Speaker 1: played lights out yesterday through the entire game. You know

2368
01:56:15,280 --> 01:56:19,080
Speaker 1: the seven sacks. Yes, Watson had been sacked a lot,

2369
01:56:19,200 --> 01:56:24,960
Speaker 1: but seven sacks, takeaways, goal line stands. What do you

2370
01:56:25,000 --> 01:56:26,800
Speaker 1: want from your defense? You've got it all yesterday from

2371
01:56:26,800 --> 01:56:29,200
Speaker 1: the Buffalo defense. They were sensational, yester, Let me just go,

2372
01:56:29,440 --> 01:56:32,040
Speaker 1: let me just breathe through their defensive rankings for these

2373
01:56:32,200 --> 01:56:37,800
Speaker 1: different categories. Yards per game their third in the league.

2374
01:56:38,440 --> 01:56:41,360
Speaker 1: Yards per play their third in the league. Yards rushing

2375
01:56:41,480 --> 01:56:44,560
Speaker 1: per game their eighth in the league. Yards rushing per

2376
01:56:44,640 --> 01:56:47,480
Speaker 1: play seventh in the league. Passing yards per game they're

2377
01:56:47,520 --> 01:56:50,280
Speaker 1: sixth in the league. Passing yards per play their third

2378
01:56:50,360 --> 01:56:54,000
Speaker 1: in the league. Sacks per pass attempt their number seven

2379
01:56:54,080 --> 01:56:58,640
Speaker 1: in the league. They are getting it done, absolutely they are.

2380
01:56:59,000 --> 01:57:01,320
Speaker 1: They are really and there an elite defense right now

2381
01:57:01,400 --> 01:57:04,360
Speaker 1: in the National Football League. They do their NFL does

2382
01:57:04,440 --> 01:57:07,520
Speaker 1: the rankings by yards giving up, So forget about points

2383
01:57:07,600 --> 01:57:10,800
Speaker 1: giving up and turnover and all that stuff. They are

2384
01:57:10,920 --> 01:57:13,560
Speaker 1: number three in the league, and yards giving up their

2385
01:57:13,640 --> 01:57:16,000
Speaker 1: number three in the league. Also in yards per play

2386
01:57:16,520 --> 01:57:19,400
Speaker 1: and passing yards per play their number six, and passing

2387
01:57:19,480 --> 01:57:22,000
Speaker 1: yards a game. You can't they're having. People are having

2388
01:57:22,040 --> 01:57:25,680
Speaker 1: trouble moving the football on them, and the way they're

2389
01:57:25,800 --> 01:57:29,720
Speaker 1: churning out turnovers is a huge boost as well that.

2390
01:57:29,960 --> 01:57:33,840
Speaker 1: I mean, that's how you play elite defense, and they are.

2391
01:57:34,080 --> 01:57:37,320
Speaker 1: They are getting it done on every level front linebackers

2392
01:57:37,440 --> 01:57:41,760
Speaker 1: and their secondary and the way they played yesterday was phenomenal.

2393
01:57:41,840 --> 01:57:44,920
Speaker 1: And if they you know, obviously, the good thing about

2394
01:57:44,960 --> 01:57:47,520
Speaker 1: this whole scenario, Murphis, isn't this, I guess is what

2395
01:57:47,680 --> 01:57:51,360
Speaker 1: I'm chirping about all day today. When they're playing like that,

2396
01:57:52,360 --> 01:57:55,040
Speaker 1: the Bills can win every game. Absolutely, the Bills can

2397
01:57:55,120 --> 01:57:58,120
Speaker 1: win every single game they're in. When your defense plays

2398
01:57:58,200 --> 01:58:01,000
Speaker 1: like that, I don't care who's playing quarterback. And that's

2399
01:58:01,520 --> 01:58:03,720
Speaker 1: that's the good thing about where the Bills are at

2400
01:58:03,840 --> 01:58:06,040
Speaker 1: right now. And the sad thing about the discouraging thing

2401
01:58:06,160 --> 01:58:07,680
Speaker 1: is that you know, they waste an effort like they

2402
01:58:07,720 --> 01:58:09,920
Speaker 1: did yesterday, where you had the game in your hand

2403
01:58:10,080 --> 01:58:12,880
Speaker 1: with you know, with four minutes to go and you

2404
01:58:12,960 --> 01:58:19,720
Speaker 1: couldn't win it. And or also the offense was unproductive

2405
01:58:19,760 --> 01:58:24,000
Speaker 1: and your special teams are counterproductive towards it, and your

2406
01:58:24,040 --> 01:58:26,640
Speaker 1: offense is a little bit like that too, when they

2407
01:58:26,760 --> 01:58:28,560
Speaker 1: when they're get can't get out of their own way

2408
01:58:28,600 --> 01:58:31,600
Speaker 1: with formations and penalties, So everybody else on the team

2409
01:58:31,760 --> 01:58:34,200
Speaker 1: is kind of at least tread and water, maybe maybe

2410
01:58:34,400 --> 01:58:37,040
Speaker 1: dumping water from the ocean into the boat. You know

2411
01:58:37,520 --> 01:58:40,680
Speaker 1: that the defense is trying to keep afloat, so that

2412
01:58:40,880 --> 01:58:42,800
Speaker 1: The good thing about it, though, is when they're playing

2413
01:58:42,880 --> 01:58:45,920
Speaker 1: like they are, Man, oh man, you're you're gonna be

2414
01:58:46,040 --> 01:58:48,120
Speaker 1: in a lot of one score games with a chance

2415
01:58:48,160 --> 01:58:51,120
Speaker 1: to win it. You were on the sidelines yesterday. Did

2416
01:58:51,160 --> 01:58:54,520
Speaker 1: watch Baltimore's defense shutout Tennessee twenty one? The Nathina eleven Sacks.

2417
01:58:54,880 --> 01:58:56,800
Speaker 1: Ravens are ranked number one in the league of the

2418
01:58:56,960 --> 01:58:59,480
Speaker 1: Jaguars are ranked number two defensively, the Bills are three.

2419
01:59:00,000 --> 01:59:01,560
Speaker 1: Who's the best of that group? Do you think is

2420
01:59:01,600 --> 01:59:04,360
Speaker 1: it Baltimore better defense in Buffalo through the first six

2421
01:59:04,440 --> 01:59:07,920
Speaker 1: games this season? Boy, I don't know. It's close call,

2422
01:59:08,080 --> 01:59:12,680
Speaker 1: because um I think I don't. I can't remember the

2423
01:59:13,080 --> 01:59:16,160
Speaker 1: let me, I can't remember the games that the the

2424
01:59:16,320 --> 01:59:19,120
Speaker 1: Ravens lost. I mean, they're you're sitting here there four

2425
01:59:19,200 --> 01:59:24,800
Speaker 1: and two. I don't think they've had games against a

2426
01:59:24,920 --> 01:59:30,880
Speaker 1: team like Buffalo had against um like like the Ravens

2427
01:59:30,960 --> 01:59:33,600
Speaker 1: defense had against Buffalo, you know, I mean the Ravens

2428
01:59:33,680 --> 01:59:37,360
Speaker 1: defense was against Buffalo offense, and Buffalo I don't think

2429
01:59:37,400 --> 01:59:41,200
Speaker 1: has played an offense as poor as what Buffalo's offense

2430
01:59:41,280 --> 01:59:43,800
Speaker 1: has been for the teams they've played, you know, So

2431
01:59:43,920 --> 01:59:46,320
Speaker 1: the Baltimore Ravens have a game against the Buffalo offense,

2432
01:59:46,880 --> 01:59:52,240
Speaker 1: Buffalo's I mean, they played Philip Rivers, they played Aaron Rodgers,

2433
01:59:52,960 --> 01:59:57,400
Speaker 1: they played Joe Flacco and who was the fourth one

2434
01:59:57,440 --> 02:00:02,520
Speaker 1: of those first four, yea Kirk Cousins. The Ravens haven't

2435
02:00:02,560 --> 02:00:04,600
Speaker 1: played a stretch of quarterbacks like that. Now. They did

2436
02:00:04,680 --> 02:00:09,880
Speaker 1: play Ben Roethlisberger. Uh, they played Marcus Mariota, they played um,

2437
02:00:12,200 --> 02:00:14,200
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, I just don't. I just don't

2438
02:00:14,240 --> 02:00:20,280
Speaker 1: think the offense is that the Baltimore Ravens have faced. Yeah,

2439
02:00:20,320 --> 02:00:22,960
Speaker 1: I think they're I don't know if they're as as

2440
02:00:23,520 --> 02:00:26,240
Speaker 1: you know, like the Bills offenses that they faced. I

2441
02:00:26,280 --> 02:00:29,240
Speaker 1: think the Bills are playing better against better defenses. They

2442
02:00:29,320 --> 02:00:31,680
Speaker 1: faced some good quarterbacks. Yeah, they played some good quarterbacks.

2443
02:00:31,720 --> 02:00:33,520
Speaker 1: So it's gonna be interesting and over the course of

2444
02:00:33,520 --> 02:00:35,680
Speaker 1: the sixteen weeks, Hey, listen, we're gonna find out who

2445
02:00:35,720 --> 02:00:38,840
Speaker 1: it is. And the Bills, I think, to their credit,

2446
02:00:39,600 --> 02:00:42,280
Speaker 1: got healthier this last week and it showed in their

2447
02:00:42,320 --> 02:00:46,839
Speaker 1: secondary they were much healthier. Shack Lawson got a sack yesterday.

2448
02:00:46,880 --> 02:00:50,160
Speaker 1: So and I think Jordan Phillips has given them a

2449
02:00:50,200 --> 02:00:54,160
Speaker 1: little energy. Yeah. Absolutely, So they're getting better. And so

2450
02:00:54,280 --> 02:00:56,440
Speaker 1: I'm I'm really and that's why I was kind of

2451
02:00:56,560 --> 02:00:59,720
Speaker 1: encouraged by this loss yesterday. Defense is encouraging, no question.

2452
02:01:00,040 --> 02:01:02,200
Speaker 1: We're talking to you about the quarterback though. If Josh

2453
02:01:02,280 --> 02:01:04,960
Speaker 1: Allen is healthy, who should play the Sunday? What do

2454
02:01:05,000 --> 02:01:07,120
Speaker 1: you think? Eight h three five fifty toll free one

2455
02:01:07,280 --> 02:01:10,160
Speaker 1: eight eight five fifty two five fifty Keith and West

2456
02:01:10,200 --> 02:01:15,080
Speaker 1: Seneca Go ahead, Keith around the air, you go ahead, Keith?

2457
02:01:15,560 --> 02:01:18,200
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Uh, Steve, I want to see one that

2458
02:01:18,240 --> 02:01:19,720
Speaker 1: I hope you get in the Hall of Fame, buddy.

2459
02:01:21,080 --> 02:01:24,160
Speaker 1: But there's a Josh if he was If het not

2460
02:01:24,280 --> 02:01:27,160
Speaker 1: ready to play, don't play him. Uh. He's our fan

2461
02:01:27,240 --> 02:01:30,160
Speaker 1: tick quarterback. You don't get him killed. That's just the

2462
02:01:30,240 --> 02:01:32,320
Speaker 1: way it's going to be, right, I think. Yeah, And

2463
02:01:32,920 --> 02:01:35,080
Speaker 1: what Keith you're telling I agree with you. If he's

2464
02:01:35,080 --> 02:01:36,800
Speaker 1: not ready to play, give him a chance to sit

2465
02:01:36,880 --> 02:01:39,760
Speaker 1: down and rest it. Um. Well, if he's healthy, what

2466
02:01:39,840 --> 02:01:42,240
Speaker 1: do you think, Keith? Oh, I'm sorry, we just lost. Okay,

2467
02:01:42,280 --> 02:01:45,240
Speaker 1: all right, So that's the thing about it. I think

2468
02:01:45,280 --> 02:01:47,080
Speaker 1: we all kind of sit in the same page. I'm

2469
02:01:47,120 --> 02:01:50,200
Speaker 1: not ready to bail out on him yet. Um, certainly

2470
02:01:50,240 --> 02:01:52,560
Speaker 1: he could play better, and certainly you'd like to see

2471
02:01:52,680 --> 02:01:54,760
Speaker 1: him on a lot of these players. You say, whoa, whoa,

2472
02:01:54,840 --> 02:01:57,480
Speaker 1: take a deep breath, yea, and go through your progressions.

2473
02:01:57,920 --> 02:02:00,920
Speaker 1: Trust your offensive line a little bit because they're playing

2474
02:02:00,920 --> 02:02:04,720
Speaker 1: a little better. They played I think, surprisingly well against

2475
02:02:04,880 --> 02:02:10,360
Speaker 1: Jadeveon Clowney and Merciless and JJ Watt, So I think

2476
02:02:10,360 --> 02:02:12,120
Speaker 1: you gotta start trusting them a little bit and know

2477
02:02:12,400 --> 02:02:14,560
Speaker 1: that it's gonna feel uncomfortable in there at times with

2478
02:02:14,640 --> 02:02:16,400
Speaker 1: those guys closing in around you, but you got to

2479
02:02:16,400 --> 02:02:18,400
Speaker 1: give your receivers a chance, and you know on the

2480
02:02:18,440 --> 02:02:22,000
Speaker 1: outside they've got to play better too. But I think

2481
02:02:22,600 --> 02:02:24,080
Speaker 1: if you can sit there and sit down with them,

2482
02:02:24,120 --> 02:02:26,520
Speaker 1: say hey, come on, just take a deep breath, relax,

2483
02:02:26,560 --> 02:02:28,360
Speaker 1: show a little patience in the pocket, and get that

2484
02:02:28,480 --> 02:02:32,000
Speaker 1: release out of there, get the ball out on time. Yeah,

2485
02:02:32,000 --> 02:02:34,120
Speaker 1: I'd like to see more of that. And I know

2486
02:02:34,280 --> 02:02:36,360
Speaker 1: that's what those guys. They're coaching them up hard on

2487
02:02:36,440 --> 02:02:38,040
Speaker 1: all of that stuff that we've been talking about. You're

2488
02:02:38,040 --> 02:02:39,760
Speaker 1: gonna take a break right here. We'll be back at

2489
02:02:39,800 --> 02:02:41,120
Speaker 1: the moment to wrap things up, to get a few

2490
02:02:41,160 --> 02:02:43,680
Speaker 1: more phone calls in One Bill's Live from One Bill's Driving.

2491
02:02:43,760 --> 02:03:04,400
Speaker 1: This is Buffalo Bill's Radio. What have we learned from

2492
02:03:04,440 --> 02:03:07,720
Speaker 1: today's show? Presented by Advanced Alarm providing Western New York's

2493
02:03:08,040 --> 02:03:11,000
Speaker 1: homes and businesses with the finance and Security at Home Theater,

2494
02:03:11,440 --> 02:03:13,720
Speaker 1: the preferred Alarm at Home Theater provider of the Buffalo Bills.

2495
02:03:13,760 --> 02:03:15,240
Speaker 1: What have we learned? We had Dan Orlovsky on the

2496
02:03:15,280 --> 02:03:18,720
Speaker 1: show with us early on at twelve thirty, twelve year

2497
02:03:18,800 --> 02:03:21,720
Speaker 1: veteran NFL quarterback now at the NFL analysts for ESPN.

2498
02:03:21,920 --> 02:03:23,920
Speaker 1: You know, people talk about Josh Allen and keep them

2499
02:03:23,920 --> 02:03:25,200
Speaker 1: in there, you might ruin them. And I asked dan

2500
02:03:25,280 --> 02:03:27,160
Speaker 1: Ard Lafsky, what does it mean when people say you

2501
02:03:27,360 --> 02:03:29,040
Speaker 1: ruin a quarterback? How do you do that? Here's what

2502
02:03:29,120 --> 02:03:32,800
Speaker 1: he had to say. You're putting a guy out there,

2503
02:03:32,880 --> 02:03:35,280
Speaker 1: and he's abbing all these failures, right, and so at

2504
02:03:35,360 --> 02:03:38,280
Speaker 1: some point, you know, there could be this little thing

2505
02:03:38,320 --> 02:03:40,720
Speaker 1: called doubt, self doult that could start to creep in.

2506
02:03:41,120 --> 02:03:43,680
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm not ready for it, Maybe this game is

2507
02:03:43,720 --> 02:03:46,200
Speaker 1: too big maybe what people say is true, and you

2508
02:03:46,320 --> 02:03:49,280
Speaker 1: hope that copy paste, but we see it all the time.

2509
02:03:49,600 --> 02:03:52,600
Speaker 1: You start seeing things that aren't there, and you start

2510
02:03:52,960 --> 02:03:56,000
Speaker 1: not trusting what's around you, and you start trying to

2511
02:03:56,080 --> 02:03:58,320
Speaker 1: be somebody or do things that you shouldn't be trying

2512
02:03:58,360 --> 02:04:00,320
Speaker 1: to do, and then all of them good. You get

2513
02:04:00,400 --> 02:04:03,800
Speaker 1: this guy that you know becomes the sell of themselves

2514
02:04:03,880 --> 02:04:05,440
Speaker 1: over time, and then all of a sun of this

2515
02:04:05,520 --> 02:04:08,920
Speaker 1: guy's escaping the pockets too early, sowing the ball too early,

2516
02:04:09,440 --> 02:04:11,920
Speaker 1: not seeing defenders could be still concerned with the rush.

2517
02:04:12,480 --> 02:04:15,240
Speaker 1: We see it every year that more young quarterbacks the

2518
02:04:15,480 --> 02:04:19,480
Speaker 1: NFL are rude than they are made. Interesting talks from

2519
02:04:19,560 --> 02:04:21,800
Speaker 1: Dan Alasco. I'll talk with Steve about that at a moment. Also,

2520
02:04:21,880 --> 02:04:24,640
Speaker 1: Chris Brown, Bills insider Buffalo bills dot Com, joined us today.

2521
02:04:24,920 --> 02:04:27,440
Speaker 1: We asked him, if Josh Allen is healthy, who the

2522
02:04:27,480 --> 02:04:32,520
Speaker 1: Bill should start at quarterback to Sunday in Indianapolis. I

2523
02:04:32,680 --> 02:04:35,640
Speaker 1: think you have to turn to Derek provided there is

2524
02:04:35,840 --> 02:04:39,440
Speaker 1: enough of the offensive playbook that he has mastered where

2525
02:04:39,440 --> 02:04:42,400
Speaker 1: you can put together a scale down game plan for

2526
02:04:42,520 --> 02:04:44,640
Speaker 1: him to execute for you on Sunday. I think you

2527
02:04:45,240 --> 02:04:48,680
Speaker 1: have to turn to that right now. I think Josh

2528
02:04:48,800 --> 02:04:53,560
Speaker 1: needs to get a different perspective of the game from

2529
02:04:53,640 --> 02:04:57,440
Speaker 1: the sidelines, listening with the year piece to how Derek

2530
02:04:57,640 --> 02:05:01,440
Speaker 1: is interacting with the coaching staff, how he's executing plays,

2531
02:05:02,080 --> 02:05:09,280
Speaker 1: and gain some knowledge from that. Chris Brown saying he

2532
02:05:09,320 --> 02:05:11,360
Speaker 1: would turn to Derek Anderson, I think we both disagree.

2533
02:05:11,360 --> 02:05:13,640
Speaker 1: If Josh is healthy, I'd stayed with him, right, yeah, yeah.

2534
02:05:13,840 --> 02:05:16,840
Speaker 1: But Orlovsky's comment Steve about and I asked him a question,

2535
02:05:16,920 --> 02:05:18,200
Speaker 1: what does it mean when we say you can't you

2536
02:05:18,200 --> 02:05:20,040
Speaker 1: don't want to ruin a quarterback? I thought it's a

2537
02:05:20,080 --> 02:05:23,120
Speaker 1: really good answer, and I don't. Here's here's part of

2538
02:05:23,200 --> 02:05:25,840
Speaker 1: where I get to the Josh Allen think. I don't

2539
02:05:25,880 --> 02:05:27,920
Speaker 1: see all those signs yet. And Josh Allen, I don't

2540
02:05:27,920 --> 02:05:31,320
Speaker 1: think he's he's seeing ghosts or doubting himself. I'm sure

2541
02:05:31,440 --> 02:05:33,600
Speaker 1: there's a little bit more than anything. I see him

2542
02:05:33,680 --> 02:05:36,640
Speaker 1: not taking time, and I think talk about that third

2543
02:05:36,720 --> 02:05:39,560
Speaker 1: quarter short series when he ran pulled it and ran

2544
02:05:39,600 --> 02:05:42,040
Speaker 1: a little bit too early. I see him not taking

2545
02:05:42,080 --> 02:05:44,640
Speaker 1: a good long lookdown field, not standing in there forcing

2546
02:05:44,720 --> 02:05:46,920
Speaker 1: himself to make a throw downfield, just electing to run.

2547
02:05:47,040 --> 02:05:49,040
Speaker 1: That worries me a little bit. But if he's healthy,

2548
02:05:49,200 --> 02:05:51,760
Speaker 1: I'd say keep going full speed ahead. Let's great. Yeah,

2549
02:05:51,760 --> 02:05:53,400
Speaker 1: if he's healthy, to put him back in there, because

2550
02:05:53,400 --> 02:05:55,480
Speaker 1: I think, let's, let's face it, we've seen it in

2551
02:05:55,520 --> 02:05:59,200
Speaker 1: the NFL, and I have some some confidence in this

2552
02:05:59,440 --> 02:06:01,920
Speaker 1: group here and Buffalo, this coaching group here in Buffalo,

2553
02:06:02,200 --> 02:06:03,960
Speaker 1: they're going to handle him the right way. They're gonna

2554
02:06:03,960 --> 02:06:06,080
Speaker 1: build him up and make sure he's got enough weapons

2555
02:06:06,120 --> 02:06:09,200
Speaker 1: and enough tools and enough coaching to where he feels

2556
02:06:09,240 --> 02:06:11,520
Speaker 1: confident in his game plan. They're gonna get him through

2557
02:06:11,680 --> 02:06:13,480
Speaker 1: any rough patch. And let's face it, this is a

2558
02:06:13,560 --> 02:06:15,880
Speaker 1: rough patch. Oh yeah, getting nicked up in a game

2559
02:06:15,920 --> 02:06:17,920
Speaker 1: where he didn't play well, having to be benched, having

2560
02:06:17,920 --> 02:06:20,480
Speaker 1: the other guy come in throw a touchdown, then lose it. Ultimately,

2561
02:06:20,800 --> 02:06:23,080
Speaker 1: all this stuff's going on, and knowing that you know

2562
02:06:23,160 --> 02:06:25,040
Speaker 1: what you've got, you've got a chance. If you're healthy,

2563
02:06:25,040 --> 02:06:27,680
Speaker 1: you're gonna be stepping back in that huddle with a

2564
02:06:27,800 --> 02:06:29,760
Speaker 1: defense that's good enough to win with. And all you

2565
02:06:29,880 --> 02:06:32,320
Speaker 1: gotta do is make some think something out of nothing.

2566
02:06:35,240 --> 02:06:37,280
Speaker 1: I think this group is going to get more out

2567
02:06:37,320 --> 02:06:39,200
Speaker 1: of him, and I think I have a lot of

2568
02:06:39,280 --> 02:06:41,160
Speaker 1: confidence they're going to handle this the right way. There's

2569
02:06:41,160 --> 02:06:44,560
Speaker 1: no question Josh Allen's got a lot of football to play,

2570
02:06:45,080 --> 02:06:47,360
Speaker 1: and I think they're gonna keep giving him the opportunity

2571
02:06:47,400 --> 02:06:49,000
Speaker 1: as long as he's physically able to do it, and

2572
02:06:49,040 --> 02:06:50,800
Speaker 1: I think it's the right move. Before we get to

2573
02:06:50,920 --> 02:06:52,840
Speaker 1: a couple of more phone calls, let's get to NFL

2574
02:06:52,880 --> 02:06:56,000
Speaker 1: True and False, brought to you by Yancey's Fancy New

2575
02:06:56,080 --> 02:06:58,640
Speaker 1: York's Artistan Cheese. A couple of NFL issues we want

2576
02:06:58,640 --> 02:07:01,560
Speaker 1: to discuss, and I gotta say I can't believe some

2577
02:07:01,640 --> 02:07:05,600
Speaker 1: of these. That the first one is ultimately false. NFL

2578
02:07:05,640 --> 02:07:08,400
Speaker 1: true or false it is, I'll be the judges. This

2579
02:07:08,600 --> 02:07:11,760
Speaker 1: is an article in the New Jersey dot Com today,

2580
02:07:11,800 --> 02:07:14,480
Speaker 1: So get ready for this. The Jets are a sneaky

2581
02:07:14,560 --> 02:07:19,320
Speaker 1: playoff caliber team, the New York Jets. False, absolutely false.

2582
02:07:19,360 --> 02:07:22,280
Speaker 1: They're three and three and impressive, whenever the Colts yesterday.

2583
02:07:22,520 --> 02:07:25,000
Speaker 1: They're three and three, They're not five and one. The

2584
02:07:25,120 --> 02:07:28,920
Speaker 1: Jets are nowhere near as a decent playoff caliber team. False. Yeah,

2585
02:07:28,920 --> 02:07:31,280
Speaker 1: I'd say false. At this point we say it again. False, Yeah,

2586
02:07:31,440 --> 02:07:35,320
Speaker 1: I'd say I'd say that's uh, that's I agree with that.

2587
02:07:35,520 --> 02:07:38,760
Speaker 1: That they're the AFC. I mean they're way down their

2588
02:07:38,840 --> 02:07:41,600
Speaker 1: number eleven in the AFC let alone, you know, the

2589
02:07:42,040 --> 02:07:44,480
Speaker 1: whole kit and kaboodle. So they're not They're not anywhere

2590
02:07:44,560 --> 02:07:47,320
Speaker 1: near it. You've got a bunch of teams playing better

2591
02:07:47,480 --> 02:07:51,040
Speaker 1: than they are, and you've got I don't know, I

2592
02:07:51,160 --> 02:07:53,160
Speaker 1: just I just don't see it. I'm with you, Murph.

2593
02:07:53,200 --> 02:07:55,280
Speaker 1: I think that's false. I think there's no question Sam

2594
02:07:55,360 --> 02:07:57,200
Speaker 1: Darnold has been impressive. I think he shows a lot

2595
02:07:57,280 --> 02:07:59,360
Speaker 1: of promise there. I think the Jets have got some

2596
02:07:59,440 --> 02:08:02,360
Speaker 1: pretty good guys around him, particularly outside, with some speed

2597
02:08:02,440 --> 02:08:06,280
Speaker 1: guys that he's using, and they're having some success. But

2598
02:08:06,400 --> 02:08:09,400
Speaker 1: I think it goes I think they're they're far from

2599
02:08:09,440 --> 02:08:11,280
Speaker 1: being one of the elite teams in the AFC and

2600
02:08:11,440 --> 02:08:14,080
Speaker 1: even a sneaky dark horse playoff team. True or false.

2601
02:08:14,360 --> 02:08:17,480
Speaker 1: Number two, The Steelers do not need Levion Bell to

2602
02:08:17,600 --> 02:08:20,680
Speaker 1: win the AFC North. I don't know if they're gonna

2603
02:08:20,680 --> 02:08:23,320
Speaker 1: win the division, but I would say that's true. They

2604
02:08:23,400 --> 02:08:25,280
Speaker 1: might not. He might not make that much of a difference.

2605
02:08:25,320 --> 02:08:27,280
Speaker 1: I think you're you're a big Ravens fan. All of

2606
02:08:27,320 --> 02:08:29,000
Speaker 1: a sudden, the Ravens look like the guys who might

2607
02:08:29,080 --> 02:08:30,760
Speaker 1: win it. I think it's true. I think the Steelers

2608
02:08:30,840 --> 02:08:32,400
Speaker 1: and they may have something. They're gonna have something to

2609
02:08:32,440 --> 02:08:34,200
Speaker 1: say about who wins the North, no question about it.

2610
02:08:34,240 --> 02:08:36,640
Speaker 1: They got a lot of games left. But Connor's doing

2611
02:08:37,040 --> 02:08:40,600
Speaker 1: just fine. In fact, at this point last year, Connor

2612
02:08:40,680 --> 02:08:43,240
Speaker 1: has more Fantasy points and has had a better individual

2613
02:08:43,320 --> 02:08:45,840
Speaker 1: season than Levion Bell did last year. Now, granted, Levion

2614
02:08:45,920 --> 02:08:47,520
Speaker 1: Bell came in late and took him a while to

2615
02:08:47,560 --> 02:08:49,960
Speaker 1: get up and running, but I looked at the numbers.

2616
02:08:49,960 --> 02:08:52,920
Speaker 1: They didn't take him that long. They gave him one.

2617
02:08:52,960 --> 02:08:55,280
Speaker 1: They had one game where he had like six carries

2618
02:08:55,360 --> 02:08:56,840
Speaker 1: or eight carries, and then the rest of the time

2619
02:08:56,920 --> 02:09:00,520
Speaker 1: they were handing him the ball. Connor has come in

2620
02:09:00,680 --> 02:09:03,600
Speaker 1: and played extremely well. And I don't think there's any

2621
02:09:03,680 --> 02:09:07,240
Speaker 1: question that the Steelers can win as many games with

2622
02:09:07,400 --> 02:09:09,720
Speaker 1: Connor as they can with Levon Bell. You can, you know,

2623
02:09:09,840 --> 02:09:12,400
Speaker 1: I know people are gonna go crazy over me saying

2624
02:09:12,440 --> 02:09:16,800
Speaker 1: that I'll stick by it. I think Connor can play

2625
02:09:16,840 --> 02:09:18,400
Speaker 1: well enough for the Steelers to be as good as

2626
02:09:18,400 --> 02:09:21,080
Speaker 1: they want to be. And finally, NFL Tourer false Adam

2627
02:09:21,120 --> 02:09:25,480
Speaker 1: Feeling Minnesota Vikings is the NFL's best wide receiver. No,

2628
02:09:25,760 --> 02:09:29,480
Speaker 1: that's false. The reason this is discussed in a Pro

2629
02:09:29,600 --> 02:09:32,200
Speaker 1: Football Talk article, is that he's on pace to shatter

2630
02:09:32,360 --> 02:09:35,240
Speaker 1: the league record for most catches in the season. Fifty

2631
02:09:35,280 --> 02:09:37,840
Speaker 1: eight catches through six games puts them on pace for

2632
02:09:37,880 --> 02:09:41,879
Speaker 1: one under fifty four catches, which would shatter Marvin Harrison's

2633
02:09:41,920 --> 02:09:45,160
Speaker 1: single season reception record. So what, he's not the NFL's

2634
02:09:45,240 --> 02:09:47,680
Speaker 1: wide receiver. He might not make the He probably not

2635
02:09:47,760 --> 02:09:50,240
Speaker 1: top fifteen in the NFL's best wide receivers. He no,

2636
02:09:50,360 --> 02:09:52,360
Speaker 1: we saw him against Buffalo. Racked up a ton of

2637
02:09:52,440 --> 02:09:54,440
Speaker 1: catches against the Bills that had nothing to do with

2638
02:09:54,520 --> 02:09:56,960
Speaker 1: the game. He nothing to offer. Listen, he may be

2639
02:09:57,040 --> 02:09:59,640
Speaker 1: one of the most productive this season, no question. Adman

2640
02:09:59,760 --> 02:10:01,320
Speaker 1: used to But I'll tell you what if you line

2641
02:10:01,400 --> 02:10:03,400
Speaker 1: him up with you can you know a handful of

2642
02:10:03,480 --> 02:10:06,040
Speaker 1: other guys in the league. He's not going to be

2643
02:10:06,080 --> 02:10:11,200
Speaker 1: the one you take aj Green, Julio Jones. Yes, you

2644
02:10:11,280 --> 02:10:14,360
Speaker 1: know you can get DeAndre Hopkins yesterday that you saw

2645
02:10:14,960 --> 02:10:18,920
Speaker 1: Mohammed Sanu. Yeah, even guys like that. You know, there's

2646
02:10:19,080 --> 02:10:20,480
Speaker 1: a lot of guys in the league that you would

2647
02:10:20,520 --> 02:10:24,600
Speaker 1: take before you would take Adam Feeling. But you can't

2648
02:10:24,680 --> 02:10:27,200
Speaker 1: sneeze at what he's done. He's helping his team. He's

2649
02:10:27,240 --> 02:10:31,760
Speaker 1: getting a lot of catches, he's productive, but he gets

2650
02:10:32,040 --> 02:10:35,280
Speaker 1: a ton of targets. Yeah, and a lot of guys,

2651
02:10:35,400 --> 02:10:38,200
Speaker 1: would you know, break somebody's legs to get the amount

2652
02:10:38,240 --> 02:10:40,520
Speaker 1: of targets that Theeland gets. Let's get back to a

2653
02:10:40,560 --> 02:10:43,040
Speaker 1: couple of phone calls answering our question of the day.

2654
02:10:43,560 --> 02:10:46,120
Speaker 1: If Josh Allen is healthy, who did the Bills start

2655
02:10:46,440 --> 02:10:49,800
Speaker 1: on Sunday at Indianapolis. Let's go to Irving Buffalo. I IRV,

2656
02:10:49,840 --> 02:10:54,880
Speaker 1: you are on the air with us. Hey, all right, hi, yuh.

2657
02:10:55,240 --> 02:10:59,920
Speaker 1: We all know that's the special teams and the offense,

2658
02:11:00,520 --> 02:11:02,320
Speaker 1: lay the egg and go the game for the Bill.

2659
02:11:03,720 --> 02:11:09,000
Speaker 1: Everybody in the world old no that Peterman can't play

2660
02:11:09,120 --> 02:11:12,680
Speaker 1: quarterback except for our coach and being the general manager.

2661
02:11:13,040 --> 02:11:16,560
Speaker 1: Everybody knows this. Okay. With that being said, I'm not

2662
02:11:16,640 --> 02:11:20,440
Speaker 1: gonna let Leslie Fraser off the hook. When Peterman came

2663
02:11:20,520 --> 02:11:24,600
Speaker 1: in and threw that touchdown pass, it was all good.

2664
02:11:24,800 --> 02:11:27,160
Speaker 1: I thought we were gonna get a win. And the

2665
02:11:27,240 --> 02:11:32,880
Speaker 1: defense came out before the first half, I mean the

2666
02:11:32,960 --> 02:11:36,400
Speaker 1: second half. We came out. We were sending cornerbacks, we

2667
02:11:36,480 --> 02:11:39,280
Speaker 1: were sending linebackers, we were sending the safeties and all

2668
02:11:39,280 --> 02:11:41,760
Speaker 1: of a sudden, we'd wait to the last drive, and

2669
02:11:41,920 --> 02:11:44,920
Speaker 1: then he dropped seven and rush four. Now, I know

2670
02:11:45,040 --> 02:11:47,920
Speaker 1: the defense played a heck of a game, but I

2671
02:11:48,120 --> 02:11:53,720
Speaker 1: just can't understand why you're your defensive coordinator, take the break,

2672
02:11:53,880 --> 02:11:56,000
Speaker 1: take the chack, take us foot off the gas. That's

2673
02:11:56,000 --> 02:11:57,840
Speaker 1: where he did, and we should have kept wits, and

2674
02:11:57,920 --> 02:12:00,360
Speaker 1: I think we would have won that game. Yea so much.

2675
02:12:00,440 --> 02:12:01,680
Speaker 1: I'll tell you, I don't I don't know if I

2676
02:12:01,880 --> 02:12:03,840
Speaker 1: don't know if I would have. I didn't notice that

2677
02:12:03,920 --> 02:12:06,760
Speaker 1: what you notice about them rushing a different number of people.

2678
02:12:06,840 --> 02:12:08,680
Speaker 1: Certainly they do bring pressure once in a while. I

2679
02:12:08,760 --> 02:12:11,760
Speaker 1: didn't notice a huge game plan change. What I noticed

2680
02:12:11,840 --> 02:12:13,560
Speaker 1: was they got a forty one yard or forty two

2681
02:12:13,640 --> 02:12:16,120
Speaker 1: yard pass interference call on that drive that allowed the

2682
02:12:16,200 --> 02:12:18,400
Speaker 1: Texans to move down the field. And that was really

2683
02:12:18,440 --> 02:12:20,600
Speaker 1: the thing that changed it. It wasn't so much the

2684
02:12:20,680 --> 02:12:23,360
Speaker 1: rush patter, at least I didn't think it was a

2685
02:12:23,480 --> 02:12:25,960
Speaker 1: number of guys rushing and the fact that they changed

2686
02:12:26,000 --> 02:12:29,080
Speaker 1: something philosophically. In fact, I would I'd be shocked if

2687
02:12:29,120 --> 02:12:31,120
Speaker 1: that was the case. I think they got helped by

2688
02:12:31,160 --> 02:12:33,160
Speaker 1: a big time penalty. Now, Murph and I both say

2689
02:12:33,200 --> 02:12:35,640
Speaker 1: it was a good call, but I don't think it

2690
02:12:35,800 --> 02:12:41,520
Speaker 1: was any philosophical difference in defense calling from Leslie Frasier

2691
02:12:41,640 --> 02:12:45,080
Speaker 1: that made the difference. Now, and they don't. They don't.

2692
02:12:45,120 --> 02:12:47,720
Speaker 1: They're not a heavy blitz team anyway, you know, they

2693
02:12:47,840 --> 02:12:50,520
Speaker 1: just don't. They don't. They're one of the least likely

2694
02:12:50,600 --> 02:12:52,720
Speaker 1: teams in the league to blitz. Here's one more call

2695
02:12:52,800 --> 02:12:54,480
Speaker 1: from Doug and Amherst. Doug, go ahead, you're on the

2696
02:12:54,520 --> 02:12:59,560
Speaker 1: air with us. Oh Man. I think that Josh Allen

2697
02:13:00,160 --> 02:13:04,920
Speaker 1: is great, great quarterback to become. And I think that

2698
02:13:05,560 --> 02:13:11,040
Speaker 1: m de campisons if he's healthy, Josh, Johnsy Derek Anderson

2699
02:13:11,160 --> 02:13:16,960
Speaker 1: should start. But I think Steve, I mean McDermott and

2700
02:13:17,360 --> 02:13:22,400
Speaker 1: the general manager and the assocordinars sit down Allen and

2701
02:13:22,520 --> 02:13:25,120
Speaker 1: a couple of teammate captains and say, hey, you're our guy.

2702
02:13:25,880 --> 02:13:28,640
Speaker 1: We need you. Just have confidence, you're good, you're great,

2703
02:13:28,680 --> 02:13:30,920
Speaker 1: You're going to be great, and give a chance to

2704
02:13:31,000 --> 02:13:33,400
Speaker 1: heal properly and not rush him in there and trying

2705
02:13:33,440 --> 02:13:37,640
Speaker 1: to reinjure it. Yeah. Yeah, I think I agree with that. Dog.

2706
02:13:37,720 --> 02:13:39,120
Speaker 1: If he's not going to play, you got to make

2707
02:13:39,160 --> 02:13:41,520
Speaker 1: sure he knows he's doing it, because he's injury because

2708
02:13:41,600 --> 02:13:44,240
Speaker 1: and he's got to know that you've got faith in

2709
02:13:44,320 --> 02:13:47,560
Speaker 1: his future, um, and that you see how hard he's working,

2710
02:13:47,680 --> 02:13:50,240
Speaker 1: and that he's making some strides at least in practice.

2711
02:13:51,120 --> 02:13:52,240
Speaker 1: And it's going to be a little bit of a

2712
02:13:52,320 --> 02:13:54,280
Speaker 1: roller coaster. We are going to see some games like

2713
02:13:54,400 --> 02:13:56,840
Speaker 1: this one where and you know where it seemingly he

2714
02:13:56,920 --> 02:13:59,640
Speaker 1: took a step backwards instead of the stepped forwards. So

2715
02:14:00,080 --> 02:14:02,080
Speaker 1: got to be willing to live with that. The old

2716
02:14:02,160 --> 02:14:05,360
Speaker 1: saying is growing pains, you know, and it's painful. Yesterday

2717
02:14:05,400 --> 02:14:07,560
Speaker 1: it was pretty painful for everybody. That's a game that

2718
02:14:07,800 --> 02:14:11,320
Speaker 1: is it's hard to it's hard to live like that

2719
02:14:11,520 --> 02:14:12,920
Speaker 1: when you know it's a game you should have won.

2720
02:14:12,960 --> 02:14:14,680
Speaker 1: I think that's the bottom line of this one. Thanks
