1
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:35,200
Speaker 1: This One Bill's Live presented by Kalida Health.

2
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:38,160
Speaker 2: All right, we made it to Friday. Chris Brown, Steve

3
00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:40,320
Speaker 2: Pastor with you. One Bill's Live is the show. Glad

4
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 2: to have you with us as we are just about

5
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:47,560
Speaker 2: ready forty eight hours away from Bill's colts at Lucas

6
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:51,600
Speaker 2: Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana. Did I say that like

7
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 2: Keith Jackson a little bit Indianapolis. Yeah, And player availability

8
00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 2: at the receiver position is front and center right now,

9
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 2: and we might as well just jump right into this

10
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 2: because Bill's head coach Sean McDermott little over an hour

11
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:09,559
Speaker 2: ago declared wide receiver key On Coleman out for this game.

12
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:13,560
Speaker 2: He said the injury could keep him out multiple weeks,

13
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:16,279
Speaker 2: but they do not intend to put him on injured reserve,

14
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:19,760
Speaker 2: believing he could return sooner than the minimum four week

15
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 2: window of injured reserve. If you go on IR, you

16
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:25,120
Speaker 2: miss four weeks minimum.

17
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:25,480
Speaker 3: Right.

18
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 2: Meanwhile, Amari Cooper and Reggie Gilliam are practicing on a

19
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 2: limited basis again today. Both are going to be listed

20
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 2: as questionable for Sunday's game in Indy. Steve the prospect

21
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:45,399
Speaker 2: of the Bill's receiving corps without Coleman and Cooper. Potentially

22
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 2: maybe Samuel comes back, although he's not a lock either,

23
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 2: so you're probably talking Samuel Shakir. I mean Hollins, Hollins

24
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 2: and then Kincaid knocks and probably a practice squad elevation.

25
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 2: Presumably Shavers because you need some size if you don't

26
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 2: have Coleman or a Cooper.

27
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 4: These Shavers could be Virgil as well. He's been up

28
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 4: the last couple weeks, although he hasn't had a target.

29
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 4: This does change. What this really does change because you

30
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:17,920
Speaker 4: feel like you've got enough guys to win with Cook, Kincaid,

31
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 4: Knox and Shakir, for sure, you feel like you got

32
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 4: enough guys to move the football. But it does change

33
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,640
Speaker 4: your personnel package is put on the field. Everything that

34
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 4: Cooper and Coleman do well they got, they're gone, and

35
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:35,640
Speaker 4: now you've got different guys in there. They're gonna be

36
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:38,920
Speaker 4: doing what they do well, so you're gonna it changes

37
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 4: things for this offense, there's no doubt about it. And

38
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 4: you're gonna have to beat the Indianapolis Colt, so you

39
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 4: gotta find a way to beat them left handed offensively.

40
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 2: I will once again propose something I've proposed before. In

41
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 2: the wake of short handedness at the receiver position. Can

42
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:58,919
Speaker 2: we put James Cook on the field with Ray Davis

43
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 2: simultaneously incorporate Cook into the passing game a bit more,

44
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 2: knowing he is, especially without Coleman on the field, the

45
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 2: most dynamic athlete at any of the skill positions on offense.

46
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, he's got use of it. He's gonna

47
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 4: be out there one way or the other. And I

48
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 4: think if you go out there with twenty two personnel

49
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 4: or twenty one personnel, even that gives you a chance

50
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 4: to motion him out of the backfield. You get him

51
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 4: out there, and you put Davis and Cook in there together,

52
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 4: and you can motion Cook out of the backfield and

53
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 4: then split him out as a wide out. The defense

54
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 4: will have to make some decisions. You'll find out what

55
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 4: they're gonna do. It's a possibility. We haven't seen it.

56
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 2: We have not seen it much. But desperate times call

57
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 2: for desperate measures. You have Coleman, and if Cooper's out too,

58
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 2: I think you have to make Cook part of your passing.

59
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 4: The concerns with doing this, and I know you've got

60
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 4: to have some stuff in the You gotta have some

61
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 4: stuff in the hopper from training camp that you put

62
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 4: in the problem with doing this is that it's hard

63
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 4: to be prefer efficient at that, you know, as an offense,

64
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 4: when you haven't been running it, it's hard to get

65
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 4: good at it. And it's hard to have a big

66
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 4: enough package. Now, if you make the package big enough,

67
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 4: and what happens if you know, one of the deep

68
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:16,160
Speaker 4: one of the running backs tweaks. Now you don't have

69
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:18,920
Speaker 4: that entire part of your offenses off the table. And

70
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 4: that's going to be really true the wide receiver room.

71
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 4: But you always want to have enough guys to cover. Now,

72
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 4: Tyd Johnson could come in and they could do it,

73
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 4: but you know that changes it. But yeah, I think

74
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:32,360
Speaker 4: he's gonna change.

75
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 2: You have to at least consider that.

76
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:39,040
Speaker 4: I agree Cook Cook is I need Cook on the field.

77
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:42,480
Speaker 2: He's a dynamic athlete. He gets separation in the passing game.

78
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 2: I mean, you're down two of your top three receivers.

79
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 2: Potentially you're down one of them. You may be down

80
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:55,720
Speaker 2: two of them, like you gotta use Cook, use him

81
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 2: in the passing game. I know he dropped the pass

82
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:00,599
Speaker 2: last week and he's had a history that every once

83
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 2: in a while, but I'd utilize him to get mismatches

84
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 2: him on a linebacker is a win. Him on any

85
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 2: safety that Indy has right now is a win. So right,

86
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 2: give me some of that on Sunday.

87
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 4: You could see it pretty easily. You can get him

88
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 4: get to that conclusion. And I'm they gotta do. They're

89
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:24,840
Speaker 4: gonna have to do something. They got two of their

90
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:27,919
Speaker 4: top wide receivers often you know, what are they? Number

91
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 4: two and number three on their receiving chart behind Shakir

92
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 4: both sitting down. I'm you know that's I don't know,

93
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:40,839
Speaker 4: that's it's you got to start thinking about what they're

94
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:43,719
Speaker 4: how they're going to look offensively without those guys on

95
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:45,039
Speaker 4: the not even in the lineup.

96
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 2: You got to think outside the box a little bit.

97
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:50,159
Speaker 2: That's why I think cook should be you know, you'll

98
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 2: you want to line them up in the backfield at

99
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:54,360
Speaker 2: the start motion them late burst motion, or you want

100
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 2: to motion them out to the line, line them up out. Why,

101
00:05:57,480 --> 00:05:59,359
Speaker 2: whatever you want to do, he's got to be a

102
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 2: part of it. I mean, I'll say this too good

103
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 2: an athlete to not utilize here.

104
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:04,839
Speaker 4: You got I mean, in large measure, I think the

105
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 4: coaching staff of the Bills deserves huge props for getting

106
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:11,600
Speaker 4: this team to seven and two when their offense is

107
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 4: ranked you know, sixteenth in total yards, you know, nineteenth

108
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:23,359
Speaker 4: and or not seventeenth in rushing yards of game, sixteenth

109
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 4: and passing yards a game. You know. I mean, they're

110
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 4: just they're just not I mean, they're scoring points, they

111
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:38,159
Speaker 4: are doing that, but they're finding ways to win games.

112
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:42,040
Speaker 4: The Miami Dolphins played extremely well on offense last week,

113
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,480
Speaker 4: and they scored twenty seven points and they coughed one up.

114
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,599
Speaker 4: I had a ninety seven yard drive to go against

115
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:51,160
Speaker 4: you know, go for him. Now, their defense didn't hold up.

116
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 4: The Bills turned it over right on the goal line,

117
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:58,480
Speaker 4: and you know all the other stuff that went with it.

118
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:03,160
Speaker 4: But this team is finding ways to win. They're gonna

119
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 4: have to do it in a huge way this week

120
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 4: without those two guys at their skill positions.

121
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 2: There is one other Bills note that we have to

122
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 2: make mention of. After we were off the air yesterday,

123
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 2: they released defensive tackle Zion Log. So once again there

124
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 2: is an open roster spot on the fifty three man roster,

125
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 2: and it appears that Jordan Phillips will be back in

126
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 2: jersey number ninety seven. At practice yesterday he was number

127
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:32,239
Speaker 2: ninety three, but after Logue, who was wearing ninety seven,

128
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 2: was released, it appears Phillips got ninety seven back For Sunday.

129
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 4: Browny was better because he had to change his spotter

130
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 4: boards to reprint every had to reprint everything trying to

131
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 4: be accurate.

132
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 2: Here and here's what are the fast ones.

133
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 4: On the well see, here's what you're looking at this week,

134
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:51,239
Speaker 4: though you get these guys in there. Every single game

135
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 4: for the Indianapolis Colts this season has been a one

136
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 4: score game. They're four and five, but every single game

137
00:07:57,200 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 4: is a one score game. They are teams have not

138
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 4: been able to run off and leave him on the scoreboard.

139
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 4: And as bad as it looks offensively for them at times,

140
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 4: their front, defensive front and their defensive secondary, they just

141
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 4: made enough place to stay close. So you're you're, you know,

142
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 4: if you're looking for this game for the Bills to

143
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 4: walk in there and finally, you know, blow somebody out

144
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:22,760
Speaker 4: on a road game. This may not be the week,

145
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 4: as you know, losing record aside for the Colts, it's

146
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:30,240
Speaker 4: gonna be It's probably gonna be a tight one, especially

147
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:32,080
Speaker 4: with the injuries of the Bills. Gilpuls I mean and

148
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 4: even more so, I mean this is this turns into

149
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 4: a you know, a nail bier. Yeah.

150
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:45,319
Speaker 2: So those are your bills. Practice updates presented by Lee

151
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 2: Coom your Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine. Uh, there

152
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:55,439
Speaker 2: is news out of Indy where we were wondering about

153
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 2: the status of one Michael Pittman who's been dealing with

154
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:01,599
Speaker 2: a back injury for weeks and then had a dislocated

155
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:05,679
Speaker 2: finger last week, and head coach Shane Steichen has ruled

156
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 2: Michael Pittman, Junior, out at the receiver spot for the

157
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 2: Colts on Sunday. Meanwhile, Bernhard Ryman, their starting left tackle,

158
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 2: has cleared concussion protocol, so he is expected to start

159
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 2: at left tackle. So that's kind of where it stands there.

160
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 2: So the Colts themselves will be down one of their receivers,

161
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 2: and truthfully, he's been relatively ineffective the last several weeks

162
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 2: trying to play through this back injury, so it looks

163
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 2: like they're going to shut him down this week, which

164
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:41,080
Speaker 2: means the burden of the passing game now falls on

165
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 2: Josh Downs, who is the team's leader in catches anyway,

166
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:47,680
Speaker 2: works out of the slot and then they'll have Alec

167
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 2: Pierce out on the outside, along with a few others.

168
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 4: So Aden, I'm Mitchell, Ashton Condolt, and they got some guys,

169
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:58,720
Speaker 4: but they're that's the top of their food chain right there.

170
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:03,040
Speaker 4: That hurts him, even though he's been ineffective. I mean,

171
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:04,840
Speaker 4: that's that's going to change the way the Bills are

172
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 4: able to play against all the rest of these guys

173
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:08,320
Speaker 4: when Pittman's not in the lineup.

174
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,679
Speaker 2: So that's a loss for them, not that he was

175
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 2: terribly effective. And it's also trending towards Christian Benford being

176
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 2: back in the lineup. He's been a full participant in

177
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:20,080
Speaker 2: the last couple of days, so that'll be a welcome

178
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 2: return on the back end.

179
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 4: The Colts, did they not put Ryan Kelly, their starting center,

180
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 4: on injured reserve? Yeah, that was earlier this week and

181
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 4: that so there's that helps that helps the Bills as well.

182
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 4: That's a key spot on your offensive line.

183
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 2: They're starting a rookie there. It's Hannah Bordalini. He started

184
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 2: in week four and week five for Kelly when he

185
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:44,680
Speaker 2: initially injured his knee, and by all accounts, played quite well.

186
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 2: So we'll see if he can duplicate that and you

187
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 2: know see where it goes. But hopefully at Oliver and

188
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 2: Dai Kwon Jones can perhaps take advantage of that matchup

189
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 2: at some point. And I would say, if I was

190
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:05,320
Speaker 2: laying odds, I would say there's a decent chance that

191
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:08,200
Speaker 2: both Quentin Jefferson and Jordan Phillips are up on Sunday,

192
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 2: as long as they demonstrated the proper fitness level and

193
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 2: game readiness. That's more Phillips than Jefferson. Jefferson has been

194
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 2: practicing with the Browns, he just wasn't playing in games. Phillips, however,

195
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 2: was on injured reserve, which is a little different you're

196
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:27,640
Speaker 2: not practicing with your team. So I would anticipate though,

197
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:30,840
Speaker 2: that both of those guys are up, and in knowing

198
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:33,080
Speaker 2: how heavy they rotate players on the defense.

199
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:35,599
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean it'd be pretty hard for them, particularly

200
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 4: even if he was on IRI. He had to he

201
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 4: was working out and stay and fit. And if you're

202
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 4: only going to take two or three snaps at a

203
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:46,320
Speaker 4: shot and then or rotate out as quick as you can,

204
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 4: that you'll be fine. Those guys will be fine. The

205
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 4: more important thing is to know they've got to make

206
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:55,199
Speaker 4: sure of the gap integrity. When they make a call,

207
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:56,720
Speaker 4: they've got to be in the right spot in the

208
00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 4: run game, and sometimes that's difficult to do when you

209
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,440
Speaker 4: come over from a you know, from another team and

210
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 4: you know exactly sure how they run your defense. Both

211
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:07,839
Speaker 4: it's the second stint, actually second and third stint for

212
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 4: these guys back with Buffalo. So we'll see they should

213
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:15,080
Speaker 4: there should be a little bit left in the knowledge

214
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:19,320
Speaker 4: bin for them to pick it back up. But yeah,

215
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:23,240
Speaker 4: they're listen. It's more about their physicality than it is

216
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:26,559
Speaker 4: the the brain at this point. They need, they need,

217
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 4: they need some fit bodies in there.

218
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:32,680
Speaker 2: Let's go around the NFL, which is presented by Kalida Healthy,

219
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:35,840
Speaker 2: official healthcare system of the Buffalo Bills. It looks like

220
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:39,080
Speaker 2: Mac Jones is going to be the starting quarterback for

221
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:42,199
Speaker 2: Jacksonville this weekend in their game against the Vikings. Trevor

222
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:45,560
Speaker 2: Lawrence being shut down for this week with a shoulder injury.

223
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 2: So Mac Jones, the former first round pick of the

224
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 2: New England Patriots, is going to start for Jacksonville this weekend.

225
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:57,720
Speaker 2: That's a tough draw. Get the Vikings defense, yesh.

226
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, Trevor Lawrence, it was his left shoulder that he hurt.

227
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 4: But it's you know, what do you get Mac? At

228
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 4: least this is you know, you get a guy like

229
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 4: mac Jones. Certainly he's not an athlete, although he's got

230
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:17,320
Speaker 4: some abilities. He's now a veteran guy. This should not

231
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:19,800
Speaker 4: be too big a moment for him. Minnesota or not

232
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 4: or not. It'll be interesting, you know. And I'm let

233
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 4: me check real real quick. That game is in Jacksonville,

234
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:34,720
Speaker 4: so it'll be a home game. That helps. Yeah, I'll

235
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:36,360
Speaker 4: say this, you could do a lot worse in this

236
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:38,959
Speaker 4: just plugging him in than mac Jones, particularly since it's

237
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:40,640
Speaker 4: like week ten of the season, so he's in there,

238
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:42,880
Speaker 4: he's in meeting, he knows this offense. Yeah, he'll know

239
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 4: where to go with the football. You could do a

240
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:46,280
Speaker 4: lot worse than mac Jones. I'm not saying he's gonna

241
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 4: come in and light him up, because Trevor Lawrence wasn't

242
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:51,680
Speaker 4: lighting it up, and no, Mac Jones ain't no Trevor Lawrence.

243
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 4: But you could do worse.

244
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 2: I think Christian McCaffrey will be back in the lineup

245
00:13:57,280 --> 00:13:59,120
Speaker 2: for the forty nine ers on Sunday for the first

246
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 2: time this season. He returns from Achilles tendonitis in both legs.

247
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 2: The Niners play Tampa this week. The Ravens hung on

248
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 2: to beat the Bengals thirty five to thirty four as

249
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:10,839
Speaker 2: a two point conversion attempt for Cincinnati fails with under

250
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 2: a minute left to win the game. Ravens now seven

251
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:16,400
Speaker 2: and three, while the Bengals fall to four and six

252
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 2: on the season. It was a back and forth game.

253
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:24,160
Speaker 2: Jamar Chase went off and three touchdowns still wasn't enough,

254
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:27,720
Speaker 2: as the Bengals slow starts may finally come back to

255
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:29,200
Speaker 2: bite them.

256
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:32,520
Speaker 4: So two hundred and sixty four yards and three touchdowns

257
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:34,200
Speaker 4: Jamar Chase had.

258
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 2: If you're playing against him in fantasy football, you've already lost.

259
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 4: Good luck this game. Both The season series between the

260
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 4: Baltimore Ravens and the Cincinnati Bengals was an absolute thing

261
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 4: of beauty. Both games. The first one was overtime. This

262
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 4: one last night was a last minute two point conversion

263
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:59,520
Speaker 4: attempt that fell short as time ran out. It was

264
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 4: an absolute heavyweight bout. Two really good offenses against some

265
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 4: defenses at struggle and everybody showed up. I mean, Jamar

266
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 4: Chase was off the chain last night. He was phenomenal.

267
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:18,920
Speaker 4: Two hundred and sixty four yards receiving in three touchdowns.

268
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:22,720
Speaker 4: Just last night. He had almost five hundred yards of

269
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 4: receiving just against the Colts this year. I'm at the Colts,

270
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 4: the Ravens this year. Unbelievable game. The teams in their

271
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:42,560
Speaker 4: series combined for nine fourth quarter touchdowns in these two games.

272
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 4: Nine in two games between the two players Lamar and

273
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 4: Joe Burrow. Unbelievable. And that game last night was every

274
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 4: bit of it, every bit of it.

275
00:15:55,600 --> 00:16:00,440
Speaker 2: The Texans have designated wide receiver Nico Collins to return

276
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 2: from a hamstring injury that landed him on injured reserve

277
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:06,440
Speaker 2: after he was hurting the Week five game against the Bills.

278
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 2: Was practicing today for Houston. We'll see if he's active

279
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:12,360
Speaker 2: for the Texans game against the Lions on Sunday night.

280
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:14,800
Speaker 2: You got to believe they want all the ammunition they

281
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 2: can get for the high flying Lions, who have been

282
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 2: putting points up on the board like it's a rolodex.

283
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, if he was on injured reserve, I'm sure he's

284
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 4: back pretty sharp right now. A month off with a hamstring.

285
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 4: It had to be incredibly bad not to be back

286
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 4: to one hundred percent. He's probably been running full speed

287
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:39,480
Speaker 4: for a week and a half two weeks now, so yeah,

288
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:42,360
Speaker 4: you can expect Collins to come back and get back

289
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:43,360
Speaker 4: into it in a big way.

290
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 2: I mean that Texans offense has been playing without Digs

291
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:49,320
Speaker 2: and Collins their top two receivers for the better part

292
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 2: of the last three weeks. They'll be more than happy

293
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 2: to get Collins back to pair with Tank Dell and

294
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:58,280
Speaker 2: the others, so we'll see if it makes a difference

295
00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 2: in their point production. Commander's new cornerback, Marshawn Lattimore for

296
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 2: whom they traded and acquired from New Orleans, is not

297
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:09,600
Speaker 2: going to play against the Steelers this weekend due to

298
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:12,719
Speaker 2: a hamstring injury, so they have a cover corner they

299
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:16,399
Speaker 2: just can't use him, and the Steelers will have some

300
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 2: new players of their own, both on offense and defense,

301
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:22,359
Speaker 2: traded for Mike Williams. Also traded for Preston Smith, so

302
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:24,520
Speaker 2: they got an extra pass rusher and an extra receiver,

303
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 2: so that'll be an interesting game. But Latimore are not

304
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:32,720
Speaker 2: going to play due to the hamstring injury. And on

305
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 2: this date, November eighth, nineteen eighty six, the Buffalo Bills

306
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:41,480
Speaker 2: claimed Steve Tasker off waivers from the Houston Oilers.

307
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:44,320
Speaker 4: Thirty eight years and I'm still banging around this building.

308
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 4: Somebody's asleep at the wheel. Where's our Quality's our quality control?

309
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:52,960
Speaker 2: So that is around.

324
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:33,120
Speaker 2: But let's go to the phones and leading us off

325
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:36,399
Speaker 2: today is Judy in Buffalo. What's up, Judy?

326
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:40,080
Speaker 5: Well, you know how I feel about this game. This

327
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:45,119
Speaker 5: is must win game. But beyond that, you know, the

328
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:49,439
Speaker 5: Bills have to rely on two people check here and

329
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 5: Ray Davis. Don't don't even mentioned James Cook. I think

330
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:59,119
Speaker 5: Ray Davis is turned out to be one of the

331
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:06,439
Speaker 5: under appreciate it built on this team, all right, but

332
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 5: it blows my mind that all this time you have

333
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:16,119
Speaker 5: the best quarterback in the league and we cannot get

334
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 5: a deep threats for our life depended on us. What

335
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:21,560
Speaker 5: is going on?

336
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:26,480
Speaker 2: All right? Well, Judy, I'll tell you. I think Keon

337
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:30,119
Speaker 2: Coleman's done a decent job of being a big play threat.

338
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:34,160
Speaker 2: He's averaging nineteen yards of reception, which leads the team. Now,

339
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:36,400
Speaker 2: he's not going to be part of the equation this weekend,

340
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 2: but I think he's demonstrated an ability and is growing

341
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:42,600
Speaker 2: into that role. We'll see if it continues once he's

342
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:46,920
Speaker 2: healthy again. And Amari Cooper was supposed to be of

343
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 2: help for some downfield plays and he missed last week's

344
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,120
Speaker 2: game with a wrist injury and he's questionable this week.

345
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:56,360
Speaker 2: So I think some of the primary players they had

346
00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:59,639
Speaker 2: in mind for a role like that have been compromised

347
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:01,680
Speaker 2: by injury. So it's bad timing.

348
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:05,119
Speaker 4: But yeah, Coleman and all those stays too. They worked Coleman,

349
00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:08,160
Speaker 4: I believe into the offense a little bit judiciously early

350
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:09,880
Speaker 4: on in the season. Now we're week ten and heat,

351
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:13,800
Speaker 4: and you know now that he's they're using him exactly

352
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:16,160
Speaker 4: like you're describing, except now he's not going to sit

353
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:18,600
Speaker 4: down for a week. But even the play he got

354
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 4: hurt on last week was a deep shot down the field.

355
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:24,960
Speaker 4: So I think what you're talking about is, and I

356
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 4: get what you're saying, you want the ball to be

357
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 4: in the air a long time on these pass routes,

358
00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:33,320
Speaker 4: and it's not about run after catch, and I get

359
00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 4: it's a different kind of looking offense this year. I

360
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:40,080
Speaker 4: think this offensive philosophy this year has changed. I really

361
00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:43,239
Speaker 4: believe they're looking to shorten most of these games. They

362
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:45,840
Speaker 4: know they've got a quarterback that is incredibly efficient when

363
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:49,000
Speaker 4: he gets in the red zone. Up until this year,

364
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:51,680
Speaker 4: they had every reason, just up until the way it's gone,

365
00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:54,280
Speaker 4: they've had every reason to expect that this team was

366
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 4: going to be really tough on third down, stay on

367
00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 4: the field so that they could be efficient, score at

368
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:01,679
Speaker 4: the end of their drives, and just out distance their

369
00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:04,720
Speaker 4: opponents over four quarters, particularly when they ran the ball

370
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 4: as effectively as they do and shorten the possessions. It

371
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:12,600
Speaker 4: worked exactly like that against Miami, it worked exactly like

372
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:17,080
Speaker 4: that against all the bunch of opponents. They've scored thirty

373
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:19,280
Speaker 4: points in six of their nine games. They lead the

374
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:22,880
Speaker 4: league in that category. So this is you know when

375
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:25,720
Speaker 4: I said a minute ago, they're kind of figuring out

376
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:27,560
Speaker 4: ways to win. This is that's what they're talking That's

377
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 4: what we're talking about. They're choosing their spots and the

378
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:37,359
Speaker 4: plays and the way this offense looks. I think most

379
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:40,480
Speaker 4: of it, I think in large measure, it's exactly. It's

380
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 4: a choice they're making to look like this. It's a choice.

381
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:49,080
Speaker 4: They want Yaki, they want run after catch, you know,

382
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:53,080
Speaker 4: they want yards after catch, they want a more you know,

383
00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:55,560
Speaker 4: they want Josh complete in seventy percent of his throws

384
00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:57,560
Speaker 4: like he has a few times this year.

385
00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:00,160
Speaker 2: They believe it makes them more efficient as an offense.

386
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:02,040
Speaker 4: Makes them more effishent as an offense, and it helps

387
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:03,880
Speaker 4: the other side of the ball, where they got nine

388
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:05,800
Speaker 4: new guys and they got two guys there. You know,

389
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:08,800
Speaker 4: you got Milano out, they got Benford's been out, and

390
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:13,359
Speaker 4: it has helped them weather the storm of injuries and

391
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:16,520
Speaker 4: suspensions and all of that stuff. So they're making some

392
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:21,920
Speaker 4: pretty foundational choices I think in the coach's office and

393
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:24,120
Speaker 4: as a staff, to say, we got to play this

394
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:28,919
Speaker 4: way and maximize the guys. We've gotten what we do well,

395
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:30,920
Speaker 4: at least what we know we do well right now.

396
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:35,919
Speaker 4: And I think there's nothing about seven and two that

397
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:37,200
Speaker 4: says they're doing it wrong.

398
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:41,040
Speaker 2: And they're not all and all the wins aren't going

399
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:44,159
Speaker 2: to be pretty airtight performances.

400
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:45,359
Speaker 4: No, I mean they're gonna be a lot of them

401
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:48,199
Speaker 4: like Miami was this week, especially against good teams.

402
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:50,160
Speaker 2: Just win, baby, just win.

403
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:51,040
Speaker 6: Uh.

404
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:53,360
Speaker 2: Let's go to Jim in Indianapolis next.

405
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:58,879
Speaker 3: What's up, Jim, Hey, Chris, Steve. Right to see you, guys.

411
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:15,879
Speaker 4: Wow.

Speaker 3: I sit in the club levels two thirty. You ever

Speaker 4: I promise you if we bump into each other, I promise,

415
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:27,760
Speaker 4: if you want me to, I will sign your jersey.

416
00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:29,000
Speaker 4: Absolutely more than happy.

Speaker 3: I'm more than happy about it.

418
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:32,920
Speaker 4: I have a lifetime supply of signatures.

419
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:39,320
Speaker 3: Beautiful, beautiful. Yeah, we're here in Indy, my buddy Mark,

420
00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:42,560
Speaker 3: who has had my tickets with us since eighty eight,

421
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:45,840
Speaker 3: with our wives, and we're here for the game. Really

422
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:49,879
Speaker 3: enjoying this so far. But here's here's my question. We

423
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:51,840
Speaker 3: were watching the we're at the Miami game, and I

424
00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:56,080
Speaker 3: was watching the Miami game after it was over and done,

425
00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:59,639
Speaker 3: and at the two minute morning at two seventeen, a

426
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:02,119
Speaker 3: lot of goloes out with an injury, so take an

427
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:06,639
Speaker 3: injury timeout, and they stopped the clock, and obviously they

428
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 3: went back and then they started the clock. They went

429
00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:14,240
Speaker 3: to the two minute warning and timeout didn't run a play.

430
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:18,359
Speaker 3: The next play after the two minute warning, Wattle was

431
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:22,679
Speaker 3: back in the lineup. I thought, once you're injured, you

432
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 3: have to set out a play.

433
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:27,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, you do, unless there was a timeout taken, or

434
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 4: the two minute warning counts as a timeout.

435
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:32,320
Speaker 3: So the two minute warning does count the timeout. I

436
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:33,920
Speaker 3: thought that you have to take a time out.

437
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:37,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, And the official actually and the official too.

438
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:40,879
Speaker 2: After Wattle went to the sidelines, they stopped play for

439
00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:44,320
Speaker 2: an injury timeout, which was for Wattle, and then they

440
00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:46,840
Speaker 2: started the clock again after they left and everybody was

441
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:49,880
Speaker 2: lined up again, and then Miami chose not to run

442
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:53,240
Speaker 2: a play. They chose to run it down to two minutes,

443
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:55,679
Speaker 2: and then that's the stoppage and then he can come in.

444
00:24:55,880 --> 00:25:00,679
Speaker 4: That's that's the next stop. Okay, because it doesn't have

445
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:02,880
Speaker 4: to be a time out, it has to be a stoppage.

446
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:06,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, because I do remember back. All I remember

447
00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:09,440
Speaker 3: is the last time I saw there was a game

448
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:11,880
Speaker 3: and I think jose Eisman was pulled out for an injury.

449
00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:14,320
Speaker 3: He went out, they stopped, the clock came and then

450
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:16,480
Speaker 3: he came back in for the next play for some reason,

451
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:18,199
Speaker 3: and he got a penalty. And I was like, well,

452
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:21,480
Speaker 3: wait a minute, why did that not happen to Miami? Okay,

453
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:25,160
Speaker 3: well you guys, you guys 'd me straight there? Okay,

454
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 3: all right, hey, thanks, I love your show. You guys

455
00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:31,320
Speaker 3: are great. And like I said, Steve, look, I'll be

456
00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:31,800
Speaker 3: looking for you.

457
00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:38,320
Speaker 2: Thanks there be loud. Let's go to Bert in Lockport next.

458
00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:38,960
Speaker 2: What's up Bert?

459
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 6: Hi, guys?

460
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:45,080
Speaker 7: Hey, My question is when are the Bills ever gonna

461
00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 7: wear their throwback uniforms again.

462
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:49,000
Speaker 4: Yeah.

463
00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:53,199
Speaker 2: I don't anticipate that happening this season because they didn't.

464
00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:55,679
Speaker 2: I'm trying to remember. I don't think it's on the

465
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:58,880
Speaker 2: schedule this year, so I'm not anticipating.

466
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:01,720
Speaker 4: That's a good call, don't I don't know. I don't know.

467
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:04,040
Speaker 2: That's usually have to put in a year in advance

468
00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:09,199
Speaker 2: to the league notice that you're going to utilize a

469
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:12,879
Speaker 2: throwback uniform of some kind. To my knowledge, they didn't

470
00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:15,399
Speaker 2: do that last year. I haven't heard anything about them

471
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:18,280
Speaker 2: putting in this year for next year. Here's just a

472
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:19,120
Speaker 2: theory of mine.

473
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:19,440
Speaker 4: Bert.

474
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 2: My theory is they're waiting to do some of those

475
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:26,240
Speaker 2: extra things when they're in the new place across the street.

476
00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:28,280
Speaker 4: It's just a I might do. They might do a

477
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:31,240
Speaker 4: throwback jersey when they like on the final game in

478
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 4: high Mark, you know what I mean, that's a good point.

479
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:35,800
Speaker 4: They might do that. Some of that might be going

480
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:37,520
Speaker 4: on as well, because they're starting you already got to

481
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:40,359
Speaker 4: I mean, let's face it, folks, you're posturing for the

482
00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:41,920
Speaker 4: final season in high Mark.

483
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:43,880
Speaker 2: Old time Mark.

484
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:48,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, the old the old stadium, So Yeah, there might

485
00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:50,439
Speaker 4: be might be some of that going on, some future

486
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:55,480
Speaker 4: planning and some some ramping up for that. So but

487
00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:57,919
Speaker 4: I don't know, we haven't. I haven't heard conversations about it.

488
00:26:57,960 --> 00:26:59,920
Speaker 4: I'm just it's a conjecture on my part.

489
00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:03,600
Speaker 2: We're going to Mike on a cell phone next. What's

490
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:04,040
Speaker 2: up Mike?

491
00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:08,359
Speaker 8: Hey, guys, I want to talk a little bit about

492
00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:14,240
Speaker 8: Joe Brady and his evolvement. You know, I look at

493
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:17,520
Speaker 8: halftime of the Tennessee game. The two and a half

494
00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:21,560
Speaker 8: games before that, he had run the ball on first

495
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:26,840
Speaker 8: down over seventy percent of the time. After halftime of

496
00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:30,240
Speaker 8: the Titans game, everything changed. It's like he had an epiphany,

497
00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:32,920
Speaker 8: and right now he's running the ball about forty percent

498
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:35,840
Speaker 8: of the time on first down. And what I think

499
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:41,200
Speaker 8: that has done is is it's allowed defenses. It's prevented

500
00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:44,880
Speaker 8: defenses from having him be so predictable that on first down.

501
00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:49,640
Speaker 8: And we went through nineteen nineteen out of twenty four

502
00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:55,280
Speaker 8: first down runs in the Houston game. And by changing

503
00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:59,360
Speaker 8: up the way that he has done our first down

504
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:02,280
Speaker 8: runs now well, I mean last game on first down

505
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:05,040
Speaker 8: only twice when we ran the ball. Were we in

506
00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:09,960
Speaker 8: second and long twice, whereas in that Houston game, we're

507
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:13,920
Speaker 8: in second and long fourteen times after running the ball

508
00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:17,040
Speaker 8: on first down and those types of things. I look

509
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:21,080
Speaker 8: at and it's just like he's really changed his And

510
00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:23,600
Speaker 8: I was very you know, I had a lot of

511
00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:26,640
Speaker 8: not good things to say about him earlier in the year,

512
00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:30,000
Speaker 8: but I really think he's become less predictable. He's become

513
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:35,320
Speaker 8: a much better play caller. And you look at the results.

514
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:39,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, and as Steve said already, they've scored thirty points

515
00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:42,400
Speaker 2: six times in their first nine games. That's the most

516
00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:43,200
Speaker 2: in the NFL.

517
00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:46,600
Speaker 4: And I'll say this too, I would hesitate to say

518
00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:49,640
Speaker 4: that they've got this big, overarching plan that says, well,

519
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:51,800
Speaker 4: like this week, we're going to do it. What it

520
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:54,560
Speaker 4: is and why it has worked out the way it has.

521
00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:56,160
Speaker 4: I mean, let's face it, you never know what you're

522
00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:58,000
Speaker 4: going to get any schedules. You have the schedule for

523
00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:00,920
Speaker 4: six months. But the Bills are six this year against

524
00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:03,440
Speaker 4: teams that are below five hundred. They're one and two

525
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:07,440
Speaker 4: against teams that now have winning records. The one they

526
00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:10,120
Speaker 4: won was the Arizona Cardinals, who have a winning record

527
00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:12,680
Speaker 4: right now, and that was in Week one. They lost

528
00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:14,920
Speaker 4: to Baltimore, and they lost to Houston. As we know

529
00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:18,120
Speaker 4: everybody else, they played their six and six and zero

530
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:21,240
Speaker 4: against teams. All these teams, nobody's winning on their schedule,

531
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:23,040
Speaker 4: so you never know how it's going to be. What

532
00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:25,600
Speaker 4: what I'm saying is and the reason I'm saying that

533
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:32,800
Speaker 4: is this, they're not looking back at their last five

534
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:36,240
Speaker 4: games and saying they do that. They look back at

535
00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:37,920
Speaker 4: their last five games, they get their stats, and they

536
00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:42,760
Speaker 4: know what they're doing, but then they transpose that onto

537
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:46,520
Speaker 4: the next team. This in this case it's Indianapolis. Now

538
00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:50,240
Speaker 4: they may they may run it every single first down

539
00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:53,720
Speaker 4: against Indianapolis depending on what they see on the film,

540
00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:57,400
Speaker 4: or they may and and what Indianapolis they think Indianapolis

541
00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:02,480
Speaker 4: sees in them. The absence to Cooper, the absence of

542
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:08,560
Speaker 4: Coleman Cooper maybe will change how they think Indianapolis is

543
00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:12,480
Speaker 4: gonna perceive them. All that stuff goes in the mix. So, yes,

544
00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:15,040
Speaker 4: they have changed from running it on first down so

545
00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:17,080
Speaker 4: much in the last few games, but I think it's

546
00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:19,720
Speaker 4: more about the matchup of the teams they're facing than

547
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:21,840
Speaker 4: it does. They're like saying, they know we're gonna run

548
00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:24,320
Speaker 4: on first down listen, if you can run it on

549
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:31,000
Speaker 4: first down, you said, Houston Texans, they had short yardage

550
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:33,800
Speaker 4: on like fourteen first downs that they ran it on.

551
00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:37,400
Speaker 4: They had second and long. That means they had a

552
00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:41,120
Speaker 4: ton of first downs in that game, a ton of them.

553
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:44,120
Speaker 4: They were moving the football. So whatever they were doing,

554
00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:48,280
Speaker 4: nobody's complaining about it. Yes, sometimes that you get, you

555
00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:51,640
Speaker 4: get you think they're predictable. I don't care if the

556
00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:54,680
Speaker 4: Indianapolis Colts know what our next play is gonna be,

557
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:56,959
Speaker 4: if we're gonna run the football, if they give up

558
00:30:57,000 --> 00:30:59,600
Speaker 4: seven yards, I don't care. If they know it's coming,

559
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:02,000
Speaker 4: we're gonna get seven yards where they're you know it,

560
00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:03,760
Speaker 4: I know it, and they know it.

561
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:07,760
Speaker 2: Right, that's the key. But the caller is right. The

562
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:12,040
Speaker 2: percentage has come down. Going into that Titans game, they

563
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:16,960
Speaker 2: were sixty five percent run on first and ten. Now

564
00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:21,880
Speaker 2: three weeks later, they are fifty eight percent run on

565
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:24,440
Speaker 2: first and ten. It's almost fifty nine percent. It's like

566
00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:27,520
Speaker 2: fifty eight point seven percent, and they're not doing bad.

567
00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:31,160
Speaker 2: I mean, I know people get frustrated when they see run, run, pass,

568
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:34,239
Speaker 2: But on first and ten this season, the Bills are

569
00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:37,160
Speaker 2: averaging four point eight four yards per carry. That's a

570
00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:40,720
Speaker 2: good first down play, it's not a bad one. And

571
00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:43,680
Speaker 2: could you get more throwing the ball? Probably, but four

572
00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:46,160
Speaker 2: point eight four per carry you set you up for

573
00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:46,960
Speaker 2: second and five.

574
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:51,880
Speaker 4: Yeah you get more now? Yeah? Right, So yes, I agree.

575
00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:54,880
Speaker 4: Nobody wants their offense to be predictable. But if you're

576
00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:57,480
Speaker 4: they're predictable and they're still making first downs, they're still

577
00:31:57,560 --> 00:32:01,800
Speaker 4: still scoring thirty points a game, Who cares? I mean really,

578
00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:04,640
Speaker 4: and I get it. You feel like, if they know

579
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:08,240
Speaker 4: it's coming, it's not going to be successful. But if

580
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:13,160
Speaker 4: they know it's coming and you're successful, Yeah, let's just

581
00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:15,240
Speaker 4: take powerless. They're powerless.

582
00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:18,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, gotta take a break here. When we come back,

583

591
00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:55,520
Speaker 9: I Care provider of the Buffalo Bills, and you have

592
00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:58,280
Speaker 9: to believe Buffalo's defense is going to be squarely focused

593
00:32:58,280 --> 00:32:59,320
Speaker 9: on Jonathan Taylor.

594
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:02,440
Speaker 2: If they can neutralize him the way the Vikings did

595
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:05,280
Speaker 2: last week, they go a long way to a victory.

596
00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:07,760
Speaker 2: They held him to forty eight yards last week.

597
00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:10,680
Speaker 4: This is a game the defense has to win. I

598
00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:14,200
Speaker 4: think they got to show up big. Obviously turnovers would

599
00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:17,280
Speaker 4: be awesome splash plays, but it starts with their ability

600
00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:19,880
Speaker 4: to stop the run. They brought in some big bodies

601
00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:24,680
Speaker 4: and Jordan Phillips and Quintin Jefferson. Yes, those guys may help,

602
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:28,040
Speaker 4: but even so, the front of the defense has to

603
00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:32,400
Speaker 4: stop their run, starting with Jonathan Taylor. And see if

604
00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:37,400
Speaker 4: Joe Flacco without Michael Pittman can beat you, they should

605
00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:40,200
Speaker 4: not be able to, right, they should not be able

606
00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:42,760
Speaker 4: to score enough points to beat you. This is a

607
00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:44,640
Speaker 4: defensive game for me, for the Buffalo Bills.

608
00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:48,640

Speaker 10: Sure, big big fan, Steve, your true Hall of Famer.

618
00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:12,040
Speaker 2: Uh.

619
00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:14,839
Speaker 10: I would do anything to get back when I rise

620
00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:19,359
Speaker 10: when when the Colts left, the Bills were my team

621
00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:21,520
Speaker 10: and they still are even when the Ravens came.

622
00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:22,759
Speaker 11: Uh, you know.

623
00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:27,600
Speaker 10: It's I believe it's our time. But uh, since then,

624
00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:29,160
Speaker 10: I got buried to have a couple of kids, and

625
00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:31,520
Speaker 10: we watched a lot of old video of you guys

626
00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:33,479
Speaker 10: back in the day, and my wife and the kids

627
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:35,440
Speaker 10: always say, watch him do the cake gun. Then no

628
00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:38,880
Speaker 10: huddle attack a team like they will never expect it.

629
00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:41,200
Speaker 10: And how did you guys plan for that?

630
00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:41,480
Speaker 12: You know?

631
00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:42,960
Speaker 10: How did how did it working out?

632
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:43,080
Speaker 3: Like?

633
00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:47,000
Speaker 10: It was like amazing? You know it was like a machine,

634
00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:49,759
Speaker 10: well old machine and Kolb be able to get back

635
00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:51,920
Speaker 10: to that with this team.

636
00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:51,560
Speaker 2: Uh.

637
00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:54,439
Speaker 10: I love you guys. And one more question, movies We're

638
00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:56,319
Speaker 10: everwhere the throwback comet this year?

639
00:34:57,080 --> 00:34:59,120
Speaker 13: I love you guys, Thank you guys, and.

640
00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:02,680
Speaker 2: Don't yeah go Bills. Thanks John. I don't think you're

641
00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:05,879
Speaker 2: gonna see a red helmet this year. I've there's really

642
00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:07,400
Speaker 2: nothing in the works. Again, you got to get a

643
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:09,200
Speaker 2: NFL approval for that a year in advance, and I

644
00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:12,360
Speaker 2: don't believe the Bills did that. You've explained it before,

645
00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:14,000
Speaker 2: but maybe why the cake.

646
00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:18,680
Speaker 4: It's a different era and the game has evolved away

647
00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:21,880
Speaker 4: from it. Certainly, one of the things, and maybe the

648
00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:24,160
Speaker 4: main thing that made the K gun work really well,

649
00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:26,000
Speaker 4: was the quarterback they had doing it in Jim Kelly.

650
00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:28,280
Speaker 4: I'm not say Josh isn't like they're not the same,

651
00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:32,520
Speaker 4: but yet Jim Kelly, who's in the Hall of Fame.

652
00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:34,399
Speaker 4: You have Derman Thomas who's in the Hall of Fame,

653
00:35:34,520 --> 00:35:36,399
Speaker 4: Andre Reid who's in the Hall of Fame, and James

654
00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:38,200
Speaker 4: Laughton who's in the Hall of Fame. And he had

655
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:41,719
Speaker 4: the biggest and most athletic offensive line in the national

656
00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:44,560
Speaker 4: football We had. We had a roster that could do it.

657
00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:47,720
Speaker 4: And one of the things that has that was in place.

658
00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:53,200
Speaker 4: Then as you go fast down the field, if you

659
00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:56,000
Speaker 4: got them into an unfavorable matchup, if you address the

660
00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:58,319
Speaker 4: ball and snap the ball, you could go fast. Now,

661
00:35:58,320 --> 00:35:59,960
Speaker 4: there's some certain things that are a little different about

662
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:09,480
Speaker 4: at now, but teams are sophisticated enough now defensively that

663
00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:14,919
Speaker 4: they can make calls on the fly that will give

664
00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:20,000
Speaker 4: you problems. And it is at this point in history

665
00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:23,880
Speaker 4: it's better for teams to find out what defense you're in.

666
00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:26,440
Speaker 4: They feel like they can decipher exactly what defense and

667
00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:29,680
Speaker 4: what coverage you're going to play if they give you

668
00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:34,000
Speaker 4: some motion and some shifts and personnel groupings and alignments,

669
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:36,640
Speaker 4: and they can experiment with shifts and motions. Put you

670
00:36:36,680 --> 00:36:38,879
Speaker 4: out there, now, motion in, now, go back out, now,

671
00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:41,759
Speaker 4: move this guy out and in. They can tell what

672
00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:45,560
Speaker 4: coverage you're going to be in, and thereby giving themselves

673
00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:47,840
Speaker 4: an advantage before the ball is even snapped. Your quarterback

674
00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:49,880
Speaker 4: knows exactly where he wants to go with the football

675
00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:52,680
Speaker 4: before it's snapped, or it has a good idea. That's

676
00:36:52,719 --> 00:36:55,960
Speaker 4: why you always hear about safeties disguising what they're trying

677
00:36:55,960 --> 00:36:59,040
Speaker 4: to do. They may try to, but at some point

678
00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:01,200
Speaker 4: the quarterback watch just too much film and he can

679
00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:01,759
Speaker 4: decipher it.

680
00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:04,840
Speaker 2: K gun didn't allow for motion because you had to

681
00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:05,480
Speaker 2: go fast.

682
00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:08,080
Speaker 4: Right K gun. It was a static offense, same personnel,

683
00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:11,440
Speaker 4: same formation, either right or left, and go and they

684
00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:14,640
Speaker 4: ran a snap. They ran to play every sixteen seconds

685
00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:16,239
Speaker 4: of reels. I forget what the game clock or his

686
00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:19,520
Speaker 4: play clock said. You know, you snap the ball. Sixteen

687
00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:21,759
Speaker 4: seconds after you snap the ball, the play runs and

688
00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:24,160
Speaker 4: it's down, and they had sixteen seconds after that you're

689
00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:27,680
Speaker 4: snapping it again. That was one of the beauties of

690
00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:30,080
Speaker 4: that and that's why people loved watching it because it

691
00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:33,359
Speaker 4: was it was fun, it was fast break and when

692
00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:36,640
Speaker 4: it was clicking at worked. The key to it was

693
00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:40,400
Speaker 4: that Jim and Thurman and Andre and James Lofton in

694
00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:42,800
Speaker 4: that offensive line, they could churn out some first downs

695
00:37:42,840 --> 00:37:45,359
Speaker 4: right out of the gate. And once they did that,

696
00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:50,120
Speaker 4: the big boys up front stopped rushing the passer. They

697
00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:53,040
Speaker 4: were gassed and they just started leaning on the offensive

698
00:37:53,080 --> 00:37:57,080
Speaker 4: line and that and then it started to steamroll. And

699
00:37:57,120 --> 00:37:59,520
Speaker 4: then you saw it go down score, and then you

700
00:37:59,560 --> 00:38:00,960
Speaker 4: go down to score again. Then you go down to

701
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:05,880
Speaker 4: score again. Later on, teams came up with counters to

702
00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:13,640
Speaker 4: that pressures an offense that was equally adept at scoring

703
00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:16,120
Speaker 4: and keeping that team off the field. And then you

704
00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:18,200
Speaker 4: get one stop and then you know, all of a sudden,

705
00:38:18,239 --> 00:38:20,799
Speaker 4: it's forty five minutes before you even touch the ball

706
00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:23,239
Speaker 4: as an offense. So there's a lot of reasons why

707
00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:28,520
Speaker 4: the k gun is not used now because if it worked,

708
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:31,160
Speaker 4: and it worked that well for Buffalo, teams would be

709
00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:33,560
Speaker 4: using it. It would go happen all the time. You know,

710
00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:36,920
Speaker 4: it would be the magic elixir. Everybody would use it.

711
00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:38,800
Speaker 4: If there was one of those, everybody would do it.

712
00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:43,839
Speaker 4: But now there are answers defensively for it that make

713
00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:45,399
Speaker 4: it really difficult to pull off.

714
00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:48,680
Speaker 2: Let's go to Ryan in Toronto next.

715
00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:51,360
Speaker 6: What's up, Ryan, Chris Steve Happy?

716
00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:53,040
Speaker 4: Thanks?

717
00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:56,719
Speaker 14: So, a couple of things on my mind. First of all,

718
00:38:56,800 --> 00:39:01,480
Speaker 14: yesterday you guys had as identity of the Buffalo Bills.

719
00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:03,440
Speaker 14: You know what I want to talk about the Buffalo

720
00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:07,680
Speaker 14: Baltmore Raymonds. What is the idity? They have three losses,

721
00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:10,960
Speaker 14: one of them to undefeated in Casey, and the other

722
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:14,480
Speaker 14: two are the worst teams in the league, Raiders and Brown.

723
00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:16,880
Speaker 14: Now let's create back to the Bills. I'm not so

724
00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:21,640
Speaker 14: I'm not so concerned about the White Amar Cooper Amari

725
00:39:21,680 --> 00:39:24,080
Speaker 14: Cooper playing on out these I'm saying is because they

726
00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:27,120
Speaker 14: need to fix a run defense right now. They have

727
00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:30,879
Speaker 14: five teams ahead of them, Colfree, Jonthan Taylor and then

728
00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:33,920
Speaker 14: Casey with Kareem Hunt and then you have MC with

729
00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:37,520
Speaker 14: Sam Fans and then Williams and with the Rams, and

730
00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:42,560
Speaker 14: then you've got double head masters Gibbs and Montgomery in Detroit.

731
00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:46,680
Speaker 14: They have to fix a run defense. If they don't,

732
00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:50,280
Speaker 14: these teams are gonna they're gonna run the ball, mister Clark,

733
00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:52,880
Speaker 14: and you might not even see the field. Thanks for

734
00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:53,640
Speaker 14: taking my cars.

735
00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:56,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, no, I think that is job number one.

736
00:39:56,400 --> 00:39:59,080
Speaker 2: We just mentioned it. Envision to victory. Yeah, you gotta

737
00:39:59,239 --> 00:40:03,000
Speaker 2: slow down tail, make them one dimensional. Put the game

738
00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:06,480
Speaker 2: on Joe Flacco, who is a pocket quarterback who you

739
00:40:06,520 --> 00:40:08,440
Speaker 2: know where he's going to be on every single snap,

740
00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:11,080
Speaker 2: sitting there in the pocket, which I think is an

741
00:40:11,080 --> 00:40:13,200
Speaker 2: advantage for your pass rush. But you got to get

742
00:40:13,239 --> 00:40:17,120
Speaker 2: to obvious passing downs and third and long situations so

743
00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:19,680
Speaker 2: your pass rush can be productive for you. That doesn't

744
00:40:19,719 --> 00:40:22,719
Speaker 2: happen if you're not effective on first and second down

745
00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:26,600
Speaker 2: and stopping the run. And look, it was substandard last week.

746
00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:28,960
Speaker 2: We all know it. The run game. The run defense

747
00:40:29,040 --> 00:40:31,320
Speaker 2: was substandard last week. The players know what, the coaches

748
00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:33,160
Speaker 2: know what. They've been working all week on it. Let's

749
00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:34,280
Speaker 2: see if it's better this week.

750
00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:38,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, they've and they've been nicked up up front. They

751
00:40:38,560 --> 00:40:40,399
Speaker 4: lost a couple of guys last week, so it didn't

752
00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:43,279
Speaker 4: get better. It actually got worse during the game. And

753
00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:47,720
Speaker 4: you know, they whatever adjustments they made were negated because

754
00:40:47,719 --> 00:40:50,040
Speaker 4: of the guys they didn't have guys to put in.

755
00:40:50,120 --> 00:40:54,479
Speaker 4: So yeah, it looked bad last week and it really

756
00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:58,279
Speaker 4: helped Miami stay in that football game, that along with

757
00:40:58,320 --> 00:41:03,080
Speaker 4: the interception down close. So I'm with you, Ryan, You've

758
00:41:03,120 --> 00:41:06,160
Speaker 4: got this Indianapolis Colts and Jonathan Taylor. Taylor's the guy

759
00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:08,560
Speaker 4: on their team this week. I mean, there's nobody else

760
00:41:09,280 --> 00:41:12,600
Speaker 4: who is of that caliber. He is one of the

761
00:41:12,600 --> 00:41:15,040
Speaker 4: top five guys in the league, if not top two

762
00:41:15,120 --> 00:41:21,839
Speaker 4: or three. He's really good. Kansas City, Pacheco and those

763
00:41:21,840 --> 00:41:24,840
Speaker 4: guys they've got yet they're a problem offensively. Then you

764
00:41:24,920 --> 00:41:28,680
Speaker 4: got San Francisco with Christian McCaffrey coming off and he

765
00:41:28,719 --> 00:41:31,360
Speaker 4: should be as fresh as a daisy right off the shelf.

766
00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:34,160
Speaker 4: Then you got the Rams and the Lions, two teams

767
00:41:34,160 --> 00:41:39,200
Speaker 4: that are fantastic offensively, the Lions in particular. So yeah,

768
00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:41,239
Speaker 4: the Pills have got some wrinkles to iron out in

769
00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:44,680
Speaker 4: their run defense, particularly with this next after the Colts,

770
00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:50,560
Speaker 4: the Chiefs, Niners Rams Lions. That's a gauntlet. That is

771
00:41:50,560 --> 00:41:51,200
Speaker 4: a gauntlet.

772
00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:54,960
Speaker 2: They're all playoff teams from last year, including three of

773
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:57,840
Speaker 2: the last four teams standing at the end of the season.

774
00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:02,399
Speaker 2: Kansas City, San fran Lion. Gotta take a break here,

775
00:42:02,719 --> 00:42:04,440
Speaker 2: but when we come back, more of your phone calls.

776
00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:07,160
Speaker 2: We'll lead off with Dennis in North Carolina and dj

777
00:42:07,280 --> 00:42:09,759
Speaker 2: in Connecticut when we return. On an obl Friday fan

778
00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:12,440
Speaker 2: mail bag. Here on One Bill's Live, presented by Colida Health,

779
00:42:12,440 --> 00:42:31,200
Speaker 2: It's Buffalo Bills Radio. This week's Collision course is brought

780
00:42:31,239 --> 00:42:34,000
Speaker 2: to you by Gabes Collision. Gabs Collision, the official auto

781
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:36,480
Speaker 2: collision repair center of the Buffalo Bills. Get back in

782
00:42:36,560 --> 00:42:39,719
Speaker 2: the game. It's the Bills red zone offense against the

783
00:42:39,719 --> 00:42:43,640
Speaker 2: Colts red zone defense. We know the offense has been

784
00:42:43,719 --> 00:42:46,360
Speaker 2: top ten all season long. They ranked sixth in the league,

785
00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:49,440
Speaker 2: converting touchdowns at a rate of just over sixty four percent.

786
00:42:49,520 --> 00:42:51,160
Speaker 2: What about the Colts defense.

787
00:42:50,840 --> 00:42:54,480
Speaker 4: Dude, Coles defense sixteenth in the league. Actually, this has

788
00:42:54,520 --> 00:42:59,879
Speaker 4: tied for sixteenth and that's where the Bills really make

789
00:42:59,880 --> 00:43:02,279
Speaker 4: that or hey, you think about where the think about

790
00:43:02,280 --> 00:43:07,120
Speaker 4: where the Bills are offensively. I mean they are number

791
00:43:07,160 --> 00:43:10,160
Speaker 4: six in red zone efficiency, which means they score points

792
00:43:10,200 --> 00:43:13,239
Speaker 4: on sixty four percent of their their possessions down there.

793
00:43:13,280 --> 00:43:16,759
Speaker 4: There are one hundred percent on fourth down conversions one

794
00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:19,920
Speaker 4: hundred percent and fourth in the league in scoring and

795
00:43:19,920 --> 00:43:22,399
Speaker 4: fourth in the league scoring. But they're seventeenth and third down,

796
00:43:22,480 --> 00:43:24,319
Speaker 4: so you know, but you're throwing the fourth down and

797
00:43:24,360 --> 00:43:26,200
Speaker 4: it kind of brings the Bills back up to where

798
00:43:26,239 --> 00:43:28,319
Speaker 4: everybody else is, you know, back to where they're kind

799
00:43:28,360 --> 00:43:31,120
Speaker 4: of normal when you get into those fourth down conversions

800
00:43:31,120 --> 00:43:34,959
Speaker 4: where they you know, have a hard time stopping them. Yeah,

801
00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:40,879
Speaker 4: that's this is it's hard to anticipate. But when Joe

802
00:43:40,920 --> 00:43:44,880
Speaker 4: Flacco struggles, it's not just about not being able to

803
00:43:44,920 --> 00:43:48,960
Speaker 4: complete passes. He turns it over. If that happens, this

804
00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:51,080
Speaker 4: game might get out. That's that's the way this game

805
00:43:51,120 --> 00:43:52,720
Speaker 4: can Bills. But hurry.

806
00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:56,239
Speaker 2: We should note that the Colts lead the league in

807
00:43:56,400 --> 00:43:59,799
Speaker 2: red zone takeaways with five. Yeah, they have five red

808
00:43:59,880 --> 00:44:02,360
Speaker 2: z o takeaways in nine games. It's been one of

809
00:44:02,360 --> 00:44:05,440
Speaker 2: their saving graces in keeping games as close as they

810
00:44:05,440 --> 00:44:05,759
Speaker 2: have been.

811
00:44:05,920 --> 00:44:10,120
Speaker 4: Now they I'll say this, they got a couple of gifts,

812
00:44:10,200 --> 00:44:14,680
Speaker 4: at least one gift from Sam Donald on Sunday night

813
00:44:14,920 --> 00:44:20,160
Speaker 4: that was gift wrapped. He threw it into a colts

814
00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:25,399
Speaker 4: team meeting. I mean, I was that was the Sam

815
00:44:25,440 --> 00:44:28,520
Speaker 4: Donald that we know and love as Bills fans. But

816
00:44:28,600 --> 00:44:30,960
Speaker 4: it didn't he didn't stay long. The other guy from

817
00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:33,719
Speaker 4: Minnesota showed up and that Sam Donald's pretty good and

818
00:44:33,760 --> 00:44:34,799
Speaker 4: they ended up winning that game.

819
00:44:34,880 --> 00:44:37,600
Speaker 2: Now let's get back to the phones. Is that is

820
00:44:37,760 --> 00:44:40,320
Speaker 2: Gabe that his collision course brought to you by Gabe's

821
00:44:40,320 --> 00:44:44,440
Speaker 2: Collision to Dennis in North Carolina has promised, what's up? Dennis?

822
00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:46,879
Speaker 11: Hey? What's going on y'all?

823
00:44:47,680 --> 00:44:48,279
Speaker 2: Not too much?

824
00:44:48,520 --> 00:44:54,160
Speaker 11: Hey, Hey, Chris, I've been the past two three weeks,

825
00:44:54,239 --> 00:44:58,120
Speaker 11: I've been trying to listen to you and I meant

826
00:44:58,120 --> 00:45:00,239
Speaker 11: to the NFL flight So, like you said a few

827
00:45:00,239 --> 00:45:05,080
Speaker 11: weeks ago, yeah, and I've been listening to Miami Dolphins

828
00:45:05,120 --> 00:45:11,359
Speaker 11: commentators Philadelphia, and I like, I didn't know exactly. Am

829
00:45:11,440 --> 00:45:14,839
Speaker 11: I doing something wrong or I st not tuning into

830
00:45:14,920 --> 00:45:17,040
Speaker 11: the session or yeah.

831
00:45:17,080 --> 00:45:20,319
Speaker 2: So when you go to that page, you should get

832
00:45:20,360 --> 00:45:25,600
Speaker 2: two choices. The home radio the home team radio broadcast,

833
00:45:25,920 --> 00:45:29,560
Speaker 2: or the visiting team radio broadcast, So whether the like.

834
00:45:29,640 --> 00:45:33,800
Speaker 2: For example, this week, if you select Bill's Colts game,

835
00:45:34,560 --> 00:45:36,720
Speaker 2: there should be a menu that comes up that says

836
00:45:37,040 --> 00:45:41,320
Speaker 2: home radio broadcast or visiting radio broadcast this week. Obviously

837
00:45:41,360 --> 00:45:43,480
Speaker 2: you want to pick the visiting radio broadcast if you

838
00:45:43,480 --> 00:45:45,520
Speaker 2: want to listen to us on the Bills radio network.

839
00:45:45,600 --> 00:45:48,840
Speaker 2: So there should be choices provided for you in there.

840
00:45:49,360 --> 00:45:52,640
Speaker 2: So just just remember whether the Bills are home and

841
00:45:52,680 --> 00:45:55,560
Speaker 2: away and then you'll pick the right one.

842
00:45:55,880 --> 00:45:59,800
Speaker 11: Okay, So do you think Brendan Bean's going to go

843
00:45:59,840 --> 00:46:03,120
Speaker 11: out after any more free agent? It's like another safety

844
00:46:03,960 --> 00:46:06,640
Speaker 11: and the other. I had a question for Stave. It's

845
00:46:06,640 --> 00:46:08,000
Speaker 11: been on my mind for a long time.

846
00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:10,040
Speaker 4: Go ahead and ask your question.

847
00:46:11,440 --> 00:46:15,640
Speaker 11: Okay, so can you compare to the ninety teams to

848
00:46:15,760 --> 00:46:18,439
Speaker 11: the players that we had today, Like, are there any

849
00:46:18,480 --> 00:46:22,520
Speaker 11: similarities between them or what do you think?

850
00:46:23,160 --> 00:46:25,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean all good football teams are similar in

851
00:46:25,080 --> 00:46:29,200
Speaker 4: some respects. You need a great quarterback, and certainly both

852
00:46:29,239 --> 00:46:32,959
Speaker 4: those teams have that. The thing that was a little

853
00:46:32,960 --> 00:46:35,879
Speaker 4: different back then was that it was just at the

854
00:46:35,960 --> 00:46:39,279
Speaker 4: last part of where there was no free agency. So

855
00:46:39,320 --> 00:46:41,880
Speaker 4: you had guys on team for a long Most of

856
00:46:41,920 --> 00:46:44,320
Speaker 4: the core guys on the team had are going to

857
00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:48,000
Speaker 4: be there forever, right Bruce never Bruce was there for

858
00:46:48,040 --> 00:46:50,880
Speaker 4: fifteen or sixteen years, fourteen years. Andre was there for

859
00:46:50,880 --> 00:46:53,560
Speaker 4: fourteen years, Jim was there for eleven years. I was

860
00:46:53,600 --> 00:46:55,759
Speaker 4: there for eleven years. I mean, you got all you know,

861
00:46:55,800 --> 00:46:58,320
Speaker 4: the offensive linemen, we're all there for you know, double

862
00:46:58,360 --> 00:47:00,920
Speaker 4: digit So it was a different kind of atmosphere there.

863
00:47:02,120 --> 00:47:05,439
Speaker 4: But I think one of the things that makes this

864
00:47:05,600 --> 00:47:08,480
Speaker 4: team now like that team because we all knew each

865
00:47:08,520 --> 00:47:12,160
Speaker 4: other so well, was Sean mc is Sean McDermott's ability

866
00:47:12,920 --> 00:47:18,280
Speaker 4: to team build. They're really good these days at getting

867
00:47:18,320 --> 00:47:23,520
Speaker 4: these guys familiar with one another off the field. And

868
00:47:23,760 --> 00:47:25,880
Speaker 4: when you do that, which is something that happened for

869
00:47:25,960 --> 00:47:29,160
Speaker 4: us organically. You know, we all lived in Buffalo, and

870
00:47:29,160 --> 00:47:31,719
Speaker 4: we and we just hung out together in the offseason,

871
00:47:31,760 --> 00:47:33,480
Speaker 4: and of course Buffalo is the size of a city

872
00:47:33,520 --> 00:47:35,920
Speaker 4: that we hung out off the field because we were

873
00:47:36,040 --> 00:47:38,000
Speaker 4: ten minutes from each other, even if you lived in

874
00:47:38,000 --> 00:47:41,600
Speaker 4: opposite directions from the stadium, right, So we did it organically.

875
00:47:41,680 --> 00:47:46,200
Speaker 4: Now the team, the coaching staff and the veteran players,

876
00:47:46,239 --> 00:47:49,239
Speaker 4: they make a concerted effort to make sure they know

877
00:47:49,360 --> 00:47:51,960
Speaker 4: these guys off the field and hang out and do

878
00:47:52,000 --> 00:47:55,319
Speaker 4: stuff like Connor McGovern has pizza parties every week for

879
00:47:55,600 --> 00:47:58,359
Speaker 4: the team, makes thirty pizzas, they all get together. It's

880
00:47:58,400 --> 00:48:01,000
Speaker 4: like Jim Kelly's post game parties he used to have,

881
00:48:02,560 --> 00:48:05,640
Speaker 4: so in that respect, yes, there is a lot of

882
00:48:06,239 --> 00:48:09,000
Speaker 4: the same. And plus, when you're a good team the

883
00:48:09,040 --> 00:48:11,000
Speaker 4: way the Bills have been over the last six years,

884
00:48:11,040 --> 00:48:12,520
Speaker 4: Like that team and that I was on in the

885
00:48:12,560 --> 00:48:15,719
Speaker 4: nineties was good over five or six seven years. You

886
00:48:15,840 --> 00:48:18,840
Speaker 4: got great players, and this team has had great players.

887
00:48:19,120 --> 00:48:22,120
Speaker 2: As for trying to pick up another player, yeah, I

888
00:48:22,120 --> 00:48:24,239
Speaker 2: don't think you could rule it out because Brandon Bean

889
00:48:24,239 --> 00:48:27,120
Speaker 2: has always beaten the bushes looking for ways to improve

890
00:48:27,160 --> 00:48:30,479
Speaker 2: the team. But I would tend to think the right

891
00:48:30,560 --> 00:48:34,440
Speaker 2: player would have to come along to augment the roster

892
00:48:34,520 --> 00:48:37,440
Speaker 2: again at the safety spot. Not saying it won't happen,

893
00:48:37,840 --> 00:48:39,279
Speaker 2: but I think it has to be the right fit.

894
00:48:39,880 --> 00:48:42,200
Speaker 2: And the only thing short of that that would prompt

895
00:48:42,200 --> 00:48:43,920
Speaker 2: any more moves I think would be a rash of

896
00:48:43,960 --> 00:48:45,480
Speaker 2: injuries at a position.

897
00:48:45,800 --> 00:48:49,879
Speaker 4: Yeah, and the Mike Edwards release, I mean might pave

898
00:48:49,920 --> 00:48:55,919
Speaker 4: the way for that. Yeah, you know so, although at

899
00:48:55,960 --> 00:48:58,640
Speaker 4: this point, it's not going to be somebody they expect

900
00:48:58,640 --> 00:49:03,440
Speaker 4: to come in and contribute fifty snaps a game. Yeah,

901
00:49:03,560 --> 00:49:06,759
Speaker 4: it's going to be somebody, you know, it. I think

902
00:49:06,800 --> 00:49:08,680
Speaker 4: the biggest thing was were the two guys they got,

903
00:49:08,760 --> 00:49:11,759
Speaker 4: Quentin Jefferson and Jordan Phillips. I mean that you're going

904
00:49:11,840 --> 00:49:15,400
Speaker 4: to see moves like that in me. Yeah, at different positions,

905
00:49:15,400 --> 00:49:16,800
Speaker 4: maybe at safety and maybe others.

906
00:49:17,440 --> 00:49:20,120
Speaker 2: Back to the phones into DJ in Connecticut. What's up, DJ?

907
00:49:21,600 --> 00:49:24,439
Speaker 13: Hey guys, thanks again for all your work. Every time

908
00:49:24,440 --> 00:49:26,960
Speaker 13: I listen to you guys, I learned something and then

909
00:49:27,000 --> 00:49:29,680
Speaker 13: the more I know, the better I enjoy the game.

910
00:49:29,760 --> 00:49:32,920
Speaker 13: So thanks for bills by the numbers and all your stuff.

911
00:49:32,960 --> 00:49:33,200
Speaker 2: Sure.

912
00:49:33,480 --> 00:49:37,760
Speaker 13: Two things Number one is why do you rarely see,

913
00:49:37,800 --> 00:49:42,120
Speaker 13: if ever fake field goals? And is it because a

914
00:49:42,120 --> 00:49:44,919
Speaker 13: lot of times the holders or the punters rather than

915
00:49:45,320 --> 00:49:48,360
Speaker 13: back and Steve's day it was the backup quarterback. And

916
00:49:48,480 --> 00:49:53,160
Speaker 13: number two, why why do I I may be missing something?

917
00:49:53,440 --> 00:49:57,440
Speaker 13: Why don't they design Josh Allen rollouts to the right.

918
00:49:57,600 --> 00:50:01,279
Speaker 13: We all know that he favors that, and sometimes when

919
00:50:01,320 --> 00:50:03,480
Speaker 13: there's a lot of pressure, it seems like that'd be

920
00:50:03,520 --> 00:50:05,560
Speaker 13: a good way to just get him on the move

921
00:50:05,600 --> 00:50:08,120
Speaker 13: and get it going. So thanks and go bell.

922
00:50:08,400 --> 00:50:11,799
Speaker 4: I'll say this, DJ, I'm with you. If a guy

923
00:50:11,920 --> 00:50:16,160
Speaker 4: does something like that, nobody else does. And when Josh

924
00:50:16,200 --> 00:50:18,759
Speaker 4: rolls out right. I mean we all know it, right,

925
00:50:18,840 --> 00:50:20,840
Speaker 4: I mean people in the you can feel it in

926
00:50:20,880 --> 00:50:22,960
Speaker 4: the stands, you can hear it in the stadium. When

927
00:50:23,000 --> 00:50:26,720
Speaker 4: he starts to roll rout right, people stand up because

928
00:50:26,760 --> 00:50:29,040
Speaker 4: it just it has happened so much over the course

929
00:50:29,040 --> 00:50:31,120
Speaker 4: of his career. And I'm with you. That's and I'll

930
00:50:31,160 --> 00:50:34,000
Speaker 4: say this too, that's how the k gun got started

931
00:50:34,200 --> 00:50:37,600
Speaker 4: with Jim. He was so good at that end of half,

932
00:50:37,719 --> 00:50:40,880
Speaker 4: end of game, hurry up offense. They said, you know,

933
00:50:40,920 --> 00:50:44,239
Speaker 4: we should just do it more, you know, And that's

934
00:50:44,280 --> 00:50:46,640
Speaker 4: how he talked him into it, and they did. So

935
00:50:47,200 --> 00:50:51,799
Speaker 4: I'm with you. They should have some pocket motion for

936
00:50:51,920 --> 00:50:54,440
Speaker 4: Jim to get outside of Jim, for Josh to get

937
00:50:54,480 --> 00:50:59,439
Speaker 4: outside the pocket and roll right. They should. I don't

938
00:50:59,440 --> 00:51:01,839
Speaker 4: know that they you know, they haven't. You know, they've

939
00:51:01,840 --> 00:51:02,319
Speaker 4: never been in.

940
00:51:02,719 --> 00:51:05,440
Speaker 2: Design rollouts in the playbook that we've seen through the

941
00:51:05,440 --> 00:51:08,560
Speaker 2: first nine games. They get great frequency, but we've seen

942
00:51:08,560 --> 00:51:09,759
Speaker 2: it naked boots.

943
00:51:09,440 --> 00:51:11,440
Speaker 4: That kind of thing. I'm with you one hundred percent.

944
00:51:11,480 --> 00:51:14,520
Speaker 4: And on the fake field goals, it's a good question.

945
00:51:16,480 --> 00:51:20,239
Speaker 4: Here's the thing to be to be confident that a

946
00:51:20,320 --> 00:51:24,520
Speaker 4: play is gonna work against a real life NFL defense

947
00:51:25,200 --> 00:51:30,680
Speaker 4: that is that is there to stop it, You've really

948
00:51:30,760 --> 00:51:32,680
Speaker 4: got to put some time and effort in on it,

949
00:51:33,440 --> 00:51:36,640
Speaker 4: and the other team needs to show a vulnerability to it.

950
00:51:38,480 --> 00:51:41,040
Speaker 4: A lot of times that stuff just doesn't line up. Plus,

951
00:51:41,800 --> 00:51:46,200
Speaker 4: when you call a fake field goal, it's got to

952
00:51:46,239 --> 00:51:48,279
Speaker 4: be you're not gonna You can call it a fake

953
00:51:48,280 --> 00:51:50,320
Speaker 4: field goal if it's a seventy five yard kick that

954
00:51:50,400 --> 00:51:53,319
Speaker 4: you're not gonna make, But if you call it on

955
00:51:53,360 --> 00:51:55,719
Speaker 4: a nineteen yard field goal that you know you're you

956
00:51:55,760 --> 00:51:58,440
Speaker 4: are gonna make and you do a fake and it

957
00:51:58,480 --> 00:52:03,720
Speaker 4: doesn't work, that's that's a big l that that hurts

958
00:52:03,719 --> 00:52:07,839
Speaker 4: your win probability a lot. So it's a huge at

959
00:52:07,880 --> 00:52:14,960
Speaker 4: the risk sometimes never is never overtaken by your confidence

960
00:52:14,960 --> 00:52:18,200
Speaker 4: that it'll work. And to get one of those things

961
00:52:18,239 --> 00:52:19,600
Speaker 4: to work, you got to run through it and run

962
00:52:19,640 --> 00:52:21,239
Speaker 4: through it and run through it and have everybody on.

963
00:52:21,560 --> 00:52:26,280
Speaker 4: And most people don't realize this. Special teams rosters vacillate

964
00:52:26,400 --> 00:52:29,560
Speaker 4: during the season. Who's active, who's not active, who's playing

965
00:52:29,560 --> 00:52:32,160
Speaker 4: the wing this week, who's playing the other wing this week.

966
00:52:33,520 --> 00:52:35,719
Speaker 4: The roster on special teams is a little bit more

967
00:52:35,760 --> 00:52:40,239
Speaker 4: fluid than offensive defense, so you don't always get the

968
00:52:40,239 --> 00:52:42,200
Speaker 4: same guys out there, so now it's like, we got

969
00:52:42,200 --> 00:52:43,919
Speaker 4: to run this thing. Well, what are you talking about.

970
00:52:43,960 --> 00:52:46,080
Speaker 4: I've never practiced it. You know. You get a guy

971
00:52:46,080 --> 00:52:48,960
Speaker 4: out there because he's he's active, just because somebody got in,

972
00:52:49,080 --> 00:52:51,239
Speaker 4: the guy who runs it is injured, so now you

973
00:52:51,280 --> 00:52:53,640
Speaker 4: can't run it. All that stuff goes into the mix,

974
00:52:53,680 --> 00:52:59,160
Speaker 4: and for a lot of coaches, the downside is just

975
00:52:59,280 --> 00:53:02,440
Speaker 4: two down. For whatever upside you get, even if it's

976
00:53:02,440 --> 00:53:03,040
Speaker 4: a touchdown.

977
00:53:03,760 --> 00:53:06,560
Speaker 2: Break time for us here. Our number two begins shortly

978
00:53:06,600 --> 00:53:09,240
Speaker 2: with who else? Senior producer from NFL Films, Greg Cosell

979
00:53:09,280 --> 00:53:11,920
Speaker 2: will join us to talk x'es and o's Bill's cults. Next,

980
00:53:12,160 --> 00:53:14,200
Speaker 2: you're on One Bill's Live presented by Colida Hell.

981
00:53:14,239 --> 00:53:54,839
Speaker 15: It's Buffalo Bill's Radio.

982
00:53:58,719 --> 00:54:02,919
Speaker 1: This this is One Bills Live presented by Called Light

983
00:54:02,960 --> 00:54:03,399
Speaker 1: A Help.

984
00:54:04,040 --> 00:54:04,439
Speaker 4: All Right?

985
00:54:04,440 --> 00:54:06,759
Speaker 2: Our number two on a Friday can mean only one thing.

986
00:54:06,880 --> 00:54:09,600
Speaker 2: Chris Brown and Steve Tasker joined by senior producer from

987
00:54:09,680 --> 00:54:12,920
Speaker 2: NFL Films, Greg co Sel, whose weekly segment is presented

988
00:54:12,920 --> 00:54:16,680
Speaker 2: by Scott Lonyard, an official commercial site work partner of

989
00:54:16,760 --> 00:54:19,960
Speaker 2: the Buffalo Bills. All Right, Greg, looks like both teams

990
00:54:20,000 --> 00:54:21,840
Speaker 2: are gonna be a little short handed at receiver. No

991
00:54:21,920 --> 00:54:26,160
Speaker 2: key On Coleman for Buffalo, Amari Cooper questionable. Colts are

992
00:54:26,200 --> 00:54:28,840
Speaker 2: going to be without Michael Pittman Junior, who has been

993
00:54:28,920 --> 00:54:32,000
Speaker 2: battling a back injury for weeks and has been relatively

994
00:54:32,040 --> 00:54:36,560
Speaker 2: ineffective at least as far as his standards go. How

995
00:54:36,600 --> 00:54:39,840
Speaker 2: do you think that changes things, at least for Buffalo's offense.

996
00:54:41,480 --> 00:54:43,640
Speaker 12: You know, it's really interesting. It's funny you say that

997
00:54:43,680 --> 00:54:48,520
Speaker 12: about watching Buffalo's offense because you know, you would expect

998
00:54:48,520 --> 00:54:51,520
Speaker 12: that Buffalo's offense with Josh Allen at quarterback would really

999
00:54:51,560 --> 00:54:54,000
Speaker 12: be kind of a downfield passing team, but they really

1000
00:54:54,040 --> 00:54:58,000
Speaker 12: haven't been this year. Allen has not really thrown the

1001
00:54:58,040 --> 00:55:00,560
Speaker 12: ball that much relative to the rest of the league,

1002
00:55:00,880 --> 00:55:04,319
Speaker 12: throws that are beyond fifteen yards from the line of scrimmage,

1003
00:55:04,400 --> 00:55:06,759
Speaker 12: and they've not really been successful when they've done that.

1004
00:55:07,040 --> 00:55:09,960
Speaker 12: So it's really been somewhat of a condensed offense. We

1005
00:55:10,040 --> 00:55:12,360
Speaker 12: know the running game has been a big, big factor.

1006
00:55:12,600 --> 00:55:16,080
Speaker 12: That's certainly been a big factor in the red zone. Obviously,

1007
00:55:16,120 --> 00:55:17,719
Speaker 12: they're going to have to go down the list and

1008
00:55:18,280 --> 00:55:20,799
Speaker 12: you know, bring up some other receivers, but I'm just

1009
00:55:20,880 --> 00:55:24,800
Speaker 12: curious you know, the way in which they've played. I

1010
00:55:24,800 --> 00:55:28,080
Speaker 12: don't know if it changes a lot in terms of

1011
00:55:28,880 --> 00:55:31,880
Speaker 12: tactics because they really have not been a push the

1012
00:55:31,880 --> 00:55:34,680
Speaker 12: ball down the field passing games. It's really been much

1013
00:55:34,680 --> 00:55:37,520
Speaker 12: more efficient, and I think that's based on you know,

1014
00:55:37,640 --> 00:55:40,680
Speaker 12: game plan, play calling. Alan I think has been a

1015
00:55:40,680 --> 00:55:43,440
Speaker 12: little more conservative throwing the ball. You know, he hasn't

1016
00:55:43,480 --> 00:55:45,879
Speaker 12: really pushed it down the field, even when there are

1017
00:55:45,880 --> 00:55:48,360
Speaker 12: times when it looks like there might be throws available.

1018
00:55:48,640 --> 00:55:50,759
Speaker 4: It looks like we've talked about this for a couple

1019
00:55:50,800 --> 00:55:54,759
Speaker 4: of weeks now, Greg, the Bills coaching staff have made

1020
00:55:55,920 --> 00:55:59,239
Speaker 4: a philosophical choice, and I'm talking about both sides of

1021
00:55:59,280 --> 00:56:01,920
Speaker 4: the ball as a whole. Staff offenses all in and

1022
00:56:01,960 --> 00:56:06,239
Speaker 4: so's the defense of shortening these games to they run

1023
00:56:06,280 --> 00:56:09,960
Speaker 4: the ball, you know, on first down where they fewer possessions,

1024
00:56:10,239 --> 00:56:12,840
Speaker 4: they know they've got an offense, particularly with Josh, who's

1025
00:56:12,880 --> 00:56:15,360
Speaker 4: really efficient. I know they're not really high in the

1026
00:56:15,360 --> 00:56:18,560
Speaker 4: third down efficiency, but on fourth down they're one hundred percent.

1027
00:56:19,560 --> 00:56:22,120
Speaker 4: Every time they go forth, they get it. So when

1028
00:56:22,160 --> 00:56:24,200
Speaker 4: they really need a first down, they feel like they

1029
00:56:24,239 --> 00:56:27,239
Speaker 4: can get it, and they've kind of just resigned them.

1030
00:56:27,280 --> 00:56:29,720
Speaker 4: They're scoring thirty points a game, six out of nine games.

1031
00:56:29,760 --> 00:56:33,000
Speaker 4: I mean, so that's kind of their philosophy. They and

1032
00:56:33,080 --> 00:56:36,799
Speaker 4: now their big plays come after the catch, which that

1033
00:56:36,880 --> 00:56:38,759
Speaker 4: hasn't been the case in years past. So it really

1034
00:56:38,800 --> 00:56:41,719
Speaker 4: seems like a philosophical shift that they're really having some

1035
00:56:41,760 --> 00:56:42,440
Speaker 4: success with.

1036
00:56:43,480 --> 00:56:45,560
Speaker 12: Well, it's funny you say that, because I was watching

1037
00:56:45,800 --> 00:56:47,279
Speaker 12: their tape and I was saying to one of my

1038
00:56:47,280 --> 00:56:49,520
Speaker 12: guys on the Matchup show here that you know, is

1039
00:56:49,560 --> 00:56:52,359
Speaker 12: this something that's coming from the coaching staff. Is this

1040
00:56:52,600 --> 00:56:55,600
Speaker 12: you know, is this a defined approach that they're coaching,

1041
00:56:55,920 --> 00:56:58,680
Speaker 12: Because we know that Josh Allen, by his nature over

1042
00:56:58,960 --> 00:57:01,960
Speaker 12: most of his career, is an aggressive guy that if

1043
00:57:02,000 --> 00:57:04,520
Speaker 12: he feels like there's a downfield throw to be made,

1044
00:57:04,560 --> 00:57:07,320
Speaker 12: he's going to take it. But you're not really seeing

1045
00:57:07,360 --> 00:57:09,560
Speaker 12: that Steve this year. I mean, when I siden watched

1046
00:57:09,560 --> 00:57:11,719
Speaker 12: the tape, there are times I feel like, boy, that

1047
00:57:11,800 --> 00:57:14,279
Speaker 12: throw I think is there, and the Josh Allen of

1048
00:57:14,280 --> 00:57:17,240
Speaker 12: two three years ago would definitely turn that loose, Whereas

1049
00:57:17,320 --> 00:57:20,760
Speaker 12: now instead of taking that throw, he's throwing it. You know,

1050
00:57:21,120 --> 00:57:22,760
Speaker 12: I don't want to say it's a checkdown, but he's

1051
00:57:22,760 --> 00:57:25,720
Speaker 12: taking the shorter throw and making it more of a

1052
00:57:25,720 --> 00:57:28,880
Speaker 12: sustaining type offense. I mean, obviously we're looking at the

1053
00:57:28,920 --> 00:57:31,560
Speaker 12: Ray Davis touchdown from last week, which was a clear

1054
00:57:31,600 --> 00:57:36,400
Speaker 12: bus by the Dolphins defense. But you know, it's interesting

1055
00:57:36,680 --> 00:57:40,520
Speaker 12: because you know, clearly there is a change, whether it's

1056
00:57:40,520 --> 00:57:44,000
Speaker 12: philosophical or whether it's just Josh choosing to, you know,

1057
00:57:44,800 --> 00:57:47,720
Speaker 12: play more of a sustaining kind of pass game. But

1058
00:57:47,800 --> 00:57:49,960
Speaker 12: they are not pushing the ball down the field.

1059
00:57:50,880 --> 00:57:54,520
Speaker 2: With respect to Buffalo's run game, running up the middle

1060
00:57:54,600 --> 00:57:58,640
Speaker 2: is going to be supremely difficult against Stewart, yeah and Buckner.

1061
00:57:59,080 --> 00:58:01,880
Speaker 2: So what do you envision for them in running to

1062
00:58:01,920 --> 00:58:02,480
Speaker 2: the edges.

1063
00:58:03,800 --> 00:58:06,520
Speaker 12: Well, it's another thing that's interesting you say that, because

1064
00:58:06,560 --> 00:58:08,520
Speaker 12: one of the things they've done really well with the

1065
00:58:08,640 --> 00:58:12,640
Speaker 12: run game is that sort of weak side zone away

1066
00:58:12,680 --> 00:58:15,320
Speaker 12: from the tight end straight to the formation. That's been

1067
00:58:15,400 --> 00:58:17,720
Speaker 12: kind of a staple run for them. They run it

1068
00:58:17,760 --> 00:58:21,120
Speaker 12: often out of twelve personnel. It's basically an inside run.

1069
00:58:22,160 --> 00:58:24,280
Speaker 12: It'll be interesting in this game if you if you

1070
00:58:24,360 --> 00:58:26,400
Speaker 12: almost go back to some of the things they did

1071
00:58:26,400 --> 00:58:29,320
Speaker 12: a year ago where they did a lot of the

1072
00:58:29,360 --> 00:58:32,280
Speaker 12: pulling of the tackle because they often like to do that,

1073
00:58:32,880 --> 00:58:36,720
Speaker 12: you know, to overfronts, which the Colts play a lot

1074
00:58:36,720 --> 00:58:39,320
Speaker 12: of that's where the front is shifted to the strength

1075
00:58:39,360 --> 00:58:43,200
Speaker 12: of the offensive formation to the tight end side and

1076
00:58:43,280 --> 00:58:46,080
Speaker 12: maybe go back to pulling, you know, the tackle and

1077
00:58:46,120 --> 00:58:48,640
Speaker 12: then trying to attack a little more on the perimeter,

1078
00:58:48,960 --> 00:58:50,960
Speaker 12: you know, and giving Cook and Davis sort of the

1079
00:58:51,680 --> 00:58:54,200
Speaker 12: you know, let them decide where they want to make

1080
00:58:54,200 --> 00:58:56,760
Speaker 12: their cut and cut downhill, so you could go back

1081
00:58:56,800 --> 00:58:58,880
Speaker 12: to that brownie. That's something they did really well a

1082
00:58:58,920 --> 00:58:59,240
Speaker 12: year ago.

1083
00:58:59,400 --> 00:59:01,760
Speaker 2: The other, right, the other thing that they're using more

1084
00:59:01,800 --> 00:59:04,800
Speaker 2: than anybody else's that sixth offensive lineman. Again, it's Alec

1085
00:59:04,840 --> 00:59:08,640
Speaker 2: Anderson this year, and they're averaging five yards to pop

1086
00:59:08,680 --> 00:59:11,200
Speaker 2: with it. It's hard to knock it when it's been working.

1087
00:59:11,240 --> 00:59:13,560
Speaker 2: And then I'm sure you saw last week there were

1088
00:59:13,600 --> 00:59:16,280
Speaker 2: a couple of plays in the red zone in particular

1089
00:59:16,320 --> 00:59:19,920
Speaker 2: where they went three tight ends and dlek Anderson at

1090
00:59:19,920 --> 00:59:22,040
Speaker 2: the same time down there. I'm not saying they go

1091
00:59:22,160 --> 00:59:24,040
Speaker 2: that far, but what do you make I mean, they're

1092
00:59:24,120 --> 00:59:27,080
Speaker 2: using it fifteen percent of their offensive snaps six offensive

1093
00:59:27,080 --> 00:59:28,800
Speaker 2: linemen and it's been productive.

1094
00:59:29,760 --> 00:59:32,400
Speaker 12: Yeah, they played eighty one snaps with a six all lineman.

1095
00:59:32,440 --> 00:59:34,120
Speaker 12: That's a lot of snaps far and away the most

1096
00:59:34,160 --> 00:59:36,160
Speaker 12: in the league. I think thirty or so more than

1097
00:59:36,240 --> 00:59:39,200
Speaker 12: the next team. And you know, and again given the

1098
00:59:39,240 --> 00:59:41,720
Speaker 12: injuries this week, but even without the injuries, they've only

1099
00:59:41,760 --> 00:59:45,080
Speaker 12: played eleven personnel at a little more than fifty percent

1100
00:59:45,080 --> 00:59:48,560
Speaker 12: of their offensive snaps, which you know is not necessarily

1101
00:59:48,640 --> 00:59:50,800
Speaker 12: what teams do in the league. Although it's interesting. I

1102
00:59:50,800 --> 00:59:53,000
Speaker 12: think there's been a little bit of a trend teams

1103
00:59:53,000 --> 00:59:57,000
Speaker 12: playing more with twelve personnel two tight ends throughout the league.

1104
00:59:57,040 --> 01:00:00,520
Speaker 12: But you're right, they play a lot with six offensive alignemen.

1105
01:00:01,280 --> 01:00:03,560
Speaker 12: You could well see that. But you make a great

1106
01:00:03,560 --> 01:00:05,720
Speaker 12: point about the team they're playing this week. That cold

1107
01:00:05,760 --> 01:00:09,840
Speaker 12: Steve with Buckner and Stewart inside, that's not an easy

1108
01:00:09,920 --> 01:00:12,840
Speaker 12: place to run. So you know, we mentioned the other

1109
01:00:12,920 --> 01:00:16,200
Speaker 12: run that I mentioned getting on the perimeter. We'll see

1110
01:00:16,200 --> 01:00:18,720
Speaker 12: what they do. I would think they'd stay with what

1111
01:00:18,760 --> 01:00:21,480
Speaker 12: they've been doing, which is kind of the sustaining pass

1112
01:00:21,560 --> 01:00:23,479
Speaker 12: game and the run game. I don't I don't really

1113
01:00:23,560 --> 01:00:25,920
Speaker 12: think you'll see a change in how they approach their offense.

1114
01:00:26,240 --> 01:00:28,800
Speaker 4: One of the things I thought might be different this time, Greg,

1115
01:00:28,840 --> 01:00:31,000
Speaker 4: And you're right, tact you're going to run your offense, right,

1116
01:00:31,040 --> 01:00:33,160
Speaker 4: I mean, you got to. That's the only one you've got.

1117
01:00:33,840 --> 01:00:37,560
Speaker 4: But I think without Cooper, perhaps maybe without Cooper who's questionable,

1118
01:00:37,600 --> 01:00:42,000
Speaker 4: and of course Coleman, maybe the personnel packages do change

1119
01:00:42,080 --> 01:00:44,800
Speaker 4: and they run those plays with different people on the field.

1120
01:00:46,440 --> 01:00:49,240
Speaker 4: What are your thoughts on that? You know, we're everybody

1121
01:00:49,280 --> 01:00:52,520
Speaker 4: thinks they're going to try something wildly outlantah, But you're

1122
01:00:52,520 --> 01:00:54,240
Speaker 4: not of that mind, right You think they're going to

1123
01:00:54,320 --> 01:00:57,240
Speaker 4: run the plays that they've run and just run against

1124
01:00:57,240 --> 01:00:58,040
Speaker 4: the Colts defense.

1125
01:00:58,880 --> 01:01:01,880
Speaker 12: I mean, again, you never know. I mean, there could

1126
01:01:01,960 --> 01:01:04,400
Speaker 12: be you know, a couple of plays tweaks to things

1127
01:01:04,440 --> 01:01:07,640
Speaker 12: that teams often do that obviously if they're missing their

1128
01:01:07,680 --> 01:01:10,760
Speaker 12: personnel or against a specific defense that they feel like

1129
01:01:10,840 --> 01:01:13,640
Speaker 12: can work. But I don't know, Steve, you played usually

1130
01:01:13,680 --> 01:01:16,880
Speaker 12: by week ten. You know you're not changing anything dramatically,

1131
01:01:16,920 --> 01:01:19,320
Speaker 12: are you. I mean, you're not really doing that. I mean,

1132
01:01:20,400 --> 01:01:23,160
Speaker 12: you know, look, certainly you could line up Kincaid as

1133
01:01:23,200 --> 01:01:25,520
Speaker 12: a wide receiver, which they do, you know, so he

1134
01:01:25,600 --> 01:01:28,080
Speaker 12: can fill that role if they feel that they want

1135
01:01:28,080 --> 01:01:30,280
Speaker 12: to do what they would do with you know, Cooper

1136
01:01:30,360 --> 01:01:33,760
Speaker 12: or Coleman. He could probably line up and do those things.

1137
01:01:34,040 --> 01:01:35,880
Speaker 12: But I don't think you're going to see a completely

1138
01:01:35,920 --> 01:01:38,120
Speaker 12: different offense. I mean, you made a great point. They

1139
01:01:38,120 --> 01:01:40,240
Speaker 12: score thirty points a game. You know, it's not like

1140
01:01:40,280 --> 01:01:43,160
Speaker 12: they're struggling to score. Now, there have been some games

1141
01:01:43,160 --> 01:01:45,720
Speaker 12: where they've not gotten off to a good start, but

1142
01:01:46,240 --> 01:01:48,240
Speaker 12: you know, for the most part, this team does end

1143
01:01:48,320 --> 01:01:51,720
Speaker 12: up moving the ball. They don't get necessarily stuck. So

1144
01:01:52,240 --> 01:01:54,920
Speaker 12: I can't see them being dramatically different in how they

1145
01:01:55,000 --> 01:01:55,920
Speaker 12: approach the game.

1146
01:01:56,000 --> 01:01:59,360
Speaker 2: Right all right, looking at their defense, setting the edge

1147
01:01:59,400 --> 01:02:01,920
Speaker 2: in the run front was a problem last week against Miami.

1148
01:02:02,280 --> 01:02:07,240
Speaker 2: Probably substandard performance for them against the run all things considered.

1149
01:02:08,640 --> 01:02:13,160
Speaker 2: Jonathan Taylor is the task this week. But logic would

1150
01:02:13,200 --> 01:02:18,080
Speaker 2: say their run game of the Colts might be might

1151
01:02:18,120 --> 01:02:21,520
Speaker 2: have a shorter menu to worry about with Flacco in

1152
01:02:21,600 --> 01:02:24,200
Speaker 2: the game as opposed to Richardson. So how much easier

1153
01:02:24,240 --> 01:02:26,320
Speaker 2: does that make it for the Bills run defense.

1154
01:02:27,240 --> 01:02:29,240
Speaker 12: Well, and plus, it's a totally different run game than

1155
01:02:30,200 --> 01:02:32,480
Speaker 12: the Dolphins. We know with the Dolphins, with their speed,

1156
01:02:32,920 --> 01:02:35,440
Speaker 12: they work the edges. I mean they do that against everybody.

1157
01:02:35,560 --> 01:02:38,040
Speaker 12: And I'm not saying that that means it's okay not

1158
01:02:38,120 --> 01:02:40,760
Speaker 12: to set the edge, but you know, you're dealing with

1159
01:02:40,800 --> 01:02:42,400
Speaker 12: a different kind of run game. When you play the

1160
01:02:42,400 --> 01:02:45,440
Speaker 12: Dolphins the Colts run game, you're one hundred percent right.

1161
01:02:45,440 --> 01:02:48,560
Speaker 12: It's a little more conventional. And certainly with Flacco at quarterback,

1162
01:02:48,800 --> 01:02:50,240
Speaker 12: you know he's going to either be in the gun

1163
01:02:50,320 --> 01:02:52,880
Speaker 12: or under center. It's going to be pretty straightforward. You

1164
01:02:52,920 --> 01:02:55,960
Speaker 12: don't have to worry about playing the quarterback. So you

1165
01:02:55,960 --> 01:02:58,080
Speaker 12: know you're not losing a defender in the run game

1166
01:02:58,120 --> 01:03:01,360
Speaker 12: because of the quarterback run game element. So this is

1167
01:03:01,400 --> 01:03:03,280
Speaker 12: a little different run game. Not that they won't toss

1168
01:03:03,320 --> 01:03:05,880
Speaker 12: it every once in a while, but they'll run mostly inside.

1169
01:03:06,200 --> 01:03:10,280
Speaker 12: You know, it's it's mostly those kinds of runs. So yeah,

1170
01:03:10,320 --> 01:03:13,160
Speaker 12: this is a totally different run game. And I think

1171
01:03:13,160 --> 01:03:15,840
Speaker 12: that the linebackers become really important. I think, you know,

1172
01:03:15,960 --> 01:03:20,320
Speaker 12: it'll be Bernard and Williams playing inside stackbackers. I think

1173
01:03:20,360 --> 01:03:23,760
Speaker 12: those guys become really important. They've got to release double teams.

1174
01:03:23,920 --> 01:03:26,320
Speaker 12: They've got to play downhill, but they've got to play

1175
01:03:26,640 --> 01:03:30,400
Speaker 12: with with sort of some discipline downhill. You don't just

1176
01:03:30,440 --> 01:03:32,760
Speaker 12: fly downhill. But they've got to release double teams. You

1177
01:03:32,800 --> 01:03:36,640
Speaker 12: can't let your tackles just get double teamed. You know,

1178
01:03:36,680 --> 01:03:39,400
Speaker 12: on whether it's zone or gap scheme. You know you've

1179
01:03:39,400 --> 01:03:41,160
Speaker 12: got to release those double teams.

1180
01:03:40,920 --> 01:03:42,600
Speaker 4: When you get into the pass rush. Though, with a

1181
01:03:42,600 --> 01:03:45,320
Speaker 4: guy like Joe Flacco, this is not Lamar, It's not

1182
01:03:45,400 --> 01:03:48,640
Speaker 4: Pat Mahomes. I mean, Joe Flacco's you know where he's

1183
01:03:48,680 --> 01:03:51,600
Speaker 4: gonna be. So you can be I don't know, a

1184
01:03:51,640 --> 01:03:53,560
Speaker 4: little more exotic, right. You don't have to worry about

1185
01:03:53,600 --> 01:03:56,000
Speaker 4: this guy snapping off a twenty five yard run on you,

1186
01:03:56,080 --> 01:03:58,080
Speaker 4: So you can kind of overload and you can do

1187
01:03:58,160 --> 01:04:00,920
Speaker 4: some X stunts and that kind of stuf up front

1188
01:04:01,240 --> 01:04:06,360
Speaker 4: to get after him. And that's kind of what teams do, right. Yeah.

1189
01:04:06,400 --> 01:04:09,320
Speaker 12: I mean again, you're you're you don't have to control

1190
01:04:09,400 --> 01:04:11,160
Speaker 12: your pass rush. It's not one of those where you

1191
01:04:11,200 --> 01:04:13,240
Speaker 12: have to be, you know, discipline the way you think

1192
01:04:13,280 --> 01:04:16,040
Speaker 12: about discipline when you play the mahomes Is or the

1193
01:04:16,240 --> 01:04:19,440
Speaker 12: Lamar's or those those quarterbacks that you know, if they

1194
01:04:19,440 --> 01:04:22,720
Speaker 12: see Elaine, they're gone, you know. So, yeah, you can

1195
01:04:22,760 --> 01:04:25,720
Speaker 12: do more with your rush. I assume that the rookie

1196
01:04:25,760 --> 01:04:27,960
Speaker 12: Concalvis is going to be a left tackle again for

1197
01:04:28,000 --> 01:04:30,440
Speaker 12: the Colts, because I think Raymond's on ir is he not?

1198
01:04:30,520 --> 01:04:30,640
Speaker 7: Now?

1199
01:04:30,680 --> 01:04:32,800
Speaker 2: They said Ryman passed concussion protocol.

1200
01:04:32,840 --> 01:04:37,560
Speaker 12: He is clear, Okay, then he'll play yeah, but although

1201
01:04:37,600 --> 01:04:39,320
Speaker 12: I don't think he's a great I mean, he's obviously

1202
01:04:39,360 --> 01:04:41,720
Speaker 12: their left tackle, but I don't think he's a great

1203
01:04:41,800 --> 01:04:44,280
Speaker 12: left tackle. But that's, you know, again just my sense

1204
01:04:44,320 --> 01:04:47,400
Speaker 12: of tape study. But you know, he's their left tackle,

1205
01:04:47,480 --> 01:04:49,440
Speaker 12: so that means he'll be out there. But yeah, you

1206
01:04:49,440 --> 01:04:51,600
Speaker 12: can do a lot more. And but the one thing

1207
01:04:51,640 --> 01:04:54,040
Speaker 12: you have to, you know, with Flacco, say what you want.

1208
01:04:54,400 --> 01:04:56,640
Speaker 12: He will throw the football now, so you've got to

1209
01:04:56,680 --> 01:04:59,600
Speaker 12: be really careful because he's going to push it down

1210
01:04:59,640 --> 01:05:02,640
Speaker 12: the field. He is not shy about driving that ball

1211
01:05:02,680 --> 01:05:05,160
Speaker 12: down the field. So you know, you don't want this

1212
01:05:05,200 --> 01:05:06,720
Speaker 12: to be one of those games where all of a

1213
01:05:06,800 --> 01:05:09,560
Speaker 12: sudden there's you know, two or three big plays and

1214
01:05:10,080 --> 01:05:11,600
Speaker 12: you feel like, wow, how did that happen?

1215
01:05:12,680 --> 01:05:16,600
Speaker 2: And then with respect to the Colts offense, obviously they

1216
01:05:16,600 --> 01:05:20,320
Speaker 2: felt it necessary to put Flacco in to at least

1217
01:05:20,360 --> 01:05:25,840
Speaker 2: make the offense functional. Right, forty four percent completion percentage

1218
01:05:25,840 --> 01:05:27,560
Speaker 2: from your quarterback is not going to help you win

1219
01:05:27,600 --> 01:05:30,880
Speaker 2: many games, so I get it. At the same time,

1220
01:05:31,000 --> 01:05:36,240
Speaker 2: though Flacco has not lit the world on fire either.

1221
01:05:36,240 --> 01:05:39,240
Speaker 2: They haven't scored over twenty points in a month, and

1222
01:05:40,080 --> 01:05:42,880
Speaker 2: they didn't score an offensive touchdown last week. I realize

1223
01:05:42,920 --> 01:05:45,560
Speaker 2: they're playing a very good defense in Minnesota, but what

1224
01:05:45,640 --> 01:05:48,040
Speaker 2: do you think is plaguing them most from what you've

1225
01:05:48,040 --> 01:05:49,280
Speaker 2: seen on tape, Craig.

1226
01:05:51,960 --> 01:05:53,880
Speaker 12: Well last week, you know, the past game was not

1227
01:05:54,080 --> 01:05:59,240
Speaker 12: particularly good. I think overall, even with Jonathan Taylor, who's,

1228
01:05:59,440 --> 01:06:01,720
Speaker 12: you know, just in terms of traits, a very good back,

1229
01:06:02,080 --> 01:06:04,480
Speaker 12: their run game has been really not what you would

1230
01:06:04,560 --> 01:06:07,800
Speaker 12: expect given Taylor. You know, this is a team, and

1231
01:06:07,840 --> 01:06:11,320
Speaker 12: particularly with Flacco, because he's purely a pocket player, you

1232
01:06:11,520 --> 01:06:14,280
Speaker 12: have to be able to run the ball with commitment

1233
01:06:14,440 --> 01:06:18,080
Speaker 12: and sustain inconsistency. Now that doesn't mean Taylor's got a

1234
01:06:18,160 --> 01:06:21,000
Speaker 12: run for one to eighty, but they've really struggled a

1235
01:06:21,000 --> 01:06:25,200
Speaker 12: bit to run the ball with meaningful consistency. You know,

1236
01:06:25,240 --> 01:06:27,280
Speaker 12: I remember, and it was a few years ago, obviously

1237
01:06:27,280 --> 01:06:29,080
Speaker 12: the year they made the playoffs, and maybe that was

1238
01:06:29,120 --> 01:06:31,440
Speaker 12: a little bit of an aberration, but you know, it

1239
01:06:31,520 --> 01:06:34,280
Speaker 12: seemed that Taylor would get over twenty carries every week.

1240
01:06:35,120 --> 01:06:38,440
Speaker 12: They were able to really sustain their offense running the football.

1241
01:06:38,680 --> 01:06:40,720
Speaker 12: That's the way they have to play offense. It's really

1242
01:06:40,760 --> 01:06:43,520
Speaker 12: the only way they can play offense in order to

1243
01:06:43,560 --> 01:06:46,400
Speaker 12: be successful. And they've not really been able to do that.

1244
01:06:46,840 --> 01:06:49,520
Speaker 12: So you know, I don't know how they'll see it

1245
01:06:49,560 --> 01:06:53,320
Speaker 12: this week against the Bills, And obviously with Pittman out,

1246
01:06:53,960 --> 01:06:57,280
Speaker 12: you know, Piercell will play Mitchell, the rookie'll play downs.

1247
01:06:57,360 --> 01:07:01,560
Speaker 12: Is a really good slot and they move him around

1248
01:07:01,560 --> 01:07:04,680
Speaker 12: a bit. And as I said, Joe will throw the football.

1249
01:07:04,920 --> 01:07:08,520
Speaker 12: But they've not really had any sort of consistent feel

1250
01:07:08,600 --> 01:07:12,200
Speaker 12: to their offense, and it starts for them with the

1251
01:07:12,280 --> 01:07:12,680
Speaker 12: run game.

1252
01:07:13,160 --> 01:07:15,240
Speaker 4: Let me let me ask you. I mean, it's hard

1253
01:07:15,240 --> 01:07:17,560
Speaker 4: to imagine two guys more different in their style of

1254
01:07:17,560 --> 01:07:22,000
Speaker 4: play than Joe Flacco and Anthony Richinson. So what you know,

1255
01:07:22,040 --> 01:07:25,920
Speaker 4: how's the coach, what's their coach? Who's called on the plays?

1256
01:07:25,920 --> 01:07:27,880
Speaker 4: And how different are they from one guy to the other.

1257
01:07:27,920 --> 01:07:29,400
Speaker 4: I mean you had I mean, I know it's only

1258
01:07:29,480 --> 01:07:32,640
Speaker 4: it's been three games for Flacco this season, all right,

1259
01:07:32,960 --> 01:07:36,040
Speaker 4: but I mean maybe you touched on it throughout you

1260
01:07:36,040 --> 01:07:37,880
Speaker 4: know the other answers. What do you think the major

1261
01:07:37,960 --> 01:07:41,960
Speaker 4: differences are for these guys with Joe rather than Anthony.

1262
01:07:42,840 --> 01:07:45,120
Speaker 12: Well, I think when Flacco's there, and and again I

1263
01:07:45,120 --> 01:07:47,880
Speaker 12: think Shane Steiken actually calls the plays, if I'm not mistaken,

1264
01:07:48,840 --> 01:07:51,000
Speaker 12: But I think You're going to the to the drop

1265
01:07:51,080 --> 01:07:53,800
Speaker 12: back section of your playbook, Steve, which you're not going

1266
01:07:53,800 --> 01:07:56,640
Speaker 12: to with Anthony Richardson, because Anthony Richardson at this point

1267
01:07:56,680 --> 01:07:58,560
Speaker 12: in his career, is not a drop back quarterback.

1268
01:07:58,800 --> 01:07:58,960
Speaker 4: You know.

1269
01:07:59,000 --> 01:08:02,320
Speaker 12: Everything with Anthony Richardson has to involve some kind of movement,

1270
01:08:02,520 --> 01:08:05,240
Speaker 12: some kind of run action, some kind of misdirection. With

1271
01:08:05,400 --> 01:08:08,320
Speaker 12: Joe Flacco, you are going to the drop back portion

1272
01:08:08,400 --> 01:08:11,040
Speaker 12: of your playbook. That's what your pass game is now.

1273
01:08:11,320 --> 01:08:13,960
Speaker 12: So now it's different for your old line. You know,

1274
01:08:14,040 --> 01:08:16,840
Speaker 12: people I think automatically assume these things are easy to

1275
01:08:16,920 --> 01:08:19,559
Speaker 12: do in the middle of a season. They're not because

1276
01:08:19,600 --> 01:08:22,800
Speaker 12: now you're playing totally differently. You know, with your old

1277
01:08:22,840 --> 01:08:25,920
Speaker 12: line as well. It's not just the quarterback. It affects

1278
01:08:26,000 --> 01:08:29,160
Speaker 12: everybody in your offense. The routes are different, the old

1279
01:08:29,240 --> 01:08:32,519
Speaker 12: line blocking is different, everything about your offense is different

1280
01:08:32,560 --> 01:08:34,400
Speaker 12: because it's your drop back pass game.

1281
01:08:35,520 --> 01:08:40,080
Speaker 2: And then with respect to the Colts secondary, Greg Young

1282
01:08:40,200 --> 01:08:44,240
Speaker 2: on the outs, Young on the outside, they've been somewhat victimized.

1283
01:08:44,720 --> 01:08:46,800
Speaker 2: The team as a as a whole is giving up

1284
01:08:46,800 --> 01:08:50,679
Speaker 2: a seventy percent completion rate. It's the fourth highest allowed

1285
01:08:50,720 --> 01:08:53,479
Speaker 2: in the league. The two safeties on the back end,

1286
01:08:53,560 --> 01:08:56,559
Speaker 2: and even Kenny Moore, who's a very good slot corner.

1287
01:08:56,720 --> 01:08:59,439
Speaker 2: They're all giving up opponent passer ratings of over one

1288
01:08:59,479 --> 01:09:02,280
Speaker 2: oh four. What is going on there? Are they just

1289
01:09:02,320 --> 01:09:05,160
Speaker 2: not marrying the pass rush with the pass defense?

1290
01:09:06,160 --> 01:09:09,320
Speaker 12: Yeah, well that's part of it. You know, Cross is

1291
01:09:10,479 --> 01:09:13,040
Speaker 12: their strong safety, and he's much better closer to the

1292
01:09:13,080 --> 01:09:16,760
Speaker 12: line of scrimmage than in coverage they're playing with. You know,

1293
01:09:17,000 --> 01:09:19,280
Speaker 12: the Jones kid who started last year as a rookie,

1294
01:09:19,280 --> 01:09:21,559
Speaker 12: and I think he might this year have played every snap.

1295
01:09:21,600 --> 01:09:24,000
Speaker 12: He might be have played one hundred percent of their snaps.

1296
01:09:24,320 --> 01:09:27,360
Speaker 12: I did him coming out, and you know, obviously they

1297
01:09:27,520 --> 01:09:30,120
Speaker 12: view him as worthy of being a starter, but they

1298
01:09:30,120 --> 01:09:32,800
Speaker 12: have some guys who've been injured all year two that

1299
01:09:32,880 --> 01:09:36,160
Speaker 12: were drafted higher. I think Jones is a beatable corner

1300
01:09:36,320 --> 01:09:39,800
Speaker 12: and Womack is now. After the early part of the

1301
01:09:39,840 --> 01:09:42,000
Speaker 12: season when they were rotating a lot at the corner

1302
01:09:42,040 --> 01:09:47,599
Speaker 12: spot opposite Jones in their nickel, Womack has seemingly won

1303
01:09:47,640 --> 01:09:50,519
Speaker 12: that job. He's a very beatable corner as well. So

1304
01:09:50,960 --> 01:09:53,360
Speaker 12: I think they're beatable in the past game, which is

1305
01:09:53,400 --> 01:09:56,120
Speaker 12: going to make this game interesting. From the Bills, perspective,

1306
01:09:56,360 --> 01:10:00,000
Speaker 12: because they're obviously missing Coleman, they could be missing Kooper.

1307
01:10:00,320 --> 01:10:04,120
Speaker 12: They don't really have, you know, the guy. You would think, Okay,

1308
01:10:04,320 --> 01:10:06,240
Speaker 12: let's put this guy on the outside and he's gonna

1309
01:10:06,240 --> 01:10:09,200
Speaker 12: go win. But that's a weakness of their defense because

1310
01:10:09,240 --> 01:10:12,240
Speaker 12: their front's pretty good. You gotta be careful. We talked

1311
01:10:12,280 --> 01:10:15,040
Speaker 12: about Buckner lot too. The rookie is a very good

1312
01:10:15,080 --> 01:10:18,320
Speaker 12: pass rusher and he's shown that this year. He's flashed

1313
01:10:18,320 --> 01:10:21,080
Speaker 12: on tape this year, and they move him around sometimes

1314
01:10:21,080 --> 01:10:22,920
Speaker 12: they use him as a joker where they stand him

1315
01:10:23,000 --> 01:10:25,760
Speaker 12: up and they move him around so they can rush

1316
01:10:25,800 --> 01:10:27,920
Speaker 12: the quarterback. It's on the back end where they've really

1317
01:10:27,920 --> 01:10:28,679
Speaker 12: had a hard time.

1318
01:10:29,240 --> 01:10:31,759
Speaker 4: Well, you look at this team. So they they've struggled

1319
01:10:31,760 --> 01:10:34,719
Speaker 4: with Anthony Richardson under center. Now they've got Joe Flacco

1320
01:10:34,800 --> 01:10:37,320
Speaker 4: in there, They've got Their defense is twenty six in

1321
01:10:37,320 --> 01:10:41,479
Speaker 4: the NFL and yards allowed per game second worst rushing

1322
01:10:41,520 --> 01:10:43,800
Speaker 4: defense in the NFL. They allowed almost one hundred and

1323
01:10:43,800 --> 01:10:47,799
Speaker 4: fifty yards a game and all nine of their games

1324
01:10:48,600 --> 01:10:52,759
Speaker 4: are one score games. Yeah, that to me, it doesn't

1325
01:10:52,760 --> 01:10:55,120
Speaker 4: make money. I mean, they're struggling so much in different

1326
01:10:55,160 --> 01:10:57,360
Speaker 4: areas of their team. But man, nobody runs off and

1327
01:10:57,439 --> 01:10:58,360
Speaker 4: leaves them.

1328
01:10:58,840 --> 01:11:01,600
Speaker 12: No, it's true, and you know that rushing number. I

1329
01:11:01,600 --> 01:11:03,400
Speaker 12: think you have to be careful about that because they

1330
01:11:03,439 --> 01:11:04,639
Speaker 12: do have good players up front.

1331
01:11:04,680 --> 01:11:06,120
Speaker 4: I'm not right. Hey, maybe the.

1332
01:11:06,120 --> 01:11:08,679
Speaker 12: Bills come in and rush for two hundred yards every game.

1333
01:11:08,920 --> 01:11:11,040
Speaker 12: You know, you never know until it's played. But they

1334
01:11:11,080 --> 01:11:13,920
Speaker 12: have good players. I mean, there are two linebackers that

1335
01:11:13,960 --> 01:11:17,439
Speaker 12: play in the nickel. Franklin and Speed are really good players.

1336
01:11:17,600 --> 01:11:20,080
Speaker 12: I mean, Franklin is a tackling machine. He's a really

1337
01:11:20,160 --> 01:11:23,920
Speaker 12: nice player. But the thing about Gus Bradley's defense, and

1338
01:11:23,960 --> 01:11:25,680
Speaker 12: you know, Steve, you know, Gus Bradley's been doing this

1339
01:11:25,720 --> 01:11:28,680
Speaker 12: for a hundred years. He's one of those guys who believes.

1340
01:11:28,920 --> 01:11:32,240
Speaker 12: He's not an exotic guy. He believes you line up,

1341
01:11:32,439 --> 01:11:35,000
Speaker 12: you do the same thing over and over, and this

1342
01:11:35,040 --> 01:11:38,400
Speaker 12: way your players feel super comfortable and they can play fast.

1343
01:11:38,600 --> 01:11:40,640
Speaker 12: That's his belief. And by the way, when you have

1344
01:11:40,720 --> 01:11:43,200
Speaker 12: young players like he has in the secondary, that belief

1345
01:11:43,240 --> 01:11:46,400
Speaker 12: holds even stronger. So he's not a guy you're necessarily

1346
01:11:46,439 --> 01:11:49,479
Speaker 12: going to see a lot of tactics from. They're going

1347
01:11:49,560 --> 01:11:51,840
Speaker 12: to line up and do what they do. There's no

1348
01:11:52,000 --> 01:11:54,600
Speaker 12: mystery to what Gus Bradley does on defense.

1349
01:11:55,080 --> 01:11:57,400
Speaker 2: Right, Greg, thanks as always for the time and the inside.

1350
01:11:57,439 --> 01:11:58,800
Speaker 2: We appreciate it. We'll catch up with it.

1351
01:11:58,760 --> 01:12:01,040
Speaker 12: Next week, all right, guys, appreciate it.

1352
01:12:01,080 --> 01:12:03,320
Speaker 2: Thanks all right, that's great. Co Sales, senior producer from

1353
01:12:03,400 --> 01:12:08,400
Speaker 2: NFL Films and The Bill's Injury Report, Final one of

1354
01:12:08,439 --> 01:12:12,120
Speaker 2: the week is out as expected, Keyon Coleman out for

1355
01:12:12,200 --> 01:12:18,759
Speaker 2: Sunday's game. Questionable, Amari Cooper, Reggie Gilliam and Bayalon Spector,

1356
01:12:18,840 --> 01:12:22,080
Speaker 2: who just got added today presumably sustained a calf injury

1357
01:12:22,120 --> 01:12:26,240
Speaker 2: in practice he was limited today, He too is questionable.

1358
01:12:26,479 --> 01:12:31,080
Speaker 2: The good news is players like Curtis Samuel, Christian Benford,

1359
01:12:31,640 --> 01:12:36,600
Speaker 2: they are fit to play. They have no injury designation whatsoever,

1360
01:12:36,680 --> 01:12:39,759
Speaker 2: so they will be back in the lineup this week.

1361
01:12:40,360 --> 01:12:42,640
Speaker 2: Let's head back to the phones and we go to

1362
01:12:42,680 --> 01:12:44,559
Speaker 2: Butcher on the east Side. What do you got for his?

1363
01:12:44,600 --> 01:12:45,639
Speaker 2: Butcher on One Bill's Live.

1364
01:12:46,520 --> 01:12:48,720
Speaker 16: Thanks so much for taking my call, guys, and I

1365

1367
01:12:55,720 --> 01:12:57,240
Speaker 16: It's a couple of things I wanted to just say.

1368
01:12:57,720 --> 01:12:59,600
Speaker 6: You had to call it earlier that.

1369
01:12:59,760 --> 01:13:02,920
Speaker 16: Was acting about ask Steve about the old players in

1370
01:13:02,920 --> 01:13:06,840
Speaker 16: the nineties compared to the new players, And I'm gonna,

1371
01:13:06,920 --> 01:13:10,120
Speaker 16: I'm gonna, I'm going to disagree reason being and I'm

1372
01:13:10,120 --> 01:13:10,559
Speaker 16: gonna say that.

1373
01:13:10,600 --> 01:13:11,160
Speaker 6: Don't get me wrong.

1374
01:13:11,200 --> 01:13:13,519
Speaker 16: We got to throw back like a Josh Allen who

1375
01:13:13,560 --> 01:13:15,720
Speaker 16: will take a forty three million dollar take, don't worry

1376
01:13:15,720 --> 01:13:18,080
Speaker 16: about what other people get paid to going to the

1377
01:13:18,080 --> 01:13:20,519
Speaker 16: team performing and winning because he cares about the culture

1378
01:13:20,560 --> 01:13:23,400
Speaker 16: and he cares about the organization. But you have players,

1379
01:13:23,439 --> 01:13:25,799
Speaker 16: I'm gonna use this one. You couldn't have a Curtis

1380
01:13:25,800 --> 01:13:28,479
Speaker 16: Smuel with a three year, twenty four million dollar contract

1381
01:13:28,479 --> 01:13:31,679
Speaker 16: with Steve and those guys that's not performing and being

1382
01:13:31,720 --> 01:13:34,000
Speaker 16: okay with it and just not going to going to

1383
01:13:34,040 --> 01:13:36,280
Speaker 16: the front office, to the GMS to listen. You know,

1384
01:13:36,400 --> 01:13:38,920
Speaker 16: I'm taking the money for mister Pagoula, but at the

1385
01:13:38,960 --> 01:13:41,120
Speaker 16: same time, I don't want to make place in this organization.

1386
01:13:41,680 --> 01:13:43,720
Speaker 16: You would he wouldn't. He wouldn't find those guys in

1387
01:13:43,760 --> 01:13:46,160
Speaker 16: Steve's era that do that because they care for for

1388
01:13:46,240 --> 01:13:49,400
Speaker 16: mister Wilson, they care for organization. So I just said

1389
01:13:49,479 --> 01:13:52,080
Speaker 16: I say that to say no, it's a different step

1390
01:13:52,160 --> 01:13:54,200
Speaker 16: and those guys or a different type of culture. They

1391
01:13:54,200 --> 01:13:57,120
Speaker 16: were a different type of player throwback, and these guys

1392
01:13:57,120 --> 01:13:58,759
Speaker 16: are just getting paid and a lot of my comfort

1393
01:13:58,800 --> 01:14:01,519
Speaker 16: we are getting paid and Nick Knack injury, they'll sit down.

1394
01:14:01,680 --> 01:14:04,080
Speaker 16: But anyway, moving forward with my question, I want to say,

1395
01:14:04,920 --> 01:14:08,599
Speaker 16: Brady is going to have to implement something that Steve, Chris,

1396
01:14:08,760 --> 01:14:11,639
Speaker 16: you guys been speaking about for the last few weeks.

1397
01:14:11,840 --> 01:14:14,160
Speaker 16: Is getting the ball to the backs, more screens, draws,

1398
01:14:14,240 --> 01:14:17,960
Speaker 16: this type of thing without having COVID, without having Cooper

1399
01:14:18,400 --> 01:14:20,559
Speaker 16: and and and the on on the on the team.

1400
01:14:20,640 --> 01:14:23,800
Speaker 16: For this particular game coming up, you're gonna have to

1401
01:14:23,840 --> 01:14:25,880
Speaker 16: have a Torelle Shavers that you're gonna have to run

1402
01:14:25,960 --> 01:14:27,719
Speaker 16: plays to him. Just don't have him one to feel

1403
01:14:28,040 --> 01:14:29,600
Speaker 16: going in motion. I'm gonna leave it at that. And

1404
01:14:29,680 --> 01:14:32,160
Speaker 16: the last, but not least, this is for my guy, Steve,

1405
01:14:32,479 --> 01:14:34,679
Speaker 16: and Steve, you and I always go back and forth

1406
01:14:34,720 --> 01:14:36,880
Speaker 16: with it because you said players don't care, and I

1407
01:14:36,880 --> 01:14:38,240
Speaker 16: always always tell you fans do.

1408
01:14:38,800 --> 01:14:39,439
Speaker 14: I got a game.

1409
01:14:39,640 --> 01:14:40,559
Speaker 6: I got a guy.

1410
01:14:40,439 --> 01:14:44,160
Speaker 16: Named Jalen Virgil on his team, and I want to

1411
01:14:44,200 --> 01:14:47,400
Speaker 16: tell if those organizations no way, he should have number

1412
01:14:47,400 --> 01:14:50,519
Speaker 16: eighty nine wearing that jersey. I love you, man, and

1413
01:14:50,600 --> 01:14:50,960
Speaker 16: thanks so.

1414
01:14:51,040 --> 01:14:52,760
Speaker 2: Much, thank you appreciate the call.

1415
01:14:53,200 --> 01:14:56,160
Speaker 4: But they didn't. They didn't retire my jersey. They washed it.

1416
01:14:56,560 --> 01:14:58,960
Speaker 4: That's all. That's I'm good with it. I hope, I

1417
01:14:58,960 --> 01:15:00,960
Speaker 4: hope the kid has a better career than me in

1418
01:15:00,960 --> 01:15:01,559
Speaker 4: that jersey.

1419
01:15:02,160 --> 01:15:05,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, but he's right. I mean, if you're going to

1420
01:15:05,160 --> 01:15:08,160
Speaker 2: be shorthanded, and we don't know that Cooper is down

1421
01:15:08,200 --> 01:15:11,040
Speaker 2: this week, he's questionable. He had a fifty to fifty

1422
01:15:11,040 --> 01:15:13,400
Speaker 2: shot to play last year last week according to coach

1423
01:15:13,479 --> 01:15:17,640
Speaker 2: mc dermott, and it didn't happen. Is he on the

1424
01:15:17,680 --> 01:15:20,320
Speaker 2: better side of fifty to fifty this week? Perhaps we

1425
01:15:20,360 --> 01:15:23,439
Speaker 2: don't know, so we'll have to wait and see what

1426
01:15:23,720 --> 01:15:27,360
Speaker 2: Sunday holds. But if you're down those two guys, it

1427
01:15:27,479 --> 01:15:30,920
Speaker 2: behooves you to take advantage of the most dynamic athletes

1428
01:15:30,960 --> 01:15:35,360
Speaker 2: as your skill positions. If Coleman's not playing and Cooper's

1429
01:15:35,400 --> 01:15:39,280
Speaker 2: not playing, Cook is your most dynamic athlete. I mean,

1430
01:15:39,320 --> 01:15:42,160
Speaker 2: it would behoove you to have a package of plays

1431
01:15:42,160 --> 01:15:44,800
Speaker 2: in for him in the passing game. Even if you

1432
01:15:44,920 --> 01:15:47,320
Speaker 2: want to line him up in the backfield first and

1433
01:15:47,360 --> 01:15:50,120
Speaker 2: then motion him out, that's fine, or just use that

1434
01:15:50,200 --> 01:15:52,799
Speaker 2: burst motion we see now late in the pre snap

1435
01:15:52,880 --> 01:15:57,400
Speaker 2: count anything. I think it would behoove you if you

1436
01:15:57,479 --> 01:16:00,439
Speaker 2: don't have Coleman and you don't have Cooper to utilize

1437
01:16:00,479 --> 01:16:02,519
Speaker 2: him a little bit more as a receiver. And if

1438
01:16:02,560 --> 01:16:04,559
Speaker 2: you want to leave Davis in the backfield for protection

1439
01:16:04,640 --> 01:16:06,320
Speaker 2: at the same time, go ahead and do that. Put

1440
01:16:06,360 --> 01:16:07,719
Speaker 2: them both on the field at the same time.

1441
01:16:08,680 --> 01:16:11,439
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I like, I like where your head's at

1442
01:16:11,479 --> 01:16:14,160
Speaker 4: with you know, let's draw up some creative ways to

1443
01:16:14,240 --> 01:16:19,440
Speaker 4: get Ray Davis and James Cook the ball. Screens, misdirection,

1444
01:16:20,720 --> 01:16:23,000
Speaker 4: that kind of stuff. I mean, this team has. You know,

1445
01:16:23,040 --> 01:16:26,040
Speaker 4: we've all said, we've all seen a struggle to get

1446
01:16:26,040 --> 01:16:28,679
Speaker 4: those misdirection screens that look so nice when they run

1447
01:16:28,680 --> 01:16:31,280
Speaker 4: against you, you know, I mean, yeah, it drives us

1448
01:16:31,280 --> 01:16:33,080
Speaker 4: all crazy when we see a team all of a

1449
01:16:33,080 --> 01:16:34,920
Speaker 4: sudden they drop it off to a running back we

1450
01:16:34,960 --> 01:16:36,800
Speaker 4: all forgot about and so did the defense and he's

1451
01:16:36,840 --> 01:16:38,880
Speaker 4: off and running. We hate that, and we want our

1452
01:16:38,920 --> 01:16:42,600
Speaker 4: team to do that to other teams. I'm with you.

1453
01:16:43,360 --> 01:16:46,519
Speaker 4: It's a chance to get creative with some people that

1454
01:16:47,680 --> 01:16:50,880
Speaker 4: not only do we Buffalo Bill's fans not know about,

1455
01:16:50,880 --> 01:16:54,519
Speaker 4: but neither do the Indianapolis Colts. Curtis Samuel would be

1456
01:16:54,520 --> 01:17:00,559
Speaker 4: a great candidate for that. Ray Davis and James Cook

1457
01:17:00,600 --> 01:17:05,960
Speaker 4: are known commodities, but have they been the engine? You know,

1458
01:17:07,200 --> 01:17:09,120
Speaker 4: Let's give them a chance maybe this week, but I'm

1459
01:17:09,200 --> 01:17:12,320
Speaker 4: with you too, I'd like to see them do some

1460
01:17:12,400 --> 01:17:16,800
Speaker 4: things and explore some opportunities with some different guys. If

1461
01:17:16,800 --> 01:17:19,120
Speaker 4: for the only reason is if you can win this

1462
01:17:19,280 --> 01:17:22,519
Speaker 4: game and you can experiment with those guys about doing

1463
01:17:22,560 --> 01:17:25,000
Speaker 4: some personal stuff, maybe it leads to some bigger things

1464
01:17:25,040 --> 01:17:30,560
Speaker 4: in your offense later on down the road. Desperation breeds creativity,

1465
01:17:31,160 --> 01:17:35,599
Speaker 4: and you know this is your chance. You're down some guys,

1466
01:17:36,760 --> 01:17:40,000
Speaker 4: so you try to be creative in the way you

1467
01:17:40,080 --> 01:17:41,160
Speaker 4: use the guys that are left.

1468
01:17:41,840 --> 01:17:44,759
Speaker 2: Break time for us here when we come back. Plenty

1469
01:17:44,760 --> 01:17:48,840
Speaker 2: more to get to, including Tailgate Friday. What is cooking

1470
01:17:48,960 --> 01:17:52,479
Speaker 2: up in your driveway, your grill, your oven for this

1471
01:17:52,520 --> 01:17:54,760
Speaker 2: away game this week or maybe in the lots out

1472
01:17:54,800 --> 01:17:56,599
Speaker 2: in Indy because we know there's gonna be a healthy

1473
01:17:56,600 --> 01:17:59,040
Speaker 2: contingent of Bills fans out there. Tailgate Friday next year

1474
01:17:59,080 --> 01:18:17,759
Speaker 2: on One Bill's Live Stay with This Tatoe Gate Friday

01:18:17,840 --> 01:18:20,679
Speaker 2: is presented by high Mark, Blue Cross, Blue Shield, high

1476

01:18:23,760 --> 01:18:29,160
Speaker 2: because life. So we gotta take a look here and

Speaker 2: a big chicken skin guys.

1493
01:19:24,560 --> 01:19:26,200
Speaker 4: That's where chickens get fat.

1494
01:19:26,880 --> 01:19:31,519
Speaker 2: Well, right, it's just not my bag. But creative, Elizabeth,

1499
01:19:41,520 --> 01:19:42,400
Speaker 2: in India. I know that.

1500
01:19:42,640 --> 01:19:44,360
Speaker 4: Who cares?

1501
01:19:44,439 --> 01:19:48,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, corn beef and cabbage in November. You don't hear

1502
01:19:48,720 --> 01:19:49,519
Speaker 2: that very often.

1503
01:19:51,320 --> 01:19:54,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's good though, And then appropriate.

1504
01:19:54,320 --> 01:19:57,080
Speaker 2: And then Jack says, heading to Indy for the game

1505
01:19:57,120 --> 01:19:59,240
Speaker 2: with a big group of friends and family, twenty five

1506
01:19:59,320 --> 01:20:03,720
Speaker 2: people or so, found a lot allowing tailgating. So I'm

1507
01:20:03,720 --> 01:20:09,200
Speaker 2: making slow cooker Mississippi pot roast sandwiches and roasted garlic

1508
01:20:09,320 --> 01:20:13,920
Speaker 2: mashed potatoes. Also will have wing dip, our local chip dip,

1509
01:20:14,320 --> 01:20:16,200
Speaker 2: and plenty of Canadian beer.

1510
01:20:16,479 --> 01:20:19,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, you gotta take the Canadian beer with you. I

1511
01:20:19,760 --> 01:20:23,360
Speaker 4: have found that once you get a well state away

1512
01:20:23,400 --> 01:20:25,679
Speaker 4: from the border, yes you can't.

1513
01:20:25,800 --> 01:20:27,400
Speaker 2: Like, if you're in Detroit you can get it.

1514
01:20:27,720 --> 01:20:29,160
Speaker 4: Buffalo you can get it. Yep.

1515
01:20:30,280 --> 01:20:33,120
Speaker 2: I just even in Vermont, New Hampshire.

1516
01:20:34,400 --> 01:20:37,680
Speaker 4: You know, I go home to my home state of Maine, Kansas.

1517
01:20:37,920 --> 01:20:38,680
Speaker 2: Oh, you're out of luck.

1518
01:20:39,040 --> 01:20:42,479
Speaker 4: I was like, you have any kind of Molson blue light?

1519
01:20:42,760 --> 01:20:46,160
Speaker 4: Blue Light? And they're like, what what is that? Yeah? Well,

1520
01:20:46,240 --> 01:20:49,880
Speaker 4: is that a beer? You know what, forget it.

1521
01:20:49,960 --> 01:20:52,000
Speaker 2: You gotta be you gotta be right up there by

1522
01:20:52,040 --> 01:20:52,639
Speaker 2: the What is.

1523
01:20:52,600 --> 01:20:54,960
Speaker 4: That the forty thirty eighth parallel?

1524
01:20:55,320 --> 01:20:56,520
Speaker 2: Is it thirty eighth parallels?

1525
01:20:56,720 --> 01:20:56,800
Speaker 6: No?

1526
01:20:56,880 --> 01:20:58,799
Speaker 4: I think that's that might be Korea.

1527
01:20:59,400 --> 01:21:01,880
Speaker 2: I'm sure I'm a little lax on my my latitude,

1528
01:21:02,520 --> 01:21:06,680
Speaker 2: on my latitude history. Forty fifth parallel, I want to

1529
01:21:06,680 --> 01:21:08,280
Speaker 2: say forty fifth. I'll have to look at it.

1530
01:21:08,360 --> 01:21:10,360
Speaker 4: Somebody will tweet Addison. Yeah, I'm sure they'll tell us

1531
01:21:10,360 --> 01:21:11,920
Speaker 4: how wrong we love making this.

1532
01:21:12,439 --> 01:21:15,760
Speaker 2: But that is Tailgate Friday, so hope you're cooking up

1533
01:21:15,800 --> 01:21:20,320
Speaker 2: some good stuff this weekend. We do have the little

1534
01:21:20,360 --> 01:21:22,519
Speaker 2: time here to get back to the phones once again,

1535
01:21:22,600 --> 01:21:24,600
Speaker 2: so we go to Rick out in California. What do

1536
01:21:24,600 --> 01:21:25,040
Speaker 2: you have for us?

1537
01:21:25,080 --> 01:21:25,280
Speaker 4: Rick?

1538
01:21:26,560 --> 01:21:28,920
Speaker 17: Hey, good afternoon, gentlemen. Thank you so much for taking

1539
01:21:28,920 --> 01:21:32,840
Speaker 17: my call. Sure, yeah, so I gotta I'm really I

1540
01:21:32,880 --> 01:21:35,360
Speaker 17: love how you guys do. Anything's open Fridays because I

1541
01:21:35,400 --> 01:21:39,160
Speaker 17: do have a one of those kinds of questions for you.

1542
01:21:39,240 --> 01:21:43,200
Speaker 17: So in my regards, for example, the Jets game, the

1543
01:21:43,280 --> 01:21:46,360
Speaker 17: Halo Mary pass that Rogers does and for some odd

1544
01:21:46,400 --> 01:21:49,360
Speaker 17: reason has a lot of success with it, I'm wondering,

1545
01:21:49,840 --> 01:21:51,840
Speaker 17: how does it come to be that a hail mary

1546
01:21:51,880 --> 01:21:56,160
Speaker 17: could be successful because let me explain. I understand from

1547
01:21:56,160 --> 01:21:58,880
Speaker 17: an offensive point of view that you got a couple

1548
01:21:58,840 --> 01:22:01,600
Speaker 17: of seconds left and it's a clutch moment. You have

1549
01:22:01,720 --> 01:22:03,320
Speaker 17: to have it to win or goo to overtime. I

1550
01:22:03,360 --> 01:22:07,200
Speaker 17: get that, but so should all the defenses, right, So

1551
01:22:08,120 --> 01:22:11,400
Speaker 17: my question is how come we always play the preventive

1552
01:22:11,439 --> 01:22:13,599
Speaker 17: play and send everybody back to the end zone and

1553
01:22:14,280 --> 01:22:16,639
Speaker 17: let the quarterback have it just to set up Davins

1554
01:22:16,680 --> 01:22:19,400
Speaker 17: throw the pass? Right? Like, how come we don't treat

1555
01:22:19,479 --> 01:22:22,360
Speaker 17: that as like a second and four or a third

1556
01:22:22,360 --> 01:22:25,880
Speaker 17: and one, you know, and ten six to the quarterback

1557
01:22:25,920 --> 01:22:28,080
Speaker 17: and drop back five and protect the path in case

1558
01:22:28,080 --> 01:22:30,559
Speaker 17: it does get off, you know, But why do we

1559
01:22:30,680 --> 01:22:33,639
Speaker 17: let the quarterback have any time at all to set

1560
01:22:33,720 --> 01:22:36,839
Speaker 17: up the path for a hail mary? It's always bugged

1561
01:22:36,840 --> 01:22:37,519
Speaker 17: me like that.

1562
01:22:37,479 --> 01:22:38,120
Speaker 14: You know what I mean.

1563
01:22:38,360 --> 01:22:42,120
Speaker 2: It's a valid question, and not everybody plays it that way.

1564
01:22:42,160 --> 01:22:44,280
Speaker 2: I know the Detroit Lions for a fact, whenever there's

1565
01:22:44,280 --> 01:22:48,479
Speaker 2: a hail mary situation, they rush five, so it's five

1566
01:22:48,560 --> 01:22:50,920
Speaker 2: versus five, and they believe they can get somebody home

1567
01:22:51,560 --> 01:22:54,559
Speaker 2: on a quarterback on a long developing play, and more

1568
01:22:54,560 --> 01:22:56,439
Speaker 2: often than not they do, and they sack them and

1569
01:22:56,520 --> 01:22:58,360
Speaker 2: in the game. And I would be a proponent of

1570
01:22:58,360 --> 01:22:58,960
Speaker 2: that approach.

1571
01:23:00,000 --> 01:23:03,880
Speaker 4: One of the problems is this if and I'll say

1572
01:23:03,920 --> 01:23:06,880
Speaker 4: this too, they'll check out of it. What will happen

1573
01:23:07,000 --> 01:23:10,200
Speaker 4: is quarterback will check out of the hail mary. Run

1574
01:23:10,240 --> 01:23:11,720
Speaker 4: a guy in a deep cross, he'll hit him on

1575
01:23:11,760 --> 01:23:14,320
Speaker 4: the deep cross. And then you got an elite athlete

1576
01:23:14,640 --> 01:23:16,720
Speaker 4: and there's not that many guys back there to help him,

1577
01:23:16,760 --> 01:23:18,680
Speaker 4: and then you can start they'll start lading it and

1578
01:23:18,680 --> 01:23:22,960
Speaker 4: they can you know, hail whatever. And if in giving

1579
01:23:23,080 --> 01:23:25,400
Speaker 4: the time being that what it is, they could they

1580
01:23:25,400 --> 01:23:27,200
Speaker 4: could run out of bounds and get a field goal.

1581
01:23:27,240 --> 01:23:28,760
Speaker 4: All of that stuff is in play as well. But

1582
01:23:29,320 --> 01:23:33,360
Speaker 4: you're right, here's and here's what it like the way

1583
01:23:33,439 --> 01:23:36,320
Speaker 4: the Bills set up at halftime of the Jet game

1584
01:23:36,520 --> 01:23:39,879
Speaker 4: that allowed Rogers to hit that hail mary. They invited

1585
01:23:39,960 --> 01:23:43,640
Speaker 4: the hail mary because that's that's the lowest percentage there

1586
01:23:43,720 --> 01:23:45,760
Speaker 4: was time on the clock. So if they ran an

1587
01:23:45,760 --> 01:23:48,679
Speaker 4: out route and got it, the clock would have stopped

1588
01:23:48,680 --> 01:23:49,960
Speaker 4: with a second left and they could have got a

1589
01:23:49,960 --> 01:23:52,559
Speaker 4: field goal. So they said, forget that, let's take our

1590
01:23:52,640 --> 01:23:54,160
Speaker 4: chance on the hail mary. And of course it blew

1591
01:23:54,240 --> 01:23:57,880
Speaker 4: up in their face. Aaron checked to it, and the

1592
01:23:57,880 --> 01:24:00,880
Speaker 4: Bills knew he was gonna check to it. So they

1593
01:24:00,920 --> 01:24:02,760
Speaker 4: can check in and out of that Hail Mary as

1594
01:24:02,760 --> 01:24:04,800
Speaker 4: well if they see something they can get that will

1595
01:24:04,800 --> 01:24:06,680
Speaker 4: help them. So you got to put that in the

1596
01:24:06,720 --> 01:24:08,920
Speaker 4: equation as well. But I'm with you. Anything, make the

1597
01:24:08,960 --> 01:24:11,000
Speaker 4: guy throw it, right, make the guy throw.

1598
01:24:10,800 --> 01:24:12,599
Speaker 17: It, And I would, I would. I would definitely love

1599
01:24:12,640 --> 01:24:15,559
Speaker 17: to take my chances with the lateral play. Then you know,

1600
01:24:15,640 --> 01:24:19,120
Speaker 17: let Rogers have any chance at all for a hail Mary.

1601
01:24:19,200 --> 01:24:21,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I would too, particularly when you got five

1602
01:24:22,120 --> 01:24:26,000
Speaker 4: five offensive linemen out there, who you know, they're not

1603
01:24:26,080 --> 01:24:30,600
Speaker 4: gonna outrun anybody, right, So right, so you've got you

1604
01:24:30,600 --> 01:24:33,320
Speaker 4: should have more athletes out there than the than the defense.

1605
01:24:36,600 --> 01:24:39,840
Speaker 17: But no, so yeah, and that's all I'm saying. I'm thinking,

1606
01:24:39,960 --> 01:24:42,599
Speaker 17: hopefully if Dorman's listening, I know he has a couple

1607
01:24:42,680 --> 01:24:44,439
Speaker 17: of off coaching moments here and there. You know, God

1608
01:24:44,479 --> 01:24:46,320
Speaker 17: bless him. I still love the guy. I don't want

1609
01:24:46,360 --> 01:24:48,560
Speaker 17: another head coach at all, but I just want to

1610
01:24:48,560 --> 01:24:51,080
Speaker 17: when when it comes to hail mary's or clutch moment

1611
01:24:51,120 --> 01:24:54,040
Speaker 17: plays like that, Buffalo always seems to get the short

1612
01:24:54,120 --> 01:24:56,280
Speaker 17: end of the stick, or put their foot in their mouth,

1613
01:24:56,360 --> 01:24:58,759
Speaker 17: or you know, just trip over their own feet sometimes

1614
01:24:58,800 --> 01:25:01,439
Speaker 17: like that, and I'll just that hail mary play. If

1615
01:25:01,439 --> 01:25:04,000
Speaker 17: we could have just send five people like you're saying there, Steve,

1616
01:25:05,040 --> 01:25:06,920
Speaker 17: there will never be a chance for a hail mary

1617
01:25:07,040 --> 01:25:07,879
Speaker 17: on us anymore.

1618
01:25:08,360 --> 01:25:08,960
Speaker 13: You know what I mean.

1619
01:25:09,200 --> 01:25:12,240
Speaker 4: I get you, I get you. And if it is

1620
01:25:12,280 --> 01:25:13,880
Speaker 4: straight if it is, and I get it too. If

1621
01:25:13,880 --> 01:25:16,160
Speaker 4: it is, it's just a straight out hail Mary or nothing.

1622
01:25:16,200 --> 01:25:18,559
Speaker 4: There's no chance for a quick out to get into

1623
01:25:18,600 --> 01:25:21,240
Speaker 4: field goal range that kind of thing. I'm all for it.

1624
01:25:21,280 --> 01:25:25,200
Speaker 4: Put in fact, you know, the big thing is put offensive.

1625
01:25:25,240 --> 01:25:28,000
Speaker 4: Got put six five tight ends back there who can

1626
01:25:28,040 --> 01:25:30,599
Speaker 4: out jump any receiver or just have a big table,

1627
01:25:31,080 --> 01:25:35,040
Speaker 4: or or for goodness sake, Greg Rousseau, put a guy

1628
01:25:35,080 --> 01:25:38,120
Speaker 4: back there that's six seven who can just bat the

1629
01:25:38,160 --> 01:25:40,240
Speaker 4: thing out the back of the end zone, get underneath

1630
01:25:40,280 --> 01:25:42,800
Speaker 4: it and box guys out and send up five other

1631
01:25:42,840 --> 01:25:45,960
Speaker 4: guys up there. And also offensively. We had a caller

1632
01:25:46,000 --> 01:25:47,600
Speaker 4: about this earlier in the thing. There's a lot of

1633
01:25:47,760 --> 01:25:52,360
Speaker 4: you can be creative, but so on offense, have five

1634
01:25:53,200 --> 01:25:58,240
Speaker 4: dbs and wide receivers come in, declare ineligible and once

1635
01:25:58,280 --> 01:26:02,000
Speaker 4: the ball is thrown, you got eleven athletes on the field. Offensively,

1636
01:26:02,040 --> 01:26:04,040
Speaker 4: you can start later on that thing around and then

1637
01:26:04,640 --> 01:26:06,680
Speaker 4: the defense does have some problems if they've got some

1638
01:26:06,680 --> 01:26:07,960
Speaker 4: big d lineman chasing them.

1639
01:26:08,280 --> 01:26:10,120
Speaker 2: Let's go to Jim and Angelica. What do you got

1640
01:26:10,120 --> 01:26:10,360
Speaker 2: for us?

1641
01:26:10,439 --> 01:26:10,960
Speaker 4: Jim?

1642
01:26:11,880 --> 01:26:12,560
Speaker 8: Oh?

1643
01:26:12,600 --> 01:26:15,160
Speaker 7: I got to the game Sunday, first time since Jim

1644
01:26:15,200 --> 01:26:19,560
Speaker 7: Gully played Wow, thanks to my son and daughter in

1645
01:26:19,640 --> 01:26:22,800
Speaker 7: law giving me a birthday present early. And it was

1646
01:26:22,840 --> 01:26:27,160
Speaker 7: a fantastic game. And I was sitting right there at

1647
01:26:26,840 --> 01:26:30,920
Speaker 7: that the Bills end zone and I heard mister Bass

1648
01:26:31,040 --> 01:26:33,080
Speaker 7: hit that ball and I said to my son, he's

1649
01:26:33,120 --> 01:26:35,639
Speaker 7: gonna make it, and sure enough he did. So it's

1650
01:26:35,680 --> 01:26:37,200
Speaker 7: been a fantastic week for me.

1651
01:26:37,560 --> 01:26:40,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, awesome. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Jim. The sound

1652
01:26:40,880 --> 01:26:42,280
Speaker 2: of it right off his foot.

1653
01:26:42,200 --> 01:26:44,320
Speaker 4: And up to that, I say this too. I said

1654
01:26:44,320 --> 01:26:45,920
Speaker 4: it earlier in the week when he hit it. I

1655
01:26:46,280 --> 01:26:51,000
Speaker 4: listened to it again. Both Brownie and Kevin Harlan knew

1656
01:26:51,080 --> 01:26:52,960
Speaker 4: as soon as it left his foot, before it was

1657
01:26:53,000 --> 01:26:55,160
Speaker 4: halfway there, they both knew Man he had the leg

1658
01:26:55,240 --> 01:26:57,080
Speaker 4: to get it there. It was the only question was

1659
01:26:57,080 --> 01:26:58,880
Speaker 4: was it between the uprights and it was right down

1660
01:26:58,920 --> 01:27:02,639
Speaker 4: the pipe. Uh, you can blister that? He yeah, he

1661
01:27:02,760 --> 01:27:06,719
Speaker 4: thumped it, and before the ball was halfway to the goalpost,

1662
01:27:06,840 --> 01:27:08,880
Speaker 4: everybody in the stadium knew it was long enough.

1663
01:27:10,000 --> 01:27:11,960
Speaker 2: Break time for us. Here one segment to go on

01:27:53,920 --> 01:27:56,240
Speaker 6: don't think I'm smarter than any NFL coaches here, but

1675
01:27:57,640 --> 01:27:59,640
Speaker 6: I remember I think it was last year in the

1676
01:28:00,080 --> 01:28:04,040
Speaker 6: playoff game against the Bengals, they had Dave Davis on

1677
01:28:04,080 --> 01:28:06,080
Speaker 6: the field for hail mary at the end of the

1678
01:28:06,080 --> 01:28:10,680
Speaker 6: second half. We've seen enough of these hail mary's or

1679
01:28:10,720 --> 01:28:13,599
Speaker 6: hail mary as plays get converted against us. Why aren't

1680
01:28:13,600 --> 01:28:15,479
Speaker 6: we putting at least one or two receivers in the

1681
01:28:15,560 --> 01:28:18,960
Speaker 6: end zone during plays like this, when we have.

1682
01:28:19,680 --> 01:28:22,840
Speaker 4: Yeah in the line, Yeah, yeah, I'll say this, and

1683
01:28:22,880 --> 01:28:27,160
Speaker 4: I'll say this too, John, thanks for the call. We

1684
01:28:27,200 --> 01:28:29,280
Speaker 4: always say hail mary this. Then we think they're all

1685
01:28:29,320 --> 01:28:32,599
Speaker 4: exactly the same. They're not. Sometimes it's a hail mary

1686
01:28:32,680 --> 01:28:34,800
Speaker 4: or nothing. Other times you've got to guard against a

1687
01:28:34,880 --> 01:28:37,479
Speaker 4: quick out for a field goal position, that kind of stuff.

1688
01:28:37,520 --> 01:28:39,679
Speaker 4: Other times there's too much time left on the clock.

1689
01:28:40,439 --> 01:28:42,760
Speaker 4: That's all in the mix. So if there's a if

1690
01:28:42,760 --> 01:28:45,160
Speaker 4: there's a defensive play that needs to be made, then

1691
01:28:45,240 --> 01:28:47,040
Speaker 4: you don't know for sure that they're gonna throw the

1692
01:28:47,040 --> 01:28:50,600
Speaker 4: hail mary. You don't put a receiver on the field.

1693
01:28:50,920 --> 01:28:53,840
Speaker 4: Other than that, you do, you put a guy out

1694
01:28:53,880 --> 01:28:56,840
Speaker 4: there who's good at it, who's got ball skills, or

1695
01:28:56,880 --> 01:29:01,599
Speaker 4: who's big and rangey and can knock it down. You

1696
01:29:01,600 --> 01:29:04,040
Speaker 4: can look across the league, back at the Miami Miracle

1697
01:29:04,080 --> 01:29:07,240
Speaker 4: when they beat the Patriots on a last second thing.

1698
01:29:07,320 --> 01:29:11,160
Speaker 4: Gronk was back there to guard against a hail mary. Well,

1699
01:29:11,439 --> 01:29:14,000
Speaker 4: they threw it short, he got caught, he can't pursue,

1700
01:29:14,439 --> 01:29:18,000
Speaker 4: he slow took a bad angle touchdown. They lose. That's

1701
01:29:18,000 --> 01:29:19,439
Speaker 4: the kind of thing that happens to you when you

1702
01:29:19,479 --> 01:29:21,639
Speaker 4: start tinkering around with that kind of stuff, because every

1703
01:29:21,720 --> 01:29:23,280
Speaker 4: hail Mary is not created equal.

1704
01:29:23,520 --> 01:29:25,639
Speaker 2: I will listen to having Mac Collins in the end zone,

1705
01:29:25,640 --> 01:29:28,040
Speaker 2: though at six foot five, wouldn't mind him up there.

1706
01:29:28,840 --> 01:29:30,479
Speaker 2: I'm ke with a thirty eight inch.

1707
01:29:30,400 --> 01:29:34,599
Speaker 4: Vertical Kinkaid and Knox they're six fivers.

1708
01:29:34,760 --> 01:29:35,599
Speaker 2: Yeah, I get it.

1709
01:29:35,640 --> 01:29:37,280
Speaker 4: And you don't even want them to You don't. You

1710
01:29:37,280 --> 01:29:39,400
Speaker 4: don't need them to catch at how many times we have.

1711
01:29:39,360 --> 01:29:42,599
Speaker 2: To say that, let's knock it down. Just please knock

1712
01:29:42,640 --> 01:29:47,000
Speaker 2: it down. Please enjoy the game. On Sunday, everybody, Steve

1713
