00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:38,840
Speaker 1: This One Bill's Live presented by Kalida Health.

2
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:45,199
Speaker 2: Welllcome to a Buffalo victory Monday. It days good. Give

3
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:47,640
Speaker 2: me some more of that. Chris Brown Steve Tasker with

4
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 2: you on the heels of a resounding thirty eight to

5
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 2: ten victory by the Bills over the Las Vegas Raiders.

6
00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:58,640
Speaker 2: I was just happy. I got through the whole weekend

7
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 2: without one saying Oakland.

8
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 3: That was good.

9
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:05,200
Speaker 2: I was pretty happy about that.

10
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 4: Do you think the younger generation actually even how they

11
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:10,040
Speaker 4: think we're all weird? Yeah, they're like, what are you

12
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 4: talking about? Yeah, it's like me telling young kids I

13
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 4: got drafted by the Houston Oilers in the NFL.

14
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 2: They're like, what is that an AFLs texansdy.

15
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, that's the way it is. You show your

16
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 4: age sometimes that's right.

17
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:28,760
Speaker 2: But it was a convincing win, a great bounce back win,

18
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:35,039
Speaker 2: complimentary football to the hilt, high degree of efficiency on

19
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 2: the offensive side of the ball and on defense for

20
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 2: that matter. You know, everybody's talking about how the offense

21
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 2: bounce back in the game that Josh had and we'll

22
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 2: talk about all of that. That's great, you know, it

23
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:46,959
Speaker 2: was fantastic. I thought the offensive line had a great

24
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 2: day all the way across the front, short yardage, pass protection,

25
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 2: firing off the ball, resetting the line of scrimmage, all

26
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 2: of the opening holes in the run game. They did

27
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 2: a great job too. But the defense, in addition to

28
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 2: the three takeaways, which is the obvious headliner, Steve, the

29
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 2: Raiders had one possession of their nine that lasted more

30
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 2: than five plays.

31
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 4: One.

32
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:17,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, one possession. I think it was a ten play drive.

33
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 2: I think it was the field goal drive. Other than that,

34
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 2: they had no possession that lasted more than five plays.

35
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 3: Yeah.

36
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:28,240
Speaker 4: It was interesting too because the Raiders came out and

37
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 4: we all saw it.

38
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:30,640
Speaker 3: It was it was like, uh oh kind of thing.

39
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 4: They came out in the opening drive. Yeah, they came

40
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 4: out and smoked it. I mean there was a five place,

41
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 4: seventy five yard drive for a touchdown and it was

42
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 4: it was fifteen plays play, fifteen yards per play, and

43
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:45,520
Speaker 4: it looked it and it was it looked like, wow,

44
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:46,800
Speaker 4: this is going to be a long afternoon. But then

45
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 4: after that first drive, adjustments were adjustments were made. Perhaps

46
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:53,679
Speaker 4: the preparation of the Raiders only went five or ten

47
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 4: plays deep into their script and that's all they had

48
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 4: scripted out and everything else was going to be free

49
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:01,080
Speaker 4: wheeling kind of see how the game progressed, and it

50
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:04,640
Speaker 4: did not progress well From that point, the Bill stuffed

51
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:08,919
Speaker 4: him pretty good. Josh Jacobs, as you probably heard, Josh Jacobs,

52
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 4: the reigning NFL rushing champ, minus two yards on the day.

53
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 4: I mean, what a day he had. I mean, oh

54
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 4: my goodness.

55
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:18,920
Speaker 2: The Sports Bureau said he is the first defending rushing

56
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 2: champion to come out of a game the following season

57
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 2: with negative rushing yardage at the end of the game

58
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 2: since the nineteen seventy merger. That's how rare yesterday was

59
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 2: from a run defense.

60
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 4: Bill's had a lot of tackles for loss. Their defense

61
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 4: played extremely well. What are and I guess after two

62
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 4: weeks you can kind of ask the question, what are

63
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 4: we starting to notice about the defense under Sean McDermott

64
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 4: that wasn't present in years past.

65
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 2: There's a little bit of exotic play calls mixed in there,

66
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 2: not to not overwhelmingly so, but I think there were

67
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 2: a couple of times where you saw either a blocking

68
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 2: assignment missed on a blitz or Garoppolo crossed up by

69
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 2: the coverage on the back end where he was kind

70
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 2: of getting the happy feet, and he was darting around

71
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 2: like this, And I think that's what McDermott's scheming brings

72
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 2: to the table. Even though the majority of the time,

73
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:22,479
Speaker 2: you know, the Bills are lining up in nickel, which

74
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:24,719
Speaker 2: they got back to more. There was less big nickel

75
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,920
Speaker 2: yesterday than there was last week, and there was even

76
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 2: they did mix in a little three linebacker base here

77
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:35,599
Speaker 2: and there. But when they were in their nickel, as

78
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 2: they have been for the better part of the last

79
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 2: two or three years, it wasn't the same look all

80
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:44,239
Speaker 2: the time. People were coming from different places, zone blitzes,

81
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 2: people were dropping out, And I think they're harder to

82
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 2: game plan for now, this Bill's defense than maybe in

83
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:53,040
Speaker 2: years past.

84
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, and you say, well, why didn't they do that before?

85
00:04:56,360 --> 00:05:00,119
Speaker 4: There's two sides to every coin, and before while they

86
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:04,279
Speaker 4: they might have been easy to prepare for, the guys

87
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 4: who've played in the back end of that defense and

88
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 4: the front two.

89
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:11,040
Speaker 3: Have seen so much out of the exact same look.

90
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:14,719
Speaker 4: They know where an offense tries to attack them, They're

91
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 4: aware of their vulnerabilities, they know what other teams see

92
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,280
Speaker 4: when you play that same kind of look all the time,

93
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:24,720
Speaker 4: and so you get very a bit better and better

94
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,720
Speaker 4: at anticipating what they're gonna do. When you get a

95
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 4: little more exotic, then it becomes a little bit more

96
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 4: of a dice roll.

97
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 5: Right.

98
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:32,839
Speaker 3: There's once in a while where.

99
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:35,359
Speaker 4: Either side, either the defense because of its call or

100
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:38,159
Speaker 4: the offense because of its call, can get you right.

101
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,920
Speaker 2: And I think we also have to remember too that

102
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 2: with Buffalo so successful in neutralizing the Raiders' run game,

103
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:48,599
Speaker 2: they set themselves up to get exotic calls from their

104
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:53,360
Speaker 2: defensive coordinator Sean McDermott because they were in third and nine,

105
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 2: third and eleven, third and seven. All of those situations

106
00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 2: kept cropping up for the Raiders because the Bills were

107
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 2: so good in the run front on first and second down.

108
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:07,679
Speaker 2: And here's the other thing that I liked. Steve first

109
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 2: drive of the game for the Raiders. First down at

110
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 2: Oliver blows it up, destroys Greg van Rot and runs

111
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 2: him into the running back Jacobs's drop for Alart right

112
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:18,919
Speaker 2: out of the gate. It's second and twelve and the

113
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 2: Bills are like loaded for bear. They come screaming up

114
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 2: the field and get nailed on a screen for a

115
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 2: first down, and I was like, okay, they tested you

116
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:31,599
Speaker 2: to see if you fix this from last week, and

117
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 2: you didn't, that's right, you better fix it fast, and

118
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 2: the Bills did. They did give up a receiver screen

119
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 2: on that same drive to DeVante Adams, but after that

120
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:44,479
Speaker 2: they kind of covered up the screen game a whole

121
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 2: lot better and they didn't fall for Hey, lork, here's

122
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 2: Garoppolo on a silver platter. The alarm bells went off

123
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 2: and they're like, oh, there's another screen coming somewhere, and

124
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 2: they kind of neutralized that the rest of the way.

125
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:55,120
Speaker 4: I told you.

126
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 3: You saw what I told you about.

127
00:06:56,560 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 4: The first touchdown for the Raiders, right illegal play, Yes,

128
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 4: it was an illegal play. DeVante Adams caught the ball

129
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:06,719
Speaker 4: a yard down the field and he had two offensive

130
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 4: linemen that were three yards down the field. They were

131
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 4: down the field illegally on that play. It was a

132
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 4: screen pass and the lineman released and he caught the

133
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 4: ball pass the line scrimmage. It was should have been

134
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 4: a penalty, no call turned into a touchdown on the

135
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 4: way we went and the game turned.

136
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 3: Out like what it was.

137
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 4: But nevertheless, I saw it on the I saw it

138
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 4: on the broadcast, and I was surprised nobody brought it

139
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 4: up and maybe it's me maybe it isn't an illegal play.

140
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 2: Well, you have any two ineligible linemen down field when

141
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,239
Speaker 2: the when the play is executed, I mean one guy's

142
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 2: four yards down the field, the other guy's three yards

143
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 2: down the field. You showed it to me on the

144
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 2: replay of the broadcast copy.

145
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 4: L But anyway, they still the drive was impressive, and

146
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 4: they finished it off with that screen pass to Devontae Adams.

147
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 3: A little bit of.

148
00:07:54,920 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 4: That going around the NFL officiating controversies. I suppose you

149
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 4: could say there was a one in the Monday night

150
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 4: game last night or Sunday night game last night. The Patriots,

151
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 4: at the end of the game less than a minute

152
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 4: to goo gets sicky, laterals it to Cole Strange, who

153
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 4: looks like he goes ahead and gets the first down

154
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 4: on a fourth down conversion.

155
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:20,239
Speaker 3: They replay it call him short.

156
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 4: It seemed to me he was short. I don't you know.

157
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 4: We don't have any skin in that game. Patriots Dolphins.

158
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 4: Who cares who wins. We got to play both of

159
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:33,320
Speaker 4: them anyway and take care of business ourselves, So it

160
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 4: really doesn't matter in the big scheme of things. You

161
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 4: can say what you want about the Dolphins going to

162
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 4: and Ozho and who cares? So I really don't have

163
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 4: any and it looked like he was short to me.

164
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 4: But there was a lot of a lot of blowback

165
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:49,840
Speaker 4: on social media about how you know and everybody. I

166
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 4: don't buy the rationale that, hey, you know, that's that's

167
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 4: crazy to make that call right there. You should let

168
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 4: him play, let the game. No, if the guy's down,

169
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:01,959
Speaker 4: he's down. You don't get it like, no, let's see

170
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 4: how this plays it. No, you've been on we've you've

171
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 4: been on the wrong side of that both ways. Yeah,

172
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 4: you don't do no. If the rule is the rule,

173
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:15,199
Speaker 4: the guy was down, he was down short, that he's down. Now,

174
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:18,839
Speaker 4: there are other things going on too where even in

175
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:22,679
Speaker 4: the game yesterday, the first Bill's touchdown got set up

176
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:24,839
Speaker 4: by a pass interference call in the left corner of

177
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:27,560
Speaker 4: the end zone as the offense looks at it, and

178
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 4: I thought it was a coin flip. Bill's got the

179
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 4: benefit of that, Steph Diggs getting guarded by I can't

180
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:39,320
Speaker 4: remember Marcus Peters and it was he and it was

181
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:41,600
Speaker 4: I thought it was a coin flip call. Bill's get

182
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 4: it first and goal on the one touchdown. You know,

183
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 4: next series. Right after that, Benford is guarding Davante Adams.

184
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:54,600
Speaker 4: They get tangled up. He goes up, catches it, Benford

185
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 4: takes him out of bounds. Note they call it a reception.

186
00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 4: It was not a reception. You could tell right away.

187
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 2: Radio down to the ref.

188
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 4: And they threw a flag for pass interference. They picked

189
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:08,560
Speaker 4: that flag up and it was an incompletionen.

190
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 3: It could not have gone better for Buffalo.

191
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 4: So, yeah, that there there have been some There was

192
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 4: some controversy all around the national foot and there were

193
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 4: other instances too in the afternoon games, in the four

194
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 4: o'clock games as well, whereas like the Washington and the

195
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 4: Washington and Denver came. Yeah, there's some crazy stuff going on.

196
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:33,680
Speaker 4: But you know, for the for the most part, I

197
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 4: thought it was a really fun weekend of football all

198
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:36,960
Speaker 4: the way. And of course, you know, being here in

199
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 4: Buffalo was a blast.

200
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, you mentioned Washington. Buffalo's next opponent, the Commanders, who

201
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 2: the Bills will face on the road in week three.

202
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 2: They are very quietly two and oh as they held

203
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 2: on for victory by the skin of their teeth because

204
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:56,560
Speaker 2: the Broncos were threatening to tie the game at the

205
00:10:56,640 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 2: very end. No time on the clock, fifty yard touchdown

206
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:06,560
Speaker 2: pass from Russell Wilson and it goes in the end zone.

207
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 2: They go for the two point conversion to tie the

208
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:11,200
Speaker 2: game and it fails, and Washington is that.

209
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:14,560
Speaker 4: Should have been a penalty on the two point conversion. Yeah,

210
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:15,080
Speaker 4: that should have been.

211
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:18,839
Speaker 2: That's a classic ref swallow the whistle moment. Yeah, ever

212
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 2: there was one.

213
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 4: I'll sell you what that's to me. That should be

214
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 4: an absolute coaching thing and a fourth down play game

215
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 4: on the line of stuff. They're not going to tell

216
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 4: your defense. Who was ever on defense? I think has

217
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:32,320
Speaker 4: the advantage because they will They are really reticent to

218
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 4: call any penalties in that situation.

219
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 2: Be a little bit more aggressive.

220
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:37,559
Speaker 4: Baltimore Ravens have always been good at that. When when

221
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:40,719
Speaker 4: they had Ray Lewis all through the late nineties and

222
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 4: all through the.

223
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 2: Two thousand, first and goal at the one aggressive.

224
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:49,440
Speaker 4: Absolutely dare them to throw the ultra aggressive, ultra aggressive.

225
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:51,559
Speaker 2: Because the worst thing they do is give them the penalty.

226
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:54,720
Speaker 2: It's a half yard and yeah, it's first down again,

227
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:55,679
Speaker 2: but they didn't score.

228
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:56,440
Speaker 4: Let's go.

229
00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll take my chances.

230
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:01,600
Speaker 2: And that's and that's only if they call penalty.

231
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 4: I'm telling you it's an absolutely, it's absolutely a strategy

232
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:06,800
Speaker 4: and Washington used it to their advantage yesterday and being

233
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:09,080
Speaker 4: ultra aggressive in the end zone on a two point

234
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 4: conversion to tie the game.

235
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:12,319
Speaker 2: They did give up some big plays that Hail Mary

236
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 2: for a fifty yard touchdown right at the end of

237
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:17,559
Speaker 2: the game. They also gave up a sixty yard touchdown

238
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 2: pass to Marvin Mims early in that game. So you

239
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 2: wonder if there are big play opportunities for the Bills

240
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:26,520
Speaker 2: this week. We'll see the.

241
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 4: Denver Broncos jumped out to a big lead in that game,

242
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:35,040
Speaker 4: twenty one to three, and Washington walked them down and

243
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:38,640
Speaker 4: reeled them in and got the lead. So something changed

244
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 4: there in that game. Sean Payton still trying to get

245
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 4: a win, well, yeah, trying to get a win as

246
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 4: his first year in Denver. But they do look better

247
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:50,439
Speaker 4: than they did a year ago.

248
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 3: I will say that.

249
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, if they were down twenty one to

250
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 2: three last year, chock it up as an olt.

251
00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 4: Well, Denver wasn't down twenty one to three, didn't they have.

252
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:02,319
Speaker 2: Oh yeah right?

253
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:02,680
Speaker 3: Yeah?

254
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:03,839
Speaker 4: Washing it backward?

255
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 3: They came out like a house on fire.

256
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:08,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then they had to climb back into it

257
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:12,240
Speaker 2: at the very end and did so. Yeah, Russell Wilson

258
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 2: is looking more like old Russell Wilson. He was really

259
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:19,800
Speaker 2: conservative in week one, but opened it up considerably more

260
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 2: in week two. And you know, you put thirty three

261
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:24,320
Speaker 2: on the board. That should be enough for you. But

262
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 2: it wasn't to win that football game against Washington. So

263
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:31,560
Speaker 2: it's the two and zero Commanders against the one to

264
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:36,080
Speaker 2: one Bills this coming Sunday down in the Nation's Capital.

265
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:41,240
Speaker 2: But we want your thoughts and takeaways from the Bills

266
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 2: convincing thirty eight ten victory over the Raiders yesterday. What

267
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 2: did you like most? What was most encouraging about the

268
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:52,600
Speaker 2: team going forward? Maybe one of the newest players on

269
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:57,080
Speaker 2: the roster did something that has you excited going forward.

270
00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 2: I think it's safe to say that Dalton came is

271
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:03,640
Speaker 2: going to be a part of the game plan every

272
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:06,200
Speaker 2: single week. I realized we're only two games in, Steve,

273
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:08,480
Speaker 2: but it's clear to me the guy is going to

274
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:10,560
Speaker 2: be on the field a lot, and he is going

275
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:12,920
Speaker 2: to be targeted a lot as well. Through the course

276
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 2: of this season, at least a half a dozen times

277
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:16,960
Speaker 2: a game. I mean, that's kind of how it's averaging

278
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:17,840
Speaker 2: out right now.

279
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 3: He's and he's got a high efficiency catch rate. He's

280
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:23,240
Speaker 3: got what ten catches on the year.

281
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, and I think he's got eleven targets.

282
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean the guy doesn't miss too much.

283
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm lowered his shoulder on one catch a long time.

284
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 2: I finished traders sideline there early in the game.

285
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 4: He finished a run really nicely, And I keep saying

286
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:41,680
Speaker 4: that he's on pace to shatter the rookie receiving records

287
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:45,640
Speaker 4: for tight ends in NFL history after two games. I mean, yeah,

288
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:46,880
Speaker 4: let's pump the brakes a little bit.

289
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 2: But it's very interesting though that through two weeks, twelve

290
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 2: personnel has catered to more opportunities for Kinkaid and to

291
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 2: a certain extent, Knox as well, and less so for

292
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 2: guys like Surfy than Hardy, who haven't been featured nearly

293
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 2: as much. Now there was, or there at least seemed

294
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:07,680
Speaker 2: to be. And I'll check the numbers once they're out

295
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:11,080
Speaker 2: as to the balance, because it seemed a little more

296
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:15,080
Speaker 2: balanced between the eleven and twelve personnel groupings three wide

297
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 2: versus two tight ends. It seemed a little more balanced

298
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 2: this week, whereas last week it was sixty three and

299
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:24,880
Speaker 2: twenty five and then two percent other stuff. This week

300
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 2: it seemed a little more balanced. I'll look up the

301
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:30,880
Speaker 2: numbers and see if that is accurate. It just felt

302
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:33,440
Speaker 2: that way watching them send personnel onto the field through

303
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:36,280
Speaker 2: the course of the game. Five for seven in the

304
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 2: red zone, Steve, that works for me.

305
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, four or.

306
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 2: Five in goal to go situations. The only time they

307
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:45,560
Speaker 2: didn't get in was on the fourth and goal from

308
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 2: the one.

309
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 4: Seven trips the red zone's big, very that's a big day,

310
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 4: and that speaks to the efficiency that they were just

311
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:54,400
Speaker 4: hard to get off the field well.

312
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:56,320
Speaker 2: And I think the reason why they were so efficient

313
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 2: was because they ran it so well in the red

314
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:03,560
Speaker 2: zone with ye and Murray. That's in tough yards.

315
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:04,800
Speaker 3: That's absolutely the key.

316
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:07,240
Speaker 2: I mean, it really puts a defense on their heels

317
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:09,760
Speaker 2: because they're not just thinking, well, we got to be mindful

318
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:11,880
Speaker 2: of Josh here. They're like, we could have a downhill

319
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 2: run game coming at us. And that's where the under

320
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 2: center stuff, which was far more numerous in terms of

321
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 2: number of snaps this week than last week. When he's

322
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:24,600
Speaker 2: under center and that running game is coming at you downhill,

323
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:27,360
Speaker 2: that is a whole extra thing that these defenses have

324
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 2: to worry about now that they didn't have to do

325
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 2: the last two years, right.

326
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 4: And I think one of the things too, Josh. I mean,

327
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:36,880
Speaker 4: Josh is a known commodity. Now he's a playmaking quarterback

328
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 4: with a big arm, who can who can pick a

329
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:44,800
Speaker 4: part of defense. Now, defenses know that, so they come

330
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:46,680
Speaker 4: in thinking, Okay, we got to stop Josh Allen. Now

331
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 4: he's lining up under center with Latavious Murray and Damien

332
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:56,080
Speaker 4: har Jamian Harris and James Cook. That's that's a little

333
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 4: bit on That's a lot on plate. That's a lot

334
00:16:57,760 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 4: on the defensive plate that they got to think about.

335
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 2: And I'll tell you this. You get used to a

336
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:06,440
Speaker 2: hammer in Murray or Harris, you know, in their speed

337
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:09,040
Speaker 2: through a hole, and then Cook comes on the field

338
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:11,560
Speaker 2: and it's like you just hit the fast forward button.

339
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:12,200
Speaker 3: Right.

340
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:14,919
Speaker 2: It's such an I mean, you talk about change of pace.

341
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:17,919
Speaker 2: That's hard for a defense to adjust to too. I

342
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 2: said it on the broadcast yesterday. I just felt like

343
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:27,440
Speaker 2: the Raiders completely underestimated the speed that James Cook has

344
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:31,200
Speaker 2: on the field. And granted he's only a second year player,

345
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:33,679
Speaker 2: not much of the league has seen him in person

346
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:35,480
Speaker 2: on a field. And you've said this before, and I

347
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:38,320
Speaker 2: kind of remembered it as I'm saying this. You can

348
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:40,680
Speaker 2: watch a guy on film and say, Okay, that guy's fast.

349
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 2: We got to prepare for him and take certain angles

350
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:44,680
Speaker 2: to the football when he's carrying it. Then you get

351
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:48,600
Speaker 2: on the field and you're like, whoa that that all

352
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:50,880
Speaker 2: of that did not show up on film. We got

353
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 2: to readjust here because what we plan for is not

354
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:53,760
Speaker 2: going to be good enough.

355
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:56,080
Speaker 4: Of what happens is you get in there and you think, well,

356
00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:58,639
Speaker 4: those guys just aren't you know, they're not ready for it.

357
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 4: When you forget those guys have been watching the same

358
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 4: film you have, and they see the guy. Yeah, it's

359
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:09,959
Speaker 4: an issue you got, they'll be ready. And but James

360
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:14,479
Speaker 4: cook is does It was obvious he caught the Raiders

361
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:18,119
Speaker 4: off guard with his athleticism and his speed and his

362
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:20,560
Speaker 4: ability to get to the corner and give a guy

363
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:23,560
Speaker 4: a little bit of a stab and cut to the

364
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:25,840
Speaker 4: outside and he bounced. He bounced it outside to some

365
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:28,199
Speaker 4: guys and they just couldn't. They weren't ready for him

366
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 4: and get a hand off. They were not ready for it.

367
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:31,200
Speaker 4: And it was it was impressive.

368
00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:34,400
Speaker 2: He's turning the corner on cornerbacks.

369
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:35,200
Speaker 4: That's right.

370
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:37,239
Speaker 2: I mean Jae Corey and Bennett, the rookie corner from

371
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:39,960
Speaker 2: Maryland starts at right corner for them, he comes out

372
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:42,600
Speaker 2: to his side, and maybe Bennett did take a poor

373
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:46,400
Speaker 2: angle of entry to make the tackle, so that might

374
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:50,720
Speaker 2: be part of it. But man like Cook sees him

375
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:53,639
Speaker 2: take his try to take his inside shoulder, and he's like,

376
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 2: all right, I'm just gonna take it outside and he

377
00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:57,240
Speaker 2: blew his doors off.

378
00:18:57,440 --> 00:18:57,880
Speaker 4: Yeah.

379
00:18:57,960 --> 00:18:59,719
Speaker 2: I mean he's turning and running. He can't even get

380
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 2: a hand. So and oh, by the way, Steve, after

381
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:06,880
Speaker 2: two weeks in the NFL, you're leading rusher in the AFC,

382
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:07,640
Speaker 2: is James Cook?

383
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:09,200
Speaker 4: How about that?

384
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:11,639
Speaker 2: Leading rusher in the AFC. I think he's fourth in

385
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:12,480
Speaker 2: the league right now.

386
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:17,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I think it's gonna get better. Ken Dorsey

387
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:23,120
Speaker 4: did some things differently yesterday than we'd seen in Week one.

388
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 3: For sure.

389
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:28,000
Speaker 4: One of the strategies was sending somebody. They chipped on

390
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:31,720
Speaker 4: Crosby all day, the great defensive end of the Raiders,

391
00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:34,480
Speaker 4: and just made sure he wasn't going to wreck the game.

392
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 4: And that was a scheme that worked. And then the

393
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:39,880
Speaker 4: options that were still available. Even when you get one

394
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:43,359
Speaker 4: of the weapons to chip on a defensive end, it

395
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:44,720
Speaker 4: kind of takes him out of the route for a

396
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:47,800
Speaker 4: half second, which is a long time. The rest of

397
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 4: the weapons were available for Josh and I noticed this too.

398
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:54,520
Speaker 4: Jack didn't throw the football down the field. It didn't

399
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:56,280
Speaker 4: seem like at all. The only time he did he

400
00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 4: went over the top to Gabe one time on the

401
00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:02,480
Speaker 4: scramble and he had a couple of real darts down.

402
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:05,480
Speaker 2: The field where lay on the off side.

403
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:06,040
Speaker 4: That's right.

404
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:09,919
Speaker 3: Plays like that. It was.

405
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:12,560
Speaker 4: It was one of those games where Josh just took

406
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:14,439
Speaker 4: a deep breath said okay, I'm just gonna take this

407
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:18,560
Speaker 4: and it you know, it lacked all the big plays

408
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:22,480
Speaker 4: that you kind of associate with Josh. Yeah, but man,

409
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:25,120
Speaker 4: Oman they thirty eight points later. Who's complaining?

410
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:26,919
Speaker 2: Well, And you got to tip your hat to the

411
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 2: coordinator because Dorsey not only provided help for a guy

412
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:35,399
Speaker 2: like Spencer Brown in the terms in terms of chipping

413
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 2: with a back or a tight end, even when it

414
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:40,159
Speaker 2: was a one on one situation for Brown on the

415
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:43,600
Speaker 2: edge there he was calling plays that we're getting the

416
00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:45,680
Speaker 2: ball out because there were a couple of times where

417
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 2: Crosby won the one on one battle but he couldn't

418
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:51,639
Speaker 2: get to Josh because the ball was already out. And

419
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:54,280
Speaker 2: that that's where you tip your hat to Dorsey as well,

420
00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 2: because he had a play design to get the ball

421
00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:59,720
Speaker 2: out of Josh's hand fast. So in the event that

422
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:02,080
Speaker 2: you're production doesn't hold up, it doesn't hold up, it

423
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:04,760
Speaker 2: doesn't matter. The ball's away, right, And that happened like

424
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:07,879
Speaker 2: two or three times in the game too. So you know,

425
00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:12,359
Speaker 2: as much as much criticism as Dorsey gets, you should

426
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:14,960
Speaker 2: be turning around and patting him on the back today

427
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:17,320
Speaker 2: for the game plan he crafted yesterday. It was a

428
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 2: it was a marvelous job. Yeah, I mean, and when

429
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:22,480
Speaker 2: you have execution to match, you look all that much better, right,

430
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:25,080
Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean, that's kind of what you're that's

431
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:27,399
Speaker 2: what you're looking at. Let's go to the phones at

432
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:30,119
Speaker 2: eight oh three five point fifty one eight eight eight

433
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:32,440
Speaker 2: five fifty two five fifty then number to get on board.

434
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 2: We lead off today with Kevin and Hamburg.

435
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:35,960
Speaker 4: What do you got for us?

436
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:40,399
Speaker 6: Kevin, Hey, guys, how you doing? Thanks for digging my call? Sure, Well,

437
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:44,120
Speaker 6: my biggest takeaway is what Steve said, and he said

438
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 6: in the past. Whenever he doesn't try to play hero

439
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:49,879
Speaker 6: ball and just takes one the de mens gives him,

440
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:53,880
Speaker 6: things go good. And I mean you guys have even said,

441
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:57,040
Speaker 6: I know it's not sexy, it's not gorgeous, it's not

442
00:21:57,200 --> 00:22:01,000
Speaker 6: hot looking. But if it works, who cares about gorgeous?

443
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:05,440
Speaker 6: Who cares about the hotness? Vin don't need to lead

444
00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:07,720
Speaker 6: and thrown to the other team all the time, or

445
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:09,919
Speaker 6: throwing it like he did in the chests or like

446
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 6: he had troubles with last year. You know, just take

447
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:14,480
Speaker 6: what they give me. That's what all the best ones

448
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 6: will tell you. Montana took what he gave him. You know,

449
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:20,600
Speaker 6: sometimes you'd always had to be Superman. As long as

450
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:23,399
Speaker 6: you're a good Cark Kent or not Batman, but a

451
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:25,560
Speaker 6: good Bruce Wayne, it'll work.

452
00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:26,560
Speaker 7: You know.

453
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:29,359
Speaker 6: Do he's a super do you use a superhero analogy?

454
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:33,320
Speaker 6: And whenever he does that, things go better than trying

455
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:35,960
Speaker 6: to be Rambo. You know what I'm saying.

456
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:39,040
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I gotchag. I guess what it is is

457
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:42,000
Speaker 4: boring is beautiful when it comes out like it did yesterday.

458
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 3: And I get it.

459
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 4: They overcame some things yesterday, no question, but they also

460
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:53,119
Speaker 4: executed at such a high level, and Josh distributed the

461
00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:56,879
Speaker 4: ball so well. I think at halftime he was like

462
00:22:56,960 --> 00:23:00,800
Speaker 4: twenty eighteen of twenty one and he had like two

463
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:03,160
Speaker 4: throwaways or a throwaway or something in there as well.

464
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:06,480
Speaker 4: It was amazing. He started out with twelve straight completions.

465
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:09,639
Speaker 4: The thirteenth was what was the one the thirteenth when

466
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:11,840
Speaker 4: I might have been a throwaway? Four goal as the

467
00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:15,160
Speaker 4: fourth and goal, that's it. The first the first incompletion

468
00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:19,920
Speaker 4: was the high shot to Dawson Knox. So yeah, it's

469
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 4: it's hard to beat a team when they're playing as

470
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:26,879
Speaker 4: efficiently as the Bills did. Now, certainly, sometimes you step

471
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:28,520
Speaker 4: and the thing about it is too you step out,

472
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:30,639
Speaker 4: throw a quick screen to the wide receiver that he

473
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:33,480
Speaker 4: gets tacked. It's a two yard game and it's pretty

474
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:35,919
Speaker 4: frustrating to think, gosh, you know, you do something you

475
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:38,520
Speaker 4: know different than that, but it all plays into the

476
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:42,360
Speaker 4: same goal and it worked to perfection.

477
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:47,600
Speaker 2: Yesterday, speaking of efficiency, we had a soothsayer on the

478
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 2: set here last Friday. A certain Steve Tasker turned into

479
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:57,960
Speaker 2: the amazing Cresken when he spoke to how he saw

480
00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:02,159
Speaker 2: Sunday's game playing out out for Josh Allen. Let's go

481
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:04,320
Speaker 2: back to last Friday and listen in.

482
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:07,960
Speaker 4: I think Josh will probably have thirty completions in this game,

483
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 4: no matter how many times, how many times they throw it.

484
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:13,840
Speaker 4: I think they're going to attack these guys through the air.

485
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 4: And I think if they don't turn it over, obviously

486
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:19,760
Speaker 4: they I don't think they lose.

487
00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:26,200
Speaker 2: Over thirty completions. What what? What was Josh's final stat line? Again?

488
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:30,119
Speaker 4: Seven? No matter how many times, thirty completions and if

489
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:31,760
Speaker 4: they don't turn it over, they you can't beat him.

490
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:34,000
Speaker 4: Not only did they not beat him? When Josh plays

491
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:36,200
Speaker 4: like he did, they beat him runaway twenty eight.

492
00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:40,560
Speaker 2: Wait to check the box there, fortune teller, thank you

493
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:43,840
Speaker 2: you got a uh have you have you formulated one

494
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:45,199
Speaker 2: for this week? We may have to hit you up

495
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:47,639
Speaker 2: for that. We have to add that to excuse me,

496
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 2: mister tasker on Friday. Excuse me, mister tasker.

497
00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:51,600
Speaker 4: Do you have a.

498
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:57,520
Speaker 2: Prediction for Week three? Bill's Commanders? Yeah, and you know

499
00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 2: Josh major look good, so thank you for that. Checks

500
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:02,240
Speaker 2: in the mail Josh, he made a lot of.

501
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:04,960
Speaker 3: Guys look good this last week and good for him.

502
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:08,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know we heard Sean McDermott after the

503
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:11,800
Speaker 2: Jets game. You know, he's asked, He's being asked like

504
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:16,720
Speaker 2: fifteen different questions about Josh's performance, and I was I

505
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:20,600
Speaker 2: took a note of this when he said it. Coach said,

506
00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:26,040
Speaker 2: Josh has to put his trust in the teammates around

507
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:30,080
Speaker 2: him to make plays for him. When he tries to

508
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:32,960
Speaker 2: put it all on himself. That seems to be when

509
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:36,159
Speaker 2: mistakes happen. And I thought the best thing to come

510
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:40,199
Speaker 2: out of yesterday's game was he did act like a

511
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:45,760
Speaker 2: facilitator more than a individual playmaker and trusted the guys

512
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:49,320
Speaker 2: around him, and the fact that all of them came

513
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:52,959
Speaker 2: through in a giant way, Like, yeah, Shakiir made one play,

514
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:56,359
Speaker 2: but it was a big play on a throw that

515
00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 2: probably did not have a high degree of success attached

516
00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:01,880
Speaker 2: to it. You know, he's sitting down in a chair,

517
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:04,639
Speaker 2: leaning back, throwing it around a defensive tackle to a

518
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:07,320
Speaker 2: receiver coming across the field, and Shakiir hustles to get

519
00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:11,320
Speaker 2: to that spot to make that play. Gabe Davis boxes

520
00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:13,200
Speaker 2: out a defender in the end zone on fourth and

521
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:15,840
Speaker 2: goal from the two and says, get off me, this

522
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:19,600
Speaker 2: is my football. Those are the kinds of things that

523
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:22,919
Speaker 2: will reinforce to Josh, Hey, you know what, I do

524
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:25,919
Speaker 2: have guys that can come through for me when I

525
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:28,439
Speaker 2: need them on a money down or a gotta have

526
00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:31,639
Speaker 2: it play. So you hope that reinforces to Josh that

527
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:33,479
Speaker 2: you know what, you can trust the guys around you.

528
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:36,359
Speaker 2: They can make plays. It doesn't all have to be

529
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:37,360
Speaker 2: on you.

530
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:42,160
Speaker 4: Right, And sometimes it's hard to know that, and particularly

531
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 4: in an opening game of the season. But certainly this

532
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:45,919
Speaker 4: is a team and I'll say this too.

533
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:48,119
Speaker 3: I'm okay.

534
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:50,120
Speaker 4: You know who doesn't love a game like they saw

535
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 4: yesterday from your team? You know, the Bills go out

536
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:55,119
Speaker 4: there and just efficiently just sweep the floor with the

537
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:58,120
Speaker 4: Raiders and just it's one thing after another going well.

538
00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:02,040
Speaker 4: Milano doing his Milano interset was absolutely a work of

539
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:07,160
Speaker 4: art and you love that. But you gotta know, too,

540
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:09,280
Speaker 4: this is a This is a season like the ones

541
00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:13,679
Speaker 4: we have here in Buffalo nowadays, where you want to

542
00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:16,240
Speaker 4: you want a crescendo through the season. You want to

543
00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:18,880
Speaker 4: develop and get things going through the season. I don't

544
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:21,920
Speaker 4: and we have not seen all of that yet. I

545
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:24,600
Speaker 4: think this is a team that's gonna have to be

546
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:26,840
Speaker 4: playing better and better and better as the weeks go on.

547
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:29,520
Speaker 4: Now we'll get Vaughn back. That'll help. That'll change things

548
00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:32,359
Speaker 4: a little bit. You get James Cook even more involved,

549
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:35,000
Speaker 4: can Caler get more involved, Knox will be more involved.

550
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:38,359
Speaker 4: But I think that the thought process is they they

551
00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:41,600
Speaker 4: got to keep getting better because it's a long season

552
00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:45,400
Speaker 4: and nothing is gonna work for an entire season all year.

553
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:46,800
Speaker 3: You gotta You're gonna have to evolve.

554
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:49,760
Speaker 4: So as good as they played yesterday, you kind of

555
00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:51,679
Speaker 4: hope there's more in the tank because they're gonna need

556
00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:52,439
Speaker 4: it going forward.

557
00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:55,040
Speaker 2: Let's get back to the phones at eight oh three,

558
00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:57,400
Speaker 2: oh five fifty one eight eight eight five fifty two

559
00:27:57,400 --> 00:27:59,320
Speaker 2: five fifty You got some open lines for you there,

560
00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:02,200
Speaker 2: and we go to Gary in Rochester next. What do

561
00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:02,679
Speaker 2: you got for us?

562
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:03,000
Speaker 4: Gary?

563
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:09,520
Speaker 8: Yeah? I just want to comment on how the offense

564
00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:14,679
Speaker 8: played very very well, dinking and dunkin down the field

565
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:21,920
Speaker 8: and they probably had their most run after catch yards

566
00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:26,720
Speaker 8: in a long long time. And also too, I think

567
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:31,560
Speaker 8: our offensive line out goes with Ruben Brown or Brown

568
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:37,760
Speaker 8: that he should when he plays well, the whole offensive

569
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:38,680
Speaker 8: line plays well.

570
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:40,840
Speaker 9: And I think.

571
00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:45,959
Speaker 8: That's basically where we are right now. Short passes and

572
00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:49,440
Speaker 8: a lot of yards afterwards. Thanks, I'll hang up and

573
00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:50,680
Speaker 8: listen to your call, all.

574
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:53,240
Speaker 2: Right, Gary, Thanks very much, appreciate the phone call.

575
00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:53,520
Speaker 10: Yeah.

576
00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:57,840
Speaker 2: I mean, efficiency was the order of the day, and

577
00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:03,719
Speaker 2: Josh decided to patient and simply take what was in

578
00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:07,560
Speaker 2: front of him. And basically, the Raiders were playing a

579
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:09,520
Speaker 2: top down defense. You're not going to beat us over

580
00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:12,960
Speaker 2: the top, all right. Let you know, the Raiders challenge

581
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:16,600
Speaker 2: the Bills to be efficient enough to move the ball

582
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:19,800
Speaker 2: down the field in small increments, and they did that.

583
00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:22,120
Speaker 2: They had two eleven play drives for scores and a

584
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:26,040
Speaker 2: fifteen play drive for scores over the course of the afternoon,

585
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:30,680
Speaker 2: so they prove they can be that efficient. There was

586
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:33,040
Speaker 2: a big pass interference penalty that helped them out on

587
00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:38,600
Speaker 2: one drive, so but all in all, the execution was

588
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 2: there that led to a high rate of efficiency. Josh's

589
00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:46,160
Speaker 2: completion percentage is a reflection of that. James Cook's yards

590
00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:48,960
Speaker 2: per carry average is a reflection of that seven point two.

591
00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:51,120
Speaker 2: I mean, even before the long carry at the end

592
00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:54,160
Speaker 2: of the game, he was still averaging five point eight

593
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:59,200
Speaker 2: a rush. I mean that efficiency alone speaks to the

594
00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:01,800
Speaker 2: control at the line of scrimmage that the Buffalo offensive

595
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:05,800
Speaker 2: line had the decision making that excuse me, Josh had

596
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:08,120
Speaker 2: to get the ball out of his hand quick and

597
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:12,160
Speaker 2: the play calling of Ken Dorsey that allowed all of

598
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:16,240
Speaker 2: that to manifest itself on the field. So yeah, I

599
00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:17,600
Speaker 2: mean all around, lights out.

600
00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:23,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, it all works together. And some of it has

601
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:25,600
Speaker 4: to do with the way the Raiders play their football,

602
00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:27,760
Speaker 4: you know, the way to deploy their team and how

603
00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:29,840
Speaker 4: they call plays, and some of this works out that

604
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:32,479
Speaker 4: way in week to week basis. Some teams don't let

605
00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:34,280
Speaker 4: you running after the catch. We saw that last week

606
00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:35,960
Speaker 4: with the Jets. We talked about it all week about

607
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:38,160
Speaker 4: how when the Jet you played the Jets, first guy

608
00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:40,240
Speaker 4: to the ball always makes the tackle. That's a sign

609
00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:43,040
Speaker 4: of an elite defense. They just don't get any extra yards.

610
00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:45,320
Speaker 4: Not so with the Raiders. We just tell you they

611
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:48,920
Speaker 4: came up and were trying to tackle James Cook and

612
00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:51,320
Speaker 4: they just they just weren't able to because he had

613
00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:54,040
Speaker 4: too much space and he made him completely miss. He

614
00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:56,400
Speaker 4: was getting to the edge and turning it up the side.

615
00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:59,040
Speaker 4: Plus even in some traffic of the sidelines, he was

616
00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:01,600
Speaker 4: finding gaps and engine forward for an extra few yards.

617
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:04,240
Speaker 4: There was one play in particular yesterday where it looked

618
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:05,640
Speaker 4: like it was going to be a two yard loss,

619
00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:07,160
Speaker 4: and all of a sudden, it's a it's a two

620
00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:09,160
Speaker 4: yard game. He got something out, he got a little

621
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:11,200
Speaker 4: something out of what looked catastrophic.

622
00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:14,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's he's slippery.

623
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:17,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's that's when you get good players. And that's

624
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:19,920
Speaker 4: that's an individual matchups you can point to and say,

625
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:22,440
Speaker 4: if they're playing the Jets, some of this stuff doesn't happen.

626
00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:25,400
Speaker 4: But if they're playing you know, if they are playing

627
00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:27,800
Speaker 4: a team like the Raiders, yeah you can get away

628
00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 4: with that, and it'll be different when they play the

629
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:33,440
Speaker 4: Chiefs and the and the Bengals. So you and yeah,

630
00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:37,680
Speaker 4: all these games are their own animal. Man, it's more important,

631
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:39,520
Speaker 4: and this is why you always hear it. It's more

632
00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:42,600
Speaker 4: important about us being who we are. That's in your

633
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:44,800
Speaker 4: locker room, you know, everybody, listen, just just play our game.

634
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:47,720
Speaker 4: Whatever those jokers do over there, we got an answer

635
00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:50,120
Speaker 4: for it. Let's just be ready with it. And that's

636
00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:53,440
Speaker 4: why you hear Sean McDermott and the players and Josh

637
00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:54,440
Speaker 4: and Brandon Bean said.

638
00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:55,040
Speaker 3: Let's just be us.

639
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:56,880
Speaker 4: Let's find out who we are, and then let's go

640
00:31:56,920 --> 00:31:59,280
Speaker 4: and play our best that's how you do it. So

641
00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:04,080
Speaker 4: all this run after catch and all that is good,

642
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:07,520
Speaker 4: but it's you know, that's not the be all end all.

643
00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:11,160
Speaker 4: They're just trying to play and it's as much about

644
00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:13,160
Speaker 4: the Raiders in those respects to those things that is

645
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:14,720
Speaker 4: as it is the Bills.

646
00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:17,400
Speaker 2: Break time for us here, but more of your phone

647
00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:20,840
Speaker 2: calls when we return along with this week's Player of

648
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:23,040
Speaker 2: the Game. We'll get to all of that when we

649
00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:25,760
Speaker 2: return here on one Bill's Live presented by Kalida Health,

650
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:38,440
Speaker 2: It's Buffalo Bills Radio on a Buffalo victory Monday. This

651
00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:42,000
Speaker 2: week's Player the Game is presented by Wegman's Meals to Go.

652
00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:45,880
Speaker 2: Wegman's Meals to Go Delicious Meals Delivered download their app

653
00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:49,840
Speaker 2: today it is James Cook. He of the one hundred

654
00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:52,920
Speaker 2: and fifty nine total yards from scrimmage, one hundred and

655
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:55,120
Speaker 2: twenty three on the ground, thirty six through the air,

656
00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:59,800
Speaker 2: really kind of helped balance out Buffalo's attack on Sunday

657
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:03,440
Speaker 2: win over the Raiders. He was tough to corral for

658
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:07,200
Speaker 2: the Raiders defense as his speed was a difference maker.

659
00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:10,440
Speaker 2: So your Player of the Game for Week two, James Cook,

660
00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:14,840
Speaker 2: your current AFC leading Rusher on the season.

661
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:16,520
Speaker 3: Very nice.

662
00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:18,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's get back to the phones though at eight

663
00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:21,880
Speaker 2: oh three five point fifty one eight eight eight five

664
00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:24,400
Speaker 2: point fifty two five fifty got open lines for you

665
00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:28,200
Speaker 2: there as we are looking for your takeaways from Buffalo's

666
00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:31,760
Speaker 2: convincing win over the Raiders when we go back to

667
00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:33,520
Speaker 2: the phones, and leading us off in this segment is

668
00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:34,360
Speaker 2: Mark in New Jersey.

669
00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:35,200
Speaker 4: What do you got for his? Mark?

670
00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:38,880
Speaker 11: Good afternoon, gentlemen. It's a much better week than it

671
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:42,240
Speaker 11: was last week. Josh always talked to you guys, even

672
00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:45,880
Speaker 11: talk about twenty nineteen. He has that like implosion at

673
00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:48,840
Speaker 11: home versus New England stables, losing his mind on the

674
00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:52,000
Speaker 11: sideline too, and then he cites that game as a

675
00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:54,600
Speaker 11: game that you know, flipped him the way he needs

676
00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:57,720
Speaker 11: to play and not play. And I think maybe possibly

677
00:33:57,800 --> 00:33:59,920
Speaker 11: last week book aming it with this week could be

678
00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:04,440
Speaker 11: the same likes given the results of yesterday, just because

679
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:06,200
Speaker 11: there was even times you see it on the broadcast

680
00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:07,800
Speaker 11: like he was like kind of like, oh right, I'll

681
00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:10,080
Speaker 11: just dink get down here, like he's looking downfield, looking

682
00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:12,040
Speaker 11: downfield to his one play in particularly through it to

683
00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:14,359
Speaker 11: Murray on the right. But Murray ended up gaining like

684
00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:18,719
Speaker 11: five six yards. I think just that accumulative effect that

685
00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:21,880
Speaker 11: what happened yesterday could you know, maybe springboard into something

686
00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:24,080
Speaker 11: more for him, a different evolution to his game. But

687
00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:27,280
Speaker 11: it was very nice to see them be balanced to run,

688
00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:31,240
Speaker 11: pass and just lean more physically on their team instead

689
00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:33,359
Speaker 11: of being so finesse and high flying. I just wish

690
00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:35,920
Speaker 11: Josh would have played more like Dak played against it

691
00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:39,680
Speaker 11: the Jets yesterday. Watching that game is very frustratingcause that's

692
00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:41,480
Speaker 11: all he did. He dinked and dunked them until they

693
00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:44,840
Speaker 11: eventually wore out late and started getting stuff open up downfield,

694
00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:47,720
Speaker 11: and then they ended up winning by a lopsided score. Then,

695
00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:50,440
Speaker 11: of course Zach Wilson becomes Zach Wilson again.

696
00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:55,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think we all kind of anticipated that was coming,

697
00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:58,000
Speaker 2: especially against that Dallas defense. Thanks for the call, Mark,

698
00:34:58,040 --> 00:35:02,840
Speaker 2: I mean, I think the run game also led to

699
00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:05,439
Speaker 2: some more opportunities down the field later in the game too.

700
00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:08,680
Speaker 2: They're you know, they're the chief priority for most defenses

701
00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:11,400
Speaker 2: facing the Bills is we can't let Alan beat us

702
00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:14,359
Speaker 2: over the top with big plays for easy scores, so

703
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:18,319
Speaker 2: they usually play top down defensively. So as we saw

704
00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:20,200
Speaker 2: last year, they're going to give you stuff in the

705
00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:22,839
Speaker 2: short areas and they're gonna have a light box more

706
00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:25,279
Speaker 2: often than not to drop more people into coverage. So

707
00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:27,640
Speaker 2: if you can run the football like the Bills did yesterday,

708
00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:31,120
Speaker 2: you will force them to bring an extra defender in

709
00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:32,800
Speaker 2: the box, and then you have a chance to attack

710
00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:33,440
Speaker 2: in the pass game.

711
00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:35,520
Speaker 4: It's two things about playing the Bills. One, you got

712
00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:37,719
Speaker 4: to keep a lid on it. You can't let you know,

713
00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:40,040
Speaker 4: somebody get deep and let because Josh can out throw

714
00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:42,560
Speaker 4: some people. Last night in the in the Miami game,

715
00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:46,360
Speaker 4: the Dolphins are looking slick offensively, look really good, except

716
00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:49,000
Speaker 4: that Tua can't throw it as deep as he needed to.

717
00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:51,240
Speaker 4: He ended up getting a pick because he underthrew a player.

718
00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:53,320
Speaker 4: He gave it everything he had, he couldn't get it

719
00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:57,720
Speaker 4: out there, so Tyreek had to make a tackle. Josh.

720
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:01,640
Speaker 4: Defenses know if the guys out there, Josh can hit him,

721
00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:05,200
Speaker 4: so they keep a lid on with the two high safeties.

722
00:36:05,239 --> 00:36:08,239
Speaker 4: And then also, as we've talked about, they rush in

723
00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:10,960
Speaker 4: their lanes. You never see these guys cross over or

724
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:14,240
Speaker 4: do any stunts interior because when they start doing stunts,

725
00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:16,839
Speaker 4: you leave windows open where Josh can step through and

726
00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:19,799
Speaker 4: take off running. Josh hasn't done very much of that

727
00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:22,279
Speaker 4: this year, mostly because both these teams kind of do that,

728
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:25,440
Speaker 4: and most teams will do that, so they do that.

729
00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:28,120
Speaker 4: Those are the two things they gotta do. They keep

730
00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:31,359
Speaker 4: Josh Allen in the pocket and threw a touchdown out

731
00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:33,440
Speaker 4: of the pocket yesterday and had another big play out

732
00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:38,120
Speaker 4: of the pocket yesterday. He does big things out of

733
00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:39,919
Speaker 4: the pocket, so you want to keep him in there.

734
00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:42,480
Speaker 4: And two, keep a lid on it. Those are the

735
00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:45,080
Speaker 4: two things defense has always try to do against Buffalo.

736
00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:47,680
Speaker 4: And you notice I didn't say defend the run.

737
00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:52,680
Speaker 2: Right and when you look at it going into this game,

738
00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:57,600
Speaker 2: we talked about Max Crosby with Greg Cosel on Friday

739
00:36:58,239 --> 00:37:00,279
Speaker 2: and he said, Yeah, he usually lines up in a

740
00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:03,600
Speaker 2: wide nine, likes to come from the outside. He'll freelance

741
00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:06,080
Speaker 2: a little bit just to get to the quarterback. He

742
00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:08,400
Speaker 2: didn't do a whole lot of freelancing yesterday, and I

743
00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:11,439
Speaker 2: think it's because of Allen's escapability. He had to play

744
00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:15,840
Speaker 2: a more disciplined style yesterday, which I think in essence

745
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:19,520
Speaker 2: hurt his pass rush abilities a little bit. Because Spencer

746
00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:22,239
Speaker 2: Brown had a better handle on where he was going

747
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:24,200
Speaker 2: to be every snap. You didn't have to worry about

748
00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:27,239
Speaker 2: him going off the rails and just freelancing because the

749
00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:29,319
Speaker 2: quarterback's too much of a threat and he couldn't leave

750
00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:31,279
Speaker 2: a lane open on his side right.

751
00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:33,399
Speaker 4: And I think a little bit of that because Ken

752
00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:36,560
Speaker 4: Dorsey didn't want Crosby to wreck the game, he chipped

753
00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:40,640
Speaker 4: him a bunch. Yes, with receivers, tight ends, backs, everybody

754
00:37:40,719 --> 00:37:43,120
Speaker 4: was taking a shot at Crosby as they ran around,

755
00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:47,000
Speaker 4: and it helped helped a lot. Spencer Brown had a

756
00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:49,560
Speaker 4: really nice game, a solid game. It wasn't like he

757
00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:52,719
Speaker 4: was flawless, but he was getting some help and that's

758
00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:59,400
Speaker 4: what you do. That's I think that kind of knowledge

759
00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:03,920
Speaker 4: about that the Bills are seeing now the people think

760
00:38:03,960 --> 00:38:06,840
Speaker 4: about what their team is. It helps them going forward

761
00:38:06,840 --> 00:38:08,799
Speaker 4: because then Ken Dorsey and say, Okay, if they think this,

762
00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:11,360
Speaker 4: then we're going to do this and they can just

763
00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:15,480
Speaker 4: you know, call plays accordingly. As we get deeper into

764
00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:17,160
Speaker 4: the season, it's really going to be interesting to see

765
00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:19,800
Speaker 4: if any of this changes with defenses against the Bills.

766
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:22,400
Speaker 2: You know, I would assume that it does to some degree,

767
00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:28,000
Speaker 2: But yesterday was all about efficiency and diversity. It was

768
00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:33,319
Speaker 2: a diversified attack that everything they turned to worked. That's

769
00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:35,480
Speaker 2: not going to be every week. But the fact that

770
00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:39,000
Speaker 2: they have different things that they can utilize, whether by

771
00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:43,840
Speaker 2: personnel grouping or by choice of run or pass, that

772
00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:46,800
Speaker 2: makes them even harder to defend going forward. I believe you.

773
00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:49,799
Speaker 4: Look, you're watching film, your defensive coordinator, defensive staff for

774
00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:52,120
Speaker 4: like Washington this next week, and you're watching them and

775
00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:56,160
Speaker 4: you see the Bills hang a fifteen play drive on,

776
00:38:56,880 --> 00:38:59,360
Speaker 4: you know, the Raiders, and they hang eleven play drive

777
00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:01,680
Speaker 4: on the Raiders to hang another eleven play drive on

778
00:39:01,719 --> 00:39:04,040
Speaker 4: the Raiders. They hang onto the ball for forty minutes,

779
00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:06,560
Speaker 4: and you think, well, you know, if they do that

780
00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:11,440
Speaker 4: against us, we got some problems. So they're gonna do

781
00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:14,000
Speaker 4: stuff that to try and get the Bills off the field.

782
00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:17,040
Speaker 4: So they will start saying, listen, if we're gonna get

783
00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:18,759
Speaker 4: our we're gonna get a pass rush home. We got

784
00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:21,120
Speaker 4: to get that guy on the ground. We gotta make

785
00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:25,520
Speaker 4: him uncomfortable. Having not seen him very much, they may think,

786
00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:29,160
Speaker 4: you know what, let's get after the guy when he

787
00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:31,600
Speaker 4: When they find out, they get a free rusher and

788
00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:34,880
Speaker 4: Josh outruns him out around the edge and gets a

789
00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:39,640
Speaker 4: nineteen yard gain and strolls out of bounds untouched. They're

790
00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:43,440
Speaker 4: gonna rethink that strategy, right, So that's you get the

791
00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:46,560
Speaker 4: teams like in the NFC East Now Day Bowl, and

792
00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:49,080
Speaker 4: the Giants aren't gonna do this for obvious reasons. But

793
00:39:49,239 --> 00:39:53,880
Speaker 4: Ron Rivera might. Yeah, you know, they might think. You know,

794
00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:56,120
Speaker 4: we've got some horses up front, and we're not gonna

795
00:39:56,120 --> 00:39:58,879
Speaker 4: We're not gonna let him put together an eleven play drive.

796
00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:01,000
Speaker 4: We're gonna get him off the field.

797
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:03,319
Speaker 2: Be interesting to see what their strategy is coming off

798
00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:06,000
Speaker 2: of this week for Buffalo's offense. Back to the phones

799
00:40:06,040 --> 00:40:08,360
Speaker 2: and to Tom and Rochester. What do you got for us? Tom?

800
00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:13,040
Speaker 9: Hey, guys, great great win, great great turnaround, But I

801
00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:15,839
Speaker 9: want to talk about that first possession. Oh my god,

802
00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:18,960
Speaker 9: I'm sitting in the bar here in Rochester and you know,

803
00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:22,880
Speaker 9: oh my god, they run down the field in just

804
00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:26,120
Speaker 9: over two minutes. What are four or five plays? Just

805
00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:30,200
Speaker 9: make the Bills look totally hapless on defense? And how

806
00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:33,160
Speaker 9: do you come out that flat? You know, I'm a

807
00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:37,000
Speaker 9: baseball fan as well, and sometimes a pitcher just doesn't

808
00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:39,399
Speaker 9: pitch well in the first inning and then he settles down.

809
00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:43,200
Speaker 9: But how do you come up that flat in a

810
00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:46,719
Speaker 9: game and then turn around, you know, thirty eight to

811
00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:48,360
Speaker 9: three after that possession.

812
00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:51,440
Speaker 2: Well, I mean they came out on the first play

813
00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:54,200
Speaker 2: and it Oliver blew it up. So I don't know

814
00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:56,560
Speaker 2: if I necessarily call him flat. If you want to

815
00:40:56,600 --> 00:40:58,839
Speaker 2: call them a little over aggressive, I would listen to that,

816
00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:01,239
Speaker 2: because on set and long on the next play, they

817
00:41:01,239 --> 00:41:03,000
Speaker 2: come screaming up the field and they get burned on

818
00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:06,719
Speaker 2: a screen. So you know, the adrenalines pumping, it's the

819
00:41:06,760 --> 00:41:10,279
Speaker 2: home opener. You're fired up, you want to basically rip

820
00:41:10,320 --> 00:41:11,640
Speaker 2: people's faces off.

821
00:41:11,880 --> 00:41:13,920
Speaker 4: And maybe you're a little over zealous, and they got

822
00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:16,080
Speaker 4: then they got nicked by because they were over pursuing.

823
00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:18,600
Speaker 4: They were over pursuing the quarterback, which left In vulnerable

824
00:41:18,640 --> 00:41:21,480
Speaker 4: to the screen. They were over pursuing the run game,

825
00:41:21,480 --> 00:41:23,360
Speaker 4: which left In vulnerable to the end a round on

826
00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:25,200
Speaker 4: the next play. So it's like a fifteen yard of

827
00:41:25,239 --> 00:41:28,239
Speaker 4: fifteen yard, you know, all of a sudden, you know,

828
00:41:28,360 --> 00:41:31,239
Speaker 4: that's how it looks, and that's maybe they were a

829
00:41:31,239 --> 00:41:34,440
Speaker 4: little too hyped up, which I hadn't really thought about,

830
00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:39,440
Speaker 4: but because it looked they looked flat. But the plays

831
00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:43,520
Speaker 4: that they got nicked by were kind of over pursuit plays,

832
00:41:43,560 --> 00:41:46,120
Speaker 4: you know what I mean, the screen passing the end around.

833
00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:49,160
Speaker 3: So yeah, it could whatever it is.

834
00:41:50,520 --> 00:41:53,440
Speaker 4: You know, the Oakland Raiders came out with a very

835
00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:55,560
Speaker 4: nice plan as you would imagine them too. That a

836
00:41:55,640 --> 00:41:58,680
Speaker 4: lot of teams come out, and there's a couple of

837
00:41:58,680 --> 00:42:01,480
Speaker 4: games yesterday that came out and started out like this one,

838
00:42:01,520 --> 00:42:05,279
Speaker 4: although even more so Arizona was up twenty to nothing

839
00:42:05,320 --> 00:42:07,839
Speaker 4: on the Giants. You heard about that. The Giants came

840
00:42:07,880 --> 00:42:10,520
Speaker 4: back and won that one. Denver was up double digits,

841
00:42:10,640 --> 00:42:16,879
Speaker 4: big double digits on Washington and they got beat by

842
00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:20,239
Speaker 4: Washington coming back. This one drive by the Raiders looked

843
00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:21,440
Speaker 4: like it was going to be that kind of game

844
00:42:21,480 --> 00:42:23,799
Speaker 4: for Buffalo, and it turned out not to be.

845
00:42:24,040 --> 00:42:26,120
Speaker 2: Well, they outscored them thirty one to three after they

846
00:42:26,160 --> 00:42:26,880
Speaker 2: tied it at seven.

847
00:42:27,080 --> 00:42:27,799
Speaker 3: Right, So.

848
00:42:30,080 --> 00:42:32,600
Speaker 4: There's a lot in that how the game starts. Some

849
00:42:32,640 --> 00:42:34,920
Speaker 4: teams come out and coaching staffs are really good at

850
00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:38,040
Speaker 4: scripting out those first dozen plays or so, and then

851
00:42:38,080 --> 00:42:42,040
Speaker 4: after that is when it gets dicey for him. Buffalo

852
00:42:42,080 --> 00:42:45,440
Speaker 4: has always under McDermott, notoriously, I think, has always been

853
00:42:45,480 --> 00:42:48,160
Speaker 4: really good at getting it under putting a lid on

854
00:42:48,200 --> 00:42:50,520
Speaker 4: it after the first couple of series, which is exactly

855
00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:51,360
Speaker 4: why this game.

856
00:42:51,200 --> 00:42:54,520
Speaker 2: Went break time for us. Here when we come back,

857

863
00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:24,520
Speaker 2: games now with three passing touchdowns while completing at least

864
00:43:24,600 --> 00:43:28,840
Speaker 2: eighty percent of his passes. It's the most before turning

865
00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:31,839
Speaker 2: thirty years old in NFL history. He's got three more

866
00:43:31,920 --> 00:43:34,240
Speaker 2: years to go, so he'll probably have more than five

867
00:43:34,760 --> 00:43:37,080
Speaker 2: by the time he gets to his thirtieth birthday. And remember,

00:44:06,719 --> 00:44:09,719
Speaker 2: looking for your takeaways from Buffalo's thirty eight ten win

879
00:44:09,840 --> 00:44:12,839
Speaker 2: over the Raiders, And to Dick in Newfane, we go,

880
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:15,600
Speaker 2: what's up, Dick? What do you got for us?

881
00:44:15,760 --> 00:44:19,480
Speaker 10: Yeah? I got a feeling, guys. Listen, My take yesterday

882
00:44:19,640 --> 00:44:22,560
Speaker 10: was that Josh was under center more with our twelve

883
00:44:22,600 --> 00:44:26,080
Speaker 10: personnel package, and I just think that makes us so

884
00:44:26,200 --> 00:44:30,160
Speaker 10: much more unpredictable with play action fakes. Now, if it's

885
00:44:30,160 --> 00:44:32,520
Speaker 10: so obvious to an old school guy like me, how

886
00:44:32,560 --> 00:44:35,759
Speaker 10: come we can't be doing more of that? Or am

887
00:44:35,760 --> 00:44:38,399
Speaker 10: I overreacting? I'll hang up and listen to you guys

888
00:44:38,480 --> 00:44:39,240
Speaker 10: answer banks.

889
00:44:39,560 --> 00:44:42,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, all I can say is they're doing whatever they

890
00:44:42,560 --> 00:44:44,440
Speaker 4: can in those moments to try and get a first

891
00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:47,120
Speaker 4: down or move the football. And if he's under center,

892
00:44:47,160 --> 00:44:50,840
Speaker 4: it's one thing. And sometimes if it's there's probably a

893
00:44:50,880 --> 00:44:54,040
Speaker 4: line of demarcation on their play sheet. If they get

894
00:44:54,080 --> 00:44:59,800
Speaker 4: into a second and six plus they want to go shotgun,

895
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:03,400
Speaker 4: they get into a second and minus five or less,

896
00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:06,160
Speaker 4: they'll get under center, that kind of thing. So there's

897
00:45:06,160 --> 00:45:07,880
Speaker 4: probably a little bit of that. And because of the

898
00:45:07,880 --> 00:45:11,760
Speaker 4: way the passing game was working, they were under center

899
00:45:11,800 --> 00:45:14,240
Speaker 4: more because they were either more successful on third, first

900
00:45:14,280 --> 00:45:16,719
Speaker 4: down and second down and you know that kind of thing.

901
00:45:16,800 --> 00:45:19,839
Speaker 4: So that might have had something to do with it.

902
00:45:20,880 --> 00:45:24,600
Speaker 4: But I agree with you. Everybody's been here has been mentioning,

903
00:45:25,880 --> 00:45:28,440
Speaker 4: you know, people like you know, fans like us have

904
00:45:28,520 --> 00:45:30,759
Speaker 4: been calling for like I like it, Josh under center

905
00:45:30,760 --> 00:45:34,000
Speaker 4: because it makes the offense seem more steady anyway, you

906
00:45:34,040 --> 00:45:35,239
Speaker 4: know what I mean. I don't know what call it

907
00:45:35,280 --> 00:45:37,480
Speaker 4: what you want, but that may be a reason for

908
00:45:37,520 --> 00:45:40,319
Speaker 4: it down in distance, whether he's under center or not.

909
00:45:40,360 --> 00:45:42,520
Speaker 3: And obviously it's it has to do with the play called.

910
00:45:42,920 --> 00:45:45,560
Speaker 2: So yeah, and the other thing that's that's a big deal.

911
00:45:45,600 --> 00:45:48,359
Speaker 2: The other thing too is you actually have a two

912
00:45:48,360 --> 00:45:52,480
Speaker 2: tight end personnel grouping that's a bigger part of your offense,

913
00:45:53,000 --> 00:45:55,759
Speaker 2: and that's a traditional rundown as well, where you want

914
00:45:55,760 --> 00:45:58,160
Speaker 2: the quarterback under center. I mean, we even saw a

915
00:45:58,200 --> 00:46:01,080
Speaker 2: couple of pitch plays yesterday with Josh hunder center in

916
00:46:01,120 --> 00:46:04,160
Speaker 2: twelve personnel to James Cook to get the ball outside.

917
00:46:04,840 --> 00:46:09,160
Speaker 2: So yeah, I'm I'll give my broadcast partner Eric Would

918
00:46:09,160 --> 00:46:10,839
Speaker 2: a lot of credit. He's been asking for this since

919
00:46:10,840 --> 00:46:12,640
Speaker 2: the second half of last season. Now, the Bills did

920
00:46:12,719 --> 00:46:17,279
Speaker 2: do a relatively fair amount of play action in the

921
00:46:17,320 --> 00:46:19,640
Speaker 2: first half of the season last year, but then got

922
00:46:19,640 --> 00:46:21,520
Speaker 2: away from it in the second half of the season,

923
00:46:21,560 --> 00:46:24,200
Speaker 2: and it may have been one of the contributing factors

924
00:46:24,200 --> 00:46:26,120
Speaker 2: to why the offense did look like such a heavy

925
00:46:26,160 --> 00:46:28,040
Speaker 2: lift in the second half of the season last year.

926
00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:31,720
Speaker 2: It's encouraging to see them going to that more often,

927
00:46:32,280 --> 00:46:34,839
Speaker 2: very early here into a ton of it in week one.

928
00:46:35,239 --> 00:46:38,319
Speaker 2: They did considerably more of it in week two with

929
00:46:38,600 --> 00:46:43,520
Speaker 2: much better returns. So we'll see if it continues. But

930
00:46:43,719 --> 00:46:46,239
Speaker 2: I think just by virtue of the fact that you

931
00:46:46,360 --> 00:46:50,080
Speaker 2: have a twelve personnel, two tight end grouping that through

932
00:46:50,120 --> 00:46:53,520
Speaker 2: the first two weeks has gotten you some pretty consistent production.

933
00:46:54,160 --> 00:46:56,360
Speaker 2: I think that caters to Josh being under center in

934
00:46:56,440 --> 00:46:59,279
Speaker 2: that personnel grouping more just by virtue of using it.

935
00:47:00,040 --> 00:47:02,200
Speaker 2: Let's go back to the phones and to Keith in Holland,

936
00:47:02,239 --> 00:47:05,160
Speaker 2: what do you got for his Keith? Uh?

937
00:47:05,280 --> 00:47:09,920
Speaker 12: Yeah, what I'd like to say, first of all, good afternoon, gentlemen.

938
00:47:10,719 --> 00:47:16,480
Speaker 12: The only game I got DVR from the Bills and

939
00:47:16,560 --> 00:47:20,080
Speaker 12: I kept on my television is the New England game

940
00:47:20,080 --> 00:47:22,080
Speaker 12: where we scored on almost every possession a couple of

941
00:47:22,120 --> 00:47:27,799
Speaker 12: years ago. I'd like to say that this game was

942
00:47:28,320 --> 00:47:32,719
Speaker 12: almost as perfect as that game. Everybody played individually. They

943
00:47:32,760 --> 00:47:39,960
Speaker 12: played wonderfully, both the offensive line, the defense, Josh, the receivers,

944
00:47:40,239 --> 00:47:43,000
Speaker 12: and also I thought the scheme with the running that

945
00:47:43,040 --> 00:47:47,319
Speaker 12: we did was also a perfect a perfect play call.

946
00:47:47,400 --> 00:47:49,080
Speaker 12: So I think it was one of the most complete

947
00:47:49,120 --> 00:47:52,680
Speaker 12: games that I've ever seen the Bills play. And of

948
00:47:52,680 --> 00:47:55,920
Speaker 12: course the execution was there as well. So it was

949
00:47:56,000 --> 00:47:57,960
Speaker 12: just an excellent game and it shows us what they're

950
00:47:58,000 --> 00:48:01,040
Speaker 12: capable of, and I really enjoyed it. I'll let you

951
00:48:01,040 --> 00:48:01,720
Speaker 12: guys comment.

952
00:48:02,080 --> 00:48:06,200
Speaker 2: Okay, thanks, Keith, appreciate the call. Yeah, I mean, all around,

953
00:48:06,280 --> 00:48:09,760
Speaker 2: it was a pretty solid performance. I'm sure they're dicing

954
00:48:09,800 --> 00:48:12,040
Speaker 2: it up and trying to find corrections, but I don't

955
00:48:12,080 --> 00:48:15,200
Speaker 2: know that they're going to find too many from yesterday's performance.

956
00:48:15,239 --> 00:48:18,799
Speaker 4: And I appreciate your your comparison to the New England game,

957
00:48:18,840 --> 00:48:21,160
Speaker 4: and I see what your point is. They Yeah, they

958
00:48:21,160 --> 00:48:23,799
Speaker 4: were efficient and in the New England game, they score

959
00:48:23,840 --> 00:48:29,200
Speaker 4: on every every possession and all that. This Raiders team

960
00:48:29,640 --> 00:48:32,719
Speaker 4: is not New England Patriots in the playoffs two years ago,

961
00:48:32,880 --> 00:48:35,319
Speaker 4: and they're they're not that, they're not a playoff team.

962
00:48:35,360 --> 00:48:39,160
Speaker 4: So yes, it's it was a little like that, but

963
00:48:39,360 --> 00:48:41,799
Speaker 4: it kind of reminds you that. But this Raider team

964
00:48:41,840 --> 00:48:46,680
Speaker 4: is not the New England Patriots. So yeah, it's a

965
00:48:47,160 --> 00:48:50,520
Speaker 4: that's where your comparison falls apart. But it's but I

966
00:48:50,520 --> 00:48:53,080
Speaker 4: see your point. The Bills did look like that.

967
00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:55,720
Speaker 2: But that's what you should do against lesser opponents. You

968
00:48:55,800 --> 00:48:58,040
Speaker 2: dominated them and win going away, and they did that.

969
00:48:58,080 --> 00:49:00,000
Speaker 4: The league is all about having a lot of clue

970
00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:02,359
Speaker 4: those games with one possession of Bills beat them by

971
00:49:02,360 --> 00:49:06,160
Speaker 4: twenty eight points. Twenty eight points. Yeah, that's not good

972
00:49:06,200 --> 00:49:06,520
Speaker 4: for them.

973
00:49:06,600 --> 00:49:09,719
Speaker 2: There aren't a lot of layups on Buffalo schedule this year.

974
00:49:10,160 --> 00:49:14,480
Speaker 2: This might have been perceived as one, and it proved

975
00:49:14,520 --> 00:49:18,480
Speaker 2: to be after the early going. But as we know,

976
00:49:18,600 --> 00:49:20,480
Speaker 2: there are very few gimmes in the NFL.

977
00:49:20,560 --> 00:49:22,239
Speaker 4: There could be a lot of layups, but you don't

978
00:49:22,239 --> 00:49:23,920
Speaker 4: know it until after the season is completely over.

979
00:49:23,960 --> 00:49:26,240
Speaker 3: You look back at oh yeah that yeah, yeah, those teams.

980
00:49:26,400 --> 00:49:28,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, you can checked all you want going into it.

981
00:49:28,920 --> 00:49:30,480
Speaker 4: You don't know what these teams are. I mean, who

982
00:49:30,800 --> 00:49:32,040
Speaker 4: the Washington Commanders at two?

983
00:49:32,080 --> 00:49:32,399
Speaker 3: And oh?

984
00:49:32,440 --> 00:49:37,120
Speaker 4: Come on? You know now some of these teams, allah

985
00:49:37,200 --> 00:49:40,920
Speaker 4: the Philadelphia Eagles last year, get that fourth place schedule

986
00:49:41,960 --> 00:49:45,120
Speaker 4: and they're good enough to flex on those teams. You know,

987
00:49:45,480 --> 00:49:49,000
Speaker 4: they look a lot better because they play that schedule.

988
00:49:49,960 --> 00:49:52,000
Speaker 4: Maybe the Giants last year were a little bit of that.

989
00:49:55,320 --> 00:49:58,160
Speaker 4: Now it's different, and you know, some of that stuff

990
00:49:58,200 --> 00:50:02,120
Speaker 4: comes to light and you're some teams struggle, but you

991
00:50:02,160 --> 00:50:05,040
Speaker 4: can't really evaluate their schedule until it's all said and done.

992
00:50:06,239 --> 00:50:09,000
Speaker 4: And then even then, you're like the Buffalo Bills. You're

993
00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:11,759
Speaker 4: a contender and you're a heavyweight and you're swinging it

994
00:50:11,800 --> 00:50:13,200
Speaker 4: out with the big boys, and you look back and

995
00:50:13,239 --> 00:50:15,200
Speaker 4: you lose to Jacksonville who went three and thirteen.

996
00:50:16,400 --> 00:50:16,680
Speaker 3: You know.

997
00:50:19,239 --> 00:50:23,040
Speaker 4: We've seen it happen, right, So there ain't no layups.

998
00:50:23,680 --> 00:50:25,440
Speaker 4: There are not any layups.

999
00:50:26,320 --> 00:50:29,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, this league's just too competitive. We have to take

1000
00:50:29,400 --> 00:50:31,640
Speaker 2: a break. But our number two will be more of

1001
00:50:31,680 --> 00:50:33,960
Speaker 2: your phone calls. We're also gonna hit you with the

1002

Speaker 2: The baby for a one yard touchdown run. As that

1045
00:54:09,480 --> 00:54:12,200
Speaker 2: will do it, Kyle Allen takes another knee and the

1046
00:54:12,239 --> 00:54:15,640
Speaker 2: final thirty seconds on the closs will take away. As

1047
00:54:15,680 --> 00:54:18,680
Speaker 2: the Bills improved to one and one on the season,

1048
00:54:18,960 --> 00:54:23,200
Speaker 2: were they convincing thirty eight to ten victory over the

1049
00:54:23,280 --> 00:54:24,480
Speaker 2: Las Vegas Raiders?

1050
00:54:26,560 --> 00:54:29,000
Speaker 4: That is your Toshiba.

1051
00:54:28,360 --> 00:54:34,280
Speaker 2: Game rewind Toshiba, the official copier company of the Buffalo Bills,

1052
00:54:34,840 --> 00:54:38,719
Speaker 2: and uh yeah. After an early seven to seven tie,

1053
00:54:39,520 --> 00:54:42,120
Speaker 2: the Bills ran off and left the Raiders.

1054
00:54:42,480 --> 00:54:46,360
Speaker 4: Who Yeah, and it was uh, it was just a

1055
00:54:46,560 --> 00:54:52,440
Speaker 4: slow steady just two cars. One's moving really fast and

1056
00:54:52,480 --> 00:54:53,920
Speaker 4: the other one was just not keeping up. And it

1057
00:54:54,080 --> 00:54:55,360
Speaker 4: just got further and further.

1058
00:54:55,440 --> 00:54:57,279
Speaker 2: And how do we get this thing out of second year?

1059
00:54:57,320 --> 00:55:00,360
Speaker 4: Couldn't They just couldn't get out of second gear offense,

1060
00:55:00,400 --> 00:55:02,880
Speaker 4: couldn't get anything any continuity. As you said, they were

1061
00:55:02,920 --> 00:55:06,200
Speaker 4: only like one or two drives that lasted long five plays,

1062
00:55:07,239 --> 00:55:10,200
Speaker 4: So they just couldn't get there. Could of going there

1063
00:55:10,840 --> 00:55:17,360
Speaker 4: the raining rushing rushing champs from last year minus to

1064
00:55:17,440 --> 00:55:21,040
Speaker 4: your Oh my gosh, So the Raiders got to go

1065
00:55:21,040 --> 00:55:23,880
Speaker 4: back to the drawing board. It doesn't get easier.

1066
00:55:23,480 --> 00:55:25,240
Speaker 2: For the Pittsburgh at home this week.

1067
00:55:25,600 --> 00:55:30,440
Speaker 4: Pittsburgh at home. And you know, you wonder because everybody

1068
00:55:30,440 --> 00:55:34,000
Speaker 4: will try anything. The Raiders stayed in West Virginia at

1069
00:55:34,000 --> 00:55:37,080
Speaker 4: the Greenbrier all week to get on the Eastern, the

1070
00:55:37,160 --> 00:55:41,319
Speaker 4: Eastern time zone, just you know, try something different, get

1071
00:55:41,360 --> 00:55:45,080
Speaker 4: get a different result coming back East. And you gotta

1072
00:55:45,120 --> 00:55:47,560
Speaker 4: wonder if that had an effect on the players.

1073
00:55:48,200 --> 00:55:53,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, I I just don't understand the logic behind it.

1074
00:55:53,760 --> 00:55:56,320
Speaker 2: If you had two straight games on the East coast.

1075
00:55:56,880 --> 00:55:59,879
Speaker 2: I could get behind that decision, you know, get yourself acclimated.

1076
00:56:00,080 --> 00:56:01,640
Speaker 3: They played in Denver on Week one.

1077
00:56:01,880 --> 00:56:04,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, like it's Denver, it's a hop of a flight

1078
00:56:04,239 --> 00:56:04,960
Speaker 2: to Las Vegas.

1079
00:56:04,960 --> 00:56:07,200
Speaker 4: You're gonna walk from Denver to Vegas.

1080
00:56:08,360 --> 00:56:10,360
Speaker 2: Across the Continental Divide.

1081
00:56:11,160 --> 00:56:13,759
Speaker 3: I'm joking. You can't do it. You could, but I mean, yeah, it.

1082
00:56:13,719 --> 00:56:17,000
Speaker 2: Would take care while it's it's right there.

1083
00:56:17,160 --> 00:56:21,839
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a hot The plane doesn't even get out,

1084
00:56:22,040 --> 00:56:24,319
Speaker 4: get off the runway before it puts its landing gear

1085
00:56:24,360 --> 00:56:27,560
Speaker 4: back down to land. I mean, Vegas is right there.

1086
00:56:29,360 --> 00:56:33,040
Speaker 2: And you decide, not only do you decide you're going

1087
00:56:33,120 --> 00:56:35,399

1111
00:57:50,360 --> 00:57:53,000
Speaker 2: expense is incurred after dropping a twenty eight point decision

1112
00:57:53,040 --> 00:57:54,200
Speaker 2: in the game at the end of the week.

1113
00:57:55,240 --> 00:57:56,880

00:58:08,120 --> 00:58:10,960
Speaker 2: to spend How about no?

1119
00:58:10,960 --> 00:58:16,240
Speaker 4: No, oh boy, you know what we can laugh about

1120
00:58:16,240 --> 00:58:18,200
Speaker 4: here in Buffalo, but it's a real thing for the

1121
00:58:18,240 --> 00:58:20,600
Speaker 4: coaching player. They're like, you know, they're you know, their

00:58:43,160 --> 00:58:44,120
Speaker 4: hitting here with the kids.

1133
00:58:44,160 --> 00:58:44,760

Speaker 3: Get that did not go well?

1135
00:58:50,000 --> 00:58:52,720
Speaker 2: Everybody's gonna be looking at McDaniel's sideways coming in the

1136
00:58:52,720 --> 00:58:53,400
Speaker 2: building today.

1137
00:58:54,440 --> 00:58:55,440
Speaker 4: Oh my gosh.

1138
00:58:55,600 --> 00:58:57,440
Speaker 2: Let's get back to the phones. At eight o three

1139
00:58:57,800 --> 00:59:01,960
Speaker 2: five point fifty one, eight eight five fifty the number

1140
00:59:01,960 --> 00:59:03,800
Speaker 2: to call and open lines for you.

1141
00:59:03,920 --> 00:59:04,200
Speaker 3: There.

1142
00:59:04,480 --> 00:59:07,200
Speaker 2: We lead off this segment with Steve and Amherst. What

1143
00:59:07,200 --> 00:59:08,000
Speaker 2: do you got for a Steve?

1144
00:59:09,360 --> 00:59:12,520
Speaker 17: I thought yesterday when I turned the game on the

1145
00:59:12,560 --> 00:59:15,800
Speaker 17: first two possessions, I'm not a smart guy, and I

1146
00:59:15,880 --> 00:59:18,880
Speaker 17: knew what the Buffalo Bills were gonna do. And then

1147
00:59:18,920 --> 00:59:22,120
Speaker 17: after that they decided we're not gonna play into their hands.

1148
00:59:22,160 --> 00:59:25,640
Speaker 17: We're gonna have them off balance. And Josh can do

1149
00:59:25,720 --> 00:59:29,120
Speaker 17: what he does best when the defenses have no idea

1150
00:59:29,440 --> 00:59:32,200
Speaker 17: of what Josh is gonna do. Then it affects the

1151
00:59:32,240 --> 00:59:35,800
Speaker 17: whole team. The defense plays better, and we just.

1152
00:59:36,320 --> 00:59:36,960
Speaker 5: Do what we do.

1153
00:59:37,200 --> 00:59:40,120
Speaker 17: We just win. I'm gonna hang up and wait for

1154
00:59:40,160 --> 00:59:40,640
Speaker 17: your comments.

1155
00:59:41,040 --> 00:59:43,320
Speaker 4: All right, I'll tell you what. I'm glad you said that, Steve,

1156
00:59:43,360 --> 00:59:45,240
Speaker 4: you knew what the bill was gonna happen after the

1157
00:59:45,360 --> 00:59:47,880
Speaker 4: Raiders went on a five play, seventy five yard drive

1158
00:59:47,920 --> 00:59:50,280
Speaker 4: and chucked it into the end zone like it was nothing,

1159
00:59:50,320 --> 00:59:51,960
Speaker 4: and then the Bills come out and go three it out.

1160
00:59:53,320 --> 00:59:57,520
Speaker 4: I'm glad you knew because I had doubts. I was

1161
00:59:57,600 --> 01:00:01,280
Speaker 4: not feeling it turned out to be right, and I

1162
01:00:01,280 --> 01:00:03,480
Speaker 4: hope I don't know if you you might be you know,

1163
01:00:05,040 --> 01:00:05,840
Speaker 4: maybe drinking.

1164
01:00:05,640 --> 01:00:07,600
Speaker 2: Our chain maybe is smarter than the average bear.

1165
01:00:08,240 --> 01:00:10,040
Speaker 4: I know there was a lot of people in that stadium,

1166
01:00:10,040 --> 01:00:11,480
Speaker 4: and I was one of them that weren't feeling it.

1167
01:00:11,520 --> 01:00:12,880
Speaker 4: I thought that was going to be a dog fight.

1168
01:00:13,000 --> 01:00:15,560
Speaker 2: There was a little bit of anxiety there after the

1169
01:00:15,760 --> 01:00:18,120
Speaker 2: touchdown drive by the Raiders to open the game.

1170
01:00:18,240 --> 01:00:20,240
Speaker 3: And then the three and out by the Bills.

1171
01:00:20,840 --> 01:00:23,520
Speaker 2: Right punting away and you're like, oh, we got here.

1172
01:00:24,240 --> 01:00:26,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, that was not I was not liking it.

1173
01:00:27,400 --> 01:00:29,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, there were a few boo birds out after that

1174
01:00:29,240 --> 01:00:31,680
Speaker 2: possession because they had run twice, if I remember, right

1175
01:00:32,200 --> 01:00:35,040
Speaker 2: on that three and out, and people weren't exactly thrilled

1176
01:00:35,040 --> 01:00:38,560
Speaker 2: with that. But they made some adjustments on defense as

1177
01:00:38,600 --> 01:00:42,080
Speaker 2: well as offense, and after that, I mean they looked

1178
01:00:42,080 --> 01:00:42,840
Speaker 2: like a track team.

1179
01:00:43,440 --> 01:00:43,640
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1180
01:00:43,640 --> 01:00:45,680
Speaker 4: It was good.

1181
01:00:45,880 --> 01:00:48,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, terms of putting up points anyway, right, maybe not

1182
01:00:48,840 --> 01:00:51,680
Speaker 2: in terms of big plays, but literally on the scoreboard.

1183
01:00:51,680 --> 01:00:54,479
Speaker 2: They ran away from the Raiders back to the phones

1184
01:00:54,560 --> 01:00:56,360
Speaker 2: into sam in Rochester. What do you got for a

1185
01:00:56,440 --> 01:00:58,480
Speaker 2: sam Oh?

1186
01:00:58,560 --> 01:01:02,640
Speaker 18: Guys loved the Shoh watch every days. I just wanted

1187
01:01:02,640 --> 01:01:06,400
Speaker 18: to comment on James Cook. You know, you can say

1188
01:01:06,440 --> 01:01:08,920
Speaker 18: what you want on his yards for carrying all that,

1189
01:01:09,080 --> 01:01:13,480
Speaker 18: but this guy is special. Literally on every run that

1190
01:01:13,880 --> 01:01:17,480
Speaker 18: he made, he never gave up. You know, you'd think

1191
01:01:17,480 --> 01:01:20,360
Speaker 18: he was tackled and he would scoot for another yard

1192
01:01:20,440 --> 01:01:22,520
Speaker 18: or two. A couple of times he ran into a

1193
01:01:22,560 --> 01:01:25,200
Speaker 18: pile and he'd come out in front of the pile.

1194
01:01:25,320 --> 01:01:28,760
Speaker 18: I mean, it was just he's just I think he's special,

1195
01:01:28,760 --> 01:01:30,919
Speaker 18: and I think he's gonna make a big impact this year.

1196
01:01:31,360 --> 01:01:34,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's as we said earlier, he's a pretty slippery

1197
01:01:34,280 --> 01:01:36,480
Speaker 2: back Sam. I mean, even when people think they have

1198
01:01:36,600 --> 01:01:39,800
Speaker 2: him wrapped up, he kind of shakes free and gets

1199
01:01:39,800 --> 01:01:42,240
Speaker 2: an extra yard or two, which can be valuable. I mean,

1200
01:01:42,280 --> 01:01:44,000
Speaker 2: Steve mentioned it at the top of the show. There

1201
01:01:44,040 --> 01:01:45,280
Speaker 2: was one play it looked like he was going to

1202
01:01:45,320 --> 01:01:47,040
Speaker 2: get dropped for a four yard loss. He turns it

1203
01:01:47,080 --> 01:01:49,720
Speaker 2: into a two yard game. That six yard difference to

1204
01:01:49,720 --> 01:01:54,080
Speaker 2: set up second and eight is gigantic. Any offensive coordinator

1205
01:01:54,120 --> 01:01:56,720
Speaker 2: will tell you that calling a play on second and

1206
01:01:56,760 --> 01:01:58,800
Speaker 2: eight is a lot easier than second and twelve.

1207
01:01:58,880 --> 01:02:01,400
Speaker 3: The only the was face it.

1208
01:02:01,400 --> 01:02:04,640
Speaker 4: The only difference between a great back and a not

1209
01:02:04,680 --> 01:02:07,480
Speaker 4: so great back, or a mediocre running back or a

1210
01:02:07,480 --> 01:02:10,919
Speaker 4: back that's just another guy is their ability to get

1211
01:02:11,040 --> 01:02:14,240
Speaker 4: yards that are not there, that you didn't know were there.

1212
01:02:15,080 --> 01:02:17,160
Speaker 4: That's the difference. Anybody can get the ball in hand

1213
01:02:17,160 --> 01:02:20,000
Speaker 4: off and run through a hole that's there, that's well blocked,

1214
01:02:20,000 --> 01:02:22,000
Speaker 4: and you can get to the second level. But can

1215
01:02:22,040 --> 01:02:26,320
Speaker 4: they get extra yards? Can they get yards that only

1216
01:02:26,400 --> 01:02:30,880
Speaker 4: they could get. That's the difference. And that's what James

1217
01:02:30,880 --> 01:02:34,800
Speaker 4: Cook did a lot of yesterday. He got yards that

1218
01:02:35,800 --> 01:02:38,560
Speaker 4: didn't need that Nobody would have known they were there

1219
01:02:38,640 --> 01:02:42,200
Speaker 4: unless he saw him and got them. That's the difference

1220
01:02:42,200 --> 01:02:45,320
Speaker 4: between a really good back and just another guy. A

1221
01:02:45,400 --> 01:02:49,480
Speaker 4: running back who's really really good surprises you with the

1222
01:02:49,600 --> 01:02:52,560
Speaker 4: yards he's able to and that means a four yard

1223
01:02:52,600 --> 01:02:55,439
Speaker 4: run as well as a sixty yard run. He gets

1224
01:02:55,520 --> 01:02:57,400
Speaker 4: yards that you didn't think we're gonna be there or

1225
01:02:57,400 --> 01:03:00,680
Speaker 4: shouldn't have been there. And Cook showed some of that yesterday,

1226
01:03:00,760 --> 01:03:03,040
Speaker 4: no question about it. And that's you know, that's the

1227
01:03:03,080 --> 01:03:05,600
Speaker 4: measure of a great back when they surprise you with

1228
01:03:05,640 --> 01:03:06,760
Speaker 4: the amount of yards they can get.

1229
01:03:06,840 --> 01:03:09,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, help keep the Bills on schedule in terms of

1230
01:03:09,040 --> 01:03:11,480
Speaker 2: down and distance for sure for most of the day.

1231
01:03:11,960 --> 01:03:14,320
Speaker 2: To Wayne and Orchard Park. Next, what do you got Wayne?

1232
01:03:15,600 --> 01:03:19,360
Speaker 19: Hey, guys, this is where Steve might take away from

1233
01:03:19,360 --> 01:03:21,840
Speaker 19: the game yesterday. And I'd like to have your input

1234
01:03:21,880 --> 01:03:24,080
Speaker 19: on this, if you would please. In all your playing

1235
01:03:24,200 --> 01:03:28,320
Speaker 19: time as a collegiate and a pro, have you ever

1236
01:03:28,440 --> 01:03:33,960
Speaker 19: experienced a time of possession like the Bills head in

1237
01:03:34,040 --> 01:03:37,000
Speaker 19: the third quarter And how does that affect the psyche

1238
01:03:37,080 --> 01:03:39,280
Speaker 19: of the other team when they can't even get on

1239
01:03:39,280 --> 01:03:39,760
Speaker 19: the field.

1240
01:03:40,240 --> 01:03:41,800
Speaker 6: I'll hang up and wait for your answer.

1241
01:03:41,960 --> 01:03:46,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, I got to tell you, I would imagine, yes

1242
01:03:46,400 --> 01:03:48,200
Speaker 4: that there was a game when we did. I can't

1243
01:03:48,200 --> 01:03:52,000
Speaker 4: remember if the specific instance, no, except that maybe being

1244
01:03:52,040 --> 01:03:53,760
Speaker 4: on the wrong end of it, which will tell you

1245
01:03:53,800 --> 01:03:55,600
Speaker 4: how how what it does to the other team.

1246
01:03:55,800 --> 01:03:58,240
Speaker 2: Your guys didn't know is half time in possession because

1247
01:03:58,280 --> 01:03:58,840
Speaker 2: you scored.

1248
01:03:58,640 --> 01:04:01,200
Speaker 4: So fast, right, we didn't. That was thing like we

1249
01:04:01,200 --> 01:04:02,680
Speaker 4: were on the wrong end of it in Super Bowl

1250
01:04:02,720 --> 01:04:03,280
Speaker 4: twenty five.

1251
01:04:04,320 --> 01:04:06,000
Speaker 2: That was almost forty to twenty in right.

1252
01:04:06,280 --> 01:04:09,640
Speaker 4: And so I can tell you that when you're on

1253
01:04:09,680 --> 01:04:11,560
Speaker 4: the wrong end of it, you remember that stuff because

1254
01:04:11,560 --> 01:04:17,160
Speaker 4: it's no fun. So the Bills themselves, this team was

1255
01:04:17,240 --> 01:04:19,840
Speaker 4: on the wrong end of it. On the right end

1256
01:04:19,840 --> 01:04:22,840
Speaker 4: of it last year in Week three against Miami, they

1257
01:04:22,840 --> 01:04:25,760
Speaker 4: had the ball forty minutes and forty seconds, even more

1258
01:04:25,800 --> 01:04:26,840
Speaker 4: than they did yesterday.

1259
01:04:27,200 --> 01:04:29,160
Speaker 2: The problem was they were two for five in the red.

1260
01:04:29,120 --> 01:04:30,720
Speaker 4: Zone, right, They couldn't get it in the end zone,

1261
01:04:31,120 --> 01:04:33,280
Speaker 4: and they lost the game by three. I made the

1262
01:04:33,320 --> 01:04:36,440
Speaker 4: point on Bills tonight that if you've got time of

1263
01:04:36,480 --> 01:04:39,080
Speaker 4: possession of forty minutes, you know this, you're not losing

1264
01:04:39,120 --> 01:04:41,000
Speaker 4: by double digits. You're gonna have a chance to win

1265
01:04:41,040 --> 01:04:44,520
Speaker 4: it if you can make that last score. You can't

1266
01:04:44,600 --> 01:04:47,840
Speaker 4: score enough points when you only have the ball twenty

1267
01:04:47,880 --> 01:04:50,800
Speaker 4: minutes of the game and the other team, I mean,

1268
01:04:50,800 --> 01:04:53,480
Speaker 4: they got to have them, you know, they're gonna have

1269
01:04:53,520 --> 01:04:56,880
Speaker 4: some positive stuff just to keep the ball like that, So.

1270
01:04:58,760 --> 01:04:59,600
Speaker 3: That's where the Bills were.

1271
01:04:59,680 --> 01:05:02,800
Speaker 4: Yes, I mean the Raiders could have done some stuff

1272
01:05:02,840 --> 01:05:05,720
Speaker 4: and made some plays, but if they couldn't get the

1273
01:05:05,760 --> 01:05:09,040
Speaker 4: ball back, they just ran out of time. And the

1274
01:05:09,080 --> 01:05:11,640
Speaker 4: Bills were so efficient five to seven in the red zone.

1275
01:05:11,960 --> 01:05:14,800
Speaker 4: They finished those drives off and it was it turned

1276
01:05:14,800 --> 01:05:17,720
Speaker 4: into an ugly one. So no, I don't remember ever

1277
01:05:17,760 --> 01:05:20,600
Speaker 4: being on the right side of it. I remember being

1278
01:05:20,600 --> 01:05:22,080
Speaker 4: on the wrong side of it. And that answers the

1279
01:05:22,120 --> 01:05:24,840
Speaker 4: second part of your question, what's it due to the

1280
01:05:24,880 --> 01:05:27,160
Speaker 4: other team? It stinks?

1281
01:05:27,720 --> 01:05:30,840
Speaker 2: Yea third quarter alone, the Bills had the ball for

1282
01:05:30,960 --> 01:05:34,880
Speaker 2: twelve minutes and fifty seconds, the Raiders had it obviously

1283
01:05:34,920 --> 01:05:38,160
Speaker 2: for the remaining two minutes and ten seconds, and by

1284
01:05:38,320 --> 01:05:40,960
Speaker 2: the end of three quarters of play, the Bills had

1285
01:05:41,000 --> 01:05:44,400
Speaker 2: had the football for thirty minutes to the Pats, to

1286
01:05:44,440 --> 01:05:48,320
Speaker 2: the Patriots to the Raiders fifteen minutes. So it was

1287
01:05:48,360 --> 01:05:51,840
Speaker 2: pretty lopsided by halftime and only got more so when

1288
01:05:51,840 --> 01:05:53,680
Speaker 2: the Bills come out to start the second half and

1289
01:05:53,720 --> 01:05:55,320
Speaker 2: go on that nine minute.

1290
01:05:55,080 --> 01:05:57,560
Speaker 4: Drive nine oh one and stick it in the end

1291
01:05:57,640 --> 01:06:02,200
Speaker 4: zone fifteen plays five first down. Yeah, that was beauty.

1292
01:06:02,240 --> 01:06:04,320
Speaker 2: And you know they go forward on fourth down obviously,

1293
01:06:04,360 --> 01:06:06,160
Speaker 2: and it proves to be the backbreaker because that made

1294
01:06:06,200 --> 01:06:08,680
Speaker 2: it twenty eight ten at that point in time. And

1295
01:06:08,800 --> 01:06:10,400
Speaker 2: I mean you just look at the body language of

1296
01:06:10,400 --> 01:06:12,680
Speaker 2: the Raiders after that, and it's like, Okay, warm up

1297
01:06:12,720 --> 01:06:16,120
Speaker 2: the bus because this one's this one's getting put to

1298
01:06:16,160 --> 01:06:20,600
Speaker 2: bed early. Doneze to Judy in Buffalo. Next, what's up Judy?

1299
01:06:22,040 --> 01:06:24,360
Speaker 16: First of all, Chris, I caught you on the radio

1300
01:06:24,440 --> 01:06:27,160
Speaker 16: yesterday while in transit, and let me sell you. I

1301
01:06:27,720 --> 01:06:28,640
Speaker 16: was very impressed.

1302
01:06:29,040 --> 01:06:30,640
Speaker 2: Ohky, Judy, I appreciate that.

1303
01:06:31,200 --> 01:06:31,560
Speaker 20: All right.

1304
01:06:31,680 --> 01:06:35,800
Speaker 16: Next, well, obviously, the defensive plan against the Bills is

1305
01:06:35,840 --> 01:06:39,400
Speaker 16: the pass rush, pass rush, pass rush. What does it

1306
01:06:39,440 --> 01:06:43,560
Speaker 16: take to develop a screen pass? It's not in Buffalo's

1307
01:06:45,760 --> 01:06:49,000
Speaker 16: purview because if I've seen two screen passes in the

1308
01:06:49,120 --> 01:06:52,640
Speaker 16: last six years, I think that's a lot. What is

1309
01:06:52,680 --> 01:06:56,000
Speaker 16: it that we're missing? I would think they have the personnel.

1310
01:06:57,080 --> 01:06:59,960
Speaker 16: Why don't they use it? Other teams use it very effectively.

1311
01:07:00,240 --> 01:07:02,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a good question, Judy. We've been banging it around.

1312
01:07:02,840 --> 01:07:08,880
Speaker 4: My My theory has always been this. When teams play Buffalo,

1313
01:07:08,960 --> 01:07:10,520
Speaker 4: there's two things they do, and I said it earlier

1314
01:07:10,560 --> 01:07:12,640
Speaker 4: in the show. They keep a cover two lid on

1315
01:07:12,720 --> 01:07:15,680
Speaker 4: the defense. They keep two deep safeties, and they never

1316
01:07:15,800 --> 01:07:19,040
Speaker 4: do anything exotic in their pass rush, or very little

1317
01:07:19,320 --> 01:07:23,160
Speaker 4: exotic in their pass rush. All four down linemen from

1318
01:07:23,160 --> 01:07:25,680
Speaker 4: wherever they're coming, comes straight up in the field. They come,

1319
01:07:26,040 --> 01:07:27,920
Speaker 4: They stay in their lanes. They don't X and cross,

1320
01:07:27,960 --> 01:07:31,240
Speaker 4: they don't try and pick each picky offensive lineman off

1321
01:07:31,280 --> 01:07:33,560
Speaker 4: and trying X and stunt and all that. They just

1322
01:07:33,760 --> 01:07:37,280
Speaker 4: rush straight at Josh from four different spots and collapse

1323
01:07:37,320 --> 01:07:40,600
Speaker 4: the pocket because they don't want Josh to run. They

1324
01:07:40,600 --> 01:07:42,880
Speaker 4: don't want him to bust out of the pocket. They

1325
01:07:42,880 --> 01:07:45,040
Speaker 4: don't want to come around the outside of their defensive

1326
01:07:45,080 --> 01:07:49,400
Speaker 4: tackle mate and have Josh run for twenty up the middle.

1327
01:07:49,440 --> 01:07:54,959
Speaker 4: So what that does to a defensive line is they're

1328
01:07:55,000 --> 01:07:58,920
Speaker 4: so aware of Josh busting loose and getting through. They

1329
01:07:59,000 --> 01:08:03,280
Speaker 4: rush with their NTI hennah up and they're very aware

1330
01:08:03,720 --> 01:08:06,680
Speaker 4: that at a running back slips out to the side.

1331
01:08:06,680 --> 01:08:08,520
Speaker 4: They're very aware that a running back is in there

1332
01:08:08,600 --> 01:08:10,800
Speaker 4: kind of hang and hang and hanging and then slips away.

1333
01:08:11,760 --> 01:08:14,800
Speaker 4: They catch it two tenths or three tenths of a

1334
01:08:14,880 --> 01:08:18,320
Speaker 4: second quicker than they would normally, and that's all it takes.

1335
01:08:18,200 --> 01:08:21,120
Speaker 4: It's a split second. They're on it. It's hard to

1336
01:08:22,120 --> 01:08:27,280
Speaker 4: run a classic screen pass against a defense that thinks

1337
01:08:27,320 --> 01:08:29,280
Speaker 4: your quarterback is going to take off and run anyway.

1338
01:08:29,320 --> 01:08:31,960
Speaker 4: So they're rushing the passer like this with their eyes

1339
01:08:32,040 --> 01:08:34,599
Speaker 4: up and looking around. You can't fool them.

1340
01:08:34,640 --> 01:08:37,720
Speaker 2: And that's not even counting the defenses that deploy a

1341
01:08:37,800 --> 01:08:41,120
Speaker 2: spy on Josh Allen. Now you have a free defender

1342
01:08:41,120 --> 01:08:43,680
Speaker 2: out there covering no one who can go run at

1343
01:08:43,720 --> 01:08:45,640
Speaker 2: a screen play and blow it up if he wants to,

1344
01:08:45,680 --> 01:08:47,000
Speaker 2: if he recognizes it right.

1345
01:08:47,040 --> 01:08:49,519
Speaker 4: So they've got all these guys that are focused on

1346
01:08:49,560 --> 01:08:54,840
Speaker 4: your quarterback and in the backfield, and the Bills run

1347
01:08:55,200 --> 01:08:57,800
Speaker 4: face a lot of zone as well, because teams don't

1348
01:08:57,800 --> 01:08:59,800
Speaker 4: want to play man demand just for what I said.

1349
01:09:00,360 --> 01:09:02,759
Speaker 4: All these guys are chasing the receivers around. Each guy's

1350
01:09:02,760 --> 01:09:04,439
Speaker 4: got a guy and they're all looking around. Pretty soon

1351
01:09:04,520 --> 01:09:06,599
Speaker 4: Josh is running up behind up their back behind him

1352
01:09:06,760 --> 01:09:10,000
Speaker 4: because they they're not watching for him. So they play

1353
01:09:10,040 --> 01:09:11,920
Speaker 4: a lot of zone. So everybody's got their eyes in

1354
01:09:11,960 --> 01:09:16,200
Speaker 4: the backfield and especially linebackers who are gonna drop into coverage. Well,

1355
01:09:16,240 --> 01:09:19,080
Speaker 4: they're dropping into coverage, gonna pick up a tight end

1356
01:09:19,600 --> 01:09:23,320
Speaker 4: or running back, and they see those guys they're watching

1357
01:09:23,360 --> 01:09:25,000
Speaker 4: for him because they're a responsible All of a sudden

1358
01:09:25,000 --> 01:09:27,160
Speaker 4: they go, hey, he's doing a screen pass. So all

1359
01:09:27,160 --> 01:09:29,519
Speaker 4: of those things because of Josh being the guy he

1360
01:09:29,640 --> 01:09:35,120
Speaker 4: is and so dangerous with his legs and so willing

1361
01:09:35,200 --> 01:09:38,320
Speaker 4: to run in his past, they're like going, listen, we're

1362
01:09:38,360 --> 01:09:40,080
Speaker 4: gonna keep our eyes on that guy. And then when

1363
01:09:40,080 --> 01:09:41,960
Speaker 4: they're keeping their eyes on Josh, they're noticing all this

1364
01:09:42,000 --> 01:09:44,360
Speaker 4: other stuff that goes on. It's hard to execute an

1365
01:09:44,360 --> 01:09:47,600
Speaker 4: old fashioned screen pass as a Buffalo Bill's in the

1366
01:09:47,640 --> 01:09:49,640
Speaker 4: current point in history because of the quarterback they have

1367
01:09:50,160 --> 01:09:54,280
Speaker 4: and the way defenses choose to play that offense, that

1368
01:09:54,400 --> 01:09:57,200
Speaker 4: kind of play is tough to execute because they see

1369
01:09:57,240 --> 01:09:57,840
Speaker 4: it too quick.

1370
01:09:58,360 --> 01:10:01,320
Speaker 2: Now, they did run a bubble screen yesterday the Diggs.

1371
01:10:02,080 --> 01:10:04,720
Speaker 2: Yeah that's not yet, and they got some positive yardists there.

1372
01:10:04,760 --> 01:10:07,720
Speaker 2: So there are other kinds of screens they can utilize.

1373
01:10:07,720 --> 01:10:10,160
Speaker 4: They'll run those quick sideline screens where Josto grab it,

1374
01:10:10,280 --> 01:10:12,559
Speaker 4: sling it to the sideline and get a guy in space,

1375
01:10:12,640 --> 01:10:16,880
Speaker 4: digs in Space gave Davis in Space Hardy whoever. They'll

1376
01:10:16,920 --> 01:10:19,120
Speaker 4: see those guys and do a quick screen like that,

1377
01:10:19,240 --> 01:10:23,160
Speaker 4: But that's more of a modern day bubble screen, the

1378
01:10:23,280 --> 01:10:26,000
Speaker 4: old fashioned screen where the defensive line busts through and

1379
01:10:26,000 --> 01:10:27,920
Speaker 4: they think, oh, we got it. I beat my guy.

1380
01:10:27,960 --> 01:10:30,120
Speaker 4: I'm gonna sack the quarterback and they drop it right

1381
01:10:30,200 --> 01:10:32,439
Speaker 4: behind his back and the running backs waiting for it

1382
01:10:32,680 --> 01:10:34,800
Speaker 4: with the offensive line in front of him, and off

1383
01:10:34,840 --> 01:10:37,800
Speaker 4: they go. That's really hard to do against Josh Allen

1384
01:10:37,840 --> 01:10:40,519
Speaker 4: because of the way he's defended, or that's hard to

1385
01:10:40,560 --> 01:10:43,000
Speaker 4: execute execute for the Buffalo Bills because of the way

1386
01:10:43,080 --> 01:10:44,599
Speaker 4: defenses see Josh.

1387
01:10:44,800 --> 01:10:46,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's my that's my take.

1388
01:10:46,680 --> 01:10:49,360
Speaker 2: I kind of like that theory. Let's go back to

1389
01:10:49,400 --> 01:10:51,960
Speaker 2: the phones, though, and to Ray and Clarence next. What

1390
01:10:51,960 --> 01:10:52,479
Speaker 2: do you got for us?

1391
01:10:52,560 --> 01:10:52,720
Speaker 3: Ray?

1392
01:10:53,520 --> 01:10:57,120
Speaker 5: Hi, guys, I may seem hypocritical with my comments, but

1393
01:10:57,200 --> 01:11:01,040
Speaker 5: I get it. This is the very type of game

1394
01:11:01,080 --> 01:11:03,960
Speaker 5: plan that I think our team needed, I think Josh needed,

1395
01:11:04,600 --> 01:11:06,200
Speaker 5: and I hope I get them back on track. I

1396
01:11:06,200 --> 01:11:08,599
Speaker 5: think a couple of games, can you know, I don't know,

1397
01:11:08,720 --> 01:11:12,560
Speaker 5: not knock any stress out of them or pressure, but

1398
01:11:12,560 --> 01:11:16,120
Speaker 5: but I hate the way we came out, I you know,

1399
01:11:16,360 --> 01:11:20,200
Speaker 5: besides that one long game to gave Davis the arts

1400
01:11:20,200 --> 01:11:22,640
Speaker 5: for pass for low. I hate the thought when we

1401
01:11:24,000 --> 01:11:25,800
Speaker 5: first down and then we have a second and long

1402
01:11:25,880 --> 01:11:29,280
Speaker 5: and we run again. I mean, the pass is our strength,

1403
01:11:29,400 --> 01:11:33,120
Speaker 5: and I know Cook had a great game looking back,

1404
01:11:33,120 --> 01:11:35,240
Speaker 5: but I always look at things in the moment and

1405
01:11:35,640 --> 01:11:39,000
Speaker 5: some of those decisions. I hate that play calling and

1406
01:11:39,560 --> 01:11:41,640
Speaker 5: I know the result worked. It's about winning, I get it,

1407
01:11:41,680 --> 01:11:44,400
Speaker 5: but when it comes to those teams, you know, Miami,

1408
01:11:44,520 --> 01:11:48,320
Speaker 5: Kansas City, whoever we play, I want them to look

1409
01:11:48,360 --> 01:11:52,280
Speaker 5: comfortable all this like think and dunk, which, like I said,

1410
01:11:52,320 --> 01:11:54,200
Speaker 5: I know we needed it. We needed to get back

1411
01:11:54,200 --> 01:11:56,639
Speaker 5: on track and we needed to win. But I hope

1412
01:11:56,720 --> 01:11:59,880
Speaker 5: this isn't going to be our mojo going forward. I

1413
01:12:00,320 --> 01:12:03,559
Speaker 5: want to see the Josh Allen and the guys that

1414
01:12:03,600 --> 01:12:05,439
Speaker 5: we've been looking at the last couple of years. And

1415
01:12:05,880 --> 01:12:08,920
Speaker 5: I'm grateful for the wind we got there. But he

1416
01:12:09,040 --> 01:12:11,800
Speaker 5: just seemed handcuffed. And I get it. At least to

1417
01:12:11,840 --> 01:12:14,800
Speaker 5: start and even throughout the game, he didn't seemed like

1418
01:12:14,840 --> 01:12:18,880
Speaker 5: there was a good slow or he felt free. The

1419
01:12:18,920 --> 01:12:22,000
Speaker 5: stats shell otherwise, I know, but the eyeball test, to me.

1420
01:12:22,479 --> 01:12:24,240
Speaker 9: It's like oh, we're not there.

1421
01:12:25,080 --> 01:12:26,320
Speaker 5: But I don't know, what do you think. I know

1422
01:12:26,360 --> 01:12:27,120
Speaker 5: it's hypocritical.

1423
01:12:27,439 --> 01:12:29,280
Speaker 2: Well, I don't know if hypocritical is the word.

1424
01:12:29,360 --> 01:12:29,559
Speaker 4: Ray.

1425
01:12:29,600 --> 01:12:32,200
Speaker 2: I mean, I appreciate, I appreciate the thoughts. I don't

1426
01:12:32,200 --> 01:12:35,920
Speaker 2: know if hypocritical is the word. I think you have

1427
01:12:36,000 --> 01:12:41,320
Speaker 2: to come to realize that maybe what has been successful

1428
01:12:41,360 --> 01:12:43,519
Speaker 2: and productive for the Bills is good enough to get

1429
01:12:43,560 --> 01:12:47,639
Speaker 2: you to a certain point offensively. But when you get

1430
01:12:47,640 --> 01:12:49,599
Speaker 2: to the playoffs and you're playing some of the best

1431
01:12:49,640 --> 01:12:52,880
Speaker 2: defenses in football, that's probably the way you're going to

1432
01:12:52,960 --> 01:12:56,120
Speaker 2: have to play. I mean, look at what Patrick Mahomes

1433
01:12:56,160 --> 01:13:00,719
Speaker 2: did last year. Tyreek Hill gone every defense he's so played,

1434
01:13:00,800 --> 01:13:04,120
Speaker 2: top down, cover two shell, and what did he do.

1435
01:13:04,520 --> 01:13:09,640
Speaker 2: He adopted an efficient passing style where he utilized a

1436
01:13:09,640 --> 01:13:12,479
Speaker 2: lot of his receivers on short to intermediate routes and

1437
01:13:12,520 --> 01:13:16,240
Speaker 2: when opportunities presented himself, he would take a shot. But

1438
01:13:16,280 --> 01:13:18,040
Speaker 2: if it was more than two or three a game,

1439
01:13:18,080 --> 01:13:20,920
Speaker 2: it was a lot. He wrote it all the way

1440
01:13:20,920 --> 01:13:23,920
Speaker 2: to the Super Bowl and won the Super Bowl. Joe

1441
01:13:23,920 --> 01:13:27,599
Speaker 2: Burrow did the same thing. He got sacked almost seventy

1442
01:13:27,680 --> 01:13:30,040
Speaker 2: times two years ago. He said, enough of that crap.

1443
01:13:30,360 --> 01:13:33,000
Speaker 2: If I'm gonna get through a season healthy. I got

1444
01:13:33,000 --> 01:13:36,880
Speaker 2: to adopt a quick release approach in the passing game,

1445
01:13:36,880 --> 01:13:40,120
Speaker 2: and he and Zach Taylor huddled up. They devised that

1446
01:13:40,240 --> 01:13:43,040
Speaker 2: scheme and refined it where the ball is out of

1447
01:13:43,120 --> 01:13:45,400
Speaker 2: Joe Burrow's hands in two and a half seconds. He

1448
01:13:45,439 --> 01:13:47,280
Speaker 2: wrote it all the way to the AFC title game.

1449
01:13:47,640 --> 01:13:50,360
Speaker 2: So you may not like it, Ray, but if the

1450
01:13:50,360 --> 01:13:54,719
Speaker 2: Bills can be that efficient throwing short to intermediate passes

1451
01:13:54,960 --> 01:13:58,200
Speaker 2: most of the day, they're gonna do it because they're

1452
01:13:58,240 --> 01:14:02,160
Speaker 2: gonna win more games, even against good defenses.

1453
01:14:01,600 --> 01:14:03,439
Speaker 4: And they'll get better at doing it, and it'll look

1454
01:14:03,479 --> 01:14:06,439
Speaker 4: better and it'll be more slick. You're gonna have to

1455
01:14:06,479 --> 01:14:08,799
Speaker 4: be patient with it because that's what teams are forcing

1456
01:14:08,800 --> 01:14:09,519
Speaker 4: the Bills to do.

1457
01:14:11,000 --> 01:14:11,719
Speaker 3: In the NFL.

1458
01:14:12,360 --> 01:14:13,880
Speaker 4: I know it all sounds good, and fans would like

1459
01:14:13,920 --> 01:14:15,679
Speaker 4: to say, Hey, we're gonna run it whenever we want.

1460
01:14:15,760 --> 01:14:17,840
Speaker 4: We're gonna we're gonna throw the ball down the field

1461
01:14:17,840 --> 01:14:18,439
Speaker 4: and we're gonna.

1462
01:14:18,240 --> 01:14:18,679
Speaker 3: Do all that.

1463
01:14:18,760 --> 01:14:20,960
Speaker 4: Well. If a defense, and if an NFL defense lines

1464
01:14:21,000 --> 01:14:23,000
Speaker 4: up to take any of that away from you, you're

1465
01:14:23,040 --> 01:14:25,040
Speaker 4: an idiot to try and go out. You're not playing

1466
01:14:25,040 --> 01:14:27,000
Speaker 4: in a vacuum. Those guys are really good over there.

1467
01:14:27,040 --> 01:14:29,599
Speaker 4: Even bad teams are good over there. If they want

1468
01:14:29,600 --> 01:14:31,599
Speaker 4: to take away the run, they will line up and

1469
01:14:31,640 --> 01:14:33,800
Speaker 4: force you to throw it, or invite.

1470
01:14:33,400 --> 01:14:35,080
Speaker 2: You to throw it, what the Bills did yesterday.

1471
01:14:35,120 --> 01:14:37,120
Speaker 4: So that's what you're gonna have to be patient with that.

1472
01:14:37,360 --> 01:14:40,679
Speaker 4: That's that's the league we're living in right now. And

1473
01:14:41,200 --> 01:14:45,200
Speaker 4: so I don't think that the Bills don't still have

1474
01:14:45,320 --> 01:14:47,040
Speaker 4: that under the hood where they can drop back and

1475
01:14:47,400 --> 01:14:50,599
Speaker 4: Josh can bounce around back there and throw it. The

1476
01:14:50,640 --> 01:14:52,880
Speaker 4: plays that are gonna lead to that are the ones

1477
01:14:52,920 --> 01:14:55,519
Speaker 4: where Josh has been danking and dunking and all of

1478
01:14:55,560 --> 01:14:57,439
Speaker 4: a sudden they get a guy, a free rusher, they

1479
01:14:57,520 --> 01:15:01,360
Speaker 4: send an extra guy comes through, Josh breaks out, rolls

1480
01:15:01,400 --> 01:15:02,439
Speaker 4: to his right, and goes.

1481
01:15:02,280 --> 01:15:04,760
Speaker 2: Deep, so he did with Cave Davis late in the

1482
01:15:04,800 --> 01:15:05,439
Speaker 2: game yesterday.

1483
01:15:05,680 --> 01:15:09,479
Speaker 4: That's what will happen for the big play. It's tough

1484
01:15:09,600 --> 01:15:12,559
Speaker 4: to dial up a big play in the NFL in

1485
01:15:12,600 --> 01:15:17,559
Speaker 4: twenty twenty three because defenses won't are all about not

1486
01:15:17,720 --> 01:15:19,080
Speaker 4: giving up the deep ball.

1487
01:15:20,360 --> 01:15:21,479
Speaker 3: It's a passing league.

1488
01:15:22,200 --> 01:15:24,880
Speaker 4: Defenses have been burned enough to know that's not going

1489
01:15:24,960 --> 01:15:26,960
Speaker 4: to happen to us again, or it happened to them,

1490
01:15:26,960 --> 01:15:30,280
Speaker 4: it ain't happening to us, and they dropped Micah Hyde, Jordan,

1491
01:15:30,360 --> 01:15:32,479
Speaker 4: pull your deep. You ain't getting past.

1492
01:15:32,280 --> 01:15:34,320
Speaker 2: Them, and Ray, you can't have it both ways. And

1493
01:15:34,360 --> 01:15:36,599
Speaker 2: I'm not saying you were arguing this with your phone call,

1494
01:15:37,120 --> 01:15:40,080
Speaker 2: but it seemed like you were disappointed that the Bills

1495
01:15:40,080 --> 01:15:42,559
Speaker 2: didn't look like the Bills that get all the style

1496
01:15:42,640 --> 01:15:46,160
Speaker 2: points with big plays and long touchdowns. What would you

1497
01:15:46,240 --> 01:15:50,040
Speaker 2: rather have style points or victories? I mean, I think

1498
01:15:50,080 --> 01:15:52,679
Speaker 2: I know what your answer is. Just because the Bills

1499
01:15:52,680 --> 01:15:54,760
Speaker 2: didn't look like they did last year or even in

1500
01:15:54,800 --> 01:15:56,880
Speaker 2: twenty twenty one, when Josh is chucking the ball down

1501
01:15:56,960 --> 01:16:00,000
Speaker 2: the field, you should still be happy because this stuff

1502
01:16:00,080 --> 01:16:03,599
Speaker 2: isle of play with that degree of efficiency can win

1503
01:16:03,640 --> 01:16:07,200
Speaker 2: a lot of games, even in the postseason. So it's

1504
01:16:07,200 --> 01:16:09,479
Speaker 2: gonna be very interesting to see how it all unfolds

1505
01:16:09,479 --> 01:16:12,800
Speaker 2: and materializes because it's only two games. But if they

1506
01:16:12,840 --> 01:16:17,960
Speaker 2: can show proficiency in winning this way, you can go

1507
01:16:18,000 --> 01:16:19,800
Speaker 2: all the way to the Super Bowl playing like that.

1508
01:16:20,160 --> 01:16:21,000
Speaker 2: You really can't.

1509
01:16:21,560 --> 01:16:24,519
Speaker 4: Yeah, And of course, and the Chiefs proved it last year.

1510
01:16:24,560 --> 01:16:29,840
Speaker 4: That's the idea. It's just that's the way defenses play.

1511
01:16:30,000 --> 01:16:32,880
Speaker 4: You attack a defense where it's vulnerable. And in this

1512
01:16:32,960 --> 01:16:35,479
Speaker 4: day and age, that's where it's vulnerable. In the short

1513
01:16:35,520 --> 01:16:39,160
Speaker 4: and intermediate passing game, the quick release passing game. Get

1514
01:16:39,200 --> 01:16:41,240
Speaker 4: it out, throw it through a tight window and have

1515
01:16:41,320 --> 01:16:43,640
Speaker 4: the guy catch it and either break a tackle and

1516
01:16:43,640 --> 01:16:45,720
Speaker 4: get a big gain or get tackled. And it's now

1517
01:16:45,920 --> 01:16:47,760
Speaker 4: second and two or second and three.

1518
01:16:47,800 --> 01:16:50,400
Speaker 2: Don't forget thirty years ago Bill wa Wash won four

1519
01:16:50,439 --> 01:16:55,400
Speaker 2: Super Bowls doing that. It has merit if it has

1520
01:16:55,400 --> 01:16:57,479
Speaker 2: to historical significance in this if you've got.

1521
01:16:57,439 --> 01:17:00,479
Speaker 4: The right guy pulling the trigger, it's hard to defend.

1522
01:17:00,840 --> 01:17:01,719
Speaker 4: It's hard to defend.

1523
01:17:01,800 --> 01:17:03,519
Speaker 2: We have to take a break here, more of your

1524
01:17:03,520 --> 01:17:05,559
Speaker 2: phone calls. When we come back, we'll also take a

1525
01:17:05,560 --> 01:17:09,000
Speaker 2: trip around the locker room here on a Buffalo Football

1526
01:17:09,040 --> 01:17:30,519
Speaker 2: Monday on One Bill's Live. Stay tuned. All right, welcome

1527
01:17:30,520 --> 01:17:33,439
Speaker 2: back to one Bill's Live here on this Buffalo Football Monday,

1528
01:17:33,680 --> 01:17:38,280
Speaker 2: thirty eight to ten Buffalo over Las Vegas and taking

1529
01:17:38,320 --> 01:17:40,160
Speaker 2: your phone calls at eight h three h five fifty

1530
01:17:40,200 --> 01:17:42,360
Speaker 2: one eight eight five point fifty two, five point fifty

1531
01:17:42,360 --> 01:17:46,400
Speaker 2: for your takeaways on the convincing victory. And we lead

1532
01:17:46,439 --> 01:17:48,480
Speaker 2: off this segment with Chris in Rochester.

1533
01:17:48,600 --> 01:17:49,200
Speaker 4: What do you got for us.

1534
01:17:49,280 --> 01:17:52,000
Speaker 7: Chris, Hey, how you guys doing today?

1535
01:17:52,160 --> 01:17:52,439
Speaker 4: Great?

1536
01:17:54,439 --> 01:17:57,120
Speaker 7: So I am a first time caller, but I've been

1537
01:17:57,160 --> 01:17:59,479
Speaker 7: a huge fan of you guys and Steve since you

1538
01:17:59,520 --> 01:18:07,120
Speaker 7: played fotball and your jersey still do awesome. Everybody keeps

1539
01:18:07,120 --> 01:18:08,920
Speaker 7: saying the same thing. But what I got out of

1540
01:18:08,920 --> 01:18:12,280
Speaker 7: the game completely was as far as the running back goes,

1541
01:18:12,720 --> 01:18:14,760
Speaker 7: when he was running, when he hit that line or

1542
01:18:14,880 --> 01:18:17,800
Speaker 7: ran into somebody, his seat didn't stop. He kept on

1543
01:18:17,880 --> 01:18:21,240
Speaker 7: going to get that extra yardage. The defense when they

1544
01:18:21,280 --> 01:18:24,360
Speaker 7: tackled somebody, more than one guy was there. They weren't

1545
01:18:24,400 --> 01:18:28,959
Speaker 7: like standing around watching, So in collaboration of all of it,

1546
01:18:29,000 --> 01:18:31,640
Speaker 7: they all seem to work as a team more than

1547
01:18:31,640 --> 01:18:34,679
Speaker 7: I've seen him in the last few games. And nobody

1548
01:18:34,800 --> 01:18:37,599
Speaker 7: was like selfish at all. So I'll hang up and

1549
01:18:37,840 --> 01:18:39,160
Speaker 7: listen to what you guys got to say.

1550
01:18:39,320 --> 01:18:43,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the complimentary football that Sean McDermott talks about.

1551
01:18:43,960 --> 01:18:47,439
Speaker 2: He wants one phase kind of supporting and catering to

1552
01:18:47,479 --> 01:18:50,520
Speaker 2: the other. So when the defense gets you three takeaways,

1553
01:18:50,520 --> 01:18:54,559
Speaker 2: that's three additional possessions for your offense. That's complimentary football.

1554
01:18:54,960 --> 01:18:58,519
Speaker 2: When your special teams feels a short kickoff and they

1555
01:18:58,520 --> 01:19:01,120
Speaker 2: take it out to the forty three yard that's given

1556
01:19:01,160 --> 01:19:05,840
Speaker 2: your offense a short field. That's complimentary football. So when

1557
01:19:06,720 --> 01:19:09,599
Speaker 2: even when the offense fails on fourth and goal from

1558
01:19:09,640 --> 01:19:12,240
Speaker 2: the one to get it into the end zone, they

1559
01:19:12,280 --> 01:19:15,680
Speaker 2: don't turn the ball over for an interception return. And

1560
01:19:15,720 --> 01:19:18,880
Speaker 2: what does that mean? That means the Raiders got to

1561
01:19:18,880 --> 01:19:20,840
Speaker 2: come out on a drive, start at their own one

1562
01:19:20,920 --> 01:19:24,320
Speaker 2: yard line. That helps your defense long field to defend.

1563
01:19:24,439 --> 01:19:30,439
Speaker 2: So the complimentary catering from one phase of the game

1564
01:19:30,479 --> 01:19:32,639
Speaker 2: to the other is what Sean McDermott is coaching staff

1565
01:19:32,640 --> 01:19:35,120
Speaker 2: talk about all the time, because if you can successfully

1566
01:19:35,200 --> 01:19:38,519
Speaker 2: do that, you're helping all three phases of your football

1567
01:19:38,560 --> 01:19:41,599
Speaker 2: team by making it easier for all of them. And

1568
01:19:41,640 --> 01:19:45,080
Speaker 2: that usually results in success in some way, shape or form.

1569
01:19:45,479 --> 01:19:47,560
Speaker 2: And eventually, if you keep doing that from start to

1570
01:19:47,600 --> 01:19:49,479
Speaker 2: finish in a football game, you should come out on

1571
01:19:49,560 --> 01:19:50,480
Speaker 2: top conceivably.

1572
01:19:51,200 --> 01:19:54,759
Speaker 4: Yeah, and you're right, it was a total team effort.

1573
01:19:54,840 --> 01:19:57,439
Speaker 4: I mean, I think it says a lot about Buffalo,

1574
01:19:57,960 --> 01:20:01,080
Speaker 4: a lot about the ways that they are clicking, at

1575
01:20:01,200 --> 01:20:06,000
Speaker 4: least in this game, and not for nothing, I think

1576
01:20:06,040 --> 01:20:09,120
Speaker 4: it says something about the Raiders too. They're in the

1577
01:20:09,160 --> 01:20:12,679
Speaker 4: middle of a rebuild, and you know they were struggling.

1578
01:20:12,720 --> 01:20:16,240
Speaker 4: They've got Josh Jacobs, They've got Davante Adams, but Jimmy

1579
01:20:16,280 --> 01:20:19,320
Speaker 4: g is not giving him anything extra. He's a good

1580
01:20:19,320 --> 01:20:23,120
Speaker 4: distributor and he throws the ball well, makes good decisions,

1581
01:20:23,920 --> 01:20:28,439
Speaker 4: but he's not special. So they got two guys, a

1582
01:20:28,520 --> 01:20:33,519
Speaker 4: receiver and a running back, pretty good offensive line, got

1583
01:20:33,520 --> 01:20:38,120
Speaker 4: a good pass rusher, and they're okay in the secondary.

1584
01:20:39,120 --> 01:20:41,200
Speaker 4: So I think it says as much about the Raiders

1585
01:20:41,520 --> 01:20:43,479
Speaker 4: as it does about the Bills, and the Bill's ability

1586
01:20:43,479 --> 01:20:46,439
Speaker 4: to handle them the way they did now from this

1587
01:20:46,600 --> 01:20:49,519
Speaker 4: end of the game, in retrospect, kind of the way

1588
01:20:49,560 --> 01:20:50,320
Speaker 4: the game should have gone.

1589
01:20:50,680 --> 01:20:53,599
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's get back to the phones and to John

1590
01:20:53,800 --> 01:20:55,040
Speaker 2: and Clarence. What do you got first?

1591
01:20:55,080 --> 01:21:00,880
Speaker 21: John, Hi, guys, I joined late, so I I apologize

1592
01:21:00,880 --> 01:21:03,720
Speaker 21: if we're rehashing old stuff, but I just have a

1593
01:21:03,760 --> 01:21:06,920
Speaker 21: couple of quick, quick comments and I'll hang up. The

1594
01:21:06,920 --> 01:21:11,360
Speaker 21: first is I love James Cook. I really really like him.

1595
01:21:11,680 --> 01:21:14,320
Speaker 21: I think he's starting to come into his own and

1596
01:21:14,400 --> 01:21:17,240
Speaker 21: I think it was a confidence thing and I really

1597
01:21:17,280 --> 01:21:20,040
Speaker 21: think now he's starting to build up that confidence to

1598
01:21:20,120 --> 01:21:22,280
Speaker 21: know that he can really make a difference. So I

1599
01:21:22,320 --> 01:21:24,920
Speaker 21: love that part of the run game. Here's the part

1600
01:21:24,960 --> 01:21:28,200
Speaker 21: that I don't really care for, or maybe I'm not

1601
01:21:28,360 --> 01:21:33,240
Speaker 21: good enough talented enough to understand it, and that is

1602
01:21:33,320 --> 01:21:38,320
Speaker 21: their fourth and short or third in short run or

1603
01:21:38,400 --> 01:21:43,120
Speaker 21: maybe even it's the play selection part of it. They

1604
01:21:43,240 --> 01:21:46,960
Speaker 21: go out and they get Damien Harris, they get Latavius Murray,

1605
01:21:48,160 --> 01:21:50,880
Speaker 21: they get a couple of linemen who are you know,

1606
01:21:51,040 --> 01:21:54,519
Speaker 21: studs and are better run blockers. They know they had

1607
01:21:54,520 --> 01:21:57,439
Speaker 21: to work on that in the offseason, and then during

1608
01:21:57,479 --> 01:22:02,599
Speaker 21: the game, I see them back at a fourth and one,

1609
01:22:03,040 --> 01:22:06,040
Speaker 21: you know, to go pass instead of just jamming it

1610
01:22:06,120 --> 01:22:10,080
Speaker 21: up the middle. I just don't understand some sometimes the

1611
01:22:10,160 --> 01:22:13,920
Speaker 21: play calling on these short you know, third one or

1612
01:22:13,920 --> 01:22:16,280
Speaker 21: fourth and one place, I just don't get it. Two

1613
01:22:16,320 --> 01:22:19,280
Speaker 21: things anyway, I'll hang up and listen to what you

1614
01:22:19,360 --> 01:22:19,920
Speaker 21: have to say.

1615
01:22:20,000 --> 01:22:24,880
Speaker 4: Two things, John, they were really successful in the red zone.

1616
01:22:24,880 --> 01:22:27,679
Speaker 4: They were five to seven. They were good on third

1617
01:22:27,680 --> 01:22:29,479
Speaker 4: and the fourth and short, third and short. They had

1618
01:22:29,520 --> 01:22:32,160
Speaker 4: a good percentage of get They did miss a couple.

1619
01:22:32,680 --> 01:22:35,400
Speaker 2: And the fourth and one.

1620
01:22:36,080 --> 01:22:38,880
Speaker 4: And you can say what you want if if if

1621
01:22:38,880 --> 01:22:41,200
Speaker 4: a fourth and short and you don't convert, it doesn't work,

1622
01:22:41,200 --> 01:22:41,680
Speaker 4: you should have.

1623
01:22:41,640 --> 01:22:42,280
Speaker 3: Done something else.

1624
01:22:42,439 --> 01:22:45,280
Speaker 4: That's first of all, that's obvious, and that's the way

1625
01:22:45,320 --> 01:22:49,800
Speaker 4: it always is. Secondly, the fourth and short. One of

1626
01:22:49,800 --> 01:22:51,960
Speaker 4: those fourth and shorts got to fourth and shorts because

1627
01:22:51,960 --> 01:22:54,760
Speaker 4: they did exactly what you said. They ran it three

1628
01:22:54,840 --> 01:22:59,320
Speaker 4: times and they got stuffed twice. So they're not going

1629
01:22:59,400 --> 01:23:04,960
Speaker 4: to do that again. That's it's that simple. Players understand this.

1630
01:23:05,120 --> 01:23:06,960
Speaker 4: When you're out there and the coach is gonna say,

1631
01:23:07,080 --> 01:23:09,439
Speaker 4: and your cod's gonna say, alright, guys, we're first in

1632
01:23:09,479 --> 01:23:12,000
Speaker 4: goal on the sixth or whatever, we're gonna run this

1633
01:23:12,760 --> 01:23:13,120
Speaker 4: and we're.

1634
01:23:13,040 --> 01:23:13,680
Speaker 3: Gonna get it in.

1635
01:23:13,840 --> 01:23:15,720
Speaker 4: Well, you run it once and you get Now it's

1636
01:23:15,800 --> 01:23:18,920
Speaker 4: second and five instead of second, and you know then

1637
01:23:18,960 --> 01:23:22,280
Speaker 4: it's third and four or third and three even or two.

1638
01:23:22,640 --> 01:23:26,080
Speaker 4: It's like, okay, well that ain't enough. What are you

1639
01:23:26,080 --> 01:23:26,760
Speaker 4: gonna do now?

1640
01:23:27,120 --> 01:23:27,240
Speaker 19: Uh?

1641
01:23:27,560 --> 01:23:32,280
Speaker 4: You that's the problem. The plays preceding the play that

1642
01:23:32,400 --> 01:23:34,519
Speaker 4: fails on fourth down have a lot to do with

1643
01:23:34,560 --> 01:23:37,559
Speaker 4: the play call on fourth down. And you can you

1644
01:23:37,600 --> 01:23:40,080
Speaker 4: can do what you want. Let me say, well, you

1645
01:23:40,080 --> 01:23:42,240
Speaker 4: should have thrown it on first down and then run

1646
01:23:42,240 --> 01:23:44,200
Speaker 4: it on second down, or thrown it on first and

1647
01:23:44,240 --> 01:23:47,599
Speaker 4: second and then run it on fourth. Yeah, okay, now

1648
01:23:47,640 --> 01:23:52,639
Speaker 4: that that didn't work. Yeah, let's do something else. That's

1649
01:23:52,840 --> 01:23:55,400
Speaker 4: that's where you're at always with the play call I have.

1650
01:23:55,640 --> 01:23:57,120
Speaker 4: I've said it before in the show. I have a

1651
01:23:57,160 --> 01:24:00,720
Speaker 4: really hard time climbing into the head even if you're

1652
01:24:00,760 --> 01:24:02,160
Speaker 4: just going to be something general like you should have

1653
01:24:02,200 --> 01:24:03,759
Speaker 4: run it there instead of thrown it, or you should

1654
01:24:03,760 --> 01:24:04,960
Speaker 4: have thrown it there instead of run it.

1655
01:24:06,640 --> 01:24:07,400
Speaker 3: I'm done with that.

1656
01:24:08,360 --> 01:24:13,280
Speaker 4: You can't. That's crazy talk, because you can say that

1657
01:24:13,479 --> 01:24:16,080
Speaker 4: on any play, even a touchdown play. You said they

1658
01:24:16,200 --> 01:24:17,760
Speaker 4: you know they would have scored too if they'd run

1659
01:24:17,840 --> 01:24:21,040
Speaker 4: it all that. It's crazy to talk, crazy talk to

1660
01:24:21,080 --> 01:24:21,280
Speaker 4: do that.

1661
01:24:21,960 --> 01:24:23,840
Speaker 2: You took the words out of my mouth because I

1662
01:24:23,880 --> 01:24:26,559
Speaker 2: was going to say I wouldn't be surprised if Ken

1663
01:24:26,600 --> 01:24:29,000
Speaker 2: Dorsey was impacted by what had happened on the previous

1664
01:24:29,040 --> 01:24:31,160
Speaker 2: three plays in the decision he made for the fourth

1665
01:24:31,200 --> 01:24:35,000
Speaker 2: and goal. You remember the fourth and goal from the

1666
01:24:35,040 --> 01:24:38,080
Speaker 2: game because it didn't work. Do you remember what they

1667
01:24:38,160 --> 01:24:40,920
Speaker 2: ran three plays before? They ran it right up the

1668
01:24:40,960 --> 01:24:47,519
Speaker 2: middle three times and got three yards. So yeah, you

1669
01:24:47,560 --> 01:24:50,000
Speaker 2: could argue I'll do it again and get the last yard,

1670
01:24:50,120 --> 01:24:52,679
Speaker 2: But I think the lack of success on the three

1671
01:24:52,720 --> 01:24:56,200
Speaker 2: previous runs impacted the play call on fourth and goal

1672
01:24:56,600 --> 01:24:58,960
Speaker 2: from the one You are right, Cook has been impressive.

1673
01:24:59,200 --> 01:25:01,000
Speaker 2: I don't know if it's a confidence thing as much

1674
01:25:01,000 --> 01:25:04,160
Speaker 2: as it is an opportunity thing. James Cook is James

1675
01:25:04,200 --> 01:25:06,439
Speaker 2: Cook is not short on confidence. Yeah, I'd be just

1676
01:25:06,439 --> 01:25:07,439
Speaker 2: gonna tell you that right now.

1677
01:25:07,760 --> 01:25:08,519
Speaker 3: It could be both.

1678
01:25:08,640 --> 01:25:10,280
Speaker 4: It could be both. You know, you feel a little

1679
01:25:10,280 --> 01:25:12,160
Speaker 4: better about when you're the guy and they're and they're

1680
01:25:12,200 --> 01:25:14,040
Speaker 4: proving that you're the guy by giving you all these

1681
01:25:14,160 --> 01:25:16,840
Speaker 4: chances and he responds to it, no question about it.

1682
01:25:16,840 --> 01:25:19,639
Speaker 4: He We've been talking about him all day. The guy

1683
01:25:19,680 --> 01:25:22,280
Speaker 4: had a great game yesterday. He was a force in

1684
01:25:22,320 --> 01:25:25,840
Speaker 4: the offense. Bill's running game was looking looked good. He

1685
01:25:25,920 --> 01:25:28,559
Speaker 4: looked good in the run and the pass, which has

1686
01:25:28,640 --> 01:25:32,120
Speaker 4: been something we've been looking forward to since they drafted him.

1687
01:25:32,640 --> 01:25:36,559
Speaker 4: His ability to play three downs and do both. We

1688
01:25:36,600 --> 01:25:40,439
Speaker 4: saw it yesterday and it's it's gratifying for everybody and

1689
01:25:40,640 --> 01:25:42,080
Speaker 4: probably particularly him.

1690
01:25:43,000 --> 01:25:45,519
Speaker 2: To Bill in Toronto, X. What do you got Bill?

1691
01:25:46,840 --> 01:25:46,920
Speaker 16: Hi?

1692
01:25:47,040 --> 01:25:47,960
Speaker 17: Guys?

1693
01:25:48,439 --> 01:25:52,320
Speaker 22: Nice nice Monday. Relaxing a little bit after that, which

1694
01:25:52,360 --> 01:25:54,880
Speaker 22: was expected, but of course we executed well and it

1695
01:25:54,920 --> 01:25:57,720
Speaker 22: was nice to see. Actually Josh didn't he didn't have

1696
01:25:57,760 --> 01:26:00,640
Speaker 22: any sugar high face on yesterday, which was really really good.

1697
01:26:00,680 --> 01:26:02,479
Speaker 22: He looked he looked like he was having a great time,

1698
01:26:02,520 --> 01:26:06,519
Speaker 22: even on his his leap over his ex teammate there. Yeah,

1699
01:26:06,800 --> 01:26:09,320
Speaker 22: but I just want to kind of elaborate on on

1700
01:26:09,320 --> 01:26:12,200
Speaker 22: on the Cook situation there. I think, you know, he's

1701
01:26:12,240 --> 01:26:15,320
Speaker 22: he's one one man away from, you know, a seventy

1702
01:26:15,360 --> 01:26:17,800
Speaker 22: five yard breaker. Because this, I think he's a star

1703
01:26:17,880 --> 01:26:19,160
Speaker 22: in the making. To be honest with you, I know

1704
01:26:19,200 --> 01:26:20,960
Speaker 22: he was a high pick and everything, but I really

1705
01:26:21,000 --> 01:26:22,400
Speaker 22: see you know, a lot of those don't pan out,

1706
01:26:22,439 --> 01:26:26,480
Speaker 22: as we know. But I think his speed is explosive

1707
01:26:26,560 --> 01:26:30,160
Speaker 22: and he's got unbelievable moves, maybe more than his brother

1708
01:26:30,240 --> 01:26:32,559
Speaker 22: even if that's if that's something, and I think I

1709
01:26:32,560 --> 01:26:34,360
Speaker 22: don't think we've had a speed like that in the

1710
01:26:34,400 --> 01:26:38,320
Speaker 22: backfield since probably McCoy and and so that's that's wonderful

1711
01:26:38,360 --> 01:26:40,559
Speaker 22: to see because that opens things up a lot.

1712
01:26:40,400 --> 01:26:41,040
Speaker 11: Better for us.

1713
01:26:41,400 --> 01:26:43,519
Speaker 22: And just another quick thing, I want to talk about

1714
01:26:43,560 --> 01:26:47,599
Speaker 22: his kincaid. I was really impressed with him yesterday when

1715
01:26:47,600 --> 01:26:49,519
Speaker 22: he came across the end zone there and the past

1716
01:26:49,560 --> 01:26:51,640
Speaker 22: was out of his reach and he wasn't expecting the

1717
01:26:51,720 --> 01:26:53,519
Speaker 22: hit to come across. I mean, he was vulnerable at

1718
01:26:53,520 --> 01:26:55,439
Speaker 22: that point. You're always expecting to get hit, but you know,

1719
01:26:55,680 --> 01:26:58,599
Speaker 22: you know what I mean, And he got absolutely rocked

1720
01:26:59,120 --> 01:27:01,200
Speaker 22: and he went down and I thought, oh my god,

1721
01:27:01,280 --> 01:27:03,400
Speaker 22: here we go. And I just was waiting, and of

1722
01:27:03,400 --> 01:27:05,080
Speaker 22: course he went to the sidelines and went on his

1723
01:27:05,120 --> 01:27:07,240
Speaker 22: haunches for a little bit and and then was kind

1724
01:27:07,240 --> 01:27:10,240
Speaker 22: of just you know, regaining himself and everything else. But

1725
01:27:10,360 --> 01:27:12,680
Speaker 22: he came right back out and was just you know,

1726
01:27:12,760 --> 01:27:14,719
Speaker 22: did everything he was supposed to do without even missing

1727
01:27:14,760 --> 01:27:16,960
Speaker 22: a beat. And I thought, that's an intangible in some

1728
01:27:17,000 --> 01:27:19,599
Speaker 22: ways to be able to take his first big league hit,

1729
01:27:19,640 --> 01:27:22,600
Speaker 22: if you will, and bounce back right from it and

1730
01:27:22,640 --> 01:27:25,080
Speaker 22: show his toughness that way rather than just his hands.

1731
01:27:25,280 --> 01:27:27,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was the only catch he did not make

1732
01:27:27,600 --> 01:27:29,920
Speaker 2: of the six targets that he had, and it was

1733
01:27:29,960 --> 01:27:31,840
Speaker 2: because it was in traffic and he took a monster

1734
01:27:31,920 --> 01:27:34,400
Speaker 2: shot in the process, because he's got to be one

1735
01:27:34,400 --> 01:27:37,280
Speaker 2: of the more sure handed rookies I've been around in

1736
01:27:37,320 --> 01:27:38,080
Speaker 2: their rookie season.

1737
01:27:38,080 --> 01:27:40,120
Speaker 4: It was a good it was a good pass defense,

1738
01:27:41,160 --> 01:27:43,559
Speaker 4: so you know, give the Raiders credit on that when

1739
01:27:43,560 --> 01:27:45,160
Speaker 4: the guy got his hand in there. Plus the hit

1740
01:27:45,240 --> 01:27:47,320
Speaker 4: came right right away as well, so yeah, and he

1741
01:27:47,360 --> 01:27:50,479
Speaker 4: did show some toughness. He got up, shook it off

1742
01:27:50,479 --> 01:27:51,920
Speaker 4: and came right back in the game. And that was

1743
01:27:51,960 --> 01:27:55,000
Speaker 4: good to see because you know, whether you know it

1744
01:27:55,080 --> 01:27:56,640
Speaker 4: or not, he looks like you run, you figure like,

1745
01:27:56,680 --> 01:27:58,920
Speaker 4: oh it must he must be okay. To listen, he's

1746
01:27:58,920 --> 01:28:02,839
Speaker 4: feeling it today. So yeah, it does take some toughness

1747
01:28:02,880 --> 01:28:05,760
Speaker 4: to go back out there, which he did, and he

1748
01:28:05,880 --> 01:28:11,080
Speaker 4: is I still think is still growing in his ability

1749
01:28:11,120 --> 01:28:13,680
Speaker 4: to contribute. I still think he's developing, and I think

1750
01:28:13,680 --> 01:28:16,479
Speaker 4: he's going to be really good, even better during this season.

1751
01:28:16,960 --> 01:28:21,840
Speaker 4: So let's hope he stays healthy gets all these opportunities

1752
01:28:22,000 --> 01:28:25,439
Speaker 4: because his efficiency is awesome right now. That's the only

1753
01:28:25,479 --> 01:28:29,400
Speaker 4: pass he's dropped, that one we're just talking about. That's

1754
01:28:29,400 --> 01:28:31,320
Speaker 4: a great spot to be in with and Knox has

1755
01:28:31,320 --> 01:28:36,000
Speaker 4: played well as too, So this twelve personnel package looks

1756
01:28:36,320 --> 01:28:39,560
Speaker 4: to be something really effective in the making, something.

1757
01:28:39,280 --> 01:28:40,760
Speaker 2: They're going to be able to hang their heat on

1758
01:28:41,360 --> 01:28:44,000
Speaker 2: all season. Long break time for us here when we

1759

1768
01:29:23,640 --> 01:29:27,080
Speaker 23: Hey, guys. First off, just a big fan of you both. Chris,

1769
01:29:27,120 --> 01:29:32,120
Speaker 23: that call with Milano was electric as an interception. And Steve,

1770
01:29:32,240 --> 01:29:35,040
Speaker 23: I actually I used to play against your teams when

1771
01:29:35,080 --> 01:29:37,320
Speaker 23: you coach for East Or I played the Holland Raiders

1772
01:29:37,600 --> 01:29:39,720
Speaker 23: and you were nice not to autograph something for me

1773
01:29:39,760 --> 01:29:40,639
Speaker 23: in the middle of the game.

1774
01:29:41,080 --> 01:29:42,800
Speaker 4: Oh, I appreciate that.

1775
01:29:42,800 --> 01:29:43,760
Speaker 3: That's outstanding.

1776
01:29:45,080 --> 01:29:47,960
Speaker 23: But yeah, and so I just want to say, like,

1777
01:29:48,200 --> 01:29:51,640
Speaker 23: I'm twenty four and I went my whole life, Oh

1778
01:29:51,720 --> 01:29:53,840
Speaker 23: not my whole life, but I went my entire childhood

1779
01:29:53,880 --> 01:29:56,519
Speaker 23: with bad Bill of teams, and just we get to

1780
01:29:56,520 --> 01:29:58,920
Speaker 23: watch Josh Allen every week now and the fact that

1781
01:29:59,439 --> 01:30:02,240
Speaker 23: he was able to reinvent himself in one week to

1782
01:30:02,280 --> 01:30:05,280
Speaker 23: go from this gun slinger that's cost the team games

1783
01:30:05,320 --> 01:30:08,800
Speaker 23: to this hyper accurate taking what they give you throw

1784
01:30:08,880 --> 01:30:12,160
Speaker 23: to the open. Guys. Just it's just crazy. I just

1785
01:30:12,160 --> 01:30:15,599
Speaker 23: want to talk about just how lucky we are as

1786
01:30:15,600 --> 01:30:18,120
Speaker 23: Bill's fans to have Josh Allen. And there was so

1787
01:30:18,200 --> 01:30:21,160
Speaker 23: much discourse about him through the week, and there I

1788
01:30:21,200 --> 01:30:23,760
Speaker 23: saw like, I mean, stay off Twitter or actually it's

1789
01:30:23,760 --> 01:30:26,400
Speaker 23: called because it's such a toxic place, but so many

1790
01:30:26,400 --> 01:30:28,680
Speaker 23: people were just down on him, and I just like,

1791
01:30:28,760 --> 01:30:32,160
Speaker 23: I consider every game I watched like a blessing after

1792
01:30:32,560 --> 01:30:34,680
Speaker 23: what I had, what I sat through growing up, and

1793
01:30:34,720 --> 01:30:36,680
Speaker 23: so I just want to leave it like how impressive

1794
01:30:36,840 --> 01:30:38,160
Speaker 23: just the reinvention was.

1795
01:30:38,320 --> 01:30:40,599
Speaker 2: And I hang, I get it, Josh, there's a lot

1796
01:30:40,600 --> 01:30:42,200
Speaker 2: of scar tissue there for all of us.

1797
01:30:42,600 --> 01:30:45,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, that's good call.

1798
01:30:47,360 --> 01:30:49,280
Speaker 2: He did kind of reinvent himself in six days a

1799
01:30:49,320 --> 01:30:50,000
Speaker 2: little bit there.

1800
01:30:49,880 --> 01:30:55,280
Speaker 4: Steve a little bit, not reinvent, but certainly he got

1801
01:30:55,320 --> 01:30:57,920
Speaker 4: back to what he's good at and and calm down

1802
01:30:58,120 --> 01:30:59,960
Speaker 4: and played the kind of football we know he can't play.

1803
01:31:00,000 --> 01:31:02,040
Speaker 4: We've seen him play like this at times before.

1804
01:31:02,479 --> 01:31:06,200
Speaker 2: It's four previous games like this, over eighty percent, three touchdowns.

1805
01:31:05,840 --> 01:31:07,479
Speaker 4: Right, He's yeah, he's had a couple of games like

1806
01:31:07,520 --> 01:31:10,160
Speaker 4: he's done it more than anybody else before their age thirty,

1807
01:31:10,160 --> 01:31:14,880
Speaker 4: and he's got three more years. I think Josh from

1808
01:31:14,920 --> 01:31:18,320
Speaker 4: Holland is right. It does. It is kind of amazing

1809
01:31:18,479 --> 01:31:23,240
Speaker 4: that when Josh takes a deep breath calms down, he's

1810
01:31:23,320 --> 01:31:26,280
Speaker 4: kind of this unbeatable guy. And it's and I can

1811
01:31:26,320 --> 01:31:29,679
Speaker 4: see it too. For Josh, it's hard because the harder

1812
01:31:29,720 --> 01:31:31,640
Speaker 4: he plays, the worse it gets, almost, you know what

1813
01:31:31,640 --> 01:31:35,479
Speaker 4: I mean, the more he tries to make this stuff happen,

1814
01:31:36,680 --> 01:31:38,519
Speaker 4: the more it eludes him, and the wor and the

1815
01:31:38,560 --> 01:31:42,439
Speaker 4: worse it goes. Right, So when he relaxes, watches the

1816
01:31:42,520 --> 01:31:46,000
Speaker 4: game from wherever mind's eye he has from the pocket

1817
01:31:46,080 --> 01:31:48,479
Speaker 4: and just plays and does what he does. You know,

1818
01:31:48,560 --> 01:31:55,000
Speaker 4: this team wins by literally wins by four touchdowns. So yeah,

1819
01:31:55,040 --> 01:31:58,400
Speaker 4: that's kind of the mental quandary that Josh finds himself in.

1820
01:31:58,920 --> 01:32:01,120
Speaker 4: He's got a he's almost got to play like it's

1821
01:32:01,439 --> 01:32:05,920
Speaker 4: like it doesn't matter. It's boring, you know. And then

1822
01:32:05,960 --> 01:32:08,120
Speaker 4: of course, once in a while, when he busts out

1823
01:32:08,120 --> 01:32:09,960
Speaker 4: of the pocket, he you know, he still puts that

1824
01:32:10,080 --> 01:32:15,040
Speaker 4: cape on. But that's you're right, It's not just that

1825
01:32:15,080 --> 01:32:17,280
Speaker 4: the Bills team was in a drought and we always

1826
01:32:17,360 --> 01:32:20,519
Speaker 4: suffered through these quarterbacks who never changed, you know, they

1827
01:32:20,520 --> 01:32:23,479
Speaker 4: were always the same guy week after week. And it's

1828
01:32:23,640 --> 01:32:28,479
Speaker 4: just God, just take me now, Lord right, so right,

1829
01:32:29,600 --> 01:32:32,680
Speaker 4: so and it So it is a nice place to

1830
01:32:32,760 --> 01:32:35,080
Speaker 4: be when you've got a guy that's self aware enough

1831
01:32:35,080 --> 01:32:38,799
Speaker 4: to be like, I can't do that anymore and change

1832
01:32:39,280 --> 01:32:44,120
Speaker 4: and correct self correct, right. This is a this is

1833
01:32:44,160 --> 01:32:46,400
Speaker 4: a fun team to watch every week.

1834
01:32:46,680 --> 01:32:49,680
Speaker 2: Maybe we shouldn't be as impressed with the change and

1835
01:32:49,760 --> 01:32:53,519
Speaker 2: approach by Josh in the span of six days, because

1836
01:32:53,560 --> 01:32:58,479
Speaker 2: he's so gifted and talented. He can play any way

1837
01:32:58,520 --> 01:33:01,000
Speaker 2: you need him to. When you think about it, he

1838
01:33:01,120 --> 01:33:04,599
Speaker 2: really is capable of that and more. Let's go back

1839
01:33:04,640 --> 01:33:07,000
Speaker 2: to the phones and to Ismael in Florida.

1840
01:33:07,479 --> 01:33:08,280
Speaker 4: What do you got is.

1841
01:33:10,200 --> 01:33:15,880
Speaker 20: Good afternoon, gentlemen, Steve, I'm kind of in a different

1842
01:33:15,920 --> 01:33:19,439
Speaker 20: direction that the gentleman previous was on. I'm fifty, So

1843
01:33:19,520 --> 01:33:23,479
Speaker 20: I'd actually got the pleasure of watching you play and

1844
01:33:23,520 --> 01:33:27,720
Speaker 20: the joy of watching the bills of that era. And

1845
01:33:27,840 --> 01:33:30,519
Speaker 20: though it didn't result in the Super Bowl, I mean,

1846
01:33:30,880 --> 01:33:33,040
Speaker 20: I just don't think I could have asked for anything

1847
01:33:33,080 --> 01:33:36,880
Speaker 20: more at that time and now looking for that Super Bowl.

1848
01:33:36,960 --> 01:33:41,240
Speaker 20: So I had a couple of questions, both quick. One

1849
01:33:41,280 --> 01:33:47,880
Speaker 20: was the lack of creativity on Dorsey's part on run plays,

1850
01:33:48,240 --> 01:33:52,759
Speaker 20: just watching a lot of these offensive coordinators really putting

1851
01:33:52,800 --> 01:33:57,760
Speaker 20: a lot of motion in place to create space, causing confusion.

1852
01:33:58,479 --> 01:34:02,280
Speaker 20: It seems like the running and play calling that's done

1853
01:34:02,360 --> 01:34:06,160
Speaker 20: on our side seems very vanilla, just kind of up

1854
01:34:06,200 --> 01:34:10,360
Speaker 20: the gut or something to the sides, no creativity with

1855
01:34:10,439 --> 01:34:13,840
Speaker 20: screens or anything to that nature. So looking to see

1856
01:34:13,880 --> 01:34:17,840
Speaker 20: what your opinion is on kind of adding that repertoire

1857
01:34:17,960 --> 01:34:22,960
Speaker 20: to this Bill's talented team. And then how do we

1858
01:34:23,040 --> 01:34:25,840
Speaker 20: slow down the game for Josh because it seems like

1859
01:34:25,960 --> 01:34:30,040
Speaker 20: when he slowed down, it seems when he's at his best.

1860
01:34:31,880 --> 01:34:35,599
Speaker 2: Yeah, valid questions. I'm going to take the first one here, Steve.

1861
01:34:36,080 --> 01:34:39,360
Speaker 2: With regard to creativity in the run game, you didn't

1862
01:34:39,439 --> 01:34:44,880
Speaker 2: need it yesterday, and it's a long season, and you

1863
01:34:45,040 --> 01:34:48,880
Speaker 2: average five point two when you carried it yesterday, your

1864
01:34:48,960 --> 01:34:52,320
Speaker 2: lead back averaged seven point to a carry. There was

1865
01:34:52,360 --> 01:34:55,960
Speaker 2: no need to be creative because the basic stuff was working.

1866
01:34:56,439 --> 01:34:59,280
Speaker 2: So leave that in your back pocket for a week

1867
01:34:59,320 --> 01:35:02,000
Speaker 2: when you really do need it. Maybe you're I mean,

1868
01:35:02,160 --> 01:35:08,040
Speaker 2: this Raiders defense not fast, and the Bills didn't have

1869
01:35:08,200 --> 01:35:14,320
Speaker 2: much trouble outflanking them, particularly with James Cook outside Misdirection

1870
01:35:14,520 --> 01:35:18,040
Speaker 2: wasn't necessary. The Bills back was faster than any linebacker

1871
01:35:18,200 --> 01:35:20,360
Speaker 2: or maybe even any safety they had on the field,

1872
01:35:21,000 --> 01:35:25,960
Speaker 2: so fooling them with misdirection wasn't required. Now you play

1873
01:35:26,000 --> 01:35:29,400
Speaker 2: a fast flowing defense like the Cowboys or the Eagles

1874
01:35:29,880 --> 01:35:32,160
Speaker 2: later in the season, Yeah, you may have to dip

1875
01:35:32,160 --> 01:35:34,000
Speaker 2: into your bag of tricks, so don't put it on

1876
01:35:34,040 --> 01:35:37,200
Speaker 2: film now, save it for that week. What you had

1877
01:35:37,280 --> 01:35:40,439
Speaker 2: yesterday was basic, but it was working, So keep doing

1878
01:35:40,479 --> 01:35:43,000
Speaker 2: that and save that other stuff for when you really

1879
01:35:43,000 --> 01:35:43,360
Speaker 2: need it.

1880
01:35:43,840 --> 01:35:46,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, and your question about having how to slow the

1881
01:35:46,880 --> 01:35:50,599
Speaker 4: game down for Josh, I get what you mean there,

1882
01:35:50,680 --> 01:35:53,240
Speaker 4: because when Josh seems calm and relaxed the games, you know,

1883
01:35:53,280 --> 01:35:55,160
Speaker 4: it just seems easy for me. It's not about getting

1884
01:35:55,200 --> 01:35:57,719
Speaker 4: the games slower for Josh. It's about getting Josh slowed

1885
01:35:57,760 --> 01:36:00,280
Speaker 4: down for the game. I think Josh get in a

1886
01:36:00,320 --> 01:36:02,960
Speaker 4: mental headspace where he feels like if it doesn't go

1887
01:36:03,040 --> 01:36:06,120
Speaker 4: well early, he starts to press pretty quickly and try

1888
01:36:06,120 --> 01:36:08,240
Speaker 4: to make some big things happen to get back on track.

1889
01:36:08,920 --> 01:36:11,120
Speaker 4: And in reality, if he just plays it slow, like

1890
01:36:11,160 --> 01:36:14,599
Speaker 4: the three and out to begin the game yesterday, he

1891
01:36:14,640 --> 01:36:17,400
Speaker 4: did not panic and came back out and continued with

1892
01:36:17,479 --> 01:36:20,720
Speaker 4: the game plan, and I think maybe the fact that

1893
01:36:20,800 --> 01:36:21,640
Speaker 4: he didn't.

1894
01:36:21,800 --> 01:36:24,080
Speaker 3: Go out and let's wheel this thing out.

1895
01:36:24,160 --> 01:36:25,720
Speaker 4: Let's go, let's see what they got if they've got

1896
01:36:25,720 --> 01:36:28,200
Speaker 4: the lid on this, let's go instead of coming out

1897
01:36:28,280 --> 01:36:30,479
Speaker 4: running the ball twice then trying to throw it. Didn't

1898
01:36:30,520 --> 01:36:32,080
Speaker 4: go well, so let's take him off the field and

1899
01:36:32,120 --> 01:36:33,439
Speaker 4: then have him come out and going, hey, we got

1900
01:36:33,479 --> 01:36:35,400
Speaker 4: to pick it up. They score, you know what I mean.

1901
01:36:36,560 --> 01:36:42,000
Speaker 4: Keeping him calm in those situations keeps Josh slowed down mentally.

1902
01:36:42,760 --> 01:36:45,240
Speaker 4: And that's really what we're talking about. It has less

1903
01:36:45,240 --> 01:36:47,519
Speaker 4: to do with the coaching staff and the game slowing down.

1904
01:36:47,560 --> 01:36:51,160
Speaker 4: It has to do with Josh's mentality and keeping him

1905
01:36:52,000 --> 01:36:54,280
Speaker 4: focused on the game plan even when it doesn't go

1906
01:36:54,320 --> 01:36:57,120
Speaker 4: well in the beginning, like like yesterday's first series. You

1907
01:36:57,200 --> 01:36:59,160
Speaker 4: got to calm down and you got to stay disciplined

1908
01:36:59,200 --> 01:37:02,680
Speaker 4: and patient with what's going on. You come over and

1909
01:37:03,640 --> 01:37:06,720
Speaker 4: one big thing is there's two things. One is preparation.

1910
01:37:08,920 --> 01:37:11,880
Speaker 4: He needs to know exactly what's going on and why

1911
01:37:11,920 --> 01:37:14,519
Speaker 4: the game plan is the way it is when they

1912
01:37:14,520 --> 01:37:16,360
Speaker 4: want to run each and every play, and what they're

1913
01:37:16,400 --> 01:37:19,120
Speaker 4: looking for in each and every play, why the certain

1914
01:37:19,160 --> 01:37:23,240
Speaker 4: play is called in this in this situation, it's not

1915
01:37:23,360 --> 01:37:25,559
Speaker 4: just calling a plan and letting him run it. It's

1916
01:37:25,880 --> 01:37:29,519
Speaker 4: knowing the reasoning behind the play call that gives him

1917
01:37:29,560 --> 01:37:32,080
Speaker 4: the ability to think a step ahead of the defense.

1918
01:37:32,680 --> 01:37:35,800
Speaker 4: That's really important at this level. It's not just getting

1919
01:37:35,840 --> 01:37:37,439
Speaker 4: a young kid to go out there and know who

1920
01:37:37,479 --> 01:37:40,000
Speaker 4: to hand the ball off to. You don't know why

1921
01:37:40,040 --> 01:37:43,120
Speaker 4: you're hand why you call that play, what the defense

1922
01:37:43,240 --> 01:37:45,439
Speaker 4: is doing, and why you're thinking that that player will

1923
01:37:45,479 --> 01:37:48,040
Speaker 4: work and why in this situation. All that stuff goes

1924
01:37:48,080 --> 01:37:51,680
Speaker 4: into it, and that slows it down for Josh and

1925
01:37:52,160 --> 01:37:55,080
Speaker 4: so all of that stuff goes into the mix. But

1926
01:37:56,280 --> 01:37:59,320
Speaker 4: preparation is huge for that and that's what that's what

1927
01:37:59,360 --> 01:38:02,240
Speaker 4: you do Monday through Saturday, and that's when games are

1928
01:38:02,240 --> 01:38:02,840
Speaker 4: won and lost.

1929
01:38:02,920 --> 01:38:05,920
Speaker 2: Now, during game, that's where you gotta show poise.

1930
01:38:05,760 --> 01:38:08,599
Speaker 4: When yes, when he comes off, here's how you help him.

1931
01:38:08,720 --> 01:38:11,920
Speaker 4: He comes off. You need answers. You need answers when

1932
01:38:11,920 --> 01:38:13,960
Speaker 4: he comes off, says, what are we doing out there?

1933
01:38:14,000 --> 01:38:16,720
Speaker 4: We had three and out against the defense that can't

1934
01:38:16,840 --> 01:38:19,559
Speaker 4: you know they're slow and we had we got a plan.

1935
01:38:19,640 --> 01:38:20,880
Speaker 3: Why what's the wrong with a plan?

1936
01:38:21,439 --> 01:38:25,559
Speaker 4: You gotta have concrete, specific answers for say, listen, that

1937
01:38:25,680 --> 01:38:29,160
Speaker 4: last play was there, but because of the pressure on

1938
01:38:29,200 --> 01:38:32,120
Speaker 4: the right side, you couldn't get back to the Gabe

1939
01:38:32,160 --> 01:38:34,080
Speaker 4: was running wide open over here, or this guy was

1940
01:38:34,120 --> 01:38:36,960
Speaker 4: running there. We should da Dad. You gotta have solid

1941
01:38:37,000 --> 01:38:39,840
Speaker 4: answers for him in game to say this is why

1942
01:38:40,000 --> 01:38:41,760
Speaker 4: it didn't work that time, or this is what we're

1943
01:38:41,760 --> 01:38:45,000
Speaker 4: gonna do next. That's the that's the critical part. So

1944
01:38:45,080 --> 01:38:48,160
Speaker 4: have hing prepared and on game day, have your staff

1945
01:38:48,160 --> 01:38:50,679
Speaker 4: have specific answers to why it is or isn't working,

1946
01:38:50,720 --> 01:38:52,479
Speaker 4: and what you're gonna do next if it is working.

1947
01:38:52,840 --> 01:38:55,400
Speaker 2: Break time here Eric Wood. Next on one Bill's Live.

1948
