Speaker 1: broadcast bout, we get sent for kickoff between the Buffalo

5
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:24,079
Speaker 1: Bills and the Tennessee Titans. The schedule does looked a

6
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:27,400
Speaker 1: little more manageable, but the Bill's biggest obstacle is not

7
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:31,960
Speaker 1: their opponents, it's themselves. Mariona three step drop quick pass

8
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:34,840

17
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:05,640
Speaker 1: up of the thirty seven yard line. Tarn Johnson comes

18
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 1: up with the pick and the Bills have another takeaway

19
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 1: here in the first half, and they're gonna detailback Dan Lewis,

20
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 1: who is trapped. They gonna be stopped. Phillip games. The

21
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 1: ball comes out. There's a loose ball down there in

22
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 1: their midfield. They'll say they have it. They do another

23
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 1: Fluffalo takeaway. Jordan player comes out of the pile with

24
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 1: a football. Halftime in Orchard Park and the Bills lead

25
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:28,759
Speaker 1: Tennessee seven to six. There's the snap, the ball is sound,

Speaker 1: suck up has enough flag, It is up and it

27
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 1: is good and the Titans take the lead. With four

Speaker 1: Alan fires at left side, clock by McCoy behind the

31
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:47,559
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage. He gets the first sound. He's across

32
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 1: the forty. He digs him into the right. He gets

33
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 1: a block, and he's all the way up to the

34
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:53,680

00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:07,400

41
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 1: Ray McCloud caught it and ran with it. Snap is good.

42
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 1: The hold is down house, he's got plenty of lagging,

43
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:21,640
Speaker 1: is up, and it is gone. It is gone, and

44
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:25,679
Speaker 1: my Buffalo Bills win it. They knock off the Tennessee Titans.

45
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 1: Stephen hopsk a forty six yarnder duck. Bills win it

46
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 1: thirteen to twelve. Tops money. Indeed, that's what it looked like,

47
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 1: That's what it sounded like at New air Afield yesterday.

48
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:39,960
Speaker 1: The Bills a one point win over the Tennessee Titans.

49
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 1: Pretty fun day for everybody young and old. Thirteen twelve victory.

50
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 1: Who would have thunk it right? Blow score like that?

51
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:49,240
Speaker 1: It's our game rewind presented by Tochiba, the official copy

Speaker 1: Tasker with one Bills Live from One Bill's Drive. Ready

55
00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 1: to talk about yesterday's game. Where the Bills go from here,

56
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:01,399
Speaker 1: Ready to talk with you about it. Full Night's open

57
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 1: as always, eight three fifty two, three, one eight eight

58
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,239
Speaker 1: by fifty two five fifty. You can reach us on

59
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 1: Twitter at one Bill's Live. Steve Bills are won two

60
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:12,679
Speaker 1: of their last three. I mean, look, I know what

61
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:15,079
Speaker 1: they're doing wrong, but they won two of their last three.

62
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 1: I think that's a step in the right there. Right,

63
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:21,079
Speaker 1: they're doing some things right too. Their defense is playing great. Uh,

64
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 1: they're a top ten they're a top ten defense, and

65
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 1: they are holding teams out of the end zone. Yeah,

66
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 1: Tennessee got some field goals, but it's a defense that

67
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 1: still getting turnovers, still hold them to three points when

68
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 1: they can, and they're getting just enough out of Josh

69
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 1: Allen to get it done. Chris Ivory and Lashawn McCoy

70
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 1: were fantastic yesterday. The offensive line played better yesterday, particularly

71
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 1: in the run game. And um, you know, I like

72
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 1: the Twitter poll today because of where it takes you.

73
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 1: There's a couple of questions I've got about it that

74
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 1: it brings up, and you can get to the Twitter

75
00:03:57,560 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 1: poll a minute. But I thought that it was a

76
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 1: recipe exactly like we anticipated the entire offseason, all the

77
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 1: way through training camp, even with Nathan Peterman in the mix,

78
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 1: you know, or a different quarterback in the mix. It

79
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 1: was going to be a defensive driven football team. Turnovers,

80
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 1: run the football well, take the pressure off the quarterback

81
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:17,480
Speaker 1: and let him do just enough to give you a

82
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 1: chance to win. And the story of the game for

83
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 1: me is that final drive, four forty three left on

84
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 1: the clock. They used up every bit of it to

85
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:28,040
Speaker 1: go down and get a field goal to win it.

86
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:29,840
Speaker 1: It was really impressive at the end of the game.

87
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 1: You know what I liked. Among many things I liked

88
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 1: about yesterday's game In an era in a week really

89
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:37,920
Speaker 1: where the NFL is putting out press releases about four

90
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:42,040
Speaker 1: hundred yard passers and offensive firepower and points being racked up,

91
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:45,039
Speaker 1: here you got an old fashioned slug fest at knew

92
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 1: Her Field yesterday between two teams who played extremely physically.

93
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:51,040
Speaker 1: I thought, not just the Bills, I thought the Tennessee

94
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 1: Titans were slugging it out with him too. I thought

95
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 1: the Titans played pretty decent defense as well, and they

96
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:57,920
Speaker 1: wanted to run the ball as well. That to me

97
00:04:58,040 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 1: made for a fun game. Not the kind of game

98
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 1: you get a on the NFL much anymore, but look

99
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,720
Speaker 1: at it. The Titans ran about twenty five times Bills

100
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 1: ran at forty three times at sixty eight runs in

101
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:11,599
Speaker 1: that game yesterday. Is that what the drives television readings.

102
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 1: Maybe not, but it's certainly made for a compelling finish

103
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 1: to the game. And I thought a pretty interesting game.

104
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 1: And look, and this, we're gonna get to our Twitter poll.

105
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:20,720
Speaker 1: We know where the Bills are, right, I know where

106
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:22,599
Speaker 1: they are. You know, they got a rookie quarterback. They're

107
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:24,240
Speaker 1: trying to break him in, they're trying to get him

108
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 1: comfortable playing. So it is the formula, the template that

109
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 1: we saw at Minnesota, the template that we kind of

110
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 1: talked about during the entire offseason. Play good defense, take

111
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 1: the ball away if you can, as you did last year,

112
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 1: and run the ball right, take the pressure off your

113
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 1: rookie quarterback. That's the template. That's how they beat Minnesota.

114
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:41,840
Speaker 1: That's how they beat Tennessee two weeks later. Yeah, and

115
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:44,600
Speaker 1: a lot of fans are in a different spot there.

116
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,599
Speaker 1: You know, you have gazillion fans of the Buffalo Bills,

117
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 1: and they're all they all see the team through their

118
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:52,040
Speaker 1: own lens. Some of them would like and some of

119
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 1: them would love this team to, you know, get their

120
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,479
Speaker 1: quarterback like Josh Allen, have him be the guy, develop

121
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 1: him through this season and and literally only win two

122
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:04,040
Speaker 1: games so they can get a better draft pick next year,

123
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:06,359
Speaker 1: because it's all about next year with a cap unloosening

124
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:08,920
Speaker 1: up with the draft picks they've got, you know, building

125
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 1: for the future to get you know, put this juggernaut

126
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:13,600
Speaker 1: of a team together for next year. They're not. You know,

127
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 1: then there's a fans listen, let's win every game. Let's

128
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,280
Speaker 1: try and win these games, and let's and you know,

129
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 1: that's where the coaches and players are. They they're gonna

130
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 1: try and win these games. They're gonna try and get

131
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 1: in the playoffs again this year. They're gonna try and

132
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 1: be a perennial playoff contender and go deeper into the

133
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 1: playoffs than they did a year ago, and as well

134
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 1: as developed their quarterback. And then they'll attack free agency

135
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:35,239
Speaker 1: and attack the draft. You know, when that time comes,

136
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,480
Speaker 1: they're they're thinking about the here and now, and so

137
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 1: everybody kind of sees this from someplace different. Josh Allen

138
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:44,559
Speaker 1: coming out yesterday throwing for you know, eighty five yards,

139
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,680
Speaker 1: and let's face it, it feels a lot different this

140
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 1: year with Josh Allen throwing for eighty five yards and

141
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 1: getting a win than it did last year with Tyrod

142
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:55,159
Speaker 1: Taylor thrown for less than a hundred yards and either

143
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 1: getting a win or getting a loss. Yeah, because it

144
00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:00,080
Speaker 1: feels a lot different. It feels a lot different, and

145
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:02,039
Speaker 1: Josh is a rookie and Josh doesn't have that many

146
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 1: weapons to look at. Well, let's talk about that. That's

147
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 1: our Twitter poll today. Just want to get us it's

148
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:09,360
Speaker 1: not even a poll, a question on Twitter, and want

149
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 1: to get your sentiment. Where are you with what the

150
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 1: Bills did where they substandard in the passing game yesterday?

151
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 1: You bet they were? Yes, they were, and they won

152
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 1: by a point. I guess I look at it more

153
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 1: like that's not to who they're going to be next year,

154
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 1: certainly not where they're gonna be two years from now,

155
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 1: but for now, for yesterday, for winning a game, it

156
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 1: got the job done. Our Twitter question, would you rather

157
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 1: have Josh Allen throw for eighty two yards in a

158
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 1: Bill's win as what happened yesterday? Or wou'd you rather

159
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 1: have him throw for three hundred yards in a Bill's loss.

160
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 1: Some people believe that they're okay with the loss if

161
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 1: they see progress in the quarterback. We all need to

162
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 1: see progress from the quarterback. But we also need to

163
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 1: see wins. And this game is about winning, even if

164
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 1: you're breaking in a rookie quarterback. And that's where I

165
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 1: stand on it. But let us know, give us a

166
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 1: call eight h three five fifty toll free one eight

167
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 1: eight eight five fifty two five fifty or on Twitter

168
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 1: you can respond. We'll read some of the tweets on

169
00:07:57,680 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 1: the ear. Would you rather have Josh Allen throw for

170
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 1: eighty two yards and the Bills win like yesterday or

171
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 1: throw for three hundred yards and have the Bills lose?

172
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 1: Tell us what you think? What do you think? You

173
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 1: know you think about it. I don't know that if

174
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 1: he had, if he's gonna throw over three hundred yards

175
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 1: with this receiving corps with supporting cast, that that throws

176
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 1: a different mix into it. You know. Um, I don't

177
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 1: know if you can do that with this receiving corps

178
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 1: with you know, with Calvin Benjamin being the receiver, he is,

179
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 1: Zay Jones, Ray Ray McLeod, Robert Foster, all these young

180
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 1: guys that are kind of finding their way. Uh, you know,

181
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 1: I don't I'd like to know what Josh Allen could

182
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 1: do with a with a you know, with a Julio

183
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:42,080
Speaker 1: Jones or somebody like that, you know, or an Antello

184
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:44,319
Speaker 1: Gerald if Fitzgerald or a couple of guys like that,

185
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:48,679
Speaker 1: or Robert sanu H somebody like that. Um, I'd like

186
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:51,320
Speaker 1: a more proven wide receiver corps around him. But then again,

187
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know if that'd make the big difference.

188
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:55,200
Speaker 1: I don't know if it would. I as a lot

189
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 1: of people probably think it would make a big difference. Uh,

190
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 1: they don't have the faith in these receivers that that

191
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:04,839
Speaker 1: you'd like to as a fan base. And I'd like

192
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 1: to see what Josh Allen would do, what his numbers

193
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 1: would be if if the receivers were a more proven group.

194
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:14,319
Speaker 1: Well that mix two, Absolutely, it's in the mix. You know,

195
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:16,840
Speaker 1: we're talking about a realistic look at where they're at.

196
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:19,840
Speaker 1: Who are the receivers, what's the offensive lyning doing? How

197
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 1: are they doing? You know, how new is the offensive coordinator?

198
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 1: He's just as new as Josh Allen to this offense.

199
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:28,679
Speaker 1: All of that plays into it. How's the defense playing well?

200
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 1: In yesterday's case, the defense is playing well. In fact,

201
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 1: they played three and a half games. Now about standing

202
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:37,080
Speaker 1: defense with the three takeaways yesterday three to one edge

203
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:41,599
Speaker 1: and takeaway turnover yesterday for the Bills, obviously contributing to

204
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 1: the game at ten point ten points off turnovers at

205
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 1: one point victory. That's pretty simple to figure out all

206
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 1: of that plays into it. Would you rather have Josh

207
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:50,680
Speaker 1: Allen play the way he played yesterday eighty two yards

208
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:53,079
Speaker 1: passing in the Bills win, or maybe you have a

209
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:55,679
Speaker 1: better passing day three hundred yards may have the Bills loses,

210
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:58,720
Speaker 1: Adam are accurate barometer of his progress. Not so certain

211
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:02,199
Speaker 1: about that, I think. I think what's important, among many

212
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:05,800
Speaker 1: things important about Josh Allen's performance is that the fourth quarter,

213
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 1: four minutes twenty fourth second drive, when he was in control,

214
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:12,199
Speaker 1: made a third and three pass to Shady McCoy, just

215
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 1: a simple little pass out in the flat that McCoy

216
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 1: turned into a thirteen yard pickup later on the plays

217
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:20,560
Speaker 1: by Chris Ivory. He was in control of that drive.

218
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 1: Then you know that's not insignificant. To have a rookie

219
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:27,440
Speaker 1: quarterback in his fourth NFL game lead a team downfield

220
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:29,720
Speaker 1: and win a game like that. That's that means something,

221
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 1: it really does. And certainly they ran the ball more

222
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 1: than they threw it in. The throws he made were

223
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:40,959
Speaker 1: pretty non to script, but at the crucial time of

224
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 1: the game, you know he made the play and was

225
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:45,560
Speaker 1: in control of that huddle and to get those guys

226
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 1: to you know, to with Lashawn McCoy and Chris Ivory.

227
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:51,679
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you what. I got to tip my

228
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 1: hat to Chris Ivory today. He had a great game yesterday,

229
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:57,319
Speaker 1: was a great, great asset to the team and was

230
00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:00,199
Speaker 1: in large measure a great contributor to why they one.

231
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 1: His ability to run physical down inside. That last drive

232
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 1: he trucked a couple of guys that got him a

233
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 1: chance for the first down, and people on MSGC Dion

234
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:13,719
Speaker 1: Dawkins on the Ray Ray McCloud pass that got him

235
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:18,200
Speaker 1: inside of field goal range, and then you know Chris

236
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:21,559
Speaker 1: Ivory snapping off another eight yard run down inside as well.

237
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 1: That drive was really to me, was really impressive. Is

238
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:28,679
Speaker 1: the most impressive part of the day. I am. I

239
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 1: think with a lot of people, I know how good

240
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:36,440
Speaker 1: it feels to win. Even if you win a game

241
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:38,440
Speaker 1: like they did yesterday, and it's not a thirty eight

242
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:42,679
Speaker 1: to three massacre, a game like yesterday where you grind

243
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 1: it out that puts Josh Allen in a completely different

244
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:49,960
Speaker 1: mind frame going into this next week, and I think

245
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 1: you build on that. I think he has more confidence.

246
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:54,800
Speaker 1: He's gonna have more courage to try things in the

247
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:57,319
Speaker 1: passing game, makes some throws. He's gonna be able to

248
00:11:57,800 --> 00:11:59,959
Speaker 1: see his mistakes and see how he could have made

249
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,319
Speaker 1: it easier on his team by taking a couple of

250
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 1: easy completions that he tended to pass up. You know,

251
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:08,319
Speaker 1: he's also got to be much more accurate on his

252
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:11,440
Speaker 1: short throws. He threw the ball like Calvin Benjamin. I mean,

253
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:13,720
Speaker 1: the guy's six five, He's got a big catch radius,

254
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:16,319
Speaker 1: but let's keep his catch radius above his waist. You know,

255
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 1: let's thrown in his ankles, right he did. Calvin Benjamin's

256
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:22,200
Speaker 1: got to be pretty frustrated about that, and so does

257
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:25,319
Speaker 1: Josh Allen. So there's so many things he can work on,

258
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 1: but he doesn't have the pressure of trying to win

259
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:30,360
Speaker 1: the game and feeling like he did it all by

260
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 1: do it all. You know, can't do it all by himself.

261
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 1: So I think there's a lot of benefit to Josh

262
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 1: Allen's development giving him hard fought wins like the one yesterday.

263
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 1: And you know, I'm not saying it wouldn't be nice

264
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 1: to have him slinging around for three hundred yards. I

265
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 1: don't think the weapons are there to do that. I

266
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 1: don't and I think that's coming too. I do think

267
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:50,000
Speaker 1: that down the road, maybe the season, later this season,

268
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 1: he'll have a big passing game. Certainly by next year,

269
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:56,280
Speaker 1: with a few more weapons and maybe some added help

270
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 1: up front on the offensive line, they can do that

271
00:12:58,120 --> 00:12:59,839
Speaker 1: more often. I think he's on the right track. But

272
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 1: let's get your thoughts on it. We'll take your phone

273
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 1: calls at eight oh three, five fifty and toll free

274
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 1: one eight eight eight by fifty two five fifty. Good

275
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:09,560
Speaker 1: show today, not quite a complete full show, but let's

276
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:11,200
Speaker 1: tell you what we got coming up at the bottom

277
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 1: of the hour, about seventeen minutes away. We're gonna talk

278
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:15,560
Speaker 1: with brand new Bills defensive line in Jordan Phillips. Did

279
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:18,560
Speaker 1: you see him dancing around yesterday? Just acquired claimed off

280
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 1: waivers last Wednesday. He was happy to be out of flour,

281
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:24,880
Speaker 1: back back in Buffalo for the winter. He's back from

282
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 1: being a snowbird. It's like he's coming back for the summer.

283
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:29,080
Speaker 1: He was happy to be out of that. I said

284
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 1: that the kelso on the broadcast. Most people aren't that

285
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:33,840
Speaker 1: happy to go from Miami to Buffalo, but Jordan's snowbird.

286

Speaker 1: like he was having a lot of fun. Coming up

00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 1: toll free one eight eight eight five fifty two five fifty.

309
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 1: You can answer our question. Would you rather have Josh

310
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:39,720
Speaker 1: Allen play like you did yesterday eighty two yards passing

311
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 1: the Bills win or throw for three hundred and the

312
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 1: Bills and the Bills lose? What do you think? Give

313
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 1: us a call. Let's take a call or two here, Steve,

314
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 1: let's go to Gourd and Saskatchewan. Hello, Gord, Hey, John, Hi, Hey,

315
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 1: great call yesterday on the house money. Are we really excited?

316
00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 1: We were out fishing on the fun Oh thanks Gordon.

317
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 1: I do I do agree with you know, Josh shows

318
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 1: a lot of grits I feel, and I think, you know,

319
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 1: keeping them safe and uh, you know, under wraps a

320
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:13,560
Speaker 1: little bit. I think is maybe the right way to go.

321
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 1: I think, you know, if he had a few more weapons,

322
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 1: he might be a little bit more effective. Thank you,

323
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:22,600
Speaker 1: no question, you bet, Gordon, and I agree with you.

324
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:26,960
Speaker 1: I think you know, yeah, I just don't think this

325
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:29,280
Speaker 1: offense isn't the right Is it the spot where you're

326
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 1: thinking you're gonna have a quarterback, any quarterback is gonna

327
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 1: go out and throw for three hundred um. I think

328
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 1: that's that's unrealistic. And I think the recipe for this

329
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 1: offense is exactly what you saw yesterday. The problem is

330
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 1: what are other teams gonna do to take them out

331
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 1: of that recipe. Now, the defense has a lot to

332
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:47,280
Speaker 1: say about how this team plays, no question about it.

333
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 1: And they had a big statement about yesterday. They came

334
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 1: out with three turnovers. On the first series of the

335
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:55,200
Speaker 1: down of downs they got to turn over, the Bills

336
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 1: turned it into the Josh Allen touchdown, and that to me,

337
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 1: and I watched the game twice. Now, that is what

338
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:08,880
Speaker 1: we always talk about. Or we had this conversation last

339
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 1: week and I've had it every periodically. When something good

340
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 1: goes your way early in the game, it has a

341
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:16,480
Speaker 1: ripple effect for an extended period of time to that

342
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 1: first half, and I thought that really carried the Bills

343
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 1: way through the first half when they got that first touchdown.

344
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:25,240
Speaker 1: Their defense was better, their offense was more confident, their

345
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:29,200
Speaker 1: running game was in the mix for a longer period

346
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 1: of time. They didn't abandon it, They didn't feel like

347
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:33,080
Speaker 1: they were behind and kind of think, well, we can

348
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 1: run it, but should we run it? Everything changed because

349
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 1: of the ripple effect of that first turnover and that

350
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:41,840
Speaker 1: and turning it into that first touchdown. That's if the

351
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:44,040
Speaker 1: Bills can continue to get off to a positive start

352
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:47,720
Speaker 1: like that, that keeping them in the game and letting

353
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 1: their defense play and putting it back in the hands

354
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 1: of their defense and on that side of the football

355
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:55,480
Speaker 1: with their opponent's offense. I think that is exactly where

356
00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:57,520
Speaker 1: the Bills wanted to be, and that that ripple effect

357
00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:01,080
Speaker 1: I think was palpable, even though even on the broadcast

358
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 1: that I watched in the game, I thought that was

359
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:05,760
Speaker 1: really the difference in the in the game was their

360
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 1: ability to get off that fast start. And I think

361
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:09,880
Speaker 1: that's what teams are going to try and take away

362
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:11,879
Speaker 1: from them in the future, like you know the Texans

363
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:15,240
Speaker 1: this week. Yeah, call here from Michael and Georgia. Hello Michael,

364
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:19,159
Speaker 1: go ahead, Hey guys, great talking to ball CEO. Thank you.

365
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:22,480
Speaker 1: I've got a couple of questions, and I've got a comment,

366
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 1: and hopefully you can lead me on for a couple

367
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 1: of minutes after because I'm in my current Georgia and

368
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:30,399
Speaker 1: I don't have you on the radio. Okay, okay, okay, okay. So,

369
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 1: first of all, the first question I had was what

370
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 1: happened on that fair catch? And then and then the

371
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:39,879
Speaker 1: guy runs, yeah, after we catch so far, what happened

372
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:42,720
Speaker 1: on that? That's the first question. Yeah, they missed it?

373
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:45,640
Speaker 1: I guess you know. Mark Kelso was livid on our broadcast,

374
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:48,920
Speaker 1: our radio broadcast yesterday the thirty eight yard punt return

375
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:51,159
Speaker 1: where I didn't see it, and I went back and

376
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:53,400
Speaker 1: looked on video today and couldn't see it there either.

377
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 1: But apparently, according to Kelso, when a couple of others

378
00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 1: in our booth, there was a clear fair catch signal

379
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:01,359
Speaker 1: that the official didn't catch and and it was number fourteen,

380
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:05,440
Speaker 1: the punt return guy for Tennessee. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Can

381
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 1: that be challenged? Is that challengeable or question? That's a

382
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:12,120
Speaker 1: good question, Mick Williams, That's sorry, Yeah, no, I don't

383
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:16,480
Speaker 1: I don't know that could be challenged. Uh, but it

384
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:19,200
Speaker 1: never in the broadcast. I watched it was never an issue.

385
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:22,240
Speaker 1: I never saw it. I didn't see him fair catch it.

386
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 1: If he did, it was very early in the kick. Uh.

387
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 1: And sometimes that's an issue because what happens is when

388
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 1: the balls in the air coming to the return or

389
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:32,480
Speaker 1: the the official who's watching for that won't even bring

390
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:37,200
Speaker 1: his eyes to the return guy until the coverage team

391
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:39,879
Speaker 1: is about halfway down there. So if he did it

392
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 1: really early, that's you know, the official may not might

393
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 1: not have seen it, might not been in his field

394
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:49,160
Speaker 1: of vision, so you can miss it. And certainly there's

395
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 1: a lot. This is I gotta tell you this the

396
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:53,840
Speaker 1: first I've heard about it. Oh yeah, Kelso went nuts?

397
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:56,399
Speaker 1: Did he? Oh? He went nuts? Yeah. I didn't see it,

398
00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:58,399
Speaker 1: so it's hard for me. I said, Mark, I have

399
00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:01,200
Speaker 1: two words for you, Decalf. I mean, that's how crazy

400
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:04,000
Speaker 1: he went. Y. Yeah, he said the signal fair catch.

401
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:07,159
Speaker 1: He said he clearly saw signal fair catch. Michael and Georgie.

402
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:10,280
Speaker 1: He had another point. Yeah, I had other questions, so yeah,

403
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:12,240
Speaker 1: and then I had a comment after this question, so

404
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:14,920
Speaker 1: So tells. So also said something about Jerry Hughes when

405
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:20,199
Speaker 1: he had a quarterback for UH Tennessee and he had

406
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:22,200
Speaker 1: him wrapped up for a sack and said he he

407
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:24,240
Speaker 1: didn't sack him, it's because he was a faid. He

408
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:29,399
Speaker 1: was going to get a penal. Yeah. Oh, Michael, that

409
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 1: was in the first quarter when he used it and

410
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:35,040
Speaker 1: wrapped up and said that sack didn't happen because because

411
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:38,760
Speaker 1: Jerry Hughes was didn't want a penalty. Yep. I don't

412
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 1: think that's the case. I think what happened was Jerry

413
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:45,680
Speaker 1: Hughes thought the ball was gone. I thought he thought

414
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:50,880
Speaker 1: the win because when just before he got there, Mariota went,

415
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:53,400
Speaker 1: you know, Pump faked it, and Hughes had his head

416
00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:55,920
Speaker 1: down and he could see the body language and he

417
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:59,200
Speaker 1: thought the ball was thrown. That's why I think he

418
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:04,600
Speaker 1: didn't tackle him finished that tackle. Although I might be wrong,

419
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:06,119
Speaker 1: I have to I haven't hear I didn't hear it.

420
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:09,240
Speaker 1: Jerry Hughes addressed that in the media. Yet, Michael, your third,

421
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:11,560
Speaker 1: your point after your two questions and my point, and

422
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:13,760
Speaker 1: please guys leave me out so I can hear, because

423
00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:16,359
Speaker 1: they're really value You're both your opinions. Okay, okay. So,

424
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:22,359
Speaker 1: so the interception that was thrown h by Josh in

425
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:24,720
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter there after the ball was tiffed. What

426
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 1: I admired about him was the fact that he didn't

427
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:29,520
Speaker 1: do it, Joe Ferguson. He didn't hang his head, went

428
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:32,760
Speaker 1: to the sideline, stayed pumped up. And then after that,

429
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:36,479
Speaker 1: he drives the team down the field poised, I mean,

430
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:39,680
Speaker 1: under pressure, you know, in some ways looked like a

431
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:42,280
Speaker 1: veteran on that drive for the game winning field goal.

432
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:44,720
Speaker 1: And I just you know, throwing for eighty five yards,

433
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 1: eighty two yard yards, two hundred yards. That in his

434
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 1: development really impressed me that this kid is a competitor.

435
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,720
Speaker 1: You know, well, he's got he's got that Steve Tasker

436
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:57,879
Speaker 1: kind of heart. And I just want to hear what

437
00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:00,560
Speaker 1: you guys have to say. Yeah, I'm right there with Michael,

438
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:02,840
Speaker 1: and I said it earlier on in this show, and

439
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:04,960
Speaker 1: I said it after the Minnesota game. He's got a

440
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:08,880
Speaker 1: competitive fire that burns hot and it's it's pretty impressive

441
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:11,520
Speaker 1: to watch it work. And you saw it yesterday. He

442
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:14,120
Speaker 1: bounced right back, you're right after that, led the team downfield,

443
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:17,080
Speaker 1: even running in for the first quarter touchdown. You see,

444
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:18,720
Speaker 1: I don't know, I hope you saw him celebrate that

445
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 1: and go to the bench and slap I fives that

446
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:24,680
Speaker 1: I think is part of his complete makeup. And yeah,

447
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:26,760
Speaker 1: he threw for eighty two yards. That's not gonna be enough.

448
00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:29,200
Speaker 1: That's not gonna suffice a year from now, two years

449
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:32,240
Speaker 1: from now, for sure, But you gotta I admire his

450
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:34,720
Speaker 1: competitive fire. I do. I admire the way he plays,

451
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:37,240
Speaker 1: the way he tries to lead with the competition. I

452
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 1: think he's great at that early on in his career.

453
00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:41,879
Speaker 1: And I think one of the things that the reason

454
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:44,360
Speaker 1: you like that is because it always it shows he's

455
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:47,800
Speaker 1: always engaged with the entire team. You know, he's always

456
00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:51,240
Speaker 1: invested in whatever the team's doing, defense, offense, running game,

457
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:55,120
Speaker 1: passing game. He is there for all of his teammates,

458
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:59,720
Speaker 1: not just his receivers, not just his quarterbacks, coach, not

459
00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 1: just you know, the offensive side of the ball. He's

460
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:05,160
Speaker 1: a total He's a total team guy. And I think

461
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:10,040
Speaker 1: it's a huge plus to know, particularly if he does

462
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:12,840
Speaker 1: develop and become this guy who's throwing for three fifty

463
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:15,879
Speaker 1: eight game and throws for the three touchdown game, and

464
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:19,520
Speaker 1: you know, is one of those elite guys and you know,

465
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:25,040
Speaker 1: carries the franchise on his back, you know, knowing having

466
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:29,119
Speaker 1: an entire roster knowing that he is that guy and

467
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:31,639
Speaker 1: also is invested in what they're doing. I'll tell you

468
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:33,760
Speaker 1: what is a Kui who covered kicks. I had a

469
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:36,679
Speaker 1: bunch of Hall of Fame guys who who were all

470
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:39,119
Speaker 1: who were really when I made a play, they were

471
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:41,439
Speaker 1: all out there slapping high fives with me. I mean

472
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:42,960
Speaker 1: they were all coming off the bench because they were

473
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:46,119
Speaker 1: watching me. It goes a long way down the roster.

474
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:50,639
Speaker 1: Knowing you've got your best players invested in what the

475
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:53,840
Speaker 1: fifty third guy on the roster is doing, and that

476
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:57,760
Speaker 1: that raises the level of the entire team. The bar

477
00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:03,440
Speaker 1: gets raised high, the expectations get get elevated, and uh,

478
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:07,240
Speaker 1: it's it makes a huge difference. And to see him

479
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 1: do that, that's at least one thing that he's doing

480
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 1: extremely well at this young age. And I don't know,

481
00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:14,560
Speaker 1: you know, the short of course, we'd love to see

482
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:16,080
Speaker 1: him do a bunch of other stuff, a lot more

483
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:19,280
Speaker 1: to grow, you know what. That's he's got one thing down, yeah,

484
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:20,879
Speaker 1: and it's good to sign a room to grow. Hey.

485
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:23,439
Speaker 1: The Bills win at thirteen twelve over the Tennessee Titans,

486
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:25,600
Speaker 1: two wins in their last three games. We were there,

487
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:27,119
Speaker 1: I was there, in the locker room after the game.

488
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:28,440
Speaker 1: There was a lot of comments about the game, a

489
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 1: lot of guys talking. Let's take a listen. It's around

490
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 1: the locker room, presented by Units Upstate New York Transplant Services,

491
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:38,080
Speaker 1: Save Lives, Joined Team Units, donate blood, Visit Units dot org.

492
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:42,359
Speaker 1: Time to go around the locker room running back Lashan

493
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:46,280
Speaker 1: McCoy on Buffalo's offensive game plan. That was kind of mainfols,

494
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 1: get the office in line, going, running the ball, thought

495
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:54,680
Speaker 1: about to using Chris and there different packages making a

496
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:57,640
Speaker 1: game a lot easier for Josh, easy reads, learning the ball,

497
00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:00,640
Speaker 1: and maybe doing some play actions game on Ruber because

498
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:03,440
Speaker 1: he can run um. That was kind of game plan.

499
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:05,240
Speaker 1: You know, let the defense due to the thing, and

500
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:08,560
Speaker 1: we had some things we could have did better, I

501
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:11,000
Speaker 1: think in the raid zone. Other than that, I think

502
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:15,040
Speaker 1: that the game plan it was nice. Quarterback Josh Hammon

503
00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:19,600
Speaker 1: on the Bill's final scoring drive. We you know, decided

504
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:22,240
Speaker 1: where we're gonna run the rocks, and Coach j will

505
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:24,000
Speaker 1: tell me, he's like, we're gonna put it in our

506
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:26,280
Speaker 1: alignment's hands. And you know, they did a really great

507
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:28,680
Speaker 1: job and that's a really good front that we faced today.

508
00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:31,920
Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans are a great defense. Um, you know top

509
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:33,840
Speaker 1: I want to say, top seven or top ten and

510
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:37,320
Speaker 1: basically everything. So to see that from our guys and

511
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:40,440
Speaker 1: see the excitement they had, um, you know, it's gonna

512
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:46,200
Speaker 1: definitely progress us moving forward. Jerry Hughes the defense's performance

513
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:48,800
Speaker 1: against Tennessee. It was a lot of fun. You know,

514
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:51,000
Speaker 1: our crowd was in the game throughout the whole time.

515
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:53,960
Speaker 1: You know, they they brought that extra energy that we needed,

516
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:56,199
Speaker 1: and uh, it was great. You know, we went out there,

517
00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:59,480
Speaker 1: we executed, you know, we forced some turnovers, we gave

518
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:01,359
Speaker 1: our offense sort of field that we did everything we

519
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:03,240
Speaker 1: wanted to do, and we came out with the outcome.

520
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:05,719
Speaker 1: So it was a lot of fun. Fighting back your

521
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:09,560
Speaker 1: Lorenzo Alexander bouncing back after the Lawson Green Bay, Well,

522
00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:12,120
Speaker 1: it was huge. I mean obviously we were one in three.

523
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:14,640
Speaker 1: I mean we had to get a win. Anytime you're

524
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:16,360
Speaker 1: able to find a way to win, especially at home,

525
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:19,480
Speaker 1: definitely boost your confidence. Now we have to deal with

526
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:21,960
Speaker 1: success last time we didn't. Got to figure out a

527
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:24,000
Speaker 1: way we can start stacking some wins and putting together

528
00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:28,600
Speaker 1: is getting and creating a streak. Here kick your Stephen

529
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:32,440
Speaker 1: Houshka on his game winning kick. It was good kick.

530
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:34,480
Speaker 1: It wasn't like the best one of the year, but

531
00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:37,800
Speaker 1: it was good and it got the job done. So

532
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:40,480
Speaker 1: I just didn't I didn't want to win to push

533
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:43,600
Speaker 1: that thing left. So that's why I started a kind

534
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 1: of you know, right center, and that's where it ended

535
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:51,359
Speaker 1: up at. Coach Sean McDermott on the effectiveness of the

536
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:54,280
Speaker 1: Bills rushing attack. Like I said earlier, it starts up

537
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:56,720
Speaker 1: front and then both backs I thought played extremely well.

538
00:25:57,200 --> 00:26:00,800
Speaker 1: The combination of Lashawan and Chris, like the personality that

539
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:03,600
Speaker 1: Chris gives us in terms of the physical style, and

540
00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:06,000
Speaker 1: you know he still still has an a building out

541
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:07,280
Speaker 1: of the backfield as well. So it was a good

542
00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:11,200
Speaker 1: one two punch for us. Here you go around the

543
00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:13,359
Speaker 1: locker room, brought to you by Unit's Upstate New York

544
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:16,520
Speaker 1: Transplant Services, John Murphy Steve Tasker in our one Buffalo

545
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:19,159
Speaker 1: studio asking you the question about yesterday's game. There's a

546
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:21,200
Speaker 1: lot and just here in the sound there's deeply reminded me.

547
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:23,000
Speaker 1: We still got to talk about how well they ran

548
00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:24,960
Speaker 1: the football, We got to talk about the takeaways. There

549
00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:26,920
Speaker 1: was a lot going on in that game yesterday, even

550
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:29,280
Speaker 1: in a low scoring game. Our Twitter poll deals with

551
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:31,639
Speaker 1: quarterback play, though we want we want to get the

552
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:34,480
Speaker 1: sense from you about would you rather have Josh Allen

553
00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:37,200
Speaker 1: throw for eighty two yards and get a win as

554
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:39,240
Speaker 1: happened yesterday, or would you rather have him throw for

555
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:41,960
Speaker 1: three hundred yards in the Bills lose. We're taking calls

556
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:44,119
Speaker 1: on that, and we got some comments on the tweams.

557
00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:46,240
Speaker 1: From Matt Rosendale, he says, I'm amazed at the amount

558
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:48,840
Speaker 1: of people saying three hundred and lows. I would think

559
00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:51,040
Speaker 1: a win has much more of a positive effect on

560
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:53,239
Speaker 1: his site. Let him get his bumps and bruises, make

561
00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:55,800
Speaker 1: sure he doesn't develop bad habits, then surround him next

562
00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:59,560
Speaker 1: year with more talent. See Carson Wentz from Matt Rosen

563
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:02,760
Speaker 1: and then from JW. Socks. How about he at least

564
00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:05,040
Speaker 1: throws for two hundred yards and they win. I don't

565
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:08,280
Speaker 1: see much progress in his passing, Yeah, and I and

566
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:10,399
Speaker 1: I see that too. It's pretty discouraging when a guy

567
00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:13,199
Speaker 1: he throws for eighty two yards, and I think one

568
00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:16,040
Speaker 1: of the things I'd like to see from him. It's

569
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:18,240
Speaker 1: not for me. It's not about the yards. Although that's

570
00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:21,879
Speaker 1: what we're using in the Twitter question Twitter poll. For me,

571
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:24,440
Speaker 1: it's about just seeing him hit an open guy and

572
00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:27,440
Speaker 1: hit him accurately. Just relax back there, I thought, which

573
00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:30,480
Speaker 1: he does down the field and field lies down the

574
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:32,200
Speaker 1: field and you'll see a guy in the flat or whatever.

575
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:34,639
Speaker 1: You'll see just take that easy one. Because if he

576
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:36,920
Speaker 1: takes a bunch of those easy ones, pretty soon the

577
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:39,480
Speaker 1: ones down the field are gonna look white, more wide open,

578
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:41,760
Speaker 1: they'll get more separation in the back end, and he'll

579
00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:43,919
Speaker 1: be able to rip it down the field. Because if

580
00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:46,080
Speaker 1: you start completing a bunch of those short ones and

581
00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:48,480
Speaker 1: you're getting even if you're getting four to six yard gains,

582
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:50,919
Speaker 1: maybe a guy breaks a tack and gets a better one,

583
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:54,800
Speaker 1: everything's gonna get better exponentially. You start completing passes, no

584
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:57,399
Speaker 1: matter how long or short they are, things are going

585
00:27:57,480 --> 00:27:59,920
Speaker 1: to get better for you every place else. Tweet from

586
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:03,120
Speaker 1: Tiffany Daniels, who says wins, wins, and more wins, that's

587
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:05,640
Speaker 1: what it's all about. The stats will come for Josh.

588
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:08,719
Speaker 1: It's building a total team and winning culture. At one

589
00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:12,920
Speaker 1: Bill's Drive, I get there, Yeah. From Sean Claire three

590
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:16,520
Speaker 1: hundred and lows Sean Claire says wins will come in

591
00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:19,720
Speaker 1: bunches if he's a capable NFL passer. Throwing for eighty

592
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:22,200
Speaker 1: two yards just brings up more questions about his ability.

593
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:24,760
Speaker 1: I don't think so. I think we're watching development here.

594
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:27,560
Speaker 1: We're watching a guy develop trying to get better, and

595
00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:29,320
Speaker 1: it's not going to be a steady climb. It's not

596
00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:31,400
Speaker 1: going to get better every week. And they're big step

597
00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:34,320
Speaker 1: back at Green Bay last week, a pretty significant step

598
00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:36,760
Speaker 1: forward this week, even with eighty two yards, a game

599
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:39,800
Speaker 1: winning scoring drive at the end, and there's a lot

600
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:42,520
Speaker 1: we don't see. They're certainly not asking him to throw

601
00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:44,680
Speaker 1: for three hundred yards. They're protecting him as much as

602
00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:47,920
Speaker 1: they can. They're running the football, they're playing with the lead,

603
00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:51,320
Speaker 1: they're not asking him to air it out. So they're

604
00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:54,840
Speaker 1: by that very nature of the game plan and the

605
00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:57,840
Speaker 1: play that they're putting forth on the field around him,

606
00:28:57,840 --> 00:28:59,760
Speaker 1: they're not asking him to throw the football. So it's

607
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:01,160
Speaker 1: not going to be a three hundred yard game the

608
00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:03,800
Speaker 1: way they're playing football and what he's being asked to do.

609
00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:08,800
Speaker 1: And so I think, like I said, there's a lot

610
00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:11,920
Speaker 1: in there in this question about what you see with

611
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:14,640
Speaker 1: him what you expect from him as a rookie and

612
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:17,880
Speaker 1: how the team is playing around him, and also a

613
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:21,280
Speaker 1: guy named a guy named Jello win with low yardage,

614
00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:24,040
Speaker 1: young kid with no receivers. I don't expect Alan to

615
00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:26,479
Speaker 1: be a one man show. And that's a little bit.

616
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:29,560
Speaker 1: That's one of the nuances about this question about where

617
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:31,760
Speaker 1: they're at as a football team and about what you

618
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:34,160
Speaker 1: can expect from him one as a rookie too, as

619
00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:37,600
Speaker 1: in this offense with the people around him, and three

620
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:39,840
Speaker 1: in a game where they've got a lead and they're

621
00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:41,760
Speaker 1: trying to protect it, and how much they really do

622
00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:43,200
Speaker 1: want to throw it at all. Let us know what

623
00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:45,760
Speaker 1: you think about this will continue this discussion along with

624
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:47,480
Speaker 1: many others throughout the course of the day. Would you

625
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:49,920
Speaker 1: rather have Josh Allen play like you did yesterday, throw

626
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:52,040
Speaker 1: for eighty two yards in the Bills win, or would

627
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:54,040
Speaker 1: you rather have Allan throw for three hundred yards and

628
00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 1: the Bills lose. I think it does say a lot

629
00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:58,560
Speaker 1: about your view of what the expectations are, what your

630
00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:01,040
Speaker 1: expectations are for the team. And we're getting a pretty

631
00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:03,440
Speaker 1: good response from on both sides from this so far

632
00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:05,720
Speaker 1: on Twitter and on the phone lines. All right, we're

633
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:07,840
Speaker 1: gonna take a break here. We'll rezoom this discussion in

634
00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:09,479
Speaker 1: a moment or two. But one of the high lights

635
00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:11,880
Speaker 1: who yesterday's game was the play of new defensive tackle

636
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:14,760

Speaker 1: a lot of fun. The atmosphere was amazing. Uh, the

655
00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:23,520
Speaker 1: fans are crazy. We were out there playing hard. It

656
00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:26,120
Speaker 1: was just a great welcome to Buffalo. So you you

657
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:29,440
Speaker 1: just you got here from the Dolphins, and how quickly

658
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:32,360
Speaker 1: did it look like you know you might Did they

659
00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:33,800
Speaker 1: tell you right away like, hey, we're gonna try and

660
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:35,280
Speaker 1: get you ready and get you in the game right

661
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:38,480
Speaker 1: away when you when you arrived here, like yeah, they

662
00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:40,200
Speaker 1: said it was all me. If I could learn my

663
00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:43,479
Speaker 1: plays and they felt comfortable enough with me getting in there,

664
00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:45,600
Speaker 1: they were gonna throw me in there. So three they

665
00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:47,760
Speaker 1: tell you you had earned their trust. When did they

666
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:51,640
Speaker 1: you know? It was like a game time decision. They said, Okay,

667
00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:53,200
Speaker 1: I think we're gonna give you a couple of snaps.

668
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:57,040
Speaker 1: That kind of thing. I couldn't tell you after our

669
00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:01,440
Speaker 1: I think our Thursday practice, my first practice, they felt

670
00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:03,400
Speaker 1: like I felt like they felt comfortable with me being

671
00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:05,560
Speaker 1: in there, and we just kept it rolling from there.

672
00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:08,560
Speaker 1: Three years with the Dolphins. Second round pick of the Dolphins,

673
00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:12,120
Speaker 1: Jordan Um, tell me about your experience there, what you

674
00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:14,200
Speaker 1: thought of it, What do you thought of how it

675
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:16,160
Speaker 1: went with the Dolphins, how they played. What did you

676
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:18,680
Speaker 1: think we were you attatched down there? Did you feel

677
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:21,960
Speaker 1: like you're belonged down there? Uh? Miami is a great place. Uh,

678
00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:29,240
Speaker 1: it's just Uh, I wouldn't necessarily say it's a there's

679
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:31,520
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff going on in Miami. Yeah, I'll

680
00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:34,640
Speaker 1: just put it that way. And it was as a

681
00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:37,840
Speaker 1: nice change to be in here in Buffalo with all

682
00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:40,120
Speaker 1: the fans and everything like that. It's a different atmosphere

683
00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:43,080
Speaker 1: for sure, different city for sure. And you grew up

684
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:47,520
Speaker 1: in the small town in Kansas, Wichita, which is where

685
00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:51,000
Speaker 1: I's where my family lives now, my mom and dad

686
00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:53,120
Speaker 1: and my brother. We kind of I've been in and

687
00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:54,640
Speaker 1: out of Wichita for my whole life. And you went

688
00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:56,600
Speaker 1: to high school there, and it's kind of Buffalo will

689
00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:59,640
Speaker 1: remind you a little pit more of Wichita than Miami did.

690
00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:01,640
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I'm a slope, slow paced kind of guy.

691
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:05,840
Speaker 1: I grew up on a farm city. Life really isn't

692
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:08,680
Speaker 1: for me anyway, So Buffalo is right at home for me, right, Jordan,

693
00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:11,840
Speaker 1: I got what happened last Sunday in Foxburg with the

694
00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:14,280
Speaker 1: Dolphins for there was some kind of thing. I never

695
00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:16,800
Speaker 1: saw any video of it or anything, but clearly that

696
00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:19,360
Speaker 1: was like the impetus to let the Dolphins release you

697
00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:23,880
Speaker 1: last week? Right? Uh No, I wouldn't say was that

698
00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:26,480
Speaker 1: we were There was a lot of discussions about me

699
00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:30,000
Speaker 1: not being there before that, and that was just the

700
00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:33,040
Speaker 1: last kind of thing where it was finally okay to

701
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:35,800
Speaker 1: let me go. And I was a sideline reporter for

702
00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:38,400
Speaker 1: CBS that day and yet last week and I never

703
00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:40,840
Speaker 1: saw it. Yeah, it was news to me. Yeah, it

704
00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:43,160
Speaker 1: was just blown out of proportions. You know, people push

705
00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:45,600
Speaker 1: stories to make everything okay, it is what it is.

706
00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:48,520
Speaker 1: So they released you what last Tuesday? Was it? And

707
00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:51,200
Speaker 1: then when did you find out about Buffalo? I'm sure

708
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:55,479
Speaker 1: there were other things? Yeah, Wednesday night or Wednesday at

709
00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:58,200
Speaker 1: four o'clock they called me and said, hey, you're gonna

710
00:33:58,200 --> 00:33:59,840
Speaker 1: be on a flight at seven. That was really it.

711
00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:04,520
Speaker 1: Seven and night. Yep, got up here practice Thursday, Friday,

712
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:08,040
Speaker 1: ready to go. Yep. That's that's pretty amazing, right. I

713
00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:10,280
Speaker 1: Mean you set out you had to dive into the playbook.

714
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:11,759
Speaker 1: But still it's a day and a half, two days

715
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:13,359
Speaker 1: to get ready to go. I mean it's not too

716
00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:16,080
Speaker 1: too tough. They played on an attack defense here and

717
00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:20,720
Speaker 1: I was an attack in Miami, so there wasn't much difference.

718
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:23,279
Speaker 1: I just needed to learn the verbiage. Talk talk a

719
00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:25,120
Speaker 1: little bit about the vibe in the locker room. I mean,

720
00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:26,880
Speaker 1: you're you're a new guy, but you seem like you

721
00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:30,840
Speaker 1: assimilated pretty well, and and you feel good with the

722
00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:32,879
Speaker 1: atmosphere and the team in the locker room. Obviously after

723
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:35,880
Speaker 1: when things are pretty positive. Yeah, it was good. I mean,

724
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:39,839
Speaker 1: wherever I go, where whatever ends up happening, I'm gonna

725
00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:42,120
Speaker 1: be me, and I can either be accepted or not.

726
00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:45,320
Speaker 1: And uh, I felt like they everybody here embraced me.

727
00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:47,480
Speaker 1: And that was a wonderful feeling. You step under the

728
00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:50,279
Speaker 1: field yesterday in that game the first half, I believe

729
00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:52,920
Speaker 1: you played in the first half yesterday, and it seemed

730
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:55,960
Speaker 1: like you immediately picked up on the vibe inside New Airfield.

731
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:57,320
Speaker 1: What did you pick up on him? What got you

732
00:34:57,760 --> 00:35:00,000
Speaker 1: dancing and gesturing and going crazy kind of the way

733
00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:03,279
Speaker 1: you did? H and the locker room we were having

734
00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:06,440
Speaker 1: a good time, Like I said, I played like this

735
00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:11,880
Speaker 1: in Miami. Is just it's just more embraced here. So

736
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:14,880
Speaker 1: it is it was fun. What were you doing in

737
00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:18,200
Speaker 1: the locker room and just playing a lot of music.

738
00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:21,880
Speaker 1: The everybody was vibing together. Everybody was on the same wavelengths.

739
00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:24,360
Speaker 1: And and to be a great team, that's what you

740
00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:28,040
Speaker 1: got to have. Everybody needs to be just one before

741
00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:29,600
Speaker 1: you go out there on the field. So you landed

742
00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:32,360
Speaker 1: here in Buffalo, and they're in Buffalo now they're in

743
00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:35,640
Speaker 1: the rookie quarterback business. You had a more established guy

744
00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:37,960
Speaker 1: in Ryan Tannehill in Miami. It's a different vibe, and

745
00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:40,480
Speaker 1: they really are kind of leaning on you guys on

746
00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:42,719
Speaker 1: your side of the football to do exactly I mean,

747
00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:45,279
Speaker 1: yesterday was the perfect recipe here in Buffalo for this

748
00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:47,719
Speaker 1: year anyway to try and win it with turnovers in

749
00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:49,800
Speaker 1: good defense and give your offense a chance just to

750
00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:53,080
Speaker 1: do enough. So that kind of played you kind of

751
00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:55,439
Speaker 1: like you guys on the vibe on the defensive side,

752
00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:58,080
Speaker 1: you guys must kind of relish the fact that you're

753
00:35:58,719 --> 00:36:02,000
Speaker 1: came through in such a big way yesterday. Uh yeah,

754
00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:07,520
Speaker 1: I mean defense wins uh ball games and offense sales tickets.

755
00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:11,880
Speaker 1: You know what I mean, And I can't speak on

756
00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:14,880
Speaker 1: anything that's going on here, you know, I'm like it,

757
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:17,480
Speaker 1: like we said, this is this day four here. For me,

758
00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:19,279
Speaker 1: I don't know the culture here. I don't know what

759
00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:20,920
Speaker 1: the offense has been doing. I don't know what the

760
00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:24,719
Speaker 1: defense has been doing. But I don't think we had

761
00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:26,960
Speaker 1: many turnovers. I can't even remember. I don't think the

762
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:29,880
Speaker 1: offense had any turn or one turnover, one turnover, like

763
00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:32,680
Speaker 1: and we had three or four. And that's a recipe

764
00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:36,880
Speaker 1: to win. So in my books, that's a team football. George,

765
00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:39,719
Speaker 1: you got your hand down the pass from Mariota at

766
00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:42,120
Speaker 1: one point in the game. Is that something you've done

767
00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:45,160
Speaker 1: in the past that you're specializing that knocking down pass? Well, actually,

768
00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:47,600
Speaker 1: before before that play, I told everybody, I'm gonna pick

769
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:49,520
Speaker 1: this off and I'm gonna take it to the house. Okay,

770
00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:52,520
Speaker 1: So I was disappointed that I didn't get the pick

771
00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:55,240
Speaker 1: and take it to the house. So in your background,

772
00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:58,399
Speaker 1: you you picked off Ryan Fitzpatrick a couple of years ago, right, Yeah,

773
00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:00,520
Speaker 1: you got pretty deep with the interest. Yeah, I mean,

774
00:37:00,520 --> 00:37:02,000
Speaker 1: I can get Jiggie with the ball if I gets

775
00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:03,960
Speaker 1: in my hands. So well, to see if we can

776
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:07,120
Speaker 1: get it there. It seems like there's a turnover mentality

777
00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:09,200
Speaker 1: that you've kind of walked into on this Buffalo defense.

778
00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:16,880
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, we have a lot of playmakers on our

779
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:18,600
Speaker 1: on our defense, we have a lot of studs and

780
00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:24,080
Speaker 1: their ballhawks, and we've got to keep it going. So

781
00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:25,879
Speaker 1: you played in mine for the last couple of years,

782
00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:28,160
Speaker 1: you played Buffalo twice a year. What was your view

783
00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:31,960
Speaker 1: of them before you got here as opposed to what

784
00:37:32,120 --> 00:37:34,440
Speaker 1: you've Is there anything surprising now that you got here,

785
00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:35,839
Speaker 1: and it's like, Wow, this is not what I thought

786
00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:37,840
Speaker 1: I was going to see. Being a Miami Dolphin and

787
00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:40,400
Speaker 1: being in the division and kind of having that, you know,

788
00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:44,279
Speaker 1: it's likely to kind of a wall up between you

789
00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:46,120
Speaker 1: and another team. You have these perceptions about what the

790
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:50,440
Speaker 1: other franchise in your division are like, and anything surprised you. No,

791
00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:55,040
Speaker 1: the only thing I really had about Buffalo was Richie

792
00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:58,600
Speaker 1: Richie Incognito. So me and Richie battled and stuff. Now

793
00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:00,880
Speaker 1: that's all I really had about Buffalo, don't you know?

794
00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:04,600
Speaker 1: That's all I mean? Just another team, Just another team.

795
00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:07,480
Speaker 1: So you've been here since Wednesday night. Have you settled

796
00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:08,880
Speaker 1: in yet or is that still to come? Do you

797
00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:11,759
Speaker 1: think this week. Uh yeah, I'm just staying at some

798

804
00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:30,279

Speaker 1: I'm healthy enough. Good stuff. Jordan, thanks for this, Thanks

Speaker 1: big crowd, big loudcrowd. McDermott said that was as loud

817
00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:23,279
Speaker 1: a crowd as he's heard in the two years he's

818
00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:25,840
Speaker 1: been here. Yeah, it was, it was they needed it.

819
00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:27,759
Speaker 1: I mean that was a game he won by the

820
00:39:27,840 --> 00:39:29,919
Speaker 1: skin of your teeth. And everybody had to do their part,

821
00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:33,359
Speaker 1: including the seventy five thousand members of the Twelfth Man.

822
00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:35,880
Speaker 1: I mean they all had to show up. Yeah, everybody

823
00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:38,239
Speaker 1: was needed at one point Buffalo fiftory. They all had

824
00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:40,919
Speaker 1: their role to play, including humor. Yeah, well not really.

825
00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:43,400
Speaker 1: Steve was not here. Steve, with his role with the

826
00:39:43,560 --> 00:39:47,320
Speaker 1: NFL on CBS sideline reporter, was in Cincinnati, right the

827
00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:52,320
Speaker 1: Dolphins and the Cincinnati Bengals. The Dolphins have hit the

828
00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:55,600
Speaker 1: skids here after three straight wins open the season. Steve right, well,

829
00:39:55,680 --> 00:39:58,640
Speaker 1: that they're they're two three and one. Teams met yesterday,

830
00:39:58,680 --> 00:40:01,279
Speaker 1: the Bengals and the Dolphins, and the Dolphins they looked

831
00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:04,360
Speaker 1: very different. The Dolphins got strummed in New England on

832
00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:07,200
Speaker 1: the road. They didn't win anything any of their three

833
00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:12,319
Speaker 1: games impressively, but and they took a seventeen point lead

834
00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:14,520
Speaker 1: into this one at halftime of this one and then

835
00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:21,200
Speaker 1: got beat twenty seven, twenty seven two, Yeah, seventeen. I'm

836
00:40:21,280 --> 00:40:26,480
Speaker 1: trying to remember, but but you talked about the stuff

837
00:40:26,480 --> 00:40:31,839
Speaker 1: that I heard, the sideline sounds from bows. The thing

838
00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:37,400
Speaker 1: that got me about this game in Cincinnati was this,

839
00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:41,919
Speaker 1: Marvin Lewis has been there for fourteen years, maybe sixteen years,

840
00:40:42,040 --> 00:40:45,640
Speaker 1: fourteen years, and he's had a lot of good football teams.

841
00:40:45,640 --> 00:40:47,560
Speaker 1: They've been to the playoffs a lot, but they've always

842
00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:49,080
Speaker 1: been one of those teams that kind of comes apart

843
00:40:49,120 --> 00:40:51,880
Speaker 1: at the seams, guys like Vontes Berfet, who actually was

844
00:40:51,960 --> 00:40:56,239
Speaker 1: back in on the field last week yesterday. They've been

845
00:40:56,280 --> 00:40:59,560
Speaker 1: a very immature team at times under Marvin Lewis, and

846
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:01,920
Speaker 1: particularly when they got to where it was in the

847
00:41:01,960 --> 00:41:05,000
Speaker 1: playoffs and they got some big games, they tended to

848
00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:08,040
Speaker 1: come apart of the scene. This roster from Marvin Lewis,

849
00:41:08,120 --> 00:41:09,279
Speaker 1: and this is one of the things I heard and

850
00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:13,560
Speaker 1: watched on the sidelines yesterday, this game. This team is

851
00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:16,160
Speaker 1: the youngest roster Marvin Lewis has ever had as head

852
00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:18,879
Speaker 1: coach in Cincinnati on average age, they're the youngest he's

853
00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:21,680
Speaker 1: ever had. But they are the most mature team he

854
00:41:21,760 --> 00:41:24,920
Speaker 1: has ever put together. The way they handled a seventeen

855
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:27,680
Speaker 1: point deficit, bouncing back and coming back and winning that

856
00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:30,919
Speaker 1: game by scoring twenty seven unanswered points against the Miami

857
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:35,440
Speaker 1: Dolphins yesterday was the mark of a really mature team.

858
00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:38,560
Speaker 1: And they did it not only on the field, but

859
00:41:38,680 --> 00:41:41,000
Speaker 1: even on the sidelines. I was standing on their sidelines.

860
00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:43,080
Speaker 1: I could hear and see all that was going on.

861
00:41:43,280 --> 00:41:47,359
Speaker 1: They were very mature, very put together, and they were

862
00:41:48,120 --> 00:41:51,640
Speaker 1: very businesslike and discipline and it's something that we haven't

863
00:41:51,680 --> 00:41:57,520
Speaker 1: seen from a from a Cincinnati team under the Marvin Lewis.

864
00:41:58,080 --> 00:42:00,719
Speaker 1: They gave up this seventy yard punt turn in the

865
00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:04,640
Speaker 1: first half for a touchdown, gave Miami a fourteen to

866
00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:09,399
Speaker 1: nothing lead, and they did not panic. The Bengals came back,

867
00:42:09,680 --> 00:42:12,399
Speaker 1: put their head down. Marvin Lewis said, Listen. They beat

868
00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:15,320
Speaker 1: us in every phase of the game offense, defense, and

869
00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:17,319
Speaker 1: special teams in the first half, but they came out

870
00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:24,960
Speaker 1: and got twenty seven unanswered points. So the Bengals, for me,

871
00:42:25,080 --> 00:42:27,200
Speaker 1: are a team for people around the AFC and around

872
00:42:27,200 --> 00:42:29,800
Speaker 1: the NFL to watch because they may put together something

873
00:42:29,880 --> 00:42:31,879
Speaker 1: this year that they haven't put together in a long time.

874
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:34,040
Speaker 1: I said you, I told you back in August when

875
00:42:34,040 --> 00:42:36,120
Speaker 1: the Bengals came in here and played a preseason game,

876
00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:39,319
Speaker 1: the traditional third preseason game when the starters go longer.

877
00:42:39,360 --> 00:42:41,720
Speaker 1: I thought they were very impressive, especially on the defensive

878
00:42:41,760 --> 00:42:44,040
Speaker 1: side of the ball. Now they're four and one, second

879
00:42:44,080 --> 00:42:46,960
Speaker 1: best record in the AFC behind just Kansas City. Are

880
00:42:47,040 --> 00:42:49,040
Speaker 1: they the second best team in the conference right now?

881
00:42:50,760 --> 00:42:52,800
Speaker 1: You can make a case for them because you know

882
00:42:52,920 --> 00:42:55,879
Speaker 1: their defense really did it for him yesterday. You see

883
00:42:55,920 --> 00:42:58,759
Speaker 1: the play on that's happening right now. Tannehill trying to

884
00:42:58,840 --> 00:43:00,759
Speaker 1: throw it away. It bounces off the helmet of his

885
00:43:01,280 --> 00:43:04,080
Speaker 1: tight end right into the arms of Michael Johnson, who

886
00:43:04,120 --> 00:43:07,920
Speaker 1: walks in for a defensive touchdown. Happened again as Tannehill scrambles,

887
00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:10,120
Speaker 1: he comes out to his right, gets his arm hit

888
00:43:10,360 --> 00:43:13,279
Speaker 1: and the ball flutters one yard into the hands of

889
00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:16,320
Speaker 1: Hubbard who runs it in another defensive walk in touchdown.

890
00:43:16,600 --> 00:43:18,880
Speaker 1: They had two of those go their way yesterday. And

891
00:43:19,040 --> 00:43:21,880
Speaker 1: this game really, at the end of it, the Bengals

892
00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:24,239
Speaker 1: want it by ten points and it didn't even seem

893
00:43:24,360 --> 00:43:26,680
Speaker 1: that close, and it was a game completely dominated by

894
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:31,120
Speaker 1: Miami for thirty minutes. That's Ryan Tannehill, I know, Yeah, seriously,

895
00:43:31,680 --> 00:43:34,560
Speaker 1: he's not good well, you know, and to think about it,

896
00:43:34,640 --> 00:43:40,120
Speaker 1: it's also the Andy Dalton. We know, you know, he's

897
00:43:40,200 --> 00:43:41,919
Speaker 1: not the guy that wins it, but he can't lose

898
00:43:41,960 --> 00:43:43,640
Speaker 1: it for you. You know, he'll throw the bad pick,

899
00:43:43,760 --> 00:43:48,080
Speaker 1: He'll he'll throw the you know, the incomplete pass. He'll

900
00:43:48,120 --> 00:43:52,680
Speaker 1: throw one up for grabs. Not yesterday. Andy Dalton was

901
00:43:53,040 --> 00:43:58,880
Speaker 1: was really good yesterday. And Ryan Tannehill after halftime struggled,

902
00:43:58,920 --> 00:44:01,000
Speaker 1: went twenty of thirty five. Andy Dalton was twenty of

903
00:44:01,120 --> 00:44:04,960
Speaker 1: thirty and those you know, those two quarterbacks. While they're

904
00:44:05,040 --> 00:44:07,440
Speaker 1: kind of in that same rung of second tier quarterbacks

905
00:44:07,480 --> 00:44:10,200
Speaker 1: behind the elite guys, Andy Dalton has got a real

906
00:44:10,280 --> 00:44:13,000
Speaker 1: squad around him and they're playing well, particularly on the

907
00:44:13,080 --> 00:44:16,520
Speaker 1: other side of the football. Right, that's Steve's sideline. Sounds right.

908
00:44:18,360 --> 00:44:19,680
Speaker 1: You got this week? What are you going next week?

909
00:44:19,800 --> 00:44:23,879
Speaker 1: Rather give me a minute. I've got Baltimore Ravens at

910
00:44:23,960 --> 00:44:27,439
Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans. I've got the Times this week, and yeah,

911
00:44:27,480 --> 00:44:29,480
Speaker 1: the biggest it's a four o'clock game. So the biggest

912
00:44:29,520 --> 00:44:31,480
Speaker 1: issue is can I get a flight back here on

913
00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:33,600
Speaker 1: Sunday night and make it in here with you on Monday?

914
00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:35,719
Speaker 1: You might you might have Chris Brown in here with

915
00:44:35,800 --> 00:44:37,960

1002
00:48:53,200 --> 00:48:56,160
Speaker 1: long time Bills running back Fred Jackson, joins us right

1003
00:48:56,200 --> 00:48:59,040
Speaker 1: now on the Subway Fresh Tech Hotline. Fred, John Murphy

1004
00:48:59,080 --> 00:49:01,600
Speaker 1: and Steve here in Buffalo. Hi, you doing, dood man,

1005
00:49:01,680 --> 00:49:03,759
Speaker 1: doing well? Thanks for having me again. Give us your

1006
00:49:03,840 --> 00:49:05,960
Speaker 1: thoughts on that game and especially how the Bills ran

1007
00:49:06,080 --> 00:49:09,040
Speaker 1: the ball yesterday? What did you think I think they did?

1008
00:49:09,160 --> 00:49:12,480
Speaker 1: They they obviously saw something on film where they were

1009
00:49:12,480 --> 00:49:14,800
Speaker 1: going to run the ball forty times and live with

1010
00:49:14,880 --> 00:49:17,040
Speaker 1: the outcome. I think that's you know, as a running back,

1011
00:49:17,080 --> 00:49:18,680
Speaker 1: that's your dream. So you know, it was a game

1012
00:49:18,719 --> 00:49:20,840
Speaker 1: that I love watching. I love watching with all the

1013
00:49:20,880 --> 00:49:23,200
Speaker 1: backs brought to the table, you know, watching Shady do

1014
00:49:23,280 --> 00:49:25,719
Speaker 1: what he does and make people missing safe. And it

1015
00:49:25,840 --> 00:49:27,480
Speaker 1: was good to see Chris Ivey out there, you know,

1016
00:49:27,640 --> 00:49:30,839
Speaker 1: running into guys, creating a physical part of the game.

1017
00:49:30,880 --> 00:49:33,200
Speaker 1: So you know, for me, you know, it may be

1018
00:49:33,320 --> 00:49:35,319
Speaker 1: born to some people, but you know, as a running back,

1019
00:49:35,360 --> 00:49:37,759
Speaker 1: it was fun to watch. Talk a little about I

1020
00:49:37,880 --> 00:49:40,879
Speaker 1: was gonna ask you, Fred, what did you think about

1021
00:49:40,920 --> 00:49:43,800
Speaker 1: this recipe? Do you think they can repeat it often

1022
00:49:43,960 --> 00:49:46,160
Speaker 1: enough to get more wins than losses this year? Can

1023
00:49:46,200 --> 00:49:48,399
Speaker 1: they get enough turnovers? Can they use the running game

1024
00:49:48,440 --> 00:49:50,800
Speaker 1: that much? And what's the next step for the defenses

1025
00:49:50,840 --> 00:49:54,920
Speaker 1: they're gonna face to counteract this recipe? Well, yeah, I

1026
00:49:55,040 --> 00:49:58,160
Speaker 1: think that's just it one. If your defense continues to

1027
00:49:58,239 --> 00:50:00,279
Speaker 1: play the way the guys played yesterday, it's and make

1028
00:50:00,320 --> 00:50:02,680
Speaker 1: it a lot easier for everybody on you know, in

1029
00:50:02,760 --> 00:50:06,080
Speaker 1: the Bill's uniform. Anytime you can create three turnovers and

1030
00:50:06,160 --> 00:50:09,400
Speaker 1: give your you know, your offense three more opportunities to

1031
00:50:09,560 --> 00:50:11,960
Speaker 1: get points, it's gonna be great for your team. So

1032
00:50:13,160 --> 00:50:15,440
Speaker 1: I think it's a recipe that you may have to

1033
00:50:15,520 --> 00:50:18,040
Speaker 1: live with. Like I said before, though, there's gonna be

1034
00:50:18,120 --> 00:50:20,080
Speaker 1: things that they want to do differently week to week,

1035
00:50:20,440 --> 00:50:23,040
Speaker 1: depending on what it is, the offensive coordinators and the

1036
00:50:23,120 --> 00:50:26,520
Speaker 1: head coaches, the in film. You know, sometimes they may say,

1037
00:50:26,600 --> 00:50:28,680
Speaker 1: you know, it's gonna be tough lead and running this week,

1038
00:50:28,719 --> 00:50:30,719
Speaker 1: but I think we can take up some advantage or

1039
00:50:30,840 --> 00:50:35,520
Speaker 1: some mismatches, is some mismatches on the receiver side the ball,

1040
00:50:35,560 --> 00:50:36,839
Speaker 1: and they may want to throw the ball a little

1041
00:50:36,840 --> 00:50:41,040
Speaker 1: bit more. Yeah, yeah, I mean I think it's just

1042
00:50:41,120 --> 00:50:42,600
Speaker 1: gonna be one of those things where they go week

1043
00:50:42,640 --> 00:50:44,359
Speaker 1: to week. Yeah, And that's why I want to get

1044
00:50:44,360 --> 00:50:45,759
Speaker 1: you with you, Fred, And you make a great point

1045
00:50:45,800 --> 00:50:48,040
Speaker 1: about that week to week stuff. And look, I don't

1046
00:50:48,040 --> 00:50:51,400
Speaker 1: think anyone would argue that the Bill's offensive production yesterday

1047
00:50:51,800 --> 00:50:54,040
Speaker 1: eighty two yards through the air. I don't think anyone

1048
00:50:54,080 --> 00:50:56,919
Speaker 1: would argue that that's sustainable or at a championship level.

1049
00:50:57,120 --> 00:50:59,799
Speaker 1: But for now, with a rocky quarterback and a team

1050
00:51:00,200 --> 00:51:02,880
Speaker 1: to find some footing here, I think that's okay, Right,

1051
00:51:02,960 --> 00:51:05,360
Speaker 1: What do you think I do? I think that's you know,

1052
00:51:05,800 --> 00:51:07,359
Speaker 1: it's one of the things that the coaches are doing

1053
00:51:07,400 --> 00:51:09,440
Speaker 1: a tremendous job. They're saying, Look, we're gonna do what

1054
00:51:09,560 --> 00:51:12,120
Speaker 1: it takes for us to win this game, and then

1055
00:51:12,200 --> 00:51:13,840
Speaker 1: next week we'll see what it takes for us to

1056
00:51:13,880 --> 00:51:15,920
Speaker 1: win that game. And at the end of the day

1057
00:51:15,960 --> 00:51:17,800
Speaker 1: and at the end of the year, the most important

1058
00:51:17,840 --> 00:51:20,719
Speaker 1: stat is, you know, wins and losses, and it doesn't

1059
00:51:20,760 --> 00:51:22,400
Speaker 1: matter how you get the most wins that you can.

1060
00:51:22,520 --> 00:51:24,279
Speaker 1: That's what your work. You're out there working for. So

1061
00:51:24,640 --> 00:51:26,400
Speaker 1: I think all the guys in the locker room are

1062
00:51:26,440 --> 00:51:28,840
Speaker 1: going to be on that same page. We have a

1063
00:51:28,960 --> 00:51:31,560
Speaker 1: rookie quarterback in YO. There's gonna be days that we

1064
00:51:31,640 --> 00:51:33,960
Speaker 1: need him to light up the scoreboard and put up

1065
00:51:33,960 --> 00:51:35,680
Speaker 1: a lot of points for us to win. But if

1066
00:51:35,719 --> 00:51:36,880
Speaker 1: we can go out and we can get in the

1067
00:51:36,920 --> 00:51:38,839
Speaker 1: dog fight and run the ball party times and still

1068
00:51:38,880 --> 00:51:41,120
Speaker 1: come away with it, you know, thirteen twelve win, that's

1069
00:51:41,160 --> 00:51:43,000
Speaker 1: something that we're gonna be happy about. Fred. It's a

1070
00:51:43,040 --> 00:51:45,120
Speaker 1: week to week league, and this week of Bill's head

1071
00:51:45,160 --> 00:51:49,480
Speaker 1: to Houston to take on DeAndre Hopkins and Deshaun Watson.

1072
00:51:50,080 --> 00:51:52,439
Speaker 1: I don't know if you saw the Houston Texans Dallas

1073
00:51:52,480 --> 00:51:55,560
Speaker 1: Cowboy game last night, but DeAndre Hopkins put on a

1074
00:51:55,640 --> 00:51:58,279
Speaker 1: real show, and he seems to be the engine that

1075
00:51:58,400 --> 00:52:02,200
Speaker 1: drives really their entire team. Yeah, and I mean he's

1076
00:52:02,200 --> 00:52:03,840
Speaker 1: a lot of fun to watch, you know. In that

1077
00:52:03,960 --> 00:52:06,840
Speaker 1: play he made in overtime to you know, catch the

1078
00:52:06,920 --> 00:52:10,120
Speaker 1: ball and you know, run around and spend fourteen times

1079
00:52:10,160 --> 00:52:11,960
Speaker 1: to get them down in field goal range was just

1080
00:52:12,040 --> 00:52:14,080
Speaker 1: a lot of fun to see. So it's gonna be

1081
00:52:14,120 --> 00:52:15,840
Speaker 1: a huge test for you know, those guys on the

1082
00:52:15,880 --> 00:52:18,359
Speaker 1: defensive side of the ball, one that I know they're

1083
00:52:18,400 --> 00:52:20,359
Speaker 1: looking forward to. They're gonna have to, you know, deal

1084
00:52:20,400 --> 00:52:22,960
Speaker 1: with a mobile quarterback that can make throws you know,

1085
00:52:23,239 --> 00:52:26,480
Speaker 1: just about from anywhere. So it's gonna be a challenge

1086
00:52:26,520 --> 00:52:27,919
Speaker 1: for those guys, and I'm sure it's one that they're

1087
00:52:27,960 --> 00:52:30,759
Speaker 1: looking forward to. Rebect to the point about the Bills

1088
00:52:30,800 --> 00:52:34,000
Speaker 1: and where they're at five games in still first third

1089
00:52:34,040 --> 00:52:35,800
Speaker 1: of the season. I don't know if you use the

1090
00:52:35,840 --> 00:52:37,840
Speaker 1: SoundBite on your show last night on Bills tonight, but

1091
00:52:37,920 --> 00:52:40,160
Speaker 1: Kyle Williams standing right there talking to me, made an

1092
00:52:40,200 --> 00:52:43,120
Speaker 1: interesting point about how he thinks, even five games in,

1093
00:52:44,000 --> 00:52:47,120
Speaker 1: this Bills team is still trying to find itself, you know,

1094
00:52:47,200 --> 00:52:49,360
Speaker 1: find out who they are. I think he's right about that,

1095
00:52:49,440 --> 00:52:52,200
Speaker 1: and I don't think there's necessarily anything wrong with that either.

1096
00:52:52,320 --> 00:52:54,480
Speaker 1: I think early in the season that's what you do.

1097
00:52:54,640 --> 00:52:56,839
Speaker 1: Right when you got a new coordinator and a lot

1098
00:52:56,920 --> 00:52:59,160
Speaker 1: of new players, especially on the offensive side of the ball,

1099
00:52:59,239 --> 00:53:01,600
Speaker 1: it takes time to established who you are, what your

1100
00:53:01,640 --> 00:53:03,879
Speaker 1: identity is, what you do well, I'm pretty sure that's

1101
00:53:03,920 --> 00:53:06,680
Speaker 1: where this team is right now. I would agree, you know,

1102
00:53:06,800 --> 00:53:10,239
Speaker 1: I think it takes time. You know, on offense, there's

1103
00:53:10,800 --> 00:53:14,120
Speaker 1: you know, eleven guys that are working to make sure

1104
00:53:14,160 --> 00:53:16,000
Speaker 1: that they're the best that they can be at whatever

1105
00:53:16,080 --> 00:53:18,560
Speaker 1: it is, whatever job it may be, from play to play,

1106
00:53:19,280 --> 00:53:21,480
Speaker 1: to get that done, and it takes time. It takes

1107
00:53:21,560 --> 00:53:24,440
Speaker 1: time for you know, a brand new offensive line, you

1108
00:53:24,480 --> 00:53:27,520
Speaker 1: know that it's been really bamped, a rookie quarterback, you know,

1109
00:53:27,600 --> 00:53:29,920
Speaker 1: a new receiving corps. You know, all those guys got

1110
00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:32,200
Speaker 1: to come in and get on the same page. And

1111
00:53:32,280 --> 00:53:33,600
Speaker 1: it takes a little bit of time to do that,

1112
00:53:33,760 --> 00:53:36,719
Speaker 1: especially uh in the season at the beginning of the season.

1113
00:53:36,800 --> 00:53:39,520
Speaker 1: It's good to do stuff in preseason OTAs and all that,

1114
00:53:40,200 --> 00:53:43,040
Speaker 1: but once it's it's actual, live you know, footage and

1115
00:53:43,120 --> 00:53:46,880
Speaker 1: you're out there competing against guys where it really means something. Uh,

1116
00:53:47,080 --> 00:53:49,040
Speaker 1: it takes a little bit of time for all those

1117
00:53:49,080 --> 00:53:50,880
Speaker 1: guys that start jelling and for you to figure out

1118
00:53:50,920 --> 00:53:53,320
Speaker 1: what it is that you really do well. And I

1119
00:53:53,360 --> 00:53:55,279
Speaker 1: think that's what those guys are searching for right now. Well,

1120
00:53:55,280 --> 00:53:56,879
Speaker 1: there's a couple of teams that are really doing well.

1121
00:53:56,960 --> 00:53:59,800
Speaker 1: The Rams in the Chiefs are the two last unbeaten teams.

1122
00:54:00,080 --> 00:54:04,719
Speaker 1: Chiefs took it to the tenant Jacksonville Jaguars yesterday. And

1123
00:54:04,840 --> 00:54:06,960
Speaker 1: I know how difficult it is to go into Arrowhead

1124
00:54:07,000 --> 00:54:09,680
Speaker 1: in Kansas City and play well, but the Jaguars really

1125
00:54:09,719 --> 00:54:12,279
Speaker 1: got their heads handed to him. Blake Bortles turned it

1126
00:54:12,400 --> 00:54:16,240
Speaker 1: over five times or four interceptions anyway, and the Chiefs

1127
00:54:16,360 --> 00:54:18,719
Speaker 1: really look to be rolling. But I want to remind you,

1128
00:54:18,920 --> 00:54:21,759
Speaker 1: Fred and see what your thoughts are about this. The

1129
00:54:21,880 --> 00:54:24,800
Speaker 1: Chiefs for six and old last year as well, and

1130
00:54:24,920 --> 00:54:27,560
Speaker 1: they seem to be off to another fast start. Yeah,

1131
00:54:27,920 --> 00:54:30,440
Speaker 1: I mean, that's it's what they do. They're they're a

1132
00:54:30,560 --> 00:54:33,200
Speaker 1: tremendous team. And when you got a quarterback like you know,

1133
00:54:33,600 --> 00:54:36,040
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes playing as well as it is, it makes

1134
00:54:36,080 --> 00:54:38,719
Speaker 1: it hard to be hard to beat those guys and

1135
00:54:38,880 --> 00:54:41,399
Speaker 1: everybody around him and stepping up from week to week

1136
00:54:41,480 --> 00:54:43,480
Speaker 1: making plays. I think Sammy had a big week this

1137
00:54:43,680 --> 00:54:46,560
Speaker 1: last week. So um in their defense, you know, their

1138
00:54:46,600 --> 00:54:50,880
Speaker 1: defense really got tired of him about their offense performing

1139
00:54:50,920 --> 00:54:54,640
Speaker 1: well and went out and wanted to showcase themselves. So uh,

1140
00:54:54,800 --> 00:54:57,600
Speaker 1: Andy Reid is a great coach, and he's always going

1141
00:54:57,680 --> 00:54:59,719
Speaker 1: to have his teams from year to year prepared to

1142
00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:03,800
Speaker 1: will and uh it's constantly showed, you know, especially with

1143
00:55:03,880 --> 00:55:06,160
Speaker 1: this Kansas City team. And I think you know what

1144
00:55:06,320 --> 00:55:09,520
Speaker 1: two three years ago, they won eleven games in a row, so, uh,

1145
00:55:09,600 --> 00:55:12,160
Speaker 1: they this isn't something that's out of the norm for them.

1146
00:55:12,680 --> 00:55:14,440
Speaker 1: It's something that you know, it's just a lot of

1147
00:55:14,480 --> 00:55:16,399
Speaker 1: fun to watch it back and watch what they're doing

1148
00:55:16,520 --> 00:55:18,480
Speaker 1: right now. And uh, it's going to be interesting to

1149
00:55:18,480 --> 00:55:20,960
Speaker 1: see if they can sustain this type of play, you know,

1150
00:55:21,040 --> 00:55:23,719
Speaker 1: through the rest of the season. Yeah, Steve Menshafred. They

1151
00:55:23,760 --> 00:55:25,960
Speaker 1: have not been able to in recent years anyway, They

1152
00:55:26,000 --> 00:55:29,520
Speaker 1: have not gone extremely deep into the postseason, and if

1153
00:55:29,600 --> 00:55:32,080
Speaker 1: they don't this year, even with the excitement about Mahomes,

1154
00:55:32,120 --> 00:55:33,680
Speaker 1: it will pretty much be more of the same for them,

1155
00:55:33,760 --> 00:55:36,520
Speaker 1: I would guess, right, yep. And you know, I was

1156
00:55:36,560 --> 00:55:39,880
Speaker 1: actually talking to a Chief fan about that yesterday. Uh,

1157
00:55:40,480 --> 00:55:42,440
Speaker 1: he said, you know, it's it's fun to see what

1158
00:55:42,560 --> 00:55:46,200
Speaker 1: they're doing now, but they've become accustomed to winning six

1159
00:55:46,320 --> 00:55:49,080
Speaker 1: seven games in a row during the season, and you know,

1160
00:55:49,160 --> 00:55:52,759
Speaker 1: putting up numbers and having you know, good stretches, but

1161
00:55:53,040 --> 00:55:55,240
Speaker 1: the most important stretches. Want to say, hit the playoffs.

1162
00:55:55,280 --> 00:55:56,919
Speaker 1: That's what they want to see, you know, if they're

1163
00:55:57,040 --> 00:55:59,120
Speaker 1: if they're this team is still playing like it is

1164
00:55:59,200 --> 00:56:02,279
Speaker 1: now when playoffs started, having a chance to get into

1165
00:56:02,640 --> 00:56:05,640
Speaker 1: you know that that late season and playing for a

1166
00:56:05,680 --> 00:56:09,719
Speaker 1: Super Bowl championship. With Fred Jackson, longtime Bill's running back,

1167
00:56:09,760 --> 00:56:12,479
Speaker 1: he is the co host of Bills Tonight eleven thirty

1168
00:56:12,560 --> 00:56:15,400
Speaker 1: on MSG postgame show that wraps up the Bills a

1169
00:56:15,760 --> 00:56:18,319
Speaker 1: game each Sunday. That's about the Green Bay Packers shut

1170
00:56:18,400 --> 00:56:21,040
Speaker 1: out the Bills a week ago, Fred, and yesterday their

1171
00:56:21,120 --> 00:56:23,920
Speaker 1: kicker let them down. I would imagine, I mean Aaron Rodgers,

1172
00:56:23,960 --> 00:56:26,000
Speaker 1: who was making noise even after they shut out the

1173
00:56:26,040 --> 00:56:28,839
Speaker 1: Bills last week about how the offense wasn't quite right.

1174
00:56:29,280 --> 00:56:31,320
Speaker 1: He's gonna be a little antie. I think after watching

1175
00:56:31,400 --> 00:56:34,360
Speaker 1: them lose that game against Detroit yesterday and knowing that

1176
00:56:34,880 --> 00:56:36,840
Speaker 1: an effective kicking game would have made a difference, in

1177
00:56:36,920 --> 00:56:40,160
Speaker 1: that one. So yeah, I mean, and especially a competitor

1178
00:56:40,239 --> 00:56:42,960
Speaker 1: like Aaron you know, he's he's always searching for what

1179
00:56:43,120 --> 00:56:46,239
Speaker 1: it is that that team can do better, and it

1180
00:56:46,440 --> 00:56:49,600
Speaker 1: includes special teams. You know, you have to be able

1181
00:56:49,640 --> 00:56:51,680
Speaker 1: to make those kicks and give yourself a chance to

1182
00:56:51,719 --> 00:56:54,960
Speaker 1: win that game. And you know, and he'll say, as

1183
00:56:54,960 --> 00:56:57,600
Speaker 1: an offensive unit, we can't get into the red zone

1184
00:56:57,880 --> 00:56:59,600
Speaker 1: or get close to the end zone and not put

1185
00:56:59,680 --> 00:57:02,000
Speaker 1: up you know, touchdowns. So he's going to be upset

1186
00:57:02,000 --> 00:57:04,440
Speaker 1: about that as well. Um, and I think that's what

1187
00:57:04,560 --> 00:57:06,360
Speaker 1: you have to do. You know, as a leader and

1188
00:57:06,840 --> 00:57:08,520
Speaker 1: a guy who's won a Super Bowl, he knows what

1189
00:57:08,600 --> 00:57:11,000
Speaker 1: it takes to get back there or takes to get

1190
00:57:11,080 --> 00:57:13,840
Speaker 1: there and to win it. So he's gonna ask for

1191
00:57:13,960 --> 00:57:16,640
Speaker 1: his guys to step their game up and when they had,

1192
00:57:16,720 --> 00:57:19,400
Speaker 1: when they have opportunities, come away with touchdowns instead of

1193
00:57:19,440 --> 00:57:22,560
Speaker 1: field goals and putting that, you know, all on the kicker. Well,

1194
00:57:22,880 --> 00:57:24,760
Speaker 1: you've been a former running back. I want to ask

1195
00:57:24,800 --> 00:57:26,360
Speaker 1: you about one of the guys in the league who's

1196
00:57:26,400 --> 00:57:28,640
Speaker 1: really started to elevate his game to the top of

1197
00:57:28,680 --> 00:57:30,760
Speaker 1: the league and has become an expected that he's a

1198
00:57:31,040 --> 00:57:34,240
Speaker 1: great player. Todd Gurley at three touchdowns yesterday helped the

1199
00:57:34,320 --> 00:57:37,360
Speaker 1: Rams stay unbeaten. They beat the Seahawks thirty three to

1200
00:57:37,520 --> 00:57:39,440
Speaker 1: thirty one and a little bit of a shootout. But

1201
00:57:39,600 --> 00:57:43,400
Speaker 1: Gurley is a running back gets three touchdowns. You know,

1202
00:57:43,920 --> 00:57:45,880
Speaker 1: he's just a lot of fun to watch right now.

1203
00:57:46,480 --> 00:57:48,600
Speaker 1: He's kind of, like you said, come into his own

1204
00:57:48,680 --> 00:57:53,240
Speaker 1: you know, offensive MP, MVP uh. He's just a weapon

1205
00:57:53,360 --> 00:57:55,880
Speaker 1: that it no matter what you do to try and

1206
00:57:55,960 --> 00:57:58,840
Speaker 1: stop him, he's always going to have some success. And

1207
00:58:00,040 --> 00:58:02,320
Speaker 1: like I said, from a running backstandpoint, there's nothing he

1208
00:58:02,400 --> 00:58:04,080
Speaker 1: can't do. He can't get out there and you know,

1209
00:58:04,320 --> 00:58:07,120
Speaker 1: catch balls out of the backfield. He's a tremendous you know,

1210
00:58:07,320 --> 00:58:10,080
Speaker 1: hard run, hard to bring down h and he's great

1211
00:58:10,120 --> 00:58:12,320
Speaker 1: and fast walking. So he's a guy you can leave

1212
00:58:12,360 --> 00:58:15,240
Speaker 1: out on the field in any situation and you don't

1213
00:58:15,280 --> 00:58:17,280
Speaker 1: have to be worried about him getting his job done.

1214
00:58:17,400 --> 00:58:20,080
Speaker 1: So a huge asset to have on offense, and you

1215
00:58:20,120 --> 00:58:22,520
Speaker 1: know he's making all those guys around them better and

1216
00:58:22,600 --> 00:58:26,640
Speaker 1: they're all you know that offenses is you know, pumping

1217
00:58:26,720 --> 00:58:29,439
Speaker 1: on all cylinders right now. And he's the main cog

1218
00:58:29,600 --> 00:58:31,520
Speaker 1: and the reason that they're winning the games that they

1219
00:58:31,560 --> 00:58:34,120
Speaker 1: are Fred. We're a third of the way into this season,

1220
00:58:34,360 --> 00:58:38,320
Speaker 1: and you know, the conventional wisdom is that teams begin

1221
00:58:38,360 --> 00:58:40,360
Speaker 1: to establish who they are right around this time. But

1222
00:58:40,400 --> 00:58:41,880
Speaker 1: I don't know who some of these teams are. I

1223
00:58:41,920 --> 00:58:43,960
Speaker 1: don't know who the Minnesota Vikings are. Right to lose

1224
00:58:44,000 --> 00:58:45,200
Speaker 1: to the Bills a couple of weeks ago, and then

1225
00:58:45,240 --> 00:58:47,240
Speaker 1: they go up and and and beat the Eagles the

1226
00:58:47,280 --> 00:58:50,000
Speaker 1: way they did yesterday and aligning that same line. I

1227
00:58:50,120 --> 00:58:51,960
Speaker 1: don't have no idea. I have no idea who the

1228
00:58:52,000 --> 00:58:54,320
Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles are the defending Super Bowl champs. What do

1229
00:58:54,400 --> 00:58:57,840
Speaker 1: you make of That's it's football, you know. It's one

1230
00:58:57,880 --> 00:59:00,320
Speaker 1: of those things where you know, when you think you know,

1231
00:59:00,560 --> 00:59:04,120
Speaker 1: you you don't know, and it's that's definitely what's happening

1232
00:59:04,280 --> 00:59:08,880
Speaker 1: right now. We were just talking about the Kansas City Chiefs.

1233
00:59:09,480 --> 00:59:13,400
Speaker 1: They look like they're unbeatable right now, but yet they've

1234
00:59:13,400 --> 00:59:15,560
Speaker 1: looked unbeatable in the past, and then they don't make

1235
00:59:15,600 --> 00:59:17,920
Speaker 1: it very far in the playoffs. So you just never know.

1236
00:59:18,200 --> 00:59:20,120
Speaker 1: And it's gonna be one of those things where it's

1237
00:59:20,160 --> 00:59:25,600
Speaker 1: week to week like it always is. It's any given

1238
00:59:25,680 --> 00:59:28,080
Speaker 1: Sunday in this league for a reason, because anybody can

1239
00:59:28,120 --> 00:59:31,160
Speaker 1: beat anybody. We saw Buffalo go into Minnesota and do

1240
00:59:31,240 --> 00:59:33,800
Speaker 1: what they did to the Vikings, and if they saw

1241
00:59:33,960 --> 00:59:35,840
Speaker 1: and if they play like that team that played against

1242
00:59:35,840 --> 00:59:38,800
Speaker 1: the Vikings, who can beat them? So, uh, it's gonna

1243
00:59:38,840 --> 00:59:41,000
Speaker 1: be fun to watch. I think, you know, it's gonna

1244
00:59:41,080 --> 00:59:44,240
Speaker 1: come down to Week sixteen before we really feel like

1245
00:59:44,360 --> 00:59:46,680
Speaker 1: we know who's got a legit chance of winning the

1246
00:59:46,720 --> 00:59:49,880
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. But that just makes football fun to watch,

1247
00:59:50,080 --> 00:59:51,880
Speaker 1: you know, it's a lot. It's great to have parody

1248
00:59:51,920 --> 00:59:53,800
Speaker 1: in the league, and I think we definitely have a

1249
00:59:53,840 --> 00:59:55,880
Speaker 1: lot of parody going on right now. Well, Fred, before

1250
00:59:55,920 --> 00:59:57,000
Speaker 1: we let you go, I want to ask you and

1251
00:59:57,040 --> 00:59:59,600
Speaker 1: circle back to the Bills game. The two running backs

1252
00:59:59,640 --> 01:00:02,880
Speaker 1: of the Bill, Leshaun McCoy and Chris Ivory, really played

1253
01:00:02,920 --> 01:00:06,040
Speaker 1: extremely well. They were the engine that ran the offense yesterday.

1254
01:00:06,480 --> 01:00:10,360
Speaker 1: Even in the final drive, they ran the ball eight

1255
01:00:10,480 --> 01:00:12,919
Speaker 1: times out of eleven plays and those two guys kept

1256
01:00:13,040 --> 01:00:16,880
Speaker 1: churning out yards. What do you think about Lashawn McCoy

1257
01:00:16,920 --> 01:00:20,520
Speaker 1: and Chris Ivory and their ability to virtually carry the

1258
01:00:20,640 --> 01:00:22,600
Speaker 1: offense on their back in the league where it's a

1259
01:00:22,680 --> 01:00:24,680
Speaker 1: throwing league and you got two running backs that are

1260
01:00:24,800 --> 01:00:28,120
Speaker 1: that are the main cog Yeah. I mean, it's it's

1261
01:00:28,840 --> 01:00:30,919
Speaker 1: like I said, from a running back, it's fun to watch,

1262
01:00:31,200 --> 01:00:34,480
Speaker 1: you know. It's it's great when you know you're two

1263
01:00:34,840 --> 01:00:37,720
Speaker 1: most valuable players play the same position and they're both

1264
01:00:37,800 --> 01:00:40,520
Speaker 1: feeding off of each other. I remember I was talking

1265
01:00:40,600 --> 01:00:42,880
Speaker 1: to Mike off Area yesterday and I was just talking

1266
01:00:42,880 --> 01:00:44,600
Speaker 1: about when it was you know, whether it was me

1267
01:00:44,680 --> 01:00:48,120
Speaker 1: and Marshaun or it was me and CJ. It's fun

1268
01:00:48,240 --> 01:00:50,680
Speaker 1: to say, Okay, look, I'm gonna go do this, and

1269
01:00:51,000 --> 01:00:53,680
Speaker 1: I need you to do this, or CJ. You do

1270
01:00:53,800 --> 01:00:55,600
Speaker 1: whatever you do. You go out there and you run

1271
01:00:55,680 --> 01:00:57,680
Speaker 1: circles around those guys and then I'm gonna come in

1272
01:00:57,800 --> 01:00:59,840
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna try and beat them up. So it's

1273
01:01:00,040 --> 01:01:02,240
Speaker 1: it's great to see those guys feeding off of each other,

1274
01:01:02,360 --> 01:01:04,920
Speaker 1: with Shady doing what he does and making people missing space,

1275
01:01:05,360 --> 01:01:07,400
Speaker 1: and um, you know, Chris going out there and just

1276
01:01:07,520 --> 01:01:11,080
Speaker 1: beating that crap out of everybody. So uh, it's it's

1277
01:01:11,240 --> 01:01:13,560
Speaker 1: fun to watch, you know. And I think if that's

1278
01:01:13,560 --> 01:01:15,920
Speaker 1: a recipe that they can lean on later in the season,

1279
01:01:16,360 --> 01:01:19,240
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna make it make this team, the Bills,

1280
01:01:19,360 --> 01:01:21,600
Speaker 1: you know, a team that's hard to beat down the road,

1281
01:01:21,760 --> 01:01:24,320
Speaker 1: the change up between those two and their different styles.

1282
01:01:24,680 --> 01:01:27,280
Speaker 1: I would think that would give defenses fits. Fred, you know,

1283
01:01:27,440 --> 01:01:31,200
Speaker 1: even even a good defense like Tennessee yesterday without a doubt.

1284
01:01:31,320 --> 01:01:34,080
Speaker 1: You know. You You you spend time chasing Shady around

1285
01:01:34,120 --> 01:01:35,760
Speaker 1: all game, and then all of a sudden, you come

1286
01:01:35,800 --> 01:01:38,560
Speaker 1: in and there's this hammered that's just running at you. Uh.

1287
01:01:38,960 --> 01:01:41,560
Speaker 1: It keeps you out balanced, you know, and uh, you

1288
01:01:41,680 --> 01:01:44,400
Speaker 1: get beat up by Chris Ivory for three straight plays

1289
01:01:44,440 --> 01:01:46,760
Speaker 1: and then they bring again Shady, who Uh you know

1290
01:01:46,880 --> 01:01:50,120
Speaker 1: you're you're still ling from being hit by Chris. It

1291
01:01:50,440 --> 01:01:53,320
Speaker 1: makes it harder to tackle Shady. So uh, it's a

1292
01:01:53,440 --> 01:01:55,880
Speaker 1: great combination for those guys, and it worked yesterday and

1293
01:01:55,920 --> 01:01:58,960
Speaker 1: hopefully they can continue to have the success that they had. Fred.

1294
01:01:59,080 --> 01:02:01,200
Speaker 1: Thanks safe trip home. We'll talk to you again next week.

1295
01:02:01,240 --> 01:02:03,760
Speaker 1: We appreciate it. Thank you, not a problem. I appreciate

1296
01:02:03,800 --> 01:02:06,800
Speaker 1: you guys. On Bill's former Bills running back Fred Jackson

1297

01:02:21,240 --> 01:02:24,240
Speaker 1: catch it on MSG a complete recap of every Bills

1303
01:02:24,280 --> 01:02:26,800
Speaker 1: game on Bills tonight. Fred joins us on Mondays to

1304
01:02:26,880 --> 01:02:29,600
Speaker 1: recap as well. I do think he's onto something there

1305
01:02:29,640 --> 01:02:34,440
Speaker 1: with that combination of running styles between Sean McCoy and

1306
01:02:34,560 --> 01:02:37,200
Speaker 1: Chris Ivory. Totally different, and he's right. You get hammered

1307
01:02:37,240 --> 01:02:38,680
Speaker 1: by Chris Ivory a couple of times, and all of

1308
01:02:38,720 --> 01:02:40,920
Speaker 1: a sudden you got to try to reach and stop

1309
01:02:41,000 --> 01:02:42,880
Speaker 1: and do something with Shady that'd be difficult. They ran

1310
01:02:42,960 --> 01:02:47,800
Speaker 1: the ball over forty times yesterday, and wow, yeah, I

1311
01:02:47,840 --> 01:02:50,640
Speaker 1: mean that having the lead, having the lead and being

1312
01:02:50,720 --> 01:02:52,880
Speaker 1: in the game allows them to do that when you're

1313
01:02:52,920 --> 01:02:54,720
Speaker 1: not behind and don't have to eat up a bunch

1314
01:02:54,760 --> 01:02:56,400
Speaker 1: of yards and get the ball in the ends, owner

1315
01:02:56,480 --> 01:02:58,800
Speaker 1: in the red zone quit in a short order. They

1316
01:02:58,840 --> 01:03:00,720
Speaker 1: were able to keep it involved. But I think the

1317
01:03:00,880 --> 01:03:03,880
Speaker 1: fact that they could they kept getting yards even in

1318
01:03:03,960 --> 01:03:06,880
Speaker 1: that final drive was amazing. To see him snap off

1319
01:03:07,320 --> 01:03:10,920
Speaker 1: an eight yard run, a four yard run, you know,

1320
01:03:11,880 --> 01:03:15,680
Speaker 1: even the three yard runs were all those positive plays

1321
01:03:15,760 --> 01:03:19,680
Speaker 1: were really really crucial in keeping that drive alive and

1322
01:03:19,720 --> 01:03:22,200
Speaker 1: giving the Bills a chance to get that last field

1323
01:03:22,240 --> 01:03:26,360
Speaker 1: goal to win it, and even though the Tennessee Titans

1324
01:03:26,480 --> 01:03:29,240
Speaker 1: knew they were coming, they couldn't stop them. And it

1325
01:03:29,280 --> 01:03:31,000
Speaker 1: speaks to the It speaks to the two of them,

1326
01:03:32,320 --> 01:03:34,400
Speaker 1: Chris Ivory and Lashawn McCoy, but also speaks to the

1327
01:03:34,520 --> 01:03:37,520
Speaker 1: offensive line and the running and the running game that

1328
01:03:37,600 --> 01:03:39,760
Speaker 1: they had in the scheme that they were using. They

1329
01:03:39,920 --> 01:03:44,040
Speaker 1: kept getting yards at a time when Tennessee had to

1330
01:03:44,120 --> 01:03:46,040
Speaker 1: know they were to run the football. I tell you

1331
01:03:46,120 --> 01:03:48,000
Speaker 1: what I saw watching a game over again this morning.

1332
01:03:48,320 --> 01:03:51,000
Speaker 1: A number of good blocks by vlad Dukas, who's been

1333
01:03:51,120 --> 01:03:55,240
Speaker 1: roundly criticized. Although the you know, the analytics guys a

1334
01:03:55,280 --> 01:03:57,480
Speaker 1: Pro Football Focus a couple of weeks in thought Ducoss

1335
01:03:57,600 --> 01:03:58,920
Speaker 1: was doing well too. I just thought he did a

1336
01:03:58,960 --> 01:04:01,160
Speaker 1: really good job up front, as did some of the others.

1337
01:04:01,200 --> 01:04:03,600
Speaker 1: I'm interested to see what those grades, not that they

1338
01:04:03,680 --> 01:04:05,840
Speaker 1: mean a whole lot. Eric Wood would tell you those

1339
01:04:05,880 --> 01:04:08,800
Speaker 1: grades on offensive lineman from Pro Football Focus mean nothing.

1340
01:04:09,240 --> 01:04:11,760
Speaker 1: He was adamant about that. But I do think if

1341
01:04:11,800 --> 01:04:13,760
Speaker 1: you watch closely, you'll see some really good work by

1342
01:04:13,800 --> 01:04:16,560
Speaker 1: the offensive line in yesterday's game. Hey, if you're watching

1343
01:04:16,640 --> 01:04:19,040
Speaker 1: on MSG today, we're gonna break away from MSG about

1344
01:04:19,080 --> 01:04:21,800
Speaker 1: five minutes from now because there's Savers Hockey coming up

1345
01:04:21,800 --> 01:04:24,440
Speaker 1: three o'clock today Vegas and Buffalo. We're gonna stay in

1346

1347
01:04:27,440 --> 01:04:29,280

1348
01:04:29,520 --> 01:04:31,760
Speaker 1: do it just a radio show. No, we're just gonna

1349
01:04:31,760 --> 01:04:35,080
Speaker 1: do you want you want to lay down? Right after

Speaker 1: three thirty in the morning, we had a whole flight delay.

1351
01:04:39,440 --> 01:04:41,400
Speaker 1: Nobody wants to hear your problems traveling. I want to

1352
01:04:41,440 --> 01:04:43,880
Speaker 1: hear your problems. I worry about a little three hour delay.

1353
01:04:44,440 --> 01:04:47,320
Speaker 1: You know. I was supposed to be homing about midnight

1354
01:04:47,400 --> 01:04:50,840
Speaker 1: or twelve thirty, which is outrageous, ended up being three thirty.

1355
01:04:51,680 --> 01:04:54,400
Speaker 1: Ye all right now, Yeah, I'll make it through. Yeah,

Speaker 1: on in that game. Yesterday the Bills win by a point.

1366
01:05:20,720 --> 01:05:22,800
Speaker 1: Would you rather have Josh Allen throw for eighty two

1367
01:05:22,880 --> 01:05:24,840
Speaker 1: yards and the Bills win it like they did yesterday?

1368
01:05:25,280 --> 01:05:27,400
Speaker 1: Or would you rather have Josh Ellen have a big

1369
01:05:27,520 --> 01:05:30,040
Speaker 1: game passing, you know, three hundred yards passing and maybe

1370
01:05:30,080 --> 01:05:31,640
Speaker 1: the Bills lose? What do you think we got time

1371
01:05:31,680 --> 01:05:34,280
Speaker 1: to discuss? Give us a call eight oh three fifty

1372
01:05:34,280 --> 01:05:38,080
Speaker 1: toll free one one eight eight eight five fifty two

1373
01:05:38,200 --> 01:05:39,960
Speaker 1: five fifty. Let me squeeze in the call before we

1374
01:05:40,000 --> 01:05:42,880
Speaker 1: read some tweets fell in Cheekawaga, Phil, what do you think?

1375
01:05:44,960 --> 01:05:46,760
Speaker 1: To tell you the truth? I think you played the

1376
01:05:46,840 --> 01:05:50,080
Speaker 1: game to win the game. Granted, we all love to

1377
01:05:50,200 --> 01:05:53,680
Speaker 1: see him have those fantastic numbers, and if that's the case,

1378
01:05:53,720 --> 01:05:56,360
Speaker 1: then let me start off by saying, let him get

1379
01:05:56,440 --> 01:05:59,680
Speaker 1: some receivers they can get open that he can thro through,

1380
01:06:00,360 --> 01:06:02,600
Speaker 1: because I don't feel as though they've been doing enough

1381
01:06:03,000 --> 01:06:05,920
Speaker 1: to help him out on that particular end. I agree,

1382
01:06:06,160 --> 01:06:08,400
Speaker 1: not likely to happen this season, though, Would you agree

1383
01:06:08,440 --> 01:06:12,120
Speaker 1: with that? Phil? Yes, I would. And that's where I think,

1384
01:06:12,640 --> 01:06:14,920
Speaker 1: you know, you caught between a rock and hired place.

1385
01:06:15,400 --> 01:06:18,320
Speaker 1: We want to see him developing everything, and there are

1386
01:06:18,400 --> 01:06:21,680
Speaker 1: times when when they do and take get open. I've

1387
01:06:21,720 --> 01:06:23,960
Speaker 1: seen him put the ball right on him and they

1388
01:06:24,520 --> 01:06:26,840
Speaker 1: can't touch him. Yeah, they got issues at wide receiver,

1389
01:06:27,240 --> 01:06:30,120
Speaker 1: including yesterday, Steve, you got some tweets to take a look. Yeah,

1390
01:06:30,120 --> 01:06:32,520
Speaker 1: and then this from R. J. Walker. Honestly, I'd rather

1391
01:06:32,600 --> 01:06:34,600
Speaker 1: have him. I'd rather him throw for three hundred and

1392
01:06:34,640 --> 01:06:37,280
Speaker 1: lose because they're gonna lose many games with this current

1393
01:06:37,400 --> 01:06:40,640
Speaker 1: style anyway. So but you miss the point. Yeah, they're

1394
01:06:40,720 --> 01:06:43,640
Speaker 1: playing the style because he's a rookie quarter, because they

1395
01:06:43,720 --> 01:06:46,880
Speaker 1: have deficiencies at wide receiver, and because pass protection has

1396
01:06:46,880 --> 01:06:49,720
Speaker 1: been an issue. This is nobody would argue that this

1397
01:06:49,880 --> 01:06:52,200
Speaker 1: is the style to win a championship, to throw for

1398
01:06:52,320 --> 01:06:54,080
Speaker 1: eighty two yards, and they went to the playoffs with

1399
01:06:54,160 --> 01:06:57,000
Speaker 1: this style last year. They threw a little bit more

1400
01:06:57,120 --> 01:06:59,160
Speaker 1: last year, and they did yesterday right where they have

1401
01:06:59,280 --> 01:07:02,960
Speaker 1: forty times attempts nineteen pass attempts yesterday. This is not

1402
01:07:03,080 --> 01:07:05,480
Speaker 1: the style they're gonna play next year. They'll be playing

1403
01:07:05,560 --> 01:07:08,680
Speaker 1: a different style. They're not gonna lose many games with

1404
01:07:08,760 --> 01:07:11,200
Speaker 1: this current style. This is not the formula for long

1405
01:07:11,320 --> 01:07:14,560
Speaker 1: term success. Nobody argues that, Steve. It's a it's not

1406
01:07:14,680 --> 01:07:19,720
Speaker 1: a running league. You're not gonna build your squad and

1407
01:07:20,200 --> 01:07:23,000
Speaker 1: have them play an offense and a game plan like

1408
01:07:23,160 --> 01:07:26,240
Speaker 1: they're playing at this year. When you're not in the

1409
01:07:26,360 --> 01:07:29,720
Speaker 1: rookie quarterback business, you're gonna have your guy throwing the

1410
01:07:29,760 --> 01:07:35,280
Speaker 1: football around. The two guys I saw yesterday, Ryan Tannehill

1411
01:07:35,360 --> 01:07:40,880
Speaker 1: and Andy Dalton, I mean, they're not elite quarterbacks. Josh

1412
01:07:40,920 --> 01:07:42,600
Speaker 1: Allen is more gifted than both of them. He's got

1413
01:07:42,680 --> 01:07:44,160
Speaker 1: a much better arm than both of them. He's a

1414
01:07:44,240 --> 01:07:47,080
Speaker 1: much better athlete than both of them. But they ran

1415
01:07:47,600 --> 01:07:51,400
Speaker 1: completely different offenses than the Buffalo Bills did yesterday. Uh,

1416
01:07:51,760 --> 01:07:55,720
Speaker 1: they've got they've got receivers, they've got a passing game,

1417
01:07:55,760 --> 01:07:58,200
Speaker 1: they've got weapons in place, and it's that team has

1418
01:07:58,240 --> 01:08:00,960
Speaker 1: been built around them. The Bills didn't know they were

1419
01:08:00,960 --> 01:08:03,000
Speaker 1: gonna have one of those guys to build around until

1420
01:08:03,040 --> 01:08:05,520
Speaker 1: they drafted Josh Allen this year. They didn't build around

1421
01:08:05,560 --> 01:08:07,920
Speaker 1: him because they had to spend all their money to

1422
01:08:07,960 --> 01:08:11,320
Speaker 1: get him, and all their cash, all their their resources,

1423
01:08:11,360 --> 01:08:13,080
Speaker 1: all their resources to get him then they built the

1424
01:08:13,160 --> 01:08:14,760
Speaker 1: other side of the football in the defense, and they

1425
01:08:14,840 --> 01:08:18,280
Speaker 1: and this team is building where they focus their attention.

1426
01:08:18,360 --> 01:08:21,519
Speaker 1: Their defense is playing great, and they got their quarterback

1427
01:08:21,840 --> 01:08:24,519
Speaker 1: for the future and they're watching him develop. Everything else

1428
01:08:24,640 --> 01:08:26,400
Speaker 1: was kind of like a throw in because that's all

1429
01:08:26,479 --> 01:08:29,519
Speaker 1: you know that you can't you don't have money for

1430
01:08:29,640 --> 01:08:33,240
Speaker 1: candy when he's when you've got rent to pay, you know.

1431
01:08:33,520 --> 01:08:36,479
Speaker 1: So like that's where they're at. That's where they're at,

1432
01:08:36,560 --> 01:08:40,120
Speaker 1: and that's and they played. They played the right recipe yesterday.

1433
01:08:40,400 --> 01:08:43,360
Speaker 1: They everybody crossed the roster did exactly what they were

1434
01:08:43,360 --> 01:08:45,639
Speaker 1: supposed to do. And yeah, you'd love to see Josh

1435
01:08:45,720 --> 01:08:47,320
Speaker 1: Allen played better than he did. You'd like to see

1436
01:08:47,360 --> 01:08:49,240
Speaker 1: him hit the short passes a little better than he did.

1437
01:08:49,880 --> 01:08:52,720
Speaker 1: But they got enough to win yesterday. And uh, and

1438
01:08:52,840 --> 01:08:55,320
Speaker 1: I think he I think you got to be happy.

1439
01:08:55,479 --> 01:08:57,200
Speaker 1: That is a Bills fan. You gotta be really happy

1440
01:08:57,240 --> 01:09:00,280
Speaker 1: with some people. Yeah, I mean, big passing game, get it,

1441
01:09:00,360 --> 01:09:02,120
Speaker 1: take a loss. I can't get it. But still I don't.

1442
01:09:02,240 --> 01:09:04,880
Speaker 1: I don't subscribe to that theory. You win when you can.

1443
01:09:05,000 --> 01:09:06,840
Speaker 1: You are who you are. And right now they don't

1444
01:09:06,880 --> 01:09:08,800
Speaker 1: have a strong passing game. So they're trying to win

1445
01:09:09,120 --> 01:09:11,559
Speaker 1: regardless of not having a stray. You're trying to win games. Yeah,

1446
01:09:11,600 --> 01:09:15,400
Speaker 1: I mean you can't. Yeah, you're trying to win games. Yeah,

1447
01:09:16,439 --> 01:09:20,240
Speaker 1: you're not tanking. No, it's not even that. You're trying

1448
01:09:20,280 --> 01:09:23,800
Speaker 1: to win every week. Everything and you put everything into

1449
01:09:23,840 --> 01:09:26,160
Speaker 1: your basket to build a roster this last offseason to

1450
01:09:26,200 --> 01:09:27,519
Speaker 1: do that. All right, we're gonna take a break and

1451
01:09:27,680 --> 01:09:30,000
Speaker 1: we are saying goodbye to the MSG audience. Back on

1452
01:09:30,080 --> 01:09:32,639

1464
01:10:19,280 --> 01:10:22,080
Speaker 1: had a thought on that touchdown run right. I watched

1465
01:10:22,160 --> 01:10:24,400
Speaker 1: him run. He got from the five yard line to

1466
01:10:24,479 --> 01:10:27,840
Speaker 1: the end zone so fast. It was all he did

1467
01:10:27,880 --> 01:10:31,000
Speaker 1: was jump forward and leap, you know, and dive forward.

1468
01:10:32,160 --> 01:10:34,080
Speaker 1: He was in the end zone like nothing. He went

1469
01:10:34,120 --> 01:10:36,519
Speaker 1: from the five to the zero in like a tenth

1470
01:10:36,560 --> 01:10:38,840
Speaker 1: of a second because he's so tall, and he just

1471
01:10:39,400 --> 01:10:41,200
Speaker 1: lunged down and put the ball out in front of him.

1472
01:10:42,400 --> 01:10:44,640
Speaker 1: I was like, Wow, that was fast. Yep. It's a

1473
01:10:44,720 --> 01:10:47,280
Speaker 1: really good athlete, Steve. And you saw it on the touchdown,

1474
01:10:47,320 --> 01:10:49,880
Speaker 1: the ten yard touching around run at Minnesota, on this

1475
01:10:50,000 --> 01:10:52,960
Speaker 1: fourteen yard or yesterday. He's tall, he's long, and he's

1476
01:10:53,120 --> 01:10:56,839
Speaker 1: very very athletic. I think he takes opponents by surprise

1477
01:10:56,920 --> 01:10:58,960
Speaker 1: sometimes with how well he runs, and I think he

1478
01:10:59,080 --> 01:11:00,840
Speaker 1: is I think it's happening with the winds. That ten

1479
01:11:00,960 --> 01:11:05,240
Speaker 1: yard run he made, he just outran the linebackerto the pylon.

1480
01:11:05,320 --> 01:11:08,080
Speaker 1: You could see the guy double take on that mint

1481
01:11:08,120 --> 01:11:10,200
Speaker 1: in the Minnesota game and this one when he stepped

1482
01:11:10,240 --> 01:11:12,280
Speaker 1: back inside the safety, I mean he planned and stuck

1483
01:11:12,360 --> 01:11:13,720
Speaker 1: his foot in the ground and made a cut like

1484
01:11:13,800 --> 01:11:17,000
Speaker 1: a running back and the safety is sliding out of control.

1485
01:11:18,520 --> 01:11:21,040
Speaker 1: You don't usually see that, right from a quarterback. And

1486
01:11:21,120 --> 01:11:23,080
Speaker 1: it's particularly a guy that's you know, six to five

1487
01:11:23,240 --> 01:11:27,040
Speaker 1: plus and thick, you know, as he got a ways

1488
01:11:27,080 --> 01:11:29,760
Speaker 1: to go, oh yeah, long way to go. Eighty two

1489
01:11:29,800 --> 01:11:31,920
Speaker 1: yards passing yesterday and the Bills came out with a

1490
01:11:31,960 --> 01:11:34,040
Speaker 1: one point win. That's kind of what we're talking about today.

1491
01:11:34,360 --> 01:11:36,799
Speaker 1: Where are you with Josh Allen? Are you in on development?

1492
01:11:37,000 --> 01:11:39,240
Speaker 1: Is eighty two yards passing with the win? Do it

1493
01:11:39,360 --> 01:11:41,040
Speaker 1: for you? Or would you rather see him throw it

1494
01:11:41,160 --> 01:11:43,680
Speaker 1: for box coun numbers and loves? Even if that's how

1495
01:11:43,720 --> 01:11:45,800
Speaker 1: it has to play out, I'm pretty adamant about to

1496
01:11:46,080 --> 01:11:48,160
Speaker 1: win it, right, win it. You'll learned by winning, by

1497
01:11:48,200 --> 01:11:49,840
Speaker 1: the way, you learn a lot of things by winning.

1498
01:11:50,040 --> 01:11:51,880
Speaker 1: You'll learn how to take a team downfield with four

1499
01:11:51,920 --> 01:11:54,080
Speaker 1: minutes and forty three seconds left on the clock and

1500
01:11:54,200 --> 01:11:56,479
Speaker 1: get into field goal range. I think that was the

1501
01:11:56,600 --> 01:11:59,320
Speaker 1: best thing that happened to Josh Allen yesterday, that game

1502
01:11:59,360 --> 01:12:02,080
Speaker 1: winning touchdown. Yeah, And that was the that was the

1503
01:12:02,360 --> 01:12:05,080
Speaker 1: positive coming out of that game, was the fact that

1504
01:12:05,120 --> 01:12:06,920
Speaker 1: they had to do it when they did it, when

1505
01:12:06,960 --> 01:12:09,200
Speaker 1: they had to do it to win that game. It

1506
01:12:09,320 --> 01:12:11,519
Speaker 1: was the first time they were trailing the entire day

1507
01:12:12,080 --> 01:12:13,800
Speaker 1: and they came back in the second half of the

1508
01:12:15,200 --> 01:12:18,559
Speaker 1: last four minutes and forty three seconds, they ran every

1509
01:12:18,640 --> 01:12:21,559
Speaker 1: bit of the clock off and had a walk off

1510
01:12:21,640 --> 01:12:27,240
Speaker 1: field goal. And really they dictated the entire drive, even

1511
01:12:27,360 --> 01:12:29,760
Speaker 1: down to running down the clock to picking the hash

1512
01:12:29,840 --> 01:12:32,000
Speaker 1: mark they wanted to be on grinding it out on

1513
01:12:32,040 --> 01:12:35,120
Speaker 1: the ground. Josh Allen didn't do too much, didn't have

1514
01:12:35,160 --> 01:12:36,640
Speaker 1: to do too much on that drive, but he did

1515
01:12:36,840 --> 01:12:38,920
Speaker 1: enough and they and they got to win. But I'm

1516
01:12:38,960 --> 01:12:41,880
Speaker 1: with you, Murph, I'm I'm about winning, and I think

1517
01:12:42,160 --> 01:12:45,200
Speaker 1: Josh Allen will learn a lot of lessons when he

1518
01:12:45,400 --> 01:12:48,040
Speaker 1: plays and going back and looking at this this game,

1519
01:12:49,680 --> 01:12:52,160
Speaker 1: looking at his reads, looking at where he threw the ball,

1520
01:12:52,240 --> 01:12:55,519
Speaker 1: where his throws ended up. I was saying before, you know,

1521
01:12:55,640 --> 01:12:58,960
Speaker 1: Kelvin Benjamins taking a lot of criticism around the Bill's

1522
01:12:59,000 --> 01:13:03,400
Speaker 1: fan base for you know, dropping balls and perceived lack

1523
01:13:03,479 --> 01:13:06,679
Speaker 1: of effort and all that. But Josh Allen was throwing

1524
01:13:06,720 --> 01:13:09,880
Speaker 1: the ball at his ankles all day yesterday, and I

1525
01:13:09,960 --> 01:13:12,000
Speaker 1: know it's frustrating for a receiver to be in that position.

1526
01:13:12,040 --> 01:13:15,960
Speaker 1: He had a couple of catches, but once again, you know,

1527
01:13:16,080 --> 01:13:18,760
Speaker 1: Kelvin Benjamin's working with a rookie quarterback as well, so

1528
01:13:19,600 --> 01:13:21,880
Speaker 1: he's probably doing the best he can. Yep, Hey, Steve

1529
01:13:21,960 --> 01:13:24,120
Speaker 1: and I I'm the radio now. The MSG portion of

01:14:10,240 --> 01:14:13,439
Speaker 1: m great to talk to you, guys for making Sunday

1548
01:14:13,520 --> 01:14:17,000
Speaker 1: play by play exciting for us out here. In Kansas City. Well, thanks,

1549
01:14:17,000 --> 01:14:19,240
Speaker 1: As the great Van Miller used to say, the play

1550
01:14:19,320 --> 01:14:22,720
Speaker 1: by play is always better when they win. Always his

1551
01:14:22,880 --> 01:14:26,519
Speaker 1: shoes very well A Murphson that thanks. So the status

1552
01:14:26,600 --> 01:14:29,200
Speaker 1: on on Derek Anderson, you know what'll be. I'm sorry

1553
01:14:29,240 --> 01:14:32,000
Speaker 1: if you've covered this already. Have they signed him yet?

1554
01:14:32,120 --> 01:14:34,040
Speaker 1: And if they have, what's the effect you think going

1555
01:14:34,080 --> 01:14:36,760
Speaker 1: to be for Josh and be a parallel do you

1556
01:14:36,840 --> 01:14:40,040
Speaker 1: think with the relationship Alex Smith and Mahomes had good question.

1557
01:14:40,080 --> 01:14:43,400
Speaker 1: We haven't talked about Derek Anderson yet. Chris Mortonson, Steve,

1558
01:14:43,439 --> 01:14:45,840
Speaker 1: you saw the report yesterday. Chris Mortonson says the Bills

1559
01:14:46,080 --> 01:14:50,320
Speaker 1: are planning on signing Derek Anderson this week, signing unidentified

1560
01:14:50,400 --> 01:14:53,400
Speaker 1: league sources. Thirty five years old, Anderson spent the last

1561
01:14:53,400 --> 01:14:57,559
Speaker 1: seven years in Carolina. Seven touchdowns five interceptions in twenty

1562
01:14:57,600 --> 01:14:59,920
Speaker 1: five games during his time in Carolina, so also play

1563
01:15:00,120 --> 01:15:02,040
Speaker 1: for the Browns and Cardinals over his twelve years in

1564
01:15:02,040 --> 01:15:05,560
Speaker 1: the NFL. Interesting question, Look, I look at it. I

1565
01:15:05,600 --> 01:15:08,240
Speaker 1: don't think they're gonna pull them if they signed Derek Anderson, which, no,

1566
01:15:08,400 --> 01:15:11,040
Speaker 1: it has not been a made official yet. Mortenson UC

1567
01:15:11,200 --> 01:15:13,720
Speaker 1: gets this right, so we'll see. I don't think they're

1568
01:15:13,720 --> 01:15:15,680
Speaker 1: gonna pull the plug on Josh Allen Steve, but I

1569
01:15:15,720 --> 01:15:17,599
Speaker 1: think they all have the option to do so, Which

1570
01:15:17,640 --> 01:15:21,240
Speaker 1: gets us to a preseason argument you and I had

1571
01:15:21,280 --> 01:15:24,120
Speaker 1: about if Josh Allen becomes the quarterback, can they ever

1572
01:15:24,840 --> 01:15:27,840
Speaker 1: back off that and let somebody else play? That might

1573
01:15:27,920 --> 01:15:31,120
Speaker 1: be reopened a little bit if Josh struggles in the future,

1574
01:15:31,280 --> 01:15:33,559
Speaker 1: if he struggles the way he did against Green Bay,

1575
01:15:33,680 --> 01:15:36,840
Speaker 1: I think something could happen there, at least temporarily. But

1576
01:15:37,400 --> 01:15:38,960
Speaker 1: now I'm down the road a little bit. First is

1577
01:15:39,280 --> 01:15:41,000
Speaker 1: I think Derek Anderson would be a good addition to

1578
01:15:41,120 --> 01:15:44,559
Speaker 1: this roster, right, a veteran back up at least initially,

1579
01:15:44,560 --> 01:15:47,000
Speaker 1: who could see things and help Josh Allen in the

1580
01:15:47,080 --> 01:15:49,160
Speaker 1: meeting room, on the practice fielding in games. Yeah, I

1581
01:15:49,200 --> 01:15:51,080
Speaker 1: don't think it says anything about Josh Allen. I think

1582
01:15:51,120 --> 01:15:56,519
Speaker 1: it says more about Nathan Peterman. But yeah, it would

1583
01:15:56,600 --> 01:15:58,479
Speaker 1: open the door a little bit more. But then again,

1584
01:15:58,800 --> 01:16:01,240
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a month before he's up to speed

1585
01:16:01,400 --> 01:16:03,920
Speaker 1: enough to have a playlist of ye you know that

1586
01:16:04,000 --> 01:16:08,439
Speaker 1: he could get into a game. Until that happens, you know,

1587
01:16:08,520 --> 01:16:12,440
Speaker 1: he's just another guy we'll see um. Certainly he's got experience.

1588
01:16:13,680 --> 01:16:16,479
Speaker 1: He is a veteran, He's gone through this exact same

1589
01:16:16,920 --> 01:16:22,439
Speaker 1: process with Cam Newton and Carolina him. They know him

1590
01:16:22,439 --> 01:16:24,559
Speaker 1: being in McDermott know him. They no kind of person

1591
01:16:24,640 --> 01:16:29,400
Speaker 1: he is, and they're looking to upgrade a portion of

1592
01:16:29,439 --> 01:16:33,400
Speaker 1: their roster, namely the backup quarterback. I don't know what

1593
01:16:33,520 --> 01:16:38,120
Speaker 1: it means, you know, as far as how short a

1594
01:16:38,240 --> 01:16:41,800
Speaker 1: leash Josh Allen would then have with Derek Anderson on

1595
01:16:41,880 --> 01:16:44,439
Speaker 1: the bench rather than Nathan Peterman, I don't know that

1596
01:16:44,479 --> 01:16:47,920
Speaker 1: that would affect it at all. Um, you might be right,

1597
01:16:47,960 --> 01:16:50,560
Speaker 1: I would say if he if Josh had continued to

1598
01:16:50,640 --> 01:16:53,479
Speaker 1: play like yesterday, the way he played at Green Bay,

1599
01:16:53,520 --> 01:16:55,200
Speaker 1: I think the lease would get a little the lease

1600
01:16:55,280 --> 01:16:57,800
Speaker 1: would get the leash would get a little bit shorter.

1601
01:16:58,000 --> 01:16:59,720
Speaker 1: And not that they're looking to pull him, They're looking

1602
01:16:59,760 --> 01:17:01,920
Speaker 1: to play. They're looking for him to get better. I

1603
01:17:02,000 --> 01:17:03,800
Speaker 1: think they're gonna kind of stick with it as much

1604
01:17:03,800 --> 01:17:06,200
Speaker 1: as they can. I think they are compelled to do

1605
01:17:06,320 --> 01:17:09,559
Speaker 1: that this week, after that game winning touchdown drive yesterday,

1606
01:17:09,600 --> 01:17:12,559
Speaker 1: and after some pretty decent play by Josh Allen yesterday,

1607
01:17:12,560 --> 01:17:15,120
Speaker 1: even though the numbers don't reflect that. So Um, I

1608
01:17:15,200 --> 01:17:18,000
Speaker 1: am reluctant to get into the length of the leash also, Steve.

1609
01:17:18,080 --> 01:17:21,120
Speaker 1: But I think I feel better if a veteran like

1610
01:17:21,360 --> 01:17:23,800
Speaker 1: Derek Anderson were here at least to know that he

1611
01:17:24,080 --> 01:17:27,479
Speaker 1: is in the background somewhere crazy. Yeah, no, of course not.

1612
01:17:27,640 --> 01:17:29,040
Speaker 1: That's that's the way got. I don't know what how

1613
01:17:29,080 --> 01:17:31,760
Speaker 1: did Josh Allen play against the Packers? What was his number?

1614
01:17:32,080 --> 01:17:34,160
Speaker 1: It was bad? I don't have it in front of me, right,

1615
01:17:34,160 --> 01:17:37,280
Speaker 1: it was. Yeah, it was kind of like it was yesterday?

1616
01:17:37,760 --> 01:17:40,160
Speaker 1: Or was it worse? A good, good question? Let me

1617
01:17:40,200 --> 01:17:43,320
Speaker 1: look at any they got shut out, but it was

1618
01:17:43,840 --> 01:17:46,720
Speaker 1: kind of the same, right, Yeah. We're not doing this

1619
01:17:46,840 --> 01:17:49,680
Speaker 1: just based on numbers, are we? No? Because this is

1620
01:17:49,720 --> 01:17:51,080
Speaker 1: where you and I got into an arm But I

1621
01:17:51,120 --> 01:17:55,160
Speaker 1: would like to know what you know, what are we

1622
01:17:55,240 --> 01:17:57,360
Speaker 1: talking about? What are we talking about? No, I know

1623
01:17:57,560 --> 01:18:00,479
Speaker 1: it's not just based on numbers, though, please tell me

1624
01:18:00,520 --> 01:18:02,599
Speaker 1: you're more than just of course not. But I'm just saying.

1625
01:18:02,680 --> 01:18:05,160
Speaker 1: I'm just saying it may be a feel thing and

1626
01:18:05,280 --> 01:18:08,240
Speaker 1: maybe something. I just don't think you pull him out.

1627
01:18:08,560 --> 01:18:13,080
Speaker 1: I think I wouldn't pull him out now, Yeah, I do.

1628
01:18:13,240 --> 01:18:15,360
Speaker 1: You make every effort to leave him in the game,

1629
01:18:15,400 --> 01:18:17,200
Speaker 1: and you get him through that game. And I think

1630
01:18:17,280 --> 01:18:19,760
Speaker 1: at this point he's got to feel more and more

1631
01:18:19,840 --> 01:18:22,519
Speaker 1: comfortable being in the game for four quarters when it's

1632
01:18:22,560 --> 01:18:24,280
Speaker 1: not going well. You're the Green Bay numbers for Josh

1633
01:18:24,680 --> 01:18:28,120
Speaker 1: Alan sixteen for thirty three, one hundred and fifty one yards,

1634
01:18:28,800 --> 01:18:32,120
Speaker 1: no touchdowns, two interceptions, yesterday ten of nineteen eighty two yards,

1635
01:18:32,640 --> 01:18:36,200
Speaker 1: no touchdowns, one interception. So if you're going by numbers,

1636
01:18:36,280 --> 01:18:39,479
Speaker 1: yesterday was worse. Yes, but that's not I don't look

1637
01:18:39,479 --> 01:18:42,280
Speaker 1: at the numbers. How was he playing? What did he

1638
01:18:42,360 --> 01:18:45,599
Speaker 1: do yesterday? Josh Ellen led his team in a fourth quarter,

1639
01:18:46,080 --> 01:18:49,320
Speaker 1: four minute scoring drive for the game winning field goal. Right,

1640
01:18:49,400 --> 01:18:51,200
Speaker 1: that means something. I think that means a lot. Actually,

1641
01:18:51,520 --> 01:18:53,800
Speaker 1: good question, though, Thanks for calling. Let's go to h

1642
01:18:54,560 --> 01:18:56,720
Speaker 1: rex in Tonawan to Hi Rex. Welcome, you're on the

1643
01:18:56,720 --> 01:19:02,120
Speaker 1: show with us Rex Hi, Yes, I'm here, Sorry, yep.

1644
01:19:02,520 --> 01:19:04,240
Speaker 1: I had a few points. First of all, a great

1645
01:19:04,280 --> 01:19:07,439
Speaker 1: call yesterday, Murph. I loved it on the touchdown and

1646
01:19:07,720 --> 01:19:13,559
Speaker 1: touchdown that was great. Secondly about Alan, Yes, numbers definitely

1647
01:19:13,600 --> 01:19:15,960
Speaker 1: not as good yesterday, but a thing or two I

1648
01:19:16,080 --> 01:19:19,240
Speaker 1: did like how when he's scrambling he decided to throw

1649
01:19:19,280 --> 01:19:21,360
Speaker 1: it away rather than force it. A few times I

1650
01:19:21,479 --> 01:19:24,000
Speaker 1: find that to be growth already progressed just from a

1651
01:19:24,040 --> 01:19:26,599
Speaker 1: couple of games where I feel like in the second game,

1652
01:19:27,080 --> 01:19:29,519
Speaker 1: you know, he threw an interception, you know, trying to

1653
01:19:29,600 --> 01:19:32,479
Speaker 1: do too much. So he's he's learning to not try

1654
01:19:32,520 --> 01:19:36,960
Speaker 1: and do too much. He's very He's still inaccurate, though,

1655
01:19:37,160 --> 01:19:39,519
Speaker 1: he's definitely gonna have to get better than what he's

1656
01:19:39,560 --> 01:19:42,479
Speaker 1: been with accuracy. But lastly, I also wanted to talk

1657
01:19:42,479 --> 01:19:46,439
Speaker 1: about Jerry Hughes. I believe on that stack, I thought

1658
01:19:46,640 --> 01:19:49,479
Speaker 1: that he thought that Mariota threw the ball and that's

1659
01:19:49,520 --> 01:19:52,160
Speaker 1: why he didn't follow through with the sack. Yeah, And

1660
01:19:52,240 --> 01:19:55,000
Speaker 1: I think I've been correct. I think he did address

1661
01:19:55,040 --> 01:19:56,759
Speaker 1: it with the meet and they said he was worried

1662
01:19:56,800 --> 01:19:59,080
Speaker 1: about a penalty. He didn't really think it. I mean,

1663
01:19:59,120 --> 01:20:01,920
Speaker 1: that's why he didn't put Mariotte on the ground. I

1664
01:20:01,960 --> 01:20:04,240
Speaker 1: don't know whether he spoke to the fact that he

1665
01:20:04,360 --> 01:20:06,640
Speaker 1: didn't want to finish the tackle because he thought the

1666
01:20:06,680 --> 01:20:09,640
Speaker 1: ball was gone or because he really thought he was

1667
01:20:09,720 --> 01:20:11,960
Speaker 1: gonna the whistle play was gonna be blown dead. I

1668
01:20:12,120 --> 01:20:13,760
Speaker 1: think he thought the ball was gone and he didn't

1669
01:20:13,760 --> 01:20:16,880
Speaker 1: want to finish follow through on the tackle with you. Yeah,

1670
01:20:16,960 --> 01:20:21,040
Speaker 1: but because I mean Yeah, I mean just that's just

1671
01:20:21,160 --> 01:20:23,320
Speaker 1: not something he would normally do. And I get this

1672
01:20:23,479 --> 01:20:27,400
Speaker 1: thing about the you know, the roughing the pass or

1673
01:20:27,439 --> 01:20:29,439
Speaker 1: being such a hot button these days. I just don't

1674
01:20:29,479 --> 01:20:31,320
Speaker 1: think that was the situation, is what it? You know,

1675
01:20:31,520 --> 01:20:34,000
Speaker 1: the only reason he let Mariott to go was because

1676
01:20:34,040 --> 01:20:36,120
Speaker 1: of the penalty. I thought he thought the ball that

1677
01:20:36,360 --> 01:20:40,000
Speaker 1: wasn't there anymore, and that's why I thought he let up. Yeah.

1678
01:20:40,360 --> 01:20:43,400
Speaker 1: Thanks thanks for your call, Rex to your earlier point

1679
01:20:43,880 --> 01:20:46,160
Speaker 1: on Josh Allen, and I agree with that It's not

1680
01:20:46,280 --> 01:20:48,200
Speaker 1: just about numbers. And I do want to mention this

1681
01:20:48,760 --> 01:20:51,400
Speaker 1: that was the coaching staff did Josh Allen. I think

1682
01:20:51,479 --> 01:20:54,400
Speaker 1: a big favor. Yes, that it was a different way

1683
01:20:54,479 --> 01:20:56,599
Speaker 1: to play offense, and they did the week before, in particular,

1684
01:20:56,920 --> 01:20:59,120
Speaker 1: moved him around more. I would say at least fifty

1685
01:20:59,200 --> 01:21:02,200
Speaker 1: percent of his throws Steve were outside the pocket. They

1686
01:21:02,320 --> 01:21:04,680
Speaker 1: rolled them out, they ran him on bootlegs, they got him.

1687
01:21:04,880 --> 01:21:07,000
Speaker 1: I think they probably cut down his reads, probably cut

1688
01:21:07,040 --> 01:21:08,519
Speaker 1: him right in half. You go to the run to

1689
01:21:08,560 --> 01:21:10,639
Speaker 1: the right and you only read this half of the field.

1690
01:21:10,640 --> 01:21:12,720
Speaker 1: And I think that was that worked out well for

1691
01:21:12,880 --> 01:21:14,639
Speaker 1: Josh Allen yesterday. I think he got a big boost

1692
01:21:14,640 --> 01:21:17,160
Speaker 1: from what the coaching staff did for him yesterday. Yeah numbers,

1693
01:21:17,560 --> 01:21:21,600
Speaker 1: you know who cares and and the Rex brought up

1694
01:21:21,640 --> 01:21:24,679
Speaker 1: a good point the caller. He did have a couple

1695
01:21:24,680 --> 01:21:27,320
Speaker 1: of pretty guy nice throwaways where he tossed it up

1696
01:21:27,320 --> 01:21:30,360
Speaker 1: into the into the stands, got rid of it instead

1697
01:21:30,400 --> 01:21:32,600
Speaker 1: of holding onto it, holding onto it just you know,

1698
01:21:33,160 --> 01:21:35,400
Speaker 1: get rid of it and um and put it into

1699
01:21:35,400 --> 01:21:39,759
Speaker 1: the stands and and do the next play. I do believe,

1700
01:21:39,880 --> 01:21:44,639
Speaker 1: like everybody, he's got to be more accurate on short throws,

1701
01:21:44,840 --> 01:21:47,280
Speaker 1: in particular those easy ones. I've got to be easy,

1702
01:21:47,560 --> 01:21:50,240
Speaker 1: and they've got to be in a spot where they've

1703
01:21:50,280 --> 01:21:54,360
Speaker 1: got a chance to become a big play. I think

1704
01:21:54,439 --> 01:21:57,320
Speaker 1: that's the thing that's missing from his short passing game.

1705
01:21:57,360 --> 01:21:59,000
Speaker 1: When you know, they got these guys trying to reach

1706
01:21:59,080 --> 01:22:02,479
Speaker 1: down low behind them and they can't don't have a

1707
01:22:02,600 --> 01:22:04,160
Speaker 1: chance to turn up the field and run. They have

1708
01:22:04,240 --> 01:22:05,920
Speaker 1: to they have to catch it and then kind of

1709
01:22:06,000 --> 01:22:08,360
Speaker 1: gain their balance again before they can turn up the field.

1710
01:22:08,360 --> 01:22:10,680
Speaker 1: And we all know that's just too late in the NFL, right,

1711
01:22:10,760 --> 01:22:12,799
Speaker 1: you gotta hit him in stride on those short passes,

1712
01:22:12,800 --> 01:22:15,200
Speaker 1: and when he did that, it was pretty effective. I

1713
01:22:15,360 --> 01:22:17,599
Speaker 1: thought the first play of the game for the Bills.

1714
01:22:17,760 --> 01:22:19,560
Speaker 1: First offensive play of the game for the Bills was

1715
01:22:19,960 --> 01:22:22,760
Speaker 1: interesting yesterday and indicative of what they were thinking. They

1716
01:22:22,880 --> 01:22:25,960
Speaker 1: loaded up. You know, they brought in the extra offensive lineman,

1717
01:22:26,600 --> 01:22:30,000
Speaker 1: the guy they just signed the other day. I'm gonna

1718
01:22:30,000 --> 01:22:31,960
Speaker 1: find his name here because it's important that they find

1719
01:22:32,040 --> 01:22:34,800
Speaker 1: his name. They loaded up on the offensive line. Oh

1720
01:22:34,840 --> 01:22:38,000
Speaker 1: they started him right, Yeah, he started Yeah. Searles, Jeremiah

1721
01:22:38,040 --> 01:22:40,320
Speaker 1: Searles loaded up, played him as the extra tight end.

1722
01:22:40,400 --> 01:22:42,720
Speaker 1: So now, if you're the Tennessee Titans, you're thinking, look

1723
01:22:42,760 --> 01:22:44,599
Speaker 1: at all this beef, look at all these extra people.

1724
01:22:44,640 --> 01:22:48,120
Speaker 1: They got one wide receiver and that's Kelvin Benjamin said

1725
01:22:48,160 --> 01:22:50,400
Speaker 1: out wide. And I think the Bills are saying, look,

1726
01:22:50,439 --> 01:22:53,519
Speaker 1: Tennessee's expecting us to run the ball, right, They've read

1727
01:22:53,520 --> 01:22:55,400
Speaker 1: all the clips. They know we didn't run well yesterday.

1728
01:22:55,439 --> 01:22:57,400
Speaker 1: They think we're gonna run the ball. Bills ran a

1729
01:22:57,439 --> 01:23:00,720
Speaker 1: flee flicker, handed it off to Shady, pitched it back

1730
01:23:00,800 --> 01:23:04,040
Speaker 1: to Josh Allen, who missed on the shrow to a

1731
01:23:04,120 --> 01:23:06,479
Speaker 1: Kelvin Benjamin. But I think it was indicative of the

1732
01:23:06,520 --> 01:23:08,280
Speaker 1: way they approached the game. I think with a little

1733
01:23:08,360 --> 01:23:12,320
Speaker 1: more what flair offensively like, hey, you think we're gonna run, Yeah,

1734
01:23:12,400 --> 01:23:14,559
Speaker 1: go ahead, stop the run because we're throwing deep here.

1735
01:23:14,600 --> 01:23:17,519
Speaker 1: Didn't hook up, And you're right, Steve. They have to eventually,

1736
01:23:17,600 --> 01:23:20,479
Speaker 1: whether it's a Alan and Foster or Alan and whomever,

1737
01:23:21,000 --> 01:23:23,599
Speaker 1: Kelvin Benjamin, they have to start connecting on the deep passes.

1738
01:23:23,720 --> 01:23:25,559
Speaker 1: Didn't yesterday. But I thought it was a very interesting

1739
01:23:25,640 --> 01:23:27,680
Speaker 1: way to start the game yesterday for the Bills at

1740
01:23:27,720 --> 01:23:30,680
Speaker 1: first to flee Flicker run first down. I agree. I

1741
01:23:30,760 --> 01:23:33,240
Speaker 1: think it's it's it makes a statement to your opponent

1742
01:23:33,320 --> 01:23:36,320
Speaker 1: and it also opens it up for them to say, okay,

1743
01:23:36,360 --> 01:23:39,160
Speaker 1: wait a minute now, they're they're gonna not hold back. Yeah,

1744
01:23:39,520 --> 01:23:42,240
Speaker 1: And in actuality, that's exactly what they did. I mean,

1745
01:23:42,320 --> 01:23:45,360
Speaker 1: they kind of came out with his huge fluff play

1746
01:23:45,439 --> 01:23:48,360
Speaker 1: at flee Flicker to think, wow, okay, we got to

1747
01:23:48,439 --> 01:23:51,200
Speaker 1: keep our heads about us on defense, and then they

1748
01:23:51,320 --> 01:23:57,280
Speaker 1: just proceeded to pound it. And it's the logic is obvious,

1749
01:23:57,680 --> 01:24:00,559
Speaker 1: and it worked. All right. We're Steve Tasker, John Murphy,

1750
01:24:00,600 --> 01:24:02,840
Speaker 1: We're coming to be alive from one Bill's Drive with

Speaker 1: I'm gonna give out three quick game balls right here.

1763
01:24:52,040 --> 01:24:54,080
Speaker 1: Where's I know? We have a coach on the staff.

1764
01:24:54,640 --> 01:24:57,200
Speaker 1: They used to coach the ten a few Titans, but

1765
01:24:57,280 --> 01:25:13,439
Speaker 1: now he's a Buffalo down field. Hey, listen, we got

1766
01:25:13,479 --> 01:25:15,599
Speaker 1: a teammate. You guys, have a teammate and went through

1767
01:25:15,680 --> 01:25:19,240
Speaker 1: a tough week, went through a tough week, flew down

1768
01:25:20,400 --> 01:25:24,840
Speaker 1: a day or two a goal to express his condolecence

1769
01:25:24,880 --> 01:25:28,240
Speaker 1: to his good friend, their family, all right, and he

1770
01:25:28,320 --> 01:25:30,240
Speaker 1: made it back on time to play the game with

1771
01:25:30,320 --> 01:25:47,160
Speaker 1: you guys. Shot Mark. Hey, we know it's a team win.

1772
01:25:47,360 --> 01:25:50,800
Speaker 1: It's a team game. It's a team game. I know

1773
01:25:50,920 --> 01:25:52,439
Speaker 1: we got one hell of a kicker in here. Come on,

1774
01:26:06,040 --> 01:26:08,160
Speaker 1: all right, you guys gotta believe. We all gotta believe

1775
01:26:09,040 --> 01:26:10,920
Speaker 1: his team is good. Yes, let's keep it off. Let's

1776
01:26:10,960 --> 01:26:14,679
Speaker 1: keep it up, all right, Bills on three, Stephen House,

1777
01:26:15,280 --> 01:26:18,000
Speaker 1: they break the huddle in the postgame locker room. Sean,

1778
01:26:18,520 --> 01:26:21,519
Speaker 1: you're laughing about how he's not a natural when it

1779
01:26:21,560 --> 01:26:23,960
Speaker 1: comes to postgame celebs. Is that what you're saying? He's

1780
01:26:23,960 --> 01:26:28,719
Speaker 1: a little stiff, little awkward, Hey, kicker. One thing. Shack's

1781
01:26:28,920 --> 01:26:30,640
Speaker 1: Shack Lawson got the game ball, as you heard, and

1782
01:26:30,720 --> 01:26:33,640
Speaker 1: McDermott say, I talked to Shack about I didn't realize this,

1783
01:26:33,760 --> 01:26:35,439
Speaker 1: but he had a very good friend. He described it

1784
01:26:35,560 --> 01:26:38,960
Speaker 1: to me as essentially a younger brother who passed away

1785
01:26:39,000 --> 01:26:41,280
Speaker 1: down South. Shack went down for a funeral for you

1786
01:26:41,360 --> 01:26:43,920
Speaker 1: know what they call second line, and left Friday after

1787
01:26:44,520 --> 01:26:47,360
Speaker 1: meetings or maybe after practice, and return here Saturday night.

1788
01:26:47,680 --> 01:26:49,479
Speaker 1: He said, he missed the Saturday night meetings, but he

1789
01:26:49,520 --> 01:26:51,519
Speaker 1: did it with the permission of the coaching staff, got

1790
01:26:51,560 --> 01:26:53,200
Speaker 1: back in town, reviewed what he had to do, went

1791
01:26:53,200 --> 01:26:54,800
Speaker 1: out and made a play right. He played pretty well

1792
01:26:54,840 --> 01:26:56,640
Speaker 1: and stripped the ball away. So that's why he got

1793
01:26:56,720 --> 01:26:58,519
Speaker 1: a game ball. I think they felt pretty good about him,

1794
01:26:58,560 --> 01:27:00,160
Speaker 1: and I want to ask you, how's go get it's

1795
01:27:00,160 --> 01:27:02,200
Speaker 1: a game ball for his kick. A lot of people

1796
01:27:02,240 --> 01:27:03,960
Speaker 1: talking about the one he did not get to kick,

1797
01:27:04,360 --> 01:27:08,320
Speaker 1: and that was the Corey bohrkez aboarded play field goal

1798
01:27:08,360 --> 01:27:10,320
Speaker 1: attempt looked like kind of it was gonna be a

1799
01:27:10,680 --> 01:27:13,760
Speaker 1: routine field goal. But Horkes jumps up um and then

1800
01:27:13,840 --> 01:27:15,439
Speaker 1: tries to go back down again and set the ball.

1801
01:27:15,479 --> 01:27:18,240
Speaker 1: It appeared Steve, it appeared and I called this. There

1802
01:27:18,320 --> 01:27:20,559
Speaker 1: was sway in the radio. It appeared that but horks

1803
01:27:20,600 --> 01:27:22,640
Speaker 1: and only but Horkes thought it was a fake. I

1804
01:27:22,760 --> 01:27:25,679
Speaker 1: was thinking about it overnight, and I'm wondering if a team,

1805
01:27:25,720 --> 01:27:27,680
Speaker 1: and you can speak of this special teams maybe that

1806
01:27:27,760 --> 01:27:30,120
Speaker 1: you are, do they go out on the field and say, hey,

1807
01:27:30,200 --> 01:27:32,320
Speaker 1: if we see this look, we're gonna run a fake.

1808
01:27:32,360 --> 01:27:34,200
Speaker 1: If we don't get that look, then we're just gonna

1809
01:27:34,240 --> 01:27:36,320
Speaker 1: kick the field goal. Could that be the source of

1810
01:27:36,360 --> 01:27:38,920
Speaker 1: the confusion there, And it could be that, or it

1811
01:27:39,000 --> 01:27:41,280
Speaker 1: could be the fact that they had talked about maybe

1812
01:27:41,320 --> 01:27:43,000
Speaker 1: this is a point where we could try a fake

1813
01:27:43,600 --> 01:27:45,960
Speaker 1: field goal and he didn't get the idea. He didn't

1814
01:27:46,000 --> 01:27:48,800
Speaker 1: get the message that they they fake was off. Yeah,

1815
01:27:48,800 --> 01:27:53,080
Speaker 1: it was off. Uh, no question, there was some he

1816
01:27:53,200 --> 01:27:55,360
Speaker 1: had some something to answer for when he got to

1817
01:27:55,439 --> 01:27:59,519
Speaker 1: the sideline. Yeah. But but yes, yeah, and and they

1818
01:27:59,640 --> 01:28:02,200
Speaker 1: they're not really probably gonna address it at all this week, saying,

1819
01:28:02,320 --> 01:28:03,960
Speaker 1: you know, because they didn't want to give away the

1820
01:28:04,040 --> 01:28:07,200
Speaker 1: fact that they have a fake fake field goal in

1821
01:28:07,320 --> 01:28:10,800
Speaker 1: their repertoire though everybody does, and they don't want it

1822
01:28:10,800 --> 01:28:12,560
Speaker 1: to come out and say, well, listen, we had this

1823
01:28:12,640 --> 01:28:14,880
Speaker 1: thing where if they did this, we were gonna run

1824
01:28:14,920 --> 01:28:16,800
Speaker 1: the fake, because then teams will go back and say, well,

1825
01:28:16,840 --> 01:28:18,720
Speaker 1: let's show him that look and get him to run

1826
01:28:18,760 --> 01:28:20,559
Speaker 1: a fake, because then we'll snap it off, we'll stem

1827
01:28:20,680 --> 01:28:22,760
Speaker 1: out of it and go into coverage and they won't

1828
01:28:22,760 --> 01:28:24,840
Speaker 1: be able to do it. To execute it, we'll bait

1829
01:28:24,920 --> 01:28:28,720
Speaker 1: them into running their fake against us. Yeah, So they

1830
01:28:28,760 --> 01:28:31,960
Speaker 1: won't do that either. So we may never know the

1831
01:28:32,000 --> 01:28:34,720
Speaker 1: full extent until long after this is over. Maybe at

1832
01:28:34,760 --> 01:28:36,120
Speaker 1: the end of the season we'll get a chance to

1833
01:28:36,520 --> 01:28:39,000
Speaker 1: hear about it, but for the time being, they won't

1834
01:28:39,280 --> 01:28:43,200
Speaker 1: let in any secrets, game plan secrets, or any you know,

1835
01:28:43,400 --> 01:28:47,760
Speaker 1: insight as to what Bjorkes was thinking. Obviously he wasn't

1836
01:28:47,800 --> 01:28:51,360
Speaker 1: thinking he almost turned it into an interception, But goodness gracious,

1837
01:28:51,400 --> 01:28:54,680
Speaker 1: that was you know any you think about what that

1838
01:28:54,840 --> 01:29:01,280
Speaker 1: meant in a game like this. Yeah, three points right there? Yeah, yeah.

1839
01:29:01,800 --> 01:29:04,719
Speaker 1: I wonder McDermott will probably be asked about it today.

1840
01:29:04,760 --> 01:29:06,880
Speaker 1: He's got a four oclock news conference today. I doubt

1841
01:29:07,160 --> 01:29:09,479
Speaker 1: that he will get deep into any explanations, but I

1842
01:29:09,640 --> 01:29:12,000
Speaker 1: was just thinking about that might be that might be

1843
01:29:12,120 --> 01:29:14,560
Speaker 1: one of the explanations. I don't know. Here's Matt and

1844
01:29:14,640 --> 01:29:17,479
Speaker 1: Kennandaguay in the air with us. I'm Att, you're on

1845
01:29:17,520 --> 01:29:22,280
Speaker 1: the air. Hey, what's up? John? Hi? If so? About

1846
01:29:22,320 --> 01:29:25,759
Speaker 1: the question he was had for today. M In reference

1847
01:29:25,840 --> 01:29:28,880
Speaker 1: to Josh Allen, I actually thought he played pretty decent.

1848
01:29:29,479 --> 01:29:34,040
Speaker 1: I think that our receiver play we need some improvement on.

1849
01:29:35,800 --> 01:29:37,720
Speaker 1: I liked that we got Zay Jones a little bit

1850
01:29:37,760 --> 01:29:40,520
Speaker 1: into the mix. But uh, I know, the one interception,

1851
01:29:40,720 --> 01:29:43,960
Speaker 1: Andre Holmes, in my opinion, should have probably worked his

1852
01:29:44,160 --> 01:29:49,040
Speaker 1: way back towards the ball, and I felt like even

1853
01:29:49,080 --> 01:29:52,000
Speaker 1: on that flee flicker, it kind of looked like Calvin

1854
01:29:52,080 --> 01:29:55,960
Speaker 1: Benjamin didn't I mean, I'm not saying he didn't give

1855
01:29:55,960 --> 01:29:58,040
Speaker 1: it his all, but he looked like he pulled up

1856
01:29:58,040 --> 01:30:01,600
Speaker 1: a little bit u that he didn't give a I

1857
01:30:01,680 --> 01:30:03,519
Speaker 1: don't know. I'm not saying I didn't give one hundred

1858
01:30:03,520 --> 01:30:06,160
Speaker 1: percent after I'm not trying to question that. But I

1859
01:30:06,360 --> 01:30:10,000
Speaker 1: really think that we need improvement on the wide receiver play.

1860
01:30:10,520 --> 01:30:12,840
Speaker 1: I think we actually have some of that that we

1861
01:30:12,920 --> 01:30:17,080
Speaker 1: don't need to go um bookouts outside a free agency.

1862
01:30:17,160 --> 01:30:19,840
Speaker 1: I think if we start getting Days Jones, confidence up,

1863
01:30:21,360 --> 01:30:24,560
Speaker 1: Ray Ray McLeod, those young guys, and maybe Tell and

1864
01:30:24,640 --> 01:30:28,479
Speaker 1: Benjamin and Holmes might feel some of the pressure. If

1865
01:30:28,520 --> 01:30:31,879
Speaker 1: these young guys start start really giving them some serious competition.

1866
01:30:32,040 --> 01:30:35,000
Speaker 1: I'll look to your thoughts. Thanks, guys. Well man, you're

1867
01:30:35,560 --> 01:30:37,280
Speaker 1: you know, obviously at Bill's fan. You've got a lot

1868
01:30:37,360 --> 01:30:39,400
Speaker 1: of positives going on about if you think, you know,

1869
01:30:39,560 --> 01:30:41,400
Speaker 1: I think Josh didn't play all that bad. I mean

1870
01:30:41,640 --> 01:30:44,040
Speaker 1: there's you know, I hear your argument, and a lot

1871
01:30:44,120 --> 01:30:47,880
Speaker 1: of people, either publicly or privately, think Josh is kind

1872
01:30:47,880 --> 01:30:50,000
Speaker 1: of working in a vacuum. They don't like the receiving corps.

1873
01:30:50,000 --> 01:30:52,519
Speaker 1: They don't think they're talented enough or experience enough to

1874
01:30:52,680 --> 01:30:55,320
Speaker 1: help a young quarterback out. And there may be maybe

1875
01:30:55,320 --> 01:30:59,200
Speaker 1: a little bit on occasion. That's true. Certainly, Andre Holmes Um, Yeah,

1876
01:30:59,320 --> 01:31:00,920
Speaker 1: I think Andrea Holmes had as much to do with

1877
01:31:01,000 --> 01:31:03,640
Speaker 1: that interception as Josh Allen did, not being able to

1878
01:31:03,760 --> 01:31:05,840
Speaker 1: work back down the stem to his of the route

1879
01:31:05,840 --> 01:31:09,679
Speaker 1: towards him. But there's also a lot of things Josh

1880
01:31:09,720 --> 01:31:12,240
Speaker 1: Allen can do better and should do better, and he

1881
01:31:12,280 --> 01:31:15,360
Speaker 1: could help his receivers out. I have always said it's

1882
01:31:15,400 --> 01:31:18,400
Speaker 1: the quarterback that makes the receivers, not vice versa. So

1883
01:31:18,479 --> 01:31:21,000
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna let Josh Allen off the hook for

1884
01:31:21,520 --> 01:31:26,120
Speaker 1: not being able to find these guys He's got he's

1885
01:31:26,160 --> 01:31:28,800
Speaker 1: got to cut the ball loose when it's time to

1886
01:31:28,840 --> 01:31:30,639
Speaker 1: cut the ball loose. He can't wait on these guys

1887
01:31:30,720 --> 01:31:32,760
Speaker 1: to start standing out there in the middle of an

1888
01:31:32,800 --> 01:31:34,880
Speaker 1: open field by themselves. He's got to put the ball

1889
01:31:35,360 --> 01:31:38,280
Speaker 1: in a small space. He's got to be more accurate,

1890
01:31:38,840 --> 01:31:42,760
Speaker 1: and while there may be room for improvement around him,

1891
01:31:43,280 --> 01:31:45,120
Speaker 1: he still has to take care of his business and

1892
01:31:45,200 --> 01:31:47,800
Speaker 1: play better. We have about thirty minutes left in the show.

1893
01:31:47,840 --> 01:31:50,400

1917
01:33:00,720 --> 01:33:04,320
Speaker 1: media at four o'clock this afternoon. Yesterday, the Houston Texans

1918
01:33:04,439 --> 01:33:07,920
Speaker 1: last night rather one in overtime over Dallas nineteen sixteen,

1919
01:33:08,840 --> 01:33:12,280
Speaker 1: Jason Garrett, Cowboys coach. Being questioned by his owner, Garrett

1920
01:33:12,320 --> 01:33:14,080
Speaker 1: said he hope to pend the Texans deep in their

1921
01:33:14,120 --> 01:33:16,760
Speaker 1: own territory. When you decided to punt on fourth and

1922

Speaker 1: one at the Texans forty two yard line and overtime

1923
01:33:19,520 --> 01:33:22,320
Speaker 1: last night, Cowboys owner and GM Jerry Jones says he

1924
01:33:22,400 --> 01:33:24,120
Speaker 1: thought his coach should have done the other thing. He said,

1925
01:33:24,120 --> 01:33:26,840
Speaker 1: we're being outplayed. It was time for risks. He says

1926
01:33:26,880 --> 01:33:29,600
Speaker 1: he was not second guessing his coach, although it may

1927
01:33:29,680 --> 01:33:31,840
Speaker 1: sound like that. The Texans win it last night. In

01:34:52,479 --> 01:34:55,680
Speaker 1: with a discussion about Josh Allen and what fans are

1957
01:34:55,760 --> 01:34:58,479
Speaker 1: looking for here expectations. I guess it's not a Twitter poll.

1958
01:34:58,560 --> 01:35:00,760
Speaker 1: It's just a simple question on Twitter. We'd like to

1959
01:35:00,760 --> 01:35:03,280
Speaker 1: get your input on this. Would you rather have Josh

1960

1961
01:35:06,040 --> 01:35:08,599
Speaker 1: which happened yesterday, or would you ever have Josh Allen

1962
01:35:08,640 --> 01:35:10,760
Speaker 1: throw for three hundred yards even if the Bills lose?

1963
01:35:11,280 --> 01:35:13,479
Speaker 1: Do you care to take a stand on this? You frowned,

1964
01:35:13,479 --> 01:35:16,040
Speaker 1: which means you don't like the question. I'm channeling Herman Edwards.

1965
01:35:17,400 --> 01:35:21,360
Speaker 1: You play to win the game? Yeah, you know. I

1966
01:35:22,320 --> 01:35:27,000
Speaker 1: understand that a lot of fans want to see Josh

1967
01:35:27,080 --> 01:35:29,639
Speaker 1: Allen's development be put at the top of the priority list.

1968
01:35:29,760 --> 01:35:32,960
Speaker 1: But this is not a one man team, you know

1969
01:35:33,120 --> 01:35:36,120
Speaker 1: you and as a head coach, your responsibility is to

1970
01:35:36,200 --> 01:35:40,519
Speaker 1: fifty three men, not one, and your responsibility to them

1971
01:35:40,800 --> 01:35:42,400
Speaker 1: is to put them in the best position to win

1972
01:35:42,479 --> 01:35:47,040
Speaker 1: football games, and the job none of the coaching staff

1973
01:35:47,080 --> 01:35:48,760
Speaker 1: on the offensive side of the ball is to try

1974
01:35:48,760 --> 01:35:51,680
Speaker 1: to bring Josh Allen along at the same time. I mean,

1975
01:35:51,800 --> 01:35:55,840
Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh Steelers in two thousand and four didn't say, well,

1976
01:35:55,880 --> 01:35:57,240
Speaker 1: we got to do whatever we have to do to

1977
01:35:57,320 --> 01:36:01,320
Speaker 1: make Ben Roethlisberger a better quarterback seventeen times. They threw

1978
01:36:01,320 --> 01:36:03,720
Speaker 1: the ball seventeen times, ran at forty five times, and

1979
01:36:03,800 --> 01:36:08,640
Speaker 1: played lights out defense and eventually Roethlisberger got it. So

1980
01:36:09,400 --> 01:36:13,840
Speaker 1: let's take the same tact here. Let me remember Josh

1981
01:36:13,960 --> 01:36:18,479
Speaker 1: Allen's development ultimately is all one hundred percent up to

1982
01:36:18,600 --> 01:36:21,479
Speaker 1: Josh Allen. It's not up to Sean McDermott. It's not

1983
01:36:21,560 --> 01:36:23,439
Speaker 1: all this coach it. They'll help him as much as

1984
01:36:23,479 --> 01:36:26,479
Speaker 1: they can, but ultimately it's the kid. He has to

1985
01:36:26,600 --> 01:36:28,880
Speaker 1: do it. And it's gonna be enhanced when you're in

1986
01:36:28,920 --> 01:36:31,479
Speaker 1: a one point game with five minute with four and

1987
01:36:31,520 --> 01:36:33,120
Speaker 1: a half minutes left and he's got to lead a

1988
01:36:33,200 --> 01:36:34,320
Speaker 1: drive at the end of the game. But I mean,

1989
01:36:34,400 --> 01:36:35,720
Speaker 1: he didn't have to have a big hand in it.

1990
01:36:35,800 --> 01:36:38,240
Speaker 1: But I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about the filo.

1991
01:36:38,840 --> 01:36:41,200
Speaker 1: You're trying to win games. They're here to win games

1992
01:36:41,680 --> 01:36:44,600
Speaker 1: and his development. You help him where you can, but

1993
01:36:44,720 --> 01:36:47,360
Speaker 1: he's got he's got to catch up, he's got work

1994
01:36:47,439 --> 01:36:50,560
Speaker 1: to do, and he's got And I think the motivation

1995
01:36:50,680 --> 01:36:52,960
Speaker 1: of knowing that you had a lot to do with

1996
01:36:53,360 --> 01:36:55,120
Speaker 1: it only being a one point game and you're only

1997
01:36:55,160 --> 01:36:58,040
Speaker 1: throwing for eighty five yards, you know, he's it's a

1998
01:36:58,280 --> 01:37:00,640
Speaker 1: high motivating factor. I think when he sits down and

1999
01:37:00,720 --> 01:37:02,400
Speaker 1: looks at himself, he's gonna say, you know, I gotta

2000
01:37:02,400 --> 01:37:05,040
Speaker 1: get better. And that's that's part of his development. You

2001
01:37:05,120 --> 01:37:07,640
Speaker 1: got him, I think I'll put the work in. I

2002
01:37:07,720 --> 01:37:10,120
Speaker 1: think leading your team down field with four forty three

2003
01:37:10,160 --> 01:37:13,320
Speaker 1: to play on a game winning field goal drive, that's development.

2004
01:37:13,560 --> 01:37:16,360
Speaker 1: He did that. He didn't have to throw his way down.

2005
01:37:16,439 --> 01:37:18,360
Speaker 1: He managed it. He managed it, did a pretty good

2006
01:37:18,439 --> 01:37:22,200
Speaker 1: job and maintained his composure and his poison clock awareness

2007
01:37:22,240 --> 01:37:24,280
Speaker 1: and everything that goes into a game winning drivel. And

2008
01:37:24,280 --> 01:37:26,280
Speaker 1: there's a lot to learn from that. And you don't

2009
01:37:26,360 --> 01:37:28,960
Speaker 1: have that if you're not winning football games or trying

2010
01:37:29,000 --> 01:37:31,080
Speaker 1: to win football games. Plus, I think too, if you

2011
01:37:31,200 --> 01:37:32,479
Speaker 1: if you go in there and you have him throw

2012
01:37:32,520 --> 01:37:36,080
Speaker 1: the ball, you know, thirty five times or forty times

2013
01:37:36,640 --> 01:37:40,880
Speaker 1: and he completes sixteen or eighteen of them and you lose.

2014
01:37:42,760 --> 01:37:45,519
Speaker 1: I think then it becomes a bigger issue of like, okay,

2015
01:37:45,640 --> 01:37:48,000
Speaker 1: now we're not giving our team a chance to win, right,

2016
01:37:48,040 --> 01:37:49,479
Speaker 1: And then you lose the locker room. This is not

2017
01:37:49,520 --> 01:37:51,080
Speaker 1: the way to win. You lose the locker room, or

2018
01:37:51,520 --> 01:37:55,760
Speaker 1: you're forced to set him down. You know. Even the

2019
01:37:55,840 --> 01:37:58,439
Speaker 1: bigger risk is it's it's all about the quarterback. And

2020
01:37:59,080 --> 01:38:01,479
Speaker 1: you know, if players fell that, sense that or believe that,

2021
01:38:01,560 --> 01:38:03,240
Speaker 1: and then you got a bigger problem because now you

2022
01:38:03,320 --> 01:38:05,120
Speaker 1: don't have fifty three guys laying it on the line

2023
01:38:05,120 --> 01:38:06,880
Speaker 1: every week, and now you're really not going to win

2024
01:38:06,920 --> 01:38:09,040
Speaker 1: football games ever, whether your quarterback is good or not right.

2025
01:38:09,280 --> 01:38:11,519
Speaker 1: And that's the big thing, and that's why football is

2026
01:38:11,520 --> 01:38:14,200
Speaker 1: a little bit of different animal than other pro sports,

2027
01:38:14,320 --> 01:38:16,640
Speaker 1: is that you've got guys literally laying it on the

2028
01:38:16,720 --> 01:38:21,639
Speaker 1: line physically to win. And if the organization coaching staff

2029
01:38:21,840 --> 01:38:25,160
Speaker 1: is doing something other than that, you got a big problem,

2030
01:38:25,320 --> 01:38:28,120
Speaker 1: a big problem. Chris Brown Bills inside our Buffalo Bills

2034
01:38:35,880 --> 01:38:37,640
Speaker 1: don't did I read this this morning. I was up

2035
01:38:37,760 --> 01:38:41,320
Speaker 1: very early. Somebody wrote somewhere that while the Bills coaches

2036
01:38:41,360 --> 01:38:43,200
Speaker 1: listened to the fans and decided to give the ball

2037
01:38:43,280 --> 01:38:46,000
Speaker 1: to LaShaun McCoy and listen to the fans, they had

2038
01:38:46,040 --> 01:38:47,400
Speaker 1: a chance to do it. I mean, they had a

2039
01:38:47,680 --> 01:38:50,519
Speaker 1: game that was competitive and a matchup that they liked.

2040
01:38:50,720 --> 01:38:52,880
Speaker 1: And I told you this this morning, Chris on our

2041
01:38:52,920 --> 01:38:56,160
Speaker 1: show Chris and I do Monday Morning Breakdown on Facebook

2042
01:38:56,200 --> 01:38:58,639
Speaker 1: and Twitter, ten am every Monday. After the game. I'd

2043
01:38:58,720 --> 01:39:01,360
Speaker 1: like that game yesterday, the physical nature of that game.

2044
01:39:01,560 --> 01:39:05,160
Speaker 1: I thought the Tennessee Titans almost matched the Bills. Intensity

2045
01:39:05,240 --> 01:39:09,160
Speaker 1: and physicality in that game yesterday. That was headbanging nineteen

2046
01:39:09,479 --> 01:39:12,439
Speaker 1: seventy five, nineteen eighty five NFL football yesterday, and I

2047
01:39:12,560 --> 01:39:15,040
Speaker 1: like it. I like to see it. Drell Casey was

2048
01:39:15,200 --> 01:39:23,080
Speaker 1: a handful oh yo down there was making plays. Yeah,

2049
01:39:23,320 --> 01:39:25,840
Speaker 1: he's making plays in the fourth quarter yesterday. I like

2050
01:39:26,000 --> 01:39:27,680
Speaker 1: that game. I like look, I wish they would have

2051
01:39:27,720 --> 01:39:30,720
Speaker 1: thrown it better, more effectively. But I thought for physicality,

2052
01:39:31,080 --> 01:39:34,280
Speaker 1: for teams determined to run the football, they both were.

2053
01:39:34,360 --> 01:39:35,840
Speaker 1: I thought it was a pretty good game to watch.

2054
01:39:36,000 --> 01:39:37,760
Speaker 1: And I'm going to bring up something that I think

2055
01:39:37,800 --> 01:39:41,439
Speaker 1: has gone relatively unnoticed from yesterday's game. The two fourth

2056
01:39:41,479 --> 01:39:44,280
Speaker 1: down decisions to go for it. There were three in all,

2057
01:39:44,840 --> 01:39:47,000
Speaker 1: but the hoorke has is a boarded play counted as

2058
01:39:47,080 --> 01:39:50,920
Speaker 1: one m So the two times they decide to go

2059
01:39:51,120 --> 01:39:54,320
Speaker 1: AfD on fourth down to keep the football, they were

2060
01:39:54,400 --> 01:39:57,320
Speaker 1: both short down and distance. But still that's a big decision.

2061
01:39:57,400 --> 01:39:59,360
Speaker 1: You're technically in the middle of the field, so you'd

2062
01:39:59,360 --> 01:40:02,640
Speaker 1: be given a short field to the opponent. But they

2063
01:40:02,800 --> 01:40:06,320
Speaker 1: get both of them, right, and you say, well, big deal,

2064
01:40:06,400 --> 01:40:09,639
Speaker 1: what does that mean? Go look at the time of possession.

2065
01:40:11,000 --> 01:40:13,360
Speaker 1: By going for those two fourth downs, they got an

2066
01:40:13,400 --> 01:40:16,760
Speaker 1: extra five and a half minutes time of possession, and

2067
01:40:16,880 --> 01:40:20,040
Speaker 1: in a one point game, that's pretty damn big. And

2068
01:40:20,240 --> 01:40:21,600
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, it's thirty four and

2069
01:40:21,600 --> 01:40:24,599
Speaker 1: a half minutes of possession to twenty seven or twenty

2070
01:40:24,640 --> 01:40:28,400
Speaker 1: six whatever it was. And I mean that's a big

2071
01:40:28,600 --> 01:40:31,840
Speaker 1: difference in the game. And also I love the fact

2072
01:40:31,880 --> 01:40:33,720
Speaker 1: that when they went for they didn't overthink it. It

2073
01:40:33,840 --> 01:40:36,720
Speaker 1: wasn't like this whip screen river as like, you know

2074
01:40:36,800 --> 01:40:40,080
Speaker 1: what they're depending off, I'm handing it off to Ivory

2075
01:40:40,560 --> 01:40:42,320
Speaker 1: and we're firing out and we're gonna get it. We're

2076
01:40:42,320 --> 01:40:43,800
Speaker 1: gonna get the half a yard, We're gonna get the

2077
01:40:44,040 --> 01:40:46,320
Speaker 1: yard and a half or the half a yard, and

2078
01:40:46,400 --> 01:40:48,920
Speaker 1: I only get it, And that I think only served

2079
01:40:49,000 --> 01:40:52,720
Speaker 1: as reinforcement to the offensive line. They really are going

2080
01:40:52,800 --> 01:40:55,120
Speaker 1: to write us today. We you know, we better, you know,

2081
01:40:55,200 --> 01:40:56,760
Speaker 1: cross our t's and dot our eyes and get the

2082
01:40:56,880 --> 01:40:59,360
Speaker 1: job done. Now, when the line of scrimmages the opponent's

2083
01:40:59,400 --> 01:41:02,320
Speaker 1: thirty eight and you're talking about a potential fifty six

2084
01:41:02,400 --> 01:41:04,479
Speaker 1: yard field goal attempt, it makes it a little bit

2085
01:41:04,520 --> 01:41:06,160
Speaker 1: easier to go for it right now, fourth and one,

2086
01:41:06,880 --> 01:41:11,800
Speaker 1: No yea with Haushke. I mean, I hear you. But

2087
01:41:11,880 --> 01:41:13,439
Speaker 1: then again, you know, if you get it, I just

2088
01:41:13,600 --> 01:41:15,400
Speaker 1: like it's at six points, you know, I mean, yeah,

2089
01:41:15,479 --> 01:41:17,880
Speaker 1: it's it's all. But I love the fact that they

2090
01:41:17,920 --> 01:41:19,800
Speaker 1: went for They did it early in the game, and

2091
01:41:19,920 --> 01:41:21,720
Speaker 1: they did it later in the game as well, and

2092
01:41:21,920 --> 01:41:24,400
Speaker 1: I think it says I think it says more that

2093
01:41:24,439 --> 01:41:25,800
Speaker 1: they did it earlier in the game. It's not like

2094
01:41:25,880 --> 01:41:27,880
Speaker 1: their backs were against the wall and they had to.

2095
01:41:28,560 --> 01:41:31,080
Speaker 1: I mean, there was a conscious decision there, and I

2096
01:41:31,200 --> 01:41:33,439
Speaker 1: thought that coach McDermot was sending a message by going

2097
01:41:33,479 --> 01:41:35,640
Speaker 1: forward on fourth down to his own team, to his

2098
01:41:35,720 --> 01:41:37,880
Speaker 1: own team, maybe even more than the opponent. How do

2099
01:41:37,960 --> 01:41:39,800
Speaker 1: you think they got confused on the fake field goal

2100
01:41:39,960 --> 01:41:43,559
Speaker 1: or not fake field goal? Or they started probably had

2101
01:41:43,560 --> 01:41:47,559
Speaker 1: a conversation and orch has just plays start with f Yeah,

2102
01:41:47,720 --> 01:41:51,479
Speaker 1: fake field goal. It was loud, I imagine. Well, I

2103
01:41:51,640 --> 01:41:53,720
Speaker 1: was thinking, though, I know it's on the I know

2104
01:41:53,800 --> 01:41:56,920
Speaker 1: what it's like on the sidelines. I know it like

2105
01:41:57,680 --> 01:41:59,559
Speaker 1: I know what it's like on the sidelines, and if

2106
01:41:59,560 --> 01:42:01,320
Speaker 1: they're saying and if they're getting down there, look they're

2107
01:42:01,360 --> 01:42:05,280
Speaker 1: on the they're on the eleven yard line, and nobody's moving.

2108
01:42:06,160 --> 01:42:08,840
Speaker 1: I mean nobody else is moving. Like it's not an

2109
01:42:08,960 --> 01:42:11,800
Speaker 1: end coming through for a shovel pass, there's not a

2110
01:42:12,200 --> 01:42:15,599
Speaker 1: tackle eligible releasing for a catch. I mean there's nobody

2111
01:42:15,680 --> 01:42:18,160
Speaker 1: else you're moving. I think you're missing one guy that Yeah,

2112
01:42:18,200 --> 01:42:20,880
Speaker 1: you're missing my point. I don't think they called the fake,

2113
01:42:21,280 --> 01:42:23,720
Speaker 1: but I think they had the side the conversation on

2114
01:42:23,800 --> 01:42:27,000
Speaker 1: the sideline about maybe this being a spot where they

2115
01:42:27,040 --> 01:42:31,400
Speaker 1: could do it, and by Orkes got his wires crossed. Yes,

2116
01:42:31,560 --> 01:42:33,679
Speaker 1: I think it's one guy that didn't get them memo.

2117
01:42:33,960 --> 01:42:35,920
Speaker 1: But I think there's something about the fact that they

2118
01:42:35,960 --> 01:42:38,720
Speaker 1: were there having that conversation, because I do think that's

2119
01:42:38,760 --> 01:42:41,600
Speaker 1: how it happened. But Orkez didn't make that up. No,

2120
01:42:42,000 --> 01:42:44,519
Speaker 1: he didn't just decide I'm gonna I'm gonna run this fake.

2121
01:42:44,760 --> 01:42:48,280
Speaker 1: He heard one thing and he's like, like, who wants

2122
01:42:48,320 --> 01:42:51,200
Speaker 1: to be a millionaire? You know? Is that your final decision?

2123
01:42:51,600 --> 01:42:54,599
Speaker 1: He missed the final decision, yes, which was field goal. Yes.

2124
01:42:54,800 --> 01:42:57,400
Speaker 1: Do you anticipate Sean McDermott will clear that up today

2125
01:42:57,439 --> 01:43:00,560
Speaker 1: at four o'clock. I do not. I don't think so. No, No,

2126
01:43:00,720 --> 01:43:03,519
Speaker 1: because he not because he he wants to expire things. Yeah,

2127
01:43:03,560 --> 01:43:05,720
Speaker 1: he doesn't want to telegraph people and say if we

2128
01:43:05,840 --> 01:43:08,120
Speaker 1: get this look, that's when we think about a field

2129
01:43:08,160 --> 01:43:10,080
Speaker 1: goal fake right, Yeah, because they're gonna go back and

2130
01:43:10,160 --> 01:43:12,479
Speaker 1: look at the look. Yeah. And the other special teams

2131
01:43:12,520 --> 01:43:15,559
Speaker 1: thing is that was one hundred percent of fair catch.

2132
01:43:15,640 --> 01:43:19,400
Speaker 1: Sake seeing one, Yep, I didn't see it one. It

2133
01:43:19,479 --> 01:43:21,640
Speaker 1: was very then the kick right, it was early. I

2134
01:43:21,680 --> 01:43:23,120
Speaker 1: want to say it was before the ball was even

2135
01:43:23,200 --> 01:43:26,560
Speaker 1: coming down, Like the ball is still ascending and he

2136
01:43:26,720 --> 01:43:28,560
Speaker 1: runs over to where he's got to field it, and

2137
01:43:28,640 --> 01:43:31,120
Speaker 1: he did one of these quick little because he doesn't

2138
01:43:31,120 --> 01:43:33,479
Speaker 1: show up on the replay. It was reminiscent. And I

2139
01:43:33,520 --> 01:43:36,439
Speaker 1: don't have the fair catch. I don't have enough to

2140
01:43:36,520 --> 01:43:40,040
Speaker 1: cause confusion. I don't have the L twenty two. We'll

2141
01:43:40,080 --> 01:43:43,800
Speaker 1: get until tomorrow. But the replay, um, you can't see it.

2142
01:43:43,880 --> 01:43:46,400
Speaker 1: And then it's wide. So he comes in and it's

2143
01:43:46,760 --> 01:43:48,720
Speaker 1: he never looked. He never does it after the ball

2144
01:43:49,200 --> 01:43:51,240
Speaker 1: is on his way down because he's in the PA waved.

2145
01:43:51,479 --> 01:43:53,080
Speaker 1: I mean, he definitely waved. I don't know if the

2146
01:43:53,120 --> 01:43:55,120
Speaker 1: hand ever got over his head, which is what it

2147
01:43:55,200 --> 01:43:56,519
Speaker 1: has to do, right, it has to be has to

2148
01:43:56,560 --> 01:43:58,040
Speaker 1: be over. I don't know if it got over his head.

2149
01:43:58,320 --> 01:44:01,000
Speaker 1: But if you're running down the field full, you know,

2150
01:44:01,280 --> 01:44:03,160
Speaker 1: you're tracking the ball. Then you look at the guy

2151
01:44:03,200 --> 01:44:06,120
Speaker 1: and you see him coming like this, maybe down, you're thinking, oh,

2152
01:44:06,200 --> 01:44:08,600
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm wondering if guys slowed down because of that,

2153
01:44:09,000 --> 01:44:10,680
Speaker 1: and that's and he gets a big return out of that.

2154
01:44:10,760 --> 01:44:14,400
Speaker 1: That's deceptive. That's very you know, I gotta if they

2155
01:44:14,520 --> 01:44:18,400
Speaker 1: saw him do that and it was a problem, then yeah,

2156
01:44:18,520 --> 01:44:20,280
Speaker 1: there's no question about it. But you know, on the

2157
01:44:20,320 --> 01:44:21,920
Speaker 1: replaying the stuff, I've seen it. You know it was.

2158
01:44:22,000 --> 01:44:23,479
Speaker 1: It was new and the first I'd heard about it

2159
01:44:23,560 --> 01:44:25,000
Speaker 1: when I sat down with Murf today and they started

2160
01:44:25,040 --> 01:44:26,519
Speaker 1: talking about it. I didn't even know it was a thing,

2161
01:44:27,360 --> 01:44:28,880
Speaker 1: and I thought it was here in the post game

2162
01:44:28,880 --> 01:44:31,280
Speaker 1: at all. Either. That was deception as far as I'm concerned.

2163
01:44:31,479 --> 01:44:33,320
Speaker 1: Chris Brown is with us Bill sit inside of Buffalo

2164
01:44:33,360 --> 01:44:35,200
Speaker 1: Bills dot Com as we come to you. We're gonna

2165
01:44:35,320 --> 01:44:38,800
Speaker 1: get a short segment here because at twenty five, after

2166
01:44:38,880 --> 01:44:42,080
Speaker 1: about eleven minutes from now, we say goodbye. Hockey's coming

2167
01:44:42,120 --> 01:44:45,000
Speaker 1: up at three o'clock on the radio side, Chris, before

2168
01:44:45,040 --> 01:44:46,920
Speaker 1: we get to some calls, one more question for you.

2169
01:44:47,200 --> 01:44:49,920
Speaker 1: I have about this game yesterday, and I think it's

2170
01:44:49,960 --> 01:44:53,160
Speaker 1: been unnoticed because we've done it too focused on Josh Allen.

2171
01:44:53,439 --> 01:44:54,960
Speaker 1: But it's now three and a half games with the

2172
01:44:55,000 --> 01:44:58,599
Speaker 1: Buffalo defense playing pretty solid. Mister top ten defense here,

2173
01:44:58,640 --> 01:45:02,200
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker goes the great pains to point out that

2174
01:45:02,280 --> 01:45:05,200
Speaker 1: the Bills are now six in the NFL and defense overall,

2175
01:45:05,240 --> 01:45:07,560
Speaker 1: they have played well and they're getting contributions from a

2176
01:45:07,560 --> 01:45:10,120
Speaker 1: lot of different people, including some of the young guys. Right,

2177
01:45:10,840 --> 01:45:13,800
Speaker 1: Rookie's a big factor again yesterday. You know, Tremaine Edmonds

2178
01:45:13,840 --> 01:45:16,519
Speaker 1: with the forest fumble, Tarren Johnson with the interception. These

2179
01:45:16,560 --> 01:45:19,559
Speaker 1: guys aren't just making plays, They're making game changing plays

2180
01:45:20,000 --> 01:45:22,559
Speaker 1: in the course of the ball game. So to see

2181
01:45:22,640 --> 01:45:26,240
Speaker 1: that from them is super, super encouraging. Because we're only

2182
01:45:26,320 --> 01:45:28,479
Speaker 1: out of the first month of the season here, yep.

2183
01:45:28,560 --> 01:45:32,320
Speaker 1: I mean usually mid season you see guys start making

2184
01:45:32,520 --> 01:45:35,519
Speaker 1: bigger strides where you notice them more, you know. But

2185
01:45:35,800 --> 01:45:38,679
Speaker 1: I mean Tremaine Edmonds has logged so many snaps. He's

2186
01:45:38,720 --> 01:45:41,360
Speaker 1: a super student of the game. Tarn Johnson is as

2187
01:45:41,400 --> 01:45:43,559
Speaker 1: serious as a heart attack when it comes to his job,

2188
01:45:45,040 --> 01:45:47,280
Speaker 1: you know. And I know we haven't seen Harrison the show.

2189
01:45:47,400 --> 01:45:49,840
Speaker 1: We haven't seen Harrison Phillips flash quite as much. But

2190
01:45:51,000 --> 01:45:53,120
Speaker 1: I think it's I think those two guys are going

2191
01:45:53,160 --> 01:45:55,120
Speaker 1: to be on this defense for a long long time.

2192
01:45:55,200 --> 01:45:58,280
Speaker 1: He'll say, have seven players, by my last count, first

2193
01:45:58,400 --> 01:46:02,120
Speaker 1: or second year players. Yeah, them making significant contributions on

2194
01:46:02,240 --> 01:46:05,880
Speaker 1: the defense, starters and backups. And Ryan lewis a guy

2195
01:46:05,960 --> 01:46:08,840
Speaker 1: they you know, claim off waivers. Um. You know, he

2196
01:46:08,920 --> 01:46:11,559
Speaker 1: starts yesterday, doesn't play as many snaps last week because

2197
01:46:11,680 --> 01:46:14,519
Speaker 1: this past Sunday, because Philip Gaines is getting healthier. Gaines

2198
01:46:14,520 --> 01:46:19,320
Speaker 1: actually played seventy percent of the snaps and Lewis only

2199
01:46:19,360 --> 01:46:23,320
Speaker 1: played thirty percent at that other cornerback spot opposite Tredevious.

2200
01:46:23,400 --> 01:46:26,599
Speaker 1: But I mean, he hasn't he hasn't made you worry

2201
01:46:26,640 --> 01:46:28,519
Speaker 1: about him out there, you know what I mean, Like,

2202
01:46:28,800 --> 01:46:30,360
Speaker 1: you don't put him out there going, well, we gotta

2203
01:46:30,360 --> 01:46:32,000
Speaker 1: put him out there. Let's just hope he doesn't screw

2204
01:46:32,040 --> 01:46:34,200
Speaker 1: it up. You don't feel that way when you put

2205
01:46:34,280 --> 01:46:36,120
Speaker 1: Ryan Lewis on the field. You don't feel like he's

2206
01:46:36,120 --> 01:46:38,400
Speaker 1: a liability out there. And this is a young guy

2207
01:46:38,439 --> 01:46:41,320
Speaker 1: that's he's been in this defense for three weeks and

2208
01:46:41,439 --> 01:46:44,320
Speaker 1: he's holding his own. So you know, it's it's encouraging

2209
01:46:44,439 --> 01:46:47,120
Speaker 1: to see a lot of these young players step on

2210
01:46:47,240 --> 01:46:50,680
Speaker 1: the field, play a role and play it competently. I mean,

2211
01:46:50,960 --> 01:46:53,360
Speaker 1: these guys aren't hitting home runs every time they're out there,

2212
01:46:53,400 --> 01:46:55,920
Speaker 1: but they're holding their own and that helps when you

2213
01:46:56,040 --> 01:46:58,280
Speaker 1: got six or seven other guys that you rely on

2214
01:46:58,400 --> 01:46:59,880
Speaker 1: to make the big play. I think it's even better

2215
01:47:00,040 --> 01:47:01,880
Speaker 1: than that. I don't think they are They hold their own,

2216
01:47:01,920 --> 01:47:05,280
Speaker 1: no question, but I think particularly a guy like Tremaine Edmonds,

2217
01:47:05,280 --> 01:47:07,920
Speaker 1: I'm not talking about him, he's getting better and better

2218
01:47:08,360 --> 01:47:11,960
Speaker 1: significantly better. He was early in the season. Man, he

2219
01:47:12,120 --> 01:47:14,400
Speaker 1: was running all over the place on play action fakes.

2220
01:47:14,840 --> 01:47:16,519
Speaker 1: You know, he's running up into the line screen. Now

2221
01:47:16,600 --> 01:47:19,759
Speaker 1: he's he's much more controlled, he's dropping into his coverage

2222
01:47:19,800 --> 01:47:21,920
Speaker 1: is in a much more timely manner. We saw him

2223
01:47:21,920 --> 01:47:24,439
Speaker 1: back the ball from Aaron Rodgers last week that turned

2224
01:47:24,439 --> 01:47:27,680
Speaker 1: into the interception. His length has becoming an issue, you know,

2225
01:47:28,080 --> 01:47:31,479
Speaker 1: is starting to show itself. You can see marked improvement.

2226
01:47:31,520 --> 01:47:33,880
Speaker 1: Of course, these young dbs that have been on the

2227
01:47:33,960 --> 01:47:37,560
Speaker 1: field because of the injuries, those guys have been a

2228
01:47:37,720 --> 01:47:41,760
Speaker 1: real pleasant surprise. Yeah. And you know, you had a

2229
01:47:41,840 --> 01:47:44,479
Speaker 1: guy off the practice squad yesterday who started at safety

2230
01:47:44,520 --> 01:47:49,200
Speaker 1: in first and yeah, he's twenty six. Fortunately for the Bills,

2231
01:47:49,240 --> 01:47:51,719
Speaker 1: he's been in this defense for over three years because

2232
01:47:51,760 --> 01:47:54,920
Speaker 1: he was with coach McDermott down in Carolina in twenty

2233
01:47:54,960 --> 01:47:57,600
Speaker 1: fifteen twenty sixteen, saw action in five games there, but

2234
01:47:57,680 --> 01:48:00,559
Speaker 1: never started before. And now he's getting and he've been

2235
01:48:00,600 --> 01:48:03,240
Speaker 1: on the practice squad for four weeks and it's like, hey,

2236
01:48:03,960 --> 01:48:06,360
Speaker 1: you're not only up this week, you're starting. Yeah, you know,

2237
01:48:06,880 --> 01:48:09,599
Speaker 1: and I didn't really see any big busts from him.

2238
01:48:09,680 --> 01:48:11,720
Speaker 1: There was one blown coverage and I couldn't figure out

2239
01:48:11,720 --> 01:48:13,559
Speaker 1: who it belonged to. But there was a tight end

2240
01:48:13,640 --> 01:48:16,240
Speaker 1: run in a post corner when Tennessee was going in

2241
01:48:16,840 --> 01:48:18,960
Speaker 1: and he was wide open for about four seconds and

2242
01:48:19,040 --> 01:48:21,800
Speaker 1: Marcus Mariota fortunately didn't see him, and Jordan Poyer did

2243
01:48:21,840 --> 01:48:24,680
Speaker 1: an over the shoulder look with the holy crap that

2244
01:48:24,960 --> 01:48:27,080
Speaker 1: I gotta get back there. This guy's wide open, and

2245
01:48:27,200 --> 01:48:28,960
Speaker 1: he was. I don't think it was him because he

2246
01:48:29,040 --> 01:48:32,240
Speaker 1: had the flat so he just retreated and got back

2247
01:48:32,280 --> 01:48:34,799
Speaker 1: there because he's walking around in the end zone like, hey, Marcus.

2248
01:48:35,920 --> 01:48:39,679
Speaker 1: Well there's also the fortunateorium. There's also the notorious TD

2249
01:48:39,880 --> 01:48:42,559
Speaker 1: dropped by Williams right in the corner of the end

2250
01:48:42,640 --> 01:48:45,439
Speaker 1: zone that you know that Mariota could not have dropped

2251
01:48:45,479 --> 01:48:48,160
Speaker 1: in there anybody right, That's a throw he made on

2252
01:48:48,200 --> 01:48:49,760
Speaker 1: the run too. He put it right on. It was

2253
01:48:49,800 --> 01:48:52,680
Speaker 1: a great good I mentioned Steve. I think we overlooked

2254
01:48:52,800 --> 01:48:56,120
Speaker 1: the contributions Jordan Poler makes this defense in terms of leadership.

2255
01:48:56,160 --> 01:48:58,200
Speaker 1: I can't tell you how many times I saw Marlow

2256
01:48:58,240 --> 01:49:00,639
Speaker 1: looking over to him right before the snap basically saying

2257
01:49:00,960 --> 01:49:03,040
Speaker 1: here here. I mean, I think Jordan Poyer is a

2258
01:49:03,160 --> 01:49:05,599
Speaker 1: really critical person on the back end of that defense, right,

2259
01:49:05,720 --> 01:49:07,400
Speaker 1: And I was It's funny because I was talking to

2260
01:49:07,520 --> 01:49:10,200
Speaker 1: Ryan Lewis late last week before the game, and I

2261
01:49:10,320 --> 01:49:12,760
Speaker 1: was kind of asking him how he's getting acclimated, and

2262
01:49:13,360 --> 01:49:15,000
Speaker 1: you know how much he feels, you know, is he

2263
01:49:15,160 --> 01:49:17,360
Speaker 1: just is? I wanted to feel. I wanted to get

2264
01:49:17,439 --> 01:49:21,080
Speaker 1: from him whether he's still at a point where just

2265
01:49:21,280 --> 01:49:23,639
Speaker 1: master the game plan, don't worry about the WHO playbook

2266
01:49:23,720 --> 01:49:26,040
Speaker 1: right now. Let's just get the game plan straight and

2267
01:49:26,200 --> 01:49:28,080
Speaker 1: go play on Sunday, because that's what a lot of

2268
01:49:28,160 --> 01:49:31,280
Speaker 1: guys that come in late oft and have to do.

2269
01:49:31,520 --> 01:49:34,360
Speaker 1: Just the coaches say, just worry about this this week. Yeah,

2270
01:49:34,400 --> 01:49:37,040
Speaker 1: you know, we'll get to the bigger playbook during the

2271
01:49:37,080 --> 01:49:40,040
Speaker 1: buy or whatever. And he said, no, no, he goes,

2272
01:49:40,080 --> 01:49:42,920
Speaker 1: I'm I'm looking at playbook also, you know, I'm looking

2273
01:49:42,960 --> 01:49:46,040
Speaker 1: at the whole volume, he said. You know, and if

2274
01:49:46,520 --> 01:49:48,840
Speaker 1: if I'm not one hundred percent sure, I know I

2275
01:49:48,880 --> 01:49:52,200
Speaker 1: can check with Jordan. And that's a small example. It's

2276
01:49:52,240 --> 01:49:56,800
Speaker 1: interesting too, Jordan and Micah Hyde as well. But those

2277
01:49:56,880 --> 01:49:59,439
Speaker 1: guys and Tradevious White to a certain extent, there under

2278
01:49:59,680 --> 01:50:01,680
Speaker 1: a this amount of pressure when they've got a guy

2279
01:50:01,760 --> 01:50:03,840
Speaker 1: where they've got to look after yeah, and they got

2280
01:50:03,920 --> 01:50:06,200
Speaker 1: to make sure that he and so not only had

2281
01:50:06,240 --> 01:50:08,760
Speaker 1: to do your job and disguise your job and do

2282
01:50:08,840 --> 01:50:12,160
Speaker 1: all the other things. It falls on all those guys

2283
01:50:12,240 --> 01:50:16,160
Speaker 1: to make sure their new guys is lined up. Plus,

2284
01:50:16,200 --> 01:50:18,360
Speaker 1: in a home game, it's a lot more difficult for

2285
01:50:18,439 --> 01:50:20,920
Speaker 1: a defense to communicate because it's loud, crowd noise, you know,

2286
01:50:21,000 --> 01:50:22,840
Speaker 1: and you're you got to get your hand signals down.

2287
01:50:22,920 --> 01:50:25,639
Speaker 1: And I mean Payer was gesticulating all over the place.

2288
01:50:25,680 --> 01:50:27,400
Speaker 1: I squeeze in a couple of calls while Chris Brown

2289
01:50:27,520 --> 01:50:29,519
Speaker 1: is with us here, Mike calling from Rochester, HI might

2290
01:50:29,600 --> 01:50:31,760
Speaker 1: go ahead, you're on the air, Hey, guys, thank for

2291
01:50:31,800 --> 01:50:34,760
Speaker 1: taking my call. I have two things. One, I thought

2292
01:50:34,800 --> 01:50:38,880
Speaker 1: the environment, the atmosphere yesterday was absolutely electric. I think

2293
01:50:38,920 --> 01:50:42,479
Speaker 1: it really it was a factor in the game, in

2294
01:50:42,560 --> 01:50:45,960
Speaker 1: the positive outcome. And speaking a positive I really want

2295
01:50:46,000 --> 01:50:50,360
Speaker 1: to think Lorenzo Alexander, because I run a program called

2296
01:50:50,439 --> 01:50:53,120
Speaker 1: Compure Core in Rochester, New York that we serve bets,

2297
01:50:54,200 --> 01:50:58,040
Speaker 1: and Lorenzo, you know, got a twelve field bets yesterday

2298
01:50:58,040 --> 01:50:59,560
Speaker 1: where we were able to enjoy the pre game on

2299
01:50:59,640 --> 01:51:02,040
Speaker 1: the field and then we were able to you know,

2300
01:51:02,240 --> 01:51:04,760
Speaker 1: enjoy the atmosphere yesterday. So I really just wanted to

2301
01:51:04,800 --> 01:51:06,840
Speaker 1: think Lorenzo since that all have any other way of thinking.

2302
01:51:06,880 --> 01:51:09,360
Speaker 1: I got he's on the show this Fridays, the two

2303
01:51:09,439 --> 01:51:12,080
Speaker 1: you can call that into And it seemed like really

2304
01:51:12,160 --> 01:51:14,120
Speaker 1: nice game day experience for everybody. I mean, none of

2305
01:51:14,160 --> 01:51:15,400
Speaker 1: it was a win, I know, but it was a

2306
01:51:15,600 --> 01:51:19,840
Speaker 1: competitive game. It wasn't high scoring, but it seemed like

2307
01:51:19,920 --> 01:51:21,799
Speaker 1: it was warm enough. I mean it wasn't like crazy

2308
01:51:21,920 --> 01:51:24,680
Speaker 1: cold or wet or anything like that, and the game was,

2309
01:51:25,040 --> 01:51:28,439
Speaker 1: you know, exciting the right team. One for that crowd

2310
01:51:29,040 --> 01:51:31,720
Speaker 1: is that did you get that feeling? Because he was

2311
01:51:31,800 --> 01:51:35,080
Speaker 1: saying it during the broadcast because it's electric in here. Yeah.

2312
01:51:35,120 --> 01:51:39,720
Speaker 1: When I was listening to split, did you isn't that

2313
01:51:39,800 --> 01:51:41,640
Speaker 1: what they say? Yes, that is what they say. I

2314
01:51:41,680 --> 01:51:43,640
Speaker 1: don't know if that's what you whoever they or what

2315
01:51:43,720 --> 01:51:46,439
Speaker 1: you should say. Somebody other than you says that I

2316
01:51:46,560 --> 01:51:50,160
Speaker 1: get banged on for using that language. But it seemed

2317
01:51:50,240 --> 01:51:52,960
Speaker 1: like the crowd really was into it. I mean they were.

2318
01:51:53,320 --> 01:51:55,160
Speaker 1: In fact, there was a couple of times when after

2319
01:51:55,240 --> 01:51:59,120
Speaker 1: Alan went in, yeah we got loud. He's ever heard

2320
01:51:59,160 --> 01:52:01,760
Speaker 1: the play? Yeah yeah, And there were several players saying,

2321
01:52:02,280 --> 01:52:04,840
Speaker 1: you know, it was something crowd helped. Crowd helped give

2322
01:52:04,880 --> 01:52:07,840
Speaker 1: us juice. Chris, what do we got here? Coming up

2323
01:52:07,880 --> 01:52:10,639
Speaker 1: this week? Micah Hyde have a chance to play in Texas?

2324
01:52:10,680 --> 01:52:13,400
Speaker 1: What do you think? I don't know. The only reason

2325
01:52:13,439 --> 01:52:15,920
Speaker 1: I say that is because a groin injury is so

2326
01:52:16,040 --> 01:52:20,360
Speaker 1: tough for a defensive back, because they're turning and dropping

2327
01:52:20,600 --> 01:52:23,960
Speaker 1: and they're using those muscles on every single play, with

2328
01:52:24,040 --> 01:52:25,640
Speaker 1: the exception of when they got to run up and

2329
01:52:25,680 --> 01:52:28,400
Speaker 1: get in run support. They're turning and you know what

2330
01:52:28,400 --> 01:52:31,040
Speaker 1: I mean, They're flipping their hips and turning every single play.

2331
01:52:31,080 --> 01:52:34,680
Speaker 1: You're using those groin muscles. And I mean the thing

2332
01:52:34,760 --> 01:52:37,760
Speaker 1: that bothers me is when you saw him go down.

2333
01:52:38,520 --> 01:52:40,920
Speaker 1: He went down right away at Green Bay, knew something

2334
01:52:41,080 --> 01:52:45,559
Speaker 1: was wrong, and he didn't practice at all last week.

2335
01:52:45,680 --> 01:52:47,759
Speaker 1: I mean, even what he was doing on the side

2336
01:52:47,880 --> 01:52:51,679
Speaker 1: with the strength and conditioning staff was pretty limited in scope.

2337
01:52:52,200 --> 01:52:54,360
Speaker 1: I mean, who knows. And you miss a game, you

2338
01:52:54,520 --> 01:52:57,160
Speaker 1: get some treatment for a week, you feel a lot better.

2339
01:52:57,960 --> 01:53:01,320
Speaker 1: You know, maybe maybe, but and you know with the

2340
01:53:01,400 --> 01:53:04,439
Speaker 1: shoulder too, I mean, that's a tough injury for a safety.

2341
01:53:04,720 --> 01:53:06,280
Speaker 1: You gotta come up and fill and run support. You

2342
01:53:06,320 --> 01:53:09,400
Speaker 1: gotta use that shoulder. So I think it's gonna be

2343
01:53:09,439 --> 01:53:11,360
Speaker 1: tough for both of those guys this week. Maybe maybe

2344
01:53:11,400 --> 01:53:13,360
Speaker 1: they get lucky and one of the guys is feeling

2345
01:53:13,439 --> 01:53:16,439
Speaker 1: great and can come back. But boy, I'm not counting

2346
01:53:16,439 --> 01:53:18,639
Speaker 1: any chickens right now. What's coming up on the website

2347
01:53:18,680 --> 01:53:21,040
Speaker 1: this afternoon? You carried the McDermot news conference live at

2348
01:53:21,040 --> 01:53:23,479
Speaker 1: four o'clock, right, so right we stream it live and

2349
01:53:23,560 --> 01:53:25,960
Speaker 1: then if for some reason people actually have a job

2350
01:53:26,000 --> 01:53:27,960
Speaker 1: and got to work, they can catch it later. We

2351
01:53:28,120 --> 01:53:31,120
Speaker 1: give a written synopsis of probably the top three things

2352
01:53:31,200 --> 01:53:33,479
Speaker 1: that they need to know from Coach mcdermot's press conference.

2353
01:53:33,520 --> 01:53:35,680
Speaker 1: We put that in quick hits, which is usually up

2354
01:53:35,720 --> 01:53:38,280
Speaker 1: no later than an hour after he talks, so by

2355
01:53:38,320 --> 01:53:40,360
Speaker 1: the time you're heading home, you know, from work, you

2356
01:53:40,439 --> 01:53:43,760
Speaker 1: can check that out. And then tomorrow we have our

2357
01:53:43,800 --> 01:53:46,400
Speaker 1: weekly stats column, and we're gonna take a look at

2358
01:53:47,479 --> 01:53:52,360
Speaker 1: some of the trends that are already developing for a

2359
01:53:52,479 --> 01:53:57,519
Speaker 1: Bill's winning formula. They're already pretty readily apparent, and I'm

2360
01:53:57,560 --> 01:53:59,200
Speaker 1: sure our fans could probably guess a couple of them.

2361
01:53:59,240 --> 01:54:01,960
Speaker 1: But there are a couple of men, well you know,

2362
01:54:02,439 --> 01:54:03,840
Speaker 1: but how you know, how would you how do you

2363
01:54:03,920 --> 01:54:05,280
Speaker 1: want to finish do you have where do you have

2364
01:54:05,360 --> 01:54:06,920
Speaker 1: to be at the end of the day, you know,

2365
01:54:06,960 --> 01:54:09,280
Speaker 1: do you have to be plus three plus two? That

2366
01:54:09,320 --> 01:54:11,240
Speaker 1: kind of stuff for Chris. Thanks for this, Yeah, you

2367
