1
00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:04,800
Speaker 1: Oh, a great time. I'll watch Steve Clasper into the

2
00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:15,320
Speaker 1: end zone. Bastown Buckstown Textown backs down. Let's double over

3
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:24,800
Speaker 1: time back after the bye, a one week break, and

4
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:27,880
Speaker 1: now a chance to reboot the season. The Bills are

5
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:30,560
Speaker 1: the tenth franked defense in the league, but they're looking

6
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:34,120
Speaker 1: for more, more points, fewer turnovers, fewer pre snap penalties.

7
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:36,440
Speaker 1: Lots of room for improvement, and a big chance to

8
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:39,800
Speaker 1: do it today against the NFL's worst defense. Fit center

9
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 1: center play action fake rolls right, fire short caught by

10
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 1: Parker DeVante Parker on the run inside the five, headed

11
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:48,320
Speaker 1: in the end zone, is in touchdown Miami. Oh. Larry

12
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 1: goes in motion left side the snap and fits his

13
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 1: brought down. He is nailed to the ground by Jordan Phillips.

14
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 1: Takes the Snapp gonna throw it, stands in the pocket,

15
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:01,280
Speaker 1: fires it towards the end zone. It is intercepted to

16
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 1: Navas White cups up with it at the one yard line.

17
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 1: Tray Day. Tray Day, Josh takes the snap, looks fire

18
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 1: straight down the middle that is caught, touchdown. Touchdown Buffalo

19
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 1: Soap John Brown touchdown. Bill quick pass comes out quickly

20
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 1: and is bumbled out around the twenty seven yard line,

21
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 1: tipped up by Jerry Hughes. Hughes runs who was right

22
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 1: still on his feet inside the twenty five, finally brought

23
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 1: down at the fifteen yard line of the stamp quick

24
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 1: pass lefts I caught, touchdown Paul Beasley not throwing his helmet.

25
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:36,839
Speaker 1: Now touchdown Buffalo. Paul Beasley was wide open, shot gun snap.

26
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 1: Jos's gonna keep it himself, headed into the end TI.

27
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 1: He is in two points for Buffalo. Then Jodge heats

28
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 1: it high the bubmost out of the stadium, way up

29
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 1: into the Hupper deck. Miitz Patrick takes the sap pressure,

30
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 1: gets away from it, runs left, looks Downfields, gonna keep

31
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 1: it and run with the ten at the five, and

32
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 1: he bounces his way into the end zone. Takes a

33
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 1: hard hit from Micah High, but he is in touchdown Miami.

34
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 1: So now it's a three point game with no time

35
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 1: outs left and only a minute forty five left, they

36
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 1: are forced to try an onside kick. Here here's the

37
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 1: blue kick off the short one and it is caught

38
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 1: by Micah Hide in the air and he's been a

39
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 1: running up down Micah Hide into the end zone. Touchdown.

40
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 1: Micah hide caught it in the air end into the

41
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 1: end zone for the touchdown. The game is over and

42
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 1: the Bills have win number five in the books. Thirty

43
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 1: one twenty one the final score. It was a battle,

44
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 1: but they did win it. They won by ten thirty

45
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 1: one twenty one the final. Good afternoon, and welcome everybody.

46
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 1: Welcome to our one Buffalo studio for another installment of

47
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:37,079
Speaker 1: One Bills Live. John Murphy, Steve Tasker, Eric Wood joins

48
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:39,239
Speaker 1: us for the first hour of this afternoon. Good afternoon, gentlemen.

49
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:41,639
Speaker 1: How are you. I'm doing good you I'm doing good

50
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 1: as well. Good, We're all set to go. We need

51
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 1: to talk to you. We got a good show here,

52
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,519
Speaker 1: starting with, of course, the events of yesterday. Steve, it

53
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 1: was it was, I guess more competitive than most people thought.

54
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 1: But it is the NFL. We talked about it all week.

55
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 1: You know, teams don't lie down in the NFL, and

56
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 1: a ten point win over the Dolphins may not be

57
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 1: enough to suit everybody's tastes. They got there as well,

58
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 1: but they gotta take it. They gotta take that win

59
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 1: with all the lessons learned, put it in the bank

60
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:06,519
Speaker 1: and move forward. Yeah, you gotta think two this was.

61
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:08,920
Speaker 1: I know, you watched a bunch of Miami games, Eric

62
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 1: leading up this as you'd do, and that's the best

63
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 1: I've seen in Miami play by far. Yea, they were.

64
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 1: They put together a real complete effort on both sides

65
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:19,800
Speaker 1: of the football and h and played well. And they

66
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:21,800
Speaker 1: gave a full effort too. I mean there was always Dad,

67
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:23,239
Speaker 1: you always get this feeling like if you can go

68
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:24,960
Speaker 1: out and jump up. All of the Bills went out

69
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 1: and went up six nothing, which is not that much.

70
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 1: I think maybe they'll start to let take their foot

71
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 1: off the gas. Not so the Dolphin Fits and those

72
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 1: Dolphins they came to play and it looked like it. Yeah,

73
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 1: you're not gonna get Fits to quit. Period. One of

74
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 1: the things I used to get on them about in

75
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 1: Buffalo is we'd be down three scores in the fourth

76
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 1: quarter and he'd go out and throw two interceptions and

77
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 1: ruin his you know, stat line, and not that stats

78
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 1: are that important, but I'm like, buddy, you can't score

79
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 1: twenty one points on one throw. Qu quit throwing these picks.

80
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 1: One I got hurt on an interception already. You know,

81
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 1: let's let's quit this, dude. But you were not going

82
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 1: to get any quit from fits and that rubs off

83
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 1: on the team on his teammates. So even if the

84
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 1: Bills were able to capitalize on their first two drives,

85
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 1: and let's say it was fourteen nothing and set of

86
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 1: six nothing, maybe the defense for the Dolphins lays down

87
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 1: them a little bit. Maybe some of the young guys,

88
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 1: you know, without true leadership on that defense. But that

89
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:18,280
Speaker 1: offense was gonna keep coming. They were gonna play hard

90
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:20,840
Speaker 1: for Ryan Fitzpatrick the whole day. And what he does

91
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 1: is he inspires confidence and a lot of guys. I

92
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 1: played on a team that started five and two, and

93
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 1: we didn't have hardly any of the guys, any guys

94
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 1: on the team that you could have named in the

95
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 1: national media scene, and then we started five and two

96
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:34,840
Speaker 1: that year, and a big reason for that was Ryan Fitzpatrick.

97
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 1: He got those receivers to be exactly where he wanted

98
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 1: them to be, and he put the ball on him.

99
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 1: And you saw it again yesterday where he is a

100
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 1: guy like Preston Williams, an undrafted free agent out of

101
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 1: Colorado State. Now it fitz is telling me at dinner

102
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 1: Friday night, Oh this is Brandon Marshall Junior and I'm like, yeah,

103
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 1: without the skills. He's an undrafted free agent rookie and said, no, no, no.

104
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:55,279
Speaker 1: He said, you know, he got in a little trouble

105
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 1: in college and that's why he fell. But he does

106
00:04:58,040 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 1: that the guys, he builds them up. A guy like

107
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 1: Davanta Parker who hasn't had a whole lot of success

108
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:04,720
Speaker 1: in his career after being drafted pretty early in the

109
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 1: first round. You know, he comes in and now now

110
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 1: fits is there and builds him up. And DeVante six

111
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 1: three and he's athletic and he's caught touchdowns down three

112
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 1: consecutive games. Eric, you hit on something I tried to.

113
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,679
Speaker 1: You articulated it much better than I did. This morning,

114
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 1: I was on with Howard Simon and I said, there

115
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 1: is an inspirational quality to Ryan Fitzpatrick's play that I

116
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 1: think is underrated. And we saw it yesterday. He's getting

117
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,280
Speaker 1: hammered by Micah Hyde right at the goal line. If

118
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 1: you're look the Dolphins, aren't they in talented? But you

119
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:32,839
Speaker 1: look around and say, that guy's been in the league

120
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 1: fifteen years. Look at the shots he's taken. Right. I

121
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,919
Speaker 1: gotta go out there and work hard, right And before

122
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 1: the game, I knew his scrambling ability would come into play,

123
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:42,480
Speaker 1: and we saw it a number of times. Yesterday. The

124
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 1: one touchdown he through he had to DeVante Parker was

125
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 1: on a design bootleg. He still has the mobility, which

126
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 1: is incredible to me. It's kind of like Steve. He

127
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 1: doesn't work out, but he stays in shape. Yeah, and uh,

128
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 1: but Ryan, I mean, he's not a you know, some

129
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 1: of these guys go see a quarterback coach in the

130
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 1: off season, they work out with the specific trainer. Like

131
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 1: he's being a dad to his seven kids, he's coaching

132
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:10,480
Speaker 1: sports teams. He literally showed me a video Friday night

133
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 1: of him jumping into his pool and throw one of

134
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 1: his little girls in the air, and he said, there's

135
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,840
Speaker 1: my summer workout, throwing my kids around in the pool.

136
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:19,920
Speaker 1: But for him, at thirty six years old, to be

137
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 1: running around and making plays like he is is phenomenal.

138
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 1: And to your point, Jon, when you're willing to put

139
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:27,039
Speaker 1: your body on the line like that for your teammates,

140
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 1: when you have absolutely know what you go at the

141
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 1: quarterback position and you're constantly building up those around you,

142
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:34,799
Speaker 1: people want to play hard for you. His leadership qualities

143
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 1: without I would imagine fits has read zero books on

144
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:41,839
Speaker 1: leadership throughout his life and just knowing how he's wired

145
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 1: as a person. You know, he thinks he probably thinks

146
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 1: I've read fifty he's read zero, and you know, and

147
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 1: we're about friends, that's why we get along. But he

148
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:56,040
Speaker 1: just has these innate qualities about him that it's infectious. Well,

149
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 1: you think the guy's thirty six, he's still playing football

150
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 1: in National Football League at a quarterback, maybe the most

151
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:04,280
Speaker 1: difficult position to play. You think, well, why, Well, the

152
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 1: fact of the matter is he's he doesn't have an

153
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:09,240
Speaker 1: elite arm he's not an elite athlete. He's you know,

154
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 1: he all that stuff that goes in there, and he

155
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 1: kind of is a gun slinger without all the weapons

156
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 1: to use. The guy is an elite leader. Yes, there's

157
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 1: no There's few quarterbacks in the league that elevate the

158
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 1: guys around them better than him. That's why he's still

159
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 1: play He's thirty six. You can we all have fun

160
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 1: with him anything. He throws six picks, he throws six touchdowns,

161
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 1: He's runs this roller coaster. But the guy's an elite leader.

162
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 1: That's why he's still playing in the National Football League.

163
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 1: That's why he's playing over a guy that was picked

164
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 1: in the top ten of last year's draft and got

165
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 1: the guy really basically benched, came in almost one last

166
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:44,240
Speaker 1: week and came into a team that's four and one,

167
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 1: riding high with one of the best, the top three

168
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 1: defenses in the league, and almost beats him. It's because

169
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 1: he's an elite leader. The guy really brings that to

170
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 1: the table. Forget about all his physical limitations and where

171
00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 1: he was drafted and is whatever whatever. You know, you

172
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 1: can list all the things, is inconsistencies, You can list

173
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 1: all that stuff easily. But that guy is top one

174
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 1: or two in the league at leading guys in elevating

175
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 1: and that's that's why you're still playing. You're absolutely right, Eric,

176
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 1: What is with us for the first hour of the show?

177

178
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,320

00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:38,679
Speaker 1: for the Bills, and we're ready to talk about that.

196
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:03,319
Speaker 1: Let's talk about the Buffalo quarterback a little bit. I

197
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:06,840
Speaker 1: think you know. I'm reluctant anyway, Eric to make sweeping

198
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:11,079
Speaker 1: conclusions about anybody sixteen seventeen starts into their career, But

199
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 1: it appears that Josh Allen may be a little bit

200
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 1: of a slow starter, but has the ability to make

201
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 1: plays when it counts the most. He's done it now

202
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 1: at least two or three times this season. You know,

203
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 1: I didn't play quarterback in this league, but early in

204
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:25,839
Speaker 1: my career at times I did start myself slow in

205
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 1: games because you're it's not routine playing against NFL talent

206
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:31,560
Speaker 1: week in and week out. Yet you know they can

207
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 1: give you some different looks early in a game that

208
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 1: you haven't seen before in your career. Early on, you

209
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 1: saw a couple pressures for the Dolphins, and they weren't

210
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 1: completely foreign looks. I had seen them run similar schemes

211
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 1: on film, but not exactly that, and they were able

212
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:47,280
Speaker 1: to get some pressure on him. I think one of

213
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:49,439
Speaker 1: the and I talked to Josh about this after the game.

214
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 1: One of the plays of the game is a very

215
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:53,679
Speaker 1: first passing through. That ball gets tipped straight up in

216
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:56,280
Speaker 1: the air, There's two Dolphins defenders waiting for the ball,

217
00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 1: and he jumps up and bats it down. That's one

218
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:00,560
Speaker 1: of the biggest plays of the entire day, because if

219
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 1: you throw an interception right there and give the Dolphins

220
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:06,079
Speaker 1: all that hope the ball your plus out of the field.

221
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:08,600
Speaker 1: You know, as an offense you throw a pick early

222
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 1: on some of that times that could be tough to

223
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 1: rebound from as an offensive coordinator. Shoot now, do we

224
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:15,079
Speaker 1: have to go to the ground game all this That

225
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 1: was a huge play to bout it down. But Josh

226
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 1: did get strong as the day went on. He had

227
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 1: one in completion in the second half and that was

228
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 1: on about a fifty yard pass that he overthrew. And

229
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:26,559
Speaker 1: j roberts On and a guy. You know, a lot's

230
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 1: been made of the lack of deep ball throwing and completions,

231
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 1: and I heard you talk about it this morning, John,

232
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:33,720
Speaker 1: those are low percentage plays. In the law of average,

233
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 1: it says those will come up as the season goes on.

234
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 1: The fact that we're five and one, we haven't completed

235
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 1: a deep ball yet this year. I absolutely love that

236
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 1: because they will come. But Andre Roberts's he's a guy

237
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:47,199
Speaker 1: that Josh Allen has not thrown that many deep balls too.

238
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 1: You know, next time he'll understand, Okay, well, maybe he

239
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 1: comes out of his route this way, maybe his post

240
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 1: goes to the goal post or to the other uprider.

241
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 1: You know, Steve, you could speak on that, you know,

242
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:01,440
Speaker 1: aiming point. They're so so many little nuances of throwing

243
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:04,080
Speaker 1: a deep ball and not just hey, put a little

244
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 1: more air under it, right, And that's exactly right. I

245
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:08,439
Speaker 1: mean you just get used to throw under the guy.

246
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 1: Eric touched down something to see that we've talked about

247
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:12,880
Speaker 1: on this show from the very first time I watched

248
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 1: Josh Allen practice with the Bills, not play, but practice.

249
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 1: Even his competitive fire I think stands out and you

250
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 1: see it again yesterday. Maybe that's why he seems to

251
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:23,439
Speaker 1: get better as the game goes along, because he's in

252
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 1: his head. He's like, now I gotta make a play,

253
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 1: and he does. I think he's an extreme, fierce competitor,

254
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 1: I really do. We've seen both and we should continue

255
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:31,839
Speaker 1: to see both ends of it, though, the ones where

256
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 1: he's trying to keep a play alive, keep a play alive.

257
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 1: There was one play where he took a six yard

258
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 1: sack where he had he dodged a corner, blitz stepped

259
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:43,440
Speaker 1: up through between two rushers, ran out to his right,

260
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 1: still looking down the field, and then finally, like the

261
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 1: fourth guy comes up and tackles him for a six

262
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 1: yard loss, and he just throw it away, you know,

263
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 1: And he just refuses to do it once in a

264
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 1: while because he thinks, I got time, I'm gonna do this.

265
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:58,240
Speaker 1: And so we see both sides of that competitive spirit

266
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:00,719
Speaker 1: and the competitive edge that has made him so good

267
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 1: at times and then gets in his way sometimes and

268
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 1: kind of as a detriment to being as efficient as

269
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 1: you can. And the reason that I say in efficient

270
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 1: is you just throw it away and he gains six yards.

271
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 1: Still third down, you still don't get the first down,

272
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 1: but you still got that six yards back that you

273
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 1: took the loss on. Just little things like that, little

274
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 1: places where you can gain a handful of yards, give

275
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:23,200
Speaker 1: yourself a better chance, the play selections a little easier,

276
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 1: you get a better chance on third down to stay

277
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:28,319
Speaker 1: on the field. All those it just comes into it.

278
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 1: But you know, as long as he keeps trying to

279
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:33,559
Speaker 1: gun it in and we've seen those ugly interceptions he

280
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 1: throws where he deep down, looping ball over the middle,

281
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:39,560
Speaker 1: where he throws into a team meeting, you know, yeah,

282
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 1: it's you see both ends of it. But when the

283
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 1: chips are down, he doesn't seem to make the mistakes

284
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:47,760
Speaker 1: he does early in the game. No, And I think

285
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 1: as his career goes on and is he gets more

286
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 1: experienced those the bad mistakes that we've seen will reduce.

287
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:57,599
Speaker 1: But I love the fact that he takes chances. I

288
00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:00,720
Speaker 1: want him to take chances to learn to grow because

289
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:03,080
Speaker 1: I played with conservative quarterbacks and I watched them get

290
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:05,560
Speaker 1: booed out of the stadium, you know, worse than they

291
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 1: were booing yesterday when we were going into the half down.

292
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 1: And so I want Josh to be aggressive. You have

293
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 1: to make plays down the field, you have to try

294
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 1: and throw it in tight windows to win football games

295
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 1: in this league. And I like the fact that he's

296
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:21,839
Speaker 1: trying them, that he's continuing to grow in a lot

297
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 1: of his big mistakes have come when he makes a

298
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 1: couple of guys miss and he's trying to make that

299
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 1: absolutely hero play. But that's what makes Josh Allen so

300
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:32,840
Speaker 1: good is how competitive he is. To your points, Steve

301
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:34,680
Speaker 1: heard me say this over the last couple of weeks

302
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 1: before Sunday's game, how and it was just a tiny

303
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 1: it's not a fault, but part of me watching the

304
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:42,800
Speaker 1: Tennessee game thought, come on, Josh, that's not you take

305
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 1: a chance, you know. And I saw it in Tennessee

306
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 1: and that he didn't take the chance. And he had

307
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 1: a successful obviously a win and a successful performance. But

308
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 1: you don't want to take that out of him. You

309
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 1: don't want that competitive fire out of Josh Allen, I

310
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:55,760
Speaker 1: don't think right right, And I think a little bit

311
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 1: of this game goes to the mantra we have here, Nary,

312
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:01,960
Speaker 1: it's a week to week league. We have a mantra

313
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:05,679
Speaker 1: yes week. It's a week to week league, And you

314
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:08,560
Speaker 1: think about it. Like we said earlier in the show,

315
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 1: this is the best game by far Miami's played, and

316
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 1: the Bills kind of got hit in the mouth early,

317
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:17,959
Speaker 1: especially with their running game, the Miami's running game. But

318
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:21,160
Speaker 1: I think it at this point, particularly with Josh, it

319
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:22,720
Speaker 1: takes him a little while to get a hand on

320
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 1: how they feel against this particular team on this particular

321
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 1: week and this particular game plan. I think he's still

322
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 1: struggling to get settled into these games, and I think

323
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:33,920
Speaker 1: it's one of the reasons we see him get off

324
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:36,120
Speaker 1: to Can I see this, Okay, I'll get your take

325
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:38,600
Speaker 1: on this you as well, Steve. This is an offense

326
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:41,320
Speaker 1: still growing, still in the state of flux. There were

327
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:44,240
Speaker 1: two new elements to the offense yesterday. Tyler Croft didn't

328
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 1: have a big role to play, but Devin Singletary did,

329
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:49,240
Speaker 1: who who was out for three games, And I just

330
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 1: think it'd be great to start September eighth, and here's

331
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 1: our offense and here's what we do. They have not

332
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:55,960
Speaker 1: had that luxury. I think they're still growing as an

333
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 1: offense with more development to come, and I think we'll

334
00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:00,080
Speaker 1: see it absolutely. And you come into the season with

335
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 1: nine new starters, and that's a big deal. You know,

336
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:06,720
Speaker 1: we talked you talk often about how much things can change.

337
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 1: You add a new offensive coordinator and how long that takes. Well,

338
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 1: all these players just added a new offensive coordinator in

339
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 1: their life. You know, that's nine new guys that were

340
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:17,120
Speaker 1: not in this scheme a year ago. And it takes time.

341
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 1: And the great thing is I mentioned before the Bills

342
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 1: are five and one, right, you know they're five and one,

343
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 1: and we can talk about how much growth they still have.

344
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 1: And you get a talented player like Tyler croftback and

345
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:31,200
Speaker 1: Devin Singletary back, and now how can we use them?

346
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 1: And now we have motor Singletary on the field and

347
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:36,840
Speaker 1: Mackenzie and you just have so much skill and speed

348
00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 1: and elusiveness. Well then you have Duke Williams, who's a

349
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:42,360
Speaker 1: newer I say newer edition. He was obviously here for

350
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:44,520
Speaker 1: fall camp, but in the last couple weeks he's come on,

351
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:46,960
Speaker 1: and he's six foot three and he's physical, and there's

352
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:50,240
Speaker 1: just so many elements that I'm so excited. And you

353
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:52,120
Speaker 1: almost take for granted that you have one of the

354
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 1: better slot receivers in football and Cole Beasley who can

355
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 1: get open, and John Brown who has completely trashed anybody

356
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:00,840
Speaker 1: in man coverage on him this year, which is which

357
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 1: is a quarterback's best friend. Hestee. One more thing before

358
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,440
Speaker 1: we get the calls and tweets about yesterday's game, and

359
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 1: there's a lot to talk about, and it's not all

360
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:11,120
Speaker 1: good right from yesterday's game. We know that, but the

361
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 1: Buffalo defense gives up twenty one points to the Miami

362
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:17,800
Speaker 1: Dolphins yesterday. I don't think anybody, any of us expected that.

363
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 1: The Dolphins clearly were motivated. They were a desperate team.

364
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:24,280
Speaker 1: We talked about Fits a moment ago, but you I

365
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 1: expected more from the defense, especially early, especially first half

366
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:29,080
Speaker 1: of that game. I agree, And I think the one

367
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 1: thing that was just concerious that early on the run game,

368
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:33,400
Speaker 1: Fits weren't down. We've seen that early in other games too,

369
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 1: where they've we've just gotten out of hand. I think

370
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 1: it comes down to and I don't in the big picture,

371
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:40,600
Speaker 1: even if though it was the Miami Dolphins, you got there,

372
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 1: like I said, we got their best swing, you didn't

373
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:47,400
Speaker 1: play your best, and you won that game by ten points.

374
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 1: There's some positives you can take away from that, but

375
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 1: I don't think there's any question the Bills defense caught

376
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 1: Miami on a good day with their running game, and

377
00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:00,840
Speaker 1: man o, man did they They had their hands full

378
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:02,280
Speaker 1: in the first half there, and they only gave up

379
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:04,600
Speaker 1: a touchdown in the second half, and they gave up

380
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:07,040
Speaker 1: the touchdown run to Fits on the big scramble where

381
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:08,720
Speaker 1: it should have been a ten yard or fifteen yard

382
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:11,160
Speaker 1: sack right and Jerry Hughes couldn't hang on to him.

383
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:16,320
Speaker 1: So that I think this game had. There's a lot

384
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:18,200
Speaker 1: of positives to think, but there's no way the Bills

385
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:20,800
Speaker 1: can players can walk off that field saying had this

386
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:23,639
Speaker 1: game was not The was a cakewalk for sure. I

387
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:25,440
Speaker 1: think it's a lot of good things to take away

388
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 1: from it, and I think particularly the defense where they say,

389
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 1: you know, we gotta we got some things we got

390
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:34,080
Speaker 1: to work on and shore up. So I think it's

391
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:35,639
Speaker 1: going forward. I think it's a good place for the

392
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:37,240
Speaker 1: coaching staff to be in, and I think the players

393
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:39,800
Speaker 1: are going to stay hungry and know that they've got

394
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:43,359
Speaker 1: to continue to work hard. Yeah, Sean McDermott. One of

395
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 1: his favorite sayings and meetings is you either win or

396
00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:49,240
Speaker 1: you learn, and sometimes you win and learn. You know,

397
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:52,080
Speaker 1: a loss isn't truly a loss in the NFL, especially

398
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:53,760
Speaker 1: earlier than the season, if you can get better from it,

399
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:55,840
Speaker 1: And that's what he would constantly preach. That's part of

400
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:57,240
Speaker 1: the reason why we were able to take a three

401
00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 1: one of the worst three games Skids and Franchise Street

402
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:02,159
Speaker 1: and still make the playoffs that year is we were

403
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:04,320
Speaker 1: learning from those weeks. Yes, we got smoked by the

404
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:09,120
Speaker 1: what was it, the Jet Saints and um Chargers Chargers, Yeah,

405
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:11,240
Speaker 1: and uh, but we were able to come back from that.

406
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:14,280
Speaker 1: And yesterday, you know, I'm it'd be interesting. We'll get

407
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:15,960
Speaker 1: Tremaine Evans on the show and we'll get a chance

408
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:19,439
Speaker 1: to ask him about what they were attacking, because they

409
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:21,480
Speaker 1: were they were looking at something I mentioned on the

410
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:24,359
Speaker 1: broadcast yesterday. Maybe they're looking at a two hundred and

411
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 1: eighty pound at Oliver and guys like him and Aaron Donald.

412
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:30,040
Speaker 1: Sometimes it's better to run at them than away from

413
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:31,920
Speaker 1: him because they're so elusive they can get down that

414
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:34,720
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage. But maybe with him with a two

415
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:38,120
Speaker 1: hundred eighteen pound Maurice Alexander behind him, maybe we're gonna

416
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:40,440
Speaker 1: try and attack there. Maybe they're saying, look, they're so

417
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 1: good off the edge, they're so good on pass defense.

418
00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 1: Let's see what we got up the middle. And then

419
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:47,280
Speaker 1: once you hit one, okay, now we have some confidence.

420
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 1: Let's get back to that. And then that really opened

421
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 1: up the play action pass and made all those one

422
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:55,879
Speaker 1: on one matchups on the outside exist because of the

423
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:59,600
Speaker 1: passing along. The Bills defense suggested there were more I

424
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 1: didn't uh, you know, a Nailingtown numbers yet, but there

425
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 1: seemed to be more snaps than the second half for

426
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:08,879
Speaker 1: Kyle Peco and Jordan Phillips up front, right is the

427
00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:11,600
Speaker 1: Bills responded to what the Dolphins. Yeah, adding a little

428
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:14,000
Speaker 1: bit more size upfront can can be big. And when

429
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 1: they were in twenty one personnel, you know, the Dolphins

430
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 1: have a two hundred and fifty pound fullback in the

431
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:21,280
Speaker 1: game and that adds a little bit of size up

432
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:25,240
Speaker 1: front for them, and you know, moving forward, maybe Matt

433
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:28,120
Speaker 1: Milano showed what his true value is to this team

434
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 1: when you had some production out of the tight end

435
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:32,760
Speaker 1: yesterday that we hadn't seen as much in the past,

436
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:34,879
Speaker 1: and some of those runs up the middle, well, that

437
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:36,720
Speaker 1: was my next question, and I'll go with you, Steve.

438
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:39,480
Speaker 1: Did was Zen a function of missing Matt Milano that much?

439
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:42,960
Speaker 1: And what the adjustments of Bills tried to make without

440
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:44,919
Speaker 1: I don't I think a little bit of it. Well.

441
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 1: I think I think they missed Matt Milano probably more

442
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:49,400
Speaker 1: in the past defense than they did in the rund.

443
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:52,760
Speaker 1: Milana's really good out in space, and he's also good

444
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:56,320
Speaker 1: at closing an a swing passes getting sidelined to Sideline's

445
00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:57,879
Speaker 1: got a lot of range. I think that's where they

446
00:19:57,920 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 1: missed him the most. I think in the run game,

447
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 1: I think more of uh. I think the Dolphins did

448
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:04,680
Speaker 1: some things they hadn't done before. I remember one where

449
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:07,119
Speaker 1: they had three that had three wide receivers in a

450
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:08,520
Speaker 1: cluster on one side, and they were two of them

451
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:11,240
Speaker 1: were tight ends. They used those guys as pulling guards

452
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:14,239
Speaker 1: to come across kick out and that's what they were

453
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:16,680
Speaker 1: running down inside on in the running game, and I

454
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:18,520
Speaker 1: think that's one of the things that they did. They

455
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:20,919
Speaker 1: did some things there that they had not done before.

456
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:23,400
Speaker 1: So I think they came at him with a scheme

457
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:27,520
Speaker 1: they hadn't seen with a new player inside. Uh, and they,

458
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 1: like you said, they were looking for matchups. I think

459
00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:32,199
Speaker 1: it was a long day for Levi Wallace. I mean

460
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 1: they were running, they were throwing the football at him

461
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:37,320
Speaker 1: a ton and uh, you know, sooner or later they're

462
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:39,440
Speaker 1: gonna Nikki for those So I think that's one of

463
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:40,760
Speaker 1: the things. I think the Dolphins did a nice job

464
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:44,639
Speaker 1: of picking their matchups and putting their best players on

465
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:46,320
Speaker 1: who they wanted them on. All right, we're gonna take

466
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:48,560

Speaker 1: to We were talking to Hermine. It looked to us

478
00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 1: and we Murph and I and Eric, we all watched

479
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 1: the Miami games leading up to your game yesterday. You

480
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:36,200
Speaker 1: got their best game, didn't you. Did it feel like

481
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:38,520
Speaker 1: that on again? Did it show up on film like that? Yeah?

482
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:40,720
Speaker 1: You know, I definitely thought. So, you know, a couple

483
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:42,879
Speaker 1: of things that you know, we've I don't want to

484
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:44,639
Speaker 1: say that we wasn't expecting because you got to expect

485
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:47,520
Speaker 1: everything in the football game, but you know, like they

486
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:49,960
Speaker 1: opened up a game with a gadget, so you know,

487
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:51,800
Speaker 1: just off that. You know, I think that said it's

488
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:53,240
Speaker 1: in well with a game like you know, they're gonna

489
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 1: give us some things that we may have not have

490
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:56,639
Speaker 1: seen on film, and we just got to prepare, you know,

491
00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:59,560
Speaker 1: we gotta playoff fundamentals and just play football and execute right.

492
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:01,600
Speaker 1: They were able to have some success in the run

493
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:03,639
Speaker 1: game yesterday that we haven't seen a whole lot of,

494
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:07,080
Speaker 1: maybe since the first drive of the Giants game this year.

495
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:10,000
Speaker 1: What were they doing offensively to try and attack you guys?

496
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:12,879
Speaker 1: You know, they put a fullback in the game. Uh,

497
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 1: you know, I think that's the biggest thing. You know,

498
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:16,840
Speaker 1: on family, they really haven't shown a lot of that,

499
00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:19,800
Speaker 1: but uh, I think it starts with us though. You know,

500
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:21,880
Speaker 1: you know, we could have did a better job execute

501
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:24,960
Speaker 1: and that starts with me. But you know, if we

502
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:26,560
Speaker 1: played football the way that we know how to play,

503
00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:28,479
Speaker 1: I think we could eliminated some of that stuff. I mean,

504
00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:31,720
Speaker 1: the more people see the Buffalo defense and is you

505
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:33,760
Speaker 1: guys keep playing well, teams will try to cross you

506
00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:36,080
Speaker 1: up right with the gadget or a different look than

507
00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:38,520
Speaker 1: you've seen us from them so far this year. Yeah, definitely.

508
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:40,960
Speaker 1: And you know, like I said, all that starts with us.

509
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:44,080
Speaker 1: If we execute, we play our fundamentals. Uh, you know,

510
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:47,080
Speaker 1: I think everything take care of yourself, so not get

511
00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:49,680
Speaker 1: too high because some things like that's gonna happen in football.

512
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:52,000
Speaker 1: You just gotta line up, put the next play and

513
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:54,159
Speaker 1: go to the next shot. What was the message at

514
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:56,240
Speaker 1: halftime of that game? I mean, you guys the fans

515
00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:58,320
Speaker 1: weren't happy to get off the field and you're given

516
00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:00,360
Speaker 1: up a couple of touchdowns which you don't do too much.

517
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:03,399
Speaker 1: What were the adjustments that you guys were thinking about

518
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:05,760
Speaker 1: at halftime, what was the message from the coaching staff.

519
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:08,200
Speaker 1: Biggest thing was just settled down. I mean, it's a

520
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:10,720
Speaker 1: long football game. You know, they got a couple of players,

521
00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:12,359
Speaker 1: a couple of good players that came out and uh

522
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:14,359
Speaker 1: biggest thing was just settling down and let's go out

523
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:16,520
Speaker 1: there and execute. That was the biggest thing. You know,

524
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:20,800
Speaker 1: a couple of misques out there, um, you know, not

525
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 1: playing fundamentally, that's everybody out there. You know, he can't

526
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:26,520
Speaker 1: point the finger at one person. But uh so it

527
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:28,359
Speaker 1: was just about us going out there and executing the

528
00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:30,760
Speaker 1: uh playing as a whole defense and you know, taking

529
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:33,000
Speaker 1: care about John assignments. You know, a couple of the

530
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:35,159
Speaker 1: biggest players of the game came back to back with

531
00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:39,440
Speaker 1: Jordan Phillips TfL and then the true Avious White interception.

532
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:41,560
Speaker 1: Talk about those couple of plays. Man, that was huge

533
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:43,160
Speaker 1: for us. That was huge for us at that time.

534
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:45,920
Speaker 1: You know, they had drove the field um and the

535
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:49,359
Speaker 1: red zone goal line. So uh, man, that was a

536
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:51,800
Speaker 1: big play. I think Jordan, you know, got the crowd

537
00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:54,440
Speaker 1: into it. Uh you know, made the offense kind of

538
00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:57,560
Speaker 1: switch switch about what they was gonna do, being that

539
00:23:57,640 --> 00:23:59,600
Speaker 1: they was backed up a little bit now, so you know,

540
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:02,760
Speaker 1: and then Davis come with that pick. Man. It set

541
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:04,879
Speaker 1: the crowd on fire, gave us a momentum. Man offense

542
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:07,119
Speaker 1: took advantage of it. It seems you talked about adjustments.

543
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:09,359
Speaker 1: It seemed like as a game went along the Buffalo defense,

544
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:10,960
Speaker 1: you guys tried to be bigger right there seemed to

545
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:13,399
Speaker 1: be more snaps for Jordan and for even Pecko right

546
00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:14,879
Speaker 1: up front. I'm trying to get a little bigger in

547
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:18,280
Speaker 1: the middle maybe or you know, I'm not sure, you

548
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:20,119
Speaker 1: know what, you know what the call was on that,

549
00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:22,280
Speaker 1: but you know, the coaches made the call, and I

550
00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:24,120
Speaker 1: mean just everybody got to go out there and execute

551
00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:27,760
Speaker 1: the player you just talked about. With the tackle for

552
00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:30,760
Speaker 1: lost by Jordan Phillips and they picked by True Davious.

553
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:34,239
Speaker 1: What was How did it change the sideline demeanor? When

554
00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:36,040
Speaker 1: the offense went out there and they finished off a

555
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:38,680
Speaker 1: ninety eight drive right after the pick, you had to

556
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:41,240
Speaker 1: feel like a whole different football team. It was. Yeah,

557
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:43,280
Speaker 1: it was a huge momentum change, and we knew we

558
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:45,440
Speaker 1: needed that. Uh, you know, that's what we talked about

559
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:47,040
Speaker 1: every time it's in the red zone. We talked about

560
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:50,440
Speaker 1: field goals and takeaways, and no matter if they're on

561
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:52,760
Speaker 1: the one y'all line, it s I say, mindset field

562
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:55,240
Speaker 1: goal takeaway and U I mean that just gave the

563
00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:57,480
Speaker 1: offense so much momentum. You could just see it. The

564
00:24:57,520 --> 00:25:01,000
Speaker 1: sideline went crazy, the fans went crazy. I mean, it

565
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:02,840
Speaker 1: was just a huge swing for the football team and

566
00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:05,840
Speaker 1: we needed that. With this hot start in Buffalo this year,

567
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:09,080
Speaker 1: the crowd has obviously been a factor. Have you noticed

568
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:11,200
Speaker 1: a difference from year one to year two in the

569
00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:13,520
Speaker 1: effect that they've had on the game? Man? I tell

570
00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:15,920
Speaker 1: I love that crowd. I love playing at home, even

571
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:18,440
Speaker 1: where away, its feel like a home game, right it.

572
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:20,920
Speaker 1: You know, it's even hard for me out there because

573
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:22,719
Speaker 1: you know, I'm the mic, so I'm trying to get

574
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:24,359
Speaker 1: the call and I'm holding my head said because I

575
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:27,159
Speaker 1: can't really hear. But it's amazing, man. It give us

576
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:30,360
Speaker 1: so much juice and energy out there. It's it's really effective,

577
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:32,680
Speaker 1: and I know the other team can feel that. The

578
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:35,399
Speaker 1: Bill's lineback your tremedia admins, how has your game improved

579
00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:37,639
Speaker 1: from where you were at this point a year ago? Right?

580
00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:39,760
Speaker 1: You played right from the start last year. Now you're

581
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:41,840
Speaker 1: a third of the way through your second season. Where

582
00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:43,280
Speaker 1: do you think you are better now than you were

583
00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:45,399
Speaker 1: maybe twelve months ago at this time. I think just

584
00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:49,480
Speaker 1: seeing everything out there, being more confident, you know, just

585
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:52,480
Speaker 1: just settling down and letting the game come to me.

586
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:56,159
Speaker 1: You know, I think sometimes I don't really see things

587
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 1: as quick as I want to see it. But you know,

588
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:00,160
Speaker 1: I have a long way as to go. Man, I'm

589
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:01,879
Speaker 1: nowhere close to being where I want to be at.

590
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:04,080
Speaker 1: I know there's a lot of things that I still

591
00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:06,320
Speaker 1: have to work on and uh, each and every day.

592
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:08,439
Speaker 1: You know, my teammates challenged me. You know, we got

593
00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:11,240
Speaker 1: good competition here at practice, So I'm gonna continue to

594
00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:13,200
Speaker 1: get better and uh, just to be the best version

595
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:14,800
Speaker 1: I could be. What do you think it's next for

596
00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 1: this defense? I mean, you've got a couple of turnovers

597
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:19,320
Speaker 1: yesterday that were the difference in the ball game. Set

598
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:21,720
Speaker 1: your set your offense, stop them from scoring on the

599
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:23,320
Speaker 1: on the two year line with a pick and then

600
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:25,600
Speaker 1: gave him a great short feel on the next turnover

601
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:29,119
Speaker 1: when Turdavius punched the ball out. So you're getting turnover there.

602
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:31,080
Speaker 1: What's next for this defense? What do you guys want

603
00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:34,640
Speaker 1: to accomplish? You know, even looking at the game, Yes, say,

604
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:36,400
Speaker 1: there's a lot more things we could have done better,

605
00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:38,680
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, just to be even more dominant

606
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:43,159
Speaker 1: out there. So it starts with you know, execution fundamentals.

607
00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:44,639
Speaker 1: Go back to day one and go back to our

608
00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:47,600
Speaker 1: fundamentals and just be dominant out there. And that starts

609
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:51,040
Speaker 1: at practice. Everybody communicating on the same level. H just

610
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:54,040
Speaker 1: just talking football, the same language. So I mean, we

611
00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:56,320
Speaker 1: still have a lot of room to grow. I think

612
00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:58,560
Speaker 1: it's still early for this defense, and uh, we just

613
00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:00,679
Speaker 1: got to continue to go together. I know you generally

614
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:03,080
Speaker 1: employed the twenty four hour rule as a team and

615
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:05,920
Speaker 1: taking the previous game before you move on to the

616
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:07,919
Speaker 1: next one. But with the Eagles playing on Sunday Football

617
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:09,600
Speaker 1: last night, did you get a chance to watch them

618
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:11,520
Speaker 1: and did anything stick out of So, yeah, I did

619
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:13,160
Speaker 1: get a chance to watch him. But to be honest

620
00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:15,040
Speaker 1: with you, just coming off a game, it was kind

621
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:17,120
Speaker 1: of more of like, you know, I'm just gonna watch

622
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:19,159
Speaker 1: the game as a fan, which not really trying to

623
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:22,040
Speaker 1: dissect it and uh, you know, kind of scout him,

624
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:23,879
Speaker 1: I would say, But it was just more of me

625
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:27,800
Speaker 1: watching it as a fan and you know, just watching football. Yeah,

626
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:31,800
Speaker 1: it's like background noise and I wasn't really watching. Hey, Jermaine,

00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:22,600
Speaker 1: you're on the air. Thanks for taking my call. Sure,

644
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:26,720
Speaker 1: I'm glad the Bills won, obviously, but I don't like

645
00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:30,200
Speaker 1: how we keep having to survive these first half stickers

646
00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:33,760
Speaker 1: because we play against a good team like the Ravens

647
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:35,560
Speaker 1: who went the Seattle and beat him in the twelve

648
00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 1: man will be dead the rest of the game. You know,

649
00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:40,880
Speaker 1: I'm glad our Devens pulled us out, but we have

650
00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:43,080
Speaker 1: some tough teams that we do that against, you know,

651
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:46,440
Speaker 1: coming up, and we could be well screwed the rest

652
00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:49,719
Speaker 1: of the game, you know what I mean. Yeah, Well, honestly, fortunately,

653
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:51,360
Speaker 1: there's not a whole lot of tough teams on the

654
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:53,360
Speaker 1: Bill schedule, at least they don't look so tough right now.

655
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:55,400
Speaker 1: But Steve, yeah, they got to play better. There's no

656
00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:57,440
Speaker 1: question the Bills must play better too if they're gonna

657
00:28:57,560 --> 00:29:00,240
Speaker 1: keep this record going, which is going pretty well right now. Yeah,

658
00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:03,760
Speaker 1: they're finding ways to win. I mean they're not they're

659
00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:06,120
Speaker 1: not dominating anybody on the offensive side of the football.

660
00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:08,560
Speaker 1: They're scoring points at the end of games to kind

661
00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:11,120
Speaker 1: of put it away or to get the lead back late.

662
00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:16,080
Speaker 1: They're five and one. I mean, it's hard to it's

663
00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:19,320
Speaker 1: hard to find flaws in it, but they're scoring enough

664
00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:21,520
Speaker 1: points to win. But I agree with you, that's the

665
00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:23,960
Speaker 1: if you're gonna look for something where it looks like

666
00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:27,520
Speaker 1: a team that's like gonna sail through the playoffs. Offense

667
00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:30,240
Speaker 1: always let you do that. But I'm telling you defense matters.

668
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:33,760
Speaker 1: Ask the Chiefs, uh, you know, ask these teams that

669
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:36,320
Speaker 1: are strugging. Even the Saints are playing extremely well because

670
00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:39,360
Speaker 1: their defense is playing well. Yeah, the offense could play

671
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:42,320
Speaker 1: a little bit more efficiently, score some more points, finished

672
00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:44,680
Speaker 1: some drives yesterday and it would have been a much

673
00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:49,320
Speaker 1: different game. But you know, these aren't bad problems to

674
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:52,480
Speaker 1: have right now. They're they're really not. Certainly you'd be

675
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:55,160
Speaker 1: we'd be wringing our hands if they had. If they

676
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:58,240
Speaker 1: were a three and two team now or a two

677
00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:00,360
Speaker 1: and three team, everybody would be like up in ours

678
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:03,600
Speaker 1: because we can't score points. But man on, man, I

679
00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:07,120
Speaker 1: you know, give me this, give me this, every give

680
00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:09,560
Speaker 1: me these wins. Every year played poorly and win. I mean,

681
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:11,479
Speaker 1: it's kind of like money in the bank there, Eric,

682
00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:13,960
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, it's found money. It's absolutely

683
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:16,640
Speaker 1: because you're you're gonna learn from so much throughout the

684
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:18,880
Speaker 1: game if you do if you do play bad, you know,

685
00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:21,920
Speaker 1: and I think part of its saving a second year quarterback,

686
00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:25,240
Speaker 1: you know, those like we mentioned earlier in the show,

687
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:28,560
Speaker 1: he is seeing things at the beginning of games that

688
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:30,640
Speaker 1: maybe he's never saw on film before, maybe he's never

689
00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:33,000
Speaker 1: experienced it in a game before. And some of that

690
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:36,040
Speaker 1: reason is maybe why they're starting slow. Maybe it's some continuity,

691
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:39,000
Speaker 1: you know the offensive line. You know, I mentioned it

692
00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:41,040
Speaker 1: in the first broadcast when we had the Jets game.

693
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:42,760
Speaker 1: They're going to get better as this game goes on,

694
00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:44,480
Speaker 1: as this year goes on, because they didn't get the

695
00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:47,240
Speaker 1: play as a group in the preseason, so all those

696
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:49,920
Speaker 1: factors can buy nine new starters on offense. Maybe that's

697
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:51,800
Speaker 1: why the offense is starting a little slower, you know.

698
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:55,640
Speaker 1: On defense, while they return virtually everybody, they have some

699
00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:58,480
Speaker 1: young guys and some key spots, a second year middle

700
00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:02,000
Speaker 1: linebacker running the show, a first year defensive tackle. You know,

701
00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:05,000
Speaker 1: there's a number of youthful players that maybe sometimes you

702
00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:07,440
Speaker 1: start a little bit slower, you know, sometimes both you

703
00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:10,640
Speaker 1: can answer this. I would hope you hear Sean McDermot

704
00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:13,080
Speaker 1: talk about some of his you know code words growth

705
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:17,680
Speaker 1: process or you know growth mentality or the process and

706
00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:19,360
Speaker 1: it kind of goes over your head. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

707
00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:23,040
Speaker 1: whatever he means something, and he's talking about learning. As

708
00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:25,080
Speaker 1: you said, Eric from week to week and getting better. Right,

709
00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:27,640
Speaker 1: He's looking for growth and almost a daily Basically, you

710
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:31,080
Speaker 1: gotta keep striving to do that. And games like this

711
00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:33,360
Speaker 1: when you've got some things that didn't go your way

712
00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:35,960
Speaker 1: or where you and you get the best swing of

713
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:38,560
Speaker 1: that other team, And it says something both these teams.

714
00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:40,960
Speaker 1: We know where Miami is, we know where Buffalo is.

715
00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:44,600
Speaker 1: Miami couldn't win when they were playing their absolute best

716
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:47,600
Speaker 1: game of the season. Buffalo won by ten when they

717
00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:51,600
Speaker 1: played maybe as bad as game as they played defensively

718
00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:54,760
Speaker 1: all year. So there's a lot of ways to look

719
00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:58,120
Speaker 1: at this game. But you're right, Murph. It win or lose,

720
00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:00,280
Speaker 1: it doesn't change the fact that you got to feel

721
00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:02,440
Speaker 1: like you feel like you got to get better. It's

722
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:04,280
Speaker 1: a week to week league, like we always say, and

723
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:06,720
Speaker 1: they've got to get better for next week. The Philadelphia

724
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:08,960
Speaker 1: Eagles are gonna come in desperate to keep pacing the

725
00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:11,440
Speaker 1: NFC East. They're gonna get a they may get another

726
00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:13,480
Speaker 1: big swing from a team. And I'll tell you what,

727
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:15,680
Speaker 1: Philadelphia's best game is gonna be a lot better than

728
00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:18,800
Speaker 1: Miami's best game. And you gotta go. You gotta prepare

729
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:22,080
Speaker 1: this week and I the game is gonna be one,

730
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:24,040
Speaker 1: this Philly game. If you're gonna win it, it's gonna

731
00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:27,720
Speaker 1: be one between Monday and Saturday. That's when you prepare

732
00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:30,440
Speaker 1: to win. And no matter what the Eagles do, if

733
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:32,920
Speaker 1: you're not ready for him by getting ready for six

734
00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:35,760
Speaker 1: days up to that game, you lose that game. So

735
00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:39,120
Speaker 1: I that mentality has to carry you through these weeks

736
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:42,000
Speaker 1: when whether you practice or not, or whether you're hurt,

737
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:45,400
Speaker 1: whether you're you know, you got stuff to do, treatments together.

738
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:47,680
Speaker 1: You got to get through this with a mindset. You

739
00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:49,640
Speaker 1: got to play better in order to win. Yeah. One

740
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:52,920
Speaker 1: of the best things Sean McDermott does, and from a

741
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:56,400
Speaker 1: guy who's been in his daily meetings, is he comes

742
00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:59,320
Speaker 1: with the same mentality every single day. In the consistency

743
00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:02,800
Speaker 1: that he brings to the table his team models so

744
00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:06,680
Speaker 1: each day they seem to have this workmanlike mentality. I

745
00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:09,240
Speaker 1: saw the guys working out today and there's no goofing

746
00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:11,600
Speaker 1: around after a win out out on the turf like

747
00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:13,640
Speaker 1: you maybe would have saw five or six years ago.

748
00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:16,600
Speaker 1: They're out there with a workmanlike mentality because that's what's

749
00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:18,400
Speaker 1: expected him every day. But the head coach models it

750
00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:20,960
Speaker 1: he's in here working out at four something in the

751
00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:23,840
Speaker 1: morning every day. He eats the same thing for breakfast

752
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:26,320
Speaker 1: every day. He shows up and there's music going in

753
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:29,800
Speaker 1: the hallways, and he comes in with a prepared message

754
00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:32,960
Speaker 1: each day. He's diligent, his meetings are organized well. That

755
00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:35,240
Speaker 1: rubs off on everybody, and that's how you get the

756
00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:37,800
Speaker 1: growth mindset. You can bind a couple of his sayings

757
00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:41,360
Speaker 1: the growth process, and I like that. That'll we should

758
00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:43,760
Speaker 1: get some T shirts of combining his like all of

759
00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:48,080
Speaker 1: his mantras. But as a player, you know, as a player,

760
00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:50,720
Speaker 1: when you constantly get a consistent message from the head coach,

761
00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:54,400
Speaker 1: it rubs off on you. And it's shown over these

762
00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:56,400
Speaker 1: three years of him being the head coach. Take now

763
00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:58,800
Speaker 1: they call here from Kevin and Rochester. Hello Kevin, go ahead,

764
00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:03,120
Speaker 1: you're on the air or how you doing good? Oh?

765
00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:05,320
Speaker 1: I was calling because I was just thinking. I was

766
00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:10,359
Speaker 1: just thinking about yesterday's game, and I was just thinking, like, yeah,

767
00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:12,719
Speaker 1: we was a young team. We came out rusty in

768
00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:16,080
Speaker 1: the first half, but we were able to gather ourselves

769
00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:19,600
Speaker 1: on the run. And I think that's a good thing

770
00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:22,120
Speaker 1: take out of the game, is that we're able to

771
00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:25,279
Speaker 1: expect the justestments as we go as opposed before, I

772
00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:27,919
Speaker 1: don't think that we were as good in that type

773
00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:31,160
Speaker 1: of situation and where we fix ourselves on the fly

774
00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:34,560
Speaker 1: to win a football game and knock it upset by

775
00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:36,640
Speaker 1: a team that's like I was talking to my buddy

776
00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:41,320
Speaker 1: before Will's teams, the team they don't have nothing a

777
00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:43,560
Speaker 1: little bit, but with how it was funny. So I

778
00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:48,280
Speaker 1: think we uh overcame the adversity, and I think Josh

779
00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:51,839
Speaker 1: was very timely in the second half. And even though

780
00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:55,720
Speaker 1: we run the ball for a whole bunch of yards persday,

781
00:34:56,280 --> 00:35:00,719
Speaker 1: we read and when we did running, we were successful. Yeah. Hey,

782
00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:04,160
Speaker 1: is it too soon in Josh Allen's career to say

783
00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:07,439
Speaker 1: that he's got a knack for performing when the chips

784
00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:09,359
Speaker 1: are down? I mean getting to get that sense from him,

785
00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:11,680
Speaker 1: you know, even if he starts out slow, don't write

786
00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:14,799
Speaker 1: him off. Yeah, he seems to have that clutch gene. Yeah,

787
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:16,799
Speaker 1: you know that shows up in the fourth quarter. He's

788
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:19,160
Speaker 1: playing his best ball yesterday in the second half he's

789
00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:23,880
Speaker 1: ten for eleven And I love the fact I love

790
00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:26,280
Speaker 1: it and hate it, you commented on throughout the broadcast.

791
00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:29,200
Speaker 1: Sometimes I'm critical of running sometimes I love him running.

792
00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:32,680
Speaker 1: I hate when he runs on first and ten and

793
00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:35,480
Speaker 1: takes a shot. I love on a two point conversion

794
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:38,120
Speaker 1: when you're putting points on the board. I love on

795
00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:41,320
Speaker 1: a third and one where you're going across the sticks.

796
00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:44,279
Speaker 1: Those are times. Those are calculated times. And there may

797
00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:46,160
Speaker 1: even be third and once throughout a game where I

798
00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:48,560
Speaker 1: don't want him to even take a big look for

799
00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:50,640
Speaker 1: because of how valuable it is to have your quarterback

800
00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:53,319
Speaker 1: on the field. But that's what makes you love him.

801
00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:56,359
Speaker 1: That's what makes this fan base just absolutely love him

802
00:35:56,400 --> 00:36:01,280
Speaker 1: as their quarterback. Is his clutch abilities, competitiveness, is drive

803
00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:03,719
Speaker 1: in the plays he's making in the fourth quarter. Well,

804
00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:05,600
Speaker 1: it's one of the things too, you think about it,

805
00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:09,440
Speaker 1: you can say what we just said, talked about Brian Fitzpatrick.

806
00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:11,440
Speaker 1: Some of the stuff he does, he bangs it in,

807
00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:14,240
Speaker 1: he picks his spots when he runs, his scrambling, ability,

808
00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:16,880
Speaker 1: ability to stay alive, busting in on a run at

809
00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:20,000
Speaker 1: the goal line, all that kind of stuff. It's it's

810
00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:22,840
Speaker 1: a little bit about saying a message to your teammates

811
00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:24,880
Speaker 1: as well about listen, I'm here, I'm gonna go. I'm

812
00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:28,320
Speaker 1: giving it. John Elway the play everybody out of the

813
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:31,120
Speaker 1: fifteen seventeen years he played in the NFL to get

814
00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:34,319
Speaker 1: play he gets called out for is when he's when

815
00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:37,200
Speaker 1: he's ninety two years old doing the helicopter to get

816
00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:38,920
Speaker 1: the first down in the Super Bowl to win it.

817
00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:43,800
Speaker 1: That's the play that's it's enough to be this quarterback

818
00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:46,239
Speaker 1: who's protected. And then they get rapping, bubble rapping. If

819
00:36:46,239 --> 00:36:47,840
Speaker 1: you get touched on your if you even get a

820
00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:49,880
Speaker 1: finger on your head, they get a penalty on you all.

821
00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:52,080
Speaker 1: But when you you know, duck your head and take

822
00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:57,239
Speaker 1: a blow and let's go. It's something about being in

823
00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:00,640
Speaker 1: it with the guys on the team. So you're right,

824
00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:05,200
Speaker 1: too much is too much, and but you gotta have

825
00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:07,920
Speaker 1: some of that right And all the things that we

826
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:11,400
Speaker 1: said about Ryan Fitzpatrick early in this show, a lot

827
00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:13,520
Speaker 1: of those can be said about Josh Allen. He's a

828
00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:16,000
Speaker 1: leader year or two, he's a captain of the team,

829
00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:19,400
Speaker 1: and guys respond to him. He treats everybody well that

830
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:23,040
Speaker 1: he's around. He puts his body on the line, he

831
00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:25,400
Speaker 1: runs for first downs, he'll make plays, He builds up

832
00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:28,520
Speaker 1: his receivers, he talks about every his teammates so well.

833
00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:30,480
Speaker 1: In the media that's all the stuff we just said

834
00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:33,560
Speaker 1: about Ryan Fitzpatrick, and that's why these guys play so

835
00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:36,560
Speaker 1: hard with Josh Allen as well. Take one more phone

836
00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:39,239
Speaker 1: call in this segment, go to Bob in Newark. Hello, Bob,

838
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:47,319
Speaker 1: the show. Thank you about Geez twenty five years ago.

839
00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:49,440
Speaker 1: It's funny which we remember in life. Three of my

840
00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:52,680
Speaker 1: guys friends we drove to Syracuse to watch the Bills

841
00:37:52,680 --> 00:37:55,879
Speaker 1: on Monday night they played Oakland. It was blacked out

842
00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:59,520
Speaker 1: at the time, and I'll always remember the announcers screaming,

843
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:03,120
Speaker 1: he did it again, he did it again, And that

844
00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:07,600
Speaker 1: was Steve Tasker blocking another punt. I will always remember

845
00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:13,680
Speaker 1: that until I die, having said, Okay, just check it.

846
00:38:13,840 --> 00:38:17,239
Speaker 1: I've seen it on highlights. Yeah, continuous loop at your house. Yeah,

847
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:22,279
Speaker 1: go ahead, Bob. I got a problem, and I don't

848
00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:24,719
Speaker 1: expect you guys to help me, but I gotta to

849
00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:27,680
Speaker 1: get off my jet. I followed the Bills for I

850
00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:33,000
Speaker 1: don't know forty five years. I can't get over them

851
00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:37,959
Speaker 1: not covering the gunners against New England. I'm so mad

852
00:38:38,080 --> 00:38:41,799
Speaker 1: over that. Um, I think I'm going to be mad

853
00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:44,759
Speaker 1: over that. The rest of my life. Well here's the

854
00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:47,160
Speaker 1: thing that's a problem. But yeah, but yeah, let it go, bob.

855
00:38:47,160 --> 00:38:51,600
Speaker 1: But here's why, don't don't kid yourself. Yeah, the New

856
00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:53,800
Speaker 1: England Patriots got the bills on that they blocked the

857
00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:56,000
Speaker 1: punt turned into a touchdown. It was a difference maker

858
00:38:56,040 --> 00:38:57,839
Speaker 1: in that game. But but let me tell you something,

859
00:38:58,280 --> 00:39:00,480
Speaker 1: there's no doubt about it. That was a roll of

860
00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:03,920
Speaker 1: the dice by the Patriots as well. They rolled the

861
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:06,919
Speaker 1: dice and leaving those guys uncovered. And there's a couple

862
00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:09,400
Speaker 1: of things that were a confluence of events that you

863
00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:12,239
Speaker 1: can put to planning and all that. But first of all,

864
00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:15,680
Speaker 1: one there's a bad snap to Corey by Orkez is right.

865
00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:19,120
Speaker 1: Corey ber Erkez is a left footed punter. If he'd

866
00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:21,279
Speaker 1: been a right footed punter, he gets that punt off

867
00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:23,000
Speaker 1: because if it's a bad snap to his right, he

868
00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:25,920
Speaker 1: just keeps going with his momentum and runs with the

869
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:28,400
Speaker 1: kick and punts it away. But because it was a

870
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:31,120
Speaker 1: bad snap lowing to his right, he has to turn

871
00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:34,200
Speaker 1: his hips and take a kind of a half click

872
00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:37,120
Speaker 1: more on the clock to get straightened up to kick

873
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:39,440
Speaker 1: it back to his with his left foot. He's got

874
00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:42,160
Speaker 1: an extra step or so to get that punt off

875
00:39:42,760 --> 00:39:46,080
Speaker 1: coming back that way is where the pressure was coming

876
00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:48,160
Speaker 1: from because it is his left foot. All of that,

877
00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:51,960
Speaker 1: plus they got an extra guy, There's no doubt about it.

878
00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:54,160
Speaker 1: They sent extra people and rolled the dice. If Corey

879
00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:57,279
Speaker 1: Berkez goes with a bad snap, takes a couple of

880
00:39:57,320 --> 00:39:59,600
Speaker 1: steps and throws that ball out across this body out

881
00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:04,000
Speaker 1: to Corey Kirk Coleman, he's still running. So it was

882
00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:06,040
Speaker 1: a roll of the dice by the Patriots. They got

883
00:40:06,080 --> 00:40:08,359
Speaker 1: away with it. We had a bad snap as well

884
00:40:08,719 --> 00:40:11,520
Speaker 1: that helped him, and bourke Has being a left footed punter,

885
00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:14,319
Speaker 1: got caught in a bad spot with a bad snap

886
00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:16,520
Speaker 1: to his right, having to turn his hips to kick

887
00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:18,560
Speaker 1: the thing back to his left or to get it

888
00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:21,400
Speaker 1: straight down the field. Even so, yeah, it was a

889
00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:24,400
Speaker 1: It was a good play by the Patriots. They got

890
00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:27,759
Speaker 1: a lucky break to include it included in their roll

891
00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:30,759
Speaker 1: of the dice, so they got a huge kind of

892
00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:32,880
Speaker 1: a double good break on that. But it was a

893
00:40:32,920 --> 00:40:34,440
Speaker 1: good planning too, because they know they got to right

894
00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:36,480
Speaker 1: a left footed putter and that's the side they brought

895
00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:40,400
Speaker 1: the pressure from. So you know, yeah, I get it.

896
00:40:40,640 --> 00:40:43,279
Speaker 1: It's it sticks, It sticks around with you, particularly since

897
00:40:43,320 --> 00:40:46,440
Speaker 1: they won that game by six points. Yep, hey, um, Eric,

898
00:40:46,719 --> 00:40:48,360
Speaker 1: before we let you go and we're running out of

899

Speaker 1: when I committed to them, I had one scholarship offer

919
00:41:40,760 --> 00:41:43,399
Speaker 1: close to home, for an hour and a half away. Um,

920
00:41:43,840 --> 00:41:46,719
Speaker 1: Jeff Braum had actually recruited other guys from my high

921
00:41:46,760 --> 00:41:50,720
Speaker 1: school and when I was a role playing mainly backup

922
00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:53,600
Speaker 1: tight end as a junior, he had noticed me recruited

923
00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:55,200
Speaker 1: me a little bit and then you know, I gained

924
00:41:55,239 --> 00:41:57,960
Speaker 1: fifty pounds and became an offensive lineman, and you know,

925
00:41:58,120 --> 00:41:59,640
Speaker 1: he ended up off They end up offered me a

926
00:41:59,680 --> 00:42:02,600
Speaker 1: scholar ship after a basketball game after the season my

927
00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:06,320
Speaker 1: senior year. So at that time, mainly your recruiting class

928
00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:08,719
Speaker 1: is completely full. And I got lucky that even had

929
00:42:08,760 --> 00:42:12,839
Speaker 1: scholarships available. So it's so much. I'm so fortunate, and um,

930
00:42:13,719 --> 00:42:15,680
Speaker 1: you know my goal when I got to the University

931
00:42:15,719 --> 00:42:18,360
Speaker 1: of Louisville, and as I think back on it, I wanted,

932
00:42:18,640 --> 00:42:21,480
Speaker 1: you know, guys going to colleges nowadays with eighty offers

933
00:42:21,520 --> 00:42:23,799
Speaker 1: and they they're entitled and they transfer if they can't start.

934
00:42:24,080 --> 00:42:26,440
Speaker 1: I wanted them to get their return on investment. I

935
00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:28,400
Speaker 1: wanted them to say, thank God, we gave him his

936
00:42:28,480 --> 00:42:31,359
Speaker 1: one scholarship and to be dominated now into the Hall

937
00:42:31,360 --> 00:42:33,840
Speaker 1: of Fame just means a tremendous amount. One of the

938
00:42:33,880 --> 00:42:37,399
Speaker 1: guys going in is Francisco Garcia. Played a long time

939
00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:40,640
Speaker 1: in the NBA, played college basketball at Louisville, And it's funny,

940
00:42:40,640 --> 00:42:42,600
Speaker 1: you know, I was such a huge fan of his,

941
00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:45,480
Speaker 1: you know, you know, through high school and stuff, and

942
00:42:45,520 --> 00:42:47,080
Speaker 1: then to go into Hall of Fame with him is

943
00:42:47,080 --> 00:42:50,520
Speaker 1: really neat graduations. A grateful heart leads to a lot

944
00:42:50,560 --> 00:42:54,279
Speaker 1: of success. Absolutely, you're right, and I try to be

945
00:42:54,840 --> 00:42:57,440
Speaker 1: you know, even with my career ending. You know, I

946
00:42:57,520 --> 00:42:59,680
Speaker 1: could I could sit around and say, man, it's it's

947
00:42:59,680 --> 00:43:01,520
Speaker 1: staying so bad. I should be out there playing. And

948
00:43:01,719 --> 00:43:04,200
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott actually asked me before the game yesterday, how

949
00:43:04,239 --> 00:43:06,080
Speaker 1: bad you miss it? And I said, I really miss it.

950
00:43:06,360 --> 00:43:08,560
Speaker 1: And on a game that's on a game that's so

951
00:43:08,680 --> 00:43:10,960
Speaker 1: beautiful Norchard Park and the stadium's filling up. When he

952
00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:12,840
Speaker 1: when he asked me the question, and we end up

953
00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:15,040
Speaker 1: having a conversation. Eventually he said, dude, I gotta go

954
00:43:15,120 --> 00:43:17,960
Speaker 1: inside and give a talk Bud, And uh, but but

955
00:43:18,040 --> 00:43:20,160

Speaker 1: opportunities and my body feels better now and and based

957
00:43:23,480 --> 00:43:26,480
Speaker 1: upon the X rays in the MRI. And I don't

958
00:43:26,520 --> 00:43:28,799
Speaker 1: say this lightly. I could have been like Ryan Chay's

959
00:43:28,840 --> 00:43:31,640
Speaker 1: you're at this point and there's there's doctors that say,

960
00:43:31,640 --> 00:43:34,320

00:43:43,520 --> 00:43:44,600
Speaker 1: do it. And I'll tell you what. It wasn't like

966
00:43:44,680 --> 00:43:47,319
Speaker 1: you didn't have you didn't have any career. You had

967

Speaker 1: a little early, no question, but he still got a

970
00:43:55,840 --> 00:43:58,400
Speaker 1: lot to be happy about and thankful for. And um

971
00:43:58,520 --> 00:44:00,480
Speaker 1: and you're in a great spot now too as well.

972
00:44:00,600 --> 00:44:02,840
Speaker 1: For sure, nine years a cap it with the playoff

973
00:44:03,680 --> 00:44:05,920
Speaker 1: run at the end and break the drought which was

974
00:44:06,200 --> 00:44:08,960
Speaker 1: absolutely tons of fun, go from one scholarship to a

975
00:44:09,040 --> 00:44:11,120
Speaker 1: first round draft pick and all that. So I am

976
00:44:11,200 --> 00:44:14,200
Speaker 1: truly grateful and a lot of that it's just you know,

977
00:44:14,280 --> 00:44:17,439
Speaker 1: I was, you know, God's favor. I got incredible opportunities

978
00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:21,560
Speaker 1: and had incredible resources at Louisville. Coaches come here. I

979
00:44:21,640 --> 00:44:24,279
Speaker 1: played for seven head coaches in nine years. And some

980
00:44:24,360 --> 00:44:26,920
Speaker 1: people will say, man, that's so many schemes to learn.

981
00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:29,120
Speaker 1: That stinks. Well, you know what's great When I'm doing

982
00:44:29,160 --> 00:44:31,359
Speaker 1: broadcasts and I look down the sheet before the game

983
00:44:31,400 --> 00:44:33,799
Speaker 1: and I say, oh, shoot, this guy came from this tree.

984
00:44:34,080 --> 00:44:38,040
Speaker 1: So he was under George Edwards, who was under Zimmer

985
00:44:38,120 --> 00:44:40,040
Speaker 1: who was under him. Oh okay, I know what this

986
00:44:40,120 --> 00:44:43,279
Speaker 1: defensive look like already, or this offense. I played for

987
00:44:43,360 --> 00:44:45,880
Speaker 1: seven different offensive coordinators. Well, then when we go when

988
00:44:45,920 --> 00:44:48,400
Speaker 1: we're commentating on a game, sometimes it's easy for me

989
00:44:48,480 --> 00:44:50,680
Speaker 1: to say, hey, I bet they're gonna run the ball here.

990
00:44:50,719 --> 00:44:52,239
Speaker 1: I bet they take a shot here on second and one.

991
00:44:52,280 --> 00:44:55,040
Speaker 1: I bet after this turnover they do a screen pass

992
00:44:55,080 --> 00:44:57,040
Speaker 1: because they know that the defensive line's gonna be screaming

993
00:44:57,120 --> 00:44:59,799
Speaker 1: up the field. Ye right, did you just blew me away?

994
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:02,279
Speaker 1: Grateful heart leads to a lot of success. Did you

995
00:45:02,360 --> 00:45:04,000
Speaker 1: make that up? Yeah? It just came to me while

996
00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:06,399
Speaker 1: I was listening to him. Are you serious? Yeah, that's great, Yeah,

997
00:45:06,400 --> 00:45:08,759
Speaker 1: it's true. That serious. I know it's true. And I

998
00:45:08,800 --> 00:45:12,120
Speaker 1: hadn't thought about it like that. But you know, because

999
00:45:12,200 --> 00:45:15,239
Speaker 1: you feel like you like him, you feel gratitude to

1000
00:45:15,280 --> 00:45:17,399
Speaker 1: the guys who offered you a scholarship. I got zero

1001
00:45:17,480 --> 00:45:19,080
Speaker 1: offers when I came out of high school. I went

1002
00:45:19,239 --> 00:45:23,399
Speaker 1: to a community college, but there was somebody there said, yeah,

1003
00:45:23,440 --> 00:45:25,879
Speaker 1: well we the coach came and asked me to come there.

1004
00:45:26,280 --> 00:45:28,759
Speaker 1: So I was like, wow, that's kind of cool. Then

1005
00:45:28,840 --> 00:45:30,759
Speaker 1: I did get a scholarship, and I was grateful there.

1006
00:45:30,800 --> 00:45:33,360
Speaker 1: You know, it's and your first round draft pick. You

1007

00:50:56,040 --> 00:50:58,799
Speaker 1: about how much better he's getting in the last half

1120
00:50:58,800 --> 00:51:00,640
Speaker 1: of last season. This year at looked like he took

1121
00:51:00,680 --> 00:51:04,040
Speaker 1: a step forward in the off season and now he's

1122
00:51:05,360 --> 00:51:09,120

1125
00:51:14,719 --> 00:51:17,640
Speaker 1: he was. I'm thinking, yeah, hey, we made a tour

1126
00:51:17,640 --> 00:51:19,560
Speaker 1: around the locker room after the game yesterday, and it's

1127
00:51:19,560 --> 00:51:21,400
Speaker 1: time to hear what they were seeing in the victorious

1128
00:51:21,440 --> 00:51:24,200

00:51:31,400 --> 00:51:37,760
Speaker 1: around the Buffalo Bills locker room. Bills quarterback Josh Shamlett

1133
00:51:37,840 --> 00:51:40,960
Speaker 1: on the second half turnaround on offense, Yeah, I mean

1134
00:51:41,040 --> 00:51:43,560
Speaker 1: we just we knew it halftime. We were hurting ourselves

1135
00:51:43,600 --> 00:51:46,520
Speaker 1: early in the first Um, you know, getting three field

1136
00:51:46,560 --> 00:51:47,920
Speaker 1: goals is and what we wanted to do them, then

1137
00:51:47,960 --> 00:51:50,359
Speaker 1: we want to finish the touchdown. So you know, our

1138
00:51:50,440 --> 00:51:53,200
Speaker 1: our old line stepped up. Um, you know, the challenged

1139
00:51:53,200 --> 00:51:55,520
Speaker 1: them and they answered the bell. So pish it what

1140
00:51:55,560 --> 00:51:57,879
Speaker 1: they did for us today. You know, Frank and Motor

1141
00:51:57,920 --> 00:52:01,000
Speaker 1: they carried the Rockwell. We made some plays outside too,

1142
00:52:01,239 --> 00:52:04,160
Speaker 1: wide receiver John Brown. The passing game got better in

1143
00:52:04,239 --> 00:52:06,719
Speaker 1: the second half. You know, Um we kind of like

1144
00:52:07,560 --> 00:52:10,000
Speaker 1: spin up the temple, you know, winning love no how

1145
00:52:10,040 --> 00:52:12,960
Speaker 1: to you know, to get comfortable in situations and he

1146
00:52:13,160 --> 00:52:15,520
Speaker 1: was says making a great decisions. Could you subscribe your

1147
00:52:15,600 --> 00:52:19,920
Speaker 1: touchdown argument? Just something we rapped all week, you know,

1148
00:52:20,040 --> 00:52:22,440
Speaker 1: came moving emotionally and ran a post route and it

1149
00:52:22,560 --> 00:52:25,760
Speaker 1: was a great throw by Josh. Wide receiver Cole Beasley

1150
00:52:25,880 --> 00:52:30,640
Speaker 1: on his game winning touchdown reception's first as a Buffalo Bill. Yeah,

1151
00:52:30,880 --> 00:52:32,880
Speaker 1: I was like, I had to dig route a little

1152
00:52:32,960 --> 00:52:34,880
Speaker 1: end route and I just had one on one and

1153
00:52:34,920 --> 00:52:37,040
Speaker 1: had to beat my guy to the flatballs. Right. Good

1154
00:52:37,080 --> 00:52:38,799
Speaker 1: they get the first one finally out of the way

1155
00:52:38,840 --> 00:52:40,520
Speaker 1: for you. I mean you've been kind of kind of

1156
00:52:40,560 --> 00:52:42,839
Speaker 1: squeezing for one. Yeah. Yeah, it was good to finally

1157
00:52:42,880 --> 00:52:46,040
Speaker 1: get in there. It's been a while. Missed the endzone

1158
00:52:46,040 --> 00:52:48,200
Speaker 1: a little bit. So it's funny get in there today.

1159
00:52:48,840 --> 00:52:51,560
Speaker 1: Head coach Sean McDermott on the Bill's ninety eight yards

1160
00:52:51,600 --> 00:52:53,719
Speaker 1: scoring drive in the third quarter. It's not an easy

1161
00:52:53,840 --> 00:52:57,200
Speaker 1: drive to play. To do and continue to play clean

1162
00:52:57,280 --> 00:53:00,279
Speaker 1: football the way down and then um, you know, the

1163
00:53:00,400 --> 00:53:01,880
Speaker 1: defense get to get a chance and get to get

1164
00:53:01,960 --> 00:53:04,359
Speaker 1: arrest as well. And look, a lot to learn from

1165
00:53:04,400 --> 00:53:07,359
Speaker 1: this game. I thought, um on both sides and really

1166
00:53:07,400 --> 00:53:10,479
Speaker 1: all three phases. Cornerback tradebas White, he says, the Bills

1167
00:53:10,520 --> 00:53:14,080
Speaker 1: have a been but don't break defense. Those guys came up,

1168
00:53:14,200 --> 00:53:15,840
Speaker 1: came out and punched us in the mouth, and uh,

1169
00:53:16,160 --> 00:53:18,600
Speaker 1: we get We came in into the locker room and

1170
00:53:19,120 --> 00:53:20,960
Speaker 1: we made some adjustments and then we was able to

1171
00:53:21,239 --> 00:53:24,279
Speaker 1: pretty much limit those things in the second half. That said,

1172
00:53:24,320 --> 00:53:26,920
Speaker 1: the coach said, stop sinking and just play. Was that

1173
00:53:27,040 --> 00:53:29,200
Speaker 1: the message amongst all of you. Oh yeah, for sure.

1174
00:53:29,280 --> 00:53:31,279
Speaker 1: You know, you watch film all week and then you

1175
00:53:31,360 --> 00:53:33,680
Speaker 1: come out and we try to try to guess what

1176
00:53:33,800 --> 00:53:36,319
Speaker 1: players they're gonna run by the formation, but they can

1177
00:53:36,360 --> 00:53:38,799
Speaker 1: always do some difference. And that's probably where we felt

1178
00:53:38,880 --> 00:53:40,840
Speaker 1: victimto in the first half, trying to play the plays

1179
00:53:40,840 --> 00:53:43,719
Speaker 1: and not just play Football. White backer Lorenzo Alexander on

1180
00:53:43,840 --> 00:53:46,239
Speaker 1: the defensive turnaround in the game. I gave up a

1181
00:53:46,280 --> 00:53:49,080
Speaker 1: couple of big plays um and then led to touchdowns,

1182
00:53:49,120 --> 00:53:52,040
Speaker 1: and so in the second half we limit those and

1183
00:53:52,960 --> 00:53:54,279
Speaker 1: I was able to figure out a way and Tree

1184
00:53:54,320 --> 00:53:56,840
Speaker 1: Davis obviously did it kind of all by itself for

1185
00:53:56,880 --> 00:53:59,520
Speaker 1: the interception and the peanut punch, and we was able

1186
00:53:59,520 --> 00:54:01,440
Speaker 1: to rally around at the office. Is able to pick

1187
00:54:01,480 --> 00:54:03,480
Speaker 1: it up and obviously finally gotten to the end zone

1188
00:54:03,480 --> 00:54:05,200
Speaker 1: a couple of times, and that made a huge difference

1189
00:54:05,239 --> 00:54:06,719
Speaker 1: as far as its being able to finish off the game.

1190
00:54:08,040 --> 00:54:12,040
Speaker 1: Safety Micah Hyde on his onside kick recovery for a touchdown.

1191
00:54:12,120 --> 00:54:13,719
Speaker 1: I'm really called the ball and I'm just like, yo,

1192
00:54:13,840 --> 00:54:19,120
Speaker 1: there's nobody here touchdown the end zone. Was just like, oh,

1193
00:54:19,480 --> 00:54:22,400
Speaker 1: I'm like I was just I just went tell anybody

1194
00:54:22,480 --> 00:54:26,480
Speaker 1: to are you thinking at all about it? For a second?

1195
00:54:27,120 --> 00:54:29,200
Speaker 1: Literally as I'm running. You can watch the film, I

1196
00:54:29,280 --> 00:54:31,200
Speaker 1: kind of picked to the sunline and was just like, oh, man,

1197
00:54:31,239 --> 00:54:34,839
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's score, uh, but it's it's

1198
00:54:34,880 --> 00:54:36,200

1200
00:54:38,320 --> 00:54:40,520

1201
00:54:41,280 --> 00:54:44,359
Speaker 1: whatever it was? You know to I've seen crazier things

1202
00:54:44,400 --> 00:54:46,160
Speaker 1: in this league for them to come down score another

1203
00:54:46,200 --> 00:54:49,040

1219
00:55:26,400 --> 00:55:28,480
Speaker 1: my chest and I just grabbed it and went down.

1220
00:55:28,600 --> 00:55:31,360
Speaker 1: I could have gotten up, but I thought even at

1221
00:55:31,400 --> 00:55:33,840
Speaker 1: the time, where you know what though, if I got it.

1222
00:55:33,880 --> 00:55:35,560
Speaker 1: It would have been a smart just to run down

1223
00:55:35,640 --> 00:55:38,319
Speaker 1: and run out of bounds up the two yard line. Yeah.

1224
00:55:38,400 --> 00:55:42,040
Speaker 1: And I have thought many times about what I would

1225
00:55:42,040 --> 00:55:43,920
Speaker 1: have done, and I don't know. I don't think I

1226
00:55:43,960 --> 00:55:47,440
Speaker 1: would have probably just gone down. Um, Henry Jones did

1227
00:55:47,520 --> 00:55:49,480
Speaker 1: the last time for the Bills the game in Arizona

1228
00:55:49,560 --> 00:55:51,920
Speaker 1: Sun Devil Stadium. I was on that game, and it's

1229
00:55:52,000 --> 00:55:54,160
Speaker 1: kind of fun when it happens. It's a great athletic

1230
00:55:54,200 --> 00:55:56,719
Speaker 1: play by Micah Hie who really well, here it is

1231
00:55:56,760 --> 00:55:59,279
Speaker 1: Henry Jones here right. Here's what's different now, Steve and

1232
00:55:59,480 --> 00:56:02,560
Speaker 1: people say onside kicks are nearly impossible now because you

1233
00:56:02,640 --> 00:56:05,520
Speaker 1: can't overload one side like the Arizona Cardinals just in

1234
00:56:05,680 --> 00:56:08,440
Speaker 1: on that play. It's amazing they overloaded the side. They

1235
00:56:08,520 --> 00:56:10,560
Speaker 1: kicked it to outside and Henry Jones is on that side.

1236
00:56:10,600 --> 00:56:12,160
Speaker 1: He scoops it up and runs it in where all

1237
00:56:12,200 --> 00:56:17,080
Speaker 1: those guys. Yeah, exactly that there's nobody and I think

1238
00:56:17,120 --> 00:56:20,040
Speaker 1: and we've seen him tinker with the kickoff a lot,

1239
00:56:20,800 --> 00:56:24,240
Speaker 1: uh in the last recent years, moving moving the kickoff spot,

1240
00:56:24,680 --> 00:56:26,920
Speaker 1: making sure the kicking team can't get a running start,

1241
00:56:27,840 --> 00:56:30,000
Speaker 1: making sure there's eight guys toward the ball in the

1242
00:56:30,040 --> 00:56:33,200
Speaker 1: line screams they're gonna do something about that. I think

1243
00:56:33,200 --> 00:56:35,759
Speaker 1: they're gonna get have to make it possible for a

1244
00:56:35,880 --> 00:56:39,320
Speaker 1: desperation for anie kick work for an onside kick to

1245
00:56:39,520 --> 00:56:42,080
Speaker 1: get the right percentage. That's I think that's probably they

1246
00:56:42,160 --> 00:56:45,440
Speaker 1: want one in ten kind of kind of statistic to make.

1247
00:56:45,480 --> 00:56:47,920
Speaker 1: That's kind of tinkering, isn't It is tinkering, But they

1248
00:56:48,480 --> 00:56:50,320
Speaker 1: you know, that's what they do. They want to have

1249
00:56:50,440 --> 00:56:52,040
Speaker 1: a chance. They want to give you a chance. You know,

1250
00:56:52,239 --> 00:56:55,440
Speaker 1: game's not over one score game if you're if you

1251
00:56:55,560 --> 00:57:00,560
Speaker 1: got that momentum. I I like that fourth and twenty idea.

1252
00:57:01,160 --> 00:57:03,960
Speaker 1: What's that the fourth and twenty idea where if say,

1253
00:57:04,000 --> 00:57:06,920
Speaker 1: for instance, yesterday the Dolphins score that is twenty one

1254
00:57:07,080 --> 00:57:09,520
Speaker 1: twenty four and they just you know, they just had

1255
00:57:09,560 --> 00:57:10,960
Speaker 1: that drive to go down and score and get it

1256
00:57:11,040 --> 00:57:14,680
Speaker 1: close and they're three points down, they would have the option,

1257
00:57:14,840 --> 00:57:16,919
Speaker 1: and you would have this option all through the game

1258
00:57:18,400 --> 00:57:20,720
Speaker 1: or maybe just in the fourth quarter or whatever. Under

1259
00:57:20,760 --> 00:57:23,240
Speaker 1: certain circumstances, you would have this opportunity either all the

1260
00:57:23,320 --> 00:57:25,440
Speaker 1: time or in certain circumstances you say, okay, now it's

1261
00:57:25,440 --> 00:57:27,320
Speaker 1: your ball. You can have the option to take the

1262
00:57:27,360 --> 00:57:32,520
Speaker 1: ball again offensively, but it's fourth and fifteen from your

1263
00:57:32,680 --> 00:57:37,040
Speaker 1: thirty yard line, so and you get one shot to

1264
00:57:37,080 --> 00:57:38,920
Speaker 1: get a first down, and then it's first intended you

1265
00:57:38,960 --> 00:57:40,480
Speaker 1: go on. You can keep the ball and keep it rolling.

1266
00:57:40,560 --> 00:57:43,680
Speaker 1: Now it gives the proponents of that say, listen, it

1267
00:57:43,720 --> 00:57:46,120
Speaker 1: gets your stars back on the field. It gets you know,

1268
00:57:46,200 --> 00:57:49,480
Speaker 1: it gets that would be in louven On sidekick. Yeah,

1269
00:57:49,600 --> 00:57:51,200
Speaker 1: I don't know if I like that. It seems kind

1270
00:57:51,200 --> 00:57:53,960
Speaker 1: of artificial. You know what, it's totally artificial, right, but

1271
00:57:54,360 --> 00:57:57,560
Speaker 1: it's not really football. You're making up stuff. No, it's artificial. Yeah,

1272
00:57:57,800 --> 00:57:59,880
Speaker 1: you're right, you're right. That's why you know they're not

1273
00:58:00,080 --> 00:58:03,000
Speaker 1: doing it, and you know you're thinking about it. There

1274
00:58:03,040 --> 00:58:05,400
Speaker 1: are some teams you know, you got a good offense,

1275
00:58:05,720 --> 00:58:08,800
Speaker 1: like the Chiefs. They do it maybe half fifty percent

1276
00:58:08,840 --> 00:58:10,640
Speaker 1: of the time and say we'll take the fourth and fifteen.

1277
00:58:10,680 --> 00:58:12,960
Speaker 1: We'll take it. Let's go. Yeah, it's interesting. I've never

1278
00:58:13,040 --> 00:58:16,400
Speaker 1: heard that before. Where'd you hear that around? Now that's

1279
00:58:16,480 --> 00:58:21,040
Speaker 1: twice you've surprised me today. You're earlier life lesson that.

1280
00:58:21,080 --> 00:58:23,080
Speaker 1: You gave another pretty good week here. I got to

1281
00:58:23,120 --> 00:58:24,720
Speaker 1: write that one down. Yeah, it is a good it

1282
00:58:24,840 --> 00:58:26,280
Speaker 1: is a good week. I actually did write it down

1283
00:58:26,320 --> 00:58:28,960
Speaker 1: just so I wouldn't forget it on the whiteboard behind

1284
00:58:29,000 --> 00:58:30,720
Speaker 1: your desk. You're always put stuff on the white board

1285
00:58:30,760 --> 00:58:32,880
Speaker 1: behind your desk. Hey, what do you think about that game?

1286
00:58:32,920 --> 00:58:35,440
Speaker 1: Your biggest takeaway from the Bills ten point win over

1287
00:58:35,520 --> 00:58:37,560
Speaker 1: the Miami Dolphins. Give us a call eight oh three

1288
00:58:37,600 --> 00:58:40,320
Speaker 1: oh five fifty toll free one eight eight eight five

1289
00:58:40,480 --> 00:58:42,960
Speaker 1: fifty two five fifty, or you can send them a tweet.

1290
00:58:43,000 --> 00:58:45,760
Speaker 1: We can read it on the tweet sheet. Let's go

1291
00:58:45,920 --> 00:58:47,880
Speaker 1: to the phones and see what we got there. Let's

1292
00:58:47,920 --> 00:58:53,080
Speaker 1: go to a Patrick and South Buffalo. Hello, Patrick, Welcome? Patrick?

1293
00:58:53,120 --> 00:58:56,120
Speaker 1: Are you there? Couldn't wait anymore? Let's go to Jim

1294
00:58:56,160 --> 00:58:58,760
Speaker 1: and Buffalo. Hi, Jim, are you there? Yes? I am,

1295
00:58:58,920 --> 00:59:03,240
Speaker 1: go ahead, Jim, yes. Uh. I got a concern about

1296
00:59:03,280 --> 00:59:08,760
Speaker 1: the special teams the fake field goal. It looked like

1297
00:59:08,840 --> 00:59:13,479
Speaker 1: there was no preparation whatsoever at the right hand side

1298
00:59:13,520 --> 00:59:16,320
Speaker 1: of the Miami line. You can see the almost a

1299
00:59:18,360 --> 00:59:22,840
Speaker 1: crease there. Well, yeah, trick play and they got them,

1300
00:59:22,840 --> 00:59:25,200
Speaker 1: There's no question about that. The special teams also produced

1301
00:59:25,240 --> 00:59:27,720
Speaker 1: that touchdown that we talked about a minute ago, like

1302
00:59:27,800 --> 00:59:30,200
Speaker 1: a hide. I don't have major concerns about special teams,

1303
00:59:30,280 --> 00:59:32,840
Speaker 1: you see. Yeah, but I think I get it on

1304
00:59:32,920 --> 00:59:35,280
Speaker 1: the fourth and very short. It was fourth and one.

1305
00:59:35,360 --> 00:59:37,080
Speaker 1: They called it fourth and one. It wasn't fourth and one.

1306
00:59:37,160 --> 00:59:39,840
Speaker 1: It was like fourth and a foot right. I'm I

1307
00:59:39,960 --> 00:59:42,600
Speaker 1: was surprised that Miami was going to kick a field

1308
00:59:42,600 --> 00:59:46,160
Speaker 1: goal there. I would have had some antenna maybe, But

1309
00:59:46,240 --> 00:59:49,080
Speaker 1: if they're gonna do what they did, and we all

1310
00:59:49,160 --> 00:59:53,600
Speaker 1: know how hard it is to stop for me, I

1311
00:59:53,720 --> 00:59:55,439
Speaker 1: put a little bit on the players on the field.

1312
00:59:55,480 --> 00:59:57,880
Speaker 1: You gotta be ready for that. And maybe you know

1313
00:59:59,280 --> 01:00:01,040
Speaker 1: and you say, well, you know, the coaches should have

1314
01:00:01,040 --> 01:00:04,000
Speaker 1: told him listen. I've seen coaches being in a in

1315
01:00:04,120 --> 01:00:09,960
Speaker 1: an onside kick or in a hands team situation and say, listen,

1316
01:00:10,160 --> 01:00:12,320
Speaker 1: you know, stay I stay focused, stay what you're doing.

1317
01:00:12,400 --> 01:00:15,360
Speaker 1: Give him all these hip tip, these pointers and tips

1318
01:00:15,400 --> 01:00:17,400
Speaker 1: and last minute instructions, and then they go out on

1319
01:00:17,440 --> 01:00:19,760
Speaker 1: the field and they don't do any of them, you know.

1320
01:00:20,160 --> 01:00:24,240
Speaker 1: So that play could have been prevented if the edge

1321
01:00:24,320 --> 01:00:27,240
Speaker 1: rusher would have come hard. The edge rusher didn't come

1322
01:00:27,320 --> 01:00:29,440
Speaker 1: hard on that at fake field goal, and the guy

1323
01:00:29,520 --> 01:00:32,480
Speaker 1: got by him. Otherwise he hits him two yards three

1324
01:00:32,560 --> 01:00:34,680
Speaker 1: yards deep in the backfield and the guy doesn't make that.

1325
01:00:34,840 --> 01:00:37,520
Speaker 1: So you got to bring it every play. You gotta

1326
01:00:37,560 --> 01:00:39,720
Speaker 1: rush that. I think you gotta rush that kick. If

1327
01:00:39,760 --> 01:00:42,040
Speaker 1: you rush that kick, somebody's coming off the edge and

1328
01:00:42,080 --> 01:00:43,920
Speaker 1: the guy doesn't make that first down, go ahead. Jim,

1329
01:00:43,960 --> 01:00:46,720
Speaker 1: what did you have? I said, shouldn't the coaches call

1330
01:00:46,800 --> 01:00:49,480
Speaker 1: the time out? And trying to discuss the exactly why

1331
01:00:49,520 --> 01:00:52,400
Speaker 1: would you call a timeout on a field goal attempt? Well,

1332
01:00:52,440 --> 01:00:54,919
Speaker 1: if you look right before that in Miami actually called

1333
01:00:54,960 --> 01:00:57,480
Speaker 1: the time out, Well, why would the Bills call a

1334
01:00:57,560 --> 01:01:01,880
Speaker 1: timeout to go over the possibility of a fake? Well,

1335
01:01:01,880 --> 01:01:05,520
Speaker 1: you're not gonna call it? Well, yeah, you spend all week,

1336
01:01:05,840 --> 01:01:09,480
Speaker 1: you had two of you had two pamounts left there

1337
01:01:09,840 --> 01:01:13,000
Speaker 1: there was Yeah. But but Jim, there's no reason to think,

1338
01:01:14,560 --> 01:01:16,400
Speaker 1: I mean, there's no tip off or anything else to

1339
01:01:16,520 --> 01:01:18,600
Speaker 1: think that something weird's gonna happen. Why would you call

1340
01:01:18,640 --> 01:01:21,479
Speaker 1: a time out in the out of the blue? Maybe

1341
01:01:21,560 --> 01:01:23,800
Speaker 1: what should have happened, Jim? And I'm not saying maybe

1342
01:01:23,840 --> 01:01:25,680
Speaker 1: they did talk about the possibility of a fake, but

1343
01:01:25,800 --> 01:01:28,640
Speaker 1: during the Miami timeout called right before that, it wouldn't

1344
01:01:28,640 --> 01:01:31,680
Speaker 1: surprise me if if heat farwell and they said, hey,

1345
01:01:31,840 --> 01:01:33,560
Speaker 1: make sure you know, keep your eyes over for a fake.

1346
01:01:33,600 --> 01:01:35,520
Speaker 1: It's fourth and was a fourth and one? Or yeah,

1347
01:01:35,520 --> 01:01:37,120
Speaker 1: fourth and one? Oh you mean, oh, I see what

1348
01:01:37,200 --> 01:01:39,480
Speaker 1: you mean, Jim. You think because Miami called a timeout,

1349
01:01:39,560 --> 01:01:41,200
Speaker 1: you think that tipped you off that they were going

1350
01:01:41,240 --> 01:01:44,080
Speaker 1: to run a fake. Maybe, but if they're going to

1351
01:01:44,160 --> 01:01:46,040
Speaker 1: do that, you can do it during their time out.

1352
01:01:46,120 --> 01:01:48,640
Speaker 1: You think that, you know, you you use their time

1353
01:01:48,680 --> 01:01:51,040
Speaker 1: out to tell your team watch out for the fake. Well,

1354
01:01:51,080 --> 01:01:53,200
Speaker 1: they might have been going over. Okay, you got this guy,

1355
01:01:53,280 --> 01:01:55,560
Speaker 1: you got, you got. Yeah, they might have been. They

1356
01:01:55,640 --> 01:01:57,880
Speaker 1: might have been, they should have been. Yeah, and we

1357
01:01:57,960 --> 01:02:01,560
Speaker 1: gotta we gotta basically a first year of special team's coach. Now, well,

1358
01:02:01,600 --> 01:02:04,040
Speaker 1: first year coordinator, he's not a first year special teams coach,

1359
01:02:04,080 --> 01:02:06,240
Speaker 1: but yeah, I get it. And listen, they're learning some

1360
01:02:06,320 --> 01:02:09,800
Speaker 1: hard lessons. We've seen it. We've seen it. Yeah, thanks Jim.

1361
01:02:09,920 --> 01:02:13,520
Speaker 1: Let's go to Bill and South Buffalo. Go ahead, Bill, listen,

1362
01:02:13,600 --> 01:02:16,880
Speaker 1: I think about a play calling the first play of

1363
01:02:16,960 --> 01:02:19,160
Speaker 1: the game, Frank Core goes up in the middle for

1364
01:02:19,320 --> 01:02:22,440
Speaker 1: eight yards. Did we get away from that? Yeah, you know,

1365
01:02:22,480 --> 01:02:25,000
Speaker 1: it's an interesting question. And actually we talked in our

1366
01:02:25,080 --> 01:02:27,640
Speaker 1: booth the on and off the year about how the

1367
01:02:27,840 --> 01:02:30,040
Speaker 1: maybe early on, early in the first half in particular,

1368
01:02:30,080 --> 01:02:32,320
Speaker 1: they were they a little too cute offensively, Steve maybe

1369
01:02:32,440 --> 01:02:34,080
Speaker 1: with some of the play calls just oh, I don't know,

1370
01:02:34,200 --> 01:02:38,080
Speaker 1: maybe the first play of the game was for eight years. Yeah,

1371
01:02:38,160 --> 01:02:41,800
Speaker 1: I know, I know, Yeah, we'll get it. I get it.

1372
01:02:42,000 --> 01:02:44,560
Speaker 1: I get it. And they have the benefit of hindsight too.

1373
01:02:44,800 --> 01:02:47,400
Speaker 1: Frank Frank or had some nice runs in that first half.

1374
01:02:47,440 --> 01:02:51,520
Speaker 1: He really did. What's that, Bill, I was screaming at

1375
01:02:51,600 --> 01:02:55,520
Speaker 1: my TV, why will they run the ball? Run the ball? Well,

1376
01:02:55,600 --> 01:02:58,360
Speaker 1: here's the thing, Jill, and I'm telling you this right now,

1377
01:02:58,400 --> 01:03:00,440
Speaker 1: and I know he doesn't feel like this to you,

1378
01:03:01,560 --> 01:03:03,520
Speaker 1: but there are also some runs where Frank Gore got

1379
01:03:03,640 --> 01:03:05,840
Speaker 1: stuffed for a two yard gain and a one yard game.

1380
01:03:06,200 --> 01:03:08,320
Speaker 1: So it wasn't like they were running eight yards every

1381
01:03:08,360 --> 01:03:12,000
Speaker 1: time he touched the football and they just stopped doing it.

1382
01:03:12,160 --> 01:03:15,000
Speaker 1: He got stopped as many times for one and two

1383
01:03:15,080 --> 01:03:17,600
Speaker 1: yard game as he did have eight yard runs. So

1384
01:03:18,280 --> 01:03:20,240
Speaker 1: there's all of that too. So I know it feels

1385
01:03:20,280 --> 01:03:21,840
Speaker 1: like they got away from it. But when you go

1386
01:03:21,920 --> 01:03:24,640
Speaker 1: back and look at it, and he watched it on film,

1387
01:03:24,720 --> 01:03:27,200
Speaker 1: and they were running the football a lot, and they

1388
01:03:27,280 --> 01:03:29,560
Speaker 1: tried to. But when you go down and it's second

1389
01:03:29,640 --> 01:03:32,960
Speaker 1: and nine or a second and ten, and all of

1390
01:03:33,000 --> 01:03:36,360
Speaker 1: a sudden, you know it's now it's third and ten

1391
01:03:36,800 --> 01:03:39,560
Speaker 1: because he got stopped short, or third and nine because

1392
01:03:39,560 --> 01:03:41,320
Speaker 1: he got stopped on a one yard run. You're not

1393
01:03:41,360 --> 01:03:43,760
Speaker 1: going to go back to those plays very much. So

1394
01:03:43,880 --> 01:03:46,720
Speaker 1: I know it feels like every time Frank Gore got

1395
01:03:46,800 --> 01:03:48,480
Speaker 1: the ball early in the game he was running for

1396
01:03:48,600 --> 01:03:51,160
Speaker 1: nine and ten and twelve yards. It's not quite the case.

1397
01:03:51,520 --> 01:03:53,640
Speaker 1: There as many runs in there for one and two yards.

1398
01:03:53,720 --> 01:03:55,320
Speaker 1: There were eight and nine, So I know it doesn't

1399
01:03:55,360 --> 01:03:57,240
Speaker 1: feel like that, but trust me, that's the way it was.

1400
01:03:57,360 --> 01:03:59,560
Speaker 1: Thanks for your call. Let's go to time and West Seneca. Hello,

1401
01:03:59,640 --> 01:04:03,560
Speaker 1: Time go John Steve. Thanks for having me appreciate it.

1402
01:04:04,480 --> 01:04:08,640
Speaker 1: I was really impressed with the game yesterday that my

1403
01:04:08,800 --> 01:04:12,000
Speaker 1: takeaways from it were that I was always a big

1404
01:04:12,080 --> 01:04:15,240
Speaker 1: fan of Josh Allen from day one. He impresses me

1405
01:04:15,400 --> 01:04:18,840
Speaker 1: more every week, and he gets the job done. These

1406
01:04:18,960 --> 01:04:23,040
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills they hang in their like terriers until they

1407
01:04:23,120 --> 01:04:29,000
Speaker 1: get the job done. If there's any constructive criticism to

1408
01:04:29,120 --> 01:04:31,560
Speaker 1: be doled out, it ain't going to be by me.

1409
01:04:32,360 --> 01:04:36,120
Speaker 1: It'll be by coach McDermott and coach McDermott is a

1410
01:04:36,240 --> 01:04:40,640
Speaker 1: kind of coach that could dole it out, but it

1411
01:04:41,040 --> 01:04:44,760
Speaker 1: just tough love. It has to be tempered and think

1412
01:04:45,040 --> 01:04:49,320
Speaker 1: I think coach McDermott made beautiful adjustments in the seconds

1413
01:04:49,760 --> 01:04:53,960
Speaker 1: for the second half, and I couldn't have been more

1414
01:04:54,000 --> 01:04:56,480
Speaker 1: impressed with the team. It's a team that hangs in

1415
01:04:56,560 --> 01:05:02,640
Speaker 1: their like terriers and everybody. They win games, all right, Tom,

1416
01:05:02,760 --> 01:05:04,640
Speaker 1: And I agree with you in this sense. I am

1417
01:05:04,680 --> 01:05:07,480
Speaker 1: impressed with how they hang in there and make adjustments

1418
01:05:07,520 --> 01:05:10,160
Speaker 1: and win games right five of the first six. I'm

1419
01:05:10,160 --> 01:05:13,800
Speaker 1: impressed by their resilience. I'm impressed by their ability to

1420
01:05:13,840 --> 01:05:16,400
Speaker 1: come back. What was that Josh Allen's fifth fourth quarter

1421
01:05:16,520 --> 01:05:19,680
Speaker 1: comeback in his brief NFL career so far. There's a

1422
01:05:19,720 --> 01:05:21,800
Speaker 1: lot to like about that. But I also get the

1423
01:05:21,880 --> 01:05:23,560
Speaker 1: other side. You know, they could have played better, They

1424
01:05:23,600 --> 01:05:26,600
Speaker 1: should have played better, and that's the beautiful thing for

1425
01:05:26,640 --> 01:05:28,480
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott, Steve, he will get to work on that

1426
01:05:28,640 --> 01:05:31,560
Speaker 1: probably as we speak immediately. What do you think. I

1427
01:05:31,680 --> 01:05:34,320
Speaker 1: agree that they're gonna have to get better and more consistent,

1428
01:05:34,480 --> 01:05:35,960
Speaker 1: and I think they want to get out to a

1429
01:05:36,040 --> 01:05:38,600
Speaker 1: faster start no question about it. I think we saw

1430
01:05:38,640 --> 01:05:40,960
Speaker 1: it early in the season. Now, teams know this as well.

1431
01:05:40,960 --> 01:05:43,280
Speaker 1: When he got a young quarterback, and particularly one who

1432
01:05:43,320 --> 01:05:45,120
Speaker 1: you consistently try and do this with. They're trying to

1433
01:05:45,160 --> 01:05:47,880
Speaker 1: give Josh Allen some easy completions early in these games.

1434
01:05:48,120 --> 01:05:49,880
Speaker 1: They're trying to get the football out and I think

1435
01:05:50,040 --> 01:05:53,439
Speaker 1: yesterday you saw a counter to that for the Buffalo Bills.

1436
01:05:53,480 --> 01:05:55,880
Speaker 1: Teams were starting to get ready for that they had.

1437
01:05:56,000 --> 01:05:59,720
Speaker 1: They just had quarterback runs. They put the ball in

1438
01:05:59,760 --> 01:06:02,240
Speaker 1: his hand and he snapped one off for ten yards,

1439
01:06:02,600 --> 01:06:05,120
Speaker 1: then he pulled it down and ran for fourteen yards.

1440
01:06:05,200 --> 01:06:09,320
Speaker 1: They're making sure teams know that the Bill's quarterback is

1441
01:06:09,360 --> 01:06:11,240
Speaker 1: going to pull it down and run, and they got

1442
01:06:11,320 --> 01:06:15,120
Speaker 1: to do it. They did that student body right play

1443
01:06:15,160 --> 01:06:17,600
Speaker 1: again where they got two offensive lineman Frank Gore and

1444
01:06:17,720 --> 01:06:19,280
Speaker 1: a tight end out in front of him and then

1445
01:06:19,360 --> 01:06:23,240
Speaker 1: they roll. That's hard to get stopped. The offensive line

1446
01:06:23,240 --> 01:06:25,120
Speaker 1: that they have up in front of Josh Allen's really

1447
01:06:25,200 --> 01:06:29,040
Speaker 1: athletic now, and I think you're seeing the Bills get

1448
01:06:29,080 --> 01:06:30,720
Speaker 1: a lot of things on tape and do a lot

1449
01:06:30,760 --> 01:06:32,440
Speaker 1: of things we haven't seen them do very much, or

1450
01:06:32,520 --> 01:06:37,880
Speaker 1: in certain situations we're seeing him do it in more situations. Now,

1451
01:06:38,080 --> 01:06:42,040
Speaker 1: they're starting to give teams more to think about, particularly

1452
01:06:42,040 --> 01:06:43,640
Speaker 1: in the run game. And I was really shocked at

1453
01:06:43,680 --> 01:06:46,160
Speaker 1: how many times they just flat called Josh Allen's number

1454
01:06:46,200 --> 01:06:49,000
Speaker 1: to tuck it under his arm and run. It happened

1455
01:06:49,000 --> 01:06:51,400
Speaker 1: a lot early, and I think you couple that with

1456
01:06:51,480 --> 01:06:53,840
Speaker 1: the desire to get him some easy completions and the

1457
01:06:53,960 --> 01:06:57,360
Speaker 1: desire to let the defense know that they better watch

1458
01:06:57,400 --> 01:06:59,520
Speaker 1: out their quarterback. Your quarterback's gonna tuck it and run.

1459
01:07:00,080 --> 01:07:02,080
Speaker 1: I think a lot of that happens because they want

1460
01:07:02,080 --> 01:07:04,000
Speaker 1: to tell the defense things and they want to see

1461
01:07:04,040 --> 01:07:06,360
Speaker 1: how a defense reacts. If the defense is going to

1462
01:07:06,400 --> 01:07:08,040
Speaker 1: come out and play man to man on the bills,

1463
01:07:08,560 --> 01:07:10,720
Speaker 1: they're gonna have a quarterback running the football and chasing

1464
01:07:10,760 --> 01:07:14,480
Speaker 1: the dbs down the field when their backs turned. If

1465
01:07:14,520 --> 01:07:16,440
Speaker 1: they want to drop back in zone, they're gonna have

1466
01:07:16,440 --> 01:07:19,360
Speaker 1: a quarterback that's going to take some easy completions. Uh.

1467
01:07:19,480 --> 01:07:21,400
Speaker 1: If they want to, you know, come in and back

1468
01:07:21,480 --> 01:07:23,840
Speaker 1: off or not put eight in the box, Frank Gore

1469
01:07:23,920 --> 01:07:26,200
Speaker 1: is gonna go for a snap off eight yards off tackle.

1470
01:07:26,600 --> 01:07:28,960
Speaker 1: So they've got to have a lot of answers. The

1471
01:07:29,120 --> 01:07:32,000
Speaker 1: question is can they get those answers in place pre

1472
01:07:32,160 --> 01:07:34,120
Speaker 1: snap and get the ball off and get that have

1473
01:07:34,280 --> 01:07:36,280
Speaker 1: the play they need to run against the defensive front

1474
01:07:36,280 --> 01:07:39,000
Speaker 1: they're getting and that's up to Josh. So I think

1475
01:07:39,040 --> 01:07:41,200
Speaker 1: they're showing a lot of things. They're doing a lot

1476
01:07:41,240 --> 01:07:43,880
Speaker 1: of things offensively that we haven't been able. We never

1477
01:07:44,000 --> 01:07:47,040
Speaker 1: saw last year, of course, and now this year. I

1478
01:07:47,160 --> 01:07:49,480
Speaker 1: think you're seeing a lot more variety in their play selection.

1479
01:07:50,080 --> 01:07:51,560
Speaker 1: No question, a lot of those plays. Some of those

1480
01:07:51,600 --> 01:07:54,280
Speaker 1: plays don't work. Not all of them are gonna work,

1481
01:07:55,000 --> 01:07:58,120
Speaker 1: but you're seeing some innovation I think from this offense

1482
01:07:58,200 --> 01:08:01,160
Speaker 1: and the play selection. It gives defenses a lot to

1483
01:08:01,200 --> 01:08:04,640
Speaker 1: think about, even though they're not all working. Take one

1484
01:08:04,680 --> 01:08:06,480
Speaker 1: more call in this segment and we will go to

1485
01:08:08,200 --> 01:08:10,520
Speaker 1: Frank in Buffalo. Frank, welcome to the show. You're on

1486
01:08:10,560 --> 01:08:13,040
Speaker 1: the air with this. Hey guys, how you doing okay?

1487
01:08:13,120 --> 01:08:17,439
Speaker 1: Doing good? Listen? I'm happy to build your five on

1488
01:08:17,560 --> 01:08:21,439
Speaker 1: one And I like Josh Allen. I think he's going

1489
01:08:21,520 --> 01:08:24,000
Speaker 1: to really be something in this league. But the part

1490
01:08:24,120 --> 01:08:27,800
Speaker 1: that bothers me, how do you have a week off

1491
01:08:28,520 --> 01:08:30,639
Speaker 1: and come out and look like that you can pull

1492
01:08:30,640 --> 01:08:33,800
Speaker 1: it off the field. Well, they didn't boot themselves off

1493
01:08:33,800 --> 01:08:36,800
Speaker 1: the field obviously, but you know it's it's interesting quote

1494
01:08:36,840 --> 01:08:39,120
Speaker 1: from I think it was Lorenzo Alexander and I think

1495
01:08:39,120 --> 01:08:41,360
Speaker 1: I read it this morning in the Buffalo News when

1496
01:08:41,400 --> 01:08:43,439
Speaker 1: he talked about how your eyes are a little slower

1497
01:08:43,520 --> 01:08:45,080
Speaker 1: when you come off a week like that, and it

1498
01:08:45,160 --> 01:08:47,439
Speaker 1: took him a while to get to get up to speed. Look,

1499
01:08:47,439 --> 01:08:48,760
Speaker 1: they're not going to be perfect coming out of the

1500
01:08:48,840 --> 01:08:51,360
Speaker 1: bye and they weren't anywhere clothing weren't anywhere close to

1501
01:08:51,400 --> 01:08:53,760
Speaker 1: being perfect yesterday. But it was just an interesting take.

1502
01:08:53,800 --> 01:08:56,840
Speaker 1: I've never heard expressed like this before. Lorenzo said this

1503
01:08:56,960 --> 01:08:58,639
Speaker 1: eve about how you know, you get the week off,

1504
01:08:58,720 --> 01:09:00,519
Speaker 1: you relax a little bit the week off, and when

1505
01:09:00,560 --> 01:09:02,719
Speaker 1: you come out there to play, your eyes are slower,

1506
01:09:02,760 --> 01:09:04,680
Speaker 1: you're not reacting as quickly to what you're seeing. I

1507
01:09:04,720 --> 01:09:07,160
Speaker 1: think it was Lorenzo said that maybe it was somebody else.

1508
01:09:07,760 --> 01:09:10,920
Speaker 1: It's not an excuse, but you know, it's explanation maybe

1509
01:09:10,960 --> 01:09:13,080
Speaker 1: for your question, Frank, which is a valid question. Yeah,

1510
01:09:13,120 --> 01:09:15,040
Speaker 1: it's nothing to be happy about, that's for sure. They

1511
01:09:15,120 --> 01:09:18,280
Speaker 1: did not come out and play a solid of football,

1512
01:09:18,320 --> 01:09:20,479
Speaker 1: particularly on the defensive side, as we've seen him play,

1513
01:09:20,560 --> 01:09:22,960
Speaker 1: particularly against the Miami Dolphins. But let's face it too,

1514
01:09:23,240 --> 01:09:25,400
Speaker 1: the Miami Dolphins worth the same Miami Dolphins that went

1515
01:09:25,439 --> 01:09:29,519
Speaker 1: out and got shellacked in the first couple of weeks

1516
01:09:29,560 --> 01:09:32,519
Speaker 1: of the season and have our winless And the good

1517
01:09:32,680 --> 01:09:34,680
Speaker 1: best football they've played have been in the last six

1518
01:09:34,800 --> 01:09:38,000
Speaker 1: quarters of their season, the last or the last five quarters,

1519
01:09:38,080 --> 01:09:40,800
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter of the Washington game when Fitzpatrick brought

1520
01:09:40,880 --> 01:09:44,439
Speaker 1: him back from two touchdowns down almost win it. And

1521
01:09:44,560 --> 01:09:46,840
Speaker 1: then this last game, the four quarters they put against

1522
01:09:46,840 --> 01:09:50,240
Speaker 1: Buffalo where they lost by ten. Those were the best games,

1523
01:09:50,360 --> 01:09:52,599
Speaker 1: the best quarters of football you've seen out of the Dolphins.

1524
01:09:52,640 --> 01:09:54,040
Speaker 1: And I don't think the Bill You're right, I don't

1525
01:09:54,040 --> 01:09:55,760
Speaker 1: think the Bills were quite ready for the speed and

1526
01:09:55,840 --> 01:09:58,400
Speaker 1: the and the intensity the Dolphins showed. I was, and

1527
01:09:58,560 --> 01:10:00,680
Speaker 1: so was I. I was surprised by Let's say, if

1528
01:10:00,680 --> 01:10:02,800
Speaker 1: you tweets here, let's go to the tweet sheet brought

1529
01:10:02,800 --> 01:10:06,200
Speaker 1: to you by Corrigan Moving Systems, the official movers of

1530
01:10:06,280 --> 01:10:08,040
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bill. See why don't you get it started

1531
01:10:08,040 --> 01:10:09,960
Speaker 1: with the tweet here? Would you please? Tiffany? She says,

1532
01:10:10,000 --> 01:10:14,120
Speaker 1: Trey White's an elite playmaker. The question is biggest takeaway

1533
01:10:14,120 --> 01:10:16,160
Speaker 1: from the Bills thirty one, twenty one win over the Dolphins.

1534
01:10:16,560 --> 01:10:19,439
Speaker 1: Trey White is an elite playmaker. He and Jordan Phillips

1535
01:10:19,520 --> 01:10:21,920
Speaker 1: turned around a game that in the past would have

1536
01:10:21,960 --> 01:10:24,240
Speaker 1: gotten away from us, most likely ending in a loss.

1537
01:10:24,280 --> 01:10:26,959
Speaker 1: Our GM has built a solid roster with a potential

1538
01:10:27,080 --> 01:10:30,800
Speaker 1: to make a playoff run this season. Go Bills and

1539
01:10:30,880 --> 01:10:33,320
Speaker 1: I agree that the play that Jordan Phillips made on

1540
01:10:33,400 --> 01:10:36,040
Speaker 1: a first and ten on the bill two yard line,

1541
01:10:36,120 --> 01:10:40,080
Speaker 1: Bill's two yard line, he comes out, sacks Ryan Fitzpatrielle

1542
01:10:40,120 --> 01:10:42,120
Speaker 1: tackles him for a loss didn't count as a sack,

1543
01:10:42,600 --> 01:10:47,640
Speaker 1: tackles him for a loss back to the twelve. And

1544
01:10:47,840 --> 01:10:51,040
Speaker 1: then on the next play, Tradavious White steps in front

1545
01:10:51,840 --> 01:10:54,280
Speaker 1: of a pass, picks it off first and ten for

1546
01:10:54,360 --> 01:10:56,560
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills from their own two yard line, and the

1547
01:10:56,640 --> 01:10:58,840
Speaker 1: Bill's answer with a ninety eight really the drive of

1548
01:10:58,880 --> 01:11:01,080
Speaker 1: the game. Sure, it went from being a seven point

1549
01:11:02,479 --> 01:11:04,960
Speaker 1: a touchdown for the Miami Dolphins to a touchdown for

1550
01:11:04,960 --> 01:11:07,840
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills over the course of the next fourteen plays,

1551
01:11:07,880 --> 01:11:10,479
Speaker 1: twelve for the Buffalo's offense and the two plays one

1552
01:11:10,520 --> 01:11:13,840
Speaker 1: from Jordan Phillips and one from Tredavious White. Those fourteen plays,

1553
01:11:13,880 --> 01:11:18,160
Speaker 1: I think that was the game and what a turnaround

1554
01:11:18,200 --> 01:11:22,400
Speaker 1: it was, you know, and so I yeah, I'm totally

1555
01:11:22,439 --> 01:11:26,919
Speaker 1: with you. This roster is deep. They don't They're resilient

1556
01:11:27,120 --> 01:11:31,040
Speaker 1: and they play hard. I mean they the defense didn't

1557
01:11:31,040 --> 01:11:32,960
Speaker 1: give up even though on their best day or on

1558
01:11:33,000 --> 01:11:37,880
Speaker 1: their worst day, they had enough to win one more

1559
01:11:37,920 --> 01:11:40,479
Speaker 1: from the tweet sheet here from Seth, he says the

1560
01:11:40,720 --> 01:11:43,599
Speaker 1: entire team looks sluggish in the first half. Defense could

1561
01:11:43,640 --> 01:11:46,960
Speaker 1: not stop the run. Wallace was getting beaten consistently, virtually

1562
01:11:47,439 --> 01:11:51,200
Speaker 1: zero pressure. Unfits seventeen. Josh Allen played solid, had some

1563
01:11:51,560 --> 01:11:53,880
Speaker 1: key drops, but the kid has clutch. Need to play

1564
01:11:54,000 --> 01:11:56,519
Speaker 1: much better going forward. Let's go Buffalo. I agree with

1565
01:11:56,600 --> 01:11:58,280
Speaker 1: that last part. They do need to play much better

1566
01:11:58,320 --> 01:12:00,920
Speaker 1: going forward. The schedule will get tougher. But look, if

1567
01:12:00,960 --> 01:12:02,680
Speaker 1: you can play not your best and come up with

1568
01:12:02,760 --> 01:12:04,800
Speaker 1: a win, you take that, put it in the bank

1569
01:12:04,840 --> 01:12:07,479
Speaker 1: and say thank you very much. Right, you know, that's

1570
01:12:07,520 --> 01:12:10,559
Speaker 1: exactly right. And they didn't play well and they still won.

1571
01:12:13,520 --> 01:12:16,519
Speaker 1: A lot to be happy about about this season. But

1572
01:12:16,920 --> 01:12:20,200
Speaker 1: I think there's no question we haven't seen, we haven't

1573
01:12:20,200 --> 01:12:22,280
Speaker 1: gotten the feeling about this team, and I mean us,

1574
01:12:22,439 --> 01:12:25,040
Speaker 1: you know, even the fens in Buffalo and around the

1575
01:12:25,080 --> 01:12:27,120
Speaker 1: country that cheer hard for this team and who live

1576
01:12:27,200 --> 01:12:31,800
Speaker 1: and die with it. We're not like saying, hey, man,

1577
01:12:31,920 --> 01:12:34,000
Speaker 1: we are going this is our year. We're you know,

1578
01:12:34,040 --> 01:12:37,559
Speaker 1: we're knocking people out. We're Our defense has played stellar's

1579
01:12:37,560 --> 01:12:40,679
Speaker 1: a top three defense in the league, and our offense

1580
01:12:40,720 --> 01:12:43,080
Speaker 1: has shown flashes of doing some really good things. You know,

1581
01:12:43,120 --> 01:12:44,920
Speaker 1: if I look back to the four minute drill in

1582
01:12:44,960 --> 01:12:47,680
Speaker 1: Tennessee against a really good defense and the things that

1583
01:12:47,760 --> 01:12:51,559
Speaker 1: they've done offensively, the run game, the weapons we found

1584
01:12:51,600 --> 01:12:55,600
Speaker 1: in Dawson Knox and John Brown, Cole Beasley and and

1585
01:12:55,880 --> 01:12:58,040
Speaker 1: Devin Singletary, and there's a lot to be excited about.

1586
01:12:58,040 --> 01:12:59,880
Speaker 1: But this isn't a team yet where any of us

1587
01:13:00,280 --> 01:13:03,320
Speaker 1: are sitting here thinking, man, we are we are a juggernaut,

1588
01:13:03,600 --> 01:13:05,960
Speaker 1: you know, we are. We are our team and forget

1589
01:13:06,040 --> 01:13:08,120
Speaker 1: you know about saying, hey, our offense and score. Our

1590
01:13:08,200 --> 01:13:11,080
Speaker 1: team you know, just hasn't been one of those teams.

1591
01:13:11,080 --> 01:13:13,960
Speaker 1: So we've dominated people, right, we haven't had a shutout

1592
01:13:14,040 --> 01:13:18,439
Speaker 1: yet on the scoreboard. Defensively, our offense just scored thirty

1593
01:13:18,479 --> 01:13:21,080
Speaker 1: one points for the first time yesterday and six of

1594
01:13:21,160 --> 01:13:23,360
Speaker 1: that was an onside or seven of it was from

1595
01:13:23,360 --> 01:13:26,080
Speaker 1: an onside kick recovery. So it's not like the offense

1596
01:13:26,120 --> 01:13:28,120
Speaker 1: has really, you know, rung it up on some people.

1597
01:13:28,160 --> 01:13:31,280
Speaker 1: They scored twenty eight against the Giants. But you know,

1598
01:13:31,360 --> 01:13:34,439
Speaker 1: we're not sitting here as a team saying, wow, we're

1599
01:13:34,920 --> 01:13:37,800
Speaker 1: there's no stopping us, right right. Nobody believes that. Right,

1600
01:13:37,800 --> 01:13:39,639
Speaker 1: nobody believes that. So I think you know, when you talk,

1601
01:13:39,720 --> 01:13:42,280
Speaker 1: get to that point. We got a lot of growth

1602
01:13:42,360 --> 01:13:47,280
Speaker 1: to do, but hey, we're a tough out. Yeah, we're

1603
01:13:47,400 --> 01:13:50,920
Speaker 1: tough to beat. But for anybody, and don't think that

1604
01:13:51,000 --> 01:13:52,840
Speaker 1: there's people around the league saying, day the Bills are

1605
01:13:52,880 --> 01:13:54,800
Speaker 1: doing it with smoking mirrors. They're not. They got a

1606
01:13:54,880 --> 01:13:57,519
Speaker 1: really good defense and an offense that's got a lot

1607
01:13:57,560 --> 01:13:59,880
Speaker 1: of things going for it in a playmaking quarterback that

1608
01:14:00,880 --> 01:14:04,040
Speaker 1: clut that's clutch, and he's one throwaway from beating you

1609
01:14:04,080 --> 01:14:07,559
Speaker 1: on any given throw. So I'm he's an athlete, big,

1610
01:14:07,680 --> 01:14:10,680
Speaker 1: huge athletic guy with a strong arm who's getting better. Man.

1611
01:14:10,720 --> 01:14:13,600
Speaker 1: That's pretty scary combination. Yep, A long way to go,

1612
01:14:13,800 --> 01:14:15,200
Speaker 1: a long long way to go to the season. We

1613
01:14:15,280 --> 01:14:17,080
Speaker 1: got a little bit more to go on the show

1614
01:14:17,160 --> 01:14:18,840
Speaker 1: for another hour and a half and we're gonna be

Speaker 1: So we start talking to see about the game and

Speaker 1: talking to keep them. People are staying high and all that,

1632
01:15:15,560 --> 01:15:21,000
Speaker 1: and they're staying high to see me right. We're walking

1633
01:15:21,040 --> 01:15:23,800
Speaker 1: along and down on the ground. No where was it?

1634
01:15:24,000 --> 01:15:26,479
Speaker 1: Was it on the ground? Yeah? It was it on

1635
01:15:26,520 --> 01:15:28,760
Speaker 1: the ground. Was an insect, a praying mantis. You know

1636
01:15:28,800 --> 01:15:32,880
Speaker 1: what it? Right? I do? Okay, let's pring is long.

1637
01:15:33,160 --> 01:15:35,599
Speaker 1: The thing is huge. It's the biggest praying manas I've

1638
01:15:35,600 --> 01:15:37,479
Speaker 1: ever seen. So I kind of it was gonna get

1639
01:15:37,520 --> 01:15:39,200
Speaker 1: stepped on. So I scoop it up, and the thing

1640
01:15:39,280 --> 01:15:41,800
Speaker 1: crawls up my arm and ends up just kind of

1641
01:15:41,880 --> 01:15:43,960
Speaker 1: hanging on to me. I walk around on the sidelines

1642
01:15:44,040 --> 01:15:47,280
Speaker 1: for ten or fifteen minutes. I got this enormous insect

1643
01:15:47,400 --> 01:15:51,160
Speaker 1: on me. It was a like National geographic taking place

1644
01:15:51,240 --> 01:15:53,080
Speaker 1: on the side. Right, It was like Amazon, this thing

1645
01:15:53,720 --> 01:15:57,400
Speaker 1: praying mantis on the back of Steve Task. If the flappings,

1646
01:15:57,400 --> 01:15:59,280
Speaker 1: I would have had to like anchor myself to get

1647
01:15:59,360 --> 01:16:01,240
Speaker 1: the Were you in any danger at all? I don't

1648
01:16:01,280 --> 01:16:04,559
Speaker 1: think so. Apparently not. But it was kind of because

1649
01:16:04,600 --> 01:16:06,479
Speaker 1: it's such a big bug. People think it was like

1650
01:16:06,600 --> 01:16:08,920
Speaker 1: a bubble. People think it was like some sort of

1651
01:16:09,000 --> 01:16:12,160
Speaker 1: jewelry or something. Yeah, that's a great looking It was

1652

1670
01:16:57,160 --> 01:17:01,360
Speaker 1: very superficial. And I told you were him both. I

1678
01:17:19,200 --> 01:17:21,639
Speaker 1: don't agree with everybody, anybody. You and I don't agree.

1679
01:17:21,720 --> 01:17:23,760
Speaker 1: That's right. We don't talk about so yeah, you just

1680
01:17:23,840 --> 01:17:26,000
Speaker 1: don't talk about it. I talked about the weather in football.

1681
01:17:26,640 --> 01:17:28,840
Speaker 1: That's what kind of what you and I right to

1682
01:17:28,920 --> 01:17:31,720
Speaker 1: do that. Maddie. We bring you out here to talk

1683
01:17:31,840 --> 01:17:33,840
Speaker 1: not about the weather, but about football and give me

1684
01:17:33,880 --> 01:17:35,880
Speaker 1: your impressions to First of all, Maddie is the host

1685
01:17:35,920 --> 01:17:37,680
Speaker 1: of Bills Tonight. You did the show last night with

1686
01:17:37,800 --> 01:17:40,720
Speaker 1: the Frank Jackson immediately after the game. Right right after

1687
01:17:40,840 --> 01:17:43,840
Speaker 1: the game, we kind of wait until coach McDermott goes

1688
01:17:43,960 --> 01:17:47,200
Speaker 1: live from the podium and we chime right in, uh,

1689
01:17:48,000 --> 01:17:49,720
Speaker 1: talk about the game for a quick second, throw it

1690
01:17:49,760 --> 01:17:52,200
Speaker 1: over to coach McDermot. We've got Josh Allen on some

1691
01:17:52,360 --> 01:17:56,080
Speaker 1: other postgame locker rooms sounds, so it's a nice quick

1692
01:17:56,160 --> 01:18:00,240
Speaker 1: way to relive the game here Fred Jackson's comments, which

1693
01:18:00,240 --> 01:18:03,040
Speaker 1: are always good. And then we also do a version

1694
01:18:03,240 --> 01:18:06,280
Speaker 1: for MSG which airs at eleven thirty. And then also

1695
01:18:06,400 --> 01:18:10,000
Speaker 1: throughout the week. That is a longer version. Yeah, yeah, sos,

1696
01:18:10,960 --> 01:18:13,720
Speaker 1: we do two versions yet week, so yep, so we

1697
01:18:13,800 --> 01:18:15,360
Speaker 1: do one with a lot more highlights, one with a

1698
01:18:15,400 --> 01:18:19,160
Speaker 1: lot more postgames sound, a lot more analysis. So Mandy

1699
01:18:19,240 --> 01:18:22,479
Speaker 1: is also a co host of Bill's Field Pass, which

1700
01:18:22,560 --> 01:18:23,960
Speaker 1: is coming up again this week and they've done a

1701
01:18:24,000 --> 01:18:26,559
Speaker 1: couple of them Chris Brown and Maddy glab The best

1702
01:18:26,600 --> 01:18:29,360
Speaker 1: way to prepare for kickoff a pregame show, Yeah, live

1703
01:18:29,439 --> 01:18:31,599
Speaker 1: from the field when no one else can be there live. Yeah,

1704
01:18:31,680 --> 01:18:34,240
Speaker 1: it's pretty awesome. Yeah, what time do you do it? Like? Twelve? Yeah,

1705
01:18:34,280 --> 01:18:37,320
Speaker 1: we go twelve fifteen, about maybe a little bit before then,

1706
01:18:37,439 --> 01:18:41,160
Speaker 1: depending on what the show's looking like from a content standpoint.

1707
01:18:41,240 --> 01:18:43,599
Speaker 1: But there's always one player that's got to run through

1708
01:18:43,640 --> 01:18:46,040
Speaker 1: the shot because it is in the middle of warm up,

1709
01:18:46,120 --> 01:18:48,800
Speaker 1: so balls are flying around, people are running around. But

1710
01:18:48,880 --> 01:18:52,000
Speaker 1: it's always fun and we usually have a former player

1711
01:18:52,080 --> 01:18:54,400
Speaker 1: who is at the game or someone special on the

1712
01:18:54,479 --> 01:18:56,439
Speaker 1: sideline that we do an interview with another one coming

1713
01:18:56,520 --> 01:18:58,120
Speaker 1: up this Sunday. Yeah, we'll talk more about that as

1714
01:18:58,160 --> 01:18:59,800
Speaker 1: we move forward here, but Maddy is here. We'll first

1715
01:18:59,800 --> 01:19:01,720
Speaker 1: get your impressions to the win. What'd you think I

1716
01:19:01,840 --> 01:19:04,519
Speaker 1: thought the first half was sloppy. I was not happy

1717
01:19:04,640 --> 01:19:07,720
Speaker 1: about the first half. You got a team who's coming

1718
01:19:07,760 --> 01:19:10,160
Speaker 1: off a bye week and you're thinking, oh, great things,

1719
01:19:10,240 --> 01:19:13,160
Speaker 1: and then it's like, what in the world is going on?

1720
01:19:13,720 --> 01:19:15,920
Speaker 1: But they were able to fix it coming out of

1721
01:19:16,040 --> 01:19:19,880
Speaker 1: halftime and put together a great fourth quarter and win

1722
01:19:19,960 --> 01:19:23,599
Speaker 1: this game. So I was it's a win in the column.

1723
01:19:23,640 --> 01:19:25,360
Speaker 1: That's all that matters. It doesn't matter, and the win

1724
01:19:25,439 --> 01:19:27,439
Speaker 1: means we have the Maddies. Maddie comes in for the

1725
01:19:27,560 --> 01:19:29,960
Speaker 1: Meddi Awards. You can if you're watching on the MSG

1726
01:19:30,080 --> 01:19:32,599
Speaker 1: feed you see the trophy, a replica of which will

1727
01:19:32,600 --> 01:19:35,719
Speaker 1: be presented to each one of today's winnerds the Maddie

1728
01:19:36,120 --> 01:19:43,160
Speaker 1: from those Total Fabrics. Reporter Mandy Glab with the Maddies.

1729
01:19:43,200 --> 01:19:45,680
Speaker 1: We do this Monday's after victories. Let's get it going. Uh,

1730
01:19:46,040 --> 01:19:47,800
Speaker 1: start with the MVPs. What did you think? All right,

1731
01:19:47,960 --> 01:19:52,400
Speaker 1: defensive MVP. We're giving it to Trey White for his

1732
01:19:52,560 --> 01:19:56,120
Speaker 1: interception which completely turned the game around. Thank you Trey White,

1733
01:19:56,240 --> 01:19:59,320
Speaker 1: and thank you Jordan Phillips for that tackle for loss

1734
01:19:59,360 --> 01:20:02,360
Speaker 1: on the play before which forced a pass play and

1735
01:20:02,520 --> 01:20:04,680
Speaker 1: so then Trey White was able to do what he

1736
01:20:04,840 --> 01:20:08,120
Speaker 1: does best and get that interception, and then the offense

1737
01:20:08,160 --> 01:20:10,479
Speaker 1: went and paraded down the field and scored, which was awesome.

1738
01:20:10,560 --> 01:20:14,040
Speaker 1: He also forced a fumble, which is great. Uh, Fitzpatrick

1739
01:20:14,120 --> 01:20:17,599
Speaker 1: wasn't really targeting Tray White in this game, even before

1740
01:20:17,680 --> 01:20:20,679
Speaker 1: that interception. He didn't want to pick on Tray White

1741
01:20:20,720 --> 01:20:24,280
Speaker 1: at all, because we know how talented of a corner

1742
01:20:24,360 --> 01:20:26,960
Speaker 1: he is in this league. He actually leads the NFL

1743
01:20:27,120 --> 01:20:30,519
Speaker 1: right now in a defender passer rating with twenty six

1744
01:20:30,640 --> 01:20:33,920
Speaker 1: point six, which is heck, yeah, in your third year

1745
01:20:34,360 --> 01:20:37,280
Speaker 1: in the NFL, he is writing his ticket to grob Yeah.

1746
01:20:37,280 --> 01:20:40,000
Speaker 1: And he also has more since twenty seventeen, has more

1747
01:20:40,080 --> 01:20:42,960
Speaker 1: second half turnovers in any player in the league us

1748
01:20:43,000 --> 01:20:45,760
Speaker 1: like for fourteen of them just with him. The punch

1749
01:20:45,840 --> 01:20:47,679
Speaker 1: out that he had later in the game also set

1750
01:20:47,720 --> 01:20:50,439
Speaker 1: up the go ahead, you know, the touchdown and put

1751
01:20:50,560 --> 01:20:53,960
Speaker 1: him at twenty four. Had a great day, and I

1752
01:20:54,040 --> 01:20:56,720
Speaker 1: think the great day, you know, obviously highlighted by the pick,

1753
01:20:56,840 --> 01:21:00,120
Speaker 1: but also by the fact that I mean leave By

1754
01:21:00,200 --> 01:21:04,800
Speaker 1: Wallace must have seen five thousand targets because they would

1755
01:21:04,840 --> 01:21:08,280
Speaker 1: not throw at Tredavious White. They would just not would

1756
01:21:08,360 --> 01:21:11,320
Speaker 1: not do it. And Lee and we like Levi, Levi

1757
01:21:11,479 --> 01:21:14,719
Speaker 1: can play. Man. Oh man, he was, he was tested.

1758
01:21:14,880 --> 01:21:19,439
Speaker 1: He was he was getting run ragged over there. Your

1759
01:21:19,479 --> 01:21:22,960
Speaker 1: defensive MVP, do you have an offensive? Offensive MVP has

1760
01:21:23,000 --> 01:21:27,360
Speaker 1: to go to the new receiver John Brown. He made

1761
01:21:27,439 --> 01:21:30,120
Speaker 1: some great catches when they needed to move the ball

1762
01:21:30,200 --> 01:21:32,600
Speaker 1: down the field eighty three yards on that on the

1763
01:21:32,720 --> 01:21:35,360
Speaker 1: day he had that touchdown, he had that great dance

1764
01:21:35,439 --> 01:21:39,040
Speaker 1: in the end zone. Uh. He's catching seventy three percent

1765
01:21:39,080 --> 01:21:41,120
Speaker 1: of his passes right now, which is pretty great. Um,

1766
01:21:41,360 --> 01:21:43,880
Speaker 1: did the dance factor into your decision to award him

1767
01:21:43,880 --> 01:21:46,400
Speaker 1: a Maddie? I think a little bit. I know. I

1768
01:21:46,520 --> 01:21:50,240
Speaker 1: know the players were bugging him to do this touchdown

1769
01:21:50,320 --> 01:21:54,000
Speaker 1: dance because he has done it previously. Uh, not often,

1770
01:21:54,080 --> 01:21:56,800
Speaker 1: I would say, but he's done this dance before, so

1771
01:21:57,200 --> 01:21:59,559
Speaker 1: I know the guys in the locker room we're begging

1772
01:21:59,640 --> 01:22:02,840
Speaker 1: him to do that. So a sixth consecutive game to

1773
01:22:02,920 --> 01:22:05,240
Speaker 1: get the more than fifty yards passing, the first Bills

1774
01:22:05,360 --> 01:22:06,960
Speaker 1: a player to do that to open a season with

1775
01:22:07,040 --> 01:22:09,639
Speaker 1: that since Leevans did it eleven years ago. Yeah, he's

1776
01:22:09,640 --> 01:22:11,719
Speaker 1: on pace right now to have more than twelve hundred

1777
01:22:11,760 --> 01:22:16,160
Speaker 1: receiving yards at the rate. That's he's also up averaging

1778
01:22:16,280 --> 01:22:18,560
Speaker 1: more than thirty four yards a game than he was

1779
01:22:18,720 --> 01:22:21,640
Speaker 1: last season on the Ravens, which is awesome. Well, they

1780
01:22:21,680 --> 01:22:24,040
Speaker 1: had thirty one points on the scoreboard, so there's some

1781
01:22:24,160 --> 01:22:27,400
Speaker 1: points that were put up. And we just saw John

1782
01:22:27,479 --> 01:22:30,920
Speaker 1: Brown's touchdown dance. But who had the best celebration. The

1783
01:22:31,120 --> 01:22:37,080
Speaker 1: best celebration had to be QB one Josh Allen throwing

1784
01:22:37,160 --> 01:22:40,439
Speaker 1: the rock basically out of the stadium. I think it's

1785
01:22:40,520 --> 01:22:43,760
Speaker 1: still flying. It's gonna land in Mars in a way. Look,

1786
01:22:45,520 --> 01:22:47,519
Speaker 1: there's a Twitter angle one of the fans. I had

1787
01:22:47,560 --> 01:22:49,160
Speaker 1: it on there and they saw they showed the play

1788
01:22:49,479 --> 01:22:51,960
Speaker 1: and we're seeing it here on MSG and you can

1789
01:22:52,040 --> 01:22:55,439
Speaker 1: see the ball. He gets up and he turns around

1790
01:22:55,520 --> 01:22:58,080
Speaker 1: and throws it from the back of the edge. So crazy.

1791
01:22:58,960 --> 01:23:01,080
Speaker 1: It looked like for us it was gonna make it out.

1792
01:23:01,960 --> 01:23:04,680
Speaker 1: But man certainly up into the upper lower bowl and

1793
01:23:05,320 --> 01:23:07,800
Speaker 1: fun to see. It was a fun moment. I was

1794
01:23:07,880 --> 01:23:11,639
Speaker 1: in a suite and I called the play before it happened.

1795
01:23:11,640 --> 01:23:13,960
Speaker 1: I said, right here, there's a two point conversion and

1796
01:23:14,040 --> 01:23:16,880
Speaker 1: I said, this is where you let the guy run it.

1797
01:23:17,000 --> 01:23:20,479
Speaker 1: This is where where Josh needs to bust in there.

1798
01:23:20,479 --> 01:23:22,800
Speaker 1: And they did it was perfect? Yeah, I'm told that

1799
01:23:23,240 --> 01:23:26,000
Speaker 1: along with that celebration there may be a fine coming

1800
01:23:26,080 --> 01:23:29,080
Speaker 1: his way for throwing the ball like that. Anybody hear that? Yep? Yep?

1801
01:23:29,320 --> 01:23:31,280
Speaker 1: Is that alone? Yeah? Well you can't throw the ball

1802
01:23:31,320 --> 01:23:34,880
Speaker 1: into it. No, someone did it this season already and

1803
01:23:35,000 --> 01:23:38,320
Speaker 1: they got fined I think seven thousand dollars. Wow, So

1804
01:23:40,240 --> 01:23:42,559
Speaker 1: Josh Allen expects to fine. I heard him say that. Yeah.

1805
01:23:42,760 --> 01:23:46,719
Speaker 1: Best celebration was that? And the Maddies continue. Maddie glabs

1812
01:24:02,200 --> 01:24:04,439
Speaker 1: oh he did him because I don't know if people

1813
01:24:04,520 --> 01:24:07,400
Speaker 1: is ball going stuff like that, so I need to, oh,

1814
01:24:07,479 --> 01:24:12,280
Speaker 1: he killed them a sack. Be satisfied that Oliver talking

1815
01:24:12,280 --> 01:24:16,200
Speaker 1: about his sack. He killed him sack, Yeah, oh he

1816
01:24:16,320 --> 01:24:19,240
Speaker 1: killed him sack. Wow, you didn't have that sack. No,

1817
01:24:19,360 --> 01:24:24,080
Speaker 1: he didn't have that. The double pass there and he

1818
01:24:24,280 --> 01:24:26,840
Speaker 1: was able to get him down. But you know, Counts

1819
01:24:26,960 --> 01:24:29,759
Speaker 1: is a sack. Cool, but I don't think at Oliver

1820
01:24:29,960 --> 01:24:34,480
Speaker 1: is like, yes, my first career career sack. That was amazing.

1821
01:24:34,600 --> 01:24:36,920
Speaker 1: It was We wondered if they would have warned him

1822
01:24:36,920 --> 01:24:39,439
Speaker 1: a second. I guess you have to write the receiver

1823
01:24:39,640 --> 01:24:41,880
Speaker 1: clearly for Miami was setting up to throw. Yeah, there

1824
01:24:41,920 --> 01:24:43,439
Speaker 1: were a lot of people on Twitter who were saying,

1825
01:24:43,479 --> 01:24:45,439
Speaker 1: what the heck that's a sack? Why it's out a sack?

1826
01:24:45,520 --> 01:24:48,920
Speaker 1: But Horton Phillips play wasn't a sack? Yeah, yeah, kind

1827
01:24:48,960 --> 01:24:51,400
Speaker 1: of weird. We continue with the Maddi's. We'd take a

1828
01:24:51,439 --> 01:24:54,000
Speaker 1: look around the league and you have the best performance

1829
01:24:54,080 --> 01:24:57,439
Speaker 1: by a quarterback. Yeah. The NFL has to go to

1830
01:24:58,120 --> 01:25:02,000
Speaker 1: the cheeseheads the Packers for the way that Aaron Rodgers

1831
01:25:02,400 --> 01:25:06,960
Speaker 1: performed five touchdowns twenty five or thirty one four to

1832
01:25:07,080 --> 01:25:09,800
Speaker 1: twenty nine yards. They beat the Raiders forty two to

1833
01:25:09,960 --> 01:25:13,120
Speaker 1: twenty four, Like have a day, man, and this is

1834
01:25:13,200 --> 01:25:16,439
Speaker 1: a new head coach that he's working with. There was

1835
01:25:16,479 --> 01:25:18,600
Speaker 1: a lot of chatter, of course before this season, of

1836
01:25:19,360 --> 01:25:22,639
Speaker 1: you know, this coach is kind of around Aaron Rodgers age,

1837
01:25:22,760 --> 01:25:26,880
Speaker 1: like can they have chemistry together? Can Aaron Rodgers do

1838
01:25:27,080 --> 01:25:30,320
Speaker 1: some new things that he hasn't done before, and he's

1839
01:25:30,400 --> 01:25:32,760
Speaker 1: having a great season this year. Yep, as are the

1840
01:25:32,800 --> 01:25:35,200
Speaker 1: Packers really and you know you're right about that. The

1841
01:25:35,360 --> 01:25:38,040
Speaker 1: chatter we participated in it wondering. You know, Aaron Rodgers

1842
01:25:38,080 --> 01:25:40,800
Speaker 1: has a reputation of being kind of yeah, difficult man

1843
01:25:40,960 --> 01:25:43,040
Speaker 1: to get along with to go with, but it seems

1844
01:25:43,080 --> 01:25:45,360
Speaker 1: like it's working really well for him. And the fact

1845
01:25:45,400 --> 01:25:47,320
Speaker 1: that his quarterback presented in the game ball and kind

1846
01:25:47,320 --> 01:25:49,400
Speaker 1: of an emotional ceremony yesterday, I'm sure goes a long

1847
01:25:49,479 --> 01:25:52,680
Speaker 1: way towards bonding those two. Oh yeah, any definitely, there

1848
01:25:52,800 --> 01:25:55,320
Speaker 1: is also a little shot at Aaron Rodgers age when

1849
01:25:55,360 --> 01:25:58,559
Speaker 1: he presented the big game ball to him. All Right,

1850
01:25:58,640 --> 01:26:00,960
Speaker 1: So the mess wide receiver perform the mandies around the

1851
01:26:01,000 --> 01:26:03,640
Speaker 1: league goes also to a Green Bay Packer basically on

1852
01:26:03,800 --> 01:26:08,040
Speaker 1: the same team, Valdez Scantling. He had a great game

1853
01:26:08,080 --> 01:26:12,479
Speaker 1: one hundred and thirty three receiving yards, one touchdown. This

1854
01:26:12,640 --> 01:26:15,200
Speaker 1: guy was a fifth round pick out of UCF and

1855
01:26:16,000 --> 01:26:19,479
Speaker 1: he's having a great season right now, averaging nineteen point

1856
01:26:19,560 --> 01:26:24,320
Speaker 1: eight yards per catch. Incredible. Yeah, that's a great day

1857
01:26:24,360 --> 01:26:28,599
Speaker 1: in Green Bay playing against the Raiders. Yeah, Aaron Rodgers

1858
01:26:28,600 --> 01:26:30,760
Speaker 1: seems to be back in at his full full force,

1859
01:26:30,840 --> 01:26:33,000
Speaker 1: and then you give him guys like that. You listen

1860
01:26:33,280 --> 01:26:36,200
Speaker 1: fifth round receivers playing like that. You can give Aaron

1861
01:26:36,280 --> 01:26:38,479
Speaker 1: Rodgers a little credit for that as well, finding those

1862
01:26:38,520 --> 01:26:41,240
Speaker 1: guys maybe a little better than people thought they could. Yeah,

1863
01:26:41,240 --> 01:26:43,040
Speaker 1: they're at the top of the NFC North right now.

1864
01:26:43,439 --> 01:26:47,160
Speaker 1: Definitely controlling the way six and one, Vikings five and two,

1865
01:26:47,280 --> 01:26:50,400
Speaker 1: and then the Bears three and three, Maddy one more

1866
01:26:50,560 --> 01:26:53,200
Speaker 1: Meddy and it goes back to the Buffalo Bills, right, Yeah,

1867
01:26:53,200 --> 01:26:54,760
Speaker 1: I just I just want to give a shout out

1868
01:26:54,800 --> 01:26:57,360
Speaker 1: to the offense for scoring off of the takeaways. You

1869
01:26:57,439 --> 01:27:00,240
Speaker 1: have two takeaways, Yeah, you have two takeaway and you

1870
01:27:00,280 --> 01:27:03,080
Speaker 1: score fifteen points off those two takeaways. Last week, we

1871
01:27:03,160 --> 01:27:05,280
Speaker 1: were talking about things that this team needs to improve

1872
01:27:05,360 --> 01:27:08,360
Speaker 1: on in the next half of the season, and at

1873
01:27:08,479 --> 01:27:11,240
Speaker 1: that point they had three points off of eight takeaways,

1874
01:27:11,280 --> 01:27:14,160
Speaker 1: which is the second least points off takeaways in the NFL.

1875
01:27:14,560 --> 01:27:17,479
Speaker 1: Last week, now that changes with adding fifteen points to

1876
01:27:17,720 --> 01:27:21,280
Speaker 1: that stat line. So credit to the offense for scoring

1877
01:27:21,320 --> 01:27:24,000
Speaker 1: off of those takeaways and doing it in a situation

1878
01:27:24,080 --> 01:27:28,080
Speaker 1: where they needed to in order to win this football game. Yeah,

1879
01:27:29,439 --> 01:27:31,479
Speaker 1: right on time too. I mean they can Yeah, this

1880
01:27:31,600 --> 01:27:33,160
Speaker 1: game they needed. Can you imagine what they would have

1881
01:27:33,200 --> 01:27:35,679
Speaker 1: been had they not been plus two in the journal

1882
01:27:35,760 --> 01:27:38,000
Speaker 1: right ratio? Hey Maddie, when you took this job, when

1883

01:27:40,439 --> 01:27:42,640
Speaker 1: got July fifteenth, was my first day. Part of your

1885
01:27:42,720 --> 01:27:46,000
Speaker 1: calculation was at all looking at this team going to

1886
01:27:46,000 --> 01:27:47,479
Speaker 1: be any good? Because did you know they were going

1887
01:27:47,560 --> 01:27:49,280
Speaker 1: to be five and one to start the year. I

1888
01:27:49,320 --> 01:27:51,360
Speaker 1: don't know. I knew they would be five and one

1889
01:27:51,400 --> 01:27:53,879
Speaker 1: to start the year. I mean you talk to everybody

1893
01:28:02,640 --> 01:28:05,759
Speaker 1: watch camp and you go and watch them go undefeated

1894
01:28:05,800 --> 01:28:08,320

01:28:10,720 --> 01:28:14,040
Speaker 1: starters out there every game, so they look deep. Yeah,

Speaker 1: they do look deep. Yeah, say more fun than you

1924
01:29:38,240 --> 01:29:41,200
Speaker 1: win yesterday over the Dolphins A squeeze in a couple

1925
01:29:41,200 --> 01:29:43,000
Speaker 1: of phone calls here, Steve, be good with that. Let's

1926
01:29:43,040 --> 01:29:47,760
Speaker 1: go to Mike and Massapequa. Hello, Mike, are you hey good?

1927
01:29:47,760 --> 01:29:51,400
Speaker 1: How are you guys today? Good? I just wanted to

1928
01:29:51,520 --> 01:29:56,960
Speaker 1: bring up the Jordan's Phillips tackle that everybody's talking about. Hey,

1929
01:29:57,000 --> 01:29:59,280
Speaker 1: if you've been in locker room, does the coaches do

1930
01:29:59,360 --> 01:30:02,599
Speaker 1: they get on guys about celebrating Because even though Trey

1931
01:30:02,640 --> 01:30:05,639
Speaker 1: White made the interception after the play the next play,

1932
01:30:06,560 --> 01:30:09,599
Speaker 1: that ball was loose and he started to celebrate before

1933
01:30:09,640 --> 01:30:11,920
Speaker 1: the play was dead. And if Trey White doesn't make

1934
01:30:11,960 --> 01:30:13,920
Speaker 1: that pick on the next play, that could have really

1935
01:30:14,000 --> 01:30:16,880
Speaker 1: turned the game around and against us. And it seems

1936
01:30:16,920 --> 01:30:18,599
Speaker 1: like these guys when they make a play, they don't

1937
01:30:18,640 --> 01:30:22,160
Speaker 1: play to the whistle. They're ready to celebrate and instead

1938
01:30:22,200 --> 01:30:25,479
Speaker 1: of you know that, Patrick jumps on the ball and

1939
01:30:26,720 --> 01:30:28,960
Speaker 1: you know we could have had the ball right there. Yeah,

1940
01:30:29,040 --> 01:30:33,479
Speaker 1: you're right, And the problem is it happened so fast

1941
01:30:34,760 --> 01:30:37,200
Speaker 1: he actually rolled over and you'd almost had to have

1942
01:30:37,320 --> 01:30:40,439
Speaker 1: felt the ball go loose to do that. But you're right.

1943
01:30:40,520 --> 01:30:44,040
Speaker 1: I mean some times guys get caught being happy they

1944
01:30:44,120 --> 01:30:47,200
Speaker 1: did something and not knowing that they'd be really happy

1945
01:30:47,280 --> 01:30:49,120
Speaker 1: if they knew they had a chance to make something

1946
01:30:49,320 --> 01:30:51,960
Speaker 1: fantastic happen. That would have been How about that for

1947
01:30:52,080 --> 01:30:56,960
Speaker 1: being a tackle strip And I listen, if Fitzpatrick got

1948
01:30:57,040 --> 01:31:00,439
Speaker 1: it back, that could have been still could have been

1949
01:31:00,439 --> 01:31:02,560
Speaker 1: the Bills ball because that ball was out. There's no

1950
01:31:02,680 --> 01:31:05,439
Speaker 1: question it was a fumble. You're right it was. You

1951
01:31:05,479 --> 01:31:09,120
Speaker 1: know how thorough and meticulous Sean McDermott is. That will

1952
01:31:09,200 --> 01:31:11,720
Speaker 1: not go on. It'll get mentioned. Yeah, yeah, nothing goes

1953
01:31:11,760 --> 01:31:15,599
Speaker 1: on unseen. Right, you're right, there is uh. He will

1954
01:31:15,640 --> 01:31:18,040
Speaker 1: say something, the coach will say something. No question about

1955
01:31:18,040 --> 01:31:20,559
Speaker 1: a great job, great play. And here's how it could

1956
01:31:20,560 --> 01:31:24,040
Speaker 1: have been. It could have been unbelievable. Yeah, yeah, Mike,

1957
01:31:24,120 --> 01:31:25,800
Speaker 1: thanks for your call. We'll take a call here from

1958

1961
01:31:38,680 --> 01:31:41,320
Speaker 1: guys scored fifteen points for you. I was wondering how

1962
01:31:41,360 --> 01:31:43,280
Speaker 1: you thought about that. Well, they were good. Yeah, and

1963
01:31:43,320 --> 01:31:45,800
Speaker 1: I the reason the guys and CBS talk about me

1964
01:31:45,800 --> 01:31:48,800
Speaker 1: because they're by buddies. I mean, James Lofton was a

1965
01:31:48,840 --> 01:31:51,519
Speaker 1: teammate of mine. We've been friends for thirty years. And

1966
01:31:51,960 --> 01:31:54,400
Speaker 1: and Andrew Catalan I worked with in the booth for

1967
01:31:54,479 --> 01:31:56,760
Speaker 1: a bunch of years, and I did his first ever

1968
01:31:56,840 --> 01:31:59,840
Speaker 1: football game NFL football games. So yeah, they're both friends,

1969
01:31:59,840 --> 01:32:02,720
Speaker 1: and that's why you heard from about me from them.

1970
01:32:02,800 --> 01:32:04,960
Speaker 1: Andrew came in pregame to our radio booth down the

1971
01:32:05,040 --> 01:32:07,080
Speaker 1: hall there and visited for a while. He's great. He's

1972
01:32:07,080 --> 01:32:10,360
Speaker 1: a great guy. Boys, both boys, just talking to everybody's fantas.

1973
01:32:10,560 --> 01:32:13,240
Speaker 1: And also, Dave, you're right that special teams did play

1974
01:32:13,280 --> 01:32:15,920
Speaker 1: well yesterday. They had a couple of fantastic things. The

1975
01:32:17,280 --> 01:32:21,360
Speaker 1: field goal team was perfect. You can say what you

1976
01:32:21,439 --> 01:32:23,960
Speaker 1: want about the field goal defense team letting in the

1977
01:32:24,439 --> 01:32:27,360
Speaker 1: fake field goal for the first down. I thought that

1978
01:32:27,479 --> 01:32:29,400
Speaker 1: was the one play that kind of got away from him,

1979
01:32:29,400 --> 01:32:32,559
Speaker 1: where if they come hard off the edge, somebody's gonna

1980
01:32:32,600 --> 01:32:36,840
Speaker 1: be there to tackle that guy. And maybe maybe they

1981
01:32:36,880 --> 01:32:38,760
Speaker 1: were playing so off because they thought maybe somebody was

1982
01:32:38,760 --> 01:32:40,160
Speaker 1: gonna come. They didn't know it was gonna be that

1983
01:32:40,360 --> 01:32:43,120
Speaker 1: type of power play. Maybe they thought it would be

1984
01:32:43,160 --> 01:32:46,479
Speaker 1: a sweep or some sort of pass. Maybe they were

1985
01:32:46,520 --> 01:32:48,400
Speaker 1: looking for a different type of fake than they got

1986
01:32:48,760 --> 01:32:52,040
Speaker 1: from the Dolphins, if any, but the power runout I

1987
01:32:52,120 --> 01:32:54,840
Speaker 1: was a really well conceived fake for just a six

1988
01:32:54,960 --> 01:32:56,720
Speaker 1: inch game is all they needed and they got it.

1989
01:32:56,840 --> 01:33:00,200
Speaker 1: So take the good with the bad. But yeah, on

1990
01:33:00,520 --> 01:33:02,640
Speaker 1: the whole of Special Teams one yesterday, thanks for your

Speaker 1: get me. Chris browns with us. Steve has made a

2049
01:35:51,479 --> 01:35:54,559
Speaker 1: career for hating, of hating baseball, and he knows how

2050
01:35:54,720 --> 01:35:58,160
Speaker 1: how how much it bothers me. I consider it is

2051
01:35:58,200 --> 01:36:00,760
Speaker 1: this called the grind your gears segment. I consider it

2052
01:36:00,880 --> 01:36:03,479
Speaker 1: Unamerican to be so anti baseball. Steve, I've told you this,

2053
01:36:03,560 --> 01:36:07,439
Speaker 1: you know. It surprised me about that. Brownie is what

2054
01:36:07,600 --> 01:36:09,519
Speaker 1: a nerve it strikes for some people that I don't

2055
01:36:09,520 --> 01:36:12,559
Speaker 1: like baseball. It's not natural, it's not normal. He had

2056
01:36:12,600 --> 01:36:15,640
Speaker 1: an interesting argument which he shared with us during a

2057
01:36:15,680 --> 01:36:18,200
Speaker 1: dinner in the preseason on the road to Carolina. It

2058
01:36:18,400 --> 01:36:20,080
Speaker 1: was either I think I had a beer. I don't

2059
01:36:20,120 --> 01:36:22,599
Speaker 1: believe you were okay, but it was a very interesting

2060
01:36:22,720 --> 01:36:25,680
Speaker 1: argument that he laid out. He's not he thinks it's

2061
01:36:25,680 --> 01:36:30,040
Speaker 1: a big me sport, individual me sport, just because of

2062
01:36:30,120 --> 01:36:36,080
Speaker 1: the speak individualistic nature of the swaging it. So did

2063
01:36:36,080 --> 01:36:38,160
Speaker 1: you know what Steve said with Eric Wood first hour

2064
01:36:39,040 --> 01:36:42,280
Speaker 1: the most it's the best thing he's ever said. Wow.

2065
01:36:42,479 --> 01:36:44,600
Speaker 1: I had to write it down because Mark Murph was like,

2066
01:36:44,840 --> 01:36:47,800
Speaker 1: it stopped the show dead in its tracks. Holy, Steve

2067
01:36:47,840 --> 01:36:51,840
Speaker 1: Tasker philosophy. We were talking about what can I read

2068
01:36:51,840 --> 01:36:54,799
Speaker 1: it so I can refresh? Men? Where is it? Oh? Gratitude?

2069
01:36:54,840 --> 01:36:57,639
Speaker 1: We're talking about gratitude with Eric. Eric was talking about

2070
01:36:57,720 --> 01:37:01,320
Speaker 1: getting only one scholarship ball, yeah, one of Louisville of

2071
01:37:01,360 --> 01:37:04,280
Speaker 1: things through the four years of his college. And he's

2072
01:37:04,280 --> 01:37:06,559
Speaker 1: talking about how gratefully was that Louisville gave him the shot,

2073
01:37:06,640 --> 01:37:08,760
Speaker 1: and Steve spits this out, go ahead, I said, A

2074
01:37:08,800 --> 01:37:12,800
Speaker 1: grateful heart leads to a lot of success. Wow, that's

2075
01:37:12,840 --> 01:37:15,080
Speaker 1: just all of us just think that's poignant with a

2076
01:37:15,160 --> 01:37:18,960
Speaker 1: capital pea. Yeah, I think you can nit? Is that

2077
01:37:19,040 --> 01:37:23,200
Speaker 1: your own? Yes? I see, that's what's it came to

2078
01:37:23,280 --> 01:37:25,360
Speaker 1: me And I had to write it down or I'd

2079
01:37:25,400 --> 01:37:28,040
Speaker 1: forget it. Yeah, but yeah, a grateful heart leads to

2080
01:37:28,120 --> 01:37:29,920
Speaker 1: a lot you know, you know who used to do

2081
01:37:30,000 --> 01:37:32,760
Speaker 1: a lot of that, Keith Richards. Keith Richards used to

2082
01:37:33,880 --> 01:37:37,400
Speaker 1: record when he was noodling stones. Yeah, noodling around on

2083
01:37:37,479 --> 01:37:40,360
Speaker 1: his guitar, because he was convinced he would forget some

2084
01:37:40,479 --> 01:37:42,600
Speaker 1: of the best stuff he ever did. Yeah. So this

2085
01:37:42,760 --> 01:37:44,920
Speaker 1: is a true story. Not that now that we're completely

2086
01:37:45,000 --> 01:37:48,240
Speaker 1: off topic ahead, but he was on a cross atlantic

2087
01:37:48,320 --> 01:37:51,559
Speaker 1: flight noodling around with his guitar. He liked this lick

2088
01:37:51,680 --> 01:37:53,719
Speaker 1: he was playing, but he was half in the bag,

2089
01:37:54,439 --> 01:37:57,120
Speaker 1: so he hit his recorder and started playing it and

2090
01:37:57,320 --> 01:38:01,280
Speaker 1: dozed off while playing it and woke up and then

2091
01:38:01,360 --> 01:38:03,160
Speaker 1: played it back and say, oh, bro, that's pretty good.

2092
01:38:03,200 --> 01:38:07,160
Speaker 1: Late it was start me Up. That was the lick

2093
01:38:07,240 --> 01:38:09,840
Speaker 1: that he played. So had he not hit record and

2094
01:38:10,000 --> 01:38:12,000
Speaker 1: passed out on the plane, we may have never heard

2095
01:38:12,080 --> 01:38:14,120
Speaker 1: start me Up. Wow. See you're in the simla. How

2096
01:38:14,120 --> 01:38:15,920
Speaker 1: about that. I'm glad you wrote that time. I'm glad

2097
01:38:15,960 --> 01:38:17,560
Speaker 1: you wrote it down step and now you got to

2098
01:38:17,560 --> 01:38:20,720
Speaker 1: go home and crotchet some pillows. The problem is, I

2099
01:38:20,720 --> 01:38:22,439
Speaker 1: didn't know it was that good until you said it.

2100
01:38:22,560 --> 01:38:24,560
Speaker 1: So I said, I'm glad you hit record. Stopped me

2101
01:38:24,640 --> 01:38:26,400
Speaker 1: dead in my tracks. We're not used to that. It

2102
01:38:26,479 --> 01:38:28,680
Speaker 1: was good step. We're not Chris Brown is with US

2103
01:38:28,720 --> 01:38:31,000
Speaker 1: Bills insider from Buffalo Bills dot Com to talk about

2104
01:38:31,080 --> 01:38:34,960
Speaker 1: yesterday's ten point anything like it rarely. I don't say

2105
01:38:35,040 --> 01:38:37,639
Speaker 1: much either of consequence. So don't you're not alone. Ten

2106
01:38:37,720 --> 01:38:39,760
Speaker 1: point went over the Dolphins, Chris, And we've had a

2107
01:38:39,800 --> 01:38:41,800
Speaker 1: lot of calls today, And yeah, people are poking holes

2108
01:38:41,800 --> 01:38:44,200
Speaker 1: in it in some respects because there are places to

2109
01:38:44,240 --> 01:38:46,720
Speaker 1: poke holes. The Bills win despite not playing well. I

2110
01:38:46,760 --> 01:38:50,879
Speaker 1: think that's big, right. I will adopt for a day anyway,

2111
01:38:51,000 --> 01:38:53,720
Speaker 1: the Al Davis philosophy, just win baby. Sure you got

2112
01:38:53,800 --> 01:38:56,080
Speaker 1: the win, so you're five and one. You took care

2113
01:38:56,080 --> 01:38:59,560
Speaker 1: of business. But the phrase that kind of came to

2114
01:38:59,640 --> 01:39:02,679
Speaker 1: mind from me for me in just kind of watching

2115
01:39:02,760 --> 01:39:06,360
Speaker 1: this game at face value the first time through. They're

2116
01:39:06,400 --> 01:39:09,080
Speaker 1: kind of cheating the hangman a little bit here. They

2117
01:39:09,200 --> 01:39:13,920
Speaker 1: play better competition in the weeks to come, and if

2118
01:39:14,000 --> 01:39:19,799
Speaker 1: they can't get more consistent where they play a pretty

2119
01:39:20,760 --> 01:39:24,080
Speaker 1: buttoned up game start to finish, they will get victimized

2120
01:39:24,120 --> 01:39:27,479
Speaker 1: at some point in time. This league is too close

2121
01:39:28,240 --> 01:39:32,760
Speaker 1: to one another team to team where at some point

2122
01:39:32,880 --> 01:39:35,200
Speaker 1: or another, the law of averages is going to catch

2123
01:39:35,320 --> 01:39:37,200
Speaker 1: up with you, and the mistakes that you make will

2124
01:39:37,320 --> 01:39:41,040
Speaker 1: cost you, or the inefficiencies that you have will cost

2125
01:39:41,120 --> 01:39:43,200
Speaker 1: you a game here or there. It is. It's just

2126
01:39:43,320 --> 01:39:47,000
Speaker 1: the law of averages, no matter who you're playing. Biggest

2127
01:39:47,040 --> 01:39:49,920
Speaker 1: failing for the Bills yesterday in a victory, was it

2128
01:39:50,280 --> 01:39:51,720
Speaker 1: I'm going to offer you a few options here, and

2129
01:39:51,800 --> 01:39:54,120
Speaker 1: you don't have to choose any of them. I have

2130
01:39:54,200 --> 01:39:56,040
Speaker 1: one in my head selling for field goals instead of

2131
01:39:56,080 --> 01:40:00,720
Speaker 1: early touchdowns, to see if you keep going. I'll wait

2132
01:40:00,800 --> 01:40:03,320
Speaker 1: till you're finished. Was it defense against the run a

2133
01:40:03,320 --> 01:40:06,880
Speaker 1: little suspect especially early on, most likely early on, or

2134
01:40:07,120 --> 01:40:09,320
Speaker 1: was it, you know, Josh Allen just not being an

2135
01:40:09,520 --> 01:40:13,840
Speaker 1: extra sharp What do you think I'll use more of

2136
01:40:13,920 --> 01:40:17,600
Speaker 1: a team statistic here. I think the difference, especially in

2137
01:40:17,680 --> 01:40:20,600
Speaker 1: the first half, was third down in red zone for

2138
01:40:20,720 --> 01:40:23,880
Speaker 1: the offense. Could not convert on third down. They were

2139
01:40:23,880 --> 01:40:27,160
Speaker 1: one for six at half time, couldn't couldn't make make

2140
01:40:27,240 --> 01:40:30,479
Speaker 1: it on the money down and some yes, and some

2141
01:40:30,680 --> 01:40:36,720
Speaker 1: of it was due to miscommunication or inaccuracy on Josh's part.

2142
01:40:37,120 --> 01:40:38,880
Speaker 1: There was a ball he threw down the left the

2143
01:40:39,000 --> 01:40:41,680
Speaker 1: far sideline going towards the tunnel end when he was

2144
01:40:41,760 --> 01:40:43,439
Speaker 1: I can't remember who he was targeting. He was trying

2145
01:40:43,479 --> 01:40:45,360
Speaker 1: to take a shot to the end zone there and

2146
01:40:45,560 --> 01:40:47,280
Speaker 1: people are like, oh my god, he overthrew it. If

2147
01:40:47,280 --> 01:40:49,760
Speaker 1: you go back and watch, the intended receiver on that

2148
01:40:49,800 --> 01:40:52,960
Speaker 1: play actually stumbled, took two stumble steps, stay kept up,

2149
01:40:53,080 --> 01:40:55,680
Speaker 1: stayed up. But by that point the play's over. I mean,

2150
01:40:55,760 --> 01:40:57,240
Speaker 1: Steve would be the first person to tell you with

2151
01:40:57,320 --> 01:41:00,400
Speaker 1: the timing on those plays, you take two stumble steps

2152
01:41:00,840 --> 01:41:02,240
Speaker 1: with as fine as you have to cut it in

2153
01:41:02,280 --> 01:41:04,320
Speaker 1: the NFL, the play's over and it's going to look

2154
01:41:04,400 --> 01:41:07,000
Speaker 1: like an overthrow. I still don't know if they would

2155
01:41:07,000 --> 01:41:09,840
Speaker 1: have hooked up had he run the route clean, but

2156
01:41:10,560 --> 01:41:15,160
Speaker 1: you know there was there were some missed timing in

2157
01:41:15,280 --> 01:41:17,240
Speaker 1: the passing game yesterday. I don't think there's any question

2158
01:41:17,280 --> 01:41:19,560
Speaker 1: about that. John Brown addressed it after the game. We

2159
01:41:19,680 --> 01:41:21,679
Speaker 1: were talking to him about his touchdown and he says, look,

2160
01:41:21,960 --> 01:41:25,040
Speaker 1: the chemistry is good, but it can be better. He goes,

2161
01:41:25,080 --> 01:41:28,160
Speaker 1: there's route running that I still have to perfect, along

2162
01:41:28,240 --> 01:41:29,960
Speaker 1: with some other receivers too. So I thought it was

2163
01:41:30,000 --> 01:41:33,000
Speaker 1: interesting that his take on it. He took it off

2164
01:41:33,080 --> 01:41:35,599
Speaker 1: the quarterback and he put it on the receiving corps,

2165
01:41:36,040 --> 01:41:40,639
Speaker 1: which you know, in a league and a fan base,

2166
01:41:41,000 --> 01:41:43,360
Speaker 1: and I'm talking about the whole NFL where it's all

2167
01:41:43,400 --> 01:41:46,080
Speaker 1: about the head coach and the quarterback. It was a

2168
01:41:46,160 --> 01:41:49,720
Speaker 1: fresh perspective that I thought John Brown lent to the conversation.

2169
01:41:50,120 --> 01:41:51,800
Speaker 1: And John Brown's the type of guy that's going to

2170
01:41:51,840 --> 01:41:55,400
Speaker 1: put it on himself before anybody. Anyway. I was trying

2171
01:41:55,439 --> 01:41:56,840
Speaker 1: to talk to him about the match up with him

2172
01:41:56,840 --> 01:41:58,799
Speaker 1: and Ryan Lewis and how that was a clear mismatch

2173
01:41:59,080 --> 01:42:00,880
Speaker 1: and how the Bills finally he took advantage of it,

2174
01:42:01,200 --> 01:42:04,000
Speaker 1: and he talked for forty five seconds about what a

2175
01:42:04,040 --> 01:42:07,000
Speaker 1: competitor Ryan Lewis's You know, that's just who John Brown is.

2176
01:42:07,320 --> 01:42:10,400
Speaker 1: But I think his point is a valid one. There

2177
01:42:10,560 --> 01:42:14,080
Speaker 1: is some chemistry ground that this receiving corps has to

2178
01:42:14,160 --> 01:42:18,240
Speaker 1: cover with Josh and this is an example of again,

2179
01:42:18,400 --> 01:42:20,280
Speaker 1: and we've talked about it on this show. All the

2180
01:42:20,479 --> 01:42:23,800
Speaker 1: newness that exists on the offense, it's still not a

2181
01:42:23,960 --> 01:42:27,519
Speaker 1: well oiled machine, and that is part of the reason

2182
01:42:27,640 --> 01:42:30,080
Speaker 1: for some of the inefficiency getting we're still seeing getting

2183
01:42:30,160 --> 01:42:32,760
Speaker 1: more changes. Singletaries in Tyler Croft is in your right.

2184
01:42:32,840 --> 01:42:35,599
Speaker 1: I mean, it's definitely a work in progress. So they're

2185
01:42:35,640 --> 01:42:38,080
Speaker 1: sitting there at five and one in the conference, the

2186
01:42:38,160 --> 01:42:40,240
Speaker 1: second best record in the conference, tied for the second

2187
01:42:40,240 --> 01:42:44,679
Speaker 1: best record in the league, So it looks like they've

2188
01:42:44,720 --> 01:42:50,360
Speaker 1: got something good going on. Does yesterday's not the outcome,

2189
01:42:50,400 --> 01:42:52,960
Speaker 1: but does yesterday's performance give you kind of pause to say,

2190
01:42:53,040 --> 01:42:56,479
Speaker 1: maybe this isn't sustainable? Well, like I was saying, I

2191
01:42:56,600 --> 01:42:59,439
Speaker 1: still think there is. There's plenty of improvement to be

2192
01:42:59,560 --> 01:43:02,280
Speaker 1: had here, particularly on the offensive side of the ball.

2193
01:43:02,479 --> 01:43:05,679
Speaker 1: The defensive issues that you mentioned, Murph about the run defense,

2194
01:43:06,120 --> 01:43:09,639
Speaker 1: I think they just got out schemed and we saw

2195
01:43:09,760 --> 01:43:11,719
Speaker 1: what it means when Matt Milano's not in the lineup.

2196
01:43:11,800 --> 01:43:14,920
Speaker 1: It was very clear to me that the Dolphins run

2197
01:43:15,000 --> 01:43:19,519
Speaker 1: game targeted Maurice Alexander. They targeted the new guy in

2198
01:43:19,640 --> 01:43:24,360
Speaker 1: the base package. They stayed in personnel that would keep

2199
01:43:24,600 --> 01:43:28,080
Speaker 1: Buffalo's base defense on the field, namely Maurice Alexander out

2200
01:43:28,120 --> 01:43:30,640
Speaker 1: there as the third linebacker, knowing he doesn't have as

2201
01:43:30,720 --> 01:43:33,879
Speaker 1: much experience on the field with Tremaine. Yeah, with Tremaine

2202
01:43:33,960 --> 01:43:36,960
Speaker 1: Edmonds and Lorenzo Alexander, and so what you had was

2203
01:43:37,680 --> 01:43:40,479
Speaker 1: a second level of defense that wasn't quite in sync

2204
01:43:40,800 --> 01:43:42,599
Speaker 1: the way it had been for the first five weeks

2205
01:43:42,640 --> 01:43:44,559
Speaker 1: of the season with three guys who would largely played

2206
01:43:44,600 --> 01:43:46,400
Speaker 1: together for the better part of the last two seasons.

2207
01:43:46,680 --> 01:43:50,040
Speaker 1: So they took advantage of that. There was some out

2208
01:43:50,120 --> 01:43:52,760
Speaker 1: of sync plays where they weren't as gap sound as

2209
01:43:52,800 --> 01:43:54,320
Speaker 1: they have been in recent weeks, and we saw the

2210
01:43:54,400 --> 01:43:57,240
Speaker 1: results of that. Now, flipping it back to Steve's argument, Yeah,

2211
01:43:57,280 --> 01:44:00,280
Speaker 1: I mean, I think if you don't continue to prove

2212
01:44:00,880 --> 01:44:02,519
Speaker 1: and believe me, I don't want to beat this drum

2213
01:44:02,600 --> 01:44:05,240
Speaker 1: because coach McDermott beats it every single day of every

2214
01:44:05,320 --> 01:44:08,599
Speaker 1: single week. But the growth mindset and the daily self

2215
01:44:08,680 --> 01:44:12,599
Speaker 1: improvement has to happen here. It's not just coach speak.

2216
01:44:12,960 --> 01:44:15,679
Speaker 1: It's a valid thing that has to take place because

2217
01:44:15,720 --> 01:44:18,479
Speaker 1: if it does not, as I said in some of

2218
01:44:18,560 --> 01:44:20,960
Speaker 1: my opening comments here, it is going to come back

2219
01:44:21,000 --> 01:44:22,840
Speaker 1: to bite them and they're gonna have crooked numbers in

2220
01:44:22,880 --> 01:44:25,160
Speaker 1: the lost column in the not too distant future if

2221
01:44:25,160 --> 01:44:28,240
Speaker 1: it doesn't change for the better. Chris Browns with Bills

2222
01:44:28,280 --> 01:44:31,120
Speaker 1: Insider Buffalo Bills dot Com. I want to talk more

2223
01:44:31,120 --> 01:44:33,599
Speaker 1: about the Bills passing offense with you and Aminta, Chris,

2224
01:44:33,720 --> 01:44:37,000
Speaker 1: but before we get to that, at interesting questions submitted

2225
01:44:37,040 --> 01:44:39,240
Speaker 1: on Twitter, which Stephen I have kind of we haven't

2226
01:44:39,240 --> 01:44:42,320
Speaker 1: really answered yet. I acknowledge that Greg Brockway tweets us

2227
01:44:42,360 --> 01:44:45,040
Speaker 1: and Hey, Chris, why wasn't Jordan Phillips tackle and forced

2228
01:44:45,080 --> 01:44:48,320
Speaker 1: fumble on Fitzpatrick not a sack? You know the play

2229
01:44:48,439 --> 01:44:51,519
Speaker 1: the big play right before the interception, right, Yeah, I'm

2230
01:44:52,080 --> 01:44:55,000
Speaker 1: I don't know if he's passing. Yeah, it's a it's

2231
01:44:55,040 --> 01:44:57,400
Speaker 1: a close one. It's kind of an in between deal. Yeah,

2232
01:44:58,280 --> 01:45:00,400
Speaker 1: And that could be the only reason. And I would

2233
01:45:00,720 --> 01:45:04,120
Speaker 1: imagine that, you know, the statisticians were unsure as to

2234
01:45:04,200 --> 01:45:07,719
Speaker 1: what to label that. Uh. I was kind of wondering

2235
01:45:07,760 --> 01:45:10,920
Speaker 1: if they I was surprised nobody tried to pounce on

2236
01:45:11,040 --> 01:45:12,680
Speaker 1: that ball soon or maybe they just didn't see it

2237
01:45:12,680 --> 01:45:17,240
Speaker 1: because right because it was it was loose, and I

2238
01:45:17,320 --> 01:45:19,320
Speaker 1: don't know if I mean, maybe they considered him down

2239
01:45:19,400 --> 01:45:22,479
Speaker 1: by contact anyway, so it might be a mood point.

2240
01:45:22,520 --> 01:45:23,960
Speaker 1: It would have been a replay and they would have

2241
01:45:24,000 --> 01:45:25,680
Speaker 1: it would have been Yeah, ball would have been out.

2242
01:45:25,760 --> 01:45:28,120
Speaker 1: I was surprised they didn't take a second look at that, yeah,

2243
01:45:28,840 --> 01:45:30,720
Speaker 1: because it looked like it was coming loose before he

2244
01:45:30,800 --> 01:45:32,479
Speaker 1: was completely down. Let me get to a call here,

2245
01:45:32,560 --> 01:45:34,439
Speaker 1: Chris while you're with us, because this gets us to

2246
01:45:34,479 --> 01:45:36,040
Speaker 1: an area. I know you want to talk about the

2247
01:45:36,080 --> 01:45:39,080
Speaker 1: Bills passing offense, Rick and Albany as a question first, Rick,

2248
01:45:39,120 --> 01:45:42,160
Speaker 1: go ahead, Hey, thank you guys, thank you for taking

2249
01:45:42,280 --> 01:45:45,960
Speaker 1: my call. Um. You know, I've been patiently waiting for

2250
01:45:46,080 --> 01:45:48,439
Speaker 1: this subject for a long time, especially ever since we

2251
01:45:48,560 --> 01:45:52,280
Speaker 1: drafted Josh Allen. And I see it like last year

2252
01:45:52,320 --> 01:45:54,479
Speaker 1: they did a few times and they only did it

2253
01:45:54,600 --> 01:45:56,800
Speaker 1: like twice this year. What is going on with the

2254
01:45:56,920 --> 01:45:59,720
Speaker 1: deep ball? How come they haven't been using the deep

2255
01:45:59,760 --> 01:46:02,280
Speaker 1: ball as an option for the offense. Did you see

2256
01:46:02,360 --> 01:46:06,120
Speaker 1: Josh throw it? There's at least three times yesterday Josh

2257
01:46:06,160 --> 01:46:08,880
Speaker 1: Allen throw it. He threw three deep balls yesterday And

2258
01:46:09,040 --> 01:46:13,240
Speaker 1: did you see what the result was on those? Yeah?

2259
01:46:13,400 --> 01:46:15,320
Speaker 1: But I mean it's one of those things is that

2260
01:46:15,520 --> 01:46:18,160
Speaker 1: you know, if you want to develop a touch, you're

2261
01:46:18,200 --> 01:46:19,960
Speaker 1: gonna have to He's gonna have to do a lot

2262
01:46:20,040 --> 01:46:24,200
Speaker 1: more or you know. I don't know, listen, Rick, I know,

2263
01:46:24,360 --> 01:46:25,880
Speaker 1: I don't know if you know this. They practiced six

2264
01:46:26,000 --> 01:46:27,599
Speaker 1: days a week other than the game day. I don't

2265
01:46:27,600 --> 01:46:29,800
Speaker 1: know how many times you think you're gonna see it

2266
01:46:29,840 --> 01:46:32,360
Speaker 1: in practice? And and get it's up to them. They

2267
01:46:32,439 --> 01:46:35,160
Speaker 1: got to Josh, you gotta complete it. That on throw

2268
01:46:35,240 --> 01:46:38,920
Speaker 1: to Andre Roberts missed literally even missed by ten yards,

2269
01:46:39,000 --> 01:46:40,720
Speaker 1: and he was beating himself up after the game for

2270
01:46:40,840 --> 01:46:44,439
Speaker 1: not hitting on that because Roberts had had his corner

2271
01:46:44,520 --> 01:46:46,599
Speaker 1: beaten and the safety beaten by a couple of steps

2272
01:46:46,800 --> 01:46:49,800
Speaker 1: behind everybody. Chris, You've done a little research on this, though,

2273
01:46:49,840 --> 01:46:51,960
Speaker 1: and found that things are not that much different from

2274
01:46:52,000 --> 01:46:55,280
Speaker 1: the world ago. You know, I heard all the comments,

2275
01:46:55,479 --> 01:46:57,439
Speaker 1: you know, on local radio, and you've seen it on

2276
01:46:57,560 --> 01:47:02,040
Speaker 1: social media, people pining for more deep ball shots, and

2277
01:47:02,680 --> 01:47:06,559
Speaker 1: so I decided, well, let me look up pass completion

2278
01:47:06,680 --> 01:47:09,720
Speaker 1: by distance for this offense this year. So for this

2279
01:47:09,880 --> 01:47:14,720
Speaker 1: season pass completions by distance, the majority of the completions

2280
01:47:14,760 --> 01:47:17,559
Speaker 1: are happening between six and ten yards thirty six percent.

2281
01:47:18,000 --> 01:47:21,559
Speaker 1: The next highest percentage is from eleven to twenty yards,

2282
01:47:21,760 --> 01:47:24,960
Speaker 1: which is almost twenty seven percent. So what you're talking

2283
01:47:25,000 --> 01:47:29,960
Speaker 1: about here is essentially almost two thirds of the completions

2284
01:47:30,000 --> 01:47:33,320
Speaker 1: are happening between six and twenty yards. And I think

2285
01:47:33,400 --> 01:47:37,200
Speaker 1: that's where Brian Dable wants the bread and butter of

2286
01:47:37,280 --> 01:47:40,160
Speaker 1: his offense to operate. When they're throwing the football in

2287
01:47:40,320 --> 01:47:43,719
Speaker 1: that range. Why, Because you've got players like John Brown

2288
01:47:43,760 --> 01:47:46,400
Speaker 1: and Cole Beasley who thrive in those areas of the field.

2289
01:47:46,640 --> 01:47:49,439
Speaker 1: They're your two most reliable receivers. They're your two most

2290
01:47:49,520 --> 01:47:54,920
Speaker 1: productive receivers to this point, and those are higher percentage plays.

2291
01:47:55,439 --> 01:47:58,519
Speaker 1: To stay on the field, stay on schedule in terms

2292
01:47:58,560 --> 01:48:01,320
Speaker 1: of down and distance, and get into the red zone

2293
01:48:01,360 --> 01:48:03,080
Speaker 1: where you finish drives. And oh, by the way, the

2294
01:48:03,160 --> 01:48:04,880
Speaker 1: Bills are still near the top of the league and

2295
01:48:04,960 --> 01:48:08,679
Speaker 1: red zone touchdown efficiency when they get down there, despite

2296
01:48:08,720 --> 01:48:10,800
Speaker 1: the field goals that they kicked yesterday. They're second in

2297
01:48:10,840 --> 01:48:13,439
Speaker 1: the league right now at almost sixty nine percent success rate.

2298
01:48:13,479 --> 01:48:15,800
Speaker 1: The only team that's better is Minnesota, So they're the

2299
01:48:15,840 --> 01:48:18,040
Speaker 1: best team in the AFC when they get to the

2300
01:48:18,120 --> 01:48:21,240
Speaker 1: red zone. So they are moving the ball with a

2301
01:48:21,400 --> 01:48:24,439
Speaker 1: high rate of success. The only thing they're not doing

2302
01:48:24,640 --> 01:48:28,560
Speaker 1: is scoring outside the red zone. They're not scoring touchdowns

2303
01:48:28,760 --> 01:48:31,200
Speaker 1: from outside there. And this is where I think the

2304
01:48:31,320 --> 01:48:35,360
Speaker 1: deep ball completion percentage comes into play. On the part

2305
01:48:35,400 --> 01:48:37,439
Speaker 1: of the fans. They say, well, we get down to

2306
01:48:37,520 --> 01:48:39,760
Speaker 1: the red zone and we usually score there, and that's great,

2307
01:48:40,000 --> 01:48:41,840
Speaker 1: but we can't just score down there. We want to

2308
01:48:41,840 --> 01:48:43,840
Speaker 1: score from the outside, and maybe it is a little

2309
01:48:43,880 --> 01:48:47,840
Speaker 1: bit of nitpicking, but this year, twenty one plus yard

2310
01:48:47,960 --> 01:48:52,080
Speaker 1: completions by distance eleven point four percent of the completion

2311
01:48:52,200 --> 01:48:55,320
Speaker 1: so far this year. Right now, if you go back

2312
01:48:55,360 --> 01:49:00,160
Speaker 1: to last year and let's just take Josh's starts from

2313
01:49:00,240 --> 01:49:04,040
Speaker 1: last season, eleven starts was it? I think so if

2314
01:49:04,080 --> 01:49:07,200
Speaker 1: you go just by using Josh's stats in twenty eighteen,

2315
01:49:07,320 --> 01:49:10,559
Speaker 1: pass completion by distance twenty one yards plus is only

2316
01:49:10,640 --> 01:49:13,599
Speaker 1: seventeen percent. So you're talking a difference of only six percent,

2317
01:49:14,160 --> 01:49:16,960
Speaker 1: and we're only going on a sample size of six

2318
01:49:17,120 --> 01:49:18,920
Speaker 1: games this year. I don't know if that's a large

2319
01:49:19,000 --> 01:49:22,240
Speaker 1: enough sample size to stamp this as a drop in

2320
01:49:22,400 --> 01:49:25,559
Speaker 1: a deep ball completion percentage. Yes, it's a six percent

2321
01:49:25,680 --> 01:49:28,479
Speaker 1: drop on the surface, or a five point six percent

2322
01:49:28,560 --> 01:49:31,160
Speaker 1: drop if we want to split hairs, But I don't

2323
01:49:31,280 --> 01:49:33,200
Speaker 1: know if it's a big enough sample size. As I

2324
01:49:33,280 --> 01:49:35,240
Speaker 1: mentioned in the tweet that I put out today, and

2325
01:49:35,360 --> 01:49:38,200
Speaker 1: you look at the other numbers, the only noticeable change

2326
01:49:38,479 --> 01:49:40,519
Speaker 1: is the ten percent jump in the six to ten

2327
01:49:40,600 --> 01:49:43,240
Speaker 1: yard area, which I think is an area of focus

2328
01:49:43,360 --> 01:49:46,759
Speaker 1: that day will put on Josh Allen because his completion

2329
01:49:46,800 --> 01:49:49,880
Speaker 1: percentage in that area wasn't very good last year. And

2330
01:49:50,040 --> 01:49:53,000
Speaker 1: I think the reason that that ten percent jump, that

2331
01:49:53,160 --> 01:49:55,240
Speaker 1: ten percent jump in the six to ten yard area

2332
01:49:55,800 --> 01:49:58,439
Speaker 1: is part of the reason why his completion percentage is

2333
01:49:58,479 --> 01:50:00,680
Speaker 1: ten percent higher than it was last year. It's at

2334
01:50:00,720 --> 01:50:02,840
Speaker 1: sixty two percent right now. It was at fifty two

2335
01:50:02,880 --> 01:50:05,679
Speaker 1: percent last year. So you've made him a more efficient quarterback.

2336
01:50:05,760 --> 01:50:08,479
Speaker 1: I don't want to get too deep in the here's

2337
01:50:08,520 --> 01:50:10,240
Speaker 1: you're making my head hurt. Let me just boil down.

2338
01:50:10,760 --> 01:50:14,120
Speaker 1: You're saying they really are completing deep passes at nearly

2339
01:50:14,200 --> 01:50:15,800
Speaker 1: the same rate they did a year. It's a little

2340
01:50:15,800 --> 01:50:17,800
Speaker 1: bit lower, a little bit lower, six percent lower, five

2341
01:50:17,840 --> 01:50:20,519
Speaker 1: points something percent lower, and there is significant improvement in

2342
01:50:20,560 --> 01:50:22,160
Speaker 1: the short stuff, which is kind of what we were

2343
01:50:22,200 --> 01:50:24,640
Speaker 1: looking for going into the year. Listen, I don't care

2344
01:50:24,640 --> 01:50:27,120
Speaker 1: about this deep ball. So you know why you're completing

2345
01:50:27,160 --> 01:50:29,720
Speaker 1: all these deep balls last year and in a six

2346
01:50:29,800 --> 01:50:33,000
Speaker 1: win for six win season, you're losing forty percent more

2347
01:50:33,439 --> 01:50:38,160
Speaker 1: than you're winning. I'd rather have you winning eighty percent

2348
01:50:38,280 --> 01:50:40,519
Speaker 1: more than you're losing. Yeah, like you are this year,

2349
01:50:40,840 --> 01:50:43,880
Speaker 1: don't yeah, just shut up about the deep ball, right,

2350
01:50:44,800 --> 01:50:47,600
Speaker 1: And this is kind of and this is some of

2351
01:50:47,680 --> 01:50:49,320
Speaker 1: what I was This is some of what I was

2352
01:50:49,360 --> 01:50:52,960
Speaker 1: saying on the pregame show yesterday before the game. We

2353
01:50:53,120 --> 01:50:56,360
Speaker 1: have to remember, Brian Dabele comes from the New England

2354
01:50:56,400 --> 01:51:02,320
Speaker 1: school of offense, and what have they been enormously successful with.

2355
01:51:02,479 --> 01:51:04,799
Speaker 1: And yes, I know they have Tom Brady as their quarterback,

2356
01:51:04,880 --> 01:51:08,160
Speaker 1: but the nuts and bolts of that offensive scheme has

2357
01:51:08,200 --> 01:51:11,040
Speaker 1: been a short to intermediate passing game that keeps them

2358
01:51:11,080 --> 01:51:14,320
Speaker 1: on schedule and down and distance, moves the sticks, keeps

2359
01:51:14,360 --> 01:51:16,680
Speaker 1: the offense on the field and takes the pressure off

2360
01:51:16,760 --> 01:51:19,680
Speaker 1: the defense. Now, what's the next step that they have

2361
01:51:19,840 --> 01:51:22,080
Speaker 1: to reach with that approach. The next step they have

2362
01:51:22,200 --> 01:51:25,760
Speaker 1: to reach is consistency on third down, which has been

2363
01:51:25,800 --> 01:51:31,000
Speaker 1: substandard to this point, and scoring with more yards after

2364
01:51:31,080 --> 01:51:34,760
Speaker 1: the catch. The New England offense has been largely successful

2365
01:51:34,800 --> 01:51:37,439
Speaker 1: because they had players who could get yards after the catch,

2366
01:51:37,479 --> 01:51:41,400
Speaker 1: whether you're talking about Edelman, Welker, Randy Moss and run

2367
01:51:41,520 --> 01:51:43,560
Speaker 1: down the list Troy Brown. You can go all the

2368
01:51:43,600 --> 01:51:46,200
Speaker 1: way back to Troy Brown. The guy's got yards after

2369
01:51:46,320 --> 01:51:48,880
Speaker 1: the catch. So that's the next step, and that's the

2370
01:51:48,960 --> 01:51:52,400
Speaker 1: step that the receiving corps has to take, not necessarily

2371
01:51:52,479 --> 01:51:55,040
Speaker 1: the quarterback. If this is going to be your approach

2372
01:51:55,120 --> 01:51:57,000
Speaker 1: on offense, and then we just say and we don't

2373
01:51:57,000 --> 01:51:58,639
Speaker 1: want to get caught in the weeds here and Steven

2374
01:51:58,680 --> 01:52:01,040
Speaker 1: I want you to get into But Mike taking a

2375
01:52:01,080 --> 01:52:02,920
Speaker 1: step back from all those numbers, which I see what

2376
01:52:03,000 --> 01:52:04,960
Speaker 1: you're saying, Chris to me, it's look, we got new

2377
01:52:05,040 --> 01:52:07,280
Speaker 1: parks here on offense. There are new starters, nine news

2378
01:52:07,280 --> 01:52:09,400
Speaker 1: starters from a year ago, and new guys coming in.

2379
01:52:09,800 --> 01:52:11,639
Speaker 1: This is going to evolve. I know they played six,

2380
01:52:11,720 --> 01:52:14,439
Speaker 1: they're working on a week seven now game seven, but

2381
01:52:14,560 --> 01:52:16,439
Speaker 1: it's still evolving. I think it will get better. I

2382
01:52:16,479 --> 01:52:18,800
Speaker 1: think which does get better actually, which is why I

2383
01:52:18,880 --> 01:52:22,840
Speaker 1: agree one with John Brown. Are there steps that Josh

2384
01:52:22,880 --> 01:52:25,200
Speaker 1: Allen has to take with his game? Yes, I'm not

2385
01:52:25,240 --> 01:52:27,639
Speaker 1: going to debate that for a second. But there's steps

2386
01:52:27,720 --> 01:52:30,519
Speaker 1: this receiving corps has to take also, And John Brown

2387
01:52:30,720 --> 01:52:33,680
Speaker 1: stated that on equivocally in the locker room yesterday. I

2388
01:52:33,720 --> 01:52:36,639
Speaker 1: think he's one hundred percent right. Everybody's got to improve,

2389
01:52:36,960 --> 01:52:39,320
Speaker 1: and the receivers where they have to improve is with

2390
01:52:39,439 --> 01:52:42,760
Speaker 1: their consistency of separation, not necessarily Brown or Beasley, but

2391
01:52:42,840 --> 01:52:45,719
Speaker 1: the rest of the lot and with yards after the catch.

2392
01:52:46,240 --> 01:52:50,240
Speaker 1: They have to improve in those areas your thoughts, Doctor Tasker, Well, well,

2393
01:52:50,640 --> 01:52:54,200
Speaker 1: everybody guess, and we do this naturally, But it's when

2394
01:52:54,240 --> 01:52:56,120
Speaker 1: you're inside the building, when you're on these teams, it

2395
01:52:56,400 --> 01:53:00,479
Speaker 1: makes absolutely no sense. You don't compare this Buffalo Bill team,

2396
01:53:01,080 --> 01:53:04,599
Speaker 1: particularly this Buffalo Bill's offense a last year's offense. They're

2397
01:53:04,720 --> 01:53:06,840
Speaker 1: nine new guys on it. It ain't gonna look the same.

2398
01:53:06,880 --> 01:53:08,559
Speaker 1: It's not supposed to look the same. They don't want

2399
01:53:08,600 --> 01:53:12,760
Speaker 1: it to look the same. So if if the good

2400
01:53:12,880 --> 01:53:16,280
Speaker 1: part of last year's offense was good enough to lose

2401
01:53:16,479 --> 01:53:20,160
Speaker 1: ten games, why do you want to see it. Don't

2402
01:53:20,200 --> 01:53:23,960
Speaker 1: start yelling now. The only number Steve cares about six

2403
01:53:24,040 --> 01:53:26,920
Speaker 1: and ten, five and one. Let this offense be what

2404
01:53:27,000 --> 01:53:29,000
Speaker 1: it's supposed to be. You got different guys, they're gonna

2405
01:53:29,040 --> 01:53:32,160
Speaker 1: play differently. You're you're not gonna have it all. It's

2406
01:53:32,200 --> 01:53:35,160
Speaker 1: never gonna be perfect. But they're playing way better that

2407
01:53:35,479 --> 01:53:37,559
Speaker 1: way more consistently than it did a year ago. If

2408
01:53:37,600 --> 01:53:39,960
Speaker 1: that's where you want to compare it to. They're gonna

2409
01:53:40,200 --> 01:53:43,479
Speaker 1: they're doing they're doing enough. We'd all like to see

2410
01:53:43,560 --> 01:53:46,720
Speaker 1: him do more, but I don't know that. I think

2411
01:53:46,920 --> 01:53:49,479
Speaker 1: that the missing ingredient, and it makes it sound like

2412
01:53:49,640 --> 01:53:51,800
Speaker 1: I'm maybe I'm overstating what people are saying. But this

2413
01:53:52,200 --> 01:53:54,240
Speaker 1: this long ball. If they hit one long ball a game,

2414
01:53:54,280 --> 01:53:57,080
Speaker 1: that ain't something gonna be some magic one that you

2415
01:53:57,240 --> 01:53:59,479
Speaker 1: wave over this offense all of a sudden, it's gonna

2416
01:53:59,479 --> 01:54:02,080
Speaker 1: be Kansas City with Matt Pat Mahomes. Right, come on,

2417
01:54:02,200 --> 01:54:04,680
Speaker 1: you're right, just do what Let them do what they do.

2418
01:54:05,240 --> 01:54:07,559
Speaker 1: Mario from Buffalo on the line with some thoughts about

2419
01:54:07,560 --> 01:54:09,840
Speaker 1: the Buffalo passing offense. Mario, go ahead, you're on the

2420
01:54:09,880 --> 01:54:13,080
Speaker 1: air with how are you guys doing? Good? Man? Taking

2421
01:54:13,160 --> 01:54:17,360
Speaker 1: my call? I agree with you, guys on a shut

2422
01:54:17,439 --> 01:54:22,400
Speaker 1: up about this de ball garbage, simply because record it

2423
01:54:22,479 --> 01:54:25,639
Speaker 1: speaks for itself. You know, to take what the defense

2424
01:54:25,720 --> 01:54:31,240
Speaker 1: gives you simply pick him down seven yards, ten yards.

2425
01:54:32,120 --> 01:54:36,120
Speaker 1: Then when a ball comes available, take it. Look at

2426
01:54:36,160 --> 01:54:38,400
Speaker 1: how John Sallon rolls out and how the defense gets

2427
01:54:38,440 --> 01:54:40,320
Speaker 1: scared when he rolls out because he has a guy

2428
01:54:40,400 --> 01:54:44,320
Speaker 1: given ability to run. Do not change his game. Let

2429
01:54:44,480 --> 01:54:48,160
Speaker 1: the game come to you. It's a it's a maturation thing, guys.

2430
01:54:48,320 --> 01:54:51,680
Speaker 1: I think I think this offensive coaching staff realizes that

2431
01:54:51,760 --> 01:54:54,000
Speaker 1: as much as they want to have it all to

2432
01:54:54,200 --> 01:54:58,440
Speaker 1: turn to or to call or to dial up. They're

2433
01:54:58,560 --> 01:55:02,040
Speaker 1: recognizing the fact that they have to take baby steps

2434
01:55:02,320 --> 01:55:04,800
Speaker 1: because of all the new parts that exist on this offense.

2435
01:55:04,840 --> 01:55:08,360
Speaker 1: Whether it's four new offensive linemen, a brand new receiving corps,

2436
01:55:09,560 --> 01:55:14,160
Speaker 1: all four new tight ends, or three new running backs.

2437
01:55:14,720 --> 01:55:18,080
Speaker 1: I mean, it's gonna take time to mesh all of

2438
01:55:18,160 --> 01:55:22,360
Speaker 1: that together, especially in a sport that is as scripted

2439
01:55:22,400 --> 01:55:25,600
Speaker 1: as football. I mean, all the planning and the stuff

2440
01:55:25,680 --> 01:55:30,040
Speaker 1: that goes into executing a sound game plan. When you

2441
01:55:30,160 --> 01:55:33,560
Speaker 1: add nine to eleven new parts to the equation, it's

2442
01:55:33,600 --> 01:55:35,880
Speaker 1: gonna take time for all of that to fit together

2443
01:55:36,000 --> 01:55:38,640
Speaker 1: in a seamless fashion in the snap of a finger.

2444
01:55:38,960 --> 01:55:42,360
Speaker 1: On plays that largely last three to five seconds, it's

2445
01:55:42,400 --> 01:55:45,120
Speaker 1: just not gonna magically happen right away. I get it.

2446
01:55:45,520 --> 01:55:47,280
Speaker 1: And it's fun to watch this long ball and all that.

2447
01:55:47,400 --> 01:55:48,960
Speaker 1: But here's the thing we've been harpening on all year

2448
01:55:49,000 --> 01:55:52,640
Speaker 1: and we've seen it. This team, first and foremost needs

2449
01:55:52,680 --> 01:55:54,680
Speaker 1: to do two things before they ever think about the

2450
01:55:54,760 --> 01:55:56,800
Speaker 1: long ball. Need to cut out the penalties. They need

2451
01:55:56,840 --> 01:55:59,560
Speaker 1: to cut out the turnovers. They did that yesterday turnover

2452
01:55:59,640 --> 01:56:03,520
Speaker 1: part that some penalties are really crushed him yesterday. They

2453
01:56:03,600 --> 01:56:05,200
Speaker 1: need to do that first. As long as they stay

2454
01:56:05,200 --> 01:56:08,880
Speaker 1: away from the turnovers, stay away from the penalties, I

2455
01:56:09,000 --> 01:56:11,200
Speaker 1: think that will make them feel a lot. We'll have

2456
01:56:11,280 --> 01:56:13,520
Speaker 1: a lot of good plays not taking off the board

2457
01:56:13,640 --> 01:56:16,080
Speaker 1: because of a holding penalty. And your defense is good

2458
01:56:16,200 --> 01:56:18,720
Speaker 1: enough to reward you for doing just that. You're gonna

2459
01:56:18,760 --> 01:56:21,080
Speaker 1: you're gonna cash in on more of your red zone chances.

2460
01:56:21,080 --> 01:56:22,720
Speaker 1: You're gonna stay on the field more, You're gonna third

2461
01:56:22,760 --> 01:56:24,880
Speaker 1: down efficient is gonna be better. So stick to the basics.

2462
01:56:24,920 --> 01:56:26,440
Speaker 1: I mean, this is what they really need to work on.

2463
01:56:26,600 --> 01:56:29,120
Speaker 1: Forget the long Bowl, and the Bills are overs and penalties,

2464
01:56:29,160 --> 01:56:31,640
Speaker 1: and the Bills are now nine and one in games

2465
01:56:31,720 --> 01:56:34,560
Speaker 1: that Josh Allen starts where they have one turnover or less,

2466
01:56:34,960 --> 01:56:38,600
Speaker 1: nine and one. Chris to beat man, Chris before we

2467
01:56:38,680 --> 01:56:40,000
Speaker 1: let you go, and we're running out of time here.

2468
01:56:40,160 --> 01:56:43,480
Speaker 1: Robert Foster inactive yesterday. I keep hoping that they find

2469
01:56:43,560 --> 01:56:45,800
Speaker 1: a role for him to play. Should I give that?

2470
01:56:45,920 --> 01:56:47,840
Speaker 1: Should I give up on that? Do you think I don't?

2471
01:56:48,200 --> 01:56:49,600
Speaker 1: I don't want you to, because I don't want to

2472
01:56:49,600 --> 01:56:51,000
Speaker 1: give up either. I don't want to give up on

2473
01:56:51,360 --> 01:56:53,440
Speaker 1: and fans were all up in arms when the inactive

2474
01:56:53,440 --> 01:56:55,240
Speaker 1: list came out yesterday and they were tweeting me up

2475
01:56:55,240 --> 01:56:57,080
Speaker 1: and down saying what's going on with Robert Foster? And

2476
01:56:57,160 --> 01:56:59,600
Speaker 1: I say, I stated it pretty simply, nothing's going on

2477
01:56:59,680 --> 01:57:02,960
Speaker 1: with Robert Foster. He's essentially a backup on this roster now.

2478
01:57:03,240 --> 01:57:06,320
Speaker 1: He is John Brown's backup. Now, if there are some

2479
01:57:06,520 --> 01:57:10,280
Speaker 1: elements of Buffalo's passing game at whatever level where they

2480
01:57:10,400 --> 01:57:12,880
Speaker 1: deem there as a deficiency, I think that's where you

2481
01:57:12,960 --> 01:57:14,920
Speaker 1: can turn to a guy like Robert Foster. And I

2482
01:57:15,000 --> 01:57:16,600
Speaker 1: know you and I were talking about this before we

2483
01:57:16,680 --> 01:57:19,720
Speaker 1: came on for this segment, but I think where Robert

2484
01:57:19,760 --> 01:57:23,160
Speaker 1: Foster can help this offense maybe take another step is

2485
01:57:23,240 --> 01:57:26,240
Speaker 1: in some of those deeper crossing routes. It's been sorely

2486
01:57:26,320 --> 01:57:28,880
Speaker 1: absent from Buffalo's passing game to this point, at least

2487
01:57:28,920 --> 01:57:31,240
Speaker 1: in my estimation. And I'm not going to pretend to

2488
01:57:31,320 --> 01:57:33,680
Speaker 1: remember every passing play that's been called by Brian Dable,

2489
01:57:33,760 --> 01:57:36,280
Speaker 1: but I think if they feel they need to diversify

2490
01:57:36,680 --> 01:57:39,200
Speaker 1: the offense, or they feel there's a tendency where they're

2491
01:57:39,240 --> 01:57:42,400
Speaker 1: getting a little bit too predictable, I think Robert Foster

2492
01:57:43,560 --> 01:57:47,480
Speaker 1: is a new card that you can pull out of

2493
01:57:47,520 --> 01:57:51,480
Speaker 1: your deck and play in a given week against a

2494
01:57:51,560 --> 01:57:54,360
Speaker 1: given opponent, and this week might be a good week

2495
01:57:54,400 --> 01:57:57,600
Speaker 1: to do that, because this is a Philadelphia Eagles secondary

2496
01:57:57,920 --> 01:58:01,600
Speaker 1: that is getting ripped apart by just about every quarterback

2497
01:58:01,680 --> 01:58:03,840
Speaker 1: worth his sault in the league with two or three

2498
01:58:03,920 --> 01:58:07,760
Speaker 1: receivers that he can throw to. They've been injured back there,

2499
01:58:08,040 --> 01:58:11,080
Speaker 1: they've been subpar back there. So if you want to

2500
01:58:11,960 --> 01:58:15,320
Speaker 1: maybe introduce, you know, a new card to your hand,

2501
01:58:15,760 --> 01:58:18,240
Speaker 1: Robert Foster is certainly one that you can play, and

2502
01:58:18,320 --> 01:58:20,400
Speaker 1: I think playing it this week wouldn't be a terribly

2503
01:58:20,480 --> 01:58:25,800
Speaker 1: bad idea. Yeah, I agree with Robert Foster got deactivated

2504
01:58:25,840 --> 01:58:28,440
Speaker 1: because Sean mcdermots munt has always been and we saw

2505
01:58:28,480 --> 01:58:30,760
Speaker 1: it last year in training camp when there was a

2506
01:58:30,840 --> 01:58:36,600
Speaker 1: three way competition for the quarterback spot. Right, you earn

2507
01:58:36,680 --> 01:58:38,880
Speaker 1: your way onto the field, you earn your way on

2508
01:58:39,000 --> 01:58:40,880
Speaker 1: the field, and you earn your way off the field.

2509
01:58:41,000 --> 01:58:43,880
Speaker 1: Robert Foster is in a deep pool of pretty good guys.

2510
01:58:44,160 --> 01:58:46,480
Speaker 1: It's hard to get on the field, particularly when you

2511
01:58:46,520 --> 01:58:48,680
Speaker 1: got a guy like you know, John Brown and Cole

2512
01:58:48,760 --> 01:58:51,720
Speaker 1: Beasley and these guys and like Duke Williams. I mean,

2513
01:58:51,760 --> 01:58:54,200
Speaker 1: they're making the most of their opportunities and for all

2514
01:58:54,240 --> 01:58:56,520
Speaker 1: the things we don't see, all the practices, all the

2515
01:58:56,640 --> 01:58:58,400
Speaker 1: meetings and all the stuff. There's a lot that goes

2516
01:58:58,440 --> 01:59:00,240
Speaker 1: into earning your way on the field, and I would

2517
01:59:00,320 --> 01:59:02,240
Speaker 1: argue that John Brown is probably the MVP of this

2518
01:59:02,320 --> 01:59:04,040
Speaker 1: team through the first half of the season with what

2519
01:59:04,200 --> 01:59:07,160
Speaker 1: he has done for this offense. Leads the team in receptions,

2520
01:59:07,200 --> 01:59:11,080
Speaker 1: receiving yards, touchdowns, and is among the league leaders in

2521
01:59:11,120 --> 01:59:16,400
Speaker 1: a couple of categories as well. And he's been the

2522
01:59:16,480 --> 01:59:19,440
Speaker 1: most consistent player on offense at least fifty yards receiving

2523
01:59:19,520 --> 01:59:21,280
Speaker 1: every week out. There's only one other player in the

2524
01:59:21,360 --> 01:59:23,400
Speaker 1: league that has done that to this point, Field Yates,

2525
01:59:23,440 --> 01:59:26,040
Speaker 1: we will credit for this statistic, but at least fifty

2526
01:59:26,080 --> 01:59:28,080
Speaker 1: yards receiving in every game this season for their team,

2527
01:59:28,120 --> 01:59:29,840
Speaker 1: there's only one other player that's done that, and that's

2528
01:59:29,880 --> 01:59:33,320
Speaker 1: the Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas. Michael Thomas and John Brown.

2529
01:59:33,720 --> 01:59:36,960
Speaker 1: That's it. And so I think Robert Foster, just to

2530
01:59:37,000 --> 01:59:40,760
Speaker 1: wrap this up, Robert Foster, I think can serve a

2531
01:59:40,920 --> 01:59:44,040
Speaker 1: role for this team. And let's not forget this. The

2532
01:59:44,480 --> 01:59:47,000
Speaker 1: while he had while Josh Allen has established a very

2533
01:59:47,120 --> 01:59:49,680
Speaker 1: nice rapport on the field with John Brown and Cole Beasley.

2534
01:59:50,200 --> 01:59:52,040
Speaker 1: Let's not forget who he had the best rapport with

2535
01:59:52,440 --> 01:59:54,600
Speaker 1: on the field last year. It was Robert Foster. So

2536
01:59:54,680 --> 01:59:57,560
Speaker 1: if there is something missing in the passing game, that

2537
01:59:57,760 --> 01:59:59,560
Speaker 1: is a guy that you can probably turn to. And

2538
01:59:59,600 --> 02:00:02,480
Speaker 1: I would think that Robert Foster and Josh Allen could

2539
02:00:02,520 --> 02:00:06,680
Speaker 1: re establish that chemistry pretty quickly. Um McDermott today four thirty,

2540
02:00:07,160 --> 02:00:08,800
Speaker 1: I think it's fourth. I think it's four four And

2541
02:00:08,880 --> 02:00:12,080
Speaker 1: the injury really of CONSEQUENTI City appeared to be Kevin Johnson.

2542
02:00:12,200 --> 02:00:14,080
Speaker 1: Kevin Johnson. We got to follow up on Duke Williams too.

2543
02:00:14,160 --> 02:00:16,680
Speaker 1: He did return to the game, but took a hard

2544
02:00:16,720 --> 02:00:19,120
Speaker 1: fall on that shoulder, So you know, maybe coach has

2545
02:00:19,120 --> 02:00:21,160
Speaker 1: an update on him, you know, even if he just

2546
02:00:21,280 --> 02:00:24,080
Speaker 1: tells us he's day to day instead of week to week,

2547
02:00:24,200 --> 02:00:26,120
Speaker 1: you know that kind of stuff. We'll take that at

2548
02:00:26,160 --> 02:00:29,160
Speaker 1: this point, Um, But we don't usually get too many

2549
02:00:29,240 --> 02:00:31,480
Speaker 1: updates on Monday, and I understand why there's a future

2550
02:00:31,520 --> 02:00:33,720
Speaker 1: advantage there, and they really don't have to give any

2551
02:00:33,800 --> 02:00:36,440
Speaker 1: true updates until Wednesday, when the first injury reports has

2552
02:00:36,480 --> 02:00:38,360
Speaker 1: the Dolphins again in five weeks before we let you go,

2553
02:00:38,440 --> 02:00:43,160
Speaker 1: what do you think it fits? Gamer? Many guy is

2554
02:00:43,200 --> 02:00:46,720
Speaker 1: a gamer. Um, you know, the game's pretty much done,

2555
02:00:46,800 --> 02:00:49,840
Speaker 1: and that guy's scrambling for a touchdown and lowering his head.

2556
02:00:50,480 --> 02:00:53,240
Speaker 1: I mean, for a guy that went to Harvard. Sometimes

2557
02:00:53,280 --> 02:00:56,480
Speaker 1: I think he's he's half cracked. But uh, I think

2558
02:00:56,520 --> 02:00:59,320
Speaker 1: it's just his competitive nature. And he's a very easy

2559
02:00:59,360 --> 02:01:01,400
Speaker 1: guy to rally around. And I think that's why he

2560
02:01:01,560 --> 02:01:04,440
Speaker 1: is such a popular player with teammates, even I mean, Eric,

2561
02:01:04,560 --> 02:01:07,480
Speaker 1: would you know what I mean? He's and and and

2562
02:01:07,760 --> 02:01:10,920
Speaker 1: and it goes both ways. Because think about the impromptu

2563
02:01:11,120 --> 02:01:14,120
Speaker 1: retirement of Eric Wood here two years ago, who made

2564
02:01:14,160 --> 02:01:16,800
Speaker 1: it up here for the press conference. Ryan Fitzpatrick was here,

2565
02:01:17,320 --> 02:01:20,120
Speaker 1: but Eric was on the show in the first hour

2566
02:01:20,160 --> 02:01:21,600
Speaker 1: and he and I had this talk. You know, every

2567
02:01:21,680 --> 02:01:26,000
Speaker 1: quarterback brings something to the table. And Fitzpatrick, he's played,

2568
02:01:26,160 --> 02:01:28,840
Speaker 1: he's thirty six, he's played forever, he's been for he

2569
02:01:28,880 --> 02:01:31,640
Speaker 1: can still run right. You know why you know what

2570
02:01:31,800 --> 02:01:33,840
Speaker 1: that guy does and why he's been able to play

2571
02:01:33,920 --> 02:01:36,160
Speaker 1: until he's thirty six, played for eight different teams, play

2572
02:01:36,240 --> 02:01:38,600
Speaker 1: throwing a touchdown. The only guy and he's done historic things,

2573
02:01:38,840 --> 02:01:41,200
Speaker 1: only got to throw a touchdown for eight different teams

2574
02:01:41,800 --> 02:01:44,240
Speaker 1: is because he is an elite leader. He may not

2575
02:01:44,320 --> 02:01:46,400
Speaker 1: be an elite arm he may not be an elite athlete,

2576
02:01:46,480 --> 02:01:50,080
Speaker 1: and he's super smart. That guy is an elite leader,

2577
02:01:50,240 --> 02:01:52,680
Speaker 1: and those play and the players respond to him, and

2578
02:01:52,720 --> 02:01:56,000
Speaker 1: you're right, he is an incredibly intelligent Harvard education and

2579
02:01:56,040 --> 02:01:59,640
Speaker 1: all that. But the guy has the ability to elevate

2580
02:01:59,720 --> 02:02:03,840
Speaker 1: the players around him. He is an elite leader in

2581
02:02:03,880 --> 02:02:06,960
Speaker 1: the National Football League of guys of being a guy

2582
02:02:07,400 --> 02:02:10,080
Speaker 1: players play hard for. You saw it yesterday and I

2583
02:02:10,160 --> 02:02:12,680
Speaker 1: think they said something about I think it said something

2584
02:02:12,720 --> 02:02:16,840
Speaker 1: about fits that later in the week when they backtracked

2585
02:02:16,840 --> 02:02:19,880
Speaker 1: and said Rosen's not gonna start Fitz, is that effort

2586
02:02:19,920 --> 02:02:22,000
Speaker 1: you got yesterday from the rest of the Dolphins players

2587
02:02:23,320 --> 02:02:26,080
Speaker 1: was a statement about mcgreen. He's just gotta he's just

2588
02:02:26,160 --> 02:02:27,760
Speaker 1: gotta cut a hole in his beard now so his

2589
02:02:27,840 --> 02:02:30,320
Speaker 1: chin strap fits. I mean, that thing almost doesn't good

2590
02:02:30,360 --> 02:02:31,960
Speaker 1: on his chinnel. What do you guy coming up on

2591
02:02:32,000 --> 02:02:35,240
Speaker 1: the website? What are you writing? Got some good noteworthy numbers, uh,

2592
02:02:35,560 --> 02:02:39,720
Speaker 1: numbers on John Brown and numbers on Josh Allen, who

2593
02:02:39,840 --> 02:02:42,560
Speaker 1: is leading the league in a statistical category that people

2594
02:02:42,640 --> 02:02:47,760
Speaker 1: might not be aware of. So tune in for that tomorrow. Nio. Yeah, Well,

2595
02:02:47,800 --> 02:02:50,400
Speaker 1: this is kind of an offshoot of that. Um. It's

2596
02:02:50,440 --> 02:02:54,360
Speaker 1: more statistically based than you know, my preferences and in

2597
02:02:54,520 --> 02:02:56,200
Speaker 1: terms of what happened in a game, I don't know.

2598
02:02:56,240 --> 02:02:58,600
Speaker 1: We'll see if we can revitalize that at at some

2599

Speaker 1: point in the time. I'm your biggest are you. I'm

02:03:54,360 --> 02:03:57,120
Speaker 1: the end zone. He he Josh missed him earlier, and

2612
02:03:57,200 --> 02:04:00,480
Speaker 1: he got angry and demonstrative about it and then came

2613
02:04:00,560 --> 02:04:02,360
Speaker 1: back at him with that three year on touchdown pass.

2614
02:04:02,400 --> 02:04:04,120

2622
02:04:21,720 --> 02:04:24,600
Speaker 1: biggest takeaway from the Bills win over the Dolphins. It

2623
02:04:24,680 --> 02:04:27,200
Speaker 1: was an interest. It was an interesting, weird game, Steven.

2624
02:04:27,240 --> 02:04:30,440
Speaker 1: It started in an interesting fashion early on when the

2625
02:04:30,480 --> 02:04:33,160
Speaker 1: Bills had the football. I'm gonna find it here now,

2626
02:04:33,480 --> 02:04:36,480
Speaker 1: Buffalo's the second play of the game, Josh Ellen incomplete

2627
02:04:36,520 --> 02:04:40,720
Speaker 1: passed at Beasley and Christian Wilkins first overall pick of

2628
02:04:40,760 --> 02:04:43,800
Speaker 1: the Dolphins, right the Clemson defensive tackle. I'll be honest

2629
02:04:43,840 --> 02:04:46,080
Speaker 1: with you, when it was hard to find people to

2630
02:04:46,360 --> 02:04:48,200
Speaker 1: look for and say I'm gonna keep an eye on

2631
02:04:48,320 --> 02:04:50,800
Speaker 1: this guy. But going into the game, I thought, I'll

2632
02:04:50,800 --> 02:04:53,800
Speaker 1: watch Christian Wilkins first round pick, thirteenth overall. You got

2633
02:04:53,880 --> 02:04:56,360
Speaker 1: tossed for throwing a punch early on. If you're watching

2634
02:04:56,440 --> 02:04:58,120
Speaker 1: on the MSG feed, you can see it down near

2635
02:04:58,160 --> 02:05:00,880
Speaker 1: the bottom third of your screen. Christian Wilkins lasted two

2636
02:05:00,920 --> 02:05:04,280
Speaker 1: plays that it was unfortunate for him and not smart. Uh,

2637
02:05:04,360 --> 02:05:06,120
Speaker 1: And he talked about it in the locker room after

2638
02:05:06,120 --> 02:05:08,440
Speaker 1: we're saying it was not smart, but just a weird

2639
02:05:08,480 --> 02:05:10,240
Speaker 1: way to start the game. One of their better defenders

2640
02:05:10,320 --> 02:05:12,080
Speaker 1: gets tossed. I happened to be sitting up in the

2641
02:05:12,320 --> 02:05:15,400
Speaker 1: alumni suite. I've never been there before. Is my first

2642
02:05:15,560 --> 02:05:16,880
Speaker 1: time to chance to be there. I saw a lot

2643
02:05:16,920 --> 02:05:18,640
Speaker 1: of guys I played with, and a lot of guys

2644
02:05:18,760 --> 02:05:21,640
Speaker 1: were before me and came after me. And we were

2645
02:05:21,680 --> 02:05:24,800
Speaker 1: sitting there watching it, and the official announced that, you know,

2646
02:05:25,040 --> 02:05:27,960
Speaker 1: number ninety four is he is disqualified from the game.

2647
02:05:28,480 --> 02:05:32,000
Speaker 1: And I'm sitting next to Edward Kowski, former Bill's quarterback

2648
02:05:32,080 --> 02:05:34,520
Speaker 1: wide receiver, and he goes. He looked at me and

2649
02:05:34,520 --> 02:05:37,600
Speaker 1: he said, has anybody ever seen anybody get thrown out

2650
02:05:37,640 --> 02:05:41,600
Speaker 1: of a game that fast? Yes? I sat there and

2651
02:05:41,640 --> 02:05:43,320
Speaker 1: I didn't say anything. I looked down, I kind of

2652
02:05:43,360 --> 02:05:46,320
Speaker 1: looked around. I raised my hand like, yeah, I've seen that.

2653
02:05:46,400 --> 02:05:50,320
Speaker 1: I happened to me. Five plays kicked off, one two, three,

2654
02:05:51,200 --> 02:05:57,240
Speaker 1: punt out so I had i'd not been thrown a punch,

2655
02:05:57,440 --> 02:05:59,800
Speaker 1: I had seen it. Yeah, oh yeah, that's nothing. I

2656
02:06:00,040 --> 02:06:01,760
Speaker 1: think he could might have got me for the world's

2657
02:06:01,800 --> 02:06:04,320
Speaker 1: fastest ejection, though I might have been. I don't know

2658
02:06:04,320 --> 02:06:07,120
Speaker 1: if I held the NFL record for ejection five plays in.

2659
02:06:07,520 --> 02:06:10,080
Speaker 1: Certainly he's got it now. Wilkins hasn't now right second

2660
02:06:10,120 --> 02:06:14,560
Speaker 1: play in the game, but that's um. Yeah, it was strange.

2661
02:06:15,960 --> 02:06:19,560
Speaker 1: Cody Ford was finishing the play, yeah, and Wilkins didn't

2662
02:06:19,600 --> 02:06:21,720
Speaker 1: like it and took a swipe at him. And certainly

2663
02:06:21,800 --> 02:06:23,320
Speaker 1: you can't miss it. I mean, he took a swipe.

2664
02:06:23,400 --> 02:06:25,280
Speaker 1: And it doesn't matter in the NFL if you punch

2665
02:06:25,400 --> 02:06:29,520
Speaker 1: somebody m open hand or close fist and you even

2666
02:06:29,560 --> 02:06:33,640
Speaker 1: if you don't connect, you're done. I'm not finding fault

2667
02:06:33,680 --> 02:06:35,840
Speaker 1: with that call, but I will find fault with some calls,

2668
02:06:35,880 --> 02:06:39,640
Speaker 1: including some roughing the passer calls against the Bills. Yes, um,

2669
02:06:39,760 --> 02:06:42,200
Speaker 1: I just thought they were they were calling it too closely.

2670
02:06:42,280 --> 02:06:44,760
Speaker 1: I think the one low hit, Okay, I can get it.

2671
02:06:44,760 --> 02:06:47,720
Speaker 1: He didn't die for Ryan Fitzpatrick's legs or his knees,

2672
02:06:47,760 --> 02:06:49,240
Speaker 1: but that's where he wound up, all right, If you

2673
02:06:49,280 --> 02:06:51,360
Speaker 1: want to call that but it was a Shack Lawson

2674
02:06:51,560 --> 02:06:54,640
Speaker 1: roughing the pastor was ridiculous. That was It's ridiculous. Yeah,

2675
02:06:54,640 --> 02:06:56,960
Speaker 1: I agree, Shack Lawson bumped in. He didn't even hit

2676
02:06:57,000 --> 02:07:00,480
Speaker 1: a biped with his hand, with his back or away

2677
02:07:00,560 --> 02:07:04,640
Speaker 1: from him and his hands off, and Fitz wouldn't even

2678
02:07:04,640 --> 02:07:06,800
Speaker 1: have lost his feet had he not been losing his

2679
02:07:06,880 --> 02:07:10,000
Speaker 1: momentum anyway. But I agree with you. I think the

2680
02:07:10,080 --> 02:07:12,880
Speaker 1: ones that really bother me are the ones may of

2681
02:07:12,960 --> 02:07:16,600
Speaker 1: the holding penalties. Cody Ford got called on a Frank

2682
02:07:16,720 --> 02:07:18,840
Speaker 1: Gore run that was a really nice run around the

2683
02:07:19,000 --> 02:07:20,960
Speaker 1: end and came back and it was a hold. He

2684
02:07:21,040 --> 02:07:23,600
Speaker 1: got caught nailed for it. The pre snap penalts had

2685
02:07:23,640 --> 02:07:28,440
Speaker 1: a false start. The holding penalties are are the ones

2686
02:07:28,480 --> 02:07:31,440
Speaker 1: that I'm you know that bother you. Ye. Some of

2687
02:07:31,440 --> 02:07:32,920
Speaker 1: them were legit and some of them were kind of

2688
02:07:32,920 --> 02:07:35,840
Speaker 1: a little bit phantom. Josh Allen took a snap three

2689
02:07:35,920 --> 02:07:38,320
Speaker 1: quick three step drop bang balls out, got a holding

2690
02:07:38,360 --> 02:07:41,000
Speaker 1: penalty on Dion Dawkins. I was like, and I looked

2691
02:07:41,040 --> 02:07:43,720
Speaker 1: at it, and I'm like, hat, No, I didn't see it,

2692
02:07:44,000 --> 02:07:47,440
Speaker 1: and so I get it. But it's like I said

2693
02:07:47,640 --> 02:07:51,680
Speaker 1: in last segment with Chris Brown, forget about all the

2694
02:07:51,720 --> 02:07:53,840
Speaker 1: things that Bills need to improve. Start there. Start with

2695
02:07:53,920 --> 02:07:55,920
Speaker 1: the turnovers, and start with the penalties if you can.

2696
02:07:56,120 --> 02:07:59,360
Speaker 1: If you can alleviate those or mitigate those, everything else

2697
02:07:59,440 --> 02:08:01,920
Speaker 1: becomes better everything else. I squeezing a couple of phone

2698
02:08:01,960 --> 02:08:06,240
Speaker 1: calls here, Jason calling from Alaska. Where in Alaska are you? Jason? Hi,

2699
02:08:06,320 --> 02:08:08,880
Speaker 1: I'm an Anchorage, Anchorage. Okay, go ahead, and you're on

2700
02:08:08,920 --> 02:08:11,680
Speaker 1: the air with this. Well you kind of already just

2701
02:08:11,800 --> 02:08:13,320
Speaker 1: touch base on what I was gonna talk about. Well,

2702
02:08:13,320 --> 02:08:16,800
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Nat, I believe I saw a stat san

2703
02:08:16,880 --> 02:08:19,080
Speaker 1: that the Bills leads the league in pre snap penalties

2704
02:08:19,080 --> 02:08:21,800
Speaker 1: of like twenty three or twenty four. Yeah, last going

2705
02:08:21,840 --> 02:08:23,760
Speaker 1: into last week, I haven't looked at the stats are

2706
02:08:23,800 --> 02:08:26,280
Speaker 1: looked at compared to him this week after yesterday, but yeah,

2707
02:08:26,320 --> 02:08:27,680
Speaker 1: going in it was I think it was twenty two

2708
02:08:27,680 --> 02:08:29,920
Speaker 1: of their forty four penalties or twenty three or the

2709
02:08:30,040 --> 02:08:33,640
Speaker 1: forty four where pre snap that's bad, that's bad. Yeah,

2710
02:08:33,640 --> 02:08:35,560
Speaker 1: And then I just wanted to see what your opinions

2711
02:08:35,600 --> 02:08:38,280
Speaker 1: are on They're calling a lot of penalties now, these

2712
02:08:38,320 --> 02:08:41,280
Speaker 1: guys you know, grabbing around the legs or ankle, call

2713
02:08:41,360 --> 02:08:43,600
Speaker 1: them rough in the pastor and it just seems petty.

2714
02:08:43,960 --> 02:08:46,280
Speaker 1: I know they're protecting their legs, but yeah, well that's

2715
02:08:46,320 --> 02:08:48,600
Speaker 1: the point. I was just making a steeve here, Jason.

2716
02:08:48,640 --> 02:08:51,400
Speaker 1: I do think there were some petty tiki tack calls

2717
02:08:51,440 --> 02:08:54,240
Speaker 1: that they made yesterday, and whatever you gotta. I guess

2718
02:08:54,320 --> 02:08:55,960
Speaker 1: you know you're there to do a job if you're official.

2719
02:08:56,000 --> 02:08:58,320
Speaker 1: I just think everything doesn't have to be called, including

2720
02:08:58,400 --> 02:09:00,320
Speaker 1: some of the holding calls. Yeah. I agree. By the way,

2721
02:09:00,440 --> 02:09:02,760
Speaker 1: Jason from Anchorage. They've got five people from Anchorage staying

2722
02:09:02,760 --> 02:09:06,000
Speaker 1: in my house this weekend. He's not Jason, You're not

2723
02:09:06,080 --> 02:09:08,680
Speaker 1: one of them, I guess, but I agree. Here's the thing,

2724
02:09:08,880 --> 02:09:12,640
Speaker 1: there are certain things the league wants to make very

2725
02:09:12,720 --> 02:09:15,680
Speaker 1: clear the quarterback. You're not allowed to hit the quarterbacks

2726
02:09:15,960 --> 02:09:18,600
Speaker 1: below the knees, and you're not allowed to hit them

2727
02:09:19,080 --> 02:09:20,960
Speaker 1: with the top of your helmet, and you can't hit

2728
02:09:21,040 --> 02:09:24,960
Speaker 1: him in the head. That's gonna be That's gonna be

2729
02:09:25,200 --> 02:09:29,880
Speaker 1: pretty much a given throughout the league. Now. Certainly, it

2730
02:09:30,040 --> 02:09:32,480
Speaker 1: leaves the defenders nothing when they're crawling towards the quarterback

2731
02:09:32,480 --> 02:09:34,080
Speaker 1: and they can't get there if somebody pulls them down

2732
02:09:34,120 --> 02:09:36,760
Speaker 1: and they fall and the quarterback happens to be standing there,

2733
02:09:36,800 --> 02:09:38,800
Speaker 1: they fall up against the bottom of his leg. That's

2734
02:09:38,920 --> 02:09:41,200
Speaker 1: roughing the pastor. I doesn't think it doesn't seem fair.

2735
02:09:41,840 --> 02:09:44,720
Speaker 1: But as long as it's the same for everybody, I

2736
02:09:44,840 --> 02:09:46,680
Speaker 1: think we're all okay with the fact that you kind

2737
02:09:46,680 --> 02:09:48,960
Speaker 1: of want your best the stars in the league. You

2738
02:09:49,040 --> 02:09:51,360
Speaker 1: want them, you want them out there, and that's where

2739
02:09:51,440 --> 02:09:54,640
Speaker 1: that comes from. So you're right, I'm okay with it

2740
02:09:54,720 --> 02:09:56,560
Speaker 1: as long as they call it for our guy as

2741
02:09:56,600 --> 02:09:59,280
Speaker 1: well as they do against our guy, our defense. And

2742
02:09:59,480 --> 02:10:01,840
Speaker 1: if got a guy falling up against Josh Allen's leg,

2743
02:10:01,880 --> 02:10:05,040
Speaker 1: I want the thing called for them too. If it's

2744
02:10:05,240 --> 02:10:07,240
Speaker 1: that's when I have a problem with it. So if

2745
02:10:07,240 --> 02:10:09,040
Speaker 1: they're gonna call him the same both ways and all

2746
02:10:09,080 --> 02:10:10,800
Speaker 1: the way across the board around the league, you know,

2747
02:10:10,880 --> 02:10:12,800
Speaker 1: we can all live with it as long as it's consistent.

2748
02:10:13,000 --> 02:10:14,560
Speaker 1: Thanks for your call. We're gonna take a break. We're

2749
02:10:14,600 --> 02:10:16,400
Speaker 1: coming back. One Bill's Live coming to you from the

2750
02:10:16,680 --> 02:10:19,680
Speaker 1: Seneca Studio and Archerd Park, presented by Callid to Health.

2751
02:10:20,000 --> 02:10:22,200
Speaker 1: This is One Bill's Drive. This is One Bills Live.

2752
02:10:22,240 --> 02:10:39,880
Speaker 1: I'm Buffalo Bill's Radio. Okay, so what have we learned

2753
02:10:39,920 --> 02:10:42,280
Speaker 1: from today's show? It is brought to you by Skyworks,

2754
02:10:42,320 --> 02:10:46,600
Speaker 1: the official construction equipment rental company of the Buffalo Bills.

2755
02:10:46,720 --> 02:10:49,040
Speaker 1: We just rocketed through this show today. We're getting used

2756
02:10:49,040 --> 02:10:52,040
Speaker 1: to the routine after wins. Apparently, Eric Wood was with

2757
02:10:52,160 --> 02:10:54,440
Speaker 1: us the First Hour talked about Josh Allen and how

2758
02:10:54,480 --> 02:10:57,280
Speaker 1: he appears to be a slow starter in his game

2759
02:10:57,360 --> 02:11:01,440
Speaker 1: so far. Here's Eric Wood. You know, I didn't play

2760
02:11:01,560 --> 02:11:04,800
Speaker 1: quarterback in this league, but early in my career at

2761
02:11:04,840 --> 02:11:08,080
Speaker 1: times I did start myself slowing games because you're it's

2762
02:11:08,120 --> 02:11:11,440
Speaker 1: not routine playing against NFL talent week in and week out.

2763
02:11:11,520 --> 02:11:13,640
Speaker 1: Yet you know they can give you some different looks

2764
02:11:13,720 --> 02:11:15,480
Speaker 1: early in a game that you haven't seen before in

2765
02:11:15,520 --> 02:11:17,920
Speaker 1: your career. Early on, you saw a couple of pressures

2766
02:11:17,960 --> 02:11:21,720
Speaker 1: for the Dolphins, and they weren't completely foreign looks. I

2767
02:11:21,760 --> 02:11:24,440
Speaker 1: had seen them run similar schemes on film, but not

2768
02:11:24,600 --> 02:11:26,680
Speaker 1: exactly that, and they were able to get some pressure

2769
02:11:26,720 --> 02:11:29,840
Speaker 1: on them. Josh Allen, seventeen NFL starts still a work

2770
02:11:29,880 --> 02:11:31,600
Speaker 1: in progress. They were kind of saying that to us.

2771
02:11:31,800 --> 02:11:34,080
Speaker 1: Also on the show First Hour, Bill's rookie or second

2772
02:11:34,120 --> 02:11:37,480
Speaker 1: year linebacker Tremaine Edmonds talking about the home games how

2773
02:11:37,560 --> 02:11:39,840
Speaker 1: much he loves the atmosphere at New Era Field. Here's

2774
02:11:39,840 --> 02:11:43,880
Speaker 1: what he said. Man, I'd say I love that crowd.

2775
02:11:43,920 --> 02:11:46,120
Speaker 1: I love playing at home. Even wheel ways feel like

2776
02:11:46,200 --> 02:11:49,360
Speaker 1: a home game, right it. You know, it's even hard

2777
02:11:49,400 --> 02:11:50,840
Speaker 1: for me out there because you know, I'm the mic,

2778
02:11:50,920 --> 02:11:52,880
Speaker 1: so I'm trying to get the call and I'm holding

2779
02:11:52,920 --> 02:11:55,960
Speaker 1: my head because I can't really hear. But it's amazing, man.

2780
02:11:56,040 --> 02:11:57,920
Speaker 1: It gives with so much juice and energy out there

2781
02:11:58,000 --> 02:12:00,760
Speaker 1: is really effective and I know the other team can

2782
02:12:01,080 --> 02:12:02,960
Speaker 1: feel it up. You know, there was juice, there was energy.

2783
02:12:03,000 --> 02:12:04,840
Speaker 1: And see if there's two more home games coming up

2784
02:12:04,880 --> 02:12:07,640
Speaker 1: back to back weeks here, so still more work to

2785
02:12:07,720 --> 02:12:09,480
Speaker 1: be done for the Bills, obviously a lot to work on.

2786
02:12:09,680 --> 02:12:11,680
Speaker 1: But there you go one to oh in this three

2787
02:12:11,720 --> 02:12:13,720
Speaker 1: game homestand I think it's a good way to start it. Yeah,

2788
02:12:13,960 --> 02:12:16,960
Speaker 1: but you've got the Philadelphia Eagles coming in. I mean,

2789
02:12:17,440 --> 02:12:20,160
Speaker 1: and this is a team there. I think they're two

2790
02:12:20,320 --> 02:12:22,360
Speaker 1: three and one on the season, three and four, three

2791
02:12:22,400 --> 02:12:26,040
Speaker 1: and four. Y's right, three and four, just below five hundred.

2792
02:12:27,200 --> 02:12:30,680
Speaker 1: Got shellacked by the Cowboys last night, and I was

2793
02:12:30,760 --> 02:12:34,160
Speaker 1: surprised by that. It'll be interesting to see what you

2794
02:12:34,240 --> 02:12:36,680
Speaker 1: can get, what the Bills can glean from the film

2795
02:12:36,720 --> 02:12:39,280
Speaker 1: of the Cowboys game last night Sunday Night Football, with

2796
02:12:39,320 --> 02:12:42,600
Speaker 1: the Eagles going into Dallas, coming out of there with

2797
02:12:42,760 --> 02:12:44,640
Speaker 1: a big loss. They've lost to in a row, the Eagles.

2798
02:12:44,720 --> 02:12:46,960
Speaker 1: I'm at Minnesota at Dallas. This is the third eight

2799
02:12:47,040 --> 02:12:48,880
Speaker 1: game of a three game road stretch for the Eagles.

2800
02:12:48,880 --> 02:12:50,720
Speaker 1: I'm sure they're feeling that they do have a win.

2801
02:12:50,760 --> 02:12:52,880
Speaker 1: We were talking about Aaron Rodgers earlier. They have a

2802
02:12:53,120 --> 02:12:55,280
Speaker 1: seven point win at Green Bay this year. That's probably,

2803
02:12:55,320 --> 02:12:57,560
Speaker 1: They're not probably that is their best win of the season.

2804
02:12:57,720 --> 02:12:59,880
Speaker 1: They're capable. The Eagles are capable. Oh absolutely, They're just

2805
02:13:00,000 --> 02:13:01,960
Speaker 1: couple of years off their Super Bowl win. They're They're

2806
02:13:02,080 --> 02:13:04,360
Speaker 1: more than capable. All right, we'll talk more about that

2807
02:13:04,480 --> 02:13:06,400
Speaker 1: game as the week moves along. Tomorrow's show, one of

2808
02:13:06,480 --> 02:13:09,440
Speaker 1: our favorites, Kyle Brant from the NFL Network will join us.

2809
02:13:09,480 --> 02:13:11,920
Speaker 1: We'll get his take on Buffalo's win over the Dolphins

2810
02:13:12,000 --> 02:13:14,120
Speaker 1: and what he sees in the future. Good show today.

2811
02:13:14,160 --> 02:13:15,640
Speaker 1: We kind of I told you all along. I felt

2812
02:13:15,640 --> 02:13:17,280
Speaker 1: like we're just kind of floating through the show. Yeah,

2813
02:13:17,320 --> 02:13:19,160
Speaker 1: we're sliding down hill. It went fast. Is this what

2814
02:13:19,200 --> 02:13:20,880
Speaker 1: happens when they win? You just kind of feel like

2815
02:13:20,920 --> 02:13:23,840
Speaker 1: you're out of cloud. It must be. We're not quite sure.

2816
02:13:25,600 --> 02:13:29,080
Speaker 1: I don't know. I like it though, all right. We're
