1
00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:27,520
Speaker 1: This the One Bill's Lives presented by Klida Health.

2
00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:31,720
Speaker 2: All Right, welcome into a Wednesday edition of One Bill's Live.

3
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:35,400
Speaker 2: Chris Brown, Steve Chasker with you players back on the

4
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:39,800
Speaker 2: practice field as game plan installation begins today for the

5
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:42,800
Speaker 2: Bills as they prepare for their wild card matchup with

6
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:48,559
Speaker 2: the Jacksonville Jaguars in the three to six matchup Sunday

7
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:54,640
Speaker 2: at one pm at EverBank Stadium in Jacksonville, Florida. Supposed

8
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 2: to be nice weather sixty two, Yeah, I guess. I

9
00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:01,280
Speaker 2: guess it's going to be seventy five eighty Friday and Saturday,

10
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 2: and then a cold front is supposed to come through.

11
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:06,200
Speaker 2: Cold front, so the high will only be sixty two

12
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 2: on game day, which I think is probably perfect because

13
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 2: seventy eight, you know, if you haven't played in that

14
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 2: in three or four months, that's a little different.

15
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:15,399
Speaker 1: But sixty two, this.

16
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 3: Is it's an environment. Yeah, you should, they should. The

17
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 3: Bill should thrive in that.

18
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,760
Speaker 1: Sixty two cold front weather will not be a factor.

19
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 3: Bear me.

20
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 2: Good for them, though, Yeah, I'm not packing my I

21
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 2: don't think I'm packing my shorts though, not doing that.

22
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:35,200
Speaker 1: Okay, I don't trust it.

23
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:40,400
Speaker 3: I don't know, good game last night, you and I saw.

24
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 1: Oh Sabs got a little dicey there at the end.

25
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:45,480
Speaker 3: Brown and his family, most of his family, and me

26
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 3: and a buddy of mine were at the Sabers game,

27
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 3: not together. We did hook up between periods. That's right.

28
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 3: It was a fun game. Are you of the superstitious

29
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 3: type that since we were all there together at a

30
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 3: nice bit nice Sabers wind that you know we should

31
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 3: go again?

32
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 1: And no, yeah, I don't subscribe to that.

33
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 3: I don't.

34
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:08,639
Speaker 2: I have very little impact on the outcome of games. Yeah,

35
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 2: probably none at all.

36
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 3: I will say this though, we've had I've had a

37
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 3: new hat since the opening of the season, new Sabers hat,

38
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:19,960
Speaker 3: And I told you I usually switch out hats.

39
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 1: If I feel if it's not going well.

40
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 3: Well, I'm wearing this hat pretty regularly now to the

41
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 3: Sabers games.

42
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 1: It seems eleven at as well going well, it's going well.

43
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 1: I just keep wearing it. Yeah.

44
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 3: Well, great, and a great atmosphere too, Like seventeen thousand

45
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 3: people showed up. Oh yeah, night, it was great, very nice.

46
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was good to see.

47
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 3: The Vancouver Canucks, who's the who were the opponent last night,

48
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 3: have been struggling and they have been better on the road,

49
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 3: and last night I thought it showed they They played

50
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:52,359
Speaker 3: a really good hockey game and lost by two goal.

51
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:54,520
Speaker 3: They were down four to nothing for a hot minute,

52
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:57,800
Speaker 3: played a good third period, they played really well late

53
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 3: in the game. It reminded me of the Sabers of

54
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 3: years past, like you made it a game, but you're

55
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 3: still yeah, they come back. It's four to three for

56
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 3: a hot minute, right, so it's like, wow, here we go,

57
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,079
Speaker 3: and then the empty netter happens and it looks and

58
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 3: it's five to three. Sabs. Look, yeah, I was. I'm

59
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:22,919
Speaker 3: watching them, man, I'm liking them. It's fun. It's been fun,

60
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:24,359
Speaker 3: don't you know. We don't know how it's going to

61
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 3: turn out. But man, oh man, it's eleven out of

62
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 3: or ten out of eleven is it's pretty good stretch.

63
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 3: Eleven out of twelve, eleven out of twelve is pretty

64
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 3: good stretch.

65
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 1: Let's get into the dance. Just get to the chest.

66
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 3: It seems like a low bar, but the NHR, but

67
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 3: we sat there for seventeen years.

68
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 2: Well, right, this week's game and the proud sponsor of

69
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 2: this year's playoffs, we're talking about the Bills game. Now

70
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 2: we are is Northtown Automotive Company. It's whatever you're looking for,

71
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 2: you'll find it at Northtown, the official automotive dealer of

72
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 2: the Buffalo Bills. Want to get right into some transactions

73
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 2: that took place with respect to the roster. Some of

74
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 2: this precipitated by injury, so the Bills made a few

75
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 2: roster transactions today. So with Max Harrison unlikely to play Sunday,

76
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:22,239
Speaker 2: they have signed cornerback Dane Jackson to the active roster

77
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 2: from the practice squad. To create a spot on the

78
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:29,160
Speaker 2: active roster, they move defensive tackle Jordan Phillips to injured reserve.

79
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 2: They also signed quarterback Shane Bouchell back to the practice

80
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 2: squad after he was released by the Chiefs, along with

81
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 2: cornerback Darryl Porter Junior, who was with the club back

82
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:47,040
Speaker 2: in training camp, to have some depth down there. On Tuesday,

83
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 2: they signed kicker Matthew Wright to the practice squad in

84
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 2: case Matt Prater cannot kick on Sunday after re injuring

85
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 2: his squad on his kicking leg. Now Right is a

86
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 2: six year veteran kicked for a few different teams as

87
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 2: a fill in this season in Houston.

88
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 1: Washington and Tennessee.

89
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 2: His most productive season came as the kicker for Jacksonville

90
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty one, when he was twenty one of

91
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 2: twenty four on field goal attempts. So he has experience

92
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:21,159
Speaker 2: kicking at EverBank Stadium. His career long is fifty nine yards,

93
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 2: and coach McDermott said his experience in Jacksonville was a

94
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 2: factor in them choosing since.

95
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:29,279
Speaker 3: He's the guy that kicked the three field goals in

96
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 3: the nine.

97
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:31,839
Speaker 1: To six win over the Bills.

98
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, back and twenty twenty one.

99
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, so that's kind of where that kicker right now.

100
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:44,920
Speaker 2: So with that, here are the practice updates brought to

101
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:48,600
Speaker 2: you by leecom your Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine

102
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 2: not practicing today to rel Bernard with calf injury, Ty

103
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 2: Johnson ankle injury suffered in last week's game, Max Harrison ankle,

104
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:01,480
Speaker 2: Matt Mulano not practicing due to illness today and Matt

105
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 2: Prater with the quad limited in practice today, Jordan Poyer

106
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,359
Speaker 2: with the hamstring day, Kwon Jones with the calf, Dalton

107
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 2: Kincaidney and Shaq Thompson. Josh Allen is full go in

108
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 2: practice today. Other bit of news, the Bills open the

109
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 2: twenty one day practice window of DeMar Hamlin. He remains

110
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 2: on injured reserve right now, but he's going to begin

111
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:29,599
Speaker 2: practicing today. He's been on IR since mid October after

112
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:34,479
Speaker 2: tearing his peck muscle. The plan with Prater, according to

113
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 2: coach McDermott, is he will try to kick tomorrow and

114
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:41,040
Speaker 2: they'll see where he's at and determine if he's fit

115
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 2: to kick in the game on Sunday. So we should

116
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 2: know by Friday at the latest who will be kicking

117
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 2: on Sunday for Buffalo. In case you were wondering, the

118
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:54,480
Speaker 2: Bills worked out veteran kickers Matt Gay and Young Ho

119
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 2: Ku in addition to write before signing right to the

120
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 2: practice squad. It's kind of where the kicking situation sits

121
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 2: right now, still to be determined. You want to talk

122
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 2: about a revolving door in the kicking game this year

123
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 2: between hunters and kickers, it's been nuts and I don't know.

124
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 2: I know a lot of Bills fans have already expressed

125
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 2: to me just passing them on the street or on

126
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 2: social media like they're gripping because they know how close

127
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:31,680
Speaker 2: this game is expected to be and Jacksonville's got a

128
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 2: guy with a howitzer for a leg who can kick

129
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 2: it from Samy eight. Yeah, and you know we're getting

130
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 2: guys off the free agent wire.

131
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, we don't even have a guy right at the moment.

132
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 3: We don't even know who our guy is right now,

133
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 3: and only we're like five days out.

134
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 2: Well, we know we know the candidates of who it

135
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 2: could be, but we just don't know which one we'll

136
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 2: be kicking.

137
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 1: So that's kind of where all of that sits. Thought,

138
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 1: it was interesting.

139
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 2: Coach brought up something we discussed with the ESPNNFL analyst

140
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 2: Dan Orlovski on yesterday's show, how the Jacksonville defense from

141
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 2: one snap to the next will change their defensive structure

142
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 2: and go from like a fifty front into a three

143
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 2: to four and they'll just move personnel around, take personnel off,

144
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 2: put different personnel on. Anthony Campanelli, their defensive coordinator, will

145
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 2: change the picture from play to play, and so coach

146
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 2: McDermott was emphasizing how important it's going to be for

147
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:43,840
Speaker 2: the offense the offensive players to communicate with one another

148
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:46,720
Speaker 2: as to what they're looking at so they're all seeing

149
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 2: the same picture and identifying things the same way, which,

150
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 2: as you know, is a bigger challenge on the road

151
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 2: with crowd noise, you're gonna have to communicate a lot

152
00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 2: because they're changing stuff all the time.

153
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 1: It's an extra level of stress.

154
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 3: If it might be. One of the ways you combat

155
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:06,680
Speaker 3: that obviously is going fast as an offense. Don't let

156
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 3: them Yep, you can do that, don't let them substitute.

157
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 3: But you've got to have a plan, and you got

158
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:12,719
Speaker 3: to rehearse it. You got to you know, you got

159
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 3: to know and to do that after never having done

160
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 3: it really during the regular season, to put that in

161
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,960
Speaker 3: and get it right. It's it's a real challenge you

162
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 3: have every because you don't know when they're gonna want

163
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 3: to do that until you get into the game and

164
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:30,320
Speaker 3: you think, okay, every time we go, say what, thirteen personnel,

165
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:32,319
Speaker 3: or every time you go ten personnel, or every time

166
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:35,320
Speaker 3: you go twenty three personnel, they're trying to sub in

167
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 3: and sub out. So you get into that, you got

168
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 3: to go fast with that personnel group on the field,

169
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:42,959
Speaker 3: and you don't know who it's going to be. So

170
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:45,680
Speaker 3: it's everybody on the whole offensive side of the football's

171
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:47,280
Speaker 3: got to be up to snuff. If you do want

172
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 3: to combat their substituting with pace, well there are other

173
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:53,560
Speaker 3: ways you can do it as well. But there you

174
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:59,080
Speaker 3: have it. You you got to be on it. That's

175
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:02,320
Speaker 3: the challenge. If you get and your whole season's coming

176
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 3: down to the thing you just put in the game

177
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 3: plan this week. It's rough. That's why the playoffs are

178
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 3: so hard.

Speaker 2: a coach someday.

205
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:55,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, we are. He had that vibe about him.

206
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:58,319
Speaker 3: Players he played with Josh and the quarterbacks loved him.

207
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 3: He was a real help in the quarterback room, real

208
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 3: knowledgeable about the game was kind of pursuing that train

209
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:07,200
Speaker 3: of thought even as a player. Now, just you know,

210

211
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:12,520
Speaker 3: already in the It's not a fast track, sure on

212
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 3: the fast track when you well, we all know, if

213
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 3: you know how to whisper to quarterbacks, Yeah, that has value.

214
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 3: That is an accelerator to your coaching career.

215
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:23,680
Speaker 1: UH Draft news.

216
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 2: Ohio state wide receiver Carnell Tate is leaving school early

217
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:31,200
Speaker 2: and declaring for the NFL Draft. He's a projected top

218
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 2: ten pick. Tate caught fifty one passes for eight hundred

219
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:37,199
Speaker 2: and seventy five yards and nine touchdowns for the Buckeyes

220
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 2: this past season. With all the receivers that have come

221
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 2: out of that school the last five years.

222
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:44,319
Speaker 3: He'll get a shot.

223
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:47,079
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, and to say the least.

224
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 2: Finally, Alabama quarterback Tye Simpson has announced he is declaring

225
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 2: for the NFL Draft in a year where the quarterback

226
00:12:56,120 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 2: class is considered thin. And I've watched lot of ty

227
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:05,320
Speaker 2: Simpson's games. I think he's an effective quarterback, but he

228
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 2: is not an extraordinary physical specimen. He's more of a

229
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 2: cerebral player, I would say. On the high end like

230
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:19,079
Speaker 2: his ceiling. He's probably a Kirk Cousins. That's a ceiling.

231
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:19,800
Speaker 2: I think.

232
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:25,960
Speaker 3: He's his floor at fifteen starts right his floor, he's

233
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 3: like a career backup fifteen starts.

234
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 1: I think that's right.

235
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 3: It's not very many he.

236
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:36,600
Speaker 2: Thought about going back. I think they're wondering if there's

237
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:39,360
Speaker 2: going to be some upheaval there as to whether Kaelin

238
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:41,080
Speaker 2: de boor the head coach is going to stay put

239
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 2: or whether there's going to be a coaching change. So

240
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:46,920
Speaker 2: he's looking at the draft and saying, look, it's not

241
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:50,319
Speaker 2: deep with quarterback talents, so I could maybe come off

242
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:52,319
Speaker 2: the board in the second round, maybe the third round,

243
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 2: and get my career rolling.

244
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:57,199
Speaker 3: You can imagine there's some uncertainty going on around the

245
00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 3: Alabama building the way things ended up.

246
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:03,480
Speaker 1: Other people down there there, Oh.

247
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:05,319
Speaker 3: My gosh, they are beside themselves after that. It was

248
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 3: a bad loss in the playoffs and they got trounced.

249
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 3: They got trounced, and that's that never sits well with

250
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:18,040
Speaker 3: that program. So we'll we'll see. He yeah, and there's

251
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 3: there's even the players. I mean, you could bet that

252
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:25,560
Speaker 3: this quarterback asked around as to what was going to happen,

253
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 3: is trying to get the seat. Read the writing on

254
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 3: the wall, and he said, I'm out either because he

255
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 3: doesn't like what he heard or because he can't get

256
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:35,520
Speaker 3: enough information to make a real decision he wants. He said,

257
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 3: you know what, I'm just I'm I'm out there. Yeah.

258
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:39,840
Speaker 4: So that's.

259
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 3: It's the wild West.

260
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:46,400

00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 2: of the Bills then years past?

264
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 1: You let us know it.

265
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 2: EITO three to zero five fifty won eighty eight, five

Speaker 5: Well, yeah, Brian, I'm here. I just got a couple

290
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:16,560
Speaker 5: of minutia questions. If it's a one and done for

291
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 5: the Bills, is anybody on the hot seat? And Steve,

292
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 5: this is for you if you were going to bring

293
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:27,720
Speaker 5: somebody back from another team like you were talking the

294
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 5: other day. I'm throwing my hat in for Tremaine Edmonds.

295
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:34,720
Speaker 5: He just came back off the Bears. I are and

296
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 5: he's looking terrific. And I want to know Steve's schedule

297
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 5: at Rosies because every time I'm in there, he's never

298
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:43,360
Speaker 5: serving me.

299
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 3: Okay, don't. I don't scoop ice cream unless it's a

300
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 3: special occasion. Yeah.

301
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:55,640
Speaker 2: I'm not anticipating any coaching changes at the end of

302
00:16:55,680 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 2: this season, regardless of how the season ends, right, I mean,

303
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:06,080
Speaker 2: in case you haven't looked, Sean McDermott has the most

304
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 2: twelve wins seasons in Bill's coaching history, just added a

305
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:14,360
Speaker 2: fourth this season, all while playing a first place schedule,

306
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 2: and he's the winningest coach in team history, better than

307
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 2: Hall of Famer Marv Levy. So you got to the

308
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:26,640
Speaker 2: playoffs seven years in a row. There is no other

309
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:30,439
Speaker 2: team in the league that has done that. So I

310
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 2: don't know. I think the guy gives you an opportunity

311
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:38,399
Speaker 2: to win a Super Bowl every single year. Ask the

312
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:41,720
Speaker 2: Giants if they would kill for that. Ask the Jets,

313
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:45,320
Speaker 2: Ask half the league, Ask the seven teams that.

314
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:48,919
Speaker 3: Are scratching around for coaches more than half the league. Yeah, no,

315
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 3: I would not anticipate that either. Success, yes, and I

316
00:17:55,400 --> 00:18:00,560
Speaker 3: get it too. It's it's it's frustrating when you got

317
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:04,960
Speaker 3: a team that's always there and never the last one standing, right,

318
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:08,280
Speaker 3: and you're one of those. But the simple fact of

319
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:11,080
Speaker 3: matters is it's a particularly at this point in history.

320
00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 3: For the last half dozen six seven years since Sean

321
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:16,280
Speaker 3: McDermott came over, it's one of the most successful franchises

322
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 3: in sports, and they're gonna keep on keeping on. Certainly,

323
00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:26,199
Speaker 3: I don't think there'll be any major changes until the

324
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:29,720
Speaker 3: change is probably player associated. If Josh decides to retire

325
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:33,160
Speaker 3: after twelve or thirteen years or fifteen years or wherever

326
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 3: however he long, if he plays like these other guys,

327
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:39,360
Speaker 3: goes till he's forty forty one, forty two, I mean,

328
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:43,919
Speaker 3: they got another thirteen years with Josh. That'll be an

329
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:49,119
Speaker 3: interesting dynamic. But that's yeah, I don't I don't anticipate

330
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:52,199
Speaker 3: any of that. This they're humming along on all cylinders.

331
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:54,760
Speaker 3: And you go back and look at the games that

332
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:56,960
Speaker 3: they've lost, and certainly you can they can point the

333
00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 3: finger at themselves in some of them. But it's some

334
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:02,760
Speaker 3: And this happened to John Harbaugh in Baltimore. He's been

335
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:08,960
Speaker 3: there eighteen years, not eight eighteen. And if the kick

336
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:12,800
Speaker 3: goes through, he's not fired. Still not fired.

337
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:13,720
Speaker 1: They're in the playoffs.

338
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:17,240
Speaker 3: They're in the playoffs. That's what happened. You get these guys,

339
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:22,199
Speaker 3: and yeah, there's thirty one teams, the other teams in

340
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:26,400
Speaker 3: the league. They're all trying for the exact same prize

341
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:29,480
Speaker 3: that you are. They're all very good. They're all populated

342
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:32,359
Speaker 3: with a lot of smart people. They're all populated with

343
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:37,640
Speaker 3: a lot of tremendous athletes and great players, and you've

344
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:42,640
Speaker 3: got to hit on a million cylinders to hum along

345
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:45,160
Speaker 3: enough just to fly in and win the Super Bowl.

346
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:49,840
Speaker 3: Everybody throughout the particularly look at the AFCs. Let's say,

347
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:53,680
Speaker 3: for whatever happens, whatever happens, the AFC team this year

348
00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:57,160
Speaker 3: wins the Super Bowl. Think about where those teams have been.

349
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:05,520
Speaker 3: I mean, the Bills were people after I'll say it again,

350
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:17,359
Speaker 3: after the Bills beat the Carolina Panthers forty to nine, Everybody,

351
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:20,160
Speaker 3: i mean every caller on the post game show right

352
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:22,920
Speaker 3: after the game was calling for Sean McDermott and Brandon

353
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 3: Bean to be fired after a forty to nine win.

354
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:29,320
Speaker 3: That's where this team would have to come from. And

355
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:32,200
Speaker 3: all the other teams are the same way. The Chargers,

356
00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:37,040
Speaker 3: the Broncos, the Patriots, all these teams, they're all in

357
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:40,320
Speaker 3: the same boat. They're all flawed, they've all been ups

358
00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:43,200
Speaker 3: and down, They've all had ups and downs. The Patriots

359
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:45,359
Speaker 3: fans were beside themselves when they gave up a twenty

360
00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:48,000
Speaker 3: one point lead to the Bills in their own building,

361
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:51,760
Speaker 3: That's just that's the world you live in when you're

362
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:53,960
Speaker 3: playing in the National Football League. So no, I don't

363
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:57,119
Speaker 3: anticipate that, you know, that'd being the time for this.

364
00:20:57,440 --> 00:20:59,640
Speaker 3: Every other team's in the exact same boat you are,

365
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:03,160
Speaker 3: you know, And you got six teams looking for head coaches,

366
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:06,399
Speaker 3: and it's been reported that three teams who do have

367
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:09,840
Speaker 3: a head coach who aren't in the playoffs are are

368
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:12,359
Speaker 3: milling around looking at those coaches that have been fired too.

369
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:16,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, like the Dolphins, like the Dolphins, like McDaniel in plays,

370
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 2: So yeah.

371
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:20,560
Speaker 3: This is not that.

372
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 1: Yeah.

373
00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:26,040
Speaker 2: And as for Tremaine Edmonds, he's got another year left

374
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:29,480
Speaker 2: on his contract with the Bears, and even if you

375
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:31,879
Speaker 2: acquired him via trade, you'd be on the hook for

376
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:35,200
Speaker 2: thirteen point nine million in base salary. I don't see

377
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:38,040
Speaker 2: the Bills investing there that way, especially after signing to

378
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:41,800
Speaker 2: Rel Bernard to a contract extension this past offseason, not

379
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:43,960
Speaker 2: to mention the fact that it is a very strong

380
00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:48,399
Speaker 2: linebacker draft. I anticipate the Bills will add at the

381
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:52,719
Speaker 2: linebacker position in the draft before they look for a

382
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:56,080
Speaker 2: prized free agent signing. I just don't see them spending

383
00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 2: their money that way. I think they would draft a

384
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:02,560
Speaker 2: linebacker before they would sign one in free agency or

385
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:05,920
Speaker 2: execute a trade for somebody like a Tremaine Endmans, especially

386
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:07,400
Speaker 2: at that price tag.

387
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:13,359
Speaker 1: Let's go to Mike and Syracuse. What's up, Mike, Hi, Chris.

388
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:14,480
Speaker 6: I see how you guys doing.

389
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:16,760
Speaker 7: Surf again.

390
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:18,680
Speaker 6: Cut off the other day, but I appreciate you guys

391
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:20,800
Speaker 6: giving a quick update on Bruce Smith. I want to

392
00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:23,359
Speaker 6: see I got cut off when I called in at

393
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:27,119
Speaker 6: the last game. It's high marked there, so I appreciate

394
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:30,240
Speaker 6: you guys talking about that. Was that was cool to hear. Anyways,

395
00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:34,399
Speaker 6: just just moving on quick comments about your your topic

396
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:36,719
Speaker 6: of the day. I don't want to be too obvious

397
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:39,960
Speaker 6: about it, but I think that the most obvious thing

398
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:41,960
Speaker 6: with the Bills this year, going into the playoffs with

399
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:44,439
Speaker 6: their team is just like you guys already mentioned the

400
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 6: roller coaster ride, that it's been up and down, up

401
00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:49,679
Speaker 6: and down, up and down. I truly believe that. I

402
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 6: think any team that is going to face us in

403
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:54,200
Speaker 6: the playoffs we get by Jacksonville, I think they would

404
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:56,239
Speaker 6: be worried. I think anybody we face if we move

405
00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:58,560
Speaker 6: on will just be worried if we're going to get

406
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:01,160
Speaker 6: the high up bills or the down low bills, because

407
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:02,960
Speaker 6: I think if we get the high up bills where

408
00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 6: where things are firing and all fill and others and

409
00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:06,800
Speaker 6: stuff like that, I really think we can beat anybody.

410
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:10,720
Speaker 6: I really think that's a possibility. I truly believe that.

411
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:13,920
Speaker 6: And then on top of it, just you guys were

412
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:18,320
Speaker 6: a minute ago just talking about McDermott. I think people

413
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:21,320
Speaker 6: calling for calling for his head for one reason or another.

414
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:24,240
Speaker 6: I I've come to the conclusion I just think it's nonsense.

415
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:28,040
Speaker 6: I really think if that guy was to get let go,

416
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:31,400
Speaker 6: I think another team he his phone would be ringing

417
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 6: off the hook in two seconds for another job. Yes,

418
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:35,920
Speaker 6: because I just I think he is a good coach.

419
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:39,040
Speaker 6: I think he's he's done great things with this program.

420
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:42,400
Speaker 6: And the guy just he bleeds Buffalo and the fans

421
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:44,520
Speaker 6: and everything like that. I just think he's an overall

422
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:47,720
Speaker 6: awesome person. On top of it, and then I just

423
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:49,399
Speaker 6: said one quick question. I know you guys kind of

424
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:52,360
Speaker 6: mentioned about it the other day. I'm really hoping this

425
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:53,440
Speaker 6: this is just my opinion.

426
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:54,360
Speaker 4: I'm I don't know why.

427
00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:56,960
Speaker 6: I've always been kind of high on Gabe Davis. I

428
00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:58,800
Speaker 6: was glad when they resigned him this year. I know

429
00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:02,080
Speaker 6: he's not a game wrecker of a player, but I

430
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:04,439
Speaker 6: was just looking for you guys's comments. I'm hoping he

431
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 6: gets activated for the game, just like you guys mentioned

432
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 6: because he was on Jacksonville last year. Maybe we can

433
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:12,240
Speaker 6: pull some from that. And also just his play against

434
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:14,159
Speaker 6: the Jets, and I know the Jets stink in the

435
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:16,040
Speaker 6: in the game we went to the last game this

436
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:19,960
Speaker 6: past Sunday, he made some great, very sure handed catches

437
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:23,200
Speaker 6: that were contested, and I thought there were tough catches.

438
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:26,480
Speaker 6: So I'm really hoping they activate him because I know

439
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:29,400
Speaker 6: his major issue for years there was just his catch

440
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:31,960
Speaker 6: percentage was low. I think he barely had fifty percent

441
00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:33,879
Speaker 6: or something like that. He was dropping a lot of balls.

442
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:36,560
Speaker 6: I know that was an issue, you know, with the

443
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:39,480
Speaker 6: Bills as well, So I was just interested in comments

444
00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:41,480
Speaker 6: on that and I can hang up and listen and

445
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 6: go Bills.

446
00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:43,880
Speaker 1: Thanks guys, Yeah, thanks, thanks.

447
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:46,399
Speaker 2: He Yeah, the one in the end zone that our

448
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:49,040
Speaker 2: msgviewers are looking at, he moss the defender to make

449
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:51,800
Speaker 2: that touchdown catch. And then he also made a catch

450
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:53,359
Speaker 2: in the red zone at the other end of the

451
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:57,480
Speaker 2: field on a quick slant tight coverage there and he

452
00:24:57,480 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 2: had to rip the ball away from the defender to

453
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:02,159
Speaker 2: that reception. I think what he put on tape this

454
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:07,520
Speaker 2: week will probably earn him an active jersey on game

455
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:10,720
Speaker 2: day this weekend. That's just the way I feel about it.

456
00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:14,480
Speaker 2: So we know Josh trusts him implicitly. I mean, you're

457
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:16,679
Speaker 2: right about the catch rate. It is fifty percent for

458
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 2: his career. It's not pretty. He has an uncanny way

459
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:23,959
Speaker 2: of making the impossible catches. Yeah, he makes the impossible

460
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:24,639
Speaker 2: ones more.

461
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:25,600
Speaker 1: Than he makes the easy ones.

462
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:29,399
Speaker 3: Yeah. And as for the roller coaster, you're right. I

463
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:32,520
Speaker 3: think most Bills fantasye it the way you do, Mike.

464
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:36,919
Speaker 3: The Bills can beat anybody on any given Sunday, I

465
00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:40,760
Speaker 3: mean anybody and make him look bad doing it. But

466
00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:45,520
Speaker 3: we've also seen him lose to the Miami Dolphins, who

467
00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:51,800
Speaker 3: are hot garbage. That's a problem. That's a problem. So

468
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:57,480
Speaker 3: what team will show up, I don't know. I think

469
00:25:57,480 --> 00:25:59,280
Speaker 3: they're gonna play really well. I think they're a really

470
00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:02,040
Speaker 3: tough team to be And I think this, for lack

471
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:03,600
Speaker 3: of a better way to put it, and I think

472
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:06,560
Speaker 3: it's not completely one hundred percent like I'm saying it,

473
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:09,360
Speaker 3: but I'm gonna say it like this anyway. I think

474
00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:11,600
Speaker 3: they've been waiting for a game that counts. This is

475
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:13,520
Speaker 3: the team that's been like we've been talking, they've been

476
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:16,040
Speaker 3: in it and they've been in the AFC Championship, last year,

477
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 3: Divisional Round, Divisional Round, AFC Championship. They have been in

478
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:23,320
Speaker 3: the playoffs playing for a chance to go to the

479
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:26,480
Speaker 3: super Bowl for six straight years, seven out of eight.

480
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:30,679
Speaker 3: And the guys who've been here a long time know

481
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:33,000
Speaker 3: that those are the games that you really got to win.

482
00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:34,680
Speaker 3: Those are the games that matter. Those are the games

483
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:36,760
Speaker 3: you're trying to get to to give yourself a chance.

484
00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:39,639
Speaker 3: And I think there's some guys, particularly the long and

485
00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:41,800
Speaker 3: the tooth guys on this roster, have been waiting for

486
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:45,439
Speaker 3: this game for a long time, the whole season, and

487
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:48,280
Speaker 3: I think they've I think there were times early in

488
00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:50,119
Speaker 3: this season when they were looking at the schedule going,

489
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:53,200
Speaker 3: Kyle League, can we just get there? Yeah? You get

490
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:55,359
Speaker 3: this team going four and oh, and they're going, okay,

491
00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:59,240
Speaker 3: none of these teams have even they've all been speed bumps.

492
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:02,920
Speaker 3: Let's come on, and I gotta go through fourteen more

493
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:05,760
Speaker 3: weeks of this waiting for a chance to play for

494
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:07,679
Speaker 3: a game that matters, and and they showed it. It

495
00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:10,800
Speaker 3: showed in their play. They were they laid down in

496
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:14,359
Speaker 3: that Dolphins game. I mean, they're just the Falcons game.

497
00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:18,600
Speaker 3: They just they were like just waiting, right, I mean,

498
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:21,360
Speaker 3: well it's here now. They showed up for the Chiefs game, right,

499
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:23,520
Speaker 3: I mean they wanted that team game so that you

500
00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:27,040
Speaker 3: could see it, so that you know, that may give

501
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:28,879
Speaker 3: you some hope saying, Okay, now they finally got a

502
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:34,159
Speaker 3: game that matters. Problem is unless lest we forget that

503
00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 3: when you get to these games that matter, the other

504
00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:40,880
Speaker 3: team is not the Miami Dolphins. They're not the Jets. Yeah,

505
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:45,399
Speaker 3: it's the Jacksonville Jacksonville Jaguars, who are on a heater.

506
00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:48,920
Speaker 3: So you get so you better hope you can turn

507
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:51,880
Speaker 3: it on when you need it now. And uh cause

508
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:53,480
Speaker 3: it's it's all or nothing.

509
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:57,159
Speaker 1: Let's go to Gary on a cell. What's up Gary?

510
00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:00,000
Speaker 7: Hey, guys are all doing Gary good?

511
00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:01,560
Speaker 1: Yeah?

512
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:05,560
Speaker 7: The last years they could have run it. Last year

513
00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:07,160
Speaker 7: the year that you know, for years they couldn't run

514
00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:09,840
Speaker 7: the ball. Now they can't throw the ball. I think

515
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:12,200
Speaker 7: our defense is uh. I think they're playing a lot

516
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:13,560
Speaker 7: better at the end of the season. I think a

517
00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:17,520
Speaker 7: lot better. I think we all can agree there. So

518
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:19,920
Speaker 7: I think if it's a if they play well defensively

519
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:24,400
Speaker 7: and they get timely passed catching, I think they can.

520
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:26,640
Speaker 7: I think they can go, you know, pretty far and play.

521
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:27,920
Speaker 7: I don't know if they'll go to the super Bowl,

522
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:30,640
Speaker 7: but they could. They could do it. They could, they

523
00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:32,439
Speaker 7: could beat some people. I'm not going to put them

524
00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:36,480
Speaker 7: the super Bowl. I don't know about that, but I'm nervous,

525
00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:38,040
Speaker 7: but nervously excited, I guess.

526
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:38,600
Speaker 1: Yeah.

527
00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:42,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, Steve and I were talking about this last night

528
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:47,000
Speaker 2: when we were chatting at the Savers game. And they

529
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:51,440
Speaker 2: get past Jacksonville, that might be their hardest game on

530
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:54,400
Speaker 2: the matchup on the AFC side of the Ledger, just

531
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:57,160
Speaker 2: in terms of strengths and weaknesses that they might face

532
00:28:57,200 --> 00:28:58,520
Speaker 2: the rest of the way on the road to the

533
00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:00,200
Speaker 2: super Bowl. So you get by this one and you

534
00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:02,680
Speaker 2: might have a real shot at it. Yeah, this is

535
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:03,280
Speaker 2: a toughie.

536
00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:05,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're still gonna have to It's it's still gonna

537
00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:06,720
Speaker 3: be tough because you're still gonna have to go on

538
00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:11,600
Speaker 3: the road. Right, and if if say if this is

539
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:18,080
Speaker 3: the only game where the underdog wins, underdog being the

540
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:20,680
Speaker 3: sixth seed rather than the three seed. And if everything

541
00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:24,360
Speaker 3: else holds holds, you're gonna the Bills will head to.

542
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:27,080
Speaker 1: Wait to see who wins.

543
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:28,840
Speaker 3: Right, They'll have to wait to see who wins, but

544
00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:33,600
Speaker 3: they'll head to If the Patriots no, they would head

545
00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:36,640
Speaker 3: to Denver because they would be.

546
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:40,760
Speaker 1: The local here. If you assume the Chargers upset, Right.

547
00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:46,400
Speaker 3: If the Chargers lose and the and the Houston Texans

548
00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:49,400
Speaker 3: lose against the number one seed, the Bills will be

549
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:52,120
Speaker 3: the lowest seed. They'd have to go into Denver. Who's

550
00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:54,320
Speaker 3: the Texans? You're playing the Steelers.

551
00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:58,000
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, right, four five, three, six, two seven, So.

552
00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:00,280
Speaker 3: You get my point. If the Bills are the low seed,

553
00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:01,840
Speaker 3: they're gonna head into the number one seed on the

554
00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:09,240
Speaker 3: road in Denver. They do, but it's still gonna be tough.

555
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:09,800
Speaker 1: YEP.

556
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:13,239
Speaker 3: I agree with Brownie. I think the winner of this

557
00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:15,720
Speaker 3: game it's gonna have a good look at it. Is

558
00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:17,320
Speaker 3: the is gonna have a good look at it. And

559
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:20,120
Speaker 3: they've got These two teams seem to me at the

560
00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:23,160
Speaker 3: current moment. It hasn't been this way all season, but

561
00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:25,840
Speaker 3: the current moment, they seem to be the most complete

562
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:27,800
Speaker 3: and well rounded, being able to beat you on both

563
00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:28,480
Speaker 3: sides of the ball.

564
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:29,520
Speaker 8: Uh.

565
00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:32,920
Speaker 3: The Bills defense in their past coverage has really elevated,

566
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:36,080
Speaker 3: certainly Max Harrison being down Mike put a dent in

567
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:39,400
Speaker 3: that for the Bills this weekend. But Jacksonville can throw

568
00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:41,040
Speaker 3: it all over the yard now they can't run it.

569
00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:44,200
Speaker 3: The Bills can run it, but the Bills haven't really

570
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:46,959
Speaker 3: had to throw it. If they get Kinkaid and Knox involved,

571
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:48,920
Speaker 3: along with James Cook involved in the passing game, the

572
00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:52,960
Speaker 3: Bills are a handful. So I think the winner of

573
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:54,680
Speaker 3: this game, You're right, Brownie, I think they're gonna have

574
00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:55,640
Speaker 3: a look at it.

575
00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:58,480
Speaker 1: Gotta take a break here. When we come back.

576
00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:01,200
Speaker 2: More of your phone calls, so if you're holding it

577
00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 2: eight oh three oh five fifty, we'll get to you

578
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:05,280
Speaker 2: when we get back here on one Bills Live, presented

579
00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:17,200
Speaker 2: by coliut of Health, It's Buffalo Bills Radio.

580
00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:20,480
Speaker 1: All right back here on one Bills Live.

581
00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:23,560
Speaker 2: Chris Brown, Steve tasking with you and twenty of people

582
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:26,520
Speaker 2: waiting on the lines at eight oh three five fifty

583
00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:28,960
Speaker 2: one eight eight eight five fifty two five point fifty.

584
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:31,640
Speaker 2: Where we are asking you today, what's the biggest difference

585
00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:36,000
Speaker 2: with this year's playoff version of the Bills, then years past.

586
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:38,960
Speaker 2: So we'll lead off with Kevin in Hamburg.

587
00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:40,800
Speaker 1: What's up, Kevin, I tell you doing?

588
00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:44,240
Speaker 8: Thanks for taking my call. I'm sure you've probably heard

589
00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:47,240
Speaker 8: all I probably hear from now on to the rest

590
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:49,840
Speaker 8: of your your show. With that question is coming up,

591
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:54,240
Speaker 8: I have to say, unfortunately, is the Bill's offensive inconsistencies

592
00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:59,680
Speaker 8: this year, especially against teams that are not wonderful like

593
00:31:59,840 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 8: the Bengals or the Falcons who didn't even make the playoffs,

594
00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:07,320
Speaker 8: and just I mean, the Bengals are terrible defense, and

595
00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:10,520
Speaker 8: we took the second half to finally start getting ourselves

596
00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:14,200
Speaker 8: going offensively. The Bengals defense is probably only the Cowboy

597
00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:16,840
Speaker 8: defense is equally bad, you know bad they are ranked

598
00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:20,120
Speaker 8: this year. And the Falcons they had a couple of

599
00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:22,760
Speaker 8: games they got hot, Yeah around us, but there's no

600
00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:24,640
Speaker 8: way we'd have gotten a hole like we would have

601
00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:27,560
Speaker 8: if we were the offensive team we were last year

602
00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:31,560
Speaker 8: and barely and not beat them or for a stink.

603
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:34,320
Speaker 8: I guess you could say. So, I mean, we got

604
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:38,160
Speaker 8: to get ourselves going offensively. So that's my answer to question.

605
00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:41,480
Speaker 1: Uh, yeah, I see where you're coming from. There.

606
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:45,120
Speaker 2: I will say you know, the games you're talking about

607
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:51,080
Speaker 2: were an eon ago. I'm actually encouraged by Buffalo's last

608
00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:55,880
Speaker 2: two victories on the road from this perspective. Yes, they

609
00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:59,520
Speaker 2: got off to a slow start against the Patriots, but

610
00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:01,360
Speaker 2: they were able to turn it on and stage an

611
00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:07,000
Speaker 2: enormous comeback down twenty one points and one with unbelievable

612
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:11,840
Speaker 2: execution and play calling. And then two weeks later, or

613
00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:14,760
Speaker 2: maybe it was the next week in Cleveland, they get

614
00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:18,360
Speaker 2: out to a fast start and then their defense is

615
00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:21,080
Speaker 2: able to hold on. Now I realize Cleveland doesn't have

616
00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:24,920
Speaker 2: an offense that's impressive at all, especially with a rookie quarterback.

617
00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:28,960
Speaker 2: My point is, I think in these last two road

618
00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:33,040
Speaker 2: victories by the Bills, they have demonstrated they can win

619
00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:37,720
Speaker 2: in different ways on the road, and so I'm mildly

620
00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:40,560
Speaker 2: encouraged by that. I'm not like, Ah, don't even worry

621
00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:42,480
Speaker 2: about it. It's not going to be a problem, because

622
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:46,480
Speaker 2: we know slow starts have been somewhat of an issue

623
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:49,040
Speaker 2: for this team for good stretches of the season.

624
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:53,360
Speaker 3: There's make no mistake about it. Though. When they're on

625
00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:56,240
Speaker 3: the road, offensively, they have not been as good, except

626
00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:58,080
Speaker 3: for the Carolina game, which I keep going back to

627
00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:01,840
Speaker 3: they go at Miami, they score thirteen points. At Houston,

628
00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:05,360
Speaker 3: they scored nineteen points. At Pittsburgh Good Day, they scored

629
00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:08,920
Speaker 3: twenty six points. But they had sat Cleveland. At Cleveland

630
00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:13,680
Speaker 3: they scored twenty three or three. The one outlier is

631
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:16,359
Speaker 3: when they go to New England they hang thirty five

632
00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:18,680
Speaker 3: on the Patriots after dropping twenty one points in the

633
00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:19,240
Speaker 3: first half.

634
00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:20,719
Speaker 1: You know, they only had seven at half time.

635
00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:23,040
Speaker 3: They had seven at half times, so that was an explosion.

636
00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:26,920
Speaker 3: But when they're on the road, yeah, they have not

637
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:28,879
Speaker 3: scored points at the same rate they have at home.

638
00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:31,479
Speaker 3: That's that's not a revelation, that's kind of the way

639
00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:35,479
Speaker 3: football works. But that leads to the inconsistencies. I think,

640
00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:36,720
Speaker 3: as Munge as anything.

641
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:39,960
Speaker 2: I think what's also different about this team in comparison

642
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:43,360
Speaker 2: to last year's playoff version is their defense down the

643
00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:49,120
Speaker 2: stretch here has demonstrated more consistency. The way they played

644
00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:54,200
Speaker 2: against the Eagles was very impressive. I know their run

645
00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:57,120
Speaker 2: defense has been a problem for much of this season.

646
00:34:57,760 --> 00:35:01,000
Speaker 2: I think it's been better in recent way. Not great,

647
00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:04,799
Speaker 2: but it's been better. And their pass defense has been outstanding.

648
00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:09,040
Speaker 2: I mean since Week six Tradevius White has the lowest

649
00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:13,600
Speaker 2: completion percentage against in the league and Christian Benford has

650
00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:16,960
Speaker 2: the lowest passer rating against in the league. Since Week six.

651
00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:19,279
Speaker 2: I mean, those two guys have really been locking it

652
00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:23,799
Speaker 2: down on the outside. And this three to three five

653
00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:28,120
Speaker 2: nickel package that Bobby Babbage and Sean McDermott have designed

654
00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:31,719
Speaker 2: has yielded positive results when it comes to generating a

655
00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:34,720
Speaker 2: pass rush. They may not be getting sacks, but they're

656
00:35:35,239 --> 00:35:39,960
Speaker 2: speeding up quarterbacks internal clocks. They're getting hurried throws, ill

657
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:45,719
Speaker 2: advised decisions. And this team is top ten in takeaways

658
00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:49,839
Speaker 2: since week nine or ten, I think. So They're not

659
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:51,839
Speaker 2: at the top of the league in total takeaways all

660
00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:54,960
Speaker 2: season long, which I know where Jacksonville lives, but the

661
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:56,359
Speaker 2: second half of the season they are.

662
00:35:56,880 --> 00:35:59,040
Speaker 1: They've done a much better job of taking the ball away.

663
00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:01,879
Speaker 1: So I think those things will help.

664
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:04,920
Speaker 3: And it's and you're gonna need it because, like I said,

665
00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:07,240
Speaker 3: this is a team that has not played as sharp

666
00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:09,560
Speaker 3: on the road offensively as they have at home. And

667
00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:12,279
Speaker 3: I know you heard they were playing in Jacksonville this week,

668
00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:15,680
Speaker 3: so that is a road game. This is one of

669
00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:17,960
Speaker 3: the This is the time though you got you gotta

670
00:36:18,040 --> 00:36:20,840
Speaker 3: find a way to win on both all three sides

671
00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:24,120
Speaker 3: of the football, all three. That's why the kickers coming

672
00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:27,840
Speaker 3: in here. We got you know, Matthew Wright is the kicker.

673
00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:35,600
Speaker 3: Probably probably uh Wishnowski is the third punter the Bills

674
00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:40,920
Speaker 3: have had. You've got a defense that now is playing

675
00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:43,080
Speaker 3: and can kind of hold their endo the table up

676
00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:45,960
Speaker 3: for an offense who has not played well on the road.

677
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:47,239
Speaker 3: So you're gonna have to find a way to win

678
00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:50,839
Speaker 3: this game. Yeah, now, certainly about six fewer points. You

679
00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:53,960
Speaker 3: feel like that. You feel like the offense has got

680
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:57,719
Speaker 3: it under the under their hood to rev in any

681
00:36:57,760 --> 00:36:59,880
Speaker 3: given moment. And we've seen it like we saw it

682
00:36:59,880 --> 00:37:02,560
Speaker 3: in the New England game up there where they you know,

683
00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:06,239
Speaker 3: they hung twenty eight points on the Patriots in the

684
00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:09,759
Speaker 3: second half alone, So that's you know, they've got it

685
00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:14,000
Speaker 3: under the hood. And like I said, you would like

686
00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:16,239
Speaker 3: to see him in games that matter, like this one

687
00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:20,640
Speaker 3: in particular. Right, they dig deep and find a way

688
00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:23,280
Speaker 3: to do it. The inconsistency is well put by Kevin.

689
00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:25,560
Speaker 3: That's the one thing that's a little different. I don't

690
00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:26,880
Speaker 3: know if you got as much faith and seeing that

691
00:37:26,920 --> 00:37:30,040
Speaker 3: you're going to see it consistently. We'll see.

692
00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:31,839
Speaker 1: Let's go to Tom and lack of wan and ask

693
00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:32,759
Speaker 1: what's up Tom.

694
00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:34,200
Speaker 8: Hey, guys.

695
00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:40,920
Speaker 9: Two things both from the last game, which were wonderful,

696
00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:45,279
Speaker 9: to say the least. I wondered if they also gave

697
00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:48,800
Speaker 9: Joe Brady the day off because there wasn't one bubble screen,

698
00:37:49,239 --> 00:37:52,040
Speaker 9: which I hope they can carry forward going into the

699
00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:57,280
Speaker 9: playoffs here because it's you were just talking about slow

700
00:37:57,320 --> 00:38:01,000
Speaker 9: starts and being inconsistent. There's one thing that's killing drives

701
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:03,120
Speaker 9: for him. It's the bubble screen. I know it works

702
00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:06,320
Speaker 9: once every six or seven times. I have no problem

703
00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:09,440
Speaker 9: with screen with swing passes and looking the other way

704
00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:11,840
Speaker 9: and then dumping it off to a running back or something.

705
00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:14,440
Speaker 9: But the bubble screen, to me, is just a terrible

706
00:38:14,440 --> 00:38:16,960
Speaker 9: play and I hope they put it away at least

707
00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:20,560
Speaker 9: until next season. And then the other thing was I've

708
00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:24,080
Speaker 9: been to many road games, and throughout the fifty two years,

709
00:38:24,120 --> 00:38:29,080
Speaker 9: I always wondered why we saw very very few instant replays,

710
00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:33,279
Speaker 9: and this last game was remarkable. Through most of the

711
00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:36,640
Speaker 9: first quarter and the second and through the game, they

712
00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:39,440
Speaker 9: were replaying almost every game, so like it was like

713
00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:41,480
Speaker 9: when you're sitting home and watching it, So I hope

714
00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:44,640
Speaker 9: they carry that into the new high Mark Stadium for

715
00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:45,200
Speaker 9: next year.

716
00:38:45,800 --> 00:38:48,040
Speaker 1: All right, fair enough, Tom, thanks very much.

717
00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:49,759
Speaker 3: Yeah.

718
00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:52,320
Speaker 2: I look, you're not the first person that's called about

719
00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:55,719
Speaker 2: the bubble screens and the tunnel screens and all of that.

720
00:38:57,920 --> 00:39:01,000
Speaker 2: Khalil Shakir also didn't really play last week, just so

721
00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:03,040
Speaker 2: you know, And that's probably one of the reasons you

722
00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:04,960
Speaker 2: didn't see a lot in the screen game.

723
00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:07,640
Speaker 1: Khalil after catch guy.

724
00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:11,279
Speaker 3: Yes, Khalil's a very good run after catch receiver, and

725
00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:13,680
Speaker 3: you play to your guy's strengths, get him the ball

726
00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:14,400
Speaker 3: and let him run.

727
00:39:14,680 --> 00:39:15,759
Speaker 1: That's yeah.

728
00:39:15,760 --> 00:39:19,759
Speaker 3: And the fact they didn't run any last week, I mean,

729
00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:23,279
Speaker 3: that's how how obviously do you have to get And

730
00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:26,040
Speaker 3: and the fact not for nothing he didn't should tell

731
00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:27,839
Speaker 3: you how uncommitted he is to it.

732
00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:29,480
Speaker 1: Not for nothing.

733
00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:33,880
Speaker 2: He's got the longest touchdown for the Bills this season,

734
00:39:34,520 --> 00:39:36,840
Speaker 2: fifty four yards the bubble screen and it was on

735
00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:40,080
Speaker 2: a screenplay to the right flat against the Carolina Panthers,

736
00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:43,480
Speaker 2: and he ran the rest of the way. So that's

737
00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:45,960
Speaker 2: why they keep doing it right, wrong or indifferent, no

738
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:48,120
Speaker 2: matter how you feel about it. Got to take a

739
00:39:48,120 --> 00:39:50,840
Speaker 2: break here when we come back more of your phone calls.

740
00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:52,640
Speaker 2: So if you're holding at eight oh three, oh five

741
00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:54,359
Speaker 2: to fifty, be patient. We'll do our best to get

742
00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:57,719
Speaker 2: to you in short order. Here on a Wednesday edition

743
00:39:57,840 --> 00:39:59,920
Speaker 2: of One Bills Live, presented by Collide Health It.

744
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:20,120
Speaker 10: Buffalo Bills Radio.

745
00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:17,279
Speaker 2: From the Coach's Office is presented by CfBT Copy Your

746
00:40:17,360 --> 00:40:21,800
Speaker 2: Facts Business Technology, the official office technology company of the

747
00:40:21,880 --> 00:40:25,319
Speaker 2: Buffalo Bills. And we heard Sean McDermott touch on a

748
00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:29,520
Speaker 2: little bit today Steve in his press conference about how

749
00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:33,239
Speaker 2: communication is going to be of the utmost importance for

750
00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:39,080
Speaker 2: the offensive unit, knowing how often the Jaguars defense changes

751
00:40:39,160 --> 00:40:42,080
Speaker 2: the picture, not only in terms of coverage, but in

752
00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:47,680
Speaker 2: terms of structure alignment front They change it from down

753
00:40:47,760 --> 00:40:51,120
Speaker 2: to down, play to play, series to series and on

754
00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:54,640
Speaker 2: the road. How do coaches best preach to the players

755
00:40:54,640 --> 00:40:58,160
Speaker 2: to communicate when communication is going to be challenging in

756
00:40:58,160 --> 00:40:59,440
Speaker 2: a road environment.

757
00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:02,400
Speaker 3: Try and get them into the mindset to be ready

758
00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:05,000
Speaker 3: for it. If you're ready for it, then you can

759
00:41:05,160 --> 00:41:07,719
Speaker 3: you can develop your own mechanisms for taking care of it.

760
00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:07,920
Speaker 1: You know.

761
00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:10,279
Speaker 3: Like I said yesterday, I talked a little bit about

762
00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:13,080
Speaker 3: this where guys will face the quarterback in the huddle

763
00:41:13,120 --> 00:41:14,760
Speaker 3: so they can make sure they can read his lips.

764
00:41:15,800 --> 00:41:17,600
Speaker 3: Guys will get used to relay, you know, the guys

765
00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:19,720
Speaker 3: in the slot will get used to relaying the information

766
00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:22,440
Speaker 3: to the guys wide. Uh the a offensive line, you'll

767
00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:24,879
Speaker 3: see them turning their heads and leaning in towards each

768
00:41:24,920 --> 00:41:27,280
Speaker 3: other the guard into the center, then out to the tackle.

769
00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:30,160
Speaker 3: So they can do that, and that's all well and good.

770
00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:35,839
Speaker 3: The real pressure obviously comes when you attach a play

771
00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:40,200
Speaker 3: clock to it. You gotta get it done now, and

772
00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:42,040
Speaker 3: you got to hurry up, and you gotta get it right.

773
00:41:42,520 --> 00:41:44,480
Speaker 3: That's when that's when the pressure really hits and you

774
00:41:44,560 --> 00:41:46,920
Speaker 3: gotta have you got to go through it in practice.

775
00:41:47,960 --> 00:41:49,960
Speaker 3: You'll see, I mean, we'll hear it in here. Sometimes

776
00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:52,920
Speaker 3: we'll they'll turn the music up. You can't hear yourself. Think.

777
00:41:54,320 --> 00:41:57,359
Speaker 3: We used to do it the opposite of that. In

778
00:41:57,360 --> 00:42:00,560
Speaker 3: in my day, we didn't have all the beakers and

779
00:42:00,600 --> 00:42:05,400
Speaker 3: the stuff in the stadium, so the rule was practice

780
00:42:05,440 --> 00:42:08,520
Speaker 3: had to be silent for everybody, so you weren't allowed

781
00:42:08,520 --> 00:42:11,840
Speaker 3: to talk. Right, So it was just the opposite. So

782
00:42:11,920 --> 00:42:15,360
Speaker 3: you had to learn to nonverbally communicate.

783
00:42:16,440 --> 00:42:17,720
Speaker 1: In signals from.

784
00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:19,960
Speaker 3: Signals, so the silence was really the noise, right, you

785
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:22,759
Speaker 3: couldn't talk. You weren't allowed to. So we had we

786
00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:25,839
Speaker 3: had hand signals before the race, before the radio head sets,

787
00:42:26,160 --> 00:42:28,640
Speaker 3: headsets and the helmets, the whole thing. So you had

788
00:42:29,200 --> 00:42:33,520
Speaker 3: hand signals and stuff like this, and and gestures. Stuff

789
00:42:33,560 --> 00:42:35,759
Speaker 3: that was just between Jim and Andre. Stuff that was

790
00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:38,040
Speaker 3: just between Jim and Kent Hall. Stuff that was just

791
00:42:38,080 --> 00:42:40,920
Speaker 3: between the offensive linemen. You know, nobody else needed to

792
00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:43,600
Speaker 3: know that. And that's how you did it. That's how

793
00:42:43,640 --> 00:42:46,640
Speaker 3: we did it. You got to have a plan, uh,

794
00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:49,880
Speaker 3: and then you and obviously it's like everything else, you

795
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:51,480
Speaker 3: gotta execute.

796
00:42:51,080 --> 00:42:52,200
Speaker 1: Gotta play well on that day.

797
00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:54,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's get back to the phones as that is

798
00:42:54,360 --> 00:42:56,840
Speaker 2: from the coach's office and we go to market and

799
00:42:56,880 --> 00:42:57,719
Speaker 2: Tonawanda next.

800
00:42:57,760 --> 00:42:58,319
Speaker 1: What's Mark?

801
00:43:00,120 --> 00:43:02,919
Speaker 11: Thanks for having me on, Steve. I hope we're good

802
00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:05,759
Speaker 11: after last week. I just feel like we might have

803
00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:06,360
Speaker 11: to go off.

804
00:43:06,200 --> 00:43:07,160
Speaker 4: For a brew or something.

805
00:43:08,200 --> 00:43:13,279
Speaker 3: That's fine. Yeah, I'm glad Mark. I'm glad you called back. Mark.

806
00:43:13,320 --> 00:43:15,400
Speaker 3: I'm glad you called back because I've been getting a

807
00:43:15,440 --> 00:43:17,480
Speaker 3: lot of feedback on the way I treated you the

808
00:43:17,520 --> 00:43:19,359
Speaker 3: last time you get This is a Mark's the guy

809
00:43:19,400 --> 00:43:21,919
Speaker 3: that I went off on and wouldn't let him talk

810
00:43:22,360 --> 00:43:27,680
Speaker 3: about Josh's incomplete pass slash fumble that is from the

811
00:43:28,320 --> 00:43:31,000
Speaker 3: yeah go ahead, Mark, thanks for calling back go ahead.

812
00:43:31,280 --> 00:43:33,520
Speaker 11: Oh thanks so much for having me on. I'm no,

813
00:43:33,640 --> 00:43:36,000
Speaker 11: I'm a big fan of the show and Steve we

814
00:43:36,080 --> 00:43:38,680
Speaker 11: go way back to and no, it was. It was hilarious.

815
00:43:38,719 --> 00:43:40,520
Speaker 11: My Twitter is the most popular I've been on Twitter

816
00:43:40,520 --> 00:43:44,719
Speaker 11: in a long time, so even negative publicity is still publicity.

817
00:43:44,840 --> 00:43:48,040
Speaker 11: So we're We're all good. I'd love to brew with

818
00:43:48,080 --> 00:43:50,799
Speaker 11: you sometime. But hey, the reason for my fall is

819
00:43:51,640 --> 00:43:54,480
Speaker 11: I just think to you, guys were talking earlier about

820
00:43:54,520 --> 00:43:57,719
Speaker 11: coach McDermott, and my biggest issues with him all year

821
00:43:57,760 --> 00:43:59,359
Speaker 11: have been the first half of the New England game,

822
00:43:59,680 --> 00:44:02,520
Speaker 11: which obviously turn it out great, but I really just

823
00:44:02,560 --> 00:44:05,440
Speaker 11: don't like how he handled playing Harston in a fourth

824
00:44:05,520 --> 00:44:09,399
Speaker 11: quarter against the junior varsity Jets. I just really hope

825
00:44:09,440 --> 00:44:11,600
Speaker 11: that doesn't come back to bite him. And it's just

826
00:44:11,680 --> 00:44:14,560
Speaker 11: clear that if we're to make a change, and I think,

827
00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:18,000
Speaker 11: God forbid we don't make it past the Jaggs, that

828
00:44:18,160 --> 00:44:21,360
Speaker 11: some change should come, it should be at that general

829
00:44:21,400 --> 00:44:24,399
Speaker 11: manager position. In Brandon Bean McDermott is in the right

830
00:44:24,480 --> 00:44:27,320
Speaker 11: but at the same time, guys, it doesn't happen often

831
00:44:27,400 --> 00:44:30,480
Speaker 11: that a coach with eight plus years with an organization

832
00:44:31,120 --> 00:44:33,040
Speaker 11: takes us to the promised land. I'm gonna hang up

833
00:44:33,080 --> 00:44:35,439
Speaker 11: with you, guys, and I'm glad we got to talk.

834
00:44:35,480 --> 00:44:35,800
Speaker 12: Steve.

835
00:44:36,040 --> 00:44:37,640
Speaker 1: You bet yep, thanks for the call.

836
00:44:37,760 --> 00:44:44,719
Speaker 3: Mark, Yeah, yeah, my buddies. You know, I've got a

837
00:44:44,760 --> 00:44:47,360
Speaker 3: text leap and all that. And we were whenever anybody

838
00:44:47,400 --> 00:44:51,040
Speaker 3: goes down, it's never a good thing. And when Max

839
00:44:51,200 --> 00:44:55,840
Speaker 3: was in the game late versus the Jets and he

840
00:44:55,880 --> 00:44:59,239
Speaker 3: got hurt, a lot of people were like, going, you know, no,

841
00:44:59,400 --> 00:45:00,960
Speaker 3: I can't. We can't Ford to lose, you know what

842
00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:04,960
Speaker 3: I mean, I get it, I get it. The problem is,

843
00:45:05,040 --> 00:45:08,600
Speaker 3: and this is it's an ongoing issue all around the league.

844
00:45:08,960 --> 00:45:12,520
Speaker 3: It hits. It's hits everybody. You gotta have eleven guys

845
00:45:12,520 --> 00:45:16,399
Speaker 3: on defense, and you can't, like, for instance, you can't

846
00:45:16,400 --> 00:45:18,759
Speaker 3: put a guy who plays safety and just just say hey,

847
00:45:18,760 --> 00:45:21,239
Speaker 3: play corner. This isn't pick up football. You gotta you

848
00:45:21,239 --> 00:45:24,120
Speaker 3: gotta know what you're doing. And they're thin when you

849
00:45:24,160 --> 00:45:25,839
Speaker 3: get down where you're trying not to play.

850
00:45:25,880 --> 00:45:29,439
Speaker 2: Guys, Benford wasn't playing. They didn't want it Avious White

851
00:45:29,440 --> 00:45:30,839
Speaker 2: playing in the second half of that game.

852
00:45:30,920 --> 00:45:33,720
Speaker 3: That's it. And so you know what is the default.

853
00:45:33,800 --> 00:45:35,680
Speaker 3: It gets to a point where you think, Okay, you know,

854
00:45:36,040 --> 00:45:38,120
Speaker 3: you don't want anybody to get hurt, no question, you don't,

855
00:45:38,280 --> 00:45:40,919
Speaker 3: but you gotta somebody's got to play. And you think,

856
00:45:40,960 --> 00:45:43,560
Speaker 3: on one hand, it's like, you know what Max, you know,

857
00:45:43,640 --> 00:45:45,279
Speaker 3: put him out there, let him have some success, let

858
00:45:45,360 --> 00:45:47,120
Speaker 3: him play, get him get more reps. Let's face it,

859
00:45:47,200 --> 00:45:50,640
Speaker 3: Max missed the first half of the season, so the

860
00:45:50,640 --> 00:45:53,000
Speaker 3: more reps he gets, you'd think the better. And then

861
00:45:53,040 --> 00:45:55,480
Speaker 3: all of a sudden, they run, they run a play

862
00:45:55,520 --> 00:45:57,279
Speaker 3: right at him. He gets caught in the wash and

863
00:45:57,320 --> 00:46:00,520
Speaker 3: gets you know, gets his ankle twisted. I get it.

864
00:46:01,440 --> 00:46:04,880
Speaker 3: As for Brandon, I don't know. I I don't agree

865
00:46:04,880 --> 00:46:07,719
Speaker 3: with the people who say the I mean, this is

866
00:46:07,719 --> 00:46:09,480
Speaker 3: one of the things I heard brought up after the

867
00:46:09,480 --> 00:46:13,640
Speaker 3: forty to nine win in Carolina was Brandon has somehow

868
00:46:13,719 --> 00:46:14,880
Speaker 3: mismanaged the roster.

869
00:46:15,360 --> 00:46:15,440
Speaker 1: Uh.

870
00:46:15,520 --> 00:46:20,440
Speaker 3: The wide receiver position is a hot button, no question.

871
00:46:21,760 --> 00:46:24,959
Speaker 3: We thought, and I'll say this, I thought coming into

872
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:27,880
Speaker 3: this year, the wide receiver room was going to be

873
00:46:28,080 --> 00:46:33,640
Speaker 3: enormously upgraded from what it was the year before, from

874
00:46:33,680 --> 00:46:37,160
Speaker 3: when Max Hollins was here and all that. Yeah, and

875
00:46:37,960 --> 00:46:41,360
Speaker 3: you know, it just hasn't They just haven't produced. I

876
00:46:41,400 --> 00:46:43,960
Speaker 3: think everybody's been disappointed in the year that Keon has had.

877
00:46:44,160 --> 00:46:45,319
Speaker 3: Starting with Keon.

878
00:46:45,840 --> 00:46:49,400
Speaker 2: And Jordan Palmer, who's been Jordan Palmer, Elijah Moore was

879
00:46:49,680 --> 00:46:54,480
Speaker 2: never never took took hold the whole. Curtis Samuel's on

880
00:46:54,560 --> 00:46:58,239
Speaker 2: I are Curtis Samuel has been fragile. Uh And it

881
00:46:58,280 --> 00:47:00,319
Speaker 2: hasn't been helped by the fact that King Ks been

882
00:47:00,320 --> 00:47:04,719
Speaker 2: in and out of the lineup, I do think, and

883
00:47:04,280 --> 00:47:07,600
Speaker 2: it's it's a cop out, I know, but when you

884
00:47:07,680 --> 00:47:09,799
Speaker 2: go into this thinking maybe all those guys would be

885
00:47:09,840 --> 00:47:14,840
Speaker 2: healthy Kincaid and Palmer and all these guys would be

886
00:47:14,880 --> 00:47:18,120
Speaker 2: healthy Sanders, you think it would have been, could have been,

887
00:47:18,200 --> 00:47:19,840
Speaker 2: should have been way better.

888
00:47:19,640 --> 00:47:22,840
Speaker 3: Than it was. But because of because of the injuries,

889
00:47:23,040 --> 00:47:25,239
Speaker 3: they've got like nine guys out there and none of

890
00:47:25,320 --> 00:47:28,600
Speaker 3: them could stay healthy. I mean, come on, So that's

891
00:47:28,640 --> 00:47:29,240
Speaker 3: a problem.

892
00:47:29,680 --> 00:47:31,520
Speaker 2: And that was the problem on defense this year too.

893
00:47:31,560 --> 00:47:34,520
Speaker 2: They've been short on manpower all season long. They just

894
00:47:34,560 --> 00:47:37,200
Speaker 2: get a little bit healthier in the secondary the last

895
00:47:37,200 --> 00:47:39,000
Speaker 2: two months of the season, and you see the difference

896
00:47:40,120 --> 00:47:42,759
Speaker 2: and the coaching staff has done more with less with

897
00:47:42,840 --> 00:47:45,800
Speaker 2: their three three five nickel package, which has yielded dividends

898
00:47:46,200 --> 00:47:46,640
Speaker 2: in the past.

899
00:47:46,680 --> 00:47:49,280
Speaker 3: Rush when they've when they started losing guys to injuries.

900
00:47:49,280 --> 00:47:51,560
Speaker 1: You lost Michael Hoyd and you already were without Dad Oliver.

901
00:47:51,640 --> 00:47:54,200
Speaker 1: I mean that just that really cuts the top.

902
00:47:54,440 --> 00:47:58,960
Speaker 3: The head off your pass rush, you know. I you

903
00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:01,480
Speaker 3: could see it when they are losing guys to injury.

904
00:48:02,040 --> 00:48:06,280
Speaker 3: They went through this the funk of this regular season,

905
00:48:06,760 --> 00:48:09,240
Speaker 3: and you know, they won, they were They won against

906
00:48:09,280 --> 00:48:11,919
Speaker 3: Kansas City, lost against the Dolphins, one against Tampa Bay,

907
00:48:11,960 --> 00:48:17,120
Speaker 3: lost against Houston. You could see them trying to figure

908
00:48:17,160 --> 00:48:22,360
Speaker 3: it out with personnel, with roster moves, and you know,

909
00:48:22,400 --> 00:48:24,439
Speaker 3: it's took them a while. It took them a long while.

910
00:48:24,480 --> 00:48:28,080
Speaker 3: Finally they got a little healthier and they won, you know, six,

911
00:48:28,360 --> 00:48:31,120
Speaker 3: five out of their last six, right so, or yeah,

912
00:48:31,200 --> 00:48:33,880
Speaker 3: five out of the last six to close the season.

913
00:48:34,719 --> 00:48:38,000
Speaker 3: But that's that's kind of the way it is around

914
00:48:38,040 --> 00:48:39,840
Speaker 3: the league. He kind of it takes you a minute

915
00:48:39,880 --> 00:48:41,920
Speaker 3: to figure out who you've got left and what they

916
00:48:41,960 --> 00:48:44,919
Speaker 3: can do and how you can scheme around them their

917
00:48:44,920 --> 00:48:47,920
Speaker 3: skill sets. And they finally did it defensively at the

918
00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:48,560
Speaker 3: end of this year.

919
00:48:49,040 --> 00:48:50,080

Speaker 2: more insight on the season that the Jags have put together. JP,

932
00:50:00,880 --> 00:50:03,879
Speaker 2: thanks for joining us first and foremost on this busy week.

933
00:50:04,880 --> 00:50:08,600
Speaker 2: Eight game winning streak to finish the season is certainly impressive,

934
00:50:08,719 --> 00:50:12,520
Speaker 2: so they come into the playoffs on a heater. My

935
00:50:12,680 --> 00:50:17,200
Speaker 2: question to you is when does that streak almost become

936
00:50:17,320 --> 00:50:22,800
Speaker 2: like concerning, like can we keep playing at this unbelievable level,

937
00:50:22,840 --> 00:50:26,200
Speaker 2: Like how long does it go? I'm just wondering when

938
00:50:26,200 --> 00:50:28,799
Speaker 2: that starts to enter their mind or they're like, let's

939
00:50:28,800 --> 00:50:29,560
Speaker 2: just keep it rolling.

940
00:50:30,440 --> 00:50:32,080
Speaker 4: You know. It's a great question gonna be with you

941
00:50:32,080 --> 00:50:35,200
Speaker 4: gus first of all, and they've had a different mindset

942
00:50:35,200 --> 00:50:37,200
Speaker 4: about it. They're not really worried about the streak as

943
00:50:37,280 --> 00:50:40,160
Speaker 4: much right now. The win streak, but they had the

944
00:50:40,200 --> 00:50:43,640
Speaker 4: Houston Texans chasing them the whole time. They had no

945
00:50:43,840 --> 00:50:46,880
Speaker 4: room for error, so they knew the Texans were on

946
00:50:46,920 --> 00:50:49,120
Speaker 4: their tail a game behind in the standings. They had

947
00:50:49,120 --> 00:50:53,120
Speaker 4: no room at all to misstep, and they just kept

948
00:50:53,160 --> 00:50:55,759
Speaker 4: doing week by week and finding different ways to win

949
00:50:55,800 --> 00:51:00,400
Speaker 4: football games. So they've had a playoff type mentality, it

950
00:51:00,400 --> 00:51:02,600
Speaker 4: feels like the last couple of months because they had

951
00:51:02,640 --> 00:51:05,600
Speaker 4: really no room for error. Now they're one of these

952
00:51:05,719 --> 00:51:07,279
Speaker 4: teams that has a win streak at the end of

953
00:51:07,320 --> 00:51:09,600
Speaker 4: the season hasn't won the Super Bowl. So it's it's

954
00:51:09,640 --> 00:51:12,279
Speaker 4: been a long time and they've got to figure that out.

955
00:51:12,320 --> 00:51:14,960
Speaker 4: I think the deeper they get that'll probably start to

956
00:51:14,960 --> 00:51:16,680
Speaker 4: come into play a little bit more. But right now,

957
00:51:16,840 --> 00:51:19,000
Speaker 4: it's been a one week season for them for about

958
00:51:19,080 --> 00:51:20,400
Speaker 4: two two and a half months.

959
00:51:20,520 --> 00:51:22,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, and they started out in week ten, they were

960
00:51:22,719 --> 00:51:24,279
Speaker 3: five and four. They had had their bye week in

961
00:51:24,320 --> 00:51:27,000
Speaker 3: week eight, but they were five and four and then

962
00:51:27,040 --> 00:51:28,640
Speaker 3: they go on this heater. What do you think, is

963
00:51:28,680 --> 00:51:31,719
Speaker 3: there anything tangible or that you know, you can tab

964
00:51:31,760 --> 00:51:35,480
Speaker 3: and say, Okay, here's where they finger quotes figured this

965
00:51:35,560 --> 00:51:38,080
Speaker 3: out or that out. What do you think, if anything,

966
00:51:38,120 --> 00:51:40,120
Speaker 3: what have they been saying about that and what have

967
00:51:40,160 --> 00:51:40,680
Speaker 3: you noticed?

968
00:51:41,360 --> 00:51:44,400
Speaker 4: Well, there's two main things. I'll start with the defense

969
00:51:44,600 --> 00:51:46,960
Speaker 4: and actually the whole team effort. Fourth quarter of the

970
00:51:46,960 --> 00:51:49,799
Speaker 4: game down in Houston, the Jaguars had a nineteen point

971
00:51:49,880 --> 00:51:52,440
Speaker 4: lead in the fourth quarter and blew the game against

972
00:51:52,520 --> 00:51:56,279
Speaker 4: Davis Mills, the backup quarterback for Houston, and that kind

973
00:51:56,280 --> 00:51:58,840
Speaker 4: of turned the entire season, not only for the Jaguars,

974
00:51:58,840 --> 00:52:01,160
Speaker 4: but for the Texans too. They ever lost down the stretch,

975
00:52:01,239 --> 00:52:04,120
Speaker 4: So that was one where, you know what, the Jags

976
00:52:04,120 --> 00:52:06,080
Speaker 4: didn't really want to let that happen again. They made

977
00:52:06,080 --> 00:52:08,960
Speaker 4: that a priority. We're gonna finish teams, We're gonna play

978
00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:11,720
Speaker 4: all four quarters. They had a couple of close games

979
00:52:11,760 --> 00:52:15,640
Speaker 4: after that, Arizona at Vegas, you know, tight games in

980
00:52:15,640 --> 00:52:18,000
Speaker 4: the fourth quarter in overtime, but found a way to win.

981
00:52:18,440 --> 00:52:21,759
Speaker 4: And then right around that same time, Trevor Lawrence turned

982
00:52:21,800 --> 00:52:25,440
Speaker 4: it on and you know, he and Liam Cohen early

983
00:52:25,480 --> 00:52:27,719
Speaker 4: in the season they're trying to figure out the relationship

984
00:52:27,800 --> 00:52:30,760
Speaker 4: and the offense and so little, some fits and starts

985
00:52:30,800 --> 00:52:32,759
Speaker 4: and guys are lining up wrong, and it's just not

986
00:52:33,239 --> 00:52:36,279
Speaker 4: he's just not confident and not pushing the ball and

987
00:52:36,360 --> 00:52:39,040
Speaker 4: letting it go. And then there was a conversation around

988
00:52:39,040 --> 00:52:42,440
Speaker 4: that time, Hey, man, like, you're the quarterback, I just

989
00:52:42,480 --> 00:52:45,560
Speaker 4: got here. As the coach, You're here, I'm here. Let's

990
00:52:45,640 --> 00:52:47,759
Speaker 4: just go like, let it rip. I don't care if

991
00:52:47,800 --> 00:52:50,480
Speaker 4: you throw an interception, because we're gonna throw four more

992
00:52:50,520 --> 00:52:52,719
Speaker 4: plays down the field and hit about three of them.

993
00:52:52,760 --> 00:52:53,960
Speaker 3: Like, just let it go.

994
00:52:54,200 --> 00:52:57,000
Speaker 4: Be confident in your receivers. And that's when the light

995
00:52:57,040 --> 00:52:59,320
Speaker 4: came on for Trevor when he realized the coaching staff

996
00:52:59,360 --> 00:53:01,480
Speaker 4: and everybody had his back and they were going to

997
00:53:01,600 --> 00:53:04,839
Speaker 4: rip into pieces for an interception. He has played out

998
00:53:04,840 --> 00:53:07,120
Speaker 4: of his mind. So those are the two big things,

999
00:53:07,120 --> 00:53:10,400
Speaker 4: the defense not letting it slip late and then number sixteen,

1000
00:53:10,480 --> 00:53:12,560
Speaker 4: that's the real difference right there, the way he's played.

1001
00:53:13,480 --> 00:53:17,120
Speaker 2: What can you say about how the defense has kind

1002
00:53:17,120 --> 00:53:20,520
Speaker 2: of handled some injuries here late in the season on

1003
00:53:20,600 --> 00:53:23,879
Speaker 2: the back end, JP, I'm talking about Jordan Lewis here.

1004
00:53:24,239 --> 00:53:26,960
Speaker 2: I know Greg Newsom got nicked a little bit last week.

1005
00:53:27,040 --> 00:53:28,799
Speaker 2: I think he had a non contact Jorsy on in

1006
00:53:28,840 --> 00:53:33,360
Speaker 2: practice today. So how are they how are they triaging

1007
00:53:33,560 --> 00:53:34,600
Speaker 2: the lineup back there.

1008
00:53:35,520 --> 00:53:37,719
Speaker 4: Well, they've actually dealt with this a little bit all

1009
00:53:37,760 --> 00:53:40,880
Speaker 4: season long. Had Eric Murray, the safety was injured for

1010
00:53:41,040 --> 00:53:43,480
Speaker 4: a good stretch middle of the season or so they

1011
00:53:43,520 --> 00:53:45,799
Speaker 4: had to bring in rotate some younger guys at the

1012
00:53:45,800 --> 00:53:48,600
Speaker 4: safety spot. Jordan Lewis was down a little bit earlier

1013
00:53:48,640 --> 00:53:52,440
Speaker 4: this year as well, So they have experience with this already.

1014
00:53:52,680 --> 00:53:55,600
Speaker 4: And you know they're they're using Greg Newsom. He's been

1015
00:53:55,800 --> 00:53:57,600
Speaker 4: should be fine, I think for this week. It sounds

1016
00:53:57,600 --> 00:53:59,920
Speaker 4: like monts Harek Brown's been playing really well at Corn

1017
00:54:00,120 --> 00:54:02,719
Speaker 4: or late round draft pick a couple of years ago,

1018
00:54:03,440 --> 00:54:06,640
Speaker 4: and he's you know, he's not a superstar fast cover

1019
00:54:06,760 --> 00:54:09,840
Speaker 4: you down the field man corner, but he just competes

1020
00:54:09,840 --> 00:54:12,480
Speaker 4: his tail off like he's right there in your hip

1021
00:54:12,520 --> 00:54:14,880
Speaker 4: pocket and somehow gets his hand on the football. It

1022
00:54:15,000 --> 00:54:17,400
Speaker 4: just feels like the way he plays. And they're getting

1023
00:54:17,400 --> 00:54:20,600
Speaker 4: contributions from Jari and Jones too. He's really elevated his

1024
00:54:20,719 --> 00:54:24,640
Speaker 4: game and can can move from the nickel to outside.

1025
00:54:24,680 --> 00:54:26,520
Speaker 4: They rotate a lot of guys around, They'll play a

1026
00:54:26,520 --> 00:54:29,920
Speaker 4: lot of three safety. You know, a big Nickel looks

1027
00:54:29,960 --> 00:54:33,000
Speaker 4: as well, So they'll rotate those guys in so it's

1028
00:54:33,040 --> 00:54:36,279
Speaker 4: really a mixed bag. They'll change looks depending on personnel.

1029
00:54:36,840 --> 00:54:39,560
Speaker 4: Especially this week against the run, I would expect them

1030
00:54:39,600 --> 00:54:42,520
Speaker 4: to load up with some heavier personnel and bring in

1031
00:54:42,520 --> 00:54:44,120
Speaker 4: probably a third safety a lot.

1032
00:54:44,680 --> 00:54:48,799
Speaker 3: How has you know Anthony Campanil and his relationship with Lee?

1033
00:54:48,880 --> 00:54:51,719
Speaker 3: I know Liam Comb has handled Trevor Lawrence. He's he

1034
00:54:51,880 --> 00:54:55,359
Speaker 3: That's why he was hired, right Anthony Campanil not too

1035
00:54:55,360 --> 00:54:58,319
Speaker 3: many guys people knew much that much about him. How

1036
00:54:58,480 --> 00:55:01,880
Speaker 3: has you know Liam Coe Anthony Campanill the defensive staff

1037
00:55:02,160 --> 00:55:05,040
Speaker 3: kind of meshed and what's the rhetoric coming out of

1038
00:55:05,080 --> 00:55:07,200
Speaker 3: the coaching staff about their players.

1039
00:55:07,880 --> 00:55:10,840
Speaker 4: Well, Liam talked about this earlier today. Actually at his

1040
00:55:10,880 --> 00:55:14,120
Speaker 4: Wednesday press conference, he was asked where did you find him? Like,

1041
00:55:14,760 --> 00:55:16,759
Speaker 4: did you have a connection. He's like, not really, it

1042
00:55:16,880 --> 00:55:20,200
Speaker 4: was not really a we had a couple of common connections,

1043
00:55:20,200 --> 00:55:22,480
Speaker 4: but they didn't really didn't even know each other. But

1044
00:55:22,520 --> 00:55:25,160
Speaker 4: Liam turned on the Green Bay tape with them against

1045
00:55:25,160 --> 00:55:28,399
Speaker 4: the Run really in the last year or so and said,

1046
00:55:28,440 --> 00:55:31,600
Speaker 4: you know what, that's what we need around here, and

1047
00:55:31,600 --> 00:55:33,759
Speaker 4: and then of course went through the interview process and

1048
00:55:33,800 --> 00:55:37,520
Speaker 4: realized that they really jived. And the way he goes

1049
00:55:38,000 --> 00:55:40,680
Speaker 4: about his business in front of a team. I don't

1050
00:55:40,680 --> 00:55:42,399
Speaker 4: know if you remember the video when he was down

1051
00:55:42,440 --> 00:55:44,560
Speaker 4: in Miami. He was doing a lot of front of

1052
00:55:44,600 --> 00:55:48,040
Speaker 4: the team speeches and stuff back in his role there.

1053
00:55:48,920 --> 00:55:53,799
Speaker 4: It's it's very intense, but it's very detailed. And he's

1054
00:55:53,840 --> 00:55:56,200
Speaker 4: a fantastic defensive play caller. And they were having some

1055
00:55:56,239 --> 00:55:58,520
Speaker 4: issues earlier in season two, right, I mean, and they

1056
00:55:58,920 --> 00:56:01,880
Speaker 4: went through in the bye we and took this defense

1057
00:56:02,320 --> 00:56:05,080
Speaker 4: apart and decided to change the way they went about

1058
00:56:05,080 --> 00:56:09,319
Speaker 4: some business. And since then, Campanelli's been fantastic. And then

1059
00:56:09,719 --> 00:56:11,920
Speaker 4: you know, and Liam started kind of staying out of

1060
00:56:11,920 --> 00:56:13,879
Speaker 4: the defensive meetings too. He was sitting in there early

1061
00:56:13,920 --> 00:56:15,880
Speaker 4: in the season just to kind of see the process.

1062
00:56:16,440 --> 00:56:18,400
Speaker 4: Then he kind of took the training wheels off, so

1063
00:56:18,440 --> 00:56:21,440
Speaker 4: to speak. Not it doesn't need him, but and then

1064
00:56:21,560 --> 00:56:24,279
Speaker 4: Anthony's been running the whole thing. So and you know what,

1065
00:56:24,360 --> 00:56:26,359
Speaker 4: he's gonna get interviews for our head coach because he's

1066
00:56:26,360 --> 00:56:28,240
Speaker 4: that great of a leader in front of a team,

1067
00:56:28,280 --> 00:56:30,200
Speaker 4: and especially on the defensive side.

1068
00:56:30,760 --> 00:56:34,440
Speaker 2: Offensively for the Jags, we know that Travis Hunter is

1069
00:56:34,440 --> 00:56:36,560
Speaker 2: on IR and you know, has been out for a while,

1070
00:56:36,640 --> 00:56:38,600
Speaker 2: so they've had plenty of time to adjust to his

1071
00:56:38,640 --> 00:56:42,120
Speaker 2: absence in the lineup. And you know, Parker Washington has

1072
00:56:42,120 --> 00:56:46,040
Speaker 2: been a revelation it seems. And I think Brenton Strange

1073
00:56:46,080 --> 00:56:49,600
Speaker 2: is pretty underrated as a pass catching threat for you guys.

1074
00:56:49,680 --> 00:56:53,919
Speaker 2: So how would you kind of assess the talent that

1075
00:56:54,400 --> 00:56:57,120
Speaker 2: Trevor has to choose from in the passing game?

1076
00:56:57,920 --> 00:57:00,480
Speaker 4: It is varied. I mean, they have all kind of

1077
00:57:00,520 --> 00:57:04,120
Speaker 4: different types of weapons to throw to. They've got over

1078
00:57:04,160 --> 00:57:06,759
Speaker 4: the top speed with Brian Thomas Junior, though he's had

1079
00:57:06,760 --> 00:57:10,719
Speaker 4: some inconsistencies drops early in the season, but he has

1080
00:57:10,760 --> 00:57:13,279
Speaker 4: that ability to go over the top, especially outside. The

1081
00:57:13,360 --> 00:57:17,040
Speaker 4: numbers really good there. They've got Parker Washington who can

1082
00:57:17,080 --> 00:57:19,040
Speaker 4: line up in the slot and a good catch and

1083
00:57:19,080 --> 00:57:21,000
Speaker 4: run guy. I mean, he's a punt returner by trade,

1084
00:57:21,000 --> 00:57:22,880
Speaker 4: so a lot of his catches all of a sudden

1085
00:57:22,880 --> 00:57:25,040
Speaker 4: look like punt returns because he'll stop, guys will run

1086
00:57:25,080 --> 00:57:27,440
Speaker 4: past him, they'll be openings and there he goes the

1087
00:57:27,480 --> 00:57:30,280
Speaker 4: other way. You know, that's cool to see. Brenton Strange

1088
00:57:30,360 --> 00:57:33,439
Speaker 4: is a great dual threat tied end fantastic blocker, big

1089
00:57:33,480 --> 00:57:36,520
Speaker 4: physical guy out of Penn State that doesn't mind getting

1090
00:57:36,560 --> 00:57:39,800
Speaker 4: his nose dirty. And then a consistent pass catcher as well.

1091
00:57:40,000 --> 00:57:43,480
Speaker 4: And then Jacobe Myers has been the whole key to everything.

1092
00:57:43,520 --> 00:57:45,320
Speaker 4: I think in the passing game. He can make him

1093
00:57:45,320 --> 00:57:48,800
Speaker 4: the MVP this year because I mean, you almost forgot

1094
00:57:49,120 --> 00:57:51,440
Speaker 4: that Travis Hunter was on the football team. They got

1095
00:57:51,520 --> 00:57:53,480
Speaker 4: hurt the practice week after the buy. They had to

1096
00:57:53,520 --> 00:57:57,360
Speaker 4: go get Myers and that changed the whole dynamic. He's

1097
00:57:57,400 --> 00:58:01,080
Speaker 4: super reliable, rarely drops balls. He's where he's supposed to be.

1098
00:58:01,560 --> 00:58:04,160
Speaker 4: He's a great pro, and he has put that whole

1099
00:58:04,160 --> 00:58:06,680
Speaker 4: wide receiver room on his back. He may not be

1100
00:58:06,760 --> 00:58:08,960
Speaker 4: the over the top deep guy, he's gonna get you

1101
00:58:09,040 --> 00:58:11,120
Speaker 4: seven when you need six, and he might get a

1102
00:58:11,120 --> 00:58:14,240
Speaker 4: few extra and that's perfect for this offense. You just

1103
00:58:14,280 --> 00:58:15,640
Speaker 4: need guys who are going to be in the right

1104
00:58:15,640 --> 00:58:18,720
Speaker 4: spot to keep the quarterback confident. And they've got it

1105
00:58:18,760 --> 00:58:22,280
Speaker 4: all all cooking right now. Nobody's a real superstar, but

1106
00:58:22,360 --> 00:58:25,440
Speaker 4: they've got enough really good receivers that it's a problem

1107
00:58:25,480 --> 00:58:26,160
Speaker 4: for defenses.

1108
00:58:26,600 --> 00:58:28,480
Speaker 3: Have they struggled to run the football or they just

1109
00:58:28,480 --> 00:58:29,440
Speaker 3: decide they don't need to.

1110
00:58:30,320 --> 00:58:33,680
Speaker 4: Well, last week when they're playing Tennessee and it's the

1111
00:58:33,720 --> 00:58:37,320
Speaker 4: worst secondary and I'd throw it all day too, you know.

1112
00:58:37,400 --> 00:58:39,439
Speaker 4: So that's that's why they got away from it last

1113
00:58:39,440 --> 00:58:41,880
Speaker 4: week a little bit. But to your point, the last

1114
00:58:41,880 --> 00:58:43,760
Speaker 4: few weeks it has been a little bit of a

1115
00:58:43,800 --> 00:58:47,080
Speaker 4: lighter load on the ground for Travis etn nineteen eighteen

1116
00:58:47,200 --> 00:58:49,640
Speaker 4: twenty yards twenty carries a game something like that, which

1117
00:58:49,680 --> 00:58:52,959
Speaker 4: is not a little off to the pace. But they

1118
00:58:53,160 --> 00:58:57,160
Speaker 4: their number one priority is physicality on the offensive line,

1119
00:58:57,280 --> 00:58:59,400
Speaker 4: and that can manifest in two different ways, right, And

1120
00:58:59,400 --> 00:59:03,160
Speaker 4: you can be physical and pass blocking and the quarterback's hot,

1121
00:59:03,200 --> 00:59:06,120
Speaker 4: so ride the hot hand, but also firing off the

1122
00:59:06,120 --> 00:59:07,640
Speaker 4: ball when you have to in the run game. So

1123
00:59:08,120 --> 00:59:11,280
Speaker 4: I think they that's still their mentality upfront. If it

1124
00:59:11,360 --> 00:59:13,840
Speaker 4: just happens to be in the passing game, and that's

1125
00:59:13,840 --> 00:59:15,360
Speaker 4: a different story. That's where they've been in the last

1126
00:59:15,400 --> 00:59:15,960
Speaker 4: few weeks.

1127
00:59:16,160 --> 00:59:18,360
Speaker 2: And and knowing you know, this could be a close

1128
00:59:18,440 --> 00:59:22,080
Speaker 2: game where the kicking game becomes of paramount importance. Obviously

1129
00:59:22,120 --> 00:59:24,040
Speaker 2: the Bills are figuring out who the heck's gonna kick

1130
00:59:24,120 --> 00:59:27,400
Speaker 2: on Sunday with the injury to Prader. We know the

1131
00:59:27,440 --> 00:59:29,840
Speaker 2: exploits of Cam Little and the giant leg that he has.

1132
00:59:30,320 --> 00:59:33,120
Speaker 2: But what about you know, the return game, because you know,

1133
00:59:33,160 --> 00:59:35,280
Speaker 2: you guys are fifth in punt return sixth and kick

1134
00:59:35,320 --> 00:59:41,520
Speaker 2: return fourth in punt coverage. We know Heath Farwell pretty

1135
00:59:41,560 --> 00:59:44,240
Speaker 2: well here having been here prior to going to Jacksonville.

1136
00:59:44,640 --> 00:59:47,520
Speaker 2: What can you say about you know, the team's special

1137
00:59:47,520 --> 00:59:49,160
Speaker 2: teams units over the course of the season.

1138
00:59:49,880 --> 00:59:51,880
Speaker 4: Well, if you know Heath Farwell, you know he's a nut.

1139
00:59:52,120 --> 00:59:55,280
Speaker 4: I mean, he he and those guys take take after

1140
00:59:55,440 --> 00:59:58,760
Speaker 4: him in that coverage game. They don't mind running down

1141
00:59:58,800 --> 01:00:00,840
Speaker 4: and doing what the they have to do in the

1142
01:00:00,880 --> 01:00:03,800
Speaker 4: coverage game for the most part, which is really great

1143
01:00:03,840 --> 01:00:06,200
Speaker 4: to see. Obviously, Cam litlekn I mean, you hit the

1144
01:00:06,240 --> 01:00:09,680
Speaker 4: sixty eight yarder for the NFL record in Las Vegas,

1145
01:00:09,720 --> 01:00:12,800
Speaker 4: and then last week it's the sixty seven yarder here

1146
01:00:12,840 --> 01:00:15,920
Speaker 4: in Jacksonville. So you know, if it's late and a

1147
01:00:15,960 --> 01:00:18,320
Speaker 4: half in a game, they'll give him that chance if

1148
01:00:18,360 --> 01:00:20,040
Speaker 4: they have to, you know, or if they want to

1149
01:00:20,080 --> 01:00:22,560
Speaker 4: at the end of the half. That's fine because he's

1150
01:00:22,560 --> 01:00:24,280
Speaker 4: not gonna leave it short. You know, a lot of

1151
01:00:24,280 --> 01:00:27,800
Speaker 4: teams put the guy back there because how many guys

1152
01:00:27,840 --> 01:00:29,440
Speaker 4: are really gonna get it there. No, he's hit the

1153
01:00:29,480 --> 01:00:32,320
Speaker 4: net both times on both those kicks, so that's not

1154
01:00:32,400 --> 01:00:35,840
Speaker 4: an issue. The punting game's perfect so far. Logan Cook's

1155
01:00:35,880 --> 01:00:38,080
Speaker 4: fantastic can pen to people deep, so they got it

1156
01:00:38,080 --> 01:00:40,200
Speaker 4: all going. And then Parker Washington in the return game

1157
01:00:40,440 --> 01:00:42,680
Speaker 4: he's brought back to this year, another one called back

1158
01:00:42,680 --> 01:00:45,840
Speaker 4: with penalty, especially if it's a deep ball and he

1159
01:00:45,880 --> 01:00:49,560
Speaker 4: has room in front of him. Hey, it's a green light.

1160
01:00:49,920 --> 01:00:51,480
Speaker 4: I mean, it's not like you're gonna let it go

1161
01:00:51,560 --> 01:00:54,240
Speaker 4: inside the ten. He'll get back there and then if

1162
01:00:54,280 --> 01:00:57,280
Speaker 4: he's got ten yards of space, look out, he'll make

1163
01:00:57,320 --> 01:00:57,920
Speaker 4: something happen.

1164
01:00:58,200 --> 01:00:59,640
Speaker 3: What does it feel like this game is you don't

1165
01:00:59,680 --> 01:01:01,640
Speaker 3: look like the Bills are coming down there, and they've

1166
01:01:01,640 --> 01:01:04,400
Speaker 3: been at times they've been unbeatable and at other times

1167
01:01:04,440 --> 01:01:08,840
Speaker 3: they've looked like also rans. You guys. The Jacksonville of course,

1168
01:01:09,040 --> 01:01:13,720
Speaker 3: being on a heater, a lot of experience on the

1169
01:01:13,720 --> 01:01:16,960
Speaker 3: Bill's side in the playoffs, going deep, winning playoff games,

1170
01:01:17,160 --> 01:01:19,520
Speaker 3: and with Liam Cohen the first year head coach, it

1171
01:01:19,520 --> 01:01:21,400
Speaker 3: seems kind of new to you guys. What do you

1172
01:01:21,400 --> 01:01:23,640
Speaker 3: you know, what's the vibe like down there in Jacksonville?

1173
01:01:24,280 --> 01:01:27,120
Speaker 4: Well, Steve, the vibe is the Jags just don't give

1174
01:01:27,120 --> 01:01:29,680
Speaker 4: a damn about any of that. That's the vibe here,

1175
01:01:29,840 --> 01:01:32,720
Speaker 4: that's the mindset they have. They're tired of hearing about

1176
01:01:32,760 --> 01:01:37,800
Speaker 4: the Bills runs and Josh Allen this, and oh it's

1177
01:01:37,800 --> 01:01:40,760
Speaker 4: a small market team, Buffalo smaller. That's fine. But they're

1178
01:01:40,800 --> 01:01:45,240
Speaker 4: winning like they're taking any little grain of criticism or

1179
01:01:45,400 --> 01:01:48,480
Speaker 4: slight and using it to the best of their ability.

1180
01:01:48,600 --> 01:01:52,040
Speaker 4: And that's that's the fantastic Liam Cohen in front of

1181
01:01:52,080 --> 01:01:55,400
Speaker 4: the team. So they don't care about any of that.

1182
01:01:57,040 --> 01:01:59,560
Speaker 4: They know that they're a really good football team right now,

1183
01:01:59,600 --> 01:02:02,440
Speaker 4: the Jag, and they're not worried about the history of

1184
01:02:02,480 --> 01:02:05,280
Speaker 4: the rivalry or the Bills problems on the road in

1185
01:02:05,320 --> 01:02:08,320
Speaker 4: the playoffs, which you're out there, that's all the past

1186
01:02:08,600 --> 01:02:10,680
Speaker 4: doesn't matter. You got to stop them for sixty minutes

1187
01:02:10,720 --> 01:02:13,280
Speaker 4: on Sunday, and they feel like they're the more physical

1188
01:02:13,280 --> 01:02:16,040
Speaker 4: team when they line up against anybody in the NFL.

1189
01:02:16,760 --> 01:02:18,400
Speaker 4: This would be a good week to go prove it.

1190
01:02:18,680 --> 01:02:21,160
Speaker 4: And if they do, this city, I mean, the city's

1191
01:02:21,160 --> 01:02:23,720
Speaker 4: already going crazy in Jacksonville anyway. I mean, this place

1192
01:02:23,760 --> 01:02:26,120
Speaker 4: is going to be a hard sellout, seventy thousand people

1193
01:02:26,200 --> 01:02:30,280
Speaker 4: standing room only. The fever pitch will only rise if

1194
01:02:30,320 --> 01:02:34,000
Speaker 4: the Jackson pull this off, which they certainly have a

1195
01:02:34,000 --> 01:02:36,320
Speaker 4: better chance than any team in the league right now

1196
01:02:36,320 --> 01:02:36,640
Speaker 4: to do it.

1197
01:02:36,760 --> 01:02:39,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's pretty much a picking the game right now. JP,

1198
01:02:39,800 --> 01:02:42,120
Speaker 2: thanks for the time. We appreciate it. We'll see you

1199
01:02:42,160 --> 01:02:43,000
Speaker 2: down there this weekend.

1200
01:02:43,840 --> 01:02:46,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, we'll see. It's gonna be a hornet's nest. You ready,

1201
01:02:47,360 --> 01:02:48,240
Speaker 4: We'll see you guys.

1202
01:02:48,400 --> 01:02:49,840
Speaker 1: Sounds good JPS stuff.

1203
01:02:50,000 --> 01:02:54,960
Speaker 2: That's JP Shadwick, Jaguars team reporter joining us, and yeah.

1204
01:02:54,760 --> 01:02:56,440
Speaker 1: We'll see.

1205
01:02:56,680 --> 01:03:02,760
Speaker 2: He's predicting a fevered pitch of a crowd atmosphere, and

1206
01:03:02,840 --> 01:03:04,520
Speaker 2: it should be. They can get into it, you know,

1207
01:03:04,600 --> 01:03:07,600
Speaker 2: when they're team's in a playoff position, so as.

1208
01:03:07,520 --> 01:03:10,440
Speaker 3: An NFL playoff atmosphere, you can expect it will be

1209
01:03:10,520 --> 01:03:12,640
Speaker 3: it'll be really it'll be really loud down there.

1210
01:03:12,720 --> 01:03:12,880
Speaker 13: Yep.

1211
01:03:13,560 --> 01:03:17,480
Speaker 2: So they it's interesting too because they're a team that

1212
01:03:17,600 --> 01:03:23,360
Speaker 2: is going to be renovating that stadium, the existing stadium,

1213
01:03:23,360 --> 01:03:26,520
Speaker 2: they're renovating it and refurbishing it, and they're going to

1214
01:03:26,600 --> 01:03:30,720
Speaker 2: be playing in Orlando or Gainesville I think next year

1215
01:03:31,400 --> 01:03:33,880
Speaker 2: or twenty seven, I can't remember. They're gonna be playing

1216
01:03:33,880 --> 01:03:37,600
Speaker 2: all their home games in Gainesville or Orlando next year

1217
01:03:37,640 --> 01:03:40,280
Speaker 2: while they refurbish that place, and then it'll be ready

1218
01:03:40,280 --> 01:03:46,960
Speaker 2: to open in twenty eight as newly refurbished. So yeah,

1219
01:03:47,200 --> 01:03:49,360
Speaker 2: they're not tearing it down, they're not building another one

1220
01:03:49,360 --> 01:03:53,520
Speaker 2: from scratch. They're just revitalizing the existing stadium. I guess,

1221
01:03:53,560 --> 01:03:56,600
Speaker 2: similar to what Chicago did, and right, you know, Green

1222
01:03:56,640 --> 01:03:59,320
Speaker 2: Bay did a whole new spot right on.

1223
01:03:59,200 --> 01:03:59,680
Speaker 3: The same spot.

1224
01:03:59,800 --> 01:04:00,240
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1225
01:04:00,040 --> 01:04:04,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's if you it's a concession to how

1226
01:04:04,640 --> 01:04:07,400
Speaker 3: much land they've got in Buffalo, we've got we had

1227
01:04:07,800 --> 01:04:11,680
Speaker 3: the whole ECC campus Acrod those all open land virtually. Anyway,

1228
01:04:11,960 --> 01:04:14,680
Speaker 3: they's moved across the street. They gave up parking for

1229
01:04:14,840 --> 01:04:18,440
Speaker 3: two years or three years. That's about the extent of it.

1230
01:04:18,440 --> 01:04:20,360
Speaker 3: It's a different setup. A lot of teams have done

1231
01:04:20,360 --> 01:04:21,240
Speaker 3: the exact same thing.

1232
01:04:21,920 --> 01:04:26,320
Speaker 2: It's interesting to hear some of the ways in which

1233
01:04:26,360 --> 01:04:30,000
Speaker 2: coaches try to motivate their players and you know, trying

1234
01:04:30,040 --> 01:04:32,360
Speaker 2: to find shreds to hang.

1235
01:04:32,160 --> 01:04:32,760
Speaker 1: Your hat on.

1236
01:04:35,080 --> 01:04:40,520
Speaker 3: It's a it's always been effective trying to conjure up

1237
01:04:40,560 --> 01:04:44,520
Speaker 3: disrespect that people have for your team. It's really an

1238
01:04:44,520 --> 01:04:50,840
Speaker 3: effective motivating tool for coaches for players. Laughably, a guy

1239
01:04:50,880 --> 01:04:54,240
Speaker 3: wrote an article about how Thurman Thomas was the greatest

1240
01:04:54,240 --> 01:05:00,600
Speaker 3: all around running back in the league, and he took

1241
01:05:00,640 --> 01:05:03,200
Speaker 3: it as disrespect. Why you got to say all round

1242
01:05:03,240 --> 01:05:06,520
Speaker 3: running back? Why can't you just say running back? You know,

1243
01:05:06,560 --> 01:05:08,840
Speaker 3: why are you qualifying it that kind of thing? You know?

1244
01:05:09,320 --> 01:05:12,760
Speaker 3: I mean it was both there. Hey, that it works.

1245
01:05:13,200 --> 01:05:16,640
Speaker 3: Teams do it and now and nowadays, you know, they

1246
01:05:16,640 --> 01:05:19,120
Speaker 3: take the betting line as a sign of disrespect. Right,

1247
01:05:19,160 --> 01:05:22,680
Speaker 3: nobody believes in us. The whole thing. It's it's really

1248
01:05:22,760 --> 01:05:28,080
Speaker 3: an effective motivator, Really is. Respect is something all these

1249
01:05:28,120 --> 01:05:32,960
Speaker 3: guys crave and when they feel disrespected it it's highly

1250
01:05:33,040 --> 01:05:35,880
Speaker 3: motivating and real challenge and many you step up to

1251
01:05:35,920 --> 01:05:38,720
Speaker 3: the plate. It's tried and true.

1252
01:05:38,840 --> 01:05:41,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's get back to the phones at eight oh

1253
01:05:41,240 --> 01:05:43,880
Speaker 2: three oh five fifty one eighty eight five fifty two,

1254
01:05:43,920 --> 01:05:46,360
Speaker 2: five fifty where we've been asking you what's the biggest

1255
01:05:46,360 --> 01:05:48,440
Speaker 2: difference with this year's playoff version of the Bills in

1256
01:05:48,560 --> 01:05:51,760
Speaker 2: years past? And we go to Gary in Nashville, who's

1257
01:05:51,800 --> 01:05:52,880
Speaker 2: been waiting patiently.

1258
01:05:52,960 --> 01:05:57,280
Speaker 12: What's up Gary, Good afternoon, gentlemen, welcome to Wednesday. Hopefully

1259
01:05:57,320 --> 01:05:59,720
Speaker 12: you're having a good, good weekend. Thanks for letting me

1260
01:05:59,760 --> 01:06:03,360
Speaker 12: talk for a bit. Join in in the conversation. I'd

1261
01:06:03,360 --> 01:06:08,440
Speaker 12: like to preface this before moving forward with the pertinent question.

1262
01:06:10,120 --> 01:06:16,760
Speaker 12: I guess, in my opinion, this twenty twenty five Buffalo

1263
01:06:16,760 --> 01:06:24,000
Speaker 12: Bills playoff team is probably the least I guess skilled

1264
01:06:25,720 --> 01:06:30,600
Speaker 12: as compared to the other years. That being said, obviously

1265
01:06:30,880 --> 01:06:36,720
Speaker 12: because of injuries and other items. To answer your question

1266
01:06:37,880 --> 01:06:43,360
Speaker 12: or topic is, I think what comes here is and obviously, Steve,

1267
01:06:43,440 --> 01:06:45,720
Speaker 12: you can talk to this being a player in the NFL.

1268
01:06:46,640 --> 01:06:51,280
Speaker 12: The mental aspect, I think the Bills in general, whether

1269
01:06:51,320 --> 01:06:56,200
Speaker 12: it's against Jacksonville this week or whomever down the road,

1270
01:06:57,120 --> 01:07:00,880
Speaker 12: Obviously you have to prepare mentally as well as physically,

1271
01:07:02,120 --> 01:07:05,760
Speaker 12: and I believe that that is a process. Obviously you

1272
01:07:05,760 --> 01:07:07,840
Speaker 12: have the game plans and that you have to work into.

1273
01:07:08,480 --> 01:07:11,280
Speaker 12: But I think out of any team in the AFC

1274
01:07:11,560 --> 01:07:14,800
Speaker 12: that you'd be looking at, I think this as a

1275
01:07:14,920 --> 01:07:17,640
Speaker 12: unit because of some of the points that you had

1276
01:07:17,680 --> 01:07:22,120
Speaker 12: talked to before, Chris, when you were talking about, well,

1277
01:07:22,240 --> 01:07:24,880
Speaker 12: you know, the ability to come back in the second half,

1278
01:07:25,280 --> 01:07:29,320
Speaker 12: the ability to make adjustments, the ability to overcome mistakes,

1279
01:07:29,560 --> 01:07:32,560
Speaker 12: whether it be an interception or a fumble or a penalty.

1280
01:07:34,000 --> 01:07:38,840
Speaker 12: I believe that is merit, especially as the season ended.

1281
01:07:40,120 --> 01:07:42,480
Speaker 12: I personally don't think you can take what you did

1282
01:07:42,480 --> 01:07:45,560
Speaker 12: in week three or five or seven and have it

1283
01:07:45,680 --> 01:07:48,760
Speaker 12: necessarily applicable to what you're doing the last couple of

1284
01:07:48,800 --> 01:07:52,320
Speaker 12: weeks a few weeks. So I think that being said,

1285
01:07:53,120 --> 01:07:55,320
Speaker 12: I think as long as you have the execution and

1286
01:07:55,360 --> 01:07:59,400
Speaker 12: the preparedness, you can overcome a lot of the adversary

1287
01:08:00,120 --> 01:08:02,600
Speaker 12: that you're gonna that you're going to face. And to

1288
01:08:02,720 --> 01:08:06,640
Speaker 12: tell you the truth, you have a number seventeen that

1289
01:08:06,720 --> 01:08:09,120
Speaker 12: means a big difference when you're out on the field

1290
01:08:09,120 --> 01:08:10,000
Speaker 12: for sixty minutes.

1291
01:08:10,520 --> 01:08:13,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, well said Gary, Thanks for the call, appreciate it.

1292
01:08:15,240 --> 01:08:18,720
Speaker 2: I just, uh, it's crazy to think about this, but

1293
01:08:19,040 --> 01:08:22,760
Speaker 2: like you look at some of the numbers you know

1294
01:08:22,880 --> 01:08:28,320
Speaker 2: that Trevor Lawrence has put up, and they're just as

1295
01:08:28,320 --> 01:08:31,360
Speaker 2: good as Josh. I mean, Josh has thirty nine total touchdowns,

1296
01:08:31,400 --> 01:08:35,160
Speaker 2: Lawrence has thirty eight. You got a lot of things

1297
01:08:35,680 --> 01:08:38,519
Speaker 2: that are pretty comparable between these two quarterbacks. Lawrence has

1298
01:08:38,600 --> 01:08:40,720
Speaker 2: kind of reached critical mass in his career and you

1299
01:08:40,800 --> 01:08:44,439
Speaker 2: heard JP Shadwick talking about it too. He's just agreed

1300
01:08:44,479 --> 01:08:48,960
Speaker 2: to let it fly. And the Jaguars offense has been

1301
01:08:49,000 --> 01:08:51,920
Speaker 2: the beneficiary. I mean, they are the number one team

1302
01:08:52,080 --> 01:08:55,400
Speaker 2: in point differential since Week eleven, they're like a plus

1303
01:08:55,439 --> 01:08:58,599
Speaker 2: one fifty eight overall on the season. The Bills are

1304
01:08:58,600 --> 01:09:01,360
Speaker 2: for The Bills and Jags are fourth and fifth in

1305
01:09:01,439 --> 01:09:04,120
Speaker 2: total point differential. The Bills lead the league in point

1306
01:09:04,160 --> 01:09:09,639
Speaker 2: differential in the second half, which is noteworthy. But yes,

1307
01:09:09,800 --> 01:09:12,479
Speaker 2: it's great to have Josh. I'd just like to point

1308
01:09:12,479 --> 01:09:14,000
Speaker 2: out that Trevor Lawrence has had a whale of a

1309
01:09:14,040 --> 01:09:17,920
Speaker 2: season and he's like Josh right, he's an a.

1310
01:09:18,240 --> 01:09:20,720
Speaker 3: He started, he started to run the football at more

1311
01:09:20,760 --> 01:09:24,160
Speaker 3: critical moments, keep the team on the field be more efficient.

1312
01:09:24,280 --> 01:09:28,000
Speaker 3: Because of that, they sustain drives more, they stay on

1313
01:09:28,040 --> 01:09:30,920
Speaker 3: the field more, they have more chances to score more touchdowns,

1314
01:09:31,160 --> 01:09:32,960
Speaker 3: they take advantage of it in the red zone. All

1315
01:09:32,960 --> 01:09:35,040
Speaker 3: that stuff happens when you got a guy like Trevor

1316
01:09:35,120 --> 01:09:38,479
Speaker 3: Lawrence or Josh Allen. Everything gets turned up a notch

1317
01:09:38,520 --> 01:09:41,479
Speaker 3: and Jacksonville you can think about it. Bill's fans should

1318
01:09:41,479 --> 01:09:42,960
Speaker 3: be able to look at Jacksonville say yeah, I know

1319
01:09:43,000 --> 01:09:46,240
Speaker 3: what that's like. Got this guy that's been nobody knows

1320
01:09:46,240 --> 01:09:49,000
Speaker 3: about or he's been or like like Trevor has been

1321
01:09:49,040 --> 01:09:52,240
Speaker 3: floundering with a couple of different head coaches, different offensive coordinators,

1322
01:09:52,320 --> 01:09:56,160
Speaker 3: He hasn't really fulfilled his potential. Then all of a sudden,

1323
01:09:56,680 --> 01:09:59,240
Speaker 3: they get it right at the coaching level and the

1324
01:09:59,280 --> 01:10:02,360
Speaker 3: offensive level on the skill level around him, and all

1325
01:10:02,360 --> 01:10:03,920
Speaker 3: of a sudden, he turns into a guy like Josh

1326
01:10:03,960 --> 01:10:05,880
Speaker 3: turned into in twenty twenty. I mean, all of a sudden,

1327
01:10:05,880 --> 01:10:08,439
Speaker 3: he went from this guy was really raw in twenty nineteen,

1328
01:10:08,479 --> 01:10:10,880
Speaker 3: got him the you know they missed the play or got.

1329
01:10:10,840 --> 01:10:12,520
Speaker 1: Him twenty two when they got to the playoffs.

1330
01:10:12,760 --> 01:10:17,519
Speaker 3: Then all of a sudden, boom, twenty twenty hits and

1331
01:10:17,640 --> 01:10:20,120
Speaker 3: Josh Allen is the dude, right, And that's kind of

1332
01:10:20,120 --> 01:10:23,599
Speaker 3: what Jacksonville's feeling now about Trevor Lawrence. And they're right, he.

1333
01:10:23,680 --> 01:10:25,479
Speaker 1: Is got to take a break here.

1334
01:10:25,640 --> 01:10:27,360
Speaker 2: More of your phone calls will also get to the

1335

01:10:30,640 --> 01:10:32,120

Speaker 2: real quick before we pivot to the post practice podium

1346
01:11:10,320 --> 01:11:13,200
Speaker 2: where Josh Allen's addressing the media, and we go to

1347
01:11:13,280 --> 01:11:14,280
Speaker 2: Mark in West Seneca.

1348
01:11:14,320 --> 01:11:18,599
Speaker 14: What's up Mark, Hey, good afternoon, guys. Real quick. When

1349
01:11:18,640 --> 01:11:22,280
Speaker 14: I think about this game, I think Joe Brady's going

1350
01:11:22,320 --> 01:11:24,439
Speaker 14: to have to have a real big hand in this win.

1351
01:11:25,000 --> 01:11:28,920
Speaker 14: And when I say that, I don't think we can

1352
01:11:28,960 --> 01:11:32,479
Speaker 14: go into this game and I'm not suggesting we need

1353
01:11:32,520 --> 01:11:35,559
Speaker 14: to make any kind of major changes. It's unrealistic in

1354
01:11:35,600 --> 01:11:37,599
Speaker 14: the offense at this point in time of the season.

1355
01:11:38,000 --> 01:11:39,880
Speaker 14: But what I believe we need to do is we

1356
01:11:40,000 --> 01:11:41,880
Speaker 14: need to come out and have it at least a

1357
01:11:41,880 --> 01:11:46,120
Speaker 14: handful of plays that we have different formations, things that

1358
01:11:46,120 --> 01:11:48,920
Speaker 14: are going to make Jacksonville think, oh, what are they

1359
01:11:48,960 --> 01:11:51,759
Speaker 14: doing here? Maybe even a couple of two three plays

1360
01:11:51,760 --> 01:11:54,599
Speaker 14: that we haven't run at all, Because if we play

1361
01:11:54,680 --> 01:11:58,560
Speaker 14: reactive and we want them to just show different formations

1362
01:11:58,760 --> 01:12:02,439
Speaker 14: and make us think what are they doing and react

1363
01:12:02,479 --> 01:12:05,120
Speaker 14: to what they're doing, You're not going to put any

1364
01:12:05,160 --> 01:12:07,800
Speaker 14: pause in what they're doing at all from their standpoint,

1365
01:12:08,200 --> 01:12:10,599
Speaker 14: And I think we need to surprise them a little bit.

1366
01:12:10,800 --> 01:12:13,720
Speaker 14: For instance, I'll make a real simple request, let's go

1367
01:12:13,840 --> 01:12:17,080
Speaker 14: wildcat once. Put Josh out in the slot and bring

1368
01:12:17,200 --> 01:12:19,960
Speaker 14: him in jet motion on third and five of us

1369
01:12:20,360 --> 01:12:22,679
Speaker 14: and get him out on the edge in motion where

1370
01:12:22,680 --> 01:12:25,760
Speaker 14: it can either run or throw the ball. That's something

1371
01:12:25,800 --> 01:12:30,120
Speaker 14: we've never done. Is very simplistic play. I would think

1372
01:12:30,160 --> 01:12:32,720
Speaker 14: that would make Jackson think. Jackson will think, well, what

1373
01:12:32,760 --> 01:12:36,479
Speaker 14: are they doing here? Something simple like that, something that

1374
01:12:36,520 --> 01:12:39,519
Speaker 14: we typically do not do. But I think we need

1375
01:12:39,560 --> 01:12:42,080
Speaker 14: to make them think about the picture as much as

1376
01:12:42,120 --> 01:12:44,720
Speaker 14: we need to think about the picture as to what

1377
01:12:44,760 --> 01:12:48,720
Speaker 14: they're doing. So hopefully we can do that. And I know,

1378
01:12:48,960 --> 01:12:51,519
Speaker 14: like I said, it's unrealistic to think we're gonna make

1379
01:12:51,560 --> 01:12:54,240
Speaker 14: any kind of major changes, but we need to do

1380
01:12:54,320 --> 01:12:58,080
Speaker 14: something other than just run dual run jet you know,

1381
01:12:58,760 --> 01:13:01,280
Speaker 14: the screens, the wide receivers, screens, those kinds of things.

1382
01:13:01,320 --> 01:13:02,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, totally.

1383
01:13:02,000 --> 01:13:04,360
Speaker 14: Will we run the same plays out of the same formations.

1384
01:13:04,840 --> 01:13:06,440
Speaker 14: I think we're gonna be in trouble.

1385
01:13:06,160 --> 01:13:09,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, no problem, I get it. Dictate play to the opponent.

1386
01:13:09,120 --> 01:13:11,120
Speaker 2: We always you know, I know a lot of Bills

1387
01:13:11,120 --> 01:13:13,599
Speaker 2: fans would would always talk about how Andy Reid had

1388
01:13:13,600 --> 01:13:15,479
Speaker 2: two or three plays you haven't seen all season that

1389
01:13:15,520 --> 01:13:18,320
Speaker 2: they would have sitting in the holster for their offense

1390
01:13:18,360 --> 01:13:21,599
Speaker 2: to use on their playoff runs. And yeah, probably behoove

1391
01:13:21,680 --> 01:13:23,280
Speaker 2: you to have two or three of your own that

1392
01:13:23,360 --> 01:13:25,519
Speaker 2: you need in a tough spot or in a favorable

1393
01:13:25,560 --> 01:13:26,559
Speaker 2: down and distant situation.

1394
01:13:27,200 --> 01:13:30,679
Speaker 3: Sure. Yeah, the reason and it's fun to think about

1395
01:13:30,680 --> 01:13:33,439
Speaker 3: to being creative and doing all that. And one of

1396
01:13:33,439 --> 01:13:38,120
Speaker 3: the reasons it works is safe. For instance, you do

1397
01:13:38,200 --> 01:13:40,080
Speaker 3: the wildcat thing that you're talking about.

1398
01:13:39,800 --> 01:13:41,080
Speaker 1: Did it last week against the Jet?

1399
01:13:41,120 --> 01:13:43,160
Speaker 3: What you can do? You set your quarterback out, you

1400
01:13:43,200 --> 01:13:45,280
Speaker 3: send Josh out to the sideline. He's a wide receiver.

1401
01:13:45,360 --> 01:13:48,640
Speaker 3: The defense just thinks they see it's Josh Allen, but

1402
01:13:48,680 --> 01:13:51,200
Speaker 3: they treat him like a wide receiver. And then for

1403
01:13:51,240 --> 01:13:54,559
Speaker 3: the Bills, you just call one of Josh's old quarterback

1404
01:13:54,640 --> 01:13:57,519
Speaker 3: runs right with you snap it to the quarterback and

1405
01:13:57,560 --> 01:13:59,320
Speaker 3: it's an end to around with the quarterback right and

1406
01:13:59,360 --> 01:14:02,680
Speaker 3: at the quarterback. Instead of being Josh, it's it's you know,

1407
01:14:03,160 --> 01:14:06,400
Speaker 3: James Cook. So it's simple for your offense room, but

1408
01:14:06,439 --> 01:14:09,080
Speaker 3: it looks like the defense is like going is on

1409
01:14:09,120 --> 01:14:11,759
Speaker 3: their heels again. All right, what's this? What's gonna happen here, right,

1410
01:14:12,520 --> 01:14:14,160
Speaker 3: But it's something you run all the time, so it

1411
01:14:14,200 --> 01:14:17,040
Speaker 3: looks complicated to the defense, but it's very very simple

1412
01:14:17,040 --> 01:14:20,280
Speaker 3: for your guys. That's one way to go about it, yep.

1413
01:14:20,520 --> 01:14:23,120
Speaker 3: Or like Brownie said, you can pull stuff out that

1414
01:14:23,160 --> 01:14:27,519
Speaker 3: nobody has seen yet, uh and do that. It's all

1415
01:14:27,560 --> 01:14:30,040
Speaker 3: on the table and you're right, you gotta win.

1416
01:14:31,160 --> 01:14:34,320
Speaker 1: Let's let's pivot to the post practice podium where Josh

1417
01:14:34,400 --> 01:14:37,439
Speaker 1: Allen is addressing the media in advance of the Bills

1418
01:14:37,479 --> 01:14:38,519
Speaker 1: Jags wild card game.

1419
01:14:39,600 --> 01:14:51,240
Speaker 15: Testing you're full for Dune well in the regular sum number.

1420
01:14:51,080 --> 01:15:00,280
Speaker 16: For I test that to my teammate's coaching staff. Think,

1421
01:15:01,880 --> 01:15:06,360
Speaker 16: you know you have a more I wouldn't say. I

1422
01:15:06,640 --> 01:15:09,719
Speaker 16: wouldn't say I prepare any differently. You know, I wouldn't

1423
01:15:09,720 --> 01:15:11,479
Speaker 16: say I take the game any differently. I think that

1424
01:15:12,040 --> 01:15:14,479
Speaker 16: maybe there's an emphasis on each drive a little more

1425
01:15:14,680 --> 01:15:18,639
Speaker 16: and just knowing that every single drive matters in the playoffs,

1426
01:15:18,680 --> 01:15:20,759
Speaker 16: especially when you're going against good teams and good quarterbacks

1427
01:15:20,800 --> 01:15:26,440
Speaker 16: like we're going against this week. Points are at a premium,

1428
01:15:26,479 --> 01:15:29,000
Speaker 16: you know, being okay with living in you know, taking

1429
01:15:29,000 --> 01:15:33,920
Speaker 16: some easy ones. Joe kind of had me self scout

1430
01:15:34,400 --> 01:15:38,120
Speaker 16: myself throughout the year this last week and I came

1431
01:15:38,160 --> 01:15:41,840
Speaker 16: away obviously just like God, there's so much out there

1432
01:15:41,840 --> 01:15:45,679
Speaker 16: that I've missed, right, whether it's getting a little lazy

1433
01:15:45,720 --> 01:15:47,639
Speaker 16: with my feet and not taking it, taking a checkdown

1434
01:15:47,680 --> 01:15:50,040
Speaker 16: and maybe instead of trying to force something downfield or

1435
01:15:51,439 --> 01:15:53,840
Speaker 16: throwing the ball away, not taking sacks and allowing us

1436
01:15:53,840 --> 01:15:56,080
Speaker 16: to be in in field goal range. And you know,

1437
01:15:56,120 --> 01:15:59,000
Speaker 16: there's there's still so much room to improve, and I

1438
01:15:59,040 --> 01:16:01,160
Speaker 16: think I just have this extra emphasis, like I said,

1439
01:16:01,200 --> 01:16:03,160
Speaker 16: on points at a premium in the playoffs and just

1440
01:16:03,160 --> 01:16:05,639
Speaker 16: trying to do everything I can to to to give

1441
01:16:05,720 --> 01:16:06,200
Speaker 16: us points.

1442
01:16:06,360 --> 01:16:08,920
Speaker 17: How valuable was that self skelp.

1443
01:16:10,800 --> 01:16:11,920
Speaker 4: As you reflect back.

1444
01:16:12,040 --> 01:16:15,439
Speaker 17: And after beating yourself up on something, Yeah, yeah.

1445
01:16:15,280 --> 01:16:16,960
Speaker 16: I mean you're sitting there like God, I stink. You know,

1446
01:16:17,040 --> 01:16:18,280
Speaker 16: it's like what am I thinking?

1447
01:16:18,280 --> 01:16:18,439
Speaker 4: Here?

1448
01:16:18,439 --> 01:16:20,320
Speaker 16: What am I doing? And I think that's you know,

1449
01:16:20,400 --> 01:16:22,200
Speaker 16: the film is never as good, it's never as bad

1450
01:16:22,240 --> 01:16:25,400
Speaker 16: as you think it is going to be. But going

1451
01:16:25,439 --> 01:16:28,360
Speaker 16: into it, just just trusting reads, trusting feet, trusting eyes,

1452
01:16:28,360 --> 01:16:30,559
Speaker 16: trusting my teammates. I think that's what it kind of

1453
01:16:30,560 --> 01:16:32,600
Speaker 16: comes down to. And I think there's just you know,

1454
01:16:32,640 --> 01:16:34,160
Speaker 16: as we get into the playoffs, it was a very

1455
01:16:34,560 --> 01:16:39,240
Speaker 16: helpful exercise to do, you know, And again it's every

1456
01:16:39,360 --> 01:16:40,800
Speaker 16: team that we're playing here on out is a good

1457
01:16:40,800 --> 01:16:42,880
Speaker 16: team and it's no different this week. They got a

1458
01:16:42,920 --> 01:16:45,080
Speaker 16: really good d line, They're making a lot of a

1459
01:16:45,160 --> 01:16:46,960
Speaker 16: lot of plays in the back end. They've forced a

1460
01:16:46,960 --> 01:16:50,080
Speaker 16: lot of turnovers throughout the year. So making sure that

1461
01:16:50,120 --> 01:16:52,920
Speaker 16: we're doing everything in our power to make sure that

1462
01:16:52,960 --> 01:16:53,920
Speaker 16: each drivings and a.

1463
01:16:53,880 --> 01:16:57,280
Speaker 18: Kick battle, like you mentioned the throwaways, and maybe not

1464
01:16:57,479 --> 01:16:58,760
Speaker 18: take it something that we're there.

1465
01:16:59,000 --> 01:17:02,559
Speaker 3: What's the battle like is throwing it away versus trying

1466
01:17:02,600 --> 01:17:03,440
Speaker 3: to make a play?

1467
01:17:03,880 --> 01:17:06,479
Speaker 16: Yeah, I mean, I think there's just you know, that

1468
01:17:06,600 --> 01:17:10,040
Speaker 16: added layer of knowing down in distance and flow of

1469
01:17:10,080 --> 01:17:12,640
Speaker 16: the game and when to take risks, when not to

1470
01:17:12,680 --> 01:17:15,599
Speaker 16: take take risks. And I think maybe throughout the regular

1471
01:17:15,640 --> 01:17:17,800
Speaker 16: season you get into this mold of just like we

1472
01:17:17,880 --> 01:17:19,799
Speaker 16: have more games, you know, I can try to squeeze

1473
01:17:19,840 --> 01:17:22,720
Speaker 16: this one in and and see how it goes. And

1474
01:17:23,320 --> 01:17:26,599
Speaker 16: you know, obviously in the playoffs, that's those are those

1475
01:17:26,600 --> 01:17:29,439
Speaker 16: are premium drives and you can't really risk too much.

1476
01:17:29,479 --> 01:17:31,760
Speaker 16: And you know, obviously you want to go out there

1477
01:17:31,800 --> 01:17:33,439
Speaker 16: and make the play that's that's to be made. But

1478
01:17:34,000 --> 01:17:37,080
Speaker 16: sometimes the play is throwing at three yards and get

1479
01:17:37,080 --> 01:17:39,719
Speaker 16: into a second, second and seven instead of a second

1480
01:17:39,760 --> 01:17:40,040
Speaker 16: and ten.

1481
01:17:41,240 --> 01:17:45,120
Speaker 18: So yeah, they're kind of that self scouting. Is that

1482
01:17:45,439 --> 01:17:47,760
Speaker 18: unusual for you or different than at years past? Or

1483
01:17:47,760 --> 01:17:48,759
Speaker 18: had you done that before?

1484
01:17:48,920 --> 01:17:49,000
Speaker 8: No?

1485
01:17:49,080 --> 01:17:53,000
Speaker 16: Different in years past? You know, not too often are

1486
01:17:53,000 --> 01:17:54,920
Speaker 16: you in a position where you can, you know, not

1487
01:17:55,040 --> 01:17:58,040
Speaker 16: play the last week of the season. And you know

1488
01:17:58,080 --> 01:18:01,600
Speaker 16: that was good and bad, right because we knew that

1489
01:18:01,640 --> 01:18:04,479
Speaker 16: we couldn't win our division. But you know, just trying

1490
01:18:04,479 --> 01:18:07,479
Speaker 16: to get health healthy for the playoffs. And again that

1491
01:18:07,720 --> 01:18:09,680
Speaker 16: I think it was a very healthful exercise.

1492
01:18:10,080 --> 01:18:13,360
Speaker 18: Physical arrest, which is the obvious benefit, but was there

1493
01:18:13,360 --> 01:18:16,080
Speaker 18: almost a mental reset there that was pretty beneficial for.

1494
01:18:16,040 --> 01:18:16,439
Speaker 4: You as well?

1495
01:18:16,479 --> 01:18:18,479
Speaker 16: I think so. I think so. And again just coming

1496
01:18:18,520 --> 01:18:19,640
Speaker 16: out here with the guys, trying to have a good

1497
01:18:19,640 --> 01:18:24,400
Speaker 16: week of practice, put together our best stuff and comes

1498
01:18:24,439 --> 01:18:26,400
Speaker 16: down to who executes better on game day, and you know,

1499
01:18:26,479 --> 01:18:28,680
Speaker 16: Sunday one o'clock, you know we're doing everything we can

1500
01:18:28,760 --> 01:18:29,760
Speaker 16: do to be ready for that.

1501
01:18:30,320 --> 01:18:32,920
Speaker 19: Debscriber to the theory that run in the playoffs, run

1502
01:18:32,960 --> 01:18:34,720
Speaker 19: game and defense travel.

1503
01:18:34,439 --> 01:18:38,160
Speaker 16: For no matter where you go. Absolutely, but this is

1504
01:18:38,200 --> 01:18:41,519
Speaker 16: a team that's throughout the year statistically been very hard

1505
01:18:41,560 --> 01:18:44,600
Speaker 16: to run the ball on. So whatever it takes for

1506
01:18:44,680 --> 01:18:46,880
Speaker 16: us to to do, we have to be willing to do.

1507
01:18:47,000 --> 01:18:51,280
Speaker 16: And you know, if that's more run, more past, whatever

1508
01:18:51,280 --> 01:18:52,720
Speaker 16: it is throughout the flow of the game, just trying

1509
01:18:52,720 --> 01:18:55,160
Speaker 16: to figure it out and find ways to move the football.

1510
01:18:55,200 --> 01:18:55,680
Speaker 4: A lot of your.

1511
01:18:55,680 --> 01:18:58,280
Speaker 19: Teammates to described the adversity of you guys have faced it,

1512
01:18:58,400 --> 01:19:01,040
Speaker 19: happy to a great to get for that adversity, how

1513
01:19:01,040 --> 01:19:03,040
Speaker 19: do you see that team and buying great to get

1514
01:19:03,160 --> 01:19:05,720
Speaker 19: least some tough challenges, you know throughout the regulations.

1515
01:19:06,040 --> 01:19:07,720
Speaker 16: Yeah, I think we've been forced into a lot of

1516
01:19:07,720 --> 01:19:11,280
Speaker 16: different scenarios this year and found ourselves out of most

1517
01:19:11,280 --> 01:19:13,840
Speaker 16: of them. There's something that obviously we we've learned from

1518
01:19:13,880 --> 01:19:16,960
Speaker 16: and taken that that knowledge that we've gained throughout the

1519
01:19:16,960 --> 01:19:19,439
Speaker 16: season into the playoffs. And having having guys that have

1520
01:19:19,439 --> 01:19:22,880
Speaker 16: been around the playoffs regularly on a team, I think

1521
01:19:22,920 --> 01:19:26,599
Speaker 16: it does pay dividends. But again, just trusting the veteran leadership,

1522
01:19:26,640 --> 01:19:29,320
Speaker 16: trusting trusting our guys to to convey the message to

1523
01:19:29,360 --> 01:19:30,880
Speaker 16: some of the younger guys and guys that are newer

1524
01:19:30,920 --> 01:19:34,880
Speaker 16: to this program. And again it's just whatever we can

1525
01:19:34,960 --> 01:19:36,960
Speaker 16: do to to make one more play and score one

1526
01:19:36,960 --> 01:19:38,840
Speaker 16: more point than our opponent, and that's that's our.

1527
01:19:38,760 --> 01:19:43,599
Speaker 15: Goal bigger overall the playoffs range though, you know, as

1528
01:19:43,680 --> 01:19:47,360
Speaker 15: well as this team has done, it's not gotten help goal.

1529
01:19:47,439 --> 01:19:50,799
Speaker 17: I hope it's the wild card well, but that respect

1530
01:19:50,840 --> 01:19:54,120
Speaker 17: for that cloud. If you've fag over this franchise, that's all.

1531
01:19:54,200 --> 01:19:56,760
Speaker 17: In short, it's helping a goal over the year.

1532
01:19:57,640 --> 01:19:59,759
Speaker 4: Does that way into into it anyway?

1533
01:20:00,360 --> 01:20:02,000
Speaker 16: I don't think so. I think we're taking it one

1534
01:20:02,000 --> 01:20:05,720
Speaker 16: game at a time. You know, we're not focused on

1535
01:20:06,160 --> 01:20:08,519
Speaker 16: what's happened in the past, and we're not you know,

1536
01:20:08,560 --> 01:20:10,599
Speaker 16: we're a completely different team than we were last year

1537
01:20:10,600 --> 01:20:12,439
Speaker 16: and the year before that and so on and so forth.

1538
01:20:12,560 --> 01:20:16,280
Speaker 16: So again, our our job is to to play the

1539
01:20:16,360 --> 01:20:18,519
Speaker 16: Jacksonville Jaguars at one o'clock on Sunday, and that's what

1540
01:20:18,560 --> 01:20:19,000
Speaker 16: we're gonna do.

1541
01:20:21,200 --> 01:20:24,960
Speaker 1: Elite players mindset when this time and year, goals are.

1542
01:20:24,960 --> 01:20:30,439
Speaker 16: On again, it's just doing whatever it takes to get

1543
01:20:30,479 --> 01:20:31,000
Speaker 16: the job done.

1544
01:20:31,040 --> 01:20:31,320
Speaker 13: And and.

1545
01:20:34,040 --> 01:20:36,080
Speaker 16: You know, sometimes you gotta put your body on the line.

1546
01:20:36,120 --> 01:20:39,600
Speaker 16: But mentally preparing in a certain way and bringing a

1547
01:20:39,640 --> 01:20:41,960
Speaker 16: long guys a certain way I think plays into it.

1548
01:20:42,120 --> 01:20:46,000
Speaker 16: But yeah, just having that you know, can't can't be

1549
01:20:46,080 --> 01:20:51,400
Speaker 16: denied mindset. But again, every every game is different. You know,

1550
01:20:51,439 --> 01:20:53,800
Speaker 16: we're going on the road for the first time in

1551
01:20:53,840 --> 01:20:57,000
Speaker 16: a long time in the wild Card, so different atmosphere

1552
01:20:57,120 --> 01:20:59,240
Speaker 16: against a really good team that's playing really good football

1553
01:20:59,320 --> 01:21:01,519
Speaker 16: right now. So gonna have our hands full. And this

1554
01:21:01,600 --> 01:21:03,920
Speaker 16: is what playoff football is all about. Different feeling though,

1555
01:21:05,040 --> 01:21:09,439
Speaker 16: and in terms of what in terms of the transition, yeah,

1556
01:21:09,479 --> 01:21:11,040
Speaker 16: I mean back against the wall. Yeah, you have to

1557
01:21:11,080 --> 01:21:13,240
Speaker 16: have that mindset of I mean, you win the game,

1558
01:21:13,320 --> 01:21:16,479
Speaker 16: where you go home, and that's exactly what the playoffs

1559
01:21:16,479 --> 01:21:19,760
Speaker 16: are about. And again, you never you never want to

1560
01:21:19,800 --> 01:21:21,320
Speaker 16: You always want to inter season on a win. And

1561
01:21:21,920 --> 01:21:23,479
Speaker 16: you know that's that's our mingle.

1562
01:21:23,720 --> 01:21:25,640
Speaker 18: As you mentioned having a different team than you have

1563
01:21:25,840 --> 01:21:27,640
Speaker 18: last year or the year before. You gotta go back

1564
01:21:27,680 --> 01:21:29,719
Speaker 18: to twenty twenty one, the last time you were in Jacksonville,

1565
01:21:29,760 --> 01:21:32,080
Speaker 18: so obviously the personnel on both sides, it's quite different.

1566
01:21:32,160 --> 01:21:34,559
Speaker 16: That game wasn't wasn't pretty, not a good one.

1567
01:21:34,680 --> 01:21:37,080
Speaker 18: Yeah, do you take anything away from that or do

1568
01:21:37,120 --> 01:21:38,960
Speaker 18: you Is that one you kind of tried to mentally

1569
01:21:39,479 --> 01:21:40,040
Speaker 18: forget about.

1570
01:21:40,360 --> 01:21:43,880
Speaker 16: I mean, not too many people that were there then

1571
01:21:44,040 --> 01:21:48,760
Speaker 16: are there now, So Josh Allen. You know, he got

1572
01:21:48,800 --> 01:21:50,400
Speaker 16: to me a couple of times that game. He's a

1573
01:21:50,439 --> 01:21:52,479
Speaker 16: fantastic football player. So yeah, we're gonna have our hands

1574
01:21:52,520 --> 01:21:54,080
Speaker 16: full of him. But you know, they've had a lot

1575
01:21:54,120 --> 01:21:57,559
Speaker 16: of good players on that team, and they've they've made

1576
01:21:57,600 --> 01:21:59,680
Speaker 16: some really good plays this year, and they've played really

1577
01:21:59,680 --> 01:22:01,400
Speaker 16: good foot ball. So, like I said, we're gonna have

1578
01:22:01,400 --> 01:22:04,240
Speaker 16: our hands full in the locker room. After the last game,

1579
01:22:04,439 --> 01:22:07,240
Speaker 16: we're told your team, I love last side. I don't

1580
01:22:07,240 --> 01:22:08,840
Speaker 16: remember what the context it was in, but I don't

1581
01:22:08,880 --> 01:22:12,639
Speaker 16: know you that sentence. What deal I love about discroup.

1582
01:22:13,240 --> 01:22:15,720
Speaker 16: I love the mindset, the grit, the players that we

1583
01:22:15,760 --> 01:22:19,200
Speaker 16: have in this locker room, you know, to the point

1584
01:22:19,280 --> 01:22:23,080
Speaker 16: earlier of being in different scenarios and fighting out of

1585
01:22:23,160 --> 01:22:27,360
Speaker 16: it and finding ways to win football games. Just the

1586
01:22:27,680 --> 01:22:30,280
Speaker 16: belief in who we've gotten this locker room. What's what's

1587
01:22:30,320 --> 01:22:35,000
Speaker 16: different about road games and the challenges in the playoffs. Well, typically,

1588
01:22:35,360 --> 01:22:38,680
Speaker 16: you know, more hyped crowds. You have to be very

1589
01:22:38,720 --> 01:22:42,720
Speaker 16: good on snap timing. You know, it allows defenses to

1590
01:22:43,360 --> 01:22:45,320
Speaker 16: to hide their hand a little better. You know, when

1591
01:22:45,320 --> 01:22:46,960
Speaker 16: they see a leg go up, they can they can

1592
01:22:47,040 --> 01:22:50,679
Speaker 16: move it. You know, while we can't change. So again

1593
01:22:50,720 --> 01:22:52,400
Speaker 16: we're gonna have to be very good at at pre

1594
01:22:52,520 --> 01:22:54,840
Speaker 16: snap and post snap reads and getting through them and

1595
01:22:55,960 --> 01:22:58,760
Speaker 16: again run game, pass, game, you name it. We just

1596
01:22:58,840 --> 01:23:00,839
Speaker 16: got to make sure that we're executing our details.

1597
01:23:01,360 --> 01:23:04,360
Speaker 10: What's the value or significance playoff.

1598
01:23:04,000 --> 01:23:05,000
Speaker 3: Experience in the NFL?

1599
01:23:09,120 --> 01:23:12,160
Speaker 16: You know, you know, understanding, you know what you're gonna feel,

1600
01:23:12,200 --> 01:23:15,120
Speaker 16: the emotions that you're gonna feel. But again, it's it's

1601
01:23:16,120 --> 01:23:18,639
Speaker 16: still the game of football, right that the game hasn't changed,

1602
01:23:19,960 --> 01:23:21,519
Speaker 16: you know, like I said earlier, it's just win or

1603
01:23:21,560 --> 01:23:24,439
Speaker 16: go home. And that's that's that's the mindset that we have.

1604
01:23:26,000 --> 01:23:28,639
Speaker 1: Josh truths.

1605
01:23:29,840 --> 01:23:33,360
Speaker 4: To offield pitchers for to take the truths off.

1606
01:23:34,960 --> 01:23:37,679
Speaker 16: Again, I'm just trying to focus on Jacksonville one o'clock.

1607
01:23:37,760 --> 01:23:41,200
Speaker 16: And there's some dang good football teams in this in

1608
01:23:41,320 --> 01:23:44,320
Speaker 16: this playoffs, and it's gonna take everyone in this locker's

1609
01:23:44,360 --> 01:23:45,639
Speaker 16: best effort to get the job done.

1610
01:23:46,560 --> 01:23:51,760
Speaker 4: Question how to get fast this time of how does

1611
01:23:51,840 --> 01:23:56,400
Speaker 4: that message can gain to expert play here?

1612
01:23:58,360 --> 01:23:59,840
Speaker 1: And when did you realize there?

1613
01:24:04,960 --> 01:24:08,000
Speaker 16: I mean, just trusting the vets that we've had in

1614
01:24:08,040 --> 01:24:09,760
Speaker 16: this locker room. Uh, you know, I go back to

1615
01:24:10,760 --> 01:24:14,000
Speaker 16: my first few years with Micah and Employer and just

1616
01:24:14,080 --> 01:24:16,240
Speaker 16: feeding off of what they've been through in their careers.

1617
01:24:16,320 --> 01:24:21,599
Speaker 16: And again, it's it may it may seem a lot

1618
01:24:21,680 --> 01:24:25,240
Speaker 16: different of playoff football, but the way that we pride

1619
01:24:25,240 --> 01:24:28,120
Speaker 16: ourselves in our standard and making sure that we are

1620
01:24:28,120 --> 01:24:31,719
Speaker 16: playoff caliber throughout the season. You know, we're not practicing

1621
01:24:31,760 --> 01:24:35,320
Speaker 16: any longer this week. We're not doing anything extra in

1622
01:24:35,560 --> 01:24:39,000
Speaker 16: terms of preparation. We feel like throughout the year, this

1623
01:24:39,120 --> 01:24:41,240
Speaker 16: is how we prepare. This is how we try to

1624
01:24:41,240 --> 01:24:43,000
Speaker 16: win football games. And you know, you may spend a

1625
01:24:43,040 --> 01:24:46,000
Speaker 16: little longer watching certain looks and in terms of what

1626
01:24:46,120 --> 01:24:48,320
Speaker 16: they can do to you and trying to clean things

1627
01:24:48,400 --> 01:24:51,519
Speaker 16: up on our end, but I think the processes of

1628
01:24:51,560 --> 01:24:53,439
Speaker 16: the process and the standard that we have as the standard.

1629
01:24:53,520 --> 01:24:55,240
Speaker 16: So you know, we're not trying to change a whole lot,

1630
01:24:55,360 --> 01:24:57,559
Speaker 16: just the mindset of going in there being ready to play.

1631
01:25:03,520 --> 01:25:05,960
Speaker 16: Uh yeah a lot. That was a crazy ending in

1632
01:25:06,040 --> 01:25:10,519
Speaker 16: that game, but you know, as soon as the game ended,

1633
01:25:10,640 --> 01:25:12,400
Speaker 16: you know kind of saw the stat up there and

1634
01:25:13,120 --> 01:25:15,519
Speaker 16: send him a congratulations text. And he deserves it. He's,

1635
01:25:16,400 --> 01:25:18,720
Speaker 16: i mean, the best back in the league, you know,

1636
01:25:18,800 --> 01:25:22,000
Speaker 16: and I can strongly say that, you know, the way

1637
01:25:22,080 --> 01:25:24,680
Speaker 16: that he has carried himself throughout this year. The way

1638
01:25:24,720 --> 01:25:27,639
Speaker 16: that he consistently performs on a game to game basis

1639
01:25:27,760 --> 01:25:31,479
Speaker 16: how hard he practices. You know, he's done everything to

1640
01:25:31,560 --> 01:25:33,439
Speaker 16: deserve this honor, and it's it's really cool. And we

1641
01:25:33,520 --> 01:25:35,519
Speaker 16: got to keep right, you know, rolling with him in

1642
01:25:35,520 --> 01:25:39,160
Speaker 16: the playoffs along, because yeah, I mean early on in

1643
01:25:39,200 --> 01:25:40,680
Speaker 16: the game it didn't look like it was gonna hold

1644
01:25:40,760 --> 01:25:43,840
Speaker 16: up too well. But yeah, fortunate for us it did,

1645
01:25:43,880 --> 01:25:46,240
Speaker 16: and fortunate for him. And you can you can write

1646
01:25:46,280 --> 01:25:48,000
Speaker 16: that one down, but I know he's more focused on

1647
01:25:48,479 --> 01:25:51,880
Speaker 16: helping this team win playoff games and ultimately win the

1648
01:25:51,920 --> 01:25:54,439
Speaker 16: super Bowl. And you know that was a minor thing

1649
01:25:54,520 --> 01:25:56,360
Speaker 16: for him, and you know, I think he's probably already

1650
01:25:56,360 --> 01:25:56,680
Speaker 16: passed it.

1651
01:25:57,000 --> 01:26:00,439
Speaker 17: He felt, look felt we took part down because this

1652
01:26:00,560 --> 01:26:04,800
Speaker 17: is a rope? Is there something that feelish you and

1653
01:26:04,880 --> 01:26:08,200
Speaker 17: the fact that you never want a rope playoff rota?

1654
01:26:08,600 --> 01:26:12,920
Speaker 16: Yeah, yeah, I mean that's yeah, that's what we're gonna

1655
01:26:12,920 --> 01:26:14,799
Speaker 16: have to do this year if we want to accomplish

1656
01:26:14,840 --> 01:26:17,360
Speaker 16: our goals. So it's all hands on deck.

1657
01:26:19,360 --> 01:26:19,680
Speaker 4: All right.

1658
01:26:19,720 --> 01:26:23,360
Speaker 2: That's Josh Allen addressing the media this afternoon following practice.

1659
01:26:23,760 --> 01:26:25,960
Speaker 2: We'll take a break here, but we will address when

1660
01:26:26,000 --> 01:26:29,759
Speaker 2: we get back the idea to have Josh self scout

1661
01:26:30,560 --> 01:26:34,240
Speaker 2: in week eighteen as opposed to getting ready for the

1662
01:26:34,360 --> 01:26:36,439
Speaker 2: Jets knowing Mitch Trubisky was going to play the game.

1663
01:26:36,520 --> 01:26:39,240
Speaker 2: We'll discuss the merits and value of that when we

1664
01:26:39,320 --> 01:26:41,599
Speaker 2: get back here. On One Bills Live presented by Colt

1665
01:26:41,640 --> 01:26:43,080
Speaker 2: of Health, It's Buffalo Bills Radio.

1666
01:26:57,760 --> 01:26:59,720
Speaker 1: Planning a game day or tailgate.

1667
01:26:59,800 --> 01:27:02,559
Speaker 2: Make get it easy with cash ad pools, whether you're

1668
01:27:02,640 --> 01:27:06,200
Speaker 2: covering snacks, tickets, or that new Bills Jersey Cash app

1669
01:27:06,320 --> 01:27:09,880
Speaker 2: helps you collect money from your group without the hassle.

1670
01:27:10,000 --> 01:27:13,320
Speaker 2: Start your pool today and bring everyone in on the fund.

1671
01:27:13,880 --> 01:27:17,600
Speaker 2: Wanted to discuss what Josh Allen spoke about in his

1672
01:27:17,720 --> 01:27:20,679
Speaker 2: press conference today with the media. He said that Joe

1673
01:27:20,760 --> 01:27:27,840
Speaker 2: Brady tasked him with scouting himself last week. They knew

1674
01:27:27,880 --> 01:27:29,840
Speaker 2: he wasn't really going to play more than a snap,

1675
01:27:30,479 --> 01:27:32,720
Speaker 2: so they had him. Instead of focusing on game plan

1676
01:27:32,840 --> 01:27:36,439
Speaker 2: installation that was handled by Trubisky, they had Josh spend

1677
01:27:36,439 --> 01:27:38,439
Speaker 2: a lot of his time last week self scouting his

1678
01:27:38,600 --> 01:27:42,200
Speaker 2: play from the entire twenty twenty five season. How do

1679
01:27:42,320 --> 01:27:45,520
Speaker 2: you think that can best benefit his play on Sunday.

1680
01:27:46,000 --> 01:27:51,000
Speaker 3: Well, that's interesting. You've said it a million times, so

1681
01:27:51,080 --> 01:27:52,960
Speaker 3: you've seen it. And that's the way Josh is. He's

1682
01:27:53,000 --> 01:27:55,600
Speaker 3: the most self aware guy you'll ever see, right, So

1683
01:27:55,760 --> 01:27:58,760
Speaker 3: he has the ability to look at himself and say,

1684
01:27:59,520 --> 01:28:01,720
Speaker 3: I need to do this better. I should have done then,

1685
01:28:01,880 --> 01:28:03,920
Speaker 3: and particularly when you've got the hindsight of how the

1686
01:28:04,000 --> 01:28:08,080
Speaker 3: game turned out. The problem the only problem with self

1687
01:28:08,120 --> 01:28:11,000
Speaker 3: scout is if you if you go back and say, man,

1688
01:28:11,040 --> 01:28:15,080
Speaker 3: I should have done this on this play, and the

1689
01:28:15,240 --> 01:28:17,720
Speaker 3: problem is you don't know the ripple effects of that

1690
01:28:18,200 --> 01:28:21,439
Speaker 3: making that throw. After that you can only go on

1691
01:28:21,520 --> 01:28:26,080
Speaker 3: what actually happened. I think it's really smart though.

1692
01:28:27,920 --> 01:28:28,360
Speaker 4: I like it.

1693
01:28:28,600 --> 01:28:31,719
Speaker 3: Most of these guys Josh included, particularly a self Awarrees

1694
01:28:31,760 --> 01:28:34,920
Speaker 3: I just said he was and he is. They're their

1695
01:28:34,960 --> 01:28:38,000
Speaker 3: own worst quit critic. They're like, I would have done

1696
01:28:38,040 --> 01:28:40,920
Speaker 3: this better, I should have done that better. And to

1697
01:28:41,000 --> 01:28:43,400
Speaker 3: put him on and give him the job of being

1698
01:28:43,520 --> 01:28:47,240
Speaker 3: that it's probably pretty enlightening for him.

1699
01:28:47,400 --> 01:28:52,080
Speaker 2: I just think it helps to serve as an immediate

1700
01:28:52,240 --> 01:28:57,800
Speaker 2: reminder as to how much more efficient he can be

1701
01:28:58,560 --> 01:29:00,799
Speaker 2: if he plays within the strug sure of the offense.

1702
01:29:00,840 --> 01:29:02,960
Speaker 2: There are times where he gets outside the structure of

1703
01:29:03,000 --> 01:29:05,560
Speaker 2: the offense, whether he's leaving the pocket too early or

1704
01:29:05,640 --> 01:29:08,720
Speaker 2: not taking the easy throw and instead waiting for a

1705
01:29:08,760 --> 01:29:11,120
Speaker 2: bigger play downfield to develop that never comes, and then

1706
01:29:11,160 --> 01:29:13,599
Speaker 2: he's got to scramble around and make something happen. Where

1707
01:29:13,600 --> 01:29:16,040
Speaker 2: if he stays in the structure of the offense, the

1708
01:29:16,160 --> 01:29:19,680
Speaker 2: offense more than likely stays on schedule, and you move

1709
01:29:19,760 --> 01:29:21,559
Speaker 2: the ball down the field and put points on the board.

1710
01:29:21,600 --> 01:29:23,920
Speaker 2: And I think, based on his answers in terms of

1711
01:29:24,000 --> 01:29:27,679
Speaker 2: what he felt, he found it was beneficial in driving

1712
01:29:27,760 --> 01:29:28,439
Speaker 2: that home to him.

1713
01:29:28,600 --> 01:29:30,400
Speaker 3: It'll be interesting to see if it changed him. If

1714
01:29:30,439 --> 01:29:33,559
Speaker 3: we can even tell. He'll probably make some different decisions,

1715
01:29:33,600 --> 01:29:35,160
Speaker 3: but we'll see if we can tell what they are.

1716
01:29:36,080 --> 01:29:39,280
Speaker 2: We'll talk about it more tomorrow one o'clock. Be right

1717
01:29:39,360 --> 01:29:41,320
Speaker 2: back here for another edition and one Bill's Live
