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

2
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:39,120
Speaker 2: All Right, welcome to a Wednesday edition of One Bill's Live.

3
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:43,000
Speaker 2: Chris Brown Steve Tasker. On an ugly day here in

4
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:46,640
Speaker 2: western New York, it's like the end of days out there.

5
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:49,600
Speaker 2: You kind of want to build an arc or something crazy.

6
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:53,360
Speaker 2: Did you did you see that news story about how

7
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:57,960
Speaker 2: they think they found the remnants of Noah's ark Uh

8
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 2: on the border of Turkey and on I have not

9
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:01,959
Speaker 2: heard that.

10
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:04,559
Speaker 3: It was interesting, to say the least.

11
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 2: They've done like some underground surveilling and radar and stuff.

12
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 2: It's pretty compelling. They got people like doing pilgrimages there

13
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 2: thinking it's the arc. Well there you go, and it's

14
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 2: about the correct size based on Biblical verse.

15
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 3: Pretty wild. That's yeah, it was.

16
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 4: I'll look into it, ye look it up.

17
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 3: It's really interesting.

18
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:33,480
Speaker 2: I guess this mass kind of got pushed higher to

19
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 2: the surface from thousands of years ago from an earthquake.

20
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 3: So it's the shape of it makes you think. I'll

21
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 3: just say that.

22
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 4: Do they have pictures and like sonograms and you know.

23
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, they did the whole thing, and I think what

24
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 2: they've been able to determine is there is a long

25
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 2: car door gap all the way down the length of

26
00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 2: this mass that's underground, and they suspect that's the car

27
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 2: door that you know connected the whole.

28
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:08,519
Speaker 3: Well, I don't know about that. I don't know about that,

29
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:12,799
Speaker 3: but people are pretty there are people out there that

30
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 3: are convinced, and.

31
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 2: So I found the story it'd be very interesting and compelling.

32
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 2: So I'm curious to see where it goes. Like the

33
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 2: thing was made of wood over two thousand years ago,

34
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 2: I'm imagining they can't dig it up because you know,

35
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 2: stuff's going to disintegrate as soon as you touch it.

36
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:34,520
Speaker 2: But maybe not. Maybe all the wood's petrified. Maybe you

37
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 2: got a petrified arc down there. That'd be wild, wouldn't

38
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:40,079
Speaker 2: you call that?

39
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:40,800
Speaker 5: Like?

40
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,920
Speaker 2: That would have to be up there with the greatest

41
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 2: like archaeological discoveries ever.

42
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, there'd be a movie about it, right, I mean.

43
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, of course there would.

44
00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 4: That'd be kind of it would absolutely, I'd be awesome.

45
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 2: It'd be like there, I know, there's been some cool things,

46
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 2: like I know the archaeologists found that whole Chinese Army

47
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:07,520
Speaker 2: of statues underground?

48
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 3: You remember that?

49
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:10,399
Speaker 4: How do you miss that? How does that like that? Hey?

50
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 4: Look what we found there's a three thirty thousand square

51
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 4: foot tomb with like one hundred owned soldiers, Sish soldiers.

52
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 4: We just found it. I don't know, presto change.

53
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:25,960
Speaker 3: I think there might be more, No kidding, there might be.

54
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 4: There might be one or two things on this earth

55
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 4: that we have forgotten about and go back.

56
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 3: And say, oh, look, how did we miss them?

57
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 6: Yeah?

58
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 2: Maybe who kept the horrible records that told us this

59
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 2: was down here?

60
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 4: Can't anybody write anything down right? Yeah?

61
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 3: So I'm come on.

62
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 2: I don't know what they're gonna do next, but I was.

63
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 2: I was glued to that the other day when I

64
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 2: saw it on the news. It was pretty wild. Plenty

65
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 2: of notes to get to concerning the bills, UH and

66
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 2: your practice updates are resented by leecom your Lake Erie

67
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 2: College of Osiopathic Medicine head coach Sean McDermott provided an

68
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 2: updated injury report. Not practicing today defensive tackle Federian Mathis

69
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 2: he's got a shoulder ailment tight end. Dalton king Kay

70
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 2: with the hamstring also not practicing limited in practice today.

71
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:23,039
Speaker 2: Hold on to your hats, people, Terrell Bernard, Joey Bosa,

72
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 2: Cam Lewis, who's a new addition Khalil Shakir with a

73
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:32,279
Speaker 2: rib injury, Dorian Williams, Christian Benford who missed last week's game,

74
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 2: and Jack Thompson. Full participants aj Epanessa, although it was

75
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 2: not clarified as to whether he is out of the

76
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:45,279
Speaker 2: concussion protocol yet. You can be practicing fully and still

77
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 2: not be out of the protocol, so we'll have to

78
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 2: get some clarification on that. But he's practicing fully, as

79
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 2: is Jordan Phillips, Joshua Palmer and TJ. Sanders, who at

80
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:59,799
Speaker 2: the moment is still on injured reserve. But the Bills

81
00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 2: do you have an open roster spot on their fifty

82
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:06,279
Speaker 2: three man roster With Landon Jackson going on injured reserve

83
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 2: after getting injured in last week's game, the Bills cannot

84
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 2: seem to get a player on defense back without losing another.

85
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 3: I know they're all taking turns on ir.

86
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:19,840
Speaker 4: It's crazy, so bad, It's so bad.

87
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:21,479
Speaker 3: What is in the water around here?

88
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 4: It is so bad. But you know, they they gave

89
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:28,599
Speaker 4: Yeoman's effort against the Dolphins this last week. They had

90
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 4: them to sixteen points throughout most of the game. You'd

91
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 4: think if the offense could have gotten on the rails

92
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 4: instead of being you know, mia no no, no pun intended.

93
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:43,719
Speaker 4: If they could have gotten you think that game would

94
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 4: have gone much differently for the defense at the end

95
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 4: of it as well. But as it was that, you know,

96
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 4: the Dolphins just warmed they were gas, They just warmed down,

97
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 4: snapped off two late runs for touchdowns and made it

98
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 4: look like a laugher. It wasn't a laugher going into

99
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,479
Speaker 4: the fourth quarter, and the defense was in large part

100
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 4: to give credit to that they hung in their tough,

101
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 4: really tough.

102
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 2: The Bills also signed free agent defensive end Morgan Fox

103
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 2: to the practice squad. Fox is a nine year NFL

104
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 2: VET who has fifteen and a half sacks the last

105
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:17,359
Speaker 2: three season. Those last three seasons all played with the

106
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 2: LA Chargers. Also played with the Rams earlier in his career.

107
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:26,360
Speaker 2: Fox has been a little bit of a position flex player,

108
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:29,160
Speaker 2: defensive tackle, defensive end, and they're looking for guys that

109
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,280
Speaker 2: can play more than one position as shorthanded as they

110
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 2: have been. Fox wearing jersey number seventy five. And in

111
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:39,479
Speaker 2: case you are wondering, McCole Hardman, who was signed to

112
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:44,599
Speaker 2: the practice squad Tuesday, is wearing jersey number sixteen, So

113
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:48,679
Speaker 2: you have been updated with Bill's practice notes.

114
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:52,599
Speaker 4: McDermott sat down to give us the update and it

115
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:53,600
Speaker 4: was like on and.

116
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 2: On, might as well have been saying as nice and

117
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 2: naughty list. He's reading the same book, Let's go around

118
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 2: the end. Though presented by Kalida Health, the official healthcare

119
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 2: system of the Buffalo Bills, and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers

120
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:08,840
Speaker 2: have been dealing with an injury riddled roster themselves. Their

121
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 2: problems have largely been on the offensive side of the ball,

122
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 2: but today, during a walkthrough practice, Tampa's top running back

123
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 2: Bucky Irving was taking handoffs from Baker Mayfield. Irving has

124
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 2: missed the last five games with the shoulder injury in

125
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 2: which his shoulders subluxed out of the socket, not an

126
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 2: easy injury, especially for a running back. Head coach Todd

127
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 2: Bowle said he'd have to see Irving in a full

128
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 2: scale practice before having an idea on whether or not

129
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 2: Irving has a chance to play this week against the Bills.

130
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 2: So we'll see how the week progresses for him because

131
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 2: today was just a walkthrough. Meanwhile, receiver Chris Godwin not

132
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 2: expected to play this week, and fellow receiver Mike Evans

133
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 2: remains on injured reserve, So we'll see what the Wednesday

134
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 2: injury report brings for the Bucks later this afternoon, as

135
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 2: we will the Bills.

136
00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 4: And last time. The last time the Bill's played these

137
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 4: guys was in twenty twenty three Week eight. Both Mike

138
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 4: Evans and Chris Godwin had a touchdown in that game,

139
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 4: and neither one of them is going to be in

140
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 4: this game. Although they got a mecha. Boka is going

141
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 4: to be, so he's the real deal, Yeah, he is.

142
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 2: The New York Giants interim head coach Mike Kafka has

143
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 2: named Jamis Winston his starting quarterback against the Packers on Sunday.

144
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 2: Starter Jackson dart As in concussion protocol as the Giants

145
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:32,080
Speaker 2: begin their practice week, seems unlikely to play anyway. We'll

146
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:33,560
Speaker 2: see if he can get back to a point where

147
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:35,959
Speaker 2: he could serve as the backup. But Winston the reason

148
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:39,439
Speaker 2: it's Newsworthy is he has jumped fellow veteran Russell Wilson

149
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 2: on the depth chart and he will start.

150
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 3: Kafka took over.

151
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 2: When Brian Dable was fired on Monday. Philadelphia Eagles cornerback

152
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 2: ji Eer Alexander has decided to step away from football

153
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 2: to focus on getting right physically and mentally amid his

154
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 2: ongoing recovery from off season knee surgery. The Eagles placed

155
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:04,080
Speaker 2: Alexander on the reserve retired list today and activated cornerback

156
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:10,200
Speaker 2: Chakryan Bennett from injured reserve. Alexander was acquired from the

157
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 2: Ravens along with a twenty twenty seven seventh round pick

158
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:15,960
Speaker 2: in exchange for a twenty twenty six sixth round pick

159
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 2: prior to the trade deadline last week. So the Eagles

160
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:22,719
Speaker 2: get him via trade and then he's there a week

161
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 2: and he's like, yeah, I'm good, I'm retiring. Yeah, Yeah,

162
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 2: that's stinks.

163
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 4: Well, if it's time, it's time, right.

164
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 2: But I'm saying, if you're the Eagles, that stinks.

165
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 3: You just traded for the guy. Now you don't get anything.

166
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 2: The banged of Pittsburgh Steelers secondary got a new addition,

167
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 2: Steelers signing cornerback of Sante Samuel Junior to the team's

168
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 2: practice squad today. Samuel underwent spinal fusion surgery back in April,

169
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:55,840
Speaker 2: delaying his signing as a free agent this spring. Samuel

170
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:59,560
Speaker 2: is joining the practice squad, but they're saying he could

171
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:02,560
Speaker 2: be up playing on a game day relatively soon as

172
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 2: a practice squad elevation because they have a number of

173
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 2: injuries in their secondary right now, so we'll see where

174
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 2: it goes. From what I understand, the reason the Steelers

175
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:15,320
Speaker 2: were comfortable signing this guy coming off spinal fusion surgery

176
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 2: is the doctor that operated on a Sante Samuel Junior

177
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:22,280
Speaker 2: actually works for the Steelers, so they have intimate knowledge

178
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:26,960
Speaker 2: of his surgery, how the repair went, how the rehabilitation went,

179
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 2: et cetera, et cetera. And finally, Jaguars rookie receiver slash

180
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:35,840
Speaker 2: cornerback Travis Hunter is going to miss the remainder of

181
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 2: the season after undergoing surgery on his knee Tuesday. He

182
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 2: had the LCL ligament repaired in Dallas with a couple

183
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:51,680
Speaker 2: of doctors, including the Jaguars head team physician. No additional

184
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:54,720
Speaker 2: damage to the knee. Hunter expected to return to full

185
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:57,440
Speaker 2: football activities in about six months.

186
00:10:57,840 --> 00:10:58,200
Speaker 4: Now.

187
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 2: That's the same injury, well not the same injury, but

188
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 2: the same ligament that Maxwell Harston injured. He did not

189
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:08,839
Speaker 2: tear his If he did, he would have been out

190
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 2: six months and undergone surgery.

191
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:12,960
Speaker 3: So the Bills really dodged a bullet.

192
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 7: There, that's right.

193
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:20,840
Speaker 4: The assante, I mean, the Travis Hunter thing. That's so

194
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 4: they didn't they give up a couple of ones for

195
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:24,319
Speaker 4: him to move up to get him.

196
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 3: I think they did it.

197
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 2: It was a trade trade to get up to number two,

198
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 2: I think right to pick.

199
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, and then you know, you remember to lose the

200
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 4: guy for six months halfway through the season, right after

201
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 4: a tough loss as well. Jaguars gave up a tough one,

202
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:41,840
Speaker 4: just like the Bills did this last weekend at you

203
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 4: know what, it isn't sad reality this league? Man, everybody's

204
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:50,080
Speaker 4: everywhere you turn about, all the national news media, they're

205
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:54,079
Speaker 4: all talking about the injury rate and the guys that

206
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 4: are getting hurt. You kind of forget about it in

207
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:58,480
Speaker 4: the offseason, don't you. It happens every year though, right,

208
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:00,600
Speaker 4: I mean this is no different and then any other

209
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 4: year really, except which teams are stricken more than others,

210
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:06,080
Speaker 4: Like the Bills this year on their defensive side have

211
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:09,440
Speaker 4: been hit. Yeah, they got hit last year. At maybe

212
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:13,040
Speaker 4: at the end of the year you just forget.

213
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:16,040
Speaker 3: And then you're reminded, and then you're pretty.

214
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 4: Quickly every single year you're reminded.

215
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 2: And I know Bills fans ask us all the time,

216
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:22,680
Speaker 2: like these injuries are so frustrating.

217
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 3: Is this just us?

218
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:25,520
Speaker 2: Or is this around the league? I said, it's around

219
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 2: the league. Yeah, it happens. I mean San Francisco they

220
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 2: were like a mass unit last year and it's a

221
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 2: big reason why they went ten and seven.

222
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:38,199
Speaker 3: They have anybody left to play. Yeah, it's just their

223
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:39,360
Speaker 3: season went in the toilet.

224
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 4: And then for the Jags, I mean they were they

225
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 4: started out. I remember they started out four and one

226
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:45,640
Speaker 4: and so they were like, all right, here we go.

227
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 4: Now they've lost three out of their last four and

228
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 4: there and that's after the bye.

229
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:57,720
Speaker 2: So it's yeah, yeah, uh so that's around the NFL.

230
00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 2: Presented by Kalida Healthy, official healthcare system of the Buffalo Bills.

231
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:06,360
Speaker 2: A topic of discussion for you today, what type of

232
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:10,959
Speaker 2: performance do you need to see from the Bills offense

233
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 2: Sunday against the Bucks. We all know people have been

234
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:18,600
Speaker 2: wringing their hands over how the offense has looked, let

235
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:23,719
Speaker 2: alone performed in the three losses this season. What kind

236
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 2: of performance do you need to see to maybe breathe

237
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:29,679
Speaker 2: a little bit easier about Buffalo's offense Sunday against the Bucks.

238
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:32,640
Speaker 2: What does it look like for you to breathe a

239
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:35,679
Speaker 2: sigh of relief that everything's going to be okay. This

240
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:38,960
Speaker 2: week's game against the Bucks incidentally presented by the University

241
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:42,079
Speaker 2: of Wyoming. You're ready for any field with the University

242
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:45,080
Speaker 2: of Wyoming, a proud partner of the Buffalo Bills.

243
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:47,480
Speaker 4: Thanks. You know that we're talking about the knee injuries

244
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:49,680
Speaker 4: and stuff and what the Jags gave up to get

245
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:51,680
Speaker 4: this guy that now they don't have. They gave up

246
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:55,080
Speaker 4: their twenty twenty five first round pick, which they used

247
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:57,679
Speaker 4: to like, to move up to two. That was the

248
00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:00,359
Speaker 4: number five overall pick, so they went from number five

249
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 4: up to number two. They also gave him their second

250
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 4: round pick this last year, and a fourth round pick

251
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:09,720
Speaker 4: this last year, and this upcoming draft's number one.

252
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 3: Pick, so they don't have a one.

253
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 4: They don't have a one or yeah, and they give

254
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:15,079
Speaker 4: up two other picks in that draft three other picks,

255
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:15,600
Speaker 4: Oh my.

256
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 2: Gosh, eighth three, five point fifty one, eight eight, five

257
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 2: fifty two, five fifty those the numbers to get on board.

258
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 2: What type of performance do you need to see from

259
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 2: the Bills offense Sunday against the Bucks to maybe.

260
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 3: Help you breathe a little bit easier for now.

261
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:33,360
Speaker 2: We are going to pivot though, to head coach Sean

262
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 2: McDermott to get some of his more notable comments that

263
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 2: he made an hour ago to the Buffalo media. We're

264
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 2: gonna give those to you right now.

265
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 8: Hey, Sean, looking at some of the metrics that are

266
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 8: at least available to us in the media, it looks

267
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 8: like your linebacker core has had some difficulties this year.

268
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 8: Could you maybe expound on what you're seeing from that

269
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 8: group and specifically maybe Bernard who seems to be having

270
00:14:58,800 --> 00:14:59,680
Speaker 8: a tough time so far.

271
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 5: It's true, but oh yeah, I mean it's overall, you know,

272
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 5: we can we can all do better in some ways.

273
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:07,200
Speaker 5: And you know, he does a great job leading our

274
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 5: defense with the communication and the operations style, and that's

275
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:14,320
Speaker 5: that's an important piece. But overall, you know, it's it's

276
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:18,840
Speaker 5: been at times for the whole group, I think, just

277
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:22,040
Speaker 5: working through some injuries, working through some of the continuity

278
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:24,280
Speaker 5: pieces when guys have been out. When you play next

279
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 5: to someone, you know, you want to be playing next

280
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:29,440
Speaker 5: to the person that you're playing next to that you

281
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:32,200
Speaker 5: worked with in practice and and that's been a challenge.

282
00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 5: But you know, beyond that you know, we can all

283
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:36,600
Speaker 5: do some things better and and TVs is very well

284
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:37,040
Speaker 5: aware of it.

285
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 9: You can hear us back to the long time ago

286
00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 9: twenty eighteen with Baker Mayfield and Josh Allen. We're part

287
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:47,320
Speaker 9: of that class. What do you make of what Baker

288
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 9: Mayfield has done for himself in what's been a bit

289
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 9: of a circuit winding career.

290
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:57,720
Speaker 5: Very impressed and and you know, I'm happy for him.

291
00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 5: He's a heck of a heck of a player. Uh.

292
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 5: You know, it was kind of hard to watch when

293
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:06,320
Speaker 5: you know the first you know, situation unfold the way

294
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:08,680
Speaker 5: it did, because you just have so much respect for

295
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:11,400
Speaker 5: him and his level of play and what he's capable of.

296
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:16,440
Speaker 5: And it's a it's a great to me example of

297
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 5: of And I'm not here, I don't know everything, but

298
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 5: just how the journey is the journey, and and when

299
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:27,960
Speaker 5: you stick with it and you know, you you kind

300
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 5: of get yourself in the right spot. And how he's

301
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:34,440
Speaker 5: played and his impact then I'm sure in terms of

302
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:37,240
Speaker 5: the example that he is to even beyond the even

303
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:40,560
Speaker 5: beyond the playing field right as a person. I hear

304
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 5: stories about his faith and super super impressed by that

305
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:47,360
Speaker 5: and that's what you want to see, right, that's what

306
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:48,960
Speaker 5: you want to hear, and that's that's good for our

307
00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 5: league and it's good for I'm sure the community down

308
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 5: there as well.

309
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 9: What makes him so impactful? I'm not trying to compare

310
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 9: him to that. I'm not sure if you can compare

311
00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 9: him to what Josh does. But what makes him so

312
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:01,360
Speaker 9: impactful versus what Josh does?

313
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 5: I guess, yeah, no, I don't. I don't want to

314
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 5: get into the comparisons. That's not fair to either of those.

315
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 5: Those guys both are great players. It's going to be

316
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 5: a heck of a heck of a game Sunday. And

317
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:14,640
Speaker 5: you know, you've got two good teams and two great quarterbacks.

318
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:18,719
Speaker 5: So you know, we have a ton of respect for

319
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 5: for their team, their coaching staff, Baker in this case,

320
00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:26,000
Speaker 5: and it's it's it's a tough deal. So we got

321
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:26,600
Speaker 5: to prepare here.

322
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:29,680
Speaker 9: Cole Hardman can bring it to your game.

323
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, excited about that. It's you know, you look at

324
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:36,199
Speaker 5: position flexibility he brings. He brings some of that, and

325
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:40,520
Speaker 5: you know the speed element is is real. Having gone

326
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:43,320
Speaker 5: against him, and so you know he hasn't played in

327
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:44,639
Speaker 5: a little bit of time here so we got to

328
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:47,480
Speaker 5: take it one day at a time, albeit, but I'm

329
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 5: really interested in seeing seeing how he's gonna help us.

330
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:52,960
Speaker 10: Competition you and Brandon all the time you have me,

331
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 10: Cole Now in the practice squad, you have gave, i know,

332
00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:58,680
Speaker 10: managing expectations. But is the hope that maybe those guys

333
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:00,399
Speaker 10: in the practice squad compare those in.

334
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:03,960
Speaker 11: The active roster, can kind of ignite each other to raise.

335
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 7: The group as a whole.

336
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:06,919
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean it's it's about, you know, again, just

337
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 5: as many guys as we can get that can help us.

338
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 5: And and uh, you know, iron sharpens iron, as it says, right,

339
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:16,679
Speaker 5: So one guy has one skill set, the other guy

340
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:19,200
Speaker 5: has another skill set, and we make it, piece it

341
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:22,640
Speaker 5: all together two week to week. Uh, you know, put

342
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:25,840
Speaker 5: a winning combination out there. And I think that's the

343
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,120
Speaker 5: that's the that's the vision at the end of the day, Right.

344
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:31,000
Speaker 8: I think Morgan box today, what do you think he brings?

345
00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:36,399
Speaker 5: Yeah, veteran player, excited to watch him today. It's been

346
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:38,200
Speaker 5: a little bit of time, you know, since he's played

347
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:40,800
Speaker 5: as well, So we got to take our time with that.

348
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:45,399
Speaker 5: But you know, position flexibility plays hard. But I'm interested

349
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:48,320
Speaker 5: in watching him today as well yesterday.

350
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:50,760
Speaker 12: I think on the tryout, what what's he been up

351
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:53,920
Speaker 12: to over the last couple of months since he loved Atlanta.

352
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:57,840
Speaker 5: That's that's a question for him. I mean I haven't

353
00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:01,960
Speaker 5: really been, Uh I don't, I don't, wouldn't wouldn't know

354
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:03,639
Speaker 5: enough to be able to comment on that.

355
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 13: So see the I guess the cast kind of impact

356
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:08,800
Speaker 13: Joey in that game in Miami.

357
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 7: What did what did you say about him that you fought?

358
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:11,119
Speaker 11: Oh?

359
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:13,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean when you go out there and you

360
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 5: have as I mentioned that we call the Q tip

361
00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:20,880
Speaker 5: you basically you're playing with you know, one full arm

362
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:22,959
Speaker 5: in hand and then the other is just your arm.

363
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:27,359
Speaker 5: So uh, but the way he battled through it, I

364
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:30,920
Speaker 5: mean making tackles when you is hard enough in the league,

365
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:32,920
Speaker 5: let alone, when you have really only one use of

366
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:37,240
Speaker 5: you know, one hands fingers. So he's playing with five,

367
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:40,560
Speaker 5: you know, most people play with ten. Give her a

368
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:45,120
Speaker 5: take or Ryan a lot, you know, so it's hard.

369
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 5: I mean playing defense. To be a good at defense,

370
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:48,639
Speaker 5: you got use your hands right, So it's I was

371
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:53,880
Speaker 5: very uh impressed. I really appreciate his grit, his toughness,

372
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:56,200
Speaker 5: and he was battling out there.

373
00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:56,760
Speaker 4: He really was.

374
00:19:56,880 --> 00:20:02,080
Speaker 5: So you know, the Q tip is not easy to

375
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:04,760
Speaker 5: function with as a as a defensive player in particular,

376
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 5: What do you make.

377
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:08,560
Speaker 10: Of the defensive line in general, just how they're navigating

378
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:10,840
Speaker 10: all these injuries, what they're still able to do, or

379
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:12,720
Speaker 10: what you're producting they can do this Sunday.

380
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, well we'll see what they can do, you know,

381
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 5: Tj'll we'll see how he looks today and things. And

382
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:21,719
Speaker 5: you know, they they it's the next man up, right,

383
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 5: they continue to battle. And you know last week we

384
00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:31,720
Speaker 5: lose aj And and Michael before that, but Javon Solomon

385
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:34,240
Speaker 5: steps in and does a phenomenal job in his role

386
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:37,800
Speaker 5: and we're out there in two minutes and he had

387
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:40,760
Speaker 5: a sub in a detackle for us, and you know,

388
00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:43,640
Speaker 5: he did a great job. I mean, you know, they

389
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:47,119
Speaker 5: tried to change the style of offense they were running

390
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 5: when they were in two minutes before the half, and

391
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 5: he made as a heck of a job playing defensive

392
00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:56,040
Speaker 5: tackle and a two point stance albeit. So it's I

393
00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:59,360
Speaker 5: really appreciate those guys. I mean, that's where that's where

394
00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:01,640
Speaker 5: it starts. Know, upfront, as I've always said, my dad

395
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:04,399
Speaker 5: was a D line coach. So I remember years and

396
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:07,680
Speaker 5: years of him, you know, with his players, and that's

397
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 5: that's the that's the the blood, sweat and tears of

398
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:13,480
Speaker 5: the of the defense right there, that's where it starts

399
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:15,919
Speaker 5: right there. So it's it's something that's near and dear

400
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:16,920
Speaker 5: to my heart much.

401
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:20,240
Speaker 10: You have guys been practicing the position flexibility leading like

402
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 10: before these injuries? Was that always a part of practice

403
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 10: or is that a necessity now?

404
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 6: Uh?

405
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:28,600
Speaker 5: We try and you know, and in dabbling that from

406
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:30,399
Speaker 5: time to time if there is a vision for a

407
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:33,359
Speaker 5: player to do both. When you're in a situation like

408
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 5: we got into last week, you know, we we try

409
00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:39,680
Speaker 5: and hey, contingency plan if this player goes down during

410
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:41,439
Speaker 5: the game, where we go on, how are we going

411
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:44,560
Speaker 5: to handle it? And we knew that that was one

412
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:47,200
Speaker 5: of the you know, conversations we had going into last

413
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:49,399
Speaker 5: week's game of hey, if we lose an end, who's

414
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:51,760
Speaker 5: going outside? Who's going to kick out? And then and

415
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:54,240
Speaker 5: DQ had had to do it, of course, so I

416
00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:58,639
Speaker 5: appreciate that as well. And DQ didn't didn't blink and

417
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:01,959
Speaker 5: you know, went at full speed. So uh, and that's

418
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:03,800
Speaker 5: where some of the guys who have the position of

419
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:08,520
Speaker 5: flexibility can help us and and and that's important especially

420
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:10,399
Speaker 5: as you go through the course of the season.

421
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:13,600
Speaker 9: Or are you to see this team respot from I

422
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:14,440
Speaker 9: guess a clunker.

423
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, I'm anxious to get us, get us out

424
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:18,920
Speaker 5: here on the practice field and see how we do today.

425
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:21,480
Speaker 5: It's really about our day to day and and you

426
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 5: know how we how we approach and attack today. So

427
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:27,520
Speaker 5: it's Wednesday for us, and I'm looking forward to the energy.

428
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:32,159
Speaker 5: I'm looking forward to seeing us establish that collective mindset

429
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 5: as we go into this week. Is back first day today,

430
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:41,359
Speaker 5: which is a blessing. And it's it's great to have

431
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:44,480
Speaker 5: him back. And like I said before, he's you know,

432
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:48,280
Speaker 5: healing and uh, and I should give a shout out

433
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:51,760
Speaker 5: to Alyssa Lee, one of our assistant trainers who stayed

434
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:53,760
Speaker 5: with him, cared for him.

435
00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:56,320
Speaker 14: And uh.

436
00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:59,919
Speaker 5: I think it's a great to me example of uh,

437
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:02,919
Speaker 5: you know, being there for one another. And and Alyssa

438
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:05,359
Speaker 5: was great and helping him get back up here and

439
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:08,320
Speaker 5: and so I'm very grateful for her.

440
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:09,800
Speaker 7: You've been brought me.

441
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:11,640
Speaker 8: It was starting to get better there for a couple

442
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:13,800
Speaker 8: of games, but the tackling was an issue.

443
00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:14,080
Speaker 9: Again.

444
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:17,840
Speaker 8: You've been frustrated by the inconsistencies that you guys have

445
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:18,439
Speaker 8: had this year.

446
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:21,800
Speaker 5: Uh you know what, So it's let you know, I

447
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:25,880
Speaker 5: never like bad tackling, don't get me wrong. Last week

448
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:27,159
Speaker 5: it was we knew going in it was going to

449
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:30,440
Speaker 5: be a challenge a Shane is elite, one of the

450
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:34,480
Speaker 5: tops and making people miss so but that said, we

451
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:36,879
Speaker 5: were in position to make tackles and we didn't get

452
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:39,080
Speaker 5: and we didn't make it. So going back, you know,

453
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:41,160
Speaker 5: going back to the drawing board this week, and it's

454
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:43,879
Speaker 5: not it's something that if you don't work it, you know,

455
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:47,120
Speaker 5: you can't expect to get it fundamentally. So every week

456
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:49,760
Speaker 5: we work it. Every week it's it's on the to

457
00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:52,159
Speaker 5: do list and it'll continue through the rest of the season.

458
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:55,400
Speaker 5: Play last year, you really had an identity of love

459
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:59,000
Speaker 5: that's to be you know, do you still feel that's

460
00:23:59,119 --> 00:23:59,560
Speaker 5: the case Now?

461
00:23:59,600 --> 00:23:59,879
Speaker 13: Where's that?

462
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:02,840
Speaker 5: Like an ever evolving thing has to be even I

463
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 5: think we're finding ourselves a little bit again. The mention

464
00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:08,480
Speaker 5: of different wide receivers in there and this and that,

465
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:12,120
Speaker 5: and some guys outdud injuries, some not, and it's it's

466
00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:14,680
Speaker 5: and that's a that's it's not what you want, But

467
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:16,919
Speaker 5: it's okay. We just we got to continue to find

468
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:20,560
Speaker 5: our best combinations if that makes sense, Mike right with

469
00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:22,680
Speaker 5: who gives us the best chance to win?

470
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:25,960
Speaker 4: And you know, where can we find the rhythm?

471
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:26,600
Speaker 14: Uh?

472
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:30,560
Speaker 5: In the passing game and whatnot. But overall, you know,

473
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:32,680
Speaker 5: we've we've had it at times and then other times

474
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:34,560
Speaker 5: you know it hasn't been there, So we gotta we

475
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:37,000
Speaker 5: got to find that again and and then stay with it.

476
00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:39,520
Speaker 5: But through the course of a season, you're always making

477
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:44,160
Speaker 5: adjustments and tweaking things so that you say, hey, who

478
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:45,760
Speaker 5: are the right people that we that we want on

479
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:50,600
Speaker 5: the field in this situation and or another situation you're ready.

480
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:52,160
Speaker 7: For being take you over a couple of times.

481
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:56,320
Speaker 12: But how have you seen him prepare for him or

482
00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:59,359
Speaker 12: speak the game landing for him over the arc of

483
00:24:59,520 --> 00:24:59,920
Speaker 12: his career?

484
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:01,439
Speaker 7: Is that how much has that change?

485
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:03,040
Speaker 3: Well?

486
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:08,359
Speaker 5: Naturally, you know, Tim, when you're with different systems, it changes. Uh,

487
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:14,720
Speaker 5: that's the That's the obvious piece. Baker overall has always

488
00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:20,480
Speaker 5: had a certain skill set, so you're always having to

489
00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:23,000
Speaker 5: prepare for that, no matter if it was you know

490
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:25,040
Speaker 5: when back when he was in Cleveland or or now

491
00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:28,960
Speaker 5: in Tampa. So and that that skill set that he

492
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:32,520
Speaker 5: brings to the table is elite mental attitude.

493
00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:35,960
Speaker 12: I can't think of that work. That attitude and what's work,

494
00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:39,320
Speaker 12: I think we agree on what the meaning of that is.

495
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:44,879
Speaker 12: Wherever a pusive is preparing for a quarterbacks attitude.

496
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:45,159
Speaker 10: What is that like?

497
00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:47,639
Speaker 7: Because some you do and something you deal him with,

498
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:48,159
Speaker 7: this guy you.

499
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:49,240
Speaker 4: Do, he's got it.

500
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:52,359
Speaker 5: Yep, he's got it, and we've got to bring that

501
00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:54,640
Speaker 5: if you want to, if you want to beat him,

502
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:57,880
Speaker 5: you got you got to bring that. But even aside

503
00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:03,280
Speaker 5: from you know, playing Baker, it's it's an every week thing.

504
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:05,920
Speaker 5: You want to be good at something, you got to

505
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:07,760
Speaker 5: bring a certain attitude and a certain passion and a

506
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:11,680
Speaker 5: certain commitment to the table. Whether you're a football coach,

507
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 5: a football team, or you know, any walk of life,

508
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:19,000
Speaker 5: whatever job you're doing, you no different for you guys.

509
00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:20,359
Speaker 5: I'm sure you got to bring a certain level of

510
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:21,560
Speaker 5: passion to the job.

511
00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:24,439
Speaker 9: All right.

512
00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:27,239
Speaker 2: That's head coach Jean McDermott addressing the media about an

513
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:30,359
Speaker 2: hour ago. We are up against the break, so we

514
00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:32,760
Speaker 2: will step aside here, but when we come back, we'll

515
00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:34,439
Speaker 2: take your phone call. So if you're holding an eight

516
00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:37,160
Speaker 2: h three oh five fifty one, eighty eight, five fifty two,

517
00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:39,680
Speaker 2: five fifty We will get to you when we get

518
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:42,000
Speaker 2: back here. On a Wednesday edition of One Bill's Live,

519
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:44,360
Speaker 2: presented by Coil out of Health, It's Buffalo Bills Radio.

520
00:26:57,400 --> 00:26:59,200
Speaker 3: From the Coach's Office.

521
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:02,879
Speaker 2: Is presented by e FBT Copy or Facts Business Technology,

522
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:07,159
Speaker 2: the official office technology company of the Buffalo Bills and

523
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:11,439
Speaker 2: see For the coaches, it continues to be a battle

524
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:17,920
Speaker 2: of preparing a game plan with a personnel grouping that

525
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:21,480
Speaker 2: looks more like musical chairs. How big a challenge is

526
00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:25,000
Speaker 2: that for coaches when they're trying to get a game

527
00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:28,480
Speaker 2: plan together and they've got new blood on the roster

528
00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:30,439
Speaker 2: to insert into the lineup.

529
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:36,879
Speaker 4: Well, that's part of the reason why coaches in this

530
00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:39,240
Speaker 4: first month and a half of the season is always like,

531
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:40,920
Speaker 4: we got to find out who we are, what we're

532
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:43,280
Speaker 4: good at. It's hard to do that in the preseason.

533
00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:45,640
Speaker 4: We kind of get a feel for the guys individually.

534
00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:48,639
Speaker 4: During the preseason, we got to find out who are

535
00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:50,359
Speaker 4: not knowing who these guys like?

536
00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:50,440
Speaker 11: It?

537
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:52,480
Speaker 4: Like, for instance, if TJ. Sanders gets out of there,

538
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:54,560
Speaker 4: what do they know about that guy? You know, what's

539
00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:57,000
Speaker 4: he going to be like? Out there in a game

540
00:27:57,080 --> 00:27:58,200
Speaker 4: for the first time, or if.

541
00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:01,879
Speaker 3: They have to use Nicole Hardman on return, So how.

542
00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:03,080
Speaker 4: Are they going to how are they gonna put in

543
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:05,399
Speaker 4: what is the game plan going to emphasize that they

544
00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:07,919
Speaker 4: put in not knowing what those guys are good at

545
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:11,800
Speaker 4: or what more importantly, what they stink at. If anything,

546
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:14,600
Speaker 4: that's the problem with the game plan, and it is

547
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:18,080
Speaker 4: a problem. You can put in all the stuff that

548
00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:22,480
Speaker 4: you want to do, but until you get to a

549
00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:26,080
Speaker 4: point where you say, okay, we can always do this

550
00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:28,399
Speaker 4: against anybody, you know, there's you know, you get to

551
00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:31,040
Speaker 4: that point where you say, our our offensive, our defensive

552
00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:34,440
Speaker 4: game plan always is going to include this because we're

553
00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:36,720
Speaker 4: good at it and people really struggle with it. So

554
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:39,760
Speaker 4: if we're going to run this anyway kind of thing,

555
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:44,000
Speaker 4: we're gonna run a lot of this defense because we've

556
00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:47,720
Speaker 4: got these guys that can really make it work. Those

557
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:51,000
Speaker 4: kind of thought processes are kind of out the window

558
00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:53,080
Speaker 4: because you don't know if you can still do the

559
00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:54,840
Speaker 4: stuff you were good at like three weeks ago.

560
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:57,200
Speaker 2: It always comes back to the number one thing coaches

561
00:28:57,240 --> 00:28:59,960
Speaker 2: want is to be able to trust the players that

562
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:02,120
Speaker 2: they put on the field, and with such a short

563
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:06,040
Speaker 2: period of time with new players coming in the door

564
00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:08,480
Speaker 2: who you almost have to thrust out on the field

565
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:11,719
Speaker 2: just due to lack of numbers instead of giving them

566
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:15,720
Speaker 2: some on ramp time to get acclimated up to speed.

567
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:20,920
Speaker 2: In some cases you don't have that luxury. Sometimes you

568
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:23,760
Speaker 2: may have to reduce the menu a little bit to

569
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:25,840
Speaker 2: make sure that they can handle at least what you

570
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:28,280
Speaker 2: give them. But there's some crash courses going on right

571
00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:31,240
Speaker 2: now with the likes of Morgan Fox and Mkole Hardman

572
00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:34,920
Speaker 2: some of the latest new additions to the rosters. So

573
00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:39,239
Speaker 2: that's from the Coach's Office, presented by CfBT. Let's get

574
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:41,880
Speaker 2: to the phones at eight three five point fifty one

575
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:44,360
Speaker 2: eighty eight five point fifty two five fifty what type

576
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:46,520
Speaker 2: of performance you need to see from the Bills offense

577
00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:49,760
Speaker 2: Sunday against the Bucks to maybe breathe a little bit

578
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:52,000
Speaker 2: easier and get your heart out of your throat as

579
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:55,240
Speaker 2: a Bills fan, Eight three oh five fifty the number

580
00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:57,120
Speaker 2: to jump on board. But let's lead off with Cindy

581
00:29:57,160 --> 00:29:57,960
Speaker 2: and Niagara Falls.

582
00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:02,200
Speaker 15: What's up, Cindy, Steve, Hi, Chris, thanks for taking my call.

583
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 15: I've been trying to call in for three days and

584
00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:10,080
Speaker 15: it's been a wild but anyway, first of all, I

585
00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:12,800
Speaker 15: want to say we love the Bills no matter what.

586
00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:17,680
Speaker 15: My garage is adorned with all kinds of Bill stuff,

587
00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:21,280
Speaker 15: my living room, you know what I mean. So there

588
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:25,560
Speaker 15: is no way I'm tired of these fair weather fans

589
00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:31,880
Speaker 15: that keep like trashing the Bills, trashing the coaching staff,

590
00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:37,560
Speaker 15: you know what I You know, Josh McDermott has not

591
00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:42,720
Speaker 15: been himself in three to four weeks, and when Josh

592
00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:48,840
Speaker 15: isn't himself, you know the rest of the team doesn't

593
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:57,360
Speaker 15: go forward and be themselves. And you know, and how

594
00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:02,960
Speaker 15: unexpectedly he committed suicide. We have no idea what Josh

595
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:07,800
Speaker 15: is going through. So, you know what, take a break

596
00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:13,280
Speaker 15: and stop making excuses and see what's going on with him,

597
00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:17,000
Speaker 15: and hopefully that will come through.

598
00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:20,800
Speaker 4: All right, Okay, thanks Sydney, that's fair.

599
00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:24,360
Speaker 3: Thanks Cindy. Yeah, we don't know.

600
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:27,400
Speaker 2: We heard Josh after the game said he's got to

601
00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:29,760
Speaker 2: be better. I think a lot of times he shields

602
00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:31,920
Speaker 2: a lot of other players from criticism by putting it

603
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:35,720
Speaker 2: on himself because it's not a one person thing that

604
00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:40,560
Speaker 2: has plagued this team in their three losses this season, and.

605
00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:43,520
Speaker 3: I think we all know that, so I expect he'll

606
00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:45,840
Speaker 3: be better. I think a lot of the players on

607
00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:46,520
Speaker 3: this roster.

608
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:49,040
Speaker 2: Are committed to doing better and being better on the

609
00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:52,120
Speaker 2: field this coming Sunday against the Bucks because they know

610
00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:56,160
Speaker 2: what's at stake. They know the opportunities they've squandered. Let's

611
00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:58,080
Speaker 2: hope they don't squander anymore going forward.

612
00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:01,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, this is also that. I mean, we're talking about

613
00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:06,000
Speaker 4: the Bills and it's a tough atmosphere right now because

614
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:08,360
Speaker 4: they were such high. They're always as high expectations with

615
00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:12,560
Speaker 4: Josh as your quarterback. But I think back two weeks three,

616
00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:15,480
Speaker 4: two games where they're coming off the by and they

617
00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:22,040
Speaker 4: go to Carolina, they win forty to nine, and I

618
00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:26,800
Speaker 4: got to be on our show. People were hot about

619
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:30,160
Speaker 4: what was wrong with this team. They won forty to

620
00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:35,280
Speaker 4: nine after the bye and people were not happy. It's

621
00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:38,840
Speaker 4: a tough atmosphere to thrive in, right So these guys

622
00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:41,000
Speaker 4: are they kind of insulate themselves up. They all have

623
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:45,000
Speaker 4: support staffs that the Bills have a mental health staff here.

624
00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:47,920
Speaker 4: All of that's going on. But you know, you got

625
00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:49,680
Speaker 4: you're right. You got to think about what it's like

626
00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:52,240
Speaker 4: to be you know, Josh or James Cook or these

627
00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:57,640
Speaker 4: guys in this environment right now when they beat the

628
00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:01,920
Speaker 4: Chiefs after winning forty denying over the Carolina Panthers, and

629
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:06,160
Speaker 4: ain't nobody happy. Even the Chiefs win was like, Okay, well,

630
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:08,800
Speaker 4: well we beat them. We've done that before. Though, yeah,

631
00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:11,920
Speaker 4: we've done that before in the regular season. We're not

632
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:14,840
Speaker 4: all that happy, you know. It's yeah, it doesn't prove anything.

633
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:16,960
Speaker 4: It's a tough environment to live.

634
00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:21,040
Speaker 3: In, which is why they usually avoid it. Uh, let's

635
00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:23,520
Speaker 3: go to Gary on a sale next. What's up Gary?

636
00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:25,800
Speaker 7: Hey, guys, how y'all doing good?

637
00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:26,160
Speaker 4: And good?

638
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:28,200
Speaker 16: That was a rough one.

639
00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:31,720
Speaker 4: Huh, there's a stinker bad.

640
00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:38,080
Speaker 16: I can't believe it. But when you start subbing receivers Coleman,

641
00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:41,480
Speaker 16: I think you leave the snap count and receivers. That's

642
00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:45,800
Speaker 16: gotta gotta stop. What do these separators we start bringing

643
00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:48,480
Speaker 16: other players out seed more in a Coleman or not

644
00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:51,479
Speaker 16: Holman the other one the best you repaid a lot

645
00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:55,920
Speaker 16: months of last year something because not giving them him

646
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:57,440
Speaker 16: quick answers and you can see.

647
00:33:57,400 --> 00:33:57,840
Speaker 4: Pulling the ball.

648
00:33:57,920 --> 00:33:59,160
Speaker 16: You have to make him miracle plays.

649
00:33:59,280 --> 00:33:59,480
Speaker 4: Yep.

650
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:02,560
Speaker 16: Were you solving to get most in that field? Or

651
00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:03,520
Speaker 16: if mess?

652
00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:05,040
Speaker 4: Yeah?

653
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:07,880
Speaker 2: And Hopefully, you know, Palmer returns to the lineup this

654
00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:12,080
Speaker 2: week and assists with that Gary because he is one

655
00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:14,560
Speaker 2: of the guys who is a precise route runner, does

656
00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:19,600
Speaker 2: get separations, so hopefully he can help, and ideally he

657
00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:24,840
Speaker 2: stretches the field beyond this twenty five yard box that

658
00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:27,879
Speaker 2: Buffalo's offense seems to operate in unless Josh is running

659
00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:31,200
Speaker 2: around and making a hero play. Because since Palmer's been

660
00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:32,919
Speaker 2: out of the lineup, I think It's been even more

661
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:36,880
Speaker 2: pronounced that we see the Bills passing game essentially operate

662
00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:40,040
Speaker 2: from the line of scrimmage to about twenty to twenty

663
00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:42,640
Speaker 2: five yards downfield. They use the full width of the field,

664
00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:47,239
Speaker 2: but anything over twenty yards is not happening through the

665
00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:52,839
Speaker 2: air at all, and that allows a defense to cover

666
00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:56,720
Speaker 2: far less ground because there's no threat to cover anything

667
00:34:56,760 --> 00:34:59,759
Speaker 2: over their head. I think it's made it easier to

668
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:03,279
Speaker 2: defend the Bills that way. So hopefully adding Palmer back

669
00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:06,720
Speaker 2: to the lineup can can bring that and I'm hoping

670
00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:10,920
Speaker 2: that maybe we see a little bit of Keon Coleman

671
00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:13,239
Speaker 2: in the slot in the absence of Dalton Kin Kate.

672
00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:17,120
Speaker 2: You have Palmer back, you can line him up outside

673
00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:21,480
Speaker 2: and maybe you can try Coleman in the slot a

674
00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:24,000
Speaker 2: little bit or motion him pre snap. We saw a

675
00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:26,200
Speaker 2: little bit of that last week, but there's only two

676
00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:26,920
Speaker 2: or three snaps.

677
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:29,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, and you're right, I mean, when you see a

678
00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:31,560
Speaker 4: guy out there all the time like Coleman has been,

679
00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:35,120
Speaker 4: he's been leading the wide receiver room and snap percentage

680
00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:37,960
Speaker 4: all year. And when you see him out there all

681
00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:41,279
Speaker 4: the time and you don't see numbers that reflect that

682
00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:48,719
Speaker 4: many snaps meaning targets, catches, yards, touchdowns, you know you're wondering, like,

683
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:50,480
Speaker 4: what are we doing? I mean, why is he out there?

684
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:52,200
Speaker 4: Why does he stay out there? And I get that

685
00:35:52,360 --> 00:36:00,160
Speaker 4: logic as well, and we'll see if that changes. But

686
00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:06,080
Speaker 4: it's been my experience. If they feel like there's a

687
00:36:06,120 --> 00:36:08,880
Speaker 4: better way to go, they would already be there. And

688
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:11,160
Speaker 4: maybe that's as big an indictment on where they're at

689
00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:14,120
Speaker 4: as anything, the fact that they are kind of keeping

690
00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:16,480
Speaker 4: on keeping on now. Certainly they I mean they were

691
00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:20,040
Speaker 4: up until the last game they were scoring points. They've

692
00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:22,880
Speaker 4: been still points the number one offense and their number two,

693
00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:29,040
Speaker 4: So there's no sense of urgency to change philosophies or

694
00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:32,640
Speaker 4: opinions about the guys or whatever. Whatever, there's probably a

695
00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:37,280
Speaker 4: bigger mindset of, man, let's just get our guys healthy

696
00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:39,440
Speaker 4: and we're going to be fine. We've got some stuff

697
00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:41,640
Speaker 4: we can go to that can win in a different

698
00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:44,920
Speaker 4: in different ways, and that's what we saw last week.

699
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:47,080
Speaker 4: They took away the run game last week, and and

700
00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:52,719
Speaker 4: the Bills had no answers, which is alarming. But I

701
00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:55,759
Speaker 4: think they feel they've got answers if they've got healthy people.

702
00:36:56,880 --> 00:36:58,960
Speaker 3: But they still don't have healthy people. But they got

703
00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:01,040
Speaker 3: to come up with different answers. That's which is my point.

704
00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:04,000
Speaker 3: Mark in Hershey, what's up? Mark?

705
00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:09,120
Speaker 11: Hey Brownie, Hey Steve, thanks for taking my call. I

706
00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:12,200
Speaker 11: would love to see a little more urgency on offense.

707
00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:13,840
Speaker 11: I know you guys have just alluded to they're not

708
00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:18,480
Speaker 11: going to change philosophically through week eleven. But just a

709
00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:20,600
Speaker 11: couple of quick stats for you. So their second in

710
00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:23,040
Speaker 11: time of possession this year at thirty three minutes and

711
00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:26,520
Speaker 11: twelve seconds, which is actually about three minutes more than

712
00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:29,960
Speaker 11: last year. They're also thirteenth in total plays run on

713
00:37:30,040 --> 00:37:33,680
Speaker 11: offense sixty three plays per game, which is about three

714
00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:36,759
Speaker 11: more than last year as well. So I would like

715
00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:38,960
Speaker 11: to see a little more urgency just going back to

716
00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:42,120
Speaker 11: the Miami game, I mean that third quarter driven before

717
00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:45,600
Speaker 11: the end zone interception took up eight minutes, and yet

718
00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:47,560
Speaker 11: it was sixteen. I guess you can say it's a

719
00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:50,440
Speaker 11: two score game, but it doesn't seem like they get

720
00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:53,120
Speaker 11: on the ball quick enough, especially when James Cook is

721
00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:54,680
Speaker 11: taken out of the game, because in all three of

722
00:37:54,719 --> 00:37:57,719
Speaker 11: their losses, James Cook has been held in check. So

723
00:37:57,920 --> 00:37:59,920
Speaker 11: what I would like to see is a little more

724
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:03,520
Speaker 11: balance on offense and a little more urgency. I understand,

725
00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:06,239
Speaker 11: like you had said, the stats before last week, they

726
00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:10,320
Speaker 11: were the number one total offense. Now I think their second. However,

727
00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:13,120
Speaker 11: when you get to the playoffs and in January, I

728
00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:15,240
Speaker 11: mean the defenses they're going to have to face New England,

729
00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:19,719
Speaker 11: Kansas City, Baltimore can they're all pretty stout against the run.

730
00:38:19,760 --> 00:38:21,480
Speaker 11: I know we had success against Kansas City in the

731
00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:25,239
Speaker 11: regular season, but I'm sure they'll have answers come January time.

732
00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:28,320
Speaker 11: And not for nothing, the Bills are already what a

733
00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:30,520
Speaker 11: game and a half behind the Patriots right now, and

734
00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:33,439
Speaker 11: the Patriots schedule is pretty easy going down the line.

735
00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:37,200
Speaker 11: So and with this regime in this quarterback hasn't won

736
00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:41,200
Speaker 11: a road playoff game. Yet in their tenure, I think

737
00:38:41,239 --> 00:38:42,880
Speaker 11: things are going to get a little harder if they

738
00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:47,120
Speaker 11: don't find answers outside the numbers on offense. But I

739
00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:49,399
Speaker 11: would just like to see a little more urgency under

740
00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:52,080
Speaker 11: I like the time of possession. The defense is built

741
00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:54,239
Speaker 11: to stop the pass, but when the offense isn't as

742
00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:56,720
Speaker 11: efficient and the games are still close or they're losing,

743
00:38:57,800 --> 00:38:59,200
Speaker 11: it's not a good recipe for success.

744
00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:02,920
Speaker 4: Thanks Mark, You're right. Their recipe is that you know,

745
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:05,759
Speaker 4: the time of possession, run the football, shorten the game,

746
00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:09,320
Speaker 4: be high efficiently, high efficiency scoring on offense, and that

747
00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:11,880
Speaker 4: just puts too much pressure on the other team to

748
00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:13,759
Speaker 4: put the ball at risk trying to keep up with

749
00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:16,000
Speaker 4: Josh on the scoreboard in less time to do it

750
00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:18,040
Speaker 4: at the time of possesson. It's a great recipe, but

751
00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:21,799
Speaker 4: if some element is missing, it seems fragile. I mean,

752
00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:26,560
Speaker 4: it's hard to overcome a missing piece to that equation, right,

753
00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:29,240
Speaker 4: And that's what we've all seen, and the sense of urgency,

754
00:39:29,239 --> 00:39:34,320
Speaker 4: And I get what you mean. I saw them in

755
00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:36,960
Speaker 4: the Miami game in the second half, go with a

756
00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:39,360
Speaker 4: little bit of pace. I know that you're saying you

757
00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:42,160
Speaker 4: wanted to snap the ball. They went a little bit

758
00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:46,080
Speaker 4: faster in the second half, and I thought it looked good.

759
00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:51,200
Speaker 4: Not for nothing. I was in a room yesterday with

760
00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:54,200
Speaker 4: Thurman and Jim. We're talking about the K gun with

761
00:39:56,040 --> 00:39:59,520
Speaker 4: Chris Berman actually, who was in town, and so we

762
00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:04,120
Speaker 4: started reminiscing about how that offense was effective and one

763
00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:07,440
Speaker 4: of the problems with running it like today as opposed

764
00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:10,920
Speaker 4: to back then. Back then you had Jim Kelly Thurman,

765
00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:15,040
Speaker 4: Thomas Andre Reid, and James Lofton on the field running

766
00:40:15,080 --> 00:40:18,520
Speaker 4: that offense. And just for those of you who don't know,

767
00:40:18,719 --> 00:40:20,920
Speaker 4: all four of those guys are Hall of Fame football players.

768
00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:25,800
Speaker 4: So you could come up with just about any offensive

769
00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:28,200
Speaker 4: philosophy and have those four guys running it, you're gonna

770
00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:31,360
Speaker 4: be pretty good. But I will say this, it was

771
00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:34,600
Speaker 4: a lot. You forget how well people still talk about

772
00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:37,480
Speaker 4: it because it was such a blast to watch and

773
00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:40,480
Speaker 4: as such a blast to be run on and running.

774
00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:43,759
Speaker 4: It was just a hoot from start to finish. So

775
00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:45,480
Speaker 4: people want to see it come back. And when you

776
00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:49,000
Speaker 4: see him, go see Josh Allen and his crew go

777
00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:52,000
Speaker 4: fast during the second half that other game last week,

778
00:40:52,040 --> 00:40:55,160
Speaker 4: and it's Miami and it looks kind of cool, and

779
00:40:55,239 --> 00:40:58,040
Speaker 4: they get some progress with it, and they get some

780
00:40:58,200 --> 00:40:59,960
Speaker 4: traction really kind of for the first time in the game.

781
00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:06,279
Speaker 4: You think, Okay, more of that, and I'm i gotta say,

782
00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:09,080
Speaker 4: I'm here for it. And you've never heard me say

783
00:41:09,160 --> 00:41:11,239
Speaker 4: this before, Like, I think you should run it. Listen,

784
00:41:11,320 --> 00:41:13,520
Speaker 4: give it a shot. If you're in a stagnant spot

785
00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:15,160
Speaker 4: in your offense, and if you're up against it and

786
00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:18,360
Speaker 4: they're stopping the run, keep those defensive linemen on the

787
00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:23,320
Speaker 4: field and run them fast. They'll lose some starts really quickly.

788
00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:26,640
Speaker 4: That was one of the beauty things about that no huddle.

789
00:41:26,680 --> 00:41:29,439
Speaker 4: And when you go fast paced offense, if they don't

790
00:41:29,560 --> 00:41:34,200
Speaker 4: substitute like the Bills do, you can't rotate your defensive

791
00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:41,560
Speaker 4: line through and they got to go on first, second, third, first, second, first, second, third, first.

792
00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:44,920
Speaker 4: They're on every play and they are done, and that's

793
00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:47,560
Speaker 4: when your running game comes back and you can start

794
00:41:47,640 --> 00:41:51,719
Speaker 4: handing it off because they are done. So I'm here

795
00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:53,800
Speaker 4: for that a little bit. I saw that pace in

796
00:41:53,840 --> 00:41:55,600
Speaker 4: the second half of that Miami game and I'm like, well,

797
00:41:55,600 --> 00:41:58,400
Speaker 4: you know, more of that, please, because that gives them

798
00:41:58,440 --> 00:42:00,080
Speaker 4: some traction in times when it's rough.

799
00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:02,880
Speaker 2: Well or when the passing game looks disjointed or the

800
00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:05,080
Speaker 2: offense is not in a rhythm, sometimes that can kick

801
00:42:05,120 --> 00:42:07,880
Speaker 2: start an offense into a rhythm. The only thing to

802
00:42:08,239 --> 00:42:11,000
Speaker 2: concern yourself with on that is you have an injury

803
00:42:11,080 --> 00:42:14,160
Speaker 2: riddle defense, and if you don't kick it into rhythm

804
00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:16,800
Speaker 2: going that fast, your defense is right back out on

805
00:42:16,880 --> 00:42:19,160
Speaker 2: the field. And if they're as shorthanded as they are

806
00:42:19,239 --> 00:42:22,000
Speaker 2: and continue to be, you might be putting undue stress

807
00:42:22,080 --> 00:42:24,080
Speaker 2: on them. So it's kind of a fine line to

808
00:42:24,200 --> 00:42:26,120
Speaker 2: walk there, But we'll see if they try it. They

809
00:42:26,200 --> 00:42:28,440
Speaker 2: got to try something. Break time for us here more

810

824
00:43:25,600 --> 00:43:29,919
Speaker 17: Very good, afternoon, Chris, Steve Hallaya good, They're good. Good.

825
00:43:31,160 --> 00:43:34,160
Speaker 17: As far as your question goes, I want to see

826
00:43:34,200 --> 00:43:39,480
Speaker 17: some diversity in the offense, especially the passing game. I'd

827
00:43:39,560 --> 00:43:42,600
Speaker 17: like to see Ray Davis and Ty Johnson actually be

828
00:43:42,719 --> 00:43:45,279
Speaker 17: part of the game plan more than a basic run

829
00:43:45,719 --> 00:43:48,960
Speaker 17: off tackle or Ty Johnson just out there to block

830
00:43:49,040 --> 00:43:53,000
Speaker 17: or care catch a flare pattern. I'd like to see

831
00:43:53,840 --> 00:43:58,040
Speaker 17: the receivers running routes, being moved in different positions that

832
00:43:58,160 --> 00:44:01,879
Speaker 17: we typically haven't seen them in. I'd like to see

833
00:44:01,920 --> 00:44:04,960
Speaker 17: Curtis Samuel just run a fly pattern, use his speed,

834
00:44:05,200 --> 00:44:07,440
Speaker 17: just throw it up, put them on alert that we

835
00:44:07,520 --> 00:44:12,120
Speaker 17: can do it. Maybe I think he talked about rolling

836
00:44:12,200 --> 00:44:16,440
Speaker 17: Josh out. Just some things right blue legs, things that

837
00:44:16,880 --> 00:44:20,239
Speaker 17: we typically haven't shown and maybe haven't done more than

838
00:44:20,360 --> 00:44:24,600
Speaker 17: just an isolated instance, to just put teams on a

839
00:44:24,800 --> 00:44:27,560
Speaker 17: note that we have more in the bag, and the

840
00:44:27,640 --> 00:44:31,080
Speaker 17: players we have are good players and we can use

841
00:44:31,120 --> 00:44:34,040
Speaker 17: them a little bit better. So that's what I'm looking for.

842
00:44:34,480 --> 00:44:38,360
Speaker 17: I really think we've become very, very stagnant, and I

843
00:44:38,480 --> 00:44:41,480
Speaker 17: think we defer to the run game way too much.

844
00:44:42,880 --> 00:44:46,200
Speaker 17: I mean, I love James Cook, He's doing a phenomenal job,

845
00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:49,799
Speaker 17: but you know, people aren't really worried about what we're

846
00:44:49,840 --> 00:44:52,279
Speaker 17: going to do other than that right now, and I

847
00:44:52,400 --> 00:44:54,879
Speaker 17: think we put us in that bag. And I had

848
00:44:54,880 --> 00:44:59,920
Speaker 17: a quick question. The Michael Hoyt injury really really hit me.

849
00:45:00,760 --> 00:45:03,440
Speaker 17: I really down about that because I saw in a

850
00:45:03,520 --> 00:45:06,440
Speaker 17: game and a two thirds or three quarters I should say,

851
00:45:07,400 --> 00:45:10,560
Speaker 17: really what I thought this defense could be with them

852
00:45:10,600 --> 00:45:14,520
Speaker 17: on the field, it started to excite me. So looking forward,

853
00:45:15,320 --> 00:45:17,879
Speaker 17: maybe you can answer this question Steve a little bit better.

854
00:45:19,280 --> 00:45:22,960
Speaker 17: Is he able? How soon after the surgery is he

855
00:45:23,120 --> 00:45:26,040
Speaker 17: able to start rehabbing and what kind of things can

856
00:45:26,120 --> 00:45:28,560
Speaker 17: he do? And then secondly, if he's not going to

857
00:45:28,600 --> 00:45:31,840
Speaker 17: have that same burst that you look for in a

858
00:45:31,920 --> 00:45:35,400
Speaker 17: defensive lineman right off the snap, do you think he

859
00:45:35,520 --> 00:45:38,320
Speaker 17: has the skills and the ability to drop back to

860
00:45:38,400 --> 00:45:43,839
Speaker 17: middle linebacker with his size and athleticism. Really really could

861
00:45:43,880 --> 00:45:47,480
Speaker 17: be something. So I'm just just the thought, I don't

862
00:45:47,560 --> 00:45:50,280
Speaker 17: know that would be something that Bills would ever entertain.

863
00:45:50,880 --> 00:45:51,720
Speaker 17: That's all I got today.

864
00:45:51,760 --> 00:45:54,200
Speaker 4: Guy, thinks, all right, Well, one of the reasons they

865
00:45:54,320 --> 00:45:56,480
Speaker 4: picked Mike Hoyd up is because he can do all

866
00:45:56,520 --> 00:45:58,920
Speaker 4: of that stuff right, at least to a certain degree. Now,

867
00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:01,879
Speaker 4: certainly he's not as good middle linebackers as an all

868
00:46:01,920 --> 00:46:04,480
Speaker 4: the time middle linebacker would be, but he certainly wouldn't

869
00:46:04,480 --> 00:46:05,239
Speaker 4: be lost in there.

870
00:46:05,640 --> 00:46:05,759
Speaker 7: You know.

871
00:46:05,880 --> 00:46:08,880
Speaker 4: His athleticism is an asset. That's one of the reasons

872
00:46:08,920 --> 00:46:10,640
Speaker 4: they love him because they can line him up in

873
00:46:10,719 --> 00:46:13,360
Speaker 4: different spots. So nothing's off the table as far as

874
00:46:13,440 --> 00:46:17,360
Speaker 4: that goes. He's done for this year, no matter what.

875
00:46:18,560 --> 00:46:23,040
Speaker 4: So he's no not for the super Bowl, not for

876
00:46:23,160 --> 00:46:27,040
Speaker 4: the playoffs, not for a postseason push. He is completely

877
00:46:27,400 --> 00:46:32,279
Speaker 4: and utterly out of the picture until next offseason. But

878
00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:37,680
Speaker 4: there should be definitive and tangible hope that he will

879
00:46:37,719 --> 00:46:40,560
Speaker 4: come back and be the same player that he was

880
00:46:40,640 --> 00:46:43,440
Speaker 4: when he left there. He should expect that. I think

881
00:46:43,480 --> 00:46:47,520
Speaker 4: the doctors expected, the coaches expect it, and other injuries

882
00:46:47,560 --> 00:46:51,160
Speaker 4: of this nature with other players gives us reason to

883
00:46:51,320 --> 00:46:54,200
Speaker 4: expect it. So I'm i he'll be back and he'll

884
00:46:54,239 --> 00:46:54,560
Speaker 4: be better.

885
00:46:55,040 --> 00:46:55,759
Speaker 3: It's a long road.

886
00:46:55,840 --> 00:46:57,080
Speaker 4: He's gonna be a young He's going to be a

887
00:46:57,160 --> 00:46:59,200
Speaker 4: year older, he ass but it's a long road, but

888
00:46:59,320 --> 00:47:01,279
Speaker 4: none of us have to take it. We'll be able

889
00:47:01,360 --> 00:47:03,360
Speaker 4: to sit there and wait on him at the destination.

890
00:47:04,239 --> 00:47:05,600
Speaker 4: He's got a lot of work to do before he

891
00:47:05,640 --> 00:47:06,279
Speaker 4: gets there, and a.

892
00:47:06,280 --> 00:47:08,960
Speaker 2: Lot of times the first year back off an achilles,

893
00:47:09,080 --> 00:47:11,880
Speaker 2: the burst is not there in the same way that

894
00:47:11,960 --> 00:47:14,360
Speaker 2: it was prior to the injury. Sometimes it takes a

895
00:47:14,400 --> 00:47:17,520
Speaker 2: whole nother year for the burst and the quick twitch

896
00:47:17,600 --> 00:47:20,960
Speaker 2: ability to come back to that Achilles tendon, because I mean,

897
00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:26,160
Speaker 2: you're going from non weight bearing post surgery to partial

898
00:47:26,239 --> 00:47:32,239
Speaker 2: weight bearing, range of motion exercises, making sure your gait

899
00:47:32,880 --> 00:47:36,240
Speaker 2: is even that you're still not favoring it or off center,

900
00:47:36,560 --> 00:47:39,000
Speaker 2: you know your hips are out of alignment, and then

901
00:47:39,680 --> 00:47:42,759
Speaker 2: then you go into the functional areas of recovery where

902
00:47:42,800 --> 00:47:47,800
Speaker 2: you're doing everything from heel raises to walking to stairs,

903
00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:52,239
Speaker 2: and that's before you're even on a field, and that's

904
00:47:52,280 --> 00:47:54,680
Speaker 2: three months out of surgery. So it is a long

905
00:47:54,840 --> 00:47:58,239
Speaker 2: and arduous process to come back from all that, and

906
00:47:58,360 --> 00:48:01,240
Speaker 2: that's before you even get to ply metrics and single

907
00:48:01,320 --> 00:48:04,960
Speaker 2: leg work and sports specific drills and getting full strength

908
00:48:05,080 --> 00:48:09,759
Speaker 2: back in the calf muscle. It is a long road, yeah,

909
00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:11,960
Speaker 2: and we wish him the best and look, he's got

910
00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:12,920
Speaker 2: the right mindset for it.

911
00:48:13,000 --> 00:48:15,399
Speaker 3: I'm not debating that for a second. But it's gonna

912
00:48:15,400 --> 00:48:15,880
Speaker 3: take a lot of.

913
00:48:15,880 --> 00:48:18,600
Speaker 4: Time and they have to get to a point as

914
00:48:18,680 --> 00:48:23,440
Speaker 4: well when he comes back that because of his injury

915
00:48:23,719 --> 00:48:26,799
Speaker 4: and the reason he says, you know, get their gate right.

916
00:48:27,719 --> 00:48:34,680
Speaker 4: You come back and your body compensates for your injury,

917
00:48:35,760 --> 00:48:40,040
Speaker 4: and you injure yourself someplace else, right, you pop the

918
00:48:40,120 --> 00:48:44,800
Speaker 4: other achilles or you you can you pull your you

919
00:48:44,920 --> 00:48:47,040
Speaker 4: pull your calf muscle on the other leg all the

920
00:48:47,160 --> 00:48:50,759
Speaker 4: time because you're gating weight and balance and all of that.

921
00:48:50,880 --> 00:48:52,160
Speaker 4: So you got to strength that you got. There's so

922
00:48:52,320 --> 00:48:55,600
Speaker 4: much to do and so many precautions to take on

923
00:48:55,680 --> 00:49:02,160
Speaker 4: the way back. It is absolutely hideous work and you

924
00:49:02,560 --> 00:49:05,600
Speaker 4: and it's tedious because you can't progress until you show

925
00:49:05,719 --> 00:49:08,799
Speaker 4: physical signs that you have made progress. That's the thing.

926
00:49:10,160 --> 00:49:14,920
Speaker 4: You can't go forward until you prove you are exactly

927
00:49:14,960 --> 00:49:17,840
Speaker 4: where you need to be. So it's it's a grind.

928
00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:18,600
Speaker 4: Oh my gosh.

929
00:49:19,719 --> 00:49:21,120
Speaker 3: So we wish him the best on that.

930
00:49:21,360 --> 00:49:24,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was an absolute crusher watching him go down

931
00:49:24,880 --> 00:49:27,440
Speaker 2: like that, absolute crusher because the defense just started to

932
00:49:27,480 --> 00:49:30,600
Speaker 2: look like what Mark said, what you thought it could

933
00:49:30,640 --> 00:49:32,520
Speaker 2: be this season, and that kind of went out the

934
00:49:32,600 --> 00:49:35,399
Speaker 2: window with his absence the rest of the way. Gotta

935
00:49:35,400 --> 00:49:38,359
Speaker 2: take a break here when we return, our second hour

Speaker 2: Day now at your local Wagman's Chunky Soup that eats

951
00:50:58,760 --> 00:50:59,279
Speaker 2: like a meal.

952
00:51:00,120 --> 00:51:02,160
Speaker 3: Eric, We're not gonna dwell on the Miami game.

953
00:51:02,239 --> 00:51:07,040
Speaker 2: We're moving full steam ahead to Bill's Bucks and Josh

954
00:51:07,120 --> 00:51:09,640
Speaker 2: Palmer a full participant in practice today.

955
00:51:09,760 --> 00:51:13,520
Speaker 3: Looks like it's trending towards him returning, and it.

956
00:51:13,640 --> 00:51:15,759
Speaker 2: Just seems like when the Bills get somebody back, they

957
00:51:15,840 --> 00:51:18,440
Speaker 2: lose somebody else. It's gonna be hard for Dalton Kinkaid

958
00:51:18,520 --> 00:51:20,960
Speaker 2: to get back from the hamstring injury he suffered last week.

959
00:51:21,680 --> 00:51:25,400
Speaker 2: My question to you is, with Palmer re entering the lineup,

960
00:51:26,000 --> 00:51:30,000
Speaker 2: Kinkaid likely exiting the lineup, we know the passing game

961
00:51:30,200 --> 00:51:35,720
Speaker 2: largely flows through him. How much could Joe Brady change

962
00:51:36,000 --> 00:51:40,759
Speaker 2: this passing game's tendencies with that equation and substitution in

963
00:51:40,800 --> 00:51:41,240
Speaker 2: the lineup.

964
00:51:42,880 --> 00:51:44,719
Speaker 18: Yeah, I mean, I think you're gonna look at more

965
00:51:44,760 --> 00:51:47,800
Speaker 18: eleven personnel than we've run a majority of this season.

966
00:51:47,920 --> 00:51:50,320
Speaker 18: You certainly have the ability to go twelve personnel with

967
00:51:50,719 --> 00:51:52,640
Speaker 18: Haws and knocks out there, and you have the ability

968
00:51:52,719 --> 00:51:55,719
Speaker 18: to go, you know, twenty two personnel with Gilliam out

969
00:51:55,760 --> 00:51:58,439
Speaker 18: there as well. But I think this week we could

970
00:51:58,480 --> 00:52:01,960
Speaker 18: see more eleven personnel, well against the Buccaneers, just to

971
00:52:02,040 --> 00:52:05,680
Speaker 18: think the fact that Palmer's back and Decade's out of

972
00:52:05,719 --> 00:52:09,920
Speaker 18: the lineup, and you know, we've heard everybody talking about that.

973
00:52:10,360 --> 00:52:12,879
Speaker 18: You know, we've gotten pretty predictable with the number one

974
00:52:13,000 --> 00:52:15,360
Speaker 18: run rate in the NFL. On first down, and so

975
00:52:15,440 --> 00:52:18,680
Speaker 18: I expect to see some more passing, and that doesn't

976
00:52:18,719 --> 00:52:22,440
Speaker 18: simply mean that we have to abandoned maybe the league's

977
00:52:22,480 --> 00:52:25,439
Speaker 18: best rushing attack and one of the best running backs

978
00:52:25,440 --> 00:52:27,520
Speaker 18: in the league in James Cook. Just at times we've

979
00:52:27,520 --> 00:52:31,080
Speaker 18: gotten predictable. We saw Miami bring in heavy personnel, had

980
00:52:31,160 --> 00:52:34,520
Speaker 18: another defensive tackle on the field at times, which didn't

981
00:52:34,520 --> 00:52:36,600
Speaker 18: allow us to get to the second level, which didn't

982
00:52:36,640 --> 00:52:38,880
Speaker 18: allow us to break those big runs.

983
00:52:38,920 --> 00:52:40,600
Speaker 7: And when teams are going to do that, you got

984
00:52:40,719 --> 00:52:42,200
Speaker 7: to have an answer. And so.

985
00:52:43,880 --> 00:52:46,839
Speaker 18: We saw progression from Josh and Palmer and it showed

986
00:52:46,920 --> 00:52:48,960
Speaker 18: up in a big way at the start of that

987
00:52:49,040 --> 00:52:52,800
Speaker 18: Atlanta game. Unfortunately, they don't get to keep working together

988
00:52:53,440 --> 00:52:55,719
Speaker 18: because of the injury to his needs ankle that he

989
00:52:55,760 --> 00:52:59,520
Speaker 18: suffered in the Atlanta game since then, but you know,

990
00:53:00,280 --> 00:53:03,439
Speaker 18: Josh Palmer's a guy that can definitely help this pass game,

991
00:53:03,480 --> 00:53:07,120
Speaker 18: probably the best sure route runner that we have. We

992
00:53:07,239 --> 00:53:10,600
Speaker 18: saw the explosive playability in the Baltimore game. We saw it,

993
00:53:10,880 --> 00:53:12,960
Speaker 18: you know, at the start of the Atlanta game. And

994
00:53:13,120 --> 00:53:15,759
Speaker 18: so he'll be a welcome condition back. But you know,

995
00:53:15,960 --> 00:53:18,560
Speaker 18: you certainly are gonna miss Kincaid. He's a he's a

996
00:53:18,640 --> 00:53:21,560
Speaker 18: matchup Nightmer out there, and when you're leaning into the

997
00:53:21,640 --> 00:53:23,080
Speaker 18: run game as much as we have, when you have

998
00:53:23,200 --> 00:53:25,719
Speaker 18: a tight end that can block on the perimeter the

999
00:53:25,760 --> 00:53:28,080
Speaker 18: way you can and also be a mismatch in the

1000
00:53:28,120 --> 00:53:30,040
Speaker 18: pass game, He's obviously a weapon.

1001
00:53:30,360 --> 00:53:31,360
Speaker 7: You gotta get him healthy.

1002
00:53:31,520 --> 00:53:34,320
Speaker 18: You don't want this hamstring to linger throughout the season,

1003
00:53:34,400 --> 00:53:35,920
Speaker 18: so you gotta be careful with it because you want

1004
00:53:36,040 --> 00:53:38,080
Speaker 18: him come crunchdown at the end of the season and

1005
00:53:38,160 --> 00:53:39,240
Speaker 18: then hopefully in the playoffs.

1006
00:53:39,440 --> 00:53:40,759
Speaker 4: Well, there's been a ton of guys in and out

1007
00:53:40,760 --> 00:53:42,080
Speaker 4: of the lineup on both sides of the ball, But

1008
00:53:42,080 --> 00:53:45,960
Speaker 4: when you're talking about the offense, the one constant always

1009
00:53:46,200 --> 00:53:50,480
Speaker 4: is Josh. What do you see in general the teams

1010
00:53:50,680 --> 00:53:54,120
Speaker 4: do every single week to try and contain Josh and

1011
00:53:54,239 --> 00:53:56,439
Speaker 4: try and you know, get him off his game. What's

1012
00:53:56,520 --> 00:54:00,440
Speaker 4: the what's the go to tactic the defense are going

1013
00:54:00,480 --> 00:54:01,760
Speaker 4: to because it's Josh Allen.

1014
00:54:03,680 --> 00:54:05,920
Speaker 18: Yeah, I think you're seeing a lot of simulated pressures

1015
00:54:06,000 --> 00:54:08,880
Speaker 18: right now where it's tough to figure out who's coming.

1016
00:54:08,960 --> 00:54:12,040
Speaker 18: You got six or so guys at the line of scrimmage,

1017
00:54:12,080 --> 00:54:14,560
Speaker 18: and for the offensive line, it puts them in tough

1018
00:54:14,600 --> 00:54:16,160
Speaker 18: battles when they get a one on one because a

1019
00:54:16,160 --> 00:54:18,200
Speaker 18: lot of times you're trying to sort out who's coming

1020
00:54:18,280 --> 00:54:20,440
Speaker 18: on the play, and you know, it doesn't necessarily mean

1021
00:54:20,480 --> 00:54:22,640
Speaker 18: they're bringing the pressure each time, but you have to

1022
00:54:23,280 --> 00:54:27,200
Speaker 18: make your checks at the line of scrimmage. And because

1023
00:54:27,480 --> 00:54:29,840
Speaker 18: of some of the limitations that we've seen in the

1024
00:54:29,840 --> 00:54:32,239
Speaker 18: past game this year, you know, they'll leave guys one

1025
00:54:32,280 --> 00:54:34,000
Speaker 18: on one on the outside and not have a whole

1026
00:54:34,040 --> 00:54:36,720
Speaker 18: lot of fear to be able to run those simulated pressure.

1027
00:54:36,800 --> 00:54:38,600
Speaker 7: So Bill's got to be able to make those teams

1028
00:54:38,680 --> 00:54:39,560
Speaker 7: pay when they do that.

1029
00:54:40,440 --> 00:54:43,239
Speaker 18: But to me, that seems to be one of the

1030
00:54:43,360 --> 00:54:47,160
Speaker 18: main tactics that we've seen to take away this passing game.

1031
00:54:47,239 --> 00:54:50,839
Speaker 18: And then you know, Miami defensively did a good job

1032
00:54:50,920 --> 00:54:54,320
Speaker 18: of containing our screens. Our play action now part of

1033
00:54:54,400 --> 00:54:58,240
Speaker 18: that simply game script. And look right now, this Bill's

1034
00:54:58,280 --> 00:55:02,280
Speaker 18: team is built play from ahead. I mean, the injuries

1035
00:55:02,320 --> 00:55:05,680
Speaker 18: have pretty much caused that. With as many defensive tackle

1036
00:55:05,719 --> 00:55:09,840
Speaker 18: injuries we had this season, we've had linebacker injuries this season.

1037
00:55:10,840 --> 00:55:13,399
Speaker 18: You know, guys on the perimeter on offense getting hurt.

1038
00:55:14,040 --> 00:55:16,560
Speaker 18: So we're built to play from ahead right now. And

1039
00:55:17,280 --> 00:55:19,520
Speaker 18: that's not a terrible thing. The Colts won a Super

1040
00:55:19,560 --> 00:55:22,759
Speaker 18: Bowl doing that. The Colts won the Super Bowl with

1041
00:55:22,800 --> 00:55:24,799
Speaker 18: Peyton Mann and giving up the most yards per carry

1042
00:55:24,800 --> 00:55:26,920
Speaker 18: in the NFL that season, But they knew they were

1043
00:55:26,920 --> 00:55:30,600
Speaker 18: built to play from ahead, and so until you can

1044
00:55:30,719 --> 00:55:34,279
Speaker 18: get more reinforcements back, you understand that now this we

1045
00:55:34,800 --> 00:55:37,279
Speaker 18: prove it against the Ravens that we can come back,

1046
00:55:37,320 --> 00:55:39,960
Speaker 18: and we can do it in a pinch. But you

1047
00:55:40,000 --> 00:55:43,600
Speaker 18: know this is the team that right now, that's where

1048
00:55:43,600 --> 00:55:45,520
Speaker 18: they're going to throw. You know, you're healthy on the

1049
00:55:45,640 --> 00:55:48,000
Speaker 18: edges with Bosa, I mean he's got his wrist, but

1050
00:55:48,080 --> 00:55:49,960
Speaker 18: he's still passed rushing effectively last week.

1051
00:55:50,320 --> 00:55:52,840
Speaker 7: Epanessa is going to be back this week. You got Russou.

1052
00:55:53,000 --> 00:55:56,960
Speaker 18: That's that's your strength right now defensively, and you got

1053
00:55:57,040 --> 00:55:59,719
Speaker 18: to do all you can to jump on teams early.

1054
00:56:00,160 --> 00:56:02,239
Speaker 18: And it doesn't mean it's a loss if you don't,

1055
00:56:02,680 --> 00:56:04,520
Speaker 18: but it just seems like right now that's got to

1056
00:56:04,520 --> 00:56:07,319
Speaker 18: be the focus. Let's start fast, start in tense, get

1057
00:56:07,360 --> 00:56:09,839
Speaker 18: a lead, let us tee off on them, and then

1058
00:56:09,960 --> 00:56:11,600
Speaker 18: we can stay two dimensional on offense.

1059
00:56:12,280 --> 00:56:14,239
Speaker 2: Last one for me, Eric, because we got Larry Ogan

1060
00:56:14,320 --> 00:56:17,120
Speaker 2: Joby waiting in the wings. But you know that the

1061
00:56:17,719 --> 00:56:21,000
Speaker 2: Bucks are a high blitz percentage team, currently fifth in

1062
00:56:21,080 --> 00:56:24,200
Speaker 2: the league. We saw the success that Atlanta had in

1063
00:56:24,400 --> 00:56:26,680
Speaker 2: going heavy blitz on the Bills. Granted they were long

1064
00:56:26,760 --> 00:56:30,920
Speaker 2: down in distant situations, So what are you anticipating from them?

1065
00:56:31,120 --> 00:56:35,520
Speaker 18: Just as aggressive, I would assume, so until you make

1066
00:56:35,600 --> 00:56:38,480
Speaker 18: a pay now, Josh throughout his career has generally torched

1067
00:56:38,520 --> 00:56:41,879
Speaker 18: the blitz. But you know, you see the Atlanta game,

1068
00:56:41,960 --> 00:56:44,160
Speaker 18: and you've seen the success that people have had whether

1069
00:56:44,160 --> 00:56:46,680
Speaker 18: they're pressuring or simulated pressures at the line of scrimmage

1070
00:56:47,480 --> 00:56:51,040
Speaker 18: against us in obvious past situation. So I think we'll

1071
00:56:51,040 --> 00:56:53,239
Speaker 18: see as much of the same. And you know, with

1072
00:56:53,480 --> 00:56:57,200
Speaker 18: with this Bucks defense, they're generally gonna be who they are.

1073
00:56:57,239 --> 00:57:00,839
Speaker 18: They're gonna light you up with some exotic pressures they've

1074
00:57:01,239 --> 00:57:03,359
Speaker 18: you know, they'll show you something on film a week

1075
00:57:03,400 --> 00:57:06,879
Speaker 18: ago and then they'll you know, flip it the next

1076
00:57:06,960 --> 00:57:09,719
Speaker 18: week or simulate off of that to where they don't

1077
00:57:09,760 --> 00:57:11,359
Speaker 18: come but they show you that same look.

1078
00:57:11,400 --> 00:57:13,200
Speaker 7: It's it's a tough defense to prepare.

1079
00:57:13,000 --> 00:57:15,440
Speaker 2: For, all right, Eric, Well, thanks for the time, We

1080
00:57:15,560 --> 00:57:17,640
Speaker 2: appreciate it, and we'll see you up here this weekend.

1081
00:57:18,720 --> 00:57:20,360
Speaker 7: Okay. Sounds good, looking forward to you guys.

00:57:27,720 --> 00:57:31,000
Speaker 2: come back live in studio and fresh off the practice field,

1086
00:57:31,200 --> 00:57:33,720
Speaker 2: Bill's defensive tackle Larry Ogan Jobey joins us next.

1087
00:57:33,680 --> 00:57:34,520

00:57:34,560 --> 00:57:35,200
Speaker 4: Stay with us.

1089
00:57:49,120 --> 00:57:51,120
Speaker 2: All right back here on One Bill's Live Chris Brown,

1090
00:57:51,120 --> 00:57:53,640
Speaker 2: Steve Tasker, and joined in studio now by Bill's defensive

1091
00:57:53,680 --> 00:57:56,920
Speaker 2: tackle Larry Ogan Joby, fresh off the practice field, and

1092
00:57:57,840 --> 00:57:59,960
Speaker 2: Larry first and foremost in terms of just getting back

1093
00:58:00,160 --> 00:58:02,880
Speaker 2: into the lineup and stuff. I know you got acclimated

1094
00:58:02,960 --> 00:58:05,560
Speaker 2: to your teammates in the training camp setting, and then

1095
00:58:05,600 --> 00:58:07,600
Speaker 2: you come back in the Carolina game.

1096
00:58:08,360 --> 00:58:11,440
Speaker 3: You get one game with it the dang lineup.

1097
00:58:11,560 --> 00:58:13,480
Speaker 2: I think I get used to somebody else, and it

1098
00:58:13,640 --> 00:58:15,760
Speaker 2: just seems like that's just been that kind of year

1099
00:58:15,840 --> 00:58:19,000
Speaker 2: for the defense. And I'm not harping on the negative here.

1100
00:58:19,040 --> 00:58:21,880
Speaker 2: What I'm curious to know is how are you adjusting

1101
00:58:22,000 --> 00:58:24,600
Speaker 2: week to week knowing each week you might have a

1102
00:58:24,680 --> 00:58:27,520
Speaker 2: different guy lining up next next to you to play

1103
00:58:27,600 --> 00:58:28,760
Speaker 2: off of within the scheme.

1104
00:58:29,800 --> 00:58:32,360
Speaker 14: This is nature of the business. Football is it's a

1105
00:58:32,480 --> 00:58:35,280
Speaker 14: violent sport, but and things happen, but you just kind

1106
00:58:35,280 --> 00:58:36,480
Speaker 14: oft used to it, you know what I'm saying. And

1107
00:58:37,120 --> 00:58:39,200
Speaker 14: I think that's the biggest thing about building relationships with

1108
00:58:39,280 --> 00:58:41,680
Speaker 14: your teammates and understanding that you know, at any point

1109
00:58:41,680 --> 00:58:44,200
Speaker 14: anything can happen. But it's about staying ready, you know,

1110
00:58:44,280 --> 00:58:46,680
Speaker 14: and working hard and perfecting your craft because you just

1111
00:58:46,760 --> 00:58:48,880
Speaker 14: never know when your number is called. And if you

1112
00:58:49,040 --> 00:58:51,000
Speaker 14: just attack the day, you know, with your work ethic,

1113
00:58:51,120 --> 00:58:54,200
Speaker 14: your mentality, things of that nature, I think everything's gonna

1114
00:58:54,200 --> 00:58:56,200
Speaker 14: workut the way it supposed to. Obviously, injuries suck and

1115
00:58:56,280 --> 00:58:58,000
Speaker 14: you never want things like that to happen. But you

1116
00:58:58,120 --> 00:59:00,440
Speaker 14: have to be ready as a professional because you know

1117
00:59:00,480 --> 00:59:01,880
Speaker 14: when you're number is called, you you want to go

1118
00:59:01,920 --> 00:59:02,520
Speaker 14: out there and produce.

1119
00:59:02,640 --> 00:59:05,160
Speaker 4: So you've got this this defense where it's been riddled

1120
00:59:05,200 --> 00:59:07,320
Speaker 4: with injuries, and you go out this last week and

1121
00:59:07,400 --> 00:59:10,680
Speaker 4: you really put together a really nice game for three courts.

1122
00:59:10,680 --> 00:59:14,160
Speaker 4: You had them sixteen, you know, sixteen points. They snapped

1123
00:59:14,160 --> 00:59:15,560
Speaker 4: off the two long runs at the end when you

1124
00:59:15,600 --> 00:59:18,200
Speaker 4: guys were but gassed. But that was a it was

1125
00:59:18,240 --> 00:59:20,920
Speaker 4: a yeoman's effort by the guys up fronting up that

1126
00:59:20,960 --> 00:59:23,360
Speaker 4: front seat. And to stop that running game and keep

1127
00:59:23,440 --> 00:59:25,240
Speaker 4: them off the board. They got you on, they got

1128
00:59:25,360 --> 00:59:27,440
Speaker 4: Max on a double move on the outside to give

1129
00:59:27,480 --> 00:59:31,040
Speaker 4: them that the second touchdown. Really a nice defensive effort

1130
00:59:31,080 --> 00:59:33,280
Speaker 4: that kind of and it always happens. I mean, somebody's

1131
00:59:33,280 --> 00:59:36,800
Speaker 4: gonna lose. But yeah, you play well like that on

1132
00:59:36,920 --> 00:59:39,480
Speaker 4: your side of the ball. What was the what was

1133
00:59:39,520 --> 00:59:42,280
Speaker 4: the demeanor like when you rehash that game when you

1134
00:59:42,360 --> 00:59:44,040
Speaker 4: watch on film, it wasn't all bad.

1135
00:59:44,720 --> 00:59:46,200
Speaker 14: You it's not all bad. But at the end of

1136
00:59:46,200 --> 00:59:47,800
Speaker 14: the day, you know, you want the w. I think

1137
00:59:47,840 --> 00:59:50,520
Speaker 14: that's the most important stat is getting to win. And

1138
00:59:51,120 --> 00:59:53,240
Speaker 14: it sucks when it's one or two players that kind

1139
00:59:53,280 --> 00:59:55,920
Speaker 14: of swing the number and the rushing yards and all

1140
00:59:55,960 --> 00:59:57,800
Speaker 14: this kind of stuff. But at the end of the day,

1141
00:59:57,800 --> 00:59:59,760
Speaker 14: it's still our job, you know, to play, you know,

1142
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:03,080
Speaker 14: sixteen minutes of football. And you know, even though those

1143
01:00:03,160 --> 01:00:05,560
Speaker 14: plays are you know, those one offs, you still we

1144
01:00:05,640 --> 01:00:07,040
Speaker 14: still have the ability to stop them, you know what

1145
01:00:07,080 --> 01:00:08,919
Speaker 14: I'm saying. So you look at it with a grant

1146
01:00:08,960 --> 01:00:11,240
Speaker 14: of salt. You understand that you know, we play good,

1147
01:00:11,520 --> 01:00:13,720
Speaker 14: but instead of fifty eight minutes, it has to be sixty,

1148
01:00:13,760 --> 01:00:15,959
Speaker 14: you know what I'm saying. And those little junk plays,

1149
01:00:16,000 --> 01:00:18,040
Speaker 14: the plays at the end of the game, they still count,

1150
01:00:18,280 --> 01:00:19,760
Speaker 14: and you know, when our numbers called, we gotta be

1151
01:00:19,800 --> 01:00:21,360
Speaker 14: out there and we got to find a way to

1152
01:00:21,440 --> 01:00:25,040
Speaker 14: you know, stop it. So the effort is always going

1153
01:00:25,080 --> 01:00:27,040
Speaker 14: to be there. I think this is a very resilient,

1154
01:00:27,200 --> 01:00:28,920
Speaker 14: you know, team and group, just from what I've seen

1155
01:00:28,960 --> 01:00:31,760
Speaker 14: from the guys just about how to go about their business,

1156
01:00:31,800 --> 01:00:33,920
Speaker 14: how they how they work. So I just think, you know,

1157
01:00:33,960 --> 01:00:35,440
Speaker 14: you take it on the chin, you understand what you

1158
01:00:35,480 --> 01:00:37,440
Speaker 14: got to do better, and you just keep swinging. So

1159
01:00:38,040 --> 01:00:40,280
Speaker 14: I'm excited for the next opportunity, Larry.

1160
01:00:40,320 --> 01:00:44,160
Speaker 2: Everybody has a unique path to this league, some more

1161
01:00:44,240 --> 01:00:46,800
Speaker 2: interesting and unique than others. I would have to say

1162
01:00:46,840 --> 01:00:48,680
Speaker 2: yours is one of the more unique I have seen

1163
01:00:48,840 --> 01:00:52,960
Speaker 2: or read about. Your parents basically told you to get

1164
01:00:53,000 --> 01:00:55,400
Speaker 2: the heck off the couch and stop playing Xbox, right.

1165
01:00:55,360 --> 01:00:59,000
Speaker 3: Like that's that was the genesis of your football path.

1166
01:00:58,960 --> 01:01:02,880
Speaker 14: Right yeah, y'all give you the abbreviated version. So I

1167
01:01:03,000 --> 01:01:06,080
Speaker 14: was about three point fifty. There's summer of my sophomore

1168
01:01:06,120 --> 01:01:08,040
Speaker 14: year in high school, and my mom was like, man,

1169
01:01:08,080 --> 01:01:10,520
Speaker 14: you're getting too big and obaest, so you're about to

1170
01:01:10,560 --> 01:01:12,440
Speaker 14: kill yourself. So she took her in my xbox that

1171
01:01:12,520 --> 01:01:15,040
Speaker 14: was a big gamer and growing up, and my dad

1172
01:01:15,160 --> 01:01:17,080
Speaker 14: met a coach when he took my sister a park

1173
01:01:17,520 --> 01:01:19,680
Speaker 14: and the coach said he could help me. His name

1174
01:01:19,760 --> 01:01:21,720
Speaker 14: was Robert Mitchell. So you know, he starts waking me

1175
01:01:21,800 --> 01:01:23,520
Speaker 14: up in the morning, getting me out of bed. I'm

1176
01:01:23,560 --> 01:01:25,320
Speaker 14: pissed off because I've been playing the game all night.

1177
01:01:25,360 --> 01:01:29,120
Speaker 14: I'm tired, and you know, we're training. You know, one

1178
01:01:29,200 --> 01:01:31,040
Speaker 14: day we're riding by the high school and he's like,

1179
01:01:31,080 --> 01:01:32,840
Speaker 14: you're gonna play football and I'm like, no, I'm not.

1180
01:01:32,960 --> 01:01:34,840
Speaker 14: He's like, yes, you are, and we're getting an argument

1181
01:01:34,880 --> 01:01:37,200
Speaker 14: in the car. He takes he gets the permission slip

1182
01:01:37,280 --> 01:01:38,960
Speaker 14: from the lady at the front desk. My mom signed it.

1183
01:01:38,960 --> 01:01:41,520
Speaker 14: I'm on a football field that Saturday. I know, the

1184
01:01:41,640 --> 01:01:43,200
Speaker 14: coaches come up to me. You know, I'm trying to

1185
01:01:43,240 --> 01:01:45,240
Speaker 14: do the spirits. I'm trying to finish running. Can't do

1186
01:01:45,320 --> 01:01:47,840
Speaker 14: none of it, can't finish the experience, can't do pretty

1187
01:01:47,920 --> 01:01:50,160
Speaker 14: much anything, don't I don't have Yeah, you know, I'm

1188
01:01:50,200 --> 01:01:52,160
Speaker 14: running out there and they're like, oh man, this guy.

1189
01:01:52,560 --> 01:01:54,040
Speaker 14: The coaches come up to me the next day and

1190
01:01:54,040 --> 01:01:56,320
Speaker 14: they're like, you want to make sure you're still here. Yeah,

1191
01:01:56,320 --> 01:01:58,080
Speaker 14: I'm still here, but in my head only because I

1192
01:01:58,160 --> 01:02:00,200
Speaker 14: have to be you know what I'm saying. So I

1193
01:02:00,320 --> 01:02:02,440
Speaker 14: ended up going through my JV season and you know,

1194
01:02:02,840 --> 01:02:06,000
Speaker 14: I'm working, I'm training, and we get to the award

1195
01:02:06,040 --> 01:02:08,480
Speaker 14: banquet and I thought my best friend at the time,

1196
01:02:08,600 --> 01:02:11,640
Speaker 14: Trey Gomes, canna get the award for most Improved JV Player,

1197
01:02:11,800 --> 01:02:13,720
Speaker 14: and they ended up calling my name and that was

1198
01:02:13,760 --> 01:02:14,960
Speaker 14: the first time in my life where I felt like

1199
01:02:14,960 --> 01:02:16,560
Speaker 14: I earned something I really worked for, and I was like,

1200
01:02:16,600 --> 01:02:18,400
Speaker 14: all right, maybe I can do this football thing. So

1201
01:02:18,560 --> 01:02:21,080
Speaker 14: my parents are immigrants from Nigeria and we didn't really

1202
01:02:21,160 --> 01:02:24,000
Speaker 14: know anything about scholarships anything of that nature. So I

1203
01:02:24,040 --> 01:02:25,560
Speaker 14: asked my coach what I needed to do. He said,

1204
01:02:25,560 --> 01:02:26,920
Speaker 14: you had to get faster, you had to get stronger,

1205
01:02:26,960 --> 01:02:28,880
Speaker 14: and you had to perfect your technique. So every day

1206
01:02:28,880 --> 01:02:30,640
Speaker 14: after practice, I would go to the YMCA and I

1207
01:02:30,720 --> 01:02:33,480
Speaker 14: started offering in half a mile and biking five miles,

1208
01:02:33,560 --> 01:02:35,640
Speaker 14: then you know, running a whole mill, biking ten miles,

1209
01:02:35,680 --> 01:02:36,920
Speaker 14: and I finally got the point where I can room

1210
01:02:36,960 --> 01:02:39,640
Speaker 14: with like two of miles without stopping, bike fifteen miles,

1211
01:02:39,640 --> 01:02:41,080
Speaker 14: and my body composition started changing.

1212
01:02:41,120 --> 01:02:42,640
Speaker 3: So I went from so you're trying to still drop

1213
01:02:42,720 --> 01:02:43,480
Speaker 3: way at yeah point.

1214
01:02:43,560 --> 01:02:45,200
Speaker 14: So I went from three fifty to summer of my

1215
01:02:45,280 --> 01:02:48,000
Speaker 14: sophomore year to two forty seven to summer of my

1216
01:02:48,080 --> 01:02:49,960
Speaker 14: junior year. And then the coach got mad at me.

1217
01:02:50,040 --> 01:02:52,480
Speaker 14: He was right now, to play dB.

1218
01:02:52,840 --> 01:02:54,920
Speaker 4: There had to be people in your life that didn't

1219
01:02:54,920 --> 01:02:57,120
Speaker 4: see you for a month or two and they came

1220
01:02:57,240 --> 01:02:58,600
Speaker 4: and didn't almost.

1221
01:02:58,640 --> 01:03:02,000
Speaker 14: Recognized sure, because you know when you're when you're going

1222
01:03:02,040 --> 01:03:04,720
Speaker 14: through your process, you know, like it's funny how like

1223
01:03:05,040 --> 01:03:07,800
Speaker 14: day by day nothing changes, but then when you look back,

1224
01:03:07,840 --> 01:03:09,920
Speaker 14: everything that's different, you know what I'm saying. So just

1225
01:03:10,040 --> 01:03:12,120
Speaker 14: when I was training and going through my process, you know,

1226
01:03:12,400 --> 01:03:13,800
Speaker 14: and all of a sudden, I remember I was, I

1227
01:03:13,880 --> 01:03:16,280
Speaker 14: think we came back for classes and somebody looked at me, like, wow,

1228
01:03:16,320 --> 01:03:18,320
Speaker 14: you look like just so different, you know what I'm saying.

1229
01:03:18,320 --> 01:03:20,280
Speaker 14: That's when I knew that, you know, the work was going.

1230
01:03:20,360 --> 01:03:22,960
Speaker 14: So I ended up, you know, going boking back up

1231
01:03:23,000 --> 01:03:24,680
Speaker 14: to two sixty seven, cause my coach is pissed off

1232
01:03:24,720 --> 01:03:27,480
Speaker 14: at me. Played that played my junior year. Senior year

1233
01:03:27,680 --> 01:03:29,800
Speaker 14: was All Conference East West, Allstar, I kind of good stuff.

1234
01:03:29,840 --> 01:03:33,600
Speaker 14: Had five scholars of offers Charlotte, Firman, Howard Presbyterian, and

1235
01:03:33,640 --> 01:03:36,480
Speaker 14: Kataba and I took one official visit to you and

1236
01:03:36,520 --> 01:03:40,080
Speaker 14: see Charlotte and that was it. I majored in computer

1237
01:03:40,160 --> 01:03:42,760
Speaker 14: science symbology and was the first player A drafted from

1238
01:03:42,840 --> 01:03:43,920
Speaker 14: Charlotte in twenty seventeen.

1239
01:03:44,040 --> 01:03:45,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, and so here's the other thing.

1240
01:03:45,640 --> 01:03:48,400
Speaker 2: Because you set a goal, you know, you try to

1241
01:03:48,480 --> 01:03:52,200
Speaker 2: achieve it all within the framework of playing football.

1242
01:03:52,480 --> 01:03:56,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, but when did the love for the game come in?

1243
01:03:57,000 --> 01:04:01,120
Speaker 2: Because you're I imagine you're so tun vision focused on

1244
01:04:01,640 --> 01:04:03,440
Speaker 2: I got to get down to this weight, I got

1245
01:04:03,560 --> 01:04:06,320
Speaker 2: to have this level of conditioning, and yes, you're playing football,

1246
01:04:06,400 --> 01:04:10,120
Speaker 2: But when did the switch flip where you're like, because

1247
01:04:10,160 --> 01:04:12,000
Speaker 2: when you have that level of conditioning and you are

1248
01:04:12,160 --> 01:04:15,240
Speaker 2: that ready to play, the game becomes easier, obviously, But

1249
01:04:15,440 --> 01:04:18,200
Speaker 2: when did the love for this game show up? Because,

1250
01:04:18,400 --> 01:04:20,919
Speaker 2: as Steve said, all the time, it hurts to play

1251
01:04:21,000 --> 01:04:23,200
Speaker 2: this game. You have to love it to play it.

1252
01:04:23,600 --> 01:04:27,480
Speaker 14: I think the critical moment was, like I said, when

1253
01:04:27,480 --> 01:04:30,200
Speaker 14: I got that award. And then also my faith. You know,

1254
01:04:30,520 --> 01:04:33,080
Speaker 14: I'm very rooted in my faith, and I just understand

1255
01:04:33,160 --> 01:04:36,280
Speaker 14: that I've been blessed with you know, an amazing opportunity

1256
01:04:36,320 --> 01:04:38,280
Speaker 14: and a lot of times when I just looking back

1257
01:04:38,320 --> 01:04:40,600
Speaker 14: on my life, like it's just it's amazing, you know

1258
01:04:40,640 --> 01:04:42,200
Speaker 14: what I'm saying, to be somebody who used to watch

1259
01:04:42,240 --> 01:04:44,600
Speaker 14: people go to practice and all that stuff. I'm getting

1260
01:04:44,600 --> 01:04:46,200
Speaker 14: on the bus, I'm going home, eating my wings and

1261
01:04:46,240 --> 01:04:49,240
Speaker 14: stuff like that. To actually, you know, I'm going to

1262
01:04:49,320 --> 01:04:50,720
Speaker 14: you're not in the NFL, And I just sit back

1263
01:04:50,760 --> 01:04:52,720
Speaker 14: and I'm like, I'm just extremely blessed. You know, God

1264
01:04:52,760 --> 01:04:55,920
Speaker 14: has been, you know, just amazing to me. And because

1265
01:04:55,960 --> 01:04:59,840
Speaker 14: of that, I feel like I have an obligation to

1266
01:05:00,160 --> 01:05:01,920
Speaker 14: to be the best at everything I do and to

1267
01:05:02,040 --> 01:05:04,240
Speaker 14: give my all and regardless of the things that are

1268
01:05:04,280 --> 01:05:06,440
Speaker 14: happening around me, just understanding that everything's just gonna work

1269
01:05:06,440 --> 01:05:06,960
Speaker 14: out in my favor.

1270
01:05:07,040 --> 01:05:09,520
Speaker 4: Soth this This is interesting to me because you know,

1271
01:05:09,600 --> 01:05:11,880
Speaker 4: you start out, you're a gamer, and that's a it's

1272
01:05:11,920 --> 01:05:15,040
Speaker 4: a solitary You're playing against guys, you're competing, but you're

1273
01:05:15,160 --> 01:05:17,000
Speaker 4: you know, you're sitting by yourself most of the time.

1274
01:05:17,320 --> 01:05:19,160
Speaker 3: Was a very good gamer, right exactly?

1275
01:05:19,640 --> 01:05:24,320
Speaker 4: So what was how did you get your mind around

1276
01:05:24,440 --> 01:05:28,440
Speaker 4: being a good teammate, a contributor rather than you know,

1277
01:05:28,480 --> 01:05:29,960
Speaker 4: the center of the game. Why did you get your

1278
01:05:30,000 --> 01:05:33,680
Speaker 4: mind around? You know, I think how did that acclamation?

1279
01:05:34,360 --> 01:05:38,200
Speaker 14: I think it's funny because football My first NFL game

1280
01:05:38,320 --> 01:05:40,360
Speaker 14: was the one I played in. I never you know,

1281
01:05:40,440 --> 01:05:44,160
Speaker 14: I never saw it. But I'd say, just that camaraderie,

1282
01:05:44,240 --> 01:05:45,920
Speaker 14: you know what I'm saying, Like, there's nothing people say

1283
01:05:45,920 --> 01:05:47,480
Speaker 14: it all the time. There's nothing like high school football,

1284
01:05:47,720 --> 01:05:50,320
Speaker 14: you know, Friday night lights, you're out there, you're playing,

1285
01:05:50,360 --> 01:05:53,240
Speaker 14: the band is playing like you got the smash song going,

1286
01:05:53,360 --> 01:05:57,640
Speaker 14: like it's just it's a classic everybody. So it's like

1287
01:05:58,640 --> 01:06:00,480
Speaker 14: you you you you feel that energy, you know what

1288
01:06:00,480 --> 01:06:02,280
Speaker 14: I'm saying, and you just build off that. And and

1289
01:06:02,600 --> 01:06:04,080
Speaker 14: I was blessed to have a really good team and

1290
01:06:04,480 --> 01:06:06,960
Speaker 14: in high school, you know, we averaged ten wins a season,

1291
01:06:07,000 --> 01:06:09,240
Speaker 14: all that kind of stuff. So it was you start

1292
01:06:09,320 --> 01:06:13,160
Speaker 14: to see like the importance of hard work, dedication, you know,

1293
01:06:13,280 --> 01:06:15,880
Speaker 14: like the standard, and start to appreciate each other exactly,

1294
01:06:15,920 --> 01:06:17,720
Speaker 14: you know what I'm saying, And then you go and

1295
01:06:17,800 --> 01:06:20,080
Speaker 14: you play those tough games and then you win. You

1296
01:06:20,120 --> 01:06:22,120
Speaker 14: know what I'm saying, Like that, there's nothing like you

1297
01:06:22,200 --> 01:06:24,440
Speaker 14: can't really replicate that until you experience it. So I

1298
01:06:24,480 --> 01:06:27,040
Speaker 14: would just say just going through those things and having

1299
01:06:27,120 --> 01:06:29,440
Speaker 14: those moments and then being around good people, it just,

1300
01:06:29,560 --> 01:06:31,600
Speaker 14: you know, it just blossom into something special.

1301
01:06:31,880 --> 01:06:35,040
Speaker 2: You haven't been on this roster long, but you were

1302
01:06:35,120 --> 01:06:39,600
Speaker 2: just saying earlier that you believe there's a resilient nature

1303
01:06:39,720 --> 01:06:40,320
Speaker 2: to this team.

1304
01:06:40,520 --> 01:06:43,600
Speaker 3: Yes, Why being so new to.

1305
01:06:43,680 --> 01:06:46,520
Speaker 2: It, being dropped into this locker room, do you feel

1306
01:06:46,640 --> 01:06:49,120
Speaker 2: that and recognize that in this team already?

1307
01:06:49,200 --> 01:06:51,760
Speaker 3: What what makes you see that in this group?

1308
01:06:52,720 --> 01:06:56,400
Speaker 14: I'd say the players and the coaches, just from how

1309
01:06:56,480 --> 01:06:59,240
Speaker 14: they how we work, how we how we approach every day.

1310
01:06:59,360 --> 01:07:01,600
Speaker 14: Understanding this team that has had a lot of success,

1311
01:07:01,680 --> 01:07:04,360
Speaker 14: you know what I'm saying, And sometimes success can be clouding,

1312
01:07:04,560 --> 01:07:07,480
Speaker 14: but when you understand that you have to earn it

1313
01:07:07,520 --> 01:07:10,440
Speaker 14: each and every Sunday and the work never stops. That's

1314
01:07:10,480 --> 01:07:14,360
Speaker 14: the reflection of you know, your team, your players, and

1315
01:07:14,640 --> 01:07:14,880
Speaker 14: I just.

1316
01:07:14,920 --> 01:07:15,440
Speaker 9: See that, you know.

1317
01:07:15,480 --> 01:07:17,480
Speaker 14: I don't see guys trying to take it easier or

1318
01:07:17,640 --> 01:07:20,400
Speaker 14: walk around, you know, with their head up like trying

1319
01:07:20,400 --> 01:07:22,760
Speaker 14: to act like they're all moduling everything. It's more like

1320
01:07:23,040 --> 01:07:26,000
Speaker 14: we're working, We're grinding, like every day we have to

1321
01:07:26,080 --> 01:07:27,280
Speaker 14: go out and earn it, you know what I'm saying.

1322
01:07:27,320 --> 01:07:28,520
Speaker 14: And not only we have to go out and earn it.

1323
01:07:28,600 --> 01:07:30,560
Speaker 14: We have to understand that we're gonna get everybody's best shot.

1324
01:07:30,920 --> 01:07:31,439
Speaker 7: You know what I'm saying.

1325
01:07:31,440 --> 01:07:34,120
Speaker 14: I've been on an zero to sixteen team and I've

1326
01:07:34,160 --> 01:07:35,640
Speaker 14: been to the super Bowl, you know what I'm saying.

1327
01:07:35,680 --> 01:07:38,160
Speaker 14: So I just understand that dichotomy where it's like there's

1328
01:07:38,200 --> 01:07:41,160
Speaker 14: just different things happening, and I think here's just you

1329
01:07:41,240 --> 01:07:43,840
Speaker 14: see the resiliency, you see the injuries that have happened

1330
01:07:43,880 --> 01:07:45,720
Speaker 14: and guys having to step up, and you know, play

1331
01:07:45,760 --> 01:07:48,160
Speaker 14: big and are playing big, and it's exciting, you know

1332
01:07:48,160 --> 01:07:50,760
Speaker 14: what I'm saying. And it's awesome to see that growth

1333
01:07:50,760 --> 01:07:53,440
Speaker 14: from development, especially with the young guys at such a

1334
01:07:53,480 --> 01:07:55,560
Speaker 14: young age. You know, you're thrown into fire and a

1335
01:07:55,600 --> 01:07:57,360
Speaker 14: lot of times you don't really know what's gonna happen.

1336
01:07:57,480 --> 01:07:59,919
Speaker 14: But when you're playing, you're playing well and you're making plays,

1337
01:08:00,080 --> 01:08:01,640
Speaker 14: you can build off that and I think that's special.

1338
01:08:01,920 --> 01:08:04,240
Speaker 4: So you've had some guys in your position group, the

1339
01:08:04,320 --> 01:08:07,360
Speaker 4: defensive line, tackles, defensive ends, a lot of guys in

1340
01:08:07,440 --> 01:08:10,240
Speaker 4: and out of the lineup, guys up, guys down, guys

1341
01:08:10,280 --> 01:08:13,800
Speaker 4: playing hurt as they always do. How many guys are

1342
01:08:13,840 --> 01:08:16,120
Speaker 4: in your defensive line room. If all those guys show up,

1343
01:08:16,120 --> 01:08:21,960
Speaker 4: there's like twenty five guys, is right, It's like kindergarten class, right,

1344
01:08:23,040 --> 01:08:25,720
Speaker 4: it really is, it is, right. I mean usually a

1345
01:08:25,760 --> 01:08:27,400
Speaker 4: lot of back in the day, there was like six

1346
01:08:27,520 --> 01:08:31,519
Speaker 4: guys in the room. Yeah, it's not like that now, right,

1347
01:08:31,560 --> 01:08:34,320
Speaker 4: I mean practice squad, practice squad dudes.

1348
01:08:34,520 --> 01:08:36,280
Speaker 14: Yeah, I mean it is different.

1349
01:08:36,360 --> 01:08:38,680
Speaker 4: All the injuries and guys waiting to get back active.

1350
01:08:38,479 --> 01:08:41,360
Speaker 14: And yeah, that is the kind of the revolving door

1351
01:08:41,439 --> 01:08:42,720
Speaker 14: of it. But at the end of the day, you know,

1352
01:08:43,320 --> 01:08:45,360
Speaker 14: it's like it's football, you know what I'm saying, And

1353
01:08:45,640 --> 01:08:47,760
Speaker 14: there is a business aspect of it, and you see

1354
01:08:47,840 --> 01:08:50,040
Speaker 14: that from time and time again. But as you know,

1355
01:08:50,120 --> 01:08:51,920
Speaker 14: people come in, you just open them. You to welcome

1356
01:08:51,960 --> 01:08:54,040
Speaker 14: them with open arms, you know what I'm saying, because

1357
01:08:54,360 --> 01:08:57,680
Speaker 14: everybody has a story and everybody's story matters, so you know,

1358
01:08:57,960 --> 01:09:00,080
Speaker 14: you bring them in, they come into the fold, and

1359
01:09:00,240 --> 01:09:02,439
Speaker 14: we're all working towards a singular goal and that's you know,

1360
01:09:02,800 --> 01:09:05,040
Speaker 14: get a championship. So it's going one to know each

1361
01:09:05,080 --> 01:09:06,600
Speaker 14: and every weekend, you know, being the best that we

1362
01:09:06,600 --> 01:09:06,840
Speaker 14: can be.

1363
01:09:07,040 --> 01:09:10,360
Speaker 2: You already mentioned how the young guys are stepping up

1364
01:09:10,400 --> 01:09:14,200
Speaker 2: We've seen that, particularly in the secondary, you know, with Max,

1365
01:09:14,800 --> 01:09:17,600
Speaker 2: with Cole, even with Jordan Hancock, who's getting on the

1366
01:09:17,640 --> 01:09:21,559
Speaker 2: field now some how. What have you found in your

1367
01:09:21,840 --> 01:09:24,240
Speaker 2: time in the league. You know, as a grizzled veteran

1368
01:09:25,520 --> 01:09:28,760
Speaker 2: works because every guy is different, I understand. But when

1369
01:09:28,920 --> 01:09:33,280
Speaker 2: young players move into important roles, what is the best

1370
01:09:33,360 --> 01:09:37,120
Speaker 2: way for veteran teammates to support those guys. You don't

1371
01:09:37,120 --> 01:09:38,720
Speaker 2: want to make them feel like they've got it all

1372
01:09:38,800 --> 01:09:41,240
Speaker 2: figured out, so they're minding their p's and q's, but

1373
01:09:41,280 --> 01:09:42,439
Speaker 2: at the same time, you want.

1374
01:09:42,320 --> 01:09:45,439
Speaker 3: To lift them up so they can reach their full potential.

1375
01:09:45,520 --> 01:09:47,960
Speaker 3: How you handle support?

1376
01:09:48,120 --> 01:09:50,000
Speaker 14: You know what I'm saying that you understand we're all human,

1377
01:09:50,200 --> 01:09:52,160
Speaker 14: you know, and nothing is ever perfect, you know what

1378
01:09:52,160 --> 01:09:54,840
Speaker 14: I'm saying. I think just you know, sharing your story,

1379
01:09:54,960 --> 01:09:57,400
Speaker 14: sharing your perspective, I think is is huge, you know

1380
01:09:57,439 --> 01:09:59,680
Speaker 14: what I'm saying. And you know, the certain things that

1381
01:09:59,760 --> 01:10:01,640
Speaker 14: you you've went through as a player, you may have

1382
01:10:01,760 --> 01:10:03,479
Speaker 14: not understood why you went through them, but it may

1383
01:10:03,560 --> 01:10:05,200
Speaker 14: be to help somebody, you know, along the way. And

1384
01:10:05,280 --> 01:10:07,240
Speaker 14: I feel as though, you know, just talking to different

1385
01:10:07,280 --> 01:10:08,920
Speaker 14: guys and you know, kind of picking their brains, you

1386
01:10:09,040 --> 01:10:11,280
Speaker 14: understand that like there is a uniqueness, you know what

1387
01:10:11,280 --> 01:10:12,960
Speaker 14: I'm saying. The league is a lot different now than

1388
01:10:13,000 --> 01:10:16,000
Speaker 14: it was before. But just understanding how you can be

1389
01:10:16,040 --> 01:10:17,960
Speaker 14: a helping hand and you know, like like uplift and

1390
01:10:18,040 --> 01:10:19,600
Speaker 14: let them know that you don't have to have it

1391
01:10:19,640 --> 01:10:20,439
Speaker 14: all figured out right now.

1392
01:10:20,520 --> 01:10:21,200
Speaker 7: It is a process.

1393
01:10:21,320 --> 01:10:23,080
Speaker 14: There is a learning curve, you know what I'm saying, Like,

1394
01:10:23,520 --> 01:10:25,560
Speaker 14: enjoy the moment, you know, trust your keys and go

1395
01:10:25,600 --> 01:10:27,680
Speaker 14: play football, you know what I'm saying. And once they

1396
01:10:27,800 --> 01:10:29,880
Speaker 14: understand it, obviously, you know, there's a little bit of

1397
01:10:29,920 --> 01:10:32,200
Speaker 14: an anxiety, there's a little bit of nervousness all but

1398
01:10:32,240 --> 01:10:34,320
Speaker 14: that's all normal, you know, I say everybody has experienced

1399
01:10:34,360 --> 01:10:36,560
Speaker 14: that when they're going into a new you want to

1400
01:10:36,600 --> 01:10:38,360
Speaker 14: go out, you want to perform, you want to do well,

1401
01:10:38,560 --> 01:10:40,120
Speaker 14: all this kind of thing. That's not to say it's

1402
01:10:40,120 --> 01:10:42,360
Speaker 14: always going to be perfect, but just understand that there

1403
01:10:42,439 --> 01:10:45,200
Speaker 14: is a process and just continue to find consistency and

1404
01:10:45,280 --> 01:10:47,680
Speaker 14: your routeam in your process and everything to work at

1405
01:10:47,680 --> 01:10:48,400
Speaker 14: the way it's supposed to.

1406
01:10:48,600 --> 01:10:53,800
Speaker 4: So you've played in Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, now Buffalo. Yeah,

1407
01:10:54,080 --> 01:10:56,320
Speaker 4: and so you've been a part of and like you said,

1408
01:10:56,360 --> 01:10:57,600
Speaker 4: you've been to the Super Bowl and he've been on

1409
01:10:57,640 --> 01:11:02,000
Speaker 4: an Own sixteen team, You've you've been spectrum right when

1410
01:11:02,040 --> 01:11:03,800
Speaker 4: you go to one team for another. And as you

1411
01:11:03,880 --> 01:11:05,680
Speaker 4: look back on all those teams, I'm sure there were

1412
01:11:05,880 --> 01:11:08,919
Speaker 4: positives and negatives in every experience, even the Own sixteen

1413
01:11:09,479 --> 01:11:13,879
Speaker 4: certainly the Super Bowl years. What is because every football

1414
01:11:13,880 --> 01:11:16,080
Speaker 4: team kind of looks the same on the field, but

1415
01:11:16,240 --> 01:11:20,200
Speaker 4: you know, you've experienced how different franchises can be. What's

1416
01:11:20,280 --> 01:11:23,840
Speaker 4: the most different thing about franchises in general? Do you think?

1417
01:11:24,080 --> 01:11:26,439
Speaker 4: You know, obviously the locker room and the players are different.

1418
01:11:26,479 --> 01:11:29,439
Speaker 14: I'd say the locker room, the players, and just kind

1419
01:11:29,439 --> 01:11:31,040
Speaker 14: of just how they ran, you know what I'm saying,

1420
01:11:31,120 --> 01:11:34,080
Speaker 14: Like certain organizations are more like more chill, you know

1421
01:11:34,080 --> 01:11:36,280
Speaker 14: what I'm saying that you you have a little more

1422
01:11:36,439 --> 01:11:38,559
Speaker 14: like the operations a little different. You have a little

1423
01:11:38,560 --> 01:11:41,000
Speaker 14: more freedom and more a little more i want to say, militant,

1424
01:11:41,080 --> 01:11:43,680
Speaker 14: but more like just structure in a way it workructure

1425
01:11:43,880 --> 01:11:47,880
Speaker 14: more times, you know, Like I feel like every place

1426
01:11:47,920 --> 01:11:50,639
Speaker 14: has a different you know, philosophy, you know what I'm saying,

1427
01:11:50,680 --> 01:11:52,720
Speaker 14: They have a different person at the head, and that

1428
01:11:52,800 --> 01:11:56,160
Speaker 14: philosophy shines through. So whether it's a more serious no

1429
01:11:56,280 --> 01:11:59,120
Speaker 14: whereas more you know, I wouldn't say relaxed, but you know,

1430
01:11:59,360 --> 01:12:03,200
Speaker 14: just a more like balance work life thing. It's it's

1431
01:12:03,240 --> 01:12:05,040
Speaker 14: differently unique, but at the same time, I feel like

1432
01:12:05,400 --> 01:12:08,000
Speaker 14: when you go to different places, you have a unique perspective,

1433
01:12:08,040 --> 01:12:09,240
Speaker 14: you know what I'm saying. And at the end of

1434
01:12:09,240 --> 01:12:11,000
Speaker 14: the day, it's still football. You still got to practice,

1435
01:12:11,000 --> 01:12:12,720
Speaker 14: still got meetings, you say, I walk through all those

1436
01:12:12,800 --> 01:12:14,720
Speaker 14: kinds of things. So it's kind of just finding your

1437
01:12:14,760 --> 01:12:16,920
Speaker 14: space in those different routines and then kind of just

1438
01:12:17,000 --> 01:12:17,639
Speaker 14: bringing them together.

1439
01:12:18,000 --> 01:12:20,360
Speaker 2: Time now for this week's tim Bits time Out, presented

1440
01:12:20,400 --> 01:12:22,639
Speaker 2: by of course Tim Horton's where we have the fans

1441
01:12:22,800 --> 01:12:25,960
Speaker 2: ask Bills players a unique question. This one comes from

1442
01:12:26,000 --> 01:12:29,200
Speaker 2: Why Higgins, who, much like Steve mentionin, you played for

1443
01:12:29,280 --> 01:12:31,880
Speaker 2: the Brown, Steelers and Bengals and now the Bills. Do

1444
01:12:32,000 --> 01:12:38,080
Speaker 2: you enjoy playing in cold weather places? Well, yeah, I

1445
01:12:38,120 --> 01:12:39,719
Speaker 2: mean you're up North Carolina.

1446
01:12:39,760 --> 01:12:41,080
Speaker 14: I grew up in I was born in Jersey and

1447
01:12:41,080 --> 01:12:42,680
Speaker 14: then I grew up in North Carolina, and so in

1448
01:12:42,760 --> 01:12:45,160
Speaker 14: North Carolina is awesome because you get all the seasons,

1449
01:12:45,200 --> 01:12:47,439
Speaker 14: you know what I'm saying. So when I got to Cleveland,

1450
01:12:47,960 --> 01:12:49,479
Speaker 14: you know, and I had to experience, like the Lake

1451
01:12:49,520 --> 01:12:51,920
Speaker 14: Effect code and all that kind of stuff, and you

1452
01:12:52,040 --> 01:12:53,040
Speaker 14: just kind of get used to it, you know what

1453
01:12:53,040 --> 01:12:54,800
Speaker 14: I'm saying, And when you're moving around, it's not as

1454
01:12:54,840 --> 01:12:57,320
Speaker 14: bad as I usually feel bad for like my friends

1455
01:12:57,360 --> 01:12:58,920
Speaker 14: and family that comes to the games and stuff like that,

1456
01:12:58,920 --> 01:13:01,519
Speaker 14: because you're just you know what I'm saying. But if

1457
01:13:01,520 --> 01:13:03,160
Speaker 14: you're moving around and all that kind of stuff, you

1458
01:13:03,240 --> 01:13:05,040
Speaker 14: kind of get used to it, so I don't really mind.

1459
01:13:05,120 --> 01:13:07,760
Speaker 14: I think the Coders game I played was I think

1460
01:13:07,800 --> 01:13:10,519
Speaker 14: in Pittsburgh when we played the Raiders on I think

1461
01:13:10,560 --> 01:13:13,240
Speaker 14: it was Christmas and it was like negative like fifteen

1462
01:13:13,320 --> 01:13:15,479
Speaker 14: or something like that. But other than that though, that

1463
01:13:15,600 --> 01:13:16,120
Speaker 14: was probably it.

1464
01:13:16,800 --> 01:13:19,000
Speaker 3: Layer up right, Yeah, Larry, thanks for the time.

1465

1468
01:13:28,600 --> 01:13:32,719
Speaker 2: post practice podium where Josh Allen is addressing the media.

1469
01:13:33,640 --> 01:13:37,200
Speaker 13: Baker wears two gloves golfing. So he's that type of guy.

1470
01:13:38,960 --> 01:13:42,680
Speaker 13: I love the guy. He's awesome, you know, kind of

1471
01:13:42,760 --> 01:13:45,400
Speaker 13: how his career has progressed and the adversity, he's fought

1472
01:13:45,479 --> 01:13:49,840
Speaker 13: through and playing some really, really dang good football right now.

1473
01:13:50,400 --> 01:13:52,320
Speaker 13: I'm a big fan of his. Anytime I get to

01:13:52,400 --> 01:13:54,719
Speaker 13: watch games, I'm watching what he what he does, because

1475
01:13:54,720 --> 01:13:55,880
Speaker 13: he's a he's very fun to watch.

1476
01:13:58,800 --> 01:14:04,240
Speaker 7: Losing job take the job confer But this guy.

1477
01:14:06,840 --> 01:14:08,880
Speaker 13: Well, I mean, I don't think it matters what anybody thinks,

1478
01:14:08,920 --> 01:14:12,519
Speaker 13: but he was extremely confident. He I've always thought he's

1479
01:14:12,520 --> 01:14:15,000
Speaker 13: an absolute baller, you know, and he's proved that time

1480
01:14:15,040 --> 01:14:17,599
Speaker 13: and time again from the college level till now. And uh,

1481
01:14:18,280 --> 01:14:20,879
Speaker 13: you know, he's Ah, he's one of the best quarterbacks

1482
01:14:20,880 --> 01:14:21,280
Speaker 13: in the league.

1483
01:14:22,160 --> 01:14:24,840
Speaker 14: You want to play, HOLLI forts gonna light be to

1484
01:14:24,920 --> 01:14:26,000
Speaker 14: your passing game right now.

1485
01:14:26,400 --> 01:14:28,000
Speaker 13: Yeah, I mean, I think he adds a lot of juice.

1486
01:14:28,200 --> 01:14:31,240
Speaker 13: It's what we got going on. Very crisp rout runner.

1487
01:14:31,280 --> 01:14:33,280
Speaker 13: And you know, anytime we can get him involved in

1488
01:14:33,360 --> 01:14:35,479
Speaker 13: the the offense, it's gonna be a good thing for us.

1489
01:14:35,560 --> 01:14:38,920
Speaker 13: So hopefully he progresses well this week and we can

1490
01:14:38,920 --> 01:14:40,599
Speaker 13: get him backut in the field making place for us.

1491
01:14:43,479 --> 01:14:43,919
Speaker 7: Positions.

1492
01:14:45,520 --> 01:14:47,599
Speaker 13: I mean, I think it's gonna take everybody. I think

1493
01:14:47,680 --> 01:14:52,880
Speaker 13: Josh will help fill that void. You know, that's you know,

1494
01:14:53,000 --> 01:14:55,360
Speaker 13: Dalton's gonna be tough to replace in terms of that.

1495
01:14:55,520 --> 01:14:57,760
Speaker 13: But yeah, I mean it's gonna take everybody to step

1496
01:14:57,840 --> 01:14:59,880
Speaker 13: up and make plays. It's gonna take you know, Doss

1497
01:15:00,040 --> 01:15:01,680
Speaker 13: than Haw stepping up and making plays, which I know

1498
01:15:01,720 --> 01:15:03,479
Speaker 13: they're extremely capable of doing. I got a lot of

1499
01:15:03,520 --> 01:15:06,760
Speaker 13: trust in both those guys, and ultimately, you know, coming

1500
01:15:06,840 --> 01:15:12,840
Speaker 13: down to Sunday executing at a high level really quickly. Again,

1501
01:15:12,920 --> 01:15:17,400
Speaker 13: it's it sucks losing, you know, but knowing in the

1502
01:15:17,680 --> 01:15:19,640
Speaker 13: losses this year that we've you know, we've turned the

1503
01:15:19,680 --> 01:15:23,040
Speaker 13: ball over and that's that's pointing the thumb exit directly

1504
01:15:23,080 --> 01:15:25,400
Speaker 13: at myself and knowing that if if we take care

1505
01:15:25,400 --> 01:15:27,000
Speaker 13: of the football and take care of what we're supposed to,

1506
01:15:27,120 --> 01:15:30,040
Speaker 13: we're we're daying good football team and making sure that

1507
01:15:30,120 --> 01:15:33,439
Speaker 13: we remember that and realize that. And you know, turnovers

1508
01:15:33,439 --> 01:15:35,200
Speaker 13: are part of the game. They're gonna happen, but you know,

1509
01:15:35,320 --> 01:15:37,800
Speaker 13: limiting them and and doing whatever we can to make

1510
01:15:37,840 --> 01:15:40,760
Speaker 13: sure that we're doing everything in our power to end

1511
01:15:40,800 --> 01:15:44,920
Speaker 13: every driving a kick. So yeah, you know, it's there's

1512
01:15:44,920 --> 01:15:47,160
Speaker 13: another opportunity this week to to go out there making plays.

1513
01:15:48,160 --> 01:15:50,160
Speaker 13: Watched it pretty quickly just inside the locker room.

1514
01:15:50,240 --> 01:15:51,160
Speaker 7: No, it's early in the week.

1515
01:15:51,240 --> 01:15:53,880
Speaker 13: But have you sense that kind of same mentality in

1516
01:15:53,960 --> 01:15:56,320
Speaker 13: the locker room. I think so yeah. I think uh,

1517
01:15:56,479 --> 01:15:59,040
Speaker 13: you know, with the vets in this locker room and

1518
01:15:59,040 --> 01:16:00,960
Speaker 13: the leadership that we have out of just making sure

1519
01:16:01,000 --> 01:16:04,160
Speaker 13: that hey, let's wash it, let's let's get back on track,

1520
01:16:04,280 --> 01:16:07,120
Speaker 13: let's have a good week of practice. You know, this

1521
01:16:07,240 --> 01:16:09,559
Speaker 13: is a really good Buccaneers team that we're playing on Sunday,

1522
01:16:09,560 --> 01:16:12,320
Speaker 13: and we need to understand that. And again, every every

1523
01:16:12,360 --> 01:16:14,240
Speaker 13: week is hard in the NFL. It's gonna take everything

1524
01:16:14,280 --> 01:16:17,080
Speaker 13: that we've got each each and every given week. And

1525
01:16:17,160 --> 01:16:18,760
Speaker 13: no different this week. This is the biggest game that

1526
01:16:18,800 --> 01:16:19,439
Speaker 13: we got all season.

1527
01:16:20,360 --> 01:16:22,840
Speaker 8: Their high blitz straight team. You saw one of these

1528
01:16:22,920 --> 01:16:24,479
Speaker 8: teams down in Atlanta.

1529
01:16:24,800 --> 01:16:28,200
Speaker 7: What do they do differently that you've already seen? Maybe

1530
01:16:28,240 --> 01:16:29,799
Speaker 7: what why is there blitz so effective?

1531
01:16:30,320 --> 01:16:31,640
Speaker 13: And I think the type of guys that they have,

1532
01:16:32,920 --> 01:16:34,519
Speaker 13: you know, there they got some guys that can rush

1533
01:16:34,560 --> 01:16:36,519
Speaker 13: the quarterback. Obviously they got beat to bay inside. Who

1534
01:16:37,240 --> 01:16:39,680
Speaker 13: makes it harsh for your into your offensive linemen to

1535
01:16:40,040 --> 01:16:44,560
Speaker 13: hold their ground. He's you know, big, he's powerful. You know,

1536
01:16:44,960 --> 01:16:46,960
Speaker 13: they do a good job in the run game. So

1537
01:16:47,960 --> 01:16:49,439
Speaker 13: and then in the back end, they got some some

1538
01:16:49,560 --> 01:16:51,479
Speaker 13: corners that will get up there and precious some longer

1539
01:16:51,560 --> 01:16:54,120
Speaker 13: guys that can run and they make it tough. They

1540
01:16:54,320 --> 01:16:57,519
Speaker 13: showed a lot of different looks, but again coming down

1541
01:16:57,560 --> 01:16:59,960
Speaker 13: to executing and making sure we're having a good practice

1542
01:17:00,960 --> 01:17:03,000
Speaker 13: watching what we need to watch and make an in

1543
01:17:03,080 --> 01:17:08,840
Speaker 13: game adjustments is as quickly as we can. On Sunday, Josh.

1544
01:17:09,240 --> 01:17:11,720
Speaker 5: Mikole hartin being signed practice squad, I know he just

1545
01:17:11,760 --> 01:17:14,200
Speaker 5: got here. Just initial impressions and kind of what goes

1546
01:17:14,200 --> 01:17:15,640
Speaker 5: into getting on the same page.

1547
01:17:15,520 --> 01:17:15,920
Speaker 4: With a guy.

1548
01:17:16,600 --> 01:17:21,200
Speaker 13: Yeah, just body language, talking through different routes and honestly

1549
01:17:21,560 --> 01:17:24,479
Speaker 13: just getting a few throws here or there throughout practice

1550
01:17:24,520 --> 01:17:27,840
Speaker 13: if there's some downtime. So yeah, just making sure I

1551
01:17:27,880 --> 01:17:29,640
Speaker 13: get a good feel of his body language, how he

1552
01:17:29,720 --> 01:17:31,200
Speaker 13: talks to the quarterback.

1553
01:17:32,000 --> 01:17:35,080
Speaker 9: Out there, that he has. This has become a run

1554
01:17:35,240 --> 01:17:39,280
Speaker 9: first offense. That defense is shut down and change that.

1555
01:17:39,560 --> 01:17:41,560
Speaker 9: You guys can't seem to punch your way out of

1556
01:17:41,640 --> 01:17:42,760
Speaker 9: it with the past game.

1557
01:17:43,120 --> 01:17:45,160
Speaker 3: How do you address how do you what is.

1558
01:17:45,160 --> 01:17:46,799
Speaker 9: Your view on that perception?

1559
01:17:51,560 --> 01:17:54,160
Speaker 13: I mean, offenses are are always going to be easier

1560
01:17:54,160 --> 01:17:56,680
Speaker 13: when you're running the ball effectively, and it's gonna open

1561
01:17:56,720 --> 01:18:00,760
Speaker 13: a lot, a lot more for your offense. But yeah,

1562
01:18:00,840 --> 01:18:02,479
Speaker 13: and we gotta we gotta be better in the past game.

1563
01:18:02,560 --> 01:18:02,840
Speaker 4: We know that.

1564
01:18:03,000 --> 01:18:05,840
Speaker 13: I know that, but I definitely think, you know, we're

1565
01:18:05,880 --> 01:18:07,800
Speaker 13: more than capable of being able to do that.

1566
01:18:09,920 --> 01:18:12,240
Speaker 2: Brian Dabe losing his job, I know he Gus had

1567
01:18:12,240 --> 01:18:13,320
Speaker 2: a really good relationship.

1568
01:18:13,600 --> 01:18:18,320
Speaker 13: Yeah, I love the guy. You know, I'm it's the league.

1569
01:18:18,320 --> 01:18:21,120
Speaker 13: It's kind of that's how it happens. But you know,

1570
01:18:21,160 --> 01:18:23,720
Speaker 13: I know, I know how Coach Table will react to this,

1571
01:18:23,840 --> 01:18:27,479
Speaker 13: and you know he'll be better for it and from it. Yeah,

1572
01:18:27,479 --> 01:18:29,160
Speaker 13: I still got a lot of love for for Coach Table.

1573
01:18:29,200 --> 01:18:32,799
Speaker 7: And yeah, if you were.

1574
01:18:32,680 --> 01:18:35,640
Speaker 9: Fucked up on speak interactions you had with Paper in

1575
01:18:35,880 --> 01:18:37,960
Speaker 9: twenty eighteen and Pepleague, Yeah.

1576
01:18:37,840 --> 01:18:40,439
Speaker 13: We're at the Senior Bowl together. He wasn't at the draft,

1577
01:18:41,960 --> 01:18:43,800
Speaker 13: but yeah, spent spent some time at the Senior Bowl

1578
01:18:43,840 --> 01:18:46,920
Speaker 13: with each other and you know, gotten to be around

1579
01:18:47,000 --> 01:18:49,440
Speaker 13: him a few other times, went golf in this last offseason,

1580
01:18:49,520 --> 01:18:52,559
Speaker 13: and you know, he's just me and him, I think

1581
01:18:52,600 --> 01:18:57,800
Speaker 13: are fairly similar in our love for movie quotes, which

1582
01:18:57,920 --> 01:19:01,240
Speaker 13: that's that's what we really bond over. But yeah, he's

1583
01:19:01,280 --> 01:19:05,400
Speaker 13: a he's a fun guy to be around, he said,

1584
01:19:05,479 --> 01:19:09,200
Speaker 13: is he not a golfer? Who's the better golfer? I mean,

1585
01:19:09,240 --> 01:19:13,400
Speaker 13: if you got to ask, now, we were, we were

1586
01:19:13,439 --> 01:19:16,320
Speaker 13: on the same team. We we we had a big

1587
01:19:16,479 --> 01:19:19,240
Speaker 13: match this offseason. We're on the same team and we

1588
01:19:19,360 --> 01:19:21,080
Speaker 13: took home the trophy, so that's all that matters. So

1589
01:19:21,120 --> 01:19:22,080
Speaker 13: we were pulling for each other.

1590
01:19:23,120 --> 01:19:25,439
Speaker 7: Of the two, even if you're on the same team.

1591
01:19:25,760 --> 01:19:27,600
Speaker 13: Well, I mean, if you look at you know, we

1592
01:19:27,720 --> 01:19:32,080
Speaker 13: played that uh the American Century Championship, you can you

1593
01:19:32,120 --> 01:19:35,560
Speaker 13: can look at the results there. But I'll tell you what,

1594
01:19:35,680 --> 01:19:38,479
Speaker 13: there's no one more fun to play with than Baker Mayfield.

1595
01:19:39,680 --> 01:19:43,360
Speaker 9: I mean, everybody knows about your competitive drive. I mean

1596
01:19:43,720 --> 01:19:46,320
Speaker 9: the competitive drive between you two. How similar is that?

1597
01:19:47,040 --> 01:19:48,719
Speaker 7: Do you do you see it as being similar?

1598
01:19:49,880 --> 01:19:52,880
Speaker 13: I mean, I think so. At the same time, I

1599
01:19:52,920 --> 01:19:57,280
Speaker 13: think again, I think we've got a friendly enough relationship

1600
01:19:57,320 --> 01:19:59,360
Speaker 13: where we let the guard down and can joke around

1601
01:19:59,400 --> 01:20:00,840
Speaker 13: and hang out with the each other and not really

1602
01:20:00,880 --> 01:20:03,040
Speaker 13: worry about all that. And again, we were on the

1603
01:20:03,080 --> 01:20:06,439
Speaker 13: same team this offseason in our our match, so we

1604
01:20:06,560 --> 01:20:07,400
Speaker 13: were pulling for each other.

1605
01:20:09,400 --> 01:20:11,680
Speaker 10: Confidence and Joe Brady and you know, being able to

1606
01:20:11,760 --> 01:20:14,120
Speaker 10: turn around some of the issues with the offense.

1607
01:20:14,200 --> 01:20:16,320
Speaker 6: Just where do you get your relationships with Joe and

1608
01:20:16,360 --> 01:20:18,040
Speaker 6: your confidence and play calling?

1609
01:20:18,280 --> 01:20:20,280
Speaker 13: Yeah, I mean, I'm extremely confident. Again, it comes down

1610
01:20:20,320 --> 01:20:22,280
Speaker 13: to the end of the day, protecting the football and

1611
01:20:23,000 --> 01:20:26,960
Speaker 13: the loving guys on the field executing. Extremely confident in Joe,

1612
01:20:27,360 --> 01:20:29,639
Speaker 13: love him like a brother, He's a He's been awesome

1613
01:20:29,680 --> 01:20:30,240
Speaker 13: for my career.

1614
01:20:30,320 --> 01:20:33,799
Speaker 7: And yeah, in the past.

1615
01:20:33,640 --> 01:20:37,360
Speaker 12: Before, what you've gone through, struggles that shooters shoot, that

1616
01:20:37,439 --> 01:20:40,519
Speaker 12: you're gonna keep shooting, how do you go make sure

1617
01:20:40,520 --> 01:20:43,120
Speaker 12: you're not forcing anything like you talked about turnovers.

1618
01:20:43,120 --> 01:20:44,599
Speaker 13: How do you feel how do you fight a way

1619
01:20:44,600 --> 01:20:46,400
Speaker 13: to out the press why it's not working.

1620
01:20:46,479 --> 01:20:49,000
Speaker 7: We'll also say, hey, keep shooting from.

1621
01:20:49,080 --> 01:20:52,000
Speaker 13: Yeah, I mean, I would think relying on again the

1622
01:20:52,040 --> 01:20:54,040
Speaker 13: play calls, relying on your teammates, and then relying on

1623
01:20:54,880 --> 01:20:56,960
Speaker 13: what I've done in the past and how I felt

1624
01:20:57,000 --> 01:21:01,080
Speaker 13: certain things and fought through certain things. So you know,

1625
01:21:01,800 --> 01:21:04,000
Speaker 13: I feel like we've been in similar positions to what

1626
01:21:04,080 --> 01:21:05,599
Speaker 13: we are right now, and I feel like we've been

1627
01:21:06,200 --> 01:21:09,439
Speaker 13: worse off in some some positions and been been able

1628
01:21:09,439 --> 01:21:13,320
Speaker 13: to fight through some adversity. So again, just trusting, trusting

1629
01:21:13,320 --> 01:21:14,479
Speaker 13: the guys in locker room, going out there and just

1630
01:21:14,520 --> 01:21:15,600
Speaker 13: trying to make some places.

1631
01:21:16,000 --> 01:21:19,479
Speaker 9: Those worse off points going into the Tampa game. Had

1632
01:21:19,560 --> 01:21:22,879
Speaker 9: Tampa against Tom Brady, the overtime game where.

1633
01:21:23,120 --> 01:21:24,760
Speaker 7: You kind of we get to six and six or

1634
01:21:24,800 --> 01:21:26,920
Speaker 7: six and five at that point something like that. Yeah,

1635
01:21:26,960 --> 01:21:28,400
Speaker 7: I mean that was that.

1636
01:21:28,760 --> 01:21:30,920
Speaker 13: We feel like we found ourselves at that point on

1637
01:21:31,080 --> 01:21:33,280
Speaker 13: that second half and used a lot of momentum from

1638
01:21:33,280 --> 01:21:37,280
Speaker 13: that game the rest of the year. Now again that's

1639
01:21:38,040 --> 01:21:40,920
Speaker 13: we're not there. All we're trying to do is go

1640
01:21:40,960 --> 01:21:45,160
Speaker 13: one and this week, Hey, guess all.

1641
01:21:45,120 --> 01:21:48,360
Speaker 2: Right, that's Josh Allen addressing the media and wants to

1642
01:21:48,400 --> 01:21:51,600
Speaker 2: get right back on task. Admits there are things to

1643
01:21:51,680 --> 01:21:54,280
Speaker 2: fix in the passing game. So I thought that was interesting.

1644
01:21:57,320 --> 01:21:59,479
Speaker 2: He knows they're coming off a season low in points.

1645
01:22:00,560 --> 01:22:03,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's gonna raise red flags.

1646
01:22:03,720 --> 01:22:06,040
Speaker 4: And they're playing a much better or a much more

1647
01:22:06,560 --> 01:22:10,559
Speaker 4: talented team, talented defense, and a much more complete football team.

1648
01:22:11,280 --> 01:22:13,760
Speaker 4: It's not just gonna be the offense has to show up.

1649
01:22:13,760 --> 01:22:15,160
Speaker 4: I mean, they've got to play a really good game

1650
01:22:15,200 --> 01:22:17,080
Speaker 4: against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to beat them. They're six

1651
01:22:17,160 --> 01:22:19,080
Speaker 4: and three coming in here. That both teams have identical

1652
01:22:19,160 --> 01:22:23,360
Speaker 4: records and they're both got aspirations on, you know, pulling

1653
01:22:23,400 --> 01:22:26,479
Speaker 4: out a victory and moving on towards a division title.

1654
01:22:26,720 --> 01:22:29,519
Speaker 4: Both teams have that in their sights. Bills fans, it

1655
01:22:29,600 --> 01:22:32,920
Speaker 4: feels more precarious because the team they're chasing doesn't look

1656
01:22:33,000 --> 01:22:35,120
Speaker 4: like it has any weaknesses at this point. They're really

1657
01:22:35,160 --> 01:22:39,800
Speaker 4: playing solid football and yeah they're hot, they're on a heater,

1658
01:22:40,240 --> 01:22:42,880
Speaker 4: so but the Bills are gonna keep chasing them and

1659
01:22:42,960 --> 01:22:45,320
Speaker 4: that these games you've got to win. You've got to win.

1660
01:22:45,720 --> 01:22:49,960
Speaker 4: I think this Miami game this last weekend, I've probably

1661
01:22:50,040 --> 01:22:51,880
Speaker 4: left a scar on them for this season. You know,

1662
01:22:51,960 --> 01:22:54,400
Speaker 4: they're gonna remember this for a minute, and it's probably

1663
01:22:54,439 --> 01:22:56,640
Speaker 4: gonna serve them well going forward. If if I know

1664
01:22:56,720 --> 01:22:59,160
Speaker 4: how football players are wired, and I think I do,

1665
01:22:59,360 --> 01:23:02,840
Speaker 4: these guys are. This doesn't mean they're automatically going to

1666
01:23:02,880 --> 01:23:04,960
Speaker 4: beat the Bucks or any by any stretch of the imagination,

1667
01:23:05,160 --> 01:23:08,599
Speaker 4: but they are gonna buckle up, I think, and uh

1668
01:23:08,720 --> 01:23:11,120
Speaker 4: and bring a best effort. We'll see how it turns out,

1669
01:23:11,160 --> 01:23:14,320
Speaker 4: but I think this is Miami game left to mark

1670
01:23:14,720 --> 01:23:15,280
Speaker 4: on this team.

1671
01:23:15,760 --> 01:23:18,600
Speaker 3: Let's go back to the phones and to Mike in Syracuse.

1672
01:23:18,640 --> 01:23:21,479
Speaker 3: What's up, Mike, Hi, Chris?

1673
01:23:21,560 --> 01:23:23,240
Speaker 6: I see thanks so much to take my car here

1674
01:23:23,320 --> 01:23:26,560
Speaker 6: you'vet uh. Just a quick thank you, Steve. It was

1675
01:23:26,560 --> 01:23:29,200
Speaker 6: a pleasure meeting last night and posing for a picture

1676
01:23:29,240 --> 01:23:31,760
Speaker 6: with a couple of my family members, and your kind

1677
01:23:31,840 --> 01:23:33,680
Speaker 6: words about one of our other family members. We really

1678
01:23:33,760 --> 01:23:37,280
Speaker 6: appreciated it. Sure, I just had a quick I just

1679
01:23:37,360 --> 01:23:39,559
Speaker 6: had a quick comment about the topic of the day.

1680
01:23:40,280 --> 01:23:42,880
Speaker 6: I just wanted to kind of address the miscommunication problems

1681
01:23:42,920 --> 01:23:44,960
Speaker 6: that we've kind of have between Josh and the receivers.

1682
01:23:45,680 --> 01:23:47,960
Speaker 6: I feel like it was kind of especially a parent

1683
01:23:48,520 --> 01:23:52,720
Speaker 6: and our and our three losses, just people knocket into

1684
01:23:52,760 --> 01:23:55,280
Speaker 6: their spots and Josh making quick throws to open spaces

1685
01:23:55,320 --> 01:23:58,000
Speaker 6: where people he thought they would be or where they

1686
01:23:58,040 --> 01:24:00,280
Speaker 6: were supposed to be. Things among those lines, I'm notice

1687
01:24:00,320 --> 01:24:03,160
Speaker 6: a few of those you know shavers some more the

1688
01:24:03,280 --> 01:24:06,000
Speaker 6: key on things like that. I think that's a definite

1689
01:24:06,240 --> 01:24:09,200
Speaker 6: uh issue that I'm hoping that they can address. You

1690
01:24:09,240 --> 01:24:13,080
Speaker 6: guys can correct me if I'm wrong, obviously, and I

1691
01:24:13,240 --> 01:24:16,680
Speaker 6: was hoping Steve, being a former receiver, if if you

1692
01:24:16,760 --> 01:24:18,600
Speaker 6: had any ways that they that the team you know

1693
01:24:18,680 --> 01:24:20,519
Speaker 6: would try to shore that up. So those guys are

1694
01:24:20,560 --> 01:24:23,360
Speaker 6: on the same page, just because I feel like, especially

1695
01:24:23,360 --> 01:24:26,160
Speaker 6: in the loss of those have you know, killed our

1696
01:24:26,280 --> 01:24:29,479
Speaker 6: drives and obviously ended in no points and just kind of,

1697
01:24:30,000 --> 01:24:32,640
Speaker 6: like you guys said earlier, updated our our upset, our

1698
01:24:32,680 --> 01:24:35,560
Speaker 6: rhythm and offense. And on top of that too, I

1699
01:24:35,600 --> 01:24:38,120
Speaker 6: think it's gonna be really important because you guys mentioned

1700
01:24:38,160 --> 01:24:41,599
Speaker 6: earlier that that the Bucks are a blitz heavy team,

1701
01:24:41,680 --> 01:24:43,160
Speaker 6: So I think Josh is gonna be looking to get

1702
01:24:43,240 --> 01:24:45,840
Speaker 6: rid of the boss quick a few times, and and

1703
01:24:45,920 --> 01:24:47,479
Speaker 6: the guys are gonna need to be at their spots,

1704
01:24:47,479 --> 01:24:50,479
Speaker 6: and I think the miscommunications between Josh and a couple

1705
01:24:50,520 --> 01:24:53,800
Speaker 6: of the receivers may may be troublesome if they don't

1706
01:24:53,800 --> 01:24:56,360
Speaker 6: get that fixed up. That's about all I got, and

1707
01:24:56,560 --> 01:24:58,439
Speaker 6: I appreciate you taking McCall and go bills.

1708
01:24:58,560 --> 01:24:59,320
Speaker 3: Yes, thanks Mike.

1709
01:25:00,320 --> 01:25:02,120
Speaker 2: We're not in the room, so I think it's hard

1710
01:25:02,200 --> 01:25:07,080
Speaker 2: to completely identify where the disconnect is happening. I mean,

1711
01:25:07,120 --> 01:25:10,200
Speaker 2: it could be anything from you know, Josh sees that

1712
01:25:10,280 --> 01:25:13,000
Speaker 2: the blitz is coming, calls the alert and then a

1713
01:25:13,080 --> 01:25:17,080
Speaker 2: receiver doesn't recognize they're the hot receiver and they don't

1714
01:25:17,080 --> 01:25:19,200
Speaker 2: break their route off shorter to help Josh get the

1715
01:25:19,280 --> 01:25:21,320
Speaker 2: ball out of his hand. Quicker, it's an incomplete pass

1716
01:25:21,360 --> 01:25:24,800
Speaker 2: and that's just one of a myriad of examples of

1717
01:25:24,920 --> 01:25:27,519
Speaker 2: what could be going wrong when we see the passing

1718
01:25:27,600 --> 01:25:30,639
Speaker 2: game look disjointed, and we did in the losses. As

1719
01:25:30,680 --> 01:25:34,000
Speaker 2: you pointed out, what can you want to answer the receiver, Well, the.

1720
01:25:34,000 --> 01:25:35,760
Speaker 4: Receiving part of it, A lot of it has to

1721
01:25:35,800 --> 01:25:39,280
Speaker 4: do with coaching, getting guys on hands on these guys

1722
01:25:39,320 --> 01:25:41,360
Speaker 4: and saying, listen, we've got to do better being in

1723
01:25:41,479 --> 01:25:46,880
Speaker 4: this spot on time after running this route. We've seen

1724
01:25:47,280 --> 01:25:50,120
Speaker 4: receivers come through the Bills organization, guys we really like,

1725
01:25:50,240 --> 01:25:53,519
Speaker 4: like Stevie Johnson. Stevie was really good at getting to

1726
01:25:53,600 --> 01:25:56,200
Speaker 4: the spot on time. He did it by running a

1727
01:25:56,280 --> 01:25:59,479
Speaker 4: completely unorthodox route and a different path to get there.

1728
01:25:59,560 --> 01:26:02,160
Speaker 4: But but he had a quarterback in Ryan Fitzpatrick who

1729
01:26:02,240 --> 01:26:05,599
Speaker 4: knew what he was doing, who understood him and trusted him.

1730
01:26:06,640 --> 01:26:08,320
Speaker 4: Get to the spot and I'm gonna throw it to

1731
01:26:08,400 --> 01:26:10,760
Speaker 4: you and get there by yourself. And Stevie was good

1732
01:26:10,800 --> 01:26:14,800
Speaker 4: at it, which is why corners sometimes, even the best ones,

1733
01:26:14,840 --> 01:26:18,040
Speaker 4: like Darryl Reevis, he used Stevie used to tie Darrell

1734
01:26:18,120 --> 01:26:22,479
Speaker 4: Reevs in knots because Revs knew the route Tree. Steve

1735
01:26:22,560 --> 01:26:26,760
Speaker 4: didn't run no route Tree he ran a bush right,

1736
01:26:26,840 --> 01:26:29,240
Speaker 4: he did whatever it was. Stevie got to a spot

1737
01:26:29,320 --> 01:26:31,120
Speaker 4: where an out route would have been, but he went

1738
01:26:31,160 --> 01:26:33,439
Speaker 4: an out up and come back to get to the

1739
01:26:33,479 --> 01:26:36,320
Speaker 4: same spot and he was there on time. That's why

1740
01:26:36,600 --> 01:26:39,800
Speaker 4: some corners really struggle with guys like that. This is

1741
01:26:39,880 --> 01:26:43,000
Speaker 4: a coaching issue and a player issue for the Bills

1742
01:26:43,040 --> 01:26:45,000
Speaker 4: if their receivers are not getting to the right spot

1743
01:26:45,080 --> 01:26:47,439
Speaker 4: or to where they're supposed to be, or not getting

1744
01:26:47,479 --> 01:26:51,559
Speaker 4: there alone. You got to drop the dB off somewhere

1745
01:26:51,760 --> 01:26:54,679
Speaker 4: and show up alone at the spot where the quarterback

1746
01:26:54,720 --> 01:26:57,519
Speaker 4: wants to have the football to you, and it's up

1747
01:26:57,560 --> 01:26:59,839
Speaker 4: to coaches to help him do that. Give them techniques,

1748
01:27:00,000 --> 01:27:01,680
Speaker 4: show them film of guys who are good at it.

1749
01:27:02,400 --> 01:27:05,559
Speaker 4: Copy those films, copy those moves, drill those moves, learn

1750
01:27:05,640 --> 01:27:08,920
Speaker 4: those techniques, and have your lights on so that before

1751
01:27:09,000 --> 01:27:12,919
Speaker 4: the snap you know exactly what technique and what route combination,

1752
01:27:13,400 --> 01:27:15,599
Speaker 4: what you're gonna do before the snap if you can.

1753
01:27:16,160 --> 01:27:19,080
Speaker 4: So there's a lot in it, and there's a lot

1754
01:27:19,120 --> 01:27:20,599
Speaker 4: of pre snap and a lot of stuff. You gotta

1755
01:27:20,600 --> 01:27:21,920
Speaker 4: have your lights on. You got to react in a

1756
01:27:22,000 --> 01:27:25,000
Speaker 4: split second. It's hard to do. It's hard. It's pro football,

1757
01:27:25,880 --> 01:27:27,880
Speaker 4: but that's some of the stuff they're looking at, some

1758
01:27:27,960 --> 01:27:30,320
Speaker 4: of the challenges they're facing. That's why they spend all

1759
01:27:30,400 --> 01:27:33,680
Speaker 4: day every day working on this stuff. But there's a

1760
01:27:33,720 --> 01:27:35,280
Speaker 4: lot of people in the building that are there to

1761
01:27:35,400 --> 01:27:37,400
Speaker 4: help them get to that point. And you know they

1762
01:27:37,479 --> 01:27:39,280
Speaker 4: never stop. I mean, they're gonna keep working on a

1763
01:27:39,360 --> 01:27:40,080
Speaker 4: day after day.

1764
01:27:40,479 --> 01:27:41,920
Speaker 2: Break time for us here, we'll see if we can

1765
01:27:41,960 --> 01:27:43,479
Speaker 2: squeeze a phone call in on the other side with

1766
01:27:43,640 --> 01:27:45,320
Speaker 2: the segment to go here on a Wednesday edition of

1767
01:27:45,360 --> 01:27:46,120
Speaker 2: One Bill's.

1768
01:27:45,800 --> 01:27:59,800
Speaker 3: Lives stay with us little tight on.

1769
01:28:00,040 --> 01:28:01,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm so can't take any more phone calls, but

1770
01:28:01,960 --> 01:28:04,360
Speaker 2: well will check the tweet sheet here quickly brought to

1771
01:28:04,360 --> 01:28:07,120
Speaker 2: you byck Corgan Moving Systems, official equipment moving company of

1772
01:28:07,120 --> 01:28:08,960
Speaker 2: the Buffalo Bills. What type of performance do you need

1773
01:28:09,000 --> 01:28:11,880
Speaker 2: to see from the vill's offense against the Bucks on Sunday?

1774
01:28:11,920 --> 01:28:14,960
Speaker 2: Willie says thirty eight points with Alan and Cook having

1775
01:28:15,120 --> 01:28:18,800
Speaker 2: monster games, all right, I wouldn't mind that, Rich says,

1776
01:28:18,920 --> 01:28:21,519
Speaker 2: one that doesn't look like every play is a struggle,

1777
01:28:21,960 --> 01:28:24,800
Speaker 2: one that can scheme guys open and utilizes our running

1778
01:28:24,840 --> 01:28:25,479
Speaker 2: backs more in.

1779
01:28:25,560 --> 01:28:26,280
Speaker 3: The passing game.

1780
01:28:26,680 --> 01:28:29,200
Speaker 2: I'd like to see those guys get more involved in

1781
01:28:29,280 --> 01:28:30,920
Speaker 2: the past game too. Haven't seen a wheel route in

1782
01:28:30,960 --> 01:28:34,840
Speaker 2: a while. Steve, Yeah, I'm I'm all for that. Getting

1783
01:28:34,840 --> 01:28:38,000
Speaker 2: the ball actually, if you're down receiving typical receiving weapons

1784
01:28:38,040 --> 01:28:38,960
Speaker 2: because the injury, it's.

1785
01:28:38,840 --> 01:28:40,360
Speaker 4: Kind of two things. It seems like we're getting in

1786
01:28:40,960 --> 01:28:42,760
Speaker 4: the extremes. We either getting the ball out of Josh

1787
01:28:42,800 --> 01:28:44,760
Speaker 4: Han's right now in those bubble screams, those quick things,

1788
01:28:44,920 --> 01:28:46,600
Speaker 4: or he drops back and holds it and holds it

1789
01:28:46,640 --> 01:28:49,479
Speaker 4: and holds runs around for him, runs around. I'd like

1790
01:28:49,520 --> 01:28:53,240
Speaker 4: to see him drop back one hitch step and let

1791
01:28:53,280 --> 01:28:55,680
Speaker 4: it rip, you know, down, you know, let it rip.

1792
01:28:57,200 --> 01:28:59,320
Speaker 4: I don't know, we'll see. I'm as long as they

1793
01:28:59,400 --> 01:29:01,560
Speaker 4: keep scoring point so I really don't care how it

1794
01:29:01,640 --> 01:29:04,360
Speaker 4: looks like that, you know, the forty point outing against Caroline.

1795
01:29:04,360 --> 01:29:05,200
Speaker 4: I'll take that all day.

1796
01:29:05,400 --> 01:29:05,599
Speaker 7: Yeah.

1797
01:29:06,240 --> 01:29:09,920
Speaker 2: Tony says, zero turnovers, that's all he wants. Steven says,

1798
01:29:09,960 --> 01:29:12,160
Speaker 2: I need to see josh Allen back to himself. I

1799
01:29:12,280 --> 01:29:14,519
Speaker 2: need Joe Brady to go back to what was working

1800
01:29:14,600 --> 01:29:16,040
Speaker 2: last year. And for the love of God, I need

1801
01:29:16,120 --> 01:29:19,120
Speaker 2: to see pressure on Mayfield. And Jacob says, more diverse

1802
01:29:19,200 --> 01:29:22,280
Speaker 2: throwing some eleven ten personnel, more bunch formations, with three

1803
01:29:22,360 --> 01:29:24,680
Speaker 2: to four receivers on one side like they did last year.

1804
01:29:24,960 --> 01:29:28,479
Speaker 2: Get more athletes on the field. Still use heavy personnel,

1805
01:29:28,760 --> 01:29:33,240
Speaker 2: but mix that in. We are done for today. We've

1806
01:29:33,320 --> 01:29:35,880
Speaker 2: got Thurman Thomas, the Hall of Famer, joining us in

1807
01:29:36,080 --> 01:29:38,720
Speaker 2: studio tomorrow for a Thursday edition of One Bill's Live.

1808
01:29:38,760 --> 01:29:39,360
Speaker 3: We'll see in One
