00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:48,559
Speaker 1: gonna have to wait a little longer to get there

6
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 1: since it's the four oh five start being out on

7
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 1: the left coast there, one of the longest trips of

8
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:54,320
Speaker 1: the season.

9
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 2: What time you guys leave town tomorrow?

10
00:00:57,920 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 1: I think it, believe it or not. I thought it

11
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:02,120
Speaker 1: was gonna be early. I think we're leaving right around

12
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 1: twelve thirty.

13
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 2: We gained three hours. Yeah, I mean, you're gonna get

14
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:06,319
Speaker 2: in now.

15
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 1: But it's a longer trip, right, And it's like, yes,

16
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:10,640
Speaker 1: you do, and it is.

17
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 2: It is a little bit of a drive from the

18
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 2: Seattle airport into downtown where you correct. So it's a

19
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 2: little bit of this. It's not like Denver Long, that is,

20
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 2: it's not like even Kansas City Long.

21
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 1: Denver's airport feels like it's in another state. Yeah, but

22
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 1: I'll say this, forty five minutes.

23
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:30,680
Speaker 2: Not as far as O'Hare is from downtown Chicago. Well,

24
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:32,320
Speaker 2: it might be as far, but it doesn't take as long.

25
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 2: The traffic's not as bad.

26
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:35,200
Speaker 1: That's fair.

27
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 2: So shall I go on with a mike You are

28
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 2: a well travel raveled, yeah, traveling, you're a season travel veteran. Yeah,

29
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 2: and it always goes faster when for those of you

30
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 2: don't know when the when NFL teams travel, it's the

31
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 2: old adage. You if you're goin to go, go first class.

32
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 2: They do.

33
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 1: I don't think I have ever flown first class in

34
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 1: my life.

35
00:01:56,600 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 2: No, but uh I have, and it is better than coach.

36
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 2: But I'm talking. I'm talking about when you got you

37
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 2: go to the airport, you don't there's no terminal and

38
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 2: there's security, of course, you know they they you just

39
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:12,519
Speaker 2: walk out. You climb on the airplane, you know, you

40
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 2: don't wait around and like cattle and you know, then

41
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 2: go through the shoot down to the air he's climb

42
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 2: on the airplane the.

43
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 1: Shoot just go to that called jetway.

44
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:23,640
Speaker 2: Then you get there and everybody just gets they get off.

45
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 2: They open up like every door on the aircraft. Everybody

46
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:28,639
Speaker 2: comes off at the same time. On the buses boom

47
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 2: right to the hotel is no there's no check in either.

48
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 2: At the hotel. You go in. They either envelope either

49
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 2: hand you or you pick up an envelope with your

50
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,239
Speaker 2: name on it. Presto change, Oh, go to your room,

51
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 2: No fuss, No, that's the only way to go.

52
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:44,359
Speaker 1: I'm telling you it is rather efficient.

53
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 2: There was a guy who you know, as some of

54
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:50,639
Speaker 2: the players are, who grew up in a rural setting.

55
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 2: We'll say, okay, not on airplanes much didn't Yeah, not

56
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 2: a yeah, not an urban world traveler, right, And the

57
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 2: first time he traveled was with his college football team,

58
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:02,360
Speaker 2: and then he the pro. He's a good player, played

59
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:03,960
Speaker 2: in the pros for a long career, so that's how

60
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 2: he traveled. So he gets to first time out.

61
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 1: He had never flown commercial.

62
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:10,679
Speaker 2: No, no, that's not the point that it's not the

63
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 2: commercial travel. He goes to the first time he's he's

64
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 2: in business. Now he was traveling. He gets to the hotel,

65
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 2: there's no envelope with his name on it, and he's like,

66
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:25,640
Speaker 2: what do I do? Do I go flip out on

67
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 2: this receptionist. I got it, you know what's going on.

68
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:31,519
Speaker 2: So he goes hees, let me take a deep bread,

69
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 2: let me just handle this with some hack. So he

70
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 2: kind of goes up and says hey, uh, and you know,

71
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 2: through like a five second conversation, he realized, Okay, cool,

72
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 2: I'm sad he had no idea how to check into

73
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 2: a hotel that he when he wasn't on a football team.

74
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 1: Wow, that's special.

75
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 2: It's all about you know, it's all it's all life

77
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 2: life experience. That's wild when uh.

78
00:03:56,680 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 1: It is an obl Friday fan mail bag where we

79
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 1: answer your most pressing bills and NFL questions. Eight h

80
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 1: three oh five point fifty one eighty eight five point

81
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 1: fifty two five fifty the numbers to join us, but

82
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 1: we have to first get to bills practice updates, which

83
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 1: are presented by leecom your Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine.

84
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:22,480
Speaker 1: And there is some not so good news concerning Buffalo's

85
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 1: roster and Sunday's game in terms of player availability. Linebacker

86
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 1: Terrell Bernard, defensive tackle to Wayne Carter, and wide receiver

87
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 1: Curtis Samuel all declared out for Sunday's game in Seattle.

88
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:39,279
Speaker 1: Making matters worse, Carter is going to be out multiple

89
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 1: weeks as his wrist injury is going to require surgery.

90
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:45,840
Speaker 1: No decision yet on whether they'll need to put Carter

91
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:49,159
Speaker 1: on injured reserve, which would mean a four week absence.

92
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 1: But he's going to miss this week, he'll undoubtedly miss

93
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 1: next week, maybe the week after that, and there.

94
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 2: See, it's even if it's the exact same injury that

95
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 2: Dawson Knox had last year. Remember had risk surgery too

96
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 2: and all that stuff.

97
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:03,040
Speaker 1: He was out for a while.

98
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 2: He was out for a long time. As a defensive

99
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 2: line you don't have got to catch the ball, and

100
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:17,040
Speaker 2: so he could probably play limited with a big brace

101
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 2: or club on his hand before a skill like a

102
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 2: tight end or running back could do it on offense

103
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 2: or even a corner. So there's a chance that just

104
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:28,600
Speaker 2: because of his position, he could come back a little

105
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 2: earlier than other team because they can they can make

106
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 2: sure it doesn't get hurt again. But you know, so

107
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 2: there's that possibility. We don't know exactly the specifics of it.

108
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 2: They never tell us that, but there is that on

109
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:41,840
Speaker 2: the outside of it. And they have not put him

110
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 2: on IR yet.

111
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:44,160
Speaker 3: So.

112
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:49,280
Speaker 1: Until he comes out of surgery, I kind of get

113
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 1: the feeling they have to get in there. See the

114
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:54,480
Speaker 1: extent of the damage repair whatever they need to repair,

115
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 1: and then they'll be able to better determine a prognosis

116
00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:01,480
Speaker 1: at that point. Maybe the last time, so the Bills

117
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:05,599
Speaker 1: now enter this game with only four receivers. The last

118
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:10,280
Speaker 1: time that happened, which was Khalil Shakir's absence in Week

119
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:15,040
Speaker 1: five at Houston, they elevated Tyrell Shavers from the practice squad,

120
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 1: who also helps them on special teams. He's a gunner

121
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 1: on punt team. The last time they needed a penetrating

122
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 1: defensive tackle, which was also Week five, they called up

123
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 1: Branson Dean from the practice squad, the rookie out of Miami.

124
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:32,920
Speaker 1: We'll see if those are the two elevations again this weekend.

125
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:37,720
Speaker 1: I am going to throw out a hypothesis knowing there

126
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 1: are only four healthy receivers, Steve, I think this could

127
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 1: be a week where James Cook gets a little more

128
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:44,280
Speaker 1: involved in the passing game.

129
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:50,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe there's Yeah, Shavers is the obvious candidate. You've

130
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:52,040
Speaker 2: got Jalen.

131
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 1: Virgil and kJ Hamler.

132
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:57,559
Speaker 2: And kJ Hamler. Shavers was the first guy up last

133
00:06:57,600 --> 00:06:59,159
Speaker 2: time this happened, As you mentioned, I.

134
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:02,840
Speaker 1: Don't know imarily due to what he does on special

135
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:03,839
Speaker 1: We've talked.

136
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:07,359
Speaker 2: Just here in this our callers and on social and

137
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 2: all of us out here outside the walls of the

138
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 2: locker room have thought, well, maybe Ray Davis and James

139
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 2: Cook on the field together. Yeah, well this does kind

140
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 2: of smooth smooth that path for that to happen, because

141
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 2: they do have to have a plan for the people

142
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 2: they've got available, and the best people have got available.

143
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 2: If you, if you go with that, Ray Davis and

144
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 2: James Cook have to qualify in that above that line, right, Cooper, Kincaid, Knox, Coleman, Shakir,

145
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 2: all of those are in the mix. So you've got

146
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 2: enough guys you would feel like you have enough weapons

147
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 2: to attack the Seahawk defense and win. How are you

148
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:00,200
Speaker 2: going to fill it in? And what are the those

149
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 2: guys gonna I and ask those guys to do. And

150
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 2: we've seen it too. And when they activate a player

151
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 2: from injured from the practice squad, usually not always particularly

152
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 2: on offense, Usually the guy gets a package of plays

153
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:17,679
Speaker 2: because they don't want to get caught having two guys

154
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 2: go down and have him a guy plug the guy

155
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 2: in and got nothing for him, So they'll plug the

156
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 2: guy in and have some plays for him for shavers

157
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 2: if he's in there for different combinations of personnel with

158
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 2: shavers in the line, that kind of stuff. They got

159
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 2: to be ready for that. They got to be ready

160
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 2: for that because if you say, well, it's not gonna

161
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:37,959
Speaker 2: it might happen, Shakir Coleman, go down now where you at.

162
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 2: You know, so you've got to have stuff installed so

163
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 2: you can function and be ready if you know, the

164
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 2: unthinkable happens. So offensively, that's a lot easier to do

165
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 2: than defensive. Defensively, you kind of just plug a guy

166
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:55,679
Speaker 2: in and hope he can and it's different. You know, Offensively,

167
00:08:55,800 --> 00:09:00,320
Speaker 2: you've got to have a menu for those guys and

168
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 2: for each combination of guys. That's why it's so difficult

169
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:05,079
Speaker 2: to play well on that side of the ball. When

170
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:07,959
Speaker 2: he started getting unplugging guys and plugging other guys in,

171
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 2: you start to look pretty awful. Sometimes defense you can

172
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:15,600
Speaker 2: get by with it once, as we've seen. Offensively, it's

173
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 2: not so easy.

174
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:20,320
Speaker 1: As for the Seahawks, DK Metcalf did not practice again

175
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:22,960
Speaker 1: on Thursday. We'll see what today holds for him. In

176
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 1: the practice setting. They're obviously three hours behind us, so

177
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 1: they're not on the practice field yet also not practicing

178
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:33,959
Speaker 1: yesterday for the Seahawks, cornerback Trey Brown, who's helped fill

179
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:36,960
Speaker 1: in for Reek Woolan, who's missed the last two games

180
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:41,559
Speaker 1: with an ankle injury. Wohlan is participating on a limited basis.

181
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:44,440
Speaker 1: He's trying to get back in time. Kenneth Walker's been

182
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 1: dealing with an illness for over a week practice on

183
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:50,720
Speaker 1: a limited basis, he's trending towards playing, and Neamiah Pritchett,

184
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 1: another corner who's played a lot of snaps in the

185
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:57,320
Speaker 1: absence of Rik wooland also limited with an ankle injury.

186
00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:01,320
Speaker 1: So they're a little nicked up in their secondary, so

187
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 1: we'll see who's available. They also put right tackle Stone

188
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 1: Forsyth on ir he had been starting there, and they

189
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,840
Speaker 1: still don't have veteran George pant or fellow tackle Abraham

190
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 1: Lucas from their reserve lists ready to roll though they

191
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 1: did begin practicing this week, but the general consensus is

192
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,559
Speaker 1: not ready yet to play this week. Get to me

193
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:23,840
Speaker 1: another week to get up to speed, so there's a

194
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 1: chance the Seahawks call up Jason Peters from their practice squad,

195
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:31,720
Speaker 1: maybe not to start, but to serve in a swing

196
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:33,720
Speaker 1: tackle role. Peters just signed with the club a couple

197
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 1: of weeks ago. He is forty three years old.

198
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:41,320
Speaker 2: Here's the thing, and I've always said that. I've always

199
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 2: said this, and I don't know that it's been proven

200
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 2: true or false, but I'm gonna say it again anyway.

201
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 2: It's harder for a team to function really well when

202
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,920
Speaker 2: the big guys start going down on either side of

203
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 2: the ball. They've got Cameron Young, who's who's nicked up,

204
00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:59,319
Speaker 2: Morris is nicked up. Those guys didn't practice, yes, I said,

205
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 2: nose tackling it defensive end. So when those and George Fant,

206
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:06,560
Speaker 2: Abraham Abe Lucas, those guys.

207
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 1: You know, these those guys are on the reserve list.

208
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 1: They're on the reserve, so they're trying their practice windows

209
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:12,840
Speaker 1: open this week.

210
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 2: When you start losing big guys use your whole offense,

211
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:20,080
Speaker 2: your whole defense, they start looking really, really sick. You know,

212
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:23,199
Speaker 2: they're just not They just don't function. And that's where

213
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:25,280
Speaker 2: the Seahawks are. So it's a good thing for the

214
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 2: Bills because skill guys, fast athletes, coordinated guys, really sharp

215
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 2: or are easy. There's a ton of them, and you

216
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 2: can they can come out and show out but you know,

217
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:41,120
Speaker 2: you know, there's a different skill set, no question. But

218
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 2: big guys are great. Guys who are big are few

219
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 2: and far between, and when you start losing a man,

220
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:51,720
Speaker 2: they just they are hard to replace. And that's why

221
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:54,600
Speaker 2: I think that Seahawks are in just as bad as

222
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 2: shape as the Bills are without you know, Dwayne Carter

223
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 2: and and Terrell Bernard. It's it gets hard when the

224
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 2: big when the big guys start getting thin. Yeah, pun

225
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:08,959
Speaker 2: intended for sure.

226
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:12,640
Speaker 1: Uh, let's go around the rest of the NFL. Presented

227
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 1: by Kalida Health, the official healthcare system of the Buffalo Bills,

228
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:19,839
Speaker 1: Washington Commander's head coach Dan Quinn said that quarterback Jayden

229
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:23,440
Speaker 1: Daniels was able to practice in a limited fashion today,

230
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 1: so it's anticipated he will be a game time decision

231
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:31,199
Speaker 1: on Sunday when the Commanders place Paced. When the Commanders

232
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:36,080
Speaker 1: play the Bears. The networks were hoping that would be

233
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:40,240
Speaker 1: rookie versus rookie, you know, with the two rookie quarterbacks

234
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:42,800
Speaker 1: in that game. So they're probably hoping, like heck, that

235
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:46,840
Speaker 1: Jayden Daniels can play, But we'll have to wait and see.

236
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:49,719
Speaker 1: Probably gonna be a game time decision Dolphins quarterback to

237
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 1: a Tongue of Iloa cleared concussion protocol, so he's expected

238
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 1: to play Sunday against the Cardinals after his four game

239
00:12:56,040 --> 00:13:00,720
Speaker 1: absence on injured reserve. Despite reports to the contrary, Rams

240
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 1: head coach Sean McVay said last night that he's very

241
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:05,320
Speaker 1: happy the Rams have Cooper Cup on their roster and

242
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 1: he expects it to stay that way. The Rams beat

243
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 1: the Vikings on Thursday Night Football last night despite a

244
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:15,679
Speaker 1: controversial non call when Sam Donald's face mask was yanked

245
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 1: in the end zone during their comeback attempt. No flag

246
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 1: was thrown. In the pool report after the game, Trey Blake,

247
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:26,960
Speaker 1: the head referee, said no referees on his crew were

248
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 1: in position to get a good look at it. There's

249
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:31,400
Speaker 1: two guys standing in the back of the end zone

250
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:34,120
Speaker 1: staring at Sam Darnold on the play. Someone's got to

251
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 1: help me with that one.

252
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 2: Yeah that Yeah, they missed it. There's no doubt about it.

253
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:40,079
Speaker 2: I think both those guys at the moment when he's

254
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:46,320
Speaker 2: standing right there, Yeah, they're looking. They're looking at you know,

255
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 2: holding calls and all that. I mean, that is it's blatant.

256
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:51,200
Speaker 2: There's no question about it. It's a it's a totally

257
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:53,880
Speaker 2: missed call. Sooner or later on a call like this,

258
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 2: this is almost one of those where like the Rams

259
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:03,680
Speaker 2: Saints pass interference in the championship game seven years ago

260
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:06,360
Speaker 2: when they tried to change the rule and tried to

261
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:08,040
Speaker 2: get and that's where the eye and the sky started

262
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:10,400
Speaker 2: to come into the picture because of that. This is

263
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:16,000
Speaker 2: the same thing. I mean, they absolutely missed it. They

264
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 2: absolutely missed it. Horrible. Now here's the thing. Here's the thing.

265
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 2: All right, let's say they make the call, they get

266
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 2: fifteen yards, and they know they still got a lot

267
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:27,240
Speaker 2: of football to play. And I don't I do not

268
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:37,400
Speaker 2: consider that a game deciding missed call. But dude, you

269
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 2: got to make that call.

270
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's really bad. Uh So Cooper cups reported to

271
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:46,640
Speaker 1: be on the trade block earlier this week, and now

272
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:49,800
Speaker 1: McVeigh after the game comes out and says, we're happy

273
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:52,720
Speaker 1: he's on our roster and we anticipate or expected to

274
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:54,640
Speaker 1: stay that way. Maybe they had made a lot of

275
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 1: phone calls around the league and it became readily apparent

276
00:14:57,400 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 1: they weren't going to get 'ST thirty two the compensation

277
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 1: in return, and that they wanted.

278
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:04,640
Speaker 2: He's thirty two cup, isn't he No, that's what I heard.

279
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:07,440
Speaker 2: I thought somebody said that to Oh I heard that.

280
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:08,080
Speaker 2: I heard he was an.

281
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:12,200
Speaker 1: Older guy, twenty seventeen draft. No, way, that's eight years ago.

282
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:15,000
Speaker 2: Well, I don't know, maybe not, and he's like twenty

283
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:17,120
Speaker 2: nine at Worth. Somebody was saying that.

284
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:19,800
Speaker 1: I thought that was wow, he's thirty one.

285
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:24,000
Speaker 2: Okay, See I wasn't that far off anyway, How is

286
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 2: that possible? Here's the thing too, they got into it

287
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:28,680
Speaker 2: last night. They were one and four. Now they're three

288
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:32,040
Speaker 2: and four. The leak top of the division is four

289
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:38,239
Speaker 2: and three, and they get them. They get that team

290
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:44,320
Speaker 2: next week. Then they got Miami and the Patriots. I mean,

291
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 2: they got a stretch here where they could go. They

292
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 2: gotta feel like they could go all of a sudden

293
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:50,800
Speaker 2: six and four.

294
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:54,280
Speaker 1: Well, I told you this morning, that's gonna be a

295
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:58,000
Speaker 1: tougher game than people anticipated. Bill, That's gonna be a

296
00:15:58,000 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 1: tough game.

297
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:01,360
Speaker 2: This is a team that they still feel like. Now

298
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:05,640
Speaker 2: with Seattle, they got a shot at at the division

299
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 2: and that changes things for him.

300
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 1: That division's wide open. San France stumbled lost three in

301
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 1: a row and now they're trying to make up for

302
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 1: it with an injury riddle roster. Seahawks are at four

303
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 1: and three in a little bit of a surprise, and

304
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 1: now the Rams are digging themselves out of their hole.

305
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:22,440
Speaker 1: Those three teams are gonna beating up on each other

306
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:23,360
Speaker 1: the rest of the way here.

307
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 2: Yet Niners are three and four, just like just like

308
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:32,520
Speaker 2: the Rams. Yeah, so they're in the thick of it,

309
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 2: so that they went from maybe we were we were

310
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:39,720
Speaker 2: throwing dirt on them two days ago, and now it's

311
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 2: like maybe not. You know, you're saying there's a chance.

312
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 2: So you're telling me, look at that.

313
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:48,240
Speaker 1: I mean, Cardinals are going to play the Dolphins this week.

314
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:52,480
Speaker 1: They'll probably lose, and hopefully the Bills beat the Seahawks,

315
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 1: and you know, then you gotta there you go. Then

316
00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 1: you got a log jam. You already have a log jam.

Speaker 1: Today we got fir Us John your online Bill's Live.

327
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:34,400
Speaker 4: Yes, good afternoon. In the news lately, we've been hearing

328
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:37,200
Speaker 4: about the Hall of Fame and I'm wondering why you

329
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:40,760
Speaker 4: thought Pete Kogelac was never nominated. I mean, he changed

330
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:43,880
Speaker 4: the face of football, and if he'd flopped, who knows

331
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:48,159
Speaker 4: what would have happened. Your thoughts on that? And number two, Steve,

332
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 4: You've probably answered this question a million times, but would

333
00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:54,920
Speaker 4: you have traded your four Super Bowl appearances for one win,

334
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 4: assuming maybe the other three never even got to the playoffs?

335
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:02,720
Speaker 4: And has your view changed in the last thirty years? Yeah,

336
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:03,720
Speaker 4: thank you, all right, thank you.

337
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:07,840
Speaker 2: As far as Pete Gogolak, there are other guys who

338
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:11,280
Speaker 2: who are more credited with changing that. You're talking about

339
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:13,879
Speaker 2: the kicker, right, it was the first soccer style kicker.

340
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:16,360
Speaker 2: There are guys who are more joan standardud for one

341
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:19,520
Speaker 2: would be a guy because and probably because he was

342
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:22,199
Speaker 2: an NFL you know, he was with the Chiefs, they

343
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 2: won the Super Bowl. All of that, he had more

344
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:26,639
Speaker 2: success as a team with that, which is one of

345
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:29,240
Speaker 2: the reasons I was ever considered for the Hall of

346
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:30,919
Speaker 2: Fame is because I was on a great team and

347
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:33,000
Speaker 2: a lot of people around the country saw me play

348
00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:41,399
Speaker 2: on all those nationally televised playoff games. The what was

349
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:46,080
Speaker 2: the other question he had, the whether you would would No,

350
00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:48,880
Speaker 2: I would not. I would not. All four of those

351
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:51,680
Speaker 2: teams were unique in their own way, and I wouldn't

352
00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:54,240
Speaker 2: rob any of those guys that I have a lot

353
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:56,840
Speaker 2: of love and respect for who only played on one

354
00:18:56,960 --> 00:19:00,119
Speaker 2: or two or two or three of those teams. I

355
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:02,040
Speaker 2: wouldn't rob them at the opportunity they had to take

356
00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 2: a swing at it either even though we were ultimately unsuccessful.

357
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:07,640
Speaker 2: I love those teams that I was on, loved them,

358
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:10,359
Speaker 2: and whether they were championship or not, uh, they were

359
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:14,000
Speaker 2: still really as special to me and I wouldn't trade them. So, yes,

360
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:16,720
Speaker 2: I get that. I get this. You know, in our

361
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:19,000
Speaker 2: society is like win, you're either a winner or you're

362
00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:22,440
Speaker 2: a loser. And certainly I've been the part of the

363
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:24,960
Speaker 2: punchline for a lot of jokes about losing Super Bowls.

364
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:28,760
Speaker 2: I wouldn't trade them. The men who were involved in

365
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:31,359
Speaker 2: those in those games were too special to me. I

366
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:32,560
Speaker 2: wouldn't trade them.

367
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:36,159
Speaker 1: Let's head back to the phones and to Ryan up

368
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:37,280
Speaker 1: in Toronto. What do you got for us?

369
00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:37,639
Speaker 2: Ryan?

370
00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 4: Good scheme?

371
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:44,520
Speaker 5: Had the Friday Friday? Yes, you guys touched on the

372
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:51,560
Speaker 5: that appreciating from last night game? Get deciding last day again? Yeah,

373
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:58,440
Speaker 5: that France match was even the broadcast. Adam Micah, Adam Mica. Now,

374
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 5: my person is what the point of having a sky judge?

375
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:05,000
Speaker 5: But this guy just comes in to see minium of.

376
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:08,560
Speaker 3: The game to see if this product the first down

377
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:08,840
Speaker 3: or not.

378
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 4: But you cannot tell if.

379
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:11,080
Speaker 5: That's a face mask.

380
00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:11,359
Speaker 4: They're not.

381
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:15,960
Speaker 5: Secondly, isn't every scoring play good and safety and.

382
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:18,560
Speaker 4: Shafety's or whatnot?

383
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:20,440
Speaker 3: Are they not reviewed.

384
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 6: By the boot y?

385
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:24,960
Speaker 2: Ryan?

386
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 7: You have.

387
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:29,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, you have a You have a ton of legitimate points. Ryan.

388
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:31,960
Speaker 2: Let me break him down the way I understand. Here's

389
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,399
Speaker 2: why they do have a sky judge, but they do

390
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:36,960
Speaker 2: limit him. They don't want him to do They don't

391
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:40,439
Speaker 2: want him to call penalties. They are not allowed to

392
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 2: call penalties.

393
00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:44,399
Speaker 4: I understand that.

394
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:49,880
Speaker 5: I understand that. But but the scoring place say're all reviewed.

395
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:52,480
Speaker 2: That's right, they are reviewed, But even in so doing,

396
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 2: they can't conjure up. I don't and this wouldn't be

397
00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 2: conjuring up, but it would be calling a penalty. So

398
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 2: they can't even if he re use it, which he

399
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:06,879
Speaker 2: probably did, they can't say this play doesn't count because

400
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:09,479
Speaker 2: there was a penalty, because the sky judge would be

401
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:12,400
Speaker 2: calling the penalty, not the guys on the field. That's

402
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:19,960
Speaker 2: the reason that is such a mess. You are listen.

403
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 2: I totally Ryan, I am totally with you. That's the problem.

404
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:26,159
Speaker 2: They have to limit.

405
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:29,080
Speaker 4: One second go ahead.

406
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:32,680
Speaker 5: I understand, right, I understand you know that may not.

407
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:34,359
Speaker 6: Have decided the game and not I know it's an

408
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:37,840
Speaker 6: eight point leader, a point that is not for the.

409
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:39,920
Speaker 5: Judges or the restee to decide. That's for the team

410
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:43,040
Speaker 5: to at least give them a shot at it.

411
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:44,040
Speaker 3: That's the way I.

412
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 5: Look at it.

413
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:45,400
Speaker 2: That's right.

414
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:48,040
Speaker 5: Nobody has no right saying that, oh you know what,

415
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:48,960
Speaker 5: it was out of reach.

416
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:53,119
Speaker 4: No, you don't know that that's on the field.

417
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 2: Ryan, you there is no arguing with it. You are

418
00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:59,240
Speaker 2: absolutely right. But here and here's why, and and if

419
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:01,160
Speaker 2: I and way to bring the heat right, if I could,

420
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:04,600
Speaker 2: if I could inject how they should change the sky

421
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:08,400
Speaker 2: judge's abilities in one way, and this that would fix

422
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 2: this case and maybe cause other problems if they could

423
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:17,080
Speaker 2: tell the sky judge like this, on a scoring play,

424
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:21,440
Speaker 2: if there is a penalty on the ball, the guy

425
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:24,920
Speaker 2: holding the ball not not a holding penalty twenty five

426
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 2: yards away or somebody a holding and then you got

427
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:31,359
Speaker 2: into a gray area as well. But if there's a

428
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:35,360
Speaker 2: penalty on the ball, the person holding the ball or

429
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:38,560
Speaker 2: making the tackle or anything that the sky judge might

430
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:43,240
Speaker 2: be able to say stepensay that was a penalty because

431
00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:47,879
Speaker 2: it was a scoring play. You might be able to

432
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:52,400
Speaker 2: expand the sky judge's jurisdiction in that case. But that's

433
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:55,440
Speaker 2: a very specific, you know, set of rules. But I'm

434
00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:58,320
Speaker 2: with you. They blew it and it was Yeah, you're right,

435
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:01,720
Speaker 2: it was a long shot. Nevertheless, the Vikings have earned

436
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:08,240
Speaker 2: that long shot. So yes, it's one of the things

437
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:12,840
Speaker 2: where we kind of have to We don't want to

438
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:14,439
Speaker 2: see a game like that or a play like that

439
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:15,639
Speaker 2: made right.

440
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:20,320
Speaker 1: But the main duty of the sky judge, replay assistant,

441
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:23,720
Speaker 1: whatever you want to call him or her, is to

442
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:28,400
Speaker 1: assist an official when they have made a call that

443
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 1: is clearly incorrect. It is not to take non calls

444
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:38,639
Speaker 1: and to make calls. That's right, that's that's the and

445
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:41,679
Speaker 1: that's the dividing line, that's the line of demarcation for

446
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:42,159
Speaker 1: the replay.

447
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:45,359
Speaker 2: And that's the problem with this instance. He couldn't. He couldn't.

448
00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:47,520
Speaker 2: Everybody saw it. He couldn't fix it. He didn't have

449
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:49,080
Speaker 2: the power to fix because it was a No, he's

450
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:51,639
Speaker 2: not allowed now if it because it was a scoring

451
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:55,240
Speaker 2: play and they review it. He did review it, but

452
00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:59,920
Speaker 2: he can't review the part of the play that we

453
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:02,960
Speaker 2: want him to review, which is you missed a penalty.

454
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:05,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the problem with that viewing whether or not

455
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:08,359
Speaker 1: the quarterback was tackled in the end zone, which he

456
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:12,520
Speaker 1: clearly was right, Like, it's not was it a face

457
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:15,320
Speaker 1: mask because that was not a call that was made.

458
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:20,440
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's unfortunate it is. It is a clear loophole.

459
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:23,840
Speaker 1: The Rams new in the intent of the replays.

460
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:27,040
Speaker 2: Young knew good and well heat his helmet. Yeah, I

461
00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:30,240
Speaker 2: messed that up. And it's one thirty six to go

462
00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:32,879
Speaker 2: and they got you know what, ninety five yards to

463
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:36,560
Speaker 2: get to the other end zone. So you know, it

464
00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:40,480
Speaker 2: was a law. It was a very long shot for

465
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:43,760
Speaker 2: the Vikings to get, you know, to win this game.

466
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 2: But you're right, I mean that that ends it there.

467
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:49,919
Speaker 2: None of us get a chance to see that drama.

468
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:55,720
Speaker 2: Yeah so what Yes, Ryan in Toronto is exactly right.

469
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:56,879
Speaker 1: Bringing the heat today. I love it.

470
00:24:57,040 --> 00:25:01,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's you know, rarely will you see fans get

471
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:07,120
Speaker 2: more irate than when they get see an injustice that that.

472
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:12,760
Speaker 1: Is patently obvious. Yeah, it's really bad. Yeah, let's move along.

473
00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:15,359
Speaker 1: We go to Judy and Buffalo next. What's up, Judy?

474
00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:20,600
Speaker 8: Okay, we're gonna make for my one point, but it's

475
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:25,560
Speaker 8: still thinks something I've been uh talking about all seasons.

476
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:29,760
Speaker 8: The Bills are still a receiver short of what they need.

477
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:34,000
Speaker 8: They need to get a young, inexpensive receiver. Look at

478
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:36,840
Speaker 8: the La Rams. They put two receivers out on the

479
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:40,639
Speaker 8: field and all of a sudden they've become Juggernauts. The

480
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:43,400
Speaker 8: point I really want to make is, now Sunday, if

481
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:46,720
Speaker 8: the weather's going to be bad, do the Bills refer

482
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:53,240
Speaker 8: to a run shortype past type of game, and if so,

483
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:55,359
Speaker 8: do they have the advantage.

484
00:25:56,720 --> 00:26:01,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, fair question, Judy, and thanks for the call. I

485
00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:05,159
Speaker 1: initially the forecast was good and then it changed in

486
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:07,600
Speaker 1: the middle of the week. So now on Sunday, there

487
00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:11,199
Speaker 1: is an eighty percent chance of rain, high of fifty

488
00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:15,800
Speaker 1: five and the highest chance for rain is going to

489
00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:22,159
Speaker 1: come around five PM. And obviously that would be after

490
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:26,399
Speaker 1: the game in Seattle, even though it would seem you

491
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:28,160
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, the time difference.

492
00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:29,840
Speaker 2: Right, the game starts at one pm in Seattle.

493
00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:32,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, at one pm there's a forty five percent chance

494
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:37,160
Speaker 1: of rain and then it increases from there. So it's

495
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:41,879
Speaker 1: probably gonna get wet out there. What shifts a game

496
00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:44,879
Speaker 1: plan is the severity of that rain. If it is

497
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:48,800
Speaker 1: a driving rainstorm and the field is like soup and

498
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:52,119
Speaker 1: the ball weighs, you know, twice what it usually weighs,

499
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:54,720
Speaker 1: because it's bogged down with water, and it's affecting the

500
00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:57,640
Speaker 1: quarterback because passes are diving on them because the ball

501
00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:00,720
Speaker 1: is so heavy, Well, then yes, you have to adjust

502
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:02,840
Speaker 1: and run the ball a little bit more. If the

503
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:04,560
Speaker 1: Bills have to run the ball a little bit more,

504
00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:09,240
Speaker 1: they're more than capable of doing that. And this might

505
00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:12,879
Speaker 1: surprise you, but Seattle has a lesser run defense than

506
00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:16,600
Speaker 1: the Bills, twenty eighth in the league, so I would

507
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:18,479
Speaker 1: say the Bills would have an advantage. I don't think

508
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:21,639
Speaker 1: it would be a dramatic one because I think Seattle's

509
00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:26,480
Speaker 1: got two pretty good backs led by Kenneth Walker. But yeah,

510
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:30,320
Speaker 1: they would be okay if the game shifted primarily to

511
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:32,440
Speaker 1: a run game for both teams due to the weather.

512
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:36,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, Kenny Walker's a problem. But I will say this,

513
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:38,840
Speaker 2: it does shift in favor of the Bills because the

514
00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:43,280
Speaker 2: Seahawks are leading the league in throwing, not rushing. If

515
00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:45,919
Speaker 2: they can't throw, if it becomes difficult to throw the football,

516
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:47,840
Speaker 2: it's advantage Bills in my opinion.

517
00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:51,359
Speaker 1: Not to mention, you have a better running quarterback than

518
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:51,600
Speaker 1: they do.

519
00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:57,160
Speaker 2: Yes, and your defensive line is even with Dwayne Carter

520
00:27:57,280 --> 00:27:59,560
Speaker 2: being sidelined, your defensive line is healthier than there seems

521
00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:04,680
Speaker 2: to be. So now Terrell Bernard's a problem, You're gonna

522
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:07,960
Speaker 2: miss him, But at least you've got young linebackers who

523
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:10,919
Speaker 2: grew up defending the run, right, So.

524
00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:13,040
Speaker 1: Specter is a better run defender than past defense.

525
00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:15,399
Speaker 2: That's right, So that that is a good thing for

526
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:17,719
Speaker 2: the Bills. If it does rain, I don't know if

527
00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:21,159
Speaker 2: it's going to. As for more wide receivers, I'm I

528
00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:25,040
Speaker 2: have to disagree with you, Judy h Amari Cooper, No question,

529
00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:27,639
Speaker 2: he's a he's a he's an older veteran player, but

530
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:30,200
Speaker 2: I still he's very productive. He had his best season

531
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:35,400
Speaker 2: ever just last year with a bad offense. I think

532
00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:37,560
Speaker 2: he's gonna help a lot. And I'll say this too.

533
00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:41,840
Speaker 2: You don't have to believe me, but I think Keon Coleman,

534
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:47,560
Speaker 2: Khalil Shakir and this group is getting better and better,

535
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:50,840
Speaker 2: but particularly Ken every week. They're getting better every every week.

536
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:54,600
Speaker 2: If we can keep this crew healthy by the end

537
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:56,920
Speaker 2: of the year, we won't need anybody else. We won't

538
00:28:56,960 --> 00:28:59,400
Speaker 2: need anybody else. You don't have to agree with me,

539
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:01,640
Speaker 2: and I don't think you'd do. We've heard you know,

540
00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:03,960
Speaker 2: you've called us enough. Judy. I know your your feelings

541
00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:06,760
Speaker 2: on it, and you're right, there's no question about it.

542
00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:10,240
Speaker 2: If you get more great players, you're gonna be better.

543
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:14,200
Speaker 2: I don't know how likely it is that you're gonna

544
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:17,280
Speaker 2: get a better young receiver right who's going to be

545
00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:20,080
Speaker 2: better right away than Keon Coleman seems to be right now,

546
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:22,840
Speaker 2: and Keon Coleman's getting better and better and better. So

547
00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:29,240
Speaker 2: I don't know that that's gonna be possible, But I

548
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:34,360
Speaker 2: like this group of wide receivers and where they're sitting

549
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:38,240
Speaker 2: right now, because this group has an upside with Khalil

550
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:41,520
Speaker 2: Shakir getting healthier and Coleman playing better, and now with

551
00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:43,440
Speaker 2: Cooper in there. I mean, I just don't think there's

552
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:46,600
Speaker 2: any no I'll go. I'll ride with these guys.

553
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:48,360
Speaker 1: I mean, with all due respect, Judy, you want him

554
00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:50,480
Speaker 1: to add a young receiver. They just did. His name's

555
00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:53,280
Speaker 1: Keon Coleman, and he leads the team in receiving yards

556
00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:56,920
Speaker 1: right after seven games as a first year player. He

557
00:29:57,000 --> 00:30:00,600
Speaker 1: also is averaging over twenty yards of catch. It's the

558
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:04,600
Speaker 1: highest by any first year player through seven career games.

559
00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:09,840
Speaker 1: He's since Jamar Chase in twenty twenty one. He ain't average,

560
00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:13,440
Speaker 1: He's good. Just let him grow. Just trust me on

561
00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:14,440
Speaker 1: that He's let him grow.

562
00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:18,840
Speaker 2: He is the quote. He is the PEPSI NFL Rookie

563
00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:24,240
Speaker 2: of the week. Offensively, this is only this is the

564
00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:27,920
Speaker 2: It might be the wrong week to bring up the

565
00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:31,640
Speaker 2: wide receiver thing, Judy, give us a week and call back.

566
00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:34,400
Speaker 1: We got to take a break here, but more of

582
00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:20,320
Speaker 7: Perfect. Fine.

583
00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:24,160
Speaker 3: I want to say two things I wanted to thank you, Chris.

584
00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:27,640
Speaker 3: I was listening yesterday we talked about the NFL Plus.

585
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:28,840
Speaker 1: Yep, so I can.

586
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:30,360
Speaker 3: Listen to the play by Flaggers. I don't get the

587
00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:33,120
Speaker 3: game banner. I was supposed to get this game this

588
00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:35,200
Speaker 3: week is supposed to the game of the week, but

589
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:37,760
Speaker 3: the Saints played the later game, so I got o's there.

590
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:38,400
Speaker 10: Yeah.

591
00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:41,920
Speaker 3: So when I heard you yesterday's saying about the NFL Plus,

592
00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:44,600
Speaker 3: I jumped on that. I said, oh please, so I

593
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:46,320
Speaker 3: can do like yard work and listen to the games.

594
00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:47,000
Speaker 10: Great.

595
00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:51,600
Speaker 3: I also want to say this receiving corps in the

596
00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:53,120
Speaker 3: end of the season is gonna be the best receiving

597
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:56,280
Speaker 3: corps he's ever had. You've got all the please you

598
00:31:56,360 --> 00:31:58,000
Speaker 3: got to look at go deep. You got something Nick

599
00:31:58,040 --> 00:31:59,120
Speaker 3: and work in the middle the field. You got the

600
00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:01,120
Speaker 3: two tight ends, you got the great back the catch,

601
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:04,520
Speaker 3: and then you got numbers Q and Kean. Once they

602
00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:08,040
Speaker 3: get going, watch out, Josh really look good. I mean

603
00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:09,880
Speaker 3: it was good already, but he's really only good by the.

604
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:13,280
Speaker 2: End of the year. Yeah, no, I agree with it.

605
00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:15,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, thanks Garry. I appreciate the call.

606
00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:17,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean.

607
00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:21,760
Speaker 1: I I we said it all summer, Steve, like, there

608
00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:24,040
Speaker 1: is talent on this roster. It just had to be

609
00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:28,200
Speaker 1: groomed and developed. And we all know the history of

610
00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:31,360
Speaker 1: the quality of the player development here under Sean McDermott

611
00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:34,560
Speaker 1: and his staff, players get here and they get better.

612
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:41,040
Speaker 1: Keon Coleman is the latest example of that. So we

613
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:45,160
Speaker 1: thought collectively back in the summertime, this team might not

614
00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:48,960
Speaker 1: look great out of the shoot, you know, first half

615
00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:51,040
Speaker 1: of the season, there might be a couple of stumbles

616
00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:56,080
Speaker 1: here or there. But come late November December, if player

617
00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:58,720
Speaker 1: development was what we thought it could be with all

618
00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:01,960
Speaker 1: of the youth on the roster, they could be one

619
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:05,280
Speaker 1: of the best assemblies of a roster that this team

620
00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:07,960
Speaker 1: has seen probably in the last three years, probably have

621
00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:09,800
Speaker 1: to go back to twenty twenty one to find a

622
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:13,160
Speaker 1: roster that I believe has the same potential this one has,

623
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:18,040
Speaker 1: and this one's younger and more athletic. So that's why

624
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:18,840
Speaker 1: we're encouraged.

625
00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:23,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's always been the narrative we've put around this team,

626
00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:27,040
Speaker 2: just browning eyes that we knew coming into this if

627
00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:29,080
Speaker 2: there's gonna be some growing pains with all the new

628
00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:32,160
Speaker 2: faces on both sides of the ball. But as we

629
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:34,600
Speaker 2: watched them in the preseason and training camp and now

630
00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:36,640
Speaker 2: in the early season when they were hanging thirty points

631
00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:38,680
Speaker 2: and winning games, you know they were three to zero,

632
00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:42,800
Speaker 2: we just felt like winning games at the point of

633
00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:45,240
Speaker 2: they were playing the way they were playing because they

634
00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:49,360
Speaker 2: weren't playing their best and in some way and statistically,

635
00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:52,040
Speaker 2: it was much different than it had been in years past.

636
00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:54,440
Speaker 2: So it was a little way different with these new faces.

637
00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:57,880
Speaker 2: They were effective, but different, and they still are. They

638
00:33:57,920 --> 00:34:01,760
Speaker 2: still they're still not converting third down offensively, where the

639
00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:03,800
Speaker 2: last two years they've led the league, So it's it's

640
00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:07,120
Speaker 2: looking different than it has. The running games is a

641
00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:09,880
Speaker 2: bigger crutch for I say a crutch, but you know

642
00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:12,240
Speaker 2: what I mean, it's a bigger factor in their offensive

643
00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:15,840
Speaker 2: game play. And then it has been it's gonna look different,

644
00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:18,399
Speaker 2: but we we have always said our narrative has been

645
00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:21,759
Speaker 2: they're gonna get better, and they have been. And now

646
00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:23,480
Speaker 2: you're starting to see it in the passing game, the

647
00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:25,759
Speaker 2: game ky On Coleman had the Cooper coming in and

648
00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:28,680
Speaker 2: acclimenting as quickly as he did as he did, and

649
00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:30,640
Speaker 2: now with Khalil Shakir, if he can stay on the

650
00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:34,520
Speaker 2: field and stay healthy with I just think, man, there's

651
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:39,319
Speaker 2: there's no limit to where these guys could go. But

652
00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:41,960
Speaker 2: they're still gonna There's still gonna be bumps and hiccups

653
00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:44,400
Speaker 2: along the way. We still don't know who's gonna be

654
00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:46,840
Speaker 2: injured and who's gonna be in as the weeks go on,

655
00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:49,960
Speaker 2: because that's still gonna be a factor. No matter how

656
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:51,920
Speaker 2: healthy you are at the current moment or how injured

657
00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:56,799
Speaker 2: you are, you still got to factor it in. This

658
00:34:56,840 --> 00:34:59,520
Speaker 2: team's getting better and there's a lot more that they

659
00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:03,600
Speaker 2: can show us, and I think they've got it. It's

660
00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:06,080
Speaker 2: gonna be a lot of fun to see them play

661
00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:08,600
Speaker 2: their best because we haven't seen anything near it yet,

662
00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:10,760
Speaker 2: and they're they're five and two club.

663
00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:15,520
Speaker 1: Back to the phones for some more questions here on

664

Speaker 6: I find you on Spotify. So you guys are kind

672
00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:35,560
Speaker 6: of like therapists. I don't know. I don't think you

673
00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:38,200
Speaker 6: guys have a licensed therapists, but if you if you

674
00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:41,520
Speaker 6: ever want to open up a practice, you could task hers.

675
00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:43,680
Speaker 6: It's one thing for you, My my buddy who listens

676
00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:46,520
Speaker 6: to see every day as on a notepad. Some of

677
00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:48,640
Speaker 6: you are saying, so we love when you see let's

678
00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:51,360
Speaker 6: go and uh, what do you say? Like the office

679
00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:55,239
Speaker 6: is humming that. Uh we love that. But just really

680
00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:57,960
Speaker 6: quickly I saw him a fan account the other day.

681
00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:01,960
Speaker 6: They asked if you have one player from Bill's history

682
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:05,440
Speaker 6: on this roster who you would go with, And I

683
00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:08,880
Speaker 6: think everyone's mind immediately goes to groups. Some people said you, Steve.

684
00:36:09,719 --> 00:36:12,120
Speaker 6: Some people said, Andre, I know a lot of people

685
00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:14,440
Speaker 6: have been talking about the receivers today, but just want

686
00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:17,000
Speaker 6: to get your thoughts on that and got bills. One

687
00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:18,279
Speaker 6: of these years we're gonna get one.

688
00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:21,440
Speaker 1: Thank you guys, all right, appreciate it. Don Thanks for

689
00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:25,000
Speaker 1: the kind words and the phone call. Yeah, I might

690
00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:28,440
Speaker 1: look at that a little bit differently. Obviously, you know

691
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:30,840
Speaker 1: you're you're picking the best players in Bill's history, you

692
00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:34,080
Speaker 1: know when you're giving that question. But in terms of

693
00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:38,759
Speaker 1: what this team could use right now, in terms in

694
00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:44,880
Speaker 1: terms of reinforcements, I mean you're probably looking at some

695
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:47,439
Speaker 1: of the better middle linebackers the team has ever had.

696
00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:49,200
Speaker 1: Know one, they're not going to have Bernard this week.

697
00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:51,840
Speaker 1: They want to pick one of those guys. Yeah, Shane

698
00:36:51,840 --> 00:36:54,480
Speaker 1: Collin or somebody Colin, Sam Coward and his prime.

699
00:36:55,960 --> 00:36:58,440
Speaker 2: Maybe that would help. The guy that I always come

700
00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:02,760
Speaker 2: back to because it transcends Eras is a pass rusher,

701
00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:05,640
Speaker 2: Bruce Ye Bruce, Yeah, the guy was. Yeah, he was

702
00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:08,960
Speaker 2: a monster, and he's you know, he changes everything when

703
00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:10,680
Speaker 2: he's on the field, and so you put him in

704
00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:13,480
Speaker 2: there with these guys. Another guy that might be really

705
00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:17,520
Speaker 2: good in this day and age Ted Washington. Yeah, at

706
00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:18,040
Speaker 2: his prime.

707
00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:20,720
Speaker 1: You want your top run you want your run defense

708
00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:23,200
Speaker 1: to be top five in the league. Ted Washington in

709
00:37:23,239 --> 00:37:24,200
Speaker 1: his prime, end his story.

710
00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:26,560
Speaker 2: Let me tell you something, and I'm not just saying this.

711
00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:31,839
Speaker 2: You put Derrick Henry coming down downhill. He runs into

712
00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:36,800
Speaker 2: Ted Washington. Derrick Henry loses big time. He stops, he stops.

713
00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:38,480
Speaker 2: I mean, it is a it's a hard and it's

714
00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:44,239
Speaker 2: a hard tackle. Teddy was one of an, He was

715
00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:44,680
Speaker 2: one of one.

716
00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:47,480
Speaker 1: He should get more consideration for the The only reason,

717
00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:49,920
Speaker 1: the only reason Ted Washington isn't already in the Hall

718
00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:51,480
Speaker 1: of Fame is because he didn't rush the passer.

719
00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:54,520
Speaker 2: They don't look at run defense when they talk about

720
00:37:54,560 --> 00:37:56,920
Speaker 2: the Hall of Fame. They only look at pass rushing numbers,

721
00:37:57,320 --> 00:38:02,480
Speaker 2: and he didn't have any. And playing nineteen years at

722
00:38:02,520 --> 00:38:05,440
Speaker 2: when he did, he was never on a defense that

723
00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:08,200
Speaker 2: was outside the top five and run defense. And he

724
00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:14,040
Speaker 2: was the reason. Yeah, that guy, I would put him.

725
00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:17,200
Speaker 2: It's Bruce and maybe then Ted or maybe Ted Bruce second.

726
00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:21,120
Speaker 2: You I think so those like I said, everything all

727
00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:23,320
Speaker 2: the good stuff on your team Sarah too though obviously,

728
00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:28,239
Speaker 2: oh absolutely absolutely, I don't think this team needs Thurman. No,

729
00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:31,640
Speaker 2: as much as they get like a premier pass rusher

730
00:38:31,719 --> 00:38:35,280
Speaker 2: or yeah, I'm tough, just like I just said earlier

731
00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:38,200
Speaker 2: in the in the show, your problems all start when

732
00:38:38,239 --> 00:38:40,359
Speaker 2: your big guys aren't up to snuff, or they're hurt

733
00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:43,919
Speaker 2: or they're thinned out. If you've got that, everything else

734
00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:49,000
Speaker 2: falls into place. And Bruce Smith and Ted Washington fix

735
00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:52,840
Speaker 2: a lot of problems, a lot of problems.

736
00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:54,600
Speaker 1: Back to the phones until Lee in Rochester.

737
00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:55,239
Speaker 2: What's up? Lee?

738
00:38:56,400 --> 00:38:59,399
Speaker 10: Hey fellows, how you doing? Let the show Steve very

739
00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:01,200
Speaker 10: graciously get a picture with you and a friend of

740
00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:03,440
Speaker 10: mine a couple of weeks ago right on Fay Street.

741
00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:05,680
Speaker 10: Was awesome. I appreciate you very much. You love the

742
00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:07,839
Speaker 10: work you guys are both doing. I want to throw

743
00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:11,280
Speaker 10: something back. I'm an official. I referee in umpire Division

744
00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:14,200
Speaker 10: one Sports, and I just have to say, this is

745
00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:18,120
Speaker 10: the worst look for the NFL. They have got to

746
00:39:18,200 --> 00:39:22,160
Speaker 10: change something. Officials stand down the field, but there's also

747
00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:24,560
Speaker 10: officials up on the booth, and you know what they

748
00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:28,040
Speaker 10: tell us in college officiating, get the call correct. It

749
00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:30,560
Speaker 10: doesn't matter if you did or didn't see something. You

750
00:39:30,640 --> 00:39:32,880
Speaker 10: have partners out there, and if they can make a

751
00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:35,760
Speaker 10: partner sit up in a sky whatever or do something

752
00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:38,000
Speaker 10: up on top. That was a clearly egregious thing. I

753
00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:39,680
Speaker 10: was sick last night and I got no dog in

754
00:39:39,719 --> 00:39:41,479
Speaker 10: that race. I could care less than won that game.

755
00:39:41,840 --> 00:39:44,799
Speaker 10: But it made me sick that the opportunity for the

756
00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:48,360
Speaker 10: Vikes to come back. That's got to be one of

757
00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:52,000
Speaker 10: the worst missed call. And there's two men, two officials,

758
00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:54,080
Speaker 10: standing in the end line and they both missed it.

759
00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:56,200
Speaker 10: But they got straight lined. They had players between them.

760
00:39:56,440 --> 00:39:57,400
Speaker 10: They didn't see the concast.

761
00:39:57,480 --> 00:40:00,319
Speaker 2: I saw that helmet, and I get it. Yeah, I

762
00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:03,280
Speaker 2: saw that too. The offside defensive end kept the the

763
00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:05,880
Speaker 2: the umpire from seeing it, and the guy who actually

764
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:09,160
Speaker 2: was had the face mask was in between his hand

765
00:40:09,239 --> 00:40:11,239
Speaker 2: and the head referee. So yeah, they kind of got

766
00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:12,920
Speaker 2: double block there. I'm with you.

767
00:40:13,480 --> 00:40:13,640
Speaker 1: Uh.

768
00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:17,120
Speaker 2: But the problem is this and and I here's and

769
00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:22,120
Speaker 2: here's why the NFL is the best run sports league

770
00:40:22,160 --> 00:40:25,520
Speaker 2: on the planet. Uh. They follow the rules. They don't

771
00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:27,560
Speaker 2: care what the end, they don't care if it makes

772
00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:30,120
Speaker 2: them look bad or whatever. They'll improve they can fix

773
00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:33,120
Speaker 2: it later. But they are following the rules of the game.

774
00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:36,799
Speaker 2: And if they because that's that's the way it should be,

775
00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:39,920
Speaker 2: they'll change the rule if they need to. And I

776
00:40:39,960 --> 00:40:42,320
Speaker 2: and this may be a point where they say, you

777
00:40:42,360 --> 00:40:43,680
Speaker 2: know what, we need to tweak that it was a

778
00:40:43,719 --> 00:40:46,960
Speaker 2: scoring play and the and like I said earlier, I

779
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:48,600
Speaker 2: think and maybe you can speak to.

780
00:40:48,520 --> 00:40:51,359
Speaker 1: This league them up against the clock.

781
00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:55,560
Speaker 2: If there's a penalty on the ball, like when you're

782
00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:57,520
Speaker 2: throwing it to the guy and the guy pulls him

783
00:40:57,520 --> 00:41:00,440
Speaker 2: down so we can't catch it, and they'd let it

784
00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:03,200
Speaker 2: go or don't see it, you can oversee you can

785
00:41:03,200 --> 00:41:05,480
Speaker 2: supersede that kind of thing. If the penalties on the wall,

786
00:41:05,680 --> 00:41:09,239
Speaker 2: maybe that's a way to do it. But I have yes,

787
00:41:10,200 --> 00:41:14,200
Speaker 2: it's an negregiously missed call. It's a mistake that needs

788
00:41:14,239 --> 00:41:14,880
Speaker 2: to be fixed.

789
00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:19,919
Speaker 1: And he is right about college too. Yeah, I guess

790
00:41:19,880 --> 00:41:23,160
Speaker 1: because if you watch the Texas Georgia game last week,

791
00:41:23,760 --> 00:41:28,400
Speaker 1: you saw a guy intercept the ball and go the

792
00:41:28,480 --> 00:41:36,360
Speaker 1: other way deep into Georgia territory and it was offensive

793
00:41:36,360 --> 00:41:41,640
Speaker 1: pass interference and they called they made some other call

794
00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:49,240
Speaker 1: which was clearly incorrect, negating the interception, and then Texas

795
00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:51,840
Speaker 1: fans were so irate they started throwing beer cans on

796
00:41:51,880 --> 00:41:53,640
Speaker 1: the field to the point where the game had to

797
00:41:53,680 --> 00:41:57,520
Speaker 1: be stopped to clear the field of the debris. While

798
00:41:57,560 --> 00:42:01,680
Speaker 1: that's happening, the officials huddle up and change it to

799
00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:07,080
Speaker 1: the correct call. Now, the circumstances by which that happened

800
00:42:07,239 --> 00:42:10,880
Speaker 1: are terrible, because you're telling the Texas fans keep throwing

801
00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:12,960
Speaker 1: crap on the field every time you don't like a call,

802
00:42:13,120 --> 00:42:14,919
Speaker 1: and the officials will huddle up and get it right.

803
00:42:15,280 --> 00:42:15,879
Speaker 2: I get it right.

804
00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:19,439
Speaker 1: It's they got it right. In the end, the way

805
00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:19,879
Speaker 1: they did.

806
00:42:19,840 --> 00:42:23,359
Speaker 2: It was bad. Smart people know though, they got it right,

807
00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:25,280
Speaker 2: not because of the stuff on the field, but because

808
00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:27,960
Speaker 2: they can get they got a guy up there. The

809
00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:31,160
Speaker 2: point is that they they made an effort to make

810
00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:35,480
Speaker 2: it right in the even in the face of rules

811
00:42:35,480 --> 00:42:37,399
Speaker 2: that may have said, that's not quite white the way

812
00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:40,600
Speaker 2: you're supposed to do it. I'm with you on that,

813
00:42:41,080 --> 00:42:43,600
Speaker 2: but the simple fact of the matter is you know

814
00:42:43,680 --> 00:42:49,160
Speaker 2: the league, they you know there should be I don't know,

815
00:42:49,160 --> 00:42:52,920
Speaker 2: what do you do add another layer, like if New

816
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:55,799
Speaker 2: York season gets a hey, why did you get that right?

817
00:42:56,120 --> 00:42:59,440
Speaker 1: Well, I mean happened in a playoff game in Houston

818
00:42:59,480 --> 00:43:03,240
Speaker 1: in twenty nine team where they called from New York.

819
00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:09,000
Speaker 2: Get the wrong call. That's why that guy doesn't That

820
00:43:09,040 --> 00:43:13,560
Speaker 2: guy doesn't work there anymore. And he shouldn't. That should

821
00:43:13,600 --> 00:43:16,319
Speaker 2: that should have costed him his job. But we're talking

822
00:43:16,320 --> 00:43:19,360
Speaker 2: about the passage in New England and l A M.

823
00:43:20,200 --> 00:43:25,560
Speaker 2: New Orleans and LA Rams when Nicole Roby Coleman pulls

824
00:43:25,640 --> 00:43:29,800
Speaker 2: down just whax Alvin Kamara coming out of the backfield

825
00:43:29,800 --> 00:43:33,680
Speaker 2: when the ball's like almost there, like it's halfway there,

826
00:43:33,960 --> 00:43:36,200
Speaker 2: and then he hits him. I mean it was Everybody's like.

827
00:43:36,160 --> 00:43:38,040
Speaker 1: What And that's in the NFC title game.

828
00:43:38,080 --> 00:43:39,640
Speaker 2: That's a title game. So the Rams don't go to

829
00:43:39,719 --> 00:43:40,319
Speaker 2: the super Bowl.

830
00:43:40,760 --> 00:43:41,279
Speaker 1: Saints don't.

831
00:43:41,320 --> 00:43:45,320
Speaker 2: The Saints don't go to the super Bowl, so that's big.

832
00:43:45,400 --> 00:43:50,040
Speaker 2: And so yeah, that's where the eye in this. You

833
00:43:50,080 --> 00:43:52,279
Speaker 2: still couldn't have reviewed that either because that was a

834
00:43:52,320 --> 00:43:55,920
Speaker 2: non call. These are problems, Yep, gotta get fixed.

835
00:43:56,200 --> 00:43:57,759
Speaker 1: We got to take a break more of your phone

836
00:43:57,800 --> 00:44:00,000
Speaker 1: calls when we come back here On an obl Friday

837
00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:02,440
Speaker 1: fan mail bag on One Bill's Live, presented by Collide Health,

838
00:44:02,480 --> 00:44:20,080
Speaker 1: It's Buffalo Bills Radio. This week's Collision Course is brought

839
00:44:20,120 --> 00:44:23,080
Speaker 1: to you by Gabes Collision. Gabes Collision, the official auto

840
00:44:23,120 --> 00:44:25,600
Speaker 1: collision repair center of the Buffalo Bills. Get back in

841
00:44:25,640 --> 00:44:28,200
Speaker 1: the game and the collision course this week is the

842
00:44:28,200 --> 00:44:31,600
Speaker 1: Bill's running backs against the Seahawks front seven. As we

843
00:44:31,680 --> 00:44:35,280
Speaker 1: told you, Seahawks twenty eighth in the league against the run,

844
00:44:35,920 --> 00:44:40,839
Speaker 1: really had trouble stopping it on a consistent basis, and

845
00:44:40,280 --> 00:44:44,480
Speaker 1: they're not really nicked up in terms of their frontline players.

846
00:44:45,360 --> 00:44:47,920
Speaker 1: They've got a couple of backups that are dealing with

847
00:44:47,960 --> 00:44:51,239
Speaker 1: some injury, so the rotation hasn't been super heavy. For

848
00:44:51,280 --> 00:44:54,120
Speaker 1: those that don't remember, Byron Murphy was their first round

849
00:44:54,200 --> 00:44:57,760
Speaker 1: pick out of Texas. He was that athletic defensive tackle

850
00:44:57,800 --> 00:45:01,920
Speaker 1: three hundred and fifteen pounds and move like a deer like.

851
00:45:01,960 --> 00:45:06,200
Speaker 1: He's just got great lateral agility and when he rotates

852
00:45:06,200 --> 00:45:11,120
Speaker 1: in they're very effective just because he covers so much ground.

853
00:45:12,880 --> 00:45:15,719
Speaker 1: So he's a guy to watch number ninety one for

854
00:45:15,880 --> 00:45:19,360
Speaker 1: the Seahawks. But they got the big beefeater Jonathan Hankins

855
00:45:19,400 --> 00:45:19,959
Speaker 1: who's been playing.

856
00:45:20,120 --> 00:45:22,240
Speaker 2: Overall, the Bills have run for eight hundred and fourteen

857
00:45:22,360 --> 00:45:28,560
Speaker 2: yards on the season. Seattle has allowed oneenty twenty.

858
00:45:28,280 --> 00:45:30,200
Speaker 1: Three in seven games.

859
00:45:30,280 --> 00:45:32,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're they're giving it up.

860
00:45:32,200 --> 00:45:34,920
Speaker 1: They're struggling, and I think it's a big reason why

861
00:45:34,920 --> 00:45:36,319
Speaker 1: they traded for Ernest Jones this.

862
00:45:36,320 --> 00:45:39,400
Speaker 2: Week, right, they needed somebody in there that could sniff

863
00:45:39,440 --> 00:45:44,200
Speaker 2: it out. It'll be interesting to see this. There's a

864
00:45:44,200 --> 00:45:46,760
Speaker 2: lot going on here because Seattle's defense is a little

865
00:45:46,760 --> 00:45:48,879
Speaker 2: bit deficient. In the run game, they have not done

866
00:45:48,920 --> 00:45:52,879
Speaker 2: a good job. But this is a team also that

867
00:45:53,560 --> 00:45:55,800
Speaker 2: you know you're facing that slings it all over the yard.

868
00:45:56,680 --> 00:45:59,440
Speaker 1: So and they rely on big plays in the passing game.

869
00:45:59,480 --> 00:46:01,360
Speaker 1: This is not it nickel and dying you down the

870
00:46:01,360 --> 00:46:02,400
Speaker 1: field passing attack.

871
00:46:02,520 --> 00:46:04,960
Speaker 2: No, And that's why DK metcalf is such a big

872
00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:06,719
Speaker 2: factor in this as he's gonna be one hundred percent

873
00:46:06,760 --> 00:46:07,800
Speaker 2: or if he's gonna be on the field, and I

874
00:46:07,840 --> 00:46:10,160
Speaker 2: wouldn't be surprised they activate him even if he's only

875
00:46:10,200 --> 00:46:14,839
Speaker 2: gonna play ten snaps, you know what I mean? That guy,

876
00:46:15,400 --> 00:46:18,239
Speaker 2: that guy on the field is a big play and

877
00:46:18,960 --> 00:46:21,160
Speaker 2: you've got to keep The Bills do a really nice job.

878
00:46:21,160 --> 00:46:22,920
Speaker 2: That's one of the reasons their defense looks like it

879
00:46:22,920 --> 00:46:24,719
Speaker 2: does a lot of the times. The Bills keep a

880
00:46:24,760 --> 00:46:29,280
Speaker 2: lid on stuff really well, which means by keeping guys

881
00:46:29,320 --> 00:46:32,439
Speaker 2: deeper than their deepest and making sure your safeties are back,

882
00:46:32,760 --> 00:46:35,080
Speaker 2: they're susceptible to that dink and dunk stuff like you

883
00:46:35,120 --> 00:46:38,160
Speaker 2: saw so much early in the Tennessee game. Teams will

884
00:46:38,200 --> 00:46:41,799
Speaker 2: just do that to them. They still don't give up

885
00:46:41,800 --> 00:46:43,919
Speaker 2: big plays, and they do tighten up later in the game.

886
00:46:44,080 --> 00:46:46,120
Speaker 2: But this is one of those games where the Seattle

887
00:46:46,520 --> 00:46:47,640
Speaker 2: they don't care well.

888
00:46:47,680 --> 00:46:50,080
Speaker 1: They're the exact opposite on defense. You know, the Bills

889
00:46:50,080 --> 00:46:52,720
Speaker 1: try to keep everything in front of them. Seattle's defense

890
00:46:52,760 --> 00:46:54,960
Speaker 1: has given up the fifth most plays of twenty yards

891
00:46:54,960 --> 00:46:57,760
Speaker 1: and more twenty six. Yeah, through the first seven games.

892
00:46:57,760 --> 00:47:00,760
Speaker 2: That's a lot. They try and stop everything up front.

893
00:47:00,840 --> 00:47:03,360
Speaker 1: They're not much better. They're last in the league in

894
00:47:03,520 --> 00:47:06,680
Speaker 1: first down yardage given up. They give up over seven

895
00:47:06,760 --> 00:47:09,200
Speaker 1: yards per play on first down.

896
00:47:09,560 --> 00:47:12,640
Speaker 2: You gotta get You've got to, you gotta In fact,

897
00:47:12,840 --> 00:47:16,120
Speaker 2: this is like playing the old Paul Westfall NBA teams.

898
00:47:16,120 --> 00:47:19,400
Speaker 2: You gotta run with them. I think I think you

899
00:47:19,480 --> 00:47:23,160
Speaker 2: gotta run with them. They're too good, they score too much,

900
00:47:24,040 --> 00:47:26,520
Speaker 2: they're too and you can get some turnovers, but they're

901
00:47:26,520 --> 00:47:28,799
Speaker 2: gonna come back and keep throwing it, so you're gonna

902
00:47:28,840 --> 00:47:32,759
Speaker 2: have to keep your foot on the gas offensively. So

903
00:47:32,840 --> 00:47:34,239
Speaker 2: there you go. I mean, that's where I think you're

904
00:47:34,280 --> 00:47:39,640
Speaker 2: at now. The temptation is to run the ball if

905
00:47:39,640 --> 00:47:41,400
Speaker 2: you can, if you can stay on the field, but

906
00:47:41,440 --> 00:47:47,600
Speaker 2: you cannot afford to be missing on possessions. I think

907
00:47:47,640 --> 00:47:48,320
Speaker 2: you gotta score.

908
00:47:49,040 --> 00:47:51,759
Speaker 1: I told you, yeah, you thought it was gonna be

909
00:47:51,760 --> 00:47:54,400
Speaker 1: a high scoring game. We'll see, in fact if it is.

910
00:47:54,719 --> 00:47:57,000
Speaker 1: Let's get back to the phones until Robert and Buffalo.

911
00:47:57,160 --> 00:47:58,680
Speaker 1: What's up, Robert?

912
00:47:59,280 --> 00:48:03,640
Speaker 11: What's up? I just wanted to ask a question. When

913
00:48:03,920 --> 00:48:08,000
Speaker 11: playing Dawson Knox up there? Would you think that Moss

914
00:48:08,040 --> 00:48:13,800
Speaker 11: would open up the defense on third down more than Knox?

915
00:48:13,960 --> 00:48:14,120
Speaker 2: And?

916
00:48:14,239 --> 00:48:18,160
Speaker 11: Uh, Steve, you was on a team with two Hall

917
00:48:18,239 --> 00:48:21,600
Speaker 11: of Fame wide receivers that always they always thought they

918
00:48:21,760 --> 00:48:24,759
Speaker 11: was Olden. I like the number one wide receiver that

919
00:48:24,920 --> 00:48:27,480
Speaker 11: thinks that he's open all the time and want the ball.

920
00:48:28,480 --> 00:48:32,160
Speaker 1: Lets your talk, all right, thanks Robert. He's asking about

921
00:48:32,200 --> 00:48:36,120
Speaker 1: Quentin Morris and whether he would offer more athletically than

922
00:48:36,239 --> 00:48:41,800
Speaker 1: Dawson Knox in terms of running routes. Tough to say.

923
00:48:42,520 --> 00:48:46,160
Speaker 1: I mean, I think I think you can say. Dawson

924
00:48:46,200 --> 00:48:49,520
Speaker 1: Knox is not a loose athlete, but he's a giant

925
00:48:49,560 --> 00:48:53,680
Speaker 1: target and he runs well enough. And I think Quentin

926
00:48:53,680 --> 00:48:55,920
Speaker 1: Morris is more of the tight end that does a

927
00:48:55,920 --> 00:49:00,680
Speaker 1: lot of the dirty work blocking. Yeah, even lining up

928
00:49:00,680 --> 00:49:02,759
Speaker 1: in the backfield as a blocker sometimes.

929
00:49:02,520 --> 00:49:04,719
Speaker 2: Right Knox is not well, he can't, but they don't

930
00:49:04,800 --> 00:49:07,520
Speaker 2: line him up knocks up in the backfield. Although I

931
00:49:07,560 --> 00:49:12,520
Speaker 2: think Morris is probably his best attributes, he's at least

932
00:49:12,560 --> 00:49:17,719
Speaker 2: as good as Knox in the running game. Knox is

933
00:49:17,719 --> 00:49:19,319
Speaker 2: a bigger target in the passing game.

934
00:49:20,480 --> 00:49:22,719
Speaker 1: I mean, people forget three years ago, Dawson Knox had

935
00:49:22,719 --> 00:49:26,080
Speaker 1: a nine touchdown season. Right, the guy can contribute down

936
00:49:26,160 --> 00:49:26,840
Speaker 1: the red zone.

937
00:49:27,200 --> 00:49:31,359
Speaker 2: Uh, And so I think, yeah, I don't. I don't

938
00:49:31,400 --> 00:49:34,279
Speaker 2: have a problem. I like Quinton Morris when we've seen

939
00:49:34,360 --> 00:49:36,439
Speaker 2: him play, he has played well. He catches the ball

940
00:49:36,480 --> 00:49:39,960
Speaker 2: extremely well. For me, he catches it really well. So I'm,

941
00:49:40,040 --> 00:49:43,440
Speaker 2: you know, I don't have a problem. I'd like to

942
00:49:43,440 --> 00:49:45,799
Speaker 2: see more from Kincaid than we've seen, but I think

943
00:49:45,840 --> 00:49:47,759
Speaker 2: that has more to do with opportunity than it does

944
00:49:47,800 --> 00:49:50,240
Speaker 2: anything else. When we saw that he made a couple

945
00:49:50,239 --> 00:49:53,719
Speaker 2: of at least three fantastic catches this last week that

946
00:49:53,760 --> 00:50:02,160
Speaker 2: were really, really important. So I'm I'm, I don't know.

947
00:50:02,200 --> 00:50:04,279
Speaker 2: I'm not going to get into It's hard for me

948
00:50:04,360 --> 00:50:06,640
Speaker 2: to sit here and say, yeah, yeah, you know, let's

949
00:50:06,680 --> 00:50:08,800
Speaker 2: move this guy move that guy. I think the coaches

950
00:50:08,880 --> 00:50:10,680
Speaker 2: have a better handle on that than any of us do.

951
00:50:11,160 --> 00:50:13,480
Speaker 2: And as far as having two wide receivers on the field,

952
00:50:13,520 --> 00:50:15,880
Speaker 2: like in James Lofton and Andrea Reid back in the

953
00:50:15,960 --> 00:50:21,560
Speaker 2: nineties who both wanted the ball, Yeah, that go. Yes, everybody, listen,

954
00:50:22,040 --> 00:50:25,399
Speaker 2: you got offensive lineman sitting on the bench who want

955
00:50:25,440 --> 00:50:28,040
Speaker 2: the ball. I mean, that's the way it is in

956
00:50:28,080 --> 00:50:31,640
Speaker 2: the league. Give me the ball. That's the center of

957
00:50:31,680 --> 00:50:33,840
Speaker 2: the game, and that's why everybody wants it. So, yes,

958
00:50:34,200 --> 00:50:36,399
Speaker 2: your wide receivers knowing that they go out and I'll

959
00:50:36,400 --> 00:50:38,840
Speaker 2: tell you is what really we don't talk about this

960
00:50:38,880 --> 00:50:42,719
Speaker 2: a lot. You know what really burns up wideouts when

961
00:50:42,719 --> 00:50:45,440
Speaker 2: they get when they run a route, when they run

962
00:50:45,520 --> 00:50:47,919
Speaker 2: route after route after route and never get the ball

963
00:50:47,920 --> 00:50:52,480
Speaker 2: thrown to him. That that's a slow burn. And that's

964
00:50:52,520 --> 00:50:54,600
Speaker 2: why it's you know, you you won't, you know you won't.

965
00:50:54,600 --> 00:50:57,080
Speaker 2: Guys they always give them a chance, just give me

966
00:50:57,120 --> 00:51:00,360
Speaker 2: a chance. They want to contribute, and that's, you know,

967
00:51:00,400 --> 00:51:02,239
Speaker 2: so to keep them happy. It was kind of all

968
00:51:02,239 --> 00:51:04,000
Speaker 2: well and good early in the season when everybody was

969
00:51:04,040 --> 00:51:06,400
Speaker 2: gonna eat, But sooner or later, guys are going to

970
00:51:06,440 --> 00:51:10,799
Speaker 2: elevate and start to buy their production. Just get the

971
00:51:10,800 --> 00:51:14,600
Speaker 2: ball more because they just their play demands it, whether

972
00:51:14,640 --> 00:51:15,279
Speaker 2: they do or not.

973
00:51:15,920 --> 00:51:18,120
Speaker 1: Break time for us here when we come back. Our

974
00:51:18,200 --> 00:51:20,760
Speaker 1: number two begins with who Else on a Friday? Senior

Speaker 2: The One Bills Live presented by Kalida Health.

981
00:52:19,600 --> 00:52:21,759
Speaker 1: All Right, Our number two on a Friday can mean

982
00:52:21,920 --> 00:52:24,440
Speaker 1: one thing, and one thing only means We're joined by

983
00:52:24,440 --> 00:52:27,600
Speaker 1: a senior producer from NFL Films, Greg co Cell. He's

984
00:52:27,640 --> 00:52:31,000
Speaker 1: also co host of ESPN's NFL Matchup Show to talk

985
00:52:31,600 --> 00:52:35,640
Speaker 1: Bill Seahawks, Greg co Sales Weekly segment presented by Scott Lonyard,

986
00:52:35,680 --> 00:52:39,280
Speaker 1: an official commercial site work partner of the Buffalo Bills.

987
00:52:39,920 --> 00:52:43,399
Speaker 1: All Right, Greg. A noticeable uptick in the passing game

988
00:52:43,440 --> 00:52:46,279
Speaker 1: for Buffalo last week against the Titans. Two hundred and

989
00:52:46,280 --> 00:52:48,799
Speaker 1: fifty eight passing yards in the second half is the

990
00:52:48,840 --> 00:52:51,320
Speaker 1: most ever by Josh Allen the second half of a

991
00:52:51,320 --> 00:52:56,120
Speaker 1: football game, which almost seems hard to believe threw a

992
00:52:56,160 --> 00:52:58,880
Speaker 1: little more on first down in the second half, because

993
00:52:58,880 --> 00:53:01,080
Speaker 1: this is a team that has run it over sixty

994
00:53:01,080 --> 00:53:03,080
Speaker 1: percent of the time on first and ten this season,

995
00:53:03,120 --> 00:53:06,400
Speaker 1: second highest in the league. But they're facing a Seattle

996
00:53:06,480 --> 00:53:09,319
Speaker 1: team greg that is twenty eighth against the run and

997
00:53:09,600 --> 00:53:13,359
Speaker 1: last in first down defense. Should they continue with the

998
00:53:13,360 --> 00:53:15,759
Speaker 1: trend of throwing a little bit more on first down?

999
00:53:15,800 --> 00:53:16,279
Speaker 1: Do you think?

1000
00:53:17,800 --> 00:53:20,360
Speaker 7: Well, you know, those questions are always hard to answer,

1001
00:53:20,480 --> 00:53:22,360
Speaker 7: you know, as to what they should do against a

1002
00:53:22,400 --> 00:53:26,920
Speaker 7: given team. But I will say this, one thing we

1003
00:53:27,000 --> 00:53:30,160
Speaker 7: know about Seattle is they play a lot of zone coverage.

1004
00:53:30,200 --> 00:53:33,840
Speaker 7: They're more predominant zone coverage defense than they are a

1005
00:53:33,880 --> 00:53:38,520
Speaker 7: man coverage defense. And I think what I really liked

1006
00:53:38,560 --> 00:53:42,399
Speaker 7: in the second half that they did against Tennessee and

1007
00:53:42,600 --> 00:53:45,960
Speaker 7: this is I think the essence of building a passing

1008
00:53:45,960 --> 00:53:49,320
Speaker 7: game versus own coverage is it's really all about spacing

1009
00:53:49,400 --> 00:53:52,600
Speaker 7: and route combinations. You know, people don't think about a

1010
00:53:52,600 --> 00:53:55,640
Speaker 7: football field as confined space the way they think about

1011
00:53:55,680 --> 00:53:59,480
Speaker 7: let's say, a basketball corps or a hockey rink. Because

1012
00:53:59,520 --> 00:54:02,760
Speaker 7: you can see the entire court or rink on TV.

1013
00:54:03,160 --> 00:54:06,160
Speaker 7: You can't see the entire football field on TV. So

1014
00:54:06,400 --> 00:54:08,640
Speaker 7: you don't think of it in terms of confined space.

1015
00:54:09,160 --> 00:54:11,799
Speaker 7: But and Steve you know this very well obviously being

1016
00:54:11,840 --> 00:54:14,960
Speaker 7: a former receiver, is that the past game versus zone

1017
00:54:15,120 --> 00:54:19,600
Speaker 7: is all about getting into voids, putting defenders in conflict.

1018
00:54:20,120 --> 00:54:23,560
Speaker 7: It's finding space and balance with the routes. And I

1019
00:54:23,560 --> 00:54:25,640
Speaker 7: thought they did a much better job of that in

1020
00:54:25,680 --> 00:54:27,600
Speaker 7: the second half. I mean, I thought a really good

1021
00:54:27,640 --> 00:54:30,799
Speaker 7: example of that was the Cooper twenty seven yarder which

1022
00:54:30,880 --> 00:54:33,440
Speaker 7: came in the second half, that was against zone coverage.

1023
00:54:33,680 --> 00:54:36,359
Speaker 7: If you look at the full field combination, they had

1024
00:54:36,400 --> 00:54:40,960
Speaker 7: a vertical concept, an intermediate concept, a short concept. They

1025
00:54:40,960 --> 00:54:43,680
Speaker 7: did a really good job with their spacing because what

1026
00:54:43,719 --> 00:54:45,799
Speaker 7: you really need to do with Josh is you need

1027
00:54:45,840 --> 00:54:49,040
Speaker 7: to define it for him within timing, because otherwise he's

1028
00:54:49,080 --> 00:54:51,440
Speaker 7: going to leave the pocket. That's just the kind of

1029
00:54:51,520 --> 00:54:54,560
Speaker 7: quarterback he is. And obviously we know he's great leaving

1030
00:54:54,600 --> 00:54:57,320
Speaker 7: the pocket, but every coach would like to see the

1031
00:54:57,360 --> 00:55:01,480
Speaker 7: pass game execute it as structured, and so you really

1032
00:55:01,520 --> 00:55:03,640
Speaker 7: need to try to define it with him against zone

1033
00:55:03,680 --> 00:55:06,080
Speaker 7: coverage so that when he hits that back foot, he

1034
00:55:06,160 --> 00:55:08,760
Speaker 7: feels like he sees it and he can turn it loose.

1035
00:55:09,160 --> 00:55:12,279
Speaker 2: I know it's early and Amari Cooper's got, like, you know,

1036
00:55:12,600 --> 00:55:14,839
Speaker 2: one game under his belt as a bill, But can

1037
00:55:14,880 --> 00:55:18,399
Speaker 2: you or are you looking to draw any conclusions about

1038
00:55:18,440 --> 00:55:19,600
Speaker 2: how he changes things.

1039
00:55:22,040 --> 00:55:24,560
Speaker 7: It's like you said, it's hard to say after one game,

1040
00:55:24,560 --> 00:55:26,719
Speaker 7: but he's but he is a boundary X and we

1041
00:55:26,800 --> 00:55:29,120
Speaker 7: talked about this, I think last week before the game

1042
00:55:30,040 --> 00:55:32,520
Speaker 7: that you know, you can line him up at X

1043
00:55:33,360 --> 00:55:35,680
Speaker 7: and then you have three receivers on the other side,

1044
00:55:36,000 --> 00:55:39,240
Speaker 7: and he is a receiver that can win individual routes

1045
00:55:40,000 --> 00:55:43,239
Speaker 7: as a as an X receiver. So theoretically that can

1046
00:55:43,400 --> 00:55:46,239
Speaker 7: change your offense. Obviously, we're looking at the touchdown that

1047
00:55:46,280 --> 00:55:48,960
Speaker 7: came against Zero last week, where I guess he had

1048
00:55:48,960 --> 00:55:51,200
Speaker 7: to be told to play, but it was zero and

1049
00:55:51,280 --> 00:55:54,520
Speaker 7: you know that was pretty basic concept. But yeah, so

1050
00:55:54,600 --> 00:55:57,880
Speaker 7: theoretically can he changed their offense in that regard for sure?

1051
00:55:59,280 --> 00:56:02,480
Speaker 7: Ideally that helps other receivers as well. I mean, I

1052
00:56:02,560 --> 00:56:07,560
Speaker 7: really like Shakiir. I think he really provides sort of

1053
00:56:07,560 --> 00:56:10,600
Speaker 7: that short to short to intermediate route runner. He's really

1054
00:56:10,600 --> 00:56:13,480
Speaker 7: good run after catch, so you know, I think now

1055
00:56:13,480 --> 00:56:15,840
Speaker 7: they have more dimensions in their pass game.

1056
00:56:16,480 --> 00:56:19,080
Speaker 1: Right, And to take it a step further, Coleman seems

1057
00:56:19,120 --> 00:56:21,719
Speaker 1: to be growing each and every week in terms of

1058
00:56:21,760 --> 00:56:24,600
Speaker 1: what he's able to provide this team as well. And

1059
00:56:24,640 --> 00:56:28,480
Speaker 1: now arguably he's going to get more advantageous matchups with

1060
00:56:28,560 --> 00:56:32,040
Speaker 1: Cooper presumably drawing you know, the best defender every week.

1061
00:56:32,120 --> 00:56:34,080
Speaker 1: So what do you kind of see in front of

1062
00:56:34,160 --> 00:56:36,719
Speaker 1: him in terms of growth and opportunity.

1063
00:56:37,680 --> 00:56:40,160
Speaker 7: Well, I think it gives them a lot more versatility

1064
00:56:40,160 --> 00:56:43,880
Speaker 7: in what they can do from a receiver location perspective,

1065
00:56:43,920 --> 00:56:46,520
Speaker 7: And by that I mean Coleman, I think was drafted

1066
00:56:46,520 --> 00:56:50,040
Speaker 7: to become a boundary X. But now you have Cooper Coleman,

1067
00:56:50,360 --> 00:56:53,160
Speaker 7: you can shakier, can line up anywhere. I think you're

1068
00:56:53,200 --> 00:56:55,920
Speaker 7: in a situation now where you have guys that can

1069
00:56:55,960 --> 00:57:00,000
Speaker 7: line up in multiple locations within a formation, whether it's

1070
00:57:00,239 --> 00:57:02,680
Speaker 7: by one set, whether to two by two set. And

1071
00:57:02,840 --> 00:57:05,319
Speaker 7: let's not forget King Kaid. He's another guy that can

1072
00:57:05,360 --> 00:57:08,160
Speaker 7: line up anywhere within the formation. So I think it

1073
00:57:08,280 --> 00:57:11,680
Speaker 7: gives you and it may not happen this week because

1074
00:57:11,719 --> 00:57:13,319
Speaker 7: it takes a little time when you get a new

1075
00:57:13,360 --> 00:57:15,360
Speaker 7: receiver in like Cooper, even though he's been in the

1076
00:57:15,400 --> 00:57:18,320
Speaker 7: league a while and probably nothing's brand new to him.

1077
00:57:18,720 --> 00:57:21,800
Speaker 7: Still he's with a new team. Just things are a

1078
00:57:21,800 --> 00:57:24,600
Speaker 7: little different. But I think they have a You could

1079
00:57:24,680 --> 00:57:28,040
Speaker 7: argue they have four receivers now that can line up anywhere.

1080
00:57:29,000 --> 00:57:31,200
Speaker 2: What do you think, and I know it's hard to say,

1081
00:57:31,280 --> 00:57:33,640
Speaker 2: because once again, Cooper's just been here for you know,

1082
00:57:33,960 --> 00:57:37,560
Speaker 2: a week. What do you think now is the most

1083
00:57:37,600 --> 00:57:40,320
Speaker 2: effective personnel package offensively for Buffalo?

1084
00:57:43,960 --> 00:57:46,680
Speaker 7: Well, I guess i'd answer that by saying, you don't

1085
00:57:46,680 --> 00:57:48,640
Speaker 7: want to feel like you're stuck with doing one thing.

1086
00:57:48,680 --> 00:57:51,200
Speaker 7: I mean, they still have two really good tight ends.

1087
00:57:52,240 --> 00:57:55,400
Speaker 7: You know. I'd be real curious if now with Cooper,

1088
00:57:55,440 --> 00:57:58,240
Speaker 7: this cuts down on the deployment of six to zero

1089
00:57:58,320 --> 00:58:01,000
Speaker 7: line personnel, which they were us in quite a bit.

1090
00:58:01,280 --> 00:58:03,360
Speaker 7: They I think they've used it more than any other

1091
00:58:03,400 --> 00:58:06,000
Speaker 7: team in the league. We'll see how they feel about

1092
00:58:06,000 --> 00:58:08,440
Speaker 7: that going forward now that they have Cooper, you know,

1093
00:58:08,480 --> 00:58:11,680
Speaker 7: and gives them many more viable options when they go

1094
00:58:11,720 --> 00:58:15,479
Speaker 7: to three wide. So, but you know, I think good

1095
00:58:15,520 --> 00:58:18,720
Speaker 7: offenses can do a lot of different things. Steve, you

1096
00:58:18,760 --> 00:58:20,880
Speaker 7: know that. I mean, so I don't know if they're

1097
00:58:20,920 --> 00:58:23,360
Speaker 7: going to feel that they have to be specific to one.

1098
00:58:23,760 --> 00:58:25,840
Speaker 7: I mean, you look at a team like they're playing Seattle.

1099
00:58:25,920 --> 00:58:28,800
Speaker 7: I think they are over eighty five percent eleven personnel.

1100
00:58:29,000 --> 00:58:30,440
Speaker 7: I don't think the Bills want to be in a

1101
00:58:30,480 --> 00:58:34,520
Speaker 7: situation where they're that heavy percentage wise with one particular

1102
00:58:34,720 --> 00:58:35,840
Speaker 7: personnel package.

1103
00:58:36,640 --> 00:58:38,960
Speaker 1: All right, So let's talk about Seattle's offense a little

1104
00:58:39,000 --> 00:58:42,640
Speaker 1: bit more, because right now Gino Smith is leading the

1105
00:58:42,720 --> 00:58:44,800
Speaker 1: league in passing. It is because this team throws more

1106
00:58:44,800 --> 00:58:47,640
Speaker 1: than anybody else in the league six if you count,

1107
00:58:47,920 --> 00:58:51,120
Speaker 1: if you count the twenty times Gino Smith has been sacked.

1108
00:58:52,040 --> 00:58:55,040
Speaker 1: The Seahawks have attempted to throw three hundred times this

1109
00:58:55,120 --> 00:58:57,600
Speaker 1: season and they've run at one hundred and fifty one times.

1110
00:58:57,640 --> 00:59:01,120
Speaker 1: It is a two to one ratio, and they throw

1111
00:59:01,160 --> 00:59:04,040
Speaker 1: at sixty six percent of the time. And it doesn't

1112
00:59:04,040 --> 00:59:07,560
Speaker 1: look like it's gonna slow down anytime soon. But Kenneth

1113
00:59:07,600 --> 00:59:10,600
Speaker 1: Walker is a really good back. Greg, You got to

1114
00:59:10,640 --> 00:59:12,800
Speaker 1: explain this one to me. Can they not run block?

1115
00:59:13,320 --> 00:59:15,600
Speaker 1: What is the propensity to throw it so much?

1116
00:59:16,360 --> 00:59:19,600
Speaker 7: Well, there have been games, Brownie, where they have tried

1117
00:59:19,640 --> 00:59:22,720
Speaker 7: to run the ball. They have come out committed to running.

1118
00:59:22,720 --> 00:59:24,760
Speaker 7: They tried that a few weeks ago against the forty

1119
00:59:24,840 --> 00:59:27,120
Speaker 7: nine ers after they literally had no run game the

1120
00:59:27,160 --> 00:59:31,040
Speaker 7: week prior. I forget who that was against. And they

1121
00:59:31,080 --> 00:59:33,720
Speaker 7: simply have not been able to generate any kind of

1122
00:59:33,760 --> 00:59:35,680
Speaker 7: run game. And I agree with you, Kenneth Walker is

1123
00:59:35,720 --> 00:59:39,800
Speaker 7: a talented back, but he's just found no space. So

1124
00:59:40,320 --> 00:59:43,040
Speaker 7: what happens with a lot of coordinators, obviously, and they

1125
00:59:43,040 --> 00:59:46,360
Speaker 7: have a rookie offensive coordinator in the NFL, and Ryan

1126
00:59:46,400 --> 00:59:49,080
Speaker 7: Grubb did a great job at the University of Washington,

1127
00:59:49,120 --> 00:59:52,520
Speaker 7: but the NFL is a different game. And you know,

1128
00:59:53,560 --> 00:59:56,200
Speaker 7: they get impatient and they give up on the run,

1129
00:59:56,280 --> 00:59:58,520
Speaker 7: and they throw and they throw and they throw. And

1130
00:59:58,600 --> 01:00:01,480
Speaker 7: Gino Smith has developed to a pretty good quarterback in

1131
01:00:01,520 --> 01:00:05,480
Speaker 7: this league. The question becomes protection. Right now, they've got

1132
01:00:05,520 --> 01:00:07,880
Speaker 7: issues at right tackle. Last week they played a kid,

1133
01:00:08,280 --> 01:00:10,800
Speaker 7: I don't know if it's pronounced Gerald or Jarrell, but

1134
01:00:10,920 --> 01:00:14,040
Speaker 7: he's a kid from Finley College. He's about their fifth

1135
01:00:14,080 --> 01:00:17,600
Speaker 7: offensive He's about their fifth right tackle. Brownies. You probably

1136
01:00:17,640 --> 01:00:20,360
Speaker 7: know from researching, so you're gonna, you know, do the

1137
01:00:20,400 --> 01:00:23,200
Speaker 7: game and play by play so you know who he is.

1138
01:00:23,520 --> 01:00:26,560
Speaker 7: But you know, and they still kind of rotate a

1139
01:00:26,600 --> 01:00:29,720
Speaker 7: little bit at right guard. They play Bradford about seventy

1140
01:00:29,760 --> 01:00:32,480
Speaker 7: seventy five percent of the snaps and the rookie Haynes

1141
01:00:32,520 --> 01:00:35,280
Speaker 7: at right guard about twenty five percent of the snaps,

1142
01:00:35,400 --> 01:00:39,960
Speaker 7: So the right side of their line is potentially problematic.

1143
01:00:40,160 --> 01:00:42,600
Speaker 7: And after you watched what Russo did this week to

1144
01:00:42,600 --> 01:00:45,640
Speaker 7: petit Frere, you have to figure that if you're the Seahawks,

1145
01:00:45,800 --> 01:00:48,200
Speaker 7: you're a little bit worried about the right side there.

1146
01:00:48,840 --> 01:00:52,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, So as you get into that, what certainly the

1147
01:00:52,240 --> 01:00:55,520
Speaker 2: Bills would love to get quick pressure with just four guys.

1148
01:00:55,600 --> 01:00:58,240
Speaker 2: What have the Seahawks struggled with in their past protection

1149
01:00:58,360 --> 01:01:02,160
Speaker 2: because they're not rotating that right guard for nothing, and

1150
01:01:02,240 --> 01:01:04,720
Speaker 2: you know, and they never wanted to get down to

1151
01:01:05,280 --> 01:01:09,960
Speaker 2: a Finley college graduate at right tackle. And what has

1152
01:01:10,040 --> 01:01:13,160
Speaker 2: been They keep throwing the football. They're leading the league,

1153
01:01:13,160 --> 01:01:15,520
Speaker 2: so something's going okay for them up front.

1154
01:01:15,880 --> 01:01:20,160
Speaker 7: Well, I think I think where we've seen significant improvement

1155
01:01:20,200 --> 01:01:23,320
Speaker 7: in Geno Smith in one particular area, and it's really good.

1156
01:01:23,360 --> 01:01:27,800
Speaker 7: Gino's become a really good player. He's he's making strong

1157
01:01:28,000 --> 01:01:31,720
Speaker 7: throws from muddied and squeezed pockets. He's standing in there

1158
01:01:31,720 --> 01:01:34,440
Speaker 7: and delivering the football. And the other thing that he's

1159
01:01:34,480 --> 01:01:37,880
Speaker 7: gotten much better at his pocket movement, the ability to

1160
01:01:38,000 --> 01:01:42,760
Speaker 7: move within the pocket and keep his eyes downfield almost

1161
01:01:42,840 --> 01:01:45,480
Speaker 7: be oblivious to the pressure in a good way, but

1162
01:01:45,600 --> 01:01:48,400
Speaker 7: be able to move, maintain control of the football with

1163
01:01:48,440 --> 01:01:52,120
Speaker 7: two hands, eyes down field, see things. So he's gotten

1164
01:01:52,120 --> 01:01:56,000
Speaker 7: better in those two critical areas which help an offensive line.

1165
01:01:56,160 --> 01:01:59,000
Speaker 7: But there's no question that particularly the right side. And

1166
01:01:59,040 --> 01:02:01,000
Speaker 7: again I don't know if it's gonna be Durell again

1167
01:02:01,560 --> 01:02:05,400
Speaker 7: this week. You know, I think they I think they

1168
01:02:05,400 --> 01:02:07,560
Speaker 7: actually have Jason Peters on the roster. I don't know

1169
01:02:07,600 --> 01:02:08,600
Speaker 7: if they feel.

1170
01:02:08,920 --> 01:02:11,360
Speaker 1: He's on their practice squad, they'd have to elevate him.

1171
01:02:11,360 --> 01:02:14,680
Speaker 1: And we're anticipating they're going to elevate somebody because right now,

1172
01:02:14,720 --> 01:02:18,760
Speaker 1: they just put Stone Forsyth on injured reserve yesterday, so

1173
01:02:18,800 --> 01:02:22,160
Speaker 1: they only have two tackles on the active roster right now,

1174
01:02:22,200 --> 01:02:24,439
Speaker 1: so they've got to elevate nobody.

1175
01:02:24,520 --> 01:02:28,240
Speaker 7: They don't have anybody that if one of those guys

1176
01:02:28,240 --> 01:02:30,920
Speaker 7: got hurt right as we speak on a Friday afternoon,

1177
01:02:31,240 --> 01:02:35,440
Speaker 7: they don't have another tackle they could line up in crazy. Yeah,

1178
01:02:35,600 --> 01:02:38,480
Speaker 7: So someone's going to be elevated, maybe Jason Peters, you know.

1179
01:02:38,840 --> 01:02:41,840
Speaker 7: But the point is is that it's clearly an area

1180
01:02:41,880 --> 01:02:44,640
Speaker 7: that has to be exploited. And and as I said,

1181
01:02:44,800 --> 01:02:46,920
Speaker 7: I mean, look, you guys saw the tape. Brownie, you

1182
01:02:46,960 --> 01:02:50,320
Speaker 7: do the game, so you know, Russo just dominated Petit

1183
01:02:50,440 --> 01:02:52,960
Speaker 7: Frere on five or six snaps when he just made

1184
01:02:53,000 --> 01:02:55,919
Speaker 7: him look silly. Only one might have led to a sack,

1185
01:02:56,000 --> 01:02:59,560
Speaker 7: but they were there were others where it just it

1186
01:02:59,680 --> 01:03:02,479
Speaker 7: really look bad for Petit Frere. Russo looked really good.

1187
01:03:02,720 --> 01:03:05,560
Speaker 2: So this this game rolls in and the Bills, like

1188
01:03:05,560 --> 01:03:07,040
Speaker 2: you said, you got to make a choice when you're

1189
01:03:07,080 --> 01:03:10,960
Speaker 2: facing the Seattle defense. You know, where is the strength

1190
01:03:10,960 --> 01:03:13,880
Speaker 2: of this Seattle defense. I mean, we just talked about

1191
01:03:14,000 --> 01:03:17,440
Speaker 2: statistically they're struggling, but what do they hang their hat on.

1192
01:03:18,440 --> 01:03:21,320
Speaker 7: Well, I'll answer it this way. They're going to get

1193
01:03:21,360 --> 01:03:23,280
Speaker 7: better now. You hope this isn't the week that all

1194
01:03:23,280 --> 01:03:25,560
Speaker 7: of a sudden it comes together. I don't know what

1195
01:03:25,600 --> 01:03:28,280
Speaker 7: the status is of their outside corners, Brownie, do you

1196
01:03:28,360 --> 01:03:30,160
Speaker 7: know who practiced this week or who did well?

1197
01:03:31,520 --> 01:03:34,440
Speaker 1: Reek Willains missed the last two games, as you've probably

1198
01:03:34,440 --> 01:03:37,880
Speaker 1: seen on tape. Oh sure, but he already started. He's

1199
01:03:37,920 --> 01:03:41,680
Speaker 1: practicing on a limited basis this week. Trey Brown has

1200
01:03:41,760 --> 01:03:47,640
Speaker 1: not practiced yet. We'll see what today holds for him,

1201
01:03:47,960 --> 01:03:50,160
Speaker 1: you know. And then on the other side, they look

1202
01:03:50,240 --> 01:03:55,440
Speaker 1: to be okay defensively with Witherspoon, but Pritchett had to

1203
01:03:55,440 --> 01:03:56,440
Speaker 1: play last week.

1204
01:03:56,800 --> 01:03:59,320
Speaker 7: Well, yeah, what they did last week is you well know,

1205
01:03:59,840 --> 01:04:02,760
Speaker 7: is because they played a team in the Falcons that

1206
01:04:03,280 --> 01:04:06,200
Speaker 7: plays the highest percentage of eleven personnel in the league

1207
01:04:06,400 --> 01:04:08,960
Speaker 7: ninety percent. They were playing in their nickel literally the

1208
01:04:08,960 --> 01:04:12,840
Speaker 7: whole game. So they had free agent Josh Job from

1209
01:04:12,840 --> 01:04:16,040
Speaker 7: Alabama at one corner, the rookie Pritchett from Auburn at

1210
01:04:16,040 --> 01:04:18,960
Speaker 7: the other corner, and Witherspoon in the slot. So we

1211
01:04:19,040 --> 01:04:22,440
Speaker 7: started this conversation and Steve you mentioned about what should

1212
01:04:22,120 --> 01:04:26,520
Speaker 7: the Bills do as far as their personnel packages. If

1213
01:04:26,560 --> 01:04:30,560
Speaker 7: that's again the group that plays Joe Pritchett on the outside,

1214
01:04:30,920 --> 01:04:33,840
Speaker 7: you might want to think about maybe increasing your percentage

1215
01:04:33,840 --> 01:04:36,520
Speaker 7: this week of playing with eleven personnel and see what

1216
01:04:36,640 --> 01:04:39,120
Speaker 7: Job and Pritchett can do. I thought both guys actually

1217
01:04:39,200 --> 01:04:43,000
Speaker 7: played pretty well last week overall. But still one's a rookie,

1218
01:04:43,040 --> 01:04:44,160
Speaker 7: one's a free agent.

1219
01:04:44,200 --> 01:04:46,919
Speaker 1: And then they've got a there's a very good chance

1220
01:04:46,960 --> 01:04:49,400
Speaker 1: they may start a guy they just traded for in

1221
01:04:49,560 --> 01:04:51,800
Speaker 1: Ernest Jones, who the Bills just saw last week when

1222
01:04:51,800 --> 01:04:53,200
Speaker 1: they played Tennessee.

1223
01:04:53,320 --> 01:04:55,440
Speaker 7: We'll start him because but Baker's.

1224
01:04:54,960 --> 01:04:57,640
Speaker 1: Gone, Yeah, so he drops right in there, and I

1225
01:04:57,680 --> 01:05:01,040
Speaker 1: realize there's probably a healthy amount of cross knowing Dinard

1226
01:05:01,080 --> 01:05:04,200
Speaker 1: Wilson also comes from the Baltimore Tree as defensive coordinator

1227
01:05:04,200 --> 01:05:09,040
Speaker 1: in Tennessee, so there's conceivably some measure of crossover and

1228
01:05:09,120 --> 01:05:11,480
Speaker 1: carry over for Jones as he gets dropped into this

1229
01:05:12,000 --> 01:05:15,280
Speaker 1: defense with Seattle. But he's also got a playoff of

1230
01:05:15,360 --> 01:05:18,160
Speaker 1: ten new guys in the scope of this defense. I mean,

1231
01:05:18,800 --> 01:05:22,600
Speaker 1: what do you see in terms of the transition for him.

1232
01:05:23,440 --> 01:05:25,920
Speaker 7: That's a hard question to answer, other than I loved

1233
01:05:26,040 --> 01:05:29,600
Speaker 7: him as a player. You know, I remember doing him

1234
01:05:29,600 --> 01:05:32,640
Speaker 7: coming out of South Carolina. He's big, he's athletic, He's

1235
01:05:32,680 --> 01:05:35,160
Speaker 7: actually a terrific blitzer. So I don't know if that's

1236
01:05:35,160 --> 01:05:37,840
Speaker 7: the way McDonald sees him. He may not be used

1237
01:05:37,840 --> 01:05:39,640
Speaker 7: that way this week. You know, that may be the

1238
01:05:39,720 --> 01:05:42,280
Speaker 7: kind of thing they have to build up to. But

1239
01:05:42,320 --> 01:05:45,320
Speaker 7: I would expect this defense overall with McDonald there, to

1240
01:05:45,360 --> 01:05:48,600
Speaker 7: get better as the season progresses. But the problem, of course,

1241
01:05:48,680 --> 01:05:51,640
Speaker 7: is when you get start to get guys hurt. As

1242
01:05:51,680 --> 01:05:53,400
Speaker 7: we talked about the corners. Now you've got a new

1243
01:05:53,440 --> 01:05:57,160
Speaker 7: linebacker in Jones. Although they and then they traded last

1244
01:05:57,200 --> 01:05:59,760
Speaker 7: week for Robertson Harris, who's actually a pretty good player.

1245
01:06:00,040 --> 01:06:02,960
Speaker 7: But you know, so they do have a pretty good

1246
01:06:03,000 --> 01:06:05,320
Speaker 7: d line. Some of these guys have come along really well.

1247
01:06:05,480 --> 01:06:09,400
Speaker 7: The second year player Haul from Auburn, another Auburn kid

1248
01:06:09,400 --> 01:06:11,480
Speaker 7: has really come along and played well for them as

1249
01:06:11,480 --> 01:06:14,800
Speaker 7: an edge player. We know Leonard Williams on the inside

1250
01:06:14,880 --> 01:06:19,080
Speaker 7: is tough deal. Murphy's now back. The rookie from Texas.

1251
01:06:19,240 --> 01:06:22,640
Speaker 7: He's got explosive trades. So on the front's not bad

1252
01:06:22,680 --> 01:06:24,440
Speaker 7: at all. It's just what are they going to do

1253
01:06:24,480 --> 01:06:26,840
Speaker 7: on the back end because even the safety Jenkins, he's

1254
01:06:26,840 --> 01:06:31,240
Speaker 7: out too right yeah, and I are Yeah, So you

1255
01:06:31,280 --> 01:06:33,640
Speaker 7: know they're missing some key pieces on the back end.

1256
01:06:33,840 --> 01:06:35,880
Speaker 7: So that may getting back to what Steve said, this

1257
01:06:35,920 --> 01:06:38,280
Speaker 7: may be a week for eleven personnel where you feel

1258
01:06:38,520 --> 01:06:41,200
Speaker 7: as long as you can protect on your side, you

1259
01:06:41,280 --> 01:06:43,160
Speaker 7: may feel that you can really attack them. With the

1260
01:06:43,160 --> 01:06:43,880
Speaker 7: past game.

1261
01:06:43,880 --> 01:06:46,080
Speaker 2: Brownie and I have, well, it's been me and Brownie's

1262
01:06:46,600 --> 01:06:49,040
Speaker 2: has not dissuaded me in any way, shape or form.

1263
01:06:49,080 --> 01:06:51,240
Speaker 2: We may sometimes we're too close to this. You're right,

1264
01:06:51,320 --> 01:06:53,520
Speaker 2: this Bills team, so we kind of need to bet

1265
01:06:53,600 --> 01:06:57,680
Speaker 2: get somebody else's view of it. It's been my assertion

1266
01:06:58,520 --> 01:07:02,400
Speaker 2: that the Bills are fin playing their winning games, no problem,

1267
01:07:02,440 --> 01:07:06,680
Speaker 2: but they have really not played nearly their best football.

1268
01:07:06,720 --> 01:07:09,400
Speaker 2: And it seems as though now with Cooper in the mix,

1269
01:07:09,600 --> 01:07:12,560
Speaker 2: Keon Coleman's flashing like he did this last week, right,

1270
01:07:12,680 --> 01:07:15,720
Speaker 2: Shaki getting back on the field, Kinkaid making the catches

1271
01:07:15,800 --> 01:07:18,120
Speaker 2: he made, even though you know, he had six targets

1272
01:07:18,120 --> 01:07:21,400
Speaker 2: and only three catches, which is unusual for him. Usually

1273
01:07:21,440 --> 01:07:24,440
Speaker 2: he'll catch five of the six targets. But this is

1274
01:07:24,480 --> 01:07:27,920
Speaker 2: a team, especially on the offensive skills positions, with all

1275
01:07:27,960 --> 01:07:30,560
Speaker 2: the new guys coming that they do seem to be

1276
01:07:30,640 --> 01:07:32,960
Speaker 2: growing a little bit, getting a little better, a little better.

1277
01:07:33,360 --> 01:07:35,840
Speaker 2: Josh is playing a little better. He still has not

1278
01:07:35,880 --> 01:07:38,400
Speaker 2: thrown an interception, all this stuff, and I still think

1279
01:07:39,320 --> 01:07:42,040
Speaker 2: while they have not played their best football yet, they

1280
01:07:42,080 --> 01:07:44,320
Speaker 2: are on a trajectory to be really good at the

1281
01:07:44,400 --> 01:07:45,560
Speaker 2: end of this regular season.

1282
01:07:46,960 --> 01:07:49,520
Speaker 7: And I would agree with everything you said. I despite

1283
01:07:49,600 --> 01:07:51,720
Speaker 7: the fact that Josh Allen's not throwing a pick, you know,

1284
01:07:51,760 --> 01:07:54,440
Speaker 7: because of course everybody said he's a turnover machine and

1285
01:07:54,480 --> 01:07:57,000
Speaker 7: he has thrown a pick. I don't think he's played

1286
01:07:57,040 --> 01:07:59,880
Speaker 7: great football for on a consistent basis. I think he

1287
01:08:00,160 --> 01:08:04,120
Speaker 7: had moments now. I don't know if it's because new receivers.

1288
01:08:04,280 --> 01:08:05,880
Speaker 7: You know, it's one thing to go through Rotia's in

1289
01:08:05,920 --> 01:08:08,160
Speaker 7: training camp. You guys know, until you get in the games,

1290
01:08:08,320 --> 01:08:10,400
Speaker 7: it's just not the same. I mean, Hollins is a

1291
01:08:10,440 --> 01:08:13,680
Speaker 7: new receiver, Coleman's a rookie. You know, Shakira sort of

1292
01:08:13,720 --> 01:08:16,840
Speaker 7: became a factor last year, but he's still relatively new.

1293
01:08:17,760 --> 01:08:20,200
Speaker 7: So you know, Josh is the kind of quarterback that

1294
01:08:20,240 --> 01:08:23,640
Speaker 7: if he's not comfortable with what he immediately sees, he

1295
01:08:23,720 --> 01:08:27,360
Speaker 7: gets out of there. And as good as that is, Steve,

1296
01:08:27,439 --> 01:08:30,640
Speaker 7: you know, that disrupts your passing game. That's just the

1297
01:08:30,720 --> 01:08:33,720
Speaker 7: reality of life if your quarterback. You know, ultimately, the

1298
01:08:33,720 --> 01:08:37,920
Speaker 7: way passing games are taught is execution within timing and structure,

1299
01:08:38,240 --> 01:08:40,120
Speaker 7: and Josh is going to get out of there if

1300
01:08:40,160 --> 01:08:43,840
Speaker 7: he's not comfortable right away. So your point's a good one.

1301
01:08:43,840 --> 01:08:46,439
Speaker 7: Maybe as he gets more comfortable and they can build

1302
01:08:46,479 --> 01:08:49,519
Speaker 7: with more concepts in the past game that he'll stay

1303
01:08:49,560 --> 01:08:52,280
Speaker 7: there more. Because I remember you go back when he

1304
01:08:52,320 --> 01:08:54,600
Speaker 7: first became in a sense, Josh Allen, I guess it

1305
01:08:54,640 --> 01:08:57,120
Speaker 7: was year kind of three where you know he really

1306
01:08:57,160 --> 01:09:00,439
Speaker 7: took off. He yes, did he make plays outside of

1307
01:09:00,439 --> 01:09:03,719
Speaker 7: structure for sure, but he made big, big time throws

1308
01:09:03,760 --> 01:09:05,439
Speaker 7: from the pocket every single week.

1309
01:09:05,840 --> 01:09:09,519
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's still his highest completion percentage season at

1310
01:09:09,600 --> 01:09:12,840
Speaker 1: just over sixty nine percent. Greg, thanks as always for

1311
01:09:12,920 --> 01:09:14,720
Speaker 1: the time. We appreciate it and enjoy the game. We'll

1312
01:09:14,720 --> 01:09:16,080
Speaker 1: catch up with you next week.

1313
01:09:16,200 --> 01:09:17,360
Speaker 7: All right, gods appreciate it.

1314
01:09:17,360 --> 01:09:19,519
Speaker 1: Thank you, all right, that's great. CoA Seal, senior producer

1315
01:09:19,520 --> 01:09:21,799
Speaker 1: from NFL Films, joining us as he does every Friday,

1316
01:09:22,280 --> 01:09:26,559
Speaker 1: and his appearances every week presented by Scott Lonyard. So,

1317
01:09:28,479 --> 01:09:31,880
Speaker 1: I think the thing about Seattle's passing game that may

1318
01:09:31,920 --> 01:09:34,880
Speaker 1: catch some people off guard is they try to push

1319
01:09:34,920 --> 01:09:38,200
Speaker 1: the ball down the field. Now, if Metcalf can't play

1320
01:09:38,320 --> 01:09:41,720
Speaker 1: or is physically compromised, maybe that changes a little bit.

1321
01:09:41,800 --> 01:09:47,799
Speaker 1: But they let Gino chuck it like intermediate deep routes.

1322
01:09:47,840 --> 01:09:51,320
Speaker 1: There are a lot more in Seattle's passing game than

1323
01:09:51,320 --> 01:09:52,800
Speaker 1: in a lot of others around the league.

1324
01:09:52,880 --> 01:09:55,800
Speaker 2: They trust him, they trust Gina, which is, you know,

1325
01:09:55,920 --> 01:10:00,040
Speaker 2: from where the Bills fans sit, you know, after it

1326
01:10:00,040 --> 01:10:03,120
Speaker 2: seems crazy, right, but they do, and he's come through

1327
01:10:03,120 --> 01:10:05,120
Speaker 2: for them. Their top of the division, they got a

1328
01:10:05,120 --> 01:10:08,879
Speaker 2: winning record. They are when they've got all their guns blazing.

1329
01:10:08,920 --> 01:10:17,360
Speaker 2: They're really good football team. I just you know, it's

1330
01:10:17,680 --> 01:10:19,840
Speaker 2: weird for Bills fans. I think we're all in the

1331
01:10:19,880 --> 01:10:22,640
Speaker 2: same boat. We don't really have a vibe about how

1332
01:10:22,680 --> 01:10:23,720
Speaker 2: these teams match up.

1333
01:10:25,080 --> 01:10:27,040
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, they just don't see each other, don't see them.

1334
01:10:27,280 --> 01:10:30,280
Speaker 2: They just never see these dudes. It's not like going

1335
01:10:30,280 --> 01:10:32,360
Speaker 2: to Miami where it's like, oh yeah, okay, here we go.

1336
01:10:32,560 --> 01:10:34,400
Speaker 2: You know, everybody's got a handle on on They've got

1337
01:10:34,400 --> 01:10:37,000
Speaker 2: an evaluation of these teams against you. And not only that,

1338
01:10:37,080 --> 01:10:40,120
Speaker 2: but the second, you know, the second of a division

1339
01:10:40,240 --> 01:10:42,400
Speaker 2: series in the season, you feel like, okay, we.

1340
01:10:42,479 --> 01:10:45,320
Speaker 1: You know, and we didn't even mention this with Creig.

1341
01:10:45,400 --> 01:10:50,280
Speaker 1: You've your middle linebackers out of this game. That's not nothing. Yeah,

1342
01:10:51,040 --> 01:10:53,200
Speaker 1: Although if Seattle wants to try to make a considered

1343
01:10:53,200 --> 01:10:56,639
Speaker 1: effort to run the football, that would be a good

1344
01:10:56,640 --> 01:10:59,880
Speaker 1: thing because I think spec their strength is filling gaps

1345
01:10:59,880 --> 01:11:03,400
Speaker 1: and anticipating run angles and getting to the ball quickly.

1346
01:11:03,479 --> 01:11:06,000
Speaker 1: Like he's very good at that. So if they want

1347
01:11:06,000 --> 01:11:09,080
Speaker 1: to run the ball, that's fine by me. Inspecters in

1348
01:11:09,120 --> 01:11:10,719
Speaker 1: the game, because I think he can handle that side

1349
01:11:10,720 --> 01:11:16,880
Speaker 1: of the ledger. I'm very curious. I had an opportunity

1350
01:11:16,880 --> 01:11:19,760
Speaker 1: to talk to defensive coordinator Bobby Babbitt earlier today for

1351
01:11:19,840 --> 01:11:23,479
Speaker 1: our pregame radio interview, and I know he's expecting them

1352
01:11:24,000 --> 01:11:25,800
Speaker 1: to try to run the football at the beginning of

1353
01:11:25,800 --> 01:11:28,639
Speaker 1: the game, much like Greg outlined. You know that they

1354
01:11:28,680 --> 01:11:31,280
Speaker 1: tried to do last week and a couple of weeks

1355
01:11:31,320 --> 01:11:34,280
Speaker 1: prior to that, with very very limited success. And I

1356
01:11:34,280 --> 01:11:37,080
Speaker 1: think it's because they've got all these guys on their

1357
01:11:37,120 --> 01:11:39,439
Speaker 1: offensive line going in and out of the lineup. He

1358
01:11:39,520 --> 01:11:42,679
Speaker 1: got a rookie Division two player starting at right tackle.

1359
01:11:43,040 --> 01:11:44,920
Speaker 1: He had to start last week for them. He's going

1360
01:11:44,960 --> 01:11:47,040
Speaker 1: to have to start again this week because one of

1361
01:11:47,040 --> 01:11:48,519
Speaker 1: the other guys that was in the mix is now

1362
01:11:48,560 --> 01:11:51,519
Speaker 1: on IR with an injury. And maybe Jason Peters is

1363
01:11:51,520 --> 01:11:53,559
Speaker 1: the elevation from the practice squad if some of the

1364
01:11:53,560 --> 01:11:56,280
Speaker 1: guys from their reserve list are not yet ready after

1365
01:11:56,280 --> 01:12:00,759
Speaker 1: their practice windows just opened. So you're thin up front,

1366
01:12:00,800 --> 01:12:02,800
Speaker 1: and not only that, you've been moving guys in and

1367
01:12:02,800 --> 01:12:04,400
Speaker 1: out of the lineup. And I don't have to tell

1368
01:12:04,400 --> 01:12:07,639
Speaker 1: you when you have multiple combinations week over week, it's

1369
01:12:07,720 --> 01:12:10,519
Speaker 1: very hard to get any continuity of your consistency from

1370
01:12:10,560 --> 01:12:11,679
Speaker 1: your men up front on offense.

1371
01:12:11,920 --> 01:12:14,639
Speaker 2: Most teams, when they go through injuries on their offensive line,

1372
01:12:14,680 --> 01:12:16,920
Speaker 2: they start rotating guys in and out as an excuse

1373
01:12:16,920 --> 01:12:21,519
Speaker 2: for why they're playing bad. You know they're and you

1374
01:12:21,560 --> 01:12:24,439
Speaker 2: know this is a four and three team, and you

1375
01:12:24,439 --> 01:12:27,120
Speaker 2: know they're making chicken salad. You know, I mean, they

1376
01:12:27,120 --> 01:12:29,200
Speaker 2: really are. You got to tip your hat to them

1377
01:12:29,200 --> 01:12:32,960
Speaker 2: from having a winning record and not and doing it

1378
01:12:33,040 --> 01:12:35,840
Speaker 2: while their offensive line it looks like you know, a

1379
01:12:35,880 --> 01:12:39,320
Speaker 2: poker deck in Vegas. It's getting shuffled old time. So

1380
01:12:39,360 --> 01:12:43,240
Speaker 2: it's yeah, you've got to tip your hat. This is

1381
01:12:43,240 --> 01:12:45,320
Speaker 2: a good football team you're going up against. Their one

1382
01:12:45,439 --> 01:12:49,120
Speaker 2: game behind. Their record is one game worse than the Bills.

1383
01:12:49,120 --> 01:12:52,519
Speaker 2: They've lost one more game than Buffalo has. So they're

1384
01:12:52,560 --> 01:12:55,360
Speaker 2: doing some things really really well.

1385
01:12:55,520 --> 01:12:57,679

Speaker 1: thirty Go Reds. Then the Bills hopefully squawk the Hawks.

1399
01:13:55,280 --> 01:14:01,120
Speaker 1: I'm making a dip trio, my peerless squacamole, homemade habannaro

1400
01:14:01,280 --> 01:14:06,280
Speaker 1: salsa and jalapeno cheese dip and plenty of Canadian beer

1401
01:14:06,320 --> 01:14:10,880
Speaker 1: and Irish whiskey. Go Bills. Sounds like, uh, it's a

1402
01:14:10,920 --> 01:14:14,479
Speaker 1: dip weekend. He's just going all at chips and dip. Man.

1403
01:14:15,360 --> 01:14:18,360
Speaker 2: Are you you're Liverpool Arsenal? What do I need to

1404
01:14:18,360 --> 01:14:18,800
Speaker 2: know about that?

1405
01:14:19,479 --> 01:14:21,920
Speaker 1: Two of the premier teams in the English Premier League.

1406
01:14:21,960 --> 01:14:25,479
Speaker 1: It's even kind of a heavyweight type battle. Yeah, and

1407
01:14:25,520 --> 01:14:28,280
Speaker 1: they don't care for each other very much. It's not

1408
01:14:29,600 --> 01:14:31,760
Speaker 1: it's one of the bigger rivalries. I wouldn't call it

1409
01:14:31,760 --> 01:14:35,120
Speaker 1: the biggest rival for Arsenal. That's usually Man United or

1410
01:14:35,880 --> 01:14:38,800
Speaker 1: Tottenham would say Arsenal is their biggest rival, but Arsenal

1411
01:14:38,880 --> 01:14:41,120
Speaker 1: might disagree. It's a it's a heavyweight matchup for sure.

1412
01:14:41,240 --> 01:14:45,960
Speaker 1: Sweet So yeah, that's a good one, Connor says. Being

1413
01:14:46,000 --> 01:14:48,880
Speaker 1: out in Arizona. The game starts at one oh five

1414
01:14:49,479 --> 01:14:53,840
Speaker 1: and lunch lines up perfectly. The menu will feature air

1415
01:14:53,960 --> 01:14:57,439
Speaker 1: friar chicken wings in a red hot and butter sauce,

1416
01:14:58,040 --> 01:15:02,040
Speaker 1: shar cooterie board with various meats and cheeses. To end

1417
01:15:02,080 --> 01:15:04,320
Speaker 1: it off, an iced cold blue light and a slice

1418
01:15:04,360 --> 01:15:08,920
Speaker 1: of homemade pumpkin bread. It's a lot going on here

1419
01:15:09,000 --> 01:15:12,240
Speaker 1: is the season, yeah for anything pumpkin right?

1420
01:15:12,240 --> 01:15:15,360
Speaker 2: I guess yeah that does that go through Thanksgiving? Or

1421
01:15:15,400 --> 01:15:17,519
Speaker 2: does that just stop after Thanksgiving? After?

1422
01:15:18,360 --> 01:15:20,960
Speaker 1: I think it's got to come to a halt of Thanksgiving.

1423
01:15:21,760 --> 01:15:24,120
Speaker 2: Thanksgiving Yeah sure, I mean, I'm.

1424
01:15:24,000 --> 01:15:27,439
Speaker 1: Sure there are people that have pumpkin pie at Christmas time,

1425
01:15:27,520 --> 01:15:31,519
Speaker 1: but I don't think it's nearly as popular as it

1426
01:15:31,600 --> 01:15:34,519
Speaker 1: is when it's at Thanksgiving time. Pie is a staple

1427
01:15:34,560 --> 01:15:35,600
Speaker 1: at Thanksgiving.

1428
01:15:35,680 --> 01:15:38,080
Speaker 2: Absolutely. What about Christmas? What's your Christmas pie?

1429
01:15:38,920 --> 01:15:43,240
Speaker 1: Well? For me, it's always apple but OK, we usually

1430
01:15:43,320 --> 01:15:47,880
Speaker 1: have apple pie and pumpkin pie. I can eat pumpkin pie,

1431
01:15:47,880 --> 01:15:50,240
Speaker 1: but it's not one of my favorites. As a matter

1432
01:15:50,280 --> 01:15:53,559
Speaker 1: of fact, what we have incorporated into Thanksgiving a little

1433
01:15:53,560 --> 01:15:56,920
Speaker 1: bit more in the rotation. Pecan pie.

1434
01:15:57,360 --> 01:15:58,800
Speaker 2: See, I'm I'm a.

1435
01:15:58,800 --> 01:16:03,000
Speaker 1: Winner winner post Turkey dinner. Pecan pie.

1436
01:16:03,000 --> 01:16:06,880
Speaker 2: Pecan pie with hot with vanilla ice cream is the

1437
01:16:06,920 --> 01:16:11,040
Speaker 2: alomode of choice for me. Pecan pie is hard to

1438
01:16:11,040 --> 01:16:15,559
Speaker 2: beat out the pie. But I'll say this, pecan is

1439
01:16:15,600 --> 01:16:19,679
Speaker 2: a very underrated, very underrated. It's very good. It's very

1440
01:16:19,960 --> 01:16:22,280
Speaker 2: very good. Tape on ice cream, it's the one to

1441
01:16:22,479 --> 01:16:26,040
Speaker 2: even even for me, even more than peanuts than on

1442
01:16:26,120 --> 01:16:28,680
Speaker 2: ice cream. It's it's fantastic.

1443
01:16:28,160 --> 01:16:32,599
Speaker 1: All right. So you're a big nuts additive on ice cream.

1444
01:16:32,680 --> 01:16:34,960
Speaker 2: Not big, but they're my They're the ones that can

1445
01:16:35,080 --> 01:16:37,639
Speaker 2: go to Yeah, I would rather do and rather than

1446
01:16:37,640 --> 01:16:42,200
Speaker 2: a peanut hot fudge vanilla Sunday, I would rather go

1447
01:16:42,439 --> 01:16:44,639
Speaker 2: peanuts pecans hot fudge.

1448
01:16:45,200 --> 01:16:48,719
Speaker 1: Okay, Vanilla, I did not know that about you, Peanuts.

1449
01:16:48,760 --> 01:16:52,000
Speaker 1: I feel like I've learned something here today. Yeah, pecans, pecans,

1450
01:16:52,160 --> 01:16:56,400
Speaker 1: pecans topping. Oh yeah, absolutely, I have to trust me

1451
01:16:56,520 --> 01:16:58,720
Speaker 1: jump on that. I know I've talked before about my

1452
01:16:58,800 --> 01:17:01,760
Speaker 1: mom's candied pecan that she makes a Christmas time. Put

1453
01:17:01,800 --> 01:17:03,960
Speaker 1: that on your ice cream. You want to level it another.

1454
01:17:03,880 --> 01:17:05,479
Speaker 2: All about I know exactly what you mean.

1455
01:17:06,400 --> 01:17:09,360
Speaker 1: Have you ever done wings in an air fryer? They're

1456
01:17:09,400 --> 01:17:12,960
Speaker 1: pretty good? No, I was surprised when we did it.

1457
01:17:13,479 --> 01:17:15,479
Speaker 1: We did wings in an air fryer, and I just

1458
01:17:15,680 --> 01:17:20,559
Speaker 1: I took Frank's and some butter, just like Connor's doing there,

1459
01:17:20,720 --> 01:17:24,439
Speaker 1: I would. They were surprisingly crispy coming out of the

1460
01:17:24,479 --> 01:17:24,880
Speaker 1: air fry.

1461
01:17:25,040 --> 01:17:27,400
Speaker 2: Read Connor's recipe before we start talking about.

1462
01:17:27,160 --> 01:17:29,559
Speaker 1: This, the manual feature air fryer Chicken wings in a

1463
01:17:29,600 --> 01:17:31,200
Speaker 1: red hot and butter sauce. We already read it.

1464
01:17:31,280 --> 01:17:32,000
Speaker 2: Oh you did yeh?

1465
01:17:32,160 --> 01:17:33,679
Speaker 1: Where was I not listening?

1466
01:17:33,720 --> 01:17:36,559
Speaker 2: Click? I guess not so I have never I gotta

1467
01:17:36,560 --> 01:17:40,840
Speaker 2: be I gotta fess up. I have never done the wings.

1468
01:17:40,880 --> 01:17:43,880
Speaker 2: Myself cooked them up like start to finish. I've reheated him.

1469
01:17:43,880 --> 01:17:47,160
Speaker 2: That's my extent of my wing cooking abilities. I am

1470
01:17:47,240 --> 01:17:54,080
Speaker 2: always a I'm always a benefit beneficiary of somebody else's expertise.

1471
01:17:54,160 --> 01:17:56,680
Speaker 1: I mean, if you're if you're cooking wings for a

1472
01:17:56,760 --> 01:18:00,479
Speaker 1: large group, the air fryer becomes counterproductive just because you

1473
01:18:00,479 --> 01:18:02,439
Speaker 1: don't have a lot of surface area with which to work.

1474
01:18:02,439 --> 01:18:04,120
Speaker 1: Even if you have one of the bigger air fryers

1475
01:18:04,640 --> 01:18:06,840
Speaker 1: because you can only get about even in the big

1476
01:18:06,880 --> 01:18:09,000
Speaker 1: air friers, you can only get about eight to ten

1477
01:18:09,080 --> 01:18:10,960
Speaker 1: wings in there, and they're kind of sitting on top

1478
01:18:11,040 --> 01:18:13,960
Speaker 1: of each other where if you're just serving it for

1479
01:18:13,960 --> 01:18:16,599
Speaker 1: two people like my wife and I are empty in Ester's,

1480
01:18:16,600 --> 01:18:19,519
Speaker 1: we're cooking for two a lot. The air fryer is great,

1481
01:18:19,600 --> 01:18:22,040
Speaker 1: and I've heard super convenient because I would not want

1482
01:18:22,040 --> 01:18:24,320
Speaker 1: to put wings in a microwave to heat them up.

1483
01:18:24,560 --> 01:18:27,120
Speaker 1: That's just gonna make them They're gonna you're compromising the

1484
01:18:27,200 --> 01:18:28,320
Speaker 1: quality of the wing there.

1485
01:18:28,360 --> 01:18:31,439
Speaker 2: Stick your microwave, oven, oven or.

1486
01:18:31,439 --> 01:18:34,799
Speaker 1: Air fryer to reheat wings. Never the microwave.

1487
01:18:34,880 --> 01:18:36,800
Speaker 2: For me, it's always so yeah, I'm with.

1488
01:18:36,760 --> 01:18:39,160
Speaker 1: The air fryer would be a faster way to do that.

1489
01:18:39,160 --> 01:18:42,120
Speaker 1: That's my point there. And they come out pretty good. Uh,

1490
01:18:42,240 --> 01:18:45,439
Speaker 1: Anthony says, recently bought a house finally have the bills

1491
01:18:45,479 --> 01:18:50,160
Speaker 1: cave set up. Menu will be crock pot, French dip, sliders,

1492
01:18:50,880 --> 01:18:56,639
Speaker 1: chicken tenders. I'm also gently reminding my best friend's wife

1493
01:18:57,160 --> 01:18:59,599
Speaker 1: that she makes the best wing dip in the hopes

1494
01:18:59,600 --> 01:19:03,880
Speaker 1: that she brings some over. Just get the recipe.

1495
01:19:03,920 --> 01:19:04,120
Speaker 10: Man.

1496
01:19:05,240 --> 01:19:06,599
Speaker 2: Some people don't share that stuff.

1497
01:19:06,640 --> 01:19:09,080
Speaker 1: My wife does make a very good chicken wing dip.

1498
01:19:09,320 --> 01:19:11,080
Speaker 2: Maybe he's talking to you.

1499
01:19:11,520 --> 01:19:13,600
Speaker 1: Well, I'm not going I'm a little busy and I

1500
01:19:13,640 --> 01:19:15,760
Speaker 1: don't think my wife's going home on Sunday.

1501
01:19:17,000 --> 01:19:18,639
Speaker 2: All good stuff. Man, that is.

1502
01:19:19,080 --> 01:19:24,519
Speaker 1: Crock pot French dip sliders. That sounds DELECTI my goodness.

1503
01:19:24,840 --> 01:19:27,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm a big fan of the crock pot.

1504
01:19:27,920 --> 01:19:30,840
Speaker 1: French dip is underrated. You know, we do sometimes with

1505
01:19:30,960 --> 01:19:34,280
Speaker 1: our crockpot. We will just take like five or six

1506
01:19:34,400 --> 01:19:39,320
Speaker 1: chicken breasts, buffalo wing sauce, and like some garlic powder

1507
01:19:39,760 --> 01:19:41,480
Speaker 1: and we just leave it in the crockpot.

1508
01:19:41,600 --> 01:19:42,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, all day.

1509
01:19:43,160 --> 01:19:46,080
Speaker 1: By the time you come home, he's got shredded chicken

1510
01:19:46,600 --> 01:19:49,679
Speaker 1: for slider buns or you know those kings Hawaiian rolls.

1511
01:19:50,760 --> 01:19:52,599
Speaker 2: The sauce is great. Yeah, you're right, that's the best

1512
01:19:52,600 --> 01:19:54,479
Speaker 2: way to do it. Do it, let it do it

1513
01:19:54,479 --> 01:19:56,600
Speaker 2: all day. It's great. They need to come up and

1514
01:19:56,640 --> 01:19:59,840
Speaker 2: maybe they do a crockpot that turns itself on, you know,

1515
01:20:00,920 --> 01:20:02,960
Speaker 2: four hours and stuff. You said it you throw everything

1516
01:20:03,000 --> 01:20:04,960
Speaker 2: in there, oh, with a timer. Yeah, then at noon

1517
01:20:05,000 --> 01:20:06,679
Speaker 2: it turns on, so it's ready at five.

1518
01:20:06,760 --> 01:20:09,000
Speaker 1: Well, I'll tell you last week for the home game, here.

1519
01:20:10,040 --> 01:20:12,080
Speaker 1: I made my chili at about six in the morning.

1520
01:20:13,080 --> 01:20:14,559
Speaker 1: You know, I browned up the meat in a pan,

1521
01:20:14,760 --> 01:20:16,920
Speaker 1: but then I mix everything together in the crockpot and

1522
01:20:16,960 --> 01:20:20,000
Speaker 1: I put it on keep warm all day, and then

1523
01:20:20,040 --> 01:20:21,320
Speaker 1: I came home good to go.

1524
01:20:21,439 --> 01:20:22,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was beautiful to.

1525
01:20:22,840 --> 01:20:26,640
Speaker 1: The whole house like chili home, like what five thirty six?

1526
01:20:27,080 --> 01:20:29,519
Speaker 2: Yeah? See, I had I do the same thing we do.

1527
01:20:29,920 --> 01:20:32,439
Speaker 2: We do postgame live and then we takee bills tonight

1528
01:20:32,800 --> 01:20:34,519
Speaker 2: right after the game. So I get home about six

1529
01:20:34,680 --> 01:20:40,360
Speaker 2: thirty or seven quarters seven, and then I have my mind.

1530
01:20:40,400 --> 01:20:42,320
Speaker 2: Isn't a food thing. I go home and I get

1531
01:20:42,320 --> 01:20:44,639
Speaker 2: the I've got buddies that come over and we smoke

1532
01:20:44,680 --> 01:20:49,960
Speaker 2: cigars and watch the night game together outside and with

1533
01:20:50,080 --> 01:20:52,559
Speaker 2: the sounds lovely it is. It's very nice. It's not

1534
01:20:52,600 --> 01:20:54,040
Speaker 2: chili and the crock pop. It's nice.

1535
01:20:54,120 --> 01:20:59,200
Speaker 1: Yeah. Uh that is Tailgate Friday. Thank you all for

1536
01:20:59,280 --> 01:21:02,759
Speaker 1: your SUBMISSI. We appreciate it. We go from Tailgate Friday

1537
01:21:02,800 --> 01:21:06,000
Speaker 1: back to the fan mail bag where Andrew asks, I

1538
01:21:06,040 --> 01:21:08,800
Speaker 1: feel with Terrell Bernard being injury prone, we should bring

1539
01:21:08,800 --> 01:21:11,320
Speaker 1: in a cheap option at linebacker. A name that comes

1540
01:21:11,320 --> 01:21:14,680
Speaker 1: to mind is josh Ucha from New England. Patriots. I

1541
01:21:14,680 --> 01:21:16,719
Speaker 1: know you never want to trade with your division rivals,

1542
01:21:17,040 --> 01:21:19,200
Speaker 1: but he would be a cheap trade option for Brandon

1543
01:21:19,240 --> 01:21:22,879
Speaker 1: Bean thoughts. Well, he's not a middle linebacker by trade.

1544
01:21:23,360 --> 01:21:27,720
Speaker 1: He is an edge player and a pass rusher, So yeah,

1545
01:21:27,800 --> 01:21:31,360
Speaker 1: he doesn't really fit. I understand what you're saying. Steve

1546
01:21:31,400 --> 01:21:34,080
Speaker 1: and I were just having this conversation that this year

1547
01:21:34,080 --> 01:21:36,760
Speaker 1: in the draft, with ten picks, you probably have to

1548
01:21:36,800 --> 01:21:40,800
Speaker 1: get an athletic, instinctive player similar to Bernard, just for

1549
01:21:40,880 --> 01:21:43,800
Speaker 1: a depth piece there, because I think Dorian Williams long

1550
01:21:43,920 --> 01:21:47,320
Speaker 1: term is going to be Mulano's backup and then eventual

1551
01:21:48,080 --> 01:21:51,640
Speaker 1: successor as a weak side run and hit guy. I

1552
01:21:51,680 --> 01:21:55,439
Speaker 1: don't see him as a run the defense guy. Not

1553
01:21:55,520 --> 01:21:57,880
Speaker 1: to say that he can't. I just think his best

1554
01:21:57,920 --> 01:22:00,880
Speaker 1: position is where he is right now because he's racking

1555
01:22:00,920 --> 01:22:02,320
Speaker 1: up ten twelve tackles every week.

1556
01:22:02,360 --> 01:22:04,280
Speaker 2: Maybe the last guy standing this week, but I think

1557
01:22:04,320 --> 01:22:08,479
Speaker 2: probably that'll be Specter right this week, yes, and then

1558
01:22:08,680 --> 01:22:12,080
Speaker 2: uh yeah, so we'll see how that goes up. Now,

1559
01:22:12,240 --> 01:22:14,000
Speaker 2: all those guys, those guys got to stay on two

1560
01:22:14,000 --> 01:22:16,240
Speaker 2: good pins too. I mean, they can't get injured, right

1561
01:22:16,360 --> 01:22:21,479
Speaker 2: or you're gonna start to get panicky, so I'm the

1562
01:22:21,520 --> 01:22:23,760
Speaker 2: guys they got are fine for now until somebody else

1563
01:22:23,800 --> 01:22:26,880
Speaker 2: goes down, and then you gotta start. Yeah, you gotta

1564
01:22:26,920 --> 01:22:27,559
Speaker 2: start juggling.

1565
01:22:28,040 --> 01:22:31,519
Speaker 1: Robert asks, does the defense have scripted plays in the

1566
01:22:31,560 --> 01:22:33,800
Speaker 1: beginning of games like the offense does.

1567
01:22:34,600 --> 01:22:40,360
Speaker 2: Yes, they do, but it's obviously dictated by down a distance.

1568
01:22:40,520 --> 01:22:42,679
Speaker 2: So if the first play they have scripted on first

1569
01:22:42,720 --> 01:22:44,360
Speaker 2: and they'll script it like first and tent on the

1570
01:22:44,400 --> 01:22:46,400
Speaker 2: thirty think they're gonna get a touch back on them

1571
01:22:46,640 --> 01:22:49,080
Speaker 2: kickoff or whatever, they'll say, we're gonna come out in

1572
01:22:49,120 --> 01:22:51,559
Speaker 2: this right out of the gate, and if it goes

1573
01:22:51,880 --> 01:22:56,160
Speaker 2: you know, second and four or second and second and

1574
01:22:56,160 --> 01:22:58,000
Speaker 2: four to six, it's going to be this call second,

1575
01:22:58,280 --> 01:23:00,720
Speaker 2: second and one to four. One three is going to

1576
01:23:00,760 --> 01:23:03,040
Speaker 2: be this, second and long is going to be this.

1577
01:23:03,080 --> 01:23:06,200
Speaker 2: So they'll have a menu of scripted plays depending on

1578
01:23:06,280 --> 01:23:08,320
Speaker 2: how successful the offense they're facing is.

1579
01:23:08,840 --> 01:23:11,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, and this is a week also now that you're

1580
01:23:11,439 --> 01:23:14,519
Speaker 1: getting closer to mid season where you really have to

1581
01:23:14,560 --> 01:23:20,799
Speaker 1: have the antenna up for opponent tendency breakers. For example,

1582
01:23:21,240 --> 01:23:24,719
Speaker 1: we've seen the Seahawks come out and throw it sixty

1583
01:23:24,800 --> 01:23:26,920
Speaker 1: six percent of the time. It's one of the highest.

1584
01:23:27,160 --> 01:23:29,920
Speaker 1: It is the highest percentage of throwing in the league,

1585
01:23:30,520 --> 01:23:32,760
Speaker 1: and so the Bills are preparing for that all week,

1586
01:23:32,840 --> 01:23:35,160
Speaker 1: but in the back of their mind they have to

1587
01:23:35,200 --> 01:23:38,320
Speaker 1: be ready for a tendency breaker and say, look, they

1588
01:23:38,360 --> 01:23:40,800
Speaker 1: might try to run the football here when they've thrown

1589
01:23:40,800 --> 01:23:44,000
Speaker 1: it seventy five percent of the time, Tendency breakers tend

1590
01:23:44,000 --> 01:23:47,280
Speaker 1: to happen here betweens Week seven and ten the most

1591
01:23:47,360 --> 01:23:51,360
Speaker 1: because there's enough of a body of work where defenses

1592
01:23:51,400 --> 01:23:53,760
Speaker 1: feel like they've got a handle on an opponent. And

1593
01:23:53,800 --> 01:23:57,639
Speaker 1: that's just the point in time where those offensive coordinators say,

1594
01:23:58,000 --> 01:24:00,800
Speaker 1: let's use this tendency to our advance and go a

1595
01:24:00,800 --> 01:24:03,160
Speaker 1: different way. And then you got to play a little

1596
01:24:03,160 --> 01:24:05,320
Speaker 1: bit of catchup, which was the case last week. The

1597
01:24:05,400 --> 01:24:08,400
Speaker 1: Titans broke a lot of their tendencies last week, caught

1598
01:24:08,400 --> 01:24:10,600
Speaker 1: the Bills defense off guard at the very start of

1599
01:24:10,600 --> 01:24:13,000
Speaker 1: the game. And then they adjusted and they were fine

1600
01:24:13,080 --> 01:24:15,479
Speaker 1: and due course, but they used a lot of tendency

1601
01:24:15,479 --> 01:24:18,240
Speaker 1: breakers last week to kind of keep the Bills defense,

1602
01:24:18,840 --> 01:24:20,040
Speaker 1: that's how off balance.

1603
01:24:20,080 --> 01:24:22,439
Speaker 2: That got them off for the fast start. Yeah, Now,

1604
01:24:22,520 --> 01:24:24,679
Speaker 2: sooner or later, you know, they found their own level

1605
01:24:24,680 --> 01:24:26,360
Speaker 2: and the Bills were, you know, kind of waiting on

1606
01:24:26,400 --> 01:24:28,920
Speaker 2: them when they started having to get off script. But

1607
01:24:30,320 --> 01:24:31,720
Speaker 2: you know, once they got out to a ten to

1608
01:24:31,720 --> 01:24:33,679
Speaker 2: nothing lead, that was it for him. They didn't score

1609
01:24:33,720 --> 01:24:37,280
Speaker 2: another point. Yeah that Yes, the defense does script stuff

1610
01:24:37,320 --> 01:24:39,120
Speaker 2: just like the offense does, but it's a little more

1611
01:24:39,680 --> 01:24:45,120
Speaker 2: reactionary than the offense would be. The offense, you can

1612
01:24:45,160 --> 01:24:48,400
Speaker 2: imagine with their shifts and motions and personnel sets, they

1613
01:24:48,400 --> 01:24:51,360
Speaker 2: can kind of experiment with something. They'll put this group

1614
01:24:51,400 --> 01:24:53,439
Speaker 2: out there. They may just be running a quarterback dive

1615
01:24:53,560 --> 01:24:55,840
Speaker 2: or you know, a too simple off tackle play, but

1616
01:24:55,880 --> 01:24:57,759
Speaker 2: if you run it out of eleven personnel as opposed

1617
01:24:57,800 --> 01:25:01,800
Speaker 2: to thirteen personnel or you know, twenty one personnel, you

1618
01:25:01,840 --> 01:25:04,080
Speaker 2: get a different reaction from the defense. So they'll be

1619
01:25:04,520 --> 01:25:09,920
Speaker 2: experimenting with the defensive adjustments, the personnel adjustments, and they'll

1620
01:25:09,920 --> 01:25:12,160
Speaker 2: go from there and they'll start finding things out about

1621
01:25:12,200 --> 01:25:16,400
Speaker 2: the defense Defensively, you kind of put your people out

1622
01:25:16,479 --> 01:25:20,320
Speaker 2: there and you gotta let them play. So it's a

1623
01:25:20,360 --> 01:25:22,679
Speaker 2: different mindset when you talk about scripting calls.

1624
01:25:23,360 --> 01:25:25,639
Speaker 1: Gary asks Chris and Steve, do you believe the Bills

1625
01:25:25,640 --> 01:25:28,679
Speaker 1: should come out more aggressive and accentuate the passing game

1626
01:25:29,040 --> 01:25:32,880
Speaker 1: and let Josh take over early? I do Gary's undoubtedly

1627
01:25:33,760 --> 01:25:37,360
Speaker 1: got some recency bias after seeing Josh throw for two

1628
01:25:37,439 --> 01:25:39,519
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty eight yards in the second half last week,

1629
01:25:39,560 --> 01:25:42,240
Speaker 1: the most he's ever done in the second half. And

1630
01:25:42,320 --> 01:25:44,639
Speaker 1: I get it, they did throw more on first down

1631
01:25:44,680 --> 01:25:45,479
Speaker 1: in the second half.

1632
01:25:46,040 --> 01:25:46,599
Speaker 2: We know that.

1633
01:25:47,760 --> 01:25:50,360
Speaker 1: I tend to think they're going to be tempted to

1634
01:25:50,920 --> 01:25:54,040
Speaker 1: still turn to the run game early here, knowing that

1635
01:25:54,080 --> 01:25:58,160
Speaker 1: the Seahawks have not been a capable run front. I mean,

1636
01:25:58,200 --> 01:26:01,240
Speaker 1: they're last in the league in first down defense. They're

1637
01:26:01,280 --> 01:26:06,040
Speaker 1: giving up seven point seven yards on average on first down.

1638
01:26:06,120 --> 01:26:07,240
Speaker 1: It's worse than foot that.

1639
01:26:07,400 --> 01:26:09,800
Speaker 2: But I don't know how many might not be all run, Right,

1640
01:26:09,880 --> 01:26:11,960
Speaker 2: That's the thing. If if everybody else is thrown on

1641
01:26:12,000 --> 01:26:14,800
Speaker 2: first down they're being wildly successful, why do you not

1642
01:26:14,920 --> 01:26:15,200
Speaker 2: do that?

1643
01:26:15,280 --> 01:26:16,599
Speaker 1: Yeah, that could predicate it, But.

1644
01:26:16,600 --> 01:26:18,479
Speaker 2: I don't know those numbers. So if that's the case,

1645
01:26:18,960 --> 01:26:21,800
Speaker 2: then all that's off the table. Right. So, But if

1646
01:26:21,800 --> 01:26:24,519
Speaker 2: the Bills come out and they have an opening series

1647
01:26:24,560 --> 01:26:26,360
Speaker 2: like they did against the New York Jets, I'm okay

1648
01:26:26,360 --> 01:26:30,240
Speaker 2: with that too. I will say this, though, I would

1649
01:26:30,280 --> 01:26:32,479
Speaker 2: love at some point, you've got to get your passing

1650
01:26:32,520 --> 01:26:36,880
Speaker 2: game well oiled. You know, you gotta lean on it.

1651
01:26:36,920 --> 01:26:38,800
Speaker 2: Got it. There's gonna be games where they're gonna have

1652
01:26:38,840 --> 01:26:40,599
Speaker 2: to lean on it. They're gonna have to be sharp

1653
01:26:40,640 --> 01:26:42,320
Speaker 2: from the first snap of the game all the way

1654
01:26:42,360 --> 01:26:45,280
Speaker 2: through the end of the game. And this going down

1655
01:26:45,360 --> 01:26:47,000
Speaker 2: ten to nothing and going three and out in your

1656
01:26:47,000 --> 01:26:48,160
Speaker 2: first three series ain't gonna fly.

1657
01:26:48,640 --> 01:26:51,439
Speaker 1: Well, maybe the second half last week and the success

1658
01:26:51,439 --> 01:26:53,720
Speaker 1: of the passing game there can act as a springboard

1659
01:26:53,800 --> 01:26:54,639
Speaker 1: going forward here.

1660
01:26:54,760 --> 01:26:58,760
Speaker 2: That's yeah. I would say yes for a fans peace

1661
01:26:58,800 --> 01:27:00,479
Speaker 2: of mind. You would love to see come out and

1662
01:27:00,520 --> 01:27:03,120
Speaker 2: just go, you know, have Josh just go you know,

1663
01:27:03,479 --> 01:27:06,519
Speaker 2: plink ay, plink, plink boom down the field. Right, I've

1664
01:27:06,640 --> 01:27:08,160
Speaker 2: heard that in a while. I know it's been a while,

1665
01:27:08,200 --> 01:27:10,400
Speaker 2: so I pulled that out. You want to see him

1666
01:27:10,400 --> 01:27:12,000
Speaker 2: do that. You want to see him come out, you

1667
01:27:12,000 --> 01:27:17,240
Speaker 2: know and go five of five, have sprinkle in, three runs, touchdown.

1668
01:27:17,320 --> 01:27:22,880
Speaker 2: Let's go that. That sets you up, and that puts

1669
01:27:22,880 --> 01:27:24,760
Speaker 2: the defense in a bind because now they don't know

1670
01:27:24,760 --> 01:27:29,439
Speaker 2: what to do. It just mad. But that's just me

1671
01:27:29,479 --> 01:27:32,479
Speaker 2: as a fan. Coaching staff's up there going listen, if

1672
01:27:32,479 --> 01:27:35,080
Speaker 2: we can run every down, nobody cares. Let's go, let's

1673
01:27:35,080 --> 01:27:37,720
Speaker 2: win this game. I get that too.

1674
01:27:38,479 --> 01:27:40,360
Speaker 1: We have to take a break here when we come

1675
01:27:40,439 --> 01:27:43,960
Speaker 1: back Vision to Victory. We'll tell you what that is

1676
01:27:43,960 --> 01:27:46,280
Speaker 1: when we return here on one Bill's Live Presentabody Call

1677
01:27:46,280 --> 01:27:46,639
Speaker 1: Out of Health.

1678
01:27:46,640 --> 01:28:12,800
Speaker 9: It's Buffalo Bill's Radio.

1679
01:28:02,960 --> 01:28:06,599
Speaker 1: Vision to Victory, presented by Atwall Eyecare, the official eye

1680
01:28:06,640 --> 01:28:10,880
Speaker 1: care provider of the Buffalo Bills. And you know this

1681
01:28:10,960 --> 01:28:13,800
Speaker 1: is this is gonna be an interesting one, particularly for

1682
01:28:13,840 --> 01:28:15,799
Speaker 1: the defense, who are going to be without their captain

1683
01:28:15,880 --> 01:28:19,640
Speaker 1: Terrell Bernard or their rotational defensive tackle Dwayne Carter in

1684
01:28:19,680 --> 01:28:22,679
Speaker 1: this matchup. So a little short handed in the front seven,

1685
01:28:23,720 --> 01:28:25,920
Speaker 1: but there's a team that throws it all over the yard.

1686
01:28:27,320 --> 01:28:31,800
Speaker 1: Got to have an answer in coverage knowing that. You know,

1687
01:28:31,880 --> 01:28:34,599
Speaker 1: Specter got exposed on a play here last week when

1688
01:28:34,600 --> 01:28:36,080
Speaker 1: he had to step in for Bernard when he was

1689
01:28:36,080 --> 01:28:38,439
Speaker 1: initially injured. They went to the tight end and he

1690
01:28:38,479 --> 01:28:40,880
Speaker 1: had like a twenty five yard pass play that's going

1691
01:28:40,960 --> 01:28:43,360
Speaker 1: to be showing up on film for the Seattle. He

1692
01:28:43,439 --> 01:28:44,479
Speaker 1: came and throws it everywhere.

1693
01:28:44,520 --> 01:28:47,479
Speaker 2: He came in one play and they went right at him.

1694
01:28:47,880 --> 01:28:50,680
Speaker 2: So he's got to be aware of that and the

1695
01:28:50,840 --> 01:28:52,680
Speaker 2: and the team does as well. I think this is

1696
01:28:52,720 --> 01:28:55,160
Speaker 2: also a game where the Buffalo Bill's offense may be

1697
01:28:55,280 --> 01:28:59,839
Speaker 2: able to take another step forward. Uh, the Seattle defense

1698
01:28:59,880 --> 01:29:04,000
Speaker 2: is not tops in the league in any category, and

1699
01:29:05,120 --> 01:29:06,800
Speaker 2: you just got to be able to take advantage of that.

1700
01:29:08,439 --> 01:29:11,800
Speaker 2: I think you need to start to find your identity offensively.

1701
01:29:11,920 --> 01:29:13,320
Speaker 2: This could be a game to do it. Certainly, they

1702
01:29:13,400 --> 01:29:17,040
Speaker 2: run the ball well, but sooner or later you're gonna

1703
01:29:17,080 --> 01:29:20,519
Speaker 2: have to drop back and throw it when you got

1704
01:29:20,640 --> 01:29:21,960
Speaker 2: to win and you got to get off to a

1705
01:29:22,000 --> 01:29:26,360
Speaker 2: faster start. This may be a game where you make

1706
01:29:26,400 --> 01:29:29,080
Speaker 2: every effort to get that done right.

1707
01:29:29,840 --> 01:29:32,360
Speaker 1: The question is how do they do that. It's funny

1708
01:29:32,360 --> 01:29:34,360
Speaker 1: you're gonna want to listen to Bills by the Numbers

1709
01:29:34,360 --> 01:29:37,160
Speaker 1: this week as we kind of did a deep dive

1710
01:29:37,880 --> 01:29:41,000
Speaker 1: into the run game our weekly podcast Bills by the

1711
01:29:41,080 --> 01:29:44,400
Speaker 1: Numbers on any surprising numbers in there, Yeah, there are

1712
01:29:44,439 --> 01:29:47,320
Speaker 1: some surprising numbers in there. We also raise the possibility

1713
01:29:47,360 --> 01:29:52,240
Speaker 1: of a pony package two backs Davis and Cook on

1714
01:29:52,280 --> 01:29:53,920
Speaker 1: the field at the same time. I think that could

1715
01:29:53,920 --> 01:29:54,719
Speaker 1: present some problems.

1716
01:29:54,720 --> 01:29:56,639
Speaker 2: We're sitting there, we don't even watch practice, and we're

1717
01:29:56,640 --> 01:29:59,080
Speaker 2: calling personnel formations. So they're so bad.

1718
01:29:59,280 --> 01:30:02,320
Speaker 1: That's it for us today. Enjoy the game on Sunday, everybody,

1719
01:30:02,320 --> 01:30:03,920
Speaker 1: Steve and I will be back here on Monday to

1720
01:30:03,920 --> 01:30:06,960
Speaker 1: break it all down for you with a noon start time,

1721
01:30:07,120 --> 01:30:08,840
