1
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:36,680
Speaker 1: This One Bill's Live presented by Callida Health. How's everybody

2
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:37,280
Speaker 1: doing today?

3
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:39,640
Speaker 2: It's a Wednesday here on One Bill's Live. Chris Brown

4
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:44,920
Speaker 2: Maddy Lab with you players a walkthrough session today. As

5
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:47,240
Speaker 2: we get deeper into the season, this is kind of

6
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 2: par for the course, kind of take the.

7
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 1: Load off of the bodies, give them an extra day

8
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 1: to recover.

9
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 2: They'll be back at it on the practice field with

10
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 2: a more regular kind of practice tomorrow, rainy day here

11
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:00,279
Speaker 2: in western New York. So they were inside doing that

12
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 2: and two new players in attendance. We'll get into that

13
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:08,760
Speaker 2: in just a little bit. Did you stay up late

14
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:12,120
Speaker 2: when you're hanging around for any of the the mind

15
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:14,639
Speaker 2: numbing analysis I thought?

16
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 1: I thought sports.

17
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:20,560
Speaker 2: Analysis sometimes got in the weeds too far.

18
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:23,959
Speaker 1: Some of the stuff I saw last night for election.

19
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 2: Night coverage, Holy cow, like down to the counties and

20
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:30,760
Speaker 2: it's like and this is what it was in twenty twelve,

21
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:32,840
Speaker 2: and this is what it was in twenty this.

22
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 1: Outstanding vote.

23
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 2: I was like, wow, Like they eat it up for breakfast, lunch,

24
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:44,040
Speaker 2: and dinner, And kudos to them for knowing their stuff,

25
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 2: because that was a level, that was a microscopic level analysis.

26
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 1: And I was just I mean it was informative.

27
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 2: I'm not knocking it, but I couldn't believe how by

28
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 2: like nine o'clock I was done. I was like, my

29
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 2: brain's hurting, I can't do anymore.

30
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 3: I was so impressed with how people operate those touch screen.

31
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:08,800
Speaker 3: Yeahs Now, I'm going to write on here with a

32
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:11,520
Speaker 3: yellow marker and I'm going to draw this line. We've

33
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:13,920
Speaker 3: seen it on sports TV all the time, but I

34
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 3: feel like it's it's way more intricate when it comes

35
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 3: to election light and how people are trying to explain

36
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:24,360
Speaker 3: what's going on as votes are coming in and yeah, and.

37
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 2: They're doing numbers like changing in real time and doing

38
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 2: live math, which I never want to do with any

39
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:33,399
Speaker 2: form of regularity.

40
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 1: So kudos to the people working late last night doing

41
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 1: election coverage. That is not easy.

42
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 2: I did it a long time ago in news on

43
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 2: the local level. I can't imagine doing it on the

44
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 2: national level. And when you're doing it on the local level,

45
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 2: usually the people that are in charge of those things

46
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,800
Speaker 2: are spitting the numbers out to you. So fortunately I

47
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:55,959
Speaker 2: wasn't doing any live calculations on the air, because that

48
00:02:56,560 --> 00:03:00,640
Speaker 2: can really bend your sideways real quick if you're not

49
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:02,800
Speaker 2: paying attention because you're thinking about all these other things.

50
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,920
Speaker 2: But yeah, the touchscreen thing, it's like fifteen commands on

51
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:08,799
Speaker 2: the right rail there for these people. I mean, you

52
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 2: got to go through some serious training to master that

53
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,800
Speaker 2: in real time. All also making sense in what you're saying.

54
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, I feel like so much. So many times, you know,

55
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 3: technology just fails us, and for those things to just

56
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:24,079
Speaker 3: work flawlessly on those nights, Yeah, So.

57
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 2: It was it was interesting to see it in another forum,

58
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:31,079
Speaker 2: basically the election forum instead of the sports for where

59
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 2: we're usually consuming that stuff.

60
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 3: It's like red Zone Sunday, you know.

61
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 1: Yes, it was so, yeah, election Night's over.

62
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 2: I'm glad I don't have to see any more political

63
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 2: lance that was growing quite tired of them. So nice

64
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 2: to know that those are gone at least for a

65
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 2: little while, four years whatever. But we got to get

66
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 2: into the subject of the bills here, as there was

67
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 2: a lot that happened to the roster yesterday going into today,

68
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 2: and we'll begin with what happened yesterday. Mike Edwards, given

69
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 2: his release, moved on no longer on the roster. His

70
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 2: Bill's career ends with one tackle. One tackle. Wow, just

71
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:17,840
Speaker 2: couldn't get onto the field. Injuries obviously set him back

72
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:21,280
Speaker 2: in the offseason, and then for whatever reason, couldn't get

73
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 2: on the field here asked for his release after they

74
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 2: were unable to orchestrate a trade.

75
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 1: He was granted his release.

76
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 2: And according to reports, he is on his way to

77
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 2: Tennessee to sign with the Titans, pending a physical. Tennessee

78
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:36,719
Speaker 2: does have a need at the safety position due to

79
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 2: some injuries that they've suffered there, which was kind of

80
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:42,359
Speaker 2: the impetus for Buffalo's signings.

81
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:42,799
Speaker 1: Today.

82
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 2: The Bills have added two defensive tackles to their ranks

83
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 2: in the wake of two defensive linemen landing on injured

84
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 2: reserve and Dwayne Carter last week Dewan Smoot this week.

85
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 2: Both those players undergoing wrist surgery for wrist injuries. The

86
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 2: two players sign free agent defensive tackle Quentin Jefferson, who

87
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:06,160
Speaker 2: was released by Cleveland yesterday, and defensive tackle Jordan Phillips,

88
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 2: who was released by Dallas yesterday after coming off injured

89
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:10,279
Speaker 2: reserve following risk.

90
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:11,040
Speaker 1: Surgery of his own.

91
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:15,719
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, right, It's like, what's going on with risk

92
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:20,160
Speaker 2: injuries around here? They're NonStop. But in any event, both

93
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 2: those guys in the fold, participating here on site today

94
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 2: with the team, and obviously Jordan Phillips has a breath

95
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:33,600
Speaker 2: of knowledge of this defensive system. It was here last

96
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:37,039
Speaker 2: year for goodness sake, so it shouldn't be difficult for

97
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:40,040
Speaker 2: him to be quick on the uptake. And then Jefferson

98
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,920
Speaker 2: is an interesting player, Maddie, I think for a couple

99
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 2: of reasons.

100
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:46,839
Speaker 1: Yes, he was here before, but that was four years ago.

101
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 2: In twenty twenty, he's bounced around to a couple of

102
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 2: different teams, played for the Jets last year, was with

103
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 2: the Browns this year, but wasn't seen a lot of

104
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:58,279
Speaker 2: playing time. So the level of game shape for these

105
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:01,719
Speaker 2: two players is going to be a factor, because we

106
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 2: know Phillips has come off ir he hasn't been playing

107
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,840
Speaker 2: games and Jefferson hasn't been playing games because he's been inactive.

108
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 2: So the coaching staff's going to have to make an

109
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:13,920
Speaker 2: assessment this week as to whether or not they're fit

110
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:18,720
Speaker 2: to play and quite literally athletically conditioned to play on Sunday.

111
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 3: We'll hear from head coach Sean mcdermany later, but he

112
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 3: alluded to exactly that, saying they didn't play too much

113
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:27,279
Speaker 3: time in the league this year, and we have to

114
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:30,040
Speaker 3: see what type of football shape they're in once they

115
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 3: get into the building and then assess, Okay, where does

116
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:37,719
Speaker 3: that fit into this week, next week going forward. I

117
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:39,479
Speaker 3: don't think it's a shock at all that they bring

118
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 3: in two players who are familiar with this system. Yes,

119
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:45,839
Speaker 3: Quentin Jefferson a little bit longer ago, but anytime you

120
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 3: hear from our GM Brandon Bean and he gets into

121
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 3: moves during the season, just what it takes to understand

122
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 3: this defense that we run here. It seems like if

123
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 3: you're gonna if you need somebody at the mid season

124
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 3: mark Ones, we're already going you're gonna want to look

125
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 3: for somebody who understands the system because it's not something

126
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 3: that can be picked up. And this is probably the

127
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,280
Speaker 3: same for a lot of teams. It's not something that

128
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 3: can be picked up in a week. Especially on defense.

129
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 3: It takes a lot of time to learn and grabbing

130
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 3: somebody like Jordan Phillips, who was here last year, he

131
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 3: can just be plugged right in Quentin Jefferson, Hopefully he

132
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 3: can get a handle on things in a few weeks.

133
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 1: Because they need to help now.

134
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 2: I mean, it's not like they don't have enough bodies,

135
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 2: but they don't have a tremendous amount of depth right

136
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 2: now with Smooth down with Carter Down, so these guys

137
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 2: kind of fortify the ranks to some extent. Will be

138
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 2: interesting to see if either of them are fit to

139
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:48,240
Speaker 2: play on Sunday, even in a rotational type role, which

140
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 2: is what we would anticipate. The Smoot role is an

141
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 2: interesting one that needs to be filled here. Going forward

142
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 2: plays out on the edge on obvious rundowns and then

143
00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 2: kicks inside for passing downs and was responsible for calling

144
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 2: a lot of their pass rush games pre snap in

145
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 2: terms of what he saw from the opposing offensive formation

146
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 2: and alignment. And I wonder if Quentin Jefferson, maybe not

147
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 2: this week, but eventually steps into that role. And the

148
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 2: only reason I say that is because Jefferson has played

149
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 2: in a couple of three four schemes in recent years here,

150
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 2: most notably last year with the Jets, and they would

151
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 2: line him up out on the edge of their three

152
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 2: to four scheme. He'd played like a five technique or

153
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 2: something like that, and he was successful out there.

154
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 1: He had six sacks last year.

155
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 2: It's a career high for him, and I wonder if

156
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 2: he's the type I think body wise he is, do

157
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:45,680
Speaker 2: they think ability wise he is to play out on

158
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 2: the outside on rundowns, set the edge, and then maybe

159
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:51,840
Speaker 2: offer a little pass rush on the interior, similar to

160
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 2: the way Smooth played. If I had to pick between

161
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:55,679
Speaker 2: the two guys, that would be the guy that I

162
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:59,200
Speaker 2: would say could capably or would seem to be able

163
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:02,320
Speaker 2: to fill that that kind of role in the absence

164
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:02,959
Speaker 2: of spoot for.

165
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:05,080
Speaker 3: Now, And we'll get out on the practice field tomorrow

166
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:07,199
Speaker 3: and get to see a little bit of practice. It'll

167
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 3: be interesting to see if Quentin Jefferson is already moving

168
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 3: around on the defensive line, you'd figure he's the answer,

169
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:18,200
Speaker 3: or somebody in the building is the answer, because I

170
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 3: know casey two Hill is going to be somebody who's

171
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 3: probably used a little bit more. John Solomon might get

172
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:26,680
Speaker 3: some more opportunities as well being used out on the outside.

173
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 2: And in case you're wandering, Quentin Jefferson will be wearing

174
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:30,440
Speaker 2: jersey number seventy one.

175
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:32,559
Speaker 1: Jordan Phillips will be wearing.

176
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:35,839
Speaker 2: Jersey number ninety three, So mark it down in your

177
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 2: bill's roster programs. And as we said, for Jefferson second

178
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:43,680
Speaker 2: time here with the club for Phillips, it's his third

179
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:46,960
Speaker 2: go round here in twenty eighteen, twenty nineteen, then again

180
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 2: twenty twenty two to twenty twenty three, and now he's

181
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 2: back here in twenty twenty.

182
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:54,840
Speaker 3: Four and it's just in time for jacket season for

183
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:58,200
Speaker 3: Jordan Phillips. One of my favorite things about Jordan Phillips

184
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:01,680
Speaker 3: is the fact that once it gets cool, he is

185
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 3: rocking a jacket under his practice jersey, like Canada Goose type.

186
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:09,200
Speaker 1: Of jacket we're not talking is epic.

187
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 3: I love it. It's a long jacket. It's not a

188
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 3: short jacket. It's not just like a heavy sweatshirt. No,

189
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 3: it is a full fledged winter jacket that Jordan Phillips

190
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:18,440
Speaker 3: likes to rock.

191
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:18,760
Speaker 4: On the practice.

192
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 1: No wind breaker, it's a part. It's a full blown parker.

193
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:23,679
Speaker 2: So yeah, he looks like the Michelin man out there

194
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 2: with his jersey pulled over.

195
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 4: His winter coat.

196
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 2: It's kind of silly, but everybody loves it.

197
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:28,680
Speaker 1: It's a thing.

198
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 2: We should get to Bill's practice updates, which are presented

199
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 2: by Leecom. You're Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine, and

200
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 2: the main injury of concern here is that of Keon Coleman.

201
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 2: Bill's head coach Sean McDermott said Coleman would be the

202
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 2: only non participant in practice today. As we mentioned, it

203
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:50,959
Speaker 2: was a walk through practice, so make of that what

204
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 2: you will, but that the good news is that meant

205
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 2: Amari Cooper, Christian Benford, and Reggie Gilliam, all of whom

206
00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:00,160
Speaker 2: missed last week's game due to injury, are practice to

207
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:03,720
Speaker 2: sing in some capacity today well. Obviously obviously no more

208
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:08,359
Speaker 2: when the Wednesday injury report is released later this afternoon.

209
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 2: McDermott was pressed on the nature of Coleman's injury, and

210
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:14,440
Speaker 2: he said that Coleman has not yet been ruled out

211
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 2: for Sunday, but also acknowledged in the same breath, depending

212
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 2: on where things go, that Coleman's injury could keep him

213
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 2: out beyond this week.

214
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 1: And obviously he.

215
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 2: Was hurt on the personal foul penalty charge to Jordan

216
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 2: Poyer when he collided with him as a somewhat defenseless receiver.

217
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, Sean McDermott said he's going to know more on Friday,

218
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:38,360
Speaker 3: so hopefully we get another update later on this week.

219
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:41,200
Speaker 3: I like that, he said, you know, we're not ruling

220
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 3: him out at this point. Because when he said it

221
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 3: could be more than this week, my mind immediately goes to, oh,

222
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 3: we're without Coleman for this week, but knowing that they're

223
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:54,080
Speaker 3: not ready to rule him out yet, knowing that who knows,

224
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:57,200
Speaker 3: maybe things get better as we move on throughout the

225
00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:03,480
Speaker 3: week as more testing happens. That hopefully it's all positive

226
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:05,080
Speaker 3: news that we get from here on out. But I

227
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 3: think it is positive that they're not ruling him out

228
00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 3: already on Wednesday afternoon.

229
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:13,560
Speaker 1: So that's kind of the Bills news and notes for now.

230
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:16,000
Speaker 2: We should go around the NFL here because we are

231
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:17,960
Speaker 2: going to play you some of coach McDermott's comments in

232
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:21,440
Speaker 2: just a few minutes around the NFL, presented by Kalida Healthy,

233
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:24,319
Speaker 2: official healthcare system of the Buffalo Bills. We told you

234
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 2: about Mike Edwards. He's headed to the Titans. Looks like

235
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:29,560
Speaker 2: he's going to sign there if he passes a physical.

236
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:35,040
Speaker 2: For the second straight game, Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson

237
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 2: is going to play despite missing practice time. He didn't

238
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 2: participate in Tuesday's practice for the Ravens. Yesterday that is

239
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:46,959
Speaker 2: the only practice they're going to have prior to Thursday.

240
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:50,200
Speaker 2: Night's game against the Bengals in an NFC North matchup,

241
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:53,600
Speaker 2: he was listed with a knee injury.

242
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 1: Miss time last week, had a perfect passer rating.

243
00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:02,680
Speaker 2: On a shorter week, it's probably a little tougher, but

244
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:06,079
Speaker 2: he missed two practices last week back and knee injuries.

245
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:09,319
Speaker 2: This week only listed with the knee injury and probably

246
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 2: no practice outside of walkthrough.

247
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:14,200
Speaker 3: Stuff with him. I've learned to assume if he's not

248
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 3: practicing during the week, there's a big chance that he's

249
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 3: playing because it has just happened multiple multiple times now

250
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:23,920
Speaker 3: for Jackson, I got this, I got that. Were missing

251
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 3: a couple days at practice, game on Sunday. I'm gonna

252
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 3: be fine.

253
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 2: Speaking of the Ravens, they executed one of the last

254
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 2: trades of the day yesterday before the deadline. They traded

255
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 2: for Rams cornerback Tradavius White. The Ravens sent a twenty

256
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:41,960
Speaker 2: twenty six seventh round pick to the Rams for White

257
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:46,040
Speaker 2: and the rams twenty twenty seven seventh round pick, so

258
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 2: basically a swap of Sevens and Tree.

259
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 1: Davius Tredavius has.

260
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:55,720
Speaker 2: Been inactive since Week four of the season. He's just

261
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:58,320
Speaker 2: flat out cannot get on the field for the Rams

262
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:01,319
Speaker 2: ever since their starting corner Darius Williams came back from injury,

263
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:07,680
Speaker 2: so the Ravens needed corner depth. They ranked last in

264
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 2: the NFL in pass defense end plays of twenty.

265
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:13,319
Speaker 1: Yards or more allowed.

266
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 2: They've allowed thirteen touchdown passes to wide receivers this season.

267
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 2: That's the second most in the league. Their offense is

268
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 2: a juggernaut, but their defense is leaky.

269
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:24,000
Speaker 4: Hm.

270
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 3: That just makes me think, all right, if we play

271
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 3: them again in the playoffs, hopefully we can flip the script.

272
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 3: Weren't able to do that in their first matchup with

273
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 3: the Ravens this season, but yeah, if their defense can

274
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:36,320
Speaker 3: be had.

275
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 1: Fourth quarter leads big problem for them.

276
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 2: Yes, I think they're now scored in the fourth quarter

277
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:43,880
Speaker 2: like ninety four to thirty five or something.

278
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:45,120
Speaker 1: It's some insane number.

279
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:47,920
Speaker 3: It'll be an interesting Thursday nine game. I will be

280
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,160
Speaker 3: glued in on that one for sure.

281
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 2: As we said yesterday, Burrow's coming off a five touchdown

282
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:57,040
Speaker 2: heater last week in a victory, So good luck stopping

283
00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 2: that guy. Now you know why they made the trade,

284
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:01,240
Speaker 2: hoping it will help even a little bit. So here

285
00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:07,400
Speaker 2: is your NFL trade deadline tally nineteen players were traded

286
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 2: during this season, third most players traded in season since

287
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 2: nineteen ninety five. Eight players traded on deadline day, So

288
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 2: it was it was busy. There was a lot of activity,

289
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:23,200
Speaker 2: and a lot of people say, you know, this younger

290
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:26,280
Speaker 2: generation of gms that have come through in the last

291
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 2: six to seven years have been far more apt to

292
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:33,920
Speaker 2: make trades than the previous generation of gms, which focused

293
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 2: more on keeping their own and signing players.

294
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:39,200
Speaker 1: In free agency rather than executing trades.

295
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 3: We also we had a conversation in our area, in

296
00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 3: our desk area yesterday about the swapping that you see

297
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:49,360
Speaker 3: alongside of trading these players, swapping seventh round picks sixth

298
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 3: round picks, and thinking of it in the context of

299
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 3: the players that you're getting out of the NFL draft,

300
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 3: with just the status of college football today, knowing that

301
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 3: there's a lot of older college football players, with the

302
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 3: way that the transfer portal works and the extra year

303
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:11,120
Speaker 3: that you can get, and just the value of that

304
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 3: versus maybe getting somebody not being afraid to trade a

305
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:17,640
Speaker 3: sixth and a seventh to go get somebody who may

306
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 3: be a little bit older. In NFL years, we saw

307
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:24,280
Speaker 3: a lot of older defensive linemen get moved to teams

308
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:28,520
Speaker 3: last yesterday, not last week, and thinking about that in

309
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:33,080
Speaker 3: the context of versus the NFL draft and what you

310
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:36,920
Speaker 3: could be getting from a sixth or a seventh rounder

311
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:40,160
Speaker 3: with older players now coming into the NFL out of

312
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 3: college football.

313
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:42,680
Speaker 2: And by the time you're halfway through the season, you

314
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 2: kind of know what your team has and what your

315
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:48,520
Speaker 2: team needs, and the draft is not something that's going

316
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 2: to help you at this point in time. And what's

317
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 2: sitting out in free agency is slim pickings. So if

318
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 2: you can go get a known commodity for a modest

319
00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 2: piece of draft capital, it's clear that a lot of GM,

320
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:02,800
Speaker 2: especially if they feel they're in the running to really

321
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:06,280
Speaker 2: contend for a title, are willing to do that. We

322
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:10,040
Speaker 2: pivot now to Bill's head coach Sean McDermott, who addressed

323
00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:13,359
Speaker 2: the media last hour and broke down some things, including

324
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:17,760
Speaker 2: the improvement in Josh Allen's game this year. Yes, he

325
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 2: took another step somewhere where exactly, coach McDermott explains, among

326
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:23,360
Speaker 2: other things, here is Buffalo's head coach.

327
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:28,479
Speaker 4: Phillips.

328
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:32,920
Speaker 5: I guess my question, Sean would be of the Jordan

329
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:38,120
Speaker 5: of Phillips move has played, seeing me pretty well two weeks.

330
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 5: Why did that maybe elevate him to the fifty three

331
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:44,080
Speaker 5: as a bringing in Phillips?

332
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 4: Is there maybe that right?

333
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 6: Well, Uh, each situation is different, number one, So two

334
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:53,959
Speaker 6: is I think Ealy has done some good things to

335
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:59,399
Speaker 6: your point, valid point. Jordan Phillips, you know, was released

336
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:03,359
Speaker 6: from his other team, as was Q, so who knows

337
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:07,040
Speaker 6: where where that'll go, right. They haven't played a lot,

338
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:09,199
Speaker 6: either of them with their old clubs, so we've got

339
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:11,560
Speaker 6: to see if they're in they're in shape and fit

340
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:14,080
Speaker 6: to play and just take it one step at a time,

341
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 6: so we'll see where that goes.

342
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 7: So let's set tied to this sure as an ups

343
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:21,520
Speaker 7: did you give to be in the locker?

344
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:25,440
Speaker 6: And also on which you guys on thet Well, he's

345
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:29,680
Speaker 6: a he's a pro Russell is he's he's an instinctive

346
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:32,959
Speaker 6: football player, a good football player.

347
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:36,040
Speaker 8: He's been a he's been a nice addition to our team.

348
00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:39,640
Speaker 6: And you know, I just see his game getting better

349
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:40,440
Speaker 6: each and every week.

350
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:46,959
Speaker 7: To focus on to the best alignment inside up today,

351
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:51,359
Speaker 7: the priority on that position is it are you looking

352
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:53,400
Speaker 7: how much you're looking down the road for the playoffs

353
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:55,560
Speaker 7: and how much are you looking back and knowing the

354
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:58,200
Speaker 7: two people one hundred and twenty nine yards you last week?

355
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 6: You know again it's it's you're always trying to improve

356
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 6: your football team, whether it's fundamentals, whether it's fundamentally, technique wise,

357
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:13,000
Speaker 6: whatever it is. In this case, these two players came available,

358
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:16,080
Speaker 6: so you know, we bring them in and see what

359
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:21,359
Speaker 6: it looks like. So as it relates to giving up

360
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:25,639
Speaker 6: the running yards we gave up last week, we're adding

361
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:31,199
Speaker 6: players for the future here. It's all about trying to

362
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:34,440
Speaker 6: make our team better as much as we can. And

363
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:36,720
Speaker 6: you know, like I said, these two guys haven't played

364
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:42,320
Speaker 6: a lot this year, and so we get them in

365
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:44,960
Speaker 6: here and see are they in, what type of football

366
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:48,399
Speaker 6: shape they're in and uh and how they fit into

367
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:51,200
Speaker 6: where we're trying to go with our team moving forward.

368
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:53,440
Speaker 4: Why he was here?

369
00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:56,479
Speaker 9: You know, what traits does he bring to the field

370
00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:58,800
Speaker 9: that make you interested.

371
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:04,320
Speaker 6: In well again it you know, remember him from twenty twenty,

372
00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:07,560
Speaker 6: been keeping you know, our eyes on him as he's

373
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:11,520
Speaker 6: been going through his journey over the last couple of seasons.

374
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:15,639
Speaker 6: And not as much tape this year, a little bit

375
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:22,240
Speaker 6: more tape last year, had some production last year, and

376
00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:24,480
Speaker 6: I think it was with the Jets last season, So

377
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:28,920
Speaker 6: saw them up closed last year and.

378
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:29,959
Speaker 8: You know, again just taking it one day at a

379
00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:30,680
Speaker 8: time and.

380
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:34,520
Speaker 6: Just trying to put our best players on the field

381
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:36,240
Speaker 6: and put the players in position to succeed.

382
00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:40,920
Speaker 10: Sorry, how much do you value having previous relationships with

383
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 10: guys which so you bring in guys for second or

384
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:44,359
Speaker 10: third stance in the past.

385
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:45,800
Speaker 2: How much did that factor into this?

386
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:46,560
Speaker 4: Both people?

387
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:49,119
Speaker 8: Uh, well, I give them credit.

388
00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 6: I think that you know, players that have left here

389
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,000
Speaker 6: wanting to come back, I think is a great sign

390
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:57,560
Speaker 6: of our team, of our culture.

391
00:20:58,920 --> 00:20:59,119
Speaker 4: You know.

392
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:02,680
Speaker 6: Beyond that, Uh, A question for Brandon at that point

393
00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:06,359
Speaker 6: in terms of I wasn't involved in the the the

394
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:07,240
Speaker 6: communication there.

395
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:10,600
Speaker 11: So to go back to Maury, you know, he's slowly

396
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:12,200
Speaker 11: been here a few weeks. Just where do you see

397
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 11: him at an acclimating to the team, since he's had

398
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:15,879
Speaker 11: some limited practice.

399
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:18,840
Speaker 8: Times on Mari How do I see him.

400
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 11: Now that he's been here a few weeks? How has

401
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:22,880
Speaker 11: he acclimated to the team, the playbook and everything, even

402
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:25,400
Speaker 11: though he's had some injuring limitations.

403
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:29,920
Speaker 6: Yeah, hard to say. He hasn't really practiced, you know

404
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:32,280
Speaker 6: what I mean? He's been I think it was two

405
00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:34,359
Speaker 6: weeks or week and a half or whatever, give or takes.

406
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:36,560
Speaker 6: So as of last week, he practiced a little bit

407
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:40,880
Speaker 6: and we'll see where it goes this week. To give

408
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:43,400
Speaker 6: you an accurate read on where he is with the playbook,

409
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:47,440
Speaker 6: it's he right now, he's spending as much time in

410
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:49,679
Speaker 6: the training room as he is in the in the

411
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:53,720
Speaker 6: uh you know, process of UH of game planning and

412
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:54,520
Speaker 6: all that type of stuff.

413
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 8: So it's it's hard for me to say accurately in

414
00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:57,320
Speaker 8: this case.

415
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:02,760
Speaker 7: Your years with with Josh, what did you sort of observe.

416
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:05,280
Speaker 5: Or lean about the way he approaches.

417
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:08,640
Speaker 10: Like a year over year improvement and how he evolves

418
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:11,080
Speaker 10: you know each year starting going to be a high

419
00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:12,320
Speaker 10: level contificate though.

420
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean his year to year improvements have been

421
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:21,960
Speaker 6: very impressive on the field. Off the field, his command

422
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:25,040
Speaker 6: of our offense this year in particular, not that it

423
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:27,879
Speaker 6: hasn't been good in the past, but this year you know,

424
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:32,400
Speaker 6: stands out to me, and his leadership on our football

425
00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:37,639
Speaker 6: team UH as well. So he's just that's what you

426
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 6: want the players for each for each and every player

427
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:41,520
Speaker 6: to get better and better each and every year.

428
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:44,879
Speaker 8: Is that always the case, not necessarily.

429
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:48,399
Speaker 6: It's just kind of the the.

430
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:48,840
Speaker 8: The way the journey goes once in a while.

431
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:51,760
Speaker 6: But with Josh, I think he's gotten better each and

432
00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:52,200
Speaker 6: every year.

433
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:55,040
Speaker 10: Music and then of the offense, how do you define

434
00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:57,720
Speaker 10: that and what are the signs that you're seeing that regard.

435
00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:01,320
Speaker 6: Well, I would say over all, if you just watch,

436
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:05,520
Speaker 6: you know the game, even even from a fan standpoint,

437
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:07,959
Speaker 6: you know, you watch his comfort level in the pocket,

438
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 6: you watch his progressive progression progressing through his progressions and

439
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:18,000
Speaker 6: his progression reads, and you know just his comfort level

440
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 6: and decisiveness with what he wants to get done with

441
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:23,760
Speaker 6: the ball when the ball is in his hands, and

442
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:26,960
Speaker 6: even some things at the line of scrimmage that that

443
00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:30,320
Speaker 6: he's doing game in and game out for us. So

444
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:33,240
Speaker 6: I just think when you play that quarterback position, there's

445
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:36,400
Speaker 6: just so much when you come into the league on

446
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:39,200
Speaker 6: one shoulders, whether it's on the field or off the field,

447
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:42,080
Speaker 6: And he's done a great job of chipping away at

448
00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:45,680
Speaker 6: that growth and into that kind of workload. And where

449
00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:48,560
Speaker 6: he is now is I really believe he's at the

450
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:50,200
Speaker 6: top of his game as well.

451
00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:54,239
Speaker 7: As the team's done in overcoming injuries and having run

452
00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:57,880
Speaker 7: guy out of the lineup each week and what have you what,

453
00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:00,760
Speaker 7: how much do you hope to get some level stability

454
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:04,520
Speaker 7: on that front at some point and how much a

455
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:09,359
Speaker 7: challenge is that to develop an identity, you know, towards

456
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:10,080
Speaker 7: the end of the season.

457
00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:13,160
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think we've got a very resilient football team,

458
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:17,479
Speaker 6: very tough football team, and tough minded team. You know,

459
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:20,560
Speaker 6: it's this part of the season, it's middle of the

460
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:23,119
Speaker 6: year or just beyond the middle of the season, and

461
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:26,440
Speaker 6: we've had to you know, work ourselves through some of

462
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 6: that and continuing going forward as well. So I think

463
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:33,760
Speaker 6: you find out about your football team. You find out

464
00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:38,240
Speaker 6: about how the character of your football team, the toughness

465
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:41,199
Speaker 6: of your football team. And you know, last week we

466
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:43,080
Speaker 6: didn't we didn't have our best game and we found

467
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:45,040
Speaker 6: a way to win. I think that's that's also speaks

468
00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:48,000
Speaker 6: vous about our football team. Like I said, after the game,

469
00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:50,119
Speaker 6: with a lot to work on. And today I'll be

470
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:52,600
Speaker 6: a walkthrough because of the where we're at in the

471
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:54,400
Speaker 6: season and just trying to get the guys fresh again.

472
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:58,480
Speaker 4: Here Joe Flat.

473
00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:00,720
Speaker 7: Thirty nine years old, you have based on my up since.

474
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:03,000
Speaker 8: Your second year here, But what do you see from him?

475
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:03,520
Speaker 4: Uh?

476
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:04,800
Speaker 5: And what he does for that offense.

477
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:07,680
Speaker 6: Yeah, one of the best to play the position. He's

478
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:10,840
Speaker 6: been playing for you know, quite some time, as we're

479
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:13,840
Speaker 6: all aware, and there's not a defense he hasn't seen

480
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:19,520
Speaker 6: already from a disguise standpoint everything. So you know, he's

481
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:21,440
Speaker 6: he's on top of his game and we have a

482
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:22,720
Speaker 6: lot of respect for his game.

483
00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:27,680
Speaker 5: Him last week, So they do do you think you

484
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:29,520
Speaker 5: need to get I mean, I know you're probably not

485
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:31,000
Speaker 5: going to do that a lot, but you need to

486
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:33,520
Speaker 5: get pressure on him because he is an older guy

487
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:34,639
Speaker 5: who gamberly escape.

488
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:38,040
Speaker 6: Well, I believe pressure alway starts with the front four.

489
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:41,439
Speaker 6: And you know that's where you know, to to just

490
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:46,840
Speaker 6: blitz irresponsibly, is is in some ways irresponsible at times, right,

491
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:49,080
Speaker 6: So I came, don't forget, I came from a very

492
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:50,440
Speaker 6: blitz oriented.

493
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:52,840
Speaker 8: Background, right.

494
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:56,440
Speaker 6: So all in all though, in order to do that,

495
00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:58,840
Speaker 6: you have to have the complement of a four man rush,

496
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:02,440
Speaker 6: and I think that's where you know, we want to

497
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:07,200
Speaker 6: continue to to to to put all of our eggs

498
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:09,120
Speaker 6: in that basket to start off, and said, hey, how

499
00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:11,200
Speaker 6: good is our format rush? And I think at times

500
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:12,800
Speaker 6: it's been really good, and I think at other times

501
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:16,440
Speaker 6: it can be better. As you know, winning the line

502
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:19,040
Speaker 6: of scrimmage is vastly important to winning in the NFL

503
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:22,840
Speaker 6: run game or pass game in this case. So that's

504
00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:25,919
Speaker 6: that's our that's our base, is that format rush and

505
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:28,160
Speaker 6: everything stems from that.

506
00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:30,440
Speaker 5: Say what do you w on the on the days

507
00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:32,399
Speaker 5: where you don't have a good pass work? What do

508
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 5: you think is I'll be back.

509
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:34,400
Speaker 12: Let's fee that ship.

510
00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:38,840
Speaker 6: You tell me what game, and I'll try and give

511
00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:42,360
Speaker 6: you the better explanation as to why it wasn't as

512
00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:43,399
Speaker 6: good as we needed it to be.

513
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:45,240
Speaker 5: Do you think it needs to be better overall?

514
00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:45,480
Speaker 12: Shot?

515
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:47,440
Speaker 7: Than what should names?

516
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:50,520
Speaker 6: You know? I think if you look at last week's game,

517
00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:53,680
Speaker 6: we didn't have enough third and long one dimensional type situations.

518
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:56,560
Speaker 6: So that doesn't speak of the pass rus That speaks

519
00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:59,640
Speaker 6: of first and second down defense, in particular first down defense.

520
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:03,600
Speaker 6: So and then the complimentary piece of putting a team

521
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:07,159
Speaker 6: into a one dimensional type situation as a team. So

522
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:10,520
Speaker 6: you know, those go hand in hand, and it's not

523
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:13,040
Speaker 6: just the front four. The coverage piece has to work

524
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:15,680
Speaker 6: together with it as well. So these are all areas

525
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:18,920
Speaker 6: here where we are trying to improve and and and

526
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:22,879
Speaker 6: become a better football team. So that process continues, and

527
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:26,040
Speaker 6: that's why we're going out to practice, albeit to walk through.

528
00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:29,840
Speaker 6: But you know, for any team to say they're satisfied

529
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:33,400
Speaker 6: at the midway point with everything they're doing, that's that's

530
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:34,280
Speaker 6: just not who we are.

531
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:36,480
Speaker 1: So Sean, I know that.

532
00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:39,360
Speaker 13: Todd Vasby the AFC Special Teams.

533
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:41,480
Speaker 4: Player to be. I know it's just a war. They

534
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:42,520
Speaker 4: don't really need all that much.

535
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:44,199
Speaker 12: But in that decision, that.

536
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:49,639
Speaker 14: Award for position that's so mentally tough, what can that

537
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:50,879
Speaker 14: do for his confidence?

538
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:53,159
Speaker 4: Yeah?

539
00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 6: That was a big time kick and in a big

540
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:59,960
Speaker 6: time moment of the game. And I think it just

541
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:03,920
Speaker 6: shows you what he's capable of. And you know, you've

542
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:06,159
Speaker 6: you've got to be tough minded in order to do that,

543
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:11,040
Speaker 6: and and he executed. So I don't think we need

544
00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:14,120
Speaker 6: to think twice about where he's at or anything like that.

545
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:16,440
Speaker 8: He just showed us where he's at.

546
00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:19,200
Speaker 6: And uh and that was a big time play for us,

547
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:23,240
Speaker 6: and certainly out the outcome was the outcome. So the

548
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:25,919
Speaker 6: journey continues and we're moving forward and uh and so

549
00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:28,760
Speaker 6: is he so extremely proud of him and and looking

550
00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:33,240
Speaker 6: forward to uh uh two more of him just being

551
00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:35,120
Speaker 6: the player that he is, and he's capable of being

552
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:36,679
Speaker 6: top for one hour.

553
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:39,960
Speaker 14: From from Jordan and Lake, let's take shoots to fill

554
00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:41,160
Speaker 14: for for your defense.

555
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:44,520
Speaker 15: How how you've seen Taylor and Tomorrow kind of grow

556
00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:46,480
Speaker 15: into those respective roles this season.

557
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:48,560
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think they've done a real nice job. I

558
00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:49,080
Speaker 8: really do.

559
00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:52,600
Speaker 6: You know, do they have the experience maybe that Jordan

560
00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:55,040
Speaker 6: and Micah do and some of the things that they

561
00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:57,840
Speaker 6: were that were kind of feathers in their cap.

562
00:28:57,920 --> 00:28:59,760
Speaker 8: Maybe not yet, but that'll come.

563
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:03,480
Speaker 6: And I think those two players have been very consistent

564
00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:05,680
Speaker 6: for us and probably some of the more consistent players

565
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:08,719
Speaker 6: we've had a health wise, even though they've both been

566
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:10,560
Speaker 6: a little bit banged up. I mean, every player is

567
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:13,960
Speaker 6: this time of year, right, But I think their consistency

568
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:15,840
Speaker 6: has been important for us. You know, when you look

569
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:18,640
Speaker 6: at last week, we had some runs get out to

570
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:23,040
Speaker 6: the earlier point that was made, and I think when

571
00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:25,120
Speaker 6: you can put a net on the run like those

572
00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:27,760
Speaker 6: two did in the secondary, that was that was big

573
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:30,360
Speaker 6: for us because those can those can go to the house,

574
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:32,520
Speaker 6: and those guys did a great job in the in

575
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:34,760
Speaker 6: the tackling aspect for us last last week.

576
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:37,920
Speaker 2: All right, all right, So that's Bill's head coach Sean

577
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 2: McDermott addressing the media last hour, shedding some light on

578
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:44,520
Speaker 2: a number of things, including the additions to the roster,

579
00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:46,920
Speaker 2: what's going on with the pass rush, et cetera. Got

580
00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:48,760
Speaker 2: to take a break here, but when we come back,

581
00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:51,080
Speaker 2: the walk through practice for the Bills is over, which

582
00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:55,560
Speaker 2: means players are at the post practice podium. We'll have Josh.

583
00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:56,640
Speaker 1: Allen for you when we return.

584
00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:58,920
Speaker 2: Here on a Wednesday edition of One Bills Live, presented

585
00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:15,240

00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:17,760
Speaker 2: here on a Wednesday edition of One Bill's Live. As

00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:20,320
Speaker 2: we told you before the break, practice is over, players

588
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:22,160
Speaker 2: at the post practice podium.

589
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:24,400
Speaker 1: First up is Josh Allen. So let's hear from the

590
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:28,440
Speaker 1: Bills quarterback. Now, one of the challenges now not.

591
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:32,320
Speaker 4: Know we don't know about. I'm already get either.

592
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:34,680
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean throughout the course of the season. That's

593
00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:37,280
Speaker 9: it's gonna happen. That's the name of the game. It's

594
00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:40,240
Speaker 9: not if you get hurt, it's when you get hurt. Right,

595
00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:43,479
Speaker 9: So just dealing with you know, whether we have new

596
00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:45,760
Speaker 9: guys are you know, we got to get them moving

597
00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:46,640
Speaker 9: around a little bit today.

598
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:48,800
Speaker 4: It was good to see. So jury is still out

599
00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:51,320
Speaker 4: and again we we rock with who we got.

600
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:55,120
Speaker 9: We do a good job in our offensive unit meetings

601
00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:58,880
Speaker 9: and getting guys ready to go. So whatever the case is,

602
00:30:58,880 --> 00:30:59,760
Speaker 9: well we'll be prepared.

603
00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:05,040
Speaker 16: So you were I think you were probably at eleven

604
00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:06,800
Speaker 16: years old, who clock always drafted?

605
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:09,320
Speaker 13: That's pretty That's pretty crazy, isn't it.

606
00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:12,400
Speaker 9: Yeah, Now, he's a he's a He's an absolute baller.

607
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:15,280
Speaker 9: He throws one of the prettiest balls you'll ever see.

608
00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:17,200
Speaker 9: I got the chance to spend a little bit of

609
00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:19,240
Speaker 9: time with him in Tahoe at the golf tournament this

610
00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:22,760
Speaker 9: last year, and uh, he's an awesome guy too. So

611
00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:25,720
Speaker 9: he's been around some of my friends, whether it was

612
00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:28,360
Speaker 9: in New York with Sam or Mike, so for a

613
00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:30,360
Speaker 9: lot of good stories, a lot of good things about him,

614
00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:32,080
Speaker 9: and I got to see it firsthand in Tahoe, so

615
00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:32,960
Speaker 9: I got a lot of respect for.

616
00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:34,560
Speaker 4: Him and his game.

617
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:39,400
Speaker 9: So, uh, super Bowl winning quarterback, that's you know, he's

618
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:41,240
Speaker 9: he's one of the one of the ones. He's he's

619
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:44,960
Speaker 9: fantastic player, but you an't even better person. I realize

620
00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:47,400
Speaker 9: I'm a has been out, but just working with him

621
00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:50,480
Speaker 9: and meeting just how do you feel he's just the

622
00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:53,719
Speaker 9: scheme in general, being an experienced guy. Yeah, I mean,

623
00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:55,880
Speaker 9: I think since day one when he stepped in the building,

624
00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:58,560
Speaker 9: he was ready to go. And uh, he's only again

625
00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:00,640
Speaker 9: continued to learn the playbook and earn his role in

626
00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:03,200
Speaker 9: this offense. And you know, whether we get him back

627
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:05,280
Speaker 9: this week or the next, or whenever that case is,

628
00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:06,640
Speaker 9: you know, I know he's gonna be ready to go,

629
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:09,120
Speaker 9: and Uh, it'll be kind of plug and playing feel

630
00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:10,120
Speaker 9: pretty seamless out there.

631
00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:14,800
Speaker 17: A couple familiar faces back Jordan Quinton from your experience

632
00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:17,040
Speaker 17: with them, what do they bring to the defense, What

633
00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:17,800
Speaker 17: do they bring to.

634
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:18,360
Speaker 4: The locker room?

635
00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:22,720
Speaker 9: Well, big bodies number one, the familiarity with what we

636
00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:25,080
Speaker 9: got going on here in Buffalo and type of type

637
00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:27,280
Speaker 9: of men that we have in this locker room. And

638
00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:30,320
Speaker 9: they've been playing really good football. You know, I think

639
00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:33,080
Speaker 9: Q had ten plus sacks last year, if I if

640
00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:36,840
Speaker 9: I recall correctly, and I know Phil has been uh

641
00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:39,640
Speaker 9: hasn't been playing much of this year with an injury,

642
00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:42,240
Speaker 9: but glad to have those two back. They've been again

643
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:44,840
Speaker 9: good locker room guys for us, and they'll make an

644
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:46,240
Speaker 9: immediate impact on the field.

645
00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:49,160
Speaker 13: They have this Colts defense, what's what are some of

646
00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:49,880
Speaker 13: the issues you're.

647
00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:50,360
Speaker 4: Going to be dealing with.

648
00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:53,560
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean, I think they move around well. Their linebackers,

649
00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:57,000
Speaker 9: they flow very very fast. It's you know, the hard

650
00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:59,360
Speaker 9: group to run on, and they play a lot of

651
00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:01,880
Speaker 9: ben don't break defense where they're gonna force you to

652
00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:03,840
Speaker 9: take some things that are underneath.

653
00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:07,000
Speaker 4: I think their past rush unit's pretty pretty dang good.

654
00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:10,960
Speaker 9: You know, as we get more into the third down

655
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:13,040
Speaker 9: and the red zone today and tomorrow will get a

656
00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:13,760
Speaker 9: better sense of it.

657
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:15,840
Speaker 4: But you look at every.

658
00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:19,840
Speaker 9: Game that they've played, They've they've been in every single one,

659
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:21,880
Speaker 9: and I think that's large in part to their defense,

660
00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:27,960
Speaker 9: you know, creating some takeaways and forcing or forcing field

661
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:30,840
Speaker 9: goals and not touchdowns down there in the red zone.

662
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:32,120
Speaker 4: So it's a it's a really good unit.

663
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:35,240
Speaker 16: Saw that all day last week. I guess everything is

664
00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:38,560
Speaker 16: they kind just to five. So you're seeing that with

665
00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:40,160
Speaker 16: the Colts too when you watch them on the film.

666
00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:42,720
Speaker 16: It's gonna be simmlar, you think, Yeah, I think so.

667
00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:46,160
Speaker 9: And again, every every team's got different wrinkles when they

668
00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:48,360
Speaker 9: play us, and we'll have to be prepared and ready

669
00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:52,640
Speaker 9: to adjust in game. But you know, typically from what

670
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:56,880
Speaker 9: they've shown this year, pretty heavy in zone defense, don't

671
00:33:56,920 --> 00:33:59,040
Speaker 9: bring a whole lot of pressures on first and second down,

672
00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:02,600
Speaker 9: but when they get you third down, they they're they're

673
00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:04,560
Speaker 9: a good unit. So we've got to be prepared for

674
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:05,840
Speaker 9: the best punch, all right.

675
00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:07,520
Speaker 18: To put you off. Talk to Joe this week a

676
00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:10,200
Speaker 18: little bit about how he's wanting to call plays that

677
00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:12,200
Speaker 18: guys want to see out there and that kind of thing,

678
00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:14,319
Speaker 18: and from the Friday meetings and all that, what has

679
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:17,320
Speaker 18: been the impact from your perspective of like running plays

680
00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:18,800
Speaker 18: that guys maybe want to see.

681
00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:19,600
Speaker 4: In that sort of thing.

682
00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:21,640
Speaker 9: Yeah, I think a lot of its ownership, guys taking

683
00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:24,759
Speaker 9: accountability of you know, if I told Joe that I

684
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:26,239
Speaker 9: want this play and he calls it, I got to

685
00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:28,880
Speaker 9: go and make it work because you know, we're putting

686
00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:32,279
Speaker 9: ourselves on the line there in terms of him trusting us,

687
00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:35,960
Speaker 9: and you know, as long as we keep executing some

688
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:37,440
Speaker 9: of the plays that we like, he's going to keep

689
00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:41,359
Speaker 9: calling them. So again, the more you do, you know,

690
00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:44,840
Speaker 9: Joe always talks about the greatest reward.

691
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:46,359
Speaker 4: For doing is the opportunity to do more.

692
00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:48,279
Speaker 9: So that's that's all it really is, is just making

693
00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:51,200
Speaker 9: sure that we're holding ourselves accountable and if he's going

694
00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:54,400
Speaker 9: to go out there and be a friendly play caller

695
00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 9: like that, that we got to make it work and

696
00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:57,520
Speaker 9: make him look good at the same time.

697
00:34:57,719 --> 00:35:00,960
Speaker 18: Obviously he wants to call place that you're comfortab with, especially,

698
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:03,359
Speaker 18: but is there do you have any examples of maybe

699
00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:06,279
Speaker 18: something you were really passionate that like he called that,

700
00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:08,440
Speaker 18: maybe he wasn't true, but you know, there is conversation

701
00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:09,399
Speaker 18: about Yeah, And I think.

702
00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:12,680
Speaker 9: It comes down to even going back to a couple

703
00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:16,040
Speaker 9: of weeks ago in Seattle, third down, third and short go,

704
00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:18,520
Speaker 9: there's a time out, go over to the sideline. I

705
00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:20,520
Speaker 9: told him to play that I wanted and he called

706
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:23,040
Speaker 9: it and it worked out. And it's it's fulfilling for

707
00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:25,080
Speaker 9: me that it worked, but for him too, it's like,

708
00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:27,520
Speaker 9: all right, you know, I trust this guy in what

709
00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:31,200
Speaker 9: he's seeing and you know, to have a healthy relationship

710
00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:33,080
Speaker 9: like that with your OC and he trusts you like that,

711
00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:34,640
Speaker 9: it's a it's a dang good feeling.

712
00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:36,000
Speaker 4: When you go into an offseason.

713
00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:38,840
Speaker 10: What is your kind of process for how to go

714
00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:43,200
Speaker 10: about like year over year improvement and has it evolved

715
00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:43,720
Speaker 10: all over.

716
00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:44,680
Speaker 12: Over your career?

717
00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:46,839
Speaker 9: Yeah, I think each and every year it's just again

718
00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:48,680
Speaker 9: finding something that I want to improve on.

719
00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:50,080
Speaker 4: There's always something.

720
00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:52,680
Speaker 9: I think this last year especially was the mental part

721
00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:56,680
Speaker 9: of the game and understand the offense and you know,

722
00:35:56,800 --> 00:35:59,160
Speaker 9: just making sure that I'm making good decisions with the football,

723
00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:01,399
Speaker 9: trying to limit turn on and I'm not going out

724
00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:03,600
Speaker 9: there not trying to throw interceptions. I think I'm just

725
00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:06,120
Speaker 9: going out there trying to make the right decision and

726
00:36:06,120 --> 00:36:08,840
Speaker 9: then trusting trusting my arm, trusting my feet, and trusting

727
00:36:08,840 --> 00:36:11,840
Speaker 9: the guys around me and being okay with whatever outcome

728
00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:12,799
Speaker 9: comes with it.

729
00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:14,920
Speaker 10: I mentioned like that the command you've gotten now with

730
00:36:15,080 --> 00:36:17,600
Speaker 10: the team and the offense as something that played stuck

731
00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:20,279
Speaker 10: out to him that for you this year, is that

732
00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:22,440
Speaker 10: like a natural outgrowth you think of you just you know,

733
00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:24,360
Speaker 10: getting a year older and being around or does it

734
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:26,120
Speaker 10: come from you know, the team getting a little younger

735
00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:26,800
Speaker 10: a little.

736
00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:29,560
Speaker 9: Yeah, I think it's a natural progression throughout the years

737
00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:31,960
Speaker 9: that I've been in the league, and you know, wouldn't

738
00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:34,000
Speaker 9: say that I had this type of command in my

739
00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:36,520
Speaker 9: first couple of years, and every year that I've again

740
00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:40,160
Speaker 9: grown and seen more football and been in different situations

741
00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:43,880
Speaker 9: and been with different teammates and learning how to handle

742
00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:44,919
Speaker 9: different personalities.

743
00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:46,880
Speaker 4: You know, that all plays into it.

744
00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:49,319
Speaker 9: And again that offseason it's a good time to sit

745
00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:53,440
Speaker 9: back and reflect and bank those mental notes and really

746
00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:54,960
Speaker 9: figure out how to be the best leader and the

747
00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:55,960
Speaker 9: best teammate that I can be.

748
00:36:56,360 --> 00:36:57,560
Speaker 1: So how do you do that?

749
00:36:57,640 --> 00:36:59,640
Speaker 10: Like, like, like how do you hold like a mental

750
00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:01,600
Speaker 10: approach when you're not playing football? You know, like, is

751
00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:03,720
Speaker 10: it just watching film? Is it talking to coaches?

752
00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:04,440
Speaker 1: Like what's this?

753
00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:05,040
Speaker 19: Yeah?

754
00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:08,719
Speaker 9: I mean talking talking with coaches, obviously watching film, but

755
00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:11,040
Speaker 9: again talking with teammates and staying in touch and making

756
00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:13,960
Speaker 9: sure that we're on the same page and trying to

757
00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:18,040
Speaker 9: get again as many mental reps as possible, whether we're

758
00:37:18,040 --> 00:37:20,200
Speaker 9: on a football field or we're just hanging out, we're

759
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:23,880
Speaker 9: on the golf course again talking getting to know somebody deeper,

760
00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:26,960
Speaker 9: because I do believe that pays dividends on the football field.

761
00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:31,640
Speaker 7: What's it like when the switch goes on for the offense?

762
00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:33,600
Speaker 13: Has happened after that turnover?

763
00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:38,000
Speaker 7: First quarter on Sunday, there's several games for you guys

764
00:37:38,239 --> 00:37:40,000
Speaker 7: just went touchdown touchdown touchdowns?

765
00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:43,399
Speaker 13: What's that like and and why is it?

766
00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:44,560
Speaker 4: Well?

767
00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:46,720
Speaker 9: I think it's a good feeling when when this switch

768
00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:49,080
Speaker 9: is on, and hopefully we can get that switch turned

769
00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:53,759
Speaker 9: on when the game starts. But I think it's a

770
00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:56,520
Speaker 9: culmination of a few things. Whether it's you know, early

771
00:37:56,600 --> 00:38:00,120
Speaker 9: on just again being mentally prepared, ready to go, but

772
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:03,759
Speaker 9: also like wearing on teams, you know, committing to the

773
00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:07,800
Speaker 9: run game and you know, getting the screen game involved

774
00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:09,440
Speaker 9: and taking our shots, but when they're not there to

775
00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:11,359
Speaker 9: checking it down and making sure that we're holding on

776
00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:13,640
Speaker 9: to the ball and ending every possession and a kick

777
00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:15,920
Speaker 9: I'll be it a pun of field goal or touchdown

778
00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:16,440
Speaker 9: or a.

779
00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:19,360
Speaker 4: Point after touchdown.

780
00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:23,120
Speaker 9: Just again, I think the more plays that you can run,

781
00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:26,400
Speaker 9: the more opportunities that you have. And again, our o

782
00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:30,320
Speaker 9: lines done such a good job of creating lanes in

783
00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:32,480
Speaker 9: the run game or are running backs are running it

784
00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:35,320
Speaker 9: hard and that puts a defense in a tough situation

785
00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:36,319
Speaker 9: throughout an entire game.

786
00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:39,759
Speaker 14: Elena, that there are titles this year where you've said,

787
00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:42,080
Speaker 14: on third down, I want to run this play. Is

788
00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:45,280
Speaker 14: that something new this year or is it your confidence

789
00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:48,319
Speaker 14: level with the offense and where you are in your

790
00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:51,799
Speaker 14: career that you've started to say, hey, I want this

791
00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:52,799
Speaker 14: Is that something new?

792
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:54,279
Speaker 13: Did you do that your rookie year or.

793
00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:55,840
Speaker 9: Is this something I don't think I did it my

794
00:38:55,920 --> 00:38:58,680
Speaker 9: rookie year, but it's not entirely new.

795
00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:01,759
Speaker 4: But uh, again, for.

796
00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:05,520
Speaker 9: Really a first year play caller, if you will. With

797
00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:08,680
Speaker 9: Joe and me, I know we had half a year

798
00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:10,840
Speaker 9: last year and this is the first full year. But

799
00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:12,600
Speaker 9: for him to have that trust in me so early,

800
00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:16,120
Speaker 9: that's obviously something that we've talked about and we trust

801
00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:19,880
Speaker 9: each other and feel good about and our relationships only growing.

802
00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:23,560
Speaker 9: So I appreciate and respect him for that and trusting

803
00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:27,640
Speaker 9: me in those types of situations. But ultimately, again, whatever

804
00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:28,800
Speaker 9: he calls, I'm gonna go up there and try to

805
00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:29,680
Speaker 9: execute to the best of my.

806
00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:33,840
Speaker 11: Ability any major moves trades in terms of me yesterday,

807
00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:35,200
Speaker 11: what do you think that sounds about the case?

808
00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:38,920
Speaker 9: For Yeah, I know he trusts, trusts the guy in

809
00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:42,080
Speaker 9: this room, trust the guys in this room, and you know,

810
00:39:42,120 --> 00:39:43,239
Speaker 9: we've got a lot of love and a lot of

811
00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:46,920
Speaker 9: faith in each other in this building, and ultimately that's

812
00:39:46,719 --> 00:39:49,040
Speaker 9: the only thing that matters.

813
00:39:49,040 --> 00:39:54,880
Speaker 17: So first time play caller with this organization. Coach Cory

814
00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:57,640
Speaker 17: comes in, what does he bring to the table as quarterback?

815
00:39:57,960 --> 00:40:01,319
Speaker 4: Has been awesome? He he brings familiarity with Joe.

816
00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:04,319
Speaker 9: Obviously they were in New Orleans together for quite some time.

817
00:40:05,560 --> 00:40:07,120
Speaker 4: He's been around really good offenses.

818
00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:09,320
Speaker 9: He's been around Drew Brees, who's one of the greatest

819
00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:12,400
Speaker 9: quarterbacks of all time. A lot of good tidbits of information.

820
00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:17,279
Speaker 9: His ability to not just to speak to the quarterbacks,

821
00:40:17,520 --> 00:40:19,920
Speaker 9: but when we meet as wide receiver group, you know

822
00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:24,120
Speaker 9: he's played the position, he's done that, he understands sometimes

823
00:40:24,160 --> 00:40:29,480
Speaker 9: the way communication needs to be had about certain routes

824
00:40:29,560 --> 00:40:33,160
Speaker 9: or concepts with certain guys. And he's been a tremendous

825
00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:35,840
Speaker 9: help for me. A lot of success to him this

826
00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:38,800
Speaker 9: year because he's been he's been fantastic, and really everybody

827
00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:40,520
Speaker 9: in that room has been so great over.

828
00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:45,960
Speaker 13: Takes off the field and getting up the reports. Where

829
00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:48,960
Speaker 13: did you learn, because we've never really acted, Where did

830
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:50,719
Speaker 13: you see that? How did you learn that that was

831
00:40:50,760 --> 00:40:51,400
Speaker 13: an important that?

832
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:53,400
Speaker 9: I mean, I think it's just kind of how I

833
00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:56,240
Speaker 9: grew up. Obviously grew up in the middle of nowhere.

834
00:40:56,480 --> 00:40:59,880
Speaker 9: Uh really just had my family Miles a stay at

835
00:40:59,880 --> 00:41:02,080
Speaker 9: home mom and and took care of us and dad

836
00:41:02,120 --> 00:41:04,560
Speaker 9: was working a lot. But when we got into high school,

837
00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:09,359
Speaker 9: whether we were hanging out with friends or teammates. It

838
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:11,520
Speaker 9: was my parents did such a good job of like

839
00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:15,200
Speaker 9: having everyone at our place, you know, And maybe I

840
00:41:15,280 --> 00:41:17,120
Speaker 9: just it's a learned trade of seeing that. It was

841
00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:20,279
Speaker 9: just spending time with other people and just getting to

842
00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:21,759
Speaker 9: know each other again. Not a whole lot to do

843
00:41:21,880 --> 00:41:25,960
Speaker 9: out on the farm except to play guards, play outside,

844
00:41:26,040 --> 00:41:28,359
Speaker 9: play some video games with each other. So I think

845
00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:29,640
Speaker 9: that's kind of where it stems from.

846
00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:33,440
Speaker 11: You mentioned Joe Brady calls the player that you like,

847
00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:35,839
Speaker 11: and what it does for you personally? What happens when

848
00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:37,680
Speaker 11: he calls to play that one of your teammates, like, like,

849
00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:39,200
Speaker 11: what's it like to see that he gets something to

850
00:41:39,239 --> 00:41:40,480
Speaker 11: be able to tart as.

851
00:41:40,520 --> 00:41:41,439
Speaker 13: Kind of a firm plan.

852
00:41:41,719 --> 00:41:44,360
Speaker 9: Oh, they know what they understand and they appreciate it,

853
00:41:44,520 --> 00:41:47,040
Speaker 9: especially early on in the game when we're sitting in

854
00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:47,719
Speaker 9: that meeting, like.

855
00:41:49,360 --> 00:41:50,600
Speaker 4: What play do you want to get going?

856
00:41:50,680 --> 00:41:50,879
Speaker 1: Early?

857
00:41:50,920 --> 00:41:53,359
Speaker 9: Kalil like what would get you going? And he gives

858
00:41:53,360 --> 00:41:55,359
Speaker 9: a play and Joe's like, all right, that's it's play

859
00:41:55,440 --> 00:42:00,239
Speaker 9: number three. Right, So like early on, it's a good

860
00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:02,200
Speaker 9: feelings as a receiver or a tight end or a

861
00:42:02,239 --> 00:42:04,440
Speaker 9: running back or even an old line to know that

862
00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:06,480
Speaker 9: like what I'm saying, is being heard by the guy

863
00:42:06,520 --> 00:42:07,840
Speaker 9: that's calling the plays are on the field.

864
00:42:08,239 --> 00:42:09,359
Speaker 13: One more question about Judje.

865
00:42:09,440 --> 00:42:13,400
Speaker 12: Different offensive coordinators have different ways of sort of approaching.

866
00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:16,560
Speaker 13: Adjustments at halftime. How does Joe approach that specifically?

867
00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:18,840
Speaker 16: And maybe how has that allowed you guys to be

868
00:42:18,920 --> 00:42:20,800
Speaker 16: so successful in the second half of the season.

869
00:42:20,840 --> 00:42:23,120
Speaker 9: Yeah, he's been as consistent as possible in terms of,

870
00:42:23,360 --> 00:42:25,520
Speaker 9: you know, when we're in there, it's hey, we're not

871
00:42:25,560 --> 00:42:27,680
Speaker 9: gonna blink. We're gonna keep calling what we're calling. Let's

872
00:42:27,719 --> 00:42:31,520
Speaker 9: keep wearing on, guys and just hit our opportunities and

873
00:42:32,120 --> 00:42:34,000
Speaker 9: play better. It's what it comes down to is going

874
00:42:34,040 --> 00:42:35,560
Speaker 9: out there and executing the play that he calls.

875
00:42:36,880 --> 00:42:40,520
Speaker 2: All right, that's Bill's quarterback, Josh Allen. Interesting that, you know,

876
00:42:40,600 --> 00:42:43,160
Speaker 2: the subject came up about his command of the offense.

877
00:42:44,160 --> 00:42:48,439
Speaker 2: I was talking to Joe Brady last week about this, saying, Hey,

878
00:42:48,560 --> 00:42:50,960
Speaker 2: you know you've got him playing with instructure more. Is

879
00:42:50,960 --> 00:42:52,960
Speaker 2: that because you've taken more off his plate? And he

880
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:56,960
Speaker 2: told me, actually, no, Josh has got even more responsibility now,

881
00:42:57,000 --> 00:42:58,480
Speaker 2: which kind of surprised me a little bit.

882
00:42:58,480 --> 00:42:59,680
Speaker 1: I was surprised to hear that.

883
00:42:59,760 --> 00:43:03,040
Speaker 2: So knowing that coach believes he's got more command of

884
00:43:03,080 --> 00:43:06,040
Speaker 2: the offense. Kind of lends credence to the fact that

885
00:43:06,360 --> 00:43:09,080
Speaker 2: he's got such command of it, we can give him more.

886
00:43:09,280 --> 00:43:13,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, And he's spoken the press conference about this offseason

887
00:43:13,080 --> 00:43:15,600
Speaker 3: really wanting to work on his mental side of the

888
00:43:15,640 --> 00:43:19,839
Speaker 3: game and just an overall understanding, not really understanding, because

889
00:43:19,840 --> 00:43:23,680
Speaker 3: he understands the offense, but maybe it's just like the

890
00:43:23,719 --> 00:43:26,880
Speaker 3: offense is me. That's how well I understand it. And

891
00:43:26,920 --> 00:43:29,400
Speaker 3: I think we're seeing that play out on the field

892
00:43:29,719 --> 00:43:33,359
Speaker 3: on Sundays, on Thursdays, on Monday. The way that he's

893
00:43:33,400 --> 00:43:38,239
Speaker 3: playing the position now in his seventh season is with

894
00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:43,799
Speaker 3: that command and with that wholehearted understanding of this is

895
00:43:43,840 --> 00:43:47,520
Speaker 3: how we operate and I'm not going to put the

896
00:43:47,560 --> 00:43:49,800
Speaker 3: ball in harm's way and I'm going to make the

897
00:43:49,880 --> 00:43:53,080
Speaker 3: right decision. And we've seen it through nine games now

898
00:43:53,160 --> 00:43:54,640
Speaker 3: like this is who he is now.

899
00:43:54,960 --> 00:43:59,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's impressive, And through the first eight games prior

900
00:43:59,280 --> 00:44:03,720
Speaker 2: to last week's game, it was the highest quarterback rating

901
00:44:03,760 --> 00:44:06,160
Speaker 2: of his career through the first eight games of a season,

902
00:44:06,280 --> 00:44:10,160
Speaker 2: second best in team history behind only Jim Kelly in

903
00:44:10,280 --> 00:44:12,640
Speaker 2: nineteen ninety one. He was at one oh seven point

904
00:44:12,760 --> 00:44:15,560
Speaker 2: six last week prior to the Dolphins game.

905
00:44:15,840 --> 00:44:16,960
Speaker 1: Gotta take a break here.

906
00:44:17,400 --> 00:44:20,000
Speaker 2: When we come back, we'll lay out our topic of

907
00:44:20,040 --> 00:44:22,560
Speaker 2: discussion for you. Have yet to do that yet with

908
00:44:22,600 --> 00:44:25,200
Speaker 2: all the coach and players sound we've had thus far.

909
00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:26,839
Speaker 2: We'll get to that when we return here on One

910
00:44:26,880 --> 00:44:45,160
Speaker 2: Bill's Live, stay with us time out for this week's

00:44:54,360 --> 00:44:57,600
Speaker 2: over Wilson in the first round of the Class D Playoffs.

915

Speaker 2: In Section five, Brockports Paul Corella takes home the honors

916

Speaker 1: Each coach will receive.

920
00:45:11,560 --> 00:45:16,919
Speaker 2: One thousand dollars for their program. Congratulations, Chris Brown, Matti

921
00:45:17,040 --> 00:45:19,440
Speaker 2: lab with you here on a Wednesday edition to One

922
00:45:19,480 --> 00:45:22,399
Speaker 2: Bills Live. And topic of discussion for you today, which

923
00:45:22,440 --> 00:45:23,120
Speaker 2: we've yet to get to.

924
00:45:23,160 --> 00:45:23,759
Speaker 1: We've had a lot of.

925
00:45:23,719 --> 00:45:26,440
Speaker 2: Stuff clogging up the first hour of the show. What

926
00:45:26,560 --> 00:45:30,120
Speaker 2: is the biggest storyline for this weekend's game with the Colts.

927
00:45:31,120 --> 00:45:33,839
Speaker 2: I mean, there's a bunch of things that it could

928
00:45:33,920 --> 00:45:37,280
Speaker 2: be based on player availability with some of these injuries, Maddie,

929
00:45:37,320 --> 00:45:40,000
Speaker 2: but I think there are some obvious ones in here

930
00:45:40,120 --> 00:45:42,959
Speaker 2: based on maybe what's been ailing the Bills a little

931
00:45:42,960 --> 00:45:47,280
Speaker 2: bit and what the Colts can do well at times.

932
00:45:47,280 --> 00:45:50,000
Speaker 2: Although they haven't scored more than twenty points in a month.

933
00:45:50,000 --> 00:45:54,200
Speaker 3: Ooh yeah, yikes, but their defense is keeping them in games.

934
00:45:54,239 --> 00:45:58,319
Speaker 3: I think that's been interesting is they haven't let up

935
00:45:58,360 --> 00:46:01,400
Speaker 3: too many points. They take the ball away at a

936
00:46:01,440 --> 00:46:03,480
Speaker 3: really high rate, but they give up a lot of

937
00:46:03,560 --> 00:46:06,040
Speaker 3: yards on the ground and in the air. I think

938
00:46:06,080 --> 00:46:09,600
Speaker 3: one place that I go to big storylines for this

939
00:46:09,719 --> 00:46:11,560
Speaker 3: game is what are we going to get out of

940
00:46:11,600 --> 00:46:15,560
Speaker 3: this Joe Flacco offense. We heard from ESPN NFL analyst

941
00:46:15,640 --> 00:46:18,800
Speaker 3: Dani Rolovski yesterday and he told us there's a big

942
00:46:18,840 --> 00:46:22,880
Speaker 3: difference from an Anthony Richardson led offense compared to a

943
00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:26,520
Speaker 3: Joe Flacco led offense. The run game with Joe Flacco

944
00:46:26,520 --> 00:46:30,520
Speaker 3: completely dropped off a cliff. Jonathan Taylor wasn't as effective

945
00:46:30,560 --> 00:46:35,399
Speaker 3: with Flacco as their quarterback. Does that continue Orlovsky also

946
00:46:35,480 --> 00:46:39,719
Speaker 3: said Flacco's not afraid to throw it into crowded areas

947
00:46:40,360 --> 00:46:41,960
Speaker 3: and that we're going to see a lot of play actions.

948
00:46:41,960 --> 00:46:44,640
Speaker 3: So I'm very interested to see what we get out

949
00:46:44,640 --> 00:46:48,240
Speaker 3: of second week in a row with Joe Flacco.

950
00:46:48,520 --> 00:46:51,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, age thirty nine and he still has complete confidence

951
00:46:51,800 --> 00:46:53,920
Speaker 2: in his arm strength and he can still throw it.

952
00:46:54,680 --> 00:46:57,920
Speaker 2: I think, Yeah, when you have Richardson and Taylor on

953
00:46:57,960 --> 00:47:01,319
Speaker 2: the field at the same time. I'm not saying it's

954
00:47:01,440 --> 00:47:04,360
Speaker 2: Lamar and Derrick Henry, but you have to worry about

955
00:47:04,360 --> 00:47:05,280
Speaker 2: two things.

956
00:47:05,680 --> 00:47:06,840
Speaker 1: It's similar in that.

957
00:47:06,760 --> 00:47:09,360
Speaker 2: Way in terms of the run game, and with Flacco

958
00:47:09,440 --> 00:47:13,000
Speaker 2: it is clearly not because Joe is not fleet of foot.

959
00:47:13,440 --> 00:47:16,839
Speaker 2: I think that if the Bills can get up on

960
00:47:16,880 --> 00:47:21,399
Speaker 2: the Colts, the pass rush will be productive. There haven't

961
00:47:21,400 --> 00:47:24,239
Speaker 2: been too many times where the Bills have gotten far

962
00:47:24,320 --> 00:47:27,360
Speaker 2: out in front on the scoreboard.

963
00:47:27,360 --> 00:47:29,359
Speaker 1: Even in the Seahawks game.

964
00:47:30,080 --> 00:47:32,400
Speaker 2: It was a one score game for a while there,

965
00:47:32,840 --> 00:47:34,160
Speaker 2: and so the pass rush really.

966
00:47:34,040 --> 00:47:35,400
Speaker 1: Didn't get a chance to get home.

967
00:47:36,640 --> 00:47:39,000
Speaker 2: If you can keep the Colts run game under wraps,

968
00:47:39,920 --> 00:47:44,760
Speaker 2: not give up anything cheap deep, then if the offense

969
00:47:44,800 --> 00:47:46,719
Speaker 2: does its thing, you're ahead on the scoreboard and now

970
00:47:46,760 --> 00:47:50,880
Speaker 2: your pass rush can go against Joe Flacco, who you

971
00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:53,360
Speaker 2: know where he's going to be on every single play,

972
00:47:53,360 --> 00:47:55,680
Speaker 2: You'll be standing there in the pocket.

973
00:47:55,960 --> 00:47:58,680
Speaker 3: I want to see the pass rush come alive. We've

974
00:47:58,719 --> 00:48:01,160
Speaker 3: seen this team trail in the first half of games.

975
00:48:01,200 --> 00:48:03,879
Speaker 3: We've seen this team in the Bills, I should say,

976
00:48:04,040 --> 00:48:07,720
Speaker 3: keep it close with opponents the beginning of the season.

977
00:48:07,760 --> 00:48:09,719
Speaker 3: We saw them get out to hot starts and we

978
00:48:09,800 --> 00:48:12,160
Speaker 3: saw this high flying offense. Not saying that we haven't

979
00:48:12,200 --> 00:48:14,719
Speaker 3: seen it throughout the season because we definitely have, but

980
00:48:14,760 --> 00:48:17,360
Speaker 3: we've seen it more in the second half and getting

981
00:48:17,400 --> 00:48:21,560
Speaker 3: out to a strong first half lead I think would allow,

982
00:48:21,680 --> 00:48:23,560
Speaker 3: like you said, that pass rush to come alive. It's

983
00:48:23,560 --> 00:48:27,319
Speaker 3: a lot easier to start getting the pass rush going

984
00:48:27,320 --> 00:48:30,120
Speaker 3: when you're playing with the lead. And Sean McDermott said

985
00:48:30,160 --> 00:48:35,640
Speaker 3: today to us, it's not always about what's happening on

986
00:48:36,200 --> 00:48:38,560
Speaker 3: third down. A lot of the times the pass rush

987
00:48:38,600 --> 00:48:41,520
Speaker 3: doesn't get going because of what happened on first and

988
00:48:41,640 --> 00:48:44,480
Speaker 3: second down, and then we can't get into third and

989
00:48:44,520 --> 00:48:47,440
Speaker 3: long scenarios where we can really pin our ears back

990
00:48:47,480 --> 00:48:48,600
Speaker 3: and go right.

991
00:48:48,920 --> 00:48:52,240
Speaker 2: And so in his estimation, it's not a pass rush

992
00:48:52,360 --> 00:48:55,959
Speaker 2: production issue, it's an opportunity issue, and there haven't been

993
00:48:56,400 --> 00:48:59,839
Speaker 2: enough opportunities and people get all bent out of shape

994
00:48:59,840 --> 00:49:01,960
Speaker 2: of it. The slow starts on offense. That has a

995
00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:05,000
Speaker 2: trickle down effect on your defense because if you're not

996
00:49:05,040 --> 00:49:07,320
Speaker 2: putting points on the board early and you fall behind,

997
00:49:07,880 --> 00:49:10,920
Speaker 2: now the defense is playing two dimensional defense because the

998
00:49:10,960 --> 00:49:12,640
Speaker 2: run in the pass game are still alive for your

999
00:49:12,640 --> 00:49:16,120
Speaker 2: opponent because you haven't put some distance between.

1000
00:49:15,840 --> 00:49:19,000
Speaker 1: You and them on the scoreboard. We have to take

1001
00:49:19,040 --> 00:49:19,719
Speaker 1: a break here.

1002
00:49:20,200 --> 00:49:22,279
Speaker 2: When we come back, we're going to be joined by

1003
00:49:22,280 --> 00:49:25,040
Speaker 2: play by play man from the Colts Radio Network, Matt Taylor,

1004
00:49:25,080 --> 00:49:27,160
Speaker 2: going to join us. We'll get some of the four

1005
00:49:27,160 --> 00:49:30,440
Speaker 2: to one one on their situation, not only at quarterback,

1006
00:49:30,680 --> 00:49:33,240
Speaker 2: but on their offensive line, and of course, as Maddy mentioned,

1007
00:49:33,480 --> 00:49:34,240
Speaker 2: their defense.

1008
00:49:34,400 --> 00:49:35,760
Speaker 1: We'll get to all of that with Matt Taylor.

1009
00:49:35,760 --> 00:49:35,960
Speaker 4: Next.

1010
00:49:35,960 --> 00:49:38,040
Speaker 2: Here on One Bill's Live presented by Colida Health, It's

1011
00:49:38,040 --> 00:50:17,840
Speaker 2: Buffalo Bills Radio.

1012
00:50:21,719 --> 00:50:26,399
Speaker 1: This the One Bills Live presented by Called lighta Health

1013

Speaker 2: a part of your afternoon. Pleased to be joined now

1016
00:50:35,360 --> 00:50:37,760
Speaker 2: by play by play man for the Colts Radio Network,

1017
00:50:37,760 --> 00:50:40,120
Speaker 2: Matt Taylor joining us on the line here.

1018
00:50:40,120 --> 00:50:42,440
Speaker 1: Matt, thanks for making some time for us. Appreciate it.

1019
00:50:42,880 --> 00:50:45,200
Speaker 2: Uh want to I want to jump right in here

1020
00:50:45,280 --> 00:50:48,600
Speaker 2: because you guys got some O line issues that you're

1021
00:50:48,600 --> 00:50:50,040
Speaker 2: dealing with to a certain extent.

1022
00:50:50,200 --> 00:50:50,319
Speaker 4: Uh.

1023
00:50:50,960 --> 00:50:53,440
Speaker 2: I guess the good news is it looks like Bernard

1024
00:50:53,520 --> 00:50:56,879
Speaker 2: Raymond is on the road back to the lineup from

1025
00:50:56,880 --> 00:50:58,040
Speaker 2: concussion protocol.

1026
00:50:58,120 --> 00:51:00,400
Speaker 1: But what happened with Ryan Kelly? You're center?

1027
00:51:02,320 --> 00:51:05,840
Speaker 15: Yeah, Ryman is he's not yet cleared the concussion of protocol.

1028
00:51:05,880 --> 00:51:09,440
Speaker 15: He's been cleared to practice, so we'll see if he

1029
00:51:09,480 --> 00:51:12,520
Speaker 15: can continue to clear those steps throughout the remainder of

1030
00:51:12,560 --> 00:51:14,960
Speaker 15: the week. But he's on the right track, although he

1031
00:51:15,000 --> 00:51:18,719
Speaker 15: does have some more hurdles to jump over. As far

1032
00:51:18,760 --> 00:51:21,640
Speaker 15: as Ryan Kelly is concerned, it's a knee injury for

1033
00:51:21,760 --> 00:51:24,480
Speaker 15: him and he's going to be sidelined obviously the next

1034
00:51:24,520 --> 00:51:27,080
Speaker 15: four games going on injured reserve. I think the Colts

1035
00:51:27,120 --> 00:51:30,719
Speaker 15: are hopeful that it's just the four game stint on

1036
00:51:30,840 --> 00:51:33,560
Speaker 15: IR and it's not, you know, more permanent than that.

1037
00:51:33,719 --> 00:51:37,000
Speaker 15: And the context with Ryan Kelly is that he's, you know,

1038
00:51:37,040 --> 00:51:39,480
Speaker 15: been with the Colts since twenty sixteen. He's the longest

1039
00:51:39,520 --> 00:51:42,480
Speaker 15: tenured player, and he's going into a contract year. I

1040
00:51:42,520 --> 00:51:44,480
Speaker 15: should say this is a contract to year for him,

1041
00:51:44,520 --> 00:51:47,319
Speaker 15: so he will be a free agent in the offseason.

1042
00:51:47,360 --> 00:51:49,960
Speaker 15: But one of the leaders on the team, I think,

1043
00:51:50,000 --> 00:51:53,040
Speaker 15: a guy that's really hard to replace. But that's gonna

1044
00:51:53,040 --> 00:51:54,719
Speaker 15: be the task on hand coming up on Sunday in

1045
00:51:54,719 --> 00:51:55,920
Speaker 15: a really big game for the Colts.

1046
00:51:56,040 --> 00:51:58,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, and they're going to replace him with a rookie, right,

1047
00:51:58,360 --> 00:51:59,719
Speaker 2: what can you tell us about.

1048
00:52:01,640 --> 00:52:05,360
Speaker 15: Yeah, Tanner Bordolini drafted on Day three of the draft

1049
00:52:05,400 --> 00:52:08,239
Speaker 15: for the Cole set of Wisconsin. He's already had to

1050
00:52:08,320 --> 00:52:12,360
Speaker 15: step in already this year for Ryan Kelly in fact

1051
00:52:12,400 --> 00:52:15,080
Speaker 15: at center. So he started two games I think it

1052
00:52:15,120 --> 00:52:17,920
Speaker 15: was Week four, week five, and one of those games

1053
00:52:18,000 --> 00:52:19,000
Speaker 15: was against Pittsburgh.

1054
00:52:19,040 --> 00:52:22,080
Speaker 13: And you talk about a really toll order right out

1055
00:52:22,080 --> 00:52:22,439
Speaker 13: of the gate.

1056
00:52:22,520 --> 00:52:25,279
Speaker 15: You know, your first NFL experience as a starter is

1057
00:52:25,320 --> 00:52:27,719
Speaker 15: Cameron Hayward on the other side of you. But he

1058
00:52:27,719 --> 00:52:30,799
Speaker 15: played really well and held his own and so he's

1059
00:52:30,840 --> 00:52:32,880
Speaker 15: going to be thrust back into that position coming up

1060
00:52:32,880 --> 00:52:33,480
Speaker 15: this weekend.

1061
00:52:33,520 --> 00:52:34,560
Speaker 13: At Wisconsin.

1062
00:52:35,280 --> 00:52:38,240
Speaker 15: He started twenty eight games for the Badgers, including fourteen

1063
00:52:38,280 --> 00:52:41,640
Speaker 15: at center, so he knows the position. But anytime you're

1064
00:52:41,680 --> 00:52:43,640
Speaker 15: playing a game like this against a really good team

1065
00:52:43,680 --> 00:52:47,560
Speaker 15: like the Buffalo Bills, really good defense, It's definitely gonna

1066
00:52:47,560 --> 00:52:48,680
Speaker 15: be a new experience for him.

1067
00:52:49,000 --> 00:52:51,920
Speaker 3: Shane Sdiken announced on Monday that Joe Flacco will be

1068
00:52:51,960 --> 00:52:55,759
Speaker 3: the starter for Sunday's game against Buffalo. What do the

1069
00:52:55,800 --> 00:52:59,040
Speaker 3: Colts get in an offense run by Joe Flacco.

1070
00:53:01,080 --> 00:53:04,319
Speaker 15: Well, I think overall, you get more and I hate

1071
00:53:04,320 --> 00:53:06,560
Speaker 15: to say this, but you get more stability because it

1072
00:53:06,640 --> 00:53:07,600
Speaker 15: just hasn't been there.

1073
00:53:07,440 --> 00:53:09,680
Speaker 13: So far with Anthony Richardson at quarterback.

1074
00:53:09,760 --> 00:53:12,680
Speaker 15: It's with him at the helm, it's been a lot

1075
00:53:12,680 --> 00:53:14,800
Speaker 15: of big plays, right, It's kind of been a boom

1076
00:53:14,880 --> 00:53:18,600
Speaker 15: or bust offense. But you know, the third down efficiency

1077
00:53:18,640 --> 00:53:21,960
Speaker 15: hasn't been there. The overall completion percentage with Anthony Richardson

1078
00:53:22,280 --> 00:53:25,240
Speaker 15: hasn't been there this year. So you know, historically, obviously

1079
00:53:25,239 --> 00:53:29,560
Speaker 15: with Joe Flacco, you get pinpoint accuracy, The completion percentage is.

1080
00:53:29,520 --> 00:53:30,960
Speaker 13: Really good, you stay on the field.

1081
00:53:31,320 --> 00:53:34,200
Speaker 15: You know, maybe some longer drives, but I think the

1082
00:53:34,239 --> 00:53:37,560
Speaker 15: biggest thing you lose is just the dynamic ability to

1083
00:53:37,680 --> 00:53:40,640
Speaker 15: run the football with Anthony Richardson and Jonathan Taylor in

1084
00:53:40,680 --> 00:53:44,719
Speaker 15: the same backfield. But overall that the passing game on

1085
00:53:44,840 --> 00:53:47,279
Speaker 15: the season for the Colts just has to be better.

1086
00:53:47,320 --> 00:53:51,320
Speaker 15: I mean, regardless of who the quarterbacks have been the Colts,

1087
00:53:51,440 --> 00:53:54,840
Speaker 15: they've only thrown over two hundred yards three times on

1088
00:53:54,920 --> 00:53:59,759
Speaker 15: the season. You know, they're not getting the consistency in

1089
00:53:59,800 --> 00:54:03,200
Speaker 15: the plays. I think wide receivers for the Colts have

1090
00:54:03,239 --> 00:54:06,520
Speaker 15: the lowest catch percentage in the NFL. So we're seeing

1091
00:54:06,560 --> 00:54:08,640
Speaker 15: the highlights right there, obviously with the big plays to

1092
00:54:08,680 --> 00:54:11,560
Speaker 15: Alec Pierce, but outside of those.

1093
00:54:11,360 --> 00:54:14,160
Speaker 13: You know, there just hasn't been a whole lot of intermediate.

1094
00:54:13,560 --> 00:54:17,120
Speaker 15: Completions that have led to success for the Colts. That's

1095
00:54:17,160 --> 00:54:18,880
Speaker 15: been a big reason why they are last in the

1096
00:54:18,960 --> 00:54:20,600
Speaker 15: NFL by a wide margin.

1097
00:54:20,640 --> 00:54:21,640
Speaker 13: And time and possession.

1098
00:54:21,760 --> 00:54:24,360
Speaker 15: So a defense isn't getting off the field, the offense

1099
00:54:24,600 --> 00:54:28,160
Speaker 15: isn't staying on the field, and that's where hopefully Joe Flacco,

1100
00:54:28,200 --> 00:54:32,440
Speaker 15: with his you know, veteran leadership and overall experience, can

1101
00:54:32,440 --> 00:54:35,040
Speaker 15: hopefully steady out and smooth out this offense.

1102
00:54:35,400 --> 00:54:38,480
Speaker 2: One other question about the passing game, Matt, because I

1103
00:54:38,520 --> 00:54:41,040
Speaker 2: think we've all become a custom I know, Josh Downs

1104
00:54:41,080 --> 00:54:44,439
Speaker 2: is kind of the guy that's really been the most

1105
00:54:44,480 --> 00:54:48,640
Speaker 2: consistent weapon in their passing game. We're used to seeing

1106
00:54:48,640 --> 00:54:51,960
Speaker 2: Pittman put up numbers, and it appears as though he's

1107
00:54:52,320 --> 00:54:55,719
Speaker 2: dealing with some bumps and bruises and isn't quite himself.

1108
00:54:56,520 --> 00:55:00,279
Speaker 2: A couple that for me, if you could with the

1109
00:55:00,320 --> 00:55:03,400
Speaker 2: mystery of the absence of the tight ends in the

1110
00:55:03,440 --> 00:55:06,280
Speaker 2: passing game. You've got some huge targets there with guys

1111
00:55:06,280 --> 00:55:09,319
Speaker 2: that can run. What is coach Steichen said about their

1112
00:55:09,440 --> 00:55:12,080
Speaker 2: absence in the passing game week to week? And then

1113
00:55:12,200 --> 00:55:14,040
Speaker 2: what Pittman seems to be fighting through.

1114
00:55:15,680 --> 00:55:18,080
Speaker 15: Yeah, no question about I mean Michael Pittman Junior. A

1115
00:55:18,120 --> 00:55:20,440
Speaker 15: couple of weeks back, there were national reports. I mean

1116
00:55:20,440 --> 00:55:23,279
Speaker 15: you had the Adam Schefters of the world and Ian

1117
00:55:23,360 --> 00:55:26,919
Speaker 15: Rapaports from NFL Network reporting that, hey, Michael Pittman Junior

1118
00:55:27,000 --> 00:55:29,160
Speaker 15: is going to go on ir and you know his

1119
00:55:29,239 --> 00:55:31,840
Speaker 15: season might be in question. And then you know that

1120
00:55:31,960 --> 00:55:34,319
Speaker 15: was either a Wednesday or Thursday. And then here comes

1121
00:55:34,360 --> 00:55:37,719
Speaker 15: Friday and there's Pittman out at practice going through you know,

1122
00:55:37,800 --> 00:55:40,920
Speaker 15: full motion. That's just kind of who Michael Pittman Junior

1123
00:55:41,000 --> 00:55:42,840
Speaker 15: is with this back injury. He's going to answer the

1124
00:55:42,880 --> 00:55:46,759
Speaker 15: bell for the team and you know there's he's going

1125
00:55:46,840 --> 00:55:49,040
Speaker 15: to have to deal with it, There's no question about it.

1126
00:55:49,080 --> 00:55:50,640
Speaker 15: I think it's going to be a nagging thing. It's

1127
00:55:50,640 --> 00:55:52,680
Speaker 15: going to be with them for the remainder of the season.

1128
00:55:53,239 --> 00:55:55,799
Speaker 15: But as long as he can maintain it, he's going

1129
00:55:55,840 --> 00:55:59,400
Speaker 15: to be available for the team. But it's clearly evident

1130
00:55:59,440 --> 00:56:01,840
Speaker 15: that he's just not the same player right in terms

1131
00:56:01,840 --> 00:56:05,080
Speaker 15: of separation. You know, the toughness is still there, but

1132
00:56:05,920 --> 00:56:09,440
Speaker 15: you know, he's got the lowest production through nine games

1133
00:56:09,480 --> 00:56:12,560
Speaker 15: since since his rookie season in twenty twenty. But he's

1134
00:56:12,600 --> 00:56:14,839
Speaker 15: answering the bell and that's all you can ask. As

1135
00:56:14,880 --> 00:56:17,080
Speaker 15: far as the tight ends, I think you're right, that's

1136
00:56:17,080 --> 00:56:19,319
Speaker 15: a big mystery around here because the Colts have a

1137
00:56:19,320 --> 00:56:20,000
Speaker 15: lot of options.

1138
00:56:20,080 --> 00:56:22,120
Speaker 13: They've got Moley Cox.

1139
00:56:21,880 --> 00:56:26,600
Speaker 15: And you know, Drew Ogletree, and they've got Kylon grantson

1140
00:56:26,640 --> 00:56:29,439
Speaker 15: and you know they they don't have and we were

1141
00:56:29,520 --> 00:56:31,320
Speaker 15: I think it was pretty clear going back to training

1142
00:56:31,360 --> 00:56:34,160
Speaker 15: camp they weren't, you know, the George Kittles or the

1143
00:56:34,200 --> 00:56:37,719
Speaker 15: Travis Kelts of the world. But I think trying to

1144
00:56:37,719 --> 00:56:40,279
Speaker 15: get these tight ends more involved in the offense has

1145
00:56:40,320 --> 00:56:44,120
Speaker 15: been a season long struggle for the team. So I

1146
00:56:44,120 --> 00:56:47,560
Speaker 15: think they're capable of breaking out each and every week.

1147
00:56:47,600 --> 00:56:50,799
Speaker 15: It just hasn't happened to this point. But in saying that,

1148
00:56:50,840 --> 00:56:53,160
Speaker 15: they're always really big inside the running game too. They're

1149
00:56:53,200 --> 00:56:56,080
Speaker 15: all really good physical blocking tight ends in the running game,

1150
00:56:56,440 --> 00:56:59,439
Speaker 15: kind of the extension of the offensive line. But there's

1151
00:56:59,440 --> 00:57:02,200
Speaker 15: no question again, it's everybody across the board. It's the

1152
00:57:02,200 --> 00:57:05,200
Speaker 15: tight ends need to be more involved. Guys like ad

1153
00:57:05,280 --> 00:57:07,960
Speaker 15: Ni Mitchell, who's a rookie second round pick. They'd like

1154
00:57:08,000 --> 00:57:10,520
Speaker 15: to get him more involved, just everything when the passing

1155
00:57:10,520 --> 00:57:12,600
Speaker 15: game needs to be you know, looked at going into

1156
00:57:12,640 --> 00:57:15,480
Speaker 15: the last half excuse me, less nine games of the season.

1157
00:57:15,719 --> 00:57:19,280
Speaker 3: Flipping it to the defense for the Colts, they're allowing

1158
00:57:19,440 --> 00:57:22,160
Speaker 3: just over twenty one points per game, not a huge number.

1159
00:57:22,200 --> 00:57:25,240
Speaker 3: That's a good place to be at top fifteen. They're

1160
00:57:25,280 --> 00:57:27,800
Speaker 3: taking the ball away at a high rate, but they're

1161
00:57:27,840 --> 00:57:30,439
Speaker 3: allowing a lot of yards on the ground in the air.

1162
00:57:30,720 --> 00:57:33,800
Speaker 3: Where's the disconnect been within this defense?

1163
00:57:35,440 --> 00:57:37,919
Speaker 15: Yeah, I think that's probably been the most disappointing thing

1164
00:57:38,080 --> 00:57:41,360
Speaker 15: about the defense is their inability to consistently slow down

1165
00:57:41,400 --> 00:57:43,400
Speaker 15: the rush. You know, it really kind of started and

1166
00:57:43,440 --> 00:57:46,640
Speaker 15: ballooned big time at the beginning of the season against

1167
00:57:46,720 --> 00:57:49,520
Speaker 15: the Texans and the Packers, and each of those two games,

1168
00:57:49,800 --> 00:57:52,240
Speaker 15: the Colts allowed well over two hundred yards right out

1169
00:57:52,240 --> 00:57:55,160
Speaker 15: of the gate, and those numbers have been quieted down

1170
00:57:55,200 --> 00:57:57,400
Speaker 15: a little bit, but you know, when you start off

1171
00:57:57,440 --> 00:57:59,680
Speaker 15: that poorly, your season averages are just going to be

1172
00:57:59,680 --> 00:58:02,120
Speaker 15: really tough to bring down. Now they've had their moments,

1173
00:58:02,480 --> 00:58:04,440
Speaker 15: you know, I thought they slowed down Joe Mixon to

1174
00:58:04,520 --> 00:58:06,840
Speaker 15: a reasonable degree a couple of weeks ago in Houston,

1175
00:58:07,160 --> 00:58:10,439
Speaker 15: but they still lost that game. You know, Minnesota still

1176
00:58:10,520 --> 00:58:12,600
Speaker 15: ran for over one hundred and thirty yards. Not a

1177
00:58:12,600 --> 00:58:15,880
Speaker 15: lot of big plays, but just the the residual was

1178
00:58:16,440 --> 00:58:19,000
Speaker 15: what hurt the Colts in that game on Sunday Night Football.

1179
00:58:19,080 --> 00:58:23,360
Speaker 15: So that's been probably again the biggest concern about this

1180
00:58:23,440 --> 00:58:25,880
Speaker 15: team is that that should be the hallmark. The front

1181
00:58:25,880 --> 00:58:29,400
Speaker 15: seven is really really good with stud linebackers like Zaire

1182
00:58:29,480 --> 00:58:31,760
Speaker 15: Franklin and EJ. Speed, and that's I think they have

1183
00:58:32,440 --> 00:58:35,360
Speaker 15: the best pair of defensive tackles.

1184
00:58:35,000 --> 00:58:37,320
Speaker 13: In the league with Grover Stewart and DeForrest Buckner.

1185
00:58:38,120 --> 00:58:40,680
Speaker 15: But still they're they're giving up too big of a

1186
00:58:40,760 --> 00:58:44,600
Speaker 15: number to be successful. So the point total the last

1187
00:58:44,640 --> 00:58:47,760
Speaker 15: couple of games is pretty good. In fact, I think

1188
00:58:47,800 --> 00:58:50,080
Speaker 15: in the last four games, they have the sixth best

1189
00:58:50,120 --> 00:58:54,080
Speaker 15: point total in the NFL in that span, but they

1190
00:58:54,120 --> 00:58:56,680
Speaker 15: don't have the wins the show for it, and they

1191
00:58:56,680 --> 00:58:59,280
Speaker 15: are giving up a lot of yards. Like you said,

1192
00:58:59,280 --> 00:59:01,560
Speaker 15: they're taking the ball all away to a reasonable degree.

1193
00:59:01,640 --> 00:59:03,640
Speaker 15: I think they are number one in the NFL and

1194
00:59:03,840 --> 00:59:06,600
Speaker 15: force fumbles, so they're getting their hands on the ball

1195
00:59:06,640 --> 00:59:09,000
Speaker 15: and that's kind of been the saving grace of the defense.

1196
00:59:09,480 --> 00:59:12,440
Speaker 15: But if they want to take this next step defensively

1197
00:59:12,920 --> 00:59:15,440
Speaker 15: and get themselves squarely in the mix to make a

1198
00:59:15,480 --> 00:59:19,120
Speaker 15: playoff push defensively, they got to get better starting up front,

1199
00:59:19,120 --> 00:59:21,120
Speaker 15: that front seven to slow down the rush.

1200
00:59:21,160 --> 00:59:24,200
Speaker 2: At the same time, Matt, you know, it's a relatively

1201
00:59:24,600 --> 00:59:27,480
Speaker 2: young secondary, maybe with the exception of Kenny Moore who's

1202
00:59:27,480 --> 00:59:31,440
Speaker 2: been there for a while in the nickel spot. Do

1203
00:59:31,520 --> 00:59:35,680
Speaker 2: you sense that there's been any kind of disconnect or

1204
00:59:35,800 --> 00:59:38,120
Speaker 2: I mean every season you have plays where you're gonna

1205
00:59:38,120 --> 00:59:40,400
Speaker 2: have some miscommunication and a big play gets you know,

1206
00:59:41,040 --> 00:59:44,680
Speaker 2: pulled off on you. But have they kind of grown together?

1207
00:59:44,800 --> 00:59:47,600
Speaker 2: Has it been encouraging? Have you've seen progress from the

1208
00:59:47,680 --> 00:59:50,440
Speaker 2: relatively young group on the back end outside of more.

1209
00:59:51,760 --> 00:59:54,760
Speaker 15: Yeah, I have, but again you're looking for more consistency,

1210
00:59:54,800 --> 00:59:56,760
Speaker 15: and you know, to your point, I mean, Jalen Jones

1211
00:59:56,800 --> 00:59:58,920
Speaker 15: is a guy that you know, was drafted in the

1212
00:59:58,920 --> 01:00:03,080
Speaker 15: seventh round last year and was I think he probably

1213
01:00:03,080 --> 01:00:06,480
Speaker 15: played way more than he anticipated or the Colts anticipated,

1214
01:00:06,520 --> 01:00:08,800
Speaker 15: as a you know, Day three draft pick as a rookie,

1215
01:00:09,160 --> 01:00:11,560
Speaker 15: ended up starting ten games last year, and it really

1216
01:00:11,600 --> 01:00:13,880
Speaker 15: took some nice steps towards the end of the of

1217
01:00:13,920 --> 01:00:16,439
Speaker 15: the season in twenty twenty three, and then this year

1218
01:00:16,880 --> 01:00:18,800
Speaker 15: it's picked up right where he left off. Now, he's

1219
01:00:18,800 --> 01:00:22,200
Speaker 15: had some moments where he's had trouble covering the elite guys,

1220
01:00:22,440 --> 01:00:25,440
Speaker 15: you know, as was the case last Sunday against Justin Jefferson,

1221
01:00:26,000 --> 01:00:28,200
Speaker 15: But for the most part of the season, he's turned

1222
01:00:28,200 --> 01:00:30,720
Speaker 15: in a nice sophomore campaign. I think he's topped five

1223
01:00:30,760 --> 01:00:33,760
Speaker 15: and passes defense. I think his coverage numbers are pretty

1224
01:00:33,760 --> 01:00:37,520
Speaker 15: good all things considered. And then you've got Samuel Wollmack,

1225
01:00:37,520 --> 01:00:39,920
Speaker 15: who wasn't even here during training camp. You know, he

1226
01:00:40,000 --> 01:00:41,480
Speaker 15: was a guy they picked up after the end of

1227
01:00:41,520 --> 01:00:44,680
Speaker 15: the preseason really out of necessity because they had a

1228
01:00:44,680 --> 01:00:47,760
Speaker 15: lot of injuries to that position, and plus they waived

1229
01:00:47,880 --> 01:00:50,400
Speaker 15: you know, a guy like Dallas Flowers who just didn't

1230
01:00:50,680 --> 01:00:53,920
Speaker 15: pan out in the scheme for whatever reason. So yeah,

1231
01:00:54,000 --> 01:00:55,840
Speaker 15: they've they've had a kind of piece that together with

1232
01:00:55,920 --> 01:00:59,760
Speaker 15: Kenny Moore being you know, the most consistent veteran piece

1233
01:00:59,840 --> 01:01:02,440
Speaker 15: with in that secondary. I think he's probably one of

1234
01:01:02,480 --> 01:01:04,520
Speaker 15: the better nickel corners in the league and has been

1235
01:01:04,560 --> 01:01:07,760
Speaker 15: for quite some time, but a lot of youth around him,

1236
01:01:07,840 --> 01:01:11,480
Speaker 15: and you know, there's been some growing pains because of that.

1237
01:01:11,560 --> 01:01:13,160
Speaker 13: The last couple of games, i e.

1238
01:01:13,240 --> 01:01:16,040
Speaker 15: The Justin Jefferson game where I think he had five

1239
01:01:16,160 --> 01:01:18,600
Speaker 15: catches over twenty yards and really kind of you know,

1240
01:01:18,640 --> 01:01:20,560
Speaker 15: put the game on ice there in the second half.

1241
01:01:21,000 --> 01:01:23,000
Speaker 3: One thing that the Bills have wanted to do this

1242
01:01:23,040 --> 01:01:25,520
Speaker 3: season at a consistent rate is get off to a

1243
01:01:25,520 --> 01:01:28,760
Speaker 3: fast start. This team has gone into the second half

1244
01:01:29,320 --> 01:01:32,520
Speaker 3: trailing by a few points in multiple games. They've been

1245
01:01:32,560 --> 01:01:34,960
Speaker 3: able to come back and win those games. So there's

1246
01:01:35,000 --> 01:01:37,960
Speaker 3: a positive there, but the negative is, hey, let's get

1247
01:01:37,960 --> 01:01:40,640
Speaker 3: off to a faster start. For the Colts, it's been

1248
01:01:40,840 --> 01:01:44,720
Speaker 3: every game has been decided by one possession. How frustrating

1249
01:01:45,000 --> 01:01:47,760
Speaker 3: has that been to be in those games but not

1250
01:01:47,840 --> 01:01:48,800
Speaker 3: get the victories.

1251
01:01:51,160 --> 01:01:52,400
Speaker 13: It's been nerve wracking.

1252
01:01:52,520 --> 01:01:54,920
Speaker 15: It's been nerve racking for everybody, including the play by

1253
01:01:54,920 --> 01:02:00,440
Speaker 15: play guy. Right, all these games are you know, your

1254
01:02:00,560 --> 01:02:03,040
Speaker 15: your heart is pumping, and you know you're right there

1255
01:02:03,040 --> 01:02:05,080
Speaker 15: with the entire fan base, so listen, and I think

1256
01:02:05,080 --> 01:02:07,480
Speaker 15: everybody would love to win a game, you know, by

1257
01:02:07,480 --> 01:02:09,640
Speaker 15: twenty points, you know, like the Bills have done. I

1258
01:02:09,640 --> 01:02:11,520
Speaker 15: think they've won like three or four games by at

1259
01:02:11,600 --> 01:02:15,080
Speaker 15: least twenty So the Colts are still trying to figure

1260
01:02:15,080 --> 01:02:18,280
Speaker 15: that out. Now they've found ways to win those games,

1261
01:02:18,280 --> 01:02:21,080
Speaker 15: and they've also found ways to lose those games. And

1262
01:02:21,560 --> 01:02:24,280
Speaker 15: I think it just boils down to crunch time. Getting

1263
01:02:24,280 --> 01:02:28,640
Speaker 15: stops on defense and offensively in the fourth quarter, is

1264
01:02:28,680 --> 01:02:31,000
Speaker 15: finding a way to get that extra first down and

1265
01:02:31,320 --> 01:02:33,720
Speaker 15: you know, maybe conclude a four minute drive and keep

1266
01:02:33,760 --> 01:02:37,880
Speaker 15: another team's offense off the field. So yeah, this this

1267
01:02:37,960 --> 01:02:40,200
Speaker 15: team is gonna be in every game. You know, the

1268
01:02:40,520 --> 01:02:44,160
Speaker 15: roster is just too darn good, quite frankly, to have

1269
01:02:44,240 --> 01:02:47,080
Speaker 15: this type of a record. I think it speaks to

1270
01:02:47,160 --> 01:02:50,320
Speaker 15: just the inconsistencies are getting at the quarterback position.

1271
01:02:50,400 --> 01:02:50,840
Speaker 13: I mean.

1272
01:02:52,240 --> 01:02:54,760
Speaker 15: Within the division, right the Cults have They're already done

1273
01:02:54,800 --> 01:02:57,200
Speaker 15: playing the Texans probably their chief rival as of right

1274
01:02:57,240 --> 01:03:00,560
Speaker 15: now inside the division. To win a championship inside the

1275
01:03:00,560 --> 01:03:03,560
Speaker 15: AFC South for the first time since twenty fourteen. But

1276
01:03:03,880 --> 01:03:06,480
Speaker 15: in those two games, right, the Colts lost two games

1277
01:03:06,480 --> 01:03:10,480
Speaker 15: to the Texans by a combined five points. Right, So

1278
01:03:10,520 --> 01:03:13,520
Speaker 15: if they get more consistent quarterback play and both of

1279
01:03:13,600 --> 01:03:16,920
Speaker 15: those games, who knows, maybe they split, maybe they sweep,

1280
01:03:17,080 --> 01:03:20,080
Speaker 15: then they're you know, you know, two games better right

1281
01:03:20,120 --> 01:03:22,600
Speaker 15: now record wise, maybe they're sitting in the catbird seat

1282
01:03:22,600 --> 01:03:25,840
Speaker 15: inside the AFC South. But yeah, the Colts, they're going

1283
01:03:25,920 --> 01:03:28,280
Speaker 15: to be in every game. They're too good to get

1284
01:03:28,280 --> 01:03:31,160
Speaker 15: blown out. And I fully expect this game to come

1285
01:03:31,160 --> 01:03:33,520
Speaker 15: down to the wire on Sunday against the Bills, even

1286
01:03:33,560 --> 01:03:36,360
Speaker 15: though they're, you know, obviously having a great season and

1287
01:03:36,400 --> 01:03:39,680
Speaker 15: their offense is really explosive. The Colts just find ways

1288
01:03:39,680 --> 01:03:42,800
Speaker 15: to stay in games, and their trouble is just finding

1289
01:03:42,840 --> 01:03:45,600
Speaker 15: ways to consistently find ways to win in the fourth

1290
01:03:45,720 --> 01:03:48,240
Speaker 15: quarter to sneak more of these close games out.

1291
01:03:49,120 --> 01:03:52,240
Speaker 2: So, Matt, I mean, farbe from me to know better

1292
01:03:52,320 --> 01:03:56,360
Speaker 2: than Shane Stichen. But with the going back and forth

1293
01:03:56,400 --> 01:03:58,680
Speaker 2: and the quarterback position in a little bit of a

1294
01:03:58,720 --> 01:04:02,280
Speaker 2: state of flux, Jonathan Taylor, at least from the outside

1295
01:04:02,320 --> 01:04:06,000
Speaker 2: looking in, would look like the workhorse guy to turn

1296
01:04:06,040 --> 01:04:08,400
Speaker 2: to here and then have Flacco just serve as a

1297
01:04:08,400 --> 01:04:12,960
Speaker 2: complimentary asset to him with respect to the offensive output.

1298
01:04:13,800 --> 01:04:16,400
Speaker 2: There have been some games where Jonathan's been very productive

1299
01:04:16,400 --> 01:04:18,800
Speaker 2: and then JT has a fifty yard rushing game.

1300
01:04:19,680 --> 01:04:21,680
Speaker 1: What can be explained there?

1301
01:04:21,840 --> 01:04:24,400
Speaker 2: Because this is a guy that you know, I think

1302
01:04:24,400 --> 01:04:26,560
Speaker 2: Bills fans the last time they remember he's running for

1303
01:04:26,560 --> 01:04:29,800
Speaker 2: one to eighty five and four touchdowns, so they're confused

1304
01:04:29,840 --> 01:04:31,520
Speaker 2: by his up and down production.

1305
01:04:33,160 --> 01:04:34,840
Speaker 15: Well, I think that's the biggest thing, and it kind

1306
01:04:34,840 --> 01:04:37,080
Speaker 15: of goes back to what we were discussing earlier, is

1307
01:04:37,080 --> 01:04:39,640
Speaker 15: that the running game with Joe Flacco a quarterback is

1308
01:04:39,720 --> 01:04:43,680
Speaker 15: way different as compared to when Anthony Richardson is out there,

1309
01:04:43,720 --> 01:04:47,200
Speaker 15: because it's almost like you have a twelfth man on

1310
01:04:47,360 --> 01:04:50,200
Speaker 15: offense when Richardson can run the ball. Obviously, they're not

1311
01:04:50,240 --> 01:04:54,720
Speaker 15: going to design any quarterback runs for Joe Flacco, but

1312
01:04:55,560 --> 01:04:57,440
Speaker 15: you know, you hear all the time that, hey, the

1313
01:04:57,520 --> 01:04:59,440
Speaker 15: run has to set up the pass. I think in

1314
01:04:59,440 --> 01:05:02,680
Speaker 15: the case of the Colts, especially now with Flacco at quarterback,

1315
01:05:03,120 --> 01:05:05,439
Speaker 15: the pass has to set up the run. And that's

1316
01:05:05,480 --> 01:05:07,360
Speaker 15: why I think they have to be more consistent and

1317
01:05:07,400 --> 01:05:11,280
Speaker 15: more explosive outside the numbers and pushing the ball down

1318
01:05:11,320 --> 01:05:14,080
Speaker 15: the field. That's where Pierce comes into play. To a

1319
01:05:14,160 --> 01:05:17,320
Speaker 15: lesser degree Pittman and certainly add nine Mitchell. The Colts

1320
01:05:17,360 --> 01:05:20,680
Speaker 15: can be more threats outside in the passing game that should,

1321
01:05:20,840 --> 01:05:23,080
Speaker 15: you know, hopefully lighten up the box and take some

1322
01:05:23,080 --> 01:05:26,120
Speaker 15: of the attention away to teams dedicating and selling out

1323
01:05:26,160 --> 01:05:30,720
Speaker 15: to stop Jonathan Taylor. So again, he's I think he's

1324
01:05:30,960 --> 01:05:33,800
Speaker 15: rightfully so probably the focus of the Colts offense going

1325
01:05:33,800 --> 01:05:36,600
Speaker 15: into this game now that Richardson is on the sideline.

1326
01:05:36,840 --> 01:05:38,640
Speaker 15: But in saying that, you still have to be able

1327
01:05:38,640 --> 01:05:41,240
Speaker 15: to throw the ball. You cannot be throwing the ball

1328
01:05:41,280 --> 01:05:43,360
Speaker 15: for one hundred and fifty one hundred and seventy five

1329
01:05:43,440 --> 01:05:46,880
Speaker 15: yards consistently like the Colts have been and expect to win.

1330
01:05:47,080 --> 01:05:50,440
Speaker 15: So you want to be, you know, between two twenty

1331
01:05:50,480 --> 01:05:52,880
Speaker 15: five two point fifty in the passing game and be

1332
01:05:52,920 --> 01:05:55,360
Speaker 15: able to run the ball with Jonathan Taylor, afford yourself

1333
01:05:55,400 --> 01:05:58,280
Speaker 15: the ability to give Taylor twenty plus carries and try

1334
01:05:58,320 --> 01:05:59,240
Speaker 15: to win the game that way.

1335
01:06:00,000 --> 01:06:03,160
Speaker 3: Anthony Richardson has six starts so far this season. Joe

1336
01:06:03,200 --> 01:06:05,920
Speaker 3: Flacco is set to make his fourth start this season.

1337
01:06:06,320 --> 01:06:09,680
Speaker 3: How do you look at this quarterback picture, what's going

1338
01:06:09,720 --> 01:06:13,000
Speaker 3: on in Indianapolis, and maybe peeking into the future too.

1339
01:06:15,040 --> 01:06:17,800
Speaker 13: Yeah, it's it's certainly a different dynamic.

1340
01:06:18,440 --> 01:06:21,320
Speaker 15: Long story short, I mean, since Anthony Richardson was drafted

1341
01:06:21,320 --> 01:06:24,520
Speaker 15: eighteen months ago, it's been all about, we got to

1342
01:06:24,560 --> 01:06:25,479
Speaker 15: develop this guy.

1343
01:06:25,560 --> 01:06:26,880
Speaker 13: It's going to take some time.

1344
01:06:27,440 --> 01:06:29,640
Speaker 15: There's going to be a plan in place here, considering

1345
01:06:29,680 --> 01:06:32,880
Speaker 15: his limited resume coming out of college at Florida when he.

1346
01:06:32,920 --> 01:06:34,680
Speaker 13: Only started thirteen games.

1347
01:06:35,280 --> 01:06:37,160
Speaker 15: You know, he's twenty two years old, right, so for

1348
01:06:37,200 --> 01:06:40,240
Speaker 15: the second straight year, he's the youngest quarterback in the NFL.

1349
01:06:41,000 --> 01:06:44,160
Speaker 15: And it's it's been all about as long as he's healthy,

1350
01:06:44,720 --> 01:06:47,800
Speaker 15: he's our guy, because he's got to play. And now

1351
01:06:47,840 --> 01:06:51,919
Speaker 15: it's a pivot from that, it's about Anthony's got to grow.

1352
01:06:52,040 --> 01:06:53,160
Speaker 13: He's got to learn from.

1353
01:06:53,000 --> 01:06:55,120
Speaker 15: Watching and he's got to get better in terms of

1354
01:06:55,160 --> 01:06:58,040
Speaker 15: the mental side and you know, learn to become, you know,

1355
01:06:59,000 --> 01:07:01,760
Speaker 15: a pro quarterback and all that goes along with that.

1356
01:07:01,840 --> 01:07:02,840
Speaker 13: On and off the field.

1357
01:07:03,200 --> 01:07:06,960
Speaker 15: So the cults are definitely shifting the mindset going from

1358
01:07:07,400 --> 01:07:10,200
Speaker 15: it's all about the long term, but also trying to

1359
01:07:10,280 --> 01:07:13,800
Speaker 15: win as Anthony Richardson grows, because we've got this roster

1360
01:07:13,920 --> 01:07:16,200
Speaker 15: that's built to win right now, We've got a lot

1361
01:07:16,200 --> 01:07:18,600
Speaker 15: of core guys on this team that are in the

1362
01:07:18,640 --> 01:07:22,600
Speaker 15: primes of their careers. Well, those two things just didn't happen,

1363
01:07:22,720 --> 01:07:26,600
Speaker 15: right You weren't able to marry Richardson's growth and development

1364
01:07:26,960 --> 01:07:30,200
Speaker 15: while winning, and so the cults are pivoting to a

1365
01:07:30,240 --> 01:07:33,680
Speaker 15: guy like Joe Flacco that hopefully, I mean, it's definitely

1366
01:07:33,680 --> 01:07:36,560
Speaker 15: a two month plan compared to a long term plan.

1367
01:07:36,680 --> 01:07:40,320
Speaker 15: With Flacco at the helm, I think they're just telling

1368
01:07:40,360 --> 01:07:43,200
Speaker 15: themselves they owe it to the roster to make a

1369
01:07:43,280 --> 01:07:45,440
Speaker 15: run at the playoffs. And what they think is that

1370
01:07:45,480 --> 01:07:47,800
Speaker 15: the best chance to win with Joe Flacco at quarterback,

1371
01:07:47,880 --> 01:07:51,520
Speaker 15: considering you know, his experience, his resume, quite frankly, what

1372
01:07:51,560 --> 01:07:54,160
Speaker 15: he did last year with the Cleveland Browns, where you know,

1373
01:07:54,200 --> 01:07:55,720
Speaker 15: they were kind of left for dead and then all

1374
01:07:55,720 --> 01:07:57,680
Speaker 15: of a sudden, he's you know, four and one as

1375
01:07:57,720 --> 01:08:00,840
Speaker 15: a quarterback and throwing for over three hundred yards per game.

1376
01:08:00,920 --> 01:08:03,120
Speaker 15: That's what they're hoping they're going to get down the

1377
01:08:03,120 --> 01:08:04,720
Speaker 15: stretch here with Flacco a quarterback.

1378
01:08:05,600 --> 01:08:07,600
Speaker 2: Matt thanks for the time, we appreciate it. We'll see

1379
01:08:07,600 --> 01:08:08,800
Speaker 2: you up there in India on Sunday.

1380
01:08:09,920 --> 01:08:11,600
Speaker 13: All right, my pleasure, guys, thank you so much.

1381
01:08:11,680 --> 01:08:14,440
Speaker 2: All Right, that's Matt Taylor, play by play man for

1382
01:08:14,600 --> 01:08:17,360
Speaker 2: the Colts Radio Network, joining us and kind of filling

1383
01:08:17,439 --> 01:08:19,519
Speaker 2: us in there. Sounds like they've got a lot of

1384
01:08:19,520 --> 01:08:24,800
Speaker 2: inconsistencies on both sides of the ball. Yeah, Look, it

1385
01:08:24,800 --> 01:08:26,599
Speaker 2: can all come together in a week and you play

1386
01:08:26,600 --> 01:08:28,240
Speaker 2: your best game of the year, So the Bills have

1387
01:08:28,280 --> 01:08:29,160
Speaker 2: to be mindful of that.

1388
01:08:30,080 --> 01:08:30,400
Speaker 1: It is.

1389
01:08:30,640 --> 01:08:34,000
Speaker 2: It is surprising to me though, that with all the

1390
01:08:34,000 --> 01:08:37,880
Speaker 2: weapons they have at receiver, Like even if Pittman's got

1391
01:08:37,920 --> 01:08:39,760
Speaker 2: a bad back and is not the same player, which

1392
01:08:39,760 --> 01:08:42,840
Speaker 2: clearly he does not appear to be, you still have

1393
01:08:43,120 --> 01:08:45,560
Speaker 2: peers as a deep thread downs as your short to

1394
01:08:45,640 --> 01:08:51,439
Speaker 2: intermediate guy who's got He's basically their Khalil Shakir. And I,

1395
01:08:51,520 --> 01:08:54,720
Speaker 2: like I asked Matt, I'm surprised that their tight ends

1396
01:08:54,720 --> 01:08:57,839
Speaker 2: have not been more involved in the passing game. Mohali

1397
01:08:58,000 --> 01:09:01,800
Speaker 2: Cox looks like a powerful well and he looks like

1398
01:09:01,800 --> 01:09:04,519
Speaker 2: a power forward in a football uniform. He's like six seven,

1399
01:09:06,000 --> 01:09:08,479
Speaker 2: a gigantic target. And I'm not going to tell you

1400
01:09:08,560 --> 01:09:11,960
Speaker 2: he's fast, but he can run and good luck stop

1401
01:09:11,960 --> 01:09:15,559
Speaker 2: in that load once he's going like Holy Cow, and

1402
01:09:16,120 --> 01:09:19,960
Speaker 2: in previous iterations of Indianapolis offenses, he has been a

1403
01:09:19,960 --> 01:09:22,639
Speaker 2: bigger part of it in the passing game. It's really

1404
01:09:22,680 --> 01:09:27,080
Speaker 2: peculiar to not see the tight ends more heavily involved

1405
01:09:27,560 --> 01:09:30,439
Speaker 2: in the passing game for them. Now. Of course, watch

1406
01:09:30,520 --> 01:09:33,519
Speaker 2: this week. They catch like fifteen balls and you know

1407
01:09:33,520 --> 01:09:34,120
Speaker 2: they're a problem.

1408
01:09:34,200 --> 01:09:37,719
Speaker 1: Noah, But I was. I was shocked.

1409
01:09:37,760 --> 01:09:40,160
Speaker 2: I was going through the board the other day or

1410
01:09:40,240 --> 01:09:42,639
Speaker 2: last night. I was looking through it. I think Mohley

1411
01:09:42,720 --> 01:09:47,759
Speaker 2: Cox has like four receptions in nine games or eight games.

1412
01:09:48,400 --> 01:09:50,960
Speaker 2: I couldn't believe it. I mean, I'm not expecting him

1413
01:09:50,960 --> 01:09:53,880
Speaker 2: to have like forty catches. You know, he's not to

1414
01:09:54,040 --> 01:09:57,200
Speaker 2: Matt's point. He's not Kelsey, you know, or a George Kittle.

1415
01:09:58,040 --> 01:10:00,240
Speaker 1: But yeah, he's got seven recept.

1416
01:10:01,000 --> 01:10:05,519
Speaker 3: Wow, seven receptions for one hundred yards and one touchdown.

1417
01:10:05,320 --> 01:10:08,360
Speaker 1: In nine games. So I don't know. I was. I

1418
01:10:08,400 --> 01:10:09,400
Speaker 1: was a little thrown by that.

1419
01:10:10,240 --> 01:10:13,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've you know, ad I Mitchell is somebody who

1420
01:10:14,920 --> 01:10:17,160
Speaker 3: we spent a lot of time talking about, Our fans

1421
01:10:17,200 --> 01:10:20,280
Speaker 3: spent a lot of time talking about we don't draft him,

1422
01:10:20,280 --> 01:10:23,600
Speaker 3: and then our fans are some people are thinking, you know,

1423
01:10:23,680 --> 01:10:25,840
Speaker 3: why didn't he go to Buffalo. This is a good talent,

1424
01:10:25,920 --> 01:10:27,840
Speaker 3: this is this is somebody who we thought could fit

1425
01:10:27,840 --> 01:10:30,720
Speaker 3: in this offense. And I was I was eager to

1426
01:10:30,720 --> 01:10:33,320
Speaker 3: see what he would do with the Colts because I agree,

1427
01:10:33,320 --> 01:10:35,599
Speaker 3: I think he's a good wide receiver, but he's only

1428
01:10:35,600 --> 01:10:37,559
Speaker 3: had twelve catches for one hundred and forty.

1429
01:10:37,680 --> 01:10:39,960
Speaker 1: Well, he hasn't gotten on the field. He hasn't gotten

1430
01:10:39,960 --> 01:10:43,559
Speaker 1: on the field in the lineup. Yeah, so I'm a little.

1431
01:10:43,320 --> 01:10:46,000
Speaker 3: Shocked by that. Looking at their season. You know, this

1432
01:10:46,120 --> 01:10:49,280
Speaker 3: play of We're gonna play Joe Flacco and this is

1433
01:10:49,360 --> 01:10:52,080
Speaker 3: a quick fix because we have the roster to win

1434
01:10:52,200 --> 01:10:55,479
Speaker 3: games and hopefully with a veteran quarterback at the helm,

1435
01:10:55,520 --> 01:10:58,920
Speaker 3: we can put it together and squeak by. Because they

1436
01:10:59,040 --> 01:11:02,000
Speaker 3: have been in almost every they have been in every

1437
01:11:02,120 --> 01:11:04,800
Speaker 3: single game, they have had opportunities. It comes down to

1438
01:11:04,840 --> 01:11:07,640
Speaker 3: a few plays. They got the Bills this week, then

1439
01:11:07,680 --> 01:11:13,040
Speaker 3: they have the Jets, the Lions, the Patriots by week, Broncos, Titans, Giants, Jaguars.

1440
01:11:13,280 --> 01:11:15,559
Speaker 3: I think some of those games are winnable for the Colts.

1441
01:11:15,640 --> 01:11:19,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I would say yes. You have to believe

1442
01:11:19,640 --> 01:11:22,400
Speaker 2: whether it's ownership that made this quarterback decision or whether

1443
01:11:22,439 --> 01:11:24,280
Speaker 2: it's the front office or the coaching staff.

1444
01:11:25,160 --> 01:11:26,639
Speaker 1: They looked at that very thing.

1445
01:11:26,680 --> 01:11:29,840
Speaker 2: They said, Look, we're only like four or five plays

1446
01:11:29,880 --> 01:11:32,360
Speaker 2: away from turning some of these losses into wins. They've

1447
01:11:32,400 --> 01:11:34,800
Speaker 2: all been one score games, we've won less than half

1448
01:11:34,840 --> 01:11:35,160
Speaker 2: of them.

1449
01:11:35,600 --> 01:11:36,240
Speaker 1: Let's just put the.

1450
01:11:36,280 --> 01:11:39,720
Speaker 2: Veteran quarterback in there and hopefully that represents enough stability

1451
01:11:39,960 --> 01:11:42,160
Speaker 2: to get the four or five more plays we need

1452
01:11:42,720 --> 01:11:46,599
Speaker 2: to turn the losses into victories. Now, it hasn't really

1453
01:11:46,640 --> 01:11:48,320
Speaker 2: happened yet. They were playing a very good team in

1454
01:11:48,360 --> 01:11:53,120
Speaker 2: Minnesota last week, so that's no easy task. They're not

1455
01:11:53,120 --> 01:11:54,599
Speaker 2: playing an easy opponent this week.

1456
01:11:54,680 --> 01:11:55,920
Speaker 3: How to get a good one this week?

1457
01:11:56,000 --> 01:11:59,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, and to your point, they still have to play Detroit, right, Yes,

1458
01:12:00,360 --> 01:12:03,400
Speaker 2: there's some tough games left on the schedule here.

1459
01:12:03,840 --> 01:12:07,960
Speaker 1: But I mean, I guess Flaco.

1460
01:12:08,920 --> 01:12:11,519
Speaker 2: I can agree with the consistency factor because you look

1461
01:12:11,520 --> 01:12:15,759
Speaker 2: at Anthony Richardson, it's completed forty four percent of his passes.

1462
01:12:15,840 --> 01:12:18,519
Speaker 2: That is like an anemic number for your past. You

1463
01:12:18,560 --> 01:12:21,360
Speaker 2: can't win completing forty four percent of your passes.

1464
01:12:21,400 --> 01:12:22,640
Speaker 1: It's just not feasible.

1465
01:12:23,280 --> 01:12:24,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, not at all.

1466
01:12:26,040 --> 01:12:29,040
Speaker 3: I want a crystal ball where I can look into

1467
01:12:29,080 --> 01:12:32,200
Speaker 3: the future of the Indianapolis Colts and see how this

1468
01:12:32,240 --> 01:12:35,920
Speaker 3: all shakes out, because I do think it's fascinating. Adam

1469
01:12:36,000 --> 01:12:39,000
Speaker 3: Schefter had that tweet like last week when they made

1470
01:12:39,040 --> 01:12:41,519
Speaker 3: the change, and I can't remember what the stat was,

1471
01:12:41,560 --> 01:12:44,439
Speaker 3: but it was like quarterbacks were drafted in the first

1472
01:12:44,600 --> 01:12:49,160
Speaker 3: round and then got benched by their team the likelihood

1473
01:12:49,160 --> 01:12:51,679
Speaker 3: that they were then going to play for that team

1474
01:12:51,760 --> 01:12:54,679
Speaker 3: down the line. I think it was a very small number,

1475
01:12:55,000 --> 01:12:57,880
Speaker 3: So I'm just very interested to see how it plays

1476
01:12:57,880 --> 01:13:03,560
Speaker 3: out and something like that. Just with Anthony Richardson's profile

1477
01:13:03,680 --> 01:13:06,080
Speaker 3: as a college player and how he came into the

1478
01:13:06,200 --> 01:13:09,519
Speaker 3: NFL not a lot of starting experience under his belt,

1479
01:13:09,880 --> 01:13:13,479
Speaker 3: I think is just a reminder of how important it

1480
01:13:13,560 --> 01:13:17,360
Speaker 3: is to have starting experience in college football. If you're

1481
01:13:17,400 --> 01:13:20,960
Speaker 3: a quarterback, making the transition into the NFL with little

1482
01:13:21,000 --> 01:13:24,280
Speaker 3: starting experience is such a hard thing to do, and

1483
01:13:24,320 --> 01:13:27,640
Speaker 3: you really really have to commit to a player and

1484
01:13:27,720 --> 01:13:31,160
Speaker 3: be willing to work with him for multiple years, whether

1485
01:13:31,200 --> 01:13:34,040
Speaker 3: that's sit him for a season or two, let him

1486
01:13:34,120 --> 01:13:37,120
Speaker 3: learn under somebody, or let him go, let him play,

1487
01:13:37,160 --> 01:13:39,080
Speaker 3: and let him do it for a few years, because

1488
01:13:39,479 --> 01:13:42,200
Speaker 3: you can't you can't bench him, and then you can't

1489
01:13:42,240 --> 01:13:44,200
Speaker 3: say We're going to start you again and go back

1490
01:13:44,240 --> 01:13:46,360
Speaker 3: and forth and back and forth, because I don't think

1491
01:13:46,400 --> 01:13:50,000
Speaker 3: that's a recipe for success. So I'm very interested to

1492
01:13:50,040 --> 01:13:52,400
Speaker 3: see what happens in the future and if they are

1493
01:13:52,479 --> 01:13:56,439
Speaker 3: going to buy into Anthony Richardson or if this is

1494
01:13:56,479 --> 01:13:57,920
Speaker 3: going to be the beginning of the end.

1495
01:13:58,040 --> 01:13:58,240
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1496
01:13:58,280 --> 01:14:00,640
Speaker 2: Hall of Fame coach Bill parceales that he would not

1497
01:14:00,800 --> 01:14:04,320
Speaker 2: draft a quarterback out of college unless they had a

1498
01:14:04,360 --> 01:14:09,160
Speaker 2: sixty percent completion rate and had thirty starts in college.

1499
01:14:09,240 --> 01:14:12,679
Speaker 2: That was the baseline for him. He wouldn't have touched

1500
01:14:12,720 --> 01:14:15,599
Speaker 2: Anthony Richardson with a ten foot poll. You look at

1501
01:14:15,640 --> 01:14:18,479
Speaker 2: bow Knicks and Jaden Daniels also in this draft class

1502
01:14:18,520 --> 01:14:21,479
Speaker 2: sixty one starts in college for bow Knicks and over

1503
01:14:21,600 --> 01:14:25,240
Speaker 2: sixty starts for Jaden Daniels. Bo Nix hasn't been perfect,

1504
01:14:25,280 --> 01:14:27,920
Speaker 2: but he has certainly helped them win a few games,

1505
01:14:28,000 --> 01:14:30,080
Speaker 2: and Jaden Daniels is off the charts with all that

1506
01:14:30,120 --> 01:14:35,240
Speaker 2: he's seen. So it does have value, which kind of

1507
01:14:35,280 --> 01:14:38,640
Speaker 2: makes me worry about Anthony Richardson because, as Matt was

1508
01:14:38,640 --> 01:14:41,839
Speaker 2: telling us, yeah, they want him to learn and improve

1509
01:14:41,960 --> 01:14:46,479
Speaker 2: and develop while watching I don't think you learn and

1510
01:14:46,560 --> 01:14:48,720
Speaker 2: develop as effectively watching.

1511
01:14:48,880 --> 01:14:50,520
Speaker 1: As you do when you're playing.

1512
01:14:50,720 --> 01:14:54,559
Speaker 2: But they've chosen to take a shortcut here in a

1513
01:14:54,640 --> 01:14:57,880
Speaker 2: run to try to get to the playoffs. We'll see

1514
01:14:57,880 --> 01:14:59,880
Speaker 2: if it pays off for them, you know, with Flack

1515
01:15:00,600 --> 01:15:01,280
Speaker 2: at the helm.

1516
01:15:01,520 --> 01:15:02,599
Speaker 1: Gotta take a break here.

1517
01:15:02,720 --> 01:15:05,320
Speaker 2: When we come back, we'll open the phone lines for

1518
01:15:05,360 --> 01:15:07,320
Speaker 2: your phone calls as we are, asking you what are

1519
01:15:07,320 --> 01:15:10,679
Speaker 2: your top what's your top storyline for this game against

1520
01:15:10,680 --> 01:15:13,519
Speaker 2: the Colts. We'll also have an update with the Wednesday

1521
01:15:13,640 --> 01:15:16,120
Speaker 2: injury report out good news.

1522
01:15:16,000 --> 01:15:17,479
Speaker 1: Concerning Christian Benfort.

1523
01:15:17,479 --> 01:15:19,439
Speaker 2: Will pass all that along when we return here On

1524
01:15:19,439 --> 01:15:32,800
Speaker 2: One Bill's Live, presented by Collida Health, it's Buffalo Bills Ready.

1525
01:15:34,760 --> 01:15:38,519
Speaker 2: Game Day mentality is presented by Best Self, Best Self

1526
01:15:38,560 --> 01:15:42,519
Speaker 2: Behavioral Health, the official mental health partner of the Buffalo Bills,

1527
01:15:42,560 --> 01:15:45,439
Speaker 2: and for this week, it's pretty simple. The mindset for

1528
01:15:45,520 --> 01:15:47,840
Speaker 2: the game has to be, don't let it be a

1529
01:15:47,920 --> 01:15:50,519
Speaker 2: trap game, please, just because you've got to play the

1530
01:15:50,560 --> 01:15:53,600
Speaker 2: Chiefs next week at home, do not play down to

1531
01:15:53,680 --> 01:15:56,559
Speaker 2: your level of competition this week. Yes, the Colts are

1532
01:15:56,560 --> 01:15:58,360
Speaker 2: four and five, but as Maddie and I were just

1533
01:15:58,360 --> 01:16:02,639
Speaker 2: discussing in the break, our best win is a three

1534
01:16:02,760 --> 01:16:06,639
Speaker 2: point win at home against Pittsburgh twenty seven, twenty four.

1535
01:16:07,040 --> 01:16:10,679
Speaker 2: There are other victories home against Chicago, a three point

1536
01:16:10,760 --> 01:16:14,400
Speaker 2: win at Tennessee, who's won two games, and a six

1537
01:16:14,439 --> 01:16:19,839
Speaker 2: point win at home against Miami without Tua in the lineup.

1538
01:16:20,439 --> 01:16:24,040
Speaker 2: Do not allow yourself to get complacent and play down

1539
01:16:24,080 --> 01:16:24,720
Speaker 2: to your level of.

1540
01:16:24,680 --> 01:16:25,519
Speaker 1: Competition this day.

1541
01:16:25,600 --> 01:16:27,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, do not make it too hard. This is an

1542
01:16:27,960 --> 01:16:32,640
Speaker 3: offense in Buffalo that is firing on lots of cylinders,

1543
01:16:32,720 --> 01:16:36,000
Speaker 3: ranked fourth in the NFL, averaging almost thirty points per game.

1544
01:16:36,080 --> 01:16:39,679
Speaker 3: On defense, they've been doing a great job of taking

1545
01:16:39,720 --> 01:16:43,120
Speaker 3: the ball away and the offense has done an amazing

1546
01:16:43,200 --> 01:16:46,519
Speaker 3: job of scoring off of those takeaways. They have sixty

1547
01:16:46,560 --> 01:16:49,760
Speaker 3: one points off of takeaways. It's the second most in

1548
01:16:49,840 --> 01:16:53,760
Speaker 3: the NFL so far this season. We're waiting to see

1549
01:16:53,760 --> 01:16:57,880
Speaker 3: this team put it all together. See Buffalo have a

1550
01:16:57,920 --> 01:17:00,320
Speaker 3: complimentary football game. We've seen it at a time times,

1551
01:17:00,360 --> 01:17:02,280
Speaker 3: but let's see it in multiple games in a row.

1552
01:17:02,360 --> 01:17:06,080
Speaker 3: And get off to that fourteen to zero lead, whatever

1553
01:17:06,160 --> 01:17:08,880
Speaker 3: you want to call it. Get off to that hot start,

1554
01:17:08,960 --> 01:17:11,880
Speaker 3: score on the first drive, and don't make it too

1555
01:17:11,960 --> 01:17:15,960
Speaker 3: difficult on yourselves, because if you struggle in the first

1556
01:17:15,960 --> 01:17:19,400
Speaker 3: couple offensive drives, that you get you're putting yourself behind

1557
01:17:19,400 --> 01:17:20,439
Speaker 3: the eight ball right away.

1558
01:17:20,800 --> 01:17:23,439
Speaker 2: Well yeah, and not only that, you give the opponent,

1559
01:17:24,000 --> 01:17:27,600
Speaker 2: who respect you as a juggernaut team in the AFC

1560
01:17:28,320 --> 01:17:30,800
Speaker 2: hope that, hey, we can't play with these guys, and

1561
01:17:30,840 --> 01:17:33,519
Speaker 2: now that just gives them even more incentive to try

1562
01:17:33,560 --> 01:17:35,760
Speaker 2: to execute on their side of the ball. So that

1563
01:17:35,920 --> 01:17:40,360
Speaker 2: is game day mentality presented by best Self. Topic of

1564
01:17:40,439 --> 01:17:43,080
Speaker 2: discussion for you today, As we mentioned a little earlier,

1565
01:17:43,120 --> 01:17:45,240
Speaker 2: what is the biggest storyline for you in this weekend's

1566
01:17:45,240 --> 01:17:46,799
Speaker 2: game with the Colts.

1567
01:17:47,160 --> 01:17:49,960
Speaker 1: We go to the phones and to Tom on the

1568
01:17:49,960 --> 01:17:53,120
Speaker 1: west side. What's up Tom?

1569
01:17:53,439 --> 01:17:56,880
Speaker 19: Hey, could I concur this could definitely be a trap game.

1570
01:17:56,960 --> 01:17:59,080
Speaker 19: I think it's going to be a lot closer than

1571
01:17:59,080 --> 01:18:02,639
Speaker 19: people think. Even though the Bills are favored by four,

1572
01:18:03,240 --> 01:18:06,759
Speaker 19: it's really like a seven point game because the Colts

1573
01:18:06,760 --> 01:18:10,160
Speaker 19: are giving up a three point home advantage. But it

1574
01:18:10,240 --> 01:18:13,479
Speaker 19: comes down to the same thing every week. The Bills

1575
01:18:13,520 --> 01:18:16,320
Speaker 19: have to be able to stop the run because this

1576
01:18:16,360 --> 01:18:19,920
Speaker 19: week is Jonathan Taylor and I'm glad they brought in

1577
01:18:20,000 --> 01:18:28,360
Speaker 19: Phillips and Jefferson. But Phillips is he's jeez, my kids

1578
01:18:28,360 --> 01:18:31,280
Speaker 19: are walking in right now. But anyway, he's a short

1579
01:18:31,360 --> 01:18:36,679
Speaker 19: term rental and he's injury prone. I don't know about

1580
01:18:36,800 --> 01:18:41,240
Speaker 19: Jefferson's injury history, but he really hasn't been around here much.

1581
01:18:41,640 --> 01:18:44,160
Speaker 19: And I'm just I'm worried about the run game more

1582
01:18:44,200 --> 01:18:47,360
Speaker 19: than anything. So go ahead and give me your response.

1583
01:18:47,520 --> 01:18:50,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, no problem, Tom, It is a legitimate concern. I mean,

1584
01:18:50,840 --> 01:18:54,760
Speaker 2: Jonathan Taylor is an elite back in this league, and

1585
01:18:55,160 --> 01:18:57,439
Speaker 2: you heard Matt Taylor earlier in the hour. The play

1586
01:18:57,439 --> 01:19:01,120
Speaker 2: by play man for the Colts Radio network basically say

1587
01:19:01,320 --> 01:19:04,040
Speaker 2: that the offense is adjusting to the changes in the

1588
01:19:04,120 --> 01:19:06,760
Speaker 2: run game with Richardson out of the lineup and Flaco

1589
01:19:06,800 --> 01:19:09,080
Speaker 2: in the lineup, because it is very different. You're not

1590
01:19:09,080 --> 01:19:12,800
Speaker 2: going to have any designed runs for Joe Flacco, and

1591
01:19:12,880 --> 01:19:15,719
Speaker 2: so I guess to a certain extent, that allows opposing

1592
01:19:15,800 --> 01:19:19,599
Speaker 2: defenses to key on Taylor a bit more effectively without

1593
01:19:19,760 --> 01:19:23,000
Speaker 2: worry of a read option pull out by Richardson. Is

1594
01:19:23,040 --> 01:19:25,640
Speaker 2: he often running out the backside? You don't have to

1595
01:19:25,640 --> 01:19:29,240
Speaker 2: worry about that with Flaco, So maybe it makes Taylor

1596
01:19:29,479 --> 01:19:32,519
Speaker 2: slightly easier to defend, but it doesn't change the fact

1597
01:19:33,040 --> 01:19:36,080
Speaker 2: that you better be gap sound and you better have

1598
01:19:36,240 --> 01:19:39,320
Speaker 2: sound fundamental tackling because you know, this is a two

1599
01:19:39,400 --> 01:19:42,360
Speaker 2: hundred and fifteen pound back that runs three four three nine,

1600
01:19:43,040 --> 01:19:45,200
Speaker 2: and if you give him a crack, he will go

1601
01:19:45,320 --> 01:19:46,439
Speaker 2: sixty yards to the Enzo.

1602
01:19:47,080 --> 01:19:50,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, Jonathan Taylor is very good at doing so. And

1603
01:19:50,840 --> 01:19:55,000
Speaker 3: with Anthony Richardson as their quarterback, you have to account

1604
01:19:55,040 --> 01:19:57,800
Speaker 3: for two guys who can run the football. And I

1605
01:19:57,840 --> 01:20:00,760
Speaker 3: feel like the Colts have done such good job of

1606
01:20:00,800 --> 01:20:04,280
Speaker 3: getting Taylor out in space two in terms of being

1607
01:20:04,320 --> 01:20:06,439
Speaker 3: involved in the passing game, and he'll catch a pass

1608
01:20:06,479 --> 01:20:10,240
Speaker 3: and run it for twenty yards. But we've seen Buffalo's

1609
01:20:10,240 --> 01:20:13,439
Speaker 3: defense stop the run before. This isn't It has been

1610
01:20:13,560 --> 01:20:15,920
Speaker 3: tough for them to do it consistently throughout the season.

1611
01:20:16,160 --> 01:20:18,760
Speaker 3: They ranked top fifteen allowing one hundred and twenty three

1612
01:20:18,840 --> 01:20:21,360
Speaker 3: rushing yards per game, so middle of the pack in

1613
01:20:21,439 --> 01:20:24,120
Speaker 3: terms of yards per rush. That's where they've struggled. And

1614
01:20:24,120 --> 01:20:26,200
Speaker 3: there have been a couple games where I would say

1615
01:20:26,200 --> 01:20:30,479
Speaker 3: have skewed that number for them because Baltimore, we know

1616
01:20:30,600 --> 01:20:33,960
Speaker 3: what happened there. I think that skews your yards per

1617
01:20:34,040 --> 01:20:38,439
Speaker 3: rush number. But we have seen them do it this season.

1618
01:20:38,560 --> 01:20:41,400
Speaker 3: It's just putting it together multiple games in a row

1619
01:20:41,439 --> 01:20:46,439
Speaker 3: and throughout an entire game. Looking at this in a

1620
01:20:46,479 --> 01:20:50,040
Speaker 3: positive light, the Miami Dolphins game is a tough game

1621
01:20:50,080 --> 01:20:54,640
Speaker 3: because you have to pick your poison. That's what defensive coordinator.

1622
01:20:54,280 --> 01:20:55,240
Speaker 8: Bobby Babbage said.

1623
01:20:55,520 --> 01:21:00,120
Speaker 3: You've got a high flying offense, quick fast offense in

1624
01:21:00,200 --> 01:21:02,800
Speaker 3: what Tyreek Hill and Jalen Wattle can do if you

1625
01:21:02,840 --> 01:21:06,160
Speaker 3: get them going. The Bills were able to shut them down.

1626
01:21:06,320 --> 01:21:10,439
Speaker 3: So the run game what was happening, and unfortunately Devon

1627
01:21:10,520 --> 01:21:15,240
Speaker 3: a Chan went off. He's done so before against Buffalo.

1628
01:21:15,920 --> 01:21:18,120
Speaker 3: They picked that's how we want to play this game.

1629
01:21:18,240 --> 01:21:20,120
Speaker 3: Will let you run it at us, and we believe

1630
01:21:20,120 --> 01:21:24,080
Speaker 3: we could still beat you. That is what happened. Maybe

1631
01:21:24,080 --> 01:21:25,960
Speaker 3: this game is a little bit different because you're not

1632
01:21:26,040 --> 01:21:29,040
Speaker 3: getting the Miami Dolphins. You're not getting a Tyreek Hill

1633
01:21:29,439 --> 01:21:32,880
Speaker 3: on offense, You're getting a Josh Downs. You're getting an

1634
01:21:32,880 --> 01:21:37,479
Speaker 3: older quarterback in Joe Flacco who isn't going to move

1635
01:21:37,520 --> 01:21:40,559
Speaker 3: out of the pocket that much. So my hope is

1636
01:21:40,600 --> 01:21:43,200
Speaker 3: that facing a quarterback like him in an offense that's

1637
01:21:43,240 --> 01:21:46,800
Speaker 3: been struggling to get their receivers involved and their tight

1638
01:21:46,880 --> 01:21:50,240
Speaker 3: ends involved in things, is that we get a game

1639
01:21:50,280 --> 01:21:52,799
Speaker 3: where we do see the pass rush come live. Even

1640
01:21:52,920 --> 01:21:55,960
Speaker 3: if this defensive line, Buffalo's defensive line is a little

1641
01:21:55,960 --> 01:21:56,519
Speaker 3: bit dinged up.

1642
01:21:56,600 --> 01:21:59,320
Speaker 1: Right now, let's jump back on the phone lines and

1643
01:21:59,360 --> 01:22:01,280
Speaker 1: go to Nick in New York. What do you got

1644
01:22:01,360 --> 01:22:02,120
Speaker 1: for us, Nick.

1645
01:22:03,640 --> 01:22:07,800
Speaker 12: Browne, Miss glab Sunday afternoon, we go for five in

1646
01:22:07,840 --> 01:22:08,160
Speaker 12: a row.

1647
01:22:08,280 --> 01:22:08,760
Speaker 4: Let's go.

1648
01:22:11,120 --> 01:22:17,400
Speaker 12: Regards As regards today's topic, Look, all due respect to

1649
01:22:18,000 --> 01:22:21,080
Speaker 12: Matt Taylor, who knows more about the Colts than some

1650
01:22:21,320 --> 01:22:24,479
Speaker 12: jamoke sitting here in New York City knows about him.

1651
01:22:24,560 --> 01:22:28,040
Speaker 12: We're the more talented team, right, like we smacked Jacksonville

1652
01:22:28,080 --> 01:22:31,800
Speaker 12: around the Colts gave up thirty seven points to them,

1653
01:22:31,920 --> 01:22:33,800
Speaker 12: and not because they had to travel to London, but

1654
01:22:33,920 --> 01:22:37,360
Speaker 12: because the Colts have some deficiencies that we don't have

1655
01:22:37,800 --> 01:22:40,439
Speaker 12: and they don't have Josh. So look, we should win

1656
01:22:40,479 --> 01:22:45,320
Speaker 12: the game. But you know a drum that Bill's Mafia

1657
01:22:45,320 --> 01:22:48,080
Speaker 12: has been beating you guys have probably talked about more

1658
01:22:48,120 --> 01:22:51,160
Speaker 12: times than you ever cared to, is the slow starts

1659
01:22:51,160 --> 01:22:53,920
Speaker 12: that we keep getting off to. And we had another

1660
01:22:53,960 --> 01:22:57,040
Speaker 12: slow start against Miami right another three and out. And

1661
01:22:57,120 --> 01:23:00,360
Speaker 12: it's not like we're driving down with our scripted plays

1662
01:23:00,360 --> 01:23:02,920
Speaker 12: to the thirty and fizzling out or getting into the

1663
01:23:02,920 --> 01:23:05,639
Speaker 12: red zone and settling for field goals. We're going three

1664
01:23:05,720 --> 01:23:08,519
Speaker 12: and out a lot, and I think we got to

1665
01:23:08,600 --> 01:23:12,080
Speaker 12: see a turnaround there well before playoff time, because I

1666
01:23:12,120 --> 01:23:14,479
Speaker 12: don't think we're going to feel good heading into Kansas

1667
01:23:14,479 --> 01:23:18,240
Speaker 12: City in January and being timid when it comes to

1668
01:23:18,439 --> 01:23:21,920
Speaker 12: our scripted plays. Now, you heard Josh in the interview

1669
01:23:21,960 --> 01:23:25,679
Speaker 12: segment you played earlier mentioned the fact that Khalil Shakir

1670
01:23:25,920 --> 01:23:29,000
Speaker 12: weighs in during meetings with Joe Brady on what plays

1671
01:23:29,000 --> 01:23:31,240
Speaker 12: are going to get him going, and those plays are

1672
01:23:31,320 --> 01:23:34,599
Speaker 12: still ineffective. So it's clearly a deficiency that I think

1673
01:23:34,640 --> 01:23:37,280
Speaker 12: needs to be addressed. And hey, no time like the present, right,

1674
01:23:37,760 --> 01:23:41,680
Speaker 12: So that brings up two quick questions I want to

1675
01:23:41,720 --> 01:23:46,040
Speaker 12: throw in you guys direction, which is one, is there

1676
01:23:46,080 --> 01:23:49,440
Speaker 12: any chance Joe Brady is slow playing the playbook?

1677
01:23:50,920 --> 01:23:51,080
Speaker 6: Now?

1678
01:23:51,080 --> 01:23:54,680
Speaker 12: I know it might sound a bit obscure, but I

1679
01:23:54,720 --> 01:23:57,439
Speaker 12: swear I see Kansas City doing that sort of a thing.

1680
01:23:57,920 --> 01:24:01,840
Speaker 12: When we play Kansas City in the regular sea, we're

1681
01:24:01,880 --> 01:24:04,960
Speaker 12: not getting every last bell, whistle and wrinkle thrown at

1682
01:24:05,000 --> 01:24:07,360
Speaker 12: us from Andy Reid's playbook. When we see him in

1683
01:24:07,400 --> 01:24:11,759
Speaker 12: the playoffs, we are any chance Joe Brady is taking

1684
01:24:11,760 --> 01:24:14,280
Speaker 12: the page, so to speak, out of the Andy Reid

1685
01:24:14,320 --> 01:24:18,880
Speaker 12: playbook and not showing everything that we've got in the

1686
01:24:18,880 --> 01:24:23,280
Speaker 12: playbook in the regular season. And corresponding to that is,

1687
01:24:23,320 --> 01:24:27,640
Speaker 12: I've often wondered about Josh's ball handling, and particularly in

1688
01:24:27,760 --> 01:24:30,160
Speaker 12: light of you know, the was it the Week four

1689
01:24:30,200 --> 01:24:34,440
Speaker 12: loss to Jacksonville when Lamar Jackson once again put on

1690
01:24:34,560 --> 01:24:38,320
Speaker 12: quite the display of ball handling abilities. If we're going

1691
01:24:38,360 --> 01:24:41,640
Speaker 12: to utilize this dual threat quarterback of ours, would you

1692
01:24:41,680 --> 01:24:44,200
Speaker 12: guys also like to see Joe Brady dial up some

1693
01:24:44,240 --> 01:24:49,400
Speaker 12: more interesting and compelling ball handling things for Josh to

1694
01:24:49,439 --> 01:24:54,000
Speaker 12: do to get the off the defense misdirected. That's what

1695
01:24:54,040 --> 01:24:55,320
Speaker 12: I got for you, guys. Thanks so much.

1696
01:24:55,360 --> 01:24:57,559
Speaker 1: Go Bill yep, sure, thanks, thanks for the call.

1697
01:24:57,680 --> 01:24:57,880
Speaker 4: Nick.

1698
01:24:57,960 --> 01:25:01,679
Speaker 2: I mean to your first question, I'm sure we haven't

1699
01:25:01,680 --> 01:25:05,360
Speaker 2: seen everything that this offense can run play call wise.

1700
01:25:06,000 --> 01:25:08,280
Speaker 2: Does that mean he's purposely holding back?

1701
01:25:09,080 --> 01:25:09,600
Speaker 1: I don't know.

1702
01:25:09,760 --> 01:25:14,320
Speaker 2: I mean, your object, your number one object is to

1703
01:25:14,400 --> 01:25:19,439
Speaker 2: win games. I don't think you're gonna keep something in

1704
01:25:19,479 --> 01:25:21,840
Speaker 2: the book rather than utilize it if you think it's

1705
01:25:21,880 --> 01:25:24,479
Speaker 2: going to work well in a particular matchup in a

1706
01:25:24,520 --> 01:25:30,800
Speaker 2: given week. I get kind of what you're saying, but

1707
01:25:30,920 --> 01:25:33,080
Speaker 2: knowing the ultimate goal is to win games. I can't

1708
01:25:33,080 --> 01:25:37,519
Speaker 2: see coaches holding back for a game in that week saying, Oh,

1709
01:25:37,960 --> 01:25:41,240
Speaker 2: we're gonna hold on to this one until week twelve

1710
01:25:41,520 --> 01:25:43,719
Speaker 2: and we'll spring it on the Chiefs, or we're gonna

1711
01:25:43,760 --> 01:25:45,880
Speaker 2: wait until the playoffs to use this.

1712
01:25:47,680 --> 01:25:48,080
Speaker 1: I don't know.

1713
01:25:48,120 --> 01:25:53,360
Speaker 2: That just doesn't seem logical to me. I mean, there

1714
01:25:53,439 --> 01:25:58,160
Speaker 2: might be a trick play or some kind of gadget

1715
01:25:58,160 --> 01:26:02,200
Speaker 2: play that you save for the right moment. I could

1716
01:26:02,400 --> 01:26:05,560
Speaker 2: I could lean into that a little bit, but purposely

1717
01:26:06,000 --> 01:26:08,600
Speaker 2: not using parts of your playbook to save for the

1718
01:26:08,640 --> 01:26:12,839
Speaker 2: postseason or something like that, it just seems it seems

1719
01:26:13,040 --> 01:26:17,000
Speaker 2: a little It just seems a little out of whack

1720
01:26:17,520 --> 01:26:18,880
Speaker 2: for what the ultimate.

1721
01:26:18,520 --> 01:26:20,400
Speaker 1: Goal is every week, which is to get a W.

1722
01:26:20,680 --> 01:26:20,920
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1723
01:26:21,000 --> 01:26:23,400
Speaker 3: I agree. It is the cooler answer, though it would

1724
01:26:23,479 --> 01:26:25,840
Speaker 3: be so cool to be like, we know, we're going

1725
01:26:25,920 --> 01:26:29,679
Speaker 3: to flip to chapter thirteen of this playbook in week

1726
01:26:29,800 --> 01:26:34,360
Speaker 3: thirteen and then we're going to reveal XYZ and we're

1727
01:26:34,360 --> 01:26:36,800
Speaker 3: going to show you this play and we're going to

1728
01:26:36,960 --> 01:26:40,240
Speaker 3: fool this team with how we run the offense, and

1729
01:26:40,320 --> 01:26:43,240
Speaker 3: this week it is the cooler answer. I've thought about

1730
01:26:43,240 --> 01:26:46,439
Speaker 3: it before that would be I think it'd be pretty awesome.

1731
01:26:46,520 --> 01:26:50,479
Speaker 3: But knowing that you are coaching for your job every

1732
01:26:50,560 --> 01:26:54,600
Speaker 3: single week, you are coaching to make it into the playoffs,

1733
01:26:54,680 --> 01:26:58,360
Speaker 3: you're coaching to win your division. You're trying to do

1734
01:26:58,400 --> 01:27:01,280
Speaker 3: your best every single week. Some opponents are not going

1735
01:27:01,360 --> 01:27:03,800
Speaker 3: to be best on best, and maybe you don't have

1736
01:27:03,880 --> 01:27:06,559
Speaker 3: to show them your best stuff in that week. But

1737
01:27:07,560 --> 01:27:10,880
Speaker 3: you get enough games throughout the regular season where you

1738
01:27:10,960 --> 01:27:13,760
Speaker 3: are playing against high caliber opponents.

1739
01:27:14,000 --> 01:27:16,640
Speaker 2: The only quarter in which the Bills have been outscored

1740
01:27:16,640 --> 01:27:19,719
Speaker 2: this season is the first quarter. They've been outscored forty

1741
01:27:19,920 --> 01:27:24,000
Speaker 2: fifty one to forty three, an eight point differential in

1742
01:27:24,040 --> 01:27:27,640
Speaker 2: the negative. Every other quarter they have outscored their opponents.

1743
01:27:28,120 --> 01:27:32,560
Speaker 2: First half total one twenty one Bills one oh eight opponents.

1744
01:27:33,000 --> 01:27:36,200
Speaker 2: Second half it's one thirty nine to sixty five. It's

1745
01:27:36,240 --> 01:27:38,880
Speaker 2: better than a two to one margin that they're outscoring

1746
01:27:38,880 --> 01:27:41,400
Speaker 2: teams in the second half. So I get it, Nick,

1747
01:27:41,439 --> 01:27:44,479
Speaker 2: why you'd like to see that number be comparable to

1748
01:27:44,560 --> 01:27:47,400
Speaker 2: that in the first quarter or the first half.

1749
01:27:47,680 --> 01:27:48,639
Speaker 1: Gotta take a break here.

1750
01:27:48,680 --> 01:27:50,360
Speaker 2: One more segment to go on A Wednesday edition of

1751
01:27:50,400 --> 01:27:52,040
Speaker 2: One Bills Live presented by Kalida Health.

1752
01:27:52,080 --> 01:28:04,080
Speaker 20: It's Buffalo Bills Radio.

1753
01:28:06,439 --> 01:28:08,439
Speaker 2: All right back here on Want of Bill's Live, Chris Brown,

1754
01:28:08,479 --> 01:28:11,000
Speaker 2: Maddy Glad with you on a Wednesday.

1755
01:28:11,600 --> 01:28:12,559
Speaker 1: And you know, as for.

1756
01:28:14,040 --> 01:28:17,759
Speaker 2: Storylines, I think we've kind of effectively covered the Jonathan

1757
01:28:17,800 --> 01:28:21,360
Speaker 2: Taylor angle here. I'm trying to figure out if there's

1758
01:28:21,439 --> 01:28:24,240
Speaker 2: anything besides that. I mean, obviously there are things to

1759
01:28:24,320 --> 01:28:33,320
Speaker 2: focus on defensively too, or I'm sorry, offensively, but I

1760
01:28:33,360 --> 01:28:35,439
Speaker 2: don't know what to make of as Colt's defense because

1761
01:28:35,439 --> 01:28:37,439
Speaker 2: they have those two big guys back in the middle

1762
01:28:37,479 --> 01:28:44,120
Speaker 2: now healthy and Grover Stewart and DeForrest Buckner. So like

1763
01:28:44,240 --> 01:28:47,439
Speaker 2: Orlovsky was saying yesterday on the show, Run to the Edges,

1764
01:28:48,400 --> 01:28:51,240
Speaker 2: they have good linebackers. I think it's the secondary that

1765
01:28:51,320 --> 01:28:55,200
Speaker 2: can be had here. The outside corners are vulnerable, and

1766
01:28:55,760 --> 01:28:59,000
Speaker 2: I wouldn't be surprised if that's where Joe Brady decides

1767
01:28:59,040 --> 01:29:01,280
Speaker 2: to focus his efforts in the passing.

1768
01:29:01,720 --> 01:29:05,920
Speaker 3: I wonder if because of that we see a few

1769
01:29:05,960 --> 01:29:08,840
Speaker 3: more big plays. It's not this is something that in

1770
01:29:08,880 --> 01:29:11,880
Speaker 3: the past. The way the defenses play this offense is

1771
01:29:12,320 --> 01:29:15,120
Speaker 3: this offense and the Bills is you're going to have

1772
01:29:15,200 --> 01:29:18,280
Speaker 3: to grind out every single inch of the field and

1773
01:29:18,360 --> 01:29:20,720
Speaker 3: maybe there's going to be some space on the outside

1774
01:29:21,000 --> 01:29:22,639
Speaker 3: and down the field to hit on some of those

1775
01:29:22,640 --> 01:29:23,360
Speaker 3: bigger plays.

1776
01:29:23,880 --> 01:29:27,080
Speaker 2: And you don't have to worry about whether being a factor.

1777
01:29:27,120 --> 01:29:30,919
Speaker 2: You're inside, So if you want to take that aggressive approach,

1778
01:29:31,320 --> 01:29:33,320
Speaker 2: weather isn't a factor and you know it won't be

1779
01:29:34,160 --> 01:29:36,160
Speaker 2: so to me, I think it's an option.

1780
01:29:38,280 --> 01:29:39,000
Speaker 1: I also think.

1781
01:29:38,880 --> 01:29:43,080
Speaker 2: Shakir and Kinkaid have relatively favorable matchups. Kenny Moore is

1782
01:29:43,120 --> 01:29:46,479
Speaker 2: a stalwart veteran slot corner, but he struggled this year.

1783
01:29:47,160 --> 01:29:49,200
Speaker 2: That's it for us today. We'll catch it with a

1784
01:29:49,200 --> 01:29:50,160
Speaker 2: Thursday edition at on
