1
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:35,280
Speaker 1: This is One Bill's Live presented by Calida Health.

2
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 2: How the heck are you here on a Tuesday? Chris

3
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:42,000
Speaker 2: Brown Steve Jasker with you. One Bill's Live is the show.

4
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:44,960
Speaker 2: Thanks for joining us. We'll be here till three and

5
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:48,720
Speaker 2: plenty to get to today. Sean McDermott addressed the media

6
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:52,519
Speaker 2: yesterday and again today here on this short week with

7
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 2: the game coming up quickly on Thursday night. Injury report

8
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 2: got some major news late yesterday when coach McDermott revealed

9
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 2: that tight end Dawson Knox is going to undergo wrisk

10
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:12,120
Speaker 2: surgery and is considered week to week at this point. Basically,

11
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 2: it was an injury that had been nagging him for

12
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:17,679
Speaker 2: a while. He had been trying to play through it,

13
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:21,560
Speaker 2: but we kind of got the sense that it had

14
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 2: gotten to a point where it was not getting better.

15
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 2: It wasn't going to get better, So address it now

16
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 2: and get back as quick as you can.

17
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 3: Yep.

18
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:35,480
Speaker 1: That's it's hard. That's a hard decision for a player

19
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 1: to make because it really really puts everything on hold

20
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:44,400
Speaker 1: and whatever good things you've got going go away. And

21
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 1: it also, you know, I mean, this is one more

22
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 1: injury the team's got to deal with this one on

23
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 1: the offensive side of the ball. Most of the injuries

24
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 1: have been on the defensive side, and there's no guaranteeing

25
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 1: he's gonna come back, you know, next week, two weeks.

26
00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 1: What a week to week means, it's it's going to

27
00:01:59,360 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 1: be a minute.

28
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 2: He's out indefinitely, basically, that's basically where it stands, but.

29
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 1: Not probably not for the season.

30
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 2: So yeah, So that's you know, the latest hit to

31
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:13,960
Speaker 2: the roster in terms of injury. On the good news

32
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 2: side and incidentally, practice updates presented by Lee Coom your

33
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 2: Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine, the good news is

34
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 2: you've got at Oliver out there participating in practice today.

35
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 2: Jordan Phillips, who left last week's game with a back injury,

36
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:40,519
Speaker 2: is practicing today. So at least on the defensive front,

37
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:44,080
Speaker 2: you don't appear to be any more shorthanded than you

38
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 2: were two weeks ago. Obviously, Oliver did not play last week,

39
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 2: which left them down a player. So there's that. Then

40
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:57,919
Speaker 2: with respect to you know, knocks, we'll have to see

41
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:01,119
Speaker 2: what happens. Coach mc dermit said they had not yet

42
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 2: made a determination as to whether or not to put

43
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 2: him on injured reserve, So what does that mean. That

44
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 2: means he could still be taking up a roster spot

45
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 2: while you know, undergoing a surgical procedure. He's certainly not

46
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:17,080
Speaker 2: playing this week, probably not next week, and then after

47
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 2: that who knows. But you wonder because if you put

48
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:22,359
Speaker 2: him on I or he's got to miss the next

49
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:26,639
Speaker 2: four games. And I kind of get the sense that

50
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 2: they're going to wait on the doctors to see what

51
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 2: they find in there and then make a determination from there.

52
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 2: That would seem to be what's holding up a decision

53
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 2: on exactly what his prognosis.

54
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 1: Is, right right, there's just too many, too many things

55
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 1: they don't know yet and wait and see is the

56
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 1: best they're trying to do. It's best for the player,

57
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 1: which is not always been the case in the history

58
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 1: of the National Football League, but it's one of the

59
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 1: things that's made Buffalo kind of a landing spot for

60
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 1: a lot of guys because they know that they're going

61
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 1: to be their hell's going to be put first. So

62
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 1: what the this is going to look like we remains

63
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 1: to be seen.

64
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 2: Von Miller appeared on the injury report yesterday. It was

65
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 2: listed as a veteran rest day, but his knee was

66
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 2: listed as the injury in question, even though it was

67
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 2: a veteran rest day. He was out there ready for

68
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 2: practice today. So we'll see what the Tuesday injury report

69
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 2: holds today. And I believe today is technically Friday, so

70
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 2: you will get game status on the report today because

71
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:33,839
Speaker 2: it's essentially like a Friday today. So we'll see what

72
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 2: the injury report reveals later this afternoon. On that front,

73
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:41,360
Speaker 2: Quentin Morris not practicing again today, so it doesn't look

74
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 2: good for him to return. He missed last week's game

75
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:46,919
Speaker 2: with the ankle injury, and so that leaves the Bills

76
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 2: suddenly shorthanded at the tight end spot. You have Reggie

77
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 2: Gilliam in reserve, and you also have on the practice

78
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:58,480
Speaker 2: squad undrafted rookie Joel Wilson out of Central Michigan. So

79
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 2: you'd like to dress three because if you lose one,

80
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:06,280
Speaker 2: your game plan could go completely out the window.

81
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 4: So usually dress three guys.

82
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:11,839
Speaker 2: Joel Wilson might have to be a practice squad elevation

83
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:12,479
Speaker 2: this week.

84
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, that it's it's a crucial element. I mean, they

85
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:17,719
Speaker 1: played a lot of twelve personnel.

86
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 2: I don't I don't think that's happening this week.

87
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:25,039
Speaker 1: Yeah, although it might Quinton Morris could take that, take

88
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 1: it over and they could.

89
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 4: Just go, no, he's injured. Oh that's right, he's not available.

90
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:33,040
Speaker 1: Reggie Gilliam could could.

91
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 2: But yeah, you're asking a lot there, yes, yeah, that

92
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 2: and it's I think you're looking at a lot of

93
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 2: eleven personnel on Thursday night.

94
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe Nope, without question, King Cage number one guy

95
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 1: in now, which.

96
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:52,840
Speaker 2: I don't think is a bad thing in light of

97
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 2: the game he had last week.

98
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:56,360
Speaker 1: We'll see, Yeah, we'll turn him loose a little bit.

99
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:01,920
Speaker 1: They go eleven personnel. I don't know how big of

100
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:05,040
Speaker 1: a repertoire of under center running plays they have out

101
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 1: of eleven. It's not as many as they have under

102
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 1: twelve out of twelve, I know that.

103
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 2: But they've been running for a higher average out of

104
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:12,360
Speaker 2: eleven personnel.

105
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 1: That's right. We had that discussion last week. The stats

106
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 1: say eleven is their better running formation or better personnel package. Actually,

107
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 1: so it does throw a you know, question mark into

108
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 1: the stew of this game, particularly but the short week,

109
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 1: I mean, you ain't install anything new.

110
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 2: Well, no, so just roll the ball out there and

111
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 2: try to make it happen. You can't lose another game here.

112
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:43,799
Speaker 2: You can't go four and four at.

113
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 1: The turn, right, I mean mathematically you can, but your

114
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 1: schedule gets emotional difficult. Emotionally, you're gonna you're gonna be

115
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 1: a wreck. Yeah, you've got a schedule coming up that

116
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 1: is a gauntlet, bro sleave. I mean, it's you don't

117
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,040
Speaker 1: have to tell me, right, We've been talking about this

118
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 1: for since the thing came out. You get to a

119
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 1: stretch of.

120
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:06,359
Speaker 2: This week, eleven of sixteen.

121
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 1: You got the Bucks, you got the Bengals, Broncos, Jets,

122
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 1: and then you go and the Jets have always been

123
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:14,679
Speaker 1: a you know, with Roberts problem. So it's the Jets,

124
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 1: the Eagles, the Chiefs, the Cowboys, and then the Chargers

125
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 1: and then the Patriots again.

126
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a stretch.

127
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 1: Yeah. Now, if you're gonna tell me we go four

128
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 1: and four and then snap off nine wins in a row, Okay,

129
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 1: I'll sign up for that. Yeah, but I ain't nobody

130
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 1: telling me that.

131
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, we got word. We'll get game status on the

132
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 2: injury report tomorrow, not today, So we'll just get a

133
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 2: designation for practice participation today and then game status designations

134
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 2: Wednesday afternoon. So that'll be the the equivalent of the

135
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 2: Friday practice report for injuries, so we'll get that tomorrow. U.

136
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 2: The other tidbit of news, we know that Dorian Williams

137
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 2: has been replaced in the lineup in two of his

138
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 2: last three game appearances Jacksonville in Week five last Sunday

139
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:16,520
Speaker 2: against the Patriots. You know, he's a rookie. He's gonna

140
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 2: make some mistakes, and you know, he got subbed out

141
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 2: as a result, and Tyrel Dodson went in. And when

142
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 2: coach McDermott was asked today, hey, do you expect Dorian

143
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 2: Williams to start this week in Matt Malono's old position,

144
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:38,719
Speaker 2: Coach McDermott said, we'll see. He acknowledged that Dorian's done

145
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:41,720
Speaker 2: some good things, so too was Tyrel Dotson. So that

146
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:45,559
Speaker 2: seems to be a platoon situation going forward until someone

147
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 2: definitively proves like I'm your guy, leave me in.

148
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I we've seen it happen, you know a

149
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 1: time or two where a young player goes in. I

150
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 1: mean you think back to James Cooks first carries a

151
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 1: pro in LA where he you know, he coughed it

152
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 1: up and we didn't see him for a month. There

153
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 1: might be a little bit of that going on with Dorian.

154
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 1: He'll go out there and do some great things, then

155
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 1: go off the air and miss and get his eye,

156
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 1: you know, get undisciplined because of his lack of experience, uh,

157
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 1: and give up a screenplay down the fort, down the

158
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 1: near side, you know, when you when you got to

159
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 1: have it some Yeah, there's gonna be some growing pains

160
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 1: if you start, if you're playing young guys. All coaches know.

161
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:28,560
Speaker 1: That's why a lot of them are very hesitant to

162
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 1: play young players. But they get better when they do play,

163
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:36,440
Speaker 1: and they develop faster when they play. So certainly you

164
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 1: can't go back and take back a bad play. But

165
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:44,000
Speaker 1: he's on the field for a reason, you know. I like.

166
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 1: I like letting guys play it out and overcoming mistakes.

167
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, because by the end of the season, where hopefully

168
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:53,000
Speaker 2: you're in the position to be in the playoffs, those

169
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 2: players are better for it and more prepared for it.

170
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 2: I mean we've used this example before, Steve, but three

171
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:03,720
Speaker 2: of the five players in Kansas City's Nickel package last

172
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:07,319
Speaker 2: year were rookies. At the start of the season, they

173
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:09,560
Speaker 2: went through some growing pains. Now they're also help by

174
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 2: the fact that they have an offense that puts up

175
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 2: thirty a game. So you can withstand maybe a mistake

176
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:18,840
Speaker 2: here or there by players without that much experience. But

177
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 2: come the end of the season in the playoffs, those

178
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:23,840
Speaker 2: guys are making interceptions. In the AFC title game, they're

179
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:27,680
Speaker 2: making plays, right. They made a difference for that football

180
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 2: team and route to the Super Bowl. Right, So I

181
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:33,839
Speaker 2: agree with you. The way to learn is to play.

182
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:35,679
Speaker 2: You can't give them enough reps.

183
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:38,959
Speaker 1: So yeah, well that's just it. You can't give them

184
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:39,560
Speaker 1: enough reps.

185
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, as many as you can take the good

186
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 2: with the bat.

187
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:45,079
Speaker 5: Yeah, you got to.

188
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 1: You got to bite your tongue cup some too. And

189
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:51,199
Speaker 1: you know, with Dotson sitting there playing and in a

190
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:56,080
Speaker 1: game like that, and I wonder if it would have

191
00:10:56,120 --> 00:11:00,720
Speaker 1: been a different situation had the Bills been up to score,

192
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:03,199
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Yeah, do they make that

193
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:05,080
Speaker 1: move right there or do they leave him in there

194
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 1: knowing that it's gonna be a different offensive game plan

195
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 1: on the other side, don't know, but they still that's

196
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:18,960
Speaker 1: you know, they do that when you do it like that,

197
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 1: where you get if if a guy needs a break,

198
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 1: you bring him out and you set him down for

199
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:26,400
Speaker 1: a minute, it becomes to be it comes to be expected,

200
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 1: and the thought process that the whole team goes through

201
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 1: because the guys on his side of the ball, particularly

202
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:38,320
Speaker 1: his position group, they're gonna notice it. They're gonna see it,

203
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 1: and they're gonna look and say, okay, wow, that that's

204
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:43,320
Speaker 1: probably a no go from that, somebody's gonna have to

205
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 1: go in for ei. They're gonna pull you know, they

206
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 1: start to think like that, and you know they're good.

207
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 1: They're positives and negatives with that. If you're standing there going, man,

208
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:53,719
Speaker 1: I cannot make a mistake here. That's that's no way

209
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 1: to play football, right. I don't want to sit down

210
00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 1: because I made a mistake. It's hard to get in

211
00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:02,960
Speaker 1: that mindset of playing free and easy and going and

212
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 1: seeing it and just going after it when you're afraid

213
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 1: to get sat down. Or there are other guys who

214
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:11,760
Speaker 1: are empowered by the opportunity. Now, once they get in,

215
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:13,680
Speaker 1: you can't get him off the field. It looked like

216
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 1: Dorian was gonna be one of those guys for a second.

217
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 4: He's active. I mean you notice him, he's around the ball.

218
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:22,560
Speaker 2: Yeah. The thing is sometimes he can get fooled he'll

219
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:25,719
Speaker 2: over pursue or here his eyes will be in the

220
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:29,479
Speaker 2: wrong place and suddenly he loses track of his assignment,

221
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 2: as was the case on a crossing route last week,

222
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 2: you know, and then he didn't even get the guy

223
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 2: out of bounds. He went down the sideline for extra yardage.

224
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:39,559
Speaker 2: So it's those kinds of plays that you run the

225
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 2: risk of surrendering. But I think you got a way out.

226
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:46,319
Speaker 2: Is he making more plays for you than he's giving up?

227
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:50,320
Speaker 2: And I would say on the whole that's probably true.

228
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:52,680
Speaker 2: I Mean, I'm not gonna pretend like I've watched every

229
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:58,079
Speaker 2: single snap of his but I just from a general

230
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:02,080
Speaker 2: eyeball view, I think he's been around the ball and

231
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:05,959
Speaker 2: made more plays than the ones that he's given up.

232
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 2: That's just my sense of it. Havn't seen him for

233
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:08,839
Speaker 2: three games.

234
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:12,080
Speaker 1: And and some of it has. You know, all this

235
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 1: all these players are you know, go through this not

236
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:17,200
Speaker 1: This isn't just Dorian Williams, this is everybody. This is

237
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:20,240
Speaker 1: this is Elam, It's Benford, It's it's all of them.

238
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:26,600
Speaker 1: It's Bernard and and and all of them. So we'll

239
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:30,160
Speaker 1: see they've got they've been decimated by injuries though right

240
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 1: down the middle of their defense, and they're they're trying

241
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:35,320
Speaker 1: to get through it. You know, they're trying to find

242
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 1: themselves again here on a in a season that's moving

243
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 1: pretty fast. So we'll have to see how they adjust

244
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:41,240
Speaker 1: on the on the fly.

245
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:42,439
Speaker 6: Uh.

246
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:44,720
Speaker 2: The other bit of news that came out came courtesy

247
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:47,800
Speaker 2: of our good friend Field Yates, ESPN NFL insider and

248
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 2: fantasy football expert. You hear them here every Thursday with

249
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:55,760
Speaker 2: the Ultimate Fantasy Lineup, and he reported earlier today that

250
00:13:55,880 --> 00:14:00,280
Speaker 2: the Bills and Dion Dawkins have restructured his contract to

251
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:05,760
Speaker 2: save almost four million dollars in cap space. This year,

252
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:10,679
Speaker 2: the Bills had about a million in cap space, so

253
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:13,360
Speaker 2: this bumps them up to about five million in cap

254
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:18,080
Speaker 2: space going forward. And a lot of people believe this

255
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 2: is Brandon Bean positioning himself to orchestrate a trade and

256
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 2: take on another player salary if need be.

257
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 4: And I get it.

258
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 2: I mean, your defense has had three of their most

259
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:37,360
Speaker 2: talented players struck down by long term injuries in Milano

260
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 2: White and Daikwon Jones, and now you're down a tight

261
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 2: end in Dawson Knox for how long we do not

262
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 2: know yet. And so you're trying to fortify a roster that,

263
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:54,160
Speaker 2: I mean, let's make it plain, is shorthanded, particularly on

264
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 2: the defensive side of the ball.

265
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:58,000
Speaker 4: So a lot of.

266
00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 2: People believe, and I would put myself in this category,

267
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:04,840
Speaker 2: that Randon Bean is positioning himself to orchestrate a trade

268
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 2: if such an opportunity arises that he believes can make

269
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 2: his team better and doesn't cost the king's ransom.

270
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:13,480
Speaker 1: Which the problem is we've got. And I was I

271
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 1: was laughing because one of my butt they saw the

272
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 1: poll out today that we haven't gotten to yet, and

273
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:21,440
Speaker 1: you know, are you are you gonna you know, if

274
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:23,280
Speaker 1: the Bills make a trade, which position do you want?

275
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 1: It's cornerback, linebacker, wide receiver or other. And my friend

276
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 1: asked me, what do you think, like off on the slide,

277
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 1: like I was going to tell him my real answer,

278
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 1: like I don't do that on the radio, right, I said,

279
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:35,960
Speaker 1: you could pick any one of those three and next

280
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 1: week it might be a different one. There's this week's

281
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 1: right answer might be next week's wrong answer. So you

282
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:43,920
Speaker 1: make the trade and all of a sudden, what are

283
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:45,320
Speaker 1: you doing? We needed a wide out and not a

284
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 1: line but you know us all that stuff. So this

285
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 1: this season, more than any other in recent memory, to me,

286
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 1: to me proves that man, oh man, one week to another,

287
00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:57,560
Speaker 1: you know what's going to happen, right and.

288
00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:00,760
Speaker 2: That's why you tend to see more of the deals

289
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 2: happen right before the deadline. Play another game, see what

290
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 2: your roster looks like that week, and then get to

291
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:10,840
Speaker 2: the deadline at November first and say, okay, this is

292
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 2: our last swing at it, because we can't make a

293
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 2: move like this after November first. This is where we

294
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:17,320
Speaker 2: sit right now. This is where we need some help.

295
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:21,040
Speaker 2: What can we do without giving up the farm to

296
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:24,280
Speaker 2: improve in that area? And that is the topic of

297
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 2: discussion for you today. As Steve said, if the Bills

298
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:32,240
Speaker 2: make a trade, which position do you want to see enhanced?

299
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:38,160
Speaker 2: And the poll is as follows A cornerback, b linebackers,

300
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 2: see wide receiver, d other And I wouldn't be surprised

301
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:47,200
Speaker 2: if there's a healthy amount of other in there, because

302
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 2: I think it can make a case for defensive tackle.

303
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:52,680
Speaker 2: You know, there's other positions you can make a case

304
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 2: for as well, but corner because of the loss of White,

305
00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:00,920
Speaker 2: linebacker because of the loss of Milano, and then wide

306
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:03,400
Speaker 2: receiver is an interesting one. People always want to add

307
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:07,159
Speaker 2: one I personally, and wide receivers leading the poll go

308
00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:09,879
Speaker 2: figure at about forty percent of the vote.

309
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 4: So to me, I don't think.

310
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:17,639
Speaker 2: You've adequately tapped into the capabilities of trans Sherfield or

311
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 2: Deontay Hardy yet. To me, it would be premature to

312
00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 2: add another receiver. Now if there is suddenly some kind

313
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 2: of proven wide out that you did not expect to

314
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 2: be on the market, and all of a sudden he's

315
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 2: there and you've got enough capital to make that other

316
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:39,080
Speaker 2: team happy, Okay, I get it, go for it. But

317
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:42,439
Speaker 2: short of that, you got these two guys that have

318
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 2: been here since the spring, and I don't know that

319
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:50,040
Speaker 2: you've adequately tapped into what they can do yet. I

320
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:54,080
Speaker 2: think you at least need to explore that more. And

321
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:56,000
Speaker 2: maybe this is the week to do it. You're down

322
00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:58,919
Speaker 2: a tight end. You're probably not playing two tight end

323
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:01,280
Speaker 2: sets nearly as much as you have so far this season.

324
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 4: Maybe this is the week.

325
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:05,359
Speaker 2: Just yeah, kick the tires and see what you have

326
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 2: under the hood.

327
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:08,239
Speaker 1: Yeah. And they're also coming off a game where they

328
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:11,600
Speaker 1: all got their feet wet against the Patriots. They all

329
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:13,640
Speaker 1: got you know, they were all really efficient in their

330
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 1: targets and their catches. You know, we've been talking about

331
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:19,200
Speaker 1: this all day. With the exception of Diggs, who caught

332
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:22,480
Speaker 1: half of his twelve targets and Gabe Davis, who only

333
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:25,680
Speaker 1: caught one of his five targets, everybody else was perfect

334
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 1: on the day except for and Knox caught one of

335
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:29,920
Speaker 1: his three. And Knox is the one who's sitting down

336
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:32,399
Speaker 1: because of his injury. Right, everybody else in there was

337
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:34,520
Speaker 1: one hundred percent on their targets and catches. If you

338
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:36,360
Speaker 1: threw it to them, they caught it, all of them.

339
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 1: So they're coming into this saying, Okay, well, let's give

340
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:42,560
Speaker 1: them a little more we got We're down, not Dawson

341
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:48,120
Speaker 1: Knox's Let's see what Shakir can do with thirty eight

342
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 1: or forty snaps instead of twenty four snaps or whatever

343
00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:52,440
Speaker 1: it was he got. He got a ton of snaps

344
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 1: this last week.

345
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:54,680
Speaker 4: They did, so he made some place.

346
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:59,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, he had four for thirty five. But that's what

347
00:18:59,920 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 1: I'm thinking, Let's let's get them out there. And also

348
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:08,879
Speaker 1: there's a lot of I mean, I think you need

349
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:12,560
Speaker 1: to have a sit down with Josh too and say hey, hey, dude,

350
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:14,680
Speaker 1: go out and show them who you are. You know,

351
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 1: don't don't know who you are.

352
00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:20,080
Speaker 2: That's another discussion, maybe even for another day. Because with

353
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:22,640
Speaker 2: the defense as shorthanded as they are, they are having

354
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:25,040
Speaker 2: a monumental problem stopping the run. I think in the

355
00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:27,040
Speaker 2: last three games they're near the bottom of the league

356
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:30,160
Speaker 2: and run defense. So they've shown they have not been

357
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:33,879
Speaker 2: able to adjust to the absences due to injury, and

358
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:36,040
Speaker 2: I think more of the burden is going to have

359
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:40,240
Speaker 2: to fall on the offense to consistently score more points,

360
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:42,480
Speaker 2: to provide a little bit more of a cushion.

361
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:44,679
Speaker 1: I've got to widen that gap, that margin of error

362
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:46,880
Speaker 1: for the defense. Yeah, I would say that as well.

363
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 1: And it's not I don't it's the injuries. I mean,

364
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:53,879
Speaker 1: it's the it's the you know you're down, that's two

365
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:59,480
Speaker 1: principal reason. Yeah, you're down your top corner to top defense,

366
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:03,440
Speaker 1: to top middle defenders in Milano and Daikwon ed wasn't

367
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:06,040
Speaker 1: in there the other day.

368
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:08,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, you get a lot. Yeah, it's a lot.

369
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:08,600
Speaker 1: It's a lot.

370
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:10,600
Speaker 2: It's a lot to overcome in a short period of time.

371
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:12,440
Speaker 2: It's not like you lost one guy in week two

372
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 2: and the other guy in week twelve. I mean these

373
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:19,440
Speaker 2: came in rapid succession in back to back weeks, and

374
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:23,440
Speaker 2: they're still trying to nail it down and tighten things up.

375
00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:27,000
Speaker 2: This week's game against the Bucks is presented by Wegmans.

376
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 2: Download the Meals to Go app from Wegmans and get

377
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:33,639
Speaker 2: delicious meals delivered. So you'll let us know eight oh

378
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:36,120
Speaker 2: three oh five point fifty one eight at eight five

379
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:37,720
Speaker 2: fifty two, five point fifty.

380
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:38,960
Speaker 4: If the Bills make a trade.

381
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:41,560
Speaker 2: We saw them clear cap space on a restructure with

382
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:44,600
Speaker 2: Dion Dawkins, so maybe they're getting ready to do something.

383
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 2: If the Bills make a trade, which position do you

384
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:52,320
Speaker 2: want addressed? A corner, B, linebacker, C, wide receiver or

385
00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:56,879
Speaker 2: D something else. The pollsters have overwhelmingly voted in favor

386
00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:59,480
Speaker 2: of wide receiver with forty percent of the vote. The

387
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:02,760
Speaker 2: other two are pretty even Stephen corner and linebacker and

388
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:06,040
Speaker 2: about almost ten percent of the vote going to other position.

389
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 2: So you let us know either on the tweet sheet

390
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:12,000
Speaker 2: or you can give us a call. Eight h three

391
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:14,960
Speaker 2: five fifty one eighty eight five fifty two five to

392
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 2: fifty numbers got lines open for you there, But let's

393
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:21,240
Speaker 2: check the tweet sheet first because we got a boatload

394
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:26,360
Speaker 2: of answers coming in there. And tweet sheet, as always,

395
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:31,159
Speaker 2: is brought to you by Corrigan Moving Systems, the official

396
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 2: equipment moving company of the Buffalo Bills. And we begin

397
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:40,800
Speaker 2: with Notta, who says, in order of urgency, linebacker, corner

398
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:44,479
Speaker 2: parentheses a very close second, and then wide receiver.

399
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:46,960
Speaker 4: If Bills could do both.

400
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:50,320
Speaker 2: Linebacker and corner and continue to develop Kincaid and Cook

401
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:54,159
Speaker 2: in the passing game, I think the Bills have a chance.

402
00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 2: I will say that if you look at it thus

403
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:03,240
Speaker 2: far and then the starters left the lineup due to injury. Steve,

404
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:08,080
Speaker 2: I think the position of greatest concern was probably Milano's

405
00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:11,439
Speaker 2: spot at linebacker, because at least you felt like you

406
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:15,720
Speaker 2: had some measure of depth at corner, guys that have

407
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:18,240
Speaker 2: actually played not only in the regular season but in

408
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:22,520
Speaker 2: playoff games last year in Benford Elam and Jackson Okay

409
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:29,640
Speaker 2: defensive tackle, you felt like you had experienced starters in reserve, Poonaford,

410
00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:33,639
Speaker 2: Jordan Phillips, you know, guys, Tim Settle, Guys that you

411
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:37,879
Speaker 2: could roll in and at least hold the fort. Milano's

412
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:41,639
Speaker 2: spot was far more of an unknown because a you

413
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:44,639
Speaker 2: had a rookie who was inexperienced in Dorian Williams, and

414
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:47,440
Speaker 2: b you had a guy in Tyrrel Dotson who's been here,

415
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 2: knows the defense, but also doesn't have a lot of

416
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 2: time on the field on this defense in a regular

417
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:55,960
Speaker 2: season game anyway. He's got like three four starts, right,

418
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:59,240
Speaker 2: you know, in four years. So I think that's why

419
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 2: linebacker is of great concern. And I think that's where

420
00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:05,920
Speaker 2: you're also seeing the greatest drop off because you're talking

421
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:08,439
Speaker 2: about a player who's top five at his position in

422
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:08,919
Speaker 2: the league.

423
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:12,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's there are not a bunch of Mattled Milano's

424
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:15,520
Speaker 1: around the league, let alone on your roster. I mean,

425
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:17,120
Speaker 1: he's a one of a kind guy and he has

426
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:19,240
Speaker 1: been since he stepped on the field. For him, and

427
00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:23,960
Speaker 1: they're gonna miss him. You knew they would. Bernard has

428
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:29,439
Speaker 1: stepped in and played really well for Tremaine Edmonds and

429
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:32,360
Speaker 1: we knew they and which was a great surprise. It was.

430
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:38,120
Speaker 1: It was a pleasant surprise anyway. And Milano, though, gave

431
00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 1: you that all pro in the middle that everybody could

432
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:41,719
Speaker 1: depend on. Plus he was making plays. I mean, this

433
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:44,119
Speaker 1: guy was having a season through the games he had

434
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:47,320
Speaker 1: played in so that's the production that you really miss.

435
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:50,840
Speaker 1: Now you got to kind of start over, not only

436
00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:55,560
Speaker 1: from training camp, but I mean goodness, Dorian Williams is

437
00:23:55,680 --> 00:24:00,600
Speaker 1: a young let alone inexperienced, so his head got to

438
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:03,360
Speaker 1: be swimming even when he's not at the facility getting it.

439
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:05,000
Speaker 2: Keeping his lights.

440
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:08,040
Speaker 1: I feel for him. That's a lot of pressure for

441
00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:10,320
Speaker 1: a young player. And certainly there's a lot of veterans

442
00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:13,639
Speaker 1: in that room who are sitting with him saying, Okay, hey,

443
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:16,080
Speaker 1: let's know you're doing, you know, helping him out, getting

444
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:21,359
Speaker 1: him in the right mindset, uh, letting him know, you know,

445
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:24,480
Speaker 1: when he's becoming undisciplined, how he can fight against it,

446
00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:26,720
Speaker 1: giving him reps that kind of thing. So he's everybody's

447
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:30,199
Speaker 1: pulling the same direction with him. But it's not like

448
00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 1: just lining up and running the football. You got you

449
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:36,800
Speaker 1: got to you've got responsibilities that are away from the

450
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:39,000
Speaker 1: football on some plays, and you've got to be disciplined

451
00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:42,520
Speaker 1: enough to stay with it. Yeah, you know, it's a

452
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:45,480
Speaker 1: couple of those explosives last week kind of looked like

453
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:49,840
Speaker 1: they were on him, and that's you know, that's that's

454
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:52,520
Speaker 1: what gets you sat down as a linebacker. And I

455
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:56,040
Speaker 1: think that's I think that's what happened. McDermot didn't say that,

456
00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:59,400
Speaker 1: or that's just me kind of guessing, but yeah, I'm

457
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:02,320
Speaker 1: I'm thinking, and that's what that that's how you get benched.

458
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:06,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, Patriots had six plays of twenty yards or more

459
00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:10,360
Speaker 2: in their first six games. They had five on Sunday.

460
00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:12,320
Speaker 4: Let's go to the phones.

461
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:15,120
Speaker 2: At eight oh three, five fifty eight, five fifty two,

462
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:17,119
Speaker 2: five fifty the numbers to get on board. Still have

463
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:20,119
Speaker 2: some open lines for you, but we're gonna lead off

464
00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:22,200
Speaker 2: with Dave in Cuba.

465
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:22,919
Speaker 4: What you got for us?

466
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:27,040
Speaker 5: Dave, Hey, guys, I see the poll that you put up.

467
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:31,320
Speaker 5: I think we should have had group five. The fifth

468
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:36,400
Speaker 5: group would be what fits? I mean, we have what's

469
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:38,879
Speaker 5: what is the best available, not what fits? What's the

470
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:39,920
Speaker 5: best available.

471
00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:44,840
Speaker 6: If a linebacker, you know, a brand name linebacker is available,

472
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:48,240
Speaker 6: then we grab him. If a brand name wide receiver

473
00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:51,000
Speaker 6: is available, and of course, again you can't sell the park,

474
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:55,520
Speaker 6: but I think if he's gonna make the move, he

475
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:57,199
Speaker 6: takes the best that's available.

476
00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:00,840
Speaker 2: Okay, So don't narrow it down to a position group necessarily.

477
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:03,240
Speaker 2: I get what you're saying, Dave. I can respect that,

478
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:08,000
Speaker 2: and look most gms would handle it that way. What

479
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:12,359
Speaker 2: do we have to acquire is the first question, what's available?

480
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:17,480
Speaker 2: And then from there you tear it well, ideally, this

481
00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:18,479
Speaker 2: is our best option.

482
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:20,320
Speaker 4: We'd love to have this guy. He can help us

483
00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:20,800
Speaker 4: the most.

484
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:22,920
Speaker 2: And then you go down to the next guy, and

485
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 2: the next guy and the next guy, and then assess

486
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:27,879
Speaker 2: what it would take to acquire those players. So I

487
00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:34,280
Speaker 2: get where you're coming from. Yeah, certainly, if there's a

488
00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:37,720
Speaker 2: greater pool to choose from at one of those positions

489
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:41,879
Speaker 2: than another, you know, you got a greater chance of

490
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:45,800
Speaker 2: landing that somebody at that position rather than Hey, really,

491
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 2: the only guy we like at linebackers this dude, and

492
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:49,240
Speaker 2: he's going to cost an arm in a leg. I

493
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:51,440
Speaker 2: don't think it's going to happen. You know that that

494
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:54,760
Speaker 2: kind of scenario can obviously come up between now and

495
00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:56,440
Speaker 2: November first, So.

496
00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:58,760
Speaker 1: I think it's I think it's a mistake to have

497
00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:04,560
Speaker 1: that mentality where best available, best available. What if it's

498
00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:08,520
Speaker 1: a guard, you know, and if you're gonna start narrowing

499
00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:10,200
Speaker 1: it down at all, we'll narrow it down to a

500
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:14,240
Speaker 1: guy who can help you right now. You're not gonna

501
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:16,520
Speaker 1: go out and say Okay, you're not. This isn't I

502
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:19,840
Speaker 1: mean where you go into a store and you you

503
00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:21,880
Speaker 1: don't want anything, and then you've got to you're trying

504
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:24,480
Speaker 1: to find something and it's you know, what are the

505
00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:26,320
Speaker 1: piece of junk or not it catches your eye. That's

506
00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:28,400
Speaker 1: not the way you want to do this. You got

507
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:31,440
Speaker 1: to have a target. You gotta you gotta say, listen,

508
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:34,000
Speaker 1: if we had this guy, he would make a difference.

509
00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:38,000
Speaker 1: And regardless when I get this, regardless of the of

510
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:41,159
Speaker 1: the position. But that's me and Brownie talking. It's not

511
00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:45,280
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott and Brandon Bean talking. Those guys will say listen,

512
00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:48,240
Speaker 1: if you can get that guy, that guy, or that

513
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:52,000
Speaker 1: guy or that guy, take the one, take anyone you

514
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:54,200
Speaker 1: can get. You're not gonna get all of them, even

515
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:56,760
Speaker 1: if you had the cap space. But if you can

516
00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:58,400
Speaker 1: get that guy, that guy, that guy, or that guy,

517
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:01,720
Speaker 1: and this is the order went this, this, this, the one, two, three, four,

518
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:04,919
Speaker 1: go get them. If we can't get those four guys

519
00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:09,320
Speaker 1: were done. Yeah, that you can't. I wasn't got specific

520
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:12,719
Speaker 1: names and players that you think would help you, and

521
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:13,840
Speaker 1: that's who you're targeting.

522
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:15,840
Speaker 2: And I wasn't when I was listening to Dave, I

523
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:19,240
Speaker 2: wasn't even entertaining positions where you don't need any help.

524
00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:22,480
Speaker 2: I guess that in my head didn't even compute based

525
00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:24,919
Speaker 2: on what you were saying, like you're not taking a guard. Yeah, no,

526
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:28,639
Speaker 2: I didn't even that didn't even enter my thought process.

527
00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:31,120
Speaker 2: I was thinking, Okay, if these positions we've got listed here,

528
00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:33,160
Speaker 2: you want to take the best guy available.

529
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:33,359
Speaker 4: I'll listen to that.

530
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:35,040
Speaker 1: Well he jumps off on the board and says, yeah,

531
00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:37,359
Speaker 1: he's gonna just kick the joy guy out there. Well, dude,

532
00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:39,120
Speaker 1: you're not gonna what are you gonna do? Go trade

533
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:44,320
Speaker 1: for Lamar Jackson? You know, I mean, uh, this is

534
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 1: you've got You've got to know what you're talking about,

535
00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:50,480
Speaker 1: and none of us do. We're not we're not pro

536
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:55,240
Speaker 1: personnel people. So you know, Brandon Bean and his guys

537
00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:58,440
Speaker 1: have have got short lists at every position of guys

538
00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:03,160
Speaker 1: that two things one are good enough to consider, two

539
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:06,479
Speaker 1: on the horizon, or even a dot or even a

540
00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:11,680
Speaker 1: whisper that they may be able to get them. That's it. Yeah,

541
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:16,480
Speaker 1: And then Sean comes in and Brandon goes because they've

542
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:18,920
Speaker 1: been having these conversations up to this point for the

543
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:22,600
Speaker 1: trade deadline, like we could get better. Say, for instance,

544
00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:24,480
Speaker 1: we could get better, a little bit better at corner.

545
00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:26,320
Speaker 1: I'd like to have a line I'd like to have

546
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:29,400
Speaker 1: a linebacker with some size. I'd like to have a

547
00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:35,560
Speaker 1: d tackle with some size and young or a veteran.

548
00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:37,520
Speaker 1: You know, it might be the opposite might be I said,

549
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:38,520
Speaker 1: give me a veteran guy.

550
00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:39,840
Speaker 2: Either one of those.

551
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:44,240
Speaker 1: They'll have specific qualifications and qualifiers they want for each

552
00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:46,480
Speaker 1: of those position groups. The corner's got to be at

553
00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:49,960
Speaker 1: least six ' one, you know, the linebacker's got away

554
00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:53,239
Speaker 1: at least two fifty, you know all that stuff. I mean,

555
00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:57,920
Speaker 1: they get really specific. This isn't like like rummage around

556
00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:02,640
Speaker 1: in the hamper and trying to find the least of socks. Right,

557
00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:04,240
Speaker 1: You're not trying to find the least dirty pair of

558
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:08,640
Speaker 1: socks to wear, right, You're you're looking for something very specific.

559
00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:14,240
Speaker 1: So that's the way it works, and that means the

560
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:20,360
Speaker 1: list is extremely short, extremely short at each of those positions.

561
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:22,560
Speaker 2: We got to take a break here, but when we

562
00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:24,880
Speaker 2: come back, Patrick in Rochester will lead us off as

563
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:26,320
Speaker 2: we take more of your phone calls.

564
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:28,040
Speaker 4: The bill's cleared.

565
00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:31,440
Speaker 2: Some cap space with the restructuring of Dion Dawkins contract

566
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:34,479
Speaker 2: according to reports. So if the Bills make a trade,

567

Speaker 2: three oh five point fifty one eighty eight five point

582
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:33,640
Speaker 2: fifty two five point fifty we saw the reports of

583
00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:35,840
Speaker 2: the Bills clearing up some cap space in the amount

584
00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:38,400
Speaker 2: of almost four million dollars with the restructure of Dion

585
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:43,200
Speaker 2: Dawkins contract. Could a trade be afoot before the deadline?

586
00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:46,320
Speaker 2: And if so, what position would you like to see addressed.

587
00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:49,120
Speaker 2: We go back to the phones, leading us off Patrick

588
00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:50,600
Speaker 2: in Rochester. What do you got Patrick?

589
00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:54,440
Speaker 7: Hey, guys, how you doing? Two quick things? One I

590
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:55,640
Speaker 7: wanted to start off this day.

591
00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:56,320
Speaker 2: I love the show.

592
00:31:56,360 --> 00:31:59,520
Speaker 7: I'm big fans of you guys and Steve. I grew

593
00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:01,680
Speaker 7: up a huge Bills fan. My dad was a season

594
00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:04,480
Speaker 7: ticket holder for twenty years. He made sure to let

595
00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:06,880
Speaker 7: me know who you are and to watch your highlights,

596
00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:09,920
Speaker 7: so I'm a huge fan of yours YouTube Brownie. My

597
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:12,240
Speaker 7: other point was, I listened to the show yesterday and

598
00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:14,800
Speaker 7: I heard you guys talk about the receivers and Gabe Davis.

599
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:17,800
Speaker 7: My question really is not about the trade so much,

600
00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:20,360
Speaker 7: because I'm up for whatever they do at this point,

601
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:24,600
Speaker 7: just to make something going or get anything going. But it's,

602
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:26,440
Speaker 7: you know, I seem to watch Gabe Davis and he

603
00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:29,000
Speaker 7: has big games and it's like he's going against the

604
00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:32,360
Speaker 7: number two corner, number three corner every game. And I

605
00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:34,640
Speaker 7: know he's skilled, but it's almost some games I question

606
00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:37,040
Speaker 7: if he's skilled to get open because it seems like

607
00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:41,080
Speaker 7: Josh is pretty much favor in Dalton Kincaid more now

608
00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:43,440
Speaker 7: and of course stuff gigs, but it just seems like

609
00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:45,640
Speaker 7: you know, like everybody else has been saying, they come

610
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:47,280
Speaker 7: out and they go to the same guys, they seem

611
00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:49,320
Speaker 7: a little flat here and there. So I just wanted

612
00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:51,440
Speaker 7: your guys thoughts on that. Do you guys have competent

613
00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:54,320
Speaker 7: in competence in Gabe Davis going the rest of the year.

614
00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:56,600
Speaker 7: If so, Uh, I'd love to hear you guys have.

615
00:32:56,520 --> 00:32:59,320
Speaker 2: To stay Thank you, thanks, Patrick, appreciate that games a

616
00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:01,760
Speaker 2: frustrating guy be a fan of, because you know, he'll

617
00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:03,600
Speaker 2: come out and have a four touchdown game, and they'll

618
00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:05,000
Speaker 2: come out and have a one catch.

619
00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:08,640
Speaker 1: And and four incompletion, you know, five targets games. His

620
00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:14,400
Speaker 1: career has been like that. It's been wildly inconsistent, and

621
00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:17,320
Speaker 1: that's that's the frustrating part of it. Now he sees

622
00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:20,920
Speaker 1: as many more snaps than Diggs does. He rarely comes

623
00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:24,440
Speaker 1: off the field offensively because he's a big, burly blocker.

624
00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:29,640
Speaker 1: That's also what one of the reasons he gets a

625
00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:33,720
Speaker 1: ton of snaps on offense because he's versatile in the

626
00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:37,320
Speaker 1: run game. But I think it's uh, Now, I do

627
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:40,640
Speaker 1: have confidence in him because we've seen it happen. But

628
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:45,480
Speaker 1: we've also seen dips in that roller coaster and that's

629
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:47,600
Speaker 1: hard to live through. And and in a game like

630
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:51,080
Speaker 1: the way the Bills lose games these days by those

631
00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:56,480
Speaker 1: single like the Jets game, the Jacksonville game, the Patriots game,

632
00:33:56,920 --> 00:33:59,120
Speaker 1: all and all the and the three of the regular

633
00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:02,160
Speaker 1: season losses LILT year. They're all single score games where

634
00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:04,760
Speaker 1: one catch or one play could have made the entire difference,

635
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:08,080
Speaker 1: and Gabe doesn't show up in those moments. That's the

636
00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:10,480
Speaker 1: frustrating part about it, because you always, you know Diggs

637
00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:12,279
Speaker 1: is going to get his share. He always does, and

638
00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:15,440
Speaker 1: nobody squawks like we didn't squawk this week when Diggs

639
00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:19,000
Speaker 1: had twelve targets only six receptions, because that's a little

640
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:21,399
Speaker 1: bit of an aberration as well. And a couple of those,

641
00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:23,479
Speaker 1: off the top of your head, you can take tag

642
00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:26,400
Speaker 1: a couple of those incompletions on Josh not Diggs, so

643
00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:30,680
Speaker 1: you know, it's not the same thing For Gabe. It

644
00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:37,440
Speaker 1: seems like long, long distances, long time periods between his contributions,

645
00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:38,319
Speaker 1: and that's hard to live with.

646
00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:40,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I mean, he seemed to be off to

647
00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:42,920
Speaker 2: a good start because he had touchdowns in four of

648
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:46,120
Speaker 2: his first five games, but then we have what we've

649
00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:49,120
Speaker 2: had the last two weeks not a lot of production.

650
00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:57,560
Speaker 2: So it Any coach would tell you that the number

651
00:34:57,600 --> 00:35:00,799
Speaker 2: one thing they want in a player is the ability

652
00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:04,239
Speaker 2: to trust them that they're going to execute their assignments,

653
00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:06,919
Speaker 2: they're not going to have mental errors, and that they're

654
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:11,840
Speaker 2: going to produce. And when you have this wide variance

655
00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:15,920
Speaker 2: in play, sometimes from one week to the next, it

656
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:18,839
Speaker 2: can be very unnerving for a coach. And that's why

657
00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:21,080
Speaker 2: you hear coaches say, hey, if we can just take

658
00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:24,680
Speaker 2: out all the troughs in your play, like you know,

659
00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:26,560
Speaker 2: just let's just say you have got a roller coaster

660
00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:28,960
Speaker 2: with peaks and valleys. We can just cut out the valleys.

661
00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:32,520
Speaker 2: Even if you're down from your peak performance, but you're

662
00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:33,879
Speaker 2: still producing for us.

663
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:35,319
Speaker 4: We can live with that.

664
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:39,680
Speaker 2: We just can't have your ghost in us in a

665
00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:42,919
Speaker 2: given game when we really need you playing the role

666
00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:46,080
Speaker 2: that you're playing. But Gave plays an important role. I

667
00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:47,879
Speaker 2: mean he's on the field all the time.

668
00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:50,360
Speaker 1: He's on the field more than Diggs is, so he's.

669
00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:52,719
Speaker 2: Got to get rid of that variance and the troughs

670
00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:55,759
Speaker 2: of his play more than anything else. Let's get back

671
00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:58,279
Speaker 2: to the phones and we go to Bob in Hamburg next,

672
00:35:58,320 --> 00:35:58,799
Speaker 2: what do you got.

673
00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:01,840
Speaker 8: For us, Bob, Hey, first of all, let's go after Arizona.

674
00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:05,640
Speaker 8: Buddha Baker. He doesn't want to play there. You could

675
00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:08,799
Speaker 8: probably sit him under a cap he And second of all,

676
00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:12,799
Speaker 8: I don't want to wash my clothes every week. I

677
00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:17,600
Speaker 8: want to wear the same clothes my superstition. Well, please

678
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:20,560
Speaker 8: win games and let me smell gamey bye.

679
00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:23,080
Speaker 2: All right, thanks, Bob, I appreciate that. Yeah, i'd have

680
00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:25,440
Speaker 2: to see. I don't know off the top of my

681
00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:31,239
Speaker 2: head Buddha Baker's contract. I know he's been unhappy there

682
00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:36,600
Speaker 2: in the past. I don't know where things stand right now.

683
00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:41,680
Speaker 2: They've actually played much better defense than I thought they

684
00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:45,440
Speaker 2: would under Jonathan Gannon down there, who obviously is the

685
00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:50,480
Speaker 2: former DC in Philly. I'm trying to look up his

686
00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:53,960
Speaker 2: cap number right now, and I've got it here. Let's see.

687
00:36:54,760 --> 00:36:56,960
Speaker 2: So he is in the final year of his contract

688
00:36:56,960 --> 00:37:01,160
Speaker 2: and his base salary's thirteen point one. That happening, Yeah,

689
00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:05,640
Speaker 2: even on a pro rated half season seven six and

690
00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:08,960
Speaker 2: a half. Yeah, that's a little too rich for the

691
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:11,919
Speaker 2: Bill's blood with the cap space they have to work with, unfortunately,

692
00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:15,560
Speaker 2: so probably not going to happen.

693
00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:17,920
Speaker 4: We go to Mark in North Carolina. Next, what do

694
00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:18,640
Speaker 4: you got for us? Mark?

695
00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:21,759
Speaker 9: Hey, guys, how you doing doing all right?

696
00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:22,480
Speaker 2: Hanging in there?

697
00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:28,200
Speaker 9: Yeah, I made it through yesterday with all the wagon

698
00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:31,600
Speaker 9: of tongues, you know. But I think adversity is a

699
00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:34,360
Speaker 9: great teacher, you know. So I'm pretty excited. Man, we

700
00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:35,600
Speaker 9: got a great team here.

701
00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:36,400
Speaker 8: You know.

702
00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:39,840
Speaker 9: I think the offense just needs like keep keep talking

703
00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:43,440
Speaker 9: like there's some mystery problem with the offenses. I think

704
00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:46,040
Speaker 9: it's a confidence thing, you know. I think it's just

705
00:37:46,080 --> 00:37:47,880
Speaker 9: a matter of you know, playing like they know how

706
00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:51,320
Speaker 9: to play. So yesterday I just when I was watched

707
00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:54,000
Speaker 9: listening to your guys show, I just thought, man, I'm

708
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:56,640
Speaker 9: gonna look at QB's stats for the first seven games

709
00:37:56,680 --> 00:38:00,440
Speaker 9: with alan the best quarterbacks you know, Josh Allen, Patrick

710
00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:03,160
Speaker 9: Mahomes to us. So I figured I'd picked those three.

711
00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:08,080
Speaker 9: In seven games, Josh Allen's had fifteen passing touchdowns. Mahomes

712
00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:12,359
Speaker 9: has had fifteen passing touchdowns. Two has had fifteen passing touchdowns.

713
00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:17,240
Speaker 9: Josh has had seven interceptions, Mahomes has had six interceptions.

714
00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:22,000
Speaker 9: Two has had six interceptions. Games without interceptions, Josh has

715
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:25,279
Speaker 9: had two, Mahomes has had two. Tua has had two

716
00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:28,399
Speaker 9: so I'm like thinking about it, like, man, we got

717
00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:31,560
Speaker 9: a great quarterback, you know, I would like to see

718
00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:33,800
Speaker 9: it run some more. I think he really gives juice

719
00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:36,040
Speaker 9: to the offense when he takes off and gets that.

720
00:38:36,719 --> 00:38:38,880
Speaker 9: You know, it's second and nine and he gets eleven

721
00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:40,040
Speaker 9: yards and a first down.

722
00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:40,319
Speaker 2: You know.

723
00:38:41,239 --> 00:38:44,600
Speaker 9: But and then I thought about points in the losses

724
00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:48,000
Speaker 9: and points in the wins. I mean, when we won

725
00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:50,359
Speaker 9: the four games we won, we won by twenty eight,

726
00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:53,920
Speaker 9: by thirty four, by twenty eight, and by five against

727
00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:57,680
Speaker 9: the Giants. And the losses we lost to the Jets

728
00:38:57,680 --> 00:38:59,839
Speaker 9: by six, to the Jags by five in the pass

729
00:38:59,840 --> 00:39:04,879
Speaker 9: by so one touchdown in any of those games, one

730
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:07,200
Speaker 9: more touchdown we win. We could be seven and zero

731
00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:10,360
Speaker 9: if we got three more touchdowns. Basically, you know what

732
00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:10,840
Speaker 9: I'm saying.

733
00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:13,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, I get where you're coming from. Mark, And look,

734
00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:17,319
Speaker 2: we've even said it on the show. I mean, they

735
00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:22,000
Speaker 2: lose that Jacksonville game. Josh played a good game against

736
00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:25,959
Speaker 2: Jacksonville in London. I mean, go look at his stat line,

737
00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:27,360
Speaker 2: go look at the play by play sheets.

738
00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:29,800
Speaker 4: He did not play poorly in that game at all.

739
00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:31,520
Speaker 4: They lose the game.

740
00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:34,839
Speaker 2: And as you know, we often see quarterbacks get too

741
00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:37,040
Speaker 2: much of the credit and definitely too much of the blame.

742
00:39:38,120 --> 00:39:41,960
Speaker 2: Did not play a poor game, and even last week.

743
00:39:42,280 --> 00:39:44,680
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, the pick on the first play is awful,

744
00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:49,840
Speaker 2: but I didn't think he played poorly there either. His

745
00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:52,040
Speaker 2: biggest mistakes were the pick on the first play and

746
00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:54,719
Speaker 2: missing Diggs on the deep shot. I mean, those are

747
00:39:54,719 --> 00:39:59,640
Speaker 2: probably the two worst things that he did. Josh is

748
00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:02,480
Speaker 2: not the issue, at least as far as I'm concerned.

749
00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:09,960
Speaker 2: So you know, what you're talking about are inconsistencies within

750
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:14,600
Speaker 2: the framework of the offense from an execution perspective, whether

751
00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:17,240
Speaker 2: you're talking about guys not coming up with the football,

752
00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:20,560
Speaker 2: a mental error where you have a miscommunication, a pre

753
00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:22,839
Speaker 2: snap error where you have a false start because they

754
00:40:22,880 --> 00:40:26,080
Speaker 2: jump on Josh's hard count. There are all these things

755
00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:30,719
Speaker 2: where they are shooting themselves in the foot from an

756
00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:34,120
Speaker 2: execution standpoint. And then if you want to talk about

757
00:40:34,239 --> 00:40:38,920
Speaker 2: identity of the offense, I'll listen to that, because I

758
00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:42,080
Speaker 2: still feel like they're trying to find out just exactly

759
00:40:42,120 --> 00:40:46,000
Speaker 2: what they are. What are they on offense, because they're

760
00:40:46,040 --> 00:40:48,120
Speaker 2: certainly not to throw it all over the yard team

761
00:40:48,160 --> 00:40:50,719
Speaker 2: that they had been the previous two years. They throw it,

762
00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:54,600
Speaker 2: but I don't think with nearly the frequency that they

763
00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:56,520
Speaker 2: that they used to. They still throw a lot on

764
00:40:56,560 --> 00:40:59,120
Speaker 2: first down, which is good. That's a good thing. They

765
00:40:59,120 --> 00:41:01,279
Speaker 2: convert a lot on th down, that's a good thing.

766
00:41:01,600 --> 00:41:04,000
Speaker 2: But they don't look the same. And I wonder if

767
00:41:04,040 --> 00:41:06,600
Speaker 2: they're still searching for their identity here and we're at

768
00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:07,200
Speaker 2: mid season.

769
00:41:07,360 --> 00:41:10,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, they've at times struggled with penalties, They've at times

770
00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:14,719
Speaker 1: struggled with a second down. They see a lot of

771
00:41:14,760 --> 00:41:16,920
Speaker 1: third downs, and it's a good thing that they can

772
00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:20,320
Speaker 1: convert them. They have not looked as good on fourth downs,

773
00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:24,320
Speaker 1: notwithstanding the last fourth down that Knocks dropped with his

774
00:41:24,440 --> 00:41:29,440
Speaker 1: bad wrist, and they have really what you really notice

775
00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:33,839
Speaker 1: is they lack that explosive big play. And there's two

776
00:41:33,880 --> 00:41:39,480
Speaker 1: things they lack that explosive big play. And Josh doesn't run. Yep,

777
00:41:40,360 --> 00:41:43,279
Speaker 1: he does not run up behind those defensive backs. I

778
00:41:43,280 --> 00:41:47,840
Speaker 1: saw you know whoever it was. Everybody's got the ability

779
00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:50,360
Speaker 1: to put out videos. Now, they put out a video

780
00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:52,400
Speaker 1: of Josh and it was a two minute and twenty

781
00:41:52,400 --> 00:41:55,160
Speaker 1: two and a half minute video of Josh's big runs

782
00:41:55,160 --> 00:41:57,120
Speaker 1: over the last couple of years. And there's a ton

783
00:41:57,200 --> 00:42:00,279
Speaker 1: of them, and I've forgotten a lot of them. But

784
00:42:00,360 --> 00:42:03,040
Speaker 1: he's snapping off thirty five yard twenty five yard runs,

785
00:42:03,080 --> 00:42:08,680
Speaker 1: forty yard runs all the time, and he has just

786
00:42:08,760 --> 00:42:12,160
Speaker 1: not done that. And certainly it's really frustrating for fans

787
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:15,080
Speaker 1: when Josh has got nobody in front of him on

788
00:42:15,120 --> 00:42:17,320
Speaker 1: a third and six, he could have run for fifteen

789
00:42:17,840 --> 00:42:20,160
Speaker 1: tries to throw it and it's incomplete.

790
00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:22,960
Speaker 2: Well, and we talked about it yesterday, you know, is

791
00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:25,760
Speaker 2: it time to take the bridle off? Knowing this offense

792
00:42:25,840 --> 00:42:27,400
Speaker 2: is gonna probably have to do a little bit more

793
00:42:28,040 --> 00:42:30,520
Speaker 2: until the defense can find some kind of solid footing.

794
00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:34,600
Speaker 2: You may have to let Josh run a little bit more,

795
00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:36,400
Speaker 2: because it's clear it's been drilled into him to not

796
00:42:36,600 --> 00:42:39,719
Speaker 2: run based on some of the decisions we've seen him make.

797
00:42:40,040 --> 00:42:42,440
Speaker 2: Rolling out on a bootleg, open field in front of

798
00:42:42,520 --> 00:42:44,719
Speaker 2: him and he's still looking downfield to try to make

799
00:42:44,719 --> 00:42:47,160
Speaker 2: a throw to somebody on an unscripted play, you know,

800
00:42:47,239 --> 00:42:50,480
Speaker 2: off schedule, instead of there's eight yards for you get

801
00:42:50,560 --> 00:42:53,239
Speaker 2: go get the first down. In years past, he's going

802
00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:55,359
Speaker 2: to get the first down with his legs right, and

803
00:42:55,400 --> 00:42:57,680
Speaker 2: now he's he's holding the ball looking to throw it

804
00:42:57,719 --> 00:42:59,160
Speaker 2: downfield instead.

805
00:42:59,120 --> 00:43:04,520
Speaker 1: And I think in todayl I mean, you can run

806
00:43:04,760 --> 00:43:07,320
Speaker 1: and not take hits. And I think that's got to

807
00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:13,279
Speaker 1: be the focus for Josh right now. Don't run. I

808
00:43:13,280 --> 00:43:14,960
Speaker 1: think it's just got to be don't get hit. And

809
00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:16,680
Speaker 1: I don't think go ahead and run, but don't get hit.

810
00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:18,160
Speaker 1: And we can do that today.

811
00:43:18,200 --> 00:43:20,680
Speaker 2: And I think a byproduct of that has been opposing

812
00:43:20,719 --> 00:43:23,680
Speaker 2: defenses now through seven games have not seen Josh run

813
00:43:23,719 --> 00:43:25,440
Speaker 2: nearly as much as he has in the past, and

814
00:43:25,480 --> 00:43:27,600
Speaker 2: they're like, well, we probably don't have to worry about

815
00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:30,120
Speaker 2: that as much anymore now we can commit another person to.

816
00:43:30,080 --> 00:43:31,640
Speaker 4: The coverage or what have you.

817
00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:35,840
Speaker 2: So it has changed not only Buffalo's offense, but the

818
00:43:35,880 --> 00:43:39,560
Speaker 2: way defenses have played the Bill's offense. We got to

819
00:43:39,600 --> 00:43:42,120
Speaker 2: take a break here, Jim and Florida and Patrick in

820
00:43:42,160 --> 00:43:44,319
Speaker 2: Pennsylvania will lead us off when we come back. More

821
00:43:44,320 --> 00:43:46,440
Speaker 2: of your phone calls here on one Bill's Live Stay tuned.

824
00:44:10,239 --> 00:44:12,360
Speaker 2: Back to the phones into Jim and Florida, Nex, what

825
00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:12,880
Speaker 2: do you got for us?

826
00:44:12,960 --> 00:44:21,759
Speaker 3: Jim, I would like to say that we We've got

827
00:44:21,960 --> 00:44:25,680
Speaker 3: some two really exciting stats that I think we need

828
00:44:25,719 --> 00:44:28,759
Speaker 3: to look at. One was the one you mentioned yesterday

829
00:44:29,200 --> 00:44:34,040
Speaker 3: that Josh was sixteen for sixteen winn he threw two

830
00:44:34,160 --> 00:44:38,680
Speaker 3: point five seconds or less. That's amazing. And second stat

831
00:44:38,719 --> 00:44:43,560
Speaker 3: that I heard about this morning was that in twenty

832
00:44:43,600 --> 00:44:52,600
Speaker 3: twenty one, we we ran the ball less excuse me, yes,

833
00:44:52,719 --> 00:44:56,560
Speaker 3: less sixty five percent of the time we passed on

834
00:44:56,680 --> 00:45:00,400
Speaker 3: first or second down, and this year we're passed on

835
00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:06,120
Speaker 3: first and second down on fifty three percent. So those

836
00:45:06,120 --> 00:45:09,759
Speaker 3: are two really interesting stats. And the last thing would

837
00:45:09,800 --> 00:45:13,560
Speaker 3: be your interest in who we need. I think the

838
00:45:13,600 --> 00:45:16,000
Speaker 3: reason we can't stop the run very well right now

839
00:45:16,120 --> 00:45:19,600
Speaker 3: is because we don't have Milano, and I think what

840
00:45:19,719 --> 00:45:22,399
Speaker 3: we really need to do is find somebody that could

841
00:45:22,440 --> 00:45:25,439
Speaker 3: help us there, because we need to stop the run

842
00:45:25,480 --> 00:45:26,600
Speaker 3: better than we are right now.

843
00:45:27,480 --> 00:45:30,680
Speaker 2: Yeah. I don't think there's any disagreement with that, Jim.

844
00:45:30,800 --> 00:45:35,360
Speaker 2: And as we said earlier, you know, trying to replace

845
00:45:35,440 --> 00:45:37,759
Speaker 2: a top five player at his position in the entire

846
00:45:37,840 --> 00:45:43,320
Speaker 2: league is not easy because those guys just aren't readily

847
00:45:43,320 --> 00:45:46,600
Speaker 2: available that perform at that level, and so when you

848
00:45:46,640 --> 00:45:50,640
Speaker 2: lose a player of that caliber, it hurts and we're

849
00:45:50,680 --> 00:45:53,920
Speaker 2: watching it happen in front of us every week on

850
00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:57,200
Speaker 2: Buffalo's defense, and they've got to find a way to

851
00:45:57,239 --> 00:46:00,400
Speaker 2: shore it up and make it better. You got to

852
00:46:00,400 --> 00:46:03,640
Speaker 2: play more base defense with three linebackers on the field.

853
00:46:04,640 --> 00:46:04,880
Speaker 2: You know.

854
00:46:04,960 --> 00:46:05,680
Speaker 4: I'm not the coach.

855
00:46:05,719 --> 00:46:08,160
Speaker 2: I don't know what the answers are, but they've got

856
00:46:08,160 --> 00:46:11,439
Speaker 2: to come up with some solutions here going forward, knowing

857
00:46:11,480 --> 00:46:15,080
Speaker 2: that that guy's not coming back anytime soon. So that's

858
00:46:15,080 --> 00:46:18,040
Speaker 2: the issue at hand here. And as for throwing on

859
00:46:18,120 --> 00:46:20,719
Speaker 2: first down, yeah, they did a lot in twenty twenty one,

860
00:46:20,760 --> 00:46:22,919
Speaker 2: they did a lot last year. They have done less

861
00:46:22,920 --> 00:46:26,800
Speaker 2: of it this year. Not grossly less, but noticeably less.

862
00:46:27,400 --> 00:46:31,800
Speaker 2: And does it take away the explosive nature of this offense?

863
00:46:31,920 --> 00:46:34,640
Speaker 2: I think it's debatable. I don't know if it's accurate,

864
00:46:34,719 --> 00:46:35,680
Speaker 2: but you can debate it.

865
00:46:35,760 --> 00:46:38,040
Speaker 1: You can. Yeah, there's people who will tell you both

866
00:46:38,080 --> 00:46:38,480
Speaker 1: sides of it.

867
00:46:38,480 --> 00:46:40,120
Speaker 2: I mean, not for nothing, this team is still the

868
00:46:40,120 --> 00:46:42,160
Speaker 2: third highest scoring team in football at more than twenty

869
00:46:42,200 --> 00:46:44,760
Speaker 2: eight points a game, the only team scoring more points

870
00:46:44,760 --> 00:46:48,160
Speaker 2: than them or Miami and sanfran So just let's not

871
00:46:48,200 --> 00:46:49,839
Speaker 2: forget that, right.

872
00:46:49,880 --> 00:46:56,520
Speaker 1: So Yeah, and it's no question though they've struggled in

873
00:46:57,560 --> 00:46:59,920
Speaker 1: for their seven games this year. They managed to win

874
00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:03,480
Speaker 1: the Giants game ugly, but on the scoreboard they've struggled,

875
00:47:03,520 --> 00:47:09,799
Speaker 1: and all except the Raiders Washington and the Miami game offensively,

876
00:47:09,840 --> 00:47:14,400
Speaker 1: they've been I don't know what even call it. It's

877
00:47:14,400 --> 00:47:15,600
Speaker 1: hard to get it. They couldnt get out of their

878
00:47:15,600 --> 00:47:17,520
Speaker 1: own way, They couldn't move the football effective, he couldn't

879
00:47:17,520 --> 00:47:19,680
Speaker 1: get in the end zone. So it looked like it

880
00:47:19,760 --> 00:47:21,680
Speaker 1: was like at the end of last year, a heavy

881
00:47:21,760 --> 00:47:26,759
Speaker 1: lift man the heavy lift, and we've all tried to

882
00:47:26,760 --> 00:47:31,440
Speaker 1: come up with ways to fix it. Right, the only

883
00:47:31,440 --> 00:47:32,960
Speaker 1: people you should trust to fix it are the ones

884
00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:37,040
Speaker 1: that are actually working on it. So we'll wait and see. Certainly,

885
00:47:37,440 --> 00:47:40,959
Speaker 1: the Patriots presented some unique problems that other defenses don't.

886
00:47:41,760 --> 00:47:44,080
Speaker 1: They're in their scheme. I mean, they sent pressure after

887
00:47:44,160 --> 00:47:47,120
Speaker 1: Josh a lot, which has been a big taboo for

888
00:47:47,200 --> 00:47:52,040
Speaker 1: most defenses because Josh has been really good against the blitz.

889
00:47:52,320 --> 00:47:53,960
Speaker 2: He had some answers on Sunday.

890
00:47:54,040 --> 00:47:56,399
Speaker 1: He did have some answers on Sunday, but not enough.

891
00:47:56,800 --> 00:47:59,439
Speaker 2: One touchdown got nullified on an all out blitz due

892
00:47:59,440 --> 00:48:02,560
Speaker 2: to penalty. Yeah, and that's an example of what is

893
00:48:02,600 --> 00:48:06,160
Speaker 2: plaguing this offense. They got the right read, the quarterback

894
00:48:06,200 --> 00:48:08,520
Speaker 2: made the right play and it gets wiped off the

895
00:48:08,520 --> 00:48:11,840
Speaker 2: board because of a penalty. So and a borderline penalty

896
00:48:11,880 --> 00:48:13,680
Speaker 2: at that by the way, because that was the rubb

897
00:48:13,760 --> 00:48:16,359
Speaker 2: route called on Murray and he barely touched the guy.

898
00:48:16,760 --> 00:48:20,400
Speaker 2: But whatever, let's go to Patrick here in PA. What

899
00:48:20,440 --> 00:48:21,400
Speaker 2: do you got for as Patrick?

900
00:48:22,640 --> 00:48:27,080
Speaker 10: Hey, guys, I just wanted to say the lack of

901
00:48:27,120 --> 00:48:31,400
Speaker 10: a second option is glaring. Dave Davis simply is a

902
00:48:31,440 --> 00:48:33,720
Speaker 10: third or fourth wide receiver at best in this league.

903
00:48:34,239 --> 00:48:37,960
Speaker 10: He's limited route runner. He doesn't get separation. He's a

904
00:48:38,000 --> 00:48:41,560
Speaker 10: go route, post route, deep shot kind of receiver. I

905
00:48:41,640 --> 00:48:45,000
Speaker 10: understand he can block well, they need him for that.

906
00:48:45,160 --> 00:48:48,959
Speaker 10: But the option for a second option on this team,

907
00:48:49,040 --> 00:48:52,239
Speaker 10: I don't think it's on the roster currently and the

908
00:48:52,280 --> 00:48:55,160
Speaker 10: cap options limited. As far as what we can do

909
00:48:55,239 --> 00:48:59,200
Speaker 10: trade wise, the only savior I think that this team

910
00:48:59,239 --> 00:49:01,960
Speaker 10: maybe has is leaning into Cook out of the slot more,

911
00:49:02,080 --> 00:49:06,719
Speaker 10: or the backfield more. Maybe Kinkaid out of the slot more. Uh,

912
00:49:07,000 --> 00:49:09,560
Speaker 10: you know, pepper them guys with targets. But as far

913
00:49:09,560 --> 00:49:12,879
Speaker 10: as the receiving corps, the options simply aren't. Aren't there

914
00:49:12,960 --> 00:49:17,759
Speaker 10: Other than dig and uh, I think the defense, you know,

915
00:49:17,840 --> 00:49:20,480
Speaker 10: you get gone off the snap count. Uh, you know,

916
00:49:20,800 --> 00:49:24,360
Speaker 10: you get Oliver healthy. We're so healthy. I think we

917
00:49:24,440 --> 00:49:29,120
Speaker 10: can generate a pass rush and uh, you know, help

918
00:49:29,160 --> 00:49:31,839
Speaker 10: our secondary out a little bit. But Uh, as far

919
00:49:31,880 --> 00:49:34,680
Speaker 10: as the lack of a second option, I think this

920
00:49:34,920 --> 00:49:37,799
Speaker 10: offense is really in trouble. Uh unless they lean on

921
00:49:37,880 --> 00:49:42,200
Speaker 10: Cook or uh Kinkaid a lot more. And uh, part

922
00:49:42,200 --> 00:49:43,880
Speaker 10: of it might be dorsy a little bit. You know,

923
00:49:44,200 --> 00:49:46,040
Speaker 10: we don't see a lot of guys schemed wide open

924
00:49:46,280 --> 00:49:47,640
Speaker 10: like you do on a lot of other teams in

925
00:49:47,680 --> 00:49:49,840
Speaker 10: the league. But that also leads the guys not getting

926
00:49:49,840 --> 00:49:52,600
Speaker 10: separation enough either. So Uh, I'd just like to hear

927
00:49:52,640 --> 00:49:54,919
Speaker 10: your thoughts, and uh, I appreciate you taking my time.

928
00:49:55,000 --> 00:49:57,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, Patrick, you're pretty much saying what I was saying yesterday.

929
00:49:58,640 --> 00:50:01,279
Speaker 2: Going forward, your most dynamic players on offense in the

930
00:50:01,320 --> 00:50:05,720
Speaker 2: passing game are Stefan Diggs, Dalton Kincaid, and James Cook.

931
00:50:06,120 --> 00:50:09,000
Speaker 2: Kinkaid should get ten to twelve targets a game. Cook

932
00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:11,120
Speaker 2: should get five to seven targets in the passing game

933
00:50:11,160 --> 00:50:13,720
Speaker 2: every week, and Diggs gets what he usually gets.

934
00:50:14,360 --> 00:50:15,640
Speaker 4: That's how you got to go forward.

935
00:50:15,640 --> 00:50:19,160
Speaker 2: They're the most dynamic players, they're the most sure handed players.

936
00:50:19,680 --> 00:50:22,440
Speaker 2: And if you want to sprinkle in Shakir and Sherfield

937
00:50:22,520 --> 00:50:25,239
Speaker 2: and Hardy as role players, I'll listen to that. You know,

938
00:50:25,560 --> 00:50:27,920
Speaker 2: I still don't think we've tapped into what Sherfield is

939
00:50:27,960 --> 00:50:29,759
Speaker 2: capable of in this offense. So I would like to

940
00:50:29,760 --> 00:50:33,000
Speaker 2: see that explored as well. Why don't you handle defense,

941
00:50:33,040 --> 00:50:35,600
Speaker 2: because the problem with the pass rush, Steve is it's

942
00:50:35,640 --> 00:50:37,480
Speaker 2: not going to be productive for you if you can't

943
00:50:37,480 --> 00:50:40,239
Speaker 2: stop the run. It caused long down and distant situations.

944
00:50:40,280 --> 00:50:41,239
Speaker 2: That's what happened last week.

945
00:50:41,280 --> 00:50:43,520
Speaker 1: Ye if you can't stop the run, you're in trouble.

946
00:50:43,680 --> 00:50:46,080
Speaker 1: Or if your offense isn't up by double digits, you're

947
00:50:46,120 --> 00:50:49,239
Speaker 1: in trouble. So both those things are working against the

948
00:50:49,280 --> 00:50:51,560
Speaker 1: Bills right now because they are struggling to stop the running.

949
00:50:51,600 --> 00:50:53,759
Speaker 1: Teams are keeping the run game involved, because the game

950
00:50:53,840 --> 00:50:57,520
Speaker 1: is close, because the offense they aren't down by three

951
00:50:57,560 --> 00:51:00,759
Speaker 1: scores or two scores in the second half. Pass rush

952
00:51:00,840 --> 00:51:03,200
Speaker 1: can't close games out when they're not rushing the passer.

953
00:51:04,560 --> 00:51:07,000
Speaker 1: And obviously the health of the D line has been

954
00:51:07,040 --> 00:51:08,840
Speaker 1: a problem as well of late. So we'll see if

955
00:51:09,320 --> 00:51:12,040
Speaker 1: if von Miller gets healthy, if that Oliver gets back

956
00:51:12,239 --> 00:51:16,879
Speaker 1: in the lineup and gets healthy, if Phillips can get

957
00:51:16,880 --> 00:51:21,960
Speaker 1: his back, Jordan Phillips can get his back fixed. If

958
00:51:22,000 --> 00:51:24,319
Speaker 1: Tim Suttle comes in and starts playing better, Poona Ford

959
00:51:24,400 --> 00:51:26,160
Speaker 1: starts being the kind of guy we thought he would be,

960
00:51:26,840 --> 00:51:29,000
Speaker 1: then you're gonna get the pass rush will start to

961
00:51:29,040 --> 00:51:33,880
Speaker 1: emerge again. But due to injuries and the scoreboard, teams

962
00:51:33,920 --> 00:51:36,880
Speaker 1: aren't under any pressure to air it out and.

963
00:51:36,440 --> 00:51:38,280
Speaker 2: And a substandard run defense lately.

964
00:51:38,520 --> 00:51:42,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's right. And also we have haven't faced

965
00:51:42,040 --> 00:51:48,279
Speaker 1: any any team with any kind of I mean, with

966
00:51:48,400 --> 00:51:54,759
Speaker 1: the exception of Tua, you haven't faced a quarterback that's

967
00:51:54,760 --> 00:51:57,040
Speaker 1: making you scared that there any team is gonna.

968
00:51:56,800 --> 00:51:59,040
Speaker 2: Lean on maybe Trevor Lawrence, but yeah.

969
00:51:59,000 --> 00:52:02,200
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence. Yeesh, Yeah, that's true. Trevor Lawrence and Tua.

970
00:52:02,640 --> 00:52:06,359
Speaker 1: But Washington Commanders and Raiders and those guys are that's

971
00:52:06,400 --> 00:52:08,759
Speaker 1: gonna change on their They're not gonna they're not. Those

972
00:52:08,800 --> 00:52:13,439
Speaker 1: teams aren't leaning on their quarterbacks. So you may get

973
00:52:13,520 --> 00:52:15,439
Speaker 1: actually a break. If you get a team that wants

974
00:52:15,440 --> 00:52:17,360
Speaker 1: their quarterback to throw it because he's their best player,

975
00:52:18,320 --> 00:52:19,960
Speaker 1: you might they might throw it a little more than

976
00:52:20,000 --> 00:52:24,799
Speaker 1: they run in neutral situations. But until that happens, you

977
00:52:24,840 --> 00:52:29,280
Speaker 1: know you're playing against you know, Tyrod and Mac Jones.

978
00:52:30,160 --> 00:52:32,719
Speaker 1: You're they're gonna they're gonna lean on the run.

979
00:52:32,800 --> 00:52:34,560
Speaker 4: Game break time for us.

980

994
00:53:59,760 --> 00:54:03,319
Speaker 2: Dan on your NFL Live show with your cohorts there,

995
00:54:03,440 --> 00:54:07,040
Speaker 2: and you kind of outlined how Josh, for whatever reason,

996
00:54:07,160 --> 00:54:10,719
Speaker 2: in the red zone when facing pressure, wasn't going to

997
00:54:10,760 --> 00:54:12,960
Speaker 2: his hot routes. And we know that Josh has a

998
00:54:13,080 --> 00:54:16,759
Speaker 2: very high football IQ. Can you put your finger on

999
00:54:17,040 --> 00:54:19,960
Speaker 2: why it did not happen on Sunday?

1000
00:54:22,160 --> 00:54:24,759
Speaker 11: I cannot. And the interesting thing is there's two or

1001
00:54:24,800 --> 00:54:26,960
Speaker 11: three clips in the game where he does throw hot

1002
00:54:27,120 --> 00:54:29,560
Speaker 11: that just doesn't happen to be in the red zone.

1003
00:54:29,960 --> 00:54:31,440
Speaker 11: You know, that was kind of in the middle of

1004
00:54:31,440 --> 00:54:33,759
Speaker 11: the field play, and then in the red zone it

1005
00:54:33,840 --> 00:54:37,000
Speaker 11: specifically showed up on three different occasions that kind of

1006
00:54:37,040 --> 00:54:40,520
Speaker 11: get take points off the board potentially, you know, and

1007
00:54:40,880 --> 00:54:42,759
Speaker 11: force field goals and field goal attempts.

1008
00:54:43,080 --> 00:54:43,319
Speaker 12: You know.

1009
00:54:43,400 --> 00:54:47,680
Speaker 11: It's it's interesting because when a player, I remember when

1010
00:54:47,760 --> 00:54:51,120
Speaker 11: Josh was coming out me pointing to that, I remember

1011
00:54:51,160 --> 00:54:55,200
Speaker 11: the breakdown vividly, and I actually like talked to Josh

1012
00:54:55,239 --> 00:54:58,680
Speaker 11: about that thing this past summer went together, and then

1013
00:54:59,160 --> 00:55:01,680
Speaker 11: really over the last couple of years, he's kind of

1014
00:55:01,680 --> 00:55:04,120
Speaker 11: gotten away from that, like he's been really I remember

1015
00:55:04,120 --> 00:55:06,840
Speaker 11: the Miami game this year, he was really good against

1016
00:55:06,840 --> 00:55:11,120
Speaker 11: Miami's fire zone pressures. And then there are moments that Josh,

1017
00:55:11,719 --> 00:55:15,600
Speaker 11: I think knows that blitzes are coming and decides I'm

1018
00:55:15,640 --> 00:55:17,799
Speaker 11: gonna I'm like, I'll be the hot route. Like I'm

1019
00:55:17,800 --> 00:55:20,440
Speaker 11: not going to throw the hot route. I'll I'll go

1020
00:55:20,520 --> 00:55:23,960
Speaker 11: make a play, and it works and good things happen.

1021
00:55:24,040 --> 00:55:26,360
Speaker 11: You sit there and be like, oh, well, you know,

1022
00:55:26,400 --> 00:55:30,480
Speaker 11: it almost covers it up and eventually, you know, like eventually,

1023
00:55:30,520 --> 00:55:33,759
Speaker 11: it's one of those things. For Josh, it's live on

1024
00:55:34,360 --> 00:55:38,839
Speaker 11: the edge type because at moments he makes guys missed

1025
00:55:38,880 --> 00:55:40,200
Speaker 11: and he makes a big play and then all of

1026
00:55:40,200 --> 00:55:42,560
Speaker 11: a sudden all things are good, and then moments, you know,

1027
00:55:42,640 --> 00:55:46,200
Speaker 11: repetitively it shows up against maybe division opponents or teams

1028
00:55:46,200 --> 00:55:49,960
Speaker 11: that are very well coached to pressure and not give

1029
00:55:50,040 --> 00:55:52,399
Speaker 11: him the opportunity to make some of those plays. We're

1030
00:55:52,400 --> 00:55:55,880
Speaker 11: evading guys. So I don't know necessarily why it showed

1031
00:55:55,920 --> 00:55:59,080
Speaker 11: up in the red zone. It's it's interesting to see

1032
00:55:59,120 --> 00:56:01,319
Speaker 11: and look at guys and then not throw it. And

1033
00:56:01,360 --> 00:56:03,960
Speaker 11: so I don't know if it's I mean, it could

1034
00:56:04,000 --> 00:56:07,319
Speaker 11: be a multitude of options, And these are assumptions by me. One,

1035
00:56:07,400 --> 00:56:10,760
Speaker 11: he's just he's he's decided to go make a play. Two,

1036
00:56:10,920 --> 00:56:13,839
Speaker 11: he doesn't know he's hot. He's surprised by it three.

1037
00:56:13,880 --> 00:56:16,000
Speaker 11: He doesn't trust that the hot route runner is going

1038
00:56:16,080 --> 00:56:18,480
Speaker 11: to be there and and and make a play on

1039
00:56:18,520 --> 00:56:21,320
Speaker 11: the ball, so he thinks I'll go do something. So uh,

1040
00:56:21,400 --> 00:56:23,640
Speaker 11: it's it's assumption on my end to know why he

1041
00:56:23,680 --> 00:56:25,719
Speaker 11: didn't do it. I just know that he didn't do

1042
00:56:25,760 --> 00:56:28,200
Speaker 11: it in those moments, and you know, it hurt their

1043
00:56:28,239 --> 00:56:30,040
Speaker 11: It hurt their offense, it hurt their performance.

1044
00:56:30,160 --> 00:56:32,600
Speaker 1: So we've been taking calls all week Dan about you know,

1045
00:56:32,640 --> 00:56:35,160
Speaker 1: the offense and getting off the slow starts. Certainly in

1046
00:56:35,160 --> 00:56:37,320
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter against the Giants and last week against

1047
00:56:37,360 --> 00:56:39,680
Speaker 1: the Patriots, they kind of came to life, put together

1048
00:56:39,719 --> 00:56:42,240
Speaker 1: a nice sustained drive and covered a lot of ground.

1049
00:56:42,960 --> 00:56:46,200
Speaker 1: And everybody's trying to figure out how to get the

1050
00:56:46,239 --> 00:56:51,160
Speaker 1: offense to do that earlier and it you can give

1051
00:56:51,239 --> 00:56:53,040
Speaker 1: us some ideas perhaps, I mean a lot of people

1052
00:56:53,080 --> 00:56:55,759
Speaker 1: say let's go no huddle, spread it out, throw it down,

1053
00:56:55,760 --> 00:56:59,279
Speaker 1: and have some go fast paced, get some success. And

1054
00:56:59,320 --> 00:57:02,120
Speaker 1: I think one of the things is, and if you

1055
00:57:02,160 --> 00:57:04,600
Speaker 1: go fast paced, you risk coming off the field fast,

1056
00:57:04,920 --> 00:57:06,840
Speaker 1: just like throwing an interception on the first play of

1057
00:57:06,840 --> 00:57:10,600
Speaker 1: the game, like Josh did last week. But there is

1058
00:57:10,640 --> 00:57:14,399
Speaker 1: something to be said for early success offensively and having

1059
00:57:14,480 --> 00:57:16,720
Speaker 1: it lead to better things later in the game.

1060
00:57:17,920 --> 00:57:18,360
Speaker 13: Totally.

1061
00:57:18,520 --> 00:57:22,320
Speaker 11: Yeah, that first interception he throws was head scratching as well.

1062
00:57:23,640 --> 00:57:24,600
Speaker 1: You know, I.

1063
00:57:24,520 --> 00:57:27,840
Speaker 11: Think to get them to play a little bit more

1064
00:57:27,880 --> 00:57:31,920
Speaker 11: efficient and faster. So I don't know if they're doing this.

1065
00:57:32,160 --> 00:57:34,320
Speaker 11: They very well could be doing this, But if you

1066
00:57:34,520 --> 00:57:39,240
Speaker 11: go and look at the team's offense wise, that just

1067
00:57:39,720 --> 00:57:43,720
Speaker 11: usually start really good. They obviously have their first fifteen

1068
00:57:43,800 --> 00:57:48,000
Speaker 11: the places that I've been around, they would do two

1069
00:57:48,120 --> 00:57:51,360
Speaker 11: things in those first fifteen that were always really good.

1070
00:57:52,080 --> 00:57:57,800
Speaker 11: Number One, they would get into very specific formations that

1071
00:57:57,840 --> 00:58:02,160
Speaker 11: they had seen other teams have success with against that

1072
00:58:02,320 --> 00:58:05,560
Speaker 11: defense and try to attack some of the flaws of

1073
00:58:05,600 --> 00:58:06,280
Speaker 11: that defense.

1074
00:58:06,720 --> 00:58:07,680
Speaker 1: You know, like I.

1075
00:58:07,600 --> 00:58:11,520
Speaker 11: Remember being with Gary Kubiak and if we played the

1076
00:58:11,560 --> 00:58:15,560
Speaker 11: Houston the Indianapolis Colts, and the week before the Colts

1077
00:58:15,560 --> 00:58:18,400
Speaker 11: had played like the Titans and the Titans, you know,

1078
00:58:19,080 --> 00:58:22,040
Speaker 11: we're getting into twelve personnel and running duo, which is

1079
00:58:22,080 --> 00:58:26,520
Speaker 11: a double team run. Well, Kubiak would be very focused on, Okay,

1080
00:58:26,560 --> 00:58:29,080
Speaker 11: in our first fifteen, we want to get into a

1081
00:58:29,120 --> 00:58:32,920
Speaker 11: twelve personnel. Look, maybe that's not our specialty and our strength,

1082
00:58:33,400 --> 00:58:36,280
Speaker 11: but I know that that defense is struggling to handle that,

1083
00:58:36,880 --> 00:58:39,000
Speaker 11: so he would get into some form of twelve and

1084
00:58:39,040 --> 00:58:41,440
Speaker 11: he would maybe shift to it or motion to it

1085
00:58:41,640 --> 00:58:44,040
Speaker 11: or you know, get it out of a certain you know,

1086
00:58:44,160 --> 00:58:47,160
Speaker 11: gun look or reverse the handoff, whatever to get to

1087
00:58:47,200 --> 00:58:51,760
Speaker 11: that end play and really trying to focus on attacking

1088
00:58:51,840 --> 00:58:56,600
Speaker 11: a defense in the things that they're vulnerable to. On tape,

1089
00:58:57,040 --> 00:58:59,160
Speaker 11: I don't know if Buffalo was doing that or not,

1090
00:58:59,200 --> 00:59:01,600
Speaker 11: and I don't know if they had have coaches that

1091
00:59:01,640 --> 00:59:04,880
Speaker 11: are specializing that. My guess is yes, But that's something

1092
00:59:04,920 --> 00:59:08,920
Speaker 11: that in your first fifteen you absolutely can do. And

1093
00:59:08,960 --> 00:59:12,960
Speaker 11: again maybe it's not your identity, but you're trying to

1094
00:59:13,000 --> 00:59:15,640
Speaker 11: attack the things that they've shown as flaws. And then

1095
00:59:15,680 --> 00:59:18,640
Speaker 11: I think the second thing is gathering information. You know,

1096
00:59:18,680 --> 00:59:20,920
Speaker 11: I don't know if enough teams do that. You know,

1097
00:59:21,200 --> 00:59:23,720
Speaker 11: when when we get into this group in this situation,

1098
00:59:24,320 --> 00:59:26,720
Speaker 11: what are they doing? What's then what do we have

1099
00:59:26,800 --> 00:59:29,120
Speaker 11: to get to instead of just calling plays. I always

1100
00:59:29,160 --> 00:59:32,000
Speaker 11: say that there's a difference between calling plays and calling games.

1101
00:59:32,920 --> 00:59:35,120
Speaker 11: Kyle Shanahan's the best in the world at it, or

1102
00:59:35,400 --> 00:59:37,240
Speaker 11: Andy Reid's the best in the world at it. They

1103
00:59:37,280 --> 00:59:42,000
Speaker 11: get into plays informations and looks, and they do it

1104
00:59:42,120 --> 00:59:45,400
Speaker 11: for obviously they want success, but they're really trying to

1105
00:59:45,400 --> 00:59:48,479
Speaker 11: get into the third or fourth play that they really want,

1106
00:59:48,640 --> 00:59:52,240
Speaker 11: you know, like they really want to, you know, have

1107
00:59:52,360 --> 00:59:55,320
Speaker 11: the chance to throw you know, a deep cross or

1108
00:59:55,360 --> 00:59:58,120
Speaker 11: a big post or a you know, a big in,

1109
00:59:58,920 --> 01:00:00,800
Speaker 11: but they don't want to call in their fifteen because

1110
01:00:00,800 --> 01:00:02,760
Speaker 11: they want to see if they're going to get the

1111
01:00:02,880 --> 01:00:07,680
Speaker 11: ideal look given personnel grouping and or formation and situation.

1112
01:00:08,520 --> 01:00:11,400
Speaker 11: And that's something that maybe Buffalo again they might be

1113
01:00:11,520 --> 01:00:15,400
Speaker 11: doing that, but if not, for sure need to do

1114
01:00:15,440 --> 01:00:16,120
Speaker 11: it more.

1115
01:00:16,960 --> 01:00:19,400
Speaker 2: So, Dan, you mentioned a couple of weeks ago when

1116
01:00:19,400 --> 01:00:21,160
Speaker 2: you had John in the wake of the injuries that

1117
01:00:21,200 --> 01:00:23,920
Speaker 2: the Bill sustained on defense Dai Kwon, Jones, Man Milano,

1118
01:00:23,920 --> 01:00:27,400
Speaker 2: Tradavius White, that the burden was going to fall on

1119
01:00:27,480 --> 01:00:30,560
Speaker 2: their defensive front to kind of hold the fort that

1120
01:00:30,720 --> 01:00:32,040
Speaker 2: sustained some injuries too.

1121
01:00:32,120 --> 01:00:33,680
Speaker 4: We know Ed didn't play last.

1122
01:00:33,440 --> 01:00:37,680
Speaker 2: Week, which hurt obviously, and it compromised their pass rush

1123
01:00:37,720 --> 01:00:40,320
Speaker 2: because the Bills had very few opportunities to rush mac

1124
01:00:40,400 --> 01:00:43,080
Speaker 2: Jones because they were not in long down and distant

1125
01:00:43,120 --> 01:00:46,360
Speaker 2: situations very often. So if that continues to be a

1126
01:00:46,440 --> 01:00:50,000
Speaker 2: problem in the last three games without those three defensive

1127
01:00:50,040 --> 01:00:53,560
Speaker 2: players in their lineup. The run defense has been grossly subpar,

1128
01:00:53,760 --> 01:00:56,920
Speaker 2: near the bottom of the league. What does the offense

1129
01:00:57,320 --> 01:01:00,000
Speaker 2: have to do to kind of create a greater margin

1130
01:01:00,120 --> 01:01:02,920
Speaker 2: of error for that defense? We hear we get callers

1131
01:01:02,960 --> 01:01:05,800
Speaker 2: all the time, Dan saying, hey, Josh is running less.

1132
01:01:05,800 --> 01:01:09,240
Speaker 2: They gotta let Josh be Josh. Do you think Josh's

1133
01:01:10,480 --> 01:01:13,440
Speaker 2: reduced frequency in taking off with the football there have

1134
01:01:13,480 --> 01:01:16,920
Speaker 2: been virtually no designed runs for him this season. Do

1135
01:01:17,000 --> 01:01:19,560
Speaker 2: you think it's gotten to a point where opposing defenses

1136
01:01:19,560 --> 01:01:21,960
Speaker 2: are now saying, that's something we really don't have to

1137
01:01:21,960 --> 01:01:24,360
Speaker 2: worry about anymore, and now you have that extra defender

1138
01:01:24,400 --> 01:01:27,600
Speaker 2: to commit to other areas of your defense to stop

1139
01:01:27,640 --> 01:01:28,600
Speaker 2: this Bill's offense.

1140
01:01:29,800 --> 01:01:34,200
Speaker 11: Yes, yes, in this specific situational football situation, and more

1141
01:01:34,240 --> 01:01:37,479
Speaker 11: so the designed runs more so than the scrambling. Every

1142
01:01:37,520 --> 01:01:39,920
Speaker 11: defense is going to be a little bit more or

1143
01:01:39,920 --> 01:01:43,720
Speaker 11: a little bit focused on quarterbacks. Scrambling certainly, Josh, but

1144
01:01:43,760 --> 01:01:48,240
Speaker 11: the designed run situations, third downs, red zones. I think

1145
01:01:48,280 --> 01:01:51,240
Speaker 11: teams are a little bit less focused on it because

1146
01:01:51,280 --> 01:01:55,920
Speaker 11: they haven't done it as much. Why obviously the injury conversation,

1147
01:01:56,600 --> 01:02:00,000
Speaker 11: do they need to do it more? I would say

1148
01:02:01,440 --> 01:02:03,280
Speaker 11: What does this offense need to do to help the

1149
01:02:03,320 --> 01:02:09,120
Speaker 11: defense out. I think the first question is Brandon being

1150
01:02:09,280 --> 01:02:12,400
Speaker 11: going to be active this next ten days to two

1151
01:02:12,400 --> 01:02:16,760
Speaker 11: weeks and how because a month ago before these injuries,

1152
01:02:17,360 --> 01:02:19,760
Speaker 11: this was the best team in football. This was one

1153
01:02:19,760 --> 01:02:22,760
Speaker 11: of the best teams. Whether however I viewed them as

1154
01:02:22,760 --> 01:02:25,400
Speaker 11: the best team, I thought they could be anybody. They

1155
01:02:25,440 --> 01:02:28,160
Speaker 11: can't right now. They're not right now, we can be

1156
01:02:28,200 --> 01:02:31,960
Speaker 11: honest about that. So they have to find a cover

1157
01:02:32,080 --> 01:02:35,040
Speaker 11: corner that can play man coverage. Is there one out

1158
01:02:35,080 --> 01:02:37,320
Speaker 11: there that they can go trade for? And they've got

1159
01:02:37,320 --> 01:02:40,720
Speaker 11: to find a better inside linebackers situation. Right now, the

1160
01:02:40,800 --> 01:02:43,760
Speaker 11: run diagnosed is not showing up the way that it

1161
01:02:43,800 --> 01:02:46,240
Speaker 11: did with Matt Milano, Matt Malonald's great. Is there a

1162
01:02:46,280 --> 01:02:49,200
Speaker 11: guy at the inside lineback position that's even in that

1163
01:02:49,240 --> 01:02:52,880
Speaker 11: same conversation? And what's it cost you? You know, that's

1164
01:02:52,880 --> 01:02:54,840
Speaker 11: the challenge is what does it cost you for the

1165
01:02:54,960 --> 01:02:56,400
Speaker 11: now or for the future?

1166
01:02:56,440 --> 01:02:57,200
Speaker 13: For right now?

1167
01:02:57,920 --> 01:02:59,960
Speaker 11: I think the second thing in relation to the offense

1168
01:03:00,200 --> 01:03:03,680
Speaker 11: is I've been a part of situations like this whereas

1169
01:03:03,680 --> 01:03:06,360
Speaker 11: an offense you sit there and go, all right, I

1170
01:03:06,400 --> 01:03:08,280
Speaker 11: don't know if we can win unless we score thirty.

1171
01:03:08,880 --> 01:03:11,520
Speaker 11: And I'm not saying it's that dire, because obviously there's

1172
01:03:11,520 --> 01:03:14,480
Speaker 11: still talent under defense, but sometimes it can feel that

1173
01:03:14,520 --> 01:03:17,800
Speaker 11: way and that changes the way you play. You become

1174
01:03:17,880 --> 01:03:22,600
Speaker 11: so much more overly aggressive with plays and your decision making.

1175
01:03:22,680 --> 01:03:24,560
Speaker 11: You're trying to force things all the time because you

1176
01:03:24,600 --> 01:03:27,160
Speaker 11: know if you don't score let's say twenty four plus,

1177
01:03:27,320 --> 01:03:30,320
Speaker 11: we can't win because of the situation of defense. And

1178
01:03:30,680 --> 01:03:35,680
Speaker 11: that's the big challenge is like how how aggressive can

1179
01:03:35,720 --> 01:03:38,160
Speaker 11: this offense get without hurting itself to try to help

1180
01:03:38,200 --> 01:03:42,840
Speaker 11: the defense. And the point blank answer to the question

1181
01:03:42,960 --> 01:03:44,960
Speaker 11: is the only way that they can help the defense

1182
01:03:45,000 --> 01:03:48,040
Speaker 11: themselves is to score. And that's going to take a

1183
01:03:48,120 --> 01:03:50,800
Speaker 11: little bit different viewpoint of how they want to play ball.

1184
01:03:50,920 --> 01:03:52,800
Speaker 1: One of the things is with them now is that

1185
01:03:52,880 --> 01:03:55,360
Speaker 1: Dawson Knox has had risk surgery. He's weak to weak.

1186
01:03:55,440 --> 01:03:59,720
Speaker 1: Now they're probably we're guessing go more eleven without Dawson

1187
01:03:59,800 --> 01:04:03,080
Speaker 1: Knock on the ross or at least injured. That means

1188
01:04:03,160 --> 01:04:05,520
Speaker 1: Kinkaid is now the tight end. You go with one back,

1189
01:04:05,600 --> 01:04:09,360
Speaker 1: three wides in the tight end, and they have been

1190
01:04:09,400 --> 01:04:12,919
Speaker 1: able to run the ball more efficiently or better out

1191
01:04:12,960 --> 01:04:18,280
Speaker 1: of that formation. Rather than out of twelve personnel. What

1192
01:04:18,320 --> 01:04:20,600
Speaker 1: are your thoughts on the bills now having to juggle

1193
01:04:21,360 --> 01:04:23,560
Speaker 1: now being like left handed, you don't have you don't

1194
01:04:23,560 --> 01:04:26,880
Speaker 1: have the twelve personnel package like you did a week ago.

1195
01:04:27,680 --> 01:04:30,600
Speaker 1: You got to go eleven or or twenty two.

1196
01:04:32,160 --> 01:04:36,400
Speaker 11: Yeah, I think the twenty two still has some life,

1197
01:04:36,440 --> 01:04:39,680
Speaker 11: and I still I still think they're twenty two can

1198
01:04:40,640 --> 01:04:43,000
Speaker 11: And I would say, you know, using their fullback as

1199
01:04:43,040 --> 01:04:45,480
Speaker 11: a little bit of a tight end, world can live

1200
01:04:45,520 --> 01:04:48,600
Speaker 11: in that. You know, I would say this because of

1201
01:04:48,640 --> 01:04:51,520
Speaker 11: the eleven. You know, they had some times when they

1202
01:04:51,600 --> 01:04:54,560
Speaker 11: get into their four x zero or four x one formation,

1203
01:04:54,760 --> 01:04:57,960
Speaker 11: four guys to one side, and they run some RPOs.

1204
01:04:58,560 --> 01:05:00,640
Speaker 11: I would I would expect a little bit more of that,

1205
01:05:01,600 --> 01:05:06,480
Speaker 11: and that single person more often than not should be either.

1206
01:05:07,160 --> 01:05:09,440
Speaker 11: I would say it should be Steph, you know, like

1207
01:05:09,640 --> 01:05:12,400
Speaker 11: I think you put Steph by himself in those situations

1208
01:05:12,440 --> 01:05:14,320
Speaker 11: and you give him the chance to win some one

1209
01:05:14,360 --> 01:05:16,200
Speaker 11: on one routes and if not, you kick the ball

1210
01:05:16,240 --> 01:05:19,440
Speaker 11: front side or hand it off. The interesting thing was Steve,

1211
01:05:19,480 --> 01:05:21,720
Speaker 11: like they got into some of those in eleven personnel

1212
01:05:21,760 --> 01:05:24,760
Speaker 11: and some of their four xoo formations and they didn't

1213
01:05:24,800 --> 01:05:27,120
Speaker 11: run you know what I would say, like, they didn't

1214
01:05:27,160 --> 01:05:29,600
Speaker 11: run a front side RPO. They just handed the ball

1215
01:05:29,640 --> 01:05:33,360
Speaker 11: off instead of having a p a pass option on

1216
01:05:33,400 --> 01:05:34,960
Speaker 11: the front side. And some of my notes are like,

1217
01:05:34,960 --> 01:05:38,160
Speaker 11: why are we even in four yoo if not for

1218
01:05:38,280 --> 01:05:40,680
Speaker 11: the opportunity to kick the ball front side? You know,

1219
01:05:40,720 --> 01:05:42,520
Speaker 11: it's either hand the ball off or throw a one

1220
01:05:42,560 --> 01:05:44,960
Speaker 11: on one route back side. But you know, if they

1221
01:05:45,000 --> 01:05:48,640
Speaker 11: shade backside and then they have their linebackers stacked, you

1222
01:05:48,680 --> 01:05:52,120
Speaker 11: don't the numbers advantage isn't taken advantage of. So I

1223
01:05:52,160 --> 01:05:54,240
Speaker 11: think a little bit more of a spread out RPO.

1224
01:05:54,840 --> 01:05:57,720
Speaker 11: Look in the eleven personnel will kind of have to

1225
01:05:57,760 --> 01:05:58,440
Speaker 11: show itself.

1226
01:05:58,840 --> 01:06:02,880
Speaker 2: Last one here Dan the Bucks defense, who's on tap

1227
01:06:02,920 --> 01:06:06,160
Speaker 2: on Thursday night? Here a little bit of a strange

1228
01:06:06,240 --> 01:06:09,800
Speaker 2: anomaly here. Statistically they are last in the league in

1229
01:06:09,840 --> 01:06:12,920
Speaker 2: third down defense, but they're first in the league in

1230
01:06:13,080 --> 01:06:14,120
Speaker 2: red zone defense.

1231
01:06:15,040 --> 01:06:17,880
Speaker 4: Yep, how is that possible? Number one?

1232
01:06:18,280 --> 01:06:20,360
Speaker 2: And then number two some of the stuff you mentioned

1233
01:06:20,360 --> 01:06:22,880
Speaker 2: at the top with Josh in the red zone. How

1234
01:06:22,880 --> 01:06:24,600
Speaker 2: big of a challenge is that going to be against

1235
01:06:24,600 --> 01:06:25,000
Speaker 2: this group?

1236
01:06:25,960 --> 01:06:28,520
Speaker 11: Big time challenge. I think that those stats might be

1237
01:06:28,600 --> 01:06:31,000
Speaker 11: a little bit skewed just from last week, you know,

1238
01:06:31,160 --> 01:06:34,439
Speaker 11: three red zone fumbles by Desmond Ritter or a huge

1239
01:06:34,440 --> 01:06:37,400
Speaker 11: story in that game. Honestly, that game's not as close

1240
01:06:37,440 --> 01:06:40,479
Speaker 11: as sixteen thirteen Atlanta Tampa Bay of last week. There's

1241
01:06:40,760 --> 01:06:42,880
Speaker 11: three fumbles that he has now one of them's at

1242
01:06:42,880 --> 01:06:44,920
Speaker 11: the ten yard line. Great pass us two are at

1243
01:06:44,960 --> 01:06:47,440
Speaker 11: the one, so that could have been a you know,

1244
01:06:47,560 --> 01:06:52,120
Speaker 11: two possession game win for Atlanta. I think here's who

1245
01:06:52,160 --> 01:06:56,400
Speaker 11: Tampa Bay is. They're phenomenal run defense wise. Very few

1246
01:06:56,400 --> 01:06:58,600
Speaker 11: teams have ran the football against them. Atlanta had a

1247
01:06:58,680 --> 01:07:02,240
Speaker 11: little success, but that's their bread and butter. I think

1248
01:07:02,280 --> 01:07:05,240
Speaker 11: that there are chunk throws against this defense that that

1249
01:07:05,360 --> 01:07:08,680
Speaker 11: Josh and this offense can take advantage of. People are

1250
01:07:08,720 --> 01:07:11,200
Speaker 11: gonna be sick and tired of hearing about it. You

1251
01:07:11,280 --> 01:07:13,439
Speaker 11: are not going to drop back chunk this team though,

1252
01:07:13,680 --> 01:07:17,280
Speaker 11: You're not gonna they're they're too good upfront. You have

1253
01:07:17,360 --> 01:07:20,240
Speaker 11: to play action chunk them. That's what Desmond Rinter did

1254
01:07:20,360 --> 01:07:22,840
Speaker 11: a little bit. There's three level throws that you can

1255
01:07:22,880 --> 01:07:26,800
Speaker 11: get on this defense. I think the challenge for them

1256
01:07:26,840 --> 01:07:31,640
Speaker 11: in the red zone is this. They are a tremendous linebacking,

1257
01:07:31,800 --> 01:07:37,120
Speaker 11: linebacker blitzing team. They they and with Levante, David and

1258
01:07:37,160 --> 01:07:39,400
Speaker 11: Devin White. In the way that they pressure and then

1259
01:07:39,480 --> 01:07:43,000
Speaker 11: drop people, two things will be paramount. It's gonna have

1260
01:07:43,200 --> 01:07:46,040
Speaker 11: to be get it out quick or it's gonna have

1261
01:07:46,240 --> 01:07:52,120
Speaker 11: to be Josh in a one on one situation versus,

1262
01:07:52,280 --> 01:07:54,640
Speaker 11: you know, a coverage unit that's not as good as

1263
01:07:54,680 --> 01:07:56,560
Speaker 11: it was they're in their Super Bowl run, because they

1264
01:07:56,600 --> 01:07:59,960
Speaker 11: will all out pressure you, and you know, Josh I

1265
01:08:00,040 --> 01:08:01,520
Speaker 11: would say this when they do, you can't throw it

1266
01:08:01,560 --> 01:08:03,400
Speaker 11: over the middle because they will drop guys out and

1267
01:08:03,440 --> 01:08:06,400
Speaker 11: there's easy interceptions there for the defense. So it's more

1268
01:08:06,520 --> 01:08:10,600
Speaker 11: kick the ball versus pressure to the perimeter. And then

1269
01:08:11,280 --> 01:08:15,400
Speaker 11: you better be ready for those blitzing linebackers because they

1270
01:08:15,440 --> 01:08:16,240
Speaker 11: get on you quick.

1296
01:09:47,280 --> 01:09:49,559
Speaker 14: What have your found works for you in terms of

1297
01:09:49,560 --> 01:09:50,840
Speaker 14: preparing on short weeks time.

1298
01:09:52,040 --> 01:09:55,720
Speaker 15: I mean the system that we have in place that

1299
01:09:55,840 --> 01:10:00,800
Speaker 15: allows us to still have some pretty complex calls our

1300
01:10:00,800 --> 01:10:04,559
Speaker 15: guys know it. You know, we get some smart, smart

1301
01:10:04,560 --> 01:10:06,880
Speaker 15: and tough guys on this offense that you know, we

1302
01:10:06,920 --> 01:10:09,640
Speaker 15: feel like I can play multiple positions, so that's you know,

1303
01:10:09,680 --> 01:10:11,560
Speaker 15: we can keep it as simple as possible and just

1304
01:10:11,640 --> 01:10:13,760
Speaker 15: kind of run based stuff, and I feel like we

1305
01:10:13,840 --> 01:10:15,120
Speaker 15: have a pretty good plan in.

1306
01:10:15,200 --> 01:10:17,960
Speaker 14: The physical challenges are obvious when you're playing on a

1307
01:10:17,960 --> 01:10:21,639
Speaker 14: short week, but right now, when the team maybe hasn't been,

1308
01:10:21,880 --> 01:10:23,880
Speaker 14: you know, performing the way you would hope. Is it

1309
01:10:23,960 --> 01:10:25,320
Speaker 14: nice to be on a short week to try to

1310
01:10:25,320 --> 01:10:27,160
Speaker 14: get that maybe poor taste out of your mouth from

1311
01:10:27,200 --> 01:10:27,639
Speaker 14: last week?

1312
01:10:28,000 --> 01:10:28,320
Speaker 3: For sure?

1313
01:10:28,360 --> 01:10:30,960
Speaker 15: I mean it's another opportunity, and it's it's closer than Sunday.

1314
01:10:32,080 --> 01:10:33,400
Speaker 15: Give us a chance to do what we love and

1315
01:10:33,400 --> 01:10:36,200
Speaker 15: that's to play this game. And uh, you know, our

1316
01:10:36,240 --> 01:10:37,640
Speaker 15: goal is to play it at a high level. And

1317
01:10:38,400 --> 01:10:40,960
Speaker 15: you know, we're very aware that we haven't played up

1318
01:10:41,000 --> 01:10:43,080
Speaker 15: to our our standard and our potential the last couple

1319
01:10:43,080 --> 01:10:45,800
Speaker 15: of weeks and we're looking to fix that. So any

1320
01:10:45,800 --> 01:10:47,600
Speaker 15: opportunity that we get to play this game, you know

1321
01:10:47,680 --> 01:10:50,200
Speaker 15: we're gonna jump at it. But make no mistake, it's

1322
01:10:50,200 --> 01:10:54,000
Speaker 15: a tough Tampa Bay defense and team coming in coming

1323
01:10:54,040 --> 01:10:56,280
Speaker 15: in here. Thursday night, So we got to be ready

1324
01:10:56,280 --> 01:10:57,840
Speaker 15: for whatever they can throw at us.

1325
01:10:58,320 --> 01:11:00,639
Speaker 16: The game you love and everybody's seen you play at

1326
01:11:00,640 --> 01:11:03,439
Speaker 16: that level and we talk about energy and pace and

1327
01:11:03,479 --> 01:11:06,479
Speaker 16: all those things that go with it. People look to

1328
01:11:06,520 --> 01:11:08,559
Speaker 16: you a lot to see the way you play with

1329
01:11:08,600 --> 01:11:10,720
Speaker 16: a joy and the way you play in a game.

1330
01:11:10,840 --> 01:11:14,559
Speaker 11: Does that can that only come when you're having success?

1331
01:11:14,720 --> 01:11:17,280
Speaker 16: Or is that like a mindset you can bring to

1332
01:11:17,360 --> 01:11:21,240
Speaker 16: a game of maybe going in with a with lack

1333
01:11:21,280 --> 01:11:23,320
Speaker 16: of a rail way of saying it a better not

1334
01:11:23,360 --> 01:11:25,360
Speaker 16: a better attitude, a positive attitude.

1335
01:11:25,479 --> 01:11:27,679
Speaker 15: Yeah, And I think it comes down to mentality, comes

1336
01:11:27,720 --> 01:11:32,280
Speaker 15: down to uh, your your attitude towards it. And you know,

1337
01:11:32,320 --> 01:11:35,760
Speaker 15: the last few weeks, really really after week two, I've

1338
01:11:35,760 --> 01:11:38,599
Speaker 15: been trying to find a zone where I get myself

1339
01:11:38,600 --> 01:11:41,439
Speaker 15: into throughout the game, try to stay as low as possible,

1340
01:11:41,479 --> 01:11:43,160
Speaker 15: so I feel like I performed better that way. But

1341
01:11:44,680 --> 01:11:46,679
Speaker 15: you know, maybe I gotta I gotta be more upbeatn

1342
01:11:46,840 --> 01:11:48,559
Speaker 15: and be a voice and be a little bit more

1343
01:11:48,600 --> 01:11:51,720
Speaker 15: loud and let my emotions show a little bit more.

1344
01:11:51,760 --> 01:11:54,519
Speaker 15: And you know, whether I do that Thursday or not,

1345
01:11:54,640 --> 01:11:56,360
Speaker 15: I guess we'll come with with the execution of it.

1346
01:11:56,400 --> 01:11:58,880
Speaker 15: Because Obviously, everybody's having more fun when you're when you're

1347
01:11:58,880 --> 01:12:04,519
Speaker 15: winning football games and performing well. So that's first and

1348
01:12:04,560 --> 01:12:06,000
Speaker 15: foremost is you know, we got to go out there

1349
01:12:06,040 --> 01:12:08,120
Speaker 15: and execute, and I think execution breeds energy.

1350
01:12:08,280 --> 01:12:09,439
Speaker 17: Why don't you sell low?

1351
01:12:09,479 --> 01:12:11,200
Speaker 7: Let's give yourself as low as possible.

1352
01:12:11,360 --> 01:12:13,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, what what was with the.

1353
01:12:13,200 --> 01:12:15,599
Speaker 7: Philosophy years approach behind them?

1354
01:12:15,800 --> 01:12:17,640
Speaker 15: I'm just trying to stay you know, in this in

1355
01:12:17,680 --> 01:12:20,679
Speaker 15: this state called low positive where you know your energy

1356
01:12:20,720 --> 01:12:22,639
Speaker 15: is not super high and you're allowing your your mind

1357
01:12:22,680 --> 01:12:26,240
Speaker 15: to think and be free and just just you know,

1358
01:12:26,280 --> 01:12:28,280
Speaker 15: stay on top of everything because obviously, as a quarterback,

1359
01:12:28,280 --> 01:12:30,439
Speaker 15: there's a lot of things going through our mind. So if

1360
01:12:30,439 --> 01:12:33,120
Speaker 15: I can limit you know, myself and my energy and

1361
01:12:33,160 --> 01:12:35,000
Speaker 15: my heart rate, I feel like I can. I can

1362
01:12:35,439 --> 01:12:38,240
Speaker 15: maybe think a little bit more, but who knows, maybe

1363
01:12:38,280 --> 01:12:39,400
Speaker 15: I need to think a little bit less and just

1364
01:12:39,400 --> 01:12:40,000
Speaker 15: play football.

1365
01:12:40,160 --> 01:12:40,320
Speaker 6: Well.

1366
01:12:40,520 --> 01:12:43,000
Speaker 2: I mean, that's that's it, isn't I mean, and you

1367
01:12:43,120 --> 01:12:46,720
Speaker 2: do feel the offense has been dictating to other defenses.

1368
01:12:47,880 --> 01:12:50,240
Speaker 15: We've been hearing all this we can't defense basis, But

1369
01:12:50,280 --> 01:12:53,400
Speaker 15: at book point does the offense needs to dictate and

1370
01:12:53,280 --> 01:12:55,920
Speaker 15: and maybe put its put gain? I mean, that's that's

1371
01:12:55,920 --> 01:12:59,880
Speaker 15: a very very good point, you know, and every time

1372
01:12:59,920 --> 01:13:03,439
Speaker 15: we step on the field, we want to score and maybe,

1373
01:13:04,240 --> 01:13:06,639
Speaker 15: you know, it comes down to me, maybe I've been

1374
01:13:07,880 --> 01:13:10,320
Speaker 15: not enough of that, you know, on our team of

1375
01:13:10,360 --> 01:13:12,280
Speaker 15: saying like, hey, like we're gonna get this done and

1376
01:13:12,280 --> 01:13:14,880
Speaker 15: this is how we're gonna do it, instead of you know,

1377
01:13:15,040 --> 01:13:18,000
Speaker 15: let's let's play against the defensive strengths, but let's let's

1378
01:13:18,040 --> 01:13:19,680
Speaker 15: let's figure out what our strengths are and play to

1379
01:13:19,760 --> 01:13:22,400
Speaker 15: those and make make the defense play to our strengths.

1380
01:13:22,439 --> 01:13:24,640
Speaker 15: So I don't I don't know how that looks or

1381
01:13:24,680 --> 01:13:26,439
Speaker 15: what that looks like. You know, we're we're just trying

1382
01:13:26,439 --> 01:13:29,120
Speaker 15: to go out there and and score as many points

1383
01:13:29,120 --> 01:13:32,080
Speaker 15: as we can on offense. That's that's our job, you know.

1384
01:13:32,120 --> 01:13:33,800
Speaker 15: And again we've got an opportunity. But again, this this

1385
01:13:33,880 --> 01:13:36,280
Speaker 15: defense that we're playing, they do a lot of different things.

1386
01:13:36,280 --> 01:13:38,960
Speaker 15: They got a couple of really good pass rushers, They

1387
01:13:38,960 --> 01:13:42,599
Speaker 15: play the run very well. Their linebackers are very smart

1388
01:13:42,600 --> 01:13:45,160
Speaker 15: and savvy. They move around very well as well. So

1389
01:13:46,400 --> 01:13:47,880
Speaker 15: you know, we're gonna have our hands full.

1390
01:13:48,000 --> 01:13:50,240
Speaker 12: Can you mentioned the low positive? That sounds like it's

1391
01:13:50,280 --> 01:13:51,800
Speaker 12: you know, best for your need, it's how do you

1392
01:13:51,840 --> 01:13:53,880
Speaker 12: balance though, what's good for you as an individual and

1393
01:13:53,920 --> 01:13:55,479
Speaker 12: what's good for the team as a whole when you're

1394
01:13:55,520 --> 01:13:57,320
Speaker 12: trying to you know, serve both of those.

1395
01:13:57,880 --> 01:13:59,800
Speaker 15: Yeah, I mean it's a it's a it's a thin line.

1396
01:13:59,800 --> 01:14:04,559
Speaker 15: But again with this team, you know, they they looked

1397
01:14:04,600 --> 01:14:06,360
Speaker 15: to the captains, they look to the quarterback, I think

1398
01:14:06,880 --> 01:14:10,920
Speaker 15: in all levels of football, right, So I got to

1399
01:14:10,920 --> 01:14:12,880
Speaker 15: do more and that's that's what I plan on doing.

1400
01:14:15,240 --> 01:14:17,439
Speaker 17: And so that was in response to week one. That

1401
01:14:17,600 --> 01:14:20,040
Speaker 17: was for week two, you tried to get to that

1402
01:14:20,080 --> 01:14:23,960
Speaker 17: place to little positive said that has that caused you?

1403
01:14:24,120 --> 01:14:25,640
Speaker 17: And you said, maybe you need to just go out

1404
01:14:25,680 --> 01:14:28,559
Speaker 17: and play football. Do you feel like beyond just a

1405
01:14:28,600 --> 01:14:31,840
Speaker 17: thought process, like you know, within games, have you been

1406
01:14:31,880 --> 01:14:34,040
Speaker 17: hesitant as a result of that, you know, hindsight's twenty

1407
01:14:34,080 --> 01:14:35,559
Speaker 17: twenty looking back on your play.

1408
01:14:35,560 --> 01:14:36,200
Speaker 13: No, I don't think so.

1409
01:14:37,520 --> 01:14:40,759
Speaker 15: You know, I'm still still feel like I'm taking calculated

1410
01:14:40,840 --> 01:14:44,400
Speaker 15: risks obviously putting the ball in danger too often though,

1411
01:14:44,479 --> 01:14:46,960
Speaker 15: but you know, we got to clean up on that.

1412
01:14:47,000 --> 01:14:48,960
Speaker 15: But at the end of the day, again, whatever it

1413
01:14:49,000 --> 01:14:50,800
Speaker 15: takes for me to help this team win football games

1414
01:14:50,840 --> 01:14:51,559
Speaker 15: is what I'm willing to do.

1415
01:14:53,439 --> 01:14:54,280
Speaker 3: Do that come work.

1416
01:14:54,120 --> 01:14:56,400
Speaker 12: From an outside suggestion or was that something that you

1417
01:14:56,439 --> 01:14:57,880
Speaker 12: internally were like, I think this.

1418
01:14:57,800 --> 01:14:58,280
Speaker 2: Will help me.

1419
01:14:58,400 --> 01:15:00,280
Speaker 15: I mean, it's something I had thought about for a

1420
01:15:00,320 --> 01:15:04,479
Speaker 15: while and I did talk to somebody externally and just

1421
01:15:04,520 --> 01:15:07,200
Speaker 15: trying to trying to get get that feeling of when

1422
01:15:07,240 --> 01:15:10,920
Speaker 15: I feel like I perform my best and uh, you know,

1423
01:15:12,120 --> 01:15:14,559
Speaker 15: sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, you know, but again,

1424
01:15:14,600 --> 01:15:16,200
Speaker 15: I gotta I gotta figure it out what it is

1425
01:15:16,240 --> 01:15:21,200
Speaker 15: and you know, will myself to be in that best

1426
01:15:21,240 --> 01:15:22,920
Speaker 15: mindset mentality that I can can be.

1427
01:15:22,960 --> 01:15:25,280
Speaker 18: A helpless team says you are willing to do whatever

1428
01:15:25,280 --> 01:15:28,840
Speaker 18: it takes. Do you think that includes increasing your involvement

1429
01:15:29,000 --> 01:15:31,760
Speaker 18: in the running game and and maybe getting out there

1430
01:15:31,960 --> 01:15:33,879
Speaker 18: and creating a rhythm that way.

1431
01:15:34,640 --> 01:15:38,800
Speaker 15: Again, I I don't think majoring in QB runs is

1432
01:15:39,760 --> 01:15:45,200
Speaker 15: something that is long lasting or is viable every game,

1433
01:15:45,280 --> 01:15:47,640
Speaker 15: but I'm sure there's gonna be opportunities where it's going

1434
01:15:47,720 --> 01:15:50,280
Speaker 15: to be called upon me and you know, in a

1435
01:15:50,320 --> 01:15:52,880
Speaker 15: short week that's gonna be tough. But moving forward, if

1436
01:15:52,920 --> 01:15:55,680
Speaker 15: that's what's asking me, I'm willing to do it. It's

1437
01:15:55,680 --> 01:15:58,040
Speaker 15: actually the perfect setup when you do that. What does

1438
01:15:58,040 --> 01:16:00,360
Speaker 15: it do to defenses when you're able to accept with

1439
01:16:00,400 --> 01:16:03,040
Speaker 15: your legs or just run for a play on your own.

1440
01:16:03,120 --> 01:16:05,160
Speaker 4: What does that do to the coverage that you get?

1441
01:16:05,920 --> 01:16:06,240
Speaker 5: I mean it.

1442
01:16:06,960 --> 01:16:08,559
Speaker 15: You know, when you run the quarterback, you just pick

1443
01:16:08,640 --> 01:16:11,760
Speaker 15: up an extra blocker, whether it's pulling somebody out in

1444
01:16:11,800 --> 01:16:13,640
Speaker 15: an empty set or you have the running back as

1445
01:16:13,640 --> 01:16:16,479
Speaker 15: your lead blocker. You're reading a defensive end and helps

1446
01:16:16,520 --> 01:16:20,840
Speaker 15: you get I guess more hats on hats on the

1447
01:16:20,880 --> 01:16:24,000
Speaker 15: defensive side of the ball. So you know it is

1448
01:16:25,160 --> 01:16:28,320
Speaker 15: quarterback runs are hard to stop. But again I don't

1449
01:16:28,360 --> 01:16:29,559
Speaker 15: I don't think you should major in all.

1450
01:16:29,520 --> 01:16:33,960
Speaker 8: Those jsh then going off that have you intentionally kind

1451
01:16:33,960 --> 01:16:34,720
Speaker 8: of decided to.

1452
01:16:34,680 --> 01:16:35,200
Speaker 9: Look to run.

1453
01:16:36,720 --> 01:16:40,840
Speaker 15: No, I don't think so. You know, just I'm trying

1454
01:16:40,880 --> 01:16:43,640
Speaker 15: to get in playmaker's hands, and those guys are a

1455
01:16:43,720 --> 01:16:45,519
Speaker 15: lot shiftier and a lot faster than I am. That

1456
01:16:45,560 --> 01:16:47,840
Speaker 15: we have outside, So the more opportunities we can get

1457
01:16:47,840 --> 01:16:48,920
Speaker 15: the ball in their hands, the better.

1458
01:16:49,560 --> 01:16:53,320
Speaker 14: Defensive spy on you less this season because there's not

1459
01:16:53,360 --> 01:16:55,960
Speaker 14: as many design runs.

1460
01:16:56,360 --> 01:16:58,559
Speaker 15: I don't think so. I think especially you know, first

1461
01:16:58,600 --> 01:17:00,400
Speaker 15: and second down. I think the trend of the league

1462
01:17:00,439 --> 01:17:03,280
Speaker 15: right now is play too high shell, whether it's quarters

1463
01:17:03,560 --> 01:17:05,519
Speaker 15: or some sort of some sort of Tampa. Look, we're

1464
01:17:05,560 --> 01:17:08,880
Speaker 15: getting a little bit of away from Tampa, and then

1465
01:17:08,920 --> 01:17:11,320
Speaker 15: on third down that's when they'll go whether it's a

1466
01:17:12,520 --> 01:17:14,840
Speaker 15: man look and they'll spy the quarterbacks and the Russian

1467
01:17:14,880 --> 01:17:19,800
Speaker 15: quarterbacks in this league. So just kind of understanding what

1468
01:17:20,000 --> 01:17:22,280
Speaker 15: the scheme of the of the year is right now,

1469
01:17:22,320 --> 01:17:23,800
Speaker 15: and that's kind of what it's looking like right now.

1470
01:17:24,600 --> 01:17:26,640
Speaker 2: All right, that's Josh Allen addressing the media. Have some

1471
01:17:26,680 --> 01:17:29,439
Speaker 2: interesting answers there Steve about trying to get himself in

1472
01:17:29,479 --> 01:17:33,479
Speaker 2: the right headspace to perform at his best talking to

1473
01:17:33,560 --> 01:17:36,960
Speaker 2: outside people and everything, like he took a deep dive here.

1474
01:17:38,040 --> 01:17:40,479
Speaker 1: Yeah, obviously he doesn't like what he's seeing on film

1475
01:17:40,479 --> 01:17:42,479
Speaker 1: from himself, and that's a that's a big state. Because

1476
01:17:42,479 --> 01:17:44,599
Speaker 1: he's not playing bad. We've talked about it. Yeah, he's

1477
01:17:44,600 --> 01:17:46,599
Speaker 1: playing actually pretty good, but he feels like he can

1478
01:17:46,920 --> 01:17:50,160
Speaker 1: do more, do more, uh, and be more efficient, make

1479
01:17:50,360 --> 01:17:52,960
Speaker 1: a higher completion percentage not and we're talking about him

1480
01:17:53,520 --> 01:17:55,280
Speaker 1: when you're talking about the big scheme of things, it

1481
01:17:55,280 --> 01:17:57,960
Speaker 1: makes it seem like we you know, there's a transformational

1482
01:17:58,360 --> 01:18:00,519
Speaker 1: a desire for a transformation here and then really you

1483
01:18:00,520 --> 01:18:04,280
Speaker 1: don't need that. You're talking literally less than five plays

1484
01:18:04,360 --> 01:18:07,439
Speaker 1: in one hundred and fifty play game. You're talking in

1485
01:18:07,479 --> 01:18:09,400
Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty to one hundred and fifty plays

1486
01:18:09,400 --> 01:18:12,879
Speaker 1: in a game. You're talking like three, four or five plays.

1487
01:18:13,479 --> 01:18:16,040
Speaker 1: That's it that will make a difference in the outcome

1488
01:18:16,080 --> 01:18:18,120
Speaker 1: and the way the rest of the game subsequently plays

1489
01:18:18,160 --> 01:18:23,519
Speaker 1: out after that. Missed opportunities are what really kill players

1490
01:18:23,560 --> 01:18:27,920
Speaker 1: when they look at film, because you say, if Knox

1491
01:18:28,000 --> 01:18:31,400
Speaker 1: catches the fourth down pass, everything changes, and maybe it

1492
01:18:31,439 --> 01:18:33,200
Speaker 1: does from then on of course, then you know.

1493
01:18:33,160 --> 01:18:35,360
Speaker 2: You know, he hits digs on the right shot.

1494
01:18:35,160 --> 01:18:38,320
Speaker 1: Puts digs on the shot. Play. That kind of stuff

1495
01:18:38,479 --> 01:18:41,640
Speaker 1: sticks with players big time, and when they start to

1496
01:18:41,680 --> 01:18:44,599
Speaker 1: watch film, And I went through this as a as

1497
01:18:44,600 --> 01:18:46,840
Speaker 1: a player as well, and I think most players do,

1498
01:18:47,760 --> 01:18:50,439
Speaker 1: what was What was I thinking? Why wasn't I here?

1499
01:18:50,439 --> 01:18:52,320
Speaker 1: Why wasn't I you know, why didn't I execute that?

1500
01:18:53,080 --> 01:18:56,920
Speaker 1: And when you start answering yourself the same way, you

1501
01:18:57,000 --> 01:18:59,040
Speaker 1: got to then you just like go, hey a minute,

1502
01:18:59,520 --> 01:19:02,040
Speaker 1: why am I there all the time? And then you

1503
01:19:02,120 --> 01:19:04,360
Speaker 1: got to get you know, creak out and seek out

1504
01:19:04,360 --> 01:19:07,519
Speaker 1: some coaching. Yeah, And that's uh, that's where you're at.

1505
01:19:07,520 --> 01:19:09,600
Speaker 1: And it happens a lot more than people think I

1506
01:19:09,680 --> 01:19:14,439
Speaker 1: in my opinion, but it's only been recently in in

1507
01:19:14,520 --> 01:19:17,679
Speaker 1: this new modern NFL where they've got people on staff

1508
01:19:17,680 --> 01:19:19,840
Speaker 1: that are that are sports psychologists, say well, here's what

1509
01:19:19,880 --> 01:19:21,080
Speaker 1: you need to think about, you know what I mean,

1510
01:19:21,240 --> 01:19:23,439
Speaker 1: help you get into that space and it works.

1511
01:19:24,200 --> 01:19:26,479
Speaker 2: Let's go back to the post practice podium where von

1512
01:19:26,560 --> 01:19:28,479
Speaker 2: Miller is now addressing the media.

1513
01:19:29,640 --> 01:19:30,479
Speaker 13: He was just talking.

1514
01:19:30,280 --> 01:19:33,240
Speaker 14: About like the mindset, like what he's been going through

1515
01:19:33,320 --> 01:19:35,639
Speaker 14: to say that, Lord, what have you seen is he's

1516
01:19:35,680 --> 01:19:37,320
Speaker 14: kind of worked his way through all that.

1517
01:19:38,680 --> 01:19:42,080
Speaker 13: I think he's doing it. You know, he's the same

1518
01:19:42,160 --> 01:19:44,960
Speaker 13: Josh Allen. And that's what you look for in top quarterbacks.

1519
01:19:45,000 --> 01:19:47,080
Speaker 13: Just you want to be even here, whether there's you

1520
01:19:47,400 --> 01:19:49,640
Speaker 13: have a lot of success or you don't have as

1521
01:19:49,720 --> 01:19:52,000
Speaker 13: much success. You want to see a guy that's the

1522
01:19:52,040 --> 01:19:53,200
Speaker 13: same guy each and every day.

1523
01:19:54,120 --> 01:19:55,200
Speaker 1: You know, it's a long season.

1524
01:19:55,280 --> 01:19:57,679
Speaker 11: You can't panic or overreact to ung loss.

1525
01:19:57,720 --> 01:20:00,920
Speaker 13: Like you've said up here many times, but.

1526
01:20:00,160 --> 01:20:04,240
Speaker 11: You know what do you think as a team lead

1527
01:20:04,360 --> 01:20:08,080
Speaker 11: or worse, the message to maybe not pay but pick

1528
01:20:08,120 --> 01:20:08,840
Speaker 11: it up.

1529
01:20:10,880 --> 01:20:11,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean.

1530
01:20:13,800 --> 01:20:16,080
Speaker 13: I know for a fact that everybody in the in

1531
01:20:16,160 --> 01:20:18,439
Speaker 13: this facility, everybody in that locker room, they want to

1532
01:20:18,600 --> 01:20:20,440
Speaker 13: win every single game that we go out.

1533
01:20:20,640 --> 01:20:22,000
Speaker 1: I know the.

1534
01:20:22,000 --> 01:20:24,439
Speaker 13: Mindset and the mentality that we have is to win

1535
01:20:24,520 --> 01:20:26,439
Speaker 13: and to play to the best of our ability every

1536
01:20:26,439 --> 01:20:30,439
Speaker 13: time we go out. So I firmly believe that one

1537
01:20:30,479 --> 01:20:34,080
Speaker 13: hundred of everybody in our locker room has that same mentality.

1538
01:20:34,240 --> 01:20:37,639
Speaker 13: I mean, you know, the game that we lost, it

1539
01:20:37,640 --> 01:20:39,680
Speaker 13: it came down to the to the very very end.

1540
01:20:39,840 --> 01:20:41,400
Speaker 2: So you don't want to overcorrect.

1541
01:20:41,400 --> 01:20:45,519
Speaker 13: And at the same time, you gotta I want to say,

1542
01:20:45,520 --> 01:20:48,040
Speaker 13: crack the whip, because we already have the whip cracked.

1543
01:20:48,080 --> 01:20:48,519
Speaker 1: I feel like.

1544
01:20:48,520 --> 01:20:51,200
Speaker 13: Everybody's individual whip is ready to go. I think everybody

1545
01:20:51,240 --> 01:20:54,479
Speaker 13: is highly motivated to go out there and play great football.

1546
01:20:55,040 --> 01:20:58,000
Speaker 13: You don't want to overcorrect. I just you just want

1547
01:20:58,040 --> 01:21:02,080
Speaker 13: to keep going. We got a great team, still haven't

1548
01:21:02,400 --> 01:21:04,920
Speaker 13: played to the best of our ability yet, and you

1549
01:21:04,960 --> 01:21:07,600
Speaker 13: know that's, uh, that's that's motivating for me. You know,

1550
01:21:07,680 --> 01:21:10,920
Speaker 13: we're we're still in a great position. We've got ten

1551
01:21:11,000 --> 01:21:13,519
Speaker 13: games left in the season. We gotta win, you know,

1552
01:21:13,600 --> 01:21:16,080
Speaker 13: six out of the next seven games, so and then

1553
01:21:16,080 --> 01:21:19,160
Speaker 13: we play so many big dogs along the way, so it's, uh,

1554
01:21:19,439 --> 01:21:20,920
Speaker 13: we're in a good spot. You know, we just gotta

1555
01:21:21,000 --> 01:21:23,559
Speaker 13: keep going and you know, just just keep playing our

1556
01:21:23,600 --> 01:21:24,280
Speaker 13: style of football.

1557
01:21:24,439 --> 01:21:26,400
Speaker 14: You mentioned after the game a couple of times that

1558
01:21:26,680 --> 01:21:28,519
Speaker 14: the short week could maybe be good for this team,

1559
01:21:28,600 --> 01:21:30,360
Speaker 14: just to kind of erase a little bit of what

1560
01:21:30,400 --> 01:21:32,080
Speaker 14: happened Sunday. You still feel that way.

1561
01:21:32,080 --> 01:21:36,479
Speaker 13: Yeah, yeah, it's already gone for me, you know. You know,

1562
01:21:36,560 --> 01:21:38,720
Speaker 13: Sundays our hardest. You know, we got a quick game

1563
01:21:38,720 --> 01:21:42,479
Speaker 13: on Thursday. Today's today's Tuesday, but it's actually Friday for us,

1564
01:21:42,520 --> 01:21:45,200
Speaker 13: So getting ready to play a really good time for

1565
01:21:45,280 --> 01:21:47,080
Speaker 13: Bay team and all our focuses on them with.

1566
01:21:47,200 --> 01:21:50,160
Speaker 14: How are you doing physically? As Sean said, you should

1567
01:21:50,160 --> 01:21:52,320
Speaker 14: be good to go where you're at now?

1568
01:21:52,520 --> 01:21:53,840
Speaker 13: Yeah, I'm I'm I'm good.

1569
01:21:55,120 --> 01:21:55,559
Speaker 1: I'm good.

1570
01:21:55,600 --> 01:21:58,200
Speaker 13: I'm in a good spot out you know, I feel

1571
01:21:58,200 --> 01:21:59,479
Speaker 13: good to go. I feel like this would be my

1572
01:21:59,560 --> 01:22:03,240
Speaker 13: best week you know out there. I'm just ready to

1573
01:22:03,320 --> 01:22:04,760
Speaker 13: keep keep playing football. For sure.

1574
01:22:05,080 --> 01:22:05,920
Speaker 6: If you look at.

1575
01:22:05,880 --> 01:22:08,160
Speaker 16: Your career, and we even talked when you first got here,

1576
01:22:08,200 --> 01:22:09,360
Speaker 16: you play a lot of snaps.

1577
01:22:09,960 --> 01:22:12,760
Speaker 11: What's it like when you're not playing a lot?

1578
01:22:12,920 --> 01:22:15,120
Speaker 16: What's happened like it's a pretty rare thing for you

1579
01:22:15,200 --> 01:22:15,880
Speaker 16: right in your career.

1580
01:22:16,000 --> 01:22:18,000
Speaker 13: Yeah, I mean, I'm an I don't have no pride

1581
01:22:18,040 --> 01:22:20,240
Speaker 13: in this. You know, I came here to win the

1582
01:22:20,240 --> 01:22:22,000
Speaker 13: Super Bowl, so that's all.

1583
01:22:22,200 --> 01:22:24,960
Speaker 1: That's all I already care about. I don't I don't

1584
01:22:24,960 --> 01:22:25,479
Speaker 1: have any pride.

1585
01:22:25,520 --> 01:22:27,439
Speaker 13: I don't want to do is win. I don't want

1586
01:22:27,439 --> 01:22:29,639
Speaker 13: to win. I want to see my my teammates play well.

1587
01:22:29,640 --> 01:22:32,920
Speaker 13: Obviously I want to play well too, but you know,

1588
01:22:33,360 --> 01:22:34,880
Speaker 13: the bottom line is I want to win, and I'm

1589
01:22:34,880 --> 01:22:36,240
Speaker 13: willing to do whatever it takes to win.

1590
01:22:37,439 --> 01:22:41,040
Speaker 18: At the same time, the pass rush didn't really generate

1591
01:22:41,080 --> 01:22:44,599
Speaker 18: as much pressure as it had previously this past week,

1592
01:22:45,120 --> 01:22:47,600
Speaker 18: maybe a bit of inconsistency against the running game. Do

1593
01:22:47,640 --> 01:22:50,400
Speaker 18: you feel this defense needs your presidence at this point?

1594
01:22:52,040 --> 01:22:52,679
Speaker 13: Yeah, I'm here.

1595
01:22:53,040 --> 01:22:53,960
Speaker 1: I'm here, you know.

1596
01:22:54,080 --> 01:22:56,479
Speaker 13: I I think I think my teammates need me. I

1597
01:22:56,760 --> 01:22:59,120
Speaker 13: think this organization needs me to be the type of

1598
01:22:59,120 --> 01:23:01,720
Speaker 13: football player I can and I'm on my way to

1599
01:23:01,880 --> 01:23:05,000
Speaker 13: doing that. You know, does that happen all in one game?

1600
01:23:05,040 --> 01:23:05,240
Speaker 16: You know?

1601
01:23:05,439 --> 01:23:05,880
Speaker 2: Probably not.

1602
01:23:05,960 --> 01:23:07,800
Speaker 13: I mean, I'm I wanted to, you know, I want

1603
01:23:07,800 --> 01:23:10,200
Speaker 13: to go out there and you know, and play how

1604
01:23:10,240 --> 01:23:12,960
Speaker 13: I want to play. But you know, you know, things happening.

1605
01:23:12,960 --> 01:23:13,880
Speaker 2: You just got to keep pushing.

1606
01:23:13,920 --> 01:23:16,920
Speaker 13: I know, for me, I've been I've had to jump

1607
01:23:16,920 --> 01:23:19,479
Speaker 13: over so many different hurdles to get to this position.

1608
01:23:19,479 --> 01:23:20,920
Speaker 13: And I'm still jumping over him now.

1609
01:23:20,960 --> 01:23:21,880
Speaker 1: So this is just my life.

1610
01:23:21,960 --> 01:23:25,720
Speaker 13: I'm comfortable, you know, being uncomfortable, and you know, you

1611
01:23:25,760 --> 01:23:26,960
Speaker 13: got to go in there. There's a whole bunch of

1612
01:23:26,960 --> 01:23:28,679
Speaker 13: one on ones, but I gotta I got a game

1613
01:23:28,680 --> 01:23:30,679
Speaker 13: that I'm playing with myself trying to get back right too,

1614
01:23:30,800 --> 01:23:33,680
Speaker 13: so you know, and I'm gonna win that game that's

1615
01:23:33,720 --> 01:23:35,280
Speaker 13: all on me. And if it's all if it's all

1616
01:23:35,280 --> 01:23:36,720
Speaker 13: on me, you might as well chalk it up as

1617
01:23:36,720 --> 01:23:39,160
Speaker 13: a dub because it's been like that my whole entire career.

1618
01:23:39,280 --> 01:23:41,519
Speaker 13: So I just I just got to keep on working

1619
01:23:41,600 --> 01:23:44,040
Speaker 13: and you know, stay with the same mindset that I've had,

1620
01:23:44,200 --> 01:23:45,640
Speaker 13: you know, all the way up until this point. And

1621
01:23:45,680 --> 01:23:47,960
Speaker 13: I feel like that that it get me through to

1622
01:23:48,520 --> 01:23:51,600
Speaker 13: where I want to be specific.

1623
01:23:51,120 --> 01:23:51,880
Speaker 12: To an A c L.

1624
01:23:52,080 --> 01:23:55,240
Speaker 17: I mean we've talked about it with Trey and others

1625
01:23:55,240 --> 01:23:58,080
Speaker 17: in the path and you've been through this before. I mean,

1626
01:23:58,120 --> 01:24:01,240
Speaker 17: it takes time. There's stuff that rehab doesn't help that,

1627
01:24:01,520 --> 01:24:03,920
Speaker 17: you know, mother nature just has to run its course. Yeah,

1628
01:24:03,920 --> 01:24:07,200
Speaker 17: and so where are you at? And that and like

1629
01:24:07,280 --> 01:24:09,720
Speaker 17: to get that level of comfort and explosiveness back on

1630
01:24:09,760 --> 01:24:11,240
Speaker 17: top of the fact you said, I think after the game,

1631
01:24:11,240 --> 01:24:14,599
Speaker 17: you've had what like three padded practices or whatever. Take

1632
01:24:14,640 --> 01:24:16,920
Speaker 17: me kind of inside that if you can the challenge

1633
01:24:16,960 --> 01:24:18,920
Speaker 17: of coming back from that specific.

1634
01:24:20,600 --> 01:24:23,559
Speaker 13: You know, you know, term of ACL in twenty thirteen

1635
01:24:23,640 --> 01:24:27,960
Speaker 13: and is totally different term of asling two thousand and

1636
01:24:28,520 --> 01:24:29,080
Speaker 13: twenty two.

1637
01:24:29,560 --> 01:24:31,040
Speaker 1: You know, I think back and I was like.

1638
01:24:31,080 --> 01:24:31,559
Speaker 3: Man I was.

1639
01:24:32,800 --> 01:24:34,240
Speaker 13: I was like, man, I came back at ACT had

1640
01:24:34,240 --> 01:24:36,600
Speaker 13: in ten months. I'm like, whoa in two thousand and

1641
01:24:37,240 --> 01:24:40,080
Speaker 13: fourteen twenty thirteen, I'm like, bro, that's you know, that

1642
01:24:40,200 --> 01:24:42,880
Speaker 13: was insane, and I still had the same mindset. Now

1643
01:24:42,920 --> 01:24:47,160
Speaker 13: it's just not you know, working out how I wanted to.

1644
01:24:47,600 --> 01:24:50,400
Speaker 13: I still feel like I'm taking huge jumps and huge

1645
01:24:50,400 --> 01:24:52,880
Speaker 13: steps every single today. I feel like this is my

1646
01:24:52,920 --> 01:24:54,840
Speaker 13: best practice when we was out there, just you know,

1647
01:24:54,920 --> 01:24:57,599
Speaker 13: walking around and running around. So it has its upsent

1648
01:24:57,680 --> 01:24:59,720
Speaker 13: ace downs, and you just got to keep pushing. I've

1649
01:24:59,720 --> 01:25:01,880
Speaker 13: been through so many different injuries before, and you know

1650
01:25:01,920 --> 01:25:04,040
Speaker 13: it's the same as It's the same as those. You

1651
01:25:04,120 --> 01:25:06,200
Speaker 13: just got to keep pushing. And I do see light

1652
01:25:06,240 --> 01:25:07,479
Speaker 13: at the end of the tunnel. I just got to

1653
01:25:07,520 --> 01:25:08,280
Speaker 13: keep working towards it.

1654
01:25:09,520 --> 01:25:12,800
Speaker 2: So Vaughn said he had his best practice today. He's

1655
01:25:12,840 --> 01:25:15,040
Speaker 2: ready to go for Thursday night and he thinks it'll

1656
01:25:15,080 --> 01:25:19,920
Speaker 2: be his best game. Now we know Vaon's a guy

1657
01:25:19,920 --> 01:25:24,560
Speaker 2: that likes to speak things into existence, but that's a

1658
01:25:24,600 --> 01:25:27,080
Speaker 2: confident person speaking there. At least that's how it came

1659
01:25:27,080 --> 01:25:30,759
Speaker 2: across to me. Now, what's realistic, I don't.

1660
01:25:30,600 --> 01:25:34,120
Speaker 1: Know, right, and I think if anything is going to

1661
01:25:34,120 --> 01:25:35,760
Speaker 1: be gleaned from that is maybe he gets more than

1662
01:25:35,760 --> 01:25:39,439
Speaker 1: six snaps. He's planning on that, right, so perhaps that's

1663
01:25:39,640 --> 01:25:43,320
Speaker 1: an maybe that's a telltale sign of him playing a

1664
01:25:43,320 --> 01:25:47,200
Speaker 1: little bit more this week. But even that, yeah, it was.

1665
01:25:47,200 --> 01:25:50,599
Speaker 2: I think people found it strange. He plays twenty snaps

1666
01:25:50,600 --> 01:25:55,920
Speaker 2: against Jacksonville, twenty seven against the Giants six last week

1667
01:25:55,960 --> 01:25:58,599
Speaker 2: against New England coach McDermot. When he was asked about

1668
01:25:58,600 --> 01:26:02,599
Speaker 2: it yesterday, kind of gave indication we have to manage

1669
01:26:02,600 --> 01:26:06,120
Speaker 2: that better. I'm not sure what that means. I do

1670
01:26:06,240 --> 01:26:09,280
Speaker 2: know that he came out of the locker room after

1671
01:26:09,360 --> 01:26:11,719
Speaker 2: halftime with just a ball cap on and no helmet,

1672
01:26:12,880 --> 01:26:16,400
Speaker 2: and I don't believe he ever got on the field

1673
01:26:16,400 --> 01:26:19,599
Speaker 2: in the second half, and you know, with only six

1674
01:26:19,720 --> 01:26:22,240
Speaker 2: and we can understand that. So what does the number

1675
01:26:22,280 --> 01:26:24,080
Speaker 2: you think look like this week, Steve? Do you think

1676
01:26:24,080 --> 01:26:24,639
Speaker 2: it's thirty?

1677
01:26:25,000 --> 01:26:27,320
Speaker 1: You think we're back on one where we were plus

1678
01:26:27,520 --> 01:26:31,320
Speaker 1: twenty plus for sure? And I think I think one

1679
01:26:31,320 --> 01:26:35,760
Speaker 1: of the things that I saw a clip online of

1680
01:26:36,120 --> 01:26:38,719
Speaker 1: him finishing a play in the first half and seemed

1681
01:26:38,760 --> 01:26:40,439
Speaker 1: like for a second to be have a hitch in

1682
01:26:40,479 --> 01:26:43,479
Speaker 1: his gidea up, like he tweaked something and it didn't

1683
01:26:43,479 --> 01:26:45,759
Speaker 1: seem like it was the knee that had been injured

1684
01:26:45,760 --> 01:26:49,640
Speaker 1: in something like an ankle or something. And once you

1685
01:26:50,080 --> 01:26:53,200
Speaker 1: give a whiff of that, like Vaughan's got a little tweak,

1686
01:26:53,240 --> 01:26:56,280
Speaker 1: and you know you can you can see Sean mcgi

1687
01:26:56,760 --> 01:27:02,479
Speaker 1: shut him down, like immediately, this is yeah, that I

1688
01:27:02,520 --> 01:27:04,880
Speaker 1: could see that happening. So and he comes out today,

1689
01:27:04,880 --> 01:27:06,200
Speaker 1: he's fine, He's like, let's go.

1690
01:27:07,160 --> 01:27:09,559
Speaker 2: Break time for us, Steve, and I close this thing out,

1691
01:27:09,560 --> 01:27:11,240
Speaker 2: maybe with a couple of final thoughts on the tweet

1692
01:27:11,240 --> 01:27:13,960
Speaker 2: sheet here when we return on one Bill's Live presented

1693
01:27:13,960 --> 01:27:30,280
Speaker 2: by Colida Health, It's Buffalo Bill's Radio, all right. On

1694
01:27:30,320 --> 01:27:33,360
Speaker 2: the tweet sheet, FUCA Junior says the Bills should aggressively

1695
01:27:33,439 --> 01:27:36,360
Speaker 2: pursue Davonte Adams. The Raiders said they won't trade because

1696
01:27:36,360 --> 01:27:38,360
Speaker 2: they haven't gotten a good enough offer yet. Adams and

1697
01:27:38,360 --> 01:27:40,320
Speaker 2: Digs are two of the top five receivers in the league,

1698
01:27:40,320 --> 01:27:41,840
Speaker 2: and we could potentially have two of the best on

1699
01:27:41,880 --> 01:27:44,160
Speaker 2: the same team. No, the reason the Raiders are not

1700
01:27:44,200 --> 01:27:47,599
Speaker 2: trading Devonte Adams is he's a fifty four million dollar

1701
01:27:47,680 --> 01:27:50,320
Speaker 2: cap hit. That's why they're not trading him. So that's

1702
01:27:50,360 --> 01:27:53,639
Speaker 2: not happening, Eli, says guard. It feels like every pass

1703
01:27:53,640 --> 01:27:55,760
Speaker 2: pressure is coming from the interior and Josh has to

1704
01:27:55,840 --> 01:27:59,240
Speaker 2: escape before making a play. Hard to find good offensive

1705
01:27:59,280 --> 01:28:03,639
Speaker 2: linemen this time year, Billy says, linebacker. I like Williams,

1706
01:28:03,720 --> 01:28:05,479
Speaker 2: but he's been benched two games in a row. We

1707
01:28:05,560 --> 01:28:07,559
Speaker 2: know what we have in Dotson and aj Klein, and

1708
01:28:07,600 --> 01:28:10,639
Speaker 2: it's not great Specter's fresh off ir and nursing a hammy.

1709
01:28:11,200 --> 01:28:16,240
Speaker 2: Linebacker is the way it's hard to replace Milano. That

1710
01:28:16,439 --> 01:28:19,000
Speaker 2: that's really a tall task and that's and that's the

1711
01:28:19,040 --> 01:28:19,519
Speaker 2: main issue.

1712
01:28:19,520 --> 01:28:22,840
Speaker 1: And I'm maybe you're well more well versed than I am.

1713
01:28:22,920 --> 01:28:26,599
Speaker 1: I'm who what linebacker? Who's going to be exactly? Yeah,

1714
01:28:26,680 --> 01:28:28,040
Speaker 1: who's it going to be? I don't know how You're

1715
01:28:28,200 --> 01:28:28,960
Speaker 1: it's a hard thing.

1716
01:28:29,479 --> 01:28:31,200
Speaker 4: There's a drop off there, there's no debate.

1717
01:28:32,320 --> 01:28:34,360
Speaker 1: We'll never get it. But i'd love to have Brandon

1718
01:28:34,400 --> 01:28:36,880
Speaker 1: Bean say, you know what, what are you really thinking about?

1719
01:28:36,880 --> 01:28:39,439
Speaker 1: Because they got we talked about this early in the show.

1720
01:28:39,640 --> 01:28:43,880
Speaker 1: They've got specific parameters for guys. They're looking at whether

1721
01:28:43,920 --> 01:28:46,280
Speaker 1: it at all of the positions we're mentioning in probably

1722
01:28:46,280 --> 01:28:48,719
Speaker 1: a couple of others. They want a guy young or old,

1723
01:28:49,120 --> 01:28:52,080
Speaker 1: they'll they'll have that in the profile. They have certain size,

1724
01:28:52,120 --> 01:28:54,320
Speaker 1: physical attributes, and he's got to have the right money,

1725
01:28:54,320 --> 01:28:55,920
Speaker 1: fit and he's got to be available.

1726
01:28:57,000 --> 01:28:59,519
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a that is.

1727
01:28:59,520 --> 01:29:03,720
Speaker 1: A horrid hoop to jump through. Now, certainly there are

1728
01:29:03,760 --> 01:29:06,280
Speaker 1: some teams with some guys and there dump a guy.

1729
01:29:06,360 --> 01:29:09,040
Speaker 1: Certainly that's maybe him being available is not the problem.

1730
01:29:09,080 --> 01:29:11,320
Speaker 1: But his money's got to be right, his age, and

1731
01:29:11,360 --> 01:29:15,200
Speaker 1: his physical attributes have to be right, and that's not easy.

1732
01:29:15,439 --> 01:29:19,360
Speaker 2: Yeah. The Thursday or sorry Tuesday injury report has come out.

1733
01:29:19,720 --> 01:29:23,559
Speaker 2: Limited participants for the Bills, Von Miller, Ed Oliver, and

1734
01:29:23,680 --> 01:29:27,920
Speaker 2: Jordan Phillips, all defensive linemen. Quentin Morrison Dawson Knox, both

1735
01:29:27,960 --> 01:29:31,120
Speaker 2: at tight end, did not practice. We know Knox is

1736
01:29:31,120 --> 01:29:34,599
Speaker 2: out because he's getting rist surgery. Baylen Spector the only

1737
01:29:34,640 --> 01:29:38,200
Speaker 2: other non participant due to a hamstring injury suffered in

1738
01:29:38,320 --> 01:29:41,640
Speaker 2: last week's game. Yeah, everybody else is full to go,

1739
01:29:41,800 --> 01:29:45,720
Speaker 2: though that was on the injury report. So more to

1740
01:29:45,840 --> 01:29:49,080
Speaker 2: come tomorrow, Steve and I'll have the Hall of Famer

1741
01:29:49,120 --> 01:29:51,120
Speaker 2: Therman Thomas in here with us. We'll see it won
