4
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:26,480
Speaker 1: step back this year should paint dividends down the road.

5
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:28,440
Speaker 1: The end of the line is a building block for

6
00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:31,520
Speaker 1: the future, with a final brick going in place today.

00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 1: on the schedule, the end of a losing season, and

34
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:01,960

Speaker 1: all year long, lots of hope. Yesterday the Bills with

36
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:07,920

37
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 1: Rewind presented by Toshiba, the official copy or company of

38
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. And good afternoon, everybody. Happy New Year, everybody,

39
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:16,359
Speaker 1: And it feels like a good day to celebrate the

40
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,640
Speaker 1: new year, John Murphy and Steve Tasker here in our

41
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 1: one Buffalo studio. Yesterday's win made him feel like many

42
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:24,239
Speaker 1: Bills fans are thinking, like, I can't wait till the

43
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 1: new year for this. I can't wait for the next

44
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:27,639
Speaker 1: season the way they played yesterday. And it's the same

45
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 1: thing the whole second half of the season when Josh

46
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 1: started playing, when he got injured, he came back. Man,

47
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:35,079
Speaker 1: you wanted to watch him play every day. It was

48
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 1: a lot of fun. I heard some guys on Twitter,

49
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 1: our friend Brian Baldinger had some things out on social

50
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 1: media last night, and you know, they go back, all

51
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 1: these guys go back and look at all these young quarterbacks.

52
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:48,360
Speaker 1: And he had nothing but glowing things to say about

53
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 1: what Josh Allen did. He called him the best player

54
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 1: on the field for either team. Yeah, and you watched

55
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 1: that game, you gotta think he's pretty much right. Josh

56
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 1: kind of took that game over much like he did

57
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 1: in Miami the first time around, And it was fun

58
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 1: to watch. It was and in the home state, and

59
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 1: the guy through for three and for two. He broke

60
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 1: up the game. I mean, he was a wrecking machine.

61
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:13,519
Speaker 1: It was great. It was great to watch. I will

62
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 1: say I feel badly that you had to work your

63
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:19,239
Speaker 1: CBS gig because you missed a really fun day. I

64
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,519
Speaker 1: saw the stuff about Kyle his last game, and you

65
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:24,240
Speaker 1: know what, I and we talked about this a little

66
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:27,359
Speaker 1: bit before. It's hard for an organization to get it

67
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 1: right like that, and first of all, to work with

68
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:33,119
Speaker 1: the player to let to have him, let the team

69
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 1: make the announcement, to have a little press gone, let him,

70
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 1: let him get it out there. There's gonna be his

71
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 1: last game for that. Let him, you know, introduce him

72
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 1: in a special way for the coaching staff to you know,

73
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 1: give him a pass catch, uh, give him a reception

74
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 1: to end his career. Um, call it time out to him,

75
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 1: call a time out to let him have a final

76
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 1: You know they did that for me when I was here.

77
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 1: I was the guy that came in on the field

78
00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 1: after James Lofton broke the all time receptions record. I

79
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 1: was the guy that came in as I was the

80
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 1: guy they called the time out and I went in

81
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 1: and substituted for James Lofton. When they did that when

82
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 1: Marv was here that it's not easy to hit all

83
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 1: those notes for an organization, and I'm glad that the

84
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 1: Bills did that. Wanted to do that, Sean McDermot, I'm

85
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 1: sure played a large role in it, but the organization

86
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 1: got behind it and did everything just the right way.

87
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 1: And I think the fans appreciate it. I know Kyle

88
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:31,600
Speaker 1: appreciated it. The team appreciated it, and it was nice

89
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 1: to see because teams don't always get that right, and

90
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 1: I think the Bills did yesterday. And of course the

91
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:39,480
Speaker 1: circumstances of the game allowed them to get a lot

92
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 1: of that right, coming up with a big lead and

93
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 1: being able to run a few of those plays. You know,

94
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:46,480
Speaker 1: it was just a perfect ending to a season. Not

95
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 1: a perfect season by any means, Steve, but a perfect

96
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 1: way to end that season on many respects. I had

97
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:53,600
Speaker 1: my twenty five year old niece was over at the

98
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:55,920
Speaker 1: house last night. She's not a huge football fan, but

99
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 1: she follows the Bills. Went to the game yesterday. She

100
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 1: was telling me afterwards, she said, Uncle John, it was

101
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 1: like it was like going to a really good movie

102
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 1: that they had everything you had, You had kisses, you

103
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 1: had fights, you had love, you had screaming at each other.

104
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 1: You had you know, an early lead, early lead for

105
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 1: the Bills that got away. Now it's tied and they

106
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 1: had to come back and do it again. There was drama,

107
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 1: there was excitement. It was like the perfect script for

108
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:23,040
Speaker 1: a really good NFL football game. That a meaningless game.

109
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 1: Obviously that they had great meaning for Bills fans, meaning

110
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:29,799
Speaker 1: for Kyle Williams and Kyle Williams fans, meaning for Bills

111
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 1: fans who look forward to the future, meaning a tremendous

112
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 1: amount of meaning for those who look at Josh Allen

113
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:36,720
Speaker 1: and wonder how he's going to be in a second year.

114
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 1: I think it was. It was frought. It was overflowing

115
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 1: with significance and meaning for a meaningless regular season finale game.

116
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 1: And apparently it held a lot of meaning for the

117
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 1: Dolphins too. They didn't show it was a culture win.

118
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:52,160
Speaker 1: The Bills showed up in a meaningless game. Certainly they

119
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 1: had extra incentive with Kyle retiring, but they used it

120
00:05:56,680 --> 00:06:03,040
Speaker 1: and absolutely mopped up the stadium with the Dolphins. I

121
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 1: mean that Dolphins. They got to pick six on it

122
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 1: from a you know, from from Josh that kept him

123
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:09,480
Speaker 1: in the game in the first half, got him back

124
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:11,360
Speaker 1: into it. They put together one drive the whole game

125
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 1: and that was it. And the Bills absolutely thumped them

126
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 1: and their coach got fired. As a contributing factors had

127
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:22,720
Speaker 1: to be from the way they played yesterday. They didn't

128
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:25,799
Speaker 1: show up. Their culture didn't stand up to a season

129
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:27,720
Speaker 1: that didn't go exactly the way they wanted it to go.

130
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 1: The Bill's culture did h and you got to tip

131
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 1: your hat to Sean McDermott and and Brandon Bean for

132
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 1: having that in place. This is a team that played really,

133
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 1: really hard for this coaching staff when the the last

134
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 1: two or three, four, whatever it was that they were

135
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:45,039
Speaker 1: out of the playoffs. Uh, there's something to be said

136
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 1: for that. It showed up in a big way yesterday

137
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,040
Speaker 1: and these you know, these games matter, they count, and

138
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 1: these players acted like it. And I you know, you

139
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:57,719
Speaker 1: got to nod your head to that. A division opponent

140
00:06:57,839 --> 00:06:59,600
Speaker 1: that is going to have a new head coach. Two

141
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 1: teams in the division you're gonna have new head coaches

142
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 1: next year. It remains to be seen where that leaves

143
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills, but you know, there's a lot to

144
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 1: be excited about in the way that game went yesterday.

145
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 1: A lot to talk about today too, and we're here

146

00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 1: Fred Jackson, who covers the game for the Bills tonight show.

160
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 1: He'll be joining us a little bit later on, around

161

Speaker 1: two thirty or so today. So a lot going on.

162
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 1: We're gonna hear from a lot of the Bills, but

163
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 1: we want to hear from you. We want to hear

164
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 1: from you about our topic of the day. What did

165
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 1: Sunday's win over the doll tell us about the Buffalo

166
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 1: Bills future? What do you think? What do you take

167
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 1: from that game? We leave it wide open, not a

168
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 1: poll today, but give us your thoughts. What did yesterday's

169
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 1: win tell us about the future of the Bills? What

170
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 1: they need, what they have? I think Steve makes a

171
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 1: solid point about the culture of the team. Look, this

172
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 1: is a team that has said a standard for how

173
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 1: they perform. And I don't think you could say that

174
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 1: about the Dolphins yesterday or many other teams in the

175
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 1: NFL yesterday. But under Sean McDermott, this Buffalo Bills team

176
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 1: seems to have a standard, Steve below which they very

177
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 1: rarely will go in order to play, regardless of what

178
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 1: others may think about the meaning in each game. So

179
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:39,040
Speaker 1: what does yesterday's win mean to you? And what is

180
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 1: to tell you about the future of the team? About

181
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 1: the quarterback, About the first round pick at linebacker on

182
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 1: the other side of the ball he had his best game.

183
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:48,559
Speaker 1: About the former first round pick Chack Lawson, who probably

184
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 1: had his best game in the NFL yesterday. But you

185
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:53,400
Speaker 1: tell us what do you take from it. What did

186
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:55,679
Speaker 1: Sunday's win over the Bills tell us about the future

187
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:57,839
Speaker 1: of the Bills? Got phone lines open eight oh three

188
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:01,439
Speaker 1: oh five fifty and toll free one eight fifty two

189
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 1: five fifty, or you can tweet it in at one

190
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 1: Bill's Live. No right answers here, Just give us your thoughts.

191
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:08,320
Speaker 1: What did yesterday's winning with the Dolphins tell us about

192
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 1: the Bill's future? Yeah, I was really encouraged by and

193
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 1: I think there's no question I fall into the category

194
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 1: of the people who think Josh is going to be really,

195
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 1: really good. I don't know that he's going to be

196
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 1: the greatest old time quarterback in the history of the league.

197
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 1: Probably not. You see a couple of throws over there,

198
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:25,559
Speaker 1: they're like, what are you doing? And he'll probably do

199
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 1: that this whole career. Andrew Luck did it last night.

200
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 1: He's still doing it. There are guys that have that.

201
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 1: But you know what, this guy, Josh makes the defense

202
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 1: defend the entire field every play. They're spread really thin.

203
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 1: He's got the athleticism to make him pay with his legs.

204
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:44,440
Speaker 1: He can make any throw and he'll try a lot

205
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 1: of throws. Now certainly he throws one into the dirt

206
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:48,200
Speaker 1: once in a while when you think, Wow, what an

207
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 1: easy completion it would have been. But for the most part,

208
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 1: this guy, this young rookie quarterback, put this offense on

209
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:59,560
Speaker 1: his back and carried it. Yesterday he absolutely dominated the game.

210
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:04,319
Speaker 1: And I think it's my hope, and I don't know

211
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 1: if it's gonna happen, that when he gets more help

212
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:08,959
Speaker 1: around him, when his offensive line gets better, when his

213
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:11,079
Speaker 1: running game gets better, he won't have to do that

214
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 1: that often. He won't have to be the guy that

215
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 1: turns into the you know, like I always say, he

216
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 1: looks like the fifteen year old playing with twelve year olds.

217
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:20,320
Speaker 1: He doesn't have to do that anymore. He'll be able

218
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:22,719
Speaker 1: to stand back there and run an offense instead of

219
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 1: being the offense. And when that happens, this is a

220
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:29,319
Speaker 1: team that will play better complimentary football. They'll score points

221
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 1: more consistently, they'll be better in situational football. Everything will

222
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 1: get better when Josh gets some helps and some help

223
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 1: on that side of the ball, and he won't have

224
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 1: to do it all himself. It's it's I think he's

225
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 1: gonna be really good for a really long time. Defensively,

226
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:47,959
Speaker 1: they were a top two defense in the league in

227
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 1: total yards given up in total defensive ranking, they were

228
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 1: number one against the past number seven against the run.

229
00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 1: I would like to see him next year just be

230
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 1: a top ten defense, but have twice as many turnovers

231
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 1: as they were able to get this year. I think

232
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:05,560
Speaker 1: that was the big difference this year. They weren't They

233
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:09,199
Speaker 1: were a great defense, but they weren't a spectacular defense

234
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:11,199
Speaker 1: because of the turnovers they weren't able to get. And

235
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:13,079
Speaker 1: a little bit of that was a function of the

236
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:15,720
Speaker 1: offense that they were playing with. Teams didn't take risks.

237
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,439
Speaker 1: They weren't didn't put the ball in risky positions because

238
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:22,320
Speaker 1: they weren't trailing a lot because the Bills couldn't score points.

239
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 1: Yesterday you saw what happens. Bill start hanging some points

240
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 1: up and the Dolphins were forced to respond and they

241
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:30,839
Speaker 1: started putting the ball at risk and it cost them.

242
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 1: When the offense gets better, the defense will get more turnovers.

243
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 1: And it's that simple. So it's there's a lot in there, man.

244
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 1: I was telling you, m if we got a lot

245
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 1: of stuff going on. We got some guests coming in.

246
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk to see some sound from the guys

247
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:44,319
Speaker 1: in the locker. Room cleaning the locker. Like you and

248
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 1: I could talk about that game yesterday for three hours,

249
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 1: just the two of us, I'd be happy to. I

250
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 1: mean that that game was something else. They hung forty

251
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:55,679
Speaker 1: two points on the Dolphins. The fight was awesome. I mean,

252
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:58,840
Speaker 1: I Buttker needs a game ball for being the first

253
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:01,839
Speaker 1: guy in on Kiko. Uh. Keko needed to get his

254
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:05,319
Speaker 1: you know, get a body part separated. You know he

255
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 1: did and uh uh he deserved it. And it was

256
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:13,440
Speaker 1: interesting too. Burlin Stinger said, Keko told him he's gonna

257
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:16,120
Speaker 1: do it in the in the production meetings. He was

258
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 1: gonna listen, when Josh puts some target, I'm taking a

259
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:23,440
Speaker 1: shot at him. So uh, I don't know that there'll

260
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 1: be some repercussions from the league. He may be suspended

261
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 1: for a game next year at the beginning of the season, whatever.

262
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:32,080
Speaker 1: But that was uh. He's a repeat offender, down too

263
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:34,600
Speaker 1: right three times last year and he did he did

264
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 1: to Flacco, he did it too Andrew Luck this year

265
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:41,839
Speaker 1: and you know, bless I Butcker's heart for going in

266
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 1: there and diving in on top of that and the

267
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:44,840
Speaker 1: rest of the guys coming in. I don't know how

268
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 1: Jordan Mills got got Yeah, Robert Sims holding on to

269
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 1: his helmet, his face mask. Yeah, and somehow and uh,

270
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:58,240
Speaker 1: you know, Mills, and you got guys piling in there too,

271
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:01,199
Speaker 1: and I don't you know, you know, he's trying to

272
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:03,839
Speaker 1: they're trying to pull the guys apart. Who knows what

273
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 1: the officials saw, but you know that's what you gotta do.

274
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you what I tell the story of

275
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:13,559
Speaker 1: People have probably heard it a lot of you. Jim

276
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 1: Kelly's first game against the New York Jets in nineteen

277
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:18,839
Speaker 1: eighty six. He was the franchise quarterback. They brought him in.

278
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:20,439
Speaker 1: None of the guys knew who he was. He held

279
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 1: out until a week before the game. Early in the

280
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 1: game or midway through the game. I don't know if

281
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 1: you remember this. Murph Gastino jumped off side and whacked

282
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:31,079
Speaker 1: him in the mouth, knocked him right on his on

283
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:33,839
Speaker 1: his tail, and there wasn't even a snap, and the

284
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 1: Bills guys just stood up and looked at it. Right. Yeah,

285
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 1: they didn't know what to do. That's the kind of

286
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 1: team he kind of came into. That's why that's how

287
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 1: far the Bills had fallen. Well, think about what would

288
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 1: have happened. If that would have happened ten years later,

289
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 1: you know, the benches would It's like Kelso on the

290
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 1: on the radio yesterday, he said, the benches would have cleared,

291
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 1: There would have been there would have been some bloodshed

292
00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 1: over that, because you don't do that to your quarterback.

293
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 1: She's already done it now. It's he's the point now

294
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:03,679
Speaker 1: where the team's rising up. They know what kind of

295
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:05,439
Speaker 1: guy they've got and they're going to protect him for it.

296
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:08,079
Speaker 1: That's where the team is. They're they're progressing down the

297
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 1: road of having some guys that means something to the

298
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 1: guys in that locker room, and that's important. And I

299
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 1: thought it was pretty cool to see, even though in

300
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:16,760
Speaker 1: the midst of a kind of an ugly play, it

301
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 1: was an amazing game with the chock full of issues

302
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 1: and good omens for next year. It's awesome. It was

303
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:25,680
Speaker 1: an awesome game, maybe the most fun game of the

304
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:27,960
Speaker 1: year so far for the Buffalo Bills. Hope you were there,

305
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 1: Hope you got a chance to enjoy it somehow, either

306
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:32,480
Speaker 1: in the stadium, on the radio, maybe you watched on TV.

307
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 1: Bills were talking about it in the locker room afterwards.

308
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:37,520
Speaker 1: It was also, the Kyle Williams retirement came and that

309
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:39,720
Speaker 1: was a big topic of discussion. Let's sear what they

310
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:41,680
Speaker 1: were saying. Let's go around the locker room. It's presented

313
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 1: go around the locker room. Defensive tackle Kyle Williams his

314
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:55,400
Speaker 1: thoughts in the tunnel as he made his way out

315
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:57,800
Speaker 1: to the field for the final time. I couldn't believe

316
00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:01,840
Speaker 1: they're making me run out by myself. Um. Uh, you

317
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 1: know I was. I've used the words grateful a few

318
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 1: times this week, and those are my true feelings, you know,

319
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 1: just really really grateful for the opportunity I've been here.

320
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:16,200
Speaker 1: Um And in that moment, you know, I was grateful.

321
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 1: And then I get at past the past the goalpost

322
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 1: and I see my family and I lost it. Uh.

323
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 1: So I think I'm fairly certain that that's the first

324
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 1: time I've openly boo hooed inside the cage of a

325
00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:35,600
Speaker 1: football helmet. So uh, and it'll be the last. So

326
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:39,280
Speaker 1: first and last happened today. But um, just grateful, grateful

327
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:43,720

Speaker 1: You know, when I first got drafted here, you know,

335
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 1: I was just you know, infatuated with what he was.

336
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:11,840
Speaker 1: Five time pro bowler, starter, thirteen years in one place,

337
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 1: all these big contracts. UM. And got to know him more,

338
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:18,160

339
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:20,080
Speaker 1: know that you know I'm coming in. How's this whole

340
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 1: thing gonna be? Kind of refeared him. Um, it was

341
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 1: just infatuated, always kind of looking at him, trying to

342
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 1: eavesdrop and everything he said. He always would look at

343
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:29,400
Speaker 1: me and I'd be staring at him. He's like, what

344
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 1: the hell? This Gid's weird? You know, he's He's just infatuation.

345
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 1: And the more I got to know him, Um, the

346
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:38,120
Speaker 1: longer I got to be around him, Uh, that infatuation

347
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:42,000
Speaker 1: turned into admiration and I admire the guy. Um and

348
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:44,520
Speaker 1: everything he's done for me, everything he's done for this team,

349
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:48,280
Speaker 1: for the city, for his family. Um, I mean I

350
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:51,760
Speaker 1: just I just admire him completely and that that Soascar fear,

351
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 1: I guess turned into respect. Defensive ent Jerry us Coyle

352
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,240
Speaker 1: William's reception. You know me, I would have loved to

353
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:00,040
Speaker 1: see Kyle make a couple more moves you now, I

354
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 1: would maybe if he could have reversed the field a

355
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:03,960
Speaker 1: little bit, you know, kept the ball going. But I

356
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:06,280
Speaker 1: know it's tough running the ball, man, he probably gets tired.

357
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:08,239
Speaker 1: But now it's a perfect send off for him. I mean,

358
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:11,920
Speaker 1: the fans rally behind us during this game, you know,

359
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:14,199
Speaker 1: they get us a lot of energy on defensive uh

360
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:16,080
Speaker 1: do a lot of three and outs, which was a

361
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:18,119
Speaker 1: lot of fun. And just to be out there on

362
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:21,119
Speaker 1: the field with him playing the games. I love a

363
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 1: lot of fun at Coach jar McDermott on Kyle Williams's

364
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:27,800
Speaker 1: final game with the Bill. You know, I said it

365
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:30,360
Speaker 1: to the team when you when you look up um

366
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:35,240
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills in an addictionary, you're gonna see Kyle's picture

367
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 1: in there. That's what that's what he's all about. That's

368
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:40,560
Speaker 1: a world about and the team did a great job

369
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:43,919
Speaker 1: today making sure that he got to win. And and uh,

370
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:46,119
Speaker 1: he's a team player. You know. You go all the

371
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:47,720
Speaker 1: way back to the beginning part of the week when

372
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:50,879
Speaker 1: he had a conversation with me and he didn't want

373
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:53,920
Speaker 1: anybody else to know he in particular the team until

374
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:55,879
Speaker 1: late in the week because he didn't want it to

375
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:58,879
Speaker 1: be a distraction to the team. Um. So just you know,

376
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:01,639
Speaker 1: he's just a team guy through and through. Really prisonifies

377
00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:05,960
Speaker 1: what Buffalo is all about. Quarterback Josh Allen. The Bills

378
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:08,760
Speaker 1: went four for four in the red zone. I mean,

379
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:10,639
Speaker 1: we had a mindset today. We wanted to get the

380
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 1: ball in the end zone. We want to get there

381
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 1: you know early, and you know, force them to you know,

382
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:18,600
Speaker 1: place and catch up. So to say, um, you know,

383
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:20,360
Speaker 1: when we got down there and we put our head down,

384
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:23,920
Speaker 1: our offensive line did an amazing job. M receivers made

385
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:27,200
Speaker 1: some plays. And when you guys, when you got you know,

386
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:29,040
Speaker 1: eleving guys on the field striving to do the one

387
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:31,160
Speaker 1: thing in the red zone, Um, you know, good things

388
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:34,400
Speaker 1: tend to happen. Linebacker Tremaine Edmonds. He used his long

389
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:37,680
Speaker 1: wingspan on his interception. Yeah, I mean it's it's to

390
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:39,440
Speaker 1: my advantage, and you know, I'm gonna use it to

391
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:42,200
Speaker 1: my advantage. Up, I'm as I continue to grow, I

392
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:44,399
Speaker 1: think it's just gonna help me out even more, you know, definitely,

393
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:46,040
Speaker 1: you know when I'm still you know, when I continue

394
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:48,440
Speaker 1: to play faster and faster, you know, my lymp is

395
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:50,600
Speaker 1: just gonna come into you know. Uh, like I said,

396
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:52,159
Speaker 1: it's gonna be my adventage. What did you see in

397
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:55,440
Speaker 1: that thing on which you want the interception? Yeah, so,

398
00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 1: I mean we was pretty much just droped back in

399
00:18:57,680 --> 00:18:59,600
Speaker 1: my zone, really didn't have no work to my way.

400
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 1: So I Conna was just reading the Quarteback's hoss, so

401
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 1: I kind of cheated to it. I mean, the dominated

402
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:08,920
Speaker 1: film the ball quo back Patrick Jamarco, what does yesterday's

403
00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 1: win say about the future of the Buffalo build? We're

404
00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:13,960
Speaker 1: building some special here and so it's kind of what

405
00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:17,240
Speaker 1: Chris mcdormason preaching out it out, but the whole team

406
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 1: believes it. So you know, watching Josh too, what he

407
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:22,560
Speaker 1: did is super encouraging, and you know, I think there's

408
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:26,600
Speaker 1: great things to add to this organization. After Jamarco around

409
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:27,960
Speaker 1: the locker room with the rest of him. Brought to

410
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:31,080
Speaker 1: you by United Substate New York Transplanting Services think he's right.

411
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:33,560
Speaker 1: I think anybody there yesterday Steve would acknowledge they are

412
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:36,480
Speaker 1: building something special here. And it was a big step

413
00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 1: forward yesterday and a great step for the goodbye to

414
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:41,760
Speaker 1: Kyle Williams. That could not have gone better. The game

415
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:45,200
Speaker 1: was set up right for it, but the team coach McDermott,

416
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:47,080
Speaker 1: I think leading the way got it absolutely right. The

417
00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 1: way to honor count Kyle Williams in his last game, yeah,

418
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:53,200
Speaker 1: absolutely right down to his family being out there to

419
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:55,680
Speaker 1: welcome him onto the field. That's you don't see that.

420
00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 1: You don't see that at all. You don't see it

421
00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:02,120
Speaker 1: at all. And I'm I'm really happy with the organization

422
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:04,120
Speaker 1: that they got that right and they made that effort

423
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:06,960
Speaker 1: and they said let's let's do this, and and I

424
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:09,160
Speaker 1: get it too that it was and it worked out

425
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:13,040
Speaker 1: correctly in a number of different ways. One unfortunately it

426
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 1: wasn't for a playoffs but it wasn't a game that

427
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:16,720
Speaker 1: was really meaningful where they're trying to get all this

428
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:18,560
Speaker 1: stuff in there for a game where people want to

429
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:20,040
Speaker 1: see your team get in the playoffs or have a

430
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 1: playoff game. The game got out of hand in the

431
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:25,719
Speaker 1: Bill's favor, which allowed them to do some things at

432
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:28,359
Speaker 1: the end of the game were substituting for him, where

433
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:31,960
Speaker 1: the team knelt down before you know, before they turned

434
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:34,240
Speaker 1: it over on downs, even to get the defense back

435
00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:39,240
Speaker 1: on the field throwing the football to him. It's just

436
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:42,440
Speaker 1: great on a so many different levels of both the

437
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:45,120
Speaker 1: coaching staff and also the organization giving him the chance

438
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:47,160
Speaker 1: to be introduced, and having some guys on the video

439
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:51,159
Speaker 1: screen as well, a lot of good things. And you know,

440
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:53,640
Speaker 1: you can't say enough about how that day went yesterday,

441
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:56,520
Speaker 1: all in all respects. Yeah, and by the way, they're

442
00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:58,680
Speaker 1: ton of cameras on Kyle all day yesterday and a

443
00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:01,440
Speaker 1: Mike too. And look later this week on Buffalo bills

444
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:03,520
Speaker 1: dot com they've got Kyle Williams miked up. You do

445
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:05,639

446
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 1: kids edited and up on our website a little bit

447
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:09,280
Speaker 1: later on this week. All right, what do you think?

448
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:11,679
Speaker 1: What do you take from yesterday's game for the future

449
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 1: when you look at the Buffalo Bills in their victory

450
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:16,239
Speaker 1: over the Dolphins, the way they want, the way they

451
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:18,359
Speaker 1: had to come. You know, you had a lead and

452
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:20,080
Speaker 1: then let it get away. And then had to bounce

453
00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:22,240
Speaker 1: back in the second half. What they did with Kyle Williams.

454
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:25,000
Speaker 1: What's the best thing that you take from Yesterday's a

455

00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:44,160
Speaker 1: good good, all right, all right, Yeah, I just want

462
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:48,200
Speaker 1: to couple that lights Um you know anyone muf you

463
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:51,280
Speaker 1: mentioned the same time. So, yeah, about being a media

464
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:53,840
Speaker 1: less game. But I'll tell you what, man, throughout my years,

465
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 1: I've never been more interested in a mess game in

466
00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:58,680
Speaker 1: my life. Me too. Yeah. Yeah, it's kind of like,

467
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 1: you know what we witnessed yesterday. It was kind of

468
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:03,240
Speaker 1: like a microL consin things to come, and I think

469
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:07,080
Speaker 1: that's what you know, yesterday kind of confirmed that. So yeah,

470
00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:10,720
Speaker 1: it's really building up excitement for next year. Um, you know,

471
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 1: it's it's not just Josh Allons, all this other you know,

472
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:17,160
Speaker 1: all this other talent. We got that's you know, young talent,

473
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:19,639
Speaker 1: and it's just it's it's just gonna be. Um, I

474
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 1: can't wait till next year. I mean, you know, who

475
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:24,959
Speaker 1: wants to get older? But I do now right here,

476
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:28,520
Speaker 1: It's good. That's that's good point, Carmine, and I agree

477
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:32,520
Speaker 1: with you that, Um, I think what will happen. There's

478
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:34,440
Speaker 1: no question we're already seeing as some on our Twitter

479
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:38,440
Speaker 1: sheet feedback where the expectations are starting to go through

480
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 1: the roof already. You know, they're talking, you know, playoffs,

481
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:44,280
Speaker 1: double digit wins, all that stuff that goes into that,

482
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:47,040
Speaker 1: and I you know, and this is a you know,

483
00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:48,720
Speaker 1: high point for the day. But there's also gonna be

484
00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:50,200
Speaker 1: a time when there's gonna be a lot of questions

485
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:52,480
Speaker 1: about this team. Are the guys they bring in gonna

486
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 1: gonna fulfill those contracts? Are the free agents gonna play

487
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:58,960
Speaker 1: up to those contracts? Are they because they're gonna lose

488
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:00,600
Speaker 1: some guys? They got a lot of guys that are

489
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 1: coming to the end of their contracts that maybe you

490
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:05,639
Speaker 1: like a lot U Are the young guys gonna take

491
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:07,639
Speaker 1: a step forward or take a step sideways, or take

492
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:09,200
Speaker 1: a step back. There's a lot of question marks that

493
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:11,280
Speaker 1: are gonna come up in the offseason and you still

494
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:13,560
Speaker 1: have to address those. But you're right, Carmen, today is

495
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:15,640
Speaker 1: a really good day to be a Bills fan when

496
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 1: you look towards the future. It's come from Bob ian Rochester. Bob,

497
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:23,320
Speaker 1: go ahead, you'reund the air. Welcome Hey, mar Faith, Happy

498
00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 1: New Year, Happy year too. I gotta tell you that

499
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:28,600
Speaker 1: I love to never give up at it to the

500
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:32,200
Speaker 1: Buffalo on the whole year and top down, and I

501
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:36,280
Speaker 1: love the progression that John s Allens has been showing

502
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:38,159
Speaker 1: and things like that. But I just gotta say in

503
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:39,920
Speaker 1: a hole they had I mean, they had nothing really

504
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:44,159
Speaker 1: played for, but they played for everything yesterday. You know, um,

505
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:47,760
Speaker 1: the passion that they got in the intensity again true,

506
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:51,680
Speaker 1: the true really have. Yeah. I agree, Bob, we're losing

507
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:53,359
Speaker 1: you kind of your phone's cutting out a little bit,

508
00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:57,040
Speaker 1: but I agree it's impressive and again on paper it's

509
00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:59,240
Speaker 1: it was one of the what a dozen games yesterday

510
00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:02,399
Speaker 1: They had no play implications for either team, and yet

511
00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:04,600
Speaker 1: the Bills came out and played like it meant everything.

512
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:06,960
Speaker 1: Kyle was part of that, obviously, But this is the

513
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:09,160
Speaker 1: way this team plays. I think this is the standard

514
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:13,119
Speaker 1: that McDermott has successfully instilled in this team now over

515
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:15,760
Speaker 1: two years that it doesn't matter what you think sat stake,

516
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:18,240
Speaker 1: we play hard, we played this way and I think

517
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:19,800
Speaker 1: this team has bought into that. And it was on

518
00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:21,880
Speaker 1: display for everyone to see. Ye I said it, Yeah,

519
00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:24,639
Speaker 1: I said it earlier. It's a culture wins that showed

520
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:28,639
Speaker 1: up and it's hard to deny that that's exactly the

521
00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:33,280
Speaker 1: kind of process. That's what it looked like. That's what

522
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:37,639
Speaker 1: he's been talking about since he was hired. And unfortunately

523
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:40,159
Speaker 1: it shows up in games like yesterday. They're meaningless when

524
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:42,800
Speaker 1: you're out of the playoffs, and unfortunately they're there this year.

525
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:45,880
Speaker 1: But man o, man it shows up and it's real

526
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:49,239
Speaker 1: and that's and we saw an example of it when

527
00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:51,000
Speaker 1: you play a team that doesn't have that culture, and

528
00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:53,640
Speaker 1: that's the difference. Yep. All right, we're gonna take a break.

529
00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:56,119
Speaker 1: There's news already here today, by the way, about a

00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:58,840

550
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:03,560
Speaker 1: from One Bill's Drive. John Murphy was Steve Tasker. Steve

551
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:05,639
Speaker 1: just off the plane. He had the game in Pittsburgh.

552
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:07,600
Speaker 1: Pretty good game you're gonna talk about later today, right,

553
00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:11,280
Speaker 1: Cincinnati and Pittsburgh, Yeah, both sidelines sounds, but it was

554
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:14,399
Speaker 1: a really good game. Y Cincinnati came out and hit

555
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:17,359
Speaker 1: him in the mouth, and Pittsburgh sputtered to start with,

556
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:19,280
Speaker 1: but they got back into an end and up winning it.

557
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:21,639
Speaker 1: Your grind is over for now, right, no more dail

558
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:24,600
Speaker 1: on CBS. Good for you. I get next weekend all Yeah, yeah,

559
00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:27,480
Speaker 1: I guess I do too. Hey. The Bills made a

560
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:31,440
Speaker 1: move today, actually early this morning, hours after the season ends.

561
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:34,439
Speaker 1: They filled out their quarterback room. I told, I told everybody,

562
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:36,720
Speaker 1: they're gonna do this, and they did. They signed Derek

563
00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:39,960
Speaker 1: Anderson to a extension, a one year deal with the Bills,

564
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 1: originally signed back on October ninth when Josh Allen went

565
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:45,560
Speaker 1: out with the elbow injury. Anderson made two starts from

566
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:48,679
Speaker 1: Buffalo weeks seven and eight and filled an important role.

567
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:50,880
Speaker 1: They liked what Derek Anderson had to offer that room, Steve,

568
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:53,160
Speaker 1: and I guess I picked up on that and knew

569
00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:54,520
Speaker 1: that they were going to keep him around. With the

570
00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:58,639
Speaker 1: Matthew Barkley who just signed a contract extension what a

571
00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:01,360
Speaker 1: week ago that was signed year deal. Yeah, and that's

572
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:03,840
Speaker 1: a I think that's a nod to how good those

573
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:08,560
Speaker 1: guys are together. Josh's vast improvement and his steady and

574
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:12,720
Speaker 1: apparent you know, the stuff we could all see, what

575
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:14,840
Speaker 1: let alone the stuff we don't see. He got better

576
00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:17,080
Speaker 1: and better, and those guys are all you talk to

577
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:20,040
Speaker 1: him hand and yeah, you talk to him, and they're

578
00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:22,720
Speaker 1: all like, we're our little crew in there. Is all

579
00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:24,880
Speaker 1: about getting Josh ready to play and getting him better

580
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:28,040
Speaker 1: and helping him and keeping him motivated and getting after

581
00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:29,680
Speaker 1: him and hold him to a standard. And you know,

582
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:32,720
Speaker 1: it's it's important, and I think that's it's great that

583
00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 1: they made the move. So Derek Anderson signs a one

584
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:36,600
Speaker 1: year deal and he talked to the media. Moments are

585
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:38,800

586
00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:41,720
Speaker 1: as locker clean out day. Here's what Derek Anderson said

587
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:44,080
Speaker 1: about his decision to stay with the Bills and resigned

588
00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:46,920
Speaker 1: to a one year deal. Obviously very excited about it.

589
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:50,800
Speaker 1: I've kind of been talking with them over the last

590
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:53,320
Speaker 1: few weeks, but just kind of a decision. I was

591
00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 1: very happy with. You know, I enjoy it here. My

592
00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:58,560
Speaker 1: family had got to come out and spend a little

593
00:27:58,600 --> 00:27:59,680
Speaker 1: bit of time. I don't like to have him a

594
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:02,760
Speaker 1: little bit more, but uh, you know that was a

595
00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:04,399
Speaker 1: huge part of my life. Was okay with it, and

596
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:07,320
Speaker 1: kids are gonna enjoy a little bit. No next year, Yeah,

597

Speaker 1: you need to do this. So, I mean, you know

598
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:11,240
Speaker 1: how important was it? You know, well, what did you

599
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:13,159
Speaker 1: have to weigh? Basically, because you know, you could just

600
00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:15,479
Speaker 1: ride off into the sunset if you want. Yeah, I mean,

601
00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:18,119
Speaker 1: I'm I'm excited about where we're going. Uh you know

606
00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:33,840
Speaker 1: I'm going forward. I think we have a chance to

Speaker 1: about April fifteenth, but I'll be here for it and

612
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:47,479
Speaker 1: we're gonna get it done and we're gonna do it right,

613
00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:52,640
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, I'm just excited about it. When

614
00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:56,120
Speaker 1: you came back, I said, I still want to play.

615
00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:58,520
Speaker 1: I don't want to come in and just be the mentor.

616
00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:01,840
Speaker 1: I do want to play as changed because they clearly

617
00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:04,200
Speaker 1: have a one and maybe mad is the number two.

618
00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:06,520
Speaker 1: Is that changed in your mind that you you're good

619
00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 1: with just being the mentor. I'm gonna come back in

620
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:12,120
Speaker 1: April and I'm gonna compete and try and get our

621
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:14,360
Speaker 1: room better. If I end up being the three, I'm

622
00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:16,400
Speaker 1: the three. If I'm the two, I'm the two I got.

623
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:18,840
Speaker 1: I'm gonna come in and compete. And when I get

624
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:21,520
Speaker 1: rep someone, you know, I'm coming to play football, not

625
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:23,920
Speaker 1: just to stand around and look good. I'm I do

626
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:26,800
Speaker 1: a good job of that, but with your experience. How

627
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:30,400
Speaker 1: important is continent Because last year two of the quarterbacks

628
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:32,560
Speaker 1: that we're here for training camp were no longer here.

629
00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:34,840
Speaker 1: There's three of you now that look like they're coming

630
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:35,960
Speaker 1: here and we'll be a part of the team for

631
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:38,160
Speaker 1: a long time. How important is continuity and how does

632
00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:41,000
Speaker 1: that lead to success? I think it's good you see

633
00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:42,840
Speaker 1: in our room, just so we're all on the same

634
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:45,920
Speaker 1: page here in the same message. You know. I think

635
00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:49,840
Speaker 1: keeping we got a great room and keeping that going

636
00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:52,920
Speaker 1: and the energy that we have in there, the things,

637
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:55,040
Speaker 1: you know, the strides that we've made within the room

638
00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:58,440
Speaker 1: have been great. That's a huge part of it, you know,

639
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:01,080
Speaker 1: and obviously build on what we just finished off the

640
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:04,160
Speaker 1: last whatever eight weeks. Josh has given you a lot

641
00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:08,719
Speaker 1: of credit for helping him during the time he sat out. Um,

642
00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:11,200
Speaker 1: you know kind of what in your view. We've been

643
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:14,600
Speaker 1: asked this before, but you know, what do you think

644
00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:16,960
Speaker 1: that time sitting out and watching in the middle of

645
00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:21,440
Speaker 1: the season and did for him. I mean it's a

646
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:23,800
Speaker 1: little bit weird, but I mean I literally showed up

647
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:26,760
Speaker 1: and in a week I was you know, I had

648
00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:28,880
Speaker 1: to kind of kind of take command of our offense,

649
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:31,800
Speaker 1: and I just went and did what I do. Like

650
00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:34,800
Speaker 1: I don't I didn't change for anything, maybe good or bad,

651
00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:38,560
Speaker 1: but just kind of how we need how I envisioned

652
00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:41,120
Speaker 1: practice being run, how we you know, the demand that

653
00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:45,320
Speaker 1: we put on our guys and walkthroughs and practice and

654
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:47,800
Speaker 1: just kind of the way we kind of need to

655
00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:50,280
Speaker 1: go about it. And I think obviously him watching that,

656
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:53,520
Speaker 1: both Matt and I going through that, it helped him

657
00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:56,280
Speaker 1: and we grew because of it. I think during our

658
00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:59,959
Speaker 1: walkthroughs became more focused, you know, our reps in practice,

659
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:02,320
Speaker 1: who came you know, We're getting more out of him,

660
00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:06,800
Speaker 1: you know, we can just continue that. I'm not, you know,

661
00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:10,600
Speaker 1: have all the answers. I'm just a resource for him

662
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:14,200
Speaker 1: to use. You know, I think our conversations that we

663
00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:16,480
Speaker 1: have in our room are good. And obviously he's you know,

664
00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:19,400
Speaker 1: he finished the season right, Derek Anderson signs a one

665
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:21,200
Speaker 1: year contract that sent you to stay on with the

666
00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:24,280
Speaker 1: Bills as a backup quarterback. Derek Anderson, Matt Barkley and

667
00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:26,400
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, and I gotta say to Steve, I want

668
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:28,400
Speaker 1: to get your thoughts on this too. Those guys, as

669
00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:31,120
Speaker 1: they said, they had a role Barkley and and Derek

670
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:33,760
Speaker 1: Anderson in the improvement I believe shown by Josh Allen.

671
00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:35,680
Speaker 1: You know who else has to be mentioned though, is

672
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:38,600
Speaker 1: the coaching step Brian Dabele the coordinator and David Culley

673
00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:40,560
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks coach. You know, many people were looking at

674
00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:42,760
Speaker 1: him early in the season during the off season and say,

675
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:44,840
Speaker 1: and there's a guy not really a quarterbacks coach. How

676
00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:47,440
Speaker 1: was he going to guide johsh Allen through his first

677
00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:49,240
Speaker 1: year in the NFL. You know what he did and

678
00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:51,240
Speaker 1: it worked pretty good job of it. He did a

679
00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:53,479
Speaker 1: good job. Brian Dable did a good job. This offense

680
00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:55,880
Speaker 1: was a heck of a lot different yesterday than it

681
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:57,800
Speaker 1: was back in September, and a lot of that was

682
00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:00,560
Speaker 1: day Ball adjusting to what he saw from Josh Allen,

683
00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:02,760
Speaker 1: his strengths, his weaknesses, and whether he needed to get

684
00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:05,000
Speaker 1: better at I give those coaches an awful lot of

685
00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:07,840
Speaker 1: credit for the pretty much steady development of Josh Allen,

686
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:09,880
Speaker 1: especially when he came back after his injury. And not

687
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:11,719
Speaker 1: only this, but here's the thing you got to know too.

688
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:15,120
Speaker 1: They recognize what they were doing with Josh. They recognized

689
00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:17,720
Speaker 1: that the season went south very quickly early on, and

690
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:20,160
Speaker 1: they got him on the field and started working with him.

691
00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:23,680
Speaker 1: They saw what they had with him in Minnesota when

692
00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:25,720
Speaker 1: they got you know, they busted out and got some turnovers,

693
00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:28,800
Speaker 1: and he was scoring points and hurdling guys. They put

694
00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:31,960
Speaker 1: together a really nice performance. And as the season progressed

695
00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:37,200
Speaker 1: from that point on, when they started getting quarterbacks to

696
00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:42,560
Speaker 1: go down, they saw Josh and saw what they needed.

697
00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:49,160
Speaker 1: And man, they made tangible decisions during season, maybe even

698
00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:52,960
Speaker 1: during games that you could see it was a coaching decision.

699
00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:57,040
Speaker 1: They made it, and it happened. For instance, Kelvin Benjamin gone,

700
00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:02,120
Speaker 1: get Isaiah Kenzie in here, get some speed on the field.

701
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:04,280
Speaker 1: We got to put Robert Foster back on the lineup.

702
00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:06,000
Speaker 1: We got to get these guys up and run, and

703
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:08,440
Speaker 1: we got to give Josh some guys outside that stretched

704
00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:10,800
Speaker 1: the field and open it up so that if he

705
00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:12,760
Speaker 1: does need to pull it down, there's nobody there to

706
00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:15,800
Speaker 1: tackle him. They made some and they've changed the offense.

707
00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:18,440
Speaker 1: They started putting the ball outside real quick and giving

708
00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:20,920
Speaker 1: him some guys out there in some formations and some

709
00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:24,440
Speaker 1: personnel groupings that you know what, we're spreading the field

710
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:26,400
Speaker 1: out and maybe it'll help the running game a little bit.

711
00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:29,560
Speaker 1: They did a lot of tangible things during the season

712
00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:32,240
Speaker 1: that were much much different than we saw him running

713
00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:35,360
Speaker 1: in the preseason. And you got to tip your hat

714
00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:38,600
Speaker 1: to the coaching staff one for recognizing what they needed

715
00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:40,880
Speaker 1: and two Brandon being and those guys saying, listen, let's

716
00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:42,560
Speaker 1: get this guy. They picked a couple of guys off

717
00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:46,200
Speaker 1: the Niners practice squad that turned out to be pretty

718
00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:49,160
Speaker 1: good players, and Robert Foster in the development he had

719
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:52,200
Speaker 1: I've heard a couple of different anecdotes about listen. A

720
00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:54,000
Speaker 1: couple of guys pulled him aside and said, listen, you

721
00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:58,080
Speaker 1: better you know, you better get on it, you're not

722
00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:01,840
Speaker 1: doing it right, and he listened and through the mentorship

723
00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:04,160
Speaker 1: of the culture that one I pointed to as a

724
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:06,440
Speaker 1: big win for the team yesterday and the way they

725
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:09,359
Speaker 1: played hard in a meaningless game. And two you can

726
00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:11,359
Speaker 1: point to it in the development of Robert Foster as

727
00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:13,520
Speaker 1: the guy's pulling him aside in the in the locker rooms,

728
00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:15,680
Speaker 1: saying hey, you better pick it up or you're gonna

729
00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:17,920
Speaker 1: get cut. And they did cut him and kept him

730
00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:21,320
Speaker 1: around and then brought him back and it paid dividends.

731
00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:23,680
Speaker 1: This is the guy that going forward as a different player. Ye.

732
00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:25,839
Speaker 1: All of that stuff goes into the mix about how

733
00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:29,400
Speaker 1: well they're handling this roster and the young players on it,

734
00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:31,200
Speaker 1: and it's there's a lot to be said for that.

735
00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:33,680
Speaker 1: How did Sundays went over the Dolphins? What did it

736
00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:36,359
Speaker 1: tell you about the Bills in their prospects for next year?

737
00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:39,200
Speaker 1: Give us a call eight three fifty toll free one

738
00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:42,960
Speaker 1: eight eight five fifty two five fifty. Adam on the

739
00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:44,800
Speaker 1: line from East Aurora, Hi, Adam, go ahead, you're on

740
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:48,240
Speaker 1: the air. Let's it go on, mister Murphy, mister Tasker.

741
00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:51,200
Speaker 1: All right, good Adam, how's it going? Doing pretty well?

742
00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:52,880
Speaker 1: Happy New Year to both of you. I'm not going

743
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:54,520
Speaker 1: to single one of you out like people are doing

744
00:34:54,640 --> 00:35:00,920
Speaker 1: on Christmas, so I appreciate your appreciate something. You're astute

745
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:03,440
Speaker 1: observation of things that Murph and I notice as well.

746
00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:06,920
Speaker 1: Go ahead, Steve, you have a happy Christmas. Murph, I

747
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:11,719
Speaker 1: don't care. Yeah, right, go ahead, Adam. Well, the thing

748
00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:15,560
Speaker 1: that I noticed is again, the team they came to play.

749
00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:20,400
Speaker 1: You're one guest on Friday said that he figured that

750
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:23,200
Speaker 1: if something happened in the first quarter and they got behind,

751
00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:25,520
Speaker 1: that they were kind of the Dolphins were just gonna

752
00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:27,960
Speaker 1: be playing for the buses. And there was only one

753
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:30,279
Speaker 1: person on the Dolphins roster that seemed to give a

754
00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:32,440
Speaker 1: damn and actually try, and that was Kiko and Mo.

755
00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:35,640
Speaker 1: He was gone in the first quarter, so third quarter,

756
00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:41,160
Speaker 1: but yeah, yeah, well soon enough. But the other thing

757
00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:43,879
Speaker 1: that I would say is that there's you can sell,

758
00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:47,000
Speaker 1: there's buying. If you're not pulling your weight, they're just

759
00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:49,280
Speaker 1: gonna replace you with some guy off of another team's

760
00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:51,440
Speaker 1: practice squad. So everybody knows that they're playing for their

761
00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:53,359
Speaker 1: job at any given time. And I think that's one

762
00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:55,719
Speaker 1: of the things that made New England so successful over

763
00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:57,839
Speaker 1: the years, and we're starting to kind of get into

764
00:35:57,880 --> 00:35:59,399
Speaker 1: it a little bit. Yeah, and that's I think there's

765
00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:01,160
Speaker 1: really a point if I want your thoughts on there,

766
00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:03,840
Speaker 1: because I think it's a it's a fine line that

767
00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:07,200
Speaker 1: an NFL, a successful NFL coach walks. Yes, you want

768
00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:09,799
Speaker 1: people's to be on edge a little bit. You want

769
00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:12,120
Speaker 1: them to know that this is serious, that it matters

770
00:36:12,200 --> 00:36:14,560
Speaker 1: that their jobs are on the line. You also want

771
00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:16,480
Speaker 1: them to feel like they're in a family and that

772
00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:18,560
Speaker 1: will take care of you, will support you. It's exactly

773
00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:22,000
Speaker 1: a difficult line to walk. That's exactly what I was

774
00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:24,799
Speaker 1: gonna say, Murphy. It's a delicate balance. You're right, you're

775
00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:27,840
Speaker 1: you're holding listen, you're making moves. But also in the

776
00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:30,120
Speaker 1: midst of it, I know this too. Sean McDermott has

777
00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:33,719
Speaker 1: pulled guys aside like Arn Johnson, you know, like uh,

778
00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:37,680
Speaker 1: you know, Levi Wallace, like Robert Foster, like Zay Jones,

779
00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:40,400
Speaker 1: like Ray Ray McLeod. He pulled these guys aside and

780
00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:43,520
Speaker 1: giving them a talking to and say listen, here's the deal. Yeah,

781
00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:46,640
Speaker 1: I love you, but I'm trying to help you. You've

782
00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:48,560
Speaker 1: got to play better. You've got to do a B

783
00:36:48,719 --> 00:36:51,719
Speaker 1: and C or not college. You're not uncolleg scholarship. I think.

784
00:36:51,840 --> 00:36:54,960
Speaker 1: I Yeah, I can't keep you around unless you help me.

785
00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:56,960
Speaker 1: You got to give me a reason. You know, I

786
00:36:57,120 --> 00:36:59,839
Speaker 1: want to. I like you, but you've got to do something.

787
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:03,120
Speaker 1: And that's that's a balance that's hard to strike. Giving

788
00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:04,719
Speaker 1: the guy an arm around him and letting them know

789
00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:07,000
Speaker 1: how much you love him, while holding it over him

790
00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:08,839
Speaker 1: that you got to make a move because there's fifty

791
00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:10,360
Speaker 1: two other guys that you love too and you got

792
00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:12,920
Speaker 1: to look out for them. That's a hard balance to strike.

793
00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:16,640
Speaker 1: And Sean McDermott has done it in a couple of instances,

794
00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:18,600
Speaker 1: and like maybe the ones I just mentioned, he's done

795
00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:20,560
Speaker 1: it very well. And I'm not saying he got it

796
00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:23,400
Speaker 1: right every time, because there's obviously the guys that they

797
00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:26,359
Speaker 1: did cut loose and it didn't work on them. Yeah,

798
00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:30,800
Speaker 1: but man oh Man's that's a great observation by Adam.

799
00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:33,759
Speaker 1: It's a tough balance to strike, and yet this they

800
00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:35,719
Speaker 1: seem to be doing it. What did Sunday's win over

801
00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:37,640
Speaker 1: the Dolphins tell us about the Bill's future? You got

802
00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:39,719
Speaker 1: some good tweets on the tweet sheat there Steve, I

803
00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:42,280
Speaker 1: know one caught your eye. Yeah, Tiffany and Tiffany Daniels

804
00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:45,560
Speaker 1: let me she's an All Star. Yeah, she's pretty good. Yeah,

805
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:48,280
Speaker 1: the team is in good hands moving forward. They coached

806
00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:51,320
Speaker 1: up some young players into legit NFL players, from Foster

807
00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:53,759
Speaker 1: to the high profile picks. All these kids can play

808
00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:56,640
Speaker 1: on Sundays. Watching how they celebrate Kyle in such a

809
00:37:56,680 --> 00:37:59,680
Speaker 1: special and respectful way, it says a lot about the organization. Yeah,

810
00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:02,000
Speaker 1: there's a lot in that in that tweet right there,

811
00:38:02,120 --> 00:38:04,960
Speaker 1: and she's right. Um, you go down the list of

812
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:08,359
Speaker 1: guys like Robert Foster, Zay Jones and his emergence. Uh,

813
00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:11,600
Speaker 1: Marcus Murphy they found him. Now he's a veteran, but

814
00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:13,279
Speaker 1: they you know, they found him, plugged him in and

815
00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:16,759
Speaker 1: he made some contributions. Levi Wallace and Tarren Johnson are

816
00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:21,160
Speaker 1: great guys to look at. Levi Wallace, he played really

817
00:38:21,239 --> 00:38:25,880
Speaker 1: well yesterday. Going forward, you know, they're finding these guys

818
00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:29,880
Speaker 1: that and they're developing them. Uh, they're finding guys who

819
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:33,360
Speaker 1: with great character, who respond to the type of you know,

820
00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:36,759
Speaker 1: tough love that this organization seems to dish out. Um.

821
00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:39,520
Speaker 1: Let me let me read another tweet from Scott Good.

822
00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:43,000
Speaker 1: Good foundation finished strong. A lot of optimism for the

823
00:38:43,120 --> 00:38:45,000
Speaker 1: young players that we can build on. Look forward to

824
00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:49,400
Speaker 1: additional playmakers to take the team to the next competitive level.

825
00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:50,960
Speaker 1: And that's another thing too. They got it. They got

826
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:53,000
Speaker 1: some work to do, no question about it. They got

827
00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:55,719
Speaker 1: some work to do. But it's a it was a fun, fun,

828
00:38:55,880 --> 00:38:57,800
Speaker 1: exciting team to watch. He was an easy team to

Speaker 1: when a play by play guys calling the thing, calling

852
00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:24,560
Speaker 1: the play, and something happens, it's customary for the other guy,

853
00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:27,600
Speaker 1: the analyst, like the thing I do to lay out

854
00:40:28,520 --> 00:40:31,920
Speaker 1: right because you know, something historic may happen. And they

855
00:40:31,960 --> 00:40:34,520
Speaker 1: always come back to the home radio call for like

Speaker 1: home announcer calling his guys on the play, so you

859
00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:46,839
Speaker 1: gotta lay out. Kelso didn't lay out the Kiko play.

860
00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:49,680
Speaker 1: Kelso could not contain his emotion. Man, he was like

877
00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:38,560
Speaker 1: Gase after three seasons after the loss year in Buffalo.

878
00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:41,919
Speaker 1: They're looking for their fourth full head, full head coach,

881
00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:52,600
Speaker 1: They reassigned Mike Tannenbaum within the organization, but Adam Gase,

882
00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:55,400
Speaker 1: who made the playoffs in his first year, a wildcard

883
00:41:55,480 --> 00:41:57,680
Speaker 1: loss to the Steelers in twenty sixteen. He's gone, I'm

884

Speaker 1: twenty fifteen. He'll help the owner find a new coach.

891
00:42:16,680 --> 00:42:20,279

892
00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:22,799

Speaker 1: Eight coaching vacancies. It's about as many as you get

906
00:43:04,840 --> 00:43:07,040
Speaker 1: in a certain year. Um, let's go right down the

907
00:43:07,120 --> 00:43:10,279
Speaker 1: list here, Adam Gaze, Sam shocks to Even when you

908
00:43:10,440 --> 00:43:13,840
Speaker 1: lose like that, like they lost a buffalo yesterday, stuff

909
00:43:13,880 --> 00:43:16,319
Speaker 1: happens like that. Yeah, I was, I was a little

910
00:43:16,360 --> 00:43:18,880
Speaker 1: surprised by it. I gotta be honest with you. They

911
00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:21,560
Speaker 1: made some changes in their organization on their roster this

912
00:43:21,719 --> 00:43:23,360
Speaker 1: last year. They got you know, they got rid of

913
00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:25,880
Speaker 1: indomic and Sue, they got rid of they got rid

914
00:43:25,920 --> 00:43:30,000
Speaker 1: of h Jarvis Landry. So there was some expectations that

915
00:43:30,080 --> 00:43:32,080
Speaker 1: may take a step back, but man, they you know,

916
00:43:32,280 --> 00:43:36,160
Speaker 1: that's um I was a little surprised by that. I

917
00:43:36,239 --> 00:43:38,480
Speaker 1: know they've made the change up above him, but I'm

918
00:43:38,520 --> 00:43:40,560
Speaker 1: surprised they let him go. We're gonna talk more about

919
00:43:40,560 --> 00:43:43,239
Speaker 1: these coaching changes. But Bill's quarterback, Josh Allen is at

920
00:43:43,280 --> 00:43:45,480
Speaker 1: the podium in the media room. Let's listen in for

921
00:43:45,520 --> 00:43:49,640
Speaker 1: a couple of minutes. Josh Y, your all personal expectations

922
00:43:49,680 --> 00:43:53,040
Speaker 1: are hot lead. UM. I mean I wanted to come

923
00:43:53,080 --> 00:43:55,719
Speaker 1: into this year obviously, UM at the start of the air,

924
00:43:56,080 --> 00:43:58,600
Speaker 1: you know, it wasn't starting. UM. You know, it was

925
00:43:58,680 --> 00:44:02,280
Speaker 1: my goal to learn and grow as much as possible

926
00:44:02,320 --> 00:44:04,520
Speaker 1: through the game of football. And I thought I did

927
00:44:04,560 --> 00:44:07,080
Speaker 1: a pretty good job with that. UM. You know, being

928
00:44:07,080 --> 00:44:09,640
Speaker 1: allowed to be on the field with this team, learning

929
00:44:09,680 --> 00:44:11,640
Speaker 1: from the coaches that I've learned from and the guys

930
00:44:11,680 --> 00:44:13,920
Speaker 1: that have been you know, in the quarterback room with me.

931
00:44:14,280 --> 00:44:16,080
Speaker 1: You know, I think I've grown a tremendous amount of

932
00:44:16,800 --> 00:44:19,560
Speaker 1: learned about UM, you know, kind of a different side

933
00:44:19,600 --> 00:44:23,080
Speaker 1: of football. UM. You know, the preparation, how much it takes.

934
00:44:23,600 --> 00:44:25,680
Speaker 1: You know, the game in the NFL, it's it's a

935
00:44:25,719 --> 00:44:29,839
Speaker 1: lot different. It's extremely tough. You know, no uh win

936
00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:33,120
Speaker 1: is given, it's all earned. So it's something that you know,

937
00:44:33,200 --> 00:44:34,799
Speaker 1: I can look back on and say, this is kind

938
00:44:34,800 --> 00:44:37,080
Speaker 1: of how my rookie year went. It wasn't great, it

939
00:44:37,239 --> 00:44:40,520
Speaker 1: wasn't terrible, UM, you know, but I did enjoy it,

940
00:44:40,600 --> 00:44:44,920
Speaker 1: and you know, I love the game of football. For

941
00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:47,240
Speaker 1: a defense that was a year or two of their developing,

942
00:44:47,320 --> 00:44:49,880
Speaker 1: you feel, I felt it didn't really get their identity.

943
00:44:50,320 --> 00:44:53,560
Speaker 1: It's delayed the last six season for them. Where do

944
00:44:53,640 --> 00:44:59,600
Speaker 1: you feel the identity of this offense it is still

945
00:44:59,800 --> 00:45:02,640
Speaker 1: I I definitely think as the year went on, we improved.

946
00:45:02,840 --> 00:45:04,879
Speaker 1: I think we kind of found ourselves and who we are,

947
00:45:05,480 --> 00:45:09,120
Speaker 1: you know in the last six seven games. Um, you know,

948
00:45:09,239 --> 00:45:13,000
Speaker 1: coach you know, brought up some analytical points with us

949
00:45:13,080 --> 00:45:16,000
Speaker 1: and you know, um, I'll keep those in the house.

950
00:45:16,080 --> 00:45:19,440
Speaker 1: But it's pretty promising and it's uh, you know, exciting

951
00:45:19,480 --> 00:45:21,399
Speaker 1: to think about, you know, what we could have done

952
00:45:21,440 --> 00:45:24,480
Speaker 1: and um, what we can do and you know what's uh,

953
00:45:25,280 --> 00:45:27,320
Speaker 1: you know what's in the future. You know, I'm extremely

954
00:45:27,320 --> 00:45:29,560
Speaker 1: excited to have the guys that we have. I'm looking

955
00:45:29,640 --> 00:45:32,759
Speaker 1: forward to, you know, growing with these guys and um,

956
00:45:33,800 --> 00:45:35,960
Speaker 1: you're going into next season with some momentum now and

957
00:45:36,760 --> 00:45:44,439
Speaker 1: just trying to continue to improve. I mean, obviously it's

958
00:45:44,520 --> 00:45:47,280
Speaker 1: great news for me, you know, having here for another

959
00:45:47,360 --> 00:45:50,440
Speaker 1: year at least. You know, he's been extremely helpful, you know,

960
00:45:50,480 --> 00:45:54,120
Speaker 1: in this past year, and he's a great guy, a

961
00:45:54,160 --> 00:45:56,680
Speaker 1: great quarterback. To having the room, Um, he can spend

962
00:45:56,719 --> 00:45:59,399
Speaker 1: the ball still. He's he's an old guy, but uh,

963
00:46:00,120 --> 00:46:02,719
Speaker 1: you know, he's pretty awesome and he's uh, he's one

964
00:46:02,719 --> 00:46:07,399
Speaker 1: of the good ones for sure. Just feel more from

965
00:46:07,480 --> 00:46:10,080
Speaker 1: playing on a field that you were rather or the

966
00:46:10,160 --> 00:46:13,480
Speaker 1: time that you if you were hurting now, definitely from

967
00:46:13,520 --> 00:46:15,600
Speaker 1: being on the field. And there's nothing like in game experience,

968
00:46:15,800 --> 00:46:21,399
Speaker 1: nothing like game reps. You can't mimic those or big

969
00:46:21,600 --> 00:46:23,800
Speaker 1: game like reps. You know, that's the only thing you

970
00:46:23,840 --> 00:46:27,880
Speaker 1: can get, you know, being in the game. Um, every experience,

971
00:46:27,960 --> 00:46:31,560
Speaker 1: every defense, every you know, game has its own different

972
00:46:31,600 --> 00:46:35,040
Speaker 1: elements to it. And in turn, taking those elements and

973
00:46:35,160 --> 00:46:38,080
Speaker 1: kind of running with it and learning from them, um,

974
00:46:38,560 --> 00:46:40,840
Speaker 1: you know, allowing yourself to use them next time that

975
00:46:40,920 --> 00:46:43,880
Speaker 1: situation may arise, and you know, sometimes the situation may

976
00:46:43,920 --> 00:46:48,000
Speaker 1: never rise again. But just having those situations and learning

977
00:46:48,080 --> 00:46:50,640
Speaker 1: from those and um kind of going through that, you

978
00:46:50,680 --> 00:46:52,640
Speaker 1: know it's going to help. You know, any player in

979
00:46:52,680 --> 00:46:56,000
Speaker 1: the long run, would you at all, even though you

980
00:46:56,160 --> 00:46:58,640
Speaker 1: know this clean out there was coming for a few

981
00:46:58,760 --> 00:47:04,680
Speaker 1: weeks happening now that I want to guide kind of

982
00:47:05,080 --> 00:47:07,960
Speaker 1: hit especially a guy who missed those four games and

983
00:47:08,440 --> 00:47:10,400
Speaker 1: wants to be playing as much as possible to do

984
00:47:10,560 --> 00:47:14,279
Speaker 1: anything cross your mind today about hey, this is it? No,

985
00:47:14,600 --> 00:47:17,040
Speaker 1: it does it sucks, you know, and not being able

986
00:47:17,080 --> 00:47:19,560
Speaker 1: to play in the playoffs and you know, missing four games.

987
00:47:19,600 --> 00:47:23,719
Speaker 1: I feel like the season went by extremely fast. And um,

988
00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:26,560
Speaker 1: and I love playing football. I love everything about it,

989
00:47:26,760 --> 00:47:30,200
Speaker 1: you know, except the losing part. Um, But you know

990
00:47:30,280 --> 00:47:32,239
Speaker 1: it's something that I just I love doing. I love

991
00:47:32,280 --> 00:47:34,839
Speaker 1: playing the game of football. So I can't already itching

992
00:47:34,880 --> 00:47:37,000
Speaker 1: to get back in practicing and getting back in the

993
00:47:37,040 --> 00:47:39,040
Speaker 1: swing of things. And you know it can't comes in enough.

994
00:47:39,360 --> 00:47:43,919
Speaker 1: Team's making coaching changes today as well. It happens you're

995
00:47:44,040 --> 00:47:46,440
Speaker 1: at this time. It looks like your quarterback room is

996
00:47:46,440 --> 00:47:49,000
Speaker 1: going to be the same. It's like Thurman's gonna be

997
00:47:49,040 --> 00:47:51,680
Speaker 1: back next year. How important is that consistency to you?

998
00:47:52,160 --> 00:47:56,160
Speaker 1: As you know, consistency is key, and you know, especially

999
00:47:56,200 --> 00:47:59,120
Speaker 1: in the league, Um, being able to have the same terminology,

1000
00:47:59,200 --> 00:48:02,120
Speaker 1: the same playbook, you know, the same guys around you.

1001
00:48:02,960 --> 00:48:06,600
Speaker 1: You know, that increases trust, um, increases the knowledge that

1002
00:48:06,680 --> 00:48:09,000
Speaker 1: you have within the system, allows you to go out

1003
00:48:09,040 --> 00:48:10,960
Speaker 1: there and kind of not think about it too much,

1004
00:48:11,120 --> 00:48:13,920
Speaker 1: kind of just played the game. And um, you know,

1005
00:48:14,080 --> 00:48:17,120
Speaker 1: I definitely you know, coach Dave has been awesome for him.

1006
00:48:17,440 --> 00:48:20,319
Speaker 1: I love the guy and um, you know he's he's

1007
00:48:20,360 --> 00:48:22,239
Speaker 1: got some good stuff playing for us. And you know,

1008
00:48:22,280 --> 00:48:24,600
Speaker 1: I'm ready to kind of follow what him and coach

1009
00:48:24,680 --> 00:48:26,680
Speaker 1: McDermott want us to do. And you know the direction

1010
00:48:26,719 --> 00:48:29,640
Speaker 1: that Coach McDermott set for this team. Um, you know,

1011
00:48:29,760 --> 00:48:32,719
Speaker 1: I'm excited for to see where it can go at

1012
00:48:32,760 --> 00:48:36,279
Speaker 1: this point after the first year. Now, where you're where

1013
00:48:36,320 --> 00:48:39,120
Speaker 1: your mechanics are from, you know, from all the work

1014
00:48:39,160 --> 00:48:42,120
Speaker 1: he did a draft crap to Now, where do you

1015
00:48:42,160 --> 00:48:44,760
Speaker 1: feel your mechanics are? Are you pleased with the progress?

1016
00:48:44,800 --> 00:48:47,480
Speaker 1: You know? Please with the progress? For sure, there's still

1017
00:48:47,480 --> 00:48:49,320
Speaker 1: a lot of improvement to go. Um. You know, I

1018
00:48:52,160 --> 00:48:53,640
Speaker 1: I want to be better, you know, I want to

1019
00:48:53,640 --> 00:48:55,839
Speaker 1: be as best as I can be. And UM that's

1020
00:48:55,840 --> 00:49:00,480
Speaker 1: putting in the work and UM take and as many

1021
00:49:00,760 --> 00:49:04,239
Speaker 1: like I said, reps as possible, UM, drill work in

1022
00:49:04,320 --> 00:49:07,200
Speaker 1: the off season, thrown with um, you know, our guys,

1023
00:49:07,280 --> 00:49:09,400
Speaker 1: and just trying to get back into that mindset you'

1024
00:49:10,040 --> 00:49:13,600
Speaker 1: you know, being in the game like situations. Um. But yeah,

1025
00:49:14,520 --> 00:49:22,360
Speaker 1: it's very valuable any coincidence that the offense in yourself

1026
00:49:22,480 --> 00:49:26,919
Speaker 1: you can find a bit more of a identity once

1027
00:49:27,000 --> 00:49:32,440
Speaker 1: you added once once the Zay and and and Robert

1028
00:49:32,520 --> 00:49:36,839
Speaker 1: Foster as the receivers. Um, was there something that they

1029
00:49:36,960 --> 00:49:40,320
Speaker 1: clicked with you at the offense at that point? I

1030
00:49:40,400 --> 00:49:43,239
Speaker 1: mean maybe all I know is Zay and Rob they

1031
00:49:44,160 --> 00:49:47,480
Speaker 1: work extremely hard in practice. Um you know, they'll run

1032
00:49:47,560 --> 00:49:50,359
Speaker 1: to my arms tired. And you know, I love those

1033
00:49:50,400 --> 00:49:52,800
Speaker 1: guys because they'll put forth their best effort. They're blocking

1034
00:49:52,880 --> 00:49:56,040
Speaker 1: on every single play. Um, you know, they're finishing plays.

1035
00:49:56,640 --> 00:49:58,960
Speaker 1: You know, the scuffle that we had yesterday, Robert picked

1036
00:49:59,040 --> 00:50:01,680
Speaker 1: up the ball, picked it up, we ran in the

1037
00:50:01,800 --> 00:50:04,080
Speaker 1: end zone, you know, thinking that maybe the ball was

1038
00:50:04,080 --> 00:50:06,640
Speaker 1: still alive. So just types of plays like that. Um,

1039
00:50:06,920 --> 00:50:09,399
Speaker 1: you know, having guys like him and Zay, the guys

1040
00:50:09,400 --> 00:50:10,960
Speaker 1: that are willing to do whatever the team asks them

1041
00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:13,560
Speaker 1: to do. You know, that's in turn will follow with

1042
00:50:13,640 --> 00:50:16,719
Speaker 1: other people seeing how they play the game, um, you know,

1043
00:50:16,880 --> 00:50:19,440
Speaker 1: and that will develop their leadership roles in this you know,

1044
00:50:19,560 --> 00:50:22,239
Speaker 1: offense and in this team in turn. There you go.

1045

Speaker 1: this year, half some mistakes, learn from from, learn from

1113
00:54:02,239 --> 00:54:04,920
Speaker 1: some mistakes. Um, you know, I thought it was, you know,

1114
00:54:04,960 --> 00:54:07,279
Speaker 1: a successful year in that manner. Yeah, but let me

1115
00:54:07,360 --> 00:54:09,640
Speaker 1: just revert to my old playing self and wait a

1116
00:54:09,680 --> 00:54:12,000
Speaker 1: play man, thank you? That was fun yesterday there was

1117
00:54:12,080 --> 00:54:14,480
Speaker 1: five tds and it would look like a great game

1118
00:54:14,520 --> 00:54:17,120
Speaker 1: to be a part of. You guys, you know, like

1119
00:54:17,239 --> 00:54:18,800
Speaker 1: you did the first time you played him, except this

1120
00:54:18,880 --> 00:54:20,839
Speaker 1: time you closed him out, correct, right, I mean that's

1121
00:54:20,840 --> 00:54:22,840
Speaker 1: got to feel good. It does feel good. And to

1122
00:54:22,960 --> 00:54:25,520
Speaker 1: send Kyle out the way we did, and um, it

1123
00:54:25,600 --> 00:54:27,920
Speaker 1: was an emotional game for a lot of people, him included.

1124
00:54:27,960 --> 00:54:30,479
Speaker 1: And to be able to throw him a touchdown pass

1125
00:54:30,800 --> 00:54:32,840
Speaker 1: or throw him a pass and him pushed me in

1126
00:54:32,920 --> 00:54:37,160
Speaker 1: on a touchdown run. Not something I'll ever forget. As well,

1127
00:54:37,239 --> 00:54:39,879
Speaker 1: we were talking about how coach murcdermot it seems, does

1128
00:54:39,920 --> 00:54:42,480
Speaker 1: a great job of setting a standard here over two

1129
00:54:42,560 --> 00:54:44,200
Speaker 1: years now, even before you got here, and that was

1130
00:54:44,239 --> 00:54:47,000
Speaker 1: in play yesterday. But I wonder how much more motivation

1131
00:54:47,080 --> 00:54:49,520
Speaker 1: did you guys get from that being Kyle's last game?

1132
00:54:49,840 --> 00:54:52,800
Speaker 1: There were some Yeah, added extra motivation for sure, you know,

1133
00:54:52,920 --> 00:54:56,000
Speaker 1: him being his last game, spending thirteen years here in Buffalo,

1134
00:54:56,120 --> 00:54:59,160
Speaker 1: the way the city loves him, how the team loves him.

1135
00:54:59,280 --> 00:55:02,799
Speaker 1: You know, he's our our leader, our motivational, emotional, whatever

1136
00:55:02,800 --> 00:55:04,400
Speaker 1: you want to call it. He's the guy we all

1137
00:55:04,480 --> 00:55:07,399
Speaker 1: look up to and um, you know, sad to see

1138
00:55:07,480 --> 00:55:09,920
Speaker 1: him go. Um, glad we can send him out the

1139
00:55:10,000 --> 00:55:12,279
Speaker 1: right way. Um, you know, appreciate everything that he's done

1140
00:55:12,320 --> 00:55:14,320
Speaker 1: for this Organization's one more question about Kyle that I

1141
00:55:14,360 --> 00:55:16,200
Speaker 1: have for you. Um, and you know he's in opposite

1142
00:55:16,239 --> 00:55:18,160
Speaker 1: meeting rooms obviously, so you probably don't spend a ton

1143
00:55:18,200 --> 00:55:20,879
Speaker 1: of time with him, But can you recall one conversation

1144
00:55:21,040 --> 00:55:24,640
Speaker 1: or one word of advice or something that you had

1145
00:55:24,719 --> 00:55:27,440
Speaker 1: with Kyle Williams during your rookie year here, anything that

1146
00:55:27,520 --> 00:55:29,920
Speaker 1: stands out to you, is Wow, that guy's that's good.

1147
00:55:30,040 --> 00:55:32,080
Speaker 1: That's good advice. Yeah, I mean just kind of how

1148
00:55:32,160 --> 00:55:34,719
Speaker 1: he operates, how he comes in. He's always in the

1149
00:55:34,800 --> 00:55:37,640
Speaker 1: training room making sure that his body was right. Um,

1150
00:55:37,960 --> 00:55:39,960
Speaker 1: you know, he's a family man. He's got five kids.

1151
00:55:40,560 --> 00:55:42,600
Speaker 1: You know, he took me in and and you know,

1152
00:55:42,680 --> 00:55:45,040
Speaker 1: made me feel like part of his family. You know. Um,

1153
00:55:45,239 --> 00:55:48,080
Speaker 1: going to spend time with him and his family was awesome. Um,

1154
00:55:48,960 --> 00:55:51,239
Speaker 1: how he embraced the city, you know, how he loved

1155
00:55:51,280 --> 00:55:55,200
Speaker 1: the city and they loved him back. So really, ain't dead. Now,

1156
00:55:55,400 --> 00:55:57,320
Speaker 1: I know he's not dead, But I'm just saying just

1157
00:55:58,160 --> 00:56:01,000
Speaker 1: you know, he's a special person who player and I

1158
00:56:01,040 --> 00:56:03,840
Speaker 1: appreciate him. Yeah, I was gonna ask you this. A

1159
00:56:03,920 --> 00:56:07,239
Speaker 1: lot of people have been, you know, wondering what's your

1160
00:56:07,280 --> 00:56:09,680
Speaker 1: plan for this offseason. I know they're restrictions on how

1161
00:56:09,760 --> 00:56:11,640
Speaker 1: much you can be around the facility. I know you're

1162
00:56:11,640 --> 00:56:13,880
Speaker 1: gonna go out and work with Jordan again in this offseason.

1163
00:56:14,080 --> 00:56:16,239
Speaker 1: You'll probably hook up with your boy Sam Darnold, and

1164
00:56:16,320 --> 00:56:19,120
Speaker 1: you guys will you know, get together and throw or whatever.

1165
00:56:19,600 --> 00:56:25,560
Speaker 1: But you must have am obviously because now you've been

1166
00:56:25,600 --> 00:56:27,239
Speaker 1: around once and last year was your draft. You need

1167
00:56:27,280 --> 00:56:28,360
Speaker 1: know where you were going to play at all. But

1168
00:56:28,400 --> 00:56:31,880
Speaker 1: now you've got to have a completely different mindset this offseason.

1169
00:56:32,360 --> 00:56:35,719
Speaker 1: What is it? I mean, first of all, it's less

1170
00:56:35,760 --> 00:56:38,319
Speaker 1: stressful than it was last year. You know, We've got

1171
00:56:38,400 --> 00:56:40,680
Speaker 1: some stability now. I know where I'm at, no where

1172
00:56:40,680 --> 00:56:43,759
Speaker 1: I'm living, know what team I'm at, I'm with other

1173
00:56:43,840 --> 00:56:46,600
Speaker 1: receivers that I'm gonna be throwing to, you know, kind

1174
00:56:46,640 --> 00:56:48,920
Speaker 1: of getting away from football for a week or two

1175
00:56:49,040 --> 00:56:51,560
Speaker 1: and kind of relax and hanging out with family and friends.

1176
00:56:52,160 --> 00:56:54,480
Speaker 1: But then when February rolls around, you know, getting back

1177
00:56:54,480 --> 00:56:55,839
Speaker 1: in the swing of things so I can get back

1178
00:56:55,880 --> 00:56:58,000
Speaker 1: on April fifteenth and be ready to go. You know,

1179
00:56:58,160 --> 00:57:00,360
Speaker 1: it's it's a time where you know they'll want to

1180
00:57:00,400 --> 00:57:02,400
Speaker 1: improve and still need to improve, you know a lot

1181
00:57:02,440 --> 00:57:05,239
Speaker 1: of different things. And I'm looking forward to that process of,

1182
00:57:05,440 --> 00:57:07,759
Speaker 1: you know, working hard and getting back to the swing

1183
00:57:07,840 --> 00:57:11,080
Speaker 1: of things. I know, Oh, go ahead, go ahead, I

1184
00:57:11,920 --> 00:57:16,600
Speaker 1: know you're I know you're gonna be out in California

1185
00:57:16,680 --> 00:57:18,720
Speaker 1: wherever it is you're gonna be. How much do you have?

1186
00:57:18,840 --> 00:57:20,880
Speaker 1: Actually you're gonna watch film if yourself? Are you gonna

1187
00:57:20,880 --> 00:57:22,800
Speaker 1: watch film? With other teams? Is there some of that

1188
00:57:22,880 --> 00:57:24,400
Speaker 1: going on? Because I know you'll be on the field,

1189
00:57:24,720 --> 00:57:26,800
Speaker 1: you know, throwing it and working on mechanics and getting

1190
00:57:26,840 --> 00:57:28,760
Speaker 1: guys to throw too, and even maybe even getting together

1191
00:57:28,800 --> 00:57:29,960
Speaker 1: with some of the guys on the team throwing it

1192
00:57:30,040 --> 00:57:33,400
Speaker 1: right around. But um, how much like of the you

1193
00:57:33,480 --> 00:57:37,880
Speaker 1: know dark room, you know film watching of that, there'll

1194
00:57:37,920 --> 00:57:39,520
Speaker 1: be Yeah, there'll be a lot going on, you know,

1195
00:57:39,920 --> 00:57:43,040
Speaker 1: especially with the playoffs going on. Um, you know, picking

1196
00:57:43,080 --> 00:57:45,439
Speaker 1: a couple of defenses out, you know, trying to find

1197
00:57:45,480 --> 00:57:47,400
Speaker 1: out what they're doing and try to break them down

1198
00:57:47,520 --> 00:57:49,480
Speaker 1: and kind of apply what we would do or what

1199
00:57:49,520 --> 00:57:51,360
Speaker 1: would I think we would do it in our offense

1200
00:57:51,400 --> 00:57:54,120
Speaker 1: against this certain defense, and you know, win the playoffs.

1201
00:57:54,200 --> 00:57:57,439
Speaker 1: So um, you know there's always football going around this time,

1202
00:57:57,480 --> 00:57:59,920
Speaker 1: and you know playoff football is exciting and you know,

1203
00:58:00,120 --> 00:58:01,840
Speaker 1: hopefully one day we'll be playing in it. With Bill's

1204
00:58:01,880 --> 00:58:03,760
Speaker 1: quarterback Josh Hellen and studio with us, I want to

1205
00:58:03,760 --> 00:58:05,360
Speaker 1: ask you about the football that went on out here

1206
00:58:05,440 --> 00:58:08,720
Speaker 1: yesterday a little bit yesterday's game. Um, going into the game,

1207
00:58:08,880 --> 00:58:11,200
Speaker 1: you know watch these games and I thought there was

1208
00:58:11,680 --> 00:58:13,920
Speaker 1: not a missing component to the Buffalo offense. But I

1209
00:58:14,000 --> 00:58:16,320
Speaker 1: thought this team is going to have to develop more

1210
00:58:16,360 --> 00:58:18,600
Speaker 1: of a short passing game. I saw it yesterday, right.

1211
00:58:18,680 --> 00:58:20,840
Speaker 1: Was that a concerted effort to let's try to work

1212
00:58:20,880 --> 00:58:22,800
Speaker 1: you know underneath some of the covers. Now, did you

1213
00:58:22,840 --> 00:58:26,520
Speaker 1: listen Tom told you guys to do. I didn't tell

1214
00:58:26,520 --> 00:58:28,360
Speaker 1: I don't tell anybody what to do. You should listen

1215
00:58:28,400 --> 00:58:30,680
Speaker 1: to what I tell you I do. Yeah, But was

1216
00:58:30,720 --> 00:58:32,680
Speaker 1: that was that part of the plan yesterday? Oh? Yeah,

1217
00:58:32,680 --> 00:58:35,400
Speaker 1: we just wanted to get completions, you know, Um, we

1218
00:58:35,480 --> 00:58:37,520
Speaker 1: want to get the ball into our playmaker's hands. Let

1219
00:58:37,560 --> 00:58:39,640
Speaker 1: them make some place. You know, we did a good job.

1220
00:58:39,720 --> 00:58:42,080
Speaker 1: Shady made a few you know, heck of a heck

1221
00:58:42,160 --> 00:58:44,480
Speaker 1: of a good place. You know, he had a couple

1222
00:58:44,520 --> 00:58:47,920
Speaker 1: of first downs, made a few people miss crew him underneath,

1223
00:58:47,960 --> 00:58:50,120
Speaker 1: had a couple of catches, and um, you know, made

1224
00:58:50,160 --> 00:58:52,640
Speaker 1: the defense pay. And Zay and Robert caught a couple

1225
00:58:52,640 --> 00:58:55,720
Speaker 1: of little slant routes, and um, you know, the more

1226
00:58:55,880 --> 00:58:57,640
Speaker 1: we can get the ball into those playmakers hands, the

1227
00:58:57,680 --> 00:58:59,800
Speaker 1: better we're gonna be as an offense. On miss you

1228
00:58:59,840 --> 00:59:01,880
Speaker 1: were seeing the play you made to Ivory, the one

1229
00:59:01,920 --> 00:59:04,120
Speaker 1: where you scrambled out towards the Bill's bench and threw

1230
00:59:04,160 --> 00:59:05,800
Speaker 1: it over the top of the linebacker and he turned

1231
00:59:05,800 --> 00:59:08,000
Speaker 1: it into almost a scoring play, got inside the five

1232
00:59:08,080 --> 00:59:11,040
Speaker 1: yard line. That kind of thing. I mean that and

1233
00:59:11,160 --> 00:59:12,560
Speaker 1: I see it all the time when I'm out and

1234
00:59:12,680 --> 00:59:15,360
Speaker 1: doing NFL games around the league. He can't imagine how

1235
00:59:15,440 --> 00:59:17,400
Speaker 1: much pressure it puts on a defense when you've got

1236
00:59:17,440 --> 00:59:19,440
Speaker 1: a quarterback who can extend to play and then all

1237
00:59:19,440 --> 00:59:21,480
Speaker 1: of a sudden, all the rules of their defense go

1238
00:59:21,600 --> 00:59:23,680
Speaker 1: out the window and they're just standing. You know, they

1239
00:59:23,720 --> 00:59:25,760
Speaker 1: got to make some decisions that they're not trained for

1240
00:59:26,400 --> 00:59:28,600
Speaker 1: or they haven't prepared for. I mean, that's that's part

1241
00:59:28,640 --> 00:59:30,760
Speaker 1: of the game, you know. And they got to kind

1242
00:59:30,800 --> 00:59:33,080
Speaker 1: of worry about two different aspects of what a quarterback

1243
00:59:33,120 --> 00:59:35,480
Speaker 1: can do. When you can have some mobility and you

1244
00:59:35,480 --> 00:59:37,320
Speaker 1: can run around a little bit and extend plays, and

1245
00:59:37,680 --> 00:59:40,479
Speaker 1: when you got guys that you know, work to get open,

1246
00:59:40,800 --> 00:59:44,320
Speaker 1: especially late when I'm scrambling, and like you said, it's

1247
00:59:44,360 --> 00:59:47,840
Speaker 1: tough for defense team When you know it's tough, did

1248
00:59:47,880 --> 00:59:50,400
Speaker 1: it did it add an extra degree of difficulty when

1249
00:59:50,640 --> 00:59:52,240
Speaker 1: and we've been talking about it, We've been talking about

1250
00:59:52,240 --> 00:59:55,560
Speaker 1: it since it happened. When the guys around you, when

1251
00:59:55,680 --> 00:59:58,000
Speaker 1: Calvin was gone, when Andre Holmes was gone, they you

1252
00:59:58,080 --> 01:00:01,200
Speaker 1: know that the receiving core right in the mid season,

1253
01:00:01,240 --> 01:00:03,760
Speaker 1: that had to throw a little extra degree of difficulty

1254
01:00:03,800 --> 01:00:06,080
Speaker 1: in it for you that maybe you weren't anticipating it did.

1255
01:00:06,160 --> 01:00:08,080
Speaker 1: But you know, I trusted our guys. I trusted who

1256
01:00:08,120 --> 01:00:10,919
Speaker 1: we had out there. UM, guys that work extremely hard.

1257
01:00:11,400 --> 01:00:15,120
Speaker 1: Guys that'll run till my arms tired. Um, guys that'll

1258
01:00:15,200 --> 01:00:18,080
Speaker 1: do anything for the team, whether it be blocking, running routes, catching,

1259
01:00:18,760 --> 01:00:22,120
Speaker 1: um being a decoy, whatever it is there for the team.

1260
01:00:22,240 --> 01:00:24,000
Speaker 1: And you know, I'd love to play with guys like that,

1261
01:00:24,560 --> 01:00:26,240
Speaker 1: And you know they're going to continue to get better.

1262
01:00:26,240 --> 01:00:28,040
Speaker 1: We're going to continue to get better, and I'm excited

1263
01:00:28,080 --> 01:00:29,520
Speaker 1: to who we could take. The thing question for you

1264
01:00:29,600 --> 01:00:33,120
Speaker 1: about the late touchdown catch by Zay Jones twenty six

1265
01:00:33,200 --> 01:00:35,600
Speaker 1: yards late in the game, Um, well, you was shocked,

1266
01:00:35,640 --> 01:00:37,320
Speaker 1: as many of us were, and how open he was

1267
01:00:37,400 --> 01:00:41,160
Speaker 1: on that play. You were pretty shocked. I was done.

1268
01:00:43,240 --> 01:00:45,080
Speaker 1: Uh No, we had we had a good good play

1269
01:00:45,120 --> 01:00:48,240
Speaker 1: call there. Um. You know, our two outside post or

1270
01:00:48,640 --> 01:00:50,919
Speaker 1: two posts on the other side, took the safeties away,

1271
01:00:51,000 --> 01:00:54,920
Speaker 1: took the corner away, Chris took the linebacker away, and

1272
01:00:55,400 --> 01:01:00,360
Speaker 1: Zay was just the only guy standing. How how often

1286
01:01:32,080 --> 01:01:35,000
Speaker 1: you know, I still got to get certainly, will maximize

1287
01:01:35,040 --> 01:01:37,400
Speaker 1: whatever you can do, right, Yeah, exactly whatever we can

1288
01:01:37,480 --> 01:01:40,080

1290
01:01:42,760 --> 01:01:44,640
Speaker 1: following all the rules. Josh, can I relay a couple

1291
01:01:44,640 --> 01:01:47,920
Speaker 1: of the questions we got from Twitter for you? Deput Titus?

1292
01:01:48,040 --> 01:01:50,560
Speaker 1: I have a question for Josh, given Kiko Alonso's history

1293
01:01:50,600 --> 01:01:54,120
Speaker 1: with dirty hits on quarterbacks and its previously hit on Josh.

1294
01:01:54,440 --> 01:01:57,400
Speaker 1: Do you feel that Alonzo's hits that started the tussle

1295
01:01:57,600 --> 01:01:59,120
Speaker 1: was targeted? Do you think he was out to get you,

1296
01:01:59,320 --> 01:02:03,520
Speaker 1: targeting you? Um? I wouldn't say that, per se um.

1297
01:02:04,440 --> 01:02:07,760
Speaker 1: He's known for for hitting some quarterbacks late, and you know,

1298
01:02:07,960 --> 01:02:10,400
Speaker 1: I don't really have anything to say about that, but

1299
01:02:11,280 --> 01:02:13,880
Speaker 1: um yeah, but I'll tell you what I said. My

1300
01:02:13,960 --> 01:02:17,520
Speaker 1: guy's got my back. I know I said it early

1301
01:02:17,560 --> 01:02:19,560
Speaker 1: in the show. Maybe Mike, Butker needs a little bit

1302
01:02:19,600 --> 01:02:22,040
Speaker 1: game ball. He comes in and piles on and he's

1303
01:02:22,080 --> 01:02:23,880
Speaker 1: the first guy there and jumps right into the fray

1304
01:02:23,920 --> 01:02:26,080
Speaker 1: and takes you know, because we're watching it now, he

1305
01:02:26,160 --> 01:02:29,120
Speaker 1: goes right after him, which you know he's supposed to do.

1306
01:02:30,120 --> 01:02:31,960
Speaker 1: You should have acted like you were falling forward and

1307
01:02:32,000 --> 01:02:35,960
Speaker 1: stepped on his throat. But I sugged me, um let me,

1308
01:02:37,560 --> 01:02:39,960
Speaker 1: let me let me ask you another one. Um yeah.

1309
01:02:40,000 --> 01:02:42,360
Speaker 1: And we asked you about People want to know about

1310
01:02:42,800 --> 01:02:45,040
Speaker 1: the offseason plan. How much time are you gonna spend

1311
01:02:45,080 --> 01:02:47,160
Speaker 1: with your wide receivers, running backs getting them together? Are

1312
01:02:47,160 --> 01:02:49,240
Speaker 1: you guys gonna get plans to get together? I mean

1313
01:02:49,440 --> 01:02:52,080
Speaker 1: before April? I guess yeah. You know, we haven't figured

1314
01:02:52,120 --> 01:02:54,200
Speaker 1: everything out, but we planned to meet you know sometimes

1315
01:02:54,240 --> 01:02:57,240
Speaker 1: what it be in March or or early April. I'm

1316
01:02:57,320 --> 01:02:59,920
Speaker 1: just getting a couple of throwing session in, going over

1317
01:03:00,040 --> 01:03:02,800
Speaker 1: the playbook, whatever it may be, just talking about what

1318
01:03:02,920 --> 01:03:05,160
Speaker 1: we can and can't do, and just trying to build

1319
01:03:05,200 --> 01:03:07,000
Speaker 1: on that relationship that we have. I was mentioning to

1320
01:03:07,080 --> 01:03:11,000
Speaker 1: see you know. And obviously with the Derek Anderson resigning

1321
01:03:11,040 --> 01:03:14,040
Speaker 1: and Bartley's resigned a week ago, and those guys contributed

1322
01:03:14,040 --> 01:03:17,000
Speaker 1: to your success. You mentioned that too, But you're coaching staff,

1323
01:03:17,000 --> 01:03:18,800
Speaker 1: I think needs to get some of the credit, right

1324
01:03:18,840 --> 01:03:22,200
Speaker 1: Coach Callie, coach Dable, guys say yeah, yeah, yeah, sure, yeah.

1325
01:03:22,440 --> 01:03:24,000
Speaker 1: I mean, and we have a question about that too

1326
01:03:24,040 --> 01:03:27,160
Speaker 1: on Twitter. My question for Josh this is from Lee

1327
01:03:27,520 --> 01:03:30,000
Speaker 1: on Twitter. What in your opinion can the coaching staff

1328
01:03:30,040 --> 01:03:32,640
Speaker 1: do to help him for the twenty nineteen season. He says,

1329
01:03:32,720 --> 01:03:34,840
Speaker 1: we believe in you and go Bills, but there's got

1330
01:03:34,920 --> 01:03:36,640
Speaker 1: to be a next step for the coaching staffing for you,

1331
01:03:36,840 --> 01:03:40,200
Speaker 1: right pursuing Yeah, I mean there's that trust factor, you know,

1332
01:03:40,360 --> 01:03:42,360
Speaker 1: and you know I trust my coaches, and you know

1333
01:03:42,560 --> 01:03:44,800
Speaker 1: they're learning to trust me and what I can do

1334
01:03:44,920 --> 01:03:47,880
Speaker 1: on the football field, and you know the relationship is

1335
01:03:47,920 --> 01:03:50,120
Speaker 1: going to continue to grow as many as much time

1336
01:03:50,120 --> 01:03:52,280
Speaker 1: as we can spend together and to have that same

1337
01:03:52,920 --> 01:03:55,640
Speaker 1: room coming back next year the same guys. It's just

1338
01:03:55,680 --> 01:03:57,520
Speaker 1: going to continue to grow. And you think about last year,

1339
01:03:57,560 --> 01:03:59,560
Speaker 1: you go to OTAs and training camp, in the mini

1340
01:03:59,600 --> 01:04:02,160
Speaker 1: camp and splitting reps. So by the time they finally

1341
01:04:02,240 --> 01:04:05,080
Speaker 1: got you, you know, full time week to the regular season,

1342
01:04:05,600 --> 01:04:07,360
Speaker 1: you could see the offense sort of evolved, like they

1343
01:04:07,480 --> 01:04:10,040
Speaker 1: learned more about you, You learn more about maybe yourself

1344
01:04:10,080 --> 01:04:11,440
Speaker 1: and the offense. By the end of the year, it

1345
01:04:11,480 --> 01:04:14,840
Speaker 1: looked like almost a not perfectly functioning, but a fully

1346
01:04:14,880 --> 01:04:17,240
Speaker 1: functioning offensive machine by the end. Correct. Correct, And that,

1347
01:04:17,320 --> 01:04:19,640
Speaker 1: just like I said, comes with time. And yeah, learning

1348
01:04:19,720 --> 01:04:22,360
Speaker 1: what I like and Coach Daves wants to do what

1349
01:04:22,440 --> 01:04:24,440
Speaker 1: I like to do, you know, what I feel comfortable

1350
01:04:24,480 --> 01:04:27,280
Speaker 1: with doing. And um, he's been completely open about that.

1351
01:04:27,440 --> 01:04:31,040
Speaker 1: And UM, to have a quarterback or an offensive coordinator

1352
01:04:31,080 --> 01:04:33,920
Speaker 1: that's willing to, you know, cater to what the quarterback

1353
01:04:34,000 --> 01:04:37,520
Speaker 1: likes to do, it's awesome. Is there any lingering effects

1354
01:04:37,560 --> 01:04:40,200
Speaker 1: from the elbow injury? No, you're like one hundred percent,

1355
01:04:40,560 --> 01:04:42,480
Speaker 1: not even a thought. And I didn't I didn't notice.

1356
01:04:42,480 --> 01:04:44,320
Speaker 1: You don't wear anything. Now you took the sleeve off,

1357
01:04:44,360 --> 01:04:46,400
Speaker 1: did you or did you wear it? Um? There was

1358
01:04:46,560 --> 01:04:48,760
Speaker 1: a brace on for the games. He kept it on

1359
01:04:48,800 --> 01:04:50,400
Speaker 1: with for the game, so I didn't even the games.

1360
01:04:50,400 --> 01:04:52,840
Speaker 1: I can't even remember seeing it yesterday. You don't even notice.

1361
01:04:53,080 --> 01:04:54,760
Speaker 1: I don't even notice it. How do you like playing

1362
01:04:55,000 --> 01:04:57,000
Speaker 1: in that stadium? It was pretty fun day yesterday. I

1363
01:04:57,040 --> 01:05:00,760
Speaker 1: love it. Our fans are awesome. Um, stay in the atmosphere,

1364
01:05:00,840 --> 01:05:03,560
Speaker 1: the energy that we feel, you know, to have all

1365
01:05:03,600 --> 01:05:06,240
Speaker 1: the energy built up with you know, it being Kyle's

1366
01:05:06,320 --> 01:05:09,120
Speaker 1: last game. You know how we played for each other.

1367
01:05:10,000 --> 01:05:11,880
Speaker 1: It was a great team win asterday. It seems like

1368
01:05:11,920 --> 01:05:13,920
Speaker 1: I mean we were talking before before you got here.

1369
01:05:14,280 --> 01:05:16,360
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a it is a meaningless game, right,

1370
01:05:16,400 --> 01:05:18,760
Speaker 1: there's no playoff implications. And yet I get the sense

1371
01:05:18,800 --> 01:05:21,400
Speaker 1: that that game meant something and maybe he has something

1372
01:05:21,480 --> 01:05:23,480
Speaker 1: to say about next year for this Buffalo bit. It

1373
01:05:23,600 --> 01:05:26,439
Speaker 1: meant something for you know, us included, but the whole

1374
01:05:26,440 --> 01:05:29,680
Speaker 1: city of Buffalo. I think, UM, say, Kyle out the

1375
01:05:29,760 --> 01:05:32,320
Speaker 1: way we did, like I said, kind of how we

1376
01:05:33,880 --> 01:05:37,240
Speaker 1: performed the excitement that you know, maybe built up in

1377
01:05:37,360 --> 01:05:39,720
Speaker 1: fans minds now of you know what we can be

1378
01:05:39,920 --> 01:05:42,480
Speaker 1: and um, Like I said, I'm looking forward to getting back.

1379
01:05:42,960 --> 01:05:46,080
Speaker 1: What is your goal? I mean, what, what's something you

1380
01:05:46,160 --> 01:05:48,640
Speaker 1: want to from yourself this offseason when you show up

1381
01:05:48,680 --> 01:05:52,440
Speaker 1: in training camp or OTAs in April. What do you

1382
01:05:52,480 --> 01:05:55,560
Speaker 1: want your teammates to see in you? I want to

1383
01:05:55,560 --> 01:05:57,600
Speaker 1: see them to see that I'm in shape. I'm still

1384
01:05:57,680 --> 01:06:00,800
Speaker 1: working hard, you know when it doesn't call for it.

1385
01:06:00,920 --> 01:06:03,200
Speaker 1: But when I get back, I want to be ready

1386
01:06:03,200 --> 01:06:06,400
Speaker 1: to go. I want to work extremely hard show everybody. Um,

1387
01:06:06,840 --> 01:06:09,680
Speaker 1: you know that's that's what we're gonna do here. You know,

1388
01:06:09,760 --> 01:06:13,080
Speaker 1: the standard that coach McDermott said is playoff caliber, and um,

1389
01:06:13,400 --> 01:06:15,760
Speaker 1: you know that doesn't stop in the season's over. Steve

1390
01:06:15,840 --> 01:06:17,280
Speaker 1: keeps asking you how much work you're gonna do in

1391
01:06:17,320 --> 01:06:19,160
Speaker 1: the offseason. I hope you get some downtime, right, What

1392
01:06:19,200 --> 01:06:21,200
Speaker 1: are you gonna do for fun, especially over the next

1393
01:06:21,200 --> 01:06:23,919
Speaker 1: six weeks or so. Well, maybe go on the golf

1394
01:06:23,960 --> 01:06:26,160
Speaker 1: course a few times and then swing the sticks around.

1395
01:06:26,240 --> 01:06:29,480
Speaker 1: But um, other than that, just hanging out, maybe putting

1396
01:06:29,520 --> 01:06:31,840
Speaker 1: my feet in the sand and hanging out with family, friends,

1397
01:06:31,920 --> 01:06:34,720

1403
01:07:04,240 --> 01:07:05,760
Speaker 1: just banged his knee on the desk. That sounded like

1404
01:07:05,840 --> 01:07:10,720
Speaker 1: it hurt. What was that? No, No, I'm all right.

1405

Speaker 1: He just banged his knee on the desk underneath. Great

1406
01:07:15,880 --> 01:07:19,040
Speaker 1: having Josh Allen right on the corner. Oh, I'm all right.

Speaker 1: Great having Josh Allen in here. A great kid, easy

1408
01:07:24,240 --> 01:07:28,840
Speaker 1: to root for, smart um, tremendous athlete. I mean he

1409
01:07:28,880 --> 01:07:32,240
Speaker 1: did it again yesterday running past some Dolphins linebackers. But

1410
01:07:32,440 --> 01:07:34,439
Speaker 1: above it all, Steve and I saw this. I said

1411
01:07:34,480 --> 01:07:36,120
Speaker 1: this the first time I saw him play last summer.

1412
01:07:36,480 --> 01:07:40,480
Speaker 1: He is a competitor. He competes, and that is you know,

1413
01:07:40,600 --> 01:07:42,400
Speaker 1: you can't inject that in some of the if they

1414
01:07:42,440 --> 01:07:44,080
Speaker 1: don't have it. He has it. And I think his

1415
01:07:44,160 --> 01:07:46,360
Speaker 1: teammates are onto it, and I think Bills fans are

1416
01:07:46,360 --> 01:07:49,080
Speaker 1: getting onto a two. Yeah, I'll tell you that. I

1417
01:07:49,200 --> 01:07:51,240
Speaker 1: said three things just a minute ago. Yeah, before he

1418
01:07:51,280 --> 01:07:53,840
Speaker 1: banged the four things I was sent talking about this

1419
01:07:53,920 --> 01:07:57,240
Speaker 1: in the break. First of all, he's physically talented. Yeah,

1420
01:07:58,120 --> 01:08:03,000
Speaker 1: amazing athlete. He's big, big, big arm, he's fast, good

1421
01:08:03,040 --> 01:08:04,840
Speaker 1: with the ball in his hand. He can you know,

1422
01:08:05,200 --> 01:08:07,960
Speaker 1: great short yard is running back. I mean he's he's

1423
01:08:08,000 --> 01:08:10,880
Speaker 1: got all of that physically. The second thing is he's

1424
01:08:10,960 --> 01:08:14,760
Speaker 1: really smart. I mean you talk, he's really smart. You

1425
01:08:14,800 --> 01:08:17,120
Speaker 1: can tell by the way he's improved. He's getting it.

1426
01:08:17,200 --> 01:08:19,320
Speaker 1: He's watching it on film, transferring it to the game.

1427
01:08:19,400 --> 01:08:21,439
Speaker 1: He's watching what he sees on film and transferring to

1428
01:08:21,520 --> 01:08:24,160
Speaker 1: the games. He's seeing more things from the pocket. He's

1429
01:08:24,200 --> 01:08:27,439
Speaker 1: doing more things with his play. Where how he how

1430
01:08:27,479 --> 01:08:29,560
Speaker 1: he handled the pocket, how he handles pressure, how he

1431
01:08:29,680 --> 01:08:33,080
Speaker 1: handles time in the pocket, when he scrambles, where he

1432
01:08:33,200 --> 01:08:35,599
Speaker 1: throws it, throwing it away, all the stuff you can see.

1433
01:08:35,640 --> 01:08:40,240
Speaker 1: It's really evidence of how smart he is. Third thing,

1434
01:08:41,360 --> 01:08:43,240
Speaker 1: we've seen it, and we've everybody has said it that

1435
01:08:43,360 --> 01:08:47,000
Speaker 1: has come out of there. Derek Anderson, Matt Barkley, Brian Dable,

1436
01:08:47,200 --> 01:08:49,800
Speaker 1: they all note how hard he's working, and he's and

1437
01:08:49,960 --> 01:08:52,680
Speaker 1: he says he's he likes doing it. It's his thing.

1438
01:08:52,920 --> 01:08:56,000
Speaker 1: Is So the third thing he's physically talented, really smart,

1439
01:08:56,080 --> 01:08:58,560
Speaker 1: he's really hard working. And then you said it, he

1440
01:08:58,840 --> 01:09:01,840
Speaker 1: wants to win the game on every play, you know,

1441
01:09:02,479 --> 01:09:06,280
Speaker 1: and that I love it, man. I love that combination

1442
01:09:06,360 --> 01:09:08,800
Speaker 1: of traits and they're all their force all to see

1443
01:09:08,840 --> 01:09:12,800
Speaker 1: in a game like that yesterday. You know, we talk

1444
01:09:12,840 --> 01:09:14,400
Speaker 1: about it all the time. He was the best player

1445
01:09:14,439 --> 01:09:17,360
Speaker 1: on the field. He put the whole offense on his

1446
01:09:17,479 --> 01:09:20,360
Speaker 1: back and carried it at times. And the question is

1447
01:09:20,439 --> 01:09:22,320
Speaker 1: can they get him enough help so that he can

1448
01:09:22,800 --> 01:09:25,160
Speaker 1: not do that like that they can share the load

1449
01:09:25,280 --> 01:09:28,240
Speaker 1: with some guys around him. And when that happens, man,

1450
01:09:28,280 --> 01:09:30,439
Speaker 1: they're gonna be a handful. He's not perfect, right, You're

1451
01:09:30,479 --> 01:09:32,400
Speaker 1: not saying that he's perfect? No, no, not a long

1452
01:09:32,439 --> 01:09:34,880
Speaker 1: way to go. And there were some poor passes yesterday.

1453
01:09:34,920 --> 01:09:37,599
Speaker 1: There's some off target passes. But there's plenty of time

1454
01:09:37,640 --> 01:09:38,960
Speaker 1: to work on that. We got a caller on the

1455
01:09:39,040 --> 01:09:40,920
Speaker 1: line who has some thoughts on what he needs to

1456
01:09:41,000 --> 01:09:43,840
Speaker 1: do next. Is it Shamie in Buffalo? Is that how

1457
01:09:44,320 --> 01:09:49,559
Speaker 1: you say the name there? Shamie? Hello, that's me here? Hi? Hi?

1458
01:09:49,680 --> 01:09:51,800
Speaker 1: How are you doing good? He a new year. I

1459
01:09:51,960 --> 01:09:54,280
Speaker 1: just want to tell Steve that you know what you

1460
01:09:54,479 --> 01:09:57,320
Speaker 1: missed something here and Wolf on the radio yesterday and

1461
01:09:57,439 --> 01:10:00,240
Speaker 1: the entire team that were just fabulous. I mean, I

1462
01:10:00,400 --> 01:10:03,160
Speaker 1: enjoyed it so much. And the other thing I wanted

1463
01:10:03,200 --> 01:10:06,200
Speaker 1: to mention is that, you know, I think this young

1464
01:10:06,320 --> 01:10:13,360
Speaker 1: crew Wall is even Shock Larson, Josh, and you know Foster.

1465
01:10:13,520 --> 01:10:17,000
Speaker 1: These guys are all teachable and they're learning as they

1466
01:10:17,080 --> 01:10:19,720
Speaker 1: grow each each week. You see something new coming out

1467
01:10:19,760 --> 01:10:22,240
Speaker 1: of this team. And as a result of that, I

1468
01:10:22,360 --> 01:10:25,160
Speaker 1: am very very excited. But let's say, what does this

1469
01:10:25,960 --> 01:10:28,720
Speaker 1: mean for me as as a fan for Buffalo? Just

1470
01:10:28,800 --> 01:10:31,120
Speaker 1: give me Let me give you just a short history

1471
01:10:31,160 --> 01:10:34,759
Speaker 1: of myself. I did not come from a football background.

1472
01:10:35,400 --> 01:10:38,799
Speaker 1: I was at the University of Florida where I started

1473
01:10:38,840 --> 01:10:42,479
Speaker 1: to develop an a likeness for football. Came to Western

1474
01:10:42,520 --> 01:10:46,519
Speaker 1: New York fourteen years ago. Earlier this year, I had

1475
01:10:46,560 --> 01:10:49,479
Speaker 1: a CBR lost in my family that I wanted to

1476
01:10:49,560 --> 01:10:52,880
Speaker 1: go back to my home country Trinidad and Tobago. I

1477
01:10:53,080 --> 01:10:58,080
Speaker 1: just this win and this team has made me give

1478
01:10:58,200 --> 01:11:00,640
Speaker 1: me hope and reason that I want to be in

1479
01:11:00,720 --> 01:11:04,840
Speaker 1: Western New York for the rest of my life. Now

1480
01:11:04,960 --> 01:11:07,360
Speaker 1: that said, I also was hoping that I could get

1481
01:11:07,400 --> 01:11:09,479
Speaker 1: in touch with Josh and let him know that during

1482
01:11:09,520 --> 01:11:12,920
Speaker 1: the off season. I would love to go and be

1483
01:11:13,120 --> 01:11:16,800
Speaker 1: your resplacement on the farm for you. I don't want

1484
01:11:16,840 --> 01:11:20,320
Speaker 1: to go back there and do any kind of joors

1485
01:11:20,360 --> 01:11:22,800
Speaker 1: on the farm. I just want you to lock them

1486
01:11:23,240 --> 01:11:26,840

Speaker 1: know You're not gonna have to do that, believe me,

1491
01:11:40,520 --> 01:11:43,479
Speaker 1: But I appreciate the sentiment. You're right, and I'm I'm

1492
01:11:43,520 --> 01:11:45,439
Speaker 1: sorry about the loss in your family, but I'm glad

01:11:45,479 --> 01:11:50,440
Speaker 1: that you took so much comfort and excitement and inspiration

1494
01:11:50,560 --> 01:11:52,320
Speaker 1: from the way the team is played that and I

1495
01:11:52,520 --> 01:11:55,240
Speaker 1: agree with you, there's a lot to be excited about

1496
01:11:55,360 --> 01:11:59,439
Speaker 1: here and h but I'm sure that the family farm

1497
01:11:59,640 --> 01:12:02,880
Speaker 1: without Josh is doing just fine. Believe me. But yeah,

1498

Speaker 1: your point's well taken. There is a lot to be

1499

Speaker 1: excited about it. I'm and I'm glad you're such a fan.

1500
01:12:08,280 --> 01:12:11,880
Speaker 1: I guess. Yeah. Yeah, here's Jeff and Jamestown. Hello, Jeff,

1501
01:12:11,880 --> 01:12:14,519
Speaker 1: go hey, you're on the air with us. Yes, Uh,

1502
01:12:15,040 --> 01:12:20,960
Speaker 1: please to join the conversation. Uh, I got two things. Um,

1503
01:12:21,760 --> 01:12:23,920
Speaker 1: it's kind of an usual the NFL for things to

1504
01:12:24,160 --> 01:12:29,479
Speaker 1: end well. I mean, Bruce and Thurman and Jimmy, we

1505
01:12:29,560 --> 01:12:31,080
Speaker 1: didn't really know it was the end. When it was

1506
01:12:31,160 --> 01:12:33,000
Speaker 1: the end, I mean moved on to other teams. In

1507
01:12:33,200 --> 01:12:36,479
Speaker 1: some cases. We don't usually get days like that for

1508
01:12:37,439 --> 01:12:40,479
Speaker 1: our players, and my son wanted to stay at the

1509
01:12:40,520 --> 01:12:42,519
Speaker 1: end of the game. He heard the shout song a lot,

1510
01:12:42,920 --> 01:12:45,920
Speaker 1: and you got to probably over a hundred high fives

1511
01:12:46,040 --> 01:12:53,000
Speaker 1: and a great ending was is that it, Jeff, go ahead?

1512
01:12:53,080 --> 01:12:56,720
Speaker 1: Yeah more yeah. Yeah. The other thing about Josh, people

1513
01:12:56,760 --> 01:13:00,800
Speaker 1: are upset about day interception. I was kind of happy

1514
01:13:00,880 --> 01:13:03,200
Speaker 1: with how the interception ended. That was Josh making the

1515
01:13:03,320 --> 01:13:07,200
Speaker 1: tackle the goal line at the ball. I mean, we

1516
01:13:07,360 --> 01:13:09,479
Speaker 1: never saw Jim run so well is when he was

1517
01:13:09,600 --> 01:13:14,840
Speaker 1: chasing down somebody to Intercedin's a good point. That's a

1518
01:13:14,920 --> 01:13:20,600
Speaker 1: good point. That's uh, that's reminiscent of Yeah, Jim, no

1519
01:13:20,760 --> 01:13:22,840
Speaker 1: question about it. And you're right. And I think when

1520
01:13:22,880 --> 01:13:25,960
Speaker 1: you're a competitor like Josh is and I always said this,

1521
01:13:27,000 --> 01:13:29,120
Speaker 1: you know, Jim would run those guys down because when

1522
01:13:29,160 --> 01:13:31,519
Speaker 1: he threw an interception, he got angry about it. Josh

1523
01:13:31,720 --> 01:13:33,639
Speaker 1: the same way when he throws it, he goes after

1524
01:13:33,720 --> 01:13:36,320
Speaker 1: the guy. Uh, there's a lot of quarterbacks out there

1525
01:13:36,400 --> 01:13:39,200
Speaker 1: that start walking off the other direction. They don't try

1526
01:13:39,240 --> 01:13:42,040
Speaker 1: and get in the fray. Um. It says a lot

1527
01:13:42,080 --> 01:13:45,400
Speaker 1: about what Buffalo people like in their players and what

1528
01:13:45,560 --> 01:13:47,880
Speaker 1: they expect, but it also says something about the guy himself.

1529
01:13:47,960 --> 01:13:49,840
Speaker 1: You're right, um, And for the other thing, you're right

1530
01:13:50,120 --> 01:13:53,639
Speaker 1: for the is I've said it a lot. It rarely

1531
01:13:53,800 --> 01:13:57,360
Speaker 1: ends well for great players. That's a storybook ending yesterday, right.

1532
01:13:57,400 --> 01:13:59,680
Speaker 1: We had kyl in here Friday and he's walking out

1533
01:13:59,720 --> 01:14:01,400
Speaker 1: the door. We're saying good bye to him, and and

1534
01:14:01,520 --> 01:14:04,599
Speaker 1: we both told him most guys, many guys, most guys

1535
01:14:05,040 --> 01:14:07,720
Speaker 1: don't get a chance to leave on their terms. Right now.

1536
01:14:07,960 --> 01:14:09,280
Speaker 1: He didn't he do that, But it was like the

1537
01:14:09,400 --> 01:14:12,400
Speaker 1: perfect storybook yesterday right the way the game played, it

1538
01:14:12,479 --> 01:14:14,320
Speaker 1: was a super Bowl victory. Yeah, there's no other way

1539
01:14:14,360 --> 01:14:18,519
Speaker 1: to go out. And I've said this too, and people

1540
01:14:18,640 --> 01:14:21,400
Speaker 1: get it. If you're gonna end your career on your

1541
01:14:21,400 --> 01:14:24,840
Speaker 1: own terms, usually have to do it a little bit early.

1542
01:14:25,280 --> 01:14:27,280
Speaker 1: I don't think there's any question that Kyle, maybe if

1543
01:14:27,320 --> 01:14:30,880
Speaker 1: he wanted to come back for some smaller salary or whatever,

1544
01:14:30,920 --> 01:14:32,519
Speaker 1: he wanted to push it another year. They might have

1545
01:14:32,520 --> 01:14:36,000
Speaker 1: been very happy to have him back, but he certainly

1546
01:14:36,120 --> 01:14:39,960
Speaker 1: saved them the trouble of considering cutting him, you know,

1547
01:14:40,120 --> 01:14:42,439
Speaker 1: and to go out like he did yesterday. I think

1548
01:14:42,439 --> 01:14:45,639
Speaker 1: he's he's not going to have any regrets down the line.

1549
01:14:45,680 --> 01:14:48,200
Speaker 1: But a great way to end the season that win yesterday,

1550
01:14:48,240 --> 01:14:51,040
Speaker 1: the way Kyle went out. Lorenzo Alexander talked a little

1551
01:14:51,040 --> 01:14:53,200
Speaker 1: bit about it today in the locker room. It's locker

1552
01:14:53,360 --> 01:14:55,680
Speaker 1: clean out day. They have just about finished up up

1553
01:14:55,680 --> 01:14:59,719
Speaker 1: there in the locker room and builds a linebacker. Lorenzo

1554
01:14:59,760 --> 01:15:02,599
Speaker 1: alex talk to reporters in there a few moments ago

1555
01:15:02,680 --> 01:15:06,040
Speaker 1: about looking forward and the key players coming back next season.

1556
01:15:06,320 --> 01:15:10,080
Speaker 1: As this team moves forward. At the end of the day,

1557
01:15:10,080 --> 01:15:13,080
Speaker 1: I think it's pretty successful as far as the future. Obviously,

1558
01:15:13,160 --> 01:15:14,760
Speaker 1: we're not where we want to be as far as

1559
01:15:14,800 --> 01:15:16,960
Speaker 1: being and playing the playoffs and playing for a championship.

1560
01:15:19,560 --> 01:15:22,640
Speaker 1: So that's disappointing and sadness sense because I think we

1561
01:15:22,760 --> 01:15:24,880
Speaker 1: had three or so games out there would have probably

1562
01:15:25,000 --> 01:15:28,400
Speaker 1: changed our trajectory of our season. Obviously, Josh staying healthy

1563
01:15:28,400 --> 01:15:31,160
Speaker 1: too would have helped immensely in that. In that process,

1564
01:15:32,120 --> 01:15:34,719
Speaker 1: but things are looking bright and looking up for the future.

1565
01:15:34,800 --> 01:15:36,680
Speaker 1: I think we have a great young core here, from

1566
01:15:36,840 --> 01:15:41,160
Speaker 1: Josh to Tremaine, to Levi to Tremaine to Matt Milano,

1567
01:15:41,880 --> 01:15:44,599
Speaker 1: Robert Foster's a Zones. There's a lot of young talent

1568
01:15:44,720 --> 01:15:47,839
Speaker 1: here and we are we're in a position in prime

1569
01:15:47,960 --> 01:15:49,960
Speaker 1: to do something special. I think next year if guys

1570
01:15:50,720 --> 01:15:52,600
Speaker 1: really take advantage of this opportunity that we have with

1571
01:15:52,640 --> 01:15:54,559
Speaker 1: this offseason coming up, making sure that when we come

1572
01:15:54,600 --> 01:15:56,880
Speaker 1: back in April, that you're in shape, ready to go,

1573
01:15:57,160 --> 01:15:59,880
Speaker 1: ready to take that next step forward, and you know,

1574
01:16:00,000 --> 01:16:02,160
Speaker 1: adding to yourself, reinventing yourself. We don't want guys to

1575
01:16:02,200 --> 01:16:05,000
Speaker 1: have a sophomore slump often you have when you play young,

1576
01:16:05,120 --> 01:16:07,680
Speaker 1: have some success. Guys have film on you now, so

1577
01:16:07,840 --> 01:16:10,160
Speaker 1: how do you come back and overcome the natural human

1578
01:16:10,240 --> 01:16:12,640
Speaker 1: nature of just kind of relaxing a little bit. Um

1579
01:16:12,680 --> 01:16:15,200
Speaker 1: and then you add in with what we have cap wise,

1580
01:16:15,520 --> 01:16:17,000
Speaker 1: it's a lot of money there where you can bring

1581
01:16:17,080 --> 01:16:20,960
Speaker 1: in some premier m guys and certain key positions that

1582
01:16:21,000 --> 01:16:23,080
Speaker 1: we probably need, you know, obviously get shady going. I

1583
01:16:23,120 --> 01:16:25,599
Speaker 1: think it would be huge next year as well. Forced Um,

1584
01:16:25,680 --> 01:16:27,519
Speaker 1: So you add all that in, we stay healthy, We

1585
01:16:27,640 --> 01:16:30,120
Speaker 1: got a good shot of uh, you know, really creating

1586
01:16:30,160 --> 01:16:32,439
Speaker 1: that winning coaching that Sean has been talking about by

1587
01:16:32,520 --> 01:16:35,720
Speaker 1: trusting in that process. You really want to be part

1588
01:16:35,760 --> 01:16:38,280
Speaker 1: of this group? Yeah, I mean obviously I'm invested. I've

1589
01:16:38,280 --> 01:16:41,320
Speaker 1: been here three years, investing in the community, investing in

1590
01:16:41,400 --> 01:16:44,920
Speaker 1: this team, in the organization. UM. I would like to

1591
01:16:44,960 --> 01:16:46,280
Speaker 1: continue to be able to play here and be able

1592
01:16:46,280 --> 01:16:49,760
Speaker 1: to retire here. UM. But we'll see what happens. Have

1593
01:16:49,880 --> 01:16:53,960
Speaker 1: to go through that process with Brandon UM and work

1594
01:16:54,040 --> 01:16:56,920
Speaker 1: something mouth that is obviously fair to the organization as

1595
01:16:56,960 --> 01:16:59,760
Speaker 1: well as fair for me as well. Are you fine?

1596
01:17:00,000 --> 01:17:02,240
Speaker 1: How far and wrong are you? And kind of trying

1597
01:17:02,280 --> 01:17:04,320
Speaker 1: to figure out exactly what the future voice for you

1598
01:17:04,479 --> 01:17:10,040
Speaker 1: and in particular, I mean, we've started some some preliminary talks,

1599
01:17:10,800 --> 01:17:13,400
Speaker 1: just trying to get a filler out. Obviously, in my

1600
01:17:13,520 --> 01:17:16,479
Speaker 1: position at thirty six, playing the way I'm playing, I'm

1601
01:17:16,520 --> 01:17:19,519
Speaker 1: in a unique position. I'm also a unique commodity in

1602
01:17:19,560 --> 01:17:22,120
Speaker 1: this league because there's not many guys like me, So

1603
01:17:22,520 --> 01:17:25,280
Speaker 1: I think that kind of complicates the situation. You know, Obviously,

1604
01:17:25,320 --> 01:17:27,320
Speaker 1: if I was twenty six, twenty seven, you say, okay,

1605
01:17:27,439 --> 01:17:30,519
Speaker 1: here all the comps, here's your deal, let's work from here.

1606
01:17:30,680 --> 01:17:31,960
Speaker 1: You know. So what do you do with a guy

1607
01:17:32,000 --> 01:17:35,040
Speaker 1: that's thirty six still playing well? You know, is he

1608
01:17:35,080 --> 01:17:36,720
Speaker 1: gonna get hurt as he fallen off? You know? When

1609
01:17:36,840 --> 01:17:38,639
Speaker 1: is that process? So I think all of that comes

1610
01:17:38,680 --> 01:17:40,920
Speaker 1: in obviously from my point of view, I've done a

1611
01:17:40,960 --> 01:17:45,679
Speaker 1: great job along with the training staff here, the physical

1612
01:17:46,080 --> 01:17:48,120
Speaker 1: therapy staff, as well as far as keeping me going

1613
01:17:48,160 --> 01:17:50,360
Speaker 1: at a high level, keeping me healthy, having missed the

1614
01:17:50,400 --> 01:17:52,400
Speaker 1: game in the last five years, so I know I

1615
01:17:52,439 --> 01:17:54,599
Speaker 1: can go out there and still be productive at thirty six.

1616
01:17:55,320 --> 01:17:57,040
Speaker 1: And it's all about creating great habits. The same thing

1617
01:17:57,080 --> 01:17:59,360
Speaker 1: I'm trying to help these young guys understand as far

1618
01:17:59,400 --> 01:18:01,280
Speaker 1: as how to slow down father time and go out

1619
01:18:01,280 --> 01:18:03,320
Speaker 1: there still be productive. So I'm looking forward to doing that,

1620
01:18:04,360 --> 01:18:07,200
Speaker 1: hoping that is here and being part of something special

1621
01:18:07,280 --> 01:18:09,760
Speaker 1: that has kind of gotten started this year with this team.

1622
01:18:10,800 --> 01:18:12,960
Speaker 1: You know, with Kyle here, you guys losing Kyle in

1623
01:18:13,000 --> 01:18:15,479
Speaker 1: this locker room as one of the leaders. Yeah, you

1624
01:18:15,560 --> 01:18:17,960
Speaker 1: know that's the role that you've filled as well with him, right,

1625
01:18:18,000 --> 01:18:20,880
Speaker 1: Does that take on edited importance for you to return

1626
01:18:21,439 --> 01:18:23,640
Speaker 1: for that leadership role? Um? I would hope. So, you know,

1627
01:18:23,680 --> 01:18:26,200
Speaker 1: obviously from you know, management looking down as far as

1628
01:18:26,280 --> 01:18:28,559
Speaker 1: what I bring here. Um, obviously, if I am here,

1629
01:18:28,680 --> 01:18:30,720
Speaker 1: I have to expand it. But I think when when

1630
01:18:30,840 --> 01:18:35,400
Speaker 1: guys leave, especially if a Kyle's caliber, it offers an

1631
01:18:35,439 --> 01:18:38,559
Speaker 1: opportunity for younger guys, whoever that may be, or somebody

1632
01:18:38,600 --> 01:18:41,519
Speaker 1: that's older, maybe like a Micah, to kind of grow

1633
01:18:41,800 --> 01:18:44,400
Speaker 1: who they are as leaders as well, UM, kind of

1634
01:18:44,439 --> 01:18:45,880
Speaker 1: get out of their comfort zone and kind of help

1635
01:18:45,880 --> 01:18:48,760
Speaker 1: because we're gonna need more than just myself if we

1636
01:18:48,880 --> 01:18:50,200
Speaker 1: want to be great next year. I think we need

1637
01:18:50,240 --> 01:18:52,320
Speaker 1: some guys to develop, especially on the office society, as

1638
01:18:52,360 --> 01:18:54,640
Speaker 1: well as special teams to kind of come to the

1639
01:18:54,680 --> 01:18:57,320
Speaker 1: forefront so that we have a consistent high level and

1640
01:18:57,439 --> 01:19:00,920
Speaker 1: standards set by certain guys in those areas as well.

1641
01:19:01,000 --> 01:19:03,840
Speaker 1: So I'm not saw fair would be to interpret what

1642
01:19:03,960 --> 01:19:05,680
Speaker 1: you're saying that you would be selected to get to

1643
01:19:05,840 --> 01:19:09,160
Speaker 1: March and see what the market might pull for you before. UM,

1644
01:19:10,240 --> 01:19:11,840
Speaker 1: I don't necessarily have to wait to get to the

1645
01:19:11,920 --> 01:19:14,120
Speaker 1: market if I think it's a deal that's fair to

1646
01:19:14,320 --> 01:19:18,439
Speaker 1: me and what I bring in skill set. I don't

1647
01:19:18,479 --> 01:19:19,840
Speaker 1: need to play the game of winning to the market

1648
01:19:19,840 --> 01:19:21,560
Speaker 1: because I want to be here, um, you know, and

1649
01:19:21,640 --> 01:19:23,360
Speaker 1: now it's it's something different, and if it's something that

1650
01:19:23,400 --> 01:19:25,920
Speaker 1: I feel that's not being done in an appropriate way,

1651
01:19:25,960 --> 01:19:28,120
Speaker 1: then maybe I do that and see where I want

1652
01:19:28,120 --> 01:19:29,439
Speaker 1: to be at. But I have a family, I mean,

1653
01:19:29,520 --> 01:19:31,400
Speaker 1: and like I said, we're invested in this community. My

1654
01:19:31,520 --> 01:19:33,240
Speaker 1: kids go to school here, and my wife loves it here.

1655
01:19:33,240 --> 01:19:36,559
Speaker 1: We have a great friendship and base here. So if

1656
01:19:36,640 --> 01:19:38,040
Speaker 1: I don't have to do that to my family, I

1657
01:19:38,120 --> 01:19:40,360
Speaker 1: don't want to. And so hopefully that this you know,

1658
01:19:40,439 --> 01:19:42,080
Speaker 1: this is the hardest part of the NFL, right, it

1659
01:19:42,240 --> 01:19:45,519
Speaker 1: is the business side of it. So just hopefully we

1660
01:19:45,600 --> 01:19:48,120
Speaker 1: can get through it with the least amount of complications

1661
01:19:48,240 --> 01:19:51,640
Speaker 1: and everything goes as smoothly as possible. Lawren to Alexander

01:19:51,680 --> 01:19:53,800
Speaker 1: meeting with the media locker clean out day here at

1663
01:19:53,880 --> 01:19:57,400
Speaker 1: the new air Field. And I've said this before, he's

1664
01:19:57,439 --> 01:19:59,080
Speaker 1: one of you know, he's on our show every Friday,

1665
01:19:59,240 --> 01:20:01,160
Speaker 1: Love talking to lor So, one of the most self

1666
01:20:01,280 --> 01:20:03,680
Speaker 1: aware players they've ever come across. Even he said it

1667
01:20:03,800 --> 01:20:05,799
Speaker 1: just now a couple of minutes ago in an interview

1668
01:20:05,920 --> 01:20:08,680
Speaker 1: that he did, you know, talking about his age and

1669
01:20:08,800 --> 01:20:10,559
Speaker 1: how he's not twenty six, he's not going to get

1670
01:20:10,600 --> 01:20:12,839
Speaker 1: that kind of money even with his record of production,

1671
01:20:13,040 --> 01:20:14,880
Speaker 1: but what he wants. I mean, he's very much aware

1672
01:20:14,880 --> 01:20:17,479
Speaker 1: of who he is, what his posture is on this team,

1673
01:20:17,760 --> 01:20:19,400
Speaker 1: what he has to offer this team. He doesn't sound

1674
01:20:19,520 --> 01:20:21,679
Speaker 1: himself short. He's got a lot to offer. In fact,

1675
01:20:21,960 --> 01:20:24,760
Speaker 1: with Kyle's departure, Lorenzo's value may go up a little

1676
01:20:24,760 --> 01:20:26,880
Speaker 1: bit in terms of leadership, I would think, and certainly

1677
01:20:27,800 --> 01:20:29,479
Speaker 1: the crucial nature of what he does in the locker

1678
01:20:29,560 --> 01:20:32,599
Speaker 1: room's gonna remained and may be enhanced, like he said,

1679
01:20:32,640 --> 01:20:34,240
Speaker 1: he may, you know, they need that voice in there.

1680
01:20:34,240 --> 01:20:36,800
Speaker 1: They need one more guy to stick around and transition

1681
01:20:36,960 --> 01:20:40,719
Speaker 1: from one more year without a year without Kyle into

1682
01:20:40,760 --> 01:20:42,840
Speaker 1: a year with Tremaine Edmonds as the as the leader,

1683
01:20:42,920 --> 01:20:46,320
Speaker 1: or a year with Josh Allen as the leader. Yeah,

1684
01:20:48,960 --> 01:20:50,920
Speaker 1: Lorenzo's got a lot to say about what happens, and

1685
01:20:51,479 --> 01:20:52,880
Speaker 1: it's going to be up to him as to whether

1686
01:20:52,920 --> 01:20:55,040
Speaker 1: he can And like he says, it's gonna be up

1687
01:20:55,040 --> 01:20:56,680
Speaker 1: to the Bills to give him a number, you know,

1688
01:20:56,760 --> 01:20:58,479
Speaker 1: and he's gonna have to evaluate whether it's going to

1689
01:20:58,520 --> 01:21:02,240
Speaker 1: be worth it for him because at thirty six, if

1690
01:21:02,280 --> 01:21:04,000
Speaker 1: he's going to turn into a free agent, then he's

1691
01:21:04,040 --> 01:21:05,560
Speaker 1: got his side. Man, do I really want to go

1692
01:21:05,640 --> 01:21:08,320
Speaker 1: start over in another city, just to you know, and

1693
01:21:08,840 --> 01:21:10,280
Speaker 1: what am I going to get from another team? And

1694
01:21:10,880 --> 01:21:13,000
Speaker 1: certainly there's there's an aspect of it that he will

1695
01:21:13,040 --> 01:21:15,400
Speaker 1: probably maybe get more from another team than he would

1696
01:21:15,439 --> 01:21:17,960
Speaker 1: from the Bills. There's that to be considered. But what's

1697
01:21:18,000 --> 01:21:19,640
Speaker 1: it worth to him to end it here and to

1698
01:21:19,760 --> 01:21:22,400
Speaker 1: be here if any So, yeah, you're right, he's a

1699
01:21:22,520 --> 01:21:25,479
Speaker 1: he's an incredibly self aware of guys, really articulate. We

1700
01:21:25,720 --> 01:21:29,280
Speaker 1: love having him on our show every week and hum

1701
01:21:29,960 --> 01:21:32,799
Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of people, he's their favorite

1702
01:21:32,840 --> 01:21:36,040
Speaker 1: guest all of that, so you know, I mean so right,

1703
01:21:36,280 --> 01:21:39,160
Speaker 1: So it's gonna be fun to see him come back

1704
01:21:39,200 --> 01:21:40,920
Speaker 1: if they can get him to do that. And it's

1705
01:21:40,960 --> 01:21:42,479
Speaker 1: interesting and I think both you and I think he's

1706
01:21:42,479 --> 01:21:44,680
Speaker 1: an important piece that they got to make sure that

1707
01:21:44,840 --> 01:21:47,160
Speaker 1: stays in place. Josh Allen then a couple of moments ago,

1708
01:21:47,160 --> 01:21:49,000
Speaker 1: he didn't want to talk too much about the Kiko

1709
01:21:49,040 --> 01:21:53,439
Speaker 1: Alonzo playing Kiko with a late hint while Josh was sliding. Uh.

1710
01:21:53,560 --> 01:21:56,799
Speaker 1: It was kind of a riveting play. They got everybody excited,

1711
01:21:56,920 --> 01:22:00,679
Speaker 1: including my broadcast partner Mark Kelso on the Bill Radio Network.

1712
01:22:00,720 --> 01:22:02,600
Speaker 1: I hope you heard it yesterday, but here's what it

1713
01:22:02,680 --> 01:22:06,280
Speaker 1: sounded like. The play where Kiko Alonso got thrown out

1714
01:22:06,320 --> 01:22:08,479
Speaker 1: of the game for a late hit on Josh Allen.

1715
01:22:08,600 --> 01:22:12,519
Speaker 1: And listen to how Kelso gets into this. At the fifteen,

1716
01:22:12,760 --> 01:22:15,040
Speaker 1: slides down at the ten yard line and the flags

1717
01:22:15,080 --> 01:22:17,040
Speaker 1: come in. He was hit as he went down. It

1718
01:22:17,160 --> 01:22:20,240
Speaker 1: better be a bet scrawling Alonzo hit us as he

1719
01:22:20,280 --> 01:22:22,880
Speaker 1: slid down at the ten yards got the first down.

1720
01:22:23,320 --> 01:22:26,760
Speaker 1: Leave the bet on after leave the bets. That is bullcrap.

1721
01:22:27,320 --> 01:22:30,200
Speaker 1: And now he didn't even hit He didn't hit Josh

1722
01:22:30,280 --> 01:22:33,080
Speaker 1: Ellen in that situation. He actually hit his own guy.

1723
01:22:33,160 --> 01:22:35,599
Speaker 1: But it was late and Keiko needs to be ejected

1724
01:22:35,680 --> 01:22:38,800
Speaker 1: from the game. Get him out of here. It's ridiculous.

1725
01:22:39,280 --> 01:22:41,200
Speaker 1: Josh is okay, by the way, walks back to where

1726
01:22:41,240 --> 01:22:43,080
Speaker 1: the hunda will be. They're still scrumming down on the

1727
01:22:43,120 --> 01:22:45,200
Speaker 1: field goal. They need to scrum he needs to have

1728
01:22:46,080 --> 01:22:47,840
Speaker 1: He needs to be taught a lesson on that one.

1729
01:22:47,840 --> 01:22:49,840
Speaker 1: That's the same thing he did the flat gole last year.

1730
01:22:50,160 --> 01:22:53,840
Speaker 1: That was bullcrap right there. That is not appropriate any game.

1731
01:22:53,880 --> 01:22:57,920
Speaker 1: It's disrespectful the game, disrespectful the opponents. I'm ready to

1732
01:22:57,960 --> 01:23:01,040
Speaker 1: get down here and take care of more. There is

1733
01:23:01,200 --> 01:23:04,200
Speaker 1: Mark Kelso you gotta love it. Mild mannered Mark Kels.

1734
01:23:04,280 --> 01:23:08,240
Speaker 1: Just gotta love it. It's in truth. Leave the badge,

1735
01:23:08,360 --> 01:23:12,120
Speaker 1: leave the Yeah, let's get kifty guys thrown out right. Uh,

1736
01:23:13,320 --> 01:23:14,960
Speaker 1: but it was it was it was a late hit.

1737
01:23:15,280 --> 01:23:18,000
Speaker 1: Keiko did it on purpose. Uh. You can make all

1738
01:23:18,040 --> 01:23:20,559
Speaker 1: the statements you wanted about Slider or not Josh lid

1739
01:23:20,640 --> 01:23:23,240
Speaker 1: feet first. Keiko came in head first. Now he tried

1740
01:23:23,320 --> 01:23:25,840
Speaker 1: to hit him with his back, not his helmet, but

1741
01:23:26,080 --> 01:23:27,639
Speaker 1: that was a it was a it was a poor,

1742
01:23:28,080 --> 01:23:31,559
Speaker 1: poor excuse for uh, you know, trying to get away

1743
01:23:31,640 --> 01:23:34,720
Speaker 1: with one and uh, and you know I've said it

1744
01:23:34,760 --> 01:23:36,680
Speaker 1: a bunch of Mike butt Coer was the first guy

1745
01:23:36,720 --> 01:23:38,400
Speaker 1: in there, but there were six or seven other guys,

1746
01:23:38,439 --> 01:23:40,719
Speaker 1: and of course Jordan Mills is the guy who actually

1747
01:23:40,760 --> 01:23:43,479
Speaker 1: got thrown out in the whole thing. And uh forgetting

1748
01:23:43,520 --> 01:23:46,360
Speaker 1: his face mask, forgetting his face mask pulled. So it

1749
01:23:46,560 --> 01:23:48,360
Speaker 1: was it was pretty ugly. And there were some other

1750
01:23:48,439 --> 01:23:50,599
Speaker 1: things during the game that were kind of chippy as well,

1751
01:23:51,040 --> 01:23:54,479
Speaker 1: but this was certainly the highlight of it. Um Keiko

1752
01:23:54,560 --> 01:23:57,559
Speaker 1: getting thrown out of the stadium for hitting late hit

1753
01:23:57,600 --> 01:23:59,320
Speaker 1: on the quarterback of the team that drafted him, and

1754
01:23:59,439 --> 01:24:04,200
Speaker 1: Kelso's action was a highlight to absolutely price. A call

1755
01:24:04,320 --> 01:24:06,040
Speaker 1: on the line here from Mike in Orchard Park, Home

1756
01:24:06,080 --> 01:24:09,000
Speaker 1: on Mike, you're on the air, Hey listen. Speaking of highlights,

1757
01:24:09,040 --> 01:24:10,720
Speaker 1: I think yesterday as a thirty nine year old, it

1758
01:24:10,800 --> 01:24:12,160
Speaker 1: was a great day to be a Billstan for a

1759
01:24:12,200 --> 01:24:14,720
Speaker 1: couple of reasons. It's wonderful to see Kyle Williams walk

1760
01:24:14,800 --> 01:24:17,760
Speaker 1: off as he should. It's very rare in life and

1761
01:24:17,880 --> 01:24:19,760
Speaker 1: in sports that somebody gets to end in their own terms,

1762
01:24:19,800 --> 01:24:21,400
Speaker 1: and it was great to be there to watch him

1763
01:24:21,439 --> 01:24:23,960
Speaker 1: do that. I think also too, on a human level,

1764
01:24:24,400 --> 01:24:27,040
Speaker 1: these guys what I really enjoy about this team is

1765
01:24:27,439 --> 01:24:30,479
Speaker 1: they respect the platform that they have. They realize that

1766
01:24:30,520 --> 01:24:33,480
Speaker 1: they can do good things for people with the visibility

1767
01:24:33,560 --> 01:24:35,439
Speaker 1: that they have. It's wonderful to see the macim in

1768
01:24:35,479 --> 01:24:37,439
Speaker 1: the community to call her a few minutes ago from

1769
01:24:37,479 --> 01:24:39,560
Speaker 1: Trinidad and who spoke to how the team buyings and

1770
01:24:39,640 --> 01:24:41,720
Speaker 1: how the team helped him through a difficult time. It's

1771
01:24:41,760 --> 01:24:44,200
Speaker 1: wonderful and these guys get it, and I think, congratulations

1772
01:24:44,240 --> 01:24:46,960
Speaker 1: to to you, John. It was a great call yesterday.

1773
01:24:46,960 --> 01:24:48,960
Speaker 1: I loved listening to the game. I love where this

1774
01:24:49,040 --> 01:24:51,840
Speaker 1: team is headed. I can't wait. As somebody who's been

1775
01:24:51,840 --> 01:24:53,360
Speaker 1: around for a long time, listen, I've sat in that

1776
01:24:53,439 --> 01:24:55,639
Speaker 1: stadium since I was five years old. It's not always

1777
01:24:55,680 --> 01:24:57,439
Speaker 1: easy to be a Bill stand But I gotta tell

1778
01:24:57,439 --> 01:24:58,920
Speaker 1: you what. I can't wait for next year for a

1779
01:24:59,040 --> 01:25:00,760
Speaker 1: variety of reasons, and one of them is because I

1780
01:25:00,880 --> 01:25:05,160
Speaker 1: can't wait to hear you call a big game next January. Yeah,

1781
01:25:06,240 --> 01:25:08,360
Speaker 1: I can't wait for next year. We'll see it in thanks, Mike.

1782
01:25:08,520 --> 01:25:10,559
Speaker 1: We do need big games. We need playoff games. See,

1783
01:25:10,600 --> 01:25:13,760
Speaker 1: we need them next year seriously, right, I mean yeah,

1784
01:25:13,760 --> 01:25:15,840
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not gonna says ticking. They got to

1785
01:25:15,880 --> 01:25:18,680
Speaker 1: produce this that, But there's no question the Bills are

1786
01:25:18,760 --> 01:25:21,040
Speaker 1: headed in the right direction. I think you know when

1787
01:25:21,080 --> 01:25:22,920
Speaker 1: I was singing this one, we're listening to Lorenzo a

1788
01:25:23,000 --> 01:25:26,400
Speaker 1: minute ago, and you know they re signed Derek Anderson

1789
01:25:26,600 --> 01:25:29,360
Speaker 1: and Matt Barkley. Two years in this group being and

1790
01:25:29,439 --> 01:25:31,920
Speaker 1: McDermott have identified the type they want, the type of

1791
01:25:31,960 --> 01:25:34,639
Speaker 1: player they want, knowing they have huge holes to fill.

1792
01:25:34,880 --> 01:25:37,560
Speaker 1: But I think now they are kind of consolidating what

1793
01:25:37,680 --> 01:25:39,920
Speaker 1: they have, keeping that group around them, and I think

1794
01:25:39,960 --> 01:25:42,080
Speaker 1: that bodes it very well. For the future, I really do,

1795
01:25:42,400 --> 01:25:45,360
Speaker 1: all right, I don't know. I mean, at the end

1796
01:25:45,400 --> 01:25:49,240
Speaker 1: of Sean mcdermot's second year, just about to begin the

1797
01:25:49,320 --> 01:25:52,400
Speaker 1: calendar year of his third full year here, two full

1798
01:25:52,479 --> 01:25:56,080
Speaker 1: years in, I don't know that you could be sitting

1799
01:25:56,120 --> 01:25:59,000
Speaker 1: in a place that would be any more optimistic than

1800
01:25:59,040 --> 01:26:02,840
Speaker 1: the one they're sitting in right now. Now. Certainly, it

1801
01:26:02,920 --> 01:26:04,680
Speaker 1: could all go off the rails. I mean, you know,

1802
01:26:05,080 --> 01:26:07,639
Speaker 1: it happens all the time in the NFL. Something happens,

1803
01:26:07,680 --> 01:26:10,679
Speaker 1: the wrong guy gets hurt, somebody, you know, whatever, somebody

1804
01:26:10,680 --> 01:26:13,680
Speaker 1: gets arrested. You know, we've all seen a million scenarios

1805
01:26:13,720 --> 01:26:16,080
Speaker 1: where it kind of comes apart little by little. But

1806
01:26:16,439 --> 01:26:18,960
Speaker 1: where the team sits right now, particularly after a big

1807
01:26:19,000 --> 01:26:22,360
Speaker 1: win yesterday, with the future that it looks like they've

1808
01:26:22,400 --> 01:26:24,840
Speaker 1: got at quarterback, with the way they were able to

1809
01:26:24,880 --> 01:26:27,760
Speaker 1: assemble a defense and put that together, now see if

1810
01:26:27,800 --> 01:26:29,280
Speaker 1: they can do it on the other side of the football.

1811
01:26:29,560 --> 01:26:33,400
Speaker 1: It's hard to imagine before they get into the free agency,

1812
01:26:33,479 --> 01:26:35,120
Speaker 1: with all the money to spend in a draft, with

1813
01:26:35,240 --> 01:26:38,479
Speaker 1: all the picks they have, it's hard to imagine the

1814
01:26:38,600 --> 01:26:41,479
Speaker 1: franchise being in a more optimistic place than it is

1815
01:26:41,560 --> 01:26:44,439
Speaker 1: right now. With all the promise they've seen on the

1816
01:26:44,560 --> 01:26:47,120
Speaker 1: field with the young players and their ability to coach

1817
01:26:47,160 --> 01:26:48,880
Speaker 1: them up. Like we've had some people chime in on

1818
01:26:48,960 --> 01:26:51,519
Speaker 1: Twitter today, the fact that they've had young players that

1819
01:26:51,600 --> 01:26:56,080
Speaker 1: were afterthoughts for everybody, to be coached up and tutored

1820
01:26:56,520 --> 01:27:00,559
Speaker 1: and embraced into the culture and then have them flourish

1821
01:27:00,640 --> 01:27:02,920
Speaker 1: in the way that they had in an unexpectedly good

1822
01:27:03,000 --> 01:27:06,400
Speaker 1: way is really speaks volumes about who they've got in

1823
01:27:06,800 --> 01:27:11,720
Speaker 1: place at coaching, who they've got as key players, who

1824
01:27:11,760 --> 01:27:15,360
Speaker 1: they've got making personnel decisions, and how they've positioned the

1825
01:27:15,439 --> 01:27:19,519
Speaker 1: franchise from this point into this offseason. Like I said,

1826
01:27:19,560 --> 01:27:21,960
Speaker 1: it's hard to imagine them being in a more optimistic

1827
01:27:22,040 --> 01:27:23,800
Speaker 1: place with a lot of work to go. Steve's gonna

1828
01:27:23,920 --> 01:27:25,320
Speaker 1: come back and tell us a little bit about the

1829
01:27:25,360 --> 01:27:28,759
Speaker 1: game he saw late yesterday at Hines Field right in Pittsburgh.

1830
01:27:28,880 --> 01:27:32,280
Speaker 1: These Bengals in Pittsburgh. Sideline sounds from Bows coming up

1831
01:27:32,320 --> 01:27:34,880
Speaker 1: when we return One Bills Live from One Bill's Drive,

1832
01:27:34,960 --> 01:27:37,840
Speaker 1: presented by Collat of Health, and this is Buffalo Bills Radio.

1833
01:27:50,479 --> 01:27:53,439
Speaker 1: Canna help checks out the Buffalo defense waiting for the snap,

1834
01:27:53,600 --> 01:27:56,000
Speaker 1: gets it just before the clock lines Now cann I'll

1835
01:27:56,040 --> 01:27:58,680
Speaker 1: fire short intercept it for me. It Advance has it

1836
01:27:58,880 --> 01:28:01,200
Speaker 1: at the thirty five yard line, cuts down the left side.

1837
01:28:01,439 --> 01:28:03,839
Speaker 1: They bottled them up and prop them at the nineteen

1838
01:28:03,920 --> 01:28:08,280
Speaker 1: yard line. Jermaine Edmonds with a second interception to the season.

1839
01:28:08,320 --> 01:28:11,040
Speaker 1: The advance alarm defensive play of the game. Advanced Alarm

1840
01:28:11,479 --> 01:28:14,200
Speaker 1: providing Western New York's homes and businesses with the finess

1841
01:28:14,280 --> 01:28:17,120
Speaker 1: and security and home theater. He preferred an alarm and

1842
01:28:17,200 --> 01:28:19,559
Speaker 1: home theater provider of the Buffalo Bills. John Murphy Steve

1843
01:28:19,600 --> 01:28:22,439
Speaker 1: Tasker as we motored through our New Year's Eve edition

1844
01:28:22,520 --> 01:28:25,360
Speaker 1: of One Bills Live. Happy New hear everybody, Happy New Year, Steve.

1845
01:28:25,400 --> 01:28:28,759
Speaker 1: You spent yesterday on the sidelines for the NFL on CBS.

1846
01:28:28,880 --> 01:28:32,200
Speaker 1: Saw a pretty good game the Pittsburgh Steelers and the

1847
01:28:32,280 --> 01:28:34,599
Speaker 1: Cincinnati Bengals. What did you hear on the sidelines? Yeah,

1848
01:28:34,640 --> 01:28:36,879
Speaker 1: Sideline sounds brought to you by Bows, the official headphones

1849
01:28:36,880 --> 01:28:38,400
Speaker 1: of the Buffalo Bills. One of the things that's going

1850
01:28:38,439 --> 01:28:40,160
Speaker 1: on in Pittsburgh. They're out of the playoffs. They had

1851
01:28:40,200 --> 01:28:42,840
Speaker 1: a chance to get in and much like very eerily

1852
01:28:42,920 --> 01:28:48,080
Speaker 1: similar to the Bills situation in two sixteen or seventeen.

1853
01:28:49,000 --> 01:28:51,000
Speaker 1: They waited to see the end of another game, and

1854
01:28:51,400 --> 01:28:53,719
Speaker 1: it looked like Baltimore is gonna get snapped off again

1855
01:28:53,840 --> 01:28:56,400
Speaker 1: like they did to put the Bills in two years ago.

1856
01:28:56,479 --> 01:28:58,280
Speaker 1: But what happened was it didn't come to fruition. And

1857
01:28:58,320 --> 01:29:00,559
Speaker 1: the Steelers are out of the playoffs for the fifth

1858
01:29:00,640 --> 01:29:03,720
Speaker 1: time in the fifteen year career of Ben Roethlisberger. And

1859
01:29:03,800 --> 01:29:05,639
Speaker 1: in Pittsburgh, as you can imagine, they're kind of used

1860
01:29:05,640 --> 01:29:07,880
Speaker 1: to go into the playoffs. They've been four out of

1861
01:29:07,880 --> 01:29:09,880
Speaker 1: the last four years. This is the fifth year and

1862
01:29:09,920 --> 01:29:12,560
Speaker 1: they're not in the playoffs this year. And there's some

1863
01:29:12,640 --> 01:29:16,240
Speaker 1: people in Pittsburgh. There's always this element of people that say, listen,

1864
01:29:16,479 --> 01:29:18,879
Speaker 1: it's time for us to make some changes. Mike Tomlin's

1865
01:29:18,920 --> 01:29:21,720
Speaker 1: been here awhile, let's get you know, let's get some

1866
01:29:21,800 --> 01:29:25,400
Speaker 1: fresh blood, and let's do some make some changes. Maybe

1867
01:29:25,439 --> 01:29:28,320
Speaker 1: not to blow it up and start again. But here's

1868
01:29:28,360 --> 01:29:31,280
Speaker 1: the thing, I think that would be an enormous mistake

1869
01:29:31,840 --> 01:29:34,920
Speaker 1: for the Pittsburgh Steelers organization to do. Mike Tomlin is

1870
01:29:35,000 --> 01:29:37,559
Speaker 1: a coach that the players believe in, and we've spoken

1871
01:29:37,600 --> 01:29:39,840
Speaker 1: to a number of them. He is impressive in person

1872
01:29:39,920 --> 01:29:42,880
Speaker 1: and on the sidelines. He knows enough about this team

1873
01:29:42,920 --> 01:29:46,120
Speaker 1: to fix it. And I think that, as my sideline sounds,

1874
01:29:46,439 --> 01:29:48,719
Speaker 1: it would be smart for the Pittsburgh Steelers to rely

1875
01:29:48,840 --> 01:29:50,920
Speaker 1: on Mike Tomlin to fix the problems that they have.

1876
01:29:51,280 --> 01:29:54,120
Speaker 1: They are not extensive. That is a good football team

1877
01:29:54,320 --> 01:29:56,920
Speaker 1: who lost three games in the last month by three

1878
01:29:57,040 --> 01:30:00,680
Speaker 1: points each, which would have changed the entire trajectory. At

1879
01:30:00,680 --> 01:30:02,639
Speaker 1: the end of their season, they're out of the playoffs.

1880
01:30:02,920 --> 01:30:05,240
Speaker 1: But in my opinion, the Steelers don't have much to

1881
01:30:05,360 --> 01:30:08,720
Speaker 1: fix on their team, and I would advise them to

1882
01:30:08,840 --> 01:30:11,240
Speaker 1: keep keep on keeping on because they're a really good team.

1883
01:30:11,400 --> 01:30:13,639
Speaker 1: Question for you, And I'm not an anti Steeler guy,

1884
01:30:13,680 --> 01:30:15,639
Speaker 1: and I'm not an anti Timlin guy, but I've often

1885
01:30:15,720 --> 01:30:19,479
Speaker 1: wondered and listen to you talk about Timelin today. Where

1886
01:30:19,520 --> 01:30:24,040
Speaker 1: does his expertise lie Mike Tomlin. Well, he's a defensive coordinator.

1887
01:30:24,280 --> 01:30:28,640
Speaker 1: But here's the thing. A defensive expert guru? Is he? No?

1888
01:30:29,080 --> 01:30:31,360
Speaker 1: I don't know what he is. No, I don't asking

1889
01:30:32,080 --> 01:30:35,760
Speaker 1: tremendous leader, a tremendous motivator, and a tremendous locker room

1890
01:30:35,800 --> 01:30:39,080
Speaker 1: and team manager of the emotion of and on the

1891
01:30:39,200 --> 01:30:41,479
Speaker 1: game side. And he's been criticized at times for you know,

1892
01:30:41,840 --> 01:30:44,320
Speaker 1: like every coach is for clock management and all of that,

1893
01:30:44,520 --> 01:30:47,000
Speaker 1: but you know every guy goes through that. That guy,

1894
01:30:47,040 --> 01:30:50,439
Speaker 1: I think he's got it really together. He handles the

1895
01:30:50,439 --> 01:30:52,200
Speaker 1: players coming on. I was standing right next to the

1896
01:30:52,320 --> 01:30:53,960
Speaker 1: end of the bench area all day yesterday and I've

1897
01:30:54,000 --> 01:30:57,280
Speaker 1: done it many times before. He handles his player coming

1898
01:30:57,320 --> 01:30:59,760
Speaker 1: on and going off the field as well as any

1899
01:30:59,800 --> 01:31:02,439
Speaker 1: head coach in the NFL. He is on them both

1900
01:31:02,600 --> 01:31:06,439
Speaker 1: positively and negatively, and I think those players really respond

1901
01:31:06,479 --> 01:31:10,360
Speaker 1: to him. You rarely ever see the Steelers not play well,

1902
01:31:10,479 --> 01:31:12,680
Speaker 1: and I think he is the large reason why. And

1903
01:31:13,120 --> 01:31:16,599
Speaker 1: at this time and today, when there's eight head coaches

1904
01:31:17,000 --> 01:31:19,200
Speaker 1: around the National Football League who are looking for work,

1905
01:31:19,680 --> 01:31:23,000
Speaker 1: it is my opinion Mike Tomlin should not be one

1906
01:31:23,040 --> 01:31:24,559
Speaker 1: of them, and not for a long long time. As

1907
01:31:24,680 --> 01:31:28,040
Speaker 1: if organizations had three head coaches in fifty years. This

1908
01:31:28,240 --> 01:31:31,479
Speaker 1: year marks the fiftieth year. That's Steelers with only three

1909
01:31:31,560 --> 01:31:34,479
Speaker 1: head coaches in that time. And there's a reason for it.

1910
01:31:34,920 --> 01:31:37,040
Speaker 1: One more question for you and Steve was Aaron hinesfield

1911
01:31:37,080 --> 01:31:40,280
Speaker 1: for the NFL on CBS yesterday. Steelers game ends and

1912
01:31:40,360 --> 01:31:43,880
Speaker 1: they're still awaiting the result from Baltimore and players watch

1913
01:31:43,920 --> 01:31:45,320
Speaker 1: it on the field. Did I see that? I saw

1914
01:31:45,400 --> 01:31:49,000
Speaker 1: pictures of people watch players watching the scoreboard. Not all

1915
01:31:49,000 --> 01:31:51,280
Speaker 1: the players, but there was maybe six or seven or

1916
01:31:51,360 --> 01:31:54,040
Speaker 1: eight of them that stayed out and caught it on

1917
01:31:54,080 --> 01:31:55,760
Speaker 1: the big screen in the midst of the crowd in

1918
01:31:55,800 --> 01:32:00,920
Speaker 1: the stands. And as you can imagine, there were some

1919
01:32:01,120 --> 01:32:03,920
Speaker 1: ups and downs before it was finally you know that

1920
01:32:04,040 --> 01:32:07,240
Speaker 1: finally was taken away from them by the interception in Baltimore.

1921
01:32:07,320 --> 01:32:10,040
Speaker 1: But it was quite a moment, and it was it

1922
01:32:10,160 --> 01:32:12,120
Speaker 1: was pretty exciting, and I was writing them on the

1923
01:32:12,160 --> 01:32:14,080
Speaker 1: field with them and amidst a lot of press people.

1924
01:32:14,240 --> 01:32:15,519
Speaker 1: There are a lot of people. We were looked into

1925
01:32:15,520 --> 01:32:17,840
Speaker 1: the scoreboard in the big screen and with a lot

1926
01:32:17,880 --> 01:32:19,280
Speaker 1: of the fans doing the same thing, and it was

1927
01:32:19,360 --> 01:32:21,240
Speaker 1: it was quite a scene, pretty dramatic. It had a

1928
01:32:21,320 --> 01:32:25,200
Speaker 1: chance to be something reminiscent to the Buffalo Bills, and

1929
01:32:25,920 --> 01:32:28,200
Speaker 1: I was looking forward to it. But it didn't happen.

1930
01:32:28,200 --> 01:32:30,479
Speaker 1: Didn't have it all right? Great, got another hour ago

Speaker 1: What do you think the Buffalo Bills. What did you

1935
01:32:39,640 --> 01:32:43,519
Speaker 1: take from yesterday's season ending victory over the Miami Dolphins.

1936
01:32:43,600 --> 01:32:45,160
Speaker 1: What's the best thing the Bills can take from that

1937

Speaker 1: and apply to next year? Give us a call eight

Speaker 1: from One Bill's Drive. Bill's cleaning out their lockers today,

1943
01:33:16,000 --> 01:33:19,000
Speaker 1: always one of the saddest days on the football calendar,

1944
01:33:19,080 --> 01:33:21,920
Speaker 1: but after yesterday's getting win over the Miami Dolphins, Bill's

1945
01:33:21,960 --> 01:33:24,400
Speaker 1: feeling pretty good about their prospects head into the next year.

1946
01:33:24,400 --> 01:33:27,880
Speaker 1: Almost unanimous feeling about that in the Buffalo locker room. Today.

1947
01:33:28,000 --> 01:33:31,080
Speaker 1: They have resigned a third string quarterback, Derek Anderson, signed

1948
01:33:31,120 --> 01:33:33,040
Speaker 1: a one year deal with the team just one day

1949
01:33:33,080 --> 01:33:35,400
Speaker 1: after the season ended. He even originally came onto the

1950
01:33:35,479 --> 01:33:38,519
Speaker 1: team back in early October and then played and started

1951
01:33:38,600 --> 01:33:41,160
Speaker 1: weeks seven and eight for the Buffalo Bills. Derek Anderson,

Speaker 1: Matt Parkley, Josh attend All three in the quarterback room

1953
01:33:44,760 --> 01:33:47,160
Speaker 1: is intact for the Bills going into next year. The

1954
01:33:47,240 --> 01:33:50,120
Speaker 1: Bills now know all of their sixteen opponents. For two

1955
01:33:50,680 --> 01:33:53,519
Speaker 1: nineteen home games next year, they played the AFC East.

1956
01:33:53,560 --> 01:33:57,439
Speaker 1: They also host Cincinnati, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Washington in Denver on

1957
01:33:57,479 --> 01:34:00,360
Speaker 1: the road. It's the three in the AFC East treats,

1958
01:34:00,400 --> 01:34:04,759
Speaker 1: Dolphins and Jets, and they traveled to Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Dallas Giants,

1959
01:34:04,960 --> 01:34:08,360
Speaker 1: and Tennessee five games against two hundred and eighteen twenty

Speaker 1: carsel spinning wildly today. The Dolphins fired head coach Adam

1962
01:34:15,600 --> 01:34:18,320
Speaker 1: Case after three seasons, looking for their next head coach.

1963
01:34:18,560 --> 01:34:21,160
Speaker 1: Gays finished twenty three wins twenty five losses, his lone

1964
01:34:21,160 --> 01:34:23,680
Speaker 1: playoff game a loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers a couple

1965
01:34:23,720 --> 01:34:25,920
Speaker 1: of years ago. For the second time in four years,

1966
01:34:25,960 --> 01:34:27,519
Speaker 1: the Jets are in the market for a head coach.

1967
01:34:27,840 --> 01:34:30,599
Speaker 1: Tom Bowles, as expected, let go by the New York

1968
01:34:30,680 --> 01:34:33,840
Speaker 1: Jets today. The Bucks, Tampa Bay let Dirk Cutter go today.

1969
01:34:34,080 --> 01:34:37,120
Speaker 1: Marvin Lewis is out as head coach of the Cincinnati Bengals.

1970
01:34:37,160 --> 01:34:39,479
Speaker 1: He had one year left on a contract extension. He's

1971
01:34:39,479 --> 01:34:41,880
Speaker 1: been there sixteen years. He was oh and seven in

1972
01:34:41,960 --> 01:34:45,439
Speaker 1: the postseason. Denver Broncos fired head coach Vance Joseph had

1973
01:34:45,439 --> 01:34:48,040
Speaker 1: an outswood coming today. He went eleven and twenty one

1974
01:34:48,120 --> 01:34:51,000
Speaker 1: in two seasons at the Helm in Denver, and the

1975
01:34:51,080 --> 01:34:54,040
Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals fired coach Steve Wilkes after just one season.

1976
01:34:54,320 --> 01:34:57,880
Speaker 1: They were three and thirteen in his one campaign. Also

1977
01:34:58,080 --> 01:35:01,679
Speaker 1: a general manager manager move in Oakland, where the Raiders

1978
01:35:01,720 --> 01:35:05,080
Speaker 1: are hiring longtime NFL draft analyst Mike Mayock as their

1979
01:35:05,120 --> 01:35:07,920
Speaker 1: general manager. Savers Hockey tonight at the Buffalo Sabers home

1980
01:35:07,920 --> 01:35:11,280
Speaker 1: against the Homanders. It's a six o'clock face off at

1981
01:35:11,400 --> 01:35:14,200
Speaker 1: key Bank Center, and that'll give Steve Tasker plenty of

1982
01:35:14,280 --> 01:35:16,920
Speaker 1: time to leave here and to shower up at the

1983
01:35:17,840 --> 01:35:21,120
Speaker 1: You don't need a shower, You're good, go to the game.

1984
01:35:21,280 --> 01:35:22,880
Speaker 1: Tucks and Pocks. You have a tuxedo to wear that.

1985
01:35:23,800 --> 01:35:26,799
Speaker 1: I am not wearing a tuxedo. Two my man, right, Brownie,

1986
01:35:26,840 --> 01:35:29,919
Speaker 1: tell him I'm doing it. Tucks and pox. It's a tradition,

1987
01:35:30,120 --> 01:35:32,560
Speaker 1: I know. Yeah. The only guy act like I just

1988
01:35:32,680 --> 01:35:36,280
Speaker 1: parachuted in. I know what it is, all right. I'm

1989
01:35:36,360 --> 01:35:38,360
Speaker 1: not wearing a tuxedo. Do it. I was just amazed

1990
01:35:38,400 --> 01:35:41,200
Speaker 1: that the entire sports update was about coach firings in

1991
01:35:41,280 --> 01:35:43,839
Speaker 1: the NFL. It's barely had time to mention the Savers

1992
01:35:43,880 --> 01:35:47,400
Speaker 1: are playing, talk about no other news and some weird

1993
01:35:47,600 --> 01:35:50,519
Speaker 1: hirings and firings. Chris Brown with us Builds Inside from

1994
01:35:50,520 --> 01:35:53,200
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills dot Com. Happy New Year, Chris, good to

1995
01:35:53,240 --> 01:35:55,400
Speaker 1: have you here. Yeah, happy New Year. I would venture

1996
01:35:55,520 --> 01:35:58,519
Speaker 1: guess that this is the happiest UH six and ten

1997
01:35:58,600 --> 01:36:02,080
Speaker 1: team in the NFL, after you today's after yesterday's game, right.

1998
01:36:02,160 --> 01:36:05,559
Speaker 1: I was thinking about this just this morning. I cannot

1999
01:36:05,640 --> 01:36:08,840
Speaker 1: remember a season that ended under five hundred like this

2000
01:36:09,040 --> 01:36:11,760
Speaker 1: where I felt as good as I do about where

2001
01:36:11,840 --> 01:36:15,560
Speaker 1: the team is going. And I think it's because of

2002
01:36:15,680 --> 01:36:19,720
Speaker 1: the way that they are slowly building this thing to

2003
01:36:20,320 --> 01:36:23,000
Speaker 1: not only be good, you know, in a year or

2004
01:36:23,080 --> 01:36:28,920
Speaker 1: two's time, but perennially once it reaches critical mass. So

2005
01:36:29,120 --> 01:36:32,040
Speaker 1: I think it's a situation where, yes, six and ten

2006
01:36:32,200 --> 01:36:34,400
Speaker 1: is not the standard by any means, but in terms

2007
01:36:34,439 --> 01:36:37,559
Speaker 1: of what they're building toward and the signs you're seeing

2008
01:36:38,280 --> 01:36:41,200
Speaker 1: from the offense and the defense, you've got to be

2009
01:36:41,880 --> 01:36:45,160
Speaker 1: encouraged by that. Maybe more than you have ever before

2010
01:36:45,880 --> 01:36:48,479
Speaker 1: when a team put a six and ten season together. Here, well, Chris,

2011
01:36:48,560 --> 01:36:50,960
Speaker 1: let me get you into today's Twitter question, and again

2012
01:36:51,040 --> 01:36:53,120
Speaker 1: our audience can get in as well. Give us a

2013
01:36:53,160 --> 01:36:55,960
Speaker 1: call at eight O three fifty and toll free one

2014
01:36:56,120 --> 01:36:58,640
Speaker 1: eight eight five fifty two five fifty or sending a

2015
01:36:58,680 --> 01:37:01,000
Speaker 1: tweet we may read it on the air. Chris, What

2016
01:37:01,160 --> 01:37:03,320
Speaker 1: did sundays win over the Dolphins tell us about the

2017
01:37:03,360 --> 01:37:06,000
Speaker 1: Bill's future? What did we learn just from yesterday's game?

2018
01:37:06,080 --> 01:37:09,919
Speaker 1: Let's limit it to that. I think that the defense

2019
01:37:10,000 --> 01:37:12,480
Speaker 1: has kind of found itself in terms of an identity.

2020
01:37:13,320 --> 01:37:15,479
Speaker 1: Micah Hyde kind of echoed that sentiment. He said he

2021
01:37:15,560 --> 01:37:18,240
Speaker 1: really didn't feel like they hit their stride until maybe

2022
01:37:18,280 --> 01:37:20,920
Speaker 1: the last six seven weeks of the season. Said, really,

2023
01:37:21,000 --> 01:37:24,919
Speaker 1: after the bye, we kind of locked in and everybody

2024
01:37:25,080 --> 01:37:26,960
Speaker 1: was on the same page and we knew what we

2025
01:37:27,040 --> 01:37:29,960
Speaker 1: were as a defense. So I would agree with that.

2026
01:37:30,880 --> 01:37:34,560
Speaker 1: And then I think for anybody that didn't think that

2027
01:37:34,640 --> 01:37:37,439
Speaker 1: the team had their quarterback, they've got their quarterback. I

2028
01:37:37,520 --> 01:37:40,719
Speaker 1: mean five touchdown day. There's no Bill's quarterback in history

2029
01:37:40,760 --> 01:37:42,960
Speaker 1: that has thrown for three and run for two in

2030
01:37:43,040 --> 01:37:46,920
Speaker 1: the same game. No one, right, right, Well, not very

2031
01:37:46,960 --> 01:37:49,960
Speaker 1: many guys have done a period, let alone right a

2032
01:37:50,040 --> 01:37:52,519
Speaker 1: rookie for the Bills. Yeah, at this point we have

2033
01:37:52,680 --> 01:37:54,479
Speaker 1: to At some point, I knew we have to get

2034
01:37:54,520 --> 01:37:57,240
Speaker 1: to this way back when I want to say March

2035
01:37:57,320 --> 01:37:59,000
Speaker 1: even you were the one who said this is a

2036
01:37:59,080 --> 01:38:01,880
Speaker 1: top ten defense. How did you know they're top two

2037
01:38:02,960 --> 01:38:06,800
Speaker 1: almost number one, nineteen yards short of number one. So

2038
01:38:06,920 --> 01:38:10,280
Speaker 1: Steve take about Well, I don't want to say I

2039
01:38:10,320 --> 01:38:14,120
Speaker 1: told you so, but I told you you did. I listen,

2040
01:38:14,160 --> 01:38:15,760
Speaker 1: I didn't think that. I didn't think they were going

2041
01:38:15,800 --> 01:38:17,800
Speaker 1: to be this good. And believe me, here's the thing.

2042
01:38:17,840 --> 01:38:19,519
Speaker 1: And I told you this earlier, and I don't want

2043
01:38:19,800 --> 01:38:23,360
Speaker 1: listen if I can nitpick next year, I don't want

2044
01:38:23,439 --> 01:38:25,960
Speaker 1: to be like a number two defense. I wanted to

2045
01:38:26,000 --> 01:38:27,640
Speaker 1: be like in the top ten, but I wanted to

2046
01:38:27,680 --> 01:38:30,200
Speaker 1: have maybe twice as many takeaways. I think that was

2047
01:38:30,240 --> 01:38:32,120
Speaker 1: the thing they're missing. I want to see the team

2048
01:38:32,200 --> 01:38:34,679
Speaker 1: take it away more. Now here's the thing, and Brownie,

2049
01:38:34,720 --> 01:38:37,960
Speaker 1: you can speak to this as well, because Murph's already

2050
01:38:37,960 --> 01:38:41,120
Speaker 1: heard me. Rant I think they will get more takeaways.

2051
01:38:41,240 --> 01:38:43,479
Speaker 1: Yesterday was a perfect example. When the offense plays, we

2052
01:38:43,520 --> 01:38:45,880
Speaker 1: won't start scoring some points. The other team is forced

2053
01:38:45,920 --> 01:38:48,840
Speaker 1: to take more risks with the ball. We were playing team.

2054
01:38:48,880 --> 01:38:50,840
Speaker 1: We weren't scoring twenty points a game. We were scoring

2055
01:38:50,880 --> 01:38:53,680
Speaker 1: ten points a game. That the other team, the opponents,

2056
01:38:54,000 --> 01:38:56,280
Speaker 1: as good as our defense was, weren't forced to air

2057
01:38:56,360 --> 01:38:59,080
Speaker 1: it out. They weren't forced to throw all this, you know,

2058
01:38:59,400 --> 01:39:01,280
Speaker 1: the kind of the the ball up as much as they.

2059
01:39:01,720 --> 01:39:03,600
Speaker 1: I would say the bigger problem was how much the

2060
01:39:03,640 --> 01:39:07,280
Speaker 1: Bills gave it away. I mean that stretched there with

2061
01:39:07,960 --> 01:39:11,120
Speaker 1: you know, Nathan Peterman still on the roster, Derek Anderson

2062
01:39:11,160 --> 01:39:13,080
Speaker 1: threw a few when he had to play and learn

2063
01:39:13,160 --> 01:39:15,639
Speaker 1: on the fly, and all of that contributes to that. Right.

2064
01:39:16,080 --> 01:39:18,960
Speaker 1: But this team going into yesterday's game was second in

2065
01:39:19,000 --> 01:39:21,519
Speaker 1: the league and giveaways with twenty eight. Right, So that's

2066
01:39:21,720 --> 01:39:24,519
Speaker 1: and and and because of that, I mean, you need

2067
01:39:24,600 --> 01:39:26,679
Speaker 1: to look no further than this stat. When the Bills

2068
01:39:26,760 --> 01:39:29,200
Speaker 1: this year turned it over one time or a fewer

2069
01:39:29,280 --> 01:39:31,680
Speaker 1: this season, they're six and oz. When it's two or

2070
01:39:31,720 --> 01:39:33,599
Speaker 1: more times, it was oz and ten. That's murph stat

2071
01:39:34,479 --> 01:39:37,600
Speaker 1: was there's an NFL game stap. But you're right, But

2072
01:39:37,720 --> 01:39:43,720
Speaker 1: I think, but I think Congress now, so this is

2073
01:39:43,760 --> 01:39:45,559
Speaker 1: all this ripple effect when we're talking about all these

2074
01:39:45,640 --> 01:39:48,000
Speaker 1: ifs ands and what ifs and what will happen and

2075
01:39:48,080 --> 01:39:51,040
Speaker 1: if but if the Bills offense does get better, and

2076
01:39:51,280 --> 01:39:54,000
Speaker 1: to me, it means Josh Allen not strapping the whole

2077
01:39:54,040 --> 01:39:55,880
Speaker 1: thing on his back and carrying it around with him.

2078
01:39:56,479 --> 01:39:58,680
Speaker 1: When he can throw it out to the outside or

2079
01:39:58,840 --> 01:40:00,519
Speaker 1: hand it off and get something out of the run

2080
01:40:00,600 --> 01:40:02,560
Speaker 1: game on a consistent basis, and when he doesn't have

2081
01:40:02,720 --> 01:40:05,280
Speaker 1: to run for a hundred yards but he can stand

2082
01:40:05,360 --> 01:40:09,160
Speaker 1: back there and throw it, I think it will get

2083
01:40:09,200 --> 01:40:13,000
Speaker 1: easier for the defense. It will start to be harder

2084
01:40:13,080 --> 01:40:16,160
Speaker 1: to defend when he doesn't have to run. It'll be

2085
01:40:16,200 --> 01:40:18,240
Speaker 1: even more difficult to defend when there are more weapons

2086
01:40:18,320 --> 01:40:20,080
Speaker 1: other than him that the defense has to fill. And

2087
01:40:20,280 --> 01:40:22,519
Speaker 1: I think we saw some elements of that yesterday because

2088
01:40:22,760 --> 01:40:25,080
Speaker 1: he wasn't chucking it down the field yesterday. He was

2089
01:40:25,720 --> 01:40:27,800
Speaker 1: a lot of short a lot of short and intermediate

2090
01:40:27,920 --> 01:40:31,360
Speaker 1: routes for him yesterday. And you know, they did a

2091
01:40:31,479 --> 01:40:35,880
Speaker 1: better job of stringing positive plays together instead of the

2092
01:40:35,960 --> 01:40:38,760
Speaker 1: quick three or four play scoring drive where oh, you

2093
01:40:38,840 --> 01:40:40,960
Speaker 1: make a big play and you get too turnover two

2094
01:40:41,000 --> 01:40:43,040
Speaker 1: takeaways by the defense and you kind of win a game.

2095
01:40:43,360 --> 01:40:46,440
Speaker 1: They won in a different way yesterday. By being consistent.

2096
01:40:46,840 --> 01:40:50,040
Speaker 1: It was one of the more consistent offensive performances. They

2097
01:40:50,080 --> 01:40:53,120
Speaker 1: only had three penalties on offense the whole game. That's

2098
01:40:53,240 --> 01:40:57,080
Speaker 1: low for them on a team that had an egregious

2099
01:40:57,160 --> 01:41:01,680
Speaker 1: number of every three snap penalties this season. So it

2100
01:41:01,880 --> 01:41:04,680
Speaker 1: was almost as if you wanted to say, oh, I

2101
01:41:04,720 --> 01:41:06,280
Speaker 1: wish they could play one more game. I want to

2102
01:41:06,280 --> 01:41:08,200
Speaker 1: see if they can sustain that and do it again.

2103
01:41:09,320 --> 01:41:11,800
Speaker 1: By no means where they a playoff team, but you

2104
01:41:11,840 --> 01:41:14,040
Speaker 1: almost wanted to see him play a seventeenth game or

2105
01:41:14,080 --> 01:41:16,479
Speaker 1: an eighteenth game, just to see where they could take it.

2106
01:41:16,560 --> 01:41:18,479
Speaker 1: Before the season was over, Murph had been saying that,

2107
01:41:18,840 --> 01:41:20,360
Speaker 1: you know, they he wanted to see him do it

2108
01:41:20,360 --> 01:41:22,320
Speaker 1: a little more intermediate passing, you know. And then we

2109
01:41:22,400 --> 01:41:23,840
Speaker 1: had Josh in here just a few minutes ago and

2110
01:41:23,920 --> 01:41:25,800
Speaker 1: Murph ast him about it, and Josh said, you know what,

2111
01:41:25,880 --> 01:41:28,200
Speaker 1: we're just trying to get some completions. And I was like,

2112
01:41:29,360 --> 01:41:32,560
Speaker 1: wait a minute, So right, yeah, you got it. And

2113
01:41:32,800 --> 01:41:35,600
Speaker 1: we didn't go short, we didn't follow up on it

2114
01:41:35,640 --> 01:41:38,920
Speaker 1: like I say, who woa, whoa, whoa whoa. So really

2115
01:41:39,000 --> 01:41:42,800
Speaker 1: it seemed like a concerted effort on Josh just to say,

2116
01:41:42,840 --> 01:41:44,120
Speaker 1: you know, and I'm just gonna take it. I'm not

2117
01:41:44,160 --> 01:41:46,120
Speaker 1: gonna pass up an open eye. I'm just gonna throw

2118
01:41:46,160 --> 01:41:48,120
Speaker 1: it here and do it. And all of a sudden,

2119
01:41:48,160 --> 01:41:50,320
Speaker 1: he's completing sixty percent of his passes just with a

2120
01:41:50,400 --> 01:41:52,479
Speaker 1: single decision that it's like, hey, our game planning today

2121
01:41:52,479 --> 01:41:54,720
Speaker 1: against the Dolphins, We're just gonna get some easy completions

2122
01:41:55,160 --> 01:41:57,920
Speaker 1: and presto chango, it turns into forty two points. I mean,

2123
01:41:57,960 --> 01:42:00,280
Speaker 1: I think it's a learning curve for young player years,

2124
01:42:00,280 --> 01:42:03,479
Speaker 1: particularly on offense in this league, when you've been playing

2125
01:42:03,600 --> 01:42:06,280
Speaker 1: hero ball all through college because you're the only weapon

2126
01:42:06,360 --> 01:42:08,160
Speaker 1: you have on offense, which was the case for him

2127
01:42:08,200 --> 01:42:10,599
Speaker 1: his last year in Wyoming. Everybody left for the NFL

2128
01:42:10,720 --> 01:42:13,439
Speaker 1: that was worth their salt on the Wyoming roster and

2129
01:42:13,520 --> 01:42:15,120
Speaker 1: he had to kind of carry the load by himself.

2130
01:42:15,240 --> 01:42:17,200
Speaker 1: It's playing hero ball all year. It takes a while

2131
01:42:17,240 --> 01:42:19,160
Speaker 1: to adjust to that. I mean, Lashaw McCoy did the

2132
01:42:19,160 --> 01:42:22,160
Speaker 1: same thing at pitt I mean he's busting runs back

2133
01:42:22,240 --> 01:42:24,439
Speaker 1: the other way and going sixty yards for a touchdown.

2134
01:42:24,640 --> 01:42:27,400
Speaker 1: But you can't do that in the NFL. And you know,

2135
01:42:27,560 --> 01:42:31,000
Speaker 1: Leshawn said, I needed to learn a four yard game

2136
01:42:31,080 --> 01:42:33,960
Speaker 1: in the NFL is a good play. That's a good

2137
01:42:34,040 --> 01:42:36,639
Speaker 1: play in the NFL, And I think Josh came around

2138
01:42:36,680 --> 01:42:39,760
Speaker 1: to realizing a six yard completion is a good play

2139
01:42:39,840 --> 01:42:43,120
Speaker 1: in the NFL because it keeps you on schedule in

2140
01:42:43,280 --> 01:42:46,160
Speaker 1: favorable down and distance and makes you more unpredictable as

2141
01:42:46,200 --> 01:42:48,839
Speaker 1: an offense because the defense can't tee off on your quarterback.

2142
01:42:48,960 --> 01:42:51,479
Speaker 1: With Chris Brown, Bills Insider Buffalo Bills dot Com, we

2143
01:42:51,560 --> 01:42:55,320
Speaker 1: got to talk about the Kyle Williams Day Chris pregame

2144
01:42:55,400 --> 01:42:57,960
Speaker 1: in game post game. You know, we're you and I

2145
01:42:58,000 --> 01:43:00,559
Speaker 1: are watching the game from different perspectives. I'm out there

2146
01:43:00,840 --> 01:43:02,720
Speaker 1: in the radio booth where the windows are open and

2147
01:43:02,800 --> 01:43:06,360
Speaker 1: the emotions are alive and people sometimes flip out a

2148
01:43:06,400 --> 01:43:10,120
Speaker 1: little bit. You're up there in the pressing area. Are

2149
01:43:10,160 --> 01:43:12,640
Speaker 1: you referring to yourself or Mark Els both? You're up

2150
01:43:12,680 --> 01:43:16,360
Speaker 1: there in the working media area where you know, sarcasm

2151
01:43:16,439 --> 01:43:21,200
Speaker 1: reigns supreme, and it's quiet, the windows are closed. It

2152
01:43:21,400 --> 01:43:24,799
Speaker 1: is it's a snark box. You're right, did anybody notice?

2153
01:43:24,840 --> 01:43:27,280
Speaker 1: I'm sure you did, but anybody else get how emotional

2154
01:43:27,400 --> 01:43:30,000
Speaker 1: that was, how perfect that was for Kyle Williams day

2155
01:43:30,040 --> 01:43:31,960
Speaker 1: to go the way it did. Yesterday, including with the

2156
01:43:31,960 --> 01:43:34,240
Speaker 1: Buffalo victory. Yeah, I mean, I think for all that

2157
01:43:34,360 --> 01:43:37,280
Speaker 1: went wrong in terms of being a winning franchise and

2158
01:43:37,400 --> 01:43:40,000
Speaker 1: not getting to the playoffs for twelve of his thirteen years,

2159
01:43:40,680 --> 01:43:43,400
Speaker 1: I think he was kind of owed that he was

2160
01:43:43,479 --> 01:43:45,519
Speaker 1: kind of owed a day like that. He really was,

2161
01:43:46,720 --> 01:43:50,880
Speaker 1: because the guy never complained, never bemoaned the fact that

2162
01:43:51,000 --> 01:43:53,760
Speaker 1: he was on a franchise that for some of the

2163
01:43:53,840 --> 01:43:55,559
Speaker 1: years that he was here, couldn't get out of its

2164
01:43:55,600 --> 01:44:00,800
Speaker 1: own way, never talked bad about this team in the

2165
01:44:00,920 --> 01:44:04,120
Speaker 1: media for thirteen seasons, always said the right thing, always

2166
01:44:04,160 --> 01:44:06,439
Speaker 1: did the right thing, didn't let the failures of the

2167
01:44:06,520 --> 01:44:11,240
Speaker 1: franchise impact how he prepared every offseason, every practice day,

2168
01:44:11,680 --> 01:44:17,720
Speaker 1: every regular season game. His approach never ever changed. And

2169
01:44:18,800 --> 01:44:22,559
Speaker 1: I think that reflects Buffalo in a lot of ways, because, Hey,

2170
01:44:22,760 --> 01:44:24,479
Speaker 1: a lot of things haven't gone right for people in

2171
01:44:24,520 --> 01:44:27,280
Speaker 1: Buffalo for a long time. And I'm not just talking sports.

2172
01:44:27,600 --> 01:44:32,000
Speaker 1: We're talking job opportunities, economics, home values, all that stuff.

2173
01:44:32,040 --> 01:44:35,400
Speaker 1: You can and well weather too, sure, but but you

2174
01:44:35,479 --> 01:44:39,320
Speaker 1: know what, people don't change, you know, because the circumstances

2175
01:44:39,360 --> 01:44:41,479
Speaker 1: are an ideal. A lot of people in this town,

2176
01:44:41,600 --> 01:44:43,600
Speaker 1: you know, put their head down and keep putting in

2177
01:44:43,640 --> 01:44:45,479
Speaker 1: an honest day's work for an honest day's pay. And

2178
01:44:45,760 --> 01:44:48,800
Speaker 1: I think that's why Kyle Williams became an adopted son

2179
01:44:48,840 --> 01:44:51,680
Speaker 1: in this town. Well yeah, far from complaining about it,

2180
01:44:51,800 --> 01:44:53,800
Speaker 1: that he seemed to thrive in it. I mean he

2181
01:44:53,840 --> 01:44:57,920
Speaker 1: and his wife showed up and newlyweds and they're five kids,

2182
01:44:58,000 --> 01:45:00,880
Speaker 1: you know, I mean they loved it here and uh.

2183
01:45:02,120 --> 01:45:05,200
Speaker 1: And I think the fact that he was smart enough

2184
01:45:05,280 --> 01:45:07,800
Speaker 1: for whatever or never to push it to he could

2185
01:45:07,840 --> 01:45:10,320
Speaker 1: have I mean, there's he could have been one of

2186
01:45:10,360 --> 01:45:12,280
Speaker 1: those guys that Hey forced him to put the franchise

2187
01:45:12,400 --> 01:45:14,479
Speaker 1: tag on, been one of those guys that wanted to

2188
01:45:14,479 --> 01:45:18,439
Speaker 1: get out. He embraced the town and spent and made

2189
01:45:18,479 --> 01:45:21,320
Speaker 1: a concerted effort to spend thirteen years here in one place.

2190
01:45:21,520 --> 01:45:24,000
Speaker 1: And let's face it, if he wanted to. There were

2191
01:45:24,080 --> 01:45:27,639
Speaker 1: times when you can say all you want, he knew

2192
01:45:27,840 --> 01:45:29,360
Speaker 1: good and well they probably weren't going to go to

2193
01:45:29,360 --> 01:45:31,200
Speaker 1: the playoffs this year either, you know what I'm saying.

2194
01:45:31,400 --> 01:45:35,439
Speaker 1: You know, in a week in in year four, year five, year, seven,

2195
01:45:35,600 --> 01:45:38,400
Speaker 1: year nine, you know, he knew what the what the

2196
01:45:38,520 --> 01:45:42,320
Speaker 1: writing on the wall was, and he still remained constant

2197
01:45:42,400 --> 01:45:46,680
Speaker 1: and doing everything he could for the team. So I

2198
01:45:46,800 --> 01:45:49,360
Speaker 1: think you know, when that comes and you get that

2199
01:45:49,479 --> 01:45:51,880
Speaker 1: kind of respect within the building that you know, the

2200
01:45:52,000 --> 01:45:55,840
Speaker 1: community hears about it and understands it, and uh and

2201
01:45:55,960 --> 01:45:58,960
Speaker 1: they you know, they you gotta, you know, just naturally

2202
01:45:59,040 --> 01:46:00,240
Speaker 1: love a guy. I mean, the only thing that was

2203
01:46:00,280 --> 01:46:02,840
Speaker 1: missing from that yesterday is the Norman Rockwell painting. I mean,

2204
01:46:02,880 --> 01:46:05,200
Speaker 1: that's really the only thing you didn't have yesterday. Really,

2205
01:46:05,920 --> 01:46:07,800
Speaker 1: it was the perfect send off, it really was. Yeah

2206
01:46:07,840 --> 01:46:10,479
Speaker 1: and yeah, a couple of calls on this on Kyle actually,

2207
01:46:10,560 --> 01:46:12,840
Speaker 1: Bill and Buffalo you're on the air list, including with

2208
01:46:12,920 --> 01:46:16,120
Speaker 1: the Chris Brown go ahead, Bill, Yeah, good afternoon. Really

2209
01:46:16,240 --> 01:46:18,960
Speaker 1: enjoyed the coverage. Just your day. Um, I got up

2210
01:46:19,000 --> 01:46:21,120
Speaker 1: and I kind of missed what happened on the field

2211
01:46:21,240 --> 01:46:24,479
Speaker 1: when Kyle got on the field for the last time

2212
01:46:24,560 --> 01:46:27,920
Speaker 1: and then got the standing innovation. Did he line did

2213
01:46:28,000 --> 01:46:31,400
Speaker 1: the Bills and um Dolphins line up at the line

2214
01:46:31,400 --> 01:46:34,360
Speaker 1: of scrimmage and then the Bills called timeout or did

2215
01:46:34,400 --> 01:46:37,680
Speaker 1: the defense walk out on the field and then just

2216
01:46:37,840 --> 01:46:39,840
Speaker 1: get called off the field? They were lining up, they

2217
01:46:39,840 --> 01:46:42,960
Speaker 1: were getting in their stand up. Sean McDermott called a

2218
01:46:43,080 --> 01:46:46,040
Speaker 1: time out. They up, Yeah, they were on the field,

2219
01:46:46,200 --> 01:46:50,640
Speaker 1: and then after you know that they had, you know,

2220
01:46:50,800 --> 01:46:53,120
Speaker 1: kind of gotten their personnel groupings on the field. Then

2221
01:46:53,200 --> 01:46:55,720
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott called a timeout and sent a replacement in

2222
01:46:55,840 --> 01:46:59,000
Speaker 1: for Kyle, and Kyle waved him off at first and

2223
01:46:59,160 --> 01:47:03,000
Speaker 1: then realized that it was on purpose. Yeah, there was

2224
01:47:03,040 --> 01:47:05,759
Speaker 1: a concerted effort to have a curtain call for Kyle.

2225
01:47:06,400 --> 01:47:08,560
Speaker 1: He went to greater extent than that, because if you

2226
01:47:08,640 --> 01:47:10,600
Speaker 1: were paying attention at the end of the game, he

2227
01:47:10,760 --> 01:47:14,320
Speaker 1: purposely did a turnover on downs to get the defense

2228
01:47:14,479 --> 01:47:16,360
Speaker 1: back on the field so he could send him on

2229
01:47:16,400 --> 01:47:19,000
Speaker 1: the field with a defensive unit only to call time

2230
01:47:19,080 --> 01:47:20,840
Speaker 1: out to give him a curtain call. I mean, those

2231
01:47:20,880 --> 01:47:23,720
Speaker 1: are extraordinary lengths. Unfortunately, the Bills are up forty two

2232
01:47:23,840 --> 01:47:25,800
Speaker 1: seventeen where they can do that. But that was my

2233
01:47:25,840 --> 01:47:29,080
Speaker 1: first question to coach after the game, I said, Coach turn,

2234
01:47:29,479 --> 01:47:32,320
Speaker 1: I said, turnover on downs and then it burned a

2235
01:47:32,400 --> 01:47:34,320
Speaker 1: time out so you could get Kyle a curtain call.

2236
01:47:34,360 --> 01:47:36,200
Speaker 1: And he looked me dead the I said, yep, because

2237
01:47:36,240 --> 01:47:38,280
Speaker 1: he deserved it. Well. The beautiful part and Stephen I

2238
01:47:38,320 --> 01:47:39,760
Speaker 1: were talking about it before he went down the air

2239
01:47:39,880 --> 01:47:42,200
Speaker 1: was that they were in position to do that kind

2240
01:47:42,240 --> 01:47:44,160
Speaker 1: of stuff. Yes, if the game was in doubt, if

2241
01:47:44,200 --> 01:47:46,720
Speaker 1: there was strategy and play, might not have worked out

2242
01:47:46,760 --> 01:47:48,880
Speaker 1: that well. But it certainly did right. Oh yeah, I

2243
01:47:48,880 --> 01:47:51,439
Speaker 1: mean he was afforded the opportunity to do it. Was great.

2244
01:47:51,760 --> 01:47:53,960
Speaker 1: A caller from Lee in Buffalo High Lee, you're on

2245
01:47:54,000 --> 01:47:59,400
Speaker 1: the air with this go ahead. Yeah he's doing okay, good? Yeah,

2246
01:47:59,640 --> 01:48:04,160
Speaker 1: quick rushing for Steve. Uh Steve with Kyle Williams. Not

2247
01:48:04,400 --> 01:48:07,760
Speaker 1: complaining about anything, you know, with the money getting greater

2248
01:48:07,920 --> 01:48:10,760
Speaker 1: from when he first started, you know too, when the

2249
01:48:10,840 --> 01:48:14,800
Speaker 1: bills were lousy, and you know, he just suck it

2250
01:48:14,840 --> 01:48:18,640
Speaker 1: out like a blue collar guy, just like this town is. Um.

2251
01:48:20,000 --> 01:48:22,280
Speaker 1: Do you see in a near future that his name

2252
01:48:22,360 --> 01:48:23,559
Speaker 1: is going to be up on the wall of same

2253
01:48:23,680 --> 01:48:26,679
Speaker 1: right next year's Oh I think he's a strong candidate

2254
01:48:26,720 --> 01:48:31,880
Speaker 1: for that. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, he belongs up there because

2255
01:48:31,880 --> 01:48:34,800
Speaker 1: he was a great player. Um And and let's face

2256
01:48:34,880 --> 01:48:39,479
Speaker 1: it too, there's a huge sentiment towards you know, making

2257
01:48:39,560 --> 01:48:41,519
Speaker 1: him one of the all time guys. There's no question

2258
01:48:41,560 --> 01:48:44,120
Speaker 1: about it. And I think he deserves it. I would, i'd.

2259
01:48:44,400 --> 01:48:46,080
Speaker 1: I don't have a vote or anything. I'm just saying

2260
01:48:46,400 --> 01:48:49,519
Speaker 1: my opinion he deserves it as much as anybody up there.

2261
01:48:49,600 --> 01:48:52,920
Speaker 1: He for the uh, for the career he put together.

2262
01:48:53,040 --> 01:48:55,479
Speaker 1: Forget about the what what the organization was while he

2263
01:48:55,560 --> 01:48:58,320
Speaker 1: was here, forget about them, how many head coaches he

2264
01:48:58,479 --> 01:49:03,479
Speaker 1: was here with, forget about win loss record, his personal

2265
01:49:03,600 --> 01:49:08,040
Speaker 1: career with one hundred and eighty three games played, with

2266
01:49:08,320 --> 01:49:14,240
Speaker 1: five Pro Bowls at a very physically demanding position. He

2267
01:49:14,400 --> 01:49:17,320
Speaker 1: deserves it, and he deserves consideration, strong consideration for it.

2268
01:49:17,320 --> 01:49:18,840
Speaker 1: And if I if I had to vote, I'd vote

2269
01:49:18,840 --> 01:49:21,600
Speaker 1: for him. And all the stuff that has happened to

2270
01:49:21,680 --> 01:49:23,000
Speaker 1: him off the field, and the kind of person he

2271
01:49:23,120 --> 01:49:24,800
Speaker 1: is and what he has meant to the franchise here

2272
01:49:24,800 --> 01:49:27,280
Speaker 1: in the last handful of years of his career in particular,

2273
01:49:27,920 --> 01:49:30,040
Speaker 1: certainly puts him over the top. In my estimation. This

2274
01:49:30,200 --> 01:49:31,720
Speaker 1: is Kyle around today. Did you see him in the

2275
01:49:31,760 --> 01:49:33,479
Speaker 1: locker room today? Didn't see him in the locker room?

2276
01:49:33,560 --> 01:49:36,160
Speaker 1: Probably tired to be in photographed, to be quite honest. Well,

2277
01:49:36,200 --> 01:49:38,719
Speaker 1: I mean with some of our some of our coverage

2278
01:49:40,280 --> 01:49:43,040
Speaker 1: you know on Buffalo Bill's dot com, including you know

2279
01:49:43,080 --> 01:49:44,880
Speaker 1: when he finally got to the locker room after the

2280
01:49:44,960 --> 01:49:47,840
Speaker 1: game and coach was joking about finding him for being late.

2281
01:49:49,320 --> 01:49:52,640
Speaker 1: You know, they handed him a commemorative game ball and

2282
01:49:52,800 --> 01:49:54,960
Speaker 1: he said, all right, well, I've talked enough this week, guys,

2283
01:49:55,000 --> 01:49:57,000
Speaker 1: let's just break it down. Yeah. I mean, even he

2284
01:49:57,120 --> 01:49:59,880
Speaker 1: knows he's talked in awful lot this week, because between

2285
01:50:00,600 --> 01:50:03,679
Speaker 1: announcing it to the team, what was it Thursday or Friday?

2286
01:50:04,040 --> 01:50:07,679
Speaker 1: Friday morning? Friday morning, and then speaking to the media

2287
01:50:07,800 --> 01:50:11,320
Speaker 1: Friday afternoon, and then speaking to the team Saturday night

2288
01:50:11,360 --> 01:50:14,200
Speaker 1: before the game, and you know, and then the pregame

2289
01:50:14,280 --> 01:50:17,400
Speaker 1: speech and that, I mean, he knew. And I think

2290
01:50:17,479 --> 01:50:20,200
Speaker 1: that's I think that's one of Kyle's greatest qualities. He's

2291
01:50:20,240 --> 01:50:25,200
Speaker 1: always had a self awareness about him, you know, about

2292
01:50:25,840 --> 01:50:31,200
Speaker 1: how he's perceived, how he's received, And I think it

2293
01:50:31,360 --> 01:50:34,519
Speaker 1: makes him, you know, the quintessential leader because he knows

2294
01:50:34,760 --> 01:50:37,519
Speaker 1: when something needs to be said, and he's also wise

2295
01:50:37,640 --> 01:50:39,720
Speaker 1: enough to know when to shut the heck up. And

2296
01:50:39,840 --> 01:50:41,800
Speaker 1: when he said enough, It says a lot when a

2297
01:50:41,920 --> 01:50:45,680
Speaker 1: guy is, even if it's his moment, knowing when enough's enough.

2298
01:50:46,040 --> 01:50:50,280
Speaker 1: And he certainly had has you know, he almost had

2299
01:50:50,320 --> 01:50:51,800
Speaker 1: to coax it out of him. I mean, so it

2300
01:50:51,960 --> 01:50:54,040
Speaker 1: was You're right, I think it speaks well of him.

2301
01:50:54,120 --> 01:50:55,800
Speaker 1: Every are you saying it's important that a guy knows

2302
01:50:55,840 --> 01:51:01,880
Speaker 1: when to shut up? What's that speaking there? Was speaking

2303
01:51:01,920 --> 01:51:05,439
Speaker 1: of the snark box. Yeah, you teed it right out there.

2304
01:51:06,840 --> 01:51:09,559
Speaker 1: You hit it out of the park. He did not hesitate, Brownie.

2305
01:51:09,640 --> 01:51:11,519
Speaker 1: What else did you get out of the now? You're

2306
01:51:11,600 --> 01:51:13,720
Speaker 1: laugh see, you know it's fun. It was pretty What

2307
01:51:13,760 --> 01:51:15,080
Speaker 1: do you get out of the locker room today? Who

2308
01:51:15,120 --> 01:51:17,320
Speaker 1: said anything interesting? By the way, can I tell you

2309
01:51:17,600 --> 01:51:19,920
Speaker 1: I salute you for going even today after a good

2310
01:51:19,960 --> 01:51:22,519
Speaker 1: win yesterday that was always my least favorite day of

2311
01:51:22,520 --> 01:51:25,920
Speaker 1: the year, locker clean out day. It's sad. Well yeah, um,

2312
01:51:26,160 --> 01:51:28,320
Speaker 1: but I think it's different. I think it's different because

2313
01:51:28,320 --> 01:51:30,800
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people are are buoyed by

2314
01:51:30,920 --> 01:51:33,759
Speaker 1: what you know, this team has shown down the stretch. Granted,

2315
01:51:34,200 --> 01:51:36,000
Speaker 1: you know there were still some instances where they could

2316
01:51:36,040 --> 01:51:39,320
Speaker 1: not pull out close games, the first Miami game being

2317
01:51:39,400 --> 01:51:43,040
Speaker 1: one of him. Um and even Micah Hyde reference to that.

2318
01:51:43,520 --> 01:51:46,160
Speaker 1: He said, Look, I'm really excited about where this team

2319
01:51:46,280 --> 01:51:49,479
Speaker 1: is going and what we have in house. And then

2320
01:51:50,000 --> 01:51:52,360
Speaker 1: knowing there's a lot of money to spend and ten

2321
01:51:52,479 --> 01:51:55,919
Speaker 1: draft choices, you know, this team makes the right decisions

2322
01:51:55,920 --> 01:51:58,160
Speaker 1: in the off season, they could really be in very

2323
01:51:58,240 --> 01:52:02,960
Speaker 1: good position going forward. Not only because of the stability

2324
01:52:03,040 --> 01:52:04,840
Speaker 1: that is in place here at the top with Sean

2325
01:52:04,960 --> 01:52:08,519
Speaker 1: McDermott and Brandon Bean, but with some of the important

2326
01:52:08,560 --> 01:52:12,240
Speaker 1: positions that you've been able to solidify, most notably quarterback

2327
01:52:12,560 --> 01:52:16,719
Speaker 1: middle linebacker with two of the most dynamic athletic talents

2328
01:52:16,760 --> 01:52:19,760
Speaker 1: to come out of last year's draft. So you roll

2329
01:52:19,880 --> 01:52:22,320
Speaker 1: the whole thing together, and I think there is reason

2330
01:52:22,439 --> 01:52:27,200
Speaker 1: to be optimistic in a real way. Everybody gets optimistic

2331
01:52:27,240 --> 01:52:30,320
Speaker 1: in August and September, you know, Hope springs eternal and

2332
01:52:30,400 --> 01:52:34,599
Speaker 1: that whole bag. But I think there's a different sense

2333
01:52:34,680 --> 01:52:36,880
Speaker 1: about it now. There's a different sense about it now,

2334
01:52:37,200 --> 01:52:39,640
Speaker 1: and the players in the locker room feel it, they

2335
01:52:39,800 --> 01:52:42,519
Speaker 1: see it, and most importantly, they believe it. I think

2336
01:52:42,600 --> 01:52:46,080
Speaker 1: the process that has been at times even joked about

2337
01:52:46,160 --> 01:52:49,360
Speaker 1: by fan base, I think has real legs to it now,

2338
01:52:50,040 --> 01:52:52,479
Speaker 1: and I think fans have tuned into that too. Many

2339
01:52:52,479 --> 01:52:54,080
Speaker 1: of the colors we get on this show, with people

2340
01:52:54,120 --> 01:52:57,320
Speaker 1: we talk to, I think are aware that a this

2341
01:52:57,560 --> 01:53:01,400
Speaker 1: two eighteen season was primarily about getting a rookie quarterback

2342
01:53:01,439 --> 01:53:03,200
Speaker 1: ready to play, and now at the end of it,

2343
01:53:03,439 --> 01:53:05,519
Speaker 1: I think many of them feel, well, they got the

2344
01:53:05,600 --> 01:53:07,599
Speaker 1: rookie quarterback ready to play. He's going to be okay

2345
01:53:07,760 --> 01:53:10,280
Speaker 1: right that? And look, Sex and ten is not a success,

2346
01:53:10,680 --> 01:53:13,360
Speaker 1: but what they accomplish aside from wins and losses might

2347
01:53:13,400 --> 01:53:15,559
Speaker 1: be beautists. Yeah, And I think the other big thing

2348
01:53:15,760 --> 01:53:19,240
Speaker 1: is there aren't a lot of gigantic free agent decisions

2349
01:53:20,200 --> 01:53:22,040
Speaker 1: weighing over them. I mean, yes, you want to get

2350
01:53:22,080 --> 01:53:24,200
Speaker 1: Lorenzo Alexander back in the fold here, but I think

2351
01:53:24,240 --> 01:53:26,800
Speaker 1: as long as they're giving him fair market value, he's here.

2352
01:53:26,840 --> 01:53:29,040
Speaker 1: He wants to be here. His family loves this community.

2353
01:53:29,320 --> 01:53:30,920
Speaker 1: They live here in the off season, they go to

2354
01:53:30,960 --> 01:53:35,479
Speaker 1: school here, so that's good. And then after that, you've

2355
01:53:35,520 --> 01:53:38,400
Speaker 1: got people. You know, you've got offensive lineman Jordan Mills,

2356
01:53:38,479 --> 01:53:40,320
Speaker 1: John Miller. Do you want them back? Do you want

2357
01:53:40,360 --> 01:53:43,800
Speaker 1: to upgrade? What do you want to do there? You know,

2358
01:53:43,920 --> 01:53:46,439
Speaker 1: Jeremiah Searles is another young player that kind of came

2359
01:53:46,479 --> 01:53:49,600
Speaker 1: in mid season. Jordan Phillips another player that came in

2360
01:53:49,680 --> 01:53:52,200
Speaker 1: midseason who's a free agent. You know, you'd like to

2361
01:53:52,479 --> 01:53:55,320
Speaker 1: believe they want him back. You know, he had mentioned

2362
01:53:55,320 --> 01:53:58,000
Speaker 1: that talks are already started between him and the Bills.

2363
01:53:59,240 --> 01:54:01,280
Speaker 1: You know, is the money end up being right? Do

2364
01:54:01,360 --> 01:54:03,240
Speaker 1: they kind of plug a hole before it even gets

2365
01:54:03,280 --> 01:54:05,800
Speaker 1: to be open with Kyle Williams walking out the door

2366
01:54:05,840 --> 01:54:09,600
Speaker 1: and into the sunset. So lots of decisions, lots of

2367
01:54:09,680 --> 01:54:12,519
Speaker 1: money to spend. They make the right decisions, They're going

2368
01:54:12,600 --> 01:54:15,040
Speaker 1: to be loaded for bear in twenty nineteen in a

2369
01:54:15,160 --> 01:54:19,400
Speaker 1: division that is very quickly looking like a two team division,

2370
01:54:19,479 --> 01:54:22,600
Speaker 1: because New England is going to have their stability like

2371
01:54:22,720 --> 01:54:24,680
Speaker 1: they always do, but they're gonna lose some assistance in

2372
01:54:24,760 --> 01:54:29,479
Speaker 1: all likelihood. Josh McDaniels Flores, the defensive coordinator, is getting

2373
01:54:29,560 --> 01:54:33,400
Speaker 1: mentioned as a possible coaching candidate elsewhere. And there are

2374
01:54:33,480 --> 01:54:36,960
Speaker 1: eight open head coaching jobs right now. Last year, I believe,

2375
01:54:37,000 --> 01:54:38,800
Speaker 1: I want to say there were six, I'd have to

2376
01:54:38,880 --> 01:54:41,520
Speaker 1: double check, but so they've already exceeded that. You've got

2377
01:54:41,560 --> 01:54:44,000
Speaker 1: a quarter of the league looking for head coaches, and

2378
01:54:44,960 --> 01:54:47,920
Speaker 1: two of them are in your division. And I don't

2379
01:54:47,960 --> 01:54:50,160
Speaker 1: care what coach you bring in to either of those

2380
01:54:50,240 --> 01:54:53,280
Speaker 1: places to get it turned around in one season. I

2381
01:54:53,360 --> 01:54:55,080
Speaker 1: think the history of the league has shown us is

2382
01:54:55,120 --> 01:54:59,480
Speaker 1: easier said than done, and so knowing that alone, let's

2383
01:54:59,520 --> 01:55:03,000
Speaker 1: forget about whatever offseason decisions this franchise makes. Knowing the

2384
01:55:03,120 --> 01:55:05,960
Speaker 1: Jets are hitting the reset button, knowing the Dolphins are

2385
01:55:06,040 --> 01:55:09,960
Speaker 1: hitting the reset button. I think it only augments the

2386
01:55:10,120 --> 01:55:13,680
Speaker 1: chances of the Bills going into twenty nineteen. I'm gonna

2387
01:55:13,680 --> 01:55:15,520
Speaker 1: ask you what's coming up on Buffalo bills dot com,

2388
01:55:15,600 --> 01:55:18,800
Speaker 1: but I was promoting earlier. Soon maybe when you tell

2389
01:55:18,840 --> 01:55:21,560
Speaker 1: me Kyle Williams miked up will be available right on

2390
01:55:21,640 --> 01:55:23,560
Speaker 1: the social media play Yeah, I think we want to

2391
01:55:23,560 --> 01:55:27,320
Speaker 1: miss that. We hope to have that by tomorrow. Usually

2392
01:55:27,400 --> 01:55:30,160
Speaker 1: it shows up on Tuesday or Wednesday at the latest,

2393
01:55:30,680 --> 01:55:32,920
Speaker 1: so you know, if you're puttering around your house on

2394
01:55:32,960 --> 01:55:34,960
Speaker 1: New Year's Day because you're not working, check the website

2395
01:55:35,000 --> 01:55:36,880
Speaker 1: and hopefully we'll have it there for you. Yet, we

2396
01:55:36,960 --> 01:55:40,320
Speaker 1: had him miked up, and knowing it was Kyle's last game,

2397
01:55:40,760 --> 01:55:42,680
Speaker 1: we didn't put one camera on and we had two.

2398
01:55:43,360 --> 01:55:45,560
Speaker 1: We didn't want to miss a single thing from that day,

2399
01:55:46,560 --> 01:55:48,960
Speaker 1: and I'm I'm sure Kyle thought at one point we

2400
01:55:49,000 --> 01:55:51,520
Speaker 1: had a tether attached to him as many times as

2401
01:55:51,520 --> 01:55:55,040
Speaker 1: we had a camera literally tripping over him so as

2402
01:55:55,120 --> 01:55:56,960
Speaker 1: not to miss anything. I mean, he was even joking

2403
01:55:57,040 --> 01:55:59,640
Speaker 1: with our camera guys while he was on while he

2404
01:55:59,760 --> 01:56:02,080
Speaker 1: was up, like shouting into the mic, I see you

2405
01:56:02,280 --> 01:56:03,880
Speaker 1: making fun of me. I see you laughing at me.

2406
01:56:03,960 --> 01:56:06,440
Speaker 1: He had his eyes everywhere watching and he was watching

2407
01:56:06,480 --> 01:56:09,280
Speaker 1: the messages that you know, some of his former teammates

2408
01:56:09,320 --> 01:56:13,960
Speaker 1: were sending, you know via iPhone uh and FaceTime that uh,

2409
01:56:14,160 --> 01:56:16,240
Speaker 1: you know, our our scoreboard people had up on the

2410
01:56:16,320 --> 01:56:18,440
Speaker 1: board on Sunday, and he was making fun of a

2411
01:56:18,520 --> 01:56:21,440
Speaker 1: lot of them too. What he got the called Aaron

2412
01:56:21,480 --> 01:56:26,000
Speaker 1: showbill very old, among other things, that guy's gotta get

2413
01:56:26,040 --> 01:56:29,640
Speaker 1: some dressed man. Three o'clock cut random Bean, you'll cover

2414
01:56:29,760 --> 01:56:32,520
Speaker 1: that and Sean. So we'll have quick hits covering those

2415
01:56:32,600 --> 01:56:34,200
Speaker 1: guys in a nutshell if you don't get a chance

2416
01:56:34,240 --> 01:56:35,920
Speaker 1: to listen live, but we will be carrying it on

2417
01:56:36,000 --> 01:56:39,760
Speaker 1: our social media page is streaming live there for both

2418
01:56:39,800 --> 01:56:42,720
Speaker 1: of them. And you know, tomorrow we're going to kind

2419
01:56:42,760 --> 01:56:45,920
Speaker 1: of take a little bit of a dive into the

2420
01:56:46,040 --> 01:56:48,880
Speaker 1: top ten of the draft because as we know, the

2421
01:56:48,920 --> 01:56:52,600
Speaker 1: Bills are picking uh tenth or ninth? Which is it?

2422
01:56:52,680 --> 01:56:54,600
Speaker 1: I saw two different things this morning. See I keep

2423
01:56:54,640 --> 01:56:57,160
Speaker 1: forgetting I think it's ninth. Yes it's ninth. You're right,

2424
01:56:57,240 --> 01:56:58,920
Speaker 1: it's nice. But I did see some people before it

2425
01:56:58,960 --> 01:57:01,120
Speaker 1: was the reason why there was so much confusion was

2426
01:57:01,160 --> 01:57:04,000
Speaker 1: because of the strength of victory number, and Denver and

2427
01:57:04,160 --> 01:57:08,400
Speaker 1: Buffalo were like one thousandth of a point off in

2428
01:57:08,520 --> 01:57:11,760
Speaker 1: the strength of victory percentage. It was like five Some

2429
01:57:11,840 --> 01:57:13,760
Speaker 1: people had it at five twenty three and the Bills

2430
01:57:13,800 --> 01:57:16,879
Speaker 1: at five twenty four, when in actuality they were identical,

2431
01:57:16,960 --> 01:57:18,800
Speaker 1: and then went to another tiebreaker that I don't even

2432
01:57:18,880 --> 01:57:21,240
Speaker 1: know about. I'm sure there's a logarithm out there that

2433
01:57:21,400 --> 01:57:25,920
Speaker 1: only about seven people understand. Then the winning percentage of

2434
01:57:26,000 --> 01:57:29,880
Speaker 1: the teams they played, so it was strength of victory

2435
01:57:30,040 --> 01:57:32,880
Speaker 1: strength of the main tiebreaker, but they were deadlocked with

2436
01:57:33,000 --> 01:57:34,320
Speaker 1: that and so they had to go to something else.

2437
01:57:34,320 --> 01:57:37,160
Speaker 1: So I don't know what happened with that, but the

2438
01:57:37,240 --> 01:57:41,120
Speaker 1: Bills do pick ninth and Denver picks tenth, so they

2439
01:57:41,240 --> 01:57:43,920
Speaker 1: move up a spot from maybe where even some people anticipating,

2440
01:57:43,920 --> 01:57:47,160
Speaker 1: but we kind of give an early synopsis of the

2441
01:57:47,320 --> 01:57:50,520
Speaker 1: top ten choices and what it could mean and how

2442
01:57:50,560 --> 01:57:52,480
Speaker 1: we could impact the Bills. So that'll be up as

2443
01:57:52,520 --> 01:57:56,280
Speaker 1: a New Year's thing to chew on tomorrow, you know,

2444
01:57:56,360 --> 01:58:00,240
Speaker 1: and then we'll obviously be delving deeply into where things

2445
01:58:00,320 --> 01:58:03,320
Speaker 1: yo and you know the kind of season Josh Allen had,

2446
01:58:03,360 --> 01:58:06,760
Speaker 1: Tremayne Edmunds, their prospects going forward, along with a whole

2447
01:58:06,800 --> 01:58:09,760
Speaker 1: bunch of other nuts and bolts statistically that we have

2448
01:58:09,880 --> 01:58:12,160
Speaker 1: to dive into now because you know the season's been

2449
01:58:12,200 --> 01:58:14,280
Speaker 1: put to bed. Yep, Happy New Year, Brownie, Yes do

2450

01:58:19,080 --> 01:58:22,720
Speaker 1: The whole thing. I don't listen time marches on bro

Speaker 1: Chris Brown, Bills Insider, Buffalo Bills dot Com, Steve and

2454
01:58:26,200 --> 01:58:28,880
Speaker 1: I coming Back. One Goes Live presented by Kalida Health

2455
01:58:28,920 --> 01:58:47,960
Speaker 1: from One Bill's Driving. This is Buffalo Bill's Radio. Let's go, Baby,

2456
01:58:48,040 --> 01:58:50,960
Speaker 1: Let's go man, all right, let's come tight baby. Thirteen

2457
01:58:51,080 --> 01:58:53,040
Speaker 1: years ago I walked in this locker room and my

2458
01:58:53,160 --> 01:58:55,680
Speaker 1: greatest fear was not being successful. It was letting the

2459
01:58:55,680 --> 01:58:58,520
Speaker 1: men in the room down, letting my teammates down. It

2460
01:58:58,560 --> 01:59:00,600
Speaker 1: was the fifty two sets eyes look back at me,

2461
01:59:00,960 --> 01:59:03,280
Speaker 1: and thirteen years later, on the doorstep of the last one,

2462
01:59:03,520 --> 01:59:06,560
Speaker 1: that's still my greatest fear. Man's sixty minutes left to go.

2463
01:59:06,680 --> 01:59:09,000
Speaker 1: It's my greatest fear. It's the pin in my stomach

2464
01:59:09,160 --> 01:59:11,120
Speaker 1: that has driven me for so Long's to give it

2465
01:59:11,160 --> 01:59:14,080
Speaker 1: all to you. We talked about it last night. Man,

2466
01:59:14,360 --> 01:59:18,920
Speaker 1: what makes the Buffalo Bills different? When loss records anything

2467
01:59:19,000 --> 01:59:21,880
Speaker 1: like that? What's gonna catapult us forward? It's each other.

2468
01:59:22,560 --> 01:59:25,520
Speaker 1: It's about each other. It's about what you're willing to

2469
01:59:25,640 --> 01:59:30,560
Speaker 1: do for that man. All right, Adopt that man, adopt it.

2470
01:59:30,720 --> 01:59:33,080
Speaker 1: Be willing to give that man everything you got. All

2471
01:59:33,160 --> 01:59:35,760
Speaker 1: the time, it's always driven me. My greatest fear has

2472
01:59:35,760 --> 01:59:38,520
Speaker 1: always been letting anybody in here down looking back at me.

2473
01:59:38,720 --> 01:59:40,480
Speaker 1: Boys and Blue are here to play. Man, Let's go

2474
01:59:40,680 --> 01:59:44,240
Speaker 1: have fun. Let's go have some fun. Let's play sixty

2475
01:59:44,320 --> 01:59:47,160
Speaker 1: more minutes, close out twenty eighteen on a high note.

2476
01:59:47,320 --> 01:59:49,960
Speaker 1: And let's enjoyed being together in this time. Man, we're

2477
01:59:50,000 --> 01:59:52,520
Speaker 1: not gonna get it back. We're not gonna get it back.

2478
01:59:52,960 --> 01:59:55,520
Speaker 1: Let's love each other, Let's hug each other, and let's

2479
01:59:55,560 --> 01:59:57,880
Speaker 1: enjoy the moment. Let's enjoy the day. Man, Let's go

2480

Speaker 1: Welcome back to the show, John Murphy, Steve Tasker. We

2483
02:00:07,520 --> 02:00:10,240
Speaker 1: are joined right now by longtime Bill's running back, former

2484
02:00:10,280 --> 02:00:13,280
Speaker 1: Kyle Williams. Teammate and the co host of Bills Tonight

2487
02:00:18,160 --> 02:00:20,240
Speaker 1: New Year to you guys as well. I imagine you

2488
02:00:20,280 --> 02:00:21,880
Speaker 1: were on the receiving end of some of those Kyle

2489
02:00:21,920 --> 02:00:25,240
Speaker 1: Williams pregame speeches over the years, huh, I was, you know.

2490
02:00:25,360 --> 02:00:28,600
Speaker 1: And the thing about kyleege he always had you ready

2491
02:00:28,640 --> 02:00:30,920
Speaker 1: to run through a wall for him, So it was

2492
02:00:31,000 --> 02:00:33,120
Speaker 1: always great to have him being the person that got

2493
02:00:33,240 --> 02:00:35,320
Speaker 1: us ready to go before we went out because you

2494
02:00:35,400 --> 02:00:37,480
Speaker 1: knew he was gonna do a great job at him. Yeah,

2495
02:00:37,520 --> 02:00:39,240
Speaker 1: it was. It was fun to hear and and it

2496
02:00:39,400 --> 02:00:42,400
Speaker 1: was a great day. And I know you took it

2497
02:00:42,480 --> 02:00:45,600
Speaker 1: all in as well. What struck you most about the

2498
02:00:45,720 --> 02:00:48,360
Speaker 1: way the day transpired, not only the game, but the

2499
02:00:48,440 --> 02:00:52,200
Speaker 1: tribute to Kyle and all the things that went into it. Well,

2500
02:00:52,280 --> 02:00:54,040
Speaker 1: I mean, I think the thing about it that I

2501
02:00:54,200 --> 02:00:56,000
Speaker 1: was most happy about is just that he got the

2502
02:00:56,040 --> 02:00:58,640
Speaker 1: door it under his own terms, you know, and there

2503
02:00:58,760 --> 02:01:01,040
Speaker 1: was extra gifts along on the way, his family been

2504
02:01:01,080 --> 02:01:03,400
Speaker 1: out on the field and being able to do it

2505
02:01:03,480 --> 02:01:06,240
Speaker 1: at home. Those are all things that you don't always

2506
02:01:06,240 --> 02:01:07,840
Speaker 1: get a chance to do, and for him, he was

2507
02:01:07,920 --> 02:01:10,640
Speaker 1: able to do it and got well deserving of all

2508
02:01:10,680 --> 02:01:13,720
Speaker 1: the attention that he got because he definitely laid it

2509
02:01:13,800 --> 02:01:15,320
Speaker 1: all on the line for his team and for the

2510
02:01:15,440 --> 02:01:18,200
Speaker 1: city and for the organization. So I was just happy

2511
02:01:18,240 --> 02:01:19,360
Speaker 1: that he got to do it in a way that

2512
02:01:19,400 --> 02:01:21,960
Speaker 1: he did. Hey, I've asked this question to players before

2513
02:01:22,080 --> 02:01:26,240
Speaker 1: and former players about a possible carryover effect of last

2514
02:01:26,320 --> 02:01:28,040
Speaker 1: getting of the year from one year to the next.

2515
02:01:28,560 --> 02:01:30,360
Speaker 1: I guess Bill Fins would like to think that all

2516
02:01:30,400 --> 02:01:32,320
Speaker 1: the good things that happened yesterday might carry over and

2517
02:01:32,400 --> 02:01:34,720
Speaker 1: help them next year. Is it realistic? Does that happen?

2518
02:01:35,800 --> 02:01:38,080
Speaker 1: I definitely think you you you have some kind of

2519
02:01:38,120 --> 02:01:40,320
Speaker 1: effect from him. You can go into the off season,

2520
02:01:40,360 --> 02:01:41,760
Speaker 1: you can see what some of the things you did

2521
02:01:42,560 --> 02:01:45,640
Speaker 1: well in that last game, and it can definitely catapult

2522
02:01:45,680 --> 02:01:48,280
Speaker 1: you into thinking that, you know, we we did some

2523
02:01:48,560 --> 02:01:50,400
Speaker 1: things that are are are great for us, and we

2524
02:01:50,480 --> 02:01:53,120
Speaker 1: could continue to do those great things. So, I mean

2525
02:01:53,240 --> 02:01:55,680
Speaker 1: there's something to it. Obviously, it's a new season and

2526
02:01:55,720 --> 02:01:58,120
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to uh figure out what it is

2527
02:01:58,200 --> 02:02:00,720
Speaker 1: that you do well this year but the next year.

2528
02:02:01,680 --> 02:02:04,320
Speaker 1: But I think there's something to you know, having a

2529
02:02:04,520 --> 02:02:06,560
Speaker 1: good feeling of going into the off season knowing that

2530
02:02:06,640 --> 02:02:08,680
Speaker 1: you won your last game and you did it so convincingly.

2531
02:02:09,000 --> 02:02:11,000
Speaker 1: What do you think that game meant overall? I mean,

2532
02:02:11,040 --> 02:02:13,640
Speaker 1: it was a big win against the division rival, the Dolphins.

2533
02:02:13,680 --> 02:02:16,560
Speaker 1: Actually the next day they won so conventionally. I don't

2534
02:02:16,600 --> 02:02:18,320
Speaker 1: know if it was a contributing factor or whether it

2535
02:02:18,360 --> 02:02:21,200
Speaker 1: was the final star or whatever, but they the Dolphins

2536
02:02:21,280 --> 02:02:25,240
Speaker 1: fired Adam Gase this morning. It was a pretty convincing win.

2537
02:02:25,480 --> 02:02:28,400
Speaker 1: And it was the second time. Although the first time

2538
02:02:28,440 --> 02:02:31,000
Speaker 1: they dominated the Dolphins didn't turn into a win, the

2539
02:02:31,080 --> 02:02:34,960
Speaker 1: Bills still to statistically in Miami dominated them there as well.

2540
02:02:35,640 --> 02:02:38,920
Speaker 1: What does that that? What's that tell you going forward? Well?

2541
02:02:39,000 --> 02:02:41,800
Speaker 1: I think it lets you know that there the Bills

2542
02:02:41,800 --> 02:02:43,200
Speaker 1: are going in the right way or going in the

2543
02:02:43,280 --> 02:02:46,280
Speaker 1: right direction to be able to hand it to a

2544
02:02:46,400 --> 02:02:48,560
Speaker 1: teammate or to a team like the Dolphins when they

2545
02:02:48,600 --> 02:02:50,840
Speaker 1: came in and they have been playing, willing to be

2546
02:02:50,880 --> 02:02:52,240
Speaker 1: able to go out and do the things that they

2547
02:02:52,320 --> 02:02:55,360
Speaker 1: wanted to get done, push them around all over the field,

2548
02:02:55,960 --> 02:02:58,960
Speaker 1: make plays on offense, defense, special teams, whatever it was

2549
02:02:59,040 --> 02:03:00,480
Speaker 1: that they wanted to get done, and they were able

2550
02:03:00,520 --> 02:03:03,400
Speaker 1: to do so. And I think that that that sets

2551
02:03:03,480 --> 02:03:05,640
Speaker 1: the tone for you. You know, we are a team

2552
02:03:05,720 --> 02:03:07,920
Speaker 1: that you know, we're on the rise, and we got

2553
02:03:08,000 --> 02:03:10,280
Speaker 1: to continue to improve. And if we continue to do

2554
02:03:10,400 --> 02:03:12,160
Speaker 1: the things that we want to do, we can go

2555
02:03:12,280 --> 02:03:14,040
Speaker 1: out and we can push teams around like we did,

2556
02:03:14,200 --> 02:03:17,480
Speaker 1: uh Miami yesterday. So I think it's something that um,

2557
02:03:17,920 --> 02:03:20,720
Speaker 1: you know, the Bills can be they can hang their

2558
02:03:20,720 --> 02:03:23,360
Speaker 1: hat on and and and like I said, look at

2559
02:03:23,680 --> 02:03:26,280
Speaker 1: some stuff to catapult them into the next season. You know,

2560
02:03:26,720 --> 02:03:28,920
Speaker 1: Steve was talking earlier on our show here Fred about

2561
02:03:29,400 --> 02:03:31,720
Speaker 1: you can see a difference in culture between the Bills

2562
02:03:31,720 --> 02:03:33,960
Speaker 1: and the Dolphins from yesterday's game. Did you get that

2563
02:03:34,080 --> 02:03:38,000
Speaker 1: observing that game yesterday? Well, I think when you see

2564
02:03:38,040 --> 02:03:40,520
Speaker 1: stuff like Keiko out there, the way he's acting and

2565
02:03:41,120 --> 02:03:43,920
Speaker 1: the idiotic plays he was making. And I you know,

2566
02:03:44,040 --> 02:03:46,280
Speaker 1: I have a great relationship with Keiko, but you know,

2567
02:03:46,400 --> 02:03:48,840
Speaker 1: just some stuff that's not that that doesn't need to

2568
02:03:48,880 --> 02:03:50,320
Speaker 1: be a part of our game. And I think, uh,

2569
02:03:50,720 --> 02:03:54,400
Speaker 1: you know, if if you saw, um, you know, Edman's

2570
02:03:54,400 --> 02:03:56,720
Speaker 1: out there doing that, you would see McDermott losing his

2571
02:03:57,120 --> 02:03:59,840
Speaker 1: mind on the sideline. So I think there's some stuff that,

2572
02:04:00,080 --> 02:04:02,440
Speaker 1: you know, coaching wise, you know, you have to be

2573
02:04:02,520 --> 02:04:06,360
Speaker 1: able to rain in and you wouldn't see McDermott's going

2574
02:04:06,440 --> 02:04:08,960
Speaker 1: for things like that. So I think there's definitely a

2575
02:04:09,040 --> 02:04:12,120
Speaker 1: different culture. And even you would see Kyle, Kyle would

2576
02:04:12,120 --> 02:04:14,080
Speaker 1: be losing his mind if he was on the sideline

2577
02:04:14,360 --> 02:04:17,640
Speaker 1: or on the field with players making idiotic plays like that.

2578
02:04:17,800 --> 02:04:20,840
Speaker 1: So I think there's definitely a different culture, and I

2579
02:04:21,000 --> 02:04:23,160
Speaker 1: think that might have been something that contributed to the

2580
02:04:23,480 --> 02:04:26,520
Speaker 1: firing up the coach this morning. What did you think

2581
02:04:26,560 --> 02:04:28,840
Speaker 1: about the way Josh played? I mean, he had three

2582
02:04:28,960 --> 02:04:32,000
Speaker 1: touchdown passes, he ran for two touchdowns. I mean he

2583
02:04:32,080 --> 02:04:34,880
Speaker 1: was a wrecking crew in and of himself. I know

2584
02:04:35,040 --> 02:04:37,320
Speaker 1: that's not really exactly the way you want the offense

2585
02:04:37,400 --> 02:04:39,680
Speaker 1: to operate, but when you've got that in the tank,

2586
02:04:39,760 --> 02:04:42,680
Speaker 1: it's kind of nice to see. I mean, he's a

2587
02:04:42,760 --> 02:04:44,480
Speaker 1: lot of fun to watch. And one of the things

2588
02:04:44,520 --> 02:04:46,680
Speaker 1: I talked about last night on the show is, you know,

2589
02:04:46,840 --> 02:04:49,040
Speaker 1: I see him running more like a running back and

2590
02:04:49,120 --> 02:04:51,680
Speaker 1: not a quarterback. You know, with the way that he's

2591
02:04:52,160 --> 02:04:55,480
Speaker 1: you know, even making fake tosses. He's trying to change

2592
02:04:55,560 --> 02:04:58,160
Speaker 1: angles of the way guys are coming at him and

2593
02:04:58,280 --> 02:05:01,800
Speaker 1: then doing so he's taking some of those those hits

2594
02:05:01,920 --> 02:05:04,280
Speaker 1: that would be big hits, he's changing the way that

2595
02:05:04,320 --> 02:05:06,200
Speaker 1: they would hit him. So you know, he's a lot

2596
02:05:06,280 --> 02:05:07,920
Speaker 1: of fun and a lot of fun to watch. And

2597
02:05:07,960 --> 02:05:10,200
Speaker 1: I think one of the things that he's going to

2598
02:05:10,280 --> 02:05:14,840
Speaker 1: continue to develop as is a runner. You know, as

2599
02:05:15,000 --> 02:05:18,440
Speaker 1: players and former players and guys sitting back watching and

2600
02:05:18,560 --> 02:05:21,120
Speaker 1: were worried about him taking that big hit, but the

2601
02:05:21,240 --> 02:05:24,040
Speaker 1: way that he's trying to change angles and create the

2602
02:05:24,120 --> 02:05:27,760
Speaker 1: way different angles that defenders are coming at him, he's

2603
02:05:27,800 --> 02:05:30,280
Speaker 1: minimizing those chances of taking those big hits. So he's

2604
02:05:30,280 --> 02:05:32,640
Speaker 1: a lot of fun to watch. I mean, obviously, throwing

2605
02:05:32,680 --> 02:05:34,120
Speaker 1: the ball down the field is what we want to

2606
02:05:34,120 --> 02:05:36,880
Speaker 1: see him do, and he made some big time throws

2607
02:05:37,000 --> 02:05:39,800
Speaker 1: yes today. So as long as he continues to improve,

2608
02:05:39,960 --> 02:05:42,680
Speaker 1: not only in the running game like he's doing weekend

2609
02:05:42,720 --> 02:05:44,480
Speaker 1: and week out. I think he rushed for over six

2610
02:05:44,600 --> 02:05:48,200
Speaker 1: hundred and something guards this year, and improving the passing game,

2611
02:05:48,240 --> 02:05:50,320
Speaker 1: he's going to be a big time threat for the

2612
02:05:50,360 --> 02:05:52,640
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills and long for a long time. If the

2613
02:05:52,680 --> 02:05:55,400
Speaker 1: offseason is here, if you were general manager of the

2614
02:05:55,400 --> 02:05:57,560
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills, what would be at the top of your

2615
02:05:57,600 --> 02:06:01,280
Speaker 1: list of things to get done over the next six months. Uh.

2616
02:06:02,160 --> 02:06:05,560
Speaker 1: I think number one, your defense is good. You try

2617
02:06:05,600 --> 02:06:09,240
Speaker 1: and improve those guys, but your defense is good. I

2618
02:06:09,280 --> 02:06:11,400
Speaker 1: think you're trying to put as many weapons around Josh

2619
02:06:11,560 --> 02:06:14,560
Speaker 1: on offense as you can and help him succeed because

2620
02:06:14,680 --> 02:06:17,320
Speaker 1: with the way your defense is playing, if you get

2621
02:06:18,280 --> 02:06:20,520
Speaker 1: some more weapons for him to take advantage of, and

2622
02:06:20,680 --> 02:06:24,040
Speaker 1: him he keeps improving, you'll have a pretty complete team,

2623
02:06:24,120 --> 02:06:26,720
Speaker 1: and you'll be a team that you have to be

2624
02:06:26,800 --> 02:06:30,280
Speaker 1: worried about playing every week Sunday, Fred, did Shady show

2625
02:06:30,360 --> 02:06:32,960
Speaker 1: you a little something yesterday that we hadn't seen from him?

2626
02:06:33,000 --> 02:06:35,360
Speaker 1: I mean, I thought he made a couple of plays. Obviously,

2627
02:06:35,440 --> 02:06:37,960
Speaker 1: he got stopped he like he has all season. He

2628
02:06:38,000 --> 02:06:40,200
Speaker 1: got hit in the backfield a bunch, But there were

2629
02:06:40,200 --> 02:06:42,040
Speaker 1: a couple of things not only passing him, but also

2630
02:06:42,080 --> 02:06:44,360
Speaker 1: in the running game where you saw flashes of what

2631
02:06:44,520 --> 02:06:46,840
Speaker 1: he still has. What do you what do you think

2632
02:06:46,840 --> 02:06:49,800
Speaker 1: about Shady going forward with the Buffalo Bills. Yeah, I

2633
02:06:49,880 --> 02:06:52,400
Speaker 1: mean he showed that he can still, you know, make

2634
02:06:52,440 --> 02:06:54,880
Speaker 1: some place when his number is called. So it'll be

2635
02:06:54,960 --> 02:06:58,240
Speaker 1: interesting to see what they do. I think he showed

2636
02:06:58,800 --> 02:07:01,320
Speaker 1: uh flashes all your own that you know he's still

2637
02:07:01,440 --> 02:07:04,000
Speaker 1: capable of making those plays that he's known for making.

2638
02:07:04,080 --> 02:07:08,080
Speaker 1: So m you know, the number one thing is staying healthy.

2639
02:07:08,240 --> 02:07:09,680
Speaker 1: You know, if he can prove that he can stay

2640
02:07:09,760 --> 02:07:13,080
Speaker 1: healthy throughout the season, I don't see why he's not

2641
02:07:13,160 --> 02:07:15,680
Speaker 1: back next year. Fred Rock goes on in Iowa on

2642
02:07:16,040 --> 02:07:19,960

2663
02:08:11,800 --> 02:08:14,400

Speaker 1: Go down that well, you can get in bed, get

2669
02:08:24,800 --> 02:08:28,040
Speaker 1: up down jamas in your bathrobe, watch the ball dropping.

2670
02:08:28,240 --> 02:08:29,360
Speaker 1: You didn't even have to get out of the car,

2671
02:08:29,840 --> 02:08:31,480
Speaker 1: no thing, so you say you did. Sure, they'll have

2672
02:08:31,520 --> 02:08:33,800
Speaker 1: a great time in the new year, will be ushered

2673
02:08:33,840 --> 02:08:35,560
Speaker 1: in with or without me. I'll wake up to mont

2674
02:08:35,560 --> 02:08:38,400
Speaker 1: It'll be twenty nineteen for you two and for me too.

2675
02:08:38,640 --> 02:08:41,360
Speaker 1: All right, Well, hey, we're talking a lot about yesterday's win,

2676
02:08:41,400 --> 02:08:43,320
Speaker 1: and what do you think that the Buffalo win did

2677
02:08:43,440 --> 02:08:46,520
Speaker 1: for twenty nineteen? If anything, man, and it's a legitimate

2678
02:08:46,800 --> 02:08:49,600
Speaker 1: if you want to say nothing. You know, that's fine.

2679
02:08:49,800 --> 02:08:52,240
Speaker 1: I accept that. I mean, I can't tell you, Steve,

2680
02:08:52,280 --> 02:08:54,280
Speaker 1: over the years, how many players have said, you don't

2681
02:08:54,320 --> 02:08:56,400
Speaker 1: really carry over. Coaches, you don't really carry over one

2682
02:08:56,480 --> 02:08:58,480
Speaker 1: year to the next. What's your what's your taking on?

2683
02:08:58,840 --> 02:09:01,160
Speaker 1: Like I said, I think it does carry individual guys

2684
02:09:01,200 --> 02:09:03,960
Speaker 1: over if they finished the season high, it motivates them

2685
02:09:03,960 --> 02:09:07,360
Speaker 1: in the off season for more that um, if if

2686
02:09:07,400 --> 02:09:09,720
Speaker 1: they think they can advance their career for their family

2687
02:09:09,760 --> 02:09:13,760
Speaker 1: and you know, for their future, you know, coming into

2688
02:09:13,800 --> 02:09:16,160
Speaker 1: a contractor year coming out of a contrary, it really

2689
02:09:16,200 --> 02:09:18,440
Speaker 1: feels good, and it motivates you to get started earlier

2690
02:09:18,480 --> 02:09:25,120
Speaker 1: on your on your offseason workouts. And I'm certainly because

2691
02:09:25,160 --> 02:09:27,240
Speaker 1: here's the thing, and Kyle said it in that pregame speech.

2692
02:09:27,280 --> 02:09:29,560
Speaker 1: We just said, they don't get that moment back, They'll

2693
02:09:29,560 --> 02:09:31,840
Speaker 1: never get it back. That team that was in the

2694
02:09:31,920 --> 02:09:34,240
Speaker 1: locker room for the last time. They're to say goodbye

2695
02:09:34,280 --> 02:09:38,040
Speaker 1: to couple. It's gone forever. Because when it comes back

2696
02:09:38,080 --> 02:09:41,120
Speaker 1: together next in April fifteen, there's gonna be fifty new

2697
02:09:41,200 --> 02:09:43,280
Speaker 1: guys in there, and there's gonna be a ton of

2698
02:09:43,360 --> 02:09:45,640
Speaker 1: new players, and it's gonna be a different team even

2699
02:09:45,680 --> 02:09:47,360
Speaker 1: if some of them resign and most of the core

2700
02:09:47,480 --> 02:09:50,360
Speaker 1: guys are the same, all there's gonna be at least

2701
02:09:50,400 --> 02:09:53,320
Speaker 1: a dozen new faces on that roster, probably more than that.

2702
02:09:54,240 --> 02:09:57,880
Speaker 1: So that team has gone forever, and as fun as

2703
02:09:57,920 --> 02:09:59,520
Speaker 1: it was and as much as it meant to those

2704
02:09:59,520 --> 02:10:01,120
Speaker 1: guys in the room, they don't get it back. So

2705
02:10:01,200 --> 02:10:03,720
Speaker 1: that's something to remember and it's something to you do.

2706
02:10:03,920 --> 02:10:06,440
Speaker 1: Kind of carry that with you and for better, for worse.

2707
02:10:07,080 --> 02:10:10,120
Speaker 1: Let's take your thoughts on this. What did Sunday's win

2708
02:10:10,200 --> 02:10:13,320
Speaker 1: over the Dolphins tell us about the Bill's future? Dave

2709
02:10:13,400 --> 02:10:15,240
Speaker 1: in Florida on the line of us, Hello, Dave, go ahead,

2710
02:10:15,240 --> 02:10:21,360
Speaker 1: and you're on the air. Hello David Florida. Are you there? Nope,

2711
02:10:21,440 --> 02:10:23,360
Speaker 1: Let's go to Mike and West Seneca. Mike, Welcome to

2712
02:10:23,400 --> 02:10:28,880
Speaker 1: the show. Hey guys, Happy New Year. All this talk

2713
02:10:28,920 --> 02:10:35,640
Speaker 1: about Kyle Williams and his storybook ending congratulations of Kyle's

2714
02:10:35,720 --> 02:10:41,280
Speaker 1: well deserved, but it brought to my mind Steve's last

2715
02:10:41,960 --> 02:10:48,280
Speaker 1: game in uniform, where unfortunately he was ejected for an

2716
02:10:48,360 --> 02:10:51,760
Speaker 1: inadvertent bump with a referee, And I just think that

2717
02:10:52,280 --> 02:10:57,360
Speaker 1: call was so deplorable because it just took that experience

2718
02:10:57,440 --> 02:11:01,880
Speaker 1: away from Steve. Well, Mike, don't lose any sleep over it,

2719
02:11:01,880 --> 02:11:05,680
Speaker 1: because I certainly don't. You know, I appreciate the sentiment,

2720
02:11:06,080 --> 02:11:09,120
Speaker 1: and it was. It stunk right when it happened, but

2721
02:11:09,520 --> 02:11:13,320
Speaker 1: you know, a week after I was pretty much back

2722
02:11:13,360 --> 02:11:16,240
Speaker 1: to normal and you should be too. So I appreciate

2723
02:11:16,320 --> 02:11:18,600
Speaker 1: the sentiment, and you're right, it's not exactly the story

2724
02:11:18,640 --> 02:11:23,040
Speaker 1: book ending that, Kyle. I love the story the sandwich

2725
02:11:23,120 --> 02:11:25,560
Speaker 1: and of the Green Bay Line. I quite the story

2726
02:11:25,600 --> 02:11:28,680
Speaker 1: booginning of my story. But still, I mean, and let's face,

2727
02:11:29,240 --> 02:11:31,520
Speaker 1: at my last home game, they introduced me like they did, Kyle.

2728
02:11:31,600 --> 02:11:33,200
Speaker 1: I came out by myself, so you at the end.

2729
02:11:33,240 --> 02:11:36,480
Speaker 1: So that was kind of cool. And you know, a breakcare,

2730
02:11:36,520 --> 02:11:38,640
Speaker 1: We're coming back. One Bill slide from One Bill's Drive

2731
02:11:38,680 --> 02:11:55,920
Speaker 1: on Buffalo Bill's Radio. What Have We Learned is presented

2732
02:11:55,960 --> 02:11:59,640
Speaker 1: by Advanced Alarm providing Western New York's homes and businesses

2733

2734
02:12:02,080 --> 02:12:04,880
Speaker 1: preferred alarm and home theater provider of the Buffalo Bills. Hey,

2735
02:12:04,880 --> 02:12:07,120
Speaker 1: we had Josh Allen on the show here today. We

2736
02:12:07,240 --> 02:12:09,400
Speaker 1: talked to him about a lot of things, including yesterday's

2737
02:12:09,440 --> 02:12:11,680
Speaker 1: game and what it meant for the Bill's future. Here's

2738
02:12:11,680 --> 02:12:17,720
Speaker 1: what he said. Our fans are awesome, UM stadium, the atmosphere,

2739
02:12:17,840 --> 02:12:20,520
Speaker 1: the energy that we feel, you know, to have all

2740
02:12:20,560 --> 02:12:23,200
Speaker 1: the energy built up with you know, it being Kyle's

2741
02:12:23,280 --> 02:12:26,080
Speaker 1: last game. You know, how we played for each other.

2742
02:12:26,960 --> 02:12:28,800
Speaker 1: It was a great team winsterday. And I get the

2743
02:12:28,840 --> 02:12:31,320
Speaker 1: sense that that game meant something and maybe he has

2744
02:12:31,360 --> 02:12:33,680
Speaker 1: something to say about next year for this Buffalo Bills.

2745
02:12:33,720 --> 02:12:36,440
Speaker 1: It meant something for you know, us included, but the

2746
02:12:36,480 --> 02:12:39,440
Speaker 1: whole city of Buffalo. I think the say call out

2747
02:12:39,880 --> 02:12:42,440
Speaker 1: the way we did, like I said, kind of how

2748
02:12:42,520 --> 02:12:47,200
Speaker 1: we performed, the excitement that you know, maybe built up

2749
02:12:47,440 --> 02:12:49,800
Speaker 1: in fans minds now of you know what we can

2750
02:12:49,920 --> 02:12:52,200
Speaker 1: be and Um, like I said, I'm looking forward to

2751
02:12:52,240 --> 02:12:55,000
Speaker 1: getting back Josh Allen talking about what it meant. We

2752
02:12:55,040 --> 02:12:57,360
Speaker 1: talked with Chris Brown Bills Inside or Buffalo Bills dot

2753
02:12:57,400 --> 02:13:00,200
Speaker 1: Com and asked him about the impact of yesterday's game

2754
02:13:00,240 --> 02:13:04,320
Speaker 1: on the Bill's impending future. Here's what he said. I

2755
02:13:04,520 --> 02:13:07,480
Speaker 1: think that the defense has kind of found itself in

2756
02:13:07,640 --> 02:13:11,200
Speaker 1: terms of an identity. Micah Hyde kind of echoed that sentiment.

2757
02:13:11,280 --> 02:13:12,920
Speaker 1: He said he really didn't feel like they hit their

2758
02:13:12,960 --> 02:13:16,280
Speaker 1: stride until maybe the last six seven weeks of the season.

2759
02:13:16,640 --> 02:13:19,480
Speaker 1: So really after the bye, we kind of locked in

2760
02:13:19,640 --> 02:13:22,880
Speaker 1: and everybody was on the same page and we knew

2761
02:13:22,920 --> 02:13:25,880
Speaker 1: what we were as a defense. So I would agree

2762
02:13:25,920 --> 02:13:30,400
Speaker 1: with that. And then I think for anybody that didn't

2763
02:13:30,440 --> 02:13:32,960
Speaker 1: think that the team had their quarterback, they've got their quarterback.

2764
02:13:33,520 --> 02:13:36,440
Speaker 1: I mean five touchdown day. There's no Bill's quarterback in

2765
02:13:36,560 --> 02:13:39,000
Speaker 1: history that has thrown for three and run for two

2766
02:13:39,040 --> 02:13:41,320
Speaker 1: in the same game. Chris Brown on the show, Hey, Steve,

2767
02:13:41,400 --> 02:13:42,680
Speaker 1: Happy New Year. I have a great time of the
