159
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 3: like Seah mcgermot, whoever the Bills are playing, but like yesterday,

160
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 3: that that game last night, Matt Eberflews and the Bears

161
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 3: challenge a Steph Diggs catch on the side, and I

162
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 3: was like they got to be drunk.

163
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:39,679
Speaker 2: It was like, what are you looking at?

164
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 3: What are you doing? They challenge it just a little

165
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:46,599
Speaker 3: toe tapper and it was right in front of them.

166
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, if the camera angle didn't convince you, what did

167
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 2: your eyeballs say? Fay? Yeah.

168
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:54,079
Speaker 3: So I was like thinking, I guess every every team

169
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 3: in the league must think their coaches the worst there

170
00:08:56,360 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 3: is it challenges and they must think that nobody else

171
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 3: gets injured in the entire league except their team, which

172
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 3: is kind of where the Bills were before this last weekend.

173
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:09,560
Speaker 2: Yes, you know, and we can get into that because

174
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 2: why not, right, But first, the first couple of Bills

175
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 2: notes in case you missed Coach McDermott's press conference on Friday,

176
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 2: the day after the Bill's victory over the Dolphins, and

177
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:28,839
Speaker 2: he basically said to rel Bernard strain. They think they

178
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:32,200
Speaker 2: believe he only strained his peck, but he is going

179
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 2: to miss multiple weeks. And I'm going to get the

180
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:36,719
Speaker 2: direct quote here from coach because I don't want to

181
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:43,680
Speaker 2: miss quote him. But the good news is Taron Johnson

182
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:46,439
Speaker 2: was not put on IR prior to last Thursday's game,

183
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:48,400
Speaker 2: so the hope is that he'll return at the latest

184
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:51,200
Speaker 2: prior to the Houston game in Week six, But I

185
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 2: guess we'll see on that. And then, as I said,

186
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:56,079
Speaker 2: Torel Bernard, the update that coach McDermott game on Friday

187
00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 2: was he will miss multiple weeks with his pectoral injury.

188
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:02,959
Speaker 2: This is the quote. Unfortunately, he's going to be out

189
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 2: multiple weeks. We're talking about whether or not it's an

190
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 2: IR conducive type of situation or not. I'm aware of

191
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 2: the reports that are out there. We still have some

192
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 2: internal conversations that we have to have to determine if

193
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:18,199
Speaker 2: it's going to end up on IR or not end quote. Now,

194
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 2: national reporters prior to coach McDermott's press conference Friday, we're

195
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 2: reporting that the pectoral muscle was torn, which would likely

196
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:31,680
Speaker 2: put Bernard out into like December. But and those reporters

197
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 2: included ESPN's Adam Schefter. But since then, I mean, coach

198
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:41,439
Speaker 2: McDermott would not confirm a torn pectoral at all. So hope,

199
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:44,960
Speaker 2: the hope is that it's only strained and maybe he

200
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 2: misses a few weeks.

201
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:48,679
Speaker 3: Then it's like a pulled muscle and you can bounce

202
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:49,680
Speaker 3: back from that a little quick.

203
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:52,560
Speaker 2: One needs surgery right like day Kwon Jones had in

204
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:55,600
Speaker 2: week five. Take it back to like week seventeen, it's

205
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 2: a problem.

206
00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 3: So yeah, if it's torn, it's like a twelve week

207
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 3: I just have to wait and see which.

208
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:05,600
Speaker 2: And hopefully we get more clarification on it Wednesday, which

209
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:09,079
Speaker 2: is the next time coach McDermott is scheduled to address

210
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 2: the media. So that's kind of the Bills notes on things.

211
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 2: So let's go around the NFL now, which is brought

212
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 2: to you by Kalida Health, the official healthcare system of

213
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:21,600
Speaker 2: the Buffalo Bills. And as we said, for those who

214
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 2: believe that the Bills are the only team that sustained

215
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:29,840
Speaker 2: significant injuries, Week two would undoubtedly prove that not to

216
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 2: be the case. The Rams, who already lost Puka Nakua

217
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 2: last week their leading receiver, lost their one A receiver yesterday,

218
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 2: Cooper Cup to an ankle injury and their blowout loss

219
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 2: to the Arizona Cardinals. They're trying to determine if it's

220
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:49,520
Speaker 2: a high ankle sprain, which could put him out multiple weeks. Meanwhile,

221
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:53,600
Speaker 2: Chiefs running back Isaiah Pacheco left yesterday's game with an

222
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:57,680
Speaker 2: ankle injury and it turns out it also involves his fibula,

223
00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 2: which is the non weight bearing in the lower leg.

224
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 2: His leg got pinned underneath some tacklers yesterday. Testing this

225
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 2: morning revealed a fractured fibula, so he's expected to miss

226
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 2: multiple weeks. They're expected to put him on IR late

227
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 2: last week. The Chiefs also learned they'd be without wide

228
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:20,320
Speaker 2: receiver Hollywood Brown potentially for the season because he needs

229
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 2: shoulder surgery. So the hits just keep on coming for

230
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:27,319
Speaker 2: the Chief's offense, right, that's a see I was leg

231
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 2: got pinned back.

232
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:31,439
Speaker 3: And it wasn't pretty at all, and you can see

233
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:33,199
Speaker 3: why something had to.

234
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 2: Give, But quite literally, it was his fibula.

235
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:38,560
Speaker 3: It was his fibula, So yeah, that's an It didn't

236
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 3: stop there, I mean, keep going right.

237
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:44,360
Speaker 2: Joe Mixon last night, running back for Houston, suffered an

238
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:46,560
Speaker 2: ankle injury al what looked like a hip drop tackle

239
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 2: or something very close to the.

240
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 3: Only one I saw that did look like a hip

241
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 3: drop tackle.

242
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:53,840
Speaker 2: And Steve and I kind of sat in on the

243
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 2: conference calls that the league has at the beginning of

244
00:12:56,840 --> 00:13:00,320
Speaker 2: the year for broadcasters, so we're better prepared for a

245
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 2: what to look for and b why or why not

246
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:05,840
Speaker 2: a flag might be thrown or a player may or

247
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:08,679
Speaker 2: may not be penalized. And with the hip drop tackle,

248
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 2: they told us several times over on the league conference

249
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:15,840
Speaker 2: call that all three elements of the hip drop tackle

250
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 2: have to be present for the referee to call it.

251
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 2: One the tackler leaving his feet to put his full

252
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:29,200
Speaker 2: body weight on the ball carrier. Two swiveling the hips

253
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:33,000
Speaker 2: to swing their lower body around and onto the body

254
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:38,720
Speaker 2: of the ball carrier, and then three dropping all of

255
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 2: their full weight on that ball carrier to make the

256
00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:45,720
Speaker 2: tackle on their lower body. If any one of those

257
00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 2: elements the official believes not to be present, he is

258
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 2: not going to call a hip drop tackle. Which follow

259
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:56,480
Speaker 2: up questions I remember on the conference call were, well,

260
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 2: so they're basically not going to call it unless they're

261
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:02,079
Speaker 2: convinced the elements are there, And the answer was yes.

262
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:04,559
Speaker 2: So we're probably not going to get a lot of

263
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 2: hip drop tackle calls this year, but I think in

264
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,760
Speaker 2: reviewing a lot of them over the days that follow,

265
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:13,719
Speaker 2: a lot of players are going to be fine for him.

266
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 3: That's exactly right, And Collins were brought it up last night.

267
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 3: He says, what they're doing is if they see it,

268
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 3: and it's obvious that they may call it, but they're

269
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:24,560
Speaker 3: gonna let the film.

270
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 2: Review and New York adjudicated.

271
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 3: Adjudicated with fines and punishment that morning and warnings, so

272
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 3: it won't be a part of the game.

273
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 2: Yeah. I didn't see the play myself, but it looked

274
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 2: to you like it had everything.

275
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 3: Needed that one did. Yeah, now we maybe we're going

276
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:46,360
Speaker 3: to talk about you know, Jamar Chase lost his mind

277
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 3: and actually kind of put the Bengals at a point

278
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 3: where they're going to lose the game because of it.

279
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 3: He lost his mind because he got a hip drop track.

280
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 3: He thought he got a hip drop tackle on him

281
00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:59,120
Speaker 3: on him, and I did not think that was I

282
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 3: thought he was out of line. So that's just a

283
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:07,400
Speaker 3: player going off. But they said no, and I agreed

284
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 3: with that. But this one that Joe Mixon got, yeah,

285
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:11,640
Speaker 3: I thought it was a hip drop tackle.

286
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 2: So we'll see if the guilty party does get fined

287
00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 2: later in the week. Meanwhile, Jets head coach Robert Salah

288
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:24,000
Speaker 2: said after yesterday's win by the Jets over the Titans

289
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:27,760
Speaker 2: that their defensive end, former first round picked Jermaine Johnson,

290
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 2: one of their top pass rushers. Looks like he suffered

291
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 2: a ruptured achilles I believe the Jets have since confirmed

292
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 2: that this morning, So that would be a season ender

293
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 2: for Jermaine Johnson. And this is a Jets team that's

294
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 2: already playing without holdout Hassan Reddick. Jermaine Johnson is without

295
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:48,560
Speaker 2: Reddick in the lineup, their best pass rusher. He could

296
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 2: be lost for the season to an achilles injury, which

297
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 2: would leave them with Will McDonald, who did have a

298
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 2: big play at the end of the game yesterday to

299
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:58,440
Speaker 2: seal the win over the Titans. He sacked Levice at

300
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 2: the end of the game to kind of close it out.

301
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:05,480
Speaker 2: But their pass rush is going to look an awful

302
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 2: lot different without Jermaine Johnson part of it. So well, yeah, Son,

303
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 2: Reddick is somewhere smiling like a cheshire cat.

304
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:19,080
Speaker 3: That's not going to change anything. They don't have the money,

305
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 3: I mean they we're talking about Hassan Reddick getting a

306
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:25,440
Speaker 3: new deal. He's holding out and the Jets can't. I

307
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:27,160
Speaker 3: mean they can't give him a new deal, or at

308
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 3: least they couldn't for a long time. Maybe they'll free

309
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 3: up some cash now, have to do.

310
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 2: Something because their pass rush is going to be negatively impacted.

311
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:37,360
Speaker 2: I mean, Jermaine Johnson is a good player, right, I mean,

312
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:41,800
Speaker 2: that's a loss for them, so love to see where

313
00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 2: that goes. The news is better for Vikings wide receiver

314
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:49,240
Speaker 2: Justin Jefferson. He left the game yesterday and the Vikings

315
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 2: surprising win over the Niners. Did not return, but it's

316
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:58,360
Speaker 2: only deemed to be a quad contusion, and Jefferson has

317
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 2: already told Minnesota media will be ready for next week's game.

318
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:05,680
Speaker 2: So a bullet dodge there for sure. And you know

319
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:12,640
Speaker 2: that's kind of the run of the major injuries. I mean,

320
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:15,400
Speaker 2: obviously you had Dolphins quarterback to a Tongue of Ioloa.

321
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:19,199
Speaker 2: The update for him is he does not plan to

322
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:23,240
Speaker 2: retire after sustaining the latest of several career concussions last

323
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:26,200
Speaker 2: week against the Bills. This according to NFL Network see

324
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:29,399
Speaker 2: in rapaport. Tongue of Iloa was forced off the field,

325
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:33,080
Speaker 2: as we know, during the game from a hit that

326
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:39,960
Speaker 2: he seemed to initiate when DeMar Hamlin tackled him. And

327
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:44,880
Speaker 2: basically where it's at now is he's going to kind

328
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 2: of assess options. Meanwhile, the Dolphins have moved forward. They

329
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:53,840
Speaker 2: have signed Tyler Snoop Huntley off of Baltimore's practice squad

330
00:17:53,880 --> 00:18:00,359
Speaker 2: to serve as the backup quarterback to Skyler Thompson, who's

331
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:02,720
Speaker 2: gonna move into the starting lineup while two was out

332
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:07,720
Speaker 2: of the lineup. So here's the one thing I was wondering.

333
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:11,160
Speaker 2: Do you think they called to see if they could

334
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 2: get Mike White back who was on Buffalo's practice squad,

335
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:16,200
Speaker 2: or do you think Mike White said no, I'm good.

336
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 2: I mean, he ultimately got cut by them because they

337
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:21,359
Speaker 2: said Thompson beat him out for the backup job.

338
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:23,720
Speaker 3: That wouldn't surprise me.

339
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:26,640
Speaker 2: I mean, he knows the offense, so you would think

340
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:27,600
Speaker 2: that would be a call they.

341
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 3: And they know him is more likely too, I think

342
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 3: that they are. It would be them, not him.

343
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:35,680
Speaker 2: But instead they went with Snoop Huntley, who, interestingly enough,

344
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:39,560
Speaker 2: probably better mimics Skyler Thompson's physical skill set. Both those

345
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:42,720
Speaker 2: guys can run around and by time with their legs.

346
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 2: I would plays with their legs.

347
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:46,320
Speaker 3: I would imagine so, and I'll say this too, when

348
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 3: when we get back to it about about two, it

349
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:50,000
Speaker 3: doesn't surprise me that two is gonna come back and play.

350
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:54,359
Speaker 3: It doesn't surprise me at all. Not at all, a

351
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:56,560
Speaker 3: lot of concussion and I'm not gonna and I'm not

352
00:18:56,680 --> 00:19:03,080
Speaker 3: gonna even second guess him. Yeah, it's it's his decision,

353
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:08,600
Speaker 3: no question about it. And the you know, but I

354
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 3: know this too, he probably feels today after the game,

355
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:19,240
Speaker 3: being back on Thursday, he probably feels above well above

356
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 3: ninety percent normal really absolutely. I mean this was his

357
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:27,800
Speaker 3: fourth concussion, Yeah, and he probably Yeah, and that's not

358
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:32,480
Speaker 3: even counting the one that wasn't formally counted. Oh yeah,

359
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:37,600
Speaker 3: that's he's sustained against the Bill, right, he started it all. Yeah, Yeah,

360
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:40,120
Speaker 3: he's just I mean, that's this one we're looking at, and.

361
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:41,920
Speaker 2: Hit his head on the turf. He tries to run

362
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:43,919
Speaker 2: back to the huddle, he can't walk. Yeah, And he

363
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:45,640
Speaker 2: came back in that game. And then the next week

364
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 2: he goes to play against the Bengals, doesn't even hit

365
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:50,239
Speaker 2: his head on the ground, just gets whipped around and

366
00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:53,440
Speaker 2: has a debilitating concussion, and then gets his third one

367
00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:55,200
Speaker 2: against the Packers and misses the rest of the season.

368
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:56,720
Speaker 3: All of them happened the same way. He gets his

369
00:19:56,800 --> 00:20:01,360
Speaker 3: head banged off the turf, the back and I'm just not.

370
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:04,600
Speaker 2: The one against the Bills was not even a documented concussion.

371
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:07,200
Speaker 2: But you know what did happen? Got the independent neurological

372
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:09,960
Speaker 2: consultant fired? Of course it did because he lied and

373
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:10,600
Speaker 2: he put him back.

374
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:11,120
Speaker 3: And that's the thing.

375
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:13,840
Speaker 2: And these players will too, a lie to the i

376
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:16,600
Speaker 2: n C. The i n C lets him go back

377
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 2: in the game, and the NFLPA later after an NFL investigation, says,

378
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:23,880
Speaker 2: we want to exercise our right to fire the independent

379
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:25,639
Speaker 2: neurological consultant. He's fired.

380
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:27,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it happened.

381
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:30,720
Speaker 2: Absolutely, he never got documented with a concussion.

382
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:31,639
Speaker 3: He should have been fired.

383
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:34,879
Speaker 2: I mean, right, well, we don't know what happened behind

384
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:37,640
Speaker 2: closed doors, because there are reports that Kyle van Noy,

385
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:39,560
Speaker 2: who was on the Dolphins at the time, told Too

386
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 2: how to lie on the concussion test so he could

387
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 2: get back on the field for the second half of

388
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:43,560
Speaker 2: the game.

389
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:48,160
Speaker 3: Telling that you're back. So all that's going. But all

390
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:50,840
Speaker 3: of that said, it does not surprise me at all

391
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:52,359
Speaker 3: that two is going to say, no, I'm coming back

392
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:59,880
Speaker 3: and playing not at all. Yeah, So, and I say

393
00:20:59,880 --> 00:21:04,479
Speaker 3: that I was a little bit nah, I don't know.

394
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:10,200
Speaker 3: I was a little bit surprised at the somber nature

395
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:15,960
Speaker 3: of the broadcast when Too went down with that injury.

396
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:17,760
Speaker 3: I get it. I mean, nobody wants to see anybody

397
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:24,240
Speaker 3: get hurt, but I'll say that too is gonna Yeah,

398
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:26,320
Speaker 3: I'm it just doesn't surprise me. And it came back.

399
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 3: It doesn't surprise me. You feel too normal not to

400
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:36,520
Speaker 3: keep playing, and certainly they're gonna take every precaution. And

401
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:38,920
Speaker 3: I'm sure he's got one of those helmets now that

402
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:43,040
Speaker 3: you know they it's the helmets. There's a I think

403
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:47,479
Speaker 3: six types of helmet you can get to where as

404
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:53,320
Speaker 3: an NFL player that are testing better than another model

405
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:57,520
Speaker 3: with the pro cap on it, and that's without the

406
00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:00,560
Speaker 3: pro cap. So the new the new helmet are getting

407
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 3: better and better. He'll get one of those, he'll feel

408
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:06,199
Speaker 3: a little better about it, and he'll play and move on.

409
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,359
Speaker 3: I'm not saying he'll never ever get another concussion in

410
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:14,119
Speaker 3: the NFL, but I'm not surprised that he's gonna come

411
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:15,119
Speaker 3: back and play in this one.

412
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:18,640
Speaker 2: As we mentioned, Jermaine Johnson, the pass rusher for the Jets,

413
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:21,600
Speaker 2: he just put out on his Instagram that he did

414
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:26,359
Speaker 2: rupture his achilles. He basically confirmed the injury and basically said,

415
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:29,600
Speaker 2: we're in good spirits and I'm going to be back

416
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:31,879
Speaker 2: and get right. So I'm glad he's got the right

417
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:35,199
Speaker 2: attitude about it. But his season is over for the

418
00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:39,520
Speaker 2: Jets after two games, and the Jets have a tight

419
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:41,960
Speaker 2: turnaround if they're playing Thursday night against the Patriots.

420
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:42,439
Speaker 4: Wow.

421
00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:46,399
Speaker 3: So and you were telling me today and I agree

422
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:49,480
Speaker 3: with you. The Patriots defense is no joke.

423
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:54,480
Speaker 2: It's legit. Yeah, they are a legit defense. They just

424
00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:56,639
Speaker 2: right now don't have enough offense to pair with that.

425
00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:03,400
Speaker 2: And still went to overtime with Seattle yesterday. So Seattle

426
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:05,600
Speaker 2: ended up winning in overtime twenty three to twenty I

427
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:09,879
Speaker 2: think was the final. So Seahawks are two and oh,

428
00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:15,000
Speaker 2: much like the Bills are, but that's kind of around

429
00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:17,480
Speaker 2: the NFL. Brought to you by Kalida Healthy, Official healthcare

430
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:21,240
Speaker 2: system of the Buffalo Bills. Saints are two and oh.

431
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:26,440
Speaker 2: Pretty impressive. Two and oh. They are the leading scoring

432
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:29,520
Speaker 2: team in the league right now. Bills lead the AFC

433
00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:31,439
Speaker 2: in points per game at thirty two and a half.

434
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:35,200
Speaker 3: The Saints, there was a point they had seventeen possessions

435
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:37,639
Speaker 3: in the entire season and had scored on all of them.

436
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 3: I think it was seventeen or was it fifteen?

437
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:40,920
Speaker 2: I can't remember. I don't have that.

438
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:45,040
Speaker 3: They hadn't they hadn't not scored on any possession in

439
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:45,600
Speaker 3: the season.

440
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:55,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Saints with Derry Carr new OC claimed Kubiak

441
00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 2: killing it, killing it right now. He's made made Jerry

442
00:23:58,640 --> 00:23:59,320
Speaker 2: Carr look all pro.

443
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:02,439
Speaker 3: Let me just say this, Clint Kubiak is on his

444
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:04,760
Speaker 3: way to being a head coach next year if that

445
00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:07,320
Speaker 3: keeps up. Oh yeah, because that You can't do that

446
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:10,280
Speaker 3: with those guys and not get noticed and say, listen,

447
00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:13,760
Speaker 3: I have an owner's I want that guy right there.

448
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:16,680
Speaker 3: Do that with Bryce Young, that thing that you did

449
00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:20,400
Speaker 3: with Derek Carr, and or do that with.

450
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:23,120
Speaker 2: You know, our guy whoever our guy is right.

451
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 3: Do that with you know Caleb Williams. Sure, do it

452
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:33,760
Speaker 3: with Justin Fields. Do it whatever he's not getting Justin

453
00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:35,720
Speaker 3: Fields because Justin Field is going to be in Pittsburgh

454
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:37,320
Speaker 3: and Mike Tomlin ain't going anywhere.

455
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:39,320
Speaker 5: You know.

456
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:41,240
Speaker 2: By the way, I told you before we got on

457
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:42,880
Speaker 2: the air, I don't know how the Steelers are doing it.

458
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:47,479
Speaker 2: They've scored one offensive touchdown in two games.

459
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:49,160
Speaker 3: They got two wins and one touchdown.

460
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:54,120
Speaker 2: They're two to zero. I mean, Mike Tomlin's he's got

461
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:55,879
Speaker 2: to deal with the devil. How is he pulling?

462
00:24:57,320 --> 00:24:58,760
Speaker 3: I don't know how he's doing it.

463
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:01,040
Speaker 2: One touchdow down in two games.

464
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 3: Well, they got two victories.

465
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:03,040
Speaker 6: Now.

466
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:06,160
Speaker 2: Chris Boswell was AFC Special Teams Player of the Week

467
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:09,320
Speaker 2: last week. He had three fifty yarders, two forty yarders

468
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:11,840
Speaker 2: and another field goal. And they win eighteen to ten

469
00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:14,359
Speaker 2: last week against Atlanta without scoring a touchdown.

470
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:18,160
Speaker 3: And TJ. Watt is an absolute wrecking crew. Yeah, he's

471
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:19,800
Speaker 3: a monster by himself.

472
00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:22,640
Speaker 2: And they haven't turned the ball over. That's enough.

473
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:23,240
Speaker 3: It's not easy.

474
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:26,680
Speaker 2: I mean, the Bill lights out defense. You don't turn the.

475
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:29,240
Speaker 3: Ball about it the Bill. The Bills don't turn the

476
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:33,600
Speaker 3: ball over against Miami, right, they did have any turnovers.

477
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:35,639
Speaker 3: They had one penalty for five yards.

478
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 2: That's, by the way, that was the fewest penalties in

479
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:39,439
Speaker 2: a road game in Bill's history.

480
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:45,560
Speaker 3: One penalty for five yards, no turnovers. I mean, that's

481
00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:49,760
Speaker 3: that's an uphill battle for that other team, for the Dolphins.

482
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:53,320
Speaker 2: It is, indeed, we should tell you. Incidentally, this week's

483
00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:56,919
Speaker 2: game against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Monday Night Football is

484
00:25:56,920 --> 00:26:01,440
Speaker 2: presented by Wegmans, the official tailgate headquarters of the Buffalo Bills.

485

488
00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:11,320

00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:50,600
Speaker 3: I gonna do that about that?

506
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:50,880
Speaker 2: Yeah?

507
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:51,679
Speaker 5: Uh?

508
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:56,920
Speaker 2: Our our crack staff in the control room, they had

509
00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:04,159
Speaker 2: two possessions. Uh end with an interception and a punt

510
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:07,240
Speaker 2: followed by the end of the game against Dallas. They

511
00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:13,600
Speaker 2: went touchdown, touchdown, touchdown, touchdown, touchdown, touchdown, interception, punt, field goal,

512
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:16,320
Speaker 2: end of game. They punted once on the year once

513
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:19,760
Speaker 2: and they had another possession ended by.

514
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:22,159
Speaker 3: The And they beat the Dallas Cowboys. They beat the

515
00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:26,320
Speaker 3: Dallas and then last week they beat Let.

516
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:28,000
Speaker 2: Me look, I'll Carolina.

517
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:31,520
Speaker 3: It was Carroll. Doesn't really count the maskline.

518
00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:32,760
Speaker 2: I think it was Carolina.

519
00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:38,240
Speaker 3: It was Carolina. Okay, all right, we'll pump the brakes.

520
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:42,720
Speaker 2: Don't you love the roller coaster that the early part

521
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:44,520
Speaker 2: of the season is. It's like, should I have an

522
00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:48,000
Speaker 2: opinion on this? Or is it too early? And it's

523
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:48,440
Speaker 2: too early?

524
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:51,760
Speaker 3: They now say this. They beat Dallas in Dallas's home.

525
00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:55,959
Speaker 2: Opener home games and I meeting the playoffs.

526
00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:57,760
Speaker 3: The Saints stepped on their throat.

527
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:02,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, early there it was. I'll tell you it cleared

528
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:04,720
Speaker 2: out early on Thursday night in Miami too.

529
00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:05,360
Speaker 3: Yes.

530
00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:08,560
Speaker 2: Eric Wood looked at me during a commercial break in

531
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:10,480
Speaker 2: the third quarter. He goes, I guess I don't have

532
00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:11,960
Speaker 2: to worry about beating the traffic.

533
00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:16,440
Speaker 3: I don't know that this happened during the drought at all,

534
00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:19,159
Speaker 3: but that I think you've really come to yourself. When

535
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:21,560
Speaker 3: you've got a team that's good and been good for

536
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:23,720
Speaker 3: a minute and you go into somebody else's building and

537
00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:26,800
Speaker 3: it turns into a home game late we it used

538
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:29,199
Speaker 3: to happen to those teams, those teams that I was on.

539
00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:32,840
Speaker 3: It happened a lot. It happened a lot, and then

540
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:34,560
Speaker 3: this one it happens too.

541
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:36,040
Speaker 2: I mean, it turns happened in Miami.

542
00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:38,360
Speaker 3: A lot of it happened in Miami a ton because

543
00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:40,800
Speaker 3: you know, they're twelve and one or twelve and two

544
00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:44,800
Speaker 3: over the last fourteen, whatever that number is. They're crushing

545
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:46,760
Speaker 3: those guys. Now, a lot of those games are close,

546
00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:50,440
Speaker 3: but there's been now there have been four at least

547
00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:55,400
Speaker 3: that were twenty point victories over that team. So yeah,

548
00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 3: that that's kind of cool, and it does happen. But man,

549
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:03,560
Speaker 3: old man, with the Saints going into Dallas and beating

550
00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:06,240
Speaker 3: those guys there, the Bills going into the Dolphins and

551
00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:10,480
Speaker 3: beating them by three count them three touchdowns, Chargers going

552
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:15,680
Speaker 3: to Carolina beating them by twenty three points, And what's

553
00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:18,960
Speaker 3: up with your Detroit Lions.

554
00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:22,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, they'll stub their toe every now and then.

555
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:25,160
Speaker 3: Well they I mean they they botched it at the

556
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:25,600
Speaker 3: end of the.

557
00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:28,040
Speaker 2: First half, and Campbell said, I cost them the game

558
00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:32,160
Speaker 2: because they couldn't spike the ball before the clock ran out,

559
00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:33,880
Speaker 2: and they didn't get the chance to kick a field goal,

560
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:36,160
Speaker 2: let alone take a shot at the end zone. And

561
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:37,760
Speaker 2: what they lose by three?

562
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:40,840
Speaker 3: They did and they had a home game. They barely

563
00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:43,640
Speaker 3: beat the La Rams last weekend.

564
00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:44,640
Speaker 2: On opening to sweat.

565
00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:46,960
Speaker 3: They sweated it out big time. So I don't know

566
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:50,200
Speaker 3: the well that first the first play schedule something you

567
00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:52,360
Speaker 3: got to You got to get acclimated to the Bills.

568
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:54,040
Speaker 3: They do it every year. They've done it for four

569
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:54,680
Speaker 3: years straight.

570
00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:58,560
Speaker 2: So it's and we're gonna talk about new because the

571
00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:01,080
Speaker 2: other thing we can discuss we will in addition to

572
00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:03,520
Speaker 2: our show topic, which we'll tell you in just a second.

573
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:10,360
Speaker 2: Some of these other teams lose coordinators or change coordinators changes,

574
00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:14,200
Speaker 2: they take a step back. Philadelphia last year lost their

575
00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:18,160
Speaker 2: OC and DC. How'd that look? They didn't make the playoffs.

576
00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:22,200
Speaker 2: How's Baltimore's defense looking with their coordinator running the show

577
00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:25,720
Speaker 2: up in Seattle? Now, Mike McDonald, they're having problems.

578
00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:27,120
Speaker 3: And they lost weavers.

579
00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:30,600
Speaker 2: How's Miami doing with their third defensive coordinator in three years?

580
00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:36,840
Speaker 2: So yeah, Bills are doing pretty darn good. When they

581
00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:37,960
Speaker 2: change their coordinators.

582
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:41,200
Speaker 3: That's right, That is correct.

583
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:45,040
Speaker 2: They stayed, stayed the course, and there's something to be

584
00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:48,800
Speaker 2: said for that, and it should not be just dismissed

585
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:53,600
Speaker 2: out of hand. They're there's value in your head, coach

586
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:57,880
Speaker 2: here and you should recognize it keeping things on the

587
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:02,120
Speaker 2: on the level when they may changes to their coordinator positions.

588
00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:04,960
Speaker 2: We have to step aside here, but we do want

589
00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:07,440

00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:12,800
Speaker 2: Fill in that blank for us at eight o three

626
00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:15,840
Speaker 2: oh five point fifty one eight eight eight five fifty

627
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:18,360
Speaker 2: two five fifty the number to get on board, and

628
00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:21,480
Speaker 2: we've got callers to get to and leading us off

629
00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:24,360
Speaker 2: today is Kevin in Williamsville. What do you got for us?

630
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:30,240
Speaker 5: Kevin, gentlemen, hurry today, good good, all right. I think

631
00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:32,560
Speaker 5: both of you do a really fine job, and thanks

632
00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:33,400
Speaker 5: for everything you do.

633
00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:35,000
Speaker 3: Sure you know.

634
00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:37,720
Speaker 5: I think the answer to the question, it's kind of difficult.

635
00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:39,760
Speaker 5: I will give you a split answer if you don't.

636
00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:40,240
Speaker 2: Manager.

637
00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:43,920
Speaker 5: I just think the Arizona Cardinal home game and a

638
00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:48,480
Speaker 5: Bill's opener at home. Uh, that was our advantage. The

639
00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:52,920
Speaker 5: enthusiasm that's in that stadium for a Bill's home opener

640
00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:56,000
Speaker 5: is is like nothing. It's like a playoff game. So

641
00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:59,520
Speaker 5: I'm gonna I'm going to give your answer just being

642
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:02,400
Speaker 5: that it's the opener. As far as the Miami game,

643
00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:06,960
Speaker 5: it has to be turnovers. I'm going by memory, but

644
00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:12,560
Speaker 5: maybe we were three plus right, And it kind of

645
00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:16,960
Speaker 5: leads into my question, which is ironic and back in

646
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:19,480
Speaker 5: the day, and this is Steve you could relate to

647
00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:24,759
Speaker 5: coach Levy's He has so many philosophies, and one in

648
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:28,360
Speaker 5: particular was the team that runs and stops the run,

649
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:31,440
Speaker 5: you know, has the better chance of winning, or however

650
00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:35,120
Speaker 5: he worded that. Here we are thirty forty years later,

651
00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:40,840
Speaker 5: hard to believe. Do you feel as that that statement

652
00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:44,640
Speaker 5: that coach Levy had said is irrelevant today and that

653
00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:49,759
Speaker 5: maybe that turnovers, the team with turnovers that achieve these

654
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:53,400
Speaker 5: turnovers have a better chance of winning, or what is

655
00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:59,640
Speaker 5: that particular stat you think today is in twenty twenty

656
00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:04,239
Speaker 5: four that that we could measure off of that.

657
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:08,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I don't know that there's an axiom

658
00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:10,600
Speaker 3: that will ever at this point. I think you still

659
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:13,960
Speaker 3: you run stop the run. If you can run it offensively,

660
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:18,960
Speaker 3: that means you can probably throw it as well, because

661
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:23,400
Speaker 3: it's harder to throw it. And if you can run it,

662
00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:26,240
Speaker 3: you're throwing a shorter distances because you're in second and short,

663
00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:33,160
Speaker 3: third and short, so all of that stuff piled in there. Sure,

664
00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:35,120
Speaker 3: because when you can run to stop the run, that

665
00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:36,560
Speaker 3: means you can do a lot of other things that

666
00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:39,760
Speaker 3: your opponent can't, and it sets you up for winning.

667
00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:42,000
Speaker 3: But you're right, if you're going to look for a statistic,

668
00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:46,160
Speaker 3: it's the turn aside from scoring points, it's the turnover margin.

669
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:49,600
Speaker 3: You take away of opportunities for your opponents to score

670
00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:52,960
Speaker 3: and you give yourself opportunities to score. It's that simple

671
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:56,640
Speaker 3: plus minus turnover ratio is huge in the NFL, and.

672
00:35:56,719 --> 00:35:59,520
Speaker 2: You what you do with them obviously, you know, I

673
00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:02,560
Speaker 2: mean the Bill had three Thursday Night and they score

674
00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:05,960
Speaker 2: seventeen of their thirty one points off of takeaways.

675
00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:08,560
Speaker 3: And they win by twenty one. Yeah, so if you

676
00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:10,839
Speaker 3: don't take it, yeah, if you don't take it away

677
00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:12,520
Speaker 3: from Miami in one of those interests, you think they

678
00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:15,120
Speaker 3: even even if they get two field goals out of

679
00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:20,400
Speaker 3: those three possessions that they squandered and the Bills don't

680
00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:25,839
Speaker 3: get ten of those points, you know, it's a very

681
00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:30,719
Speaker 3: close game. So that's that's the difference. But turnovers are

682
00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:34,720
Speaker 3: what good teams stay away from and what bad teams

683
00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:38,319
Speaker 3: do too much. The penalties are another thing, but yeah,

684
00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:44,239
Speaker 3: there's no there's always your the ability to go back

685
00:36:44,280 --> 00:36:47,480
Speaker 3: and look at the statistical analysis of of an individual

686
00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:50,000
Speaker 3: game like the Miami game or the Arizona game and say, well,

687
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:52,840
Speaker 3: this is this reason, and that's the reason there. I

688
00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:56,439
Speaker 3: think the topic of discussion today is more about overarching. Yeah,

689
00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:59,160
Speaker 3: is there's something more overarching than specifics of the game

690
00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:02,680
Speaker 3: and how they they unfolded. I think if it was

691
00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:08,160
Speaker 3: my choice, and I think my answer to the question

692
00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:13,439
Speaker 3: would probably be the Bill's ability to overcome injury. Their

693
00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:20,320
Speaker 3: defense played really well without the captain, the all pro

694
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:27,759
Speaker 3: and all and the turnover in the secondary to all pros.

695
00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:32,040
Speaker 3: So it's you know, I think that, yeah, Milano and

696
00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:36,320
Speaker 3: Bernard going down in those games, and then also Tarren Johnson.

697
00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:38,920
Speaker 2: That's arguably defense.

698
00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:40,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, right in the middle of there, right in the

699
00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:45,080
Speaker 3: middle of your defense. I think that's, to me is

700
00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:47,880
Speaker 3: probably the difference because you would feel like if you're

701
00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:51,920
Speaker 3: an NFL team, if you're healthy going into a game,

702
00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:53,640
Speaker 3: you feel like you play your game, you're gonna win.

703
00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:57,279
Speaker 3: That's and particularly with this crew right with with the

704
00:37:57,360 --> 00:37:59,680
Speaker 3: history they have, if we go in and we play

705
00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:02,160
Speaker 3: our game, we're gonna win. That's what the Arizona Cardinals

706
00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:04,040
Speaker 3: felt like. So what the Miami Dolphins felt likes what

707
00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:06,919
Speaker 3: the Carolina Panthers feel like that for crying out loud,

708
00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:09,760
Speaker 3: maybe not so much now, right they may have some doubts,

709
00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:13,399
Speaker 3: but that's what you feel like. So when anything goes

710
00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:17,040
Speaker 3: against you that you can't control, like you get you

711
00:38:17,080 --> 00:38:19,920
Speaker 3: get a bad penalty, like in a roughing the passer

712
00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:23,400
Speaker 3: call on Kyler Murray when he goes down untouched, or

713
00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:27,000
Speaker 3: when you get you know, a guy hurt, two guys hurt,

714
00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:30,480
Speaker 3: three guys hurt. That's the stuff you can't really foresee.

715
00:38:30,719 --> 00:38:33,120
Speaker 3: And when you're you have the ability to plug guys

716
00:38:33,160 --> 00:38:35,959
Speaker 3: into those spots and play at the level that they did.

717
00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:39,799
Speaker 3: That gives you the ability to play your game and

718
00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:43,240
Speaker 3: then therefore expect to win. I think that's the biggest

719
00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:46,719
Speaker 3: difference for me has been their ability to overcome the

720
00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:48,600
Speaker 3: injuries on their defensive side of the ball in the

721
00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:50,560
Speaker 3: year when you didn't. You weren't even sure about the

722
00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:54,680
Speaker 3: starters playing well with all the changeover, and yet you

723
00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:57,440
Speaker 3: get three guys who are the pillar trying to You

724
00:38:57,520 --> 00:38:59,440
Speaker 3: thought those guys, three guys you lost, we're gonna be

725
00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:02,120
Speaker 3: the guys at l all those new guys to new places,

726
00:39:02,680 --> 00:39:05,960
Speaker 3: all of a sudden, you're doing it anyway. That to

727
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:08,880
Speaker 3: me is the surprising thing that leads to a tuno start.

728
00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:11,200
Speaker 2: So Glenn in new fanex what's.

729
00:39:11,080 --> 00:39:15,279
Speaker 7: Up, Glenn, Well, good afternoon, guys, Thanks for having me on.

730
00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:21,880
Speaker 7: My question has to do with I was watching one

731
00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:26,120
Speaker 7: of the games yesterday and down the right sideline, the

732
00:39:26,200 --> 00:39:28,680
Speaker 7: quarterback throws the ball all the way down to his receiver.

733
00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:33,439
Speaker 7: The defender's right there pretty much on top of them,

734
00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:38,520
Speaker 7: and the rule. I'm wondering if you guys can clarify

735
00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:42,520
Speaker 7: the rule for me on the catch and when the

736
00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:46,640
Speaker 7: defender touches I guess as shin or part of it.

737
00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:51,680
Speaker 7: The defender's leg might have touched the receiver and the

738
00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:55,399
Speaker 7: guy hadn't even finished the actual catch. He was still

739
00:39:55,440 --> 00:39:59,440
Speaker 7: in the process of pulling the ball in. In my opinion,

740
00:39:59,560 --> 00:40:03,759
Speaker 7: the touch should not matter until after the catch is

741
00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:06,680
Speaker 7: officially made. Just like running out of bounds, you have

742
00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:10,000
Speaker 7: to make the catch and then you worry about the feet.

743
00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:14,000
Speaker 7: This rule, where you're touching the guy like five yards ago,

744
00:40:14,120 --> 00:40:18,799
Speaker 7: should not count until the guy's got the ball in possession,

745
00:40:19,080 --> 00:40:23,759
Speaker 7: and I was wondering what the rule might be specifically,

746
00:40:23,800 --> 00:40:25,920
Speaker 7: if you guys would know, Well.

747
00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:26,520
Speaker 3: Here's the thing.

748
00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:28,759
Speaker 2: If is the defender out of is one of his

749
00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:30,000
Speaker 2: feet out of bounds.

750
00:40:29,719 --> 00:40:33,200
Speaker 3: That's saying the guy almost didn't have control of it,

751
00:40:33,239 --> 00:40:35,200
Speaker 3: and the only time the defender touched it was when

752
00:40:35,239 --> 00:40:38,160
Speaker 3: he was in the act of catching the ball. That

753
00:40:38,320 --> 00:40:40,239
Speaker 3: when he got control of the ball, he had not

754
00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:43,160
Speaker 3: been touched and could get up and run, but they

755
00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:44,640
Speaker 3: called him down by contents of.

756
00:40:45,120 --> 00:40:50,040
Speaker 7: The defensive touch. I don't think is even relevant until

757
00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:55,480
Speaker 7: the catch. You know the guy that it's ridiculous. The

758
00:40:55,520 --> 00:40:58,680
Speaker 7: defender had just barely brushed the guy and the guy

759
00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:01,640
Speaker 7: was still in the process of trying to pull the

760
00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:05,920
Speaker 7: I don't think the defender touching him before the catcher's

761
00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:09,359
Speaker 7: official should even play into it like that, And that's

762
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:12,160
Speaker 7: what they call.

763
00:41:11,440 --> 00:41:12,920
Speaker 2: Sounds like an error in judgment.

764
00:41:13,320 --> 00:41:15,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it may happen so fast. And I'll say

765
00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:17,520
Speaker 3: this too. Usually when the guy and it's a play

766
00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:21,920
Speaker 3: like that, they'll call it down because if the defender,

767
00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:26,319
Speaker 3: because they won't know whether the defenders contact forced him

768
00:41:26,320 --> 00:41:28,040
Speaker 3: to go to the ground. So for instance, if they

769
00:41:28,120 --> 00:41:30,279
Speaker 3: bumped into each other and that caused the receiver to

770
00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:33,040
Speaker 3: get off balance and as he was falling down he

771
00:41:33,080 --> 00:41:38,120
Speaker 3: caught the ball, he's still down by contact. So that

772
00:41:38,880 --> 00:41:42,320
Speaker 3: you're right, there is a gray area there, and sometimes

773
00:41:42,320 --> 00:41:46,120
Speaker 3: the officials will miss it because it comes fast. But

774
00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:48,719
Speaker 3: technically speaking, you're correct. If the guy doesn't have the

775
00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:52,319
Speaker 3: ball until he's already he's falling on the ground and

776
00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:55,080
Speaker 3: nobody touches him, he should be able to get up.

777
00:41:54,960 --> 00:41:58,239
Speaker 2: And can't be contact. If you don't have possession of.

778
00:41:58,160 --> 00:42:01,799
Speaker 3: The ball, the problem is they blow the plate dead.

779
00:42:02,920 --> 00:42:05,600
Speaker 3: You're done anyway, so.

780
00:42:06,840 --> 00:42:08,600
Speaker 2: And I wonder if that was a factor in that

781
00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:11,880
Speaker 2: decision too. Gotta take a break here, but more of

Speaker 2: at eight oh three oh five fifty, which is where

792
00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:55,719
Speaker 2: we go now and to Tom on the west side,

793
00:42:55,719 --> 00:42:58,520
Speaker 2: what do you have for us? Tom?

794
00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:03,200
Speaker 8: Hey, guys, I wish you were on three hours every day, Okay.

795
00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:06,240
Speaker 2: Just like the old days, yea, We will be tomorrow.

796
00:43:07,680 --> 00:43:10,880
Speaker 8: Yeah, but I'll give you Saturday off because you got

797
00:43:10,920 --> 00:43:11,920
Speaker 8: a prefer Sunday.

798
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:14,160
Speaker 2: Okay, appreciate that time.

799
00:43:14,840 --> 00:43:20,200
Speaker 8: Well Bill checks that no days off. Yeah yeah, I'll

800
00:43:20,280 --> 00:43:24,080
Speaker 8: drop my original question and I'll answer your question. I'm

801
00:43:24,120 --> 00:43:29,279
Speaker 8: gonna say it's Bobby McDermott and Bean because Bobby is

802
00:43:29,360 --> 00:43:34,840
Speaker 8: coaching up the team. McDermott is helping Bobby, and Bean

803
00:43:34,960 --> 00:43:38,600
Speaker 8: is bringing in the guys that are the repair replacement players.

804
00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:42,480
Speaker 8: They started off slow. It's the defense. It's mainly the

805
00:43:42,520 --> 00:43:47,040
Speaker 8: defense because they started out slow against the Cardinals, but

806
00:43:47,200 --> 00:43:50,759
Speaker 8: by the second half, they made the adjustments and they

807
00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:55,360
Speaker 8: pretty much shut him down. And jeez, Miami could hardly

808
00:43:55,400 --> 00:43:59,000
Speaker 8: do anything against Buffalo and they knocked two out again.

809
00:43:59,520 --> 00:44:02,600
Speaker 8: But it brings me to my original Well, I want

810
00:44:02,600 --> 00:44:05,759
Speaker 8: to say James Cook I thought would be my off

811
00:44:05,760 --> 00:44:10,439
Speaker 8: thudsive player of the Week until Kamara happened. And why

812
00:44:10,440 --> 00:44:13,120
Speaker 8: do they call him JIMBO? I thought that was reserved

813
00:44:13,160 --> 00:44:17,120
Speaker 8: for Jim Kelly because don't they retire nicknames like they

814
00:44:17,160 --> 00:44:21,160
Speaker 8: do jerseys. But as far as Tua, if he were

815
00:44:21,200 --> 00:44:24,040
Speaker 8: to retire or get injured again this year and then

816
00:44:24,160 --> 00:44:27,280
Speaker 8: decide to retire, what does that do to the Miami

817
00:44:27,400 --> 00:44:31,080
Speaker 8: salary cap. Do they This is my original question, Yeah,

818
00:44:31,360 --> 00:44:34,080
Speaker 8: where they? Would they have to have an original would

819
00:44:34,080 --> 00:44:37,399
Speaker 8: they have to have an injury settlement? Or would he

820
00:44:37,520 --> 00:44:39,720
Speaker 8: walk away with all the guaranteed money?

821
00:44:40,320 --> 00:44:44,560
Speaker 3: Well, all right, first things first, there's no copyright on

822
00:44:44,760 --> 00:44:47,000
Speaker 3: Jimbo and we didn't.

823
00:44:46,800 --> 00:44:49,359
Speaker 2: Josh calls him that. Yeah, just to try to get

824
00:44:49,360 --> 00:44:50,120
Speaker 2: a little rise.

825
00:44:49,960 --> 00:44:55,359
Speaker 3: At right anyway. Yeah, but you're right, Bobby McDermott and

826
00:44:56,120 --> 00:44:58,480
Speaker 3: Bean have put together a good team and they're they're

827
00:44:58,480 --> 00:45:01,000
Speaker 3: playing like it and their defense take us half a

828
00:45:01,040 --> 00:45:04,560
Speaker 3: minute to get itsself on its feet under it, but

829
00:45:04,640 --> 00:45:07,160
Speaker 3: they seem to be cruising along. Well, that doesn't mean

830
00:45:07,239 --> 00:45:09,880
Speaker 3: this week's not going to be an incredible challenge. The

831
00:45:09,920 --> 00:45:15,560
Speaker 3: Tua stuff when he signed guaranteed at signing was ninety

832
00:45:15,560 --> 00:45:19,800
Speaker 3: three million, one hundred and seventy one thousand guaranteed at signing. Now,

833
00:45:19,920 --> 00:45:24,720
Speaker 3: the big thing for Tua comes in March March twelfth

834
00:45:24,719 --> 00:45:28,960
Speaker 3: through the fourteenth of twenty twenty five. So no matter

835
00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:32,759
Speaker 3: what happens, Tua gets ninety three thousand, one hundred and

836
00:45:32,840 --> 00:45:35,400
Speaker 3: seventy three million, ninety three million, one hundred and seventy

837
00:45:35,400 --> 00:45:36,440
Speaker 3: one thousand.

838
00:45:36,360 --> 00:45:38,440
Speaker 2: Because that's what got put in his pocket when he signed.

839
00:45:38,480 --> 00:45:44,000
Speaker 3: That's right, But on March twelfth through the fourteenth. Actually

840
00:45:44,040 --> 00:45:47,839
Speaker 3: it's March fourteenth as the deadline twenty twenty five.

841
00:45:48,120 --> 00:45:49,920
Speaker 2: Twenty five million dollar option bonus.

842
00:45:50,040 --> 00:45:54,200
Speaker 3: It's a twenty five million dollar option bonus, and the

843
00:45:54,239 --> 00:45:59,360
Speaker 3: fifty four million dollars of compensation gets fully guaranteed for

844
00:45:59,400 --> 00:46:03,959
Speaker 3: the twenty two twenty five campaign well twenty twenty six, six,

845
00:46:04,080 --> 00:46:04,799
Speaker 3: twenty twenty six.

846
00:46:04,960 --> 00:46:07,799
Speaker 2: Fifty four million dollars in twenty twenty six becomes fully

847
00:46:07,880 --> 00:46:10,279
Speaker 2: guaranteed andy March fourteenth next year.

848
00:46:10,360 --> 00:46:12,880
Speaker 3: So March fourteenth two is going to get another seventy

849
00:46:12,960 --> 00:46:16,200
Speaker 3: nine million guaranteed. He already has ninety three million guaranteed.

850
00:46:17,640 --> 00:46:18,920
Speaker 2: So we'll see if we get there.

851
00:46:18,960 --> 00:46:21,680
Speaker 3: We'll see, if we get there he gets he's ninety

852
00:46:21,680 --> 00:46:25,360
Speaker 3: three million in his pocket now and if he okay,

853
00:46:25,840 --> 00:46:32,000
Speaker 3: so if he gets cut, let me just see hold on,

854
00:46:32,080 --> 00:46:32,640
Speaker 3: let me let.

855
00:46:32,600 --> 00:46:34,879
Speaker 2: Me just ninety three million is the dead cap?

856
00:46:35,040 --> 00:46:38,560
Speaker 3: Yes? Uh, here it is cap breakdown here it is

857
00:46:39,400 --> 00:46:45,240
Speaker 3: the cap hit okay in twenty twenty starts in twenty

858
00:46:45,280 --> 00:46:47,960
Speaker 3: twenty six. If it starts in twenty twenty six.

859
00:46:48,040 --> 00:46:51,400
Speaker 2: Twenty twenty six nine let's see forty.

860
00:46:51,120 --> 00:46:54,840
Speaker 3: Five dead His dead cap is ninety three million this year,

861
00:46:55,080 --> 00:46:59,320
Speaker 3: this year, eighty three million, next year, forty five million

862
00:46:59,320 --> 00:47:03,760
Speaker 3: and twenty six. Yeah, thirty one million, twenty seven, eighteen million,

863
00:47:03,760 --> 00:47:04,439
Speaker 3: and twenty eight.

864
00:47:04,560 --> 00:47:06,440
Speaker 2: Now you know why he has no plans to retire.

865
00:47:06,480 --> 00:47:07,600
Speaker 2: He would cripple their cap.

866
00:47:08,080 --> 00:47:10,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're gonna Yeah.

867
00:47:10,440 --> 00:47:12,880
Speaker 2: Let's go to Jim in South Buffalo next. What's up, Jim?

868
00:47:14,200 --> 00:47:15,080
Speaker 9: Yes, how are you doing?

869
00:47:15,120 --> 00:47:15,279
Speaker 8: Good?

870
00:47:15,360 --> 00:47:23,040
Speaker 9: Afternoon? I want to talk about the subject is a

871
00:47:23,120 --> 00:47:28,560
Speaker 9: Buffalo Bill's defense has been outstanding since the second half

872
00:47:28,600 --> 00:47:33,200
Speaker 9: of the first game, and they're balanced on offense, and

873
00:47:33,280 --> 00:47:36,399
Speaker 9: so I think that is why mainly we have two

874
00:47:36,480 --> 00:47:39,000
Speaker 9: no start, and I think that's why we'll get to

875
00:47:39,040 --> 00:47:39,680
Speaker 9: win next week.

876
00:47:40,719 --> 00:47:44,200
Speaker 2: All right, fair enough, Jim, I can't disagree with you.

877
00:47:44,280 --> 00:47:47,200
Speaker 2: I think the run game has been productive. I think

878
00:47:47,480 --> 00:47:51,239
Speaker 2: what we saw from Joe Brady's play calling at the

879
00:47:51,360 --> 00:47:53,200
Speaker 2: end of last year when the run game kind of

880
00:47:53,239 --> 00:47:57,920
Speaker 2: took over and itcounted for fifty two percent of the plays.

881
00:47:58,600 --> 00:48:01,160
Speaker 2: I haven't looked. I don't think it's that high this year.

882
00:48:01,680 --> 00:48:04,320
Speaker 2: But they didn't really need Josh to do much of

883
00:48:04,360 --> 00:48:08,240
Speaker 2: anything last Thursday. That was doing part to the fact

884
00:48:08,239 --> 00:48:10,160
Speaker 2: that they had a lot of short fields to work with.

885
00:48:10,360 --> 00:48:14,799
Speaker 2: Four of their ten possessions started in Miami territory, so

886
00:48:14,840 --> 00:48:16,640
Speaker 2: you don't need to throw the ball a whole lot

887
00:48:16,640 --> 00:48:19,040
Speaker 2: when you only have thirty three yards to cover. Just

888
00:48:19,400 --> 00:48:21,279
Speaker 2: try to run it, get it close to the red zone,

889
00:48:21,280 --> 00:48:23,560
Speaker 2: and then punch it in. And for the most part,

890
00:48:23,600 --> 00:48:28,040
Speaker 2: they did that. So that's why Josh had a pedestrian day.

891
00:48:28,120 --> 00:48:30,799
Speaker 2: It was not too much different from what he saw

892
00:48:30,840 --> 00:48:33,720
Speaker 2: against Dallas. What he said after the game, I felt

893
00:48:33,719 --> 00:48:35,840
Speaker 2: like I got an a on the on the project

894
00:48:35,840 --> 00:48:36,720
Speaker 2: that didn't do anything.

895
00:48:36,920 --> 00:48:39,600
Speaker 3: That's right, And you're right, the Bills defense has played

896
00:48:39,640 --> 00:48:42,600
Speaker 3: out standingly so far. But let's face it. I mean

897
00:48:43,120 --> 00:48:46,680
Speaker 3: now they kind of they cobbled it together with personnel.

898
00:48:46,719 --> 00:48:49,839
Speaker 3: They're gonna have to make some roster moves if if

899
00:48:49,840 --> 00:48:51,840
Speaker 3: this can, if the things continue the way they are,

900
00:48:54,360 --> 00:48:56,480
Speaker 3: and they got to keep it going, and we know

901
00:48:56,560 --> 00:48:59,600
Speaker 3: this this thing could evaporate quickly. You got to play

902
00:48:59,640 --> 00:49:02,680
Speaker 3: well every single week. Last week doesn't help you this week.

903
00:49:04,040 --> 00:49:07,279
Speaker 3: And the Bills offensive balance, You're right, I think that

904
00:49:07,360 --> 00:49:12,560
Speaker 3: has been the most encouraging thing for me because I

905
00:49:12,600 --> 00:49:16,520
Speaker 3: don't feel like they've even tapped in to everything their

906
00:49:16,520 --> 00:49:21,760
Speaker 3: offense can do, particularly in the throwing game. Curtis Samuel,

907
00:49:22,880 --> 00:49:27,760
Speaker 3: I mean, Khalil Shakir has made some incredibly clutch conversions

908
00:49:28,280 --> 00:49:28,840
Speaker 3: from the slot.

909
00:49:28,920 --> 00:49:30,680
Speaker 2: Kaid was a bigger factor last week.

910
00:49:30,920 --> 00:49:33,840
Speaker 3: Kinkaid emerged a little bit this last week, but Keon

911
00:49:33,960 --> 00:49:35,880
Speaker 3: Coleman and Curtis Samuel.

912
00:49:35,880 --> 00:49:40,120
Speaker 2: Coleman target have been largely unneeded. I mean there were

913
00:49:40,200 --> 00:49:40,600
Speaker 2: last week.

914
00:49:40,680 --> 00:49:43,800
Speaker 3: You're scoring thirty plus points a game. Nobody's complaining.

915
00:49:43,880 --> 00:49:46,040
Speaker 2: I mean Coleman was four for fifty one in Week one,

916
00:49:46,600 --> 00:49:50,400
Speaker 2: made the big play down the sideline. So last week, yes,

917
00:49:50,680 --> 00:49:54,520
Speaker 2: not needed. Valdez Scanling not needed. So they have to

918
00:49:54,520 --> 00:49:57,600
Speaker 2: stretch the field. Yeah, they were in Miami's half of

919
00:49:57,640 --> 00:49:59,600
Speaker 2: the field four out of their ten possessions.

920
00:49:59,680 --> 00:50:01,680
Speaker 3: Right, So so that'll be a something that'll be something

921
00:50:01,680 --> 00:50:04,279
Speaker 3: to watch for, you know, it is the deep ball,

922
00:50:04,320 --> 00:50:06,799
Speaker 3: maybe snapping off some big plays for this offense once

923
00:50:06,840 --> 00:50:09,600
Speaker 3: in a while. Certainly, a forty nine yard I think

924
00:50:09,600 --> 00:50:13,719
Speaker 3: a forty whatever forty yard touchdown run by yea forty

925
00:50:13,800 --> 00:50:16,400
Speaker 3: nine yard touchdown run by James Cook certainly counts as

926
00:50:16,400 --> 00:50:19,560
Speaker 3: a big play, of course. And then the scramble by

927
00:50:19,640 --> 00:50:21,920
Speaker 3: Josh down to Ty Johnson's at the one yard line

928
00:50:21,960 --> 00:50:24,640
Speaker 3: of thirty three yard Those are big plays, but not

929
00:50:24,760 --> 00:50:27,920
Speaker 3: drawn up to be big plays. They're drawn up to be,

930
00:50:27,960 --> 00:50:28,200
Speaker 3: you know.

931
00:50:28,560 --> 00:50:31,920
Speaker 2: An off script play, right Ty Johnson for And of course.

932
00:50:31,719 --> 00:50:34,840
Speaker 3: Every run play you know, if you block it up

933
00:50:34,880 --> 00:50:37,440
Speaker 3: like theoretically could go that, but you never expect it.

934
00:50:38,320 --> 00:50:40,760
Speaker 3: So I think the deep ball is something they haven't

935
00:50:40,760 --> 00:50:44,279
Speaker 3: even asked of yet. Save the one throw down the

936
00:50:44,320 --> 00:50:47,719
Speaker 3: sideline to Keon Coleman against Arizona, they have not even

937
00:50:47,760 --> 00:50:50,319
Speaker 3: tapped into anything that their offense is capable of doing.

938
00:50:50,360 --> 00:50:54,279
Speaker 3: This offense, and I'm so I'm really intrigued about what

939
00:50:54,400 --> 00:50:56,600
Speaker 3: they have left under the hood and maybe we'll see

940
00:50:56,640 --> 00:50:57,840
Speaker 3: some of it against the Jaguars.

941
00:50:58,360 --> 00:51:00,640
Speaker 2: Break time for us here as we are at the

942
00:51:00,680 --> 00:51:03,040
Speaker 2: top of the hour, but kicking off our number two

943
00:51:03,040 --> 00:51:05,160
Speaker 2: with us will be my broadcast partner Eric Would, will

944
00:51:05,200 --> 00:51:07,960
Speaker 2: get his thoughts on the Thursday night game and what

945
00:51:08,160 --> 00:51:11,440
Speaker 2: to look forward to a week from tonight when the

946
00:51:11,440 --> 00:51:14,200
Speaker 2: Bills take on the Jaguars at high Mark Stadium for

947
00:51:14,440 --> 00:51:17,640
Speaker 2: Monday Night Football. Eric Would coming up next here on

948
00:51:17,640 --> 00:51:19,160
Speaker 2: One Bill's Live presented by co Lot of Health.

949
00:51:19,200 --> 00:52:00,960
Speaker 10: It's Buffalo Bills Radio.

950
00:52:03,920 --> 00:52:08,560
Speaker 1: These one, Bill's Live presented by Calida Health.

951
00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:11,120
Speaker 2: All right, here we are our number two on a Monday,

952
00:52:11,200 --> 00:52:14,040
Speaker 2: Buffalo Football Monday, and joining us now is a guy

953
00:52:14,040 --> 00:52:17,360
Speaker 2: wi will join us most Mondays after Bill's games. That

954
00:52:17,400 --> 00:52:19,520
Speaker 2: won't be the case next week with the Bill's playing

955
00:52:19,560 --> 00:52:25,000
Speaker 2: on Monday. But it's Bill's radio color analyst and co host.

956
00:52:25,320 --> 00:52:27,040
Speaker 2: I always say this. I say he's a co host

957
00:52:27,040 --> 00:52:29,680
Speaker 2: because he's our co host on the broadcast, host of

958
00:52:29,680 --> 00:52:32,160
Speaker 2: the Centered on Buffalo podcast. It's Eric Wood joining us.

959
00:52:32,600 --> 00:52:35,600
Speaker 2: And Eric were a few days removed from the victory

960
00:52:35,800 --> 00:52:38,640
Speaker 2: over the Dolphins. But if you had to pick, like

961
00:52:39,680 --> 00:52:44,400
Speaker 2: the high point of the performance, what would win? What

962
00:52:44,400 --> 00:52:47,520
Speaker 2: would be at the top of the list? I guess I.

963
00:52:47,440 --> 00:52:50,160
Speaker 11: Mean the high point. I'll just say the defense in general,

964
00:52:50,160 --> 00:52:52,520
Speaker 11: and you can go across really all three levels of

965
00:52:52,560 --> 00:52:56,479
Speaker 11: the defense and find individuals that you'd love to make

966
00:52:56,520 --> 00:52:59,680
Speaker 11: the high point of it. Second week, Gonrelle will start

967
00:52:59,719 --> 00:53:01,400
Speaker 11: up for second week in a row. We've seen this

968
00:53:01,520 --> 00:53:03,520
Speaker 11: pass rush show up. I thought they did a great

969
00:53:03,600 --> 00:53:06,799
Speaker 11: job against the run, and while the rushing numbers for

970
00:53:06,960 --> 00:53:10,279
Speaker 11: Miami are a touch inflated, there was some runs late

971
00:53:10,360 --> 00:53:11,920
Speaker 11: in the game. The games out of hand and then

972
00:53:11,960 --> 00:53:14,880
Speaker 11: also some players that got popped against him. But throughout

973
00:53:14,880 --> 00:53:18,279
Speaker 11: this game, Sean McDermott refused to load that box up

974
00:53:18,320 --> 00:53:20,840
Speaker 11: to start then stop the run. They simply said, look,

975
00:53:21,320 --> 00:53:24,359
Speaker 11: we're gonna give up some runs just this game. We're

976
00:53:24,360 --> 00:53:26,440
Speaker 11: gonna give up some rushing yards and that's okay. We're

977
00:53:26,440 --> 00:53:28,360
Speaker 11: gonna make them stay patient throughout the game. And I

978
00:53:28,360 --> 00:53:30,200
Speaker 11: don't think they can beat us like that. And it

979
00:53:30,200 --> 00:53:32,319
Speaker 11: paid off well. When you only keep six guys in

980
00:53:32,360 --> 00:53:34,160
Speaker 11: the box and you got a Miami team that's got

981
00:53:34,160 --> 00:53:36,680
Speaker 11: a fullback on the field or multiple tight ends, those

982
00:53:36,719 --> 00:53:38,279
Speaker 11: guys up front have to do a great job and

983
00:53:38,320 --> 00:53:40,960
Speaker 11: I thought they did. And then the pass rush shows up.

984
00:53:41,040 --> 00:53:44,000
Speaker 11: Von Miller gets a sack again and they were able

985
00:53:44,040 --> 00:53:48,200
Speaker 11: to put consistent pressure on Tua at Oliver with maybe

986
00:53:48,600 --> 00:53:51,440
Speaker 11: maybe the play of the night when you consider the

987
00:53:51,480 --> 00:53:54,480
Speaker 11: situation at the time. It's a seventeen to seven game

988
00:53:54,800 --> 00:53:57,799
Speaker 11: and he has the sack on Tua, which we were

989
00:53:57,800 --> 00:54:00,440
Speaker 11: talking in the booth. I couldn't believe that Miami random

990
00:54:00,480 --> 00:54:03,480
Speaker 11: empty set there to let the defense line just completely

991
00:54:03,520 --> 00:54:06,120
Speaker 11: pin their ears back on fourth and two, But that's

992
00:54:06,160 --> 00:54:08,640
Speaker 11: what they chose to do there. And Ed Oliver makes

993
00:54:08,680 --> 00:54:11,719
Speaker 11: them pay at the second level of defense. Obviously, we

994
00:54:11,800 --> 00:54:14,920
Speaker 11: saw Terrel Bernard go out with the peck injury. I

995
00:54:15,000 --> 00:54:17,719
Speaker 11: guess it's somewhat good news. It's a strain and he's

996
00:54:17,760 --> 00:54:20,880
Speaker 11: expected to maybe miss four weeks a month. But I

997
00:54:20,920 --> 00:54:24,920
Speaker 11: thought Bayle Inspector played well, Dorian Williams played well in there,

998
00:54:25,760 --> 00:54:28,400
Speaker 11: and then cam Lewis, I'll just consider him kind of

999
00:54:28,440 --> 00:54:31,560
Speaker 11: at that second level of the defense as well, continues

1000
00:54:31,600 --> 00:54:34,759
Speaker 11: to impress filling in for the injured Arren Johnson. And

1001
00:54:34,800 --> 00:54:37,920
Speaker 11: then on the back end, they hold this explosive Miami

1002
00:54:37,960 --> 00:54:40,560
Speaker 11: team to no explosive down the field. They make him

1003
00:54:40,640 --> 00:54:44,120
Speaker 11: pay with three turnovers in this game, and we see

1004
00:54:44,160 --> 00:54:47,400
Speaker 11: JaMarcus Ingram step up again this week. Those guys on

1005
00:54:47,440 --> 00:54:51,640
Speaker 11: the outside in Benford and Russell Douglas, not only were

1006
00:54:51,680 --> 00:54:54,640
Speaker 11: they great against the pass keeping Waddell and he'll both

1007
00:54:54,640 --> 00:54:58,319
Speaker 11: in check, they both made multiple run stops that are

1008
00:54:58,440 --> 00:55:00,560
Speaker 11: huge in this Sean McDermott defense. You have to be

1009
00:55:00,560 --> 00:55:02,200
Speaker 11: able to tackle as the corner. We talk about it

1010
00:55:02,239 --> 00:55:04,520
Speaker 11: all the time and a Sean McDermott defense, and those

1011
00:55:04,760 --> 00:55:08,120
Speaker 11: both those guys are great at the point of attack,

1012
00:55:08,440 --> 00:55:11,920
Speaker 11: right at that tackle point, setting that edge of that defense,

1013
00:55:11,960 --> 00:55:14,880
Speaker 11: and just overall is an incredible knight by the defense.

1014
00:55:14,960 --> 00:55:16,960
Speaker 11: If the offense was pressed, I think they could have

1015
00:55:17,400 --> 00:55:19,440
Speaker 11: and would have been able to move the ball up

1016
00:55:19,480 --> 00:55:20,080
Speaker 11: and down the field.

1017
00:55:20,120 --> 00:55:22,560
Speaker 12: They just didn't have to really take any chances.

1018
00:55:23,400 --> 00:55:25,640
Speaker 11: After maybe the first quarter and a half of this game,

1019
00:55:25,920 --> 00:55:28,440
Speaker 11: they break up the long run. To Cook, I loved

1020
00:55:28,840 --> 00:55:32,080
Speaker 11: the Joe Brady play design on fourth and three, and

1021
00:55:32,160 --> 00:55:34,239
Speaker 11: I'm so glad they called that time out to set

1022
00:55:34,239 --> 00:55:36,239
Speaker 11: that play back up because if they would have rushed that,

1023
00:55:36,880 --> 00:55:38,920
Speaker 11: you know, that's a play you get man to man coverage.

1024
00:55:38,960 --> 00:55:41,359
Speaker 11: That's a play you do not want to rush. You know,

1025
00:55:41,400 --> 00:55:44,560
Speaker 11: you got a touchdown in that situation. And they identified

1026
00:55:44,560 --> 00:55:46,799
Speaker 11: the man and man coverage. They had Samuel go to

1027
00:55:46,800 --> 00:55:49,120
Speaker 11: the right, they have two crossers coming from the left,

1028
00:55:49,360 --> 00:55:51,319
Speaker 11: and just get to walk in touchdown for the first

1029
00:55:51,320 --> 00:55:53,360
Speaker 11: score of the game. To James Cook, I thought it

1030
00:55:53,360 --> 00:55:55,360
Speaker 11: was just a great night all around. You go into

1031
00:55:55,800 --> 00:55:58,920
Speaker 11: you know, a division opponent's house, you've had their number,

1032
00:55:59,200 --> 00:56:01,560
Speaker 11: you're an underdog in this game, and you come out

1033
00:56:01,600 --> 00:56:03,640
Speaker 11: with a thirty one to ten victory. You're feeling pretty

1034
00:56:03,680 --> 00:56:04,640
Speaker 11: good come Friday morning.

1035
00:56:04,719 --> 00:56:06,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I think One of the surprising thing about

1036
00:56:06,680 --> 00:56:09,719
Speaker 3: the whole scenario that has taken place over the first

1037
00:56:09,719 --> 00:56:12,520
Speaker 3: couple of weeks of the season is the defense's ability

1038
00:56:13,440 --> 00:56:15,799
Speaker 3: to plug guys in who a lot of Bills fans

1039
00:56:15,880 --> 00:56:18,120
Speaker 3: they didn't have much much faith in. And then you

1040
00:56:18,200 --> 00:56:20,440
Speaker 3: end up Baalon Spector coming in, a special teams guy

1041
00:56:20,480 --> 00:56:22,879
Speaker 3: coming in and playing middle linebacker, with the green dot

1042
00:56:22,920 --> 00:56:27,520
Speaker 3: in the whole ninety yards and with JaMarcus Ingram and

1043
00:56:28,040 --> 00:56:31,239
Speaker 3: you know, some Taron Johnson's not on the field. Their

1044
00:56:31,320 --> 00:56:36,759
Speaker 3: ability to play at this level against that offense with

1045
00:56:36,880 --> 00:56:39,040
Speaker 3: all those injuries, particularly in the center of the defense,

1046
00:56:39,080 --> 00:56:42,200
Speaker 3: with Milano and Bernard both out, Man, I think that's

1047
00:56:42,280 --> 00:56:43,279
Speaker 3: really surprising.

1048
00:56:45,400 --> 00:56:48,160
Speaker 11: It is surprising, and I think you simply have to

1049
00:56:48,160 --> 00:56:51,600
Speaker 11: give the coaching credit here. Now, yes, you give individuals

1050
00:56:51,640 --> 00:56:53,920
Speaker 11: credit for how they were able to step up and perform,

1051
00:56:54,000 --> 00:56:57,440
Speaker 11: but we've seen this defense deal with injuries over the

1052
00:56:57,480 --> 00:57:01,040
Speaker 11: last you know, five six years. We've seen them have

1053
00:57:01,200 --> 00:57:04,600
Speaker 11: departures like lasts offseason, and this defense has come out.

1054
00:57:04,600 --> 00:57:07,600
Speaker 11: Besides that, you know, slow start against Arizona, they've looked

1055
00:57:07,640 --> 00:57:09,560
Speaker 11: really good this year and they're dealing with a lot

1056
00:57:09,600 --> 00:57:11,200
Speaker 11: of adversity when it comes to injuries.

1057
00:57:11,239 --> 00:57:13,320
Speaker 12: I mean, we were so excited.

1058
00:57:12,920 --> 00:57:16,680
Speaker 11: About this linebacker tanhem of Milano and Bernard to start

1059
00:57:16,680 --> 00:57:19,000
Speaker 11: this season, and now you have both those guys out,

1060
00:57:19,040 --> 00:57:21,440
Speaker 11: and then you're all pro at Nickel out as well,

1061
00:57:21,840 --> 00:57:24,440
Speaker 11: your entire second level of that defense. You have new

1062
00:57:24,480 --> 00:57:29,920
Speaker 11: starters at both safeties, and this defense played incredible against Miami.

1063
00:57:30,120 --> 00:57:31,880
Speaker 11: I think you got to give Sean McDermott a lot

1064
00:57:31,920 --> 00:57:33,960
Speaker 11: of credit here, and you got to give Bobby Babbage

1065
00:57:34,000 --> 00:57:37,840
Speaker 11: credit for, you know, calling a game that allows his

1066
00:57:38,000 --> 00:57:41,280
Speaker 11: players to play fast and play to their strengths. And

1067
00:57:41,920 --> 00:57:45,120
Speaker 11: you know, we've heard all summer about you know, JaMarcus Inger.

1068
00:57:45,160 --> 00:57:48,600
Speaker 11: He's put on weight, finally he's gotten bigger, he's grown

1069
00:57:48,640 --> 00:57:51,280
Speaker 11: into his body's learning the system, and man, he's really

1070
00:57:51,280 --> 00:57:53,920
Speaker 11: impressed through two weeks. Cam Lewis, you know, he's been

1071
00:57:53,960 --> 00:57:56,560
Speaker 11: our versatility, kind of our Swiss Army knife on the

1072
00:57:56,600 --> 00:57:58,440
Speaker 11: back end of that defense, being able to play corner,

1073
00:57:58,480 --> 00:58:01,600
Speaker 11: nickel or safety. It's a lot of safety reps this summer.

1074
00:58:01,600 --> 00:58:04,120
Speaker 11: Then he hops in at nickel when Taron Johnson goes

1075
00:58:04,160 --> 00:58:07,320
Speaker 11: down and plays really well through two weeks. So I'm

1076
00:58:07,360 --> 00:58:11,120
Speaker 11: excited what I've seen from them now. Obviously, you hope

1077
00:58:11,120 --> 00:58:14,200
Speaker 11: that tarn and Bernard can get back quickly, just being

1078
00:58:14,240 --> 00:58:16,200
Speaker 11: two of your better players on your defense, and then

1079
00:58:16,520 --> 00:58:19,320
Speaker 11: we'll see what Mamalana's prospects, you know, are to come

1080
00:58:19,360 --> 00:58:21,760
Speaker 11: back later in the season. But and you feel pretty

1081
00:58:21,760 --> 00:58:23,600
Speaker 11: good about this defense and the way they're able to

1082
00:58:23,720 --> 00:58:24,840
Speaker 11: plug and play at this point.

1083
00:58:25,320 --> 00:58:26,920
Speaker 2: What does it say, because I know we touched on

1084
00:58:26,960 --> 00:58:30,440
Speaker 2: this on the broadcast Eric on Thursday night, what does

1085
00:58:30,480 --> 00:58:34,520
Speaker 2: it say when you know you're only midway through this game,

1086
00:58:34,640 --> 00:58:39,520
Speaker 2: maybe not even and you've got Mike McDaniel dialing up

1087
00:58:40,080 --> 00:58:45,080
Speaker 2: play calls with progressions involving receivers that are like fifth

1088
00:58:45,120 --> 00:58:50,720
Speaker 2: and sixth on Miami's roster. I felt like the early

1089
00:58:50,840 --> 00:58:54,120
Speaker 2: going of that game got Mike McDaniel all out of

1090
00:58:54,160 --> 00:58:55,840
Speaker 2: sorts to the point where he looked like he was

1091
00:58:55,920 --> 00:58:58,160
Speaker 2: chasing ghosts in this game with some of his play calling.

1092
00:58:58,160 --> 00:58:58,760
Speaker 2: What do you make of that?

1093
00:58:59,800 --> 00:59:00,760
Speaker 12: Yeah, it was interesting.

1094
00:59:00,800 --> 00:59:03,600
Speaker 11: So the first interception of the game, which was the

1095
00:59:03,640 --> 00:59:06,280
Speaker 11: first time we noticed that it wasn't Tyreek or Waddell

1096
00:59:06,400 --> 00:59:10,120
Speaker 11: on the target, It was Robbie chosen they you know,

1097
00:59:10,240 --> 00:59:12,600
Speaker 11: they they threw a deep ball down the field to

1098
00:59:12,680 --> 00:59:15,760
Speaker 11: Hill Christian Benford with a nice coverage on the play.

1099
00:59:15,800 --> 00:59:17,960
Speaker 12: Well, then Hills so far down the field.

1100
00:59:17,920 --> 00:59:20,520
Speaker 11: He's gonna get checked out on the play because he

1101
00:59:20,520 --> 00:59:22,800
Speaker 11: can't get back to the huddle. And then you have

1102
00:59:22,880 --> 00:59:25,439
Speaker 11: Waddle jogging to the sideline. I guess maybe short week,

1103
00:59:25,480 --> 00:59:27,800
Speaker 11: he's tired. So you have both of their, you know,

1104
00:59:27,840 --> 00:59:30,000
Speaker 11: two of the most dynamic receivers in all the football

1105
00:59:30,040 --> 00:59:32,280
Speaker 11: not even on the field for their third and long

1106
00:59:32,360 --> 00:59:35,760
Speaker 11: play and you throw an interception. To me to your point,

1107
00:59:35,840 --> 00:59:40,000
Speaker 11: whether that's you know, the short week and guys needed breaks,

1108
00:59:40,160 --> 00:59:42,560
Speaker 11: or it was Mike McDaniel, or maybe you don't call

1109
00:59:42,640 --> 00:59:44,840
Speaker 11: that play on second down and take that shot because

1110
00:59:44,840 --> 00:59:47,720
Speaker 11: now Tyreek Hill's gonna be off the field on third down.

1111
00:59:48,120 --> 00:59:49,760
Speaker 12: But regardless.

1112
00:59:50,640 --> 00:59:53,919
Speaker 11: That, that definitely didn't impress either of us, especially early

1113
00:59:53,960 --> 00:59:54,600
Speaker 11: on in that game.

1114
00:59:54,840 --> 00:59:56,600
Speaker 3: One of the things, let's talk more about this Bill's

1115
00:59:56,600 --> 00:59:59,120
Speaker 3: pass ruts. I think everything kind of centered around the

1116
00:59:59,160 --> 01:00:01,080
Speaker 3: success they had in the back ends kind of centers

1117
01:00:01,120 --> 01:00:03,960
Speaker 3: around it. You know, we saw the aj A Panessa pressure,

1118
01:00:04,640 --> 01:00:07,200
Speaker 3: he loops around Greg Russou. Greg Russou three and a

1119
01:00:07,200 --> 01:00:09,840
Speaker 3: half sacks, three sacks the week before, so you think

1120
01:00:09,880 --> 01:00:12,400
Speaker 3: Miami's gonna chip him gonna do some stuff. So you

1121
01:00:12,480 --> 01:00:15,520
Speaker 3: send that Panesza from the inside around to loop around

1122
01:00:16,280 --> 01:00:19,880
Speaker 3: Rousseau to and that Panessa comes, you know, untouched, a

1123
01:00:20,280 --> 01:00:23,000
Speaker 3: like he just sprints there and you got Vaughn on

1124
01:00:23,040 --> 01:00:25,360
Speaker 3: the other side, who still has that person the and

1125
01:00:25,600 --> 01:00:28,200
Speaker 3: his sack was a speed sack, but the one he

1126
01:00:28,240 --> 01:00:31,080
Speaker 3: had last week was a power was a speed to power.

1127
01:00:32,560 --> 01:00:36,360
Speaker 3: You know, this pass rush, they're the group and knock

1128
01:00:36,440 --> 01:00:38,480
Speaker 3: on Wood and they're the group that seems intact ed

1129
01:00:38,560 --> 01:00:44,000
Speaker 3: Oliver sack. This group hasn't been hit by injury, the

1130
01:00:44,040 --> 01:00:47,960
Speaker 3: injury bug yet and it shows. I mean, this is

1131
01:00:48,000 --> 01:00:50,640
Speaker 3: the kind of personnel the Bills thought they were gonna

1132
01:00:50,640 --> 01:00:53,920
Speaker 3: have all over the field, but the pass rush being

1133
01:00:53,960 --> 01:00:56,520
Speaker 3: the only ones healthy, really have come through and keyed

1134
01:00:56,560 --> 01:00:59,120
Speaker 3: the two defensive performances the way we saw him in

1135
01:00:59,160 --> 01:01:00,000
Speaker 3: the first couple of weeks.

1136
01:01:01,320 --> 01:01:03,680
Speaker 11: Yeah, you're exactly right. And this is usually a conversation

1137
01:01:03,720 --> 01:01:05,560
Speaker 11: we're having later in the season. Okay, maybe the back

1138
01:01:05,640 --> 01:01:07,480
Speaker 11: end of the defense is backed up, so the defensive

1139
01:01:07,480 --> 01:01:10,280
Speaker 11: line has a step up vice versa. Well, we're having

1140
01:01:10,280 --> 01:01:13,560
Speaker 11: it in week two now because of the injuries that

1141
01:01:13,600 --> 01:01:16,120
Speaker 11: we've seen at the second level of the defense. Well,

1142
01:01:16,320 --> 01:01:18,680
Speaker 11: there were so many question marks heading into this season,

1143
01:01:19,040 --> 01:01:22,240
Speaker 11: especially surrounding von Miller, because he got injured two seasons

1144
01:01:22,280 --> 01:01:25,280
Speaker 11: ago and last year he just did not look like himself. Well,

1145
01:01:25,680 --> 01:01:27,240
Speaker 11: was he going to be able to be an effective

1146
01:01:27,240 --> 01:01:30,560
Speaker 11: player on the edge for this Bill's defense? And I

1147
01:01:31,080 --> 01:01:34,200
Speaker 11: think so far the Bills have used him perfectly, limiting

1148
01:01:34,280 --> 01:01:37,240
Speaker 11: his snaps, getting him in the right situation so that

1149
01:01:37,280 --> 01:01:39,680
Speaker 11: he can show off that verse and that bend and

1150
01:01:39,720 --> 01:01:42,440
Speaker 11: then even that power that we saw against Arizona. I

1151
01:01:42,480 --> 01:01:45,800
Speaker 11: mean his sack against Austin Jackson, and Austin Jackson is

1152
01:01:45,800 --> 01:01:48,520
Speaker 11: a former first round draft pick at right tackle for Miami.

1153
01:01:48,760 --> 01:01:52,080
Speaker 11: He just smokes him off the edge to where they

1154
01:01:52,080 --> 01:01:54,160
Speaker 11: don't even have a chance in the backfield. I mean,

1155
01:01:54,480 --> 01:01:57,960
Speaker 11: that was impressive. That was vintage von Miller. And hopefully

1156
01:01:57,960 --> 01:02:00,960
Speaker 11: that's just him getting back to him all off the

1157
01:02:00,960 --> 01:02:04,320
Speaker 11: injury we saw throughout the preseason. In Week one, what

1158
01:02:04,560 --> 01:02:07,560
Speaker 11: gregor so could be this year? At Oliver flashed, you know,

1159
01:02:07,600 --> 01:02:09,760
Speaker 11: the best of his career last year. We see him

1160
01:02:10,120 --> 01:02:13,160
Speaker 11: in this game, and in a game where you're not

1161
01:02:13,280 --> 01:02:16,680
Speaker 11: just simply trying to hem Kyler Murray into the pocket,

1162
01:02:17,240 --> 01:02:20,280
Speaker 11: you're not really worried about Tua in his wheels, so

1163
01:02:20,320 --> 01:02:23,040
Speaker 11: you can make big pass rush moves on the inside,

1164
01:02:23,080 --> 01:02:25,800
Speaker 11: and we saw it from at Oliver and yeah, so

1165
01:02:25,840 --> 01:02:29,800
Speaker 11: this this, this Bill's defensive front so far has has

1166
01:02:29,880 --> 01:02:30,840
Speaker 11: been really impressive.

1167
01:02:31,640 --> 01:02:34,080
Speaker 2: And then with respect to the coaching staff, Eric and

1168
01:02:34,440 --> 01:02:36,520
Speaker 2: I had mentioned this to Steve even before we came

1169
01:02:36,560 --> 01:02:40,680
Speaker 2: on the air today. But you look around the league

1170
01:02:40,720 --> 01:02:45,360
Speaker 2: at teams that have changed coordinators or lost coordinators. Whether

1171
01:02:45,440 --> 01:02:47,479
Speaker 2: it's the Dolphins themselves who are now on their third

1172
01:02:47,480 --> 01:02:51,080
Speaker 2: coordinator in three years, the Eagles who missed the playoffs

1173
01:02:51,120 --> 01:02:53,880
Speaker 2: last year after losing both of their coordinators and not

1174
01:02:53,920 --> 01:02:56,800
Speaker 2: being able to maintain their level of success and continuity,

1175
01:02:57,640 --> 01:03:00,680
Speaker 2: or you know, name your team around the league. Baltimore

1176
01:03:00,720 --> 01:03:03,680
Speaker 2: now owing two out of the shoot after losing Mike McDonald,

1177
01:03:03,720 --> 01:03:06,160
Speaker 2: who became the head coach in Seattle. The Bills have

1178
01:03:06,240 --> 01:03:09,040
Speaker 2: changed coordinators just as much as those other teams, and

1179
01:03:09,120 --> 01:03:13,440
Speaker 2: yet the level of play and performance has been relatively sustained.

1180
01:03:13,520 --> 01:03:15,360
Speaker 2: What does that say about Sean McDermott.

1181
01:03:16,560 --> 01:03:19,040
Speaker 11: It says a lot about Sean, his leadership, his day

1182
01:03:19,080 --> 01:03:22,640
Speaker 11: to day consistency, the fact that the defensive scheme was his.

1183
01:03:22,760 --> 01:03:24,840
Speaker 11: It makes it a lot easier to go from, you know,

1184
01:03:24,960 --> 01:03:27,280
Speaker 11: Leslie Frasier to Sean McDermott call in the place to

1185
01:03:27,320 --> 01:03:30,440
Speaker 11: a Bobby Babbage because you're drafting for the same personnel.

1186
01:03:30,520 --> 01:03:32,880
Speaker 11: The guys are going to have the same terminology for

1187
01:03:32,920 --> 01:03:35,920
Speaker 11: the most part. So it says a lot about Sean

1188
01:03:36,040 --> 01:03:38,959
Speaker 11: and what he the systems that he put in place

1189
01:03:39,000 --> 01:03:41,360
Speaker 11: from the jump, and then also the guys they brought

1190
01:03:41,360 --> 01:03:43,360
Speaker 11: into the building to be able to adapt to each

1191
01:03:43,400 --> 01:03:46,240
Speaker 11: of those new coordinators. And then on the offensive side

1192
01:03:46,240 --> 01:03:49,160
Speaker 11: of the football, I credit Sean McDermott there too, just

1193
01:03:49,320 --> 01:03:51,520
Speaker 11: understanding last year that they probably weren't going to get

1194
01:03:51,520 --> 01:03:54,120
Speaker 11: to where they wanted to get to offensively with Ken Dorsey.

1195
01:03:54,160 --> 01:03:55,920
Speaker 12: So it makes the tough decision.

1196
01:03:55,960 --> 01:03:58,840
Speaker 11: You know, it's not easy firing coordinators, coaches that have

1197
01:03:58,880 --> 01:04:00,680
Speaker 11: been around you for a long time time when you

1198
01:04:00,760 --> 01:04:04,200
Speaker 11: have to cut them loose, especially midyear, that's a tough conversation.

1199
01:04:04,320 --> 01:04:07,560
Speaker 11: But I give Sean mcdermer credit, and seeing that Joe

1200
01:04:07,640 --> 01:04:09,840
Speaker 11: Brady's likely going to be the better answer as our

1201
01:04:09,840 --> 01:04:12,040
Speaker 11: offensive coordinator, let me give him a run for the

1202
01:04:12,040 --> 01:04:14,800
Speaker 11: remainder of this season last year so we can see

1203
01:04:14,800 --> 01:04:15,200
Speaker 11: what this.

1204
01:04:15,480 --> 01:04:16,120
Speaker 12: You know, Joe.

1205
01:04:16,040 --> 01:04:18,360
Speaker 11: Brady offense may look like how he does as a

1206
01:04:18,360 --> 01:04:21,520
Speaker 11: play caller. And then through two weeks of the season

1207
01:04:21,560 --> 01:04:25,160
Speaker 11: so far, we've seen a lot of versatility with this offense. So,

1208
01:04:25,600 --> 01:04:28,200
Speaker 11: you know, I give Sean credit there, even on the

1209
01:04:28,200 --> 01:04:31,480
Speaker 11: offensive side of the ball, being willing to make, you know,

1210
01:04:31,640 --> 01:04:34,120
Speaker 11: tough decisions there. You know, you lose Brian Dave Balls

1211
01:04:34,120 --> 01:04:36,600
Speaker 11: the offensive coordinator, you have so much offensive success. Well,

1212
01:04:36,800 --> 01:04:38,600
Speaker 11: he takes a head coaching job with the Giants. He

1213
01:04:38,680 --> 01:04:41,760
Speaker 11: earned that one. And then where maybe you thought, hey,

1214
01:04:41,760 --> 01:04:43,640
Speaker 11: we're going to keep everything the same, We're gonna bring

1215
01:04:43,640 --> 01:04:46,040
Speaker 11: in Ken Dorris, or we're gonna promote Ken Dorsey and

1216
01:04:46,120 --> 01:04:48,080
Speaker 11: keep a lot of that day ball offense, you know,

1217
01:04:48,240 --> 01:04:50,360
Speaker 11: try and keep this thing running. Well, it didn't work

1218
01:04:50,400 --> 01:04:52,880
Speaker 11: out like they planned. So he made the tough decision

1219
01:04:53,120 --> 01:04:54,440
Speaker 11: and it's paid off with Joe Brady.

1220
01:04:54,480 --> 01:04:57,320
Speaker 3: Now, let's talk a little bit about this. What's next

1221
01:04:57,320 --> 01:04:59,640
Speaker 3: for this Bill's offense. It seems and it feels like

1222
01:04:59,680 --> 01:05:01,479
Speaker 3: they have and tapped into some stuff. I was saying

1223
01:05:01,480 --> 01:05:03,520
Speaker 3: this in the last segment that you know, Keon Coleman

1224
01:05:03,600 --> 01:05:06,400
Speaker 3: got five targets six you know, an average of three

1225
01:05:06,440 --> 01:05:10,160
Speaker 3: targets a game, Curtis Samuel has been uncalled upon. I

1226
01:05:10,160 --> 01:05:13,600
Speaker 3: mean he hasn't even been asked to do much. Keon Coleman,

1227
01:05:14,840 --> 01:05:17,479
Speaker 3: Khalil Shakir has been money. He has been really good

1228
01:05:17,480 --> 01:05:20,640
Speaker 3: in the slot, good run after catch. Ken Kid has

1229
01:05:20,680 --> 01:05:22,920
Speaker 3: showed up and he's also drawn some attention away from

1230
01:05:22,920 --> 01:05:26,360
Speaker 3: the other guys. But the deep ball hasn't been a

1231
01:05:26,400 --> 01:05:30,280
Speaker 3: real part of this offense. What are your thoughts about.

1232
01:05:31,040 --> 01:05:32,760
Speaker 3: You know, this isn't the I mean, they're running the

1233
01:05:32,760 --> 01:05:35,280
Speaker 3: football well and they're doing it, and power to them

1234
01:05:35,280 --> 01:05:38,120
Speaker 3: if they can continue to do that, But this offense

1235
01:05:38,240 --> 01:05:41,360
Speaker 3: doesn't really seem like it's even shifted gears yet.

1236
01:05:42,680 --> 01:05:44,720
Speaker 11: No, I'm with you, and I've been extremely impressed with

1237
01:05:44,720 --> 01:05:47,720
Speaker 11: the offensive line and that's what has allowed them to

1238
01:05:47,800 --> 01:05:50,720
Speaker 11: run the football so effectively. Those five up front are

1239
01:05:50,760 --> 01:05:53,640
Speaker 11: run blocking very well, and then Alec Anderson. I've seen

1240
01:05:53,680 --> 01:05:56,960
Speaker 11: some clips on social media of him just finishing guys

1241
01:05:57,000 --> 01:05:58,920
Speaker 11: over and over to the ground. And when you can

1242
01:05:58,960 --> 01:06:02,400
Speaker 11: bring in a tower like that as your six offensive lineman,

1243
01:06:02,600 --> 01:06:04,320
Speaker 11: that's always a great thing as well. So I think

1244
01:06:04,360 --> 01:06:08,480
Speaker 11: the run game stays and you have to keep utilizing

1245
01:06:08,520 --> 01:06:11,439
Speaker 11: it because it's gonna be effective. That opens up everything else.

1246
01:06:11,680 --> 01:06:14,560
Speaker 11: Will the stat sheet every week look like a you know,

1247
01:06:14,680 --> 01:06:17,440
Speaker 11: a Madden Football game where you're playing with Josh Allen

1248
01:06:17,440 --> 01:06:20,440
Speaker 11: and just lighten up the scoreboard. Maybe not, because you

1249
01:06:20,520 --> 01:06:22,880
Speaker 11: might not need to based upon the run game or

1250
01:06:22,920 --> 01:06:24,720
Speaker 11: how the defense is playing, similar to how it looked

1251
01:06:24,720 --> 01:06:27,560
Speaker 11: against Miami, where Josh doesn't throw for two hundred yards

1252
01:06:27,600 --> 01:06:29,800
Speaker 11: in the game. But all that being said, I think

1253
01:06:29,840 --> 01:06:34,840
Speaker 11: this past game is plenty capable, especially once they need it.

1254
01:06:34,880 --> 01:06:36,760
Speaker 11: And so last game you have Josh, he got his

1255
01:06:36,840 --> 01:06:39,960
Speaker 11: hand dinged up, so you don't want him running and

1256
01:06:40,000 --> 01:06:42,200
Speaker 11: maybe not even getting touched as much, so you rely

1257
01:06:42,280 --> 01:06:43,680
Speaker 11: on the run game heavily.

1258
01:06:43,720 --> 01:06:45,680
Speaker 12: And I think this is a balanced offense.

1259
01:06:46,120 --> 01:06:49,480
Speaker 11: And look, I mean I liked what they did early on,

1260
01:06:49,920 --> 01:06:52,480
Speaker 11: and it's it's small things, but early on in the

1261
01:06:52,520 --> 01:06:55,840
Speaker 11: game they were able to hit those little quick hitters

1262
01:06:55,840 --> 01:06:58,000
Speaker 11: at Dalton Kincaid. He picks up eight, he picks up nine,

1263
01:06:58,000 --> 01:07:00,520
Speaker 11: he picks up ten. You know, when you can give

1264
01:07:00,600 --> 01:07:04,280
Speaker 11: your quarterback just some easy throws like that, just some

1265
01:07:04,360 --> 01:07:07,600
Speaker 11: easy completions to fall into a rhythm where it's not, hey,

1266
01:07:07,680 --> 01:07:10,320
Speaker 11: let's go dial up a rout where guy's got to

1267
01:07:10,360 --> 01:07:12,920
Speaker 11: win one on one or a full field progression that

1268
01:07:13,040 --> 01:07:16,040
Speaker 11: allows Josh to I'm not saying take it easy on

1269
01:07:16,080 --> 01:07:19,240
Speaker 11: those plays, but it's just not as mentally taxing. It's

1270
01:07:19,240 --> 01:07:21,480
Speaker 11: not as much of a grind, and really not even

1271
01:07:21,520 --> 01:07:23,440
Speaker 11: on the whole offense. You have a quick hitter, you

1272
01:07:23,480 --> 01:07:25,919
Speaker 11: get guys out in space. That's a pretty easy rep

1273
01:07:25,960 --> 01:07:28,240
Speaker 11: for the offensive line as well. So I think this

1274
01:07:28,360 --> 01:07:32,800
Speaker 11: is a friendly offense for really all the guys within

1275
01:07:32,840 --> 01:07:34,640
Speaker 11: the unit to operate in.

1276
01:07:35,480 --> 01:07:40,600
Speaker 2: And then looking ahead Eric to the Jacksonville matchup. Jacksonville

1277
01:07:40,600 --> 01:07:42,120
Speaker 2: the last two times has been a bit of a

1278
01:07:42,200 --> 01:07:45,240
Speaker 2: bugaboo for this team, and you know, beat him last

1279
01:07:45,320 --> 01:07:48,920
Speaker 2: year in London twenty five twenty a couple of years earlier,

1280
01:07:48,920 --> 01:07:51,600
Speaker 2: when the Bills are riding high a one win Jacksonville

1281
01:07:51,640 --> 01:07:54,520
Speaker 2: team beats them nine to six during the lost Urban

1282
01:07:54,560 --> 01:07:59,400
Speaker 2: Meyer year and running the ball is difficult against them.

1283
01:07:59,760 --> 01:08:01,880
Speaker 2: So what has worked well for the Bills the first

1284
01:08:01,880 --> 01:08:04,240
Speaker 2: two weeks in terms of the run game for the offense,

1285
01:08:04,800 --> 01:08:07,640
Speaker 2: I mean they're coming into a matchup against a team

1286
01:08:07,680 --> 01:08:10,520
Speaker 2: that's held them to an average of fifty yards rushing

1287
01:08:10,560 --> 01:08:13,720
Speaker 2: each of the last two times. Now, granted they were

1288
01:08:13,720 --> 01:08:16,200
Speaker 2: a much more throwing offense, a few years back, so

1289
01:08:16,439 --> 01:08:18,479
Speaker 2: that's part of it. But I think we can all

1290
01:08:18,560 --> 01:08:21,680
Speaker 2: agree that the defensive front of Jacksonville's defense has been

1291
01:08:21,720 --> 01:08:23,360
Speaker 2: its strength for several years now.

1292
01:08:25,320 --> 01:08:25,519
Speaker 8: Yeah.

1293
01:08:25,520 --> 01:08:28,920
Speaker 11: Absolutely, And so this game you're going in thinking, Okay, well,

1294
01:08:29,280 --> 01:08:30,400
Speaker 11: we still have to test them.

1295
01:08:30,400 --> 01:08:31,599
Speaker 12: We're going to stay balanced.

1296
01:08:31,840 --> 01:08:33,880
Speaker 11: They have a couple of really nice pass rushers on

1297
01:08:33,920 --> 01:08:35,719
Speaker 11: the outside, so you don't want to just get into

1298
01:08:35,760 --> 01:08:36,519
Speaker 11: a pass fest.

1299
01:08:36,560 --> 01:08:38,200
Speaker 12: We've seen, you.

1300
01:08:38,240 --> 01:08:40,840
Speaker 11: Know, how that may work out playing against them in

1301
01:08:40,920 --> 01:08:42,599
Speaker 11: the games that you mentioned, So you're going to want

1302
01:08:42,600 --> 01:08:45,800
Speaker 11: to continue to stay balanced. Jacksonville's coming in at oh

1303
01:08:45,880 --> 01:08:48,240
Speaker 11: and two. They're going to be desperate for a win.

1304
01:08:48,360 --> 01:08:50,479
Speaker 11: This is a team that came in to the season

1305
01:08:50,520 --> 01:08:53,800
Speaker 11: with high expectations. Didn't expect to see them sitting. They

1306
01:08:53,800 --> 01:08:55,840
Speaker 11: didn't expect to see themselves sitting at oh and two.

1307
01:08:55,960 --> 01:08:57,600
Speaker 11: So they're going to come in here, they're going to

1308
01:08:57,640 --> 01:09:00,920
Speaker 11: be fighting like crazy. It's a primetime game. I expect

1309
01:09:00,960 --> 01:09:04,760
Speaker 11: it to be a good matchup. But you know, I'm

1310
01:09:04,800 --> 01:09:08,680
Speaker 11: excited to see. Okay, we're gonna likely see this is

1311
01:09:08,760 --> 01:09:11,200
Speaker 11: likely a closer game than we saw last week, and

1312
01:09:11,240 --> 01:09:13,479
Speaker 11: we're likely going to see, you know, more of the

1313
01:09:13,479 --> 01:09:16,760
Speaker 11: offensive playbook opened up, and I'm excited to see week

1314
01:09:16,760 --> 01:09:18,360
Speaker 11: to week what it looks like. Okay, well, if we

1315
01:09:18,400 --> 01:09:21,160
Speaker 11: can't rely on the run game, whether that's because of

1316
01:09:21,200 --> 01:09:24,200
Speaker 11: their personnel or how the game unfolds, I'm excited to

1317
01:09:24,240 --> 01:09:26,200
Speaker 11: see what this pass game looks like too, because we

1318
01:09:26,280 --> 01:09:29,280
Speaker 11: haven't fully had to rely on it at all through

1319
01:09:29,320 --> 01:09:33,280
Speaker 11: two weeks, except for maybe some spurts against the Cardinals. Okay,

1320
01:09:33,280 --> 01:09:35,599
Speaker 11: what's it look like when we get, like Steve mentioned,

1321
01:09:35,800 --> 01:09:40,200
Speaker 11: Samuel more involved, Pulman more involved. Shakir has been great

1322
01:09:40,240 --> 01:09:42,639
Speaker 11: after the catch. Josh Goo's a perfect five for five

1323
01:09:42,680 --> 01:09:46,439
Speaker 11: thrown to him last week. Kinkaid caught those short ones

1324
01:09:46,520 --> 01:09:49,840
Speaker 11: last week against Miami, but then just one catch against

1325
01:09:49,880 --> 01:09:50,560
Speaker 11: the Cardinals.

1326
01:09:50,800 --> 01:09:52,120
Speaker 12: What's he start to look like?

1327
01:09:52,200 --> 01:09:54,920
Speaker 11: You know, most people projected him right around one hundred

1328
01:09:55,080 --> 01:09:59,519
Speaker 11: catches on the season, obviously far below the pace right now.

1329
01:10:00,000 --> 01:10:02,240
Speaker 11: But does he start to get more involved? And I'm

1330
01:10:02,280 --> 01:10:04,519
Speaker 11: excited to see what all that looks like come byday night.

1331
01:10:04,920 --> 01:10:06,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, and as you see this this game coming on

1332
01:10:06,960 --> 01:10:09,599
Speaker 3: the horizon, you got to know two Jacksonville at oh

1333
01:10:09,720 --> 01:10:15,559
Speaker 3: and two are desperate there. You're gonna get everything they've

1334
01:10:15,600 --> 01:10:18,160
Speaker 3: got in the bucket dumped on your head and you

1335
01:10:18,240 --> 01:10:19,680
Speaker 3: better be ready for it. I know it's gonna be

1336
01:10:19,680 --> 01:10:21,599
Speaker 3: a home Monday night game. I know the crowd's gonna

1337
01:10:21,640 --> 01:10:25,800
Speaker 3: go be going crazy. But this Jacksonville team, you're really

1338
01:10:25,800 --> 01:10:28,479
Speaker 3: gonna see the best of their resolve. Uh, give us

1339
01:10:28,479 --> 01:10:30,800
Speaker 3: an idea of what you think the difference could be

1340
01:10:31,120 --> 01:10:32,560
Speaker 3: for the Jacksonville Jaguars.

1341
01:10:34,479 --> 01:10:36,160
Speaker 11: Yeah, when you're sitting there at oh and two, maybe

1342
01:10:36,200 --> 01:10:38,839
Speaker 11: it's taking a few more chances. Maybe there's some plays

1343
01:10:38,880 --> 01:10:41,519
Speaker 11: that you had, you know, in the playbook, where hey,

1344
01:10:41,520 --> 01:10:43,360
Speaker 11: we might sprinkle these in throughout the year. We know

1345
01:10:43,439 --> 01:10:46,000
Speaker 11: that these are automatic red zone touchdowns, some of what

1346
01:10:46,040 --> 01:10:49,000
Speaker 11: we saw Joe Brady use against the Dolphins, those are

1347
01:10:49,040 --> 01:10:51,639
Speaker 11: all coming out. And look, when it was a sixteen

1348
01:10:51,680 --> 01:10:54,120
Speaker 11: game season, if you started the season oh and two,

1349
01:10:54,160 --> 01:10:56,160
Speaker 11: I believe it was less than a ten percent chance

1350
01:10:56,240 --> 01:10:59,000
Speaker 11: historically to make the playoffs. I'm not sure if adding

1351
01:10:59,000 --> 01:11:01,519
Speaker 11: one more game, excuse the stats, I can't imagine it'd

1352
01:11:01,560 --> 01:11:04,320
Speaker 11: be a whole lot. So you you're back completely against

1353
01:11:04,320 --> 01:11:06,880
Speaker 11: the wall, and you know the guys on the team,

1354
01:11:06,920 --> 01:11:09,160
Speaker 11: they're gonna be hearing it from the media all week.

1355
01:11:09,160 --> 01:11:11,439
Speaker 11: They're gonna come out ticked off, and like you said,

1356
01:11:11,479 --> 01:11:14,080
Speaker 11: I think desperate it's the proper word of this situation.

1357
01:11:14,280 --> 01:11:17,520
Speaker 11: So maybe it's a you know, take a chance on

1358
01:11:17,120 --> 01:11:19,680
Speaker 11: a on a blitz in a situation where maybe you

1359
01:11:19,680 --> 01:11:20,400
Speaker 11: don't do it before.

1360
01:11:20,479 --> 01:11:23,000
Speaker 12: But look, we can't.

1361
01:11:22,760 --> 01:11:25,320
Speaker 11: Fall to zero and three here, or you know, our

1362
01:11:25,400 --> 01:11:27,200
Speaker 11: season is unraveling in a hurry.

1363
01:11:28,080 --> 01:11:30,640
Speaker 2: Eric, Thanks as always, We'll see you up here for

1364
01:11:31,040 --> 01:11:32,040
Speaker 2: Monday Night football.

1365
01:11:34,200 --> 01:11:35,720
Speaker 12: Looking forward to guys have a great week.

1366
01:11:35,760 --> 01:11:39,160
Speaker 2: All right. That's Eric Wood joining us, Bill's radio color analyst,

1367
01:11:39,600 --> 01:11:43,200
Speaker 2: former Pro Bowl center and host of The Center on

1368
01:11:43,240 --> 01:11:45,519
Speaker 2: Buffalo podcast, joining us every week as he does after

1369
01:11:45,560 --> 01:11:49,080
Speaker 2: Bill's games, and uh yeah, we'll catch up with him

1370
01:11:49,080 --> 01:11:51,639
Speaker 2: presumably on Tuesday next week with it being a Monday

1371
01:11:51,680 --> 01:11:56,240
Speaker 2: night game. Uh, we do have to take a break

1372
01:11:56,400 --> 01:12:01,280
Speaker 2: here because coming up next we've got the latest edition

1373
01:12:01,439 --> 01:12:06,240
Speaker 2: of the Maddie Awards after Buffalo's latest victory. But there

1374
01:12:06,320 --> 01:12:10,320
Speaker 2: could be a little bit of a league feel to it.

1375
01:12:10,360 --> 01:12:12,280
Speaker 2: We'll see, but I think there's some awards to hand

1376
01:12:12,320 --> 01:12:15,080
Speaker 2: out to the Bills first and foremost might be a

1377
01:12:15,120 --> 01:12:17,320
Speaker 2: league award at the end. We'll check that when we

1378
01:12:17,400 --> 01:12:20,160
Speaker 2: come back with our colleague Matti glab here on One

1379

1385
01:12:50,920 --> 01:12:55,080
Speaker 2: hand out the Maddie Awards, which are presented by Energy Mark,

1386
01:12:55,439 --> 01:12:59,000
Speaker 2: the official energy supplier to the Buffalo Bills.

1387
01:12:59,240 --> 01:13:02,160
Speaker 13: Good afternoon, Hey guys, happy to be on with you.

1388
01:13:02,320 --> 01:13:05,679
Speaker 13: We've got our you know, our Emmy Awards on here

1389
01:13:05,840 --> 01:13:08,720
Speaker 13: if you're watching on MSG. The Emmys were last night,

1390
01:13:08,800 --> 01:13:13,439
Speaker 13: so yeah, why not bring some Emmys to our end

1391
01:13:13,439 --> 01:13:16,720
Speaker 13: of things? And I was goofing around saying, okay, we

1392
01:13:16,800 --> 01:13:19,000
Speaker 13: got two wins. We have two Emmys on here. Maybe

1393
01:13:19,000 --> 01:13:22,639
Speaker 13: I should add an award for every single win we have.

1394
01:13:23,320 --> 01:13:25,680
Speaker 13: At one point we could have maybe like twelve of

1395
01:13:25,720 --> 01:13:26,880
Speaker 13: these things on the table.

1396
01:13:27,040 --> 01:13:29,639
Speaker 2: We have to check our supplots. We don't have enough.

1397
01:13:29,760 --> 01:13:32,280
Speaker 3: We don't. Let me just say we're on pace for seventeen.

1398
01:13:32,400 --> 01:13:34,680
Speaker 3: So k tasker, let's go.

1399
01:13:36,400 --> 01:13:39,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, So let's begin and this is I think an

1400
01:13:39,400 --> 01:13:43,000
Speaker 2: appropriate award for this week, especially the next man Up award.

1401
01:13:43,080 --> 01:13:47,280
Speaker 13: Next man Up Award. While we hate seeing players go down,

1402
01:13:47,400 --> 01:13:49,559
Speaker 13: we have loved to see what the guys have done

1403
01:13:49,560 --> 01:13:53,200
Speaker 13: with the opportunities. Hopefully we don't have to have many

1404
01:13:53,280 --> 01:13:55,680
Speaker 13: more next men up because I would love for this

1405
01:13:55,720 --> 01:13:58,000
Speaker 13: team to stay healthy for the rest of the season,

1406
01:13:58,400 --> 01:14:00,559
Speaker 13: but they get a nice long break heading into Monday

1407
01:14:00,600 --> 01:14:04,000
Speaker 13: Night football. Next man up though, for the Miami Dolphins

1408
01:14:04,040 --> 01:14:07,840
Speaker 13: game was our linebacker Baylin Inspector. Another starter goes down

1409
01:14:08,280 --> 01:14:11,400
Speaker 13: and another backup successfully fills in. We are on the

1410
01:14:11,439 --> 01:14:14,679
Speaker 13: second straight week of doing this. Baylan was our next

1411
01:14:14,680 --> 01:14:19,120
Speaker 13: man up against the Dolphins. Drell Bernard, our starting middle linebacker,

1412
01:14:19,160 --> 01:14:22,679
Speaker 13: gets hurt in the first quarter and Spector, the third

1413
01:14:22,800 --> 01:14:25,920
Speaker 13: year player and the seventh rounder, jumps in with the

1414
01:14:25,960 --> 01:14:29,439
Speaker 13: green dot to run the defense. Let's not forget how

1415
01:14:29,680 --> 01:14:32,880
Speaker 13: hard it is to do that. It's not like Spector

1416
01:14:33,040 --> 01:14:37,400
Speaker 13: is getting reps throughout practice every single week, every single day,

1417
01:14:37,760 --> 01:14:41,439
Speaker 13: wearing this green dot and hearing the defensive coordinator in

1418
01:14:41,479 --> 01:14:45,800
Speaker 13: your ear. Plus he did this against a team who

1419
01:14:45,840 --> 01:14:48,760
Speaker 13: likes to throw a lot of decoys out there with

1420
01:14:48,840 --> 01:14:51,519
Speaker 13: how they move players along the line of scrimmage. You

1421
01:14:51,520 --> 01:14:53,960
Speaker 13: are the middle linebacker, you're wearing the green dot, You're

1422
01:14:54,000 --> 01:14:56,759
Speaker 13: calling the plays for your defense, and you have things

1423
01:14:56,840 --> 01:14:59,639
Speaker 13: going on right in front of you as the Miami

1424
01:14:59,720 --> 01:15:03,280
Speaker 13: Dolphin are trying to fool you. He ended up tying

1425
01:15:03,360 --> 01:15:06,320
Speaker 13: for a team high ten tackles and also had a TfL.

1426
01:15:06,600 --> 01:15:09,559
Speaker 13: So kudos to Bail Inspector for the job that he did,

1427
01:15:09,920 --> 01:15:14,920
Speaker 13: jumping in for Bernard and having a huge responsibility against

1428
01:15:15,479 --> 01:15:17,720
Speaker 13: the offense that led the NFL last year.

1429
01:15:17,960 --> 01:15:20,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then your next award is too, the actually

1430
01:15:20,960 --> 01:15:23,160
Speaker 3: the celebrity of the night, the Dog Award.

1431
01:15:23,479 --> 01:15:26,200
Speaker 13: The celebrity of the night, the Dog Award. That's going

1432
01:15:26,240 --> 01:15:31,920
Speaker 13: to cornerback JaMarcus Ingram going into Miami's game. Going into

1433
01:15:31,960 --> 01:15:34,840
Speaker 13: this Week two game against Miami, Ingram had just six

1434
01:15:34,920 --> 01:15:38,599
Speaker 13: games of NFL experience under his belt, but that didn't

1435
01:15:38,640 --> 01:15:41,920
Speaker 13: matter because he had a huge impact in this one

1436
01:15:41,960 --> 01:15:45,599
Speaker 13: two interceptions, including one that went for pick six. Ingram

1437
01:15:45,600 --> 01:15:48,840
Speaker 13: played in twenty three snaps at that slot corner role

1438
01:15:49,120 --> 01:15:53,160
Speaker 13: when the Bills rotated into dime. He doesn't usually play

1439
01:15:53,200 --> 01:15:55,439
Speaker 13: in this role, he's done so the last two weeks

1440
01:15:55,680 --> 01:15:59,719
Speaker 13: because of injuries. Ingram was a difference maker to start

1441
01:15:59,720 --> 01:16:02,599
Speaker 13: this and he continued to do so in week two.

1442
01:16:02,680 --> 01:16:03,639
Speaker 2: He had that game.

1443
01:16:03,479 --> 01:16:07,840
Speaker 13: Saving play against the Cardinals in week one, two interceptions

1444
01:16:07,880 --> 01:16:10,519
Speaker 13: in week two. What is next for this guy in

1445
01:16:10,560 --> 01:16:13,519
Speaker 13: week three? He is somebody who's worked so hard for

1446
01:16:13,600 --> 01:16:18,320
Speaker 13: the opportunity. He's earned every little bit of this success

1447
01:16:18,360 --> 01:16:21,360
Speaker 13: that he's gotten. He's an undrafted kid. He made the

1448
01:16:21,400 --> 01:16:24,040
Speaker 13: team off a tryout. He was on the practice squad

1449
01:16:24,120 --> 01:16:26,880
Speaker 13: the last two years and finally made the fifty three

1450
01:16:26,920 --> 01:16:29,640
Speaker 13: man roster this year. And we could see it was

1451
01:16:29,760 --> 01:16:33,719
Speaker 13: trending in that direction during training camp in preseason because

1452
01:16:33,760 --> 01:16:36,720
Speaker 13: of the plays that he was making in the summertime.

1453
01:16:37,240 --> 01:16:39,519
Speaker 2: All right, I think you're taking a page out of

1454
01:16:39,560 --> 01:16:43,240
Speaker 2: the Bear here with this one. The Michelin Star Award.

1455
01:16:43,040 --> 01:16:46,479
Speaker 13: Michelin's Star Award is going to James Cook. We know

1456
01:16:46,600 --> 01:16:50,080
Speaker 13: that James Cook loves to cook, and he was cooking

1457
01:16:50,160 --> 01:16:53,760
Speaker 13: so good against the Miami Dolphins that he earns a

1458
01:16:53,760 --> 01:16:58,720
Speaker 13: Michelin Star. Two rushing touchdowns and one receiving touchdown in

1459
01:16:59,200 --> 01:17:02,880
Speaker 13: the first half. Cook's play was off the charts against

1460
01:17:02,920 --> 01:17:05,840
Speaker 13: Miami and he did not step off the gas. He

1461
01:17:05,920 --> 01:17:08,320
Speaker 13: ties for a record for most touchdowns by a bill

1462
01:17:08,360 --> 01:17:10,759
Speaker 13: in the first half. He had some really nice vision

1463
01:17:10,880 --> 01:17:13,280
Speaker 13: on that forty nine yard rushing touchdown as well, and

1464
01:17:13,320 --> 01:17:16,160
Speaker 13: you got to shout out the offensive line for creating

1465
01:17:16,200 --> 01:17:19,599
Speaker 13: that space for him to initially move through and pick

1466
01:17:19,720 --> 01:17:22,360
Speaker 13: up all that green grass that he saw. I love

1467
01:17:22,400 --> 01:17:25,120
Speaker 13: how they also used him within the five yard line

1468
01:17:26,479 --> 01:17:28,240
Speaker 13: when they handed it off to him for that one

1469
01:17:28,320 --> 01:17:31,559
Speaker 13: yard rushing touchdown. We didn't see Cook used as much

1470
01:17:31,840 --> 01:17:35,080
Speaker 13: in those situations last year. Maybe we're seeing a new

1471
01:17:35,160 --> 01:17:38,639
Speaker 13: part of his game emerge here in Week two.

1472
01:17:39,000 --> 01:17:39,720
Speaker 10: You know, for so.

1473
01:17:39,920 --> 01:17:43,720
Speaker 13: Long, Josh Allen was the guy who scored the rushing touchdowns.

1474
01:17:43,720 --> 01:17:46,040
Speaker 13: He was the guy who would take it himself. Now

1475
01:17:46,080 --> 01:17:50,080
Speaker 13: we're seeing Cook's ability in a second straight season. He

1476
01:17:50,160 --> 01:17:52,720
Speaker 13: had an incredible year last year and he's off to

1477
01:17:52,760 --> 01:17:55,320
Speaker 13: doing the same this year. He takes some heat off

1478
01:17:55,320 --> 01:17:58,920
Speaker 13: of Josh Allen and now it's something that the defenses

1479
01:17:58,960 --> 01:18:01,120
Speaker 13: are really going to have to respect well.

1480
01:18:01,160 --> 01:18:03,960
Speaker 2: And you wonder if Josh's left hand injury kind of

1481
01:18:03,960 --> 01:18:06,439
Speaker 2: took goal line carries for him off the table too.

1482
01:18:06,479 --> 01:18:09,839
Speaker 2: And you mentioned that that James Cook tied the record.

1483
01:18:09,840 --> 01:18:12,479
Speaker 2: The last guy with three first half touchdowns was Thurman

1484
01:18:12,600 --> 01:18:13,760
Speaker 2: Thomas in ninety two.

1485
01:18:13,960 --> 01:18:15,559
Speaker 3: It might be a little bit of this as well.

1486
01:18:15,680 --> 01:18:19,000
Speaker 3: I mean, certainly you know what Josh can do down close,

1487
01:18:19,040 --> 01:18:21,160
Speaker 3: and certainly his left hand has got to be a consideration.

1488
01:18:21,240 --> 01:18:24,519
Speaker 3: But you want to show and prove you've got a

1489
01:18:24,520 --> 01:18:28,120
Speaker 3: lot of stuff down close. Handing it off to James Cook, well, okay,

1490
01:18:28,120 --> 01:18:29,720
Speaker 3: now you're getting him in the end zone. It was

1491
01:18:29,760 --> 01:18:31,840
Speaker 3: a walk in touchdown. All we took a shot. He

1492
01:18:31,920 --> 01:18:34,320
Speaker 3: was two yards in the end zone. It's a walk

1493
01:18:34,320 --> 01:18:38,040
Speaker 3: in touchdown there. And if you prove that you can

1494
01:18:38,120 --> 01:18:40,680
Speaker 3: do that, well, defense does have to honor it. If

1495
01:18:40,680 --> 01:18:42,960
Speaker 3: they honor that and they honor the pass and they

1496
01:18:42,960 --> 01:18:46,800
Speaker 3: own it, Josh becomes a bigger, easier touchdown as well.

1497
01:18:47,200 --> 01:18:51,400
Speaker 3: So the more stuff you can do down there, the

1498
01:18:51,439 --> 01:18:53,920
Speaker 3: harder it is to defend, and the easier it is

1499
01:18:53,960 --> 01:18:56,559
Speaker 3: to score, and the more efficient you become. So the

1500
01:18:56,600 --> 01:18:59,120
Speaker 3: fact that they took Josh off the menu for that

1501
01:18:59,160 --> 01:19:02,439
Speaker 3: game certainly is hands probably a consideration. But man oh man,

1502
01:19:03,520 --> 01:19:06,640
Speaker 3: they're scoring thirty points a game, and they're doing it

1503
01:19:06,880 --> 01:19:10,000
Speaker 3: a lot of different ways. Josh isn't doing it at all.

1504
01:19:10,640 --> 01:19:13,640
Speaker 3: He did it in Arizona. But it's a good It

1505
01:19:13,760 --> 01:19:15,840
Speaker 3: just shows that they're versatile down there.

1506
01:19:16,120 --> 01:19:20,120
Speaker 13: The Mister Aur Award, Mandy, mister Aura is going to

1507
01:19:20,400 --> 01:19:23,960
Speaker 13: our guy von Miller. We are seeing with our own

1508
01:19:24,000 --> 01:19:27,000
Speaker 13: eyes now through two weeks why players kept saying all

1509
01:19:27,040 --> 01:19:31,280
Speaker 13: training camp, von Miller's back, Von Miller's back. Dean Dawkins said,

1510
01:19:31,360 --> 01:19:35,360
Speaker 13: von Miller's aura was back during camp. He's so right.

1511
01:19:35,520 --> 01:19:39,599
Speaker 13: His aura was on display against Miami. That's why he's

1512
01:19:39,840 --> 01:19:43,680
Speaker 13: mister Aura of this week. Four pressures, one sack. He

1513
01:19:43,760 --> 01:19:45,920
Speaker 13: got to the quarterback in under two and a half

1514
01:19:46,080 --> 01:19:50,480
Speaker 13: seconds on every single pressure. According to next Gen Stats,

1515
01:19:50,520 --> 01:19:55,040
Speaker 13: Miller played with power and speed and attitude. A healthy

1516
01:19:55,120 --> 01:19:59,320
Speaker 13: von Miller adds a scary wrinkle to this defense. He

1517
01:19:59,479 --> 01:20:02,120
Speaker 13: ties for number eighteen on the all sack list now

1518
01:20:02,160 --> 01:20:06,000
Speaker 13: with one twenty five and a half. That's a huge number.

1519
01:20:06,040 --> 01:20:08,640
Speaker 13: He's going to continue to work his way up the

1520
01:20:08,680 --> 01:20:11,320
Speaker 13: list because of what we've seen in just two weeks

1521
01:20:11,320 --> 01:20:13,479
Speaker 13: to start the season. He didn't have a sack in

1522
01:20:13,560 --> 01:20:16,200
Speaker 13: all twelve games that he played in last season, and

1523
01:20:16,240 --> 01:20:19,840
Speaker 13: now through two weeks, von Miller has two sacks. The

1524
01:20:19,880 --> 01:20:22,720
Speaker 13: defensive line played a huge role into a tongue of

1525
01:20:22,720 --> 01:20:25,000
Speaker 13: I low as three interceptions because they are the ones

1526
01:20:25,040 --> 01:20:29,200
Speaker 13: who pressured the quarterback and forced the ball out and

1527
01:20:29,240 --> 01:20:32,760
Speaker 13: that's why JaMarcus Ingram and Christian Benford were there to

1528
01:20:32,880 --> 01:20:34,480
Speaker 13: grab those interceptions.

1529
01:20:34,600 --> 01:20:37,040
Speaker 3: I'll say this, after that sack, Von just stood up

1530
01:20:37,200 --> 01:20:40,600
Speaker 3: and just stalked his way off the field. Yeah, you

1531
01:20:40,600 --> 01:20:42,840
Speaker 3: could just it felt great. You know, you could just

1532
01:20:42,960 --> 01:20:44,800
Speaker 3: tell by looking at him that he felt like, man,

1533
01:20:44,840 --> 01:20:47,040
Speaker 3: there it is right there. That's what I'm That's what

1534
01:20:47,080 --> 01:20:48,439
Speaker 3: I feel like doing every time.

1535
01:20:48,520 --> 01:20:51,599
Speaker 2: That now tied with Hall of Hamer Dwight Freeny for

1536
01:20:51,680 --> 01:20:52,760
Speaker 2: eighteenh he is.

1537
01:20:53,520 --> 01:20:56,759
Speaker 3: Yeah, Vaughn seems one hundred percent back. Now it's two weeks.

1538
01:20:57,160 --> 01:20:59,479
Speaker 3: It's a long season and you want him to and

1539
01:20:59,520 --> 01:21:02,320
Speaker 3: need him to stay healthy and stay fresh. And that's

1540
01:21:02,320 --> 01:21:04,240
Speaker 3: a tall order for a guy in his mid thirties.

1541
01:21:05,280 --> 01:21:08,639
Speaker 3: But that's the task now for the Bills training staff,

1542
01:21:08,640 --> 01:21:11,639
Speaker 3: the coaching staff, Vaughn himself, is to keep him at

1543
01:21:11,640 --> 01:21:14,479
Speaker 3: this level going forward for the next four months.

1544
01:21:14,600 --> 01:21:16,439
Speaker 2: Got a mini buye here, so you got to leave

1545
01:21:16,439 --> 01:21:18,599
Speaker 2: his legs will be nice and fresh off, all right.

1546
01:21:18,680 --> 01:21:21,120
Speaker 2: The award he.

1547
01:21:22,640 --> 01:21:27,960
Speaker 13: Sean mcdillon, Sean McDermott, you are the boss. He's the

1548
01:21:27,960 --> 01:21:30,479
Speaker 13: boss for the way that he has been coaching up

1549
01:21:30,600 --> 01:21:34,000
Speaker 13: players and getting the best out of them game after game,

1550
01:21:34,360 --> 01:21:37,439
Speaker 13: year after year. Last year, the Bills were down several

1551
01:21:37,520 --> 01:21:41,160
Speaker 13: starters on defense, They had backups playing meaningful snaps, and

1552
01:21:41,200 --> 01:21:43,519
Speaker 13: the play really didn't fall off. We saw this all

1553
01:21:43,560 --> 01:21:46,639
Speaker 13: the way through playoffs last season. Remember when they called

1554
01:21:46,720 --> 01:21:49,280
Speaker 13: aj Klein basically off of the couch and said, hey,

1555
01:21:49,360 --> 01:21:51,160
Speaker 13: you want to come play for this team, make a

1556
01:21:51,240 --> 01:21:53,280
Speaker 13: run with us at the end of the season into

1557
01:21:53,280 --> 01:21:58,160
Speaker 13: the playoffs. It's incredible to watch how McDermott and his

1558
01:21:58,280 --> 01:22:02,080
Speaker 13: coaches have done so year after year. We were hoping

1559
01:22:02,120 --> 01:22:04,080
Speaker 13: maybe it was just a one year thing, but here

1560
01:22:04,120 --> 01:22:07,160
Speaker 13: we are in the beginning of the twenty twenty four season.

1561
01:22:07,720 --> 01:22:10,439
Speaker 13: No Matt Mulanos starting at your will linebacker spot. No

1562
01:22:10,640 --> 01:22:14,280
Speaker 13: Taron Johnson who starts at nickel cornerback. No Trel Bernard

1563
01:22:14,280 --> 01:22:18,800
Speaker 13: who's starting at middle linebacker against Miami. This is an

1564
01:22:18,840 --> 01:22:23,439
Speaker 13: offense who had the best the best numbers in several

1565
01:22:23,479 --> 01:22:30,280
Speaker 13: statistical categories last season, and backups allowed just ten points

1566
01:22:30,320 --> 01:22:34,360
Speaker 13: to that team on Thursday night. They're also one of

1567
01:22:34,400 --> 01:22:39,000
Speaker 13: the fastest offenses in the NFL. McDermott had two undrafted

1568
01:22:39,040 --> 01:22:42,839
Speaker 13: players and two sixth rounders in the secondary. That limited

1569
01:22:42,880 --> 01:22:47,080
Speaker 13: Tyreek Hill, who led the NFL with oney seven and

1570
01:22:47,120 --> 01:22:50,799
Speaker 13: ninety nine receiving yards last year, to just three catches

1571
01:22:51,040 --> 01:22:54,439
Speaker 13: for twenty four receiving yards. Let that sink in. That

1572
01:22:54,640 --> 01:22:58,160
Speaker 13: is amazing. McDermott and his staff do an incredible job

1573
01:22:58,200 --> 01:23:01,200
Speaker 13: of coaching these guys up, educate them on the defense,

1574
01:23:01,280 --> 01:23:04,000
Speaker 13: making them feel comfortable in it, and then pouring that

1575
01:23:04,160 --> 01:23:07,799
Speaker 13: belief into them so that when their number is called,

1576
01:23:08,400 --> 01:23:12,160
Speaker 13: they succeed. It's been so cool to watch since I've

1577
01:23:12,680 --> 01:23:16,040
Speaker 13: gotten here, since I started working here in twenty nineteen,

1578
01:23:16,080 --> 01:23:18,720
Speaker 13: and we've seen that year after year, and we saw

1579
01:23:18,760 --> 01:23:20,880
Speaker 13: it a lot last season, and we're seeing it a

1580
01:23:20,880 --> 01:23:24,200
Speaker 13: lot already to start this season, all right, and.

1581
01:23:24,120 --> 01:23:29,320
Speaker 2: Then we move from elrefe to one hundred percent.

1582
01:23:29,439 --> 01:23:33,439
Speaker 13: One hundred percent. Khalil Shakir is one hundred percent this season.

1583
01:23:33,560 --> 01:23:36,879
Speaker 13: You know why because he's had eight targets eight catches

1584
01:23:36,920 --> 01:23:40,720
Speaker 13: so far. That means he's caught one hundred percent of

1585
01:23:40,760 --> 01:23:43,400
Speaker 13: his targets. He led the NFL last season and catch

1586
01:23:43,479 --> 01:23:47,679
Speaker 13: rating among wide receivers. We're seeing it again already this year.

1587
01:23:48,120 --> 01:23:51,240
Speaker 13: Shakiir's got great hands and he isn't afraid of a

1588
01:23:51,240 --> 01:23:53,760
Speaker 13: little bit of contact. Some of those eight catches have

1589
01:23:53,840 --> 01:23:56,599
Speaker 13: been in traffic and Shakiro just bounces off the defender

1590
01:23:56,640 --> 01:23:59,719
Speaker 13: to grab a few extra yards like it's no big deal.

1591
01:24:00,479 --> 01:24:03,439
Speaker 13: He's such a solid option for Josh Allen and it's

1592
01:24:03,520 --> 01:24:05,960
Speaker 13: easy to see why Alan trusts him.

1593
01:24:06,280 --> 01:24:11,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's it's something when you don't have many drops.

1594
01:24:11,320 --> 01:24:13,599
Speaker 3: I mean, that's that was his calling card last year

1595
01:24:13,600 --> 01:24:15,040
Speaker 3: when he finally got on the field in the second

1596
01:24:15,080 --> 01:24:18,480
Speaker 3: half of year. He led the league in catch percentages

1597
01:24:18,560 --> 01:24:21,120
Speaker 3: last year. Now there's no doubt he's the worst he

1598
01:24:21,120 --> 01:24:24,439
Speaker 3: can be. Is tied for the lead. And the fact

1599
01:24:24,600 --> 01:24:28,800
Speaker 3: of the matter is now that he's becoming so timely

1600
01:24:30,120 --> 01:24:32,800
Speaker 3: and his run after catch is a huge factor in

1601
01:24:33,040 --> 01:24:36,400
Speaker 3: why he's so good. I'm he won me over. I

1602
01:24:36,439 --> 01:24:38,519
Speaker 3: had my doubt when they drafted him. I had my doubts,

1603
01:24:39,880 --> 01:24:41,720
Speaker 3: and then when he finally got on the field, it's like, Wow,

1604
01:24:41,720 --> 01:24:43,479
Speaker 3: he's better than I thought of. Now I'm like a

1605
01:24:43,479 --> 01:24:47,599
Speaker 3: total fan. So he has really come in and earned

1606
01:24:47,600 --> 01:24:51,120
Speaker 3: his way and and no doubt Josh trusts him. But

1607
01:24:51,240 --> 01:24:54,519
Speaker 3: I think more importantly, Joe Brady trusts him. And it's

1608
01:24:54,520 --> 01:24:56,440
Speaker 3: going to start giving him more and more opportunities.

1609
01:24:56,479 --> 01:24:58,280
Speaker 2: All right, there was a lot around the league that

1610
01:24:58,360 --> 01:25:02,879
Speaker 2: happened without the Bills on another game obviously tonight on Monday.

1611
01:25:02,920 --> 01:25:06,479
Speaker 2: But for now, your best catch award goes to.

1612
01:25:06,439 --> 01:25:10,800
Speaker 13: Whom best catch of yesterday, maybe best catch so far

1613
01:25:10,880 --> 01:25:15,519
Speaker 13: to start the season goes to Cincinnati's cornerback Cam Taylor

1614
01:25:15,680 --> 01:25:19,120
Speaker 13: Britt for the interception that he had. Cincinnati had the

1615
01:25:19,160 --> 01:25:21,720
Speaker 13: five point lead heading into the fourth quarter. Here, the

1616
01:25:21,800 --> 01:25:24,920
Speaker 13: Chiefs have the ball as the third quarter is finishing

1617
01:25:24,960 --> 01:25:28,280
Speaker 13: up and Mahomes fire to pass down the sideline intended

1618
01:25:28,320 --> 01:25:32,120
Speaker 13: for the rookie Xavier Worthy, but Cam Taylor Britt runs

1619
01:25:32,160 --> 01:25:35,679
Speaker 13: stride for stride with Worthy, turns at the perfect time,

1620
01:25:36,200 --> 01:25:39,519
Speaker 13: sticks one hand out in the air, and makes the

1621
01:25:39,560 --> 01:25:45,080
Speaker 13: one handed catch for the interception. It was crazy to

1622
01:25:45,200 --> 01:25:48,680
Speaker 13: watch that athleticism on display. He kind of had to

1623
01:25:49,439 --> 01:25:52,640
Speaker 13: lift his entire body up to get that hand on

1624
01:25:52,720 --> 01:25:55,320
Speaker 13: the football. You saw his leg and his foot also

1625
01:25:55,400 --> 01:25:57,519
Speaker 13: go up on the air. He almost go up in

1626
01:25:57,560 --> 01:25:59,680
Speaker 13: the air. He almost got airborne on that to be

1627
01:25:59,720 --> 01:26:05,160
Speaker 13: able to pull it down, but unfortunately Cincinnati fumbled. On

1628
01:26:05,200 --> 01:26:08,360
Speaker 13: the next drive, Kansas City scores a touchdown and Kansas

1629
01:26:08,360 --> 01:26:11,360
Speaker 13: City won the game twenty six to twenty five.

1630
01:26:12,040 --> 01:26:15,320
Speaker 2: And then finally the He's Back Awards.

1631
01:26:15,320 --> 01:26:19,160
Speaker 13: He's back running back Alvin Camara.

1632
01:26:19,240 --> 01:26:20,840
Speaker 3: He's back to his old ways.

1633
01:26:21,240 --> 01:26:24,760
Speaker 13: He had a day against the Cowboys, four total touchdowns,

1634
01:26:24,920 --> 01:26:28,760
Speaker 13: one hundred and eighty yards from scrimmage. The Saints have

1635
01:26:28,880 --> 01:26:31,920
Speaker 13: started the twenty twenty four season off with a bang.

1636
01:26:32,000 --> 01:26:36,200
Speaker 13: You guys, they scored a combined ninety one points in

1637
01:26:36,240 --> 01:26:41,000
Speaker 13: the last two weeks. That's crazy. Derek Carr, by the way,

1638
01:26:41,439 --> 01:26:45,439
Speaker 13: has a passer rating of one forty two to start

1639
01:26:45,520 --> 01:26:46,280
Speaker 13: this season.

1640
01:26:47,040 --> 01:26:51,120
Speaker 2: Clint kobiaks the man it punted once, Yes, two weeks.

1641
01:26:51,320 --> 01:26:53,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, certainly they're not going to keep this pace up

1642
01:26:53,760 --> 01:26:56,040
Speaker 3: the entire season, but there's no doubt about it. This

1643
01:26:56,080 --> 01:26:58,920
Speaker 3: is it's no fluke either. They did pay the play

1644
01:26:58,920 --> 01:27:03,800
Speaker 3: the Carolina Panther on opening day, which was you got

1645
01:27:03,800 --> 01:27:05,920
Speaker 3: them off to the hot start. Yeah, you walk into

1646
01:27:06,000 --> 01:27:07,960
Speaker 3: Dallas with a lot of confidence, and they played well.

1647
01:27:07,960 --> 01:27:12,120
Speaker 3: And Dallas is probably a little bit inflated and quite

1648
01:27:12,160 --> 01:27:19,160
Speaker 3: frankly flat for their home opener. So they Saints are

1649
01:27:19,160 --> 01:27:23,439
Speaker 3: a really good football team and they're going to probably

1650
01:27:23,439 --> 01:27:26,320
Speaker 3: continue to score points. But man, scoring forty a week

1651
01:27:26,400 --> 01:27:29,879
Speaker 3: is something it's really hardant to sustain in this environment.

1652
01:27:30,360 --> 01:27:32,320
Speaker 2: We are up against the break. But Maddie, thanks for

1653
01:27:32,400 --> 01:27:34,479
Speaker 2: the second edition of the Maddie Awards. We hope there

1654
01:27:34,560 --> 01:27:37,800
Speaker 2: is a third edition. Yeah, Tuesday next week after Monday

1655
01:27:37,840 --> 01:27:39,920
Speaker 2: Night Football. We take a break here, but when we

1656
01:27:40,000 --> 01:27:42,400
Speaker 2: come back. It only took two weeks. There is already

1657
01:27:42,439 --> 01:27:44,479
Speaker 2: a quarterback change your foot in the league. We'll tell

1658
01:27:44,479 --> 01:27:46,200
Speaker 2: you who that is next here on One Bill's Live.

1659
01:27:46,240 --> 01:28:00,240
Speaker 2: Stay with us. Well, as we said before the raak,

1660
01:28:00,280 --> 01:28:02,600
Speaker 2: a quarterback change is already a foot here in the

1661
01:28:02,680 --> 01:28:05,920
Speaker 2: NFL after just two weeks of action, and it's the

1662
01:28:05,920 --> 01:28:10,040
Speaker 2: Carolina Panthers making the switch from former number one overall

1663
01:28:10,040 --> 01:28:14,759
Speaker 2: pick Bryce Young to the red Rifle. He's back. Andy

1664
01:28:14,880 --> 01:28:19,440
Speaker 2: Dalton is going to start Week three for the Carolina Panthers.

1665
01:28:19,880 --> 01:28:23,040
Speaker 2: So that is your first quarterback change, not due to

1666
01:28:23,160 --> 01:28:27,479
Speaker 2: injury but performance here in the NFL in the twenty

1667
01:28:27,560 --> 01:28:28,360
Speaker 2: twenty four season.

1668
01:28:28,360 --> 01:28:33,880
Speaker 3: I'm shocked, not shocked. You know, you gotta do something

1669
01:28:33,920 --> 01:28:39,800
Speaker 3: and that we keep getting signals out of Carolina as

1670
01:28:39,840 --> 01:28:44,479
Speaker 3: to how they're not getting it right and aren't even

1671
01:28:44,520 --> 01:28:47,360
Speaker 3: on the way towards getting it right. This is not

1672
01:28:47,439 --> 01:28:49,080
Speaker 3: a course correction for Carolina.

1673
01:28:49,280 --> 01:28:51,720
Speaker 2: No, it's a short term solution to get a win

1674
01:28:51,800 --> 01:28:57,240
Speaker 2: on the board. That's really what it is. And in

1675
01:28:57,280 --> 01:28:59,280
Speaker 2: case you're wondering, the Carolina Panthers are going on the

1676
01:28:59,360 --> 01:29:01,639
Speaker 2: road next week. They got to play at the Raiders

1677
01:29:01,680 --> 01:29:05,760
Speaker 2: in Las Vegas, who just came off a very inspiring

1678
01:29:05,800 --> 01:29:10,519
Speaker 2: win on the road at Baltimore with the last and

1679
01:29:10,560 --> 01:29:12,400
Speaker 2: the radar field goal from Daniel Carson.

1680
01:29:12,400 --> 01:29:15,360
Speaker 3: And the Raiders are doing it with defense, which is Yesday,

1681
01:29:15,360 --> 01:29:18,360
Speaker 3: which is toxic for the Carolina Panthers.

1682
01:29:18,720 --> 01:29:22,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, especially in that dome, so it'll be loud, and

1683
01:29:22,800 --> 01:29:25,000
Speaker 2: maybe that's part of the reason they're starting. Andy doll

1684
01:29:25,040 --> 01:29:26,800
Speaker 2: And put a veteran in that situation and hope he

1685
01:29:26,840 --> 01:29:28,720
Speaker 2: can get you a win. We do want to get

1686
01:29:28,720 --> 01:29:30,639
Speaker 2: back to the phones though, at ado three oh five fifty.

1687
01:29:30,680 --> 01:29:33,280
Speaker 2: Got some people waiting patiently there as we gave you

1688
01:29:33,320 --> 01:29:36,519
Speaker 2: a fill in the blank assignment. Today the bills are

1689
01:29:36,680 --> 01:29:40,920
Speaker 2: two to oh mainly due to blank. Fill in that

1690
01:29:40,920 --> 01:29:43,200
Speaker 2: blank for us at eight O three oh five point fifty.

1691
01:29:43,520 --> 01:29:45,800
Speaker 2: Back to the phones, we go into Carl in Connecticut.

1692
01:29:45,840 --> 01:29:46,439
Speaker 2: What do you got for us?

1693
01:29:46,439 --> 01:29:49,640
Speaker 14: Carl, Hi, gentlemen, can you hear me?

1694
01:29:49,800 --> 01:29:50,000
Speaker 2: Yes?

1695
01:29:50,040 --> 01:29:51,840
Speaker 15: We can very good.

1696
01:29:51,960 --> 01:29:55,519
Speaker 14: I've been in out of my Carl Day anyways, a

1697
01:29:55,640 --> 01:29:58,320
Speaker 14: plug for old weather s Field, Connecticut. It's beautiful, and

1698
01:29:58,400 --> 01:30:03,639
Speaker 14: visit to my daughter. Okay, your question. You know, there's

1699
01:30:03,680 --> 01:30:06,800
Speaker 14: always three things you hear from McDermott, and it's the

1700
01:30:06,880 --> 01:30:12,559
Speaker 14: key and trust the process, next man up, bend but

1701
01:30:12,640 --> 01:30:13,240
Speaker 14: don't break.

1702
01:30:13,360 --> 01:30:13,679
Speaker 12: Okay.

1703
01:30:14,600 --> 01:30:17,360
Speaker 14: They started the season in the first half with the

1704
01:30:17,400 --> 01:30:23,000
Speaker 14: Cardinals shaking the rust off. The rest is history. They

1705
01:30:23,040 --> 01:30:27,840
Speaker 14: went in to play Miami and they had some key injuries,

1706
01:30:27,920 --> 01:30:30,760
Speaker 14: but they had a game plan against two.

1707
01:30:30,680 --> 01:30:32,240
Speaker 5: Of the fastest receivers in the league.

1708
01:30:33,360 --> 01:30:35,720
Speaker 14: They still held their own, So I mean, I'm not

1709
01:30:35,800 --> 01:30:39,320
Speaker 14: it's the NFL. The Jaguars are a good team, but

1710
01:30:39,479 --> 01:30:43,880
Speaker 14: I think they'll hold their own. My only concern is

1711
01:30:43,880 --> 01:30:47,160
Speaker 14: is it at ten the running back. What I've noticed,

1712
01:30:48,000 --> 01:30:50,880
Speaker 14: we're you know, we adjust, but they've been getting around

1713
01:30:50,960 --> 01:30:53,519
Speaker 14: the corners really quick when they hand the ball off.

1714
01:30:54,640 --> 01:30:59,719
Speaker 14: So that's an observation. And two more things. I've noticed

1715
01:31:00,680 --> 01:31:04,360
Speaker 14: that we've gotten exceptionally better on the screen than we

1716
01:31:04,439 --> 01:31:06,920
Speaker 14: have in the last few years, which I'm really happy

1717
01:31:06,960 --> 01:31:15,479
Speaker 14: to see. And lastly, with regards to Tua, jeez man,

1718
01:31:15,640 --> 01:31:18,040
Speaker 14: I've never seen in all the years I've watched football,

1719
01:31:18,479 --> 01:31:20,200
Speaker 14: and I don't know, Steve, maybe you can help me

1720
01:31:20,240 --> 01:31:24,200
Speaker 14: with this. A guy go down like he has in

1721
01:31:24,240 --> 01:31:26,720
Speaker 14: the last year or two, his body the way it

1722
01:31:26,840 --> 01:31:30,640
Speaker 14: kind of freezes up with the concussions, come back and

1723
01:31:30,680 --> 01:31:33,680
Speaker 14: then have another one. I mean, whatever he chooses, Yeah,

1724
01:31:33,720 --> 01:31:37,960
Speaker 14: it's his call, but I you know, I'm fearful, fearful

1725
01:31:38,000 --> 01:31:40,720
Speaker 14: for him and as a player, Steve, I don't know

1726
01:31:40,720 --> 01:31:42,760
Speaker 14: how much of that lingers in the back of your

1727
01:31:42,800 --> 01:31:47,479
Speaker 14: head when you have a quarterback with that injury background,

1728
01:31:47,520 --> 01:31:51,400
Speaker 14: especially with the rules with the quarterback, it's like, I mean,

1729
01:31:52,360 --> 01:31:53,720
Speaker 14: you don't want to see him get hurt, but do

1730
01:31:53,800 --> 01:31:57,040
Speaker 14: you kind of approach with caution every time you play

1731
01:31:57,080 --> 01:31:59,679
Speaker 14: a guy like that? And again, I'm more concerned about

1732
01:31:59,680 --> 01:32:02,519
Speaker 14: his health. It's not about winning or losing anymore. And

1733
01:32:02,560 --> 01:32:05,759
Speaker 14: I don't know how that affects the play of any defender.

1734
01:32:05,800 --> 01:32:08,800
Speaker 14: And I'm not trying to I don't know. That's just

1735
01:32:08,840 --> 01:32:10,519
Speaker 14: my thought. Can I just stay on the line because

1736
01:32:10,520 --> 01:32:11,640
Speaker 14: I'm not delay?

1737
01:32:12,600 --> 01:32:12,760
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1738
01:32:12,800 --> 01:32:17,360
Speaker 3: Yeah. A couple of things about the two. A thing,

1739
01:32:17,840 --> 01:32:19,519
Speaker 3: it does not surprise me that he's going to come

1740
01:32:19,520 --> 01:32:25,080
Speaker 3: back and play. It does not affect you when you're

1741
01:32:25,120 --> 01:32:28,360
Speaker 3: out there playing. I mean, certainly he should have slid.

1742
01:32:28,400 --> 01:32:29,960
Speaker 3: You would think if it affected the way he played,

1743
01:32:30,000 --> 01:32:32,200
Speaker 3: he would have slid in front of DeMar Hamlin instead

1744
01:32:32,240 --> 01:32:36,840
Speaker 3: of going in head first, which was, you know, just

1745
01:32:36,880 --> 01:32:39,160
Speaker 3: to spur the moment thing. He just didn't think straight.

1746
01:32:39,200 --> 01:32:45,360
Speaker 3: He should have. He should have slid. I'm not super

1747
01:32:45,400 --> 01:32:49,560
Speaker 3: I'm not worried about Tua's future. I think two is

1748
01:32:49,600 --> 01:32:56,000
Speaker 3: going to be great. I have seen multiple, multiple other

1749
01:32:56,120 --> 01:32:59,519
Speaker 3: instances where players have had the exact same and way

1750
01:32:59,600 --> 01:33:03,960
Speaker 3: worse symptoms on the field after concussion.

1751
01:33:03,640 --> 01:33:06,040
Speaker 2: Because when you played there were no rules protecting quarterbacks.

1752
01:33:06,120 --> 01:33:09,000
Speaker 3: Yes, I have seen it many times, and the men

1753
01:33:09,080 --> 01:33:11,960
Speaker 3: that I saw do it are still close friends of mine.

1754
01:33:12,000 --> 01:33:16,800
Speaker 3: I can call him anytime I want, and they're doing great. Now.

1755
01:33:16,840 --> 01:33:19,880
Speaker 3: That's not that doesn't mean every single guy is gonna

1756
01:33:19,880 --> 01:33:22,800
Speaker 3: have that outcome, or doesn't mean that's even gonna be

1757
01:33:22,840 --> 01:33:27,760
Speaker 3: my outcome. But it happened to me a ton and

1758
01:33:28,160 --> 01:33:29,680
Speaker 3: it's I've seen it happen to a lot of other

1759
01:33:29,720 --> 01:33:34,320
Speaker 3: players too. Two is gonna have a nice unless something

1760
01:33:34,400 --> 01:33:38,080
Speaker 3: else happens to me. My experience tells me too is

1761
01:33:38,080 --> 01:33:40,360
Speaker 3: going to be great for you know, he's like he's

1762
01:33:40,400 --> 01:33:43,960
Speaker 3: got a long, happy life ahead of him, whether he

1763
01:33:44,000 --> 01:33:48,879
Speaker 3: plays again or not. So yes, it's difficult for people

1764
01:33:49,280 --> 01:33:51,160
Speaker 3: to look at and see a guy go through that

1765
01:33:51,240 --> 01:33:55,000
Speaker 3: on the field where he did that, but it's one

1766
01:33:55,000 --> 01:33:58,400
Speaker 3: of the it's an injury that if with now the

1767
01:33:58,400 --> 01:34:03,200
Speaker 3: testing and the and the data that they have, they

1768
01:34:03,200 --> 01:34:05,479
Speaker 3: will make sure he is a one hundred percent healthy

1769
01:34:05,479 --> 01:34:08,839
Speaker 3: before he goes back on the field, not fifty percent

1770
01:34:08,920 --> 01:34:12,360
Speaker 3: healthy because that is a problem, but they'll make sure

1771
01:34:12,360 --> 01:34:14,640
Speaker 3: he's one hundred percent healthy before he goes back on

1772
01:34:14,680 --> 01:34:17,840
Speaker 3: the field, and TA won't give it a second thought

1773
01:34:17,880 --> 01:34:21,800
Speaker 3: when he's out there because the problem with the concussions

1774
01:34:22,160 --> 01:34:25,519
Speaker 3: is that like today, to is probably feeling one hundred

1775
01:34:25,560 --> 01:34:30,439
Speaker 3: percent and you know, now he's got to go through

1776
01:34:30,439 --> 01:34:33,000
Speaker 3: the protocols and all that. That's the crazy thing about

1777
01:34:33,040 --> 01:34:35,160
Speaker 3: It's not an acl where you can't walk.

1778
01:34:35,280 --> 01:34:36,200
Speaker 2: It's a brain injury.

1779
01:34:36,640 --> 01:34:39,120
Speaker 3: It's an injury where you're sitting there thinking, now, I

1780
01:34:39,120 --> 01:34:45,519
Speaker 3: feel great, but the underlying underlying issues are still there

1781
01:34:45,520 --> 01:34:47,120
Speaker 3: and you got to you gotta really go deep. You

1782
01:34:47,160 --> 01:34:51,520
Speaker 3: got to test for those. So that's the problem with concussions.

1783
01:34:51,560 --> 01:34:54,240
Speaker 3: I know a couple of guys I played against in

1784
01:34:54,280 --> 01:34:57,200
Speaker 3: the league had their careers ended by it. Merril Hodge

1785
01:34:57,240 --> 01:35:01,120
Speaker 3: was one. Altoon was another Hodge of the Pittsburgh Steelers

1786
01:35:01,120 --> 01:35:04,639
Speaker 3: out tune with the New York Jets. Wide receiver Kevin

1787
01:35:04,680 --> 01:35:09,679
Speaker 3: Cobb was here. But even now, those guys, to my knowledge,

1788
01:35:09,760 --> 01:35:15,720
Speaker 3: are leading healthy lives. So but the reason it got

1789
01:35:15,800 --> 01:35:18,400
Speaker 3: to that point with those gentlemen I mentioned was they

1790
01:35:18,439 --> 01:35:22,960
Speaker 3: came back way too soon. And that is the one

1791
01:35:23,040 --> 01:35:26,240
Speaker 3: key element of this scenario that you really do have

1792
01:35:26,320 --> 01:35:28,839
Speaker 3: to pay attention to. He can come back and play,

1793
01:35:29,320 --> 01:35:32,800
Speaker 3: but not until he's one hundred percent, not ninety eight

1794
01:35:32,840 --> 01:35:34,400
Speaker 3: percent one percent.

1795
01:35:34,600 --> 01:35:36,599
Speaker 2: I don't wonder how much damage was done when he

1796
01:35:36,640 --> 01:35:38,639
Speaker 2: came back the very next week.

1797
01:35:38,800 --> 01:35:40,439
Speaker 3: That was what happened to him, what happened to him

1798
01:35:40,479 --> 01:35:41,200
Speaker 3: last time.

1799
01:35:41,000 --> 01:35:45,760
Speaker 2: In the Bills game. Later he played against Cincinnati, got

1800
01:35:45,800 --> 01:35:48,720
Speaker 2: swung to the ground and suffered another concussion. Because to

1801
01:35:48,920 --> 01:35:53,639
Speaker 2: in very close proximity cumulatively do a ton more damage.

1802
01:35:53,880 --> 01:35:57,160
Speaker 2: That's the concern, and that hopefully they take the right

1803
01:35:57,200 --> 01:35:59,240
Speaker 2: approach here in terms of his return to play now,

1804
01:35:59,240 --> 01:36:02,599
Speaker 2: because according to reports, he is not considering retirement. We've

1805
01:36:02,600 --> 01:36:06,040
Speaker 2: got a break here when we come back ESPN, NFL

1806
01:36:06,120 --> 01:36:09,080
Speaker 2: insider Jeremy Fowler going to be joining us. We'll ask

1807
01:36:09,120 --> 01:36:11,360
Speaker 2: him about two among other subjects around the league that

1808
01:36:11,400 --> 01:36:14,160
Speaker 2: took place, a lot of injury news yesterday about some

1809
01:36:14,240 --> 01:36:16,960
Speaker 2: big name players. We'll get some updates from him next

1810
01:36:17,040 --> 01:36:17,880
Speaker 2: here on One Bill's Live.

1811
01:36:17,920 --> 01:36:54,960
Speaker 16: Stay with us.

1812
01:36:54,720 --> 01:36:59,400
Speaker 1: This One Bill's Live presented by Kalida Health.

1813
01:37:00,439 --> 01:37:03,559
Speaker 2: All right, here we are our number three on Buffalo

1814
01:37:03,640 --> 01:37:06,280
Speaker 2: Football Monday. Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you. Please to

1815
01:37:06,280 --> 01:37:10,040
Speaker 2: be joined now by ESPN senior NFL reporter Jeremy Fowler

1816
01:37:10,120 --> 01:37:12,720
Speaker 2: joining us here on the show. And Jeremy, it was

1817
01:37:12,760 --> 01:37:16,680
Speaker 2: hard not to notice the number of injuries to household

1818
01:37:16,840 --> 01:37:20,160
Speaker 2: name players yesterday. And I mean, I'm not gonna run

1819
01:37:20,160 --> 01:37:22,839
Speaker 2: down the entire list, but you're talking about the Cooper Cups,

1820
01:37:22,840 --> 01:37:27,760
Speaker 2: the Joe Mixons, Isaiah Pacheco, even Jermaine Johnson we learn

1821
01:37:28,520 --> 01:37:30,880
Speaker 2: is done for the season for the Jets, and they're

1822
01:37:30,920 --> 01:37:33,759
Speaker 2: already down a pass rusher who's a holdout in Hassan Reddick.

1823
01:37:34,720 --> 01:37:37,759
Speaker 2: Is there one that strikes you as potentially the most

1824
01:37:37,880 --> 01:37:41,480
Speaker 2: damaging to one of those team's fortunes? I mean, Pachecko

1825
01:37:41,560 --> 01:37:44,400
Speaker 2: looks like a tricky one here, because I mean they

1826
01:37:44,439 --> 01:37:47,200
Speaker 2: know what I mean. Clyde Edwards Hilaire is going through

1827
01:37:47,320 --> 01:37:50,720
Speaker 2: the post traumatic stress disorder stuff, and we certainly wish

1828
01:37:50,800 --> 01:37:53,679
Speaker 2: him the well, but they're caught a little bit short

1829
01:37:53,680 --> 01:37:55,320
Speaker 2: handed there at the running back position.

1830
01:37:56,960 --> 01:37:59,240
Speaker 17: Yeah, Pachecko is a one that comes to mind, really

1831
01:37:59,320 --> 01:38:02,640
Speaker 17: because ever since the playoffs last year, late season, he

1832
01:38:02,720 --> 01:38:04,800
Speaker 17: was getting his stride. He's a twenty carry guy who'll

1833
01:38:04,800 --> 01:38:07,120
Speaker 17: get you ninety to one hundred yards each week. Like

1834
01:38:07,240 --> 01:38:10,720
Speaker 17: he's a bona fide, fringe top ten type running back

1835
01:38:10,760 --> 01:38:13,000
Speaker 17: at this stage, so they rely on him a lot.

1836
01:38:13,080 --> 01:38:15,400
Speaker 17: This is not the aired out Chiefs offense that maybe

1837
01:38:15,439 --> 01:38:16,559
Speaker 17: was four or five years ago.

1838
01:38:16,600 --> 01:38:16,960
Speaker 12: A little bit.

1839
01:38:16,960 --> 01:38:19,880
Speaker 17: They got to get creative running backs, tight ends take

1840
01:38:19,920 --> 01:38:22,639
Speaker 17: the occasional shot or as she Rice or Xavier Worthy,

1841
01:38:22,680 --> 01:38:25,559
Speaker 17: But they're somewhat conservative because of the way defenses play

1842
01:38:25,640 --> 01:38:27,760
Speaker 17: them now and they got to kind of matriculate the

1843
01:38:27,760 --> 01:38:29,960
Speaker 17: ball downfield. Butch I Go is a big reason why

1844
01:38:30,000 --> 01:38:33,000
Speaker 17: they've been able to have success there. So it looks like,

1845
01:38:33,160 --> 01:38:34,640
Speaker 17: you know, from what I'm hearing early on, he might

1846
01:38:34,640 --> 01:38:36,439
Speaker 17: be able to make it back by around mid season.

1847
01:38:36,479 --> 01:38:38,000
Speaker 17: You know, they're hoping the fracture is more of like

1848
01:38:38,040 --> 01:38:40,080
Speaker 17: a hairline fracture, which would be good, but they're probably

1849
01:38:40,120 --> 01:38:42,000
Speaker 17: gonna have to add a running back. You know, Kareem

1850
01:38:42,080 --> 01:38:44,360
Speaker 17: Hunts out there. He's probably the top free agent running

1851
01:38:44,400 --> 01:38:46,000
Speaker 17: back left and he has a lot of history with

1852
01:38:46,080 --> 01:38:46,639
Speaker 17: Kansas City.

1853
01:38:47,160 --> 01:38:48,880
Speaker 3: What's the next step for Kansas City's offense.

1854
01:38:48,920 --> 01:38:51,200
Speaker 2: I mean that's the MAJP run.

1855
01:38:51,280 --> 01:38:53,519
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, they got they've got some guys out there,

1856
01:38:53,680 --> 01:38:57,040
Speaker 3: but even more will fall on the plate of well,

1857
01:38:57,240 --> 01:39:00,000
Speaker 3: you say, you know Pat Mahomes, but also Andy Reid

1858
01:39:00,160 --> 01:39:01,320
Speaker 3: trying to find a way around this.

1859
01:39:03,000 --> 01:39:04,960
Speaker 17: Yeah, and he always does. You know, certainly, if anybody

1860
01:39:04,960 --> 01:39:06,840
Speaker 17: can do, it's Andy Reid. But you know, you have

1861
01:39:06,880 --> 01:39:08,720
Speaker 17: some MJP ron who they like. He's you know, they

1862
01:39:08,840 --> 01:39:12,920
Speaker 17: just acquired in those They're still getting a macclimated. Carson Steele

1863
01:39:13,000 --> 01:39:15,479
Speaker 17: got some key carries last night and some key moments,

1864
01:39:15,640 --> 01:39:17,080
Speaker 17: you know, even though he have the fumble. They seem

1865
01:39:17,120 --> 01:39:19,439
Speaker 17: to be really high on him. But certainly those guys

1866
01:39:19,520 --> 01:39:22,519
Speaker 17: can't replicate exactly what Pachecko was doing at a higher level.

1867
01:39:22,560 --> 01:39:24,280
Speaker 17: So they've got to kind of figure that out and

1868
01:39:24,320 --> 01:39:26,559
Speaker 17: probably piece meal it a little bit and add somebody

1869
01:39:27,240 --> 01:39:28,080
Speaker 17: and go from there.

1870
01:39:28,800 --> 01:39:28,920
Speaker 4: You know.

1871
01:39:29,000 --> 01:39:31,080
Speaker 17: Jerck McKinnon two is a familiar face who was a

1872
01:39:31,120 --> 01:39:33,120
Speaker 17: free agent who was kind of waiting things out, and

1873
01:39:33,600 --> 01:39:34,960
Speaker 17: you know they've been able to get him back on

1874
01:39:35,000 --> 01:39:36,640
Speaker 17: minimum deals in the past, but I don't know if

1875
01:39:36,640 --> 01:39:39,280
Speaker 17: he would take that anymore. But you know, he's certainly

1876
01:39:39,280 --> 01:39:41,360
Speaker 17: a reliable face who knows the offense well, but he's

1877
01:39:41,360 --> 01:39:44,160
Speaker 17: probably more of a pass catching down. So to get

1878
01:39:44,200 --> 01:39:47,519
Speaker 17: the twenty carries to a game to replace Pachecko, you're

1879
01:39:47,520 --> 01:39:48,559
Speaker 17: going to have to get creative.

1880
01:39:48,720 --> 01:39:52,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know I mentioned Jermaine Johnson already as a

1881
01:39:52,280 --> 01:39:54,320
Speaker 2: bad injury for the Jets. I know a story you've

1882
01:39:54,360 --> 01:39:57,960
Speaker 2: been following is how the Hassan Reddick thing's gonna wind

1883
01:39:58,040 --> 01:40:00,640
Speaker 2: up here. And there are some league that I know

1884
01:40:00,680 --> 01:40:02,800
Speaker 2: you've talked to that think they may have to just

1885
01:40:03,520 --> 01:40:05,479
Speaker 2: move on from him and trade him and try to

1886
01:40:05,520 --> 01:40:08,599
Speaker 2: get some form of compensation back. But now you're down

1887
01:40:08,680 --> 01:40:12,439
Speaker 2: Jermaine Johnson. The Hassan Reddick thing is a stalemate at best.

1888
01:40:13,360 --> 01:40:15,880
Speaker 2: Bryce huff is playing in Philadelphia. I mean, I know

1889
01:40:15,920 --> 01:40:19,200
Speaker 2: Will McDonald finished the game for them yesterday and closed

1890
01:40:19,240 --> 01:40:22,080
Speaker 2: it out with a big sack, but they're getting a

1891
01:40:22,080 --> 01:40:24,240
Speaker 2: little thin themselves at an important position.

1892
01:40:26,400 --> 01:40:29,280
Speaker 17: Yeah, it's an issue. I mean, especially with Jermaine Johnson

1893
01:40:29,320 --> 01:40:31,439
Speaker 17: going out, does that force their hand with us on Reddick?

1894
01:40:31,439 --> 01:40:33,320
Speaker 17: That's really the question that a lot of people have.

1895
01:40:33,800 --> 01:40:36,680
Speaker 17: Does that change the dynamic a little bit? You know,

1896
01:40:36,680 --> 01:40:38,559
Speaker 17: they like Will McDonald, They like what he did all

1897
01:40:38,600 --> 01:40:41,040
Speaker 17: off season. He put on a little weight, they felt

1898
01:40:41,040 --> 01:40:42,439
Speaker 17: like he'd be a little better against the run, and

1899
01:40:42,439 --> 01:40:45,560
Speaker 17: then he got three sacks yesterday, so they feel like

1900
01:40:45,600 --> 01:40:48,040
Speaker 17: they're set there, but they still need more, especially with

1901
01:40:48,080 --> 01:40:49,640
Speaker 17: the injury that went on. You know, They've always had

1902
01:40:49,640 --> 01:40:52,080
Speaker 17: pretty good depth below on the defensive line, so we'll

1903
01:40:52,080 --> 01:40:54,000
Speaker 17: see how they handle it. But this has been a

1904
01:40:54,080 --> 01:40:56,240
Speaker 17: situation where Reddick where neither side has wanted a cave.

1905
01:40:56,920 --> 01:40:59,360
Speaker 17: There's been some dialogue between the agent and the team,

1906
01:40:59,400 --> 01:41:02,559
Speaker 17: but not really anything substantial that would lead you to

1907
01:41:02,560 --> 01:41:04,000
Speaker 17: think that there's going to be a deal done or

1908
01:41:04,040 --> 01:41:07,040
Speaker 17: a new contract. And I don't know, there aren't a

1909
01:41:07,080 --> 01:41:09,720
Speaker 17: lot of situations of pure holdouts like this that we

1910
01:41:09,720 --> 01:41:11,880
Speaker 17: can draw from as president. You know, Le'Veon Bell was

1911
01:41:11,880 --> 01:41:13,439
Speaker 17: the case a couple of years ago at Pittsburgh, but

1912
01:41:13,439 --> 01:41:15,360
Speaker 17: he was on the franchise tag and hadn't signed now,

1913
01:41:15,479 --> 01:41:18,639
Speaker 17: so he was technically not under contract and be holding

1914
01:41:18,680 --> 01:41:22,080
Speaker 17: to the holdout rules and fines and withheld salary. This

1915
01:41:22,160 --> 01:41:23,760
Speaker 17: is a case for Redicks going on seven or eight

1916
01:41:23,800 --> 01:41:26,360
Speaker 17: million dollars that he's given up. How long is he

1917
01:41:26,400 --> 01:41:28,679
Speaker 17: willing to wait? We had Melvin Gordon with the Chargers

1918
01:41:28,760 --> 01:41:30,880
Speaker 17: years ago who held on came back around week three

1919
01:41:31,000 --> 01:41:33,600
Speaker 17: or four, after the first quarter of the season, you know,

1920
01:41:33,680 --> 01:41:36,360
Speaker 17: and he said later on he regretted that. So I

1921
01:41:36,360 --> 01:41:38,439
Speaker 17: don't know, Redick seems dug in. But this is around

1922
01:41:38,479 --> 01:41:41,040
Speaker 17: the time of year where guys say, Okay, I've lost

1923
01:41:41,040 --> 01:41:43,200
Speaker 17: the battle. I got to start to collect some money

1924
01:41:43,200 --> 01:41:45,360
Speaker 17: here and hopefully they'll make me hold on a new contract.

1925
01:41:45,439 --> 01:41:49,240
Speaker 3: Well, it would appear too, And we were wondering about

1926
01:41:49,240 --> 01:41:50,840
Speaker 3: this earlier in the show, and I didn't think the

1927
01:41:50,880 --> 01:41:54,040
Speaker 3: Jets had space. They've got eighteen million dollars in cap space,

1928
01:41:54,800 --> 01:41:56,640
Speaker 3: so if they wanted to make a big move like

1929
01:41:56,680 --> 01:41:58,880
Speaker 3: that and guarantee some down the road and give him enough,

1930
01:41:59,080 --> 01:42:02,040
Speaker 3: you know, they could do it or get it done now.

1931
01:42:02,080 --> 01:42:04,920
Speaker 3: But they're the tenth there, you know, they're the top

1932
01:42:04,960 --> 01:42:07,840
Speaker 3: ten in the league in cap space, so there is

1933
01:42:07,840 --> 01:42:10,080
Speaker 3: some space there to get something done if if they

1934
01:42:10,120 --> 01:42:13,920
Speaker 3: so desire. But let's face it at this point, I

1935
01:42:13,920 --> 01:42:15,840
Speaker 3: don't think. I mean, Reddick's not going to take a

1936
01:42:15,840 --> 01:42:19,280
Speaker 3: one year deal or a you know, or a or

1937
01:42:19,280 --> 01:42:21,240
Speaker 3: anything like that. He's gonna He's gonna want a big,

1938
01:42:21,280 --> 01:42:23,400
Speaker 3: long term deal. That's his whole point, right.

1939
01:42:25,000 --> 01:42:25,479
Speaker 4: For sure.

1940
01:42:25,920 --> 01:42:27,720
Speaker 17: I think they could have found some middle ground out there,

1941
01:42:27,720 --> 01:42:30,000
Speaker 17: willing to do like a sweetener this year with a

1942
01:42:30,040 --> 01:42:33,080
Speaker 17: stronger guarantee package, more money. But I don't even know

1943
01:42:33,120 --> 01:42:35,720
Speaker 17: if it's gotten to that point. And this is the

1944
01:42:35,800 --> 01:42:37,960
Speaker 17: exact reason why teams will be hesitant to trade for him,

1945
01:42:38,000 --> 01:42:40,680
Speaker 17: because even if you did try to trade for him,

1946
01:42:40,760 --> 01:42:41,920
Speaker 17: and you don't have to give up a lot of

1947
01:42:42,000 --> 01:42:45,360
Speaker 17: draft compensation to get them, then is he not going

1948
01:42:45,439 --> 01:42:47,200
Speaker 17: to show up or is he gonna be unhappy? Or

1949
01:42:47,400 --> 01:42:49,639
Speaker 17: is he willing to play for ten games or eight games?

1950
01:42:50,040 --> 01:42:52,360
Speaker 17: Or do you have to do a new deal? You know,

1951
01:42:52,439 --> 01:42:55,599
Speaker 17: the situation with Matthew Judon when he was traded from

1952
01:42:55,680 --> 01:42:58,919
Speaker 17: New England. Part of the reason why Atlanta and Chicago

1953
01:42:58,920 --> 01:43:01,720
Speaker 17: and some teams are involved because they felt like he

1954
01:43:01,800 --> 01:43:03,200
Speaker 17: was at least going to show up if he didn't

1955
01:43:03,200 --> 01:43:05,080
Speaker 17: do it redo his contract, even though he wanted a

1956
01:43:05,080 --> 01:43:06,719
Speaker 17: new deal, he was going to show up and play,

1957
01:43:07,760 --> 01:43:09,479
Speaker 17: and you know, you hope for the best. He went

1958
01:43:09,520 --> 01:43:12,840
Speaker 17: to Atlanta because at least they seem willing to negotiate

1959
01:43:12,880 --> 01:43:16,080
Speaker 17: down the road, whereas Chicago wouldn't. But I still think

1960
01:43:16,120 --> 01:43:18,519
Speaker 17: of Chicago, they're looking for an extra edge rusher, or

1961
01:43:18,520 --> 01:43:20,240
Speaker 17: they have been. They got Darryl Taylor a couple of

1962
01:43:20,240 --> 01:43:23,639
Speaker 17: weeks ago at the roster cutdown deadline. But that's a team.

1963
01:43:23,680 --> 01:43:24,800
Speaker 17: You know, if they feel like they're right in it,

1964
01:43:24,840 --> 01:43:26,479
Speaker 17: do you add one more piece to the defense.

1965
01:43:27,800 --> 01:43:29,880
Speaker 2: Let's spin it over to the Bills, you know, two

1966
01:43:29,920 --> 01:43:32,760
Speaker 2: to zero now here Jeremy And look, they didn't need

1967
01:43:32,800 --> 01:43:35,680
Speaker 2: a lot from their new look passing game last week

1968
01:43:35,680 --> 01:43:39,280
Speaker 2: because for their ten possessions started in Miami territory on

1969
01:43:39,360 --> 01:43:43,320
Speaker 2: Thursday night. But it seems as though they've got a

1970
01:43:43,400 --> 01:43:45,880
Speaker 2: run game they can certainly rely upon one that was

1971
01:43:45,960 --> 01:43:48,240
Speaker 2: strong for them down the stretch under Joe Brady last

1972
01:43:48,280 --> 01:43:50,920
Speaker 2: year and looks every bit is good in the early

1973
01:43:50,960 --> 01:43:53,880
Speaker 2: going this season. How much do you think that could

1974
01:43:53,920 --> 01:43:58,160
Speaker 2: mitigate the urgency of this passing game maybe blossoming the

1975
01:43:58,160 --> 01:44:01,000
Speaker 2: way a lot of outside observers believe it has to

1976
01:44:01,160 --> 01:44:02,599
Speaker 2: if the Bills are going to get back to where

1977
01:44:02,600 --> 01:44:03,160
Speaker 2: they've been.

1978
01:44:05,320 --> 01:44:07,120
Speaker 17: Well, I don't know that it has to, right. I mean,

1979
01:44:07,120 --> 01:44:09,479
Speaker 17: you look at the other night. They took care of

1980
01:44:09,520 --> 01:44:12,400
Speaker 17: Miami pretty handedly and let yet, let yet. You look

1981
01:44:12,439 --> 01:44:15,320
Speaker 17: at Josh Allen's stat line and it was pretty who hum.

1982
01:44:15,439 --> 01:44:17,680
Speaker 17: But in the best possible way, right, You just he

1983
01:44:17,720 --> 01:44:19,920
Speaker 17: didn't need to do a lot of heavy lifting, you know,

1984
01:44:20,000 --> 01:44:21,639
Speaker 17: make the key throws and you need to early on.

1985
01:44:22,080 --> 01:44:23,960
Speaker 17: You get the running game going, you get James Cook going.

1986
01:44:24,000 --> 01:44:26,960
Speaker 17: You know, James Cook's a bonafie guy now, so you

1987
01:44:27,080 --> 01:44:28,960
Speaker 17: have what you need in place. It looks like the

1988
01:44:28,960 --> 01:44:31,519
Speaker 17: offensive line is better. So the fact that you have

1989
01:44:31,600 --> 01:44:33,080
Speaker 17: the option to be able to come out and run

1990
01:44:33,120 --> 01:44:36,519
Speaker 17: the ball and dictate terms in these games is huge

1991
01:44:36,520 --> 01:44:38,280
Speaker 17: for them. You know, that's something they maybe didn't have

1992
01:44:38,360 --> 01:44:41,040
Speaker 17: the last couple of years until late last season. So

1993
01:44:41,800 --> 01:44:44,519
Speaker 17: the formula's there. You know, Josh can take over games

1994
01:44:44,560 --> 01:44:46,920
Speaker 17: when he needs to, but the good news for Buffalo

1995
01:44:46,960 --> 01:44:48,200
Speaker 17: is that he doesn't always need to, and he can

1996
01:44:48,240 --> 01:44:50,799
Speaker 17: spread the ball around. I think what nine different targets

1997
01:44:51,760 --> 01:44:53,800
Speaker 17: different players are targeted in Week one and then a

1998
01:44:53,800 --> 01:44:56,599
Speaker 17: bunch more week two. So the offense seems like it's

1999
01:44:56,640 --> 01:44:58,000
Speaker 17: in a healthy state right now.

2000
01:44:58,479 --> 01:45:00,640
Speaker 3: What do you think the it's going to take for

2001
01:45:00,680 --> 01:45:03,160
Speaker 3: the Bills to get around the corner. Certainly they've got

2002
01:45:03,200 --> 01:45:06,000
Speaker 3: some teams out there, and I was going to ask

2003
01:45:06,000 --> 01:45:07,599
Speaker 3: you about which of these zero and two teams you're

2004
01:45:07,680 --> 01:45:09,640
Speaker 3: still gonna make the playoffs, but I think it now

2005
01:45:09,760 --> 01:45:12,519
Speaker 3: maybe we'll get to that. But for this this is

2006
01:45:12,560 --> 01:45:14,960
Speaker 3: still for the Bill's season. This is still about For

2007
01:45:15,000 --> 01:45:16,640
Speaker 3: the first time in a while, it's been about Now

2008
01:45:16,640 --> 01:45:19,479
Speaker 3: it's about the division once again, because it wasn't for

2009
01:45:20,280 --> 01:45:23,400
Speaker 3: last year and the year before. But now it kind

2010
01:45:23,400 --> 01:45:26,519
Speaker 3: of is about the division and about the Kansas City

2011
01:45:26,600 --> 01:45:28,519
Speaker 3: Chiefs getting by that. And I think the Chiefs are

2012
01:45:28,520 --> 01:45:30,440
Speaker 3: out there for every team in the AFC.

2013
01:45:32,600 --> 01:45:32,960
Speaker 2: For sure.

2014
01:45:33,000 --> 01:45:35,960
Speaker 17: I mean it's the AFCs is still a dynamic where

2015
01:45:36,000 --> 01:45:38,080
Speaker 17: you're going to have a star quarterback or two doesn't

2016
01:45:38,080 --> 01:45:41,640
Speaker 17: make the playoffs every year, but that's starting to crystallize

2017
01:45:41,680 --> 01:45:44,200
Speaker 17: a little bit. You know, you've seen Trevor Lawrence struggle,

2018
01:45:44,920 --> 01:45:46,800
Speaker 17: the Bengals of Joe Burrows struggled a little bit to

2019
01:45:46,800 --> 01:45:48,479
Speaker 17: go into although I still think they'll be in the

2020
01:45:48,520 --> 01:45:52,120
Speaker 17: mix in the end. The AFC does feel a little

2021
01:45:52,120 --> 01:45:54,240
Speaker 17: more wide open. Baltimore said at Own two, like I

2022
01:45:54,280 --> 01:45:56,840
Speaker 17: know it's a long season, but these teams don't want

2023
01:45:56,840 --> 01:45:59,519
Speaker 17: to get too deep into a hole where you have

2024
01:45:59,560 --> 01:46:02,160
Speaker 17: to adjust, and so, you know, as far as seating,

2025
01:46:02,200 --> 01:46:05,800
Speaker 17: Buffalo is in a pretty good space because or at

2026
01:46:05,880 --> 01:46:10,639
Speaker 17: least they have like a foreseeable path here, because Miami

2027
01:46:10,680 --> 01:46:12,599
Speaker 17: is obviously going to have to adjust here without Tua

2028
01:46:12,680 --> 01:46:15,920
Speaker 17: for however long that is. New England looks like they're

2029
01:46:15,920 --> 01:46:18,040
Speaker 17: gonna be really competitive, but not quite the same as

2030
01:46:18,080 --> 01:46:20,479
Speaker 17: what it was and they were dominating the division, and

2031
01:46:20,479 --> 01:46:22,360
Speaker 17: then the Jets still need to see a little bit more.

2032
01:46:22,360 --> 01:46:22,600
Speaker 2: You know that.

2033
01:46:22,720 --> 01:46:24,960
Speaker 17: Certainly, if they can get to two and one after

2034
01:46:25,040 --> 01:46:28,200
Speaker 17: Thursday night, that was probably their goal, knowing that they

2035
01:46:28,200 --> 01:46:30,920
Speaker 17: had the forty nine ers to open tough turnaround there.

2036
01:46:31,000 --> 01:46:31,720
Speaker 3: But you know, if they.

2037
01:46:31,640 --> 01:46:34,400
Speaker 17: Could get two or three of the first games, they'd

2038
01:46:34,400 --> 01:46:37,360
Speaker 17: be in a pretty good spot. And they have a

2039
01:46:37,400 --> 01:46:38,960
Speaker 17: lot of talent on the roster. But at the same time,

2040
01:46:39,000 --> 01:46:41,519
Speaker 17: Aaron Rodgers isn't guaranteed to be able to move like

2041
01:46:41,600 --> 01:46:43,200
Speaker 17: he was in the past. You know, he looks like

2042
01:46:43,280 --> 01:46:45,720
Speaker 17: he I certainly don't want to call Aaron Rodgers a

2043
01:46:45,720 --> 01:46:47,559
Speaker 17: game manager because he can still make all the throws

2044
01:46:47,560 --> 01:46:50,120
Speaker 17: and it's still a brilliant quarterback, but you know, he's

2045
01:46:50,120 --> 01:46:52,080
Speaker 17: probably not going to be scrambling around throwing on the

2046
01:46:52,160 --> 01:46:54,160
Speaker 17: run like he used to four or five years ago.

2047
01:46:54,200 --> 01:46:56,519
Speaker 17: I don't know that's the case anymore. So he's going

2048
01:46:56,600 --> 01:46:58,640
Speaker 17: to be a little bit more of a point guard distributor,

2049
01:46:58,680 --> 01:47:01,360
Speaker 17: I think. So do they have a ceiling because of that?

2050
01:47:01,800 --> 01:47:03,360
Speaker 17: And then then now they're have an interest to the defense.

2051
01:47:03,360 --> 01:47:06,040
Speaker 17: So I do think the Bills have the cleanest path

2052
01:47:06,080 --> 01:47:08,360
Speaker 17: to a divisional title. Where that gets them in the seating,

2053
01:47:08,400 --> 01:47:10,720
Speaker 17: I don't know yet, but when you have Kansas City

2054
01:47:10,800 --> 01:47:13,200
Speaker 17: lurk and you got to try your absolute best to

2055
01:47:13,200 --> 01:47:16,080
Speaker 17: get that home game and try to get the advantage

2056
01:47:16,120 --> 01:47:17,160
Speaker 17: and not have to go to Arrowhead.

2057
01:47:17,880 --> 01:47:20,920
Speaker 2: Last one for me, Jeremy, We'll spin it forward to

2058
01:47:21,000 --> 01:47:22,920
Speaker 2: the game that's going to air on your network Monday

2059
01:47:22,960 --> 01:47:26,559
Speaker 2: night Football Bills Jaguars. I'm sure you already saw the

2060
01:47:26,640 --> 01:47:30,439
Speaker 2: quote from Trevor Lawrence yesterday saying, right now, we suck

2061
01:47:31,520 --> 01:47:33,840
Speaker 2: a little strong after two games, But I get the

2062
01:47:33,840 --> 01:47:38,200
Speaker 2: frustration if you stretch it back to last season, Jeremy.

2063
01:47:38,240 --> 01:47:41,040
Speaker 2: They've lost seven of their last eight and their only

2064
01:47:41,080 --> 01:47:45,679
Speaker 2: win is against Carolina late last year. So where exactly

2065
01:47:45,880 --> 01:47:49,840
Speaker 2: where exactly is Coach Peterson in this group, and is

2066
01:47:49,880 --> 01:47:52,200
Speaker 2: it just like a good quarter to get back on

2067
01:47:52,360 --> 01:47:54,000
Speaker 2: track or what are we talking about here?

2068
01:47:55,760 --> 01:47:59,519
Speaker 17: Yeah, that's one of the most Jaguars have to be

2069
01:47:59,560 --> 01:48:02,320
Speaker 17: one of the most confounding teams in the NFL right now.

2070
01:48:02,320 --> 01:48:05,000
Speaker 17: I just can't figure them out. There's a lot of talent.

2071
01:48:06,240 --> 01:48:08,080
Speaker 17: They play like, there's a lot of talent, but it's

2072
01:48:08,080 --> 01:48:10,439
Speaker 17: always like missed opportunities or an inch or two here.

2073
01:48:10,520 --> 01:48:12,280
Speaker 17: Like there was a play at the goal line yesterday,

2074
01:48:12,800 --> 01:48:14,760
Speaker 17: four yard throw and like what looked like a quick

2075
01:48:14,760 --> 01:48:17,760
Speaker 17: out route Gabe Davis just missed him by an inch

2076
01:48:17,760 --> 01:48:19,160
Speaker 17: where he's got to try to get two feet in

2077
01:48:19,200 --> 01:48:21,240
Speaker 17: and can't get his feet in. They don't score the touchdown,

2078
01:48:21,240 --> 01:48:22,960
Speaker 17: I have to settle for a field goal or whatever

2079
01:48:22,960 --> 01:48:25,080
Speaker 17: they did there. It's just four trips to the red zone,

2080
01:48:25,120 --> 01:48:28,360
Speaker 17: one touchdown. It's just been like that dating back to

2081
01:48:28,479 --> 01:48:32,640
Speaker 17: last year. They just can't seem to finish drives. I

2082
01:48:32,680 --> 01:48:34,080
Speaker 17: don't know what to make of it. You know, Trevor

2083
01:48:34,120 --> 01:48:36,320
Speaker 17: Lawrence is not living up to his billing and he

2084
01:48:36,400 --> 01:48:38,400
Speaker 17: needs to in a hurry here because it's getting away

2085
01:48:38,400 --> 01:48:40,479
Speaker 17: from him. You know, that's seven game losing streaks, the

2086
01:48:40,520 --> 01:48:44,920
Speaker 17: longest among active quarterbacks and the next guy is Daniel Jones.

2087
01:48:44,960 --> 01:48:46,200
Speaker 17: So that's not the list you want to be on

2088
01:48:46,240 --> 01:48:48,080
Speaker 17: if you're Trevor Lawrence making two hundred and seventy five

2089
01:48:48,080 --> 01:48:52,120
Speaker 17: million dollars over five years. So they have some issues.

2090
01:48:52,160 --> 01:48:55,160
Speaker 17: They've built the system around him. They have the talent

2091
01:48:55,200 --> 01:48:56,640
Speaker 17: to do it. They just got to, I don't know,

2092
01:48:56,640 --> 01:48:58,640
Speaker 17: to get organized and figure this out. You know, I

2093
01:48:58,720 --> 01:49:00,320
Speaker 17: still think they can rally a little bit. It's not

2094
01:49:00,360 --> 01:49:01,599
Speaker 17: looking good, right.

2095
01:49:02,880 --> 01:49:05,600
Speaker 3: Thanks so much, appreciate you, Jeremy, Thanks for coming on

2096
01:49:05,640 --> 01:49:05,800
Speaker 3: with this.

2097
01:49:05,920 --> 01:49:06,120
Speaker 8: Thanks.

2098
01:49:06,439 --> 01:49:08,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I can catch you down the line. That's ESPN's

2099
01:49:08,680 --> 01:49:14,240
Speaker 2: Jeremy Fowler, senior NFL reporter and uh Bill's next game

2100
01:49:14,280 --> 01:49:16,759
Speaker 2: will be on their EIR on ESPN Monday Night Football

2101
01:49:17,040 --> 01:49:19,120
Speaker 2: when they host the Jacksonville Jaguars. And that's why I

2102
01:49:19,120 --> 01:49:21,240
Speaker 2: wanted to ask him about the Jaguars because they are

2103
01:49:21,320 --> 01:49:23,599
Speaker 2: confounding it. I mean, you look up and down that roster.

2104
01:49:23,680 --> 01:49:25,479
Speaker 2: There is a boatload of talent there.

2105
01:49:25,680 --> 01:49:32,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's yeah, that's also why you hate getting him

2106
01:49:32,840 --> 01:49:34,400
Speaker 3: in this spot. Here is your if.

2107
01:49:34,280 --> 01:49:35,479
Speaker 2: Your Bill's focus, they're gonna be.

2108
01:49:35,720 --> 01:49:37,639
Speaker 3: They are like a cornered animal. You know they're gonna

2109
01:49:37,640 --> 01:49:39,840
Speaker 3: come out fighting. Uh, they're not gonna want to see

2110
01:49:39,840 --> 01:49:42,600
Speaker 3: this thing slip away. You go zero to three, and

2111
01:49:42,920 --> 01:49:46,120
Speaker 3: I mean, you've got to win well, you know, you

2112
01:49:46,200 --> 01:49:49,200
Speaker 3: gotta win a ton of games in your last fourteen

2113
01:49:49,320 --> 01:49:53,240
Speaker 3: games to come out of it. You gotta go. You

2114
01:49:53,320 --> 01:49:54,960
Speaker 3: gotta go nine and five the rest of the way

2115
01:49:55,000 --> 01:49:58,200
Speaker 3: after you've just this will be their eighth loss, you know,

2116
01:49:58,640 --> 01:50:01,640
Speaker 3: in a row. So that's that's a big ask you

2117
01:50:01,760 --> 01:50:02,800
Speaker 3: just just just doesn't happen.

2118
01:50:02,800 --> 01:50:05,519
Speaker 2: There's only a handful of teams in league history that

2119
01:50:05,560 --> 01:50:08,320
Speaker 2: have made the playoffs after starting zero to three. Ninety

2120
01:50:08,360 --> 01:50:10,639
Speaker 2: eight Bills are one of them, but there's only about

2121
01:50:10,640 --> 01:50:12,800
Speaker 2: three or four teams that have done it. It's it's

2122
01:50:12,800 --> 01:50:15,240
Speaker 2: probably a little bit easier now with the extra playoff

2123
01:50:15,240 --> 01:50:18,360
Speaker 2: seat in each conference, right and the extra game to

2124
01:50:18,439 --> 01:50:20,599
Speaker 2: play to kind of make up because you're playing seventeen

2125
01:50:20,640 --> 01:50:24,439
Speaker 2: now instead of sixteen. But that's still a big hill

2126
01:50:24,479 --> 01:50:24,960
Speaker 2: to climb.

2127
01:50:25,000 --> 01:50:26,840
Speaker 3: So that yeah, and then that's the team you're getting,

2128
01:50:26,920 --> 01:50:29,120
Speaker 3: you know, Monday night, a week from tonight, is you

2129
01:50:29,120 --> 01:50:32,559
Speaker 3: know that team that's on it's you know, they got

2130
01:50:32,600 --> 01:50:34,800
Speaker 3: to feel like they're this is it's a must win.

2131
01:50:35,080 --> 01:50:36,720
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, and you're going to get that kind of

2132
01:50:36,720 --> 01:50:37,840
Speaker 3: effort from them.

2133
01:50:38,320 --> 01:50:39,800
Speaker 2: We want to get back to the phones though, at

2134
01:50:39,800 --> 01:50:41,960
Speaker 2: aight O three oh five fifty one eight eight eight

2135
01:50:42,040 --> 01:50:45,280
Speaker 2: five fifty two five point fifty. That's the phone number

2136
01:50:45,320 --> 01:50:47,800
Speaker 2: to join us. As we have given you a fill

2137
01:50:47,800 --> 01:50:51,400
Speaker 2: in the blank assignment today and it's as follows. The

2138
01:50:51,479 --> 01:50:55,599
Speaker 2: Bills two and oh start is mainly due to blank.

2139
01:50:56,040 --> 01:50:58,320
Speaker 2: You let us know what that blank should be filled

2140
01:50:58,320 --> 01:51:00,479
Speaker 2: in with at aight O three oh five fifty one

2141
01:51:00,640 --> 01:51:02,800
Speaker 2: eighty eight five fifty two five fifty and we go

2142
01:51:02,880 --> 01:51:05,479
Speaker 2: to Ryan and Toronto next. What do you got for us? Ryan,

2143
01:51:05,520 --> 01:51:06,360
Speaker 2: You're on One Bill's Live.

2144
01:51:07,360 --> 01:51:11,160
Speaker 6: Chris Steve loves the show. To your questions, I don't

2145
01:51:11,160 --> 01:51:14,719
Speaker 6: think a lot of teams in the NFL have any

2146
01:51:14,960 --> 01:51:17,960
Speaker 6: tape on the new offense and the defense. That's a

2147
01:51:18,439 --> 01:51:21,719
Speaker 6: number one. Number two. I hope they have new schemes

2148
01:51:21,760 --> 01:51:27,080
Speaker 6: moving forward against the opponents coming up like Jacksonville, Baltimore,

2149
01:51:27,640 --> 01:51:30,880
Speaker 6: the Jets, Houston, because these teams are going to be

2150
01:51:30,960 --> 01:51:35,080
Speaker 6: desperate because that Jacksonville is owing to Baltimore plays in

2151
01:51:35,160 --> 01:51:38,320
Speaker 6: Dallas this week, and you guys, and then that Bills

2152
01:51:38,360 --> 01:51:41,920
Speaker 6: played the week after in Baltimore, so it's going to

2153
01:51:42,000 --> 01:51:43,680
Speaker 6: be key. They had to change it up, and they

2154
01:51:43,680 --> 01:51:46,400
Speaker 6: had to make sure that they have new schemes almost

2155
01:51:46,400 --> 01:51:46,920
Speaker 6: every game.

2156
01:51:47,200 --> 01:51:48,240
Speaker 4: Thank you, all right?

2157
01:51:48,320 --> 01:51:51,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that's a fair assessment. I don't I mean,

2158
01:51:51,400 --> 01:51:53,720
Speaker 2: obviously the game plan changes every week. I don't know

2159
01:51:53,760 --> 01:51:56,439
Speaker 2: if the scheme does necessarily, but I think I get

2160
01:51:56,439 --> 01:52:00,240
Speaker 2: what you're getting at there. And look, Joe Brady and

2161
01:52:00,280 --> 01:52:04,400
Speaker 2: Bobby Babbage. You know, it's a small sample, but through

2162
01:52:04,439 --> 01:52:07,200
Speaker 2: the first two weeks, I think they've proven that when

2163
01:52:07,240 --> 01:52:10,080
Speaker 2: they need to come up with answers, they've had them,

2164
01:52:10,200 --> 01:52:13,439
Speaker 2: and then the players in turn have made them look

2165
01:52:13,479 --> 01:52:14,360
Speaker 2: good by executing.

2166
01:52:14,439 --> 01:52:16,880
Speaker 3: Yea, and Ryan made it. He does make a good point.

2167
01:52:16,880 --> 01:52:19,840
Speaker 3: It is it was Bill's offense from a year ago

2168
01:52:20,320 --> 01:52:22,760
Speaker 3: under Joe Brady, would think, but also with a bunch

2169
01:52:22,800 --> 01:52:24,679
Speaker 3: of new faces, you really didn't know what the Bills

2170
01:52:24,720 --> 01:52:27,000
Speaker 3: had as a toolbox, so you didn't know where their

2171
01:52:27,040 --> 01:52:30,840
Speaker 3: strength was going to lie. So it was a you know,

2172
01:52:31,000 --> 01:52:33,400
Speaker 3: crap shoot for the Arizona Cardinals to game plan against

2173
01:52:33,400 --> 01:52:35,479
Speaker 3: the Bills like it is every other team in the

2174
01:52:35,520 --> 01:52:38,040
Speaker 3: league on opening days. Certainly there was that, but I'll

2175
01:52:38,040 --> 01:52:41,080
Speaker 3: say this. The Bills adjusted way better in the second

2176
01:52:41,120 --> 01:52:43,760
Speaker 3: half of the Arizona game than the Arizona Cardinals coaching

2177
01:52:43,800 --> 01:52:48,880
Speaker 3: staff did. And in this last game Miami, they got

2178
01:52:48,880 --> 01:52:52,879
Speaker 3: a superlative effort from some guys, some unexpected guys. On defense,

2179
01:52:53,520 --> 01:52:56,120
Speaker 3: they overcame those injuries. They lost Bernard in the middle

2180
01:52:56,120 --> 01:53:00,400
Speaker 3: of it, and Speer Spector and JaMarcus Ingram, you know,

2181
01:53:00,520 --> 01:53:03,320
Speaker 3: kind of save the day defensively, along with you know,

2182
01:53:03,560 --> 01:53:09,840
Speaker 3: the sacks Epanessa, ed Oliver and von Miller, those three

2183
01:53:09,840 --> 01:53:12,160
Speaker 3: guys getting in there and Epinessa not getting a sack,

2184
01:53:12,240 --> 01:53:17,160
Speaker 3: but certainly forcing a turnover. So it is a different

2185
01:53:17,160 --> 01:53:19,040
Speaker 3: animal this year. We knew it would be, and sometimes

2186
01:53:19,040 --> 01:53:22,599
Speaker 3: we forget how different it can be. This team, to me, looks.

2187
01:53:23,200 --> 01:53:27,479
Speaker 3: Think about how different this team looks from the twenty

2188
01:53:27,560 --> 01:53:30,080
Speaker 3: twenty edition of the Bills where they were winning over

2189
01:53:30,280 --> 01:53:32,920
Speaker 3: you know that we remember that they they were hanging

2190
01:53:32,920 --> 01:53:35,800
Speaker 3: thirty on everybody. They were beating everybody. It was unbelievable.

2191
01:53:36,520 --> 01:53:42,320
Speaker 3: Josh was, you know, flying high. This team seems like

2192
01:53:42,960 --> 01:53:48,479
Speaker 3: an unstoppable force. They are really hard to find a

2193
01:53:48,520 --> 01:53:53,160
Speaker 3: way around, and they're not They're not They don't have

2194
01:53:53,280 --> 01:53:55,000
Speaker 3: they don't even look like they were even revving the

2195
01:53:55,080 --> 01:53:58,559
Speaker 3: engine on this, except for maybe your defensive front. Yeah,

2196
01:53:59,720 --> 01:54:02,400
Speaker 3: it's a different animal, and I think teams are still

2197
01:54:02,400 --> 01:54:03,519
Speaker 3: getting their mind around it.

2198
01:54:04,200 --> 01:54:06,880
Speaker 2: Let's go to Rob in Rochester next. What do you

2199
01:54:06,880 --> 01:54:08,960
Speaker 2: got first, Rob, Hey?

2200
01:54:09,000 --> 01:54:09,639
Speaker 18: A couple of things.

2201
01:54:09,920 --> 01:54:12,519
Speaker 4: First, The word I want to use is balance, a

2202
01:54:12,760 --> 01:54:16,400
Speaker 4: balance between offense, defense and special teams minus the kickoff

2203
01:54:16,439 --> 01:54:19,160
Speaker 4: return obviously. Yeah, but I don't know what the percentages

2204
01:54:19,240 --> 01:54:22,439
Speaker 4: on run pass for the for the years so far,

2205
01:54:22,520 --> 01:54:24,000
Speaker 4: but they got to be up there in the league.

2206
01:54:25,080 --> 01:54:29,599
Speaker 4: And then number two, you and Mike Brown were at

2207
01:54:29,640 --> 01:54:33,600
Speaker 4: the last day of training camp taking a photo with

2208
01:54:34,360 --> 01:54:36,160
Speaker 4: I believe it was your wives and an older gentleman,

2209
01:54:36,720 --> 01:54:40,320
Speaker 4: and if you look over Steve Tasker's right shoulder, you

2210
01:54:40,440 --> 01:54:41,600
Speaker 4: might see my face.

2211
01:54:42,360 --> 01:54:47,520
Speaker 2: All right, all right, fair enough. I do like your

2212
01:54:47,640 --> 01:54:51,240
Speaker 2: your description of the word usage of balance to fill

2213
01:54:51,240 --> 01:54:54,040
Speaker 2: in the blank. I think that has been pretty integral

2214
01:54:54,120 --> 01:54:57,800
Speaker 2: in the offensive success here because they're kind of showing

2215
01:54:57,840 --> 01:55:02,080
Speaker 2: teams yet we don't have to rely solely on Josh

2216
01:55:02,520 --> 01:55:06,680
Speaker 2: to get things accomplished offensively. Last week was probably the

2217
01:55:06,680 --> 01:55:11,400
Speaker 2: best example. But if you think about it, in week one, yes,

2218
01:55:11,520 --> 01:55:14,800
Speaker 2: Josh had to do some spectacular things to kind of

2219
01:55:15,000 --> 01:55:17,080
Speaker 2: put them back ahead on the scoreboard. But he didn't

2220
01:55:17,080 --> 01:55:19,800
Speaker 2: have to do everything from start to finish in the game,

2221
01:55:19,840 --> 01:55:20,880
Speaker 2: I guess, is what I'm getting at.

2222
01:55:20,960 --> 01:55:23,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, And in fact, even the sack strip fumble is

2223
01:55:23,760 --> 01:55:26,600
Speaker 3: really what kind of set them back. And I think

2224
01:55:26,840 --> 01:55:29,160
Speaker 3: the fact that the defense got its wheels under it

2225
01:55:29,160 --> 01:55:31,080
Speaker 3: only allowed three points in the second half gave me

2226
01:55:31,120 --> 01:55:32,480
Speaker 3: a chance to get back in it as well. So

2227
01:55:32,520 --> 01:55:35,320
Speaker 3: even then it became more balanced. In the second half.

2228
01:55:35,400 --> 01:55:38,960
Speaker 3: Josh had four touchdowns, two running, two passing. But the

2229
01:55:40,280 --> 01:55:42,520
Speaker 3: point of the matter is, and it falls into what

2230
01:55:42,560 --> 01:55:46,600
Speaker 3: you're saying, they were balanced enough that Arizona was not

2231
01:55:46,640 --> 01:55:49,680
Speaker 3: going to run off and leave them, and the Bills

2232
01:55:49,840 --> 01:55:53,160
Speaker 3: offense was good enough to get back into it right

2233
01:55:53,200 --> 01:55:55,280
Speaker 3: at halftime to go to seventeen to ten, and that

2234
01:55:55,400 --> 01:55:57,280
Speaker 3: was a huge difference because then they came out and

2235
01:55:57,280 --> 01:55:58,720
Speaker 3: got the ball in the second half and you're back

2236
01:55:58,760 --> 01:56:02,919
Speaker 3: on schedule with with the possessions. So yeah, the balance

2237
01:56:03,000 --> 01:56:08,160
Speaker 3: thing is big in this and I think, and I

2238
01:56:08,200 --> 01:56:11,560
Speaker 3: think not just as is balanced, but there was strength

2239
01:56:11,640 --> 01:56:14,960
Speaker 3: on both sides of the scale, you know what I'm saying. Yeah,

2240
01:56:14,960 --> 01:56:17,600
Speaker 3: they were balanced because their offense was really good in moments,

2241
01:56:17,680 --> 01:56:21,640
Speaker 3: and so was their defense. And when you're doing that, man,

2242
01:56:21,920 --> 01:56:25,040
Speaker 3: you look really solid, and we didn't have I don't

2243
01:56:25,040 --> 01:56:27,320
Speaker 3: even There was a couple of spectacular plays in that game,

2244
01:56:27,400 --> 01:56:30,200
Speaker 3: no question, to catch by Keon Coleman is the one

2245
01:56:30,000 --> 01:56:32,520
Speaker 3: I gather. And then in the Miami game there was

2246
01:56:32,560 --> 01:56:34,480
Speaker 3: a couple of others that were big. The Ty Johnson

2247
01:56:34,520 --> 01:56:36,840
Speaker 3: throw down, the sideline of course, James Cook and the

2248
01:56:36,880 --> 01:56:40,120
Speaker 3: pick six. Yes, But other than that, they all they

2249
01:56:40,120 --> 01:56:44,160
Speaker 3: look really really strong in every facet of the game.

2250
01:56:45,280 --> 01:56:50,880
Speaker 3: And that's I don't know, it's weird. I don't know

2251
01:56:50,840 --> 01:56:52,720
Speaker 3: how any other say, other way to say it. They

2252
01:56:52,800 --> 01:56:56,520
Speaker 3: really look like they have no weaknesses, you know, And

2253
01:56:56,600 --> 01:56:59,840
Speaker 3: that's weird thing to say, because most teams have should

2254
01:57:00,200 --> 01:57:03,600
Speaker 3: They had one penalty for five yards, right, so it's

2255
01:57:03,760 --> 01:57:06,520
Speaker 3: like not even that we missed a forty what forty

2256
01:57:06,560 --> 01:57:09,280
Speaker 3: two yard field goal? Okay, that might have you know,

2257
01:57:09,360 --> 01:57:12,800
Speaker 3: that was nice. That's it. We had the kickoff return

2258
01:57:12,840 --> 01:57:16,480
Speaker 3: in the first game, okay, well, you know, everybody was

2259
01:57:16,560 --> 01:57:20,760
Speaker 3: kind of feeling their way around that. We'll see, but man,

2260
01:57:20,800 --> 01:57:26,040
Speaker 3: oh man, that's why a lot of people were on

2261
01:57:26,320 --> 01:57:28,600
Speaker 3: my tech my phone. My phone was blown up yesterday

2262
01:57:28,640 --> 01:57:31,840
Speaker 3: during football because everybody nobody was watching the Bills game, right,

2263
01:57:32,800 --> 01:57:34,720
Speaker 3: and everybody's like, you know, the rest of the league

2264
01:57:34,720 --> 01:57:39,960
Speaker 3: looks bad at times, and the Bills never looked like

2265
01:57:40,000 --> 01:57:40,879
Speaker 3: any of those teams.

2266
01:57:42,440 --> 01:57:44,560
Speaker 2: I think the only team that's looked sexier is probably

2267
01:57:44,600 --> 01:57:49,320
Speaker 2: the Saints. Yeah, yeah, because they've made it look easy

2268
01:57:49,480 --> 01:57:51,360
Speaker 2: the first two weeks, but they played a cupcake in

2269
01:57:51,400 --> 01:57:57,680
Speaker 2: Carolina Week one. Rich in Rochester asked what the balance

2270
01:57:57,800 --> 01:58:00,760
Speaker 2: is between run and pass. I've got it for you.

2271
01:58:00,800 --> 01:58:03,480
Speaker 2: I looked it up while Steve was talking, and Uh,

2272
01:58:03,720 --> 01:58:06,040
Speaker 2: They've run one hundred and three plays on offense so

2273
01:58:06,120 --> 01:58:12,480
Speaker 2: far this season, seven touchdowns, fifty nine runs, forty two

2274
01:58:12,600 --> 01:58:16,720
Speaker 2: pass attempts soft They are a fifty seven percent run

2275
01:58:16,760 --> 01:58:19,640
Speaker 2: team through the first two weeks, which is five percent

2276
01:58:19,720 --> 01:58:21,800
Speaker 2: higher than what they were under Joe Brady down the

2277
01:58:21,800 --> 01:58:25,600
Speaker 2: stretch last year. If that gives you any indication given

2278
01:58:25,640 --> 01:58:27,520
Speaker 2: them which way they been leaning you Also, we were

2279
01:58:27,560 --> 01:58:30,000
Speaker 2: sitting getting ready for the show and you've spouted out

2280
01:58:30,040 --> 01:58:32,720
Speaker 2: that statistic that is the lowest amount.

2281
01:58:32,600 --> 01:58:35,640
Speaker 3: Of passing the yards in the game per gabbage on

2282
01:58:35,800 --> 01:58:40,520
Speaker 3: average in the NFL since nineteen ninety six. Six nineteen

2283
01:58:40,600 --> 01:58:43,280
Speaker 3: ninety six. It's been since there's been fewer passing yards

2284
01:58:43,760 --> 01:58:46,200
Speaker 3: on an opening per game on opening couple of weekends.

2285
01:58:46,560 --> 01:58:51,320
Speaker 3: So it's not just the Bills, it's league wide.

2286
01:58:52,000 --> 01:58:53,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's pretty cool.

2287
01:58:53,800 --> 01:58:53,920
Speaker 4: Uh.

2288
01:58:54,200 --> 01:58:56,600
Speaker 2: We are up against the clock here, but we're going

2289
01:58:56,640 --> 01:58:58,920
Speaker 2: to take your phone calls when we come back. So

2290
01:58:59,320 --> 01:59:02,400
Speaker 2: Mark in Jersey City, LJ in Rochester, Bill and West Seneca.

2291
01:59:02,480 --> 01:59:04,240
Speaker 2: We'll get to all three of you when we return.

2292
01:59:05,360 --> 01:59:08,400
Speaker 2: It's One Bill's Live, presented by Colida Health. This is

2293
01:59:08,480 --> 01:59:22,520
Speaker 2: Buffalo Bills Radio. All right, here we are on a

2294
01:59:22,560 --> 01:59:25,839
Speaker 2: Buffalo football Monday, One Bill's Live. Chris Brown, Steve Tasker

2295
01:59:25,880 --> 01:59:28,080
Speaker 2: with you, and right back to the phones we go.

2296
01:59:28,640 --> 01:59:30,920
Speaker 2: We are asking you today to fill in the blank.

2297
01:59:31,880 --> 01:59:35,360
Speaker 2: The Bills two and oh start is mainly due to blank.

2298
01:59:36,640 --> 01:59:38,080
Speaker 2: You fill that one in for us at eight oh

2299
01:59:38,120 --> 01:59:40,520
Speaker 2: three oh five fifty one eighty eight five fifty two

2300
01:59:40,640 --> 01:59:42,360
Speaker 2: five fifty. You got some open lines for you there.

2301
01:59:42,720 --> 01:59:44,640
Speaker 2: But we go to Mark in Jersey City next.

2302
01:59:44,720 --> 01:59:50,800
Speaker 18: What's up Mark, Good afternoon, gentlemen. Thanks taking my call today.

2303
01:59:51,000 --> 01:59:54,840
Speaker 18: I think about you, Steve, your friend, you know, long

2304
01:59:54,960 --> 01:59:57,600
Speaker 18: loved Bill Frank, you know he got run there last year.

2305
01:59:57,640 --> 01:59:59,720
Speaker 18: And look what's going on there today. I mean, he's

2306
01:59:59,720 --> 02:00:02,680
Speaker 18: been a victim of some really horrible owners, and I

2307
02:00:02,840 --> 02:00:05,640
Speaker 18: know that the great's on you sometimes and it does

2308
02:00:05,760 --> 02:00:09,760
Speaker 18: some Bills fans, but it's unfortunate. Bills are part and

2309
02:00:09,880 --> 02:00:16,280
Speaker 18: parcel why coaching infrastructure period. I remember Dick Jaron got

2310
02:00:16,360 --> 02:00:19,120
Speaker 18: up to the podium one time and said, the entire

2311
02:00:19,240 --> 02:00:22,960
Speaker 18: game is a crisis, and this coaching staff, this regime

2312
02:00:23,040 --> 02:00:26,680
Speaker 18: handles it better than maybe anybody in the league. And

2313
02:00:26,760 --> 02:00:28,760
Speaker 18: I don't think they get their flowers enough. There was

2314
02:00:28,840 --> 02:00:31,440
Speaker 18: one of those polls or surveys that were put out

2315
02:00:31,760 --> 02:00:35,560
Speaker 18: along the lines of Josh being overrated or something like that,

2316
02:00:35,760 --> 02:00:38,960
Speaker 18: or player rankings, and the staff of the Bills was

2317
02:00:39,080 --> 02:00:40,960
Speaker 18: ranked in the top ten, but near the bottom.

2318
02:00:42,040 --> 02:00:46,200
Speaker 15: Teams like Miami were ranked ahead of them a few others,

2319
02:00:46,240 --> 02:00:48,640
Speaker 15: and I just think, you know, it's the cool the

2320
02:00:48,720 --> 02:00:51,520
Speaker 15: new kids, the fun kids always get like a little

2321
02:00:51,560 --> 02:00:55,520
Speaker 15: bit more clout and mcdermot's kind of, you know, close

2322
02:00:55,560 --> 02:00:58,640
Speaker 15: to the vests, a little bit straight laced. And that's

2323
02:00:58,760 --> 02:01:02,560
Speaker 15: not the defense, not offensive. That's always sexier. I just

2324
02:01:02,640 --> 02:01:04,800
Speaker 15: think you look around the league all the They took

2325
02:01:04,840 --> 02:01:07,120
Speaker 15: a lot of heat for releasing some guys. You know

2326
02:01:07,280 --> 02:01:10,000
Speaker 15: there's a reason why Marvin Harrison Junior got shut down

2327
02:01:10,000 --> 02:01:11,880
Speaker 15: in Week one. He saw what he did the trade

2328
02:01:11,920 --> 02:01:16,480
Speaker 15: white yesterday, that safety that Trevor took. Go look who

2329
02:01:16,520 --> 02:01:21,440
Speaker 15: got blown up on that? The former Bill Motor fumbling

2330
02:01:21,560 --> 02:01:25,920
Speaker 15: after a great run. Have we seen that before? So yeah,

2331
02:01:26,120 --> 02:01:29,400
Speaker 15: I think that we just look on that sideline. I

2332
02:01:29,440 --> 02:01:31,320
Speaker 15: think we need to appreciate what we have instead of

2333
02:01:31,360 --> 02:01:33,640
Speaker 15: always complaining about it. Thanks for taking my call, guys.

2334
02:01:33,480 --> 02:01:35,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, sure thing, Martin. I mean, I remember I got

2335
02:01:35,800 --> 02:01:40,240
Speaker 2: flak last year. I called Sean McDermott a genius on

2336
02:01:40,440 --> 02:01:43,880
Speaker 2: defense after the forty eight to twenty win over the Dolphins,

2337
02:01:43,920 --> 02:01:46,560
Speaker 2: who had just hung seventy the week before. It was

2338
02:01:46,600 --> 02:01:49,200
Speaker 2: a masterful game plan. I mean, they completely shut down

2339
02:01:49,240 --> 02:01:52,400
Speaker 2: the Dolphins who were killing it at the time, and

2340
02:01:52,560 --> 02:01:54,520
Speaker 2: two weeks later when they had a loss. I'm getting

2341
02:01:54,600 --> 02:01:58,080
Speaker 2: beat up because I said, you know, McDermott's genius level coaching.

2342
02:02:00,640 --> 02:02:03,000
Speaker 2: I think I'm right. I'm just gonna say it.

2343
02:02:04,040 --> 02:02:06,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm I'm with you. And it's easy to sit

2344
02:02:06,760 --> 02:02:09,280
Speaker 3: here and globe, you know, and say, yeah, they're you know,

2345
02:02:09,320 --> 02:02:10,680
Speaker 3: the best, because they're too weak.

2346
02:02:10,720 --> 02:02:13,280
Speaker 2: He's not perfect, but no coaches in this league.

2347
02:02:13,120 --> 02:02:17,280
Speaker 3: And he doesn't, you know, act like he is. I'm

2348
02:02:18,080 --> 02:02:21,720
Speaker 3: I just think this, Uh, certainly this coaching staff deserves

2349
02:02:21,760 --> 02:02:27,080
Speaker 3: some credit. Sean McDermott really deserves some credit. And his

2350
02:02:27,360 --> 02:02:32,320
Speaker 3: philosophy is unique. Every philosophy or all these coaches have,

2351
02:02:33,680 --> 02:02:36,880
Speaker 3: they're each unique because if they're doing it right, the

2352
02:02:37,040 --> 02:02:39,840
Speaker 3: coach is himself and he's coaching the best way he

2353
02:02:40,000 --> 02:02:43,320
Speaker 3: thinks he should. He's being true to his own personality

2354
02:02:43,320 --> 02:02:46,040
Speaker 3: and his own skill set and his ability to manage

2355
02:02:46,080 --> 02:02:50,920
Speaker 3: other coaches on his staff. And I don't and Brownie

2356
02:02:50,920 --> 02:02:53,160
Speaker 3: and I most of you know Brownie and I you know,

2357
02:02:53,240 --> 02:02:56,280
Speaker 3: we work for the team, and so we have the

2358
02:02:56,440 --> 02:02:59,760
Speaker 3: opportunity once in a while to have conversations with all

2359
02:02:59,800 --> 02:03:02,160
Speaker 3: these just brief ones. And we don't sit down and

2360
02:03:02,920 --> 02:03:05,840
Speaker 3: have morning coffee every day with him, but we get

2361
02:03:05,880 --> 02:03:08,040
Speaker 3: a chance to cross paths with him and interviews and

2362
02:03:08,120 --> 02:03:11,360
Speaker 3: talking with him and all that. And I rarely, if

2363
02:03:11,480 --> 02:03:14,000
Speaker 3: ever share any of the stuff that I talk to

2364
02:03:14,200 --> 02:03:18,160
Speaker 3: players about or coaches about. But I'll say that one

2365
02:03:18,200 --> 02:03:20,880
Speaker 3: thing that Sean McDermott said to me, and it was

2366
02:03:20,920 --> 02:03:23,840
Speaker 3: on I think we were actually on an interview or

2367
02:03:23,880 --> 02:03:27,440
Speaker 3: something but he said he never wanted any player to

2368
02:03:27,560 --> 02:03:29,880
Speaker 3: come through this building as a player and as a

2369
02:03:29,960 --> 02:03:34,080
Speaker 3: human being to then go on to another team and

2370
02:03:34,160 --> 02:03:37,640
Speaker 3: play better. He wanted every guy in this building to

2371
02:03:37,760 --> 02:03:42,120
Speaker 3: reach their maximum ability to play good football here. He

2372
02:03:42,200 --> 02:03:44,600
Speaker 3: didn't want him to leave and go someplace and play better.

2373
02:03:45,560 --> 02:03:48,400
Speaker 3: His goal and the goal he tries to foster inside

2374
02:03:48,480 --> 02:03:50,480
Speaker 3: the building of one Bill's drive is to make this

2375
02:03:50,600 --> 02:03:54,280
Speaker 3: an atmosphere that is unique to every guy so that

2376
02:03:54,400 --> 02:03:58,120
Speaker 3: they can be their best in whatever environment their personality

2377
02:03:58,760 --> 02:04:01,680
Speaker 3: and their own baggage and their own strengths and weaknesses

2378
02:04:01,720 --> 02:04:04,320
Speaker 3: bring to the table. And to make an environment where

2379
02:04:04,400 --> 02:04:07,640
Speaker 3: that is is it's fertile enough for all of those guys,

2380
02:04:07,720 --> 02:04:10,760
Speaker 3: no matter where they're from, worst case scenarios, a background

2381
02:04:10,800 --> 02:04:13,960
Speaker 3: as a kid, to best case scenarios as as a

2382
02:04:14,040 --> 02:04:16,880
Speaker 3: kid in a background, all of them can thrive here.

2383
02:04:18,600 --> 02:04:20,000
Speaker 3: He never wanted them to go and he place else

2384
02:04:20,000 --> 02:04:22,839
Speaker 3: and play better. In the early goings of this season,

2385
02:04:23,240 --> 02:04:27,800
Speaker 3: we're seeing that that's kind of being held true to

2386
02:04:27,880 --> 02:04:30,480
Speaker 3: all the guys you mentioned, the guys that are here,

2387
02:04:30,720 --> 02:04:35,440
Speaker 3: and look at JaMarcus, you got JaMarcus Ingram, you got

2388
02:04:36,160 --> 02:04:36,960
Speaker 3: Christian Benefit.

2389
02:04:37,000 --> 02:04:37,760
Speaker 2: They're excelling.

2390
02:04:37,880 --> 02:04:44,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're thriving here. That's a unique environment. It really is.

2391
02:04:44,440 --> 02:04:47,839
Speaker 3: It's unique. And I'm not saying that it's gonna continue

2392
02:04:47,840 --> 02:04:50,320
Speaker 3: to do that and every guy's gonna happen because it's

2393
02:04:50,600 --> 02:04:52,960
Speaker 3: there's a mill. Like I said, there's a gazillion moving

2394
02:04:53,080 --> 02:04:56,240
Speaker 3: parts in an NFL team, But for right now, those

2395
02:04:56,280 --> 02:04:58,280
Speaker 3: parts are moving in pretty good concert with each other.

2396
02:04:58,320 --> 02:05:01,400
Speaker 3: And you've got some guys playing well above their station,

2397
02:05:04,320 --> 02:05:06,640
Speaker 3: doing large part because of the environment that is created

2398
02:05:06,680 --> 02:05:09,560
Speaker 3: in this building by the guy. So I'll say that,

2399
02:05:09,840 --> 02:05:12,880
Speaker 3: and I'm not saying he's a tactical genius. And we

2400
02:05:13,000 --> 02:05:15,360
Speaker 3: all know that he had some huge lessons to learn

2401
02:05:15,400 --> 02:05:17,040
Speaker 3: when he got the job here in Buffalo, and we

2402
02:05:17,120 --> 02:05:21,480
Speaker 3: have lived through those painful lessons together. But like I said,

2403
02:05:21,480 --> 02:05:23,400
Speaker 3: when all these you know, we get a call every

2404
02:05:23,480 --> 02:05:25,120
Speaker 3: once in a while, every time there's a loss, somebody

2405
02:05:25,120 --> 02:05:27,760
Speaker 3: wants to call and say he stinks it's time to

2406
02:05:27,880 --> 02:05:30,480
Speaker 3: move on from him, that they're never going to win

2407
02:05:30,560 --> 02:05:34,480
Speaker 3: the super Bowl with Sean McDermott. This is a guy

2408
02:05:34,520 --> 02:05:38,280
Speaker 3: that has learned all those painful lessons we've watched, and

2409
02:05:38,440 --> 02:05:41,440
Speaker 3: I would I think it's a huge mistake to wait

2410
02:05:41,520 --> 02:05:43,680
Speaker 3: on somebody else who's got to learn those again too.

2411
02:05:44,240 --> 02:05:46,320
Speaker 3: So you've got a guy who's made those lessons and

2412
02:05:46,400 --> 02:05:48,440
Speaker 3: his mantra is to get better and better and better.

2413
02:05:48,880 --> 02:05:51,120
Speaker 3: And I don't think you can really make a valid

2414
02:05:51,240 --> 02:05:52,680
Speaker 3: argument that he has not gotten better.

2415
02:05:53,960 --> 02:05:55,480
Speaker 2: He lives it as much as he preaches it.

2416
02:05:55,880 --> 02:05:56,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, he does.

2417
02:05:57,000 --> 02:05:59,600
Speaker 2: Let's get back to the phones into LJ in Rochester

2418
02:06:00,120 --> 02:06:00,560
Speaker 2: for us. LJ.

2419
02:06:01,880 --> 02:06:10,760
Speaker 19: Hi, guys, i have depths, versatility, new blood, coaching, and

2420
02:06:11,000 --> 02:06:13,320
Speaker 19: letting Josh do Josh things.

2421
02:06:13,600 --> 02:06:15,360
Speaker 11: I'm going to hang up the phone and listen to you,

2422
02:06:15,480 --> 02:06:16,440
Speaker 11: guys now, thank you.

2423
02:06:16,720 --> 02:06:21,960
Speaker 2: Okay, filling in the blank with several items.

2424
02:06:22,320 --> 02:06:24,720
Speaker 3: Versatility, new blood, and.

2425
02:06:24,800 --> 02:06:28,640
Speaker 2: Letting Josh do coaching, yep, and letting Josh do Josh things.

2426
02:06:28,440 --> 02:06:32,080
Speaker 3: And letting Josh do Josh things. Okay, there's a lot

2427
02:06:32,160 --> 02:06:32,360
Speaker 3: in that.

2428
02:06:33,080 --> 02:06:37,400
Speaker 2: There is. I think the key thing with letting Josh

2429
02:06:37,520 --> 02:06:40,960
Speaker 2: do Josh things is allowing him the freedom to turn

2430
02:06:41,080 --> 02:06:45,040
Speaker 2: to those special things that he does when they're warranted.

2431
02:06:45,720 --> 02:06:48,520
Speaker 2: If you can convince Josh that there is enough around

2432
02:06:48,600 --> 02:06:51,400
Speaker 2: him to help him carry the load. As we saw

2433
02:06:51,520 --> 02:06:54,640
Speaker 2: last week, he's more than happy to just act as

2434
02:06:54,640 --> 02:06:59,120
Speaker 2: a facilitator rather than a dominator, and if that can continue,

2435
02:06:59,640 --> 02:07:04,000
Speaker 2: I think that that increases the longevity of Josh's own

2436
02:07:04,040 --> 02:07:06,560
Speaker 2: career because now he's not taking the same pounding he

2437
02:07:06,680 --> 02:07:08,000
Speaker 2: has the last three or four years.

2438
02:07:08,520 --> 02:07:12,440
Speaker 3: I don't want to oversimplify it or over generalize, but

2439
02:07:12,800 --> 02:07:15,520
Speaker 3: when Josh walks on the field, there's not too many

2440
02:07:15,560 --> 02:07:19,919
Speaker 3: players on the field that are more able to dominate

2441
02:07:20,120 --> 02:07:22,680
Speaker 3: and to control whatever happens on the field more than

2442
02:07:22,760 --> 02:07:25,680
Speaker 3: Josh is now as a quarterback. That lends itself to

2443
02:07:25,760 --> 02:07:29,280
Speaker 3: that anyway. But imagine you're being that guy like Josh

2444
02:07:29,320 --> 02:07:31,520
Speaker 3: and you go down and I think back to that

2445
02:07:31,720 --> 02:07:34,840
Speaker 3: last game of his rookie season, Brownie, when when the

2446
02:07:35,120 --> 02:07:36,720
Speaker 3: Charles Klake dropped.

2447
02:07:36,440 --> 02:07:39,080
Speaker 2: At the Yeah, that was twenty and nineteen. I think,

2448
02:07:39,120 --> 02:07:39,520
Speaker 2: all right, his.

2449
02:07:39,480 --> 02:07:43,440
Speaker 3: Second year, they're going to the playoffs, and he does.

2450
02:07:43,800 --> 02:07:46,920
Speaker 3: I mean Josh literally was like.

2451
02:07:47,160 --> 02:07:48,240
Speaker 2: He put the team on his back.

2452
02:07:48,520 --> 02:07:52,800
Speaker 3: He carried the entire team on his back while while

2453
02:07:52,960 --> 02:07:56,800
Speaker 3: trampling the Dolphins. They lost that game, but not because

2454
02:07:56,840 --> 02:08:02,680
Speaker 3: of him, Right, So he's that good? How much how

2455
02:08:03,240 --> 02:08:05,600
Speaker 3: long does it take for these guys around him, like

2456
02:08:05,680 --> 02:08:10,400
Speaker 3: Khalil Shakir ken Kaid, the offensive line coleman Curtis Samuel,

2457
02:08:10,960 --> 02:08:14,560
Speaker 3: Joe Brady, all these guys. How long is it going

2458
02:08:14,600 --> 02:08:16,160
Speaker 3: to take for them to get to a point where

2459
02:08:16,160 --> 02:08:19,520
Speaker 3: they can prove they are good enough that when push

2460
02:08:19,600 --> 02:08:23,680
Speaker 3: comes to shove, Josh can depend on them easier and

2461
02:08:23,800 --> 02:08:25,840
Speaker 3: better than he can depend on himself. A guy who's

2462
02:08:25,880 --> 02:08:29,600
Speaker 3: capable of carrying the entire franchise on his back week

2463
02:08:29,680 --> 02:08:32,840
Speaker 3: after week, it takes a lot of proof for him

2464
02:08:32,880 --> 02:08:36,040
Speaker 3: to get out of that mindset. Some guys never get

2465
02:08:36,080 --> 02:08:39,960
Speaker 3: out of that mindset. Josh, I think, has gotten there

2466
02:08:40,600 --> 02:08:43,200
Speaker 3: on a handful of occasions over here in the last

2467
02:08:43,240 --> 02:08:45,240
Speaker 3: half of last season and now the first two games

2468
02:08:45,280 --> 02:08:48,000
Speaker 3: of this season. It's becoming more and more common for

2469
02:08:48,120 --> 02:08:51,240
Speaker 3: him to trust other guys to help him shoulder the

2470
02:08:51,320 --> 02:08:57,640
Speaker 3: burden of the entire franchise, even in critical moments, and

2471
02:08:57,760 --> 02:08:59,839
Speaker 3: I think that's a much healthier place for the franchise

2472
02:08:59,840 --> 02:09:02,920
Speaker 3: to being. It spells good things going forward. He's got

2473
02:09:02,960 --> 02:09:07,440
Speaker 3: guys he he will throw the football too. There's a play,

2474
02:09:07,600 --> 02:09:10,240
Speaker 3: just a nondescript little blitz pick up that they had

2475
02:09:10,320 --> 02:09:13,280
Speaker 3: where they sent two guys up the middle. They both

2476
02:09:13,360 --> 02:09:16,000
Speaker 3: came free, Josh stood in the pocket, didn't move, and

2477
02:09:16,320 --> 02:09:19,600
Speaker 3: side armed it out to the flat to cut to

2478
02:09:19,720 --> 02:09:22,440
Speaker 3: Shakir for a first down on a third and whatever

2479
02:09:24,000 --> 02:09:26,320
Speaker 3: it was, it was a high level play that looked

2480
02:09:26,560 --> 02:09:29,800
Speaker 3: easy because it was Josh and everybody did the exact

2481
02:09:29,920 --> 02:09:35,400
Speaker 3: right thing. That didn't happen before Josh would be spinning

2482
02:09:35,440 --> 02:09:37,720
Speaker 3: out of there, running around and you know, trying to

2483
02:09:37,760 --> 02:09:42,320
Speaker 3: run for it. He's come a long way, and as

2484
02:09:42,600 --> 02:09:46,160
Speaker 3: capable as he is, I think you always get that

2485
02:09:46,240 --> 02:09:51,360
Speaker 3: sugar high josh An opening weekend four touchdowns, but man,

2486
02:09:51,440 --> 02:09:54,040
Speaker 3: oh man, this week two game to a team that

2487
02:09:54,120 --> 02:09:57,920
Speaker 3: he usually like stomps, he's like and he's like light

2488
02:09:58,040 --> 02:10:00,760
Speaker 3: years ahead of the game in those games. And he

2489
02:10:00,920 --> 02:10:05,000
Speaker 3: just said, you know what, I get a participation trophy

2490
02:10:05,080 --> 02:10:11,120
Speaker 3: this week. He's come a long way. He's a different dude, And.

2491
02:10:11,200 --> 02:10:13,400
Speaker 2: Maybe that is something you could use to fill in

2492
02:10:13,480 --> 02:10:15,200
Speaker 2: the blank as the Bill's tu and O start is

2493
02:10:15,240 --> 02:10:18,360
Speaker 2: mainly due to what That's what we've been asking all day.

2494
02:10:18,760 --> 02:10:20,400
Speaker 2: We're going to spin it over to the tweet sheet,

2495
02:10:20,520 --> 02:10:22,920
Speaker 2: brought to you by Corrigan Moving Systems, the official equipment

2496
02:10:23,000 --> 02:10:29,200
Speaker 2: moving company the Buffalo. Bills and Will says teamwork. Teamwork

2497
02:10:29,480 --> 02:10:33,280
Speaker 2: is what makes the dream work. So he thinks that's

2498
02:10:33,320 --> 02:10:35,280
Speaker 2: why the Bills are off to a two and oh start,

2499
02:10:35,320 --> 02:10:39,280
Speaker 2: and certainly they've had to pull together steve with some

2500
02:10:39,440 --> 02:10:42,160
Speaker 2: of the adversity they have faced in terms of player injury.

2501
02:10:42,960 --> 02:10:45,520
Speaker 2: You know, Dorian Williams getting ready for the opener in

2502
02:10:45,600 --> 02:10:49,120
Speaker 2: the absence of Amalano. Yeah, you know Baile inspector stepping

2503
02:10:49,160 --> 02:10:52,160
Speaker 2: in last week, cam Lewis stepping in for Taron Johnson,

2504
02:10:52,520 --> 02:10:54,920
Speaker 2: JaMarcus Ingram having to step in in cam Lewis's role

2505
02:10:54,920 --> 02:10:58,880
Speaker 2: in the diing package. So yeah, teamwork has been a

2506
02:10:58,920 --> 02:11:01,600
Speaker 2: big part of that. David on the tweets sheet says,

2507
02:11:01,640 --> 02:11:05,680
Speaker 2: solid coaching from the top all the way down. You

2508
02:11:05,760 --> 02:11:09,720
Speaker 2: have two new coordinators this year, full time, permanent basis,

2509
02:11:10,560 --> 02:11:14,560
Speaker 2: and thus far they've done pretty well. I mean, outside

2510
02:11:14,600 --> 02:11:16,840
Speaker 2: of the slow first half by the defense in Week one,

2511
02:11:17,520 --> 02:11:19,160
Speaker 2: they got it in gear in a hurry coming out

2512
02:11:19,160 --> 02:11:20,680
Speaker 2: of the locker room in the second half of that game,

2513
02:11:20,760 --> 02:11:23,160
Speaker 2: gave up only three points, you know, and the Bills

2514
02:11:23,200 --> 02:11:29,280
Speaker 2: get a Week one win. Christopher says, everyone's contributions offense, defense,

2515
02:11:29,360 --> 02:11:32,720
Speaker 2: special teams and coaches. We look at Christopher making it

2516
02:11:32,760 --> 02:11:35,960
Speaker 2: a totalitarian effort.

2517
02:11:36,080 --> 02:11:36,440
Speaker 8: There you go.

2518
02:11:37,520 --> 02:11:41,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, we've seen flashes of all of that. Stuff. It's interesting.

2519
02:11:42,320 --> 02:11:47,600
Speaker 3: It's fun to hear what everybody observes and what they

2520
02:11:47,680 --> 02:11:50,240
Speaker 3: think the real reason is. But and you have to

2521
02:11:50,280 --> 02:11:52,240
Speaker 3: spend because it has been two games. He's kind of

2522
02:11:52,240 --> 02:11:54,400
Speaker 3: a more of a general kind of question. And what's

2523
02:11:54,440 --> 02:11:56,880
Speaker 3: different about this team that they're two to zero and

2524
02:11:57,880 --> 02:11:59,640
Speaker 3: everybody else in the division's one and one.

2525
02:12:00,760 --> 02:12:04,000
Speaker 2: Justine Marie on the tweets sheet says, everyone doing their job,

2526
02:12:04,760 --> 02:12:07,600
Speaker 2: no one having to play hero ball, which is what

2527
02:12:07,720 --> 02:12:10,560
Speaker 2: we just got into concerning Josh, who's been the guy

2528
02:12:10,600 --> 02:12:13,440
Speaker 2: that has had to play hero ball more often than

2529
02:12:13,520 --> 02:12:17,080
Speaker 2: not the last few years. We are up against the clock.

2530
02:12:17,120 --> 02:12:18,440
Speaker 2: Got to take a break here, but Steve and I

2531
02:12:18,520 --> 02:12:20,040
Speaker 2: close it up with some final thoughts on the tweet

2532
02:12:20,080 --> 02:12:21,760
Speaker 2: sheet next year on one Bill's Live stay with us,

2533
02:12:38,680 --> 02:12:41,200
Speaker 2: some final thoughts on the tweet sheet here, as we

2534
02:12:41,280 --> 02:12:42,720
Speaker 2: have been asking you to fill in the blank. The

2535
02:12:42,720 --> 02:12:46,080
Speaker 2: Bill's tu Ando start is mainly due to what Debbie says,

2536
02:12:46,120 --> 02:12:50,120
Speaker 2: play calling, an execution being on point, and no penalties.

2537
02:12:51,040 --> 02:12:55,000
Speaker 2: One penalty in the road game last Thursday. George says

2538
02:12:55,080 --> 02:12:58,000
Speaker 2: defense playing better than expected for the last six quarters.

2539
02:12:59,080 --> 02:13:01,080
Speaker 2: We're a lot of unknown it's going into the season.

2540
02:13:01,160 --> 02:13:04,920
Speaker 2: But even with some of the knowns that have been

2541
02:13:04,960 --> 02:13:07,640
Speaker 2: subtracted from the lineup, Viya injury, it's still been good.

2542
02:13:07,680 --> 02:13:10,000
Speaker 3: Well that's the thing too. You think, well, maybe the

2543
02:13:10,040 --> 02:13:12,480
Speaker 3: Arizona offense wasn't going to be all of that or whatever,

2544
02:13:12,560 --> 02:13:14,839
Speaker 3: and then the Arizona goes on the road and they

2545
02:13:14,960 --> 02:13:19,360
Speaker 3: wipe up Miami. They had the number one offense in

2546
02:13:19,400 --> 02:13:20,920
Speaker 3: the league last year. Think well, maybe they're going to

2547
02:13:20,960 --> 02:13:22,960
Speaker 3: take a step back, And maybe they will now with

2548
02:13:23,080 --> 02:13:26,360
Speaker 3: Tua out of the saddle, But no reason to think

2549
02:13:26,360 --> 02:13:27,720
Speaker 3: they were going to take a step back. They had

2550
02:13:27,800 --> 02:13:29,200
Speaker 3: high hopes of winning the division.

2551
02:13:29,320 --> 02:13:31,240
Speaker 2: So I don't know.

2552
02:13:31,320 --> 02:13:35,040
Speaker 3: The defense really has shown up, and credit Bob Babbage

2553
02:13:35,240 --> 02:13:37,960
Speaker 3: and McDermott for putting a lid on it, particularly with

2554
02:13:38,080 --> 02:13:38,640
Speaker 3: the injuries.

2555
02:13:38,800 --> 02:13:40,640
Speaker 2: That's what Vince is doing because he fills in the

2556
02:13:40,680 --> 02:13:45,280
Speaker 2: blank with advanced planning, hard work, Josh Allen's offensive diversity,

2557
02:13:45,400 --> 02:13:49,760
Speaker 2: Bobby Babbage's defensive play calling, and the dB whisper Sean McDermott.

2558
02:13:50,840 --> 02:13:53,240
Speaker 3: There is something about the defensive backfield. All the guys

2559
02:13:53,240 --> 02:13:54,840
Speaker 3: that have come through here over the years that have

2560
02:13:54,920 --> 02:13:58,600
Speaker 3: played really well. I mean it started with Levi Wallace.

2561
02:13:58,840 --> 02:14:02,440
Speaker 3: Remember that we had a undrafted, drafted rookie player coming

2562
02:14:02,480 --> 02:14:05,000
Speaker 3: in and a one year starter at Alabama started for

2563
02:14:05,520 --> 02:14:07,160
Speaker 3: four years for this franchise.

2564
02:14:09,600 --> 02:14:13,240
Speaker 2: Matt on the tweets sheet says, letting James Cook. Speaking

2565
02:14:13,280 --> 02:14:15,680
Speaker 2: of James, he's up for the FedEx Ground Player of

2566
02:14:15,720 --> 02:14:18,200
Speaker 2: the Week for his week to performance. I don't know

2567
02:14:18,280 --> 02:14:20,200
Speaker 2: if he's gonna get it, knowing Alvin Kamara had a

2568
02:14:20,240 --> 02:14:23,080
Speaker 2: four touchdown day for the runaway Saints. That's it for

2569
02:14:23,160 --> 02:14:25,560
Speaker 2: us today, another three hour show Tomorrow we'll see at

2570
02:14:25,600 --> 02:14:27,600
Speaker 2: noon live out at Wegman's on McKinley Parkway.
