1
00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:10,560
Speaker 1: At a Steve Tasker who has been all over the fields.

2
00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:12,240
Speaker 1: Kind of unique. He was kind of a dual role

3
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:18,680
Speaker 1: player for you, state Steve a blimp. We're not even

4
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:24,920
Speaker 1: in the strated fear of normalcy here tearing it up

5
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:29,360
Speaker 1: on a Tuesday, Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you. One

6
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:32,080
Speaker 1: Bills Live coming at you from the Seneca Studios in

7
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:35,400
Speaker 1: Orchard Park at one Bill's Drive set to carry you

8
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:39,239
Speaker 1: through the next three hours as we slowly turn the

9
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:43,960
Speaker 1: page from week one to week two. And good news

10
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 1: right off the bat, at least according to coach McDermott

11
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:53,240
Speaker 1: is the injuries sustained by linebackers Tremaine Edmonds and Matt

12
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:57,640
Speaker 1: Milano not deemed to be long term injuries. Those were

13
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 1: coaches words, not mine. Day to day. Put them in

14
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 1: the day to day category. He also included del Sean Phillips,

15
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 1: another linebacker who sustained a quad injury in the game

16
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 1: on Sunday, and Tyrell Dodson, who exited the game late.

17
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 1: Tayler Matacavic came in for him for the last three

18
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:19,679
Speaker 1: plays on defense. He put them in the day to

19
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 1: day category as well. Now we should say there have

20
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 1: been instances where the day to day designation does not

21
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 1: ensure that that player is playing on Sunday. So we're

22
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:33,040
Speaker 1: really going to have to see how this plays out

23
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:34,959
Speaker 1: through the course of the week and who's on the

24
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,759
Speaker 1: practice field tomorrow. Who's getting an extra day of rest

25
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 1: to let something heal up potentially, So it's really a

26
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:44,400
Speaker 1: wait and see. The only thing it really tells us

27
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:46,039
Speaker 1: is none of these guys are probably headed to the

28
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 1: three week i R right, Yeah, right, They're not gone

29
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 1: for the season. That's about Nobody is on IR unless

30
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 1: specifically designin. That's what I'm saying. They're not gone for

31
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 1: the season, and they probably even if they go to IR.

32
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 1: All that says is that this injuries weren't had astrophic

33
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 1: for their season. They may miss some time, but we

34
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 1: don't know how much time that's going to be. Probably

35
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 1: won't miss. They probably will miss some practices, take some

36
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:10,360
Speaker 1: days off, that kind of thing. Or they could go

37
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 1: straight to the IR for three weeks. We might miss

38
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 1: him for a month. We don't know any of that

39
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 1: stuff yet. But we just know too that they probably

40
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:19,399
Speaker 1: will play some more football this season. And that's about it. Yeah,

41
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 1: Monday Night Football Steelers win. They beat the Giants, which

42
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 1: I think was largely expected. Titans win a squeaker over

43
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 1: the Broncos sixteen fourteen, and it probably shouldn't have been

44
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:33,920
Speaker 1: that close when you consider the fact that Stephen Gostowski,

45
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 1: in his debut for the Titans, missed three field goals

46
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 1: in an extra point before finally hitting the game winner

47
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 1: for a two point victory. So so the Tyler Bass

48
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:47,959
Speaker 1: not looking so bad? Is he thirty six year old

49
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 1: Stephen Gustowski? You know, probably if you had a kicker

50
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame, he would be in it. I don't

51
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 1: think it's a rough day. Yeah, that's that is a

52
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 1: rough day. And it's not like the Titans haven't been

53
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 1: down this road before. The Bills game last year in

54
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 1: Week five cost them their kicker missed three kicks. I

55
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:12,360
Speaker 1: can't remember the name of the kicker now now that

56
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 1: I'm thinking about it, I'll have to look that up.

57
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 1: But they've been down this road before. It it cost

58
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 1: them the game. You could argue it cost them the

59
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 1: game against the Bills, and the Bills you could argue

60
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 1: lost a game to the Browns last year right because

61
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 1: Houshka missed some kicks. So every team's been through it.

62
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 1: It is difficult to stomach, and fortunately for the Titans,

63
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 1: they didn't pay for it with a loss. They come

64
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 1: out with a victory. And there was some criticism of

65
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 1: Vic Fangio, the head coach for the Broncos, for not

66
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 1: managing his time outs all that well, right, and there's

67
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 1: always going to be that. I've seen more analytics stuff

68
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 1: going on talking about coaches going forward. On fourth we

69
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 1: had Sean McVay got crushed for doing it. Andy Reid

70
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 1: got praised for going forward. So there's a lot of

71
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 1: that stuff going around. But using time out and I've

72
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 1: always said I can't. I think it's kind of an

73
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 1: out art form. I don't think it's a question about

74
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 1: I think it's hard to know when to do that,

75
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 1: and now they've got all this help doing it. Some

76
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 1: of these coaches, some of the staffs have a guy

77
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 1: that's just the analytics guy on the headset. He's one

78
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 1: of the voices to the head coach who says, hey

79
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 1: take a time out here, Hey this think about going

80
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:23,279
Speaker 1: forward if it's if it's less than one or those

81
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 1: kind of things. Most clubs have a guy who's a

82
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 1: time a timeout coach, a game management coaches, what they

83
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 1: call it, and sometimes they coaches listen to them, sometimes

84
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:37,279
Speaker 1: they don't, and sometimes they listen to them and they're wrong,

85
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:38,720
Speaker 1: and sometimes they listen to them and they're right. I

86
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 1: don't know how you you know, it's a matter of trust.

87
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 1: But there is a spot on most staffs for a

88
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,479
Speaker 1: guy who's game manager. Yeah, And there are varying degrees

89
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:50,840
Speaker 1: of coaching philosophies on this too. There are some coaches

90
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 1: that still to this day go strictly by feel, you know,

91
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:57,920
Speaker 1: time and score momentum in the game. How's my offense performing,

92
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:00,719
Speaker 1: how's my defense performing? And I'll make this asians they're in.

93
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:04,719
Speaker 1: And then there are other coaches who goes strictly by

94
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 1: the letter of the statistics and the analytics. And there

95
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 1: are baseball managers that do this too, guys that are

96
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 1: married to the figures and the numbers. And there are

97
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:17,280
Speaker 1: younger coaches in this league that stick to the analytics

98
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:20,159
Speaker 1: almost to the letter or in this case, to the number,

99
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 1: and there are probably a handful it or somewhere in between.

100
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:29,359
Speaker 1: Vic Fangio doesn't strike me as a guy that puts

101
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:32,479
Speaker 1: too much stock in the analytics, and not just because

102
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:34,840
Speaker 1: he's you know, a fifty five fifty six year old coach.

103
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,719
Speaker 1: But he said as much. I think his first year

104
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:42,039
Speaker 1: as head coach of the Broncos last year, he said, yeah,

105
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 1: I know about the analytics. I don't use him all

106
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:49,840
Speaker 1: that much. Okay, So there it is. So I don't

107
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 1: know if he has a game management coach or not.

108
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 1: But Chris Santos was the kicker for the Titans last

109
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 1: year or Cairo Cairo Santos, and he was promptly released

110
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 1: after that game he missed this year, he missed a

111
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:06,680
Speaker 1: fifty yard or he missed Uh, well, what was it?

112
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:08,360
Speaker 1: He missed a ton of Yeah, it was bad day

113
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:11,599
Speaker 1: for and you class, and it's you saw Gastowski last

114
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:17,600
Speaker 1: night and Monday Night football. His second kick classic over compensation.

115
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:20,720
Speaker 1: He pushes the first one right wide right as a

116
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 1: right footed kicker, and then he just puts a mean

117
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 1: old hook on the second one and hooks that one left.

118
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 1: And I was like, and when you see that it's on,

119
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:33,600
Speaker 1: He's all over the place. Yeah, and it just became

120
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,480
Speaker 1: Buckshot City. I said this about Tyler Bass on the

121
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:38,920
Speaker 1: broadcasting and yesterday I brought it up. His kicks were

122
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:42,840
Speaker 1: consistently headed right. Um two of them were outside the

123
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 1: upright and the other one was just inside. And I

124
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 1: think it. You know, you gotta you gotta hit those

125
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:53,280
Speaker 1: I get it. But hitting it consistently is what you're

126
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:55,720
Speaker 1: after now, I think, and I'll say it again, I

127
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:57,920
Speaker 1: think he was jacked up and he was just over

128
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 1: striding into the ball. I think his his plant foot

129
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 1: was landed a little bit too far down field maybe,

130
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 1: and I'm talking about, you know, an inch and a

131
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 1: half or two inches, and his football wasn't coming through

132
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 1: the ball. But yeah, so when that happens and you

133
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 1: take and I can I feel like I can speak

134
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 1: on this somewhat having a soccer background, right when you

135
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:18,239
Speaker 1: when you do that and you stride past the ball,

136
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 1: it doesn't allow your swing to come all the way

137
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 1: through for the point of impact that you're looking for.

138
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 1: So if you overstride and you hit it, you're hitting

139
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 1: it earlier than you normally would, and that is what

140
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 1: leads to a push where it'll fade on you and

141
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 1: go out to the right as a right footed kicker,

142
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 1: whereas if you understride, you run the risk of hooking

143
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 1: the ball because your follow through has come through further

144
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 1: and now you're pulling it to your left. And obviously

145
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 1: you know, as you if you ever go out and

146
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 1: walk through a new yard and with everybody's who kicked

147
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 1: in the yard at Thanksgiving or whatever, you get the

148
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 1: idea of how important the hold is. It's got to

149
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 1: be in the spot you pick so that your foot

150
00:07:58,120 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 1: is going to be coming through the right way. And

151
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 1: because all the other in tangil, all the other variables,

152
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 1: the kicker seems to be he should be able to control,

153
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:08,560
Speaker 1: but the ball's got to be on that spot where

154
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 1: he places and that's why. And I don't And on

155
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 1: short field goals, I've never been i'man I get it.

156
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:16,520
Speaker 1: It's no fun to kick the laces. But even if

157
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 1: you kick the laces or whatever, that ball's going through

158
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:21,200
Speaker 1: on a short field goal. Yeah, the ones where you

159
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 1: need it just perfect are the ones where the margin

160
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 1: of error is just a little bit small. You know,

161
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 1: on the fifty plus yarders and you need to hit

162
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 1: a fat part of the ball, you need to hit

163
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 1: away from the laces so you can get through it

164
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 1: and all of that. But on the short kicks, these

165
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:36,720
Speaker 1: guys drive it through those uprights. It's it's not gonna

166
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 1: waiver you know and unless it's you know, the wind

167
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:44,200
Speaker 1: has a chance to grab it. So the whole is

168
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:46,080
Speaker 1: the most important thing for me, and you can ask

169
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 1: kickers is is the ball has got to be on

170
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:52,839
Speaker 1: that spot at the right vertical angle that the kicker likes.

171
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,839
Speaker 1: We've seen we've seen a ton of miss kicks in

172
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:00,439
Speaker 1: Week one, not just last night and the Bills game,

173
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:02,200
Speaker 1: but other other teams as well. I mean, look at

174
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:06,360
Speaker 1: the Cincinnati Bengals are standing there going whoof they had

175
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:09,600
Speaker 1: an extra pointy tie it up at the last play

176
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 1: of the game. That might have been one of the

177
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 1: oh that might have been the ugliest kick of the week.

178
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 1: You tell me it was over in the stands. Like

179
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:19,719
Speaker 1: if you if you had the set of uprights that

180
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 1: you normally have in the middle of the field and

181
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:23,080
Speaker 1: then you put a second set of uprights to the

182
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 1: right of that, I don't think he would have put

183
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 1: it through that one Brownie. Picture how oft it was.

184
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 1: Picture the walk to your car from the stands here

185
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 1: at Bill Stadium. If if you have to walk the

186
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:36,679
Speaker 1: just as a fan getting out of your out of

187
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:39,320
Speaker 1: your seat and walk into your car after a game

188
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:43,439
Speaker 1: like that where your home kicker, ye skanks one so

189
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:46,560
Speaker 1: bad or forty five degree angle, it might have made it.

190
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:48,320
Speaker 1: He had a second set up, it would have. But

191
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 1: the point is I was just like it was an

192
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 1: extra point. And then he's like he crammed it up,

193
00:09:53,360 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 1: he cramped up. My guys. Welcome Joe Burrow, Welcome to

194
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 1: the Welcome to the NFL. Wow. We should also mention

195
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:10,559
Speaker 1: that was an absolutely perfect hole. We should also mention

196
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:13,560
Speaker 1: that the kick that drew a lot of Twitter blowback,

197
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:18,440
Speaker 1: at least people hitting me up. After Bass's first miss,

198
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 1: which appeared to go over the top of the posts,

199
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 1: top of the right post, people are like, how come

200
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 1: they're not checking that every play is reviewable? That play

201
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:33,960
Speaker 1: is actually not a reviewable play. Yeah, because it's above Yeah,

202
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 1: and you can see there it did it bent, you know,

203
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 1: with the wind pushed it. He had it going. Maybe

204
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 1: it might have been right center, but then it's just

205
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:46,080
Speaker 1: you know, it went hard right and a lot of

206
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 1: people said, and I've gone over it. I've had even

207
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 1: in the parking lot I had. I had a can

208
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 1: and a cigar, and I was showing these guys, you know,

209
00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:00,199
Speaker 1: showing the guys how it you know, the inside edge

210
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:02,200
Speaker 1: of that ball. The football. All it has to do

211
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 1: is go over the outside edge of the pipe. Yeah.

212
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 1: That means the once it gets above the uprights, the

213
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 1: goal post becomes wider, functionally wider, because you know, if

214
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 1: it's gonna hit the upright, it's gonna bounce backwards. The

215
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 1: only way it bounces series if it barely glances. But

216
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 1: if it barely glances, or if it would have barely

217
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 1: glanced outside, that's good up above the post. So it's so,

218
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 1: And that's been looked at by a lot of people,

219
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 1: and I get it. I get it. Lasers, camera angles,

220
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 1: you can get a camera, put it up there, put

221
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 1: it and if the ball, you know, and on the

222
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 1: replay you'd be able to see the laser flash on

223
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 1: the ball. All of that. You know, you know where

224
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 1: we're gonna get Just speaking of lasers, I know you

225
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 1: know where we're gonna get where. But there are going

226
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 1: to be two beams on the bottom of on the field,

227
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 1: directly underneath the outside of each of the posts, right,

228
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:04,200
Speaker 1: that's what. Yeah, And they're gonna shoot them straight into

229
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 1: the sky. Yeah, and they're gonna say, did that thing?

230
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 1: They they'll have to put it, they'll have to put

231
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 1: it on the post, because if the wind they mounted

232
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 1: on the post, they mount mounted on the post. And

233
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:20,559
Speaker 1: if they if the poster didn't touch the least, if

234
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:25,440
Speaker 1: the if the if the wind's blowing the uprights back

235
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:28,679
Speaker 1: and forth, you get a little a few extras or less,

236
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 1: you know, right, I mean, although if you're gonna put

237
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 1: it towards into the wind and is blowing the thing

238
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:39,080
Speaker 1: away from the you can't see me. You can't see

239
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:41,439
Speaker 1: me my finger. I've got two fingers up in eleven

240
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:45,560
Speaker 1: and I'm leaning them the same way. That's the Oh,

241
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 1: that was just off. But that's what and every and

242
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:52,840
Speaker 1: right now today everybody's going, what are you waiting on?

243
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:59,200
Speaker 1: Put that in? Let's go what are you doing? Come on, bro? Yeah,

244
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:02,560
Speaker 1: so okay, you're back, You're back. You're Mike. How long

245
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:04,679
Speaker 1: has that been in? I don't know. It wasn't my fault,

246
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:08,440
Speaker 1: but I'm telling you, what have you been doing? Let's

247
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 1: go get a laser on that. Think that a LA

248
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 1: the laser laser and it would be interesting time. How

249
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:19,560
Speaker 1: long have I been talking Steve about getting a laser

250
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:21,839
Speaker 1: to properly spot the ball? You running on a track

251
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 1: across the fields from sidelines? Too much garbage between that

252
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 1: and then not if you get rid of the chain gang,

253
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:28,840
Speaker 1: you don't need them anymore. You get that laser going.

254
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 1: You gotta have a chain gang. It's football gotta have

255
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:35,520
Speaker 1: you see, you gotta have it. Commercial with the two

256
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:38,440
Speaker 1: guys in the bathroom and the guys and they got

257
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:41,960
Speaker 1: the chain, they got the chain between the good you

258
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 1: gotta have it. You gotta have you gotta have, you know,

259
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 1: the guys with the chains. Yeah, you got to come on.

260
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:52,600
Speaker 1: Although it's a LA plus though, you can't have a

261
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:56,319
Speaker 1: laser for that. You can't have the lasers because the

262
00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:58,600
Speaker 1: field's got a crown on it. I mean, you know,

263
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 1: so they not not as man, any of them do anymore.

264
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 1: Some of the grass fields still do, but not to

265
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 1: the to the degree that they used to be. Especially here,

266
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 1: I listen, how many times would lasers solve all our

267
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 1: problems in football? Who didn't? I don't know about all

268
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 1: the problems, but they could solve some of them, like

269
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:17,679
Speaker 1: that kick last week, and then you know, here's the thing,

270
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 1: really really really close. That's I can't think of another

271
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 1: kick that it would have. You know, it happens what

272
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 1: once a year, not even I think more than once

273
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:31,920
Speaker 1: a year, I would I would say four or five times.

274
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 1: With all the kicks that are attempted. You figure each

275
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 1: kicker for each team on average probably about twenty seven

276
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:43,000
Speaker 1: twenty eight attempts right every year. But how many times

277
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 1: thirty two? There's not that many guys that are hitting

278
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 1: it over the top of the upright, particularly valid that's valid,

279
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:54,640
Speaker 1: exclude three quarters of the kicks, because they're talking almost

280
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 1: nine hundred attempts. Yeah, but you're talking about only three

281
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:00,240
Speaker 1: hundred of them have a chance to eat and be

282
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 1: above the upright. Really yeah, and you're talking about like

283
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 1: even if it's your man that one, most of them,

284
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 1: most of these kicks aren't even anywhere near over the

285
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 1: top of the upright. They're not even that high. Oh

286
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:16,120
Speaker 1: you're saying over the top of the upright, Yeah, I misunderstood.

287
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:18,320
Speaker 1: I'm thinking crossbars. So no, no, no no, the uprights. They're

288
00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 1: right over the up rights. I mean they're you know,

289
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 1: there's probably less than I would say, there's probably a handful,

290
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 1: not even ten percent. I would say, maybe well ten

291
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 1: percent eight So I was gonna say a handful, yeah,

292
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 1: but ten percent are over that are good at high

293
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:36,200
Speaker 1: enough to go over that but like one in a

294
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 1: thousand of that ten percent? Am I saying ten percent? Yeah,

295
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 1: but only one out of every thousand of those are

296
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:44,880
Speaker 1: over one of the uprights and not between or way

297
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 1: out right. I mean why, I mean, I get it.

298
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 1: I mean we want to get it right all the time,

299
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 1: but that seems superfluous. Yes, So we've got a full

300
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:02,360
Speaker 1: show where down that rabbit hole. Now we just kept going.

301
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 1: We don't stop, you know, once we start getting off

302
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 1: on a tangent. Sorry, but I'm sorry, he'll come back

303
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:09,240
Speaker 1: for a while. And that's how we feel. Three hours.

304
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 1: Let's be honest, you've touched into something I thought I knew.

305
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 1: So it's not like we don't have the time. But

306
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:17,760
Speaker 1: a full show. Today, we've got one Kyle Brandt from

307
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 1: Good Morning Football coming your way at twelve thirty. He

308
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:22,400
Speaker 1: had an interesting take on a debate they had on

309
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 1: the show this morning between Cam Newton and Josh Allen.

310
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:27,880
Speaker 1: We'll ask Kyle where he came down on it, as

311
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:32,080
Speaker 1: he had a pretty passionate answer, shall we say, And

312
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:34,200
Speaker 1: so we'll talk to him about that, among other things,

313
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:36,600
Speaker 1: including some of the events of Week one of this

314
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 1: NFL season, and maybe some of the Monday night games,

315
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 1: and then at two o'clock we have the man who

316
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:46,240
Speaker 1: did the game on CBS last week between the Bills

317
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 1: and the Jets, with one Andrew Canalan Hall of Famer

318
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 1: James Lofton. We'll join us at two o'clock and we'll

319
00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 1: also hear from coach McDermott, who addressed the media late yesterday.

320
00:16:56,800 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 1: In addition to his update on Tremaine Edmonds and at Milano,

321
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 1: putting them in the day to day category with their

322
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 1: respective injuries, he addressed a bunch of other things, including

323
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:07,920
Speaker 1: ball security with Josh Allen, and we'll hear from Brian

324
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:11,240
Speaker 1: Table and Leslie Frasier. The two coordinators also spoke with

325
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:14,159
Speaker 1: the media yesterday, so we'll get their take on the

326
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:17,200
Speaker 1: performance in week one and things that they feel are

327
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:21,320
Speaker 1: on there to do list for week two. It's got

328
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:26,200
Speaker 1: me an interesting game, Steve on Sunday, because for this

329
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:29,560
Speaker 1: game there will be fans, although based on the percentages,

330
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:37,160
Speaker 1: we're talking about fifteen thousand approximately in the Dolphins Stadium

331
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 1: this weekend, provided all the tickets are sold, and apparently

332
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:44,320
Speaker 1: it's a hot ticket down there, so we'll have to

333
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:50,359
Speaker 1: see what it brings. Yeah, sure, I don't think it's

334
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:52,320
Speaker 1: going to have a tremendous impact on a game in

335
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 1: terms of noise. I don't either. It's going to be

336
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 1: a non issue. You've already I've already heard on my

337
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:01,960
Speaker 1: timeline in social Bills fans want to head down there

338
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:03,880
Speaker 1: like they always. Yeah, And I don't know that that's

339
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:06,720
Speaker 1: a great idea for me personally. If you're coming from

340
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:08,720
Speaker 1: Western New York, it's not a great idea because you

341
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 1: will have to quarant to return. You'll have to quarantine

342
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:14,720
Speaker 1: from fourteen days since Florida is perpetually in the red

343
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 1: as one of the states on the COVID list. So

344
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:20,480
Speaker 1: save it up, Save it up until you can come

345
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:24,480
Speaker 1: to Bill Stadium and you'll appreciate it. All of them

346
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 1: watch the game like we normally do and be a

347
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:31,280
Speaker 1: factor there. Yeah. You know. We also have the Twitter

348
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:36,439
Speaker 1: poll and it surrounds the great debate that a lot

349
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:38,679
Speaker 1: of Bills fans were having on this show yesterday and

350
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:41,240
Speaker 1: just about everywhere where they could comment social media and

351
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:44,359
Speaker 1: the like about the amount of times Josh Allen is

352
00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:49,280
Speaker 1: carrying the football. Some people they're biting their nails down

353
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 1: to the nub because they're worried about him taking the

354
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:53,600
Speaker 1: wrong hit and being out for two or three weeks,

355
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:55,960
Speaker 1: whether it's in concussion, proto call, or God forbid with

356
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:58,399
Speaker 1: some kind of injury. And then there are others that

357
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:01,760
Speaker 1: are saying, hey, he's a weapon. He was the only

358
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:03,400
Speaker 1: thing working for us in the run game with any

359
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:06,560
Speaker 1: consistency last week. We got to do it. So we

360
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:09,240
Speaker 1: want to know where you come down on that argument.

361
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:13,840
Speaker 1: How should the Bills use Josh Allen in the run game?

362
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:20,000
Speaker 1: And essentially your choices are as follows. Okay, let me

363
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 1: pull this up here. I'm a little behind. So the

364
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:26,960
Speaker 1: choices are, it's a weapon, use it often only if

365
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:31,040
Speaker 1: it's a matchup edge with the opponent, seldom one or

366
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:36,120
Speaker 1: two designed runs a game, never not worth the risk,

367
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:40,919
Speaker 1: and the leader in the early voting, as we have

368
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:43,160
Speaker 1: almost a thousand votes already, Steve when we're not even

369
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:46,440
Speaker 1: a half charm in program. Only if it's a matchup

370
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:50,200
Speaker 1: edge with an opponent that's getting forty five of the vote.

371
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:52,160
Speaker 1: That's kind of where I sit on this. I don't

372
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 1: care if I use it when we need it, use

373
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:01,959
Speaker 1: it when it makes sense, and go. And then I'm

374
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:04,440
Speaker 1: he was reading the tweets. Sheet writer The first one

375
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:07,439
Speaker 1: I gotta go to is this one. It's great, and

376
00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:09,440
Speaker 1: this is kind of where I think the forty six

377
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:12,840
Speaker 1: percent stan from Ronnie. He says, I'm all for using it.

378
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 1: It's definitely a weapon. I'm not sure how often is

379
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:17,359
Speaker 1: the right word. I'm not sure often is the right word.

380
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 1: I love seeing him run and defenses can't stop him.

381
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:23,320
Speaker 1: But dang kid, hold on to the ball and get

382
00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:27,720
Speaker 1: out of bounds. Throw a Southern twang in there on

383
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:30,480
Speaker 1: that one. I felt that was necessary. I did for emphasis,

384
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:34,360
Speaker 1: and I right, just if you don't turn it over

385
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 1: and you get out of bounds, don't take a hit. Man,

386
00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:37,680
Speaker 1: run that thing every time. I don't care if you

387
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 1: ain't gonna get hit. It's a it's a constant debate,

388
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:45,359
Speaker 1: and Coach McDermot naturally was asked about this in his

389
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:48,520
Speaker 1: press conference yesterday, and we'll have his answer for you

390
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:50,399
Speaker 1: in the one o'clock hour a little later in the show.

391
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:52,880
Speaker 1: We want to hear what your take is on it first,

392
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:55,000
Speaker 1: and then we'll play you coach's answer a little bit

393
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:57,159
Speaker 1: later in the program. You can also call us and

394
00:20:57,280 --> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 1: let you know what you let us know what you think.

395
00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 1: At eight oh three, five two, five fifty and we

396
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:04,959
Speaker 1: do want to go to the phones here as we

397
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:07,880
Speaker 1: open the show, and we're gonna lead off today with

398
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:12,800
Speaker 1: Scott in Jamestown, who seems to be fired up already

399
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:16,399
Speaker 1: about the Dolphins game. So, Scott, what do you have

400
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:19,520
Speaker 1: for us? I hope, the hope Josh Allen in the

401
00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:24,480
Speaker 1: Bills Scrisch the Fish the Sunday. All right, well it's

402
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:26,760
Speaker 1: a short and sweet comment. Yeah, what's your what's your

403
00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:29,640
Speaker 1: thoughts about Josh and running the football? Do you get

404
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:31,600
Speaker 1: worried that he's gonna get hurt or do you want

405
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:33,880
Speaker 1: him to do it more? I're shaking a little bit.

406
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 1: It's shaking. I got you, Okay, we appreciate the call, Scott. Yeah,

407
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:44,280
Speaker 1: I mean some people do shake when Josh Allen runs

408
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:46,359
Speaker 1: a little bit. Either they're happy to see him gaining

409
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:48,639
Speaker 1: yardage or they're concerned he's gonna take the wrong hit,

410
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:50,920
Speaker 1: the wrong a little bit like a moth in a flame. Yeah,

411
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:53,359
Speaker 1: I love it. It's great. It's a tremendous weapon. It

412
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:55,920
Speaker 1: always it's always the easiest yardage you get in the

413
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:58,639
Speaker 1: game where the quarterback takes off running its man coverage

414
00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:00,800
Speaker 1: and he's just chasing the defensive acts down the field

415
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:03,400
Speaker 1: before they realize he's going, and then he slides into

416
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:05,919
Speaker 1: second base and it's like sweet first down, let's go,

417
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:09,840
Speaker 1: nice nineteen yard run kind of thing. Then I don't know.

418
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:13,399
Speaker 1: Then you always get the thime where Josh decides to

419
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 1: put his put his tucket under his arm and go ahead.

420
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:19,439
Speaker 1: First he gets his head whacked, the ball pops up,

421
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:21,520
Speaker 1: and now they're going the other direction and Josh is

422
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:26,040
Speaker 1: out for the game. I mean, you know who wants that.

423
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:28,640
Speaker 1: It's a tricky balance. I don't think there's any question

424
00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:31,320
Speaker 1: it's a tricky balance. Let's, uh, let's go to Chris

425
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:34,280
Speaker 1: in Texas and see what he has to say about

426
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:37,520
Speaker 1: this Josh Allen run game debate. Where where do you

427
00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:41,640
Speaker 1: come down on this one? Chris? Hey, how y'all doing

428
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:46,480
Speaker 1: Today's good? Doing good? Um? Josh, I think is a

429
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:49,159
Speaker 1: huge weapon for us. There's only a few quarterbacks that

430
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:53,240
Speaker 1: can run and passes he does. It makes a third

431
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:56,520
Speaker 1: option for a running game. Obviously, if he gets hurt,

432
00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:59,920
Speaker 1: everybody will regret it. But I think that, uh, you know,

433
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:02,920
Speaker 1: him being an asset in a running game, it makes

434
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:05,920
Speaker 1: their defenses just have to prepare for him as well.

435
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:08,200
Speaker 1: So I think it's a go and I think we

436
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 1: should do it. Yeah, I'll tell you this. I read

437
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:14,320
Speaker 1: this on Twitter yesterday. I cannot find it again. It

438
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:16,600
Speaker 1: was a statistic from one of the media guys that

439
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:19,640
Speaker 1: cover the league. There were five quarters as a before

440
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:21,720
Speaker 1: last night's games. I didn't keep track of last night's

441
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:25,000
Speaker 1: games up until last night's games. Five quarterbacks to the

442
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:28,960
Speaker 1: National Football League led their team in rushing on Sunday.

443
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:31,560
Speaker 1: Five guy, five quarterbacks led their team in rushing. Of

444
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:37,280
Speaker 1: Josh was one Russell Wilson. All those quarterbacks were five

445
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:39,480
Speaker 1: and zero. They won on Sunday. All five of the

446
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:42,080
Speaker 1: quarterbacks who led their teams in rushing on this last

447
00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:44,400
Speaker 1: weekend weekend one of the National Football League. All five

448
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:48,359
Speaker 1: guys who led their team in rushing one yep. So

449
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:50,919
Speaker 1: and add that into the mix. Yeah. And here's the

450
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:54,639
Speaker 1: other thing that I don't think everybody. It may not

451
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:57,439
Speaker 1: cross the mind of everyone when they think about this.

452
00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:01,159
Speaker 1: From a play calling perspective, Snapping the ball to the

453
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:05,040
Speaker 1: quarterback and having him run is one of the safest

454
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:08,359
Speaker 1: plays to execute because only two people are touching the

455
00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:12,639
Speaker 1: ball and only one guy's making a decision, and only

456
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:15,160
Speaker 1: one guy can be right or wrong. You call any

457
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:18,000
Speaker 1: kind of pass play, the quarterback could be right or wrong,

458
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:20,920
Speaker 1: the receiving target could be right or wrong, the protection

459
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:23,200
Speaker 1: could be right or wrong. Do you know what I mean? Like,

460
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:26,520
Speaker 1: there are so many more variables at play on one

461
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:30,399
Speaker 1: of those kinds of plays. For that quarterback read option,

462
00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:33,639
Speaker 1: it's basically on the QB to make the right or

463
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:36,240
Speaker 1: wrong call, and nobody's gonna make the right call every

464
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:40,639
Speaker 1: time in terms of reading the defense. But it's a

465
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:42,960
Speaker 1: relatively safe play. Now. I know some people are gonna

466
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:44,240
Speaker 1: be like, well, how safe is it you had two

467
00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:47,719
Speaker 1: turnovers last week? Well, yes, that is a risk on

468
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:51,160
Speaker 1: every play, just as it's a risk on every play

469
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:54,240
Speaker 1: for somebody getting hurt. I mean, this is a barbaric sport.

470
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:58,199
Speaker 1: Let's be honest. You know you could anybody could get

471
00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 1: hurt on any kind of play that you dw So,

472
00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:04,960
Speaker 1: I don't know, somebody, I suppose could put together some

473
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:09,879
Speaker 1: kind of logarithm to determine what is the most risky

474
00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:13,880
Speaker 1: play for injury for quarterbacks, And maybe running a ball

475
00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:16,679
Speaker 1: is no doubt, but you'll hear a lot of them

476
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:18,520
Speaker 1: too every time you do that. And people brought it

477
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:23,000
Speaker 1: up when Josh got algorithm. Josh got hit in the

478
00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:24,760
Speaker 1: New England game last year and had to go out

479
00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 1: with a concussion. A lot of quarterbacks get injured standing

480
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:33,119
Speaker 1: in the pocket because you know they're gonna take a

481
00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:35,200
Speaker 1: shot when they when they hang onto the ball as

482
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:36,880
Speaker 1: long as they need to and then have the quick

483
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:38,960
Speaker 1: release and the guy's got one step and he bangs

484
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:42,560
Speaker 1: into him. What happens invariably is that if the hit

485
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:45,960
Speaker 1: doesn't bother him, somebody getting pushed into his legs, does

486
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:49,000
Speaker 1: that garbage coming around. They wrestle him to the ground,

487
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:50,760
Speaker 1: They pull him over his own left tackle or his

488
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:53,119
Speaker 1: right tackle. That guard gets pushed back into his knee

489
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:55,520
Speaker 1: or something like that. Guys get hurt that way. Josh

490
00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:57,920
Speaker 1: Allen got his elbow hurt his rookie year when the

491
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:00,439
Speaker 1: guy he was standing in the pocket throwing it. So

492
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:04,720
Speaker 1: it's a helmet. Yeah, it's dangerous all the time. And

493
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:07,560
Speaker 1: I learned it the hard way when I played. I

494
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:10,800
Speaker 1: covered kicks for a lot of years, right, and I

495
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:12,720
Speaker 1: you know, I never had the ball in my hands,

496
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:17,639
Speaker 1: so you know, I was chasing guys, never gave it

497
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:19,240
Speaker 1: a second thought. I was trying to get him and

498
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:24,160
Speaker 1: put him on the ground hard, right, And then for

499
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:25,840
Speaker 1: whatever reason I got on the field and it was

500
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:29,159
Speaker 1: catching catching passes from Jim Kelly. I learned in like

501
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:31,600
Speaker 1: a quarter of a second, if you're holding the ball

502
00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:34,880
Speaker 1: on the field in play, you're gonna get whacked. Yeah,

503
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:40,040
Speaker 1: I mean that. It's a violence magnet and the quarterback's

504
00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:42,520
Speaker 1: got it every time. So it's you're gonna get hit

505
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:45,040
Speaker 1: and you're gonna get hit hard. Here's no avoiding it.

506
00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:48,000
Speaker 1: So you do need to mitigate it. For a guy

507
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:50,159
Speaker 1: like any quarterback who's gonna have his hands on the

508
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:53,399
Speaker 1: ball every single play, sooner or later, he's gonna go

509
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:55,760
Speaker 1: down and he's gonna go down hard. It's nice to

510
00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:58,720
Speaker 1: have a six five guy who weighs two fifty rather

511
00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:02,840
Speaker 1: than a guy who's in Arizona who's five nine buck

512
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:06,439
Speaker 1: ninety five. Yeah, although he can outrun just about everybody

513
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:09,600
Speaker 1: on the field, it's pretty fast. Lamar Jackson is six

514
00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:12,760
Speaker 1: two fifteen to twenty. He's not two twenty. He can

515
00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:14,960
Speaker 1: hand but he can handle ten. But he can handle

516
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:17,679
Speaker 1: some physical stuff. He can joke people out, but they're fast.

517
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:22,200
Speaker 1: So you gotta mitigate it somehow. And everybody brings something

518
00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:27,359
Speaker 1: to the table. But I'm telling you it is a

519
00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:29,159
Speaker 1: roll of the dice. Yeah, it is a roll of

520
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:30,840
Speaker 1: the dice. We go back to the phones at eight

521
00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:33,320
Speaker 1: oh three, oh five fifty. We go to uh, Jamie

522
00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:36,679
Speaker 1: and Grand Island, who I think is gonna provide me

523
00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:39,600
Speaker 1: with some support on the chain gang and not needing it.

524
00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:42,840
Speaker 1: If you have lasers, Jamie, what do you have for us? Yeah?

525
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:45,600
Speaker 1: So can you guys hear me? Yeah? Go ahead, all right.

526
00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:48,320
Speaker 1: So I discovered this about five years ago that in

527
00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:55,440
Speaker 1: the NFL, the officials always spot the first downball. I'm

528
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:59,520
Speaker 1: an exact yard marker, so the officials on the field

529
00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:02,640
Speaker 1: always where a first sound is. If the guy gets

530
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:04,680
Speaker 1: tackled at the thirty one and a half, they put

531
00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:07,560
Speaker 1: it on the thirty one or the thirty two. Yeah,

532
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:11,560
Speaker 1: you'll for first downs. Yeah, I get it first down,

533
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:14,520
Speaker 1: so you always know where ten yards is. Yeah, there's

534
00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:17,199
Speaker 1: no need to take a measurement. Yeah. Well, if the

535
00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:19,040
Speaker 1: nose of the ball is on that next yard marker,

536
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:21,800
Speaker 1: you know it, and they know when they spot the ball.

537
00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:25,080
Speaker 1: The only time that's not true is when it's inside

538
00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:27,200
Speaker 1: the ten yard line. You know, when you're getting ready

539
00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:29,400
Speaker 1: to score. Yeah, if he gets tackled at the six

540
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:30,960
Speaker 1: and a half, they'll put it the six and a half.

541
00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:35,000
Speaker 1: I're relevant for measurements, Jamie. That's not that's not exactly true.

542
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:37,800
Speaker 1: What if you watch, if you watch the games now,

543
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:40,760
Speaker 1: I've been doing this for five years. Anytime that's not

544
00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:43,440
Speaker 1: true is when there's a quarterback sneak on a short

545
00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:46,080
Speaker 1: distance and it's very obvious that they're going to spot

546
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:48,000
Speaker 1: it right there. You mean after the play is over

547
00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:51,720
Speaker 1: and after they measure it after a play is over.

548
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:55,040
Speaker 1: I'm not talking second down third downs, yeah, talking first

549
00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:58,160
Speaker 1: down first downs. Only the first down. Yeah, they will

550
00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:01,200
Speaker 1: purposely put it right on the yard marker on the half.

551
00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:06,840
Speaker 1: They know what ten yards is to the to the inch, right, Yeah,

552
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:09,000
Speaker 1: they do always to help themselves. And I'll tell another

553
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:11,719
Speaker 1: thing they do as well, go ahead the game, they

554
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:13,800
Speaker 1: don't have to bring it out for measurements. Is often

555
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:17,240
Speaker 1: there's there's very few times during a game on a

556
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:23,040
Speaker 1: first down that they don't put it right on the marker. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

557
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:24,560
Speaker 1: I can see that. Yeah, yeah, I can see that.

558
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:28,440
Speaker 1: Second down they do it. They may do it. They

559
00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:30,840
Speaker 1: may do it when they after they've measured and they

560
00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:33,280
Speaker 1: don't want to be it so obvious is to move

561
00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:35,440
Speaker 1: the ball up or back and half a yard. There's

562
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:37,880
Speaker 1: very few people like Jamie who have been watching. But

563
00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:40,280
Speaker 1: here's the thing, mostly for the last five years. You know,

564
00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:43,760
Speaker 1: they really don't need to do that because on the

565
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:49,600
Speaker 1: sideline they put the clip, the marker, the chain on

566
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:53,200
Speaker 1: a yard marker itself. So when they bring it out there,

567
00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:57,200
Speaker 1: you know, they don't put one, they don't put the

568
00:29:57,200 --> 00:30:00,400
Speaker 1: they don't measure it from the where the ball first was.

569
00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:04,160
Speaker 1: They measure it from the nearest full five yard stripe.

570
00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:06,680
Speaker 1: So the guy has put when they're going out for

571
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:09,480
Speaker 1: a measurement, right where they got a measurement. So they

572
00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:12,000
Speaker 1: have that marked anyway, no matter where they mark it

573
00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:14,520
Speaker 1: on the field, right, But that mark at five yards

574
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:17,840
Speaker 1: is based on putting that football all the way back

575
00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:20,320
Speaker 1: ten yards back on first down, which is where you

576
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:23,320
Speaker 1: put the first stick, which leads to that chain. Why

577
00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:26,600
Speaker 1: it's not they don't do it because that clip is

578
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:30,320
Speaker 1: the That clip is the measurement, not the chains. Well,

579
00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:32,040
Speaker 1: then that begs the question, why do you have a

580
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:34,520
Speaker 1: ten yard chain, Why don't you have a five yard chain? Well,

581
00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:36,560
Speaker 1: because they will was when they mark the ball, they

582
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:38,000
Speaker 1: put the thing on the point of the ball. They

583
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:39,400
Speaker 1: put the chain on the point of the ball when

584
00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:41,200
Speaker 1: they got that mark for the first down. Then the

585
00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:44,200
Speaker 1: guy takes that you'll see it. There's a third slide

586
00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:46,800
Speaker 1: it up the chain. No, he clips it on thereto

587
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:50,080
Speaker 1: into the chain link that is exactly on the edge

588
00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:52,720
Speaker 1: of the down of the yard marker on the hash

589
00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:55,680
Speaker 1: on the you don't have sideline hashman and they all coincide.

590
00:30:56,120 --> 00:31:00,320
Speaker 1: So he moves that clip to the right mark and

591
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:02,160
Speaker 1: that's where they measure from. They don't measure from the

592
00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:04,960
Speaker 1: other pole. They measure from the clip that's closest to

593
00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:08,520
Speaker 1: where the first down will be. Okay, and there's a

594
00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:10,600
Speaker 1: lot more that we can have with that conversation, but

595
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:13,479
Speaker 1: we do have to take a break, and when we return,

596
00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:15,560
Speaker 1: we were going to have one. Kyle Brand from Good

597
00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:18,360
Speaker 1: Morning Football had an interesting take on a debate they

598
00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:21,240
Speaker 1: had this morning between Cam Newton and Josh Allen. We'll

599
00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:23,320
Speaker 1: talk to him about where he came down on that

600
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:26,120
Speaker 1: side of defence, and we'll probably talk to him a

601
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:28,760
Speaker 1: little bit about the Monday night games the week one

602
00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:33,080
Speaker 1: that was and finally that we have football amidst all

603
00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:37,000
Speaker 1: these COVID restrictions plenty to come with Kyle Brandt next

604
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:39,280
Speaker 1: here on One Bill's Live, presented by Kalid to Health.

605
00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:55,920
Speaker 1: This is Buffalo Bill's Radio back on One Bill's Live,

606
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:59,040
Speaker 1: Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you, broadcasting from the Seneca

607
00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:02,959
Speaker 1: Studios in Orchard Park, and set to join us in

608
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:06,080
Speaker 1: just one moment is the man who had an interesting

609
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:09,120
Speaker 1: debate with one Peter Schrager on his own program, Good

610
00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:12,720
Speaker 1: Morning Football. It's about a month ago and they were

611
00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:16,560
Speaker 1: discussing the merits of the rushing abilities of one Josh

612
00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:20,000
Speaker 1: Allen and one Cam Newton who is now in the division.

613
00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:23,080
Speaker 1: And let's see what one Kyle Brandt had to say

614
00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:27,000
Speaker 1: about that. Nate. With all due respect to Kim's dancing

615
00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:30,240
Speaker 1: in sweatpants in practice, Josh Shallen was dancing in the

616
00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:32,360
Speaker 1: end zone of a road playoff game at twenty three

617
00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:35,320
Speaker 1: years old last January. I'm going with Josh in a

618
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:38,720
Speaker 1: runaway cam. Maybe it'll pan out. I hope it does.

619
00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:41,520
Speaker 1: He's incredible athlete, respect for it. But give me a ride,

620
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:44,280
Speaker 1: Give me a ride on that rocket in Buffalo young

621
00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:47,920
Speaker 1: jumping over people doing this like this was Cam Newton

622
00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:50,280
Speaker 1: in twenty fifteen. Guys, but it wasn't five years ago.

623
00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:52,800
Speaker 1: Plus he's gonna when he breaks the pocket, he's gonna

624
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:55,680
Speaker 1: throw it the Digs or Smokey whoever the hell daals

625
00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:57,760
Speaker 1: so they have around him. I think it's Josh Allen.

626
00:32:57,920 --> 00:32:59,800
Speaker 1: I'm praying that Cam Newton thing works just for our

627
00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:02,280
Speaker 1: but I know the job sown thing is gonna work,

628
00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:05,680
Speaker 1: and and it's gonna work this year, not Left Shark year.

629
00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:11,520
Speaker 1: This year Left Shark year. That's that's that's the part

630
00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:13,320
Speaker 1: that I think I enjoyed the best. But let's welcome

631
00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:16,440
Speaker 1: him in right now. From Good Morning Football one Kyle

632
00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:19,320
Speaker 1: Brandt and I think it's when you get passionate about

633
00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:22,160
Speaker 1: these debate topics on the show that really get people's

634
00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:24,719
Speaker 1: juices flowing. Kyle. And then when you weave in the

635
00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:26,960
Speaker 1: pop culture on top of it with a lot of

636
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:30,560
Speaker 1: references that are in my age category being a gen xer, Uh,

637
00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:32,959
Speaker 1: it gets me. It gets me fired up. So we

638
00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:35,800
Speaker 1: enjoy it. Glad to have you back for another season. Kyle.

639
00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:39,960
Speaker 1: How how you doing? How how did Week one treat you? Oh? Well,

640
00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:42,280
Speaker 1: I'm I'm thrilled to be here. Chris and Steve, this

641
00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:44,520
Speaker 1: is it's I'm thrilled to be back for another year.

642
00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:47,800
Speaker 1: I'm thrilled to be talking about the twenty twenty AFC

643
00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:53,160
Speaker 1: East champion Buffalo Bills. It's gonna be fantastic right out there.

644
00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:56,360
Speaker 1: One treat me what not? The age happened Week one

645
00:33:56,440 --> 00:34:00,400
Speaker 1: actually happened. There were sixteen football games, and I don't

646
00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:02,120
Speaker 1: care if every one of them was three to nothing.

647
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:05,040
Speaker 1: We had them, we played them. We're onto Week two.

648
00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:07,400
Speaker 1: The Bills are undefeated. I don't know if you know

649
00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:10,839
Speaker 1: the striss, but I started last year with this conversation here.

650
00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:13,279
Speaker 1: So it's not a coincidence that when I come in

651
00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:15,200
Speaker 1: and talk to you guys, the Bills are in the playoffs.

652
00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:17,200
Speaker 1: I planned to continue that streak this year, only this

653
00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:19,080
Speaker 1: year it's not the wild card. That's right. And we've

654
00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:21,120
Speaker 1: got we got a ton of we've been you you're

655
00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:24,560
Speaker 1: like us. We talk Bills football in NFL all day

656
00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:26,440
Speaker 1: every day, and so do you there in New York.

657
00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:30,279
Speaker 1: So it is now we were like, we've got a

658
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:33,080
Speaker 1: pool full of content to talk about. Big picture stuff,

659
00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:38,520
Speaker 1: small picture stuff, the big picture. For Week one, the officials, okay,

660
00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:40,839
Speaker 1: they were up and down a little bit, and there

661
00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:43,200
Speaker 1: was some controversial but none of this stuff, like you

662
00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:45,879
Speaker 1: know the NFC Championship game three years ago where there's

663
00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:47,440
Speaker 1: a no call and there's none of that. You know,

664
00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:50,680
Speaker 1: none of that stuff happened. The games went off. Some

665
00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:52,680
Speaker 1: of them are out of hand. Some teams looked like

666
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:54,960
Speaker 1: they were in the preseason. Other teams looked pretty much

667
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:57,520
Speaker 1: regular season ready. What are your thoughts about the big

668
00:34:57,520 --> 00:35:00,799
Speaker 1: picture this? Two months ago we were like, maybe this

669
00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:04,839
Speaker 1: ain't gonna happen, but now hey, let's go. Well, I'm

670
00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:06,799
Speaker 1: like you, guys, I'm sure you had a ton of

671
00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:09,200
Speaker 1: people asking you. I mean, I'm not even two months

672
00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:12,799
Speaker 1: because recently is three or four weeks ago. Typically that

673
00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:15,320
Speaker 1: time of year, it's who should I taking my fantasy draft?

674
00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:17,360
Speaker 1: Who should I take in my office pool? What do

675
00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:19,719
Speaker 1: you think of this? That wasn't the question this year.

676
00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:21,640
Speaker 1: The question I would get texted to me was are

677
00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:23,640
Speaker 1: there gonna be games? Are we gonna have a season?

678
00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:26,120
Speaker 1: And I would say, man, I would put that in

679
00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:29,160
Speaker 1: mid August. I'm still getting those questions, and you know

680
00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:32,279
Speaker 1: what my answer was, don't know. Stand by and then

681
00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:35,239
Speaker 1: like a scary face emoji, I did not know we

682
00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:38,799
Speaker 1: pulled it off. It's and yet there's this tendency, I think,

683
00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:40,879
Speaker 1: or maybe we're all reaching for it to say here

684
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:43,600
Speaker 1: we go full season, We're gonna do it. We got

685
00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:46,680
Speaker 1: their super Bowl. I'm still trying to pump the brakes

686
00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:49,560
Speaker 1: because in a few weeks we're gonna hit. By weeks,

687
00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:52,600
Speaker 1: players are gonna have vacation. Who knows what they're gonna do.

688
00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:55,160
Speaker 1: I'm still terrified that we have a team based in

689
00:35:55,239 --> 00:35:57,359
Speaker 1: Las Vegas who's yet to have their home game, which

690
00:35:57,360 --> 00:35:59,080
Speaker 1: means they've yet to have a road team. Go to

691
00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:01,960
Speaker 1: Las Vegas and you got a twenty three year olds

692
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:03,759
Speaker 1: with you know who just got the first game check

693
00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:05,440
Speaker 1: and they're like, wait a second, are you telling me

694
00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:08,319
Speaker 1: that Mandalay Bay is about two blocks that way? I

695
00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:10,279
Speaker 1: guess I'm supposed to say in my hotel room. It

696
00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:12,920
Speaker 1: makes me very nervous. Let's focus on the positive. We

697
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:17,040
Speaker 1: got one down, fifteen to go and then playoffs. It happened, guys, right,

698
00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:20,040
Speaker 1: black Jack in the craps table is going to be

699
00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:25,040
Speaker 1: the big deterrent to keeping people COVID naked. Vegas is

700
00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:27,279
Speaker 1: gonna you're it's right, you know you think about it.

701
00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:29,640
Speaker 1: Blake Vegas could be the black hole of the twenty

702
00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:36,200
Speaker 1: twenty season, right, and it's not just the gambling guys there,

703
00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:40,080
Speaker 1: there's other indulgences that Young has taken. Las Vegas are

704
00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:43,560
Speaker 1: a whole different, different type of trap. Yeah, that's right,

705
00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:46,880
Speaker 1: So give us give us an idea here that football

706
00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:50,440
Speaker 1: came back. Any surprises, any what was your big takeaway?

707
00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:53,200
Speaker 1: Maybe in an individual player who kind of wowed you

708
00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:58,400
Speaker 1: over week one? Well, I again, I like to be

709
00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:00,160
Speaker 1: shot out of a cannon with you guys and say

710
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:02,400
Speaker 1: this is gonna be great, and this is gonna be awesome. However,

711
00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:04,960
Speaker 1: I'm the debbut downer today I was. I was so

712
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:07,960
Speaker 1: disappointed by the Bucks. This was the one, you know,

713
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:10,120
Speaker 1: this was supposed to be. We've talked about this for

714
00:37:10,239 --> 00:37:13,120
Speaker 1: months and this was gonna be the dream team in

715
00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:16,239
Speaker 1: Barcelona and it's gonna be the Globetrotters. And then they

716
00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:18,440
Speaker 1: came out and it was like, this is what we've

717
00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:21,000
Speaker 1: been waiting for. It was the Chinese Democracy album from

718
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:26,320
Speaker 1: Guns and Roses. I didn't even recognize Brady and apparently

719
00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:30,160
Speaker 1: Brady didn't even recognize Gronkowski. Brady had better chemistry with you,

720
00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:33,279
Speaker 1: Norris Jenkins that he had with Rob Gronkowski. And I

721
00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:35,600
Speaker 1: know they're supposed to be sloppiness in week one. This

722
00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:38,200
Speaker 1: week one that it was a rough, rough start for

723
00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:40,319
Speaker 1: Tom Brady. Now, I don't know if that was like

724
00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:43,080
Speaker 1: being in a spa for Bills fans just watching Brady

725
00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:46,319
Speaker 1: do his best Jameis Winston impression, but as a guy

726
00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:49,040
Speaker 1: who covers the holds the whole league, like, this isn't

727
00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:51,000
Speaker 1: what I wanted from this. If we're gonna go dream

728
00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:53,799
Speaker 1: team with this thing, let's go dream team. I know

729
00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:56,279
Speaker 1: it was a tough draw with the Saints, but I

730
00:37:56,320 --> 00:37:58,399
Speaker 1: was hoping for better than that. That was a rough,

731
00:37:58,520 --> 00:38:01,560
Speaker 1: rough start. Yeah, I know, you've got to throw a

732
00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:04,440
Speaker 1: giant canopy over the entire league and try to assess

733
00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:06,600
Speaker 1: it over the course of your program, so you can't

734
00:38:06,600 --> 00:38:10,040
Speaker 1: watch every single game, every single play. The thing that

735
00:38:10,120 --> 00:38:12,840
Speaker 1: kind of grabs Steve and I with respect to Josh

736
00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:16,840
Speaker 1: this week against the Jets was the concerted effort to

737
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:20,560
Speaker 1: just go short to intermediate with him. And I just

738
00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:23,160
Speaker 1: know watching every game that Josh has ever played, play

739
00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:26,520
Speaker 1: by play by play here with the Bills, Steve and

740
00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:30,120
Speaker 1: I never really envisioned Josh being the kind of quarterback

741
00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:32,480
Speaker 1: that's gonna be like a Breeze or a Rodgers with

742
00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:35,520
Speaker 1: a completion percentage of somewhere between sixty eight and seventy percent.

743
00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:38,440
Speaker 1: That's not who he is, But on Sunday, that's that

744
00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:41,759
Speaker 1: is who he was. I mean, almost seventy two percent completion.

745
00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:45,759
Speaker 1: Their longest play was twenty nine yards. So everybody's worried

746
00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:48,200
Speaker 1: about the deep ball accuracy, and Brian Dable put together

747
00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:50,120
Speaker 1: a game plan and said, the hell with that. We're

748
00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:52,080
Speaker 1: just gonna nickel and dime the hell out of the Jets.

749
00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:55,120
Speaker 1: Josh is gonna complete passes up around seventy percent, and

750
00:38:55,160 --> 00:38:57,719
Speaker 1: we're gonna win going away. I'm just wondering if it's

751
00:38:57,719 --> 00:39:00,440
Speaker 1: gonna head that way going forward, or if this was

752
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:02,800
Speaker 1: just a one week deal, what do you think you

753
00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:06,480
Speaker 1: might Let's let's remember, like, this guy's still a baby,

754
00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:09,759
Speaker 1: He's an NFL baby. Those guys you mentioned Rogers and

755
00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:12,759
Speaker 1: Brees when they were at josh ellen stagem screw. Roger

756
00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:15,000
Speaker 1: was sitting on the bench, Brees was soon to be

757
00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:18,319
Speaker 1: gone from San Diego, Like there's a totally different path here.

758
00:39:18,520 --> 00:39:20,439
Speaker 1: And I thought it was interesting to your point looking

759
00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:23,279
Speaker 1: at Stefan Digg's stats, because you think, all right, we're

760
00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:25,799
Speaker 1: launching bombs to him. We're gonna take the top off.

761
00:39:25,800 --> 00:39:28,479
Speaker 1: It's gonna be bombs away with him and Brown eight

762
00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:31,480
Speaker 1: catches was great, eighty some yards and you think, well

763
00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:33,840
Speaker 1: it was dincon duct. I actually like that. I like

764
00:39:33,960 --> 00:39:37,000
Speaker 1: that shows to me, that shows chemistry, That shows efficiency.

765
00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:39,520
Speaker 1: Be one thing. If Diggs had two catches and one

766
00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:41,560
Speaker 1: of them was a seventy yard or sure, it'd be exciting.

767
00:39:41,880 --> 00:39:44,920
Speaker 1: But thirty off and running here, this is production. And

768
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:47,440
Speaker 1: maybe Josh Ellen is that guy. You know, we all

769
00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:49,759
Speaker 1: had our expectations of him coming out of Yom and

770
00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:52,000
Speaker 1: he's gonna throw the deep ball, and then last year

771
00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:53,840
Speaker 1: we started saying, all right, well he's gonna be a runner.

772
00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:56,600
Speaker 1: If he can do this, then we're starting to do everything.

773
00:39:56,719 --> 00:39:58,759
Speaker 1: I actually thought it was really cool, not only that

774
00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:01,080
Speaker 1: they had that game play talked about, but that Alan

775
00:40:01,120 --> 00:40:03,440
Speaker 1: could do it. Because it's nice to say short passes

776
00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:06,120
Speaker 1: and timing passes, but maybe he starts missing. Everyone in

777
00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:09,359
Speaker 1: the national media decides has decided to say that, well,

778
00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:13,000
Speaker 1: he has accuracy problems and he always will. Look, you

779
00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:16,160
Speaker 1: can fix that. You know, he's a young, young quarterback.

780
00:40:16,440 --> 00:40:17,719
Speaker 1: Now we just got a game him to hold on

781
00:40:17,719 --> 00:40:20,400
Speaker 1: to the damn ball when he runs. Can we fix that?

782
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:25,160
Speaker 1: Where is the best place that Bills fans could completely overreact?

783
00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:28,600
Speaker 1: In the positive and also the negative, I mean, is

784
00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:31,719
Speaker 1: it the Bills are all of that? They're going they

785
00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:34,040
Speaker 1: won going away on a game though they didn't play

786
00:40:34,080 --> 00:40:37,439
Speaker 1: that well, didn't play their best or they were playing

787
00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:41,160
Speaker 1: the Jets. Okay, I see, I like that question. It's

788
00:40:41,160 --> 00:40:44,080
Speaker 1: a matter of extreme. The positive is I mean, it's

789
00:40:44,160 --> 00:40:46,440
Speaker 1: kind of where I am. I've already used the word juggernaut.

790
00:40:46,440 --> 00:40:48,960
Speaker 1: I don't here's the positive. I don't see a weakness

791
00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:51,560
Speaker 1: with this team. I really don't write down to their kicker,

792
00:40:51,719 --> 00:40:54,080
Speaker 1: the bass kicker. I think they're gonna be a twelve

793
00:40:54,120 --> 00:40:56,960
Speaker 1: game winner. They're coach is brilliant, and they're gonna go

794
00:40:57,000 --> 00:40:58,520
Speaker 1: to their title game and maybe they win it. That's

795
00:40:58,520 --> 00:41:00,920
Speaker 1: the positive, you know what the negative is. The negative

796
00:41:01,040 --> 00:41:03,080
Speaker 1: is is now Cam Newton is going to be an

797
00:41:03,160 --> 00:41:06,000
Speaker 1: MVP candidate. We finally got Brady the hell out of here,

798
00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:08,160
Speaker 1: and now we got to deal with Cam Newton. And

799
00:41:08,239 --> 00:41:11,040
Speaker 1: it's Bill Belichick's new Project X that he rips the

800
00:41:11,080 --> 00:41:13,759
Speaker 1: curtain off of in his science laboratory, and Cam's gonna

801
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:17,000
Speaker 1: give the Pats five or six great years because guys, look,

802
00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:19,239
Speaker 1: it's not what Bill's fans want to hear. But that

803
00:41:19,320 --> 00:41:22,600
Speaker 1: went really well in Buffalo. I remember rather in Foxboro

804
00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:25,719
Speaker 1: really well. I mean that was smooth. There were smiles

805
00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:28,440
Speaker 1: McDaniels and Cam or fist bumping. I never saw Brady

806
00:41:28,480 --> 00:41:32,440
Speaker 1: fist bump McDaniels. It started well, right, I just wonder.

807
00:41:32,640 --> 00:41:35,360
Speaker 1: I mean, they relied a lot on Cam's legs though.

808
00:41:35,680 --> 00:41:39,280
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess they're I guess they're waiting for

809
00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:42,680
Speaker 1: the passing game to materialize to the point where McDaniels

810
00:41:42,719 --> 00:41:44,759
Speaker 1: and Belichick are like, I think we're good this week.

811
00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:47,439
Speaker 1: I think we can connect enough in the passing game,

812
00:41:47,719 --> 00:41:49,920
Speaker 1: you know, with a new quarterback and all his new targets.

813
00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:52,880
Speaker 1: You know, he's still got young players in this receiving corps.

814
00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:55,160
Speaker 1: You know, I'm wondering how long they wait on that,

815
00:41:55,320 --> 00:41:58,680
Speaker 1: because do you want to lean on Cam's legs that much?

816
00:41:58,719 --> 00:42:01,080
Speaker 1: I mean, what he he? What did he have seventy

817
00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:03,080
Speaker 1: five yards rushing? And what did he have ninety something

818
00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:07,160
Speaker 1: or one hundred and something yards passing? I mean fifteen carries? Yeah,

819
00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:09,359
Speaker 1: So I mean when does it? When do we think

820
00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:13,719
Speaker 1: we might see that shift where McDaniel says, you know what, Cam,

821
00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:15,680
Speaker 1: you know, let's let's put it in neutral this week

822
00:42:16,080 --> 00:42:18,879
Speaker 1: and throw it a little bit more. Well. I thought

823
00:42:18,920 --> 00:42:21,760
Speaker 1: the biggest myth going into this season with this idea

824
00:42:21,840 --> 00:42:25,400
Speaker 1: that Cam is gonna be Michael Jordan in the second

825
00:42:25,400 --> 00:42:27,600
Speaker 1: half of his career when he couldn't dunk anymore and

826
00:42:27,640 --> 00:42:29,279
Speaker 1: he had to rely on the turnaround jump shot. He's

827
00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:31,720
Speaker 1: gonna change his game. I don't think so. I never

828
00:42:31,840 --> 00:42:34,840
Speaker 1: envisioned Cam Newton sitting there throwing to Edelman eleven times

829
00:42:34,840 --> 00:42:37,640
Speaker 1: a game, timing pass here over the middle here, and

830
00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:40,759
Speaker 1: I don't think McDaniels and Belichick did either, because that's

831
00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:42,759
Speaker 1: not the game that they called. I don't think Cam

832
00:42:42,760 --> 00:42:44,520
Speaker 1: Newton's ever going to be there. I don't think he's

833
00:42:44,560 --> 00:42:46,960
Speaker 1: going to turn into Drew Brees just because he's a

834
00:42:46,960 --> 00:42:49,239
Speaker 1: little older. It's not what it makes Cam special. I

835
00:42:49,280 --> 00:42:51,239
Speaker 1: think the reason you bring him in and say, look,

836
00:42:51,239 --> 00:42:53,640
Speaker 1: the doctor says healthy and we want to do this

837
00:42:53,719 --> 00:42:56,160
Speaker 1: we're seeing on our screen right now. Unleash this guy.

838
00:42:56,400 --> 00:42:58,879
Speaker 1: The hell with it. If he breaks down. We took

839
00:42:58,920 --> 00:43:00,759
Speaker 1: a shot, but we're not gonna sit here and have

840
00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:02,960
Speaker 1: him throw forty times a game, so we can complete

841
00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:05,520
Speaker 1: twenty of them and we lose. Just to keep them healthy, guys,

842
00:43:05,560 --> 00:43:07,919
Speaker 1: I think this is the plan. It's funny because there's

843
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:11,520
Speaker 1: so much similarity between New England and Buffalo, the size,

844
00:43:11,600 --> 00:43:14,879
Speaker 1: the physicality of their quarterbacks, the running, whether it makes

845
00:43:14,920 --> 00:43:17,359
Speaker 1: their fan bases a little nervous that they can keep

846
00:43:17,400 --> 00:43:20,360
Speaker 1: it up, there's a lot it already. It's already one weekend.

847
00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:24,080
Speaker 1: Here's the ultimate overreaction, Steve. One weekend. It already feels

848
00:43:24,080 --> 00:43:26,879
Speaker 1: like the Bills and Patriots are on this collision where

849
00:43:26,960 --> 00:43:28,759
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to face off and say either we're

850
00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:30,319
Speaker 1: the new kids on the block or saying get the

851
00:43:30,320 --> 00:43:32,720
Speaker 1: hell out here, it's still our turf, right. And then,

852
00:43:32,840 --> 00:43:34,600
Speaker 1: I mean, the last one I've got for you is

853
00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:36,880
Speaker 1: just with regard to the matchup for the Bills this weekend,

854
00:43:36,920 --> 00:43:39,680
Speaker 1: which is the Dolphins coming off that ten point loss

855
00:43:39,920 --> 00:43:42,880
Speaker 1: to the Patriots. There wasn't a lot of corner talent

856
00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:44,759
Speaker 1: on the field for the Jets last week, and so

857
00:43:44,840 --> 00:43:48,759
Speaker 1: Dable said, let's go four wide or three wide. Of

858
00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:51,920
Speaker 1: their past plays are in eleven or ten personnel, and

859
00:43:52,280 --> 00:43:55,399
Speaker 1: this week you got two corners that are pretty darn

860
00:43:55,480 --> 00:43:59,319
Speaker 1: good in Xavian Howard and Byron Jones. So do you

861
00:43:59,400 --> 00:44:02,880
Speaker 1: think the roach is drastically different for the Bills? Number

862
00:44:02,880 --> 00:44:05,320
Speaker 1: one and then number two? How do you kind of

863
00:44:05,320 --> 00:44:07,200
Speaker 1: see this one playing out? No one fits is gonna

864
00:44:07,200 --> 00:44:10,160
Speaker 1: play again in week two? Here? No two we yet? Well,

865
00:44:10,160 --> 00:44:12,240
Speaker 1: I think I think you look for Singletary and Moss

866
00:44:12,239 --> 00:44:14,400
Speaker 1: from the Bills. I think this is gonna be their ascension,

867
00:44:14,440 --> 00:44:16,200
Speaker 1: This is gonna be their emergence this week. I think

868
00:44:16,200 --> 00:44:18,399
Speaker 1: you run it. Look at the Pats did against them,

869
00:44:18,560 --> 00:44:21,319
Speaker 1: and as much as we love Fitzpatrick and who does him,

870
00:44:21,320 --> 00:44:24,320
Speaker 1: he is an undefeated approval rating. Everybody, especially in Buffalo,

871
00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:27,000
Speaker 1: loves him. Guys, the Bill should wipe this team out.

872
00:44:27,120 --> 00:44:29,960
Speaker 1: They're way better, way more talented. Let's get used to

873
00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:32,759
Speaker 1: the new reality with Buffalo. Now there's some teams that

874
00:44:32,800 --> 00:44:34,839
Speaker 1: they should blow out. You don't always have to white

875
00:44:34,920 --> 00:44:36,480
Speaker 1: knuckle it in the fourth quarter. I want to see

876
00:44:36,560 --> 00:44:38,480
Speaker 1: him roll over on this team because after a while,

877
00:44:38,760 --> 00:44:41,360
Speaker 1: it's what the Pats did, and the Bills are more talented,

878
00:44:41,600 --> 00:44:44,879
Speaker 1: their quarterback in the system is more experienced. This should

879
00:44:44,880 --> 00:44:47,760
Speaker 1: be a double digit win. Miami. We love Brian Flores

880
00:44:47,800 --> 00:44:50,200
Speaker 1: and that's great. We love fits Bills are a juggernaut.

881
00:44:50,239 --> 00:44:52,279
Speaker 1: Show them you're juggernaut, right. Last one for me, we

882
00:44:52,320 --> 00:44:54,279
Speaker 1: had in an off season where everybody thought it was

883
00:44:54,280 --> 00:44:56,799
Speaker 1: gonna the league was gonna go broke. And I'm kind

884
00:44:56,800 --> 00:44:58,680
Speaker 1: of say that laughing. Yeah, you got a ton of

885
00:44:58,719 --> 00:45:02,840
Speaker 1: guys signing extension, Jalen Ramsey and Tradevious White. Tredevious signed

886
00:45:02,840 --> 00:45:05,759
Speaker 1: a team friendly deal. He signed first and he's one

887
00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:08,680
Speaker 1: of the all time fun guys to be around. Jalen Ramsey,

888
00:45:08,920 --> 00:45:12,160
Speaker 1: who is a phenomenal player. Who's better? Who's who's the better?

889
00:45:12,160 --> 00:45:14,239
Speaker 1: Who do you want on your team more? I mean,

890
00:45:14,280 --> 00:45:16,799
Speaker 1: you want Jalen Ramsey, who has a different skill set

891
00:45:16,800 --> 00:45:19,440
Speaker 1: than Tavish. He's a chance taker and he's a chance taker.

892
00:45:19,520 --> 00:45:21,319
Speaker 1: Or do you want Tredavious White, a guy who is

893
00:45:21,840 --> 00:45:25,800
Speaker 1: just so and kind of elevates the temperament of everybody

894
00:45:25,840 --> 00:45:29,239
Speaker 1: on the field and in the stadium. Not saying this

895
00:45:29,280 --> 00:45:31,120
Speaker 1: to be a homer. It's an easy decision for me.

896
00:45:31,200 --> 00:45:34,440
Speaker 1: Give me Trey White. First of all, he's cheaper. Second

897
00:45:34,440 --> 00:45:37,120
Speaker 1: of all, I like his personality better. Jalen kind of

898
00:45:37,160 --> 00:45:39,480
Speaker 1: runs hot. He can be a little cold blooded sometimes

899
00:45:39,520 --> 00:45:42,319
Speaker 1: where his tray is all about smiling, having fun. That

900
00:45:42,360 --> 00:45:44,480
Speaker 1: moment when he picked up the other team's game plan

901
00:45:44,560 --> 00:45:46,320
Speaker 1: on the field is still one of the funniest moments

902
00:45:46,320 --> 00:45:48,520
Speaker 1: of last year. And I'll put it this way too.

903
00:45:48,840 --> 00:45:52,600
Speaker 1: In Week one, Jalen got smoked and by the Cowboys

904
00:45:52,840 --> 00:45:56,080
Speaker 1: and a huge moment Michael gallop towards him. He hammed

905
00:45:56,160 --> 00:45:58,320
Speaker 1: up the passing affairs that he got the call because

906
00:45:58,320 --> 00:46:00,839
Speaker 1: he's a known player and a star. Anybody else would

907
00:46:00,880 --> 00:46:02,919
Speaker 1: have gotten it. So after one week, after one week,

908
00:46:03,040 --> 00:46:06,560
Speaker 1: Trey has not gotten smoked. Jalen has better personality, cheaper,

909
00:46:06,600 --> 00:46:09,160
Speaker 1: It's Trey White and runaway. All right, Kyle, Thanks as

910
00:46:09,160 --> 00:46:12,080
Speaker 1: always for the time. Look forward to getting Kyle in

911
00:46:12,160 --> 00:46:14,440
Speaker 1: here each and every week to digest the week that

912
00:46:14,600 --> 00:46:16,439
Speaker 1: was in the NFL and talk some bills as well.

913
00:46:16,480 --> 00:46:18,919
Speaker 1: Thanks as always Kyle for your time. See man, see

914
00:46:18,920 --> 00:46:21,000
Speaker 1: you next week at two. And oh gentlemen, all right

915
00:46:21,600 --> 00:46:25,040
Speaker 1: Kyle Brand from Good Morning Football. He's just got I

916
00:46:25,120 --> 00:46:27,080
Speaker 1: just love his takes, you know, like he just goes

917
00:46:27,120 --> 00:46:29,600
Speaker 1: off on a tangent, and I gotta ask him at

918
00:46:29,600 --> 00:46:32,160
Speaker 1: some point in time, does he kind of just generally

919
00:46:32,360 --> 00:46:34,200
Speaker 1: think about what he's gonna say and then just go

920
00:46:34,280 --> 00:46:37,880
Speaker 1: off on a two minute die a tribe and just

921
00:46:38,600 --> 00:46:41,239
Speaker 1: completely off the cuff, or is there some semblance of

922
00:46:41,239 --> 00:46:43,600
Speaker 1: an idea on the little things that he wants to

923
00:46:43,680 --> 00:46:46,480
Speaker 1: hit through the because some of his references cross references

924
00:46:46,480 --> 00:46:50,319
Speaker 1: are the culture of their money. Yeah, but yeah, he's

925
00:46:50,440 --> 00:46:52,880
Speaker 1: he's a little bit in the same boat you and

926
00:46:52,920 --> 00:46:55,480
Speaker 1: I are. And I mentioned it during the interview. You know,

927
00:46:55,920 --> 00:47:01,640
Speaker 1: good Morning Football with Kay Adams and Pete Rager and

928
00:47:03,719 --> 00:47:08,920
Speaker 1: the group Burlison they talk football for four hours a day,

929
00:47:09,040 --> 00:47:10,440
Speaker 1: just like you and I talk for three hours a

930
00:47:10,480 --> 00:47:12,440
Speaker 1: day in Nars's bills in NFL, and there's his all

931
00:47:12,520 --> 00:47:15,680
Speaker 1: NFL all the time. So he kind of gets that

932
00:47:16,600 --> 00:47:18,920
Speaker 1: he isn't that same mentality as us. You're gonna get

933
00:47:18,960 --> 00:47:21,160
Speaker 1: pretty deep in the weeds. Yeah, you're like going down

934
00:47:21,200 --> 00:47:24,200
Speaker 1: the rabbit hole with the kickers. We didn't for a second,

935
00:47:24,280 --> 00:47:25,840
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, just kind of find yourself.

936
00:47:26,080 --> 00:47:28,799
Speaker 1: You sit up and going how did I get here? Yeah?

937
00:47:28,880 --> 00:47:32,480
Speaker 1: But I love his takes. He's he cross references everything,

938
00:47:32,520 --> 00:47:34,840
Speaker 1: and he can bring stuff in from other teams and

939
00:47:34,880 --> 00:47:36,839
Speaker 1: other conferences that are kind of the same, and it's

940
00:47:37,280 --> 00:47:39,040
Speaker 1: it's always fun to have him on his energy and

941
00:47:39,120 --> 00:47:41,640
Speaker 1: is and the fact that he is kind of deep

942
00:47:41,680 --> 00:47:43,520
Speaker 1: in the weeds with you and maybe kind of makes

943
00:47:43,520 --> 00:47:45,040
Speaker 1: it fun. All Right, we gotta take a break, but

944
00:47:45,080 --> 00:47:47,080
Speaker 1: when we return, we'll get back to the phones at

945
00:47:47,080 --> 00:47:49,720
Speaker 1: eight oh three, five fifty. As we were talking Josh

946
00:47:49,760 --> 00:47:54,040
Speaker 1: Allen and the degree to which you feel comfortable seeing

947
00:47:54,160 --> 00:47:57,040
Speaker 1: him run the football. We got choices for you on

948
00:47:57,080 --> 00:47:59,680
Speaker 1: the Twitter poll, So hop on one Bills Live on

949

Speaker 1: Twitter to voice your opinion there or give us a

00:48:02,880 --> 00:48:04,800
Speaker 1: call eight oh three oh five fifty back in a

951
00:48:04,840 --> 00:48:07,160
Speaker 1: moment here on one Bill's Line, presented by Kalid to Health.

952
00:48:07,200 --> 00:48:26,560
Speaker 1: This is Buffalo Bills Radio time now for Reads Milestones.

953
00:48:26,880 --> 00:48:30,120
Speaker 1: Josh Allen thirty three to forty six passing, three hundred

954
00:48:30,120 --> 00:48:32,600
Speaker 1: twelve yards, two touchdowns, no picks, a one oh four

955
00:48:32,680 --> 00:48:35,719
Speaker 1: point six passer rating against the Jets. As we all know,

956
00:48:35,760 --> 00:48:37,920
Speaker 1: it was Allen's first career three hundred yard passing game.

957
00:48:37,920 --> 00:48:39,719
Speaker 1: It was the most passing yards by a Bill in

958
00:48:39,760 --> 00:48:44,279
Speaker 1: a win since Ryan Fitzpatrick in the Comeback Game Week three,

959
00:48:44,760 --> 00:48:48,439
Speaker 1: twenty eleven when the Bills won thirty four thirty one fits.

960
00:48:48,480 --> 00:48:50,400
Speaker 1: He three for three hundred and sixty nine yards in

961
00:48:50,440 --> 00:48:55,200
Speaker 1: that game. Reads Milestones, Reads Jen's the official jeweler of

962
00:48:55,280 --> 00:48:59,080
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. And we are talking Josh Allen of

963
00:48:59,120 --> 00:49:02,160
Speaker 1: all things, and how much should this guy be running?

964
00:49:02,480 --> 00:49:06,600
Speaker 1: How much is too much, I guess, is the question here.

965
00:49:06,640 --> 00:49:09,200
Speaker 1: And it's a debate that goes on and on and

966
00:49:09,280 --> 00:49:11,200
Speaker 1: on and on, and we're happy to have it with you.

967
00:49:11,440 --> 00:49:13,000
Speaker 1: And so we will go back to the phones at

968
00:49:13,040 --> 00:49:16,040
Speaker 1: eight oh three, five fifty and we will lead off

969
00:49:16,400 --> 00:49:19,520
Speaker 1: with one Milton and Buffalo Milton, what do you have

970
00:49:19,600 --> 00:49:22,880
Speaker 1: for us? Yeah, I need to hire ups to hear

971
00:49:22,920 --> 00:49:27,200
Speaker 1: it is. Listen when you up nothing and you're down,

972
00:49:27,320 --> 00:49:29,520
Speaker 1: like when a twenty three yard line, there's nothing wrong

973
00:49:29,600 --> 00:49:32,399
Speaker 1: with running the ball and not using halling. You could

974
00:49:32,400 --> 00:49:34,800
Speaker 1: have went up swenty floor so nothing and probably seals

975
00:49:34,800 --> 00:49:37,520
Speaker 1: the game. I had this, I had this conversation yesterday

976
00:49:37,560 --> 00:49:40,239
Speaker 1: Milton and I and I get where you're saying, but

977
00:49:40,440 --> 00:49:44,920
Speaker 1: running Josh Allen on the surface should be safer than

978
00:49:44,960 --> 00:49:48,200
Speaker 1: handing the ball off somebody else. There's less ball handling

979
00:49:48,200 --> 00:49:50,600
Speaker 1: and all of that. And there's one exchange, not just

980
00:49:50,760 --> 00:49:53,600
Speaker 1: one exchange, not too but I get your point. Running

981
00:49:53,600 --> 00:49:56,880
Speaker 1: to somebody who's a professional runner instead of a professional

982
00:49:56,880 --> 00:49:58,640
Speaker 1: thrower kind of guy but I get it, go ahead.

983
00:49:59,160 --> 00:50:03,400
Speaker 1: He already fumbled before that, Milton. I got news for you.

984
00:50:03,440 --> 00:50:05,120
Speaker 1: Whether he fumbles it or not, you're not taking the

985
00:50:05,160 --> 00:50:07,959
Speaker 1: ball out of his hands. They're not. They don't care

986
00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:10,359
Speaker 1: if he fumbles. They don't, they don't want they care.

987
00:50:10,520 --> 00:50:14,120
Speaker 1: But there it doesn't matter. He's not gonna get benched

988
00:50:14,120 --> 00:50:16,000
Speaker 1: because he fumbled a pass and they want to give

989
00:50:16,080 --> 00:50:18,080
Speaker 1: him the ball again. So he's not afraid to run

990
00:50:18,120 --> 00:50:20,560
Speaker 1: it next time and afraid to fumble it. So his

991
00:50:20,719 --> 00:50:24,560
Speaker 1: fumbles last the last play have nothing to do with

992
00:50:24,600 --> 00:50:26,399
Speaker 1: how many times he's gonna run it in the next

993
00:50:26,440 --> 00:50:28,640
Speaker 1: coming series. Now, this is what I'm saying. I'm not

994
00:50:28,680 --> 00:50:31,319
Speaker 1: saying that. I'm saying that since he did and we're

995
00:50:31,320 --> 00:50:33,480
Speaker 1: down there and he's twining one or nothing and the

996
00:50:33,480 --> 00:50:37,600
Speaker 1: ball off, But I want to say where we need

997
00:50:37,640 --> 00:50:39,360
Speaker 1: to bring house to back. I don't. I don't trust

998
00:50:39,360 --> 00:50:41,640
Speaker 1: the kicker. I don't. I don't want the game to

999
00:50:41,640 --> 00:50:45,560
Speaker 1: come down to the kick. And you know, and that happened,

1000
00:50:45,600 --> 00:50:47,880
Speaker 1: and a way down here, Well here's the thing, and

1001
00:50:47,920 --> 00:50:50,440
Speaker 1: I get you, he's right. I mean, I hear you, Milton,

1002
00:50:50,560 --> 00:50:52,840
Speaker 1: And it's gonna take time. I might have more people

1003
00:50:52,880 --> 00:50:55,760
Speaker 1: nervous than Josh Allen running the football right, Tyler basket,

1004
00:50:55,920 --> 00:50:58,399
Speaker 1: A lot of people nervous. I get it, and it's

1005
00:50:58,400 --> 00:51:01,920
Speaker 1: gonna take some It's gonna take some time for Tyler

1006
00:51:02,000 --> 00:51:04,080
Speaker 1: Bass to earn back the trust if he ever had

1007
00:51:04,080 --> 00:51:06,839
Speaker 1: it with Bills fans. He's gonna have to hit some

1008
00:51:06,880 --> 00:51:08,560
Speaker 1: big kicks and he's gonna have to hit him all

1009
00:51:08,560 --> 00:51:11,160
Speaker 1: in a row for people to say, Okay, I see it,

1010
00:51:11,200 --> 00:51:14,480
Speaker 1: you know, I get it. But I'll say this, if

1011
00:51:14,480 --> 00:51:16,359
Speaker 1: you get into a game and the Bills have had

1012
00:51:16,400 --> 00:51:19,200
Speaker 1: this happen, if you get into a game where you

1013
00:51:19,200 --> 00:51:22,840
Speaker 1: need a fifty yard or to win it. I like

1014
00:51:22,880 --> 00:51:24,480
Speaker 1: Stephen House she as much as anybody, but he's not

1015
00:51:24,520 --> 00:51:27,680
Speaker 1: hitting it. Yeah, it was. It was evident, and we

1016
00:51:27,680 --> 00:51:30,280
Speaker 1: started to see it a little bit last year because

1017
00:51:30,760 --> 00:51:33,359
Speaker 1: when he first got to Buffalo, when the Bills first

1018
00:51:33,440 --> 00:51:36,480
Speaker 1: signed him, I think he was in the top five

1019
00:51:37,000 --> 00:51:41,280
Speaker 1: most accurate kickers from fifty yards plus in league history,

1020
00:51:42,160 --> 00:51:44,560
Speaker 1: and right now he is the eleventh most accurate kicker

1021
00:51:44,880 --> 00:51:49,760
Speaker 1: in league history. So a fantastic resume, a fantastic career.

1022
00:51:50,120 --> 00:51:52,319
Speaker 1: But it was clear towards the end of last year

1023
00:51:52,800 --> 00:51:55,960
Speaker 1: that those fifty plus yard field goal attempts were not

1024
00:51:56,600 --> 00:51:59,440
Speaker 1: we're not available to Sean McDermott to decide upon because

1025
00:51:59,440 --> 00:52:02,359
Speaker 1: he just couldn't get it there, especially in the colder months.

1026
00:52:02,560 --> 00:52:06,759
Speaker 1: And it was evident this year in training camp two

1027
00:52:06,920 --> 00:52:10,439
Speaker 1: and this year would have been less than fifty seven

1028
00:52:10,520 --> 00:52:13,719
Speaker 1: yard that wouldn't have been available. And every single kickoff

1029
00:52:14,120 --> 00:52:15,880
Speaker 1: that went through the back of the end zone this

1030
00:52:16,000 --> 00:52:19,560
Speaker 1: past Sunday that would not have been the case, especially

1031
00:52:19,640 --> 00:52:23,080
Speaker 1: kicking towards the scoreboard end on the kickoffs that Bass made.

1032
00:52:23,360 --> 00:52:26,200
Speaker 1: So it was more than just missing kicks. There's another

1033
00:52:26,280 --> 00:52:28,920
Speaker 1: special team's element to that, which is the kickoff and

1034
00:52:29,120 --> 00:52:32,880
Speaker 1: getting a higher touchback percentage, which you unquestionably get with Bass.

1035
00:52:33,280 --> 00:52:35,759
Speaker 1: You do not get that with Houshka. So it was twofold.

1036
00:52:36,120 --> 00:52:38,280
Speaker 1: I think all Bass had to do coming into training

1037
00:52:38,320 --> 00:52:40,680
Speaker 1: camp this year was proved that he could be as

1038
00:52:40,760 --> 00:52:43,160
Speaker 1: consistent on field goal attempts as Houshka, and in the

1039
00:52:43,200 --> 00:52:47,480
Speaker 1: training camp setting he was now Still there is the

1040
00:52:47,520 --> 00:52:50,800
Speaker 1: clutch factor that comes into play here because regular season

1041
00:52:50,840 --> 00:52:55,280
Speaker 1: games and playoff games carry much different kinds of pressure

1042
00:52:55,520 --> 00:52:58,520
Speaker 1: than a training camp competition. And that and Brandon Bean

1043
00:52:58,600 --> 00:53:02,479
Speaker 1: has said himself, we'll know soon enough if we made

1044
00:53:02,480 --> 00:53:04,440
Speaker 1: the right call. We have to take a break as

1045
00:53:04,440 --> 00:53:06,360
Speaker 1: we're at the top of the hour. Got a sports

1046
00:53:06,400 --> 00:53:08,640
Speaker 1: update coming your way, and then more of your phone

1047
00:53:08,640 --> 00:53:12,279
Speaker 1: calls on this Josh Allen carrying the ball debate. How

1048
00:53:12,360 --> 00:53:15,040
Speaker 1: much is too much? Should it be done anyway because

1049
00:53:15,080 --> 00:53:17,520
Speaker 1: it is such a potent weapon. We want your take

1050
00:53:17,560 --> 00:53:20,400
Speaker 1: on that. We'll also hear from Sean McDermott, who addressed

1051
00:53:20,400 --> 00:53:23,600
Speaker 1: that very topic as well with the media on Monday.

1052
00:53:23,760 --> 00:53:25,839
Speaker 1: All of that to come next here on One Bill's Live,

1053
00:53:25,880 --> 00:53:28,960
Speaker 1: presented by Collid to Health. This is Buffalo Bill's Radio

1054
00:53:38,400 --> 00:53:43,680
Speaker 1: Bills Radio Network Sports Update. Your sports update from One

1055
00:53:43,680 --> 00:53:46,080
Speaker 1: Bill's Drive. Bill's coach Sean McDermot gave an update on

1056
00:53:46,120 --> 00:53:48,520
Speaker 1: Monday on the status as starting linebackers Matt Milano and

1057
00:53:48,520 --> 00:53:51,200
Speaker 1: Tremaine Edmonds, both who suffered injuries that forced them out

1058
00:53:51,239 --> 00:53:54,360
Speaker 1: of Someday's game prematurely against the Jets. He said it

1059
00:53:54,400 --> 00:53:57,800
Speaker 1: doesn't appear that either of them have long term injuries,

1060
00:53:57,840 --> 00:54:00,360
Speaker 1: as both of them fall into the day to daycadory.

1061
00:54:00,400 --> 00:54:03,920
Speaker 1: Those were his words. Edmund suffered a shoulder injury, Milano

1062
00:54:03,920 --> 00:54:07,000
Speaker 1: tweaked his hamstring. Both left the game and did not return.

1063
00:54:07,400 --> 00:54:09,600
Speaker 1: The team returns to the practice field on Wednesday, and

1064
00:54:09,640 --> 00:54:11,160
Speaker 1: at that point we should know a little bit more

1065
00:54:11,160 --> 00:54:14,960
Speaker 1: about their status for Sunday's game in Miami. Week one

1066
00:54:15,000 --> 00:54:17,480
Speaker 1: wrapped up last night with two Monday night games. Ben

1067
00:54:17,560 --> 00:54:21,520
Speaker 1: Roethlisberger's return was highlighted by three touchdown passes in the

1068
00:54:21,560 --> 00:54:25,120
Speaker 1: steelers twenty six to sixteen victory over the Giants. Pittsburgh

1069
00:54:25,120 --> 00:54:28,560
Speaker 1: also limited New York's Sequon Barkley to just six yards

1070
00:54:28,600 --> 00:54:32,279
Speaker 1: rushing on fifteen carries. In the other game, it was

1071
00:54:32,320 --> 00:54:35,880
Speaker 1: the miscuse of Stephen Gastowski that told the tale for

1072
00:54:36,000 --> 00:54:38,240
Speaker 1: most of the night, as the Titans kicker missed three

1073
00:54:38,320 --> 00:54:41,080
Speaker 1: field goals and an extra point, but then hit the

1074
00:54:41,080 --> 00:54:44,040
Speaker 1: game winning twenty five yard field goal to lift Tennessee

1075
00:54:44,040 --> 00:54:47,520
Speaker 1: to a sixteen fourteen win over the Broncos to the

1076
00:54:47,560 --> 00:54:49,840
Speaker 1: ice one game tonight in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, the

1077
00:54:49,920 --> 00:54:53,160
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Lightning looked to knock the Islanders out and

1078
00:54:53,280 --> 00:54:56,160
Speaker 1: reach the Stanley Cup Finals. They currently leave their series

1079
00:54:56,160 --> 00:54:58,320
Speaker 1: with the Aisles three games to one. Face off tonight

1080
00:54:58,400 --> 00:55:01,720
Speaker 1: set for eight PM, and the winner of that series

1081
00:55:01,719 --> 00:55:04,360
Speaker 1: will face the Dallas Stars, who advanced to the finals

1082
00:55:04,680 --> 00:55:07,080
Speaker 1: for the first time since two thousand. I think we

1083
00:55:07,120 --> 00:55:10,160
Speaker 1: all remember that and the controversy surrounding that one. The

1084
00:55:10,200 --> 00:55:12,360
Speaker 1: Stars punched their ticket to the final on Monday with

1085
00:55:12,400 --> 00:55:15,440
Speaker 1: a three two overtime winning Game five of their Western

1086
00:55:15,480 --> 00:55:19,879
Speaker 1: Conference Final series with the Vegas Golden Nights. One more

1087
00:55:19,920 --> 00:55:22,040
Speaker 1: note from hockey. Peter Laviolette has been named the new

1088
00:55:22,080 --> 00:55:25,200
Speaker 1: coach of the Washington Capitals. The team announced that this morning.

1089
00:55:25,520 --> 00:55:27,800
Speaker 1: Laviolette steel is believed to be for three years. He

1090
00:55:27,880 --> 00:55:29,919
Speaker 1: won a Stanley Cup with the Hurricanes back in two

1091
00:55:29,960 --> 00:55:33,160
Speaker 1: thousand and six. Most recently coached the Nashville Predators, but

1092
00:55:33,280 --> 00:55:36,000
Speaker 1: was fired back in January after five and a half

1093
00:55:36,040 --> 00:55:39,560
Speaker 1: seasons with the team. That is your sports update from

1094
00:55:39,560 --> 00:55:42,200
Speaker 1: One Bill's Drive. Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you our

1095
00:55:42,320 --> 00:55:45,680
Speaker 1: number two of the program, and we are talking with

1096
00:55:45,760 --> 00:55:51,400
Speaker 1: you about the Josh Allen ball carrying debate. How much

1097
00:55:52,239 --> 00:55:55,600
Speaker 1: is too much? And there are varying degrees of what

1098
00:55:55,719 --> 00:55:58,680
Speaker 1: too much is for several Bills fans out there, which

1099
00:55:58,719 --> 00:56:01,480
Speaker 1: is why we gave you choice. Is at one Bills

1100
00:56:01,520 --> 00:56:05,840
Speaker 1: Live on the Twitter poll today? Is it a Josh

1101
00:56:05,880 --> 00:56:07,960
Speaker 1: Allen in the run game? Is a weapon? Use it often?

1102
00:56:08,640 --> 00:56:11,680
Speaker 1: B only if it's a matchup edge with the opponent

1103
00:56:12,440 --> 00:56:16,520
Speaker 1: c seldom one or two design runs a game d

1104
00:56:17,480 --> 00:56:21,680
Speaker 1: never not worth the risk and leading the poll right

1105
00:56:21,719 --> 00:56:24,319
Speaker 1: now is only if it's a matchup edge with an

1106
00:56:24,320 --> 00:56:27,600
Speaker 1: opponent getting four almost forty seven percent of the vote, Steve,

1107
00:56:28,320 --> 00:56:33,240
Speaker 1: and then after that it's all gung ho in second

1108
00:56:33,320 --> 00:56:35,680
Speaker 1: right now, it's a weapon. Use it often getting a

1109
00:56:35,680 --> 00:56:39,160
Speaker 1: little more than a third of the vote, So people

1110
00:56:39,200 --> 00:56:41,680
Speaker 1: in favor of it, and it's hard to deny, Steve.

1111
00:56:41,760 --> 00:56:44,960
Speaker 1: If it works. You know, yes there's a risk, but

1112
00:56:45,239 --> 00:56:47,439
Speaker 1: if it works, you gotta turn to it. Not all

1113
00:56:47,480 --> 00:56:49,799
Speaker 1: the time, but it's got to be part of the plan.

1114
00:56:51,440 --> 00:56:54,200
Speaker 1: I say, use it when you need it, no matter

1115
00:56:54,239 --> 00:56:55,799
Speaker 1: how many times the game it is. Yeah, I was

1116
00:56:55,800 --> 00:56:59,120
Speaker 1: in that category. Can you can't play, you can't play

1117
00:56:59,120 --> 00:57:02,279
Speaker 1: scared And you know you got all these you know,

1118
00:57:02,400 --> 00:57:06,880
Speaker 1: people making alley you know, uh, comparisons to you know,

1119
00:57:07,680 --> 00:57:09,640
Speaker 1: all the stuff that football is, how violent, is how

1120
00:57:09,640 --> 00:57:11,200
Speaker 1: brutal it is, you know, and all this stuff. But

1121
00:57:11,719 --> 00:57:14,000
Speaker 1: listen that these guys get paid to play. Everybody's playing.

1122
00:57:14,200 --> 00:57:16,880
Speaker 1: It's a dangerous game for everybody out there, whoever carries

1123
00:57:16,920 --> 00:57:20,440
Speaker 1: the ball. It's dangerous for um. You're not you're not

1124
00:57:20,520 --> 00:57:24,240
Speaker 1: worried about getting Zach Moss or Devin Singletary hurting. And

1125
00:57:24,880 --> 00:57:27,240
Speaker 1: they have just as much opportunity or a chance to

1126
00:57:27,280 --> 00:57:32,120
Speaker 1: get hurt as anybody else. So if it works, use it.

1127
00:57:33,000 --> 00:57:35,520
Speaker 1: If it doesn't, don't. Yeah, And I don't care how

1128
00:57:35,520 --> 00:57:38,120
Speaker 1: many times a game it is. It's the reason you

1129
00:57:38,200 --> 00:57:41,040
Speaker 1: do is because it's working, and he's not taking hits,

1130
00:57:41,040 --> 00:57:43,160
Speaker 1: and he's getting good yards, and he's running out of

1131
00:57:43,160 --> 00:57:45,360
Speaker 1: bounds and he's sliding and he's doing all this other stuff,

1132
00:57:45,360 --> 00:57:47,840
Speaker 1: so that all kind of goes in. He does get

1133
00:57:47,840 --> 00:57:52,880
Speaker 1: out of bounds, no, um no, but he did. You know,

1134
00:57:52,880 --> 00:57:54,880
Speaker 1: he did run out of bounds and did avoid some

1135
00:57:55,000 --> 00:57:57,360
Speaker 1: hits this last year week, although he took some hits

1136
00:57:57,400 --> 00:58:00,360
Speaker 1: as well as we all saw. So I'm let him

1137
00:58:00,360 --> 00:58:05,640
Speaker 1: play football. It's the way he plays. He's your quarterback.

1138
00:58:06,080 --> 00:58:09,960
Speaker 1: Use him to his skill sets, best advantage, and if

1139
00:58:09,960 --> 00:58:13,760
Speaker 1: that includes tucking it under his arm and running, so

1140
00:58:13,920 --> 00:58:15,760
Speaker 1: be it. All right. Let's go to the phones at

1141
00:58:15,760 --> 00:58:17,920
Speaker 1: eight oh three, five fifty, and we lead off this

1142
00:58:18,000 --> 00:58:21,120
Speaker 1: segment with Rob in Buffalo. Rob, what do you have

1143
00:58:21,200 --> 00:58:24,360
Speaker 1: for us on this debate here? Guys? Thanks for taking

1144
00:58:24,400 --> 00:58:28,240
Speaker 1: my call, Steve youer, You're right, I'd like to see

1145
00:58:28,280 --> 00:58:31,400
Speaker 1: it occasionally. He is a weapon, but I think there's

1146
00:58:31,440 --> 00:58:34,120
Speaker 1: a there's a difference here. You have to really consider

1147
00:58:34,200 --> 00:58:38,560
Speaker 1: the difference between a designated run, the designed run versus

1148
00:58:38,680 --> 00:58:41,000
Speaker 1: Josh running away from pressure when he's already taking a

1149
00:58:41,040 --> 00:58:45,840
Speaker 1: seven steps dropped and he's the field and runs. He's

1150
00:58:45,840 --> 00:58:48,360
Speaker 1: gotten better about getting out of bounds. This last game

1151
00:58:48,440 --> 00:58:50,840
Speaker 1: proved it. But when you're in the third quarter, like

1152
00:58:50,960 --> 00:58:53,760
Speaker 1: Milton brought up, you're up twenty one or nothing. This

1153
00:58:53,920 --> 00:58:56,439
Speaker 1: has to be situational. That's not a time to take

1154
00:58:56,440 --> 00:58:58,720
Speaker 1: the chance that he's going to take the head. You've

1155
00:58:58,760 --> 00:59:02,080
Speaker 1: got to be smarter about he runs the ball. Would

1156
00:59:02,160 --> 00:59:05,360
Speaker 1: I would agree. And here's the other thing we have

1157
00:59:05,400 --> 00:59:07,840
Speaker 1: to take into account. To Rob and thanks very much

1158
00:59:07,880 --> 00:59:10,640
Speaker 1: for the call. I think we have to take this

1159
00:59:10,680 --> 00:59:13,600
Speaker 1: into account, Steve, in terms of the frequency with which

1160
00:59:13,600 --> 00:59:16,360
Speaker 1: you turn to designed runs for Josh, I think you

1161
00:59:16,560 --> 00:59:21,240
Speaker 1: have to expect probably a half a dozen times a

1162
00:59:21,320 --> 00:59:25,400
Speaker 1: game when the pocket breaks down or Josh maybe takes

1163
00:59:25,440 --> 00:59:28,200
Speaker 1: an extra pad of the football, that he's going to

1164
00:59:28,480 --> 00:59:33,040
Speaker 1: naturally roll out, scramble and extend the play already. So

1165
00:59:33,200 --> 00:59:36,080
Speaker 1: essentially there are gonna be half a dozen pass plays

1166
00:59:36,120 --> 00:59:38,800
Speaker 1: that you call where he might end up tucking and

1167
00:59:38,880 --> 00:59:42,320
Speaker 1: running it anyway. So I think you have to factor

1168
00:59:42,400 --> 00:59:45,400
Speaker 1: that in to the amount of times you want to

1169
00:59:45,440 --> 00:59:49,280
Speaker 1: expose Josh in the running game with the design calls

1170
00:59:49,320 --> 00:59:51,360
Speaker 1: that you make, because I think there's gonna be five

1171
00:59:51,480 --> 00:59:53,560
Speaker 1: or six times where he's just going to run it

1172
00:59:53,600 --> 00:59:58,040
Speaker 1: on his own after a pass play breaks down. Absolutely,

1173
00:59:59,400 --> 01:00:03,160
Speaker 1: does that count as them using him in the run game. Well,

1174
01:00:03,200 --> 01:00:05,000
Speaker 1: I'm not saying it counts as them using in the

1175
01:00:05,080 --> 01:00:07,560
Speaker 1: run game, but they should factor it in to how

1176
01:00:07,640 --> 01:00:10,360
Speaker 1: much they want to call designed runs. I mean, if

1177
01:00:10,360 --> 01:00:13,120
Speaker 1: he's getting thirty yards every design run, well duck, keep

1178
01:00:13,200 --> 01:00:15,160
Speaker 1: running it if the defense is going to be that stupid.

1179
01:00:16,440 --> 01:00:18,400
Speaker 1: But what I'm saying is when you're putting your game

1180
01:00:18,440 --> 01:00:20,360
Speaker 1: plan together and you want to use it as an

1181
01:00:20,360 --> 01:00:23,000
Speaker 1: element in your game, and you say, all right, well,

1182
01:00:23,040 --> 01:00:24,640
Speaker 1: you know, I'm probably over the course of the game,

1183
01:00:24,960 --> 01:00:27,280
Speaker 1: I'd like to see him run at eleven times. You know,

1184
01:00:27,360 --> 01:00:30,400
Speaker 1: in the course of this sixty minute game. You got

1185
01:00:30,400 --> 01:00:33,000
Speaker 1: to believe that six of those times are probably going

1186
01:00:33,080 --> 01:00:36,240
Speaker 1: to happen on busted pass plays because that's what he does.

1187
01:00:36,360 --> 01:00:39,560
Speaker 1: So you're saying so say only call five design run plays,

1188
01:00:39,600 --> 01:00:42,200
Speaker 1: knowing half dozen times he's probably just gonna run on

1189
01:00:42,200 --> 01:00:45,000
Speaker 1: his own, just for the way he kind of interprets

1190
01:00:45,040 --> 01:00:47,080
Speaker 1: and feels the game. All right, let me ask another

1191
01:00:47,240 --> 01:00:51,080
Speaker 1: layer of this question. Do you think and I kind

1192
01:00:51,120 --> 01:00:53,200
Speaker 1: of think this, and I've said it a ton of times,

1193
01:00:53,240 --> 01:00:56,000
Speaker 1: I still believe it. And I believe the same thing

1194
01:00:56,040 --> 01:00:59,920
Speaker 1: for Cam Newton. He's a great option on short yardage

1195
01:01:00,040 --> 01:01:03,200
Speaker 1: goal line plays because of the size he is, because

1196
01:01:03,200 --> 01:01:04,880
Speaker 1: he's already got the ball in his hands, because he

1197
01:01:04,880 --> 01:01:07,040
Speaker 1: can run it out, a shotgun, out a pistol, from

1198
01:01:07,120 --> 01:01:10,560
Speaker 1: under center, all of that. From wherever you want to

1199
01:01:10,560 --> 01:01:14,560
Speaker 1: snap the ball to him, he's available to get a yard.

1200
01:01:16,240 --> 01:01:19,280
Speaker 1: How much do you factor that into it rather than

1201
01:01:19,320 --> 01:01:25,360
Speaker 1: out in the in the open field. Well, I mean,

1202
01:01:25,400 --> 01:01:29,000
Speaker 1: I see what you're saying there, Um, Because everybody has this,

1203
01:01:29,040 --> 01:01:30,880
Speaker 1: you know, we're all kind of automatically think it's gonna

1204
01:01:30,880 --> 01:01:32,840
Speaker 1: be He's gonna tug and he's gonna run for these

1205
01:01:32,880 --> 01:01:34,720
Speaker 1: broken like we've seen him. Do you know run for

1206
01:01:34,760 --> 01:01:38,520
Speaker 1: twenty five yards? Now? Run one? About his first start

1207
01:01:38,560 --> 01:01:41,000
Speaker 1: against Miami, Steve, I mean, he was turning get screwing

1208
01:01:41,000 --> 01:01:44,040
Speaker 1: guys into the ground. I mean, Kiko Alonso is still spinning, right,

1209
01:01:44,560 --> 01:01:46,640
Speaker 1: you know, I know. But so that's that's kind of

1210
01:01:46,680 --> 01:01:48,600
Speaker 1: what we picture the running game for the quarterback to

1211
01:01:48,640 --> 01:01:51,120
Speaker 1: look like, you know, just let's go. He tucks under

1212
01:01:52,080 --> 01:01:54,480
Speaker 1: runs the end sweep into the end zone with you know,

1213
01:01:54,640 --> 01:01:59,360
Speaker 1: in convoy. Yeah, or is it a quarterback sneak all

1214
01:01:59,400 --> 01:02:03,560
Speaker 1: out dalla Us on Thanksgiving last year? You know, is

1215
01:02:03,560 --> 01:02:06,520
Speaker 1: it extra? And also that quarterback draw he had where

1216
01:02:06,520 --> 01:02:08,720
Speaker 1: he kept got it in the pistol, took one step, drop,

1217
01:02:08,760 --> 01:02:11,520
Speaker 1: look down the field, and just a cold run called

1218
01:02:11,600 --> 01:02:16,800
Speaker 1: quarterback draw, and that was a really successful play. When

1219
01:02:16,840 --> 01:02:21,600
Speaker 1: you say run, run, Josh Allen, what are we talking about?

1220
01:02:21,760 --> 01:02:24,600
Speaker 1: Are we talking about cold runs where it's probably all

1221
01:02:24,600 --> 01:02:28,400
Speaker 1: of those? Probably all of the above, right, So some

1222
01:02:28,480 --> 01:02:30,880
Speaker 1: of that a good a large percentage, like you said,

1223
01:02:30,880 --> 01:02:33,080
Speaker 1: I don't know what the percentage is, half a third

1224
01:02:33,520 --> 01:02:39,400
Speaker 1: a quarter. Nine are plays where okay, just tuck the

1225
01:02:39,400 --> 01:02:41,520
Speaker 1: ball up and let's go. You know, we're gonna let

1226
01:02:41,520 --> 01:02:44,600
Speaker 1: you run. We're looking at the Houston playoff game last

1227
01:02:44,640 --> 01:02:47,840
Speaker 1: year where they ran the quarterback sweep and he's trundling,

1228
01:02:47,920 --> 01:02:52,560
Speaker 1: bundling that forty yards. That's a difference you know, and

1229
01:02:52,600 --> 01:02:56,600
Speaker 1: then uh, then we're watching a quarterback option with Devin

1230
01:02:56,680 --> 01:02:59,959
Speaker 1: Singletary last year in Miami where he busts loose again

1231
01:03:00,000 --> 01:03:03,720
Speaker 1: and goes for big yards um and goes into the

1232
01:03:04,120 --> 01:03:07,160
Speaker 1: Actually he didn't make a touchdown there. You know, it's

1233
01:03:07,160 --> 01:03:13,080
Speaker 1: a huge play. So here's the problem. Um, every time

1234
01:03:13,120 --> 01:03:17,600
Speaker 1: he runs it, you get huge plays, and then you

1235
01:03:17,720 --> 01:03:20,240
Speaker 1: lose a game because you were reticent to run the

1236
01:03:20,240 --> 01:03:23,000
Speaker 1: thing three more times in the same game, and then

1237
01:03:23,040 --> 01:03:27,120
Speaker 1: you end up losing the game. And I mean, that's

1238
01:03:27,200 --> 01:03:31,439
Speaker 1: the that's the the other side of the sword, right,

1239
01:03:32,400 --> 01:03:35,720
Speaker 1: And I think you can make the argument. You could

1240
01:03:35,720 --> 01:03:37,800
Speaker 1: make the argument about anything in terms of the risk

1241
01:03:37,840 --> 01:03:41,160
Speaker 1: of injury. Here the sneak might be the most dangerous

1242
01:03:41,200 --> 01:03:45,600
Speaker 1: one of them. All Right, you're lowering your head. I

1243
01:03:45,600 --> 01:03:47,200
Speaker 1: mean you can get a knee ripped up out in

1244
01:03:47,200 --> 01:03:50,560
Speaker 1: the open field if somebody it's I'll tell you what

1245
01:03:50,680 --> 01:03:55,360
Speaker 1: it's probably And that sounds crazy, It's probably not that

1246
01:03:56,200 --> 01:04:01,040
Speaker 1: dangerous because there's no velocity. There's eight and there's power,

1247
01:04:01,640 --> 01:04:04,160
Speaker 1: but there's no velocity, you know what I'm saying. Out

1248
01:04:04,200 --> 01:04:07,800
Speaker 1: in the field, there's velocity and weight and open field

1249
01:04:07,600 --> 01:04:11,800
Speaker 1: and the inability to brace if and that's where you

1250
01:04:11,800 --> 01:04:13,439
Speaker 1: get hurt is when you don't know the things coming,

1251
01:04:13,480 --> 01:04:16,520
Speaker 1: you get hit from behind or drag down labels. Yeah,

1252
01:04:16,600 --> 01:04:19,800
Speaker 1: so the quarterback sneak. But I will say this, even

1253
01:04:19,840 --> 01:04:25,760
Speaker 1: though I think it's probably percentage wise safer, it's the

1254
01:04:26,040 --> 01:04:28,680
Speaker 1: least fun to run because you are gonna mix it up,

1255
01:04:29,280 --> 01:04:31,120
Speaker 1: and you're gonna mix it up with guys who are

1256
01:04:31,200 --> 01:04:34,280
Speaker 1: big and nasty, and they are looking to make you hurt.

1257
01:04:35,400 --> 01:04:37,040
Speaker 1: They want to they want to make you regret that

1258
01:04:37,080 --> 01:04:40,920
Speaker 1: little quarterback sneak. So it's no fun to run. You

1259
01:04:40,960 --> 01:04:43,600
Speaker 1: may not get a catastrophic injury, but you're gonna it's

1260
01:04:43,600 --> 01:04:45,920
Speaker 1: gonna be zero fun to run that play. Let's get

1261
01:04:45,960 --> 01:04:48,160
Speaker 1: back to the phones at eight oh three five fifty

1262
01:04:48,240 --> 01:04:50,760
Speaker 1: one eight eight eight five fifty two, five fifty open

1263
01:04:50,800 --> 01:04:54,280
Speaker 1: line for you. There we go to. This is Lang

1264
01:04:54,400 --> 01:04:57,520
Speaker 1: in Buffalo. This that's the name. I'm being shown Lang.

1265
01:04:57,520 --> 01:04:59,600
Speaker 1: What do you have for us here? How are you doing?

1266
01:05:00,600 --> 01:05:04,120
Speaker 1: Thanks guys for taking me. I uh. My comment is

1267
01:05:04,120 --> 01:05:08,520
Speaker 1: on Josh Allen's running. I think the calls are bad,

1268
01:05:09,000 --> 01:05:11,600
Speaker 1: not all of them, but keeping out everything you've been saying,

1269
01:05:11,600 --> 01:05:14,240
Speaker 1: I agree with I love when he runs. I love

1270
01:05:14,320 --> 01:05:16,920
Speaker 1: to see him run. He's gonna see plays that he

1271
01:05:17,000 --> 01:05:18,760
Speaker 1: just takes off on his own. That was part of

1272
01:05:18,800 --> 01:05:22,640
Speaker 1: his game. Okay, I'm okay with that. But like we

1273
01:05:22,840 --> 01:05:25,680
Speaker 1: up twenty one zero and they were calling more run

1274
01:05:25,720 --> 01:05:28,440
Speaker 1: plays than they were calling for Devin single Tarry And

1275
01:05:28,520 --> 01:05:32,320
Speaker 1: I'm like, wait a minute, then running back a running back, Yeah,

1276
01:05:32,400 --> 01:05:35,640
Speaker 1: back shouldn't be getting more calls call for him than

1277
01:05:35,720 --> 01:05:40,600
Speaker 1: our running back. Is Singletary nicked up? Well? Where link

1278
01:05:40,640 --> 01:05:44,040
Speaker 1: think about it. Devin Singletary had nine rushes in the games,

1279
01:05:44,080 --> 01:05:46,160
Speaker 1: Zac Moss had nine rushes in the game and they

1280
01:05:46,240 --> 01:05:48,880
Speaker 1: got nothing. Yeah, that was the problem they was the

1281
01:05:48,880 --> 01:05:51,720
Speaker 1: player running into a stone wall up front. The line

1282
01:05:51,720 --> 01:05:55,040
Speaker 1: couldn't reset the line of scrimmage against the Jets defensive

1283
01:05:55,040 --> 01:05:57,080
Speaker 1: front that was number two against the run last year.

1284
01:05:57,120 --> 01:05:59,080
Speaker 1: So I think it was due in part to the

1285
01:05:59,160 --> 01:06:02,240
Speaker 1: lack of success that mosson Singletary were having at the

1286
01:06:02,280 --> 01:06:05,560
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage because they had safeties and linebackers flying

1287
01:06:05,680 --> 01:06:08,200
Speaker 1: up there and committing to stop in the run and

1288
01:06:08,320 --> 01:06:12,480
Speaker 1: to a large extent, on regular handoffs they did that. Yeah, Well,

1289
01:06:12,520 --> 01:06:16,160
Speaker 1: can I can I say something? Go ahead? If I so,

1290
01:06:16,440 --> 01:06:20,480
Speaker 1: I've been watching football stuff a young kid, Jim Brown,

1291
01:06:21,680 --> 01:06:27,280
Speaker 1: Walter Payton, Earl Campbell, Barry Sanders, and miss Smith. Every

1292
01:06:27,440 --> 01:06:30,800
Speaker 1: team they played came in game planning for him, and

1293
01:06:30,960 --> 01:06:34,520
Speaker 1: the first quarters, the first few quarters they'd have nuggetive

1294
01:06:34,600 --> 01:06:37,280
Speaker 1: yard it looked like the run game wasn't working. They

1295
01:06:37,440 --> 01:06:40,000
Speaker 1: be getting pounded. Then by the end of the game

1296
01:06:40,400 --> 01:06:44,200
Speaker 1: they'd have over one hundred yards. What nine carries. You

1297
01:06:44,280 --> 01:06:46,440
Speaker 1: can't get the field for the game. You gotta let

1298
01:06:46,480 --> 01:06:48,640
Speaker 1: your running back get the field. You gotta let your

1299
01:06:48,720 --> 01:06:52,400
Speaker 1: running back deliver some punishment. Okay, they were sudden them down,

1300
01:06:52,800 --> 01:06:54,760
Speaker 1: but if you keep going at them, they're gonna start

1301
01:06:54,800 --> 01:06:58,600
Speaker 1: wearing out. Yeah, and I think I think maybe Lang's

1302
01:06:58,640 --> 01:07:02,000
Speaker 1: most important point. You're up twenty one points. If the

1303
01:07:02,080 --> 01:07:04,360
Speaker 1: running game doesn't work with the way your defense is playing,

1304
01:07:04,400 --> 01:07:07,000
Speaker 1: who the hell cares? Just keep pounding them and wearing

1305
01:07:07,040 --> 01:07:09,800
Speaker 1: them down, you know what I mean. You're up three scores,

1306
01:07:10,440 --> 01:07:12,919
Speaker 1: So I will agree with Laying from that standpoint. Yeah,

1307
01:07:12,920 --> 01:07:15,280
Speaker 1: the running game wasn't working, and Josh was the best

1308
01:07:15,320 --> 01:07:18,640
Speaker 1: element of your run game that was. But you're up

1309
01:07:18,680 --> 01:07:21,960
Speaker 1: three scores. You can keep pounding it. Now that might

1310
01:07:22,000 --> 01:07:23,880
Speaker 1: not look all that creative, and it may not be

1311
01:07:23,960 --> 01:07:28,120
Speaker 1: sexy for the fans to watch. But and the reason

1312
01:07:28,160 --> 01:07:30,000
Speaker 1: they probably didn't do that is because it was still

1313
01:07:30,040 --> 01:07:32,600
Speaker 1: the first half. Yeah, you know, a lot of time left.

1314
01:07:32,640 --> 01:07:35,080
Speaker 1: But if you're a third late third quarter and you're

1315
01:07:35,120 --> 01:07:38,080
Speaker 1: still up three scores, which wasn't the case because Jets

1316
01:07:38,080 --> 01:07:41,400
Speaker 1: climb back into it, why not keep pounding it and

1317
01:07:41,520 --> 01:07:43,480
Speaker 1: see what you can get. I know, want to bang

1318
01:07:43,520 --> 01:07:45,200
Speaker 1: your head into a wall. But at the same time,

1319
01:07:45,280 --> 01:07:48,160
Speaker 1: and I agree Laying that's a great calls and you're right,

1320
01:07:48,520 --> 01:07:50,480
Speaker 1: there are times, and that's the old adage where a

1321
01:07:50,480 --> 01:07:52,400
Speaker 1: guy's stronger in the fourth quarter than he is in

1322
01:07:52,400 --> 01:07:55,720
Speaker 1: the first quarter. It's a little different now, different game

1323
01:07:55,760 --> 01:07:57,480
Speaker 1: now it is. It is a little different game. But

1324
01:07:57,680 --> 01:07:59,520
Speaker 1: what that alludes to is the fact that he's not

1325
01:07:59,560 --> 01:08:02,720
Speaker 1: any stronger, but the defense is just gassed. And I

1326
01:08:02,760 --> 01:08:05,000
Speaker 1: remember this. I played for the Houston Oilers and it

1327
01:08:05,040 --> 01:08:08,880
Speaker 1: was a year I think the next year after Earl

1328
01:08:08,960 --> 01:08:11,320
Speaker 1: Campbell was not an oiler. Maybe it was two years after.

1329
01:08:11,440 --> 01:08:13,200
Speaker 1: I think it was the next year after Earl Campbell

1330
01:08:13,240 --> 01:08:14,960
Speaker 1: was not an oiler. Maybe maybe it was two years

1331
01:08:15,280 --> 01:08:17,160
Speaker 1: at eighty four might have been his last year, and right,

1332
01:08:17,200 --> 01:08:19,479
Speaker 1: so my first year was eighty five, for the Oilers.

1333
01:08:19,560 --> 01:08:23,320
Speaker 1: So the guys in the locker room that I was

1334
01:08:23,360 --> 01:08:26,320
Speaker 1: a rookie with would talk about Earl and the training

1335
01:08:26,360 --> 01:08:28,160
Speaker 1: staff and all those guys. You know, Earl was pretty

1336
01:08:28,280 --> 01:08:30,160
Speaker 1: iconic in that locker room, even though he wasn't there

1337
01:08:30,240 --> 01:08:33,760
Speaker 1: bit right, So they would say, I saw that. I

1338
01:08:33,800 --> 01:08:35,519
Speaker 1: remember they he goes. I gotta tell you, I watched

1339
01:08:35,600 --> 01:08:37,640
Speaker 1: him play a lot, you know, on the sidelines. And

1340
01:08:37,680 --> 01:08:40,759
Speaker 1: these guys watched Earl Campbell throughout his career, and they said,

1341
01:08:41,680 --> 01:08:46,320
Speaker 1: people just got sick of tackling him during the game.

1342
01:08:47,040 --> 01:08:49,519
Speaker 1: They got sick of it. They got in the third quarter,

1343
01:08:49,640 --> 01:08:54,320
Speaker 1: fourth quarter, man, they were they had enough. But you know,

1344
01:08:54,479 --> 01:09:00,320
Speaker 1: Earl Campbell, Jim Brown, we're talking about big men there. Yeah,

1345
01:09:00,360 --> 01:09:04,200
Speaker 1: and all those guys, they just get sick of tackling them.

1346
01:09:04,680 --> 01:09:09,000
Speaker 1: And you're right, particularly with you got if you got

1347
01:09:09,000 --> 01:09:11,080
Speaker 1: two backs, you can hand it Tune Devin Singletary and

1348
01:09:11,200 --> 01:09:14,479
Speaker 1: Zach Moss. You can keep pounding. But it's it is

1349
01:09:14,479 --> 01:09:17,040
Speaker 1: a different game now. It's hard to compare that, but

1350
01:09:17,080 --> 01:09:19,200
Speaker 1: there's certainly the point is there to be made if

1351
01:09:19,200 --> 01:09:21,040
Speaker 1: you if you want to run the ball that much

1352
01:09:21,080 --> 01:09:23,479
Speaker 1: and you want to hang in there like that, I mean,

1353
01:09:23,479 --> 01:09:25,240
Speaker 1: you look at the guy in Tennessee, Derrick Henry. He

1354
01:09:25,280 --> 01:09:27,320
Speaker 1: got it done last night, one hundred and fifteen yards.

1355
01:09:27,520 --> 01:09:31,720
Speaker 1: Listen on thirty carries. Yeah, that is not gonna that's

1356
01:09:31,840 --> 01:09:36,479
Speaker 1: ultra productive. That is not sustainable. And when your quarterback

1357
01:09:36,520 --> 01:09:40,080
Speaker 1: throws and complete seventy percent of his balls, that helps.

1358
01:09:40,080 --> 01:09:42,360
Speaker 1: And they did that last night. But they barely escaped.

1359
01:09:43,320 --> 01:09:47,080
Speaker 1: But we'll see. The point is well taken. Lying. I

1360
01:09:47,439 --> 01:09:49,280
Speaker 1: get that you need a back, you need to get

1361
01:09:49,280 --> 01:09:53,080
Speaker 1: a guy into the rhythm of the game, but a

1362
01:09:53,120 --> 01:09:55,840
Speaker 1: lot of time you can't wait on that to happen. Now,

1363
01:09:55,840 --> 01:09:58,880
Speaker 1: certainly this is a game where you might have but man,

1364
01:09:58,920 --> 01:10:00,360
Speaker 1: oh man, it's hard to argue with what they were

1365
01:10:00,400 --> 01:10:03,479
Speaker 1: doing offensively. They have fourteen play drive. I mean, they

1366
01:10:03,840 --> 01:10:07,160
Speaker 1: were they were dominating. So I guess it's easy to,

1367
01:10:08,040 --> 01:10:10,479
Speaker 1: you know, sprinkle a little more sugar on how well

1368
01:10:10,520 --> 01:10:12,200
Speaker 1: they played if they would have done this and that

1369
01:10:12,280 --> 01:10:14,960
Speaker 1: and the other. But it would think about how different

1370
01:10:15,000 --> 01:10:16,519
Speaker 1: that game would have been if Josh would not have

1371
01:10:17,240 --> 01:10:20,040
Speaker 1: would not have fumbled twice and able to hit two

1372
01:10:20,040 --> 01:10:22,559
Speaker 1: other passes in the end zone. Let's go to Josh,

1373
01:10:22,600 --> 01:10:25,360
Speaker 1: who wants to talk about Josh at eight oh three,

1374
01:10:25,600 --> 01:10:29,800
Speaker 1: five fifty Josh and Boston, what do you have for us? Sir? Hey,

1375
01:10:29,880 --> 01:10:32,840
Speaker 1: what's up? Man? Um? I've been dying to get on

1376
01:10:32,880 --> 01:10:36,479
Speaker 1: with you guys every time I call I just I'd

1377
01:10:36,479 --> 01:10:39,360
Speaker 1: never get on. But uh no, I just think that

1378
01:10:39,400 --> 01:10:41,320
Speaker 1: a foul and can I'm sit in the pocket the

1379
01:10:41,360 --> 01:10:43,920
Speaker 1: way he did yesterday throw the ball. There's no need

1380
01:10:44,000 --> 01:10:47,679
Speaker 1: to really have to draw our plays like that where

1381
01:10:47,680 --> 01:10:51,679
Speaker 1: you're going to risk him getting hurt, you know, Yeah, listen,

1382
01:10:51,720 --> 01:10:54,080
Speaker 1: if he you're right, I get you, Josh. If he

1383
01:10:54,120 --> 01:10:56,600
Speaker 1: can complete seventy two percent of his passes like he

1384
01:10:56,640 --> 01:10:59,000
Speaker 1: did on Sunday, he might not need to run. Yeah,

1385
01:10:59,040 --> 01:11:01,800
Speaker 1: they may not right that every week, though. Yeah, I

1386
01:11:01,800 --> 01:11:03,960
Speaker 1: don't think that's happening every week either because they're not

1387
01:11:03,960 --> 01:11:07,639
Speaker 1: going to face a passing defense or a secondary as

1388
01:11:07,720 --> 01:11:09,759
Speaker 1: weak as the one that the Jets put on the field.

1389
01:11:09,760 --> 01:11:12,360
Speaker 1: And they're gonna find that out this week with Xavian

1390
01:11:12,439 --> 01:11:15,840
Speaker 1: Howard and Byron Jones playing corner for the Dolphins along

1391
01:11:15,880 --> 01:11:18,880
Speaker 1: with their top pick who's playing in the slot in Igbanogene.

1392
01:11:19,200 --> 01:11:21,120
Speaker 1: So there's gonna be three guys are they're gonna be

1393
01:11:21,160 --> 01:11:23,280
Speaker 1: able to put out there? So that run game better

1394
01:11:23,320 --> 01:11:27,160
Speaker 1: work this week, definitely. I think it just really didn't

1395
01:11:27,160 --> 01:11:29,360
Speaker 1: try to get the running game going last game because

1396
01:11:29,439 --> 01:11:31,800
Speaker 1: the passing game was just going so well. So it's like, what,

1397
01:11:32,080 --> 01:11:35,479
Speaker 1: you know, why, But I just think that having him

1398
01:11:35,560 --> 01:11:37,519
Speaker 1: run that play when we were up twenty one nothing

1399
01:11:37,520 --> 01:11:41,040
Speaker 1: and risking him getting hurt that was it just wasn't smart.

1400
01:11:41,680 --> 01:11:43,960
Speaker 1: But I mean, you can't take it away from his game. Obviously,

1401
01:11:44,040 --> 01:11:46,800
Speaker 1: that's what makes Josh Allen who he is. But if

1402
01:11:46,840 --> 01:11:48,640
Speaker 1: he can throw like that all season, I think you

1403
01:11:48,760 --> 01:11:51,200
Speaker 1: try to limit it as much as you can because

1404
01:11:51,800 --> 01:11:54,880
Speaker 1: he already scrambles a lot when the play breaks down,

1405
01:11:54,960 --> 01:11:57,360
Speaker 1: So you just just you don't want to get a concussion,

1406
01:11:57,439 --> 01:11:59,559
Speaker 1: especially with the way the protocols out of these days,

1407
01:12:00,400 --> 01:12:03,360
Speaker 1: it's just not worth it. And I don't think anybody,

1408
01:12:03,479 --> 01:12:06,160
Speaker 1: I mean, not that Matt Blackley. He's not the worst.

1409
01:12:06,360 --> 01:12:10,960
Speaker 1: I mean he's not the best, but I meant, yeah, absolutely,

1410
01:12:11,000 --> 01:12:13,080
Speaker 1: you want to keep your guy healthy. And thanks for

1411
01:12:13,120 --> 01:12:16,360
Speaker 1: the calle Josh. That's it's good stuff. You're right right now.

1412
01:12:16,400 --> 01:12:17,920
Speaker 1: I mean, this is a nice place to be in

1413
01:12:17,960 --> 01:12:19,840
Speaker 1: if you're a Bills fan. You're talking about did he

1414
01:12:19,880 --> 01:12:22,519
Speaker 1: do too many good things for Josh. You know, certainly

1415
01:12:22,520 --> 01:12:25,479
Speaker 1: he made a couple of mistakes. Yeah, they were his mistakes.

1416
01:12:25,479 --> 01:12:29,360
Speaker 1: The two fumbles were his mistakes. But even aside from that,

1417
01:12:30,040 --> 01:12:31,960
Speaker 1: you don't want to see him getting chopped down like

1418
01:12:32,000 --> 01:12:34,200
Speaker 1: he did the other day either where guys are coming

1419
01:12:34,240 --> 01:12:35,800
Speaker 1: and taking him out at the thighs, trying to get

1420
01:12:35,880 --> 01:12:38,120
Speaker 1: him off his feet, because you know they can't take it.

1421
01:12:38,160 --> 01:12:41,479
Speaker 1: They can't you know, go high on a guy anymore. So, um,

1422
01:12:41,520 --> 01:12:45,360
Speaker 1: it is a risk, but it's also something and it's

1423
01:12:45,680 --> 01:12:47,639
Speaker 1: and I get the point where people say, don't give

1424
01:12:47,640 --> 01:12:50,360
Speaker 1: it to him because, like you said, a large percent

1425
01:12:50,400 --> 01:12:53,720
Speaker 1: of his past plays, he's gonna avoid rush. He's gonna

1426
01:12:53,720 --> 01:12:55,760
Speaker 1: pull it down and just run with it, and that's

1427
01:12:55,800 --> 01:12:58,880
Speaker 1: gonna be enough of a threat rather than just drawn

1428
01:12:58,960 --> 01:13:01,920
Speaker 1: up plays. It seems a good portion of the college

1429
01:13:01,920 --> 01:13:06,160
Speaker 1: we've had today have an issue with the time and

1430
01:13:06,240 --> 01:13:08,479
Speaker 1: score of the game. Near the end of the first half,

1431
01:13:08,520 --> 01:13:10,639
Speaker 1: when they're in the red zone and they call another

1432
01:13:10,680 --> 01:13:13,200
Speaker 1: design run for Josh and he fumbles the ball when

1433
01:13:13,240 --> 01:13:15,400
Speaker 1: he gets up ended, do you think that is a

1434
01:13:15,439 --> 01:13:18,280
Speaker 1: bone of contention because of how that play ended, Purely

1435
01:13:18,320 --> 01:13:21,120
Speaker 1: because of how that play ended, with points being taken

1436
01:13:21,160 --> 01:13:23,360
Speaker 1: off the board because he's running and he fumbled. Or

1437
01:13:23,400 --> 01:13:25,559
Speaker 1: do you think people are more concerned with that play

1438
01:13:25,840 --> 01:13:28,400
Speaker 1: because they watched Josh go head over heels and worry

1439
01:13:28,439 --> 01:13:30,640
Speaker 1: about him getting hurt. Do you think it is I

1440
01:13:30,680 --> 01:13:33,639
Speaker 1: think it's the result. I think it's the fumble that

1441
01:13:33,640 --> 01:13:35,880
Speaker 1: that play goes, because that's the play that everybody's talking

1442
01:13:35,880 --> 01:13:37,640
Speaker 1: about right now. Why are they doing that? Why are

1443
01:13:37,640 --> 01:13:40,680
Speaker 1: they doing that? It's too much. That play is completely forgotten.

1444
01:13:40,960 --> 01:13:43,080
Speaker 1: If he ends up on the ground there, they go

1445
01:13:43,080 --> 01:13:44,920
Speaker 1: out kick a field goal on the next play and

1446
01:13:44,960 --> 01:13:47,400
Speaker 1: they're off the field. Nobody, nobody even talks about it,

1447
01:13:47,479 --> 01:13:50,599
Speaker 1: that that's totally forgotten. Eight oh three five fifty one

1448
01:13:50,720 --> 01:13:53,200
Speaker 1: eight eight five fifty two, five fifty. When we come back,

1449
01:13:53,240 --> 01:13:55,720
Speaker 1: we'll hear from coach McDermott, who talked about this very

1450
01:13:55,760 --> 01:13:59,040
Speaker 1: subject and the balance that he and the offensive staff

1451
01:13:59,600 --> 01:14:02,080
Speaker 1: feel they have to strike, because, as we know, coach

1452
01:14:02,160 --> 01:14:05,160
Speaker 1: McDermott has some experience with this, having been around some

1453
01:14:05,200 --> 01:14:07,400
Speaker 1: other mobile quarterbacks in his time in the league. We'll

1454
01:14:07,400 --> 01:14:09,160
Speaker 1: get to that when we return here on One Bills

1455
01:14:09,200 --> 01:14:11,800
Speaker 1: Live presented by Kalida to Health. This is Buffalo Bill's

1456
01:14:11,920 --> 01:14:30,960
Speaker 1: Radio second half of the program underway here on one

1457
01:14:31,000 --> 01:14:33,960
Speaker 1: Bills Live. Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you, broadcasting live

1458
01:14:34,040 --> 01:14:37,280
Speaker 1: from the Senate to studios in Orchard Park. And we

1459
01:14:37,320 --> 01:14:39,160
Speaker 1: do want to get back to the phone's real quick

1460
01:14:39,200 --> 01:14:42,080
Speaker 1: here at eight o three five fifty as we check

1461
01:14:42,120 --> 01:14:45,519
Speaker 1: in with Joe in Hamburg as we are discussing the

1462
01:14:45,720 --> 01:14:49,439
Speaker 1: Josh Allen ball carrying debate. Joe, where do you come

1463
01:14:49,479 --> 01:14:53,439
Speaker 1: down on this one? Yeah? You know, to me, it's

1464
01:14:53,439 --> 01:14:57,920
Speaker 1: all about what the defense gives you, right, UM. And

1465
01:14:58,040 --> 01:15:04,559
Speaker 1: I think what happens with Dable there, UM, he gets

1466
01:15:04,560 --> 01:15:07,800
Speaker 1: what the defense, whatever the defense is going to give him,

1467
01:15:07,800 --> 01:15:10,599
Speaker 1: he's gonna take. If they can't stop Josh, he's gonna

1468
01:15:10,680 --> 01:15:13,599
Speaker 1: keep doing it. And I think there's so much that

1469
01:15:13,640 --> 01:15:15,760
Speaker 1: you could play off of that in terms of being

1470
01:15:15,760 --> 01:15:19,320
Speaker 1: able to fake UM in the future. You know, one

1471
01:15:19,320 --> 01:15:21,560
Speaker 1: of those plays that they've been he's been gouging you

1472
01:15:21,680 --> 01:15:25,160
Speaker 1: with and and and hit it hit big plays um

1473
01:15:25,240 --> 01:15:28,240
Speaker 1: off of that. UM. I just think that it's going

1474
01:15:28,280 --> 01:15:31,920
Speaker 1: to be extremely difficult for defenses to catch up to that.

1475
01:15:32,000 --> 01:15:36,080
Speaker 1: And our offensive coordinators smart enough to know whenda um

1476
01:15:36,240 --> 01:15:38,679
Speaker 1: to change it up if you will, and and and

1477
01:15:38,880 --> 01:15:42,639
Speaker 1: put some of those fakes off of the plays that work. Yeah,

1478
01:15:42,760 --> 01:15:45,800
Speaker 1: and that's all. Yeah, that's all valid, Joe, and thanks

1479
01:15:45,840 --> 01:15:49,519
Speaker 1: for the call. I will say this, Steve, the inherent

1480
01:15:49,560 --> 01:15:53,360
Speaker 1: benefit is you're a man up. You're a man up

1481
01:15:53,400 --> 01:15:56,000
Speaker 1: in the blocking scheme. I mean, he's the extra guy,

1482
01:15:56,479 --> 01:15:59,160
Speaker 1: and so now he makes you know, now you have

1483
01:15:59,200 --> 01:16:01,599
Speaker 1: to commit an extra person to him, whether it's a spy.

1484
01:16:02,160 --> 01:16:05,519
Speaker 1: And I saw that. Coach Flores for the Dolphins was

1485
01:16:05,560 --> 01:16:09,920
Speaker 1: asked yesterday how much did you spy Cam? And he

1486
01:16:10,000 --> 01:16:12,599
Speaker 1: basically said, we only spied him a handful of times.

1487
01:16:13,120 --> 01:16:16,080
Speaker 1: But in light of the success that Cam had, I'd

1488
01:16:16,120 --> 01:16:19,360
Speaker 1: be inclined to think they're gonna spy Josh a whole

1489
01:16:19,360 --> 01:16:22,960
Speaker 1: lot more than they did Cam this past week, don't you. Yeah,

1490
01:16:23,240 --> 01:16:27,599
Speaker 1: don't forget Cam Newton had all this stuff's going on

1491
01:16:27,600 --> 01:16:29,120
Speaker 1: about it. He Cam Newton. They ran the ball, it

1492
01:16:29,160 --> 01:16:33,200
Speaker 1: was great. He ran at fifteen times. Josh ran at fourteen. Yeah.

1493
01:16:33,240 --> 01:16:36,839
Speaker 1: So but I'm saying as far as the Dolphins approach,

1494
01:16:37,560 --> 01:16:41,160
Speaker 1: knowing the success that Cam had against them, especially running

1495
01:16:41,200 --> 01:16:44,960
Speaker 1: for two touchdowns, right, They're gonna have to deploy the

1496
01:16:45,000 --> 01:16:47,000
Speaker 1: spy a little bit more. I would tend to think

1497
01:16:47,640 --> 01:16:50,479
Speaker 1: on Josh this week than they did on Cam last week. Yeah,

1498
01:16:50,479 --> 01:16:52,599
Speaker 1: that's just me. I get it. They're gonna do something well,

1499
01:16:52,600 --> 01:16:54,680
Speaker 1: They're gonna have to play better well that too. And

1500
01:16:55,240 --> 01:16:58,680
Speaker 1: but believe me, they think about where the Dolphins were

1501
01:16:58,720 --> 01:17:01,880
Speaker 1: going into Week one, night and day, where they're at

1502
01:17:01,880 --> 01:17:06,520
Speaker 1: in week two. For this reason, Week one, Bill Belichick

1503
01:17:07,320 --> 01:17:11,919
Speaker 1: with Cam Newton as his quarterback, not not Tom Brady

1504
01:17:12,240 --> 01:17:16,400
Speaker 1: with you know, with four new starters on defense, with

1505
01:17:16,479 --> 01:17:19,760
Speaker 1: all these new parts, you have no idea what the

1506
01:17:19,840 --> 01:17:22,599
Speaker 1: new England Patriots are gonna look like in Week one.

1507
01:17:22,720 --> 01:17:27,160
Speaker 1: That is the ultimate like who are these guys? Moment

1508
01:17:27,240 --> 01:17:29,240
Speaker 1: for the Dolphins. They had to come out and do

1509
01:17:29,479 --> 01:17:31,880
Speaker 1: our MSG viewers are watching the first touchdown, I mean

1510
01:17:31,880 --> 01:17:35,280
Speaker 1: it's a walk in from like eleven yards. The second

1511
01:17:35,280 --> 01:17:37,559
Speaker 1: one was a little closer by the pylon, but the

1512
01:17:37,600 --> 01:17:42,320
Speaker 1: first one, I mean nobody was near him. I mean

1513
01:17:42,400 --> 01:17:46,519
Speaker 1: it's just I don't know. I gotta I gotta believe

1514
01:17:46,880 --> 01:17:50,599
Speaker 1: they're gonna deploy a spy more often, especially when they

1515
01:17:50,640 --> 01:17:52,920
Speaker 1: go back and look at the tape of Josh Allen

1516
01:17:52,960 --> 01:17:55,559
Speaker 1: in past years against that Dolphins defense where he's screwing

1517
01:17:55,560 --> 01:17:58,360
Speaker 1: people into this sat They're gonna spy that's the difference.

1518
01:17:59,000 --> 01:18:01,320
Speaker 1: They know what Joshland has done against them. They know

1519
01:18:01,400 --> 01:18:04,120
Speaker 1: what the Bills coaching staff thought about them last year

1520
01:18:04,160 --> 01:18:06,160
Speaker 1: in the two games they played, because they had plenty

1521
01:18:06,160 --> 01:18:07,479
Speaker 1: of time to look at them in the two games,

1522
01:18:07,560 --> 01:18:09,519
Speaker 1: or at least in particularly in the second game. Obviously,

1523
01:18:10,160 --> 01:18:12,680
Speaker 1: they knew what they were getting from the Bills. And

1524
01:18:12,760 --> 01:18:14,519
Speaker 1: I think they have a much better handle on what

1525
01:18:14,560 --> 01:18:17,080
Speaker 1: Buffalo is gonna hand them in Week two than they

1526
01:18:17,120 --> 01:18:19,240
Speaker 1: would have in New England and Week one. So they're

1527
01:18:19,240 --> 01:18:21,559
Speaker 1: gonna be They're gonna be better prepared for the Buffalo

1528
01:18:21,560 --> 01:18:24,800
Speaker 1: Bills offense in Week two than they ever could have

1529
01:18:24,920 --> 01:18:27,320
Speaker 1: been in Week one for the New England Patriots in

1530
01:18:27,360 --> 01:18:32,120
Speaker 1: this year's edition. So don't expect the Dolphins to be

1531
01:18:32,400 --> 01:18:35,000
Speaker 1: running around circles around their desks, you know, going on,

1532
01:18:35,120 --> 01:18:36,200
Speaker 1: what are we gonna do? What are we gonna do?

1533
01:18:36,280 --> 01:18:39,840
Speaker 1: They got a plan, They've seen, they've seen this movie before.

1534
01:18:40,080 --> 01:18:44,040
Speaker 1: Last week was a premiere of a new movie that

1535
01:18:44,040 --> 01:18:46,400
Speaker 1: they had never seen. So they're gonna be better this

1536
01:18:46,560 --> 01:18:50,599
Speaker 1: week this week against Buffalo defensively than they were last

1537
01:18:50,640 --> 01:18:55,040
Speaker 1: week against the Patriots, just because of the continuity that

1538
01:18:55,080 --> 01:18:57,679
Speaker 1: Buffalo brings to the table. We do want to mention

1539
01:18:57,720 --> 01:19:00,240
Speaker 1: it before we get to the coach McDermott sound that

1540
01:19:00,360 --> 01:19:03,600
Speaker 1: Pepsi is running a promotion with Thurman Thomas in the

1541

Speaker 1: wish that. I wish I could enter that contest. Well,

1560
01:20:03,000 --> 01:20:04,920
Speaker 1: I'd like to do that. And Thurman is not shy

1561
01:20:04,960 --> 01:20:07,280
Speaker 1: about saying stuff that he's watching during the game, like

1562
01:20:08,320 --> 01:20:11,800
Speaker 1: he can get pretty excited. He is un he is unfiltered, yes,

1563
01:20:11,880 --> 01:20:14,560
Speaker 1: to say the least. So there's entertainment. He's part that

1564
01:20:14,720 --> 01:20:17,240
Speaker 1: that five President's tech Sloop that I'm on with those guys.

1565
01:20:17,280 --> 01:20:19,640
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, I was laughing at last year. It

1566
01:20:19,680 --> 01:20:22,840
Speaker 1: was it was the funniest. It was the funniest thing

1567
01:20:22,880 --> 01:20:24,880
Speaker 1: that ever happened. Because Therm was on the tech sloop

1568
01:20:24,920 --> 01:20:27,200
Speaker 1: as well. We're at Mimisty. We're watching all this stuff

1569
01:20:27,200 --> 01:20:30,240
Speaker 1: with Therman is commercial with Pepsi's good. That's a good deal.

1570
01:20:30,880 --> 01:20:33,960
Speaker 1: But last week and that last year, say Thanksgiving, the

1571
01:20:34,040 --> 01:20:37,760
Speaker 1: Bills are playing the Cowboys. They're playing good Josh picks

1572
01:20:37,840 --> 01:20:39,960
Speaker 1: up that first down on the fourth down, you know,

1573
01:20:39,960 --> 01:20:44,080
Speaker 1: the quarterback sneak all of that stuff. And all those

1574
01:20:44,479 --> 01:20:47,360
Speaker 1: guys are texting, like, I mean, the things won't DD.

1575
01:20:47,760 --> 01:20:49,599
Speaker 1: You know how when you get it right, okay, drives

1576
01:20:49,600 --> 01:20:51,720
Speaker 1: you crazy. So these guys are all texted and it's

1577
01:20:51,760 --> 01:20:58,120
Speaker 1: just like they are Yeah, got and then midway through

1578
01:20:58,160 --> 01:21:04,080
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter it is incoherent. They are all wind up.

1579
01:21:05,080 --> 01:21:07,320
Speaker 1: I mean they got, They've been drinking, they've been eating,

1580
01:21:07,720 --> 01:21:10,519
Speaker 1: they're listening. They you can't even understand what they're trying

1581
01:21:10,560 --> 01:21:13,760
Speaker 1: to type. They can't type, they can't type. They are

1582
01:21:13,880 --> 01:21:17,920
Speaker 1: all so fat and happy. Pretty bad, pretty bad when

1583
01:21:17,920 --> 01:21:21,160
Speaker 1: it was lurring your text, right, that's pretty bad. I

1584
01:21:21,240 --> 01:21:23,439
Speaker 1: mean they couldn't even they couldn't even they couldn't even

1585
01:21:23,479 --> 01:21:25,799
Speaker 1: get to the meme page, right, They couldn't even send pictures.

1586
01:21:25,920 --> 01:21:28,559
Speaker 1: I mean even, they couldn't even get there, and all

1587
01:21:28,600 --> 01:21:30,519
Speaker 1: it was all of them. They were like, I should

1588
01:21:30,560 --> 01:21:33,960
Speaker 1: take that. Oh it was so hilarious. Oh my gosh.

1589
01:21:34,040 --> 01:21:38,080
Speaker 1: I was giving them trouble too because it was great.

1590
01:21:38,160 --> 01:21:41,720
Speaker 1: I mean, so, Mike, Mike, kudos a thirm for doing that.

1591
01:21:41,960 --> 01:21:45,519
Speaker 1: Uh and whoever wins that, whoever wins that, I'm telling

1592
01:21:45,520 --> 01:21:48,200
Speaker 1: you so once in a lifetime. So we wanted to

1593
01:21:48,200 --> 01:21:50,800
Speaker 1: get to Coach mcdermot's comments because we've been talking about

1594
01:21:50,800 --> 01:21:56,960
Speaker 1: this Josh Allen debate and carrying the football, and we'll

1595
01:21:57,000 --> 01:21:58,960
Speaker 1: get to those comments in just a second. We want

1596
01:21:58,960 --> 01:22:01,040
Speaker 1: to highlight some of the more important things that Coach

1597
01:22:01,040 --> 01:22:05,040
Speaker 1: addressed in his press conference with the Western New York

1598
01:22:05,040 --> 01:22:08,840
Speaker 1: Media on Monday. We do want to lead off with

1599
01:22:09,680 --> 01:22:13,000
Speaker 1: his take on the right side of the offensive line,

1600
01:22:13,080 --> 01:22:19,120
Speaker 1: which was a secret for lack of a better term,

1601
01:22:19,240 --> 01:22:22,680
Speaker 1: for most of training camp because the media couldn't report it,

1602
01:22:23,320 --> 01:22:26,720
Speaker 1: and it was unveiled on Sunday. The right side of

1603
01:22:26,720 --> 01:22:30,000
Speaker 1: the offensive line, with John Feliciano still on IR was

1604
01:22:30,080 --> 01:22:33,200
Speaker 1: Cody Ford at right guard and Darryl Williams at right tackle,

1605
01:22:33,520 --> 01:22:35,800
Speaker 1: and so Coach was asked for his thoughts on how

1606
01:22:35,800 --> 01:22:40,360
Speaker 1: those two guys performed in their first game together. Yeah,

1607
01:22:40,360 --> 01:22:43,800
Speaker 1: I thought they were solid. I thought Daryl Williams played

1608
01:22:43,800 --> 01:22:47,040
Speaker 1: a really good game and good good addition to our team.

1609
01:22:47,120 --> 01:22:49,799
Speaker 1: We worked extremely hard. I love how he finished, finished

1610
01:22:49,800 --> 01:22:54,160
Speaker 1: plays and finished blocks, played to the echo of the whistle. Cody,

1611
01:22:54,280 --> 01:22:57,439
Speaker 1: it looked like they had good symmetry over there. You know,

1612
01:22:57,520 --> 01:22:59,479
Speaker 1: a lot of good things on that side, and like

1613
01:22:59,479 --> 01:23:02,120
Speaker 1: I said, for some good things up front, some things

1614
01:23:02,120 --> 01:23:04,600
Speaker 1: we certainly have to work on. I was proud of

1615
01:23:04,640 --> 01:23:06,439
Speaker 1: the way though that they came out and we're ready

1616
01:23:06,479 --> 01:23:10,760
Speaker 1: to go, and you know, I think Coach made it

1617
01:23:10,840 --> 01:23:15,280
Speaker 1: very clear that despite the victory, he had a long

1618
01:23:15,360 --> 01:23:18,360
Speaker 1: list of things that he was writing down after the

1619
01:23:18,360 --> 01:23:20,320
Speaker 1: game that he wants his team to work on when

1620
01:23:20,360 --> 01:23:23,240
Speaker 1: they hit the practice field on Wednesday. We know that

1621
01:23:23,280 --> 01:23:25,680
Speaker 1: the way he and his staff operates, it's not just

1622
01:23:25,800 --> 01:23:27,960
Speaker 1: about the game plan for that given week. He is

1623
01:23:28,000 --> 01:23:33,240
Speaker 1: going to build time into his practices for fundamentals. He

1624
01:23:33,280 --> 01:23:35,880
Speaker 1: does it every single week and it will be no

1625
01:23:36,000 --> 01:23:39,360
Speaker 1: different this week. Absolutely, and it's because that's the only

1626
01:23:39,400 --> 01:23:41,320
Speaker 1: way you get better. You got to you gotta go

1627
01:23:41,360 --> 01:23:44,800
Speaker 1: back and clean up what you did fundamentally. Forget about

1628
01:23:44,800 --> 01:23:47,559
Speaker 1: plays and whether you know the guy was outside shade

1629
01:23:47,600 --> 01:23:49,600
Speaker 1: or inside shade, Well, where did you step first? And

1630
01:23:49,640 --> 01:23:52,679
Speaker 1: what is your responsibility? Get there? And do that first?

1631
01:23:53,000 --> 01:23:57,559
Speaker 1: And then all the details come later. But the deep

1632
01:23:57,840 --> 01:24:03,880
Speaker 1: you know, the details never crush you. If your fundamentals

1633
01:24:03,880 --> 01:24:07,320
Speaker 1: are sound, the details come easier for you and go

1634
01:24:07,360 --> 01:24:10,400
Speaker 1: in your favor. When you're fundamentally sound, you're always in

1635
01:24:10,439 --> 01:24:14,720
Speaker 1: a better position to get those details and do the

1636
01:24:14,800 --> 01:24:17,840
Speaker 1: small things that help you win. When you're fundamentally sound,

1637
01:24:17,840 --> 01:24:21,360
Speaker 1: and that's by doing the fundamentals every week without fail,

1638
01:24:21,520 --> 01:24:25,360
Speaker 1: they become ingrained, and then you can you can build

1639
01:24:25,400 --> 01:24:29,880
Speaker 1: on those and then the details that used to give

1640
01:24:29,920 --> 01:24:32,680
Speaker 1: you wins and losses and cost you become part of

1641
01:24:32,680 --> 01:24:35,200
Speaker 1: those fundamentals because that's how much you've built up to

1642
01:24:35,240 --> 01:24:37,840
Speaker 1: that point. And one of those fundamentals is ball security.

1643
01:24:37,960 --> 01:24:41,920
Speaker 1: So here's coach mcdermoty talking about Josh Allen's fumbles in

1644
01:24:41,960 --> 01:24:46,320
Speaker 1: the game on Sunday, as he said after the game,

1645
01:24:46,360 --> 01:24:48,400
Speaker 1: he's got to do a better job. And I don't

1646
01:24:48,439 --> 01:24:50,519
Speaker 1: think there's any other way to skin it. You know,

1647
01:24:50,600 --> 01:24:53,960
Speaker 1: it's it's we can't give the ball away. The balls

1648
01:24:54,000 --> 01:24:58,800
Speaker 1: as a as an unbelievable ability to become the great equalizer.

1649
01:24:58,960 --> 01:25:01,080
Speaker 1: We were dominating that game in a lot of ways

1650
01:25:01,080 --> 01:25:04,200
Speaker 1: as you saw, Adam, and we put the ball on

1651
01:25:04,240 --> 01:25:07,400
Speaker 1: the ground and then all of a sudden and we

1652
01:25:07,479 --> 01:25:11,479
Speaker 1: face in adversity. So we can learn and we need

1653
01:25:11,520 --> 01:25:14,559
Speaker 1: to learn from that, and you know, before it comes

1654
01:25:14,600 --> 01:25:17,679
Speaker 1: back to haunt us here. So that's something that that's

1655
01:25:17,800 --> 01:25:19,840
Speaker 1: one of the many things, Adam, honestly, that we have

1656
01:25:19,880 --> 01:25:22,720
Speaker 1: to work on this week. So there it is, and

1657
01:25:23,040 --> 01:25:27,599
Speaker 1: no surprise, and Josh, to his credit, was very very

1658
01:25:27,640 --> 01:25:29,800
Speaker 1: much on that part of his game when the game

1659
01:25:29,840 --> 01:25:32,000
Speaker 1: was over. He's in his postgame interview on Sunday saying,

1660
01:25:32,040 --> 01:25:33,599
Speaker 1: I can't put the ball on the ground and blah

1661
01:25:33,680 --> 01:25:36,840
Speaker 1: blah blah, I've got to clean that up. So, as

1662
01:25:36,840 --> 01:25:40,360
Speaker 1: we've said many times on the show before, Steve Josh

1663
01:25:40,360 --> 01:25:42,480
Speaker 1: Allen might be one of the most self aware quarterbacks

1664
01:25:42,520 --> 01:25:45,000
Speaker 1: we've ever been around, and it was evident again on

1665
01:25:45,040 --> 01:25:47,240
Speaker 1: Sunday after the game. It's it's one thing, as we

1666
01:25:47,280 --> 01:25:49,280
Speaker 1: saw him fumble twice, but it's one thing to get

1667
01:25:49,320 --> 01:25:52,400
Speaker 1: stripped like he did on the first run run. You know,

1668
01:25:52,400 --> 01:25:54,720
Speaker 1: you're playing against guys that are on scholarship too. I mean,

1669
01:25:54,760 --> 01:25:56,960
Speaker 1: they're good too, so they're gonna get you once a while,

1670
01:25:57,000 --> 01:26:01,040
Speaker 1: punch the ball out, strip at loose uh, because they're

1671
01:26:01,040 --> 01:26:04,200
Speaker 1: playing football too, and that happens. But the second one

1672
01:26:04,240 --> 01:26:06,000
Speaker 1: where you just you know, you got the ball out

1673
01:26:06,000 --> 01:26:08,439
Speaker 1: away from your body and just comes out of your hand,

1674
01:26:09,800 --> 01:26:12,080
Speaker 1: and that that's on you. That can't happen, and that's

1675
01:26:12,120 --> 01:26:14,479
Speaker 1: something that you can work on. That's something that you

1676
01:26:14,520 --> 01:26:19,679
Speaker 1: can fix. And you know it's it's nobody else's fault.

1677
01:26:19,720 --> 01:26:21,360
Speaker 1: There's just no other way to slice it. And he

1678
01:26:21,439 --> 01:26:24,400
Speaker 1: had fourteen fumbles last year. Fortunately for the Bills, he

1679
01:26:24,479 --> 01:26:28,720
Speaker 1: only lost four of them. Right, that's all luck, it's

1680
01:26:28,720 --> 01:26:34,240
Speaker 1: all luck. Yeah, that's all luck. They only fourteen is

1681
01:26:33,640 --> 01:26:39,000
Speaker 1: two huge, that's a huge number, and that is you know,

1682
01:26:39,120 --> 01:26:41,519
Speaker 1: that loses a ton of games for you. If you

1683
01:26:41,560 --> 01:26:44,080
Speaker 1: lose if you lose half of those forget about half

1684
01:26:44,080 --> 01:26:46,840
Speaker 1: of half. If you lose half of those fumbles, you

1685
01:26:46,920 --> 01:26:53,280
Speaker 1: lose three more games, you know, you literally And this

1686
01:26:53,360 --> 01:26:56,320
Speaker 1: is a team, particularly last year they want to They

1687
01:26:56,320 --> 01:26:58,679
Speaker 1: were in tight game, they didn't score for very many points.

1688
01:26:58,680 --> 01:27:01,000
Speaker 1: They weren't winning games going away like they did on

1689
01:27:01,040 --> 01:27:03,559
Speaker 1: Sunday when they didn't play well and still won by

1690
01:27:03,600 --> 01:27:06,840
Speaker 1: double digits. Last year they were in really close games.

1691
01:27:06,840 --> 01:27:10,639
Speaker 1: And now those fumbles and fumbles like these in one hand,

1692
01:27:10,680 --> 01:27:12,240
Speaker 1: you say, wow, it's good that they have in a

1693
01:27:12,240 --> 01:27:13,880
Speaker 1: game where there was no way they were gonna lose,

1694
01:27:13,920 --> 01:27:15,839
Speaker 1: because now you can say you can get that message

1695
01:27:15,840 --> 01:27:19,280
Speaker 1: through again and it's a reminder and now they's got

1696
01:27:19,320 --> 01:27:21,360
Speaker 1: that and maybe it'll be higher on his priority list

1697
01:27:21,400 --> 01:27:26,040
Speaker 1: going forward. But man, oh man, you gotta fix that.

1698
01:27:26,560 --> 01:27:28,720
Speaker 1: You gotta fix that. All right, We have to take

1699
01:27:28,720 --> 01:27:30,719
Speaker 1: a break. But when we return, more of your phone

1700
01:27:30,760 --> 01:27:34,639
Speaker 1: calls more from the Bills coordinators. We'll hear from Brian

1701
01:27:34,720 --> 01:27:37,799
Speaker 1: Dable about the very topic we've been discussing today, Josh

1702
01:27:37,840 --> 01:27:40,040
Speaker 1: Allen in the run game, we'll get his take on that,

1703
01:27:40,400 --> 01:27:43,439
Speaker 1: and we'll also get Leslie Frazier's take on what a

1704
01:27:43,520 --> 01:27:46,479
Speaker 1: problem it is when you're facing a mobile quarterback who

1705
01:27:46,520 --> 01:27:49,320
Speaker 1: has plays designed for him to run with the football.

1706
01:27:49,600 --> 01:27:51,720
Speaker 1: That much more coming up next year on One Bill's Live,

1707
01:27:51,760 --> 01:28:07,720
Speaker 1: presented by Kalida Health. This is Buffalo Bill's Radio. Stefan

1708
01:28:08,000 --> 01:28:12,160
Speaker 1: diggs eight receptions against the Jets was a new personal

1709
01:28:12,280 --> 01:28:15,000
Speaker 1: high in a season opener for him. He did have

1710
01:28:15,120 --> 01:28:18,799
Speaker 1: seven previously once in twenty sixteen and in the twenty

1711
01:28:18,800 --> 01:28:22,639
Speaker 1: seventeen opener. Diggs now has a reception in all seventy

1712
01:28:22,640 --> 01:28:26,840
Speaker 1: one games of his NFL career. And New York Loto

1713
01:28:26,920 --> 01:28:30,360
Speaker 1: Inside the Numbers take a break from the expected play

1714
01:28:30,439 --> 01:28:34,799
Speaker 1: scratch off games from the New York Lottery. Steve Tasker

1715
01:28:34,880 --> 01:28:36,840
Speaker 1: Chris Brown with you as we are closing up the

1716
01:28:36,880 --> 01:28:38,320
Speaker 1: second hour of the show, and we do want to

1717
01:28:38,360 --> 01:28:40,120
Speaker 1: get back to the phones at eight oh three, five

1718
01:28:40,240 --> 01:28:43,320
Speaker 1: fifty as we are asking you how much is too

1719
01:28:43,400 --> 01:28:46,760
Speaker 1: much for Josh Allen carrying the football, and we go

1720
01:28:46,920 --> 01:28:49,880
Speaker 1: all the way out to the West Coast where Harry

1721
01:28:50,160 --> 01:28:52,920
Speaker 1: is hopefully able to breathe. There that does not involve

1722
01:28:53,000 --> 01:28:57,000
Speaker 1: forest fires smoke. Harry, thanks for joining the show. What

1723
01:28:57,040 --> 01:29:00,240
Speaker 1: do you have for us? Well, I just wanted say,

1724
01:29:00,240 --> 01:29:03,040
Speaker 1: you're talking to a nineties year old, senile old man,

1725
01:29:03,200 --> 01:29:05,880
Speaker 1: so be careful. If you're talking to a fifty eight

1726
01:29:05,960 --> 01:29:10,240
Speaker 1: year old senile man, so gentle, go ahead, Harry. Well,

1727
01:29:10,280 --> 01:29:13,559
Speaker 1: I've been a Bills fan since nineteen forty six. I

1728
01:29:13,640 --> 01:29:17,320
Speaker 1: want you to know that. I think, you know, like

1729
01:29:17,439 --> 01:29:20,080
Speaker 1: in titching they allow a guy one hundred and twenty

1730
01:29:20,120 --> 01:29:22,519
Speaker 1: one pitches, you know, or one hundred and twenty pitches.

1731
01:29:23,280 --> 01:29:26,040
Speaker 1: We got a gem here. We can't treat him like

1732
01:29:26,160 --> 01:29:30,400
Speaker 1: just another guy. And I think the body can only

1733
01:29:30,479 --> 01:29:34,559
Speaker 1: take so much pounding. And he's already twenty three, which

1734
01:29:34,640 --> 01:29:39,599
Speaker 1: means he's been in the league two three years now. Well,

1735
01:29:39,640 --> 01:29:42,040
Speaker 1: I'm basically saying, is you've got a gem here, you

1736
01:29:42,160 --> 01:29:44,759
Speaker 1: better be careful he doesn't turn out to be another

1737
01:29:45,560 --> 01:29:49,040
Speaker 1: run of the mill, because I remember Joe Ferguson then

1738
01:29:49,080 --> 01:29:52,160
Speaker 1: that poor guy he fought in the trenches for a

1739
01:29:52,240 --> 01:29:55,519
Speaker 1: long time with nobody in front of him. Yeah, Hey,

1740
01:29:55,600 --> 01:29:58,400
Speaker 1: that's that's the most useless feeling in the world. It's

1741
01:29:58,400 --> 01:30:00,400
Speaker 1: gotta be. So are you saying you want to put

1742
01:30:00,479 --> 01:30:05,920
Speaker 1: Josh on a pitch count with the runs. Yeah, I know,

1743
01:30:06,080 --> 01:30:09,200
Speaker 1: in a sense, I want to do the same thing

1744
01:30:09,280 --> 01:30:12,360
Speaker 1: to his body as they do with a pitch count.

1745
01:30:12,520 --> 01:30:15,640
Speaker 1: You know, he can only take so much punishment and

1746
01:30:15,720 --> 01:30:20,360
Speaker 1: only under uh you know how many blitzing linebackers can

1747
01:30:20,400 --> 01:30:23,519
Speaker 1: he avoid. These are big guys hitting him. He's a

1748
01:30:23,520 --> 01:30:27,439
Speaker 1: big guy. But you know you're vulnerable. You're running with

1749
01:30:27,520 --> 01:30:30,120
Speaker 1: a ball in your hand, trying to protect the ball.

1750
01:30:31,040 --> 01:30:34,680
Speaker 1: You have no way of fighting back, and that can

1751
01:30:34,720 --> 01:30:37,080
Speaker 1: only go on so long. See, you want to pick

1752
01:30:37,200 --> 01:30:42,320
Speaker 1: your movements really carefully about how you use this guy. Yeah, Harry,

1753
01:30:42,320 --> 01:30:44,040
Speaker 1: that's a good it's a good call, and you're right,

1754
01:30:44,120 --> 01:30:47,400
Speaker 1: and I think it that stay safe out there, Yeah,

1755
01:30:47,400 --> 01:30:49,720
Speaker 1: stay safe out there, and yeah, just turn your long

1756
01:30:49,760 --> 01:30:52,840
Speaker 1: sprint law on. Um, Well, you're so right. But you

1757
01:30:52,880 --> 01:30:54,960
Speaker 1: know what, I'm going to have senior home. They wouldn't

1758
01:30:54,960 --> 01:31:00,400
Speaker 1: have They couldn't afford to let me out anywhere. Yeah. Yeah,

1759
01:31:00,400 --> 01:31:03,640
Speaker 1: they must found out you're a Bills fan. So I

1760
01:31:03,760 --> 01:31:05,920
Speaker 1: get it. He's right, and it's a it's a great

1761
01:31:06,800 --> 01:31:08,680
Speaker 1: he's kind of saying what I was saying, Steve, Like

1762
01:31:08,760 --> 01:31:10,720
Speaker 1: you know that when the play breaks down, on a

1763
01:31:10,720 --> 01:31:13,040
Speaker 1: pass play, John's gonna run probably have a dozen times

1764
01:31:13,040 --> 01:31:14,600
Speaker 1: a game, it counts as a run. I think you

1765
01:31:14,720 --> 01:31:16,800
Speaker 1: factor that into how much you're gonna use him in

1766
01:31:16,840 --> 01:31:19,240
Speaker 1: design runs. Here's the thing, though, when you do that

1767
01:31:19,320 --> 01:31:22,519
Speaker 1: as a quarterback, when he quarterback runs and stuff, that

1768
01:31:22,600 --> 01:31:26,719
Speaker 1: almost counts as a non play because there's no reason,

1769
01:31:27,960 --> 01:31:31,360
Speaker 1: no excuse. I would say, there's no excuse for him

1770
01:31:31,360 --> 01:31:34,960
Speaker 1: taking a hit of any kind on that play. He

1771
01:31:35,000 --> 01:31:37,519
Speaker 1: should not take any hit on a play where he

1772
01:31:37,520 --> 01:31:40,000
Speaker 1: scrambles out of the pocket, has room goes down, because

1773
01:31:40,040 --> 01:31:43,200
Speaker 1: he should slide every single time. That's got to be

1774
01:31:43,240 --> 01:31:44,960
Speaker 1: part of it, and he should, and that should be

1775
01:31:45,000 --> 01:31:48,080
Speaker 1: part of the message you teach him about the run

1776
01:31:48,160 --> 01:31:50,080
Speaker 1: game he's going to be involved in. So for instance,

1777
01:31:50,120 --> 01:31:52,559
Speaker 1: like last week before he fumbled that second ball when

1778
01:31:52,600 --> 01:31:55,639
Speaker 1: he just flew out of his hands, said just say, Josh,

1779
01:31:55,640 --> 01:31:57,800
Speaker 1: we were gonna call a quarterback run right here, but

1780
01:31:57,880 --> 01:32:01,000
Speaker 1: because you're coughing it up, we're gonna give the ball

1781
01:32:01,040 --> 01:32:03,599
Speaker 1: to somebody else. Right. I don't know if you're gonna

1782
01:32:03,640 --> 01:32:05,559
Speaker 1: do that but here, But here's the thing. Or and

1783
01:32:05,640 --> 01:32:07,800
Speaker 1: don't think he doesn't do this either. If day Ball

1784
01:32:07,840 --> 01:32:11,320
Speaker 1: doesn't say hey, we're gonna run sprint right quarterback keeper

1785
01:32:11,640 --> 01:32:16,120
Speaker 1: off you know behind, you know, Dion Dawkins. Whatever, We're

1786
01:32:16,120 --> 01:32:18,479
Speaker 1: gonna run this sweep with you off the left side.

1787
01:32:19,200 --> 01:32:23,040
Speaker 1: Don't fumble the ball or just give him a heads up,

1788
01:32:23,080 --> 01:32:24,639
Speaker 1: say hey, don't remember, you got to protect the ball

1789
01:32:24,680 --> 01:32:26,240
Speaker 1: in this. We end up that kind of thing, you

1790
01:32:26,280 --> 01:32:29,479
Speaker 1: know that's going on. That's what coaches do. They're forever

1791
01:32:29,520 --> 01:32:31,639
Speaker 1: in year saying hey, don't don't forget, don't forget, don't forget,

1792
01:32:31,680 --> 01:32:34,960
Speaker 1: don't forget. That's part of the equation too. But for

1793
01:32:35,240 --> 01:32:40,519
Speaker 1: you know, for Harry, you know, our California caller. He's right,

1794
01:32:42,400 --> 01:32:45,760
Speaker 1: Josh is not gonna be your bell cow running back. Yeah,

1795
01:32:45,840 --> 01:32:49,320
Speaker 1: here's the difference though. Okay, Josh fights for extra yardage.

1796
01:32:49,439 --> 01:32:51,400
Speaker 1: I think he has been more disciplined in getting out

1797
01:32:51,439 --> 01:32:54,000
Speaker 1: of bounds when he can to avoid him. He's better.

1798
01:32:54,640 --> 01:32:58,000
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray, as you've mentioned, is a much smaller statured quarterback.

1799
01:32:58,400 --> 01:33:01,040
Speaker 1: He ran thirteen times for ninety one yards last week,

1800
01:33:01,160 --> 01:33:04,519
Speaker 1: never got hit, he slid, went out of bounds, or

1801
01:33:04,640 --> 01:33:07,599
Speaker 1: scored on twelve of his thirteen runs. So you have

1802
01:33:07,680 --> 01:33:10,640
Speaker 1: to recognize who you are as a player too. Like

1803
01:33:11,439 --> 01:33:13,960
Speaker 1: I think Josh feels a. I'm six five, two forty five.

1804
01:33:14,720 --> 01:33:16,519
Speaker 1: If I take a hit, I'll be all right. But

1805
01:33:17,360 --> 01:33:19,400
Speaker 1: it's a dangerous game sometimes, all right, we have to

1806
01:33:19,400 --> 01:33:22,840
Speaker 1: take a break, but when we return, we'll be back

1807
01:33:22,880 --> 01:33:26,360
Speaker 1: with a Hall of Famer one James Lofton, who called

1808

1812
01:33:51,479 --> 01:33:54,040
Speaker 1: sports Update from One Bill's Drive. Hills coach Sean McDermot

1813
01:33:54,080 --> 01:33:56,679
Speaker 1: gave an update on the status of starting linebackers Tremaine

1814
01:33:56,720 --> 01:33:59,600
Speaker 1: Edmonds and Matt Milano, both of whom suffered injuries on

1815
01:33:59,640 --> 01:34:02,920
Speaker 1: Sunday that forced them from the game, prematurely, saying it

1816
01:34:02,960 --> 01:34:05,599
Speaker 1: didn't appear that either of them have long term injuries

1817
01:34:05,600 --> 01:34:08,560
Speaker 1: and both of them fall into the day to day category.

1818
01:34:08,600 --> 01:34:11,679
Speaker 1: It had been suffered a shoulder injury, Melano tweaked his hamstring.

1819
01:34:12,160 --> 01:34:14,679
Speaker 1: Both left the game and did not return. The team

1820
01:34:14,720 --> 01:34:16,600
Speaker 1: is back on the practice field on Wednesday, when we

1821
01:34:16,640 --> 01:34:19,240
Speaker 1: should know a little bit more about the status for

1822
01:34:19,280 --> 01:34:22,679
Speaker 1: each of those linebackers for Sunday's game in Miami. Week

1823
01:34:22,720 --> 01:34:25,000
Speaker 1: one wrapped up last night with two Monday Night games.

1824
01:34:25,000 --> 01:34:28,880
Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger's return was highlighted by three touchdown passes in

1825
01:34:28,960 --> 01:34:32,120
Speaker 1: the steelers twenty six sixteen win over the Giants. Pittsburgh

1826
01:34:32,120 --> 01:34:34,599
Speaker 1: also limited Giants running back sae Quon Barkley to just

1827
01:34:34,680 --> 01:34:38,479
Speaker 1: six yards rushing on fifteen carries. The other game, it

1828
01:34:38,520 --> 01:34:42,120
Speaker 1: was the miscuse of Stephen Gaskowski that told the tale

1829
01:34:42,160 --> 01:34:43,960
Speaker 1: for most of the night, as the Titans kicker miss

1830
01:34:43,960 --> 01:34:46,720
Speaker 1: three field goals and an extra point, but then hit

1831
01:34:46,760 --> 01:34:49,360
Speaker 1: the game winner from twenty five yards away to lift

1832
01:34:49,400 --> 01:34:52,840
Speaker 1: Tennessee to a sixteen fourteen win over the Broncos on

1833
01:34:52,880 --> 01:34:55,280
Speaker 1: the ice. One game tonight in the Stanley Cup Playoffs,

1834
01:34:55,479 --> 01:34:58,519
Speaker 1: the Tampa Bay Lightning looked to knock the Islanders from

1835
01:34:58,520 --> 01:35:01,080
Speaker 1: the postseason and reach the Stanley Cup Finals. They lead

1836
01:35:01,120 --> 01:35:04,240
Speaker 1: that series three games to one. Face off tonight is

1837
01:35:04,360 --> 01:35:08,440
Speaker 1: at eight pm. One more note from hockey, Peter Laviolette

1838
01:35:08,439 --> 01:35:10,560
Speaker 1: has been named the new coach of the Washington Capitals,

1839
01:35:10,560 --> 01:35:13,960
Speaker 1: the team making that announcement earlier today. LaViolette's deal is

1840
01:35:14,000 --> 01:35:15,960
Speaker 1: believed to be for three years. He won a Stanley

1841
01:35:15,960 --> 01:35:18,840
Speaker 1: Cup with the Hurricanes back in two thousand and six,

1842
01:35:19,160 --> 01:35:22,400
Speaker 1: and finally from baseball, Major League Baseball and their Players

1843
01:35:22,439 --> 01:35:25,600
Speaker 1: Association reportedly reached an agreement to host most of the

1844
01:35:25,640 --> 01:35:30,400
Speaker 1: twenty twenty playoffs, including the Division Series, the League Championship Series,

1845
01:35:30,400 --> 01:35:34,519
Speaker 1: in the World Series in neutral site bubbles. Reports are

1846
01:35:34,560 --> 01:35:37,040
Speaker 1: that the National League is expected to play in Texas

1847
01:35:37,240 --> 01:35:40,760
Speaker 1: while the American League plays out in California. And that

1848
01:35:40,880 --> 01:35:43,360
Speaker 1: is your sports update from One Bill's Drive. Chris Brown,

1849
01:35:43,400 --> 01:35:46,400
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker here with you as we begin our number

1850
01:35:46,439 --> 01:35:49,080
Speaker 1: three of the program, and joining us on the line

1851
01:35:49,120 --> 01:35:52,439
Speaker 1: right now is a former Buffalo Bills receiver, a current

1852
01:35:52,520 --> 01:35:55,800
Speaker 1: CBS broadcaster, and a Pro Football Hall of Famer. It's

1853
01:35:55,840 --> 01:35:58,320
Speaker 1: the one the only James Lofton who covered the Bills

1854
01:35:58,360 --> 01:36:01,839
Speaker 1: Jets game in Week one on the television side. James,

1855
01:36:01,920 --> 01:36:04,080
Speaker 1: great to have you with us. How are you doing

1856
01:36:04,160 --> 01:36:08,840
Speaker 1: back there in Santiago. I'm doing very well. I found

1857
01:36:08,880 --> 01:36:11,840
Speaker 1: it interesting in the rundown that you had you have

1858
01:36:11,920 --> 01:36:16,960
Speaker 1: the face off in hockey first pitch in baseball, I

1859
01:36:16,960 --> 01:36:20,680
Speaker 1: would think, yep, you would have kickoffs in football. Do

1860
01:36:20,720 --> 01:36:23,320
Speaker 1: you do you still toss the ball for a jump

1861
01:36:23,320 --> 01:36:25,439
Speaker 1: ball in basketball or do they just take the ball

1862
01:36:25,439 --> 01:36:27,840
Speaker 1: out of it? They say tip off, the tipoff, tipoff? Yeah,

1863
01:36:29,680 --> 01:36:32,040
Speaker 1: But don't they just take it out of bound sometimes? Oh?

1864
01:36:32,160 --> 01:36:34,080
Speaker 1: Yes they do. They don't have a jump ball after

1865
01:36:34,160 --> 01:36:36,240
Speaker 1: every stoppage and play like they did way back in

1866
01:36:36,320 --> 01:36:40,000
Speaker 1: the day, back when you started playing. Oh wow, Steve, now,

1867
01:36:40,160 --> 01:36:43,640
Speaker 1: come on, James, off the making time for us here

1868
01:36:43,680 --> 01:36:46,080
Speaker 1: and right out of the gate it was too easy.

1869
01:36:47,680 --> 01:36:51,880
Speaker 1: Jis will take one point off for hitting below the bell? Wow?

1870
01:36:52,200 --> 01:36:53,960
Speaker 1: What did you think of Week one in the NFL,

1871
01:36:54,080 --> 01:36:56,120
Speaker 1: most notably here in Buffalo? What do you think, James,

1872
01:36:56,240 --> 01:37:00,000
Speaker 1: no fans, different atmosphere, even a different, completely different setup

1873
01:37:00,080 --> 01:37:02,280
Speaker 1: for you and Andrew in the booth, What are your

1874
01:37:02,320 --> 01:37:04,360
Speaker 1: thoughts about Week one, not only on your end of it,

1875
01:37:04,439 --> 01:37:07,280
Speaker 1: but on the football end of it as well. So

1876
01:37:07,479 --> 01:37:11,200
Speaker 1: many things were different. You know, we had had a

1877
01:37:11,280 --> 01:37:14,080
Speaker 1: suspension of sports for a while, so we had to

1878
01:37:14,160 --> 01:37:16,800
Speaker 1: deal with that. And I remember how that felt as

1879
01:37:16,840 --> 01:37:19,880
Speaker 1: you're flipping the channels. There is nothing on, and the

1880
01:37:20,000 --> 01:37:22,320
Speaker 1: first thing that was on, I think was baseball from

1881
01:37:22,360 --> 01:37:25,240
Speaker 1: Japan and you were watching that and you're watching how

1882
01:37:25,320 --> 01:37:28,000
Speaker 1: they did it. And I talked to a couple of

1883
01:37:28,080 --> 01:37:32,680
Speaker 1: my friends who actually are Major League Baseball announcers, and

1884
01:37:33,000 --> 01:37:35,519
Speaker 1: what they're doing is they would announce the home game

1885
01:37:36,520 --> 01:37:39,080
Speaker 1: being in the stadium, and then when the team plays

1886
01:37:39,160 --> 01:37:41,760
Speaker 1: on the road, they go back to the stadium to

1887
01:37:41,880 --> 01:37:44,519
Speaker 1: that same setup with all the monitors and just call

1888
01:37:44,600 --> 01:37:46,880
Speaker 1: the game from there and not travel with the team.

1889
01:37:46,960 --> 01:37:52,000
Speaker 1: So I had also saw were in college football when

1890
01:37:52,040 --> 01:37:55,280
Speaker 1: my good friends Andrea Ware sitting in his living room

1891
01:37:55,880 --> 01:37:57,960
Speaker 1: doing the broadcast of the game and they had set

1892
01:37:58,040 --> 01:38:00,519
Speaker 1: up monitors for him. So I didn't want that to

1893
01:38:00,640 --> 01:38:03,320
Speaker 1: be the case with the NFL. I think it's important

1894
01:38:03,360 --> 01:38:04,920
Speaker 1: to be in the stadium to get a feel for

1895
01:38:05,040 --> 01:38:08,160
Speaker 1: what's going on. Even last night, on the Monday night

1896
01:38:08,240 --> 01:38:11,560
Speaker 1: game where they had five hundred select fans, families and

1897
01:38:11,720 --> 01:38:16,000
Speaker 1: friends in the stadium, that still felt a little better.

1898
01:38:16,200 --> 01:38:18,680
Speaker 1: And you know, I hope that we get to a

1899
01:38:21,840 --> 01:38:25,240
Speaker 1: lost him James Froze us. That's great for the fans

1900
01:38:25,280 --> 01:38:27,320
Speaker 1: and great for the players too. Yeah, Mike, I have

1901
01:38:27,439 --> 01:38:32,200
Speaker 1: a broadcasting question because obviously the home teams are allowed

1902
01:38:32,280 --> 01:38:37,720
Speaker 1: to play artificial crowd noise and music in the stadium

1903
01:38:38,439 --> 01:38:42,280
Speaker 1: at a certain level when the place is rocking, I

1904
01:38:42,360 --> 01:38:44,920
Speaker 1: mean that is audible through your headset and it's in

1905
01:38:45,000 --> 01:38:47,519
Speaker 1: your ears even when you have a headset on, because

1906
01:38:47,520 --> 01:38:50,920
Speaker 1: it's coming through your microphone. I'm guessing that decibel level

1907
01:38:51,400 --> 01:38:54,840
Speaker 1: on Sunday really didn't play a factor in terms of

1908
01:38:54,920 --> 01:38:56,519
Speaker 1: what you were hearing in your headset or did you

1909
01:38:56,640 --> 01:38:59,639
Speaker 1: hear it. No, we didn't hear it in our headset

1910
01:38:59,720 --> 01:39:02,160
Speaker 1: at all, so we didn't have to talk above it.

1911
01:39:02,280 --> 01:39:04,639
Speaker 1: We didn't have to really think about it. I noticed

1912
01:39:04,680 --> 01:39:07,080
Speaker 1: it more so when I watched other games and I

1913
01:39:07,160 --> 01:39:09,640
Speaker 1: knew what was going on. So you kind of had

1914
01:39:09,680 --> 01:39:12,559
Speaker 1: the inside track on that one. Yeah, but what about

1915
01:39:13,680 --> 01:39:15,400
Speaker 1: going forward? I know that you just as you said

1916
01:39:15,439 --> 01:39:18,920
Speaker 1: about the radio announcers for baseball doing all the home

1917
01:39:19,000 --> 01:39:21,439
Speaker 1: and away games from the home booth, whether they're there

1918
01:39:21,560 --> 01:39:23,880
Speaker 1: or not, that's exactly what Murph and I are going

1919
01:39:23,960 --> 01:39:26,040
Speaker 1: to do for the Bills games. Murph and I will

1920
01:39:26,080 --> 01:39:29,240
Speaker 1: call the radio, make the radio call from the home

1921
01:39:29,320 --> 01:39:32,200
Speaker 1: stadium here, even this week when the team is in Miami.

1922
01:39:32,320 --> 01:39:34,599
Speaker 1: Murph and I will be calling it off a monitor. Yeah,

1923
01:39:34,600 --> 01:39:37,080
Speaker 1: and they're going to replace the normal monitors with these

1924
01:39:37,120 --> 01:39:39,960
Speaker 1: big seventy inch monitors, and we'll have multiple of those

1925
01:39:40,479 --> 01:39:43,000
Speaker 1: so we'll have better views. But that's kind of the

1926
01:39:43,120 --> 01:39:47,280
Speaker 1: concession you make for the current times we live in.

1927
01:39:48,120 --> 01:39:51,720
Speaker 1: What O What are the differences you think stood out?

1928
01:39:51,840 --> 01:39:55,479
Speaker 1: Is there anything that you thought was competitively wrong with

1929
01:39:55,640 --> 01:40:00,640
Speaker 1: the weekend? Not really the thing that I enjoyed as

1930
01:40:00,680 --> 01:40:05,880
Speaker 1: I enjoyed hearing quarterbacks call their audibles. I heard a

1931
01:40:05,960 --> 01:40:10,559
Speaker 1: couple of Atlantis, so obviously there's a play that Atlanta

1932
01:40:10,600 --> 01:40:12,880
Speaker 1: Falcons like to run, and we've copied that we do.

1933
01:40:13,320 --> 01:40:15,840
Speaker 1: I heard of Lombardi, and as soon as I heard

1934
01:40:15,840 --> 01:40:18,439
Speaker 1: that Lombardi, I knew that was a power suite. And

1935
01:40:18,640 --> 01:40:21,040
Speaker 1: I think it might have been even the Bills or

1936
01:40:21,080 --> 01:40:23,000
Speaker 1: the Jets, and one of the two teams ranted in

1937
01:40:23,080 --> 01:40:26,599
Speaker 1: our game on Sunday. So you have those type of calls,

1938
01:40:27,160 --> 01:40:29,439
Speaker 1: and defenses are waiting for you to call it the

1939
01:40:29,479 --> 01:40:32,360
Speaker 1: second time, right, and when they don't hear that second time,

1940
01:40:32,560 --> 01:40:34,439
Speaker 1: or it could be a dummy called the second time

1941
01:40:34,760 --> 01:40:36,840
Speaker 1: and you could do a little gotcha on them. So

1942
01:40:37,880 --> 01:40:41,519
Speaker 1: I think that gamesmanship will come into play as teams

1943
01:40:41,640 --> 01:40:46,320
Speaker 1: played before lesson crowds that don't have as much crowd noise,

1944
01:40:46,400 --> 01:40:48,920
Speaker 1: where you really can hear not only the quarterback but

1945
01:40:49,000 --> 01:40:52,040
Speaker 1: also the offensive linemen make their calls. James as much

1946
01:40:52,080 --> 01:40:55,840
Speaker 1: attention as the offense got in this performance against the Jets,

1947
01:40:55,920 --> 01:40:58,280
Speaker 1: and deservedly, so I want to start with you and

1948
01:40:58,400 --> 01:41:01,840
Speaker 1: the defense, because they really picked up right where they

1949
01:41:01,960 --> 01:41:04,360
Speaker 1: left off last season. I mean, they've been a top

1950
01:41:04,439 --> 01:41:08,120
Speaker 1: five defense each in the last two years. Sunday showed

1951
01:41:08,200 --> 01:41:11,920
Speaker 1: no indication that that's changing anytime soon, despite the fact

1952
01:41:11,960 --> 01:41:14,720
Speaker 1: that they had some wholesale changes up front in the

1953
01:41:14,840 --> 01:41:17,800
Speaker 1: off season. So four to three and outs on the

1954
01:41:17,880 --> 01:41:20,840
Speaker 1: first five possessions for the Jets. I mean, what was

1955
01:41:20,960 --> 01:41:24,559
Speaker 1: your impression of Buffalo's defense. Do you think they might

1956
01:41:24,640 --> 01:41:29,240
Speaker 1: be even better this year? Well, you were a little frozen.

1957
01:41:29,520 --> 01:41:31,600
Speaker 1: But the question is is the defense is going to

1958
01:41:31,640 --> 01:41:37,280
Speaker 1: be better? Yeah? Maybe, and maybe depends upon how well

1959
01:41:37,360 --> 01:41:40,960
Speaker 1: the offense plays, because if the offense can supply the

1960
01:41:41,160 --> 01:41:44,400
Speaker 1: points that it potentially can't Because we looked at the

1961
01:41:44,479 --> 01:41:48,679
Speaker 1: offense this past weekend. You know there were two misfield goals,

1962
01:41:49,080 --> 01:41:54,240
Speaker 1: two bumbles where you're moving toward the goal line. So

1963
01:41:54,520 --> 01:41:58,240
Speaker 1: that's at minimum twelve points and maybe even more if

1964
01:41:58,240 --> 01:42:00,759
Speaker 1: you're factor in it possibly to score couple of techdowns.

1965
01:42:00,800 --> 01:42:05,519
Speaker 1: So this defense I think is structured pretty well to

1966
01:42:05,800 --> 01:42:09,760
Speaker 1: cover against the team that is coming from fourteen down

1967
01:42:10,439 --> 01:42:13,400
Speaker 1: when you add in Josh Norman when he comes back,

1968
01:42:13,560 --> 01:42:16,840
Speaker 1: because he's gonna give you a cornerback with swagger. I

1969
01:42:16,880 --> 01:42:19,599
Speaker 1: talked to Tredavis White before the game, and he said,

1970
01:42:19,720 --> 01:42:22,320
Speaker 1: the one thing about Josh Norman is he is the

1971
01:42:22,520 --> 01:42:25,400
Speaker 1: ultimate trash talking and you kind of need that to

1972
01:42:25,640 --> 01:42:28,200
Speaker 1: get in the head of the other team's receivers and

1973
01:42:28,280 --> 01:42:30,960
Speaker 1: the quarterback and everybody else. So I think he brings

1974
01:42:31,000 --> 01:42:34,040
Speaker 1: that to him. You added Mario Addison and some of

1975
01:42:34,120 --> 01:42:39,640
Speaker 1: the backups that the Buffalo Bills added. They're depth, but

1976
01:42:39,800 --> 01:42:41,960
Speaker 1: they're also guys who are used to being starters. So

1977
01:42:42,600 --> 01:42:44,760
Speaker 1: when you have defensive lineman who only have to play

1978
01:42:44,840 --> 01:42:47,479
Speaker 1: thirty five plays a game as opposed to sixty plays,

1979
01:42:47,800 --> 01:42:51,000
Speaker 1: they can play fresh and they can play fast. What

1980
01:42:51,120 --> 01:42:53,439
Speaker 1: do you think some of the things And as you

1981
01:42:53,520 --> 01:42:57,000
Speaker 1: look at it, we didn't know what either of these

1982
01:42:57,080 --> 01:42:59,280
Speaker 1: teams were gonna look like when they showed up. I mean,

1983
01:42:59,439 --> 01:43:03,920
Speaker 1: nobody's any preseason games. I thought Miami Dolphins in their

1984
01:43:04,040 --> 01:43:05,680
Speaker 1: loss to the New England Patriots. We just said it

1985
01:43:05,800 --> 01:43:08,720
Speaker 1: earlier in the show, how do you how do you

1986
01:43:08,800 --> 01:43:10,680
Speaker 1: know what the Patriots are gonna look like when they

1987
01:43:10,760 --> 01:43:13,080
Speaker 1: line up on Week one. So I think the Dolphins

1988
01:43:13,120 --> 01:43:16,719
Speaker 1: will play better defensively against the Bills this week because

1989
01:43:16,760 --> 01:43:19,240
Speaker 1: of their familiarity with this system here and they've seen

1990
01:43:19,320 --> 01:43:21,519
Speaker 1: them twice with this coaching staff and that kind of thing.

1991
01:43:21,600 --> 01:43:25,280
Speaker 1: But with the Patriots last week, the Dolphins are are

1992
01:43:26,280 --> 01:43:28,120
Speaker 1: We're in a quandary of so what to think the

1993
01:43:28,280 --> 01:43:30,639
Speaker 1: Patriots would look like? Now the Bills go down to Miami,

1994
01:43:31,200 --> 01:43:33,160
Speaker 1: how do you think that game might look and what

1995
01:43:33,439 --> 01:43:35,599
Speaker 1: are your thoughts about the Bills and the AFC East

1996
01:43:35,760 --> 01:43:39,720
Speaker 1: moving forward? Well, it was interesting because you and I

1997
01:43:39,960 --> 01:43:43,360
Speaker 1: visited for a little bit at halftime, and I remember

1998
01:43:43,439 --> 01:43:45,840
Speaker 1: remarking to you that I was waiting to see some

1999
01:43:45,960 --> 01:43:49,320
Speaker 1: clean runs by the running backs. And I went back

2000
01:43:49,360 --> 01:43:53,320
Speaker 1: and I looked at my statue. The New York Jets

2001
01:43:53,400 --> 01:43:57,120
Speaker 1: were second in the NFL defending the run, and you know,

2002
01:43:57,200 --> 01:43:59,400
Speaker 1: you kind of had forgotten about that, because, like you said,

2003
01:43:59,439 --> 01:44:02,639
Speaker 1: there was no season and you forget about those stats.

2004
01:44:02,760 --> 01:44:06,439
Speaker 1: Only allowed three point three yards per carry in twenty nineteen,

2005
01:44:06,680 --> 01:44:09,600
Speaker 1: and they picked they picked up where they were a

2006
01:44:09,720 --> 01:44:12,679
Speaker 1: year ago. So it was really smart and Brian Dave

2007
01:44:12,720 --> 01:44:16,160
Speaker 1: all to run those kind of zone read options with

2008
01:44:16,400 --> 01:44:19,960
Speaker 1: Josh Allen in the very first game, because now it

2009
01:44:20,120 --> 01:44:22,320
Speaker 1: makes the other team start to look for those plays.

2010
01:44:22,680 --> 01:44:25,120
Speaker 1: You can hit the playacction passes behind him, and you

2011
01:44:25,200 --> 01:44:28,479
Speaker 1: can probably get your single running back game going this

2012
01:44:28,720 --> 01:44:31,800
Speaker 1: next week against the Miami Dolphins, because they're not as

2013
01:44:31,840 --> 01:44:35,280
Speaker 1: stout against the run as the New York Jets were,

2014
01:44:35,960 --> 01:44:39,560
Speaker 1: so James. There was a ton of anticipation as to

2015
01:44:39,680 --> 01:44:42,920
Speaker 1: what third year Josh Allen would look like. I think

2016
01:44:43,000 --> 01:44:46,040
Speaker 1: Steve and I have had this conversation several times that

2017
01:44:46,640 --> 01:44:50,679
Speaker 1: we never envisioned Josh in terms of his skill set

2018
01:44:51,320 --> 01:44:54,479
Speaker 1: ever being a Drew Brees or an Aaron Rodgers type

2019
01:44:54,520 --> 01:44:57,439
Speaker 1: where he's completing sixty eight to seventy percent of his passes.

2020
01:44:57,479 --> 01:44:59,840
Speaker 1: We've thought, if this guy in ear three can get

2021
01:45:00,000 --> 01:45:03,200
Speaker 1: somewhere between sixty two and sixty four percent, that would

2022
01:45:03,200 --> 01:45:06,200
Speaker 1: be fantastic, just knowing he brings you other things like

2023
01:45:06,360 --> 01:45:10,080
Speaker 1: big playability and running ability. But Sunday there he is

2024
01:45:10,400 --> 01:45:13,599
Speaker 1: throwing a short intermediate passing game. I mean, the longest

2025
01:45:13,640 --> 01:45:16,240
Speaker 1: play from scrimmage was twenty nine yards on Sunday and

2026
01:45:16,360 --> 01:45:19,200
Speaker 1: he's completely almost seventy two percent of his passes. Is

2027
01:45:19,280 --> 01:45:21,320
Speaker 1: this a one week thing? Based on what he was

2028
01:45:21,400 --> 01:45:24,800
Speaker 1: facing from a week jet secondary or is this something

2029
01:45:24,880 --> 01:45:30,040
Speaker 1: that we can anticipate going forward happening again. When I

2030
01:45:30,200 --> 01:45:33,120
Speaker 1: watched the game as it's just starting to unfold, the

2031
01:45:33,280 --> 01:45:37,200
Speaker 1: thing that I really thought about is that he's really

2032
01:45:37,280 --> 01:45:40,800
Speaker 1: accurate today. He took a little bit off his fastball,

2033
01:45:41,760 --> 01:45:43,840
Speaker 1: because I think that's where he gets into trouble when

2034
01:45:43,840 --> 01:45:46,559
Speaker 1: he throws the ball a little too hard. The one

2035
01:45:46,640 --> 01:45:48,880
Speaker 1: that he missed, remember he's rolling to his left and

2036
01:45:48,960 --> 01:45:51,720
Speaker 1: I may remark that he just didn't get his hips

2037
01:45:51,800 --> 01:45:53,479
Speaker 1: turned and he tried to throw the ball and then

2038
01:45:53,560 --> 01:45:57,040
Speaker 1: just sailed on him. So he really only missed one

2039
01:45:57,160 --> 01:46:02,360
Speaker 1: or two throws at the most. And his receivers Cole Beasley,

2040
01:46:03,280 --> 01:46:08,439
Speaker 1: John Brown and Stefan Diggs are really all short handed guys.

2041
01:46:09,000 --> 01:46:11,320
Speaker 1: They're not guys who are gonna end up the season

2042
01:46:11,400 --> 01:46:13,680
Speaker 1: with six or seven drops. If they have six or

2043
01:46:13,720 --> 01:46:17,040
Speaker 1: seven drops between the three of them, that would surprise me,

2044
01:46:17,280 --> 01:46:20,320
Speaker 1: because I think he's really getting comfortable with them. And

2045
01:46:20,479 --> 01:46:23,960
Speaker 1: the Diggs got popped a bunch of times where he

2046
01:46:23,960 --> 01:46:26,240
Speaker 1: could have given up the ball, but he held on

2047
01:46:26,280 --> 01:46:28,960
Speaker 1: to each and every one of them. How worried does

2048
01:46:29,000 --> 01:46:31,080
Speaker 1: it make you that Josh Allen fumbled the ball on

2049
01:46:31,200 --> 01:46:33,200
Speaker 1: two carries, one where he got stripped in the other

2050
01:46:33,280 --> 01:46:36,639
Speaker 1: it just came out of his hands. Yeah, he came

2051
01:46:36,720 --> 01:46:41,240
Speaker 1: into the game with twenty two career fumbles, so that's

2052
01:46:41,320 --> 01:46:44,120
Speaker 1: his achilles heel. And until he gets it solved. You

2053
01:46:44,280 --> 01:46:47,559
Speaker 1: know this, Steven, In every defensive meeting room they're talking

2054
01:46:47,600 --> 01:46:50,360
Speaker 1: about get the ball out of his hands. He's gonna

2055
01:46:50,360 --> 01:46:52,439
Speaker 1: be running. We can get the ball out of his hands,

2056
01:46:52,560 --> 01:46:55,679
Speaker 1: go after the football as he's running. So it's gonna

2057
01:46:55,720 --> 01:46:58,439
Speaker 1: happen until he gets it fixed. And if he doesn't

2058
01:46:58,479 --> 01:47:01,479
Speaker 1: get it fixed, I don't want Josh Allen to lead

2059
01:47:01,479 --> 01:47:03,720
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills in rushing and I don't want him

2060
01:47:03,720 --> 01:47:06,559
Speaker 1: to lead the Buffalo Bills in fumbles. So those are

2061
01:47:06,600 --> 01:47:09,680
Speaker 1: the two elements for me. So what is too What

2062
01:47:10,280 --> 01:47:15,120
Speaker 1: would be too much ball carrying for you, James? Because

2063
01:47:15,120 --> 01:47:18,640
Speaker 1: we've been talking about this on today's show, and I

2064
01:47:18,720 --> 01:47:21,280
Speaker 1: mean we even said you can have a half a

2065
01:47:21,360 --> 01:47:24,760
Speaker 1: dozen design runs, you better expect that he's gonna make

2066
01:47:24,840 --> 01:47:27,800
Speaker 1: a half dozen more runs on pass plays that don't

2067
01:47:27,840 --> 01:47:30,840
Speaker 1: work and he goes off script. So how much is

2068
01:47:30,880 --> 01:47:34,560
Speaker 1: too much for Josh? Running the ball? Too much is

2069
01:47:34,640 --> 01:47:37,640
Speaker 1: when he's struggling and he takes that big hit at

2070
01:47:37,680 --> 01:47:39,840
Speaker 1: the end of the run, or he puts himself in

2071
01:47:39,920 --> 01:47:42,240
Speaker 1: a position where he can fumble the ball if he

2072
01:47:42,320 --> 01:47:45,519
Speaker 1: can get down and protect himself. He goes the thing

2073
01:47:45,560 --> 01:47:48,160
Speaker 1: about Josh Allen. When he was in high school, he's

2074
01:47:48,160 --> 01:47:50,280
Speaker 1: probably the biggest player on the field. He was probably

2075
01:47:50,360 --> 01:47:53,760
Speaker 1: bigger than half of his offensive lineman. He sticked armed

2076
01:47:53,920 --> 01:47:57,040
Speaker 1: everybody that came up against him. He got to Wyomi,

2077
01:47:57,120 --> 01:48:00,439
Speaker 1: he was still able to out muscle guys. But now

2078
01:48:00,680 --> 01:48:04,240
Speaker 1: when he gets in the NFL and he becomes a runner,

2079
01:48:04,680 --> 01:48:07,599
Speaker 1: he has that X on his chest and people want

2080
01:48:07,640 --> 01:48:09,600
Speaker 1: to go after him and they want to hurt it.

2081
01:48:09,920 --> 01:48:11,600
Speaker 1: They want to put him out of the game. You know,

2082
01:48:12,040 --> 01:48:15,320
Speaker 1: we players aren't supposed to talk like that, but that's

2083
01:48:15,600 --> 01:48:18,280
Speaker 1: really the crux of it. You saw that last shot

2084
01:48:18,400 --> 01:48:20,280
Speaker 1: right there where they tried to take him down low.

2085
01:48:21,240 --> 01:48:24,000
Speaker 1: He's a big, physical guy and he has to learn

2086
01:48:24,080 --> 01:48:26,280
Speaker 1: to protect himself. Yeah, I would agree with you. And

2087
01:48:26,320 --> 01:48:28,240
Speaker 1: that's that's really the balance you're trying to look for.

2088
01:48:28,400 --> 01:48:31,760
Speaker 1: And Chris brought it up to Kyler. Murray and Arizona

2089
01:48:31,880 --> 01:48:35,280
Speaker 1: ran thirteen times. On twelve of those runs, he slid

2090
01:48:35,400 --> 01:48:38,559
Speaker 1: or ran out of bounds and never took a hit.

2091
01:48:39,680 --> 01:48:42,400
Speaker 1: That's perfect, and you can you can. You don't have

2092
01:48:42,439 --> 01:48:44,600
Speaker 1: a problem when you can call your quarterback runs and

2093
01:48:44,800 --> 01:48:47,519
Speaker 1: he never takes a shot, and certainly when he runs

2094
01:48:47,560 --> 01:48:49,719
Speaker 1: down the field as a quarterback after throwing the football.

2095
01:48:49,760 --> 01:48:51,840
Speaker 1: I made this. There's no excuse for him taking a shot.

2096
01:48:51,960 --> 01:48:54,599
Speaker 1: That's totally up to him and it's up to him

2097
01:48:54,640 --> 01:48:58,280
Speaker 1: to make those decisions. I mean, you don't want to

2098
01:48:58,320 --> 01:49:01,320
Speaker 1: take that off the table for the offense. It was

2099
01:49:01,680 --> 01:49:05,640
Speaker 1: two years ago when Josh Allen was hurtling everybody, right,

2100
01:49:05,960 --> 01:49:08,920
Speaker 1: so maybe we've saw that one that he doesn't hurdle

2101
01:49:09,000 --> 01:49:12,840
Speaker 1: guys anymore. But you're right, Kyler Murray is a different

2102
01:49:13,080 --> 01:49:16,360
Speaker 1: type of cat because he and Russell Wilson both have

2103
01:49:16,520 --> 01:49:20,120
Speaker 1: that baseball background where they had the slide and they

2104
01:49:20,320 --> 01:49:23,599
Speaker 1: learned that skill really well and they encompass it at

2105
01:49:23,640 --> 01:49:26,760
Speaker 1: the quarterback position. You know, Josh Allen probably hit a

2106
01:49:26,800 --> 01:49:28,479
Speaker 1: lot of home runs when he played baseball, so he

2107
01:49:28,560 --> 01:49:33,320
Speaker 1: never had the slot. Yeah, all right, So that last

2108
01:49:33,360 --> 01:49:35,479
Speaker 1: one for me, I gotta ask you about how big

2109
01:49:35,560 --> 01:49:39,280
Speaker 1: a concern Tyler Bass is the kicker Miss two made

2110
01:49:39,360 --> 01:49:42,800
Speaker 1: two and looking around the National Football league, it looks

2111
01:49:42,840 --> 01:49:45,200
Speaker 1: like he's not alone. There are a lot of kickers

2112
01:49:45,240 --> 01:49:49,280
Speaker 1: with a longer pedigrees than his, more impressive pedigrees than

2113
01:49:49,360 --> 01:49:52,320
Speaker 1: Tyler Bass, who struggled yesterday as well or over the weekend.

2114
01:49:53,240 --> 01:49:57,519
Speaker 1: Only seventy percent good field goals all across the NFL

2115
01:49:57,600 --> 01:50:00,519
Speaker 1: in Week one, the lowest in almost two thousand. Yeah,

2116
01:50:00,560 --> 01:50:03,439
Speaker 1: in almost twenty years. So Tyler Bass wasn't alone yesterday.

2117
01:50:03,479 --> 01:50:07,439
Speaker 1: How big a concern is that maybe maybe the field

2118
01:50:07,479 --> 01:50:12,560
Speaker 1: goal kickers need preseason? And I don't pretend to be

2119
01:50:12,880 --> 01:50:17,000
Speaker 1: a kicking coach. It just seems like he just pops

2120
01:50:17,040 --> 01:50:21,880
Speaker 1: the ball and he has a really active leg, but

2121
01:50:22,439 --> 01:50:24,920
Speaker 1: I didn't see the nice follow through. I saw him

2122
01:50:25,040 --> 01:50:26,720
Speaker 1: like punch the ball a couple of times, and when

2123
01:50:26,760 --> 01:50:29,320
Speaker 1: he did, he doesn't have that ball that kind of

2124
01:50:29,439 --> 01:50:32,640
Speaker 1: draws back in. It's a straight line and if he

2125
01:50:32,800 --> 01:50:34,920
Speaker 1: if he aligns a little bit differently, or if the

2126
01:50:35,040 --> 01:50:37,160
Speaker 1: wind is pushing in one way, it's going to continue

2127
01:50:37,200 --> 01:50:39,400
Speaker 1: to go in that direction. That first one that he

2128
01:50:39,520 --> 01:50:42,680
Speaker 1: missed was really close. And when you missed the first one,

2129
01:50:42,840 --> 01:50:47,320
Speaker 1: the second one's in your head. Yeah, James, where are

2130
01:50:47,400 --> 01:50:49,160
Speaker 1: we going to be able to find you this week?

2131
01:50:49,439 --> 01:50:53,280
Speaker 1: On CBS. Where are you headed? This is not where's Waldo?

2132
01:50:53,439 --> 01:51:01,120
Speaker 1: I have? I have Jacksonville at Tennessee. Okay, the surprise

2133
01:51:01,240 --> 01:51:05,040
Speaker 1: win in week one they beat the Colts and it's funny.

2134
01:51:05,080 --> 01:51:07,920
Speaker 1: The Colts were the sexy pick in that division and

2135
01:51:08,000 --> 01:51:10,519
Speaker 1: now they're sitting on the bottom. Yeah, that's gonna be

2136
01:51:10,560 --> 01:51:12,479
Speaker 1: a Rockham sock 'em game, though, I mean that is

2137
01:51:12,520 --> 01:51:15,160
Speaker 1: gonna be a physical contest. So we'll keep an eye

2138
01:51:15,200 --> 01:51:18,640
Speaker 1: out for you out there for week two action Jacksonville

2139
01:51:18,680 --> 01:51:21,519
Speaker 1: and Tennessee. So if you got that, you got got

2140
01:51:21,560 --> 01:51:23,800
Speaker 1: the dish for the dish, Yeah, tune it in and

2141
01:51:24,160 --> 01:51:26,519
Speaker 1: listen to James over there with Andrew. Hopefully we'll cross

2142
01:51:26,560 --> 01:51:28,519
Speaker 1: pass with you again as well. James, thanks so much

2143
01:51:28,560 --> 01:51:31,320
Speaker 1: for joining us this great scene, you bro. I don't

2144
01:51:31,360 --> 01:51:33,400
Speaker 1: know who'll get the first place bills down the road.

2145
01:51:33,439 --> 01:51:37,080
Speaker 1: I hope you don't. That's right, that's all right, Thanks

2146
01:51:37,160 --> 01:51:39,519
Speaker 1: very much, James. Hall of Famer James lofton joining us

2147
01:51:39,600 --> 01:51:42,639
Speaker 1: on the line there from San Diego talking Bills after

2148
01:51:42,720 --> 01:51:44,960
Speaker 1: he did the game of Andrew Cantalan here in Buffalo

2149
01:51:45,160 --> 01:51:48,160
Speaker 1: over the weekend, And yeah, we may not if the

2150
01:51:48,240 --> 01:51:50,479
Speaker 1: Bills are out in front and they're getting you know,

2151
01:51:50,680 --> 01:51:52,400
Speaker 1: if they're the game of the week, I mean they're

2152
01:51:52,400 --> 01:51:55,280
Speaker 1: playing they got four primetime games. He's not doing those,

2153
01:51:56,800 --> 01:51:59,360
Speaker 1: you know, So there's four right there. And you know,

2154
01:51:59,439 --> 01:52:02,280
Speaker 1: if they get if they're getting broadcast in most of

2155
01:52:02,320 --> 01:52:05,880
Speaker 1: the country, we're probably getting NANCE or we're getting whose

2156
01:52:05,920 --> 01:52:10,160
Speaker 1: team too, is it Harlan, Yeah, Kevin Harlan uh and uh,

2157
01:52:10,640 --> 01:52:18,000
Speaker 1: Trent Green or perhaps rich Gannon? Yeah, I An Eagle

2158
01:52:18,040 --> 01:52:20,640
Speaker 1: and rich Gannon. Those are the top three crews. So

2159
01:52:20,720 --> 01:52:22,240
Speaker 1: if they're going to most of the country, they're gonna

2160
01:52:22,240 --> 01:52:23,600
Speaker 1: put one of those teams on it. When you go

2161
01:52:23,680 --> 01:52:26,720
Speaker 1: out to those NFC teams as well, you'll get AFC's.

2162
01:52:26,760 --> 01:52:28,920
Speaker 1: But when you get the the let's see who the

2163
01:52:29,040 --> 01:52:32,679
Speaker 1: Seahawks uh come into town, So that'll be a Fox game,

2164
01:52:32,800 --> 01:52:34,560
Speaker 1: right And when you get the Rams coming in in

2165
01:52:34,640 --> 01:52:37,519
Speaker 1: two weeks, that'll be a Fox game as well. So

2166
01:52:37,560 --> 01:52:40,519
Speaker 1: it'll be interesting to see which announced crew we get

2167
01:52:40,600 --> 01:52:43,240
Speaker 1: from the Fox network as well. Now we've been promising

2168
01:52:43,439 --> 01:52:46,840
Speaker 1: all day the comment from Brian Dable on the very

2169
01:52:46,920 --> 01:52:49,360
Speaker 1: topic we're discussing today, which is how much is too

2170
01:52:49,439 --> 01:52:54,439
Speaker 1: much running for Josh Allen and Brian Dable did address

2171
01:52:54,600 --> 01:52:57,320
Speaker 1: that in his press conference with the media on Monday,

2172
01:52:57,479 --> 01:53:02,479
Speaker 1: here was his take on that very subject. The quarterback

2173
01:53:02,760 --> 01:53:05,639
Speaker 1: zone read game is, you know, part of our game.

2174
01:53:06,120 --> 01:53:09,439
Speaker 1: And when you're calling a zone read, you know you

2175
01:53:09,640 --> 01:53:11,360
Speaker 1: I can't tell you who's going to have the ball.

2176
01:53:11,960 --> 01:53:13,880
Speaker 1: A lot of that is predicated on the defense and

2177
01:53:13,960 --> 01:53:15,240
Speaker 1: how they played. You know, it could go to the

2178
01:53:15,360 --> 01:53:18,320
Speaker 1: running back, it could go to the quarterback. There's only

2179
01:53:18,360 --> 01:53:22,479
Speaker 1: a few called quarterback runs per se. And then obviously

2180
01:53:22,560 --> 01:53:24,680
Speaker 1: Josh does a great job with his legs when we're

2181
01:53:24,720 --> 01:53:27,920
Speaker 1: throwing the football scrambling. So you know, the zone read

2182
01:53:28,040 --> 01:53:31,559
Speaker 1: is as an obvious element to to our game, particularly

2183
01:53:31,560 --> 01:53:33,240
Speaker 1: I would say last game. Now, whether it is the

2184
01:53:33,280 --> 01:53:35,439
Speaker 1: next week or the week after that, I couldn't tell you.

2185
01:53:35,520 --> 01:53:37,320
Speaker 1: But you know, you go back and you play a

2186
01:53:37,400 --> 01:53:40,479
Speaker 1: team like New York who was very, very good at

2187
01:53:40,520 --> 01:53:43,160
Speaker 1: stopping the run. It's just a way to try to

2188
01:53:43,200 --> 01:53:46,240
Speaker 1: get an extra hat. And you know last year, you know,

2189
01:53:46,320 --> 01:53:48,200
Speaker 1: the game that they struggled the most with was against

2190
01:53:48,200 --> 01:53:50,680
Speaker 1: the Ravens. They gave up over two hundred yards. So

2191
01:53:51,160 --> 01:53:54,679
Speaker 1: that was part of the game plan and certainly wasn't

2192
01:53:54,800 --> 01:53:57,680
Speaker 1: all of it, and we got to do a good

2193
01:53:57,760 --> 01:53:59,479
Speaker 1: job of trying to take care of the ball when

2194
01:53:59,560 --> 01:54:01,760
Speaker 1: when it is in his hands and he works, they

2195
01:54:01,760 --> 01:54:04,960
Speaker 1: don't work to do that. So that's kind of where

2196
01:54:05,000 --> 01:54:07,120
Speaker 1: he stands. It's part of our it's part of our

2197
01:54:07,200 --> 01:54:11,160
Speaker 1: identity on offense. So there's no indication from Brian Dables

2198
01:54:11,240 --> 01:54:14,000
Speaker 1: comment there that things are going to change. So it

2199
01:54:14,160 --> 01:54:17,240
Speaker 1: just might be to what degree if you go back

2200
01:54:17,280 --> 01:54:19,960
Speaker 1: and look at last year and which teams that the

2201
01:54:20,000 --> 01:54:24,479
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins struggled with, it might be at seeing trying

2202
01:54:24,479 --> 01:54:26,560
Speaker 1: to project what this week's game plan is going to be,

2203
01:54:26,680 --> 01:54:28,719
Speaker 1: because if you look back, he said, well they struggled

2204
01:54:28,720 --> 01:54:30,479
Speaker 1: with what Baltimore did to him, as a lot of

2205
01:54:30,520 --> 01:54:32,880
Speaker 1: teams did. Well, he's talking about the Jets. Yes, I know, yeah,

2206
01:54:33,040 --> 01:54:35,000
Speaker 1: so that's what the Bills they said, Well, let's put

2207
01:54:35,040 --> 01:54:37,000
Speaker 1: this in since they struggled with this last year, let's

2208
01:54:37,000 --> 01:54:38,960
Speaker 1: try it against their defense this year. They got that

2209
01:54:39,000 --> 01:54:42,360
Speaker 1: good run defense. So extrapolating that into what they're going

2210
01:54:42,440 --> 01:54:44,320
Speaker 1: to do for this game plan this week, go out

2211
01:54:44,360 --> 01:54:47,320
Speaker 1: and find out what the Miami Dolphins stunk doing defensively

2212
01:54:47,440 --> 01:54:49,360
Speaker 1: last year and see if you can get a lot

2213
01:54:49,520 --> 01:54:51,880
Speaker 1: last year, right, then it's like, well, it's not so

2214
01:54:52,040 --> 01:54:54,600
Speaker 1: even picked just about anything. They were twenty seventh against

2215
01:54:54,640 --> 01:54:57,640
Speaker 1: the run, twenty sixth against the past, twenty fourth and

2216
01:54:57,760 --> 01:55:01,560
Speaker 1: third down defense, and oh, by the way, they were

2217
01:55:01,680 --> 01:55:06,040
Speaker 1: thirty second and points allout dead last, which is why

2218
01:55:06,120 --> 01:55:08,200
Speaker 1: they made wholesale changes on that side of the ball

2219
01:55:08,240 --> 01:55:11,080
Speaker 1: in the offseason and signed people like Kyle van Noy

2220
01:55:11,320 --> 01:55:13,520
Speaker 1: and a land In Roberts from New England. Why they

2221
01:55:13,640 --> 01:55:16,720
Speaker 1: spent a boatload of money on Byron Jones, the corner

2222
01:55:16,760 --> 01:55:20,280
Speaker 1: from Dallas, and it's why they drafted Higbanagena to play

2223
01:55:20,320 --> 01:55:22,920
Speaker 1: in the slot, a physical corner there. And it's why

2224
01:55:22,960 --> 01:55:25,880
Speaker 1: they signed Shack Lawson in free agency. Here's the interesting

2225
01:55:26,000 --> 01:55:28,760
Speaker 1: thing about the Dolphins, Steve. They play that three four

2226
01:55:28,920 --> 01:55:33,160
Speaker 1: front and Shack Lawson is on the line, but he's

2227
01:55:33,200 --> 01:55:38,040
Speaker 1: technically an outside linebacker. You know, he's not dropping into coverage.

2228
01:55:38,080 --> 01:55:42,560
Speaker 1: He can't do that. That's a tell. That's a tell

2229
01:55:42,680 --> 01:55:45,240
Speaker 1: for me for the Bill's offense. They know who Shack is.

2230
01:55:45,600 --> 01:55:47,640
Speaker 1: They know in a three four that guy's not dropping

2231
01:55:47,680 --> 01:55:50,120
Speaker 1: into coverage the one at least anymore than five yards.

2232
01:55:50,240 --> 01:55:53,440
Speaker 1: The one thing about the Bills Dolphins rivalry at the

2233
01:55:53,480 --> 01:55:56,560
Speaker 1: current state is this as well. The Bill scored thirty

2234
01:55:56,640 --> 01:56:00,840
Speaker 1: points in only two games last year home and home

2235
01:56:00,920 --> 01:56:04,560
Speaker 1: series with the Dolphins. They scored thirty one in Buffalo

2236
01:56:05,560 --> 01:56:09,240
Speaker 1: and then they scored thirty seven in Miami. That's the

2237
01:56:09,320 --> 01:56:11,520
Speaker 1: only two that's the only two games the entire year

2238
01:56:11,560 --> 01:56:14,680
Speaker 1: they scored thirty points in. So there's plenty of positive

2239
01:56:14,760 --> 01:56:16,680
Speaker 1: things for the Bills to look back on and say, Okay,

2240
01:56:16,720 --> 01:56:18,720
Speaker 1: we tried this, did this. Here's here's what they did

2241
01:56:18,760 --> 01:56:20,840
Speaker 1: against us here. So there's gonna be plenty for the

2242
01:56:20,880 --> 01:56:23,680
Speaker 1: Bills to draw from in their last two games with

2243
01:56:23,800 --> 01:56:26,480
Speaker 1: the Dolphins the last year that they can they can

2244
01:56:26,600 --> 01:56:28,880
Speaker 1: gain plan for and see if the Dolphins have an

2245
01:56:28,880 --> 01:56:31,880
Speaker 1: answer for yet. Now, flipping this thing around with Josh

2246
01:56:31,920 --> 01:56:34,520
Speaker 1: Allen running the football, Leslie Frasier, who was on with

2247
01:56:34,600 --> 01:56:38,280
Speaker 1: the media yesterday as well, was asked to give an

2248
01:56:38,280 --> 01:56:42,040
Speaker 1: assessment of the kinds of problems a running quarterback like

2249
01:56:42,240 --> 01:56:46,120
Speaker 1: Josh Allen can pose to NFL defenses. Here is coach

2250
01:56:46,160 --> 01:56:50,360
Speaker 1: Frasier's take on that. Yeah, when you have a quarterback

2251
01:56:50,480 --> 01:56:54,080
Speaker 1: who's mobile and can throw the ball from the pocket

2252
01:56:54,120 --> 01:56:57,240
Speaker 1: as well, but yet can still be accord outside the pocket,

2253
01:56:57,920 --> 01:57:00,720
Speaker 1: that definitely presents problems for the defense. I mean, you

2254
01:57:00,840 --> 01:57:03,040
Speaker 1: have to come up with a little different plan than

2255
01:57:03,080 --> 01:57:04,880
Speaker 1: you look up a pocket passer, a guy who you

2256
01:57:04,960 --> 01:57:06,680
Speaker 1: kind of know where he's going to be at all times.

2257
01:57:06,760 --> 01:57:10,560
Speaker 1: So you much prefer to to find a guy who's

2258
01:57:10,560 --> 01:57:13,080
Speaker 1: a statue back there and he's in one spot to

2259
01:57:13,160 --> 01:57:14,920
Speaker 1: put together you're playing around that. When you have a

2260
01:57:14,960 --> 01:57:17,960
Speaker 1: guy that's mobile, you gotta to buy his ways to

2261
01:57:18,120 --> 01:57:20,280
Speaker 1: try to keep him in the pocket and not let

2262
01:57:20,400 --> 01:57:21,960
Speaker 1: him get out of the pocket and make plays on

2263
01:57:22,040 --> 01:57:24,520
Speaker 1: the run, because it causes your coverage to break down

2264
01:57:24,560 --> 01:57:26,600
Speaker 1: a lot of times when guys get out of the

2265
01:57:26,640 --> 01:57:29,760
Speaker 1: pocket and they're moving around, receivers are trying to uncover.

2266
01:57:30,360 --> 01:57:33,800
Speaker 1: So what seemed good early on all of us, all

2267
01:57:33,800 --> 01:57:36,120
Speaker 1: of a sudden from a defensive standpoint, isn't as good

2268
01:57:36,160 --> 01:57:38,840
Speaker 1: in him once he starts moving around. So it can

2269
01:57:38,880 --> 01:57:42,320
Speaker 1: definitely cause your problem. It's an extra issue to deal

2270
01:57:42,400 --> 01:57:45,440
Speaker 1: with it. So really it's a It causes a huge

2271
01:57:45,440 --> 01:57:48,200
Speaker 1: amount of a degree of a huge degree of difficulty

2272
01:57:48,960 --> 01:57:51,600
Speaker 1: for the defense when a quarterback starts to extend to

2273
01:57:51,680 --> 01:57:53,400
Speaker 1: play or just you know, put the ball under his

2274
01:57:53,480 --> 01:57:56,520
Speaker 1: arm and take off running and you just gotta rally.

2275
01:57:57,080 --> 01:58:01,400
Speaker 1: It's really difficult for a defense. Defensive coordinators have always

2276
01:58:02,320 --> 01:58:05,360
Speaker 1: struggled with that. And I'll give you one story before

2277
01:58:05,600 --> 01:58:06,960
Speaker 1: before we go to break. And this is when I

2278
01:58:07,040 --> 01:58:08,760
Speaker 1: may have told already on this if this is an

2279
01:58:08,760 --> 01:58:10,600
Speaker 1: old story, I'm an old man, and I repeat myself.

2280
01:58:10,640 --> 01:58:18,640
Speaker 1: So in nineteen eighty five, No, nineteen eighty six, No,

2281
01:58:18,760 --> 01:58:21,400
Speaker 1: it's nineteen eighty five, my first year in the National

2282
01:58:21,440 --> 01:58:24,440
Speaker 1: Football League. I'm playing for the Houston Oilers. Jerry Glanville,

2283
01:58:24,440 --> 01:58:26,520
Speaker 1: who is a renowned defensive coordinator before he was a

2284
01:58:26,560 --> 01:58:30,160
Speaker 1: head coach for three different playoff teams, great football coach.

2285
01:58:30,680 --> 01:58:32,920
Speaker 1: We were playing the San Francisco forty nine ers and

2286
01:58:32,960 --> 01:58:37,040
Speaker 1: they had Joe Montana in there. You know, he's starting quarterback.

2287
01:58:37,920 --> 01:58:41,200
Speaker 1: His backup was Steve Young. Okay, so this is during

2288
01:58:41,280 --> 01:58:44,040
Speaker 1: that era, right, So we're getting ready to play the

2289
01:58:44,120 --> 01:58:48,240
Speaker 1: forty nine ers, and Jerry was a big zone blitz

2290
01:58:48,360 --> 01:58:50,640
Speaker 1: guy three to four. I mean, he's bringing guys from

2291
01:58:50,680 --> 01:58:53,200
Speaker 1: every angle or whatever and still playing zone behind it

2292
01:58:53,240 --> 01:58:56,000
Speaker 1: because it was confused the offensive lineman. And he says,

2293
01:58:56,040 --> 01:58:57,840
Speaker 1: we're gonna get it. You've got a free hitter here.

2294
01:58:57,920 --> 01:58:59,960
Speaker 1: You know, I thought that that was what they specialized.

2295
01:59:00,000 --> 01:59:03,480
Speaker 1: And he was a fantastic. He still is a fantastic coach.

2296
01:59:04,320 --> 01:59:06,360
Speaker 1: But he said this during the week. I'll never forget it.

2297
01:59:07,360 --> 01:59:13,080
Speaker 1: We're playing Joe Montana. He said, listen, you guys, come in.

2298
01:59:13,160 --> 01:59:16,560
Speaker 1: You get a shot on sixteen here, you get him

2299
01:59:16,600 --> 01:59:20,720
Speaker 1: on the ground, but you cradle him because I don't

2300
01:59:20,720 --> 01:59:24,000
Speaker 1: want number eight coming off the bench because well, we

2301
01:59:24,120 --> 01:59:26,040
Speaker 1: got our chances with this guy's because we know where

2302
01:59:26,080 --> 01:59:28,400
Speaker 1: he's gonna be when eight comes off the bench. We

2303
01:59:28,480 --> 01:59:34,240
Speaker 1: got no answer for that. He was telling him, don't

2304
01:59:34,440 --> 01:59:39,040
Speaker 1: take Joe Montana out of the game because we don't

2305
01:59:39,040 --> 01:59:43,320
Speaker 1: want Steve Young in the game. That's how much these

2306
01:59:43,600 --> 01:59:49,440
Speaker 1: coordinators hate break out running quarterbacks. That's unbelievable to me.

2307
01:59:49,600 --> 01:59:51,960
Speaker 1: Do you think back on that the guy was waiting Montana.

2308
01:59:52,280 --> 01:59:54,120
Speaker 1: Can you leave the four time Super Bowl winner in

2309
01:59:54,160 --> 01:59:57,360
Speaker 1: the game place? Just leave him out, leave that, don't

2310
01:59:57,400 --> 02:00:00,120
Speaker 1: injure him. Leave that first smellot Hall of Famer. That

2311
02:00:00,320 --> 02:00:05,120
Speaker 1: is not if that is not the quintessential lens through

2312
02:00:05,200 --> 02:00:08,320
Speaker 1: which you need to look at Jerry Glanville. I don't

2313
02:00:08,320 --> 02:00:10,320
Speaker 1: know what it is because that's who. But he was right,

2314
02:00:10,720 --> 02:00:13,800
Speaker 1: I know, but that but he was big on outlandish

2315
02:00:13,800 --> 02:00:16,080
Speaker 1: statements like that. Wasn't he well, this was unpracticed on

2316
02:00:16,120 --> 02:00:18,440
Speaker 1: a Wednesday. He wasn't like. This wasn't like to the media.

2317
02:00:18,680 --> 02:00:20,680
Speaker 1: And he's a coordinator. He wasn't even the head coach

2318
02:00:21,240 --> 02:00:24,920
Speaker 1: is my rookie season. And I was like, Okay, that's

2319
02:00:24,920 --> 02:00:27,720
Speaker 1: an interesting that's weird, but okay, if he's right, you know.

2320
02:00:27,920 --> 02:00:29,800
Speaker 1: And then the other guys in the Hall of Fame too,

2321
02:00:30,000 --> 02:00:31,600
Speaker 1: they're both in the Hall of Fame. And Steve Young,

2322
02:00:32,440 --> 02:00:35,560
Speaker 1: I mean his highlights or off the hook, I mean

2323
02:00:36,120 --> 02:00:38,560
Speaker 1: he was. He was an all time great that run

2324
02:00:38,600 --> 02:00:42,880
Speaker 1: against Minnesota, and it just takes he stumbles on the

2325
02:00:42,960 --> 02:00:44,800
Speaker 1: last three steps to get in the end that it's

2326
02:00:44,840 --> 02:00:48,000
Speaker 1: what is one of the most unbelievable quarters. And I've

2327
02:00:48,000 --> 02:00:49,680
Speaker 1: thought about it a million times. Whenever I see it,

2328
02:00:49,720 --> 02:00:54,040
Speaker 1: I think, I know this. The next day, as great

2329
02:00:54,120 --> 02:00:56,600
Speaker 1: as that run was, as great as that victory probably

2330
02:00:56,760 --> 02:01:02,840
Speaker 1: was for that team, they are busting his chops. And

2331
02:01:03,280 --> 02:01:08,760
Speaker 1: the next day in films, I'm doing that they ran

2332
02:01:08,920 --> 02:01:13,120
Speaker 1: that minimum minimum twenty times and every guy in the

2333
02:01:13,240 --> 02:01:15,960
Speaker 1: room had a punchline for that one. It was just

2334
02:01:16,040 --> 02:01:19,160
Speaker 1: one of the all time listen Hall of Fame run.

2335
02:01:19,320 --> 02:01:21,760
Speaker 1: I have to type my shoe Hall of Fame run

2336
02:01:21,880 --> 02:01:23,840
Speaker 1: one of those, but to stumble on the last minute,

2337
02:01:23,880 --> 02:01:25,600
Speaker 1: to have to lay out to get in the end

2338
02:01:25,680 --> 02:01:28,640
Speaker 1: zone when nobody's around him, just all time fun play.

2339
02:01:28,800 --> 02:01:32,160
Speaker 1: It's just so hilarious. But that's you know, that's stuff

2340
02:01:32,160 --> 02:01:35,400
Speaker 1: that Jered Glanville said holds true even today for defensive coordinators,

2341
02:01:35,400 --> 02:01:37,600
Speaker 1: and Leslie Frasier in that sound by just alluded to it.

2342
02:01:38,080 --> 02:01:40,160
Speaker 1: Break time for us. But when Steve and I come back,

2343
02:01:40,240 --> 02:01:42,280
Speaker 1: we'll get your thoughts on the tweet sheet about how

2344
02:01:42,360 --> 02:01:45,000
Speaker 1: much is too much running for Josh Allen and we'll

2345
02:01:45,080 --> 02:01:47,120
Speaker 1: work in a little true false if we have time.

2346
02:01:47,560 --> 02:01:50,440
Speaker 1: One Bills Live presented by Kalida Health. This is Buffalo

2347
02:01:50,520 --> 02:02:05,120
Speaker 1: Bill's Radio. For those of you Bill's fans who somehow

2348
02:02:05,320 --> 02:02:08,400
Speaker 1: some way missed Sunday's game. You will have a chance

2349
02:02:08,480 --> 02:02:12,240
Speaker 1: to watch it again, as the game will reair tonight

2350
02:02:12,320 --> 02:02:16,360
Speaker 1: at seven pm right here on MSG for our MSG

2351
02:02:16,480 --> 02:02:19,760
Speaker 1: viewers that are watching us right now, so you can

2352
02:02:19,800 --> 02:02:22,320
Speaker 1: watch the twenty seven seventeen victory over the Jets again.

2353
02:02:22,680 --> 02:02:24,880
Speaker 1: Do it right? Do it tonight so nice? Maybe do

2354
02:02:25,000 --> 02:02:27,640
Speaker 1: some scouting, you know, maybe watch something that you didn't

2355
02:02:27,640 --> 02:02:29,760
Speaker 1: watch as the game was unfolding. Maybe you're one that

2356
02:02:29,800 --> 02:02:31,560
Speaker 1: when you're watching the game, you follow the ball. Maybe

2357
02:02:31,560 --> 02:02:33,440
Speaker 1: if we watch some offensive line, but you don't want

2358
02:02:33,440 --> 02:02:35,480
Speaker 1: to spend the money on game pass or something like that,

2359
02:02:35,640 --> 02:02:37,520
Speaker 1: you go back and watch it. If you can't watch,

2360
02:02:37,640 --> 02:02:41,680
Speaker 1: it won't be it probably will be condensed a little bit, right, Uh,

2361
02:02:41,840 --> 02:02:44,720
Speaker 1: that I cannot speak to, but I suppose it's possible

2362
02:02:44,720 --> 02:02:46,880
Speaker 1: because they want to fit it in a specific time window.

2363
02:02:46,960 --> 02:02:48,760
Speaker 1: Imagine they'll they'll chop it up and make it real

2364
02:02:48,840 --> 02:02:52,640
Speaker 1: quick to watch. Sure, it'll be better than you know,

2365
02:02:52,920 --> 02:02:57,000
Speaker 1: the whatever, be more efficient watching, more efficient for sure.

2366
02:02:57,160 --> 02:03:00,760
Speaker 1: Time we got to get to the tweet sheet because

2367
02:03:00,800 --> 02:03:03,120
Speaker 1: we haven't gotten there today. Brought to you by Corrigan

2368
02:03:03,200 --> 02:03:07,880
Speaker 1: Moving Systems, the official equipment moving company of the Buffalo Bills,

2369
02:03:07,920 --> 02:03:10,000
Speaker 1: and leading us off on the tweet sheet today as

2370
02:03:10,040 --> 02:03:11,840
Speaker 1: we were asking what should the Bills do with Josh

2371
02:03:11,880 --> 02:03:15,160
Speaker 1: Allen in the run game, Ronnie says, I'm all for

2372
02:03:15,400 --> 02:03:18,280
Speaker 1: using it. It's definitely a weapon, but not sure often.

2373
02:03:19,440 --> 02:03:22,800
Speaker 1: Oh you read that one, didn't you? From Max? Sorry,

2374
02:03:22,840 --> 02:03:25,480
Speaker 1: we'll jump ahead to Max. Did we do Max? No? No,

2375
02:03:26,440 --> 02:03:30,280
Speaker 1: Max says Josh and Dable have an entire arsenal of

2376
02:03:30,360 --> 02:03:33,600
Speaker 1: playmakers at their disposal. They don't need to resort to

2377
02:03:33,680 --> 02:03:36,680
Speaker 1: design runs into the belly of the beast. I don't

2378
02:03:36,680 --> 02:03:39,240
Speaker 1: want our franchise quarterback running into the belly of the

2379
02:03:39,320 --> 02:03:43,520
Speaker 1: beast and exposing himself to injury unless it's a scramble

2380
02:03:43,600 --> 02:03:47,840
Speaker 1: and easy pickens. Max is a big fan of the

2381
02:03:47,880 --> 02:03:49,960
Speaker 1: belly of the beast. I think he just likes saying

2382
02:03:50,000 --> 02:03:53,200
Speaker 1: it or writing it in this case. Yeah, he's right.

2383
02:03:54,760 --> 02:03:57,480
Speaker 1: Easy pickens is easy pickens. Take it and doesn't. I

2384
02:03:57,520 --> 02:03:59,400
Speaker 1: don't care who's got the ball in their hands. Take well.

2385
02:03:59,520 --> 02:04:02,440
Speaker 1: And Josh saw that on the goal line call when

2386
02:04:02,480 --> 02:04:05,720
Speaker 1: he sauntered in for a two yard touchdown untouched to

2387
02:04:05,840 --> 02:04:07,560
Speaker 1: the left side of the formation where he had eight

2388
02:04:07,960 --> 02:04:10,600
Speaker 1: linemen up on the offense, and the play call was

2389
02:04:10,640 --> 02:04:13,520
Speaker 1: a run pass option, and the pass was going to

2390
02:04:13,600 --> 02:04:16,680
Speaker 1: be to Ryan Bates who was running across the back

2391
02:04:16,720 --> 02:04:19,480
Speaker 1: of the end zone, but he saw nothing but daylight

2392
02:04:19,560 --> 02:04:23,080
Speaker 1: to his left and decided to just run it in right,

2393
02:04:23,160 --> 02:04:26,840
Speaker 1: which you know, higher percentage play. Yeah, and that you

2394
02:04:27,920 --> 02:04:34,200
Speaker 1: take the rushing touchdown, and that's uh, Tasa takes play right.

2395
02:04:34,280 --> 02:04:36,280
Speaker 1: It was a great play Josh when he gets out

2396
02:04:36,320 --> 02:04:39,280
Speaker 1: on round the edge. He's gonna run out run any

2397
02:04:39,360 --> 02:04:41,880
Speaker 1: defensive end that's there for contain, which he did on

2398
02:04:41,960 --> 02:04:44,760
Speaker 1: that plane. I think most defenses now against the Bills,

2399
02:04:44,800 --> 02:04:47,400
Speaker 1: even when they go that at heavy set, it might

2400
02:04:47,520 --> 02:04:51,160
Speaker 1: be they're probably gonna have a guy who's light enough

2401
02:04:51,240 --> 02:04:55,080
Speaker 1: to run Josh down. If he does bootleg it out,

2402
02:04:55,280 --> 02:04:59,320
Speaker 1: that guy will be responsible for contain. Now, if I'm

2403
02:04:59,360 --> 02:05:01,400
Speaker 1: going down rap hole again, but if they do that,

2404
02:05:01,680 --> 02:05:03,640
Speaker 1: that means the next guy there who's big, is going

2405
02:05:03,720 --> 02:05:06,040
Speaker 1: to be responsible for coverage of whoever's there. Now, I

2406
02:05:06,040 --> 02:05:08,200
Speaker 1: fit's Ryan Bates. Okay, you got a heavy guy covering

2407
02:05:08,240 --> 02:05:11,200
Speaker 1: a heavy guy, but if it's not. If it's a

2408
02:05:11,320 --> 02:05:13,920
Speaker 1: tight end, then you've got a problem and then the

2409
02:05:14,000 --> 02:05:17,600
Speaker 1: past becomes easy. But that right there gives you an

2410
02:05:17,680 --> 02:05:20,760
Speaker 1: idea of why that play worked because the Bills go

2411
02:05:20,880 --> 02:05:23,880
Speaker 1: with eight offensive linemen, I mean go three tight ends,

2412
02:05:23,880 --> 02:05:27,240
Speaker 1: but all right alignment, they're all they go jumbo times three.

2413
02:05:27,520 --> 02:05:30,400
Speaker 1: Bates is the single tight end to that side, the

2414
02:05:30,520 --> 02:05:33,240
Speaker 1: three hundred pounder Josh Allen. So what they do is

2415
02:05:33,360 --> 02:05:37,560
Speaker 1: they got a heavy guy on him, and if Josh

2416
02:05:37,600 --> 02:05:39,760
Speaker 1: gets outside, that heavy guy can't catch him. Yeah, so

2417
02:05:39,880 --> 02:05:41,960
Speaker 1: their defenses are going to have a plan for having

2418
02:05:42,000 --> 02:05:44,600
Speaker 1: a light, fast guy there to chase down the bootleg.

2419
02:05:44,720 --> 02:05:46,480
Speaker 1: And that is not a play that we have ever

2420
02:05:46,560 --> 02:05:50,960
Speaker 1: seen before in terms of personnel grouping because previously, well,

2421
02:05:51,120 --> 02:05:53,320
Speaker 1: you can't dress eight lineman if you really want it to,

2422
02:05:53,480 --> 02:05:55,800
Speaker 1: but more often than not, most teams dress only seven.

2423
02:05:56,280 --> 02:05:58,560
Speaker 1: You can dress eight as an extra player this year

2424
02:05:58,600 --> 02:06:00,880
Speaker 1: and having a game day roster of forty eight if

2425
02:06:01,320 --> 02:06:04,560
Speaker 1: you have a lineman dressed, so it gives it gives

2426
02:06:04,600 --> 02:06:07,560
Speaker 1: the defense an extra layer to think about. He says, Okay,

2427
02:06:07,640 --> 02:06:11,400
Speaker 1: do we have enough big athletes, because you got to

2428
02:06:11,440 --> 02:06:13,560
Speaker 1: think that the Bills have a package with you know,

2429
02:06:13,720 --> 02:06:18,480
Speaker 1: pass package and a run package with that personnel grouping.

2430
02:06:18,520 --> 02:06:20,680
Speaker 1: They don't have to, but you got to be ready

2431
02:06:20,720 --> 02:06:24,200
Speaker 1: for it. Yeah, Defenders, you know, coordinators gotta say, gosh,

2432
02:06:24,520 --> 02:06:25,840
Speaker 1: we're gonna do Okay, So if we're gonna do this,

2433
02:06:25,960 --> 02:06:28,120
Speaker 1: we're gonna have our big heavy guys cover these big

2434
02:06:28,200 --> 02:06:30,360
Speaker 1: heavy guys, or we're gonna have some athletes on the

2435
02:06:30,440 --> 02:06:33,520
Speaker 1: field and hope they can just kind of hold their

2436
02:06:33,600 --> 02:06:36,080
Speaker 1: ground in a running game if they power off the edge,

2437
02:06:36,760 --> 02:06:39,000
Speaker 1: which is not going to happen, right. They can't do that,

2438
02:06:39,160 --> 02:06:42,080
Speaker 1: So it's a. It's a dilemma for defensive coordinator, and

2439
02:06:42,840 --> 02:06:44,920
Speaker 1: it'll be interesting to see what other teams do and

2440
02:06:45,080 --> 02:06:47,800
Speaker 1: with that personnel package if they indeed that personnel package

2441
02:06:47,840 --> 02:06:51,200
Speaker 1: rears its on the tweet sheet from Dinah, she says,

2442
02:06:51,440 --> 02:06:54,280
Speaker 1: use it when the regular run game is having trouble,

2443
02:06:54,320 --> 02:06:57,160
Speaker 1: along with end a rounds and screens. I think Josh

2444
02:06:57,280 --> 02:06:59,000
Speaker 1: is at the point where we can run more passing

2445
02:06:59,080 --> 02:07:01,520
Speaker 1: than rushing, but still need to keep it balanced. Our

2446
02:07:01,600 --> 02:07:05,360
Speaker 1: running backs will get better as they play more. Yeah,

2447
02:07:05,400 --> 02:07:07,800
Speaker 1: I don't think the running backs were the problem yesterday

2448
02:07:08,240 --> 02:07:11,400
Speaker 1: or Sunday. It was. It was creating the creases. It was. Yeah,

2449
02:07:11,440 --> 02:07:14,600
Speaker 1: the offensive line was playing against a really good defensive front,

2450
02:07:15,000 --> 02:07:18,080
Speaker 1: and that's that was the problem. You're running against an

2451
02:07:18,240 --> 02:07:21,800
Speaker 1: NFL defense that was number two in the NFL against

2452
02:07:21,840 --> 02:07:25,040
Speaker 1: the run. It wasn't because they'd nobody tried to run

2453
02:07:25,120 --> 02:07:28,440
Speaker 1: it all. Yeah, I mean it was. They're good. They're good,

2454
02:07:28,560 --> 02:07:32,200
Speaker 1: and they acted like it yesterday Sunday from three puts

2455
02:07:32,240 --> 02:07:36,320
Speaker 1: for days. You have to use Allan's legs as a weapon.

2456
02:07:36,720 --> 02:07:39,440
Speaker 1: It's another big source of our offense. He scores with

2457
02:07:39,520 --> 02:07:42,280
Speaker 1: his legs and makes plays with his legs. Take full

2458
02:07:42,320 --> 02:07:48,160
Speaker 1: advantage of what you have. Just protect the ball, you

2459
02:07:48,240 --> 02:07:50,480
Speaker 1: know so, And that's there's a good number of Bills

2460
02:07:50,520 --> 02:07:52,560
Speaker 1: fans that are in this boat. Hey, if it works,

2461
02:07:52,680 --> 02:07:56,320
Speaker 1: let's use it just a little bit better ball security. Please.

2462
02:07:57,000 --> 02:07:59,400
Speaker 1: I think there's a good number of fans in that category,

2463
02:07:59,680 --> 02:08:02,120
Speaker 1: as he saw in the voting in the Twitter poll,

2464
02:08:02,200 --> 02:08:05,320
Speaker 1: because right now leading the way was use it when

2465
02:08:05,400 --> 02:08:08,560
Speaker 1: it makes sense against a give an opponent as a mismatch,

2466
02:08:09,040 --> 02:08:13,200
Speaker 1: and then next in the voting was used as much

2467
02:08:13,240 --> 02:08:15,880
Speaker 1: as you want. It's a weapon, you know. I said this.

2468
02:08:16,120 --> 02:08:17,680
Speaker 1: I said, this is a third of the vote, right.

2469
02:08:17,720 --> 02:08:21,240
Speaker 1: I said this the other day, Brownie, that when you're

2470
02:08:21,280 --> 02:08:23,160
Speaker 1: playing good football in the NFL and you're trying to

2471
02:08:23,240 --> 02:08:26,640
Speaker 1: win games, you have to use everything at your disposal

2472
02:08:26,720 --> 02:08:28,800
Speaker 1: to the best the best. If they can't match up

2473
02:08:28,880 --> 02:08:32,160
Speaker 1: with some small nuance of your offense, you exploit it.

2474
02:08:32,680 --> 02:08:34,960
Speaker 1: Josh's legs, his ability to run with the ball and

2475
02:08:35,080 --> 02:08:38,200
Speaker 1: how fast he is is more than just a nuance.

2476
02:08:39,080 --> 02:08:43,200
Speaker 1: It's a real package of plays that you have at

2477
02:08:43,240 --> 02:08:47,080
Speaker 1: your disposal that say, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers do not,

2478
02:08:47,760 --> 02:08:54,400
Speaker 1: the New Orleans or the take your pick, the Houston

2479
02:08:54,480 --> 02:08:56,920
Speaker 1: Texans don't or probably they do, but there's teams that don't,

2480
02:08:57,080 --> 02:08:59,640
Speaker 1: right because of their quarterback. The Bears don't have it,

2481
02:08:59,720 --> 02:09:03,240
Speaker 1: the the Lions don't have it, The Packers don't have that.

2482
02:09:03,400 --> 02:09:06,240
Speaker 1: Even with Aaron Rodgers, the Steelers don't have it. Big

2483
02:09:06,280 --> 02:09:08,920
Speaker 1: Ben can't run like that. There's a lot of teams

2484
02:09:08,960 --> 02:09:13,560
Speaker 1: that don't have that part of their arsenal at their disposal.

2485
02:09:13,680 --> 02:09:16,760
Speaker 1: So if you're gonna win games against teams that have

2486
02:09:16,920 --> 02:09:19,240
Speaker 1: other skill sets that they can exploit, you've got to

2487
02:09:19,280 --> 02:09:22,440
Speaker 1: exploit your skill set. So at some point, Josh Allen's

2488
02:09:22,440 --> 02:09:24,840
Speaker 1: ability to run is half is going to have to

2489
02:09:24,920 --> 02:09:28,520
Speaker 1: be used by this team, and if you want to advance,

2490
02:09:28,880 --> 02:09:34,760
Speaker 1: it's gonna have to work. Don't wait ten weeks before

2491
02:09:34,800 --> 02:09:37,880
Speaker 1: you actually go to it again. You've got to use

2492
02:09:37,920 --> 02:09:40,000
Speaker 1: it enough to keep it well oiled, keep it on

2493
02:09:40,080 --> 02:09:42,320
Speaker 1: the plate so that if you need it, you can

2494
02:09:42,360 --> 02:09:45,520
Speaker 1: eat it right. You can't just stick it back in

2495
02:09:45,600 --> 02:09:47,040
Speaker 1: the fridge and hope that when you pull it out

2496
02:09:47,040 --> 02:09:49,280
Speaker 1: it falls out real quick. You've got to keep it

2497
02:09:49,520 --> 02:09:51,960
Speaker 1: on the in the game plan and use it because

2498
02:09:52,000 --> 02:09:54,360
Speaker 1: when you need it, you've got to have it up

2499
02:09:54,440 --> 02:09:59,000
Speaker 1: and ready and well rehearsed. Because in a season, like

2500
02:09:59,080 --> 02:10:02,480
Speaker 1: the Bills, and I'm using finger quotes in the like

2501
02:10:02,600 --> 02:10:05,920
Speaker 1: this with high expectations, they're gonna be games where you

2502
02:10:06,240 --> 02:10:10,600
Speaker 1: need all of it to win and you don't know

2503
02:10:10,840 --> 02:10:12,920
Speaker 1: exactly if you're gonna need it or not, but when

2504
02:10:12,960 --> 02:10:14,560
Speaker 1: you call them on it, you need it to be ready.

2505
02:10:14,680 --> 02:10:17,440
Speaker 1: And Josh Allen's running ability is one of those things.

2506
02:10:17,760 --> 02:10:19,800
Speaker 1: You hope you don't have to run him fifteen times

2507
02:10:19,840 --> 02:10:22,960
Speaker 1: a game, but if you get into a game where

2508
02:10:23,000 --> 02:10:25,920
Speaker 1: it's do or die, if it's win or go home,

2509
02:10:27,640 --> 02:10:30,720
Speaker 1: make sure that package is there and you've been running it.

2510
02:10:30,840 --> 02:10:34,720
Speaker 1: You know what's going on right. So that's that's part

2511
02:10:34,720 --> 02:10:36,520
Speaker 1: of the balance you got to strike. But you've got

2512
02:10:36,680 --> 02:10:38,240
Speaker 1: to have it in there. You've got to use it.

2513
02:10:38,320 --> 02:10:40,000
Speaker 1: You got to show it at least enough to have

2514
02:10:40,120 --> 02:10:44,240
Speaker 1: teams think about it all the time. And Bills and

2515
02:10:44,440 --> 02:10:46,720
Speaker 1: Mets fan agrees with you. I think we should use

2516
02:10:46,800 --> 02:10:49,720
Speaker 1: all of Josh's abilities, especially a run, as much as

2517
02:10:49,760 --> 02:10:52,640
Speaker 1: we can, but in the right circumstances. The run where

2518
02:10:52,680 --> 02:10:54,760
Speaker 1: we got the second fumble was a poor play called

2519
02:10:54,800 --> 02:10:58,600
Speaker 1: decision in my opinion, but every other run seemed to

2520
02:10:58,720 --> 02:11:01,560
Speaker 1: be the right move. Steve and I have to take

2521
02:11:01,600 --> 02:11:04,240
Speaker 1: a break, but when we return, it's what have we

2522
02:11:04,400 --> 02:11:07,040
Speaker 1: learned from today's show? And there were plenty of lessons.

2523
02:11:07,120 --> 02:11:10,280
Speaker 1: Which one did we pick for you to remind you about?

2524
02:11:10,880 --> 02:11:13,760
Speaker 1: We'll have it for you next Here on One Bill's Live,

2525
02:11:14,000 --> 02:11:17,360
Speaker 1: presented by Kalid to Health. As always, it's Buffalo Bills

2526
02:11:18,120 --> 02:11:34,280
Speaker 1: Radio time for what have we Learned? Brought to you

2527
02:11:34,400 --> 02:11:38,360
Speaker 1: by Skyworks, the official construction equipment rental company of the

2528
02:11:38,440 --> 02:11:42,080
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. And on the show today was one Kyle

2529
02:11:42,160 --> 02:11:46,080
Speaker 1: Brand from Good Morning Football and I asked him for

2530
02:11:46,480 --> 02:11:51,160
Speaker 1: his take on how the Bills Dolphins matchup on Sunday

2531
02:11:51,240 --> 02:11:54,760
Speaker 1: could go in light of the Dolphins struggles with the

2532
02:11:54,880 --> 02:11:58,400
Speaker 1: running exploits of Cam Newton. Here was Brand's take on that.

2533
02:12:00,520 --> 02:12:02,880
Speaker 1: I think you look for Singletary and Moss from the Bills.

2534
02:12:03,000 --> 02:12:04,560
Speaker 1: I think this is going to be their ascension. This

2535
02:12:04,680 --> 02:12:06,320
Speaker 1: is gonna be their emergence this week. I think you

2536
02:12:06,480 --> 02:12:08,680
Speaker 1: run it. Look at the Pats did against them, and

2537
02:12:08,800 --> 02:12:10,960
Speaker 1: as much as we love it's Pats Rick and who

2538
02:12:11,040 --> 02:12:13,840
Speaker 1: does him. He has an undefeated approval rating. Everybody, especially

2539
02:12:13,880 --> 02:12:16,600
Speaker 1: in Buffalo, loves him. Guys. The Bills should wipe this

2540
02:12:16,640 --> 02:12:19,480
Speaker 1: team out. They're way better and way more talented. Let's

2541
02:12:19,520 --> 02:12:22,320
Speaker 1: get used to the new reality with Buffalo. Now there's

2542
02:12:22,320 --> 02:12:24,480
Speaker 1: some teams that they should blow out. You don't always

2543
02:12:24,520 --> 02:12:26,320
Speaker 1: have to white nufflet in the fourth quarter. I want

2544
02:12:26,320 --> 02:12:28,080
Speaker 1: to see him roll over on this team because after

2545
02:12:28,160 --> 02:12:30,440
Speaker 1: a while, it's what the Pats did. And the Bills

2546
02:12:30,480 --> 02:12:33,960
Speaker 1: are more talented, their quarterback in the system is more experienced.

2547
02:12:34,600 --> 02:12:37,040
Speaker 1: This should be a double digit win. Miami. We love

2548
02:12:37,120 --> 02:12:39,640
Speaker 1: Brian Flores and that's great and love fits Bills are

2549
02:12:39,640 --> 02:12:43,720
Speaker 1: a juggernaut. Show them you're juggernaut. Show them you're a juggernaut.

2550
02:12:44,040 --> 02:12:46,200
Speaker 1: I'm not ready to go there yet. Bro. They could

2551
02:12:46,240 --> 02:12:49,080
Speaker 1: have had a juggernaut result last week. I mean, they

2552
02:12:49,160 --> 02:12:51,919
Speaker 1: don't miss two field goals, they don't have two turnovers

2553
02:12:51,960 --> 02:12:53,920
Speaker 1: near the red zone. That's a forty to seven game

2554
02:12:54,000 --> 02:12:57,160
Speaker 1: on Sunday. But they didn't. But they didn't. They did

2555
02:12:57,240 --> 02:12:59,400
Speaker 1: not do it. They missed two easy throws in the

2556
02:12:59,520 --> 02:13:02,080
Speaker 1: end zone, they fumbled the ball away twice in the

2557
02:13:02,160 --> 02:13:06,360
