Speaker 1: At a Steve Tasker who has been all over the fields.

2
00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:13,840

Speaker 1: fighter for you, Steve a blimp. We're not even in

12
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:54,920
Speaker 1: We'll hear from defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier with their comments

13
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 1: on their respective signs of the ball and what is

14
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:02,280
Speaker 1: going to be a pretty large task this week in

15
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:06,039
Speaker 1: the form of the Los Angeles Rams. I got it, Brownie.

16
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 1: I don't know if I'm really start talking about the

17
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 1: Rams yet. I know, I think I'm with everybody else here.

18
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:12,959
Speaker 1: I think I'm just still a little bit hungover from

19
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 1: being drunk on the Bills yesterday. Okay, so I think

20
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:18,679
Speaker 1: we're all just a little bit happy. I mean you

21
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:22,480
Speaker 1: look everywhere. Everybody loves this team. Now, Josh Allen is

22
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 1: the best thing since sliced bread. The Bills are playing great.

23
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:32,840
Speaker 1: They beat the Dolphins with us the hobble defense. Steph

24
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:36,480
Speaker 1: Digs is everything we dreamed about. Josh Allen looks like

25
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 1: everything we hoped he would be, let alone what we

26
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 1: thought he might be. So we're all a little bit

27
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 1: drunk yesterday on that. So I might need a day.

28
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 1: You're still you're still drifting back towards the mean. Is

29
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 1: that what you're saying. Yeah, I'm I'm pumping the brakes

30
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 1: on my I'm starting to lay off the ulaid now

31
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 1: today a little bit. I mentioned this on Twitter and

32
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 1: gave you full credit because you mentioned it on Monday. Yeah,

33
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 1: the next four opponents for the Bills, at least when

34
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 1: you first mentioned this, we're seven and Oh the Raiders

00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 1: win last night in a game that maybe not a

36
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 1: lot of people picked them to beat the Saints. So

37
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 1: the next four opponents for the Bills are eight. No,

38
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 1: this is a little bit. This a little bit like

39
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:17,959
Speaker 1: that thing where you go your family, You have a

40
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:20,000

00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 1: up and you remember, like and I's like, oh my gosh,

Speaker 1: look great last night against this against the Yeah, we

49
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 1: gotta defense mates in place, We gotta we gotta get

50
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 1: it together. Man. We need to take a little vitamin C,

51
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:48,239
Speaker 1: get some orange juice, rehydrate, let's go. You know, we

52
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:50,680
Speaker 1: gotta get it together before the thing. Yeah. Get So

53
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 1: that's where we're at today. Yeah. I started taking a

54
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 1: look at the rams a little bit more so on

55
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 1: paper than on tape just yet. And I will get

56
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 1: to the tape eventually, probably either later today or early tomorrow.

57
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 1: And I don't know about you, but I think that

58
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 1: we're looking at an air it out game on Sunday

59
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 1: because I don't see either defense with the depth necessary

60
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 1: to neutralize all the passing weapons that each of these

61
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 1: respective offenses can line up out there on the field

62
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 1: isn't an amazing that more often than not across this league, Steve,

63
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 1: and we saw it in the draft this year. Receiver

64
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 1: depth went like four or five rounds deep in the

65
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 1: draft this year, and cornerback depth was supposed to be

66
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 1: a good Class two, but after he got passed round three,

67
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 1: it was like, I don't know if this corner can

68
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 1: do this. You know, guys had warts right after round three,

69
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 1: as you would expect to a certain extent at most positions,

70
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 1: but the receiver depth just kept going going on and

71
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 1: on and on and on. And now you've got NFL

72
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 1: rosters that are reflecting that based on the depth that

73
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 1: the draft has offered probably three of the last four

74
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 1: years at the position. And so now you line up

75
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:16,600
Speaker 1: every week and you're like, if you're a defensive coordinator

76
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 1: in this league, there's too many times you're you're putting

77
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 1: together your game plan going, well, we're gonna have to

78
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 1: figure out something different for this. We don't have the horses.

79
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 1: We hope they don't go here on when we're in

80
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 1: We don't have the horses, hope they don't do this

81
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:32,600
Speaker 1: when we're in this defense. Yeah, I got you, And

82
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 1: it's illustrated by the Bills. You know, Reggie Gilliam and

83
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:41,280
Speaker 1: Zach Not, Zach Moss, Gabriel Davis catched the touchdowns. You

84
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:42,720
Speaker 1: look around the league and I can see this too

85
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:47,040
Speaker 1: as a as a college athlete, you're kind of gravity.

86
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 1: Players watch the NFL and if they have real aspirations

87
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 1: to get there, and I'm real concrete dreams and they

88
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 1: got they got an avenue that they're following to get there.

89
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 1: They go to a Division one school or they take

90
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 1: the scholarship, and they're trying to work at it. You know,

91
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 1: everything they're trying to line up to get to the NFL.

92
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:07,479
Speaker 1: They are trying to find a position they want to

93
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 1: gravitate to a position that they can do it at.

94
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 1: Not everybody thinks they can be or want to be.

95
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 1: A quarterback is probably a lot of them don't throw

96
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 1: the football well enough whatever. But they're all on this

97
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 1: track and they and most guys aren't six five three thirties,

98
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 1: six six three sixty. They're not that, you know, they're not.

99
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 1: They don't have that. So genetically, they're predispision predisposed to

100
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 1: be one of the other positions safety, corner, linebacker, running back, whatever,

101
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:39,839
Speaker 1: tight end. Even so they gravitate to those positions. And

102
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:41,839
Speaker 1: now the position you really want to hang in there

103
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 1: with and you can make a name for yourself and

104
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:45,920
Speaker 1: be one of those guys you see on Sundays wide

105
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 1: receiver and not an easy position to play that, No,

106
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:54,280
Speaker 1: it's not. There's a but listen, if guys look at me,

107
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:57,719
Speaker 1: I mean right, they're looking at guys like they're looking

108
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 1: at guys like Wes Welker and Julian Edelman and guys

109
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:04,239
Speaker 1: like that. It's like Cooper Cup, Cooper Cup, Like, dude,

110
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:08,160
Speaker 1: Adam Thielen, come on, I can do that, right, You're

111
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:10,160
Speaker 1: thinking as a college kid, like, come on, I've seen

112
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:14,600
Speaker 1: that guy in person. I'm there. Let's go. So all

113
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 1: of a sudden, every definsion one school's got like nine

114
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 1: guys that are have been the best athlete they've ever seen,

115
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 1: you know, and they're they're trying to play that position.

116
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 1: And let's think about this too. Just about every college

117
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 1: offense is a spread system. You need ten receivers on

118
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:34,320
Speaker 1: your roster to have enough legs to run all those

119
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:36,359
Speaker 1: routes and to practice and to do all that, and

120
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:39,359
Speaker 1: you've got guys that sneak in the door as a

121
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:44,720
Speaker 1: walk on because because they're you know, because their family situation,

122
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 1: because they didn't get recruited, or they were on a

123
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 1: team with a bunch of other good guys whatever, like

124
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:54,480
Speaker 1: and like Robert Wood, right, I mean that's a kid

125
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:58,719
Speaker 1: who second rounder for the Bills, but he's like, who's it? Well,

126
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 1: I killed it at USC. I mean in college he

127
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 1: gets the pros and very quietly is effective. They loved

128
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 1: him here. I loved him. He's a great good to

129
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 1: see him again. Yeah, And I'm happy for him. He

130
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 1: just got a big extension to him. The only reason

131
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 1: he's gone is because and this and this is this

132
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 1: flies for me. I'm all about this. He wanted to

133
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 1: be on a whiske. He want to be home. Well, yeah,

134
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 1: he wanted to. I mean, he's playing in his backyard.

135
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 1: But it doesn't want much better than that. And that's

136
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 1: I totally get that. I'm not insulted by that at all.

137
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 1: And well, Lonny was evident to me that the Bills

138
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 1: were you know, and this is previous regimes we're going

139
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 1: back to now, he said Sammy Watkins on the mind. Well,

140
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 1: not only that, but I think they quickly came to

141
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 1: the realization that the value they had on Robert Woods

142
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 1: was not going to come close to what he was

143
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 1: going to get on the open market. And so I

144
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 1: think they resigned themselves to knowing that, hey, you know,

145
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 1: we'll present him with an offer, but in all likelihood

146
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 1: he's going to get big money on the open market.

147
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 1: And he did the same thing with Chris Hogan back

148
00:07:57,640 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 1: in the day when he went to New England and

149
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 1: well that was a rest to free agent thing where

150
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 1: they matched the offer and signed him to an offer. Yeah,

151
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 1: that was like and that was like a what a

152
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 1: four million dollars five million dollars deal and the Bills

153
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 1: got nothing for him because he was an undrafted player.

154
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:18,239
Speaker 1: Rum or, Yeah, they didn't get anything. So anyway, up building,

155
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 1: but yeah, so so happy. So to sum up this

156
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:22,760
Speaker 1: tangent that Steve and I got off on, although I

157
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 1: think it's interesting every kid dollars to donuts, it is

158
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 1: it is hard for NFL clubs to have enough cornerbacks

159
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:35,720
Speaker 1: on their roster that are of a quality necessary to

160
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 1: cover all of these receiving weapons that we are seeing

161
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:42,679
Speaker 1: flooding the field every week in the NFL. Now, that's

162
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:45,679
Speaker 1: great for television and for on field product for the

163
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 1: NFL because it's high flying, there's a lot of scoring.

164
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:51,520
Speaker 1: I mean, Week one, I think it was the highest

165
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:54,679
Speaker 1: scoring week for the opening week of a season in

166
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:57,320
Speaker 1: like twenty one years or something, and it was like

167
00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 1: the second all time. So I just look at it

168
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:03,320
Speaker 1: and say, hey, you know, I don't know if it's

169
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 1: gonna change anytime soon. Yeah, how many? How many think

170
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:09,839
Speaker 1: about this? And you mentioned the appeal of the wide

171
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:12,840
Speaker 1: receiver position making plays, you know, doing dances in the

172
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:16,320
Speaker 1: end zone. How many guys are signing up to be

173
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 1: the guy to stop those people? Yea, here I go.

174
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:22,439
Speaker 1: I gotta play the whole game in reverse. Think of

175
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 1: what think about um, the way it works, and how

176
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:30,200
Speaker 1: easy it is. All. You know, everybody plays catch, but

177
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:32,199
Speaker 1: here's the every kid who can run, who's an athlete there,

178
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 1: they're out there playing. They want they want the ball.

179
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 1: They want to throw me the ball. Right. Also, you

180
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:44,679
Speaker 1: can't just play dB unless you've got two other guys

181
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:47,440
Speaker 1: to practice with. At least you gotta have a quarterback

182
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 1: and a receiver to go against a receiver. You don't

183
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 1: need that, Oh he needs one guy. Just throw me

184
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:53,080
Speaker 1: the ball. I'm gonna rin some routes or I gonna

185
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 1: do this, DB's what are you gonna do? Run around

186
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 1: come backpedal around cones. I mean, it's so it's so

187
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:03,320
Speaker 1: different a cult too, and I'm telling you that it's

188
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:05,680
Speaker 1: the way it works. These guys go out in the

189
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 1: yard or wherever they go out to these training facilities.

190
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:09,839
Speaker 1: They can train and do all that, But if you're

191
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 1: a dB, you've got to have somebody to compete against. Receiver.

192
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 1: You can run against air, Yeah, dbs, you can't do that.

193
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 1: It's and it's just that much harder. Your whole job

194
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 1: mirror mirroring the guy you're covering, right, And and then

195
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 1: there's always and we used to joke about it, dbs

196
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 1: or wide receivers who can't catch you know they that's

197
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 1: why they You know what, you're a great athlete. You

198
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 1: know what, We're gonna get you on the other side

199
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 1: of the ball because we're not gonna throw it to

200
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 1: you because you can't catch it. So you can knock

201
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 1: it down over here. You can knock it down over

202
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 1: here and stay with all the receivers, and if you

203
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 1: happen to catch it, we'll let you run with it. Yes,

204
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:46,959
Speaker 1: if you happen to catch it. You're a hero. Just

205
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 1: to catch one, right, Just get one. If you get

206
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 1: one catch a game, you are a hero. Right, That's it.

207
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:56,560
Speaker 1: So I think that's part of the reason why we've

208
00:10:56,559 --> 00:11:00,160
Speaker 1: got such a glut of receivers and teams are scrambling

209
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:03,559
Speaker 1: to have the corner not scrambling, teams are finding it

210
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:07,200
Speaker 1: difficult to have the necessary cornerback depth to shut these

211
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:09,800
Speaker 1: offenses down. And I mean, you look at this Rams

212
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:12,559
Speaker 1: team and you say, Okay, they have Robert Woods, they

213
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 1: have Cooper Cup, They've got the Josh Reynolds kid, who's

214
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:17,960
Speaker 1: like six foot four, higby the tight end to at

215
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 1: three touchdowns last week, and then they got this rookie kid,

216
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 1: Van Jefferson. And I'm just going to tell you this

217
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:28,960
Speaker 1: right now. I'm at the Senior Bowl in January and

218
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 1: I'm watching the receiving group. Those were the days being

219
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:33,840
Speaker 1: able to travel. Well. This is before the Digs. This

220
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:36,679
Speaker 1: is two months before the Digs trade, and the Bills

221
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:38,720
Speaker 1: need a wide receiver. So I'm trying to pay attention

222
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 1: to these guys. See who's got the goods, you know,

223
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 1: who can run routes, who's precise, you know, this kind

224
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 1: of thing. Van Jefferson jumped out like a sore thumb,

225
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:52,080
Speaker 1: like so far in away, more polished than everybody else

226
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 1: that was there. And I happened to be sitting next

227
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 1: to Chad Hall, the Bills receivers coach, and I was,

228
00:11:58,040 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 1: you know, leaving him alone, letting him do his thing.

229
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 1: You know, it's that's not my place to kind of

230
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 1: interject or whatever. You don't want to be fanboy. But

231
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:08,199
Speaker 1: I'm watching Van Jefferson. He's five feet away from me.

232
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 1: He's watching Van Jefferson, and I'm looking at him and

233
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 1: his reactions as he's watching him, He's like, WHOA. I

234
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:19,080
Speaker 1: was like, not bad, huh. He's like, he's the best

235
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:21,960
Speaker 1: guy in the field right now, and um, and the

236
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 1: Rams got him. But that is Sean Jefferson's son, the

237
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 1: former NFL receiver, And there is a reason he's as

238
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 1: polished as he is because he learned from a guy.

239
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:35,200
Speaker 1: Jefferson wide receiver. Which who do he played for late

240
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:36,960
Speaker 1: in his career. He played for the Patriots, but he

241
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:43,760
Speaker 1: played for the Chargers. Tall receiver Sean Jefferson. Yeah, yeah,

242
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:49,680
Speaker 1: so NFL bloodlines and the guy's making place. So um,

243
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:51,720
Speaker 1: he's not a featured part of their offense. But he's

244
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 1: an example of how deep the depth runs in the

245
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:59,200
Speaker 1: Rams receiving corps. So they are beat up at running back.

246
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 1: But there's and and Oh, by the way, Steve, everybody

247
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 1: thinks this Rams offense is all about throwing the football

248
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:07,959
Speaker 1: all over the yard. This team's third in the league.

249
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:12,080
Speaker 1: And rushing, Yeah, they're averaging thirty yards on the ground

250
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 1: a game. Yeah, they mix it up and the Bills

251
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:16,959
Speaker 1: kind of like the Bills in the nineties. You know,

252
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:20,080
Speaker 1: everybody thought it was this high flying passing game. There's

253
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:23,199
Speaker 1: an MVP in the backfield in case you didn't notice this.

254
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 1: This game is gonna be I think it's gonna be

255
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 1: a really good game, and a son of some of

256
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:30,480
Speaker 1: it is going to depend on how whether Edmonds and

257
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 1: Milano can get back on the field. I mean, that's

258
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:35,720
Speaker 1: that's got to be a paramount importance. If they can

259
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 1: get on the field, and Thick can get up to

260
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 1: be one hundred percent when they get there, that will help.

261
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:47,440
Speaker 1: But this Rams team, both offensively and defensively, is has

262
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 1: got some challenges. Jayden Ramsey and and of course Aaron

263
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 1: Donald upfront. You watch Aaron Donald, he is he plays

264
00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:00,839
Speaker 1: with such leverage defensive tasks six feet. That's why he's

265
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:03,960
Speaker 1: not he's not an enormous guy. He plays with such

266
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:06,199
Speaker 1: leverage he gets done it. He can lift offensive line

267
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:09,440
Speaker 1: averaging power and then slip underneath him. He can lift him.

268
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:11,760
Speaker 1: And you can understand what happens if you get lifted

269
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:15,480
Speaker 1: as a as are already going backwards. You got you.

270
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:17,840
Speaker 1: The first thing you want to do is anchor, is

271
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 1: get yourself back on the ground so you can get

272
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:22,720
Speaker 1: a base. And once you start to settle down, he's

273
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:25,880
Speaker 1: already hits you again. He's pulled you. He's you're trying

274
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 1: to come down. He lets your momentum come back down,

275
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:31,080
Speaker 1: pulls you down and gets around you. He is um

276
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 1: he and he plays with the same kind of intensity

277
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 1: and high energy like at Oliver. You know, he's one

278
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:41,560
Speaker 1: of those guys, these guys that can outrun every big

279
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 1: guy on the field and some of the smaller guys too,

280
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:46,600
Speaker 1: and they cover a lot of ground very quickly, but

281
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 1: they still have this explosive power that they can get

282
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:52,080
Speaker 1: these three hundred pounders off balance and get around him.

283
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 1: He's and he's got and plus you hear about it

284
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 1: all the time, and I couldn't tell you as a

285
00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 1: as a guy like me, I couldn't tell what it is.

286
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 1: But the technique is perfect, which means you know the

287
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 1: offensive lineman. You just need to help with a guy

288
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:13,760
Speaker 1: like that, and it's He's an impressive player, no question

289
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:15,520
Speaker 1: about a three time defensive Player of the Year, and

290
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 1: he deserves Yeah, he's pretty good. Yeah, and he gave

291
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 1: Dallas fits in Week one. I watched a good amount

292
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 1: of that game. I have not watched the game against

293
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:28,200
Speaker 1: the Eagles, but when you think about the Rams and

294
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 1: what they've done the first two weeks, they took advantage

295
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 1: of a Dallas secondary that's retooling itself after losing Byron

296
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 1: Jones and free agency to Miami, and last week they're

297
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 1: going against an Eagles team, an Eagles defense whose weakness

298
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 1: is probably their secondary. So you can understand why they've

299
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 1: reacted up points in much the same way that the

300
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 1: Bills have. The rubber meets the road this week for

301
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:57,280
Speaker 1: both of these teams, as as the caliber of opponent

302
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:01,080
Speaker 1: is markedly raised for both teams this week, and that's

303
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:03,600
Speaker 1: why I think it's going to be a very entertaining game.

304
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:06,800
Speaker 1: But on the show today, coming up at one, twenty five,

305
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:11,040
Speaker 1: we will have our weekly visit from Good Morning Football's

306
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 1: Kyle Brandt, who had an awful lot to say this

307
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 1: morning on their program about Josh Allen. It's twofold, so

308
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:21,720
Speaker 1: we will talk to him about that, and we also

309
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:24,240
Speaker 1: will hear, as we mentioned, from Brian Dable and from

310
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:26,760
Speaker 1: Leslie Frasier, the two coordinators for the Bills, not only

311
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 1: on what transpired on Sunday against the Dolphins, but somewhat

312
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:34,440
Speaker 1: of a look ahead to Week three and the Rams

313
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 1: and the monumental task they believe it to be. And

314
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:41,400
Speaker 1: we'll also get into some lunch. We got some stuff

315
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:43,840
Speaker 1: on the menu in terms of what's for lunch, and

316
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 1: we'll also hear a little bit from coach McDermott as well,

317
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 1: who addressed the media yesterday. Did you put out the

318
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 1: Twitter poll yet? We talk about that. Yes, we do

319
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:55,560
Speaker 1: have the Twitter poll as well, which not surprisingly involves

320
00:16:55,680 --> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, And obviously he's off to a an unbelievable start.

321
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:03,280
Speaker 1: I mean, he's leading the league in passing I don't

322
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 1: think anybody on the planet would have picked him first

323
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 1: if you said which quarterback is going to be leading

324
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:12,160
Speaker 1: the league in passing yards? After two weeks. I don't

325
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:15,240
Speaker 1: think anybody, even the biggest Josh Allen fan, would have

326
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 1: picked that or picked him. But that is the case,

327
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 1: and everybody's over the moon about it here in Western

328
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:24,400
Speaker 1: New York and everywhere else that a Bill's fan may reside.

329
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:27,920
Speaker 1: But the question we're asking here on the Twitter poll

330
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:31,120
Speaker 1: today is what you believe to be the biggest difference

331
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:33,879
Speaker 1: in Josh Allen's game this year? And your choices are

332
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:41,000
Speaker 1: ball location, decision making, confidence, or something else. And ball

333
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:46,200
Speaker 1: location is winning right now, and understandably so, with more

334
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:50,960
Speaker 1: than forty percent of the vote. And it's a byproduct

335
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:53,440
Speaker 1: of what everybody looks at the stat sheet and sees

336
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 1: as a completion percentage is sixty eight and a half percent. Yeah,

337
00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 1: I noticed in the game the other day and I

338
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:01,159
Speaker 1: was we were on seventy or sorry, Yeah, we were

339
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:05,560
Speaker 1: doing the ball the radio game on radio. At the

340
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 1: thing I called out and said, talked about when we

341
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:11,080
Speaker 1: were doing the broadcast. Was that all about the first

342
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:15,199
Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe ten throws, maybe all most of

343
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:19,280
Speaker 1: the throws he made on Sunday were touch throws, and

344
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 1: they were they were all on the money. He's putting

345
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 1: seven week one. Never the the over the deep over

346
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:25,600
Speaker 1: to Stefan Diggs. He had to throw it from the

347
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:28,240
Speaker 1: far hash and put air under it so Diggs could

348
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:30,199
Speaker 1: run under that ball. Yeah, and even the ones that

349
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:32,360
Speaker 1: and you know it was a you know week one,

350
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:35,080
Speaker 1: they didn't throw the football down the field too much

351
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:36,680
Speaker 1: and everything was and he was, you know, putting it

352
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 1: in the windows. But everything he threw on Sunday gets

353
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:41,679
Speaker 1: the dolphins, which is little arc, and it looked it

354
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:43,640
Speaker 1: was just effortless. I said it a couple of times.

355
00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 1: He's making it look easy. I even said one time

356
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:48,360
Speaker 1: it looked like Josh was playing half speed because he

357
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:51,160
Speaker 1: wasn't like you know how he gets those shoulders turned

358
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 1: and starts whipping that ball and then the fastball comes out.

359
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:58,480
Speaker 1: He was just looks so relaxed because all of this

360
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 1: ball came out of there, just came right out, fluttered out,

361
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:03,360
Speaker 1: I mean just tight spiral, but just arcd right into

362
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:09,080
Speaker 1: the The touch was unbelievable and it really gave his passes, uh,

363
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:11,080
Speaker 1: you know, a sense of being right on the money

364
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:12,520
Speaker 1: and a couple of you know, there's a couple of

365
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 1: websites out on the on the internet you can go

366
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 1: and they like Brian Balding or our friend of the show.

367
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:18,119
Speaker 1: He does a big breakdown of it, and he was

368
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:20,240
Speaker 1: all over said, man, this is these are great throws

369
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:22,200
Speaker 1: he made. Yeah, I don't know how you looked on

370
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:24,800
Speaker 1: it for two weeks now some people are saying, well,

371
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:27,480
Speaker 1: he hasn't really faced a pass rush each of the

372
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:29,160
Speaker 1: first two weeks, And that may be true. He hasn't

373
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:31,480
Speaker 1: faced a premier pass rusher, and he will this week

374
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:34,920
Speaker 1: in the form of Aaron Donald. And you know, Leonard

375
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:39,080
Speaker 1: Floyd's no slouch either for the Rams, but he made

376
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:42,280
Speaker 1: plays under pressure. When he was under pressure, his accuracy

377
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 1: did not drop off precipitously at all. If anything, it

378
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:47,800
Speaker 1: stayed the same. Um, how good he's supposed to play

379
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:52,440
Speaker 1: with against a bad defense, right, and no TDS. And

380
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 1: and I imagine that this red hot start that he's

381
00:19:56,119 --> 00:20:00,800
Speaker 1: off to will will wane somewhat as he plays better opponents.

382
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:03,760
Speaker 1: I mean, to complete seventy percent of your passes for

383
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:07,600
Speaker 1: sixteen games, I mean, that's that is rare, but that

384
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:10,439
Speaker 1: is rare air. So you know, I don't know if

385
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:13,400
Speaker 1: it's fair to expect that from him, But here's here's

386
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 1: the comparison. I make Steve, and I know you're not

387
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 1: going to be thrilled that I make a baseball reference.

388
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:21,960
Speaker 1: But Josh Allen came into the league as this flamethrowing

389
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 1: baseball reliever who's just got one hundred mile per hour

390
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:30,480
Speaker 1: gas but has one pitch, got about eight hours, got

391
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 1: one pitch. Now he's got a change up and a

392
00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:39,639
Speaker 1: slider and maybe a cutter, and he can paint the

393
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:42,880
Speaker 1: corners and and yeah, and he's and he's got location.

394
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 1: So I use that phrase, paint the corner. That was good,

395
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 1: thank you. That was good for a guy who hates baseball,

396
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 1: not bad. So I see it as a guy who

397
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:53,960
Speaker 1: has diversified what he has to work with. There's more

398
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:56,840
Speaker 1: tools in the box, and he's using all of them

399
00:20:56,920 --> 00:20:59,320
Speaker 1: right now. And it is a beautiful thing to watch.

400
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:01,880
Speaker 1: And I think that's why fans are as excited as

401
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:06,720
Speaker 1: they are. How much can it continue at this level?

402
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:08,360
Speaker 1: We'll just have to wait and see, but I think

403
00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 1: we're all hoping that it does, because if it does,

404
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:13,359
Speaker 1: this team is going to be supremely difficult to beat,

405
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:16,200
Speaker 1: even if they sustained some injuries on the defensive side

406
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:18,240
Speaker 1: of the ball. I know twenty eight points wasn't the

407
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 1: standard for the defense, and you know, they're kind of

408
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:22,320
Speaker 1: licking their wounds a little bit after not living up

409
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:27,800
Speaker 1: to their own standards. And it's probably a tougher task

410
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:30,800
Speaker 1: this week or that defense. And that's why tomorrow will

411
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:32,960
Speaker 1: be very important as we get the initial reports on

412
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:37,719
Speaker 1: the status of Tremaine Edmonds and Matt Milano and del

413
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:40,080
Speaker 1: Shan Phillips for that matter, who was a third linebacker

414
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:41,640
Speaker 1: that was out of the mix last week and plays

415
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:43,359
Speaker 1: a big role on special team. And I know it'll

416
00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:45,920
Speaker 1: be the defense will be better with Tremaine in there.

417
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:48,320
Speaker 1: But it's not like all of a sudden, if Tremaine

418
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 1: comes back, it's like, okay done. It ain't that easy.

419
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:55,360
Speaker 1: The Rams are gonna have a plan and you need

420
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:57,680
Speaker 1: your best players to come back. Even if Tremaine and

421
00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 1: Milano had played last week and the things winnings actually

422
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:02,200
Speaker 1: the same and all of that stuff, you still got

423
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:05,159
Speaker 1: this team coming in. It's not you just you'd love

424
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:09,800
Speaker 1: to have those guys healthy first and foremost, but just

425
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:12,119
Speaker 1: because they are, there's no guarantee that this game is

426
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:15,240
Speaker 1: gonna go exactly as planning for the Bills this year

427
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:18,240
Speaker 1: up against a team that has has got some guys,

428
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:21,960
Speaker 1: and it's I just you'd love to have those guys available,

429
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 1: no question, but just because they are available somehow, some way,

430
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:28,879
Speaker 1: and they practice all week and they I mean, I

431
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:30,800
Speaker 1: don't have no idea how that's going to turn out.

432
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:33,000
Speaker 1: So let's take an early look at the tweet sheet

433
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:35,159
Speaker 1: at one Bill's Live. So tweet us there if you

434
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:37,120
Speaker 1: have a comment, or call us eight oh three five

435
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:39,680
Speaker 1: fifty one eight eight five fifty two five fifty. What's

436
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:42,840
Speaker 1: the biggest difference in Josh Allen's game this year? From Dinah,

437
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:47,280
Speaker 1: she says, tough choice. As the tweet sheets brought to

438
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:50,200
Speaker 1: you by Corrigan Moving Systems, Thanks guys, I totally forgotten

439
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 1: blew right past that the official equipment moving company, the

440
00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. Dinah says, tough choice. Confidence has always seemed high.

441
00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:00,240
Speaker 1: Ball placement has been excellent the first two games games,

442
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 1: but I went with decision making. He seems much more

443
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:06,240
Speaker 1: likely to make the correct decision of which receiver is

444
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:10,399
Speaker 1: most open, when to take off on foot in an option,

445
00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:13,800
Speaker 1: and when to throw it away. Now, Steve, I know

446
00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:16,760
Speaker 1: you mentioned this yesterday. He even chose a good time

447
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:19,800
Speaker 1: to take the sack. You know you're trying to come

448
00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:22,240
Speaker 1: back in a game that you just fell behind. You

449
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:24,600
Speaker 1: know you're behind on the scoreboard, You'll want to make plays.

450
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:27,480
Speaker 1: And we remember in the playoff game, after he saw

451
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:30,359
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson lead his team all the way back to

452
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:33,639
Speaker 1: take the lead, Josh was getting a little squirrelly feeling

453
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:35,720
Speaker 1: like I gotta go do that, I gotta go do that.

454
00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:38,840
Speaker 1: I gotta go beat Deshaun Watson now, And some of

455
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:41,360
Speaker 1: his decisions got a little off script and a little haywire.

456
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:46,359
Speaker 1: And I think he learned from that because on Sunday,

457
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:50,360
Speaker 1: the game's on the line and he's not freaking out anymore. Right,

458
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:53,480
Speaker 1: he knew the pocket was collapsing, he still had nobody opened.

459
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:56,800
Speaker 1: Instead of forcing a ball, he takes a sack. You

460
00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:59,080
Speaker 1: still have the ball, and he got back close to

461
00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:01,080
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage. So not really a big loss

462
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:03,560
Speaker 1: on the play. Live for another down, make a play

463
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:05,560
Speaker 1: on the next play, and we know what happened. They

464
00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:10,040
Speaker 1: scored fourteen unanswered points. You know, Dolphins score a touchdown late,

465
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:12,119
Speaker 1: but they win the football game, and and that to

466
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:14,280
Speaker 1: me is the difference. So decision making is a very

467
00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:16,440
Speaker 1: good choice to make. I think that Dinah did right,

468
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:19,320
Speaker 1: you can make it. That's the reason they're on this

469
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:21,560
Speaker 1: Twitter poll there. All this stuff looks a little different.

470
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:24,000
Speaker 1: I said one of that we are trying to decide

471
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:26,000
Speaker 1: what the choices should be. I thought, you know, he's

472
00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:29,760
Speaker 1: more poised. Certainly his offensive line has given him more

473
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:33,120
Speaker 1: confidence is probably baked into that, absolutely, and maybe that's

474
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:36,960
Speaker 1: why confidence is you know, is on the choice list

475
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:41,960
Speaker 1: as well. But his offensive line and certainly the Dolphins

476
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:45,719
Speaker 1: are not the rams and pass rush ability. But if

477
00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:49,440
Speaker 1: you're gonna have time two years ago or last year,

478
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:54,440
Speaker 1: even at times Josh wouldn't have used it, he's pulling

479
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:56,199
Speaker 1: it day, he gets a little antsy, he's pulling it

480
00:24:56,240 --> 00:25:00,200
Speaker 1: down and running. He just looks much more comfort will

481
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:02,360
Speaker 1: certainly his offensive line, Mitch Morris and all those guys

482
00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:06,080
Speaker 1: up there, Spain, Cody Ford and of course Dion's Dawkins.

483
00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:10,400
Speaker 1: Winter's got a lot of time in at guard last week, Williams.

484
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:14,480
Speaker 1: They did an outstanding job. They've played really well in

485
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:19,800
Speaker 1: front of him these last two weeks. And if they

486
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:22,560
Speaker 1: continue to do that, while the sky's the limit, but

487
00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:24,960
Speaker 1: they're going to face some teams that can bring it

488
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:27,720
Speaker 1: even a little bit better than the Jets and the

489
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:30,480
Speaker 1: Dolphins can in the next coming week. So from Albert

490
00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 1: on the tweet sheet, I would say the biggest difference

491
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:35,320
Speaker 1: is the touch he is putting on throws, so that

492
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:39,960
Speaker 1: probably goes into ball location. Here the thing that I've noticed,

493
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:44,119
Speaker 1: and I was actually talking about this with Howard Simon

494
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:47,119
Speaker 1: and Jeremy White on the WGR Morning Show this morning

495
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:50,000
Speaker 1: because they were asking me about Josh's deep ball accuracy.

496
00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 1: Here's the difference, and tell me if you see it differently,

497
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:56,919
Speaker 1: Steve the difference for me with Josh's deep ball pass attempts. Okay,

498
00:25:57,040 --> 00:26:01,320
Speaker 1: last year, after that game against New England Week four,

499
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:03,960
Speaker 1: where he had turnovers and essentially cost them the game

500
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:08,320
Speaker 1: in a sixteen to ten final, the mantra from the

501
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:12,360
Speaker 1: coaching staff was, let's be smarter, don't turn the football over.

502
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:16,480
Speaker 1: I think it impacted how he threw deep balls for

503
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:19,480
Speaker 1: the rest of the season because what he was doing

504
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:22,639
Speaker 1: was he was throwing it out in front of everybody.

505
00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:25,640
Speaker 1: He's saying, I don't want to underthrow this deep ball

506
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:28,840
Speaker 1: and risk it getting picked because I can't have turnovers.

507
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:32,480
Speaker 1: I'm gonna lay it out there and if my receiver

508
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:35,800
Speaker 1: happens to be fast enough to run under it. Great,

509
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:39,000
Speaker 1: we make a big play. If not, the worst case

510
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:41,879
Speaker 1: scenario is an incompletion. And I think that was the

511
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:44,040
Speaker 1: approach he took on deep balls the rest of the

512
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:47,199
Speaker 1: season last year, and it's why he only completed twenty

513
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:49,359
Speaker 1: five percent of his passes that were over twenty air

514
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:53,959
Speaker 1: yards this year. What do we see Just go to

515
00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:56,280
Speaker 1: the John Brown touchdown on Sunday at the end of

516
00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 1: the game. He is putting a ball out there enable

517
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:02,680
Speaker 1: his receiver to make a play on the ball. He's

518
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:06,800
Speaker 1: trusting his receivers more. He's worrying about the turnover less

519
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:11,520
Speaker 1: and the fruits of that. Our big plays are being

520
00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:14,320
Speaker 1: made with three over forty yards. Last week, we spoke

521
00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:18,840
Speaker 1: to Jordan Palmer before the pandemic and he was working

522
00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:22,680
Speaker 1: with Josh and said that our mind frame in this

523
00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:25,160
Speaker 1: was throw the thing out there to a spot where

524
00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:27,400
Speaker 1: your guy can get to it. Just pick a spot

525
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:29,280
Speaker 1: and throw it out ahead of him, away from him.

526
00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:33,760
Speaker 1: Don't try and be precise. Let him adjust to your

527
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:37,040
Speaker 1: throw rather than you adjust to his route. It's a

528
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:39,000
Speaker 1: better way to look at it. And but that's a

529
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:42,320
Speaker 1: major shift in thinking on that well, you're right, though.

530
00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:46,840
Speaker 1: Last year he stopped throwing turnovers, but he also stopped

531
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:48,640
Speaker 1: having any kind of chance to complete some of those

532
00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:51,040
Speaker 1: long balls because he was just out throwing everybody. And

533
00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:54,679
Speaker 1: certainly it was a lesson that he learned, but he

534
00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:59,320
Speaker 1: didn't have the practice or the reps to overcoming in

535
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:01,440
Speaker 1: a way that would keep him effective in the long ball.

536
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:05,439
Speaker 1: So this year, obviously, with this game in Miami, he

537
00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:08,760
Speaker 1: was money all over the field, both short passes, intermediates

538
00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:12,960
Speaker 1: and long ball from Tiffany on the tweet sheet, definitely,

539
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:15,760
Speaker 1: his anticipation and ball location have stood out the most

540
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:17,920
Speaker 1: to me. So far. He's made some great ones this year.

541
00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:20,720
Speaker 1: The touchdown to Gabriel Davis stands out. It was a

542
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:23,000
Speaker 1: heck of a red zone throw. It's also a heck

543
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:25,480
Speaker 1: of a catch. Let's give the rookie some credit too,

544
00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:30,520
Speaker 1: because Gabriel Davis had to be fully extended number one

545
00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:33,600
Speaker 1: and number two. He knew because we talked to him

546
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:36,879
Speaker 1: after the game and Gabriel Davis basically said, I knew

547
00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:39,720
Speaker 1: my route was behind in terms of the timing of

548
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:41,800
Speaker 1: the play, so he knew he had to get some

549
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:44,520
Speaker 1: giddy up and then realized as the ball was being thrown.

550
00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:46,560
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to really lay out for this thing,

551
00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:49,880
Speaker 1: which to his credit, he did. And even though he

552
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:53,600
Speaker 1: laid out, he still only got grass a grasp of

553
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:56,440
Speaker 1: the back half of the football. And Steve can tell

554
00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:58,840
Speaker 1: you much better than I can how the degree of

555
00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:02,400
Speaker 1: difficulty goes up exponentially when the first thing you're getting

556
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:04,640
Speaker 1: your hands on is the back half of the football

557
00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:06,640
Speaker 1: with that kind of heat on it. Yeah, he got it,

558
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:09,400
Speaker 1: and Josh just Rode just missed the defensive back from

559
00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:12,840
Speaker 1: Mine's just miss getting a piece of it, and Gabe Davis.

560
00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:16,600
Speaker 1: But when you catch the back half of the ball,

561
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:19,280
Speaker 1: Steve just explain how it's that much harder because you're

562
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 1: catching the fat part of the ball first, right, not

563
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:24,840
Speaker 1: the point. It's a lot harder to secure that it

564
00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:27,040
Speaker 1: doesn't wedge into your hands. That's what I mean. It's

565
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:29,400
Speaker 1: a lot harder to catch, right, exactly. It's harder to catch.

566
00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:33,040
Speaker 1: And I know this too. The gloves they wear are

567
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:35,160
Speaker 1: state of the art and they work really well and

568
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:37,440
Speaker 1: make it makes catches like that possible, makes the Odell

569
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:41,400
Speaker 1: Beckham catches, Odell Beckham Junior catches possible, all that stuff.

570
00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:43,440
Speaker 1: But man, oh man, let me tell you something. Being

571
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:46,840
Speaker 1: laid out like that and pulling that in on the

572
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:48,640
Speaker 1: back half of the ball and then having the wearwithal

573
00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:51,120
Speaker 1: no one too. And in this day and age, you

574
00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:53,360
Speaker 1: gotta squeeze it. I mean, when you come down it's

575
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:55,920
Speaker 1: gonna it's gonna jar your you gotta squeeze it and

576
00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:58,120
Speaker 1: hold it. Even if it hits the great jurre it.

577
00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:00,560
Speaker 1: You got to secure it the catch and over when

578
00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:02,760
Speaker 1: you get your hands on it. And Gabe Davis did

579
00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:05,880
Speaker 1: an outstanding job on that catch. You know it was

580
00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:08,800
Speaker 1: it was off the page a little bit because Josh

581
00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:11,280
Speaker 1: had to have, you know, switched the hands, switched the

582
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:14,200
Speaker 1: ball with hands, you know, and shrug off his throwing arm,

583
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:17,640
Speaker 1: come back out, grab it again and then roll out

584
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:20,280
Speaker 1: and roll while he's rolling out and then sidearm that

585
00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:23,080
Speaker 1: thing passed the dB. That's a great play on both

586
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:26,880
Speaker 1: ends of it. The Bills are really showing all over

587
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:29,520
Speaker 1: the field. On offense, it's really showing up because it

588
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:31,880
Speaker 1: is a contrast more than it was a year ago

589
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:35,040
Speaker 1: as opposed to the defense. This offense in contrast to

590
00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:38,640
Speaker 1: what it was a year ago. They're scoring twenty nine

591
00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:44,000
Speaker 1: points a game on average. That that's ten points more

592
00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:46,480
Speaker 1: than they did a year nine and a half points

593
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:48,239
Speaker 1: more than they did a year ago. This you know,

594
00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:52,120
Speaker 1: they only scored thirty points, even close to thirty points,

595
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:54,560
Speaker 1: you know, a handful of times, only thirty twice. Yep.

596
00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:57,040
Speaker 1: It's I mean, they're just they look completely different, and

597
00:30:57,080 --> 00:30:59,000
Speaker 1: I don't know how long it's gonna last. I'm sure

598
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:01,800
Speaker 1: they're not going to score a thirty burger every week,

599
00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:04,480
Speaker 1: but they've got some weapons and they seem to be

600
00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:07,320
Speaker 1: hitting on all cylinders right now. And as we mentioned

601
00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:10,000
Speaker 1: before on this show, last year, eleven of the twelve

602
00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:13,960
Speaker 1: playoff teams besides the Bills averaged twenty six point six

603
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:17,280
Speaker 1: points per game. The Bills averaged nineteen point six. They

604
00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 1: were exactly a touchdown behind the other eleven playoff teams

605
00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:27,360
Speaker 1: average score. Um over it right now and will it?

606
00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:29,760
Speaker 1: Will it vacillate through the course of the season. I'm

607
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:32,800
Speaker 1: sure it will, But they're on the right track now.

608
00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:35,880
Speaker 1: You can actually be one of those contenders where they'll be.

609
00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:37,560
Speaker 1: I mean, if they can keep scoring this kind of

610
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:39,720
Speaker 1: points with are the defenses and play, they are going

611
00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:41,000
Speaker 1: to be one of those teams. They are going to

612
00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:43,040
Speaker 1: be one of those top teams in the conference and

613
00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:45,560
Speaker 1: in the in the playoff race. So yeah, if they

614
00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:47,680
Speaker 1: can keep this going they look they will be exactly

615
00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:49,840
Speaker 1: what they look like now. Right time to take a break,

616
00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:51,239
Speaker 1: but when Steve and I come back. More of your

617
00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:52,840
Speaker 1: thoughts on the tweet sheet. As we were asking you,

618
00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:55,160
Speaker 1: what's the biggest difference in Josh Allen's game this year?

619
00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:58,840
Speaker 1: Plenty of choices, or give us your own explanation as

620
00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:00,840
Speaker 1: to why Josh looks at this damn good because it

621
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:03,440
Speaker 1: is downright and press it. More are your thoughts or

622
00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:05,520
Speaker 1: call us at eight oh three oh five fifty let

623
00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:08,040
Speaker 1: us know what you think Josh's game. What's the biggest

624
00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:10,680
Speaker 1: difference in Josh's game? More are your thoughts? Next here

625
00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:12,960
Speaker 1: on One Bills Live presented by Kalida Health, This is

626
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:30,640
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill's Radio, Chris Brown, Steve Tasker, our number one

627
00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:34,080
Speaker 1: of a Tuesday edition of One Bills Live broadcasting from

628
00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:37,600
Speaker 1: the Seneca Studios here in Orchard Park. You know during

629
00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:40,040
Speaker 1: the break, I just stepped outside. It is a beautiful day, man.

630
00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:42,000
Speaker 1: I know you ran and got some lunch before the show.

631
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:44,160
Speaker 1: I had to. I forgot my luve. Is nice out there.

632
00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:46,920
Speaker 1: It is it's great. I got it this turst me

633
00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:52,000
Speaker 1: thinking I'm gonna have to leave early today before three, man,

634
00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:55,360
Speaker 1: no reason to just you know, we are asking you

635
00:32:56,120 --> 00:33:02,320
Speaker 1: at eight three what you feel is the biggest difference

636
00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:06,200
Speaker 1: that you've seen in Josh Allen's game this year, ball location,

637
00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:10,120
Speaker 1: decision making, confidence or something else. And we've had a

638
00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:13,240
Speaker 1: mixed bag, even though the vote has largely swayed towards

639
00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:18,960
Speaker 1: ball location. And I will say this ball location is

640
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:21,040
Speaker 1: a part of this, but I think we do have

641
00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:23,560
Speaker 1: to tip our head a little bit to the receivers

642
00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:26,680
Speaker 1: running these routes and the separation that they get on

643
00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:29,760
Speaker 1: a consistent basis. Steve Yes, Josh has to put it

644
00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:31,760
Speaker 1: in the right place. But I think when you get

645
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:37,520
Speaker 1: separation as quickly as John Brown'stefon Diggs and Cole Beasley

646
00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:41,719
Speaker 1: get on most of their routes, it only builds the

647
00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:45,560
Speaker 1: confidence of Josh to throw it with anticipation to put

648
00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:48,120
Speaker 1: it in a place where they can get yards after

649
00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:51,240
Speaker 1: the catch, which we've seen a lot of over these

650
00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:54,040
Speaker 1: first two weeks as well. The windows are bigger, That's

651
00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:57,400
Speaker 1: all I mean. Right, Steph Diggs is open open, and

652
00:33:57,440 --> 00:34:00,200
Speaker 1: so is John Brown. He's opened, Cole Beasley, they're open,

653
00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:02,840
Speaker 1: and how Cole Beasley and John Brown were open last year,

654
00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:06,760
Speaker 1: but they they're like we thought they would, they're more open. Yeah,

655
00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:10,160
Speaker 1: and then you got Gabe Davis, he's running open. It's

656
00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:12,880
Speaker 1: and then I'll tell you what the catch and run

657
00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:17,880
Speaker 1: that Dawson Knox made the other day, there was nobody

658
00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:19,799
Speaker 1: on Yeah, I didn't see that one. Yeah I did,

659
00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:24,319
Speaker 1: and I know nobody did in Buffalo. He fumbled it

660
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:25,960
Speaker 1: at the end of it. But I'm telling you what,

661
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:27,440
Speaker 1: that was a big play. It was a thirty eight

662
00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:30,560
Speaker 1: yard play and it was a four yard pass and

663
00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:36,920
Speaker 1: they just absolutely lost him. And so Josh has got

664
00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:39,799
Speaker 1: these throws he's been making he's been and then not

665
00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:43,440
Speaker 1: only that too, he's also fitted in some tell windows,

666
00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:46,719
Speaker 1: tight windows, and which speaks to the confidence thing. Well yeah,

667
00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:49,640
Speaker 1: but it also speaks to his ability to now have

668
00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:54,120
Speaker 1: premier ball location. And let's go back about a month

669
00:34:54,160 --> 00:35:00,960
Speaker 1: ago when Brian Dable basically said, we're in practice the

670
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:04,399
Speaker 1: other day and Josh is trying to put it on

671
00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:08,279
Speaker 1: this route on the receiver's front shoulder, knowing that the

672
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:11,239
Speaker 1: corner is going to be in trail technique or whatever.

673
00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:16,239
Speaker 1: He's playing on a crosser and he didn't put it

674
00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:18,680
Speaker 1: on his front shoulder. And the first thing he says

675
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:21,280
Speaker 1: is we're running it again. I want to run it again.

676
00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:24,240
Speaker 1: Why because he wants to cut it that fine, because

677
00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:26,399
Speaker 1: he knows the difference between putting it on his back

678
00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:29,720
Speaker 1: shoulder and his front shoulder is probably fixed fifteen yards

679
00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:34,200
Speaker 1: after the catch. So when you've got a quarterback that

680
00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:37,919
Speaker 1: is dedicated to being that precise and wants to get

681
00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:41,600
Speaker 1: it right, you see what the results are now here

682
00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:43,759
Speaker 1: through these first two weeks because he's putting it in

683
00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:47,560
Speaker 1: those kinds of locations so the receivers can make bigger

684
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:51,360
Speaker 1: plays after they pull the ball in. He was and

685
00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:53,400
Speaker 1: I know that it sounded like we were positive putting

686
00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:55,520
Speaker 1: positive spin on it and stuff that when he was

687
00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:57,279
Speaker 1: struggling to complete. But he's you know, he took a

688
00:35:57,280 --> 00:35:59,440
Speaker 1: big step forward last year, got to fifty eight percent.

689
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:03,040
Speaker 1: All that we we all saw that. And but every

690
00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:05,040
Speaker 1: so often there were a lot of balls that he

691
00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:07,360
Speaker 1: Josh threw that shoot that were very they were great.

692
00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:09,839
Speaker 1: He threw a lot of really nice passes last year.

693
00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:12,759
Speaker 1: And of course most of us, as Bills fans, know

694
00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:14,560
Speaker 1: that you got to go to war when you say, hey,

695
00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:17,359
Speaker 1: he had a good day, because all the haters come

696
00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:19,000
Speaker 1: out and they say, what about this throw? What about

697
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:21,120
Speaker 1: that throw? Look? How hah, look at that throw. Your

698
00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:25,320
Speaker 1: guy's a bum here guy, you guys at whatever. Now,

699
00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:30,160
Speaker 1: there's just more of those great throws, a ton of them.

700
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:34,360
Speaker 1: And I made this observation on Sunday during the broadcast

701
00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:37,560
Speaker 1: as well. I remember on Week one both throws he

702
00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:39,440
Speaker 1: missed in the end zone, one to Dawson Knox and

703
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:42,719
Speaker 1: the other one too John Brown Diggs over the top

704
00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:44,680
Speaker 1: of their heads, right and and well, no Diggs, he

705
00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:46,600
Speaker 1: kind of forced it in there and the safety came over,

706
00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:48,360
Speaker 1: made a nice play. No, No No, I'm talking about the

707
00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:50,719
Speaker 1: Tonnel end zone, one of the end zones, and going

708
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:52,960
Speaker 1: one was no, they were both in the scoreboard. Okay,

709
00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:54,600
Speaker 1: so I'm thinking of a different play. He's rolling to

710
00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:56,799
Speaker 1: his left both times. I remember the John Brown play.

711
00:36:56,920 --> 00:36:59,440
Speaker 1: All right, John Brown play. And then earlier on there

712
00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:01,880
Speaker 1: was another one when Steph Diggs was in the corner

713
00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:03,400
Speaker 1: front corner of the end zone with two guys on

714
00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:07,040
Speaker 1: because he points to Dawson Knox George hmmy, he's wide open,

715
00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:11,000
Speaker 1: and Josh sailed it. Again. That was the first one,

716
00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:12,600
Speaker 1: and then that John Brownen he sailed as well, and

717
00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:14,840
Speaker 1: that was the big mean. Everybody was like laughing, like,

718
00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:17,680
Speaker 1: your guy hasn't changed. He stinks, did you see you? Completely?

719
00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:21,800
Speaker 1: Almost seventy two percent Sunday against that was against the

720
00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:25,440
Speaker 1: Jets Sunday against the Dolphins. Did the same thing on

721
00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:28,640
Speaker 1: Dawson Knox again when he's out in the field, but

722
00:37:28,719 --> 00:37:31,040
Speaker 1: he was rolling to his left, and it was the

723
00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:33,839
Speaker 1: exact same throw all three times, rolling to his left,

724
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:37,520
Speaker 1: and he sailed it both all three times. So and

725
00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:40,439
Speaker 1: I said something on the on the air about I'll

726
00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:42,680
Speaker 1: tell you this, here's what he's gonna be doing in

727
00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:44,600
Speaker 1: practice all week. He's gonna be rolling to his left

728
00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:46,359
Speaker 1: and see if he can hit that hit that throw

729
00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:49,839
Speaker 1: because it's all a tech it's a technique issue. It's

730
00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:52,640
Speaker 1: all a tech I get your hips square right. Whatever

731
00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:55,600
Speaker 1: he's not doing, and he's probably got he's probably got

732
00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:58,959
Speaker 1: Jordan Palmer on the on the horn saying, hey, what's

733
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:01,160
Speaker 1: going on, and Jordan's well, listen, here's what you gotta do.

734
00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:02,719
Speaker 1: And I'll talk about it. And by the way, Jordan

735
00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:07,720
Speaker 1: Palmer's coming on the show tomorrow. Nice. So that's something

736
00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:10,799
Speaker 1: that that is a technical issue that you can work

737
00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:14,759
Speaker 1: and fix easily, you know, just think, just run some

738
00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:19,040
Speaker 1: reps and do it. So his accuracy problems and if

739
00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:22,640
Speaker 1: you want to call him that, they've largely in the

740
00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:25,160
Speaker 1: first two weeks of the season have disappeared. Yeah, they've

741
00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:27,600
Speaker 1: just gone. Let's let's go to the phones. At eight

742
00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:30,799
Speaker 1: o three five fifty Tim in depute, Tim, what do

743
00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:33,759
Speaker 1: you have for us? Thanks for joining us. He took

744
00:38:33,760 --> 00:38:35,279
Speaker 1: a punch because I was going to say it was

745
00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:39,239
Speaker 1: all about the receiver separation, and it was early. That

746
00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:42,239
Speaker 1: was evident all over the peel. When you have receivers

747
00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:45,480
Speaker 1: running wide open, which we haven't had in a long

748
00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:48,520
Speaker 1: long time, makes a big difference for the for the

749
00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:53,160
Speaker 1: quarterback to throw with accuracy rather than with power. And

750
00:38:53,880 --> 00:38:57,360
Speaker 1: Josh really took advantage of them using touch on a

751
00:38:57,360 --> 00:39:00,319
Speaker 1: lot of those throws that in the past he would

752
00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:02,520
Speaker 1: have just whipped it in there because they wouldn't have

753
00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:09,160
Speaker 1: had the separation. So receivers and great job I are

754
00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:13,759
Speaker 1: offensively and given Josh the opportunity to move around a

755
00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:16,719
Speaker 1: little bit in the pocket and still have time to

756
00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:20,000
Speaker 1: look down the field, and that was a huge difference

757
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:23,279
Speaker 1: in his game the last two games, right, and you

758
00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:25,359
Speaker 1: know he's got an off speed pitch now, I mean,

759
00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:28,759
Speaker 1: let's be honest, it's not just the fireball coming out

760
00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:31,279
Speaker 1: of the cannon. He's got an off speed pitch. I mean,

761
00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:34,920
Speaker 1: he's demonstrated he's got the ability to make touch throws,

762
00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:39,040
Speaker 1: throw with anticipation, putting air under the ball instead of

763
00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:43,440
Speaker 1: firing lasers in. Is he still gonna miss now and then? Yeah?

764
00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:46,000
Speaker 1: But so is every quarterback in the NFL. There aren't

765
00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:48,759
Speaker 1: too many right now with seventy percent completion percentage through

766
00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:51,000
Speaker 1: the first two weeks, but he's one of them. And

767
00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:54,480
Speaker 1: he's been a completely different quarterback so far this year,

768
00:39:54,719 --> 00:39:58,640
Speaker 1: and that I think all comes down to having receivers

769
00:39:58,680 --> 00:40:02,600
Speaker 1: that can get that separation and give them the options early. Yeah,

770
00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:04,680
Speaker 1: all right, Tim, thanks for the call. We appreciate it.

771
00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:07,000
Speaker 1: Eight three five fifty. If you want to get on

772
00:40:07,040 --> 00:40:10,240
Speaker 1: board with us, we do have to step aside here quickly.

773
00:40:10,280 --> 00:40:12,279
Speaker 1: But Dave and Rochester hang on. We'll get to you

774
00:40:12,320 --> 00:40:15,080
Speaker 1: in the next segment here as we talk about the

775
00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:18,440
Speaker 1: biggest difference you see in Josh Allen's game, the choices

776
00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:20,320
Speaker 1: are there for you at One Builds Live on Twitter,

Speaker 1: Chris Brown, Steve Tasker, one Bills Live. As we are

781
00:40:44,160 --> 00:40:47,400
Speaker 1: closing up our number one of the program and talking

782
00:40:47,520 --> 00:40:51,160
Speaker 1: Josh Allen and the biggest improvement you've seen in his

783
00:40:51,239 --> 00:40:53,680
Speaker 1: personal game. Hit us up on Twitter at one Bills Live.

784
00:40:53,760 --> 00:40:56,719
Speaker 1: Let us know what your take is on that, or

785
00:40:56,760 --> 00:40:59,680
Speaker 1: give us a call at eight oh three five fifty,

786
00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:02,400
Speaker 1: just like Dave and Rochester did. So Dave, what do

787
00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:05,400
Speaker 1: you have for us here? Thanks for joining us, Alliight,

788
00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:10,080
Speaker 1: Chris and Steve, how you doing it for me? I mean,

789
00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:13,120
Speaker 1: obviously I agree with everybody about the accuracy and the touch,

790
00:41:14,719 --> 00:41:17,640
Speaker 1: but when you think about all the skilled positions, or

791
00:41:17,680 --> 00:41:20,680
Speaker 1: any position on that field, the one that encompasses the

792
00:41:20,719 --> 00:41:29,000
Speaker 1: most mental awareness and knowledge base is the quarterback. To me,

793
00:41:30,239 --> 00:41:36,480
Speaker 1: having no tas, no real training camp, well, I mean preseason.

794
00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:40,480
Speaker 1: I think what Josh did in the offseason with a

795
00:41:40,520 --> 00:41:47,160
Speaker 1: new offense, new players, putting in the effort and knowing

796
00:41:47,239 --> 00:41:50,840
Speaker 1: his playbook has made a world of difference on knowing

797
00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:54,040
Speaker 1: where he's going with the ball, the packages he has

798
00:41:54,239 --> 00:41:58,520
Speaker 1: with him, what he's looking at, and he is crisp

799
00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:04,600
Speaker 1: along with the accuracy which complements his decision making. I

800
00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:09,760
Speaker 1: don't know what you mean by new offense, but yeah,

801
00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:11,759
Speaker 1: the fact that he didn't get a rep this with

802
00:42:12,120 --> 00:42:14,160
Speaker 1: the players or any of this stuff in the preseason,

803
00:42:14,160 --> 00:42:16,040
Speaker 1: all that certainly was a factor. But they had a

804
00:42:16,040 --> 00:42:17,759
Speaker 1: lot of things going for him coming in. He had

805
00:42:17,800 --> 00:42:20,680
Speaker 1: two years in this offense coming into this season, so

806
00:42:21,160 --> 00:42:25,359
Speaker 1: it was actually mostly the new players catching up with him,

807
00:42:25,960 --> 00:42:28,040
Speaker 1: plus him going further down the road. But I get

808
00:42:28,040 --> 00:42:30,000
Speaker 1: what you mean. You're right. I mean his confidence in

809
00:42:30,080 --> 00:42:32,000
Speaker 1: that what he's doing and what he's looking at is

810
00:42:32,040 --> 00:42:36,319
Speaker 1: obviously knowing where with that ball right. His mental processing

811
00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:41,000
Speaker 1: is so much faster now than it was even last year.

812
00:42:41,520 --> 00:42:43,960
Speaker 1: It's helping him get the ball out quicker now. He's

813
00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:45,560
Speaker 1: had a lot of time to throw each of these

814
00:42:45,560 --> 00:42:48,080
Speaker 1: first two weeks too, because the protection has been outstanding.

815
00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:50,520
Speaker 1: There really hasn't been a premier bend the edge pass

816
00:42:50,600 --> 00:42:52,520
Speaker 1: rusher that he's faced in the first two weeks. That

817
00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:55,680
Speaker 1: will change, obviously with Aaron Donald this week, where they're

818
00:42:55,680 --> 00:42:57,719
Speaker 1: moving around all over the formation. I mean, he could

819
00:42:57,800 --> 00:43:00,800
Speaker 1: line up against anybody and he's a problem for anybody,

820
00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:02,600
Speaker 1: and he's a guy that they're going to have to

821
00:43:02,640 --> 00:43:05,000
Speaker 1: account for it with more than one human being. So

822
00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:08,799
Speaker 1: that will be a test to his internal clock this

823
00:43:08,840 --> 00:43:11,200
Speaker 1: week that he hasn't seen yet this season. So we'll

824
00:43:11,239 --> 00:43:14,200
Speaker 1: see how that plays out. But I will say this.

825
00:43:16,320 --> 00:43:19,080
Speaker 1: I remember when Josh was made available on a Zoom call,

826
00:43:19,200 --> 00:43:22,360
Speaker 1: probably about two weeks after he had those South Florida

827
00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:25,600
Speaker 1: workouts with the balance of the offensive skill position players,

828
00:43:26,200 --> 00:43:29,200
Speaker 1: and we asked him how things went down there over

829
00:43:29,239 --> 00:43:31,600
Speaker 1: the course of two days. And you know, Davis Webb

830
00:43:31,680 --> 00:43:34,360
Speaker 1: was big on putting together practice scripts for the offense

831
00:43:34,400 --> 00:43:38,040
Speaker 1: and all of this stuff, and Josh said, flat out,

832
00:43:39,120 --> 00:43:41,600
Speaker 1: this is the best I've ever thrown the ball. He

833
00:43:41,719 --> 00:43:44,080
Speaker 1: said that in I want to say it was late June.

834
00:43:44,960 --> 00:43:46,960
Speaker 1: And so you know, you take that with a grain

835
00:43:46,960 --> 00:43:49,440
Speaker 1: assault and say, Okay, you know there's no defense on

836
00:43:49,480 --> 00:43:52,360
Speaker 1: the field. You know, maybe there isn't the urgency and

837
00:43:52,560 --> 00:43:56,839
Speaker 1: intense timing and intensity of play that you even get

838
00:43:56,840 --> 00:43:59,360
Speaker 1: into practice. So you take it with a grain of salt.

839
00:43:59,400 --> 00:44:01,200
Speaker 1: But now you see what we see in these first

840
00:44:01,200 --> 00:44:03,479
Speaker 1: two weeks and you say, you know what. He said

841
00:44:03,480 --> 00:44:05,279
Speaker 1: it back in June. He's throwing the ball as great

842
00:44:05,320 --> 00:44:07,480
Speaker 1: as he ever has, or it felt as good coming

843
00:44:07,480 --> 00:44:08,960
Speaker 1: out of his hand as well as it ever has.

844
00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:12,040
Speaker 1: And we are now seeing that because the proof is

845
00:44:12,040 --> 00:44:13,600
Speaker 1: in the pudding, and through the first two weeks it

846
00:44:13,640 --> 00:44:16,560
Speaker 1: has been that and more. Yeah, I just want to

847
00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:22,680
Speaker 1: add one more thing and go ahead, Dave. I've seen

848
00:44:24,239 --> 00:44:26,279
Speaker 1: maybe there's some of you guys, but I've seen some

849
00:44:26,360 --> 00:44:31,200
Speaker 1: other journalists ask some of his teammates as well. What's

850
00:44:31,200 --> 00:44:34,200
Speaker 1: the biggest difference you've seen in Josh Allen in training camp?

851
00:44:34,480 --> 00:44:38,239
Speaker 1: And all of them wherever it was asked unequivocally said

852
00:44:38,480 --> 00:44:42,680
Speaker 1: his decision making and his speed along with his anc

853
00:44:43,320 --> 00:44:46,080
Speaker 1: He's more and thanks for the call, Dave. We appreciate it.

854
00:44:46,520 --> 00:44:52,880
Speaker 1: We've seen a level of decisiveness in Josh's game where

855
00:44:53,040 --> 00:44:58,600
Speaker 1: the decisions are being made quicker and there is no hesitation.

856
00:44:58,960 --> 00:45:00,920
Speaker 1: I think the only time we so I'm hesitate this

857
00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:03,800
Speaker 1: past week was when he took that sack. He triple

858
00:45:03,920 --> 00:45:07,160
Speaker 1: hitched in the pocket, but he stopped himself from forcing

859
00:45:07,200 --> 00:45:09,759
Speaker 1: a ball, and believe it or not, taking the sack

860
00:45:09,880 --> 00:45:12,520
Speaker 1: was probably the right thing to do on that play

861
00:45:12,600 --> 00:45:15,000
Speaker 1: instead of doing what he had done in previous years,

862
00:45:15,080 --> 00:45:16,719
Speaker 1: was I'm gonna try and make a play here. I

863
00:45:16,760 --> 00:45:18,480
Speaker 1: gotta try and make a play, you know, it's crunch time,

864
00:45:18,719 --> 00:45:19,960
Speaker 1: games on the line. I'm gonna try and make a

865
00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:23,319
Speaker 1: play here, and inevitably it would it would not work

866
00:45:23,320 --> 00:45:27,759
Speaker 1: out well. So the sack is not a positive play either,

867
00:45:28,160 --> 00:45:31,640
Speaker 1: but it's less damaging to what they were trying to

868
00:45:31,640 --> 00:45:34,560
Speaker 1: get accomplished on that particular drive. You live for another play.

869
00:45:34,640 --> 00:45:37,399
Speaker 1: The loss was minimal and you're not putting the ball

870
00:45:37,440 --> 00:45:40,520
Speaker 1: in the other team's hands. Yeah, you take the interception

871
00:45:40,560 --> 00:45:43,160
Speaker 1: off the table you'd take you know, obviously held on

872
00:45:43,200 --> 00:45:45,200
Speaker 1: the ball. So he's take the sack strip FuMB. Yeah,

873
00:45:45,200 --> 00:45:46,759
Speaker 1: he take a little bit of a loss on the play.

874
00:45:46,920 --> 00:45:49,640
Speaker 1: Wasn't that big a loss, But you still maintain possession

875
00:45:49,640 --> 00:45:52,239
Speaker 1: of the ball. Live for another day. Because when you

876
00:45:52,600 --> 00:45:55,200
Speaker 1: try to make something happen on that as invariably when

877
00:45:55,320 --> 00:45:58,239
Speaker 1: you throw the interception either tipped interception or fumble it

878
00:45:58,320 --> 00:46:00,200
Speaker 1: or what sacks strip FuMB will going the other way.

879
00:46:00,440 --> 00:46:02,319
Speaker 1: All of that stuff comes up when you try and

880
00:46:02,400 --> 00:46:04,399
Speaker 1: do something off the page that big. But yeah, it

881
00:46:04,440 --> 00:46:06,879
Speaker 1: worked out for him that he took the sack. They

882
00:46:06,920 --> 00:46:10,360
Speaker 1: didn't get that mini that day. That day it was

883
00:46:10,480 --> 00:46:13,200
Speaker 1: probably their only sack, am I right, Maybe not technically,

884
00:46:13,239 --> 00:46:15,080
Speaker 1: it might might have been the only one of the day,

885
00:46:15,760 --> 00:46:18,560
Speaker 1: but it does some tackle at the line of scrimmage.

886
00:46:18,560 --> 00:46:23,000
Speaker 1: It's one of those plays to me, Brownie that you

887
00:46:23,080 --> 00:46:27,080
Speaker 1: never saw him take very much in years passed well,

888
00:46:27,160 --> 00:46:30,920
Speaker 1: yeah right, he dialed back the hero ball right where

889
00:46:31,160 --> 00:46:36,040
Speaker 1: he feels pressure to make something happen. Instead, his mindset

890
00:46:36,120 --> 00:46:38,560
Speaker 1: is more, all right, we gotta score on this drive,

891
00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:40,160
Speaker 1: but it doesn't. I don't have to get it all

892
00:46:40,160 --> 00:46:43,319
Speaker 1: on this play, you know. And I think a good

893
00:46:43,320 --> 00:46:45,160
Speaker 1: example of that was what we saw in week one.

894
00:46:45,640 --> 00:46:48,560
Speaker 1: In Week one against the Jets. They took what that

895
00:46:48,719 --> 00:46:52,239
Speaker 1: defense gave him because one of Greg Williams mantras on

896
00:46:52,280 --> 00:46:54,839
Speaker 1: defense is nothing cheap, nothing deep. He's playing a lot

897
00:46:54,880 --> 00:46:57,400
Speaker 1: of Cover two, a lot of help, safety, help over

898
00:46:57,480 --> 00:46:59,200
Speaker 1: the top. He was not going to let them get

899
00:46:59,239 --> 00:47:02,040
Speaker 1: it on a fifty play. So you had to nickel

900
00:47:02,080 --> 00:47:03,799
Speaker 1: and dime your way down the field. And look at

901
00:47:03,800 --> 00:47:05,759
Speaker 1: the Bills through the first two weeks, I think they

902
00:47:05,840 --> 00:47:10,640
Speaker 1: have four or five scoring drives of twelve plays or more.

903
00:47:11,160 --> 00:47:14,359
Speaker 1: Right after two games. That just speaks to the level

904
00:47:14,400 --> 00:47:16,919
Speaker 1: of patients that Josh is bringing to the game. It's

905
00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:22,440
Speaker 1: controlled urgency, not reckless urgency. Makes something happen. We spoke about,

906
00:47:22,520 --> 00:47:24,560
Speaker 1: you know, Greg Williams is a good defensive coordinator and

907
00:47:24,920 --> 00:47:28,760
Speaker 1: Miamis has you know, struggled with Josh. But Greg Williams,

908
00:47:29,719 --> 00:47:31,880
Speaker 1: you're going into this season and he knew. Greg Williams

909
00:47:31,880 --> 00:47:34,239
Speaker 1: probably knew what he was looking at with his defensive personnel.

910
00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:38,000
Speaker 1: Certainly may actually played a really good game their safety,

911
00:47:38,600 --> 00:47:43,759
Speaker 1: but he knew. He was like, Okay, listen, if this

912
00:47:43,800 --> 00:47:45,880
Speaker 1: guy's gonna beat us, let's make him do it in

913
00:47:45,880 --> 00:47:47,759
Speaker 1: a way that he hasn't shown the ability to do.

914
00:47:47,800 --> 00:47:50,520
Speaker 1: Let's see him put together twelve play drives and bills

915
00:47:50,520 --> 00:47:53,440
Speaker 1: put together fourteen play drive in that game against the Jets.

916
00:47:53,440 --> 00:47:57,600
Speaker 1: I think that was kind of their mantra. You're right,

917
00:47:57,640 --> 00:47:59,680
Speaker 1: they played over the top. If you're gonna do it,

918
00:47:59,719 --> 00:48:02,160
Speaker 1: let's see let's see this. Let's see how precise you

919
00:48:02,160 --> 00:48:04,399
Speaker 1: can be. Let's see your accuracy if it's improved, because

920
00:48:04,400 --> 00:48:06,319
Speaker 1: it's gonna take that to beat us in you know today,

921
00:48:06,360 --> 00:48:07,839
Speaker 1: We're gonna make you throw it like and he did,

922
00:48:08,000 --> 00:48:10,560
Speaker 1: and he did it in a a I'll tell you

923
00:48:10,560 --> 00:48:12,399
Speaker 1: what he could have done. It really bad if we

924
00:48:12,680 --> 00:48:14,680
Speaker 1: if you wouldn't have fumbled it twice in the red zone.

925
00:48:14,760 --> 00:48:17,719
Speaker 1: I mean, think about that, he was carving him up.

926
00:48:17,960 --> 00:48:21,000
Speaker 1: He would have been carving him up. And so now

927
00:48:22,239 --> 00:48:23,840
Speaker 1: you know, teams, it'll be interesting to see what the

928
00:48:23,920 --> 00:48:26,000

Speaker 1: I'm trying to take care of here. Your visor is

1067
00:55:51,120 --> 00:55:54,759
Speaker 1: somewhere on another list, right and it stuff like that

1068
00:55:54,800 --> 00:55:58,480
Speaker 1: happened all the time in training camp until guys got

1069
00:55:58,480 --> 00:56:01,600
Speaker 1: there the feel of it. Bro, I'm you're not getting

1070
00:56:02,120 --> 00:56:04,560
Speaker 1: you're not getting at tend advisor eight oh three, five

1071
00:56:04,680 --> 00:56:07,799
Speaker 1: fifty five fifty two, five fifties. We're asking you, what's

1072
00:56:07,800 --> 00:56:10,200
Speaker 1: the biggest difference you've seen in Josh Allen's game so

1073
00:56:10,200 --> 00:56:12,680
Speaker 1: far this season? We go back to the phones into Andy,

1074
00:56:12,880 --> 00:56:14,960
Speaker 1: who's calling us out in Cally, Andy, what do you

1075
00:56:15,000 --> 00:56:19,960
Speaker 1: have for us? Thanks for joining us Florida, Not Kelly,

1076
00:56:21,360 --> 00:56:27,439
Speaker 1: fair enough challenge for me this year? Um. I saw

1077
00:56:27,440 --> 00:56:29,360
Speaker 1: it in the offseason when he was working out with

1078
00:56:29,400 --> 00:56:33,359
Speaker 1: gigs in Florida and the rookies and Hotsins and uh,

1079
00:56:35,360 --> 00:56:37,799
Speaker 1: you know things like that. I mean, his body just

1080
00:56:37,880 --> 00:56:41,560
Speaker 1: looks so much more lean, but he's gained twenty five pounds,

1081
00:56:41,600 --> 00:56:44,480
Speaker 1: looks like a muscle, and he's just he's growing into

1082
00:56:44,520 --> 00:56:49,200
Speaker 1: his body. He's maturing as not only as a quarterback mentally,

1083
00:56:49,320 --> 00:56:54,279
Speaker 1: but physically, and I just really truly believe that that's

1084
00:56:54,280 --> 00:56:56,279
Speaker 1: going to be the thing that gives him longevity in

1085
00:56:56,280 --> 00:56:58,880
Speaker 1: this league. I mean, he obviously has the work ethic.

1086
00:56:59,640 --> 00:57:02,360
Speaker 1: Obviously he studies the film, he wants to get better,

1087
00:57:02,840 --> 00:57:05,080
Speaker 1: he says all the right things. He's a team first

1088
00:57:05,200 --> 00:57:09,560
Speaker 1: type of player. But you know, the raw skills he's

1089
00:57:09,640 --> 00:57:13,359
Speaker 1: he's growing into himself. And I mean he knew three

1090
00:57:13,440 --> 00:57:17,080
Speaker 1: years ago when we drafted the guy we had, everybody

1091
00:57:17,080 --> 00:57:20,040
Speaker 1: said he was a project, you know, but he truly

1092
00:57:20,120 --> 00:57:23,600
Speaker 1: is becoming the best in that class minus Lamar Jackson

1093
00:57:23,640 --> 00:57:25,320
Speaker 1: with his success. But you know, I think he had

1094
00:57:25,360 --> 00:57:29,480
Speaker 1: a different system where he came into a much better team.

1095
00:57:29,560 --> 00:57:34,880
Speaker 1: But I mean he's the raw productives the same system

1096
00:57:36,400 --> 00:57:39,240
Speaker 1: consistently on those sidelines. You know, every every time he

1097
00:57:39,320 --> 00:57:41,439
Speaker 1: meets the steak, he owns it. Whether it's his father,

1098
00:57:41,560 --> 00:57:44,600
Speaker 1: it's not, it's just I mean, even Cole Beasley in

1099
00:57:44,640 --> 00:57:47,080
Speaker 1: the offseason tell him he's starting to throw people open.

1100
00:57:47,600 --> 00:57:50,440
Speaker 1: I Mean, you saw all those crossing patterns all day someday,

1101
00:57:50,840 --> 00:57:53,280
Speaker 1: and he was he was throwing into space and watching.

1102
00:57:53,560 --> 00:57:56,120
Speaker 1: If you watch it, the players are running into the

1103
00:57:56,120 --> 00:57:59,200
Speaker 1: football instead of them holding out and meeting for the football.

1104
00:57:59,840 --> 00:58:03,760
Speaker 1: I just I really believe that John Challen is successful,

1105
00:58:06,080 --> 00:58:10,040
Speaker 1: not just the season, but going forward, that his body

1106
00:58:10,160 --> 00:58:13,760
Speaker 1: is just ready to be a pasful quarterback in himself

1107
00:58:13,960 --> 00:58:18,440
Speaker 1: so much, I mean that makes any sense? Yeah, No,

1108
00:58:18,560 --> 00:58:21,520
Speaker 1: I mean I thank you for the call, and yeah, Steve,

1109
00:58:21,680 --> 00:58:24,360
Speaker 1: I think this was the thing when they were deciding

1110
00:58:24,400 --> 00:58:26,560
Speaker 1: whether or not Josh Allen was a right fit for

1111
00:58:26,560 --> 00:58:28,600
Speaker 1: the Bills and the moves they make to go up

1112
00:58:28,600 --> 00:58:30,320
Speaker 1: the war to get him, they had to be convinced

1113
00:58:30,360 --> 00:58:33,080
Speaker 1: of one thing because they knew off the bat the

1114
00:58:33,160 --> 00:58:36,560
Speaker 1: guy's got supreme physical talent capable of playing at this level,

1115
00:58:37,120 --> 00:58:43,120
Speaker 1: but he was very, very green, and the finer points

1116
00:58:43,120 --> 00:58:45,680
Speaker 1: of playing quarterback we're going to have to be mastered

1117
00:58:45,680 --> 00:58:47,880
Speaker 1: by this kid. And the only way he was going

1118
00:58:47,920 --> 00:58:50,480
Speaker 1: to get there was with good player development from a

1119
00:58:50,520 --> 00:58:55,600
Speaker 1: coaching staff and a level of dedication that's required at

1120
00:58:55,600 --> 00:58:58,600
Speaker 1: this level, which is pretty much twenty four seven. Right,

1121
00:58:59,080 --> 00:59:02,640
Speaker 1: You've got to deter and very quickly whether the kid

1122
00:59:02,760 --> 00:59:06,600
Speaker 1: is internally motivated enough to commit himself that much to

1123
00:59:06,760 --> 00:59:11,760
Speaker 1: this game to reach all of his potential. And that

1124
00:59:11,880 --> 00:59:14,400
Speaker 1: was the task that Brandon, being in his personnel department,

1125
00:59:14,440 --> 00:59:17,640
Speaker 1: had on their plate. And they made the right call

1126
00:59:17,720 --> 00:59:19,440
Speaker 1: because they believed this was a kid that was going

1127
00:59:19,480 --> 00:59:22,560
Speaker 1: to be committed to being great. They believed him when

1128
00:59:22,600 --> 00:59:25,840
Speaker 1: he said it. They investigated just about every person, probably

1129
00:59:25,840 --> 00:59:28,400
Speaker 1: all the way down to his third grade teacher, and

1130
00:59:28,480 --> 00:59:30,120
Speaker 1: they got the answers they were looking for, and they

1131
00:59:30,120 --> 00:59:33,000
Speaker 1: made him the draft choice. And we see the fruits

1132
00:59:33,000 --> 00:59:37,360
Speaker 1: of his labor now, you know, bearing fruit for this offense. Right.

1133
00:59:37,400 --> 00:59:39,520
Speaker 1: He had a long way to go when they drafted him,

1134
00:59:39,560 --> 00:59:43,560
Speaker 1: and he knew it. And I think the plan that

1135
00:59:43,600 --> 00:59:46,160
Speaker 1: they had laid out for him has been followed precisely,

1136
00:59:46,480 --> 00:59:51,720
Speaker 1: and through not just Sean McDermott and Brian day Ball

1137
00:59:51,800 --> 00:59:55,000
Speaker 1: and that side of it, but also from Josh's side

1138
00:59:55,040 --> 00:59:58,840
Speaker 1: of it. He's committed to it. He's he wants to

1139
00:59:58,920 --> 01:00:02,200
Speaker 1: be great. With the physical traits that he has that

1140
01:00:02,520 --> 01:00:05,520
Speaker 1: you know, it's got a pretty high ceiling because of

1141
01:00:05,520 --> 01:00:09,000
Speaker 1: his physical abilities. And one of the things I heard

1142
01:00:09,000 --> 01:00:12,720
Speaker 1: about him at time and time again, he's a really

1143
01:00:12,800 --> 01:00:17,440
Speaker 1: sharp guy. He's really smart and smart people who work hard,

1144
01:00:18,840 --> 01:00:24,520
Speaker 1: who are highly motivated, they tend to be successful. And

1145
01:00:24,520 --> 01:00:26,440
Speaker 1: that's what we're seeing with Josh in the first through

1146
01:00:26,480 --> 01:00:30,360
Speaker 1: the first two weeks. There's no question he's a completely

1147
01:00:30,360 --> 01:00:33,280
Speaker 1: different guy, capable of completely different things as an NFL

1148
01:00:33,360 --> 01:00:36,240
Speaker 1: quarterback now than he was two years ago. And we've

1149
01:00:36,360 --> 01:00:39,400
Speaker 1: we've all seen it, we've all watched it, and we

1150
01:00:39,400 --> 01:00:41,040
Speaker 1: don't know where it's going. We don't know how this

1151
01:00:41,120 --> 01:00:43,760
Speaker 1: ride's gonna end, or at what bumps and bumps and

1152
01:00:44,760 --> 01:00:48,320
Speaker 1: dips we may encounter along the way this season. But certainly,

1153
01:00:48,360 --> 01:00:50,240
Speaker 1: if if you can get if the play like we've

1154
01:00:50,240 --> 01:00:52,240
Speaker 1: seen in the last two weeks is in there somewhere,

1155
01:00:52,920 --> 01:00:58,240
Speaker 1: well that's now becomes the floor. We expect to see

1156
01:00:58,280 --> 01:00:59,880
Speaker 1: this everywhere. He's got to be able to do this

1157
01:01:00,440 --> 01:01:03,439
Speaker 1: every week when it's there to be done. He doesn't

1158
01:01:03,480 --> 01:01:05,160
Speaker 1: need to go out. He doesn't. And I guess this

1159
01:01:05,240 --> 01:01:07,920
Speaker 1: is what I'm saying. He doesn't have to try and

1160
01:01:07,960 --> 01:01:10,400
Speaker 1: be special anymore. That's try and play hero ball, as

1161
01:01:10,440 --> 01:01:12,440
Speaker 1: you call it. He doesn't have to try and be special.

1162
01:01:13,000 --> 01:01:16,320
Speaker 1: He's a special guy now. If he can just play

1163
01:01:16,400 --> 01:01:20,600
Speaker 1: this way consistently, Consistency is the key for him. Now

1164
01:01:21,280 --> 01:01:23,640
Speaker 1: he's reached a level that is different than he has

1165
01:01:23,680 --> 01:01:25,720
Speaker 1: been in the past, and he and it took him

1166
01:01:25,720 --> 01:01:27,360
Speaker 1: two years to get there, no question, this is in

1167
01:01:27,360 --> 01:01:30,760
Speaker 1: his third year, but it's a he's in a different

1168
01:01:30,760 --> 01:01:34,440
Speaker 1: spot now, so now it becomes the yardstick changes for him.

1169
01:01:34,440 --> 01:01:37,800
Speaker 1: I think it's raised significantly. Eighth, three, five fifty. To

1170
01:01:37,880 --> 01:01:40,520
Speaker 1: join us, we go to Mark and Buffalo. Mark, what

1171
01:01:40,560 --> 01:01:42,600
Speaker 1: do you have for us here? Welcome to One Bill's Live.

1172
01:01:43,640 --> 01:01:48,040
Speaker 1: Hey go Bills. Right, Oh yeah, great game. Well, I've

1173
01:01:48,040 --> 01:01:50,040
Speaker 1: got a couple of things that I'd like to talk

1174
01:01:50,080 --> 01:01:54,160
Speaker 1: about as far as Josh Ellen's progression, and I think

1175
01:01:54,200 --> 01:01:57,080
Speaker 1: the biggest two of the biggest things that I think

1176
01:01:57,120 --> 01:01:59,400
Speaker 1: are helping this kid. I'm one of the plays. I

1177
01:01:59,480 --> 01:02:03,160
Speaker 1: noticed Um Diggs was coming across the middle right directly

1178
01:02:03,800 --> 01:02:07,240
Speaker 1: to the sidelines, right towards the camera, and Josh Allen

1179
01:02:07,320 --> 01:02:09,080
Speaker 1: threw a ball and it was like in slow motion.

1180
01:02:09,760 --> 01:02:13,480
Speaker 1: Um Diggs was behind the receiver and I thought for

1181
01:02:13,520 --> 01:02:15,280
Speaker 1: sure it was going to be an intersection, and somehow

1182
01:02:15,320 --> 01:02:17,720
Speaker 1: another Digs reached around the guy and caught the ball.

1183
01:02:18,520 --> 01:02:20,680
Speaker 1: Um Zay Jones used to drive me crazy if the

1184
01:02:20,680 --> 01:02:23,320
Speaker 1: ball wasn't on the number he made didn't seem it though.

1185
01:02:23,360 --> 01:02:25,959
Speaker 1: He made very many adjustments to go after the ball,

1186
01:02:26,000 --> 01:02:28,920
Speaker 1: so he kind of hung his quarterback out to to dry.

1187
01:02:29,080 --> 01:02:30,840
Speaker 1: And now these guys do not do that. If the

1188
01:02:30,840 --> 01:02:33,439
Speaker 1: balls the balls in the area, these guys are making

1189
01:02:33,840 --> 01:02:37,320
Speaker 1: clearly an effort to go after it. Um. The other

1190
01:02:37,400 --> 01:02:40,480
Speaker 1: thing too, is Josh Allen used to bomb the ball

1191
01:02:40,600 --> 01:02:43,080
Speaker 1: U seventy yards, but it would be on a rope.

1192
01:02:43,240 --> 01:02:45,400
Speaker 1: And when you've got guys like like we have that

1193
01:02:45,440 --> 01:02:48,800
Speaker 1: are able to track the ball, um, that that skillset

1194
01:02:48,880 --> 01:02:50,920
Speaker 1: kind of goes out the window. If there's a ball

1195
01:02:50,960 --> 01:02:54,400
Speaker 1: that's that's thrown so hard and so low to the ground,

1196
01:02:54,400 --> 01:02:56,560
Speaker 1: there's no there's no adjusting to it. It It just gets

1197
01:02:56,560 --> 01:03:00,200
Speaker 1: here too quick. And now um he's putting that ark

1198
01:03:00,320 --> 01:03:02,320
Speaker 1: on it and they can adjust. It's almost like you're

1199
01:03:02,320 --> 01:03:05,160
Speaker 1: boxing out on a basketball court. But that one that

1200
01:03:05,280 --> 01:03:08,200
Speaker 1: John Brown was got a touchdown on the ball was

1201
01:03:08,240 --> 01:03:11,560
Speaker 1: a little bit underthrown. But that receiver or that defensive

1202
01:03:11,560 --> 01:03:13,920
Speaker 1: back would have had to come through his back, and

1203
01:03:14,000 --> 01:03:16,160
Speaker 1: Brown used his body to kind of box him away

1204
01:03:16,160 --> 01:03:19,280
Speaker 1: from the ball, so that ball dropped right into his

1205
01:03:19,320 --> 01:03:22,120
Speaker 1: hands and defensive back wasn't really going to have a

1206
01:03:22,200 --> 01:03:25,200
Speaker 1: chance of that ball. I think that's a big, big difference.

1207
01:03:25,760 --> 01:03:27,680
Speaker 1: And if you guys don't mind, I'd like to make

1208
01:03:27,760 --> 01:03:33,200
Speaker 1: one more point. They have Josh Allen. They're all all

1209
01:03:33,200 --> 01:03:36,840
Speaker 1: over this guy about his accuracy. And one of those

1210
01:03:36,840 --> 01:03:41,240
Speaker 1: things that I noticed, he's looking off to the defensive backs,

1211
01:03:41,240 --> 01:03:43,640
Speaker 1: the safety in particular, he's looking him off and you

1212
01:03:43,760 --> 01:03:46,120
Speaker 1: see his head snap around and he's ready in a

1213
01:03:46,200 --> 01:03:48,600
Speaker 1: fraction of the second to unload that ball on unlike

1214
01:03:48,600 --> 01:03:51,040
Speaker 1: a crossing pattern. And a lot of times you see

1215
01:03:51,080 --> 01:03:54,280
Speaker 1: him throw the ball at the guy's feet or two

1216
01:03:54,360 --> 01:03:57,360
Speaker 1: three yards at his feet. I gotta believe that some

1217
01:03:57,440 --> 01:04:00,360
Speaker 1: of those throwaways at their feet are by design. He

1218
01:04:00,480 --> 01:04:03,120
Speaker 1: turned and he's got a fraction and second to decide

1219
01:04:03,120 --> 01:04:05,800
Speaker 1: if that that receiver is open, and if he's got

1220
01:04:06,080 --> 01:04:10,400
Speaker 1: a defensive back right they're on their heels or able

1221
01:04:10,440 --> 01:04:12,760
Speaker 1: to jump the route, those balls are going into the ground.

1222
01:04:12,840 --> 01:04:15,800
Speaker 1: I can't believe in my heart that he's throwing those

1223
01:04:16,040 --> 01:04:20,120
Speaker 1: that erratically on purpose or on accident. I think they're

1224
01:04:20,160 --> 01:04:22,560
Speaker 1: on purpose, just so he doesn't make a mistake and

1225
01:04:22,640 --> 01:04:26,000
Speaker 1: try to squeeze it in there. Yeah, I'm sorry, we're

1226
01:04:26,040 --> 01:04:28,160
Speaker 1: up against the break here, Mark, but thanks for the

1227
01:04:28,200 --> 01:04:32,160
Speaker 1: comments there. I will say this, he is even last year,

1228
01:04:32,240 --> 01:04:36,680
Speaker 1: he was growing into that skill, the acquired skill the

1229
01:04:36,760 --> 01:04:39,400
Speaker 1: quarterbacks need to have in terms of manipulating safeties with

1230
01:04:39,480 --> 01:04:41,840
Speaker 1: your eyes. And he did it in Week one against

1231
01:04:41,840 --> 01:04:43,920
Speaker 1: the Jets, and he did it again last week on

1232
01:04:44,000 --> 01:04:47,800
Speaker 1: a couple of scoring plays against the Dolphins. So he's

1233
01:04:47,840 --> 01:04:49,800
Speaker 1: got that. I mean, he's he already knows how to

1234
01:04:49,840 --> 01:04:52,080
Speaker 1: do that pretty darn well. Yeah. And you know, it's

1235
01:04:52,080 --> 01:04:54,800
Speaker 1: always been the great debate and his detractors, the people

1236
01:04:54,800 --> 01:04:57,040
Speaker 1: who didn't like Josh Alten from the very beginning, always

1237
01:04:57,240 --> 01:04:59,440
Speaker 1: they laugh at him, and he was never as inaccurate

1238
01:04:59,480 --> 01:05:04,080
Speaker 1: as they trade. And he's but he's always had things

1239
01:05:04,080 --> 01:05:06,160
Speaker 1: to work on from the side even of his supporters,

1240
01:05:06,160 --> 01:05:07,400
Speaker 1: and he's got to do a little bit better here,

1241
01:05:07,400 --> 01:05:09,800
Speaker 1: a little bit better here. And he has worked on

1242
01:05:09,840 --> 01:05:12,080
Speaker 1: all of those things and gotten better in every aspect

1243
01:05:12,120 --> 01:05:15,280
Speaker 1: of his game. The bad plays have started to disappear

1244
01:05:15,320 --> 01:05:17,200
Speaker 1: and happened more in frequently. The hero ball is a

1245
01:05:17,280 --> 01:05:18,760
Speaker 1: thing of the pastor at least it seems to be

1246
01:05:19,840 --> 01:05:21,160
Speaker 1: all of that thing. I think the next thing that

1247
01:05:21,160 --> 01:05:23,400
Speaker 1: he's got to get rid of is obviously the fumbling issue,

1248
01:05:23,960 --> 01:05:29,640
Speaker 1: but every wart that his game had and every place

1249
01:05:29,720 --> 01:05:32,640
Speaker 1: he needed to progress in, you know, he has either

1250
01:05:32,720 --> 01:05:35,720
Speaker 1: alleviated the wart and progressed in those areas. And the

1251
01:05:35,720 --> 01:05:39,400
Speaker 1: guy's improved in absolutely every way possible as a quarterback

1252
01:05:40,040 --> 01:05:42,760
Speaker 1: and continues to. So you got to tip your hat

1253
01:05:42,800 --> 01:05:46,640
Speaker 1: to the guy. He was. He knew people were screaming

1254
01:05:46,720 --> 01:05:49,560
Speaker 1: about how unhappy they were that the Bills took him

1255
01:05:49,560 --> 01:05:52,400
Speaker 1: people and people up until late last year were laughing

1256
01:05:52,440 --> 01:05:55,560
Speaker 1: at him or you know, mocking him about his throwing

1257
01:05:55,560 --> 01:05:58,400
Speaker 1: abilities and all of those things. So he sees that,

1258
01:05:58,600 --> 01:06:02,680
Speaker 1: hears it and works on constantly, and in the first

1259
01:06:02,720 --> 01:06:04,360
Speaker 1: two weeks of this season, it looks like he's made

1260
01:06:04,360 --> 01:06:06,840
Speaker 1: some progress. Am I right? He's lit it up. All right?

1261
01:06:06,880 --> 01:06:08,720
Speaker 1: We have to take a breakbow when we come back

1262
01:06:09,080 --> 01:06:11,520
Speaker 1: from Good Morning Football. It's the one the only Kyle

1263
01:06:11,560 --> 01:06:14,160
Speaker 1: Brand making his weekly appearance here on One Bills Live.

1264
01:06:14,200 --> 01:06:17,080
Speaker 1: And he was pretty fired up about Josh Allen himself

1265
01:06:17,080 --> 01:06:19,880
Speaker 1: this morning in two different ways. We'll get to that

1266
01:06:19,960 --> 01:06:21,960
Speaker 1: and talk to him about that when we return here

1267
01:06:22,000 --> 01:06:24,040
Speaker 1: on One Bills Live, presented by Kalid to Health. This

1268
01:06:24,120 --> 01:06:41,040
Speaker 1: is Buffalo Bill's Radio Chris Brown, Steve Tasker one Bills

1269
01:06:41,080 --> 01:06:44,600
Speaker 1: Live Well. Every Tuesday during the regular season, Good Morning

1270
01:06:44,640 --> 01:06:47,600
Speaker 1: Football does their Angry Run segment where a player is

1271
01:06:47,640 --> 01:06:53,960
Speaker 1: awarded by the crew. Here's Kyle Brandt with this week's recipient.

1272
01:06:55,880 --> 01:06:58,800
Speaker 1: Is there another one? Couldn't there be someone I don't know,

1273
01:06:58,840 --> 01:07:02,560
Speaker 1: a quarterback from AFC East. Should we even include that one?

1274
01:07:03,320 --> 01:07:07,800
Speaker 1: Let's go Buffalo. Here comes your boy, Josh Allen waiting

1275
01:07:08,200 --> 01:07:11,520
Speaker 1: looking should I throw? Wait? Now, I'm gonna go back

1276
01:07:11,560 --> 01:07:13,320
Speaker 1: this way? Oh, I'm gonna throw the way. No, I'm not.

1277
01:07:13,360 --> 01:07:15,680
Speaker 1: I'm Josh Allen. I was raising a canalop farm fad.

1278
01:07:15,920 --> 01:07:19,400
Speaker 1: Get off me, you get off me. This is so good.

1279
01:07:19,760 --> 01:07:22,320
Speaker 1: All right, let's let's let's unwrap this thing. Let's unwrap

1280
01:07:22,360 --> 01:07:25,000
Speaker 1: the angry four. Oh my, guess that's a linebacker. That's

1281
01:07:25,000 --> 01:07:28,640
Speaker 1: a d lineman. There is no reason a quarterback should

1282
01:07:28,720 --> 01:07:31,600
Speaker 1: be doing that. Give it a freeze. Sit listen. I

1283
01:07:31,720 --> 01:07:34,160
Speaker 1: love Kyle Vanoy, We all do. A great guy, incredible players,

1284
01:07:34,160 --> 01:07:36,640
Speaker 1: super Bowl champ Josh Allen is putting him in time out.

1285
01:07:36,960 --> 01:07:40,040
Speaker 1: You sit here and you think about what you did,

1286
01:07:40,320 --> 01:07:43,040
Speaker 1: and now I'm gonna up my game. As Nate's always saying,

1287
01:07:43,160 --> 01:07:45,080
Speaker 1: life's about leveling up. I'm gonna go to a D

1288
01:07:45,160 --> 01:07:48,560
Speaker 1: lineman unposits n of these linebackers. I don't mess with

1289
01:07:48,720 --> 01:07:50,480
Speaker 1: Lonch too small for me. Let me go up to

1290
01:07:50,520 --> 01:07:55,320
Speaker 1: the D lineman on row the es. We didn't another one, guys,

1291
01:07:55,360 --> 01:07:57,720
Speaker 1: that's about five hundred pounds. Josh Allen came here to

1292
01:07:57,760 --> 01:08:01,560
Speaker 1: do two things. Leave the NFL pass and truck some dudes,

1293
01:08:01,760 --> 01:08:04,600
Speaker 1: and we're all out of passes. Josh Allen, you are

1294
01:08:04,640 --> 01:08:07,400
Speaker 1: a lunatic, and you might ask at home, Hey, Brant

1295
01:08:07,480 --> 01:08:11,320
Speaker 1: has a quarterback? Ever one angry runs before has a quarterback.

1296
01:08:11,800 --> 01:08:14,840
Speaker 1: This quarterbacks won it two years ago. We used to

1297
01:08:14,880 --> 01:08:17,320
Speaker 1: hand out a cheesy trophy. Hes there it is as

1298
01:08:17,360 --> 01:08:20,920
Speaker 1: a rook As a rookie, Josh Allen won this thing?

1299
01:08:21,240 --> 01:08:23,400
Speaker 1: Will he win it? Look at the size of those hands,

1300
01:08:23,640 --> 01:08:25,880
Speaker 1: Look at the size of those incisors. That as an

1301
01:08:25,960 --> 01:08:29,760
Speaker 1: angry leader of an undefeated team. But does he get decepter?

1302
01:08:30,320 --> 01:08:34,200
Speaker 1: Does he get decepter for that? I take a breath.

1303
01:08:34,760 --> 01:08:37,360
Speaker 1: I go onto the flipper later. Guess what. We're gonna

1304
01:08:37,400 --> 01:08:40,040
Speaker 1: put this in a nice beautiful box and we're gonna

1305
01:08:40,120 --> 01:08:42,760
Speaker 1: send it to Western New York. We're gonna send it

1306
01:08:42,880 --> 01:08:45,400
Speaker 1: right here to Josh, look at the fire in that

1307
01:08:45,439 --> 01:08:48,000
Speaker 1: thing as you attempt to go three and oh, Josh Allen,

1308
01:08:48,479 --> 01:08:52,080
Speaker 1: my goodness, you young maniac. You are the Angry Runner

1309
01:08:52,240 --> 01:08:55,800
Speaker 1: of the week. Welcome to the Interceptor World Tour. My

1310
01:08:55,880 --> 01:09:01,800
Speaker 1: friend Boom Angry runs week two. Okay, well, I don't

1311
01:09:01,840 --> 01:09:04,000
Speaker 1: need to say anything else. Joining us now making his

1312
01:09:04,040 --> 01:09:06,360
Speaker 1: weekly appearance here on one Bill's Live as one Kyle

1313
01:09:06,439 --> 01:09:08,639
Speaker 1: Brand who still holds the scepter. So it hasn't made

1314
01:09:08,640 --> 01:09:12,200
Speaker 1: it to the mail just yet, has it? Our contraire,

1315
01:09:12,439 --> 01:09:16,160
Speaker 1: This is my own personal sept chapter to the QB.

1316
01:09:16,360 --> 01:09:19,800
Speaker 1: One is already probably thirty thousand feet in the air,

1317
01:09:19,920 --> 01:09:22,719
Speaker 1: or maybe just on the freeway from Westchester to Buffalo.

1318
01:09:22,800 --> 01:09:25,080
Speaker 1: He gets on the way and I just love. We're

1319
01:09:25,080 --> 01:09:28,720
Speaker 1: watching that clip and I'm calling someone else a lunatic

1320
01:09:28,760 --> 01:09:32,360
Speaker 1: in a maniac who is that raving fiend in that clip?

1321
01:09:32,520 --> 01:09:35,080
Speaker 1: Because it's different now, guys, I've done this from studio

1322
01:09:35,120 --> 01:09:37,760
Speaker 1: for years. I'm now on my own personal basement, and

1323
01:09:37,840 --> 01:09:39,160
Speaker 1: I got a six year old in the four year

1324
01:09:39,160 --> 01:09:42,439
Speaker 1: old upstairs trembling about what daddy's screaming about in the basement.

1325
01:09:42,640 --> 01:09:46,679
Speaker 1: It's gotten very intimate with the angry runs. I get you.

1326
01:09:45,560 --> 01:09:49,360
Speaker 1: I gotta ask first, because last year I believe it

1327
01:09:49,439 --> 01:09:51,960
Speaker 1: was what was it like a metal crown of some kind,

1328
01:09:52,360 --> 01:09:54,400
Speaker 1: you know, like right out of Game of Thrones, because

1329
01:09:54,400 --> 01:09:56,519
Speaker 1: I remember Dawson Knox one it last year and went

1330
01:09:56,680 --> 01:10:00,639
Speaker 1: three again Cincinnati when he dispatched a two pensive bags

1331
01:10:00,680 --> 01:10:03,840
Speaker 1: on a catching run. How did we decide on the

1332
01:10:03,880 --> 01:10:08,559
Speaker 1: scepter this year? Great question. We started year one two

1333
01:10:08,640 --> 01:10:11,120
Speaker 1: or three years ago. The picture we showed of Josh Allen.

1334
01:10:11,160 --> 01:10:12,960
Speaker 1: He was a rookie and we did it last minute,

1335
01:10:12,960 --> 01:10:14,960
Speaker 1: so all we could find him is these cheesy bowling

1336
01:10:15,040 --> 01:10:17,640
Speaker 1: trophy looking knifeoff things. Right, we would send it to

1337
01:10:17,680 --> 01:10:20,080
Speaker 1: him and they appreciated it, but it wasn't on brand,

1338
01:10:20,120 --> 01:10:22,840
Speaker 1: as the kids say. So last year we found the

1339
01:10:22,880 --> 01:10:26,559
Speaker 1: Angry Crown, which was this black, sort of wicked looking

1340
01:10:26,560 --> 01:10:28,760
Speaker 1: crown that we did send a Dawson Knox and he

1341
01:10:28,840 --> 01:10:31,800
Speaker 1: rocked it proudly. And so year three you always have

1342
01:10:31,880 --> 01:10:35,559
Speaker 1: to do something better, and we found a scepter maker

1343
01:10:35,600 --> 01:10:39,519
Speaker 1: who not only makes these wicked dragon septors, but he

1344
01:10:39,560 --> 01:10:42,280
Speaker 1: puts this jewel that changes colors. It's almost like a

1345
01:10:42,360 --> 01:10:45,439
Speaker 1: mood sector. And we are sending one each and every

1346
01:10:45,439 --> 01:10:47,479
Speaker 1: week to the angry runs winner. And we planned to

1347
01:10:47,560 --> 01:10:50,360
Speaker 1: send at least three or four of these two Buffalo,

1348
01:10:50,439 --> 01:10:53,120
Speaker 1: New York and one down several to go. Yeah, that's

1349
01:10:53,200 --> 01:10:55,479
Speaker 1: that's good stuff. And you know it has been a

1350
01:10:55,600 --> 01:10:58,640
Speaker 1: season where Josh has opened some eyes. I mean, he's

1351
01:10:58,720 --> 01:11:01,000
Speaker 1: leading the league in passing for crying out loud, who

1352
01:11:01,320 --> 01:11:05,080
Speaker 1: I mean a little bit we I said, I walked

1353
01:11:05,120 --> 01:11:07,240
Speaker 1: in here today and this is hangover day. We were

1354
01:11:07,240 --> 01:11:09,439
Speaker 1: all drunk yesterday with how good the Bills did. And

1355
01:11:09,479 --> 01:11:11,080
Speaker 1: now we need to take a breath before we start

1356
01:11:11,120 --> 01:11:12,800
Speaker 1: thinking about the Rams. We need to recover it. And

1357
01:11:12,800 --> 01:11:14,639
Speaker 1: I said it was like you know you wake up

1358
01:11:14,680 --> 01:11:16,920
Speaker 1: after you had a few too many glass Oh my gosh,

1359
01:11:16,920 --> 01:11:19,080
Speaker 1: I gotta do something today. I got I gotta, I

1360
01:11:19,120 --> 01:11:21,080
Speaker 1: gotta get this together. I gotta we gotta reported. I

1361
01:11:21,320 --> 01:11:22,640
Speaker 1: have to report in by nine. And I was a

1362
01:11:22,680 --> 01:11:24,639
Speaker 1: little a little too lately. Right, It's one of those days.

1363
01:11:24,680 --> 01:11:26,479
Speaker 1: Now you gotta think, Okay, wait a minute, the Rams

1364
01:11:26,479 --> 01:11:29,280
Speaker 1: are coming to town. The last and I said this yesterday.

1365
01:11:29,320 --> 01:11:32,559
Speaker 1: The last two opponents of the Buffalo Bills, Jets, Dolphins,

1366
01:11:32,560 --> 01:11:36,080
Speaker 1: they're oh and four combined. The next four opponents are

1367
01:11:36,120 --> 01:11:39,519
Speaker 1: eight no, the Raiders just went too and oh last night,

1368
01:11:39,560 --> 01:11:41,479
Speaker 1: and all four of these next opponents have not been

1369
01:11:41,479 --> 01:11:43,599
Speaker 1: beaten yet either. It's a little different animal coming up

1370
01:11:43,600 --> 01:11:46,280
Speaker 1: in the next month. Steve, See, this is a this

1371
01:11:46,320 --> 01:11:48,720
Speaker 1: is a question of philosophy. You can decide to get

1372
01:11:48,760 --> 01:11:52,240
Speaker 1: back to work and sober up, or since it's only Tuesday,

1373
01:11:52,360 --> 01:11:54,400
Speaker 1: you can just have another one to keep drinking. I

1374
01:11:54,520 --> 01:11:57,960
Speaker 1: wait until tomorrow, so I'm gonna have hair of the dog.

1375
01:11:58,320 --> 01:12:00,360
Speaker 1: And here's my stat of the day where we get

1376
01:12:00,360 --> 01:12:02,920
Speaker 1: to the upcoming opponents, which I respect. There have been

1377
01:12:03,040 --> 01:12:07,240
Speaker 1: four players in history, four quarterbacks. We've started the first

1378
01:12:07,240 --> 01:12:11,320
Speaker 1: two games with seven hundred passing yards, six touchdowns, zero interceptions.

1379
01:12:11,320 --> 01:12:15,200
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning on the Broncos, Tom Brady twenty fifteen, Patrick

1380
01:12:15,280 --> 01:12:18,880
Speaker 1: Mahomes last year, and Josh Allen this year. That's it.

1381
01:12:19,400 --> 01:12:24,800
Speaker 1: That's the list, Peyton, Tom Mahomes and Alan It's incredible.

1382
01:12:25,120 --> 01:12:28,160
Speaker 1: I'm drunk on It's still never mind the illusion that

1383
01:12:28,160 --> 01:12:31,000
Speaker 1: you set up. It's so intoxicating to have this team go.

1384
01:12:31,080 --> 01:12:33,040
Speaker 1: Not only that they're playing well and winning, they were

1385
01:12:33,040 --> 01:12:35,479
Speaker 1: playing well and winning last year. It's not only the

1386
01:12:35,600 --> 01:12:37,960
Speaker 1: Josh Allen's leading the NFL and passing. He doesn't have

1387
01:12:38,000 --> 01:12:42,320
Speaker 1: an interception yet, he's seventy percent with his passes. Spon

1388
01:12:42,439 --> 01:12:46,000
Speaker 1: Diggs leading the NFL and receiving. It's all coming together beautifully.

1389
01:12:46,400 --> 01:12:49,160
Speaker 1: And yet if I take a gulp and I'm mixing

1390
01:12:49,200 --> 01:12:51,719
Speaker 1: a few waters between rounds as they tell you're supposed

1391
01:12:51,760 --> 01:12:54,679
Speaker 1: to do, it's gonna get real these next four games.

1392
01:12:54,720 --> 01:12:57,479
Speaker 1: They are excellent teams. And I think if we're standing

1393
01:12:57,560 --> 01:12:59,759
Speaker 1: here a month from now, I'm not buying this guyland.

1394
01:12:59,800 --> 01:13:02,160
Speaker 1: They're sixteen and oh. I think if they can go

1395
01:13:02,280 --> 01:13:04,640
Speaker 1: three and one on this stretch that we should be

1396
01:13:04,720 --> 01:13:07,000
Speaker 1: dancing in the streets. I think they can. I'm even

1397
01:13:07,080 --> 01:13:08,880
Speaker 1: gonna predict I think they will. I've set from the

1398
01:13:08,880 --> 01:13:10,720
Speaker 1: get go. They're a twelve and four team. I think

1399
01:13:10,720 --> 01:13:12,759
Speaker 1: they're a top five or six team in the league.

1400
01:13:12,920 --> 01:13:14,880
Speaker 1: Let's go. We had our warm up rounds. That was

1401
01:13:14,920 --> 01:13:17,479
Speaker 1: a two game preseason. Let's play some ball now. So

1402
01:13:17,760 --> 01:13:20,800
Speaker 1: you know, Josh mentioned it after the game on Sunday.

1403
01:13:20,880 --> 01:13:23,120
Speaker 1: You know, you can tell the confidence level that he's

1404
01:13:23,160 --> 01:13:26,160
Speaker 1: playing with. But I think it's largely rooted in the

1405
01:13:26,200 --> 01:13:29,240
Speaker 1: fact that they go they put three receivers out on

1406
01:13:29,280 --> 01:13:32,240
Speaker 1: the field and then Knox who's in concussion protocol right now.

1407
01:13:32,240 --> 01:13:37,160
Speaker 1: We'll see about him. He's pretty confident that most secondaries

1408
01:13:37,200 --> 01:13:40,880
Speaker 1: in this league don't go that deep and can't match

1409
01:13:41,000 --> 01:13:43,320
Speaker 1: up across the board with what they're putting out on

1410
01:13:43,360 --> 01:13:45,360
Speaker 1: the field every week. And I know the Rams who

1411
01:13:45,400 --> 01:13:47,800
Speaker 1: they face this week probably feel much the same way

1412
01:13:47,439 --> 01:13:49,720
Speaker 1: with the cast that they can throw out there for

1413
01:13:49,800 --> 01:13:52,559
Speaker 1: Jared Goff, but this is a first for Josh. He's

1414
01:13:52,600 --> 01:13:55,040
Speaker 1: not using to used to having all these weapons at

1415
01:13:55,040 --> 01:13:57,800
Speaker 1: his disposal, but the confidence it has instilled in him

1416
01:13:58,240 --> 01:14:01,920
Speaker 1: to pull the triggered decisive through these first two weeks

1417
01:14:01,920 --> 01:14:04,680
Speaker 1: has been nothing short of amazing. And I attributed to

1418
01:14:04,680 --> 01:14:08,519
Speaker 1: these guys who are early and consistent separators. You know,

1419
01:14:08,560 --> 01:14:11,960
Speaker 1: in the passing game. It's satisfying, isn't it. It's a

1420
01:14:12,000 --> 01:14:14,439
Speaker 1: well built team. If you sit there as a fan

1421
01:14:14,560 --> 01:14:17,680
Speaker 1: or as a media member, it all works. And I

1422
01:14:17,800 --> 01:14:21,000
Speaker 1: really think the Digs thing as a difference maker. John

1423
01:14:21,040 --> 01:14:23,280
Speaker 1: brown is John Brownie. He does a lot of things

1424
01:14:23,280 --> 01:14:26,400
Speaker 1: really well. I don't think he's a superstar number one receiver.

1425
01:14:26,439 --> 01:14:28,680
Speaker 1: I don't think Cole Beasley is either. That's fine, not

1426
01:14:28,760 --> 01:14:32,200
Speaker 1: everybody is. But with Digs out there, it lets Smokey

1427
01:14:32,280 --> 01:14:34,519
Speaker 1: be Smokey. Let's Beasley do what he was born to

1428
01:14:34,560 --> 01:14:37,639
Speaker 1: do and not try to be something else. Everybody has

1429
01:14:37,680 --> 01:14:41,120
Speaker 1: their role. It's fits. It's like it's like a turnkey house.

1430
01:14:41,720 --> 01:14:45,000
Speaker 1: The kitchen has new countertops, the bathrooms are renovated. There's

1431
01:14:45,000 --> 01:14:48,320
Speaker 1: a walk in closet, arch ceilings in the living room

1432
01:14:48,360 --> 01:14:50,519
Speaker 1: that I look at the front office. This thing's going

1433
01:14:50,560 --> 01:14:52,840
Speaker 1: on for three years now, and I feel like they

1434
01:14:52,840 --> 01:14:55,360
Speaker 1: have it, including the running backs who are still getting going.

1435
01:14:55,800 --> 01:14:58,000
Speaker 1: I just think that the digs thing, it's It would

1436
01:14:58,000 --> 01:14:59,439
Speaker 1: be one thing if in the first couple of weeks

1437
01:14:59,439 --> 01:15:01,960
Speaker 1: Alan had a ones for a sixty yard touchdown, everybody

1438
01:15:02,000 --> 01:15:04,360
Speaker 1: out and on and they loved it. It's not been

1439
01:15:04,400 --> 01:15:10,400
Speaker 1: that eight catches. That's not just talents, that's chemistry, that's production.

1440
01:15:10,520 --> 01:15:12,800
Speaker 1: And that's in the craziest season of all times. So

1441
01:15:13,080 --> 01:15:15,679
Speaker 1: if they're already who gonna have eight times in one game? Now,

1442
01:15:15,920 --> 01:15:18,679
Speaker 1: what's it gonna look like in October and November. As

1443
01:15:18,720 --> 01:15:20,920
Speaker 1: you guys know, I don't call up and just say, oh,

1444
01:15:20,960 --> 01:15:23,200
Speaker 1: they're the best team of all time. They're definitely faulted,

1445
01:15:23,560 --> 01:15:26,000
Speaker 1: but I'm thrilled with how this Bills team looks now,

1446
01:15:26,040 --> 01:15:28,840
Speaker 1: because I feel like it's perfectly built. You cross your

1447
01:15:28,840 --> 01:15:31,320
Speaker 1: fingers and hope there's no major injuries, because God knows,

1448
01:15:31,320 --> 01:15:34,240
Speaker 1: the league at those this weekend. Right now, it's really

1449
01:15:34,320 --> 01:15:36,759
Speaker 1: really well built, and it's satisfying as hell to watch.

1450
01:15:36,960 --> 01:15:39,719
Speaker 1: How important is it? Do you think that the Bills

1451
01:15:39,760 --> 01:15:41,879
Speaker 1: have won these two games against the Jets and the Dolphins?

1452
01:15:41,880 --> 01:15:44,200
Speaker 1: And I get that line about who those guys aren't

1453
01:15:44,200 --> 01:15:47,559
Speaker 1: who those teams are, but they have won and they

1454
01:15:47,560 --> 01:15:49,960
Speaker 1: have not played their best. I mean, certainly it's been great,

1455
01:15:49,960 --> 01:15:52,280
Speaker 1: but a lot of it has been the improvement we've seen.

1456
01:15:52,800 --> 01:15:55,160
Speaker 1: It's not hasn't been about you know, fumbling twice in

1457
01:15:55,200 --> 01:15:58,040
Speaker 1: the red zone last week and fluttering the ball over

1458
01:15:58,080 --> 01:16:00,320
Speaker 1: a couple of touchdown passes in Week one, And it

1459
01:16:00,320 --> 01:16:02,639
Speaker 1: hasn't been about that. It's been about the improvement we've

1460
01:16:02,640 --> 01:16:05,160
Speaker 1: seen in other places. But they have not put together

1461
01:16:05,400 --> 01:16:07,599
Speaker 1: even close to a perfect game yet. The running game

1462
01:16:07,600 --> 01:16:09,840
Speaker 1: hasn't come around yet. Josh has missed some throws, he's

1463
01:16:09,880 --> 01:16:14,479
Speaker 1: fumbled the ball, they've turned it over. How gratifying or

1464
01:16:14,520 --> 01:16:17,639
Speaker 1: actually maybe comforting is it that they can win games

1465
01:16:17,640 --> 01:16:20,160
Speaker 1: while still not playing their best. Because I've said, we

1466
01:16:20,200 --> 01:16:22,479
Speaker 1: don't want to play their best in September. We want

1467
01:16:22,520 --> 01:16:27,400
Speaker 1: to play their best in November, December, January, especially this September, Steve,

1468
01:16:27,479 --> 01:16:30,120
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sure you agree. Right now, it's so

1469
01:16:30,360 --> 01:16:32,840
Speaker 1: wild wild West, and it's so throw the team together

1470
01:16:32,880 --> 01:16:35,120
Speaker 1: in the season, together as quick as possible to survive

1471
01:16:35,160 --> 01:16:38,120
Speaker 1: in advance. There are no style points now or ever.

1472
01:16:38,520 --> 01:16:41,800
Speaker 1: Stack wins. Once everybody starts playing really well. In a

1473
01:16:41,840 --> 01:16:44,160
Speaker 1: couple of months, some teams are gonna be two and

1474
01:16:44,240 --> 01:16:45,960
Speaker 1: five and they're finally gonna hit their striding. I can

1475
01:16:46,040 --> 01:16:49,360
Speaker 1: say it's too late. Who cares who fumbled Week one

1476
01:16:49,520 --> 01:16:52,040
Speaker 1: when you won? Who cares we didn't do this week two?

1477
01:16:52,560 --> 01:16:55,120
Speaker 1: Just stack wins right now. It's like storing away nuts

1478
01:16:55,120 --> 01:16:57,519
Speaker 1: for the winner. You're gonna need those things because there's

1479
01:16:57,520 --> 01:16:59,439
Speaker 1: some really good teams right now who I know are

1480
01:16:59,439 --> 01:17:02,360
Speaker 1: going to turn it around. For example, I really believe

1481
01:17:02,479 --> 01:17:05,439
Speaker 1: in Philadelphia. I think Doug Peterson's a great coach. I

1482
01:17:05,520 --> 01:17:08,360
Speaker 1: like how that team is built. They're struggling, they look terrible.

1483
01:17:08,560 --> 01:17:10,800
Speaker 1: I know they're gonna turn it around. But in the

1484
01:17:10,840 --> 01:17:13,480
Speaker 1: way this league works. Sorry, you lost twice in September,

1485
01:17:13,760 --> 01:17:15,880
Speaker 1: so you've finished eight and eight. You don't make the playoffs.

1486
01:17:16,080 --> 01:17:19,559
Speaker 1: The Bills don't have that problem. Neither do the Raiders.

1487
01:17:19,680 --> 01:17:22,040
Speaker 1: I don't think the Raiders are gonna go fourteen and two.

1488
01:17:22,360 --> 01:17:24,479
Speaker 1: But they got these two wins early, and when everybody

1489
01:17:24,479 --> 01:17:26,160
Speaker 1: else starts playing, well they got it's like their Free

1490
01:17:26,200 --> 01:17:28,760
Speaker 1: Spins and Wheel of Fortune. Sorry, we got these two

1491
01:17:28,760 --> 01:17:30,800
Speaker 1: months ago. We're gonna cast them in. I don't care

1492
01:17:30,800 --> 01:17:33,040
Speaker 1: how anybody looks now. What looks good is two and

1493
01:17:33,120 --> 01:17:36,080
Speaker 1: oh yeah. And then taking it a step further to

1494
01:17:36,160 --> 01:17:39,479
Speaker 1: this weekend, and this was this was a matchup I

1495
01:17:39,520 --> 01:17:41,960
Speaker 1: wanted your take on because you know, you'd expect to

1496
01:17:42,000 --> 01:17:44,000
Speaker 1: see these guys in a lip sync battle just as

1497
01:17:44,040 --> 01:17:46,000
Speaker 1: soon as you'd see them lining up across from each

1498
01:17:46,040 --> 01:17:48,439
Speaker 1: other in the game this weekend. But Jalen Ramsey and

1499
01:17:48,479 --> 01:17:51,400
Speaker 1: Stefan Diggs, two guys who are not shy about, you know,

1500
01:17:51,560 --> 01:17:54,759
Speaker 1: running their mouth on the field, These two guys across

1501
01:17:54,800 --> 01:17:56,559
Speaker 1: from each other. I mean, this might be better than

1502
01:17:56,680 --> 01:17:58,920
Speaker 1: any soap oper or your wife likes right now, because

1503
01:17:59,240 --> 01:18:01,920
Speaker 1: I mean that could be something special. Your just your

1504
01:18:01,960 --> 01:18:05,200
Speaker 1: thoughts on not only the talent that's facing each other there,

1505
01:18:06,120 --> 01:18:08,320
Speaker 1: but but the cache they'll probably have in their back

1506
01:18:08,360 --> 01:18:12,599
Speaker 1: pocket with rankout sessions. Well, I know a little bit

1507
01:18:12,600 --> 01:18:15,360
Speaker 1: about soap operas. I spent that's right, years on one

1508
01:18:15,360 --> 01:18:18,000
Speaker 1: of the two thousands. So one of the most popular

1509
01:18:18,040 --> 01:18:21,680
Speaker 1: storylines is the the evil twin. You know, when you

1510
01:18:21,800 --> 01:18:27,360
Speaker 1: have Marcy and Darcy or whatever, so you have instead

1511
01:18:27,400 --> 01:18:30,320
Speaker 1: of Marcy and Darcy, it's it's it's the fun and

1512
01:18:30,360 --> 01:18:33,080
Speaker 1: it's Jalen, who let's talk about it all right. They're

1513
01:18:33,080 --> 01:18:35,639
Speaker 1: both young, super talented players who are not on their

1514
01:18:35,640 --> 01:18:39,080
Speaker 1: original team. They've both been paid, they both like to talk.

1515
01:18:39,400 --> 01:18:42,880
Speaker 1: They both have shown frustration both with their teams and

1516
01:18:43,000 --> 01:18:45,600
Speaker 1: if they aren't playing particularly well. We like to do

1517
01:18:45,640 --> 01:18:48,280
Speaker 1: segments like good Morning Football about what's your favorite matchup

1518
01:18:48,320 --> 01:18:50,479
Speaker 1: of the week, and sometimes it's a running back versus

1519
01:18:50,520 --> 01:18:52,880
Speaker 1: a linebacker and so and so. It doesn't get much

1520
01:18:52,920 --> 01:18:55,679
Speaker 1: better than this, because if Diggs is having a quiet

1521
01:18:55,760 --> 01:18:57,280
Speaker 1: day and we're sitting in the fourth quarter, he's got

1522
01:18:57,280 --> 01:18:59,960
Speaker 1: one cat for nine yards, it's not necessarily I think

1523
01:19:00,080 --> 01:19:02,519
Speaker 1: he will tune out. So I think Jalen will turn

1524
01:19:02,640 --> 01:19:06,000
Speaker 1: up and let you know about it. Whereas listen, Jayalen,

1525
01:19:06,080 --> 01:19:08,639
Speaker 1: if you go back week one, I think Jaalen got

1526
01:19:08,680 --> 01:19:11,200
Speaker 1: a huge bailout. It was that Rams Cowboys game with

1527
01:19:11,240 --> 01:19:13,479
Speaker 1: the game on the line, and Dak went to Michael

1528
01:19:13,479 --> 01:19:15,840
Speaker 1: Gallup down the field. I caught it and they called

1529
01:19:15,840 --> 01:19:18,280
Speaker 1: the penalty and a push off. I thought it was dicey.

1530
01:19:18,600 --> 01:19:21,439
Speaker 1: I thought Jaalen got bailed out, so he can be beaten.

1531
01:19:21,880 --> 01:19:24,080
Speaker 1: And if we know one thing about Josh Allen, guys,

1532
01:19:24,200 --> 01:19:26,680
Speaker 1: anybody across the country, if they like Josh Allen, if

1533
01:19:26,680 --> 01:19:28,760
Speaker 1: they don't, I don't care. We can all agree that

1534
01:19:28,800 --> 01:19:32,479
Speaker 1: he is afraid of nothing and afraid of nothing, no player,

1535
01:19:32,720 --> 01:19:35,280
Speaker 1: no man, no woman, no child. I think he will

1536
01:19:35,320 --> 01:19:38,240
Speaker 1: try Jalen, and I think Jaalen can be got. Yeah.

1537
01:19:38,360 --> 01:19:40,519
Speaker 1: I can't wait to see the matchup. It's gonna be

1538
01:19:40,560 --> 01:19:42,479
Speaker 1: a lot of fun. I wish, you know, I wish

1539
01:19:42,479 --> 01:19:44,120
Speaker 1: there were fans in the stands so you can feel

1540
01:19:44,120 --> 01:19:47,639
Speaker 1: the electricity and feel the adrenaline. But as this early

1541
01:19:47,640 --> 01:19:49,519
Speaker 1: spot of the season, if we get underway, what has

1542
01:19:49,560 --> 01:19:53,720
Speaker 1: been some of your biggest surprises across the league? I mean,

1543
01:19:53,800 --> 01:19:58,280
Speaker 1: I know, I knew that New England was not gonna

1544
01:19:58,280 --> 01:20:00,559
Speaker 1: go anywhere. I knew that Bill Belichi was not in

1545
01:20:00,600 --> 01:20:02,840
Speaker 1: a closet in the fetal position. It was gonna say

1546
01:20:02,920 --> 01:20:05,160
Speaker 1: we're done for Tom's gone. I don't know what I'm

1547
01:20:05,160 --> 01:20:09,280
Speaker 1: gonna do. I knew the Patriots weren't going away. Is

1548
01:20:09,560 --> 01:20:14,120
Speaker 1: that a surprise to you a little bit? It's just listen,

1549
01:20:14,320 --> 01:20:16,160
Speaker 1: I didn't think they'd curl up and die. And I

1550
01:20:16,200 --> 01:20:18,200
Speaker 1: thought all the stuff it was laughable about, you know,

1551
01:20:18,280 --> 01:20:21,439
Speaker 1: Belichick's tanking for Trevor Lawrence. But I mean, I'd be

1552
01:20:21,520 --> 01:20:23,280
Speaker 1: lying if I said I thought Cam was gonna look

1553
01:20:23,280 --> 01:20:25,719
Speaker 1: this sharp, right, because this is what they really showed

1554
01:20:25,720 --> 01:20:27,679
Speaker 1: me in week two, And all the Patriots stuff always

1555
01:20:27,680 --> 01:20:31,559
Speaker 1: reverberates where you guys are. Week one, Miami is not

1556
01:20:31,680 --> 01:20:33,840
Speaker 1: very good, as Buffalo's found out, and they just ran

1557
01:20:33,960 --> 01:20:37,439
Speaker 1: CaMLA crazy And my thought was, Okay, that's impressive, but

1558
01:20:37,479 --> 01:20:40,679
Speaker 1: it's not sustainable. What's gonna happen when Cam gets down?

1559
01:20:40,760 --> 01:20:43,479
Speaker 1: When they're down two scores, you can't just do student

1560
01:20:43,520 --> 01:20:46,519
Speaker 1: body left? And sure enough, Russell Wilson had them down

1561
01:20:46,600 --> 01:20:49,320
Speaker 1: two scores and Cam started throwing it. Julian Edelman had

1562
01:20:49,320 --> 01:20:51,719
Speaker 1: I think about one hundred and eighty yards receiving this week,

1563
01:20:51,920 --> 01:20:55,240
Speaker 1: Cam was throwing for nearly four hundred yards. They showed

1564
01:20:55,280 --> 01:20:58,800
Speaker 1: both this was not just some snowplow that Camp could

1565
01:20:58,880 --> 01:21:00,960
Speaker 1: run through people. They did it at all, and they

1566
01:21:01,000 --> 01:21:03,400
Speaker 1: did it with the same receivers that Tom Brady failed

1567
01:21:03,400 --> 01:21:06,799
Speaker 1: with last year. They did not add a Stefan Diggs

1568
01:21:07,080 --> 01:21:09,759
Speaker 1: or Rob Gronkowski. This was pretty much the same deal.

1569
01:21:10,200 --> 01:21:13,240
Speaker 1: So I'm very I'm not surprised that the Patriots are relevant,

1570
01:21:13,479 --> 01:21:16,680
Speaker 1: but I'm I am surprised how good Cam is. And

1571
01:21:16,760 --> 01:21:18,920
Speaker 1: you start to answer the question now, the question this

1572
01:21:18,960 --> 01:21:21,800
Speaker 1: week after two and oh is why in the hell

1573
01:21:21,920 --> 01:21:24,360
Speaker 1: is it always the Patriots who gets the guy? Why

1574
01:21:24,400 --> 01:21:27,000
Speaker 1: did they get Randy Moss, Why did they get the Freezer?

1575
01:21:27,040 --> 01:21:30,599
Speaker 1: Why Kit's any other team have gone for Cam, whether

1576
01:21:30,640 --> 01:21:34,200
Speaker 1: it was Chicago or Carolina or you just keep Caroline,

1577
01:21:34,280 --> 01:21:36,400
Speaker 1: keep them. And I don't know. I would wonder if

1578
01:21:36,520 --> 01:21:39,120
Speaker 1: your viewers and your listeners are they already entertaining the

1579
01:21:39,160 --> 01:21:42,120
Speaker 1: idea that, oh my gosh, we finally got rid of

1580
01:21:42,160 --> 01:21:44,840
Speaker 1: Tom Brady after twenty years, and now we're gonna be

1581
01:21:44,880 --> 01:21:47,639
Speaker 1: sitting here in five years of Cam Newton. It happened again.

1582
01:21:47,760 --> 01:21:50,519
Speaker 1: There was no warm up right now through two weeks.

1583
01:21:51,120 --> 01:21:53,440
Speaker 1: I mean, I would give Cam Newton an a minus

1584
01:21:53,439 --> 01:21:55,599
Speaker 1: and how good he looks, and I feel like, right

1585
01:21:55,600 --> 01:21:57,240
Speaker 1: now it's just gonna be the same as last year.

1586
01:21:57,479 --> 01:21:59,840
Speaker 1: Bill's patriots are gonna meet and they're gonna side who

1587
01:21:59,800 --> 01:22:01,960
Speaker 1: want the East and last year that Bills couldn't get

1588
01:22:01,960 --> 01:22:03,840
Speaker 1: it done right. I want to go to the bottom

1589
01:22:03,880 --> 01:22:06,960
Speaker 1: of the barrel now here in the NFL. Being a

1590
01:22:07,000 --> 01:22:09,439
Speaker 1: Long Island native, I still on mondays look at the

1591
01:22:09,439 --> 01:22:12,599
Speaker 1: New York Post back page to see what fun they've

1592
01:22:12,600 --> 01:22:15,679
Speaker 1: cooked up each and every week. And I can't imagine

1593
01:22:15,720 --> 01:22:17,840
Speaker 1: where it is right now with respect to the Jets

1594
01:22:17,840 --> 01:22:20,559
Speaker 1: and the Giants. The Giants because of who they've lost

1595
01:22:20,600 --> 01:22:23,200
Speaker 1: in sae Quon Barkley for the year. The Jets because

1596
01:22:23,200 --> 01:22:25,559
Speaker 1: they can't get out of their own way. How hot

1597
01:22:25,640 --> 01:22:29,200
Speaker 1: is the seat already for Adam Gasee? And are we

1598
01:22:29,400 --> 01:22:32,880
Speaker 1: are we on gase deathwatch here just yet? Because you're

1599
01:22:32,880 --> 01:22:35,200
Speaker 1: a little bit closer to the New York metropolitan area

1600
01:22:35,240 --> 01:22:38,880
Speaker 1: of the New York we are close. And I think

1601
01:22:38,920 --> 01:22:41,160
Speaker 1: that some of the New York papers have been waiting

1602
01:22:41,240 --> 01:22:43,719
Speaker 1: for gas deathwatch since he sat down for his opening

1603
01:22:43,720 --> 01:22:45,799
Speaker 1: press conference, and they couldn't wait to run those pictures

1604
01:22:45,800 --> 01:22:48,320
Speaker 1: of his bug eyes. But this is what I would say,

1605
01:22:48,640 --> 01:22:51,160
Speaker 1: The Jets already made their bed. Let's not forget and

1606
01:22:51,200 --> 01:22:53,840
Speaker 1: the Jets decided to trade the best player on their team.

1607
01:22:53,880 --> 01:22:56,320
Speaker 1: He plays for Seattle and his name's Jamal Adams. If

1608
01:22:56,320 --> 01:22:58,880
Speaker 1: you're gonna do that and everyone's gonna do a victory

1609
01:22:58,960 --> 01:23:01,599
Speaker 1: dance because you got a bunch of draft picks, that's great,

1610
01:23:01,920 --> 01:23:04,000
Speaker 1: but you're probably not going to compete this year. And

1611
01:23:04,000 --> 01:23:06,320
Speaker 1: we've seen Jamal Adams looks like the defensive player of

1612
01:23:06,320 --> 01:23:08,360
Speaker 1: the year through two weeks. He looks like a top

1613
01:23:08,400 --> 01:23:11,200
Speaker 1: ten player at any position in the NFL. Jets said

1614
01:23:11,240 --> 01:23:13,400
Speaker 1: get out of here. So I guess they have a

1615
01:23:13,400 --> 01:23:15,880
Speaker 1: better locker room now, congratulations, And they have a stack

1616
01:23:15,920 --> 01:23:19,200
Speaker 1: of draft picks that might amount to nothing. I don't

1617
01:23:19,200 --> 01:23:21,599
Speaker 1: even know how bad Adam Gays has been. He's been middling.

1618
01:23:21,680 --> 01:23:24,280
Speaker 1: They don't have much talent. Sam Darnold seems to be

1619
01:23:24,320 --> 01:23:27,360
Speaker 1: wasting away. I think the bigger tragedy is the Giants,

1620
01:23:27,840 --> 01:23:30,160
Speaker 1: because you feel terrible for them. They didn't trade their

1621
01:23:30,160 --> 01:23:31,880
Speaker 1: best player. They try to rally behind him, and he

1622
01:23:31,960 --> 01:23:35,160
Speaker 1: just tore his acl Whereas we were getting legitimate excitement

1623
01:23:35,200 --> 01:23:39,920
Speaker 1: in these parts, whether it be Long Island or Westchester, Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens,

1624
01:23:39,960 --> 01:23:41,880
Speaker 1: wherever it is, I thought the Giants were gonna do

1625
01:23:41,960 --> 01:23:45,320
Speaker 1: something this year. I bought into that Joe Judge running gasters,

1626
01:23:45,360 --> 01:23:47,479
Speaker 1: doing up downs, touch the line, and do it over

1627
01:23:47,520 --> 01:23:52,720
Speaker 1: again rhetoric. I liked it and through two weeks flat, emotionless,

1628
01:23:52,720 --> 01:23:55,240
Speaker 1: and now they lost their best players. So you want

1629
01:23:55,320 --> 01:23:57,120
Speaker 1: New York City to either be an A or an

1630
01:23:57,240 --> 01:23:59,840
Speaker 1: F for the entertainment value, and right now we know which.

1631
01:24:00,080 --> 01:24:03,000
Speaker 1: It is. One last thing for me that over the

1632
01:24:03,040 --> 01:24:05,120
Speaker 1: course of the weekend, one of the best games out there,

1633
01:24:05,120 --> 01:24:07,320
Speaker 1: one of the most exciting games with the Dallas Cowboys

1634
01:24:07,360 --> 01:24:10,559
Speaker 1: comeback over Atlanta and I and I was part of

1635
01:24:10,920 --> 01:24:12,439
Speaker 1: I was on the field, I had great seats for

1636
01:24:12,479 --> 01:24:14,400
Speaker 1: the greatest comeback of all time. I was standing on

1637
01:24:14,400 --> 01:24:17,519
Speaker 1: the side next tomorrow. I know what kind of thing

1638
01:24:17,600 --> 01:24:20,640
Speaker 1: that kind of that kind of spark a game like

1639
01:24:20,760 --> 01:24:22,360
Speaker 1: that can give a team. I mean they can think,

1640
01:24:22,400 --> 01:24:25,479
Speaker 1: hey man, we can do those do that that, you

1641
01:24:25,520 --> 01:24:29,679
Speaker 1: can do anything right exactly. So how important can Dallas

1642
01:24:29,840 --> 01:24:32,360
Speaker 1: be that team that gets a spark from that? What

1643
01:24:32,360 --> 01:24:34,719
Speaker 1: do you think that game coming back from a twenty

1644
01:24:34,720 --> 01:24:37,400
Speaker 1: point deficit to Atlanta Falcons can do for the Cowboys?

1645
01:24:37,400 --> 01:24:40,960
Speaker 1: And can the Cowboys be that good? I'm flattered to

1646
01:24:41,000 --> 01:24:43,040
Speaker 1: be asked the question about us, Steve, because I know

1647
01:24:43,120 --> 01:24:44,960
Speaker 1: the game you're talking about. It's one of my favorite

1648
01:24:44,960 --> 01:24:48,519
Speaker 1: games in NFL history. God bless Al del Greco wherever

1649
01:24:48,520 --> 01:24:51,160
Speaker 1: he is, probably on the golf course right now. After

1650
01:24:51,439 --> 01:24:54,439
Speaker 1: for him. I understand he's a great golfer. I'm the prompt,

1651
01:24:55,200 --> 01:24:58,040
Speaker 1: not his best day. I would just say this to you, Steve,

1652
01:24:58,080 --> 01:25:00,800
Speaker 1: that you not only were there for that. You don't

1653
01:25:00,840 --> 01:25:02,720
Speaker 1: say this because you're modest, but I've said it on

1654
01:25:02,720 --> 01:25:04,679
Speaker 1: the show before. I think you're the greatest special teams

1655
01:25:04,680 --> 01:25:06,640
Speaker 1: player in history. And if you're out there for the

1656
01:25:06,720 --> 01:25:09,680
Speaker 1: Atlanta Falcons and there's a ball spinning six inches from you,

1657
01:25:09,680 --> 01:25:13,640
Speaker 1: you're probably dive on it. And listen. I really like

1658
01:25:13,840 --> 01:25:16,920
Speaker 1: dan Quinn. I like all the Dimitrof, all those guys.

1659
01:25:17,080 --> 01:25:19,360
Speaker 1: That was a really bad look. You know, you asked

1660
01:25:19,360 --> 01:25:22,280
Speaker 1: the question after games like that, did the Cowboys win

1661
01:25:22,360 --> 01:25:24,360
Speaker 1: the game or did the Falcons blow it? The Falcons

1662
01:25:24,400 --> 01:25:28,200
Speaker 1: blew it resoundingly. Julio Jones drops an easy touchdown catch

1663
01:25:28,240 --> 01:25:31,920
Speaker 1: and then listen, I understand outside kicks get weird. It's

1664
01:25:31,920 --> 01:25:34,720
Speaker 1: a strange part of the game. The balls right in

1665
01:25:34,760 --> 01:25:37,320
Speaker 1: front of you and dan Quinson's insist that they knew

1666
01:25:37,360 --> 01:25:40,280
Speaker 1: what the rules were, insist that, as they call it

1667
01:25:40,320 --> 01:25:43,120
Speaker 1: the watermelon kick, that as the recovering team, you can

1668
01:25:43,240 --> 01:25:46,599
Speaker 1: recover before ten yards. So if they knew, then they

1669
01:25:46,640 --> 01:25:49,320
Speaker 1: just didn't have the onions to do it, or they froze,

1670
01:25:49,560 --> 01:25:51,960
Speaker 1: or they or they didn't have the spine. So they

1671
01:25:51,960 --> 01:25:56,599
Speaker 1: were either ill informed or afraid or both. Really bad look,

1672
01:25:57,360 --> 01:25:59,880
Speaker 1: and I just you didn't think anything the Falcons could

1673
01:25:59,880 --> 01:26:02,080
Speaker 1: do could ever approached twenty eight to three. I don't

1674
01:26:02,080 --> 01:26:03,599
Speaker 1: know if this is in the same address, but it's

1675
01:26:03,640 --> 01:26:06,320
Speaker 1: the same neighborhood. To your question, Steve, you would know

1676
01:26:06,360 --> 01:26:10,400
Speaker 1: better with this galvanized Dallas. Maybe Dallas did anything they

1677
01:26:10,400 --> 01:26:12,680
Speaker 1: couldn't have lose this game. They fumbled five times in

1678
01:26:12,760 --> 01:26:16,840
Speaker 1: the first quarter. It's this was a miracle. Now if

1679
01:26:16,880 --> 01:26:18,400
Speaker 1: they say, wow, we look death in the eye and

1680
01:26:18,439 --> 01:26:22,360
Speaker 1: are alive, I don't know. I just know that, my gosh,

1681
01:26:22,360 --> 01:26:24,639
Speaker 1: the Falcons. I wish they could happen to any other team.

1682
01:26:24,680 --> 01:26:27,519
Speaker 1: But this is a bad one, really bad, really and

1683
01:26:27,560 --> 01:26:29,519
Speaker 1: I'm sure you saw the status to how bad it

1684
01:26:29,600 --> 01:26:32,000
Speaker 1: is because the last I think, what is it teams

1685
01:26:32,000 --> 01:26:35,760
Speaker 1: with a twenty point lead, four hundred, no turnovers, four

1686
01:26:35,840 --> 01:26:40,599
Speaker 1: hundred and forty and oh four hun probably more because

1687
01:26:40,640 --> 01:26:44,200
Speaker 1: that STAD only goes back to nineteen twenty something. So well,

1688
01:26:44,240 --> 01:26:46,720
Speaker 1: I remember when twenty eight to three happened. The Patriots

1689
01:26:46,760 --> 01:26:48,559
Speaker 1: after they got their Super Bowl ring, put two hundred

1690
01:26:48,560 --> 01:26:50,720
Speaker 1: and eighty three stones and the ring. Let's put it

1691
01:26:50,760 --> 01:26:52,439
Speaker 1: this way, if the Cowboys were the Super Bowl, they

1692
01:26:52,439 --> 01:26:54,439
Speaker 1: could put four hundred and forty one stones and the

1693
01:26:54,560 --> 01:26:57,880
Speaker 1: ring and they will last one four year. Kyle, real quick,

1694
01:26:57,880 --> 01:26:59,479
Speaker 1: I'm not going to ask you for a score prediction

1695
01:26:59,520 --> 01:27:02,479
Speaker 1: for this week for Bills Rams, but knowing that Jared

1696
01:27:02,520 --> 01:27:05,600
Speaker 1: Goff is averaging nine point three yards an attempt and

1697
01:27:05,760 --> 01:27:08,559
Speaker 1: Josh is averaging nine an attempt and they're both completing

1698
01:27:08,600 --> 01:27:11,080
Speaker 1: around seventy percent of their passes, are we taking the

1699
01:27:11,160 --> 01:27:16,679
Speaker 1: over this weekend? Yeah, you're taking the over. You're taking Listen.

1700
01:27:17,760 --> 01:27:19,640
Speaker 1: Jared Goff came out in completed thirteen in a row

1701
01:27:19,680 --> 01:27:21,840
Speaker 1: to start the game, and I don't care who you're playing,

1702
01:27:22,200 --> 01:27:25,600
Speaker 1: I don't care if you're playing UCLA. That was really impressive.

1703
01:27:26,280 --> 01:27:27,599
Speaker 1: Not a lot of people did this, and I don't

1704
01:27:27,600 --> 01:27:29,439
Speaker 1: like two to my own horn about picks because it

1705
01:27:29,479 --> 01:27:32,280
Speaker 1: just gets obnoxious. I picked the Rams to win the nfcust,

1706
01:27:32,360 --> 01:27:33,840
Speaker 1: which a lot of people thought was going to be

1707
01:27:33,880 --> 01:27:37,439
Speaker 1: the best division in the league. I don't underestimate McVeigh.

1708
01:27:37,640 --> 01:27:38,840
Speaker 1: You know, he goes to the super Bowl in the

1709
01:27:38,840 --> 01:27:40,600
Speaker 1: second year, has one year of setback, and all of

1710
01:27:40,640 --> 01:27:42,960
Speaker 1: a sudden, he's Yesterday's news and everybody's thrown a party

1711
01:27:42,960 --> 01:27:47,000
Speaker 1: for Kingsbury and Pete Carroll and whatnot. Mcvays fantastic. Goff

1712
01:27:47,200 --> 01:27:50,680
Speaker 1: is really good. They took a year, changed some coordinators.

1713
01:27:50,920 --> 01:27:53,360
Speaker 1: Listen of all these next three games, so I could

1714
01:27:53,360 --> 01:27:56,439
Speaker 1: never mind the Chiefs, Rams, Raiders, Titans. The Rams are

1715
01:27:56,439 --> 01:27:58,280
Speaker 1: the ones that scare me the most. For the Bills,

1716
01:27:58,560 --> 01:28:00,559
Speaker 1: I do think there will be a lot of point scored.

1717
01:28:00,840 --> 01:28:02,800
Speaker 1: I do think that the Bills are going to win,

1718
01:28:03,160 --> 01:28:04,760
Speaker 1: and I do think it'll be the over. You don't

1719
01:28:04,760 --> 01:28:06,439
Speaker 1: ask for a score. I don't have to be asked

1720
01:28:06,439 --> 01:28:09,080
Speaker 1: for one. Thirty to twenty Buffalo Bills to go three

1721
01:28:09,120 --> 01:28:11,439
Speaker 1: and oh wow, all right, man, it's great seeing you. Thanks,

1722
01:28:11,960 --> 01:28:14,439
Speaker 1: thanks for the time, have a great week. Bro. Can't wait. Guys,

1723
01:28:14,479 --> 01:28:16,479
Speaker 1: We're gonna get you some scepters by the end of

1724
01:28:16,479 --> 01:28:18,559
Speaker 1: the season. I'm ready, man, I'll be walking around with

1725
01:28:18,560 --> 01:28:22,320
Speaker 1: that on Halloween. You're kidding me. Kyle Brand from Good

1726
01:28:22,320 --> 01:28:26,240
Speaker 1: Morning Football. Always fun to talk to him and talk

1727
01:28:26,280 --> 01:28:28,439
Speaker 1: the league in general and the Bills for that matter.

1728
01:28:28,520 --> 01:28:30,200
Speaker 1: But it's nice to talk to somebody who does this

1729
01:28:30,280 --> 01:28:32,840
Speaker 1: every day like we do. I mean, he's we talk

1730
01:28:32,920 --> 01:28:35,040
Speaker 1: about everything in the NFL we can possibly think of,

1731
01:28:35,040 --> 01:28:36,680
Speaker 1: and so does he every day, so it's fun to

1732
01:28:36,680 --> 01:28:38,280
Speaker 1: get him on. All Right, we gotta take a break,

1733
01:28:38,280 --> 01:28:40,040
Speaker 1: but when we come back, more of your thoughts on

1734
01:28:40,080 --> 01:28:42,400
Speaker 1: the tweet sheet about what part of Josh Allen's game

1735
01:28:42,479 --> 01:28:45,000
Speaker 1: you think has changed the most. We'll get more of

1736
01:28:45,040 --> 01:28:47,519
Speaker 1: your thoughts there. Here on One Bills Live presented by

1737
01:28:47,600 --> 01:29:04,600
Speaker 1: Kali to help this is Buffalo Bills Radio had on

1738
01:29:04,680 --> 01:29:08,000
Speaker 1: One Bills Live first Round Steve Tasker, and it's that

1739
01:29:08,120 --> 01:29:11,000
Speaker 1: time for Inside the Numbers, brought to you by the

Speaker 1: million dollars. Must be eighteen years or older to purchase

1743
01:29:19,640 --> 01:29:22,880
Speaker 1: a lottery ticket. Buffalo's three hundred and forty two total

1744
01:29:22,960 --> 01:29:25,880
Speaker 1: yards in the first half of Sunday's game against the

1745
01:29:25,920 --> 01:29:28,960
Speaker 1: Dolphins are the most by the Bills since the two

1746
01:29:29,080 --> 01:29:33,080
Speaker 1: thousand season. The bills previous high was back in that

1747
01:29:33,120 --> 01:29:36,759
Speaker 1: season finale against Seattle, and I was at that game, Steve,

1748
01:29:37,560 --> 01:29:42,480
Speaker 1: And that was in between the time that the Kingdome

1749
01:29:42,560 --> 01:29:46,839
Speaker 1: had been raised and they were building Seattle's new stadium,

1750
01:29:47,320 --> 01:29:53,200
Speaker 1: Husky Stadium, and it was boring. It was a Sunday

1751
01:29:53,280 --> 01:29:57,439
Speaker 1: night game, December twenty third, I want to say. It

1752
01:29:57,680 --> 01:30:01,160
Speaker 1: was coming down in sheet and they put three thirty

1753
01:30:01,160 --> 01:30:03,680
Speaker 1: two up on in the first half. It was an

1754
01:30:03,680 --> 01:30:07,520
Speaker 1: old school turf field, so footing wasn't really all that compromise.

1755
01:30:07,600 --> 01:30:11,479
Speaker 1: I played on in college, so yeah, and Antoine Smith

1756
01:30:11,520 --> 01:30:14,639
Speaker 1: went wild. Flutie was thrown it all over the yard,

1757
01:30:14,680 --> 01:30:16,360
Speaker 1: and I think he knew it was his last game

1758
01:30:16,360 --> 01:30:19,160
Speaker 1: in a Bill's uniform, so so he's gonna show him

1759
01:30:19,200 --> 01:30:22,799
Speaker 1: one more time. I am so old, we say two thys.

1760
01:30:22,800 --> 01:30:26,400
Speaker 1: It doesn't seem that long ago. Yeah, two decades. It

1761
01:30:26,560 --> 01:30:29,680
Speaker 1: was like I was in broadcasting, Duke covering, you know.

1762
01:30:30,000 --> 01:30:31,679
Speaker 1: And it would also prove to be the last game

1763
01:30:31,680 --> 01:30:36,120
Speaker 1: Wade Phillips had his head coach, so the changing of

1764
01:30:36,160 --> 01:30:42,200
Speaker 1: the guard as we then entered the long hibernation of

1765
01:30:42,320 --> 01:30:47,280
Speaker 1: winning this It was tough. Those were lean years. Man lean. Indeed,

1766
01:30:48,560 --> 01:30:50,160
Speaker 1: we do want to get back to the tweet sheet

1767
01:30:50,240 --> 01:30:51,960
Speaker 1: quickly here before we have to break for the top

1768
01:30:51,960 --> 01:30:55,160
Speaker 1: of the hour. And I believe we were up to Max,

1769
01:30:55,800 --> 01:30:58,360
Speaker 1: who went asked what's the biggest difference in Josh Allen's

1770
01:30:58,400 --> 01:31:00,639
Speaker 1: game this year? He says, in my opinion, his confidence

1771
01:31:00,680 --> 01:31:03,599
Speaker 1: has always been undeniable, so I didn't consider that there's

1772
01:31:03,640 --> 01:31:06,160
Speaker 1: a case to be made for decision making, but that

1773
01:31:06,280 --> 01:31:09,519
Speaker 1: dramatically improved in the second half last year. In these

1774
01:31:09,560 --> 01:31:14,280
Speaker 1: first two games, ball location is the surefire selection. He

1775
01:31:14,360 --> 01:31:19,760
Speaker 1: hits the passes he used to miss. Good point he is.

1776
01:31:20,000 --> 01:31:21,960
Speaker 1: He's hitting the passes that he used to miss, and

1777
01:31:22,000 --> 01:31:25,959
Speaker 1: that's why his completion percentage is at seventy and seventies.

1778
01:31:26,040 --> 01:31:31,559
Speaker 1: Not you know, he was at fifty eight point fifty

1779
01:31:31,600 --> 01:31:34,280
Speaker 1: eight point eight, fifty eight point nine, So that's like

1780
01:31:35,760 --> 01:31:39,519
Speaker 1: it's not that many passes a game, but he's hitting

1781
01:31:39,520 --> 01:31:41,720
Speaker 1: all of them twelve percent of big It is a

1782
01:31:41,760 --> 01:31:44,120
Speaker 1: big jump because I don't know if he's gonna be

1783
01:31:44,120 --> 01:31:46,400
Speaker 1: able to sustain that. He might not, But as I

1784
01:31:46,439 --> 01:31:49,519
Speaker 1: said at the beginning before the year started, you know,

1785
01:31:49,640 --> 01:31:52,840
Speaker 1: he met from fifty two his rookie year to fifty eight.

1786
01:31:53,640 --> 01:31:55,400
Speaker 1: I was like, well, if he can make another six

1787
01:31:55,479 --> 01:31:58,679
Speaker 1: to seven percent jump, right, he's around sixty three percent,

1788
01:31:58,800 --> 01:32:00,800
Speaker 1: and with the plays he makes, with his legs and

1789
01:32:00,880 --> 01:32:03,479
Speaker 1: the defense this team has, they can win games like that.

1790
01:32:03,680 --> 01:32:07,680
Speaker 1: He's pretty far if he's at seventy one. Of the

1791
01:32:07,720 --> 01:32:10,559
Speaker 1: difference so too, is he's got another year under his

1792
01:32:10,600 --> 01:32:14,400
Speaker 1: belt he's making He does seem to have been making

1793
01:32:14,400 --> 01:32:17,920
Speaker 1: better decisions. I gotta say it. He does seem to

1794
01:32:17,960 --> 01:32:20,680
Speaker 1: be his offensive line he trusts a little more and

1795
01:32:20,760 --> 01:32:23,719
Speaker 1: certainly gets the Jets and the Dolphins. He had time

1796
01:32:23,720 --> 01:32:27,960
Speaker 1: to throw it, and you would think that that level

1797
01:32:28,000 --> 01:32:33,599
Speaker 1: of knowledge and comfort, given also the bigger windows we've

1798
01:32:33,600 --> 01:32:37,880
Speaker 1: been talking about, all of those things along with his

1799
01:32:37,920 --> 01:32:41,160
Speaker 1: own improvement, might have a little bit of an exponential

1800
01:32:41,240 --> 01:32:45,599
Speaker 1: jump rather than his improvement personally would be the five

1801
01:32:45,680 --> 01:32:48,679
Speaker 1: or six percent we're talking about. But at all those

1802
01:32:48,720 --> 01:32:52,840
Speaker 1: other stuff together, the clean pockets and the better receivers,

1803
01:32:53,280 --> 01:32:57,120
Speaker 1: not only are they better, the defenses are worse because

1804
01:32:57,160 --> 01:32:59,519
Speaker 1: they can't cover them, but you know, because they go

1805
01:32:59,600 --> 01:33:03,599
Speaker 1: deeper into the lineup. So maybe all that confluence of

1806
01:33:03,920 --> 01:33:06,800
Speaker 1: positive factors in this offense, with the guys around him

1807
01:33:06,800 --> 01:33:08,320
Speaker 1: and the way they're playing and the teams that they

1808
01:33:08,320 --> 01:33:11,000
Speaker 1: have played against. You know, maybe that does add up

1809
01:33:11,040 --> 01:33:14,559
Speaker 1: to a seventy percent completion. Obviously it does well in

1810
01:33:14,600 --> 01:33:16,400
Speaker 1: some way, shape or form. It does, because that's what

1811
01:33:16,439 --> 01:33:19,640
Speaker 1: the number is after two games, and we'll see. I

1812
01:33:19,640 --> 01:33:23,280
Speaker 1: don't want to explain it away, but I just want to,

1813
01:33:23,600 --> 01:33:26,000
Speaker 1: like everybody else, I'm well, okay, I gotta do it again.

1814
01:33:27,000 --> 01:33:28,559
Speaker 1: You know, that's what have you done for me, Lady

1815
01:33:28,600 --> 01:33:31,559
Speaker 1: the league. Let's not kid ourselves. That's exactly what it is.

1816
01:33:31,840 --> 01:33:34,720
Speaker 1: And Kyle Brand, our guest last hour, said, of these

1817
01:33:34,760 --> 01:33:37,400
Speaker 1: next four games, the Rams game concerns him the most.

1818
01:33:37,840 --> 01:33:42,879
Speaker 1: Between the Rams, the Raiders, the Titans, and then the Chiefs.

1819
01:33:42,880 --> 01:33:44,719
Speaker 1: He's like, let's just put the Chiefs on the shelf

1820
01:33:44,720 --> 01:33:47,320
Speaker 1: for a second. Of these next three he thinks the

1821
01:33:47,400 --> 01:33:49,240
Speaker 1: Rams is going to be the most challenging game, and

1822
01:33:49,640 --> 01:33:51,760
Speaker 1: I would tend to agree, because you're gonna have to

1823
01:33:51,880 --> 01:33:54,360
Speaker 1: keep up with them on the scoreboard, especially if Milano

1824
01:33:54,400 --> 01:33:56,960
Speaker 1: and Edmonds are still question marks for Sunday, which we'll

1825
01:33:56,960 --> 01:33:59,040
Speaker 1: find out more about tomorrow. All Right, we have to

1826
01:33:59,120 --> 01:34:00,760
Speaker 1: take a break, but when we come back, we will

1827
01:34:00,800 --> 01:34:03,639
Speaker 1: finally get to that sound we promised you from Brian

1828
01:34:03,720 --> 01:34:06,120
Speaker 1: Dable and Leslie Frasier, the two coordinators for the Bills,

1829
01:34:06,120 --> 01:34:08,840
Speaker 1: and their thoughts on what they've done so far on

1830
01:34:08,880 --> 01:34:11,680
Speaker 1: their respective sides of the ball and the preparations they

1831
01:34:11,720 --> 01:34:14,120
Speaker 1: need to make for this Rams team coming in this week.

1832
01:34:14,200 --> 01:34:16,040
Speaker 1: That's all coming up next here on One Bill's Live,

Speaker 1: That is your sports update from One Bill's Drive here

1872
01:36:35,240 --> 01:36:37,559
Speaker 1: on One Bills Live. Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you

1873
01:36:37,640 --> 01:36:40,240
Speaker 1: for our number three of the program. And Steve, we

1874
01:36:40,320 --> 01:36:43,679
Speaker 1: do want to get into some of the comments made

1875
01:36:43,720 --> 01:36:46,800
Speaker 1: by the Bills offensive and defensive coordinators. We do that.

1876
01:36:46,960 --> 01:36:48,559
Speaker 1: I don't want to get on don't want to sidetracks here,

1877
01:36:48,560 --> 01:36:49,880
Speaker 1: but that last thing he said in the in the

1878
01:36:49,960 --> 01:36:52,360
Speaker 1: update about the space mask and stuff. The coaches, you know,

1879
01:36:52,439 --> 01:36:54,479
Speaker 1: because it's spread of the COVID virus here, they're supposed

1880
01:36:54,479 --> 01:36:57,360
Speaker 1: to do it at the coaches probably may have access

1881
01:36:57,400 --> 01:36:59,120
Speaker 1: to these numbers. This is tweet just tweeted out by

1882
01:36:59,120 --> 01:37:02,040
Speaker 1: Sunday Night Football the latest round of National Football League testing.

1883
01:37:02,479 --> 01:37:04,120
Speaker 1: They give it to us by week. So from the

1884
01:37:04,200 --> 01:37:07,000
Speaker 1: thirteenth through the nineteenth are the latest round. We're just

1885
01:37:07,000 --> 01:37:11,560
Speaker 1: getting the numbers about it. From last week, fourteen thousand

1886
01:37:11,560 --> 01:37:14,400
Speaker 1: and seventy four total player tests they get tested every

1887
01:37:14,479 --> 01:37:18,000
Speaker 1: day to twenty four hundred and thirty eight players are

1888
01:37:18,040 --> 01:37:21,880
Speaker 1: part of that. Those testing results, zero players were tested

1889
01:37:21,920 --> 01:37:25,240
Speaker 1: positive and out of the fifty four hundred and seven

1890
01:37:25,479 --> 01:37:29,640
Speaker 1: staff members who were tested last week, five positive tests.

1891
01:37:29,680 --> 01:37:32,920
Speaker 1: Those five positives were completely isolated from the teams and

1892
01:37:33,080 --> 01:37:35,800
Speaker 1: sequestered away so that nobody else gets it. But as

1893
01:37:35,800 --> 01:37:38,719
Speaker 1: of now into week two of the National Football League season,

1894
01:37:38,960 --> 01:37:42,760
Speaker 1: zero zero players are being tested. Players and coaches are

1895
01:37:42,760 --> 01:37:46,120
Speaker 1: being tested. Zero positive tests for the last week. Keep

1896
01:37:46,120 --> 01:37:49,479
Speaker 1: your fingers now, let's yeah. So I'm so if you're

1897
01:37:49,479 --> 01:37:52,840
Speaker 1: gonna find the coaches for not wearing their masks, yeah,

1898
01:37:52,880 --> 01:37:57,040
Speaker 1: nobody going those sidelines is got the virus. So that's

1899
01:37:57,080 --> 01:37:58,919
Speaker 1: why you know, they might put get you some pushback,

1900
01:37:58,960 --> 01:38:00,920
Speaker 1: but you're gonna do it, do it, you know, So

1901
01:38:01,040 --> 01:38:02,439
Speaker 1: there you go. All right, Now, let's get to the sound.

1902
01:38:02,479 --> 01:38:04,800
Speaker 1: So we wanted to begin first with head coach Sean

1903
01:38:04,880 --> 01:38:07,400
Speaker 1: McDermott because at the end of the game against Miami,

1904
01:38:08,160 --> 01:38:11,400
Speaker 1: we saw some substitutions on the offensive line. We saw

1905
01:38:11,479 --> 01:38:13,559
Speaker 1: Cody Ford flip over to the left side for Quentin

1906
01:38:13,640 --> 01:38:16,200
Speaker 1: Spain at left guard, and we saw Brian Winters come

1907
01:38:16,240 --> 01:38:18,840
Speaker 1: on at right guard late in the game, and I

1908
01:38:18,960 --> 01:38:23,080
Speaker 1: initially just chalked it up as hey, it's eighty nine degrees,

1909
01:38:23,240 --> 01:38:25,639
Speaker 1: it's probably even hotter on the field, and the humidity

1910
01:38:25,760 --> 01:38:29,160
Speaker 1: is at seventy percent. They're just trying to keep guys

1911
01:38:29,160 --> 01:38:31,240
Speaker 1: as fresh as possible. Here late in the game. You

1912
01:38:31,320 --> 01:38:34,639
Speaker 1: got the big uglies. They perspire more than anybody else,

1913
01:38:34,760 --> 01:38:37,720
Speaker 1: lose more water weight than anybody else. So maybe they're

1914
01:38:37,720 --> 01:38:40,400
Speaker 1: feeling it more than anybody else. Maybe they're just subbing

1915
01:38:40,400 --> 01:38:44,080
Speaker 1: in to keep guys fresh. Well, here's coach McDermott on

1916
01:38:44,400 --> 01:38:47,200
Speaker 1: the offensive line substitutions late in the game and what

1917
01:38:47,320 --> 01:38:52,680
Speaker 1: it signifies from an offensive strategy standpoint, and looking at

1918
01:38:52,760 --> 01:38:55,479
Speaker 1: some things. You know, the first couple of weeks, three

1919
01:38:55,560 --> 01:38:57,160
Speaker 1: or four weeks, you're trying to find out who you

1920
01:38:57,200 --> 01:39:00,600
Speaker 1: are as a football team and what gives you the

1921
01:39:00,640 --> 01:39:04,280
Speaker 1: best chance to win against different matchups, different looks, and

1922
01:39:04,320 --> 01:39:06,839
Speaker 1: so I think that's where we are at some positions

1923
01:39:06,920 --> 01:39:09,479
Speaker 1: right now, in particular with that because we haven't had

1924
01:39:09,520 --> 01:39:14,040
Speaker 1: the preseason game preseason games to do that, so it

1925
01:39:14,080 --> 01:39:17,240
Speaker 1: looks like it's more than just trying to give a

1926
01:39:17,240 --> 01:39:21,519
Speaker 1: guy a blow. They're still looking at combinations out here. Now,

1927
01:39:22,040 --> 01:39:24,280
Speaker 1: now tell me this, Steve, tell me how you think

1928
01:39:24,280 --> 01:39:26,559
Speaker 1: of what you think of this theory. This is a

1929
01:39:26,640 --> 01:39:30,960
Speaker 1: team that has subscribed to a heavy rotation on the

1930
01:39:30,960 --> 01:39:33,840
Speaker 1: defensive line since coach McDermott has been here. It's part

1931
01:39:33,840 --> 01:39:37,679
Speaker 1: of the philosophy defensively. Rarely do we see that kind

1932
01:39:37,720 --> 01:39:40,760
Speaker 1: of an approach on an offensive line. But if they

1933
01:39:40,840 --> 01:39:45,840
Speaker 1: feel really good about seven of their top eight offensive

1934
01:39:45,880 --> 01:39:51,080
Speaker 1: linemen and don't see any noticeable drop off, whether it's

1935
01:39:51,120 --> 01:39:53,799
Speaker 1: player combinations here on the right side or the left side,

1936
01:39:54,120 --> 01:39:58,080
Speaker 1: whatever the case might be, do you think they could

1937
01:39:58,080 --> 01:40:02,320
Speaker 1: get to a place where granted, not as much as

1938
01:40:02,320 --> 01:40:04,360
Speaker 1: we see on the defensive line, but there could be

1939
01:40:04,439 --> 01:40:08,639
Speaker 1: some series of rotations at certain positions, in this case

1940
01:40:08,800 --> 01:40:12,600
Speaker 1: guard going forward. Yeah. And I conjectured during the broadcast

1941
01:40:12,640 --> 01:40:14,880
Speaker 1: on Sunday that that might have been part of the

1942
01:40:14,920 --> 01:40:19,000
Speaker 1: plan because of the heat, and plus it's being early

1943
01:40:19,040 --> 01:40:20,879
Speaker 1: in the season where these guys are trying to get acclimated.

1944
01:40:20,920 --> 01:40:23,559
Speaker 1: You don't want anybody to, you know, not that they would,

1945
01:40:23,560 --> 01:40:26,000
Speaker 1: But you know, could there be a philosophy or strategy

1946
01:40:26,040 --> 01:40:29,439
Speaker 1: element to this, Yes, because most teams are getting to

1947
01:40:29,439 --> 01:40:31,439
Speaker 1: the point where, if they've got quality players, they're going

1948
01:40:31,479 --> 01:40:33,720
Speaker 1: to rotate them through on the defensive line. And in

1949
01:40:33,760 --> 01:40:37,880
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter it gets it gets tough on an

1950
01:40:37,880 --> 01:40:40,759
Speaker 1: offensive line who's got the same five guys playing eighty

1951
01:40:40,760 --> 01:40:44,120
Speaker 1: five snaps or but to this point, say sixty snaps

1952
01:40:44,160 --> 01:40:46,240
Speaker 1: to that point, and they got fifteen snaps to go.

1953
01:40:47,040 --> 01:40:49,799
Speaker 1: Where you've got their playing against guys who have played

1954
01:40:50,160 --> 01:40:54,840
Speaker 1: twenty five or thirty snaps, that's a significant difference in

1955
01:40:54,920 --> 01:40:57,240
Speaker 1: the energy level you've got left to bring to the

1956
01:40:57,240 --> 01:40:58,840
Speaker 1: table later in the game when it's on the line.

1957
01:40:58,840 --> 01:41:01,559
Speaker 1: And I wonder if in some way it was an

1958
01:41:01,560 --> 01:41:05,240
Speaker 1: early look ahead to this week, because you know they're

1959
01:41:05,240 --> 01:41:07,479
Speaker 1: going to be running Aaron Donald up and down that line.

1960
01:41:07,479 --> 01:41:10,000
Speaker 1: He's lined up at end, he's lined up inside, he's

1961
01:41:10,040 --> 01:41:13,120
Speaker 1: lined up at Nos. Three technique, everything under the sun.

1962
01:41:13,760 --> 01:41:16,040
Speaker 1: And if you're going against the same five guys the

1963
01:41:16,040 --> 01:41:21,240
Speaker 1: whole game, you can set them up with a similar

1964
01:41:21,280 --> 01:41:23,519
Speaker 1: look that you had earlier in the game, and then

1965
01:41:23,960 --> 01:41:26,840
Speaker 1: you do something different and you win on that play. Well,

1966
01:41:26,840 --> 01:41:29,360
Speaker 1: if the offensive line is throwing new players at you too.

1967
01:41:29,760 --> 01:41:31,920
Speaker 1: Now you got to make an adjustment, don't you. As

1968
01:41:31,960 --> 01:41:34,160
Speaker 1: a defensive lineman. It's a great point. I hadn't thought

1969
01:41:34,200 --> 01:41:38,680
Speaker 1: about it from that side of it. I'm wondering. I'm

1970
01:41:38,680 --> 01:41:41,200
Speaker 1: wondering if the Bills, if they have part of their

1971
01:41:41,200 --> 01:41:43,439
Speaker 1: plan is to throw a couple of curveballs at this

1972
01:41:43,560 --> 01:41:47,280
Speaker 1: Ramsdy line, most notably Aaron Donald, so he can't really

1973
01:41:47,280 --> 01:41:50,720
Speaker 1: settle in and feel good about maybe setting somebody up. Now,

1974
01:41:51,000 --> 01:41:53,479
Speaker 1: let's be honest, Aaron Donald can probably beat any offensive

1975
01:41:53,479 --> 01:41:55,960
Speaker 1: lineman one on one in the entire league, with maybe

1976
01:41:56,000 --> 01:42:00,479
Speaker 1: a handful of exceptions. But I'm just wondering, as we

1977
01:42:00,560 --> 01:42:03,879
Speaker 1: move along here, there might be one or two guys

1978
01:42:03,960 --> 01:42:06,200
Speaker 1: that rotate in. I mean, the Bills weren't shy about

1979
01:42:06,200 --> 01:42:09,040
Speaker 1: doing that with Tie and Seki at right tackle last year,

1980
01:42:09,439 --> 01:42:12,400
Speaker 1: rotating him in with the rookie tackle Cody Ford. Might

1981
01:42:12,479 --> 01:42:14,880
Speaker 1: they do the same thing and have a three man

1982
01:42:15,000 --> 01:42:18,519
Speaker 1: rotation at guard. It's an interesting concept because it does

1983
01:42:18,680 --> 01:42:20,920
Speaker 1: you can you can picture yourself as as a player

1984
01:42:21,520 --> 01:42:23,120
Speaker 1: being down and you look up and you see this

1985
01:42:23,160 --> 01:42:25,320
Speaker 1: guy and you're you're getting kind of a feel for him,

1986
01:42:25,600 --> 01:42:27,400
Speaker 1: and you say Okay, I'm gonna try this on this guy.

1987
01:42:27,439 --> 01:42:28,559
Speaker 1: And you get up and you look and you put

1988
01:42:28,560 --> 01:42:29,880
Speaker 1: your hand in the dirt and you look up and

1989
01:42:29,880 --> 01:42:32,720
Speaker 1: it's different Jersey. Who's this guy? Then happened to me

1990
01:42:33,600 --> 01:42:36,680
Speaker 1: on an occasion where you get out there and you

1991
01:42:36,720 --> 01:42:38,240
Speaker 1: get in a stance and you look over there, it's

1992
01:42:38,280 --> 01:42:41,720
Speaker 1: like what happened to thirty two? Yeah, well who are you?

1993
01:42:41,960 --> 01:42:45,800
Speaker 1: Who are you? Right? And so you could see that,

1994
01:42:45,960 --> 01:42:48,320
Speaker 1: particularly a pass rusher where he's gonna set a guy

1995
01:42:48,400 --> 01:42:50,200
Speaker 1: up for a move and you go, okay, I got

1996
01:42:50,200 --> 01:42:51,680
Speaker 1: this guy set up. I'm gonna throw this at him.

1997
01:42:51,680 --> 01:42:52,600
Speaker 1: And you get up there and you look at it.

1998
01:42:52,640 --> 01:42:55,639
Speaker 1: You're looking into a different set of eyes right now.

1999
01:42:55,680 --> 01:42:59,639
Speaker 1: It's like, well, so that may give you deeper into

2000
01:42:59,680 --> 01:43:02,800
Speaker 1: the game a series or two before Aaron Donald can

2001
01:43:02,880 --> 01:43:05,080
Speaker 1: get to where he feels comfortable and setting guys up

2002
01:43:05,080 --> 01:43:07,519
Speaker 1: for pass rush. I'm saying, I think it's something to watch,

2003
01:43:07,680 --> 01:43:10,479
Speaker 1: and it's interesting to see if it continues and to

2004
01:43:10,560 --> 01:43:12,960
Speaker 1: see to what degree it continues. Here it was just

2005
01:43:13,439 --> 01:43:15,200
Speaker 1: it seemed like a throwaway thing at the end of

2006
01:43:15,240 --> 01:43:18,880
Speaker 1: the game. Maybe somebody was cramping, who knows. But if

2007
01:43:18,920 --> 01:43:22,240
Speaker 1: it continues again, this week, you know, with an A

2008
01:43:22,360 --> 01:43:26,000
Speaker 1: plus caliber talent like Donald part of the mix. I

2009
01:43:26,040 --> 01:43:27,960
Speaker 1: think it's gonna bear some watching here to see if

2010
01:43:27,960 --> 01:43:32,240
Speaker 1: philosophically the Bills feel there are some strategic advantages to

2011
01:43:32,360 --> 01:43:34,559
Speaker 1: doing that. Now, you have to feel good about all

2012
01:43:34,600 --> 01:43:37,240
Speaker 1: these players you're subbing in, because you have to believe

2013
01:43:37,680 --> 01:43:40,280
Speaker 1: they are the caliber of player to be a top

2014
01:43:40,320 --> 01:43:43,200
Speaker 1: five lineman and a starter. You have to be starting

2015
01:43:43,240 --> 01:43:45,559
Speaker 1: caliber in your mind to do this kind of a rotation.

2016
01:43:45,680 --> 01:43:48,160
Speaker 1: I think it's probably more likely, although all the stuff

2017
01:43:48,200 --> 01:43:50,760
Speaker 1: we're talking about makes sense. If indeed they've got seven

2018
01:43:50,840 --> 01:43:52,920
Speaker 1: or eight guys that they love and think you have Spain,

2019
01:43:53,080 --> 01:43:55,639
Speaker 1: Ford and Winters all have been starters in this league.

2020
01:43:55,680 --> 01:43:58,479
Speaker 1: The problem is, or the more likely scenario is, it's

2021
01:43:58,520 --> 01:44:00,200
Speaker 1: just what he said. Listen, we don't even know who

2022
01:44:00,200 --> 01:44:03,360
Speaker 1: these guys are yet our own guys. We don't know

2023
01:44:03,520 --> 01:44:07,839
Speaker 1: what best five suits us and you know, to their credit.

2024
01:44:08,120 --> 01:44:10,439
Speaker 1: And I'm not saying this is for ins. Say, for instance,

2025
01:44:10,439 --> 01:44:12,280
Speaker 1: people have been watching Cody Ford as e guard as

2026
01:44:12,320 --> 01:44:14,360
Speaker 1: attack last two. Now we're in, you know's in? Is

2027
01:44:14,439 --> 01:44:18,240
Speaker 1: what a nineteenth game coming up or twentieth game coming up?

2028
01:44:18,479 --> 01:44:21,160
Speaker 1: Maybe they're still you know, thinking about him, and it

2029
01:44:21,280 --> 01:44:25,800
Speaker 1: might be that Cody Ford is the sixth guy now

2030
01:44:26,360 --> 01:44:28,240
Speaker 1: and they have to come to grips with going you know,

2031
01:44:28,280 --> 01:44:29,680
Speaker 1: I don't We're gonna have to deal with this if

2032
01:44:29,760 --> 01:44:32,240
Speaker 1: if our second round pick from last year is not

2033
01:44:32,400 --> 01:44:34,720
Speaker 1: on the field all of a sudden, they'll probably get

2034
01:44:34,760 --> 01:44:40,519
Speaker 1: some pushback from that. Nevertheless, no one, Sean McDermot brand

2035
01:44:40,520 --> 01:44:45,559
Speaker 1: I mean they're like, sorry, Bro, sorry, Broy, exactly right.

2036
01:44:46,320 --> 01:44:49,000
Speaker 1: So all I'm saying is, you know, Brian Winters comes in,

2037
01:44:49,040 --> 01:44:50,960
Speaker 1: Hey the guy can play, let's put him in, or

2038
01:44:51,360 --> 01:44:55,479
Speaker 1: um Insecky and Darryl Williams and yeah, like whatever. I

2039
01:44:55,560 --> 01:44:57,760
Speaker 1: still think they're finding it out for that reason, not

2040
01:44:57,760 --> 01:44:59,360
Speaker 1: not so much that they have eight guys that they

2041
01:44:59,360 --> 01:45:01,360
Speaker 1: really trust. I think it's more about saying, listen, we

2042
01:45:01,360 --> 01:45:03,360
Speaker 1: gotta we don't even know yet. And the other thing

2043
01:45:03,400 --> 01:45:06,040
Speaker 1: that you have to factor in here, too is what's

2044
01:45:06,040 --> 01:45:08,000
Speaker 1: going to work in a given matchup. We know how

2045
01:45:08,439 --> 01:45:11,679
Speaker 1: matchup specific Dable is with his game plans. If you've

2046
01:45:11,680 --> 01:45:15,320
Speaker 1: got a defensive line that you believe you can outflank,

2047
01:45:15,360 --> 01:45:17,720
Speaker 1: if you have mobile guys up on your line, well,

2048
01:45:17,720 --> 01:45:20,280
Speaker 1: then Brian Winners and Cody Ford or your guards because

2049
01:45:20,320 --> 01:45:23,240
Speaker 1: they can get out and pull. The best of those three,

2050
01:45:23,360 --> 01:45:28,280
Speaker 1: Quentin Spain is probably the smallest of foot, he's a

2051
01:45:28,400 --> 01:45:32,639
Speaker 1: drive blocker, so it could come into game plan also,

2052
01:45:32,760 --> 01:45:35,599
Speaker 1: So it's something that certainly bears watching. And it's interesting

2053
01:45:35,640 --> 01:45:37,800
Speaker 1: too that the best pass rusher on the RAMS is

2054
01:45:37,800 --> 01:45:39,960
Speaker 1: a d tackle, not a defensive end, right, so you

2055
01:45:40,040 --> 01:45:44,479
Speaker 1: might need people anchoring bigger bodies and down inside. We

2056
01:45:44,520 --> 01:45:47,400
Speaker 1: do want to get to Brian Dable's comments. He had

2057
01:45:47,439 --> 01:45:52,360
Speaker 1: a comment on Stefan Diggs impact on this offense thus far,

2058
01:45:52,640 --> 01:45:55,559
Speaker 1: and he talks about the trickle down effect of Diggs

2059
01:45:56,200 --> 01:46:00,280
Speaker 1: on the rest of the unit. Said this before, I'm

2060
01:46:00,280 --> 01:46:05,160
Speaker 1: glad we have him. Um, he's he's a competitor man,

2061
01:46:05,360 --> 01:46:08,240
Speaker 1: he's a he's a good leader, and it's hard to

2062
01:46:08,320 --> 01:46:10,599
Speaker 1: lead when you first get to a to a spot.

2063
01:46:10,600 --> 01:46:12,479
Speaker 1: But you know, I'll just give you we have an

2064
01:46:12,520 --> 01:46:16,960
Speaker 1: unselfish group at the wide receiver position. We're you know,

2065
01:46:16,960 --> 01:46:19,400
Speaker 1: we're going and we're throwing the ball around a little

2066
01:46:19,439 --> 01:46:21,360
Speaker 1: bit here and there, and you know, Smoke gets on

2067
01:46:21,439 --> 01:46:24,479
Speaker 1: the headset with me. He said, keep feeding fourteen. Now

2068
01:46:24,560 --> 01:46:28,040
Speaker 1: that that's the type of guys you want to work with. Um,

2069
01:46:28,080 --> 01:46:29,720
Speaker 1: you know, then we get in at halftime and dig

2070
01:46:29,840 --> 01:46:31,600
Speaker 1: It's like, hey, we can get Smoke over here, we

2071
01:46:31,640 --> 01:46:33,559
Speaker 1: can get Bees over here, and they're like, just let's

2072
01:46:34,000 --> 01:46:36,040
Speaker 1: you know, they're they're they're working together and they're working

2073
01:46:36,080 --> 01:46:38,920
Speaker 1: for one another. And when you have a group of guys,

2074
01:46:38,960 --> 01:46:43,040
Speaker 1: particularly in that that room, that are unselfish like that, Um,

2075
01:46:44,479 --> 01:46:46,280
Speaker 1: you'd like to see that as a coach, you know,

2076
01:46:46,280 --> 01:46:49,759
Speaker 1: because there's one ball and and everybody wants it rightfully,

2077
01:46:49,760 --> 01:46:52,559
Speaker 1: so but for them to work together like that and

2078
01:46:52,640 --> 01:46:57,280
Speaker 1: kind of have each other's back. Um, you know, it's Diggs,

2079
01:46:57,320 --> 01:47:00,320
Speaker 1: it's Smoke, it's Bees, it's Gay that's learned from the guys.

2080
01:47:00,360 --> 01:47:02,400
Speaker 1: It's Isaiah, it's Dre when he has to go in

2081
01:47:02,600 --> 01:47:05,320
Speaker 1: and all this stuff. The fun group to work with.

2082
01:47:05,960 --> 01:47:09,360
Speaker 1: That doesn't happen everywhere in the league. At the receiver position, right,

2083
01:47:09,560 --> 01:47:12,120
Speaker 1: that does not happen everywhere in the league. That it's

2084
01:47:12,200 --> 01:47:14,960
Speaker 1: that's a special group if if that kind of stuff

2085
01:47:15,080 --> 01:47:17,240
Speaker 1: is going on, because that even in a week two,

2086
01:47:17,400 --> 01:47:19,400
Speaker 1: even in the group that I played with, it was

2087
01:47:19,439 --> 01:47:22,479
Speaker 1: going to super Bowls and all of that. Um, you know,

2088
01:47:22,479 --> 01:47:24,760
Speaker 1: there was never enough footballs to go around, you know,

2089
01:47:24,840 --> 01:47:31,200
Speaker 1: so um it I think that's kind of what the

2090
01:47:31,280 --> 01:47:34,920
Speaker 1: league has evolved too, because the margin of error across

2091
01:47:34,960 --> 01:47:38,320
Speaker 1: the National Football League it was small. When thirty years

2092
01:47:38,320 --> 01:47:41,040
Speaker 1: ago when I played, the margin of aera between the

2093
01:47:41,040 --> 01:47:44,920
Speaker 1: best teams and the worst teams was was bigger. And

2094
01:47:44,960 --> 01:47:47,479
Speaker 1: then you know, went through free agencies, and now you know,

2095
01:47:47,520 --> 01:47:49,439
Speaker 1: teams have gotten me able to get good quick at

2096
01:47:49,479 --> 01:47:52,639
Speaker 1: the margin of areas even smaller. And Marv Leeby said

2097
01:47:52,640 --> 01:47:54,880
Speaker 1: it one in a team meeting for us when we

2098
01:47:54,880 --> 01:47:58,120
Speaker 1: were winning close games, and you know, we're good team.

2099
01:47:58,760 --> 01:48:02,639
Speaker 1: So listen, guys, that the difference between the top team

2100
01:48:02,640 --> 01:48:04,360
Speaker 1: in the league and the bottom team in the league

2101
01:48:04,400 --> 01:48:08,559
Speaker 1: is about two percent. That's what we're talking about. Because

2102
01:48:08,880 --> 01:48:11,200
Speaker 1: and he was trying to motivate us to do everything

2103
01:48:11,240 --> 01:48:14,800
Speaker 1: we could and he said, listen, but inside that two

2104
01:48:14,880 --> 01:48:19,280
Speaker 1: percent is one hundred percent of the difference. So let's

2105
01:48:19,320 --> 01:48:23,080
Speaker 1: get it, you know. And that's where these guys got that.

2106
01:48:23,680 --> 01:48:25,360
Speaker 1: Oh they got it. I mean, you know, we went

2107
01:48:25,400 --> 01:48:27,720
Speaker 1: to four straight Super Bowls with that, right, So we

2108
01:48:27,720 --> 01:48:30,920
Speaker 1: were we were shaving off we were shaving off a

2109
01:48:30,960 --> 01:48:34,559
Speaker 1: lot of fat every week, you know, and teams like that.

2110
01:48:34,680 --> 01:48:38,760
Speaker 1: Now the level the I guess most of it is

2111
01:48:38,880 --> 01:48:42,960
Speaker 1: that the floor used to be way down here. Now

2112
01:48:43,000 --> 01:48:44,640
Speaker 1: the floor is not down there, it's up here. And

2113
01:48:44,680 --> 01:48:47,200
Speaker 1: those teams who put it together for a week, and

2114
01:48:47,360 --> 01:48:50,280
Speaker 1: we look at the Chargers, they lose their starting quarterback

2115
01:48:50,840 --> 01:48:54,839
Speaker 1: sixty seconds before they kick it off and take Kansas

2116
01:48:54,880 --> 01:48:56,879
Speaker 1: City to over and and they take them to overtime.

2117
01:48:57,960 --> 01:49:01,640
Speaker 1: The league is hard to win in man, so you

2118
01:49:01,720 --> 01:49:03,200
Speaker 1: do have to be hitting on all cylinders and have

2119
01:49:03,320 --> 01:49:05,800
Speaker 1: a group of receivers like the Bills have, where you

2120
01:49:05,800 --> 01:49:11,000
Speaker 1: don't have some guy coming over and pecking at the

2121
01:49:11,080 --> 01:49:12,640
Speaker 1: quarterback trying to get him to throw to him no

2122
01:49:12,680 --> 01:49:16,240
Speaker 1: matter what the play is right here, bro right. So

2123
01:49:18,400 --> 01:49:21,840
Speaker 1: it's a different world. It's a different world, and I

2124
01:49:21,880 --> 01:49:24,320
Speaker 1: think the Bills are, you know, on the right end

2125
01:49:24,360 --> 01:49:27,439
Speaker 1: of that equation. Yeah. Now this was interesting too because

2126
01:49:27,520 --> 01:49:31,800
Speaker 1: Brian Dable and Leslie Frasier both talked about making adjustments,

2127
01:49:32,400 --> 01:49:35,000
Speaker 1: and we know Brian Dabe's big on d game adjustments.

2128
01:49:35,560 --> 01:49:37,920
Speaker 1: Leslie Frasier, in the third year of this defense, feels

2129
01:49:37,960 --> 01:49:40,799
Speaker 1: comfortable making adjustments with his players who have largely stayed

2130
01:49:40,840 --> 01:49:42,920
Speaker 1: the same on that side of the ball. So we're

2131
01:49:42,920 --> 01:49:45,040
Speaker 1: going to play these two comments. We'll start with Dabele,

2132
01:49:45,560 --> 01:49:48,320
Speaker 1: who gave an interesting example when I asked him this

2133
01:49:48,439 --> 01:49:53,360
Speaker 1: question yesterday about the execution of this offense through two weeks.

2134
01:49:53,439 --> 01:49:55,599
Speaker 1: Is it all on the players? Obviously the coaches are

2135
01:49:55,600 --> 01:49:57,519
Speaker 1: trying to put them in good positions to win and

2136
01:49:57,560 --> 01:50:00,559
Speaker 1: be as successful as possible. But the exec usan has

2137
01:50:00,560 --> 01:50:03,120
Speaker 1: been close to airtight these first two weeks. So here's

2138
01:50:03,160 --> 01:50:07,680
Speaker 1: Brian Dable on that. I'll give the credits to the

2139
01:50:07,720 --> 01:50:09,839
Speaker 1: players that are out there doing it and the position

2140
01:50:09,880 --> 01:50:13,240
Speaker 1: coaches that are working with them each day. Um, you know,

2141
01:50:13,280 --> 01:50:16,160
Speaker 1: it's a's the ultimate team game. But at the end

2142
01:50:16,160 --> 01:50:18,960
Speaker 1: of the day, you know, you can You're only as

2143
01:50:19,000 --> 01:50:23,479
Speaker 1: good as the execution, and it's our job to give

2144
01:50:23,520 --> 01:50:25,280
Speaker 1: them the tools to go out there and do it.

2145
01:50:26,400 --> 01:50:28,000
Speaker 1: We have to try to do our best to put

2146
01:50:28,000 --> 01:50:30,280
Speaker 1: them in good position. But you know, credit to the the

2147
01:50:30,320 --> 01:50:33,360
Speaker 1: players are the ones that are working their tails off

2148
01:50:33,400 --> 01:50:36,040
Speaker 1: at practice and trying to get the details right and

2149
01:50:36,120 --> 01:50:41,000
Speaker 1: communicate with one another, you know, and making tiny little adjustments,

2150
01:50:41,240 --> 01:50:44,880
Speaker 1: you know, communicate with their coaches. I mean the play

2151
01:50:45,000 --> 01:50:49,360
Speaker 1: that that we hit Stephan early there in the fourth quarter,

2152
01:50:50,000 --> 01:50:53,439
Speaker 1: you know, we made a small little tweak to the play,

2153
01:50:53,840 --> 01:50:57,800
Speaker 1: you know, on a Friday, and then we we didn't

2154
01:50:57,800 --> 01:51:02,160
Speaker 1: really do it until a Saturday through and give credit

2155
01:51:02,200 --> 01:51:04,439
Speaker 1: to the position coaches and the players for you know,

2156
01:51:04,640 --> 01:51:06,360
Speaker 1: we had it one way and then we just you know,

2157
01:51:06,360 --> 01:51:08,679
Speaker 1: we talked about it on a Friday after practice, didn't

2158
01:51:08,720 --> 01:51:11,240
Speaker 1: even really get to practice it the way we did it,

2159
01:51:11,280 --> 01:51:14,000
Speaker 1: but the communication was there on Saturday and walk through

2160
01:51:14,360 --> 01:51:16,280
Speaker 1: to feel confident enough to go ahead and pull the

2161
01:51:16,280 --> 01:51:18,439
Speaker 1: trigger because they were on the same page. It's a

2162
01:51:18,439 --> 01:51:22,439
Speaker 1: fun group to work with. Group that knows we got

2163
01:51:22,439 --> 01:51:25,719
Speaker 1: a long way to go here, to keep getting better

2164
01:51:25,720 --> 01:51:27,800
Speaker 1: each day and try to meet the standard that we

2165
01:51:27,920 --> 01:51:32,679
Speaker 1: set for ourselves as a position group and as an offense,

2166
01:51:33,080 --> 01:51:34,519
Speaker 1: and certainly there are a lot of things we have

2167
01:51:34,600 --> 01:51:38,920
Speaker 1: to do better. This has to be where continuity and

2168
01:51:39,160 --> 01:51:44,280
Speaker 1: familiarity with the players around you carries the greatest advantages

2169
01:51:44,360 --> 01:51:48,160
Speaker 1: for a football team. Because to tweak a play that

2170
01:51:48,360 --> 01:51:52,440
Speaker 1: is clearly in the game plan somewhere on a Friday

2171
01:51:52,479 --> 01:51:55,360
Speaker 1: at the end of practice, when all the reps are

2172
01:51:55,360 --> 01:51:59,280
Speaker 1: over with and you walk through it on Saturday and

2173
01:51:59,320 --> 01:52:02,960
Speaker 1: communicate and talk about it, to dial it up on

2174
01:52:03,080 --> 01:52:07,960
Speaker 1: Sunday and what became a tight ball game and make

2175
01:52:08,000 --> 01:52:11,839
Speaker 1: it work. What does that say about where this offense

2176
01:52:11,960 --> 01:52:14,360
Speaker 1: is at You can't do that in your first year

2177
01:52:14,360 --> 01:52:16,920
Speaker 1: of an offense. It doesn't work as well, you don't

2178
01:52:16,920 --> 01:52:19,519
Speaker 1: feel as confident doing it. And Leslie Fraser said the

2179
01:52:19,560 --> 01:52:22,679
Speaker 1: same thing about the defense because he said he pulled

2180
01:52:22,720 --> 01:52:25,400
Speaker 1: Jordan Poyer off to the side because him and Hide

2181
01:52:25,400 --> 01:52:28,240
Speaker 1: are big give and take with Frasier during the games,

2182
01:52:28,840 --> 01:52:31,960
Speaker 1: and Frasier said, Hey, I'd like to do this and

2183
01:52:32,000 --> 01:52:34,720
Speaker 1: the next time we get this look, can we make

2184
01:52:34,760 --> 01:52:37,640
Speaker 1: this adjustment and make that work. And Poyer looked at

2185
01:52:37,680 --> 01:52:40,320
Speaker 1: him and said, yeah, we can do that if you

2186
01:52:40,360 --> 01:52:42,720
Speaker 1: want to do it that way. And the very next

2187
01:52:42,760 --> 01:52:45,240
Speaker 1: series it came up because Frasier thought we were gonna

2188
01:52:45,240 --> 01:52:46,920
Speaker 1: get they were gonna get that look again. They did.

2189
01:52:47,240 --> 01:52:49,400
Speaker 1: They made the adjustment and they executed the play and

2190
01:52:49,439 --> 01:52:51,720
Speaker 1: it went for a loss and the Dolphins ended up

2191
01:52:51,760 --> 01:52:55,000
Speaker 1: hunting after the Bills went back and took the lead again.

2192
01:52:55,080 --> 01:52:59,000
Speaker 1: So again, third year now fourth year in that defense,

2193
01:52:59,360 --> 01:53:02,559
Speaker 1: I mean, those are those are in game adjustments. Not

2194
01:53:02,680 --> 01:53:05,960
Speaker 1: for nothing, Steve, A lot of the coaches that came

2195
01:53:06,000 --> 01:53:08,840
Speaker 1: before this current regime, we didn't hear any talk about

2196
01:53:08,880 --> 01:53:12,080
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. Part of the reason why was

2197
01:53:12,120 --> 01:53:14,360
Speaker 1: because you had a new coach every two years, right,

2198
01:53:15,960 --> 01:53:20,439
Speaker 1: It's it's there's two things about this coaching staff that

2199
01:53:20,479 --> 01:53:22,600
Speaker 1: have become evident. One is what you just said in

2200
01:53:22,800 --> 01:53:27,840
Speaker 1: game on the fly adjustments as you go with the

2201
01:53:27,840 --> 01:53:31,000
Speaker 1: ability now, particularly with the continuities you mentioned, the ability

2202
01:53:31,040 --> 01:53:33,599
Speaker 1: to do it on the flying habit executed. Yeah, now,

2203
01:53:33,640 --> 01:53:35,600
Speaker 1: you can make those adjustments earlier. But if you know,

2204
01:53:35,600 --> 01:53:37,320
Speaker 1: if one guy or one of the key guys is

2205
01:53:37,320 --> 01:53:39,360
Speaker 1: not on the same page or misses that adjustment or

2206
01:53:39,400 --> 01:53:41,840
Speaker 1: doesn't run it quite right, well, who cares about the

2207
01:53:41,880 --> 01:53:45,200
Speaker 1: adjustments you made. It didn't work. But now with the

2208
01:53:45,200 --> 01:53:47,679
Speaker 1: continuity they've got and everybody being that to that level

2209
01:53:47,760 --> 01:53:49,479
Speaker 1: of knowledge in the offense or at least the guys

2210
01:53:49,520 --> 01:53:52,800
Speaker 1: involved and the defense, you can make those adjustments and

2211
01:53:52,840 --> 01:53:55,439
Speaker 1: there and like he said, they're executing at a higher level.

2212
01:53:56,560 --> 01:53:58,960
Speaker 1: That's one thing about this coaching staff I like. The

2213
01:53:59,040 --> 01:54:03,000
Speaker 1: second one is player to development. Players in the Buffalo

2214
01:54:03,000 --> 01:54:08,080
Speaker 1: Bills get better the longer they stay here and whatever,

2215
01:54:08,400 --> 01:54:12,799
Speaker 1: like Josh Allen, like Matt Milano, Tremaine Edmonds. The longer

2216
01:54:12,840 --> 01:54:16,120
Speaker 1: they play for the Buffalo Bills under this staff, the

2217
01:54:16,160 --> 01:54:18,200
Speaker 1: better they play and the closer they get to their

2218
01:54:18,240 --> 01:54:22,360
Speaker 1: full potential. Those two things about this coaching staff are

2219
01:54:22,400 --> 01:54:24,839
Speaker 1: what has set them apart and what made this franchise

2220
01:54:24,920 --> 01:54:26,400
Speaker 1: go from what it used to be to what it

2221
01:54:26,439 --> 01:54:31,440
Speaker 1: is today. That in that coaching staff, that is their contribution,

2222
01:54:31,479 --> 01:54:34,240
Speaker 1: I think in large measure as to why they've been successful.

2223
01:54:34,760 --> 01:54:36,960
Speaker 1: So two quick things here that we want to get

2224
01:54:37,000 --> 01:54:39,520
Speaker 1: you on the defensive side of the ball. Number one,

2225
01:54:40,040 --> 01:54:43,760
Speaker 1: Edmunds and Milano. I thought coach Fraser did an excellent

2226
01:54:43,840 --> 01:54:47,480
Speaker 1: job yesterday in his press conference with the media breaking

2227
01:54:47,520 --> 01:54:51,320
Speaker 1: down why Edmonds and Milano are so valuable within the

2228
01:54:51,360 --> 01:54:54,120
Speaker 1: scope of this defense. So let's get his comments on

2229
01:54:54,160 --> 01:54:58,880
Speaker 1: that here. Obviously, for Tremaine, you know he's the leader

2230
01:54:58,880 --> 01:55:02,200
Speaker 1: of our defenses the ways and it's playmaking ability as well.

2231
01:55:02,280 --> 01:55:05,120
Speaker 1: But with the both of them give us that is

2232
01:55:05,200 --> 01:55:08,440
Speaker 1: unique to some teams on defense, and then asking Football League,

2233
01:55:09,360 --> 01:55:13,000
Speaker 1: you can keep Tremaine in that on the field in

2234
01:55:13,080 --> 01:55:15,960
Speaker 1: all situations, you really don't have to substitute no matter

2235
01:55:16,200 --> 01:55:18,680
Speaker 1: what person their group another opponent puts on the field,

2236
01:55:19,120 --> 01:55:21,720
Speaker 1: and that gives us a unique quality that the match

2237
01:55:21,800 --> 01:55:24,640
Speaker 1: up ability that they both have the ability to be

2238
01:55:24,640 --> 01:55:27,240
Speaker 1: able to blitz them to be able to let them

2239
01:55:27,320 --> 01:55:31,480
Speaker 1: cover at times, or to drop back just and zone coverage.

2240
01:55:31,480 --> 01:55:36,400
Speaker 1: So that's that's unique, a unique skill set that they

2241
01:55:36,480 --> 01:55:40,680
Speaker 1: both have the ability to it all down still field

2242
01:55:40,720 --> 01:55:42,720
Speaker 1: and play at a high level where you don't have

2243
01:55:42,800 --> 01:55:45,839
Speaker 1: to bring in a filth or sixth corner at times

2244
01:55:45,880 --> 01:55:49,760
Speaker 1: to do something that Matt Milano is capable of doing

2245
01:55:49,840 --> 01:55:55,360
Speaker 1: or Tramaine gives you uncommon flexibility. Well. Plus, it makes

2246
01:55:55,360 --> 01:55:59,280
Speaker 1: it more difficult for an offense to decipher what you're

2247
01:55:59,320 --> 01:56:02,400
Speaker 1: going to do against their whatever personnel they put out.

2248
01:56:02,440 --> 01:56:05,000
Speaker 1: They say, they're not changing your personel. What are they

2249
01:56:05,000 --> 01:56:07,320
Speaker 1: gonna do? What personnel they gonna match us up with?

2250
01:56:07,400 --> 01:56:10,040
Speaker 1: If we come out in this and offensively and Ed okay,

2251
01:56:10,040 --> 01:56:11,280
Speaker 1: and then if we change it, what are they gonna

2252
01:56:11,280 --> 01:56:13,440
Speaker 1: bring out and edds okay, Let's try this. What if

2253
01:56:13,440 --> 01:56:15,520
Speaker 1: we come out in this? What are they gonna change? Right,

2254
01:56:15,640 --> 01:56:18,680
Speaker 1: that's a problem. That's a problem. Plus and here's another

2255
01:56:18,680 --> 01:56:21,280
Speaker 1: thing too, and this is another plus. The safeties behind

2256
01:56:21,360 --> 01:56:25,520
Speaker 1: them are doing something before the snap, and but what

2257
01:56:25,560 --> 01:56:29,280
Speaker 1: are they doing? Yeah, rights, not only do you not know,

2258
01:56:29,600 --> 01:56:31,760
Speaker 1: you don't get a key from who's on the field

2259
01:56:31,760 --> 01:56:36,640
Speaker 1: for the Bills. The safeties are up there doing what

2260
01:56:36,680 --> 01:56:39,720
Speaker 1: are they doing right. So it makes it really tough

2261
01:56:39,760 --> 01:56:43,400
Speaker 1: to decipher defensively what the Bills are gonna do because

2262
01:56:43,440 --> 01:56:45,800
Speaker 1: their personnel don't change as much as other teams do,

2263
01:56:45,880 --> 01:56:51,200
Speaker 1: and the safeties are in the back end. I mean,

2264
01:56:51,200 --> 01:56:54,240
Speaker 1: they're like, okay, okay, this is what it's gonna what.

2265
01:56:54,640 --> 01:56:57,400
Speaker 1: You know, the quarterbacks have no idea presnap what those

2266
01:56:57,400 --> 01:56:59,600
Speaker 1: safeties are gonna do, what the coverage is by their alignment,

2267
01:56:59,600 --> 01:57:02,760
Speaker 1: and those two aspects of it are a huge boo

2268
01:57:02,920 --> 01:57:05,960
Speaker 1: boost to this defense. Right now, we'll finish here with

2269
01:57:06,080 --> 01:57:09,640
Speaker 1: a player who was unquestionably targeted in the game. On Sunday,

2270
01:57:09,760 --> 01:57:12,960
Speaker 1: Levi Wallace and coach Fraser laid it out pretty plain

2271
01:57:13,040 --> 01:57:16,320
Speaker 1: and simple as to what Levi Wallace has to do

2272
01:57:16,440 --> 01:57:22,680
Speaker 1: to change that conversation in games going forward, in particularly

2273
01:57:22,680 --> 01:57:24,960
Speaker 1: matter in that second half seemed like they start targeting

2274
01:57:25,040 --> 01:57:28,400
Speaker 1: him and wanted the last couple of drives or coming

2275
01:57:28,440 --> 01:57:31,360
Speaker 1: out of a half. So you know, in Levi's case,

2276
01:57:31,440 --> 01:57:33,120
Speaker 1: when people are doing that, you know you got to

2277
01:57:33,120 --> 01:57:34,640
Speaker 1: make a play to get them off of you, and

2278
01:57:35,680 --> 01:57:37,960
Speaker 1: you know you've made a couple plays here and there,

2279
01:57:38,080 --> 01:57:40,880
Speaker 1: just got to consistently do that otherwise they're going to

2280
01:57:40,920 --> 01:57:44,760
Speaker 1: come out because they're gonna rarely target to Davis fibous reasons,

2281
01:57:45,080 --> 01:57:48,240
Speaker 1: and so a guy who's opposite Todavis is going to

2282
01:57:48,320 --> 01:57:50,720
Speaker 1: get to work and you have to know that going

2283
01:57:50,760 --> 01:57:53,440
Speaker 1: into the game and get to prepare mentally for that.

2284
01:57:53,920 --> 01:57:55,480
Speaker 1: And the only way to get them off of it's

2285
01:57:55,600 --> 01:57:58,160
Speaker 1: find a way to make some plays. You gotta, you

2286
01:57:58,440 --> 01:58:00,880
Speaker 1: gotta make that other side pay. That's where the rubber

2287
01:58:00,960 --> 01:58:04,760
Speaker 1: and I like the way Leslie put it. You gotta.

2288
01:58:05,040 --> 01:58:08,280
Speaker 1: It ain't easy, and when the rubber meets the road,

2289
01:58:08,280 --> 01:58:10,440
Speaker 1: it's up to you to get him off you. And

2290
01:58:10,560 --> 01:58:12,600
Speaker 1: Levine knows that. And we've seen we talked to Levin

2291
01:58:12,640 --> 01:58:15,840
Speaker 1: Might what a he's an outstanding guy and he understands

2292
01:58:15,840 --> 01:58:18,200
Speaker 1: it as much as anybody. If you want him to

2293
01:58:18,200 --> 01:58:21,480
Speaker 1: stop throwing at you, it's up to you. Doesn't mean

2294
01:58:21,520 --> 01:58:23,840
Speaker 1: it's easy, though, it ain't easy. Plus when you got

2295
01:58:23,840 --> 01:58:27,720
Speaker 1: you know, you got uh DeVante Parker coming at you,

2296
01:58:27,800 --> 01:58:29,800
Speaker 1: and he got Preston, William Preston, you know, he got

2297
01:58:29,800 --> 01:58:33,120
Speaker 1: some guys. Plus they're moving around to make sure that

2298
01:58:33,200 --> 01:58:34,800
Speaker 1: you're you know, isolated as much as you can with

2299
01:58:34,800 --> 01:58:39,120
Speaker 1: their formations and all that. So yeah, that you you

2300
01:58:39,120 --> 01:58:40,360
Speaker 1: get a little bit of the coach and you know

2301
01:58:40,360 --> 01:58:42,200
Speaker 1: about the football end of it. With a look you

2302
01:58:42,240 --> 01:58:44,960
Speaker 1: in the I say it's on you now let's go,

2303
01:58:45,160 --> 01:58:47,040
Speaker 1: you know. And that's this week it gets Robert Woods

2304
01:58:47,040 --> 01:58:50,200
Speaker 1: and another long, tall receiver in Josh Reynolds. That's right.

2305
01:58:50,600 --> 01:58:52,360
Speaker 1: So it's gonna be a lot of the sense. Never

2306
01:58:52,840 --> 01:58:55,000
Speaker 1: I don't care who it is. Never easy. It wasn't

2307
01:58:55,040 --> 01:58:56,920
Speaker 1: easy against the Jets, and it ain't gonna be. It

2308
01:58:56,960 --> 01:58:58,960
Speaker 1: wasn't easy against the Dolphins. It's not gonna certainly not

2309
01:58:59,000 --> 01:59:00,960
Speaker 1: gonna be easy against the Ram. All Right, we have

2310
01:59:01,000 --> 01:59:03,320
Speaker 1: to take a break. When we return, we are going

2311
01:59:03,400 --> 01:59:06,280
Speaker 1: to revisit the tweet sheets, see what your comments are

2312
01:59:06,280 --> 01:59:09,400
Speaker 1: on what you feel is the biggest change in Josh

2313
01:59:09,400 --> 01:59:12,240
Speaker 1: Allen's game. And we have time for a little bit

2314
01:59:12,240 --> 01:59:14,440
Speaker 1: of true falls. So we'll get to those things when

2315
01:59:14,480 --> 01:59:17,240
Speaker 1: we return. Here on One Bills Live presented by Kalida Health,

2316
01:59:17,440 --> 01:59:32,560
Speaker 1: this is Buffalo Bills Radio. Welcome back to one Bills five.

2317
01:59:32,680 --> 01:59:37,560
Speaker 1: Time Now for the reads Jens Milestones reads gens the

2318
01:59:37,600 --> 01:59:41,480
Speaker 1: official jeweler of the Buffalo Bills. Josh Allen has seven

2319
01:59:41,680 --> 01:59:47,520
Speaker 1: hundred plus passing yards, six touchdowns, no interceptions in the

2320
01:59:47,560 --> 01:59:50,480
Speaker 1: first two weeks of the season. Steve he joins only

2321
01:59:50,560 --> 01:59:53,120
Speaker 1: three other quarterbacks who accomplish these numbers to start an

2322
01:59:53,200 --> 01:59:56,320
Speaker 1: NFL season, Peyton Manning in twenty thirteen, Tom Brady in

2323
01:59:56,320 --> 02:00:00,000
Speaker 1: twenty fifteen, and Patrick Mahomes in twenty nineteen. Pretty good company.

2324
02:00:00,200 --> 02:00:03,320
Speaker 1: So Peyton Manning was the MVP that year. I think

2325
02:00:03,400 --> 02:00:05,240
Speaker 1: Tom Brady was He the MVP that year too, and

2326
02:00:05,320 --> 02:00:08,160
Speaker 1: Pats and PATL. Holmes won the Super Bowl from Pat

2327
02:00:08,200 --> 02:00:10,040
Speaker 1: Mahomes won the Super Bowl and won the MVP the

2328
02:00:10,040 --> 02:00:12,640
Speaker 1: previous year. Yeah, he was a super Bowl MVP in

2329
02:00:12,640 --> 02:00:14,600
Speaker 1: twenty night. Let's just pump the brakes and I'm not

2330
02:00:14,640 --> 02:00:16,840
Speaker 1: going down that road. Man. There's nothing but there's nothing

2331
02:00:16,880 --> 02:00:23,440
Speaker 1: but shame and despairing. Hold it, Hold it, Leosemite, Sam,

2332
02:00:23,480 --> 02:00:26,880
Speaker 1: therefore you hold up. We do want to revisit the

2333
02:00:26,920 --> 02:00:29,680
Speaker 1: tweet sheet, which is brought to you by Corrigan Moving Systems,

2334
02:00:29,680 --> 02:00:32,080
Speaker 1: the official equipment moving company of the Buffalo Bills. As

2335
02:00:32,080 --> 02:00:34,440
Speaker 1: we've been asking you what you think the biggest difference

2336
02:00:34,520 --> 02:00:37,720
Speaker 1: is in Josh Allen's game this year? How many have

2337
02:00:37,720 --> 02:00:39,880
Speaker 1: we got done? So where we atting? We're at number

2338
02:00:39,920 --> 02:00:43,240
Speaker 1: five here from Jeremy who says, I voted other. I

2339
02:00:43,280 --> 02:00:46,920
Speaker 1: think pass pro has been improved exponentially. He now has

2340
02:00:46,920 --> 02:00:49,160
Speaker 1: the time to set and make the right choice, not

2341
02:00:49,200 --> 02:00:51,280
Speaker 1: like the first two years where he was always throwing

2342
02:00:51,280 --> 02:00:55,840
Speaker 1: on his back foot. Also Stefan Diggs. Yeah, and I

2343
02:00:56,040 --> 02:00:58,200
Speaker 1: don't know how much it is. And I listen. I

2344
02:00:58,240 --> 02:00:59,800
Speaker 1: like the offensive line. I thought they were going to

2345
02:00:59,840 --> 02:01:01,600
Speaker 1: get better this year than they were a year ago.

2346
02:01:02,840 --> 02:01:04,840
Speaker 1: I don't know. I haven't heard him talk about how

2347
02:01:04,880 --> 02:01:06,680
Speaker 1: good or bad they are. Certainly the run game has

2348
02:01:06,720 --> 02:01:09,680
Speaker 1: not gotten on track, but it's a little more productive.

2349
02:01:09,760 --> 02:01:14,920
Speaker 1: Last week, Yes, Moss four point six. How good the

2350
02:01:15,000 --> 02:01:16,760
Speaker 1: Jets pass rushes? I don't know how the good the

2351
02:01:16,760 --> 02:01:19,240
Speaker 1: Dolphins pass rushes, But I don't know this. The Bill's

2352
02:01:19,280 --> 02:01:21,640
Speaker 1: offensive lines was better in the passing game than those

2353
02:01:21,680 --> 02:01:24,760
Speaker 1: two defensive fronts. Josh did have a lot of time.

2354
02:01:24,800 --> 02:01:27,040
Speaker 1: He has had a lot of clean pockets. He has

2355
02:01:27,120 --> 02:01:30,440
Speaker 1: done well standing back there, picking his spots and carving,

2356
02:01:30,880 --> 02:01:34,120
Speaker 1: particularly the Jets. I did see he was carving those guys. Yeah.

2357
02:01:34,160 --> 02:01:36,040
Speaker 1: I did see a number from week one that Josh

2358
02:01:36,040 --> 02:01:39,760
Speaker 1: Allen had three point one seven seconds on average to

2359
02:01:39,840 --> 02:01:42,520
Speaker 1: sit back there and throw the football, which doesn't sound

2360
02:01:42,600 --> 02:01:45,240
Speaker 1: like much, but it's a virtual eternity, right, plus an

2361
02:01:45,360 --> 02:01:48,040
Speaker 1: NFL turn plus he buys time. As we all know.

2362
02:01:48,080 --> 02:01:50,960
Speaker 1: I mean, the guy extends plays and those defensive backs

2363
02:01:50,960 --> 02:01:54,840
Speaker 1: are back there forget it. I mean, you can't cover

2364
02:01:54,920 --> 02:01:58,360
Speaker 1: for that long, particularly if he's got three point oh

2365
02:01:58,680 --> 02:02:01,640
Speaker 1: three points something something to throw from the pocket. Then

2366
02:02:01,640 --> 02:02:04,120
Speaker 1: he steps away from the pressures and extends it for

2367
02:02:04,160 --> 02:02:08,760
Speaker 1: another two and a half seconds. If that happens every

2368
02:02:08,800 --> 02:02:12,000
Speaker 1: single time it does happen, somebody is gonna be running open,

2369
02:02:13,120 --> 02:02:15,240
Speaker 1: and if Josh can find him, it's a it's a

2370
02:02:15,280 --> 02:02:18,640
Speaker 1: completion every single solitary time, and then most of those

2371
02:02:18,640 --> 02:02:21,040
Speaker 1: plays is gonna be a big play. Yeah. I mean

2372
02:02:21,040 --> 02:02:23,760
Speaker 1: that's I keep going back years and years and years

2373
02:02:23,760 --> 02:02:25,480
Speaker 1: ago now that I'm saying this because I'm an old man.

2374
02:02:25,520 --> 02:02:27,720
Speaker 1: When Ben Roethlisberger was a rookie and he got pushed

2375
02:02:27,720 --> 02:02:29,840
Speaker 1: into the lineup early, that is there. That was their

2376
02:02:30,000 --> 02:02:32,720
Speaker 1: entire passing offense. They were throwing a member seventeen times

2377
02:02:32,720 --> 02:02:36,120
Speaker 1: a game, twenty times a game. Ben Roethlisberger would drop back,

2378
02:02:37,040 --> 02:02:39,800
Speaker 1: let the play happen, have no idea what was going on?

2379
02:02:40,240 --> 02:02:43,560
Speaker 1: Yahood defense, right, so the pressure would finally get to him.

2380
02:02:43,600 --> 02:02:45,960
Speaker 1: He was so big, he pushed the pressure off, go

2381
02:02:46,040 --> 02:02:50,280
Speaker 1: to the same side as the pressure. Mike Wallace, Antonio Brown,

2382
02:02:50,320 --> 02:02:53,160
Speaker 1: whoever when that wasn't Antonio Brown, then Antonio Holmes and

2383
02:02:53,360 --> 02:02:56,360
Speaker 1: Hind's Ward whoever it was, would get open. He would

2384
02:02:56,520 --> 02:02:59,880
Speaker 1: because he can sling it, would throw it. Boom, big play,

2385
02:03:00,080 --> 02:03:02,640
Speaker 1: we win, let's go. That's how that was their passing

2386
02:03:02,640 --> 02:03:05,440
Speaker 1: on the number one running game and the Jerome Bettis

2387
02:03:05,480 --> 02:03:07,880
Speaker 1: and a defense that was top five best and the

2388
02:03:07,920 --> 02:03:10,200
Speaker 1: best offensive line. So he would stand it back there

2389
02:03:10,200 --> 02:03:15,800
Speaker 1: and let the play happen, extend it, make a big play,

2390
02:03:15,880 --> 02:03:17,640
Speaker 1: nick him for a first down or a touchdown or

2391
02:03:17,640 --> 02:03:20,720
Speaker 1: a long play. And that was their passing game. That

2392
02:03:20,800 --> 02:03:23,000
Speaker 1: was it. It wasn't like any of this dropped back

2393
02:03:23,040 --> 02:03:25,600
Speaker 1: three steps booms, quick slam, He didn't throw any of that.

2394
02:03:26,160 --> 02:03:31,040
Speaker 1: It was dropped back, escape pressure, extend the play, street ball,

2395
02:03:31,120 --> 02:03:35,160
Speaker 1: we win. That was it. And so when Josh does

2396
02:03:35,200 --> 02:03:39,760
Speaker 1: it here, I'm telling you though, that's when a defense

2397
02:03:40,920 --> 02:03:45,560
Speaker 1: just comes apart, powerless. It's it's just the defensive coordinators

2398
02:03:45,560 --> 02:03:47,800
Speaker 1: over there. It's like, what the hell do we do?

2399
02:03:47,960 --> 02:03:52,360
Speaker 1: You know, somebody tackle this guy. That's it. I mean,

2400
02:03:52,400 --> 02:03:55,960
Speaker 1: they just they there's nothing they can do. From Nick

2401
02:03:56,040 --> 02:03:59,400
Speaker 1: t on the tweet sheets tough call between ball location

2402
02:03:59,440 --> 02:04:02,360
Speaker 1: and decision making. And not to take anything away from

2403
02:04:02,440 --> 02:04:06,080
Speaker 1: Josh because he's amazing, but our pass blocking has been unbelievable.

2404
02:04:06,080 --> 02:04:08,040
Speaker 1: Another vote for the old line. If you give a

2405
02:04:08,120 --> 02:04:10,400
Speaker 1: QB and our caliber of receivers that much time to

2406
02:04:10,480 --> 02:04:12,360
Speaker 1: run their routes and get open, any QB can put

2407
02:04:12,440 --> 02:04:15,960
Speaker 1: up good numbers. Something too that there is there is

2408
02:04:16,000 --> 02:04:18,640
Speaker 1: some merit to that. As we even said last week.

2409
02:04:18,920 --> 02:04:21,880
Speaker 1: You know, based on last week's game, there is no

2410
02:04:22,000 --> 02:04:24,800
Speaker 1: corner in this entire league. I don't care how talented

2411
02:04:24,840 --> 02:04:27,400
Speaker 1: they are that can cover the caliber of receivers in

2412
02:04:27,440 --> 02:04:30,320
Speaker 1: this league for five seconds. It just can't happen. It

2413
02:04:30,360 --> 02:04:33,720
Speaker 1: can't happen. It's too hard, especially in a one on

2414
02:04:33,720 --> 02:04:37,040
Speaker 1: one situation. So if he's going to get that much time,

2415
02:04:37,160 --> 02:04:39,880
Speaker 1: or he's going to extend to play based on his

2416
02:04:40,160 --> 02:04:44,440
Speaker 1: maneuverability and mobility, it's going to be a problem for

2417
02:04:44,480 --> 02:04:47,720
Speaker 1: just about every defense they go against. Right, the question

2418
02:04:47,840 --> 02:04:50,760
Speaker 1: is do you have a pass rush potent enough to

2419
02:04:50,800 --> 02:04:54,760
Speaker 1: disrupt that time and shorten it considerably? Right, That's that's

2420
02:04:54,760 --> 02:04:57,280
Speaker 1: the only solution. Yeah, and this also I think This

2421
02:04:57,600 --> 02:05:00,560
Speaker 1: next tweet from Dragger is kind of where we're all

2422
02:05:00,560 --> 02:05:03,840
Speaker 1: sitting today, says Alan hasn't committed those what the heck

2423
02:05:03,840 --> 02:05:07,160
Speaker 1: are you doing throws that have been that I this

2424
02:05:07,200 --> 02:05:10,600
Speaker 1: guy has been highly critical of him for in the past.

2425
02:05:11,320 --> 02:05:13,320
Speaker 1: The Dolphins were a step up in terms of a

2426
02:05:13,360 --> 02:05:16,360
Speaker 1: secondary challenge, and he rose to the challenge. I'd like

2427
02:05:16,440 --> 02:05:18,680
Speaker 1: to see how he fares in the next four weeks, though,

2428
02:05:18,680 --> 02:05:21,839
Speaker 1: and that's all waiting on. That's a test we I agree,

2429
02:05:22,240 --> 02:05:25,200
Speaker 1: these next four games. He's not going to throw four

2430
02:05:25,280 --> 02:05:28,000
Speaker 1: hundred yards a year a week up, not in these

2431
02:05:28,040 --> 02:05:29,640
Speaker 1: next four games. And that's not going to be how

2432
02:05:29,680 --> 02:05:33,640
Speaker 1: you beat some of these teams. So how he plays

2433
02:05:33,720 --> 02:05:35,800
Speaker 1: within the game plan of what they're asking to do.

2434
02:05:35,880 --> 02:05:37,560
Speaker 1: What those game plans turn out to be, I have

2435
02:05:37,600 --> 02:05:41,680
Speaker 1: no idea, But if they can continue to execute whatever

2436
02:05:41,680 --> 02:05:43,760
Speaker 1: the game plan is as a high level like they have,

2437
02:05:44,720 --> 02:05:48,720
Speaker 1: and I think this is the crucial thing, Brownie, when

2438
02:05:48,760 --> 02:05:53,880
Speaker 1: it doesn't go well on any given play, if he

2439
02:05:53,920 --> 02:05:58,760
Speaker 1: can make chicken salad out of that, that's going to

2440
02:05:58,840 --> 02:06:02,720
Speaker 1: be the win loss. Because those other teams, I say

2441
02:06:02,760 --> 02:06:04,840
Speaker 1: it all the time, those other teams are on scholarship too,

2442
02:06:05,840 --> 02:06:08,720
Speaker 1: and they're gonna get some against you. How you handle

2443
02:06:08,800 --> 02:06:12,560
Speaker 1: those and can you overcome on is what the difference

2444
02:06:12,680 --> 02:06:15,000
Speaker 1: is going to be. They've got to continue to execute

2445
02:06:15,000 --> 02:06:16,600
Speaker 1: at a high level, Like we heard Brian Dables say

2446
02:06:16,600 --> 02:06:19,080
Speaker 1: a little earlier in the show, that's been a plus

2447
02:06:19,120 --> 02:06:21,480
Speaker 1: for them. And they've got a lot of guys playing

2448
02:06:21,480 --> 02:06:24,880
Speaker 1: at a high level of efficiency right now, and Josh

2449
02:06:24,920 --> 02:06:27,520
Speaker 1: not only is part of it, but he's also benefiting

2450
02:06:27,560 --> 02:06:31,200
Speaker 1: from it. Are you ready for a little true false? Steve?

2451
02:06:32,280 --> 02:06:34,600
Speaker 1: I am, okay, good, I'm ready because that's what we're

2452
02:06:34,640 --> 02:06:36,920
Speaker 1: doing now NFL True false brought to you by Yancy's

2453
02:06:36,960 --> 02:06:41,400
Speaker 1: Fancy New York's Artists and Cheese. And we begin with

2454
02:06:41,440 --> 02:06:45,680
Speaker 1: one Gardner Minshew Steve as the Jags are off to

2455
02:06:45,720 --> 02:06:48,520
Speaker 1: a decent start here this season and Minshew has been

2456
02:06:48,520 --> 02:06:53,400
Speaker 1: playing out of his mind, so true false. Despite the

2457
02:06:53,520 --> 02:06:57,280
Speaker 1: loss that the Jags suffered, we should look at Jags

2458
02:06:57,320 --> 02:07:03,440
Speaker 1: quarterback Gardner Minshew as a franchise quarterback. Do you need

2459
02:07:03,480 --> 02:07:06,360
Speaker 1: any numbers to fire off time I've seen? I mean,

2460
02:07:06,400 --> 02:07:09,680
Speaker 1: he's here's the thing he came into that he wasn't

2461
02:07:09,680 --> 02:07:12,840
Speaker 1: supposed to play, right YEA supposed to be Nick Foles show.

2462
02:07:13,120 --> 02:07:15,879
Speaker 1: He's a sixth round pick. So that's that's the physical

2463
02:07:15,920 --> 02:07:20,320
Speaker 1: traits you're talking about us. His arm isn't great, but

2464
02:07:20,400 --> 02:07:23,480
Speaker 1: the guy does throw with great touch, great anticipation. He's

2465
02:07:23,480 --> 02:07:26,600
Speaker 1: a little bit like Ryan Fitzpatrick to me, Okay, you

2466
02:07:26,640 --> 02:07:30,240
Speaker 1: know he's got he's a great decision maker, great execution

2467
02:07:30,920 --> 02:07:34,400
Speaker 1: um and just has a great feel for the game

2468
02:07:34,640 --> 02:07:38,720
Speaker 1: and he maximizes it. So I'll say, yeah, I think

2469
02:07:38,760 --> 02:07:40,840
Speaker 1: the guy's gonna hang around the National Football League for

2470
02:07:40,840 --> 02:07:42,960
Speaker 1: a long time. We've seen other guys like well, you know, Bryan,

2471
02:07:43,040 --> 02:07:46,760
Speaker 1: Ryan Fitzpatrick's perfect example. You know, you just guys come

2472
02:07:46,800 --> 02:07:50,080
Speaker 1: in and they overachieve. Kirk Cousins fourth round pick, same

2473
02:07:50,160 --> 02:07:52,760
Speaker 1: year they came out, the same team drafted RG three,

2474
02:07:52,800 --> 02:07:56,200
Speaker 1: they drafted Kirk Cousins, and Cousins is the one that's playing.

2475
02:07:57,080 --> 02:07:59,480
Speaker 1: So guys like this do slip through the cracks one

2476
02:07:59,480 --> 02:08:01,800
Speaker 1: time where they got what it takes from the neck up,

2477
02:08:02,440 --> 02:08:04,080
Speaker 1: but they don't have the physical traits like of a

2478
02:08:04,160 --> 02:08:07,480
Speaker 1: Josh Allen or or you know, Lamar Jackson or Deshaun

2479
02:08:07,520 --> 02:08:09,920
Speaker 1: Watson one of these other guys. So yeah, I'll say

2480
02:08:09,960 --> 02:08:12,680
Speaker 1: I'll give Gardner mentioned. I'm not I'm not caught up

2481
02:08:12,680 --> 02:08:15,880
Speaker 1: in tearing down other teams just because they're guys. You know,

2482
02:08:17,520 --> 02:08:19,840
Speaker 1: like you know a guy like Minshew, he's he's a

2483
02:08:19,840 --> 02:08:22,720
Speaker 1: good player. Yeah, I think he is a good player.

2484
02:08:23,320 --> 02:08:25,600
Speaker 1: I think he can be their franchise quarterback. I would

2485
02:08:25,600 --> 02:08:27,720
Speaker 1: certainly give him a ton of rope this year to

2486
02:08:27,840 --> 02:08:30,480
Speaker 1: prove that he can be that. Yeah. And I mean

2487
02:08:31,440 --> 02:08:33,280
Speaker 1: you're playing against a team that went to the AFC

2488
02:08:33,480 --> 02:08:37,000
Speaker 1: Championship game last week, and you're going toe to toe

2489
02:08:37,040 --> 02:08:41,000
Speaker 1: with those guys, you're making plays m and the week before.

2490
02:08:41,080 --> 02:08:44,959
Speaker 1: He's nineteen to twenty passing. I mean, he's remarkably efficient.

2491
02:08:45,040 --> 02:08:47,640
Speaker 1: And you can't sneeze an efficiency like that in a

2492
02:08:47,720 --> 02:08:51,240
Speaker 1: league that's as closely cut as you just outlined a

2493
02:08:51,280 --> 02:08:55,240
Speaker 1: couple of minutes ago. I mean, the margin of difference

2494
02:08:55,320 --> 02:08:56,960
Speaker 1: between the best team in the league and the last

2495
02:08:56,960 --> 02:09:00,080
Speaker 1: team in the league is not is not big. And

2496
02:09:00,120 --> 02:09:02,000
Speaker 1: if he can make these kinds of plays again some

2497
02:09:02,040 --> 02:09:05,160
Speaker 1: of the better teams in their division and conference, you

2498
02:09:05,200 --> 02:09:07,720
Speaker 1: gotta respect that. So I say true. Also, he may

2499
02:09:07,800 --> 02:09:09,840
Speaker 1: never be one of those guys that maybe can take

2500
02:09:09,880 --> 02:09:12,200
Speaker 1: a game over. He may be one of those guys

2501
02:09:12,240 --> 02:09:14,200
Speaker 1: kind of like Bernie Kozar used to be back in

2502
02:09:14,240 --> 02:09:16,280
Speaker 1: the day where no matter what you do, and Ryan

2503
02:09:16,280 --> 02:09:18,720
Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick was this way last week against the Bills. One

2504
02:09:18,760 --> 02:09:21,760
Speaker 1: of those guys that you're you're playing great, but that guy,

2505
02:09:21,800 --> 02:09:23,640
Speaker 1: if it's like a tennis match, every time you hit

2506
02:09:23,680 --> 02:09:26,520
Speaker 1: the smash overhead that's going deep, he puts it back

2507
02:09:26,520 --> 02:09:28,240
Speaker 1: into your side of the court. He's like, oh my gosh,

2508
02:09:28,240 --> 02:09:31,080
Speaker 1: here comes again. We gotta play again, right, You never

2509
02:09:31,200 --> 02:09:33,720
Speaker 1: put him away, so he while he may never be

2510
02:09:33,760 --> 02:09:36,320
Speaker 1: a guy like Josh Allen did and against the Dolphins

2511
02:09:36,360 --> 02:09:37,840
Speaker 1: a couple of times where he just takes it over

2512
02:09:38,280 --> 02:09:40,880
Speaker 1: so every time he snaps the ball, the guy's gonna

2513
02:09:41,000 --> 02:09:43,800
Speaker 1: kill you with it. He may be one of those

2514
02:09:43,840 --> 02:09:47,760
Speaker 1: guys that maximizes the guys around him every single snap.

2515
02:09:47,760 --> 02:09:49,640
Speaker 1: And I think Minhi's one of those guys. So I'll say, yeah,

2516
02:09:49,760 --> 02:09:51,920
Speaker 1: I'll give the guy to benefit of the doubt. True false.

2517
02:09:52,040 --> 02:09:54,560
Speaker 1: Number two Jets and Giants will finish first and second

2518
02:09:54,560 --> 02:09:59,160
Speaker 1: in the twenty twenty one NFL Draft. They're collectively oh

2519
02:09:59,240 --> 02:10:03,320
Speaker 1: and four right now, and the sky is falling in Gotham.

2520
02:10:03,440 --> 02:10:06,240
Speaker 1: What do you say there? Wow? Not for once first

2521
02:10:06,280 --> 02:10:08,480
Speaker 1: and second? No, I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say false.

2522
02:10:09,360 --> 02:10:12,120
Speaker 1: They they may be. They may be one and three

2523
02:10:12,320 --> 02:10:14,640
Speaker 1: or two and four or one you know what I mean,

2524
02:10:15,080 --> 02:10:17,760
Speaker 1: or you know, you know three and four. But no,

2525
02:10:17,800 --> 02:10:19,640
Speaker 1: they won't be one and two. And I don't you know.

2526
02:10:20,080 --> 02:10:23,200
Speaker 1: You still got the Lions out there. You got the

2527
02:10:23,280 --> 02:10:25,560
Speaker 1: Jets and not the Jet You got the Lions of Bears,

2528
02:10:25,600 --> 02:10:28,560
Speaker 1: you got. I think the Lions are in the mix.

2529
02:10:30,240 --> 02:10:32,280
Speaker 1: I don't know if there's too many other teams though, Steve,

2530
02:10:32,680 --> 02:10:36,760
Speaker 1: I really don't acts that are this devoid of talent.

2531
02:10:36,840 --> 02:10:40,440
Speaker 1: The Giants because of injury, the Jets because of opt

2532
02:10:40,480 --> 02:10:45,600
Speaker 1: outs and trades Carolina. They may struggle. Yeah, um, but

2533
02:10:45,680 --> 02:10:48,640
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think it could be true. I'm

2534
02:10:48,640 --> 02:10:50,680
Speaker 1: saying true here. They're not gonna go one and two.

2535
02:10:50,720 --> 02:10:54,280
Speaker 1: They won't go Oh my gosh, that would be so

2536
02:10:54,360 --> 02:10:58,040
Speaker 1: delicious epic. That would be epic. All right, that's the

2537
02:10:58,120 --> 02:11:00,400
Speaker 1: NFL true false all the time. We have four today

2538
02:11:00,400 --> 02:11:03,120
Speaker 1: and brought to you, as always by Anty's Fancy New

2539
02:11:03,200 --> 02:11:05,640
Speaker 1: York's artist and cheese. Steve and I will be back

2540
02:11:05,640 --> 02:11:08,120
Speaker 1: in a moment to close up this show with what

2541
02:11:08,160 --> 02:11:10,760
Speaker 1: we have learned from today's program that's coming your way

2542
02:11:10,800 --> 02:11:13,080
Speaker 1: next here on One Bill's Live, presented by Kalid to Health.

2543
02:11:13,120 --> 02:11:30,680
Speaker 1: This is Buffalo Bill's Radio time for what have we

2544
02:11:30,800 --> 02:11:34,879
Speaker 1: learned from today's show? Presented by Skyworks, the official construction

2545
02:11:34,920 --> 02:11:38,360
Speaker 1: equipment rental company of the Buffalo Bills had our weekly

2546
02:11:38,440 --> 02:11:42,920
Speaker 1: visit from Good Morning Football's Kyle Brandt, who commented on

2547
02:11:43,000 --> 02:11:46,400
Speaker 1: Buffalo's offensive production through the first two weeks of the

2548
02:11:46,440 --> 02:11:50,520
Speaker 1: twenty twenty season. It's not only that Josh downs lead

2549
02:11:50,560 --> 02:11:52,960
Speaker 1: in the NFL and passing. He doesn't have an interception,

2550
02:11:53,080 --> 02:11:57,080
Speaker 1: yet he's seventy percent with this passes, spun digs, lead

2551
02:11:57,120 --> 02:12:00,360
Speaker 1: in the NFL and receiving. It's all coming together, beautiful fleet.

2552
02:12:00,600 --> 02:12:03,360
Speaker 1: And yet if I take a gulp and I'm mixing

2553
02:12:03,400 --> 02:12:05,920
Speaker 1: a few waters between rounds as they tell you're supposed

2554
02:12:05,960 --> 02:12:08,760
Speaker 1: to do, it's gonna get real these next four games.

2555
02:12:08,880 --> 02:12:11,680
Speaker 1: They are excellent teams. And I think if we're standing

2556
02:12:11,720 --> 02:12:13,760
Speaker 1: here a month from now, I'm not hieing this guy.

2557
02:12:13,920 --> 02:12:16,040
Speaker 1: If they're going sixteen and oh, I think if they

2558
02:12:16,040 --> 02:12:18,400
Speaker 1: can go three and one on this stretch, that we

2559
02:12:18,440 --> 02:12:22,520
Speaker 1: should be dancing in the streets. Dancing in the streets.

2560
02:12:22,680 --> 02:12:26,840
Speaker 1: I'll take three and one with that slate you know, Yeah,

2561
02:12:26,880 --> 02:12:29,760
Speaker 1: to go in go through that first really half of

2562
02:12:29,760 --> 02:12:31,720
Speaker 1: the season or almost half of the season with one

2563
02:12:31,800 --> 02:12:35,520
Speaker 1: loss is is would be huge. And we knew you

2564
02:12:35,520 --> 02:12:38,360
Speaker 1: could see it coming down the tracks like a freight train,

2565
02:12:38,480 --> 02:12:41,600
Speaker 1: that there's gonna be two stretches in this in this

2566
02:12:41,920 --> 02:12:44,960
Speaker 1: season that are gonna be really tough. Rams, Raiders, Titans, Chiefs,

2567
02:12:45,560 --> 02:12:47,480
Speaker 1: all of which who have yet to lose a game.

2568
02:12:47,960 --> 02:12:50,520
Speaker 1: And then you play the Jets again, which whatever you're

2569
02:12:50,560 --> 02:12:52,120
Speaker 1: talking about, you know, we just had a true fause

2570
02:12:52,160 --> 02:12:53,480
Speaker 1: of where the Jets will be the number one pick

2571
02:12:53,480 --> 02:12:58,040
Speaker 1: of the draft. Then you go Patriots, Seahawks, Cardinals, Chargers.

2572
02:12:59,080 --> 02:13:01,280
Speaker 1: Those are two stresses that are really rough. And then

2573
02:13:01,320 --> 02:13:03,520
Speaker 1: after the Chargers you got into the Niners, the Steelers,

2574
02:13:03,560 --> 02:13:06,800
Speaker 1: the Broncos, and the Patriots. Again. Yeah, it's a tough,

2575
02:13:07,120 --> 02:13:11,600
Speaker 1: tough schedule. The top the most difficult schedules in the

2576
02:13:11,680 --> 02:13:14,560
Speaker 1: National Football League are had by the AFC East teams,

2577
02:13:14,600 --> 02:13:17,680
Speaker 1: the Patriots, the Bills, the Jets, and the Dolphins. And

2578
02:13:17,720 --> 02:13:19,160
Speaker 1: the only reason the Bills are at the bottom of

2579
02:13:19,200 --> 02:13:21,760
Speaker 1: it is because the Bills don't play themselves. We're a

2580
02:13:21,760 --> 02:13:23,840
Speaker 1: harder game for the Dolphins and Jets than the Bills

2581
02:13:23,840 --> 02:13:26,240
Speaker 1: have you against those chests, and you would hope with

2582
02:13:26,320 --> 02:13:29,520
Speaker 1: the finding out about their own team right now, this

2583
02:13:29,600 --> 02:13:33,200
Speaker 1: will be a better Bills team come mid October, late October,

2584
02:13:33,360 --> 02:13:36,640
Speaker 1: early November. I mean, everybody else is finding their footing too,

2585
02:13:36,720 --> 02:13:39,280
Speaker 1: But if the Bills can stack some wins here early

2586
02:13:39,320 --> 02:13:43,320
Speaker 1: and then really hit a groove midway through, we're gonna

2587
02:13:43,320 --> 02:13:45,600
Speaker 1: be talking about a lot of good stuff here. Tomorrow's show,

2588
02:13:46,760 --> 02:13:53,400
Speaker 1: Andre Reed will be along with Jordan Palmer, the guy

2589
02:13:53,440 --> 02:13:56,120
Speaker 1: from the QB Summit that Josh Allen works with in

2590
02:13:56,160 --> 02:13:59,720
Speaker 1: the offseason, so have an interesting conversation with him. Steve
