this game. >> trent: you and i were talking about it you would be going for 2 to get within a field goal. >> referee: 5-yard penalty. >> greg: this is all a part of a learning process, trent, to get on and off at the field in a timely manner. >> trent: it is. it is part of it. when they instituted the fact you can celebrate touchdown spirit as soonas that touchdown happens, it is important. i know there was not a big celebration afterwards, but it is important to get lined up for the extra point. that play clock is running. >> greg: the kick is good, six: 23 to play, buffaloes lead by 4, 24-19. a reminder after a late news, don't miss the late show with

stephen colbert, actress with only on cbs. we certainly don't mean to make light of matt patricia situation. we wish him the best with a quick recovery. when we met with him on wednesday, he had a new boots but on that left-footed. >> trent: you want to be in the mix, you want to be on the sideline. you want to be able to get in front of guys and if you need to chase a guy down or point out something a picture in the drawings. he talked about how he enjoys this off-season having the opportunity to teach that first year when first year head coach. they were so many things to do whether hiring a staffer getting everybody on the same page within the building. it really takes away the opportunities. and that's what he loves doing. and so he washe other day how he enjoys helping the coach and keep the coach on his

players to try to get implemented to his style of defense and how he wants the program run. >> greg: and moving around on an atv and a two wheel cart around the building. that does not make it any easi easier. he wasn't hard to find on the practice field. >> trent: no. and that is us making an excuse. you ask him, he's got no excuse. you deal with it and go. >> greg: so marcus murphy in the backfield. the bills from all .5, the top of the air. >> trent: that is the lions to get the ball back here 6:18 to go in the game. >> greg: nice defense applied to not get the ball up in the air and a chance to almost get intercepted. adams to reach his hand in.

2nd & 10. >> greg: that was a pretty good play from the near side. number 36. i can't get over the fact that tyree jackson is an impressive figure out there physically. >> trent: he is. that is why he has the velocity on the ball that he does. excellent job of timing that by to get in the backfield. forcing 3rd & long. popped over the metal, complete, touched down right away, and

that will bring 5:29 to play and the clock is moving. >> trent: they didn't sit back on that one-third and long. they brought the linebacker. and make sure everyone was one on one. didn't want jackson being able to just fire the ball around. >> greg: kennedy is back at the 35. 25 come excuse me. 25, excuse me. up the sideline and out-of-bounds. so one defense out and another comes in with 4:50 on the clock and here comes josh. >> trent: they put a heck of a

iv lasdrive. trying to stake his claim to the backup spot. david bales came in second this game and four quarterbacks on the roster, five if you count thomas. >> greg: he thinks like a quarterback because he used to be one. on the flip, not able to hold onto it. incomplete and it will be second down. according to last weekend, the intended receiver. nearly the tremendous one-handed catch. but not quite getting it done. >> trent: we could not waste those preseason. >> greg: no.

throws left, cross midfield and into buffalo territory. jonathan dewar, excellent placement to get this over the fingertips of the linebacker and drops it in front of the safety. keeps it low for the receiver, keeps it away from the defensive backs and a penalty marker is down. in the huddle. >> referee: too many players in the huddle by the offense, 5-yard penalty, still first do down. >> greg: so that will back the lions back into their own territory, 49, melanie. >> melanie: that entry open the door for a wide receivers to compete for roster spots. college roommates and teammates

old dominion. travis and jonathan, close as brothers mike travis in the sixth round and jonathan on the first to call and congratulate him. it will be interesting to see who makes the roster. >> greg: yeah, melanie my friendships all over. from guys who have played together at schools or against each other. >> trent: that is the harsh reality of the league. so many spots and everybody is fighting for them. it is your job, your career, and what you want to do. unfortunately, at times, it can be a little cutthroat. but there are spots where guys develop on the practice squad and take advantage of that to get on a roster. >> greg: 2nd & 15. jump pass, incomplete. johnson had a little traffic in front of him and had to go in the air.

isaac not all the intended receiver. >> trent: we talk there is only one caught -- cut down day where there used to be several. it is tougher for a coach. >> trent: i think it would be easier on the coaches have the personnel because it would give them bodies for preseason game. a big reason for doing it. and also gives another opportunity for guys to get on tape and teams to get exposure. i think it makes it difficult on a player to maybe get picked up but another roster, some of those early cuts gives you an opportunity to get picked up by another team. so that is a tough thing, you want that extra game to get more exposure but you also want a little bit of extra time to get a workout or be evaluated by another team to stay in the league. >> greg: there is a push to cut down to two games and add two to the regular season game but the coach it is valuable when it comes to raiding a

player to find out what he's got. >> trent: right, just because the practices they are limited on practice, padded practices and the buffaloes take a timeout on fourth down. detroit was going to go for it. >> referee: buffaloes, it will be 30 seconds. >> greg: so that evaluation process, you know, an ongoing thing. and when you say to your point, greg two preseason games, for instance, detroit they like the fact they practice in houston. they liked the work that they got and against those two teams because during a practice tempo, you can set the tempo what we wanted to be. you can get a lot accomplished against another team. that is a trend going around the leg. a lot more of this off-season than i remember the last couple of seasons. it used topu 80s, early '90s. and wisconsin, minnesota, you battle. but a lot has changed in terms

of the wave teams are practicing. >> greg: first and fourth, johnson to throw it, missed. deontez alexander. made the catch, a first down, and the final 3 minutes remaining. >> trent: i am impressed with johnson and the way that josh is commanding his offense. even had that jump throw which i don't particularly think is the best thing to do, but the fact he knew he was under pressure. he had a receiver of the field. tried to get it out of his hands. >> greg: on a quick slant, travis, he gets more of the football and buffalo has it. jaquanon comesph a loose ball. >> trent: well that throw, excellent catch, but he has to understand he has to hang onto the football. you get into traffic, put two on

it and he does. >> greg: that second hand on it but took it off to try to get more yardage. once he took that secondhand off of it, now all of a sudden, 2:50 to go, detroit with one timeout in their pocket. the two-minute warning warning with one timeout. to try to get the ball back. >> greg: here, the lions knocking on the door trailing b. so as important as we talk about two minute offense, a four-minute offense when you are at the offensive team with the lead, you are trying to drain the clock. so here, buffaloes going to try to do exactly that. >> trent: in fact, detroit will take their time out right now. stop the clock with 2:43, melanie. >> melanie: we saw what happened with that play an travis. the first guy to put his arm around him and give him a hug walking up the field, hey, it's

okay. nice moment between the two. >> greg: not every moment is a happy moment out on the field. >> trent: actually by getting this timeout, they added a couple of seconds to the clock so now it is 2:45. no matter what they do on display here, they will have to get that ball snapped on third down. and -- unless they pick up the first town but the ball snapped no matter what to get another play. >> greg:>> greg: and the 82nd pr something. murphy close to the 20-yard li line. >> trent: actualy, not a timeout. it down to the

two-minute warning without having to take another snap. that is critical. one second. that little dance in the backfield to extend the play a little bit. >> greg: yep. no timeouts. buffalo will get the two-minute warning. so there it is, 2 minutes to play. if they don't get the first down, they will have one minute left with no timeout. here is what the bill schedule starts like to start the season. they will open at the javits and then go back to the same stadium a week after. trent you and i will be there with the new york giants. and then cincinnati, new england and then home to miami.

>> trent: a lot of division games early on. new england, miami, three of those six games for the lions. they will start on the road out west in arizona. >> greg: the chargers travel to philly. close to kansas city, dream day in minnesota, provisional games for them right there weeks five and six. 3rd & 3. detroit out of timeouts. murphy announcing to the outside gets the first down. >> trent: with no timeouts, that will do it. and all they have to do now, buffalo just needs to take a knee. what a good, quick move to the

outside by murphy. then jump back end. >> trent: detroit at a murphy stopped on the backfield, it was going to be a tackle and forcing them to punt. excellent buy murphy with the speed to bounce to the outside to find the crease to get the first down. >> greg: sean mcdermott taking the equivalent of a victory cigar. taking a knee on first down. and the clock would just run down. >> trent: i'm trying to remember if this is a typical preseason game with all the penalties? >> greg: i would say no considering third preseason game. so right now, 21 call penalties, 21 accepted penalties. detroit is not going to be happy with the fact that they lost the

turnover battle 3-0. so tee, they lost game bfour points. >> trent: there will be a lot of coaching points in this. >> greg: buffalo will move to 3-0 on the preseason,long up after wins against indianapolis and carolina. and the lions will fall 0-3 and the exhibition season. a loss to new england and used him. i'm sorry about that, i do think the lines have to be happy the way stafford played considering his first action for the preseason. we went the final score, the buffalo bills 24, the detroit lions, 20, coming up for many the local news followed by the late show with la show with james gordon. from trent reed, melanie

. >> kansas city, kansas city here i come. that is a look at kansas city, missouri, everybody, on this eve of 49er football at the kansas city chiefs. a couple thousand miles to the west here in our lovely kpix studios 855 battery street. hello everybody this is a sports resource. you have to have. >> i like that. >> subscribe now. i guess you could watch and subscribe at the same time. anyway we are here to babysit you the next half hour talking

49er football, as the regular season is right around the corner here we are on the heels of the buffalo bills and detroit lions game on cbs and without further ado, before we get to kansas city, let me get your thoughts. are you ready for this upcoming nfl season? >> getting there. i am ready to stop watching preseason. i think this is an interesting season >> you think the day will come when they will have four preseason games? >> they need to have all the games to fit the tv schedule, ticket buying schedule but there's a movement to maybe go with two and figure out another way to fill two weeks. i don't see it happening right away. it does feel the schedule. coaches are playing guys. elected again today i saw jameis winston in the 2nd

quarter. what is going on here? why is he playing? we will see garoppolo playing tomorrow. i'm curious about that. i hate to say too much because it's a preseason game. he will play maybe a quarter, may be a little more but after the last preseason game, if you want to see him at least feel confident, you want to see him make a throw may be under pressure. that is what we have seen them struggle with. he feels pressure, the boss is coming out. don't hit me, especially don't hit me low. kenny get through that? that's one thing in any preseason game i am looking to see. a lot of people see what garoppolo looks like >> this is why he is good, folks. the insights just come right out of him. excellent segue. we are going to kansas city right now. was handed over to dennis o'donnell, standing by,

working the game tomorrow. >> reporter: hello, everybody from arrowhead stadium, were this weekend, jimmy garoppolo's knee injury comes full circle. he was here, last september, garoppolo suffered that acl tear. he is back, ready to prove to everybody, but he is healthy and ready to go >> what kind of impression do you get from jimmy about going back to kansas city whether mental catharsis from going back there? >> i just went to the wall practice. >> reporter: the return to kansas city is on everybody's mind. kyle shanahan described it like iurth somufcan us ere, going back to the same place. what is even more the numbers put up >> one of those things you can

react two ways. rumbelow and go into the fetal session and surrender or qualify. we have a locker room full of guys that want to fight. myself included. every day you have to come in and respond. it's never going to be given to you. >> reporter: rumbelow will feel like he is earned it with a bounce back performance against the chiefs. he is expected to play the entire 1st half. like it or not there is some elevated stakes for the otherwise meaningless preseason game. >> elevated stakes if your goal is the day after the game to make sure people talk about you . that is not our goal. the goal is to be as good as we can for tampa. if your world and why you have to play the sport is pleasing talk shows making sure everyone says you're good even though that doesn't mean you aren't then it probably is >> takes a minute no one his road to the top of the nfl coaching ladder was in perfect >> i have success my first

couple years in host houston as a coordinator i was young decided everything was easy and what is anyone get stressed out. i go to washington and i was in his get anyone. i actually read a paper windy and told me how bad i was not was my first job ever i only got a because my dad and i would like to say it messed me up. >> reporter: in two seasons as nfl head coach with the 49ers, kyle shanahan has ten wins, hoping to get ten in this season alone. for that he's going to need a healthy jimmy garoppolo. >> since he was drafted in 2014 with the patriots, garoppolo has had great numbers in the preseason the game against denver easily his worst. he completed nearly 66% of his passes 138 yards per game. he is 12 preseason touchdowns and seven picks but check out patriots analyst scott zolak said about garoppolo last night

during the game. >> i thought he really labor net practice early. jimmy one of the worst practice quarterbacks we have had here. certain guys are gamers, certain areas of practice go. >> i heard him say just the of the day, even a preseason game entering practice they always preach game speed, you can't have game speed in a meaningless game especially in practice >> in a game when you get hit even a preseason game is different than practice, live practices are a little faster. regular-season the most. you got to get there i think we saw the last game garoppolo's speed is in there. his feet may be aren't there mckee's a little bit of flip it around guy anyway. he is not

exactly like, you know, staying still. he likes moving around. that takes timing, rhythm, confidence , confidence in your line. we did not see the offensive line look the great in the game either. i think he needs to have a great offensive line in front of them at least for the first few weeks of the regular season. his got to feel competent, step into the ball not have guys fall in him and come around him. great couple pass rushers. not a good time to see jimmy garoppolo get comments because those guys are flying out of. tampa bay not a great defense, cincinnati not a great defense. the first two games maybe we will seem get the confidence in those games or maybe right off the bat tomorrow night >> you are looking for him to have rhythm, step into his throw, get the offense moving so that will may be bring confidence which is what you want. >> i some people notice, your

play caller get them in easy throw. get him an easy throw to get rhythm, gets the defense off he didn't do that against denver i don't quite know why or maybe he thought, and for jimmy at the time they were not easy throws especially -- i think he feels like he's got to get the ball out of his hand. for a lot of reasons. if you are him coming off an acl . you've got guys falling at you you don't want them falling on you want them to look at the ball going over there. it's not my hands anymore. that's natural. he is a rhythm guy, a feel guy feel is in the area. that is what i think people reacted to other than the crazy talk show, my god it's over it is that he dn't look rig he look gh e throand look right. didn't look like it came out of his hands confidently. you want to see him in that spot

. might not happen tomorrow, might not happen the regular season. i think it will get there he's really talented. assumption practice at training camp i thought he looked good. again guys weren't hitting in. they are going to hit him as soon as they can come as much as they can in preseason and regular season. to show you feel like it is again not like i'm trying to get back into it that is what i think we saw. >> know what he's thinking about right now. what he's trying to visualize what is going to do, make sure vern glenn is an talking bad about him. that is one storyline. the other big storyline, still a team still a whole bunch of injuries. look at this list of guys who are missing. nick hossa, 50/50 to make the opener. dee ford tendinitis. jason byrd ankle sprain, trent taylor foot surgery. george hill n injury, and he is worrying fantasy football

owners. >> i know. don't worry about it. the dallas game running, had some tightness. just had a slight pull on it. might have reacted a little too much. probably would've played last week probably week before that too. just being cautious >> just being cautious i'm not worried. i will tell you what i am worried about, it is their top pick, nick. nick bosa. i feel like he is really expensive piece of china. that has just shipped and they are trying to keep him from i guess cracking >> hurt college cut short his last year there. otas, her in training camp i someone he was healthy some the day he got hurt, he is telling
