IanHOST
No problem with me either.
IanHOST
You know, Alex Bachman got a rest day.
IanHOST
I guess, you know, getting shellacked on kickoff and punt wears on you.
IanHOST
That makes sense.
Victor CoronaHOST
some of the, the punt and kick return.
Victor CoronaHOST
So outside of that, I thought, uh, Alex Bachman had a good return.
Victor CoronaHOST
The, the, the returners had good returns in this game.
Victor CoronaHOST
They got him past the 30, 35 yards but, I mean, s- the...
FarbodPANELIST
Part of me will miss Xavier, just the electricity he provided at that position.
FarbodPANELIST
But it's like, if you're not going to go Xavier, is a guy like Brennan Presley that much worse than Alex Bachman? I would much rather see a Presley out there returning.
FarbodPANELIST
He seems to have a bit of juice to him, that short yard speed, that agility.
MarkHOST
It could be just a concern about putting an inexperienced.
Steve TaskerHOST
Um, Kanada Mumfield.
Steve TaskerHOST
Alex Bachman.
Steve TaskerHOST
I ...
Steve TaskerHOST
You know, you get Pa- If you go out there [laughs] with Puka and DeVante and Cody Parkinson, if he can come back and get in, I don't know if he will, he's questionable, but Tyler Higbee's the other guy.

Chris BrownHOST
Help your defense with your special teams unit, either by Dolman flipping the field for your defense with long fields to defend, or finding some hidden yardage in there with the return game and covering punts and kicks where the Rams have struggled.
Chris BrownHOST
They are not good on kick return, they are not good on punt return.
Chris BrownHOST
So bad, in fact, that they cut their return man and replaced him with a practice squad call-up, Alex Bachman.
Chris BrownHOST
The Bills have to win in the coverage game and in the return game to help this team win the football game.
Dene VespeHOST
I would like to see special teams win us a game in the final minutes.
Dene VespeHOST
I would like to see Alex Bachman bring a punt back 35 yards, switch the field position, and then Stafford take a shot over the top to win the game.
Dene VespeHOST
Like, that's, you know, if, that's the type of encouragement that I would like to see, as long as they're playing complimentary football throughout the game.
Nick VespeHOST
Yeah.
Joe MarinoHOST
Well, they've already r- moved on from Xavier Smith after, uh, some fumbling issues earlier this year.
Joe MarinoHOST
They've replaced him with Alex Bachman to be their punt, uh, their punt and kick returner, who's been in the league since 2021 and has 27 punt returns under his belt, 22 of those last year with the Raiders.
Joe MarinoHOST
Um, but their, their coverage units, they get penalties.
Joe MarinoHOST
They don't handle the ball well.
John IrelandHOST
Uh, Coach, you, uh, you switched returners.
John IrelandHOST
Uh, Xavier Smith has moved on, and Alex Bachman is now the guy, elevated from the practice squad.
John IrelandHOST
What did you see there, and how does that help you in terms of special teams?
Sean McVayGUEST
teams?Yeah, I think, uh, you know, I thought he did make good decisions fielding it.
Joe MarinoHOST
There's not been many, uh, but Ethan Evans has been one of them, and he's one of the best punters in the league.
Joe MarinoHOST
And then the returner I mentioned, they've already released Xavier Smith for his own issues, and they've turned to Alex Bachman, who's 30 years old.
Joe MarinoHOST
He's been in the league since 2021.
Joe MarinoHOST
He's barely played at all.
Erin CoscarelliHOST
Yeah, special teams, I'm, I'm, I, I can only imagine the inner frustration McVay is feeling because it seems like, you know...
Erin CoscarelliHOST
And, and then what did Ro- what- Alex Bachman, what did you think about him returning? Uh, kind of taking the place, obviously the Rams guys at home, in case you didn't know, Xavier Smith was typically in that position.
Erin CoscarelliHOST
Um, he was waived.
Erin CoscarelliHOST
I was a little surprised that they were kind of seemingly the day before all, all good with him and then they, and then they let him go, and now Alex, Alex Bachman.
Erin CoscarelliHOST
What was your take on that whole situation?
Nate AtkinsGUEST
Yeah, I think the timing was more surprising to me than the result.
Nate AtkinsGUEST
And, you know, it's a, it's a position where, like, they're, they, they needed to get Xavier Smith in a more confident place, and they hoped to do that in the preseason, and he had that nice return against the Chiefs.
Nate AtkinsGUEST
Just wasn't happening in the games, and it was too risky, I think, to them to continue doing it that way.
Emily HebelPANELIST
Alex.
John IrelandHOST
Alex Bachman is our new return guy.
John IrelandHOST
Uh, he didn't do anything wrong in this game.
John IrelandHOST
He didn't get any-
