1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,360
Speaker 1: Welcome to One Bill's like the rocket fuel version of

2
00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:06,000
Speaker 1: our daily show, One Bills Live, where we've got everything

3
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:08,760
Speaker 1: you need. In about thirty to forty minutes the Numbers game,

4
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:12,160
Speaker 1: we'll focus on two quarterbacks swearing off, both under the

5
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:15,120
Speaker 1: age of twenty five. Wolf Blitzer tells us why the

6
00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:18,160
Speaker 1: Bills have been a welcome escape in a trying year,

7
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:22,079
Speaker 1: and we asked the question, should we be concerned, Let's

8
00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:32,520
Speaker 1: get it going at a Steve Tasker who has spent

9
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:34,839
Speaker 1: all of our fields kind of unique. He was kind

10
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:38,400
Speaker 1: of a dual role players for you state a Steve

11
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 1: a blimp. We're not even in the stratosphere of normalcy.

12
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:51,560
Speaker 1: Welcome to One Bills, like Steve Tasker. It's a week

13
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 1: that has been filled with a few more nerves in

14
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 1: Buffalo than perhaps last week, when fans were looking forward

15
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 1: to the wild card playoff game. Now, after a type

16
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 1: victory and a red hot Ravens team coming in, Bills

17
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 1: fans I think are more hopeful than they might be confident.

18
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 1: I think that's an accurate assessment. There's some angst about

19
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 1: the Baltimore Ravens. They're a really good team and they're

20
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 1: a bad matchup for Buffalo because of their big, physical

21
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:19,400
Speaker 1: nature in the run game. The one problem the build,

22
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 1: one glaring problem that has haunted the Bills from time

23
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:23,919
Speaker 1: to time, certainly in the first half of the season,

24
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:26,560
Speaker 1: not so much lately is their run defense. And if

25
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:28,960
Speaker 1: you don't have a run defense against this team, you're

26
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 1: going to get a thirty five or forty burger hung

27
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 1: on you during the game. So the Bills have got

28
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 1: to find a way to combat that. I would say

29
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 1: they're going to use their offense as well to keep

30
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 1: Baltimore at base, certainly hoping they can, you know, light

31
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:45,960
Speaker 1: up the scoreboard themselves. But this is at Baltimore defense

32
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 1: that's very good, top ten defense and all the major categories.

33
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 1: Number one in some of these categories. But don't lose heart,

34
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 1: because the Bills have lit up every number one defense

35
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 1: they played on whatever category you can name. Josh Allen

36
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 1: has carved them up and carved them up goodine Good

37
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 1: defenses are usually that way because they like to play

38
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 1: man and they have a the ability to go man

39
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 1: up on the outside. You can't do that against the Bills.

40
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 1: So if they want to do that, the Bills will

41
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 1: take that challenge. And they've shown the ability to win it.

42
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 1: So that's where Buffalo Bills fans hopes lie. Yeah, And

43
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:20,920
Speaker 1: you know, it seems to be very hard for Baltimore

44
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 1: opponents on the whole to get up on them to

45
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,240
Speaker 1: the point where Baltimore is forced to get out of

46
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:30,359
Speaker 1: their running approach on offense. It just seems like teams

47
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 1: cannot get up more than ten points on them. And

48
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:34,960
Speaker 1: even the Titans, who in the wildcard round took an

49
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 1: early ten nothing lead, they quickly watched that evaporate in

50
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 1: the span of a quarter and then once the Ravens

51
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:43,960
Speaker 1: were back even they just do what they do and

52
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 1: run the football. And I wonder if the Bills are

53
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 1: capable of jumping out to a ten or a fourteen

54
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,080
Speaker 1: point lead somewhere through the course of the game to

55
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 1: get the Ravens out of what they normally do and

56
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,799
Speaker 1: force Lamar Jackson to start throwing the ball around to

57
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 1: try to climb back into the game. We haven't really

58
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:06,839
Speaker 1: seen many examples of that with Ravens games, so they've

59
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 1: been able to do what they do, which is why

60
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 1: they again for the second straight season, ran for over

61
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 1: three thousand yards. Only team in NFL history have back

62
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 1: to back three thousand yard rushing seasons. But I would

63
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 1: we love it if they could just get up and

64
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 1: pull the Ravens out of what they normally do offensively.

65
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 1: That's the ideal scenario. I don't know if it's going

66
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 1: to happen. You've got to play this game like you're

67
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:29,919
Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs. You got to pile it on.

68
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:31,640
Speaker 1: If they go down by ten, you gotta get up

69
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 1: by seventeen. You got to make them start to panic

70
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 1: and think about, okay, we've got to do something different.

71
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 1: If the Ravens defense doesn't keep Buffalo off the board,

72
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 1: then this game is going to go the wrong way

73
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 1: for Buffalo. I think there's no question this is a

74
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 1: game that centers on the engine that has gotten Buffalo

75
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 1: to fourteen wins this year, and that is their offense.

76
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 1: They've got to score points and they've got to stay

77
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 1: in the game that way. They've got to be efficient.

78
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 1: They've got to score touchdown. They got it. They just

79
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 1: got to keep piling on and force the Ravens to

80
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 1: keep doing it. Now, on the Ravens side of it,

81
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 1: if they can keep up with their run game, so

82
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 1: for instance, if if the Bills lose the toss, get

83
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 1: the kickoff, go down. They scored opening touchdown. The Ravens

84
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 1: got to match it because if they and they can

85
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 1: do that, they're a team that can that is efficient

86
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 1: there in the last six games, they're sixty percent on

87
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 1: third downs. I mean, you can't get them off the field.

88
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:25,719
Speaker 1: So if they're confident then they can do that, which

89
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 1: it looks as though they may be able to. This

90
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 1: has a chance of being whoever has the ball last

91
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 1: scores and they win the game. There are some people

92
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 1: that believe, even though the Ravens are a rushing offense,

93
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 1: that and they have a pretty good defense, that this

94
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:40,920
Speaker 1: could be a high scoring affair. I don't know if

95
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 1: I'd put it past you. I mean, I think this

96
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,039
Speaker 1: would get into the high twenties pretty easily for both

97
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:47,040
Speaker 1: I thinks so too over the course of four quarters,

98
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,160
Speaker 1: because these are these are two teams that put pressure

99
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:52,239
Speaker 1: on you all the time offensively, certainly with Lamar Jackson,

100
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 1: he's the guy with the ball in his hands all

101
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 1: the time, and Josh Allen has proven they can score

102
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:59,159
Speaker 1: in a big hurt. So it's it's gonna be a

103
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 1: lot of fun to see. Certainly, the defenses in this

104
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 1: game are going to have their say. I think it's

105
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,040
Speaker 1: going to be more about a playmaking type of environment

106
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:11,039
Speaker 1: rather than a stifling We're gonna get you off the

107
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:13,920
Speaker 1: field three and out three times a half or four

108
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 1: times a half. I just don't see that happening for

109
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 1: either of these defenses. And it's this game that brings

110
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 1: us to our initial subject matter for this week's edition

111
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 1: of The Numbers Game. All Right, Saturday night's game, Steve,

112
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:29,280
Speaker 1: between the Bills and the Ravens features two quarterbacks who

113
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:32,159
Speaker 1: are both under twenty five years old. Lamar Jackson twenty

114
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:34,839
Speaker 1: four years and nine days old on game day and

115
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,279
Speaker 1: Josh Allen will be twenty four years and two hundred

116
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 1: and forty days old on game day. So, Steve, as

117
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,279
Speaker 1: we kick off the Numbers Game, can you name the

118
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:48,559
Speaker 1: three other divisional playoff matchups in the Super Bowl era

119
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 1: that featured opposing quarterbacks under twenty five years old? I

120
00:05:56,040 --> 00:06:06,840
Speaker 1: will say nineteen eighty four Marino and Elway. That is incorrect.

121
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:09,839
Speaker 1: It is not Marino and Elway. Is Marino one of them?

122
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 1: He is half of the equation. You know who would

123
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 1: be the other guy? It's not eighty four eighty three,

124
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 1: is it, nope, eighty three. Well, you know he's got

125
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 1: a Marino's gotta be under twenty five. It's got to

126
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 1: be early in his career. It is not Marino and

127
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:31,159
Speaker 1: Tony Eason. Oh dude, that you're right there though. Man,

128
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 1: that was a really good guess. Uh Cozart nineteen eighty five.

129
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:43,600
Speaker 1: Damn Marino. Bernie Kosar Miami won that game twenty four

130
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 1: twenty one. Okay, so you got the one. You got

131
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 1: the oldest one on the list, all right, I will

132
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 1: I will give you a hint and tell you the

133
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 1: rest of these are in the twenty first century. Okay,

134
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 1: there are two left. I just dated my thank you

135
00:06:56,680 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 1: for dating me. Uh, I remembered forty years ago? For wow,

136
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:07,279
Speaker 1: thirty five years ago, I remember back in my day.

137
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 1: Let's see, okay, two thousands, let's see that would be.

138
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,280
Speaker 1: You gotta think of young quarterbacks that you know got

139
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 1: in the playoffs early. I'm gonna say, Philip Rivers not

140
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 1: a okay, even the buzzers helping you to articularly brutal.

141
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 1: It's a rough room. It's a rough room, and the

142
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 1: control route in the control and they're very impatient. All right,

143
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 1: it's not I will say there's one that is that

144
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 1: is relatively obvious. You say, okay that Tom Brady, and

145
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 1: who would be the other guy, Drew Brees Nowaday, there's

146
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 1: one that's uh, there's one that's pretty hard to get.

147
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 1: I don't think many people. He's got a second one.

148
00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 1: Brady's got to be in there. He is not in here.

149
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 1: No really, so yeah, I mean you can. I thought

150
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 1: he got off to a good One is relative. One

151
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 1: is very recent, all right, Lamar Jackson and Pat Mahomes.

152
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 1: No got half of it. Lamar Jackson and uh, it's

153
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 1: not Lamar. It's not Lamar, all right, So it's mah Yeah,

154
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 1: it's Mahomes. And who's the guy last year? Wasn't Tannehill.

155
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 1: It was who was in the playoffs last year? It

156

Speaker 1: was an eighty point game, it was the divisional round. Lamar. No,

157
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 1: it wasn't Lamar because Lamar lost in the first. He

158
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 1: lost in the wild Cartrick Mahomes and who they beat? Well,

159
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:47,400

162
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 1: Now Steve is cheating because now he's looking stuff up.

163
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 1: You have now twenty nineteen. All right, it's gotta be Oh,

164
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson, Yeah, pack, you're not. You're not gonna get this.

165
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:24,840
Speaker 1: I will give year the year two thousand, yeah, exactly,

166
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 1: and I will give you the teams. I will give

167
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:29,679

168
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 1: two thousand, Minnesota versus New Orleans two thousand. These are wow.

169
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 1: These are two quarterback names that don't just roll off

170
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 1: the tone right away. Breeze and Breeze wasn't there yet.

171
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 1: Breeze wasn't even drafted yet. Wow, this is ancient history.

172
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:56,679
Speaker 1: Who is the young quarterback for the oh Brooks and

173
00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 1: for the Vikings that would have been? I don't know, Oh,

174
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 1: you know, do I know, let's think about oh Dennis Green.

175
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 1: Oh it's on the tip of big dude. Yeah, big dude.

176
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 1: I think he went to Central Florida. I know, I

177
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 1: can't remember his name. Dante. There you go, that's the

178
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 1: third one. How about it was a tough one. I

179
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:23,200
Speaker 1: mean I saw, yeah, that was good. I saw. I

180
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:26,319
Speaker 1: saw two thousand. Boy, that's gonna be a tough one.

181
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 1: I didn't get Dante Culpepper, not bad, not bad. So

182
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 1: the second part of our numbers game deals with the

183
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 1: defensive side of the ball, Steve, namely sacks streaks in

184
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 1: the postseason. Currently, Kansas City defensive end Frank Clark has

185
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 1: a postseason sacks streak of five straight games, which is

186
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 1: tied for third all time for the longest postseason sacks streak. Steve,

187
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 1: can you number one name the three players tied with

188
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:51,960
Speaker 1: Frank Clark for a five game postseason sack streak and

189
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 1: the two others ahead of him on the list. So

190
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 1: there's a total of five names here postseason sack streak. Yes,

191
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 1: Bruce on that list. Bruce is on the list. He

192
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:03,720
Speaker 1: had He's tied with Frank Clark for five did it

193
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 1: from ninety three to ninety four. Reggie on that list.

194
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:11,160

Speaker 1: how many players from your era. There is only one

198
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:22,560
Speaker 1: other player from your era on this sack streak, and

199
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 1: he did it in six straight games. Jones from Raiders

200
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 1: La Raiders. Not Jones. Whoever you're reserring to so, I

201
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 1: think you there are familiar names here. You would recognize

202
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:45,960
Speaker 1: these guys. I don't know if so. I'll give you.

203
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 1: I'll give you the time period in which they contribute

204
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:51,680
Speaker 1: they made these sacks streaks. One was from two thousand

205
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:54,600
Speaker 1: and two to two thousand and six in playoff appearances.

206
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:56,959
Speaker 1: The other was from two thousand and two to two

207
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 1: thousand Andre Tippett not Andre Tippett. Uh, this is this

208
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:05,840
Speaker 1: guy played for a team that has not seen the

209
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:11,559
Speaker 1: playoffs in in a while. It's uh, bad guy's game

210
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:13,439
Speaker 1: with the Niners. In the end, that he's a Hall

211
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:15,720
Speaker 1: of Famer. Not nope, nope, No, there's no Hall of

212
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 1: famers on this Well, there's hall of Fame. There's Bruce

213
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:20,200
Speaker 1: is the Hall of Famer. Bruce is actually the only

214
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 1: Hall of Famer on this list. Really, yes, oh yes,

215
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:29,600
Speaker 1: Steve's hope sag So, I will tell you this, Okay,

216
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 1: I'll give you. I'm gonna give you the teams. Carlos

217
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 1: Dunlap not Carlos Dunlap. I'm gonna get J. Watt, not

218
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:39,080
Speaker 1: J J Watt. I'm gonna give you the teams. You ready, Okay,

219
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:42,960
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay, So think of one of the best pass

220
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:45,360
Speaker 1: rushers for Tampa Bay. Can't be Warren Sapp. He's in

221
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:49,040
Speaker 1: the Hall of fam Warren Sapp Who did he Keith

222
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:51,680
Speaker 1: Brooks who was the defensive end with Warren Sapp on

223
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 1: that Tampa Bay team was Simeon Rice. Okay, New England

224
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 1: is another team. That's why I said, dud, it's not

225
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 1: Richard smar So think about maybe their edge rusher back then.

226
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 1: You'd know the guy played for a while currently works

227
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:16,559
Speaker 1: network Nikovich, not Nankovich. Two thousand and two to two

228
00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 1: thousand and four was his sack streak. And then there's

229
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:26,360
Speaker 1: it is not Willie McGinnis. Oh yeah, see, that's what

230
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 1: I was thinking. I was thinking, I got I got Mcginnison, Tippett.

231
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 1: Now this is a little bit tougher, but the guy

232
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:37,000
Speaker 1: with so this guy played in the eighties, played in

233
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 1: your division for the Jets. Six games sack streak, Casino, Yeah,

234
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:46,200
Speaker 1: Marcustino correct. And then the guy with the record right now,

235
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 1: seven straight games in the postseason with a sack. It's

236
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:52,600
Speaker 1: not Aaron Donald. It's not even a current player. This

237
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 1: guy played from two thousand and eight to two thousand

238
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:59,200
Speaker 1: and eleven with Pittsburgh eight to eleven with Pittsburgh, and

239
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:01,079
Speaker 1: he's done well. This is this is the period of

240
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:04,360
Speaker 1: the sacks streak. He is not playing anymore. Kevin Green.

241
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:09,680
Speaker 1: It is not Kevin Green. Now here's the problem. It's Harrison. No,

242
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:13,640
Speaker 1: it is not the other guys. There's so many dang

243
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:15,840
Speaker 1: pass rushers over the years for Pittsburgh and they make

244
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 1: the playoffs so often. All the names kind of running together.

245
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 1: I'll give you a final hint and give you the

246
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 1: initials of this guy's name, l W which probably doesn't

247
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 1: help you at all. Wood Woodard. Oh, you're close. It's

248
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 1: Lamar Woodley. Yeah, I know it's it isn't that crazy.

249
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 1: This has got to be like one of the most

250
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 1: cryptic lists. I upped the anti this week and the

251
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 1: degree of different Yeah, as all time postseason sack streak

252
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 1: record in the league, well in the Super Bowl era anyway.

253
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:55,200
Speaker 1: I mean the only started keeping though, because Devin games

254
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 1: in a row. Yeah, because that's not only had to

255
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 1: be in a team. You gotta be you gotta be good. Yeah.

256
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 1: But if Frank Clark gets a sack this weekend against Cleveland,

257
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 1: he will be up to six games. He will tie

258
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:10,840
Speaker 1: Gaston over second, and you know, if the chiefs move

259
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 1: on and you know, yeah, so good for him. Not

260
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 1: bad though, Steve, that that's all right. We up the

261
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 1: degree of difficulty this week. It can't be a cake

Speaker 1: is CNN anchor and host of the Situation Room one,

272

274
00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:01,200

275
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 1: down there inside the Bellway. Goodness, gracious, it's been intense.

276
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:08,120
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you, guys, I've been a journalist. I've

277
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 1: been with CNN. This is my thirty first year at CNN.

278
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:13,400
Speaker 1: So I've been with CNN for a long long time.

279
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:17,560
Speaker 1: But what we're going through, I mean, the coronavirus pandemic

280
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:20,800
Speaker 1: this past year has been awful and it continues. The

281
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 1: numbers are even worse now than it was a few

282
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:26,920
Speaker 1: weeks months. It's getting worse and worse. Let's hope these

283
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:30,920
Speaker 1: vaccines really work and that millions and millions of Americans

284
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 1: can get vaccinated, because we're gonna need something. If you

285
00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 1: look at all the numbers, almost four thousand Americans died

286
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:42,000
Speaker 1: from the virus just yesterday, just to one day. You

287
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 1: think about those numbers, we're getting numb to that. But

288
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:48,040
Speaker 1: it's so powerful, so dominating, and I know it has

289
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 1: an impact on everything, on the economy, on jobs, and

290
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 1: on football too. There's gonna be an audience. There's gonna

291
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:57,440
Speaker 1: be some fans at the stadium, but not many. I

292
00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 1: take it about sixty seven was going to ask you

293
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 1: this most importantly, do you see, as from your perch

294
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:06,720
Speaker 1: inside the boat, where and how close a watch you

295
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 1: keep on the pulse of everything? Do you see any

296
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 1: light at the end of this tunnel? The only light

297
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:16,640
Speaker 1: I see is if we can distribute two hundred two

298
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty three hundred million doses, not just one dose,

299
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:24,000
Speaker 1: but everybody's gonna need to the moderan of the fiser vaccines.

300
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:26,680
Speaker 1: You need one after three weeks than a second dose

301
00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:30,080
Speaker 1: where you get the other one after four weeks. So

302
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:33,080
Speaker 1: we're gonna just get We got to get everybody vaccinated.

303
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:36,560
Speaker 1: And that's the light of the end of the tunnel.

304
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:39,040
Speaker 1: In the meantime, we're all going to be walking around

305
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 1: like we all do. We got the mess, uh, and

306
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:44,360
Speaker 1: we got to make sure we have social distancing. That's

307
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:47,200
Speaker 1: why there's gonna be six thousand fans at the stadium,

308
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 1: a stadium that holds what seventy seventy five thousand people,

309
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 1: And it's you know, it's an awful situation this past year.

310
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:56,119
Speaker 1: I'm a I'm a sports fan. I love going to

311
00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:59,879
Speaker 1: Wizards games in Washington. You know, not happening. I love football,

312
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:03,359
Speaker 1: I love by Washington National's baseball team. Can't go to

313
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:06,679
Speaker 1: baseball games. You got to get away from news a

314
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:09,720
Speaker 1: little bit and have some fun. And sports is so

315
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 1: therapeutic and so exciting. So especially if you grew up

316
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:15,639
Speaker 1: in Buffalo, which I grew up and you love sports,

317
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:19,280
Speaker 1: that's the way we were raised. How big a respite,

318
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:22,240
Speaker 1: how welcome a respite? Has this Bill season been for

319
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 1: you to kind of get that escape that you're talking about,

320
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:28,639
Speaker 1: because I think they've probably exceeded everybody's expectations after a

321
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:31,639
Speaker 1: thirteen and three season. Yeah, I would have loved to

322
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:34,680
Speaker 1: have come up to Buffalo for a few some games,

323
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:37,560
Speaker 1: you know, but obviously that's not happening. It's been great.

324
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 1: I've lived with the Bills ever since I was a

325
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:44,440
Speaker 1: little boy growing up in Kenmore. I actually started growing

326
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:47,240
Speaker 1: up in Buffalo until second grade. Then my parents moved

327
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 1: all the way out to Kenmore, two blocks at past

328
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:53,160
Speaker 1: Kenmore Avenue, and I went from Public School eighty one

329
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:57,080
Speaker 1: in Buffalo to Washington Elementary that Ken Moore Junior or

330
00:18:57,119 --> 00:18:59,720
Speaker 1: High ken We're a West But all those years I

331
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:02,440
Speaker 1: was a huge Bills fan. And I remember all those

332
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:05,200
Speaker 1: players from those days. You guys are too young to remember,

333
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 1: you know, Elbert Dubenion and people like that, the Cookie

334
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:11,920
Speaker 1: Hill Chris. I remember those guys. I remember when Jack

335
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:15,200
Speaker 1: Kemp was a quarterback of the Buffalo Bills. That later,

336
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:17,239
Speaker 1: when he became a congressman here, I used to go

337
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:19,200
Speaker 1: talk to him. We got to dinner. Once in a

338
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 1: while I would interview him and the conversations would always

339
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:26,119
Speaker 1: turn back to the Bills. It was part of you know,

340
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:28,800
Speaker 1: his so so important part of his life in such

341
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:31,679
Speaker 1: an important part of my life. What's been your favorite

342
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:37,200
Speaker 1: part of this season? Winning? You know, winning is great.

343
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:41,160
Speaker 1: Like I lived through four seasons in the nineties early

344
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:44,520
Speaker 1: nineties when the Bills won the championship and went to

345
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 1: four Super Bowls in a row and we lost Sad

346
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:51,000
Speaker 1: Lee four super bowls in a row, and I watched,

347
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:53,440
Speaker 1: you know, all of that. That was it was great

348
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:55,560
Speaker 1: to go to a Super Bowl. And I actually went

349
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:58,919
Speaker 1: to one of those Super Bowls in Atlanta, and you know,

350
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:03,159
Speaker 1: unfortunately it didn't work out for us. The first of

351
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:06,200
Speaker 1: Super Bowls in January nineteen ninety one, I would see

352
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:09,480
Speaker 1: an ANSD Military Affairs corresponded at the Pentagon and the

353
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:13,640
Speaker 1: first goal for had just started. The Air War was underwent,

354
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:16,720
Speaker 1: and it was it was a tough situation, uh And

355
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 1: I remember sitting in my little office at the Pentagon

356
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:23,960
Speaker 1: watching what was happening in the war on one TV,

357
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:27,439
Speaker 1: but watching the Bills game on the other TV. And

358
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 1: unfortunately we lost that game, but we went out to

359
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:33,640
Speaker 1: win the war, which was well we were doing. I'm

360
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:37,879
Speaker 1: glad the other screen actually did win. Yeah, just yes, Um,

361
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:40,919
Speaker 1: you know, I know you're not shy about flying the flag.

362
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:44,760
Speaker 1: We've been talking to fans today about the nervous energy

363
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:47,920
Speaker 1: that they have leading up to a game of this magnitude.

364
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:50,520
Speaker 1: You know, the divisional playoff on Saturday night between the

365
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:53,400
Speaker 1: Bills and the Ravens. Where where are you Wolf? Because

366
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 1: we saw you last week with the Bill's T shirt on?

367
00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 1: You know, getting some steps in on the treadmill. Is

368
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:02,480
Speaker 1: that how you kind of burn off your nervous pregame energy.

369
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:05,119
Speaker 1: I've got a routine. I got a little routine. I

370
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 1: exercise in the morning on the treadmill in order before

371
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 1: a big game. There's there's a nice picture. I tweeted it,

372
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:14,960
Speaker 1: I instagrammed at Facebook at the whole nine yards. I

373
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:17,240
Speaker 1: love the Bills, but you got to get a good

374
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:19,320
Speaker 1: sweat in the morning to get ready for the game.

375
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:22,480
Speaker 1: Ask me, you know, Stevid Chris asked me what I'm

376
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:25,080
Speaker 1: going to be doing this Saturday getting ready for the game.

377
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 1: What are you going to be doing this Saturday getting

378
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:29,399
Speaker 1: ready for the game? I say it like this, saying Wolf,

379
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:31,159
Speaker 1: what do you ask me, like as if you're with

380
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:33,200
Speaker 1: some real question. Wolf, What are you going to be

381
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 1: doing to get ready for the game this Saturday. That's

382
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:37,960
Speaker 1: such a good question. Thank you so much for asking

383
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 1: me that question. Actually, believe it or not, I'm gonna

384
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:46,800
Speaker 1: be working. I'm anchoring our live special Situation Room coverage

385
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:51,240
Speaker 1: just to the weekend before the inauguration, which is next Wednesday.

386
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:55,280
Speaker 1: I'm going to be anchoring four hours of Situation Room

387
00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:59,399
Speaker 1: live covery Saturday from three pm until seven pm. The

388
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:02,400
Speaker 1: good news is I'm off at seven and the game

389
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:05,400
Speaker 1: starts an hour later, so I'll be okay for the game.

390
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:08,480
Speaker 1: That was the most important consideration I had. But when

391
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:11,119
Speaker 1: Ted Turner hired me at CNN, you know, more than

392
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:14,160
Speaker 1: thirty years ago, he said, if you take this job,

393
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:18,040
Speaker 1: remember the news comes first. That was his message to me.

394
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:20,440
Speaker 1: You know I believe that all these years. So yes,

395
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:22,760
Speaker 1: I'll do the news that'll come first. But then I'll

396
00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:25,720
Speaker 1: watch the game. Scale of one to ten, one being

397
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:28,240
Speaker 1: not stressed at all, in ten being maybe not even

398
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:31,200
Speaker 1: be able to make it to Saturday. What's your level

399
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:34,200
Speaker 1: of angst about this game with the Ravens, I would

400
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:39,520
Speaker 1: say I'm nervous because you know, all of us Buffalo

401
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:42,080
Speaker 1: Bills fans, we've been there. You know, we know what

402
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:43,800
Speaker 1: it's like to win, but we also know what it's

403
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:48,400
Speaker 1: like to lose. I'm reluctant to make any predictions. I'm afraid,

404
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:51,520
Speaker 1: you know, I'll say something that could have an impact

405
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:54,320
Speaker 1: on the game. Whatever. You know, we're all very you know,

406
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:57,919
Speaker 1: we're all very sensitive about that. We don't want to

407
00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:00,520
Speaker 1: give the Bills a jinx. So I would say I'm

408
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:03,960
Speaker 1: about a seven, right, Yeah, And then well, if I'm

409
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:08,600
Speaker 1: always curious because we had another Buffalo native, Bill Fickner,

410
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:11,160
Speaker 1: the actor, on a week or so ago, and he's

411
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:13,720
Speaker 1: cheering from the West Coast. You know, he's got all

412
00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:16,720
Speaker 1: his Bills fandom going out there, but he is in

413
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:20,320
Speaker 1: shy about flexing his Bills muscles on set, you know,

414
00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:22,720
Speaker 1: when he's taping his shows and his sitcom's out there.

415
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 1: I'm curious, what is the atmosphere around the CNN set,

416
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:30,359
Speaker 1: Like do people wear their fandom on their sleeves there?

417
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:32,080
Speaker 1: And you know what the season the Bills have had,

418
00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:34,680
Speaker 1: I'm wondering if you're flexing your Bills muscles a little

419
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:38,280
Speaker 1: bit more this year I think everybody here at CNN

420
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:41,520
Speaker 1: and knows what a Bills fan I am. They have

421
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:44,360
Speaker 1: no doubt about it. They know it. I think that's

422
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:47,520
Speaker 1: one of the reasons that the big shots at CNN decided,

423
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:49,520
Speaker 1: you know, it's gonna be a lot of news this weekend.

424
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:52,320
Speaker 1: Will's can actor from three to seven. And I think

425
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:54,879
Speaker 1: the main reason was he's got to be free in

426
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:58,880
Speaker 1: order to watch that Bills game Saturday night. So everybody

427
00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:02,320
Speaker 1: knows attic Bills fan always have been going back to

428
00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:05,240
Speaker 1: the very beginning. Look, I love Buffalo, and as I

429
00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:07,840
Speaker 1: always tell everyone, you can take the kid out of Buffalo,

430
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:09,840
Speaker 1: but you can't take the Buffalo out of the kid.

431
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:13,760
Speaker 1: Buffalo is a great, great city. It's a city that

432
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 1: welcomed my parents, who were Holocaust survivors who came to

433
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:21,560
Speaker 1: the United States after World War Two, survived the concentration

434
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 1: camp slave they were young kids, but they were allowed

435
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:26,960
Speaker 1: to come to the United States and they settled in

436
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:29,959
Speaker 1: Buffalo and they had a fabulous life. My dad and

437
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:33,280
Speaker 1: my mom love love Buffalo. Everybody in Buffalo is always

438
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:36,400
Speaker 1: so wonderful to my family, So it's got a special

439
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:38,280
Speaker 1: place in my heart. I love the Bills. I love

440
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:41,199
Speaker 1: everybody in Buffalo, and so I'm just so thrilled that

441
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:44,080
Speaker 1: we're doing well this season, and I hope we go

442
00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:48,160
Speaker 1: all the way it must be. And I can say

443
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:50,240
Speaker 1: this that I do have some affection for an affinity,

444
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:52,840
Speaker 1: because it's hard to be a pilgrim in an unholy land.

445
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:56,400
Speaker 1: And you being in DC with the Washington football team

446
00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:59,240
Speaker 1: fans and the Baltimore raven fans just around the corner.

447
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,600
Speaker 1: How is that atmosphere down there with the Ravens coming

448
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 1: to Buffalo? You know, it's nobody. Everybody knows I'm a fanatic,

449
00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:12,680
Speaker 1: and plenty of Ravens fans and plenty of Washington football

450
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:17,040
Speaker 1: team fans and it's all we're all excited. Uh. You know,

451
00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:21,360
Speaker 1: I love football. My football career sort of ended when

452
00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:24,080
Speaker 1: I was a freshman at ub uh it even before

453
00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:27,560
Speaker 1: the season began. It ended. I was not very good,

454
00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:29,560
Speaker 1: but I loved the game, so I wanted to try out.

455
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:33,160
Speaker 1: Didn't necessarily work out, but you know what, I settled

456
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:37,400
Speaker 1: for another career in journalism. It's worked out, okay, yes, yes, Uh.

457
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:41,199
Speaker 1: Question for you, Wolf, where can we expect to find

458
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:45,640
Speaker 1: you on CNN's coverage for Inauguration Day next Wednesday. Maybe

459
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:47,159
Speaker 1: just give us the four one one on that if

460
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:49,800
Speaker 1: you don't mind, I'll be here in Washington. We have

461
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:53,800
Speaker 1: a special location, uh that CNN has developed for me

462
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:57,440
Speaker 1: and for John King. Will be at an area overlooking

463
00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:01,080
Speaker 1: the US Capital. It's a it's a beautifu full, liveshot location.

464
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:04,040
Speaker 1: So it'll be good. We'll be busy, you know, from

465
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:06,680
Speaker 1: early in the morning until after the inauguration and into

466
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:10,120
Speaker 1: the evening. You know, it's a tense situation right now

467
00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:12,240
Speaker 1: and Washington. I've lived here for a long time, ever

468
00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:15,320
Speaker 1: since I came here for graduate school. And you know

469
00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:18,240
Speaker 1: what's so sad is if you walk around and you

470
00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:21,399
Speaker 1: see all the military personnel, and even at a regular

471
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 1: street corner, you see troops, armed troops just standing. Twenty

472
00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:30,160
Speaker 1: thousand National Guard troops have already been activated or here

473
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:33,160
Speaker 1: and washed. Another ten thousand law enforcements. Those numbers are

474
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:35,800
Speaker 1: going to go up between now and Wednesday, And it's

475
00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:38,680
Speaker 1: so depressing when you think about this is the United

476
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:41,840
Speaker 1: States of America and it could be very few people

477
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:44,439
Speaker 1: at the inauguration. The mayor doesn't want anybody to be

478
00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:46,880
Speaker 1: on the Washington involved security is going to be very

479
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:52,840
Speaker 1: tense and it's it's painful to see what's going on. Yesterday,

480
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:54,680
Speaker 1: when I was just walking around, I wanted to see

481
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:58,200
Speaker 1: what was happening, and I would see these these National

482
00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:02,800
Speaker 1: Guard troops armed, you know, you know, major weapons on

483
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:06,560
Speaker 1: regular street corners, just protecting people. I'd say to myself,

484
00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:08,639
Speaker 1: you know, I covered the word a rock. I was

485
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:10,840
Speaker 1: in Fallujah, I was in Mosul, I was in Dagda.

486
00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:14,560
Speaker 1: You get used to seeing armed US military personnel corners

487
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:17,800
Speaker 1: in a worst situation like that, but it's not normal

488
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:20,359
Speaker 1: to see it here in the nation's capitol. And that

489
00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:25,160
Speaker 1: was very worrisome. And my last question, Wolf is this

490
00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 1: do you expect to go Do you expect it to

491
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:31,560
Speaker 1: go off without a hitch on a Auguration Day? I

492
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:35,600
Speaker 1: hope and pray it will. I hope everybody learned their

493
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:38,879
Speaker 1: lessons from last week when it was an awful scene

494
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:42,000
Speaker 1: that we saw on folding up on Capitol Hill. I

495
00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:45,760
Speaker 1: know that they've built fences and they've got barricades, and

496
00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:50,200
Speaker 1: they've blocked off tons of streets. I hope it goes smoothly.

497
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:52,960
Speaker 1: I hope people have learned their lessons and we get

498
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:56,800
Speaker 1: through it peacefully. That's the most important, all right, Wolf, Well,

499
00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:59,040
Speaker 1: we thank you for the time. We hope that the

500
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:02,400
Speaker 1: Bills can give you another smile this weekend and enjoy

501
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:05,719
Speaker 1: the next week heading into Inauguration week. Keep doing what

502
00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:08,199
Speaker 1: you're doing. We're watching from back here in Buffalo all

503
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:10,080
Speaker 1: the time. So thank you for the time you gave

504
00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:12,400
Speaker 1: us today. Give us one more Go Bills before you go,

505
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:17,240
Speaker 1: I'll leave you with the most important words, Go Bills. Okay, Steve.

506
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:19,160
Speaker 1: We close out this edition to the show with our

507
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:22,639
Speaker 1: popular Worry Awards segment called should We be Concerned? I

508
00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:26,960
Speaker 1: present a scenario to Steve and he makes an assessment

509
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:30,359
Speaker 1: and decides should we be concerned? So the last time

510
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:32,800
Speaker 1: the Bills faced a running quarterback, it was Kyler Murray

511
00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:36,160
Speaker 1: in Week ten. As you know Steve at Arizona, Buffalo

512
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:39,560
Speaker 1: surrendered two hundred and seventeen rushing yards in the game,

513
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:42,760
Speaker 1: the second highest total this year, and as we know,

514
00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 1: it was the last time they lost a game. Knowing

515
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:48,640
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson is fresh off a one hundred thirty six

516
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:52,200
Speaker 1: yard rushing day at Tennessee, should we be concerned? I

517
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:55,040
Speaker 1: would say yes. Laura Jackson was the MVP last year.

518
00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:57,240
Speaker 1: Because of this offense that they're running and they've evolved

519
00:28:57,240 --> 00:29:00,200
Speaker 1: away a little bit from it, but it's still and

520
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:02,400
Speaker 1: share of what they do. If Lamar Jackson doesn't have

521
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:04,680
Speaker 1: a good day run in the football, the Baltimore Ravens

522
00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:08,000
Speaker 1: don't win. That's how and they know that, so they

523
00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:10,360
Speaker 1: have multiple ways to get him the football. They have

524
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:13,480
Speaker 1: multiple ways to use him not only in the running game,

525
00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:16,680
Speaker 1: but also to throw it when he needs to and also,

526
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:18,920
Speaker 1: you know, make it look like he's gonna run and

527
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:20,719
Speaker 1: not run it so that you've got to watch everybody.

528
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:24,080
Speaker 1: Their run game is special. It's like it's something that's

529
00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:28,640
Speaker 1: that statistically we haven't seen since the fifties. And I

530
00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:31,040
Speaker 1: think one of the reasons it's been so effective is

531
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:34,280
Speaker 1: because teams aren't built for this kind of offense. To

532
00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:38,280
Speaker 1: defend it, you've got to be very big upfront, very athletic,

533
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:42,720
Speaker 1: and if you're big enough, if you're big enough to

534
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:45,240
Speaker 1: to you know, to stone them in the run game,

535
00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:49,840
Speaker 1: you're not fast enough to catch Lamar, right, That's the issue.

536
00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:53,400
Speaker 1: Lamar's speed makes this a different animal and their commitment

537
00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:56,000
Speaker 1: to letting him carry the football. Most teams don't want

538
00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:59,880
Speaker 1: their quarterback at risk that much. They have no issues

539
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:03,280
Speaker 1: handing Lamar of the football two dozen times in a game.

540
00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:05,960
Speaker 1: That's a concern. The Bills did do a good job

541
00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:11,040
Speaker 1: in last year's meeting back in Week fourteen, when the

542
00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:15,280
Speaker 1: defensive approach was to attack Lamar, not sit back and

543
00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:18,400
Speaker 1: wait on him. Attack him to force him to make

544
00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:21,840
Speaker 1: a decision, make a move, decide where you're headed. Now,

545
00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:24,240
Speaker 1: you do run the risk of looking foolish if you're

546
00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:27,800
Speaker 1: first man to the show there, as we saw. Matt

547
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:32,360
Speaker 1: Milano unfortunately became like a social media meme because Lamar

548
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:34,720
Speaker 1: did fake him out on one particular play. But that

549
00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:38,400
Speaker 1: approach on the whole worked pretty well, and so I

550
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:42,120
Speaker 1: wonder how much they employ that again, because if you

551
00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:44,520
Speaker 1: sit back and wait on Lamar, I think he's going

552
00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:47,200
Speaker 1: to eat you alive. You have to take the attack mindset,

553
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:49,959
Speaker 1: and we heard some of the Bills players express as

554
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:52,800
Speaker 1: much this week. When you're when you're facing a dynamic

555
00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:55,840
Speaker 1: athlete like that, you must attack. You can't just sit

556
00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:58,680
Speaker 1: back and hope to, you know, necessarily corral him. There

557
00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:01,560
Speaker 1: will be there will be instances where that's the way

558
00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:03,640
Speaker 1: to go and you know, hurt him to the sideline

559
00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:06,479
Speaker 1: or whatever. But at that line of scrimmage, it looks like,

560
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:08,800
Speaker 1: you know, at least from last year's evidence, they may

561
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:11,080
Speaker 1: want to attack him to get him to back up,

562
00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:13,040
Speaker 1: and then you know, make a move or make a decision,

563
00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:15,720
Speaker 1: and hopefully make a poor decision. The crucial element of

564
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:17,840
Speaker 1: the entire thing is he's so fast you can't and

565
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:20,880
Speaker 1: you're so hyped up to get a hit on him

566
00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:23,040
Speaker 1: or to grab him. You run, you sprint to the

567
00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:26,040
Speaker 1: ball to get him, and you'll see a lot of

568
00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:28,760
Speaker 1: tacklers run past him. He'll just sidestep and you're you're

569
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:32,080
Speaker 1: you're skidding on your face mask past him, right. I

570
00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:34,200
Speaker 1: think the key is you got to go up and

571
00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:36,160
Speaker 1: and you have to break down. Now. Certainly, if you

572
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:38,080
Speaker 1: break down, he breaks down, he'll be able to out

573
00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:40,760
Speaker 1: accelerate you away. You know you're not gonna be able

574
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:44,280
Speaker 1: to catch him, but you're still in the play. And

575
00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:49,480
Speaker 1: when you break down, he has to break down to

576
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:52,160
Speaker 1: make a move, and every hesitation he has means he's

577
00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:54,240
Speaker 1: not running full speed and the pursuit is going to

578
00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:57,680
Speaker 1: come to you. You've got to use your herd mentality

579
00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:01,160
Speaker 1: to tackle Lamar because he out runs every single guy

580
00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:05,000
Speaker 1: on the field. You can't let him sidestep you and

581
00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:07,280
Speaker 1: then have not have to worry about you any And

582
00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:09,520
Speaker 1: that's that's what comes when sprinting to Lamar and then

583
00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:11,880
Speaker 1: breaking down right in front of him so that he

584
00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:14,960
Speaker 1: can't send you pass and forget about you. Two of

585
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:17,120
Speaker 1: the last three meetings between the Bills and Ravens have

586
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:20,720
Speaker 1: been decided by seven points or less, including last year's

587
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:24,360
Speaker 1: Week fourteen game twenty four seventeen won by Baltimore. Should

588
00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:27,000
Speaker 1: we be concerned if the game is close again? And

589
00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:29,760
Speaker 1: I ask this because I think we know if the

590
00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:31,920
Speaker 1: game is closed, Baltimore can continue to do what they

591
00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:34,000
Speaker 1: do on offense. Yeah, no, I don't. I don't have

592
00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:37,640
Speaker 1: a problem with a close game. Bill's offense is potent

593
00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:41,680
Speaker 1: enough to be its own problems for them, and it's

594
00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:43,840
Speaker 1: just as easy to quick strike in them. It's easier

595
00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:45,520
Speaker 1: to quit strike in the passing game that it is

596
00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:48,080
Speaker 1: in the running game, because you know, once you get

597
00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:49,880
Speaker 1: past the line of scrimmage, nobody else is going to

598
00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:54,040
Speaker 1: get the football with Josh and this offense is ability.

599
00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:56,720
Speaker 1: I think this offense one of the reasons teams have

600
00:32:56,920 --> 00:33:00,320
Speaker 1: not swung the pendulum away from the passing game they

601
00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:02,600
Speaker 1: have in Baltimore. First of all, you don't have a

602
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:07,600
Speaker 1: guy like Lamar. Second of all, the game is structured

603
00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:12,880
Speaker 1: and administrated and officiated to have an offense like the

604
00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:16,560
Speaker 1: Bills have it. It's built for that. The game is

605
00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:21,080
Speaker 1: built for it. Lamar and the Ravens have an offense

606
00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:25,240
Speaker 1: that's unique and different. So in a game that turns

607
00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:27,200
Speaker 1: into a shootout, the Bills are built for what the

608
00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:30,200
Speaker 1: game is made for, and they have to contain an

609
00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:33,840
Speaker 1: offense that's unique and different inside the game itself. So

610
00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:37,960
Speaker 1: I think that will work for the Bills at certain times,

611
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:40,320
Speaker 1: no question. I think the one thing that does concern

612
00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:44,640
Speaker 1: me is Baltimore plays very physical on the outside and

613
00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:47,480
Speaker 1: in the secondary, very physical, and they dare the officials

614
00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:49,320
Speaker 1: to get involved, and they're not going to throw a

615
00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:52,640
Speaker 1: flag on every single play. They get tired of throwing flags,

616
00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:56,720
Speaker 1: They absolutely get tired of it. They won't officiate the

617
00:33:56,760 --> 00:33:58,880
Speaker 1: way they do, So the Bills receivers gotta have a

618
00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:02,720
Speaker 1: plan for being man handled or at least having those

619
00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:04,840
Speaker 1: guys try to get their hands on him in the secondary.

620
00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:08,960
Speaker 1: Only once in twenty one such games has Lamar Jackson

621
00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:11,120
Speaker 1: come back from a deficit of ten points or more

622
00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:15,000
Speaker 1: to win. It was last week against the Titans. If

623
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:18,759
Speaker 1: the Ravens fall behind by ten points or more on

624
00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:23,759
Speaker 1: Saturday Night against the Bills, should Ravens fans be concerned?

625
00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:25,919
Speaker 1: What do we think of that history? Yeah? I think so,

626
00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:29,120
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you why. This Bills team lost a

627
00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:31,239
Speaker 1: game this year on a hail Mary where they let

628
00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:32,960
Speaker 1: a team hang around, or they couldn't get away from

629
00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:34,799
Speaker 1: a team and they lost on the last play they

630
00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:38,040
Speaker 1: gave up. They had to defend on side kicks early

631
00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:39,600
Speaker 1: in the year because they had big leads and let

632
00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:42,120
Speaker 1: them whittle away. This is a team that over the

633
00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:45,800
Speaker 1: last few weeks of the regular season put teams away

634
00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:48,160
Speaker 1: and then stomped them and made sure they stayed away.

635
00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:51,520
Speaker 1: They won by twenty nine points in week fifteen, nine

636
00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:54,920
Speaker 1: again in sixteen, and thirty in week seventeen. If you

637
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:57,840
Speaker 1: get down to this team, don't look for them to

638
00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:00,200
Speaker 1: look up and take a deep breath. They're going to

639
00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:02,319
Speaker 1: shift gears and try and beat you by twenty eight.

640
00:35:03,120 --> 00:35:05,760
Speaker 1: They're thirty thirty two. They're not going to stop because

641
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:07,479
Speaker 1: they do not want to get into a point where

642
00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:09,560
Speaker 1: one play can lose it for him. Because it's happened

643
00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:13,359
Speaker 1: good stuff. Steve that's all the time we have for
